Time to say good morning 90 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: to Rich Frankel, former Special Agent in charge of the 91 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: FBI in New York. Good morning, Rich, Good morning. 92 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 7: Are you good? 93 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: Good? 94 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: Good? So we wanted to talk to you because President Trump, 95 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: of course removed Christy Nome as the Homeland Security Secretary, 96 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 1: replaced her with Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen. What do 97 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: we know about him? 98 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 5: So, first off, he's not a law enforcement DHS person, 99 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 5: you know, you didn't come from that background. However, you know, 100 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 5: appears to be a pragmatic type of individual from what 101 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 5: I'm reading, even keeled, and you know, has been in 102 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 5: the Senate for a few years, so has been able 103 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 5: to not only hopefully make friends on the Republican side, 104 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 5: but also forge relationships on the Democrat side, which is 105 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 5: something he's going to need now because the budget issues 106 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 5: facing DHS. 107 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: Okay, and with everything going on, speaking of the budget 108 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: issues with DHS, he's going to have to hit the 109 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 1: ground running. So what are some of the things he 110 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: is dealing with. Of course, the funding issue with DHS, 111 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: which they held a vote yesterday and voted it. 112 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 5: Down correct, so that I think that's, you know, number 113 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 5: one issue, and the problem for him is I think 114 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 5: he's got three number one issues, but that's the number 115 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 5: one issue is that he's got to you know, he's 116 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 5: got to get funding. You have to have the board 117 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 5: is protected, and if you don't have funding, there are 118 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 5: going to be holes in that border. Also, that agency 119 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 5: runs the SEESAW, which is the side infrastructure security agency. 120 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,679 Speaker 5: They're down at less than fifty percent, maybe around thirty 121 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 5: percent right now, and they handle infrastructure protection as far 122 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 5: as cyber If they're not up and running, that's a 123 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 5: big hole in our protective shield right now. So I 124 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 5: think that's a major issue for him. Of Course, you 125 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 5: also have Iran and the threat coming from overseas, the 126 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 5: Fatua that just happened, and you know, how are we 127 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 5: going to ensure that you know, there's no issues here 128 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 5: in the US, there's no active threat right now, but 129 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 5: because of that Fatua, the threat level is more heightened. 130 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 5: I would I would say, you know, we've had a 131 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 5: cell here in New York that's actually was operational is 132 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 5: on trial right now in Brooklyn. So it's not unheard 133 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 5: of to have you know, Iranians try to do something 134 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 5: here in the US or you know, use lolln wolves. 135 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 5: And then also of course you know the CBP ice 136 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 5: Border Protection uh you know, uh pr issues that he's 137 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 5: selling here in in in you know, internally in the 138 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 5: United States. Uh, he's got to figure out a way 139 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: that they can operate here in the US but not 140 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 5: be you know, uh considered you know, uh you know, 141 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: uh to be to be the to be the to 142 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 5: be the bad side. Uh. You know, in some way 143 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 5: he's got to figure out a way that they can 144 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: work with the States so that they can uh you know, 145 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 5: do do their job, but also not not uh be 146 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 5: a target of everyone. Uh you know the way it 147 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 5: is right now, Yeah. 148 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: And which we know that know him had a kind 149 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: of contentious relationship with a lot of people, so maybe 150 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: they're hoping that this will be a smoother sailing, although 151 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: I was thinking that you know, you're talking about all 152 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: these different agencies including t s A that they are 153 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: working without paychecks right now, and so that putting him 154 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: into that position and saying, hey, you guys, let's keep 155 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: at it. You'll get your paycheck eventually. But I would 156 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: think that that would be very challenging. 157 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it is, uh, and you're one hundred percent right. 158 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 5: I was in the FBI when you know, we watched 159 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 5: our paychecks for a little bit of time and and 160 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 5: it hurts. You know, a lot of those people work 161 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 5: paycheck to paycheck and to be honest, and they're not 162 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 5: really sure how they are living if they're not getting paid. Uh. 163 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 5: So you know, if somebody is going into work every 164 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 5: day and their there mental state is you know, how 165 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 5: am I going to get food on the table? Are 166 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 5: they are they as focused on making sure that you know, 167 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 5: somebody is not coming through uh, you know TSA with 168 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 5: a weapon.

Thanks for getting up early with this. So 305 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: you wrote this book, and I saw the press release 306 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: on it and I go, oh, my gosh, I have 307 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: to read this book. And I will tell you that 308 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: since reading it, I've noticed even more how pervasive our 309 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 1: phones are. Like I'll find myself sitting on the couch 310 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: just playing Solitaire and other word games for hours at 311 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: a time, and it's just this time suck and then 312 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: like I'll put the phone down and then I'll get 313 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: this feeling like I need to pick it up and 314 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: play another game, and I was like, oh my gosh, 315 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: why is that? 316 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, the core pieces dopamine. Dopamine is the most powerful, 317 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 7: one of the most powerful molecules in the brain. And 318 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 7: each time you tap your phone, whether it's with Solitaire 319 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 7: or whether it's Internet browser or WhatsApp, whatever it might be, 320 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 7: it releases dopamine. So it just becomes more and more pleasurable. 321 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 7: And the smartphone is literally a shortcut machine. And that's 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 7: what's going on behind the scenes in your mind. 323 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: Okay, so the premise of the book seems pretty straightforward. 324 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: You know that it may be time to break up 325 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: with your phone. But I want to ask you kind 326 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: of what is the goal of the book, Like, what 327 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: gave you the idea to write it? 328 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 7: Sure, And it all started with me. I was thick 329 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 7: of my smartphone taking up hours of my day.

