Jonathan Wier (00:08) Hey, happy Tuesday, everybody. It's me, Jonathan. Ayla Brown (00:12) and me, Ayla, and is this our last Tuesday we're gonna do? Jonathan Wier (00:17) Yeah, actually starting next week, we're gonna start going live on a different day for the free show. What day are we doing Friday? Ayla Brown (00:27) We haven't really talked about that. I mean, we should probably figure that out, but yeah, yeah, yeah. I think because of your new work schedule, I know some of your days have kind of flip-flopped and stuff. So we're trying to find something that works for you and then me with the kids. So we actually might move from a Tuesday live at 1 p.m. to like a nighttime live, which I think actually might work better for people anyway, if they're. Jonathan Wier (00:31) We should probably forget that app before we just leave the people hanging. Yeah. Ayla Brown (00:54) just getting home, at least my kids are in bed, it works better for me, because I can just like sneak outside and be around and not have to super worry about them, because I have a monitor and all that stuff. So I think maybe like Thursday and Friday we could do the Patreon and the live show, maybe, I don't know, we'll find out. Jonathan Wier (01:11) think I think later in the day would be better when people come home, you know. Thursday. Okay. All right. That's fine. Today on the show, we're going to do group therapy. We have Jason, whose problem is that his wife has a New Year's resolution that she's already kind of testing out. Problem is, her New Year's resolution was that she wants to be more honest. And it's Ayla Brown (01:14) Yeah, well Fridays I'm going to start performing again, so maybe not Fridays. But we'll figure it out. Guys, it'll be fine. no. Jonathan Wier (01:40) It's not that she's being honest that's bothering Jason. It's that she's being a little too honest. That's bothering him. Is he just a wuss? Does he need to step it up a little bit buddy? Also, speaking of New Year's resolutions, I just want to talk about what our New Year's resolutions might be. If you have any little bit about that. We're also going to talk about how it's now official people are sending less Christmas cards this year than ever before. And I don't Ayla Brown (01:45) Always. Jonathan Wier (02:09) find that surprising, but it is a little sad. And just I want to talk about this weird week. What else, what else are going to talk about today, A-L-O-P-H? Ayla Brown (02:12) Yeah. We're going to talk in the mud just about all of the athlete break-ins that are happening. And I know none of us are like professional athletes, but for a moment, I think we should put ourselves in their shoes for a second and just think how scary this actually is, especially if, you know, they have families or you have a family too, and you're like, what do I do to protect them? So we'll kind of recap exactly what's going on and what the FBI is now saying about these break-ins. But I sure wouldn't want to be on a team anymore, or maybe I would, but I don't know. It's just like crazy what's going on with these, the break-ins and the thefts. Jonathan Wier (02:56) Yeah, I mean it's this ridiculous ring of people who know the athletes are out of town so they break into their house. It is a little surprising that they don't have better security at their houses, but whatever. We'll get to that in the mud. Right now, how you doing, Ayla? Ayla Brown (03:12) I am so much, I don't know if you can tell, I have a voice again. I am slowly feeling better each and every day. I feel like I'm getting up. I'm going through the motions, but I have a smile on my face now as opposed to just being extremely miserable. If you're just tuning in and watching, I had a severe ear infection that turned into sinusitis. That's a tough word to say. Sinusitis and I'm on. amoxicillin and I've just, still have like two more days left of this prescription, but it's definitely working and I just feel so much better. Yes. Jonathan Wier (03:49) It's good. Good. I actually have I I'm in like, I had some food poisoning thing, which has never happened to me before over the weekend. But other than that, I've just kind of been almost getting sick. Does that make any sense? It's the worst, where it just I wake up with like a scratchy throat, a little bit of congestion, and then it just goes away. It's like my immune system is like, No, no, no, I got this. And it's like, okay, well, then Ayla Brown (04:08) Yes, the work. Jonathan Wier (04:19) Settle it then buddy. Like don't just... You're politely asking them to leave the bar because they keep touching my wife's hair. I want you to kick their ass out of the bar! Ayla Brown (04:21) It did with food poisoning. I feel you on that. At least you didn't get it because every time, it's like clockwork. Every time I get a tickle in the throat, it's gonna go to the chest and then to the nose, then to the head. It's just like clockwork. So I would love to be in your position. We're almost like dabbled in it. And then it was like, nah, he's had too much McDonald's. His body's already really crappy. Like it would literally attack me with the Big Macs or the sodas that he eats. Yeah. Jonathan Wier (04:33) Mm-hmm. You know, it's like, no. Yeah, just it's like watching a movie and the scariest part is always like the buildup to the killer like sneaking up on him like they're walking and he's like That's what the sickness is like right now for me. It's just creeping up behind me. Yeah But that's the entire Ayla Brown (05:23) Could you imagine if that's how the South American gangs were with the professional athletes? They're like, I'm right behind you. Jonathan Wier (05:28) And they would get curbed. Are you kidding me? The people that they're ripping off? What do you think would happen if Travis Kelce was home while these little Bolivians are breaking into his house? He would pick one up and beat the other ones to death. He would be swinging one around like a club. Luka Donchik was another one. He's even bigger than Tra- he's like seven feet tall. He would pick- Ayla Brown (05:56) Yeah, but he's like, he's like a big teddy bear, Luca, you know, I just Jonathan Wier (05:59) Oh, wait, no, I was confusing Don chick with Yokech. Yokech. He's terrifying. Don. Yeah, Don chicks a big sweetheart. I want to talk about this. We are in the weirdest week of the year for most of us. Week between Christmas and New Year's. And even though I'm working now, I have a job, I'm still feeling like I've been dropped into some kind of time warp. What is this week? Is it Ayla Brown (06:07) Yeah. Jonathan Wier (06:30) Sunday? Is it Thursday? Does it matter? Nobody knows. Nobody cares. It's like the Twilight Zone. What? Yeah, what year is it? I don't know. That's the other thing. It's like I'm preparing for it to be 2025. So in my head, it's not 2024 anymore. But it's not 2025 yet. Ayla Brown (06:37) No one cares. No one cares. Well, I mean, technically it is tomorrow because today's Tuesday. So tonight's New Year's Eve, which means that you better get with the program because tomorrow it is 2025, whether you like it or not. Jonathan Wier (07:07) this is the only week of the year where adults experience what it's like to be toddlers again. Just wandering around the house aimlessly half naked, clutching a snack you don't even remember grabbing. So, yeah, hey, look at that, potatoes. and the days, every day feels like Saturday, except with the crushing existential dread of a Monday. Like it feels like a Saturday and a Monday altogether. Ayla Brown (07:35) Well, you kind of work in retail-ish now. I mean, I know you're in sales, but you're also part retail as well. So like, do you find that this time period in between Christmas and New Year's is actually great for business? Like, are you