So we will say hello to everyone in the Zoom room coming up here in just a second. First though, please welcome back Fox 5 Research Director, David Chiari. David, thank you so much for being here. Appreciate it. I love coming on here. Looking sharp as always too, my man. I like the monochromatic, all blue with the shirt, the tie. I'm running for mayor. Okay. All right. Mayor of? Lower taxis corner. Okay. Lower taxes. Lower. I respect it, trust me. I mean, you're kind of kicking off the campaign right on the tail end. You know what I would do? I would do easy pass, cap the button. Oh, that's... That'll get your vote. Yeah, I don't know how sustainable it is, but we'll figure it out. All right, you ready to dive right in? Let's do it. All right, let's do it. And we are starting off tonight with work. A lot of people still working from home, as you know, but that doesn't always mean that they are working from a home office. A new report from the Daily Mail shows nearly half of Gen Z remote workers start their workday From bed. Now, some of those people are just checking emails under the covers, but almost 40% admit they actually begin their full-on workday from the bedroom. 25% say they will take Zoom or team calls from bed. David, taking care of business in the bedroom and not the fun kind. We're talking about actual work in the bedroom. I knew where you were going with it. Okay, look, I'll be the first to admit, though, my workday doesn't start until 2 p.m., but I still check emails in bed first thing when I wake up. I grab my phone and I go through my emails to see if there's anything big that I missed. So I technically start my workday in my bed as well. So when I do work from home, I bring the laptop in first half hour. It's just like. It's always in bed. It's nice and comfortable. I'm not ready to get out to the night just yet. Yeah. So it's a way of easing into the workday. So yeah, you like it. I love it. And he's not even Gen Z. Allison's in the Zoom room on this Wednesday evening. Allison, thanks for joining us as always. The idea of starting the workday in bed and maybe not even ever getting out of it. Do you like this or not? I don't like that, Chris. I've worked from home for over 12 years, and I have to have a separate room. I have to have an office where I work because it needs to be emotionally separated. To me, my bed is a sacred place of calmness where only my son can come in there and on it, and that is it. I don't want any outside mentality. I don't want to feel anything else. I don't want to concentrate or focus. I'll play a game on my phone, and that's it. I don't want to work in my bed. Yeah, I respect that entirely. And look, I mean, I've lived in the one bedroom apartments and my wife worked remotely. And so we didn't have a home office. We only had our bedroom. That's where the desk was. That's where a computer was. And that was tough. I mean, for her, not for me. I mean, but for her, for me, it was more just about avoiding any sort of awkwardness. You know what I mean? I mean, but I, yeah, I completely understand where Allison's coming from. I do like the idea of easing into the day, but at the same time, I also like the idea of having that separation between like. My bed and work. Well, that's fine. People are separated. Yeah, that's right. The offspring. Watch. Billy's in the Zoom room. Billy, the idea of working from your, not only your bedroom, but actually in bed. Do you like this or not? I would like to do it myself, but you know what I'm saying? Because I'm always on the move when I'm working. But I would like to work in the bed, but I like the other work in the bed better. Billy likes the other kind of TCOV better. Of course he does. Freddie's in the Zoom room. Freddie, Freddie, working out of your bedroom, working from your bed. You're our Gen Z expert. Do you like it or not? Well, actually, good question, Chris. Yeah, as of right now, I have my laptop. I do work. I do my work from home when I sometimes when I do my schoolwork, but let me tell you that that's what I would like to do if I have a job and I have to work from home. I would just, like, do it here at my laptop at home. If, like, let's say another pandemic comes, then I'll just do it from home. Don't wish that on us. Don't you even put that into the air. I'm not going to wish me that. Okay. The one thing that would worry me, especially when it comes to, like, the Zoom rooms and the team calls, is, like, I don't need them sitting in my bedroom. I don't need my coworkers knowing what my bedroom looks like. Get a camera off. Well, I understand. That's probably what a lot of people are doing. But there's still that element of, like, it makes me nervous a