All thanks to the Live Nation. Wait wait, wait, it's
Radio Survivor. I've been saying this for years. This is

(00:45):
Radio Survivor. We're going to find out in ten years
this was a science experiment. No, it's just like, let's
just mess with everything and see if they can manage
to get people to continue listening. Fread show. I have
a lot of respect for people, the thespians, you know,
stage actors. It's very hard to do. I'm sure. I
just for me, I just for some reason, it makes

(01:07):
me uncomfortable, like people singing in a non I should say,
a non musical way, like a conversation like like I do,
a concert doesn't make me up. I mean, the crowds
make me uncomfortable, but like the event itself is amazing.
But for some reason, people like overacting, like over dramatizing
basic things. It just makes me uncomfortable. And it's a

(01:31):
me problem. It's a me issue. I guess I'm just
too dry and literal and devoid of emotion. I guess
I'm not sure. But like I went to Dear Evan Hanson.
My sister wanted to go for her for her birthday,
and I went to New York and Broadway and the
whole thing. I actually really liked it. I thought they
did a great job and it's a sweet story. But
my parents, my mom just just to sum it up,

(01:52):
my mom and my aunt and my sister are sobbing.
My brother in law is looking at sports scores, my
dad's asleep, and I'm just and I'm going, Okay, what
a motley crew I'm with right now? But I don't know.
For some reason, stage acting just makes me feel weird.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I just really want you to see Wicked, though, because
it's so good and I'm not a.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Musical girl either.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Bread Show, good morning, Thanks for having us on the radio,
on the iHeart app live and anytime. Search for The
Fred Show on demand. Bellahmene did you dirty? Oh my
Godlahamin did you dirty? She? Bellahamine did something that you
just cannot do.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
You cannot do.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I can't do what Bellahamene did. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I can't shake it.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Are you able to talk about it? I'll try.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's still a little traumatic.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Okay, we'll go ahead, please, Okay? So did you get
a spray? Tim?

Speaker 4 (02:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I can tell you were looking at me. I look like,
who am I pig pen or play pen?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Well, pig pen? But I didn't say that. I don't
think you're a pig pen at all. Would I would
never say that. You're the little kid with the flies
in the dirt that surrounded him in the cartoon.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
He was around in mud. He's the dirty one.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's what I look like. The peanut isn't the peanuts? Yeah? Yeah?
Missed that day?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
Cool?

Speaker 5 (03:14):
You missed the peanuts? I never want I know what
they are because he's snoopy. Yes, the peanuts, peanuts, but
it was more than just soupy. The kids are called
the peanuts.

Speaker 6 (03:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
The group of people, yeah, ok? And yeah, so he
had like always had dirt around him and like looked
like little flies. And for some reason he was balding.
I don't know why. I'm not sure why the child
was balding, but I got you. I got you. Where
the hell were you growing up?

Speaker 4 (03:42):
Did you?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Were you on mars? Do you know how to get back?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
And maybe no one showed me this, but honestly, I'm
kind of okay with it because it looks terrifying.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Well that's what looks like right now.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
But anyways, so mean earlier in the week, and we
love her so much.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
She's after this. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
Well, she betrayed me, but that's fine.

Speaker 7 (03:59):
So she as me a couple of days ago if
she could get some what she called adult advice. I
thought we were both adults, but hey, listen, I will
be your big radio sister, and I said, of course, like,
not the issue at all. She said, okay, can I
call you? Of course, not the issue at all. She
then proceeds to FaceTime me.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
A surprise face time.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Surprise face time, and I looked at it frozen. We're
not frozen because by I call it my witching hour
between like two and three.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
It's really hard for us. I don't know if you
guys feel the same way with our right, we're.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Talking about pm. When you start your day at four am,
then the two to three pm is typically difficult. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
I had no makeup on, no braun, fighting for my
life looked rough and there's a certain level of energy
it takes to look at someone in the eye the
entire conversation.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
So I was frozen, didn't know what to do.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
But I'm like, okay, she needs me, so I answer,
and I said, Bella, this is not the same as
a phone call.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
She said, what do you mean.

Speaker 7 (05:00):
My sister and my mom say that to me all
the time, and I'm like, because they're right. A FaceTime
is very different than a phone call. And these kids,
they think a FaceTime is always acceptable.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
You do not surprise ambush FaceTime someone under any circumstances.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
You and I know that, any circumstances.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
And it's just like when you're on the phone, you
can you can do other things, you can lounge.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean, I could be doing anything and you would
never know.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
But to have to have the energy to stare at
someone the entire phone call, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
And I don't have to prepare myself. You want to
have a FaceTime like, yeah, I had. This happened to
me the other night where somebody was like who I
didn't really know very well, was like texting and then
all of a sudden, we're texting and then out of
nowhere and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
In the fifties and you're in a newsroom.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
It was morse code. They were morse coding me. We
were communicating, Like, that's what we were doing. We're communicating
in morse code. I don't want to want to know
what I'm saying to people. Man, no one's in morse
code anymore. I don't trust the phone. I don't trust
the phone. No one's on morse code. That's right, that's
where you're all my secrets.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
So someone's surprise face, right.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
And I was like, no, no, no, you didn't because
I was laying in bed. It may have been too
early in the day for that. I wasn't prepared. I mean,
I've been wearing a lot of clothing. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what who do you think you are?

Speaker 7 (06:31):
There used to be a calendar invite if you want
to face like this is crazy.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
These kids and they're just just going and they're just
face timing anyone what.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
I feel judged because every time my niece Polly calls me,
every time it seems like I'm in bed, and finally
she goes, Baba, why are you in bed? And it's
like four, you.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Know, and I'm like, Polly, why are you grip a
joe called seasonal depression.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
You don't know anything about this yet.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I don't get enough sleep, Polly, I'm depressed.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, you don't do so. Now it's funny now when
my four year old niece facetimes me, I get out
of bed so that she doesn't think that her uncle
is a total loser. Yeah, which I want her to
believe a lie. I want her to believe that I'm
not a loser. I really do. Speaking of which, and
I wonder how many of you can relate to this,
because I know Kiki can eight five five, five, one

(07:21):
one oh three five you can call it text the
same number. My sister is limiting access to the child
ooh to the children. Really now, now Polly's four and
then Mave is one, and Mave just says dad, Dad
smiles a lot, which is that's cute. But I get
about thirty seconds to that. I'm all set, there's only
so much time, and go maybe maybe, and then she
says eh and then like stick something in her mouth
and it really goes on like on her you know, cheek,

(07:42):
and it'say, okay, got it. But Polly can have like
she has like full on thoughts and communication now, like
full on. I don't know where she comes up with
these concepts, no idea. So I FaceTime yesterday and my
sister talks to me for like ten minutes. And when
I FaceTime, it's to see the child. I want to
see Polly. Okay, I'm not fake. I'm sorry man. I've
known you for thirty six years. I love you. You're wonderful.

