Speaker 1 (00:07):
Wait, wait, Kiki, there's a thing that if you cook
with certain oil seasoning, apparently it can kill your bird.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Because you kill the damn ban is because of you.
The frend show is, so.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I, as a pilot, you have to go and you
have to have a medical exam every two years. When
you're under forty, it's every three and it depends. There
are three classes. I only need the third class. I
don't need the first class, which is what the commercial
pilots have. You go every six months. I only need
the one. So if you're under forty, it's every three years.
If you're over forty, it's every two years. So now

(00:50):
I gotta go. And so you got to log into
its website and fill out all your information and then
you send that code to the you know, the designated
doctor who does these and then you show up. But
you only do this every two or three years, right,
So last night I go to log into the website
so I can fill out my little health updates, which
is nothing, and I realized I don't know the password,

(01:13):
and for some reason, my phone didn't memorize it. I guess, right,
So then you go to forgot password and it's like
no problem, just answer three questions about yourself that you
already filled out. Am I the only one that puts
like clever answers in there?

Speaker 2 (01:26):
You then can't remember me. So last night, all.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Night, I just sat there trying to put in different
combinations because there the questions are I should know the answer,
like what is your birthday?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
And I'm like, woll how.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
But the problem is a lot of these things, it
matters the format you put it in, like and it
matters if it was capitalized a lowercase the answer that
you gave. So then it's like, I don't know, asking
me some other question about something else, and I'm like, well,
I know the answer, but is that what I put
or did I put something close to it? Because one
time I had an ex who would like use that
information to go in and reset your password. She did

(02:03):
this one time, like over the course of a couple
of weeks, she would ask questions like just random questions,
and she knew what my password questions were, and then
she went in and like logged and changed it. Luckily
I got an alert about it, so I changed it.
I didn't know it was her, but then later she
had told me that she had done this to a
previous exit. I'm like, oh, well, then yess what you
did to me? You went to and by the way, girl,
it ain't gonna be in a Gmail. I'll tell you that.

(02:25):
So you go ahead, a bunch of receipts in there,
a bunch of spam. You want the real goods? You
want that Apple password, that's if you want the real goods.
So yeah, so I can't get in, and now I'm
gonna have to call the FAA and explain to them
that I don't know the answers to my own questions
because I again, like if it's I don't know the
city I was born in, there's a big city in
a suburb. I can't remember if I put big city

(02:46):
or suburb. And then I can't remember if I put
capital or lowercase. And then like my birthday, did I
put it in with like dashes or did I put
it in.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
With like that accurate? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Wow, Yeah you've never had that happen. Oh yeah, like
I've had somebody the bank once told me, like, put
everything in a lower case every time, no punctuation, nothing
like every single time. Just make that a rule in
your head, because he's password questions. Oftentimes you have to
get the answer right exactly the way that you typed
it in the first time.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, yep. And I can't remember my own trickery.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
This is why I can't pay my toes exactly, I
can't get into website.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Well, I'm gonna call these people today and be like, wait,
you don't know where you were born. I'm like, I do,
I don't know what I put. Why did you put
something other than that? I'm like, well, because it's one time, Yeah,
try and trick me. And he's the Friend Show Good
Morning on the radio and the iHeart app as well.
Search for the Friend Show on demand west Loop Tom
I'm keym empty hamper as well. You can't let Jim

(03:44):
close sit around.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Well, he has OCD too.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
I remember one time I posted a picture of my
freezer and everything was facing one way and there's like
one thing that wasn't and that really bothered bothered.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
So I think he has OCD a little bit too.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Hmm.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
It's the thing is you got to you got to
enjoy the little things in life. You gotta savor the
little things in life. That's what I've learned. That's my
advice of the day. That's my thing, you know, like
like the empty hamper, the empty dishwasher, the first sip
of coffee, sleeping in. When you go to a hotel,
splurge on room service. I know it's expensive, but do

(04:22):
it anyway, because when else is someone going to bring
you eggs with a little dome over the top of
it on a tray. You never have never had room service.
You're never had room service you of all people. Yeah,
it's expensive, so is eating at a restaurant.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
But I don't as much as room Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I'm saying, if you're paying for the hotel, then splurge
on some room service. Why not went out again? When
else is someone going to bring you?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
First of all, I'm trying to find the cheapest deal now,
said I go for the early breakfast.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm up at six, get that waffle in the machine.
Then I've had room service. Well there you go. I
don't I don't know, find yourself a sureman. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
The room service I've had is like Kaitlin eating out,
eating someone else's eating someone else's.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
We know you haven't had that room service untouched. We
talked to your wife about it. Oh, I'm not eating
off the floor. Eating someone else's left over outside the
room A wave.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
I was I was calling back to an interview with
his wife. That's fine, I say, an interview. And it's
funny because when people when I say stuff like that,
people are like, oh, you're so bougie. You're so I'm like, well,
I am a little bougie. And I also, I also
don't have anyone else take care of it myself, you know,
so I mean whatever, you know, I'll admit it. I
don't have to put a kid through college and I'm

(05:53):
aware of or anything like that. So yeah, but I'm
also saying to you that when you stay in a
hotel they have room service, I recommend you it is
worth it. Sometimes sometimes it's not, but and then sometimes
you gotta check. Sometimes, like on a one credit card,
I booked less time went to hotel was included. They
don't tell you that, but I knew that it was included,
and it was included for two people, and you bet

(06:14):
you bet I ordered.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
I was just me. You bet I ordered for two people?

Speaker 4 (06:19):
Yeah, you got it.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
And it was funny, guys. They did this hotel for
a week and they kept wheeling it in after like
three days. Was the same guy, And he's like, so,
where's the second because they set up the table. There
was a little table, and they like they set it
up and they put play settings on each side, and
and the guy's like, so when is the other person arriving?
And I'm like, you know what, she's always out running
this time, you know, but when she gets back she
did not say that I did. I had a whole

(06:41):
narrative for this fake person that didn't exist because I
was embarrassed about the quantity of food.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
That I were you trying to dad an early morning runner,
like even in your.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
No, because that was the reason she wasn't in the
hotel room every time that he came by with French
toast that was four feet tall. Oh you know what,
she's an eater, that one. But I came up with
a whole narrative about where this imaginary person was because
I was embarrassed at the quantity of food I'd ordered
home to don't do that at all, Like the foods.
If they come with like two bags food for just me,

(07:11):
I'll be like, get.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
That kids, right ach food.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
You know.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I hope you don't talk to you, Oh yeah I do. Yeah,
I scream like that too.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
Cat.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Now, yeah, I have problems, but I knew it was
two people included, so I ordered enough for two.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
That's a Rufeo move. You would do that, Oh, yeah,
for sure, that would be there'd be no shame, be like, no,
where's the other person? You're looking at it? You got
it kept?

Speaker 8 (07:41):
Yeah, here's a tip. Oh, don't do roof serversue if
you didn't tab kidding, of course I would tip them.

Speaker 9 (07:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
Sure.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
The other thing I've learned about Rufio is if we're
all out together and I leave and I leave, is
I got to take care of the tab.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I gotta tip.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
I do everything before I leave, because otherwise everyone is
gonna walk out and then I and it looks like
I didn't tip anybody.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's what it looks like. That's what I learned about Rufio.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
That or if I leave him in the I can't
leave in the club, otherwise you'll pass out at the
table and get kicked out.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
That did happen. Both stories are true in the same night.
All of that in one night.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
I had to track down this poor bottle girl at
her house in like Milwaukee or something and send her
a check for the tip.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Don't ever not let Fred into the club or you'll
lose your job. Right because of Rufio. That was the
same night too.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
I'm over you're going it's oh that's I'm not dread
you guess somebody FIREDO.

Speaker 10 (08:43):
Wait, Kaylen, you let the two of them go out alone.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
This long time ago.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yes, I will tell an abbreviated version of the story
because everyone's heard the story and so I'm sorry if
you have to hear it for the fifth time or whatever.
But as you know, I only have like ten stories.
I tell him over and over. Rufio and Jess and
I went out after a wedding. We were inebriated. We
decided to go to a club, which you knew I
was inebriated if I wanted to go to a club.

(09:10):
So I texted owner of said club and I said, hey, man,
don't need anything special, but can I can I get in?
Because I knew it was gonna be a long line
and it was it was it was There was already
a line, and I'm like, can we do some here?
Like yeah, I know, I was flexing. It was fine,
and I know the guy and we've done stuff for him.

(09:31):
So now it's time to do stuff for me, Like
it's fine, that's how this works. And he goes, yeah youah,
no problem. Come to the front and tell them that
you're there, or ask for this guy and tell them
that you're there for me. Like okay. So we walk
up to the thing and we I'm trying to remember
okay yeah, and they're like yeah, we got to the
to the to the rope and I'm like, hey, here's

(09:52):
the deal and they're like, not tonight, buddy, whatever, Like
what do you mean. I'm like all right, you know,
I'm not a mega scene. I'm like okay, all right.
So then we walk down the street and have another
drink and then I get a call from the only
where are you right? Like well, we came and the
guy said no, and he's like I'm sorry, Like yeah,
the guy said not tonight whatever. He's like, uh, okay,

(10:14):
well come back. I'm like all right, So I come
back and at this point it's the manager of the club,
a couple of them, and he's got all the guys
lined up. There's a big line all the way down
the block. He's got the he's got all the door
guys lined up, and he says, tell me, which one
said that to you? And these guys are all twice
my size, right, and so Rufio and just just are

(10:35):
standing it behind me, and I'm like, hey, you know what,
it's not a problem, Like we're just gonna we can
just go in now.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
And then all of a sudden, he goes, he goes,
we got you, Fred, like, just let us know who
it is. You could sit at my table like everything's
for free. And I was just like, you're over friend,
why right? And he goes, You're fired? What right in
front of me? I fired the guy?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
How bad would you feel.

Speaker 10 (11:02):
I would feel.

Speaker 11 (11:03):
I didn't do it.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't want it.

Speaker 10 (11:05):
This guy did any It was this dude was just
had a second to listen to fread.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, And I wasn't. I wasn't blessing, but I'm sure
many people who talked to him.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
It wasn't being like a jerk or anything. You're just
trying to call him like, hey, you know, uh, this
dude sent me the text.

