then you don't have a choice.

Speaker 5 (10:28):
Pretty much.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Okay, all right, so that was everyone for the weekend.
Then right, let me continue with my trending stories. I
was just curious why everybody was so loopy. I thought
it would just be Jason and me, but no, it's everybody.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
You want to know the new way that supposely this
is the new way the kids are getting high and
it's trending today. Kids across the country have turned a
galaxy gas to get high. The whipped cream chargers are
sold at the Atlanta based company at Atlanta based company.
Are they're intended for culinary uses only. Isn't this the
same as whippets? Yeah, from Starbucks. That's why they got
rid of those things, or calling them something else. Now

(11:03):
though kids are buying them, and once the canister is empty,
they're using them to get high on the nitrous oxide
that's emitted. Even though the galaxy gas isn't meant for
kids to get high. Okay, the different flavors available can
be appealing to them.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
To these kids.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Parents are told that some of the warning signs to
look out for include empty canisters.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Okay laughs. Oh no, this is a room. We're all
galaxy gas.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Have a bizarre euphoric mood or an unusual preference to
be alone.

Speaker 7 (11:37):
I mean, once you find the canister, I think you
don't need any other signs.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Yeah, you know these.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Empty bottles, they're probably What are.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
All these empty canisters doing here? Is this a warning sign?

Speaker 7 (11:51):
No, it's a science to I love the gen Z things.
They invented whippets.

Speaker 5 (11:54):
I can't anymore.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Oh man, No, that's what it feels like, right, okay.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Elon Musk says that SpaceX plans to launch five starships
to Mars in the next two years, five uncrewed starships
to Mars. If all of them land safely, then crewd
missions are possible in the next four years. He also
said that the American spacecraft manufacturer does encounter challenges, crude
missions would be postponed about another two years. He said

(12:22):
that it's only possible to travel from Earth to Mars
every two years because that's where the planets are aligned.
He says, no matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX
will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially
in every transit opportunity.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Remember that we've talked about this.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
They have a way to get there, they just haven't
figured out how to get back yet. And that concerns
me a little bit, as you know, a potential traveler,
because I like a round trip ticket and so I
prefer most of the time to come back to where
I started. And now you're telling me I can go,
but I don't get to come back. And we've also
discussed over the past couple of years this has been

(13:01):
this has.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Been brought up.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
How do you feel if someone in your life says, yeah,
I'm going on SpaceX to Mars, because what they're saying
to you, is I don't ever want to come back
to you?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Like, how would you feel about that? You know?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Are you saying to your partner like, wow, you are
a true patriot, you are a true revolutionary. You're willing
to go where no one's ever gone before and you
don't even know you're willing to accept all of the risk.
Or are you saying, damn, you hate me that much
that you want to go to Mars and never come back.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
Did you hear we're getting a new moon on the
twenty ninth?

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I no, I did not hear that.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
You did?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
No?

Speaker 7 (13:39):
Okay, well we're going to we're about to have two moons.

Speaker 10 (13:43):
To astronauts is going to drop their pants up there.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
This man.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Anyway, So sorry about that. No, we know their names.
It was still a dad joke. So what what calen,
go ahead, please educate.

Speaker 7 (14:00):
Yeah, so we're they're calling it a mini moon and
we literally will have two moons. It's a near Earth
asteroid that's going to, you know, pull up on the
twenty ninth, so just look out for that.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Okay, right, Well, you don't have to go one way
to Mars if you want to see it.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
But one way to Mars from a SpaceX X toll.
It takes about one hundred and fifteen days. Kevin, I
think the problem was they don't have the fuel or
something like. It was that they could get it there,
but then they don't have any supplies on Mars to
get you back.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Was part of the problem. Or they you know, they
have enough.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Fuel to get one way, but get yeah, right, like
the I don't know the chevron station on Mars is
out or something. I don't I don't know what's going on,
but uh, you know, I don't know. I might trust
I might trust SpaceX to do this, but if I'm
butchering Staneita up there and then the Boeing ship, I
might be like, yeah, no, you can get to us,

(14:53):
and we're still not coming home until February. So imagine
a place where you can get to us. Popular Halloween
costumes this year, you guys ready, yes, because we're from
mean October is just around the corner. So you've got Beetlejuice, Deadpool,

the hot list for Halloween.

