Speaker 3 (00:36):
This is weird to do without the music, by the way,
with the music bank kind of it's just a little
like raw, are we raw?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
And uncut and exposed?

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Naked?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know, school or something.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Spreads show is on.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I've said this every year for sixteen years. But when
I sit right here after two weeks off and I
just kind of stare at all the buttons and I'm like,
I don't know how to do this? Is this right?
Is it on? Hell? Are with right? Is this thing on?
This is?

Speaker 4 (01:06):
Did I do it right? Is something I don't know?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I mean I've only been doing this for, you know,
more than half of my life now, and I'm confused.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
I'm scared morning.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Everyone's Monday, January fifth, of twenty twenty six. How many
times am I going to mess that up and say
twenty twenty five?

Speaker 4 (01:24):
I mean, how many times.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You're always saying me, I'm always saying again.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
I'm I'm constantly reminding you.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm like, hey, Kaitlin, it's twenty twenty five, but it's
not as twenty twenty six. Noil, But like, I'm sure
Shelley will mess it up. She'll be Shelley is coming
up in a little bit with I just realized this too,
as I look through all the things that I forgot
that we did hear because it's I mean, it's it's
the it is the it's the longest vacation that we

(01:50):
get by a mile, it is. It goes by faster
than anything. The last two weeks of the year creep
like that we work, and then the two weeks that
we don't work are like this, and I'm still looking
at everything, like, what do we do here? What is
it that we do here? Exactly? You know, there's a
tiebreaker in the show Shelley Show almost three weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Seventy Yes, spends seven hundred bucks for Stephanie.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
But I'm sure Shelley, who you'll meet in a little
while if you if you're unfamiliar with these show, but
is Shelley. She still writes actual physical checks. So she's
gonna be messing this up now for for weeks and
putting twenty five when it's twenty six. It's a whole thing.
Morning everyone, It is, in fact Monday. We are back
from vacation. Oh, just stop it, Tony. Someone just texting us.
We can't hear you. Guys, stop it stop, don't don't

(02:39):
do it.

Speaker 6 (02:40):
Play with us today, new Energy, don't do this to us.

Speaker 7 (02:44):
I'm trying.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
I said the same thing. I woke up this morning.
I said, guys, I'm gonna come to work and I'm
gonna stump. I'm taking this. Is it what they say
starting a new lea Ford, turning a new leave for
something like that? Paulina, I know, I like, I am
not going to succumb to the people who text all
morning and crap on me.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
Like I'm not.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
It's gonna be great. I'm gonna love it. I don't
know how long that's gonna last. Let's start the timer
right now, it's fourteen minutes after the hour. Let's see.
I bet you not even ten minutes in. And I'm
not inviting you to say mean things to me.

Speaker 7 (03:20):
Yeah, now you just challenged them.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
I said, don't do that.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
I get to crack you.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Good morning, Kaitlin, Welcome back, Hi Chasing. I'm starting a
new leaf and turning it over to Hi Kiki. Yeah,
Mark shell by Shelley The Showdown next hour, seven hundred bucks,
a tiebreaker bella. He means here on the phone and
the text eight five five five nine one one three
five Yeah. Welcome our new friends in Charlotte this morning.
But speaking of technical stuff, I don't know if they
can hear us there because I guess, uh, Daddy Trevor,

(03:45):
who's in charge of that one too, I guess he
was scurrying around plugging in wires this morning, soldering things.
He was soldering. I didn't know that he knew how
to do that. He had to change to get up
there and change the way that the antenna's faced, and
I don't who knows. So hey morning, if you can
hear us there, it's nice to be back it's been
a minute. I have gray hair. Now I have an actual,

(04:07):
like professional haircut. I don't have a foul hawk with
blue in it anymore. But otherwise I'm still the same
idiot that you remember. But anyway, these are my friends.
Did I say hi to everyone? Did I get everyone in?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, good. We'll get to Headline's Biggest Stories of the
Day blogs, our audio journals, and the Entertainment Report is
coming up as well.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
What are you working on?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
K some good stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
So while we were all spending our money, somebody became
a billionaire.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
It's big news.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Tom Brady with a tick talker. And then I watched
a bunch of stuff over breaks. So I feel like
each report I'm gonna review something, and this one is
going to be Bogonia that new Emma Stone movie because
what whoa?

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Because what whoa?

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Whoa?

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Okay, all right, I'm trying to think.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
If I have anything to review, please, I mean, we
can do it a little book club if you want.
And I read a couple of little couple of little
books with.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Their tribes, big stories of the day.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
If Trevor, if Daddy Trevor the boss, one of our bosses,
if he's Daddy, then Dave Carwaw would be like father
Dave because he's bigger, He's much bigger, he's a much
he's a high level executive and he got out of
bed this morning to listen to this and I'm sure
he's regretting most decisions.

Speaker 8 (05:22):
But he can.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
We can't call him Daddy Dave because Daddy Trevor would
get up set Daddy.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
Can he be Papa Papa? Father David is giving like.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Father's not that.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
That's normal to you, it's giving, but Papa Caitlin.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
For the people who've never seen Papa David, how would
you describe him? Because you know, a lot of people
have never seen Dave because he's a big, high level executive.
But he's also you know, he's not he's not featured
on the website.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
So he hasn't heard much of this program before this, right, Like,
he's not familiar.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
No, shockingly we're no, no, we're number one in Raleigh,
WHI is also his But no, I don't think he's
ever heard this before. So perfect, yes, no, bit, how
would you do? How would you describe him to everyone
he's never seen him?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Because I was going to reuse a bit you know.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
I was going to use it. You're going to people
that have been listening for a long time. We got
to come on, We've only been here for an hour
and twenty minutes. Old Hollywood Rusty chosen.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
Okay, like impressed that I did a different one every time.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
If you don't know the bit, I love to ask,
can I want to describe people she's never seen before?
And and she does it a masterful job than you
of coming up on the fly with a wh just
an entire description.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Right, And you caught me off guard too hard this
time I did.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
That's all right, We're just we're warming up, guys. It's
just it's fine, you know everything. It's really handsome. Yeah,
metrical face, that hair on that guy. I'll have to
show you a picture. Is it? The body is?

Speaker 9 (07:01):
What do you like about it?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Body?

Speaker 10 (07:03):
Papa's body, Big Papa so cheap.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
I mean his body, his TV.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
I don't know if you knows. When you meet him,
I want you to call him that big Papa DA.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
What is your favorite? Your favorite aspect of it is calves.

Speaker 10 (07:20):
It's that b bo like I heard butt s my aperration.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
Yeah, is that what people think they think he did?

Speaker 7 (07:29):
They're asking for the bbl's that.

Speaker 10 (07:33):
You know, dragging a wagon. Baby.

Speaker 3 (07:37):
They did ask him because of that butt to be
in the New Gay Hockey Show on HBO. He was like,
so they modeled their bots after the workout, He's going
to have a great time at working. If you had
not watched it their butt, I mean, you couldn't put
this coffee right there, and it really was the model
for that. He was just like, I'm not going to
do all that, but if you guys want to work

(07:59):
out with me and see my butt routine.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
I regret that I don't have a butt.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I have a lot of hair, and that's nice, Like
I'm glad about that because my grandfather he had no
body either.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
But my grandfather had.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
No hair at twenty two. But well, because it was
just it was a running joke in our family that
his pants barely like stayed on because he was like,
no butt, Oh no, no butt.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
It's like no butt. But but I don't.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Have it's I know, it's just just flat and there's
not a whole lot I can do about it. You guys,
it's unfortunate. Well, I know Paulina and Big Daddy Dino,
a guy a guy. Yeah, I'm not sure if we'll
make it for the whole hour. So it's been nice
ru reuniting with everyone and happy to be here. And
we got it all right. So the NFL playoff schedule

(08:48):
is set. We've got the Rams at the Panthers. That's
on Saturday, Jason, this is exactly as you predicted it.

Speaker 4 (08:56):
Who do you have in that one? I didn't be careful.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Rams and the who and the who and the Carolina
Panthers Panthers.

Speaker 7 (09:03):
Yes, yeah, we love the Panthers.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Also on Saturday that uh, the Packers and the Bears.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
What yeah in the playoffs?

Speaker 11 (09:12):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (09:12):
Yeah, obvious?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
I mean yeah, yeah, the Bills and the Jaguars as
you would say it.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
That's on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Also on Sunday the four nine Ers and the Eagles. Uh,
the Chargers and the New England Patriots. And then on
Monday the Texans and the Steelers of oh.

Speaker 7 (09:30):
The Steelers of Seattle.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Yeah, that's right. And then I watched this this morning.
I was asleep. I didn't see it, but this is
really sad, and I didn't realize just how bad this was.
But I had to ask Maris, our friend, who really
does know you were unavailable at the time at the
moment when I asked, obviously would ask you first, because
you know so much about sports, Chason. But this was
the last seconds of the Ravens Steelers game last night.

(09:54):
I didn't realize Pittsburgh was up by two. So Baltimore
twenty four, Pittsburgh twenty six. Baltimore kicks a field goal
forty four yardfield goal, which in today's era is like
a chip shot. There's a guy who made a sixty
seven yardfield goal yesterday, the longest in league history, which
I mean, how long until we're gonna be doing like
eighty yards?

Speaker 4 (10:13):
Like just another hand.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
But I didn't realize if they made it, If this
dude made the kick, then the Ravens go to the playoffs.
If he misses the kick, then the Steelers go to
the playoffs and to the North. Yeah, and the dudes

(10:37):
like it looks like he's crying.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
I would do the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
I mean, this is the kind of thing where like,
you make that and you're never buying a drink in
Baltimore again. You miss it, and you should probably just
stay in Pittsburgh, don't go back to your safety is
in question.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
But I feel terrible for these situations. And you could say, like, well,
all the guy's got to do is make a kick,
like that's his only job, make the kick.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
But then I guess you could make the same argument
that the only job that the offense has is to
score touchdowns and the defense to stop people from was
going to touchdown. So I mean, you know, maybe they
shouldn't be in that position to begin with, but yeah,
that's what the guy gets paid for to make the
kick in the last in the in a minute, you know,
last minute and the last second in this case, and
he didn't do it. So yeah, Aaron Rodgers, your boy

(11:23):
in his ayahuasca into the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Oh oh, very clear that the NFL wanted that to
be the case.

Speaker 9 (11:31):
Yeah, there's a lot of that kind of top played
the Lions.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
It was like, oh you want okay because he's Aaron
Rodgers and there's this is a thing.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
He's old, he was injured.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I see, I.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
See what's going on because the calls, I don't see
what's like that's granted total.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
I mean there's a lot of that going on. Like
what was the game yesterday where I can't it was
the fightings I can't remember who it was where there
were two seconds to go, they were down, it was
like thirteen to nothing, and somebody called a time out
so they could kick a field goal to be thirteen
three and still lose.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
But it's like, well, why would you do that?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
And I guess it messed up the spread, so like
people lost bets on that.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Oh yeah, but why would you do that? You lost
a game like it's over.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Even like the Vikings already being out of the playoffs and.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
The Lions needing to win that game to be in
the playoffs. If I'm the Vikings, I can't go.

