All thanks to the Live Nation The Fresh Show is on.
I ordered some instacart you know, groceries to come to
my house later this morning because I got to work
out today with Body by Gideon, and I need like

(00:44):
bananas and stuff I don't know. I need like, you know,
vegetables and on and like sandwich meat, you know, so
I don't know. I cannot die in this thing. And
they brought me everything I boiled that I saw the receipt.
It hasn't arrived yet. They brought me everything except the
sandwich meat. So I have bread and cheese, but they

(01:05):
decided that they didn't have sand I guess they didn't
have the sandwich meat I wanted. Uhuh, and I'd put
alternatives in there. They didn't have any sandwich. But I'm like,
so you and I appreciate the person who's shopping and
thank you for doing it for me. And it's may
I pay for the service. I pay annually for the service.
It's very convenient, But like you didn't look at that

(01:26):
and say, this guy probably needs sandwich meat. Like he's
obviously trying to make a sandwich. There's you know, tomatoes
and lettuce and cheese and bread and mustard. He ordered
all that, So let's make sure that we just don't
try real hard on the on the meat.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Oh that makes me so mad.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
And I promise they had something. Don't like the option?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Make you send another option?

Speaker 1 (01:52):
There were there were other options or closest option. It
says that in there. But I'm just like, I don't
expect you. I get it, like you're doing this all day.
You're not analyzing people's you know, but if you go
to like the mustard section and you go to the
bread section and you go to the cheese section, we're
missing something. We're missing something.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I have a theory.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, I think they do it on purpose because I
have to order again. You have to order again. So
now that gives me another task, because you're right, because
I'm not gonna do it today. I'm gonna have to
wait till I need more stuff. But I'm gonna have
to probably do it tomorrow or just get my lazy
ass and go buy some sandwich meade because otherwise I
got bread and cheese and mustard and that's not a
great sandwich. Makes me so mad, but I just I'm
just like, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys come on and

(02:35):
they say the delis. The deli is open. It is open.
I know what, I know where I ordered from. It
is open. It's open like all the time. Anyway, I
just like, you know it would have been. So now
I'm I having bread sandwich, banana sandwich when I get home.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
On your way out, exactly, it's a very good clue.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
I forget to go down to the little mini grocery
store to get across the street. I forget about that
place I can go in there.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
You're right, thing, Yeah, I mean, it's very frustrating, but
sometimes if I forget something, I go back there and.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
I'm the lazy one who won't go to the grocery store.
So it's my fault. But at the same time, like, guys.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
Now, let's use our HUDs.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Like you can very clearly see or I've done it before,
where like I'm trying to make out something and like
the star of the dishes, the salmon, or the star
of the dishes, the whatever, and they bring me everything
but that so I have all the spices, what am
I supposed to do? Pour those on my tongue and
pretend I's like to imagine that there's protein. I'm like you, guys,
like we got to use a little ingenuity here, just

(03:31):
a little bit, like we got it knas you know,
it's my fault, though, I just want to be clear,
it's my fault first world problems. It's my fault that
I'm going to eat a bread sandwich later. How your
significant other's name is saved in your phone speaks volumes
about your relationship apparently, so I before I tell you
what that means, I'll just go left to right. I

(03:52):
would start with myself. I don't have a partner, so
I can't I can't answer this. How is Big Tim
saved in your phone? Big tim Yes, says it.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Really depends on the day. I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
You change his name on your phone?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yes, honey. If he makes me upset, that number is
not saved.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Okay, you unsaved the man's number who lives with you.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Or I change it to his mother's name and it
just says her son.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Uh huh, so and so.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
So you will take the time to go into your
phone book and change the way someone's written. Yes, The
only way I'm changing someone's name in my phone is
if either I'm erasing them or if I want to
put something in there to identify, not to answer them
like no. The problem putting no is that if you
have more than one no, then you don't know which
no it's calling.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Now that's wild. You don't even know who's calling. That's
that's extreme.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
I will delete people's number. I will not. I'm not
gonna take the time to go in the phone. Will
could change it to I hate this person?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Why change it? Because it's of It makes you feel
a way.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
When that number pops up, it's like, look at this clown,
you know, like it says, you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Your therapy, I got it. He lives there it's better
than change.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Like some people go and change their Facebook name, like
a lot of my Mary friends. They'll go from like
Kaylen Jane Jones to Kaylin Marie because they won't they'll
drop their last name to show like they're mad and
I love watching that.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:23):
Or some people will change their relationship status or go
vent on Facebook face doing all that.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I just changed your name in my phone and laugh
when you call.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
It text me the place where people are crying for
help constantly. You just have to be able to decode it. Yes,
Like I know someone who's having a little bit of
tough a little bit of difficulty in their relationship, and
now one side is all just pictures of that person
and the kids and and intentionally without the person and
they're not they're not They're still together. But I'm just
I'm noticing the passive aggressiveness of It's like I'm just

(05:54):
going to keep posting pictures without this person in it.
And it's almost like are you are you inviting people
to ask you why which you are? Or when you
post on there like I need extra prayers today, It's
like now, now, okay, fine, I give you extra prayer,
Like what am I praying about you know, and then
you I think it just draws people in, people start
calling you, texting you. It's attention seeking, you know, It's

(06:17):
like what cryptic message are you trying to send through Facebook?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
So you need to do that.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
I just I feel like, especially if you've been together
for a really long time and you've let people like
and you have to be like real, like sure that,
like your relationship is like over before you start. Like
I posted a Sam Hunt song once that's called break
Up in a Small Town, and I just I like
this song, and like his brother was like in boxing me,

(06:42):
like what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Like, what's wrong?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
I'm like, I'm not breaking up.

Speaker 7 (06:45):
I've been dating your brother for a decade, so like
I'm not bringing up with them on Facebook.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Cayley, you never posted a meme or a song or
anything on social media that was intended to you know,
that had a double meaning.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I'm sure I have, but I do not in my relationship,
Like I would never put that out I would ever
think to do that. I would do something more like
between us, but I'm not going to do something public
like that.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Well what do you mean, what would you do?

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I don't know, Like hide all his sock one of
his socks or something. I don't know, you know, like
why would do.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Like psychological warfare just between Yeah, I'm not doing that.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
One of your socks, right, you know, take the toilet
paper or something.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
You know, what is what is he in your phone?

Speaker 2 (07:30):
As you're same but there is a photo?

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Oh yeah? Does that mean something out of that council anyway?

Speaker 3 (07:36):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
It's just like a little extra effort, you know.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
I think people have dated have always been in my
phone as either either their name or their name in
the dating app that I met them. If you type
in hinge in my phone, I've got a lot of
hinges in there. I got a lot of hinges. Oh yeah,
I got a lot of shyes to differentiate between you
know and so and so that I know from another city. Yeah, yeah,

(08:00):
I got a lot of those, or a lot of ass.
I got some azies in there, because when I'm in Easy,
you know, the Jessica in in the Shy is different
from the Jessica when I'm in Raleigh, which is different
from the Jessica when I'm in West Palm, which is
way different from the Jessica when I am.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
In why not you got Jessica in every city?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Certainly, I certainly do. I got a Jessica everywhere you
want to go.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
But he has a black heart next to my name.
I don't know what that means. I just asked him,
So a black heart black heart?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay, what is uh? Mike the mechanic thought he's just
Mike f Yeah, because I had a lot of mics and.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
You go.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
But I think what he has me saved is better.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's Jason Brown gay like because like he would like
to see people and he's supposed to the Jason Brown
that he knows that's straight.

Speaker 7 (08:54):
He knows a straight one, but he would like save people.
And then he was like meeting that work customers, but
live't think of nothing else.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
She just gay.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
After that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Do you have anyone in your phone? And we've talked
about this before, but their name and then some kind
of identifying feature like I once had Becky big boobs.
I did have Becky big boobs. Oh yeah, that was
a real that was real because her name was Becky
and she indeed had large.

Speaker 7 (09:23):
I mean, if it makes sense, yeah, if it'll help you,
honestly know, it's more just like where like you like
where I meet people in mind, no more like physical
places versus like okay, dating apps. But I don't think
I have any like so and so grinder or anything
in my phone.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Well I would hope that it's been fourteen years. You
should not being grinder any Get off there, Paulina.

Speaker 8 (09:43):
I'm just boring old Paulina here and I have him
saying to her husband. He just says husband. I mean
he's been through a lot of phases as well, like obviously,
like when we first started dating, or like when we
met it was you know, hobby whatever, which, by the way,
I learned that he's a why not an I so
ja v Y So I used to have j A
v I for a long time.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, I know how dare I was crazy?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Well because j A v I E R is that
he spells it right correct, I've seen that.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, So he's just husband now.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
But like Keky said, I mean there are days where
husband is not husband. Husbands do not answer my husband
is baby daddy like husband would be a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
I've never taken the time when I'm mad at someone,
I don't take the time to go in I don't
even know it would take me a second to figure
out how to do that. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, no, I mean I respect it, I'm inspired, but I.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Mean it's just a good feeling.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
When you see like goofy clown, is it a good
feeling or do you realize, Yeah, that guy sleeps in
my bag. Yeah, and he's a goofy clown.

