It's all thanks to Live Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day. I mean, I was
humbled in maybe a year or two ago. I tried
to get into a pizza restaurant. I may have been
drinking and it was a two hour wait and I
didn't feel like it, and I was hungry. Really was
more had nothing to do with anything. I was just hungry.
I thought, Oh, you know what, I'm gonna try it.
I'm gonna DM maybe someone listens and maybe they'll just
do something nice. I'm not special, I'm not important. I
(00:54):
didn't say that I was. I'm just like, maybe maybe,
maybe just somehow they got a table, you.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Know what I mean? They rolled me back.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You can wait a line like everybody else, I mean
in a nicer way, in a nice have you considered takeout?
I'm like, well, that defeats well, that defeats the purpose. Okay, rae,
And no one needs to do anything special for me.
But I happened to know that I've said this place
a million times yeah, on the radio. So I thought, well,
it's not I'm paying and everything, but maybe I don't
(01:23):
throw me a bone, and I'm starving, and I've been drinking,
and I may I may have stumbled on an edible too,
but anyway, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
This place is like they really guessed themselves up.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Though.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
I called yesterday after the Cubs game the restaurant, yeah,
or like I guess during the Cubs games.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I left early, but I called and it was a
three hour wait. I don't believe you for a second.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I think you know, I do believe it.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That place is not good.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
You guys are crazy.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
It's good. We're trying to go there. Tell me it's
not good. You were trying to go there. I was
trying to go. I couldn't get in, so it sucks.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
That's like a lot of guys hitting on you and
you like I wasn't hit.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Well, we were talking about this off the air, but
like whenever I go to like a new restaurant or something,
and if maybe I know because you know, you know,
you live in a place long enough, you get to
know somebody people that run these places or you know
whose concepts it are. And you go in there and
the first thing I hear is about the list of
people who thought that they should get in and why,
and then their expectations of free food and free this
(02:22):
and free that. And they're telling me all this, and
I know these other people there are other people like
in media or celebrities or whatever, and I'm just going,
I never want to be on this list, like I
never want I never ever want to go someplace and
have and be like, oh, you know to the other person, like, oh,
you're not gonna believe it.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
That's why I overtip.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
I'm overly kind, like I don't ever want anyone.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
I don't ask for nothing. I don't ask for nothing.
I don't And then you don't owe anybody anything too.
That's another thing. You know, even you start to get stuff,
if you're these people that get free stuff, they're not
just giving it to you.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
They want you to do something for them, for sure.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And there are certain people in town that if you
I've learned the hard way that if they like hook
you up, then the next morning it's oh, and by
the way, can I have tickets to meet Taylor Swift
backstage and then sit in her lap? And you're going like,
wait a minute, you gave me a free appetizer, bro, Like,
I'll give you twelve dollars. I would have paid for
the right exactly, like, no, you can't. And then's like,
what do you mean, Like you know remember that one time?
(03:14):
Like no, I don't remember that one time.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Not only will I pay, I'll pay like a resort fee.
I'll clean the bathrooms like I don't get here, I'm
trying to go in there.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I'm gonna call. You know what I'm gonna do, Oh,
they have a press.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
I'm going to call the restaurant like on Friday and
say that I'm the assistant to the Fred Show and
see how many assistants have reached out. We already heard
from Carla. I'll be like, oh, oh, did you It's interesting.
I didn't realize Carla had reached out. Oh I have
to get with her on that. Yeah, Manuel has already
asked for this, and we've already told them all no.
(03:47):
Many times. Fred Show assisted at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Oh that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
He reached out many times. All right, So headlines, I
got a serious one to start. But after a nine
month probe into the deadly and a highly destructive Palisades
fire that tore through the Pacific Palisades and Malibum, and
one person has been arrested for starting the whole thing,
if you remember this, they on Wednesday announced the arrest
of a twenty nine year old uber driver who prosecutors
(04:17):
alleged lit the I believe it called the Lackman Fire
in the wee hours of New Year's Day. The first fire,
thought to be contained in reality, smoldered underground before week
nighting during high winds nearly a week later, exploding the
inferno that consumed twenty three thousand acres in more than
six thousand homes.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
One person did that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Prosecutors alleged that the guy listened to a French rap
song about to spare. Its music video depicts a trash
can being set on fire nine times in the four
days before the blaze it's thought that he started using
a lighter taken to vegetation or paper. There are other
possibilities as well, but they're looking into him for this.