Speaker 9 (12:19):
You guys just.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Take this one.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
There was another one that made me mad yesterday and
your Dallas Cowboys. But a dude got a sack, but
there was a penalty, but he needed the sack for
I think was a million dollar bonus, like because you
know they have incentives in the contracts. Where again I
saw like an idiot because I don't know who it was,
but I saw this quickly on TikTok. But my understanding
was he got the sack, there was a penalty. The

(12:43):
Cowboys could decline the penalty and the sack would have
counted and the guy would have gotten his mill, but
instead they accepted the penalty for the advantage of the get.
But it's like it didn't matter because the Cowboys aren't
going anywhere. So basically, and all of his teammates were like,
decline it because they all knew that he was going
to make it, you know, all this money, million dollar bonus,
and so everyone on the field was like telling the coaches, like,

(13:04):
decline the penalty, Like, doesn't none of this matter. Is
we're not We're going to Hawaii tomorrow. It doesn't matter.
And they accepted the penalty anyway, And so so, you know,
a million bucks he didn't get. Yeah, I like that
happens around here all the time. So everyone seems to
dread the first Monday back, and there's actual real psychology

(13:27):
behind why everyone feels the way that we do right
this second. According to psychologists, returning to work after time
off feels extra hard because your brain and emotions are
still in holiday mode while your inbox and to do
list are not. After a break, people often come back
to full calendars, piles of unread emails, and immediate productivity
expectations before they've had a chance to mentally reset that

(13:50):
disconnect can leave you feeling slow, unfocused, and overwhelmed, not
just tired. Experts say this post holiday blue blues plural,
I guess, is a common form of stress, not just moodiness,
triggered by disruptive routines, decision fatigue, and pressure to switch
instantly from rest to full work mode. I think for
a lot of people too, the holidays are not really

(14:11):
a break, no, especially for parents, because now you got
your kids home, they're not in school, so then that's
messed up. And then maybe you're still working, and then
of course all the other obligations that you have to
make the holidays the holidays, and then it's like boom, okay,
here we go.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
Now just back to normal.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Every time I felt like I was good because I
was like, Okay, I'm reading this book that Fred got me.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
I'm so exciting.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Every time I sat down, I felt like, oh, I
gotta do this, I gotta do that, I gotta finish this.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
I was like, I'm wasn't as lazy as I thought
I would be.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
No, And it goes by so fast. I think it
goes by so fast because it doesn't really feel like
your own time off one because there are all the
other obligations New Year's and Christmas and all that comes
with that. But like right in the middle, like if
you right in the middle of each of the two
weeks is the holiday with like a day off around
it that everyone else gets too. So I guess it
doesn't really know what I mean, Like, it doesn't if

(14:58):
you take a week off and I don't know, March
or something, it feels like a vacation, yes, because everyone
else is going to work and you feel like, Okay,
this is my time.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
But it doesn't really feel that way.

Speaker 10 (15:06):
So everybody should slow down today. Okay, I'll take it
easy on each other. Yeah, we're all this circling back.
Put it to next week. Let us all mentally get
to where we need to make be the one person
want to circle back right away.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Relax, we don't need to today.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Schedule.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
You can tell this guy. You can tell this guy
scheduled emails. Because it's five oh one this morning. It's like, okay,
here we go. Jason, you've been just waiting.

Speaker 7 (15:37):
But at least that while you're off right, So.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
Jesus in a little bit.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
And then Caitlin, my God, with your calendar invites it's
this show. This show needs calendar invites because nobody it's
impossible to schedule everyone because it's forty eight of us
and and and then you got me with add and
all the rest of it. But I mean, I was
going to text you and be like, that's enough because
because I'm sitting there on my indication of all it

(16:01):
was was for like four or five consecutive days, more
reminders of the crap that I have to do in April.
To do that in the email, you said we didn't
have to do it on Christmas working.

Speaker 9 (16:18):
My girl, just call me.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Do what Jason did?

Speaker 9 (16:25):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (16:25):
When we when do we need this far subscription? Okay,
well if I would.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
Put it in the calendar, now you know what's going
in the calendar our holidays.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
God, I was just I was just like haunted, and
my trainer starts scheduling stuff for.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Them, like, oh no, stop it.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
If you knew anybody who was in the Caribbean for
the holidays last few days, ryle yeah, because I mean
it's very complicated. But flight restrictions have been lifted for
the did you know people?

Speaker 9 (16:53):
No?

Speaker 10 (16:54):
Well, one of my favorite Real housewives was there, shout up,
Melissa Gorga from New Jersey.

Speaker 9 (16:58):
She's still there now.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
You yeah, I feel like your close personal friends. But
if you knew people who were down there, there was
a ground stop for days by the FAA. Things should
be getting back to normal at airports in the Caribbean.
And I say it both ways just in case it
offends someone. If I say Caribbean or Caribbean, I think
it depends where you're from. People say it both ways.
So you see, I just switched it up right there

(17:20):
in the story. I just said it each way so
nobody can say nothing nice to me. Hundreds of canceled
flights in and out of the popular tourist region due
to the US attack on Venezuela, and the FA decided
to close the airspace following the capture of the president
there by US forces, and those restrictions were lifted last night.
Airport officials advice travelers that check their flight status before

(17:40):
going to the airport.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
I did see on the news. This is a major inconvenience, right.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
I get that if you're down there, you've got to
get kids back to school, you got to get back
to work. Hotels are expensive, your vacation you allotted for whatever,
but they showed like on I don't know, NBC Nightly
News or something. I'm sitting there with my parents watched
this that thing, and I'm sitting there watching this and
they have a live shot of a guy stuck there,
but they chose to do the live shot at the pool.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
So it's like at his resort.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
So here's this guy looking all sad and the background
is his pool on like a water slide, and the
beach is behind him in his palm trees, and someone's
sipping like a drink with an umbrella and he's I
desperately want to be home. And I'm looking at the
scene going couldn't you have Like couldn't we have shot?
There's a bit of a brick wall or something like
this does not look bad, Like this is not this

(18:29):
is of all the places that you could be stuck
right now, Like this is not the worst possible situation,
Like no one thought about this. I guess people are
apparently listing gaming on their resumes as like a like
a extracurricular interest. I have to admit this. I've done
this job. Someone got an email. I've done this job

(18:51):
for my whole life, my whole adult working life basically,
with the exception of a couple of retail jobs. I
worked at Blockbuster. If he didn't know, I'm very proud
of it. I was in this systant manager. No, no,
it's one of my pre I'm part of Americana. I
am someonel are you scheduling calendar invites? But so I honestly,

(19:13):
I'm not sure. And this makes me sound so out
of touch. I don't mean to, but like, because I've
had this job for so long, knock would I can't
remember the last time.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
I made a resume.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I don't know that I would know how to make
a resume because they don't do that in this business.
Like they listen to you and they go, all right,
this is fine, I guess, and like does he show up, Like, yeah,
he shows up? How mentally ill is he? Like? Like
is it manageable? Yeah? Okay, okay, then hire him? That's fine,
bring him out here. So that's how that works. Like
and then I can't remember the last time someone's like, hey,
can I have your resume before they give you an opportunity?

(19:44):
But I guess there's a section on there where you
could list like what you're into. I'm not sure if
anyone knows more about this than I do. I'm sure
you do, but don't write that you're a gamer on
your resume. Apparently, researchers gave volunteers a mock job posting
and then had them rate the hire a ability a
fictional applicant. When one resume listed gaming as an extracurricular

(20:05):
hobby and another listed volleyball, the gamer was consistently judged
less hirable than the athlete, whether the activity was described
at an average level or high achievement. That's despite the
fact that gaming can involve teamwork, strategy, fast decision making,
and social skills. Depending on the job, I might actually
think that if you're like a good gamer, that could
be valuable depending on what it is I'm hiring for. Yeah,

(20:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (20:26):
I think it's kind of fun to know what people
do like in their free time. I'm going through resumes
right now for a position here, and I think it
would it would catch my eye if they were like
I like to, you know, I don't know, play chess.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:37):
Oh, it's interesting that you do.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Not truly bring them back. We don't have enough hobby.
I like to play chess.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
Yeah, you resume it's a bad example because that's boring,
but like I don't know, something exciting like rock climbing,
I'd be like, oh.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
What's the worst or like most cringey, uncomfortable, awkward, Like
I can't believe this was on a resume thing that
you've seen because you're technically in management, Jason, so like
you you would be the one reading the resume.

Speaker 6 (21:02):
Yeah, I think honestly, it's the misspelling for me, like
especially places that you've worked like to spell like company
name wrongs or companies' names wrong, like or if you're
like too lazy to like manually enter your like work
history in our little like website, you just attach your

(21:23):
resume and then all of a sudden, every field is
none non non no.

Speaker 7 (21:27):
I'm like network good.

Speaker 6 (21:32):
Like it's your job application, Like it's literally the first
impression I have of you, and they have a thing.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Will tell you spelled. There's a thing well the place
where you made that will tell you it.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
Is pretty resume for you, and it has all the
information that you want me to now answer it again.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Yeah, but we're worried about gamers and you didn't spell check,
like I think the gamer probably.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Spell check where you worked.

Speaker 7 (21:57):
Wild.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I had someone text me over break who were ten
years ago, who I worked with like one time, physically
asked me if they could put me down for a
reference for a job, and I said no, and they
were like, that's very mean of you. Like I'm my
wait a minute. So when they when they call me
and they say, well, tell me about this person, I

(22:19):
don't even know. I'm not even sure if I could
spot them in a lineup ten years ago. And so
they're gonna say, well, when did you work with them.
I'm gonna say in nineteen ninety seven, you know. And
then they're gonna be like, well, this is this person
couldn't come up with it? And I said to them,
I said, it's not. I don't want to help you.
He said, this is not You're not going to get
the job. If they called me, they wouldn't. You want
to talk to somebody from the last I don't know,

(22:40):
like six months, twelve months, I mean ten years. The
best reference you can come up with is ten years old.

Speaker 10 (22:47):
You're honest with the reference people that call, right, You're
not supposed to be honest according to you, and so
you supposed to that I worked with her yesterday.

Speaker 9 (22:55):
She's an amazing girl, you know, but.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Then they're gonna ask me questions I can't answer, like
what color hair does she have? Right?