little bit. Speaking of those early mornings, move over pancakes and cereal because apparently steak is making its way onto the breakfast menu. More Americans are swapping traditional breakfast foods for high protein options, including a literal ribeye. It's part of a growing focus on protein and wellness. One survey finds traditional breakfast foods have dropped four percent in the past seven years and cereal sales alone have fallen nearly nine percent. Over the past five years. Now, David, the concept of like steak and eggs, that's not necessarily anything new. But it was more of like a luxury. It might be more of like a weekend brunch thing. But the idea of starting your day with a steak, do you like that or not? Absolutely love it. I'm a high-protein guy in the morning. I love ground beef and eggs. That's why I was starting to, you know... A little bit of hash type of a thing, yeah? Well, I'm in that bedroom, so... What is a traditional David Goggins breakfast? It really is eggs, two eggs, scrambled, soft scrambled, and a French omelette. What? Go on. Fancy. And then ground beef. I love a ground beef with turkey, sausage. I need protein in the morning. Okay. We'll just get you going. Coffee. Put a little creatine in the coffee. That'll start my day. Creatine in the coffee. All right. I've been guilty of doing that before in a past life. Billy, Billy, the idea of starting your morning with steak. Do you like it or not? Do you do it or not? I love it. I like a steak omelette. You know what I'm saying? I do a ham omelette. I do all different types of omelettes. So I totally agree with this one. I'm with that. Okay. All right. So you were a big fan of it as well, just like David, Freddie in the Zoom room. Freddie, do you like the idea of starting your day with a steak? Is this a normal breakfast for you as well, my man? David Goggins and Chris, if you're listening to this, that's a hell no for me. No. Who wants to eat a ribeye for breakfast? Who can afford to eat a ribeye for breakfast in this economy? I can't afford that. Let me tell you that. David, do you feel like I should eat a ribeye for breakfast? Because I don't think so. It'll get you going. The goal is swole, man. It'll get you in those games. I don't mind steak and eggs. I don't mind steak and eggs. Steak and eggs is great. But Allison, I mean, like I said, in this economy, who can afford this? Who can afford this? That's what I was going to ask, Chris. It is very expensive. It's like, to me, your meals anyway should be lighter in the morning and build up, unless you're an athlete or unless you're doing an intense workout where you actually need to eat that type of food, but that's too much to eat too early in the morning to me, and it's expensive. It's expensive. That's my bigger beef with it. Unintended, yeah. Leave the jokes to me. But yeah, I mean, listen, in the past, when I was a more active version of myself and when I had more, you know, time in my day, I did like the idea of having a bigger breakfast than I like, you know, but these days, I mean, I'm lucky if I can get by with a piece of toast. I know. She's so cute. She eats like a... King. Don't get me wrong. She eats like a queen, I guess I should say. Look, there's a new way to spy on your home while you are away. The maker of Ring cameras now launching flying drones and wheeled robots to monitor homes and businesses. The latest product will let homeowners not only see who's knocking on their door, the new tech will also let bots explore the floor plans of your home or business. They can be deployed on schedule. The drone camera will cost $250, could start shipping early next year if it gets approval. You see some of the examples of it. Oh, that guy looks suspicious. The drone, okay, I already mentioned it, rings as it would activate after an alarm is triggered and has the ability to record video day or night. Critics warn, however, that the new technology could create more privacy concerns. So, David, the team of drones patrolling your house, do you like this or not? Absolutely love it, and I would pay the upgrade. I'll get out of here. Okay. It's interesting because I've always felt pretty adamantly and I do have one of these ring cameras, but it has, it is, it has caused more anxiety in my life as a result, because I feel like there is an element of ignorance being bliss. And so that there are times where like, I see a package getting delivered and then I'm like, just wear it. It's on my porch all day. And like, if I didn't know that thing got delivered, I would just show up at home and be like, Hey, look, that package got delivered. Exactly. And if it got stolen, then I would be I'd be like, I guess that thing never