People are still looking for eggs, trying to find ways to access them maybe cheaper or just get their hands on them at all. Uh-huh. So much so they're now turning to Facebook Marketplace to buy fresh eggs because, of course, the bird flu and the egg shortage.

Uh-huh. So some stores have empty shelves and increased prices. So there are locals that are raising their own chickens and selling the eggs online. Unfortunately, retail egg prices are expected to climb by 40%.

And we mentioned this earlier this week. This could be going on for years. Mhmm. Yeah. But, I mean, can you imagine that? I mean, Facebook Marketplace meeting up, like, to when you sell something on Facebook Marketplace and you gotta meet somebody out, you know, it's already awkward and weird enough.

Can you imagine, like, doing that for eggs? Like, it's different if it's, like, a bike or a toy or, like, some sort of, but when it's like, yo. You got those eggs? You know? Like, it should be you're meeting in a Target parking lot, you know, exchanging money for eggs.

I mean, look. It's a what a weird time. What a weird time to be alive. But there is, I mean, I have seen we have somebody not far from the house. They set up on the weekends.

Yeah. Like, they have a truck, and they're selling eggs. I think it's only, like, $4 a dozen or something like that. I had to buy eggs at Kroger the other day. And, like, at least for the Kroger eggs, there there isn't even a price on them anymore.

It's just like a sign saying, hey, man. The price is what it is. You know? It's like, if you want them, this is what you're gonna pay. This is what you're gonna get.

Yeah. You don't find out till you go scan them. Well, you know, because of expensive things and the up and down economy, there's a new trend when it comes to our hair. Okay. It's called recession hair.

And, basically, it's where women are opting for darker, low-maintenance hair colors. Oh, I see. When you said financial concerns. When you said recession hair, I'm thinking hairlines receding or something like that. I'm like, what? No.

A lot of people are embracing their natural color. Okay. And salons are even noting the shift towards softer, more blended tones that require less upkeep. Look. I mean, hey.

I know what my wife spends, to get her hair done. And, of course, it's only, you know, every few months, but it ain't cheap. Yeah. But if you have to choose between eggs and getting your hair done. That's right. It's right.

In the family or getting your hair done. Yeah. I mean, who would have thought you'd be making those type of decisions. Right? It's like, man, I really need to get my hair done, but these dang kids want scrambled eggs for breakfast.

You know? Okay. So this right here is, this is this is nuts. AI couples therapy is becoming a popular option. It's even becoming a referee for disagreeing couples.

Apparently for $20 a month, ChatGPT offers unbiased advice and assistance. Interesting. Now experts warn it is not a substitute for human therapy, but praise it for its accessibility and affordability. I mean, you ain't gonna get regular therapy or regular counseling for $20. No.

You know? Definitely not that cheap. But can you imagine if you and David or me and Kelsey, like, if we're in, like, an argument or something like that, it's like, hey. Hold on one second. Let me whip my phone out.

Let me get ChatGPT and see what they say. Let me pull out my laptop, and then we'll we'll throw this argument into AI and see what happens. Now, here's the thing. If you ChatGPT basically sides with you, oh, this is great. Yeah.

You're gonna love it. This is in this is awesome. If it sides with your significant oh, this is just a piece of crap. It's just a robot. What do they know?