National Teal Talk Day for Ovarian cancer awareness, National pot
Pie Day, Restless leg Awareness Day, Celebrate Bisexuality Day, and
Energize Day to relax and rejuvenate.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
So I could use some of that those.

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Today.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Let's see. Well, yeah, exactly, I could use some of that.
After the first thirty six minutes of this show. The
entertainber of Port Taylor has that next in three minutes,
blogs this hour, new wedding by the Phone is coming up,
Moniven Shelby, Chillian Moore.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
It's the Front Show. It's Kiki's courting all right.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
So all rise, the Honorable Kikhalik is here. Just Kiki,
please take.

Speaker 9 (17:21):
It away, all right, let's get in the courtroom. The
gabble has been hit, it says HEIKIKEI. My name is Maria.
I'm sending you this because I've hit a rough patch
with my best friends. For the last few years. I've
been the only single, childless friend in the group. All
of my best friends are either married or have kids
or both. Over the years, I've spent thousands of dollars

(17:44):
on my friends, their kids and their milestones. I've paid
for bachelorette parties, weddings, baby showers, baptisms and so on.
And I feel like, even though I'm not getting married
or having a baby. My milestone should be celebrated too.
For example, I recently got out of a toxic two
year relationship and I decided to plan a trip to

(18:05):
celebrate this milestone. It hurt me to see that my
friends aren't taking it serious at all. One of them
even responded in our group chat saying that I can't
seriously expect people to take a trip because I had
a breakup. She also said people have real life stuff
going on and to expect them to pay for a
trip and take time away from their families is insane.

Speaker 5 (18:26):
Yeah, Kiki, that really hurt me. What should I do?

Speaker 7 (18:31):
I feel her, and I considered taking a bachelorette with
my best friend Hillary just to make my friends pay
because I've paid for them.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
Come on now, so I feel her as you should.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah what do you think I mean?

Speaker 9 (18:41):
Well, first off, girl, you gotta go on your trip.
Go on your trip. I don't care who comes along.
Go on your trip because as a single, childless person
in my family, Okay, I have learned. You got to
live for you. You gotta do what's best for you. You
have to live for you, and I do think you
should speak up and tell your friends how this is
making you feel, because some people just don't know. They
just live life and they just feel like, you know,

(19:03):
whatever is happening in their life is what is sufficient.
And that's not always true. But I do think even
with my friends who are married and have kids, I
do extend extend them a little extra grace because they
don't have the freedom to just get up and book
a trip when I want to go somewhere. They don't
have the freedom to just go. Do you know some
things that I still have the freedom to do. Uh,

(19:24):
So it works both ways. And I think as a
good friend, you will consider your single friends like you
will still be like, you know, what she has paid
for bachelorette party, she has been there for my weddings
and my kids' birthdays. If she wants to go on
a trip, let me sacrifice or do what I can
to make her feel.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, Tiki that I do agree with that.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
As a guy who is always the single guy and
always seems to be you know, I've been to everybody
else's at least first wedding, if not second in some
cases second wedding already. I've been to all their kids.
I've been to you know all of that. But so
that part I get. But just because I break up
with somebody and want and want to go on a
trip does not mean that everybody has. That is not
the same as getting married. That is not the same

(20:10):
as my kids bar mitzvah. Okay, I'm sorry, but like
if the whole world isn't willing to drop everything to
go to Cabo with you because you just broke up
with somebody, I'm sorry, but that is not the same
as coming to my wedding.

Speaker 9 (20:24):
It's not It's not the same. But why do we
have to compare? You know, like I've been there for you,
just be there for me. I may never get married,
Okay it's looking rough. I may never have a baby,
you know, but I still deserve to be celebrated as
somebody who is special in your life. And I feel
like we can't compare because there is no comparison to grandkids.

(20:47):
Like in my family, my brothers have given grandchildren. I
don't care if I want to, if I was an egot,
I want a great you know.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
What I meant radio music award.