(08:03):
I see I know what you look like. And I'm
laying in bed. I had no actually no, I had
to get out of bed because I was preparing for
the call with the four year old. So I had
to make sure I showered and look to you like
a professional. I usually put on a tie so it
looks like a shift, like you know, it's a formal occasion.
You know that tux I wanted I put that on
yes so I want her to think that I'm like
a waiter at a restaurant or you know, something respectable.

(08:24):
And so we talked for like ten minutes and she's like, okay,
by I'm like no, wa whoa, whoa. She goes, oh,
you want to see Polly, and then she gets you
the phone. And then now Polly's engaged. And sometimes Polly's
on the mood. And that's another thing. If Polly's on
the mood, we're not getting anywhere, we're not doing anything,
and god forbid we would force the child or even
encourage the child to speak to their uncle. Polly's in

(08:45):
the mood. Okay, all right? So anyway, so Polly's in
the mood today, So she grabs a phone, takes me
into her little Ford. We're having a heart to heart
less about two minutes. All of a sudden, you see
a hand swipe the phone. Okay, we're gonna get going now.
And I know, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I put
this tux on. So I want to speak of the tong.
But what I wonder is like, is it because as

(09:08):
adults with kids, you're tired of being usurped for the children?
Is it because, like I don't know what what? Why
am I being limited access to my niece? Why am
I when my mom is the same way. It's like
only so much time, You only get so much time,
and you want me to pay for college. I don't
think so I'm gonna need a little more access in
my investment. Will to my investment. But I mean, does

(09:31):
this do you do this to your No, you don't
because you need them for childcare.

Speaker 8 (09:34):
Oh, I say, you know you want to talk. You
guys can yap all day, all night.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Exactly, Chapauline. It's like you should come over and do
that person. And when you do, I'm i step out.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Oh, I'm at my mom's door.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm at the door with the baby. Oh you wanted
to see Gigi?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Here she is all yours.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It just so happens. I was waiting outside for you
to ask yes. And I'm going to owe and hear
her diapers and food and enough rations for the next
four days. I'll see you later.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Yep, I am equipped I said, here you go.

Speaker 9 (09:59):
No.

Speaker 8 (10:00):
I mean, like, my daughter's also younger, so when she
does FaceTime my mom or my mother in law, she
hangs up on them.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
So I have to run back and call them back.
So it's like a process.

Speaker 8 (10:08):
I don't think Polly does that, right, I'm assuming she's
she's good with the phone.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Well, I get a little bit of whiplash. I get
a little dizzy. You know, we saw it, we're not
We're not exactly sure how you know exactly where to look.
And then we can kind of stare at ourselves the
whole time, which is fine. I make a double chin. Yeah,
we ad a lot of that, and then we run
around with it a little bit too.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
I feel like I love when my baby talks to
people on FaceTime because we have that. Like back in
the day, that wasn't an option. And obviously your you
know grandma, right, Polly's grandma. Your mom doesn't live here
or with them, neither do you guys? Are all you know,
different towns, different lives.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Someone's nexted. No, it's because my sister wanted her phone back.
Probably that's probably another option. We'll see. Maybe I'll buy
the Maybe I'll do a Kiki set, and I will
buy her a phone that only facetimes and uses the internet,
and as we've learned on the show, that doesn't call
nine one one because Apparently a lot of phones that
you think don't work will still call nine one one.
Oh yeah. And as much as I love a story

(11:05):
about a kid who orders donuts from the Cobs, I
don't need it to be my knees right, Yeah, unless
it's a way more creative request. Polly would ask for
something more.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
She would be like, she wouldn't even she wouldn't be donuts,
it'd be specific donuts. She's a picky little kid. I
mean she she knows, she knows the finer things. Yes,
she would call the Cobs and be like, mom, won't
buy me, you know, something very specific, and then have
to bring it over. But I'm not looking to be
in the news.

Speaker 7 (11:29):
There was another kid the other day who called nine
one one because his mom ate.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
His ice cream.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh it was hilarious. There you go. They showed up. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (11:36):
He explained like, yeah, I want her to go to jail.
Yeah I got ice cream.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Yeeah.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
He saved her in the end, before she had to
go to jail.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
He stood a business and they were thinking about it.
They would child abuse. Yeah, I hate the ice cream
in front of the child. How could you. There was
a similar thing that happened yesterday when Bella facetimes Klein.
The authorities were involved. They're like, oh my god, would
you like us to arrest her for this offense.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
I'm glad you guys agree, because I didn't know if
it was generational or if I just don't enjoy being
sneak attacked with a FaceTime it's abuse.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, I also what is this one? This is what
I think it is. If you're with the same people,
you don't have to look at them consistently, you know
what they look like. Yeah, No, I'm the one. I
don't understand that the people who have like drinks drink nights,
like with their friends, like if their friends don't live somewhere,
so they'll get on FaceTime and they'll be on there.

(12:27):
They'll be on there for like four hours together and
there and they're going about their day like the Facetime's on,
but they're you know, doing dishes and doing laundry and
you know, waxing themselves and god knows what. I'll taking
a shower and it's like, put the Facetime's on the
whole time, and it's somehow that you're going to capture.
I'm gonna forget that the FaceTime is on and do
something and you're gonna see something that you didn't want

(12:50):
to see. I don't I'm not interested. Hey Ashley, Hi, Hi,
good morning, good morning. How are you very well? Thanks
for calling? What you got pro tip for me on
the FaceTime with the kids.

