Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's been on my mind every day. When I walk
in the duncan downstairs, there's a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Do you know his name?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
He's told me his name before and I can't remember.
He's there almost every morning though, and well while you laughing.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Nothing, he's just like the one guy that works every morning.
You don't know his name?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Really?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, well I did know his name. And then the
reason I bring this up though, is because he laughed
and I remember the day he left he was I
think it was like he was going to see about
a girl, Like it was that kind of thing. If
I remember the story, Crest and I haven't brought it
up because he's back, so oh so you think so.
I mean, he was like, hey man, you know, it's
been nice. I remember this is probably like six months ago.
(00:37):
He was like, hey man, it's been nice, you know,
but like girl's picking me up and we're moving. And
so the story that I or the way that I
interpreted that was that he was going to see about
a girl. And then about two months ago I walk
in and there he is again, and I'm like, what
are you doing here? And he's like, well, I'm back.
And I never asked the questions. But you know, you
guys were talking last week about people who like, like
(00:59):
we're owed an explanation about people's breakup. Yes, yes, And
I don't believe that I'm owed an explanation and I
don't want to bring it up. Like I saw another
guy on Friday, okay, And you know me, I am
famous for saying the thing you're just not supposed to say,
Like it's the thing that most people it just shows
up in the front of their brain and they go ooh,
and then my mouth just takes it from my brain
(01:21):
and goes and I guess that's how I've made a
little bit of money, you know, talking on the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
But I see the guy he was with me, and
I see the guy on Friday night, and I'm like,
you know last year he was here with so and so,
and I'm like, oh, I'm like, huh, anyway, I am
not gonna say anything.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I Am not gonna say anything. And I didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And then at the very end of the night he
was like, yeah, dude, well I'll be calling you because,
you know, moving back into the city again, because you know,
things didn't work out. It was so and so, And
I'm like, thank God, I didn't say anything, Thank God,
but like DI do this man is devastated, you know.
But I so, this's the thing with the this other
guy downstairs, very nice man makes the coffee every day.
Like I don't want to ask him because I don't
(02:05):
think it's a good story, and I don't he doesn't
deserve to start his day at five o'clock in the
morning having to tell me why he's back in that
store that he told me he would.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Never be again.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Maybe you know he maybe he is lonely in the
morning time and wants you to talk to him about it.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, yeah, though I talk about anything else, let his break.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Up I find.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But in fairness, every day when I walk in there,
I look at him and I'm like, I hope he's
okay inside. I just don't want to but because I
don't even know if I know the right story, I
may have made this whole thing up.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm famous for that too.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
But then like if you ask him, be like, hey,
did you know last time I saw you? You know,
I thought you were going to go see this girl,
and he'd be like, hey, it didn't work out, And
then he's like, oh, he remembers he cares.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Here's a free doughnut.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Our hears looking at Listen to him now, I'm not boring. Yeah,
he's thinking, is what's it for him?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
If you if you bring up this trauma in his
life and then he wints up trauma me at five
o'clock in the morning, then I get a free donut
out of the deal.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Like donut, It could be a it could be a
sandwich or croissant, you know, if he'd be a bagel.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He wants me to unearth this man's trauma for a
free donut because it.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Shows that you care. You know you do care. You
want to ask him?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I care. I really want to ask him deep down.
I want him to know that.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
In the back of my mind every time I see him,
I'm like, poor guy, I hope everything.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
See.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
If you just say it out loud, it shows that
you care, don't you don't really care? Your nosy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, the only reason you want me to ask is
because you think I might get something out of I'm
just saying I don't want anything.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
This man could be going through it and nobody seems
to care, but the one random person that he sees
every morning says, Hey, whatever happened to you know so
and so, and be like, you know it didn't work out,
but thank you for asking because it shows that you care.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
No, but he's a free donut.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Right, but the right Exactly he cares about a chocolate
frosted donut with low sprinkles on it when he cares
about all.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
The choos because you have a gazillion points.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Let me tell you something else.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I can have all the chocolate donuts because they're all
just right there on the table when I walk in,
I could just grab one and walk.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Out conversation we need to have.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm just gonna grab one and put in my mouth
a sorry about your breakup?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Can off give me?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
This is a little load to day if you get
you know, it was for like fifteen years. He's like, sorry,
you're going through the other thing. What if I screwed
up the whole story? I mean, he did give me
a whole good This man did give me a whole
goodbye speech. He did do that. He did do that,
and then and then he was back and I was
happy to see him. You know, because you get into
a routine, you say this, you see the same people
every morning, and I think the only reason he knows
(04:44):
my name is because it's on the cup, and he
doesn't know and it says Christopher on the cup too,
doesn't even say so, he doesn't know me any better.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
We just know each other, one of those kind of things.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But he gave the time to say, hey man, this
is my last day.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I gotta which is all the more reason why if
I if I came in here one day and was like, guys, everybody,
I met the woman of my dreams. I'm going to
get married, We're moving to South Africa, and and I'm out,
and it's this is the greatest day. I don't have
to do this anymore. I don't have to wake up.
(05:20):
This is great. I love all of you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This is not a real speech, by the way. And
then I leave and then like three weeks later, you
see me come in here with my King card with
my head down, and then I have to sit here
like what it's friends. Now, let me tell you something.
I'll slide so funny. I will like, these have wheels
on him. These chairs have wheels on for a reason.
(05:45):
Now slide your ass right back over in.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The cur.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But then I would have to come in here and
then everyone's looking at me because they know that I
just gave this major, big goodbye production.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And then here I am sitting here again. I have
you know a guy who did that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'm not gonna say what city, but he was a
TV guy and he was just gruntled and I worked
with him. And one morning he goes on TV. I
kid you not, and he goes, I have a big
It was like a Thursday. He goes, I have a
big announcement tomorrow morning that will change the course of
this show, that will change the course of my career.
And it's a message to everybody who said I couldn't
do it. He says this, and nobody knew what he
(06:23):
was talking about, including management. By the way, the next
day he never made an announcement and he still works there.
Oh so whatever whatever he thought was gonna happen had
not yet have. And then and then you gotta be
the guy. He showed up the next morning. He was like,
all right, let's just do the show, But what about
(06:44):
your announcement. He's like, that would totally happen. Here.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Announcement never happened to this day.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I don't know what he thought he was going to
go do, but it apparently he hadn't solidified it yet,
but he was. He was pretty sure about it. I mean,
the ink wasn't even dry. It's like, dude, this guy's
gonna go out. He's gonna go out blazing tomorrow morning.
