The Woody Show episode from February 11, 2026 covered trending news including the Nancy Guthrie disappearance investigation, a school shooting in Canada, Super Bowl viewership records, Olympic medal updates, and a Norwegian skier's on-air confession. The show also discussed parental attitudes toward children swearing, job interview dynamics, and fastest-growing job skills in the AI era.
Insights
- Parents are increasingly accepting of children swearing in appropriate contexts, with 53% of surveyed parents comfortable with it when used situationally rather than excessively
- Job interview processes are fundamentally asymmetrical—candidates present idealized versions while employers use automated systems to filter applications, creating mutual distrust
- AI-related skills have become the fastest-growing job market demand, with AI video generation/editing up 300% and 'vibe coding' emerging as a new required competency
- Luxury experiences create irreversible lifestyle expectations—once experienced, people cannot return to lower-quality alternatives (laundry facilities, dishwashing, heating)
- Traditional networking and personal relationships remain the most effective hiring mechanism despite AI-driven resume screening systems

It's shocking the lack of communication. Oh, but you asked for communication. I did. That's great. That's giving me some anxiety about it. But you know what? Whatever. Is the speech written? It'll be fine. I'm not writing a speech because I don't really believe in writing something out like a word for word kind of thing. More like you have an idea of what you want to say. right and then you know speak from you know speak from the heart you can have some notes but like not that like because I tell you man people not word for word but I think notes is a good thing notes are fine although the people that I saw doing it like our friend big boy he did it for Gabriel Iglesias and he did a great job he just came up there and he was like you know just casual he was himself about how long was it it wasn't it wasn't very long like because they brought big boy up and then they had big boy he said a few words like you know and then he brought up somebody else and then that person had something to say about Gabe and then they brought somebody else up that person had something to say about Gabe and then it was time for the actual like you know whatever so pretty cool and of course like Gabriel you know got to speak but yeah you know it sucks though I ordered some new like just straight black jeans that were supposed to have been delivered yesterday and I even did the overnight delivery right Oh, no. Never arrived. Oh, no. That's a stressor right there. Mother effer. Because you've been worried about, what do I wear? Yeah. Yeah. Was that Amazon? No, it wasn't Amazon. Okay. Can I recommend the mall? Them don't fit right. You know what I mean? Them joints don't fit. Yeah, just off the shelf kind of thing. Just don't fit right. Off the shelf as far, because I always get my jeans for it. It's called The Perfect Jean NYC. It was like one of those things that got advertised through social media. got the jeans I wear every day. And they're great. Like they're really comfortable. Those flex fit things that are kind of like nylon almost? No, they're not. It's denim. But there is some stretch in the denim. It's good. It's like these gray jeans that I'm wearing right now. And they are great. I don't know what the hell happened, but I paid for the overnight thing. Weather? Yeah. I'm sure I'm going to get something from it. But yeah, well, joke's on you. Now I'm sending them right back. There you go. What are you going to wear though? That's the real question. I have like a, just a black button down, like stuff that I wear to, you know, other important things I'm supposed to go to. It's the one nice shirt that I own. I think you're right. That's your dressing up. Although that's the other thing. Noticing these, these other people who are doing this stuff, they weren't dressed super fancy. Oh really? Yeah. Yeah. That kind of took the pressure off. I just want this to be right for Joe. That's the biggest thing. Friend of ours, super nice guy, big moment in his life. I just, I just want it to be smooth. And he wants you to be you. Yeah. He doesn't want you in like some random outfit. Yeah. So perfect. Totally in my head. Great. Got me exactly how I normally am. Phones open. 877-44-WOODIY. You can hit us up with a text over to 2297. Here's a fun fact. 39% of men have no idea how to iron a shirt properly. Oh, God. See, I know how to iron a property. That would put me in that category. I think ironing is one of the most difficult things. See, that's why I brought this shirt. I brought it to the cleaner. So it would be all done proper. That's what I would do. Yeah. Ironing sucks. I mean, it's a pain in the ass with the sleeves and the collars, but it can be done. And buttons and everything. I don't think it's that big a deal. Oh, it's so hard. Have you seen this dumb thing? I keep seeing this advertised. You put the shirt on it and it inflates. Yeah. It's like a mannequin, essentially. Have you seen it? And it inflates, but it blows like warm air through it, so it takes the wrinkle out of it. But I'm thinking like, what a tedious process to like put the shirt on this stupid inflatable torso thing. Nah. I don't like it. Like one shirt at a time. Just get a steamer. There was something. I went to, oh man, where the hell was it? There was something where they were showing off, not a CES kind of thing, but there was like a, oh, I know what it was. It was at Disney World at Epcot. Okay. And they had this, um, this exhibition going on where you could see like appliances of the future. Oh, those are fun. Like some of the stuff that like GE and Whirlpool and all these different things they're working on for the home. And it's one thing, I don't know if they ever came out with it, but it was this appliance that goes in your closet and you could take stuff that you wanted the wrinkles out of and just hang it up in this thing and close the door. Oh, yeah, they have that. We're talking. Yeah. They have that? Yeah. That actually went. No, I don't know if there was like steam involved or if it was just like there was like heat. I forget what it's called, but I've seen it. Or something there. So you can just like, it goes. You just hang it and that's it? It gets installed. This thing gets installed as part of your closet. That I want. That I'll take. All right. And it's like put it in there. Oh, my God. That would be a dream. Our friends at CCL make one. They do? Dude, get one for the studio. I'll bring all my stuff in. This is years ago because I do hate ironing. Yeah, I'd rather instead of ironing stuff, I'll just throw it in the dryer. I'll get it nice and hot and I'll take it out of the dryer and then lay it flat and just use my hands to smooth it out. Good enough. That's it. Good enough. All right. 877-44-WOODIE. Text us over to 22987. More Woody shows next. Hang on. The Woody Show. Right back. What's up, podcast listeners? It's Menace. Do you remember when I walked 40 miles in one day and you watched it live on the internet? I did that with Mint Mobile. Yeah, every single phone that was streaming that day, I was using the Mint Mobile network. And the reason I did that is because I paid for every phone myself and I needed a reliable network, but also I didn't want to break the bank. You know you can get unlimited for 15 bucks a month. Look at your phone bill right now. And I'm sure maybe you might be paying for somebody else as well. And you might think, oh, it's just too hard to switch. No, it's not. You can easily do it online.

Just compare what you'll get for what you're paying now. MintMobile.com slash Woody. We're back. This is the Woody Show. I got the birthdays, the porno birthday coming up for you in just a few minutes. minutes. Oh, speaking of porno birthday, what was the thing that you had? Oh, yeah, Bonnie Blue is back, baby. Yeah, she's making more headlines because she claims she had unprotected sex with 400 men in one day. Is that a flex? Well, yeah. Check it out. Her flex is the new world record. And it was just the other day on February 7th at this big mansion in the UK. Men waited for like seven hours to quote unquote breed her. I imagine you're the last call guy. The cleanup guy. Oh my God. Yeah, she says the challenge was to completion rather than a numbers game. So it wasn't just like, you know, a dip and go. So that's why it was like seven hours long. See, that just shows you how gross and desperate guys are. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, women are as horny as men. No. One is. Guys are gross. Well, she's getting the money from her. Well, the previous record was only 65, dude. So she smoked Ariana Jolie from 2004. And I talked to some of these girls about this and they do full on like tests for these guys, but there are such a thing as false negatives and it just takes one. There you go. You'll never find it. So that was to completion, you said? Yeah. And she, she's talked about in the past that she's had like fertility struggles. So I think this was a tie in. You don't say. She's unable to get pregnant. Yeah. Well, this is just to make sure. It's like the guy, exactly. I forget what the service was, but the guy started the, um, uh, man, what was it? I forget what it was, but basically you can lock down your social security number. He would give out a social security number. Life lock. Yes. Was it life lock? One of those. Yeah. And the guy got burned hard because he gave out a social security number. People still were able to mess with him. I don't know if that was the same guy. Whatever it was. I think it was. LifeLock founder is Benedy. He was stolen 13 times. Well, she's double raw dog daring these guys not to get her pregnant. So we'll get to the birthdays. Porn on birthday here in a second. So this Twitch streamer, I don't know who this is. Aiden Ross. Oh, no, he's a kick streamer, not Twitch. Okay, well, whatever. He bought the Breaking Bad house, apparently. Oh. Because remember, they were asking like $4 million. $4 million. And then it came down to $400,000. I have no idea because it didn't mention how much he paid for it. Well, in the neighborhood of that. Yeah. Apparently. Apparently. Apparently. His idea is to do kind of what the Christmas story house guy did and make it like a one for one. Right. Replica. Yeah. Okay. Inside and out. Like what you see on the show. So depressing looking in that house. So Brad Pitt's character, Cliff Booth, from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which I never watched. It was all right. But that's hella long, right? It's very long. It's long, and you thought it was about the Manson murders, but kind of not really. Yeah, he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for that role. Well, he's going to be in the sequel for Netflix, and he is reviving his part as the stuntman in The Adventures of Cliff Booth. Okay. That's what they're calling it. Check that out. So you guys know that song, American Pie, Bye Bye Miss American Pie. Don McLean. All right, is this gross? Don McLean, who's the singer of that song. He's 80 years old. Gross. That's so old. He is celebrating his 10th anniversary with his girlfriend, who's 31. Whoa. Wait a second. Let me do the math on that. I support it. That's high five, bro. You support it? Oh, yeah. I would date an 80-year-old man. You would? Yeah. What's his name? Don McLean. You have to have full relationship. Yeah, you have to be in it. Not just companionship, like actual intercourse. Yeah, I'd do it. Really? I don't even know what he looks like. I don't know what he looked like back in his heyday. I mean, for 80, he's not terrible, but he's certainly not 31. He's not hot at all. Don McLean, 20, 26. 31, though. Greg already knows the net worth. What is it? No, I haven't even looked at it. And it's not so much 80 and 31, which is bad, but it's 70 and 20. You would be with this guy? Really? She likes old balls, man. She really does. I'm super into older men. But how much older? The dude's 80. That's a little old for me. I would prefer like 50 or 60. Yeah, but his bank account's like 80 million. Right. That makes him pretty hot. So you're looking for like a 50 ideally it'd be what, a 50 some year old dude? I would love like 57. 57. Yeah, like 62. Okay. Before the 57-year-olds start texting in, what would be their minimum yearly salary you would require? Morgan, be honest. Well, my first instinct is to say I don't care, but I do care now. Of course you do. So let's be honest. Not a loser. Yeah, just not a loser. So what number is that? So it doesn't have to be rich. Like 200K? Oh, Morgan. Is that enough? No. That's a ton. That's a lot to me. Wait, you mean just like of all of his earnings? Like he probably has kids per year. Oh, okay. I was like, oh, Morgan, you're not going to survive. I would prefer for your kids to be grown and like doing their own thing. You stepmom. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, age is just a number, right? It is very true. Love is love. That's what Morgan's been trying to say. All right. Time for your birthdays. Go show it. It's your birthday. We're going to party like it's your birthday.

