Speaker 2 (00:49):
What are you working on?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Kay?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I will tell you who reunited with the judge that
prosecuted them in the early two thousands. Also, Will Smith
talks about for the first time what happened after the
infamous slap.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We're still talking about that.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Apparently I don't want to, but.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Okay, it's your obligation, must it must be done as
a true journalist that you are. It's exhausting on Kiki's court.
EA's next butt a ball girl. Close your legs.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's a fresh show. It's Kiki's Court. All rise, The
Honorable Kikileik is here. Judge Kiki, if you would present
your case, all.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Right, let's get into the courtroom. The gavel has been hit,
it says Judge Kiki. Am I wrong for skipping my
sister's baby shower? So my younger sister is pregnant with
her fifth child by her second husband, and she's living
back at my parents' house. Her ex is a deadbeat,
her current husband can't hold a job, and my parents
(01:46):
have basically been carrying her financially for years.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
We're talking school.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
Fees, medical bills, lawyer bills, you name it. Now she's
having another baby and expects yet another baby shower.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
My ma is upset that I.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Won't help decorate or hosts like I've done in the past,
But honestly, I feel like going would just be me
co signing her irresponsible choices. My parents are supposed to
be enjoying retirement, not raising her kids and paying her bills.
I love my niece and nephews, but enough is enough.
Someone in the family has to draw the line. And
(02:22):
it looks like that person is me. So am I
a jerk for refusing to go to the baby shower?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
First of all, how many? How many baby showers? Do
you know? How many crib?
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I guess you need another crib because you go, But
I mean, don't you have enough stuff by now?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
I would think so, like what happened to maybe number
four stuff?
Speaker 8 (02:39):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
How about baby number one? Baby number one's in college?
Now you know? Yes, what do you think? Kiki?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Well, you know y'all get mad at me when I
don't have sympathy for people who make terrible decisions in life.
Damn well, take all the smoke on this one, because
I do not think she is wrong. At some point,
when you are not financially where you need to be,
you need to close your legs because I'm let me
take something when my money is funny. I don't even
have the urge to do what you do to make
(03:07):
babies like I don't even come one talk to nobody.
I'm not in a joyful spirit. You you know, you
go through a hard time. I understand that you went
through a bad divorce. I understand that it's okay to
move back sometimes you have a husband.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Okay, somebody need to go to work and keep a job.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
And then and if you can't keep a job and
you can't go to work, then you need to stop
having children because who's paying for this? And then the
poor parents? You know, and I have I come from
a family of my sister. You know, she loves her
grandchildren down she'll do anything for her grandchildren. But if
I was to ever see one of my siblings taking
advantage of her in her retirement, I'm absolutely gonna speak up.
(03:48):
You should it's not the pay, it's not our parents'
responsibility to raise your children. Loud, but you know it's
that's not fair to do.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's Yeah, maybe she should have used some of that
money she barred from her parents and gotten some birth control.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Hello, I mean that's responsible, that's real. Listen. I've always
said this too.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
Like if you are not in a good place, like
I think having a child maybe isn't the best decision
we're making right now right.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I was always saying that she's always she always walking
around saying, hey, you you don't look like you're in
a spot for this.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
You don't look as a mother. I can tell you firsthand.
It is expensive. It is hard. It is everything you
can think of. Okay, it is beautiful, but it is hard.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
And I also feel like maybe she should.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
Work on picking her man correctly, Like, I think that's
another thing.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
We got to work out with this girl.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Hello, you guys are the journey though eight five five
five nine one three five. You have to call it
today because the text is down because we've got to
pay the bill.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I guess, but we call now. I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I don't think that's unfair. I really don't. And I
know that accidents happened. I realize that it's possible, very
possible to have a kid when you're not when you're
as you would say, when your money is funny mm hmm.
But I mean, when we're on the fifth one. Come on,
at what point do we need to take responsibility for ourselves?
