Jonathan Wier (00:09) Welcome to the show everybody, it's me, Jonathan. Ayla Brown (00:12) Hi guys, it's me, Ayla. Welcome to an 8 p.m. show. It's a little more vibey in my area, because I thought it's nighttime, ready to party. Can you feel it? You feel the nighttime vibes right now? Jonathan Wier (00:22) Yeah, the red. The red light's on because you're a hooker. Ayla Brown (00:28) Wow, thanks. I do the red light. Do you know that I've been to a red light district in Amsterdam? Jonathan Wier (00:28) Do you not even get that reference? Which one? That's the only one. Yeah, it's not a red light. It is the red light district. Yeah. Ayla Brown (00:37) it is? I walked through it. I was scared. S-less. I don't want Facebook to kick us off immediately. But I was scared to death. But I was with other people. And they're like, let's go check out the red light district. And they said it like that. So was like, I don't know about that. I've never even like been to a strip club. And they're like, you'll be fine. I'm like, I don't know. Walked through it's like this. literally just like a road with red lights. And there's people like in the window and people walking around and then dumbasses like me who just want to see what's going on. Like they're just looking around like what's going on. And that is the red light district. Jonathan Wier (01:05) Yeah. That was it. That's the only story I from the Red Light District is there are people there and they were looking around. Ayla Brown (01:25) Well, I didn't go in so I didn't see what was happening, but yeah, are we actually live by the way right now? We are? my gosh, I'm so nervous. Jonathan Wier (01:30) We're live. Yep. We're live life. Yep. Here. I have also never been to a strip club. I don't know how I would handle just walking through the... because James and I went to New York back in June and we were walking and there was like this guy coming out with basically a menu for prostitutes. Like, hey! Ayla Brown (01:47) Yep. Hahaha! Jonathan Wier (01:55) Want a date tonight? And I was like, not with you, buddy. And he's like, no, not with me, with one of these fine ladies. And I was just kind of like, why if? If I'm going to a fish market, this is an awful way to put this, but if I'm going to a fish market and the guy's like, hey, look at this fish, but he's not actually pointing at the fish. He's pointing at a picture of a fish. Do that fish, that fish is going to be, hey, why wouldn't you point to the actual fish? Ayla Brown (02:17) Mmm. Mm-hmm. What's the difference between that and a sushi restaurant then? Jonathan Wier (02:26) Where were the women? Like, I don't trust this guy and I wouldn't do it anyway, but it also seemed like sleazy on top of sleazy. Like, it is a hat, a sleazy hat on top of a sleazy hat. Ayla Brown (02:36) And you know that whatever's on that menu is not what you're gonna get in person at all. The girls probably on that menu were super hot. And then you actually like say, I want candy. And then you see candy and she has one leg and you're like, it was only from the waist up. I didn't know. Jonathan Wier (02:42) you mean the person on the menu? Yeah. Yeah, it's... Wait, no, Candy's not here, but we got Peggy! Ayla Brown (02:57) peg leg? no. Sorry. I know. Jonathan Wier (02:59) Peg leg. That's what I was going for. She's a pirate, pirate hooker. Anyway, welcome to the show, everybody. It's our first live at night show. Thank you so much for joining us. I got a bunch of people joining us on Facebook right now, so that's awesome. Hopefully next week we'll have it so we can do it on YouTube as well and get into that algorithm. Today on the show, we're going to talk about how alcohol is going to have a new warning label. Ayla Brown (03:04) You Jonathan Wier (03:26) because it doesn't just get you drunk, it also gives you cancer. We're going to talk about how if you didn't get divorced yesterday on Monday, probably safe for the rest of the year. Probably safe for the rest of the year. I'll tell you why that is. And we have group therapy where we're going to talk to Claire whose problem is her mom died. Ayla Brown (03:38) interesting. That's horrible. Jonathan Wier (03:48) and left her a bunch of money? Ayla Brown (03:51) that's a little better. Jonathan Wier (03:52) and her in-laws did something really embarrassing at dinner regarding that money. Yeah. Yeah. Ayla Brown (03:57) Hmm, okay, I'm excited. Claire coming in hot in 2025. Jonathan Wier (04:03) Yeah. So before we get to all that, oh, we also have the mud, actually. I should mention that. Why was Hulk Hogan getting booed at the WWE, whatever thing that was on Netflix? I honestly don't know, and I don't know what we're going to talk about there, but we'll definitely get into it. And so much more. But first, hey, Aayla, how are you doing? Ayla Brown (04:23) I am wonderful and I'm also maybe steps closer to getting a job. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, I mean, it feels like it's never gonna happen because we've been off of work since August 23rd, but who's counting, right? Jonathan Wier (04:31) Really? Ayla Brown (04:41) But I've been kind of dabbling in what I wanna do and putting resumes out there to some random places, doing some very random things. And one of them I applied and I got through one initial resume send and they emailed me back and they wanted more follow-up questions. So I emailed them my answers to the follow-up questions and I think they liked them. So then they wanted a Zoom. Meeting yesterday, so I had an official interview and I'm gonna just spoil the question now before I tell you I think I might have totally screwed up my interview by asking them one specific question Okay, so let me tell you what the job is first and then I'm gonna tell you what I asked them after the interview or the job interview is over or during it I should say Jonathan Wier (05:29) Wait, the question, let me guess what the question was. Was the question, so am I getting paid for this interview? Because of all the people I know, you're the only one that I could think of that would actually ask that question. So am I getting paid for the interview? Because it took time out of my day. Okay. Ayla Brown (05:37) What? I would never ask to get paid for an interview. You're kidding. Okay. No, I would never do that because I need to get a job. you have a job and I'm so proud of you because you are like providing for your family and making money. And here I am just being like, let's go to the park kids again, anything free in the area on the South Shore. Like, so anyways, there was a job. I need to get out of the house, but there was a on LinkedIn, there was a job. Jonathan Wier (05:56) Yeah. Wish they felt the same way. Yeah. What Ayla's saying is she needs to get out of the house. Ayla Brown (06:16) thing that like pinged me kind of, you know how they, put in that I was interested in broadcast journalism, which LOL, like what opportunities are out there, but it's kind of all I know being on a microphone and so I thought, well, if there's anything that pops up, I'd love to be the first to know about it. And I saw this opportunity to be a video podcast host for a newsletter that goes out. Jonathan Wier (06:40) you were telling me about this. Yeah, this seemed like a good gig. Ayla Brown (06:41) Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's a newsletter that goes out to like 1.3 million people every morning at 6 a.m. Eastern. And it literally is like a little bit of everything from international news, politics, sports, history, science. Like it really is a little dabble of just knowledge. And I think it's really cool. And it's not politically leaning whatsoever. It really is just delivering the news to people who want to know what's going on. but they're