Red show Is.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We talked about AI and all the subscription AI subscriptions
that people have it.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
I'm like, I don't have one AI subscription? What am

Yeah, yeah, you can tell when it's definitely Instagram.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Our captions are written by AI.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Yeah, yeah, a lot of them.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I tweak them though, See that that's your first mistake
is that you went to tajibt. You typed one, you
had to type in right, and then you're like, oh,
I was awful. You have to tweak it. You can't
just like go in.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
But I don't.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
If I'm doing that, I can just do it myself.
If I'm tweaking it. For having us on the radio,
on the iHeart app live and anytime search for the
Freends Show on demand. I got some. I got wedding news.
It's not my wedding news. No, sorry, my mom heard
that and burked up and sorryness that my it is
not my wedding news. I got two things. So, first
of all, when did it ever become a thing for

(01:08):
someone to propose at someone else's wedding?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
What? Like?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
When when did that ever become something that anyone thought
was a good idea? Because at a recent Jacksonville wedding,
a guest named Alissa her boyfriend Josh.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I love how now in.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
These stories they put your full name, like, oh cool,
So now we can go to your LinkedIn find out
where you work and like harassed you there too, Like
you know what I mean, Like that's not cool. But
then again, don't do this then you won't to have
the problem. So Josh, he's Alyssa's boyfriend. He dropped to
one knee and proposed right on the dance floor at
someone else's wedding without asking the bride or groom for permission.

(01:44):
The bride was caught off guard, where there was surprise
and supportive no he didn't ask, but say yes. The
mom was shared on TikTok, where when viral, of course,
sparking a.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Very heated debate. Critics slammed the move.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's disrespectful, and attention grabbing, with some labeling it hillbilly
trailer parkish.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
They argue that it overshadowed.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
A couple of Special Day supporters saw it as spontaneous
and active love, noting that weddings are about celebrating unity. Yes,
the unity of the person who paid for the wedding,
not you. You do not get to use someone else's
party as you're catering for your event.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Yeah, right, that's kind of what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
So I mean, like, what are people thinking, Like, in
what world has had a good idea? I'm honestly, I'm
pre laid back guy. I'd be pissed. I'd be wait
a minute, I waited for this day. We planned it,
we invited everybody, we paid for all the drinks, we
paid for all this entertainment and everything, and now you
somehow try and make it about you, this about me today, Well,

(02:46):
really it's about you.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
Know whoever I'm married, I know someone who shared their
engagement during the wedding weekend of someone else's And even
I think even that's like a little bit off, just
to just maybe another time, you know what I mean.
And so the group of friends were there and they
announced it to everyone but it takes the shine away
from the couple wasn't on the wedding day.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
But I guess if you show up with a ring
and people are like, what's that? But then again, your
friends don't know you got engaged until you all get
together for someone else's event, Like, the least you could do, like,
let's say you get engaged on a Wednesday or even
a Saturday, and the following Saturday you're gonna see everybody.
The least you could do is let everybody know before
you see them, hey I got engaged, Yeah, ya, yay,
and get some of that initial surprise and stuff out,

(03:27):
because yeah, you go to somebody else's wedding weekend and
now everyone's like and not that it has to be
all about you, but like, why would you do something
to intentionally take the shine away from the person whose
events it is?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Yeah, and I feel like I wouldn't even as somebody
who let's just say I'm the one getting proposed to
at someone's wedding. It's a weird sin Stephen's day or thing,
but like I would feel like this isn't even about
me either, because we're literally at someone's day.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
I'd say no. So both sides be like, you're rude.
I don't want to mirror you. Yeah, I feel like
both sides like no, no matters really out the door
for everybody.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I mean, I'm curious quickly eight five three five Did
anyone do anything at anyone's wedding that either blew you
away or it was your way and that made you mad?
I think.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think the number one thing I can remember if
my sister's.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Wedding was and I God bless my parents, because they
paid for it, but they insisted on having certain people there,
and there were only certain number of spots. There was
a budget. It was you know, these are expensive whennings
are expensive, you know that. And there had to be
certain people there that my parents wanted because well, they
were paying for it.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
And then some of those people didn't show up.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Oh wow, and so and now granted I don't remember
if any of my sister's friends didn't show up, but
there were definitely people that my sister wanted that there
was there wasn't any room for. And so I'm not
blaming it on my parents because they were also upset
because they you know, there were empty seats at this thing.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
They paid for it. Either way, so they weren't happy either.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
But I mean, if you're going to RSVP yes to
a wedding, then you you should go. And if you're
not going to go, it should be very clear that
you can't go, and it better be a really good reason.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Oh, like emergency, like your arm fell off.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Yeah, your arm fell off, fell out of nowhere, you
got another arm?

Speaker 4 (05:00):
What about cooking up with.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Someone in one of the wedding parties, because that takes
the shine away from the couple over a wedding weekend.

Speaker 4 (05:05):
Are we cool with that?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Oh? It does.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
I'm kidding, but it does make everybody talk the next morning,
you know what I mean. And it's not about the
bride and the groom, it's about who hooked up with
the grooms.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
I've been on both sides of that one where the breakfast,
the Sunday morning brunch is a little awkward. Oh yeah, either,
because I was. Because if you're a single person, and
Caitlin you probably know this. I don't know Pauli enough.
You experienced this. Kiki, of course is single, but not really. Yeah,
and it doesn't happen so much. I guess it would,
but it was more like when people's first marriages. So
when I was like late twenties early thirties where people

(05:37):
were still very single and so you if you were
single and someone else was going to be single at
the wedding then and you didn't know the person, then
you were getting teed up for this. Like every wedding
I went to when I was single in my twenties
and thirties, it was like, oh, so and so is
gonna be there. You need to meet so and so,
you need so and so, you need so and so.
All you guys are gonna love each other. She lives
in Denver, but you're gonna love her whatevere whatever. And

(05:58):
then you meet and then you hit it off or
one of the other of you wants to hooking up
with someone else right, and then the next morning someone's bummed.
It's either I'm the one who was like, oh, I
thought we were gonna mess around, but like there's no guarantee.
We never met, you know it. It was just a
bride like, you know, gassing it up. Yeah, but she
was probably gassing it up times three to the other
guys and then you know, or I'm the one who

(06:18):
gets you know, you know, we wanted up hooking up
with some other guys like or girl or vice versa.
So yeah, the Sunday morning brunch could be a little awkward.
Oh boy, Paul, Paul, what have you done?

Speaker 1 (06:29):
What did you?

Speaker 8 (06:29):
Paul? Well, good morning, love you, love your chef.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Thank you, love you too, well, I love you too.
But what's this story? What did you do?

Speaker 8 (06:38):
So I actually got engaged at my sister's wedding.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
You better have a good reason for this.

Speaker 8 (06:47):
I do, I do. I had planned it out with
my sister and her trouval and we uh uh, everyone
we loved was there, Her family was there, family was there,
So we were surrounded by everybody we loved. My sister
thought it was a great idea as well, and it

(07:08):
was planned with DJ and so it gave me the
mic and the middle of the wedding after all the festivities,
and I pulled a chair out to the floor. I
requested Poll to come and sit in the chair and
got on one knee and proposed right then and there.

Speaker 9 (07:29):
Bruh.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
I love you, Paul, But you went ahead and just
hijacked the whole moment, like you went and did a
whole thing with a chair in the empty dance floor
and a microphone. I mean you, straight up, we did
a ninety degree turn on someone else's wedding. Now, I
appreciate that you asked for permission, but do you truly believe, Paul,
that your sister was in a position to tell you no,

(07:52):
don't do that.

Speaker 8 (07:55):
She would Okay, okay, all right. It was something that
my sister and I are very close, and her husband
we had been they were high school sweethearts.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
So I mean you asked. You asked.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
This person that we're talking about in the story didn't ask,
You did get permission.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
So and I see the logic.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Everybody's there, you know, when when you're going to get everybody
else there, unless it's a holiday or something like that.
So I see, I see where you're going. And it
was nice of you to ask for permission.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
But I don't know that.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think your sister is a very nice person, because
I think there are some people out there that would
have said no, not today.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
You know, yes, absolutely, when I said, I do agree
with that, I.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Know you asked.

Speaker 8 (08:36):
I did ask, And it wasn't like I said, hey,
you know what can I do this? It was a
mutual conversation of sharing and I talked about her about
proposing and when and that idea came up is totally destorative.
And then we you know doctor kerb soon to be

(08:59):
a husband at that time. And they all thought it
was a good idea.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
All right, well you you ran you ran it by it.
It's good. Paul. Hey, thanks for Sarah Man.

Speaker 8 (09:08):
Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Thank you you too.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Man.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Oh this is good. Hey Shannie, Hello Shannie? What your
mom did?

Speaker 2 (09:17):
What?

Speaker 1 (09:18):
This is your wedding? Yes?