finding that you're staying busy? it is? Really? I see so many people shopping and spending money right now all the time. Jonathan Wier (07:38) Yeah. Thank you, Yeah. No, it's terrible. No, no. I mean, maybe it's just Maybe it's just what I maybe it's just what I sell. We've been dead. We've been dead all year. Not all year, but like pretty much all month. And I thought it'd pick up after Christmas. I mean, I did okay. Sunday. I did okay Sunday, but pretty much it's been dead. Like I Yeah. So I don't know. Ayla Brown (08:03) sting. Hmm. Jonathan Wier (08:23) There's also the social expectations, like texts from people who are like, hey, like you're gonna be in town. I get that a lot now that I'm in Kansas City, everybody expects me to just drop everything and go back to St. Louis. And I'm like, I can't. It's four and a half hours away and I live here now. If you want to see me, just drive over here. I can't go and see everyone else. I'm working. If you're, I'm off, I'm in town for the week. Great. Drive over here. Ayla Brown (08:35) Right. Jonathan Wier (08:50) do you want but I will meet you in Columbia, Missouri, which is halfway in between St. Louis and Kansas City. Nobody wants to do that either. Ayla Brown (08:57) No one wants to do that. And are these people single and they don't have children? Because I now realize how extremely insane and difficult it is to travel with two children. Like come to me, please. Because the days of me picking up and like going to you four and a half hours, I can't do it anymore. I'm sorry. Jonathan Wier (09:14) Not happening. Not happening. Yeah. You realize that people you might have thought like there's some people in your life that are selfish and you realize no actually it was selfish of me to expect them to drop everything and come all the way to me. One of them one of the people that I mentioned is not saying he's married but He and his wife spend a lot of time apart, which whatever, whatever works. I'm not judging it. I'm not judging it. But yeah, I just it's just such a weird week where it doesn't feel like anything is real right now. And I feel like all hazy and weird. I cannot wait for New Year's Eve tomorrow so we can just start the new year. And I'd be like, that's the day. It's the first of January 29th through 31st of December means nothing. Ayla Brown (09:40) No. Okay. Okay. No, it really shouldn't. It's almost like senior spring. I mean, it reminds me of that. I know you didn't have like your typical senior year college experience, but, right, but it is like that. You go through the thing where you're like, okay, I have one final over the next week and a half. Like, should I stay at school? Should I not? Should I study? Should I go to the parties? Like what's happening and what day is it? And am I going to graduate? Probably. So I should just. Jonathan Wier (10:16) have any college but yeah. Ayla Brown (10:37) Slide through. Jonathan Wier (10:37) Yeah. And maybe that's just what life is made up of. There's a lot of moments where you're in between stuff. So you just feel weird. That's like I've said that being between jobs is actually great. That implies that you know another job is going to start at some point. But being laid off sucks when you don't know. Because I'll be honest before I started the job that I had out here. But I knew I had the job. I was living it up. I was so happy. I was like, I got got two more weeks of this just freedom. Ayla Brown (11:09) Mmm. Good for you. Jonathan Wier (11:16) But when I was when I was laid off in 2022, didn't know it was being courted by a different bunch of different stations, none of which really got down on one knee for me or offered me anything substantial. The same one. Yeah, someone to let me go. Yeah, and then just just to break my heart again. Ayla Brown (11:31) And the one that did was the same one that let you go and then let you go again. It's just, gosh. Hey, I think now we can legally talk about them though. No, I wouldn't still, but I think legally we can. Jonathan Wier (11:46) they, yeah. Eh, probably. They probably aren't paying attention to begin with. Ayla Brown (11:50) I, we could write a book, just kidding. It would be a very short book, but it would be very powerful with its words. Jonathan Wier (11:57) Yeah, uh, I, I've honestly thought about it just cause like we, we led, we live very unique, weird lives about how weird it is to be at the, at a, at a point in an industry that is so destroyed and just so scattered that it doesn't matter how well you do. And in fact, at a certain point doing well hurts you. You want to only do OK. If you're doing great. Oh boy. No, no, no, no, no, we don't want that. That's going to cost us too much money. So unique experience. I don't think anybody. Ayla Brown (12:37) Yeah, I wonder if there's any other industries like that. I I can't either. And I'm thinking, okay, you would want an experienced pilot. Yeah, the more experience you have, probably the smoother the flight will be and more comfortable people will be in a bad situation if that happens. A lawyer, same thing, experience is great. And then yeah, with the radio thing, it's just like, if you have experience and you're really good at your job, Jonathan Wier (12:40) I can't think of any. Yeah. Ayla Brown (13:05) That's not guaranteed. And like you said, you get too good. We were number one in demographics for like months and months and months. And it's like, did not make a difference. They laid you off and then they even had the audacity to throw us a little champagne party when we got number one, remember? Down in the kitchen and it was during the pandemic and we had to like wear our masks. But then they're like, everyone cheers. And we're like, do we take, okay, what are the rules here? What stupid rules are we following? Jonathan Wier (13:14) Yeah. Then they laid me off. Yeah, I do. Yeah. Yeah. Ayla Brown (13:35) Anyways, so yeah, it's the very strange industry. A part of me, I know you say that you're done with it, but yesterday you did do a fill-in on a show and I'm just curious, are you actually done? Did it give you the butterflies? Were you happy doing it? Like, what was it like being back in a radio booth? Because I feel like you missed it and I listened to you and I thought you did such a great job. Jonathan Wier (14:05) It's, it's hard to describe because it's not that I miss it. But there's something about doing a radio show and there's like so much going on and there's like this pressure of it being live and then having to pay attention to the clock and commercial breaks and things like that, that I excel under. Like I just for whatever reason, That helps me lock in more than just about anything else. And I'm, I'm really good at it. But the problem is, I, I just, there's a trust issue right now, where it's like, I just don't, I don't know. I don't know. Like, if somebody came to me with a really, really good offer, Ayla Brown (14:52) Hmm. Jonathan Wier (15:00) I would consider going back. The problem is, I don't know if that's ever going to happen. And I'm more than happy to do some fill in work. And I'm more than happy to, you know, get my name back out there, especially locally, we're here in Kansas City, where I did so well. But I it's just, it was fun doing it. And the guys they did it with were great. And I was happy that they gave me the opportunity. But it's also like, Ayla Brown (15:31) It's a trust thing, I totally get that. It's like an abusive relationship where the guy keeps saying, I'm sorry, it won't happen again, but then it happens again. And you're like, do I actually let you back in? Because I don't trust you right now and I don't believe the words that you're saying. So am I gonna be the punk who ends up believing this again? And then to be just