It was probably four kids ago, you know, when we're
not having our parents pay our bills, what is this?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Dude? Doing who's knocking you up? Why is he not
doing this?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, I feel terrible for these kids, honestly, because
there's no accountability here. You know, I'm sure their quality
of life is affected by the fact that that the
resources aren't there. And now you got grandma and grandpa
having to pay for all this, and then I guess,
you know, another baby shower, so we're it's just more
people enabling I'm with you, Kiki. I'm sorry, but you know,
(05:30):
you can call up here and you can say what
you want, but this stuff does happen, but it doesn't
happen five times.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Right, and you're at home with our parents. They have
worked hard to enjoy their retirement and I'm sure they
love having the kids there, but they should not be
taken on the financial burden of raising your children. You know,
they should be enjoying themselves, going on vacations, going you know,
to travel and do things, not raising your kid paying
(05:56):
for school fees and oh my goodness, it just seems
like you're just irresponsible and everybody in the family is
like enabling this because they keep having parties for these kids.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
That you keep bringing it to the family financially supporting
and so.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Your point earlier, Kiki, there are two adults involved here,
right right, So if one needs to stay and raise
the kids, understandable because now you've got five of them.
But well, what's the other person doing?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And I mean clearly they're good at making babies. So
and where are his parents? Where are you're in laws?
Maybe you can stay over their house a couple of months, yeah, Alison,
good morning, Alison there Hi, Hey, Alison Keky's court. So
just to recap here, this woman is on you know,
(06:43):
working on child number five. Well, she already worked on it.
It's already done, it was worked on, it's on the way.
There's another baby shower, another baby shower, except this woman
who who is reaching out to judge Kiki is like,
I don't think I should have to support this because
my parents support this whole family, we've all been supporting this.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What do you think.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I completely agree that it's irresponsible for her to continue
to have children, but I also think that once that
child is born and grows up, they might feel some
type of way about the sister not attending her baby shower.
And she went to all the other kids baby showers,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
My niece nephew type get that.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Yeah, yeah, because if my aunts didn't go to mind,
but once all my other siblings, I'd be like, you know,
she kind of stringled out.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I hear what you're saying, Alison, But almost nobody who
is at my mom's baby shower for me is still
in the picture. Dad's not even in the picture. So
I mean, I think she has she has a right
to be frustrated by this.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I guess that the sentiment of this child coming and
and you sort of not celebrating that. At the same time, though,
I can understand why everybody in the family is exasperated.
It's like, especially when it's her parents having to pay
for all this, and I guess in some ways the
rest of the family too is supplementing this behavior. And again,
I'll say it again, I know that this stuff just
(08:11):
happens sometimes, but how many times has it happened and
you're not able to be responsible about it and provide
for it before you come up with another way?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Yeah, that is true, But then I also think she's
looking out for her parents. Then it is just going
to stress the parents out more if she's not going
to help them at all because then they're going to
have to do it all by themselves.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Well, and these poor parents and what are they supposed
to do?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, I don't have to go back to work.
This is I know, it's terrible. Alison. Thank you, have
a good day. Love you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Normally I wouldn't I'm not sure that I would do this,
but but I would really like to hear from Hadley.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Now, Hadley is ten years old.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Hadley, All, Hi, Hedley, Hi, Hi? Now you are ten
years old. Now you you heard this and you feel
and kind of way about it? Now?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What did you want to say? Hadley?
Speaker 10 (09:04):
I want to just say that I think it's okay
that she skipped out on this one because this is
their first kid. They they should have gone to the
other ones. And if you're financially not okay and you
have your parents helping you, you shouldn't be able to
have another baby and then have another baby shower, you
know what.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's exactly right, Cadley, that is fantastic. Yeah, Now you
is your mom there with you? Or did you just
are you listening about yourself? You just called on your own.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
My dad's here with me.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Can I talk to your dad? Yeah, let me talk
to your dad.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Hello, dad, I just want to I want to give
you a random A plus that is a ten year
old that knows what's up.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Random applause is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
How happy were you to hear that from your ten
year old? You shouldn't have a baby unless you can
afford it. How happy did that make you?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
When I heard that, I was like, I have anything to.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Worry about them. This sounds good to me. That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You could start planning your retirement because your daughter, Hardley
knows what's up. Hey, thank you, guys, have a great day.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's the kind of responsible Yeah, that's the kind of
responsibility we need to hear it in today's youth.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Just you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
It's more responsible than our own girl over the day,
our own old girl.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, you remember that, Hadley, You remember that you called
up here and said that, Okay, hey Rebecca, good morning,
Good morning, Rebecca. You got to follow up a ten
year old who just educated all of us. But what
would you like to say in.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Tiki scored, I would just like to say that I
will hardly agree with Tiki. I have actually found myself
in a position I am forty, married for almost twenty years.
I have a fourteen year old son, and I felt
pregnant recently, not expected, but you know, with the economy
in today's age, it's really expensive to raise children, and
(10:56):
I don't know how anybody can do five children. That
is outrageous. It's ridiculous to think and expect your parents
and your family members to help you raise these kids nowadays.