Speaker 11 (13:03):
So I'm nine months pregnant at this point. Oh congratulations,
wants to FaceTime. Thank you. When someone wants to FaceTime
with my father, that's fantastic because I could do something
else during that time. This last week, my mom was
facetiming with my daughter for multiple hours and I go
to check on them and I hear no talking. They're
just staring at each other. Well, my mom's like eating

(13:25):
cereal or something, and the winter's just staring right back
at her.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
There you go. I'd be fine with that.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's cute.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
I'd be fine with that. Like, that's a FaceTime I
can do. Bus I already you know, I already got
a facial and put the tucks on and got my
eyebrows waxed and everything for this call. So like we
need to make it count. You know, Pauline used to
know that her uncle's not a total loser, at least pretend.
Thank you, Ashley, have a good day, of course, do
you thank you? I text my kids FaceTime their grandma
and pop up twice every night.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Okay, how about an iPad? Someone said, iPad and get
on it. There you go. I think that's what needs
to happen. I need to sneak it. And you guys
said this earlier though. I need to sneak it in
like prison. I'll have to like, I'll have to like
stick it in my butt and sneak it in the house. Well,
that's how you sneak stuff into prison. And then I'll
have to, like, you know, hide it somewhere. You went

(14:17):
to a baby shower, and I want to know. I
want to know from everybody, what is the most ridiculous
thing that you've ever seen on a registry of any kind?
And did somebody buy it? Like over the weekend I
saw dude and he was kidding. It was his wedding
registry and he put a seven hundred dollars like millennium
falcon lego set all the way at the bottom. He

(14:38):
was kidding. I guess, because you know, you go through.
I've never done this, but I guess you go through.
And you you can either select stuff online or go
in the store and scan or whatever. And he was
kidding and he was just like, I don't know, and
somebody bought it showed up in his house and he
was like, you know, so seven hundred dollars a thing.
I'm sure that plates or place mats are you know,
a kitchen aid mixer or something would have been appreciated

(15:00):
by whoever did the registry. But no, he got his
lego set. It was very excited. But your friend, this
is outrageous.

Speaker 7 (15:07):
Yeah, so I have sort of three baby showers going
on at once, so I could basically see, you know,
the difference in what my friends are putting on their registries.
One of my friends put after Care for Herself on there,
which I absolutely love. I think that more moms should
do that, just some you know, supplements and stuff that
will help with postpartum and I thought that was really
cool to see. And one of my other friends, who,

(15:30):
you know what my mom always told me, since I
was a little asked for what you need, people can
always say no. She may or may not have put
a two thousand dollars rug for the baby's nursery on
her registry.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
If you know her, you know she likes the finer
things in life.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
A two thousand dollars rug, I guess in theory, like
multiple people could go in on that.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
I guess multiple, multiple, multiple, multiple, because.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
What would be the average you would spend on it.
Maybe a couple hundred bucks for a good friend. Yeah,
for a registry, for a gift off of a registry. Yeah,
so you know, ten people can go in and buy
you a rug. Yes, for sure, get out of here,
that's great, for sure.

Speaker 7 (16:04):
She also had and I didn't know this, but she
had this adorable little bougie outfit on there from norse Strum,
which I of course bought for the baby comes with
a matching suitcase. And she told me that that's what
the baby's gonna be taken home. And it's all cashmere.
It's beautiful. Everything goes together.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
However, my other friends who have already taken babies home
from the hospital, goes, that's gonna be covered.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
In pooper pee, Like you don't need to have like
an aesthetic to go home.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
And like my friend was like, I think I found
a hat and found a onesie that someone gave me.

Speaker 7 (16:30):
But hey, listen, however, you want to bring your baby home,
go for it.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I don't know what Polly wore when I first met her,
but I remember it was curing cold. We couldn't go
to the hospital. So we're all at my sister's house
and she comes home and of course, you know, she's
wearing big comfies and a diaper and whatever else you
have to wear, and basically says, here and hands me.
I don't know what she was wearing. It probably whatever
they get for. I don't think at that point there
was you know, too much pop and circumstance. But here,

(16:56):
here's your niece. Hands I'm like, oh, okay. And then
you know, I mean, at that point it exhaustion and
pain and like, oh now I have to do this.
That must be a weird thing, Paulina is because I mean,
in much smaller ways, I can relate to this. But
you know, there's all this anticipation, like babies coming, babies coming,
baby's coming, and you're so excited and it's you know whatever,

(17:17):
but you're not having a parent yet. And then all
of a sudden, baby comes out and they handed to
you and you're all the emotion. I get to meet
my child and you're crying, You're happy, and maybe you
take a little nap, But when did it hit you, like, oh,
I this kid is like mine forever, and I have
now that all the fun was fun, but now I
have to actually raise the child.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Yeah, now she has to stay and then we got
to do this when you hit.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
You all at once or did did you? Sort of
always have that perspective.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
So I gave birth to her. No, it like took
a minute, but I gave birth to her.

Speaker 8 (17:43):
Like what it was like eleven am so like, which
is kind of funny because like I always thought birds
happened like the middle of the night or like really early.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
In the morning. It's give birth any day. Yeah, and
then it's like, just go on with your day.

Speaker 8 (17:56):
And they moved us to a different room and then
nurses like I'll be and I was like, what do
you mean I'll be back, because you're not saying like
you know what I mean. So then that freaks a
while because then you're all sitting there in silence with
a child, the human baby just right there in her
little her little movable you know, crimping, and then I'm like, wow,
like we really got to do this thing. And then yeah,
she'll you know, you've got a feed her do all
these things, and you're.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like, wow, it is kind of funny because you really
never hear about anybody, like everyone seems to have a crazy, like,
you know, a crazy birth story. I was born in Boston,
and it was, of course, you know, snowy and early
in the morning, three in the morning, and you know
all the night we're right right. No one's ever like,
yeah it was he was born. It was like eighty
degrees and it was noone. It's noon noontime, right exactly.

(18:40):
I guess people who plan their se sections you can
do that. You could be like, let's do it on Tuesday,
run two. That sounds good, you know, But otherwise I
feel like everyone's story is oh, you know. And then
we had to it was an emergency and I had
to run a bunch of red lits. No one's like yeah,
we just casually strolled over there and I had a
nice baby around three, you know, just whatever.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
You know.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Good morning, how you doing, Good morning are you guys?

Speaker 12 (19:06):
I love you guys.

Speaker 13 (19:06):
Oh my god, I can't believe on here.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well thank you, no, Ed, we we can believe it.
You believe it. It's happening to you. Right now. This
is the moment. This is your moment. So you what
did you put on your registry? This is a baby registry.

Speaker 13 (19:18):
No, this was actually my wedding registry and it was
a five hundred dollars diaphon. It was a second twenty
nineteen and then a three hundred dollars comforter, which I
was in shock that we actually got, but found out it.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Was my mother in law that bought it.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Okay, well that is I mean it's nice you may
as well. I mean the worst case is that nobody
buys anything. Nobody buys it right right exactly, And.

