the hives and the whatever else, and then made her

(00:22):
way to Nashville for a bachelorette party and looked thriving. Yes,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
She went on a journey last week.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, yeah, from the bottom to the top. Now we're here,
you can considered Nashville at a bachelorette party the top.
I don't know if I do. Shelley still had a baby,
which means Shewby's keky again today.

And by today I mean like the next two and
a half months. So yeah, yeah you. Eleven and one
is your record in our pop culture game five questions.
Normally it's our pop culture expert Showbiz Shelley, she had
a baby. Kiki's filling in eleven and one three hundred
bucks game wind streak. If you don't lose before Shelley
comes back, and you only wind up with one loss

(01:06):
and you get to keep the money whatever that money is.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
I'm scared.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
I'm so scared. It's a lot of anxiety and I
had to kill them for the last baby. I had
to do it. I'm not doing it again, I said no.
I put my foot down. I said absolutely not not
having Kiki's doing it.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yep, And I'm shaking in my boots. I don't know
something about Monday's. They just make me more nervous, like
I haven't seen Kaylen in a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
She's feeling dangerous. I don't know terrified.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Well, because Kaylen writes the question. So if she's feeling dangerous, yeah,
so much power, right, I know who knew? You're wielding
all the power of the Friend show waiting by the phone.
Why didn't somebody get ghosted new? We'll do that this morning.
Kiki's Court also a Monday tradition. By I'm bump girl.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's just the name.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's just a name, just a name, just.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
A name, till it's not be wild to call.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You rights today. There's no place like Vegas. There's no
higher achy there Archie. Oops, it's just a bunch of
degenerates with the same common goal. Well, I don't know, Okay,
I think there are a lot of goals in Vegas.
I mean there's the drunk goal, there's the gambling goal,
there's the drug goal, there's the maybe the ladies.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
To be a degenerate though, like everyone has a nefarious goal,
and like I was talking about this with Jason, and
there's just there's no one's better than the other.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
We're all just, you know, we want to just have
a bad good time. The land of the equal.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, except that's true.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
They go for shows.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
I feel like they think they're better than every.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
I just go for the shows in the eating. Y's
your way of saying, like, I'm not like the rest
of you, you're better.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Than Yes, yeah that's true, that's true.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I agree, I agree. I just I just go to
eating for the shows. That's that's the people saying to you,
I'm not like you. I don't gamble, I'll go to
the club. I don't you know what. You're right, You're
exactly right.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yes, I turned into that. Yeah that is me. I
am the person.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
I am the one you go to your shows because
we're trying to be degenerates.

Speaker 6 (03:17):
Okay, roller Coaster in Vegas for my wedding, Like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
It's a lot going on Kaeln was changing outfish.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Yeah, listen, I love it. It's a beautiful place.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
I we do.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I have one tear going down my face right now.
It's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
I mean it is that place, right it's you know,
anything goes what happened in Vegas? So yeah, I had
the extra drink, you know, have the extra food. What
I was Vegas? Man, you know that's what you're supposed
to when you're there. How was the trip you were
going Thursday through yesterday? How was the trip? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (03:48):
And I went Wednesday night, So like that's a long
time to be in vague, you know.

Speaker 8 (03:52):
It was a.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
It was a difficult adventure.

Speaker 5 (03:55):
I decided to embark on going to Vegas for four
nights in a row.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
That's a little bit too much.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
But it was fun, lots of I don't know, basketball,
but then that ended sadly for me. I didn't really
gamble as one would think I would, but yeah, just
ate some good food.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I guess, lay degenerate gambler. Why didn't you gamble in Vegas?
Is it just not as appealing when it's just you know,
everywhere you look, It's it's a little better when it's
just on your phone and it feels a little.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Yeah, yeah, it feels like naughtier that way or something.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
And then I tried to use my app but it
says because I wasn't in Illinois, I couldn't use it
in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
But I don't know, just yeah, it wasn't the vibe.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Jason's contribution This morning, A spider was hanging from the
ceiling in my kitchen today. Yes, now they have gone
too far. This is a bathroom insect. What are you
doing in the kitchen.

Speaker 9 (04:49):
Exactly by my food? How dare you? Like?

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 10 (04:53):
I hate seeing a spider in the shower. But at
this point, okay, if you're gonna be anywhere, like that's
an except doable spots, right, Like, I'm vulnerable, I'm naked,
I'm wet, there's water everywhere, right, but like, okay, if
I'm going to see you anywhere in my home, then like,
oh my.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
God, I had a sip of coffee in my mouth
when you said that, just get it everywhere. The text
I'm looking for on a Friday night isolate.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
That was hands and my god, I'm naked, I'm wet,
I'm in the shower, I mean, it's me.

Speaker 10 (05:24):
There is a lot going on, but like, Okay, I
can avoid the spider in the shower, right, of course,
But for it to be hanging from my ceiling in
the kitchen to a point where I almost walked right
into it like in the walkway, Like, no, bro, you gotta.

Speaker 9 (05:39):
Chill, like you got to chose. You're doing too much.

Speaker 10 (05:41):
Yeah, take several seats, And so I took a lot
of pleasure in squashing him. I had to do it.
How dare I to set you know, a lesson or whatever?
An example? Yeah, it's I tell your friends first, and
now I'm gonna kill you.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
And he's talking, will tell his friends back in the
nest or whatever the spiders dan wherever they live because
he's no longer with us. Yeah, I mean, what was
he thinking? Everyone knows. Everyone knows that spiders only belong
to the bathroom. Everyone knows that the number one about
being a spider.

Speaker 10 (06:14):
Right, what's next? The bedroom? Absolutely not. You got to
stop it here, exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, But as we learn, your fear of spiders was not.
In fact, you learned that over time for whatever reason,
I don't know, a spider bit you or if someone
told you to be afraid of spiders because in the
fun fact that last week of the week before, we
learned that what is it the fear of falling and
something else fears, yeah, but but not not the fear

(06:42):
of spiders. So you taught yourself that.

Speaker 10 (06:44):
Yeah, that seems about It was probably like impression, you know,
it's an impression from others. So I feel like that's
a common fear, right, But spiders, I've never had a
spider bit bite me, like Spider.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Man, Spider Man.

Speaker 10 (06:57):
I just don't like, like, I just don't like how
they they'd be moving, you know, like.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
They never had a spider bite me. Okay, like just
a guy on in Boystown dress like Spider Man. One.
Oh yeah, but you asked, but you wanted that. That
was something you wanted, Yes.

Speaker 9 (07:11):
And that spiders can be in any room that they
would like.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Is ond Friend's biggest stories of the day. Ay, So,
the final four has been set. Every team that entered
the twenty twenty five NCAA Men's basketball Tournament with the
top seed will play in the Final Four in San
Antonio this weekend. All four number one seeds in the
bracket made it to the Final four, which is rare.
It's been seventeen years since that has happened in tournament.

(07:40):
I guess in the history of the tournament has been
seventeen years. Number one Auburn survived against the second seed.
I'm sorry, Michigan State Spartan, sorry, I apologize, apologized, Caman.
Let's see Houston routed Tennessee, Florida, held off Texas Tech,
and then Duke took care of business against Alabama, so

(08:01):
you get the final four number one seeds. This weekend,
a United Airlines plane made contact with a kite while
it was attempting to land at Reagan National Airport on Saturday.
Airlines to the aircraft landed safely, customers did plane normally,
and upon inspection there was no damage to the aircraft.
The Metropolitan Washington Airport's authority rolls off the tongue so
that officers warned about some individuals flying kites in an

(08:26):
area near the airport. I guess. And then that was
after the Delta Airlines plane another one nearly crashed with
an air with an Air Force T thirty eight near DCA.
That was the day before Delta Airlines flight twenty nine
eighty three and Airbus three nineteen headed to Minneapolis. It
was on its way when four US Air Force T

(08:46):
thirty eight talents were inbound to Arlington National Cemetery for
a flyover the FASA. The Delta plane received an onboard
alert that another aircraft was nearby, and air traffic controllers
issued corrective instructions to both aircraft. The NTSB said that
they're aware of a loss of separation between Delta Flight
twenty nine eighty three and another aircraft shortly have to
take off from DCA. I mean, I'm a pilot. Still

(09:07):
don't know if this is all really just all happening
at once, or if we're just really hyper focused on it.
Because I think this kind of stuff is probably happening,
has been happening, and we just weren't talking about it,
or we didn't know, we weren't necessarily paying attention looking
for I think this kind of stuff has been happening,
and everyone's alive and okay, so I wouldn't worry too
much about it.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
So why you flying your kite near the airport?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
My first question, I've never thought to do that one time.
You know, why are we doing.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Stuff like this?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Is cool? I mean, I agree, but I guess if
you're just a normal kite flyer and you don't know
much about it, and you just a normal right, Well,
I don't know. I mean, you're just out there and
flying a kite your kid or something.

Speaker 9 (09:53):
Why.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I'm not sure who flies a kite except somebody with
a kid. But maybe the kid wanted to fly the
kite and here you are.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't know that same you fuck.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I mean, it's been some time, but I have to
admit it's been quite a while, perhaps many many years.
I who know exactly, But yeah, maybe maybe we don't
fly our like really our kites with very long strings
near the airport. I don't know. Come, man, is that?