Six thousand houses destroyed by this one person's actions, Allegedly
(04:59):
Lebron Ja Games. He dropped a teaser called the Second
Decision on social media, which many fans interpreted as a
major announcement, possibly his retirement, And there were so many
clues that this was in fact not going to be that.
I think that I saw the one promode like teaser
for it, and I'm like, this is a commercial. Just
the way it was shot, the people involved, the guy
(05:21):
who was doing the interview I'd never seen in my life,
didn't work for any major sports publicans. I'm like, this
is not how it would go. Plus, I think Lebron
is aware that no one liked the first decision, so
I don't really think that's how he's going to go
out with a second decision.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I don't think anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
People are mad about him, and the next day, instead
of a career ending reveal, Lebron's decision turned out to
be an ad for Hennessy Laker. One fan named Andrew
has filed suit in small claims court in Los Angeles County.
He claims that the teaser misled him. He bought two
tickets for four hundred and thirty bucks each to a
March thirty first Lakers game, believing that it would be
(05:58):
Lebron's final game. After learning the big decision was just
an ad, he says, the tickets lost nearly all their
value and he wants all of his money back, alleging fraud, deception,
and misrepresentation. Which you bought the tickets? He did not
say anywhere that I'm you know, here's the decision, and
I might be here to say you hedged your bets.
(06:18):
And here's the thing. You wouldn't have been upset if
he had announced his retirement and you were eight hundred
dollars tickets were now worth five thousand dollars. You would
have absolutely taken the upside on that you made a
bet and you lost.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right, So the way are you doing? You know, is
Lebron James annoying? Lebron James is annoying?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I got you, But like you, you would have been
just fine making ten g's on those tickets or whatever,
if in fact it had been his last game and
now you're mad, just go to the game. And I'm
surprised you could get tickets for four And I thought
NBA games were super expense. Everything's super expensive. Last time
I tried to go to NBA game was going to
cost me like four grand and my first child to
sit in the bottom level. Crazy with all the fees
(06:57):
and everything. I wasn't gonna cost that much, but it was.
I was just like, this is crazy. How can people
afford this?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You should have had your assistant reach out.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I should have. Well, I tried.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I had Fred Show, assistant at Prodigy dot com at
Aol dot com reach out to the bulls, and they said, no,
this is crazy. I think, you know, we certainly are
in an era and have been in an era of
people sharing and oversharing and you know, all the exposure
to people's lives and whatever else. But Twitch streamer and
influencer Frandy live streamed her entire labor and delivery process
(07:28):
on Twitch in an eight and a half hour broadcast
titled water Broke Baby Time. She gave birth at home
in a water birdt setup, an inflatable birthing tub, with
support from her husband and midwife and a few people
helping her daughter is named Luna. The stream drew fifty
thousand viewers and twitches. CEO even joined the live chat
(07:49):
to offer congratulations. Some portions of the stream showed her
enduring contractions in various positions, vocalizing pain and then reacting emotionally.
The final forty five minutes showed her actually holding her
new b She is known for gaming streams World of
Warcraft apparently, But do we need to see it? Do
we need to see someone's actual childbirth?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I already have, so I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Your mom took you to witness the birth of your
sister and you were eleven years old.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah, and you asked her what was the thought process there?
And she said, you know, we didn't really think of her.
And that's pretty much why I'm in therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, I do remember asking your moment, what were we thinking? Like,
it's a very it's it's a wonderful moment. It's a
beautiful moment. But for an eleven year old to see
a child extracted from their mom's body, you know, is
that was that?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Really? Did we need it?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You know, could we have?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Could we maybe have brought her in a few minutes afterwards,
you know, and everything was sort of you know, cleaned
up a bit, and you know, every h no, no,
So you're saying you don't treasure that moment, is what
you're saying. No.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
And you should see the photos. I passed out during it, obviously,
and I'm so white. It looks like I don't know
who this baby is that they handed me, like, I'm
so pale.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I don't think that moment's at for me, And that's okay,
but I don't know how I would do. I'm sure
i'd put it together because I would need to, because
it's so very much not about me. But I'm just
not good in those environments. There's so a lot of
layers there that aren't good for me. Hospitals, hospital rooms, doctors, nurses,
medical equipment, blood, oh yeah, human interaction. There's a lot
(09:23):
of aspects of this that's just not right, just not
my wheelhouse.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
For me, it was more not the medical stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
It was seeing my mom in the amount of I've
never seen my mom in that much pain.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, So that's like what knocked me back.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
And then everybody left her and came to tend to
me when I was passing out, So sorry, mom.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I hear that all as I'm from friends in the
in the industry, in the medical industry. But it's like
and it's like, you guys, you guys can't hold it
together for you know whatever. It's like, yeah, no, we
need to, we need to hold it together, and no
one should be complaining. But I think what you take
for granted is that some people just aren't they're not
good in those settings and they're really and to your point,
I think the hardest thing for me would be to
see someone I love struggling and I realized it's part
(10:00):
of the process, but like that would be hard for me,
Like do something again, we are doing something. We're getting
the thing out of there, Like that's what we're doing
the thing. There's a dating app that puts to focus
on friendships and double dates. A unique friendship dating app
is putting the word double in online dating.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's called plot Twist.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It allows singles to team up with a friend to
connect with other pairs of single people for low pressure
hangs without superficial swipes, in other words, low stress double dating.