Like this is gonna be wild.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This guy.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Wow, he finally got his big gig. You know, he's
finally going to you know, Sacramento or whatever he was
hoping for.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And then nope, nope, he's still there. And that was
about fifteen years ago. So but again, you know, like
if I come, if I come crawling back in here,
everyone's just gonna look at me and pity me.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
You owe us an explanation, though at that point.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh, I would owe you an explaination.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
When you make a.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Grand announcement like that and you're gonna leave and is
that and you come back, We're not even starting to
show until.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You explain what happened.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You have to give it.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Ex Like the man at duncan really owes you an explanation.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Stop it.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
No, he does, because he shouldn't have said bye.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Why would you say bye? He I think he ever
told me By isn't a black man. Yeah, he told
me By, and it was like, you know, you won't
see me ere gig.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But that's my point.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Now you owe me an explanation.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Exactly my point, Kiki's When I saw him again, the
look on his face wasn't happiness. It wasn't like I'm bad,
like we decided to live here instead or something.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It wasn't that. It was the look on his face was.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
In fact, I think he even like bowed his head
when I was like, hey, good to see you, Like
He's like, yeah, I'm bad.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's why you got to ask.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
But I think by me interacting with him, he knows
I care. Without me digging into this man's personal you know,
I just feel bad.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't. I don't want to be.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The guy who starts his day having to explain to
me what he's doing there.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And it's been long enough. Now we're just back to
being good. If you just say, how are you?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
That's fair?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah right, I'm just every single morning, good morning, how
you doing?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
If he wants to bring it up or bring it up.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, I'm giving the grand ad eyes.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
If you can't follow it up.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That's the thing I honestly, you're right.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
He should have just he should have just said I
here's the explanation, by the way, and just given it
to me.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, so I don't have to ask. Don't put me
through that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Right then there's the guy downstairs walking up here here
the guy, how many celsias do you think he drinks
a lot?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I can't even get all the way up the escalator.

I can't do it. What do you want me to do?
I have to do this?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yes, I mean, it's not like I can just go Okay,

go down there and just say, just say hey, like
he was just wondering if everything's okay in your life.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh So you don't want me to ask him to
come up here.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
No, he if he has time, he's welcome to come
up here, and we can ask him point blank or calling. Yeah,
But I honestly, I just I want him to know
that for the past however many weeks he's been back
each morning when I go in there, I've been thinking
about him and his story, and I just want to
make sure he's okay, okay, But I don't want to
bring it up because it's really first of all, it's
(11:13):
not my business bring it up. And second of all,
I don't want to start his day with that kind
of you know what I mean, Like if Abby, God forbid,
your girlfriend Abby broke up with you, Ben, and like
and you and I knew that, and you're moping around
here and I'm like, come in your Ben, did Abby
break up with you? And then you have to like

Speaker 8 (11:35):
Want me to ask him if we can call him,
but what do you want to talk to him?
Speaker 1 (11:39):

I just if you would, just if you wouldn't mind,
I'll go see just go down there and see if
he's okay to be like you, I say, hey.
Speaker 2 (11:48):

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Pepper guy that you see at five thirty in the
morning when you ask if you're okay, he.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Was up here.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
We were talking about it, and he was just worried
about you because he doesn't want to ask because you know,
but but now he now, he just something has to
be done, all right, thank you?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Let me know how it comes. Put in a duncan order,
so it's not weird if I go down there. No,
you got you guys can't be one. Do you want
to use my phone? The points I just said? Do
you want to use my phone?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I want to see me here. Hold on, I just
I'm not taking him in here here.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Kevin, If you just I just yeah, I just if
you could just check on him enough, it's enough.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You have something in your cart?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Are you buying this?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't know what that is? Oh? Did I not?
Never mind? Got recof this the Fread show, This is
what's okay? Well it was. It was busy down.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Now, hold on, let me just let me just recap here.
I shared earlier in the show that there's a man
that works downstairs at the coffee shop at the Duncan
that I thought was leaving, and I thought he was
leaving to be with the woman moving away. And then
a few weeks ago I saw that he returned, and
I did not think that was part of the plan.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I thought he had moved away.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
He mean, he gave me a speech, he told me goodbye,
and then I saw him. And every morning when I
go in there, I look at him and he looks busy,
he looks a little sad, and I don't want to
bring it up because I don't want to go there
if it's a sad, bad story.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So I sent Ben down there to do it for me.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Well, first off, I think it's wrong to pry in
people's personal lives, which is why I didn't do it,
But you did. So they were pretty busy down there.
He was on the cash register and they had a line,
so I didn't get to talk to him because I
just wanted to grab the food, you know, because he
placed it ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But he was laughing. He had a big smile on
his face.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
I know exactly who you were talking about, and he
seemed like he was in a great mood.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
About all the sadden and stuff. Although I don't connect
with him on a level like you do.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Ben, he sent you down there for a reason. I
gotta be honest. Yeah, you're a sandwich, I got it.
I gotta be honest with you, Ben. The task is
not complete. I don't know what's up with No, no, no,
I said Ben.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I sent you down there to obtain information, and you
were not to come back until you have the advice.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh this is like the Chaco Taco thing all over again.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Yeah, Kiki, did you have anything to say about I'm
upset being you did not complete the mission, sir, and
I love how gen Z come in here and give
us his.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Thoughts on what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
It's wrong to pry into people's life, first of all.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
It's second about he was busy, so I didn't get
the answer.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
No, that's not what we actually did.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Those personal wives who ask us to no man, I
don't know if you know this, but you don't get to.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Decide I love you. But it's called the frend Show.
And not that we rank around here, but if we
were too, you're at the bottom.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
So that.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I don't like to put a number on anything, but
if I did, you're at the lowest numberies. So what
I need you to do is go back down there
and get the information that we need. And if you
need to be a little pushy, you gotta be a
little pushy. But this is this is how you climb,
my friend. This is how Yeah, this is how. This
is it. This is it love. You were exactly right.
(15:06):
He walks in here and the first thing he does
is give us commentary on his thoughts of what he
was supposed to do, and then he tells.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Him he didn't do it.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Well, I just want to cover myself for the actions
that you guys are asking me to do.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
These kids.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Training guys, I don't want you more training. I'll be
taking something.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
If Kiggy went down there, it was about thirty seconds
from now, we'd have this guy social security that we'd
know his blood time, we'd know his kids' names, we'd
even know his passwords and his password clues. Yeah, but
instead what do we know nothing?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Man, If you won't be hunger anymore, I guess well.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
He can go very upset, Ben, he can go eat it.
His food's right there, so he can. In fact, i'd
like it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Go eat.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Go put something in your mouth, something's wrong with it,
Go take it back. No, go talk to the man
of the cashier.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
If you would go back down there, okay and get
us the answers that we're Look. Can you imagine if
you were like an investigative reporter and you did a
Datlin episode and at the end of your life, I
don't know, the murder wouldn't tell me anything. End the episode,
I don't know, he wouldn't say anything. So I just stopped.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Okay. Fred's show is on now Money Show.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Shout out to Paulina and Gabrielle at home listening. They
want the Duncan team, they want to know what's going on.
