Speaker 2 (00:34):
When you can.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I guess I'm pretty glad.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
That's sure.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Hello, you said she's.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Scared at me.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm mean, I don't see what she sees from. Maybe
it's because.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Somewhere we not come.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Well, I grew up in a house that was haunted,
and no one told me that, like until the ghost
mess with me.

Speaker 6 (01:11):
It shows brouh, you're never going to with the ghost
like they're real to share our space.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Brid show is what is the you're doing? The fat
seventy five? What is it? The hard seventy five?

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Oh god, seventy five hard?

Speaker 6 (01:24):
Well there's different versions, right, there's soft, medium and hard.

Speaker 5 (01:27):
I discovered this yesterday. Wait what yesterday?

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah? Yeah? Why would I? Why would I do seventy
five to get soft.

Speaker 7 (01:35):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
I would do seventy five to get hard, I guess,
but I wouldn't do seventy five to get I already
am yeah, same, I am soft medium, So I'm not
trying to get soft. I mean the seventy five soft
he's going to culverts every day or something like or
you know wherever eating MC nuggets every day. That's the
seventy five soft exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
And I didn't know that because I got the app.
So I guess you could you like I said hard
or soft, but I guess just means like how intense
do you want.

Speaker 8 (01:58):
This to be?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
So think it was like the outcome of your body? No, no,
I mean it's some hard means that the hard you
would be, like Tiki has more issues with restaurants. And
you know what's interesting is I do too, Okay. And
so it's funny that you you brought this up this
morning because I've noticed something too. It happened to me yesterday.

(02:19):
But you go first, So your latest this isn't this
actually isn't the latest grape You've had this grape before
about going out to you?

Speaker 9 (02:26):
Oh yes, And it happened this weekend again, which like,
we got to do something about this.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Man.

Speaker 9 (02:32):
We have to free our waiters from these long scripts
about whatever we're ordering and the history of the restaurant
and the history of the building and the history of America.
I don't want to hear it. I just want to order,
and I'm not trying. Like, Kaylen, you would be very
proud of me. I sat there, I gave I've made

(02:53):
eye contact for forty five Miraca, little student, Yeah, for
tive minutes while I learned about the history of the cow.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I was about to eat, and I'm just like, why
are you doing this?

Speaker 9 (03:03):
Like I know you don't want to do this, and
I don't want you to do this, so like, why
are we doing this?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
I learned about this on Bar Rescue. John Taffer tell
me about this. The reason they do that is about
perceived value. So like if they sit there and talk
to you about the cow from where the steaks came from,
and they give you like a twenty minute spiel about
how they're the only people in the world and have
access to these magic cows that came from Jupiter, and
they fly down on a space ship that bushets to
you that can't get on and they come down from

(03:29):
space and they're so tender because they've never actually been
in gravity before or whatever. Whatever the story is. It
makes you think that whatever the price is is more worthwhile.
So then when they charge you seventy bucks for a steak,
you're like, well, I mean it's you know, it's Mars Prime.
You know nobody else has that Mars Prime meat or whatever, like.

Speaker 9 (03:47):
I love you, but I don't care. I just want
to eat. And then like she would come back and
she was we would be in a deep conversation with
the people at the table and she was like, you know,
excuse me. Okay, so you wanted the girl, but let
me tell you about the garlic butter. It was turned
by somebody's grandma in nineteen seventy two weeks, hold on
it until you came in here today. And now we

(04:08):
added special girl.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
I don't care, write some garlic butter and the butter
twelve bucks.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's why, see it is.

Speaker 9 (04:15):
It's so, I mean, we got we gotta wrap it up. Man,
word economy, bro please. Well, I went to this restaurant
last night.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I went by myself because I'm I'm traveling and I
went as his restaurant and my friends like, you gotta
go there and Shood at the bar and like order,
you know, the taco's there, and then whatever. So I'm
sitting there. Then he tells me this earlier in the day,
so then I'm like, I'm gonna go. So I went
and I'm eating or Ifood didn't come yet. I got
the beer, I guess, and I took a picture of it.

(04:42):
And then my friend's like, oh, no, wait, you gotta
get the guacamole there too. You gotta get the guacamole.
So I stay at the bartender. I'm like, hey, I
know I just ordered half the menu, but can I
get the guacamole too. My friend says it's good, and
she just kind of stares at me for a second,
and she goes, would you like that spicy extra spicy mild?
And I'm like, I don't know how spicy spicy and

(05:02):
she goes, well, I'm about to make it for you,
so it's whatever you wanted to be. And she wasn't
like mean about it, but you could tell that she
was just sort of I guess it's table side guacamole.
But if you're at the bar, then the bartender has
to make it for you, and they have a little
station behind the thing. But she just kind of looked
at me like really because I mean, again, not rude

(05:22):
or anything, but she's just probably tired of making guacamole.
Plus you got other stuff to do. I did not
realize this was a table side guacamole situation. Those sorts
of things make me uncomfortable. I tend not to order
them because I feel like, you know, like the table
side caesar salad, the guy's gotta come and it's getting
a little tray and the you know, the little cart
and this is the whole thing, and they it's like

(05:43):
the really thing that guy wants to do that you
really think the guy wants to like chop up the
guacamole right in front of, you know, the avocado right
in front of He Probably not. I just figured it
was back in a kitchen somewhere. They'd bring it to me,
and I immediately felt bad. As soon as she started
like chomping away at this thing instead of you know,
mixing drinks or whatever else she had to do, I immediately
felt bad. Now again, I think they can charge you

(06:03):
more because you know, if they do the banana foster,
the flambay or whatever by the table. Then other people
see it, they want it, and then it looks like
it you know, a lot more works, so more effort.
I'm sure they make more tips from it. So there's that.
But I'm I was uncomfortable watching her make like chop
up my avocado right in front of me. It's like,
it's like I can go back there and do it.

(06:23):
It's no problem, you know, they just wouldn't let me.
But here's the thing. This is where I was going
with this. Eight five five, five nine one one three
five you can call in Texas, same number. The guacamole
was fire, Okay, I don't And here's the thing about
fire guacamole too. By the way, there's not really much
to it. I mean I watched her do it. There's avocado,

(06:44):
there's lime, there's tomato, onion, and then jalapeno pepper, and
there may have been like salt and something else. I
don't know. No, no garlic, no garlic. No garlic and
no garlic. No and so I've made that mistake before.
No no garlic can I mine? And so but I'm
looking at this, go why is this so damn good

(07:05):
because you didn't put any kind of crazy krack in
there or anything. I just watched you make it. So
I don't know why I was looking, but I got
to think that this woman in her private life, people
are like make the guacamole, Like, make guacamole. Hey, you
you work at this place, bring over, make the guacamole
and bring it over to the party. Or like when
we did the Beni Hanna thing a few weeks ago
and the guy let me do the the be the

(07:27):
chef thing and let me go back there and do that.
I was like, your friends must always be asking you
to be like the habachi guy at the parties, right,
because that you work at Beni Hanna, they must always
be asking you to do it. And he goes, yeah,
they do, and I tell him no, I'll do it
for other people if they hire me to do it,
but I'm not doing it for my friends. And so
I just I wonder what is the thing whether it's

(07:48):
what you do now or what you did in your past,
but what is the thing that you now know how
to do when everybody wants you to do it because
you do and you're like, uh, you know like if
you're a bar, like, for example, my brother in law
is at bart he was a bartender, and so now
my mom thinks this is the greatest thing ever. And
she has the guy like batch make Margarita's before he

(08:08):
leaves town and put him in big jars and put
him in her refrigerator, like every drink has to be
made by him because he's a professional bartender and he's
really good at He's better at it than the rest
of us are. So like the guy is trying to evolve.
He's a computer programmer now, like I'm a bar that
so much my past. Okay, we don't have to keep
bringing that up. But yet that's all that you know,
everyone wants him to be the bartender because it's like

(08:30):
you know how to do it? Do you guys know
how to do anything that everybody wants you to do
all the time.

Speaker 9 (08:34):
It's like you said it before, your family always expects
you to host like everything, like it's a baby shower,
here's give the mic to Fred, it's a funeral.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Give the mic to Fred.

Speaker 9 (08:44):
It's like I don't want to host this, like I
just want to attend.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
No, that is true. For whatever reason, I have to
give the eulogie and anyone's funeral, anyone's funeral. It's like, hey,
you'll do it. I'm like, what do you mean i'll
do it? They're like, well, you're a public speaker. I'm like, no,
I'm not. I talk to my friend in a microphone
every day, and I guess people listen to it. Not many,
but I guess people listen to it. So why do
I have to go up there? It's a whole different thing,
you know, going up in front of a crowd of people,

(09:09):
especially if you're emotional about it or whatever. Why do
I have to be the one? Like, let somebody else did.
Surely somebody else comanda, you go do it. You're a
therapist who.

