Speaker 2 (01:09):
No, she did. That's what I mean when I say

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I know Blockbuster? Fred I don't think you would you
know what this is? Have you been to one? Yeah? When? Well,
when's the last time you?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Okay, so you know what this is? Because Blena was
very worried that you didn't know what my shirt said,
I just did.

Speaker 7 (02:34):
Yeah, Sol, No, I know what that is. I just
I told Katy the other day. I didn't know the
difference between Jared what was that?

Speaker 5 (02:40):
What was that guy's name? Jared Leto? And Jared Leto
and j and j Leto?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
And yes, I was really you didn't know the difference
between Jared Leto and Jay Leno? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:54):
I was so confused.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Me neither girl?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I mean, okay, good, so just me wildly different people though.

Speaker 7 (03:01):
Yeah, I also don't know the difference between Christina Aguilera and.

Speaker 5 (03:04):
What and uh, oh god, what's that girl's name? Gwen
stefani O come next to each other?

Speaker 8 (03:08):
I don't know which ones which girl? Now you lost
me the Jared j Lin will think. Okay, I can
see that because the name of how similar?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
How wait?

Speaker 2 (03:15):
How could you see that differenween Jared Letto and Jo.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
If you put them together side by side.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
Yes, but if like Kaylen, did an entertainment report and
brought it up, I might confuse at you?

Speaker 9 (03:26):
How right?

Speaker 5 (03:28):
The names are just too similar? Yeah, but now Gwen
Stefani and Christina Aguilar are Jared.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
And j are not the same name at all?

Speaker 5 (03:35):
JA and j No, I guess it anyways, So probably.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Didn't think that you knew what this shirt meant, and
I just I was curious. I was hoping, I mean,
at twenty seven that you knew when Blackbuster was. But
there's probably some someone listening now, maybe some young kid
who has no idea.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
No, we all know what we've been informed.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Have you ever been to one? You have? So you've
rented I assume a DVD?

Speaker 5 (03:59):
Well, I know ever did, but because I'm too little.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
But my mom, Oh, I see, so you accompanied somebody
inside a Blockbuster.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
It's like a library.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
It sort of was like a library, right it what
it's getting? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (04:11):
Yeah, you can check them out. That's that's kind of good.

Speaker 10 (04:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
Yeah, you think a v VHS tape. Yeah, I had
a lot.

Speaker 11 (04:19):
Okay, yeah, because my sister, oh, her sister's millennial.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
Yeah, I'd like to speak with her three thirty two.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Okay, So, and I always get these wrong, but I'm
I'm gen X slash millennial, but more I mean, like
on the cost of I guess most of you are
millennials and your gen Z.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Okay, I'm ninety eight, so this is the list.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
I'm twenty one. I know Blockbuster. Someone texted, well, that's good.
I'm twenty three. I used to go to a Blockbuster. Okay, good,
thank god?

Speaker 5 (04:47):
Okay, felt we feel performed?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Well, I do it. Paulina was worried about it, whether.

Speaker 8 (04:51):
That you knew, because one is like the Netflix era
start right, like what age group?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I would think it would be hers probably. I think
the DVD he's in the mail were like late May
to late two thousands.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Right, I think.

Speaker 10 (05:03):
So?

Speaker 7 (05:04):
Yeah, I remember when Netflix only did DVDs and you
would get a mail to your house.

Speaker 10 (05:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, there are times, yeah, a couple of times, but
that was your version of Blockbuster. And I was talking
to someone the other day. Fifty million bucks I believe
was the number that Netflix offered to sell to Blockbuster
for five zero fifty million dollars. And now they're worth
like fifty billion. Wow, let me see it again. I
looked it up the other day. No, excuse me, five

(05:31):
hundred and sixteen billion dollars. So Blockbuster could have bought
Netflix for five zero fifty million, and instead they said, ah, no,
why would we do that. Well, Blockbuster, we'll need you.
Now Blockbuster's gone and they're worth five hundred and sixteen
billion dollars.

Speaker 5 (05:49):
There one Blockbuster left in band Oregon.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, h yeah. There was a whole documentary about him.
How they like, I don't know how they do it.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
I don't know where they're getting all the DVDs from. I
don't know someone's basement. Yeah, I don't know how it's
all working.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
But don't sell DVDs, you guys like Target, Well okay.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
But how do you play it? I mean, like, I
just actually donated a bunch of DVDs because everyone that's true.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
I don't know, you don't sure.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
I always on my he's a huge gamer, but he's
more of a switch to guy, now you know more
of a switch to not switch one or no, certainly
not certainly not you. Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry I
haven't sent you three already because you know you're on
the cutting edges as a gaming influencer. Gay right, well yeah,
the gay Yeah, the game.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
The game bar for sure, you get that lock that
down right.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I know he's on.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
The podcast You're Gaming Game with Jason stream. Okay, so
on this eight five five five one three five and
you can call him text the same number. But bell
stay here because so these are the things, well you
you are your gen x why why why? I don't know,

(07:07):
I don't know, I don't know what all those things are.
And then you guys just keep saying letters and now
I'm really confused. See, Okay, So these are things that
basically that our parents would have most of our parents
would have allowed us to do. And I just want
to get your reaction to like how this would have
gone in your house. Then again, your parents are a
little while your parents are a little I mean, I've
talked to your moms. She's a little while Apparently your

(07:27):
dad's trite and believes that he needs airtime now too,
to speak, about his mayoral duties, which is not happening
because I can't. I can't provide equal time to your
whole family, Nor can I provide equal time to the
entire you know political uh uh, you know the landscape
of California. There are actual election laws against this. His
competitor would have to get equal airtime.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
I don't know, he's not it doesn't have a competitor.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Well, he wouldn't. Yeah, so he ran out of post.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
So he did. He's game to him is opinion? And
why is he writing about it?

Speaker 5 (07:57):
He's just jealous that my mom is on air. He's
as jealous.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I'm sure your dad's a lovely man. But if he
ran unopposed, I mean that's like he volunteered basically those
campaign dollars, right, if no one ran against him, he
didn't really win or lose. He just sort of is okay. Anyway,
here's my question. I want to know from the people
at home and the people in the room, and then you,
as the youngest member, how this would have gone on

(08:22):
in your house? For example, Okay, were you allowed to
just well you kind of grew up in it. Did
you always grow up in kind of a smaller town.
Yeah from maybe maybe this doesn't apply as much to you.
But were you allowed to just roam the neighborhood?

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (08:35):
It depends, my depends how old I was, if I
was in trouble, like you know, like grounded, When you
were old enough and not in trouble, could you roam Yeah,
for the most part, but like my mom would want
to know where.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, I'm not talking about the times where you were
grounded or sleeping fellow. I mean like, were you allowed
I'm wondering if you were allowed on a time when
you were conscious, ungrounded, not in jail, right when the
weather was nice, you know, when they were on most
parts and people weren't protesting.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
Were you able to within the neighborhood? Yeah, okay, you
could in my neighborhood at.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
A different reality, like that wasn't having you guys are
having a conversation. I'm having a conversation. She's having a conversation.
But it's not the same conversation, okay, because because like
as kids, like when I was young, it was and
it was just you know, ride your bike, go, just go,
and there was no way really for us to get

(09:33):
you know, there were no cell phones. Maybe a pager,
but I didn't have one really, I mean, there was
really no way to know where we were, what we
were doing. I mean they were payphones, but we didn't
really use those. And it was like, hey, go at
you know, nine am or whatever, and just come back
before it gets dark, which in Arizona in the summer
is like ten o'clock at night. And I'm not saying
my parents didn't care, but they did. There was nothing

(09:53):
was happening.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
See.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
That was that's where we differ. I had to have
a cell phone, so I wasn't allowed to roam. You
weren't really roaming, So I wasn't really roaming. I mean
like it felt like I was, but not really.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, were you allowed to go to someone's house whose
parents your parents didn't know? Yes, Okay, so you could
do that, yes, because I guess that's the thing, and
that's that didn't happen. I mean, my wife went to
all kinds of people's houses and parties and stuff, and
my parents didn't ask where I was or or who
the people. They didn't interview the parents ahead of time.

(10:24):
They didn't call over there and see what was going on.
They weren't they weren't logged into the live stream you know,
on YouTube or whatever to see. Okay, so you were
allowed to go to people's home, so your parents didn't know.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
My parents were like, thank god, okay, were.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
You allowed or Slasher? When you're given the opportunity to
go hang out in the mall all day? Was that
even a thing you could do? Yes, I hung at
the moll because that was something when we were like
before we could drive. That was what like three or
four dudes in the weekend we get dropped off of
the mall and then three or four girls had dropped
off of the mall and it was essentially a date,
but it wasn't a date, and we would all we

(11:00):
didn't have any money, so we maybe eat, maybe we
had money to eat, you know, but like, yeah, we
would just walk around in circles in the mall and uh,
you know it was like a little forty walk I
dabbled kind of thing. Okay, So you were able to
do well here there are people going up right now
who don't even probably know there are towns where them there.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Isn't a mall, right or there's.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Nothing there to do, So like you wouldn't walk around
the mall okay, were And by the way, this is
a list that was made by a website. It's eleven
things that parents of gen X kids did that would
be considered a neglect today.

Speaker 5 (11:34):
My parents neglected me.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I guess. So were you expected to cook your own food?
Apparently now you don't have to cook your own food?

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Did something?

Speaker 7 (11:43):
I always cooked with my parents because my parents are chefs,
so I like they wanted me to learn how to cook.

