Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's a fresh show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
And this is what's trending, all right, guys, the stories
about the hurricane and the cleanup. I mean, it's just unfortunately,
it's every day it seems like a new challenge. One
hundred and sixty two people have died, many more missing
as communities work to clean up Hurricane Helene's catastrophic damage.
Six days after the storm hit, residency in North Carolina

(00:24):
are still struggling to access necessities like.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
Food and water.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Thousands are without power, and travel remains dangerous with hundreds
of roads closed. President Joe Biden's expected to fly over Ashville,
where the damage from Helene was so severely narrowed.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Has so Seville narrowed access.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
To the city that his motorcate can't make it it,
I have to ask, Probably not his idea. I'm sure
he wants to see the devastation. Is that really know
what people want to see? And I don't care what
politician it is, because other politicians have done this before.
I think they did it during Katrina as well. They
fly Air Force one over it so the president can
look out the window and see how bad it is, Like,
can't we show him some pig like I feel like

(01:01):
that's insensitive.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Unless he's on the ground. Yeah, I mean, well he's not.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
They're saying that the motor kid can't make it in
so they can't properly protect him, so they're just gonna
fly over and Air Force one. Yeah, that's kind of low.
So he can see it. I feel like we can
show him some videos or something like this. It's terrible,
and I don't know, maybe for some reason he needs
to see it himself, but I don't know that if
I'm on the ground cleaning up damage from what remains

(01:26):
of whatever I have, that I want to look up
and see, you know, Air Force one flying over and
however much that costs to do, I don't know. I
don't necessarily love that, but I'm you know, it's been
done before, so I'm not necessarily blaming it on any
one person.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
But how about we just when.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
He can come, he can come in the meantime, send
all the money that you were going to spend to
fly Air Force one and all the security that you
needed to be on the ground, Send all that money
to FEMA, and then they can show up and save
the day.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Elon Musk is doing something nice. He's deploying more Starlinks
to western North Carolina. Tesla and space X founder Elon
Musk has agreed to send dozens of Starlink receivers and
terminals to western North Carolina to help residents regain access
to the internet. The portable devices can be used in
a variety of settings, including homes and boats. The effort

(02:14):
has been spearheaded by a North Carolina state senator. Musk
then responded by saying that SpaceX will send as many
terminals as possible to the areas in need. FEMA has
sent several to the area already to assist emergency responders.
That's a big thing is so many people are missing
because they don't have access to the Internet or any
form of communication, so we don't know if they're not

(02:35):
okay or if they're just not able to tell anyone.
Here's a person who's not getting any sympathy from us today.
You want to know why you should be pissed. Not
the Macharina, No, no, no, it's this person. Hurricane Helene
has devastated many parts of North Carolina, of course, but
yet a woman complained online that her Airbnb in Asheville
is refusing to refund her stay in the wake of

(02:57):
a massive tragedy. She was supposed to runs an airbn
right now for vacation. She can't get her money back.
That is tragic. I am so upset about that. This woman,
her name is Chelsea. I believe we booked a mountain
vacation not knowing that a hurricane was going to come
and destroy the little town that we're supposed to be
going to, and we can't get refunded.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
And she made a video about this.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
We're still expected to go on this trip, not knowing
if there's damage to the property, not knowing if the
place is even accessible, not knowing if surrounding events and
attractions are going to be up and running. You pay
X amount of dollars to go on vacation with friends
or family, and you expect to have a vacation, not
to try and figure out your way around barricades. I mean,
do you think that anyone involved with that wants barricades

(03:42):
or any of This is now the time to go
online and complain that you're not getting your money back
from anything in that reach. I'm sorry, I mean it's
very unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yeah, no, girl, this is not the time right put
it in a draft folder. Yes, yeah, you didn't need
to post it.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
She admitted that she lives in eastern North Carolina, which
isn't wasn't hit quite as hard as other parts of
the state, including her vacation destination, but as opposed to
showing sympathy or understanding, she made it about herself. In
a seemingly self centered video. One person wrote, people are dead,
homes or lost cars, loss clothing, pats keepsakes, photo albums,

(04:18):
memories gone, and you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
This Airbnb should donate her money to the relief fund.
I mean, I get it.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I think we've probably all been in a situation where
we wanted a refund for something and we couldn't get it.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
But just how about keep it to yourself?