Speaker 12 (11:21):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
The owner is like, I have the text. I'm looking
for this guy. He's like, not tonight, my dude, We're
not doing this tonight. And I was like and then
friends was like okay, and then we had.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
A bad day or something, and in fairness, the next
day I did try and like talk the guy back
into a job.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
So I don't know what. I don't know what wound
up happening. I mean because I feel bad.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
But then, as someone who has dealt with really bad
security in Chicago nightclubs, I feel like, let him be
a lesson because you you just don't treat people bad.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
It was the thing.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
The owner of this club is like, I don't care
if it's you who are I owned the place and
I asked you to come. I don't care if it's
you or somebody like, we can't be treating people this way,
like you got to hear the customers out, even if
it's annoying. And I'm like, yeah, but I don't know.
I don't want to be responsible, and I wasn't. Well,
you're not, Yeah, Kevin, Kevin did this guy I'll never forget.

(12:12):
He jumps over my shoulder and with a big finger.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
It was that guy.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm like, this dude is twice my size, which means
he's three times Rufo's side. Right, he never caught out
with you. Another thing is all the guys were looking
at me like don't you do it? And they were
looking at me like and I wasn't gonna. I'm like,
I'm like, you know what, it is not a problem.
Maybe I misunderstood it was that one.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
And then to continue the story, we ended up at
the table we were drinking. Fred leaves, I'm still there.
I passed out at said bar at the table passed.

Speaker 13 (12:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
We were drinking all night.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
We went, came for the wedding weed like, I get
escorted out and they're like everything's taken care of, Like
it's all taking care of.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
And but that was when Fred was leaving. He's like,
it's all taken care of.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
And then so the next day he finds out out
that no one left the tip for this girl and
she lived not in Chicago, she lived out of state
and she would drive in on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
So Fred sent her check.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
You never go out with him again if I were right,
because that's what I.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Said to him.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I go, guys, all you got to do is tip.
That's all you got to do. Like you guys, enjoy
the rest of the night. I go, all you got
to do is tip?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
You said that, right, Yeah, But but it wasn't just
it wasn't just me in front of this table. There
was a bunch of people. But I didn't even know
I go.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
I was only there for like a half an hour
because I was traumatized by the yeah, you know, end
of the man's career that I didn't beat you with
care and so I was sort of outside.

Speaker 10 (13:38):
I got my friend.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's another thing. Yeah, I didn't want none of that smoke.
I didn't want that smoke. It wasn't worth it to me.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
What people will do now you are crazy.

Speaker 10 (13:48):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (13:48):
But I was kind of this is a long time ago,
it's like ten years. Oh yeah, But I was kind
of dating one of the girls that works there, and uh.
And so I saw her the next day and I'm like,
did those guys tip? And She's like, I wasn't gonna
tell you, but no, And I'm like okay. So then
I'm like, where is this girl? Like, well, she lives
in I don't know, somewhere in Wisconsin. I'm like, and
she drives in. I'm like, okay, I'm like, give me

(14:10):
your number.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
So I called her.

Speaker 3 (14:11):
I'm like, hey, like, what's your address? She gave it
to me and I this is before I think this
is even before Venmo. This was before yeah, yeah, And
so I'm like, why can't we cash the mail? So
I wrote her in check for like two hundred bucks.
I put in the mail, I mailed it to her,
and I'm like, I felt so bad. But this guy,
you know, in his defense, but I don't know if
it's defense, but he was too wasted to remember to
do anything. But but then again, that's that sort of

(14:34):
part for the course with old with old Kevin over there,
he's so nice for it, right, I felt terrible the
whole thing. I'm like, this is a disaster.

Speaker 10 (14:42):
To say it.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
You came to her job, crossed the scene with you,
he got somebody fired, the body fire, your boy passes out.

Speaker 7 (14:51):
You said it.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
I threw open the cab on the way home, married you. Yes,
this is before. Yeah, this is this is me. Yeah, yeah,
and they're still married. He's a real one. She is
a real one. Yeah. I'm telling you, I'm not the
one that like she gets hammer too, you know what

(15:14):
I'm saying. But she goes, she goes.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Here, she tips red Shill good morning on the radio,
and the iHeart app as well. Search for the Frendshiel
on demand. This is for anybody who's worked in the
service industry before. I want to take a little quick
little uh you know survey eight five five five nine
one three five. Because you have jays, you've been in
the service industry. Yeah, yeah, you used in the bars.
Because I worked in retail. I feel like everyone needs

(15:42):
to work in either retail or food service or both
in my opinion, at one point in your lives. If not, yeah,
if not doing both. However, this is a story from
the New York Post. There's a woman who a grown woman,
who claims that her tips as a server are better
when she wears pigtails. She claims this is a hack,

(16:04):
pigtails increase her tips at work. I saw this TikTok
about this girl. She's a waitress. I'm a waitress. How
she gets more tips when her hair is in pigtails
for some reason, crazy weird? And then she puts her
hair in pigtails and then makes a bunch of money.
So is this saying that you look younger? Is it
some kind of like a weird, youthful fetish that guys have.

Speaker 14 (16:23):
Guys love pigtails, they do It's like the schoolgirl thing.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yeah, I don't know why you all love them, but
you do.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
But I want to know, if you were in the
service industry, what was your hack to make more money?
You know, what did you consciously do? Did you if
you were in a relationship, did you lie and say
that you weren't, if you were engaged or married?

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Did you not wear your ring?

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Because I actually know some people that go the other way,
which I think is probably hindering their tips. But then
why I'm not saying it's fair, But then it also
it means they don't get bothered by a bunch of dudes.
They wear a fak ring to work so that guys
don't hit on them. But then you probably aren't making
as many tips, because I do believe that there are
guys out there that will tip you more thinking maybe
do they have a chance. But do you remember anything

(17:05):
in particular, and it doesn't have to be bodily related,
like did you do anything in particular to get more tipped?

Speaker 2 (17:10):
You don't want to know what I showed up. There
was a bartender that I would work with.

Speaker 15 (17:14):
We would tag team, like Saturday nights, we'd both be
behind the bar and we had the same last name.
So we used to joke that we were brother and sister,
and she was really attractive, so the guys would always
be like, oh you know, do you know Sawyer? But
I was like, oh yeah, that's my sister, Like do
you want to like go out with it, like I'll
introduce you to her like whatever. So they would tip
us more because the one they thought we were related,
so they felt that they were like in this familial thing.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
But also like I'd be like, oh yeah, so here's
really interesting.

Speaker 15 (17:39):
You always play that game like when you tagged team,
you know, go back and forth, so the people will
always give us good tips for that, see Rufio.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
But I am saying after the bunk fed joke, now Rufio,
we've lost him for the bus like he's now he's
in another just another Everything you say now is sexual
tag team Like that would be like if you're gonna
hit on a waitress or a waiter or whatever whatever
you're into, you you can't leave a bad tip. So

(18:09):
you you got to tip more because if I leave
a bad tip and I leave my number, I have
no chance. You know.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let me see here where did it go? Christina?

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Hi?

Speaker 11 (18:20):
Yes, hi, Hi guys?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
How are you good morning? So you you serve tables
or barartendor to what'd you do? I did a little
bit of book I've done.

Speaker 16 (18:27):
I mean, I've worked retail to serving, but my favorite
was definitely working the table.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Okay. And what did you do when working the tables
to increase your tips?

Speaker 17 (18:37):
I would put lipstick on every single time I showed
up to work with lipstick on, and.

Speaker 16 (18:42):
The letter, the better I would get so many tips.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Wow, so bright red. That was the way to go.

Speaker 17 (18:48):
Great red is definitely the way to go.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Okay, all right, And this lady says, pigtails. Do you
buy that? Do you think pigtails would make you more money?

Speaker 16 (18:55):
I mean, whatever makes money, right, I don't know.

Speaker 18 (18:58):
I've never tried picktails.

Speaker 19 (19:00):
Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:00):
There you go, all right, Christina, thank you, have a
good day. I want another trick, and it doesn't have
to be I don't know. Maybe you had some other trick.
Maybe you recommended something, or you had some subliminal way
of getting viewed. I don't know, whatever it was. How
in the service industry did you find yourself making more money?
What was the strategy? Hey, Laura, Hi, Hi Laura, good morning,
Thank you for listening for calling. What did you do

(19:21):
to make more tips.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
So I always.

Speaker 17 (19:24):
Specifically were my thanks leggings.

Speaker 16 (19:28):
Okay, tie and whenever you tie your friend, make sure
you double the tie it, but you tie it in
the front just because to help pick your body up
here to look better.

Speaker 11 (19:39):
And just what it is.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
But always always Banks leggings.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Does that that improves the whole thing, the waste, the booty,
the whole thing, the whole thing. I mean I could
use I could use some manks, you know, just to
suck in. Just suck in the middle section. That's all
I got to do. But I want to know where
it goes. That's what concerns me is it's got to
go somewhere.

Speaker 17 (20:00):
Well, that's why are so great because that whole sand
is the front, like it just it's like it sucks
allid it just controls.

Speaker 10 (20:10):
Everything and then just makes it that like pop to
what the sweating?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Like where does the sweating go? You know what I'm saying,
Like if you're wearing.

Speaker 17 (20:16):
This, so they're lagging right, so they control your sweat
so you don't have to necessarily even worry about that either.
And like they're technically like workout leggings, but they appear
to be much more of a trustier fashion.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Yeah, but Laura, what happens when when we get home
and you gotta pop me like a biscuit brow, like
a biscuit conduction?

Speaker 2 (20:37):
You do that, you do that privately.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Then I come out and like you looked built at
the bar when I tipped you, and you got a Yeah,
where does dan button come from?

Speaker 20 (20:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (20:49):
I is not prepared to answer that question.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Okay, all right, saough, thank you, Laura, have a good day. Like, dude,
you're a different guy the hell I Hey Jackie, Hi,
Hi Jackie, good morning. How did you increase your tips
in the service industry?

Speaker 19 (21:08):
It's something I still do, but just being super done
up and wearing lipstick. I think it works really well, especially.

Speaker 16 (21:14):
With women, just because everyone wants to know what you're wearing,
and then it just builds really good report.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
Now.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
See that's interesting because we assume that men are tipping
generally speaking, that men are tipping women more for looking
a certain way, But you're saying that that women will
tip better for another woman if they look more presentable.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Yeah, I mean I.