proven right all over again. I guess that's where your fear is. Jonathan Wier (15:32) Yeah. Yeah. Right. Right. Right. Right. Ayla Brown (16:00) you've been doing this a lot longer than me. And I feel like if someone came to me with an opportunity to stay locally here in New England as well, but it would have to be like, the right situation where I'm still around my family and making money. And it's not just a passion project. You and I working together is on purpose because we're choosing to, and we want to continue doing a podcast because Jonathan Wier (16:26) Right. Ayla Brown (16:30) Well, it's fun and we love it. Little bit of passion project, sure. But like for me to clock in and clock out at a company and they're only gonna pay basically nothing, I can't do that to my family. Like it needs to be a good situation. So I guess that's where I am right now. I'm not like no to the radio thing because I really did enjoy it when I was there, but it also just has to work for my lifestyle. Jonathan Wier (16:48) Right. Somebody has to figure it out. This is the problem with it. Somebody has to figure it out because right now the state of radio is collapsing where everybody, all the stations seem to be following the cues that iHeart started where it's like, well, let's just keep replacing local programming with syndication. And so we basically don't have any local programming anymore. And then go, why isn't anybody listening to the radio anymore? Why is everybody listening to these podcasts? Ayla Brown (17:01) Hmm. Mm. Jonathan Wier (17:25) Well, because you got rid of all the local talent. That's what people... Have you ever heard somebody talk about like their favorite local radio show? Their eyes light up. They get so excited. There was... I was working with a guy who was like, so you know, like, Steve and Tully, right? And I was like, I have no idea who Steve and Tully... And he's like, really? They were like number one in Houston for like 15 years. And I was like, no. He's like, man, I listened to them. Ayla Brown (17:38) Hmm. Jonathan Wier (17:53) every day, every morning, listen to them. They're there. They were the greatest. I'm like, I'm sure they were, but they, don't know who they are. And that's actually a good thing. Good for them. Like they, they, they stayed in their, their spot. They didn't get too big. They were able to ride that career out because if they had gotten big enough, then they probably would have been syndicated and then eventually gotten rid of. Yeah. Ayla Brown (18:03) Yeah. Absolutely. So look at us now. We're here together and speaking of New Year's because that is what is tomorrow, which is so crazy. You said we were going to talk about New Year's resolutions. Do you want to? Because I'm curious what yours is. Jonathan Wier (18:22) Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. So my New Year's resolution is that I want to be more intentional and locked in. Like I would like to, when I do things, do them with a more singular focus. I want to be focused like a laser or like a three-year-old trying to get into an iPad. I want to be locked in. Ayla Brown (18:54) That's beautiful. Jonathan Wier (18:56) Yes. Right. Ayla Brown (18:57) Locked in or locked out. Locked out with the intention of trying to get in. Jonathan Wier (19:03) I feel like because of what I've been through for the last couple of years, I've lost a little bit of focus when it comes to what I want to do and how I'm doing things. maybe it's a little bit of depression, but part of it is also like when I do things I want to have a goal in mind. I want to do them with the idea that this is why this matters. I'm not just wasting my time doing this. And I would like to do them as well as possible. I'm somebody who throughout my life, this is how things always go for me whenever I start any job. I'm terrible at it at first. And then I get amazingly good, like really good at it. The reason why is because those first couple of months, when I'm trying to figure it out, I'm beating myself up, I'm screaming internally, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so any little mistake that I make, I freak out about. And then it takes me a couple months to then be like, okay, I've got this figured out, I've got the basic structure down, and then suddenly I'm really good. But it takes me a couple months. So I've lost that a little bit. I've been more approaching things like, if I do this right, I'll do it right. I don't, don't know, whatever, who cares? What matters? Because of what we went through. If you were at a job where it honestly hurt you to be successful, then it would be hard for you to be intentional about what you're doing. Ayla Brown (20:21) Got it? reach, yeah, because you don't want to be too good at your job. And then you get programmed like over time that it just breaks you down. Jonathan Wier (20:47) Right. Then, no, we have to start paying them bonuses? Well, can't do that anymore. Yeah. Yeah. So that's it. Like a toddler trying to open an iPad. That is how I want to be. Yeah. Ayla Brown (21:01) I love that. Are you one of those people that will do better by making goal lists? Like daily lists, monthly, weekly sort of thing. Because I've heard that that does wonders to keeping people on track. Jonathan Wier (21:07) Yes. I used to be somebody who was obsessed with that. And you know that I've shown you like spreadsheets and stuff. I used to keep it for our ratings. I stopped doing that when I came back. I used to keep when I was here in Kansas City doing my evening show, I kept track of the ratings, but I also kept track of every podcast listen. So I would have had a spreadsheet that would show the trajectory and the growth of the podcast month over month. Ayla Brown (21:22) Mm-hmm. Yeah. Wow. Jonathan Wier (21:45) And then because of the way that that show was set up and I need to start doing it for this one, I could literally go into the podcast and see where people were listening and dropping out, listening and dropping me out. And then I would refocus the show based on that. I'd like listen to where people had dropped out. They're like, why did they drop out? because we started too much cross talk. We were talking over each other too much. I used to be obsessed with that kind of stuff. And honestly, I got, I got to a, I think I just got to a point in my life where was like, difference doesn't make. Ayla Brown (22:05) Yeah. Wow. Jonathan Wier (22:16) Because I worked so hard with the goal of getting into a top 10 market, and then I got to that top 10 market and they broke me. Ayla Brown (22:24) Well, let me just reiterate that there's a reason why people call projects passion projects. And maybe you'll find the passion again with our podcast, you know, and do those things because I, I think it would be really cool to know those things too. I mean, I don't, I'm not a numbers person. Like what you're talking about is so analytical and data-driven and just, I have no interest in that whatsoever, but I do have. more goals with like creative stuff with the podcast and working on that and trying to, you know, get more advertisers and allow this to grow in a obviously organic and natural way, but with a lot of intention too, because to anyone listening right now, like it takes a lot of work for schedules, for time and effort and just putting all this together. So I want it to be on purpose, purposeful. Jonathan Wier (23:23) Yeah, purposeful. Instead of just aimlessly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Ayla Brown (23:24) Yeah. So that's yeah, just like, Hey, how you doing? Like, what's going on with you this week? Like podcasts like that are great, but it's really the, the after effect of like, okay, we did the podcast today. What are we going to do now? How are we