Speaker 6 (23:01):
And this is why this company doesn't want us to
do reference calls, and that's.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
We're allowed. But I didn't do it. I didn't say
to her.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I said to her, like in a constructive way, I
was like, hey, I don't I said, do I know
the person who you're interviewing with? Do I know the company?
And she's like no. I'm like are they listeners of
the show? Like why me? Like why are you bringing
up all that? Like how about your direct report? Which,
by the way, was you like how about I don't know?
Like why am I? So I was she going for?

(23:33):
I don't know? Was there a reason? Like did she
meet this person? And they were like, oh I love
the freend Show. Okay, well then i'll help you out,
like no problem. But I mean she was just I
don't know, but you don't have anybody else a decade,
literally a decade. You don't have anyone there. And so
I said no, I said, no, I'm not going to
do it. Don't have no But I if I were
hiring someone and I called a reference and that person

(23:56):
was like, yeah, we work together in high school. And
the person thirty, I would think, what on earth are
you hiding from the last you know, fourteen years or
twelve years or whatever. Wouldn't you know for it? You're
wrong for that.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
I'm not You're wrong.

Speaker 10 (24:11):
You were supposed to say yes, like I should be
able to put any one of y'all down as a
reference for with you. By the way, gl to be
a doctor tomorrow and they call you, you need to be like, yeah,
she's amazing.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Courd. The breakfast club did call me for a reference
and I said you were great. You said no, Oh,
did I want to say that?

Speaker 9 (24:35):
I know what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Been trying to fire her for years, kidding me terrible.
I gotta tell her what you say all the time.
That's a real story about the way breakfast club calls me,
hey can we have Kiki? And I had to sit
there for like my life flashed before my.

Speaker 9 (24:49):
Eyes because I was like, did that girl no?

Speaker 1 (24:53):
No? Because the person said to me, they said, hey,
Kiki will never know that we asked, so we can
make it go away like it never happens. And for
once in my life, I had some ethics and I said, nah,
she's great. You should you know, you should talk to her,
and they did and then I hung up. You know who?
The first person I called was my mom. I go, Mom,
Kiki's going to New York. It's over.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Should get you some ice cream, some spot pans?

Speaker 1 (25:19):
My god, I had know she sent me mint all.
It was weird, I was anyway, but anyone up there
did a great job. And I was like, it's really over.
And then thankfully here you are. Sorry you stuck with us.
You can't go anywhere you're stuck with Let me see here.
I think there are city stories there. I don't know
if I feel like it.

Speaker 9 (25:39):
I know that's real. Monday, bro, I feel you okay.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
So on four different sits this morning, there's this story
like it was breaking news about peeing when you sneeze.
Do you peel a little when you sneeze? Not yet? Yes? See?

Speaker 4 (25:51):
I thought that why I thought the same thing.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I thought that was like a like a you get
older and you lose a little bit of.

Speaker 4 (25:55):
Control over that.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
You got a baby or have a baby, do you
still oh yeah, this day to this day, the baby seventeen,
I know we're done no, what two and a half
since almost two Yeah, that's if you've ever sneezed and
pete a little, You're not alone. It's a common type
of stress urinary incontinents, especially among women.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
I literally saw this.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
If I see it in more than three places, and
it is a trending story. If I see it in
one place, I'm like, this is someone needs filler. There's
four different places this morning I see this. Instead of
just squeezing randomly, experts, I recommend a pre sneeze squeeze
timed pelvic contraction that you do just before you call
flaugh or sneeze. This can reduce leakage by stabilizing the

(26:39):
bladder in the moment of pressure. New homes are saying
goodbye to dining rooms, which I'm not sure why this
took so long if you're building a new house, I mean,
didn't we all have that room growing up? Even when
we were growing up, didn't we all have that room
that we really weren't supposed to go in?

Speaker 12 (26:55):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Yeah, like we had. We have a living room in
my parents' house. What I grew up, and it was
like we go in there, like there was nothing for
me in there. It was all where all the glass
and nice stuff was, and like we didn't cover the
couches and plastic by a lot of people. Do I
know the front room if you're from the Midwest and
you didn't know all what in there? And so now
I guess people are opting to just not have that
room anymore. If I built a house, I wouldn't put

(27:17):
a formal living room.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
No, absolutely not. I knew that every room right.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Great, Like how many times am I going to entertain
to where we're gonna have or dervs served, you know
on a j like please?

Speaker 4 (27:28):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
Paulina, I don't know what you were doing at a
Taco Bell on New Year's even, going by the name
Destiny Green. But a twenty three year old named Destiny
Green aka Paulina and her boyfriend were involved in a
he didn't fight in a Taco Bell parking lot just
after three pm when he got out of the car
and walked away. She then chased him down and attempted

(27:50):
to run him over. And this is making news. Police
say that they recovered the woman's car and are urging
her to surrender. They can't find her. I found her.
She now faces attempted murder charges and what authorities are
treating as a severe case of domestic violence. Oh wow,
what kind of fight did you guys get in a
New Year's even three pm?

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Three pm, right on the way to the party.

Speaker 9 (28:14):
How do you fight with a chal everybody should be happy?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Why if, if, but we make it to Taco Bell together,
then we can stop the fight long enough to enjoy
you know, a nice uh uh? You know, Gordita reader,
you should bring us together. You know double decker Taco
on that retro venue. I don't know if you can
still get it. And at Georgia, Donkey has broken the
record for the longest ears in case you were wondering,

(28:38):
sixteen inches long, making them the world's longest. It's National
Bird Day today, National Screenwriter's Day, and national thank God
It's Monday Day. Why encourages us to celebrate the first
Monday of the new year with vigor and energy, girl,
vigor and energy.

Speaker 10 (28:54):
Slow down, Slow down.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
The entertainer of port is entertainer. He's on the Fred Show.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
Congrats to miss Bonce who while we were all spending
all of our money, she was becoming a billionaire according
to Forbes.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
And this is a big deal.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
She's only the fifth musician to claim this title, following
husband jay Z, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Bruce Springsteen. The
Milestone captive stretch that includes, of course, twenty twenty three's
Renaissance World Tour and a full on pivot to country
music with twenty twenty fours Cowboy Carter, then a Christmas
Day NFL halftime show, and last year's top grossing concert tour.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
So congrats to her. Shout out to my.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Sister's friend of a friend who was actually at this
party behind them and got the tea very early. But
NFL legend Tom Brady and much younger TikToker Alex Earl,
So I know it gets confusing for people. She's the
Alex's spelled with an ix and she's not Alex Cooper,
who does call her daddy. This is the other hot
blonde with fake yabos that does TikTok okay.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
I used to I had to like consciously remind myself
which one was which.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, so that's the one we're talking about. Alex Kuperber's married, yep.

Speaker 12 (30:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
But sometimes people still get on mixed up.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
They were spotted getting really crazy cozy at this party
in Saint Bart's. Did you guys see she was rubbing
on his back for an extended period of time.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
His hand was around her waist.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
As for stuff we didn't see, people say they were dancing,
spending a lot of time together on that yacht.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think she was staying on that yacht.

Speaker 3 (30:28):
Hours later, after the internet kind of blew up with that,
she both did a series of photos from her trip,
no sign of Brady, but she wrote, rumor has it,
We're still dancing, new friends, new memories, and new beginnings
now right probably now, I could not stop thinking about
her poor ex boyfriend. I mean this is not days

(30:48):
after they broke up, and I think Alex broke up
with him. He's also an NFL player, he plays for
the Texans.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
But you girl winds up with Hall of Fame quarterback
Tom Brady.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Well that the pain, the hurt, the crying down the wall.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
That would be like if I broke up with someone
and she wanted to with Ryan Seacrest the next day,
I would be like, oh my.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
God, like on a yacht and same bards.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
It's like you couldn't have picked a TV person like him.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
I just that would hurt real bad.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
So even though you know, I think he was okay
to her, I know he's been you know, mean to
girls in the.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Past, so maybe that was his karma, but that had
to hurt.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Really.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Are you of the camp that he's a good looking guy,
Tom Brady, because there are people out there. But what
I don't know is are they hating because he's just
graded everything and he is good looking?

Speaker 3 (31:33):
No, I don't mind that he's great at everything. I
think he looks like one of those lego blackheads.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
I've heard that before that people think he looks kind
of like a butt like he.

Speaker 9 (31:40):
Has the Facebook.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
I don't know, and in his eyes lately have been
very beaty, like put them back in your head too.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I mean a lot of people think he's handsome.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Okay. I was curious, you know, if you were of that,
because you had the people who are like, oh, you know,
all all the Super Bowls and all the money.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
No, I like that for him.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, So you know, so they hate on him because
he's successful. I was just curious if you actually he
was a good looking guy.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
You know, I'm more of a Jalen Hurts kind of girl. Okay,
you know, even who's with Olivia Culpo. He's super hot.

Speaker 3 (32:10):
Oh, Christian McCaffery, Yeah he's hot. Yeah, there's a couple
of hotties. And you know how I feel about our boy,
Dak Prescott. But anyways, I just hope that Braxton is
like on one of those Aaron Rodgers retreat retreat hmmm retreats.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, retreat treat. I hope so too. Sounds like you
need one and one of those tents in the middle
of the desert with he.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Doesn't have his phone.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Man, I was just trying to say something, guys, I
hope he doesn't have his phone. And lastly, I said,
I was going to do this. If you guys have
anything good, join in. I'm gonna talk about some things
I watched over break. So I watched Bogonia, which they
describe as a black comedy, which not like black people like,
it's a level step under dark comedy, like it's dark.

(32:57):
So I had never heard either, but I understand why
it's being called that. It's the one with Emma Stone
where she had to shave off her entire head. And
then they had the movie screening I talked about for Only.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Bald People, which was kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
But it's about these two dudes who are They believe
conspiracy theories, and they kidnapped this powerful CEO suspect suspecting
that she's an alien. So they think aliens are among us,
and they think she is one, and they kidnap her
and they do all kinds of stuff to her, and
there's definitely a twist that I don't want to give
away more. It's an intense movie. It's not a movie

(33:30):
that I would watch again, but it is really good
and really interesting. It's just like, if you don't like
a lot of gore and things that like that, it
might not be for you. It's on peacock I think
maybe even in theaters too. Anybody else like anything that
they feel.

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Like, I can I have to go look see what
I watch. I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
We can think about it before the next one.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
But yeah, I'd have to actually log into mind because
it was just like it's all a blur.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
It's a movie. I was here yesterday. I'm right back
here again.

Speaker 2 (34:00):

Speaker 4 (36:39):
Yeah, right, gonna say.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
You can say a lot of things right now, and
I would be liked. I said I would do that,
because that's another thing. At the end of last year,
I was just saying yes to everything just to make
it go away. You know, it's like, will you do
this on January whatever? Yeah, okay, fine, Like because I do,
wasn't have to worry about it until oh now, and
then I So I opened my calendar last night. I'm
just going through I'm like, what did I say I
would do? Where did I say I would go?