Speaker 9 (09:17):
Was hosting the parties before I got in radio, Like
who was at the karaoke party before I became this?

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Because this is very stressful, Yes, Jason, I mean I
feel like you do this to yourself. But you become
the organizer and the party planner for everything, Like you
basically were Paulina's wedding planner and you didn't you didn't
have that role, but you decided it on or either
I don't know, I don't know if you got kind
of encouraged into it or whatever. But you became the
wedding planner. You were the one ushering us all around

(09:46):
Las Vegas.

Speaker 10 (09:47):
Yeah, and I totally do that to myself because I
can't be anywhere and have people do things for me,
like I immediately feel uncomfortable to where I need to
like stand up and help. Like that's a personal flaw
that I'm working at life. No one asked me to
do that. I just assume the position. Okay, so the
table's like walk. The only thing would have been a
real problem for you then, because it's like oh yeah,
oh yeah, no, no, no, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I felt bad as susim. Oh you have to do it,
like I don't want it anymore. She's like, no, no, no,
it's okay, it's okay. I felt bad though. Let's talk
to Julie. Only click on Julie. Wait. I think I
just tried to call Julie.

Speaker 11 (10:21):
How I'm good for you, guys.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Julie, good morning. So you are a nurse. I can
only imagine if you're a nurse or a doctor what
that means.

Speaker 11 (10:30):
Oh lord, well, you know, I try not to tell
people when i'm out and about that I'm a nurse,
or even if I go to the doctor, I don't
tell him I'm a nurse because I just don't want
people to know. It's not that I'm ashamed or anything.
But the next thing, you know, they're like, hey, can
you look at this rash? Or can you look at
this I don't have this condition that, And you're like,

(10:53):
oh Jesus Lord, I am not here to look at
your body, you know, really uncomfortable, and it's like, how
do you say no? You know, because it's what you do.
But right it's the same pome. We're not doctors. We're
not here to diagnose or for you or anything. So
that's exhausting.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Oh I'm sure all my doctor friends hate meek. I
did the same thing because I'm paranoid and I have issues.
So if there's anything weird going on, I immediately have
to get an answer. And I can promise you that
WebMD is not the answer I was looking for. It's
usually that I'm dying or we're dead. Usually I'm dead.
If I look at WebMD, I already died and didn't
know it because of a little bump on my knee

(11:33):
or whatever. But so then I have to send pictures
to my dermatologists. Friend. I mean, she must hate this
because it's like I'm not working right now. Bro, Like,
you go to your doctor or make an appointment and
pay me, you.

Speaker 11 (11:44):
Know, exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Yeah, what's the strangest thing someone's asked you to look at.

Speaker 11 (11:52):
An abscess on their anal area?

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Oh no, No, I'm not that good of a friend
with anybody. No, I'll drive you, not in Mike, if
you have an absence on your butt, it won't be
in my car. We'll drive yours. But like, we'll go
and I'll take you there. Julie, thank you, have a
great day. I'm glad you called. Oh Cody, Cody, Cody,
good morning, Good morning. Cody is a massage therapist. So

(12:18):
everybody wants you to fix everything, right, Yes, for sure? Okay,
So what they get a kink in their neck or
the back hurts or whatever, and they're like, Cody, can
you figure in that? You're like, yeah, I can, you
can come and you can pay you know, whatever I charge.
And but I'm sure you don't do that to people, right, Yeah,
And it's usually always right when you get off of work,

(12:39):
they're always asking, oh, okay, can you come over after worker,
which I've been doing this all day. I'm all set
with that, right, Yeah. I did it for thirteen years,
eight nine hours a day. It's like, yeah, I don't
want to do it anymore. Okay, but can you make
table sie guacamole? I'm curious. I cannot. Okay, all right,

Speaker 12 (13:14):
I am a former hairstylist slash makeup artist from back
in the day, back in the nineties, you know the
Stone Ages, well.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Way back and then oh wow, whoa yes, the twentieth
century work a hot hone. Oh okay. So everybody wants
you to do their hair.

Speaker 13 (13:36):
Everybody wants me to do their hair. So whenever there's
get togethers, I've done funerals. I've also done make up
for my mom that just still passed away and also
my sister.

Speaker 12 (13:48):
So I've done like funeral makeup. Oh my makeup artists.
But yeah, I literally but you know, those that are
living asked me for free to hey, art my opera, Sue,
do you have like a race throw on you or
do you? I'm like, I don't carry like razors like
on me, but can you arch my eyebrow? Can you
like do my hair?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
So yeah, by the way, funeral makeup, that's a that's
a big ass. Yeah. I mean it might be one thing.
It might be one thing for if you're like my
aunt or something, or you know we're related and I'm like, hey,
can you do can you do my wife's my fiance
or if it's me, can you do my makeup for
the wedding or whatever? But to then, hey, my peapod

Speaker 14 (14:31):
It is.

Speaker 13 (14:31):
But it was for my my relatives.

Speaker 12 (14:33):
It was for my mom and my sister, so you know,

how they look when they were living, so you have
to do their makeup.

Speaker 9 (14:41):

for a minute, but I made it through.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
So yeah, Well, good for you, Good for you, Thank you, Sue,
have a good day. Thank you you, Sue glad you called.
Have you seen this is another TikTok thing? Who watches
TikTok more? Apparently I do, because I've seen a bunch
of stuff that even Kiki hasn't, and she watches twenty
three point six hours a day. It's this very thing
where someone fakes they're like in the room with their mom,

(15:06):
or they're in the room with their husband or dad
or whatever, and they fake a phone call and it's
basically like, oh yeah, oh really, you're caterer backed out?
Oh oh I love those videos. Oh well, mama, Mama
will do it for you. And then Mama's sitting there going, wait,
what did you just sign me up for? And it's
like you need oh you need meals for fifty people
for you? Oh yeah, mama, mam will do that for

(15:28):
you, you know, bring the platters over right now. And Mama's
sitting there going I will not do that, Like who
is that? You know? Or they'll do it to their husband.
It'll be like a Saturday morning and it will be like, oh,
you need you need someone with a ladder? Oh yeah,
Tim will do that, and Tim's looking at her like, no,
I won't, you know, it's like people getting signed up
for stuff they don't want to do.

Speaker 9 (15:45):
I love those videos. I actually wanted to do that
to you. I hate that you saw them.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
What were you gonna make me do? I don't know.

Speaker 9 (15:51):
Just say like, yeah, friend will come, he'll come with me, Yeah, yeah,
we'll be there.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's going on.

Speaker 15 (15:57):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Nobody would believe you. Nobody would everyone know. He won't
know you.

Speaker 9 (16:01):
But you would have been like, oh my god, I'm
not going, and then.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
I would have disappeared into the witness protection programs. He
would never have found me.

Speaker 13 (16:08):
So.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
A married man recently sparked debate after turning to Reddit
with the dilemma. He says always been upfront with his wife.
He doesn't buy into this bro code thing suggests that
men should keep secrets from each other. So one day,
his longtime friend of twenty five years approached him with
a private confession in mind, but the man immediately made
his stance clear. If it shared with him, it's also

(16:29):
shared with his wife that honestly didn't sit well with
his friend or their mutual circle. The friend felt betrayed,
rallied others, and now most of their shared friends are
siding against the guy. Now it doesn't it doesn't say
here what the secret was. And again this is this
is someone who paraphrased that the Reddit post, or if

(16:52):
he told him that ahead of time or after the fact, like, hey,
thanks for telling me that you're cheating on your wife.
I'm going to tell my wife just so you know,
I'd like to believe that. If if that's your deal,
then it's like, hey, man, I got to tell you
something that you'd be like, hey, just so you know,
Like my wife is considered part of me now and
so if you tell me, I'm going to tell her,

(17:12):
So just be aware of that before. Let's just assume
that's what it was that he did give his friend
the heads up? Is that fair? And in your relationship?
Is that what you assume? I want to know from
you guys? Of course you can call it text eight
five five five one three five. If I tell you
guys something, and we're friends, and I know all of
your partners but except for Big Tim, I've never met

(17:33):
the gay, but I know all of your partners. So
if I tell you guys something, should I just assume
that it's going to your partner? Is that fair to
assume or do I have to tell you. I don't
want you to tell that person. Like are my friends
telling their wives everything I tell them?

Speaker 5 (17:47):
It depends on what you tell me.

