Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Bread show. This is what's trending. So I
want to know how many parents can relate to this.
This has gone viral on TikTok. It's a dad who
took his son to a medical appointment for the first
time and realize he basically had no clue how to
fill out any of the paperwork without his wife. He
basically knew nothing about his own kid. He barely knew
enough information about his own kid to complete the doctor forms.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Here's some of the audio from this.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Clip though, But I mean, how many parents listening now,
Like whether it's husband and wife. I'm not going to generalize,
but like if if Ruvio, if Jess sent you and
Ashlem to the doctor right now, could you capably fill
out all the paperwork? Do you know all the answers? Yes,
you know all the answers. You know his blood type?
Ok yeah, it's a mix between me and.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Jess, so it's a mix.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, you know his first, middle, last name, birthday, and
you know everything.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah. How much is he weigh right now? Thirty four pounds?
There you go see. Okay, maybe you could do this,
but that's the.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Non default school nightmarried the questions my wife's to that
doctor for the first time.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I said, I'm guessing, and I know I should no more,
but I.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Just don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm sorry. What age your child first? Maybe first malee?
Maybe fourteen months? And reference was clearly indicated at what age?
I don't. I don't even think people parents would know that, right?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Three?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
K four?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Also easy? Does your kid like school? Do you like school.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Of the time?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And I guess it's like, have you ever chatted with
your child before? Like you, I don't know. It sounds bad.
I know these answers about you, guys, and you're not
my kids. Like, I don't understand how a dad wouldn't
know that you guys, I'm a shame the man saying
I don't need to make it about a dad.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I will say, I think in many cases, you've got
dad's going to work and mom's staying at home.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Are both going to work? But you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I feel like moms sometimes wind up with a more
intimate relationship with their kids and dads for various reasons,
or maybe dads are just I don't I don't want
to say complacent, but are we just bad at remembering stuff?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Or we do we remember different things. Is it like we.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Expect our wives or partners to remember these things. Is
it a male female thing. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
I don't think it's a male female thing because I
just said this happening yesterday. I took Lucks to get
a haircut and the man asked me how old the
dog was. I'm like two three, I don't I think.
Then he's like, where's his Rapi's forms. I'm like, uh,
it's not on the sheet that I have. He's like no,
So like we literally had to walk out, and now
Big sim has to say him on Thursday because I
(02:43):
am that parent, Like I just I don't know when
the dog birthday is.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I can't remember.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
It's not gender, he said, whoever's not the default parent,
which is like the parent who usually handles that stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, there you go. That makes sense. It's not a
because I supposed to, you know, it could be anything
different either of situations. But I don't know. Like my
mom would be able to answer all this, my dad
would not. And but it's not because my dad was absent.
It was because he just he never did any of
this stuff, you know, in our family at least. But no,
I don't like, but here's the thing I go to
the doctor, That'll be like where your vaccination records? I'm like, elf,
(03:16):
I know right, Like what have you been vaccinated?
Speaker 6 (03:18):
For?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Him? Like, I don't know. Like I had a good mom,
so I guess everything.
Speaker 8 (03:22):
I mean, I did get a touch with my dad
the other day that said lo L is your middle
name Marie And.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I was like, yeah, oh he doesn't know your middle name.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
I was like yeah, He's like, and this is spelled
m A R I E.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
I'm like, yeah, it is what you understext lord knows
what he's doing.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
About.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Probably you own a house in Troy, Michigan. Now it's
a rental property. And also like how do.
Speaker 10 (03:45):
You not know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Ryan? Hi?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Ryan, good morning, Welcome, How are you?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I'm doing good?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
How are you Ryan? Great? Are you a dad?
Speaker 11 (03:56):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But I did.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
We'll touch a video on YouTube about this once. I
think I saw how like moms typically know more about
like the information about their kids as far as like
taking care of them and stuff and like how old
they are, their their stats and stuff like that with
school and things, whereas dads usually like play with their
kids and get to know their personality and like their
(04:19):
favorite stuff, so dads know, like the fun stuff about
their kids.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Interesting the information. I mean, I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, it sounds like that Rufiel could do both though,
But you know, I don't know what what vaccinations did
you kid?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Head? Uh, he's up to date with everything. Oh, there
you go. Whatever the BC ways percent for? Oh his way? Oh,
his head circumference is like ninety about talking.
Speaker 12 (04:48):
His height is in the middle of the pack, he's
like fifty, and then his weight is.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's in the middle with a big ass head.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Yeah, and have a good day.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
He does have white feet. I'm glad you called.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
My dad just asked, hey, kiddo, how old are you nowadays?
How old are you Noway? It's the nowadays. This is
(05:22):
so goode. This happened to my daughter and husband. The
doctor asked if my daughter was that? Is that really
even your dad? That's pretty good? Hey, Lexi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Hi Lexi.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Is that you worked in a pediatric office and you're saying,
dad don't know anything?
Speaker 5 (05:39):
No, they do not.
Speaker 11 (05:40):
I think it is a gender thing, but I mean
I don't know the majority of the time, it's the
man that don't know anything.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
They do just don't even know the kid's.
Speaker 13 (05:47):
Birthdays or sometimes even the full name.
Speaker 14 (05:49):
They show up on the nickname and I work at
a school and it's the same thing.
Speaker 13 (05:55):
I'm like, what in the world, how are you?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Like?
Speaker 13 (05:57):
How is this kid forty fifteen years old?