And so, you know, my husband and I had to
sit down look at our finances and can we give
the life we want to give to our fourteen year
old if we have a second child. Now I also
(11:18):
have medical conditions, and it was like, do we want
to put myself through that just to risk you know,
my life and the baby's life. So, you know, ultimately
we came to the decision that it wasn't for us,
you know, because my health problems and financially, we didn't
think we could give our fourteen year old the life
he you know, deserves to have. So, you know, like
(11:38):
tough decisions do have to be made, but we were
very responsible and knew that like it just wasn't in
the future for us. It's not in our plans, and
it's about time that woman was sat down by family
members and she's informed of how stressful this is for
the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, Rebacca, I said, that's a heavy situation. And I
you know, I respect you Colin and sharing your story. Uh,
you know, I hope your health is okay and uh
and all of that. But yeah, I mean, it's uh,
it's it's a responsibility when you pull that thing out.
So uh, Rebecca, thank you the day glad you called. Yeah,
(12:17):
I mean, I all I can say is every time
my sister, you know, asked my parents for something, I'm
just thinking, this is my inheritance. Okay, you know every time.
Every time, it's every single time, it's you know, what
do you buy those kids?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Now? Mom?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know that's that's coming out of my piece, you
know what I mean. And that's all I'm thinking.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
You're not wrong when my brothers keep having kids, I
do add it up and.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
What's left forlox, you know what I'm saying, Like, come on.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
No, I'm kidding, But you know it's whenever my mom
is with Polly, it's just like a total free for all,
you know, and all the stuff that we never got
to do, like we went to somewhere recently went to
a bowling alley and Pollie's like, I want to play
video games and my mom's just whipping out twenties like
it's nothing. I'm like, where were those when I was
ten years old? You wouldn't give me nothing. And every
time I see this little girl come back with all
(13:06):
these little tickets and all this stuff, I'm like, you know,
I could retire earlier, but no, they know probably had
to play the little game, so I understand. But I
think when it comes down to Kiki, is that you know,
how many times do you have to do do you
make decisions that affect your family before? And I know
these things happen, and what are you supposed to do?
But like maybe address alternatives like birth control or abstinence.
(13:32):
I don't know, I really don't know what the answer is,
but like, how many times do you get to have
other people fulfill your obligations before they have a right
to just say I can't help you anymore, Like it's
time for me to retire, It's time for me. I
already did this, you know. If I'm her parents, I'm like,
I already raised you guys, and now I'm raising for
(13:54):
your kids. I can't do five right.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
And when do you start to feel some type of
self accountability, like when do you feel bad?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
You know, when do you apologize?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
When do you get up and try to go get
a job to help out with all the children you're creating.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't understand all right, well, Kiki Clusy Ladies Caitlin's
Entertainer Report and he's on the Bread Show.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
The national judge who prosecuted Jelly Role in the early
two thousands has now partnered with the country singer to
support at risk youth. Judge Jim Todd is now serving
as a special prosecutor for violent and gang related juvenile offenders.
His experiences have driven him to advocate for positive change
and mentorship and having similar experiences Jelly Roll, you know,
(14:39):
feels a similar kind of passion for giving back to
the community and troubled kids. Together, they are working to
provide a guidance and a support system to these young people,
aiming to break the cycle of crime and offer hope
for a better future. Will Smith was a guest on
the All the Smoke podcasts and he got super emotional
(15:01):
while he was talking about what happened the night after
the infamous moment when he slapped Chris Rock.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
At the Oscars.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And I believe this is the first time he's spoken
about that night itself.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Right, Man, that was a horrific night to you for me.
Speaker 12 (15:17):
Yeah, yeah, I made the real ones who understood I'm
gonna stand up for my wife whether I'm right or
wrong in any place.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So I understood that what you.
Speaker 12 (15:27):
Say, nobody can't make me think that anything.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You did was wrong. Let me tell you one of
the worst because I was right there.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
And I get home and my nephew nine years old.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
His name's Don He.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Is the sweetest kid in the world, you know. Him
and my sister live with me, and I'm sitting we
got these bean bags in the kitchen. I'm sitting in
the kitchen and he's sitting between my leg and he's
holding the oscar.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
And he goes, why you hit that man, Uncle Will?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
And I was like, oh.
Speaker 11 (15:59):
Him, And it's like, you know, I'm gonna be crying.