Speaker 5 (11:49):
That was a big thing.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
But like, if you wanted to make something and you
were eight years old or ten and they weren't there,
maybe that wasn't even a thing either. But I mean,
were you allowed to, you know, tear on the stove
and cook a naggers? I'm thinking if you wanted to,
I would.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
The thing is I was.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
Really lucky because I grew up with the house with
a lot of food, so I never really had that.
You never had to cook, Okay, well like I did,
but like not like I never cooked eggs by myself
or anything.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Plus I'm the youngest, so my sister was always home.
I was never really alone.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
You had people serving on you, serving you. Okay, are
your nieces and nephews who are much younger. Are they
allowed to do any of that stuff? Like can they
go roam in the neighborhood and they can.

Speaker 3 (12:24):
Go to the park, But there's cell phones with locations
on them, so that doesn't really count. They're not allowed
to cook. Everybody gets door dashed or uber eats.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Now what, Okay, So that's okay. So don't turn the
stovea on that because you might burn the house down
or whatever.

Speaker 5 (12:38):
I know, I was crying up pork chops at teams.
You know, you're making spaghetti.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Oh yeah, noodles, rice and you had to make rice,
and you had to make eggs. Oh oh yeah, cheese
and you had to make mac and cheese. Oh yeah, No,
there was no it was an order of peacha every
time you're hungry. No, no, interesting. I didn't touch a
stove till I was definitely in my twenties. Talked about
this yesterday, making babies cry it out. I guess that's
not a thing that people do anymore. It's just let

(13:05):
the baby cry out, because you know, Pauline was talking
about how little baby Gigi, you know, gets mad and
stuff and like hits and whatever at one year old,
which is you know, and tells her mom to f
off and you know, leave and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
And one, it's a lot of angst in that kid already.
But you know, the thing was you just let them
have the outburst and just let them do it. But
I do think that, like in this day and age,
either people would be annoyed or they would actually think
you were not doing your job if your kid freaks
out in the store and you just let them freak
out and walk around like that, right, yeah, I mean
that's what you're supposed to do, I thought as a parent,

(13:36):
But I don't know that people wouldn't call cps on you.
Now if you were walking around the you know, the
jewel or the Walgreens or whatever, and your kid was
just screaming because you just weren't going to deal with
the fact that you weren't going to buy him the
popsicles or the.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Toy or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
How did the cops show up for that? Like abuse
now or something. Letting kids figure things out themselves. Ignoring
school bullies now, this is a more controversial topic because
bullying has gotten far more sophisticated now. I mean, it's
the same spirit of idiots saying mean things to other
people because they're projecting that they're actually the loser, right,

(14:09):
which is the thing that your parents always tell you
when you're growing up, Like when the kid's making fun
of you and saying mean things about you, it's like, well,
this person actually is very insecure about themselves and they
make that. You know, it's a terrible quality that someone
people to make themselves feel better by putting you down.
So and you're going to grow up to be really
successful and great, so don't worry about them, you know.
That's the advice I got about bullies. But my parents

(14:31):
weren't calling to school saying don't bully my kid. My
parents weren't calling the parents, But my parents were like,
this is part of life, and people are always going
to be a holes. And that's true to this day,
and I'm forty four years old, and there are still
people who get off on other people's failures and meaning.
So like, if you're not equipped for that, then I
don't know how well you're going to do in the
real world.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
But I I will.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
Admit, you know, it's gotten far more dramatic, far more drastic,
the accessibility with technology and social media and the ways
that people are bullying are far vaster than they were.
But as it pertains to just kids being mean to kids,
I don't know how much there that there is anymore.
How did your parents deal with you being bullied?

Speaker 7 (15:11):
Well, my dad's Italian, so all them there's a big
hole in your backyard.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
So he said, put me on the ratios.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Outside.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
I put your mother on the air. I let her
speak freely. She doesn't even know my name.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
I know, Jeff.

Speaker 7 (15:34):
No my dad my mom would give very opposite advice.
My dad's like, let me know who they are. I
want to talk to them. I was like, he's like
very confrontational, and my mom's just like who cares, just
like blow it off their losers. And so I would
never really listen to my dad in that sense. I mean,
like a couple of times I did, and I probably

(15:56):
shouldn't have, but I tried to stick with what my
mom said because it felt a little more rash.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
When you egged the car. Oh, yeah, that is true.
Maybe I am like my dad. I did. I Okay,
it sounds.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Like your dad would actually kill people with his bare hands,
and you egged the car, so you're not like.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
You're going to know a car I threw poop at
people's cars.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Here's poop.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh. I thought I thought you were going to say
your poop.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
I was worried.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
In this segment is you're not the person to talk
to you?

Speaker 5 (16:25):
Are you a bully?

Speaker 9 (16:26):
No?

Speaker 7 (16:27):
Somebody egged my house and I didn't even know who
they were, and so I retaliated with dog poops.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
That's what it's giving.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Okay, So your parents basically raised you like you were
one of us. So this is not You're not the
person to talk to So sorry, Like the bullying thing,
I know, I'd look like and someone's gonna text up
here and go, oh, the you know, terrible example of this?
Then yes, of course there are extreme examples, and there
are ways that people are bullying now that they couldn't
bully a STEM. But I do say that there's something

(16:53):
too kids being mean to kids, and you've got to
teach your kids how to manage that because it's not
going to go away in adulthood. And so like if
you take your kid out of school, or if you
I don't know a lot of different things that I've
heard of people do, or homeschool your kid simply because
you don't want to expose them to certain things that
are mean. I understand that that sort of desire, but

(17:15):
like what happens then when it's time for your kid
to go out and get a job and be in
the real world and someone's mean to them and they
don't know what you how to cope with that or
what to do because it's going to happen because people
are mean.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Oh. Yes, my dad taught me how to punch mine.
Is that bad?

Speaker 2 (17:30):
No, But the rule in our house was don't hit
unless you're a man.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Hit.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
If you get hit, then you can hit. That was
my thing. Yes, and that's different for what I got.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
His first on the butt with a stick. Yeah, when
we were in kindergarten.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
And so my dad taught me how to throw a
punchy throw a punch, And so the next day he said,
there he is, and I punched him.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I mean, if if boys, I guess, if a man
hits a woman, then you go it. You can do
what you gotta do.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
A man hits a woman. He was a little boy.

Speaker 8 (17:55):
He's really fine, that's what I well, that's what I
just said, though, I just said, you hit a welt
on my butt.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
So she was little and it was just she was
a child. But like if if a man hits a woman,
then you know a woman and he can tell you
in whatever way she pleases, except you know, poop. You
know there's one went there too, Hey Jose, Jose. Okay,
why did we call Jose?

Speaker 9 (18:17):
So?

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Like, why do we call the radio station and then
we don't say anything?

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Maybe put him on hold and then pick him back
up one.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
More time, Jose, because I hear that there's like a
phone on. Okay, Well that was fun, thanks, Jose.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
That was I mean, what insightful? What insightful feedback there?
And honestly, the middle, the middle part of that call
touched me the most. I think when he really like
got into his childhood and.

Speaker 11 (18:43):
Talked about it was like when he was talking, time
had no meaning.

Speaker 5 (18:47):
He could have gone on forever.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
It was for me, it was poetic, Like the guy
is a true orator. Like a lot of people say that,
like like uh, Barack Obama can speaking Martin Luther King,
But when Jose talks to me, it's like I'm the only.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Person in the room.

Speaker 5 (19:02):
I'm a different person.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
You like, Kiki A true speaker. Yeah, he was great,
a true orator.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
You know what I mean. Yeah, I was.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
I was totally just locked in on everything he had
to say. I feel like Jose, Like Jose, No, your
mic is very much on and you can speak what
an incredible speech. Okay, Well anyway, and I was just
I was wondering if any of this related to you,
because because you do represent that generation, but I think

(19:29):
your parents made it such that none of.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Them represent Sorry, no, it's okay, It's okay.

Speaker 2 (19:35):
You can go now and probably they can come back
have a nice day, because that's where we're at now,
is with this if we have to switch people physically
switch human beings so that can's entertainer report is on
the Fresh Show.

Speaker 11 (19:48):
Fifth Harmony reunited on stage for the first time in
seven years during the Jonas Brothers Jonas twenty tour stop
in Dallas. The group performed their twenty fifteen Absolute Banger
Worth It in matching black outfits. Earlier that day, Keaith
Harmony's official X account posted for the first time since
I think twenty eighteen, of course, started some rumors of

(20:08):
a reunion. The group's hiatus started in twenty eighteen after
Camila Cabello decided to leave two years earlier do some
solo stuff, and I think each member has also done
some solo stuff as well. But Camilla of course didn't
attend this time. I feel like we don't ever really
see her doing that, but she did post for red
heart emojis to give some support. And I love all

(20:29):
the guests that they've been bringing out during this Jonas
twenty tour. Post Alone debuted his fashion label Austin Post
yesterday with a runway show in Paris. The collection, titled
at First Light, draws inspo from Dallas, Western and Southwest
ranch aesthetics, which I'm listening this is the vibe, reflecting

(20:49):
his Texas roots and long time living in Utah. The
show featured models in star and Bellis genes. It's pretty
much what you would think swede and velvet jackets, and
ended with a model on a horse, because why wouldn't it.
Post close the show in a lightwashed gentim outfit in
cowboy hat, which I feel like is pretty much his uniform.
And Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Coleman's new movie The Roses

(21:12):
is getting absolutely roasted for a scene having to do
with an allergic reaction. In fact, so the Natasha Allergy
Research Foundation called it triggering and dangerous.

