Speaker 1 (02:35):
That's it, that's the tweet.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
So they announced that she's going on the podcast. Is
what happened last night? But we knew that because we
saw the silhouette and then there's an album coming.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's what we learned. Yes, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I woke up this morning and it was like, I
thought we knew a lot of well we were guessing.
I guess we didn't know a lot of this. We
were guessing a.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Lot of those. Yeah, okay, I'm learning yeah this morning, and.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Then I saw this morning that radio shows were posting
about it, and it's like, well, they happened yesterday. Oh yeah, yeah,
I mean I don't know that's still one could have
been I don't know. It could have been Rosie o'donald.
I wasn't sure. I thought maybe they're having Rosie o'donald
on the show anyway, So let's do Moraley Monday on
a Tuesday, shall we. A husband is uncomfortable with his

(03:17):
wife's sister seemingly having a front row seat to every
flaw that he has in his marriage. So a thirty
eight year old man went to Reddit and this was
then published by People magazine. So People Magazine is now,
next time you get mad at me for pulling stuff
off of Reddit and saying that I pulled it off
of Reddit, why don't you call the people at People magazine?
Call the people at People okay, and ask him. But

(03:38):
that's what they're up to now. But apparently this guy's
upset because his thirty five year old spouse has been
sharing every argument that they have, big or small with
their sibling whenever he's not around to defend himself. We're
not constantly fighting or anything, but like an a couple,
we have our moments, stuff like me forgetting to take
out the trash, getting the wrong cereal or or whatever,

(04:01):
spacing out during conversation when she's talking. Her sister used
to be super warm with me, but lately she's been cold,
even passive aggressive. And it didn't click until I realized
that she's been getting a running commentary of our.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Marriage from my wife's side only.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
So he asked if she could keep his private life
their private life between the two of them.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I wasn't yelling or accusing.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I was just trying to express how it feels to
be seen as the bad guy over minor stuff that
gets retold out of context. She said that I was
trying to isolate her and being controlling. So the question
is how much can you share about your relationship with
other people outside of your relationship, because I feel like,

(04:43):
no matter what you do, you're going to share your perspective.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know, it's very rare.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
It's very rare that any of my friends call me
to tell me something that's happening in their relationship and
they start with, well, here's what I did wrong, And
to be honest, you know, it'll be like, oh my god,
this is what happened, and it's from there, right and so.
And that's that's the perspective that I always hear because
I'm usually closer with one than the other. I've been
in situation where I get to hear both perspectives because
I'm close with both of them. But the truth is,

(05:10):
you're going to tell things from your perspective. You're going
to tell things with your viewpoint and your emotion, and
then you may resolve those things quickly, potentially, and then
the person who you told will never not have that perspective.
They'll never not know those things right. That's right, And
it's probably going to change the way that they look
at the other person, at least temporarily. So is it fair?

(05:31):
Eight five, five, five, nine, one one oh three five
context the same number? I'm curious, and how do you
handle this? Is it fair in your relationship to be
really getting into the nitty gritty of what's happening with
other people who also know the person on the flip side?

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Who are you supposed to talk to? Like, who are
you supposed to end to? You know what I say,
say it the Lord, your mom. I might know what
you say, but I don't know everybody knows what you say.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
But because I just feel like in a relationship, you
cannot tell your friends and family everything that's happening in
your relationship every single moment because for me, like my
brothers don't tell me anything because to me, they can't
do no wrong. So and then when I know that
someone has wronged them, I never forgive the person is
I'm always thinking about that, and they know that about
their sisters, so they just spare me. Because in relationship

(06:18):
you're gonna have ups and downs. You're gonna forgive your
spouse in fifteen minutes. I'm thinking I got beef with
them forever, you know, So like you can't tell you
can't tell your sibling everything, you can't tell your your
mother everything that's happening in your relationship because they never
forget that.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, I think there's certain people that will be unforgiving
forever no matter what. Yeah, and they're always gonna take
your side m hm. And so there's almost no chance. Yeah,
but that, But again, then where are you supposed to go,
Like if you can't go to your friends, and you
can't go to your.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Family lady to relate the therapist which one.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yes, yes and no, Paully hat GPT is not, you
can't go. But it's already been determined that you shouldn't
do that because it doesn't.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
I have nowhere else left to go because I am
the girl who.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Tells my friends, right.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
But the thing is like mine is it's lighthearted, right,
And I tell Caylen all the time and she's like,
you guys roast each other. It's true, like my husband
and I do, and like that's our relationship. But if
things ever get tough tough like and sometimes they do,
I will threaten Hobby like I'm gonna tell your parents, Like.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
That's just what I do. I'm better call my mom
right now.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
And he told me share it to my face, like
if you get our families involved, like this isn't going
to be good. Like that's not a threat, it's just
like warning me, Like that's not a good idea because
with me, I'm a child to get to like tell
me thinks step by step here, and that's what he's
trying to do. And I have taken the phone, you know,
and gently placed it down because I'm like, I don't
want to make a mistake. But there's moments where I'm like, well,

(07:44):
I need to turn to somebody.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
I want to go somewhere I don't His mom is
probably not that no, No, I mean that's strategic.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
It is you're going to her because that will sting
him because he loves her and respects her opinion. And
it essentially like a child telling on telling on someone.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I turned into a snitch.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
I know.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I haven't done that in a very long time, a
very long time, but I do one of my best friend.
But then I've noticed this is this is the tricky part.
And he does this often. He'll turn things and kind
of be like in the future, he'll be like, oh yeah,
but you know, it's probably still doing those a whole
and it's like that, like why are you turning that
against me?

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Or like why are you using that? Is that supposed
to be like funny? You know what I mean? I
don't know. I don't know. I don't like that. So
I don't like one of my friends no more. Kelly says,
So she shouldn't be sharing with anybody. Kelly, Yes, yes,
you know, Hi, you're Kelly. You shouldn't be sharing with anyone.

Speaker 7 (08:40):
You're saying, yes, I believe so from my experience, maybe
accept a therapist. It just it's to me, it's like
scapegoing and talking about the other person. I can get
around to the other person and it just hurts people.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I think parents should be excluded. I mean best friends,
best friends. I feel like you should be able touch
to your best friends, and they should be able to
moderate between you know, what you're telling me and then
how they act around the other person.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I guess I really don't know where you're Where are.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
You supposed to go a therapist only, Kelly, I gotta
go find a therapist now.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
I actually I can change my mind.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Now.

Speaker 7 (09:19):
I do change my mind. I do agree. I do
from my own personal experience. I do have a best
friend to talk to, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
I don't talk to many people. Okay, so don't be
talking unless it's the best friend, Kelly says.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Therapist. That's okay, Kelly, Kelly, you're allowed. You're allowed to
be moved by something with the show. Thank you, Kelly,
have a good day, Kelly is right?

Speaker 1 (09:43):
You call okay? Sure? I love you, Kelly. I love you, Kelly.
But when you call, you gotta talk.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
Okay, when you call this show, we gotta it's a dialogue,
you know what I'm saying, Like, we gotta, we gotta
go back. And I love that it's early. It's early, Okay,
you know it's it's a fluid argument. Hey Vanessa, good morning.

Speaker 8 (10:03):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I Vanessa, So the sister is the problem. You're saying yes,
because you.

Speaker 9 (10:09):
Have to be able to talk to your family and
especially with your sister if you're really close like me,
I'm really close with my sister, So if she can't
tell me stuff about her marriage, you have to be
able to differentiate and understand that your sister can also
be the problem. You know, like it's not necessarily him
the bad guy, but she should be able to vent
and that the sister can't distinguish between you know, her relationship,

(10:35):
you know, it not always being about him being in
the rooms, then that's on her.

Speaker 10 (10:40):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
So when someone tells you something about like like a
family member or a close friend about their significant other,
are you able to differentiate? Can you really just say, like,
when you see him the next time, you forgot about
that awful thing that he supposedly did.

Speaker 11 (10:55):
You don't necessarily forget.

Speaker 8 (10:56):
I mean from what it sounds like though he hasn't
really done anything care of old I mean it's just
venting like any other you know marriage, you know, small
little issue. So I mean my brother in law, she
does crap like that all the time. But it's not
like I hate him for it or I'm going to
give him a could shoulder for it.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
You know, right? Right? Makes sense? Thank you have a
good day. You glad you called? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I mean I've been in relationships before where people they
go to their friends and then hang out with the
friends and it's like they only but you only heard
what that You only heard what she said, right, you know,
and there's probably another side to it, or or where
you get into it with somebody and then you know
another that their their tribe takes it out on you
and it's like, but but I got into it with

(11:40):
that person and that you know that person has a
role in this too, So why why am I being
punished by everybody? I mean I get that there's loyalty,
but I mean, are you if you're not able to
discern that the person who you care about could have
also screwed up, then maybe you shouldn't have an opinion,
you know what I mean? Like, if if every thing
is always somebody else's fault, then that's that you're enabling

(12:03):
the behavior and then that's not good for that person.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
But maybe you don't care. Hey, Laura, how you doing, Hey,
how are you for?

Speaker 7 (12:10):
Good morning?

Speaker 12 (12:11):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
So this this guy's upset because his wife is going
to his sister about every argument they have in their relationship,
and he feels like, now it's making that awkward because
she's getting a front receipt from her perspective about the relationship.
But he's asking her to stop going to his sister
about everything because he wants, you know, I guess he
wants to be respected in the family, and she's saying

(12:31):
that's controlling.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
What do you think.

Speaker 13 (12:34):
I think there's got to be a fine line, because
there's that boundary level, like you guys were talking about.
I feel like I know in my own marriage, there's
things I go to my friends about, things I go
to my fail me about. But then there's also something
I think you just kind of save for, like a therapist,
because it's more of a neutral party.

Speaker 6 (12:49):
And then you.

Speaker 13 (12:50):
Don't want those people close to you to kind of
have a preconceived notion like well, why are you still
in that relationship if it's so negative or if this
is going on. I think there's certain things you kind
of have to keep private and remain sacred because I
don't want my friends and fail me to have a
preconceived notion like oh my gosh, this is detrimental to
your relationship, or why are you still with this person

(13:11):
it's so terrible, or you're dealing with these things. So
I think there has to be like kind of a
neutral party too that you refer to if you need.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
To have vent Yes, because yeah, also, you know, to
your point, if you're talking to your friends about how
terrible the person is who you're with, and then you
decide to forgive them, or maybe you overplayed it, or
maybe you were just venting and you were telling, you know,
a more dramatic version of the story. Now you've got
it backtracked, because now people are gonna start to think
something about you because it's like, well, oh, you.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Took that person back. I thought they were the worst
person ever. Well it wasn't that bad. It was a
wait a minute, what story was it? Exactly?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
What did was it with the two strippers or no strippers?

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Like? What happened? Thank you, Laura, I have a good day.