Somebody got a tissue and it was I got one,
I got money, And it was like, I say, I
knew y'all was Miami, right.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You can't explain it to him. He stayed up late.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Wait, the funk, will you know? And it was like,
you know, I can, I can do all the justifications forever.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
He won't understand.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
He can't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Don't know, guys, and you I mean, come for me
if you want. But I know what was that. I
felt like I was in a saloon or something. Literally,
there's tumble weeds going down the street or whatever. It's
a it's a doll's, it's a draw at dawn.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, that's what I mean. Come for me. But I
I'm all for.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Defending the honor of your partner and if it comes to,
you know, needing to protect that person physically, I'm all
for that too. But Chris Rock is a comedian and
he addressed something that's been out there for a very
long time and that no one has dispelled. You know,
that they have an open kind of thing going on.
I guess I don't know that it's okay just to
(17:11):
go start swinging on people in that setting. Maybe it's
something that you handle privately, but I guess I'm not
one hundred percent sure that I don't agree with that
take where it's oh, you know, I defend you because
that's your wife, and defend your wife even if you're
I don't know guys.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Yeah, that was the host of the show saying that.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
So I hope that Will is taking more responsibility than that.
I think the comment that ticked him off was about
her alopecia. But again, it's not an excuse to go
up and smack someone who's doing their job.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I mean, handle it later.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
But it was an interesting take on, Like I had
to try to tell my nephew why I did it,
and I couldn't give him a reason.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But yeah, I don't remember the joke was it about it?
I didn't, I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, she has alopecia, it was, yeah, yeah, the reason
I thought it was about them being swingers, but uh, that's.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Usually the joke to that's just what it is. So
I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, but I'm not sure that that was the right
thing to do there.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
No, he very clearly was like going through something in
addition to whatever takes him off, because that was that
was a wild thing to see.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
But I thought that was an interesting tid.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
But it looks like despite their divorce, sam Ascari still
has Britney's back. He took a shot at Kevin Federline
when he was asked about his upcoming memoir, where Kevin
talks about all kinds of things, of course, including his
relationship with Brittany and their children.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Kevin was married to britt from two.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Thousand and five to two thousand and seven and they
share two kids together. And when asked what he thinks
about this upcoming book, Sam who settled his own divorce
from Britney last May, simply responded, so it would be
the first book that would tell you how to be
a professional father, which was a slight shady dig a' lah.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Having Brittany's back.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
The memoir You Thought You Knew will be out October
twenty first and focus on quote fame, fatherhood and the
private cost of public life. And lastly, Real Quick Weapons
won the weekend for the second week in a row
at the box office with twenty five million. Freakier Freakier Friday,
which is a title to say I, came in second.
Nobody Too opened but came in at number three. The
(19:15):
Fantastic Four First Steps and The Bad Guys Too came
in fourth and fifth, respectively, and then Sydney Sweeney's Americana
made five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Dollars at least that American Eagle does.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Right, she has good jeans.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But from she only premiered in one thy one hundred
and ten locations. I should be specific, but she came
in sixteenth five hundred dollars. Guys, Well that's about we're
in comparison to the rest of the movies. It's giving
five hundred sixteenth place. But again it wasn't open in
every location. I have to who have set that?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But which means that two people attended, because that's how
much it costs to go to a movie. Yes, Freudian, Wow,
the Fred Show is on Fred's Fun Fact.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Fred's one.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So much I changed my mind. Well, I'll tell you
the other one. It was a fruit fact. The strawberry
is the only fruit that has the seeds on the
outside of the fruit. Not that good. I changed my mind.
I feel a lot of pressure to impress Kiki with
the fun fact every day, like checking up with a
better one. Did you know that Tupac was the first
(20:32):
US artist to have an album reached Billboard number one
while still in prison. It was his third studio album,
titled Me Against the World, that hit number one while
he was in prison. That was a long time ago,
but it seems very common now that artists are in prison,
so I'm sure will happen again, potentially more Fred show
(20:53):
next right here.

We'll get to the biggest stories of the day, headlines,

Speaker 2 (00:49):
What are you working on?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Kay?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I will tell you who reunited with the judge that
prosecuted them in the early two thousands. Also, Will Smith
talks about for the first time what happened after the
infamous slap.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
We're still talking about that.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Apparently I don't want to, but.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
I have to.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Okay, it's your obligation, must it must be done as
a true journalist that you are. It's exhausting on Kiki's court.