So first of all, I did remember the man's name, Jamal.
He's the Duncan man downstairs, and I remembered it because
of Jamal Mashburn. Oh yeah, the NBA great, Dallas Great.
So I did know his name because that's the only
(16:41):
way I can. I'm terrible with names. The only way
I can remember names is if I associated with a
name that I actually know. So if you're just tuning in, guys,
I had mentioned this morning that the last few weeks,
I've been every single morning, I go to the same
dunk and get my coffee every morning. Ordered a head
walk in there and a guy that works there, and
of course there's nobody in there, so like you've developed
(17:03):
a bit of a report with the guy because I'm
the only one and he's the only one that just opened.
He had told me a few months ago, hey, I'm
out of here, like my last day. My girl's coming
to pick me up. We're moving away, and so I
took that as like a love story. And then a
few months later I walk in and he's back, and
I'm like, you're back. And the way that he responded
to that didn't seem like it was on his terms
(17:26):
or like a good a good reunion, right, And I
didn't say anything, but every single morning I walk in,
I look at his man and I think, I hope
he's okay, but I don't want to bring it up
because it's none of my business. Now, he did make
that big, you know proclamation, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I'm leaving. I'm out of here.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
That's like the thing on the thoughts and prayers. You
want the follow up, that's sure, you need the answer.
What are we praying for? So I did what anybody
would do. I sent someone else down there to try
and figure.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Out what is happening with Jamal and I want to
make sure he's okay. And so Ben and I can't
currge because I got to sit here. So Ben went
down there, and first he went down there and he
didn't complete the mission, and Mama Keikey educated him on
the expectations of this radio program, which is that you
(18:16):
come back with what we asked for.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's right, and he did here.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
So this is Jamal from dunkin Donuts and uh he
knows Christopher and we've just been worried about him.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
So we wanted to see how you were doing. I'm fine, good, Yeah,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Nothing much, just.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know, happy to be back in my hometown. And
the other thing ring back to working of.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Course and just living life life.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah. Great, Thank you so much. I have a great
time too.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Jamal didn't sound okay, he doesn't sound he doesn't Son
happen to be back.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
He doesn't. I feel he's a hard hitting question.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Work on the follow up question. I don't work on
the follow up questions. My boy said, yo, wor's the girl.
That's what he needed to say. Kicky, how would you
have handled this?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Jamal?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, you left.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Here and you made an announcement saying you were moving right,
Yes I did, Kiki, you're back.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Welcome back, Jamal.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Well, you know, things didn't go as planned? Okay, So
did she leave?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Did y'all break up?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'll tell you what we should do.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
You get a restraint in order.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
When the program's over, you go down there and get
the actualty.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I know right now, hear me too.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Well, I need you here, okay, but like I don't know,
maybe you during the next break you go down there.
I will and actually completely. Ben did come back with something,
So that's a start. Yeah, And we're trying to teach
the young man, you know, twenty one, twenty two years old, Ben,
you know, Ben Hamen, Benjamin, we're trying to teach him.
When you when you're giving a task, you don't get
(19:46):
to come back and go I just didn't do it. No, No,
he could have stopped any man on the street on
the way there and been like to just say that
you're sad.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
She could have done the other part, Hey, Jamal, I'm good.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
You know, the ladies on my life anymore. I mean,
he would have gotten he would have got absolutely grilled
for that too. But I would have I would have
appreciated even some form of like he's out here doing
some voices, you know what I mean, Like I would
have even appreciated that. But when you're given a task, kids,
you complete the task and people have texted all morning.
If you if you're a fan of the show for
(20:19):
a while, you know cougar bait, Mjay. You know, there
are a number of folks that have been here.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Over the years that have had to do some absolutely
wild things like go on the Today Show where the
sign that said shart, I mean, come on right, come on,
And all I asked this man to do is go
downstairs and get me the you know, the information on
our guys. So we're teaching him here, we're turning him
into something. I think he's gonna be better off in
the future for this job. Oh yeah, because he's gonna
(20:46):
go to wherever he goes, they're gonna say, do this
easy thing. He's gonna go boom, he's gonna go do
it right away and Everythinge's gonna be happy.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yep. So I believe we're forming this. Man.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, these are valuable life skills, walking up to strangers
and getting information from them.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Watch watch how seamlessly Kiki will handle this. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
By the end of the show, we're going to know
what happened to her, We're going to know where she is,
We're going to know. We'll probably Rufio will find her
on social media. I mean, she will be exposed. I
certainly hope she did not mistreat my boy Jamal, because
if she did, Oh boy, no, okay, the thirteen are coming.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Let's Kiki, you single. You know what I'm saying. Jamal's
in that place.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, I don't think that's where this story's gonna been.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know what you got to do to get them answers?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You don't have to do that. You don't you don't
have to you don't have to do that, stay or go.
The entertainer reports she'll be selling with seven hundred and
fifty bucks all coming up. Frend Job Frends Show is
on it feels good.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Keeps me up at Nikiki, No me too, keeps me
up in and around in circles.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Get a Britney and Jamal.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And Jamal, Jamal just got me? Is it proclemped? Is
that the words? And I don't know what it is
that's me?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, you know, I said this a long time ago, Jason,
and I think you agreed with me back when they
were trying to get Jamie her father out of the picture.
And I said, maybe he's not the guy, but someone
there needs to be a guy or a girl like
maybe the way he went about it. But someone tells
me he was onto something that the rest of us
maybe didn't see. And I think maybe someone needed to
(22:33):
be pretty forceful in her life.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Yeah, I think he took advantage of the situation a
little bit. But yes, I think there needs to be
a guiding light of sorts. And I think I'm the
person for the job.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I think so too. So I'm get not saying what
he did was right or whatever. I don't really know. Uh,
And I he probably wasn't the dude, but a dude
or an or or a woman or somebody, you know,
some being like with all of their brain and everything,
like you know, probably would.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Be mental health.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, a little stronger hand on the Instagram on the
phone with the video, you know, a little more stable.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Who much shaking this?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah? Exactly good news.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Positive stories we shared with you every day on the
show Kicky What you got?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Oh, this one is for Jason and all my fellow
dog lovers. This story says a dog missing in California
turned up more than two thousand miles away in suburban Detroit.
Police in Harbor Woods responded to a call about a
straight dog last week, picked up the terrier mix and
contacted an animal welfare group. The Animal Adoption Society said
he quickly discovered that the dog, named Mishka, had an
(23:33):
identity chip implanted in her with information about her owners.
Although the dog was found in Detroit, his home was
all her home was all the way in San Diego. Luckily,
her family was already planning to travel to Minnesota when
the call came in that their dog had been found,
so they landed there and drove ten hours to Michigan
for a reunion with Mishika. Her owner cried tears of
(23:54):
joy and said he had given up hope since the
dog had been gone for months and wandered away from
their family own auto garage.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
So now they have reunited. Oh well, a lost animal
story too. This one's crazy. A Utah cat's back with
their family after traveling to California in an Amazon return box.
