Fred Show, good morning, thanks for having us on the radio,

Fred show on demand. Kiki's going to my hometown this weekend.
You're going to Scottsdale, Arizona. Do you know where you're
aren't you?

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Is it this weekend? Phoenix? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Well same thing, close to each other? Yeah, all right, yeah,
maybe take my word for it since I grew up there.
But anyway, I look like you're like you're like, no,
I'm not. I'm going to Phoenix, Okay, whatever you're going
to here. Like like most cities, it's uh, it's kind
of like, uh, they all kind of blend together. You Phoenix, Scottsdale, Masa, Glendale.

(01:41):
I can go on and on, but they just there.
It's all kind of like one big big thing that separate,
kind of like Chicago, kind of like a lot of places,
it's kind of all just one big thing. There's not
a whole lot of separation. Like you could drive down
one road. If you drove down Scottsdale Road, you could
go from Fountain basically from Fountain Hills Cave Creek all
the way to like I don't even know where, and
you wouldn't necessarily even though you left one time and

(02:03):
went to the other.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Ohs and the spring training going on there too. Yeah,
it is my in laws. All the baseball players and
all the group.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Girls are okay, not me, Like looking at my lips?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Can you me relaxed? I don't want just did that
to her. I took my tongue and I lit my lips.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, hey, let's remember Kiki's going to Phoenix, so you
know she won't see them, right if it's in one
of the neighboring cities, she'd have no idea. So you're going.
Do you know where you're staying in Phoenae? I don't
have say exactly, because we have psychos that listen. Some
psychos that listen, but we have a couple of psychos.
I shouldn't say that of the thirteen, we might have
a psycho that listens. So generally speaking, where are you staying,

(02:43):
like in a big hotel or any airbnb? Or what
are you doing?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
We're doing an airbnb with a pool in the backyard.
Oh yes, okay? And what kind of activities you have planned?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Because you wrote today that you wanted me to tell
you where to go when you go to my hometown
Ish for this trip. So here's the problem. I don't
know if anyone else is like this, who doesn't live
where they grew up. But people ask me all the time,
like because they go to Scottsdale in the spring in
the winter time because it's warm there, and hey, what
do I do? Where do I eat? I have no idea.

(03:13):
I don't know, no idea. I haven't lived there in
well over twenty years full time. And when I go back,
I hang out with my parents and my friends. I
don't really even go much further than like my neighborhood.
So I honestly I have no idea where to tell
you to go? But what do you have planned for
this thing?

Speaker 4 (03:29):
So we're doing like a brunch one day, we're doing
a day at some like indoor adult water park, which
is like a They also have a spa.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
There and an indoor Is that like hedonism? Water park
is like every is everyone naked at this thing?

Speaker 5 (03:43):
Like?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
What is it an indoor adult water bar? Ope? So
I don't know, but it's like they have cabanas, they.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Have bar, you know, probably yeah, bring you drinks. It
sounds like a resort but inside a beach club.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
So we'll do a day there because I think water park,
I think like gigantic water slide and just naked grown ups,
which would be sort of a weird thing.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Now, why don't you hang out? Well, you set an
adult water park.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I mean if it's an adult if you have to put
the word adult in front of water parks, then I
feel like we're specifying that whatever's going on kids shouldn't see.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Because I'm trying to make I'm trying to get you
the like the picture a bunch of women by a
pool with drinks in a cabana with a water slide there.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You know what I'm saying. Okay, you're going to like, yeah,
you're going to a day club. Yes, Sky Island Bungalow.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
Oh wait, okay, because in my mind I had like
it's a lazy river there, great will floedge for grown ups,
you know, like where you're like naked at the bottom
of the slide and the next guy that comes down
like you guys gotta make out of it.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I don't know, maybe this is just my fantasy, but
you're saying adult water park, and immediately I'm going to,
you know, to kind of place at our friend lyon
Rodgers hangs out where everyone's just walking around naked all
the time.

Speaker 7 (04:55):
No, we won't have on swimsuits, just like kids aren't
allowed because it's a bar.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
You just right to naked. Like, forget you. This looks nice.
I like my version of it.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
I like the Kiki's going to an adult naked porny
water park this weekend.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
That's what I like. But are you on the slide,
this huge slide? You know I'm not. I'm too strong,
all right, So you're doing it? Are you hanging out
with my mom?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Because nothing would surprise me more than if you went
to Arizona and then you wind up meeting up with
mom of Fred and and you know, moving in on
my inheritance.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
I know I can't tell you because you will try
to fly their No, I can't tell you.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Why would I try to think I would try to intervene.
She couldn't hang out with my mom.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yes, you would. You talk to my mom, probably more
than I do. You would try to get in the
middle of our date and we can't have that.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Don't take my mom to be adult naked porny website,
water slide wherever you're going.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Oh, she didn't want to set it up, set it
up with me, So she's a regular. There's my name
at the door.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
She said, Oh my god, However, have you ever found
out something like that about your parents? Have any of
you were I'm just curious eight five five five three
five have you ever found out that, like your parents,
who you believe to be unassuming whatever, you're you're grown
up now you're not in the house anymore, and you

(06:14):
find out that like they go on vacation to one
of those hedonism places, or they go to like a
swinger's place, or I'm not even.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Trying to be like, right, well, yeah, there's a place.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
There's a place in Illinois called the Ciberis, which is
a hotel that is exactly what I'm imagining Kiki's going to,
except hers has water slides, and then again I think
this one does too, actually, but essentially, it's a hotel
where the rooms are it's it's.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Set up to go do that. It's set up to
go that.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
That's the purtins like hot tub in the room and
like your ears on the ceilings and whatever. Like if
the Ciberis it's intended for you to go just to
grown up stuff, that's that you don't go there, like
that's not the place you stay on a road trip
when you're on your way to you know, Tuscaloosa or whatever.
Like you don't just pull over there, you know, for
a nice rest, like you're going there to have an affair,

(07:05):
You're going there to do something crazy. It turns out
Jason's parents used to hang out there when he was
growing up, and they had no idea.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Frequent fires or he had no idea he had the
Rewards club card. I feel like your.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Dad, Kalin would be because your parents should divorce, you
have your stepdad and then you have your dad. I
feel like the way that you describe your dad, he'd
be the kind of guy that you would find out,
you know, goes to one of these like I don't know,
has some sort of riskue hobby or something.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh, I mean my dad.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
I can remember my dad going to raves. Like my
dad is a partier. He was rather so Yeah, I
mean I definitely believe that, and he spares no detail,
so I do know about it. Unfortunately I didn't have
to find out from anyone else.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I'm pretty sure that this person did I'm pretty sure
this person did not mean what they just texted. It
surprises me to hear that Fred says an adult porn
naked water park would be his fantasy, considering how homophobic
he is.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Oh but the hold.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
But the next sentence is, imagine the nastiness. I'm assuming
you met germaphobic? Oh my god, Yeah, because I'm very
much not homophobic. So again I wouldn't nothing nothing on
the text line, which surprised me these days, except the
next line says, can you imagine the nastiness? I mean,
I assume you mean, I assume you mean germophobic.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Let's go with that.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, because I am not the ladder or the former.
I am the ladder, so I assume, yeah, And honestly,
it is not, in fact my fantasy. And no, I
would not go there because of the germs, because imagine
if you went to a place where that's all that
they that's what it's intended to be, and that's all
they do there, you know. Then I mean hotels are
like that anyway. But if you went to a hotel

(08:43):
that's specialized in just being nasty, then yeah, you can
assume there's DNA everywhere. Oh so anyway, okay, So I
was just curious if anybody knew of any sort of like,
oh wait, we do. Oh hold on a second, Lizzie, Hey, Lizzy,
Good morning, Good morning, Lizzy. So I was just curious
if you since we're talking about where Kik's going this weekend,

(09:04):
which is a quote unquote adult water park.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
I still don't know what that means. But did you ever?

Speaker 2 (09:10):
And then Jason's parents went to like, you know, the
Freaky Hotel. Did your parents ever? Did you find out
that your parents are into something that you're like? What
on earth?