(10:23):
Hey it's kiky for nine flying a kite netar the airport?
How are we doing with that? Flights have the airport?
Go fly your kite. But there should be a rule
you can't fly kite within certain distance from the airport. Yes,
let's work on that. Somebody won five hundred and twenty
seven million dollars in the California Powerball lottery jackpot. The
ticket was sold at A seven eleven in Anaheim. It's

(10:44):
only the second time that the California power Ball has
been won this year. The winner, who's currently unidentified, can
get paid over thirty years or a lump sum of
two hundred and forty three point eight million dollars, and
the seven eleven that's sold the ticket ITTs a million
bucks too. Another airline story, this one not about a kite,
but a guy is or excuse me, a woman issuing

(11:04):
American Airlines after a guy who sat next to her
made himself happy for an hour on a flight from
New York to Milan. I mean, I'm a little concerned
about that. Chasing the guy. He had many glasses of champagne,

(11:27):
and then he started experiencing things with himself, and then
the cabin lights dimmed. I guess to make things a
little more romantic for the guy. I don't know. A
woman asked the flight attendant if she could ask the
guy to stop. She was there was nothing she could do,

(11:47):
and apparently this is the quote. I'm sorry, this is
not funny for this woman who experienced this, But imagine
there's a passenger next to you doing this, and you
go to the flight attendant and you say, can you
make him stop? Right in front of him by the way,
and then the flood It says, and I quote, men
just do stuff like.

Speaker 9 (12:07):
No, no, we don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
It's actually terrible, don't We are more discriminate than that.
Sometimes Usually it isn't known how much the women's suing
for American Alliance so that they are reviewing the allegations
against the complaint and gen Z another day in their
gen Z story if we don't do food stories that
it's gen Z or sometimes you're lucky you get both.
But gen Z employees are streaming shows and movies while

(12:34):
working from home, and they lie to their bosses about it.
The survey found that eighty four percent of younger remote
workers binge TV while on the job. Forty eight percent
admitted to lying to their managers about it. Why would
they give you? One hundred percent of people? I want
to know is a person who flew the kite? And
did they write this story? Because of course you lie

(12:55):
about it, Like what are you gonna say to your
worry from home today? Did you get that project that?

Speaker 11 (12:59):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Oh man, I'm right in the middle of Bridgerton.

Speaker 12 (13:02):
Like.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
What are you gonna of course you're gonna lie about him.
Most use TV as background noise. Many procrastinate on work
to finish binge watching and are reluctant to return to
the office for fear of giving it up. I don't
think that would be the problem if I worked from
home consistently. I think my problem would be I wouldn't
get out of bed. I will probably work, or at

(13:24):
least appear to work. Like it's not that I wouldn't
get out of bed, like I wouldn't wake up in
time to go to work, but I can see myself
not getting out of bed and then have my laptop there,
and then before long, it's like three days and I
haven't showered, and I'm like Howard Hughes and I have
a four foot long beard and in bedstrees and whatever else,
because I don't know what would be what's my motivation

(13:44):
to get up? I mean, it's all right there. I
don't have to go anywhere.

Speaker 10 (13:47):
Yeah, I worked from home for a short period of
time when COVID first started, and I almost like force
myself into like having a habit, like a routine every day,
because it does get hard. You know, you get used
to not waking up at three am. That's like the
first thing. But then also like I'm like, okay, I
have to get up, back to shower. I have to

(14:07):
make my coffee, like I have to do all these
things by a certain time. Where I was like, you
go crazy, you do well.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
That's the thing. Like when I work remotely in Arizona.
The microphoney is in my bedroom, my childhood bedroom at
that where I used to pretend to play radio at
the exact same place. By the way, It's very strange
how things happen. And yet when I like, maybe in
the beginning of the week, I'll get up, like when
I would normally get up, I don't know, an hour

(14:33):
and a half before or whatever it is, whenever I
normally get up two hours before the show starts. And
so I'm doing the same thing, get up to I
pretend like I'm there, right, that's day one. I'm motivated, shower,
trim the beard, change my clothes. We're up where we're
doing things. And then I'm sitting here by myself for
ninety minutes, and you know, I can hear you guys talking,
But I forget this. By the end of the week,

(14:54):
I'm getting up like I don't know, thirty minutes before
I'm not showering. Everything's last minute. I don't know. I don't.
I think I could do it consistently. I think I
would just get very lazy. I think you have to
be very disciplined. If you wanted to work from home
all the time, I think you'd have to treat it
like you were going in because otherwise I don't know,
but I would think we've talked about this in the
past during COVID, I would think you get a lot

(15:15):
more done at because you could be doing two things
at once. Not watching TV, but you could be doing laundry,
you could be paying but you could be doing a
lot of other things that other people aren't watching you
do and also be working. So from that standpoint, I
think you could be really efficient.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, I agree with that, okay.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Or you could fly kite if you want to tip
very close to an airport. Shouldn't do that. But here's
my tip for the forty eight percent of people, or excuse me,
the fifty two percent of people who don't lie to
their managers about watching TV while working from home. I
would recommend lying. I don't often recommend lying, but I
would say to be dishonest about that. It's National prom Day,

(15:57):
National Bunching Burner Day. We love it. Bucks Murner around here.
I don't know why. I still don't. I don't understand
why that was an okay thing to do for thirteen
year olds in chemistry, to have just a wide open
flame at every station. I'm not sure why that was
a good idea, but it was a national tater tap
tape is today as well. The Entertainer Report will do
it next in two minutes. Tip to chef. We're on

(16:19):
waiting by the phone is new? What if somebody get
ghosted three hundred bucks to show this kik kiky scord?
Lots of stuff coming up the Entertainer Report. He's on
the Pread Show.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
Morgan Wallin was the musical guest on snl Over the Weekend.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Did anyone watch it? I didn't get to see it yet, Okay.

Speaker 5 (16:37):
So after performing a pair of songs, he briefly joined
the cast at the end of the show for you know,
when they all gather on stage. He then whispered something
to the host Mikey Madsen and like said something in
her ear, hugged her, and then walked off the stage
as the credits credits were rolling. Of course, everybody wants
to have an issue, and soon after that he shared
a photo of his private plane with the caption get

(16:59):
Me to God's Country. People thought it was super rude
for him to not stick around. I guess and say by.

Speaker 7 (17:05):
And yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
That was PJ. Where was Morgan Wallen on the night
of the incident, I'd like to know.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Yeah, I have no idea, but people were pissed at him,
and then someone from his camp was like, this is
how they rehearsed it. So he thought you were supposed
to walk off mid say goodbye, which I don't really yeah,
in front of the gamers, So I don't I don't
really buy that, but like that's what they're trying.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
I know.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I just want to let you know.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
So do we think because like the promos, he didn't
want to be there either, it seemed so is that
just him? Or do you think this was a bit
I mean, I mean, I don't know, like, did you
really not want to be there that badly?

Speaker 5 (17:44):
Or I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with
that man for a really long time. I just can't
put my finger on, like what the issue is, I mean,
amongst a lot of issues.

Speaker 9 (17:52):
So I think he's just over it.

Speaker 10 (17:54):
I don't think like New York doesn't seem like his
favorite place to be and around those people doesn't seemed
like that's his favorite group to be around.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
So I think he was album like, he should probably
not be over it because we're kind of like just beginning, right,
So he sounds.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Like his agent like, come on, cup it up. Yeah.
The album, by the way, is thirty two songs.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I think.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Yeah, so that's where he's been. I guess apparently, I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
Sidney Sweeney and former co star Glenn Powell reunited in
Dallas just days after she called off her wedding to
fiance Jonathan Devino. As for where they went, they were
at his sister's wedding rehearsal.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
And so I was like, humm, now, wait a minute.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Now.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
Apparently she was invited because she's close with his family,
and she went with his best friend.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
But how how you do a movie together? How close
to the fam you get with the family you.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
Called off your own wedding to go to somebody else's right.

Speaker 5 (18:52):
With someone that everyone thought you were doing when you
did a movie together.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
So I don't know.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
We got a lot of moving parts, But I retweeted
as someone post our friend Laguna be up. She said,
I feel like we've been watching these two break up
in slow motion for years, you know what I mean,
like her and this Jonathan guy, Like they still haven't
told us and we still don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
But there you go.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
There you have it.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
And Jessica Simpson drinks a Chinese herb cocktail that includes
snake ejaculate to help her.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Vocal cords it. Yeah, yeah, as long as you say
it slowly.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
I was like, well, they use the S word, but
I was like, I don't know if I can say that.
But she posted that she SIPs on this drink that
her vocal coach recommended, and she never told her that
was in there. I feel like that's definitely something you
need to warn someone of if you're gonna put that
in my drink, you know, so always give a warning.

(19:48):
But she says that helps.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Anyways, if you would like to hear more of this
show type of Fred Show on demandre iHeart Radio.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Did you lie to you growing up? Because I've had
this I've had this on my okay, all right, well
I'll see in therapy. No, but I've had this on
my list for a while and we just haven't gotten
to it. But what was the lie that your parents
told you growing up? And this is this is this

(20:23):
sit with you to this day eight five, five, five, nine,
one one three five you can call it text the
same number, because this list is coming from the perspective
of your parents did a great job with you if
you believed these lies. Okay, it's it's kind of funny actually,
But I'll go through this list and then we can
talk about the ones that I think are probably more

(20:45):
common for people. But or maybe you're the parent and
you're doing the lying now. I would love to hear
about it, because you probably like you were like I
would never do that to my kids, and then you're
doing it now because it's just easier. I think sometimes
my sister lies to my niece because it's it's just easier,
and it's a lie. You know, the toy store is closed,
the ice cream stores out of ice cream or whatever.

