Dave and Molly Sept 11 News of the day

0:00We now return to the Dave and Molly show. Hey, welcome back everybody. Let's check the news of the day. We were talking about 9-11, 25th anniversary of 9-11. And now we present to you things that are older or younger than 9-11, right around that time. All right. The iPod. Younger. By a couple of months. Oh, that's it. The iPod debuted in November of 2001. Ooh, very close. Google News. That launched a year after 9-11, September of 2002. Friendster. MySpace. Facebook. Reddit. And Twitter. We're all just right after 9-11. And in that order. Okay. What was the last of those social media things? And that was in 2006.

1:01Oh, man. Did you hear the launch of the new Apple product yesterday? No. It's a new CEO. He's only been there for a week. And he launched the Flip-New Flip Apple phone. Oh, I heard about it. It's like two grand or something. That's the base. That's the, like, yes. But two percent of the two percent of people have flip phones. Two. And they're launching a flip phone. Well, isn't it a thing that folds out? Like, it folds out. It folds out. Yes. But that's how all of them are now. They're, they're, they call them a flip phone, but really they make a bigger thing. So it's like seven inches and it's supposed to almost, so. And I think they said, China, there's one area that, the very, very popular. But they were talking about how with a new CEO, it's great to have a product to launch. Obviously, it's been in the works for a couple of years or whatever. But they're a little late on it. But Apple is really good at saying now we know when it's going to catch fire, but $2,000.

2:06And those are a little more fragile than regular because they have the hinges. I would think so, yeah. And so you need to be able to have $2,000 and replace it if it, anyway, that just seems. And the camera's not as good as the like 18 or whatever. So who knows? Just another product out there. I know a couple of people who have them and it's so weird. Look at this. It's like a little mini TV when it's all folded out. Yeah. That's weird. YouTube, YouTube is after 9-11. YouTube started in February of 2005. Oh, man. And then podcasts, the phrase, the word podcast was way before podcast being a thing. Some people didn't even know what it was, what a podcast actually was. But now we do. The term came into common use around 2004. And podcast was Oxford's word of the year in 2005.

3:10Yeah. And what does it literally mean? It means it is a instead of broadcast where it's going out everywhere. Right. It is a, it's like a, yeah, it's a cast that is in a spot and then you go to that. I think, I mean, that's a clever name. We do it every day. Yeah. Yes. That sounds right. The movie elf, two years after 9-11. And took place in New York. Yeah. And that's the thing like the friend, when you watch friends, the whole opening, they have the twin towers and the opening scenes and everything. Yeah. That's. Was friends. I'm not about that. What year did friends end? Was it 2000? Two. I don't know. Oh, yeah, yeah. It started in 90. Oh, no, friends started in 94, right?

4:11Yeah. I think they're 94 to two. They definitely had a couple of years after 9-11. Yeah. I wonder how they handled that. All the movie 2004 was the notebook. 2004 was Mean Girls. And 2005 was the 40 year old Virgin. No one had ever heard of American Idol prior to 9-11. That premiered in 2002. The office premiered in 2005. Grey's Anatomy was also 2005. Were you on Grey's Anatomy right from the beginning? Yeah. I remember it was a good one. Yeah, I watched it. I watched it all the way until about two years ago. And then I stopped. Just had so many cast turnovers. And they were really good about, oh, there's all these new people. But then you liked them. But this last time it was too much. Couldn't get into it and get behind it.

5:13I distinctly remember the SNL after 9-11. Yeah. I think Giuliani was on there, right? And then the baseball situation, because it was the two New York team. So no, no, no, it was. No, it was the Yankees in the, I believe it was the Arizona Diamondbacks. That's it. And they shocked the world. They beat the Yankees in that series. But there's a whole documentary about that. And then George W. Bush was the president, obviously. But the whole thing was, if you're going to throw out the first pitch, it better be a strike. It's got to be good. And he had to wear like a bulletproof vest and everything. And so he's down in the underbelly of Yankee Stadium. And he and Derek Jeter are playing catch and trying to make sure that it's a, you know,