Speaker 10 (05:59):
I is like, how yeah, right, because we don't get
they get mad at us because we don't know the nickname.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
How are you? Nowadays? I think Fiel is one of
the good dads. Thank you. I appreciated.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
There you go, Thank you, Lexi, you have a good day.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I love you too.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Now, No, this is absolutely true, and I hate to
make it a male female thing. In my case, it
would be in a lot of people's cases, it would
be my dad loves me. But I mean, honestly, I
don't know that he would remember a lot of things
about me if my mom didn't tell him, like, hey,
call your kid.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's you know.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think you remembers my birthday mainly because it's on
Thanksgiving most of the time.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So how's that it's not hard to remember?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But the truth is I have to write a lot
of stuff down and put it in my calendar too,
because there's a lot of stuff about my family that
I don't necessarily.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Remember, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Paully's birthday is is it's Valentine's Day? The thirteenth is
the day before or after? See, there you go. It's
what I'm talking about. Like, I don't know how old
are you nowadays?
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Kid?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Emily. Yeah, just gonna add nowadays to everything. It's gonna
make it funny.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Emily. So do you was this about you, your dad
or your kid? What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I have two stories.
Speaker 11 (07:12):
One is about my dad, kind of going along with
what you just said. I'm thirty one and my sister's
twenty seven, and he.
Speaker 14 (07:18):
Still doesn't know our birthday.
Speaker 11 (07:19):
So it's always a fun game to play with him.
Speaker 13 (07:21):
Whenever we get together.
Speaker 14 (07:22):
He'd be like, okay, so when is her birthday? When
is my birthday? And he always has to look at
my mom for like reassurance and again we're thirty one
and twenty seven. But also I work.
Speaker 11 (07:34):
In a medical setting in pediatrics, and it's great when
the when the dads bring the kids because I'll ask
them like follow up questions and I'll always be like,
you'll have to talk to my wife about that, or
I'm not sure, can you call my wife?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I'm really not.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Sure, jeez, it's really funny. Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think I feel like my mom always made she
always took me to the doctor's appointment. Still, like maybe
it was like a comfort thing or like a I
don't know. I guess my dad never handled that because
he probably would have been like, shut up, stop complaining,
you know, like there would have been very little empathy
because my dad's a tough guy. But yeah, thank you, Emily,
have a good day. Suck it up, kid. Were they
(08:13):
about to pull all my teeth on dad? And suck
it up?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You won't hurt. There's a time. Ay, Debbie, Hi there,
Hi DeBie. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So this guy in TikTok he posted this about himself,
but he took his kid to the doctor and he
couldn't answer any of the questions about his own kid.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It's gone viral. Can you relate?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah, because my ex husband almost drove my daughter to
the wrong school one morning.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh how.
Speaker 11 (08:42):
I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
She was in middle school and she's like, you're supposed
to turn that way, and he's like, well, what school
do you go to?
Speaker 11 (08:54):
And let me say he's a great dad.
Speaker 14 (08:56):
He's an amazing dad.
Speaker 13 (08:58):
But I think it's one of those things.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
He knows.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I'm gonna handle it like I got it, you know.
Speaker 11 (09:03):
And one other story along with that, she had a
doctor appointment and he offered to take her. Okay, cool,
and she had to tell.
Speaker 14 (09:12):
Him where to go. Where in the park?
Speaker 13 (09:14):
This floor it was on, So she's you know.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I mean again, he's an amazing dad.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
But I got the important thing.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, clearly, Thank you so much. Have a good day.
Yeah you too. Glad you called. Hey Katie? Yes, Hi, Hi,
Katie's okay.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So this is the opposite, right, we were talking about
how maybe it's not gender, but you go to work
and he stays at home, and so he knows more.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Good extent.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
By the way, I'm from Chicago, I moved away. Still
listen to you, guys.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I love you.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Guys are awesome. Well, thank you, but.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Wait, what city because we may have to petition to
go on there?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What city are you in?
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Columbia, South Carolina?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
All right, well, fire it up, guys. Who's on there?
I don't know. I fire him. It's for us.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
No, I don't find I hope they I hope they
leave on their own.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's Jason' david University out there. Oh, yeah, Carolina. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Anyway, so Katie, enough about enough. So yeah, so he
knows a lot, but he knows more about some things.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Yes. So I worked for the Department of Mental Health,
so I'm gone pretty much all day and he stays
at home. We've got three babies at home, and uh,
he knows exactly they had, you know, three poopy diapers,
two wet diapers in the morning, and how many out
of the bottles they all have, and I, uh, one
time I took them to the doctor and they've asked
(10:41):
me that. And I've got a good background in childcare
as well. But I was thinking to myself, I'm like,
oh my gosh, I have no idea. I was just like, well, yeah,
about the standard amounts and how many bottles are they having.
I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm such an awful mom.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was like, yeah, but I mean, you're not doing
that day to day, so I guess maybe you wouldn't know.
But if you didn't know their birthday, that would be
that's that's concerned. Do you know their birth Oh God, yeah,
because you were. You were present for that in a
big way. So I figured that would be a day
you might remember.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
It's kind of funny. They all looked just like my
husband too. And I'm always saying, you know, if I
wasn't there, I wouldn't think they were mine.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, that's funny. You Katie, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You two guys.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You called, uh Stacy, good morning, Stacy? How are you good?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
This is your own dad and what does he know
about you anything?
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Colin knows my first and middle name and my birthday,
but he just generally can't remember anything, like my parents
are snow birds now. And someone asked his phone number
and he looked up at my mom and he's had
his phone sent number sent.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You had a phone.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh so he doesn't know his own phone number. Oh yeah,
that's my Yeah, that sounds phone to look.
Speaker 12 (11:57):
Yeah, he looks some his own name in the context.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I get the number on this thing me, you know
what I'm going to put myself in.
Speaker 11 (12:09):
He's just a surprise.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
When we're opening the guests.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh no, that, I'm like, well, your.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Name is on it now that is one percent effect
in our house. Oh yeah, my mom does all the
shopping and then puts my dad's name on stuff. And
he's like, I'm like thanks, Daddy's like, you got it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's no idea, who got it for you? You did? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Hold on, Oh this is good, hey, Shannon. Okay, so
this is about parents who don't know their kids as
well as we think maybe they should.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
What happened?