going to promote it? How are we going to reach those people that were so angry that we were fired from country one two five. And how do we get those people? Can I tell you something though? This is kind of crazy. And I, you are the data guy, but. I have seen so many people over the past month, because it's the holidays, I'm a little more out and about, and they've all asked me, hey, how's the podcast going? And these are people that are like photographers in media, people who work for Channel 5 that I saw at Disney on Ice. They all know that you and I have a podcast. And it makes me think like, okay, they know about it. Whether or not they're listening, I have no idea. But people know that you and I are still working together. And I think that that alone is so powerful. So it's almost like, how do you take those people and keep them coming back for more content? So I guess that's part of like my podcast goal with the Hangout, obviously. But I think my personal goal is to find a little bit more time for myself because I'm really feeling like pulled in a lot of different mom-only directions and wife-only directions and I feel like I'm losing a little bit of me. And I think a lot of young moms, like moms of young kids go through this. Jonathan Wier (24:58) Mm. So your goal is to be more selfish. Gotcha. Ayla Brown (25:08) Yeah, pretty much. Like yesterday, I went to my sister stayed at a spa in Plymouth for two nights without her husband and kids. And she just had like two nights to herself and she's like, Hey, like I have a pass to the spa if you want to come for a few hours. I went there. It's one of those places that you literally go to breakfast in your robe and slippers like everyone else around you is in their robe and slippers. It's just like so bougie. and so relaxing and I fell asleep in the relaxation room and I was just like, I'm not saying I need more of that because that's obviously an intense experience of relaxation and it's a spa and all that stuff is expensive. But like, I would love to be able to just have a couple hours to myself where I can like get stuff done without somebody climbing on top of me. And I'm not talking about my husband because that would be exciting. Jonathan Wier (26:02) Ha ha ha. Ayla Brown (26:03) I'm talking about my children. So shout out to all the moms who feel that way as well. But I think 2025, I've already spoken to Rob about this. Like I need a little bit more time for me. So he's starting to take Bear out to hockey on Monday and Fridays from seven to nine a.m. So they have like some boy time and they go to the rink and then I... Jonathan Wier (26:26) 7 to 9 a.m. They wake up at 6 to go to a hockey rink? Good God. Ayla Brown (26:33) You might forget that my kids are already awake. So basically my husband is just waking up to do this as well. Jonathan Wier (26:36) right. It's just yeah. And they probably your bear probably already has skates on. Yeah. Yeah. Ayla Brown (26:42) he does. He's unbelievable. And for Christmas, Rob bought me my own pair of skates and I went two days in a row. And there's hope, you guys. I don't know how to stop. Like, that's true. don't, like, I can go. we went, one day we went to a skating rink, like, where you just go in a circle and I'm like, okay, I'm going, I'm going. But like, if someone came right in front of me, I would not be able to stop. you know, so I'm just, I just kind of like glide over to the edge. And then we went into a pond up in New Hampshire that was frozen over, just me and Barrett and we like skated together too. So that was pretty cool. So New England. Jonathan Wier (27:24) I'm surprised the ice didn't break. So because he's a big kid. He's a very large child. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, I didn't that yet. That was obviously directed at you. Yeah, that's good. New Year's resolution. Take better care of yourself. Mine is that I just am tired of feeling listless. Let's talk about this. It's official. People have sent less Christmas cards this year than ever before. Ayla Brown (27:28) I know. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm a large mama too. So it's like, they're coming. Yeah. Jonathan Wier (27:53) And I just I need to get something out of the way real quick. Americans. This is the headline from the New York Post on this. Americans are receiving fewer Christmas cards and most of them could care less. Hey, Ryder, for the New York Post, it's you couldn't care less. Ayla Brown (28:13) my gosh. Wait, what did they say? Jonathan Wier (28:14) It's you couldn't care less. Could care less. Meaning that they do care. Because if you could care less, then it means you care a little bit. I could care less about that. But I care about it. No, it's couldn't care less. I don't know why that keeps getting people confused. But it shouldn't be happening for the New York Post. Anyway, six in 10 adults say they're receiving fewer Christmas cards and three quarters of them aren't bothered in the slightest, according to a new poll. Ayla Brown (28:22) Good point. Jonathan Wier (28:43) The study of 2000 US adults found 44 % hope this downward trend continues for the rest of the year. Three in 10 aren't planning to send a single card this year. I don't think that we did, but 35 % wish they didn't have to and feel the obligation to do so they so be sorry when they still receive them so they feel the obligation. Almost four in 10 don't think Christmas cards are as important as they used to be while 35 % feel they lack. Ayla Brown (28:51) to you. Jonathan Wier (29:13) sincerity. Yeah. And I, let me just get this out of way. Let me just say this. Who needs them? They're just passive aggressive ways to flex. Look at us. We went apple picking this fall. Apple picking. What did you do, Carol? Huh? What did you do? What? Ayla Brown (29:33) And Carol's like, I went to Hawaii and here's my proof card. Jonathan Wier (29:36) Yeah, here's my pictures. Yeah. With inflation and postage prices, it's also a financial decision. Do we pay the electric bill or do we let the neighbors know that we're still alive with a snowman card? Just send a text. Nothing says Merry Christmas better than a gif of a dancing elf. Done. And it's free. It's the thought that counts. And the thought is I can't afford stamps. Ayla Brown (29:56) done. I agree. Honestly, that's why we didn't even send wedding invitations in the mail. We texted. You got a text. That was literally our invitation. That wasn't just like a hey casuals, was on purpose. We didn't want to waste the money, which is how I feel about the Christmas cards. Honestly, I just threw mine away. Not mine, but like the ones that people sent to me yesterday because I was like, what do I do with these now? I just like, and I... Jonathan Wier (30:08) You emailed everybody? That's right. Yeah, I do remember that now. Yeah. Ayla Brown (30:32) I think it's really sweet when I open them and I see that it's usually their kids, right? And I'm like, they're so sweet. Like that's nice. And then I take it and I always have this internal battle. Do I throw it away now or do I just put it on top of the fridge until Christmas is over? And then I throw it away. And so that's exactly what I did this year. I waited and then I threw them away because what else do you do with them? And then Jonathan Wier (30:55) What you supposed to save him? I don't even save my kids art anymore. I'm supposed to save a card from my second cousin. Ayla Brown (31:02) or even just random people that you know in your life. Like if they were related to us, would feel a little, it's a lot of just like friends of friends and you know what I mean? Like we're getting so many. Jonathan Wier (31:11) my God. You know what I get? Every year I get a Chris's card from an optometrist that I went to