EA's next butt a ball girl. Close your legs.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
It's a fresh show. It's Kiki's Court. All rise, The
Honorable Kikileik is here. Judge Kiki, if you would present
your case, all.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
Right, let's get into the courtroom. The gavel has been hit,
it says Judge Kiki. Am I wrong for skipping my
sister's baby shower? So my younger sister is pregnant with
her fifth child by her second husband, and she's living
back at my parents' house. Her ex is a deadbeat,
her current husband can't hold a job, and my parents
(01:46):
have basically been carrying her financially for years.
Speaker 6 (01:50):
We're talking school.
Speaker 7 (01:51):
Fees, medical bills, lawyer bills, you name it. Now she's
having another baby and expects yet another baby shower.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
My ma is upset that I.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
Won't help decorate or hosts like I've done in the past,
But honestly, I feel like going would just be me
co signing her irresponsible choices. My parents are supposed to
be enjoying retirement, not raising her kids and paying her bills.
I love my niece and nephews, but enough is enough.
Someone in the family has to draw the line. And
(02:22):
it looks like that person is me. So am I
a jerk for refusing to go to the baby shower?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
First of all, how many? How many baby showers? Do
you know? How many crib?
Speaker 7 (02:31):
Mean?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I guess you need another crib because you go, But
I mean, don't you have enough stuff by now?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
I would think so, like what happened to maybe number
four stuff?
Speaker 8 (02:39):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
How about baby number one? Baby number one's in college?
Now you know? Yes, what do you think? Kiki?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Well, you know y'all get mad at me when I
don't have sympathy for people who make terrible decisions in life.
Damn well, take all the smoke on this one, because
I do not think she is wrong. At some point,
when you are not financially where you need to be,
you need to close your legs because I'm let me
take something when my money is funny. I don't even
have the urge to do what you do to make
(03:07):
babies like I don't even come one talk to nobody.
I'm not in a joyful spirit. You you know, you
go through a hard time. I understand that you went
through a bad divorce. I understand that it's okay to
move back sometimes you have a husband.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
Okay, somebody need to go to work and keep a job.
Speaker 7 (03:27):
And then and if you can't keep a job and
you can't go to work, then you need to stop
having children because who's paying for this? And then the
poor parents? You know, and I have I come from
a family of my sister. You know, she loves her
grandchildren down she'll do anything for her grandchildren. But if
I was to ever see one of my siblings taking
advantage of her in her retirement, I'm absolutely gonna speak up.
(03:48):
You should it's not the pay, it's not our parents'
responsibility to raise your children. Loud, but you know it's
that's not fair to do.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's Yeah, maybe she should have used some of that
money she barred from her parents and gotten some birth control.
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Hello, I mean that's responsible, that's real. Listen. I've always
said this too.
Speaker 9 (04:06):
Like if you are not in a good place, like
I think having a child maybe isn't the best decision
we're making right now right.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I was always saying that she's always she always walking
around saying, hey, you you don't look like you're in
a spot for this.
Speaker 9 (04:20):
You don't look as a mother. I can tell you firsthand.
It is expensive. It is hard. It is everything you
can think of. Okay, it is beautiful, but it is hard.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
And I also feel like maybe she should.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
Work on picking her man correctly, Like, I think that's
another thing.
Speaker 6 (04:32):
We got to work out with this girl.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Hello, you guys are the journey though eight five five
five nine one three five. You have to call it
today because the text is down because we've got to
pay the bill.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I guess, but we call now. I don't.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I don't think that's unfair. I really don't. And I
know that accidents happened. I realize that it's possible, very
possible to have a kid when you're not when you're
as you would say, when your money is funny mm hmm.
But I mean, when we're on the fifth one. Come on,
at what point do we need to take responsibility for ourselves?
It was probably four kids ago, you know, when we're
not having our parents pay our bills, what is this?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Dude? Doing who's knocking you up? Why is he not
doing this?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
I mean, I feel terrible for these kids, honestly, because
there's no accountability here. You know, I'm sure their quality
of life is affected by the fact that that the
resources aren't there. And now you got grandma and grandpa
having to pay for all this, and then I guess,
you know, another baby shower, so we're it's just more
people enabling I'm with you, Kiki. I'm sorry, but you know,
(05:30):
you can call up here and you can say what
you want, but this stuff does happen, but it doesn't
happen five times.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Right, and you're at home with our parents. They have
worked hard to enjoy their retirement and I'm sure they
love having the kids there, but they should not be
taken on the financial burden of raising your children. You know,
they should be enjoying themselves, going on vacations, going you know,
to travel and do things, not raising your kid paying
(05:56):
for school fees and oh my goodness, it just seems
like you're just irresponsible and everybody in the family is
like enabling this because they keep having parties for these kids.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
That you keep bringing it to the family financially supporting
and so.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Your point earlier, Kiki, there are two adults involved here,
right right, So if one needs to stay and raise
the kids, understandable because now you've got five of them.