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Not great.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
There was a president a vice presidential debate last night.
I did watch. I gotta be honest with you. I
was born because it was civil. It was civil and
on point, and I was bored and they were. They
were even kind of nice to each other. I know,
they sort of. I have to be honest. I don't
care which person you like better or agree with better.
They I thought they both did a pretty good job.

(04:53):
I thought they both made their points. I thought what
they did that was so important is they both knowledge.
In fact, Jennie Vance did a really nice job of
this acknowledging when when Tim Walls was right about something
or when they agreed on something, because that's the part
of this that we all seem to be forgetting.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Is it.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican or an independent
or whatever you are, there are a lot of points
that many people agree on. You know, maybe you have
a different opinion on immigration, but you agree on reproductive rights.
But instead what happens is, oh, you're gonna vote for
this person and vote for that person. I'm in my corner,
you're in your corner, and we're not even gonna talk

(05:33):
about it. Or worse, you know, bad words and evil
names and friendships end and the whole thing. But what
you realize is that last night, when you watch these two,
it was relatively civil. It was to the point and
when they when they had points in common, they acknowledge
they had points in common because there were several.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
So I don't know, maybe can you believe it?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
We saw something political in this country where I say,
you know, that's the kind of discourse that should be had.
We don't have to agree on every single thing. We
agree with a lot of things. Amazing.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
I was like, my jaw was on the floor.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
It was wild.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
The girls were not fighting, no, no.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
And there were times you know what, I agree with
you on.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
That it was like what I know, or they showed
like empathy to the other one.

Speaker 3 (06:15):
Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you experienced it. I was like,
oh my god, what country am I in?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Like, it seemed like those guys, while they don't agree
on very many I mean they were. There were points
they agree on, there were many points they didn't, but
it almost seemed like at the end they were going
to go have a beer, like you.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
And I just don't know why that can't be the case.
I understand that people you know, have extremely strong opinions
on certain issues or certain issues resonate with them more
than others, but like, my.

Speaker 6 (06:38):
God, it's I mean, it starts with them to you know,
show everyone else that you can do it that way.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
So I feel like I wish all of them played
like that.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Yeah, the smash Tailor swift guitar that I told you
about yesterday, he is on a eBay in case you
wanted it. With a starting bit of one hundred bucks,
I would probably buy it. I think it's kind of funny.
I mean, I'm not gonna be able to afford it.
A seller bought the guitar at a charity auction for
four thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
I guess it was hers.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Then he proceeded to smash it with a hammer in
a video that's gone viral. I think that's funny. Like,
if I could get it cheap, i'd buy it, like
hanging up on my wall. People be like, what is
that smash guitar? And then you tell the story. Well,
there's some moron smash Taylor Swift played that, but some
more on smash it, and now I haven't I'm sure
it won't go for one hundred bucks. Though apparently Taylor
did not sign it. However, i'd probably get her to

(07:25):
sign it too, be like, hey, some moron bought your
guitar and smash it. Sign it, you know, because Taylor
and I I have access to tailor.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Like is it that easy?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah? No, I just I just hit her up. But
you know, people buy all kinds of crazy memorabilia. That
would be kind of funny to have a smash guitar
on their wall and you put it behind like plexiglass.
You'll make it look like it's in a museum or something.
Because I wonder sometimes what people are gonna do with
half this stuff, Like when you buy this stuff, do
you like when you buy the Star Wars I don't
even know what. I don't even Darth Vader helmet helmet thing.

(07:55):
I mean, that's cool, that's very cool. I guess I
don't know about Star Wars, But like, what do you do?
Do you put it on a pedestal, like under a
case and then people come into your home like a
museum and look at it and you go, hey, look
what I have. I'm not sure, Like do you bolt
it down so that no one can steal it? I
don't know what do you do with something like that?
I mean, I realize you probably buy it as an investment.
You can sell it later, But what are you gonna
do in the meantime? Do you have anything, Jason, Do

(08:18):
you have anything like truly collectible, like anything that people
really want?