Speaker 12 (12:44):
Yeah, so you know you used to go get your
pictures ticket like the little Ola Mills and then go
pick up the photos later.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And my mom set my daddy go pick up pictures
of my little brother.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
And he comes home and my mom says, what.
Speaker 13 (12:53):
Do you think the good picture? She's like, no, right,
she goes, well, it's not our kids. I don't recognize
the outfit, not.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Even the right child. My god, thank you, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Have a good days. Oh my god, how are you nowadays?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
So good?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I have a lot of thoughts about this, but I
don't know if they're linear thoughts. I don't know if
they're going to make any sense. But engagement ring sales
are down. So failed romances due to the coronavirus pandemic
have impacted the wedding industry, resulting in a nosedive in
the sales of engagement rings. To get back to pre
pandemic levels, engagement ring sales for jewelers that include sales
(13:38):
Jared Kay Diamonds TORECT would need to increase by twenty
five percent by twenty twenty six. It's not just engagement
rings taking a hip with the pandemic resulting in brides
moving away from traditional weddings and dresses. Data from the
CDC earlier this year noted that weddings weren't yet back
to pre pandemic levels either, as fewer couples are deciding
to tie the knot. And I would love to know
what people think about this. You can call any by
(14:00):
the way. Eight five, five, five nine one one three five. Okay,
here's my thinking about engagement rings. I don't know if
this is going to make any sense, so engagement rings.
You know, however, many years ago, de Beers convinced everybody
that what was truly considered like a junk rock was
the thing that everybody wanted. Yeah, right, you had to
(14:21):
have a diamond that everyone right, every woman wanted a diamond,
so it became a status symbol, right, And the bigger
the diamond, typically the more you were loved, slash, the
more money that somebody was willing to spend.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But I think it's fair to say.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Can we all agree that for the longest time, a
diamond was a status symbol, and the size of the
diamond was also a status symbol, whether that's fair or not.
I know rich people who wear an heirloom diamond, or
rich people who are now rich that were not rich
when they were proposed to. So the diamond's small, and
they still wear that because it has sentimental value. Okay,
so now they have the lab grown diamonds, right, which
(14:57):
are a fraction of the price. So I can now
go get a three four, I get a gigantic monster
diamond for my fiance, and I'm not spending anywhere near
what I would have spent before. So I feel like
that in some ways removes the status symbol. I'm not
saying that a big diamond that's manufactured is any less
(15:17):
great or or any less beautiful, but it's not as expensive.
So it's like, now when you look at someone's ring,
are you really as concerned about how much it costs?
Because it used to be oh my god, that's a
jalo diamond that was a million dollars. Now you might
look at it and now you realize, well, it doesn't
have to be a million dollars anymore. So then I
asked myself the question of why diamonds at all, Like
at that point, why don't we Why does it have
(15:39):
to be a diamond, Why does it have to be huge?
Why does it have to be anything? Because I can
go buy a beautiful, flawless diamond it was grown in
a lab for like a I don't know a fraction
of what I would have had to pay twenty years ago.
So it doesn't really say anything about how much money
you do or don't have. It never really did because
(15:59):
think of I know people that have huge rings and
they're the women are making the payments on the ring
because that's what they wanted and the dude couldn't afford it,
but they wanted they wanted something, and so it was
like or dude went out and financed a gigantic ring
and then lost his job and then they wind up
taking us on as like a joint household expers. I'm
just saying, the whole thing is crazy. So what I
(16:21):
wonder is is is there does everybody still want a
gigantic traditional diamond ring or are we at this point
going Well, it doesn't necessarily say anything about anything, So
why does it have to be that?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It could be anything? You don't feel this way, No,
absolutely not. It needs to be a diamond, do you?
And you want a big ass diamond. It doesn't have
to be big, but it has to be. It has
to fit me.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Do you care if it was growing in the ground
or in the laboratory?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Just don't tell me. Don't tell me the difference. I
wouldn't know if you gave me some cubans or crodium. No.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
No.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
The thing with me is like I have to walk
around and wear this, so I have to like it,
and it also so represents me, so like I have
to like it. That's all I care about is that
I have to like the diamond. I have to like it.
But I definitely think women still want rings, We still
want diamonds.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I just feel like people used to stay in their head.
And I'm making this some kind of but people used
to stay in their head. You know, I don't know
ten thousand dollars a carrot, fifteen thousand doll whatever it
is right in their minds.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
They'd be like, oh, that's two carrots. He spent twenty
k on that.
Speaker 11 (17:23):
WHOA.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Well, now you don't know, and it shouldn't have ever
been that way. But if I'm going to make a
splash on a status symbol, I don't know it if
it'll be that anymore because I don't really know what
it means.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
But most people can't tell if it was grown in
a lab or in the backyard, Like you don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But at some point, trust me, I'm trying to grow
diamonds in money, and people are like, manufactured diamonds are flawless.
Yes they are. They're significantly less expensive though, so.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It doesn't it doesn't can't tell.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It doesn't mean what you think it means anymore. I
don't think so. At that point, it's like, well, why
why would I go out and spend all this money
on a flawless natural diamond when I can get a
cheaper one this way? Or I could go get get
They're getting so big, I could just go get a
fake one and most people wouldn't know the difference.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I get. Jewelers are listening to me now, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, I don't say that, and I'm not saying that
you get whatever, get whatever you want, but I don't know.
