Speaker 2 (02:19):
K talking, a big Fox Sports lawsuit, as well as
unreleased Beyonce music and someone Who's very naughty about it.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Okay, So this woman is on TikTok and she is
sharing with everyone the current state of dating in New
York City. This is apparently where people are at women,
I guess specifically trying to find a date. Now. I
just want to say, and I'm going to be that
guy and I don't like to argue this way or
I don't like to, you know, position this way. But

(02:47):
if a guy did this, he's a total creep. Okay,
But apparently if a girl does this, then we're good.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Dating scene is getting so bad in New York City
that I am seeing on TikTok there are girls going
into Midtown during the week and stealing Finance Bros Salads
for lunch and then looking their name up from the
salad order on LinkedIn and then messaging them through there
and being like, hey, my god, so sorry grabs.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Your solid Like, let me just make it up to
you and buy you a new one, and that's how
they're like sliding it, which honestly smart. Why are we
stealing men's salads like that's you have?

Speaker 1 (03:26):
But we have no idea who this man is. I mean,
I guess you run, he's a finance I suppose it's
an end. But I mean, yeah, okay, But if I
grab you know, Jake chad Z's, you know, lunch, and
then I got to go home, and first of all,
it's a bad lunch. What if he's the guy who
he likes raisins and grapes in his salad and nuts
in his salad. He likes one of those kind of Waldorf.

(03:49):
You ever had a what was it called a Walldorf?
It's like it's like Mayo. No, it's yogurt, raisins, nuts
and marshmallows. You ever had one of those? It sounds
good to me. There's marshmallows that has yogurt and marshmallows.
I don't know. Is it a Waldor?

Speaker 5 (04:05):
I mean like ambrosia?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah? Maybe, I don't know. What if the guy has
bad tasty salad and he's an idiot and he's not cute,
and he's that cute. Now you got this bad salad.
You stole it. You ruined somebody else's day because their
lunch isn't there.

Speaker 6 (04:18):
Oh you're right, Waldorf. Sorry, Okay, sure, thank I didn't
I've never heard that. And and then I mean, come on, like,
I don't, I don't know. I don't think this is
a great strategy. I mean, what are the odds that
you're going to get a good looking guy's salad who's
single and receptive and it's a good salad.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
It sounds like, yeah, well that that would be hard.
It sounds like they just want someone who makes a
lot of money. That's how desperate we're getting in New York.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
This is very thirsty.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know how I would respond
to this. I don't. I don't know exactly respond Well maybe,
but then if I found out, okay, so if it
were like an accident, because you know me, I'm into
the happenstance, you know, yeah, I'm into like the Hallmark
movie sort of thing. So I still believe I'm going
to meet someone in an airport. I really do. And
you guys don't agree with me. But the airport's not

(05:08):
only a horny place, but it's the kind of place
where you meet someone who's I don't know. That's where
that's where love stories begin. In the airport. I believe
this every time I go to the airport and get
on a flight, I look around and I survey my surroundings,
and I see what might be available to me, you know,
and what could be. There was a very very hot
girl that was one like I was on the aisle

(05:29):
and she was on the other aisle on the flight
back from South Paulo, Brazil. I don't know what her
story was. I never really got it. I think language
may have been a barrier there too, but she was
good looking. You never know. It could have been that
could have been missus fred.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Yeah you know, I could.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Have been said in abagata her all the time, yeah
you know, and and chow chow all the time. But anyway,
what are the odds though that? Okay? So I would
get the LinkedIn message, I would be like, this is
so cute, Oh my god, she's good looking. She got
my salad first of all. I would never it would
have been like a gigantic sandwich or some like four mealsakfast,

(06:07):
I got your team's lunch. It would have been like
that was all from me. But anyway, and then and
then I would have I would have been, this is
so cute, and then we maybe would have gone out,
and then I would have gone on TikTok and found
out this is just something. It's his strategy. It wasn't cute,
it wasn't happenstance, it wasn't meant to be. You wouldn't
care how many times did you do this? And you know,

(06:27):
to come upon me, and then I would I would
find it less sincere and I would be upset about it, right,
because it's it's just simply a game.

Speaker 7 (06:34):
Yeah, they're gonna start locking up the salads now, like
at Walgreens, the same, like the soap.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yes, it's like, yes I have my salad, some man
has to come around unlock it and hand it to me.