Speaker 9 (09:21):
So this was my wedding. My mom had been having
an affair. Oh, and decided to tell her husband at
my wedding that she had been having the affair. And
not only that, but she invited her a fair partner
to my Well, no fair.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Partner is a very nice way of saying it is
they're a partner in the affair. Wow, wow, this all happened.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
Having to call the police because like he was flying. Yeah,
it was it was a whole It was crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
I heard.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
That's good luck though, if that happens on your wedding day.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
So you're going, wow, oh no, have you ever forgiven
your mom for this?

Speaker 2 (09:59):
Like? Have you have you guys discussed it? Are you talking?
Are you over it, like, how are you feeling?

Speaker 9 (10:07):
It's complicated?

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I would imagine I would have that story alone
gives me a snapshot about what that relationship might look like.
And and and I you know, I hate to judge
sean Ny, but who who that relationship might be mostly about?
I feel like mom might be a person who's a
lot about Mom. Is that is that accurate? Oh?

Speaker 4 (10:25):
She's very nice?

Speaker 8 (10:26):
Ah?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yes, yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I'm not I'm not a licensed psychologist, but I can
spot one when I hear it. Thank you, Seanny, have
a good day you thank you? Oh my god, that
is amazing. What is wrong with you?

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I betrayal your own mom?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
What is wrong with you?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
And then my second wedding story in the segment. I
have questions about this too, because honestly, I want to
know who this really looks worse on. But this was
viral last week, the last week on TikTok. But during
a wedding reception, a groom shot guess by revealing that
his bride had cheated on him with his best man.
Now we find out this is a bit. It still

(11:03):
isn't whatever, But the father of the bride concluded his
speech at the wedding. The groom stood up and asked
attendees to open envelopes placed on their tables. Inside were
photos exposing the affair that this guy's wife was having
with the best man. He then announced he was leaving,

(11:23):
dropped the mic, and his entire family walked out with him.
The bride's family, who had funded the wedding, was left
to deal with the aftermath. This was shared on a
UK podcast, The Unfiltered Bride in a sense gone viral.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Now here's my thing. Did he marry her?

Speaker 2 (11:38):
So he went through with the actual ceremony and then
or did he do this in front of everybody? Like
on the altered because it was he said the bride.
The father of the bride had a speech that usually
happens after you get married. So he went through with
the ceremony, so he married her, and then I guess
you can get an annullment. But like this was obviously
you know, there was forethought here.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
This was planned.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
I mean somebody went to FedEx Kinkos and got everything
printed out and put it all your envelopes on the
tables and stuff, and then and the family talked about this.
So my thing is yeah, I mean of course, you
have every right to be scorned and angry that you're
being cheated on with your presumably best friend and your
wife and this wedding who's happening in the whole thing,
But like, does it make you look worse as the

(12:21):
person who scorned to make everybody come to this wedding
and then plan this big production?

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Oh? I love this, I think he this is chef's kiss.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
This is how you expose somebody, and you build it
all up. You have this big ceremony, you go into
the reception and then boom, and then you drop the
mic and walk away.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
I think he did a phenomenal job.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Now, except for the story that I would have had
for the show. I mean, if you made me fly
across the country for this, I'd have been pissed.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Really, Mike, So wait a minute. You knew a week.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Ago when you were at you know, at Kinko's copies
that's even a thing anymore, at the photoshop, but you
know whatever, you were in there, the copying stuff and
making envelopes of things.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
You knew that.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
And I still had to fly across the country to Tuscaloosa,
you know, to go to your wedding only for you
to know this wasn't gonna happen to be a big
production walk out. I mean, yeah, I guess if your
team groom, then you're gonna have a great night at
the bar later. Yes, and it's a good story, but
I who does this actually make look worse though? I mean,
of course it's the cheater, But then this is pretty
like I don't know, this is like, this is not

(13:21):
the best. Look like you look you look like mad,
mad mad, like like.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Like Penny mad.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Yeah, but how about just cancel the wedding, keep the
money and then put on the wedding website these pictures
and then for the link to everybody. So it's time saving,
it's cost effective, and you're accomplishing the same thing. Oh no,
So you would have if this happened, and God forbid,
Big Tim were this guy, you would we'd all go
to your wedding. We'd have the flowers and the you know,
we'd have the whole thing and catering and the bar,

(13:50):
and we'd have the DJ there, the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh yes, and then you'd blow it up.

Speaker 7 (13:55):
I would blow it up, Yes, yes, because it just
makes it that more drum. Everybody's in the same room.
Everybody's reacting at the same time. The bride is stunned,
the best man is stunned, everybody that needs to be
this is this is phenomenal. I love it. Man, I
did a slide show. I would have pointation whatever you need.

(14:18):
Really yeah, yeah, because I like to embarrassed people that
deserve to be embarrassed. I really, I really enjoy that,
like thoroughly, especially if you hurt me in that way.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I mean, I'm marrying you, and it's it's my best
friend and my husband right in my scenario, like creeping
around like yeah, that hurts, and we're both gonna be
hurt together.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
I know it's not great. My therapist doesn't like, let
I do that. But if I'm hurt, you're gonna be
hurt too.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Oh neat Well, okay, keeping very pretty.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
I'm working on it.

Speaker 8 (14:45):
Well.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
And I guess you paid for everything, so like you know,
I mean, you're committed. I get I suppose, but again,
you know, if I had a flight of Dallas for this.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Right right, you would love this.

Speaker 7 (14:58):
This is the best story, I guess, But I you know,
he can't pay for this type of entertainment, Like there's
no movie that would entertain you more than being at
a wedding opening up an envelope and seeing the groom
or the bride with somebody else.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
You're like, what, And.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I'm not saying it's right, but sometimes I think the
petty person winds up looking dumber, looking a little foolish.
It's like, so you took all that time and energy
to come up with your with your response. The best
response probably would have been just to embarrass them and
then just bounce.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
But like you thought about it. Entertainment Report. He's on
the fread show.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
I sold you yesterday that Lauren Hill hit the stage
super late at Essence Fest over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
In New Orleans, like two thirty in the morning.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Late, and by then most of the eighty three thousand
seats Superdome had cleared out, obviously, and Lauren has a
reputation of being late. Even said during one of her
acceptance speeches at an awards show that I remember that
we should be lucky to get her whenever we do so,
and I kind of agree.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
But fans online were split.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
Some blamed her for being late, others called it a
festival fail. Turns out S's actually admitted it was their fault,
not Lauren's. They say she arrived on time and the
delays were not on her, but she still gave it
her all, performed and shouted out.

Speaker 4 (16:08):
The people who stayedly.

Speaker 6 (16:09):
I think she ended up like three to three in
the morning, which is crazy. I'm sure there were a
lot of fines. Lewis Capaldi has teamed up with Betterhelp
to give fans seven hundred and thirty four thousand hours
of free online therapy. He's always been super open about
his own mental health struggles and says that therapy is
the reason he was able to be a musician again.
He struggles with tourettes, all kinds of things, which is

(16:31):
why he wants to support fans who have supported him,
hence giving away a month of free therapy, which is
pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
We haven't seen someone do that to my knowledge.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
In lieu of summer and the fourth of July, a
new study ranked the top ten cities for barbecue in
the US. And you know I love a food story,
so coming in at number one, Kansas City, Okay, I'll
give it to you then, la which surprised me. Houston,
Saint Louis, Austin, Chicago, Vegas, Memphissville, and New York.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
That's the top ten.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
However, Austin had the highest number of top rated barbecue restaurants,
followed by La Saint Louis Vegas and Chicago and Nashville
both with twelve. Which I want to talk to whoever
thinks we have We got to talk about that.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
Text me. Actually it text us if you know.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
But speaking of the fourth too, Tom Brady was partying
on a yacht with newly single Dacota Johnson and Kate
Hudson in Abiza. So it was for someone's birthday. But
maybe maybe there's something there. I have no idea. I
just wanted to throw that out there.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
Fred Show, good morning, Thanks for having us on the radio,
on the iHeart app Live and anytime search for The
Fred Show on demand.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
Man, you's so rude. Kiki did that. I can't believe you.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
You hanging out with your rich sister in law trying
to do rich sister in law stuff. Oh yes, I
love how I ask you about stuff that you told
me about and then you're like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Yes, say, Kiki, you are so rude.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
You are rude. Though you're rude, you're ridden.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
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. I'm trying trying
to yes, okay, And and so they gave you an
option when you win to get the facial.

Speaker 10 (18:08):
Well I haven't gotten it yet. So oh, I see
I scheduled it. It looks 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.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Thank you. So you're scheduling, and they give you some choices.

Speaker 7 (18:22):
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 4 (18:27):
When's the last time you had sex? Do you have?

Speaker 2 (18:29):
You know? That's strains for official at least that yeah.
So yeah, that's a weird.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I wouldn't. Why are you asking me this right? Why
are you asking me none of your business?

Speaker 4 (18:40):
I'm gonna say nothing.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, It's like I'm a physician, fred No, I don't
care none of your business for a facial. They're asking
you all kinds of personal questions, probably not that.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
One that all right?