And that's your porno birthday, your celebrity birthdays. And that is a Wednesday morning look at what's happening around the world of entertainment here on The Woody Show. This is The Woody Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. Hey, y'all. In the round of entertainment stuff, we were talking about that dude, whatever he is, he's an influencer of some kind, streamer of some kind. What's his name? Aiden Ross. He's big in the streaming community. All right, well, he apparently bought the Breaking Bad house. Okay. So Walter White's house from the show. Well, the one that was used for the show. It's been on sale. He bought it. But now there's something else involving Breaking Bad. a new study finding that the Breaking Bad effect is very real. Have you heard about this? No, and I've seen it seven times straight through. Okay, it's the Breaking Bad effect. So researchers looking at data from close to 400,000 people who had been diagnosed with cancer between 1980 and 2018. And then they linked up those records with criminal registries. Oh, interesting. So did get diagnosed. They'd be getting diagnosed. And they got into the world of crime? Yeah, then all of a sudden they just start crying, like Walter White, you know, like, why not? He was fine until he realized that he was dying of cancer and then he wanted to set up his family. And so he took his chemistry skills and started making the blue stuff, right? Anyway, according to the numbers, 14% of people with cancer committed crimes within two years of being diagnosed. Most of them first time lawbreakers. The diagnosis acts as a negative turning point in their life. And so during the first year, most of those 14% don't commit any crimes because, you know, just the initial shock of the cancer diagnosis is still weighing on them. But then once that shock wears off in year two, that's when the crimen starts. Sweet. Really? Is it like, what does it matter anymore? Yeah, probably. Maybe you need, like you're desperate for money for treatments. I know a guy who did that with his mom. His mom had terminal cancer. They just ran up her credit card bills. Knowing damn well they weren't paying. Knowing damn well. She had no estate that the credit card company could go after. and then he told everybody about it after the statute of limitations. Yeah, what a cool guy. Upstanding. Doug Stanhope, he's a comedian. Oh, he did that? He wrote about it in his book. Oh, really? Is that real? Yeah, well, it was according to him. Huh. Wow. I mean, I know Doug Stanhope. That sounds about right. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Do you not get the debt when your parents die? They don't get on your skin? Yeah, I thought they did. If you don't get it, assume if there's no estate. Yeah, they'll take it out of the estate. The credit card company will go after your house or whatever, your inheritance. But if there is none of that to speak of, they're SOL. What was the story? I mean, it dies with you if that's the case. Greg, what was the story that you told? Was it about somebody that you knew? Who was about to file for bankruptcy. Yes. And so they did the same thing where they're like, oh, I know damn well in about whatever, two weeks, I'm going to file for bankruptcy. So they did the same thing. Ran up the credit cards, got flat screen TVs, got this, got a new washer and dryer. But how do you keep that stuff? And then they filed for bankruptcy and apparently kept all that crap. Well, because it's such a pain. If you're going to go get a $500, whatever. Yeah, what are they going to do? Turn around, sell it, see what they can get for the time and energy they will spend to resell the washer and dryer that you bought. Right. To try to recoup any of their money. I mean, that's just not worth it. I bet that's rampant, too. Oh, yeah. Everywhere. People are scumpags, man. They are. Yeah. And how does that kind of stuff not come around to those people? You never hear about karma coming around. Yeah. on that kind of stuff. Yeah. But I think with the cancer thing, if there was a diagnosis, I would do less criming and more just reckless eating. Oh, yeah. Reckless. Sex. I would probably take up smoking again. Ecstasy. Might as well. See if you can beat the cancer to the finish line. Yeah, drink at like 10 in the morning. The Woody Show.

Well, it's day 11 in the search for Nancy Guthrie, and police thought they might have been catching some breaks. Yesterday, the FBI released doorbell camera footage of an armed guy at Nancy's house the night she disappeared. the person seen walking up to the door in full mask and gloves messing with the camera they also had a full backpack on and a gun holstered in the front of their pants then last night cops announced that they brought a person in for questioning after a traffic stop and they searched a place associated with that guy but that dude since has been released and in an interview he said he's just a door dash driver and that he was effing shocked to be caught up in this investigation yeah he's like it ain't me but i hope they catch him yeah he was yeah like it was like live news what were you shocked? F yeah! He sounded like a total stoner. Am I missing something or why did it take so long to release that footage of the masked man? Great question. She did not have a subscription to recording. Yeah, that's true. So they still record it? Interesting. But that mask is a thing of nightmares. They have access. Of course it's all being recorded. You just don't have access unless you pay for it. So they have to get the subpoena or whatever. Well, meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie posted the pictures of the masked person on her Instagram saying, we believe she's still alive. Bring her home. She added a second post that said, someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home. Seemed like they had a lot of layers on though. Yeah. If you look at it, even on their face. Well, there was some guy who people there in town thought was the guy because like, I guess he's got the same eyes and whatever. He's always around delivering stuff around the area and falsely accused. Yeah. That sucks. I felt bad for that dude. Yeah. So if I've done sexy things in front of the ring doorbell, are they watching it? Well, they have it. They have it. They do have it. Yeah, it's recorded. That is an excellent question because, Greg, we've done some pool things. See? Oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. Someone's getting a free show. Deal with that later. Ten people are dead and another 25 injured in a school shooting that happened in Canada yesterday. The incident happened in the town of Tumblr Ridge, British Columbia. It's a small school, only about 175 students. When people arrived, when police arrived, six people were dead. One died on the way to the hospital. Two more people were found at a house that's connected to the attack and the shooter's dead. So that's 10. Police also arrested a woman who says they say is connected with the shooting, but we don't know the motives. The last school shooting of this scale in Canada, though, that was 1989 when some psycho murdered 14 women in Montreal. and the numbers are in for the Super Bowl and the halftime show. And it's safe to say that both were pretty much the most ever watched. NBC averaged 125 million U.S. viewers during the game, which makes that the second most watched TV broadcast in history, only behind last year's Super Bowl, which I'm still shocked out thinking about how boring everyone said it was. People really just wanted to see this boring game. Wait, so that beat out MASH or whatever it was? That's what I'm saying. Because there were four channels. Exactly. You didn't have a choice. You had no choice. Yeah, exactly. And I thought that's why those old numbers were always unbeatable, because now there's so much. People have more TVs. The number also meant that it was the most watched broadcast in the 100-year history of NBC. The halftime show with Bad Bunny, that drew 128 million viewers, which is more than the actual game. It's not the most watched halftime show, though. It's slightly down from Kendrick Lamar's last year. and good enough for fourth on the list behind Kendrick, Michael Jackson, and Usher. Yeah, okay. So initially there were reports coming out. It was the most watched halftime show ever. And I'm like, just based on how politicized the thing became, there was no way that was true. Yeah, because people were turning it off just in protest. Like Kendrick Lamar, whether you liked him or hate him, it wasn't politicized. It was just like, you know, they're one of those. What's he going to say about Drake? It was politicized and it was beef. So you also have maybe a candidate factor of extra viewers. Yeah. Drake fans. Well, the U.S. is moving up in Olympic medal race after earning three more medals yesterday. The mixed doubles curling team finished just short of a gold medal, losing to Sweden in the match. But they did get the silver. And the U.S. also took home the bronze in the women's single luge and took home bronze for women's team combined alpine skiing. And looking at the medal count, Norway leads the pack with 12 medals. Italy in second with 11. Japan in third with eight. And the U.S. sits at number four with seven. And we've got to talk about this dude, Sterla Logride, the Norwegian skier. He was being interviewed at the Olympics after- His name is Logride? Logride, Logride, Logride. Logride? I recall if his name was Logride. Logride. After winning a bronze medal, when he suddenly broke down in tears then totally unprompted confessed to cheating on his girlfriend in the middle of the interview in this emotional plea to get her back we play it but it not in english he started by thanking his family and his supporters but went on to say six months ago i met the love of my life the world's most beautiful sweetest person so you cheated on her and three months ago i made the biggest mistake of my life and cheated on her he went on to say that uh that was all he's been thinking about for the past week and that's been the worst week of his life. Happy Olympics. Now his ex, who wants to remain anonymous, she is speaking out. She did give an interview and said the cheating is hard to forgive even after a declaration of love in front of the whole world. Nah, dog. Yeah, but ladies, did you like that? It was a turnoff for me. It's icky. It made him look like a pussy. Like a little simp. Yeah. Yeah. Like, focus on your sport. And also, six months in, like, okay, relax. I think, like, relax. Like, he cheated on her halfway through the relationship. It was only six months anyways. Well, that was my thing, too. Aren't we really that heartbroken right now? Yeah, you're dating. You're not in a relationship. Sounds like a vagina to me. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Of course she's staying anonymous. Embarrassing. To be related to this dude or connected in any way. And finally, let's meet a 12-year-old in Dallas who is definitely smarter than CBass. He just said- No, actually. Actually, I don't know how 12-year-old is. Actually. It's graded on a curve. Yeah. He just set a new Guinness World Record for being the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion. Okay. Yeah, Aidan McMillan is a seventh grader and had been working on it as a side project, a little side gig for four years. So do the math on that one when he started. And here he is on the local news talking about his success. I love the project, but I also kind of hated it. It doesn't make me jump higher. It doesn't make me write faster. It doesn't do anything for me, but in the grand scheme of things, like fusion as a whole, in my opinion, it's the energy of the future. When you hear a kid like this, this kid's 12. He kind of sounds like he's older. So I have two kids, the youngest one being 13. If any of them just used in the grand scheme of things, I'd be impressed. Just using like sounding like... At the 30,000 foot view. Yeah, without something being cringe or bruh. Yeah, totally. This kid's doing fusion in the grand scheme of things? For me, but in the grand scheme of things, like fusion as a whole, in my opinion, it's the energy of the future. There were some alarm bells with my mom. Yes. She was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, take a step back. Tell me exactly what could go wrong. And kind of tearing up about it because it was like, it's hard to describe. It's the end of like a long, long journey. Okay. Wow. Vis-a-vis. 12 years old. Tier 2-4. Apropos to my theorem. That's what's going on, Woody. Thank you very much, Gina Grad. We're going to play that game. Can you get back through? All right. After the break. Now, we need somebody to be the person who's going to try to get back through. Right. Now, it's a couple different things going on here. A couple different ways to win a prize. One, you could be this person. So call in 877-44-WOODIE. We'll get somebody set up. It'll be that person's job when we hang up to get back through in the time given. Okay. So say five minutes. Right. Right. Someone's got to get through in five minutes. Now, everybody else, not this person, your job is to try to C block. Yeah. And tie up the phone lines. We got 10 phone lines that come in here. So, you know. Yeah. You can keep them out. We need everybody to just keep calling. Your job is to try to keep them out. and at the end of the a lot of time if you're the person who's on the line with us and the other person hasn't gotten through you'll win the prize. Sweet. Yeah. So someone's winning a prize. Love that. Someone will win a prize. Whether it's the person initially trying to get back through or the person who just happened to be on the line at the right time. Yeah. Okay. Now the wrinkle that I'm I'm going to introduce into this is that I'm going to give everybody a question. So instead of just random ass questions Right. It's one question. Right. So I'll ask you something specific. Okay. All right. And we'll figure out. We're going to ask around the room here. We'll come up with whatever that question is. So it's the same question for everybody. Yeah, yeah. So almost like a question of the day. Okay. I like that. Or something like that. Okay. And then we can do that game. We'll give away a prize. 877-44-WODIY. Can you get back through one of radio's dumbest games? 877-44-WODIY. We're playing next. Hang on. The Woody Show. So can you get back through? Let's discuss the question. So this is the new wrinkle. The way it works is we get somebody on the line. We've given them a password. Right. So when they try to get back through, we can tell if it's the real person or someone who's just trying to get one over on us. They have, say, five minutes to get back through. If they can do that, they're going to win a prize. Now, everybody else wins you. I have a job. Who's not our contestant. Everybody else, your job is to call in 877-44-WOODY and try to keep that person from being able to get through. Tie up all 10 lines so they can't get through. Now, if you are the last person on the line when the time expires that we've determined, you will be the winner. And you're going to get the prize. Yeah. Nice. All right. Now, I decided to add the wrinkle of the question to give it a little bit more structure. Uh-huh. You know. So the question is this. What is a luxury you can never go back from? Like once you've experienced it. So like I've said a million times, once you live in a place where you have laundry in your apartment. Like where you don't have to take yourself down to a laundry facility or a laundromat somewhere. Yeah, right. Exactly. Once you've given up the quarter life, there's no going back. That's a good one. Yeah. Mine is dishwasher. Dishwasher. I can't live. You just got your first dishwasher. I was literally a pioneer woman for seven years. On a washboard. Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, and again, it's whatever it is for you. There's no wrong answer here, but like, what is a luxury you can never come back from once you've experienced it? You can never go back. I thought this would be a wrong answer, but I would say hot water because remember I was telling you i was living in a studio apartment with like two other guys when we're working in radio coming up our water heater did not work so we had hot scolding hot water for maybe a minute and a half minute at most and then it was freezing cold water and i lived like that for probably three years oh my god yeah i'd get sick it was the worst and um and you know me i like taking like three showers a day so a hot water and i to to this day like i have like the hot i said it to the hottest every single shower that i take okay uh sharing walls oh i hated living underneath people side by side i can't stand hearing somebody else's noise can't take it so i'll never go back to sharing walls. All right. Sammy? Parking in the garage. So number one, having a garage, not just a carport or something like that. And also, not having it as storage, parking in it. All right. Greg, what's yours? Yeah, Greg's gonna finish. I told you. Laundry. Oh, the laundry, yeah. Yeah, having laundry, like not having to gather everything, bring it down. And dragging that duffel bag thing. Although, man, when you have just a ton of it as opposed to spending all day doing it, it is convenient. And it all done at once. It is convenient. Like, if you get back on a trip, like the whole family's been on a trip, you know, bringing that down and doing it all at once. Oh, yeah. Doing the fluff and fold. Yeah. Because otherwise you're spending all damn day doing it. Yeah. All right. So that's the question. You want to keep that person from getting back through and you're going to be asked that question. So what's a luxury for you that you can never come back from? 877-44-WOODY. Now let's meet our contestant for this round of, can you get back through and say hi to Daniel. Hey, Daniel. Daniel. Daniel. What's up? What's up? What's up? All right. So, Daniel, we'll ask you the question. What is the luxury you can never come back from once you've experienced it? To be honest, it's got to be the heater. You know, the warmth. I can't go through the cold sometimes. Did you live in a place that didn't have a heater? No, just one time it broke, and we were just stuck. And then you really know. Yeah, it's kind of like Menace's hot water heater problem. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, basically. You had a hot water heater. It just didn't work. It didn't work at all. It's like you lived in a place that didn't have a hot water heater. Which is illegal. Or in your case, a heater. I have family members that refuse to turn on the heater ever. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I have those. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Daniel. Well, you're going to have, what do you want to set it at? Five minutes? Yeah. Is that enough? That's fair. Okay, so we're going to set the clock at five minutes. You have five minutes to get back through. Now, we had a password. Did Morgan, don't say what it is out loud, but did Morgan give you the password? Yes, she did. She did. I wanted to. Okay. All right. So he has the password. We have five minutes on the clock. All right. So, Daniel, the time will start. Good luck. When I hang up. Are you ready? I'm ready. I'm scared but ready. All right. Everybody else, 877-44-WOODIY. That's 877-44-WOODIY. And time is on.