looking for someone to take that newsletter and do a video form of the newsletter, a podcast pretty much to coincide with the newsletter. And so I thought that would be fun and I would have to record at night. So after the kids are in bed, and so they seem to like my resume and then they liked the answers that I gave. And then I had an hour long interview with them yesterday on Zoom. And it was the first time I really had to audition for, not a role, but a job, because when Country 1025 called, they literally called me and were like, hey, would you be interested? So I didn't really have to do much. So this time, I felt like, oh my gosh, what do I ask? What do I answer when they ask me certain questions? We talked about wardrobe. We talked about what if I travel? We talked about... how the newsletter was gonna be delivered, is there post-production, all this nitty-gritty, everything was great. And I get to the last question that I have on my phone, because I had written like 13 questions, which I don't know if that's too aggressive or not, but I was just curious about certain things. The last question was, I don't think it's bad, I actually think it's a fair question. I said, Jonathan Wier (08:23) God. boy. Ayla Brown (08:31) So what is the salary that's being offered? Jonathan Wier (08:35) that was what you asked? Ayla Brown (08:35) And all of us, yes, which I don't think is a bad question, but they kind of breezed by it were just like, we're not prepared to give you that answer to the question right now, but just know it's competitive. And it was great talking to you. And I was like, oh, okay. And then like interview pretty much over. And I thought to myself, is this... Jonathan Wier (08:40) No. Ayla Brown (08:59) This is question you're not supposed to ask in like the first meeting because I feel like I screwed up here because maybe they're supposed to tell me and I'm just supposed to wait, but maybe I was too aggressive and I showed my hand a little too early. So what do you think? Jonathan Wier (09:15) Okay, a couple of things. don't think they I think it depends on the job. I never asked about salary in any radio gig until it was they would sit down and be like, all right, we're prepared to make you an offer. And then I'd be like, okay, well, let's talk about it. But I think in that case, you're doing a podcast for well, the other reason why I'll be honest with you. The other reason why I wouldn't ask about salary at the beginning. Ayla Brown (09:25) Okay. okay, okay. Okay. Yeah. Jonathan Wier (09:45) in radio was because part of the goal for me, and this is so pathetic, was to get a market visit. So I wouldn't want to shoot, I would know if they asked me, if I asked, so here's how much I made, how much will I be making there? Then if they aren't competitive with that, then it would be shut down. So I would just let them like whatever so that they'd fly me out to wherever and I got to take a little vacation. Ayla Brown (10:12) my gosh, that's actually smart on your end. But if this is a remote job and I'm pretty much going to be filming here in my house, you know? Jonathan Wier (10:14) Yeah. Right. So that's what I'm saying for this. There's no I asked I'm I am 90 % sure in my first interview with the job I currently have, which is not radio or anything. It's in sales. I asked how much it would be. Yeah, I don't think that's a bad question. Ayla Brown (10:31) Okay, well everyone in the comments section right now is saying you need to know the salary. Justine says, I can't stand when job postings don't have it published or talked about. then. Jonathan Wier (10:37) Yeah. They legally, they're supposed to have the salary in a job posting in Massachusetts, I think. Ayla Brown (10:48) Yeah, well, I mean, it's remote. so upon digging, it did say like what I think the basic salary was, but I don't know. I just I felt a little nervous, like I got some butterflies afterwards, because I thought to myself, okay, that was my last question. And we did just speak for an hour. So maybe it wasn't too offensive. But I also got that feeling like I screwed up. You know that? You know that feeling you get when? Yeah. Jonathan Wier (11:16) yeah, constantly. I never, I've never once, even like when I went out and auditioned or whatever, interviewed for country one or two five, and I felt like it went really well. And then at the airport, they literally told me how much they would pay me. And I was, I was floored because I was, it was twice as much as I was expecting. I still going home was like, they're never gonna hire me. Ayla Brown (11:34) Yeah. Well, by the way, that's why we were fired, everybody. That's why we were fired, because Jonathan was making twice as much as he thought he was going to. Jonathan Wier (11:45) were no you were making you were making half of what you expected I was making twice what I was expecting and yet they were somewhere around the same level. Ayla Brown (11:44) I wasn't, by the way, Jonathan was. Jonathan Wier (11:53) Anyway, no, it's perfectly fine to ask about salary and any place that's gonna shut you down for asking about salary isn't a place you're gonna wanna work at. Screw them, they should be upfront about that. What do you? Ayla Brown (12:00) Yeah. No, they didn't shut me down. They were they just said we don't we're not prepared to give you that but it is just so know it's competitive. okay. I want I want you to know that like if I do get this job, I'm really excited about it. So Jonathan Wier (12:07) No, I was speaking more hypothetically. If somebody shuts you down... Yeah, good point. Yeah, I'm sure it's a fantastic place. And hey, if they're looking to hire somebody else, I'd be willing to do too. No, I'm not getting a lot. But I'm just saying hypothetically, if you did ask, and somebody's like, it's competitive, we'll talk to you later. Then screw them. Yeah. Yeah. Because that that is a place that isn't going to pay you much and isn't worth your time or energy or effort. Ayla Brown (12:32) Yeah. Yeah. What if though, what if they throw like an insane number at me? No, they're not, but what if they do because they think I'm awesome, you know, cause in my heart and soul, I feel really special. I don't know if other people feel that way, but it would be so nice to be like, fairly paid to do something I love, God forbid. Jonathan Wier (12:44) They're not. Can I just be upfront with you? They're not. You know, it's funny. We began this episode with me making calling you a hooker for having a red light on. And then, and now you're just like, it's not about the job. It's all about the money. I just need money. I just want to get paid. It's a little... Okay, that's better. Now you're a Minnesotan hooker. Because it's purple, I guess. Yeah. Ayla Brown (13:05) Yeah, hold on. I'm going to change the light because you're an asshole. So hold on. Hold on. I know. Hold on. Ready? how's that? how's that? Now I'm Elsa the hooker from the, yeah. Jonathan Wier (13:27) Anyway, you want me to tell you my worst job interview story? By the way, anybody in the comments if you want. Ayla Brown (13:27) Anyways. God, it's now, hold on. Now I'm at a disco because it is changing colors on me. Jonathan Wier (13:34) Keep it on. I love it. Let's take bets on what color is going to be next. I'll tell you about my worst job interview ever. It wasn't this wasn't my fault. Well, it was a little bit my fault, but not totally my fault. I was 17 years old. And I was in school. But obviously I hated I hated high school. I hated school. I didn't want to be there. And I would let all of my aggression out during P I would go insane. Like Ayla Brown (13:37) Okay, go. Okay. Jonathan Wier (14:01) Not even insane like, he's so competitive, but insane like I would scream at people and throw things at them. Yeah, I know. was off the chain. I was insane. I don't know what to tell you. I was out of my mind. They called me, so they started calling me psycho because I literally would just get in people's faces and start screaming at them during the middle of softball games and stuff. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me. I know. Ayla Brown (14:22) Wow, that's so strange. That is so big. That's like behavior problems. you, okay. Jonathan Wier (14:28) Yes, but nobody cared. They're just like, that guy, that guy's psychotic. Like, ooh boy. they, yeah, a little bit. People, but the funny thing was people loved it. People thought it was hilarious. And I was like, no, I'm actually angry. Like, you will take me seriously. So it's like, imagine a hamster that's just really angry. That's basically how people viewed me. Like fluffy hamsters and they call the hamster psycho. It's hilarious, right? So anyway. Ayla Brown (14:33) Yeah, the 90s were wild. I get it. Jonathan Wier (14:57) I'm out on a job interview for KB Toys, which was a toy store at the mall that I was applying at. And the manager goes, hey, instead of doing this here, let's go out into the mall and do it so we're out of the... And I was like, okay, fine. Everybody's going great. She's talking to me, I'm talking to her, answering all the questions, nailing it. She's like, so why do you... Like, what's your interest in toys? And I was like, oh, I have a little brother and little sister. Ayla Brown (15:04) Okay. no. Jonathan Wier (15:27) Like, love toys growing up. think just seeing the light come on on a child's face when they get a toy would be amazing. Like that would be worth the minimum wage I'm getting here. And as I'm like saying these beautiful, poetic, wonderful things, not one, not two, but three of the guys from my PE class see me from like across the way and go, hey, psycho! Ayla Brown (15:33) my God BS, but go ahead. Wow, you probably won a Golden Globe for that one. Jonathan Wier (15:56) Psycho! And I'm like, yeah, the look on a child's face when... Psycho! When they see it around Christmas, especially if I could be Santa Claus. Psycho! And they like get up to me and start like hit me on the... Hey, psycho, what do you want to date? His manager, by the way, was a woman. Ayla Brown (16:15) God, the manager's like 45 and you're like 17. Jonathan Wier (16:18) And I'm like, leave me alone. Like, don't piss psycho off. Psycho's crazy. Psycho will getcha. Yeah, psycho hates children, let me tell you. she works at KB Toys. Remember what you did to that stretch Armstrong? Fit the whole thing up there. It was amazing, psycho. Ayla Brown (16:26) Psycho hates kids! I can't. Jonathan Wier (16:39) Yeah. I didn't get the job. Ayla Brown (16:39) What happened after that? What? No, no kidding. But like, I'm shocked. Jonathan Wier (16:44) Surprisingly, they left and I was just sitting there going and she's like, okay. Well, I think we have all the information we need Ayla Brown (16:51) I hate when they say that. I hate when... Jonathan Wier (16:53) So it's been a pleasure talking to you, Psych- Jonathan. Jonathan. Psycho Jonathan. Yeah. Ayla Brown (16:57) Psycho Jonathan. I bet you went by Johnny back then. It was Psycho Johnny. Jonathan Wier (17:03) No, I never went by Johnny with anybody but my parents and my family and stuff. I was always John up until I was in radio. Psycho John. Yeah. Ayla Brown (17:07) Okay, psycho John Well, I love that I'm so sorry you didn't get that injured. I mean, you know what though? Here life became way better. You became a pizza driver and then you got into radio and Look at you now Jonathan Wier (17:19) Yeah, oh, so much better. Yeah. You know what? There is like kind of a bridge there because I listened to this one radio station, 971 KFDK in St. Louis when I was a pizza driver because I was, you know, back then we didn't have streaming. So I had a finite amount of music I could listen to. I didn't like listening to the music radio. So I listened. to this talk station, KFTK, which was kind of a cool hot talk station. And they were the ones that did the demo thing, like send us a demo and we'll put you on air and you're right. So if I had gotten that, those guys saved me. Ayla Brown (17:49) Yeah. and you got the tryout and you threw up. but you did throw up on your audition day, so. Jonathan Wier (18:02) I didn't throw up on air. Ayla Brown (18:03) Listen, no, but you were a little nervy and you threw up, which could you imagine if you threw up before the toy store? Like if you got that job and you were so nervous to work at the toy store and you were thrown? You never know. Listen, listen, speaking of, let's move on. You've asked me how I'm doing. I filled you in on my potential job. I won't tell you about the other two jobs that I've applied for, but I am out there. I'm in the streets. Jonathan Wier (18:07) I was incredibly nervous, yeah. At a toy store? No, I can't imagine that actually. That would be... Okay. Mm-hmm. Ayla Brown (18:32) No pun intended, the red light district, but not those streets. I am in the EmployMe streets, and I have some big news to all the local people that are watching right now. When the day comes that the announcement is made, I'm going to, I've told you this, Jonathan, but to everyone else, I'm going to be a spokesperson for a specific beverage that is coming out. So. I'm sure all of the other alcoholic beverages cause cancer except this one. Except this one that I'm going to be endorsing and being the spokesperson for on a formal level, all of the other alcohols, bad news. This one though that I'll tell you about when it's like, know, put out there, it's amazing, incredible. Jonathan Wier (19:10) We're gonna get into the cancer thing with it because I'm just gonna tell you right now after reading the article about alcohol and the amount of cancer it causes I'll take the risk. I'll take the risk I'll take the risk Yes, yes, that's it like really going out side causes more cancer than that literally, okay, we'll talk about that in a minute How am I I am? Ayla Brown (19:22) You're like, only seven types of cancer? Whatever. Yeah. Yeah. How are you? How are you doing? Jonathan Wier (19:38) really good. We got the crap snowed out of us on Saturday. And then the place I worked at, were like, yeah, I had talked to my manager the day before and I was like, are we going to cancel or are we going to close on those days? Because it's going to be bad. And he's like, hey, I've worked at this company for 13 years. We've never once closed the store for anything less than a hurricane. And I was like, OK, so fine. Ayla Brown (20:02) Dang. Okay. Jonathan Wier (20:06) And then I get out of there at about 430 on Saturday. And it was eerie. It wasn't snowing yet. was just a bunch of ice had dropped down. We don't get that a lot in New England, but there was a bunch of ice, just a sheet of it. And I think it's that bad. I'm like pulling out, about to pull onto one of the main streets right outside of my place of business. And it... Ayla Brown (20:18) Cool. Yeah. Jonathan Wier (20:31) I looked around and I realized the cars all look weird. What's going on? They were sliding down this hill. All of the cars. They were not able to stop. They were just sliding slowly and I could see the looks on the faces of the people in the cars. They're just like. Ayla Brown (20:43) That's so scary. Yeah, that's scary. So scary. Jonathan Wier (20:51) Yeah, fortunately, all of them were able to come to a stop before they hit anybody. But it's like, what am I going to do? guess I'm not going to stay at a place I work overnight. I almost thought about getting a hotel, but if I had, I'd have been stuck there for two days because that's how bad it was. I do want to say this one