I'm just thinking, like what if I go out and
I go buy some crazy expensive Tiffany ring for somebody,
and then somebody else goes and gets another ring that
looks exactly the same that was a tenth of the price. Well,
then if I were a status guy, we're the same,
I guess, which means why did I spend so much money?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But you're not the same because you know that you
spent a real bad the world. The rest of the
world doesn't.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Well, if we pulled out the diamond tester, no.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, because yeah, I get you know me, I'm always
carrying around a diamond. Oh, congratulations on you're engagement. Give
me that thing. You crazy. Hey Stephanie, good morning, Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
I'm good, How are you?
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
What did you want to say? Welcome? Thanks for listening.
Speaker 11 (18:58):
So I just wanted to say, you know, like I
was a woman who got engaged in December of twenty twenty,
so like right after COVID. I don't have the biggest diamond,
but it's the diamond ring that fits me. It's my
single stone in the center and a nice halo and
diamonds down the band. It did not cost an arm
in a leg. I know exactly what it costed So
(19:18):
for me, it's not about the diamond. My fiance went
in and he picked the ring. We looked at him together,
and he went back and got the style that he
felt best fit me, which to me is more of
a token of the love and the relationship than just
like a status symbol.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, he was listening. He got what he could afford,
he got what he knew you would want. Yeah, that's
the point, right.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Right.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
And I'm a bartender at a hall on the weekends
four weddings, and there has definitely been a decrease in
the amount of weddings that have been happening. Back when
I started, they were almost every single weekend. I went
an entire month and a lie of twenty twenty one
not bur tending one wedding, And I mean it was
(20:06):
definitely a decrease from where we saw the year before.
And I just we're still not married, we're still engaged. Why,
we don't know if we want to spend that money
on a wedding for one night when we could go
and spend it maybe just getting married at a courthouse
or eloping with our family and friends to like a nice,
(20:27):
longer vacation.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, so we're still kind.
Speaker 11 (20:29):
Of on edge about it.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Thank you, Stephanie, have a great day, and congratulations you too.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I guess all I'm saying is I don't care what
you spend.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I just think that maybe this is like the equalizer,
different different products, different trends now, it's like the equals like, well,
maybe the standard is changing now and and I could
spend less on a ring and more on something else
like a honeymoon or or or maybe we've learned during
the pandemic that we didn't need to have a wedding
at all like this, lady, you know, hey, Liz, hey highs.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Good morning, good morning. I love you guys, Hey, love
you too. What did you want to say?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I actually got engaged just before the pandemic hit, and.
Speaker 14 (21:07):
We had started to wedding plan and it was driving.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Us crazy, and the guest list the most price was
just going up.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
And up, and then the pandemic hit and.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
We were ultimately so whole relieved because it gave us
an excuse.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
To elope and nobody could be mad at us for it,
and we spent all our money.
Speaker 14 (21:22):
On It's a great trip, just us and two friends
and my mom, and it was really ideal.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah yeah, well good for you and congratulations.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:30):
And we also got staffhire instead of a diamond.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
See yeah, that's what I'm saying, like, maybe you like
something else better and so it doesn't have to be
the same as everybody else or as big or smaller.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It doesn't really matter. Thank you, Liz, have a good day.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, thanks, thanks.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I mean, so, go buy something, I guess. You know,
do we have any adjewelers on the air.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I don't know. Yeah, go buy from them if we do.
Omar Hi.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
Big more than everyone.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Hey, omar Hi, good morning, thanks for listening. So, yeah,
it turns out that the whole wedding industry is still
sort of down from pre pandemic levels.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Engagement, ring sales are down, all of that stuff. What
do you think?
Speaker 13 (22:05):
So, yeah, you know, I actually married to my high
school sweetheart. We got engaged in the year before the
pandemic hit, and we went ring shopping and you know,
we were thinking about whether we should have a court
dat or a whole reception. We ended up having, you know,
deciding on reception. We had our down payment and everything,
(22:25):
and then pandemic hit. We lost our our you know,
our deposit for the place for the venue. The venue
actually ended up shutting down, but at that point, you know,
we were still looking for rings and stuff, and I decided,
you know, I'll go get her something. I ended up
getting her a nice diamond ring which is you know,
which is which is her birth zone, So there was
(22:46):
no going around that.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:48):
Well yeah, so but no, you know, we ended up
getting married in court, and we were actually on a
fence about even continuing, you know, if we should look for.
Speaker 13 (22:59):
A venue, and we were like, you know what, we
already got buried in court. Let's just live with your parent.
We're still living with their parents. Not at that point,
we're you know, kind of fresh out of college, and uh,
you know, just deciding what our plan was because the
pandemic kind of just threw a bench into everything.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I heard that. I heard that about the pandemic. Kim.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
It did kind of you kind of messing stuff up
for people. Omar Man, congratulations, thank you for calling, Thank you,
thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, the pandemic was that was whacky, wouldn't that whole thing?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Meh Hi? I said, all right, mish miss is it right? Oh?
Hi hi, mish Hi yes.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Good morning.
Speaker 14 (23:37):
I was just calling his chair. So I'm one of
the girls that you know likes the big Smarklee, but
I also feel like I have a good head on
my shoulders, and you know, wasn't expecting my husband Don
Deance to pay the price of a car for a
ring that I want.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
So we did a lot of.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Investigating and we decided to go with something alternative, which
was Moys Night. So still Parkley still looks like a diamond,
but they're actually harder, and so I was able to
get a ring that I liked, but in a price
point that worked for us, and you know.
Speaker 13 (24:10):
We could still have a ford A wedding that we.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I guess that's what I'm saying, is like maybe that
that's what's going on here is the whole thing is
just sort of bringing to light the fact that there's
plenty of other things to spend money on, but other
than other than that, Actually, thank you so much.
Speaker 14 (24:27):
End of the day, it's getting married to somebody you love.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, No, I wish you a lifetime of happiness, not
the average seventy eight years that most people get.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I want you to have the whole damn thing unless
you get tired of him.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Unless you get tired of him, then drop his ass
and move on. It's okay, no one's judging.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, Okay, have a good day. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
She's like, no, I just want you to know I
support you either with more Fread Show.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
Next Caitlyn's entertainment report, he is on the Fread Show.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Well, this is probably the biggest story of the day.