6:13that it's a good pitch. And then, and, you know, he goes out there. The president and throws a strike. I mean, it was a good looking. Oh, yeah. It was like, OK. We needed that was not. You don't want it to be a comical or bad. Right. No sign of weakness. So the, the, the documentary that I was watching and I kind of fell off of it at the end. It really went into Afghanistan, the war. All it became a lot of military things and about what we were doing and stuff. But leading up to it, it was really interesting. These kids who are little, one of the, one, the one girl, the interview, her dad was one of the pilots of flight 93. Oh my gosh. Yeah. So she was just little and she talks about how this that day impacted her life. And she said, you think about all these things. She said, but my mom was never the same. She said, so now I'm dealing with a parent who is devastated and depressed for the rest

7:18of my growing up, basically. And, you know, I think she was three. Maybe when it happened. Or she missed her dad, but then going to school and that the cement happened and it impacts everybody, but more impacts her. And she said, it's just always been a part of my life. But then other people who are only learning about it in school, their perspective, how they're teaching it. And, and then people who were there, people who got out of the building, like really, it was really, and people who joined the, there was one guy. He was like seven when it happened. And he said, I knew right then I was going to join the service. And I was, I was going to be there. There was a football player actually played for the Arizona, Carter went to Arizona State. So he was a Phoenix, kind of guy went to Arizona State then ended up playing for the Cardinals. But went after 9-11 happened. He quit football and joined the, there was another, there was an actor who was somebody, an actor who did the same thing. He, he went, thought. But yeah, I think everybody was so.

8:22Now looking back, we had some misinformation obviously things weren't as, they seem. But at the time, it was the thing to do when you go. And by the way, a podcast is called, hang on a second, portable on demand. Oh, really? Thank you. That's from Bobbi D. Yep. I never knew that. But a pod is, it's not a pod, it's the POD. It's like the initials. Is that really it? Or did they say it later and say, well, it makes sense because now it's, that is what Bobbi D's death. Wow. You would think that we would know that on account of us being on one. You would think so. But then again, I was on radio for years and had no idea what AM and FM meant. So I still don't. So, and I thought, oh, it's it when they said, what's your format? I said, we play in sync. It was our format.

9:23I don't. Playing the pop hits. Playing the pop hits. The latest social media trend, we like to keep you updated on those social media trends. It's a divorce talk. Instead of TikTok, divorce talk. Oh. T-O-K, not T-A-L-K. Oh, OK. It's basically a rise in people sharing their experience on social media after ending many years of long marriages and partnerships. Did you hear that, Molly? So this is your chance now. There was a news story where one creator whose recent videos share her newly divorced life after her 12-year marriage. OK. Two reasons for all this. One, when you're with someone for that long, almost every aspect of your life feels interwoven with you. There's people now that are they're actually before they even tell their partner, they're going on social media to say, I have been in this relationship for X amount of years.

10:29And today is the day I break up and people like to watch that kind of drama. OK. Wow. Divorce talk, T-O-K. Yeah. Divorce talk. So they're saying stuff before their partner, even some of them. OK. Yeah. But there's others that are just, you know, they're sharing their, their split. Got it. OK. Instead of all of the sudden, they're not in a relationship anymore or how is that, you know, the, all the pictures of that person are gone. Yeah. They're erased. Is there a way to do that on Facebook where you can just like get rid of all anything that has to do with one person, even if they're not tied? I bet you with AI, they know, they know the faces, right? I would think. I don't know. Yeah. You just go through and anybody who looks like this get rid of them. Oh, yeah, like a program. Yeah. Oh, that's what I mean.

11:30So because sometimes on memories, things will pop up. It was such a fun concert. Oh, but he was with her then. Nevermind. Or I was with them. No, that's not good. No, no, we can't repose that. No, not tall. Here's another trend that's happening. Instead of a booty call, a foodie call. OK. That's when someone agrees to a date only to get a free meal. And sometimes it's a mutual thing. OK. Where someone sets up a date just to have some person to go to dinner with. OK. Can make that sense. According to a survey on dating advice.com, a third of all data is admitted to accepting a romantic dinner invitation just for the free meal. We're having no interest in an actual relationship. They just wanted the food back. And do they tell the person that that's a foodie call? That's a foodie call.