got delivered. But I understand the idea, the need for safety security, especially when it comes to some businesses and things like that. But this feels a little too like ultra billionaire, you know, this team of drones. Like I have nothing to steal. I have nothing to protect. I know. Melissa's in the Zoom room. Melissa joining us now live. Melissa, do you like the idea of this team of drones patrolling your apartment or your house? Look at all this. To watch me? I walk around the house butt naked. No, absolutely not. Keep that to the rich folks that really actually have something to steal. No, no. Jim Locke. Jim Locke joining us live in the Zoom room on this Wednesday night. Jim, are you dispatching the team of drones in your chateau? Guys, where do you see the video I have of Melissa? No. No. No, I'm kidding, Melissa. I'm kidding. Don't come for me. So I saw this. I saw they were testing this out on CBS a couple of days ago. And apparently you won't be able to control this thing on your own. So it's going to be all autonomous, which is just that's creepy to me because you're really assigning a lot of power into AI and God knows who else might be on the other end of that. Yeah, I agree with that entirely. And look, we already have those like little robots that clean your floor and they get stuck in a corner and have issues. Now you're just introducing an even more expensive and like, I don't know. I don't really know how I feel about it. Allison, Allison's in the Zoom room. Allison, do you like the idea of the team of drones patrolling your house or your apartment or your business? I don't like it, Chris. For the business, it would be fine, but for home, absolutely not. Invasion of privacy. And again, now that Jim just said that you can't control it, it's no telling what they can see, so I don't like it. Yeah, I mean, it won't surprise me that this is the wave of the future, but I'm not really ready for it. Move over, Kay, because apparently there's a new most passive-aggressive thing you can text someone, and... It is the thumbs up emoji. The Huffington Post wrote about this recently. They say the gesture has traditionally meant okay or an affirmative or copy, but in addition to seeming passive aggressive, they say it can also come across as sarcastic or even disinterested when used in text form. One Gen Z worker on a Reddit forum even said a bare thumbs up reads as cold like the texting version of an eye roll. Experts also say the thumbs up or even the simple okay can come across as hostile when it is not a proportional response to the previous message. So if I write you a whole thing explaining what I need done or what I need from you or what you did to upset me and you hit me with that, that's gonna come across as hostile. Do you agree with this? Do you like this or not? I like, I don't like it when it's done to me, but I do agree that it is an FU. It just is, it just, you get in a fight with a lovely lady, and, you know, you pour your heart out, she gives you a thumbs up, that's a go to hell. Yeah, that's absolutely what that means. No, I hate this, it's disrespectful, honestly. But you know what's weird? The emoji thumbs up is not as bad as the reaction thumbs up. So, thumbs upping a text is worse to you. The reaction thumbs up is an F you, that thumbs up emoji, alright, we're having a good time. You know, I can see both having both meanings type of a thing because like, look, we're a generation sort of not raised on, but we, we, our first, our main form of social media after MySpace was Facebook and a thumbs up was liking something. And I feel like our thought process has that has carried over into texting form. So there have been times where I might get a text from like our executive producer, Jack or something saying like, Hey, can you host the to take it to today, and my reaction is to To thumbs up that text, but I do worry that it comes across as like, I guess. So like, instead I will write, right. I will, I will write back instead of doing that. Okay. So, but there have been times where I've been tempted to, but I haven't for that exact reason. Melissa, the thumbs up in a text, is it, is it a passive aggressive thing? You know, I'm a Gen X, and I don't like people when they text me heart emojis or thumbs up or any emoji. Don't text me, pick up the phone and call me if I'm that important. pick up the phone and talk to me, but sending me a text message or a voice note or, you know, a thumbs down or whatever. No, we're not doing that. Hell no. I'm a Gen X. I'm from a different kind of era. We communicate different. If you want to communicate with me, communicate with me verbally, but not via text message or emojis. No. Interesting. It's