Woody Show, who is this? It's Daniel. It's Daniel? The Daniel? Daniel? No way. It does sound like him. It does. He sounds happy. Daniel, what is the password? Urethra. Urethra? Urethra. Urethra? Urethra? Like your P-tube. The lines are full. That's crazy. It's Daniel, everybody. I'm not sure if that's... It's great news for Daniel. I'm not sure that's great news for us. No, that's terrible news for us. Because the lines have been smoking. Can we give another prize? What's that? Can we give another prize? We can get some other answers. Okay. That's crazy. I mean, the lines are crazy full. He did it in two minutes. Changed the game to can you get back through twice? Yeah. The last time the person didn't get through. All right, Daniel, hang on one second, okay? Wow. He's like... Daniel, hold on. Actually, you know what? Did he have like four phones? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Everybody wait. Wait now. All right, here's what we're going to do. Okay. All right. The lines are still going crazy. So, Daniel, I'm going to hang up on you again. You're going to get a prize. All right. Okay. Okay. We're going to set you up. Don't worry about it. Just for funsy, because you're so good at this. We're going to see if you can do it again. Ooh. Ooh. All right. Because you have people all the time, like, every time you guys do a contest, I can never get through. Uh-huh. Most people. And then you hear other people who just, for whatever reason, man, they're like, oh, yeah, so. I win all the time. Yeah, I win all the time. Yeah. Lucky. What's that like? Yeah. People are just born lucky like that. All right, so Daniel, again, Morgan's going to set you up with a different password. Get the password. Whatever Morgan wants, Sammy. Just have Morgan come up with something. Okay. And Daniel, I'm going to put you on hold while she gives you the password. All right, so Morgan, give Daniel the password. Same question, though. What's a luxury you can never come back from once you've experienced it? Two minutes. Yeah. Damn, Daniel. I don't get it. Yeah, that's pretty. Oh, yeah. What's the damn Daniel thing? Damn Daniel. Oh, yeah, it was. Damn Daniel. Damn Daniel. Damn Daniel. Look at them vans. Damn Daniel. That's right. Wow. Talk about something I haven't thought about in a decade. And I remember the phrase. I don't remember the context. Yeah. Damn Daniel. All right, Morgan, did you give him his password? It hung up on him, so. Oh, well, it hung up on him. Well, he knows what to do. Yeah, but I did write down his phone number, so if he calls back, we can cross-referred. All right, here. How about this? and give him a password. Let's take the stupid break because Sammy's about to hold up her stupid sign. I see her. She's twitching. Yeah. All right, so we'll take the break. We'll come back with another round. Okay. We'll get a hold of Daniel. Yes. Okay, and then we'll set him up with the password. Do the same thing. Same question. What's a luxury you can never come back from once you've experienced it? 877-44-WOODIY. More Woody Show next. The Woody Show. Back in a bit. Woody, Woody, Woody, Woody. The Woody Show. All right, well, I think we're set up. So, we can now listen to your podcast. The question is still the same question. What is a luxury that you can never go back once you've experienced it? So, you know, Sammy mentioned having a garage. Yeah. As opposed to like a carport. Some person's designated parking space. Yeah. It's a big one. Yeah. Cheese is the best. Mine was having laundry inside of, you know, your living space. You don't have to take your laundry out of your own place to go get the laundry done. Yeah. Things like that. Oh, dude, I would agree with this one. A bidet toilet. Oh, yeah. Like a butt-washing toilet seat. It's a good one. I've yet to experience that. There's nothing else like it. By the way, Greg, I did see Costco sells one. Do they? That you don't need to have plugged in. It's like you have to do batteries and stuff like that. I would probably do that. You've got to charge it? I did see that in the aisle, but I didn't take a closer look at it. I think it's for people, you know, you're in an apartment, and you're not going to have an electrician come in and put an outlet in there. That doesn't exist. You're not going to go through all that. I saw the aisle. They had like three different ones, right? I just saw the one. It was one of these like Instagram accounts that said, oh, check this out. So it's all in one piece, like the toilet slash bidet thing. No, it's the seat. It's the top. Oh, okay. You take your seat off. You put this new bidet seat on. You hook it up. You have to hook it up to the water supply. That's easy. That's super easy. Right. Unless you're sea bass. Yeah. And then it's got the power through the batteries. Okay. And Greg, it's delightful. Is it? Oh, it's so great. The butt-washing toilet seat is fantastic. All right, so we have Daniel. And now everybody else, your job is going to be to keep Daniel from getting through again. Yeah, come on, guys. Make sure this is him. Hold on here. Daniel, are you there? Yeah, I'm there. All right, buddy. Did Morgan give you another password? Yes, sir. Okay, hang on one second. I have no idea what it is, Sammy, so you're just going to have to put it on a sign. Okay. You love signs. I do. I'll write it down right now. Perfect for you. Fun. Yeah, put it on a sign so we know what's going on here. Everybody else, 877-44-WODY, call in with your answer. What's a luxury you can ever go back from once you've experienced it? Your job is to keep Daniel from getting back through. And if we get to the end of the five minutes and you're the person who's on the line, you will be the winner of the prize. Sweet. All right. Let's see. Here we go. I'm going to hang up on you, Daniel. Here we go. All right. Time begins right now. All right. We go back to the phones. And Woody Show, who is this?

Greg cannot relate to that because he would refuse to pay for it. Yeah, exactly. That's too rich for his blood. I flew first class once, and it was because I was on standby. But I get it.

What do you guys think about adding the question? I like it. It's cool. A lot of good answers. Like somebody said, having your own place.

Somebody else, a dishwasher. Yep. Yeah. Keeping your house at a temperature that's comfortable. 68. Yeah. Hiring movers. Oh, that's another good one. God. If you want to save your body too. That's a good one. Very little commute. Being able to walk to work or working remotely. That is a game changer. Somebody said a housekeeper. Once, twice a month. Doesn't matter. Remember, money is a tool that can buy back time. I agree with you on that. That's a good way to put it. Yeah. Always wanted that. A good bed and a good pillow. How about a king-sized mattress? That's another one. That's the one. Yeah. We could do it, Queen, if we have to. Yeah, but it's not comfortable. Right. Not having to look at prices while buying groceries. Oh. Somebody said, this brings up, I'm not swimming in money, but I don't have to think about every price tag. Okay. Yeah. Having a washer and dryer in the house, no laundry mats, an electric toothbrush. i love it that's pretty good yeah uh decent noise canceling headphones for air travel sure okay yeah somebody else did first class on flights over eight hours wow yeah that would oh my god i've only flown basic yeah oh here we go daily mention of japan someone said living in a high trust society like japan Nice Or some parts of Europe If I leave something important somewhere it still be there What Shocking. This is The Woody Show. And let's learn. Okay. Let's be educated. Let's learn a menace word of the day. All right. We got a word of the day calendar. Little buddy's got about a 200 word vocabulary. That high? Thank you. Yeah, over the years, he's added a couple. Yeah, good. It's like you're a chimpanzee. He's added a couple. I don't disagree. Menace word of the day calendar. It's a word. It's the pronunciation guide. It's got the definitions on there. And then also used in a sentence. Now, will he retain this? I guess we'll find out, but time for the menace word of the day. Now, the page. Greg's got that for you, man, so if you want to grab that from him. All right, I'll spell it for everybody. R-E-N-D-E-Z-V-O-U-S. R-E-N-D-E-Z-V-O-U-S. Rendiva? Divu? Rendeevoo. Oh! Record time. He used his brain. I say Rendeeva sounds like a beef like, you know, like growing new hair. Yeah, right. Rendeeva. That does not look how Rendeevoo would be spelled at all. No. But what did you use? You use your own words to think, oh, that sounds kind of like. Like Rendeevoo. Yeah. Good job. Yeah. Rendeevoo. That's word of the day. Rendeevoo. Good job, yeah. Rendeevoo. I love a good Rendeevoo. All right, so give us definition number one. All right. An agreement between two or more persons to meet at a certain time and place. Okay. Nice. All right. Number two, a place designated for a meeting or assembly, especially of troops or ships. Okay. Assembling, but yeah. Okay. Sure. Whatever. I'm still very impressed. You got it. We've been a part of these other word of the day. Butchered. It's an abomination. I'm surprised you nailed designated there. Yeah. All right. What's the word again, Menace? It's the new liquid death energy drink. What's the word? Rendezvous. Okay. Now use it in a sentence here. Okay. On this weekend, on his weekends, Menace will frequently rendezvous at communal promenades with his ear whistle ear whistle ear smile permore permore okay Tyler aka DJ sloppy tendons titans see T-E-T-O-N-S see I think the sentences are DJ sloppy Tetons? I don't even know what it is. Tetons? Is that really Tetons? Like the mountain beach. I think the sentences are unnecessarily complicated. There's a real sentence. Are they? It's erstwhile paramour. What? Paramour. Like a paramour. Teton? AKA sloppy Tetons. Where then they confirm over the finer points of accumulating abstract adubsinant trifles. What? We'll come back to that. As a Lego set in authentic athletic vestments, whatever. Okay. Where's it from, Ennis? That would be from Town & Country Magazine, February 2026. 