Oh Klena is her name, and the feline, like many cats,
loves to play in boxes, so she left the house
in a large box of shoes that her human daddy
(24:24):
had sent out as a return to Amazon. The cat
was hiding in the box, so it had footwear in it.
It arrives then in Riverside, California, six hundred and fifty
miles away. They opened the box. They find a cat
in there that lived. That was okay. As soon as
the owner's got the insane news that she'd been found
in the box at the Amazon facility, they booked a
(24:46):
flight to California. She did go without food and water
for six days.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The family is advocating for micro chipping your pets and
triple checking your Amazon boxes as well.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Hopefully that cat didn't eat any of them shoes. You
know what I'm saying. They can't return Rose either.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You can't return your cat.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
People on Amazon but I honestly, if you think about it,
like my mom has two cats. Everyone I know with cats,
if there's a box, they get in it. I'm surprised
this doesn't happen more often. Then again, I might be like,
what's moving? These shoes aren't supposed to move. Why isn't
you something moving?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
These shoes?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Never me out before the hell's going on? Waiting by
the phone? Brand New and next Docter Taylor in two
minutes on the frend Show. Yeah, they talk better than
they These are the radio blogs on the Fresh So
thank you for your patronage. I appreciate that of my
dunkin location all right, like writing in our diaries, except
we say them aloud. We call them blogs around this time,
(25:39):
kikey dear blog.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Okay, right with me because this is a two partner.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Okay, the first things first, I would just want to
ask the question of what is the purpose of our
names being attached to our fast food orders?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
What is the reason?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Because there's a whole number system that works just fine.
I want to be ordered one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight. Why do I need to give you my
name when I order my food? Can anybody in here
address that.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But why is this upsetting to you? Though?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Because when I'm ordering, I don't want the entire restaurant
to know that Kiki ordered this big back meal. Like
I want to be discreet. You know, a nice little
order sixty seven, your orders up?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That works for me, But don't they see you going
up and grabbing order six seven?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
True?
Speaker 5 (26:26):
But you don't know my name. You don't know who
I am. Every time I go order food, I have
to make up a name, so I go through the
drive bo Yes, And this is what really triggered me.
I went to a restaurant and they gave him my order,
and they said, what's your name? So I said Ryan. Okay,
was the first thing I can think of. I said,
my name is Ryan.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
He said your name is Ryan. My name is Ryan,
So it makes sense I can see you.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I was on the phone with my best friend.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That's actually so I pull up to.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
The window and the girl slices the window back and
she says, hi, ke key, and I'm looking like girl,
my name is Ryan talking about But it turns out
she and I went to high school together, so she
was not part of SEMA, but she's working there, which
is hey, fine, But I'm like, why you blow my cover?
(27:19):
And you know now I'm uncomfortable because you know I'm
a liar, you know, and I just came to get
my double cheeseburger or whatever. Like why do we have
to attach your name to an order? Let to numbers?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
What is the drive through? What's been asking for your
name and the drive through for they do it?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Bro, Remember I told you what happened when I went
to Chick fil A and I thought I was famous
because she knew my name, but I had forgot that.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I told the girl that the speaker.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
So in this case, I name in a fast food restaurant,
I guess chucking every.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Day and it's on your Yeah, but that's through the app.
If you're if you order through the app, they already
know your name. Like I'll go through a drive through.
I'll give them the colde and be like Kevin, is
that you? I'm like, oh, yeah, well it's me and
will be in the back, Like they know your name here, Dad,
It's like we spend a lot of time here, son.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
But whether they know your name or not, the shame
of the order is gonna be a real thing for you.
Like I have shame every time door dash knocks on
my door, I have shame every time I live in
a high rise and someone's got left them in. I
have shame every time I get the call, like on
the weekend, the third call of the day. Turns out
dude downstairs is working a double and he's like, I
(28:23):
have another delivery for you and so and you know,
you know my thing, Like I'll open the door for
the door dash guy and be like okay, and then
it's like three bags for just me my kids, you know,
and there's nobody in there. I'll be baby getting the
kids riding foods in right, hey, everybody party.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
He checks that boxes, like do you need plates and utensils?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yes, but it's just me. But they just handed me
three bags.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But it's just me and I feeling and this DoorDash
man he does not care whatsoever. He could not he
couldn't possibly care less what is happening. But me, I
take two bags in and I know it's just for me,
and I gotta be okay, hey, all right, we're about
to eat, all right, thank you man. You know, but
there's nobody in there. It's just me, So I don't
think it matters if they know your name or don't
know your name. You're gonna you feel shame when you
(29:12):
go up and get the order.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm just tired of it. I think we need to
stick to a number system. I think Portillo's is done
a great job, but you know number six nine, I
go out of your mind, Come get your order.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I die.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You know, they make a little rhyme out of it,
but like Kiki, you got the double cheese marker with
the extra making me like, I don't need you to
read that.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
That's what I'm gonn understanding. So they say your name.
I thought it was just to be polite, like be welcoming.
But I don't understand why they're saying your name and
reading your order. I think you're the only one that
never happened to me. You're gonna have every fast food
rush really like they'll be like Jason. Your orders like
Jason with the ten piece chicken nuggets and the extra
(29:51):
large front like that never happened to.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Me, and the two chocolate.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Cakes and eight hamburgers extra cake on the side.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
You know what you need to do.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
You just start carrying like a door dash bag in
your car. I'm just thinking of an.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Order here guys, we just don't need this man.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Let's just stick to numbers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Just do what I do and wear the hat, mustache,
classes combination. You know that glass with the nose on it?
No one will ever know it's you.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
They have no clue. Wow, they're doing you dirty of
their red.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
How did they feel they need to tell the restaurant
like this is from my whole family, right, but no
one's paying attention.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Ye a camera repoort. She'll be chilly next
It's been on my mind every day. When I walk
in the duncan downstairs, there's a gentleman.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Do you know his name?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
He's told me his name before and I can't remember.
He's there almost every morning though, and well while you laughing.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Nothing, he's just like the one guy that works every morning.
You don't know his name?
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Really?
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Well, well I did know his name. And then the
reason I bring this up though, is because he laughed
and I remember the day he left he was I
think it was like he was going to see about
a girl, Like it was that kind of thing. If
I remember the story, Crest and I haven't brought it
up because he's back, so oh so you think so.
I mean, he was like, hey man, you know, it's
been nice. I remember this is probably like six months ago.
(00:37):
He was like, hey man, it's been nice, you know,
but like girl's picking me up and we're moving. And
so the story that I or the way that I
interpreted that was that he was going to see about
a girl. And then about two months ago I walk
in and there he is again, and I'm like, what
are you doing here? And he's like, well, I'm back.