interesting to me how emoji as its own kind of language has evolved. Billy's in the Zoom room. Billy, hitting a thumbs up, whether it's a reaction or the emoji in a text, is it passive aggressive? Is it hostile? Or does it just mean you like or agree with whatever you got? You know, I think I need to go to emoji school because I don't understand too many of them except for the cry and laughing one. So that thumbs up can mean up your A.S.S. You know what I'm saying? It can mean F you. It can mean a whole lot of things. So I need to go to emoji school. Look, there's a middle finger emoji, and used sparingly, it can be effective, yeah. I mean, if I was trying to be passive-aggressive, or I had an issue with what you actually wrote me, that's what you're getting in response. You're not going to get a thumbs up. But I do understand if, you know, it is, if you send this entire paragraph's worth of messaging, and I just thumbs up it, that shows I did not have the, like, I didn't even bother to respond. Allison, the thumbs up. Texting it or using the reaction. Is it passive aggressive? Is it hostile? Or does it just mean you're confirming it or liking it? It all depends on the context. Like you all were saying earlier, if it was like a long, drawn-out emotional thing, you're sending someone, and then you just get that quick text, that's negative. But if it's something like you, Chris, you produce multiple shows and host multiple shows, you have a baby, like you're moving, moving, moving, you don't have time to send everybody a long dissertation. You probably walk in text, or you're texting and driving. Like, sometimes you just have to go fast, and all I have time for is a quick thing. I don't always have time for a long text. Yeah, and what she's being too polite to say is that if I'm texting and driving, I might just smash that thumbs up, but don't text and drive, obviously. But on YouTube, thumbs up is good. YouTube, thumbs up, yeah, exactly, like and subscribe. Keep the comments coming on all the stories we've talked about so far. Coming up next, why the refs threw a flag on Miami of Ohio's A.V. team. So he's going to set up on the far hash for a 34-yard attempt. Peacock. Toto Leather, it's on the way, and it's off the upright. No good. And Miami is able to keep this a 10-point deficit. Someone says there's a penalty flag on the field. If Huebner is able to continue in this game, maybe he'll stay with Belisari. There are depictions of the field goal uprights on the scoreboard. That is a foul for unsportsmanlike conduct against Miami. Half the distance to the goal. Wow. A lot of first down. So on the video board, they had pictures of like four field goal posts. I don't know if we have a look at that, but I don't know. You know, I've been doing this a long time. I don't know if I've ever seen this called ever. Miami of Ohio hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after the A.V. team displayed multiple images of goal. You see it right there. All the different vertical yellow lines to confuse the kicker. The officials determined that Miami was in violation of an NCAA rule that says audio, video, and lighting systems operators cannot create a distraction that obstructs play. Miami of Ohio went on the win 34-17 despite the fact that Ohio was up at the half. The NFL also recently sent out a memo to teams about video board hijinks after the Patriots. tried a similar move. So, David, trying to use all of the tools at your disposal to distract the opposing team. Do you like this, or do you like the fact that there are rules against it? I love it. I love the gamesmanship here. You know, when you go to an NBA game, if the opposing team is about to shoot, there's like... Everybody's waving, you're banging the thing. So, why not this? This seems like a fair game. I love college football, by the way. Man, I love college football when they do things like this. I do, too. I mean, when I first saw this, I thought it was hilarious, and I thought it was brilliant. And if you've ever watched a game at Jerry's house down in Arlington, Texas, you know the sun is shining through directly into the team's eyes when they're trying to do anything. No one can see anything in that stadium. You know that's not an accident. Billy's in the Zoom room. Billy, the idea of trying to use the screens to distract the kicker, do you like it or not? We'll get you. He's there with his eyes closed. Like, come on. No, I don't like it. I'm just curious to know that if they hadn't done that, if you still would have bounced it off the upright. I mean, college kickers make it worse. Probably not, I don't know. Melissa, the idea of trying to use the scoreboard to distract the