The idea is to arrange group get togethers to meet
people without the pressure singles off and feel with the
average dating app. The company, which was known as four
play Social, which okay rebranded to reflective focus on friendships.
(10:41):
It has been rolled out in select cities New York
and Boston. Would you have wanted to go on a
group date the first time you go out with someone?
I think this is asking for trouble because I think
there's a good chance that someone likes someone else on
the date, and then now.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We're all fighting.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
That can go really bad.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Would you have done this when you were single going
out with you know? And I realized it's like there's
a safety aspect to this, and there's a comfort aspect
to this and whatever, but like, you know, there's a
I think you're really asking for me to go out
with my buddy. And we go out and then it
turns out the girl I'm supposed to be linked with
I like her, or maybe we both like the same girl,
and then it's like now we're sort of annoyed with
each other, and then there's gonna be the girl who
(11:23):
gets left out or the guy who gets left out,
and then they're annoyed and then I don't know, I
could see this really backfiring.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I think i'd be better in a group setting than
I would be one on one.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I've been on a first date.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
You guys have heard the story before, But I was
taken on a blind first date from a dating app.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I was invited to meet the girl.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
She was with eight other girls, and I was supposed
to go there and take her from that group, and
then we were going to go on a date. And
what happened was I showed up and I like four
or five other girls at the table way more. Oh
and also it was on coon because of course I
got the like, you know, the barrage of questioning too,
because like I'm the guy that I sit down and
it's like, you know, so that I'm the firing squad,
and I don't know this girl.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Know, but you know what I mean, I'm not sure
if I care what you think of me because I
don't even know this person. So it was not an
ideal thing. It was not a smart move, and it's
not something I would do. I wouldn't do that. I
wouldn't say like, yeah, my six single friends are we're
all hanging out this girl I'd never met come. Because
there's a very good chance that someone else at the
table appeals to her more so, why would I set
myself up like that? It's the same reason I think
(12:26):
on dating apps you should only have pictures of yourself.
And I've been saying this for years and people still
don't listen. And then you go on a dating app
and you see there's like three girls in the first picture,
and I'm like, she's the hottest, only to scroll through
to realize it's not the hottest girl in the pictures profile,
it's the other girl.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's a girl in the middle.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So don't do that to yourself, because you might be
a beautiful, amazing human being and you might have a
friend who's elevated from that. So why well, you could
be Look, you could be the hottest person, and then
you could have a friend who's an inch hotter the hot,
And then is why advertise that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I don't think you should do that.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And finally, a Vermont substitute teacher has been cited after
allegedly being so drugged out during class that she thought
one of her students was her dog. Oh my name
was Melissa, and she was accused of bringing cocaine into
a middle and elementary school. This is in Vermont I mentioned.
The incident was reported to school staff after a student
noticed her unusual behavior.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
According to the police, she admitted to the.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
School that she had cocaine in her jacket pocket, which
was located in the classroom that she'd been teaching, and
she kept calling the students Teddy, the name of her dog.
After running out of the classroom, she was cited for
possession and reckless endangerment.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, that's that's what you know.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Do you remember the more than cocaine?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, you're peaturing people are dogs.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Mixt in there too.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I just remember and a lot of teachers who listened
to us, and substitute teachers as well. But I remember
that there was a there was a certain genes sai Quah,
there was a certain there was a certain edge to
the substitute teachers. I can just remember, like there was
like it was like they were the rogue. It was
like they don't feel like conforming with every day teaching,
you know what I mean. Like I just remember the
(14:05):
substitutes came and some of them were just I don't know,
you could just tell like these people are they're built
different because everybody because you got to be built different
if you're the substitute teacher, because you're coming in and
then the kids are going to try and lie to
you and trick you, you know, and tell y'all know we
always play video games in class or whatever. But I
don't know, I just I feel like there was always
like a rogue element to the substitute. It was like
(14:25):
it was like, I'm not gonna work every day.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
No I'm not. Yeah no.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
They came from like a like a temp agency, and
they would just roll up like listen, I'm just here.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I don't want to teach right, I'm changing the class today.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And and it was it was like it was a
life choice, like it was a calling. Like they would
dress a little differently than the teachers. They'd come in,
like they'd have you know, I can just remember like that.