(21:08):
And by the way, probably and I had a very
long talk yesterday about and she just kept asking the
same question over and over again, and I kept answering
the same question. But apparently she's having a hard time
being a big sister because because May who was one
Polly's for Mayve is one Polly's maybe is boring? Oh yeah,
and I guess Polly tries to body slammer all the time.
It's like wwe except Maybe is not, you know, really

(21:31):
able to move her let limb. So so it's an
unfair advantage. And my sister and brother in law are like, hey,
you gotta like chill out. And then she's like, well,
this is boring, and then my sister says, well, why
don't you call Bubba? She calls me Bubba, why do
you call bubb and asked him what it was like
to be a big sibling? But she calls me what's
it like to be a big sibling? And then I
tell her and then she asked me the same question

(21:52):
again and I'm like why, I just told you, And
then she'd but Bubba, and it was almost like she
was proud she did the sentence, which she should because
she's brilliant, but it was no, but what's it like
to be a big sibling. I'm like, Poully, I just
told you. So yeah, so you know what, Now there's
a reception issue with the phone. Go figure it out.
By nobody slam the kid. I don't care. That's what

(22:14):
it's like. You know what it's like. Being a big
sibling is like body slamming somebody all the time. That's
that's what being a big sibling is like. Nonetheless, here
are the lies that you were told growing up, and
if you believe them. According to this author, your parents
did a great job. Number one, you can do anything
you want. Why A big, old lie, complete and total lie. However,

(22:40):
parenting experts are saying that if you believed that that
your parents did a nice job, telling that your kids
that they can do anything is a classic parenting technique.
It might be deceptive, but it serves a noble purpose.
It's meant to inspire hope, encouraging kids to embrace the
world instead of counting themselves out Of all the lies
you can tell your kids, of all the lies I
was told, that is not the worst. Sure, why not?

(23:03):
You cant do anything you put your mind to. Okay, great,
even if it's a lie. You got to eat your
vegetables to grow up big and strong. Not sure if
there's really even any proof of that, but yeah, you're
supposed to eat your vegetables. However, if you were able
to convince your kids that was a good idea and
they like broccoli and asparagus. Now, then I guess you
were a good parent. I won't be specific here, but

(23:25):
if your kids believed, or if you believe as a kid,
that certain things that aren't real were real, are you
picking up what I'm putting down?

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yes, if you believe that's certain things that are not
actually real or real, that means that you were raised
by good parents, because it means that the parents were
able to keep their kids' sense of wonder alive.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yes, I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
So why don't you even a lie?

Speaker 11 (23:51):
Like?

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I know they say white lie, but is it even
is that even a lie if you tell your kids
that certain things are real when they or not, when
you're just trying to get them to be excited about
you know, I don't know, holidays and that kind of
thing doesn't hurt anybody.

Speaker 13 (24:03):
No, And it's like given that magic, you know, like
that holiday magic for kids, because once you grow up, buddy,
it's over.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Yeah it's not.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
It's not magical.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
This is anything but magical.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
It's always a miserable kid that ruins it for the
happy kid.

Speaker 12 (24:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Oh, I remember the kid that went around running around
telling everybody about this, and that I remember, and I'm
being careful because about.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
This and that.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I mean, yeah, just like just like Canlin's being careful
with the words she's using this early in the entertainment report,
I'm being early about the things that I've ruined for anybody.
These are the are lies that if you believed, if
your parents told you them, and you believe them, then
your parents did a good job. You're the smartest kid
in school. My parents never told me that, and they

(24:44):
never that would have been a lie, So that's nice.
They didn't tell me that if you work hard, all
of your dreams will come true.

Speaker 14 (24:50):
That's the one I'm like, mom My dreams, Like, I
get it. I get it you should work hard and
like do your best, But I don't think it always
pays off in that way, you know what I means?
That makes sense because like be life, and that's not
like anyone's fault, it's just how life works.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
I would argue that you have no shot at anything
if you don't you know, have a dream and then
work really hard to trying to inspire the dream. So
it's possible that it won't come true. But I mean,
I guess as a parent. That's why would tell my
kid too, because if I'm like, nah, it ain't happening, well,
then you know, then what's the point of even attempting it?
So yeah, I guess I don't have I mean, what

(25:31):
do you what are you supposed to say? I guess
there's a I mean, no, you're not going to go
to the NBA. I remember I thought I was going
to the NBA when I was in like middle school,
even though I was absolutely completely and totally uncoordinated in
average like two points a game in my basketball games.
But I remember I'm like, I'm going, I'm going to
the NBA, and my parents had to be like, you
were absolutely not going to the NBA, So like do

(25:52):
your homework because you're not getting bailed out. So I
guess there's a there's realism. But then like not crushing
a kid's dream, Yes, right, so there's more here. You know,
your art is good. You know you're good at singing
at the recitals when you really weren't. Oh good, Now,
how do you do that as a parent, do you think?

Speaker 12 (26:12):
Now?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I mean, the only one who's a parent is Paulina
and Gigi's just not one. But how do you do that,
Like if your kid is terrible at something like really
bad and really there's not a whole lot of hope
and I don't know how you know that. Like, if
your kid's a bad singer at like ten but wants
to be a professional singer, can you tell your kid like, eh,
maybe we should try something else. Or do you let
them do it and keep telling them that they're good

(26:35):
at it even when they're not, because they might get
good at it, or do you like steer them towards
something else, Like if they're terrible with soccer but they
think they're going to be the next David Beckham or whatever,
then do you say, like, yeah, at what point do
you tell them like I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, I'm all for like re routing.

Speaker 13 (26:54):
Obviously Ggi's only one, but I think about this all
the time because I'm like, well, if she sucks at this,
like I don't want encourage her, and I'm all for
like a Delulu mindset because sometimes I feel like that
works out for people. But I also don't want her
to like walk around thinking she's that girl and she's not, you.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
No, like in the sense of like, oh I can sing.

Speaker 13 (27:12):
Listen to me sing, guys, and everybody makes fun of her,
Like then I'm being a bad parent, right, Like I'm
not doing her any good with that, in my opinion,
So I feel like re routing maybe, like lean into
her strengths, whatever those are gonna be. But my kid
of kind has an attitude already. She's only one, so
she might fight me. Imagine that I birth myself.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
I birth myself, Yeah, my sister instead to a lot
of people, and I'm I'm I'm sorry, Hovey. I love
you deeply, Paulina, but two of you. Oh, same with
my brother in law. I love my sister, but three
of them, Oh my god. I can only hope that
Maye is like a complete and total opposite, like a pothead.

(27:51):
And uh, you know, I don't know only ye honestly,
because Paulie is going to be a print a man
is kind of a princess. I think, you know, Colla
needs the other end of the spectrum, like some going
to listen to death metal with and smoke a joint
as early as possible. I don't know if that's a
nice thing to say. Hey, Jessica, good morning, Jessica.

Speaker 15 (28:14):
How are you him good morning night.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Okay, So let's get to the real eye. Like, okay,
so your parents told you, oh, you're gonna be great
in life, and you believed it. Well, that's a good thing.
If you're a parent, you can convince your kids of
that now. But there were a whole series of lies
that we were told growing up that were simply a
matter of convenience. For example, Jessica.

Speaker 16 (28:34):
My parents told me that if we turned on the
lights in.

Speaker 17 (28:37):
The backseat of the car that we would go to jail.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
The immediate SA, yes, yes, with the same thing. Now,
we weren't toild we're gonna go to jail, Jessica. But
we were told that it was against the law. I
guess something about it. I don't know why. Like, and
if you turn the dome lights on in the car
while you were driving at night, that that was against
the law. I honestly believe you weren't allowed to do
that until not that long ago.

Speaker 18 (29:00):
Made me wonder why they existed.

Speaker 11 (29:01):
If it's against the law, why do they exist?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, I agree, I agree. Now, if you ever tried
to drive with the dome lights on at night, it
does change the visibility a little bit. But like it's
not against the law, but I think it was mainly
because as a kid, when you figured out that light
was there, you were just turning it on and off,
and it was probably really annoying. So that was the
reason why. But it turns out, Jessica, you won't go
to jail for that.

Speaker 18 (29:24):
Yeah, well now I know. Now I have my own
kids that had me to jail.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Do you tell that you tell them the same thing?
I assume yep. So yeah, Jessica, thank you, thanks for listening.
Have a great day. You're too glad you call uh
heinikoll good.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Morning, Hi, good morning, good How are you guys?

Speaker 16 (29:45):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Is this your parents lied to you about this?

Speaker 5 (29:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 19 (29:49):
So my parents lied to me for years to tell
me that I was allergic to dogs and cats because
they did not want the responsibility of taking care of them.
And as I got older in grammar school and was
around like friends' houses and animals, and I was like,
something seems a little suspicious. And then I got a
dog in my twenties and found out I wasn't allergic, so.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Damn I had to call them out.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Yeah, they told you had a health condition.