Speaker 5 (10:40):
That's what I'm calling you, like, I'm calling you look
at this, Look at this goofy clown? Call it and
then well, you know, I mad anymore goes back to
like bay.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well, your partner's contact name on your phone gives insight
into your relationship. According to a psychotherapist, since the name
on our phone is a visual symbol of our partner
and a reminder of our relationship with them, then using
personal jokes you nicknames can affect a deeper or more
intimate connection. If our partner uses our full name like
they would for any other contact and puts gay after

(11:08):
it means they're gay, we might feel that they don't
attribute additional value to our communication. I think we're reaching now,
I think we're really reaching. Like if you if you're
in my phone as first and last name and I'm
dating you, I don't think that that should be of
any concern to you. Like, we don't like that.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
What do you meet your name?

Speaker 4 (11:29):
No, you don't need, first of all, how many Kalin's
you know. Let's let's say first.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Of all, because we're not dating anymore Klein.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
So I but like my last name really, Like I'm just.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think you're just Klin in my phone because I
only know one. But I'm just saying, like if I
met you in some kind I mean, you know, because
you meet someone and I don't know, you gave me
you're an info and I put your name in my contacts,
I don't go change the contact or the style of
the contact because I'm dating you now. It is what
it is.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
We've slept together. You can't have my last name in there.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
I have a couple of big one in it as
I just haven't changed the name back from how I
had to change the name in my phone book in
order to still have a friendship with this person because
of the person I was dating before. Like I have
a female friend. I have a couple of female friends,
but I have one in particular who I have slept with.
But we're cool. I wouldn't sleep with her when I'm

(12:20):
in a relationship, because that's cheating, so I wouldn't do that,
but she'd text me, and it got to the point
where I was basically being told I couldn't even interact
with this person anymore. So I changed her name to
a male name in my phone, and she still is
a male name in my life. I just haven't changed it back.
But it's like, I'm not gonna not be friends with
this person because I'm not doing anything wrong. You know,

(12:41):
you haven't the other person you met this person yet,
So I changed it to a male name, So then
no problem.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
How did your girl know you slept with her?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
Because I think she asked me who It was like
who is so and so? And I was like, oh,
we used to date and we're just cool, and it
was like, oh no, no, none of that. I'm like,
we mean none of that. She's to evaporate now because
like I don't know, we're cool, Like I don't, I mean,
and this person still talk to her ex. So I'm like,
I don't you know what I mean? Like, ill, who

(13:11):
are you to tell me that I can't? I only
casually dated and occasionally you know, boom boom with that person.
I wasn't. I didn't live with that person, like you're
the person you're texting, you know, So I'm just how
about if we're in a relationship, how about if we
just how about we just trust each other because we
in a relationship and like we can't, we can't make

(13:32):
everybody go away who we used to know. I wish
we could. I wish we trust me. I wish I
wish that the second thing you met the person he
was supposed to be with, that all of the knowledge
that you've gained from dating other people, all the good knowledge,
like all the tricks, tips and tricks, all those things
you could remember, but everything else was erased, and you're
the only thing they ever could think about. I wish

(13:52):
that were a thing that you had that you had
amnesia about everybody but me. But you also remembered how
to do that thang, you know what I mean. So
you remember how to do that thang, but you don't
remember how you learned the thing totally attainable. I think.

Speaker 4 (14:06):
So, Yeah, how about you're onto something.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
O zempic that does that, yeah and makes your thing bigger? Okay,
lot of different places. Honestly, I think I'm onto something
let's get You're in a different kind of lab, Kiki,
Let's get in the lab.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Let's work on this weight loss that gives you amnesia
about everyone that you've dated before the person you're with now,
but you still remember the tips and tricks, and it
makes whatever you want to be bigger bigger and whenever
you want to be small or smaller, this is great.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
Hey, I'll be a lab for that one. You said big,
I'm there.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, and again it apparently I read last week it's
coming in pill form now ozembic. Is that's the case.
Now we're talking, no objecting myself. That's one way. That
is one way for it. People who were like, because
here's the thing. I have lost weight and I've kept
the weight off and I know, thank you, And I
already know because I do it in my head. I

(15:06):
know what everybody says anytime anyone loses weight. Now it's oh,
it's ozembic. It's impossible that you're actually working for it.
You know, it's oh, it must be ozempic. Because there
are a lot of people out there who are who
don't need ozebic, who are taking it because it's too
lazy to work out and no, no, I need you.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
To know that I am not you post those gym videos.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
I am not yeah, taking that route, And for some
people that's the only they're gonna lose weight. If you're older,
you're diabetic, whatever. It is great by all means, but
that's that's the only unfortunate thing about this ozempic these
days is that I feel like everybody who looks healthy
now it's oh, well, they must be taking ozembic secretly.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
No, I'm not a secret.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
Public So you've been very public with your Everybody knows you,
and good.

Speaker 9 (15:58):
If you.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
But if you're actually like if you're really eating, like okay, Chase,
you're not an Olympic, right not? And I know you've
been watching your diet. I know you haven't been drinking soda. Yeah,
I know you've made a lot of like conscious choices
to lose weight. So you're doing all this, it's not
that much fun. Everybody knows it. And so even if
even though it's a compliment, if someone's like, oh, he
must be an Ozmpic because it means you're skinny, you're

(16:19):
at the same time you're like, wait a minute, right,
I'm having to eat sticks over here or you know,
or nothing at all, eating air right and you over
here saying, oh, he must just be popping a pill
and that's.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
Not that that that's not cool. No, yeah, but it's
it's okay. As long as they feel better. You can
think whatever you want. But I want someone I would
like them to be like, oh wait, like oh my god,
like are you are you okay?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Like whatever?

Speaker 7 (16:42):
Like amount crist like worry about me.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
So anyway, this this thing goes on and on, and
some people may stick to saving a person's real name
or save a number, or not save a number at all.
And that's for pessimistic reasons. When we take a measure
like this, we're incorporating an element of protection. After all,
if we save someone's name, there's a risk that we
might need to change or delete it if the relationship

(17:08):
doesn't work out. No, I just don't take the time
to save you until I think I'm gonna need to.
I mean, I'm not saving your phone number unless like
I'm gonna be talking to you regularly. I din't bother really,
So it's not it's not it's nothing to do with
this person's good. This psychiatrist or psychologist whoever they ask
is going into insecure, anxious, preoccupied, seeking reassurance and effect

(17:30):
all this blah blahlah. No, that is some of that.
If I save your number, that means this might be
going somewhere.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
What are we in your phone house?

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Geniuses? Yes, genius one two three, gay genius genius. There
Marion's girlfriends, thank you. There's hobbies, h girlfriend. Yeah, if
you're driving to work right now and maybe kids around

(18:00):
you can't do this. I want to talk to the
people who are like, my kid's kind of a dumb ass.
Oh my god, like even have to say it like that,
but you know what I mean, like, yeah, everybody love,
everybody knows, everybody knows the parent, and it's more than

(18:21):
not that it's like my kid is exceptional the teachers
are saying, or like with sports, because I have friends
now who have kids that are four or five, six seven,
like they're getting into this stage where they're beginning to
see what they're made of. And I don't have very
many people in my life who are like everybody's oh
my god that the t ball coaches are saying this,

(18:41):
the scouts are watching him over there were scouts, I
don't know that he's even going to I think he
might go t ball right to the majors. Like, and
we're having these conversations and I'm like, really, dude, you know,
or it's like this, the teachers are saying that this
kid is exceptional, like honestly, like the teachers are saying
they've never seen intelligence like this before. You know. But

(19:01):
very rarely do you hear somebody say a parent, go, honestly,
we're we're truly hoping to get through the day. We
very rarely hear that. I'd love to hear it, if
anyone's willing to be like, I love my child deeply,
but I have serious concerns. I'd love to hear it.

(19:25):
I wrapped this up. The nine hundred and eighteen people
they played Monopoly to break the world record. How much
time did they have? It's for a good cause, though,
I mean, is anyone ever finished a Monopoly? That's maybe
a topic in itself. Has anyone finished a Monopoly game
in the history of the world? Is there ever an end?
Where is the end to Monopoly? I've played you win
well because you can keep buying stuff, you can keep
building stuff. What is it if you run out? If

(19:45):
everyone runs out of money except for you. You're the
only one left with money. I guess I've never ever
been close to that. A total of nine hundred and
eighteen people sat down at one hundred and fifty tables
to play simultaneous games of Monopoly to break a Guinness
World Record in Australia. The record attempt was organized by
the The Little Legs Foundation, a charity that raises funds and
awareness for children with brain cancer, which is a great cause.

(20:05):
So why by all means it's good to know your
Customer's day? It's National Haiku Poetry Day and National Ellis
Island Family History Day. Is talking to someone who's actually
willing to admit.

Speaker 7 (20:16):
No, but Marta and Linda Brown get off, Get off
the line, Marta and Leywan and never.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Hey, Lisa, Yes, your kids a dummy kind of kinda.

Speaker 10 (20:29):
He's looking at me funny right now?

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Oh you're there, Al, he's there for this.

Speaker 11 (20:35):
I did to school.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
I did say don't do it in front of your kid.
I did suggest that.

Speaker 12 (20:40):
I told him I should call him.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
He said, yeah, you should.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Now explain to me how old is is this child, Lisa?

Speaker 13 (20:48):
He's thirteen.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
He's thirteen and he's dumb sort of.

Speaker 10 (20:53):
He's one of those smart dummy.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
What does that mean.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
Kids like he's on Honor Roll?

Speaker 14 (21:01):
Right, No, but listen, this is the same kid who
thought that the slave days were the eighties.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
Oh okay, so history is not little mixed up his
thick Okay, I understand, yes, I you know the confusion.
My my knowledge of geography, history, common sense has ever
been there. However, I was on honor Roll, so I'm.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
No, wow wow, okay, So so maybe not doesn't have
all the facts straight.