Speaker 13 (19:39):
We were shocks that we got it. I mean the
diaphon was kind of like, okay, we're greeting married, But
like the three hundred dollars comforter, what did we need
that for? It was a joke putting it on our registry.

Speaker 1 (19:48):
So when you do this, do you like say, Okay,
I'm going to put some cheap stuff, and then I'm
going to put some like middle stuff, and then let's
go for a couple high end items and see if
we get them. Yeah.

Speaker 13 (19:58):
Absolutely, you kind of just go ski I'm crazy when
you go in there, Okay, because I get that, But
like if everything I wouldn't be offended if you had
a two thousand dollars rug, but then a bunch of
reasonable stuff.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
I mean, okay, so you tried it, you know, you
try your five hundred dollars dition. You tried it, you
got it, good for you. But like if everything we're
five hundred dollars and more, I'd be like, who do
you think we are? Like? Who do you think? Do
you know the people that did? Have you met any
of these people that you're sending stuff out to? You know?

Speaker 4 (20:24):
Oh that's too funny?

Speaker 13 (20:25):
Yeah, no, absolutely, people can get crazy with us.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Yeah, Sarah, thank you for listening. Have a great day.
Oh you guys, I love you too. Yeah. I mean
I guess was the other stuff reasonable or was it
all kind of high end?

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (20:38):
There was all price points and like the baby Lister
or whatever, lets you choose by price point. But I
just was like, my goodness, that baby doesn't even know
where her nose is.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
Nope, yeah, well you gonna have a nice looking rug though,
that's right. Oh yeah, she's gonna have to clean up
all the time. It's good morning. Thanks for having us
on the radio. On the iHeart app live and anytime
search for a Fred show on demand. Well, this is
from Reddit's wadding shaming for him. Paulina sent me this
eight five, five, five to nine to one one three five.
You can call it text the same numbers, so can you.

(21:09):
I want to hear from both perspectives. Maybe you've had
to do this before, but since the COVID nineteen pandemic,
there is a couple that was getting married and another
couple I guess that had been hanging out at least
once a month. The four live in the same city
and spent a lot of time together. This is my
version of morality Monday. By the way, this is a

(21:30):
morality Monday right now. So it wasn't surprising when the
bride and room sent this couple, saved the date a
year in advance, and then the wedding invitation, which was
addressed to each of them three months ago, and then suddenly,
with the wedding just a month away, the groom informed
the partner that I guess, of the other couple, one

(21:50):
of the partners that they would no longer be getting
a plus one. So now the couple's not a couple anymore.
It's just the person, I guess one of the people
gets to go now, even though because I guess that's
how you normally can tell is that wedding invitation will
say both names or name plus guest, and if you're
not sure that you should just ask, which can be awkward,

(22:10):
but I would. I think it's much better if you ask,
then show up with somebody and nobody was expecting that.
That's really bad. So anyway, so they come back and say,
I'm sorry, but only you can come now your partner
can't come. Unfortunately, this is the quote I was having
my invite rescinded, as they have declared that all plus
ones have to be engaged or married, and the person

(22:32):
later explained I and several other girl boyfriends have been
removed from the attendee list, and even some of their
aunts and uncles are being told that their partners can't
attend anymore. When asked why, they have supposedly decided that
they want their day to be a true celebration of
love and therefore only want committed couples in attendance. Oh,
that is so ugly.

Speaker 8 (22:52):
That is so ugly to say to somebody, or to
like not in by someone because they're not married or engaged. Like, yes,
as a married woman, obviously I took my comment into
that level, but that doesn't mean that's for everybody.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
So have you ever had to uninvite someone or like,
I mean, maybe there were too many people that are
MVP because I've never been married. But I have to assume,
I don't know, if you've got one hundred spots, maybe
you invite one hundred and thirty people, one hundred and
twenty people. You assume there's a certain number of people
that won't are SVP, right, they won't show up? True,
so you but then what if everybody's like, oh, I
want to go wedding of the century or it's historic

(23:26):
friend's getting married. We never thought this would happen. I
have to see you with my own eyes, and so
I get one hundred percent attendance, and now all of
a sudden, I'm too many. I'm over. I feel like
that's something I got to figure out now, exactly right,
Like I need to figure out how to accommodate that
because I invited you. Well, up a table, get more
chairs out right, more shol lady, break back into the mall,
get the Cina bunch, and then get them ready for us,

(23:48):
Warm them up, Let's do it, you know, send kiky
to KMC, get in there. You know you remember it
to work. I'm sure it's just like riding a bike.

Speaker 10 (23:56):
I really think you know that. I think that I
can still move the line.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah, yeah, no, no, you were very proud of that. Yeah,
I feel like I can still hold it down. But
I mean you can't. You cannot uninvite people you've already invited.
That it's so weird. And because it's a celebration of love. Well,
you guys are getting married. You weren't married until now,
So then why I'm celebrating love too with the person
that I may marry someday, right right, Yeah, you cannot.

(24:22):
You can't at the last minute, just say no, sorry,
you can't come anymore.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
Yeah, uninviting somebody is so weird, Like you have have
a big reason to uninvite somebody. I'm talking like we're
about to fistfight, so you can't calm Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
So people are saying that they didn't think they committed
couple's policy made any sense considering they've been in a
serious relationship with their partner for nine years, which is
three years longer than the bride and groom. And again,
if it's a money thing, like if there aren't enough
spots or something, then don't you then either have to
adjust or I don't think you just calm people up

(24:53):
and say.

Speaker 10 (24:54):
I've heard of this happening before invitations are sent out,
So like when you're making your guests list, you're like,
you know what, we're only gonna give plus once to
marry couples.

Speaker 1 (25:03):
You know, I've heard of that.

Speaker 10 (25:05):
But to send out invites and then rescind the offer
is a diabolic like yes, and it's very tech, and
it's very cheap and cheap. If I was our friend,
I would text all the other single people that are
invited and like, let's take a stand stage the cool.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, let's get we're going somewhere else, all of us
or none of us exactly, and we're canceling the gift
card we sent you or whatever whatever it is, send
the china back exactly. People still do that. Uh, someone
texted to one night, what about the love of friendship?
They don't want to celebrate their marriage with the love
of their friends simply because they might be single. Well,

(25:39):
that's the thing, and and how about that friendship like
that friendship is over because because yeah, right, which one
of us gets to go? And why, well, how did
you pick one of the other? Huh huh? And then
how are we supposed to hang out, you know and
like go to Applebee's on Friday night or whatever and
we'll do whatever. Hey, Maddie, good morning, Hi, good morning.