Speaker 19 (21:37):
Definitely notice it, like with men, but specifically with women.
I think like it just helps builds of different kind
of relationships than you usually build.

Speaker 17 (21:45):
With, like the men at your table, okay, and then
they just kind of trusted you a little more.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
All right, fair enough, thank you a Jackie. Have a
great day. Thank you, thanks so much for listening. Michelle. Hi, Michelle,
how are you.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm good, a good morning.

Speaker 3 (22:00):
So I guess I'm gonna wear pigtails to work tomorrow
and they're gonna tip me more. Oh I don't know
how I'm gonna do that. My hair is not quite
long enough for that. But what do you what did
you do in the service industry to make more money?

Speaker 19 (22:10):
You make them laugh.

Speaker 13 (22:12):
The older man would come in, you know, like sixty
seventy and be like I'm going.

Speaker 10 (22:18):
And they're like oh.

Speaker 18 (22:21):
Whatever, or like the bathrooms, like we don't have a
bathroom here, and they would like take that you like,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Have to.

Speaker 14 (22:30):
High I'm like whatever.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
Okay, little stand up comedy routine over there, all right?
So yeah, you'd if you'd tell you tell jokes, you'd
be silly.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, old man, old men like that. Yeah, then they enough?
Thank you, Michelle, have a good day. Yeah. Okay, Hey Mike, Hey,
what's up? How you doing? Mike? Mike, Mike, what what
did you do to make more more dough? You were bartending?

Speaker 11 (23:00):
Yeah, it was bartending. And I mean obviously the movie
is buy back, you know, I mean, you know somebody
is ordering like, you know, the third drink, like, oh,
you know, the next one's on the house. You know,
this is obviously something that that should be approved by
the manager, but it doesn't have to be not really
like you know, kind of casual form form an extra drink,
you know, you know, a little shot.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
I see whatever.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Now, do people ever, because I've seen this done with
desserts too, Like there are some places I go where
I think the servers are enabled or maybe even not,
but they'll just say, like the desserts on me, where
the first round was on me or something like that.
Do people ever then they like been there for a
while and they forget that you did that, Because what
you got to do when that happens is you got
to remember when you get the bill that I got

(23:43):
twenty bucks for free or something, and I got to
put that on the table and I tip.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Do you ever get like people like they just forget
that they that you did that for them? Well, not
not usually.

Speaker 11 (23:53):
I mean like you know, you got to be able
to be a little chatty and let them understand, like,
you know, this one's on the half.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
I was like, you know, you got you gotta really, like,
you know, sell it a little.

Speaker 11 (24:03):
I mean, like, you know, I'd be overly overdoing it,
but you gotta sell it a little bit, like like
you know, this is not me making up. Okay, don't
worry about.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
It, right, fair enough, thank you, Mike, have a good day. Yeah, okay,
well thanks man, have a good day. I remember I, uh,
I did that. It was like a ghost walking tour
something on a date.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
What is a year ago? I did it or something. Yeah,
And the guy was he was good.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
He he had all of our email addresses or our
phone numbers or something, you know, because you sign up
for this thing, the walking tour, and he needed a
place you walk around for a while and it's all tourists.
So he had put together a list of not only
everything you saw, but then his favorite restaurants and bars
that he would text you or send you or like
offer to give you. And I think that increased his

(24:48):
tips because it was like that wasn't part of the service.
It was just him being sort of like helpful, you know,
because most of the people taking these tours are not
from Chicago, so they're like, well, you know whatever. So
he'd be like, Hey, if you want, I'll and you
you know this list I've made of these cool places
you should see and people you should ask for when
you go to whatever restaurant. And I guarantee he made
more money because of that, because people are like, well
that's cool, then they give him more money.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I thought it was clever.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Hey Dan, Hello Dan, this is the same kind of
thing so you were when you were giving tourists to tourists.

Speaker 13 (25:20):
Yeah, this is a popular one for anybody giving any
type of tour or guy to boat, you know, and
the walking tours are great, but this is kind of
a common one amongst those is that you know, two
co workers will kind of parallel, you know, path when
they cross each other or see each other at wherever
the ticket booth is, and they'll say, hey, you know, Jerry,
happy birthday, and they'll say happy birthday to them in
front of the tour guy in terms of the tour group,

(25:41):
and it's not the guy's birthday. But you know, a
lot of times people are to your point out of
towners or whatever, and they, oh, my gosh, you know,
Jerry's working on his birthday. I'm gonna give hi a little.

Speaker 10 (25:50):
Bit next to you.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
It scam.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Okay, well, fair enough.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
Thank you, Dan.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Good.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I read a book once. It was I think it was.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think it was from this book Dig your well
before you're thirsty. I want to give this guy credit,
whoever it is. And this is a little bit old school,
but I thought it was so brilliant. And it's more
like a business thing, not necessarily a tip thing. But
this dude was a salesman and he would go to
like clients or conventions or whatever, and he would when
he was meeting a new client, he would get information
about them, just like in the course of conversation. He

(26:22):
would like, I don't know kids' names, birthdays, anniversaries, these
kind of things. He'd picked these things up, like just
getting to know somebody as a salesperson. He'd go back
to his hotel room where he carried birthday cards, anniversary cards,
thank you notes he would write, even if the anniversary
was like in six months, he would write the card
about all the information he just picked up before he

(26:43):
forgot it. He would address it and then put it
in a little folder for the month, and then at
the beginning of that month he'd mail all those cards.
So this dude from six months ago remembered said customers
anniversary or kid's birthday, you know, And they're like, how
did he do that? That was amazing, you know, But
really he didn't. He just you know, there it is,

(27:04):
that's the book. He just made these notes ahead of time.
I thought it was really smart because I mean, everyone
loves it when you remember something about them, and I
think he got a lot more business that way, because
it's like, remember that salesman from six months ago, how
do you remember my kid's birthday?

Speaker 2 (27:17):
You know or whatever. It's like, I'm gonna call him.
He was really it's really thoughtful when the dentists or
your insurance guy sends you a card and on your birthday.

Speaker 9 (27:23):
No, I don't like any guys with that's automatic. I
had an annoys the crap out of me. I'm like,
I don't know you a happy birthday, shy salesperson. He's
the fread Show Good Morning on the radio and the
iHeart app as well. Search for the freend Show on demand.
How many alarms do you guys set to make sure
that you're up? You said two two five two five

(27:46):
on the same thing though different times. I know that,
But I mean on the same device.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
Oh, No, one on my iPad and then five on
my phone. Whoa and where's your iPad? Is it in
the same place as your phone?

Speaker 6 (27:57):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (27:57):
Huh okay, because I know some people who set a
completely different device, like even an old school alarm early,
and they put it like in the bathroom, and they
put like somewhere that requires that they actually get up,
physically get up. Because I can see how Rufio, I
can see how you can turn your alarm off or
forget to turn it on. Ruvio, what do you mean, like, rufo,

(28:19):
why you're the most famous for not showing up because
your alarm's not you know, are being late because you
don't set your alarm because it doesn't go off.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Yeah, it happens. Yeah, Well that's what I'm saying, right,
I said. He's like, Yeah, I set two.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Alarms, both on my phone and at different times, and
you know, sometimes I hit this snooze or sometimes.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
I turn it off without realizing I turn off the
old That's.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Why you got to get one of those like Mickey
Mouse ones to go. It's had my parents. I was
the old school. I don't know if you remember the
Nickelodeon alarm.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I had that.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, it was like purple with the green god like
the big red button for the SnO, and be like
put that in your bathroom, just love it? Or does
that go along with the swatchphone the clear phone? Those
two things went hand in hand.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
And yes they did.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
The phone that was clear and it was like blinking yeah, yeah, exactly.
The average American sets four different alarms to wake up
on a normal day. According to a recent poll, One
intent of those surveyed don't set the alarm at all.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
What my god? That like, I don't understand this game.
How do you set one on the weekend? No, No,
I'm not an animal.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Maybe some people feel like they need to be out
of bed by a certain time on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Like I don't sleep, So if I'm sleeping, I'm not
interrupting it.

Speaker 3 (29:35):
Yeah, I don't say that's like one of my favorite
indulgences in life is not to have to set an alarm,
you know, to turn like like if we're gonna be
off for a week or whatever, and I turn the
alarm off for the week.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
I'm like, oh yeah, I'm still better normal time though,
And then I try to go back to sleep. Yeah
oh really always every single weekend day. Yeah no, I
sleep right through it. It's a two year old time
to get up.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
God, it's six thirty on a Saturday.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
I have the opposite problem, though, Like there are some
people who wake up as early as we do and
as anyone listening now does, and they still get up
every day when they don't have to. Their body wants
to wake up at the sun. I'm the opposite. I
want to go to bed when I'm used to going
to bed. I can sleep in, but I can't stay
out late with that.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
I get tired at the same time you do, but
I can sleep past my alarm, if that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
I'm very much a night owl.

Speaker 5 (30:30):
So like, if we didn't have to put ourselves about early,
I wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
Some people have nine to ten different alarms. See. My
thing is if you if all the alarms are on
the same phone, I.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Think you're I don't really know how effective I think
that is, because like what happened, What if something happens
to the entire phone, Like what if you forgot to
plug it in, or what if you deactivate something?

Speaker 2 (30:48):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (30:48):
Like, so I feel like if you're going to set
more than one alarm or more than two or three,
that one should be on something else to be sure.
Six and ten claim hitting this snooze and getting more
sleep helps have a better relationship with their partner. I
would think again, I thought, we think if someone else
is in bed and you're hitting snooze repeatedly, that my
partner would hate me.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yeah, that's that nice, catty, Hello, you do it.

Speaker 21 (31:13):
No, he wants to go to the gym, which you know,
like all respect to those who can get up and
go to the gym, but on the weekends seven am,
six thirty am, that's unacceptable. But he lets it just
ride alarms them off and I would cranky. He wonders
why I'm mad, Like if.