Speaker 2 (37:02):
That's why you and K can't just be like, yeah,
I'll be there, I'll be there. I'd be because it's
too much.

Speaker 9 (37:06):
When it comes time, I know I'm in trouble.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
No, but it was just you know, on on December seventeenth.
It also handed like a great idea. It's like, hey,
will you do eight events in one day? I'm like, okay, sure,
I'll worry about that. I guess. Then, well, now it's
time to worry about it. Also, how isn't it poetic?
I don't know if it's poetic. I don't if it's
good or it's gonna be great when we win Bears
Packers in the playoffs. I mean the Bears in playoffs.

(37:29):
I haven't said that in like a decade, and I'm
not kidding about that, which is amazing. But of course
it has to be the Packers, which means it's going
to be so sweet when we win or absolutely crushing
and demoralizing it for some reason. I'm not going to
say that we wouldn't, but we will. It's Saturday. It's
the Packers in Chicago at Soldier Field on a Saturday

(37:53):
night in the playoffs. I'm telling you, this city is
a city is electric when the Bears are doing well,
and I think it's going to be to be great.
We don't need to worry about last night. Last night
was not great. Last night was not great to like
the last time. I don't know. The second half was
much better than the first half. But we're not worried
about that. They were just messing around. They were just
saving it up. They're just they didn't have it dialed

(38:13):
in Saturday dialed in right, We locked. So everybody but
your mom will be rooting for the Bears.

Speaker 7 (38:20):
I can't talk to her this week.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
No, you can't. I didn't know me, mom one more time.
Your mom is from Chicago, Linda. Has she been to
Green Bay?

Speaker 7 (38:30):
She has? Yeah, they went, they toured the lambeau Field
or whatever.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
But there's no tie. She she just chose violence.

Speaker 7 (38:40):
Yeah, she chose this life. And I take it as
a personal attack.

Speaker 1 (38:44):
She's crazy to me that you grow up in Chicago
and you picked you choose to be a packer's face.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Man, if you've ever been at Green Bay, like if
you grew up there, fine, like it's your house is
next to a football stadium. I went to one game there,
not to cheer on the Green Bay by, but it
was cool to go to LAMB But whatever, I guess.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
But it's like, where's this house?

Speaker 1 (39:05):
House? Are we getting near the stadium? It's like, literally,
how stadium? Oh, it's like small town gigantic stadium. So
I guess if you grew up there, then you mean
it was in your backyard. I get that you didn't.
You know, that's what it was. That's your heritage. You
don't always like like Canin didn't choose to be a
Lions fan.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
This is what happened.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
No, but Maris, our co worker did. He's from Ohio
and he.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
Just chose to be a long suffering Alliance.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Fan Lions and Tigers randomly, like you get.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
Born into the Bears, like the Bears are typically competitive,
it's a great franchise, you know whatever, whatever, whatever, Okay,
but you don't. You don't grow up here and then
choose to be a Packers fan and your mom.

Speaker 7 (39:44):
Is yeah, my dad's a Bears fan.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
So yeah, So just I love you, Linda, but not
this week it's the French show.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Just wake up.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
This might be the most controversial thing I've ever said
parmesan cheese is overrated. Parmesan cheese is overrated. Bread show
is on. I still think that, by the way, And
these people that put like big piles of it, I
feel bad for the servers, you know, And it's just
like they're standing there, it's like, Okay, that's enough, Like

(40:23):
keep going, you.

Speaker 9 (40:24):
Got this, keep doing it.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Is that the worst part about being a Now it
can't be like having to put the parmesan cheese or
the pepper mill.

Speaker 9 (40:32):
Oh yeah, it has.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
To be the rude people. But I mean, like, what's
the most irritating thing standing there? Like grating the cheese
over the person? Like, okay, tell me when.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
Yeah, I know? Or is it singing the birthday song?

Speaker 7 (40:46):
Oh boy, well that's fun.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
We have to do that bit again one of these days.
We haven't done it in a while.

Speaker 1 (40:52):
Where it's like because I feel like most people growing
up worked in retail or food service service industry of
some kind or both, and I feel like if you
worked in the service industry, there was some kind of
like skit or song or you know, deal that you
had to do and you had to memorize it, especially
if you worked at LA chain restaurant. There was a birthday.

(41:13):
Everyone has a birthday song, and we used to do
this where people would call in like once a year
and they have to sing the birthday song that was
like ingrained in their mind, that would never go away.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
Let me have to bring that back.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Maybe a calendar invite for that, Kalin, if you would,

Speaker 10 (42:43):
Go oh okay, Well, dear blog, I've been waiting. I'll
bright to tell you guys about all my bridal updates.
I know you've been on the edge of your seat, guys.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
But well, for context, you got engaged last year. Yes,
you have been with Big Tim for is it almost
eight years? Almost?

Speaker 9 (43:00):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
And and so we've been waiting for this, the big
engagement that we weren't sure if it was ever going
to come, never thought it was. It did come, yeah,
and now we're in full on wedding planning mode for
twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 10 (43:14):
Yes, okay, which I learned yesterday is not a very
you know, odd thing. I went to my first ever
bridal expo, okay, and it was a while. Like I
walked in, it was like whoa, and everybody was planning
their wedding. There was brides and bridal parties, and there's
people offering you a free honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
It's not free Jason.

Speaker 7 (43:38):
Time share.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Right.

Speaker 10 (43:39):
She's like, if you give me two hundred dollars right now,
you can go on to vacations with your husband.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
I'm like, oh girl, please, I get those.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
Texts all the time, right, you saying it's not real.

Speaker 13 (43:49):
Right.

Speaker 10 (43:50):
So I went to the bridal expo. I didn't know
what to expect. But my maid of honor, you know,
she was like, I think you should go and see.
You'll get new ideas and you know, may get some
new vendors or whatever.

Speaker 9 (44:02):
And I did.

Speaker 10 (44:03):
I walked away with a lot of ideas of things
I didn't know I needed. Like I didn't know that
I needed a horse and carriage, you know, but they
have Jesus the bridal eggs.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Oh my god, I have to have that horse and carriage.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Yes, for what to bring?

Speaker 10 (44:22):
And that's what my sister and she said, your reception
and your wedding ceremonies in the same building.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Where are you going?

Speaker 9 (44:28):
I was like, I don't know. I need it.

Speaker 2 (44:37):
I need the horse and carry don't want to work.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
They don't know.

Speaker 10 (44:40):
Treet is so nice. I will make sure she is good.
And then they had like this backdrop with a swing,
and I know you had this before. I got a
swing that kind of swing. Okay, it's a nice little
like like something hanging from a fake tree.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
And it's.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
A wedding. I mean after the wedding maybe, But what
do I need him for during?

Speaker 10 (45:02):
Because it's a nice photo opportunity. So you know, it's
like you set this thing up and there's a guy
and he takes your picture. He counts to three. I
need that. I need all of that. Then, yeah, yep.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
Is it a solo swing or is there room for two?
It's room for two. Okay.

Speaker 10 (45:17):
Yeah, my sister and I actually took a photo on
the swing yesterday at the Bridal Expo. Okay, I just
walked away. I met this wonderful girl. She's a coordinator.
I'm hiring her.

Speaker 9 (45:28):
She was sweet, she was kind.

Speaker 1 (45:30):
She gets that's the first thing you've said about all
this that makes any sense whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
Hire a coordinator. That's if you haven't.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
I don't care how big your wedding is, like I
have somebody a third party, find a few dollars, no
matter how extravagant or not we're going. That's one thing
I can tell you about all the weddings I've been to,
and I've been to people's first, second, and third weddings
already in my life. Okay, Oh and many divorce party.
Oh and I'm finding a lot of people that got married,

(45:56):
people I knew in my twenties are now circling back.
I'm certainly hear from them again. You know, we're running
a val because they win and they had their first
marriage and they had some children and it didn't work out.
And I starting to hear from these folks again. They're
popping up on my Instagram left and right. Anyway, no
matter how much I firmly believe that you should have
some sort of planner, because it can't be the maid

(46:18):
of honor, can't be the bride, can't be the groom.
We can't be the mother of the bride. That nice
someone to help you sort of make this all work.
On the day of because it's a very stressful thing
and you don't want to be messing with like that.
You know, I don't know the person who's late, or
the person who didn't show up, or the catering that's
not right or whatever.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
That makes sense to.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
Me absolutely, And I don't give the swim and the
horse and get the lady either plan the thing.

Speaker 10 (46:40):
Yeah, I don't want Jason to have to work on
the day of the wedding.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
That's what happened to me, because I have everybody. I
hired her last minute.

Speaker 8 (46:47):
Funny story though she grew up in Chicago to where
I'm from, so I was very like, I was like, oh,
this is so great. Shows in Vegas now where we
had my wedding. You guys were there. Yeah, No, it
was It was always some money. And because I didn't
talk to her before, I didn't vetter and I didn't
really give her like the itinerary of what to do.
And then Ja Siro, we got to tell the planner
where to go, her plan where to go.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
You hired a planner and then you didn't tell her
where to where it was she.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Was a little dumb and that I told her where about.

Speaker 14 (47:13):
What to do?

Speaker 1 (47:13):
Who I was, And why did you hire a planner
if you were telling her what to do?

Speaker 8 (47:17):
Like I couldn't put it on her. And I'm like, hey, girl,
bring this here.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
You I've never heard this story. Do you hire a
wedding planner? Didn't tell her where to coordinate?

Speaker 9 (47:27):
I thought it was Jason.

Speaker 4 (47:28):
I did too, because he had the piece in the
whole day, and.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Whose thought was it mine?

Speaker 8 (47:32):
Because I didn't vet her and I didn't like to
talk to her before, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Tell her where the wedding was.

Speaker 11 (47:41):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (47:41):
She was okay, So anyway, don't hire that person. And
did you hire someone? Just go ahead and let them
know what you've already planned and what you want to
show up.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Give him a day to place.

Speaker 9 (47:54):
She'd have called this lady nom and.

Speaker 15 (47:55):
Didn't even tell.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
You know, she did jump somewhere inedible, man, that's just it.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:12):
If you have an unlimited budget, which nobody does, very
few people do unless you're Jeff Bezos or something, you
don't need to be going to these things, because that's
the whole point of these expos is you walk in
and you spent fifty grand already on these things that
you didn't know you needed, and that you're probably not
gonna You might remember them, but your guests are not
going to remember them.

Speaker 9 (48:31):
Well, I would hope you would remember the swing.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
I'm just keeping it real weak.

Speaker 7 (48:35):
I will remember the hor Yes.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Can you picture me in front of us?

Speaker 7 (48:39):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Yes, I know you coming in on a horse and
carriage is very much you.