Speaker 14 (21:28):
He's up my freshman yearbook picture and thought that everything
was in black.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
And white then because it just so happened to have
been in black and white.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, this year books, you're oftentimes in black and white. Yeah, okay,
all right, Well, I wish him the best with supportive
parents like you.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I don't know, I mean, is he the only child?
Do you have another hope?

Speaker 12 (21:48):
He has an older sister?

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh? Do we have more hope for her? Think it's
as be your fault because there's only one of you
and two and m.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Okay, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Glad you called right there? Hey Ricky, Oh my god,
how's it going? Hey, Ricky? So this is real talk here.
You say, you know how many kids you have?

Speaker 11 (22:23):
I got four all together.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Now you have four kids, and you can look at
these kids, and I think it's just very honest. And
you can look at the kids and you can tell
which ones are going to succeed in which ones you
have questions about. Correct.

Speaker 11 (22:34):
I got my oldest one. Now, she's really smart, really
book smart, not just not not super street smart. Okay,
you got my firstborn son, he's uh, oh, that's such say,
he's probably gonna go to trade school.

Speaker 15 (22:47):
School's not for everybody.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
There's nothing wrong with the money.

Speaker 11 (22:54):
And then I got his younger brother. He's, uh, that's
the lazy one. He's a smart one, but he's the
lazy one.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
Okay, if he.

Speaker 11 (23:01):
Applied himself, he'd be pretty special.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Okay, all right, so waste waste youngest potential.

Speaker 11 (23:06):
My youngest Yeah, my youngest one is only three months.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Oh so we don't know. So we don't know yet.
It's a toss up that one could go either way.
But schools.

Speaker 11 (23:19):
School is not for everybody. I mean, I was in
the same bowl with my siblings. I'm the youngest one,
and I was lazy, but I was all right and
then yeah, my middle brother, well, same thing. It's not
School's not for everybody.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Rick's honest, It's honest, Ricky. Thanks, you have a good day.
Thank you, thank you for I thought he was gonna
tell me my three my three months old is mensa
or something like. Okay, now come on, how do you
know he's not very honest? I mean, I'm sure as
a parent, you can look at your kid, you love
them more all equally, hopefully except for Lisa, she doesn't.
But and you can be like, look, I think this

(23:54):
one is you know, this one has the potential to
be an accountant or a scientist or a doctor, and
this one doesn't. No, I gotta be honest as a parent.
If I were a parent, I think I would want
I mean, you of course want streets smart, and you
want it all right, yeah, but I would be happy
with enough enough intelligence to get you through school, you know,
such a we don't have issues. But I think I

(24:15):
would want a heavy emphasis on the street smarts. I
think that's what that would be. I could trade every
day because if I had a genius kid that like
couldn't put his or her own shirt on or something,
you know what I mean, Like we have a like
that's gonna be challenging. I want my kid to have both, yeah,
comins ideally smart enough to not be stupid, but also

(24:39):
enough that I can I can push you out of
the door and I don't have to worry that. You
know that you're not gonna get taken advantage of or
scammed or whatever. Hey, Kaylee Lordon, so this is what
the this is what Bellatype did, and you tell me
this is right, says Kaylee. Adopted her sister and realized
she's kind of dumb that Lena is that. Now, tell

(25:03):
me tell me more, a little bit more for me,
just if you could expound on that a little bit.

Speaker 10 (25:08):
So I told her it was about a chapter book.

Speaker 16 (25:10):
But I'm sitting here thinking, I'm like, those are other
things that added up to geez.

Speaker 10 (25:14):
I should have recognized the sign.

Speaker 13 (25:18):
One was one day we were going to Chick fil
A and she.

Speaker 10 (25:21):
Was like, how come Chick fil a is an Indian food?
And I was like, what are you talking about right now?

Speaker 2 (25:26):
And she was like, you know the three dots that
they put on letters.

Speaker 10 (25:30):
In India, Why isn't it Indian food?

Speaker 15 (25:32):
And it's chicken?

Speaker 13 (25:32):
And I was like, oh, my god, not an Indian
dot and the letters.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Oh boy, So we have one number of issues and
another one right now. So yeah, huh.

Speaker 10 (25:49):
And she came to me while I was at work
and brought me a gift and.

Speaker 13 (25:52):
I was like, oh my gosh, thank you so much.

Speaker 14 (25:54):
She was like, yeah, happy Veterinarians Day.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
And I'm like, what.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Veterans Day? Wow? So we have some history to learn.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
And we have some okay, yeah, the signs are there.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Ye oh boy. All right, Leen, we got a lot
of issues here, Kaylee, I wish I wish you well
with that. Okay, thank you? Wow, Okay, we needed a
little social studies class. Maybe I have no room to
see maybe that's fine. Yeah, okay, one more. Hey, I

(26:29):
mean I just love hearing parents talk about how dumb
there's kids. I have, Bridget Hello, Bridge it high. You
have a thirteen year old yes, no common.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Sense, no common sense whatsoever.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Give me an example.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
In school.

Speaker 6 (26:47):
It's like one of the hardest things for him to
do is like read and like just just normal common sense, right, Like.

Speaker 15 (26:56):
It's a thirteen year old boy.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
But the kid could lay like a hard word floor
like he's like the rain man.

Speaker 16 (27:03):
Okay, Okay, makes us like he needs like military.

Speaker 13 (27:11):
But I told him, like, do military like collages and
take whatever comes to you more than like who You'll
probably be the Army instead of the Marines.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Oh wow, wow, so we just did. We're going to
insult branches of the military now coming here. You're gonna
get me in trouble here.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I love military.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
You're just saying that.

Speaker 10 (27:34):
Okay, family does it.

Speaker 15 (27:36):
My family doesn't.

Speaker 6 (27:37):
But I mean when it comes to him, I'm hoping
for the Army at least.

Speaker 1 (27:43):

The woman who has the world's longest female tongue says
that people screaming shock when they see it. It measures
three point eight inches long. I don't know how many
times she's sticking her tongue out, but it's three point
eighty inches long from the tip to her lips, so
that doesn't include the party inside her mouth.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Wait, how long from the tip to the list?

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Almost four inches three point eight inches, so it's about
this far from here to here. It looks like that, which,
of course everyone can see. You know when I say
it looks like that, because we're on the radio, people
screen hit shock when she shows her lengthy organ same
same come. The California resident Chanelle Tapper reveals that she

(29:24):
enjoys seeing people's reactions. There's a variety of bizarre tricks
she can perform with her extravagantly long tongue, raging from
flipping cups to removing Jenga blocks and holding up soon
by curling her tongue around the utensils. Never been left
waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Show. Brody, good morning,

(29:47):
welcome to the show. How are you, hey, guys, thanks
for having me. Hey, hey, hey, another one does Hey Hey.
I don't know where that came from, but you're welcome.
What's going on, Brody with this woman Maggie? Tell us
how you met about any day you've been on and
then where things are now?

Speaker 15 (30:01):
Yeah, totally so God, Maggie's great. She's I met her
on the hinge and we had this amazing first date.
And you know, my friends always asked me, dude, like,
was that actually a good date or you just hypened
it up? No, this was actually a great date. And
I know that because she kissed me at the end,

(30:23):
you know, like we got to the end, like I
maybe did a slightlying in, but like she went, she
she covered them those systems there.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Okay, so yay, that's right.

Speaker 15 (30:40):
But yeah, and I'll say this, dude, like we started
planning date number two the next day, you know, texting
back and forth, a little flirty. But then out of nowhere,
she just disappears like she unmatched me. She she I
think she blocked my number, Like.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
Wow, Okay, So she goes from leaning in to kiss you,
you know, which I would think would would be really
would say good things. I would say she had a
good time on the date who she's engaging, you know,
in a kiss with you, except for her then from
that point to now to block you and you know,
unfollow you and all these other things and unmatch or whatever.

(31:21):
What happened, right, I mean, what happened between her trying
to kiss you and then this, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I thought it was a five star review right right?

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Ah, that's confusing. I will admit that's confusing. So nothing
else happened that was strained on the data or since
the date. I mean, it's just been pretty much status quo.
You thought you'd reach out and see her again and
that was it.

Speaker 15 (31:41):
Yeah, yeah, nothing out of the ordinary.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, well, let's call this woman Maggie in just a second.
You'll be on the phone, Brody. We're gonna ask these
questions on your behalf of At some point you're welcome
to jump in, and the hope, as always is that
we get straighten this out and then set you up
on another date that we pay for. Sound good, Yeah,
that sounds great? Thanks? Hey Brody, Hey, all right, welcome back.
Let's call Maggie. You guys met on Hinge, the dating app.
You went in a date. You thought the date went

(32:04):
really well. At the end of the day, you know,
you kind of leaned in for a kiss and then
she went in for it and kissed you, which I
mean I would say at the end of a date,
if a woman does that to me, then I would
think she was into me, and I would assume that
I'm going to be seeing her again. You've reached out,
but you've come to realize that you've been blocked and
unmatched and unfollowed and all the things, and you're trying

(32:24):
to figure out what happened between her kissing you and
being blocked. Okay, all right, let's call Maggie now, good luck.

Speaker 10 (32:39):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Hi is this Maggie. Yes, hey, Maggie, good morning. My
name is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred's Show, the
Morning radio Show, and I have to tell you that
we are on the radio right now and I would
need your permission to continue with the call. Can which
that for just a second?

Speaker 15 (32:54):
Yep?