Speaker 7 (18:48):
Yes, 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 explanation of what
the services are happening to you and me, be and me.
After I get off this radio, I have no words.
So I'm like, oh, for sure, no talking. My sister

(19:10):
and I'm like, hey, you know, I filled it out
and I said, I've never seen a form.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
That asks you how much do you want to talk?

Speaker 7 (19:16):
And I said I went ahead and put no, and
my sister and law was like, oh, girl, like I
we chat the whole appointment.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
She's really cool, she's really nice.

Speaker 7 (19:23):
And now I feel like a jerk because when I
show up, the lady's going to be like hello and
just start.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
She's not going to talk to me.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
So yeah, well I don't probably talk to you. I'm
thinking she'll probably greet you. And I literally saying 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 I don't see a problem with that.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
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
RelA exation part of the facial where they they they're
quiet for a little bit.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Because 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 good.
I wonder if the people, if you're somebody who gives
this kind of service a five, five, five, nine, 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

(20:24):
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 hey,
So only think about the tariffs, you know.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I mean, I don't have to.

Speaker 2 (20:35):
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 going to take it personally at all at all
or man or whomever it is.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
She can either be.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Like 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 telp. 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

(21:04):
me just come in here, get this little facial that
I save my opinions up for. I don't have money
for your skincare because you know they're going to try
to sell you. You know, I use this exfoliating moisturizer
with cream and your sigh if you don't buy it.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
There's like water from the Amazon rainforest, like dripped off
a leaf or whatever. Yeah, it's like we collect this
one drop at a time in the middle of the rainforest.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
You know, all my money on you and your tesl.
I don't want it.

Speaker 11 (21:31):
Do you know what kind of facially you're getting, like
a hydrofacial. It's what she calls a starter facial. So
it's like a first time client and so I know
she's gonna come. She and tell me I'm very dehydrated
and I need to do this and that.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
That's fine, just don't sell me nothing. I've already gave
you all my money to come.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
I would think people would be relieved by this. I
think we all go.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
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 going to 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 staff.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
And please, yeah, please prepare me for that.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:07):
But if Bob's a decision, I would love my client
to say no talking. Jason and I actually had this
experience with Uber. He keeps getting Uber drivers that say
they are dead, yes, but when we get in the
car they're not dead.

Speaker 12 (22:19):
Then stop it stop it on multitude of stop. It's like,
do you have a study like in your app that
only asks for like hearing drivers.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
I was like, I don't think that's an option, because.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
I think they do that so that you don't so
you're aware of it, you know, any kind of disability,
so that you're trying to get their attention or something
and they 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 that on 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 deaf. Legally, I'm legal.

(22:53):
I'm truly one percent. My left ear does not work. Yeah,
I head menagitis 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 listening to this show, but I
don't like making small talk. I really don't. They all
it's a new strategy.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (23:11):
They were in an uber on the way back from
a nevent like this guy was his Chad yet And
on the way to the uber, I was like, Oh,
it just so you know, like it says this.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
So yeah, Jasus like Kiki, just so you know, the
guy is deaf. And he opened the door like hey.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Y'all, and I'm like, wait a minute, He's back to
he's can you guys keep it down?

Speaker 8 (23:29):
Man?

Speaker 1 (23:30):
I thought you were deaf, Like what's going on? It
says right here, like do I haven't.

Speaker 5 (23:38):
You know?

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't know? That's I mean, that is kind of
brilliant to be honest with.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
When I was someone texted in sixth three, oh, when
I was in beauty school to become an aesthetician. 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. So they're
talking to a sleeping person like a psycho.

Speaker 1 (24:02):

Well go in the city like I'm at a point
in my life.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Where I don't if there's any chance that leaving the
house is a dangerous activity, if there's any chance that
we might find ourselves banging on the door of a
twenty four hour dungeon, it's not open. If we're if
we're finding ourselves in a position where the public bathroom
is going to be a mandatory experience, then I probably
am not leaving the house.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
That's where I'm at in my life. I followed that role.
I'd never be here. So Fred's show is so have
you every time you left your home in your life?
Can did you have a mobile phone?

Speaker 14 (25:17):
No?

Speaker 6 (25:17):
But I definitely, like I missed the payphones, but I
think there was like times that the movies maybe where
like we would pick a time when it was over
and my mom would pick me up.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
But I don't think I ever used a payphone, but
sounds lit.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I think it was college before it was like here's
a mobile phone. The show is on. It's Stay or Go?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Hey, Amanda, good morning. Well, hi Amanda, welcome to the show.
Welcome to Stay or Go. We appreciate your note. What's
going on with this boyfriend of yours?

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Is his name?

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Well, when I'm gonna say his name, but he's been
around for six months? This boyfriend, Yes.

Speaker 15 (25:51):
Yeah, we've been dating for about six months. And you know,
as a disclaimer, he's not had a drinker like whatsoever.
But you know, he does like to go out over
the weekend on his days off, and he does usually
getting he gets really drunk.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Okay, So what okay?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
So the guy, this guy even dating, he he doesn't
drink like some what is like not during the week
he doesn't drink, but then when he goes out he
bings drinks.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
Is that the story?

Speaker 15 (26:25):
Yeah? I mean, well, the thing is is that he
just turns into a different person when he starts drinking,
and he's you know, he really is such a kind
and considerate boyfriend. But you know, on the weekends when
he drinks, he's just not as sweet and he starts
like picking fights with me and even like just people

(26:46):
around in the bar. It's just really weird. Like he
gets like overly protective, Like he like he thinks that
guys are flirting with me when they're.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Not when he's drinking.

Speaker 16 (27:03):
I mean, that's the thing, is, like I know.

Speaker 15 (27:04):
Him as this big softy, but you know there are
times like where he's even like left me at the
bar and he's gone home like without me, without telling me,
and it seems like he found a reason to be
like really mad. I don't know, but the whole thing
is that he doesn't even remember leaving me, you know,

(27:26):
Like I did talk to him about it. It's just
that he explained that he I don't know if this
is an excuse or not, but he said that he
probably did that because he knows his limits and he
was getting too drunk.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah, but that's you know, you would say that.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
I mean, you're his partner, so if that were the case,
and I realized when you're drinking, you're not necessarily in
your right mind. But that that's something you would say
to your partner. You wouldn't leave your partner somewhere. I mean,
that's something I'm the thing of that iras exit when
I met a little bit too much or whatever. When
it's time, I usually to sneak out, but I don't
have anybody with me. I don't leave anybody where we were.

Speaker 15 (28:02):
You can't do that, right, like, at least let me
know that you know, you need to go home or something,
because I know he would be so modified to that
to him, you know, But like I said, I mean,
he he it's not just about like checking out boxes
that he really is such a great boyfriend outside of
when he drinks. He's like it seems like he's perfect

(28:27):
for me other than that, and I don't know, it's
just it's not like I would say he's caught ride
of having a huge drinking problem because he only drinks
like once or twice a weekend.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, but if he's drinking and again not an alcohol
substance abuse counselor, but if he's drinking to that level
once or twice a week, that's still a problem. I mean,
the problem isn't necessarily And again, someone's welcome to call
and correct me on this. Eighty five five five one
three five. I don't think it's the frequency. Don't think
it's if you drink every day or if you just

(29:02):
get hammered twice a week. It sounds like he may
have a problem with alcohol. And I think the question is,
I mean, have you have you said to him? And again,
I don't know that I'm qualified to give this advice,
but I'm going to try. I mean, have you said,
have you have you had this conversation with him? Hey,
I'm concerned about your drinking. I'm concerned about your behavior
when you drink. I mean, have you have you had

(29:22):
like a like a kind sort of constructive conversation about that?

Speaker 16 (29:27):
I have I've had.

Speaker 15 (29:29):
I would say, yeah, like a few very light conversations
around it. And I think, you know, he gets a
little bit defensive, like I'm attacking him for all like
the good things that he does do for me, And
so I don't think he really like understands how it
affects me and like other people, because he doesn't remember,

(29:51):
you know. So Yeah, it's kind of like tricky.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, I hate to say this, But my gut tells
me you got to go. My gut tells me that
it's it's you're you're early in this relationship. It's going
to be a difficult thing. No, it's gonna be difficult
thing to mitigate. I don't know if it's your job
to save this guy. You know, he gets to I
mean you, I think you can tell him, you know,
in a caring, loving way. Hey, this this concerns me.

(30:20):
I care about you. I like you, you know, but
you don't seem to be acknowledging what is a serious
problem here. And someone texted that Ben shrinking is a
form of alcoholism. I mean, I think again, it's I
don't think you have to get hammered every day to
be to have a problem. I think you can get
If you're getting hammered consistently in any frequency, that's probably

(30:41):
an issue, especially if he's doing it to to sort
of mask other issues, insecurities or whatever.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
I mean, this could be something you deal with the
entire length of your relationship. This this may never go away.

Speaker 15 (30:58):
Yeah, that would really think. Viral like him so much
and I really care for him, So it's it's.

