Fread Show.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
It's Kiki's Court, Judge, Kiky all rise for the honorable judge, Kiki,
your honor.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Yes, take it away? All right, let's seven to the courtroom.
The gavel has been hit. It says, Hey, Ki, Ki,
am I wrong for making my husband miss his interview? Okay,
my thirty five year old husband has been out of
work for six months. I've been carrying the bills on
my salary and working overtime to keep us afloat. Last week,
(01:18):
he finally got an interview for a job he's been
chasing for years, which has truly been a dream opportunity
for him. I was excited and relieved, and the interview
was scheduled at nine am. He said he'd wake up
by seven thirty to prepare. However, the night before he
stayed up until two am playing video games.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I was reminding him.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Twice that he needed to get up, and he waved
me off and got snappy. So the next morning I
got up at six forty five to go to work.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He was still dead asleep.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
His alarm started blaring at seven thirty and I watched
him snooze it three times. At this point, to avoid
an argument, I decided I'm not waking him up and
left for work. He finally woke up at nine point fifteen,
missed the interview, completely freaked out and called me at
work asking me why didn't I wake him, and I
told him, you're not a child.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
He was livid and.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Said that I was passive, aggressive, unsupportive, and that I
sabotaged him. Now he's not talking to me, and even
his mother called me to say I should have had
his back. I think he needed this wake up call.
But now I'm wondering if I crossed the line. Am
I wrong? Judge Kicky, girl, You're not wrong, girl, you
(02:32):
are not wrong. If his mother want to get involved,
she should have called him.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Mother's always cay.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I backed off, right, yes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But no, you're not wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
This is a grown man who has been unemployed for
six months. You don't have anything else to do but
prepare for this interview. Okay, you have no other obligations
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Lazy person with no job is that's a bad combination.
I mean, and things happen.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
People lose their jobs every day, so I don't want
to even say it's just a lazy person, but this story.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
But you're right, No, yeah, I'm talking about this. I mean,
six months no job, and then when you have the
job interview, you don't take it seriously.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That to me is not responsible.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
And then your wife is warning you, like women tend
to do, you know, give you a little reminder and
you get snappedy.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
She did, and she did look out for him, she hey,
let's get some rest before this interview.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, and then you're like nah.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
And you keep playing your video games.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And then now now says you were a little petty
because you were there as the alarm was going off.
That was a little petty. You know, she watched them,
she watched some snoozy alarm. But she was like, I'm
not arguing with you, and she left.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's not up to her.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The her argument that I would make, though, is abo
about this sleeping through the alarm and her being aware
of that is this affects her negatively too. So you know,
she may have taught him a lesson, but it doesn't
sound like he's someone who's going to interpret that lesson
very well. And ultimately, now this is another job he
won't get. So how does that affect her negatively? How
did that behavior really? Did it really penalize him or
(04:08):
did it really penalize her?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I think at this point she I would be considering
some other things because if this is maybe this may
not be a first time offender where you sleeping through alarms.
You might sleep through alarms all the time, and maybe
that's why you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Have a job.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Ah, are you guys with the jury eight five, five, five, nine,
one one three five. She could have woken him up.
I wouldn't have either. But then I guess if I
don't wake him up and he doesn't have a job
and I want to stay with him, then that's on
me at some point, like I've chosen this life, did
you though?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, because again, no job for six months. I know
that it's hard to get a job. Yeah, it's very
difficult to get a job right now. But the behavior
like this is not going to your point, might be
the reason why he doesn't have a job exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And so then the question is is.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
She gonna motivate him, she's gonna wake him up, Is
she gonna, you know, push him out the door, try
and help him? And she doesn't have to do that,
but if she doesn't do that, then he's probably never
going to get one. And then if she stays with him,
then she's choosing that life.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
So you say, leave them all together, divorce, Yeah, but
you just said that too, So don't you'll talk about
like I don't even say I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
The only one that said that.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
You're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You said the same thing.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I think, honestly, at some point you got to ask
you and I this is a one time deal.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Maybe he didn't want this. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
There could be other parameters here, but I wonder, I
wonder if this is just kind of not his mentality.