And I never asked the questions. But you know, you
guys were talking last week about people who like, like
(00:59):
we're owed an explanation about people's breakup. Yes, yes, And
I don't believe that I'm owed an explanation and I
don't want to bring it up. Like I saw another
guy on Friday, okay, And you know me, I am
famous for saying the thing you're just not supposed to say,
Like it's the thing that most people it just shows
up in the front of their brain and they go ooh,
and then my mouth just takes it from my brain
(01:21):
and goes and I guess that's how I've made a
little bit of money, you know, talking on the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
But I see the guy he was with me, and
I see the guy on Friday night, and I'm like,
you know last year he was here with so and so,
and I'm like, oh, I'm like, huh, anyway, I am
not gonna say anything.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I Am not gonna say anything. And I didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And then at the very end of the night he
was like, yeah, dude, well I'll be calling you because,
you know, moving back into the city again, because you know,
things didn't work out. It was so and so, And
I'm like, thank God, I didn't say anything, Thank God,
but like DI do this man is devastated, you know.
But I so, this's the thing with the this other
guy downstairs, very nice man makes the coffee every day.
Like I don't want to ask him because I don't
(02:05):
think it's a good story, and I don't he doesn't
deserve to start his day at five o'clock in the
morning having to tell me why he's back in that
store that he told me he would.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Never be again.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Maybe you know he maybe he is lonely in the
morning time and wants you to talk to him about it.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, yeah, though I talk about anything else, let his break.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Up I find.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
But in fairness, every day when I walk in there,
I look at him and I'm like, I hope he's
okay inside. I just don't want to but because I
don't even know if I know the right story, I
may have made this whole thing up.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I'm famous for that too.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
But then like if you ask him, be like, hey,
did you know last time I saw you? You know,
I thought you were going to go see this girl,
and he'd be like, hey, it didn't work out, And
then he's like, oh, he remembers he cares.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Here's a free doughnut.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Our hears looking at Listen to him now, I'm not boring. Yeah,
he's thinking, is what's it for him?
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
If you if you bring up this trauma in his
life and then he wints up trauma me at five
o'clock in the morning, then I get a free donut
out of the deal.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Like donut, It could be a it could be a
sandwich or croissant, you know, if he'd be a bagel.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
He wants me to unearth this man's trauma for a
free donut because it.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Shows that you care. You know you do care. You
want to ask him?
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I care. I really want to ask him deep down.
I want him to know that.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
In the back of my mind every time I see him,
I'm like, poor guy, I hope everything.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
See.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
If you just say it out loud, it shows that
you care, don't you don't really care? Your nosy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yeah, the only reason you want me to ask is
because you think I might get something out of I'm
just saying I don't want anything.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
This man could be going through it and nobody seems
to care, but the one random person that he sees
every morning says, Hey, whatever happened to you know so
and so, and be like, you know it didn't work out,
but thank you for asking because it shows that you care.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
No, but he's a free donut.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Right, but the right Exactly he cares about a chocolate
frosted donut with low sprinkles on it when he cares
about all.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
The choos because you have a gazillion points.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Let me tell you something else.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I can have all the chocolate donuts because they're all
just right there on the table when I walk in,
I could just grab one and walk.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Out conversation we need to have.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm just gonna grab one and put in my mouth
a sorry about your breakup?
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Bro?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Can off give me?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
This is a little load to day if you get
you know, it was for like fifteen years. He's like, sorry,
you're going through the other thing. What if I screwed
up the whole story? I mean, he did give me
a whole good This man did give me a whole
goodbye speech. He did do that. He did do that,
and then and then he was back and I was
happy to see him. You know, because you get into
a routine, you say this, you see the same people
every morning, and I think the only reason he knows
(04:44):
my name is because it's on the cup, and he
doesn't know and it says Christopher on the cup too,
doesn't even say so, he doesn't know me any better.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
We just know each other, one of those kind of things.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
But he gave the time to say, hey man, this
is my last day.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'm getting out of here.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I gotta which is all the more reason why if
I if I came in here one day and was like, guys, everybody,
I met the woman of my dreams. I'm going to
get married, We're moving to South Africa, and and I'm out,
and it's this is the greatest day. I don't have
to do this anymore. I don't have to wake up.
(05:20):
This is great. I love all of you.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
This is not a real speech, by the way. And
then I leave and then like three weeks later, you
see me come in here with my King card with
my head down, and then I have to sit here
like what it's friends. Now, let me tell you something.
I'll slide so funny. I will like, these have wheels
on him. These chairs have wheels on for a reason.
(05:45):
Now slide your ass right back over in.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
The cur.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
But then I would have to come in here and
then everyone's looking at me because they know that I
just gave this major, big goodbye production.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And then here I am sitting here again. I have
you know a guy who did that.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
I'm not gonna say what city, but he was a
TV guy and he was just gruntled and I worked
with him. And one morning he goes on TV. I
kid you not, and he goes, I have a big
It was like a Thursday. He goes, I have a
big announcement tomorrow morning that will change the course of
this show, that will change the course of my career.
And it's a message to everybody who said I couldn't
do it. He says this, and nobody knew what he
(06:23):
was talking about, including management. By the way, the next
day he never made an announcement and he still works there.
Oh so whatever whatever he thought was gonna happen had
not yet have. And then and then you gotta be
the guy. He showed up the next morning. He was like,
all right, let's just do the show, But what about
(06:44):
your announcement. He's like, that would totally happen. Here.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Announcement never happened to this day.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I don't know what he thought he was going to
go do, but it apparently he hadn't solidified it yet,
but he was. He was pretty sure about it. I mean,
the ink wasn't even dry. It's like, dude, this guy's
gonna go out. He's gonna go out blazing tomorrow morning.
Like this is gonna be wild.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
This guy.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Wow, he finally got his big gig. You know, he's
finally going to you know, Sacramento or whatever he was
hoping for.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
And then nope, nope, he's still there. And that was
about fifteen years ago. So but again, you know, like
if I come, if I come crawling back in here,
everyone's just gonna look at me and pity me.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
You owe us an explanation, though at that point.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh, I would owe you an explaination.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
When you make a.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Grand announcement like that and you're gonna leave and is
that and you come back, We're not even starting to
show until.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You explain what happened.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
You have to give it.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Ex Like the man at duncan really owes you an explanation.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Stop it.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
No, he does, because he shouldn't have said bye.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Why would you say bye? He I think he ever
told me By isn't a black man. Yeah, he told
me By, and it was like, you know, you won't
see me ere gig.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
But that's my point.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Now you owe me an explanation.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Exactly my point, Kiki's When I saw him again, the
look on his face wasn't happiness. It wasn't like I'm bad,
like we decided to live here instead or something.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
It wasn't that. It was the look on his face was.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
In fact, I think he even like bowed his head
when I was like, hey, good to see you, Like
He's like, yeah, I'm bad.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
That's why you got to ask.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
But I think by me interacting with him, he knows
I care. Without me digging into this man's personal you know,
I just feel bad.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I don't. I don't want to be.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
The guy who starts his day having to explain to
me what he's doing there.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
And it's been long enough. Now we're just back to
being good. If you just say, how are you?