Speaker 5 (06:43):
It's crazy, Yeah, running for everybody.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't know. But if
a guy, if a guy did this and it wasn't
an accident, we would get killed. It would be gross.
I'm sorry, it's true. It would be gros it would
be it would be thirsty, it would be gross, it
would be intrusive, it would it would be violating. And
maybe because maybe men have just made that reputation for

(07:08):
ourselves by being those things. And I'm you know, taking
not personally taking credit, but yeah, I think a lot
of nice things have been ruined for the guys who
are well intentioned. That's a good point, but yeah, I
don't think this would go over very well if if
if dudes were doing this consistently, I think women would
be like where, First of all, where's my salad?

Speaker 5 (07:25):
That's what I would be mean about it, right, Yes, like.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
That was a good salad order and it was like
twenty four dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yes, well just out like we're very specific, kiking eye,
but what we want in there?

Speaker 1 (07:34):
You know, I understand that. I understand it. One a
week and there, and they're eighty four dollars.

Speaker 8 (07:39):
Today on Tuesday is a salad day. And I take
that very serious.

Speaker 1 (07:42):
That's what I mean because you had to save up
hoping right right in order to get it. But that's
I guess that's where we're at. Have you guys ever
done anything? Well, Jason's been dating the same person for
eighty seven years and he moved in correct, as we
learned yesterday in the in the Tangent are off their
uncentraed podcast. He is a U haul lesbian. I am
because he went on one date and then lived there

(08:03):
already had a packed But if you guys are being
as well, and I've probably I've definitely done things that
would be defined now as cringe but used to be
considered cute or romantic. And again I'm not blaming women
for this, but I'm saying I think guys have screwed
up what what could be a sincere gesture from a man,

(08:26):
because because now the perception is if a stranger talks
to you that that's creepy, which is a shame or
threatening or something. But will any of you women admit,
any of you ladies admit that you've done something somewhat
sort of stalker ish or creepy, or like set yourself
up to meet the guy you wanted to meet. I mean,

(08:48):
I'm wondering if anyone wants to admit to this eight five, five, five, nine,
one oh three five Have you ever like gone to
the same place he saw a guy at a place
and then you went there every day for a week
or to see if he shows up, or I don't know,
somehow position yourself in a way that he had to
bump into you, so you had to talk to him
or anything. Have you ever done something like this to
put yourself in a position?

Speaker 7 (09:09):
I mean yeah, Like I like there was a DJ,
thought that was cute, like back in the day, like
back in my any mouse tattoo.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
He did not have that tattoo.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Souch a different confuse them.

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yes, And we did a idem actually about that yesterday
with the.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Mighty Mouse Side.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
One of our listeners hang out with it.

Speaker 6 (09:23):
Oh okay, it was really fun him No, no, not
him himself, but he doesn't have the Internet in jail.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
He has no act scene tickt.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
But like with the DJ, I thought he was cute,
so I would like go to the spot that I
knew he was DJing at and like nothing happened, but
I was like, hey, like you're kind of a cool DJ,
Like I don't know, I like your style, and that
kind of just went from there.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I figured out someone's schedule at a bar and I've gone,
I haven't done this in a while, but I would
make sure that I just happened to stop in when
that person was there. It would worked. Yeah, it definitely worked.
Have you never done something like this though you've never,
You've never. I'm trying to think of another example of
where you you just make sure that somehow done something

(10:02):
or maybe you had to take some sort of creepy method.
We'll be defined as creepy today, but it worked well.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I've done things like this to Taylor Swift, Like I
befriended someone she went to high school with, just because
they went to high school together, and you.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Were hoping that you two would become friends.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Well, you know, I'm seeing the process.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
So you're befriending her, right, Okay, did you talk regularly?

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Yeah, we became online friends. She doesn't know why I'm
being her friend.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well she does, now, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I've like had my makeup done and then on purpose,
like made sure I run into a guy, you know,
because you know, when you get a beat done, you
can't waste it.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
But that's like the creepiest thing I can probably think of.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
But let me think, because maybe I'll be creepier if
I remember.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'm trying to think I've probably looked people up on
social media and make sure, like I've definitely I've probably
friend I've probably found people on social media and then
just shot my shot by requesting them, and I didn't
necessarily have like a reason to know to do, you know,
like I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't invited to do that.