Speaker 9 (20:57):
Yeah, never compare to given the family grandchildren, you know,
but it's not fair to make me compare to that,
it's just you celebrate my wins.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
I celebrate your leaving a toxic relationship as hard as hell.
That is a win. That is a milestone.

Speaker 6 (21:10):
And like, even though I'm married and have kids, like
I still feel like I want.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
To celebrate your milestones.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
If when Caylen buys her house or condo, whatever you
end up buying, I'm going to celebrate that for you.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
You'll be ninety seven, I'll be eightyl I'll be eighty
five years old. That's okay. And my friend Tatia, I
hold the podcast with her.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
She has no kids, she's childless, and she's not married,
but she's getting herror PhD.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Come on, yes, she has a masking with you.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Guys. You're talking about a house. You're talking about a PhD.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
You're talking about a wedding and a child, right, not
talking about I just got dumped. Let's go on vacation
for a week, because that's not that's not necessarily feasible.
I mean, trust me, even if even if I were
getting let's say we're getting married next weekend or in
two weeks, right, and I said, guys, I'm getting married,
it would be a huge ask of all of you

(21:54):
and most people in my life to figure out how
to get there in two weeks.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Then that's what we're talking about on a breakup trip,
we're talking about. I don't even think it's the fact
that they don't want to support her. I think it's
the fact that single people, and I'm one of them,
have to understand and it's frustrating that it takes a
little more effort to get stuff done in a relationship
when there's another person involved, and there's kids and all
the rest of it. So like you guys are citing

(22:18):
graduations and all these big milestones that we have months
of advance for advanced notice of, and that are like
conventionally bigger deals. But I don't think she can just
disown all of her friends or thinks she's not getting
a fair deal because they won't drop everything to go
on a vacation that maybe they can't afford, that they
can't justify that they can't get coverage for. I mean,

(22:39):
I mean, when's the last time you tried to plan
a vaci Look at this role, I say, yeah, you know,
we've got married people, We've got people in relationships, we
have people with kids, We have people with, you know,
various work schedules and obligations. It takes it takes weeks
and weeks and weeks to get everyone together at one
time because everyone's got different sequal on. So, like, it
better be a big deal if you're asking me to

(23:00):
get a babysitter for my kids for a week.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
So if you plan it in advance, is it okay
to celebrate?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Yeah, I think that's better. Okay, yeah, that's better. But
that's but I don't think that. That doesn't sound like
that's what's going on. It sounds like she's like, I
broke up with somebody. Now I have no obligations. I
want to pick up and go somewhere. Look that's me, right,
that's my life. If I want to go to Bermuda tomorrow,
I can do. I don't have to ask anybody. But
I can't get mad at my friends if they all
can't drop everything and go with me.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
And you also can't compare it to my kid's birth.
Oh god, it's bro.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
I may never give birth, so like, let me have
a win, celebrate me bro birth.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
Single and bachelorettes are not necessary, by the way, So
like we can't compare that to a childbirth A bachelorette
is like, we could do without it, we just do
it because we love you.

Speaker 5 (23:48):
So that's not something that you have to do either.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Fair Well, I'm curious eight five five, five nine one
three five whether you're the single person like like Camlin
has been for a long time. She's a boyfriend now.
But and I am. I mean, I do feel like
I get left out of a lot of the family
oriented stuff in my friends' lives because I'm the only
one who, you know, isn't married and doesn't have kids.
And when I what I ask about it, they say, well, dude,

(24:12):
I wouldn't think you'd want to come to that, you know.
And it's like, well, I don't really want to come
to that, but if that's the only way that I
get to see all of you at once, because that's
how you're all getting together, is you know, one of
your kid's birthday parties or whatever, well then I'm going
to go. But like I guess, I can't expect people
who have multiple lives they're responsible for and multiple lives

(24:33):
they have to work around to be as flexible with
things as I can be. And trust me, it's frustrating.
And I do think that sometimes, you know, people in
relationships have to stretch a little bit more than they're
willing to. But I can't expect them to do it
at the drop of a hat. I don't think that's realistic.