like 15 years ago. I don't know how they keep tracking me down. I don't know how they keep finding me. Ayla Brown (31:22) How do they? That's unbelievable. Wait, are those South American gangs a part of it? They're just like... Yes. Jonathan Wier (31:30) Maybe that's what their real goal is just to get the data so they can give it to the optometrist so they can send you a time for your annual checkup. I got LASIK six years ago. I don't need a damn checkup. Ayla Brown (31:38) Yes! so crazy, honestly. That's wild. But yeah, you do get that. the accountant sends one and blah, Yeah, like I'm okay. I'm okay with people just kind of saving. I'm in a very like, reduce, reuse, recycle phase in my life right now where I am just like anti-waste. And I just see things that come to the house all the time and I'm just like, don't need it. Like we are just wasting as a society. Jonathan Wier (31:51) You countin' that just? Mm-hmm. Ayla Brown (32:12) so much time and money and resources to make these things and send them out. And it's just so not good for us. So why, why even do it? We have Instagram now, you guys, that's what Christmas cards used to be the flex. Like you said, now we have Instagram flex. You can just do that as your Christmas card. We will all see it. I promise. Jonathan Wier (32:30) Right. 90 % of the stuff you get in the mail and that's underselling it. It just goes in the trash. Like it's it's junk mail, it's stamps, it's coupons. It's Christmas cards from people you barely remember. And it's it's awful. And it's annoying and needs to stop. It just like people. I don't know, maybe maybe the post office needs those things to survive because they're the only government Ayla Brown (32:38) I Yeah. Takeout menus. Jonathan Wier (32:59) agency that actually needs to have income, the only one of all of them that actually needs to generate money. So maybe that's the reason why but I am so done with it. Like it just like Ayla Brown (33:12) Well then stop increasing the prices. Like the stamps are unaffordable. I sent the Cowboy Spirit DVD to one of our Patreon members, okay? And it's cheaper if you send it, it always has been in the past, if you send it media. So you can send CDs and DVDs as media mail and it's like significantly cheaper. I used to do that all the time when CDs were a big thing and it would be like $1.20 for a CD as opposed to Jonathan Wier (33:15) Yeah. Well, that's how they make money. Mm-hmm. No, I didn't know that. Didn't know that. Ayla Brown (33:50) $4.95 to send a DVD. Jonathan Wier (33:52) Locally too, right? It was like to somewhere in Massachusetts. Yeah. Ayla Brown (33:56) Yeah, it was like 30 minutes away and I'm just like, I wouldn't but I could have. I it's just this is my point is like, yeah, that's just everything is too expensive. So don't send Christmas cards. I love it in the moment, but I will admit that I end up just throwing it away as we all do. So I'm just speaking for the entire group here. Jonathan Wier (33:59) could have just driven there. Yeah, right. There's also like, there's a nice level between, I don't want the newsletter, I don't need the poem, I don't need, you know, the, I do miss my Aunt Julie, who was a wonderful, beautiful woman who died last December, right before Christmas. She used to write a newsletter for her family. She has five kids. So it was an extensive news, maybe it's six kids. God, I should count up my cousins. Anyway, but she would write that newsletter and it would rhyme and she, it was obvious she put a lot of thought into it. And that was sweet. And that was cute. And that was fine. But the ones that are obviously like chat GPT generated now, AI generated, those are like, I'm not getting through this. Like I could, I'll have Katie read this to me if I need to go to sleep. Also, don't, if you're gonna send a card, don't just say Merry Christmas. And then that's it. There needs to be somewhere in between. It's like, Merry Christmas. Been thinking about you. Hope you guys are enjoying the new house or hope the new babies. Fantastic. Yeah, make it a little personal. Otherwise, it's like, I want the appreciation for sending this out, but I don't want to put the effort in. Ayla Brown (35:27) Yeah, make it personal. a little bit. Jonathan Wier (36:46) Yeah. All right. Moving on. Let's do group therapy or whatever we're calling. What are we calling it on the show? Ayla Brown (36:47) I feel you on that. I like group there. I always liked group therapy. Let's, let's do it. Jonathan Wier (36:55) I always like group therapy too. All right, here it is. Hey guys, it's not even New Year's yet and I'm already drowning in my wife's resolution madness. She hasn't officially made one yet, but she's been testing out ideas like trying out personality changes to see which one fits. Spoiler alert, they don't. This year she decided to experiment with radical honesty, not the nice kind of honesty like, hey, maybe don't wear those socks with sandals. No, this is the... tear you down to the core kind of honesty. Case in point, yesterday, I probably told her I was thinking about joining a gym in January. And she laughed like full on belly laughed and said, you've been thinking about joining a gym for five years. Why don't you start by walking the dog more than once a week? but it gets better. This morning, I made pancakes for the family and she goes, these are fine, but they're not as good as my mom's because she uses real butter. Thanks, honey. I'm just trying to keep our kids alive here. Now I'm terrified of what's coming next. She said I'm just warming up before January 1st, meaning she's just now getting started. If this is the pregame, yeah, I don't think our marriage will survive the playoffs. How do I gently suggest that maybe she could resolve to do literally anything else? Yoga, being nicer to me, learning to lie a little bit. Ayla Brown (38:08) she's just warming up. This is the pregame. Jonathan Wier (38:24) Or am I just doomed to spend 2024 hearing every single thing I've done wrong since 2009? Help me, I'm desperate. Sincerely, Jason. Jason. So, here's what I'd say, Jason. Ayla Brown (38:34) Jason! Jonathan Wier (38:42) This is a disaster waiting to happen. And I get the idea and I support the idea of maybe needing to be more honest with people, but it's supposed to be good for relationship. That's the breaking point with honesty. When it starts to hurt the relationship, that's when you need to pull back. That's not honesty anymore. That's abuse. That's brutality. Ayla Brown (39:01) Wait, is it though abuse to just say that her mom makes better pancakes? That's not abusive, okay? That's honest. Jonathan Wier (39:12) There's a difference between being truthful and being cruel, and that borders the line on cruelty. Ayla Brown (39:12) Come on. It's pancakes. And maybe her moms are better because real butter is used. Jonathan Wier (39:18) It's not helpful. But it's not helpful to say that. He's not using real butter specifically because he said he wants to keep his kids alive. He was choosing the healthier option. Ayla Brown (39:33) There's no healthier option than real butter, but anyways, keep going. It's true. Jonathan Wier (39:36) my God. Okay, sure. So I just think you need to sit her down tonight and tell her that resolutions are about improving yourself, not destroying your partner. I think that's what you need to do. That's what it's about. It's resolutions are not about, hey, I want to do something that is going to hurt other people. I want to do something that is going to only benefit me. Resolutions are about improving yourself. It's about self-improvement. Just said the same thing twice. Maybe to cut down on that in the new year. Ayla Brown (40:15) I think that there's something underlying with her that he's not really privy