Speaker 7 (48:43):
Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
And pictures of you all over the place. And I
love you, But pictures of you all over the place,
even though at your a Wemma, I know I'm at
your wedding, but let's see more pictures of you. I
can't wait. I can't wait. I can lie everywhere.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
The ya you better girl for what you're about to pay. Yes,
every end, every winner.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
Yep. But you know, my sister and I got into
it about this years ago when she got married, and
I say, you know, my parents were like, here's how
much money you can have. This is how much you got,
and you can do with this what you want. And
if you have like a if this is a thing
in our backyard and it takes five minutes and your
your brother officiates it or whatever, which is what they wanted.
I don't know why, but I did it. And you

(49:21):
can have the rest of the money, like we don't care.
The money's yours. And I was trying to convince her.
I'm like, Amanda, you need to have I've been to
a lot of weddings and I don't remember what I
ate at any of them. I don't really remember who
the DJ or the band was. I vaguely remember where
it was. I couldn't tell you the name of a
lot of the hotels I was in. I can tell
you how much it cost me to get there, you

(49:44):
know whatever. I can remember if you had an open
bar or not. But I'm like, if you have a
cool venue and an open bar and good food and
good music, everyone's gonna be happy. And you don't have
to spend a ton of money. You accomplish that. And
I think people would be happier than they would if
there's a swing.

Speaker 9 (50:02):
We don't want to hear that. We don't want to
hear that, Okay.

Speaker 4 (50:04):
And what did she do?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
She went spend every dollar and then some and you
know what, it was her day and she had you know,
the pictures are beautiful, and I think she's very happy
with it, and that's that's her thing.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
Me, you're gonna give me a check.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
Okay, we're getting a food truck it we're getting a
band is so kind? Oh yes, and and and we
I don't care where we do it, and and that's that.
And I'm gonna have some money left over at the
end for the real fun time, which is the honeymoon
with the real swing.

Speaker 9 (50:33):
And that's somebody that can get you a fool honeymoon.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
Okay, they send me the link. I'll sign up right now.
I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Frend Show. Hey, Natalie, good morning, Welcome to the pro Crum.
How are you?

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I'm good?

Speaker 14 (50:50):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (50:51):
How are you doing all right?

Speaker 1 (50:52):
I want to hear what happened with this guy Evan,
because we're trying to figure out if you've been ghosted
here it looks like maybe you have, but I need
to know the backstory. How did you meet? Tell us
about any dates you've been on, and then where things
are now?

Speaker 2 (51:03):
Yeah, I have to agree, I do think I'm being ghosted.

Speaker 5 (51:07):
We met at like a one of those like excessive
holiday pop up bars, you know, right, which I go
to every year so I'm obsessed with them. But we've
changed numbers and the next day he texted me, he
asked me out, and I honestly thought we got along

(51:28):
great and we had great chemistry from the first two
times you know we hung out. Aside from making sure
that I got home safe after our date, I have
not heard from him at all.

Speaker 1 (51:43):
Okay, So I mean you felt like the conversation flowed you.
I mean because the topics were good. You guys seem
to have similar interests. I mean you walked away from
this date thinking that you would hear from him again,
like nothing, a fancy.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Of nothing weird, nothing crazy.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
See, I don't know, there's so many different ways that
we've heard over the years that you could talk about
something that would turn somebody off or do something, but
like you didn't see that you know, your barbie collection
at your house, or you didn't bring up any streams
like political stance or conspiracy theory.

Speaker 4 (52:17):
I mean, like it was all this very normal, very.

Speaker 5 (52:20):
Very normal, just like a good old fashioned fun time.
We didn't talk about politics, you know, that never came up.
That rarely comes up on a first date.

Speaker 1 (52:34):
Well, anyway, I don't know, We've we've heard so many
things over the years, ways that people have messed themselves up,
but nonetheless you felt like everything went great. You were
looking forward to seeing him again. It's frustrating when you
feel like you have a connection with someone and then
you don't hear from them again. So that's where we
come in. We're gonna play one song, come back, call
this guy, Evan. Natalie, you'll be on the phone at
the same time. And the hope here is that we

(52:55):
can figure out what's going on. Maybe he's been busy,
maybe he's been distracted with the holidays, families, who knows,
and hopefully we can straighten everything out and set you
guys up on a second date and.

Speaker 4 (53:04):
Pay for it.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Oh my gosh, I'd love that.

Speaker 4 (53:06):
Hey, Natalie, Hi, welcome back. Let's call Evan.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
You guys met it a holiday pop up bar and
you exchange numbers, You went on a date. You felt
like the date went great. You were attracted to him,
the chemistry was there, the conversation was there, and you
expected that he would follow up and ask you on
another date. But he hasn't done that and you haven't
heard from him in days, And you want to know why.

Speaker 5 (53:27):
I really really want to know why.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
I honestly, well.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
So do I so do we let's call this guy Evan. Now,
good luck, Natalie, thank you? Hello, Hi is A seven.
It is I Haven't good morning. My name is Fred.
I'm calling from the Fred's Show, the morning radio show.
The whole crew is here, and I have to tell

(53:51):
you that we are on the radio right now and
I would need your permission to continue with the call,
which hat for just a little bit on the show.

Speaker 4 (53:57):
Would you mind?

Speaker 7 (53:59):
Hi?

Speaker 14 (54:00):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (54:01):
I guess so, Thank you very much. I'll get right
to it. We're calling on behalf of a woman named Natalie.
I guess you guys met at a bar and recently
went on a date. Do you remember Natalie?

Speaker 14 (54:09):
I hope yes, yes I do remember Natalie.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
Okay, So she reached out to us and kind of
told us how you met and said that you guys
had gone on a date that she thought went really
well and she was excited to sort of connect with
you and was looking forward to a second date. But
says you haven't reached out to her in days since
the date, and I guess haven't responded to her either,
So she feels like she's being ghosted.

Speaker 4 (54:30):
You know, did you ghost her? Are you ghosting her?
What's going on.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
I don't.

Speaker 7 (54:37):
I guess I don't.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Yeah, yeah, why like what happened? Because her impression of
this was that everything was great? So then I mean,
what's your hesitation.

Speaker 14 (54:49):
Well, I mean, in the beginning, everything was fine. But
I took her to my company's holiday party, and in
the beginning things were fine, and then she she proceeded
to get pretty pretty inebriated.

Speaker 4 (55:06):
This is why you don't take a stranger company holiday party.

Speaker 9 (55:10):
But okay, I don't take any date, right, it.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Needs to be someone you know how they're going to act.
But okay, so mistake number one evan kind of on you.
But you took Natalie to the party. She had too
much to drink, So so what does that mean?

Speaker 14 (55:25):
Well, okay, so at one point, I go to the
bathroom and I come back out and there's this circle
that's kind of formed on the dance floor, and I go,
I go to this circle because I can't find her anywhere,
and there she is doing the worm in front of everybody.

(55:48):
I mean, like my top manager is there, laughing his
face off.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Okay, wait a minute, entertained, like it wasn't like, you know,
she didn't do anything offensive.

Speaker 7 (55:59):
It sounds like it went over like they.

Speaker 16 (56:02):
Were laughing at her.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
Okay, all right, so you're embarrassed because here she is
a little overserved and she's doing the worm and your
your boss is watching. So that's it. That's enough. Like,
I mean, okay, people have a little too much to drink.
You left her own supervised. It's your fault.

Speaker 14 (56:16):
No, No, it got worse.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
I wish that was I wish that was it.

Speaker 14 (56:23):
Unfortunately, we went on the rest of the night and
she was going on, carrying on and whatnot, and to
the to a point where I was kind of ignoring
her to a certain extent, and then she kind of
disappeared again on me, and I went looking for her
and she was outside with all the it guys and

(56:45):
smoking a joint.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Oh it looks like she made herself, right, guy, I
gotta say, at least you didn't have to babysit her.
I mean, everyone seemed to love her. She was alive
of the party. Yeah, I mean sort.

Speaker 14 (56:57):
Of until her rendition of Metallica's under Sandman.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
Oh wait, when did that happen?

Speaker 14 (57:05):
Yeah, it was. We had a karaoke section at the party.

Speaker 7 (57:08):
A nice little what sort of a character?

Speaker 1 (57:12):
I would have got.

Speaker 5 (57:14):
Smoke say something.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
You certainly made. Evan. I'm sorry, I forgot that Natalie
is yours. You've been listening. I'm very forgetful, like I
so cut up in the story, enter Sandman.

Speaker 9 (57:24):
Huh yeah, but hold on.

Speaker 5 (57:27):
This has nothing to do with the song. It has
nothing to do with karaoke. It has everything to do
with that. Like I guess, I just I'm sorry that
like your coworkers like me more than you, that's it.
But like I'm fun, like everyone there loved me, Like.

Speaker 9 (57:44):
I just get it.

Speaker 7 (57:45):
It does sound fun, honestly like it.

Speaker 4 (57:47):
I loved that. You know, you made yourself right at home.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
And I don't know jealousy. That's jealous?

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Is that diseasy? Did they like they like Natalie more
than haven't fun.

Speaker 12 (58:00):
Already hung out with I've already hung out.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
With two of his coworkers after the party.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
Well, so your friends now, so we don't even need
Evan anymore.

Speaker 4 (58:08):
Forget about Evan, but we've gotten together. Did you know that, Evan?
Did you know that you made friends?

Speaker 1 (58:15):
Now? This is news to me.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
And they actually want Natalie. What were you saying?

Speaker 5 (58:18):
They actually they want me to apply for a job there?

Speaker 10 (58:21):
Like this is exactly why will never.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
Because you know what, you know what happened.

Speaker 5 (58:31):
Maybe that just means that they didn't hate me, or
I didn't embarrass you as much as you just felt
embarrassed on your own to do with me.

Speaker 1 (58:42):
Big tim you know, I've known you for years. I
don't even know this man. But he comes to the
holiday party or the potluck or whatever. I'm gonna get
his number. He are gonna be boys. We're gonna go
out and have dinner, talk about you. It's gonna be great.
That's what happened here. So Evan, you're you'll be doing
the wiring up in here. It sounds like it sounds
like this wasn't really as bad for you as you think.

Speaker 7 (59:04):
It was.

Speaker 5 (59:06):
Great for him and me.

Speaker 14 (59:08):
They're still talking about it at work. I'll never live
this down never.

Speaker 7 (59:13):
They're talking about.

Speaker 12 (59:13):
It because they had a good time. You're the only one.

Speaker 5 (59:17):
That I guess didn't enjoy themselves, and that's.

Speaker 12 (59:21):
Unfortunate because everyone else did.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (59:27):
I would want to they And the thing is they
reached out to me.

Speaker 14 (59:30):
I didn't.

Speaker 5 (59:31):
They asked me for my number, they followed me on Instagram,
they reached out to me. They asked if I wanted
to go get coffee like it was not my instigation.

Speaker 1 (59:44):
Watch out.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
Perhaps it will then as embarrassing as you are leading
them to believe.