other team, do you like this or not? I don't think she likes it. No, I do not like this at all. No, and as a football fan, there could have been other ways to distract, but using the scoreboard, no. Like, who was in charge of that? I wouldn't. I definitely fire that person because you don't do that. We even on the NFL, we don't do that. As fans, we knock, you know, we bang on the chairs and we make noise and we wave things or whatever. But using the scoreboard, no, that person should be fired. I I'm sure that they did. I'm sure there were some repercussions. I won't lie to you. If you were the coach or you're that team on the sideline and you were giving your all and then somebody up in the, you know. costs you. Now, look. Yeah, but that's pre-planning. There's not a lot of action. It feels like it feels like that was not somebody just on their own going rogue a little bit. All right. Who else we got in the Zoom room? Fritzner? Fritzner in the Zoom room? Fritzner, where are you watching from? All right, we'll try and check back in with you. All right, let's go. We mentioned the Patriots and how they've gotten in trouble for this before, so let's talk about the Pats for a hot second now. Because Patriots fans, they could be in store for a payday, and all they have to do to score that extra cash is hang out after the game. The team is giving fans who park at Gillette Stadium a $50 Visa gift card to park in the delayed exit lot, is what they are calling it, and stay there for 75 minutes after the game ends. But if you want to leave earlier than that, you actually have to pay $50. It's all in an effort to manage stadium traffic after the game. One fan online showed the gift card he got in the mail for doing it. David, the idea of getting paid to wait before you leave. Do you like this or not? I love this. But hold on. So how do you get something to pay? That's a great question. I guess you have to park in that lot. Okay. So only a specific, like, if everyone's getting paid, then the traffic problem is still there. Yeah, you're just going to delay the traffic. But I think this is great. You hang back. You get a few bursaries. Is it a gift card? It is a gift card. It's a Visa gift card. You know what is fascinating to me? That it took teams this long to realize that traffic was a major impediment to a fan's experience. Because we literally just talked about how the commanders were going to start launching a shuttle bus that was going to pick up at certain locations in D.C. and then drive you to the game and then drive you back afterwards. And it was like 15 bucks per seat. And it was like, that stadium has been there for over 20 years. Why did it take you this long to come up with this plan? Even if you take Metro to Northwest Stadium, it is a horrible experience because then you have to walk for like a mile just to make it to the entrance to the stadium. And if you drive, as Allison, I know you know from your experience and my experience going to see Beyonce at Northwest Stadium, it took me like two and a half hours to get home when that show was over. And you know what is crazy, Chris? So I actually stayed, like I was one of the last ones to leave the concert for that very reason. I'm like, why am I going to sit here in all this traffic? You're never going to go anywhere. So me and my friend just did a photo shoot until it was completely dark outside. We were like the last ones to go. So I wish we would have got paid because we were out there all night long. Yeah, heck yeah. This is something that they absolutely need to bring. To the Landover experience. Melissa, the idea of bribing fans to not leave when the game ends. Do you like it or not? You're not going to bribe me because as long as I have good friends and good beer and good food, you're not bribing me to stay. And if I like the team, I like NFL, period. So even if I go to a Commander's game and I'm wearing, you know, a New York Giants gear, I'm going to stay. I'm going to stay and I'm going to have fun until everybody clears out because I've been stuck in that traffic at this stadium here. So, no, I'm going to stay. It's a nightmare. Thank you to everyone who joined us in the Zoom room. Thank you to everyone out there streaming with us on Fox Local. And Fox 5 DC's YouTube page. Thank you, David, for joining us as always. People want to follow you for more comedy. Where can they go to go? Hands down comedy on Instagram. Follow me there. I think there's some stuff that's cooking right now. All right. That's what we love to hear. We'll see you back here at 9 o'clock for the Live Zone Primetime. Fox 5 News at 8. Coming your way next with Producer Jim. I'm Producer Chris. Have a great night.