Speaker 3 (31:27):
I date somebody and I'm staying at their house or
something like, it's one alarm, and sometimes I try and
beat it, like if I'll roll over and see that
it's close, then I'll just get up because I don't
want it to go off at all, because I'm thoughtful.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Hell no, I'll if that happens to me, Like I
get up before my alarm, I will reset my alarm
till like ten minutes later. Like I'll change the time
on the clock.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Like I have like a bunch of settings, but not
all of them are on, so like it it's like
it's like I said the first one at four thirty.
If I wake up at like four fifteen, I'll be like, nope,
let me turn off the four thirty alarm.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Let me turn on the four thirty five. You know,
I'm like, give me five more minutes of sleep. Wednesday
is the day most likely for people to hit snooze.
Also Monday. Also, I've read other places that snooze is
like basically ineffective, that it's more of like a mental
thing because once you're out of rem sleep, you're not
getting rest anymore anyway, so you may as well just

(32:17):
get up. I guess it is the deal, But in
your mind you think you're getting extra sleep, so I
wind up hitting it anyway. My latest thing is I'll
get up earlier than I'm normally getting up. But then
I and I do my normal you know, scroll on
the phone, right, get rid of the emails, and I
go look at you know, Instagram and Twitter, look at
news and stuff, and look at some other sources. But

(32:38):
for some reason, now TikTok has entered the Oh wow,
the scan early and then ten minutes later, I'm like,
what am I doing? Like, take a shower. I don't
need to watch this person dance.

Speaker 7 (32:51):
More?

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Fred Show next right here? Well up in the city.

Speaker 21 (32:58):

in your past life? Did you come back as an ant?

It's the Fred Show by Natalie. Good morning, Hello, Good
morning Natalie. Natalie, tell us everything that's going on here
with this guy? Is it Al? How did you meet
to Bennie? Dates that you've been on the whole thing?

Speaker 22 (34:52):
Okay?

Speaker 23 (34:53):
I met Al on Hinge and we had two great dates.

Speaker 18 (34:58):
The first date we had drinks.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
And dinner and we stayed at the restaurant.

Speaker 23 (35:03):
Talking and so closed and it was just the best time.

Speaker 7 (35:08):
Then the next date he invited me.

Speaker 9 (35:10):
Over and I was even more impressed.

Speaker 23 (35:13):
His house was super nice and clean, which is, you know,
a great sign, and I felt we had a really
great time. But after I left, he never reached out again.
But yeah, I want to know what's going on.

Speaker 9 (35:30):
I really like him and no idea.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
All right, so you look back on this date and
you're like, ma'am, everything went really well. Surely you're puzzled.
You thought I'm gonna hear from this guy again. For sure,
we're gonna go out again. Yeah, the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 23 (35:46):
I mean I felt really good about both of our dates,
and I have no idea what happened.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
And I really like him.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Okay, all right, well let's call this guy out. We'll
see if we can get him on the phone, and
then we'll ask some question for you some point. You're
welcome to jumping on the call, and hopefully we can
straighten things out and set you guys up on another
date that we pay for. So good, so let's see
what happens next. Part two of Waiting Metaphone after this
song on The Fred Show. Good morning, It's the Fred Show.
Part two of Waiting Metaphone. Hey, Natalie, all right, welcome back.

(36:18):
Let's call al you guys. You guys met and had
a great date. It was drinks, it was dinner, and
I mean you really thought this was a successful date
back to his house afterwards. I mean, this is all
good stuff, right, This is all the kind of stuff
that you hope happens when you connect with someone off
of the dating app, except you haven't heard from him
since the date, and you want to.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
Know why, right exactly? All right? All right, let's call
Al now and see if we can figure this out.

Speaker 14 (36:43):
Good luck, Thank you?

Speaker 2 (36:52):
Hello, I is Al there? Oh high, good morning. My
name is Fred.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
I'm calling from the show and I have to tell
you that we are on the radio right now and
I would need your permission to continue with the call.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Is that okay?

Speaker 23 (37:06):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Okay, Well, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (37:08):
We're calling on behalf of a woman named Natalie since
she met you on the dating appanage and you guys
went out recently.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Do you remember her?

Speaker 22 (37:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, I do remember her? Okay.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
So she called us and told us that she thought
the date went really well and liked you a lot
and was hoping to see you again, but says that
she can't get a hold of you. You're not responding
to her. So what's going on? What's your version of
events here? Is?

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Is there?

Speaker 2 (37:31):
You are you needing to reach out or no?

Speaker 6 (37:34):
Well, we did meet and, like like you said on Hinge,
and we went on two days. Actually we went for dinner,
had a lovely time. She's beautiful, very interesting, fun to
talk to. And then we had a second date. I
invited her over to my house for dinner and she
showed up with her three month old puppy. Didn't ask

(37:57):
to bring the puppy, just showed up with the puppy.
And then that puppy just went around and destroyed my
house like just I mean, just the most ill behaved
shoot on furniture, ate pairs of shoes, a pre pair
of my Jordan's.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Oh no, you've now you've done it now Okay, Now
at first I was like, that sucks, but no, now
we have crossed the line that we can out uncross. Wow, okay,
so you and this is yeah, this.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
Is the biggest puppy I've ever seen too. She said
it was like a.

Speaker 6 (38:29):
Like a mix between a Saint Bernard and a mastiff
that looked like any.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
In my house or something.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
And she didn't she didn't say, hey, can I bring
my dog over, you know, for dinner or whatever. There
was no she didn't even she didn't even say can
I bring my puffy me? Not to mention the the size,
but you didn't even know she was coming with a dog.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, no, not at all.

Speaker 6 (38:49):
No, I had no idea.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
She just showed up.

Speaker 6 (38:51):
And then after she left I found her dog left
me a couple of presents, like about a gallon of
pea on the floor, and then a dump that looked
like a catcher's mask that is rather descriptive, probably could
have done without a description.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Let me, let me bring uh Natalie, And I forgot
to mention that Natalie is here. I'm so forgetful, Natalie.
What's up with the small horse that you brought over
to his house? Why are we doing that? Oh?

Speaker 9 (39:18):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (39:20):
He's not kidding you?

Speaker 19 (39:21):
A really al what kind of a monster are you?

Speaker 2 (39:25):
It was a puppy.

Speaker 10 (39:26):
It's a puppy.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah, but you don't.

Speaker 10 (39:29):
Old puppy.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
You don't bring a puppy an untrained animal to someone's
home without either very careful supervision or or how about
that at all?

Speaker 23 (39:39):
Okay, Well, first of all, my puppy is in my
hinge profile.

Speaker 20 (39:45):
Okay, I just got the dog, and the dog can't
be less for more than three hours by itself. And
so you know who, hello, who doesn't like dogs?

Speaker 23 (39:56):
I mean, come on, are you serious?

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Why everyone loves persons like you need Caesar Malan over there.
Like to the dog, I mean, it's it's not very
well tramped. It craped all over his house. I mean,
you know, you know, I love a dump. I love
all domes, all even the ones that crap everywhere. But
I'm still like, yo, I mean, if it's not if

(40:20):
we're not ready to have it in the house yet,
like you know, then let's not bring it over and
tear up my house and yours.

Speaker 20 (40:27):
He should have said when he saw the dog, I
don't want a dog in my house, and then I
would have been like, Okay, I don't want to see
you anymore.

Speaker 23 (40:33):
You can't trust anyone who doesn't like animals.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Oh I don't. I didn't hear.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
I'll say he doesn't like he didn't like the dump,
he didn't like the fact that his Jordan's were chewed up.
He need to buy him some new shoes.

Speaker 2 (40:45):
Oh, yes, you do.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
Yeah, It's hard to trust anyone who likes that much
of an animal, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
It's like that dog came on nipples, you know what
I mean. It's just this, I realized it's a it's
three months old. There, it's challenging.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
I do know that, but in general, and I'm not
even talking about puppies, I mean the older I do
judge a person if I'm being honest on the behavior
of their dog and their tolerance of that behavior. Like
if it's one thing, if you're at your house, and
even then, if I'm sitting there eating at your house
and the dog's trying to eat my food on the tape,
I'm like, you don't. I mean, come on, like this
is we live in a society here, Like you got it.

(41:23):
The dog needs to be I think, well behaved is fair, right,
you know, But I don't. I don't care if the
I love it when dogs sleep in the bed, and
I don't care if they're on the furniture.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
I mean, that's it's your house. Whatever.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
But I will say, like if a dog's just if
your house is full of pee and and the dog
is unruly and kind of runs you, I don't. I
don't love that. That's not how it's supposed to be. Well,
I don't do it like that, So you just you
what's this dog's name, by the way, what's this small
horse's name? This lion pepper Pepper? And do you so
you just let Pepper just free Rome out here like you.

(41:56):
Pepper's raising you, is what we're saying.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
I'm just curious.

Speaker 20 (42:00):
So we were playing with the dog. It didn't seem
like a big deal while I was there, So I'm
hearing this now. He could have said something if there
was issues. I didn't see anything happening that was ridiculous
of this dramatic story that he's saying.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
So the dog is three pairs of my shoes while
we were eating.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
I think if you're going to take your dog out
in public, then you have the dog has to be
relatively well behaved, right, do we all agree?

Speaker 7 (42:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (42:27):
I mean public is one thing.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
You'd set the dogs to his house like, he doesn't
even know if he likes you yet, So how would
he know if he liked your dog?

Speaker 2 (42:33):
It's just a lie?

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Okay, Well look, I mean I'm a huge animal lover.
I just think that we all have a responsibility to
mind our you know, to look after our own animals
and make sure that they're behaving and not tearing up
property and stuff like that. I mean, I don't think
you'd want that at your house. Actually, it sounds like
you do. It sounds like you're into that actually, but
you know he didn't want that at his house. And
then you didn't clean up after the dog either, which is,

(42:57):
even if the dog is going to be misbehaved or
gonna act like a puppy, it's still your dog. You
probably should have done a little, I don't know, little
uh inspection of the home to make sure that you cleaned.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Up after this horse.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
I mean thing is I love big dogs too, but
if your dog is pooping bigger than me, like I
mean that, we have to really make sure that we're
you know, mindful. Okay, whatever, Yeah, she doesn't care. Okay, good,
look al uh, you're not interested. You don't want to
go out again? What if we What if the dog stays?
What if Pepper stays at home with its big ass poops, Well.

Speaker 6 (43:31):
Definitely the dog needs to stay home. And if I
could get that address, I can send.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
Her a bill for all the stuff that needs to
be Jay, you're talking aout at least probably two twenty
a pair.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Yeah, it's expensive, expensive puppy.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
And I feel bad because I'm an animal lover, but like,
am I asking for too much? If you're gonna take
your dog over someone's else, I gotta you gotta watch it.