Speaker 10 (13:49):
You're welcome to have a great day.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
What happened to the strippers? I don't know. I guess
I got the story wrong. It wasn't strippers. It turned
out it was just that the doctor was a nurse.
It was a real nurse. It was dressed like a nurse.
But the biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yeah, I think this would be this way in my
family too. Someone texted seven o eight. My family just
assumes I'm the problem. Yeah, so that's what it would
be most of the time in my family, I think,
especially if they really like the person, like God forbid
the day. Honestly, you would think I would be dreaming
for the day that I meet someone that my family
just adores. God forbid the day, because then I'm done,

(14:22):
Like I'm cooked, it's over. I'll never win an argument,
I'll never be right about anything, And if I screw
it up, it'll be that I screwed.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
That'll be the narrative.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
It couldn't possibly be about the strippers again, the same strippers, mom,
It was the same strippers it except.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
With her this time. It will never, ever, ever not
be my fault when that happens. Yeah, I'm probably run
here too. God forbid you guys fall in love with
someone that I did. It's over. It's over. I'm done.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Nah, that's all I need is one, two, three, well, Jason, four,
my sister and my mom five, six women ganging up
on me. That's all I need. I've already got, I've
already got well, I've already got that A lot for
a lot, it would be seven with her too. Guys,
you want to know in headlines what the Farmers Almanac
says about the winter? Do we believe the Farmers Almanac?
Do we know if the Farmer's Almanac?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Can you look? Can you google?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Or ask your friend Chad gbtam how often the Farmer's
Almanac is correct? Because I feel like we do this
story every year around this time. Here's what to expect
for the winter, and then it's usually not as bad.
But the breakdown of the Farmers Almanac twenty twenty five
twenty six Winter forecast by region. The Northeast and the
Great Lakes frequent snowstorms and widespread winter whiteouts. Mid January

(15:33):
and mid February ring especially frigid day's packed with consistent snowfall. Okay,
northern plains in New England bringes for the coldest stretches
of winter. The Pacific Northwest, Idaho and Washington anticipate deep
cold and heavy mountain snowfall. There's a theme here. Mid
Atlantic and the Appalachians. Appalachian Mountains, snow will be frequent,

(15:54):
especially in the mountain zones, mixed with wet wintery patterns
ew that sounds gross. Midwest and Ohio Valley classic winter territory,
expect abundant snow across the Ohio Valley.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Okay, so a lot of snow.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Southeast and south central including Texas wetter than normal conditions
with multiple cold rain events and occasional freezing precipitation, and
the Southwest a wet winter lies ahead. So if it
doesn't snow where you are, it'll be rainy. And if
it snows, it's going to snow a lot. According to this,
it's it's winter and it's gonna snow.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
It's all here. It's given eighty percent accurate. That's pretty
good eighty.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
But I feel like every single year it's no worst
winter evers coming, and then.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
It is, you guys, snow's coming. Yeah, I said, tell
me something new.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Okay is not here for this? You just body the farmers.
What is the farm farmers?

Speaker 14 (16:45):
I love our farmers. I want to be a farmer.
But if you were to say how is the winter
going to be able to said snow.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
And I wrote all of what you just extraordinarily bad.
We've had a few, like in Chicago, we've had a
few random days. But I remember I first moved here,
what fifteen years and fourteen years ago I moved here
and within like two weeks we had the biggest snow
freezing event that had happened in like hundred years or something.
It was like you just right, The snow was just

(17:13):
like the waves were frozen on, you know, the lakes
off the lake.

Speaker 2 (17:18):
And I remember thinking, what have I done. I've been
here for ten days, like this is what this is
what I'm up against. And that was that was probably
the worst day in the last decade. I had a
couple others since then, but every year it's gonna be
the worst ever.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't know if I believe it.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I got two extremely surprising stories for you in one
really you might be shocked by both. But AOL still
has dial up internet. You can still use dial up
internet from America Online AOL. The second part of the
story that will shock you is that it's going away
for good.

Speaker 3 (17:48):
Oh my goodness, you can still do it.

Speaker 14 (17:53):
We need that here it might be more dependable. Right now,
I mean you should go.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
If you go to my grand freend on here, go
to my instant story, you'll see what my day is
so far today it's an envelope going in and out,
in and out, in and out, in and out, up, down, up, down,
in and out, and not in the kind of fun way.
The company, which is now part of Yahoo, quietly announced
the move on its website, and AOL says that they
routinely evaluate its products and services and has decided to
discontinue dial up internet. The move is effective on September thirtieth.

(18:23):
What are we going?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
How are we going to connect to the satellites? Now?
I have no idea. Somebody get Greg.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
On the phone. We're gonna have to come up with
something else. Maybe we go back to like tinfoil or something.
I'm not sure. Here's another tech story. I'm going to
tech you mood today in headlights. Plus, I don't want
to talk about Taylor Swift because Canon's going to do that.
I don't want to talk about Geelan Maxwell because well,
and I don't want to, and so I want to
talk about politics. So there South Korea Starbucks locations are

(18:53):
banning cafe squatter practices, So I guess cafe squatters, you know,
people who go and sit at Starbucks all day in
work as if it's their like shared office space. It's
such a big problem in South Korea that they're banning
customers from and I'm being serious, setting up desktop computers,
printers and multi outlet power strips at their stores.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
So people are.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Going into Starbucks with a tower and a monitor and
a printer and up the shop and.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
A power strip.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I mean, I guess it's bad enough if you sit
there all day and you mooch off the internet and
you don't buy anything, But if I wheel in there
with a whole you know, I mean we might need
to do the show from there. Yeah, maybe illow to
bring our equipment. I can't bring my tower computer with me.
The squads also can't set up partitions or leave their

(19:48):
stuff unattended for long periods of time, so we're making
little cubicles in there too. There are many complaints about
the people taking up space there, and the company has
taken action. Laptops will still be allowed, but you cannot
stay old day. A twenty seven year old woman named
Wicka has announced her engagement to her AI chatbot fiance Casper,

(20:09):
after five months of virtual dating. She shared the news
on a Reddit with the post titled I Said Yes
and a photo of a blue heart shaped engagement ring.
The proposal was set in a picturesque mountain scene. Virtually,
of course, I mean she was alone because well, say I.
Wicka insists that she's fully aware of what she's doing,
knowing exactly what AI is and what a parasocial relationship entails,

(20:34):
and says that she's mentally healthy, socially active, and comfortable
with her choice.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Her bold move has sparked a.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Heated conversation online about the evolving boundaries of love and
connection in the age of AI. Now, Paulina, you you
rely on AI for a lot of things, captions for
the show, marital advice, all of it. Can you see
a world where that would be fulfilling enough for you,
like where you could just inter you just interact with AI.
You're just getting you just getting what you back what

(21:00):
you give it.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
No, I need a human connection. I think we all
do as people. I just think that I become more
powerful because of chat, GPT and AI. Why because I'm
able to come up with new ideas that I might
have never thought of.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Like it gives you ideas, it gives you the last.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
Big idea the chat gptio. I'd love to know what
is the last big idea the chat gpt contributed to
your life.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
I mean, it's like she saves me time.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
Like I wrote a caption yesterday ry Ill shouting somebody
out on my Instagram and I was like, hey, this
is who this person is based on this graphic. I
send it a graphic. Can you give me a nice
Instagram caption?

Speaker 2 (21:36):
And came back with shout out to this person? That
was amazing, that's a great caption.

Speaker 5 (21:40):
I was thank it was a wonderful caption and I
didn't have to even think you guys, And the best
part is I didn't even think of the things to
say because Chad does it for you, so I could
focus on other things.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
She's like an assistant. Okay, yeah, you gotta you gotta
really be nice to her. I don't know what's wrong
with thinking. I don't know. Who is tired? Do you
have time? I'm tired? I don't know. I don't know.
I like to still think, Yes, I don't want to.
I've thought enough.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
I mean, sometimes it would be nice to be heard
without having to, you know, the cumbersome duty of having
to listen back Like that, that would be nice sometimes,
Like can you imagine on one side, can you imagine
a relationship where all you do is like.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
Take, I would hate that I'm a giver. That would
make me more dunim jacket.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Well, I'm a giver too, but I mean in certain ways.
But I mean sometimes it can be it can be
mentally exhausting to have to take on other people's problems too,
Like I'm not here.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
I'm not here to save the world.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
I don't think I can, you know what I mean,
So I don't think everyone pouring out their stuff to me,
Like you know what I mean. If you're in a
relationship and you go home and your job is to
sort of absorb and and and you know, comfort another person,
and if someone's going through a really bad time, wouldn't
be nice to be like why don't you tell it
to Chad?

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Why don't you go talk to Chad?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Like nobody being in a relationship is it's a it's
an emotional obligation. It's and imagine if you imagine if
you could be in a relationship where you didn't have
and it's part of it and you have to do it,
and I understand that. But what I'm saying is, imagine
a world where you didn't have to do that, where
you got the fulfillment of feeling like somebody cared for
you and somebody who's listening to you, and somebody was

(23:18):
looking out for you, but you didn't have to do
it back. Now, I'm not suggesting that you should do
that in a in a real relationship, but this is
probably what that could be. Is I just I just
am heard and understood, and this person learns to understand me,
and then I don't even have to do anything.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
That's true after. That'd be great. Yeah, we're kind of
selling it rock on.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
I know, it doesn't It doesn't sound all that bad
because I know people who just take on everybody's stuff
and then it's like this big.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Burden for them. Yeah yeah, and it's like, well, well
that's you know, how about how we're gonna have to
take on the burden. Yeah, that'd be nice. Give it
a chat, yes.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
You know, and I don't know, the technology is such
that maybe the other things could be possible too.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
Oh yeah, I mean you know, like what a robot? Right?
Maybe I don't know that. That's I don't think I
could take you that far? Can I build a man?
But have you ever let me ask you?

Speaker 12 (24:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:09):
But seriously, have you ever wanted yes?

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Have you ever had a problem in your Okay, we
were just talking earlier about inventing to someone? Have you
ever wanted to vent to someone and then just hang
up the phone and then never have to address it again?

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Like will I need to get this off my chest? Hey?
How you doing?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
But here it all is and then be okay, that's it,
and then I don't I don't really feel like right
now having to do the thing where you then tell
me what's going on with you? Well, that's what chat
GPT would offer for you. It's therapy, except therapy is expensive.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
I like ask my therapist about herself, like I'm very uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Oh, I don't know. Does she answer? She that's supposed to? Yeah,
I trick her, I get her.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Oh yeah, that's it's it's like a waste because like
I shouldn't be doing that.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
No, And this is just I'd like to finish the
headlines biggest stories of the day with one of the
most romantic stories I've ever heard. A guy steals twenty
one million dollars worth of lunar rocks from NASA to
use during set after promising his girlfriend the moon. What Yeah,
he got in trouble for literally promising his girlfriend the moon.
NASA intern fad. His name is Thad Fat Roberts. He

(25:11):
related he stole twenty one million dollars in moon rocks
from the Johnson Space Center to quote give his girlfriend
the moon. Roberts and two accomplices broke into the secure vault,
took Apollo lunar samples and a Martian meteorite, and then
scattered the rocks on a hotel bed to have sex
on top of them. The group was caught. The group
was caught in an FBI state. I don't know if

(25:32):
they were all involved, but the samples, once exposed, were
ruined for research. Roberts is going to serve more than
six years in prison for this.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Apparently, what.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
Long I mean now, when she said take me to
the moon, I don't I think she was hoping for
something else. I don't think she literally wanted to have
sex on type of rocks. But no, well no, it's
National Middle Child Day. National Vinyl Record Day's Entertainer Report
is on the all.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Of it everything, give me a stitch and lies sometimes?
Why is my outlook still going in? And it's been
doing that for days?