2026. The latest issue. Wow. I mean, that sentence is atrocious, but that is a completely unfair sentence to use for little buddy here. I always like the gauge if Greg can just read it perfectly. Okay, now, before Greg does that, let's focus on this other word here. A word, yeah. Alright, so the word is spelled A-D-O L-E-S C-E-N-T Okay, do you have the word there? Yeah. Adolescent? Okay. There you go. There it is. All right. We outside? I'm just trying to, like, you know, worry about the next word after the word I'm reading. Can someone explain the Tetons joke? What does that mean? Tetons means man feats. Do you know what Tetons are? The Grand Tetons of Wyoming? That is, it is boobies. Oh, okay. DJ Slotty. Yeah. Poor Tyler catching strays. Well, he hangs up with Menace. Honest Weekend's Menace will frequently rendezvous a communal promenades with his erstwhile paramour Tyler, a.k.a. DJ Sloppy Tetons, wherein they confer over the finer points of accumulating adolescent trifles, such as Lego sets and athletic vestments. So you guys talk about, you know, a normal set. That's a crazy set. You hang out and talk about accumulating dumb stuff. Jerseys and Lego sets. I mean, I did get a new Lego set just recently. Oh, do tell. You can have heard about it. It's from the F1 movie. Got that one. Still. Still waiting on the F1 Academy one, but they haven't sent it to me yet. There you go. There's the menace word of the day. What about that? Yeah, a lot. I feel like rendezvous is a word that he would use. Yeah. Rendezvous. Yeah. It's rendezvous. And do what then? Have dinner, maybe? Okay. Yeah. Nice. Yeah. This is the Woody, Woody, Woody Show. Now, however you say it. Cussing, cursing. whatever. Swearing. Swearing. A new poll from the University of Michigan shows that parents are cool with kids swearing. Oh, really? All right. Talk to more than 1600. Well, our parents are of a different era. True. Right? I mean, my mom is more like Greg's parents. Like where sucks. Sucks was a swear. Shut up. Shut up was a swear. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. Idiot. It was a sweater. Now, like, it was after I was a kid, but before people my age were adults, there was a window there where the word stupid kind of fell onto that. Like, you couldn't use the word stupid. You can't call people stupid. Yes, you can. No, but not when I grew up. Really? No, absolutely not. Oh, it was worse. It was called retard. That's true. I think that was such a big... Stupid. Everything was gay and retarded. Oh, that's true. Very gay. Can we kind of point to a period, maybe like late 80s through early 2000s, where everything was on the table? Gay, retard, the F word, the gay F word was all over the place. Wait, which one? The F. Let me say it real quick. Oh, thank you. Oh, by the way, and racial slurs, too, all over TV. Which, by the way, aren't illegal for us to say. It's just not a good idea for our careers. where those things were all on the board, but prior to 1985 and then after 2010, those have been off the board. I think it depends on the age, though. Junior high, those were all on the board, but when I was little, stupid wasn't one you could say. Okay, so again, talking to 1,600 parents of kids between the ages of 6 and 17, 53% are okay if their kid swears. Now, it's important to say the parents don't want their kids swearing 24-7, no reason kind of stuff, like in context and appropriately. like not just saying it for the sake of saying like appropriately is good depending on the situation right where would you fit in on this like um like you wouldn't like you don't let your daughter swear do you uh see i guess i guess it depends on the situation like if i heard that she was swearing i'd be like why why are you narking her out like leave leave her alone yeah like i know that these kids i've heard these kids when they interact with each other yeah like if you no f you yeah like it's like that's brother and sister stuff right right she's 13 he's 16 whatever they're doing what they're supposed to be now when uh my son he starts to feel himself a little bit being 16 and he's having an argument with uh my wife and i about whatever it is he goes well he's effing you know whatever idiots they i'm like hey hey hey hey like it it's one thing if we're joking around about something yeah like i won't mind it as much it's when he's using it in that kind of context where and it's directed not at us saying you know saying it like about us or something you know yeah right you're not effing idiots right right but he is getting a little or if i say hey i need you to blow up i don't give an ish like i picked that ish up like no no no You're not having a conversation with me. Yeah, bro. Yeah. Tom Segura, the comedian, I don't know if this is real or not, but he always talks about he has little kids and how they speak. Oh, yeah. It is wild. I believe it. I believe it. Yeah. Researchers say that the recent shift in allowance of swear words points to a gray area among language norms with parents trying to balance rules and social pressures while they try to guide their kids' behavior without overreacting. I guess, yeah. I mean, I'm not offended by, like, some people just, like, grown adults can't hear certain words. That to me is so, I don't know. Childish? Yeah, it's so soft. Extra? Like, people, they're one step away from shrieking, like, there's nobody around who can't hear that word. The fact that you just reacted that way is, like, unappealing. Yeah. It's kind of bipolar. Stop being a vagina. I think the people who overuse it is unappealing. And we've talked about this before, about how it just shows a lower class of character. Yeah, I would disagree with that. What do you think about Gary Vaynerchuk, Gary V? He's had this a number of times where people say, Gary, you have a lot of great things to say, but like, why do you have to swear all the things? Because that's just the way I talk. And he's like, I'm not focused on that. Like the fact that you're focused on that and not about the greater message of what I'm saying. Don't get distracted by it. Yeah, like that to me says more about you than it says about me. How about don't be distracting? How about if you're a communicator, craft your message in such a way that it's appealing to the broadest audience as possible? But what does he care? Maybe that is the broadest audience. Right. I just don't think he... No, it's not, though. Yeah. I think that's an excuse. Yes. That's like saying, I can't control what comes out of my mouth. But why? Why control it? I mean, like... For what? For what you just said. It's not that it's a big deal when a kid swears, but when it's every other word just for the sake of swearing. It's lazy. It's crutchy. Trudgy. Yeah. It's like the comedians that do it. It's like, OK, we get it. You say F every other word. It makes it less funny. Yes. I believe in time and place. Right. Right. And that's obviously subjective because you could say, oh, well, you're in a work environment. Well, I think it depends on the work environment. Like if I'm a doctor, if I'm a doctor. Right. You know, like maybe not. But if I'm a construction worker. different. That's the way I talk. That's an excuse. You control how you talk. It's like menacing. You always eat with your mouth open. That's the way I eat. Everyone, even myself and Greg, have things we can improve in our lives. You're just not self-aware. That's what we're saying. The people who come so much are not self-aware. I was just saying with your guys eating, you guys make noise. I'm just not going to be like oh look i can hear you eating like who cares moms and dads of teenagers say it's more likely to depend on the situation uh younger kids six to twelve likely most of the time not okay um half say their their child never swears third say their kid rarely does a quarter admit their child swears occasionally or frequently so what about i wonder if they're the kind of parents like and like you guys might be woody like you'll swear in front of your kids so it's not like they've never heard you swear but like they need to cool it you know they can't mimic you when they're talking again it's it's all about the it's about the situation yeah like where it's being used there's time and place so um yeah okay i understand like i remember man medicine i have the same story pretty much about getting in trouble when we were really little and we used it at school yeah now my kids, even though they're around my wife and I who aren't uptight about language, we use language or whatever. They've never gotten in trouble for using language anywhere they're not supposed to. That's impressive. They're smart enough. Like I'm, I'm proud of that. Yeah. You know, because they, they at least know better. And that's what we've always said. Like, Hey, cause you can't be talking like you're around your grandma, like, uh, time and place. Now it depends. Like my dad, my dad, my stepmom, a little loose, a little bit looser with that kind around my mom or my stepdad. Oh my God. Like, no. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. Know your audience. Yeah, right. Or at school, no. It can get overly trashy. Even when our kid was little, like four or five years old, we'd say something like, remember, that's a home word or that's a home joke. Like, don't go around saying that at school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We do that a lot. A home joke. Does he swear? No, he is a little angel. With his kids, with his other kids, friends he does. He might, but like, if I say something, but if I say something, he looks at me like I'm, yeah, exactly. Like I'm the devil. I'm like, I'm allowed to say damn in my own house. Yeah. I, I've said that to my kids since they were little. I said, yeah, those are, that's mommy and daddy words. Yeah. Yeah. You know, like, yeah, I don't, I don't need permission because I know the difference of when and where to say it. Exactly. Kindergarten is when I got in trouble and then first grade, like on the playground, like people were swearing like crazy. Oh yeah. In first grade. Yeah. So, uh, are you okay? And you can, you can guess like, uh, it's not just a black and white. Yes. Or no, there's a lot of gray area there but in general would you say that uh you're okay with language just in general because other people are like you know uh i like it when you well comedians can be funny without swearing like i i hate when grown adults say stuff like that yeah or when grown adults among other adults say well f that or you know uh i don't give an s yeah like dude You're with other adults. Either say the word or don't say it at all. Don't say S word. Find something else to say as opposed to S word to another adult. Unless it's on the radio. If we're not on the radio and an adult's like, I don't know man, that's bull crap. That's the ick. 877-44-WOODY. I got some funny clips. Let me take a break and I'll come back.