to. And let me explain. When women have a very like, Jonathan Wier (40:23) Mm-hmm. Ayla Brown (40:29) strong stance on, I'm gonna speak up for myself, I'm gonna be honest. To me, that screams, okay, I've been submissive most of my life and I'm fed up. And this is a chance for me to get some authority back in my life by just using New Year's as an excuse. I wanna be more honest because that to me is saying, I haven't had a voice in this whole marriage and maybe this year will be different. Jonathan Wier (40:35) Yeah. Ayla Brown (40:59) And so maybe she's using it as a reason to say, the pancakes you made aren't as good as my mom's or the whole walking the dog thing is maybe because he doesn't need to waste money on a gym membership and he can walk the dog if he really wants to. But my point is I think that there's something going on with her that we don't really know about. Jonathan Wier (41:24) Okay, I think you're half right, but here's the thing, and I think that this is why you don't get this, because you get accused of this all the time, where you say stuff to people and it makes people upset, and you're like, I don't know what I said, I was just being honest. Yeah. Ayla Brown (41:39) Yes, I have that flaw, guess flaw. And then you can continue your thought because I agree with you. Jonathan Wier (41:44) Mm-hmm. Yep. No, I think you're continuing it right now, but go ahead. Ayla Brown (41:51) I have always been, my truth meter is very strong, whereas like I can't tell a lie. And so if someone asks me, for example, my husband does it all the time and I never, I internally struggle with this often. He'll send me a song. What are your thoughts? He'll then say. I've heard like 600 songs of his, right? So I think I have some data now to prove what songs I like and what songs I don't like. And then I'll say, it's just, don't really like it. I don't mesh with it. don't I don't connect with this subject at all. I think all of your songs are great, but it's just not the one for me. Jonathan Wier (42:22) Yeah. Mm-hmm. Ayla Brown (42:38) Well, what's wrong with it? Okay, well, I don't really like what you did in the bridge. And then he'll keep asking me questions until finally it seems like I'm mean about it, but you asked me what my thoughts were in the beginning. And then I say this to him all the time, do you want me to be your cheerleader or do you want me to be honest? If you want me to just say all of your songs are great, I will do that. But that's not what you want. Internally, it's not what he wants. Jonathan Wier (43:07) Well, so a couple of things. One, that's a very unique type of situation where he's asking your opinion about an artistic endeavor. people can be very sensitive and touchy about that. So I felt like your response to that, and I've been there when you've like in the studio with not his studio, but like in the radio studio before you've Ayla Brown (43:07) And I don't know if that's what any husband or wife wants in a relationship. Jonathan Wier (43:35) been sitting there like, what do you think? And I'm like, do you think that it's like, the vocals are too muddy on this or something? It's usually a song that you guys have done together. And I've like, yeah, I think like it needs a little bit of better EQ. So I've been there when that discussion's happened between you and Rob. I think you handle that very tactfully though. And I think that that's one of my problems with being honest with people sometimes is because my dad would do that where he would write a song and then spend a month recording it and then play it and might not sound great. And if I dared, dared to tell him what I really thought, he would lose it. And so it made me like hesitant to tell people what I thought about their music and stuff to a point. But if it's really bad, I can't hold back. But I think her problem is tact. This is this is what I was going to say for you. Ayla Brown (44:28) So I guess that's my point. Music is such a... Jonathan Wier (44:34) you sometimes lacked lack tact. Fucking hard to say. Sometimes sometimes you you it's not that you're saying something that's not true. And it's not that you're not being honest. It's that the way you're saying it can come off as hurtful because you're you're more putting more emphasis on saying that speaking your truth and being honest than you are on how you're expressing it. Right? Yeah. Ayla Brown (45:01) Absolutely. Yes. Jonathan Wier (45:03) So, right. So that's what I'm saying is Jason's wife's problem. He said, I'm thinking about joining the gym and she would... You You've been talking about joining the for five years fatty! Why don't you start walking the dog? Do that! That's the problem. Instead she could have said, oh, okay, well, if you actually do it, then I think that would be great. You've talked about joining the gym for five years, but if you actually do it, I think that would be great. I think that's exactly what you need to do. Ayla Brown (45:40) What if your husband asked for a gym membership for his birthday and his father-in-law got said gym membership for his birthday and he has not gone one time? Jonathan Wier (45:47) Mm-hmm. Ayla Brown (45:57) And then how about three years ago when he person said, I want to go to the gym. And he went and spent his own money on a gym membership and he went none. Jonathan Wier (46:05) Yeah. He didn't go, right. Ayla Brown (46:13) Okay, I'm talking about my husband. Obviously I bought him a Peloton. There's a 49.99 membership fee that comes out of my credit card every year for that Peloton that I got for him because he wanted it. And I have not seen him go on it in four years. A month. No, no. Per month. 39.99, 49.99 per month for the Peloton bike app. Jonathan Wier (46:14) Obviously. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, it's only $49 a year? Oh, no, you said a year. Okay. Per month, okay. Yeah. Per month. Probably done. That's insane. That's how much I spend for TV. Yeah. Ayla Brown (46:43) So my point is, maybe these conversations, there's two sides to every story. Maybe these conversations have already been happening in their marriage for the past 10, 15, 20 years. And at one point you just have to laugh about it because you've heard it before. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe. You see where I'm saying though? You get my drift a little bit. Jonathan Wier (47:01) Okay. I, yes, I get, I get what you're saying. And, you know, we're only hearing his point of view. So maybe she wasn't as mean about it as he's making it out to be. I just, I like, I'm going to land on this, that if your resolution is to be more honest, just make sure that you are applying that honesty with the proper amount of tact. so that you don't destroy your marriage. Like, I think that's it. That's it. And by the way, you, Ayla, very much like my wife, are not comfortable with lying. You don't like doing it. You don't like BSing people. You don't like deceiving people. And you also feel like you're important enough that your opinion matters. And once you start lying, Ayla Brown (47:34) I agree with that. Jonathan Wier (47:59) You're basically telling yourself my opinion doesn't matter. know, right? Katie's the same way. And so when I get a compliment from you or I get a compliment from my wife, it means more. Because like today when you're listening to the show and you did, I did that whole thing on the Chiefs player, DeAndre Hopkins, and you sound like, that was so nice. Like really? That wasn't sure exactly how that segment went. And then when you wrote me a really nice text about it, it really meant a lot. And then Katie. Ayla Brown (48:02) Cool. Yeah. Yep. Hmm. Jonathan Wier (48:26) texted me shortly after that. Yours is more explicit, hers said, that was really good. Yours is like, my