Speaker 4 (26:09):
I told Keky like it was it's starting to mentally
like make me go insane because I feel like like
I'm doing something wrong. And I'm like Kiki and She's like,
check your cookies.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Yeah, I'm over here, like refresh to cookie every browser.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
No power down and restart. I'll love honey, You're a
large company.

Speaker 15 (26:27):
What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Baby?

Speaker 4 (26:28):
All right, let's move on to something low lighter, shall we.
Taylor Swift will be the surprise guest on the New
Heights podcast, hosted by her man Travis Kelce and his
brother Jason. They posted a teaser yesterday morning of an
outline of Taylor, which we talked about on the show,
then later a very sweet video of Travis and Taylor
before they recorded together, and then lastly at twelve twelve Eastern,

(26:49):
a teaser of Taylor announcing her album The Life of
a Showgirl her new album I should say t S
twelve with the cover being blurred out, but if you're
a swiftye The second you saw that damn orange in
the graphic they blurred out.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
You knew what was coming.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
She has been teasing this album since night one of
the Era's tour.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
It looked like to me, I thought it was gonna
be yeah with that curly long hair what I thought? Okay, yeah,
well you for life. I thought it was going to
be the New Heights podcast. Just waiting for that not
guilty verdict that.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
Day.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Don't you don't you put that on me? Don't you
put that on me? You were talking about Karen Reid.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
However, I did just talk about Diddy, So it was
it was ill timed, you know.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
But I'm a Karen Reid. I'm a bad girl for life, I.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
Say you, Karen. Oh dude, no, I know. I was
there too. We didn't go Sometimes I wish I knew
then what I know now, same same time thing. Yeah,
well yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
For this things that I want to dissect this there's
the lover House and there's blocks out of it, and
there has been an orange square for literally years, and
now we know it is the life of a show Girl.
We don't have a release date, but my little gut
is telling me that the clock on her website ending
at twelve twelve, aka the day before her birthday on
the thirteenth.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Is a clue, okay, on yes, ma'am. Oh, you guys
don't have the way all lot.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
I don't know, but there's some sort of clue there
because twelve twelve, twelve thirteen, not sure, but the New
Heights episode drops tomorrow night at six or seven, depending
on where you are. Very sweet, and boy did she
do a big one for those two. She's like, let
me give you the click and.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
The downloads and the videos. Let me just help you
out real quick, your little podcast.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Jennifer Aniston talked
about a whole bunch of stuff, but I have some
highlights for you. So first, on that love triangle between herself,
Brad Pitt, and Angelina Joe Lee in two thousand and five,
she said it with such juicy reads for people, if
they didn't have their soap operas, they had their tabloids.
It's a shame that it had to happen, but it happened,
and BOYD did I take it personally. She even said

(28:51):
that she and Gwyneth Paltrow, who if you didn't know,
dated bread pit as well say they still gossip about him.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
She said, how can we not, We're girls.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
As for her bestie Matthew, Perry said that she and
the Friends cast have been mentally mourning him for a
long time before his passing. She said his long battle
with addiction felt like a slow goodbye. She did reflect
on his death in October of twenty twenty three, saying
it was really painful, but there was solace in knowing
that he's finally free from suffering. She actually texted him

(29:18):
on the day he passed and he seemed happy, healthy
and committed to getting better, which is just heartbreaking. And
then she also talked about how Sandra Bullock talked about
with her that women in Hollywood would were discouraged from
being friends, being told no one wants the ladies to
be friends, which I think is so wild. That was
only fifteen years ago, but it was really ever present

(29:39):
at that time. You know, tabloids would pit women together
who wore it better, like a whole bunch of stuff.
And I guess behind the scenes they were also told
no one wants you guys to be.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Friends, So I thought that was pretty interesting.

Speaker 4 (29:50):
And then lastly, for some reason, Drake installed a payphone
outside of his Canada mansion.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I don't know why, but he.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
I know you could still get a payful in the
same white didn't know you could still dial up to AOL. Right,
is what I'm doing this morning, trying to get the
outlook to work.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Let me know if you can get into your email,
because just again, it's just things we need for work,
you know, like these computers, these these things.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Oh, don't worry. The one on my phone works fine,
so they can always get to me. Okay, the one
I need here at in the radio studio that doesn't work,
just don't worry about. And they can feel email me
too in the morning if they want to.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, we're just trying to do our jobs.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
By the way, if you want to elevate or make
it worse your listening experience, type freend Show radio on YouTube.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
You could see my Backstreet Boys shirt. What ha is
Kiki Gota?

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Oh her Social Battery shirt which I love, So do
that on YouTube and we will be live through the parts.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
That we can be live legally, yeah, because we don't
pay licensing for you. We can't afford it.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
Paulina Gigi, your daughter two and a half, one and
a half, one and a half.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
I can't keep all these interest right.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
I got Shelley's kids, I got your kids, I got
my nieces, I got my illegitimate kids. Oh you know,
I got Kalin's kids aka her sister just turned twenty one.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
That one. I know.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
We just talked about it. Yeah, aka her sister. But whatever,
I just I'm trying to keep it all straight. I
got my other friend talking to her yesterday. She was
offended that I couldn't remember that her kids were months
months apart from Polly and May. I'm like, I can't, guys,
I don't have a spreadsheet. Okay, I'm trying to keep
it all straight.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
That's a lot.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
And then shoe assizes in this room and all the
other numbers. I got to try and keep organized. I could,
but Gigi, and I'm proud of her because she's she's
cussing now and she you wrote that she's saying O.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
S oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
My favorite part of this is that it's appropriately it's
appropriately timed in place, so she knows that, right, that's
what I'm saying. That's why I'm so proud of her,
not that she's cussing, but not only she cussing, but
she's using it appropriately properly, not appropriately, but properly.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
My girl's so smart. But what is the uh? Because
I want to throw this out there.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
I'm sure you guys can come up with things from
your kids eight five five five nine three five. What
is the thing that you had to get your kid
to stop saying? Because you know in this case it
was it's os. How does it come up? Like so
she hear she's heard you saying? Or is Hobby to colprit.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
No, No, it's me many of times because I just
I just say it and I didn't realize she understands,
like as far as picking up what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
And she just started saying it one day and I
was like, does she just say that?

Speaker 5 (32:21):
And Hobby's like clear as day, And then he's getting
all mad at me, and I'm like, well, it's not
my fault, Like I'm just a little badding with a
bad mouth, Like I can't like help her walking around
here just saying things. And then she has like her
like a new kitchen said that I got her and
she's playing whatever the pots and pans and it falls
and she goes, oh, sir, stop and she almost like

(32:42):
slept going up the stairs because I walk with her,
hold her fingers right we're doing one, two or three.
She like couldn't get her little foot up there, so
she like kind of you know, fell to the side
a little bit, like her little body and she goes,
oh s, I'm like sucked.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
But the problem is you want to laugh at that
because it's kind of cute and funny and the fact
that she knew to say that, and she learned that
from you, and she's doing it when she's supposed to
do it, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
I don't mean you're not supposed to do it.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
But it's one thing if a kid just says like
I can remember as it like being really little insane words.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I didn't know what they meant. But like that's that's
timing right. You know. She's honest, she knows what she's saying,
doesn't miss a beat. She's so smart, you guys.

Speaker 5 (33:19):
But like I don't know how to make her stop
because I'll say, Gigi, don't say that, and she laughs.
But she also doesn't get it right because like she
doesn't know what that means. Also does she really she
could really stop because I say stop.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
No say it's like an inside word.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
I feel like you can tell her, like if I
don't know how you guys feel as parents, but I
think you could just say, like, we don't say that
outside of the house, because I think you might have
lost the battle now that she knows what.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
I feel like you should probably not let her say
in the house either, because I don't know. I believe
words are just words. I think, just don't say that. Unfortunately,
the rest of the world doesn't think that.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
So so she's gonna go to pre K and see
that's right, She's gonna be DRS.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
That's like a new parenting thing though, Like people will say,
you can say it at home.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
They all, if you my little nephews on that video game,
I'm talking on a little Whinny's aunts.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I'm like, do y'all hear it? And the parents just
like listen, you know, because.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
I think until like maybe I don't know, like twenty
one or something, I tried not to cuss in front
of my parents, But now now I'm always cussing. I
don't care, and I feel like I can't as a parent.
Like my parents they had to try to get me
not to cuss like it was like, you know, they
can't just they can't just these can't.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Be are just free for all? No, you know what
I mean? So like I think you got to try
to get her to stop.

Speaker 5 (34:28):
I don't take it so personal, just as like a
bad word. Like again, like Caitlyn said, the words are words.
I just don't want her saying that to anybody. That's
the problem though, is like she's too young to know.
She's too young to know that she can say it
here and not say it there.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Yeah, it's hard.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Hey, Terrence, Terrence, what is it your kids start saying this?
You had to stop. It's like where'd you learn that?

Speaker 16 (34:53):
Both my kids they like to say what the s.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Like eleven and five? Okay, a little early for that.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
So this is now that Are they saying it when
they're supposed to say it, like when they're exasperated or
are they just saying it?

Speaker 16 (35:08):
My daughter is a grown woman in a little girl's body,
so when she drops water, anything breaks something, she's.

Speaker 17 (35:16):
Like, what what the here you talking about?

Speaker 1 (35:20):
So so, Terrence, what do you do?

Speaker 11 (35:22):
Like you just know that.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
You want to laugh, right because it's funny, but like
you probably don't want them doing that at in the wild.

Speaker 11 (35:28):
You can't.

Speaker 6 (35:30):
I can't, you can't, you can't, Like, how do you
correct something that like you created?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
You created this?

Speaker 11 (35:37):
I know that you like what you say.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Daddy, I know, but like if you laugh and then
you you sort of it's like you're sort of enabling it, right,
And then the problem is they go over to grandparents'
house and they go to school and then they get
in trouble for it, and they learned it from you,
and you didn't tell them to stop. So now they're
gonna you know, it's like but you kind of set
them up, not because maybe you don't care, but unfortunately
the world cares.

Speaker 16 (36:00):
Man, the world, what the is the least of my work?

Speaker 2 (36:05):
That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, is that where
I headed. I'm gonna go to like an elementary school
and it's gonna be like everyone just dropping f bomb.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Something rolling you. It's the new wave, and it's the
new waves. Cursing out teachers, it's a new waves, the
new wave.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
These parents are just letting them ride. I used to
have to curse in private, Like.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
You know, I don't.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
I am not approved, but I don't think that's a
great idea. Everyone is so sensitive. I don't think that's
a great idea. Thank you, Terrence, have a good day.
Let me see here. My kids started calling their dead
babe because I do. That's kind of funny. Son of
a bee when something fell. He's three.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
When my son was six or seven, he would call
his sister uh an adult toy that starts with a D.
I had no clue what it was.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
My sister called a a douche cabab because of me
when she was little, and she got suble for that.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Yeah, but I'm twenty eight and I still don't cuss
around my mom. Maybe that's a topic in itself. It's like,
what are you as an adult? What are you still
afraid to do?