But well, what's the other person doing?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Like?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And I mean clearly they're good at making babies. So
and where are his parents? Where are you're in laws?
Maybe you can stay over their house a couple of months, yeah, Alison,
good morning, Alison there Hi, Hey, Alison Keky's court. So
just to recap here, this woman is on you know,
(06:43):
working on child number five. Well, she already worked on it.
It's already done, it was worked on, it's on the way.
There's another baby shower, another baby shower, except this woman
who who is reaching out to judge Kiki is like,
I don't think I should have to support this because
my parents support this whole family, we've all been supporting this.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
What do you think.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
I completely agree that it's irresponsible for her to continue
to have children, but I also think that once that
child is born and grows up, they might feel some
type of way about the sister not attending her baby shower.
And she went to all the other kids baby showers,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (07:23):
My niece nephew type get that.
Speaker 8 (07:27):
Yeah, yeah, because if my aunts didn't go to mind,
but once all my other siblings, I'd be like, you know,
she kind of stringled out.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I hear what you're saying, Alison, But almost nobody who
is at my mom's baby shower for me is still
in the picture. Dad's not even in the picture. So
I mean, I think she has she has a right
to be frustrated by this.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I guess that the sentiment of this child coming and
and you sort of not celebrating that. At the same time, though,
I can understand why everybody in the family is exasperated.
It's like, especially when it's her parents having to pay
for all this, and I guess in some ways the
rest of the family too is supplementing this behavior. And again,
I'll say it again, I know that this stuff just
(08:11):
happens sometimes, but how many times has it happened and
you're not able to be responsible about it and provide
for it before you come up with another way?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Yeah, that is true, But then I also think she's
looking out for her parents. Then it is just going
to stress the parents out more if she's not going
to help them at all because then they're going to
have to do it all by themselves.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Well, and these poor parents and what are they supposed
to do?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You know?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, I don't have to go back to work.
This is I know, it's terrible. Alison. Thank you, have
a good day. Love you.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Normally I wouldn't I'm not sure that I would do this,
but but I would really like to hear from Hadley.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Now, Hadley is ten years old.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Hadley, All, Hi, Hedley, Hi, Hi? Now you are ten
years old. Now you you heard this and you feel
and kind of way about it? Now?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What did you want to say? Hadley?
Speaker 10 (09:04):
I want to just say that I think it's okay
that she skipped out on this one because this is
their first kid. They they should have gone to the
other ones. And if you're financially not okay and you
have your parents helping you, you shouldn't be able to
have another baby and then have another baby shower, you
know what.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's exactly right, Cadley, that is fantastic. Yeah, Now you
is your mom there with you? Or did you just
are you listening about yourself? You just called on your own.
Speaker 10 (09:34):
My dad's here with me.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Can I talk to your dad? Yeah, let me talk
to your dad.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Hello, dad, I just want to I want to give
you a random A plus that is a ten year
old that knows what's up.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Random applause is fantastic.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
How happy were you to hear that from your ten
year old? You shouldn't have a baby unless you can
afford it. How happy did that make you?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
When I heard that, I was like, I have anything to.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Worry about them. This sounds good to me. That's right.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You could start planning your retirement because your daughter, Hardley
knows what's up. Hey, thank you, guys, have a great day.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
All right.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
That's the kind of responsible Yeah, that's the kind of
responsibility we need to hear it in today's youth.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Just you know what I mean.
Speaker 9 (10:17):
It's more responsible than our own girl over the day,
our own old girl.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, you remember that, Hadley, You remember that you called
up here and said that, Okay, hey Rebecca, good morning,
Good morning, Rebecca. You got to follow up a ten
year old who just educated all of us. But what
would you like to say in.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Tiki scored, I would just like to say that I
will hardly agree with Tiki. I have actually found myself
in a position I am forty, married for almost twenty years.