Speaker 5 (21:23):
I guess.

Speaker 11 (21:23):
In the movie, the actors play feuding xes and at
one point he intentionally feeds his wife food that she's
allergic to, and then he hides her EpiPen that she
until she signs their divorce papers, so he's like obviously
pushing her into it. The foundation said the storyline is
not remotely funny. They say that life threatening food allergies
affect so many people. These portrayals are not only triggering,

(21:46):
they are dangerous. Excuse me, using food allergies and the
threat of anaphylaxis.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
For did I say that right?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (21:53):
I think so.

Speaker 11 (21:54):
For cheap laughs is careless, offensive, and completely unacceptable.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
So I'm just gonna leave.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
It's the Frend Show.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Good morning, Thank you so much, Awaken, order to one judge,
A taco is a sandwich.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Oh not this much. A taco is a sandwich?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Eight three five, you can call it text the same number.
I mean, let's have it out. Let's you know, this
is a forum for the most important conversations to be
had in society. That's what you can you can count
on us for that. And this is that is a
taco a sandwich because a judge says that it is
a restaurant. Tour said that he has been battling over

(22:31):
what type of establishment was being built and going into
a now eleven thousand square foot strip mall restaurant space. Previously,
the commission that I guess oversees what can go where,
zoning or whatever denied a famous taco from being located
in the Strip Mall, partially based on a written commitment
that he accepted with a nearby neighborhood association limiting any

(22:51):
restaurant that did not offer alcohols in not allowed to receding,
and only sold made to order or subway style sandwiches.
The idea behind the agreement, according to court documents, was
to keep national fast food, burger and chicken chains out
of the Strip Mall. They didn't want him there, So
the court agrees with this guy. The tacos and burritos
are Mexican style sandwiches, and the original written commitment does

(23:16):
not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine style sandwiches.

Speaker 11 (23:22):
Fam that's a torta, But a torte is a sandwich,
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
That's a Mexican sandwich, not a taco.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, but this guy really wanted to be in the
Strip mall. And I guess you could have sandwiches in
the Strip mall, but you couldn't have tacos. And so
this guy, Nope, he came to the rescue and and
he sued, well, he had to.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
Do what he had to do to get his little
business going. He has three towels for the business.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Okay, Bob, whatever is a taco? I mean, are we
calling it? I think it's a stretch. But a tortilla,
a hardened tortilla, is still a form of bread.

Speaker 9 (23:53):
Is it not.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
The bread needs to be separated from me. For it
to be a sandwich, there has to.

Speaker 11 (23:57):
Be two pieces as opposed to the one, because like
something folding.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, that's my Like they're still connected, right because.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
They didn't cut it.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
It's basically just that's like a HOGI is not necessarily
Maybe I thought they they don't always the bread down
the middle. Yeah, some sandwiches they don't cut all the
way through like someone used to do a well cut.
If you remember that, they used to cut the bread
out in the middle. They used to cut from the
top and then stick this stuff in there.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yeah, yeah, that's a taco.

Speaker 8 (24:32):
People say that cheeseburgers or whatever can be a sandwich
because there's two pieces of Breadger is.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
A sandwich, But burger, by definition, is a sandwich.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
Okay, go to a restaurant and order a burger sandwich.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
And see what the waitress does the sandwich. But just
because you wouldn't say it that way doesn't mean by
definition it's not that. But the meaning of a sandwich
is two or more slices of bread or a split roll,
rely in between. So how is a How is a

(25:05):
curved dried tortilla not the same as a split role?

Speaker 1 (25:10):
It is a tortilla? Is the split roll?

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Hold on Laura's Laura's chef. Laura calls us a lot
of times. Texas called it. Laura, you're a chef, So
what what say you? He is a taco a sandwich?
Laura calls all the time what it is? You're saying
it is? Yes, Yes, a.

Speaker 12 (25:28):
Sandwich is a vehicle with things inside of it.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
A cornshell, right, So it's a cornshell, which is a
which was originally pliable, which is a vehicle, which is
a vehicle, which is a vehicle that Sharon can drive
his song through. Yeah, okay, all right, so Laura says
that that she agrees with this cord case. All right,
thank you, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Thank you too.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Now let's be honest. You said it, Paulina, like, this
guy just wants to be in that strip mall. So
he was making whatever legal argument he could, but a
judge agrees with So whether he agrees with it or not,
we don't know. He just wanted to make sure that
the ordinance didn't apply to him, so he got a
judge you agree with him. But see, here we go, Carrie.
You're gonna do this. Now, we're gonna take it one
step further, aren't we?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Carry? Go ahead? Yes.

Speaker 13 (26:15):
We had a big debate at my work one day
about whether or not a hot.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Dog is a sandwich by by definition it is by
definition of hot dog is a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
It is.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
I'm sorry, guys, yeah, it is a sweat role. Now
do you call it a sandwich? No, you call it
a hot dog, You call it hamburger sandwich? No, you
call it a hamburger. But by definition they are both sandwiches.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
Crazy, that's true.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Carry, you're right, thank you. What do you think do
you think it is.

Speaker 8 (26:41):
I'm kind of.

Speaker 13 (26:42):
Like we're Yes, by definition it is, but I don't
think it's a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
Bye.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
By vernacular, nobody calls it that. But by definition yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Thank you, Carrie, have.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
A good day.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (26:55):
Just like.

Speaker 8 (26:58):
Just like Caitlin wants you to go order a say,
a sandwich, roll whatever, a hamburger, sandwichichurger sandwich, you and
I are going to go to your favorite spot at
at Oh my god, I love that place.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
Pick me up. You're in your Handai, and then we're
gonna do it.

Speaker 8 (27:11):
We're gonna drive over Nikiya, and I want you to
sit down. I want you to say I would like
a sandwich.

Speaker 5 (27:20):
Just say sandwich.

Speaker 8 (27:22):
I want to I want to see what they bring you,
and it's not going to be a taco.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
So therefore the argument that's not hold up in court.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yeah okay, but see that's different because we're talking about
is it a sandwich not is it? Is that what
people call it or is that what you would normally associate. No,
I would not normally say I want a sandwich, less
who get a taco? I wouldn't normally say that, but
for legal purposes, like the definition an item of food
consisting of two pieces of bread with meat, cheese, or

(27:48):
other fillings between them, eaten as a light meal. Now
someone else, I guess Miriam Webster added a split roll.
Now that's the real differentiating factor, you, guys, is we
are not a split roll.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
But it is.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
A splint roll is a sandwich. It's like a sun.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
But a split roll is.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Not necessarily connected the way that a taco is. Hey, Nick, Nick,
thanks for weighing in on this important debate. Is a
taco a sandwich?

Speaker 14 (28:18):
The taco is definitely not a sandwich. Okay, Why I
say this because I'm saying which you think of? Let's
see what's you An example of peanut, butter and jelly
is the two pieces of bread. I think it has
bread talking about it. A taco is a shell, and

(28:42):
I know it has the things in the middle, but
I would never ever consider that.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Now, Nick, have you ever had and I did this recently?
I think I did it two days ago. Have you
ever had taco bell delivered via like door dash or somebody? Yes,
Because I got hard. I got crunchy tacos delivered. It's
part of my I got hard when my crunchy taco
showed up. But anyway, don't don't don't worry about that.
Don't worry about that. I met in the mid section.

(29:07):
I mean, I became ver, I became stronger. I'm talking
about rock hard my muscles, you know, like my abs
and stuff. But if you delivered the meat, the meat
sort of makes the taco shell a little bit like mushy,
such that when you go to eat it, you wind
up eating it like a sandwich because you have to
eat it on the side, because if you eat it

(29:28):
up and down, the stuff just falls through, in which case,
my taco became a sandwich, did it not?

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Nick, my taco, But it's not. It could be like
a sandwich, but it is not.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
All right, Well, thank you, Nick. I'm just on the
I'm on I'm on the poles of what people are
talking about today.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Have a good day, man.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Yeah, I'm just see like and you know me, I'm
always like scrolling through the latest legal advancements, you know,
and so this is what people are talking about. Hey, Michelle,
i'd hi, Michelle, you're saying not a sandwich, which of
course is the wrong answer, but that's fine, Like you're
entitled to not be correct.

Speaker 12 (30:12):
It's definitely not a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
But why explain to me.

Speaker 12 (30:16):
Why, because like you need bread for it to be
a sandwich, and no bread on a taco.

Speaker 15 (30:22):
It's like someone is that it's a.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Corn shell, doesn't want to be a corn show could
be flour, It could be flower and bread too.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Is there corn?

Speaker 2 (30:29):
And is there corn bread?

Speaker 6 (30:31):
Can flower tortillas? You're you're wrong? You need to always
eat corn?

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Well, okay, now, I mean there's a lot of things
that are wrong right now, Michelle, this is wildly controversial.
Maps flower, that's a different segment, Michelle. All right, so
wait your turn. All right, good day, I have a
good day.

Speaker 9 (30:50):
Let me go.

Speaker 5 (30:51):
I know to.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
You need a flower?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I know, do you do it holds more?

Speaker 1 (30:59):
They're bigger. No, but the corn tro makes a bigger
sandwich with a flowers.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yea, Hey, Kayley, is a taco a sandwich? That's where
the court of law says, that's where the Supreme courts nudded.
Someone in Florida or somewhere said.

Speaker 10 (31:13):
This, Yeah, okay, So I was getting all riled up.