Speaker 8 (09:19):
So my parents are the ecidom of old people. Couple,
there's seventy four. They met at the Playboy Club in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (09:31):
And apparently there was a hot tom that's where they
met and then they were engaged on their second date
and my dad bought a ring to the second date.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Wow wow wow.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
So they used to have these things all over the country.
My dad, my dad was a I guess you got
you were like a key member something and you've got
a key, and the key got you into these places
all over the country. So my dad had a membership
to one of these, like in the seventies, and so
you'd go to you know, big cities and they would
have these Playboy clubs right exactly, And so I guess
I should go there and it was like a bar
and a hangout. Wasn't necessarily sillacious. But yeah, so your

(10:05):
parents met at the Playboy Club and then look at you.
How long did it take to for them to make you? Soundly?
They didn't waste much time.

Speaker 8 (10:13):
I actually am adopted, so twenty years later they adopted me,
and now they've been married for forty five years.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Wow. Okay, so romance starts at the at the Playboy.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Club obviously, Yeah club, I love that, Lizzie.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
All right, well I'll meet you there, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well, Keithy'll be there before me. But anyways, I hate
the same story, Debbie.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
I mean, that's love, by the way, that's I mean
when I when I think of like Cinderella stories, I
think of just the one she just told. Hey, Debbie, hey, hey,
good morning. Did you what did you find out about
your parents or or people who were important to you
later at life?

Speaker 1 (10:49):
And you were blown away?

Speaker 8 (10:50):
It was kind of my daughter finding out about me.

Speaker 9 (10:54):
I went to an adults only clothing optional resource a
male friend of mine and my daughter was about nineteen twenty,
and she had called me while I was there and
asked me how it was.

Speaker 8 (11:07):
Going, and I said, it was really.

Speaker 9 (11:08):
Nice all that, and then I slipped up because she
was really into tattoos, and I mentioned that there was
a guy there, so, yeah, you wouldn't believe that there's
this guy here and he's literally got tattoos everywhere. He
didn't you know, down there, And she's like, quit a minute.

Speaker 10 (11:24):
What, I didn't know this kind of place are nice?

Speaker 9 (11:28):
I was, well, you know, you know, never mind, so yeah,
it was.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
It was a little awkward, but wow, that's that guy.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Must have been a good friend, a good friend of yours.

Speaker 8 (11:41):
He was a very well, yeah, my friend was a.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
Very good friend.

Speaker 8 (11:44):
He got me there by telling me when I said
I wasn't sure I could go to a place and
be naked in pubric he said, well, it's not like
you're going to be naked in Walmart, And you know,
he was right, Wow, it's different when it's funny.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Is now, were you guys now when you you used
the term friend loosely? I mean in this case, I'm
assuming or do you? Were you actually friends with this guy?
And he was like, hey, Debbie, what are you doing
this weekend? We should go to a naked adult resort together.
And then all of a sudden you realize, Oh, we're
more than friends.

Speaker 8 (12:12):
I guess, well, no, we were, you know, kind of
friends with benefits.

Speaker 9 (12:17):
Say you know, he's my fun friend.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Everybody needs a fun friend. Yeah, but thus of course
you're married or in a relationship. But anyway, Hey Debbie,
thank you. I have a great day too. One of
my favorite parts about doing this show is it doesn't
matter what we're talking about. I can, for the most
part's sake, call now and somebody can somebody can tell
us something about something, And it turns out we got
a bunch of freaky people out there listening to us.

(12:43):
It makes me wonder how much stuff our parents have
done that we don't know about that. I'm good unknowing,
Like Paulina, you know, I love Mama Marta deeply, but
I can see it. I can see a world where
Mama Marta may have gone to a place like this
and you never.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Knew about it, and she still might be you guys.

Speaker 11 (13:01):
She tells me all the time, I am living my
best life right now in my fifties, divorce like doing
my thing.

Speaker 12 (13:07):
You know.

Speaker 11 (13:07):
I got my little granddaughter, like she's really living her
best life.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
And she goes missing on weekends. You guys know that.

Speaker 11 (13:12):
Yeah, I don't know where she goes sometimes, so she
just might bee Marta, Ohio.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Do you think she has a boyfriend she won't tell
you about, And if she does, why wouldn't she tell you?

Speaker 13 (13:21):
So?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Marta?

Speaker 11 (13:22):
One thing about Marta that I knew before children, so
BC before kids or be yeah, before children. She used
to get it like that, like she had these men
running circles around her. That's what my aunt literally told me.
They're like, yeah, she was that girl obviously, so she
should be. So I feel like she's bringing that back.
So I don't think she would have a serious relationship
like a boyfriend, but she probably got a couple guys
in rotation, a couple of good morning texts.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Wow, she got a couple good morning texts. I wouldn't
be surprised.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
A twenty nine year old female is in morality Monday
in the arena today, she said, I was supposed to
get married last year, but my fiance and I ended
up breaking things off a few months before the wedding.
It was mutual, no drama, just a realization that we
weren't compatible long term. The thing is, I'd already bought
my wedding dress custom made. It cost me nearly four

(14:12):
thousand dollars. I know that's a lot. I paid for
it entirely myself, and it meant a lot to me.
After the breakup, I packed it up and put it
in storage. Haven't been ready to sell it or do
anything with it. It's emotional. And here's where it gets messy.
My younger sister, who is twenty four, so she's twenty nine.
Sister's twenty four, recently got engaged. We're not super closed,
kind of different people, and she's always been a bit entitled, honestly.

(14:35):
She came over a few weeks ago, saw the dress
when we were organizing my storage closet and asked if
she could have it for her wedding. I kind of
laughed and said, oh no, that's mine. She had annoyed
and said, but you're not even getting married. You're gonna
let that thing sit and rod in the box. I
told her again, no, it's personal to me, and even
though I'm not using it now, I'm not giving it away.
She asked if she could buy it at a discount,

(14:57):
and I said I wasn't ready to sell it, and
she threw up fit called me selfish and said that
I was being dramatic over just a dress. Our mom
is now involved and she thinks I should give it
to her as a gesture of sisterly love and because
it's going to go to waste. But I honestly feel
like she's only asking because she doesn't want to pay
for one herself, and she's not exactly struggling financially. So

(15:20):
now I have my sister and my mom acting like
I'm heartless and petty for not handing it over. But
it feels like a boundary that I want to keep
her dress. She didn't have to give a tame money,
end of story. Next anything else, I mean, it probably
is going to go to waste. I mean, not that
she's never going to get married, but if she does,
will she use that dress?

Speaker 11 (15:40):
Maybe she might or change her mind and pick something else,
but the dress.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
I assume you know, she had the vision of the dress.
The dress doesn't dependent on the person that she's marrying.
But when she was having this stress fitted and made
and everything, it was with the intensive marrying someone who
she's now not marrying. So is that the dress she's
gonna want to wear when she marries someone else some day.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
But it's her dress, she paid for it, it's her.
She doesn't have to give it to anyone.

Speaker 11 (16:05):
No, it could brott in the box all at once, Like, no,
you're not entitled to it.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
The sister is a.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Weirdo in my opinion, because out of all the dresses
in America or wherever they wherever they resign, you want
the dresses in my closet with my hurt, pain and
tears attached to you are weird.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Why don't you put me in that position exactly?

Speaker 2 (16:25):
Like you know that I intended to wear that dress
to get married to someone, and now it's like, well
I want it, so I should have it, And then
for the mom to get involved and be like, yeah,
she's weird too. Eight five Jason, I feel like you
would just give it to her. I mean that's because
that's you.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
She's entitled to it.

Speaker 7 (16:43):
But if someone, I mean if someone wanted anything from me,
I probably would just give it to them. So but like, yeah,
I don't think it's weird that she feels that she's
entitled to a dress, Like that's crazy wild.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Well, it's her dress, it's her style, it's her dress design,
so if she does get married someday, maybe she will
wear it because the dress is not necessarily attached to
the person. You know, it was her vision, I mean
attached to her, but not to the person she was marrying. Yeah, right, Like,
so while the memory is there, if she gets married
the next few years and the dress steel fits her
and looks, I mean that's you know you have the

(17:17):
way I understand it is that women typically, you guys,
have a vision for your wedding day that isn't necessarily
hinged to the person that you're marrying. Because you developed
this as like a child, right Like, as you grow
up and watch movies and go to other people's weddings
and stuff, you're like, oh, I want to wedd but
you don't even know who you're gonna marry yet Oftentimes
when you envision what it is that you want. Calyn's
had this this TP forest thing since she met anybody. Yeah,

(17:41):
she's dated several people since she had the TP forrest revelation.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Why do you have?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I mean it's fair, right, I mean I've known you
for almost ten years and you've dated many people, but
you've always had the forest TP wedding revelation yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
I mean, I I don't know if i'd do it anymore.
It feels like a little played out at this point.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
But because you and speaking too publicly about it. That's
the thing you've been telling everyone you want the Forest
Tpe wedding. Yeah, everyone's doing It's it's the reason why
you got to keep your dress locked up that you've
already had made.