Cassie's legal team fired back at Ditty after the music
mogul attempted to apologize for attacking her at an La
Hotel Hallway in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Her lawyer, whose name.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
Is Meredith, said colmb's most recent statement is more about
himself and than the many people that he's hurt. When
Cassie and other multiple women came forward, he denied everything
and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That he was only.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
Compelled to apologize once his repeated denials were proven false
shows his pathetic desperation and no one will be swayed
by his disingenuous words. Now Aubrio Da, who fronted Ditty's
all girl group Danity Kane, has you know since then
been really outspoken about how she doesn't mess with him.
(25:45):
She also slammed the apology. She wrote, Diddy didn't apologize
to Cassie. He apologized to the world foreseeing what he did.
He says he's disgusted with himself now and he was
disgusted with himself then, but apparently he wasn't disgusted enough
with himself to not pin this statement out of out,
calling her a liar, denying all of it. Leave God
and Mercy out of this. They aren't present here and
(26:07):
you know it. And she included a photo of the
statement that he, you know, set all those things in,
you know, in response to all this stuff. So yeah,
I'm also I don't really buy it either. Fifty cent,
of course was there. He's always there. He said, this
is not gonna work. Who's advising him right now? Smah
bad move.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
I mean it's like you're apologizing because you got caught.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Like it's you were disgusted then, Like I would like
to see okay, so when you start seeing that therapist,
because like I think there's more stuff going on, And
I do feel bad that Aubrey O Day has been
telling us for years and people haven't really listened. But
word is that he was super stunned by the release
of that video, and now of course he's terrified more
is gonna come out. I'm hearing his legal team they're
(26:48):
bracing themselves for more videos and are aware now, of
course that some people who they paid off may have
cut copies. Well, speaking of that, gossip blogger parize Hilton
as that did he paid that hotel fifty thousand dollars
to prevent the release of the footage. Forrez though thinks
that the FEDS got the video while they were raiding
his homes.
Speaker 12 (27:08):
Interesting, so it just as CNN got the hotel was
closed already, right it was, I think, so, well, it's
not in business anymore, but they still have this video.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Yeah, oh I didn't see that part. I just know
that it was surveillance from twenty sixteen, and I yeah,
I think it's one of those two things. Either someone said, okay,
i'll take your money, but like justin Cayes, we'll keep this,
or maybe the hotel did, or he keeps a copy,
maybe they took a copy of it.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
I mean, it's one hundred percent wrong what he did,
but like, if you paid off whatever to get the video,
even if it's the original, why are you keeping it?
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
What's that's some I don't know.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
I just feel like, I mean, I don't blame him.
I mean, I al well, you know what, I would
never be trashed enough to get paid off to cover
up someone using someone else. So I don't know what
kind of person that is.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
But again, his legal team is bracing for more of it,
more videos.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
Bro.
Speaker 12 (28:04):
Yeah, I don't know, mysh, I know, so, I mean,
did he you have no respect for me?
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Yeah? Well?
Speaker 10 (28:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Now and now we have physical proof, right, so I
don't know what more people need.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
It's crazy. In happier news, let's switch this around.
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Luke Colms was joined by San Francisco forty nine ers,
Starbrock Party and George Kittle during his concert Friday night.
The NFL stars proceeded to shotgun beers as they fired
up the crowd.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Of course, they did frat.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
And Jelly Roll joined Lana del Rey of all people
during her headlining set at Hangout Fest and they did
sweet Home Alabama cool together because that festival is in
Golf Shores, Alabama, if you didn't know. Speaking of Jelly,
he shared his most frivolous habit since becoming famous.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He says, don't judge me for this, y'all.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
I promise I grew very humble, but I only wear
socks once I buy socks and mulk. It's the most
frivolous thing that I've done with my success.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (28:59):
I hope I didn't let anybody down with that. But
when you're fat, you can't have stinky feet too, So
you got to have fresh socks.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
One where, one where.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I know has me thinking of the wasteful thing that
I would do. But I mean fresh panties every day
would be nice, just a new pair, right, but one
where socks, Yeah, I mean he's got it like that.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
I love it.
Speaker 8 (29:20):
It's also socks, but still like that's kind of wasteful.
Speaker 9 (29:23):
Like you normally own socks for like years. Oh yeah,
I have even the holes. I have been some of
them right in this economy. Come on where I got online?
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Today?
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Someone threw a pizza at a singer. It's on fresh
Shi Radio dot coms.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
You got.
Speaker 12 (29:43):
Fred show is on the hottest morning show one get it.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I've heard women say that they get turned on seeing
men with children, their children or other children, like oh yeah,
well I love it. Clean up on I okaylin.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Dad.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah no, I get a lot of comments when I
post with Polly. I don't do it on purpose, but
like I get a lot of comments from people. It's like, oh,
you know you and that fatherly look. I'm like, you know,
that was about as long as it lasted, right picture,
But that was it? Like that was as long as
the fatherly moment lasted. That's not true. That's not true
for some reason with Polly, Like I don't she can
(30:27):
drool on me, she can eat her food all over me,
she can crawl it, I don't care. She does like
to kick uh man. I mean she doesn't really crawling
very many like my brother in law, me, maybe my dad.
But she has no regard for the nether reason, Oh no, no,
it doesn't care what I mean, just boom, they don't care.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Just crush it, like just not okay.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
You know, but how do you explain that to it
to your You don't explain that to like how about
not there? You just sort of try and avoid it,
but you can't
It's the Bread show. This is what's trending. So I
want to know how many parents can relate to this.