thing, though. Well, I'll say two things. One, New England. Ayla Brown (20:55) Okay. work. Could you imagine? Pull up a cot! Yeah. Jonathan Wier (21:16) deserves all the credit in the world for how prepared they are for snow storms versus the Midwest. When I was there anyway, we never got an ice storm like we got here, but we got way more snow and it was usually cleared within a day or so. Here, they're still working on it. They're still working on it. It's crazy. Ayla Brown (21:20) Mmm. Yeah, those are way worse. Mm-hmm. I mean, might I just add this, that it's probably because we pay higher taxes and the taxes do go to the roads. And so there's a little bit more. Jonathan Wier (21:44) Possibly. You don't really, actually we pay, I pay higher taxes in Kansas than I did in Massachusetts. Yeah. Ayla Brown (21:52) okay, well then you should have better systems. You should have better things. Jonathan Wier (21:55) Yeah, not city taxes, I guess, but state taxes and groceries are taxed here. Anyway, that's one thing. The second thing is this. As I'm driving home, I saw a car that obviously did not get the message that there was an ice storm. It's a Honda Civic with a spoiler on it. Ayla Brown (22:15) What is a spoiler? Sorry, I'm stupid. Jonathan Wier (22:16) Spoilers like one of those little fins that goes on the back of a car like on the trunk So air-resistant to make it go faster. That's what you need on a Honda Civic. Yeah. Yeah Honda Civic. Yeah, your $20,000 race car and the dude was driving Very fast, which means at in this world that we're talking about. He was driving maybe 24 25 miles an hour, but way too fast He goes around a turn and I see him do this. He's turning Ayla Brown (22:23) like a race car on a Honda Civic. Okay. Jonathan Wier (22:42) and he just starts sliding into the turn and he tries to correct and his car goes right into a traffic light, flips on its side and as he's on his side, I'm like watching all this happen, his wheels kept spinning. Like he kept trying to like, he was hitting the accelerator, trying, I guess like thinking, when your car is stuck. Ayla Brown (23:03) Hmm. Jonathan Wier (23:07) You rock it back and forth reverse drive reverse drive until you're out of the rut So Ayla Brown (23:12) Well, he thought he was Vin Diesel. I mean, obviously, he's watched so many movies. He's like, they had to have gotten out at this by putting the acceleration on. Jonathan Wier (23:21) I don't like to admit this, it makes me feel like a bad person. But part of me was like, good, good, good. Because he was driving like an idiot, he could have gotten somebody killed. Fortunately, he only hurt himself. Ayla Brown (23:28) Why? Good that he got in a crash. Jonathan Weir, that's not nice. You should not wish harm on. Jonathan Wier (23:39) Good. I'm not saying it's nice. I'm saying it's real, Ayla. That's what people come to the hangout for. Ayla Brown (23:48) Yeah, I know, they probably do miss our very different moral disagreements because I think it's morally wrong that you would even say that and you are like, good for him, he's an asshole. Okay, he's an asshole but he doesn't deserve to get hurt. Jonathan Wier (24:02) Why not? At what point do you not deserve to get some kind of karmic comeuppance for being an asshole? Ayla Brown (24:10) he'll get it in some other form, but he doesn't need to get hurt. I don't think so. No, no, I just don't think that that's Jonathan Wier (24:12) That's the form he got it in! What's wrong with that? Nope, that's the form he got it in, that's the best form that'll teach him to drive better, you jackass. Yeah! Ayla Brown (24:22) Wow, hey, everyone says they love listening to us at night, by the way, and they haven't listened to our old stations since we were let go. We thank you for that. Thank you.

I remember you had something brewing, but no, I guess you're gonna have to go to Patreon to find out. I genuinely don't remember. Yeah. Ayla Brown (25:24) You don't remember? Do you don't remember? OK, I'll tell you later. But it has to do with leashes and buttons. Jonathan Wier (25:34) He's pretending to be a dog that eats buttons for people. Is that what it is? He eats the buttons and then they have to wait for him to poop them out. That's... That's a gym job. Yeah. Work daddy gym. Ayla Brown (25:37) You all I'm Patreon.com slash Jonathan and Ayla. Woo, listen, I am the hype girl. I'm gonna promote that Patreon page like my life depends on it. Because our jobs depend on it. I'm sorry. Jonathan Wier (25:54) Our jobs do. All right. So what do want to get to first? We're kind of winging this here. New structure, new... Well, we're prepared, but like what order we're going to go in, I don't know. Do you want to do the mud? Do want to do study hall? Do want to do group therapy? Ayla Brown (25:58) No we're not, super prepared. I think we should do quickly the MUD, then we should do the group therapy right after that because it is, it's pretty, it's really good. Yeah, it's really good. And then maybe we can end with study hall and talking about cancer and other really fun, uplifting things. Jonathan Wier (26:11) Bye. pretty pretty fire. Okay. Alright, then let's do the mod. Ayla Brown (26:31) All right, well, the first story that I don't know how many people are talking about this, but as I was scrolling through, finding things to kind of discuss on the show, I saw a headline that basically says, Hulk Hogan booed on first Monday Night Raw on Netflix. And I don't really care about Hulk Hogan and maybe that's the whole point is that not many people care about him, but he appeared on Monday Night Raw. and they're doing this new thing on Netflix where it's literally happening live on Netflix every Monday now instead of like traditional television. When he went out and he did, you know how the wrestlers go out and they get on the microphone and when the Rock, know, John Cena, you can't see me. Like Hulk Hogan got up and he did his thing. And I think in his mind, he thought, okay, I'm a legend, which he is, everyone knows who Hulk Hogan is. Jonathan Wier (27:12) Let me tell you something, Ayla Brown (27:26) He's an actor, he's this and that, he's popular. In his own mind now, he was booed for two minutes straight by the crowd. I was like, okay, maybe it's just the first 10 seconds when he gets out there. And I just scrolled through the whole like two minute video and he is booed the entire time. So I'm just curious like, what that's about, because I always thought that he was popular. And if you're listening to the live right now, Jonathan Wier (27:44) in Tarot Time. Ayla Brown (27:54) Please let us know like why. Okay, so Caitlin said a lot of people were not excited. Jonathan Wier (27:59) Kaitlyn just said a lot of people were not excited for him to be on Raw. And that's why he was booed. Yeah, that's, yeah, people weren't excited for him to be on Raw. But why? Why was he booed because of that? Now, here's a couple things that just popped into my head. One, Tolkogen, think maybe he left the WWE on bad terms. He was like a bad guy for a while. Then he was a good guy. I think he did leave. Ayla Brown (28:04) Why? Where else would he be? Jonathan Wier (28:22) for that other WCW, there was like two big wrestling leagues for a while. And he left to join one of them, I think might've been the problem. The only other thing I can think of... Ayla Brown (28:26) Okay. Jonathan Wier (28:34) is that he spoke at the RNC this year? And like said, let Trumpamania and then he tore his shirt open. Yeah. Ayla Brown (28:43) I I sang at the RNC. I don't get booed when I go out and sing the national anthem. Michael thinks he got booed because of his support of Trump. But let me just debunk that again, because guys, have you been to a wrestling match? And it's like going to a