And if that's the case, then maybe this is what
you're up against for you know, as a mentality. And
maybe this is you know, if you choose to continue
to be with this person and they choose to make
those kind of choices and you can't really complain too
much to other people.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Yeah, right, But tough priorities though, like instead of maybe
playing video games at night. And maybe this is a
little bit different, but why don't you do some side
hustle like go, you know, drive for uber or do
door dash or do something to bring an income?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Again, Yes, getting a job is very hard and it's not.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Like they're just handing them out these days, but I
think you can still bring in some income.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
I think you can still have that drive to do it.
He seems like he doesn't want to do it, right,
That's what I'm getting. I don't know this man. I
don't want to know this man, but it just seems
like he doesn't want that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Because if jobs are hard to get, and you want
a job, and you're well intentioned, and you have a
job interview that might be the one night that you
take it seriously, yes, and that you don't stay up,
and that you make sure that you're awake and that
you're at the job interview you and you do your
best to get the job. But again, I gotta wonder
does this guy even care?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Right?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
And then I remind you about it and I'm up
late telling you to go to bed, and you get
snappy with me, and I've been compaying these meals for
six months alone, working over time, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Then then for him to turn around and gaslight her
and be like, somehow this is your fault, right, you sabotage.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
He was waiting for that opportunity at Batah.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No, but I will say, and this is that this
is not her fault. But how long does this go
And we don't have all the context, but how long
does this go on before you need to start making
choices for you that may not involve this person anymore?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
That's real?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know? Hey, Brian? Yes, how you doing? Brian? Good
morning Kiki's Court. You're the jury? What say you?
Speaker 9 (07:08):
I wanted to know what it would it be the
same if the show was on all the footnet of
the woman that was out of work, Because me and
get a bad rep sometimes and my wife has been
out of work for over two years, and I'll still
pay the bills and do what I got to do
for my family, and that's considered being a man. But
when it's when it's turned around, you know, why don't
we put as much heat on a woman not being
(07:29):
able to find a job?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well out here for everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I hear what he's saying, but doesn't But doesn't that
depend on sort of the parameter within your relationship and
what you guys have decided. For example, if you two
have decided together collectively that you both need to work
to maintain your lifestyle and there's no intensity for her
to live up to her end of the deal, I
don't I don't necessarily know that this has to be
(07:52):
gender based, right If you have agreed to take care
of the family and she's taking care of the house
and the kids, well that's a job, so that you
I mean, So I guess I guess what I said
is is, yeah, he sounds like a deadbeat, But I
don't know you know your wife. Is your life predicated
on her working too? Are you having to do twice
as much now or or or is that not the
(08:15):
deal that you have?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
We we we downgraded our lifestyle. So it's a lot
of things that we don't do in order to in
order for us to stay financially safe. But it's a
lot of things that I would like to, like my family,
go back to doing, if my wife would see it,
back to work. But for right now, we're maintaining everything.
We have a home, two cars, and we're doing okay
(08:38):
because I get the whole men work.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, I hear, I hear you, right, I hear the
men providing, the man providing thing and whatever. But I
guess what I would be thinking about is, regardless of
your gender, what what are our roles? What have we
decided we're going together? Who's going to pay what bills?
What have we decided? And are you living up to
what you agreed to do? And if the answer is no,
then that would be my problem. I wouldn't necessarily be well,
(09:01):
you're the man, so you should or whatever, only if
that's what we decided.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But thank you, Brian, having the day, no problem Brian her.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Some job links. Brian will how to get back to work.
Yeah he does, he does.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
What if she's raising kids, though it sounds like she's
holding it down at home. He didn't seem to upset
that when Fred was kind of, you know, explaining that situation.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
But yeah, again, it's what did they agree to and you're.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Playing video games that night? That's what I really wanted
to know. I'm very triggered by this.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, it's right because and is she's still expecting the
same life that they had before, but yet she doesn't
have a job. I mean, there's so many different aspects
of this, but I guess I would say, whatever relationship
you're in, if you live with someone else and you're
expected to do this, and you're expected to do that,
and then you stop doing the part that we agreed
to together that you're going to do, that would be
my problem.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I agree with that. As a wife, I agree with them.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
If I if we say, hey, I'm going to stay
home and I'm going to take care of the kids,
and I'm going to take care of the house, and
I'm gonna take care of all these other things, and
I'm not going to bring in an income.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I need you to go make up make the income. Well,
then I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I wouldn't pressure her to make money because we agreed
that she's going to do the other things that we'd
have to pay someone to do.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Exactly, and all parties need to be clear on the agreement. Yes,
you know, sometimes people just wake up and decide that
they're done working.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Like, excuse me, excuse me, cue Like somebody said, she
could have woke him up. It could have relieved the press,
It could have relieved the pressure off of her. Again,
I mean, what she did didn't exactly help her cause,
but she didn't have to do it right.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
She shouldn't be obligated to wake a grown man up
who has been off for six months.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
What else are you doing, my boy?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah? I would have been.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I would have been sitting on a computer waiting at
four in the morning, you know, on my.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Tux and the alarm thing triggers me to like, who
can't wake up to an alarm?