Speaker 14 (31:04):
Really hard to.

Speaker 15 (31:07):
And just like that, you know. But yeah, I totally
hear what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
I've dealt with this a little bit in my life,
and all I can tell you is that this is
a decision that the person using this substance, they have
to make that decision. Like you can beg him, you can,
you can, you know, ultimatums, you can do all this
different stuff, But ultimately, I think it's just going to
cause a divide. I feel like if you're saying to him, look,

(31:32):
I really care about you and you are a lot
of things that I want, but this he is a problem.
And in order for this relationship to continue, you're going
to need to manage this somehow. And he's telling you, oh,
I don't know, or he's using it making excuse you,
why do to remember? Okay, well, then don't drink as
much you might rememb you know what I mean. I
think the only real option here is for him to
stop drinking or manage the drinking, or get some help

(31:55):
or do something if he wants to save the relationship.
If he's not willing to do any of that, then
I don't know that this changes, right.

Speaker 15 (32:02):
I mean, what do you think is you know, he says,
you know, change doesn't happen overnight, like you know, you
have to just like trust me with it, like let me,
you know, take care of it, and then it kind
of like evolve. I think like evol then is in
my court to like let him deal with it and
try not to like micromanage the action right.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
When you bring it up.

Speaker 7 (32:30):
If he's getting defensive when you bring it up, it
doesn't even sound like he's really acknowledging that there's an issue.

Speaker 15 (32:37):
Yeah, I feel like I feel like he knowsday. I
think you can see like it feels vulnerable.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
Okay, but again, I mean this this is going to
affect your life too. And so if he's serious about
this relationship and it's it really is becoming a problem,
whether it's the way he acts, it's about the way
he treats you or leaving you places of it about
your safety. You know, again, I think you're in you
have You have every right to communicate your concern. You

(33:04):
have every right to wish of him that he changes
his behavior. You can offer him help, you can offer
him support. But I mean, if he's not going to
do any of that and deny it, I don't know,
he may not be as perfect as you think. And
I'm again I'm not I'm not advocating you just dump
the guy and leave him. But I mean, if you
express your care and you express your concern, ultimately he
has to make the decision. If he's telling you he
doesn't have a problem, that's I think that says a lot.

Speaker 15 (33:26):
Yep, yeah, no, you have a point there, especially with
like leaving me and stuff that's like becomes more of
a safety issue.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, I mean, the text is blowing up, it's overwhelmingly
You've got to go run a lot of people, you know,
sharing their personal experience. I mean, it's hundreds of texts already. Unfortunately,
this is something that I think affects a lot of people.
But let me take some phone calls. Maybe there's some
people more qualify, anyone's more qualified than me to be
giving you advice on this, because again, this is not

(33:56):
something to play with. You know, this is a this
could be a disease, This would be you know, a
dependency that he needs real help with. And I don't
I don't want to say anything that you know I
shouldn't say because I'm certainly not an expert. But let
me take some calls and and see people have to
say and keep the radio one and man, I wish
you the best. Thank you for sharing that with us.
Good luck, Damn eight five five five one one three five. Nick,

(34:18):
you're a you're a mental health therapist. I am, I am.

Speaker 5 (34:22):
How's everybody doing today?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Good morning? So you hear this story, well, what comes
to mind?

Speaker 8 (34:27):
What comes to mind is not immediately like leave.

Speaker 17 (34:31):
Obviously he is like struggling and what he's struggling with
is impacting their relationship and he clearly needs some form
of therapy to.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
Address these concerns.

Speaker 18 (34:43):
The thread, I agree with you, it's not necessarily about
the frequency.

Speaker 8 (34:47):
It's also about like how much.

Speaker 18 (34:49):
You're drinking in that two day period that he's getting
black out drunk.

Speaker 17 (34:54):
That could qualify as like a potential.

Speaker 18 (34:56):
Binge eatings or binge drinking disorder, and that definitely needs
to be addressed. So I think maybe putting the relationship
on like approbation and saying, hey, if within this six
month time period you don't seek help or make any changes,
and we don't communicate what you're doing to make these changes,
then I can't be.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
With you anymore.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
This has become unsafe.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, ma'am, good advice. Thank you, Nick, thanks for listening.
Have a good day anytime. You guys too, Love you, Yeah,
I love you too.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I mean, it's sad you don't want to leave someone
who care about, who you think has all these qualities.
You don't want to just leave them. But again, if
I know anything about this, and sadly it's in my
family and it's been part of my life. Unfortunately, it's
the kind of thing where the person having the issue
and I don't mean, I don't mean to isolate that person,
but that person, in my experience, has to make the

(35:46):
decision that they want that for their life and that
people that they matter and that the people around them
matter enough. But like again, you can threaten, you might
threaten your whole relationship. I'm going to leave you if well,
guess what. If you don't leaven, then your threats don't
mean anything anymore. Oh yeah, you know, ultimatums aren't going
to work. And if you're going to leave, then leave,

(36:08):
you know what I mean? And you can offer so
much support, but then if they don't want to take
the support, this could be an issue for a very
long time. Hey, Bianca. Yeah, Hi, Hi, good morning. So
this resonates with you, this story.

Speaker 16 (36:20):
Oh, yes, I've been in a seventeen year relationship. I
have a child or blended family. He's a great guy,
I mean, don't get mean, he's a family guy. But
seventeen years weekend drinker doesn't get better. Definitely needs some
kind of therapy there. You know, it's just it's a

(36:41):
hard situation. You're six months in. You know, you have
your whole life ahead of you. It's sometimes it's not
worth it.

Speaker 19 (36:49):
Now.

Speaker 16 (36:50):
It's gotten better through the years, but you don't want
to wait seventeen years right for it to get better,
you know what I mean. Like he's like he's really
calmed down through the years, but you know it was hearty,
nothing but heartache and heartbreak and coming and going into
the house, and then when you have children, it just
makes it even worse because it's just like you feel

(37:12):
stuck and I'm a product of a divorce, you know,
divorced parents, and you know, I've been through relationships and whatnot,
and it's just it's a heart you want to make
up by saying, oh, he's a teddy bear, he's this,
he's a family guy. He does great things, very successful,
very this, very that. But it's you know, you're willing

(37:34):
to spend the rest of your time with somebody who
just constantly drinks on the weekend. It's it's it's never
going to change, and they're never going to change. You know,
there's deeper issues there.

Speaker 8 (37:46):
There's deeper, deeper issues thereon you.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
What you're saying resonates with me a little bit. And
I think probably other people in the room who were
the product of a divorced family, because because I know
Caitlin is, I am, Paulina was. It's like, I think
if I were married and I had kids, I can
tell you that I would and I think in some
ways it maybe is preventive of me getting into a
serious relationship. I don't want to be to someone else

(38:10):
what my parents were to each other at that time.
I mean, like, I don't want to I don't want
I don't want to be in a situation where I
get divorced. I don't want to be in a situation
where I have kids and I'd break up the family
or the family is broken up by my actions are
someone else's, And so I think I would be inclined
to stick with things and behaviors and mannerisms that are unhealthy.
And I think this is a trap that a lot

(38:30):
of people fall into, where it's like, well, I don't
want to break up for the kids, I don't.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Want to divorcely, but it's like, hey, how long can
you live like that?

Speaker 2 (38:37):
You know?

Speaker 16 (38:38):
Yeah, it's very hard, you know. I see her in
my own head here and there. It's kind of like,
but I stuck around this long? Why am I to
leave now?

Speaker 19 (38:47):
You know?

Speaker 16 (38:47):
But I mean, like I said, through the years that
has gotten a lot better. But you know, you do
suffer through. I suffer through a lot of years and
between where I'm like, hey, you know, what the heck
am I doing? You know, like this is not right
and it's not and it's not fair if you're bringing
you know, other little people into the world and they
see that.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, yeah, you know, well they see that mom or
dad is unhappy. And I know you think you're doing
the right thing, but sadly, you know, this stuff does permeate.
And look, I thank you for sharing. Very brave of you, Bianca,
and I appreciate you calling and for offering your perspective.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Have a good morning.

Speaker 14 (39:21):
Thank you too.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Sadly this is I mean a lot of these calls
are the same. It's almost universally go yeah, yeah, Molly, Hi,
good morning.

Speaker 15 (39:30):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
How are you hey?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
You say good? Thanks for calling, for listening. So just
said recap and stair go here. This woman called and
she's been with the guy for six months. She thinks
he's perfect in every way excepted and these are my words,
but he binge drinks on the weekend, and he gets combative,
not with her, but with other people. He leaves her places,
doesn't communicate well when he's reached his limits, and you know,
she's wondering, is this something that I need to overlook

(39:53):
or that I can overlook? And and I mean overwhelmingly
people are saying no, right, she absolutely needs to go.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
So my reasoning is that since they've only been together
for six months, if the relationship does get any longer,
and let's.

Speaker 16 (40:08):
Say they have kids, or they get married.