Speaker 10 (18:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Oh yeah, because you wouldn't wan anyone to see it,
especially your sister.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah. No, she's not wearing that, you know, because I.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Know you have like a sort of a mixed concept
of whether you want to actually be married or not. Yeah,
So it's like, you know, you got to keep that
for yourself.

Speaker 14 (18:22):
I have.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Okay, let's say you did have a dress for some
reason from another previous relationship, and your sister came to
you and said, I want that. It was custom made
for you, it was your vision. You're going to give
it to her.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
No, I feel like a wedding I mean, there's not
a lot I wouldn't do for her, as you know,
but I feel like a wedding dress is so personal.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
First of all, she's.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Five to nine and I'm like barely five six, so
it would be cropped right.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
On her, like you know, her ankles would be out.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
But no, I think it's deeply personal, and I would
get very upset with people telling me, like how I
need to handle something that I paid for with my
own money, that I made to fit my body, like
it's weirdo energy like Keiki said.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
So, no, it's a no for me, dog. But I'll
go with you, like I'll help you.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
I mean, you'll move out of your house for six
months so she can go man, and you'll live on
the street. But as far as the wedding dress is
concerned my fashion, no, no, I mean it's oldest child syndrome.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I let me see this. What does that mean? I'm
the oldest child? What are they telling me? Oh? The
babies get everything literally and figuratively. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, I could see something like
this happening in my house too. But I wonder what
my mom would do. I don't know, fighting over dress, yeah,
I mean, I've had a custom made wedding dress for
many years. I've been thinking about, you know, just whenever
that time comes. I've had this vision and the vision
is not going to change. It's a beautiful dress.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
We would you do?

Speaker 12 (19:46):
Well?

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yeah, yeah, long train obviously right. White its whitest can be,
you know, because that's what I.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
I know what you're talking about. I've been to many.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
I've been the weddings and people that I slept with,
and they were wearing white.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Okay, okay, okay, they're walking down the aisle. I don't know.
You're not pure, missy. You can't try. But of course
I didn't say that out loud. I was tempted to.
I was tempted.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
She walked down the aisle with her fiance standing up there,
you know, husband to be, who doesn't know that we
hooked up.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I know, I know messed up, wouldn't it. Yes, Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't know if in my family that I would see.
My sister gets everything she wants, uh for the most part,
but I wouldn't say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess so.
But my mom's not. I think she likes me better,
so there's that.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
That's nice.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
But yeah, no, but my is my sister stuff because
it's for the kids. Like everything she's doing, let's be honest,
everything my mom loves my sister. But everything she's doing
these days is leverage to get in with the kids.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
That's what it is.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
And like, the more accents she gets, the more stuff
shows up on my sister's front door. The less action
she gets, the less stuff shows up on my sister's
front door.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
That's how it works. Lexi, Hi, Hi, how are you guys? Hey?

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Good morning, So morale Monday On a Wednesday, Big sister
has a custom wedding dress. Little sister saw it and said,
and when big Sister's not getting married anymore, Little sister
saw it and said, give me that, and she said no,
And now mom and little sister are mad about it.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
What do you think.

Speaker 15 (21:28):
I think the mom and sister are in the wrong
because the dress is a personal thing to somebody, Like
we just got married, not that long ago. I still
have my dress. I am thinking about doing something with it.
So yeah, she may not be using it now, but
there's a possibility maybe she wants to. I don't know,
who knows what she'll do with it.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
But it's still her dress, right, wouldn't she want your
own dress too, Like it's your day, your thing, Go
get your own dress, Chris, Stop being a weirdo.

Speaker 15 (21:53):
It's some special thing in the world to go and
do the dress shopping. You know it's awesome.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's right, LEXI gonna do it maybe two or three
times your whole life, so you know it's.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
I hope it's only once. Thank you, Lexy. You have
a good day, you too, think.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Sophia says two birds, one for the sister, one for
the mom. It's her dress. She paid four grand for it.
Her sister can pound sand another text, Yeah, absolutely not.
I hope she keeps it until she wants to use it.
The audacity of that person is wild. Sounds like her
sister is being dramatic. But I do wonder, like, how
many times have you given your friend or a family

(22:31):
member an idea or said something about something and then
they go do it. It's like, here's my idea for address,
I had it made, well, I want that. I mean,
have you ever had that where you gave you said, oh,
I want to name my first daughter Marie, or I
want to name my first dog Spot or whatever, and
then all of a sudden, here comes best friend with
Spot and wait a wait one minute, wait one, I

(22:53):
just told you that.

Speaker 11 (22:54):
Yeah, people get really mad about that, and I get it,
like I'd be frustrated too, if somebody's like, here's my
daughter Gigi after I just said I'm gonna name my
kid Gabrielle rgg.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
But like, I don't know.

Speaker 11 (23:03):
For me, it's like I don't get mad at that
kind of stuff as so much as the normal normal
person does. Like I have a friend who got a car,
and like another friend was like, oh, I want that car,
and then like the one got the car or something,
the other one got mad and I was just like,
but like you guys are like two different households, like
same car, respond.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Well, car and a baby.

Speaker 11 (23:18):
I feel like a baby named yeah, but like at
the same time, like one are the odds of me
like still communicating with a certain person like thirty years later,
Like I'm gonna have my daughter forever, but like what
if I'm no longer friends with you know, Jonathan, God forbid, Right,
we're not friends anymore?

Speaker 1 (23:30):
He has a daughter named gig two, Like I always
wanted to be a pet cruiser and then probably doing
this and now I can't have a pet cruiser anymore.
I'm so mad. I know, well he didn't stop copying.
I wanted was a pt cruise.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
All I wanted was a Mini Cooper and then one
day rowing up in her Mini Cooper and I'm like,
great now I can't have it.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
So real cute for someone else.

Speaker 16 (23:52):
It's good to see.

Speaker 1 (23:56):

Sure for some.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
It is the Fresh Show, Good morning, thanks for having
us on the radio, on the iHeart app live and
anytime search for the fresh show on demand. I would
agree with this, but your self proclaimed taste in music,
it's probably the quality of yourself that you're proudest of.
That's probably the thing about you that I hear the most.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Well, not necessarily taste, but yeah, around music, I like
to curate playlists for specific occasions.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, I mean we've given you the ox cord before
in the car, and I've been very impressed with your skills.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Thank you. I've told you this before, though I've communicated this.
This is nothing new.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
I knew my audience, so I believe cores the corese
Breathless was the first thing I.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Picked, and you were screaming.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Now that's just a deep cut and when that comes on,
it's just unbelievable that somebody else would.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, yeah, you me and Jason Moore screamsing. I don't
know where we were going or coming up.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yeah, I'm not old enough for this, but I Brady,
a colleague of ours, colleague, cohort rock friend. The other day,
it's Ray and he likes the yacht rock like he
likes like yacht rock like sixties seventies and I don't
mind it, but that's not my My wheelhouse is nineties pop,
ninety two thousands pop. And I think the reason is

(27:22):
is because that's what I grew up with. And I've
said this a million times. I think that whatever music
you like the most has some tie to your upbringing.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
I believe this.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Yeah, your mom played it, your dad played at, your
grandparents played it. Yes, you know, so for a lot
of people was you know, I grew up in the nineties,
so for a lot of people, it was like Beatles
and you know, sixties seventies music because that's what their
parents listened to and then as they were growing up
that stuff. And my parents didn't because my father was
in radio and contemporary radio, so like we listened to

(27:53):
pop music. So like whatever I listened to was whatever
was current at the time. I have like almost no
appreciation for what happened before nineteen eighty. I don't even know.
I really don't even know. Well, Motown because that's what
they grew up with.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
That was my dad.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
Yeah, Motown. It is amazing. I love listening to that
still do. And like in our house it was Whitney Houston.
It was Luther Vandros.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
It was you know, basically we were a black household
my mom. If you asked, my mom's musical taste would
be gospel, R and B. Honestly, like she she would
shock you with some of the things that she knows
and likes, Like she knows every Luther Vandros song. Ever,
we watched CNN documentary and she knew it all already. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(28:33):
we said, I don't know what he things going on?
A mom of Fred tell we're watching Luther Vandrose documentary.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, Nanna loved him too. He was like pretty universal.
I'm learning. I thought it was just like a my
nana undead thing. But there you go.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Like, if you go through our old record collection, it's
mostly M M, it's mostly R and B.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Heh, yeah, yeah, which is for everybody.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
But I don't know what if people thought we were
like at homeless soon led Zeppelin or something, I don't
know what.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
That's what I was listening to. There you go, So
I don't know, were you really Yeah, you grew up
with that kind of stuff, Zeppelin, the Beatles? You know,
are you being funny just because you have the Schurch
on target? Are you being serious, absolutely being funny.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Okay, she like almost didn't land the plane on Zeppelin.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
I was like, all right, I'm gonna let her get
this lie off because.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
You're like you trying to tell me we grew up
in the opposite house. I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
The seventies were great, though. I'm sad for you seventies rock.
It's not that I don't tickets. I just don't.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
It doesn't resonate with me, like it just it was
kind of like a missed decade.