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Yes, Like, even when I had roommates, it's going off,
it's going on, Get up up.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I would I would have woken him up and left
for work. This way, it's on him. She's also married
to a man child. Yeah, I mean, Mike, Mike, Mike,
Mike saying leave this man.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, just he didn't sleep through the alarm.
Speaker 10 (11:07):
He snoozed it three times.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's a good point.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
He wake up.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
So this is not he's just not motivated. You're saying
it's a good likelihood that this isn't going to change.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
I'm like you, guys, I got a four m alarm
every day.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
That's right, Go off, king, put your boots on the ground,
go to work.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah yeah, and that turns killing you on junk mail,
deliberate chunk mail.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Hey, we need you.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yes, no, thank you, thank you, yes, thank you so much.
Have a good day, Mike. That's right, hard working man
right there, he said enough of us, Yeah, Mike, he
said what he said, right, that's right.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Yeah, Mike was triggered too.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
He was lost for words.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Almost superior, right, like a good man, Samannah, he's a
little bit speak.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Listen, hey, Sarah, Sarah, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (12:06):
I'm doing well? How are you guys?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Great? Thank you for calling him for listening.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
So Kicky's Court, basically, this woman's with a guy has
been out of work for six months, had a job interview,
chose to stay up all night playing video games. Lauren
went off. He didn't get up for the interview. She
wants it all go down, didn't do anything about it.
Now he's mad at her.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
What say you?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Not okay.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
My husband had the same issue when we first had
our twins. He lost his job during COVID. We had
our twins in twenty twenty, and he would stay up
late playing video games because he thought he could handle it.
He was so sleep deprived that he ended up sleepwalking.
And he wasn't helping me at all with the twins,
and they were newborns, and it got so bad that
(12:47):
we were fighting every day. And I finally told him
I'm not your mother, and if you want to go
have someone be a mother to, you can move back
in with your mother. And I think he realized that
I was serious, and he shaped up and never even
touched a video game at all after that.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, and that sucks that you kind of had to
put the fire under his butt, but sometimes people need that.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean, at least you gave him a chance to
clean it up.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So I not acceptable, because you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Know, people go through stuff in life and they get
depressed or whatever. And your job as a partner, I'm
sure would beat it to lift him up, but for
how long?
Speaker 10 (13:23):
Right?
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Right? And shame on the mother in law for even
stepping in. Honestly, if that was one of my boys,
I would have been like, you're not moving back in here,
fix it with your wife.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Do better.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I raised you better than that.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well that, yes, I'll go ahead and say it. Maybe
we know where the problem lies. Hello, you know, thank you, Sarah,
I have.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
A good day. Thank you, because we all I.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Think sometimes people think they're doing kids a favor when
they always have their back, But I think sometimes people
are They're going to be a product of what of
what they were raised as and what their parents continue
to enable. Right, So if every time he's up he
calls mom, and mom calls and yells at the wife,
well then what is why would he Where is he
(14:04):
getting the idea that he needs to do better?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Because it's like, no, he's no, that's my baby boy,
he's perfect. Well, he's not taking care of his obligations,
so he's not perfect. He's hurting her, yes he is,
but maybe he feels enabled by it because Mom's going
to solve his problems every time.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Hey do you wanna yes, Hi, Hi, good morning. What
do you think?