Speaker 15 (31:16):
I was about to say it's not a sandwich, but
then I started thinking of the actual verb.

Speaker 5 (31:20):
You're sandwiching things together.

Speaker 15 (31:22):
You know, you're squeezing them to get into your mouth.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Shutters, What an excellent point, you, what an excellent point.

Speaker 5 (31:28):
It came to me.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
I don't know. I took a sip of my coffee
and I came.

Speaker 5 (31:32):
You're so smart.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Yes, sometimes you gotta like marinate on this really heavy
hitting content before you, like, you got to allow it to
settle in for a second, before you make your decision.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Before you're out race. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
I would always ask people, because we do a lot
of very very serious topics on this show, and before
we become outrage like, let's take a second to think
about our position. And you did that, kid, and you
were going to call and tell me I was an idiot,
and then you took a sip of coffee and you
were like, now, hold on, I see the lights, you
know what.

Speaker 11 (31:58):
I zoned out into traffic and I let it come
to me.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
And I was like, when I'm eating a taco, you think.

Speaker 10 (32:03):
It as much as I care, I'm rotating it.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, take it into my mouth.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
That's exactly. And yeah, no, thank you, you've you've seen it.
You we're on the same page. Have a great day.
Thanks for listening.

Speaker 10 (32:13):
I've lived it.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
Yeah, you let me true story.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
I survived, you know, David, David, it's a sandwich.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
N Yeah, it's a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
And the telling people that don't that don't see our position, why.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
Well, because I mean, you can have like an open,
open faced sandwich, right, you just want need one piece
of bread, you need like a piece of cheese on
their piece of meat whatever.

Speaker 14 (32:39):
And it's a sandwich.

Speaker 6 (32:40):
So then why not a taco.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
You have a tardia some fillings in there, it's a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
I think by definition it is. I do, but they
and I understand no one calls it that. But no
one calls a Hamburger sandwich. And there's no debate about that.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
I'm not I'm not subscribing to that.

Speaker 9 (32:57):
I'm gonna take a I'm gonna take a step further.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
I also think that hot dog is a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, yeah, I do have to control No, I do too.
I did to Tony, thank you, No, thank you. I
like minded geniuses. Have a good day. Hey you too, Okay,
all right, problem solve. No, I mean the court of law.
You know, they said, let's let's take this to the
Supreme Court. Honestly, they got nothing else going on, right,
nothing is more thread show next well up in the

(33:25):
city's my last dame retire?

Speaker 5 (33:28):
You don't stop that, boy'd to god.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Yeah, honestly I've had enough Sabrina Corporator with that single espresso.
But Kiki, you got.

Speaker 5 (33:35):
What that double express that baby.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Guy bread show is?

Speaker 3 (33:41):
You know, like a thin toilet paper. So if it's wait, no,
I don't know that those nails you like?

Speaker 2 (33:49):
No, no, no, no, I don't remember this. You like thin
toilet paper?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
You would who hurt you?

Speaker 12 (33:55):
No one?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
No one likes toilet paper right to choose your and them.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
And and wash it?

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Yes, girl, that would be so mad if you gained
my house. But I like a thin toilet paper. I
don't want all that, like a like a cloth like.
I don't want all that. It leaves rights to doing
all that.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
I don't need that.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
I need as much distance between my skin and whatever
is happening there.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, so I will buy Scott in and if Scott
is not there, I will buy the off brand version
of Scott.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
The show is on. It's stay or go.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Brihanna's here, Hi, Brianna, good morning, good morning. By the way,
when I said to you look up azra by John
if you can spell it. Then someone texted me our
friend Violetta and said that was funny. It wasn't a
slam though. I don't know how to spell azrab by John,
So if you wanted to know where it was, you'd
have to. I guess you have to get close. Like
how many words is that? I don't even know it's
one word? But I think if you, I think you

(34:49):
could get close enough that but I don't. I don't
think I would spell it right the first time I
got it by John h.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
John right.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
I just wouldn't get it right the first time anyway, Brihanna,
I don't know worry about that. So see here go.
Thank you for your note. You can dm us you
can hit us up Fretshire Radio dot com. So you
are in a new relationship with a boyfriend of about
six months. This has been going on, yes.

Speaker 12 (35:15):
And I want to just preface by saying we are
very happy, We're very into each other, and everything is
great except one thing.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Great nice topic this. Thanks for calling. You'd want to
call here and brag I'm so happy in my life scrus.
She said stark that yeah, that relationship well, so what
is the one thing though?

Speaker 12 (35:37):
Well, so we have a very big age yap. So
I'm twenty four and he is fifty.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
Okay, all right, so we get a nice, nice twenty
six year age gap. Now I need to hear both
of Now, I'm not quite fifty. In fact, I'm not
anywhere near fifty. But but but you know, let's defend
the older let's defend the older men dating the younger
women thing for a moment until I hear the old thing.
So how did you meet? And like, why are we talking?

(36:04):
If you're happy? I get that it's a huge age gap,
but like what's the insecurity? Like where does it come from?
Why are we talking?

Speaker 12 (36:12):
Well, we met while we were both out, and this
is not like a thing for me, Like I don't
seek out men that are older than me. But we
met at a bar. I thought he was much younger
than fifty. He does not look fifty, and I approached
him and then we got along and after talking for
a while, he was like, by the way, how old
are you? So I wasn't like looking for this, but

(36:32):
it just kind of happened.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
And we've been.

Speaker 12 (36:35):
Dating for six months now, so it's like kind of
getting to be time to introduce him to my family.
But I'm very afraid of how they're going to react.
They know that I'm dating someone.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
But they don't know his age, does he have kids,
how old are his kids?

Speaker 5 (36:49):
He does not have kids, okay, because.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
That could get a little weir h you know if
I agree, if his kids were, you know, close to
your age. And there was my dad, right, yeah, that's right,
your dad's dated and when you're one of your friends.

Speaker 11 (37:01):
Right, well, I'm not her friend, but we did attend
the same high school at one point.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Yeah, we're not friends now, are we?

Speaker 5 (37:06):
We never were?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
But I can't.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
Help no, mom, right, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
So weird.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
And so your family's like, oh, this is so exciting,
Brianna has met someone or whatever. How do you I mean,
is your dad? Let me see, if you're twenty four
your dad your dad could very easily be close to
his age, which could make things kind of weird. I mean,
are you worried about what they're going to say?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
I am.

Speaker 12 (37:33):
I mean, I don't think they're going to tell me
to break up with him, but I don't think they're
going to be like jumping for joy about it. And
my friends know about him, and they're concerns. They've told
me that they're concerned.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Well that says a lot, now why it's a huge
age gap, right, But like why if you're happy, why
are they concerned?

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Would be my question?

Speaker 12 (37:53):
Well, none of them have met him, and I think
they're just like, why is a fifty year old man
dating a twenty four year old? Like they think it
reflects badly on but he's such a great guy and
they don't know him.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
So I have a lot of questions. First of all,
eight five, five, five nine one three five, you know
you know what? What what do you think when you
hear this this twenty four year old fifty year old dynamic?
I also would ask the question like why is it
necessarily a bad look? Like if you're a mature twenty
four year old and he's a decent guy and he's
not a perver, a weirdo or creep, then I guess

(38:27):
I don't know why this couldn't be a thing, Like, yeah,
it's unorthodox, but like why, I don't know, I don't
I don't know. I mean I've dated people of all ages.
I'm forty four, I've dated people anywhere from twenty five
to over fifty, so I've gone both ways. But like,
if I date someone who's over fifty, no one says
anything about that. I've dated people who are twenty eight
and the next person I date is my age, and

(38:48):
they think that they think I'm disgusting for that? But
is am I disgusting for that? Or is there an
insecurity about that? It's like, well, you were dating someone
so much younger, what are you doing with me? It's like, well,
because as I can like both things, right, Like, I'm
not necessarily I'm not targeting twenty twenty somethings. But if
I meet someone that I connect with you, then I'm

(39:09):
not really sure that I care about the age necessarily.
But your priorities may differ. I mean, he's fifty, Like,
do you want kids to? He may not want kids,
he may want not want to start now, Like, I
feel like that's the kind of stuff that might get
you in trouble, eh heard, I mean do you want kids?
She's like, received, yeah, yeah, yeat, you know, do.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
You want kids?

Speaker 12 (39:36):
I think I do?

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Okay, Well, I mean I get on it. Do you
I mean, have you had that discussion with him? I
feel like It's that kind of stuff that where you're
you might have an issue because you might very well
be very mature for your age and and find that
this guy offers security and money, a parental figure, you know,
or somebody that maybe Well, I'm just saying, like, you're

(39:59):
a You're allowed to be to gravitate towards whatever you need, right,
and maybe and there's something wrong. You're both adults, right,
I mean, there's nothing inherently wrong about this, But I
guess I wonder, like, do you do you think that
you will align on all of the principles and all
of the goals that you have for one another?

Speaker 12 (40:19):
Yeah, those are valid concerns, But I am also just
kind of like living in the moment of this relationship,
and for the moment, it's very good.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
Is he rich?

Speaker 12 (40:28):
Hell?