(11:03):
So but my thing is either you're going to accept
it and then that might mean that you want some
form of interaction or you're not. But you have the choice,
like you know what I mean, Like you have the
option to not friend me or not respond. I'll shoot
my shot one time. I don't care. Uh now sometimes
it winds up on message boards, but I don't care.
I'll shoot Like well, that's another kind of crappy thing,
is you know, you shoot your shot and and then

(11:25):
you just if you don't want to someone to Sometimes
it works, sometimes it doesn't. Right, I've gotten responses, I've
gotten I've gotten non responses, but like I shot, you
know what I mean, Because because when I was much younger,
I would not talk to people because I was afraid
of getting rejected. And I think now it's like, oh yeah,
and then people will later brag like so so and
so yeah he slipped my DMS. I didn't respond. It's

(11:46):
like that's not cool like that. It's like mint if
I'm not good enough to go out with you. Why
am I good enough for you to brag that you
shot me down right? You know what I'm saying, Like,
why why would that be? Because him? By the way,
for every couple that don't work, sometimes it works. So
you know she did. But is that creepy? Because I
feel like you have the option. But someone some would argue,
you found me on the internet.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's what it's for. I don't that that's not creepy.
Shoot on the internet all the live long day.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
But I will say this, and guys, I'm talking to,
no one who listens to this show would be this
way because everyone has taste, fine, fine, discerning taste, yes,
But if you shoot your shot. If you find if
you see a cute person and you're resourceful and you
find them and you request them, that's it. If you
DM them one time, something very kind, not a picture

(12:32):
of your genitalia, like just be nice and respectful one time.
If you do not get a response, we are done.
We are done. We don't continue to write over and
over and then what we definitely don't do. This one's
a classic. I've seen this one on the interweb so
many times. Is once we we've written to several times
and really really like release all all forms of dignity.

(12:56):
Then we start dissing the person. Yeah, yeah, for not like,
oh you weren't that hot any way. I see this
with you guys all the time. They'll DM you guys. Hey,
you know, Kaitlin, they'll shoot their shot, then you don't respond.
I see it on the text all the time. Oh
sweet Kalin, how I would love to do this? And
then and then you don't respond because you have a boyfriend,
say whatever, and then and then like three texts after,

(13:18):
they're like, you're so hot, you're so smart, you're so good,
you know what, You're an ugly bee and I hate you.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
I got the other day for not answering like fifteen messages.
I'm like, I just saw these you a whole He's.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Like, oh, you're right right, so like let's be respectful, right,
you know. But it's funny how quickly you go from
being the woman of their dreams to a witch of
a human being, an awful heathen is terrible person, Gabby,
what did you know?

Speaker 5 (13:44):
It's true?

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Though? Don't so if we lead with oh sweet Klein,
you know, and then we shoot our shot, that's very
nice good for you, and now maybe you'll get a
response to maybe you won't, but we are done.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I shut people down kind I don't want people to
stop shooting, so I try really hard to like all good,
like you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
I'm really flattered.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
And the same is true with women to men, like
shoot your shot, be empowered, ask for what you want. Really,
but if you don't get a response, or if the
response isn't what you want, then then then we're done
and you did it and we're good. But then when
it starts to get into this debate or when it's
like no, but really change your mind and stuff, it's like,
oh boy, now hold on, like, don't do that to yourself. Okay.

(14:26):
If someone doesn't think that you're there for you or whatever,
you're for them or whatever, then that's their loss and
we move right on and we shoot our shots to
the next person. Hey Gabby, yeah, Gabby, what did you
what did you do? You look somebody up? What is
this sort of creepy method that you used?

Speaker 9 (14:45):
Now that I think about it is creepy?

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Book.

Speaker 9 (14:47):
A couple of years ago, I used to work for
a bank and I had a really good conversation with
a guy, Like he was just there for like a
good fifteen minutes and when he left, I was like, man, like,
that was such a good conversation. I should have just
gave him my number, And then I didn't, so I
still had his profile up like I'm going to shoot

(15:10):
my shot, and I did, and it was so weird
because I was like, why did I do that? He
ended up texting me back and he goes, well, this
is like my dad's phone number or something, and my
dad told me and I was like so embarrassed. But
actually it worked because we ended up going in a
couple of days after that. But now that I look back,

(15:32):
I'm like, yeah, that was really weird for me to do.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
Technically, you could have gotten fired for that, right, because
you were using someone's personal information for your personal game.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
True. Yes, I guess there is like kind of like
a line of boundaries, but it works found, right, Yeah,
I mean he could have like, I mean he could
have been like he could have been married or something
with kids, and like at the end of the day,
like could have been his wife who came to the
bank and been like who is this.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Yeah, you're right, it could have been bad, But I
suppose you could have disguised it as oh, no, I was,
It's my job. I was checking up on his experience
or something like, you know, I was making sure or
hey he forgot something. You could have made something up
that was like official business.