They were usually like younger, maybe a little cooler. I
don't know, maybe they'd just come from the bar the
night before, like because they got the call in the morning,
Like you know what I mean. It was just like, no,
I'm not going to do this every day. I'm gonna
do this on the days I choose, and and I
(14:57):
dug it, I dug that about them the independent spirit.
But substitute teachers are just built different if you're a
career substitute teacher. That's my opinion. And maybe there's one
listening who can go. Y's right.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I'm a billy cool substitute teacher, mister Reeser that we loved,
and he would like give us concert tickets, see what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He was like, so cool. It's like the cool uncle.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's like when I flying to Dallas and see my
nieces and they're like yay, and they love me because
it's just fun. The whole time is just buying stuff
and candy and ice cream and it's just fun.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And then I leave.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, and so all they associate me with is free stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
And like, oh, uncle Bobb. But we can climb all
over him.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And then for some reason he leaves and goes to
the hotel for twelve hours afterwards. We don't know why.
Why does the nurse stay here? Kids need a break
from me, a little little people

Many times. Fred Show assisted at gmail dot com.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Oh that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
He reached out many times. All right, So headlines, I
got a serious one to start. But after a nine
month probe into the deadly and a highly destructive Palisades
fire that tore through the Pacific Palisades and Malibum, and
one person has been arrested for starting the whole thing,
if you remember this, they on Wednesday announced the arrest
of a twenty nine year old uber driver who prosecutors
(04:17):
alleged lit the I believe it called the Lackman Fire
in the wee hours of New Year's Day. The first fire,
thought to be contained in reality, smoldered underground before week
nighting during high winds nearly a week later, exploding the
inferno that consumed twenty three thousand acres in more than
six thousand homes.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
One person did that.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Prosecutors alleged that the guy listened to a French rap
song about to spare. Its music video depicts a trash
can being set on fire nine times in the four
days before the blaze it's thought that he started using
a lighter taken to vegetation or paper. There are other
possibilities as well, but they're looking into him for this.
Six thousand houses destroyed by this one person's actions, Allegedly
(04:59):
Lebron Ja Games. He dropped a teaser called the Second
Decision on social media, which many fans interpreted as a
major announcement, possibly his retirement, And there were so many
clues that this was in fact not going to be that.
I think that I saw the one promode like teaser
for it, and I'm like, this is a commercial. Just
the way it was shot, the people involved, the guy
(05:21):
who was doing the interview I'd never seen in my life,
didn't work for any major sports publicans. I'm like, this
is not how it would go. Plus, I think Lebron
is aware that no one liked the first decision, so
I don't really think that's how he's going to go
out with a second decision.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
I don't think anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
People are mad about him, and the next day, instead
of a career ending reveal, Lebron's decision turned out to
be an ad for Hennessy Laker. One fan named Andrew
has filed suit in small claims court in Los Angeles County.
He claims that the teaser misled him. He bought two
tickets for four hundred and thirty bucks each to a
March thirty first Lakers game, believing that it would be
(05:58):
Lebron's final game. After learning the big decision was just
an ad, he says, the tickets lost nearly all their
value and he wants all of his money back, alleging fraud, deception,
and misrepresentation. Which you bought the tickets? He did not
say anywhere that I'm you know, here's the decision, and
I might be here to say you hedged your bets.
(06:18):
And here's the thing. You wouldn't have been upset if
he had announced his retirement and you were eight hundred
dollars tickets were now worth five thousand dollars. You would
have absolutely taken the upside on that you made a
bet and you lost.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Right, So the way are you doing? You know, is
Lebron James annoying? Lebron James is annoying?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
I got you, But like you, you would have been
just fine making ten g's on those tickets or whatever,
if in fact it had been his last game and
now you're mad, just go to the game. And I'm
surprised you could get tickets for four And I thought
NBA games were super expense. Everything's super expensive. Last time
I tried to go to NBA game was going to
cost me like four grand and my first child to
sit in the bottom level. Crazy with all the fees
(06:57):
and everything. I wasn't gonna cost that much, but it was.