Speaker 19 (30:19):
Yeah, I guess now I have a dog who's thirteen,
and my mom's obsessed with him. So it's kind of
it's kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Take the dog over there, just rub it all over
your face and be like, hey, look see everything.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Oh yeah, I still call her out all the time.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Thank you to Cole. Have a good day you too.
I remember a lot of years ago I had a
friend speaking of the pet thing and the lies you
tell your kids. They got like a fish at a
pet store or whatever, or I don't even think it
was a fancy fish. It was just a fish. Maybe
it was a carnival or something. I don't know. It
was a little tank, and I don't think there was
a lot of investment made in preserving the fish, Like

(30:56):
I don't think they went and got the proper tank
and the aerration, and I think it was kind of
just like, okay, look it was in a bowl. It
died and the kid, and their kid was young, and
so they went to the store and they got another
fish that looked just like it and dump that in
there because they just weren't they weren't in the mood,
nor were they ready to have to explain to their
child what happened and that you know, fish go to heaven.

(31:18):
Sometimes they just weren't in the mood to have to
do this, so they just kept replacing the fish until
finally the kid was no longer interested in the fish,
and then the fish just kind of, I don't know,
was given away or something, but I remember I was like, no,
you can't use this as a teachable moment like it
you know we're gonna lie. I mean, how long are
we going to keep this? Does not fish alive, not
the same fish alive before we actually made like seventeen

(31:40):
eighteen twenty, I mean, how long you had to be
before we actually explained like, yeah, fish don't live forever,
and it's sad, but you know, this is life and
this is what happens. I don't know, when do you
teach a kid about that.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
I would just replace that fish because it was kind
of traumatizing once you figured out what happens after the
fish died. I will never forget that, watching spin spin.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
In the toilet.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Yeah, I never had to do the disposal of the
dead animals. That was my dad's job. Poor guy that
is that that that continues to be his job. He
has to do all the all the hard stuff in
the family. I'm not doing it. I refuse. Hey, Samantha, Hi,
this is a good one. So this is uh, you
lie to your kid about this?

Speaker 15 (32:24):
Yeah, so I lie to her saying that Chuck E
Cheese has to invite us. We can't just go whenever
we want to.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
I've heard that. No, I've heard that. I've heard that.
Don't think you can just pull up on a Chuck
E Cheese and walk in. Absolutely not. That's not how
it works. You got to know somebody. You got to
talk to mister cheese man, and he's got to be like,
all right, Samantha's kids can come this week, but not
all the time.

Speaker 7 (32:47):
Yep, I tell her.

Speaker 12 (32:48):
Oh, he called me.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
He said we can come this weekend. He's amazing. That
is a that's a really good one. Thank you, Samantha.
Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Thank you too.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
I love this.

Speaker 14 (33:00):
Ya.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
He said we can go this week, but you better
be a good girl because you know you want to
get in by IRAQ. Right, he gets to decide. Hey, Shannon,
good morning, good morning.

Speaker 12 (33:11):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Okay, so this is a lie. That is it what
you were told or what you tell your kids that
I was told.

Speaker 17 (33:19):
My whole life by my parents and my grandpa. So
my grandpa came here from Croatia when he was twenty
years old. And every time when you're learning, like when
you're in second grade learning about immigrants and you know, Elis,
I would everyone would tell me and my family, oh,
Papa swam here from.

Speaker 11 (33:34):
Croatia, that's how he got here.

Speaker 17 (33:36):
So why would I ever think that my strong Croatian
grandfather would ever lie to me. So it wasn't until
I was twenty years old that I was swimming in
the Adriatic Seat with my cousins and I thought, hmmm,
I don't think Papa actually swam and no one knew
that I was still believing. Yeah, no one, No one

(33:57):
knew I was still believing this tale.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah wow, yeah I know. He Yeah, he in fact
did not swim from Croatia, but that would have been
quite a few exactly.

Speaker 17 (34:07):
He still calls himself the Adriatic Seat champ.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
So there you go. Let him have it. Have a
good good morning, Yeah, you too, appreciate you. Hey's Steve, Well,
good morning Steve. You a lot of your kids about this?
What is it?

Speaker 20 (34:25):
Well, we used to tell him that if they told
us a lot a dot would trap on their tongues.

Speaker 16 (34:29):
But only adults could see it. Well, they couldn't lie
to each other, but that way we could touch them
and they are.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
I see, yeah, our eyes in the back of the head.
I'm trying to think of some of the other ones
that had to do with lies. Yeah, right, but your
parents had lie to detector ability. Yeah. Well, do you
think they still lie to you or no? Oh yeah,
definitely they didn't believe you. Thank you, Steve. Have a
good day. Okay, wait a minute, Nicole, Hey, Nikole, good morning.

Speaker 7 (34:58):
Hello, good morning.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
What did your.

Speaker 9 (35:01):
Parents tell you?

Speaker 1 (35:02):
This is a lie? Your parents told you?

Speaker 7 (35:04):
Yeah, so, like it was ever like an event going
on or anything, and the weather it was like really
bad or it was raining, like it always forecasted, like
rain on my birthdays. My dad would always say, Oh.

Speaker 11 (35:14):
They don't worry about it.

Speaker 7 (35:15):
I called the weatherman, like the weather's going to be perfect.
And I seriously thought that the weatherman could control the
weather when.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
I was younger and so sweet.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
But lo and behold, my dad just kind of looked
at the forecast and like he knew it was going to.

Speaker 9 (35:27):
Be sunny later.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, he didn't call the weathering man. He didn't call
Chuckie Cheese, didn't call anybody, did he?

Speaker 20 (35:34):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I don't think he did. On Nicole, thank you, have
a good day.

Speaker 7 (35:38):
Thank you too.

Speaker 20 (35:39):
Bye.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
Here's some of the other, like more classic ones that
I think we were probably all told at one point
or another, as kids reading in the dark will ruin
your eyes. Not true. According to eye doctors at Harvard.
It might cause a headache because it causes strain, but
I guess it does not actually damage your eyesight, which
I can tell you. I was today years old when
I learned that, because I read in dim light all
the time, and I'm can advanced that that's why my

(36:00):
eyesight's going if it is, and I just now learned
that's not true.

Speaker 9 (36:05):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Knuckle cracking leads to arthritis, it does not. Apparently. Swallowing
gum takes seven years to digest, Apparently it does not.
In fact, your parents didn't want you to chew that
chocolate milk come or just swallow it. Rather, chocolate milk
comes from brown cows. Never believe that cross eyes crossed

(36:28):
eyes will get stuck that way. They won't. In case
you're wondering, swim too soon after eating, and you'll cramp
up and drown. By the drowned part, no one ever.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Told me that.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
They did say you have to wait ninety minutes after
chowing down or something might happen. But according to the
American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Red Cross, that
is not true. If you finish swallowing at least before
jumping in, then you'll be okay. The hour weight was
just made up completely. Watermelons will grow in your stomach
if you swallow the seeds not true. Sitting too close

(37:02):
to the TV will cause eye damage not true. Apparently,
touch a toad you'll get warts. Not true. I'm trying
to think of some I'm skipping over some of these.
I don't. It's too early for this. Keep your eyes
open when sneezing, and they'll fall out.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
It's terrifying.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
What parent was teaching their kid that? That is terrifying? Oh,
the family pen's living happily on a farm up stair? Yea, yeah,
that one goes back to the uh. Sometimes it's just easier.
I guess drinking coffee will sunt your growth. It won't
the toy. The candy story is closed. Eating carries will
let you see in the dark. Really. Oh and here's

(37:41):
the most classic one. And I grew up in Arizona
where everybody had a pool. If you pee in the pool,
the water will turn blue. The water will turn red.
There's some kind of a chemical in there that will
make it so people can tell if you pee in
the pool or not. That is not true, and in fact, okay,
ca u's true. Fredshell.

Speaker 16 (38:04):
Next, you've ever been left waiting by the phone?

Speaker 1 (38:10):
It's the Fred Show. Hey, Abby, good morning, Welcome to
the show. How are you?

Speaker 11 (38:13):
I'm good, guys, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Great? Welcome to waiting by the phone. So we're trying
to figure out what happened with this guy Patrick, uh,
and we got to have the backstory. So how did
you meet? Tell us about any dates you've been on
and uh and how those went, and then where things
are now?

Speaker 11 (38:28):
All right? So first I met Patrick at a Saint
Patrick's Day party, the irony there, and we just we
just talked for like hours. We both have kids, and
we bonded over that, like we're both single parents, you know,

(38:49):
just talking about like the funny stories that our that
our kids, you know, do, So we just like really
clicked right away. It was like instant connection. Then we
like the more we talk, like he was asking, like,
you know whereabouts I lived. We found out that we
lived pretty close to each other, and he asked for
my number before he left, which was like, you know,

(39:11):
I was excited because like I thought he was really
cute and we feel like I felt like there was
definitely connection there. So we had been kind of texting
back and forth after he got my number, and then
a few days later it was a really nice day
and Patrick was like, hey, you know, like I'm going
to take my son to the park, which was not
too far from my house because I said it was

(39:33):
pretty close to his, and like I said, we lived
pretty close, and he was like, hey, do you like
want to come and join. It's like I felt comfortable
because it's like a big thing, like introducing your children
to any other adult that you had, Like even if
he's like not my boyfriend, it's just a lot to
introduce to anybody coming into our lives. So I really
appreciated him saying like if I felt comfortable like bringing

(39:55):
my kids over, so I grat So I have two daughters,
and I said, sure, you know what like what why not.
You know, it's it's innocent. It's not a date. You know,
it's just kind of meeting up and kind of getting
to know us better. And you know, we had like
a real like it was a really it was really
nice to see him again. We tried a lot, the
kids had a lot of fun playing. But after that,

(40:17):
like I never heard from him again, Like it was
very weird, Like he didn't tell like I turned him
a text afterwards, they said, hey, like, you know, thanks
for inviting us. We had a great time. You know,
talk to you soon or like love to see you again,
you know, let me know. And it was just cricket.
So I just don't know, like what happened if I
said something, you know, it's just I'm just sitting here

(40:37):
trying to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah that's interesting because you guys, you did meet in
the wild per se, you met in person, so this
guy wasn't a total stranger. And you have kids and
he has kids, so you know, getting them together and
figuring out, you know, if they're going to get along
and stuff. I suppose I've seen a sense enough and
since things went well in your opinion, then it's like,
well wait, a minute. Uh, what's going on? Why wouldn't
this guy call me again?