This has gone viral on TikTok. It's a dad who
took his son to a medical appointment for the first
time and realize he basically had no clue how to
fill out any of the paperwork without his wife. He
basically knew nothing about his own kid. He barely knew
enough information about his own kid to complete the doctor forms.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Here's some of the audio from this.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Clip though, But I mean, how many parents listening now,
Like whether it's husband and wife. I'm not going to generalize,
but like if if Ruvio, if Jess sent you and
Ashlem to the doctor right now, could you capably fill
out all the paperwork? Do you know all the answers? Yes,
you know all the answers. You know his blood type?
Ok yeah, it's a mix between me and.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Jess, so it's a mix.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, you know his first, middle, last name, birthday, and
you know everything.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah. How much is he weigh right now? Thirty four pounds?
There you go see. Okay, maybe you could do this,
but that's the.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Non default school nightmarried the questions my wife's to that
doctor for the first time.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I said, I'm guessing, and I know I should no more,
but I.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Just don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I'm sorry. What age your child first? Maybe first malee?
Maybe fourteen months? And reference was clearly indicated at what age?
I don't. I don't even think people parents would know that, right?
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Three?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
K four?
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Also easy? Does your kid like school? Do you like school.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
Of the time?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
And I guess it's like, have you ever chatted with
your child before? Like you, I don't know. It sounds bad.
I know these answers about you, guys, and you're not
my kids. Like, I don't understand how a dad wouldn't
know that you guys, I'm a shame the man saying
I don't need to make it about a dad.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
I will say, I think in many cases, you've got
dad's going to work and mom's staying at home.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Are both going to work? But you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I feel like moms sometimes wind up with a more
intimate relationship with their kids and dads for various reasons,
or maybe dads are just I don't I don't want
to say complacent, but are we just bad at remembering stuff?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Or we do we remember different things. Is it like we.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Expect our wives or partners to remember these things. Is
it a male female thing. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
I don't think it's a male female thing because I
just said this happening yesterday. I took Lucks to get
a haircut and the man asked me how old the
dog was. I'm like two three, I don't I think.
Then he's like, where's his Rapi's forms. I'm like, uh,
it's not on the sheet that I have. He's like no,
So like we literally had to walk out, and now
Big sim has to say him on Thursday because I
(02:43):
am that parent, Like I just I don't know when
the dog birthday is.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I can't remember.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
It's not gender, he said, whoever's not the default parent,
which is like the parent who usually handles that stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, there you go. That makes sense. It's not a
because I supposed to, you know, it could be anything
different either of situations. But I don't know. Like my
mom would be able to answer all this, my dad
would not. And but it's not because my dad was absent.
It was because he just he never did any of
this stuff, you know, in our family at least. But no,
I don't like, but here's the thing I go to
the doctor, That'll be like where your vaccination records? I'm like, elf,
(03:16):
I know right, Like what have you been vaccinated?
Speaker 6 (03:18):
For?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Him? Like, I don't know. Like I had a good mom,
so I guess everything.
Speaker 8 (03:22):
I mean, I did get a touch with my dad
the other day that said lo L is your middle
name Marie And.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I was like, yeah, oh he doesn't know your middle name.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
I was like yeah, He's like, and this is spelled
m A R I E.
Speaker 9 (03:31):
I'm like, yeah, it is what you understext lord knows
what he's doing.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
About.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Probably you own a house in Troy, Michigan. Now it's
a rental property. And also like how do.
Speaker 10 (03:45):
You not know.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Ryan? Hi?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Ryan, good morning, Welcome, How are you?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I'm doing good?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
How are you Ryan? Great? Are you a dad?
Speaker 11 (03:56):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
But I did.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
We'll touch a video on YouTube about this once. I
think I saw how like moms typically know more about
like the information about their kids as far as like
taking care of them and stuff and like how old
they are, their their stats and stuff like that with
school and things, whereas dads usually like play with their
kids and get to know their personality and like their
(04:19):
favorite stuff, so dads know, like the fun stuff about
their kids.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Interesting the information. I mean, I guess that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, it sounds like that Rufiel could do both though,
But you know, I don't know what what vaccinations did
you kid?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Head? Uh, he's up to date with everything. Oh, there
you go. Whatever the BC ways percent for? Oh his way? Oh,
his head circumference is like ninety about talking.
Speaker 12 (04:48):
His height is in the middle of the pack, he's
like fifty, and then his weight is.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
He's in the middle with a big ass head.
Speaker 8 (04:54):
Yeah, and have a good day.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
He does have white feet. I'm glad you called.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
My dad just asked, hey, kiddo, how old are you nowadays?
How old are you Noway? It's the nowadays. This is
(05:22):
so goode. This happened to my daughter and husband. The
doctor asked if my daughter was that? Is that really
even your dad? That's pretty good? Hey, Lexi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Hi Lexi.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Is that you worked in a pediatric office and you're saying,
dad don't know anything?
Speaker 5 (05:39):
No, they do not.
Speaker 11 (05:40):
I think it is a gender thing, but I mean
I don't know the majority of the time, it's the
man that don't know anything.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
They do just don't even know the kid's.
Speaker 13 (05:47):
Birthdays or sometimes even the full name.
Speaker 14 (05:49):
They show up on the nickname and I work at
a school and it's the same thing.
Speaker 13 (05:55):
I'm like, what in the world, how are you?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Like?
Speaker 13 (05:57):
How is this kid forty fifteen years old?