12:30I don't know if they tell them better than a booty call. A foodie calls are not just for cheap young adults. 26% of people 65 and older have also admitted to a foodie call. I don't know. It's not worth it. That wouldn't be worth just having to talk to somebody. I think I'd just rather pay for myself and Uber Eves at home. And my, as Kate Hudson would say, in my soft pants. Yeah. Just putting the effort out to eat with somebody that you don't want to talk to. I don't know. That doesn't seem. I like to go do stuff by myself. I don't even call my friends to go eat or go to the movies. So I'm not going to go with a stranger. And you will go to a restaurant all by yourself. Absolutely. I just had enough time. I can't do. I was at, well, I was at Panda the other day, but I had my laptop. But yeah, sure. I don't go out that much anyway, but yeah. Especially like Downriver, I would walk up there by myself. Usually sit in the bar area rather than take up a whole table.

13:33But you'll never, ever go to eat by yourself. I don't think so. Really? Yeah. It's a snuff. Would you go to the movies by yourself? Not anymore. I did it. I think I did it one time. The last time I did it was, it was phenomenon. Wow. And it was after I had already seen Independence Day. So both those movies on the same day. And yeah, it's just, I don't know what you're doing. What about if you're in the airport and you're traveling alone? Will you go into the restaurant there? But you wouldn't go to like twigs by yourself. No. Really? Why? It's just, I don't know. It's no. But that's when I saw this headline of Foodie call, it's like I, not like in a date thing, but it's like, gosh, I really would like, I'd really want Mexican food. And then like, well, who might be able to join me right now? You know, kind of a thing. But I won't go by myself. Really? Yeah, this one. Unless it's like to pick up to go, you know, and then go home.

14:35And then because you don't want to sit by yourself. I don't know. I see that's weird. I don't know. I think half the population will and half won't. I think that's a real split. A lot of people won't do it. You'll go to casino by yourself, though. Yes. That's different. Now, will you go sit and eat a slice of pizza? Like would you go through and go to the pizza place and sit at one of the little tables and eat a pizza by yourself? I've actually done that. Okay. But you wouldn't go into like the Chinese restaurant or maslos and eat by yourself. No. See, I totally will do that. Do you go to maslos, oh, by yourself? Absolutely. Yes. I don't know. I don't know. I'm trying to think the last time I went out to eat by myself, more of a fast food. It was like, what's the Mexican place that's Chipotle? Oh. And I was hungry and I didn't. I wasn't going to go home. So I sat in eight by myself. But lots of people were sitting eating by themselves. Yeah, it doesn't bother me. And she's especially, and like Mary and I were talking about, because she goes to the

15:35movies by herself all the time too. And when we went to see the coyote when she was, because I said we saw it, she loved it. She went to the gal who was next to me was all by herself. She was probably, I'm going to put her in her 30s, even she was pretty young. She was just by herself and I thought that's me usually taking the ends, but so you don't interrupt the family. I just, I don't, I'd rather do that than deal with somebody else's, what they want or need or what I, you know, I just say, I don't know. Let's see. So it's nice to have someone to go eat food with. Regina says I would never go out by myself or to a movie by myself. Yeah. I really think of this. I hear you. I'm with you. The other thing is I don't think I could ever be that person other than an airport lounge. Yeah. Like I can't be that person that sits at the bar by myself drinking. Oh wow.

16:36I just, I don't, I it's weird to me in a traveling situation. Yeah. Everybody. It's all better off. It's kind of a free for all. But if you're just going to go like, oh, I go to my friendly neighborhood bar and it's just me. That's what I can't get past that. Oh, I don't, I went when down river was, it would have to be within walking distance for me. I don't know that I would go take an Uber somewhere and go to a bar. That's different. But in my neighborhood, like, kennel stop by Yaya and grab a beer and he's just by himself. But he usually runs into people. He knows. Well, and then if you're, you know, you can talk to the bartender too. Of course. Yeah. But yeah, I would, I do it all the time. Am I a loser or do you mean that? I like the Nordstrom, Nordstrom cafe. That you'll find a lot of women on their own. That's where you'll see the most women by themselves having lunch is the Nordstrom cafe. And then of course, groups of women. But I think it's a safe place for us.