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Okay, Well, thank you so much. I know it's kind
of awkward, but we're calling on behalf of a guy
who says he matched with you on hinge. His name
is Brody, and you guys went out recently. Do you
remember meeting Brody? I do, yes, Okay, so let me
tell you that he described, you know, his day with
you as a great time, and he says there was

(33:15):
chemistry at the end of the date. He even in
his in his mind. I'm not sure if you would agree,
but in his mind you kind of he went in
for a kiss and then you really went for it
like you were into him. Is that does that all
sound right?

Speaker 15 (33:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (33:29):
It did.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I did have a good time that night.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, okay. So he says everything was great and you're
confirming that, except he believes that he's been blocked since
the date and unfollowed and unmatched and all those things.
So what happened? If you had a good time on
the date, then why why have you blocked him? Why
can't he get a hold of you to schedule another one.

Speaker 18 (33:50):
I was just hoping I could just walk away from this,
so I it didn't have anything to do with the date.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
That was totally fine. But I saw him.

Speaker 18 (34:05):
And this wasn't like on purpose or anything. It was
just chance encounter. And I don't think you saw me,
but I saw him. Okay, I don't know how to
put this because we're on there anyway, leaving like like
an adult toy store.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Got it?

Speaker 1 (34:20):
What were you doing? Can we just ask what were
you doing?

Speaker 14 (34:22):
So?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Why are you staking out the protein of the adults?

Speaker 17 (34:29):
In mind?

Speaker 1 (34:29):
It told me for a second, why were you there?

Speaker 18 (34:33):
It's like, okay, so you know how like there are
strip malls and stuff and then you know this, whoever
buy that real estate? You know, I was totally I
was doing something completely different and it just happened to
be next to you when it's a very lam you know, well.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
I wanted to really, I can think of a couple
that are near other things that I would do or
I wasn't going to that store, but I was going,
like to eat or something. And then there's the place,
so I mean, I can think of a few spots
like that. So okay, So you just it just so
happened that you were in the vicinity of this man
Brody and he was walking out of an adult store. Okay,

(35:07):
well he's an adult.

Speaker 19 (35:09):
Yes, And I saw him with like I mean, like
so he bought stuff and he didn't just buy you know,
like one or two things like he had like these massive,
massive bags and it was like two of them, like
one on each arm.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Wow, quite all at the story.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah, okay, I didn't know what you're massive, but I'm glad. Yeah,
and I mean like that that's fine, you know, like
I don't I don't know.

Speaker 15 (35:37):
What you know?

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Yeah, you know what? No, don't can't shame here. We
let our freak flag fly.

Speaker 20 (35:42):
You know.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's cool exactly. Maybe like maybe this could come in
handy on the second date, you know, since things went
so well on the first day. Right, Oh, I am
not a second date.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Wonder I need at least three dates, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 9 (35:54):
Okay, we could leave stuff package until that, you know
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Anyway, I guess I'm not where's the problem here?

Speaker 2 (36:02):
So okay.

Speaker 18 (36:04):
So that's But then there was a guy with him
that was very very obviously not just his friends, if
that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Oh, they were holding hands or something or have we
how do we? How do we know.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
A little bit more than holding hands?

Speaker 1 (36:25):
They just couldn't wait. That's like me when I get
McDonald's fries, Like you think I'm getting all the way
home with those things. Absolutely not. They're gone, right, right, Okay,
so so there was more Hell yeah, so there's there's
nothing left to the imagination, is what you're saying? Whatever

(36:47):
they were doing in the parking lot would lead you
to believe that they were more than friends. We're going
to say that, yes, And I mean, like, that's totally fine.

Speaker 18 (36:54):
But it's like, I don't like, you went on a
date with me, you know, So it's like if that's
already a I was like, I don't want to be
involved in like whatever you are thinking about doing, you know, Like.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
So it's possible that his interests are male and female.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, I'm probably at the same time.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
All right, well, you know what, let's get to the
bottom of this, because I forgot to mention that Brody
is here and he's been very quiet and very patient. Brody.
What you didn't know, I guess is that you there
was a chance encounter between the two of you of
which you were unaware, and so she saw what she
believed to be you in this door and a man
and some other activity. Is that all true?

Speaker 11 (37:31):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Who that is.

Speaker 20 (37:32):
I don't know who. Also, no, it was not you,
I don't I don't, I don't know. I don't know, man, Okay,
well were you now let me ask you this.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Were you recently an adult retail looking with a man
and expressing yourself in a way that might indicate that
you were very obviously more than friends with this man.
Does any of that sound familiar to you?

Speaker 20 (37:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 15 (37:57):
A lot of just seems like invasion of someone's I
have a No, I don't know. I don't.

Speaker 1 (38:03):
I don't, I don't. I can't recall ever ever, No,
do you have Brody? Do you have an interest? I
don't want to pry because it's clear that I don't
think you want to talk about it. So you're saying
it wasn't you, or you're saying it could have been you.
Did anything she say resonate with you at all?

Speaker 20 (38:22):
I don't.

Speaker 15 (38:23):
I don't know, man, it could have been me.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
It could not have been me, like it could have
been like.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
For example, in that particular scenario, it definitely wasn't me.
You know, you know what I'm saying, Like, like, you know,
if you were to describe, if you were to describe
that scenario to me, for example, I could very clearly
and definitively tell you that that wasn't me. And you're
not saying that, and I don't. I'm not trying to

(38:49):
out you. I'm not trying to pressure you. I just
think Maggie thinks she saw something that indicates more about you,
and I think she wants to know if that's if
she saw it correctly.

Speaker 15 (38:59):
That this is this is this is too much, this
is Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. Thank you guys for
your work.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
I'm good. Thank you by oh who oh oh, all right,
well that's thanks Brody.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Uh the right.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Look, I wasn't trying to out anybody, but I think you,
I do think you have a right to know, Maggie,
if you know what your partner is into. And maybe
not on a first date, but I think at some
point he needed to reveal that to you. I think
it's fair. Yes, if you like both genders or whatever
you're into, I think that's a reasonable thing to inform
somebody of it, but maybe not on the first date.

Speaker 18 (39:35):
But also, like, if you already have something with somebody, like,
don't go on a date with somebody.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Else that is that is a part of this. I
hadn't really considered. It's like, well, what is the nature
of that relationship? Right? Well, that's a good point. It's
not even so much that he was with another gender
or his same gender. It's more why, what what's that about?
And you guys obviously were very comfortable with each other.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
You're not about to be like a third.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
I don't want to be a third.

Speaker 18 (39:58):
I don't want to do that.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
I think that's fair too, But again, it won't him.
He didn't think.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
He's not sure.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
He wasn't sure, but he could have been. But it
probably wasn't, but it probably was. Actually, what are the
odds that you saw that?

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I mean, what kind of universal thing was that? That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
I hear what you're saying, though, it's like, okay, well,
you know, maybe if he had said, yeah, that was
me and I also like this, and I also see
this and whatever, maybe if it were there was some
more transparency, then you would feel more comfortable with this.
I just didn't want to pressure him because it doesn't
sound like he wants to reveal whatever that was. But
I see what you're saying. It's like, whoever that is,
it seems very comfortable. You don't need me. Yeah, I

(40:36):
get that, all right, Well he's gone, and and that's
okay because I don't think you didn't want to go
out with him again anyway. So I hey, I wish
him luck, I wish you the best. Elect to Maggie,
thanks for your time.

Speaker 2 (40:47):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
Kiki's going to my hometown this weekend. You're going to Scottsdale, Arizona.
Do you know where you're aren't you? Is it this weekend?

Speaker 2 (40:54):
Phoenix?

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Well, same thing, very close to each other, don't all right?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Maybe my word for it since I grew up there,
But anyway, I love how you're like, You're like, no,
I'm not I'm going to Phoenix, Okay, whatever You're going
to here? You like, like most cities, it's uh, it's
kind of like, uh, they all kind of blend together,
you Phoenix, Scottsdale, Masa, Glendale. I can go on and on,
but they just there. It's all kind of like one

(41:20):
big big thing that separate, kind of like Chicago, kind
of like a lot of places, it's kind of all
just one big thing. There's not a whole lot of separation.
Like you could drive down one road, if you drove
down Scottsdale Road, you could go from Fountain basically from
Fountain Hills Cave Creek all the way to like, I
don't even know where Tassa Grande, and you wouldn't necessarily
even though you left one town and went to the other.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
Oh and it's fring training going on there too. Yeah,
it is my in laws, all the baseball players and
all the grow girl. Okay, not me, like, look at
my lists? Excuse me?

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Can you can me relax?

Speaker 2 (41:54):
I don't know why just did that to her. I
took my tongue and I lift my lips.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Well, remember going to Phoenix, so you know she won't
see them, right if it's in one of the neighboring
city she did, had no idea, So you're going. Do
you know where you're staying in Phoenie? I don't have
to say exactly, because we have psychos that listen. Some
psychos that listen, but we have a couple psychos. I
shouldn't say that of the thirteen, we might have a
psycho that listens. So generally speaking, where are you staying,

(42:19):
like in a big hotel or any airbnb or what
are you doing?

Speaker 2 (42:21):
We're doing an airbnb with a pool in the backyard.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Oh yes, okay, And what kind of activities you have planned?
Because you wrote today that you wanted me to tell
you where to go when you go to my hometown
Ish for this trip. But here's the problem. I don't
know if anyone else is like this who doesn't live
where they grew up. But people ask me all the time,
like because they go to Scottsdale in the spring in

(42:45):
the wintertime because it's warm there, and hey, what do
I do? Where do I eat? I have no idea.
I don't know, no idea. I haven't lived there in
well over twenty years full time. And when I go back,
I hang out with my parents and my friends. I
don't really even go much further than like my name borhood.
So I honestly I have no idea where to tell
you to go. But what do you have planned for
this thing?