Speaker 6 (08:29):
That's fair?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah right, I'm just every single morning, good morning, how
you doing?
Speaker 7 (08:33):
If he wants to bring it up or bring it up.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
Yeah, I'm giving the grand ad eyes.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
If you can't follow it up.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That's the thing I honestly, you're right.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
He should have just he should have just said I
here's the explanation, by the way, and just given it
to me.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, so I don't have to ask. Don't put me
through that.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Right then there's the guy downstairs walking up here here
the guy, how many celsias do you think he drinks
a lot?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I can't even get all the way up the escalator.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Very nice man, but I can't get all well, I'm
not even like the top of my head appears dude.
Speaker 2 (09:03):

in this business.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
All right, well, anyway, security brought to you by Celseia.
Let's see trending stories next. I'm not asking him why
he's so awake. I'm not asking the other guy. I
text you a funny idea. Someone just texted, Go get

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Changed the logo.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
I mean it was just one day, Keithy, like, you
didn't have to change the entire logo in the radio station.
We can put it back the way it was. Hey,
will you go downstairs and oh my god, will you
it's a he's a very good looking black man, bold guy.
Will you just tell him, tell him that you are
one of the producers for the Fred Show, Christopher the
(10:27):
Christopher Show, and that I spent a few minutes talking
about him this morning, and that I was worried about him.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
You're gonna send somebody else to do.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I can't do it. What do you want me to do?
I have to do this?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yes, I mean, it's not like I can just go Okay,
hold on, I'll be back in twenty minutes. I'll just
go down there and just say, just say hey, like
he was just wondering if everything's okay in your life.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh So you don't want me to ask him to
come up here.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
No, he if he has time, he's welcome to come
up here, and we can ask him point blank or calling. Yeah,
But I honestly, I just I want him to know
that for the past however many weeks he's been back
each morning when I go in there, I've been thinking
about him and his story, and I just want to
make sure he's okay, okay, But I don't want to
bring it up because it's really first of all, it's
(11:13):
not my business bring it up. And second of all,
I don't want to start his day with that kind
of you know what I mean, Like if Abby, God forbid,
your girlfriend Abby broke up with you, Ben, and like
and you and I knew that, and you're moping around
here and I'm like, come in your Ben, did Abby
break up with you? And then you have to like
do that, you know, for all of us right now,
(11:34):
I wouldn't do You.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Want me to ask him if we can call him,
but what do you want to talk to him?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I think he's probably busy. That's a very busy place.
I just if you would, just if you wouldn't mind,
I'll go see just go down there and see if
he's okay to be like you, I say, hey.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
That guy, we can do it.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Pepper guy that you see at five thirty in the
morning when you ask if you're okay, he.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Was up here.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
We were talking about it, and he was just worried
about you because he doesn't want to ask because you know,
but but now he now, he just something has to
be done, all right, thank you?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Let me know how it comes. Put in a duncan order,
so it's not weird if I go down there. No,
you got you guys can't be one. Do you want
to use my phone? The points I just said? Do
you want to use my phone?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I want to see me here. Hold on, I just
I'm not taking him in here here.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Kevin, If you just I just yeah, I just if
you could just check on him enough, it's enough.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
You have something in your cart?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Are you buying this?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I don't know what that is? Oh? Did I not?
Never mind? Got recof this the Fread show, This is
what's okay? Well it was. It was busy down.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Now, hold on, let me just let me just recap here.
I shared earlier in the show that there's a man
that works downstairs at the coffee shop at the Duncan
that I thought was leaving, and I thought he was
leaving to be with the woman moving away. And then
a few weeks ago I saw that he returned, and
I did not think that was part of the plan.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I thought he had moved away.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
He mean, he gave me a speech, he told me goodbye,
and then I saw him. And every morning when I
go in there, I look at him and he looks busy,
he looks a little sad, and I don't want to
bring it up because I don't want to go there
if it's a sad, bad story.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So I sent Ben down there to do it for me.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Well, first off, I think it's wrong to pry in
people's personal lives, which is why I didn't do it,
But you did. So they were pretty busy down there.
He was on the cash register and they had a line,
so I didn't get to talk to him because I
just wanted to grab the food, you know, because he
placed it ahead of time.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But he was laughing. He had a big smile on
his face.
Speaker 8 (13:34):
I know exactly who you were talking about, and he
seemed like he was in a great mood.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
So I don't know.
Speaker 8 (13:38):
About all the sadden and stuff. Although I don't connect
with him on a level like you do.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Ben, he sent you down there for a reason. I
gotta be honest. Yeah, you're a sandwich, I got it.
I gotta be honest with you, Ben. The task is
not complete. I don't know what's up with No, no, no,
I said Ben.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I sent you down there to obtain information, and you
were not to come back until you have the advice.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Oh this is like the Chaco Taco thing all over again.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Yeah, Kiki, did you have anything to say about I'm
upset being you did not complete the mission, sir, and
I love how gen Z come in here and give
us his.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Thoughts on what we're doing.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
It's wrong to pry into people's life, first of all.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
It's second about he was busy, so I didn't get
the answer.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
No, that's not what we actually did.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Those personal wives who ask us to no man, I
don't know if you know this, but you don't get to.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Decide I love you. But it's called the frend Show.
And not that we rank around here, but if we
were too, you're at the bottom.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
So that.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I don't like to put a number on anything, but
if I did, you're at the lowest numberies. So what
I need you to do is go back down there
and get the information that we need. And if you
need to be a little pushy, you gotta be a
little pushy. But this is this is how you climb,
my friend. This is how Yeah, this is how. This
is it. This is it love. You were exactly right.
(15:06):
He walks in here and the first thing he does
is give us commentary on his thoughts of what he
was supposed to do, and then he tells.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Him he didn't do it.
Speaker 8 (15:13):
Well, I just want to cover myself for the actions
that you guys are asking me to do.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
These kids.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Training guys, I don't want you more training. I'll be
taking something.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
If Kiggy went down there, it was about thirty seconds
from now, we'd have this guy social security that we'd
know his blood time, we'd know his kids' names, we'd
even know his passwords and his password clues. Yeah, but
instead what do we know nothing?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Man, If you won't be hunger anymore, I guess well.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
He can go very upset, Ben, he can go eat it.