And with Jeff Garcia out of town this week, it's Dumbass Toddler with The Locale Sports. Well, remember how I said that the Lakers couldn't soak over their loss on Monday because they had another game against the Spurs right after? Yeah, well, they didn't show up for that one either. Oh, Fox to steal. He's waiting for Victor, and he throws it off the backboard for Wendy. Luka didn't play last night because he still has the calf issue. LeBron didn't play last night because he's an old-ass man, and the Lakers got killed by the Spurs 136-108. They'll suit up again and face Cooper Flagg and the Mavericks tomorrow. Did the Clippers fare any better? No, they did not. Durant on Jones. There's the help. There's the shot. And there is 20 points tonight for Kevin Durant, and they're in 20 points for Kevin Durant for the 1,000th time in his career. Typical Clippers on the wrong side of history again. They fell to the Rockets 102-95, and for added torture, they stay in Houston and face the Rockets again tonight with tip-off at 5. Over in the Olympics, the women of Team USA destroyed Team Canada in hockey yesterday 5-0 and in the process became the first team to ever shut out Canada in an Olympic hockey game. The U.S. also earned three more medals early this morning, including a gold in women's freestyle skiing. So, in an updated medal count for the standings, Norway is still in first with 13, Italy is in second with 11, and the U.S. is now in third with 10. Four more medals are up for grabs later today in men's speed skating, women's luge, free dance figure skating, and men's luge. Checking in on football, Rams right tackle Rob Havenstein announced his retirement from the league yesterday. He played in 148 total regular season games and started every single one of them. He was also drafted in 2015, which means that he's the last member of the Rams team that started in St. Louis before moving to L.A. Congrats on a great career, Rob. And in baseball, the Angels are in Tempe today with pitchers and catchers reporting for spring training. Not that anyone cares because they suck. The Dodgers, meanwhile, they report to camp on Friday. I'm dumbass Tyler and that's your SoCal Sports. What a dumbass. All right, thank you very much, Tyler. Welcome back. They might look cute and cuddly. They are very mean-spirited. We're back, everybody. The Woody Show. Right before the break, we were talking about this new research that came out that found that parents are way more cool these days than ever when it comes to kids and their language. Kids swearing. Whether it's their own kids or hearing. Now, hearing a little kid say a word they're not supposed to is always funny. I think it's hilarious. My wife and I, my son was really little. We're talking about like three, four, whatever he was. We were pulling into the garage and you know how sometimes you have to shimmy the car a little bit to make sure there's room. To open the door. But you don't want to hit the wall. You don't want to hit the other. My son goes, don't hit the effing wall. Because I think I might have said that to my wife. Watch the effing wall. Man, we were like exploding because we were trying not to laugh. I told you I had some clips of kids cursing. Is this when they send them into the bathroom and say you can swear. Those are so funny. We'll start with this one. This is a little kid and he's just listing all the curse words that he knows. Tell me all the bad words you know. Go. Crap. Shut up. Butt head. Butt hole. Butt crack. Butt nose. Butt face. Butt head. Butt ear. Butt mouth. Butt teeth. A lot of butt. Butt head. And... S***. oh wow that is strong all the butts butt teeth butt ear and then the S word yeah that's pretty good yeah so the it was a bad word bathroom trend yeah that was the best you can say anything you want so what you know parents were doing for content for social media is they would tell the kid like alright I'm gonna put you in the bathroom here and when I close the door you can say as many curse words as you know or you want you can't do it outside of this room but while you're in this room and then I'll be outside, you let me know when you're done but they left their phone in there so the phone was recording the kids as they were like just saying all the bad words that they know you know how mommy tell you not to cuss because that's bad right? you don't say bad words because you get in trouble and that's bad and God don't like that right? so that doesn't happen again mommy gonna let you say all the cuss words you want just this one time you can get it out your system and after that don't ever say it again okay? Okay. Wait. Fuck. Are you saying it? Yeah. I don't mean you. Fuck, bitch. No. You is not a bitch. I was a bitch. You got a one out? Fuck. Oh, fuck. I don't mean you're in my house. You got a one out? I got them all out I got them all out you bitch you fat bitch either from the mom kicking the dad out or from the dad kicking the mom out I don't need you bitch you get out of my house I don't need you bitch I don't know CPS on that one I don't know who did this but I was at a house gathering and one of my friend's kids gets in the middle of the living room and starts just yelling out icky snatch it was like the funniest thing and would not stop saying it I heard that somewhere yeah here's another one of those the bathroom cursing things. When this door is shut, you can say any words you want to, even naughty words, bad words. That way you get them out in here and you don't say them in public where you're not supposed to. But sometimes they say one bad word just quietly. Well, say whatever you want to say and you won't get in trouble. Let me know when you're done. F*** you. Jeez. Oh my God. Ass. Bookcrack. F*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you, f*** you. F*** you. You done? Yeah, now I'm done. Ass, ass. Oh, so weird. And then, uh, here's this kid. Bitch, I will go to, bitch. And then I see a dream and see, yeah. Bitch, I will go to both of them. Bitch, I will have a night right there. At the police officer. It sounds like Greg laughing. Like when Greg got uncontrolled. Yeah, it does. What you told her to do? Get out of town, what? miho. Don't play with miho. Don't play with miho. I couldn't understand half of that. Seabass, I'm curious what you think of this. I think it's cute. Sure. Now, I am a little bit, as someone else said, a little bit kind of depressed or sad that they would like have these ready to go, especially calling your mom a fit. Yeah, that's disconcerting. I don't need you. That's chambered. I'll give you, I'll give you one more and then we'll take the break. But this is a toddler on one of those like little toy phones, a pretend phone, making a call. Say that. Like pretending to have a phone conversation, laughing about something that someone's saying on the other end, and yeah, just having a good time. What do you mean to know about this? F***. Yeah, just drops the F-bomb. Jeez. I mean, people do talk like that on the phone like that. It might have said something crazy. Don't laugh with it. So good. All right, 877-44-WOODIE. Text us 229-87. More Woody Show is next. The Woody Show. We'll be back in a bit. Hello to The Woody Show. Uhm, I know you want to listen to your podcast, so I'll keep it short.

Want to know more about the insurance where cost-free cost-free cost-free cost? Go to asr.nl. This does ASR for you and a cost-free community. ASR does it So now you can listen to your podcast now We got CBass. We've got Sammy. Morgan is here. Phones are open. 877-44. Woody, you can hit us up with a text over to 22987. Dude, I don't know if I'm losing my mind or what, but more often than not, and this has happened to me a lot over the last couple of weeks, is this a sign that you're having like a stroke or something? Okay. Okay. So like, you know, when you look at a word and you write it down, you go, there's no way that's the right spelling. It looked so weird. Yes. Yeah. like when it's spelled right yeah it doesn't look right word of the day yeah we get it no but i we were here too we i get it yeah no i'm gonna say like a word that you've written a thousand times and you know how to spell it it's not even like you have to stop and think about you just right but for whatever reason in that moment it just looks weird yeah yeah i looked at my own name uh recently and i go not that it was spelled wrong i'm like it's you know like a word the The more you say it, the more strange it sounds. That's what it is. Like, that's so weird. What a weird thing. What a weird ass thing. More like when you say it than when you look at it. Yeah. I think. Yeah. That does sound like a little glitch of some kind. Yeah. Just like, you know, the more things that you think about it, like, so people say that about sex. Like, when you think about what sex is. Oh, it's gross. Right. Like, what? It's weird. Yeah. Yeah. Like, for sure. I mean, just think about it. I mean, like, think about what you're doing and think about what's happening. Well, the weird thing about sex is that people get grossed out by doing such milder things. Yeah. Like, oh my God, can you imagine sharing a toothbrush? Where was your mouth? That's exactly right. You know what I mean? Even more. Yeah, you're worried about leaving your toothbrush out in the bathroom. Next to the toilet. Not even next to the toilet, just in the same room as the toilet. But yet, meanwhile, you're tossing salads. something on. I would bet every single penny in my bank account that Sammy would never let Steamboat Willie use her toothbrush. No, I mean, you can use it and then I'll throw it away. There you go. I have a lot of spares. You wouldn't go back. You wouldn't go back to using it. That's what I mean. But you'd French them. Exactly. Yeah, I know. But picking food out of your teeth and no. I'm with you. I just knew you wouldn't do it. Frenching is different than brushing your teeth. Let's change that narrative because people say, oh, it's just the same. No, no, no. With a toothbrush, you're digging and scraping and getting old stuff out of there. With Frenchie, you're digging with a mouth party. When you were a teenager, I mean, if you're doing this as an adult, you should get your head examined. But when people were teenagers, remember when people used to exchange gum? Yeah. Like boyfriend, girlfriend. Lollipops. Pop rocks. It means you really liked them. Like a guy wouldn't do that to the chick. But the chick, you'd go to make out with your girlfriend, and all of a sudden, she'd pass you her gum. So intimate. Yeah. Hell yeah. That's my girl. You felt like you got some, you know? Oh, mine was kind of lamer. Because, you know, we would smoke cigarettes. So you would, like, take a drag, inhale, and then make out with the chick, and then blow it into her lungs. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my God. That's the cigarette version of snowballing. Totally. And then she breathes it out. With weed, though. Yeah, I still do that. I still shotgun with friends. You do? Yeah, you gotta shotgun weed, man. It's so much less harsh. Shotgunning's way better. Yeah. Yeah, just when you think about really what it is, it's super, like, sex is super weird. sleeping like you know that's another thing it's like when the more it's normal right but like the more you actually think about it you're going unconscious like you just lay there for hours while you're living in a different like alternate reality in your head every night you're having these dreams and these weird like it's weird like okay I'm gonna go and I'm gonna lay down on this thing yeah the bed I'm just gonna lay down here for a big chunk of hours yeah and then start all over again how do you know that you're not asleep right now I told you dude I had that thought before of like how do we know we're not already dead at some point we segued from our real earthly existence our earthly life and without us realizing it we woke up as if it was like the next day like matrix and then we've now continued on so if your life really sucks and life is really terrible or whatever, maybe you were a bad person in your last life and this is your hell. This is hell. This is your nightmare. Because people go, oh my God, this is my hell. I'm living my hell. Like, you know, life is hell. Maybe you are. Like maybe you just, you know, died, didn't realize it and this is your sentence, right? Or if you have a really great life, maybe you were a really great person and it's not like you get to go see all your old relatives and stuff. Okay, there's a good question for Greg. Yeah, yeah. All right, so Greg, heaven and hell, it exists. Okay. Right? But instead of when you die, you have a choice. You get to go see all your, you know, dead relatives and things like that. People talk about like going to heaven or whatever. You get to go to that Jimi Hendrix concert you always wanted to see or whatever. Or you just go to a parallel. Like you said, like it just segues. So you kind of live again. Yeah, but like because you were a good person or whatever, the alternate version of heaven would be going into a quote another life where you were just like loaded and you know like all the stuff that you wanted from your last life is now happening those are your two options like you don't reunited with loved ones or get this awesome life all over again yeah like you like like a new like i said like what like what if we're already dead yeah right now right and so just look at wherever your life is right now do you have a good life cool then you're probably a good person it would be like because you had a good existence and this is heaven. And this is without knowing it, obviously. Yes. I would take the second life. Oh, wow. You would? Yeah. Because what are you going to do after, let's say, I don't know. Cool. Let's see you again. After a week. Hey, grandma. You're floating around a cloud with your grandma. All right. Now what? I thought you were going to say, would you rather go to heaven alone or hell with your loved ones? No. Oh. I like that. I'm saying it's two different versions of quote heaven, right? People have this all like, oh, you're old dog and relatives and stuff like that. Right. The dog would be tempting. But if you got to my own personal heaven on earth or in life, what would that look like? Greg's would be waking up so rich that he checks his bank account every day just to see it. But never really worrying about any kind of money. I would take that in a heartbeat. I think heaven would, even if the way that we picture it in our heads, it would kind of get boring. Yeah, because you wouldn't be missing anything because you wouldn't be aware of your last life. If you wouldn't be like, oh, well, I could have been right now in the other heaven. I wouldn't care. Yeah. This is such a high thought. I was about to say, are we all high right now? Who should have done who? I love. What if we're not here right now? Here's another good example. I love high talk. Something that's actually kind of weird the more you think about it. Public restrooms, right? I find that, I've always found that to be weird. Yeah. I just had the weirdest thought the other day. Me and Tyler put our butts on the same toilet now. That's weird. Guess what, Morgan? I had that same thought for you. Oh, thank you. That's so gross. But it just hit me the other day. You got some Dungeness now. So yeah, it's the same with public toilets. I mean, you're just sharing a plate with a stranger. I mean, it happens here every day in the men's room. You walk in there like, you know, men is there already at the urinal taking a leak. I pull up next to him. But you don't know that it's Tyler. We're sitting there. We're both sitting there. We both have our wieners out in our hands. And we're like expelling a liquid from our body instead of having a conversation. It's so weird. It is hard for me to wrap my head around you guys doing that. I'm not weirded out by it. No, it's the idea. But when you stop and think about it, it's kind of weird. It's kind of gross. The trough, I don't know how you guys do that. The mantrough. Yeah, that's terrible. That's fun. I love mantroughs. The trough is just a bad idea. And it's so rare now that it's hilarious when people walk in and think it's a sink. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Because sometimes they'll have round ones, too. And it looks like a sink. They put their hands in it. Wait, do you lock eyes with people from across? Yeah, you're in a circle. What's something else that, you know, it's a normal thing. but it's actually kind of weird the more you think about it. 877-44-Woody. What? Using forks in a restaurant. Really? Like, everybody before you used that fork. Oh, yeah. I thought about that with pillows at hotels. Oh, I always think about beds. Because people are always, like, skeeved out by the idea of the remote control. Yeah. Right. And things like that. Like, you're sitting there wiping down the remote control, but then you put your face. Yep. Like, somebody probably had that as their crotch pillow the night before. Like, the one they're keeping between their knees. Yeah, I have that. But they always wash that, right? rotting boxes. Always. They double wash. God. God. Yeah. We're back to The Woody Show. It's one of those things I have no idea how we got on to the subject. Like what I thought was initially weird. Oh, I said, I said, yeah, looking at words, I wrote something down and I was like, that's not the correct spelling. I had to double check it and yeah, it turns out that is the right spell. It just looks weird. It doesn't look like it's supposed to be spelled that way. Yeah, there was a, weakest link question that you had where you asked Gina how many E's are in the word? Oh yeah, argument. Argument. Now you would think that there would be two. Right. It's kind of a tricker. I didn't think that. You gotta stop and think about it. How do you spell argue, Menace? R-A-G Argue. R-U Argue. We're gonna argue about something. R-U-G are you are you serious argue he's spelling ragu you're spelling ragu argue begins with the letter a oh you can't picture the word even argue like if you're going to read it like oh mom and dad were arguing yeah I probably would have read it right yeah so yeah you have those words that can't be the right spelling is it really that's how i feel when i look at my signature how the hell did it devolve into that yeah just a chicken scratch and now like when you go to those places and you have the the digital pen thing i don't even try anymore just draw a picture yeah i take i take my finger and i just do like a squiggly and as long as it accepts as something is there whatever yeah nobody's checking that moving uh moving right along yeah we were talking about uh things that uh that are normal but kind of weird the more you think about it like when you think about what sex is like that's weird sleeping we're talking about that public restrooms we brought up things are so weird spending most of your life at a job you don't care about that's weird what are you doing job interviews somebody you mentioned they can be awkward like two strangers pretending that this awkward conversation will just somehow in this short kind of back and forth you're going to be able to figure out if this person is you know the right fit or you're going to be able to work together with this person none of that is true you're not gonna be able to figure that out but this talk about a high thought i think about this all the time if i go to a restaurant if i go to a doctor's appointment if i go to i talk to a receptionist we're all just playing these parts like hi i'm in this costume i'll be playing the part of the dentist yeah they say weird somebody told me years ago that whenever you know because when i got into a position where i started having like interview people for positions, like hiring people. I'm like, I don't, but I don't know. What am I doing here? Like, well, the biggest thing you have to really try to figure out is reading people because anybody, whether it's a relationship, a job interview, like when you meet somebody like a potential relationship, they're always sending their, their representative. Right. That is not the real them. Yeah. The person that shows up to the interview is not the person you're going to be working with. No. The person that you met at the bar tonight is not going to be the person that you're in the relationship with. Like that is a representative. That's a version. That's the person who wants the job, not the person who has the job. Correct. They're dressing for the job they want. Right. Right. But yeah, like, and it takes a certain amount of time for that. You start to see, you know, what's really going on there. Peel back. Oh, there's a funny thing. I posted this on our Woody show Instagram. I don't know if you caught it on the Instagram story. I mean, it's not there anymore. It expired by now. But this is pretty funny. This is like if job interviews were honest, right? And there's a couple of these. Here's one. May we contact your previous employer? Sure. As long as I can contact your previous employees. I beg your pardon? You asked me if you can contact all the people I used to work for. And so I asked you if I can contact all the people who used to work for you. That does seem like a pretty good idea. I would love to. Let's call Glassdoor. Yeah. Yeah. Is that right? That website. That's the website. And that's what it is? It's basically like a Yelp for every job ever. Employees bitching. Guess how many stars that our current office has right where we are right now. Out of five. Out of five. Four and a half. I want to say five. Six. Four and a half. That is 2.7. I mean, how long is that? That's a little above average, right? Yeah, it is. And 21% would recommend this company to a friend. Pretty high. Yeah. Higher than I thought. 