Speaker 10 (14:25):
Good morning? I love you guys. I want to say
that he totally is gaslighting her. Yeah, he is just
fifting the blame. He hits snooze three times like it's
not for responsibility. I agree with you, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, he's totally guess lit her.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Not for responsibility to make sure that he gets up
and goes to the interview, like he.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Said, Moby's solving your problems. Come on, I'd be so embarrassed.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I didn't raise him like that.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Oh, yes you did, Miss Shirley, and I feel as
so women.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
We feel like we're the moms of our partners sometimes
in certain situations, and we shouldn't.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Yeah, that's true, you know what I mean. No, I'm
not your memory.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
On The Fread Show, Katie Perry's concert took a scary
turn last night when a fan collapsed on stage just
moments after being invited up. She was performing in Detroit
and a little over an hour into the show, she
invited a group of young fans on stage for like
this little sing along segment she does. One of the
girls burst into tears and Katie hugged her but just
(15:30):
before Katie started singing, the emotional fan went down.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
She passed out.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
It looks like Katie immediately rushed her side, crouching next
to the girl alongside security and other staffers from the arena.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
One fan or excuse me.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Once the fan was helped off stage, Katie then gathered
the remaining girls for a group hug, and she actually
prayed for the one who passed out. The fan was
treated backstage at the first aid area, where her mom
joined her. Thank goodness, so hoping she's okay. But I
think Katie handled it the best way that she could,
because it was certainly unexpected. In happier concert news, Serena
Carpenter headline Lallapalooza in Chicago last night.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
She gave us outfit changes.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
She did all of her hits, all the songs of
the summer, and she actually brought out Earth, Wind and Fire,
which I bet none of you guys she was gonna do,
but they did September and Let's Groove elsewhere. Olivia Rodrigo
brought out Wheezer, which was really cool. Gracie Abrams brought
out Robin for Dancing on my Own, so lots of
fun surprises and the city is going back to normal today.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
I can feel it.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
They got to go in Grand Park where they have
Lalla plus apparently incleaned a bunch of people who win
number two in the in the lawn.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, I uh.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
We were just talking about that off air. People were
dutying on the line.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Why was it port of potties like full or gross
or like? What was the purpose of that? Or was
it because I saw it on TikTok And then someone
textas morning, so did you see that?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Why were we doing that?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I could understand how I'd be your best bet, but
I have no idea why someone would duty on the grounds.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I would not do that. Ever, No, I was
asking I had heard you did it? Yeah, I was asking.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, now a shovel with you in your little in
your little pack that stage praight.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
So I can't barely do that in the bathroom, honey.
So I'm not I'm not doing it lallapalooza. But yeah,
I don't know why you know say, but that's disgusting.
President Trump was asked about the possibility of a pardon
for Ditty, and Trump called the rapper quote sort of
half innocent, but said past criticism from Diddy made clemency
less likely, so I guess that's how he's going to decide.
(17:27):
He said a pardon at this time would probably be
a no, so that answers that. Actress and singer Mandy
Moore is calling out a hit and run driver who
rear ended her family's car before sweeeding off. She posted
on Instagram, hope your karma finds you. Thankful everyone was okay,
but shocked by the careless actually didn't say who was
in the car, wrote that no one was injured, but
this crash comes during a really tough year, including losing
(17:48):
their home to the wildfires. So that's awful and your
karma will find you and really quick. Lastly, Jelly Roll
made his w WE debut Saturday.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
He crushed it. I feel like he was made for
that world.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
He is actually going viral for a moment when logan
Paul leapfrogged onto him while he was lying on the
announcer's table. So if you see jelly World trending, it
might be because of that. If you missed any part
of our show, by the way, and you want to
catch up, it's all up there to tape The Frend
Show on demand and if you could set us as
a preset on the free I Heard radio.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
App The Fread Show is on Fread's fun fact Fred fund.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So much guys gives you know. The hippopotamuses can't swim hip,
which there's a fun fact right there. The hippopo hippopotamus
is doesn't even something of a real word.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Oh it's not.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Hippopotami is not.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Hippopotamuses cannot swim. You see him in the water, but
they can't really swim. Their bones are large and dance,
making it hard for them to float. Instead, they do
kind of a slow motion gallop on the riverbed or
the seafloor.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'll sell you.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Something else I didn't know is there are people that
can't float, like humans that are like very dense and muscle.
I guess they can't float and they have a hard
time learning how to swim, which yeah, I've heard about
like a few like my friend Gideon. I don't have
that either, who have like no fat in their body,
like zero fat, you know percentage. He doesn't float very well,
(19:21):
so he doesn't swim. He doesn't really swim. I never
knew that Gideon couldn't float. I know it's fascinating.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
It's Kiki's Court, Judge, Kiky all rise for the honorable judge, Kiki,
your honor.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
Yes, take it away? All right, let's seven to the courtroom.