Speaker 5 (40:11):
Or something happens at his job and then there's more
stressors or his life, he might start drinking more and
with the if he's already being mister macho man at
the bar, like, he's probably going to be physically abusive
towards her and she definitely does not need that in
her life.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Yeah, and I hate that she feels that he's perfect
in every way except for this. And I don't know
the guy, but that's a big this, you know what
I mean. He's perfect in every way except he's a
binge drinker and he and it seems like it's something
that he wants to deny and doesn't isn't going to
be able to adjust easily that that? Unfortunately, that means
you might deserve more. He might not be as perfect

(40:49):
as you think.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
Yeah, oh that's a big issue.

Speaker 7 (40:51):
And then if you bring children into the mix, A
lot of people are saying, you know, they stay for
the kids. The worst thing you can do is say
these situations for your kids. I agree, the kids are
trauma ties because they're scared dad on the weekend.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, I agree. I agree.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
It's a it's a serious and it's a sad situation.
But you know, six months, it might be it might
be more than enough to know that this is what
you're up against and it's sad.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Thank you, Mollie, thanks for calling. Have a good day.

Speaker 17 (41:16):
Thanks love you guys.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
I love you too.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
I only got time for one more Sophia, you're a
therapist as well.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Hi.

Speaker 20 (41:23):
Yes, I'm so glad that I got through because I'm
never a caller in for the radio, but I felt
like I needed to because I actually have I am
a therapist, but I also have firsthand experience within my
family of this happening where my brother in law became
somebody that was a drinker and unfortunately he took it

(41:45):
out on my sister and he became physically abusive and
it is a very sad situation. One night he drank
too much, he became abusive, and she almost died.

Speaker 19 (41:55):
Because of the situation.

Speaker 20 (41:58):
So this is just like my gut, like you need
to go, Like there is no waiting for them to
get help. You're you're so new in the relationship, You're
going to find another guy that texts every box and
there is.

Speaker 19 (42:10):
No this that you have to kind of roll out.

Speaker 20 (42:14):
But it's just it's the beginning signs of abuse. If
he's already doing it in public, just when he's gets home,
it's going to become even worse because there's no audience.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
He needs to go.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Yeah, yeah, Sophia, thank you, have a good day. Thank
you for calling.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Yeah, I hate to say them. And in my personal
experience too, I think sometimes people need to hit rock bottom.
They sometimes they need to either stand to lose or
lose everything absolutely before they can come to the Sadly,
some people that that's not enough either. But you know, again,
the threats aren't going to do anything unless you actually
follow through it. And the truth is if if he
feels for you what you feel for him, then maybe

(42:50):
he looks in the mirror and says, this is a
change I need to make if I want to be
with this person. And if he doesn't make that change,
I think that you then learned in six months what
you didn't need to take ten years to learn.

Speaker 4 (43:01):
Right, relutely, Yes, he has to want something more than
he wants to drink.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Yeah, honestly it sounds like it. And thanks for the
actual professionals for calling, because yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
I mean it was.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Unfortunately, we've all lived many of us in this room
have lived at yes, But at the same time I
don't claim to you know, know exactly. The Calon's Entertainment
report is on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 6 (43:22):
According to authorities, at least one hundred and four people
have died across six counties in Central Texas as a
result of those catastrophic floods, Kirk County was struck the
hardest on Friday, which is where that all Girls.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
Camp Camp Mystic is located.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
Remember flooding struck central Texas on July fourth, after torrential
downpour caused the Guadalupe River to surge around twenty six feet.
Camp Mystic sat along that river, and they announced Monday
that it was grieving the loss of twenty seven campers
and counselors, adding that ten campers and one councilor still
remain unaccounted for. If you would like to help by donating,

(43:58):
they could really really use it.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Things are dire there. Obviously. You can do so at
Community Foundation dot net. That's Community Foundation dot net.

Speaker 6 (44:08):
And they will allocate your money to local organizations that
are going to go directly to long term and short
term relief.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
So let's move on to some smut. Be what we're
known for.

Speaker 6 (44:19):
So Blake Lively will be deposed by Justin Baldoni's legal
team next Thursday in New York. I'm hearing or it is.
It's just going to be Blake and her own legal
team in the room. Husband Ryan Reynolds.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Is not going to be there.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
I don't know if that's because Justin's asking him not
to be and if that's allowed, or if he's just
not available, which I can't really see. This marks one
of the bigger moments in that ongoing legal drama between
the former co stars since his four hundred million countersuit was.

Speaker 4 (44:45):
Tossed last month.

Speaker 6 (44:46):
And we've all been dealing with hearing about this for
about seven months now, but it actually feels like two years.

Speaker 4 (44:51):
So maybe something will happen. I am hearing.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
Blake says, she's ready. Her story's never changed, so she's
ready to do this and I'm ready for it to
be over. And some of you liked when I did
a little Love Island recap yesterday, but I want to
tell you I stayed up past my bedtime last night.

Speaker 4 (45:07):
Don't bother.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
I mean, that was the worst episode of Love Island
I have ever seen. I think they're trying to distract
from the fact that Sierra was pulled and she was
kind of the main focus of the season, or her
couple was rather but last night they gave them all.
They woke them up in the middle of the night
with fake babies that were just crying constantly, and then
the couples had to raise the babies all day. There

(45:30):
was no drama, barely anything going on. I was like,
that should have gone to bed, but that's what happened.
That's your Love Island recap. If you're watching, don't waste
your time.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
Poor your old.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
Knees probably needs everything exactly exactly. My sister travels with
like it's like she's an NBA team. She comes wheeling
in like big boxes of equipment with.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
It's Kyleen.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
I mean it's we gotta have that. We gotta have
the right pillows, correct, we gotta have and I think
they have names for him.

Speaker 4 (45:57):
He brings pillows.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Yeah, that's like her special pillow. And then there of
course we have to have certain dolls and certain pajamas
we have. We do travel with the noise machine. Yeah,
oh yeah, No. Honestly, it's like if you've ever seen
a sports team come into town for a game, it's
my sister. The big uall truck pulls up in front
of the house before her the advanced team. It's like

(46:20):
that Calling Daddy interview with Kamala Ayas where they had
to make the set in the hotel room in laws Vegas.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
To make it look like the set. That's how we
do it.

Speaker 4 (46:27):
Oh, they did that.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
So Polly walks in and it looks like she's in
her own room. But yeah, Dallas, but really we're in Scottsdale. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
Yeah, No, it's sweet, but it's like it's like no.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
And then of course nobody can put the kid down
properly because nobody could possibly get all the steps right,
which is probably true because the kid has trained you.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Honey.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
My sister got so mad at me when I said,
she was really upset because I'm watching the kid tell
her what the four year old tell my sister what
to do, and then my sister does it. And I said,
you guys, this is Fordian sisters a therapist, so she
should get that. She does get that better than I do.
But I was like, this is freudium. She is raising you.
And my sister is like, and this is what she

(47:09):
said to me. You know, as a family that doesn't
have any other kids, you guys just don't understand. So
one of those things because I don't have a kid,
so I don't know, which is probably true. By the way,
I don't have a child, so I probably don't fully understand,
and I don't claim to, but what I can see
with my eyes is that my four year old niece
runs that bitch. And I mean my sister, I mean

(47:31):
you know, entity of the entity of the home.

Speaker 4 (47:33):
Yes, you were clarifying that I would tell yourself. Well, actually,
don't tell her anything ever again.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
But oh I love her, but she'll she'll kill us all.

Speaker 6 (47:41):
Gently remind her that like her daughter, probably will grow
up with sleeping issues if she has to do all those.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Things to put her down. Because my mom was like
that with me, and she wasn't with Bella.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
And one of us can sleep and the other can't,
Like you know what I mean, Like my sister doesn't
need a sound machine.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
We were talking loud, like she's a good sleeper. I
don't know.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
It worries me for pop because you know, when you
don't sleep with all that stuff, you can't sleep.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
That's fair.

Speaker 2 (48:03):
Well, and look, I'm not a parent, but I also
know that my sister's number one and Colin, her husband,
my brother in law her their number one priority is
to make whatever the issue at hand is stop. The
problem with that is that I don't know when the
issues will end. And the other thing is. She is
a master manipulator, this four year old. Matt love this
little girl, but like if if she's unhappy and mom's there,

(48:27):
then she needs dad really.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Oh yeah, she's a daddy's girl. She wants dad. Dad
has to do. I need dad.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
If dad's not there, like working, we got a brand
to the bar, a win for cigarettes, and hey, my
our dad's never came back, so.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
I can't tell her that story. Colin doesn't smoke, thank god.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
But sorry, let me talk about my dad.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
Anyway.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
This is anyway. I love my sister and I love
my nieces. But it is interesting to watch because I
get it.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
I get it. It's like you're tired. They're tired.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
The sooner that they get what they want, then the
sooner I can get what I want with just to
go to sleep. Close my eyes, because here's the thing.
The toddler goes to bed at you know, the baby
she has a one year old goes to bed at
like seven, and then the tidleer goes to bed I
think at like eight, eight thirty. But no matter what happens,
the toddler's getting up at like six, no matter what happened, right,
and then I don't know what time Polly gets up.