Speaker 9 (16:11):
Yes, yes, I mean okay it ended up well, but yeah,
definitely very odd.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Okay, well, fair enough, Thank you, Gabby.

Speaker 9 (16:20):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Have a good day. What someone do memorizing people schedules
to make sure they're at work when you stop in?
Is the creepy way? I don't know, I say, is
that is it? I mean, I suppose my definition? But
am I being that? The part that, the part that
people seem to miss is am I being creepy? Like?

(16:41):
Am I actually being? Yes, that is kind of creepy,
I suppose, But am I being creepy? Am I going
every time? Or is it just like, hey, I know
she's here on Thursdays, I'm stopping in? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Every time would be a little much, but like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
If I'm there every if she works two to seven
and I'm there at one fifty nine every day? Right right?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
My friend, one of my guy friends, met a girl
at a wedding and it was an out of town
wedding and her parents were also there, and he remembered
when she just said her room number, and.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Which is very creepy.

Speaker 2 (17:14):
He was very drunk and knocked on the door and
she was saying her parents' room number.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Her dad answered no.

Speaker 5 (17:21):
No shirt on and chased him down the hallway.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Because he was like looking for her in there. You
can't do that. You can't listen to somebody's room number
and knock on the door.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yea, this was a lot of years ago in a
different town, but it is. I was messing around with
the girl, and it was kind of more like a
situation ship before they called it that, you know, way
back in the day. And she was a bank teller,
and I never went to the bank where I didn't
even know. I knew, I knew which bank, I knew
where she worked, I didn't know which location. So this
kind of goes on for a while and then it
stops and I'm through drive through bank, and I drive

(17:53):
through the bank and there she is, She's the teller,
and I was like making a deposit or something. I'm like, oh, hey, whatever,
your name is whatever, and then we do the deal,
and it kind of looks at me, and we did
a deal and then I leave and then I get
this text from her. You know you sob you terrible person.
You didn't tell me you were married. I cannot believe you.
You know I've been having an affair this whole time.
I knew you. I knew that it was whatever. I go,

(18:15):
what are you talking about? Well, I've had the same
bank account since I was eight years old. My mom
is a co signer, or was a co signer, and
we have the same last name because I have her
maiden name is my legal last name. So she saw
my mom's name on my bank account and thought that
was my wife and lost your mind. I go, One,
why do you snoop it through my profile? And two,

(18:37):
this is why we don't make assumptions. It's my mom.
My wife has a different last name.

Speaker 7 (18:42):
Fred's show is on Fred's The Biggest Stories of the Day.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Now, the gym one is pretty common. So if I
go to someone's work, like if I find out their
schedule and I show up occasionally when they're working because
I want the exposure to them, that's creepy. But I
know a lot of people will try and figure out
when people work out and then they'll show up at
the same time and work out the only thing and
apparently that's not creepy. It's the same level of it.
Creepy is not the word.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
Do women like being approached in the gym?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Now? That would be my second thing is how many
you know, how many people man or women are prepared
to be approached at the gym? And a lot of
people don't wear their rings when they're at the gym
because they're working out, so you don't you know, that's
usually my tell, but you don't know. And then it's like,
I'm working out, I haven't showered, I don't look that good. Now,
some people go to the gym to meet someone, but

(19:31):
you don't know the difference the way these.

Speaker 8 (19:33):
Gym outfits are set up, the little leggings that you know,
tighten everything on your body and show up every curve. Yeah,
it's like I think some people really go for that reason,
like look at.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Me, Yeah, that's why I know, that's why you go.
Oh yeah, but Kiki wears the boots with the fur
and actually Kiki is one of the few people I
know who works out in denim, which.

Speaker 5 (19:54):
Is a makeup.