Speaker 16 (17:48):
If it's like something health related or something you're going
through like mental health, physical health, and I'm not repeating
that that's not for me to share, Okay.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
But if I'm cheating on someone, you're gonna run home
until Shane that's hot tea.

Speaker 16 (18:02):
Yes, yeah, I mean probably yeah, I mean because you're
messing up already, So why do I have to keep
that secret?

Speaker 15 (18:10):
Right?

Speaker 5 (18:10):
I probably don't want you to cheat?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
See, but this comes back to like for me, when
you get in a fight with your partner and then
you go tell your friend. You know, most people are
telling their side of the story. Most people are not
telling an objective perspective. Most people want their friend to
side with them. Most of your friends will side with
you sometimes maybe if you tell them the actual story,
they might point out something that you could have done differently.

(18:33):
But then the problem is you you know, an hour
or two, or a day or a week later, you
make up with that person or it's over, and then
your friend holds onto the memory of the last story
you told them, and that could potentially affect the way
they look at your partner. And so I feel the
same way about you know, Like I've had a friend
who's going through kind of a tough thing and he's
a family friend and we know all parties involved, and

(18:53):
so I'm not sharing with like my mom and dad
the full extent of what I know, because what happens
if everything is resolved and then it's like they don't
they're not getting constant updates, they're not fully immersed in
this situation. And then let's just say, are they just
supposed to forget because they probably favor one side more

(19:14):
than the other. And if they're only getting information from
one side, and this is a family friend who's gonna
come around and blah blah blah, then you know it's
unfair because to the other person because they're only getting
one side of the story. So like, I don't want
my family to think differently about anybody because they are
only getting some information, right, So I don't really share
anywhere near as much as I know because I don't

(19:34):
want this person to be in that situation. And I
feel like that's what happens when you share a story
secondhand with someone else in your life, you know what
I mean. It's like what you're saying, you're giving them
the information and then you're trusting them to forget and
move on. But they may hold on to that and
then they have bad feelings about someone forever. Like let's say, okay,

(19:54):
let's say my I'm in a relationship, which that in
itself would be hysterical, right, that would be why and
uh and Jason's cheating on Mike, which would never happen,
but uh, and I tell her that and then and then,
but there's more of the story, or there's a whole
lot more context, or I've known you for fifteen years
so I know that the relationship can be up and down,
or I'm just making all this up and then you

(20:15):
guys resolve it. But my friend over here doesn't have
my girlfriend hypothetical, doesn't have all that context, doesn't know
the ins and outs, doesn't see you every day, so
all she knows is you cheated and now you're back
in the relationship again, Like that might affect the way
she thinks about you.

Speaker 10 (20:29):
And that's not fair to you. No, no, it's not.
And that's why I'm very selective of what I tell
Mike because I can't hold the grudge, like to save
my life, like anyone can do whatever to me, I
get mad, I get over it, whatever.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
I get mad at you for that. Like Jason hold
a grudge. He is the complete opposite.

Speaker 10 (20:45):
Like if I tell him anything negative or someone did
something especially to me or to someone that he cares about,
he will hold on to that and remember that for forever.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
And so I'm like, okay, we're good. I have to
be very selective.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Share Sam, good morning.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Hi Sam. So you tell your husband everything, no matter
what one percent?

Speaker 7 (21:07):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Is that fair?

Speaker 4 (21:09):
You know?

Speaker 17 (21:10):
To me?

Speaker 14 (21:11):
Like, my partner is my partner through thick and thin,
and I tell him everything, and even if he doesn't
agree with me, like that's why he's there. So we
can kind of be soundboards off of each other, and
so you know, it kind of keeps me balanced. But
at the same time, like I like sometimes I want
advice or sometimes I you know, we just want to

(21:32):
talk about stuff. So it's one hundred percent like I
trust him, he trusts me. And if we say don't
tell anybody else and we don't, and then that's it.

Speaker 5 (21:41):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Like when you're in a relationship that you're kind of
supposed to be one unit, and so you should be
able to bounce anything off of that person. I guess
Emily detects it. You're losing me. I guess all I'm
saying is, if there's one person and one person and
you're sharing this information with other people and they're not
seeing all perspectives, that I don't think it's fair for
you to be sharing information because they're only going to

(22:03):
sort of side with the side that you're telling them.
You know what I mean, Like, unless I have all
the information that I don't think I should be sharing
because I don't want you to hold on to long term,
you know things, because I only told you a little bit.
You know what I'm saying. Absolutely, Yeah, you're tainting that.
You're tainting that you're peeing in the water. You're peeing
in the pool.

Speaker 14 (22:24):
Everybody peace in the pool, Fred, Come on, whether you
say it or not, everybody peace in.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
The pool, all right? See will he's gonna.

Speaker 18 (22:30):
Say you will three sides to the story.

Speaker 1 (22:33):
A large body of water maybe, but not a pool.
Thank you, Sam, have a good day, have a good one.
And I'm thoughtful enough to go downstream when I do
it too. For the record, Yeah, very thoughtful. M Kelsey,
Hi Kelsey, Hi, Hi, Hi, how are you hey? So
what do you think this? Do you think that you
should tell your partner absolutely everything that you learn about
other people?

Speaker 18 (22:54):
I'm not sure whether you should or not. I mean,
I think that's something personal.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
The only real thing that.

Speaker 18 (22:59):
I had to say. Still, Like, if you hear something
about someone and it's not something that someone told you directly,
then that can cause major issues. I think that anything
that you hear that you want to share with just
about anybody, you should probably validate before you start sharing it,

(23:20):
because a lot of people get into arguments with people
or something like that, and then they start making up
stuff and then once your partner hears that, it's like
oh what, Yeah, you know. I just think it's really
especially as far as cheating and stuff go, they think
that it's really important to, you know, verify the information
before you start telling anyone.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
Yeah. I also think you have to keep your your
circle really small when it comes to relationship arguments and
stuff because again, like you're likely to be telling your
side of the story and the person's likely to react
in favor of the story you just told them, not
only because they love you, they're going to try and
see the good in you, but they're going to listen
to the story you just told that probably is devoid
of all the details about and so then you're getting

(24:01):
that now you're being enabled by this advice. But then
the real story is maybe somewhere more towards the middle.
So then you then you find resolution, you get back
with that person, and now your friend is over here going,
I can't believe you took that jack a back, but
they didn't know the whole thing.

Speaker 18 (24:17):
Yeah, I can fully agree. I've always said that there's
your story and then there's the other person's story, and
then somewhere in between is the truth. And I don't
think that you ever because emotions are involved in regardless
of what you're telling someone basically all the time. So
there's always and you know what, I don't hang out
at somebody else's house. You know, I don't know their relationship,

(24:39):
and as I shouldn't, so, especially like you're saying, with
relationships as things like that, it's really important to understand
that exactly what you said, there are there's definitely three.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Sides of the story.

Speaker 18 (24:51):
There's one person's side, the other person's side, and then
there's the truth. And sometimes, you know, I think most
of the time, you don't need to know the truth.
I don't need to that intimate with people in their
personal relationships because I'm kind of in the situation with
my daughter because herr HU get along. I get along
with both of them, obviously obviously her. But you know,

(25:12):
the thing about it is is I don't really think
that maybe their relationship is super.

Speaker 12 (25:18):
Great for her.

Speaker 18 (25:19):
However, you know, I'm not in their house after dark.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Because that's the problem. Right, So, like your daughter comes
and tells you, Hey, you know, so and so did
this to me, and you're like, wow, that sucks. And
then they go get married and you're like, wait a minute,
but I thought he did this to you, you know?
But but again, like how did that start? What are
the details? I need to know all the infra? And
you you hold onto this as her mother, right, even
though you should be a trusted source. But but now

(25:43):
you have to hang on to that as they move
forward and they get over it, and you may not. Hey, Kelsey,
I got to go have a good day.

Speaker 11 (25:49):
Okay, have a good day.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I'm glad you called. Hey, Rachel, Right, you tell your
husband everything, no matter what.

Speaker 12 (25:57):
Always he tells me everything.

Speaker 17 (25:58):
I tell him everything most of the time. It's like
they said before, to get you know, an opinion of
Hey am I handling this writer?

Speaker 12 (26:05):
Hey?

Speaker 17 (26:05):
What do you think about this? I had a friend
tell him that the best thing he did for his
marriage was to cheat on his wife.

Speaker 12 (26:12):
So of course he of.

Speaker 17 (26:13):
Course he told me that, and you know, did they.

Speaker 4 (26:16):
Be friends after that?