Speaker 4 (59:53):
Okay, look, you get over there.

Speaker 5 (59:54):
We're just embarrassed by yourself.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
Can you get over this? Like apparently people had a
good time with her and she's fun. It is she
too much for you? Is that what this is?

Speaker 7 (01:00:03):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
You want some you want someone who's subdued. Someone's gonna
follow you around not say anything. Is that? Is that
what this is about? Because I mean, I don't think
it went over as poorly as you think it did,
or at least according to her, it didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:00:13):
No, but you know what, it didn't go over poorly,
but this did.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
And I'm out, oh wow, ahead, and you're about to
get to motive when she gets that job as a
supervisor at your office?

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
How to clean that cubicle?

Speaker 5 (01:00:24):
Yeah, I see, I'm professional enough to not allow my
emotional feelings to interfere with my work.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
She's a professional who can do the worm and apparently
relate to all sorts of people. Those it guys are
hard to crack man. Yeah, welcomed you in the circle
exactly that's so that didn't happen around I've known these
people for years and I'd like me to hang out
smoke weed.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
But I'm going to tell you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
That Slav he ain't hanging out with me. You kidding me,
Engineer Karen not inviting me out? I know, I know,
all right, Look, so she's not interest you anymore? Which
is this? This happens sometimes but not very often where
the person who asks to figure this out now is out.
So Evan, I'm sorry I wasted your time, but I

(01:01:10):
guess it doesn't matter.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
She doesn't want to go.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Out with you anyway.

Speaker 14 (01:01:12):
That's totally fine, the feelings mutual.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
But when you see her in the break room, Natalie,
good luck to you. Thank you for your time as well.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
It one's entertainer report.

Speaker 2 (01:01:24):
He's on the Fread show.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
All right, So I'm continuing my little review of things
I watched over our break The next will be.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Heated rivalry.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Okay, that was the thing that was like all over
social media.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
I feel like everyone was talking about it. Jason can
attest to this, and it was.

Speaker 3 (01:01:44):
The one that I felt like, I'm gonna get fomo
if I don't see what the hell this is all about.
It's only six episodes. You may have heard of it
as the Gay Hockey Show. It's based on Rachel Read's
Game Challengers book. Series follows two rival professional hockey players,
Canadian Shane Hollander and Russian Ilia rosenof By the way,

(01:02:04):
Ilia is not Russian at all. He found out he
got the role a week before they started acting. He
learned Russian in a week, and every Russian person who
is like heard or seen the show said that his
accent is perfect the way he speaks, which is like
so hard to do. He learned in a week how
to pass forward Russian, which is crazy anyway. So they're

(01:02:28):
these hockey players that professionally are supposed to hate each
other in the media, but they're secretly doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:33):
Only six episodes, boy, they are doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:36):
It's already been renewed for season two, and it has
the stamp of approval from lots of celebs, like Miley Cyrus,
who says she wants to get on the soundtrack. Lots
of people have been trying to figure out outline though
why the show's biggest fans are straight women, and they're
trying to figure out psychologically what's going on? One joke
that after she watched it, she doesn't know if she's

(01:02:58):
really really straight or.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
If she's actually a gay man.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
Because why are all these street women wanting to watch
these two men do it?

Speaker 2 (01:03:05):
And why is it doing something for them? Do you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:03:08):
Another theory was that it's nice to see men have
such like an emotional connection, like, oh, they are capable
of that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Guys, But it's not uncommon for straight women to enjoy
watching content with men together, right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
I think it's more common for straight women to watch
women together. Okay, I don't know a lot of women
who watch that, but now, honestly, I might start because.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
I think everyone I felt everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:03:38):
Yeah, I know, my stepkadd running. My Steven kept running
out of the room. I'm like, you're not gonna catch it.
Come back in here, and he's like, no, I'm not
watching it. I'm like, oh, but you'd watch two women,
I'm sure. He's like, well, yeah, that's fine. I'm like, okay, please.

Speaker 17 (01:03:51):
Anyways, the show is spicy, pretty softcore, but gossip blogger
Dumoa was people are trying to handle her overbreak for
outing one of the two main dudes because he's actually
straight in real life and has a girlfriend, which cracks
me up.

Speaker 3 (01:04:07):
In twenty twenty five, we were outing people for being
straight and people are mad about it.

Speaker 9 (01:04:11):
The way I kind of love it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:13):
It's still hot.

Speaker 11 (01:04:15):
That was like, like, it's our time, let's out people
for being straight and every cold because I think for
they were media trained to be very like flirty during
their press tour, and I think they didn't want the
fans to know that he had a girlfriend and he straight.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Perhaps to him for being able to do all the
love making scenes though, okay, well being straight. They say
they're just best friend, so it makes it not weird,
but I feel like that would be hard for me
to do with my best friend. In all seriousness, it's
an important show, gay love story.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Good to see.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
It's positive, and it's also what a lot of closeted
professional athletes go through. So there you go, something else
to watch on HBO. I think we are yep, we're
running out of time, so it's more Yeah, okay, so
let's talk Marty Supreme. I actually also saw that as well.
It earned Timothy Shallow may Best a at the Critics'

(01:05:01):
Choice Awards last night, not only was a big night
for him, you know, professionally he's kind of kicking off
award season, which with a big win, which I mean,
obviously that's what he's hoping for, but also personally because
he thinks Kylie Jenner during his speech calling her his foundation,
saying he couldn't have done it without her. I think
they've been together like three years now, which is crazy.

(01:05:22):
Then obviously very private, but had a lot of breakup rumors.
So happy they're still going strong. The movie was good.
It's like two and a half hours about a ping
pong player from the fifties. I know he was a
real dude. I think they did take some liberties Gwyneth Peltrow.

Speaker 4 (01:12:05):
I was so close.

Speaker 1 (01:12:06):
It was so close. But no, and if you hadn't
corrected yourself, then you would have lost.

Speaker 4 (01:12:12):
Yeah, I would have been tied at least.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
But it's a confusing one because you know, HBO max
the change to max, because why would you want to
say HBO It's not like everybody knows what that is. Uh,
And then they decided to go back to HBO max
because I wonder if someone got fired over that, Like
some marketing firm was like, guys, let's get rid of that,
that thing that everybody knows it's movies and stuff and TV.

Speaker 4 (01:12:33):
Let's get rid of that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:35):
That's silly, it's confusing.

Speaker 4 (01:12:38):
McDonald's.

Speaker 1 (01:12:38):
Let's just call it Burgers, you know, like, we don't
need that name is the Golden Arches?

Speaker 4 (01:12:44):
What need that for?

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
That's old right anyway? But you you did correct yourself,
so we're good. So there's no controversy to get off
the text that I want to hear it. I want
to see it to new Year, and I'm turning over
a new leaf. Okay, it's all positivity in twenty it
was all positivity in twenty twenty five, and it's all
positivity in twenty twenty six as well.

Speaker 4 (01:13:02):
How long do you think that will last?

Speaker 9 (01:13:03):
Till am, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:13:07):
A long way away.

Speaker 2 (01:13:09):
So last year the slogan was captain positivity.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
Now your slogan is all positivity, all positivity, all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Right when when people think of me, they're going to
think all positivity, Okay, not crimogony, not not you know,
half empty, not pessimistic, Oh no, oh no positive, captain
positive all the time. Here in I don't even I
can't even spit it out, like I don't even know

(01:13:35):
how to say it properly. Seven fifty and win number
one ninety six. I don't know what the wind streak
returns to. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:13:42):
It doesn't matter. It's a lot of money and you won.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Okay, that's all that matters.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):

I'm not sure, Yeah, have a good date.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
Okay you too, Bye order, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
A fresh show. It's Kiky's quite rizy. The Honorable Judge
Kiki is here. Ow if you would all right, let's.

Speaker 9 (01:14:05):
Get into the courtroom.

Speaker 10 (01:14:06):
Shout out to my girl Ali, who sent me this
one on TikTok.

Speaker 9 (01:14:09):
You can send your cases to me on social too.

Speaker 10 (01:14:11):
At on air, Kiki k e k e, It says Kiki,
Am I wrong for not changing my wedding date because
my sister is deciding to have a baby. Over the
holiday break, my sister decided to surprise our family with
a pregnancy announcement, and while I'm happy for her, she
revealed that her due date falls on the exact day

(01:14:33):
of my wedding. However, my destination wedding has been planned
for months. I already booked the venue, made deposits, in
scheduled travel arrangements. What's really bothering me is that when
I called it out, my mom, with no hesitation, said, oh,
you'll just have to change your date or push the
wedding back because your father and I will be at

(01:14:53):
the hospital with your sister.

Speaker 9 (01:14:55):
I was crushed.

Speaker 10 (01:14:56):
After talking it over with my fiance, we've decided that
we are not changing our wedding date and causing all
of our guests and inconvenience simply because my sister decided
to steal my moment once again?

Speaker 9 (01:15:08):
Am I wrong?

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
I mean, wow, you got to the jury eight five
five five nine three five judge Kiki?

Speaker 4 (01:15:17):
What say you?

Speaker 7 (01:15:18):
Look?

Speaker 9 (01:15:18):
I know you know I never made a baby before.
Ye never did that.

Speaker 10 (01:15:21):
But I feel like you decided to make this baby
when you knew your sister was getting married.

Speaker 1 (01:15:27):
Like, come home, bro, Well, I mean what you're saying,
and did a get masked sometimes ovulation schedule occasional nine months.
You're suggesting that she had the baby, or made the baby,
or tried to make the baby to upstage the wedding.
I do on purpose. That's what she said in her

(01:15:49):
life play that Well, yes, you you skared out of
the day.

Speaker 10 (01:15:54):
To come out, and then the pairent your mother. Oh
I am so triggered by the mother because you don't
even it's a consideration. I've already both traveled and destination
and makeup artists and all this stuff, and you just
tell me I need to change my date and you
won't be at my wedding. You you have all your
life to notice baby. Okay, one wedding day, bro, Like,
let me have something.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
I don't know, Am.

Speaker 2 (01:16:16):
I missing something?

Speaker 18 (01:16:18):
Because like it's not so easy sometimes to make a baby.
So if you know she's trying every time she's ovulating,
I don't think there's a way to do it on purpose,
you get one. I don't know, man, Like, if you're trying,
you just start trying, well fertile myrtle.

Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
The odds of the day or not very good.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
Yeah, that you're gonna go.

Speaker 10 (01:16:43):
Like the mom didn't even consist, Like it's just change
your date. Like I'm not even arguing.

Speaker 1 (01:16:47):
And I hate to say this, but short of of
the of the daughter wanting the mom in the room,
I mean, there's nothing stopping them from going to the
wedding and then flying to meet their grandchild the same
day or next day. Like it's possible to just do
all of this, That's what I think. But no, you don't.
We don't just move weddings around because someone else is
having a baby.