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Oh? Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
I used to get my nana, who's like, she was
super Catholic and in her like mid eighties. I used
to get her to cuss and she really didn't want
to do it. I'd be like, Nana, say the F word,
and finally she'd do it, but she'd just kind of
shake when she did it. It was like, doesn't compute,
you know, Like, what would Jesus think of this? I
don't know. I'm sure you let it go. When my
daughter was one she.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
A second.

Speaker 2 (37:36):
Yeah, basically, it's said the S word. I let my
kids cuss when they were younger, as long as they
were not used towards anyone, like calling siblings the word.
We tell our grandkids don't say that that's a bad word.
We don't scold them because they're repeating what they hear.
We just let them know it's not a good word
to say.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
It's good. Yeah, I guess. So there's one about Barney
here where the Barney one go.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
I don't know, and then a bunch of people are
validating the outlook doesn't work so good. Okay, I'd like
to take a cuss word about that, but I'm not
going more.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show that
is like I don't want anything to do with you
or this kid. Here you go.

Speaker 4 (40:53):
Yeah, it's not it's not giving nice and the mom
has some some serious concerns and I understand why.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Man like, yeah, dad said no, here's here's a bunch
of money. But no.

Speaker 2 (41:06):
They gave them money because a lot of dads say no,
they don't get the money.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
So there's that like running right right right? Is he
not evade child support? I thought we were talking about personally.
Oh Yeaherty, I'm not the datty. Oh no, you didn't
pay your child support. Well I haven't paid any child supports.
I don't have any kids.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
But yeah, no, I haven't like running in our diaries
except we say them alive. We call them blogs. Nobody
call blowing glist. You take a blog, go.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Okay, dear blog.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Speaking of paying for things, I have come to the
point of my life where I am experiencing extreme sticker shock, okay,
And I don't appreciate how we just go through life
and allow these things to happen. So I went to
six Flags the other day, which I had no business
being there, okay, talk about a jet to holiday.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Woo, not a big girl sport anyway.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
So you know, but the pop, you know, like I
wanted to get some pop soda whatever you want to
call it. And it was seven dollars for a twenty
ounce of coca cola okay, And everybody was in there
just swiping and tapping their iPhones like this was normal.
That's not normal, okay. First of all, Then yesterday I
went to get an oil change. Every time I go

(42:32):
get a oil change or something, but it was over
one hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (42:36):
And I know, wait a minute, but did you go
for all the stuff?

Speaker 11 (42:39):
What?

Speaker 2 (42:40):
No, did they tell you all the stuff that all
your capacitor is Oh no, oh my gosh, blink or
fluid completely empty. I'm not even sure how you operated
like this.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
You know, I don't go for that.

Speaker 3 (42:52):
You know, they come over there with that little white
sheet of paper with all those things, tell them take
that right back.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
But that's my point. That's that's my point.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
There was I didn't do anything on the list, and
it was it was still one hundred dollars, and we
all sit around and act like this is normal. No,
when I used to go get my nails done, friend,
it was twenty five dollars. Sure was, I go get
a full set of nails one hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
You have become that person. Now we just walk around
and act like this is normal. You become that person.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
We need to start like having full meltdown, sticker shock faith.
Like the next time somebody tell me something that's overpriced,
I'm gonna just faint right there, like I can't believe
it and fall out because this.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Well, don't do that, because the hospital bill won't make
you happy either there you go, or the copey or
the medicine or the ambulance tried, so noh, yeah, you
don't want that.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Don't faint, bro, This is insane.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
And it's just like people just go up on their
prices and we all we just we just pay it.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Nobody react.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
I want to know where all the money is, hey,
because like every time I look at to your point,
every time I like go on vacation or I take
a trip, and I'm like this place is nice. I
wonder how much of condo would be here just for
just for fun, like how much it costs live here?
And I look it up and I'm like eight million
dollars for an apartment, you know, or like next year
I want to go on a trip and I'm looking
at hotels and I'm like, huh huh, like who has somebody?

(44:13):
I get that things are more expensive, but who's buying
it right? Or like to get on you know, just
crappy airline, you know whatever, crabby airline. I'm not going
to pick it any one of them, but where they
don't give you anything and nothing crazy happens, and you
know what, you gotta get on it whatever. And that's
seven hundred bucks to go to, you know, Saint Louis.
And I'm like, I've always wanted to go to Saint Louis,
but not for seven hundred bucks. Yeah, I mean, I

(44:33):
just I don't know who has the money to do
all this stuff. So like, at what point does everybody
stand up and go, we can't afford any of this,
We're not doing it anymore, none of it. And then
everything has to come down in price exactly. So I'm
ready to cool.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Come on, I'm ready to start it. Lead the charge. Okay,
where are we going? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (44:49):
I still have no idea how you spent one hundred
bucks in the oil change, though I think I think
you got bamboozom.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
No way they put they put the diamond oil in. Well,
they put the air in. My tire was the next
forty five dollars.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Somehow, somehow you drove your card of the oil change,
but you only had three tires somehow. Oh yeah, don't
know what happened to the fourth tire. You gonna have
to buy another way. I don't know where it went.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Okay, so how much are you I'll paying for oil change? Nothing?
Why do you continually get rip of it? Just so
happens that a guy in here with a man who
owns a garage that operates, you know, the work cars.
It would be crazy for you to go to that
place where I'm done. It's so fat on with me.
I'm done, I'm done selling. You're paid one hundred dollars

(45:31):
for an oil change. Can you live near him? My
mechanic owns the garage, the closest one in this room.
My head, Jason, I never want to bother. That's the
and that's another. Jason, I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Editing, I took I took my Pinto I to the dealership,
to the Pinto dealership, and they wanted to replace eighty
four spark plugs.

Speaker 1 (45:52):
And I did it. It was four thousand dollars. I
did it. Can you believe it? Can you believe that?

Speaker 2 (45:56):
Jason?

Speaker 1 (45:57):
If only there was someone in here who could help
me with it. Come gosh, it's so good. It's all
hard to find a good mechanic. Also, our Bella went
to another mechanic her window fit. I don't know one's
problem is with the gay rag in here.

Speaker 19 (46:10):
But.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
We do payment plans and finance to come there. You
don't have to come there, Yes, I do need to
come here. He stay or go?

Speaker 2 (46:21):
Okay, you guys, something going on? You want us to
talk about you, Well, He'll be on the phone for
part of it, so it's not all behind your back.
You can hit us up on all the different social
search for the Fred Show and Fred Show Radio dot com.
I gotta pull out my phone because you know my
outlook doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Why would it? Hey, Kelsey, how you doing.

Speaker 20 (46:43):
About yourself?

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Kelsey doing all right, welcome to the program. Here.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
So you have been in a relationship for a year
and a half and it says here that you think
your boyfriend's wonderful. Okay, great, well thanks for calling. I mean,
what are we talking about here? Your boyfriend's wonderful, you're
and a half, you know, a nice run. So what's
the issue?

Speaker 15 (47:04):
Okay?

Speaker 20 (47:04):
So I'm going to say it again. He's really great.
He's very loving, very helpful around the house.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Is a big butt coming, is a big butt coming?

Speaker 20 (47:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (47:18):
He gets angry, Okay, Like I mean, you.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Know his sports seems losing angry or you know his
I don't know, he stuffed his toe angry, or you
ran out of fish ticks angry?

Speaker 1 (47:33):
You know? Like what kind of angry are you talking
about here?

Speaker 20 (47:37):
So I would definitely say he has anger issues. He yells,
he's punched a ball or two. Sometimes he'll throw things
and it's a lot. And it's not like he's ever
hit me or anything, like I don't think he would
ever do that, But it's just kind of terrifying to

(48:00):
be around him.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Is he mad at you or is he mad about
other things? Or it does it matter?

Speaker 20 (48:08):
It doesn't matter. It's just the way that he expresses
whatever he's feeling is not healthy.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
It's scary, okay, And do you feel in danger?

Speaker 2 (48:18):
I mean you say that you don't think he would
hit you, but like, do you feel do you feel
at risk by this behavior? Or is it just scary
because of how quickly it ramps up and the way
that he's sort of you know, it's communicated, I guess
or manifest I.

Speaker 20 (48:35):
Yeah, I don't feel like I'm in danger, but it's
it's just stressful having to witness it and be around it.
And that's just how he is when he's upset.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
And has it always been this way the whole year
and a half or is this something that you're only
now seeing Maybe he was able to sort of keep
it under.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Wraps for a while.

Speaker 20 (48:55):
Well, I mean I would say like the first few months,
like I hadn't really seen that side of him, But
you know, a few months in that's when you start to.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
See, right, you're not really dating the real person for
about six months, I've found resentative. Yeah, if you make
it that far, Yeah, you're only seeing You're seeing what
they want you to see. So this is more likely
what you would be dealing with if you were with
him forever, a lot of text already coming in. You

(49:25):
got to you gotta run, like you gotta go the
other way, Like this is a huge red flag. Now
do you have any idea where this is coming from?

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Like?

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Is it where this why it ramps up so quickly?
I mean, is it like is it? Do you feel
like he's really stressed out? Do you feel like it's
some sort of childhood trauma. Do you think it's anxiety
or I mean, you know, is this something that a
medical professional could address? Is he willing to go to therapy?
I mean, have you talked about any of this with him?
Have you said, hey, I watched you go from zero

(49:54):
to one hundred so quickly and it really concerns me.
Or does that just cause him to go zero.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
To one hundred.

Speaker 20 (50:01):
I'm I'm a little scared to talk to him about it,
And that's a problem.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
Flak grand flag. Yeah, if she's scared, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Because I don't think anything's gonna change unless you communicate
to him that you are concerned about it. And if
you already feel trepidation about sharing it with him or
sharing your thoughts with him, then that's the problem. Because
how is it ever going to be resolved. Do you
guys live together.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
We don't, not yet. Huh.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
But you say he's wonderful. I mean, so every other
aspect of the relationship you're happy with, except when he
gets angry, he gets really angry.

Speaker 20 (50:41):
Yeah, huh yeah, And that's what's that's what's difficult here,
is he's actually really wonderful. It's just he's got a
short fuse and his emotional regulation just isn't good when
he's mad.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I mean, it's overwhelming on the text, like it's blowing
up eight five, five, five, nine, one one three five,
you can call it text the same number. It's it's
overwhelming that you have to move on. And I know
that's easy for other people to say. Unfortunately, it sounds
like a lot of people have lived through this before, though,
and so they're they're they're coming, you know, they're they're
talking to you, or they're they're giving this advice from
their perspective and and maybe some of these people have

(51:21):
seen it through a little bit longer and it's been bad.