Speaker 6 (40:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Yeah, yeah, when leaving me, because I want to say that, like,
you know, when I was twenty four, I'm surprised that
anybody went out with me. When I was thirty four,
I'm surprised that anybody went out with me, to be honest, Like,
the difference between the human being that and I'm not
sure of that's saying much, but the difference between the
human being I am now and I was twenty years
ago is significantly different. And I don't know, I'm much

(40:52):
more settled. I'm much more kind of like, you know,
I don't know. I don't have anything to prove to
anybody anymore.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
I am who I am. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
I think I'm a better version of myself. You know,
back then, I thought I was hot stuff, and I
I don't know, I had a lot to prove. I
didn't have any resources. I didn't know, you know, my
butt from a hole in the wall, you know whatever.
I just so, I guess I can see why younger
women gravitate towards older men. I just wonder, I just
wonder how long you're you're sort of you're gonna be

(41:23):
on how many points you were aligned? Or hey, are
you happy not having kids and being with a guy
who's much older, who's rich and there's security there, And
I mean, I guess, I guess this all depends on
what your priorities.

Speaker 6 (41:34):
Are, right, God, lots to think about. Geez.

Speaker 2 (41:38):
Yeah, all right, Well, let me take some calls on this, Brianna,
and I will have to follow up. I can't wait
to hear and let me get let me guess, Brianna,
he's got money, he's he's he's mature and confident, and
the sex is really good.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Right, what's.

Speaker 2 (41:56):
Brianna? Thank you, good luck, have a good day, and
keep the radio and we'll see what people have to say. Bye, Caln.
You've done something like this.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Yeah, twenty was where I maxed out, maxed out.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
Excuse me, I choked up there thinking about it. Emotional Yeah, yeah,
when beneath my wings.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yeah, twenty is where I maxed out. But I don't know.

Speaker 11 (42:17):
I mean, I do also have concerns, Like one of
the reasons that I'm not still in that relationship is
like I and this is dark, but like I took
care of my grandpa as he was dying, and I
was like, I'm about to do that in like ten
years for this man, you know what I mean, Like
I just found I can't do it again.

Speaker 2 (42:32):
He was in his fifties.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
I think you had a little bit more time than that.
Hopefully I hear what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (42:37):
It was like, I can't do that.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
You're going to be a caretaker at some point you
marry this guy.

Speaker 11 (42:41):
Yeah, So that was part of it, honestly, I was like,
I need, I need a little because I want to
have kids.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
But I think I.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
I don't want to say anything. I think that generally
women think that men who date women who are much
younger are doing it like it's only to their benefit,
like it's just about sex or just about a young body,
or just about just about or or somehow it's like
navita or lack of maturity or manipulation or something. Not

(43:11):
every twenty something I've gone out with appealed to me right,
like they could be banging in every way, but like
we couldn't connect because we didn't have similar priorities because
they were I mean, I've met very mature late twenties,
early thirties people who you know, they're not into the partying,
they're not into the things that are traditionally stereotypically young stuff,

(43:32):
stuff that we all did go out and going out
every weekend and going out and getting crazy, stuff that
you maybe don't do when you get a little bit older.
So it hasn't always appealed to me, right, Like, sometimes
I've noticed the maturity gap and it doesn't work. So
I don't think it's in. And sure, I think there
are guys out there with a boat and they're rich
and they're old, and they're divorced, and they just want
hot chicks and they don't care about talking to them

(43:52):
or connecting. Fine too, And that's all right too, if
that's if you're transparent about that. But I don't know
that it's I don't know that it's always as it looks.
I think there are examples where it's like that, and
I think there are examples from the other way where
the girl has do really no interest in the guy.
He has interest in the money and the resources and
not getting messed with, you know, or not being with
an F boy, a younger F boy, right, and like her.

Speaker 11 (44:14):
Like, who's asking I mean, I'm not asking ages, so,
you know, like for my ex for example, he looked
he didn't look his age.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
So who's like going, wait, how old are you?

Speaker 2 (44:24):
No, Well, Diane, you say this is too big of
an age gap. This is a hard nol for you.

Speaker 12 (44:29):
Yeah, and when he was twenty four years old is
born she was, I mean when he was twenty four
she was born.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
It's no, absolutely not.

Speaker 6 (44:36):
I have a daughter that's almost that age, and I
would absolutely not be on board with this.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
So she comes home with. I mean, let me ask
you this.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
She's she's around twenty four of your.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Daughter, Diane, she's twenty five, okay, And I'm.

Speaker 2 (44:50):
Sure that in her life you've seen her dates some
real douchebags that are her own age, right, And they're douchebags,
maybe not because they're inherently bad people, but because they're
young and stupid and naive and and and and immature,
because we all are before we know better, right, So like,
would you there's no way that you could see this
for what it is, which is maybe he's a decent

(45:10):
guy and they connect and he's and he's got his
act together more than somebody her own age might.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
I can't.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
It's my husband' date.

Speaker 10 (45:19):
It's it's inappropriate because by the time she's going to
have babies with him, he's going to be ready for bad.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
Another wrong with that?

Speaker 2 (45:27):
You ready for let's say the big time?

Speaker 1 (45:31):
All right?

Speaker 9 (45:32):
Like they're going to be falling apart.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Come on, now, I see the concerns.

Speaker 2 (45:41):
I see the concerns, But I guess I take it
more to are their lifestyles going to align? Are their
goals going to align? Because I do think it's possible
that they both could be good people. And yeah, okay,
thank you, Diane. I know what I know. Yeah, yeah, okay,
well thank you Diana. Have a good day.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
You may not want to have kid.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
You may want to, I don't know, travel the world
and be secure and and maybe that guy can offer that,
and someone your own age can. I mean, I think
I think we all assumed that everybody has similar priorities,
and maybe this woman doesn't. I don't, but she did
say she was thinking about kids, and so that's an issue. Hey, Liz,
hi high Liz, So you this resonates with you. You've

(46:21):
been on the on her side of this.

Speaker 15 (46:24):
Yes, not such an huge age cap.

Speaker 6 (46:29):
But I dated someone who.

Speaker 10 (46:30):
Was fifteen years older than me years ago. I'm thirty now,
and I dated this person when I was twenty two,
and my parents were not on board with it. They
didn't they didn't like it. It was more like I've
never looked my age, so I look way younger than
I actually am, and they just thought it was weird.

(46:52):
And I've dated that person for two years and.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
We were like, uh huh, why did it all? I'm
sorry interrupt you, but why did it ultimately not work out?

Speaker 10 (47:03):
I think it was like I had a different mentality
back then, Like I wanted to go out and party
and do all this stuff. When you're like twenty and
he's always here trying to like settle down and start
a family and everything.

Speaker 1 (47:15):
It was more like that type of thing. I see.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Okay, so you were attracted to each other and there
was like a connection maybe physically or whatever, but again
that your priorities were different. Yes, yeah, yeah, Okay, Well,
thank you, Liz, have a good day. It's glad you called.
That's what. That's where I think ultimately they may align.
I don't know, not every twenty four year old wants
to go out and get hammered every weekend that every

(47:38):
fifty year old is like, you know, in a recliner
on AARP website, you know, I mean, I think there's
probably a compromise in there somewhere. Hey, Diane, another diet.
Diane number two certainly no less important than Diane number one,
just the second one to call in this segment.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
What do you think?

Speaker 6 (47:57):
What this is?

Speaker 2 (47:58):
A woman who called in Stay or Go she's twenty four,
did guy who's fifty her friends a concern her family
doesn't know and she'd been with him for six months
and is happy, but isn't sure.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
What do you think, Well, I think.

Speaker 15 (48:09):
If she were confident in knowing that this is a
good relationship for her, it's really healthy and strong. It
doesn't matter what other people think. But I'll tell you
I think her parents might pick up on that and say, wow,
this could be really good for you, because that's what
happened with me. And I was forty five. He was
twenty three years older than me. He was the age

(48:30):
of my father, and of course they had some you know,
like a second thought, but when they met him, they
could see how he related to me and how I
related to him, and it was wonderful. My mom actually
cried when we broke up.

Speaker 7 (48:46):
Oh wow.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
And what ultimately was the demise of the relationship. What
ultimately happened, Well, what happened.

Speaker 15 (48:53):
Was it was an energy difference where he actually had
more energy than I did. I was more of a thinker,
profound meditation, spirituality kind of a person, and he was
more of a let's go travel, let's go here, let's
go there, and I'm the world's worst traveler. So I
wanted him to be free to do what he really

(49:15):
felt like.

Speaker 12 (49:15):
He wanted to do, and I said.

Speaker 5 (49:18):
You know this, I really need to let let you
go oh wow wow.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
And Diane, I think I feel like when people hear
these age gaps, all they're thinking about, or at least
the first thing that comes to their mind is sex.
The first thing that comes to their mind is this
is this is about sex, This is about the physicality
the old guy wants young girl. And I don't that's
certainly probably an element in a lot of these cases,
but I don't think it is in everyone.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
No, oh, no, gosh no.

Speaker 15 (49:45):
I mean that was part of it, and we both
had kind of like wounded backgrounds in that area. But
the other part of it was that we were so
deeply connected in a just a fundamental way that we
had no matter what we did.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Yeah and so yeah, and in which case, it had
nothing to do with age. Really, it had more to
do with your interests and what you guys wanted to
do in life. And and I think that the situation
you ran into could happen if you were the same age,
or if you were thirty years apart.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
So sorry to think about that, oh all the time.

Speaker 15 (50:18):
And we still stay in touch. He's a lawyer, He
did my mother's papers before she passed. He was at
my dad's funeral. I mean we cried together. He's still
a wonderful friend.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
But you won't reconcile. There's no way that that you
can see, you know, finding some common.

Speaker 12 (50:34):
Grounds at this point he's in his nineties.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Oh well, I'm you know what.