Speaker 5 (43:04):
So we're doing like a brunch one day, we're doing
a day at some like indoor adult water park, which
is like a they also have a spot there.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
And an indoor is that like hedonism? Water park is
like every is everyone naked at this thing?

Speaker 15 (43:19):
Like?

Speaker 1 (43:19):
What is it an indoor adult water bark? Ope?

Speaker 5 (43:21):
So I don't know, but it's like they have cabanas,
they have bar you know, yeah, bring you drinks. It
sounds like a resort, but inside a beach club.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Yeah, so we'll do a day there cause.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
I think water park. I think like a gigantic water
slide and just naked grown ups, which would be sort
of a weird thing.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Now why do you hang out?

Speaker 1 (43:41):
Well, you said an adult water park. I mean if
it's adult. If you have to put the word adult
in front of water parks, then I feel like we're
specifying that whatever's going on kids shouldn't see.

Speaker 5 (43:51):
Because I'm trying to make I'm trying to get you
the like the picture a bunch of women by a
pool with drinks in a cabana with a water slide.

Speaker 15 (44:00):
There.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Okay, you're going to like, yeah, you're going to a
day club.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yes, Sky Island Bungalow.

Speaker 9 (44:08):
Oh wait, okay, because in my mind I had like
it's a lazy river there, great wool fledge for grown ups,
you know, like like where you're like naked at the
bottom of the slide and the next guy that comes
down like you guys gotta make out of it.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
I don't know, maybe this is just my fantasy, but
you're say, an adult water park and immediately I'm going
to you know, the kind of place at our friendly
on Rodgers hangs out where everyone's just walking around naked
all the time.

Speaker 7 (44:31):
No, we won't have on swimsuits, just like kids aren't allowed. Yeah,
because it's a bar. He goes straight to naked like,
we get you.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
This looks nice.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
I like my version of it. I like the Kiki's
going to an adult naked porty water park this weekend.

Speaker 15 (44:45):
That's what I like.

Speaker 2 (44:46):
But are you on the slide, this huge slide? You
know I'm not.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
All right, so you're doing that? Are you hanging out
with my mom? Because nothing would surprise me more than
if you went to Arizona and then you wind up
meeting up with mom of Fred and you know, moving
in on my inheritance.

Speaker 18 (45:03):
I know.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
I can't tell you because you will try to fly there. No,
I can't tell you.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
Why would I try to think I would try to intervene.
She could hang out with my mom.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yes, you would.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
You talk to my mom, probably more than I do.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
You would try to get in the middle of our
date and we can't have that.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
Don't take my mom to be adult naked Corny website
water slide wherever you're going.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Oh, she'dn' want to set it up, set it up
with me, so hell.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Yeah, she's a regular. That's my name at the door.
She said, right, oh my god. Have you ever have
you ever found out something like that about your parents?
Have any of you were I'm just curious eight five
five five three five have you ever found out that,
like your parents, who you believe to be unassuming whatever,

(45:47):
you're you're grown up now you're not in the house anymore,
and you find out that, like they go on vacation
to one of those hedonism places, or they go to
like a swinger's place, or I'm not even trying to
be like, right, well, yeah, there's a place. There's a
place in Illinois called the Ciberis, which is a hotel
that is exactly what I'm imagining Kiki's going to, except
hers has water slides, and then again I think this

(46:09):
one does too, actually, But essentially it's a hotel where
the rooms are but it's set up to go do that.
It's set up to go that. That's the purtins like
hot tub in the room and like your ears are
the ceilings and whatever, like the Ciberis. It's intended for
you to go just to grown up stuff. That's that

(46:30):
you don't go there, like, that's not the place you
stay on a road trip when you're on your way
to you know, Tuscaloosa or whatever. Like you you don't
just pull over there, you know, for a nice rest,
like you're going there to have an affair, You're going
there to do something crazy. It turns out Jason's parents
used to hang out there when he was growing up,
and they had no idea frequent fires wherever. He had
no idea. He had the rewards club card. I feel

(46:51):
like your dad, Kalin would be because your parents should divorce,
you have your stepdad and then you have your dad.
I feel like the way that you describe your dad,
he'd be the kind of guy that you would find out,
you know, goes on goes to one of these like
I don't know, has some sort of risque hobby or something.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Oh, I mean my dad, I can remember my dad
going to raves. Like my dad is a partier.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
He was rather so yeah, I mean I definitely believe that,
and he spares no detail, so I do know about it.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Unfortunately I didn't have to find out from anyone else.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
I'm pretty sure that this person did I'm pretty sure
this person did not mean what they just texted. It
surprises me to hear that Fred says an adult porn
naked water park would be his fantasy, considering how homophobic
he is. Oh, but the next sentence is, imagine the nastiness.
I'm assuming you met germaphobic. Oh my god, because I'm

(47:44):
very much not homophobic. So again, I would have nothing
on the text line, which surprised me these days, except
the next line says, can you imagine the nastiness? I mean,
I assume you mean. I assume you mean germophobic. Let's
go with that. Yeah, because I am not the ladder
or the former. I am the ladder, so I assume, yeah,
And honestly, it is not, in fact my fantasy. And no,

(48:07):
I would not go there because of the germs, because
imagine if you went to a place where that's all
that they that's what it's intended to be, and that's
all they do there, you know. Then I mean hotels
are like that anyway, But if you went to a
hotel that's specialized in just being nasty, then yeah, you
can assume there's DNA everywhere oh ye. So anyway, okay,
So I was just curious if anybody knew of any

(48:29):
sort of like, oh wait we do Oh hold on
a second, Lizzie, Hey Lizzy, good morning, Good morning Lizzy.
So I was just curious if you since we're talking
about where Kiki's going this weekend, which is a quote
unquote adult water park. I still don't know what that means.
But did you have and then Jason's parents went to like,
you know, the Freaky Hotel. Did your parents ever did

(48:50):
you find out that your parents are into something that
you're like? What on earth?

Speaker 12 (48:55):
So my parents are the epitome of old people.

Speaker 5 (48:58):
Couple.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
There's seventy four.

Speaker 16 (49:00):
They met at the Playboy.

Speaker 12 (49:02):
Club in Chicago. Oh yeah, yeah, and apparently there was
a hot tot and that's where they met. And then
they were engaged on their second dage and my dad
bought a ring to the second date.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
Wow wow wow. So they used to have these things
all over the country. My dad, my dad was a
I guess you got you were like a key member
or something, and you got a key and the key
got you into these places all over the country. So
my dad had a membership to one of these like
in the seventies, and so you'd go to you know,
big cities, and they would have these Playboy clubs, right exactly,
And so I guess you'd go there and it was

(49:37):
like a bar and a hangout. Wasn't necessarily sillacious, but yeah,
so your parents met at the Playboy Club and then
look at you. How long did it take to for
them to make you? Soundly, they didn't waste much time.

Speaker 12 (49:49):
I actually am adopted, so twenty years later they adopted me,
and now they've been married for forty five years.

Speaker 1 (49:55):
Wow. Okay, so romance starts at the Playboy.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
Club obviously, Yeah, we gotta go.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
I love that, Lizzie. All right, well I'll meet you there,
have a good day. Well, Keithy'll be there before me.
But anyways, I hate the same story, Debbie. I mean,
that's love, by the way, that's I mean. When I
think of like Cinderella stories, I think of just the
one she just told Hey, Debbie, hey, hey, good morning.
Did you meet what did you find out about your

(50:22):
parents or people who were important to you later at life?
And you were blown away?

Speaker 12 (50:26):
It was it was kind of my daughter finding out
about me.

Speaker 16 (50:30):
I went to an adults only clothing optional resort with
a male friend of mine and my daughter was about
nineteen twenty, and she had called me while I was
there and asked me how it was going, and I said.

Speaker 15 (50:44):
It was really nice.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
So they then I slipped up because she.

Speaker 16 (50:48):
Was really into tattoos, and I mentioned that there was
a guy there, so, yeah, you wouldn't believe it. There's
this guy here and he's literally got tattoos everywhere he been,
you know, down.

Speaker 2 (50:59):
There, and she's like, wait a minute, what.

Speaker 9 (51:02):
Place?

Speaker 11 (51:06):
Well you you know, never mind, So.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Yeah, it was. It was a little awkward. Wow, that's
that guy. Must have been a good friend, a good
friend of yours.

Speaker 16 (51:17):
He was a very well, yeah, my friend was a
very good friend. He got me there by telling me
when I said I wasn't sure I could go to
a place to be naked in public, he said, well, it's.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Not like you're going to be naked in Walmart.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
You know.

Speaker 15 (51:30):
He was right.

Speaker 11 (51:31):
It's different.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
One It's funny is now, were you guys now when
you you use the term friend loosely, I mean in
this case, I'm assuming or do you were you actually
friends with this guy? And he was like, hey, Debbie,
what are you doing this weekend? You should go to
a naked adult resort together. And then all of a
sudden you realize, oh, we're more than friends.

Speaker 16 (51:48):
I guess, well, no, we were, you know, kind of
friends with benefits thing.