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Yeah, my trainer, get you know has been asking me
about that, like, how does she how is she able
to stay so fit in full denim head to toe?
It is hilarious. The flexibility is incredible. It's not a moisture,
you know. Is it a breathable fabric? I don't know.
I don't think it. No, I don't think so. Headlines. Guys,
the Northeast is under flooding a flooding threat as storms

(20:20):
rolled through. Roughly fifty million people across the Northeast are
dealing with floodwatches with the risk of severe flash flooding
in some areas. Major cities like New York City, Washington,
d C, and Baltimore are facing flash flood warnings. Video
for Manhattan shows floodwaters rushing into a subway station as
passengers boarder to train. NYPD Transportation release the statement on
x saying that flooding would cause delays. Up to five

(20:43):
inches of rain has already fallen in parts of northern
and central New Jersey as well. They were brief groundstops
at New York airports yesterday, so flooding all over the country.
Elmo got hacked on X. Oh, Now, this is terrible.
If you saw some of the things Elmo was saying, yeah, Now,
I think I would have pretty quickly realized it wasn't Elmo,
because the Elmo I know wouldn't say somebody sings. But

(21:04):
Elma was definitely not tickled. Almos's verified x account, which
has more than six hundred and fifty thousand followers, was
taken over by an unknown hacker on Sunday. In a
short burst of posts, the hijack account shared anti Semitic slurs,
racist language, and strange comments about former president well current
president Donald Trump, and Jeffrey Epstein. This is former president

(21:26):
unless something happen I don't know in the last hour,
all written in Elmo's usual third person style. Well, that
was nice. They were able to adapt it to the
way that Elmo would say it. Elmo is anti Semitic,
Elmo is raised, No, he's not, He's terrible. ABC News
in Sesame Street are reporting that this is disgusting and

(21:47):
does not reflect Elmo's values. So they were able to
take the account back and it wasn't really him. A
lot of officers are doing this. Starbucks is the latest
telling its office workers to spend more time at their
desks or take a buyout, as the company pushes to
revive lacking sales and restore its in person culture. Starting
in October, employees must be in the office at least

(22:07):
four days a week. The CEO Brian Nichol, who was
the former CEO of Chipotle, he was the guy who
was telling everyone to do the head nod. When you
can remember this, it was like a year ago, maybe
it was a little longer than that, but he'd say,
you know, if you want, he's kind of a good
looking guy and he was making videos and new interviews.
He was like, you know, if you want a little more,
a little more salsa, a little more peico, just you know,
just give him a head nod. So people were going

(22:29):
tootle and be like, I'll take a little more guacamole.
Would like the link in the head nods. And that
was his advice though, So he says that you need
to come four days a week, or you can take
a voluntary buyout, which includes a cash payout if you
opt to leave. He framed the decision as an attempt
to rebuild Starbucks in person culture, arguing that face to

(22:49):
face collaboration fuels creativity and quicker problem solving. Qualities he
says are essential as the company steaks a turnaround. We
do our best work when we're together. Now, this guy
got the jib. I think he makes one hundred million
dollars a year I saw the other day, so he's
getting paid pretty well. That's pretty good. And then I
remember when he got the job. He lives in California,

(23:10):
but the headquarters is in Seattle, so the company flies
him on a jet so that he can get to work.
I don't know if it's every day or every couple days,
but part of his agreement with the company was I'll
you can open me a little office in California, so
I'm in the office, and then they fly him on
the corporate jet to Seattle. Yeah. So I don't know
how that's gonna work if he needs people to be

(23:33):
in the unless he's counting his California office the office,
I think, you know, collaboratively, he probably needs to be
in the Seattle headquarters. So I don't know if that
means he has to move now or they're just gonna
fly him in like you know, the rest of us
drive every day.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
That's insane.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
But I would imagine that there's some employees using that
as an argument, like wait, a minute, Brian, where'sfice? Rightly? Exactly?
But this is beginning to happen a lot of places, Amazon, JP, Morgan, Chase, Google, Walmart,
They're all rolling back their pandemic era flexibility. India's government
is seeking to limit the temperature settings of new air

(24:08):
conditioners to save electricity in the country that is considered
the fastest growing market for them. The Power Minister proposed
to rule in June requiring that air conditioners sold in
the country have thermostats that can be set to no
lower than sixty eight degrees. So here's my question. I mean,
sixty eight that's pretty low. If as low as it goes,

(24:29):
we'll really get that cold, I would wonder. But then
you know, what if I want sixty What if I
want sixty five? What if I'm in a hotel room? Now, look,
I realize it's extremely wasteful, but the first thing that
I get it we're trying to save the environment here.
But the first thing that I do when I check
into the Marriot is go all the way down as
far down as it will go, all the way down,
sixty five, sixty four, whatever it is. I mean, we're

(24:52):
making that thing in ice box that is part of
the luxury experience is I can turn that thing all
the way down. That little thing will get so couil
go to Vegas all away down that Yeah, because it's hot, yes,
but sixty eight, I mean it's sixty eight going to
be cold enough. No, my house is at seventy and
it's fine all the time. Seventy yeah, you sleep with

(25:15):
seventy degrees cold cold, and we have the fan on. Yeah,
fez there. I'd rather work, denim. You sleep at seventy degrees.
I just chocked at seventy right now?