The gavel has been hit. It says, Hey, Ki, Ki,
am I wrong for making my husband miss his interview? Okay,
my thirty five year old husband has been out of
work for six months. I've been carrying the bills on
my salary and working overtime to keep us afloat. Last week,
(01:18):
he finally got an interview for a job he's been
chasing for years, which has truly been a dream opportunity
for him. I was excited and relieved, and the interview
was scheduled at nine am. He said he'd wake up
by seven thirty to prepare. However, the night before he
stayed up until two am playing video games.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I was reminding him.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Twice that he needed to get up, and he waved
me off and got snappy. So the next morning I
got up at six forty five to go to work.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
He was still dead asleep.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
His alarm started blaring at seven thirty and I watched
him snooze it three times. At this point, to avoid
an argument, I decided I'm not waking him up and
left for work. He finally woke up at nine point fifteen,
missed the interview, completely freaked out and called me at
work asking me why didn't I wake him, and I
told him, you're not a child.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
He was livid and.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
Said that I was passive, aggressive, unsupportive, and that I
sabotaged him. Now he's not talking to me, and even
his mother called me to say I should have had
his back. I think he needed this wake up call.
But now I'm wondering if I crossed the line. Am
I wrong? Judge Kicky, girl, You're not wrong, girl, you
(02:32):
are not wrong. If his mother want to get involved,
she should have called him.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Mother's always cay.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
I backed off, right, yes.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But no, you're not wrong.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
This is a grown man who has been unemployed for
six months. You don't have anything else to do but
prepare for this interview. Okay, you have no other obligations
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Lazy person with no job is that's a bad combination.
I mean, and things happen.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
People lose their jobs every day, so I don't want
to even say it's just a lazy person, but this story.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
But you're right, No, yeah, I'm talking about this. I mean,
six months no job, and then when you have the
job interview, you don't take it seriously.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That to me is not responsible.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
And then your wife is warning you, like women tend
to do, you know, give you a little reminder and
you get snappedy.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
She did, and she did look out for him, she hey,
let's get some rest before this interview.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, and then you're like nah.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
And you keep playing your video games.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
And then now now says you were a little petty
because you were there as the alarm was going off.
That was a little petty. You know, she watched them,
she watched some snoozy alarm. But she was like, I'm
not arguing with you, and she left.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's not up to her.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
The her argument that I would make, though, is abo
about this sleeping through the alarm and her being aware
of that is this affects her negatively too. So you know,
she may have taught him a lesson, but it doesn't
sound like he's someone who's going to interpret that lesson
very well. And ultimately, now this is another job he
won't get. So how does that affect her negatively? How
did that behavior really? Did it really penalize him or
(04:08):
did it really penalize her?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Well?
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I think at this point she I would be considering
some other things because if this is maybe this may
not be a first time offender where you sleeping through alarms.
You might sleep through alarms all the time, and maybe
that's why you don't.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Have a job.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Ah, are you guys with the jury eight five, five, five, nine,
one one three five. She could have woken him up.
I wouldn't have either. But then I guess if I
don't wake him up and he doesn't have a job
and I want to stay with him, then that's on
me at some point, like I've chosen this life, did
you though?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well?
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah, because again, no job for six months. I know
that it's hard to get a job. Yeah, it's very
difficult to get a job right now. But the behavior
like this is not going to your point, might be
the reason why he doesn't have a job exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And so then the question is is.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
She gonna motivate him, she's gonna wake him up, Is
she gonna, you know, push him out the door, try
and help him? And she doesn't have to do that,
but if she doesn't do that, then he's probably never
going to get one. And then if she stays with him,
then she's choosing that life.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
So you say, leave them all together, divorce, Yeah, but
you just said that too, So don't you'll talk about
like I don't even say I'm.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
The only one that said that.
Speaker 7 (05:16):
You're not wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
You said the same thing.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I think, honestly, at some point you got to ask
you and I this is a one time deal.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Maybe he didn't want this. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
There could be other parameters here, but I wonder, I
wonder if this is just kind of not his mentality.
And if that's the case, then maybe this is what
you're up against for you know, as a mentality. And
maybe this is you know, if you choose to continue
to be with this person and they choose to make
those kind of choices and you can't really complain too
much to other people.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Yeah, right, But tough priorities though, like instead of maybe
playing video games at night. And maybe this is a
little bit different, but why don't you do some side
hustle like go, you know, drive for uber or do
door dash or do something to bring an income?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
Again, Yes, getting a job is very hard and it's not.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Like they're just handing them out these days, but I
think you can still bring in some income.