Speaker 10 (51:54):
You know, he's my fun friend.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Everybody needs a fun friend. Yeah the bust of course
you're married or in a relationship. But anyway, Hey, Debbie,
thank you. I have a great day too. One of
my favorite parts about doing this show is it doesn't
matter what we're talking about. I can, for the most
part's sake, call now and somebody can somebody can tell
us something about something, And it turns out we got
a bunch of freaky people out there listening to us.

(52:19):
It makes me wonder how much stuff our parents have
done that we don't know about that. I'm good unknowing,
like Paulina. You know, I love Mama Marta deeply, but
I can see it. I can see a world where
Mama Marta may have gone to a place like this
and you never knew about it.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
She still might be you, guys, she tells me all
the time. I am living my best life right now
in my fifties. Divorce like doing my thing.

Speaker 8 (52:43):
You know, I got my little granddaughter, Like she's really
living her best life. And she goes missing on weekends.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
You guys know that. Yeah, I know where she goes sometimes,
so she just might be get it Marta.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
Oh Hi, do you think she has a boyfriend she
won't tell you about? And if she does, why wouldn't
she tell you?

Speaker 2 (52:57):
So Marta?

Speaker 8 (52:58):
One thing about Marta that I knew before children, so
BC before kids or be yeah, before children. She used
to get it like that, like she had these men
running circles around her. That's my aunt literally told me.
They're like, yeah, she was that girl obviously, so she
should be. So I feel like she's bringing that back.
So I don't think she would have a serious relationship
like a boyfriend, but she probably got a couple guys
in rotation, a couple of good morning texts.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Wow, she got a couple good morning texts.

Speaker 2 (53:24):
I wouldn't be surprised.

Speaker 15 (53:25):
I would.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
Yeah, I get married again. She's a smart woman, like
she's like, I'm would.

Speaker 1 (53:32):
The Fresh Show is on.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
Have your partners ever used your toothbrush show? No? I
almost broke up. Yeah I might, just some of you
does I had?

Speaker 1 (53:42):
I had a girl to do that. One time we
were in a hotel and she wasn't expected to be
there and she just I see her brushing her teeth
and I was like, did you bring a toothbrush for you?
And she's like, no, I the one that was in
your thing. And I was like, I realized that we
were just very close to one another. But I wasn't
between your teeth.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Right, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (54:00):
Like get the activities that took place were unspeakable moments ago.
But I mean, I mean, that's different than my plaque.

Speaker 7 (54:10):
It really can we just exact We have the same
like power toothbrush and I have them labeled like one
has an M, one has a J, so there is
no room for error.

Speaker 5 (54:22):
Almost broke up in Mexico over this over tooth international border.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
You know, I threw that thing. I threw that toothbrush away,
went and got another one.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
But he had to go find me another toth brush.
Like he had to go downstairs and by at the
little bar, and.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
He went to the bar.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Right we were about to break up over that.

Speaker 1 (54:41):
He went to the bar and got you another toothbrush.

Speaker 5 (54:43):
Yes, but you guys do like other and that's what
he said, He's like, come on, but there is a
difference between what is between my teeth.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
And in my mouth, almost all detailed.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Order a fresh show. Okay, all right, the honorable Kiki
is here, Judge Kicky, but I take it away.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
All right, let's get in the courtroom. The gavel has
been hit. It says, Hey, Kiki, my name is Margaret.
I need to know if you think I'm wrong for
telling my daughter that she's not a doctor and her
kids should come first. My daughter has been an er
nurse for ten years. She's a divorced, single mom of two,
and I feel like she has allowed her career as
a nurse to ruin her life. Since her husband left

(55:28):
three years ago. She has completely allowed her kids to
become door dash kids, meaning there's never a home cooked
meal on a stove, but instead they're being forced to
live off of food delivery services because she's always at work.
I reached my breaking point when she almost missed my
granddaughter's award ceremony. Luckily, her ex husband made time to

(55:49):
be there with me, but my daughter, on the other hand,
came running in late and completely missed my granddaughter's name
being called. I was furious I told her, you're not
a damn doctor, You're just a nurse. Stop trying to
save the world and be there for your family. Well,
my daughter hasn't spoken to me since, and even stop
communication between me and my grandkids. I feel bad, but

(56:10):
I think it was the hard truth that she needed
to hear. Am I wrong?

Speaker 1 (56:14):
Well? The just a nurse thing I don't like. So
let's just fix that. The just a nurse, I mean
nurses the backbone of all of them. I mean doctors,
of course, you know, but nurses are out here right
right alongside the doctors helping them. In fact, in many ways,
you know, facilitating a lot of the things that the doctors,
you know, tell them to do, double checking, that kind

(56:36):
of thing. So just a nurse thing, I don't know
about that. The second thing I would ask you, Kiki,
Judge Kiki, is are they in a position where she
she could work lessons still provide I wonder exactly, because
that's my question, Like, is she in a position as
a single mom where she doesn't need to work this
much she's choosing to, or is this what it takes
in order to support the family.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
I don't know many people who work just to work.

Speaker 5 (57:00):
I don't know many people who would sacrifice time with
their children just because.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
And Margaret, I love you, but I feel like you
are wrong.

Speaker 5 (57:08):
Okay, instead of reprimanding your daughter in front of her
ex husband by the way, and saying you're not a doctor,
you need to put your kids first, how about you
give give a little grace, a little understanding, offer a
little help. If you're tied of your grandkids eating DoorDash
every day, why don't you cook the my home cooked meal.
You see your daughter busting her butt to go to work,
and clearly she needs to work. And now you're praising

(57:29):
him saying he made time to be there for his daughter.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
He's a parent.

Speaker 5 (57:32):
That's what he's supposed to do. He doesn't get an
award or a trophy because he made time to be there. Like,
you have to be understanding on both parts. And until
you made me, you weren't a single mother, so you
don't know the struggle that comes along with that. And
I just feel like in this case, as a mother,
you should have extended your daughter a little grace. And yes,
you can have a conversation with her and say, hey,
we got to find a work of life balance. I

(57:52):
don't want you sacrificing the time you're with the kids
help her through that. But to just tell her you're
not a doctor, you're just a nurse. That is insane
to me.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
You know, I don't like that angle.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
I wouldn't talk to you either, Miss Margaret, not gonna lie.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
No, I don't like that angle. No, there's a constructive
way to say, I know that your job is important
to you. I know that you're doing important work, but
you know you're missing a lot of stuff with your
kids and you're gonna regret that, yes, And so you know,
is there a way to make sure that you you know,
don't you may not be able to make it do everything.
And that's also, by the way, why there's you got

(58:27):
mom and dad in this situation. So dad can cover sometimes, Yes,
Dad can come to some things that mom can't come to.
Not everybody can be at everything all the time.

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Can dad cook a meal for the kids during the week?

Speaker 5 (58:36):
And can Dad pick them up and be at their
activities insteads since he has all this time in the world, Like,
it's just hard for it's just hard to say, you know,
you're just this and I don't understand why you're doing that,
and anybody who knows a nurse, if you've ever dated
a nurse, if you've ever been raised by a nurse,
it's not easy for them to just get off the clock.
It's not a job where you can just go in
and the next person comes in. It's like okay, bye. No,

(58:58):
there's checks and balances, the patients that need things, and
nurses work extremely hard. I don't want to I don't
want to fight the doctors, but when I go to
the anything medical, I see the nurses more than I
see the doctors.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
It's different, but you can't discount the work that's being
done by nurses because they're not doctors. It's incredibly important
to the process.

Speaker 8 (59:16):
Yes, No, And I think what really bicks my heart
too in the situation is that when you said, you know,
she ran in laid and saw her daughter, but she
missed her daughter's name being called at the award ceremony.
I think what for me broke my heart was that
that mom already felt so much guilt when she was
on her way there trying to make it on time.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
And I think mom guilt is so real.

Speaker 8 (59:37):
So I think, you know, Grandma or in this case,
her mother, is really just piling onto the mom guilt
and the frustration that we feel as working moms. In
my opinion, and I think it's it's messed up, and
I think this is a situation where yeah, people have
to step in and help. What do I always say, guys,
it takes a village and being a single mom, like
my hats off to you, close off to whatever, everything
off to you, everything else.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
Because they desire to take it close off single moms.
That's my job. I lay my body down. I'm here
to support all single moms for their plight.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Say, man, it can't be easy.

Speaker 1 (01:00:09):
No eight five three five you guys with the Jerry,
what do you think? Yeah, I don't know. I uh,
I think maybe there's there's some kind of constructive conversation
that might that might need to be had here because
we've talked about this before. You know, growing up, I
had a good friend that when I was a little kid,

(01:00:29):
his dad was a doctor, and they used to joke
like that the doctor's kid is the least cared for
because doctors have this it's like this out outward calling.
It's like I gotta take care of my patients. Take
care of my patients. And they come home look at
their kid, and he did not love his kid, but
it was like, you're fine.