We don't get that time back. And 332 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 7: I was a father to young kids. In twenty nineteen, 333 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 7: I realized this. I had enough, So in twenty twenty, 334 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 7: I turned my smartphone off for an entire year, and 335 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 7: it was one of the most transfer formative moments of 336 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 7: my life. 337 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 3: And what I realized is that you look at all 338 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 3: the various self help articles and books everyone is espousing. 339 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 7: Hacks, noble as they might be, but deleting social media, 340 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 7: putting a rubber band around your. 341 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: Phone, digital status. 342 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,239 Speaker 7: All these things are great, but preying as addictive as 343 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 7: a phone as you were just talking. 344 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 3: About it doesn't go far enough. 345 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 7: So I end up interviewing dozens of people over the 346 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 7: course of the last couple of years and found that 347 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 7: the first step to establishing a more effective relationship with 348 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 7: your smartphone is to turn it off. 349 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: Okay, so turn off completely. So no GPS, no texting, 350 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: no social media, just done. 351 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 352 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 7: So, there are four different styles that outline in the 353 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 7: book in terms of turning it off. The most popular 354 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 7: one I think that will resonate for your listeners is 355 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 7: to switch to a basic phone. And I say basic phone, 356 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 7: I mean basic. 357 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: Like calling and texting. 358 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 7: There are some like Kosher phones or wise phones that 359 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 7: have more features. For the sake of recalibrating the reward 360 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 7: pathways in your brain, I highly recommend switching over to 361 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 7: a basic phone. You can have your same phone number, 362 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 7: you can switch over the SIM card at your local 363 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 7: AT and T Verizon your T Mobile story. And by 364 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 7: doing that, by switching over to a. 365 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 3: Basic phone, you're going to regain the most. 366 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 7: Precious resource source in life, which is time. You're going 367 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 7: to get hours back because you're not going to want 368 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 7: to text on this terrible device because it takes forever 369 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 7: to text and it'll completely reset you. So one of 370 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 7: the four breakup styles are recommend is switching to a 371 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 7: basic phone. 372 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: Okay, So then Richard, also tell me, like you said 373 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: that one of the things you noticed when I was 374 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: reading your book, you said you you and your wife 375 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: would come sit down on your couch at night and 376 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: you wouldn't talk to each other because you just stick 377 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: your noses in your phones and you're doing your own thing. 378 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: How did that immediately change when you turned your phone off. 379 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, my wife and she's a doctor, she's a physician. 380 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 7: She's very very busy in terms of her hours. And 381 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 7: what would end up happening is during the day. I'm 382 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 7: sure many other married couples who are listening go through that. 383 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 7: You text each other throughout the day spousands, I mean, 384 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 7: there's dozens. 385 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 3: Of texts that are happening.

When everything had happened during the day, 390 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 7: it's nothing to catch up on. And all of a sudden, 391 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 7: you know, we stopped this texting throughout the day and 392 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 7: we actually like sit down and have dinner as a family, 393 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 7: and like, I'm genuinely curious about what happened during the day, 394 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 7: and same for her in terms of what happened. 395 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 3: For my day. 396 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 7: It completely reset our relationship and it grew tremendously since 397 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 7: I went to this process and with the dozens of 398 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 7: people I interviewed in the book in my profile, it 399 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 7: was the same.

So 504 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 7: before you go through any sort of ETOs in terms 505 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 7: of turning your phone off, I have a whole section 506 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 7: in my book about preparation. I think those are some 507 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 7: of the initial things you can do to start to 508 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 7: realize that Okay, I can do this, okay. 509 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: And another example that you gave Richard that I absolutely 510 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 1: loved was you said after you turned your phone off 511 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: or you left it behind. I'm not sure if it 512 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: was before you or after you actually turned the smartphone off. 513 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 1: As you said, you went to the grocery store and 514 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: you were standing in line and you just had to 515 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: stand there because you didn't have a phone to check. 516 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: And how weird that feeling is because we're so used 517 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: to be being connected all the time. 518 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so true. 519 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, the first day of my detox, Yeah, I was 520 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 7: at the grocery store and yeah, even just for three 521 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 7: four minutes, I could only scan the tabloids for so 522 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 7: long around me, and I'm literally freaking out inside. And 523 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 7: I'm literally standing in line at a grocery store. You figure, okay, 524 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 7: you can deal with it for three or four minutes, 525 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 7: But I was not comfortable enough being in my own skin. Now, 526 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 7: looking back one at five years later, I mean, I 527 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 7: don't go to the grocery store with a smartphone ever. 528 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 7: So now I'm totally comfortable with it. So this whole 529 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 7: process to talk about in the book, it really will 530 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 7: recalibrate the reward pathways in your brain. 531 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Richard Simon, the book is Unplugged, How to Break 532 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: Up with your Phone and Reclaim your Life.

