Speaker 1 (00:01):
Good. So you only follow pretty people?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, like I only like to see pretty stuff on
my timeline, ugly people on my timeline. Like it, like
it triggers like oh God, not again, Like wow, so
I not you again?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
The Frend Show is on. I got a hot take
for and I've said it before, I got a hot take.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Honestly, you're in a public restroom. Let's Jesus take the
wheels together. You can, you can cover, you can cover
all the toilet seat you want, But then you touch
the stall, you touched, the door, you touched, the sink,
you touched, you touched. Honestly, there's there really is no
avoiding of all the places on my body. They're gonna
get nasty. It may as well be my booty because
(00:41):
I'm not touching my booty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
You put your raw clapus on that toilet.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I do, I do?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You know, hotel room? And if we're in a situation
where I'm in public and I'm having to do that,
and you know, I try and avoid that at all costs.
You know, if there's any chance of that happening, I
cancel my plans. I try and I'll plant out my
own whole day based on making sure that I don't
have to do. There's not a situation like that on
the go. I really don't like public rests rhythroms at all.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I don't even like to breathe in them. I just don't.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
But then then I'll go get on an airplane and
sit down and you know, just PLoP down. Here we go,
because you know what, I've lost control at that point.
I've lost control of the germs, like they're everywhere. There's
nothing you can do. And I feel the same way
about a public restroom, like, honestly, the bottom of my
booty is I'm never going to touch that goes right
back in my pants.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Never been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's the Fred Show. Hey, Mitch, good morning, Welcome to
the show. How are you. I'm doing, good man.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Just have a little issue, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So Giselle is a woman that you met at bar.
So you guys met out in the wild, you met
in public, which I think you would think that would
make a big difference, right, You would think it would
make a difference that you know that you meet someone
out actually, so you like you kind of get a
vibe for the chemistry and stuff because it can be
hard to do on the apps you don't know who
you're dealing with.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I prefer I prefer to like
connecting real time, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, So what happened? Where are we at?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
So?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, like we met at a bar and you know, uh,
just like off the jump, I thought she was cute.
We I felt like we hit it off. Exchange numbers
and you know, we're flirty on text, like the vibes
are good. We even started planning like like our first date,
but uh, you know, it just kind of completely disappeared
and there's like with no rhyme or reason. There wasn't
(02:29):
like a follow up. So I just feel like, you know,
I could tell if like I can vibe if it's
if it's not working.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
But it just felt like it was cool and then
it just stopped.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, I'm just kind of confused.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let's do this. We're gonna call Giselle. You'll be on
the phone at the same time. We're gonna ask some
questions on your behalf. At some point you're welcome to
jump in on a call, and the hope is that
we can figure out you know why you've never heard
from her again after what you thought was a successful date.
Hopefully we can come up with something, you know, a
good response. He's been busy or not feeling well or
something came up, and then we'll set you guys up
(02:59):
on another date that we paid for us.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
How good?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, Hey, Mitch, let's call this woman Gazelle. You guys
met at the bar. You thought she was cute. You
guys exchanged numbers, and you started planning your your first date,
I guess, But then you've reached out to her since then,
trying to you know, you met in person, right, so
now you're trying to plan the date you talked about
and she gave you her numbers. So these are all
good signs, except she's not responded to you since then,
(03:24):
and you want to know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, exactly, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Let's call Let's call Jazelle. Now, good luck, Mitch. Hi,
is this Gazelle? Hijazel?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Good morning. My name is Fredam calling from the Fred's Show.
The whole crew is here.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's the Morning radio show, and I have to tell
you that we are on the radio right now and
I would need your permission to continue with the call?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Is that okay? If we chat for a little.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Biteah, okay, let's see. Yes, So we're calling on behalf
of a guy named Mitch. I guess you guys met
out at a bar recently, exchange numbers, talked about going
on a date.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Do you remember her?
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Him?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Him, Mich is a the guy.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Sorry, I guess I thought that was implied, but anyway,
you remember the guy?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes? All right?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So what happened? Because he, I mean, he said he
went up to you. You guys chatted in person, you
changed numbers, talked about a date. I mean, you knew
what you were dealing with. I guess you probably didn't
have to give him your number or agree to a date.
But then you've disappeared. So what's going on?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Sorry? This is so really weird.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
No, it's weird. No, it's definitely weird, no doubt about that.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Right, Mitch.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
So well, whatever, I recently got out of him, four year.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Relationship and like it was bad.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
My ex cheated on me. It was awful.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
The breakup spent along a lot of hard work for
me to get through. Okay, I met Mitch and yeah,
he was really cute and I thought we had a connection.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But like on the night that we went.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Out, I I don't know, I started kind of like
piecing some.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Things together throughout the night, things started kind of clicking.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Okay, I realized how small this world is.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
Mitch.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
It turns out is.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
The ex boyfriend of the girl that my boyfriend cheated
on you with.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Okay, Mitch is the ex boyfriend of a woman who
your ex boyfriend cheated on. Okay, I'm just going clear here.
So you were cheated on by Mitch's ex girlfriend. What
wasn't I have to do with him?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Though?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Well, like the connection, the situation, Like, it's been really
hard for me to get through. I don't know how
you would feel. But if your wife cheated on you
and then you started dating, it's just so complicated.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I can't even like, do you understand me?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
You get it like you're in a long relationship with
the one and then they cheat.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
On you, and then you go on a date with.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
The person that that person was in a relationship with,
Like that connection is not okay in my world.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I mean, you both couldn't you commiserate over both being
cheated on? I mean, I've heard of this happening By
the way, I've heard of you know, it does seem
a little strange, but I've heard about people's exes getting together.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Well, we don't have to Mitch was cheated on by
the girlfriend. Maybe they had already broken up, right, I
guess we don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty bother them
either way. It's too close to halt.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yeah, it's have too many feelings about the situation to
go on a date with somebody that is remotely connected.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
To the woman that helps my boyfriend cheat on me.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I get that. Let me.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Mitch is here. I forgot to mention the mitches here.