Speaker 19 (26:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (26:18):
But was there you know, certain things we might not
do with him or stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yes, that's what I mean. So Okay, So your husband's
friend cheats on his wife, right and tells you this,
You're like, wow, okay, why don't I like cheating? And
that makes me think differently in him? But okay, fine,
whatever he did it. And then your husband's like, hey,
I'm gonna go out with so and so tonight. Is
there no part of you that's like, I realize you
trust your husband, but like this guy, this guy, this

(26:45):
dude has you know, lose loose definition of what a
marriage is. And I don't know. And while my husband
is trustworthy and a good person, like I don't know,
I don't necessarily want to hang it out with that person.
That being said, if you trust your husband, you know
that he wouldn't cheat on you, and he never gives
you this information, then you have no reason to suspect anything.
So everyone's fine.

Speaker 17 (27:08):
So the way my husband is though he also, you know,
didn't appreciate the comment. So if we hung out, it
was mostly as like couples.

Speaker 19 (27:15):
Instead of just one on one.

Speaker 17 (27:18):
It was okay, let's go. They you know, they stay together,
so let's go you and me and we'll go to dinner.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
That's so uncomfortable. Now, now you're at dinner. Now you're
sitting there eating your soup, and you know all the
details that you didn't need to know because they've moved forward.
And if he hadn't told you, then you wouldn't have
to suffer through that meal knowing that this dude was
out here with fluosy, you know. And that's I don't know, Rachel,
I'm not sure about this. Thank you have a good day.

(27:44):
I don't know. I don't know that you need to
know everything? Do you tell Big Tim everything? I'm big
Tim and listening to me. I'm going to talk to y'all.

Speaker 9 (27:52):
But I always think that people tell you tell your
friends something. They're telling two people that they trust. So
when I tell you something, I expect you to tell
Mama for it and get therapists.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Do you know what I say? I just know what's
going to them too. You know what? You think I'm
over here an executive coach and talking about you. Yes,
I go to my executive coach each week. You think
I'm sure talking about you.

Speaker 9 (28:13):
Jason's going to tell Caitlin and probably, you know, like
that to happen.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Well maybe, I mean, it's probably fair to assume.

Speaker 10 (28:23):
But funny, there's always a kiky segment in his executive coaching.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
And we sit down there, an executive coach, and she
didn't We sit down in the first like, what what'd
she do? What did she tell you? First week? The
first fifteen minutes, we have to dissect what you did?
Forty thousand music fans they asked. Research has found that
younger people explore a wide range of music genres and artists. However,
as they transition into adulthood and beyond, their music choice
is narrow, often influenced by nostalgia and personal experiences. Older

(28:51):
listeners tend to revisit songs from their youth while also
engaging with new music, leading to a more individualized taste.
The shift poses challenge just from music recommendation services, which
may need to tailor suggestions to different age groups to
better relign there evolving preferences. Get emotional about that?

Speaker 5 (29:09):
Can who's not a music fan? Like they asked forty
thousand music fans. He was like, no, I'm good. I
don't like music, like what?

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, there were a lot of people who's walk right by.
I don't like that. Yeah, I'm familiar with it. But
do you feel like eight five, five, five, nine one
one oh three five you can call it text the
same number. I mean, I look, we've been talking about
this for years and years in and I do believe
that nostalgia plays such a huge role in certain phases
in life. People remember songs and attach themselves to songs,

(29:38):
and I would imagine a lot of people's favorite songs
are from certain like your favorite song key, if you
had to name one that's not Omaron.

Speaker 9 (29:45):
Okay, Currently, I've been writing to work every day listening
to Nelly e.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
I okay, so that song probably reminds you of high school? Yeah, yeah, okay,
so you and that reminds me of college. I can
remember where I was when I heard that song. I
can remember where it was when the radio station that
where my first job when we played that song.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
So, yeah, what is it for you, Kaitlin? I bet
it's high school or college?

Speaker 16 (30:10):
The first thing that came to mind, like a song
I'll always love I'm Sprung by tea Pain.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
See, that'd be high school.

Speaker 5 (30:15):
Yeah, yep, yeah, yeah, I.

Speaker 10 (30:16):
Mean behind these Haye lies Kelly Clarkson, Yeah, back every
single time I hear it.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Also high school yep, Paulina, Honestly, luck if you buck.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
Well, I was gonna say when I'm listening to write
so on not give you buck I kind of been
listening to like the freestyle stuff again, like I bring
it up every once in a while.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
Kaylen gets in my car, sh'll hear it, like.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
This TVB stuff like like Diamond Girl because that's super
de sect. Yes, I mean I had no business dancing
or listening to any of that when I was like
six or seventy eight, but.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
I love it. Okay, it's like nineties. It was like nineties,
Like yeah, I guess late eighties. Yeah, nineties okay, but
a lot of it's from when you were young. But
how many times would you say, as a grown up
you say this is my favorite song, like the one
you just heard today at thirty five, and he goes,
this is my favorite. I don't feel like anybody says that.

Speaker 5 (31:04):
I say favorite right now. I feel like I went like.

Speaker 10 (31:06):
Temporary yeah, and then I always go back right behind
these hazel eyes, always fears.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Yeah yah, seemed like yes, so good.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
I feel like in mind were from Europe when I
was growing up, like really young, when I fell in
love with this stupid business. But like the songs I
listened to when I was obsessed over you know, radio
and listening to the radio in yeah, late eighties, I
guess it was when I was really little. Those are
the songs that I resonate, or the songs that my
mom played in the house a lot, which were all
pop songs because we grew up listening to that. I also,

(31:35):
I also contend a lot of your music taste is
based in what you're introduced to by your parents, because
I know, you know people that are my age who
love motown like I love motown. Okay, A lot of
people don't even know what that is because their parents ever,
you know whatever, and it was it was thirty years
past my prime, right or prime past my birth. I
know a lot of people that like Zeppelin, and you

(31:57):
know that's sort of like seventies sixty seventies, like rock.
Never listen to any of that. Growing up, people love
the Beatles because their parents obsessed over the Beatles.

Speaker 16 (32:06):
And now you don't, like you, I don't understand the Beatles.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
You with it, you'd either probably be nauseated by it,
or you'd love it because your grandparents played it for
you or or whatever.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
Yeah, I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Jazz music. I like jazz music because I necessarily like
jazz music because my grandfather that was always what he played,
because he was a jazz musician. So like, I guess
I just think that those things are rooted in you
by like if your parents love country music, like I
bet you love. You know, country music is a thing
pretty ricky grind with me. Somebody said, oh, did you
perform that song recently?

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Right?

Speaker 8 (32:39):
Me?

Speaker 1 (32:40):
Even though it's with me? Oh right, yeah, I listened
to oh the goofy movie sound draps.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Oh yes, remember we did that?

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah? Which it's who is? It's Tevin Campbell? Which I
didn't know for the longest time. My favorite to this
day is deer Agony by Breaking Benjamin. So that's what
two thousand? Yeah, yeah, but I would imagine that person's
like twenty or twenty five thirty something like that, because again,
if you were like really immersed in two thousands of music,

(33:09):
and I'm sure there are exceptions, but I have a
really hard time believing anyone listening is My favorite song
is that Sabrina Carbenter man Eater's song you know what, Manchild,
whatever it is man that's standing for title. That's my
favorite song because man Eater, you know. But yeah, So
do you think though that over time you have because
you would think the older you get, the more songs

(33:31):
you're exposed to, the more songs you might like. But
it turns out you wind up just weeding them all
down to fewer songs, which is kind of interesting. Yeah, Summertime, DJJZ,
Jeff and the Fresh Prince High School right, so nineties.
My parents listened to Bruce Springsteen exclusively during my childhood.
I'm now a thirty one year old, still in my
EMO phase. I don't know what that says about me.

(33:53):
I get that, Yeah, party like a rock star shop
was Wow, these are funny songs.

Speaker 12 (33:58):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
To me, these are fun to say that your favorite,
But if you grew up in that era, then I
say your favorite.

Speaker 5 (34:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
So I mean that's why I love he's got hit.
I got a lot of hits.

Speaker 20 (34:09):
Yes more Fred Show next right here.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
FM, Chicago's number one in music station. It's the Fred
Show and our final holiday wish of the season with
Amy with the right and one eight hundred truck Creck.
Good morning, Amy. Hey, Hey, this is it.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
This is the last one.

Speaker 15 (34:28):
This is disappointing.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
This is it. We've spent like twenty five thousand dollars
of your money in four days, but this one. Look,
they've been very emotional, and you know, unfortunately, we've had
some folks that are dealing with you know, illness and
homelessness and people who need help, you know, with with
equipment for their business and and uh, I mean there
was the one earlier in the week with the daughter
and her dad that I think really touched a lot

(34:49):
of people. And this one is I think this is
this is going to put a smile on people's faces,
especially Katie and and Hector. Good morning Katie and Hector.
How are you?