Speaker 9 (24:49):
Well that's true, And somebody texts and say, what if
she has a breakup every two years, and now that's
a good point to trip every time.

Speaker 6 (24:55):
You leave a know, of course that's sound a toxic though,
and I want her for leaving.

Speaker 8 (25:01):
Well.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I also think, like I do think that there are
times where you have to stand up in your relationship
and say, hey, this is important to Fred, or this
is important to somebody, and I gotta do it. But like,
at the same time, imagine going home and trying to
justify to your husband or wife, Hey, sorry, I gotta
go to kankun next week because well Fred got dumped.
I'm sorry. Like, to me, that's a big deal. To me,

(25:21):
it makes perfect sense. But honestly, try and slide that
one through the board of directors because it's probably not
going to happen. I mean, realistically, it's not going to
Just wait, let me get this straight. You want me
to watch the kids for a week. You want to
take a week off vacation. You're not gonna go to
work for a week so that you can go do it. Unfortunately,
even if it does mean something to me, I don't

(25:43):
know how flexible a lot of people are going to
be for something like that, especially if they're not invited.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (25:50):
My best friend has two little girls and she's in
Singapore right now, simply because one of our friends is
working there for a month and her husband's with the kids.
That they lay out their calendar at the beginning of
each year and say, guys weekend, girls weekend.

Speaker 5 (26:01):
We can tag team this. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (26:03):
If you're a good friend, you'll be there if it
means something to someone, if you can.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
That's what I think.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Well, I guess I'm just I try and be sympathetic
to the fact that my life is a little bit
easier to manage in some ways. Uh then his others,
and I try not to be disappointed when my friends
can't necessarily match the energy. But I also hear on
the other side, hey, what if I never get married?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
What you know? I want?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I want something all about me. But I think the
key is maybe just planning it, but hey, Melissa, Hi, Hi,
Hey Melissa, good morning. What do you want to say?
And Kiki's cord.

Speaker 8 (26:43):
My thing is, what if what if you go on
the trip?

Speaker 4 (26:45):
What if you do whatever you have to do to
make it and go on the trip and then they
get back together?

Speaker 5 (26:50):
Oh wow, it is toxic you right, which you're trying
to have a nice trip?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, I just are you married, Melissa?

Speaker 4 (27:03):
I am?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
How easy would it be for you?

Speaker 2 (27:05):
And it may be really easy, but how easy would
it be for you to just go to your husband
and go, hey, look, so once and I are going
on a vacation basically, and you're not invited, and we're
going here pretty soon because we're celebrating a breakup.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
You know, would that go over? Okay?

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Oh no, definitely not. Definitely a lot of planning to
go behind.

Speaker 5 (27:24):
Especially they have a daughter, so we gotta.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Tack that drop off.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
It's just a lot, and I recognize it. It's a lot. Melissa,
Thank you, have a good day. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Let me see here, Mary Jay him, Mary Jay, good morning,
good morning, my.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Hand grad Hey, Peki hikay. I kind of think that
girlfriends need to find some more friends.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Okay she's single.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
She's not really, you know, they're kind of like laughing
at her. Oh she's you know, she's just you know,
she's no kids, no husband. Or just get some single friends.
Don't be you know, sad, and just get single friends,
because hey, we're living it up anyway.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Okay, we're not.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
We're not committed to anything, which is good and bad. Okay,
just get some single friends. Don't worry about it. Like
you said, can you keep going the truth? I went
this year for my birthday. I did everything alone this year.
Oh no, I mean they just hope. You know, it's okay,
you know, it's not that bad. Just find some single
friends half of us?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Thank you? Mary Jay?

Speaker 5 (28:28):
All right, I'm Mary Jay.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
We'll go like, yeah, you call me. I'm always down
to go.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
I just I recognize that it's just part of the
deal that my friends aren't that flexible.

Speaker 10 (28:39):
But you know that's like as a married person with kids,
like do you invite those friends out? Like you know
what I'm saying, That's what I feel like I miss out.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
On a lot.