Speaker 7 (06:03):
I think you can still have that drive to do it.
He seems like he doesn't want to do it, right,
That's what I'm getting. I don't know this man. I
don't want to know this man, but it just seems
like he doesn't want that.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Because if jobs are hard to get, and you want
a job, and you're well intentioned, and you have a
job interview that might be the one night that you
take it seriously, yes, and that you don't stay up,
and that you make sure that you're awake and that
you're at the job interview you and you do your
best to get the job. But again, I gotta wonder
does this guy even care?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Right?
Speaker 5 (06:28):
And then I remind you about it and I'm up
late telling you to go to bed, and you get
snappy with me, and I've been compaying these meals for
six months alone, working over time, sir.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Then then for him to turn around and gaslight her
and be like, somehow this is your fault, right, you sabotage.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
He was waiting for that opportunity at Batah.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
No, but I will say, and this is that this
is not her fault. But how long does this go
And we don't have all the context, but how long
does this go on before you need to start making
choices for you that may not involve this person anymore?
Speaker 7 (07:01):
That's real?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You know? Hey, Brian? Yes, how you doing? Brian? Good
morning Kiki's Court. You're the jury? What say you?
Speaker 9 (07:08):
I wanted to know what it would it be the
same if the show was on all the footnet of
the woman that was out of work, Because me and
get a bad rep sometimes and my wife has been
out of work for over two years, and I'll still
pay the bills and do what I got to do
for my family, and that's considered being a man. But
when it's when it's turned around, you know, why don't
we put as much heat on a woman not being
(07:29):
able to find a job?
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Well out here for everybody.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I hear what he's saying, but doesn't But doesn't that
depend on sort of the parameter within your relationship and
what you guys have decided. For example, if you two
have decided together collectively that you both need to work
to maintain your lifestyle and there's no intensity for her
to live up to her end of the deal, I
don't I don't necessarily know that this has to be
(07:52):
gender based, right If you have agreed to take care
of the family and she's taking care of the house
and the kids, well that's a job, so that you
I mean, So I guess I guess what I said
is is, yeah, he sounds like a deadbeat, But I
don't know you know your wife. Is your life predicated
on her working too? Are you having to do twice
as much now or or or is that not the
(08:15):
deal that you have?
Speaker 9 (08:17):
We we we downgraded our lifestyle. So it's a lot
of things that we don't do in order to in
order for us to stay financially safe. But it's a
lot of things that I would like to, like my family,
go back to doing, if my wife would see it,
back to work. But for right now, we're maintaining everything.
We have a home, two cars, and we're doing okay
(08:38):
because I get the whole men work.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Yeah, I hear, I hear you, right, I hear the
men providing, the man providing thing and whatever. But I
guess what I would be thinking about is, regardless of
your gender, what what are our roles? What have we
decided we're going together? Who's going to pay what bills?
What have we decided? And are you living up to
what you agreed to do? And if the answer is no,
then that would be my problem. I wouldn't necessarily be well,
(09:01):
you're the man, so you should or whatever, only if
that's what we decided.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
But thank you, Brian, having the day, no problem Brian her.
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Some job links. Brian will how to get back to work.
Yeah he does, he does.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
What if she's raising kids, though it sounds like she's
holding it down at home. He didn't seem to upset
that when Fred was kind of, you know, explaining that situation.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
But yeah, again, it's what did they agree to and you're.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Playing video games that night? That's what I really wanted
to know. I'm very triggered by this.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, it's right because and is she's still expecting the
same life that they had before, but yet she doesn't
have a job. I mean, there's so many different aspects
of this, but I guess I would say, whatever relationship
you're in, if you live with someone else and you're
expected to do this, and you're expected to do that,
and then you stop doing the part that we agreed
to together that you're going to do, that would be
my problem.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I agree with that. As a wife, I agree with them.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
If I if we say, hey, I'm going to stay
home and I'm going to take care of the kids,
and I'm going to take care of the house, and
I'm gonna take care of all these other things, and
I'm not going to bring in an income.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I need you to go make up make the income. Well,
then I don't.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I wouldn't pressure her to make money because we agreed
that she's going to do the other things that we'd
have to pay someone to do.