(49:23):
It like it's like they're constantly working against the clock,
Like the window is just narrower and narrower.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
So I get that part for sure, but she loves
it like will.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Occasionally I'll get her when we're all together because she
lives in Dallas, so we're all together someplace. Occasionally I'll
get her to go out, like to a bar, and
then she'll have a couple of drinks, will be sitting there.
It's like ten o'clock. I'll be like, hey, Amanda, Polly's
charging as we sit here. She's gaining strength. Every moment
you're not sleeping, Polly is gaining strength. And my sister

(49:55):
we both have anxiety. My sister's like, I don't like this,
have another drink of Mary. Just keep taking each minute
you sit here, and oh, this was the best. So
one night we went to a concert. What's the band
that my sister knows the drummer? This is an emo
band from the two thousand Summerset. So my sister knows
the drummer from a band called the Summerset. And we
went to a concert a couple of years ago, and

(50:17):
she didn't have the second baby yet, so Polly was
maybe like two, and so we're at the concert and
they don't go on till like ten o'clock at night. Now,
at this point, Polly's a two year old and she's
getting up at six no matter what.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
It's ten o'clock at night.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
This is the latest that these two have been out,
the three of us latest these two have been out
since they.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Had the baby.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
So we're at the concert ten o'clock. These guys go
on and the guy gets to at least singer Brian,
and he gets on the stage and he was like, this.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Is gonna be the longest show we've ever done.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
And all my sister wanted to do was get to
the end of the show she could see her friend
and then leave, and like, through throughout the night, he
just kept like, So now we're like ten forty five.
He's like, we're just getting started. And that was when
I was like, hey, Amanda, Polly's charging. She's like, damn it.
And then he's like, you know, eleven thirty. He's like,
we got ten songs to go, We're.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Gonna play the whole new album.

Speaker 4 (51:08):
We can go home.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
My sister's and the drummer can see us, so we
can't leave, and you know so it's yeah, in the
whole time, Like Amanda, she's getting stronger by the moment.
She hated me for that more Fred show. Next, he's
telling people for the next twenty years. I went to Juilliard,

(51:30):
only to be discovered and uncovered and revealed as a liar.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
What he's looking at Juilliard?

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Who's Julie Julie Julie Julie's yard. Fred's show is on
a woman.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
This is terrible.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
A nurse was battered by cheesy nachos. This is an
awful story. A nacho fueled domestic dispute is making waves
in Florida Port Saint Lucy. A nurse and Allison Swan
got into a heated three a m argument with her wife,
who's also a nurse, over late night snacking, and things
escalated when Swan allegedly grabbed a handful of cheesy nachos
and shoved them down the back of her wife's leggings.

Speaker 1 (52:07):
Oh cops, that I didn't stop there.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
Swan reportedly dragged her to the ground, fish hooked her
in the mouth, and slammed her head to the floor.
Now that is, in fact tragic now the nacho's in
the leggings tens the waste of nachos, and I need
to understand why someone heard the chaos called nine one.
One woman's been arrested on domestic battery. But imagine you
have to explain that in chord like what happen?

Speaker 1 (52:32):
Never been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Show. Carl,
good morning, welcome to the program. How are you uh
doing okay? Considering? Okay?

Speaker 2 (52:43):
All right, just okay, which is honest because you think
maybe you've been ghosted. So tell us about Mina, this woman,
and then you know about how you met, any dates
you've been on, kind of all the backstory fill us in.

Speaker 21 (52:54):
Yeah, like you said, her name is Mina. I met
her on a d app. We chatted for a little
bit on there, and then we decided to meet up
and we uh we went to this uh this rest
of this Italian.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Place, my favorite place, and it was it was a
great day. It was great. And then I never hear
from her, So I'm, you know, maybe it wasn't great.
I don't know.

Speaker 21 (53:20):
I feel like i'm I'm I'm missing something because every
time I try to respond or I try to you know,
reach out to her. I'm not getting anything back, right,
one hundred percent ghosting, So I don't you know, was
it something I did?

Speaker 1 (53:35):
I don't know. I'm really in the dark over here.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
Yeah, it's always kind of a risk when you meet
someone on the apps that the chemistry and person will
be what you hope it is. But hey, you're looking
back on this date, You're thinking, Hey, I thought it
went really well. Conversation was good. I thought there was
attraction in chemistry and all that, except this woman is
not responding to you now for another date, and you
kind of want to know what if I if I
thought everything went well, then what am I missing? Exactly

(53:58):
one hundred percent percent? All right, well, Carl, let's play
a song. Come back in a couple of minutes. We'll
call Mina. We'll ask these questions. You'll be on the phone.
You're welcome to jump in. At some point, I'm gonna
reach out to Mina. We're gonna go on another day.
This is going someplace. Except you did that and she
has not responded to you, and you want to know
why exactly exactly right, Yeah, all right, let's call Mina. Now,
good luck? Hi is this Mina?

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Hey, Mina.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling for the
Fred's Show, the Morning radio Show. The whole crew is here.
I have to tell you that we are on the
radio right now. I would need your permission to continue
with the call. Can we chat for just a second
on the air. You can hang up anytime? Ummm I
guess okay, I'll take that as a yes.

Speaker 5 (54:49):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
We're calling on behalf of a dude named Carl who
you met on a dating app recently apparently and went
on a date with Italian restaurant.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Is it ring a bell?

Speaker 16 (54:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Okay, so oh he called us and had nice things
to say about you and that he was excited about
you and thought the date went well. He says he's
reached out since then for another date and you're not responding.
He feels like he's being ghosted. So what you know,
what's kind of your side of the story?

Speaker 1 (55:13):
Is that true? Are you avoiding him?

Speaker 19 (55:15):
I mean, yeah, he seemed normal at first and he
I don't know, it was just a weird situation. Do
you want me to tell you what happened?

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Absolutely? We all we would like you to tell us
what happened.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
Okay, So.

Speaker 19 (55:33):
Yeah, he asked if you can order for the table,
and you know, I thought that that made sense because
he took me to his favorite spot and I'm not picky,
and he ordered like a lot, like a ton of food,
and I would say it was an abnormal amount of
food and yeah, that the dinner just got kind of

(55:57):
weird from there, and then I realized that he wasn't
really eating much, but he just kept insisting that I
should eat and try things. And then you know, after
some time, you know, we'd had some wine and everything.
I finally was just like, what is going on? What
is the deal? And then he was like, I just

(56:19):
want you to eat so much that you feel sick.

Speaker 1 (56:22):
And that was why why would he want that?

Speaker 10 (56:25):
What's the Yeah?

Speaker 8 (56:27):
And then he.

Speaker 19 (56:30):
Yeah, he said that he like wanted to hook up,
but that I like, he's feeling sick.

Speaker 18 (56:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 19 (56:39):
I think it was some sort of kink of his,
Like it was very weird.

Speaker 2 (56:44):
So he wanted you to like in gorge and eat
all the food and then he wanted to go mess around.
Like isn't that the exact opposite of how you get
most people to hook up with you? Like I don't
normally think eat everything. Let's go to let's go to
the you know, Brazilian teakehouse and the meat on the stick,
and then let's go home and get it.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
On blue cheese crest.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
No thank you, no, thank you, Ryan.

Speaker 2 (57:09):
So you think he was in because he's watching you
eat and then he wants to go home and do
some stuff and he thinks that's like something he's into.

Speaker 19 (57:15):
I think the to do this so much that I
felt sick, and then he wanted to hook up.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
I've imaginally mentioned that Carl is here, the masochist.

Speaker 8 (57:23):
Carl, what what?

Speaker 21 (57:25):
Okay, Look, it's it's not masochism, Okay, it's it's a
well known thing. It's called theism, all right, and yeah,
and yeah I'm into it.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
It's called I'm a feeder, all right.

Speaker 21 (57:39):
I feed my partners and they get, you know, till
they're full, and then we have an amazing sexual experience together.

Speaker 22 (57:47):
And you know, you know, you guys, you guys are
knocking it. Have you ever tried it? No, you're having
all right? I mean not on purpose, yes, but not
the first time.

Speaker 1 (57:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:59):
I know it's usually like you know, the comfort levels
too high. Yes, yes, it's way too high at that point.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Yeah, you know I'm getting I'm getting a lot of
judgment over here, and and and you know I don't.
I don't.

Speaker 21 (58:10):
I don't think I signed up for that when I
asked you guys, no little help.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Okay, okay, well let's relax for a second, Carl. And
no one's judging you. I think we're trying to figure out. Okay,
well is I'm not judging you. I'm trying to figure out,
you know, where's the turn on?

Speaker 1 (58:24):
Right? But for him that's his thing feederism. Did you
make that up? Or is that real?