Speaker 10 (28:50):
Is like, yeah, I have friends that don't even contact
me anymore because they know I'm married with kids. So
so they know I don't have time, but there's never
an invite anymore. I just see it on social media, like, oh,
they just did this and I didn't get an invite
for it, you.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Know, And that doesn't feel good, No, it does, not know.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
And also too, I feel like just because you have
kids and you're married or whatever, like I know a
lot of single people who are twenty times busier than me,
you know what I mean. I'm like, dang, going either
to can't cool? Like I try and bite them off
for dinner. It takes three months, yes, and they're not
even no kids?

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Nothing right, geeh.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I find that I do a lot of stuff by
myself because I'm tired of waiting for other people to
do it with me, or because it doesn't work, or
because whatever.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I mean.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
But you're right, I guess I don't call my married
friends that often because I don't plan. And I know
that about myself, Like if I know, if I want
to make a plan for three weeks from now, then
I'll call them and it'll probably happen. But I don't
really do that. I don't I'm thinking about this weekend now,
you know what I mean? And I don't know or
maybe Friday. I'm like, I want to go do this

(29:47):
if I call my married friends for the most part
and go, what are you doing right now? Like they
can't just drop everything and come hang out with me
the way that they used to. And I've just had
to accept that it's just the way that it is.
You never know unless you ask, that's a that's my keys.
It's like you just assume he's busy.

Speaker 10 (30:02):
The answer might always be, Hey, I can't because I'm busy,
But it doesn't hurt to ask that.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
That gets tiring, right.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Exactly exactly the same way that the same way that
I understand why people don't ask me to do stuff
a lot of times because I say no, is the
same reason I don't call a lot of them a
lot of times because they say no and so and
so I'm with you, Kalin, like it's it's like, how
many times do I have to how many times?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Why?

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I know you're the busier one, so you probably need
to tell me the next time you can hang out.

Speaker 10 (30:28):
But that conversation could also lead to some something planned
in the future. You know what I'm saying, not just
the spontaneous hey, I gotta I'm for you this weekend.
Like if that friend says, no, I got you know,
soccer practice with the kids. But hey, next week and
I'm free, that conversation could happen where you guys could
actually hang.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Out in the future.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, that's assuming I'm gonna plan, which I'm not cal
What did you want to say me?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (30:53):
Oh sorry, I thought I don't know if you're going
to call her? That was what I was saying that.
It just gets really tiring. I stop asking those people
that's saying all the time, just because and then if
you want to go you can reciprocate. I mean, like,
you know, you can hit me up too. But after
I get like a few no's, I'm like, I'm tired
of you know. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Yeah, so you're a fellow superson and you get over it,
do you think?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
And I think I do too. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (31:20):
Yeah, I'm overlooked a lot because I'm single, and what
I find myself doing is showing up to so much
stuff for my friends. They have things, like you say,
at all of those events, and I have nothing. So
when I do have something, I expect you to be there,
no matter how small it may be to you. Yes,
because I know you guys mentioned like what if you
break up again in two years, what if they get divorced,
I'd have made time to come to that wedding period.

(31:42):
So it's just all and even with my birthday because
I'm a Christmas baby, you know, I hear, oh I
got the kids and the kids gifts.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
It's like, that doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (31:50):
I came to your son a birthday. You have to
show up for your friends no matter what. That's their Mouthstone.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yep, I agree.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
I think a trip, a last minute trip, was kind
of what it sounded like Kiki was describing. I think
that's a different kind of ask than than coming to
my birthday party that you know is happening every year,
you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Like, I think that's that's nobody.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
If you've got to go to everybody else's birthday party
and they're not coming to yours, that's messed up. But
if you're not going to go on my little you know,
uh whatever, break up fast this weekend.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
It's a big moment. What I allow myself doing.

Speaker 8 (32:27):
Look what I tell myself doing something forget make myself
feel better about all this is I teak in truth.
What I go to I don't go to everything anymore,
and that makes me feel okay, So I don't go
to every little thing that they have. I don't go.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Alright, you are no. I think that's and I tend
to be the same way. Have a great day.

Speaker 8 (32:46):
Thank you, guy.