Speaker 5 (25:25):
When is yours?

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Fred?

Speaker 7 (25:26):
I'm scared as low as it will go, like sixty
five ish.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Well, that's not true because that's actually probably bad for
the air conditioner. I think I said it as sixty seven. Okay,
it doesn't get that, but it doesn't get that cold
because you know it's so hot outside. They tell you
can get maybe twenty degrees out of your air conditioner
from the outside temperature. Got it twenty ish. So if
it's ninety and if I mean so, if I put
it at sixty seven, I know it's working like that,
but I can you know, I can't get my house

(25:51):
to that. But it needs to be cold at not
in the sleepy time. It needs to be cold. There
is nothing worse than hot sleeping. I'm sorry, that is
a that would be relationship ender. You are crapped if
I met someone in there like, oh no, seventy degrees
seventy two absolute. I'm sorry, nice meeting you. I'm gonna
go back to the gym now and creep on somebody
else and find somebody else that has you know, that's

(26:13):
that's a human and that some form of robot. Because
my thing about sleeping is if it's if it's cold
and you're in the bed, you can warm yourself off.
If it's hot, there is no reprieve, there's no way
around it.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
You're supposed to sleep in cold. It's better for you.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Thank you. Well, this is and that's why I do it.
But this is no this is this is not something
I could negotiate on, Like this would be the end
of a relationship for me.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, and that's a bill that I don't even think
twice about, Like, just throw it in a meg. The
bill can be one hundred thousand dollars at this point,
I don't care, Like I'm not thinking twice about here.

Speaker 5 (26:43):
I'll figure it out.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Yeah, But for some reason growing up like that was
a thing in the house, like don't touch to a
c Like why are you right now?

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Oh, you can't touch either.

Speaker 10 (26:52):
I have to wait till it's eighty degrees in the
house to turn the air on. And then I text
Mike and I'm like, the dogs are really hot, like
the girls are panting. I think they're like really hot.
We should probably turn the air on. So he wants
it even hotter. Well, he's like, I work in the
heat all day, Like why do you guys get to
sit in there?

Speaker 5 (27:11):
O my design?

Speaker 10 (27:13):
But once it goes on, it's on, like the whole summer.
It never comes off. So I'll take I'll take seventy.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Mechanic had to go to school uphel both ways in
the snow. Yeah, Lord. And mental health experts reveal why
some people cannot help being late to everything Paulina Late.
Experts say it might not be laziness, but a condition
called time blindness, and that's where people genuinely struggle to

(27:39):
estimate or manage time. It's linked to eighty HD and
other conditions like autism, OCD, depression, and anxiety. It's an
executive function issue affecting parts of the brain like prefrontal
cortex and cerebellum. Common signs include underestimating task durations, frequent lateness,
and difficulty switching between activities. How to cope, experts say

(28:02):
using timers, building consistent daily routines, breaking tasks into smaller steps,
and setting external reminders all methods proven to reduce lateness.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
We were just talking about this this morning.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Where you have it, you have time blindness.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
I do.

Speaker 5 (28:17):
I'd like to call it running on Mexican time.

Speaker 7 (28:19):
Like when you know you're going to be an hour late,
you tell everybody to come at three because the party's
really at four, because you know everyone's going to walk
in at four.

Speaker 10 (28:25):
You have a problem switching between tasks, like you're switching
all the time, except.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Some you forget to return to the previous task. So
there's that you you can pivot. But do things get done?

Speaker 9 (28:37):
Though?

Speaker 5 (28:37):
Are things I think functioning?

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Can you hear us today?

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (28:43):
I'm currently No, that's true, he us, No, it's true.

Speaker 5 (28:46):
Yeah, I'm working on me, but I have add I
got the whole thing. I got all those Probably I'm
working on me.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
If dinners at seven thirty we expect to see paullin
it at eight fifteen. It just is. It just is correct,
So so we don't even But the thing is, if
I told you was eight fIF teenage show at nine,
so like the whole thing about I'd have to tell
you is at five for you to show up.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
At some Oh that's what I meant.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yes, it has to be the other way.