Speaker 7 (08:22):
No, but my mom has like a piece of the
actual like original film from Beauty and the Beast, Like wow,
Like my dad got a far because she's that's like
your favorite movie and it's like framed in this really
nice thing and hangs on the wall. So I don't
think she's ever gonna sell it, but she just thinks
it's cool to have.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Like, you know, I get art, it hangs in the wall,
doesn't really it's like sort of like flush with the
wall doesn't really get in the way of things. But
I don't know what you do, like if you've got stuff,
unless you want to make your house with like a museum,
which I maybe, No, that's true.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
Because I have you ever been to a concert when
they throw something out like a towel or a t shirt?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Uh huh, I've caught one. But what do I do
with it?

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Well, I know what you've done with the Omari on towel,
and I can't really talk about that right now.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Well, that's different.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
You thought Makarena was offensive, what you've done with that
omrion there's no no longer is there any Omarian DNA
on that tower?

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I got no no no. If you yeah, it was
to wasn't No, it.

Speaker 4 (09:16):
Wasn't And I'm actually scared to say it, but it
was from Diddy. Oh it was a towel, like, I mean,
it had rock like a logo on it, and I
realized that when you brought this up, Like, wow, I
still have that, but I don't know what to do
with that.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Yeah, are any people that have signed models by him?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
And they're like what do I do?

Speaker 5 (09:37):
I like?

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Drink it? Do I throw it out? Do I sell it? Yeah?
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
Wow, weirdos would buy it, like that weirdo in Vegas
would probably, isn't there, like the guy who buys in
his weird museum.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Like oh, like, well then you got we got the
guy from Bond Stars too, he seems. I also don't know.
I'd love to know how much of that stuff he
actually buys and how much of it is on consignment,
if it's in his store or whatever, because like that
dude on TV drops millions of dollars supposedly on all kinds.
I've never been in the store before, so I don't
know how much of the stuff that he buys is
actually in the store.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
But where's he getting all that money?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I mean, like it'd be like he'll buy like a
million dollar gobstopper, you know from Willy Wonka. It's like
a million bucks where did you got a million bucks
laying around to buy something like that?

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Money? Man, he's been on the for Halloween. He's on cable, Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
He's been on that, he's been on TV for I.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Don't think he's got money a year begin in the bag, right,
better be paying, Yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
I don't think they do. Not like that.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Not that you're buying millions and millions of dollars worth
of stuff and just putting it on a shelf. I
bet you it's a consignment where it's like, hey, I'll
put on the shelf. If I sell it, I get
a percentage of what I sell. Maybe, But then a
lot of stuff he goes in and he's not going
to buy, Like he went and went shopping for a
jet one, like a like a fighter jet right, and
he didn't buy it, like he was never going to
buy it.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I was for TV. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
But then I know a guy who tried to sell
something up posters film the episode and never made it on.
I don't know why. He had Bill Barker's microphone from
The Price is Right, the one, the real long skinny one,
and he went on the show they taped Darker Bill,
What did I say Bill Barker.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
We know a guy.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
We know Bill Barker, and now I say Bill Barker
all the time, Bill Barker with the backup host for
the price is right. He also sells radio commercials too.
That's what I know. I know it is. I can't
to me they're the same person. Now, they're they're equally swab.
You should see Bill Barker come to work to sell
radio commercials in his suit with his hair slicked back,

(11:29):
and it's Bill Barker a long microphone that he carries
around everywhere. Damn, I'm like, why are you carrying a
microphone around? He's like, I bought this, it was mine.
But he never made it on the show. It never aired,
and I don't know why. That's kind of a cool item.
I'm not sure what was wrong with him, and guys,
cue the jokes. An Italian woman's tongue has earned a

(11:54):
Guinness World Record as the largest circumference. It's the thickest
top and it's not a woman. I'm not sure what
her interests are, but I'm sure there are a lot
of people hoping that they were wishing this were replaced
on someone else. I don't know, it is the circumference
of a ping pong ball. Her name is Ambra. Her

(12:17):
tongue was measured three times by doctor and the average
five point four to four inches in circumference became the
official measurement. She took the female version of the record
from an Oregan resident named Jenny, who was awarded the
title earlier this year, just like a month ago, with
a measurement of five points you want. Oh no, we're
on the pulse of this story. Don't worry. We cover
this like it's breaking news.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Now. The male version of this is currently held by
a Belgian named Sasha, whose tongue measured six point six
y nine inches. Of course it does in circumference six
point six So this woman is it is the size
the circumference of a ping pong ball.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Her tongue just round like this. Oh when she sticks
it out like.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
What yeah, yeah, that's wow. But I was trying to illustrate,
illustrated for you. But this dude's an inch bigger around
than that his tongue.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Damn.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Kiky's like, can I get one of those trips around
the world. I'm going to Belgium. It's national walk to
school Day, National Pumpkins Sea Day, National Coffee with a
Cop Day, National Custodial Workers Recognition Day, and National Name
your Car Day. Do you guys all have names for
your cars? Kiki's is called broken? What do you guys

(13:37):
have names of your cars? My mom names Oliver cars?