Speaker 11 (40:59):
Yeah, it was just very strange, Like I feel like
both interactions like the first and the second, you know,
like you know, hanging out. We're fine, like total you know,
innocent but fun, and you know, there was no awkwardness
at all. So I'm just I'm kind of stumped of
what could have happened.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Okay, Well, let's call this guy Patrick, see if we
can get him on the phone. We'll ask these questions
for you. You'll be on the phone, of course, at
the same time. At some point you're welcome to the
jump in after we get you some phone. And the
hope is always is that we can figure out what
happened or what's going on. Set you guys up on
another day and we'll pay for this. All right, let's
find I was going on for too waiting by the
phone right after Lola Young back in two minutes, stay

(41:38):
around in your commercial dase the Fred Show on the
radio and the iHeart app check you in live and
then anytime get caught up and make us a preset
search for the Fred Show on demand. Hey haveby Hello,
Hi Abby, Let's call Patrick. You guys met at the
Saint Patrick's party. You talked for a long time. You
thought it went really well. You bonded over the fact
that you both are single parents and you have kids,
and so you decided collect lee to get together at

(42:01):
a park or a playground or whatever with the kids.
And it wasn't really a date per se, but you know,
the kids got to meet each other and you guys
got to talk some morning, and you thought everything went
really well. Except you have not heard from Patrick since then,
and you want.

Speaker 11 (42:12):
To know why exactly. So I'm just kind of racking
my brain. What's happening? So I don't know, Like at
this point, I need some help. I need some intervention.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Look at mom multitasking over there. I got the kids
in the background still try to figure out. Yeah, you know,
I mean you got needs or I understand. Let's call
this guy now, Good luck, Abby.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Okay, Well, thank you for calling on behalf of a
woman who reached out to us. Her name is Abby.

of more of like a like an outing with your kids.

Speaker 8 (43:14):
Yeah, yeah, I remember Abby?

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Yeah, okay, So what happened? Because she we just talked
to her a second ago and she was talking about
how she met you at the party and you guys
bonded over being parents and and you know, she thought
everything went great. You guys apparently decided to meet up
with your kids, and she hasn't heard from you since.
So what what happened?

Speaker 7 (43:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (43:33):
Yeah, I was I was gonna take my son out
to a park and just called her up to see
if she wanted to join.

Speaker 21 (43:40):
You know, nothing serious, but yeah, we met up.

Speaker 16 (43:44):
She's she was great. You know, she's really fun to
be around.

Speaker 8 (43:48):
Honestly, her her two kids were just paris.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
Her kids. Yeah, okay, Well.

Speaker 21 (43:59):
I'm just in the.

Speaker 8 (44:02):
In the way that they terrorized my son and I
guess me I do want to say though, you know,
I'm I'm a dad, I'm a single dad. I understand
how kids can.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Be, but her her two kids were just next level.

Speaker 8 (44:15):
I mean they they spent most of the afternoon just
double teaming on my son, taking his toys, pushing him.
One of her daughters sneezed at one point, you know,
I said, God, bless you, and she just made a
bee line straight for me and wiped her nose and
just wiped it all over my jeans.

Speaker 16 (44:33):
You know, we kind of laughed, but I was thinking,
this is this is really.

Speaker 8 (44:36):
Out of line, and so I tried to get him
to play some games. They just didn't want to listen
to me. One of them just straight up told me
I was.

Speaker 16 (44:43):
Ugly and then just took off running.

Speaker 8 (44:45):
And okay, I mean that that hurts the ego a
little bit, and I'm like, all right, whatever. But you
know the worst part of it, they they're bitiers. Both
of her kids bite like, one of them literally bit me.
I don't know if you've ever been bit by a kid,
but that hurts.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
I'm sorry to laugh, but I mean, okay, so well, yeah, Robin,
germs on you. They're biting you, they're calling you ugly,
they're roasting you, and what is amazing during all of this? Like,
what what is she just watching this and laughing? Is
she enabling it? Is she? Is she trying to correct them?
I mean, what's happening? What is her?

Speaker 16 (45:22):
Well, no, she wasn't trying to correct them. I don't
know that she was enabling other than just not stepping in.
But it just seemed like they ran the show. I
could tell that there's probably.

Speaker 8 (45:34):
No consequences at home, you know, if they get in trouble.

Speaker 16 (45:37):
It just felt like they were in charge. So I
don't know, it was.

Speaker 21 (45:41):
It was just a lot for me for an afternoon.

Speaker 8 (45:43):
She never really told them to stop, and I didn't
really feel like it was my place.

Speaker 16 (45:48):
To do that. So I thought, I'll just remove myself
from the situation. After this afternoon, we can kind of
be done with it.

Speaker 7 (45:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
I wouldn't like that much either. But let me bring
Abby in. I forgot you mentioned that Abby is here?

Speaker 20 (45:56):
Abby?

Speaker 1 (45:57):
You didn't You didn't say so? Was that your kids
were biting this man?

Speaker 11 (46:00):
Okay, so my two year old, because like we are
working on it. I told her to apologize. Like, first
of all, terrorist is like really extreme and like I
really don't like that word, especially associated with my children.
So I really hate that, Like that's just for me,
Like if he's turned off by me, that's fine. Like

(46:22):
him using that word to describe my children, that's a
huge turn off by for him, like for me towards him,
they're not. They obviously were like a little more on
the excited side obviously to like meet new people, meet
a new kids. Like they weren't ganging up on his son.
I did try to interject, there's just so much like
it's hard to be a single parent, like you know,

(46:45):
like it's kind of hard since he like I divoted
some issues like with my act, like I don't have
much of support from my child's father, so it's me
doing it all. So it's like really hard that he's
like blasting me as a mother. It is very hurtful
because I was trying so like he's kind of going
to the stream. But I did nothing.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah, I mean my mom, my sister and I were
raised by my mom primarily and she was a single
parent for a while. And I commiserate with what you're saying.
I think though you know, your kids can act up,
but just from my perspective, if it were me and
I'm Patrick. I guess what I would have been looking
for is less about what a two year old's doing

(47:26):
and more about maybe what you're doing about it, because
he certainly couldn't discipline the kids. That would have been unexcittable.

Speaker 11 (47:33):
But that's what I'm saying. So you're listening to what
he's saying that I didn't discsten my childrend Well.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
I'm asking you if, okay, I'm not criticiaging you. I
started the something out by not criticizing you, but I'm
saying if I was.

Speaker 11 (47:45):
But I had already I had already explained that when
she did go to bite him, I put her aside
and said, you cannot be doing that and you need
to apologize.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Is that what happened? Patrick?

Speaker 16 (47:56):
Did?

Speaker 1 (47:57):
She did? She was Are you not giving her enough
credit for her trying to manage her kids?

Speaker 16 (48:01):
Well? No, no, she did. She did step in. I mean,
it's not like she didn't do anything.

Speaker 8 (48:05):
It's just that I didn't see necessarily the results coming
out of.

Speaker 21 (48:11):
Her telling her her kids what to do. I mean,
it's not like.

Speaker 16 (48:14):
They just continue doing it. They would stop, but then
it would they would amp back up.

Speaker 21 (48:18):
So and again I have percent support for her.

Speaker 8 (48:22):
For single moms, and and I do apologize for using
the word terrorists. That may have been a little harsh.
That's not necessarily what I meant. It just it was
a lot for me and my boy. We're just not
used to that kind of energy.

Speaker 16 (48:33):
So it was just a lot.

Speaker 11 (48:34):
And that's fine. But like also I feel like he's
trying to come off at like their boat says like
his son, Yes, his son has behaved, but his son
also like through stand at my daughter's a few times
they weren't biting the child like by like I said,
only my two year old bit him, and like again
I disciplined them, were working on it, like she's too

(48:58):
so like maybe she got scared, you know, like we're
trying to communicate with her. We're trying to explain that
that's not okay. Sometimes her older sister will get upset
and bite her back, but other my older daughter does
not bite other people. Like it's a it's a sibling
thing between them that like we're trying to work on.
So the fact that like it's all coming down on me,
it's just like really hard, Like I'm trying my best,

(49:20):
and I know he's trying his best, like I would
never have used that, like, you know, feeling that he
didn't disciplined his son enough or that his son was
doing things like I give everybody like I give everybody
like the greatest ault I give everybody like you know,
I feel for I feel for every single parent out
there trying the best they can.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Yeah, we all feel for you.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
We are not trying to criticize you. We are not
trying to criticize you at all. But I think we
have to respect his decision to not want to be
a part of that right now. It was a lot
for him and that right fine, you can admit that.