Speaker 21 (58:29):
No, there's a small community of us.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
We we are small but vocal. You know, you guys
are laughing. I mean, I mean you look it up.
I think we're not a thing. Passion is amazing. The sex,
it's the best sex I've ever.

Speaker 21 (58:48):
Had when I'm with a partner who is you know,
filled to the guilt, absolutely stopping.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
If you, guys, if you got to come down your
ivory power and listen to me for a second with you,
maybe you know you could see things.

Speaker 4 (59:07):
Why don't you have to meat? Though? I don't get that.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Yeah, wouldn't this be like both of you eat?

Speaker 7 (59:12):
No?

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Are you going?

Speaker 1 (59:13):
Are you guys listening, I'm I'm the fever.

Speaker 22 (59:16):
I wish I would say, okay, okay, I give my
partner the food I provide, and then once.

Speaker 7 (59:24):
They're you know, so you feed, you feed her, and
then y'all go to bes and I'm like, garlic butter
and get it, pass it.

Speaker 4 (59:33):
And that's with that.

Speaker 21 (59:35):
Well, and it's amazing, It's absolutely amazing.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
I'm not mean, what did you want to say, please?
I mean, Kky's into this, I guess carling later, but uh,
what did you want to say? Mena because you were
trying to get in Well, I.

Speaker 19 (59:47):
Just okay, here's the thing is, that's what you're into whatever.
But you need to disclose that to somebody before you
ask them on a date and start making them do that.
You should talk about the curse, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:00:01):
I need you to calm him down, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:00:04):
He's exactly blessing about his craft.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
Hungry, that's what he meant. Angry.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
He doesn't get Carl, I'm gonna let what do you
get to say something else? What do you want to say?

Speaker 21 (01:00:18):
You know, it's it's I thought I had made some
references to that in our chats, you know, and.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Day you know, I'm not.

Speaker 21 (01:00:28):
I'm not a mind reader, all right. I don't have
a crystal ball over here. Okay, but I mean I
think you know, from what from what we talked about before,
I was I would hope that you would be, uh,
you know a little bit more open minded about it,
you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
And now here's the thing.

Speaker 21 (01:00:45):
Okay, we're talking about it now and that's that's step
one to in the process.

Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
On the radio, in the convergent process. Yeah, and you know,
to to.

Speaker 19 (01:00:57):
You weren't upfront about it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 19 (01:00:59):
There's the field app so you can go on there
and oh yeah, hey, everything that you're into and like we.

Speaker 1 (01:01:08):
Talked about feel that you have you have no idea
while is you? But no you yeah, trick. I mean
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
The number one way to get me to probably not
hook up with you, Like if you're on a day
with me and you don't want to mess around, like
just stuff food in my face, like you know, make
me eat more, because then I get home I feel disgusted.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Don't you feel tired too?

Speaker 3 (01:01:30):
Like the only thing I want to do is get
it on, Like I just want to lay like a
beach oil like vertically.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah, well, don't hey, be careful. Carl's getting turned on. Yeah,
all right, look, I mean I'll ask the question. I
think I know the answer. But would you be interested
in going out with Carl again?

Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
All right? Not interested?

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Hey, Carl, Look, no one's judging you, no one's king
shaming you do whatever you do. I just you got
to realize. I think it's not going to be for everybody.

Speaker 21 (01:01:57):
You know, are the most maligned I think in this country.
And I think one day it's you know, one day
that the table is gonna you know, be on the
other foot and it's gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:02:07):
Turn then be on the other foot, and you know,
you know what, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 21 (01:02:11):
I'm sorry, I get you know, I mean, it's just frustrating.

Speaker 1 (01:02:16):
I'm sorry that you're frustrated.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Carl on the streets, Carl, Yeah, do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Okay, it's the frend Show.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
Good morning, Thanks for having us on the radio, on
the iHeart app live and anytime search for the Freend
Show on demand.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Aren't of you watching Severance?

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
But like I feel like I should because everybody talks
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Could somebody tell me what Severance? Please?

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Eight five five five three five I feel like there's
usually somebody in the room who's watching, you know, one
of everything. Someone in here covers all of it. You know,
do we have any Minecraft people? I like it you
like Minecraft game or the or the like the movies
that kind of stuff. Because it was a movie. Of course,
it was I think the biggest movie in a long time.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
Yeah, there's wee records. But did you go No, they
sent me a nice pr box that was cool.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay, so you're a Minecraft girl. Mycraft
no idea.

Speaker 4 (01:03:00):
I'm going this week because you know, we.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Got the housewives people, we have the Dateline people, me,
you have the we have the sports people, Jason, Mom,
we have a team Mom, Piky.

Speaker 4 (01:03:11):
We have like fortune, but we haven't like.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
I really do you do?

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
Yeah, before we do, I have a story for you.
That's why I came to work today and that will
be in the second port. So you're gonna have to hang.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Around exciting week and we have a fortune.

Speaker 12 (01:03:25):
I know.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
That's I'm clucking.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Why I bring this up because I don't I'm not watching, okay,
And you know sometimes I just reject. I just say no, no,
moss is what I say sometimes when everyone's talking about something.
What do you mean you know how that goes? Are
you watching Severance? No?

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
You know the thing that people do when you're not
watching the show that everyone else is watching.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
And I just I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:03:46):
I haven't watched it, and now at this point I
might just not watch it out of principle. Just I'm
just not going to. But so I don't really know
what it's about. So I need someone who explained this
to me.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
But there's a big story.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
Today, over a third of real life employees would will
only undergo the procedure to sever their work memories from
their personal lives, like britt Lower did as Helly on
Apple TV Severance. Among eighteen to twenty five year olds,
the figure rose to almost fifty percent. Among workers age
fifty five and over, only one in five would want

(01:04:18):
to be severed. One expert says the fact that somebody
employees relate to the characters in Severance shows just how
blurred the lines between work and personal life have become.
The research is a stark reminder of the stress and
pressure people face today. No one should feel the need
to completely forget about their work lives just to cope,
rather than employees feeling the need to disconnect entirely from

(01:04:40):
work to protect their mental health. Leaders should build cultures
where people feel able to bring their whole selves to
work without feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. Okay, so I
guess I don't know if I need someone to explain
this to me, Like, okay, so that's what the show
is about. The show is about that you don't remember
work when you're at home. I guess that would be

(01:05:02):
nice for something, I guess.

Speaker 8 (01:05:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:05:04):
Okay, So Mark leads a team of office workers whose
memories have been surgically divided, like you said, between their
work and personal lives. So yeah, you don't you don't
have any memories of it when you're at the other
I don't know, that's yea.

Speaker 7 (01:05:17):
I feel like that would be good for everyone's mental health, correct,
you know, like you can really clock in and enjoy
your family without checking email worrying about like Sunday scaries.

Speaker 4 (01:05:27):
I don't know if you guys get that, but girl, yeah,
like Sunday.

Speaker 7 (01:05:30):
Scaries, you can really just enjoy without thinking about what's
what's facing.

Speaker 4 (01:05:36):
You on Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:05:36):
I love the people that think that that's what this
job is for. A lot of people like.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
Like, oh, Fred, you just you just go in there
and talk and then you go home and like take
a nap and whatever. It's like, yeah, this is well
not for Jason.

Speaker 4 (01:05:50):
Wake up in the middle of the night at least
three to four times agreement freaking out.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Oh you have four full time jobs, so there's that.
It would be amazing to not think about that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
But don't you think more about the other crap than
you do this, Like oh yeah, yeah, because it's like
you've got actual jobs once you leave here, Like you're
the moron who decided during COVID to come in here
and give yourself another job, and I'm so glad you did.
You were my favorite moron for that because you've made
this show so much better. But at the same time,
you also made yourself. So it was like, I remember

(01:06:18):
when you know, COVID started and you you were doing
promotions in marketing for a couple of radio stations, and
you had the forethought to say, you know what, I
don't think we're gonna be doing a lot of events,
and so you came in here and decided I'm gonna
start learning how to do morning show stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
And we were like great. And then when COVID was over.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
I remember the suits at the time were like, great,
so Jason's going back to work now, and I'm like, uhhh,
That's exactly how I responded professionally. I go, y'all better
figure it out, because my boy's not leaving. He's ours now,
you know. And then so here you are. But you
know what, they did figure it out. They just gave
you this and all the time they figured it out.

Speaker 13 (01:06:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean I just sit here in
the app so yeah, No, it's definitely this stuff after
this show that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:02):
You do more than that.

Speaker 9 (01:07:03):
But or.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Yeah, I'm not saying this is a hard people driving work.
I'm not speaking for myself. People driving to work right
now work a lot harder than I do. That's That's
not what I'm saying. But for those who think that
we just get to come in here and talk and
then there's like nothing that happens after that, that would
be silly. You would be silly for thinking it's silly.
But I don't know, I don't think you could do that.