Speaker 7 (51:24):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
This is above my pay grade, though, which is why
I think we have a bunch of strangers tell you
what to do. Eight five, five, five, nine one three five. Fortunately,
this is not one that I've encountered before. I've encountered
people that drink way too much and then their behavior
becomes extremely erratic and dangerous, and that's a problem. But
I've never encountered anybody who gets just just hair pin

(51:48):
trigger angry. But if you can't talk to him about it,
I guess that's the first sign that. I mean, how
do you expect it to be any different if you
don't feel comfortable talking to him about it and and
thus coming up with some kind of a resolution, him
getting some kind of help. I mean, I guess I
don't know what. I don't know what to tell you.
If you can't talk to him about it like that

(52:10):
to me says everything.

Speaker 13 (52:11):
M h.

Speaker 20 (52:14):
I mean I could try to talk to him, I
just I haven't yet.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Hmmm. I'm gonna take some phone calls on this, Kelsey.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
I want you to listen, because I do think that
a lot of people out there, you know, something about
our show is when we talk about stuff, and people
can call from their perspectives and a lot of people
have lived this before. So maybe someone will say something
that's helpful to you or that inspires you to know what.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
To do next. But I wish you the best, you know,
be safe. Please Okay, yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (52:45):
Yeah, people are saying, and I do feel like she's
she's looking for validation to leave.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
That's what I do.

Speaker 2 (52:49):
I think she's looking for someone to tell her to leave.
And I agree with that. A bunch of texts like that,
Hey Jessica, good morning.

Speaker 10 (52:55):
Good morning, how are you?

Speaker 2 (52:56):
And I was kind of serious to start the day.
But nonetheless, I think people out there may have lived
this before and might have some perspective to offer. This
woman is concerned because she's been with a guy for
a year and a half and he said she says
he's a great guy. Maybe she's saying next to it
doesn't get mad, but she says he's a great guy,
except he has a temper and it hasn't really necessarily
come out at her, but it comes out, you know,

(53:19):
punching walls and you know, really sort of over the top,
and it's scary.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
What do you think.

Speaker 10 (53:25):
Well, I'm kind of on the other end of this.
I married this person. We dated for about four years,
and unfortunately I had unknown resolved unresolved childhood traumas, and
I thought this was normal, and we got married, we
have some kids, and I finally threw my therapist have

(53:47):
taken a stand and said, I'm not doing this anymore.
You have to go to therapy, you have to be
on medication. It has gotten better, but he still has
never said this is a problem. Like he always says
I'm working on myself. He's never really come out and
said that, you know, I have this problem. I have
anger issues of fatality issues, like it's really hard. It's

(54:09):
really hard. So if I could go back in time,
sad to say, I love my children, but I would
not have played with it.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
It's such an interesting thing, Jessica, because I guess I
never really understood this until recently, and I've I've been
alive for a while. But you are saying that you
grew up seeing this or experiencing this, and so as
obvious as it sounds, you know, you just thought that
was how everybody was, and at some point what you
had an awakening, like you just said, wait a minute,

(54:37):
this isn't how, this is not how every relationship is.
It was modeled for you, and so now it's like,
no hold on, I don't want to live this way?
Is that what happened? How did you come to that
spot where you realize, Okay, no, this isn't how it's
supposed to be.

Speaker 10 (54:50):
Well, I started going to therapy and I explained all
my situations to my therapist and she's and me. I've
been with her for probably about four years now, I've
been married for seventeen. But yeah, she's just like, this
is not normal, and she kind of, you know, let
me see that it's not okay that he yells at
loud and throws things and you know, I've actually had

(55:13):
to call the police. And I feel like that that
was kind of like an awaking needs for him, Like, Okay,
she's not dealing with this anymore. This is not going
to be okay, Like I have to change. And my
kids are now experiencing, you know, problems because they witnessed this,
and so we're having to go through therapy with them
and you know, unresolved trauma. And I mean it's big,

(55:35):
like she, like I said, if I could go back
in time, I wouldn't. I would have left him.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Do you see a world Jessica where he I mean,
he recognizes it and actually makes big steps towards changing it,
or do you think it's a lost cause.

Speaker 10 (55:50):
Well, my therapist says, I still have hope. So if
I still have hope, then there's you know, I shouldn't
leave yet He's actively working on it, and he has
gotten that, And I know that people in a piece
of situations often say, you know, like, oh, but he's
gotten so much better since then, But he has. And
so I'm trying to focus on that. And I've laid
out to him what I need in this marriage for

(56:12):
it to work. And and we're actually we have a
couple of therapy tomorrow, so I'm going to present him
with that.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
But that takes what you're doing, Jessa, takes a lot
of courage. Because everyone on here saying run, and I
know why they're saying that, because it's dangerous. There could
be dangerous. It sounds like you're fighting for it and
you know, giving this gun opportunity to change and uh,
and that takes a lot of courage.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
So good for you.

Speaker 10 (56:33):
Thanks, Thanks, I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
You have a good day, Jessica.

Speaker 10 (56:37):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
It's amazing how like you can.

Speaker 2 (56:40):
Not to make it about me, but like you you
can experience something growing up you can know what it was,
you can and then and then you can be triggered
by that behavior all your life until one day you
just say, and it happened for me recently.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
It's like wait a minute, no, like no, I'm not,
you're not You're not going to do that.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
And then you you connect it with thing that happened,
you know, early on in your life, and you're like, well,
that's why that triggers me. But now I'm taking a
stand like no, not no, like I'm not going to
be treated that way by anybody. And unfortunately sometimes it
takes over correction to then come to the place where
you just avoid it entirely.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
But that that makes me sad.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
It makes me sad that this woman got herself into
a marriage thinking this is this is how it, this
is just how it is right because it's what she
saw it and it doesn't have to be that way.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Hey Becky, good morning, good morning. How are you doing?

Speaker 2 (57:29):
I beg you Okay, So you're not a total random
you are a therapist. You know, we did not check
your licensure, but we'll.

Speaker 5 (57:34):
Go with it.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
You hear this, What do you think.

Speaker 6 (57:39):
If a person doesn't have emotional regulation, which is really
control of their emotions. Right now, the relationship as relationship
culch I will tell her he's only going to get
to know you. He's going to become familiar which you.
Once he becomes familiar with you, he's going to feel
comfortable lashing out and you and you don't know where

(57:59):
that lash is going to go to.

Speaker 12 (58:01):
Him, definitely if he's behaving like that, asis well, adverse
childhood traumas have come in those experiences. So if he
doesn't have control of it, you have an individual with
unmanagemental health issues.

Speaker 6 (58:17):
They may manage it. What a faz with alcohol?

Speaker 1 (58:20):
You never know in your experience, Becky, for your life.

Speaker 2 (58:24):
Okay, all right, so she says, go now in your experience, though,
have you ever seen where people can be rehabilitated from this?
Like if the guy is really opened, if he accepts
the fact that this is really happening and he wants
to save his family, and he goes to the right
person and he leans into the process. I mean, does
it have to be a go.

Speaker 6 (58:43):
No, it doesn't have to be a goal. But she's
afraid to address him, and he's he hasn't taken responsibility
for his actions, because if he took responsibility for his actions,
you think it is when you look at an individual
you care about and you see how you've wounded them,
or you see how you've brought them to fear, you

(59:05):
try to comfort them in that, whatever means it takes,
you would try to you know what, I'm going to
talk to somebody about this. You should be your own advocate.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
Yeah, and yeah, that's not happening, Becky. Thank you. Have
a good day, you too. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:23):
I mean I'm not naive to the fact this is
happening a lot, but my god is the text is
blowing up with people who, unfortunately can relate to this
very scenario. Hey Monica, Hi, good morning, Hi Monica.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
So, if you're just joining, and I know you're not,
but if you're just tuning in stare go, this woman
you know, loves your boyfriend, says he's a great guy,
but things go zero to sixty with the anger. He
gets very angry, very quickly, and well it's not directed
at her yet it concerns her, but she's not willing
to talk to him about it, and she's wondering if
she needs to get out. It sounds like if she's
not willing to talk about it, then there's nothing left

(59:56):
to talk about.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
Like she's got to go.

Speaker 10 (59:59):
Yeah, she has to absolutely go.

Speaker 19 (01:00:01):
And as out listening, the fact that she says that
I don't think he'll hit me, Oh, she's not certain.
I've been married with my husband for over eighteen years
and I can say he will not hit me. There's
a difference between being angry simply just you know, the
temple of angry. Oh you know, I'm hungry or I've
lost the game. But the fact that she cannot say

(01:00:24):
he won't hit me, and even listening to her talks,
she sounds very scared.

Speaker 6 (01:00:29):
To get the words out.

Speaker 10 (01:00:31):
All the red flags are there.

Speaker 13 (01:00:32):
She has to go.

Speaker 10 (01:00:33):
She's setting herself up for a lifetime a.

Speaker 19 (01:00:36):
Failure, and once she brings kids into the mix, it's
going to be even harder to leave.

Speaker 10 (01:00:41):
So I hope that she's listening, but she needs to go,
needs to go.

Speaker 1 (01:00:48):
Have a good day.

Speaker 13 (01:00:48):
Welcome, so thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:50):
I think it sometimes gets you in new a value
proposition too. Some people think that they just don't they
don't deserve to have it all. And I'm not sure
if that's what she's thinking, but you know, for some
people it's well, they just stay in it because it's like, well,
you know, he's nice most of the time.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
Yeah, you make excuse excuses, and you see potential and
you and when it's good, it's probably really good, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Like when they make up, it probably feels great, but
then it happens again. It's a cycle. Yeah, maya, Hi, Hi,
good morning, Hey, good morning. Stay or go? What do
you think when you hear this, it's kind of overwhelming today, Yeah,
she needs to.

Speaker 13 (01:01:21):
Go, definitely.

Speaker 15 (01:01:22):
I sadly was in a similar situation and he was
throwing things and screaming on stop until one day he
drew something towards me and smashed my face.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and he said.

Speaker 15 (01:01:36):
He would never hit me, he would never do anything
like that, but one day it happened.

Speaker 10 (01:01:41):
He was so remorseful.

Speaker 13 (01:01:43):
I'm so sorry. But you know what, I walked away
good thing.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Yes, yeah, a lot of strength and I'm sorry it
came to that. But so for you, when you hear this,
it's well, it's not happening yet, but you know we're
on the trajectory. It's escalating, and so you hear this
and you think, well, you know, we're certainly headed in
the wrong direction. As far as he may not. He
may say that, or you may feel that now, but
it's but since they've Matt, it's gotten so much worse.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
So it's possible that it turns on her.

Speaker 13 (01:02:12):
See.

Speaker 15 (01:02:12):
The scary thing about this is that God Forbada turns
on her and then when she walks away like myself, now,
if I hear a man yelling or loud noises or
anything smashing, I jump.

Speaker 13 (01:02:24):
And I was in therapy for three years because of him.

Speaker 15 (01:02:26):
I'm much better now, but I still get triggered.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
Yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, that's stuff that Steph Lingers. Yeah,
thank you, Maya, Thanks for sharing. Have a good day.

Speaker 15 (01:02:36):
Thank you you too.

Speaker 1 (01:02:36):
All Right, I was gonna move on. I got time
for one more though. Albert, good morning, Good morning. How
you guys doing that all the time?

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
And this guy kind of heavy, But I maybe it's
something that people need to hear because it obviously resonates
with people. But you are calling because you were this
guy in some ways. I'm not saying this guy because
I don't know what you were and I don't know
what he is, but but you were the angry guy.