I'm very forgetful. I apologize. Mitch. Did you did you
put that together? Did you? I guess I'm assuming you didn't.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And and and by the way, were you cheated on
when you were active in a relationship with this woman
the other woman?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Well, hey, Jelle, I had no idea. So wait, No,
me and Allison weren't together. But wait, went like, I mean,
that's still weird, like Allison, right, Like you're cheated with Allison?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh yeah, Well, I guess I don't know why he's
being penalized for. That's my thing. Why are we taking
this out on him? He didn't do anything.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
It's not that it has anything to do with Mitch.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
It has everything to do with the hoe bag and
the ex and looking.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
At the situation, it's too close to home.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
This is a huge city and that's the.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Person I went on a date with. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That kind I was kind of fair.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I mean, you could have told me that.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I understand.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
You know, you're like, how's that for?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
How do you bring that up on.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
A first date? Like, Hey, I know we've been talking for.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Like an hour, but I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
The last person you banked banged my last person I bang?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Just like that, Is it a good.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Time to date it?
Speaker 8 (07:39):
You're still so hurt by it? I wonder like I'm
saying that, No, it's.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Not, which is why I stopped talking to this person.
I'm clearly not ready to be in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
In a perfect world, you have that conversation with him,
and I understand you're not obligated to do that, but
I suppose you could have maybe and I'm not criticizing you,
but you could have maybe not given him your number
or or released Yeah, this.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Is a soft thrash in my world, like, yeah, let
me just do I know.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
I'm gonna deal with it personally, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I get that, and I guess the communication here was
was broken down. But that is a very small world,
I will say. And I think, you know, flex would
be for you two to hook up and then, you know,
maybe send some pictures accidentally, you know, it'd be a
little little ketty about it.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
It's that crossed my mind.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
I was thinking about all the ways we could revenge.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
But man, I'm trying to be a better person.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Why right, what exactly what good does that do? All right?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Because, by the way, you were wrong, so I think,
you know, and this wouldn't be wrong. You were wronged
by being cheated on. This wouldn't be wrong, and it
would be pretty good, you know, pretty sweet revenge. However,
I assume you're not interested in going out with him now.
If we pay for it.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Mitch, I think we could be friends and definitely plan retaliation.
But yeah, I'm sorry if it hurts you in any way.
I'm just not ready for gating.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Okay, Yeah, I don't want to if someone's not emotionally available,
I don't want to you know, invention that either yeah,
I understand, I guess just you know, it's okay. We
stay in touch and you know, if you want to
talk about it or.
Speaker 6 (09:12):
Whatever, I'm here for you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
We have a great budget for this because we very
rarely hooked people up. So if you guys want to
go on a friend date and plan retaliation and hit
us up, we'll pay for it. But thank you both
for your time. Best of luck to both of you.
It's the Fread Show. Good morning, thanks for having us

Speaker 4 (10:04):
I don't think you would you know what this is?
Have you been to one? Yeah? When, well, when's the
last time you.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Do you know what this is? Because Paulina was very
worried that you didn't know what my shirt said, I
just did.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
Yeahxel, No, I know what that is. I just I
told Kat the other day I didn't know the difference
between Jared what was that?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
What was that guy's name? Jared Leno? And Jared Leto
and and j Leto?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And I was really, you don't know the difference between
Jared Leto and Jay Leno?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I was so confused me neither girl?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean good, it's not just wildly different people though.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
Yeah, I also don't know the difference between Christina Aguilera
and what and oh god, what's.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
That girls name? Ged Stefani? But come next to each other?
I don't know which ones which girl?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Now you lost me the Jared j Lenel think, Okay,
I can see that because similar.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
How wait, how could you see that difference Jared Leto.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
And j l like you put them together in side
by side.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, but if like Kaylin did an entertainment report and
brought it up, I might confuse at you the.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The names are just too similar. Yeah, but not quite so.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Fani and Christineaguil, Jared.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And j are not the same name at all, JA
and J No, I get it anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So probably didn't think that you knew what what this
shirt meant, and I just I was curious. I was hoping,
I mean, at twenty seventh that you knew when Blackbuster was.
But there's probably some someone was stenying now, maybe some
young kid who has no idea.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
No, we all know what we've been informed.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Have you ever been to one? You have? So you've
rented I assuming DVD?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Well I never did, but because I was too little.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But my mom, oh, I see, so you accompanied somebody
inside a Blockbuster.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
It's like a library.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It sort of was like a library, right, it was.
It's kidding.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, yeah, you can check them out. That's that's kind
of good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Do you ever think a v H v HS?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I had a lot.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Okay, yeah, because my sister, oh, her sister's millennial.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yeah, i'd like to speak with her three thirty two.
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Okay, So, and I always get these wrong, but I'm
I'm gen X slash millennial. But more I mean, like
on the cost. I guess most of you are millennials
and your gen z. Okay, I'm ninety eight, so this
is the list. I'm twenty one. I know Blackbuster. Someone texted, well,
that's good. I'm twenty three. I used to go to
a Blockbuster. Okay, good, thank god, Okay, we buil that formed.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, I do it. Paulina was worried about it. Whether
that you knew, because one did.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Like the Netflix era start right, like what age group?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I would think it would be hers use it probably.
I think the DVDs in the mail were like late
made to late two thousands.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Right, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
I remember when Netflix only did DVDs and you would
get a mailed to your house.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah yeah, good times.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah times.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
But that was your version of Blackbuster. And I was
talking to someone the other day. Fifty million bucks, I believe,
was the number Netflix offered to sell to Blockbuster for
five zero fifty million dollars and now they're worth like
fifty billion.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Wow, let me see it again up the other day.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No excuse me, five hundred and sixteen billion dollars. So
Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for five zero fifty million,
and instead they said no, why would we do that? Well,
Blockbuster will need you now. Blockbuster's gone and they're worth
five hundred and sixteen billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
One Blockbuster left.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
In vand Oregon. Yeah. Yeah, there was a whole documentary
about him. How they like, I don't know how they
do it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't know where they're getting all the DVDs from. I
don't know ry someone's basement. Yeah, I don't know how
it's all working.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Don't sell DVDs, you guys, it's like target.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well okay, but how do you play it? I mean,
like I just actually donated a bunch of DVDs because well,
I guess everyone that's true, you don't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I always he's a huge gamer, but he's a switch
to guy now, you know, more of a switch to
switch one or no, certainly not, certainly not.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, I mean I'm scared I haven't sent you three
already because you know you're on the cutting edges as
a gaming influencer, right well yeah, the gay yeah, the game,
the game board for sure.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You get that. Lock that down, right, I know a.
Speaker 11 (14:26):
Podcast you're gaming jam okay, so on this eight five
five five one three five, and you can call him
text the same number.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But well stay here, because so these are the things,
well you you are your gen x why why why?