Speaker 2 (50:42):
I want to get some papers of your own, you know. Okay, yeah, okay,
I mean you did the hard work, you know, time
for the payoff, you know. Oh god, we're terrible. All right,
thank you, Diane, have a good day, Thank you, thank
you for sharing. All right, I only have time. It
really was sweet.

Speaker 5 (51:03):
No, man, no, I mean yes.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I will also say forties and sixties I think are
probably less of a maturity difference than twenties and forties. Yes,
in any case, so I can see them.

Speaker 1 (51:15):
But listen from the male perspective. Here comes big Rich.
Ben Rich is here.

Speaker 2 (51:20):
He's forty seventy.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
His girlfriend's twenty five.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
My man, congrats, dude, come on, we don't have to
make a sound like that.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Fred, Is it like that?

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 6 (51:33):
I mean that those are the numbers, Yes, those are
the numbers.

Speaker 1 (51:35):
And how did you meet?

Speaker 9 (51:38):
We met at a mutual friend's house.

Speaker 6 (51:41):
But when we were in sure, she told me she
was twenty eight years old.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Well that's a big difference, rich twenty.

Speaker 1 (51:48):
Twenty.

Speaker 6 (51:49):
Come on, man, so you hello, you been together prime
at the time, she was twenty three, and she told
me she was twenty eight, and every time I saw
her after that it went down a year.

Speaker 2 (51:59):
Okay, right, so she's eighteen, So you've been for two years.
It says on the screen, you've been together for two years. Yeah,
so what's the future.

Speaker 6 (52:07):
Living together for two years, dating for like just a
little over two years.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Yeah, okay, and so what is it?

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Wow?

Speaker 2 (52:12):
She pulled she pulled adjasent on you and this moved
in and never left Ainty, Nothing wrong with that. What
what's the endgame here?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Like?

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Are you gonna get married and have kids and do
all the things that you would do with you?

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (52:23):
Yeah, that's that's that's what we're that's what we're hoping for.
I mean, we're obviously trying to get some stuff ironed.

Speaker 9 (52:29):
Out, uh, each of us in our in our lives.

Speaker 6 (52:32):
And then you know, her thing is is she wants
the white fence.

Speaker 9 (52:35):
Pick a fence, and then she'll get married.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Rich has to get divorced and she has to graduate
high school. So there's a luck going on.

Speaker 9 (52:43):
I've been divorced for seven years.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Richie was too easy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but no,
I hope, Look, I hope it works.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Out if you guys connect and everybody you know and
you're on the same page, and that I don't know
who would who should judge?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Rich?

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Right?

Speaker 6 (52:57):
Yeah, we get we get a lot of chargument online
and stuff like that. And she posts a lot of
one of her TikTok says which we met earlier. And
then it shows a picture of me and two thousand
and two and her in two thousand and.

Speaker 9 (53:09):
Two, and I love doing that.

Speaker 2 (53:12):
Yeah, that's not that's certainly going to feed that narrative. Hey, Rich,
good luck, man. I appreciate you calling.

Speaker 1 (53:19):
Have a good day. You're good sport.

Speaker 9 (53:20):
You guys have a good day, all right.

Speaker 5 (53:22):
Not good for rich.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Caitlin's entertainment report is on the Fread Show.

Speaker 11 (53:27):
MTV is going back to its roots ahead of the
VMAs this Sunday. The channel will air current and classic
music videos NonStop on MTV two, MTV Live, MTV Classic,
and their Pluto channel leading up to the actual show. However,
the main MTV channel will not air music videos like before.
The lineup features more than seven hundred music videos and

(53:48):
some that haven't even aired in over a decade, like
the Best of the Eighties, most VMA victories, and craziest
videos of all times, So look out for that if
you used to be a music video girly.

Speaker 15 (54:00):
Like I was.

Speaker 11 (54:01):
French, Montana proposed to Shika Mara, the Princess of Dubai.
We talked about it, but we didn't talk about the ring,
which is valued at one point one million dollars. The
custom designed ring, crafted by celebrity jeweler Eric the Jeweler,
which is a great name for a celebrity jeweler of
Mavanni and Co, features an eleven point five to three

(54:22):
carrot emerald cut diamond set on a diamond encrusted band.
The proposal took place in June, like I told you,
during Paris Fashion Week, shortly after French's runway debut.

Speaker 5 (54:31):
The couple announced their engagement on Instagram.

Speaker 11 (54:34):
Last week, which I'm sure it got lost in the
sauce of all the other engagements.

Speaker 5 (54:38):
Kiki first, then Taylor Swift second. She is the daughter
of Dubai's ruler. By the way, we're on the street.

Speaker 11 (54:45):
Is that Sidney Sweeney is dating a man who's not
very liked and his name is mister Scooter Brawn, you know,
like that Scooter with the Whole Masters and Taylor Swift.

Speaker 5 (54:55):
YadA YadA.

Speaker 11 (54:56):
Rumors started with a resurface video that's now going viral
from Venice that shows Sidney walking with Scooter and a
model shortly after Jeff Bezos wedding, which, like I said,
is all over TikTok right now. Scooter is also apparently
telling his friends that they're together, but neither has commented.
As far as I've seen, Sidney split from her fiance
Jonathan Divino recently, while Scooter divorced Yale Cohen in twenty

(55:20):
twenty one, and that was a fumble because she is
amazing and beautiful. Cindy Lapper concluded her farewell tour over
the weekend with a star studded final performance at the
Hollywood Bowl. The evening featured surprise appearances by Joni Mitchell, Chaer,
John Legend, and Sizza. Joni performed, Carrie John joined for

(55:40):
time after time, Scissa saying true colors and share closed
out the show with Cindy and girls just want to
have fun, which is amazing. By the way, if you
missed any part of our show and you want to
catch up from today or any other day, type the
Fred Show on demand and if you could, it really
helps set us as a preset on the free iHeartRadio
app Fred Show.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Good morning, thanks for having us on the radio, on
the iHeart app Live and anytime search put a fresh
show on demand. The most annoying thing that someone can
do in an email, I know, Jason, Oh, I know, Jason.
Probably you probably receive and send more emails at times
fifty than anybody on this show. But eight five five

(56:19):
five three five what comes to mind immediately, because there
is one phrase that apparently sets people off more than
any other. Now for me, there are a few, and
I'm guilty of some of them too, and I have
the best intentions. But the ones that I think I
do that probably annoys people is some kind of salutation

(56:40):
at the beginning, like Hey, I hope you're well or
hope everything's good or whatever, you know, Like I try
to set the mood like hey, I hope you're great.
And then here's the thing I want you to do
that you probably don't want to do, or here's the
thing I'm asking from you that you don't want to
that you probably you're not gonna want to do. Yeah,
And I think that annoys people.

Speaker 4 (56:56):
I've stopped that because I used to think like, oh,
I have to like open I you know, but now
I'm like, no, just get right to it because I
hate when I have to like read through multiple paragraphs.
But I think, like I hate and I think it's
like super condescending is when someone puts like the dot
dot dot after something, because I feel like you're eluding,
like I'm stupid, Like I feel like you have like

(57:17):
an attitude if you're like, okay, dot dot dot dot,
Like why why are you hitting the dots so many times?

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Like you are saying that like that you're you're the
dots are imploying a dramatic pause.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Yeah, it's like what all right?

Speaker 2 (57:32):
But I need you to know there's like an all right,
and then it's sound afterwards, right like hello, I did.

Speaker 4 (57:37):
See this in an email that was not directed on me,
but I love it and I kind of want to
like utilize it. But it's said thank you in advance
for your comprehensionstanding yeah, but like no, it was thank you,
like in advance, like you're going to read this and
comprehend it.

Speaker 2 (57:55):
And I'm thinking you in advance because you're going to
do it. I'm like, yeah, is sapid you want? That
drives me on that note one? The other one drives
me crazy. Is action required?

Speaker 9 (58:04):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (58:05):
With a little the little what is the exclamation point?
Action require? Oh?

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Oh, so your email requires me to actually do something?
But like all the other emails, I get nope, but
apparently I don't do anything with.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
You said right in line, and when I get to you,
I get you can put whatever you can put exclamation
points start it.

Speaker 2 (58:20):
Why I don't want you to do action required? Okay, Well,
a lot of emails that people send me throughout the
day require me to respond or do something. So why
is your Why does yours have to say action required?

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Every one of them does? It's annoying? Action needed?

Speaker 6 (58:32):
Urgent?

Speaker 2 (58:33):
Yeah, you got me going now here, you got me
going out? Just checking in is consider one of the
worst phrases to put in an email, isn't it kind
of implied by the fact that I sent the email
just or or if I'm circling back, just checking in
is like, hey, dumbass, why didn't you read the other
email I sent you? Why haven't you responded to the

(58:53):
other thing I sent you?

Speaker 8 (58:54):
That's what you're saying, you think, So I like saying
just following up because sometimes I think people don't read
or em as maybe as much as I do. Like
I'll say, hey, just following up, and sometimes they see
appreciative because I'll say, oh, thank you so much, like
I believe we're got to respond.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
And I don't think no one's mad at me, but
now I'm.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
Reconcerned I don't follow up with me. That's the biggest fact.
I read it, and if I when I have it,
I will get it to you. I promise I'll stop.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
Oh wow, I wouldn't mind it follow up like, because
I'm going.

Speaker 8 (59:21):
To follow up if I get that, and I'll be like, well,
thank you so much for reminding me. But I think
I'm just wired that way. I don't know where to meet.