Speaker 11 (49:52):
Totally fine, That is totally fine. I can admit that.
The whole thing is is just like be a man
and say, you know what, I feel like this is
not working and like, you know, like it's better off
exactly we see.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Okay, but hold on, hold on, I mean just one
a second. This is not an indictment on parents as
parents as a whole. And I also understand we're talking
about your children, and so understandably you have emotion about
this and you should and that is fair. But that's
probably why he chose not to say anything and just
sort of fade away because he probably didn't want to

(50:24):
have to tell a woman who he just met, I
think your kids were unruly and then get into this
sort of conversation because I understand why you're defensive. I
totally do, but I also think you need to understand
from the other side that it's a difficult conversation to
have with someone when you're talking about their kids.

Speaker 11 (50:41):
Well, sure, but he didn't even have to bring up
the kids. He could have just said, you know what,
I'm just not feeling the vibe, like I think, you know,
I'm not really a relationship, you know what, honestly, like
just say something like don't leave somebody on red, like
just be respectful. Like I've had to end things. They're
not they're uncomfortable. They're uncomfortable when you have to tell

(51:01):
someone yeah, you know, like I'm not feeling it, or
like you could. There's a respectful way to end things
without ghosting. That's all I'm saying, Like, I just feel
like I deserved a little bit more respect than that.
After I feel like we really didn't have a connection.
But that's fine.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
That's I think I think that's fair. I think that's fair.
I think that your you know, your your emotion and
defensiveness about this is also fair. But I also think
that it's possible that when we're talking about our own
kids and our own families and our own especially when
they're our own kids, that maybe you're a little blinded
by how that experience may have been for someone else
and why that may not be for them. I also

(51:40):
understand the communication part of this. So look, no one's
coming down on you, no one's criticizing you. It's not
for him. He has that right that is dating. But Patrick,
I'll ask the question, I mean, would you like to
go out with her again? Maybe we you know, don't
bring the kids this time, and then slowly work on
that whole thing. Uh, you know another time.

Speaker 11 (51:59):
You know.

Speaker 8 (52:00):
Honestly, had we had this conversation, I may have understood
a little more. We we kind of kept it pretty surface.
But I really dig the fire that she has, that
she's representing standing up her kids. I see that she's
working on it. I'm I'm absolutely not opposed to going

(52:21):
out again.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
Oh this, I did not see this coming. So you
have no problem being a human Kleenex again.

Speaker 21 (52:29):
Well, I don't think.

Speaker 16 (52:30):
It's going to be that way.

Speaker 8 (52:31):
I think I just have a bit more of an
understanding of what she's going through, and I like her passion.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
All right. I mean, look, I'm a little surprised, but Abby,
I I understand where you're coming from. Patrick, I I
didn't expect this. But great, So it'll be an adult date.
You guys go out again. We'll pay for it and
then uh, you know, maybe we'll check in down the road.
But Abby, I appreciate your perspective, and I hope that
you can see his and maybe see where we're coming
from as observers, and and I hope you guys have

(52:59):
a great day.

Speaker 7 (53:00):
I can.

Speaker 11 (53:00):
I mean, I appreciate it, and obviously, like maybe we
do have some stuff to talk about, so I do
appreciate it. Like Patrick being honest, I can respect the
honesty here, so I can so hopefully, you know, if
it doesn't work, it doesn't work, Like Patrick, you can
be honest with me. We don't have to do this
with the radio. If it doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Yeah you did. You did kind of chew us out
a little bit. So I'm a little afraid of I'm
a little afraid of that we're talking about your kids.
I get it.

Speaker 11 (53:27):
Yeah, I've had a rough go and I do stand up.
So I mean, I really wasn't trying to bite anybody's
head off. But like when you start talking about my
kids and me as a parent, like you know, obviously,
I'm always going to defend what I believe is right.
So it wasn't anything against you guys, because we all
we all don't know each other.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
Yeah, hey, I think he's a little turned on over there.
So that's right. You guys, go up as adults. Have
a great cent. We'll pay for it and we'll check
you later, and good luck to both of you. Three
hundred bucks show boys. He's on the Fred Show.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
Singer Sean Kingston and his mom, Janice Turner were found
guilty on all five counts that they were facing in
their faederal wire fraud case.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
Jason, are you okay?

Speaker 8 (54:14):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Just sit Jason going around and spinning my chair if
you forgot.

Speaker 5 (54:21):
They were accused of defrauding businesses out of more than
one million in jewelry, luxury cars, and more.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
I just can't get over that it's a mother son duo.
The judge says that.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Sewn sit on my Bengal card for this year. Sean
Kingston and mom indicted on I guess, convicted of wire fraud.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Like it's crazy out here.

Speaker 5 (54:42):
The judge said that Shawn's mom is a flight risk,
so they can't even let her out of custody, but Sean.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Is on house arrest, so she's more wild than he is.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
There're gonna be sentenced on July eleventh and face up
to twenty years in prison on each of the five charges.
They were, of course arrested last May after their home
was rated by the fence.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
So keep it in the family, I guess.

Speaker 5 (55:03):
And while we're talking about Sean, I guess I should
also mention that he and former NFL player Antonio Brown
collaborated on a.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
New song called Elon Musk.

Speaker 5 (55:12):
For some reason, the single dropped on Friday, the same
day that Sean was also or elsewhere, I should say,
in court being found guilty, you know, for what he
was accused of with his mom.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
But they have a song about Elon Musk.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
I guess I haven't heard it yet. I'm sure it's
not clean, so I won't. I won't just go road normally,
which is just play it off of YouTube. That's what
that's my you know, normal tactic. But I think maybe
this time I'll preview it, so.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
It's probably for the best.

Speaker 9 (55:41):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (55:44):

play it later, but really quick.

That is really that's way better than I did when

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Believed in you? Yes, yes, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
From the start, I always I've been saying how much
I believe in you. I'm constantly saying I can't get
enough of how much I believe it, right, right, So
it's three fifty tomorrow and all right, all right, the
honor ble kik Ahlik is here, Judge Kiki, if you would.

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
Yes, let's get into it. The case says, Hey, Kiki,
my name is Lauren. I'm a longtime listener of the show.
My husband and I have three kids. I have one
daughter from a previous relationship, and we have two kids together.
My oldest daughter has never met her biological father, so
my husband is the only father that she knows. For
her sixteenth birthday, she thought it would be a sweet

(01:03:39):
thing to ask my husband to finally adopt her. She's
always wanted to have the same last name as my
other kids, and I always wanted it to be her decision.
So at her birthday party, she acts my husband in
front of all of our family and friends, and he
said yes. Well, a week later, my husband came back
to me and said that after thinking about it and
talking to over with his mom, he's had a change

(01:04:02):
of heart. Oh my god, he doesn't want to complicate
things by legally adopting my daughter.

Speaker 3 (01:04:09):
I'm heartbroken.

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
His excuse was that he already plays the father role
for her and it's no need to get the courts involved.
I told him, there's no way I'm telling my daughter
that you've changed your mind. He has to adopt her
or I will leave. Am I wrong forgiving him an ultimatum?

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Damn baby? What say you judge?

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
This is one that I really needed thirteen to weigh
in on because it's really been bothering me all weekend.
Because my issue really comes in is that you went
and spoke with your mother. What happened in that conversation
between him and his mother that made him change his
mind to come back and say he doesn't want to
legally adopt my kid. And I don't want to tell

(01:04:53):
her to leave her husband because it's easy to say
blow up your family when you're not the one in
the situation. Obviously, he's a good guy, a good father.
He's raised her other children and alone. You know, he's
taken the girl into be her father, but not legally.
What is stopping him? It makes me think of like,
is he worried about if they ever divorced, then maybe
he's going to be responsible for child support or something,
or you know, is there some type of legal thing

(01:05:13):
that he's scared of getting the courts involved.

Speaker 3 (01:05:15):
I just feel like there has to.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
Be more to it, and I would love to know
the conversation between him and his mother, but for him
to renegue on the original agreement and he promised this
girl this in front of the entire family. He is
so dead wrong, Like he's so wrong, And I feel
for you, Lauren Kiki.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
I lived this like this is I was adopted by
I guess quote unquote my stepfather. So is my sister. Yeah,
and I we turned eighteen, we went to court and
did it. And I cannot imagine because that was we
were never like it was ever, this is what's going
to happen, or it was always do you want this
to happen? And it was kind of I don't know it.

(01:05:57):
It was a very special thing between each of us
and this guy who raised us, and it's I just
can't imagine how I would feel if all of a
sudden he were like not, yeah, I'm not into this anymore.
Like it almost makes me wonder if there's that something
that's heartbreaking going on in the in the primary relationship,
like between he and the mom or something like maybe

(01:06:18):
I don't know, because why would he I can't imagine
that he goes to talk to his mom and mom says, yeah,
you don't want that kid it's almost like giving that no,
but it's it's well maybe, but it's almost like it's
almost like mom doesn't like the wife or girlfriend or
whatever and doesn't know if that's going to last, So
then don't adopt the guy. I don't know, because I

(01:06:38):
can't imagine that my mom would talk me out of
adopting somewhat a child that I helped raise over the child, correct,
I would think it would be something something else.

Speaker 13 (01:06:47):
Yeah, can I say an unpopular opinion? So why is
he consulting with his mother?

Speaker 7 (01:06:52):
Like?

Speaker 13 (01:06:52):
This is a grown ass man and this is his family,
his mother, his mother is his family. It's his mother.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
I'm very aware of that.

Speaker 2 (01:06:59):
But this man creates to his own family.