(26:04):
So you're doing this. You're only inviting committed people to.

Speaker 14 (26:07):
The wedding, yes, and so not that they have to
be engaged or married. If they're in a long term relationship,
I'm more than happy to have them have a guest
come to the wedding. But if it's like all my
single friends gonna plus one and then they just bring
random people who I've never met, or they have no
intention of staying in a relationship with them for the

(26:29):
sake of just a plus one to the wedding, then no.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
So I'm with you on that. I kind of been
with you on that. Like, if you know, weddings are expensive,
money is tight. If I have five single friends, now
I don't. I don't know that I would actually do this, Maddie.
But if I in theory, I understand what you're saying.
If I had five single friends, that aren't dating anybody.
And let's say it's I don't know how much it plate.
I'm just making this up. I'm making this up, whatever
it is. And so you're just gonna get on Tinder

(26:54):
or hinge your or you know, bumble or whatever, and
you're gonna match with somebody and invite them, and they're
gonna come to the wedding. I've never met you, you
have no context, you don't know anybody there, and I
got to pay for that simply because you don't want
to come by yourself. I know, I kind of feel
you on that.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Actually, yeah, yeah right.

Speaker 14 (27:11):
I mean no, no, I mean it's like it's about
one hundred and twenty bucks a plate, averaging.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
So so if I had ten single friends and you
all invite people, I'm never gonna see it again. That's
a g that I got to pay for your Tinder date,
you know what, I know. I actually I kind of
see what you're saying with that. But the difference here, though, Maddie,
is that you're establishing that from the beginning. You're saying, hey,
if you're not seeing somebody, you don't get a plus one,
and you're sending the invitation accordingly. These people just went

(27:40):
back and you know, selectively, then removed people from the
invitation list at the last minute because they didn't approve
of the I don't know, they weren't together long enough
for something. You can't do that.

Speaker 11 (27:52):
No, I agree with that that you cannot do.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
All right, Well, Maddie, congratulations. I hope your wedding's great.
I hope your single friends still like you afterwards. Oh no,
you glad you called by.

Speaker 8 (28:02):
See But like I personally, like I know, my single
friends are my friends longer than I've even known my
fiance who's not my husband, right, So, like, I want
them at my wedding. Those are my people. Like they've
seen me through my worst and my best. So I
want them there, single or not.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
And I will.

Speaker 8 (28:17):
I will cough up the money the little one hundred
twenty dollars plate, you know, for their tender date, if
that's what they're gonna bring. But to be honest you,
most of my friends wouldn't bring a tender date. If
they were gonna bring somebody, they bring somebody that they're seeing.
If not, I think they're comfort enough to come alone.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Well, so you have fun with them.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I think it's about the guests like, you know, comfort too,
like who wants to go?

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Like I don't know, I feel like right, you know,
like or at least give somebody that option, right, that's
your choice. You know. I'm gonna do it like you
did it, Poulin, except even because so Paulina got married
a couple years ago. She got married in Vegas. Yes,
I did, Okay, So it was a destination wedding. It
was a good time.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
Thank you, the iconic with a little whe wedding chap.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Yeah, it was an Elvis thing. And then the you
know the guy who.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Put it, yeah in the air with the iyebron, he said,
we're all married, and then I want.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
A g movie to the private room at Magiano's, which
I couldn't have been happier because I remember what I
ate at your wedding. I mean, I don't care anybody
says I remember what I ate at your wedding. I
don't remember when I ate at my sister's wedding. It
some caterer. Oh no, they were coming out with all
the classics.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yeah, oh the zucchini. Was still talking about the zucchini
to this day.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I was excited. But I see what you did because
it's like, well, it's a commitment to go. You had
to buy airline ticket, you know, you had to, and
you were probably less likely to get riv for affort
your wedding because it was just going to take that
much more effort. I am going to get married somewhere
way further away. If I ever get married, I'm thinking, yes, yes,

(29:37):
I'm thinking as far away as possible. It's like ooh,
you know, and then the people that I don't want
to go, they're not going to make the effort. And
then that you got invited because I'm a little bit
I'm in my you know, early to mid forties, and
which means I know a lot of people, which means
if I ever got married, then I would have It
would be a very difficult process to figure out who
gets to come and who doesn't, because you know, you
get to a certain part of your life. I think

(29:57):
everybody in this room could could relate to this. Everybody
that you know thinks they should be at your big stuff,
but yet you don't. You may not think that about them.
Problems solved. I'm getting married on an island in the
middle of the Pacific. You've now I'm getting married in Guam,

a free month of rent because my car desperately needs
some repairs. I rely on my car to get to
work and earn some extra money on the side. I
work as a custodian at the post office and I
do Uber eats on the side. My twenty fourteen Jetta
is reaching its wits end, and I'm afraid if I
don't repair it soon, it might break down. This would

(32:09):
be such a blessing. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this. Yeah,
you gotta the Jetta's got to be running. If you're
doing the Uber eats you know, because like the laziest
person ever is Q. I'm always ordering Uber eats. The
Jeta needs to be working because that's my chariot to
nutrition or not really booze. Absolutely, Yeah, so you've got

(32:30):
a lot going on right now.

eighty breakdown recently and I had to take out a
lot for that. It's just been one thing after another.
So yeah, this would be amazing, very helpful.

Speaker 12 (32:47):
This is so so so much of an example of
what goes on in life because you got someone like
is great, she's working two jobs, killing herself, she's got
a car she's been driving forever, she's being very full,
and yet things happen and it just disrupts the entire
ability to pay for just the regular bills month to month.

Speaker 15 (33:10):
So is Quali, how much did you have to borrow
just to get your air conditioning working again?

Speaker 9 (33:15):
Five thousand dollars?

Speaker 1 (33:20):
It's a non negotiable, right, I mean, especially right now
with as hot as it's been. You gotta have It's
a big deal. You can't just say skip it, you know,
and you got to have a caller, especially if you're
working two jobs. You can't skip that and then rent
you got to pay your rent, So I mean, it's
it's just.

Speaker 15 (33:36):
A odd Well, I'm gonna tell you we're gonna help out.

I like a man that go to work.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
Yeah, he beat.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Up with his feet on the ground that he gets there.

Speaker 10 (34:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
That's Fred's show. Is you told me something out this week?