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh no, I don't, Minus Jarvis, Jason.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
I thought yours was Thirsty Girl or something I read
on our prep like when I was cleaning it out.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
But you called it.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Drivers for the Drivers Center in Chicago.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
No, for iron Man, it's iron Man.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Was that they used to practice?

Speaker 3 (13:55):
That?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Wasn't it called the Drivis Center? What are the what
are the bulls used to practice? The Berto Center? O?
The Berto Center? I don't know what I'm thinking of,
Cheryl Bert Shelton. Yeh, Bill Barker, what I'm gonna get
a text of him? Are you talking about me again? Yeah?
I'm talking about your your time as a game show host.
You We're incredible. Get your skinny mic and get the
hell up here. The Entertainment Report is next Fred Show.

(14:23):
Ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the Fred Show.
Hey Damien, good morning, Welcome to the show. How are you?

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Good morning? Good morning, I'm.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
Good, okay, good, but you're you think maybe you're being
ghosted though by this only passy, So what's going on
with this? With this situation, we got to know how
you met, tell us about any dates that you've been on,
and then where things are now.

Speaker 8 (14:45):
Okay, it was it was kind of the coolest thing
I've ever done.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
In my life.

Speaker 8 (14:51):
We were I was just hanging out at a bar
and I saw the gorgeous girl and I had a
couple of drinks and we started talking, danced.

Speaker 5 (14:57):
A little bit, and I finally I was I was
joking around. I was about to go. I was going
to a wedding the following weekend, and I was like, hey,
do you want to go on a first date to
a wedding? And she said, yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
And I was honest with you, that's uh, that's that
is bold because I assume he knew a lot of
people at the wedding. So it's it's kind of like,
you know, you're bringing her into enemy territory here. I mean,
this is a person that you barely know meeting a
bunch of people who you do know. I mean, I'm
presumably family and all of that, but nonetheless, You're like, sure,

(15:33):
come to the wedding, and she goes, great, you selling you.
You seem like you'd be a good time, so you
went yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (15:39):
I was honestly, I was a little surprised that she
said yes. I was sort of joking, but you know,
and then when she said yes, I was like, I'm
just going to go with it. So I hit her up,
and you know, we really we went and with my
friend's wedding and.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
It was awesome and we had a great time. I
really really like her.

Speaker 8 (15:56):
She's really funny and she's smart and beautiful.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
But I knew what you were saying is true. It
might have been too much, too fast, and she may
have gotten I don't know, like uh, intimidated or scared
away or something, because I haven't heard from her since,
and I really like her, Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, I mean I see both I see this both ways.
I mean, it's it's bold and that you know everybody
there and she doesn't. But also there's drinking and there's dancing,
and I don't know, it can be kind of weird
to go alone. I go to a lot of weddings alone,
so I don't know, I can see why you'd want
someone there with you, and if she's fun and she
could make the knife better. Nonetheless, whatever happened at this wedding,

(16:38):
she's not calling you back for another date, which you're
surprised by. And that's where we come in. We're gonna
call this woman, Cassie. We're gonna see if we can
get her on the phone, ask these questions for you.
You'll be on the phone as well, and at some
point you're welcome to jump into the call. And the
hope here is that we can figure out what's going on,
straighten it out, set you guys up on. I guess
what would be the first proper date, and we'll.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Pass for you.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Okay, awsome, thank you guys.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
I appreciate.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
Let's see what's going on. Part two of waiting on
the phone in two minutes after Sabrina Carpenter, we're back
Fred's show.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Hey, Damien, Yeah, all right, let's call Cassie. Welcome back.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
By the way, you guys, you met at a bar,
you'd had a few drinks and you say, hey, do
you want to go to this wedding with me? And
she goes, sure, I'll go to the wedding here, I
am doing both roles here.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Do you want to go to a wedding?