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I don't know what all those things are. And then
you guys just keep saying letters and now I'm really confused. Okay,
So these are things that basically that our parents would
have most of our parents would have a us to do.
And I just want to get your reaction to like
how this would have gone in your house. Then again,
your parents are a little while. Your parents are are
a little I mean, I've talked to your moms. She's
a little while. Apparently your dad's trite and believes that
(15:11):
he needs airtime now too to speak about his mayoral duties,
which is not happening because I can't. I can't provide
equal time to your whole family, Nor can I provide
equal time to the entire you know, political uh uh,
you know the landscape of California. There are actual election
laws against this. His competitor would have to get equal airtime.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I don't know's it doesn't have a competitor.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, he wouldn't add, you know. Yeah, so he ran unopposed,
So he did he's gain to him, why opinion and
why is he writing about it?
Speaker 8 (15:40):
He's just jealous that my mom is on air.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
He's just jealous.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I'm sure your dad's a lovely man. But if he
ran unopposed, I mean that's he volunteered basically.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Those campaign dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
If no one ran against him, he didn't really win
or lose. He just sort of is Okay. Anyway, here's
my question. I want to know from the people at
home and the people in the room, and then you,
as the youngest member, how this would have gone on
in your house. For example, Okay, were you allowed to
just well you kind of grew up in it. Did
you always grow up in kind of a smaller town. Yeah,
(16:11):
maybe maybe this doesn't apply as much to you. But
were you allowed to just roam the neighborhood?
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (16:17):
It depends, my It depends how old I was, if
I was in trouble, like you know, like grounded. When
you were old enough and not in trouble, could you roam? Yeah,
for the most part, But like my mom would want
to know where.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, I'm not talking about the time where you were
grounded or sleeping fellow, I mean, like, were you allowed
I'm wondering if you were allowed on a time when
you were conscious, ungrounded, not in jail, right when the
weather was nice, you know, when the most parts and
people weren't protesting, were you.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
Able to within the neighborhood. Yeah, okay, you could in
my neighborhood. I'm a different reality, Like that doesn't seem
real having you guys are having a conversation. I'm having
a conversation. She's having a conversation. It's not the same conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So because because like as kids, like when I was young,
it was and it was just you know, ride your bike, go,
just go, And there was no way really for us
to get you know, there were no cell phones. Maybe
a pager, but I didn't have one really. I mean,
there was really no way to know where we were,
what we were doing. I mean they were payphones, but
we didn't really use those. And it was like, hey,
(17:25):
go at you know, nine am or whatever, and just
come back before it gets dark, which in Arizona in
the summer is like ten o'clock at night. And I'm
not saying my parents didn't care, but they did. There
was nothing was happening.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
See, that was that's where we differ. I had to
have a cell phone, so I wasn't allowed to roam.
You weren't really roaming, So I wasn't really roaming. I
mean like it felt like I was, but not really.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Were you allowed to go to someone's house whose parents
your parents didn't know?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yes, Okay, so you could do that? Yes, because I
guess that's the thing, and that's that didn't happen. Mean,
my wife was all kinds of people's houses and parties
and stuff, and my parents didn't ask where I was or.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Or who the people. They didn't interview the parents ahead
of time. They didn't call over there and see what
was going on. They weren't They weren't logged into the
live stream, you know, on YouTube or whatever to see. Okay,
So you were allowed to go to people's home so
your parents didn't know.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
My parents were like, thank god, Okay, were you.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Allowed or slash When you're given the opportunity to go
hang out in the mall all day?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Was that even a thing you could do? Yes?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Because that was something when we were like before we
could drive, that was what like three or four dudes
in the weekend we get dropped off of the mall,
and then three or four girls had dropped off of
the mall and it was essentially a date, but it
wasn't a date. And we would we didn't have any money,
so we could maybe eat, maybe we had money to eat,
you know, but like, yeah, we would just walk around
in circles in the mall. And you know, it was
(18:50):
like a little flirty walk. I dabbled kind of thing. Okay,
so you were able to do well. Here there are
people going up right now who don't even probably know
there are a town for them. There is all right,
or there's nothing there to do, so like you wouldn't
walk around them all okay. And by the way, this
is a list that was made by a website. It's
(19:11):
eleven things that parents of gen X kids did that
would be considered a neglect today.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
My parents neglected me.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I guess. So were you expected to cook your own food?
Apparently now you don't have to cook your own food?
Did you dangerous or something?
Speaker 10 (19:25):
I always cooked with my parents because my parents are chefs,
so I like they wanted me to learn how to cook.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Okay, that was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Like if you wanted to make something and you were
eight years old or ten, and they weren't there. Maybe
that wasn't even a thing either, But I mean, were
you allowed to, you know, tear on the stove and
cook an egg or something if you wanted to?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I would. The thing is I was really.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Lucky because I grew up with a house with a
lot of food, so I never really had that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
You never had to cook it.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
Okay, well I did, but like not like I never
cooked eggs by myself or anything.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Bus I'm the youngest, so my sister was always home.
I was never really alone.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You hit people serving on you, serving you?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Are your nieces and nephews who are much younger, are
they allowed to do any of this stuff?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Like can they go roam the neighborhood?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And they can go to the park, But there's cell
phones with locations on them, so that doesn't really count.
They're not allowed to cook. Everybody gets door dash or
uber eats.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Now, okay, so that's okay, So don't turn the stove
on that because you might burn the house down or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I know, I was crying up pork chops at teams.
You know, you're making spaghetti, oh.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, noodles, rice and you had to make rice, and
you had to make eggs. Oh oh yeah, and you
had to make mac and cheese. Oh yeah, No, there
was no. It was an order of peacha every time
you're hungry. No, no, interesting. I didn't touch a stove
till I was definitely in my twenties. We talked about
this yesterday, making babies cry it out. I guess that's
not a thing that people do anymore. It's just let
(20:47):
the baby cry out. Because Nauline was talking about how
little baby Gigi, you know, gets mad and stuff and
like hits and whatever at one year old, which is
you know, and tells her mom to f off and
you know, leave and stuff like that. That's crazy and
one's angston that kid already. But you know, the thing
was you just let them have the outburst and just
let them do it. But I do think that like
(21:07):
in this day and age, you know, people would be
annoyed or they would actually think you were not doing
your job if your kid freaks out in the store
and you just let them freak out and walk around
like that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Right, yeah, I mean that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I thought as a parent, But I don't know that
people wouldn't call CPS on you. Now if you were
walking around you know, the jewel or the Walgreens or whatever,
and your kid was just screaming because you just weren't
going to deal with the fact that you were going
to buy them the popsicles or the toy or whatever.
