3:03The room just feels different. I've been thinking about that lately. And for me, that's what pura is really about. Not just adding fragrance to a space, but shaping how a room feels is second you walk into it. Parah is a smart home fragrance diffuser, but the smart part isn't really about the tech. It's about what it does to a room. I can choose from hundreds of premium fragrances from brands I already love, then set the scent, intensity, and schedule right from my phone. The space responds to me, not the other way around. And honestly, the diffuser itself looks like something you'd intentionally put on a shelf.

4:04And you all never would have known that I made that mistake. We're going to keep it rolling because yes, we do all of these live tapes. So yes, it is Sunday, September 6. I misspoke about the date. And a lot of people seem to be misspeaking about the name of a particular lake in the United States right now. Well, it's on the border of the US and Canada. Is it Lake Ontario? Or is it Lake America? It depends on certainly who you ask these days. And with that, welcome to this Sunday, September 6th episode of Amy and TJ. Rob, this was a, we kind of a dismissive story. Trump's renaming something again. But a very fun part of this story became the very first company. And we probably ever used to help us get directions. You had to go to MapQuest. You had to put in both addresses. It gives it to you. You had to print it out and go on your road trip. That's old school. But now MapQuest is back, baby. Yeah, it is back. I didn't know they were still around. I'll be honest. I actually did.

5:04I used their website. That's incredible. All right. Yes, I used to go on to MapQuest. It was without a doubt. And this, we're talking 20 years ago, printing it out, doing all those things. But now MapQuest became this week the number one app on Apple's App Store for the first time in the company's 30 year history. Why you ask? Because they refused to change the name of Lake Ontario. Isn't that something? Something that simple and they weren't mean about it. We'll share what they said. And you might have seen this, but Rob, this is huge. The company has been around 30 years. Rob, who are they behind? Google Maps and even Apple has its own map and all this stuff. People use those for their GPS. I didn't even, I did not know that MapQuest did have an app. Makes sense that they would. But Robes, to think that it shot up to number one, what did, it said something to me about the country. It didn't seem, this didn't seem like such a divisive issue.

6:07It seemed like everybody kind of understood this was ridiculous and not something we should be focused on. Yes, because, and look, to have President Trump sign another executive order changing the name of another body of water to something with a morica on it. Look, I understand a lot of people might applaud that, but I do think a lot of other Americans might cringe at that because yes, when you go around the world and you travel and you're an American, everything, frankly, this administration does or however we do it, especially when it's a response to other countries or us being more important or the number one or just this mentality that Americans are thought to have. Yeah, it's a little embarrassing. So to see a company, an American company, stand up to what some people might believe is a bullying tactic, a global bullying tactic. If you, we don't like somebody, we'll just change the name to America. And so, yes, to have MapQuest go online and say, just say, we're not changing it. I believe that was what they said on it. That's it. We're not changing it. That's it. And they became number one. Hundreds of thousands of people downloaded MapQuest's app who didn't like me, even know

7:12it existed. And that's a pretty cool thing. And then they followed up a little bit later and said, I thought this was funny. We're not changing the name of Lake Ontario, name it whatever you want at your leisure, leisure. And then they included a map. Lake, are we doing this again? Just they're having fun with it. They're not being mean. They are, I don't know who are they're social media person, but this is what we often have to do. We should do. You nail it without being nasty. They nailed what everybody's thinking. Are we really doing this? We're at war with Iran. Lake America just because we disagree with the nicest people in the world. How do you pick a fight? They Irish. Yeah. I guess it began. Next up, you Irish people, you're so awful. They're so nice. Canadian. Those actually just been those are the last two countries I believe we've been to. Oh my God. Outside of America. It was Ireland and Canada. And we're like, they're the two nicest, least offensive people.

8:13The Irish are so hospitable. The Canadians are just nice. They're not here to upset anybody to rock the boat. Why you got to pick a fight with Canada? Okay. Who is listening? I'm trying to, I always say leave room for this. But Roads, who is proud? Have you heard people really raising the flag for hell? Yes. We should change the name. It shouldn't be Lake Ontario because Canada did something to us, the offensive. I don't know who those people are. If they're out there, I'm sure they are. I haven't met them or spoken to them. But it's true. Why are we picking fights with our neighbors as well? The whole notion like, don't shit where you eat. These are our neighbors, Mexico and Canada. So now instead of the Gulf of Mexico, we have the Gulf of America. Now instead of Lake Ontario, we have Lake America. Why are we doing this to the people who we actually trade the most with in the world? And share a border with. Like why pick fights with those people? I'm trying to leave space and trying to understand and I just haven't heard the argument from any one other than the president.