I have a fourteen year old son, and I felt
pregnant recently, not expected, but you know, with the economy
in today's age, it's really expensive to raise children, and
(10:56):
I don't know how anybody can do five children. That
is outrageous. It's ridiculous to think and expect your parents
and your family members to help you raise these kids nowadays.
And so, you know, my husband and I had to
sit down look at our finances and can we give
the life we want to give to our fourteen year
old if we have a second child. Now I also
(11:18):
have medical conditions, and it was like, do we want
to put myself through that just to risk you know,
my life and the baby's life. So, you know, ultimately
we came to the decision that it wasn't for us,
you know, because my health problems and financially, we didn't
think we could give our fourteen year old the life
he you know, deserves to have. So, you know, like
(11:38):
tough decisions do have to be made, but we were
very responsible and knew that like it just wasn't in
the future for us. It's not in our plans, and
it's about time that woman was sat down by family
members and she's informed of how stressful this is for
the rest of them.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Well, Rebacca, I said, that's a heavy situation. And I
you know, I respect you Colin and sharing your story. Uh,
you know, I hope your health is okay and uh
and all of that. But yeah, I mean, it's uh,
it's it's a responsibility when you pull that thing out.
So uh, Rebecca, thank you the day glad you called. Yeah,
(12:17):
I mean, I all I can say is every time
my sister, you know, asked my parents for something, I'm
just thinking, this is my inheritance. Okay, you know every time.
Every time, it's every single time, it's you know, what
do you buy those kids?
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Now? Mom?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You know that's that's coming out of my piece, you
know what I mean. And that's all I'm thinking.
Speaker 7 (12:38):
You're not wrong when my brothers keep having kids, I
do add it up and.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
What's left forlox, you know what I'm saying, Like, come on.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
No, I'm kidding, But you know it's whenever my mom
is with Polly, it's just like a total free for all,
you know, and all the stuff that we never got
to do, like we went to somewhere recently went to
a bowling alley and Pollie's like, I want to play
video games and my mom's just whipping out twenties like
it's nothing. I'm like, where were those when I was
ten years old? You wouldn't give me nothing. And every
time I see this little girl come back with all
(13:06):
these little tickets and all this stuff, I'm like, you know,
I could retire earlier, but no, they know probably had
to play the little game, so I understand. But I
think when it comes down to Kiki, is that you know,
how many times do you have to do do you
make decisions that affect your family before? And I know
these things happen, and what are you supposed to do?
But like maybe address alternatives like birth control or abstinence.
(13:32):
I don't know, I really don't know what the answer is,
but like, how many times do you get to have
other people fulfill your obligations before they have a right
to just say I can't help you anymore, Like it's
time for me to retire, It's time for me. I
already did this, you know. If I'm her parents, I'm like,
I already raised you guys, and now I'm raising for
(13:54):
your kids. I can't do five right.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
And when do you start to feel some type of
self accountability, like when do you feel bad?
Speaker 6 (14:00):
You know, when do you apologize?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
When do you get up and try to go get
a job to help out with all the children you're creating.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't understand all right, well, Kiki Clusy Ladies Caitlin's
Entertainer Report and he's on the Bread Show.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
The national judge who prosecuted Jelly Role in the early
two thousands has now partnered with the country singer to
support at risk youth. Judge Jim Todd is now serving
as a special prosecutor for violent and gang related juvenile offenders.
His experiences have driven him to advocate for positive change
and mentorship and having similar experiences Jelly Roll, you know,
(14:39):
feels a similar kind of passion for giving back to
the community and troubled kids. Together, they are working to
provide a guidance and a support system to these young people,
aiming to break the cycle of crime and offer hope
for a better future. Will Smith was a guest on
the All the Smoke podcasts and he got super emotional
(15:01):
while he was talking about what happened the night after
the infamous moment when he slapped Chris Rock.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
At the Oscars.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
And I believe this is the first time he's spoken
about that night itself.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Right, Man, that was a horrific night to you for me.
Speaker 12 (15:17):
Yeah, yeah, I made the real ones who understood I'm
gonna stand up for my wife whether I'm right or
wrong in any place.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So I understood that what you.
Speaker 12 (15:27):
Say, nobody can't make me think that anything.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You did was wrong. Let me tell you one of
the worst because I was right there.
Speaker 11 (15:34):
And I get home and my nephew nine years old.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
His name's Don He.
Speaker 11 (15:38):
Is the sweetest kid in the world, you know. Him
and my sister live with me, and I'm sitting we
got these bean bags in the kitchen. I'm sitting in
the kitchen and he's sitting between my leg and he's
holding the oscar.