The cops show up for that like abuse now or something.
Letting kids figure things out themselves. Ignoring school bullies now,
(21:40):
this is a more controversial topic because bullying has gotten
far more sophisticated now. I mean, it's the same spirit
of idiots saying mean things to other people because they're
projecting that they're actually the loser, which is the thing
that your parents always tell you when you're growing up,
Like when the kid's making fun of you and saying
mean things about you, it's like, well, this person actually
very instqut about themselves, and they make that you know,
(22:01):
it's a terrible quality that someone people to make themselves
feel better by putting you down and so, and you're
going to grow up to be really successful and great,
so don't worry about them, you know. That's that's the
advice I got about bullies. But my parents weren't calling
to school saying, don't bully my kid. My parents weren't
calling the parents, but my parents were like, this is
part of life and people are always going to be
(22:21):
a holes And that's true to this day. And I'm
forty four years old and there are still people who
get off on other people's failures and me so like,
if you're not equipped for that, then I don't know
how well you're going to do in the real world.
But I I will admit you know it's it's gotten
far more dramatic, far more drastic. The accessibility with technology
and social media and the ways that people are bullying
(22:43):
are far vaster than they were. But as it pertains
to just kids being mean to kids, I don't know
how much of their that there is anymore. How did
your parents deal with you being bullied?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well, my dad's Italian, so children.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Rps of that. And there's a big hole in your backyard.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
So he said, put me on the ratio, there lay
cards outside, So I put your.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Hair and I let her speak freely. She doesn't even
know my name.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I know, Jeff. No.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
My dad my mom would give very opposite advice.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
My dad's like, let me know who they are. I
want to talk to them.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
I was like, he's like very confrontational, and my mom's
just like who cares, just like blow it off their losers.
And so I would never really listen to my dad
in that sense. I mean, like a couple of times
I did, and I probably shouldn't have, but I tried
to stick with what my mom said because it felt
a little.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
More ration when you egged the car. Oh, yeah, that
is true. Maybe I am like my dad. I did.
I Okay, it sounds like your.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Dad would actually kill people with his bare hands, and
you egged the car, so you're.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Not like you're going to a car.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I threw poop at the people's car.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Here's my Oh I thought I thought you were going
to say your poop.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I was worried about in this segment is you're not
the person to talk to you? Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Are you a bully? No?
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Somebody eggs my house and I didn't even know who
they were, and so I retaliated with dog poop.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's what it's giving.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Okay, So your parents basically raise you like you were
one of us, So this is not you're not the
person to talk.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
To but so sorry, and like the.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Bullying thing I know, I'd look like and someone's going
to text up here and go, oh, the you know,
terrible example of this. And then yes, of course there
are extreme examples, and there are ways that people are
bullying now that they couldn't bully a stend. But I
do say that there's something too kids being mean to kids,
and you've got to teach your kids how to manage
that because it's not going to go away in adulthood.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And so like if you take your kid out of school,
or if.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
You I don't know a lot of different things that
I've heard of people do or homeschool your kid simply
because you don't want to expose them to certain things
that are mean. I understand that that sort of desire,
But like what happens then when it's time for your
kid to go out and get a job and be
in the real world and someone's mean to them and
they don't know what you how to cope with that
or what to do because it's going to happen because
(25:07):
people are mean.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Oh yes, my dad taught me how to punch mine.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Is that bad?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But the rule in our house was don't hit unless
you have men hit. If you get hit, then you
can hit. That was my thing, yes, and that's different for.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
What I got first on the butt with a stick.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, when we were.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
In kindergarten, and so my dad taught me how to
throw a punch kindergarten.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, yeah, throw a punch.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
And so the next day he said, there he is,
and I punched him.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mean, if boy, I guess if a man hits
a woman the Italian you can do what you gotta
do a.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Man, it's a woman. He was a little boy, He's
really fine, that's what.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Well, that's what I just said.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Though, I just said, you hit a welt on my butt.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
So she was little and it was just she was
a child.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
But like if a man hits a woman, then you know,
a woman can retell you in whatever way she pleases,
except you know, poop.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
There too.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Hey, Jose, Jose, Okay, why do we call Jose? Like,
why do we call the radio station and then we
don't say anything?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Maybe put him on hold and then pick him back
up one more time, Jose, because like I hear that
there's like a phone on. Okay, Well that was fun, thanks, Jose.
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
That was what insightful one insightful feedback there and honestly,
the middle, the middle part of that call touched me
the most. I think where he really got into his
childhood and.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Talked about it was like when he was talking, time
had no meaning.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
He could have gone on forever.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It was for me, it was poetic, like the guy
is the true orator. Like a lot of people say that,
like like uh, Barack Obama can speak, and Martin Luther came.
But when Jose talks to me, it's like I'm the
only person in the room. I'm a different person, you
know what I mean, Kiki A true speaker. Yeah, he
was great, a true orator.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, I was. I was totally just locked in on
everything he had to say. I feel like, Jose, know,
your mic is very much and you can speak.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What an incredible speech.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, Well anyway, I was just I was wondering if
any of this related to you, because because you do
represent that generation, but I think your parents made it
such that none of that represents you.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
You can go now and the Paly they can come
back have a nice day, because that's that's where we're
at now, is with this, we have to switch people physically,
switch human beings so that we have enough people to
do the jobs rather and the doors. No, we don't
really follow directions.
Good. So you only follow pretty people?
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, like I only like to see pretty stuff on
my timeline, ugly people on my timeline. Like it, like
it triggers like oh God, not again, Like wow, so
I not you again?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
The Frend Show is on. I got a hot take
for and I've said it before, I got a hot take.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Honestly, you're in a public restroom. Let's Jesus take the
wheels together. You can, you can cover, you can cover
all the toilet seat you want, But then you touch
the stall, you touched, the door, you touched, the sink,
you touched, you touched. Honestly, there's there really is no
avoiding of all the places on my body. They're gonna
get nasty. It may as well be my booty because
(00:41):
I'm not touching my booty.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
You put your raw clapus on that toilet.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I do, I do?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You know, hotel room? And if we're in a situation
where I'm in public and I'm having to do that,
and you know, I try and avoid that at all costs.