God, that was so horrible. Point is, those meant so much more to me than they would if I asked somebody that I know is just gonna tell me it was good regardless. Which I tend to not ask those people how things went. Ayla Brown (48:48) was gonna say like, maybe your mom. Jonathan Wier (48:50) Yeah, my mom loves me so much. But that's the thing. I my mom loves me so much no matter what I do. She'd be like, oh, that was great. Like when you just started farting into the microphone for 20 minutes straight until they pulled you off air. Ayla Brown (48:56) That's what I mean. It's unbelievable. You're like, she's like, I created those parts. That was part me. That came out of me. Jonathan Wier (49:05) That little butthole was crammed in my womb! That's gonna be the title of the episode. That little butthole was created in my womb. All right, so that's where we're at on that. Let's do the mud. You wanted to talk about Travis Kelce Patrick Mahomes, and a bunch of other athletes having their homes broken into. This is a pandemic. Ayla Brown (49:31) A different type of pandemic. First it was the pandemic and now it's others. Yeah. So as you said, there are a number of athletes who have gotten their homes targeted and then broken into by South American gang. And it's gotten so bad. And let me just recap, but these athletes, you know, their schedule, right? You know, when they're going to be playing home, you know, when they're going to be playing away and any normal fan can kind of follow along with Jonathan Wier (49:33) Yeah. Ayla Brown (49:59) the social, especially if these guys are active on social media as well, and you know when they're out in the club, or you know when they're out to dinner with their family. take that, and if you have bad intentions, like this South American gang who is going around targeting these athletes, it's very easy to just, what they're doing is they're... Bypassing the Wi-Fi, like breaking into their homes, in and out of there, it's like they've almost like studied the blue, it sounds like the blueprints of these houses where they know exactly. Jonathan Wier (50:30) It's kind of, I have to say, it's kind of shocking that these athletes don't have better security. I'm sorry, but especially Ayla Brown (50:36) But what I'm saying is they're bypassing all security measures that are currently in place. Jonathan Wier (50:39) all the security. Yeah, but I'm saying like armed guards like Travis Kelce doesn't have people at his house protecting his stuff. He's got he's dating Taylor Swift. Anybody could just break into his Ayla Brown (50:51) But I don't think he knew that he was in danger like that. And no one does. right now, like, I don't, I don't know what the intentions are of people outside of my home. And like, I'm not even going to go through what I have for security, but I don't have armed guards, you know? So that being said, Luca Donchic is the most recent, I'm going off of this all by memory, by the way. He's the latest Jonathan Wier (50:55) Hmm. I just always assume it. Ayla Brown (51:21) victim who has been targeted and have he's had things stolen from him now. He's a professional basketball player, arguably the best in the league, by the way. And I did not believe that until I saw him play in person. And I was just like, because he looks like a big teddy bear. I mean, he looks like he doesn't even play basketball. His body type is a little pudgy. He's not cut. He's not like LeBron or like even Jason Tatum is huge, right? Luca is like, Jonathan Wier (51:29) He's very good. No, he's- Ayla Brown (51:51) Aww, hi! Jonathan Wier (51:52) I think some guys, it's there's a musculature underneath a layer of fat and the fat is almost protective. That's last year, it was really big. Patrick Mahomes was they took a picture of him without a shirt on after and he has he looked like honestly like he had the same body as me. Like it was dad bod. It did not. But he was like, come on, I've got two kids. Sorry that I but but Ayla Brown (52:06) I remember that. He looked dad bod. Yeah. You didn't look good. Yeah. Yeah Sorry! Jonathan Wier (52:22) Tom Brady was the same way. Tom Brady didn't have a great body and they painted Manning. It's if you doubt they weren't overweight, but they it helps you absorb some of the hits. Anyway, back to this. People breaking in their house. Ayla Brown (52:30) weren't cut. But anyway, anyways, back to Luca. He has been the most recent person who had their place broken into. had jewelry stolen and it's getting to the point now where the FBI has released a statement and I would like to read exactly what they're saying. FBI official says, quote, these homes are targeted for burglary due to the perception they may have high-end goods like designer handbags. jewelry, watches, and cash. While many burglaries occur while homes are unoccupied, some burglaries occur while residents are home. In these instances, individuals are encouraged to seek law enforcement help and avoid engaging with criminals as they may be armed or use violence if confronted. They're also saying, like I said before, that these organized theft groups are bypassing alarm systems. They're using Wi-Fi jammers to block Wi-Fi connections and disable devices. like that's that alone scares me. They're covering security cameras and they're covering like their identities with masks and stuff. So it's almost impossible to find out who they are, where they're going, etc. So a few thoughts on this. The first is a part of me is like the athletes have enough, you know, I mean if you're gonna steal I guess like Jonathan Wier (53:41) Cheers. Ayla Brown (53:58) They have plenty of things that would break my heart more if I found out that my neighbor next door was broken into because they left for work, you know what I mean? But secondly, and I think this is where I get really scared is... Jonathan Wier (54:04) Yeah. Right. Ayla Brown (54:15) the quote, some people are targeting, even if their families are home. So that alone is like, what do you do if you know that there's this gang that's targeting athletes and you're married to one? Do you live at your sister's for a little bit? Like, what do you do? Jonathan Wier (54:20) Yeah. Well... I mean, I yeah, obviously, I think the intent is to break into the house when no one's home so that you don't have a chance of getting caught. No complications. You don't have to do anything. But it has happened where somebody has been home when Joe Burroughs house for the quarterback for the Bengals. This house is broken into and this sports illustrated swimsuit model, which I didn't know they still did that. But swimsuit model was at his house and she called the cops. And what's interesting about that is That is not who he was reported to be dating. Ayla Brown (55:05) no. Jonathan Wier (55:06) Yeah, he was supposedly dating somebody else. Now they might have broken up and he just didn't publicize it. He has every right to do that. But that's how it came out that he was either cheating on this girl or was not dating her anymore. By the way, both of them first name Olivia. And I don't know why that's interesting or funny to me, but a common name for like 20 year olds, guess. Yeah. So he that's what happened. What bothers me about it other than yeah, your family might be home. Ayla Brown (55:23) Olivia is so basic. Yes. Jonathan Wier (55:37) is the stuff that they're taking. Because it's not just that they're taking cash. Kelce , when Travis Kelce 's house was broken into, he was robbed of $100,000 in jewelry, $20,000 in cash. He had a watch that has now since been recovered, but they also took the jersey from his first Super Bowl. Ayla Brown (55:39) Mm. Jonathan Wier (56:03) the the Super Bowl against right the 49ers in 2019 2020 and you're not getting that