country concert. It's almost like all right leaning people. Jonathan Wier (28:48) Hi. I don't Yeah, but. You. I was gonna say, yeah. Your experience as a singer is, think, a little bit different than him as because he was literally just giving a full throated endorsement. You're you were singing, but that wasn't necessarily an endorsement. I mean, maybe it's implied, but you're right. I think the the Venn diagram of wrestling fans. And Trump fans, it's gotta just be a circle. Ayla Brown (29:24) It's one of those recycling arrows that just keeps going. Jonathan Wier (29:28) At least with men, at least with men. Yeah, I don't... So I don't know. I don't know why he was being booed. Let's see, Caitlin seems to be our expert on this and she says, has to do something with Vince McMahon and his situation. Yeah, and Michael said it's the Trump support. That's why. Jessica said he needs to hang it up and go away. Kind of a has-been. Yeah, but that's not enough to boo him. Ayla Brown (29:34) I don't either. Okay. Maybe. Yeah, because who's like the guy now? I don't know. I only know the old legends and I whatever I don't know. There's not much. Go ahead. What Jonathan Wier (29:54) I have no idea. I... Well, I hate to burst this, because some people were asking me specific questions about it in the chat. I don't have... I see wrestling as entertainment. I don't watch it. I'm not making any kind of judgment on people who do, because I know lots of very smart people who love wrestling. And there's a lot of crossover between people I follow who are big football fans, like that I watch online, or... Ayla Brown (30:25) Mm-hmm. Jonathan Wier (30:26) read or listen to in podcasting that are also big wrestling fans like smart football writers, big football fans. It's just not, not for me anymore. Ayla Brown (30:36) What if Jason Kelsey joined? Because wasn't there talk of him joining? Jonathan Wier (30:40) Wouldn't be, I don't care. Like, I think the fact that it's fake and I'm not saying it doesn't require athleticism. I know. Ayla Brown (30:46) What? Are you kidding me? It's fake? Jonathan Wier (30:53) I think it just it just I've always had kind of a problem with posturing and that's kind of what wrestling is all about just Like I don't know I did enough of that in PE Ayla Brown (31:02) No, you, but you totally have no problem screaming in people's faces and acting like a psycho. So you kind of are the same person as these wrestlers. Jonathan Wier (31:08) Right. Michael said it's the Trump support in LA lots of libs there. mean that I kind of thought that but still it's it's WWE you're get people from all over the country like the people who go to football games at SoFi aren't fans usually have the Rams are the Chargers. They're usually bigger fans of the other teams because they will fly to Los Angeles to go watch the team. So I think a lot of people would fly to LA. for WWE for Raw. I don't know. I don't think the location has anything to do with it. Ayla Brown (31:36) And let me also add, I agree with you because let me also add if WWE were in Boston, which is a very liberal city, you wouldn't know it in TD Garden. I stand by that. Everyone who is not a liberal would be, and even I'm not saying this is a political thing, which it's not, but like you said in the beginning, the diagram of WWE and Republicans or Trump supporters, they're kind of. Jonathan Wier (31:48) Yeah, right. Exactly. Yeah. Ayla Brown (32:05) There's a lot of overlap in our opinion. Jonathan Wier (32:05) Yeah, like that's where you see him show up a lot is at events like this. UFC, kind of stuff. Anyway, all right. Next thing in the mud. Ayla Brown (32:10) Yeah, UFC, yeah, yeah. Next thing in the mud, you wanted to talk about the Golden Globes a little bit, which I did not watch. And I'm really surprised that you wanna talk about the Golden Globes because it doesn't strike me as something that you would care about either, but there is a specific reason you do care and fill us in. There's a connection somewhere. Jonathan Wier (32:18) Yes! . Okay. So here's the reason why Nikki Glaser is the host of the Golden Globes last night. And she apparently did an amazing job. People loved her. She was very funny. She went on Howard Stern show, I think yesterday morning and talked about like had some jokes that she didn't do at the Golden Globes. like, well, they were kind of cut because they were a little bit too edgy. It's funny because Ayla Brown (32:49) Hmm. Were they funny? Ooh, okay. Jonathan Wier (33:00) I'm not saying I'm like good friends with Nikki Glaser, not. But she was an up and coming comic when I was on the air in St. Louis in the mid 2000s. So like 2006, 2010 is when she was kind of on the come up and then she kind of went national a little bit after that. And she would be on several different shows that I produced. And she was one of the nicest people I've ever met. Like, honest to God, no matter what was happening, she was always in a good mood, she was always kind, and generous with her time, would come in if it was a backup host filling in. I mean, she was smart, she knew like this was getting her exposure, but I think it was also she was just, you still, you know this in radio, no matter how much exposure people are getting, Ayla Brown (33:35) Wow. Yeah, but when people are coming up, don't you think they're always nice in the beginning and then something like they get to a certain level of stardom and the niceness fades because they've already gotten to where they needed to get. I'm not saying that that's the case with her. Jonathan Wier (33:56) Maybe, but- I mean, would surprise me. It would surprise me if that hasn't held up because she seems so authentically nice. And then later when I was on air here in Kansas City, I interviewed her just over the phone a couple of times and she was always incredibly nice. Even though it was like an evening show, it kind of hard to get guests sometimes because even though we had really good ratings, there was a lot of people who were like, yeah, how... many people could possibly be listening between six and nine. It's like, well, it's the number one show. Like, you're going to get more exposure on my show than on a 12th rated morning show. She was always nice there. So it's weird to me that she has now made her reputation solely on being mean. It's just, it's weird. That's what made her... Yeah. Ayla Brown (34:27) Yeah, right. Yes. Well, she did the roast of Tom Brady and she was my favorite comic the entire night. I had never seen her stand up. And I was like, who is this girl? I think we need to be friends even though we probably have nothing in common except being so nice to people. Yeah, so I know she really is great. And I do want to watch the Golden Globes now that you say that because Jonathan Wier (34:57) Yeah. Ayla Brown (35:05) It is nice to see good people making successful moves in their life. And it really makes a difference for me, like wanting to support them and follow them and listen to their podcast or watch their standup or whatever, like when I know they're good people. Jonathan Wier (35:21) It's also nice when you know somebody's good and then they become successful. Because I mean, she was one of probably a dozen comics or people that were kind of in rotation as guests on that show that I was working on. And she was fantastic, but it could have been any number of those people could have blown up. And one of them, I don't remember his name now. was on an episode or two of Breaking Bad. was a really big guy on Breaking Bad. I don't remember his name. Ayla Brown (35:26) Right. Hmm. Jonathan Wier (35:48) The trail? I don't remember. But anyway, he was he was a super nice guy, too. The fact that she blew up is like also like we knew it. Yes. Like I didn't bet