Speaker 9 (32:47):
I love you.

Speaker 2 (32:49):
I love you too, love you too. All right, Well,
there you have it problem. I mean, I I do
think your relationship has a been unconventional though, because I
kind of think you just tell tim what you're gonna do,
and that's what happened. I don't think that's necessarily how
everybody's is. And then once you have kids, you can't
really do that. And here here, I'm a guy. I'm

(33:09):
a guy with no kids, and I'm and it's frustrating,
but I have to respect it because it's true.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yeah, but it's all about being a good friend.

Speaker 9 (33:16):
Are you a good friend or not, whether I have
kids or not, whether I got a dog or not
a cat. Like, if I need you to support me
and you have the opportunity to support me, just return
the energy because I've supported you through everything and whether
how like you said, no matter how small it is
to you, it's big to me. And I don't ask
for a lot, so can you just make the sacrifice

(33:38):
to support me.

Speaker 5 (33:39):
I'm already out here single, right.

Speaker 9 (33:41):
I mean?

Speaker 7 (33:41):
And then we got gender reveals, which like you gotta
be excited either way, no matter the gender.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
You know that's not necessary either, But I'm going to
that a new thing, Baby show. We're having a party.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
It's like, oh, a crap, I think three of your
whatever parties equal one of my single fest in can't country.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
Let's go right now more.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
Fred Show, next, Fred's fun fact, Fred.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Learn so much. I will say this.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
I've been thinking about Keiki's court during the break, and
I will make one statement as a single guy, just
because I'm single does not mean that I should be
expected to be at everything slash be available to do
everything that everybody who's in a relationship or has a
kid doesn't want to do. I have found this over
the years at work. It's oh, I can't do that.

(34:45):
I have a kid, but Fred doesn't. And it's like
every single time it's well, I have a kid, I
can't do it, but Fred does, or but Fred can.
Because it's like now hold on a minute, you know,
like I get it, there are gonna be a lot
of things that you can't do because you need more time,
or because you know your family comes first or whatever.
But if you're a single person driving to work right now,

(35:06):
or an unmarried or or a childless person, you know it.
It's been like, well, well, so and so can cover
it because you know whatever. But when you do every
single time, it's like no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
You chose to have a kid, all right.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
And I understand that, like I need to show some
grace as somebody who has a little more flexibility, but
not every single time. And the other thing is if
you're gonna have a you know, bar mitzvah and a
brisk and uh, hopefully.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
Not at the same day, and uh, you.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
Know birthday parties for everything and and and this religious
ceremony and this celebration and the kid lost its first too,
and then the thing and whatever. You can't expect everyone
to come to everything either. Like if you're gonna have
a party for every single milestone, that's wonderful, but somewhat
eventually someone's not gonna be able to come to everything,
and you can't take that personally.

Speaker 9 (35:54):
I agree that more we just happen to tell each
other grace. Single people, married people just have a brace
for your friends.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
And it sounds like nobody's really winning here either, not
that it was a competition, but it's just like it
seems like both both parties have their own issues of
you know you can make it, you don't.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
You just do the best you can.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Period.

Speaker 7 (36:12):
I mean it's like when you're not a smoker and smokers,
you know what, you're working your bar shift or whatever,
and smokers get all these breaks because they go out
back and have a cigarette.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
You know, is a good point, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I never thought what if I just want to go
in the parking lines, can alone right cigarette.

Speaker 10 (36:26):
Using exactly cosmic gas or whatever?

Speaker 1 (36:32):
How do you know? How do you know if your
kid is doing cosmic gas? Look in the.

Speaker 7 (36:36):
Trash they're high.

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Okay, yeah you know it's it's it's parenting tips like
that right here on the Fresh Show. Here's your fun fact.
Did you know that, except for the tiny muscles around
hair follicles, you actually have no muscles in your fingers?
The muscles that control your fingers are in your palm
and forearm like your fingers.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
No muscles. Wow? Did you know that?

Speaker 5 (37:04):
No idea?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yeah, I'll go take a smoke break and think about
it

Speaker 1 (37:11):
More fresh show next