Speaker 18 (01:02:58):
Yes, so.

Speaker 16 (01:03:00):
Childhood trauma, all of that aside, there were issues in
our marriage and I became very angry and hateful and
verbally would lash out and things like that. Unfortunately, my
kids also saw me acting like that, and I knew
I needed to get better. I knew I wanted to

(01:03:21):
be better, but I was just in my own little
world with that hate and anger for so long that
that was my normal. And it took for my ex
wife to actually go through with the whole divorce process
for me to you know, hit rock bottom and realize, hey,
I need to change. I need to you know, work

(01:03:44):
on myself and get rid of this anger that's built up.
So I'm in a much better place now. But and
I'm not trying to victim blame or anything like that,
but I feel now that I can think clearly about
how I behaved and how my anger was and what
I put my ex and the kids through. I'm a

(01:04:04):
little ashamed that, you know, my ex stayed with me
for as long as she did, because I kind of hope,
you know, she would have left that situation before it
got to that point.

Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
I hear you saying that you're accepting your behavior, and
you look back and think, how on earth would someone
stay with me through that, which is something you weren't
able to see at the time.

Speaker 16 (01:04:26):
Correct.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
Yeah, And so here's here's the guy in the situation.

Speaker 11 (01:04:30):
Go.

Speaker 1 (01:04:30):
Yeah, he's selling this woman to go from his perspective.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Mact that so much because I do to relationships say
I'm going to stay for the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
I'm going to stay and work it out for the kids.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
If you are in an abusive relationship, the best thing
you can do for your kids is to leave.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Yeah. And if the.

Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Abuse can be emotional and it can be burner, it
doesn't have to be physical.

Speaker 10 (01:04:49):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
I appreciate you calling, man, because you know, we really
we had only heard from you from the other side.
So and the fact that you can say that now
and you could admit that you were that person, and
I appreciate that valuable.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
Have a good day, man, Yeah, I have a good one.

Speaker 9 (01:05:02):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
And then we did get a text it to Taylor
Swift announced an album.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
So just so you know, did you guys know Taylor
Swift announced very heavy, very heavy topic. But Taylor Swift
announce an album. Calon's Entertainment Report, he's on.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
The Bread Show.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
We now know the cause of death for Kelly Clarkson's
ex husband, Brandon Blackstock, also a talent manager and former
stepson of Ruba McIntyre died from melanoma, a form of
skin cancer that he battled for over three years. He
passed away peacefully at his home in Montana, surrounded by
family under hospice care. He leaves behind four children, which
is so sad, two with Kelly, two from a previous marriage,

(01:05:37):
as well as a grandson and extended family. So while
a lot of people think melanoma no big deal, beatable,
it can be a big deal. So please wear your
son's screen. I don't care if you don't burn, I
don't care if you tan well. Please wear your sun's screen.
It's always my PSA. Nicki Minaj and former NFL star
Dez Bryant have ended that social media feud I told

(01:05:58):
you about.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
I think it was last week if you've got though.

Speaker 4 (01:06:00):
The whole thing started when Nicki referenced his past legal
issues and he fired back by calling attention to our
husband's criminal history.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
Nikki even offered Dez ten million to fight her husband,
which was wild.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
The online showdown concluded with Dez issuing a heartfelt apology,
acknowledging that he let the devil win and expressing regret
for bringing up Nicki's husband. She responded with grace, accepting
his apology and praising his accountability.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
So that was not something I expected. That was a
very mature way to end social media feud. NBA Star
And this is the story that I teased.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
Anthony Edwards just paid over one million dollars in child support,
covering the next eighteen years for his child in one
lump sum, but his ex, Aisha Howard, says it's unfair
because she can't go back to court and ask for
more if his income goes up. She said, I've already
paid one hundred thousand or I've already used that. Rather,
what if it runs out before eighteen years. She didn't

(01:06:56):
blame the judge for betraying her, saying this is an injustice,
injustice to poor women like me. I feel betrayed. So
I guess a judge signed off on that. I've never
heard of that happening.

Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Which is crazy because look how the prices keep going up,
right exactly inflation. Suishing today is not to wishing tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (01:07:13):
A million percent. So it'll be interesting to see if
that can be challenged or how that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:17):
Moves forward base get a million bucks. It was just
over Yeah, so fifty a year. Yeah yeah, I mean
I guess, I guess I'm surprised. Yeah, me too, Yeah,
that that would But we'll see how it all plays out.
And then there are some people now listening going fifty
grand central bit because my dead be pay anything for sure.

(01:07:40):
You know, it's all ends of the spectrum.

Speaker 4 (01:07:42):
We got to get to the showdown though, but if
you want to watch us on YouTube, you could type
freend Show Radio and we will go live throughout the
show during the portions that we can afford.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):

and fifty.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Shelley's record one thoy thirty nine wins only sixty nine

Shelley, you go with what like Easter eggsilines, I'm.

Doing Massive twelve twelve, but the announcement was at twelve,
but then it's your twelfth album twelve twelve.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Twelve, and then twelve times and then yeah, yeah, somebody
to go back and look in the background of the set.
Maybe there's some clue in there too. There wasn't Easter Egg.
There was an extra suit case and sent me I
don't know, but the ts on it and it was
up on his little show, and.

Speaker 2 (01:09:05):

a trash to figure out who she was working with.
So you think maybe it's gonna be like a nineties
pop sound Max Martin.

Speaker 1 (01:09:12):
Yeah, who did in nineteen eighty nine.

Speaker 2 (01:09:16):
Backstree Boys and a bunch of other stuff too, So
maybe maybe there'll be some mixed up lyrics too. Where
like tell me like I want it that way, where
the song won't make any sense, but it will be
a complete and total banger.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Maybe, do you have what it takes to battle show biz?
Shelley in the show Biz Showdown Show? You're gonna listen
to the actual podcast episode right like that. I'm gonna
watch it, Shelley, watch it. Oh my gosh, I still
leave my house. Yeah, Okay, it on a movie theater.

Speaker 2 (01:09:50):

you want to talk about overpriced stuff? How about going
to the movies try and buy it. You gotta buy
seven gallons and it's like twenty eight dollars and don't
refill it for you though.

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
Yeah, and it all tastes like grape because they use
the machine with all the different flavors.

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Man, I was just somewhere the other day where they
had the one machine that makes every Shoda ever ever invented.

Speaker 12 (01:17:15):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Good morning? Uh, you know I'm doing okay, just you know,
just a little confused.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
In my dating life, I guess, right right, Okay, well
that's what we're here for. Why don't you tell us
about this guy, Alex, how did you meet? I want
to hear about any dates that you've been on, and
then you know what's happening right now.

Speaker 1 (01:17:31):
So I met this guy.

Speaker 18 (01:17:32):
Alex on Hinge and you know, after we matched, we
did talk for a few days until he finally asked
me out, you know, for drinks, and that actually turned
into dinner, which was you know, which was nice.

Speaker 19 (01:17:44):
You know.

Speaker 18 (01:17:44):
For some reason though, Alex kind of stopped responding to me,
and I don't really know if I have any more
energy for any more first dates. So I guess I'm
calling because I you know, i'd like you to figure
out what's going on with this one.

Speaker 1 (01:17:58):
I really don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:17:59):
Okay, So you really thought everything went really well and
I always ask these questions, but you know, you look
back on the date. The conversation was good. You thought
there was chemistry, You felt like, you know, the back
and forth was going on, and the whole thing nothing awkward, nothing,
nothing weird.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
Yeah, I mean I really.

Speaker 18 (01:18:14):
Thought back to the entire like date night, the conversations
were easy and crazy. You know, we laughed a little
bit here and there, food and drinks were good, and
you know, overall, I just felt like we enjoyed each
other's company. So that's why I'm kind of sitting over
here like, well, why are you leaving me on read?

Speaker 8 (01:18:30):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:18:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Yeah, And look, I say this all the time about
the dating apps because I've been on and off them forever.
When you meet someone and you feel a certain kind
of way, you know, and they and they feel it
feels different from the other matches and there's actual chemistry,
because that's something you can't gauge on the dating apps, right,
is if there's going to be in person chemistry. So
when you go out with someone and then you sense that,
then you know you you were hoping that goes someplace exactly.

Speaker 18 (01:18:53):
Yeah, you know, this entire dating world on the apps
has really just turned a lot of us off to
the concept of even dating and being in a relationship.

Speaker 2 (01:19:02):
Yeah, well, let's call this guy Alex. You're gonna be
on the phone at the same time. We're gonna ask
these questions for you if we can get a hold
of him. And you know, the hope is always is
that we can figure out what's up, straighten it out,
set you guys up on another date, and then we'll
pay for that. Christina. Yeah, okay, let's call Alex. You
guys met on one of the dating apps.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
You went in a date.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
You felt like the chemistry was good, back and forth
was good. You were attracted to him, you got the
vibe he was into you. The problem is you haven't
heard from this guy since that date, and it's bugging you.
You've been thinking a lot about it, and you want
to know what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:19:36):
What's going on? Yeah, exactly, I just don't like the
last Okay, let's call him now. Good luck. Hello, Hi,
is this Alex?

Speaker 11 (01:19:53):
Yeah, this is Alex.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Alex, Hi, good morning. My name is Friend. I'm calling
from the Fred's Show, the Morning radio Show. I have
to tell you that we are on radio right now.
I would need your permission to Yeah, I need you
permission to continue with the call.

Speaker 1 (01:20:04):
Is that cool? Foo cheat for just a second? Oh?

Speaker 11 (01:20:06):
Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
Okay, Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:20:08):
We're calling on behalf of a woman who reached out
to us. Her name is Christina, and I guess you
recently went on a date after matching on one of
the apps.

Speaker 1 (01:20:15):
Do you remember her?

Speaker 11 (01:20:15):
Oh yeah, I remember?

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
Okay, good, So what happened? Because she just got done
telling us that she liked you and was attracted to
you and thought the date went well and all these things,
but says she hasn't heard from you since then. You
haven't called her, texted it or responded or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
So what happened? What's not?

Speaker 11 (01:20:32):
Nothing too much? The date was just pretty good, and
then like, I don't know, she did something that made
me feel kind of weird. So basically, like throughout the
whole date, she was like at first there was something
like a napcan, she'd stick it in her purse, and
then like she was like a spoon, she's stuck it
in her purse, a menu she stuck it in her purse,
and like I didn't know she was like a kleptomaniac

(01:20:53):
or something. But eventually I finally brought it up to her,
and then she was like, Oh, I'm just saving a
bunch of stuff from our first date in case we
up getting married someday. I'm not ready to think about
marriage at all.

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Yeah, so I stole them to marry you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:09):
She stole them any in case you guys got married,
and somehow, I don't know, she could like give it
to your children that you're gonna have.

Speaker 11 (01:21:14):
Yeah, yes, you know, so they could know what the
soup special was, you know, on a first state, Like,
I don't know, it just kind of spooked me, like
it wasn't a big deal, but yeah, it was just
like it seemed like she's pretty eager to, you know,
jump into marriage or something.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
So like I've heard about people doing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:29):
This, by the way, I've heard about people keeping like that,
you know, the concert ticket stub or the some sort
of momento, but they do it quietly. They're not that
obvious about it because it's like one of those things
where later then you give it to them and it's like,
oh my gosh, that was so sweet that you collected
all this stuff. But then if it doesn't work out,
they never know you did it right. But this woman
is just doing it right in front of you. So
so someday, if you get married, she can give you

(01:21:51):
back the spoon that she ate from.