9:15Why this is necessary? Why we should do it. Why it's important? Why it should be a focus? Why it just, it seems so incredibly talented. Childish? It does. Yes. I just, this is major. He's not an executive order, folks. The president's side and executive order after, guess we're in a trade war with Canada and a real war with Iran, but sign an executive order, changing the name to Lake America from Lake Ontario. Now, rogue, we should say, he can change how the United States is supposed to use it, but you're not officially changing it for the rest of the world. Nobody else has under any obligation to start referring to it as Lake America and they are made clear in Canada, they're not going to do so. We should say that, but there are companies like Apple, like Google, who have these maps, robes, who can make a decision to whether or not they're going to update their maps. Take me back to Gulf of America, Gulf Mexico. Did everybody get on board immediately? Well, I thought, if I recall, I thought it was the AP that took the stand and they then

10:20got banned from the Oval Office. They were not allowed to press and a reporter or a photographer into the Oval Office because they refused to acknowledge in their writings the Gulf of America. They kept referring to it as the Gulf of Mexico. So, yes, there is pressure that the administration has put on organizations, news organizations, and mapping companies or internet companies to follow what Trump has decreed the new name is. And then on this one, I think Google was first. They changed it pretty immediately. Apple was a little slow on the Lake of America and yes, AP reported that the president did no, they didn't report. Bergman, the Interior Secretary, flat out went on Fox News and said, yes, the president called Apple and pressured them and asked them to do this and sure enough, they were a little late, but they did do it. Mapquest did not. So they put out their statements, robes, they got everybody's attention. They had to follow up, you just talked about. And then the last one they did here, at least for his social media, I thought was the

11:24funniest and most well done. Yes. So this is a few days later, they put this out on X. We are aware that Lake Ontario is being correctly labeled on our map. Hilarious. We got to hire this person. It's perfect. That's the right tone. Perfect. It's the right tone. And I like what you pointed out. It's not mean. No. It's not angry. It's not accusatory. It's just simply stated and perfectly put. And I assume, well, obviously, we get some pushback from some mega folks and some folks on the rise, Trump supporters. And that's how they answered them. Yes, we're getting your messages. And yes, we are aware that we have correctly labeled. That is, Rob, you know, I respect, I respect, Petty. This is a high level stuff. I love this. And yet it still came off as kind. It did. Thank you for the heads up. Thank you. We are aware. We did notice ourselves. It is correctly labeled. Good job. I'm going to download their app now. I'm actually going to get it.

12:25So Canada initially, Robes, I thought this was important to give a little history. So we're changing the name of Lake Ontario according to President Trump because we just got pissed at Canada and they have an Ontario up there. So we don't want to lake here. It's called Ontario because of that. Because we're not going to be doing business with Ontario. I believe is what he said. We're America. Because we're America. You say that. But this was a statement from Corny, the Prime Minister. Again, I thought this, you know what? This is so typical Canadian. It was kind. It just gives you a little history. The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendart word Ontario, which appropriately means the lake is beautiful, the lake is big. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. They're trading relationships. They're foreign policies. They're national monuments. They're hydrinums. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario, then now and always.

13:31He may as look stupid. Yes. Like you don't understand the history. The name isn't Canadian. It was indigenous peoples that named it before. You had a country and we had a country. The name has just been that. He hit us with history. We look stupid. Absolutely. Yes. Yes, I know. But we as Americans. We do. We do. And then Ontario actually hit back. This seems a little childish, but it's kind of funny. They ended up erecting a massive billboard sign right outside of Lake Ontario. And it just reads, I think in French and English, Lake Ontario now and always. And that's it. How do you, I mean, what are you supposed to do, ropes? That's how they respond it. And I think that's probably should be the end of it with the president. Here's the other thing. I wonder if he's going to go after it. Robs, there are, I think, a dozen cities in the United States named Ontario.