Speaker 11 (29:31):
Yeah, my stepdad was big on the like all rock
and stuff, and then my mom it was like, I
don't know what I would call this. I call euro music.
It's really not because like we all know it. But
it's like the well, the Aqua man.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
What's his name Aquaman?

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Right, Yeah, like the Barbie girl guy, like just not mad,
he is a man.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
But like that was like that era.

Speaker 11 (29:52):
Of like disco tech on music I called nineties club music.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah yeah, you had like you had aqua yeah yeah.

Speaker 11 (30:01):
God yeah real McCoy that was our hot Robin unlimited.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah you had Robin and Robin asked, yes, they both
were there.

Speaker 11 (30:09):
But yeah, house music's outside like that's I want my
daughter to grow up listening to that.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Like Stevie b. That was earlier though, that was that
was pre Awqua, that was Yeah, that's like what eighties right,
my girl Susie Oh yeah.

Speaker 11 (30:22):
Oh she's my girl Cindy Okay, right right, that's justin.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
But I do think it's a great quality in somebody
if they have good taste in music. But the problem
is it has to be you know, it's hard to
be objective when it comes to good taste in music
because you you may have great taste in seventies music,
and that's just not exactly my thing. You know, you
may love disco music and be able to curate a
hell of a disco playlist. You might know the beg's
back and I don't know, but I don't, so I don't.
I don't know what you say is your actual wheelhouse.

(30:55):
Like I realized you. You know, you're the double duty qute.
So you over here on the pop station, you over
there on the hip hop station. I mean, you could
do it all. I've I've heard you on ESPN Deportees.
It's incredible. Your coverage in Spanish of Football Americano is unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
I mean, it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
I don't know why you don't speak up when we
talk about the NFL on the show because in Spanish,
I mean, you're calling coward over here.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
No I try, Yeah, I try, But what.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Is your actual wheelhouse? Like, what way if you had
to like focus in on what you really want to
listen to?

Speaker 4 (31:25):
My favorite era of music is probably nineties R and
b okay, oh so like one twelve Yeah, also early
two thousands pop though, because like that was that was
a time vertical horizon.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Are you like a are you like a like a
white people pop?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Or I don't mean, I don't mean to make this.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
I'm not trying to make this racil, but everybody knows
exactly what I'm talking about during that era, because you
had like, uh, you had like Three Doors Down and
Third Eye Blind and Semisonic, and you had like these
bands that were very clearly.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
A bunch of white kids. And then but then you
also want to this is the.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Exact same time you had like Keith Sweat, and you
had and Jojo Casey and Jojo, and you had one
twelve and you had you know, obviously Biggie and Yeah too.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Nineties R and B hip hop. That's that's it.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Well in the city, Like, I'm at a point in
my life 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 duncan, that's not open. If
if we're finding ourselves in a position where the public
bathroom is going to be a mandatory experience, then I

(32:37):
probably am not leaving the house.

Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's where I'm at in my life. I thought that role.
I'd never be here.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Fred's show is fud And finally, I just want to
I want to wish a speedy recovery. Right I'm scared, No,
I mean, I mean this is a speedy recovery to
a god named Matt Bar from London. Now Matt Bar
you may know his name, you may not, but he
is officially the guy who has the world's largest man

(33:02):
part fourteen point five inches and apparently there's hazards. This
is a real quote. Okay, this is an actual quote.
Matt says that he recently slipped in his shower because,
in his words, it's not.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Easy to see my feet. Oh what I don't have
that problem. I can see him very clearly. Why do
you need to see your feet and not slip?

Speaker 2 (33:26):
So the fall left him with two fractures in his shoulder.

Speaker 7 (33:31):
Oh it sounds like he's just clumsy, but one of
the flex right, that's.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Right again. I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Over another black eye and control this thing. This is
a real story today. The fall left him with two
fractures in his shoulder. He's now taking it slow, using
a bath matt and rethinking vacations. Apparently public pools and
board shorts could be triggy as well.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
I can't believe this is a real news story.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Ever been left waiting by the phone?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
It's the Fred Show. Christian, good morning, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 5 (34:12):
Hi, good morning, how are you very well?

Speaker 2 (34:14):
We call this waiting by the phone, of course, trying
to figure out if you got ghosted?

Speaker 1 (34:19):
What happened?

Speaker 2 (34:19):
Why don't you explain how you met Ellen and about
any dates that you've been on and what's happening right now?

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Yeah? Of course, So I actually met Ellen on Bumble,
you know the dating.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
App and.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Familiar with the Bumble. Yeah it's been okay, cool time
or two? Yeah, okay, yeah, so you met her there, So.

Speaker 5 (34:40):
So I met her on there, asked her out to
grab drinks at one of the like this speakeasy nearby
my plate, and I love that it's got like good atmosphere.
But they have these wild cocktails and you end up
having too and you end up getting pretty loaded. So
we were defunk by the end of the night, and
we walked back over to my place and you know,
get into the do what do an adults too? I

(35:02):
don't know that's how explicit I can be with you,
but I think feel free to use your imagination, all right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
Think everybody knows what you're talking about, so that that
happened exactly.

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Yeah, So I just want to get that at better.

Speaker 13 (35:15):
Right, So she.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
And he, uh, you know, she starts ghosting me. I
thought we had a good night, you know, and now
it stuck wondering if she only hooked up with me
because she was drunk, And I would really hate for
that to be the case, because I actually liked her.
I had a good time with her. The conversation was
easy flow, and she's very attractive, and you know, I
kind of felt this this romantic connection, a bit of
chemistry and you know if it wasn't she didn't feel
the same way, wasn't reciprocated it was fine. I just

(35:39):
you know, I want I don't.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
I want to know.

Speaker 13 (35:40):
I just don't want to get going.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
I mean, sometimes male female, whatever. Maybe I don't know
if it matters the gender. Sometimes when people drink too
much and then things happened, it's like, well, did I
Is this how I wanted things to start? Did I
give off the right impression? Some people have anxiety where
they're you know, they're hungover, and like, ah, I can't
believe I did that. I know that's happened to me.

(36:01):
So it's possible that she just kind of thought maybe
it was fun but not necessarily the way she wanted
to start the relationship. But I suppose that's a conversation
you could have unless you wanted to just disappear, which
is maybe what she's doing.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
You're exactly right, I want to have that conversation, I think, Bata.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Let me know.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
You know, I'm man enough to take that kind of rejection,
but it's unusual for me to not even get to
follow up and be like, hey, do you want to
try this again?

Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, Or you could look at it as Wow, we
really hit it off. The chemistry was great, Like, why
don't we keep going in this direction? So let me
call Ellen. You'll be on the phone. I want to
see if we can get her on the line and
ask some questions to figure out what's going on. At
some point, you're welcome to jump in on the call
and hopefully we can straighten this out and set you
guys up on another day that we pay for.