His food's right there, so he can. In fact, i'd
like it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Go eat.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Go put something in your mouth, something's wrong with it,
Go take it back. No, go talk to the man
of the cashier.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
If you would go back down there, okay and get
us the answers that we're Look. Can you imagine if
you were like an investigative reporter and you did a
Datlin episode and at the end of your life, I
don't know, the murder wouldn't tell me anything. End the episode,
I don't know, he wouldn't say anything. So I just stopped.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Okay. Fred's show is on now Money Show.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Shout out to Paulina and Gabrielle at home listening. They
want the Duncan team, they want to know what's going on.
So first of all, I did remember the man's name, Jamal.
He's the Duncan man downstairs, and I remembered it because
of Jamal Mashburn. Oh yeah, the NBA great, Dallas Great.
So I did know his name because that's the only
(16:41):
way I can. I'm terrible with names. The only way
I can remember names is if I associated with a
name that I actually know. So if you're just tuning in, guys,
I had mentioned this morning that the last few weeks,
I've been every single morning, I go to the same
dunk and get my coffee every morning. Ordered a head
walk in there and a guy that works there, and
of course there's nobody in there, so like you've developed
(17:03):
a bit of a report with the guy because I'm
the only one and he's the only one that just opened.
He had told me a few months ago, hey, I'm
out of here, like my last day. My girl's coming
to pick me up. We're moving away, and so I
took that as like a love story. And then a
few months later I walk in and he's back, and
I'm like, you're back. And the way that he responded
to that didn't seem like it was on his terms
(17:26):
or like a good a good reunion, right, And I
didn't say anything, but every single morning I walk in,
I look at his man and I think, I hope
he's okay, but I don't want to bring it up
because it's none of my business. Now, he did make
that big, you know proclamation, I'm leaving.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I'm leaving. I'm out of here.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
That's like the thing on the thoughts and prayers. You
want the follow up, that's sure, you need the answer.
What are we praying for? So I did what anybody
would do. I sent someone else down there to try
and figure.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Out what is happening with Jamal and I want to
make sure he's okay. And so Ben and I can't
currge because I got to sit here. So Ben went
down there, and first he went down there and he
didn't complete the mission, and Mama Keikey educated him on
the expectations of this radio program, which is that you
(18:16):
come back with what we asked for.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
That's right, and he did here.
Speaker 7 (18:21):
Okay.
Speaker 8 (18:21):
So this is Jamal from dunkin Donuts and uh he
knows Christopher and we've just been worried about him.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
So we wanted to see how you were doing. I'm fine, good, Yeah,
what's going on?
Speaker 6 (18:31):
Nothing much, just.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
You know, happy to be back in my hometown. And
the other thing ring back to working of.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Course and just living life life.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah. Great, Thank you so much. I have a great
time too.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Jamal didn't sound okay, he doesn't sound he doesn't Son
happen to be back.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
He doesn't. I feel he's a hard hitting question.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
Work on the follow up question. I don't work on
the follow up questions. My boy said, yo, wor's the girl.
That's what he needed to say. Kicky, how would you
have handled this?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
Jamal?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, you left.
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Here and you made an announcement saying you were moving right,
Yes I did, Kiki, you're back.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
Welcome back, Jamal.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
What happened?
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Well, you know, things didn't go as planned? Okay, So
did she leave?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
You?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Did y'all break up?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
I'll tell you what we should do.
Speaker 6 (19:19):
You get a restraint in order.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
When the program's over, you go down there and get
the actualty.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I know right now, hear me too.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Well, I need you here, okay, but like I don't know,
maybe you during the next break you go down there.
I will and actually completely. Ben did come back with something,
So that's a start. Yeah, And we're trying to teach
the young man, you know, twenty one, twenty two years old, Ben,
you know, Ben Hamen, Benjamin, we're trying to teach him.
When you when you're giving a task, you don't get
(19:46):
to come back and go I just didn't do it. No, No,
he could have stopped any man on the street on
the way there and been like to just say that
you're sad.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
She could have done the other part, Hey, Jamal, I'm good.
Speaker 10 (19:59):
You know, the ladies on my life anymore. I mean,
he would have gotten he would have got absolutely grilled
for that too. But I would have I would have
appreciated even some form of like he's out here doing
some voices, you know what I mean, Like I would
have even appreciated that. But when you're given a task, kids,
you complete the task and people have texted all morning.
If you if you're a fan of the show for
(20:19):
a while, you know cougar bait, Mjay. You know, there
are a number of folks that have been here.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Over the years that have had to do some absolutely
wild things like go on the Today Show where the
sign that said shart, I mean, come on right, come on,
And all I asked this man to do is go
downstairs and get me the you know, the information on
our guys. So we're teaching him here, we're turning him
into something. I think he's gonna be better off in
the future for this job. Oh yeah, because he's gonna
(20:46):
go to wherever he goes, they're gonna say, do this
easy thing. He's gonna go boom, he's gonna go do
it right away and Everythinge's gonna be happy.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yep. So I believe we're forming this. Man.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, these are valuable life skills, walking up to strangers
and getting information from them.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Watch watch how seamlessly Kiki will handle this. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
By the end of the show, we're going to know
what happened to her, We're going to know where she is,
We're going to know. We'll probably Rufio will find her
on social media. I mean, she will be exposed. I
certainly hope she did not mistreat my boy Jamal, because
if she did, Oh boy, no, okay, the thirteen are coming.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Let's Kiki, you single. You know what I'm saying. Jamal's
in that place.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, I don't think that's where this story's gonna been.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know what you got to do to get them answers?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
You don't have to do that. You don't you don't
have to you don't have to do that, stay or go.
The entertainer reports she'll be selling with seven hundred and
fifty bucks all coming up. Frend Job Frends Show is
on it feels good.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Keeps me up at Nikiki, No me too, keeps me
up in and around in circles.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Get a Britney and Jamal.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And Jamal, Jamal just got me? Is it proclemped? Is
that the words? And I don't know what it is
that's me?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yeah, you know, I said this a long time ago, Jason,
and I think you agreed with me back when they
were trying to get Jamie her father out of the picture.
And I said, maybe he's not the guy, but someone
there needs to be a guy or a girl like
maybe the way he went about it. But someone tells
me he was onto something that the rest of us
maybe didn't see. And I think maybe someone needed to
(22:33):
be pretty forceful in her life.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Yeah, I think he took advantage of the situation a
little bit. But yes, I think there needs to be
a guiding light of sorts. And I think I'm the
person for the job.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I think so too.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I think so too. So I'm get not saying what
he did was right or whatever. I don't really know. Uh,
And I he probably wasn't the dude, but a dude
or an or or a woman or somebody, you know,
some being like with all of their brain and everything,
like you know, probably would.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Be mental health.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, a little stronger hand on the Instagram on the
phone with the video, you know, a little more stable.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Who much shaking this?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah? Exactly good news.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Positive stories we shared with you every day on the
show Kicky What you got?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Oh, this one is for Jason and all my fellow
dog lovers. This story says a dog missing in California
turned up more than two thousand miles away in suburban Detroit.