Speaker 10 (05:59):
I is like, how yeah, right, because we don't get
they get mad at us because we don't know the nickname.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
How are you? Nowadays? I think Fiel is one of
the good dads. Thank you. I appreciated.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
There you go, Thank you, Lexi, you have a good day.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I love you too.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Now, No, this is absolutely true, and I hate to
make it a male female thing. In my case, it
would be in a lot of people's cases, it would
be my dad loves me. But I mean, honestly, I
don't know that he would remember a lot of things
about me if my mom didn't tell him, like, hey,
call your kid.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's you know.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think you remembers my birthday mainly because it's on
Thanksgiving most of the time.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
So how's that it's not hard to remember?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
But the truth is I have to write a lot
of stuff down and put it in my calendar too,
because there's a lot of stuff about my family that
I don't necessarily.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Remember, I mean.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Paully's birthday is is it's Valentine's Day? The thirteenth is
the day before or after? See, there you go. It's
what I'm talking about. Like, I don't know how old
are you nowadays?
Speaker 9 (06:57):
Kid?
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Emily. Yeah, just gonna add nowadays to everything. It's gonna
make it funny.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Emily. So do you was this about you, your dad
or your kid? What are we talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Well?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I have two stories.
Speaker 11 (07:12):
One is about my dad, kind of going along with
what you just said. I'm thirty one and my sister's
twenty seven, and he.
Speaker 14 (07:18):
Still doesn't know our birthday.
Speaker 11 (07:19):
So it's always a fun game to play with him.
Speaker 13 (07:21):
Whenever we get together.
Speaker 14 (07:22):
He'd be like, okay, so when is her birthday? When
is my birthday? And he always has to look at
my mom for like reassurance and again we're thirty one
and twenty seven. But also I work.
Speaker 11 (07:34):
In a medical setting in pediatrics, and it's great when
the when the dads bring the kids because I'll ask
them like follow up questions and I'll always be like,
you'll have to talk to my wife about that, or
I'm not sure, can you call my wife?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I'm really not.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Sure, jeez, it's really funny. Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think I feel like my mom always made she
always took me to the doctor's appointment. Still, like maybe
it was like a comfort thing or like a I
don't know. I guess my dad never handled that because
he probably would have been like, shut up, stop complaining,
you know, like there would have been very little empathy
because my dad's a tough guy. But yeah, thank you, Emily,
have a good day. Suck it up, kid. Were they
(08:13):
about to pull all my teeth on dad? And suck
it up?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
You won't hurt. There's a time. Ay, Debbie, Hi there,
Hi DeBie. Good morning.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So this guy in TikTok he posted this about himself,
but he took his kid to the doctor and he
couldn't answer any of the questions about his own kid.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
It's gone viral. Can you relate?
Speaker 6 (08:33):
Yeah, because my ex husband almost drove my daughter to
the wrong school one morning.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh how.
Speaker 11 (08:42):
I have no idea.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
She was in middle school and she's like, you're supposed
to turn that way, and he's like, well, what school
do you go to?
Speaker 11 (08:54):
And let me say he's a great dad.
Speaker 14 (08:56):
He's an amazing dad.
Speaker 13 (08:58):
But I think it's one of those things.
Speaker 8 (08:59):
He knows.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I'm gonna handle it like I got it, you know.
Speaker 11 (09:03):
And one other story along with that, she had a
doctor appointment and he offered to take her. Okay, cool,
and she had to tell.
Speaker 14 (09:12):
Him where to go. Where in the park?
Speaker 13 (09:14):
This floor it was on, So she's you know.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I mean again, he's an amazing dad.
Speaker 5 (09:19):
But I got the important thing.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Yeah, clearly, Thank you so much. Have a good day.
Yeah you too. Glad you called. Hey Katie? Yes, Hi, Hi,
Katie's okay.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So this is the opposite, right, we were talking about
how maybe it's not gender, but you go to work
and he stays at home, and so he knows more.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Good extent.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
By the way, I'm from Chicago, I moved away. Still
listen to you, guys.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
I love you.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
Guys are awesome. Well, thank you, but.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Wait, what city because we may have to petition to
go on there?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
Now?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
What city are you in?
Speaker 8 (09:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Columbia, South Carolina?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
All right, well, fire it up, guys. Who's on there?
I don't know. I fire him. It's for us.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
No, I don't find I hope they I hope they
leave on their own.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
That's Jason' david University out there. Oh, yeah, Carolina. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Anyway, so Katie, enough about enough. So yeah, so he
knows a lot, but he knows more about some things.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Yes. So I worked for the Department of Mental Health,
so I'm gone pretty much all day and he stays
at home. We've got three babies at home, and uh,
he knows exactly they had, you know, three poopy diapers,
two wet diapers in the morning, and how many out
of the bottles they all have, and I, uh, one
time I took them to the doctor and they've asked
(10:41):
me that. And I've got a good background in childcare
as well. But I was thinking to myself, I'm like,
oh my gosh, I have no idea. I was just like, well, yeah,
about the standard amounts and how many bottles are they having.
I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm such an awful mom.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
I was like, yeah, but I mean, you're not doing
that day to day, so I guess maybe you wouldn't know.
But if you didn't know their birthday, that would be
that's that's concerned. Do you know their birth Oh God, yeah,
because you were. You were present for that in a
big way. So I figured that would be a day
you might remember.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
It's kind of funny. They all looked just like my
husband too. And I'm always saying, you know, if I
wasn't there, I wouldn't think they were mine.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, that's funny. You Katie, have a great day.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You two guys.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
You called, uh Stacy, good morning, Stacy? How are you good?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
This is your own dad and what does he know
about you anything?
Speaker 8 (11:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Colin knows my first and middle name and my birthday,
but he just generally can't remember anything, like my parents
are snow birds now. And someone asked his phone number
and he looked up at my mom and he's had
his phone sent number sent.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You had a phone.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh so he doesn't know his own phone number. Oh yeah,
that's my Yeah, that sounds phone to look.
Speaker 12 (11:57):
Yeah, he looks some his own name in the context.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
I get the number on this thing me, you know
what I'm going to put myself in.