You know, if there's any chance of that happening, I
cancel my plans. I try and I'll plant out my
own whole day based on making sure that I don't
have to do. There's not a situation like that on
the go. I really don't like public rests rhythroms at all.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I don't either.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I don't even like to breathe in them. I just don't.
I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
But then then I'll go get on an airplane and
sit down and you know, just PLoP down. Here we go,
because you know what, I've lost control at that point.
I've lost control of the germs, like they're everywhere. There's
nothing you can do. And I feel the same way
about a public restroom, like, honestly, the bottom of my
booty is I'm never going to touch that goes right
back in my pants.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Never been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
It's the Fred Show. Hey, Mitch, good morning, Welcome to
the show. How are you. I'm doing, good man.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Just have a little issue, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
So Giselle is a woman that you met at bar.
So you guys met out in the wild, you met
in public, which I think you would think that would
make a big difference, right, You would think it would
make a difference that you know that you meet someone
out actually, so you like you kind of get a
vibe for the chemistry and stuff because it can be
hard to do on the apps you don't know who
you're dealing with.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, one hundred percent. I prefer I prefer to like
connecting real time, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, So what happened? Where are we at?
Speaker 6 (02:07):
So?
Speaker 5 (02:07):
Yeah, like we met at a bar and you know, uh,
just like off the jump, I thought she was cute.
We I felt like we hit it off. Exchange numbers
and you know, we're flirty on text, like the vibes
are good. We even started planning like like our first date,
but uh, you know, it just kind of completely disappeared
and there's like with no rhyme or reason. There wasn't
(02:29):
like a follow up. So I just feel like, you know,
I could tell if like I can vibe if it's
if it's not working.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
But it just felt like it was cool and then
it just stopped.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Okay, I'm just kind of confused.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Let's do this. We're gonna call Giselle. You'll be on
the phone at the same time. We're gonna ask some
questions on your behalf. At some point you're welcome to
jump in on a call, and the hope is that
we can figure out you know why you've never heard
from her again after what you thought was a successful date.
Hopefully we can come up with something, you know, a
good response. He's been busy or not feeling well or
something came up, and then we'll set you guys up
(02:59):
on another date that we paid for us.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
How good?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, Hey, Mitch, let's call this woman Gazelle. You guys
met at the bar. You thought she was cute. You
guys exchanged numbers, and you started planning your your first date,
I guess, But then you've reached out to her since then,
trying to you know, you met in person, right, so
now you're trying to plan the date you talked about
and she gave you her numbers. So these are all
good signs, except she's not responded to you since then,
(03:24):
and you want to know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, exactly, all right.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Let's call Let's call Jazelle. Now, good luck, Mitch. Hi,
is this Gazelle? Hijazel?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Good morning. My name is Fredam calling from the Fred's Show.
The whole crew is here.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's the Morning radio show, and I have to tell
you that we are on the radio right now and
I would need your permission to continue with the call?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Is that okay? If we chat for a little.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Biteah, okay, let's see. Yes, So we're calling on behalf
of a guy named Mitch. I guess you guys met
out at a bar recently, exchange numbers, talked about going
on a date.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Do you remember her?
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Him?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Him, Mich is a the guy.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Sorry, I guess I thought that was implied, but anyway,
you remember the guy?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yes? All right?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
So what happened? Because he, I mean, he said he
went up to you. You guys chatted in person, you
changed numbers, talked about a date. I mean, you knew
what you were dealing with. I guess you probably didn't
have to give him your number or agree to a date.
But then you've disappeared. So what's going on?
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Sorry? This is so really weird.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
No, it's weird. No, it's definitely weird, no doubt about that.
Speaker 6 (04:28):
Right, Mitch.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
So well, whatever, I recently got out of him, four year.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Relationship and like it was bad.
Speaker 6 (04:38):
My ex cheated on me. It was awful.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
The breakup spent along a lot of hard work for
me to get through. Okay, I met Mitch and yeah,
he was really cute and I thought we had a connection.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But like on the night that we went.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
Out, I I don't know, I started kind of like
piecing some.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Things together throughout the night, things started kind of clicking.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Okay, I realized how small this world is.
Speaker 8 (05:03):
Mitch.
Speaker 6 (05:04):
It turns out is.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
The ex boyfriend of the girl that my boyfriend cheated
on you with.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Okay, Mitch is the ex boyfriend of a woman who
your ex boyfriend cheated on. Okay, I'm just going clear here.
So you were cheated on by Mitch's ex girlfriend. What
wasn't I have to do with him?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Though?
Speaker 7 (05:25):
Well, like the connection, the situation, Like, it's been really
hard for me to get through. I don't know how
you would feel. But if your wife cheated on you
and then you started dating, it's just so complicated.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I can't even like, do you understand me?
Speaker 6 (05:41):
You get it like you're in a long relationship with
the one and then they cheat.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
On you, and then you go on a date with.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
The person that that person was in a relationship with,
Like that connection is not okay in my world.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
I mean, you both couldn't you commiserate over both being
cheated on? I mean, I've heard of this happening By
the way, I've heard of you know, it does seem
a little strange, but I've heard about people's exes getting together.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Well, we don't have to Mitch was cheated on by
the girlfriend. Maybe they had already broken up, right, I
guess we don't know.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty bother them
either way. It's too close to halt.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yeah, it's have too many feelings about the situation to
go on a date with somebody that is remotely connected.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
To the woman that helps my boyfriend cheat on me.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I get that. Let me.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Mitch is here. I forgot to mention the mitches here.
I'm very forgetful. I apologize. Mitch. Did you did you
put that together? Did you? I guess I'm assuming you didn't.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And and and by the way, were you cheated on
when you were active in a relationship with this woman
the other woman?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Well, hey, Jelle, I had no idea. So wait, No,
me and Allison weren't together. But wait, went like, I mean,
that's still weird, like Allison, right, Like you're cheated with Allison?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Oh yeah, Well, I guess I don't know why he's
being penalized for. That's my thing. Why are we taking
this out on him? He didn't do anything.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
It's not that it has anything to do with Mitch.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
It has everything to do with the hoe bag and
the ex and looking.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
At the situation, it's too close to home.