Police in Harbor Woods responded to a call about a
straight dog last week, picked up the terrier mix and
contacted an animal welfare group. The Animal Adoption Society said
he quickly discovered that the dog, named Mishka, had an
(23:33):
identity chip implanted in her with information about her owners.
Although the dog was found in Detroit, his home was
all her home was all the way in San Diego. Luckily,
her family was already planning to travel to Minnesota when
the call came in that their dog had been found,
so they landed there and drove ten hours to Michigan
for a reunion with Mishika. Her owner cried tears of
(23:54):
joy and said he had given up hope since the
dog had been gone for months and wandered away from
their family own auto garage.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
So now they have reunited. Oh well, a lost animal
story too. This one's crazy. A Utah cat's back with
their family after traveling to California in an Amazon return box.
Oh Klena is her name, and the feline, like many cats,
loves to play in boxes, so she left the house
in a large box of shoes that her human daddy
(24:24):
had sent out as a return to Amazon. The cat
was hiding in the box, so it had footwear in it.
It arrives then in Riverside, California, six hundred and fifty
miles away. They opened the box. They find a cat
in there that lived. That was okay. As soon as
the owner's got the insane news that she'd been found
in the box at the Amazon facility, they booked a
(24:46):
flight to California. She did go without food and water
for six days.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
The family is advocating for micro chipping your pets and
triple checking your Amazon boxes as well.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Hopefully that cat didn't eat any of them shoes. You
know what I'm saying. They can't return Rose either.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
You can't return your cat.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
People on Amazon but I honestly, if you think about it,
like my mom has two cats. Everyone I know with cats,
if there's a box, they get in it. I'm surprised
this doesn't happen more often. Then again, I might be like,
what's moving? These shoes aren't supposed to move. Why isn't
you something moving?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
These shoes?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Never me out before the hell's going on? Waiting by
the phone? Brand New and next Docter Taylor in two
minutes on the frend Show. Yeah, they talk better than
they These are the radio blogs on the Fresh So
thank you for your patronage. I appreciate that of my
dunkin location all right, like writing in our diaries, except
we say them aloud. We call them blogs around this time,
(25:39):
kikey dear blog.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
Okay, right with me because this is a two partner.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Okay, the first things first, I would just want to
ask the question of what is the purpose of our
names being attached to our fast food orders?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
What is the reason?
Speaker 5 (25:57):
Because there's a whole number system that works just fine.
I want to be ordered one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven eight. Why do I need to give you my
name when I order my food? Can anybody in here
address that.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
But why is this upsetting to you? Though?
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Because when I'm ordering, I don't want the entire restaurant
to know that Kiki ordered this big back meal. Like
I want to be discreet. You know, a nice little
order sixty seven, your orders up?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
That works for me, But don't they see you going
up and grabbing order six seven?
Speaker 2 (26:25):
True?
Speaker 5 (26:26):
But you don't know my name. You don't know who
I am. Every time I go order food, I have
to make up a name, so I go through the
drive bo Yes, And this is what really triggered me.
I went to a restaurant and they gave him my order,
and they said, what's your name? So I said Ryan. Okay,
was the first thing I can think of. I said,
my name is Ryan.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
He said your name is Ryan. My name is Ryan,
So it makes sense I can see you.
Speaker 6 (26:51):
I was on the phone with my best friend.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That's actually so I pull up to.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
The window and the girl slices the window back and
she says, hi, ke key, and I'm looking like girl,
my name is Ryan talking about But it turns out
she and I went to high school together, so she
was not part of SEMA, but she's working there, which
is hey, fine, But I'm like, why you blow my cover?
(27:19):
And you know now I'm uncomfortable because you know I'm
a liar, you know, and I just came to get
my double cheeseburger or whatever. Like why do we have
to attach your name to an order? Let to numbers?
Speaker 3 (27:30):
What is the drive through? What's been asking for your
name and the drive through for they do it?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Bro, Remember I told you what happened when I went
to Chick fil A and I thought I was famous
because she knew my name, but I had forgot that.
Speaker 6 (27:40):
I told the girl that the speaker.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
So in this case, I name in a fast food restaurant,
I guess chucking every.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Day and it's on your Yeah, but that's through the app.
If you're if you order through the app, they already
know your name. Like I'll go through a drive through.
I'll give them the colde and be like Kevin, is
that you? I'm like, oh, yeah, well it's me and
will be in the back, Like they know your name here, Dad,
It's like we spend a lot of time here, son.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
But whether they know your name or not, the shame
of the order is gonna be a real thing for you.
Like I have shame every time door dash knocks on
my door, I have shame every time I live in
a high rise and someone's got left them in. I
have shame every time I get the call, like on
the weekend, the third call of the day. Turns out
dude downstairs is working a double and he's like, I
(28:23):
have another delivery for you and so and you know,
you know my thing, Like I'll open the door for
the door dash guy and be like okay, and then
it's like three bags for just me my kids, you know,
and there's nobody in there. I'll be baby getting the
kids riding foods in right, hey, everybody party.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
He checks that boxes, like do you need plates and utensils?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Yes, but it's just me. But they just handed me
three bags.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
But it's just me and I feeling and this DoorDash
man he does not care whatsoever. He could not he
couldn't possibly care less what is happening. But me, I
take two bags in and I know it's just for me,
and I gotta be okay, hey, all right, we're about
to eat, all right, thank you man. You know, but
there's nobody in there. It's just me, So I don't
think it matters if they know your name or don't
know your name. You're gonna you feel shame when you
(29:12):
go up and get the order.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm just tired of it. I think we need to
stick to a number system. I think Portillo's is done
a great job, but you know number six nine, I
go out of your mind, Come get your order.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
I die.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
You know, they make a little rhyme out of it,
but like Kiki, you got the double cheese marker with
the extra making me like, I don't need you to
read that.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
That's what I'm gonn understanding. So they say your name.
I thought it was just to be polite, like be welcoming.
But I don't understand why they're saying your name and
reading your order. I think you're the only one that
never happened to me. You're gonna have every fast food
rush really like they'll be like Jason. Your orders like
Jason with the ten piece chicken nuggets and the extra
(29:51):
large front like that never happened to.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Me, and the two chocolate.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Cakes and eight hamburgers extra cake on the side.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
You know what you need to do.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
You just start carrying like a door dash bag in
your car. I'm just thinking of an.
Speaker 5 (30:05):
Order here guys, we just don't need this man.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
Let's just stick to numbers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Just do what I do and wear the hat, mustache,
classes combination. You know that glass with the nose on it?
No one will ever know it's you.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
They have no clue. Wow, they're doing you dirty of
their red.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Thing.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
How did they feel they need to tell the restaurant
like this is from my whole family, right, but no
one's paying attention.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Ye a camera repoort. She'll be chilly next