14:34I believe we have an Ontario, New York, don't we? I know there's an Ontario, California. There's, they're all, what should we do with them? And as, as the Canadian Prime Minister pointed out, it's an indigenous name. And we are a land that was founded by indigenous peoples that we stole it from. So I mean, look, again, we could go back to the Denali thing too. It's like some of these names aren't actually from governments. They're from the peoples who came before us. Should we not honor that? That you mentioned Denali. Stay here, folks. We will. Yes. Bring back up Denali. And we will tell you all the other things the president has named or renamed. Do you have some of them have his name? Still trying to rename, but things are trying to rename. And also the other two very big things. He says he wants to rename on one of them. He says he's just joking though. But is he? Is he? We don't buy it.

15:35We manage work, kids, appointments, bills, basically we keep everything moving. So if someone steals our identity, the last thing we need is another full time job, filling out forms and chasing down accounts. I mean, he can take months to restore ID theft on your own.

All right, we continue here on Amy and TJ. Was he joking, ropes? He wants to name an ocean after America. Was he just joking on that? He might be joking, but when he says things, I tend to believe that there is some truth to it. So yes, he said, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now all we need is an ocean. Maybe we'll have to change the name of the Atlantic or the Pacific. Maybe we'll change them both. That's scary, because I can't say for sure that he is kidding. America Ocean? Oh my God. The America Atlantic.

20:48What would you call it? The America Ocean. The ocean of America. Yeah, you mentioned. He's ocean of America. Maybe. He's just joking, all right? The other one he mentioned, the straight-up hormones. Trump's straight. Didn't he put out a AI thing of that? Yes, I believe he did. And then he did say he did say he was joking on that one. Because that would be impossible or not. Who laughed the most when they heard the Iranian leadership? Of course. But the other stuff, brobes, the most famous one. Actually, the star was the Denali in Alaska, right? Yes. Changed it back to Mount McKinley. It was originally Denali, it was changed to McKinley. Was it Obama? It was changed it back to Denali, which he said to the indigenous people. Yes. And then Trump came back in and put it back to McKinley. McKinley. So that's what we are now. So next administration. Who knows? It'll be back to Denali. It's funny. Anyone who likes to hike, and I had this notion, I think I've let it go, to hike the

21:52seven summits. Denali is one of them, and probably one of the more intimidating ones, other than Everest. And it's always just been Denali. Denali, Denali, for hikers, for folks who are adventurous. To think that you need... Maybe. Like, what? No, I can't see Mount McKinley. I still call it Denali, and I just have to wait out a few more years. But so many of those things, Rogue, do it. It seems like something is being taken away from a minority group. Yes. On some of these. So the most famous one, of course, the Trump Kennedy Center. We don't know what's going to ultimately happen, but he put his name in front of that. Probably should get. The Department of Defense. Department of War. Yeah, they call it that, even though Congress has to officially change it, but this is what they refer to it as. You've mentioned the Gulf of Mexico already. The Institute of Peace in DC, Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace is what they gave that name. You know about the Trump class of battleships. And then a lot of the military bases, they put back to the old names that honor members of the Confederacy.

22:53So there's been a lot of names, James and Brooks. Yes. So Fort Liberty, back to Fort Bragg. Yes. There's a bunch of ships that had that paid homage to either gay leaders or black leaders that they have unnamed, basically. And so they've taken away names from DEI, greats, because I don't know why. And there were its DEI, greats, yes. Yes, I mean, yes, that's fair. I would never say that. They were all remarkable folks in and of themselves, but because they were minorities or they say, I don't know, what's the idea behind it? They were given some sort of special honor or special privilege because they were not like the others. They defer to ropes. This is what DEI, this is the argument all the time that only a black person, if you are in a position of high rank or authority or power, you only got it because of a blessing that was given to you by a white person because you were a charity case. We all do this and we experience this. You're the token. There was a kid, actually a character on South Park, who was black.

23:55They called him token. His name is token on the show. This is just a thing, but it's being institutionalized now. We are actually able to say, if you are a minority, you are only there because of a DEI policy. So we're getting rid of the DEI policies and we're getting rid of minorities. And getting rid of any, any honoring of said minorities because it was not earned. It's only there because you're black or because you're this or because you're that or because you're a woman. That's the idea behind. It's in a name, apparently, everything. Yes, but you know what? These can all be undone. That's the thing. And look, I don't want to do that. Go back and forth. We're going to change the name of the Trump Kennedy Center when there's a Democrat and back of foil. And just so it's like whatever the hell you want to call America, whatever you want to call it, or Lake Ontario. But tune in this week. We'll see what else gets, gets changed. As always, we appreciate you folks on this Sunday, September the 6th.