(01:07:26):
You couldn't do this job and pretend like you you
couldn't do it. I don't think you could. I don't
think you could have a radio show and and you know,
have a personality radio show and then no personality well
and your life doesn't come into it.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
Yeah, we wouldn't be able to do this job that way. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
I read an article recently that was talking about like,
you know, when you're at work, you know, you should
never overshare, you should never tell your call workers about
your life, keep things separate. And I'm like, honey, with
this job, like I wouldn't have a job because like
I got it, I got to talk about right or
point of the other.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
On Severn, someone textedly this seven o eight on sevens.
You don't even recognize the people you work with outside
of work. It's a complete separation. Imagine you could go
to work hungover and feel bad but not know why
because you don't bring your personal life into work, and
then you don't bring work into your personal life, so
it's completely divided.

Speaker 4 (01:08:19):
Well, that'd be terrifying to feel crappy and not know why.

Speaker 1 (01:08:23):
Yeah, I don't know if this would work.

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
And we see each other like we like basically live
together right as well, So I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
Think it would work for us.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
Yeah, I mean cameln gosh, she hogs all the covers,
like every day I wake up.

Speaker 4 (01:08:35):
We are the grandparents in willy Wonka. We all share
a bed, We see each other more than I see
my family times. Absolutely really, and.

Speaker 2 (01:08:43):
She needs to keep it down at night, okay, because
because Uncle Fred needs some sleep in this frat house
that we live in together all day. The real world
Fred Show not true stories. And if you don't know
that record, you don't know. You don't know nothing. Hey, Lanah, Hi, Okay,
So thank you for trying to explain Severence to us.

(01:09:03):
So what is the premise of this show? And why
should I watch it?

Speaker 19 (01:09:07):
Okay?

Speaker 14 (01:09:07):
So Severance is basically like a corporate sci fi So,
like you've heard, like the premises that people undergo this
surgical procedure to divide their workplace memories from their personal lives.
But it's a procedure that only exists at this one
giant corporation essentially to.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
Keep their secrets.

Speaker 14 (01:09:30):
But part of what's scary about that is you don't
know what the corporation is doing, and also you create
this entirely different version of yourself with none of your
personal memories that only exists at work, so they know
nothing about anything else except what it's like to be
at that office and you don't know how the office

(01:09:51):
is treating you when you're like outside, Like they can
do anything to you, and they can just give you
a random explanation for what happened to you, but that's
usually in severance at least, not what actually happened to you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
Is this a good thing?

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Like it?

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
Do you watch this and go I would want this?

Speaker 2 (01:10:10):
No? I'm guessing that the premise or the idea is
that people and the reason that people in this survey
wanted is because they wish they could just leave work
and not have to think about it anymore. So I
guess that would be the upside, right, is that you
don't have to you know, like Kiki's been worried about
the show of this Kiky Showdown all weekend. Well, I
guess if she were on severance, then she'd walk out

(01:10:31):
of here and she wouldn't even know that she had
worked here, right, wouldn't worry about it?

Speaker 14 (01:10:35):
Yeah, that's true. I mean, well that's part of like
the they have like ethical debates. Like in the show,
there's people who are like, no, severance is bad, You're
treating like a slave version of yourself. And then there's
people who are like, actually, I would really want this,
Like a lot of the characters who like undergo the
procedure had like personal dramas that they were trying to forget,

(01:10:58):
like the main character's wife, and so he went underwent
the seferances each here because of he went to like
separate morning time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
I guess, but isn't life kind of managing all the
different things and trying to figure it out? I mean,
I guess I'm making this a little bit more existential
than it needs to be.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
But I get it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
I get the idea that people would like to leave
work at work and then go live their personal lives
and then come and then work starts again and then
they can leave, and you know what I mean. And
I think it's true a lot of businesses don't allow
that because now we all have email on our phones
and you know, the full internet everywhere we go on
like twenty years ago, where it was like, oh you
sent me an email, I don't know. I didn't have
dial up internet where I was, so I couldn't see it,

(01:11:41):
like you could really only do the work stuff. And
even though this place will say like, well, don't email
after five or whatever. Everybody emails after five, and there's
no way that I'm going to wait to email you
back until nine am the next day. And even though
they say that's what you're supposed to be allowed to do,
you're not allowed to do that. Everybody knows that. So
I don't know a lot of Hey, thank you, have
a great day, thanks for listening.

Speaker 14 (01:12:01):
Yeah, no problem, big fan.

Speaker 1 (01:12:02):
Yeah, oh, thank you so much. I don't I don't know,
big fan of you, Ulana. I don't know. I just
don't know. I don't know. I don't know this.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
This job wouldn't work because you got to be able
to bring that in here and whatever. But at the
same time, I guess if I had a job that
was a little it was it was different. You know,
Like if I had an accounting job or something, and
you're paying me forty hours a week or something, and
I do that and then I leave and then you're
you're texting me about accounting at eight o'clock at night,

(01:12:28):
that would be annoying because well, there's nothing. I'm not
going to account for anything until tomorrow. Like there's gonna
be no accounting happening now, Like we're gonna account tomorrow.
But then I think there are probably people listening now
going But I throw all of myself into the job.
That's why I'm good at it, you know, That's why
I excel. That's why I make more money than other people,
because I'm willing to not have that divide. I don't know,

(01:12:49):
because how do you how do you how do you
separate yourself from everybody else? If you just if you
just walk out us like you were never there. True,
now you're just like a cog anda wheel this and
you know what, Now I'm interested, and I may watch
the show Camwen's Entertainment Report, and he's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 6 (01:13:07):
Lana del Rey went from singing diet Pepsi in her
car to on stage at Wembley Stadium, inviting Addison ray
Back out to perform Alongsider, the pair also saying Lana's
new song fifty seven point five, that song she debuted
at stage Coach when you talked about Morgan walland afterwards
Addison tag Lana thanking Harry, writing I'll never forget this.
Thank you so much to the most beautiful divine woman, heart,

(01:13:29):
soul mind, Lana.

Speaker 4 (01:13:31):
I'm the happiest and luckiest girl on Earth. She said,
you are forever.

Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
Addison was one of a trio of opening acts for
Lana and now that that overseas tour is over, we
are waiting for her tenth studio album, which has changed
date and names so many times, but I hope.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
We get it soon. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom were.

Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
Spotted together for the first time since splitting up the exes.
We're on a big old sailing boat along Italy's a
Malfe Coast as they planned or played rather with their
four year ol daughter Daisy and mingled with Jeff Bezos
and his new Wifeye remember Katie missed the big wedding
in Ventice she was touring in Australia, and they broke
their silence via their reps on Wednesday, just saying that

(01:14:10):
they've slowly shifted from romance to co parenting and they
planned to be seen together as a family, which is
what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (01:14:18):
And lastly, real quick, this is why I'm superstitious.

Speaker 6 (01:14:20):
Just months after Denise Richards said that she's never going
to get divorced again, the actress and former Real Housewife
is getting divorced. Her husband filed after six years of marriage. Remember,
she was accused of having an affair with that fellow
housewife Brandy Glanville during the time of her marriage.

Speaker 4 (01:14:37):
Always denied it. But the divorce comes a few months after.

Speaker 6 (01:14:40):
Like I said on the March premiere of her Bravo show,
she said she's never getting divorced again. Aaron responded, they
could just live in different homes instead of getting divorced.

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
But apparently he changed his mind.

Speaker 6 (01:14:50):
He's seeking spousal support and the return of his power tools,
by the way, which made me giggle. If you miss
any part of our show, just type the Fred Show
on demand. And so this is a preset on the
free I heard.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
Radiato more Fread Show.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Next, the Fread Show is on Fred's Fun Fact.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
So Much, Learn so much.

Speaker 2 (01:15:21):
Guys, did you know there's a song by Randy Newman
that was almost banned. It was almost banned, It wasn't
actually in the state of Maryland. It's called short People.
This is from I Believe nineteen seventy seven. Let me
play you this song for a second. You got to
understand the actual meaning here.

Speaker 1 (01:15:39):
But here it is.

Speaker 2 (01:15:40):
This is a Randy Newman's song called short People. Reason
no Reason, got no reason to live the disrespect Brandy.

(01:16:01):
Here is the song, I mean the short King's out
there now. It's important to realize that this song is
meant to be a satirical take on short sighted people
and intolerance and prejudice. But the state of Maryland didn't
take coldly to the tune. In nineteen seventy eight, a
delegate tried to introduce legislation to make it illegal to
play this song on the radio, proposing a five hundred
dollars fine. However, his effort was unsuccessful. The Assistant Attorney

(01:16:25):
General deemed that the move would be a violation of
the First Amendment. So he's not talking about actual short people.
He's talking about short sighted people who were, you know,
not open minded to different kinds of things.

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
So there, that's not what he say it right, Oh
you s you're taking him literally.

Speaker 4 (01:16:41):
Yes, he said short people. I didn't hear nothing about
a side.

Speaker 1 (01:16:44):
Well, we didn't hear the whole song.

Speaker 2 (01:16:46):
Oh well you look at you go band the song anyway,
I hope I do not have to pay five hundred
bucks now so

Speaker 1 (01:16:53):