Speaker 9 (01:00:46):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
He'd look at him and it wasn't that he didn't care,
but it was just like, you're fine, you know what
I mean, Like I don't I'm not gonna, I'm not
gonna come home and you're you're good, like you're not sick. Whatever,
move on, move along. And I do think there's like
a there's probably a a complex if you want to
call it that, or wherever, where whatever, where doctors feel
this need to constantly. It's like I don't know how

(01:01:06):
you leave that behind, right, you know what I mean?
Like I don't know how you do a shift and
then just leave and then you're I mean, I feel
like I would be there all the time trying to
save everybody, you know, and you can't. I can't do
that because I got to go home and now be
a family guy too, you know, I'm caring for my
patients all the time. Then I'm coming. I'm sure it's
a very difficult balance and an er nurse, it's NonStop.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
I'm sure, like you see all type of crazy stuff
happening all day, and I'm sure it's just not hard
to get off. And I just I could never see
myself mom shaming my daughter who is divorced, single trying
to make it with two kids like grandma pick up
some of the slag.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Well, and you can encourage her to maybe make sure
her priorities are in order. Yeah, but I also think
that minimizing what she does in an effort to do
that is not the way to go about it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
You're just a nurse, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
If you want her to reorganize and recon sit her, hey, look,
I think you're working a little too much over time
and you're missing a little too much stuff. Now, again,
the question that we don't know the answer to is
does she have to work the overtime like that? Is
that what is required for her to provide a life
for her family? Is the dad not contributing? We don't
know any of these things, right. Is she choosing to
work because she doesn't want to be at home, because

(01:02:19):
she doesn't want to be a mom, because she wants
someone else to handle that, Then there's probably a caring
conversation that could be had, you know, to address that.
Not Yeah, what you do is not that important, Hey, Nina,
good morning, welcome, good morning. Well you heard the whole
thing Kiki's court. What do you think.

Speaker 10 (01:02:37):
It's horrible?

Speaker 13 (01:02:38):
My daughter is a nurse, she works fifteen hour shifts.

Speaker 17 (01:02:41):
She tries to pick up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:42):
She's a single mom.

Speaker 14 (01:02:44):
She owns her own home, she has to pay the mortgage,
she has to feed her son, plus her sons has
special needs.

Speaker 10 (01:02:51):
So we all help out.

Speaker 16 (01:02:52):
I cook a meal for her if.

Speaker 13 (01:02:54):
She doesn't have time, I even cook her lunch that
she takes it.

Speaker 14 (01:02:57):
Why can't this grandmother help out right instead of you know,
putting her down.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Yeah, that's wrong. Well, and unfortunately, you know, most working
parents can't take a vacation day or take off for
every single event exactly, which is why the Paulina's point.
You know, that's where you come in, Nina. That's where
aunts and uncles come in. And that's where you know,
because again, it takes it takes a village. Sometimes it
takes a village.

Speaker 11 (01:03:20):
It takes a village.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Yeah, your daughter's lucky to have you. Yes, she is rich.

Speaker 14 (01:03:25):
She is a My grand I drive an hour for
the other grandkids to take them to school. I get
up at six in the morning, take them to school
at six thirty, so I can get up there at
seven thirty. I feed them breakfast, and then I come
back and do the same day every Wednesday and every
other weekend for my grandkids.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
That's at the other side, see it, And I do everything,
and you're being proactive, Nina, as opposed to this grandmother
who's you know, again, maybe the message is correct. Maybe
this woman needs to, you know, kind of reorganize here,
but to put her down in the process.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
Get meal for the kids she doesn't want them to uber.

Speaker 1 (01:04:01):
There's a different way to go about this. Thank you, Nina,
have a great day you as well, guys. Thank you
for listening. Tammy, Hi, Tammy, good morning.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (01:04:10):
Hey, So you are a you're a CNA. So you're
a nurse, right, I'm a nurse's aid. Okay, well all right,
and so you're in the field, and so you can
relate to this. What do you think when you hear
this story about this, this grandmother putting her own daughter
down because she's not spending enough time with her kids
and because she was late to something because she was working.

Speaker 11 (01:04:29):
Right, I.

Speaker 10 (01:04:31):
Felt her pain because I was also a single mom
and I recently became a CNA, and I see what
the nurses go through, especially the nurses who have children,
you know, constantly end up being late to things because
we can't just leave our positions and not nurses, aids
or nurses. We can't just leave because we have patients

(01:04:54):
who depend on us. And not only that, we are
support staff. We're there to support us every body and
the nurses and Siena and I feel like it's.

Speaker 15 (01:05:05):
It's so harsh for her to to do that to
her daughter.

Speaker 10 (01:05:10):
Yeah, you should try to support her because nurses work
so hard, like so hard, and they are the backbone
of any medical facility.

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
Right and Debby, if you're taking time off, if you're
if you're not working at fifteen, that means someone else
has to work the fifteen who probably already worked one.
So you know, again, it's not like there's just so
many people out there that can fill in all the
time for every practice and game, and which is a shame,
but that's that's how she's making a living for her family.

Speaker 10 (01:05:42):
There is also a very big nursing and just nursing
shortage period, Like nurses and cienas are in high demand
right now because almost any facility you go to is
going to be understaffed. I really don't know very many
facilities right now that aren't struggling was staffing, so I

(01:06:02):
couldn't see why she's probably running late to things.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Well, Tammy, thank you, have a great day. Thanks for
calling you too, Thank you for listening. Jennifer, Hi, good morning, Hi,
good morning. So Kicky's Court, basically, you've got a mom
of a woman who's a nurse and a single mother
criticizing her daughter for not putting her kids first in
her opinion, which has now resulted in this rift between

(01:06:28):
them because Mom's like, hey, you need to do more
stuff with your kids. And this woman is a nurse
and I assume she's working, you know, a lot in
long hours and we don't know again if it's because
she has to to provide or because who knows what
the reason is. But according to the according to mom,
her own mother, you're not doing enough. What do you think?

Speaker 7 (01:06:49):
First?

Speaker 13 (01:06:49):
I want to say that this one really irks me
on so many different levels.

Speaker 17 (01:06:54):
Bring the single mother is so hard.

Speaker 13 (01:06:56):
And you know, sometimes you have to do what you
have to do to just be able to support your
kids and support your family. And trust me, I guarantee
you there's times where she doesn't want to be at
work and she wants to be at home with her
kids and you know, going to every single function but
you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
And mom guilty is real, yeah, girl, and right And.

Speaker 17 (01:07:19):
The fact that her own mother is making her feel
worse about just having to support her kids like that
is not okay. Like, if you see your daughter is struggling,
do something to help her out instead of making her
feel worse about having to support her family, and make
that decision.

Speaker 1 (01:07:36):
I agree. Thank you, Jennifer, have a great day.

Speaker 13 (01:07:38):
Thanks you guys, thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:40):
For calling, Thanks for listening to Lissa. Hi, good morning.

Speaker 17 (01:07:43):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
So you were the kid of the mom who was
a nurse, so this resonates with you.

Speaker 15 (01:07:49):
Yes, one of five?

Speaker 1 (01:07:50):
Okay, all right? And so when you hear this story,
what do you think?

Speaker 6 (01:07:55):
Oh no, it breaks my heart a little bit, only
because the grandmother has black compassion.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
Was what I'm getting from that.

Speaker 6 (01:08:05):
Being young and seeing my mom she went to college,
became an rin full time nurse all by herself, was
all five of us, and because she didn't really have
that close knit with her mother, we picked up the
slack with each other, like we knew how to like
make something on the soon to cook or whatever.

Speaker 10 (01:08:22):
Again, it was five of us, so I understand maybe
her kids a little younger, but.

Speaker 6 (01:08:27):
Like I said to her, mother just lacked a little compassion.
I was more understanding of my mother's situation, so I
knew she couldn't be there like I understand. You know,
it's a little envious for other kids, but it was
more understanding than anything. And I never resented my mother
for any of that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Did you ever feel like that to her? It's crazy,
I'm starting interrupt you, Julissa, but did you ever feel like,
just to flip it, that your mom, even though she
was doing what she had to do. Were you ever
jealous of the patient, like it's almost like maybe she
cares about them more than us, even though you knew
that wasn't it. But did you ever feel that way?

Speaker 15 (01:09:00):
Not at all.

Speaker 6 (01:09:01):
I mean, they're in the hospital, I'm not, but there
was no jument, you know what I mean. They're obviously
unwell ill can't take care of themselves, whereas I'm fortunate
and I have good health. You know a mother who
when you know, if something wasn't all.

Speaker 10 (01:09:13):
She did step in to take care of it.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
You know, it's not like we were neglected. And that's
so I never felt jealous of the patience of anything.
I felt sorry for them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
You know, damn thank you for calling to listen. Have
a good day, you too, thank you, because I've heard
that one before too, with like people who are in
relationships with people in the healthcare field, for example, it's
like they give everything they've got all day and then
they come home and they go to sleep, and it's like, well,
wait a minute, hold on, you know what about this
whole o their life? You got me, you got family, whatever.
And I think that's why the thing I was saying before,

(01:09:42):
the joke being that doctor's kids are the worst cared for,
and it's said tongue in cheek, but it's like it's
probably true because you know, all day long, I'm you know,
I'm diagnosing people and I'm doing surgeries and I'm you know,
doing whatever. And then I come home and I'm like,
one more right, and they don't. They don't. They're not loved.
It's just like I'm not, no, you're fine.

Speaker 5 (01:10:00):
Oh, you can just get desensitized to, like, you know,
your calm and call when I'm caring real life issues
at work.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
So I think it's a real thing. Oh it is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
I think keep was a nurse.

Speaker 1 (01:10:09):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
I used to be like I'm having a migrant She
was like, please go lay down somewhere, like I I'll
please you know, so you do get desensitized. But at
the end of the day, like I like how ju
Lisa just said it, she admired her mom's sacrifice for
her patience.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
The most annoying thing that someone can do in an email,
I know, Jason, Oh god, I know, Jason. Probably you
probably receive and send more emails at times fifty than
anybody on this show. But eight five five three five
what comes to mind immediately, because there is one phrase

(01:10:44):
that apparently sets people off more than any other. Now
for me, there are a few, and I'm guilty of
some of them too, and I have the best intentions,
But the ones that I think I do that probably
annoys people is some kind of salutation at the beginning,
like Hey, I hope you're well or hope everything's good
or whatever, you know, Like I'm trying to set the mood,

(01:11:05):
like hey, I hope you're great. And then here's the
thing I want you to do that you probably don't
want to do, or here's the thing I'm asking from
you that you don't want to that you probably you're
not gonna want to do. Yeah, And I think that
annoys people.