Speaker 13 (01:07:01):
So I'm just really confused as to why we're consulting
mom about your family dynamic and what you're going to
do in adoption. You know what I'm saying, Like to me,
I don't like that. That that's too much. This is
your family, You're a grown ass man.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
This is from the woman who calls Hobby's mom. Absolutely
was not doing what you want him to do.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
He didn't watch the dishes I call his mother. This
is true, But we when come to our family.

Speaker 13 (01:07:23):
But when it comes to our family dynamic, we're not
going to consult our mommies.

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Like that's we're not doing. No, you console his mom.
So what you're saying is his mom has influence, and
I don't think that's unfair. I don't think it's unfair
to have your mom be someone that you you can
you can talk.

Speaker 3 (01:07:38):
To her, of course, but at the end of the day,
I still feel.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
Like, this is your family. When you get married, you
create your own family.

Speaker 13 (01:07:42):
You guys know that we've been preaching this on this
radio for years, Like I'm learning not too I consult
my mom for.

Speaker 1 (01:07:47):
The littlest things.

Speaker 13 (01:07:48):
I admit it. I'll say, hey, Ma, you know I
want to do this, what should I do? I want
to get a tattoo. I'm still like, oh, should I
ask my mom? I like, yeah, I think these things.
But at the end of the day, it's like, no,
I'm a grown ass woman. I'm thirty two years old,
I have a family now, child, and I have a husband.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
This is now my family. We're making all decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
But Pete, we don't know that that she's the one
who said don't do it, or he may have gone
to her with this, with this idea anyway, and she
may have reinforced it. So no, I mean, mom shouldn't
be running the family, But I don't think that consulting
family who are important to you when it comes to
making big decisions. Isn't that what family's for to help
you sort of work through those kind of things.

Speaker 13 (01:08:24):
It sounds like you got doubts though, if you're going
to go to your mom too, I would call my mom,
or in this case, this man called his mom and say, hey,
guess what, Mom, I'm going to adopt Firth. I don't
know her name, oh that's any whatever, I'm going to
adopt her. Like this is what we're doing in Beautifulaily
birth Gay beautiful birth up.

Speaker 1 (01:08:41):
And we're going to change her. We're going to change yeah, yeah,
I got to. I mean, no, Bertha Frederick out there,
We'll changing up. So that's my bigger, my bigger issue
here is right.

Speaker 3 (01:08:52):
My goodness.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
I mean, I love the name birth It's beautiful, said
I hear. It's making a comeback.

Speaker 4 (01:08:58):
Actually enough, you know, and to play devil advocate like
it all happened at the girl's birthday party, so she
asked him in front of the family, So I'm sure
his mom was there and his family and her family
were there, So of course that opens it up for
people to have opinions. However, you're in a marriage and
you've raised this girl. I couldn't imagine telling a kid

(01:09:20):
I don't want to adopt you, like it could be
a kid I just met yesterday if they asked me
to adopt him. Yes, you know what I'm saying, Like,
how could you tell somebody living in your house that
you raised that you don't want to take on that
responsibility for them.

Speaker 1 (01:09:35):
Well, and I obviously don't know. These people can judge Kiki,
but these things, in my experience, at least in my
personal experience, they don't just happen. There's normally some discussion. Now,
she may have surprised him, my guess a viral because
these things go viral sometimes. Who knows. Maybe she just
sprung it on him, but I doubt it because yeah,

(01:09:56):
I mean, like in our family was discussed for a
very long time for it happened, and everybody was comfortable
with it. So I don't know. I mean, maybe if
she surprised him, I mean, and there are some things
we don't know. How long is the relationship. Do we
know how long they've been together.

Speaker 4 (01:10:09):
No, but she said that her daughter is sixteen and
he's the only father that she's known, So.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Okay, well then yeah, I don't know. Most in my experience,
most adults, when the child that they raise that isn't
technically their blood child, when that kid wants them to
be their legal father, that is normally the biggest honor
that you can bestow on someone. Oh, because it's a choice,
you know, it's I mean, I love my parents, and

(01:10:36):
I love my mom and my mom I got so
lucky I won the mom lottery with mom of Fred,
but not everybody did. Not everybody won the family lottery.
And so a lot of times we hear people say
that friends are the family that you choose. Well, in
this case, he's the dad that she gets to pick,
because they could go on. I mean, how many stepparents
do you know that are just kind of there, you know,

(01:10:57):
and they're nice and they're they're not bad people, but
you're not necessarily running out to go to court and
have them adopt you. So I can't imagine a world
where this guy would be shunning this child that he raised.
It's got to be something more. Yeah five, it's crazy

(01:11:17):
to me. Yvonne HWYV on the morning, Good morning, Hey
you heard this whole thing? What say you?

Speaker 21 (01:11:25):
So?

Speaker 15 (01:11:26):
I've been with my husband for fourteen years now. He
came into the picture when my daughters were seven and four,
and he I know, would adopt them in a heartbeat
if he had the chance. And so the fact that
he changed his mind, not only is that heartbreaking for
the mom because she's been a second guest, you know, like,

(01:11:48):
how does he really feel about my daughter if he's
second guessing this, but also the daughter. I couldn't imagine
having to go back and tell her like, hey, he
changed his mind. It's just really sad and coming from
like someone in a blended family. If I had any
doubts on the way my husband felt about my kids,

(01:12:08):
I'd be out, I believe ye. I mean it's just
you've raised this kid, I mean, her whole life. I
don't know why he would like have any reservations or
have changed his mind.

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
Yeah, this this doesn't sound like a snap decision. I
mean maybe I don't know. It's it's really crazy to
raise a child and then this happens, and then have
you go never mind. I don't I don't really want
that obligation anymore because you took it off already, you
already did it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
And it sounds like he still don't for the obligation.
He just doesn't want to make it legal. And to me,
there's something crazy causing that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:41):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 15 (01:12:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:12:45):
I know it's it's it's puzzling, isn't it. Thank you
so much for listening, for calling. Have a great day.

Speaker 15 (01:12:50):
Thank you, guys.

Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Yeah, I Mike, good morning, Mike. How you doing.

Speaker 20 (01:12:55):
Hey you guys, good morning, How are you doing great?

Speaker 1 (01:12:58):
Thanks for listening, Thanks for calling. So Keiky, this makes
sure I have this right. Guy and a girl been
together for a while. Dude raises his stepdaughter and we're
kind of putting this together. But if he's the only
dad she ever knew, then let's just say an extended
period of time that the stepdad's been raising this woman's daughter.
And so there was discussion about him adopting her legally,

(01:13:19):
and they said let's do it, and he said yes,
and then he went back now and has said to
the woman, to his girlfriend or wife, whatever, no, I
don't want it anymore, which is crazy to me, Mike,
what do you think?

Speaker 20 (01:13:32):
So, I'm I was kind of put in that kind
of same situation. I've been with my wife now eleven
years today, actually, so i've.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
Known congratulations fourteen, Thank you.

Speaker 20 (01:13:44):
I've been with I've known my fourteen year old she'll
be fifteen here in July, since basically she was three.
So her father now is a deceased But after we
had our second child, that we have three girls including her,
that she felt left out. So my wife, instead of

(01:14:06):
going through the adoption process, we actually petitioned the court
to her legally take my last name. My family loved her,
they thought that she you know, she's the world to
all of us. But yeah, even after was it last months,
we actually mentioned, hey, you know, we know you have

(01:14:30):
my last name. Would you like for me to adopt you?
And she's like no, I'm saying, I'm okay that you
know I have your last name. I love you, and
that doesn't change anything. She doesn't wanted to have the
same last name as her sisters and the rest of
my family because I come from a very big family.
So that was kind of the gist with.

Speaker 12 (01:14:53):
That.

Speaker 20 (01:14:53):
So I mean, yes, adoption is awesome. It's very expensive,
but we just petitioned the court. We had a should
jump through a couple of hoops for it to happen
because he is deceased. But other than that, I mean,
it was kind of easy, peasy.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Well, it's a nice Mike, it's a great story, and
and that you guys talked about it and that she's
comfortable with it or whatever. I just I can't imagine
for if you had said it offered her that, or
if she asked you and you say yeah, and then
you come back a little while later and go, Actually,
I thought about it, and I definitely don't want to
be legally attached to you in any way, even though
I've done everything else in the role of your father.

(01:15:31):
It's I don't get it.

Speaker 20 (01:15:32):
I don't get it either, don't understand. I mean there
could be I mean, there could be so other like
factors that she didn't mention. But I mean, yeah, it
is kind of, you know, crappy that he did that.
But I'm sure there's other reasons that we don't know of,

(01:15:53):
you know of why?

Speaker 1 (01:15:54):
So yeah, yeah, Mike, Mike, thanks for sharing that. By
the way, I have a great day. Thanks you too.
Have a good one. Glad, Yeah, glad you called KB?
Hi KB, how you doing.

Speaker 15 (01:16:05):
I'm wonderful.

Speaker 18 (01:16:05):
How are you guys this morning?

Speaker 1 (01:16:07):
KB? Thanks for listening, Thanks for calling. So you heard
you heard the case in Kiki's court? What say you?

Speaker 18 (01:16:13):
Oh, this is a mess.

Speaker 3 (01:16:14):
Yeah, mess.

Speaker 18 (01:16:16):
I would definitely say divorced. But here's my reason why.
So you're legally taught to me, you made that declaration,
that obligation, but you don't want to do it for
my children.