Speaker 1 (01:21:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:21:56):
I mean you'd have to ask her her train of
thought on that, but yeah, all right.

Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
Well, good hey, good news, because I can Christina is here.
I forgot yeah, I forgot to mention that part. I'm sorry.
I'm very I'm often very forgetful with these things. Christina,
is this what happened? You were saving things from the
date so that you could I don't know, like as
a as a momento.

Speaker 18 (01:22:16):
I mean, honestly, I didn't really think about that as
like a red flag on my end.

Speaker 1 (01:22:21):
Eventually, you know, one of the first date will not
say little things just in.

Speaker 2 (01:22:27):
Case, you know, I mean for one purpose exactly, Like
so like, remember the menu here it is from years
ago when we met.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
I mean, is that a scrap book?

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:22:38):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
Are you keeping a scrap book? Are you keeping? Is
it like for evidence purposes?

Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:22:42):
What are we doing?

Speaker 18 (01:22:43):
No, it's just like, you know, the relationship will move
forward eventually, someday, you know, we could be husband and
wife and it would just be nice to have a
see you little mementos from our first date where you know,
things got you know, our relationship started essentially.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Okay, No, because I really have heard about that. I've
heard about guys who keep little things early on and
then later they're like, hey, look, and then they give
it to the person in some form of Yeah, like
a scrap book or something, and it usually comes off
sweet if you're really into the person. But again, if
if it winds up going you know, falling flat, then
you throw the stuff away.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
It's like it never happened.

Speaker 2 (01:23:20):
I have heard this. I've heard of guys doing it
for girls. I haven't heard it the other way around.
But you're saying, Alex that this was at first You're like,
I think she's a thief, which we've had that before.
By the way, I'm waiting by the phone when people
are stealing like the ketchup and the Saltan pepper shakers,
but I guess their personal use or something. But you're
saying it just kind of freaks you out because she's
ten steps ahead of you.

Speaker 17 (01:23:40):
Yeah, at the end of the day, like it's not
necessarily about you know, taking this stuff. It's just like,
you know, we literally just met and like somehow on
our first date, you know, the conversation gets turned to
talking about marriage. Like that's just on any first date.
I don't think you should use the M word at all.

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
I would think that's probably pretty safe. Yeah, I mean, Christina,
can you see how this might have looked to somebody
who's just getting to know you? Might be a little
easily spooked about the commitment thing. Doesn't even know your
you know, last name.

Speaker 1 (01:24:10):
I mean not, no, not really.

Speaker 18 (01:24:12):
I honestly I do this on every first day I have,
just in case. And honestly, I like, you really shouldn't
feel so special about that. You're not the first guy.

Speaker 6 (01:24:21):
I do that too.

Speaker 1 (01:24:22):
How many how many second dates do you do?

Speaker 18 (01:24:24):
I mean, depending on the guy, I you know, you
a little bit here and there. I wouldn't say, like
my rate is one hundred percent overall, but.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Who is how many menus do you have at these?
I mean, do you even have to look up? You know,
like what's eat anymore? You just I'm just cared. I'm
just wondering.

Speaker 18 (01:24:41):
No, no, I mean again, I would say I just
date the normal amount. And I really don't think it's
a huge deal that I like to keep things from
you know, things that could potentially matter to me down
in the future. And yeah, I've been out on second
dates and honestly, this is the first time that anyone
has actually said anything to me about, you know, taking

(01:25:05):
the mentos from our first game. So Alex, You're you're
starting to feel like you're really special here.

Speaker 1 (01:25:12):
But the one.

Speaker 6 (01:25:15):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
Yeah, I don't know that we need to necessarily diss
the man.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
I mean, you know, this is what you chose to do,
and and you announced it, and the guy spooked, and
he has a right to that. I mean that's not
uncommon early on in relationships that people if you're already
indicating a level of seriousness, that that person isn't necessarily
prepared to, you know, accept because they don't know you
that well. So I don't know if it's the taking

(01:25:40):
of the men you per se. I think it's the
fact that you're like, well, we might get married some
days walking, I mean we're halfway through the date.

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
I don't I don't know. There's so many restaurants out
there though, that are like missing right out right, Yeah,
a lot of places. Wonder where there's spoons and silver
were with this economy? Okay, look, so I'll ask the question, Alex.
I think I know the answer, but I'm required to
ask you. Would you like to go out with Christina
again if she leaves all of the restaurant's items at

(01:26:08):
the restaurant?

Speaker 11 (01:26:11):
No, like after this awkwardness, and like, I think it
shows the best, you know, we go our separate way.
Thank you, dude, Seriously, you.

Speaker 1 (01:26:18):
Are not special, so you have to stop.

Speaker 2 (01:26:22):
You know, we we were clear he was special when
we did all this other stuff, but then about halfway
through the call, he became unspecial, right, Yeah, I.

Speaker 11 (01:26:29):
Was special enough to steal a spoon for come on, he.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
Does that for everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Okay, yeah, no, and it's it's petty. That's petty theft
or something that's a misdemeanor at least. Okay that she
may not.

Speaker 1 (01:26:41):
Be Superman, but I'm Spoonman baby, Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:26:45):
Anyway, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know spoon Man.
I'm not sure about that one. But Christina, get back
on the apps. Spoon Man's taken. I guess I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:56):
That was weird. Cain's Entertainment report on Ooh, this is
getting wild.

Speaker 4 (01:27:02):
So Brooklyn Beckham, son of Victoria and David Beckham, had
a whole vow renewal and didn't even invite his parents
amid all this family drama. So he and his wife Nikola,
who was beautiful, shared photos from their vow renewal on
Instagram yesterday, which I guess took place at our family's
estate on August second. And then this morning, the couple

(01:27:23):
who said I do for a second time in just
three years. So I also thought that was interesting of
their after party. They shared those photos too, where it
is that David and Victoria were not even told about
the ceremony amid this whole family drama, and so Nikola's
parents very much took center stage. They were in all
these photos, They were applauded, they were celebrated. So, I mean,

(01:27:45):
I don't know all the ins and outs of their
family drama, but I can't imagine that that was easy
for David and Victoria to see online. I did hear
that it started between the brothers with a girl they
both dated, and then I they know that there was
drama between Nicola and Victoria long before that. It was
very much giving Paulina, You and I talked about this,

(01:28:07):
like when Victoria interrupted their first dance to dance with
her son.

Speaker 1 (01:28:11):
That was a little red flaggy for me. And then
I know Nikolo didn't wear a.

Speaker 4 (01:28:15):
Dress designed by Victoria, So I know that there was
some drama back at their first wedding as well, So
maybe that's why they wanted to redo it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:21):
But they didn't even know and they were not invited.

Speaker 4 (01:28:25):
And speaking of weddings and also soccer stars, everyone was
talking about it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:30):
So let's do it. Cristiano Ronaldo. Okay, So he got engaged.

Speaker 4 (01:28:33):
To his very long time partner Georgina Rodriguez, and he
broke the internet because of this engagement ring.

Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
And we've all seen it, right, it is huge. I
like Freds and I don't know how she even can
lift her hand up. It's so massive. It broke the
whole internet. You know how I feel about rings these days? Yeah,
tell us, I do not. Okay, So that's a massive ring.
He's so rich.

Speaker 2 (01:28:59):
I'm certain that it's real, right, but you can go
out and buy a lab grown diamond that size for
a fraction of the cost. And so like, let's take
it down to like real people stuff, like like you know,
normal income people like us. Okay, why would I even
if I saved up my you know for thirty years,

(01:29:20):
which I basically have by not getting married to anyone,
I could go buy you know, maybe I could go
buy a bigger ring than I could have when I
was twenty something. That's real and expensive, and yes it
has value and yes, you know it could be passed
down and it's worth something and that's what I would
think I would want to do. But why would I

(01:29:41):
do that when somebody else can go and buy a
lab grown diamond for ten percent of the cost that's
bigger than the one I just bought. If we're playing
a size game, you know what I mean? Because I
feel like that's what we're doing. I feel like people
go buy big diamonds because they want people to believe
that they have a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (01:29:56):
Yeah, and I don't think it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:58):
I don't think that says anything anymore. Buy the diamond
because you want to buy.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:30:01):
I just I have a hard time now thinking that
I should go out and spend a gazillion dollars on
any kind of engagement ring, because I feel like somebody,
if if the only purpose is keeping up with the joneses,
which it shouldn't be, you should buy something that has value.
You should buy something that's quality that can be passed
down and you know whatever, If you've got the money, great.

(01:30:23):
But I guess what I mean is that someone else
can go buy a costume basically, and it's not I know,
a lab growing diamond's on costume jewelry, But then they
can go by the thing and it's like, oh, it's bigger.

Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
Yeah, I mean so like I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:30:32):
For me, it's like safety, Like I just wouldn't want
like we saw even if you have security. We saw
what happened to Kim Kardashian and I you know, she
was fonding that big ring that Kanye gave her and
it was dangerous and it's scary. So at what point
do you even feel safe wearing something like that? And
they haven't given us details yet, but this diamond I.

Speaker 2 (01:30:49):
Think could be fake and nobody would know the difference,
you know, I don't know. I just have a hard
time with which is why I think everyone should just
wear a wedding No, I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
I don't know. Maybe this is just me getting out
us ending a whole bunch of money on a ring. Yeah,
let's do what you feels, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:31:03):
By what you can afford, by the quality that you want,
do whatever you want. I just think if the only
reason that we're wearing big, fat rings is to give
the impression that you're more loved or that your guy
has more money than everybody else, I don't think that's
what it means anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:31:18):
Yeah, for me, like what would be sexy as like
home ownership of vacation home maybe whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:31:23):
I'd rather spend that money I elsewhere. But this guy just.

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Confirmed, Cristiando Rinaldo, whatever his name is, he has more
money than me. Wow, it's confirmed a lot of.

Speaker 1 (01:31:31):
Money to give you.

Speaker 4 (01:31:31):
You would like a house or it just I don't know,
Like now I'm more practical. Maybe I used to be
this way. This dude who owns a diamond shop says
that he thinks it's thirty five carrots and that's just
the big one. He also thinks that's flanked by other diamonds.
They haven't released other stats on the ring like themselves,
and so this is just someone guessing. But it ranks
alongside the famous Taylor Burton diamond gifted to Elizabeth Taylor

(01:31:54):
by Richard Burton.

Speaker 1 (01:31:55):
So it's very, very big and really quick.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
I just went to Claries before they close. A butt
one looks just like you could literally it's a righo.
It's going to stay on your finger and you know
it's gonna turn green or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:32:08):
But hey, that's crazy. I love you a lot, a lot,
a lot. It's there on purpose though, like nine years
I don't know, maybe she didn't want to get I
don't know all that.