Speaker 7 (29:07):
Yeah, And I think I'm getting a little tiny better
just because ever read kid. Yeah, a little tiny better
because ever since having a child, I feel like, you know,
we got to get to things, appointments, and I can't
miss though it was like baby stuff. So I'm like,
you know what, I like being on time now it's
my new personality.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
My issue is not that I want to be late
or that I am not considered considerate of other people's time.
My issue is I don't I don't want to be
so early that I feel that I'm wasting time. I
want to arrive when it's time. That's how I feel.
I don't like being somewhere ten minutes early and then
just standing around waiting. I feel like and then I
can I can't do anything, like I'm not being productive,

(29:42):
So I try and do like one more thing, like, oh,
that wall needs to be painted. I got ten minutes
I can do, you know, like I try and do
one more thing at home. But the problem is, you
know you, it could take in a big city. It
could take the ten minutes that you that you think
it's going to take to get there. It could take
thirty men. And so sometimes I'll just cut, I'll just
split the difference and say, Okay, I'm gonna get myself

(30:04):
fifteen and then it still takes thirty you know what
I mean. Like I never seem to hit it right,
but I'm always about five minutes late. I feel like
to like dinners and things in the evening because I'm
trying to get one more thing done.

Speaker 8 (30:15):
Yes, that's like me joining a teams meeting or a
zoom meeting. Like I'm not joining early, bro, I'm not
doing the whole I just want to talk.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
To you for some.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
Forgot.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
I'm just gonna give it a couple more minutes to
make sure everybody joins nothing. There's nothing more desperate sounding
than that. Let me just give this a couple more minutes,
hoping people should up some meaning. We're just gonna give
everybody a couple more minutes. Okay, well I should have come.
I should have commented seven oh four. Then if we're
gonna give but a couple more minutes, But then if
I come at seven oh four, we didn't give everybody

(30:47):
a couple more minutes, and the meeting has already started.
Now I'm late.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
M M.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
You see, this is the story of my life. Favorite
report is on The.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Fresh Show at this one.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Host Joy Taylor has been dropped by Fox Sports after
being named in a very high profile sexual battery and
harassment suit filed by a hairstylist, and that hairstylist is
accusing her of dismissing her claims against ex executive Charlie Dixon,
telling her to quote get over it when she confide
it in her Fox also canceled three shows that she
was involved in, but Joy has denied all allegations. The

(31:17):
accused executive, Charlie Dixon, was already terminated, and sports commentator
Skip Bayless, also named in the suit, has denied any
involvement and actually a year ago he said he quit,
but now we're learning that he was fired. So there's
a lot of moving parts and a lot of things
going on. But if you saw that trending. That is
what's going on with all that mess? Unreleased Beyonce music

(31:38):
was stolen in Atlanta after people broke into her choreographer's car,
grabbing flash drives with songs, tour footage, and setless. The
break in happened outside of a food market while Beyonce
was in town for her Cowboy Carter tour. Cops tracked
a suspects car and issued a warrant, but no arrests
have been made yet. The hard drives also contain stuff
like future set lists for her tour, all and stuff.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
I don't know if someone's gonna get fired over that.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Why are we keeping that in our car? It feels
like that needs to be kept somewhere else.

Speaker 8 (32:08):
And I don't know if it's all of those things,
because I feel like Beyonce is very selective. It's our files.
I'm likely carries our files.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
I'm surprised all of our show ideas in the car.
So if you know, our competitors go ahead and break
in there and take them. Yeah, I don't know. I
just take them out of the car because they probably
will break in and take them. Yeah, I mean, do
the same show.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
Oh yeah, well, good luck to them, go ahead and
try it.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Maybe that's what happened. Maybe they broke into my car
and I took all of our ideas. Yeah, I probably
shouldn't keep it them all written in a notebook, says
all of.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Our ideas, Ye do not open secret.

Speaker 2 (32:44):
It was one of those like pink diaries that we
have in the nineties that you could.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Just pick a bobby pin.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
It had a lot my Princess diary the front and
really quick. Lastly, actress Suki Waterhouse was hospitalized after a
pair of pants were so tight they gave her a hernia.
And I feel you, girl, because remember when my leggings
I dislocated three ribs just trying to put on leather leggings.
She said that it happened when the pants constricted her abdomen,

(33:11):
leading to her having to go to the emergency room,
and she emphasized being more cautious with wardrobe choices going forward.

Speaker 5 (33:18):
If your pants are so tight they're.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Causing a hernia and she's tiny, like, it's time for
some new pants, baby girl.