Speaker 3 (17:24):
I got a wedding with you?

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Are you sure? Anyway?

Speaker 2 (17:27):
So you guys went and you thought it was a
great time. You were excited to see her again. Except
you've called, you've texted, you've reached out for another date.
She is not responding. She appears to be ghosting you.
You want to know why?

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yes, exactly, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
All right, let's call her right now. Good luck, Damien,
thank you?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Hi is this Cassie.

Speaker 9 (17:53):
Yes, this is Cassie.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Hey, Cassie, good morning. My name is Fred.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
I'm calling from the Fred Show, the Morning radio 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 calls. And okay, if we ch
have for just a second on the show, you can hang.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Up anytime, okay, sure, Well, well, good.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Thank you very much. We're calling out behalf of a
guy who reached out to us. His name is Damien.
I guess you recently met and went to a wedding
together one of his friend's weddings.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
You remember this guy?

Speaker 9 (18:19):
Yes, I remember him?

Speaker 3 (18:21):
Okay, So what happened?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Because he called us and told us that he was
excited to have met you and you guys, I had
a I guess, a good time at a bar and
then he said, do you want to go to my
friend's wedding? You agreed, you guys went. He thought that
went well, except he says he hasn't heard from you since.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
So what happened?

Speaker 9 (18:39):
Yeah, we did meet at a bar. He approached me,
and I thought at first he was just joking about
the wedding, but turns out he wasn't, And I figured
why not. I have a ton of nice dresses to wear,
so might as well give a reason to wear them, you.

Speaker 3 (18:52):
Know, right, I went and it was fun Like.

Speaker 9 (18:55):
At first, it was really fun, but everyone at the
wedding kind of made it weird and it was just awkward. So,
I don't know. People kept coming up to.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Me and saying, oh, you must be Nicole.

Speaker 9 (19:08):
I must I heard so much about you, and I
kept getting referred to as Nicole.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah. Yeah. The problem with that is that your name
is Cassie.

Speaker 3 (19:17):
Yeah exactly, So.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
That's that's an issue there. Okay, So everyone's coming up
to you asking you if you were calling you Nicole?
Do we find out who Nicole is.

Speaker 9 (19:27):
Well, that's the thing. I didn't really find out who
Nichole was, because he kind of I think he was
being untruthful when I confronted him about it, because at first,
you know, I didn't want to make it weird and
I wanted him to enjoy the night and have fun,
and I didn't don't I didn't want to like talk
about it at the wedding at first, but it just
got to a point where everybody was referring to me

(19:48):
as Nicole, and everyone just kept coming up to me saying,
I've heard so many great things about you, Nicole. It's
so nice to finally meet you, Nicole. And I just
got to a point where I had to say something, So.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Did you Nicole? Were you like, oh great? Or were
you like did you tell all these people like I'm Cassie.
I don't know who they all that that be? Is?

Speaker 9 (20:06):
Like at first, I didn't correct people, but then I
started correcting people because because I felt kind of like
out of place to begin with. So I was like, Okay, yes,
m Nicole. But then I'm like, who is Nicole?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
And what did he tell you when you asked? Yeah,
when you asked what did he say?

Speaker 9 (20:21):
He was like trying. He was like, Oh, I don't
know who Nicole is that I've never like, I've never
heard of her. He's just acting like he doesn't know
who Nicole is, which is clearly I mean, that's not
that it can't be the truth.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
I know.

Speaker 9 (20:34):
I felt like he was making me feel crazy because.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Because it was yeah, well this is what I feel like.
I love feeling like Maury because I'm going to bring
him out. Damien's here. I forgot to mention the Damien
this year. I'm very forgetful. I get caught up in
a story, afrigot to tell you. So, Damien, who the
hell is Nicole? And why are we not coming clean
about it?

Speaker 5 (20:55):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (20:55):
Yeah, Nicole's my ex wife? And oh yeah, I just wait,
okay what but hold on? These are your friends and
your family.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
That's your ex wife, and people are walking up to
like they just heard about her. How long were you
guys married? Like twenty minutes?