Speaker 12 (34:59):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (35:00):
How are you friend doing great? Hector? What's up with you?

Speaker 13 (35:02):
Man?

Speaker 12 (35:03):
He good?

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Hello, Hey, you know what we're doing. You know what
we're doing? Right, friend from just a phone press, that's
the same guy. Are their other friends with a friend?
It's not Fred Flintstone. How are you, dude? But more
importantly than forget about me, I'm a nobody, Amy wither Right. Yeah, Hector,

(35:24):
you're a waiting you're a waiting mother phone. No, you're
not my friend, my friend Amy wither Right this year
from one one hundred truck Greg. And that's the most
important part of this call. Say good morning to Amy.

Speaker 15 (35:34):
Good morning, Amy.

Speaker 11 (35:36):
Hey, Hey, hey, Hector and Katie.

Speaker 12 (35:38):
This is going to be a great call. I'm excited
about your story.

Speaker 14 (35:41):
And to close the loop on uh you all get
married five years ago.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
This is gonna be fun, Hector. You're gonna like how
this ends up, I think. But so we got a
note from Katie. Katie, can I share at least part
of this note for sure? So it says, dear Fred
showing Amy this year, my holiday wish is to finally
give my husband the honeymoon that we never had. The
chance to take. When we got married, our wedding plans
were changed because of the twenty twenty pandemic. Many of
our family and friends were unable to celebrate with us

(36:07):
at our wedding. Travel was challenging and we knew that
the experience would not be the same during a shutdown.
We promise each other that we would take our honeymoon
trip on our five year anniversary, our way of reclaiming
something special that was taken from us. But our anniversary
has already passed, and the truth is we still aren't
sure if we'll ever be able to make the trip happen.
Life has been full since our wedding. You have two

(36:29):
amazing kids, Nora and Salvador, three and one. They bring
joy to our days and keep us busy from morning tonight. Financially,
the season of life is challenging as well. We're doing
our best to save for our children's futures, especially their education,
so putting aside money for a big trip feels out
of reach at times. Still, our dream vacation has been

(36:49):
to travel to Mexico. Hector's parents are both from Mexico,
and he has long hoped to visit his grandparents and
reconnect with a place that holds so much of his
family's history. This Christmas, more than anything, I wish for
the chance to take that long awaited trip with my husband,
the honeymoon that we missed, the adventure we postponed, and
the time together that we've been hoping for. And then

(37:10):
you included some nice things about the Fred Show, which
is very helpful. I will say to getting us on
the phone, but we gotta we gotta hook him up.

Speaker 8 (37:19):
Yeah we do, Yeah, we do, so, Hector. Where's your
family from in Mexico?

Speaker 15 (37:24):
Both of my parents are from the.

Speaker 21 (37:25):
State of Okay, So it's the biggest tourist town to Jalisco.

Speaker 15 (37:30):
Yeah, in Haalisco, they're the two biggest areas.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Yes, So where do you want to go though, Because
here's the thing, Like I want you to see your
grandparents and your family, but like that's not quite the honeymoon. Vize. Yeah,
I can't. I can't have you doing some stuff in
Abuelo's guest room, you know what I'm saying. Like it's
a honeymoon, so you know, we need to mix family
in a little bit of fun. So where would you
like to go? That would be like sort of more
honeymoon esque.

Speaker 15 (37:53):
Oh my gosh, oh wow, I guess this is this
is surprising. So I don't know there's canon, there'sa there's Cabo,
I mean in all types of different parts of Mexico.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Obo.

Speaker 8 (38:05):
Well, there's there's no doubt about that. And I've been
to all those places.

Speaker 11 (38:08):
I just got back from Cabo.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
So why don't.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
You you think really hard about where.

Speaker 12 (38:14):
You and Katie want to go celebrate your honeymoon. And
I'll just do my job what I do best. So

I swear you touch you, but like oh I at
their house, you will be at my at my like
discretion description of course, I hope, so it would always
know what's fun in the day.

Speaker 1 (39:49):
Sometimes sometimes I touch myself. I didn't, I never mind. Yeah,
I told you to ask for permission first you yes,
hand you know. Sometimes I sneak attack on myself, so
it feels a little bit more. Organic's ever been left
waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Shell. Hey Carly, Hey,

loud and clear, clear morning morning to Carly, what's going

I guess why don't you tell us how you met,
about any dates you've been on and then where things
are now or yeah.

Speaker 19 (40:27):
I don't know, man.

Speaker 8 (40:28):
It was such It was interesting because.

Speaker 22 (40:30):
We met on a dating app, and you know how
those are, like sometimes just you get some randos. But
I met this guy Chris and the super hot and
he suggested that we go on a weekend trip for
our first day.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Really, and I just, yeah, isn't that wild?

Speaker 1 (40:47):
That's kind of a bold. So you meet a guy
in a dating app and he's like, let's go out
of town immediately. I mean, that's that's how Dately episodes
started ends.

Speaker 8 (40:55):
But yeah, that's how you end up dead.

Speaker 1 (40:58):
But you were like, okay, you know, oh, I was.

Speaker 22 (41:00):
Like, he's super hot, and I thought, you know what,
I'm just going to take the risk, and I thought
the worst that could happen is we meet at the airport.

Speaker 8 (41:08):
He's not who he said he.

Speaker 19 (41:09):
Was, and I leave.

Speaker 22 (41:12):
And the wild thing is he ended up being totally
who he said he was, and you know, he had
he had like.

Speaker 8 (41:20):
Hot friends on must Pro Kyle.

Speaker 22 (41:22):
He looked like he did some things, and we ended
up going to New Orleans. We had a great weekend.
He was a gentleman, he paid for everything. We had
a great time. And then at the end of the
trip we hugged at the airport and I never heard
from him again.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Really, this dude took you to New Orleans and you're
saying that the trip went well and then he never
called you after the trip Like that is that's a
wild story. I mean you met at random standard and
went on a trip. I will tell you this though, Carly.
When I'm first dating someone, if I think it's going
to go somewhere, which just doesn't happen very often, but
if I think it's going somewhere, I do kind of

(42:00):
rush the trip effort. Now, not like on the first date,
but you know, within like the first month or two,
because I think you can tell a lot about somebody
about how they travel and how you travel together. And
you know, are they the people that show up after
the flight already left?

Speaker 12 (42:14):
People?

Speaker 1 (42:15):
You know what I mean? Like how much do they pack?
You know, do they have a TSA pre check or not.
It's a huge deal for Yeah.

Speaker 8 (42:22):
Well, now I'm wondering.

Speaker 22 (42:24):
I agree, but now I am thinking, maybe there's a
reason we do that after a month or two and
not you've ever met.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
But okay, so I get it totally. Yeah, you go
on a trip with this man and you think it
went well, and then he never calls you again, and
you're like, what what on earth? So we're gonna call
this guy Chris. We're going to ask these questions on
your behalf and try and figure this out. And the hope,
of course, as always, is that we can straighten this out.
Maybe there's some good reason why he hasn't called you,
and and maybe you guys can go out again. We're

(42:51):
not paying for a trip, we don't have that kind
of money, but we'll pay for a tabe locally and
you should go on that if we can work it out.
Sound good? Try Hey, Carly, all right, I always call
this guy Chris. You met on the dating apps, and
you just described to us something that I really haven't
heard maybe ever in waiting by the phone. But you

(43:12):
never met the guy. You just messaged with him. You
thought the profile looked good. He asked you if you
wanted to go to New Orleans and you said sure,
and you met the guy at the airport and you
went on a trip for the weekend and you say
it went really well, and he was and he says
he was and the trip was a success. Accept Carly,
you told us a minute ago. You haven't heard from
him since then, you got.

Speaker 8 (43:33):
Is exactly right?

Speaker 22 (43:34):
The airport.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yeah, this is wild. Well, let's call Chris. He we
can get him on the phone figure out why he's
ghosting you. Now, all right, good luck, thank you? Hello?
Hi is this Chris Chris Hi, good morning. My name
is Friend. I'm calling from the Fred Show, the morning
radio show. I have to tell you the whole crew

(43:57):
is here. We are on the radio, and I would
need your permission to continue with the call. Can which
halter for just a second? Would you mind? Do you
have to do you?

Speaker 4 (44:05):
I mean, do you have to use my last name?