Speaker 14 (35:01):
What I do?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
There's a there's an old school phrase that you heard
this week, and you want to know why why it's
not more commonplace in the nomenclature. Yeah, you heard me,
I said nomenclature. It was Norman Siris, Norman, Clay Norman.

(35:22):
So what's the old school phrase that you want to hear?
You want it back? Yeah?

Speaker 10 (35:26):
This like whoever came up with this really did their
biggest one. Like it just hits so different when somebody
says it. The email read for crying out loud, and
I like.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Step back in my chair, like you know what?

Speaker 14 (35:39):
Hell?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, for crying out loud? Ever been left waiting by
the phone. It's the Fred Show. Angela, good morning, Welcome
to the program. How are you hi, Good morning.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
I'm doing okay, but I'm feeling really confused right now.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yes, of course, and that's why we're here waiting by
the phone. We are public servants and we're going to
try and figure out if you've been ghosted. What's going on?
You met a guy, his name is Luke. Why don't
you tell us how you met, about any dates you've
been on, and then what's happening now?

Speaker 4 (36:09):
And while you're confused, Yeah, well we met on him
and once we matched, we were talking so much, just
like a ton, and our messages were really fourtatious. So
we planned a date. And so this is where I
think hes got really weird. When I got to the date,
I walked up to the table and said hi to him,
and I sat down, and then he just looked like

(36:31):
he saw a ghost, and I was like, uh, that's weird.
But then out of nowhere, it got even weirder because
he started speaking Italian and then claiming that he doesn't
even speak English, which doesn't make any sense because we
were talking and texting so much all in.

Speaker 16 (36:48):
English, and yeah, okay, I just had.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
No idea what was going on. It was the weirdest
thing ever.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Well, I'm trying to figure this out. So this guy,
this guy had no issue communicating with you via text, right,
so he knows English?

Speaker 4 (37:02):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Okay, but then you go on his date, and then
all of a sudden it's broken English to only Italian,
and you're sitting there going, wait, Mane, well how did
you talk to me before then? Exactly?

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, okay, why don't you get on like Google Translator
or something and then start texting him in Italian? Maybe
that's the problem. Maybe that's why you haven't heard from him,
because now that maybe he had amnesia and he just
forgot how to speak English.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
I mean, I don't know. It was just like, you know,
I would never even normally go on waiting by the phone,
but this was just way too weird for me to
not share. To try to figure out what was going
on with.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
This, that's where we come in. We're gonna call this guy.
I'm gonna get out of my Italian translation machine here
and see if I can figure out how to communicate
with him. Luke the Italian Okay, we're gonna call him
in just a second and see if we can figure
out what's going on. You'll be on the phone the
whole time, and the hope is always is that we
can straighten this out and set you up on another
date that we pay for. Sound good, Hey, Angela. Let's

(37:57):
call this guy Luke. You guys, you met on on Hinge,
one of the apps, and you were chatting and it
was flirtatious and it was all good, and you planned
a date together. You go on the date, you sit
down and the guy's facial expression changes and then all
he'll do is speak to you in Italian. It's almost
like you forgot how to speak English.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Yep, that's exactly what happened. And so because I don't
know any Italian and it was just super awkward, I
got up and left. And you know, I haven't seen
or heard from him ever since that happened.

Speaker 1 (38:28):
He never like he spoke Italian and then he never wavered,
like he'd never no other words of English came out. Nope,
not at all exact, but he knew English when he
was texting you. He used to speak clear right. Okay, yeah,
all right, let's call this guy right now. Good luck, Okay,
thank you. Well that's interesting. Hey Chow Luke Choo. My

(38:55):
name is Fred. I'm calling for the Friend Show, the
morning radio show, and I have to tell you that
you are on the radio right now, and I would
need your permission to continue with the call. Can which

easier for him to pretend. I guess this is his
way out of something. Can you think of anything, Angela?

Speaker 4 (41:25):

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I'm not saying that you're not attractive? I'm just saying like,
is there any did you change your hair? I'm trying
to think of all the things we've heard over there.
Did you put your you know, bare feet up on
the table, like? Did you do anything weird? No?

Speaker 4 (41:36):
I can't think of anything weird that I did. And
my pictures are recent. I think they're pretty recent.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
I'm going to give you one more chance. Luke, is
there do you want to tell us why you haven't
called Angela in English? Okay? Fine, there is there's Luke?
Got you got me? Okay, Look, I.

Speaker 3 (42:02):
Pan we did.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
You panicked? Why did you pad it.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
I showed up, and I swear she looked completely different
from her photos, and I didn't know what to do.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
So my brain just shut down.

Speaker 3 (42:15):
And somehow, I don't know, pretending.

Speaker 7 (42:18):
Not to speak I thought, pretending not to speak English
felt like the least mean option.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Well, you obviously speak English because you planned the date
in English, so I mean, I could understand if you'd
never met before that you could try this one. But
like you answered the phone in English, you texted her
in English.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
Like I said, my brain turned off and I didn't
know what to do.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Okay, Well, I wish I could ask you in Italian,
but I can't. Uh, would you like to go out
with her again? We'll pay for it. I think I
know the answer. You can go to a nice Italian restaurant.
You can order Italian. She'll be very impressed. Would you
like to go out with her again? I just I
don't know.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
I don't I don't think that I'm not I'm not
just not attracted to her.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
And I didn't want to hurt or feelings, and.

Speaker 7 (43:03):
I did hurt the feelings, and so I don't feel
like it's for the best.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
Well, I mean, a better question when be Angela, after
hearing all of this, would you even want to go
out with him again?