25% approve of the CEO. We just want to contact your previous employer to find out what you were like on the job. Yeah, and I just want to contact your previous employees to find out what you did to drive them away. We didn't do anything to drive them away. Hey, I'll trust you if you trust me. It's not a matter of trust. We ask this of everyone we interview. Okay, and I ask this of everyone I interview for. No, we just have a policy where we contact a potential candidate's previous employers before hiring them. Yeah, and I just have a policy where I contact a potential job's previous employees before agreeing to be hired. That's incredibly unorthodox. Whoa, I'm just asking you for the same thing you're asking me. So if I'm unorthodox, brother, so are you. Why would we want to hire someone who refuses to let us contact their previous employers? Why would I want to be hired by someone who refuses to let me contact their previous employees? But even if you did contact our previous employees and they happen to have some negative things to say, they could just be saying those things because they're disgruntled. Saying those for my previous employers. Well, f***, what do we do now? Well, how about you just hire me and forget about it? Fine, f*** it, you're hired. Great. When do I start? There you go. That's perfect. Logical. I would love to actually pull that. Yeah. I would love to do that. I think that'd be cool. It makes sense. It's really easy when you say, we have a policy. That's like a super easy thing to say. It's a blanket conversation stopper. Sorry, policy. I mean, have you ever taken an interview that you know that you're not going to take the job? You can act like that and it's fun. Yeah. Yeah. I knew there was one interview that I knew during the interview. I'm like, I'm not working for this guy. Yeah. because I had talked to the dude. I had just gone through a couple situations where I'd worked at a station and then they ended up flipping the format or selling the stations altogether. And so I was looking for something more stable. Not that there's really a lot of stable stuff within this industry, but I said to the guy, I said, hey, so how do you like it here? And how do you like the company? Because I'd never worked for this company before. This station had been around for a long time. It had been around for decades. It's a rock station. I'm like, okay, cool. And he goes, yeah, no, he goes, it's great. He goes, but this is about the time. I'm almost to the point where I know the phone system inside and out. When I get to the idea that I know the phone system inside and out, that's when I know it's pretty much time to move on to this. I thought he was being like silly. I thought he was just joking. And he was serious. Like once he kind of figures out how everything works there, he moves on to the next job. He goes, which is also why he goes, I try not to be all that friendly or close with the people that work for me. He goes, I don't want to have to feel bad when I have to let them go. Oh, I get that. I'm like, yeah, I'm not working for this guy. Yeah. The phone system is his barometer? Yeah, well, at the time, that was a big deal. The phone system now is not a thing. Very impressive. Thank you. I lied on it. Why don't you tell me about yourself? I need money to survive capitalism. What would you say is your biggest weakness? I have a terrible aversion to bulls**t, which makes it hard for me to work with others. Why are you looking to change companies? Well, my boss is a huge douche nugget, and our product is pretty much a logo painted over ChatGPT. So why do you want to work here specifically? Specifically because yours is one of the few companies actually hiring. And where do you see yourself in five years? Hopefully doing something I actually love. Great. Yeah. Do you have any questions for me? Does your CEO refer to employees as family? Yep. Does your sales team actually hit quota? Yeah. Are you going to go through major layoffs like everyone else? Almost definitely. Great. That's all I got. You're hired. When can you start? Right now. I was laid off three weeks ago. I didn't tell you. So funny. All right. 877-44-WOODY. Text us over to 22987. This is The Woody Show. All right, welcome back, everybody. Hey. It is The Woody Show. We're just laughing about a couple of those videos that I was talking about that we had on our Instagram story. If job interviews were honest. Yeah, if job interviews were honest. And then also like, hey, so we'd like to reach out and talk to your former employers. Well, cool. I'd like to reach out and talk to your former employees. See what they have to say about you. No. Which would be pretty good. And then, yeah, has everybody been looking up their current employer on Glassdoor? Yeah. You know, I never really realized what that was. Yeah. You do? You're sure employees to rate where they just left. I mean, it's been a long time since I've, you know, had to like get a resume together and send it out. Yeah. You know, my last handful of jobs have been because I got, you know, basically recruited, you know. Yeah, yeah. No resume needed. Yeah, the process now seems to be almost impossible because you have everybody writing their resumes with AI only to be read on the other end by whatever system that you're submitting it to at these different companies. It's filtering through AI before it even gets to anybody to look at your resume. Totally. Sifting through keywords. How does anybody get hired? It's either two things. I mean, if you want to talk about higher level jobs, it's either people that you know or recruiters. Oh yeah. The networking thing is massive. I still tell my, my kids that now I'm like, look, whatever it is that you're interested in, make it your business to know everybody who does that job, who are in the positions that hire people for those jobs, or even just in that industry who's successful just in that space in that industry and make it your business to know that person. And that way you can just bounce some stuff off of them. Or, you know, they, I know there's a lot of people, man, like when a, when a kid reaches out, they, they think that's cool because it's like this kid is showing initiative and they're happy to talk to a kid. Now, if you're like 35, you know, just kind of like randomly reaching out to somebody, you're going to have to be a little bit more slick about it. Right. But the younger you are, the better chance you have of actually establishing some kind of, you know, rapport or relationship. Although I did have one really bad experience with that. I was in my early twenties and I hounded this guy and I begged to take him to lunch to pick his brain and the, you know, like entertainment industry. And he kept blowing me off and he kept blowing me off. And he finally agreed to go to lunch with me. and I had to get off work and like I did everything I could and I spent all, basically the money I had left in my account going to this really fancy restaurant and the check came and he said thank you and he got up and left. Oh, so he let you pay for it? Yeah. He hardly said two words to me at lunch. Oh, so you didn't even get any inside? And he got up and he left and I paid the bail and went back to work. And then you ever have any kind of interaction after that? No, and the worst part of it is this was my dad's best friend in college. oh that's weird isn't that horrible I'm still pissed about that yeah I was really so we just I was like so you know you knew my dad yeah wow he hated your dad I guess there must have been some kind of like they were good friends I thought I don't know but I was really pissed about that I'll take the free meal yeah right just FYI after you're out there you know trying to get a job these are the fastest growing skills that companies are hiring for I mean the demand for the AI related stuff has more than doubled just in the past year and that's just gonna keep ramping up. The fastest growing skill on the freelancer and the contract worker marketplace over the last year, AI video generation and editing. Yeah. Up like over 300%. The in-demand skills the companies are investing in. So these are just other things. So the AI is not taking away the demand for other skills. But the companies are investing in accounting for accounting and consulting kind of jobs. I don't know what this is. Full stack development. Sure. That's for, they say, coding and web development jobs. Okay. Well, there's like vibe coding is the new thing. Vibe coding? I thought all the coding now was being done by AI. Well, that's what vibe coding is. If you know how to explain what you want in AI and build it, that's vibe coding. Our friend Tony was talking about how his son's going to go off to college, which is crazy. I felt that kid was just born. He's going to be going off to college and he wants to get into video game design. I was like, is that something that's still, yeah. Well, basically like, yeah. But with AI, I'm saying because people can easily create like a, a gaming app or whatever. but again, it's like going back, sorry, use this term vibe coding. It's like, you have to still be a creative person to explain to AI what you want. Yeah. These are other skills that businesses are looking for when they're hiring virtual assistants. So for a customer service, admin support jobs, data analytics for you know data science and analytics jobs graphic design now that's one for sure i thought would be i mean i came up with a logo for uh for your your stepson's like little biker gang bicycle gang with his friends in two seconds exactly and it looked really good it looked great yeah and then social media marketing which you know that's you know sales marketing stuff but like the social media market it's it's so crazy where everybody is an expert and it doesn't matter who it is i'll put anybody and they're all in the same boat they all they all think they all think they know what they're talking about they all have facebook they all have facebook but i'm saying like i'm online you know but uh but they all contradict each other about the what's in oh but what time you're posting something uh is important this other person goes nope not important at all yeah it has no like just keep just keep that the number of times that you can post something in the day and how to be effective like nope you could post every 10 minutes as long as what you're posting is like interesting to the people that you're targeting. Yeah. You know, it's just like, who knows? There's no right answer. You know. Not me. Yeah. Yeah. Don't go to Greg. 877. I will agonize over what to caption something. 44 Woody. Text us 22987.

Yeah, it's okay to be gay, straight, black, white, but it's not okay to stop at a yellow light when we both could have made it, bitch. Yeah. Every time. I get stuck behind the person who has taken their sweet ass time, but then all of a sudden they find the need for speed and they're the only car that gets through. Oh, yeah, they'll make it. Yeah. Then I'm stuck. then you watch them go. Yeah, and it's always what I've thought about being the aggressive driver and maybe passing on the right and going around them. I get screwed by it. I know. Sucks. Hate those people. I always hope that I pull up later and I see they've crashed. One can hope. Yeah. Or get pulled over. Yeah, like the meat wagons there to come scrape them off the highway or something. Alright, thank you very much Greg Gorey. You got it, Woody. Thank you so much for giving the Woody Show some of your valuable time this morning. You know, we'd love and appreciate you for that. the rest of you guys could suck it.