Speaker 5 (15:52):
And he goes, why you hit that man, Uncle Will?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
And I was like, oh.
Speaker 11 (15:59):
Him, And it's like, you know, I'm gonna be crying.
Somebody got a tissue and it was I got one,
I got money, And it was like, I say, I
knew y'all was Miami, right.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You can't explain it to him. He stayed up late.
Speaker 11 (16:15):
Wait, the funk, will you know? And it was like,
you know, I can, I can do all the justifications forever.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
He won't understand.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
He can't.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
You know, I.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Don't know, guys, and you I mean, come for me
if you want. But I know what was that. I
felt like I was in a saloon or something. Literally,
there's tumble weeds going down the street or whatever. It's
a it's a doll's, it's a draw at dawn.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Yeah, that's what I mean. Come for me. But I
I'm all for.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Defending the honor of your partner and if it comes to,
you know, needing to protect that person physically, I'm all
for that too. But Chris Rock is a comedian and
he addressed something that's been out there for a very
long time and that no one has dispelled. You know,
that they have an open kind of thing going on.
I guess I don't know that it's okay just to
(17:11):
go start swinging on people in that setting. Maybe it's
something that you handle privately, but I guess I'm not
one hundred percent sure that I don't agree with that
take where it's oh, you know, I defend you because
that's your wife, and defend your wife even if you're
I don't know guys.
Speaker 5 (17:28):
Yeah, that was the host of the show saying that.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
So I hope that Will is taking more responsibility than that.
I think the comment that ticked him off was about
her alopecia. But again, it's not an excuse to go
up and smack someone who's doing their job.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I mean, handle it later.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
But it was an interesting take on, Like I had
to try to tell my nephew why I did it,
and I couldn't give him a reason.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
But yeah, I don't remember the joke was it about it?
I didn't, I can't remember.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, she has alopecia, it was, yeah, yeah, the reason
I thought it was about them being swingers, but uh, that's.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
Usually the joke to that's just what it is. So
I don't believe.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I mean, I get it, I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, but I'm not sure that that was the right
thing to do there.
Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
No, he very clearly was like going through something in
addition to whatever takes him off, because that was that
was a wild thing to see.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
But I thought that was an interesting tid.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
But it looks like despite their divorce, sam Ascari still
has Britney's back. He took a shot at Kevin Federline
when he was asked about his upcoming memoir, where Kevin
talks about all kinds of things, of course, including his
relationship with Brittany and their children.
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Kevin was married to britt from two.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Thousand and five to two thousand and seven and they
share two kids together. And when asked what he thinks
about this upcoming book, Sam who settled his own divorce
from Britney last May, simply responded, so it would be
the first book that would tell you how to be
a professional father, which was a slight shady dig a' lah.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Having Brittany's back.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
The memoir You Thought You Knew will be out October
twenty first and focus on quote fame, fatherhood and the
private cost of public life. And lastly, Real Quick Weapons
won the weekend for the second week in a row
at the box office with twenty five million. Freakier Freakier Friday,
which is a title to say I, came in second.
Nobody Too opened but came in at number three. The
(19:15):
Fantastic Four First Steps and The Bad Guys Too came
in fourth and fifth, respectively, and then Sydney Sweeney's Americana
made five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Dollars at least that American Eagle does.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Right, she has good jeans.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
But from she only premiered in one thy one hundred
and ten locations. I should be specific, but she came
in sixteenth five hundred dollars. Guys, Well that's about we're
in comparison to the rest of the movies. It's giving
five hundred sixteenth place. But again it wasn't open in
every location. I have to who have set that?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
But which means that two people attended, because that's how
much it costs to go to a movie. Yes, Freudian, Wow,
the Fred Show is on Fred's Fun Fact.
Speaker 9 (20:00):
Fred's one.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
So much I changed my mind. Well, I'll tell you
the other one. It was a fruit fact. The strawberry
is the only fruit that has the seeds on the
outside of the fruit. Not that good. I changed my mind.
I feel a lot of pressure to impress Kiki with
the fun fact every day, like checking up with a
better one. Did you know that Tupac was the first
(20:32):
US artist to have an album reached Billboard number one
while still in prison. It was his third studio album,
titled Me Against the World, that hit number one while
he was in prison. That was a long time ago,
but it seems very common now that artists are in prison,
so I'm sure will happen again, potentially more Fred show
(20:53):
next right here.