Speaker 7 (07:10):
This is a huge city and that's the.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Person I went on a date with. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
That kind I was kind of fair.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I mean, you could have told me that.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I understand.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
You know, you're like, how's that for?
Speaker 1 (07:26):
How do you bring that up on.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
A first date? Like, Hey, I know we've been talking for.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Like an hour, but I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
The last person you banked banged my last person I bang?
Speaker 8 (07:36):
Just like that, Is it a good.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Time to date it?
Speaker 8 (07:39):
You're still so hurt by it? I wonder like I'm
saying that, No, it's.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Not, which is why I stopped talking to this person.
I'm clearly not ready to be in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
So that's fair. That's fair.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
In a perfect world, you have that conversation with him,
and I understand you're not obligated to do that, but
I suppose you could have maybe and I'm not criticizing you,
but you could have maybe not given him your number
or or released Yeah, this.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
Is a soft thrash in my world, like, yeah, let
me just do I know.
Speaker 6 (08:05):
I'm gonna deal with it personally, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
I get that, and I guess the communication here was
was broken down. But that is a very small world,
I will say. And I think, you know, flex would
be for you two to hook up and then, you know,
maybe send some pictures accidentally, you know, it'd be a
little little ketty about it.
Speaker 6 (08:23):
It's that crossed my mind.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
I was thinking about all the ways we could revenge.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
But man, I'm trying to be a better person.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Why right, what exactly what good does that do? All right?
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Because, by the way, you were wrong, so I think,
you know, and this wouldn't be wrong. You were wronged
by being cheated on. This wouldn't be wrong, and it
would be pretty good, you know, pretty sweet revenge. However,
I assume you're not interested in going out with him now.
If we pay for it.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Mitch, I think we could be friends and definitely plan retaliation.
But yeah, I'm sorry if it hurts you in any way.
I'm just not ready for gating.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Thank you.
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Okay, Yeah, I don't want to if someone's not emotionally available,
I don't want to you know, invention that either yeah,

Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's one of my favorite shirts. One of you guys
gave it to me. I think it was Klem.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
It says a Blockbuster and the question that you had
for Belahmine was bel Hemine welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Get in here, Hey Fred? Scared you have your phone?

Speaker 1 (09:53):
What is No? I'm asking you what my shirt?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
What?
Speaker 4 (09:56):
What is that? That's Blockbuster?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Yeah? And how old are you? And do you know
what this is?
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (10:01):
I know Blockbuster.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I don't think you would you know what this is?
Have you been to one? Yeah? When, well, when's the
last time you.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Do you know what this is? Because Paulina was very
worried that you didn't know what my shirt said, I
just did.
Speaker 10 (10:16):
Yeahxel, No, I know what that is. I just I
told Kat the other day I didn't know the difference
between Jared what was that?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
What was that guy's name? Jared Leno? And Jared Leto
and and j Leto?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
And I was really, you don't know the difference between
Jared Leto and Jay Leno?
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I was so confused me neither girl?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean good, it's not just wildly different people though.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
Yeah, I also don't know the difference between Christina Aguilera
and what and oh god, what's.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
That girls name? Ged Stefani? But come next to each other?
I don't know which ones which girl?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Now you lost me the Jared j Lenel think, Okay,
I can see that because similar.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
How wait, how could you see that difference Jared Leto.
Speaker 8 (11:00):
And j l like you put them together in side
by side.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, but if like Kaylin did an entertainment report and
brought it up, I might confuse at you the.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
The names are just too similar. Yeah, but not quite so.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Fani and Christineaguil, Jared.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
And j are not the same name at all, JA
and J No, I get it anyway.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So probably didn't think that you knew what what this
shirt meant, and I just I was curious. I was hoping,
I mean, at twenty seventh that you knew when Blackbuster was.
But there's probably some someone was stenying now, maybe some
young kid who has no idea.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
No, we all know what we've been informed.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Have you ever been to one? You have? So you've
rented I assuming DVD?
Speaker 8 (11:41):
Well I never did, but because I was too little.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
But my mom, oh, I see, so you accompanied somebody
inside a Blockbuster.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
It's like a library.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
It sort of was like a library, right, it was.
It's kidding.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah, yeah, you can check them out. That's that's kind
of good. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Do you ever think a v H v HS?
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I had a lot.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Okay, yeah, because my sister, oh, her sister's millennial.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Yeah, i'd like to speak with her three thirty two.
I don't remember.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Okay, So, and I always get these wrong, but I'm
I'm gen X slash millennial. But more I mean, like
on the cost. I guess most of you are millennials
and your gen z. Okay, I'm ninety eight, so this
is the list. I'm twenty one. I know Blackbuster. Someone texted, well,
that's good. I'm twenty three. I used to go to
a Blockbuster. Okay, good, thank god, Okay, we buil that formed.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Well, I do it. Paulina was worried about it. Whether
that you knew, because one did.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
Like the Netflix era start right, like what age group?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
I would think it would be hers use it probably.
I think the DVDs in the mail were like late
made to late two thousands.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Right, I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 10 (12:46):
I remember when Netflix only did DVDs and you would
get a mailed to your house.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yeah yeah, good times.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah times.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
But that was your version of Blackbuster. And I was
talking to someone the other day. Fifty million bucks, I believe,
was the number Netflix offered to sell to Blockbuster for
five zero fifty million dollars and now they're worth like
fifty billion.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Wow, let me see it again up the other day.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No excuse me, five hundred and sixteen billion dollars. So
Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for five zero fifty million,
and instead they said no, why would we do that? Well,
Blockbuster will need you now. Blockbuster's gone and they're worth
five hundred and sixteen billion dollars.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
One Blockbuster left.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
In vand Oregon. Yeah. Yeah, there was a whole documentary
about him. How they like, I don't know how they
do it.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I don't know where they're getting all the DVDs from. I
don't know ry someone's basement. Yeah, I don't know how
it's all working.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Don't sell DVDs, you guys, it's like target.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well okay, but how do you play it? I mean,
like I just actually donated a bunch of DVDs because well,
I guess everyone that's true, you don't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I always he's a huge gamer, but he's a switch
to guy now, you know, more of a switch to
switch one or no, certainly not, certainly not.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah, I mean I'm scared I haven't sent you three
already because you know you're on the cutting edges as
a gaming influencer, right well yeah, the gay yeah, the game,
the game board for sure.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
You get that. Lock that down, right, I know a.