Speaker 24 (43:50):
Right, No, not at all, even un announced, unannounced, you
gotta go. If he's allergic, I'm not. I guess that's
a bigger issue. But what if he had another what
if he had an animal? Yeah, you got to ask
before him. But anyway, look, Natalie, it's not gonna work out.
I'm sorry, Al Natalie, thank you both for your time.
Best of luck.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
So good morning on the radio and the iHeart app
as well. Search for the Fred Show on demand.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
I wanted to.

Speaker 3 (44:12):
I was talking to some new friends of mine yesterday.
In fact, I met them at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.
They are twins. They they are radio personalities. They do
they do the night show on our sister station in
New York City, w k t U. And I was

(44:33):
messaging with them yesterday and by the way, everything is
a group thing. Like you don't talk to one of them,
he talked to both of us. I love them at
old times. No, they're amazing, they're great. But they were
telling me they're they're twins. They're identical. They're so identical
that even people who work with them don't know which
one they're talking to very often, Like I was talking

(44:53):
to a guy that sees them every day, and he goes,
Dude like, no, cap, I don't know which one I'm
talking to. One will come in the room and I'm like,
I don't know is one or the other? I'm not
really sure. But they were telling me yesterday that they
are dating brothers. So twin sisters are dating. I don't

(45:15):
think they're twins, but just all I got was brothers. Wow,
And I'm like, I'm like, ladies, you're asking for it.
I mean, how does that happen? Like one dude goes
and meets one of them and then goes to his
brother and is like, dude, there's one left. There's one more,
Like I'm gonna hook it up right now. I mean,
how weird must that? Like? Honestly, of course, my brain

(45:35):
goes to like kind of a perverted place on this.
But they're identical, and I'm sure they're identical in every
in almost every way, So like, do you think the
brothers get together and are like, well, you know what
I mean. But that's not really what I'm worried about.
What I'm most worried about is the odds are not
great that it works out with both of them. Forever, right,

(45:58):
and so what happens when And I actually know of
a case where one of my distant cousins married.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
I'm trying to remember how this.

Speaker 3 (46:09):
Was a brother, somebody's brother, like like once married to
one their sisters and they married brothers and then one
got a nasty divorce, and so now like at family functions,
one of the brothers is always there and you know
he signed with his brother, and so like it's just
awkward every time because there's no way around it. Like

(46:30):
it's family so that you can't avoid it. But I mean,
has anyone ever done this before? Eight five five three
five You can text the same number. But like, this
just seems like an automatically a bad idea to me,
like right off the top, because you know you're dating,
everything's going well, the odds of both of you hitting
it off and and and you know, going on into

(46:51):
forever together and nothing happens and there are no problems.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
It's not very good. I think it's a bad idea.

Speaker 5 (46:57):
Right, So my best friend stated to and this happened.
One of them ended up marrying the twin, the other
one broke up. And so when we had the one
who was getting married's bachelorette party. Our other friend couldn't
come because the twin the other twins.

Speaker 25 (47:13):
Knew wife was on the bachelorette so it caused a
lot of drama. I know that's like hard to follow,
but basically best friends. One of the best friends wasn't
invited because the other twin moved.

Speaker 2 (47:23):
On, so it was very messy. I mean, I just
think it's like, I don't know, and we did ask
about their privates being the same.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
By the way, what I'm telling you, I'm telling you,
I'm telling you that comes up. I'm telling you that
comes up. And I'm not trying to be like weird
about this. I mean, they're very, very attractive. I'd like
to know the answer, but I'm not gonna. I would
never I would never ask, of course, because I am
a gentleman and I had heard one of them was single,
and I was very disappointed to learn that they are not. However,

(47:54):
it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, I'm a professional. What
does matter is I am concerned about this situation for
them as nice people. I think it is a bad
idea and I just don't see a situation a scenario
where this works out for everybody either they both have
to break up with these guys and they both have
to stay again with him forever because otherwise stuff gets weird.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Daisy, Hi, Daisy, how are you doing?

Speaker 11 (48:20):
Go ahead, just being coffin, so you know, you know.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
A little bit about this, you've been through this.

Speaker 19 (48:27):
Yeah, Well, my sister in laws is baby daddies or brothers,
and now they're dating my brothers and they've been best
friend since in kindergarten.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
So your brothers are dating sisters. I'm trying to fall
I'm sorry, I need a diagram.

Speaker 10 (48:43):
No, no, so I have two.

Speaker 19 (48:45):
Sisters in laws.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Okay, all right, they've been Yeah.

Speaker 19 (48:48):
So I have brothers, Jesse and Michael, and Jesse and
Michael are dating Hailey and Jessica. But Haley and Jessica
have kids from previous relationships and they were also brothers, brothers,
two brothers.

Speaker 2 (49:03):
This is messy, man, I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 19 (49:06):
All of my nieces and nephews are all meiters and nephews.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
Wow, I don't Yeah, no, no, I'm scared.

Speaker 10 (49:15):
Okay, yeah, it.

Speaker 19 (49:18):
Works out, it works out, it works out for us.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Okay, Well all right, Daisy, I'm still I'm like I'm
drawing a diagram to make sure I understand the family tree,
to make sure there's no issues here, all right, daisy,
thank you?

Speaker 2 (49:32):
So is Rufiel, by the way.

Speaker 3 (49:33):
He's trying to figure this out to carry the one
and then multiply by two and then you'll get it.
Thank you, Daisy, You have a good dammy. You can't
help what you fall in love with. But I also
feel like one of them must have met one of
the brothers first, and then the other one met the
other one. And it's like, don't you just say to yourself, like, eh,
we're not doing that.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
If the sisters are together all the time, don't you
think they would just meet them at the same time,
Like you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (49:59):
Maybe, And here's the other thing, Like they're identical, but
they're a little bit different, and then their personalities are
a little different, and apparently they're attracted to different kinds
of guys. So my thing is, what if you they
look the same, but what if you met one and
you're like, she's so hot, I'm so attracted to her,
as one would, and then you meet the other one

(50:21):
and you're like, but her personality suits me better.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
Yep, you know. I mean, like I don't know.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
I've been thinking about this non stuff for like twelve hours.
Hey Courtney, Hello, Hi, Hi, I love messy, right, thank you?

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I love you too. This is messy, Okay.

Speaker 18 (50:39):
So I actually have a happy ending version of this.

Speaker 19 (50:42):
So I did not do this. But my nana, who
is ninety two.

Speaker 18 (50:48):
Her sister married my papa's brother.

Speaker 19 (50:51):
So brothers married sisters, and.

Speaker 18 (50:56):
I mean they were married for sixty years, and when
my papa passed away, they live not to stalk to
each other.

Speaker 19 (51:02):
And now my great uncle takes care of my nana.

Speaker 7 (51:05):
Too, So it's a happy it's a happy ending story.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Okay. All right, So it could work out. I guess,
all right, they couldn't.

Speaker 19 (51:13):
I guess, you know, maybe maybe in the fifties it
was different, you know, but uh yeah.

Speaker 18 (51:19):
It worked out for them.

Speaker 3 (51:21):
So yeah, all right, thank you, Courtney. You have a
good day. It's this sweet story you too. The other thing,
if you're dating siblings, I mean it's hard enough to
date like best friends. Like if I've been in a
situation before where like I'm dating a girl and my
buddy's dating her great friends, and like it's always a
united front versus a united front, you know what I mean, Like,
you're never gonna my best friend's never gonna not side

(51:43):
with me. But he's also trying not to piss off
his girlfriend too because he doesn't want to pay the
penalty for my indiscretion or vice versa. But yet he's
likely got my back. So it's like these are they're sisters, right,
So they're not gonna sister's not gonna be like yo,
I'm out, Like you're on your own own, you know
what I mean, Like they're gonna they're gonna stay together,

(52:04):
and so are the brothers. And the other thing is,
do you think that I still want to go back
to Do you think the brothers talk about like stuff?

Speaker 2 (52:11):
You know, they have to they have to, Yeah, I
mean you got to. They're probably like, Okay, how can
we trick them? I was kidding. They're not twins and brothers.
The twins could though, Yeah, the twins could take the
other guy for a ride.

Speaker 10 (52:27):
Yeah, freaky.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
In your mind?

Speaker 7 (52:35):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
You know what those guys would be lying if they
hadn't thought about it. Yeah, And I'm not trying to
be disrespectful, o kle And I'm glad you said it,
because if I.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
Said it, and I'm like, well, I did ask my friends, like, yo,
are the privates the same?

Speaker 14 (52:49):
And you know they weren't because there was an issue
with one of their circumcisions.

Speaker 3 (52:53):
So oh yeah, I wonder if it's all identical.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
That's interesting. Hey Tony, Yo, Hi Tony. How you doing man?

Speaker 3 (53:02):
So I'm doing good man, Hey man, Well thanks for listening.
My twin friends are dating brothers, and I've i this
is a more you know moment. I don't like, I
don't think it's good.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
All right, Well I'm not dating.

Speaker 7 (53:18):
I wasn't dating a twin, but I ended up marrying
my uh brother's ex baby mama or little sister. So
we got three kids and that's it's I mean, it's
it data dating and on good terms. So she lives
and she lives out of fate and you know, but

(53:40):
we don't see that often.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
But so look, we don't have to meet up.

Speaker 7 (53:43):
At family functions. But yeah, they got a little bad
blood between them.

Speaker 3 (53:47):
Yeah, well, I guess the thing there is because they
have kids, they're kind of always connected, so there was
it wasn't like that person was going to disappear anyway,
like forever. Right, So I suppose it's like, yeah, okay,
but a man like if there's no there are no kids,
and you break up with someone, it's bad blood. You figure, well,
I never have to see him again. And then my
sister goes along and marries that girl's brother. Now it's like,

(54:10):
now I got to see him again, and now I'm
actually sort of indirectly connected for life.

Speaker 7 (54:16):
Yeah yeah, I couldn't imagine that, but I mean it's
worked out, so it's not too bad, right.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Fair enough, Thank you, man, have a great day, are
you sure? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (54:26):
We got a lot of messy folks. Man, we got
a lot of messy folks, and I'm here for it. Hey, Linda, Yes,
sir Hiland, good morning, welcome. So tell me your messy story.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
Thank you.