Speaker 4 (01:17:07):
No, exactly, No, that's.

Speaker 9 (01:17:09):
What I say.

Speaker 10 (01:17:10):
I think the parent I mean, no one's taken the
bride into consideration here.

Speaker 1 (01:17:13):
And I feel bad.

Speaker 10 (01:17:14):
About this, and I love that she's hear and her
fiance are standing on business and they're like, listen, if
you want to miss our wedding, hey, go for it,
you know, But I don't think it's right.

Speaker 8 (01:17:24):
Yeah, she will miss the wedding because she'll be about
to pop like the day of the wedding, right whether
first of all, she's probably not gonna have the baby
on the wedding day. The little chances are also very
slim and low. I mean it could happen, of course,
but very slim. But she is not gonna fly when
she's you know, forty weeks pregnant or whatever, so she
won't be there. But yeah, I think the grand par.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
Forty weeks forty weeks? How many weeks is forty weeks?

Speaker 12 (01:17:46):
It is?

Speaker 2 (01:17:46):
I mean I should know this. Yeah, I've been forty weeks.
I don't very fast math.

Speaker 8 (01:17:54):
No, I was induce ad thirty nine weeks because my baby,
Yeah it was a week.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
Early, right, So yeah, well she's not going to the wedding,
that's no. Yeah, she won't be there. Don't save her
a plate.

Speaker 10 (01:18:03):
That's terrible, though, your only sister not able to be
beside you at your wedding. On top of that your
parents completely, just say forget you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:12):
Holena is not at her sister's wedding. I was not because.

Speaker 9 (01:18:15):
I'm you were the sister. I was the sister.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Well, I didn't plan it this way and known yea, I.

Speaker 8 (01:18:22):
Was pregnant my own wedding too, but I where I
could get a schedule. I didn't follow my schedule for sure,
but I didn't want my sisters because I could have
got to ask for that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Yeah, I didn't download it in time, and now here
we are.

Speaker 8 (01:18:34):
I didn't go to my own sister's wedding, and she
she came to mind, but like she could and all.

Speaker 2 (01:18:39):
But I feel bad. I still do feel bad about it.

Speaker 8 (01:18:41):
But I, for medical reasons, couldn't travel after I think
it's like thirty five weeks or something.

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
I don't expect people to be planning because to Kalin's point,
like it usually doesn't work, like you know, the first
time we try, it happens for some people, it does,
but usually it's a bit of a process, and so
you don't really know, and you know, you're probably not
thinking that way, like, well, you know, if we do
it now, it's possible. If I'm pregnant, it done right, right,
I don't. I don't think it's that like that, but

(01:19:08):
I don't. You're right. I hate to say this, but again,
the wedding will happen once. Hopefully the baby will be
around for a long time. You could meet the baby
later in the day. I mean, you're not unless you're
delivering the baby physically. The obgy and delivering the baby.
You don't have to be there right then. Everybody can
have everything here.

Speaker 9 (01:19:25):
That's what I say.

Speaker 4 (01:19:26):
We don't need to do one or the other.

Speaker 9 (01:19:28):
The baby can't even see you, like you're blur.

Speaker 1 (01:19:30):
They don't know who you are.

Speaker 9 (01:19:32):
You know, like you don't need to do skin this
game with the baby and the grant.

Speaker 7 (01:19:35):
But you're supporting your daughter giving birth.

Speaker 10 (01:19:38):
Put me on a FaceTime call, Mom. We got one
day in Cabo for the wedding. Come on now, it's tough.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
Yeah, I'm going through these texts eight five, five, five,
nine one three five. You can call on text. Keep
the wedding, dad, I mean, come on, you can't make
everybody happy. Nina says, I'm with Kiki danit an uninvited
end of story.

Speaker 9 (01:19:59):
Okay inviting.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
Uhlana says, I don't buy that the sister did it
on purpose, but I feel like the parents are in
the wrong. That was just me.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
I'm perfect, like wild kid right like that.

Speaker 7 (01:20:12):
Is well the goalie leading up to the way.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
All right, guys, let me take care. So to the
math forty weeks backwards. There came up and then all right.

Speaker 10 (01:20:21):
Nobody needs to be getting busy around my wedding, like
you know what I say, get it together?

Speaker 1 (01:20:25):
Yeah, okay, so I'll be sure, okay when roughly when
you getting.

Speaker 9 (01:20:30):
Married September of twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
All right, so let me think about this.

Speaker 1 (01:20:33):
Was that nice? I will not be having I will
not copulate in January of twenty twenty seven, just in case.
Shot close up shot right, and everyone around me has
to be sterile. Yes, no one here is having any
kind of intimate relations in December or January. Way this
time next year, we're we're doing dry January. But it's

(01:20:54):
a different kind of drive.

Speaker 7 (01:20:55):
I already stopped. We ain't have no babies, yeah right,
you hear me, Kay.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
Right, Jason, j No one's getting pregnant that out. You
know what, I'm just gonna get a preemptive vaseectimate. Yes,
you need just so there's no way that I would
have any kind of baby and miss your wedding.

Speaker 9 (01:21:16):
I'm not playing with y'all, Lana.

Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
So you're it was on purpose? La, You're in the
no on purpose camp. Okay, my bad, Lana.

Speaker 7 (01:21:27):
That was me.

Speaker 13 (01:21:29):
It's really hard to get pregnant on purpose. To plan
that out so far in advance, I'd be like diabolical.

Speaker 12 (01:21:35):
Honestly, I feel like the only.

Speaker 1 (01:21:36):
People who get pregnant that the moment, like that, the
very second they possibly can. Of the people who the
doctor said that they couldn't, like my sister, we were
talking about this over the break. My sister got married
and got pregnant almost like boom boom and so, and
the doctor was saying that she may never be able
to get pregnant, Like this is gonna ah man, this
is going to take years if it happens at all.

Speaker 4 (01:21:59):
Boom.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
First try so this whole thing where people are looking
at the calendar, and I think you got to be
like ultra fertile for that to happen.

Speaker 4 (01:22:07):
No one's doing it on purpose. Yeah, so wait, but
what do you do though?

Speaker 1 (01:22:13):
Like? Do you how do you? Mom? Do you try
and do it both both things? You go to the
wedding and then jump on a plane and fly and
you know, I mean, how do you You can't pick one
or the other.

Speaker 13 (01:22:25):
Yeah, I mean it's unfortunate that they're both happening on
the same day. But like, presumably the sister who's pregnant
had a wedding and her parents were there, so I
think it's fair. It's only fair for the parents to
be at their daughter's wedding and then they can go
see the baby after the fact. To immediately say, just
immediately say yeah, that's not we're not coming to your

(01:22:46):
wedding anymore. That's really like a heart for the things
to hear.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
Yeah, yeah, thank you, Lana, have a good day you too.
I can't believe the number of people who are in
the she did it on purpose camp, that's right, we
stand strong, Ashley. You're saying the same thing. How do
you do it on purpose? I mean, look, I am
not a woman. I act like you know, I'm very moody.

Speaker 4 (01:23:10):
Yes, because you can be moody, is what.

Speaker 1 (01:23:12):
I'm saying about you, and I can be equally moody,
which is why I can say it she planned it, yeah, asked.

Speaker 3 (01:23:18):
But you don't it's so difficult for some women, though
you don't know that it's going to be that.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
My not understanding about how this all works is that
it's a very small window of opportunity. Correct.

Speaker 13 (01:23:29):
If she knew that her sister was having a wedding
soon within a year at least, I wouldn't even have
tried to have a baby.

Speaker 12 (01:23:36):
I would have been like, no, there's.

Speaker 13 (01:23:37):
No way I'm going to try to have a baby
right now, just in case I get pregnant.

Speaker 1 (01:23:42):
I'm upstaining. Yes, I mean, I suppose it's like I
don't want to be pregnant in the photos. Maybe I guess,
but I don't know that people are thinking like that. Well,
I mean, you are.

Speaker 10 (01:23:53):
My maid of honor, you are my girl, you're my
right hand bro.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
But nine months out, so I'm supposed to know the
date and then I'm supposed to do what we're joking about,
and I'm supposed to say, okay, and Kik is getting
married in September of next year, which means December and January.
Nobody be doing anything around here that would potentially affect
my availability in September of twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 9 (01:24:18):
That is the rule for us, and all the list.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
There's a lot of factors that mean it's not always.

Speaker 2 (01:24:25):
You can't always do.

Speaker 10 (01:24:25):
This, I mean, but also as a sister, right, and
also as a sister, you should say, Mom, I appreciate
you wanting to be there to support us, but please
go to my sister's wedding.

Speaker 9 (01:24:37):
You came to my wedding.

Speaker 10 (01:24:39):
Yeah, yeah, I understand, like the sister's not even standing
up for her and saying like, no, Mom, the right
thing to do is be there for my sister, the
baby here when you get back.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
You don't have to be there right at that moment.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
I agree, you can be there within twenty four hours,
and I don't know that people wouldn't appreciate that. Again,
it's sad if the plan was that they would be
in the room, the mom would be there with but
I don't maybe that maybe that's not a necessary part
of this and everybody can get what they want all
within in you know, uh uh, in expedient manner. I'll
go to your wedding, I'll jump on a plane, if

(01:25:13):
fly home, I'll meet my grandkid and it will all
happen and everybody went right.

Speaker 13 (01:25:17):
But that is exactly what the figure.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
Thank you Ashley have a good day.

Speaker 3 (01:25:23):
You can't try for years, and then you're saying she
planned to.

Speaker 12 (01:25:33):
Sorry, sorry, my god, sorry, not sorry. I need a
doctor to note so I know when the sister actually
found out she got pregnant. Because how you're telling me that,
all of a sudden, your d day's exact same day
as my as my wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
I don't believe. Well, what difference does it make the
day you found out. It's not like you can go
the day you found out she can go. I'd like
to schedule this for you. Can They wouldn't the thing
is growing in you only within a certain period of time.

Speaker 2 (01:25:59):
A baby, because I feel like you wouldn't be saying
this stuff if.

Speaker 12 (01:26:01):
You have okay, totally no, I don't need kids, okay, right, I.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
Mean if you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:10):
Okay, I need to call my OBG and friend on
the phone. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
I saw him recently, by the way, get doctor man.
It's so weird to me that I'm friends with the organiccologists.
It's very strange. And he comes up to me at
events and I'm like, you know some stuff, but any
and he delivered your baby. But it's not that simple.
And I understand that you can schedule a C section,
or you can schedule an inducement. But the act is
the clock is already ticking, the bomb is already going

(01:26:36):
to go off.

Speaker 12 (01:26:37):
It's not like I can move that around scheduling. It's
not the scheduling. But it just sounds interesting, because then
why would I plan my wedding when I already know
my sister is pregnant and do around that day?