Speaker 11 (14:26):
Podcast you're gaming jam okay, so on this eight five
five five one three five, and you can call him
text the same number.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But well stay here, because so these are the things,
well you you are your gen x why why why?
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I don't know what all those things are. And then
you guys just keep saying letters and now I'm really confused. Okay,
So these are things that basically that our parents would
have most of our parents would have a us to do.
And I just want to get your reaction to like
how this would have gone in your house. Then again,
your parents are a little while. Your parents are are
a little I mean, I've talked to your moms. She's
a little while. Apparently your dad's trite and believes that
(15:11):
he needs airtime now too to speak about his mayoral duties,
which is not happening because I can't. I can't provide
equal time to your whole family, Nor can I provide
equal time to the entire you know, political uh uh,
you know the landscape of California. There are actual election
laws against this. His competitor would have to get equal airtime.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I don't know's it doesn't have a competitor.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Well, he wouldn't add, you know. Yeah, so he ran unopposed,
So he did he's gain to him, why opinion and
why is he writing about it?
Speaker 8 (15:40):
He's just jealous that my mom is on air.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
He's just jealous.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
I'm sure your dad's a lovely man. But if he
ran unopposed, I mean that's he volunteered basically.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Those campaign dollars.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
If no one ran against him, he didn't really win
or lose. He just sort of is Okay. Anyway, here's
my question. I want to know from the people at
home and the people in the room, and then you,
as the youngest member, how this would have gone on
in your house. For example, Okay, were you allowed to
just well you kind of grew up in it. Did
you always grow up in kind of a smaller town. Yeah,
(16:11):
maybe maybe this doesn't apply as much to you. But
were you allowed to just roam the neighborhood?
Speaker 4 (16:16):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (16:17):
It depends, my It depends how old I was, if
I was in trouble, like you know, like grounded. When
you were old enough and not in trouble, could you roam? Yeah,
for the most part, But like my mom would want
to know where.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well, I'm not talking about the time where you were
grounded or sleeping fellow, I mean, like, were you allowed
I'm wondering if you were allowed on a time when
you were conscious, ungrounded, not in jail, right when the
weather was nice, you know, when the most parts and
people weren't protesting, were you.
Speaker 12 (16:49):
Able to within the neighborhood. Yeah, okay, you could in
my neighborhood. I'm a different reality, Like that doesn't seem
real having you guys are having a conversation. I'm having
a conversation. She's having a conversation. It's not the same conversation.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So because because like as kids, like when I was young,
it was and it was just you know, ride your bike, go,
just go, And there was no way really for us
to get you know, there were no cell phones. Maybe
a pager, but I didn't have one really. I mean,
there was really no way to know where we were,
what we were doing. I mean they were payphones, but
we didn't really use those. And it was like, hey,
(17:25):
go at you know, nine am or whatever, and just
come back before it gets dark, which in Arizona in
the summer is like ten o'clock at night. And I'm
not saying my parents didn't care, but they did. There
was nothing was happening.
Speaker 10 (17:35):
See, that was that's where we differ. I had to
have a cell phone, so I wasn't allowed to roam.
You weren't really roaming, So I wasn't really roaming. I
mean like it felt like I was, but not really.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
Were you allowed to go to someone's house whose parents
your parents didn't know?
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yes, Okay, so you could do that? Yes, because I
guess that's the thing, and that's that didn't happen. Mean,
my wife was all kinds of people's houses and parties
and stuff, and my parents didn't ask where I was or.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Or who the people. They didn't interview the parents ahead
of time. They didn't call over there and see what
was going on. They weren't They weren't logged into the
live stream, you know, on YouTube or whatever to see. Okay,
So you were allowed to go to people's home so
your parents didn't know.
Speaker 10 (18:18):
My parents were like, thank god, Okay, were you.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Allowed or slash When you're given the opportunity to go
hang out in the mall all day?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Was that even a thing you could do? Yes?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Because that was something when we were like before we
could drive, that was what like three or four dudes
in the weekend we get dropped off of the mall,
and then three or four girls had dropped off of
the mall and it was essentially a date, but it
wasn't a date. And we would we didn't have any money,
so we could maybe eat, maybe we had money to eat,
you know, but like, yeah, we would just walk around
in circles in the mall. And you know, it was
(18:50):
like a little flirty walk. I dabbled kind of thing. Okay,
so you were able to do well. Here there are
people going up right now who don't even probably know
there are a town for them. There is all right,
or there's nothing there to do, so like you wouldn't
walk around them all okay. And by the way, this
is a list that was made by a website. It's
(19:11):
eleven things that parents of gen X kids did that
would be considered a neglect today.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
My parents neglected me.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
I guess. So were you expected to cook your own food?
Apparently now you don't have to cook your own food?
Did you dangerous or something?
Speaker 10 (19:25):
I always cooked with my parents because my parents are chefs,
so I like they wanted me to learn how to cook.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Okay, that was a big thing.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
Like if you wanted to make something and you were
eight years old or ten, and they weren't there. Maybe
that wasn't even a thing either, But I mean, were
you allowed to, you know, tear on the stove and
cook an egg or something if you wanted to?
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I would. The thing is I was really.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
Lucky because I grew up with a house with a
lot of food, so I never really had that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
You never had to cook it.
Speaker 10 (19:50):
Okay, well I did, but like not like I never
cooked eggs by myself or anything.
Speaker 4 (19:54):
Bus I'm the youngest, so my sister was always home.
I was never really alone.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You hit people serving on you, serving you?
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Are your nieces and nephews who are much younger, are
they allowed to do any of this stuff?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Like can they go roam the neighborhood?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
And they can go to the park, But there's cell
phones with locations on them, so that doesn't really count.
They're not allowed to cook. Everybody gets door dash or
uber eats.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Now, okay, so that's okay, So don't turn the stove
on that because you might burn the house down or whatever.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I know, I was crying up pork chops at teams.