on it. But I should have if there was a betting market for people that I vaguely know professionally who will become successful. There you go. All right. No, she's just it's just shocking when most people are nice. Most people. Ayla Brown (35:50) Mm. Ha ha ha ha. So was she the nicest person you've met? I mean like. No, but you know what I mean. Jonathan Wier (36:17) Yeah, but she wasn't like, okay, so when is this gonna be over? She was never. It was almost like we had to like go, okay, Nikki, like, here's your parking passes. There's the door. Ayla Brown (36:21) Yeah. the parking passes. That's so kind. The nicest person I've ever met was Natasha Bettingfield. And I sang her song on American Idol. It was actually my elimination song, her song Unwritten. when she came to Boston for the Kiss concert, not that I'm promoting another radio show, but back in the day, I got invited to also sing at the Kiss concert and like open up. for Natasha Benningfield and then introduce her on stage, because it was like a really cool moment. And backstage, my gosh, she was genuinely the nicest human I had ever met in my life. I was just, I thought to myself, if I could even have just a dosage of her kindness toward other people, like who wanna be singers or are fans of mine for whatever reason. I was just like, she's someone that I want to be just like, and I hope, I bet that if you see Natasha Bettingfield like these days, I bet she's still super kind because she has that in her heart. Like you can just sense that. So hopefully Nikki never changes either. Jonathan Wier (37:25) Probably nice, yeah. Whereas with me, people are like, I bet that guy is really nice in person to put up with so much garbage in his life and from his co-host. And they think I'm gonna be nice and they meet me in person like, God, that guy's a dick. What is his problem? He was screaming. He grabbed me by the lapels, lifted me into the air, screamed in my face. Ayla Brown (37:38) sure, I'm sure they think all of that of you. you He's psycho. Jonathan Wier (37:53) I'll say. Actually, I feel like I come across as fairly nice on air to people that aren't you. But I try to be a lot nicer in public just because I'm am blown away anytime anybody recognizes me. And it happens more here than it did in Boston. Yeah. Well, no one in Lexington was listening to the radio. Anyway. Ayla Brown (37:54) That's my friend. That's funny. Well, you, yeah. Well, Kirby, who is listening right now says, I have to say it's so weird seeing your faces after just hearing your voices for so long. Jonathan Wier (38:21) I have say, it's so weird seeing your faces. Yeah, no, it is weird. Hopefully it's not. Ayla Brown (38:26) I hope you, Kirby, hope you're enjoying the view. Jonathan Wier (38:30) terrifying Wouldn't you know what wouldn't everybody know what you look like though that doesn't that's like weird to me that that would even be Ayla Brown (38:37) No, because so many people who listened to the radio had no idea that I was even like somebody, like on American Idol, nothing. Like, yeah, yeah. Jonathan Wier (38:38) No? Okay. Really? Wait, wait, wait, wait! thought you were joking early. You were on American Idol? What? Like one of the seasons nobody watched, right? Like not one of the important seasons. It's not like you were on the Chris Dottry season, right? Why you were on that one? Were you the one that beat him? That everybody hated? Did you have a gray wig and were you it to the streets? Ayla Brown (38:51) Hahaha! I hate you. Yeah. Yes I will! Catherine McPhee. No, you mean Black Horse and a Cherry Tree? Everyone is always like, my god, I loved when you sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow. And I was like, that was Katharine McPhee, but thank you. Thanks. Anyways, let's move on. Group therapy. Jonathan Wier (39:19) Uhhhh You Alright, move on. Let's go to group therapy. This is from Claire who says this. absolutely love your podcast and need your take on something that happened to me on New Year's Eve. I've been stewing over it. I'm not sure if I handled it right or if it was completely justified or if I was completely justified in being so angry. Here's what went down. My mom passed away earlier this year and left me a small inheritance. It's been emotional, of course, but I'm careful about how I use that money because it feels sacred. It's from her. Well, fast forward to New Year's Eve. My husband, Ethan, and I were invited by his parents to a fancy new restaurant in town. It seemed like such a nice gesture and I was excited. The evening started great, but as the night went on, I noticed the bill was ballooning out of control. Appetizers, entrees, desserts, drinks, you name it, they ordered it. No one held back. Ayla Brown (41:22) Champagne! Jonathan Wier (41:26) Then the waiter came with the check and before I could blink, my mother-in-law turns to me and says, as casual as you please. Claire, since you've come into some money, wouldn't it be lovely if you treated us tonight? My stomach dropped. And then my father-in-law chimed in. It's not about the money, he said. It's about bringing the family closer together. You should think about that. Here's the kicker. Ethan, my own husband, said nothing. He just sat there shrugging like it was no big deal. He muttered something like, come on, it's just dinner, but offered no support. I felt so betrayed. I was cornered, angry, and embarrassed all at once. I reached for my wallet because what else could I do? But then I stopped. It hit me that this wasn't about just one dinner. It was about the principle. My mom's money isn't for funding elaborate dinners. It's for something meaningful. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Was I being unreasonable for being furious at their assumption that I'd cover the bill? And how do I even address this with Ethan, who just sat there and let it happen? Thanks for letting me vent. You guys are the best. That's from Claire. All right. I don't know. I kind of feel like Claire's wrong. Ayla Brown (42:42) No you don't. No you don't. No you freaking don't, Jonathan. You don't do this to me. What is wrong with your morals? Jonathan Wier (42:50) kind of feel like that's what your mother would want you to spend the money on. Would want you to spend it on a nice dinner. Maybe she would choose different company. Maybe she didn't like your in-laws. But I kind of if I was dying and I am as we all are, if I was gonna die and leave some money to my kids, I would hope that they would spend it on something fun, not on something Ayla Brown (42:56) Did she say that? Jonathan Wier (43:18) like meaningful, you're never going to find out what you're never going to figure out what that meaningful thing is. Your in-laws did you a favor. They did you a favor by dropping that evening into your lap. You never know when it's going to come. Ayla Brown (43:27) by, they did the, mm-mm. Death. Jonathan Wier (43:36) A death or a meaningful moment? Ayla Brown (43:38) Or a meaningful moment, okay sure that sounds a little I think that sounds a little cray cray because She was not privy to that before the dinner started. Okay. There's a difference between Having someone hand you the bill when you're already feeling Overwhelmed I'm putting myself in this position. Okay, I Don't like spending money Jonathan Wier (43:41) Get off your high horse, Claire! Ayla Brown (44:01) Okay, I'm one of those people where I'm looking at the appetizers, I'm looking at the drinks and I'm thinking, my gosh, who is picking up this bill? If someone handed me the bill and then said, well, your mom just died. Like, you can afford it. Yeah, I could maybe afford it. I don't know how much she left me. But if it was 20K and this dinner was $4,000, it's not worth my money. Now, did she leave