Speaker 4 (43:11):
No, I wouldn't because it's just ridiculous what he did,
and he really didn't have to do all that. He
could have just told me, or we could have just,
you know, like had our day and it didn't have
to go on for long. It could have been, like,
you know, he could have said that he had to
leave or something after we were there for like, I
don't know, thirty minutes or something like you could give

(43:33):
someone thirty minutes of your time, right and then like
it could have been over. He really didn't have to
pretend to not know any English and just teak Italian
and then you know, now my feelings really are hurt.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
So well, I think it's kind of a fair standard.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
I don't want to go out with him.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
You know, you agree to go on a date with
somebody for drinks. Typically it's two drinks. Typically that's just
kind of you know, everyone's going to make time and
get ready and go out and do all that. It's
usually kind of like universe, like we're gonna sit there
for two drinks and if it doesn't work out, then
that's fine, whatever. But or you could just start speaking
another language and pretend like you don't speak English anymore,
that you just have amnesia and for good.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
But anyway, look, no, we'll try anything, won't you.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I mean, this is a new one. We've never heard
this one before. But Luke Audios and Angela, good luck
to you, Fred Show, good morning. Thanks for having us
on the radio, on the iHeart app Live and anytime
search for The Freends Show on demand. Man, you're so rude, Kiki.
What did that mean? I can't believe you. You're hanging
out with your rich sister in law, trying to do
rich sister in law stuff. Oh yes, I love how

(44:33):
I ask you about stuff that you told me about
and then you're like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (44:37):
Say, Kiki, you are so rude.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
You are rude. Though you're rude, you're d You told
so you you wanted to go get it facial because
you're trying to hang out. You're trying to be like
your rich sister in law. You're trying to be yes, okay,
and and so they gave you an option when you
win to get the facial. We haven't gotten it yet,
so oh I see you. I scheduled it. It looks

(45:01):
like your skin looks flawless. It looks like you did
thank you booth. Yeah yeah, I mean I could have it.
Looks it's glowing as though it already happened. Well, thank you.
So you're scheduling it, and they give you some choices.

Speaker 10 (45:12):
Yes, and on the like, they make you fill out
this very detailed intake form, almost like you're going to
a doctor's appointment.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
When's the last time you had sex? Do you have?
You know that strains for official at least that yeah,
so yeah, that's a weird extreme. I wouldn't Why are
you asking me this?

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Right?

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Why are you asking me none of your business?

Speaker 3 (45:30):
I'm gonna say nothing.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
No, It's like I'm a physician, fred No, I don't
care none of your business for official. They're asking you
all kinds of personal questions, probably not that one, but
all right. Yes.

Speaker 10 (45:38):
And then on this intake form it says, during your appointment,
would you like moderate talking, no talking, excessive talking, like
you know, lots of chatter and explanations of what the
services are happening to you and me.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Be and me.

Speaker 10 (45:54):
After I get off this radio, I have no works,
so I'm like, oh, for sure, no talking. My sister
and I'm like, hey, you know, I filled it out
and I said, I've never seen a form that asks
you how much do you want to talk? And I said,
I went ahead and put no, and my sister and
I was like, oh, girl, like we chat the whole appointment.

Speaker 3 (46:11):
She's really cool, she's really nice.

Speaker 10 (46:13):
And now I feel like a jerk because when I
show up, the lady's going to be like hello and
just start.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
She's not going to talk to me. So yeah, well
I would probably talk to you. I'm thinking she'll probably
greet you. And I literally say no talking. Be friendly. Well,
because it's not supposed to be a relaxing experience. I
know some people do it for the esthetics. Some people
do it for the aesthetic and because it feels good
to them. Right. I don't like people touching me like that,
so I don't do that kind of stuff. But I

(46:41):
I don't see a problem with that.

Speaker 7 (46:42):
I like when there's like a set aside time for
the no talking, So at first they'll explain what they're
doing and what the benefits are, and then there's a
relaxation part of the facial where they they they're quiet
for a little bit, because.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
You could darn your fall asleep during those things when
I have had them done. And I'm not trying to
have a conversation with you, right, I'm not really going
any I wonder if the people, if you're somebody who
gives this kind of service eight five five five one
oh three five, I kind of wonder if you're not
just then relieved when somebody says no talking, because that
means I don't have to say anything. We don't have

(47:15):
to do this. I don't really know you, so I
don't have to come up with questions. I don't have
to you know, I don't have to come up with
hand so only think about the tariffs, you know, I mean,
I don't. I don't have to say anything to you. So,
if anything, you're probably doing this woman a favor. I
don't think she's gonna take it personally at all at all,
or man or whomever it is. She can either be like.

Speaker 10 (47:34):
Us, where we won't you know, we don't mind not talking,
or she's Bella and Bella is offended because I said,
I don't want to hope. So I'm nervous about doing
this service with this woman because sometimes the estheticians want
to explain every single step. You don't want that, No, Like,
I don't care. I don't plan on leaving here with
the skin routine. Don't sell me your products. Let me

(47:55):
just come in here, get this little facial that I
save my compinion's up for. I don't have money for
your skincare cause you know they're going to try to
sell you. You know, I use this exfoliating moisture rider with
cream and din your sigh if you don't buy it.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
There's like water from the Amazon rainforest or something like
tripped off a leaf or whatever. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
we collect this one drop at a time in the
middle of the rainforest.

Speaker 17 (48:16):
You know, you and your til I don't want it.
Do you know what kind of facially you're getting, like
a hydrofacial. It's what she calls a starter facial. It's
like first time client.

Speaker 10 (48:29):
And so I know she's gonna come she and tell
me I'm very dehydrated and I need to do this
and that that's fine. Just don't sell me nothing. I've
already gave you all my moneys to come there.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
I would think people would be relieved by this. I
woul think I don't have to talk to you about anything.
We don't have to make small talk. The only thing
i'd want to know is if you're gonna do something
that might be potentially painful, like those little extraction things
you do, Like I'd like a heads up for that, Like, hey,
but I'm gonna start picking up your face. You're like, okay,
so I can prepare myself mentally for the stab and please, yeah,
please prepare me for that. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (48:57):
But if if I was a decision, I would love
my clients to say no talking. Jason and I actually
had this experience with Uber where he keeps getting Uber
drivers that say they are dead.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Yes, but when we get in the car they're not dead.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Then stop it, stop it, on multitude of time, stop it.
He's like, do you have a study like in your
app that only asks for like hearing drivers.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
I was like, I don't think that's an option, because
I think they do that so that you don't so
you're aware of it, you know, any kind of disability,
so that if you're trying to get their attention or
something and I can't hear very well, then you don't
feel like they're being rude. But you're saying this is
a this is a strategy. I don't know, but it's
an experience. What they're going there so they don't have
to talk to you. I mean, but I don't want
to talk to anyone because I am half to have legally,

(49:42):
I'm legal, I'm truly one percent. My left ear does
not work. Yeah, I head men and jedis when I
was four, and it doesn't work. I should just start
saying that to people and then they won't talk to me,
and then I won't have to talk to them. It's
not that I don't like people. I like the people
listen to this show, but I don't like making small talk.
I really don't. So they all at a new stre Yeah.
I were in an uber on the way back from

(50:03):
Nevad like this guy was just Chad.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
And on the way to the uber, I was like,
oh it just so you know, like it says this,
so yeah, Jason is like.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Kiki, just so you know, the guy is deaf, and
he opened the door like hey.