Speaker 5 (59:26):
Doesn't it doesn't bother me because I do it to
other people.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Yeah, I would just ask the question again. I don't
think I would say.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
I copy and paste, I copy the previous message and
just repast it like two days later and be like, hello,
just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
I'm not ultra sensitive, as you know about these kind
of things, but like the the like, I don't, I don't.
I don't read too much into it. But it's just
following up. It's kind of like, Hey, what it says
to me is, hey, remember I sent this to you already,
and apparently you didn't. You know, I wasn't important enough
for you to say anything. So here I am again.
So I think I would just ask the question again,
just be like, hey, still needing answer. I only in

(01:00:00):
an answer on this or whatever. Just be very direct.
I think just checking in, according to one expert, doesn't
accomplish the task it seemingly needs to, which is to
force the issue or expedite the to do item. Other
things that people drive them crazy and they're texting. I
hope this email finds you well. I feel like I've
written something like that before.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
And I mean it. I mean it. It never does that.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna well, neither of mine,
which is why I'm hoping you're well.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
I'm not well, and I can there's no boyd and
asking me if I am, and most people don't, but
I'm hoping that you are. Thanks in advance, please advise
all the best or best. I don't know why that's annoying.
Best and sincerely, and that's like I've something, nan I
would write a handwritten letter to my grandfather and who's

(01:00:50):
at war or something. Sincerely. I don't know, you know, no, No,
I guess that thanks in advance is like I'm asking
you to do something. So I'm thanking you now because
it's an email and I won't necessarily see you to
follow up to tell you thank you again. So I
guess I don't know why that one's so bad. Thanks
in advance for your comprehension, impatient repetition, per our conversation,

(01:01:15):
confirming receipt, just checking in any updates on this. Again,
I don't know if that's unfair, because I get if
you're if you're emailing someone and record and you require
information from them to complete the task you're supposed to complete,
then I guess I don't see a problem with saying hey,
I need this, Yeah, Like that doesn't hit me as

(01:01:35):
bad as following up or circling, as per my last email.

Speaker 5 (01:01:44):
I got something for you below that you can see.

Speaker 4 (01:01:46):
It that lazy that you can't actually type your question
you want to read through a five threat?

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (01:01:54):
But the per conversation is that bad?

Speaker 8 (01:01:56):
Because I feel like if you have a conversation with
let's just say your cowork or your boss in person, like,
wouldn't you want to put up in an email or Recapitin.

Speaker 2 (01:02:03):
Theory, I could just I could just keep going with
the subject matter and I don't have to be, Hey,
dumb ass, remember what we talked about. I could just
I don't have to say. I could just keep going
or or give them what they asked for. If they're
too dumb to remember the conversation that we had, you know,
five minutes ago, then is that really a me?

Speaker 8 (01:02:21):
I think it's more of just like paper trailing yourself
of just being like, hey, we spoke on this day,
kind of just for your own record.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
This happened. Yet, what is that?

Speaker 14 (01:02:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:02:30):
I don't work in corporate, but that seems like it
would be.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
People don't like cheery responses Happy Monday, Happy this emojis
colored fonts. I I don't like when people colors. I
don't and God bless my mom. But she uses like
your teen font. It's like blue or pink or red,
and it's like not standard font. And I love my

(01:02:52):
mom so much, but it's like there is a standard
format for writing emails and it's where our eyes are
used to seeing and it's easy on the eyes. But
she uses like a cursive fond and like and it's
like another right right, yeah, she uses htmo, I will
bold something.

Speaker 1 (01:03:11):
That one thing about me is I will bold.

Speaker 5 (01:03:13):
Oh I've noticed condition, but you don't want to take it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
You know you can bold back at me.

Speaker 5 (01:03:19):
Okay, yeah, but we can't follow up today.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Let me see here.

Speaker 2 (01:03:27):
Lack of targeting, Like if you were to say, if
you write an email to me that says to whom
it may concern, then I automatically know that you don't
know who you send the email to. You automatically, this
is not an email that was even intended for. You're
hoping I'll respond, but you don't know who you sent
it to because you send it to like a mass
list or something.

Speaker 1 (01:03:44):
So no concern.

Speaker 2 (01:03:45):
No, I'm not, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
Yeah, and if I'm in the CC line, I'm not answering,
So like, don't ask a question that you want to
answer for me, put me in the two line.

Speaker 5 (01:03:55):
You know what I'm saying specific Yes, Oh.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
I see, yeah, I guess, I guess yeah yeah, if
I if I'm if you're supposed to be included versus
just seeing it, then you're in the two line. If
you're on the CC line, that's these people are doing
it and I need you to make sure that you
saw it right. That's right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:12):
Yeah, people just willy really put people in boxes and
it's like no, like there's a reason.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Yeah, I agree with that. And then cap caps. People
annoyed by caps. They don't want capital letters on stuff
because it does come off like you're yelling at me.
So I would argue the same. I would say, how
about we don't we don't want the caps. But yeah,
the one that gets everybody is just checking in.

Speaker 5 (01:04:37):
I'll stop checking in. I don't that the city.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Is how does your Urban Dictionary name go?

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Again? Kailin one of the most attractive people of all time? Ahways,
high standers, I'm one of the hottest people of all time,
and it wasn't it. That's what Urban Dictionary says about Fred.
Fred's show is on. I'm wearing like a lattice, flannelss
plaid shirt. I'm trying to look manly today.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
It's given, is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Well, I'm looking for an AX so I can go
cut a tree down or something, you know, because I'm
out of firewood at the cabin. Oh wow, So we
don't have electricity or running water out there, so I
probably a head out to the well A little bit
like I'm trying to think of, like what are like
manly stuff?

Speaker 1 (01:05:22):
Ever been left waiting by the phone? It's the French show.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Hey, Mike, good morning, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
How are you?

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (01:05:32):
Okay, Hey, you sounded distraught. I mean people call in
here sometimes for waiting and they're like all up eating stuff.
It's like you got ghosted man. Oh yea, I'm so
happy about But Mike didn't sound that happy. What happened
with this woman, Becky? I want to hear about how
you met, about any dates you've been on, and then
kind of where things stand now.

Speaker 16 (01:05:48):
Yeah, I mean I thought it went well and I
feel like I have a good read on this kind
of stuff, you know, I have, but went on to
two dates and been at a bar, turned out to
the same uh college and you know which atted it up,
went out, got some drinks in this mess cow place,
and then met up for dinner a couple of nights later, and.

Speaker 5 (01:06:12):
They even went back to their place.

Speaker 2 (01:06:13):
Okay, And and then what happened then like PG, But
what happened then like good stuff, all the good stuff,
some of the good.

Speaker 1 (01:06:19):
Stuff, would say all the good stuff.

Speaker 5 (01:06:24):
But uh, and I feel like it's did a pretty
decent job.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
If you do.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
As far as I'm concern, I did a great job.
It was a great effort from me.

Speaker 6 (01:06:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
A couple of like weird moments. There's a couple of
weird moments where I felt like there was a reset.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
But you know, you know, Okay, But overall, you met
in the wild, So so that's a good start. So
you saw each other in person, you were able to
gauge chemistry, you have some stuff in common. You went
on two dates. These are all usually good signs. You
hooked up. This is all usually good stuff. Except you
have not heard from this woman Becky since the second date. Correct, Okay,

(01:07:04):
And you want to know why, of course, and I
would too. So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna
call Becky. You'll be on the phone. We're gonna ask
these questions at some point. You're welcome to jump in
after we get you some info. And the hope, as
always is that we can set you up on I
guess a third date in this case and pay for it.
Sound good?

Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
Yeah, yeah, sure, that sounds great.

Speaker 2 (01:07:22):
Hey, Mike, welcome back.

Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
Mike.

Speaker 2 (01:07:24):
Let's call up Becky. You guys, you met out, you
went on two dates. The dates went really really well.
You haven't heard from her since the second date, and
you want to know why. Sure, I mean, that's what
we're doing, right, That's what you asked me to do. Yeah,
you called us, you know. Okay, all right, Mike, let's
just I gotta talk to Becky now, so just good luck. Hello,

(01:07:59):
Hi Bey, Hey Becky, good morning. My name is Fredam
calling from the Fred's Show, the Morning radio Show. I
have to tell you the whole crew is here and
we are on the radio right now, and I would
need your permission to continue with the call. Can which
have for just a second?

Speaker 9 (01:08:13):
Oh my god?

Speaker 12 (01:08:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:08:15):
Sure, well, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
We appreciate that we're call on behalf of a guy
that we just met, a fascinating young man named Mike.
I guess you went out with Mike. You met him out,
he went at the same college a couple of dates.
You remember this guy, I hope, Oh yeah, I do. Okay, Well,
he reached out to us and he told us that,
you know, kind of how you met and about going
to the same college and a couple of dates that
he thought went well. But he says he hasn't heard

(01:08:37):
from you since the second date, and he feels like
you're ghosting him. I mean, is that what's going on
back here? Are you ghosting him?

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
And if so, why?

Speaker 6 (01:08:44):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:08:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:08:47):
Yeah, and Mike was very nice. I just I'm not
I don't think I'm really interested in seeing him again.

Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
So he's a nice guy that you went on two
dates with and you met in the wild, which is
a big deal. I think that makes a difference because again,
you know, you kind of got it. You saw what
he looked like, he had a vibe for the chemistry,
You had a kind of a pre date conversation. So
I think there's a little more, you know, a higher
chance of things going well. But why isn't it going
to work If he's a nice guy and there's all that. Then,

(01:09:14):
then why don't we want to go out with him anymore?