Speaker 5 (21:13):
I don't I don't really want to talk about it
on the radio.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
Oh you don't want to talk about it? Okay, Well
then why did you call the radio? We are talking
about it on the radio. Okay, So what did you
have like an overnight marriage or something. I mean, because
I well.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
It was, yeah, I was, it wasn't long, and I
just didn't want to talk about it at the wedding.
That's why I kind of right.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Okay, So you had a short wedding of a short
marriage basically with someone who I guess you just met,
and everybody thought you were still with this person, didn't
know you were married to her for a brief time,
And at no point did you think that like maybe
either correct these folks or like maybe tell some people

(21:55):
that you knew at this wedding who you were bringing
so that there was no confusion.

Speaker 10 (21:59):
Yeah, I probably could have handled it better, for sure.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
You don't say, why would you even invite someone else
at this wedding when you have this situation going on?

Speaker 4 (22:12):
Because common sense is not common Okay, this man, my.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
God, Now, are you actually told me?

Speaker 5 (22:20):
It's in the work?

Speaker 4 (22:21):
Okay, So you're you're married, married, nobody knows.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
No one knows, your friends don't even know that this
woman is not your wife. You're actually still not divorced,
but you're inviting other women?

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Wow, bro, it was a really great wedding.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Whose wedding?

Speaker 2 (22:43):
The one you went to with with Cassie or the
one you went to when you got married, which which
wedding was so great?

Speaker 3 (22:48):
The one I went to was Where's Nicole? I need to.

Speaker 9 (22:53):
Was just as great?

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Maybe Tate Light NBC. Do I need to get my
friend Keith Morrison up here and destigate this? Where the
hell is this person?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:04):
U you don't want to talk about it? Did you
not think this was gonna What did you think was
going to happen?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Like?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
You didn't think this was going to come up? I
mean I can.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
I'll talk to Cassie about it, but you know, not here,
not now?

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Oh not.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
I was gonna say, well, you had a tough time
getting a hold of her apparently because we didn't. So
all right, So Cassie, I'll ask the question. I know
the answer. But uh, this man's still married. You forgot
to tell you about that. He forgot to tell you.
You know that you might be confused with another woman
who no one's ever met that he's married to. Wild
h Do you want to go out with him again?

(23:37):
He sounds like a real dracally don't.

Speaker 9 (23:39):
Want to go act with him?

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, I don't know if you ever take the guy's
call and you get the whole story. Call us back
and tell us because I would love to know what's
actually happening here, because this sounds shady and dishonest and
messed up.

Speaker 9 (23:53):
Yeah, it sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen. I
think I'm gonna bow out, all.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Right, Damien, Well, I hope your wife is okay, Nicole
wherever she is, whoever she is, and maybe get divorced,
and then maybe straighten things out with your friends before
you bring a stranger to a wedding and everyone calls
her by the wrong name.

Speaker 5 (24:11):
Yeah good.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
She sounds like a nice person, though it's the cole person.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Nicole or Cassie, because I don't I started to.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Get that say about she probably lit up the room, right.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Oh see, we don't want that. No lighting up any rooms.
That's how they wind up dead. No, okay, I don't know.
I'm very confused. My head actually hurts, to be honest
with you, But Cassie, thank you for answering the phone in.
Best of luck to you, Damien. I don't know what
kind of mess you're in, but I hope you find Jesus.

(24:44):
The Entertainment Reports six hundred and fifty buns with Shelby
Shelley both Next Fred Show. Honestly, it probably would have
been a great idea, right, you probably are more qualified
than you think.

Speaker 4 (24:54):
No, No, no selling knives. Yea invest in your.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
If you don't want to invest in yourself.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Then one thing for sure, Like I just I don't
know if anybody else has had this experience where you
applied for a job you are absolutely not qualified for,
like you have, No, I had no experience.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
I had no.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
It's just I was an intern, Like how can I
be go from being an intern to a program director?

Speaker 3 (25:24):
And I really applied for that job.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
And I know they saw my application because I was
an employee here like I was working here, so I
know they saw the application, and I just wonder, like,
I know they laughed.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Did they give you a courtesy interview? No, that would
have been funny, Like sure, why not?

Speaker 4 (25:40):
I was waiting by the phone literally for that job
that I had no business applying for. But you know,
have you ever been in like a desperate situation where
you just like start.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Applying for stuff.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
I've done this for so long that I don't this
is all I've really ever done I've.