Denisa, 551 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: hope you're listening. 552 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 16: Good morning, Amy. I just would like to say that 553 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 16: wake Up Call is my favorite show on KFI. 554 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: I think you're great. 555 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 16: Thank you but could we just acknowledge that, Denise Pellegrini, 556 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 16: it's very distracting that she sounds exactly like Diane Sawyer. 557 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 16: Am I the only one that hears that? Anyway? Love 558 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,680 Speaker 16: your show, hie. 559 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Denise, have you heard that before? 560 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 5: You know what? 561 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: She's so dead on. I've been trying to figure out 562 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: who you sound like and that that is it? So 563 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: walking in the shoes of giants. 564 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 11: That was not on my Bengo cards. 565 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: Okay, get in your business with Bloomberg's Denise Pellegrine. The 566 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: jobs report us out and it's not good. 567 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 11: No, it is not good. Employers unexpectedly cut ups. So 568 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 11: this is way weaker than expected. Non farm payrolls as 569 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 11: they call them, decrease ninety two thousand last month, and 570 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 11: the unemployment rate rose to four point four percent. Also, 571 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 11: we have word Oracle is going to cut thousands of 572 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 11: jobs now that's coming as they kind of boost their 573 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 11: AI efforts. And I was also thinking about crude oil 574 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 11: features Amy. Yeah, you know, around Christmas Day, NIMEX crude 575 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 11: was around fifty six dollars a barrel. Today it is 576 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 11: hitting eighty six dollars a barrel of almost seven percent. 577 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 11: Again today as investors watch stuff in the Middle East unfolds. 578 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 11: So not good. 579 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 6: We've got a. 580 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 11: Weakening economy but higher inflation that puts the FED in 581 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 11: a very tight box. 582 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: Okay, not everything is going up. Hulu says something's coming down. 583 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, they're slashing their Disney Plus prices. Oh, it's good 584 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 11: news to my sixty two percent. This is just for 585 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 11: three months. The deal four dollars ninety nine cents a 586 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 11: month for that three month period, with ads available for 587 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 11: returning customers as well, which is not always the case 588 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 11: with these specials. And it comes ahead of their streaming 589 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 11: release of Zootopia two, which they're obviously trying to get 590 00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 11: more eyeballs on. 591 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about Costco and tariffs and how Costco 592 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: is addressing the issue. 593 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 11: Yeah, Costco is reporting higher than expected earnings. They beat expectations. 594 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 11: They got market share as more people, you know, went 595 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 11: for that bulk size shopping. 596 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: And because my best friend goes there every single day. 597 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 11: You were, you know, I love this story and I 598 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 11: really want to meet this person. I want to go 599 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 11: to Costco with them. I want to see what they see. 600 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 11: There are some people who say that you can tell 601 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 11: how good the deal is by what the sense value 602 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 11: of the prices ninety eight cents versus seventy six cents, 603 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 11: And there's like code. 604 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: And all that there is. We'll talk about it off 605 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: the air. 606 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 5: Yeah. 607 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 11: Anyway, they say they're going to turn their tariffy funds 608 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 11: into lower prices for members. So your friend's going to 609 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 11: start going twice a day. 610 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's go to the airport for a second. 611 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: I love going into the lounges. I don't get to 612 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: go very often, but every once in a while. It's 613 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: such a treat. But apparently they're changing the way things 614 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: are done there. 615 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 11: Yeah, these loans are really coveted and people like them. 616 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 11: And that's the problem. They don't have enough real estate 617 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 11: because airports just do not have a lot of spare 618 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 11: real estate, and it is very expensive. So what they're doing, 619 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 11: they're raising the prices all these you know, those credit 620 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 11: card tie ins and the airline times or whatever. It's 621 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 11: all getting more expensive. But on top of that, they 622 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 11: are shortening the amount of time you can stay there. 623 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 11: There's this thing sidecar American Express, and you can only 624 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 11: get in like ninety minutes before your flight or something. 625 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 11: You cannot go there's no like shower anymore. Oh, you 626 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 11: just have grab and go food, you get your you 627 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 11: dip in to luxury. So it's sort of like the 628 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 11: airline's version of shrink fla shit, they're shrinking your time 629 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 11: but still giving you some value when you get there. 630 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 1: Okay, that doesn't make me happy at all. But let's 631 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: talk about time. The time change is tomorrow night, and 632 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: which might mean it's harder for people to get up 633 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: the next day. But thank god there's an extreme alarm clocking. 634 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's becoming a big business to amy. Some people 635 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 11: are using apps like news, which charges you money if 636 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 11: you don't get up on time, our alarm me, which 637 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 11: requires you to complete tasks before it stops sounding. And 638 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 11: there's also Pavlock shock clock, according to the Wall Street Journal, 639 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 11: that gives people a shock. 640 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm about bolts to wake you up. 641 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 3: I tried. 642 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 11: I gave my husband Clockey for Christmas ones because he 643 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 11: was having trouble getting up.