You know, you're making spaghetti, oh.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, noodles, rice and you had to make rice, and
you had to make eggs. Oh oh yeah, and you
had to make mac and cheese. Oh yeah, No, there
was no. It was an order of peacha every time
you're hungry. No, no, interesting. I didn't touch a stove
till I was definitely in my twenties. We talked about
this yesterday, making babies cry it out. I guess that's
not a thing that people do anymore. It's just let
(20:47):
the baby cry out. Because Nauline was talking about how
little baby Gigi, you know, gets mad and stuff and
like hits and whatever at one year old, which is
you know, and tells her mom to f off and
you know, leave and stuff like that. That's crazy and
one's angston that kid already. But you know, the thing
was you just let them have the outburst and just
let them do it. But I do think that like
(21:07):
in this day and age, you know, people would be
annoyed or they would actually think you were not doing
your job if your kid freaks out in the store
and you just let them freak out and walk around
like that.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Right, yeah, I mean that's what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I thought as a parent, But I don't know that
people wouldn't call CPS on you. Now if you were
walking around you know, the jewel or the Walgreens or whatever,
and your kid was just screaming because you just weren't
going to deal with the fact that you were going
to buy them the popsicles or the toy or whatever.
The cops show up for that like abuse now or something.
Letting kids figure things out themselves. Ignoring school bullies now,
(21:40):
this is a more controversial topic because bullying has gotten
far more sophisticated now. I mean, it's the same spirit
of idiots saying mean things to other people because they're
projecting that they're actually the loser, which is the thing
that your parents always tell you when you're growing up,
Like when the kid's making fun of you and saying
mean things about you, it's like, well, this person actually
very instqut about themselves, and they make that you know,
(22:01):
it's a terrible quality that someone people to make themselves
feel better by putting you down and so, and you're
going to grow up to be really successful and great,
so don't worry about them, you know. That's that's the
advice I got about bullies. But my parents weren't calling
to school saying, don't bully my kid. My parents weren't
calling the parents, but my parents were like, this is
part of life and people are always going to be
(22:21):
a holes And that's true to this day. And I'm
forty four years old and there are still people who
get off on other people's failures and me so like,
if you're not equipped for that, then I don't know
how well you're going to do in the real world.
But I I will admit you know it's it's gotten
far more dramatic, far more drastic. The accessibility with technology
and social media and the ways that people are bullying
(22:43):
are far vaster than they were. But as it pertains
to just kids being mean to kids, I don't know
how much of their that there is anymore. How did
your parents deal with you being bullied?
Speaker 4 (22:53):
Well, my dad's Italian, so children.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Rps of that. And there's a big hole in your backyard.
Speaker 10 (23:01):
So he said, put me on the ratio, there lay
cards outside, So I put your.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Hair and I let her speak freely. She doesn't even
know my name.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
I know, Jeff. No.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
My dad my mom would give very opposite advice.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
My dad's like, let me know who they are. I
want to talk to them.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
I was like, he's like very confrontational, and my mom's
just like who cares, just like blow it off their losers.
And so I would never really listen to my dad
in that sense. I mean, like a couple of times
I did, and I probably shouldn't have, but I tried
to stick with what my mom said because it felt
a little.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
More ration when you egged the car. Oh, yeah, that
is true. Maybe I am like my dad. I did.
I Okay, it sounds like your.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Dad would actually kill people with his bare hands, and
you egged the car, so you're.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Not like you're going to a car.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I threw poop at the people's car.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Here's my Oh I thought I thought you were going
to say your poop.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
I was worried about in this segment is you're not
the person to talk to you? Okay?
Speaker 4 (24:07):
Are you a bully? No?
Speaker 10 (24:09):
Somebody eggs my house and I didn't even know who
they were, and so I retaliated with dog poop.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
That's what it's giving.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Okay, So your parents basically raise you like you were
one of us, So this is not you're not the
person to talk.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
To but so sorry, and like the.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Bullying thing I know, I'd look like and someone's going
to text up here and go, oh, the you know,
terrible example of this. And then yes, of course there
are extreme examples, and there are ways that people are
bullying now that they couldn't bully a stend. But I
do say that there's something too kids being mean to kids,
and you've got to teach your kids how to manage
that because it's not going to go away in adulthood.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And so like if you take your kid out of school,
or if.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
You I don't know a lot of different things that
I've heard of people do or homeschool your kid simply
because you don't want to expose them to certain things
that are mean. I understand that that sort of desire,
But like what happens then when it's time for your
kid to go out and get a job and be
in the real world and someone's mean to them and
they don't know what you how to cope with that
or what to do because it's going to happen because
(25:07):
people are mean.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Oh yes, my dad taught me how to punch mine.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Is that bad?
Speaker 1 (25:12):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But the rule in our house was don't hit unless
you have men hit. If you get hit, then you
can hit. That was my thing, yes, and that's different for.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
What I got first on the butt with a stick.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Yeah, when we were.
Speaker 8 (25:23):
In kindergarten, and so my dad taught me how to
throw a punch kindergarten.
Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, yeah, throw a punch.
Speaker 8 (25:27):
And so the next day he said, there he is,
and I punched him.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
I mean, if boy, I guess if a man hits
a woman the Italian you can do what you gotta
do a.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Man, it's a woman. He was a little boy, He's
really fine, that's what.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Well, that's what I just said.
Speaker 8 (25:40):
Though, I just said, you hit a welt on my butt.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
So she was little and it was just she was
a child.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
But like if a man hits a woman, then you know,
a woman can retell you in whatever way she pleases,
except you know, poop.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
There too.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Hey, Jose, Jose, Okay, why do we call Jose? Like,
why do we call the radio station and then we
don't say anything?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Maybe put him on hold and then pick him back
up one more time, Jose, because like I hear that
there's like a phone on. Okay, Well that was fun, thanks, Jose.
I agree with you.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
That was what insightful one insightful feedback there and honestly,
the middle, the middle part of that call touched me
the most. I think where he really got into his
childhood and.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Talked about it was like when he was talking, time
had no meaning.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
He could have gone on forever.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
It was for me, it was poetic, like the guy
is the true orator. Like a lot of people say that,
like like uh, Barack Obama can speak, and Martin Luther came.
But when Jose talks to me, it's like I'm the
only person in the room. I'm a different person, you
know what I mean, Kiki A true speaker. Yeah, he
was great, a true orator.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Yeah, I was. I was totally just locked in on
everything he had to say. I feel like, Jose, know,
your mic is very much and you can speak.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What an incredible speech.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
Okay, Well anyway, I was just I was wondering if
any of this related to you, because because you do
represent that generation, but I think your parents made it
such that none of that represents you.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, it's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
You can go now and the Paly they can come
back have a nice day, because that's that's where we're
at now, is with this, we have to switch people physically,
switch human beings so that we have enough people to
do the jobs rather and the doors. No, we don't
really follow directions.

As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