Speaker 18 (54:40):
Yeah, my grandma and so this was like nineteen.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
Forty.

Speaker 18 (54:48):
She was married to Jerome and then they got to
Boor and she married his brother.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Okay, wow yeah, wow wow.

Speaker 18 (55:00):
So my dad actually Frank's son, but my grandma was
married to Jerome first. So I don't know how awkward
that was, but I'm the hap to assume that family functions.

Speaker 7 (55:14):
It was a little weird.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
Yeah, yeah, huh. Okay, well there you go.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
See there's an example of like maybe they look kind
of alike, and so Grandma is like, oh, I like
this guy, marries him, but then gets to know the
brother better. Was like, well, I'm attracted to him, but
I actually get along with him better, right, I think
I'd rather be with him, you know, similar sensibility, similar background,
but like better personality for me.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Yeah, wow, all right, Linda.

Speaker 18 (55:41):
Because Jerome was a little crazy and Frank was more
like even kill. She stayed married for thirty five years
before he died.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Did she go back and pick Jerome after that?

Speaker 21 (55:56):
No?

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Tell me Jerome was I don't know. Well to Jerome,
I have a good day, Linda.

Speaker 26 (56:05):
I love you, guys.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
I love you too. I love us.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
She's using proper names with these people, like we know
who they are. Hey, Kelly, good morning, Kelly, Welcome to
the Friend Show.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
How are you, hi, guys?

Speaker 10 (56:16):
Hi guys, how are you doing?

Speaker 3 (56:17):
I love you, guys, Hey, I love you to say
you've actually done this. You've you've dated your sister. You
and your sister dated twins.

Speaker 12 (56:25):
Yes, we did so.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
So we were in high school.

Speaker 10 (56:29):
I'll let me put that first.

Speaker 12 (56:30):
So we were in high school.

Speaker 10 (56:31):
We didn't marry them.

Speaker 12 (56:33):
However, it was so great because we would walk down
the street and people would do a double take because
my sister and I look alike. We're not twins, but
we look just alike, same height, same bill, everything. And
we dated and people would walk down the street and
do a double take because they're like, we just saw them,

(56:53):
We just saw them again.

Speaker 10 (56:55):
She stayed with.

Speaker 12 (56:56):
Her boyfriend for a long time. My boyfriend, however, was
kind of like a player, so we ended maybe about
after a year, and they dated though, and so yeah,
it was awkward because when we were getting ready to
go out, she wanted to take her boyfriend and I

(57:19):
wanted to take somebody knew, but I couldn't because.

Speaker 19 (57:24):
She had this guy.

Speaker 12 (57:25):
So that's our story. But it was really fun though
when we when we dated, because you know, we got
a lot of attention because they thought we were we
were all tanned.

Speaker 2 (57:36):
Can I ask you something, Kelly? Did you and your
sister talk about it all the time, like to.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Yes and no.

Speaker 22 (57:47):
They were different, they know they were, but no, and
I'll say this, they were different in totally different ways.

Speaker 12 (57:59):
They their personalities were different.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
So but downstairs were the different.

Speaker 12 (58:08):
I will say this, I don't know, but I don't know.
I don't know because I wasn't. I wasn't in that
area in that time in my life.

Speaker 10 (58:21):
Yeah, all right, all right, business out there.

Speaker 3 (58:32):
Your sister was a little fast, but Kelly was a
little slow, right right, Okay, all right, Kelly, thank you,
have a good day.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (58:40):
Here, I'm gonna add another twist to this, and I
just I just met these girls. I hope they're not
mad at me, because I don't. I'm not trying to
blow them up. And I really like them and in
all due respect, but I think they even lived together,
which adds another wrinkle to this because I think think
about like date night, you know that, it's like when
they wake up in the morning for breakfast and his
sisters and brothers and they're like high five, like I mean,

(59:01):
doing many whoa. We just got this text. My ex
husband has a twin who died identical twin. Mind you, well,
my ex husband is now married to his dead twins widow.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Whoa, whoa, Wait, that makes.

Speaker 14 (59:19):
Sense because they're probably grieving together.

Speaker 10 (59:23):
I'm a little slow dead twins widow.

Speaker 14 (59:25):
I think she was married to one twin and then
he died and then married the other one.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Or yeah, basically the woman the woman was married to
one of two identical twins. Her husband died, so she
went and married the other one. Oh, I could see
that with the grieving thing. Yeah, identical, you know, saying, how.

Speaker 10 (59:42):
Is that okay?

Speaker 2 (59:44):
That's because twins are just we're not saying it's okay,
We're just saying I could see that of anyone. Wouldn't
you want someone who is just like you?

Speaker 3 (59:54):
No, like, don't marry my sibling if I die, you know,
like the same time, Like, how weird must that be?
And again I keep going back, I keep going like,
I keep going back to more intimate settings. But how
weird must that be? To look at the guy. You're
looking at a guy, he looks exactly like the last guy.

(01:00:16):
He's a different he's a different guy. Like he doesn't
know what the other one knows. He doesn't do what
the other one does, he doesn't have the same moves
the other one does. But you're looking at You're like,
you're looking at him in the eye and he's doing stuff,
and you're like, but it ain't the same, or maybe
it's way better, or maybe it's way worse.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
I don't know. Yeah, it's like marrying a clothes I
would be calling him by the wrong name.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
It would be like, oh, he just passed away, you know,
or or or what if one twin and I'm not
talking about my friends anymore, because again all due respect,
but what if one twin they're identical looking, like you
could have picked either one. What if one twin is
into some wild stuff and the other one's like not
at all, and you're like, damn, but I'd.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Be competitive with my sibling, like I want to be
the better one. That's what you like. Fops, I thought
you were I thought you were your sister. Oh my man,
you know what I'm saying that you're sneak attack? What
is with you in the sneak attack?

Speaker 20 (01:01:17):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:01:21):
What does somebody say here? You guys have no idea
what you're talking about. Sometimes I'm like, this is the
most that's the most obvious thing ever alone, Like did
you just stumble on it? On the program? Half the time,
we don't know what the hell we're talking about. We're
pretty honest about that. French show is it's the Fresh Show.
Good morning, Thank you so much for having us on.
A psychologist is warning that people who enjoy true crime

(01:01:46):
documentaries that it's a major red flag and calen and
I love them and I watched them down now that
I know, now that is concerning. Yes, it doesn't calm
me down per se, But I mean I can't get
enough true crime everything. I watched true crime anything all
the time.

Speaker 21 (01:02:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
Who is the killer?

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Oh? No, killer, this kill or that scam artist, this
scam artist, that who stole what?

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Who took it?

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
What's the one killer that puts you to sleep? O?

Speaker 24 (01:02:15):
Was it the you?

Speaker 2 (01:02:16):
Guys?

Speaker 7 (01:02:16):
Well?

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
I run a study that said, like that means it's
a really bad signing because it means you're like used
to chaos, which is probably true.

Speaker 14 (01:02:23):
But I don't remember which serial killer I was watching?

Speaker 10 (01:02:26):
Who lives by you? Who used to?

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Oh? So this doctor explained that people often discuss their
love of true crime in therapy, and many find it
normal and familiar. She went on, some of us grew
up in high stress situations, so people mistake peace for boring,
and it's like to come home to yourself, you have
to lean into discomfort because it's going to feel unfamiliar.

(01:02:52):
So I guess that's why you watch it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
Yeah, I'm not used to peace. So, yeah, I didn't know.
I don't know about dad. I'm sorry, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:03:05):
But apparently that's why it's a red I'm going through
this article right now. That's why it's a red flag
because it means that you're used to, you know, I
don't know, just disarray in your life. And then so
I don't but I'm not though. I had a kind
of healthy upbringing sort of not really, but I mean
a little kind of. I mean, that's not why I
watch it.

Speaker 5 (01:03:25):
I don't know why I watch But you laughed when
your parents said you're getting divorced, so.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Like, well, that's true. But does that make me a
Psychopand I don't know, it makes me a psychopathy? No id,
other things make me a yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
No, I really don't know where the obsession came from.
And the other thing is I already know that the formula,
like the Dateline. I can watch the first eight minutes
of Dateline, maybe not even eight, sometimes only five, and
I already know what's going to happen at the end.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
I already know. I know all the tricks. I've watched
so many of them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
It's just saye a formula and they got it down,
and the two hour ones drive me crazy because I'm like,
this is not going to take two hours.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
I promise you that. Yes, oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
Sometimes it's a special new two hour date line Friday,
it's whatever. And then I think, is well, in the
first twenty minutes of the second hour, they just recap
the first hour.

Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
I'm like, well, we didn't need all the part ones
and part twos.

Speaker 3 (01:04:13):
Yes, anyway, so that's why I guess that makes sense though.
But me, I go home to silence and peace, and
it's fine, you know what I mean, Like I enjoy it.
I savor the peace in the quiet. I effect, the
more quite, the better I have to leave in here
God to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Hear your own thoughts, like and you like that is like, yeah,
I guess, I guess I do. Yeah, I did. So
you need you need like volume and noise all the
time all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:04:40):
There's either music, podcast, TV, I'm talking to someone. Wow,
I can't, I can't.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
Yeah. I feel like I don't recharge unless I'm actually
not doing anything, Like like the idea of recharging while
you've got the thing on, you know what I mean,
Like imagine recharging your you know appliance while it's on,
it ain't gonna work.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
No, I need SIME plans to recharge. It's the introvert
extrovert thing I think. Yeah, I think. So I didn't
know I did your psychopath that's true. I don't need
an article for that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:08):
Doctor says it right here. It's the Fred Show, Good
Morning on the Radio and the iHeart app as well.
Search for the Fred Shill on demand show Good Morning
on the Radio and the iHeart app as well. Search
for the Fred Shill on Demand. So I learned something
this week about Kiki that that concerns me a little bit,
and it became a kind of a debate. You do
like a little cooking video series with Ryan Lee, the

(01:05:31):
guy who's on before us. He got the overnight Drive
program here on one of three point five FM for
that ass And.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
How often are you do like once a week? You
guys do this?

Speaker 10 (01:05:43):
Yeah, we do it once a week. It's called cooking
with Kiki and Ryan on YouTube. And we can't cook.
That's the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
You should have me on there because I can cook,
and especially if I bring my little mees meals with me,
and then please the directions and every everything's all chopped
up and.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Stuff like that. Then we would be just fine.