Speaker 1 (44:07):
No, I'm not going to use your last name. I
don't even know your last name. I'm only using your
first name. Sure, so that's fine, that's yeah, you're sure? Okay, Well,
i'd so no last name, just Chris. But I'm calling
on behalf of a woman named Carly, who I guess
you just went to New Orleans with you met her
on the dating nap and he went to New Orleans.
Do you remember this?

Speaker 4 (44:26):
I hope I do remember that.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Yeah, Okay, Well, she reached out to us, had nice
things to say about you, said that, you know, she
took a risk in meeting you with the airport and
going to New Orleans, and she came back alive, which
is nice. But she said you were good looking, You
were who you said you were. She said you were
a gentleman on the trip, paid for everything. But what
she's wondering is why you haven't reached out for another date,
because in her opinion, everything went really well. That was

(44:51):
kind of a big risk and everybody went for it,
and here we are. Why are you calling her? I mean.

Speaker 4 (44:58):
It's like this, Okay, I like to go big, you
know obviously. I mean it's not very common for somebody
to ask somebody to go on a day in New Orleans.
That is that is a big thing. And she said yes.
And for me, when somebody says that, that means something,
you know. So like, yeah, what I saw at the airport,
everything was lined up. She was hot, just like you know,

(45:18):
just like I expected. She was willing to take a risk,
which is attractive, and everything looked like it was going
to be a great weekend, so I was. But she
I mean, let me just lay it out here. She
didn't want to stay in the same hotel room as me,
which is I mean, that's pretty common knowledge that that

(45:39):
is like part of the deal of something like this.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Well, what do you hold on a second, Let's stop
right there. So when did you learn that she wasn't
going to stay in the same hotel room as you?

Speaker 13 (45:48):
Like?

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Was that part of the Hey, I'll go with you
on this trip? But here are the rules? Like did
you guys text about that ahead of time or how
did you know that that's what she wanted?

Speaker 4 (45:56):
So when we got to the hotel is when.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
I found out.

Speaker 4 (45:59):
And it's fine, you know, I'm like, like, you know,
I'm willing to pay for everything. But I mean, number one,
it was inconvenient. I found out right when I'm getting
to the hotel. You know, I could have you've gotten
that information. I mean, it would have screwed up the
whole thing from the get go, but I mean it
still would have been better to get that information early.
But yeah, right when we get to the hotel, I
find out, and you know, we kind of went back
and forth on it and be compromised.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
That is what I would say.

Speaker 4 (46:22):
We got like two beds in the same room, which
is weird, you know, And she didn't show any affection,
you know, because I I flew her, I paid for everything,
you know, and I just nothing happened, like there was
no reciprocal action at all.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Okay, So you know, I mean, so you did, there
was nothing physical. You didn't You didn't have any adult
interaction of the naked prt uh is what you're saying.
And you're and you so and and you suggested that
if you had no that she wouldn't sleep in the
same bed or room as you. You kind of alluded
to how maybe this trip wouldn't have even happened if

(47:06):
you had known from the beginning. M hm, yes, okay,
we agree with that. We agree with that. So so basically,
because you paid for everything and she agreed to go
that it was implied that there was supposed to be
other things that happened like that was just implied but
never said that. Well, there's I forgot to mention Carly's here.
I'm very forgetful, Carly, Chris you guys know each other.

(47:28):
But I want to get to this part. So I
just want to be clear. I don't want to mischaracterize here.
You you said, hey, let's go on a trip. I'll
pay for everything. But it wasn't It had conditions, they
were just unspoken.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
In my opinion, it's common knowledge. That is a common
knowledge thing that you know. Otherwise I would have just
taken my buddy. It's common knowledge.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
You go, you okay, So back to you, Carly. It's knowledge, right,
I mean you heard the man. Uh no way, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
There's nothing we've just met.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
We go on a trip.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
There's no set recedent for that.

Speaker 19 (48:12):
I look on a neuraland date.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
You have some drinks, you needed a bar, you can
make it.

Speaker 22 (48:17):
We literally get on a plane, we go straight to
the hotel and I'm going after some sort of contingency here.

Speaker 2 (48:25):
And they didn't talk about it.

Speaker 22 (48:27):
You sort of made a very boss minute choice, like
they're what. We didn't talk particulation. They just said we're
gonna feel it out.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
I mean that's what you say. Listen, if you didn't
want to get you know, intimate, you shouldn't have agreed
to the trip. Like it's I would.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
I would never you didn't.

Speaker 8 (48:46):
You didn't.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
You didn't toxture me on a trip. You didn't say anything.

Speaker 22 (48:49):
You made it sound like you were.

Speaker 8 (48:51):
Totally having a good a good time, Like I wasn't
even aware that you were.

Speaker 19 (48:56):
Upset until I didn't hear from you.

Speaker 22 (48:58):
You didn't say anything either, Nobody. I can promise you
that nobody said.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
It's like you want a free car, and you went
to the lot and you didn't leave a car, Like
it didn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Who got a freakia? What happened? Look, here's the thing.
She owes you nothing, Chris. Let's just be really clear.
She doesn't owe you code whether they travel or not.

Speaker 6 (49:23):
Though, like even if it was their hometown, nobody owes
you nothing.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Nobody owes you anything now now here, I will say
this a code I don't know. I will say this
though I suppose that it might have been a good
thing to maybe set out some ground rules before we go.
You know what I mean? Because I will say if
I'm if I'm staying in a hotel room with a stranger,
I guess I in some ways in my mind, I

(49:50):
think there's a possibility we're just throwing all the rules
out the window. We're really just going for it here. Honestly,
I don't think that's an unfair thing to consider that
being said, she didn't you anything. This was not an
this is not a this is not a you're not
buying things so that she does other things. That's there's
a there's a name for that. It's the world's oldest profession,

(50:10):
and and and that's something that happens to other places.
But I don't know that. Maybe there couldn't have been
some kind of conversation from one side or the other, like, hey,
I will accept this trip for and this is just
an example. I will accept this trip. I'm excited to go.
I just want you to know, you know, nothing is
happening here, like we're going to get to know each

(50:31):
other and have a good time. I don't want there
to be any expectations. And maybe I'll get my own
hotel room, just so we're clear about that. Because guess what, Chris,
it sounds like you would have said no, I don't
want to go anymore, and then we would have, you know,
exactly where everybody stood exactly. No, I'm not I'm not
I'm not defending you. I'm just trying to say that

(50:53):
I understand why it might have been valuable to discuss
these kind of things before we go on trip with strangers.
But she doesn't owe you anything, man, She owes you nothing.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
You know. In my mind, like I said, there's an
unspoken code and she broke it, and it just you know,
I didn't put any pressure on her. The pressure. I
didn't put any pressure. She agreed to go. So there
is that code and it is what is expected, and
I was missing. I feel like I was misled.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I don't think you were misled. I think he took
a chance, and I think it didn't work, and I
think she has every right to not do anything with
you and and you, guys, it appears that you had
a good time anyway, So why are we blowing it down.
It sounds like maybe if you go on another date,
like things could have happened. But now I don't know, Carly,
what do you think you want to go out with
him again? We'll pay for.

Speaker 8 (51:40):
It, I mean definitely not now.

Speaker 19 (51:43):
But that's all that said before was no rules, So
in my mind that means you go and you see
and I feel.

Speaker 22 (51:54):
Like you're right, Like he didn't indicate so for me.
The fact that he asked is like he has making
a good time and this is what he was thinking.
Is really that's the part that you know makes me
very turned off.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
So this is a blatant example of me being used?

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Is what this is?

Speaker 7 (52:13):
You?

Speaker 9 (52:16):
Yeah, I would use you to You don't even know
her name, You don't know her favorite color, You don't
light like you.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
I mean, she knows I don't know her favorite color, right,
she she knows if I fly first class or coach.
You know, she knows a lot about Maies.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
New Orleans.

Speaker 5 (52:38):
And I don't blame city girls are okay?

Speaker 1 (52:40):
You use sung thing and I respect the move. I
see what you were doing. It didn't work. She doesn't
know that to you. You don't have a right to
be angry about it. Now, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (52:51):
I'm not angry.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
I'm not angry.

Speaker 4 (52:53):
I'm not angry. I'm I'm disappointed and I feel used,
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Just not really.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
And you said that a first date is the first date.

Speaker 22 (53:03):
And if you were like you may not come on
this trip unless you give me sets, you should have
said that.

Speaker 8 (53:08):
You didn't say it.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Right, I agree, I didn't.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
You don't have to say it. You don't have to
say it if.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
You read the you know what I'm saying. You know
what's ever read the fine front of the ticket, but
it says it right there. You have to look a
little more carefully, says Chris.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
Uh, it's implied. We flew, we flew to a different
city together.

Speaker 18 (53:27):
We didn't go to the first date.