Speaker 7 (01:11:15):
I've stopped that because I used to think like, oh,
I have to like open nights, you know, But now
I'm like, no, just get right to it because I
hate when I have to like read through multiple paragraphs.
But I think, like I hate and I think it's
like super condescending is when someone puts like the dot
dot dot after something because I feel like you're eluding,
like I'm stupid, Like I feel like you have like

(01:11:35):
an attitude if you're like, okay, dot dot dot dot,
Like why why are you hitting the dots.

Speaker 1 (01:11:40):
So many times? Like I think you are saying that
like that you're you're the dots are imploying a dramatic pause,
so it's like what all right? But I need you
to know there's like an all right, and then it's
silence afterwards.

Speaker 7 (01:11:55):
Right like hello, I did see this in an email
that was not directed any but I love it and
I kind of want to like utilize it. But it's
said thank you in advance for your comprehension.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Thank you for understanding.

Speaker 7 (01:12:09):
Yeah, but like no, it was thank you, like in advance,
like you're going to read this and comprehend it. And
I'm thinking you in advance because you're going to do it.
I'm like, is savage?

Speaker 1 (01:12:18):
You want to drive me on that note? The one?
The other one drives me crazy? Is action required? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
With a little? The little what is the exclamation point?

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Action REQUI oh, so, oh, so your email requires me
to actually do something. But like all the other emails,
I get nope, but apparently I don't do anything with you.

Speaker 7 (01:12:34):
Said right in line, And when I get to you,
I get you can put whatever you can put exclamation points,
start it, whatever you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:39):
Wanted to do. Action required? Okay? What A lot of
emails that people send me throughout the day require me
to respond or do something? So why is your Why
does yours have to say action required?

Speaker 9 (01:12:48):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:12:48):
Every one of them does? It's annoying? Action needed?

Speaker 15 (01:12:51):
Urgent?

Speaker 1 (01:12:52):
Yeah, you got me going here, you got me going out?
Just checking in is consider one of the worst phrases
to put in an email. Isn't that kind of an
applied by the fact that I sent the email just
or or if I'm circling back, just checking in is like, hey,
dumb ass, why didn't you read the other email I
sent you? Why haven't you responded to the other thing

(01:13:12):
I sent you?

Speaker 8 (01:13:13):
That's what you're saying, you think, So I like saying
just following up because sometimes I think people don't read
or emails as maybe as much as I do. Like
I'll say, hey, just following up, and sometimes they seem
appreciative because I'll say, oh, thank you so much, like
completely forgot to.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
Respond, and I don't think no one's mad at me,
but now I'm reconcerned.

Speaker 7 (01:13:28):
Don't follow up with me. That's my biggest fact. I
read it and if I when I have it, I
will get it to you. I promise it.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
I'll stop.

Speaker 4 (01:13:35):
Oh wow, I wouldn't mind it follow up like, because.

Speaker 8 (01:13:39):
I'm going to follow up if I get that, and
I'll be like, well, thank you so much for reminding me.

Speaker 2 (01:13:42):
But I think I'm just wired that way. I don't
know where to meet. Doesn't it doesn't bother me because
I do it to other people.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
Yeah, I would just.

Speaker 1 (01:13:48):
Ask the question again. I don't think I would say.

Speaker 7 (01:13:50):
Well, I copy and paste, I copy the previous message
and just repast it. Like two days later and be like, hello,
a little bit. I'm not ultra sensitive you know about
these kind of things, but like the the like, I don't,
I don't. I don't read too much into it.

Speaker 1 (01:14:04):
But it's just following up is kind of like, Hey,
what it says to me is, hey, remember I sent
this to you already, and apparently you didn't. You know,
I wasn't important enough for you to say anything. So
here I am again. So I think I would just
ask the question again, just be like, hey, still needing answer,
I still need an answer on this or whatever. Just
be very direct. I think just checking in, according to
one expert, doesn't accomplish the task it seemingly needs to,

(01:14:27):
which is to force the issue or expedite the to
do item other things that people drive them crazy and
they're texting. I hope this email finds you well. I
feel like I've written something like that before, and I
mean it. I mean it. It never does. But I'm
not I'm not gonna I'm not gonna well, neither of mine,
which is why I'm homing you're well, I'm not. I'm

(01:14:49):
not well, and I can there's a point in asking
me if I am. And most people don't, but I'm
hoping that you are. Thanks in advance, please advise all
the best or best. I don't know why that's annoying,
best and sincerely, And that's like I'm something nan I
would write a handwritten letter to my grandfather and who's
at war or something. Sincerely. I don't know, you know, no, No,

(01:15:13):
I guess that thanks in advance. It's like I'm asking
you to do something. So I'm thanking you now because
it's an email and I won't necessarily see you to
follow up to tell you thank you again. So I
guess I don't know why that one's so bad.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
Yeah, thanks in advance for your comprehension.

Speaker 1 (01:15:31):
Impatient repetition, per our conversation, confirming a receipt, just checking
in any updates on this. Again, I don't know if
that's unfair, because again, if you're if you're emailing someone
and and you require information from them to complete the
task you're supposed to complete, then I guess I don't
see a problem with saying hey, I need this. Yeah,

(01:15:53):
Like that doesn't hit me as bad as following up
or circling as per my last emails. Don't be below.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
I got something for you below that you can see it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:07):
That lazy that you can't actually type your question you
want to read through a five mile threat?

Speaker 15 (01:16:12):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (01:16:13):
But the our conversation is that bad?

Speaker 8 (01:16:15):
Because I feel like if you have a conversation with
let's just say your cowork or your boss in person, like,
wouldn't you want to put up in an email.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
Or recap it?

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
In theory, I could just I could just keep going
with the subject matter and I don't have to be, hey,
dumb ass, remember what we talked about. I could just
I don't have to say. I could just keep going
or or give them what they asked for. If they're
too dumb to remember the conversation that we had, you know,
five minutes ago, then is that really a me?

Speaker 8 (01:16:39):
I think it's more of just like paper trailing yourself
of just being like, hey, we spoke on this day,
kind of just for your own record.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
This happened.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Yeah, that is bad.

Speaker 17 (01:16:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:49):
I don't work in corporate, but that seems like it
would be.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
People don't like cheery responses Happy Monday Happy. This emojis
colored sponts. I don't like when people color. I don't
and God bless my mom, but she uses like your
team font. It's like blue or pink or red, and
it's like not standard font. And I love my mom

(01:17:11):
so much, but it's like there is a standard format
for writing emails and it's where our eyes are used
to seeing and it's easy on the eyes. But she
uses like a curse up font and like and it's
like another color right right, Yeah, she used an HTML.

Speaker 7 (01:17:29):
I will bowld something that One thing about me is
I will bold.

Speaker 4 (01:17:32):
Oh I've noticed condition, but you don't want to take it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:36):
You know you can bold back at me, but we
can't follow up today.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Let me see here, lack of targeting, Like if you
were to say, if you write an email to me
that says to whom it may concern, then I automatically
know that you don't know who you send the email to.
You automatically, this is not an email that was even
intended for. You're hoping I'll respond, but you don't know
who you sent it to. Can you send it to
like a mass list or something? So no, ton no,

(01:18:04):
I'm not, I'm not.

Speaker 9 (01:18:06):
I'm not.

Speaker 7 (01:18:07):
Yeah, And if I'm in the CC line, I'm not answering.
So like, don't ask a question that you want to
answer for me. Put me in the two line. You
know what I'm saying specific Yes, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
I see, yeah, I guess, I guess yeah yeah, if
I if I'm if you're supposed to be included versus
just seeing it, then you're in the two line. If
you're on the CC line, that's these people are doing
it and I need you to make sure that you
saw it right, that's right.

Speaker 7 (01:18:31):
Yeah, people just willy really put people in boxes and
it's like no, like there's a reason.

Speaker 1 (01:18:35):
Yeah, I agree with that. And then cap caps. People
annoyed by caps. They don't want capital letters on stuff
because it does come off like you're yelling at me.
So I would argue the same. I would say, how
about we don't we don't want the caps. But yeah,
the one that gets everybody is just checking in. I'll

(01:18:56):
stop checking in. I don't hate that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:58):
Yeah, more fread show next, Freds fun.

Speaker 1 (01:19:09):
Learn so much? So did you know? Did you know
that the Lubonic plague encouraged William Shakespeare to write poetry?
And that's why it happened. In an attempt to prevent
the plague from spreading back in Shakespeare's time, many public
places were shut down until things improved. That's why theaters
were closed in January of fifteen ninety three and didn't

(01:19:32):
reopen until the spring of fifteen ninety four. Child's play
just a year, Just a year of closures come on.
This closure meant that playwrights like William Shakespeare were temporarily
out of work, and that's when he spent his time
writing poetry instead of focusing on his famous plays. And
it's likely when he began his one hundred and fifty
four sonnets? What did we come out of the epidemic?

(01:19:57):
What did we come out of the pandemic with?

Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
What for pounds? Trauma, anxiety, drink?

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
I worked on my weed, my weed, I worked on
my weed. I worked on my mid section and clearly
on on when speaking addiction in words more Fredshell next
