Are you really okay with this?

SPEAKER_2 (0:04)

Are you okay?

SPEAKER_1 (0:05)

Everything's gonna be okay.

SPEAKER_2 (0:09)

Are you okay?

Allison (0:09)

Yeah, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

I'm pretty far from okay.

SPEAKER_1 (0:15)

Are you okay with this?

Allison (0:16)

On The Hammer and Nigel Show.

Okay. Well, Hammer, there's a quote unquote wellness trend going around social media called floor time.

SPEAKER_1 (0:29)

Floor time.

Allison (0:30)

This is a wellness trend called floor time. The idea is pretty simple. Spend a few minutes sitting or lying on the floor to give yourself a chance to slow down, stretch, and let go of some stress. Are you okay with floor time?

No. No?

SPEAKER_1 (0:49)

Because at my age, that's called falling down.

And I try to spend as much time as I can off the floor. Now, I'm not the oldest dude in the world. I'm 49 years old. I just turned 49 a couple weeks ago.

But I'm at the age where I wake up in the morning, and years of football and being a baseball catcher have made my body feel like Joe Biden's. So I got a lot of aches and pains. I probably need knee surgery that I never got. I've had a rotator cuff problem. I've had frozen shoulder. I'm a mess, dude. I'm a total mess. So if you get me on this floor right now, I'm going to be like the old Life Call commercial.

SPEAKER_2 (1:30)

I've fallen, and I can't get up.

SPEAKER_1 (1:34)

That doesn't sound like a wellness trend to me. That sounds like being in trouble.

Allison (1:42)

And now, okay, this will make you feel better, then.

An elderly woman, an old lady in Pennsylvania, her name's Carolyn, had a bizarre confrontation with what you would call an Uber Eats delivery robot. Uh-oh. This is in Philly.

SPEAKER_1 (1:58)

Oh, no.

Allison (1:58)

Last week, she repeatedly blocked the robot's path and ignored multiple commands from officers to move.

SPEAKER_2 (2:08)

I know that they're taking the jobs of human delivery workers.

And so I have been protesting them whenever I saw them by standing in front of them and preventing them from going forward. I think it's my First Amendment right to publicly demonstrate the public sidewalk, my protest against delivery robots.

Allison (2:31)

Are you okay with old lady Carolyn protesting and blocking Uber Eats delivery bots?

SPEAKER_1 (2:38)

No, because I would be the guy that's just waiting on his McNuggets.

I just want my McNuggets. I want my McRib. But instead, I got old-ass blue-haired Carolyn over here.

Carolyn's blocking the robot. I've got a First Amendment right. You've got a right to protest, but you don't have a right to block business transactions. You just don't have the right to do that. And this sounds like that's what you're trying to do. Now, would I be the bad guy if I went over there and just went off on old granny? If I just popped off at the mouth of Carolyn and said, move your moo moo and get the hell out of the way?

Allison (3:14)

You would.

SPEAKER_1 (3:15)

Well, I'm sorry. I'd be the bad guy then. A scar face would say, say hello to the bad guy. Don't you shake your head at me, Allison. Why am I the bad guy?

Because this old bag is blocking my food delivery.

Allison (3:27)

I don't know.

SPEAKER_1 (3:28)

It's just you're just a very aggressive man.

Thank you. I'll wear that with a badge of honor.