Speaker 6 (25:58):
Been desperate in like reaching out to people because you know,
like I wanted to be in this industry, and I,
like my mom thought it was very much like you know,
corporate America, like you send a resume and you get
a job whatever, but it's like you obviously need.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
To get your foot in the door somehow.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
So I've been a little chaotic with like dming people
and like LinkedIn and email, like calling people and they're
just like chill, you know, but I wanted.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
To do it even for here, Like that's how that's
how it is. Like when you try to get on
the radio, you got to put together air checks, you
know what I'm saying, right, and them air checks were
like you're you're editing the crap out of the Yeah,
I line a lot.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
You've all heard the story before. I line a lot.
I lied my.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
Way all the way to getting on the radio.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
And you know, I guess when you get to this point,
then you can tell people because it worked out. And
I guess if it doesn't work out, then you got
caught in your lie. Oh well, but like I know
a lot of people in this business fake it till
you make it. Yeah, Yeah, don't ever tell anyone you
don't know how to do something, because you can, especially
now you can close the door and get on YouTube
and you can figure it out.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yeah, because it's better that I don't.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I don't mean to encourage people to lie, but it's
better than and say I don't know how to do
that and not get the job when you could teach yourself.

Speaker 3 (27:04):
Hi, day, I got here, right. You guys knew okay,
well yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Bob Barker hired you. Everyone knows that.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yeah, they're like, maye, wait down here.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
And to some extent, I did do that, Like I
got in a digital department and kind of like YouTube
my way through that and it worked out. But like
to think that I had the balls to just apply
for a total leadership position, it's so wild to me.
And I've seen the memes where people are like, I
need to chill out because I got an interview tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
To be like a lawyer. You know, you don't even
have a law degree.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
But people could just apply for stuff, and I was
definitely one of those people.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I got to apply for stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yes, No, And I encourage people to apply, I mean,
apply to be whatever and see what happened. I mean,
I guess if you're applying, if you're trying to get
a job at a company, and you're applying for jobs
that are like high level executive jobs that you maybe
aren't qualified for, then they may not think you're you're
being serious. I'm sure like hiring recruiters and stuff listening
now know would have comments on this, but like, don't
apply to be the CEO, you know of Apple with

(28:06):
me if you just want to be if you want
to get from the door in the retail store, They're
probably not gonna take you seriously.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
But I mean, hey, it worked out for you, it did.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
I was really trying to be the CEO of this
radio station.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
I got my first full time job in Austin. Now
you should have you probably they probably should have hired you,
by the way, And I was there for like two years,
and I decided I should be I was way too
big for it. And I wasn't that I was too big,
I was just too ambitious. I was nowhere near good enough.
And so I started hitting up like La New York, Chicago,
and believe it or not, the people running the stations

(28:38):
in these markets, not Chicago. Chicago was actually believe it
or not, Chicago was extremely non responsive. They were either
rude or told me I suck. Oh wow, it's true.
It's a true story. I have an email printed that
I look at regularly of a former competing program director
telling someone else I would never hire that guy.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
He is awful. Whoa.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
I kicked his ass in poetic It makes me so happy.
And when I see the guy, he acts like it
never happened. I'm like, you know. And as soon as
I got this job, someone forwarded me the email said
you should have this his motivation, and I have it
and I look at it all the time.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Does he know?

Speaker 10 (29:15):
You know?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
I don't know, but I've talked about it enough times.
He's got to know it's him. And I respect the
guy and I wish him well and whatever. But I
he said I sucked, and we in this this room
collectively kicked his ass. And I love it. And he's
doing great now, so good for him. But I applied
for a program director job in Tucson, Arizona at a

(29:38):
radio stay and I'm from Arizona, and I had been
an assistant program director for six months and I had
no responsibility. I didn't it was a title and it
was it was a receptionist. Basically, I took calls for
the for the program director and I and I applied
for the job. And Tim Richards is the guy's name,
who is the who was in Tucson and he was

(29:58):
the guy. So I sent him. I said, hey, I
want to be the program director of this radio station.
And he wrote me back and said, okay, well, we
have a lot of applicants. And you know, I see
you hear your assistant program director. Why don't you, Why
don't you listen to the station and tell me what
you think of it. So I listened to the station
and I come up with like a four page I