Speaker 4 (01:26:47):
And how vindictive?

Speaker 1 (01:26:48):
Ay for a different day, Tierra, How vindictive are you
that you say, oh, my sister's getting married. Watch this? Well?

Speaker 13 (01:26:56):
I love my siblings, but my mommate is petty with bell,
So I.

Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
All right, at least you're honest, but this is shocking information.
Thank you so much, have a great day.

Speaker 2 (01:27:07):
Thank you.

Speaker 12 (01:27:08):
Love you guys.

Speaker 4 (01:27:08):
I did love you too.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
This is wild.

Speaker 4 (01:27:10):
Christina, good morning.

Speaker 14 (01:27:12):
How are you you know?

Speaker 1 (01:27:14):
Help? I don't know.

Speaker 12 (01:27:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:27:16):
I can understand a guy calling up here like like
a dummy, like one of us going on, But ladies,
I guess I think you guys understand how difficult this
would feed you to accomplish if it's on purpose.

Speaker 16 (01:27:27):
Oh, I guess like it can't be on purpose because
you can't you know, you can't time pregnancy, but like
having having had a traumatic birth, you want your mom there.
Like I understand you're getting married and that's beautiful and
and everything, but like if you if your parents travel

(01:27:48):
to your destination wedding and you and your other daughter
who's pregnant dies or do the baby or both are
very very sick, Like your mind is not going to
be on the wedding. Your mind is only going to
be the daughter who's in the hospital or whatever, because
you cannot guarantee to help. My son was born, was
born lifeless. I almost led to that, like you don't

(01:28:09):
you don't know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
I got to think if that's yeah, of course, of
course I got to think so that if that's it,
But if we're high risk, or if there's any sort
of like indication that we're there's an emergency, I gotta
think the wedding gets canceled at that point. And you
can be mad about that if you want, but like
that isn't necessarily within her control. You know that there

(01:28:33):
could be a catastrophe, but like the fact that they're
just happening around the same time, Like especially considering to
look at you, you have a wedding date almost two
years ahead.

Speaker 9 (01:28:43):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (01:28:44):
So if I then come to you and say, in
you know, I don't know a few months, not even
that it's nine eight months from your wedding, and go, yeah, sorry,
I know you've had it for two years, but I'm
planning something at the same time, and I'm not going
to be able to go. That's on me.

Speaker 4 (01:28:59):
Yes, that may me the jerky.

Speaker 9 (01:29:01):
Yes, yes, absolutely, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 16 (01:29:05):
And I just want to add though, like so she
can have a perfect pregnancy, because my pregnancy was perfect,
So you can have a perfect pregnancy with no indication.
Go to your thirty eight week appointment and your doctors
like go to the hospital, like you just you don't know,
And like I feel sympathy because this is definitely a
very tough situation for both of ladies. Like you can't

(01:29:25):
plan pregnancies. You do plan weddings, but it's like it's
just this unfortunate unfolding, and I think that the parents
need to be with a daughter that we got that
could be at rest.

Speaker 1 (01:29:35):
All right, fair enough, thank you, Christina, have a good one,
have a good day, all right, now, we got some
expertise here Ashley, you are a labor and delivery nurse. Hey, yes,
and we love nurses around here. Apparently some doctors listen
to this, but they don't want to admit it. Remember
that one lady came up to us at the children's
hospital for the fundraiser we did, and this lady comes
up and she's like, basically, she said to us in

(01:29:58):
the nicest way, I'm way too hard to be listening
to you, But you know your you dummies make me
make my day easier because then I go have to
go do smart like life saving stuff. But on the
way to do that, you dummies make me feel you know, normal,
is what she basically said to us. But actually you
you are not a dummy, and you understand how this
all works. Please give us some perspective.

Speaker 15 (01:30:18):
Okay, So to get that specific date, I'll admit it's
hard to do. It's purpose, but like the general area,
you kind of knew when you were trying to get
pregnant that it was going to happen around that time.
But I will say she should not change her date.
She should keep her wedding as it is, because the
likelihood of her sister having that baby on that exact

(01:30:40):
date is low. You know, you don't always have your
baby exactly at your du date. So your mom has
the grandma has a chance to have like maybe see
the baby. Who knows, like even a month before, like
some babies come early, so she should keep her date.
And then who knows that she might be able to
give both she baby at the hospital and go to

(01:31:02):
the other sister's wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:31:04):
Okay, yeah, I like it to Ashley, thank you, have
a good day. Yeah, we're not moving anything. We're leaving
it all right there and we're hoping.

Speaker 12 (01:31:12):
For the best.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
Hey, Data, that's hard to do.

Speaker 1 (01:31:15):
Hello, Hi, I'll turn your radio down please. And you
also are a labor and delivery nurse. Shouldn't you be
delivered a baby? Is anyone delivering a baby right now?
Is anyone attending to anyone? No?

Speaker 4 (01:31:26):
No, no.

Speaker 12 (01:31:26):
I used to be a labor and delivery nurse for
a long time, and I hear what everyone is saying,
But I kind of think that parents are in the
wrong here. They need to attend the sister. I always
said in the delivery room, if you were there for conception,
then you should be there for delivery. If you weren't

(01:31:47):
there for concession, there is no reason for you to
be in that room when the baby is born. You
can see the baby after after the wedding. That's a
big like, that's a big thing. That's just my thought
on it.

Speaker 1 (01:31:59):
Well, and I here, I hear the emergency situation, but
if it's really dire, I got to think there's not
going to be a wedding anyway, which is unfortunate as
that is, I'm not going to have my wedding if
my sister's on her you know, in an emergency situation,
we're not celebrating in that case, we're probably rethinking the
whole thing, but we're hoping and assuming that everything's going

(01:32:19):
to go well and normally right. So that's not really
in consideration because again, if I'm not yeah, wow, that
timing is unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
But like if if we're days out and it's.

Speaker 1 (01:32:29):
Like this isn't going well, my sister's in the hospital,
you know, we have serious life threatening complications or we're
thinking about that, that's different.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
It sucks.

Speaker 3 (01:32:39):
So because both girls deserve to have their mom with
them at those moments if they want that, I understand
like she feels differently, but you both deserve to have
your mommy if you want her.

Speaker 2 (01:32:49):
You know, I agree to your mommy. Yeah, mom, sometimes
you need your mommy.

Speaker 10 (01:32:54):
Yes.

Speaker 12 (01:32:55):
But I also think if the mom doesn't go to
this girl's wedding, like down the road, there is gonna
be this little bit of resentment towards the mom and
dad for not attending this big life event, and it's
gonna affect when they have kids. And it's like it's
like the first sister is the number one sister is

(01:33:16):
what I'm like getting this.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
Unfortunately they are big both like.

Speaker 12 (01:33:23):
They are both big life events. But I still think
the mom and the dad can go see the grandchild
after the baby's born. They need to attend the wedding
the baby is because here's the thing, mom and dad,
when that baby comes out, you never ever get those
moments back alone as a family for the very first

(01:33:45):
time ever again in your life. And if you immediately
pull out your phone and start taking pictures and face
timing and hear grandma like here Grandpa, it just takes
away that stuck give yourself that time. This is to
anyone having a baby. This is just my thought, Like
I just think you should take that time to be
a family of three. Grandma doesn't live with you. Grandma

(01:34:08):
is not a caregiver. Like Grandma can come later in
the day after the wedding is over and hop on
a plane and do the things because she was a
you know, she had little kids at one point. She
can manage. Like I just I just don't think she
should miss the wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:34:21):
I think it's possible, it's very possible that they can
have the wedding, and even if that's the day that
labor takes hours and hours and hours, and then you're
right jump on the plane after the wedding and then
you're there and everybody, everybody wins. And I know that
there's a timeline, like a ticking timeline on this, like
once you're pregnant, it's happening in a certain period of time.
But I also think like whoever announced the big event

(01:34:45):
first takes precedence because it's like no meaning that Mom's
going to the wedding, and because I imagine if and
I guess the reason I bring this up is because
you could say, well, you could move yours, but like
if you say you're pregnant and then I say, oh good,
I'm gonna have my wedding.

Speaker 4 (01:35:02):
In nine months then like that makes me a jerk.

Speaker 1 (01:35:05):
So I just think, like we I don't know, maybe
be considerate of the fact that these major life events
are happening. As much as we joke about maybe not
having a baby on purpose around this time, right because
it's so easy, Maybe we don't. I don't.

Speaker 12 (01:35:18):
Yeah, this is not ok Just like Kiki, that wedding
was planned way longer than nine months ago.

Speaker 9 (01:35:24):
Okay, the girl I'm trying to picture.

Speaker 3 (01:35:27):
Someone tell Paulina that Gigi's having a baby and she
wants her mommy in that room, and Paulina, Oh, I'm.

Speaker 8 (01:35:34):
Going I'm going listen, like get the passport ready, like
mom's gotta hop plain hop because that's what we're doing,
Like your mom are going to both if if I'm
the daughter, I'm having a baby and I want my
mom there, and I did.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
My My mom was holding my leg okay, like I
wanted her there, like she was gonna hop on.

Speaker 3 (01:35:46):
I want to help make it. Sometimes isn't the most helpful, No,
my mom, she had to be there.

Speaker 4 (01:35:51):
I was the weird part as I was holding the
other one having a day.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
The first responder was in the lobby with the cigar
voice in his boots and the Centers clipboard. It's the
fun Fact is missed more Bread Show. Next, The Fread
Show is on Fread's Fun Fact.

Speaker 4 (01:36:24):
So much, guys. I know you've missed this.

Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
I know you've missed this and many of you your
days and been able to even properly be executed because
for two weeks now, well have we been doing it
to do old ones?

Speaker 2 (01:36:36):
Oh we certainly did. Never you guys, the good stuff
like never mind, he came in, Just do that, John exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:36:45):
Never mind. I take it back, I take it back.
You have been learning and your day has been complete,
it's been great. Did you know? And this is going
to blow your mind? You have two brains. Basically, you
have a second brain. The enteric nervous system is in
your gut and it has over one hundred million neurons,

(01:37:08):
more than a cat's brain, and it operates independently from
your actual brain.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
It controls.

Speaker 1 (01:37:16):
Digestive functions, mobility, secretion, which is a gross word without
direct communication with the brain. It's responsible for stuff like swallowing,
enzyme release, blood flow regulation, and can influence mood and
mental health by producing neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine.

Speaker 2 (01:37:37):
That's why I'm telling y'all, gut health is the key
to the emotions. Prebiotic, probiotic.

Speaker 14 (01:37:43):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:37:44):
Aaron whatever her name is, what's a the lady's name,
the sideline reporter for Fox who did those commercials for
so long, Aaron Andrews, And you do like for years
it was gut health commercials. I'm like, I'm serious, Lady,
tell me who's injured. Tell me about my stomach now