Speaker 5 (33:24):
And lastly, if you want to.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Enhance your listening experience or you know, just see what
we look like today. You can go to YouTube and
type Fred Show Radio and we'll be live on and
off throughout the show.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
All right, I want to hear Kiki about your sudden
need for responsibility. Yeah, they talk better than they like
you are the radio blogs on the Fread Show. What's
interesting though, is that you are like at work, you're
so responsible, it's weird, so responsible, but then when it
comes to things like paying bills, not so much. Take

(33:56):
it away.

Speaker 8 (33:57):
All right, well, dear blog, you know I specialize and
protecting my piece and picking of.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
The stressors that i'm your bank by just not paying people.

Speaker 8 (34:06):
But okay, yeah, like I will work hard to get
the money. What happens after I get it? That's between me,
Like I just got to figure that out.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
It's between you, between the left and right of you.
Who is it? Between you and you?

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Between me and me?

Speaker 8 (34:20):
Because you know, Kaitlin has been warning me about this
student loan that for years now, Joe, I've really been
thinking that it's just a joke. And Jason's always saying, like,
you know, I gotta pay my bill, I gotta pay
my student loans.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
And Jay, Jason's We're all always saying that god I got.

Speaker 8 (34:47):
He's like, can I get for a coffee because I
had to pay my student loan And I'm just looking
at him.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Like, why are you doing that? Bro buy the coffee?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
So Ki, He's like, why are you so broke? Turns
out Kiy hasn't paid a bill in three years. No option,
It's not an invitation the.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Hard way, y'all.

Speaker 8 (35:03):
I learned the hard way because it's something going on
in the government.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Now, is that right?

Speaker 5 (35:12):
Don't say they met it with credit scores. Now, I
know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
They're messing with them. Yes, it turns out if you
don't pay your bills, your credit score goes down. There's
something in the government moment like the sock market.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
Mind led from like a good one.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
I was like, oh, they're not playing and not playing
with me.

Speaker 8 (35:30):
And I was like, you know, I'm walking around thinking
that I'm that girl.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (35:34):
See, I think I'm any job I can get, like
I'm gonna make this money, man, But I'm not that girl.
My credit score right now is not that girl. So
that might be the Kiki. That might be the one
thing that has nothing to do with the government. That's
entire we can complain about so anything that has one
hundred percent to do with you.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
I thought I was that girl. I had to pay
my bills, and I thought it was that girl.

Speaker 8 (36:00):
So finally I had to call the number, and I
called and you know, the guy was so nice.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
You called the guy.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
The guy his name is nail.

Speaker 8 (36:09):
Net and he was so nice and he was walking
me through all my options.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Bet he't been looking for you for years. She turned
herself in the most wanted. He got a bounty bonus
me through everything. And long story short, I'm going back
to school in a.

Speaker 8 (36:34):
Couple of months because I'm not paying to so I'm
going to get an art degree.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
If you just can't wait, So if you just keep going,
you don't have to pay.

Speaker 8 (36:42):
Yes, yes, He's like, he's like, okay, these are your options.
He went down the payment He's like, this is a
payment plan because you have a job and I can
see what you're doing over there. Oh no, I said,
we can't do that payment plan. I said, what's the
next option? He said, well, are you thinking about going
back to school? So it said, as a matter of fact,
I am.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
It's funny you mentioned that.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
Oh yes, I'm going to get my art degree.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Wow, you've been talking about that basket weaving master's degree
for some time now. I'm glad that you're finally pursuing
your dreams.

Speaker 8 (37:15):
I'm out here, man, that's what I Hey, I gotta
do what I gotta do. It's an American way and more. Yeah, more,
das more degree.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
That's a racket I didn't know about. So Jason, you
could just keep going to school and then avoid the
whole thing forever.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
Take this course together, Jason.

Speaker 4 (37:32):
Wow.

Speaker 8 (37:34):
So yeah, man, wow, but no, for real, for real,
I am now on a plan. Okay, I will too
be scraping for coffee Jason, girl.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
Yeah, it's real out here, man, I got here, sugar daddy.
Are you done with the toll plan that we're on?

Speaker 8 (37:49):
So the toll plan is still it just happens, and
I got a lot of plans. I don't even see
the toll plan. I don't think I'll ever be done
planning to pay in the Illinois tollway. Shout out to them.
But that may be driving on it. So it doesn't
work the same way. It's just keep going to school.
It doesn't quite worked out for more freendshow next