Speaker 5 (36:42):
Okay, So right, this is the part where I get
to be like sneaky and I don't say.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Anything right right, right, because you've obviously heard this before,
so just follow my lead on this, man, Let's see
what happens. Yeah, I'm going to play one song. We'll
come back and do it. Okay, Hey, Christian, Yeah, all right,
let's call Ellen. You guys met on Bumble. You went out.
You thought there was a lot of chemistry, had a
great date. I wanted poking up, except you've reached out
since that date trying to set up date number two,

(37:08):
and she's not responding to you at all.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
Exactly exactly. We had a good time. We had a
good time, and I'm looking forward to the day two.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
You just at least you want to know you know
why she's not calling or if something happened or whatever.
So let's call her now. Good luck Christian hiasus Ellen, Yeah, Ellen, Hey,

(37:36):
good morning friend from the Fred Show. The whole crew
is here. I have to tell you that we are
on the radio right now, and I would you, I
would thank you. Woh my god. I don't know if
that's a compliment. I don't know if that was an
oh my god, like I love the show, and notice
I just say thank you right away, like that's what
that meant. I love the show, genuinely surprised. Okay, well
then you know the rest of the deal. So you're
on waiting by the phone right now. A guy named

(37:59):
Christian reached out to us so that you guys met
on bumble and went out.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
Do you remember this guy? Yeah? You do?

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Okay, So he had called us, and if you listen
to the show before, then you know why he called.
He wants to know why you aren't calling him back.
He described to us what he thought was a very
successful date. He did mention that you guys got intimate,
and it's like, why did all that happen if you
weren't interested?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
So what's your side of the story. Well, I would.

Speaker 18 (38:25):
Bet that he didn't actually tell you the whole story. Yeah,
we went up for drinks and then we like had
to sleep over, right, and I don't know whatever, Like
I would have hooked up with him even if we
hadn't had drinks, just because like I.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Don't know, the chemistry was there.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Maybe we weren't, like because he was worried about that.
He was like, well maybe it was. Maybe this whole
thing is because everybody had too much to drink and
now people are regretting things. But you're saying that's not
the reason you're not calling him.

Speaker 18 (38:51):
Well, well, I mean, like I would have hooked up
with him either way, but because of the drinking, we
weren't like as space as probably should have been.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
Okay, we'll leave it at that, Okay, yep.

Speaker 18 (39:08):
And then in the morning he asked me if I
was on birth control and I was like no. So
we were like, okay, you know, we decided together we
should go get a plan B and I like need
to go buy it, and he just keeps like blowing
out my phone, demanding that I send him a video
of me opening the package and putting the till in

(39:29):
my mouth and swallowing.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
It to make sure you get it.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yes, I wasn't convinced exactly that you going to buy
it meant that you were going to utilize the product.
So he needed proof that you were going.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
To do it.

Speaker 19 (39:41):
Oh and he needed like the date somewhere shown in
the video, completely insulting. He didn't trust me, and he
thinks that he's so great that I would like want
to have his baby.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
What is wrong?

Speaker 2 (39:54):
So you know, the Christians here, Christian what's your side
of the story. I mean, for you guys, just to
make that decision and to let you know, let her
say what she said she was going to do, or
do what she said.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
She was going to do.

Speaker 5 (40:06):
Yeah, no, no, no, I just kind of what I
wanted to cut you off because you're really like putting
all of all of my business out there.

Speaker 13 (40:12):
Okay, So just like oh and you.

Speaker 18 (40:14):
When you called the radio.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Station, Yeah, I mean, what did you say? What?

Speaker 10 (40:18):
I mean?

Speaker 2 (40:19):
You knew you're the story. You're on the radio now.
Of course she's gonna put your business.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
But I didn't think that this.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
I didn't think that she would go on And we
were talking about the night before, not the morning after.
I didn't think anything, not just asking you for a
little bit of a lot. No, it's after the date, Ellen,
and I just wanted to know if, like you wanted
to go out again.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
But here you are accusing me.

Speaker 5 (40:42):
Of like some sort of like phone harassment, Like I
just I don't know. I just I wanted to call
you to see if you want to go out again.
And the whole thing that happened like after the day again,
after the date. Okay, well that's.

Speaker 1 (40:56):
Great, I guess.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Okay, so you guys don't know each other and Saul
goes down, and I mean, you haven't developed any form
of trust. You don't probably even know each other's last
names or middle names or whatever. And that's okay. Things happen,
But it wasn't good enough, Christian for you and Ellen
to just decide that you were going to take this
path to be extra safe.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
After the fact that.

Speaker 18 (41:19):
I also was like, hell, yeah, we need to get
something done about this.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Yeah, but great, I also need to protect myself. So
I'm just asking for a seat.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Listen to Ellen.

Speaker 5 (41:28):
All I'm saying is that I think my request is
well within my rights. I've told you that my family
has a lot of money, and I have to go
to like extra link. I don't want to be taking
advantage of that come up.

Speaker 2 (41:39):
How does that come up on the day I'm extremely rich.
I mean, once you do that, I can see why
you're paranoid. Now, if you're telling everybody how rich you are,
I'm not telling everybody.

Speaker 10 (41:48):
I'm not trying to procreate with a douche like you.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Amen, Gret.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
You both made this decision, but you're out here willing,
really knowing that, feeling as though you could be exposed
at any time, but not taking any precaution.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
Not that night, no, which is why I'm trying to
do the next.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Morning again, not part of the day. We're past the day.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
We're into the next phase of whatever this was going
to be.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
And so for you, Ellen, that's too much in a word, yes,
because of that and because of a lack of trust,
and you just thought the whole thing was not cool.
So you're never going to talk to him again. I
mean the video was a little much, but I guess
I can see I mean, can you guys see the
paranoia Maybe that there was no follow up. I mean,
it's kind of the decision that you make when you

(42:32):
were grown up, and you put yourself in that position
that like you relinquish a little bit of power by
not being thoughtful.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Yeah, he made that decision, though I don't think he
can demand that. Yeah, I don't know about the video
and the rest of it. You're doing too much.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yeah, you know you made the mistake and you're gonna
have to just trust.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
But so did she. If you want to call it
in the control, I mean devil's advocate. You know, there's
no basis for him to believe what she's saying. So,
I mean, I'm not saying I agree with him.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
I think he really wants to be one hundred percent
sure that he doesn't have a baby, then he shouldn't
do that.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
Well, I agree with that. I agree with that. So
it's not on him anymore, Like it's not in his control. Okay.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
So basically, she didn't like the approach, thought it was insensitive,
thought it was uncool and Christian.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
That's why she's not calling and there's not going to
be a second date. Thank thanks for having us on
the radio, on the iHeart app Live and anytime search
for a Fred show on demand. I wanted to bring
this up because my mom listens to the show every day,
and like, I wish I could see the look on
my parents' face when I do this story.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
I wish I could.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
I want your genuine reaction, especially if your I don't know,
twenty thirties, forties, you grew up with siblings.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
I know Kaitlin did Caitlyn.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
You practically were a second mom because of the age
difference twelve years thirteen thirteen years difference between you and Bella,
your sister.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
She's younger.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
A TikToker known as Shira is making waves with her
bold stance. Why do I believe that she might be
in her early twenties. I've never seen this woman. I
hate to say this, this is a generational take, but
parents are going to shiver or older siblings her bold stance.
Parents shouldn't make their kids babysit younger siblings without consent

(44:07):
and compensation.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yeah, I mean you were a big sister too.

Speaker 2 (44:12):
Can you imagine, Paulina if Mama Marta had been like, Hey,
I'm heading out tonight with my my cigarettes and Virginia.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah Salem.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
I was gonna say Virginia slims, But Salem flin are
going out with the girls tonight. You gotta watch your sister.
And you were like, First of all, I didn't consent
to that. Second and second of all, what will my
compensation package looks like? Can you imagine now? Look like
my My parents are very smart. My parents are very smart.
I have my sister seven and a half years younger,
and they were not They were no dummy.

Speaker 12 (44:43):
You know.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
On my birthday they were They were extremely generous. They
gave me a brand new car on my birthday. They
gave me a brand new car. Was so I couldn't
believe it, Like I was convinced that I wasn't getting
a car. I was convinced that their deal was, you
got two years to make money in the summer and
whatever amount of money you can make, we'll we'll match
that and you can buy a car with it.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
Well, I didn't make it that.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
I didn't make that much money, so I wouldn't be
I didn't think I was getting a car.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
I got a car.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
Boom Immediately, here are the keys. Oh my god, yay, congratulations,
take your sister to dance. Go get me some at
the store. Hey, go go pick up so and so
and so and so at the airport. Hey, you do
very smart. It was what an investment in the quality
of life of their own quality of life? Yeah, extremely generous.
I'm extremely grateful. I will do the exact same thing

(45:29):
if I ever have a kid. It'll be like, oh sweet,
and this is before uber and everything. Hey, go pick
up the Chinese food or whatever. And for a little
while you're like, oh cool, I get to drive, Like
I get to drive, And after a while you're like,
I don't want to go to dance practice again. But
if I had told my parents, like, what's in it
for me? You know, well, what are you to pay
me for that? We'll be like, I don't know. How

(45:51):
about the air you're breathing? How about you know what
you're wearing right now? How about that car? How about
the how about how about eating? Sustenance?