Speaker 10 (01:06:04):
I mean, I've seen those mees meals, so please bring
one or two.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
We'll I'll bring it up for everybody like that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:10):
But apparently in one of the videos, maybe the most
recent one, you were preparing chicken. Yes, and for some
reason you thought it was appropriate to wash the chicken.

Speaker 10 (01:06:21):
Yes, what do you mean? I thought it was appropriate.
That's what I've been doing my entire life.

Speaker 2 (01:06:26):
And you don't wash it. You don't have to wash
the chicken. The chicken fine.

Speaker 4 (01:06:30):
I did not know this.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:32):
We had a guess on the show and he kind
of told us, you know, we were going through the
steps and he was like, okay, you just put the
chicken in the pan, and I'm like, hold on, we
didn't wash it, and he was like, you don't wash it.

Speaker 10 (01:06:43):
So that was news to me for it.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
No, you don't wash.

Speaker 3 (01:06:46):
You don't wash chicken before you cook it, like you're
cooking it and if you cook it properly and hopefully
you cook it to the right temperature, then it's going
to kill everything that's on there.

Speaker 10 (01:06:54):
But like it's smiling and all that.

Speaker 1 (01:06:58):
If you're washing them all that stuff fault that's getting
everywhere in your kitchen.

Speaker 10 (01:07:01):
Now, no, it's not too clean the soup.

Speaker 2 (01:07:04):
Then your sink is contaminating.

Speaker 10 (01:07:08):
La la la la law. You wash your chicken many Alina,
you don't.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
You don't wash it here.

Speaker 3 (01:07:16):
I want to know about anybody who is a chicken
washer eight five five five three five. You can text
the same number. Now, by the way, you chicken washers.
I actually I looked it up thinking that maybe because look,
who am I to say? I mean, I could barely
take care of myself, you know. So I don't know
if it's appropriate or not, but I don't think it is.

(01:07:37):
And it says meat and poultry are clean during processing,
so further washing is not necessary. Never use soaps or
detergents on your meat or poultry products. They can contaminate
your food with chemicals and make it on safe. You
don't use soap, dude, I.

Speaker 10 (01:07:50):
Don't go that far. Now, I don't go that. Just
take a little hot water to just get the slimy
stuff off, you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Know, gotta wash was wild to Kiki? Yeah, I asked you. Okay,
you wash your chicken. If you're gonna eat steak, you
wash steak too.

Speaker 11 (01:08:05):
Yeah, you.

Speaker 10 (01:08:10):
Just take the bloody steak out the packages because.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
It's gonna be bloody when I'm eating it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
So, my god, no, you gotta watch it. You gotta
risk it off, at least risk it off.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
So you're watching brown Beef too.

Speaker 10 (01:08:24):
Now, I don't watch grown Bee. That's now, that's yeah,
that's what's time?

Speaker 7 (01:08:29):
Is it too far?

Speaker 10 (01:08:29):
I don't because it gets weird, it gets it gets
the fabricates.

Speaker 3 (01:08:35):
Hold on, hold on, hold on, children, hold on, let's
let's Alex, Hi Alex, good morning? Now are you Alex?
I'm not okay. I'm bothered. I mean, I don't know
if I could be friends with these people anymore. They're
out here washing their meat before they cook it.

Speaker 11 (01:08:52):
I mean understandable.

Speaker 2 (01:08:54):
See no, it's not understand Yeah, thank you. Yeah Ki
Kiki Fred is understandable. I mean that was a cycle paths.

Speaker 11 (01:09:08):
Yes.

Speaker 18 (01:09:08):
I do not wash my chicken, but my boyfriend I
were cooking chicken one time. He starts putting under the sink.

Speaker 10 (01:09:13):
I'm like, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
And he wears gloves while he don't.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
I'm like, this is not okay, you know, yeah, no, no,
not no, you might need to break up with him
because chicken washers.

Speaker 2 (01:09:24):
I don't know about all this. You got it?

Speaker 10 (01:09:26):
Yeah, that is a major argument in the kitchen.

Speaker 3 (01:09:29):
Alex h bless your heart, have a great Tay. You're
a brilliant genius person. Yeah no, yeah, shut out, burns.

Speaker 11 (01:09:37):
It all off.

Speaker 10 (01:09:39):
I just don't trust that.

Speaker 5 (01:09:40):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
But you still eat it?

Speaker 20 (01:09:43):
I do it?

Speaker 2 (01:09:45):
Yeah, and you eat at a restaurant they ain't washing it?

Speaker 7 (01:09:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 23 (01:09:48):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
Hey, Arena, Rina, Hi, Arena, how are you hi? I'm
good Na, Come on, come on now? Can hear like
a rinsing off protein?

Speaker 2 (01:09:59):
Do you hate? Here's a question, key. Can you rinse
off turkey before you put in a sandwich?

Speaker 3 (01:10:03):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:10:04):
No, no, no, so slice meat gets a pass.

Speaker 2 (01:10:06):
But cooked? But yeah, Rena, your thoughts on cooking washing
protein before you cook it?

Speaker 12 (01:10:18):
I actually do watch it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:20):
My mom is old school Hispanics, so she doesn't like
the whole sliminess and feeling a texture of a chicken
when you're about to.

Speaker 19 (01:10:30):
Cook it, so she always makes sure that she lets
it soak in a little bit.

Speaker 16 (01:10:34):
Of lime and salt so that all that sliminess kind
of goes away, and then.

Speaker 10 (01:10:40):
Under the think when she rinses it.

Speaker 16 (01:10:43):
She actually uses a handful of salt that kind of
rubs off all the off the sliminess and extra fatty.

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
Okay, yeah, all right, Rina, thank you so much. Have
a great day like it. Yeah, I don't know, have
a good day. Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
I'll tell you the biggest, bigger problem than this. I mean,
I'm I guess I don't think I'm rare in this,
but like my problem with chicken is that I'll get
chicken breast from the store or whatever. I don't I'm
not out here washing it. But once I get my
knife to it, I start cutting out everything that I
think shouldn't be there, and before long there's I got
this like hacked chicken. Like it's like no chicken left

(01:11:25):
because I cut off everything you're from the chicken that
I don't think I should be eating. And I can
tell you right now, nowhere where you order a chicken
are they doing that. They're taking it out of the thing,
they're slapping on the grill and they're just cooking the
crap out of it and whatever. I eat some chicken
last night, and I guarantee that nobody was in there
taking tendons out and the rest of it. But That's
the problem is I wind up hacking the crap out
of my chicken to where I don't even it's like

(01:11:47):
a frankin chicken looking like peace by the time I
don't know, it's all messed up looking by the time.

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
I cook it.

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
Well, Fray, You know, I worked at KFC and we
didn't like wash the chicken, but they definitely dip the
chicken in water before they fry it to like release
some of the slime.

Speaker 10 (01:12:03):
I'm telling you, you gotta clean.

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
Yes, yes, did you? Did you just become like deep
because here's the thing. I like chicken.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
I enjoy a chicken sandwich, but chicken is kind of gross.
Did you become like desensitized or to just raw chicken
everywhere when you worked to KFC, Kiki.

Speaker 10 (01:12:20):
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, it was like nothing like, oh
there's a chicken strip. Oh look at that little dead
chicken wing.

Speaker 3 (01:12:27):
You know that little dead chicken wing. Yeah, I mean yeah,
hopefully it's dead and clean.

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
Hey Sierra, right, Hello, good mine, Hi, good morning. You're
a chicken washer.

Speaker 19 (01:12:42):
I am a chicken washer. You have to wash your chicken? Yes,
my god, it's so disgusting to just take it out
of the pack and put it.

Speaker 7 (01:12:50):
In the oven.

Speaker 11 (01:12:51):
It's unheard of.

Speaker 13 (01:12:52):
I've never heard you could do that.

Speaker 10 (01:12:53):
See unheard of.

Speaker 2 (01:12:57):
This right now, healthlines dot com, male linox. Everything tells
you you don't have us US d A. They're all saying,
don't wash the chicken.

Speaker 10 (01:13:07):
But she's right though.

Speaker 13 (01:13:09):
It is that slimy mess that you have to get out, especially.

Speaker 19 (01:13:12):
With dark pieces like a drumstick or die. You really
have to clean those pieces because it's a lot of
dark in there.

Speaker 13 (01:13:20):
So yeah, clinging me watch it all.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
Waters see Sierra, thank you, thank you you are having today?

Speaker 2 (01:13:31):
Bessy. I mean she's lived this long. Do you know her?

Speaker 23 (01:13:35):

Speaker 20 (01:13:35):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (01:13:37):

a chicken washer. Hi, Bessie?

Speaker 10 (01:13:46):

Speaker 2 (01:13:50):
It says Bessie.

Speaker 10 (01:13:52):
The e s s y my name wrong. Don't blame you, damn.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Buffy, Buffy, the vampires lay up in here. I don't know. Look,
I thought Paul.

Speaker 18 (01:14:04):
Layer, But yes, I am a chicken washer, yes all
the way.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (01:14:12):
What would happen? Buffy de man Slayer? What would happen.
If you just didn't wash the chicken and then you
just cooked it, nothing would happen.

Speaker 18 (01:14:20):
I wouldn't know because I wouldn't try it.

Speaker 10 (01:14:23):
I have to see.

Speaker 11 (01:14:24):
I live on a farm and I have chickens, and.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
They're gross.

Speaker 13 (01:14:29):
They're gross while they're alive, and that that goo and.

Speaker 19 (01:14:34):
The crap that comes on them when when you get
them from the store, that's gross too.

Speaker 9 (01:14:38):
You have to get the go off.

Speaker 2 (01:14:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:14:42):
I don't think I could raise chickens and eat the
same ones for a lot of reasons. One because i'd
probably be.

Speaker 19 (01:14:47):
Mine are just egg layers, yeah, layers, But they're gross.

Speaker 13 (01:14:51):
They are just they're gross creatures.

Speaker 11 (01:14:52):
There were some pigs.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Oh do you wash the egg? Don't you wash the
egg cell before you crack it? You don't. You don't
do that, you know, you have to know.

Speaker 18 (01:15:01):
Here's the thing, though, if you when you go out
and you grab the egg out of that chicken troop,
if you don't wash it right away, you can leave it.