Speaker 5 (01:32:17):
But nine years she even like raised his son. They
had like five more kids, I think or six. She
my girl deserves that room and she earned it every
year here. That's right, that's a good rule. And we're
running out of time. But yes, Taylor Swift is dropping
a new album. This is for the one Texter who
wanted us to move the topics along.

Speaker 4 (01:32:34):
She's coming out with TS twelve and she is telling
us what it's called the life of a showgirl.

Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
But we don't know when we're getting it, hopefully sooner
rather than what I guessed earlier.

Speaker 4 (01:32:44):
She also will be on the New Heights podcast uh
tomorrow at six or seven, depending on where you are.

Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
And then she was on a podcasts such a nice
Color on You, Yes, I know it's the color of
your Eyes scooty podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:33:01):
Oh, she's gonna a podcast for a swifty You know
you don't love it. You don't love all the hoopla,
do you.

Speaker 6 (01:33:14):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:33:15):
I respect the hell out of Taylor. I like her music.
It's you know, everything she does is going to explode
into gazillions and records and it's just whatever, good podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
Well, it's just the least surprising news. Ever, her soon
to be husband does a big podcast. Her going on
the podcast is the least surprising thing.

Speaker 1 (01:33:34):
Of course she was going to go on the podcast.
You want her to shock you more, just like I
just of course she was. I can't believe it. Can
you can believe it? You knew you were gonna do this.
You're one of the most strategic people on Earth. Of
course you knew this too much. You knew two years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:33:50):
Okay, is there any part of you, Kiki that did
not think she would make an appearance on that podcast?

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
The girl was she announced that blew my wig back.
I couldn't believe it. Our lashes blew off.

Speaker 6 (01:34:01):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
I where are we going to be tomorrow six March
in the New Height. Yes, we're all going to be
watching it, so maybe we'll be there too.

Speaker 1 (01:34:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
And to their credit, they I mean, I don't think
I don't think that all the attention that they got
because Jason's with her, I don't think that hurt anything.
But to their credit, they built that podcast themselves with
their personality.

Speaker 1 (01:34:19):
I think it's a good They do a good job.
Jason's not with her, because that would be weird, Travis,
but I don't. They both on the podcast for sure.
But you said Jason's with her, and I was like, well, I.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
Met Travis, But Jason and Travis to the podcast together,
and they built that on their own and and it's
they're very funny together. They have great chemistry as brothers whatever.
So I give them a lot of credit. It wasn't
like they launched the podcast with her on it and
then rode that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:44):
I mean, that viral clip of him saying I wanted
to give her a friendship bracelet with my number on
it kind of put them on the map.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
But I'm giving them credit.

Speaker 2 (01:34:53):
I'm for waiting a while to do this because I
probably would have pulled this right out, like if I
were if I were didating tail Swift within like four days,
I would have been like, Hey, come on the radio,
would you mind stopping by the friend Show?

Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
Please? Have you ever heard of iHeartRadio? Would you make
a little video about it? Like, you know, come on.

Speaker 2 (01:35:11):
I guess I'm shameless, but I'm just saying good for them,
But it's the least surprising information ever.

Speaker 4 (01:35:18):
Okay, watch party, Okay, we'll be there, all right, take
the that engagement ring. You want to catch up about
anything from this show? Just on the free I heard
radio app.

Speaker 2 (01:35:29):
I have someone tell me recently they wanted to they
want like a whole different thing now, an emerald or
something like if they got married, they would want something
totally different. Oh yeah, why what you can afford, by
the most value you can afford.

Speaker 1 (01:35:42):
It's all good.

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
I just I kind of wonder why we're still buying
these massive rings if we're trying to tell people that.

Speaker 1 (01:35:49):
Were rich right by what your bride would like exactly, and.

Speaker 2 (01:35:54):
Don't buy the bigger thing because you want everyone to
think it's it's just fake.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
It's fake. You are on fire today. I kind of
like it. Your monkey, it's that email ever since you
can get in that email.

Speaker 2 (01:36:04):
Rightly, I'm just free. I feel free. A bunch of
people could be telling me to do a bunch of
stupid stuff right now. I won't even know because I
can't read it. Sorry, a bunch of managers I never
hear from. Ooh, I listen today and I heard this,
look at the ratings.

Speaker 1 (01:36:21):
Oh period, go on, shut up. I don't know how.
I listened for three minutes today and I heard this,
So I counted how many times you said shut it off?
More fread show. Next, The Thread show is on Friend's
Fun Fact Fred fun learn so much.

Speaker 2 (01:36:46):
I believe that what I'm about to tell you is
going to be a problem for people with anxiety.

Speaker 1 (01:36:50):
It's the same way.

Speaker 2 (01:36:51):
It's like, do you ever anyone ever point out to
you I'm about to like triple it up, anyone ever
point out to you, like, do you ever think about blinking?
I mean, you don't think about blinking, But then like,
you don't think about blinking one time. I've thought about
blinking one time in the last ninety days. But now
that you say it, I'm like, I'm thinking about it.
Or do you ever think about breathing?

Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
Yeah, don't do that. It's like, no, I don't think
about it. Now I'm thinking about it. Okay. So here's
the fact.

Speaker 2 (01:37:12):
Your nose is always visible, but your brain ignores your
nose through a process called unconscious selective attention, making it
seem invisible to you. So your nose is like right there,
and I guess your brain and your eyes can see it,
and it would be like very pronounced in your view,
but your brain learns to not see it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
I can see it. That's cross it. Yeah. Someone take
a picture of Kaylen looking at her nose. It's amazing.

You're a big company outlet, My bad. And when many
of us are having this issue, right, but they want
me to call and I've oh, yeah, you become it
when you put a ticket in. Girl, It's like, no,
you work for us, now it's your blog.

Speaker 2 (01:39:17):
So we had a little radio conference last week, and
then since I was in Texas, I went from Austin
to Dallas to see my nieces now. And by the way,
every time I talk about going to Dallas, I'm going
to see my nieces now. My sister lives there as
well my brother in law. They happen to be, you know,
the parents of the nieces. But that's not really why
I'm there, Let's be honest. I'm there to see my nieces,

(01:39:38):
Polly who's four and a half, and Mave, who's I
think two ish.

Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:39:43):
I'm losing track of how old they are. It doesn't matter,
but I hang out with these girls and I'm supervised, right.
I think we're at the point now where I could
be unsupervised with at least Polly, because Polly can use
the bathroom by yourself, and that was kind of the
big barrier.

Speaker 1 (01:39:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
We could have gone in there with her, we could
have figured it out, but like, I don't know, I'm
not I don't know how to do this parenting thing.

Speaker 1 (01:40:04):
How old is she? Probably four and a half? Oh,
she certainly helped wiping though. If it's a number two,
well good for me.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
I guess it's fine. How do you find I would
do it? It doesn't matter. Whatever she needs, whatever she needs,
But I don't. I don't really know what I'm doing.
So it's it's I think they'd probably like, let me
go figure it out, but I don't anyway, So like
we I just when did when do you lose as
a parent? This sense that they're going to break at

(01:40:31):
every turn because like, you know, we went to Target
because they had to get some stuff, and then Polly
wanted one of those little cake pops. So we go
over to the thing and and I'm walking with her
and like I'm holding her hand and she's fine with that,
but then she runs ahead of me and I'm like,
hold on, hold on, and what are you doing?

Speaker 1 (01:40:46):
So I'm Jason, after this, She's nothing going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:40:48):
And then she's you know, looking around all this stuff
at the Starbucks and touching everything, and I'm just like,
I like, I create this like bubble around her, you know,
And then I don't know, when do you? And then
they're in the car and I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:41:00):
Like, are you sure? That builds it in?

Speaker 12 (01:41:02):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:41:02):
Like you sure?

Speaker 2 (01:41:03):
And my brother in law and my sister are like
they're fine, dude, Like everything's fine. When do you lose
this like sense that that you don't have to watch
every single step they make?

Speaker 5 (01:41:12):
I think it's you have that second kid, because I
think if this was just Polly, your brother, your brother
in law, and your sister would not be that chill.

Speaker 2 (01:41:19):
I helicopter over these kids and yes, then they're like
jumping around on the couch. They're disassembling the couch and
turning it into a trampoline. I'm like, Amanda, I don't
is this and she's just chilling and I'm sitting on
the couch, so like, I know that if something happens
to one of these kids, it's I'm gonna get blamed, yep,
because I'm sitting right there even though this is all
happening around me, and they're just I'm like, I don't know,

(01:41:40):
PAULI don't do that, And I don't want to be
the guy that says don't do that. But I know
if she's trips the one time and I'm sitting there,
that's going to be Bubba Broker. They call me Bubba.
So I'm just when do you lose this sense that
they're going to break all the time. It's my question
because I don't I don't know when I'm gonna I
don't know if there's ever gonna be a time where
I'm comfortable being with them where I don't feel like
if any thing happens that I will be excommunicated from

(01:42:02):
the family. You know, but you have a lot of nephews, yes,
I mean, is there ever a point where you take
them out to do stuff and you're like, just let
them go.

Speaker 1 (01:42:14):
They'll be fine. They can go with me when they
can eat hot wings and watch Real Housewives. That's a
good one. Which is what age would you say? Seven?

Speaker 6 (01:42:22):
Ten?

Speaker 1 (01:42:23):
At what ages are the housewives appropriate? But yeah, I
need you to be able to, you know, wipe and
talk in all of that. Okay, so you.

Speaker 2 (01:42:33):
As a as a woman with a maternal instinct with
you know, with all these nephews, nine of them, I
lost counsel. I can understand why even you won't take
them on your own until they're ten. Yeah, pretty much. Okay,
good Now I feel better about this because I've been
a little resistant and even though I want to to
be like, come on, you come with me and we're
gonna go out and have a day, because I don't

(01:42:55):
know what would happen, you can there's.

Speaker 1 (01:42:57):
A lot of angles. I wouldn't know how to deal.
I wouldn't I wouldn't what to do. Yes, I wouldn't
be able to triage. I wouldn't be able to handle it. No,
you know, I wouldn't know what to do, not only
because it's a girl, because it's a kid. I wouldn't
know what to do yep, and so I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:43:11):
But I'm just curious when this sense of like, okay,
everything's gonna be all right and and and the helicoptering ends.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
And for me maybe the answer is never. No, I
can just hear it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:22):
Now, you know, poly skins your knee. What did you
let her do? I don't know, Amanda. She was swinging
off of the couch. I know she climbed the wall
earlier in front of you, and that was okay. She
was on the dining room table previously. But yeah, I
went to this place called the Landing Strip. I wanted

(01:43:43):
to see it, but it's not by the airport. They
loved her there. You should have seen it. Man, she
really took to those two turquoise and and candy or whatever. Okay,
so it's ten years old. Yes, that's the safer safe aid.
But then I'm afraid of like, okay, so ten's fine.
Then we get twelve, thirteen, fourteen. Now we get into

(01:44:05):
some areas where I also don't know what I would
be doing. So that's scary too. So I'm thinking maybe
just twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:44:10):
One, that's the say, not even then, not never.

Speaker 2 (01:44:13):
Well, by by twenty one, everything's under I mean not
under control, not mentally, but like there's some sense of
there's not no night's Bar.