Speaker 1 (46:02):
Education? How about love?

Speaker 2 (46:04):
Can you imagine, Caitlin, if you had been like, well,
you know, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
First of all, I didn't agree to that, and.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Second, oh my god, can you imagine telling your parents
I don't consent to.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
That absolutely, And I had enough forethought to go like,
I mean yes, sometimes it was frustrating because I was like, fully,
like we had like a drop off pickup schedule. I
was getting her from school, like I always had a
car seat in my backseat.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
I looked like a teen mom in high school.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
But I just I had enough forethought to go, okay, like,
my parents have given me so much, Like the least
I can do is like help them out.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I know that as a kid, I was not grateful
enough because I didn't have I didn't have the perspective
to realize like how hard it was for them to
provide the things they did. And I also was around
kids who had as much or more than me, so
it wasn't I had no example of how it could
look and in retrospect, like, I'm just so grateful for
all the things that they did. But I even then,

(47:01):
even as a little snap nosed, little entitled kid, I
knew better than to ask my parents to compensate me.
Can you imagine if you told her, like, here's your
your older sister takes you in when your mom passes away,
and then and then she's already got kids and there
are all these kids, and so can you imagine if
Helena had been like, hey, I need you to do this,

(47:21):
Makeitha and you're like, well, well right, and I said that.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
No, I would never do that for Helena.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
But because I had a friend who was really like
a second mom to all of her siblings, and like
we would have parties to go to the skating rink
and I would be like, are you on duty tonight?

Speaker 1 (47:41):
Like can you come out? You know, like I got
to watch the kids.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
And I'm like, your mom had all those kids, that's
not your responsibility. So some parents, they really do put
a lot of responsibility on the oldest.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah, the oldest sibling, y'all are the strongest soldiers for real.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
No, it's say it's like you need to be an
older sibling.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
I think in a lot of ways, but it's we
don't choose it, and that's okay, you know, but yeah,
some parents do take advantage of it. I mean we
had bell I would throw parties in the basement and
Bella would be down there with her bottle getting passed
around by like right, just you know, I mean.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
That's what we would do.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
We would just go to my friend's house and babysit
at her house and we would all hang out.

Speaker 1 (48:19):
But we were you know, I'm out here.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
If you're treating the oldest sibling like a nanny, that's
one thing. But if you're just being asked to help
out around the house because that's what family does, and
you're over here going m yeah. In her viral video,
she emphasizes that children are not free labor and should
not be assigned adult responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, or babysitting
without agreement.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
What are you talking about? Where are you going to live? Right, ma'am?

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Like what are you how exactly are you expected to survive?

Speaker 13 (48:52):
Like?

Speaker 2 (48:52):
Your parents are also not I mean, while I think
a lot of parents probably feel like it, they're not
like your servants, right, Like you still have to be
a functioning member of a family, of a unit, like
if your parents expect you to keep your stuff in
order or they you know. I remember my parents used
to be like, your only job is to go to
school and get good grades. That's the only thing you
have to do. I can do it, man, right, It's

(49:15):
like that's it. And I remember the time I thought
it was such such an undertaking. My dad used to
say to me almost every night, man, what I wouldn't
give to go back to school?

Speaker 1 (49:26):
And I'm like, yeah, you and your stupid line. That's dumb.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
That's dumb. I want out of here, I want out
of this prison. And you know what, what I wouldn't
give to go back to school and learn more stuff. Seriously,
the freedom, honey. I think the difference is I would
I would choose what I wanted to learn and it
would be on my terms as opposed to what they
make you learn and at the time. But again, you know,
youth is wasted on a young perspective. But my god,
if I'd say, yeah, I don't know about them, okay,

(49:51):
well then dinner will be seventeen dollars, then I mean
they can flip it on you too. Yes, they chose
to have you, but I don't think that means that
you don't have any obligation to be a part of
a unit, right.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Right, Yeah, don't take advantage.

Speaker 11 (50:05):
No, my mom would send me back to Poland, like
with a one weight ticket back like I'm from there,
but she would send me there with my grandma. She's
threaten me before when I was a kid many of times,
like when I didn't want to help out around the
house or with my sibling or whatever.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Like we're four years apart, not that much of a difference,
but I was older, you would have to build the
house that.

Speaker 11 (50:20):
You were I farm, literally, my mom came from a
farm with nothing.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
She would clap in a hole like she did, like,
I need milk for my cereal, Well then go milk.

Speaker 11 (50:31):
It's every morning, yes exactly. She climbed mountains to get
to school.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
I heard all about it both ways uphill, which was crazy.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I had no idea that geography in Poland was that way.
Everything is uphill all the time, all the time.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
Hour walk. I'm like, oh my god, I.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
Just cannot imagine. I cannot imagine responding like that. My
dad would, my my mom really would have whooped me.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
Where do they think this like code of conduct that
they're like aligning two comes from, because you're you're under
your parents house, your parents rules.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Like, where do you think your rights are coming from?
You have no rights? Yeah, I don't know your child.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Of course, the huge discussions now on her post about
the balance between family responsibilities and children's rights. Some argue
that helping out is a part of growing up. Others
believe that imposing such duties without consent can lead to
resentment and hinder personal development. In some ways, I think
it developed me, you know, and there was even stuff
that they would they would have me do and pay

(51:27):
me for that I probably should have just done. But
I also had no means of making money. And I think,
you know, before a certain age when you can't.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Get a job. The very day I could get a job,
I got a job.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
But I feel like, you know, mowing the law and
they get me, which they claim I never did.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
It's outrageous.

Speaker 2 (51:43):
They argue up and down, you never ever did that,
and I'm like, no, no, I did that for years.
It's so crazy. I'm like, where do you think I
made that up? Like I remember the hiking boots I
wore to mow the law, and I remember I remember,
you know, if the sprin coursh had gone off, I
couldn't anyway, don't get me started on this trauma.

Speaker 3 (52:03):
Parents don't like if you say anything happened other than
like amazingness, They're like, Noah, that.

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Is son like that. I'm not even mad about it.
I'm not mad. Y.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
I tell the joke all the time that now that
I have grown up money, I want to buy a
riding lawnmower because they wouldn't let me have one, and
I want to just ride it around my parking rige
because I can have it if I want it. Yeah,
big album Home Depot will hook me up with a discount.
Even it's amazing, But my mom calls me, you never
mowed the lawn, like what are you talking about? Anyway,
But they would pay me, like I think whatever. They'd
pay me twenty dollars to do that. And the reason

(52:33):
they would I probably shouldn't have. They probably shouldn't have
paid me twenty dollars. They probably should have done it
because well, thanks for the you know, education and food
and you know everything else. But I think, you know,
when you're thirteen years old you want basketball cards all
the time. It's like, all right, we'll go do something
and we'll give you the money, you know. And I
think it was like teaching you about work and being
paid and saving you can, you know dot you know,

(52:54):
by this much now or that much later or whatever.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
But even that, they didn't have to do that if
they didn't want too.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
I'm just telling people for the next twenty years, I
went to Juilliard, only to be discovered and uncovered and
revealed as a liar.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
He's looking at Juilliard. Who's Julie? Julie did Julie Julie's Yard.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Julie Fred's show is on im to judge a person
on what you believe the rules to be. And who know, like,
there are real rules and we have to be on
the same page with what they are.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Because otherwise it's no fun to play. Right at the game,
lets you do it. That means that's a real rule,
right right.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
But I think some people think that certain things are
like that you can stack if you're playing one on one.
I think people think that you could stack a whole
bunch of these, like reverse plus two and then just
and then just like a barrage, just boom boom boom,
and then it doesn't work that way. There are like
certain cards that you like if I put it draw
two down, then you draw too, and then I think

(53:54):
you go. But I think people think that that's drawing
is your I don't know what. I don't know off
the top of my head what these rules are. To
look at them again, But there are certain rules that
I think I always thought to be true, and they're not.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
Order us a fresh show. It's Kiki's Court, all right.
The honorable Kikilik is here. Judge Kiki down.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
Take it away. You guys are at jury, by the way,
eight five five five. I want to hear your thoughts
after we hear the case.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
I need them today because I'm torn. Let's get into
this courtroom. It says, am I wrong for reporting my
coworker for stealing food. I work at a mid sized
tech company with a decent cafeteria. Nothing fancy sandwiches, snacks, coffee,
but it's all paid for by our company. Well a
month ago I started noticing food was going rather quickly