Speaker 8 (53:31):
You didn't present yourself that way.

Speaker 11 (53:33):
You never said anything, and to me.

Speaker 22 (53:36):
Even implied that. That's like, there are dates that are
very clearly we're gonna go on this date and there's
no expectations we're going to get to know each other.
And there's other dates where you know, if you show
up to that date, the guy is interested in one thing,
and you show up to those dates knowing that that's
the only thing on his mind.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
And you were very much the.

Speaker 4 (53:53):
First that's every date. That's every date.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
You just that's every date, and you're just morn okay.
Because here's the thing. If Chris had been like, hey,
so we're getting it on, well, then I suppose that
that makes it very clear. But then you know, he
didn't do that because he knows that runs the risk
of her not going. And then she could have been like, hey,
I'm not by just for the record, but nothing's happening.
That also could have shut things down. I mean, so yeah,

(54:18):
I guess there could have been a very unromantic conversation
about ground rules to begin, or there just could have
been you know, common human decency, which did happen. But
all the while he's mad about it, and now he
won't go out with her again. I think that's the
risk you take. But look, she doesn't want to go
out with you again. Chris, I'm not. I don't think
you were used. You took a shot, it didn't work.

(54:38):
I wish you the best, card I wish you the
best as well than it is The freend Show. Good morning.
Thanks for having us on the radio, on the iHeart
app live and anytime search for The Freend Show on demand. Okay,
so here's our morality Monday, and this is from our
friends that reddit. Am I the a whole eight five, five,
five nine, one one oh three five. You can context
the same number. My wife, who's twenty nine and I,

(55:00):
he's a thirty one year old male, have a three
year old son. I think some people can relate to this.
I work ten to twelve hour days as a contractor
while she stays home. Lately, she's been venting online and
too friends, saying that she feels like a single mom
because I'm never around. This is from the perspective of
the I'm the guy who works all the time. I
get that she's overwhelmed. I am too, but I'm working

(55:22):
my butt off to keep us afloat. The other night,
I heard her refer to herself as a solo parent
during a zoom call with her mom. After she hung up,
I told her that I didn't appreciate that. I'm not partying,
I'm not neglecting our family. I'm working. She said I'm
being defensive and that she feels like a single mom
because she handles everything alone at home. Now I feel guilty.

(55:45):
I don't want to invalidate her, but I also feel
like she's ignoring everything I do. Am I the a
hole for calling her out? I mean, she's not a
single mom. No, And if it requires ten to twelve
hours a day of this man working to to provide
their lifestyle, then it sounds like they're both doing jobs right.
He's doing his job to make money. She's doing her job,

(56:07):
which is a job to raise the kids. But I
hear this argument sometimes when one person's at home and
the other person's at work, and that's a decision that
was made within the relationship that this is how we're
going to do this. And I hear this sometimes like oh,
it must be nice, and I think you can. I
don't know. I don't think one side always sees the
other side, you know, cause it's like my buddies that

(56:28):
travel live pilot buddies. Right, they're gone for you know,
a week at a time. They've always been this for
thirty years, right, It's been this way forever, and then
they come back and it's like it must have been
nice to be and you know, Dubai for a week,
it must have been nice. I was out here making
lunches and driving a soccer practice and it's like, well,
first of all, you know, maybe maybe it was nice
in some regards, but in other regards, like this is

(56:50):
my life. I got, I got aluminum, platinum, diamond gold.
You know, I'm the biggest badass status at Hilton because
I don't sleep in my house. Like anytime you see
somebody who'd like they when they check in, someone hands
them a bottle of champagne and like kisses their feet.
At first, I'm like, Wow, they're going to get a
really nice room. And then I'm like, in order to

(57:10):
get that, they don't ever get to go home, right, So,
so my buddies I talk about this all the time.
He's like, you know, I would much try to be
here with my family. I would much try to be
here on my terms. But I'm here because the boss
needs to be here. And if the boss calls me
right now, it says we're leaving, we're leaving, which means
I'm not at the bar. You know, I'm not partying,
I'm not on a I'm not riding a camel, you know,

(57:31):
or whatever. Like this is not my vacation. This is work,
and I don't get to choose when or where or
how or any of it. And so yeah, I guess
I'd get to sleep in a hotel bed and sleep
in sometimes and eat room service. But at the same time,
maybe I would rather be driving to soccer practice. And
then on the flip side, you know, you've got the
people going, you know, on the side of the person

(57:52):
who's doing all that, it's like, well, maybe i'd like
the night out sometimes or the night away, or maybe
I'd like the exposure to adults. Yes, you know, I'd
like to be able to go to I would like
to go to work for eight ten hours a day.
And you know, I know people who in this case,
it's the man who goes to work and the wife
keeps a part time job, and it actually costs them

(58:13):
money for her to go to work as a flight attendant.
I've used this example before. But they do it anyway
because like for him to stay home, he makes three
times what she does as a pilot, so for her
to go to work costs money, But they do it
anyway because for her, it's like, this is my independence,
this is my job, this is part of my identity.
I want to go on a trip, I want to
hang out with adults. I want to make a little

(58:33):
bit of money.

Speaker 5 (58:34):
He's cool for that, right, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
But I just I think that this sort of argument
fundamentally is based on one side not seeing the other,
or one side wanting some elements that the others. I
think everybody wants a little bit of the other thing.
But I'm just curious for those of you who deal
with this. If one person is primarily raising kids and
one person is primarily working do you really think you
could say that? Is that a fair thing to say

(58:58):
out loud? Because it makes it solo parent, kind of
implies that the other parent isn't involved or doesn't care.
It's like deadbeat. It's giving deadbeat. It is, but it's
the exact opposite.

Speaker 16 (59:08):
Also, like if you feel that way, it's it's not
the time to get it out on a zoom call
when it can just be overheard by your partner. And
what's sad is I think it takes both people to
make the raising the children work.

Speaker 5 (59:20):
It does, you know? And comparison is the thief of joy.

Speaker 1 (59:23):
So yeah, I just I And if I heard I
hear if this is me and I heard my wife
saying this to her mom, that's even worse because it's
like you're telling your mom that I'm basically about dad.

Speaker 13 (59:33):
True.

Speaker 1 (59:34):
You know, I don't like dead el is it l
or Ellie? This l thing?

Speaker 19 (59:38):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (59:40):
How you doing? So this scenario, it's like you've got
the dad working twelve hours a day. In this case,
you've got the mom at home and the mom feels
like she's a single parent, and the dad's like, hey,
at first he was upset, Now he feels guilty, but
I don't necessarily think that's a fair thing to say about.

Speaker 23 (59:54):
Him, not at all as a truly solo parent.

Speaker 11 (59:58):
This makes me so angry.

Speaker 23 (01:00:01):
I'm actually shaking, because she's still like, she's not had
to work, she's not worried about the bills herself. She's
getting support in some way, shape or form, even though
he might not be present. So it's just not something
that you can just say like that, because she's just
not even realizing the impact she's getting from having that

(01:00:21):
man in her life.

Speaker 1 (01:00:22):
Yeah, I think that would trigger me too, because what
about the people who are in fact solo parents and
it all falls on them. They have to somehow figure
out a way to pay for the you know, pay
pay the bills and the mortgage and the rats and
the food and carry at soccer practice and figure out
the logistics of the rest of that. I mean, and
I'm not minimizing one or the other, but for you,
you have to figure out both.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
Yeah, and not to min in lided either, because she still.

Speaker 23 (01:00:46):
Has to step up in ways that maybe she didn't
anticipate when they originally decided to have a child. But
I mean, I remember when I just had a three
month old and I couldn't even just go to the bathroom.
I couldn't just go down the street and get a coffee.
Like there's just so much you don't realize thattually happens
when you are a truly solo parent.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Yeah, yeah, thank you so much.

Speaker 11 (01:01:05):
Definitely the ale in this one.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Okay, A fair enough. I'll let her know. Thanks, thank you.
Will guys love your show, Thank you, love you too. Y.

Speaker 6 (01:01:13):
I mean it's a good point that you've made though, too,
where it's like you look at one side look at
the other side right like you got it better.

Speaker 5 (01:01:19):
I know you got it better, but I think.

Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
It's also like for my personal experience, from my experience,
I feel like I'm looking at it that what does
his husband do when he comes home? Is he playing
video games? Is he disassociating from his family. I know
that the ten to twelve hour shifts are long, and
they're lengthy and hard, but I feel like they can
at least come home right, play with the kids, make dinner,
like help out, because I think then that would take

(01:01:40):
less off of the mom who is home all day
with the kids.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
You know you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Okay, So there's a question. I don't know the answer.
I'm asking like an open ended question, But is it
fair for someone who worked ten hours a day to
then come home and take an hour to decompress?