Speaker 7 (01:15:08):
Sit on your countertop for a month. It's good until
you wash the film off of that egg.

Speaker 2 (01:15:15):
Yeah. I don't know. This is all a little to
textile for me. But this is another level bus. I'm
talking about the egg for the store.

Speaker 7 (01:15:20):
Yeah, excellent store. Come wash, that's why they're only good
for a month.

Speaker 2 (01:15:25):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 10 (01:15:28):
She owns chickens. She adds chickens for it.

Speaker 2 (01:15:32):
Look she I rest my case, case closed.

Speaker 3 (01:15:36):
The chicken lady spoke if you own a chicken, then
you know what the hell you're talking about, don't. I
don't think this problem is solved. He's the Freadsheel Good
Morning on the radio and the iHeart app as well.
Search for the Freadsheel on demand. You guys were just
talking off the air about trampoline's yes, and that reminds
me that that was one of a few toys that

(01:15:59):
my I guess you want to call it a toy
things that I mean, there were lots of things I
wanted as a kid. Every kid wants like a bunch
of stuff that they don't wind up getting, and I was.
My parents bought me a lot of crap. My sister
and I we got a lot of crap. Like they
were very generous with us. However, there were certain things
that we were not allowed to have and we were
not they were not doing it. A trampoline was one

(01:16:20):
of them. We were not doing it. They were not
going to allow it. My neighbor had one, so we'd
go over there, which, you know, just passed the liability
risk on to them. I think with my parents thing
like you know, hey, look you fall off that thing,
we'll just see them. It's fine. But it was the
same for you, Kitlin. Right, you weren't allowed to have
a trampoline at your house.

Speaker 5 (01:16:40):
Yeah, well my mom said I couldn't have one when
it was just my mom and I, but my wonderful
grandmother bought me one and installed it in my mom's backyard.

Speaker 10 (01:16:48):
Yes, yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:16:52):
They loved each other, but like she was like, okay, really,
how much my kid has this damn trampoline?

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
But remember I wanted a slingshot for some reason. They
sold him at like Target, one of those. It was
like you even know what I'm talking about. It was
like the black and had the arm brace on it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Yes, yes, that's the one, right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
I wanted one, and my parents were convinced that I
was going to shoot my sister with it, Like that's
really awful that you I don't know what I was
going to do with it, but it wasn't that, But
then there was always that kid. I'm not sure if
it was like this for you guys, there was always
that one kid that had everything that my parents wouldn't
buy me, Like he was the kid that like parents

(01:17:36):
didn't love him that much and so they bought him
a bunch of stuff or like they were never around.
Why you got to remember, Kiki, I went to private school,
so there were a lot of there were a lot
of interesting situations. And I don't know if it's the same.
I don't know if private public school matters. But wasn't
there always in every group that like rich kid whose
parents didn't seem to care that much.

Speaker 4 (01:17:55):
Well, I had a friend who her mom was never home,
so she always left her debit car, like she had
a debit and I'm like, what are you doing? We
were running up on her mom's credit card and just
take care of ourselves.

Speaker 10 (01:18:05):
So, yeah, it is that one friend.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
Yeah, but it was just I remember his name, his
name was Todd. Yeah, And I don't I don't mean
to say that his parents didn't love him. I don't
know that his parents didn't love him, but he always
had everything. He always he I've got it. I could
tell stories about Todd, but he always had everything, and
I wanted all the stuff that he had, and most
of it was dangerous and my parents wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:29):
Let me have it.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
He had one of those gas powered scooters. It looked
like a normal scooter, you know, with like the little
handlebars and the brakes and like that. You'd like use
like one foot to make it go fast, you know,
but his had a little gas engine on it and
he'd roll around in that. And I wasn't allowed to
have that. I wasn't allowed to have anything that would

(01:18:51):
hurt me, basically, But I don't know. For some reason,
the trampoline just resonated with me this morning, like I
really wanted a trampoline and my parents were not going
to do it. And then some kids, I guess their
parents like digging a hole in the ground the trampoline
in the hole. Yeah, right, so you at least fall
like ground level. When I would go back and forth
to my father's house, he would typically he bought the

(01:19:14):
sling shot because he just wanted to piss my mom off.
So like there wasn't there was a phase where I
could work them against each other like anything.

Speaker 2 (01:19:21):
My mom wouldn't do.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
He would do just to piss her off, and like
I knew that so sometimes, but I never he never
came and picked me up. So all the fun stuff
was over his house, but he never came to get me,
so I never to use any of it. Trauma, don't
feel bad.

Speaker 4 (01:19:43):
Yeah, I had a trampoline and couldn't even jump on it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:49):
So you know, I'm surprised the rich kid thing didn't
I'm sure the rich kid thing didn't resonate. Isn't there
a rich kid in every environment, at least one who
just for whatever reason, like his grandparents invented the Scotch
tape or something, And I don't know, you know what
I mean, Like I feel like every every friend group

(01:20:10):
has the one kid that like where all the money
come from, like had the better house and the bigger
pool and.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
The at least that was my experience growing up.

Speaker 5 (01:20:17):
But for us, it was like the parents who, like
Kiki said, who didn't care. Like my friend's mom Gail
was like so fun and wild, like we would have
parties there, she wouldn't be home a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
So that was what was clutch for us, Like a
house that we could you know, throw down out.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Always wanted to trampoline as a kid. Someone texted, now
that I have kids, they finally have one.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:20:38):
I mean I understood why we didn't have one. I
just really wanted one. Also dangerous too though for kids. Right, well,
that's the thing. We had a big ass pool in
the bag. I guess that was okay, but I don't anyway,
I'm morning everybody, clutch, you're here Klein's you're high, Hi,
Chasing Brown, Good morning, Hi. I would have thought you

(01:20:58):
would have had everything because you were only child. Yeah,
everything but a trampoline.

Speaker 15 (01:21:03):
I too, saw the trampoline every Sunday at Sam's Club
and wanted it. And then it was right under the exit,
so you walked out and it was like you were like, wow,
I wish my yard is at a complete slant. So
that was always like the excuse, like our lawn isn't
you know, even like you know, sprinkler right, my sprinkler out.

Speaker 3 (01:21:25):
Of my pool? Yeah they did have a pool. Yeah, yeah,
I mean we did some really stupid stuff that my
parents didn't like. Like we'd like put a slipping slide
and and and line that up with the pool, and
I mean I jump off buckets to be able to
dunk on my friend's basketball. We did some really dumb stuff,
but tramline was out of the question for whatever reason.
And now I feel like, if I have a yard,

(01:21:47):
I'm gonna put a trampoline out there, just cause if
one would fit on my balcony in my apartment right now,
I would put a trampoline out there, just just cud,
just because I can.

Speaker 15 (01:21:57):
The fread show is on Friend's fund.

Speaker 3 (01:22:01):
Fun so bad, Learn so much, guys, Shelley, Yes, did
you know that there is a lake? Have you ever
been in Australia? No, there is a lake in Australia

(01:22:22):
that is bright pink in color. The lake itself is
bright pink. Have you ever seen this thing? No, you've
been in Australia. New you ever loved the country?

Speaker 6 (01:22:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:22:34):
Where you been.

Speaker 10 (01:22:36):
Mexico?

Speaker 2 (01:22:37):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
You about to go to turch and Caico's on a vacation.
I heard you had little attitude in the hallway about
that too, that you've been taking. You take a vacation
while the rest of us work. I heard there's a
little tune about that. No, no, no, no too, there's
a little too just learning those days while the rest
of us just slave away, noting days, just work, you know. Yeah,
we'll say before a tangent or something.

Speaker 13 (01:23:02):
Later.

Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
If I don't know if you heard the segment where
we discussed your use of vacation days, but if you
heard it, then you would know that some of us
in the room, myself included, said use every single day.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:23:14):
I've never been the girls who used every single use
every single I'm working on it.

Speaker 2 (01:23:19):
I want to use every single day.

Speaker 10 (01:23:20):
I don't think I could use every single day.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
I mean it's we usually use them in tandem so
that we're not just flailing without you on the program.
But that's fine, go ahead, just will flail.

Speaker 2 (01:23:29):
That's all right.

Speaker 4 (01:23:30):
In my defense, I asked before I booked this, and
I was advised that it was fine.

Speaker 10 (01:23:35):
But I didn't know. I'm new here. I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (01:23:37):
Use every damn day, okay, and and and maybe some
extra ones that you don't have to use those two.

Speaker 2 (01:23:44):
I'm fine with that. No, how worry about it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
I remember this is you're going with your brother, right, Yeah,
my brother and sister law keeping up with the Joges, right,
they can't my riches.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Oh wow, that honey's doing. They money baby. Yeah, no,
I say, use every day and then a few that
you don't have. As far as I'm there, I've been
doing this for I haven't been getting paid. Oh my god,
I feel so old. For twenty two years, get paid
to do this twenty six, twenty seven, I can stop it.

(01:24:27):
And I would bet for twenty five of those years,
I didn't take half my vacation days because I was
I was convinced that if I left, they'd fire me too.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
I'm still convinced, but now I'm just like, screw, go ahead,
because I need a vacation, right. I will give it
to our boss. Like he will say people on the
show and be like, have they taken a vacation? Are
they going to take a Like? He's great about it.
He's never once asked if I took a vac He
does not chick.

Speaker 26 (01:24:49):
He's likes on vacation again, then each other and do
a group of hots Lake. What about a brand Lake
that I'll see on my vacation?

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
Me too, Because I'll tell you I just decided I
got some days. I'm a little sick. I have four
years of six days from this company, and I intend
to use them all, no matter how bad you are geography,
you'll be able to identify Western Australia's Hillier Lake by sight.
That's because the water in the lake is an unmistakable
pink color. Scientists are not entirely sure why it's pink,
but they suspect that a combination of micro algae in

(01:25:27):
the water and bacteria in the salt crust form the color.
The lake is too salty to support any life bigger
than algae, but it is safe to swim in, but
you have to be quite the dedicated swimmer because the
island is only accessible by airplane and cruise ship. But
that would be cool. That would be cool to go
swimming around on a pink lake.

Speaker 10 (01:25:46):
Is the photos that I would take?

Speaker 7 (01:25:48):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:25:48):
Oh my god, the riz on that?

Speaker 10 (01:25:50):
Come on?

Speaker 6 (01:25:51):
Yeah?