(54:42):
from our kitchen. Snacks will be put out at eight
am and completely gone before noon. It became a running
joke in the office. We called it the lunch room
bandit striking again. People were getting annoyed. Some brought it
up in meetings. HR sent the friendly reminder email, and
cameras were quietly installed near the break room, and we.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Were told it was just for safety reasons. Well two weeks.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
Later I walk into the kitchen and catch my coworker
mid swipe, taking a handful of sandwiches and chips, slipping
it into his backpack.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
I was shocked. He saw me.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
He froze, and then he muttered, it's not what it
looks like. I still decided to report it okay. Later
that day he was quietly escorted out by HR. However,
the next morning, I get an anonymous email with the
subject with no subject line, just a link. So I
clicked the link and it was a go fundme page. Well,

(55:37):
apparently my coworker had secretly been raising his thirteen year
old niece and sixteen year old nephew alone for the
last year after his sister died in a car accident.
According to this GoFundMe, she died with no insurance and
no help for the kids, leaving my coworker behind on rent,
barely affording groceries, and sleeping on a couch so that
his niece and nephew can have a bedroom. No one

(55:59):
at work knew about this. He never told us that
he was going through all of this. Well, the GoFundMe
said he didn't want to burden anyone and asking for
help by asking for help, so he tried to handle
it all by himself, and now because of me, he's unemployed.
Now my co workers are split. Some say I was
right to report him stealing and stealing. Others say I

(56:20):
destroyed a man who was trying to feed some kids.
Hr said, hey, their hands are tied. Once it was
caught on video, and honestly, I don't know if I
would have done anything different, but I feel like garbage.

Speaker 1 (56:32):
Was I wrong? Man? Who? Wow?

Speaker 2 (56:36):
He's five.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
You guys are the jury, but you're the judge, judge, Kicky,
what say you?

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (56:41):
I lost sleep over this one over the weekend because
I'm for.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
Real, for real torn because on one hand, I'm sometimes
we need to mind our business, like sometimes we needed
they put cameras there to be the police.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
Why did you share and feel the need to go
be the police?

Speaker 9 (56:57):
Right?

Speaker 1 (56:57):
You know, you know what you did. You didn't pay
for this if it's not your stuff.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
I mean, yeah, it sucks that it's a perk that's
not available to you because it's all gone. But at
the same time, like who are you to complain about?
I mean, you know, But then it's like, I.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Mean you are still like it's so sad because now
this man has no job and he's trying to take
care of these two kids who have lost their mother.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Okay, it's Sharon.

Speaker 4 (57:21):
You didn't, oh god, but Sharon thought she was doing
the right thing at the time. So it's like, what
do you do if you see your cowork is still
it from work. I mean people steal paper, you know.

Speaker 14 (57:30):
PM.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
I'm not saying a word, no, no, I'm staying out
of it unless you're doing something that's like.

Speaker 1 (57:37):
Harmful to others, something gay, right.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
Yeah, like I don't know if you're selling company secrets
or something. I mean something that could affect the bottom line.
That could mean that a bunch of people, you know,
lose their jobs, or that the company closes or something.
Something work, something's like really nefarious. I'm stealing sandwiches at work, yeah,
I mean yeah.

Speaker 4 (57:59):
But you go every time you go to the breakroom,
it's completely empty.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
There's not a snack.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Well, that's just because they don't put anything there anymore.
That's right, go there right now. That's because they cut
a bunchet. You don't get to have nice things anymore.
That's why that is.

Speaker 4 (58:14):
But it's like she feels as if she lost this
man his job. But then on the other hand, he
kind of lost the job himself because he was stealing.

Speaker 11 (58:23):
May I ask, though, are these like free snacks or
is this like you gotta pay in the jar?

Speaker 1 (58:27):
Like, what's the deal with the snacks? It's all paid
for by the company, so it's free snacks, so.

Speaker 11 (58:31):
He can't just say, oh, I wanted to eat these
doritos at home with my sandwich.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Like sometimes I all got to here.

Speaker 11 (58:36):
With the breakroom snacks because I'm going to my car,
but I still want to eat my funions.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
I'm just really confused.

Speaker 11 (58:41):
So, yeah, why you're such a company girl that you
felt you felt the need to be the police of
the chips and the whatever, the crackers, whatever the sandwich is,
and now you.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Kind of blew up this guy's life. Yeah, and those
poor children.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
I mean, if a company cared enough to look into
it to catch him, I guess that's one thing. But
as a coworker, I get that the stealing is wrong,
but it's also like, why are you such a busybody?
Like this was a perk, This wasn't owed to you, right,
and now this person's got much bigger problems when you
could have just minded your own business.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
It's so sad.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
I think you got to Hey, Brittany, I'm with you.
You got to mind your own business, right, Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
So I get it, but like, yeah, it calls.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
Zero dollars and takes zero minutes to mind your own
essing business.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Like it's not that.

Speaker 10 (59:31):
It's never that serious, I promise you.

Speaker 9 (59:34):
Like you said, if he was like packing information and
you know, releasing like stuff like that, I get it.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
Well I'm somebody.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
Yeah, yeah, I just I think, yeah.

Speaker 15 (59:48):
You got to feed these kids.

Speaker 10 (59:50):
And well, one thing I always say is you never
know what people.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Are going through.

Speaker 10 (59:53):
Yes, so like if it is that serious that he's
doing it, you never know.

Speaker 8 (59:59):
So now we should feel like absolute.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
Yeah we have Brittany, thank you, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Someone tells you this is tough.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
The company who failed the guy, well, I mean, I
also don't know if the company failed the guy because
they may not have known the context either. They're just
looking at it, like why are you taking all of
the things that we're putting on for everybody? Right, I'm
not sure if that's a determinable offense. But we also
don't know anything else, Like it was just dude on
a performance thing was like you know, who knows if
this was the only reason why, Like we never tend

(01:00:31):
to have the whole story.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Was he worn before or something? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:34):
Right, like when people get let go, you know, we
oftentimes don't know everything that was involved that being said,
if this was the final straw and it her busybody,
as is the one that you know, like I just say,
out of it, man, Hey, Johnny.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Hey, how you doing for it?

Speaker 14 (01:00:49):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (01:00:49):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
Hey, good morning. So you say they should have fired
this guy, My thing is is okay.

Speaker 12 (01:00:55):
So I'm part of a family business, okay, And if
we have employees stealing from their company, right, it wouldn't
make the company look good. Small theft, big theft, It
doesn't matter how you look at it. If they were
smart enough and they would have come forward, I guarantee
you somebody in that in that office would have helped
them and would have offered groceries, would have done something

(01:01:15):
better than him stealing from a company that he worked for.

Speaker 11 (01:01:19):
Yeah, but it's not always like that. People don't want
to put their business out there too.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Yeah, I mean right, like maybe he can. But there's
right and wrong. You know, there's right and wrong, and.

Speaker 12 (01:01:27):
There's they're stealing. No matter how you look at it,
stealing is stealing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:30):
Stealing is a crime is a crime.

Speaker 11 (01:01:32):
But I don't know, I feel like this lady writing
in probably wants to take away free lunches for kids too.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
It's cool. I like somebody.

Speaker 12 (01:01:39):
I get both sides of it. I do understand both
sides of it, but you have to realize, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
I'm also raising two boys.

Speaker 12 (01:01:45):
How would I want my boys to act what I
want my boys to steal? Or would I want my
boys to report somebody's stealing so that that way they're
they're in the right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, Johnny, thank you man,
have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
I guess well a number of text years saying like
if she cared that much, why didn't she just go
to him? You know, why didn't she just go to
him like hey, look like I see you taking all
this stuff, like you know, I don't get to eat
it because you got it all on your bag or whatever,
Like what's up with that? And maybe he would have explained,
and then maybe she could have helped come up with
a better solution for him. Then again, it's also not

(01:02:17):
her responsibility to come up with a solution, but maybe
she could have been like, wow, okay, well I understand,
like there, let's come up with some other resources or something,
because if you do get caught, you might get fired.