I was just like, this is crazy. How can people
afford this?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
You should have had your assistant reach out.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I should have. Well, I tried.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
I had Fred Show, assistant at Prodigy dot com at
Aol dot com reach out to the bulls, and they said, no,
this is crazy. I think, you know, we certainly are
in an era and have been in an era of
people sharing and oversharing and you know, all the exposure
to people's lives and whatever else. But Twitch streamer and
influencer Frandy live streamed her entire labor and delivery process
(07:28):
on Twitch in an eight and a half hour broadcast
titled water Broke Baby Time. She gave birth at home
in a water birdt setup, an inflatable birthing tub, with
support from her husband and midwife and a few people
helping her daughter is named Luna. The stream drew fifty
thousand viewers and twitches. CEO even joined the live chat
(07:49):
to offer congratulations. Some portions of the stream showed her
enduring contractions in various positions, vocalizing pain and then reacting emotionally.
The final forty five minutes showed her actually holding her
new b She is known for gaming streams World of
Warcraft apparently, But do we need to see it? Do
we need to see someone's actual childbirth?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I already have, so I'm good.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Your mom took you to witness the birth of your
sister and you were eleven years old.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Yeah, and you asked her what was the thought process there?
And she said, you know, we didn't really think of her.
And that's pretty much why I'm in therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, I do remember asking your moment, what were we thinking? Like,
it's a very it's it's a wonderful moment. It's a
beautiful moment. But for an eleven year old to see
a child extracted from their mom's body, you know, is
that was that?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Really? Did we need it?
Speaker 2 (08:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
You know, could we have?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Could we maybe have brought her in a few minutes afterwards,
you know, and everything was sort of you know, cleaned
up a bit, and you know, every h no, no,
So you're saying you don't treasure that moment, is what
you're saying. No.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
And you should see the photos. I passed out during it, obviously,
and I'm so white. It looks like I don't know
who this baby is that they handed me, like, I'm
so pale.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
I don't think that moment's at for me, And that's okay,
but I don't know how I would do. I'm sure
i'd put it together because I would need to, because
it's so very much not about me. But I'm just
not good in those environments. There's so a lot of
layers there that aren't good for me. Hospitals, hospital rooms, doctors, nurses,
medical equipment, blood, oh yeah, human interaction. There's a lot
(09:23):
of aspects of this that's just not right, just not
my wheelhouse.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
For me, it was more not the medical stuff.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
It was seeing my mom in the amount of I've
never seen my mom in that much pain.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, So that's like what knocked me back.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
And then everybody left her and came to tend to
me when I was passing out, So sorry, mom.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
I hear that all as I'm from friends in the
in the industry, in the medical industry. But it's like
and it's like, you guys, you guys can't hold it
together for you know whatever. It's like, yeah, no, we
need to, we need to hold it together, and no
one should be complaining. But I think what you take
for granted is that some people just aren't they're not
good in those settings and they're really and to your point,
I think the hardest thing for me would be to
see someone I love struggling and I realized it's part
(10:00):
of the process, but like that would be hard for me,
Like do something again, we are doing something. We're getting
the thing out of there, Like that's what we're doing
the thing. There's a dating app that puts to focus
on friendships and double dates. A unique friendship dating app
is putting the word double in online dating.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It's called plot Twist.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
It allows singles to team up with a friend to
connect with other pairs of single people for low pressure
hangs without superficial swipes, in other words, low stress double dating.
The idea is to arrange group get togethers to meet
people without the pressure singles off and feel with the
average dating app. The company, which was known as four
play Social, which okay rebranded to reflective focus on friendships.
(10:41):
It has been rolled out in select cities New York
and Boston. Would you have wanted to go on a
group date the first time you go out with someone?