Speaker 13 (01:09:18):
Okay, you really want me to say yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:09:22):
We want you to say oh yeah, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Well I was.

Speaker 13 (01:09:26):
I was very excited to meet him. It is really
rare to meet somebody in the wild like that. And
I had a really nice time on our dates. Basically
on our second date, we went back to my place
and just some things happened, some things legis things and.

Speaker 5 (01:09:47):
Well, okay, he he is waxed from like eyebrows.

Speaker 13 (01:09:55):
To the tips of his toes like bald as a newborn.

Speaker 5 (01:10:00):
Maybe feel.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
Every everywhere, like every.

Speaker 13 (01:10:04):
Hard like every not just hardwood floors like arm pits, arms, fingers, toes.

Speaker 5 (01:10:12):
Legs, fingers like wow, wow, we watched the toes.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
We're waxing toes. You work your toes.

Speaker 5 (01:10:21):
You never watch your toes?

Speaker 9 (01:10:22):
No, my good.

Speaker 5 (01:10:23):
And it's once we flip up season.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
I guess I don't know. I got harry legs to
go with my hairy toes here. Wow. Okay, so this
dude made a concerted effort to make sure that like
everything was gone, and I mean, you have an appointment
for that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
You got to get me.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
You got to contort yourself I mean, there's a lot
going on there. I can't even imagine the pain and
the expense. And I've heard of people maxing, you know,
certain things, but not everything. Let me bring you yeah, no,
go ahead, go ahead, no please, well you.

Speaker 13 (01:10:53):
No, I appreciate the certain things, right or like a
little bit of like trimming or some sort of uh
huh aly effort to be tidy. But this was something
else I've never I it's a lot of my girlfriends
aren't that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Yeah, right, not that conscious about it. Well, I mean,
Paulina is clearly, But let's bring Mike in. I forgot
to mention that Mike is here. I'm very forgetful. Mike
had to tell huh had to tell all right? Well yeah,
for the most part.

Speaker 16 (01:11:23):
Sure, yeah, but you know, my eyebrows, I don't wax
my eyebrows, okay, like they just never.

Speaker 9 (01:11:28):
Grew in that.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Well okay, well, and you don't wax the hair on
the top of your head. It sounds like so. But
everything else, I mean, yeah, yeah, I mean it's that
like a monthly appointment, a weekly thing, Like how often
do you have to attend to that?

Speaker 1 (01:11:41):
I'm usually every couple of months. Huh.

Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
Okay, and you just that's just sort of you feel
like that's I don't know, you look better, you feel
better when you do that. I mean, I'm not judging
it seems aggressive, but you know, I mean, hey.

Speaker 5 (01:11:56):
I mean it's an element of like, you know, it's
got to you know, look a little bit better.

Speaker 16 (01:11:59):
But is also I have this weird, you know, kind
of unique theory about it, where like too much like
hair on your body, like you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:07):
Know, it attracts like germs, like he gets sick easier.

Speaker 2 (01:12:11):
What I don't know about that. We'll have to look
into that scientifically.

Speaker 5 (01:12:15):
But no, your hair has a purpose on your body.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Actually, yeah, you're right, it's supposed to be. Yeah, most
doctors would tell you that where the hair where is
supposed to be there, and that we have decided as
a convention to remove it in some cases. But so Becky,
for you, this was what it was, just like it
was just a little off putting.

Speaker 1 (01:12:32):
Are you looking?

Speaker 2 (01:12:32):
You're looking for someone like you're in Some people are
into the hair, they're into like you know, Matt that
they think that that's masculine. I don't know if that's
right or wrong, but that's just is that kind of
what where you're at.

Speaker 13 (01:12:43):
Yeah, I'm embarrassed because I don't I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:12:45):
Want to hurt his feelings. But yeah, it was a lot.

Speaker 10 (01:12:49):
It was.

Speaker 13 (01:12:50):
It made me self conscious that like, am I going
to be am? I not smooth enough for you. I
made an effort, but.

Speaker 5 (01:12:56):
Oh my god, I mean to go with him.

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
You know, he knows the per and y'all could just
you know, fade in wax and whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:13:06):
Yea, he torn because I feel like we're giving him
a hard time, like.

Speaker 11 (01:13:09):
We what's wrong?

Speaker 5 (01:13:10):
He want to be clean, He wanted to be smooth,
you know, like you think that should be a deal breaker.
So it was so smooth, it was like incantile.

Speaker 13 (01:13:21):
It was like it was like if you've ever like
overexfoliated your skin, and it's like off puttingly smooth.

Speaker 6 (01:13:29):
I got a guy that's good.

Speaker 5 (01:13:31):
I'm gonna I'm not going to offer up the guy
that's not going to do a great job.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Like he knew that it was date night, and so
maybe he just went to the guy, you know, in
anticipation of the date night. All right, but I'm not
convinced that if Big Tim came home head to toe.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
And Big Tim came home and Jason was his guy.

Speaker 12 (01:13:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Yeah, apparently Jason's voluntary to be the guy runs off
to Astetuian school right now to do this. Okay, Look,
that's his choice. He feels good about it, that's what
he wants to do. Becky, you're saying that you weren't
attracted to it. You thought it was I don't know
it was abnormal for you. You went into it exactly.

Speaker 13 (01:14:17):
I've never met a straight man do that in my life,
and so it's it's a pass for me. But I
know that somebody is gonna appreciate all of that.

Speaker 6 (01:14:27):
Euffart.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Okay, all right, Hey, Mike, look you do you You
know they call you smooth on the streets. I heard. Yeah,
she's not into him. It's all the man, dude his
his time. He shaves some seconds minutes off the time.
The guy can swim so fast like lightning.

Speaker 1 (01:14:50):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:50):
Like, I don't know, Mike, she's not into it. It
can't make her be into it. I'm sure someone will
appreciate this, and and I wish you both the best
of luck. I don't even have to, I assume, just
to be sure you are no second date, Becky or.

Speaker 5 (01:15:01):
Third I mean, would you ever consider not being sole Hairwin?

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
I mean, yeah, so now all of a sudden, you'll
grow your plait a minute, You're so, yeah, you wait
a minute, you says. Now, You're like, I'll just grow
it out for you, right.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
What about the appointment with the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
He's gonna go out of business?

Speaker 16 (01:15:20):
You do, man and be if the guy thought Becky,
he would understand, Oh, okay, you know what.

Speaker 2 (01:15:27):
I don't know. I'm gonna let you two work this out,
because this is I am you. If y'all want to talking,
y'all to.

Speaker 1 (01:15:32):
Callon's Entertainment report, He's on the Fred Show.

Speaker 11 (01:15:35):
Bill Belichick's highly anticipated debut as head coach of the
UNC tar Heels turned into kind of a nightmare as
they were overwhelmed by TCU with a final score of
forty eight to fourteen. Despite an early touchdown, the tar
Heels allowed forty one unanswered points, and the game, attended
by celebrities like Michael Jordan, failed to deliver on all

(01:15:58):
of this expected excitement, leaving fans and analysts questioning the
team's future under Belichick's leadership.

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
In other college news.

Speaker 11 (01:16:07):
College football News, I should say sorry, Jason Brown, the
third ranked Ohio State Buck Guys beat the top range
Texas Longhorns on Saturday, fourteen to seven. The Book Guys
were led by their defense, which stopped Texas four times
on forced Down.

Speaker 5 (01:16:20):
So there you go. Let's move on to some you know,
fun stuff, shall we.

Speaker 11 (01:16:25):
Fifth Harmony reunited on stage for the first time in
seven years during the Jonas Brothers Jonas twenty tour stop
in Dallas. They did their twenty fifteen banger worth It
in matching black outfits. Earlier in the day, the group's
official X account posted for the first time since twenty eighteen,
I think, fueling reunion speculation. The group's hiatus started a
few years after Camilla Cabello left the group, with each

(01:16:49):
mover pursuing solo projects as well. Camilla did not attend,
but showed some love online with four red heart emojis.
The rockshock fans at the Venice Film Festival with a
much slim look, having reportedly dropped around sixty pounds for
his role as MMA fighter Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine.
The film earned a fifteen minute Standing ovation at the festival,

(01:17:12):
moving the Rock and Mark Kurt to tears. Actually the
Rock called the transformation a personal and professional shift towards
more dramatic roles. The movie will hit theaters October third,
and speaking of movies, Weapons took the top spot at
the Labor Day weekend box office, while Jaws, Yes like
the old movie Jaws in honor of the fiftieth anniversary,

(01:17:33):
beat out two new movies made ten million and came
in second, Caught Stealing that crime thriller I Really Want
to See It with Austin Butler and Zoe Kravitz that
came in third. Fourth went to Freaky Friday, the sequel
to the twenty or two thousand three Excuse me Disney
movie with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
Freaky Friday.

Speaker 11 (01:17:52):
Of course, the weekend's other new release, The Roses, came
in fifth with only an estimated eight million through Labor Day.

Guys, did you know the first ever alarm clock could
only ring at four am, which that would have worked
for most of us. Yeah, would have been perfect. So
my alarm goes off the first time. The seventh time
is around four fifteen, as I hit snooze over and
over again. The first American alarm clock was invented by
Levi Hutchins in seventeen eighty seven. It took sixty years

(01:18:46):
for the French inventor Antoine Redier. I don't know if
I said the right to a patent an adjustable one,
but yes, the very first alarm clock would only ring
at four block in the morning.