Speaker 6 (01:16:26):
And then you make it, you know, very loud at
the birthday party.

Speaker 18 (01:16:30):
Then you go back on that. No, we're not going
to create that type of heart within our children. We're
just not We're just not in Your mom needs to
go sit down and enjoy her own life because you
have your own.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
Oh I just I got to think there's something very
adult going on here because it can't be about the child.
I mean, sixteen, she's a kid like any raiser supposedly,
so it can't be about the kid.

Speaker 18 (01:16:53):
So then he makes di rectify that within himself. And
if he does have conversations with his mom, then he
needs to talk to his wife before and say, you
know what my mom said this, My mom said that
it's not a flat out no, but how let's puffed
through it. But to just say a flat out no,
that's a problem. Like the previous gentleman he said they
went through were out of the name change. I mean,

(01:17:13):
that's also an option, but to flat out no.

Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
The answer for me is not yeah, yeah, thank you kV.
Have a great date, thanks for listening. Appreciate you. Alicia, Hi, Alicia, Hi, Hey,
good morning, welcome. What do you think you're the jury here?
Teky scored.

Speaker 22 (01:17:33):
So kind of a little similar situation. My parents have
been together, which was my mom and my stepdad twenty
seven years now. Came into our life when my sister
was six and I was two. My sister asked, when
she was like thirteen fourteen, for him to adopt her.
He flat out said no.

Speaker 12 (01:17:51):
He said no, he wouldn't.

Speaker 22 (01:17:52):
Do it, even though he is our parent, He's on
all of our you know, emergency contacts, he has whatever,
he's our stepdad.

Speaker 1 (01:18:00):
What was actually words?

Speaker 22 (01:18:02):
I don't really know because I was so young and
I've never really like asked exactly. I just know my
sister still feels.

Speaker 16 (01:18:11):
Hurt by it, and actually, like.

Speaker 22 (01:18:13):
Fast forward to quarantine time, my mom finds out that
he's been messaging some lady like the love of his life.
And he also in those messages was like, I'm not
a dad to these two girls.

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
See, you can't trust a man who See he didn't know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:31):
My gut tells me there's something going on at the
relationship level, at the romantic relationship level that's making this. Now.
That said that said that, even if they were to
break up, like if my parents were to break up,
my dad's my dad, my mom's my mom, they're still
going to be in my life. They don't have to
be together. So that's weird too. But maybe he just

(01:18:51):
doesn't want to go through all this if he knows
they're going to break up.

Speaker 22 (01:18:55):
It could be, you know, maybe he's saving feelings later on.

Speaker 18 (01:18:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:18:58):
Yeah, that's crazy. See uh well see there you go.
This dude was there was There was nefarious niss going
on here.

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
It always is, it always.

Speaker 13 (01:19:08):
Is, you know, yeah, you go.

Speaker 1 (01:19:16):
I don't know if nefarious niss is a word, but
it sounds good to me. Hey Winter, Hi, welcome to
the Friend Show. How are you good morning?

Speaker 21 (01:19:24):
How are you guys?

Speaker 1 (01:19:25):
Winter? So Kiki's court, I'm just trying to make this
as simple as possible, But it's it's it's the woman
writing in right. Yes, so she is? And is she
married to this guy or they just together?

Speaker 4 (01:19:36):
No, she's married to him and they shared two other
kids biologically together. But she had a daughter from a
previous relationship, and this man has been in her daughter's
life forever.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
She's the only he's the only dad that she knows.

Speaker 4 (01:19:47):
And the girl asked him to adopt her, and he agreed,
but then later a week later, came back and renigged
on it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:53):
Yeah, what do you think? Winter?

Speaker 6 (01:19:56):
So I was in a really very similar situation. I
was raised when my stepdad. My parents got married when
I was two or three, so my stepdad is my dad.
When I was sixteen, I asked my dad to adopt me,
And now at twenty eight, I have taken that back
where now I do have a relationship with my dad
full into adulthood. But I was the same way and

(01:20:18):
I was like, no, I won't really want my stepdad
to adopt me. But coming into adulthood, I'm like, I
really wish I would have regretted my stepdad adopting me,
because there's still an opportunity for her to have that
relationship with her dad that might be where he is
coming from, where the mom is coming from, Like hold on,
because if the dad really wants to reach out in adulthood,

(01:20:40):
he doesn't have any right. Again, he shouldn't have a
right because he wasn't there her entire life. So I
see that part. But there is more sides to the
story because she is just a teenager. She wants these
decisions like yes, having that parental figure in your life,
your entire life, and being like.

Speaker 11 (01:20:56):
No, that is my dad.

Speaker 6 (01:20:57):
That's how I feel about my stepdad. But I would
have regretted it at sixteen had I asked him to
adopt me and not been able to have that relationship
with my biological father.

Speaker 20 (01:21:07):
So there's there's a little bit.

Speaker 7 (01:21:08):
More to it.

Speaker 6 (01:21:09):
But I see everybody's point where like if the step
dad came back to me was like, no, I don't
want to adopt you. I get that point.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
Too, man. I mean the kind I mean, the abandonment
ceiling that you I mean, that's the kind of stuff
that lives with you. It would stay with you your
whole life. Like this guy that raised me doesn't want me,
and I just can't imagine a world where it's about
the kid. But you know, we don't know everything. But wow, Winter,
thank you so much for calling. You have a good day.

Speaker 6 (01:21:36):
Thank you guys. Love you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:21:38):
Yeah, I love you. So you just can't you can't
play with this stuff.

Speaker 13 (01:21:40):
Yeah, I was gonna just say when we turn eighteen though,
you're technically an adult, right, so like you can do
and whatever as you please. So like, if you're by
allowed to a dad does come around and knocks on
your door, you're legally able to talk to him and
have a relationship with him right after eighteen or am
I making this?

Speaker 1 (01:21:54):
Yeah? I mean it's a legal thing. And if he's
raised her and the other guy hasn't been around, then
I don't know why anybody would be surprised that's the
way this went. But they wouldn't preclude you from having
a relationship with your birth father. I mean I could
still do that if I chose to, you know, and
again I didn't. I didn't. Well they didn't get adopted.
Uh yeah, because he went for cigarettes. Both of our

(01:22:16):
dads went for cigarettes. Ever came back. But I I'm yeah,
I mean, if my birth father wanted to have a
relationship with me or whatever. Then that that's very that's
still possible. And the fact of the matter is my
dad who adopted me, the guy who raised me. I
mean that's it was that was appropriate for our relationship
because well he was he's been the guy exactly. So

(01:22:39):
that doesn't mean you can't have a relationship with your
birth father. He's not even around. So what indicasion do
we have that's gonna happen? I don't know. I don't know,
all right, well, Ki Ki, yeah, man, I think we're
headed to divorce courts. I think we are.

Speaker 3 (01:22:57):
Lauren, sorry girl, Yeah, yeah, I know it is.

Speaker 1 (01:23:01):
The Entertainer Report will do it in two minutes after
ventro Gold Movies Cawin's Entertainer Report, he is on the fread.

Speaker 2 (01:23:06):
Show Ms Chapel.

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
Roone's comments about parenthood have sparked some sort of debate online,
with some moms taking it as an attack on motherhood.
Chapel was on the most recent episode of Call Her
Daddy and talked about whole bunch of stuff, including the
prospect of marriage and children. She told Alex, all of
my friends who have kids are in hell. I don't
know anyone who's happy and has children at this age.

(01:23:29):
The twenty seven year old singer from Missouri was referencing
exhausted friends with children under five, saying that she hasn't
met any parent who is happy, well.

Speaker 2 (01:23:38):
Rested, or who has light in their eyes.

Speaker 5 (01:23:41):
The comments divided people on social Some agree, some see
it as a dismiss a view of motherhood. There's now
a trend of moms on TikTok also dancing to her
music to show that they are fun and have light
in their eyes.

Speaker 3 (01:23:54):
Light and show.

Speaker 2 (01:23:55):
I don't know, I think you would.

Speaker 1 (01:23:57):
I'm starting to interrupt you, k But I now have a
lot of peers who are parents, and most of them,
in like honest conversation, will tell you I love my kids.
I don't necessarily love this life, this lifestyle, I should say,
especially when they're young. Most people I know, Yeah, I.

Speaker 5 (01:24:16):
Mean, if that's her observation, and that's her observation, we
can't try to control what somebody else feels they observe.

Speaker 13 (01:24:22):
That's what I said. I was like, listen, I'm in hell.
Someome names, okay, and it's some of it's.

Speaker 2 (01:24:26):
My kids, some of it's not.

Speaker 13 (01:24:28):
But at the end of the day, it's like it's hard,
like parenting is hard period. Like, yes, there are days
that are so difficult that I don't have.

Speaker 2 (01:24:33):
Light in my eyes.

Speaker 13 (01:24:34):
But I think, to be honest, that's just life period, right,
different stages. Like you said, Fred, the kids are young.
When they get older, yeah, it gets a little easier.

Speaker 2 (01:24:41):
But this is Chapel Roone's opinion.

Speaker 13 (01:24:44):
Let me just be everybody wants to paint her out
to be like this means scary lesbian lady like she is.

Speaker 5 (01:24:49):
She's a nice lesbian lady.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
Okay, she's a lesbian lady with right right, right.

Speaker 2 (01:24:58):
You know she's got a tinge of something going on.

Speaker 5 (01:25:00):
But hey, don't be all by the way, have you