Speaker 10 (50:14):
Y'all, and I'm like, wait a minute, he's back to
He's going can you guys keep it down?

Speaker 1 (50:19):
Then I thought you were death, Like what's going on?
It says right, here, like.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Do I haven't you know?

Speaker 1 (50:29):
I don't know. That's I mean, that is kind of
brilliant to be honest with. When I was someone texted
sixth ree olo. When I was in beauty school to
become an esthetician, we had to tell them every single
benefit of every single thing we were going to do,
and people would not care, even if they were sleeping.
We had to continue telling them. It was horrible. I
would be so relieved sitting there talking to a sleeping

(50:51):
person like a psycho. There you go, there you go.
You spit straight facts. Well, at least once I say them,
they're facts, Jason, to make them real. Yeah, today we're
giving away eighty thousand eggs and you're like, oh god,
I guess we are. We are now? Yeah, I would
take that be a good prize. Actually, well, if you

(51:12):
ask my mom, you can keep eighty thousand eggs in
the refrigerator for like until like from prehistoric times. You
can get me. I don't know. She keeps eggs for
a long time. I don't know how long. I think
you can keep them a long time, but I don't know.
Sometimes I'm like, how long have those eggs been there?
How long can you keep an egg in the refrigerator.

Speaker 7 (51:29):
It depends on in the fridge because if you don't
take the film off, you can leave them on the
counter for a long period of time, but you can't.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
It's hard to get them with the film.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
I'm talking about like a fresh pharmag.

Speaker 1 (51:38):
Yeah, five weeks the fridge. I have a feeling those
eggs a littler than that.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Right when stored properly in their original cartons. You know
how some people like take it out of their carden
and then put it in the fridge carton. Yeah, now
that affects the freshness. Eggs them in the cart and
keep them in the syrophoam or paper.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Yeah, I don't know, Like those eggs have been there
for a while, way from the hatch or something. I
don't know what she's doing, but i'll tell you. Food
safety is a is an interesting topic among the older
general I say older older than me, older generation, because
I'm I'm the person that if it's been there for
a little bit and if it's getting especially if it's

(52:19):
getting close to that date, or if I just have
a feeling about it, just just get a new one. Like,
I don't know, I'm not I'm not too. I'm not
trying to push it as it pertains to the food. Say,
you know, sell buy used by I don't know. It
makes me a little nervous, you know what I mean.

Speaker 10 (52:39):
Yeah, the older I get though, I'm starting to be
like more like Mama Fred, Like I have eggs now.
For a long time before I was very like, oh
if it says the date, I'm throwing it out right away.
Now I kind of like smell things. I'll taste it
first and see, well, how do you taste an egg
before you cook?

Speaker 8 (52:54):
What?

Speaker 10 (52:54):
No, the eggs Look, I'll keep an egg forever, you
know what I'm saying. Once I crack it and see,
it's just it looks like a regular egg. It's getting fried, scrambled,
laid to the side.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
But this woman doesn't believe in crystals. But she's apparently
a food scientist and just trust nature. Now you must
have a stomach of steel. I know it's wild out here.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
Like I just ate some old salsa. I saw that
that was okay.

Speaker 10 (53:15):
And everybody like it was. But it was split like
people were like, throw it away, No, it has onions
in it. You can't do that. And I ate it
and I'm alive. Usually smell will tell you yeah yeah, yeah,
But eggs, I just feel like when you crack it,
it looks regular.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
I mean, think about it when they make the dates.

Speaker 7 (53:30):
So they have to be super conservative because they're not
trying to get like suede.

Speaker 3 (53:35):
Yeah, they wanted to buy more.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah, but I'm a hypocrite because then if you go
in my bathroom, I've got like, I don't know oil.
Well all right now, well not that you know, I
don't know lotion is what I meant to say. But
then I went on some kind of a Diddy track,
so I was never invited to those parties, thank god.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
Yeah, Stanley to Jesus.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Yeah right, well that's that's what I'm talking about it.
I'm talking about olive oil. Sometimes I use that on
my face, you know, it's to keep How do you
think I look so young all the time? This partially
gray hair? How do you get right? I'm older than
the eggs? Yea, you are gray in like a good way.
Well they're gray in all right?

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Yeah, I think that's called stress.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
But uh yeah, I saw a few new ones you okay.

Speaker 1 (54:19):
Yeah, no, I'm doing great, hanging like right here, I
mean my emo face. It's fun. Don't worry about it. No,
But like, I don't know, there's stuff like my uh
my old cleaning person came once a month. That's that's
how that's how boogy I am. I have a cleaning
person once a month, and she'd come in there and
like I'd come home and there was just like she
would take pictures of everything she threw away, and then

(54:41):
she threw it away, and I would come home. I
had nothing, Like there was no lotion. I had nothing
like a face loads or whatever. She's like, well it
with the date on it was too I'm like, I
cannot remember the last time that I in my bathroom
I looked at a date on something, honestly, And maybe
I should be more focused on that than on the
age of the eggs. I didn't even know that eggs.

(55:01):
He never looked at a lotion bottle like, yeah, apparently
they expire. You're not supposed to use him anymore, and
so she throw them away. I'd be like, now, hold on,
but the problem is some of the stuff obviously was
getting old because I didn't use it very oll alo
vera or something, you know, But then when you need it,
you need it, So I'm like, oh, I got that,
and then I go look for it's not there. I'm like, ah,
Gabby threw it away. Yeah, I guess she moved away.

(55:23):
I think after cleaning my house she moved away. She retired.
I think she still lives here. Actually she just said
she moved away, so she had to clean my house anymore. No,
she sent replacements. But yeah, I don't. I don't know.
Do you go through the bathroom and Kiki doesn't. But
I guess every item in there has an expiration date
on it, either, like neosporin. How often you use neosporin.

(55:43):
I don't know if that's I'm assuming it has a
date on it. But that's an example of something that
you don't use that often, and then when you go
to use it, you expect it to be there, and
then you know, unless you have Gabby and then it
gets thrown away. No, Gabby, it means many years. No.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
Yeah, and makeup has it too.

Speaker 7 (55:59):
But I'm like trying to get an eye infection the
way I have old mass hear on you too.

trick that I use with my eggs. And if you

be old. But a good egg will say at the
bottom or just lift up just a little bit.

step I may or may not take. But that's good