Speaker 5 (10:02):
Exactly, and all parties need to be clear on the agreement. Yes,
you know, sometimes people just wake up and decide that
they're done working.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Like, excuse me, excuse me, cue Like somebody said, she
could have woke him up. It could have relieved the press,
It could have relieved the pressure off of her. Again,
I mean, what she did didn't exactly help her cause,
but she didn't have to do it right.
Speaker 5 (10:27):
She shouldn't be obligated to wake a grown man up
who has been off for six months.
Speaker 7 (10:32):
What else are you doing, my boy?
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah? I would have been.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
I would have been sitting on a computer waiting at
four in the morning, you know, on my.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Tux and the alarm thing triggers me to like, who
can't wake up to an alarm?
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Yes, Like, even when I had roommates, it's going off,
it's going on, Get up up.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
I would I would have woken him up and left
for work. This way, it's on him. She's also married
to a man child. Yeah, I mean, Mike, Mike, Mike,
Mike saying leave this man.
Speaker 7 (11:03):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, just he didn't sleep through the alarm.
Speaker 10 (11:07):
He snoozed it three times.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's a good point.
Speaker 7 (11:09):
He wake up.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
So this is not he's just not motivated. You're saying
it's a good likelihood that this isn't going to change.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
I'm like you, guys, I got a four m alarm
every day.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
That's right, Go off, king, put your boots on the ground,
go to work.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Yeah yeah, and that turns killing you on junk mail,
deliberate chunk mail.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Hey, we need you.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yes, no, thank you, thank you, yes, thank you so much.
Have a good day, Mike. That's right, hard working man
right there, he said enough of us, Yeah, Mike, he
said what he said, right, that's right.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Yeah, Mike was triggered too.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
He was lost for words.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Almost superior, right, like a good man, Samannah, he's a
little bit speak.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Listen, hey, Sarah, Sarah, how you doing?
Speaker 6 (12:06):
I'm doing well? How are you guys?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Great? Thank you for calling him for listening.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
So Kicky's Court, basically, this woman's with a guy has
been out of work for six months, had a job interview,
chose to stay up all night playing video games. Lauren
went off. He didn't get up for the interview. She
wants it all go down, didn't do anything about it.
Now he's mad at her.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
What say you?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
Not okay.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
My husband had the same issue when we first had
our twins. He lost his job during COVID. We had
our twins in twenty twenty, and he would stay up
late playing video games because he thought he could handle it.
He was so sleep deprived that he ended up sleepwalking.
And he wasn't helping me at all with the twins,
and they were newborns, and it got so bad that
(12:47):
we were fighting every day. And I finally told him
I'm not your mother, and if you want to go
have someone be a mother to, you can move back
in with your mother. And I think he realized that
I was serious, and he shaped up and never even
touched a video game at all after that.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah, and that sucks that you kind of had to
put the fire under his butt, but sometimes people need that.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I mean, at least you gave him a chance to
clean it up.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
So I not acceptable, because you.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Know, people go through stuff in life and they get
depressed or whatever. And your job as a partner, I'm
sure would beat it to lift him up, but for
how long?
Speaker 10 (13:23):
Right?
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Right? And shame on the mother in law for even
stepping in. Honestly, if that was one of my boys,
I would have been like, you're not moving back in here,
fix it with your wife.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Do better.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
I raised you better than that.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Well that, yes, I'll go ahead and say it. Maybe
we know where the problem lies. Hello, you know, thank you, Sarah,
I have.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
A good day. Thank you, because we all I.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Think sometimes people think they're doing kids a favor when
they always have their back, But I think sometimes people
are They're going to be a product of what of
what they were raised as and what their parents continue
to enable. Right, So if every time he's up he
calls mom, and mom calls and yells at the wife,
well then what is why would he Where is he
(14:04):
getting the idea that he needs to do better?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Because it's like, no, he's no, that's my baby boy,
he's perfect. Well, he's not taking care of his obligations,
so he's not perfect. He's hurting her, yes he is,
but maybe he feels enabled by it because Mom's going
to solve his problems every time.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Hey do you wanna yes, Hi, Hi, good morning. What
do you think?
Speaker 10 (14:25):
Good morning? I love you guys. I want to say
that he totally is gaslighting her. Yeah, he is just
fifting the blame. He hits snooze three times like it's
not for responsibility. I agree with you, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, he's totally guess lit her.
Speaker 10 (14:44):
Not for responsibility to make sure that he gets up
and goes to the interview, like he.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Said, Moby's solving your problems. Come on, I'd be so embarrassed.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I didn't raise him like that.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Oh, yes you did, Miss Shirley, and I feel as
so women.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
We feel like we're the moms of our partners sometimes
in certain situations, and we shouldn't.