Speaker 17 (01:01:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:01:54):
Because because what I think. I think sometimes it's it's like, yeah, you, yes,
you were at home with the kids all day, but
then am I expected I don't know the answer, but
am I expected to just after my ten hour day
walk in and then just take over the parenting role
and then you get a break? I don't know the
answer to that, but like I think, sometimes there's not
a respect for what the other one's doing. It's like

(01:02:15):
I just went to work. I just sat in traffic
for an hour, right, Yeah, I just had spit up
on me all day and watched Miss Rachel for the
thirty seven times. Sounds like me, you know what I mean.
So it's like, I don't know, I've heard that one
before where that guy comes home he sortaedy, he wants
to go to bed. And it's not that I don't
know that he's a bad guy or a bad girl
or whatever, but like you're only capable of so much.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
Yeah, communicate. I think you had a community with a partner,
how are you feeling this moment? Hey, I just walked
in the house like give me, you know, thirty minutes
and then I think, just so you got to work
it out.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
It's hard, but you got to balance it some way.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Melissa. Yeah, Melissa, good morning, welcome. What do you think so?

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
I think the bad here is a for not pie hole.
She just needs to reorganize her thinking to be able
to include him or incorporate him with more parental responsibilities.
Like you said, they're both performing a job here. His
is the financial income.

Speaker 8 (01:03:09):
The financial stability, the security there. She is providing the
parenting here, whether she wants it or not. If that's
something that she kind of and formally agreed to that
that's just the way it is. If she's not reporting
somewhere to go to and provide the same way he does,
then she's not the solo parent here. She's just they're

(01:03:30):
just providing different job aspects of the family part the
being at home, that being the parent like the absent
or the present parent. She's just the main go to
right now for him physically, but the dad is definitely
there to provide for them.

Speaker 1 (01:03:46):
Yeah, Melissa, thank you, have a good day. Absolutely, I
feel like sometimes people would switch roles even like I know,
I'll tell you what you think. It's you think it's
so great, you know, doing this, and the other that
you think it's so great you're going to work and
dealing with these idiots, Like how about I stay home
and I'll take care of my kids? Because you know,
I think the other thing that's sort of negated here
is like maybe he loves I'm sure he loves his

(01:04:07):
kids too, and I'm sure he would rather be at
soccer practice or being the coach or going to the
games or feeding the kids or whatever. I'm sure there's
bonding time that he's missing. So it probably has moments
where it's like, Okay, cool kids crying, I gotta go
to work, by you deal with it. But then I'm
sure it also has moments where it's like, man, I
can't believe I'm missing that. But if he were there,
then who is making the money to pay the bills?

(01:04:29):
In this case, you know you can you could flip
it and it could be the other way around. It's
like the grass is always greener. I feel like Ashley
hi O in this scenario, if you're just tuning in,
there's a woman and this is from the male perspective,
But he heard his wife saying that she is a

(01:04:51):
solo parent because he works ten to twelve hours a
day and she's telling people this, like her mom and friends,
and he's offended, and then he sort of vacillates on Well,
so I feel bad for saying something to her or not,
But this is the agreement that we came up with.
I work in a traditional setting. I pay the bills
and you take care of the kids. That doesn't make
you a solo parent. What do you think?

Speaker 21 (01:05:12):
No, she is absolutely wrong saying that she's a solo parent.
Parent I think is just really hurtful. I have a
two year old and a baby on the way in
three weeks, and my husband has a traveling job and
his travel is sporadic. He can up and go and
I only have a week or a couple of weeks notice,
and sometimes he's gone, you know what seems like half

(01:05:35):
a month, and sometimes it's us. By no means am
I a solo parent at all. It is very hard,
especially with two small kids. But we had a conversation,
and I knew his work before we made these decisions,
and we have to continue to have conversation about hey,

(01:05:57):
is do we need to make a change? And I
know job changes and things like that, they're not easy
at all, but is it do I need to go
part time? Do we want does he want to be
home more? Do we need to make a change there?
Or do we need to make a lifestyle change, you know,
with you know home or otherwise? And those are big

(01:06:19):
changes and really tough decisions. But if it's bothering her
that much, it's definitely a conversation because she's not a
solo parent at all. I will say that like, oh
I'm I'm I'm solo this week. My husband's gone and
we have a village that helps me out. So it's
just you got to talk about options. There was ways

(01:06:41):
to work things out. I'm with her, it's not easy,
especially with two kids being super pregnant, but by no
means am I solo mom? And that's really hurtful to
say about her husband.

Speaker 1 (01:06:56):
Yeah, yeah, especially but us thank you for sharing reratulations
by the way on the new one in a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 21 (01:07:03):
Making more listeners.

Speaker 17 (01:07:05):
You got to.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Get you know, in my understanding is as soon as
that baby's born, he said, boy or a girl, girl,
this time. Apparently Jessica listener number eleven is moving to
like Microneese or something and like in the jungle there.
I don't know if there's a jungle there, but my
understanding is some form of jungle and there's no internet.
So we lost her. So the baby just so it'll
never be more than thirteen. So don't even try and

(01:07:26):
get greedy. Okay, okay, So I'm gonna start.

Speaker 21 (01:07:30):
We'll let you guys start the whole NAT leave.

Speaker 1 (01:07:32):
I like it. Thanks, you have a good day, Ashley.

Speaker 15 (01:07:35):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
We keep adding cities and we only have the same
number of listeners. Hey, Linda, good morning, Linda. Hi doing great,
Thanks for calling, Thanks for listening. So I'm gonna give
you the final say here. And someone brought up military
families too, by the way, which I mean there's one.
It's like people gone for you know, Shelley's husband gone
for two three months at a time, longer years at

(01:07:56):
a time, sometimes depending on what's going on. And does
that make that person any less of a parent? I
would I would argue, no, they're they're they're doing what
they got to do. What do you think, right, well,
I think.

Speaker 24 (01:08:07):
The hardest part of this this whole argument is that
the role of motherhood is always somehow less stressful than
going to work for twelve hours.

Speaker 7 (01:08:21):
My ex husband was an air traffic bro one of
the most stressful jobs in the world, as.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
You might know.

Speaker 7 (01:08:27):
And you know, I'm at home with two kids under two,
and all I want to do is take a shower.

Speaker 1 (01:08:32):
That's all I want to do is take a shower.

Speaker 7 (01:08:34):
And so, you know, he comes home from work, and yeah,
he wants to unwind, and yeah, you know, he's not
really interested in two screaming, you know, two year olds.
But at the same time, I need you to acknowledge
that my job is as important as yours and I
just need to take a shower. And so there was
always that, there was always that argument of who's is

(01:08:57):
more important, and they both are, they both are important.

Speaker 24 (01:09:01):
But for me, I felt.

Speaker 7 (01:09:03):
That as a mother, a stay at home mother, my
job was made less important because of the importance of
his job in the world. And and so I was
just like, you know, can I have five minutes him
He's like, well, you know, I've been busy all day
and you know, my brain you can't even think.

Speaker 5 (01:09:20):
And I'm like, I understand.

Speaker 7 (01:09:21):
That, and He's like, well, you've been home all day,
you know, as if that's a vacation. So I think
in the world in general, we need to give mothers
credit for how hard it is to be a mom
full time, and it is just as important, and it
is just as taxing at times, especially with two hundred two.

Speaker 1 (01:09:40):
I agree. I agree, but you know, I hey, in
his defense, he's been dealing with you know, screaming pilots
all day that are just the same as baby.

Speaker 7 (01:09:49):
The story is audible hair.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Yeah, right, pilots are just annoying his baby. It's the
same thing, Linda, thank you, have a good day.

Speaker 20 (01:09:59):
More Bread Show Next, The Fread Show is on Fread's
Fun Fact.

Speaker 9 (01:10:06):
Bread Fun.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Learn so much guys, did you know this? Blew my mind?
It blew my mind. Bananas are berries. Strawberries are not berries. Yeah,
botanically speaking, And that's the that's the only way I
talk is Botanically, bananas qualify as berries while strawberries do not.

(01:10:38):
It's all about how the fruit forms from the flower.
So bananas are considered a berry, but a strawberry is
not a berry.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
But how do you open your bananas?

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
I open it the way that you're supposed to, which
is the stem and you crack the steam and peel
it down. I don't care what a monkey does. This
is That's not what I do.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
So here, get up, I got more thread show next.

Speaker 18 (01:11:06):
Never have I ever called my sister from the finish
line of my first marathon.

Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
Hello, you won't