me 80 million? Then sure, I would pay for it. But my guess is that she, the mother was not a millionaire or modest amount. I don't think spending it on that without the consent prior is appropriate. It's not the right thing to do. people, her husband should have totally, totally stuck up for her, but he didn't, which makes me feel like he's weak. He's a weak man. He's a weak ass man that needs to grow some. Jonathan Wier (44:33) off to a modest amount. see what the audience says. Megan says, Claire, absolutely don't think you should have had to pay. It's to spend on other people if you don't want to, maybe on her and her husband. my god, Jonathan, laughing my ass off. Kirby says, I lost my mom three years ago this month. Sorry about that, Kirby. I can barely throw away t-shirts that don't fit or broken things that my mom gave me. It's part of the grieving process, letting go of things given to you by a lost parent. That's where I'm coming from. Ayla Brown (44:59) That's not sorry. Jonathan Wier (45:23) Say like, don't hold on to that stuff. Spend the money. Ayla Brown (45:26) what if it's not a lot of money? What if it was like, she left her $10,000 and an old antique table that she thinks is a lot of money, but it's just an oak table. It's probably not worth a ton, but it is very memorable and it's special and sentimental. The money, it's still hers to decide what she wants to do with, okay? And if she doesn't get that choice to choose, I sound like a feminist right now. If she doesn't get the choice to choose what she does with that money, then it's not fair. Jonathan Wier (46:01) What if the mother-in-law leaned over and she's like, your mother told me that this is what she wanted. Ayla Brown (46:05) Jonathan, you're just, you're begging for it. You're begging for one person to agree with you. Jonathan Wier (46:06) She said, make sure you go out on New Year's Eve. She said go out on New Year's Eve. Go to the fanciest restaurant you can. Order the Clams Casino. Ayla Brown (46:17) She said, get the Domperion. can't imagine New Year's Eve like how much that bill would have been. Like at least at least it's usually a prefix menu to where it's like 150 per person. Jonathan Wier (46:22) You my God, to be, it had to probably be over a thousand dollars. Yeah, for four people. Yeah. Yeah. No, but, I don't know, I guess I don't have like, it's probably why I won't be able to leave my kids any money. I don't really have an attachment to money. Like I don't, I don't really care about, I wouldn't go like, I'm holding onto this for a special occasion. Personally, would go, well, okay, this is, it's New Year's Eve. That's a special occasion. If it was just a random ass dinner, if it was just us going out on a Saturday and they were like, hey, can you pay because your mom died? Then I'd be one thing, but it was New Year's Eve. Ayla Brown (47:06) We're at the Outback and they're like, come on, you got the blooming onions tonight! Jonathan Wier (47:09) you Ayla Brown (47:10) not funny. Okay, so basically everyone agrees with me. and no, my god, this is like the show where everyone was on my side, and no one was on yours. Jonathan Wier (47:11) Let's see, one last. She should not have had to pay. That never happened! That never ever happened. No, here's what would happen. Let me give you guys a behind the scenes little glimpse into how these would usually go on the show. We would talk to the caller. and would argue back and forth. All of the lines would blow up with people just agreeing with me, except for one person. And in order to make it look fair, we'd have to put the one person that agreed with Aylan... Ayla Brown (47:23) Yes it did! Jonathan Wier (47:47) And then we'd get through the other calls that just agreed with me, and it was boring because it's like I made my point better than they could. Ayla Brown (47:54) love that you are so distorted on what happened in the morning, which Jonathan Wier (47:57) And then we'd get a bunch of people defending Ayla calling in because they would feel bad for her. Like, I don't know. I think Ayla's right about this. Ayla Brown (48:05) No, no one felt bad for me. They just agreed with my points because there's good and there's evil. And sometimes you just side on the side of evil and it's wrong. Jonathan Wier (48:16) All right, I'll end on this one Rebecca said regardless of how she came into the money nobody has the right to offer her Use of it shame on the in-laws during a vulnerable. I actually do agree with that I'm just saying it's can I can we make it a special occasion where The in-laws definitely suck I'm not on their side, but I'm also just trying to make Make put a silver lining. Yeah, just trying to try to Ayla Brown (48:36) a larger point. Jonathan Wier (48:39) paint a rainbow over this, where it's like, yeah, that sucked that they did that. But on the plus side, you use your money for something fun. Yeah. Ayla Brown (48:48) Okay, I have a follow-up question then. What if she did get inheritance money, which obviously she did, and instead of doing a dinner, she decided that she wanted a brand new designer purse, a handbag. What do you think of her purchase of maybe splurging $3,000 on a purse? Now is that still selfish or is it Jonathan Wier (49:04) Mm-hmm. her money. No. Ayla Brown (49:18) So it's her money, she can decide, even if it's a material thing and not an experience that you're talking about. Because to me it sounds like you're trying to savor the experience with other people you love. I just wanted to know if it translated the same for a... Jonathan Wier (49:19) Yeah. no, I would rather she go out and blow the money on a purse. I'm just saying if she's holding onto the money waiting for a special occasion, which she doesn't identify, like if it was a vacation or something like that, she would have just said, well, I was saving the money for a vacation in Hawaii, which, know, mom always wanted to go Hawaii. So we're going to go for her and maybe scatter her ashes there or something. That'd be one thing, but that's not what she said. She said I was holding onto the money for a special occasion. Yeah. So she, they gave you one. Ayla Brown (49:48) Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Okay. You know what? New Year's Eve happens once a year. Jonathan Wier (50:03) Yep. Yeah. Which really isn't that it's it's kind of dumb when you think about it. It's not that special. January 1st happens once a year. You know, it also happens once a year. January 7th. Hey guys, it's January 8th, Eve. Let's celebrate. You can just make up any reason to celebrate anything. Ayla Brown (50:17) No. No, we can't anymore because we're about to do study hall and there's some bad news about study hall. Jonathan Wier (50:24) Okay. So here's some here's study hall. According to the Surgeon General, we might have to rethink the warning labels on alcohol. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy or maybe Vivek Murthy released a new advisory on Friday describing the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. Alcohol consumption is the third leading preventable cause of cancer in United States after tobacco and obesity. Research has proven that alcohol causes at least seven different types of cancer. Despite this being known for decades, a recently published study found that more than 60 % of Americans don't know that alcohol causes cancer. I find that insane. I find that insane. You didn't know that? Is that what you said? Ayla Brown (51:03) didn't know that. Which part? No, I thought that like alcohol causes you to, I mean, it's a toxin, alcohol is a toxin. So it can cause your body to fight that toxin. And when you've over-fought it for many years, obviously your body can break down, okay? I get all those things, but I didn't know that alcohol was causing, does it cause butt cancer? Like toe cancer, skin cancer? Like what kind of cancers are we? Jonathan Wier (51:30) Yeah, colorectal cancer. It doesn't cause skin cancer. It's esophageal. Basically, just go through all of the places. Just where does alcohol search here and ends there? Well, it can cause cancer anywhere that it's touching. It mutates DNA. It changes specific things in your body. And yeah, it absolutely can cause cancer. But here's the thing about it. It is responsible, according to this, for 200,000 Ayla Brown (51:37) anything that it touches. Jonathan Wier (51:57) cases of cancer a year. But Ayla Brown (51:59) Wow, and they can link it to alcohol? Now, how heavy are people drinking to get cancer? it like, like, do have to be an alcoholic? Jonathan Wier (52:01) Yeah, and they link it to alcohol. Whereas They say 3.5 drinks a day triples your risk of these types of cancers. Ayla Brown (52:17) I mean, honey, until seven days ago, you were drink. yeah, you were hit, man. Right. Jonathan Wier (52:17) per day. Oh, I was hitting that. Yeah. Well, only for the last couple of months. I wasn't like drinking all the time. Okay, first of all, 200,000 cases of cancer, but 20,000 deaths. Ayla Brown (52:33) Not bad odds. mean, the cancer, sounds like it's kind of curable. Jonathan Wier (52:34) sound that bad like I'm sorry Take that risk! I'm sorry, that's... I'm definitely getting... I'm definitely getting it now. I'm definitely, after saying that, into a microphone, live on our Facebook page or whatever. I'm definitely getting it now. I better schedule a colonoscopy right now. Just because I just tempted fate in the dumbest way possible. I'll take my chances, I'll keep drinking, and bring on the cancer. Idiot. Ayla Brown (52:44) You're definitely going to hell. you think you're gonna get butt cancer? You know? Yeah, that is the question. Like we are truly on Facebook live now it is evening time. I'm sure there are people that are doing dry January, but there's other people that are drinking. Knowing this now, I would love to hear in the comments, knowing that alcohol causes cancer, will you stop drinking or? will you continue to drink or maybe there's some variation in the middle where you won't do it all the time because that'll be in the back of your head and you'll be like, eh, maybe just on the weekends now. I think knowing this, am trying to do, I'm trying to put this body through the best purifying process that I can. Like I've stopped dying my hair. I only wear like natural makeup. I wear like organic clothes. Like it's really annoying. So, Jonathan Wier (53:34) Mm. Ayla Brown (53:56) Who am I? What a freaking hypocrite I am that I do all these things to eat naturally and clean and then I put alcohol in my body because it's so fun. And it does taste really good. If I get a good cocktail made at a bar by someone, not me, I'm like, dang, this is incredible. So I'm just curious to those who are watching right now, who's gonna actually give it up and who's not. Jonathan Wier (54:04) Yeah. It is. Yeah, they do. Yeah. Jessica says, I'll take my chances. Driving causes accidents. Eating junk food causes cavities and obesity. Everything in moderation. I agree. Okay, I have a couple things to say about this. One, she's absolutely right. Going outside is much, is just as likely to kill you from cancer as drinking because you know what kills 20,000 people a year? Skin cancer. Ayla Brown (54:31) Okay. Right. Jonathan Wier (54:47) So I don't see a G-damn warning label on the sun! Ayla Brown (54:51) Yeah, do you think they're actually gonna put warning labels on the alcohol and will it make a difference only for pregnant women? Jonathan Wier (54:55) I mean, there already are warning labels on alcohol. just not very big. They're just... Yeah. Well, no, no. It's... What does the warning label say now? According to the Surgeon General, should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy because of the risk of birth defect. And then consumption of alcoholic beverages impairs your ability to drive a car or operate machinery and may cause health problems. So they're going to update that to include three alcohol... also has been linked to seven different kinds of cancer. Not minimizing cancer. I'm saying that if going outside is just as responsible for cancer as alcohol is, then it just seems like it's inevitable. It just seems like there's really not much you can do. Ayla Brown (55:23) Wow. Yeah, no, I know you're not. know what you're saying though. You know what is inevitable? All of us dying at one point. Jonathan Wier (55:43) Right. That's not inevitable. yeah, yeah, you're all you're gonna die. Yeah. As my best friend Rod, who's had like seven heart attacks has said over and over again, like way too much. Like way too many times. I'm not here for a long time. I'm just here for a good time. Ayla Brown (55:46) No, it is. It's inevitable. We're all going to die, and so we might as well just... What? bless his heart. You know what? He should be paying on New Year's Eve. Rod should be opening up that damn wallet and paying the round for everyone at the bar because he loves to have a good time and clearly he wants to spend his money. Jonathan Wier (56:09) You He does. Except for he doesn't drink. Yeah. Seven Heart I never drink. Well he drinks. He as far as I know he has once had a bunch of Jaeger and hated it. And no I mean it's not that he's sober. He definitely is not a sober man. Ayla Brown (56:19) Wow, and he's had seven heart attacks? Jonathan Wier (56:33) He is a big stoner. Which also probably... Ayla Brown (56:35) What does this mean? Jessica also said also causes people to wear beer goggles. That might be worse. What does that mean? No idea what that is. Is it the one that you drink from the goggles? Like, and it has the straw that like on New Year's Eve and you just drink and it has the pitcher on the head and you put the beer in there and then you go beer goggles and it goes. Jonathan Wier (56:42) You know what beer goggles are? Yep, that's what it is. Yeah, that's what we're talking about. That's what those are. Ayla Brown (57:03) I'm actually being so legit serious right now. Jonathan Wier (57:05) I know you are. I know you are. And I'm debating letting you think that that's what people mean by beer goggles. And audience, what do you think? If we get three answers real quick from people saying I should explain what beer goggles are, I'll explain what beer goggles are. You have 10 seconds. One. I'll just start counting later. Wow, we're at an hour already. Ayla Brown (57:12) you Okay. Someone said Ayla. No it wasn't, it was Rebecca. Jonathan Wier (57:29) Yeah. well, there's Jessica again. Ayla Brown (57:35) my god, I love doing these 8pm lives. I think you should just tell me what a beer goggle is. Jonathan Wier (57:38) All right, here's what beer goggles are. Beer goggles are when you get drunk and you think somebody's more attractive than they are. You're seeing them through beer goggles. Ayla Brown (57:48) Remember when we used to play Urban Dictionary? It would have been really fun if someone said, what are beer goggles? And then I said what I said. Jonathan Wier (57:55) Yeah, because I thought everybody knew what beer goggles were. Especially somebody who spent seven years in Nashville, you would think there had been a bar you went to called Beer Goggles. Should be. Where everyone's just a little bit more attractive. All right. Well, I guess that's the show. Yeah, these usually go for an hour and they were really fun. Thanks for participating. It was great doing this live. Ayla Brown (58:05) No, but there should be. Where everyone only has to be a three to get in. Yeah! Jonathan Wier (58:21) Definitely going to do it again next Tuesday.