back and it's horrifying that because you can't you get money he can replace he makes $100,000 a game probably more than that. He's married dating. Let's just be honest. They're gonna be married. He's with Taylor Swift. He doesn't need money. He doesn't need cash. He can replace a watch. He cannot replace that Jersey cannot. Ayla Brown (56:04) which you can't get back. Totally, and he's dating Taylor Swift. Jonathan Wier (56:34) And that's that's what pisses me off with this is like just leave that stuff alone. There is a nice addendum to that, though. The other teammates on the Chiefs and his brother Jason and Patrick Mahomes handed him a box after team meeting at Christmas and he's asked to open it. Inside of the box was one hundred twenty thousand dollar collection of jerseys. They got Tom Brady. Ayla Brown (56:34) wanna. Jonathan Wier (57:02) Ray Lewis, Rob Gronkowski, Saquon Barkley, and Patrick Mahomes to donate game jerseys to them. Ayla Brown (57:11) That's really sweet, but none of them are his own, so screw it. Someone couldn't have bought back his own, we'll just find it on eBay. Jonathan Wier (57:12) Yeah. Not his own, you know, he apparently How the hell are they gonna get it? Where they need to... I mean, it's gonna be for sale somewhere and then maybe they can buy it back, but that's not... Who knows when that's gonna happen? Ayla Brown (57:23) for now. Can I play a very insensitive game with you right now? Okay, because it's just for fun. Thankfully no one has gotten hurt. That's why I'm doing this game. I'm going to give you an athlete, a very famous athlete, and you're going to pretend that you're robbing their house and you can only take one item. What is the item that you would take from? The first one is Usain Bolt. Jonathan Wier (57:56) you're saying bolt? mean, I would not rob, I would, I would rob. Ayla Brown (58:05) He's too fast, he would catch you, okay. Okay. But he's retired, isn't he? I mean, come on. Jonathan Wier (58:06) Yeah, I'm saying I wouldn't rob his house. You're saying are you trying to say like, would be the most what do think the most valuable thing to him is? It would be gold medals. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it'd be gold medals. Like, it would be these gold medals. Like, obviously, I wouldn't want to take them because I'm not an a hole. But if I was one of these a hole burglars out, that's what I'd be targeting. I'd be going after gold and silver medals. Ayla Brown (58:14) Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. It would be what? Mm-hmm. What about LeBron James? He's next. Jonathan Wier (58:32) I would take Brani. I just take it. Ayla Brown (58:34) He would take his son? It would be a hostage situation? You'd like, hey, you weren't good enough for the NBA. You went to the D-League, but come with me, you know? gosh. Jonathan Wier (58:44) Yeah, yeah, you're in the you're in the D-League buddy. Yeah Yeah, I would, I would dig Brody. Obviously he's the most valuable thing to LeBron cause he LeBron's on the Lakers just to play with the sun eventually. Ayla Brown (58:56) Yeah. I know, it's so true. What about Mike Tyson? What would you steal from him? Jonathan Wier (59:08) Well, I definitely wouldn't F with any of his pigeons. Apparently that's story. Somebody like killed his pigeons and that's what made him go into boxing. He kept pigeons. Yeah, he had a pigeon coop in Brooklyn growing up and somebody came for some reason, some a-hole gangster or something, killed his pigeons and that's what made him want to learn how to fight so he could track down who did it and beat the crap out of him. Ayla Brown (59:11) don't know that story is that. Are you kidding me? Was it Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber? Jonathan Wier (59:35) It might have been. But Jim Carrey didn't kill it, it was the gas man that killed the bird. Yeah. Mini bird. my god. So sad. Ayla Brown (59:38) Okay, I'm in the pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird. My god, that movie is so inappropriate. It's so inappropriate. Jonathan Wier (59:45) Oh my god. He sold a bird to a blind kid. A dead bird to a blind child. Anyway, uh, yeah, I guess that that's what I would take. okay. Ayla Brown (59:53) Okay, and last person, last person, if you were a burglar and you could only take one thing from this person, and that one is Tiger Woods. Jonathan Wier (1:00:09) I probably could take one of his master's jackets, but he got like 12 of them. Like, he so many of them, like, he wouldn't even notice they're missing. I would take the golf club that he probably has framed somewhere where his wife wrapped it around his neck, trying to kill him. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I didn't understand why people were so mad at him for cheating on his wife, by the way. People were like, I really lost respect for Tiger. Like, he's a rich athlete, of course he cheats on his wife. Ayla Brown (1:00:12) He's got so many. So many. Good one. That'd be good. Jonathan Wier (1:00:38) I'm not saying all of them do, but is it that shocking? No. It's like finding out a rockstar cheats on their wife. Ayla Brown (1:00:43) Do remember on the show we had that whole debate when Darius Rucker had said in an interview like, yeah, like everyone cheats on their spouse or whatever it was and Work Daddy Jim was like extremely adamant. It didn't matter if you were super famous or not super famous. If you were a country musician, you were cheating on your wife. Jonathan Wier (1:00:53) Yeah, said everybody's cheating. Well, he said, no, he said any famous person cheats. He said anybody with the opportunity cheats. And I said, no, that's not true. Because some people, I don't want to throw my because I'm certainly not famous, but I've been at enough of a level level of it that I've had some things offered to me on through the text line and things like that. And I would never act on that. Ayla Brown (1:01:07) anything and I was just like I don't think so either. I don't. Jonathan Wier (1:01:34) Like, that's just weird to me. Ayla Brown (1:01:38) weird. And also weird like if it was strictly on the text line like only from the hours of 6 to 10 a.m. and you like had a relationship with just one person on the text line. Jonathan Wier (1:01:38) Yeah, or through Facebook. Well, I used to not at obviously at our station, but at my station in Kansas City, I had co workers, not Rod, not Rebecca, but others that would basically use the text line like Bumble or a dating app. Yeah. Yeah. Right. I guess they didn't need to do that. Hey, find out if they have a meter before you have sex with them. Because if they do leave them alone. Ayla Brown (1:02:04) Yeah, well pre-bumble. I mean, yeah, you got to do what you got to do to get laid these days, I guess, right? No, I'm just kidding. I was just being silly. Jonathan Wier (1:02:18) Because I can't imagine you having sex with him is going to help the ratings. Ayla Brown (1:02:23) No one knows what that means when you say half a meter. Jonathan Wier (1:02:25) Yeah, I'm not gonna tell you either. Alright, so there's that. Is there anything else? I felt like we had something else we don't. No. Well, we're at an hour anyway. Yep. Ayla Brown (1:02:38) I don't think we do, but I am excited for the new year to everyone listening. Happy New Year's Eve. Please drive. Don't drink and drive. Be safe and create your resolutions and type them below. We would love to see what they are. Jonathan Wier (1:02:52) Yeah, absolutely. I would love to see some New Year's resolutions below so that we can revisit this in a year and see if we actually, you know, stuck to them. Right. I'm I hope that this time next year I weigh at least 20 less pounds than I do right now. Yeah. Bye. Ayla Brown (1:02:59) Hmm. Did none of them. same.