17:37It's like we're shopping, we're hungry. We don't want to deal with children. We don't, our girlfriends are working and we're just having our salad and our iced tea. Leave us alone. The women's lounge is the best bathroom in all of Spokane. So we have the best situation here and we're in a safe place. So I think when you're alone and it's a family restaurant like last night, the tomato street does a huge business, by the way. It's Thursday, they're packed. And there's big families and then there's, you can tell there's kids after ballet, after karate, you know, you see the kids in all their different uniforms, right? So and then you see the one guy. Just by himself having a little dinner or the glass of wine. There's a few red flags. But you know, and I want to say take it to the bar. If you're going to be by yourself, I say you take it to the bar area. Well, and I will augment one of the things I say wise, I don't like being the person

18:37at the bar. I do remember after it was, it was in Michigan. And I think I dropped my son off or something anyway. There was a night where it was just me in the hotel. And there was a sporting event on the television. And so I went down the bar and I was that guy at a glass of wine appetizers by myself. But at least I had the, you know, the thought of, well, there's a game on. So I'm, see, I'm watching a game and I'm like, but also if you're a hotel, you could be traveling for business. There's a million reasons you'd be by yourself. And I think hotel lobbies are another one of those situations where there's a lot of people who are there for all singles. Absolutely. Yeah. But like Nadine, she travels all over the world by herself. So she's got to eat a lot of meals by herself, right? Yeah. In restaurants. And I would do that. And in heartbeat, I would travel anywhere by myself and go and do that.

19:40It's to me. It's easy. It is different if you're, if you're traveling. But I like, I can't, you're hometown. It's not a day by myself. Yeah. See, I don't want that. That's the thing. And what do you do in here waiting for some friends? Oh, you're not. Oh, you're just here. Yeah. Can't, yeah. Off the board. Non starter. Um, oh, let's see. As Shunet says, I love going to eat or the movies by myself. It's good me time. Oh. Ashley says, I love going to Starbucks or Panera and getting work done while I'm there eating lunch by myself. That's good. Um, Carlos says, I have no problem going to eat out alone. I would probably go to the movies alone, but I just happened. Jeanine went to Hawaii by herself. Brenda. Oh, she is. I wonder if boys are more like, or girls are more likely to do this by themselves. Um, Brenda says, I go, I go to fast food restaurants all the time. And then I take myself to the movies. Uh, and yeah, uh, horror movies that are family.

20:41I would never go to a horror movie by myself worse. Here's what creeps me out. And this has happened to me because I go to the movies alone. Well, sometimes we used to go right after the show. It'd be like an 1130 movie at the AMC. Sometimes you're the only one in there. And if a scary preview comes on, I'm never going to go to a scary movie. But if a scary preview comes on, it's like, and it used to be now, it's all of our climbers before remember it was just the city. Yeah. If somebody is behind you, they could see your head and have fantasies about what to do with your head, I think, just like, Oh, I'm going to get her head. I don't know. Scary. She says I like being by myself totally fine going to a restaurant by myself would go to movie. Yep. Even in your hometown, even like a, yeah, another of opposites attracting, uh, Dave won't go to a restaurant half a mile from his house by himself. Wherever we know is a man loves him. Meanwhile, I'll go halfway around the world by myself for weeks and be perfectly happy.

21:42That's from your girlfriend. Oh, well, that's the thing too. I wonder if it's if you're someplace where you you're not going to know anyone. It's better than if it's something where you see somebody. Absolutely right. Yes. That might be it. If, if, and the whole travel part changes the equation, I think, I mean, like I said, like a, like a airport lounge, but of course, I'm going to have wine there. I'm going to sit by myself. I don't, that's not a thing. But I won't go to, like, I'm not going to go to a ranch. Oh, by yourself, by myself, you know, even for lunch, if you're starving, you're like, you know what? I just want to put on the, I want to eat, put on my eating bill, but eat. Is there a time we just kind of want to be left alone, like with your food? Yeah, but I'll get the food and then pregnant to my house. I don't, I guess I'm just not a social. I know. I'm not, but I am not a very social person, honestly.

22:42I think it may be because of our job. Like, we were socialed out. Yeah, we were talking about this with, actually with our friends, Michelle and Tony and they were saying that they had like alcohol left from last year's trip to Dave Matthews. And they were going to put that in the RV. And I said, what? They said, we just never drink at home, ever. And I said, we more likely would do that than go out. A lot of times I'm the designated driver when we go out. I don't drink at all. Let me go out because it's the Uber ride, everything. So it's completely the opposite for me. I would rather be at home, have a cocktail, shut it down. I don't want to have to be so talk. Drinks are fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right, shifting gears here. I think this is, I think you're going to be very excited about this because you and I have a tremendous disagreement on candy corn. You claim that it is something edible. It's not a thing for me.