Speaker 4 (01:02:29):
Right now, she did catch him red handed in the kitchen,
and he said it's not what it looks like that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
But it wasn't that's all he said. Though she still
report it, So why wasn't there a conversation there, like
who just says that? And then another.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Interesting point is is it stealing if it's free? Oh yeah,
I mean it was only free to you. It wasn't
free to the company, and it was a company benefit
intended for everybody to have.

Speaker 13 (01:03:01):
Sure, so.

Speaker 2 (01:03:03):
It is stealing because someone paid for it, you know,
and this whole thing with like and then there are
people going to never side with the multi billion dollar company.
It's like, well, I mean, the multi billion dollar company
is still paying your bills. You still work there, they
still bought the sandwiches, they're still providing the work environment.

Speaker 1 (01:03:20):
Like, don't I don't understand that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:22):
It's like, well, we don't like the billion dollar company, Well,
the billion dollar company is paying our bills, so I
don't have to like everything they do. But I don't
own the billion dollar company, so I don't get to
tell them how to do things.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
I can choose to walk away.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
I can choose to get a job somewhere else in
another multi billion dollar company.

Speaker 1 (01:03:36):
That happens every day. But you know, it's like, sorry,
but this is I mean, we live in a hierarchy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
Guys like there's always going to be an owner of
the business and they're always going to be employees, and
some of us don't get to be the owner.

Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Sorry, hey Emily, Hey hi Emily.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
So just to recap here, he's basically a dude was
stealing free lunch from work, but they were providing for
the employees. It turned out that he may have been
stealing it was more than likely stealing it because he
was raising two kids at home that weren't he is
and that he had nothing to do with. But he
didn't have any money and was trying to make it work,
but he wanted getting fired.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
Nonetheless, what do you think?

Speaker 14 (01:04:15):
Okay, so two things like one, so my company gave
the snacks and lunch and stuff too, and I have
I openly admits my coworkers that I shake, you know,
steal extras and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
But it's mostly because they were going.

Speaker 14 (01:04:28):
To expire and we have like a plusor us, so
opposite situation of we are not running low by any means,
but you know.

Speaker 12 (01:04:35):
Just.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
Inventory.

Speaker 14 (01:04:40):
Well, I mean I'm not being wasteful, right, I actually
saved in the company money.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
Right, yeah, oh wait, how are you?

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
How are you saving the company money? I'd like to
hear more about that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
I was just getting thrown away.

Speaker 14 (01:04:53):
I'm using I'm using their money they've already spent.

Speaker 2 (01:04:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, Well fair enough, Emily.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
I like how Emily thinks.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
See here we go in the text, peop are going, well,
this is billion dollar company is not paying a livable wage.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
We don't know that. We don't know any of this.
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:05:09):
Maybe they're not maybe they're not paying enough of a
wage for him to support two kids. But he didn't
know he was going to have to. I don't I
don't know. There's a lot we don't know here. You
can't exactly just take, you can't exactly steal, you know,
And it sucks that this dude has an extenuating circumstance.
But you also, I guess I don't know why our

(01:05:30):
fellow employees are ratting each other out either, Like I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
I guess I would just.

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Look the other way and be like, if you really
feel the need to take that many sandwiches home, there
might my brain would go to there might be something
going on, like my brain would would go.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
I mean, I guess it's one of two things.

Speaker 2 (01:05:44):
You're either that greedy and that didn't consider it, or
you're taking the food because you need the food and
and and that to me would that's I guess I
don't know the answer, so I would stay out of it, right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
What what's like the policy though?

Speaker 11 (01:05:58):
Like, don't companies have pies where it's like some sign
that says one.

Speaker 1 (01:06:02):
Per person, don't take it out of the breakroom. Don't
don't have that here? No, but we used to have,
you know, like a break room full of chips. They
didn't say anything.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
I mean, and you know what, they were people here
that would probably take eight chips, And there are people
here that didn't take any. That's just kind of how
it goes.

Speaker 11 (01:06:15):
Some people want it, they don't want it. But now
I'm afraid the building with my chips, I don't know
do I take?

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
Don't you now if we had might be watching you?
Maybe the reason we don't have I don't know what
to do. It's like, look at you in your in
your in your in your cheeto fingers over there, Hi.

Speaker 13 (01:06:35):
Darren, good morning to my number one morning show.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
How does everyone that is the perfect way to start
this call. You are a sexy man, you Darren. What
do you think though, what's the what's your what are
your thoughts on this?

Speaker 5 (01:06:49):
Well?

Speaker 13 (01:06:49):
You know, fred, I could think of a couple of reasons,
from worldly to biblical reasons why she should not have
told on that man. It doesn't matter what the reason is.
Worldly speak and you just snitches get stitches.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
Just don't tell yuh.

Speaker 13 (01:07:03):
Biblically speaking. Let he who's without seeing cast the first done. Amen,
and you just you just can't do that to people.
That is between him and whatever he believes in. And
if he gets caught by the higher ups, then he
gets caught. It should not have been in your hands
to control that man. And that's exactly what you did.

(01:07:23):
You control that man's life. And now look at he's
without a job, uh, and he has to support kids
that otherwise he probably couldn't have done. So, like I said,
she should have kept her mouth shut.

Speaker 2 (01:07:34):
Yeah, I'm with you, Darren on that and a lot
of other issues that people that don't apply to people,
but they feel the need to insert themselves into. It's
like if you if it doesn't apply to you, or
you think it's wrong, then don't do it, and then
you don't, I guess you don't have a problem. But
then this extra step where I need to make sure
nobody else gets to do it either.

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
It's necessary a lot of times, Darren.

Speaker 13 (01:07:58):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Yeah, we'll look at that. Yes, a lot of reason
there from Darren. Thank you man, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
You have a great deal.

Speaker 2 (01:08:05):
Will Yeahiana, Hi, Tiana, good morning, good morning.

Speaker 1 (01:08:09):
Hey you say report this person.

Speaker 15 (01:08:12):
I do why because I actually have been a retail
manager for a multitude.

Speaker 10 (01:08:20):
Of years, and I will tell you whenever someone continuously,
you know, they get away with something and then they
continue to potentially steal HR sends out an email, chances
are there's something else that they're doing wrong. What else
is missing? You never know with an individual, So it
could very well potentially be I don't I don't know

(01:08:41):
what company this is. Maybe some other funds are going missing.

Speaker 2 (01:08:44):
Yeah, I do hate to say that because it could
be again, run reaching here, but it could be a
slippery slope. And I don't know how much money this
this represents to the company, this benefit they're providing. But
if you were to say this guy was stealing one
hundred bucks a day from the company or fifty bucks
a day, That right there, I think would resonate differently
with people. I think if you were to say this

(01:09:06):
dude siphoning off fifty bucks a day secretly from the company,
and then it turns out to pay for these kids food,
that's a noble cause. But the money, I think immediately
would be oh, terminate him.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Fire him. Done.

Speaker 2 (01:09:17):
Well, he kind of is stealing money from the company,
but in the form of food. So why is one
okay and the other one wouldn't be okay? Because I
bet you if you had said he's sealing fifty bucks
a day, one hundred percent of people would call up
here and say, well, you can't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:32):
Right, And that's kind of what he's doing.

Speaker 10 (01:09:34):
To you exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:09:38):
Yeah, thank you so much, have a good day.

Speaker 15 (01:09:40):
Yeah, I wanted to say, I love you guys, thank
you so much.

Speaker 1 (01:09:43):
Thank you, love to have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
And then like, I don't know, again, I think I
would do my best to stay out of it because
I really don't like conflict and drama and I don't
want to be But then what if you're on camera
watching this. Okay, I know I'm reaching again, but like
you know, devil's advocate here. What if they look into
this and they see you're standing there too, and you
didn't say anything, right, because you know, we have to

(01:10:05):
take that stupid training every year where it's like basically
we're supposed to turn everybody in that we see do
anything that I was supposed to be doing. Like if
we see somebody, you know, breaking company policy, we're supposed
to tell the company about.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
It, right, because now I can't get a raise because
you took seven sandwiches.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
The fread show is on a friend's fun fact.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
Fred Fun so much, Learn.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
So much? Guys.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Did you know the first ever alarm clock could only
ring at four am?

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
Which that would have worked for most of us? Yeah,
would have been perfect.

Speaker 2 (01:10:43):
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 for the French inventor and on Redier. I don't
know if I said the ring, it's a patent, an

(01:11:04):
adjustable one, but yes, the very first alarm clock would
only ring at four o'clock in the morning.