Speaker 7 (15:05):
Yeah, that's true, you know what I mean. No, I'm
not your memory.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
On The Fread Show, Katie Perry's concert took a scary
turn last night when a fan collapsed on stage just
moments after being invited up. She was performing in Detroit
and a little over an hour into the show, she
invited a group of young fans on stage for like
this little sing along segment she does. One of the
girls burst into tears and Katie hugged her but just
(15:30):
before Katie started singing, the emotional fan went down.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
She passed out.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
It looks like Katie immediately rushed her side, crouching next
to the girl alongside security and other staffers from the arena.
Speaker 7 (15:41):
One fan or excuse me.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Once the fan was helped off stage, Katie then gathered
the remaining girls for a group hug, and she actually
prayed for the one who passed out. The fan was
treated backstage at the first aid area, where her mom
joined her. Thank goodness, so hoping she's okay. But I
think Katie handled it the best way that she could,
because it was certainly unexpected. In happier concert news, Serena
Carpenter headline Lallapalooza in Chicago last night.
Speaker 7 (16:05):
She gave us outfit changes.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
She did all of her hits, all the songs of
the summer, and she actually brought out Earth, Wind and Fire,
which I bet none of you guys she was gonna do,
but they did September and Let's Groove elsewhere. Olivia Rodrigo
brought out Wheezer, which was really cool. Gracie Abrams brought
out Robin for Dancing on my Own, so lots of
fun surprises and the city is going back to normal today.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
I can feel it.
Speaker 6 (16:30):
Right.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
They got to go in Grand Park where they have
Lalla plus apparently incleaned a bunch of people who win
number two in the in the lawn.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, yeah, I uh.
Speaker 7 (16:36):
We were just talking about that off air. People were
dutying on the line.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
Why was it port of potties like full or gross
or like? What was the purpose of that? Or was
it because I saw it on TikTok And then someone
textas morning, so did you see that?
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Why were we doing that?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
I could understand how I'd be your best bet, but
I have no idea why someone would duty on the grounds.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, I would not do that. Ever, No, I was
asking I had heard you did it? Yeah, I was asking.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Yeah, now a shovel with you in your little in
your little pack that stage praight.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
So I can't barely do that in the bathroom, honey.
So I'm not I'm not doing it lallapalooza. But yeah,
I don't know why you know say, but that's disgusting.
President Trump was asked about the possibility of a pardon
for Ditty, and Trump called the rapper quote sort of
half innocent, but said past criticism from Diddy made clemency
less likely, so I guess that's how he's going to decide.
(17:27):
He said a pardon at this time would probably be
a no, so that answers that. Actress and singer Mandy
Moore is calling out a hit and run driver who
rear ended her family's car before sweeeding off. She posted
on Instagram, hope your karma finds you. Thankful everyone was okay,
but shocked by the careless actually didn't say who was
in the car, wrote that no one was injured, but
this crash comes during a really tough year, including losing
(17:48):
their home to the wildfires. So that's awful and your
karma will find you and really quick. Lastly, Jelly Roll
made his w WE debut Saturday.
Speaker 7 (17:57):
He crushed it. I feel like he was made for
that world.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
He is actually going viral for a moment when logan
Paul leapfrogged onto him while he was lying on the
announcer's table. So if you see jelly World trending, it
might be because of that. If you missed any part
of our show, by the way, and you want to
catch up, it's all up there to tape The Frend
Show on demand and if you could set us as
a preset on the free I Heard radio.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
App The Fread Show is on Fread's fun fact Fred fund.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
So much guys gives you know. The hippopotamuses can't swim hip,
which there's a fun fact right there. The hippopo hippopotamus
is doesn't even something of a real word.
Speaker 7 (18:44):
Oh it's not.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Hippopotami is not.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Hippopotamuses cannot swim. You see him in the water, but
they can't really swim. Their bones are large and dance,
making it hard for them to float. Instead, they do
kind of a slow motion gallop on the riverbed or
the seafloor.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I'll sell you.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Something else I didn't know is there are people that
can't float, like humans that are like very dense and muscle.
I guess they can't float and they have a hard
time learning how to swim, which yeah, I've heard about
like a few like my friend Gideon. I don't have
that either, who have like no fat in their body,