I think this is asking for trouble because I think
there's a good chance that someone likes someone else on
the date, and then now.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We're all fighting.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
That can go really bad.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Would you have done this when you were single going
out with you know? And I realized it's like there's
a safety aspect to this, and there's a comfort aspect
to this and whatever, but like, you know, there's a
I think you're really asking for me to go out
with my buddy. And we go out and then it
turns out the girl I'm supposed to be linked with
I like her, or maybe we both like the same girl,
and then it's like now we're sort of annoyed with
each other, and then there's gonna be the girl who
(11:23):
gets left out or the guy who gets left out,
and then they're annoyed and then I don't know, I
could see this really backfiring.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
I think i'd be better in a group setting than
I would be one on one.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I've been on a first date.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
You guys have heard the story before, But I was
taken on a blind first date from a dating app.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I was invited to meet the girl.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
She was with eight other girls, and I was supposed
to go there and take her from that group, and
then we were going to go on a date. And
what happened was I showed up and I like four
or five other girls at the table way more. Oh
and also it was on coon because of course I
got the like, you know, the barrage of questioning too,
because like I'm the guy that I sit down and
it's like, you know, so that I'm the firing squad,
and I don't know this girl.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
So I'm like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Know, but you know what I mean, I'm not sure
if I care what you think of me because I
don't even know this person. So it was not an
ideal thing. It was not a smart move, and it's
not something I would do. I wouldn't do that. I
wouldn't say like, yeah, my six single friends are we're
all hanging out this girl I'd never met come. Because
there's a very good chance that someone else at the
table appeals to her more so, why would I set
myself up like that? It's the same reason I think
(12:26):
on dating apps you should only have pictures of yourself.
And I've been saying this for years and people still
don't listen. And then you go on a dating app
and you see there's like three girls in the first picture,
and I'm like, she's the hottest, only to scroll through
to realize it's not the hottest girl in the pictures profile,
it's the other girl.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It's a girl in the middle.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
So don't do that to yourself, because you might be
a beautiful, amazing human being and you might have a
friend who's elevated from that. So why well, you could
be Look, you could be the hottest person, and then
you could have a friend who's an inch hotter the hot,
And then is why advertise that.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I don't think you should do that.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
And finally, a Vermont substitute teacher has been cited after
allegedly being so drugged out during class that she thought
one of her students was her dog. Oh my name
was Melissa, and she was accused of bringing cocaine into
a middle and elementary school. This is in Vermont I mentioned.
The incident was reported to school staff after a student
noticed her unusual behavior.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
According to the police, she admitted to the.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
School that she had cocaine in her jacket pocket, which
was located in the classroom that she'd been teaching, and
she kept calling the students Teddy, the name of her dog.
After running out of the classroom, she was cited for
possession and reckless endangerment.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Yeah, that's that's what you know.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Do you remember the more than cocaine?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, you're peaturing people are dogs.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Mixt in there too.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
I just remember and a lot of teachers who listened
to us, and substitute teachers as well. But I remember
that there was a there was a certain genes sai Quah,
there was a certain there was a certain edge to
the substitute teachers. I can just remember, like there was
like it was like they were the rogue. It was
like they don't feel like conforming with every day teaching,
you know what I mean. Like I just remember the
(14:05):
substitutes came and some of them were just I don't know,
you could just tell like these people are they're built
different because everybody because you got to be built different
if you're the substitute teacher, because you're coming in and
then the kids are going to try and lie to
you and trick you, you know, and tell y'all know we
always play video games in class or whatever. But I
don't know, I just I feel like there was always
like a rogue element to the substitute. It was like
(14:25):
it was like, I'm not gonna work every day.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
No I'm not. Yeah no.
Speaker 5 (14:28):
They came from like a like a temp agency, and
they would just roll up like listen, I'm just here.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
I don't want to teach right, I'm changing the class today.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
And and it was it was like it was a
life choice, like it was a calling. Like they would
dress a little differently than the teachers. They'd come in,
like they'd have you know, I can just remember like that.
They were usually like younger, maybe a little cooler. I
don't know, maybe they'd just come from the bar the
night before, like because they got the call in the morning,
Like you know what I mean. It was just like, no,
I'm not going to do this every day. I'm gonna
do this on the days I choose, and and I
(14:57):
dug it, I dug that about them the independent spirit.
But substitute teachers are just built different if you're a
career substitute teacher. That's my opinion. And maybe there's one
listening who can go. Y's right.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
I'm a billy cool substitute teacher, mister Reeser that we loved,
and he would like give us concert tickets, see what
I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
He was like, so cool. It's like the cool uncle.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's like when I flying to Dallas and see my
nieces and they're like yay, and they love me because
it's just fun. The whole time is just buying stuff
and candy and ice cream and it's just fun.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
And then I leave.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, and so all they associate me with is free stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
And like, oh, uncle Bobb. But we can climb all
over him.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And then for some reason he leaves and goes to
the hotel for twelve hours afterwards. We don't know why.
Why does the nurse stay here? Kids need a break
from me, a little little people