23:43It's a world of grease. But listen to this, there's now going to be a candy corn perfume. Yeah. Oh, no. Smell like candy corn. Okay. It is the Brock's people, the candy people. They are making candy corn perfume available this fall. It's called Oh, to candy corn. $22 and you get it at candy corn season.com. The first batch will be released September 22nd and then another batch on October 1st. The bottles are 1.7 ounces and the fragrance is not cheap. Oh, no. They say it smells like swirls together notes of creamy vanilla, spun sugar and honey and this captures the coziness of the fall in every spray. Get it every spray. Yeah. Yeah. Perfume. Candy corn perfume. How much is it?

24:4322 bucks. The smell isn't cheap. Like it's not like a, like a, you know, it's more, they want to believe that it's. There is a candy corn candle, which I believe that probably is. I would burn it. I love the smell of candy corn. You can put, you can, that candy corn, it is waxed by itself. Actually, probably if you just put a wick in there with a bowl of it, you probably could. You know what I've been burning lately? I found, because I like to have a candle going and the only one I had left was the Christmas Pine. It smells like a Christmas tree. So yesterday, my whole house smelled like Christmas. Put you in the spirit. It was kind of nice. I like to open all the windows and have a candle going and just kind of, but it, it, it, it was, I know it's not the right season for it, but it smells good. Yeah. It's perfect. Here's the candy corn. Look at it. That's what it looks like. Oh. I don't know if people can see it. But that's it right there. Who makes candy corn and peanuts together, Linda says. Yes.

25:44Cocktail peanuts, the delish. That's your sweet and savory right there. I like everything about it. I don't know if you're a radio friend that used to call the, you know, peanuts that, remember they used to serve them like in a bowl, but it would be like peanuts that you would just grab with your hand. Yeah. And the name for it, I can't even say the name on the air. It sounds like peanuts, but it's not just because the, the assumption was that people weren't washing their hands and they were just diving in. And if you were having some of those peanuts, you were, you know, you're susceptible to what? To what? Well, you know, dirtiness, you know, people use the bathroom and then they come in there. So, so that's always been in my head where it's like, well, and now bars, a lot of bars don't even do it. They give you a personal one. They'll have, yes, or never a group one, not since the end. Yes. Yes. There's your own little cup. Yeah. Which is better. And that should have been something from the very beginning that was happening, not,

26:48not just a, ah, ah, ah, and then, and then there's the old, throw it in the thing and get it. It drives me crazy when he has a handful of peanuts or anything, any kind of does a like toss it in and and and and that's all I do that too. Well, it's, I found out why and I'll give you an example. So I'll just, I'll use a cookie and this is what I was told. So instead of, you know, if you, if you have like something small and you're going to, you know, you toss it in because they don't want to be seen doing this. Well, definitely not, but they don't want or like, well, yeah, don't. But I don't, but what's the shaking first? Like, there's this sort of. I've not noticed that with you. I would, yeah, if for certain, like you're eating trill mix. Do you put it in your hands? Ah, so trill mix is different because I have a part in my hand.

27:51Well, yeah, it's like, but okay, that is different than I hate it. I hate it when guys do that and I've never seen a woman do it ever. Yeah, I don't know what that it's like, I don't want to be seen having my fingers near my mouth because that looks feminine or like, well, I don't know something. And so now, and if he takes a handful and now he does it on purpose, you exact. Well, sometimes like, like at the baseball game with the, with the peanuts, you crack open the shell and then you're stuck with the little, you know, the part they eat. Yeah, it's, it is hard to just have that in your hand and then move it to your, it's just, you toss it in your mouth. Well, I know, but sometimes that makes me sense. Yeah, she doesn't like the toss. I don't like the toss because it looks cocky. It's like, babe, something about it. I don't get it. And now, but then once I told him about it, then now he's like, he'll do it, exaggerate it. I think that's a pretty good bit now.

28:53Yeah, for him.