(30:18):
did what Paulina did that she denies she did. What
when when you came into the interview with us the
first time and you basically told me why the show
sucked and how you could make it better.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I came in with a notebook full.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Of ideas of how what we were doing sucked and
by the way, you were entirely wrong about everything. So
I tore this This radio station was number one, by
the way, and I tore this radio station to shreds.
I would do this musically, and I would do this
and this, and I would do this, and I would
go on the air and do this and this four pages, okay,
And I sent it to this guy who runs he's

(30:49):
the boss, he runs the whole all these radio stations
that we own in Tucson. And this guy calls me
back and sits on the phone and takes the time
about an hour, and we go through page by page
all my ideas. What I did not know was that
he was the program director and he was replacing himself.
So he spent an hour listening to me tell him

(31:11):
why his I, me an idiot with very little experience,
thought his radio station that was number one could be better.
And he and I are still friends to this day,
twenty twenty years later. He was so kind, and he
was like, it didn't wind up hiring anybody, and no
one got the job.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
They didn't.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
They eliminated the position, of course.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
But but to this day, and I remind him all
the time, I'm like, you were so kind. You took
an hour to listen to a twenty three year old
punk tell you why you didn't know what you were doing.
And you've been You've been doing it longer than I've
been alive at the time. So but you know, I
mean something good came of that.

Speaker 3 (31:50):
Like the guy.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I think he respected the ideas. I think he respected
the fact that I took the time and I was
wrong about most of it, but he was so kind
to listen to me. And he's been, you know, an
asset to me for twenty some years, so I guess
you never know, you never And I was polite about it,
but I was polit about telling him he sucked, but
he didn't. I mean number one, like who was I
what was I doing? But the same with you, Pauline.

(32:13):
I mean you came into your interview what eight years
ago or something, Hey, here's your show kind of sucks
in a lot of areas, and here's how I would
fix it. I'm paraphrasing, but it was kind of like that.
And I just remember sitting there thinking, wow, like who
is this person? And then you got hired, so boom,
go figure.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Look at me.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
But I feel like, if you're intering somebody, wouldn't you
want them to see, like what they'd contribute or what
they would know to the table.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
You did it exactly, and by the way, you were
hired because you were a nutcase. That's true, that's you know,
you were a train wreck of a human being, and
that's how we hired you in the best possible way.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
And look at you.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
But you were right about a lot of things, and
you made a lot of things better on our show.
But you were showing up drunk and you know, I
don't know all allegedly having just stood on the floor
for weeks on end for BBL and then how many
stories I mean crying about boys and.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Oh yeah, you can't write that stuff though.

Speaker 1 (33:04):
I mean, that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
It's like this, this room is full of incredible human beings,
but also everyone has is a little off, and it's
so I am the captain. I am the captain of off.
I'm the most off of all of it. So I
can say it. But like you don't get hired because
you have a great voice, you don't get hired necessarily
because you know, you're a hard worker, even though everybody

(33:26):
here is there's that one thing you have to have
a thing. It's just a thing, and that thing is
that you're a little off. And you were a little off.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
You saw from day one.

Speaker 2 (33:35):
You know what, like her, I think the I think
the best thing was when we called your ball because
you were working as an assistant Paulina for for for
Bill Barker, the famous Bill Barker who sells commercials.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
He's an exeasing executive. I don't need to minimize him.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Get the title right, I'm sick of it.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
President of something, I don't even know what it's.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
They make up titles, right, everyone is I'm the I'm
the president of somebody I don't even know everyone and
is the senior. What's the difference between a vice president
and senior vice president?

Speaker 3 (34:03):
Hey, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
I tell you, but I remember I called him and said, hey,
you're part time assistant. We're gonna I think we're gonna
hire her downstairs. And he literally goes you you want
to hire her?

Speaker 3 (34:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
And I'm like yeah, he goes, okay, yeah, came out
the box and all your stuff. Yeah he did, he stuff,
brought it down like he didn't hesitate.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
Are you serious? Like He's like okay, yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
And I was thinking, mainly made a mistake, my problem,
and he literally packed your stuff for you and brought
it down.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
Hey, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
Yeah, and you are you know what you are? Our treasure?

Speaker 10 (34:40):
You are.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
You are.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
I've made a lot of mistakes on this show, but
you weren't one of them.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Let's come back. We'll do Waiting by the Phone. It's
brand new, next step to dojah. Cat Friend shows on