Speaker 11 (12:09):
He's just a surprise.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
When we're opening the guests.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh no, that, I'm like, well, your.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Name is on it now that is one percent effect
in our house. Oh yeah, my mom does all the
shopping and then puts my dad's name on stuff. And
he's like, I'm like thanks, Daddy's like, you got it.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
It's no idea, who got it for you? You did? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Hold on, Oh this is good, hey, Shannon. Okay, so
this is about parents who don't know their kids as
well as we think maybe they should.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
What happened?
Speaker 12 (12:44):
Yeah, so you know you used to go get your
pictures ticket like the little Ola Mills and then go
pick up the photos later.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
And my mom set my daddy go pick up pictures
of my little brother.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
And he comes home and my mom says, what.
Speaker 13 (12:53):
Do you think the good picture? She's like, no, right,
she goes, well, it's not our kids. I don't recognize
the outfit, not.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Even the right child. My god, thank you, Shannon.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Have a good days. Oh my god, how are you nowadays?
Speaker 6 (13:15):
So good?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I have a lot of thoughts about this, but I
don't know if they're linear thoughts. I don't know if
they're going to make any sense. But engagement ring sales
are down. So failed romances due to the coronavirus pandemic
have impacted the wedding industry, resulting in a nosedive in
the sales of engagement rings. To get back to pre
pandemic levels, engagement ring sales for jewelers that include sales
(13:38):
Jared Kay Diamonds TORECT would need to increase by twenty
five percent by twenty twenty six. It's not just engagement
rings taking a hip with the pandemic resulting in brides
moving away from traditional weddings and dresses. Data from the
CDC earlier this year noted that weddings weren't yet back
to pre pandemic levels either, as fewer couples are deciding
to tie the knot. And I would love to know
what people think about this. You can call any by
(14:00):
the way. Eight five, five, five nine one one three five. Okay,
here's my thinking about engagement rings. I don't know if
this is going to make any sense, so engagement rings.
You know, however, many years ago, de Beers convinced everybody
that what was truly considered like a junk rock was
the thing that everybody wanted. Yeah, right, you had to
(14:21):
have a diamond that everyone right, every woman wanted a diamond,
so it became a status symbol, right, And the bigger
the diamond, typically the more you were loved, slash, the
more money that somebody was willing to spend.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
But I think it's fair to say.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Can we all agree that for the longest time, a
diamond was a status symbol, and the size of the
diamond was also a status symbol, whether that's fair or not.
I know rich people who wear an heirloom diamond, or
rich people who are now rich that were not rich
when they were proposed to. So the diamond's small, and
they still wear that because it has sentimental value. Okay,
so now they have the lab grown diamonds, right, which
(14:57):
are a fraction of the price. So I can now
go get a three four, I get a gigantic monster
diamond for my fiance, and I'm not spending anywhere near
what I would have spent before. So I feel like
that in some ways removes the status symbol. I'm not
saying that a big diamond that's manufactured is any less
(15:17):
great or or any less beautiful, but it's not as expensive.
So it's like, now when you look at someone's ring,
are you really as concerned about how much it costs?
Because it used to be oh my god, that's a
jalo diamond that was a million dollars. Now you might
look at it and now you realize, well, it doesn't
have to be a million dollars anymore. So then I
asked myself the question of why diamonds at all, Like
at that point, why don't we Why does it have
(15:39):
to be a diamond, Why does it have to be huge?
Why does it have to be anything? Because I can
go buy a beautiful, flawless diamond it was grown in
a lab for like a I don't know a fraction
of what I would have had to pay twenty years ago.
So it doesn't really say anything about how much money
you do or don't have. It never really did because
(15:59):
think of I know people that have huge rings and
they're the women are making the payments on the ring
because that's what they wanted and the dude couldn't afford it,
but they wanted they wanted something, and so it was
like or dude went out and financed a gigantic ring
and then lost his job and then they wind up
taking us on as like a joint household expers. I'm
just saying, the whole thing is crazy. So what I
(16:21):
wonder is is is there does everybody still want a
gigantic traditional diamond ring or are we at this point
going Well, it doesn't necessarily say anything about anything, So
why does it have to be that?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It could be anything? You don't feel this way, No,
absolutely not. It needs to be a diamond, do you?
And you want a big ass diamond. It doesn't have
to be big, but it has to be. It has
to fit me.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Do you care if it was growing in the ground
or in the laboratory?
Speaker 7 (16:48):
Just don't tell me. Don't tell me the difference. I
wouldn't know if you gave me some cubans or crodium. No.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
No.
Speaker 7 (16:53):
The thing with me is like I have to walk
around and wear this, so I have to like it,
and it also so represents me, so like I have
to like it. That's all I care about is that
I have to like the diamond. I have to like it.
But I definitely think women still want rings, We still
want diamonds.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I just feel like people used to stay in their head.
And I'm making this some kind of but people used
to stay in their head. You know, I don't know
ten thousand dollars a carrot, fifteen thousand doll whatever it
is right in their minds.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
They'd be like, oh, that's two carrots. He spent twenty
k on that.
Speaker 11 (17:23):
WHOA.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Well, now you don't know, and it shouldn't have ever
been that way. But if I'm going to make a
splash on a status symbol, I don't know it if
it'll be that anymore because I don't really know what
it means.
Speaker 7 (17:35):
But most people can't tell if it was grown in
a lab or in the backyard, Like you don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
But at some point, trust me, I'm trying to grow
diamonds in money, and people are like, manufactured diamonds are flawless.
Yes they are. They're significantly less expensive though, so.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It doesn't it doesn't can't tell.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It doesn't mean what you think it means anymore. I
don't think so. At that point, it's like, well, why
why would I go out and spend all this money
on a flawless natural diamond when I can get a
cheaper one this way? Or I could go get get
They're getting so big, I could just go get a
fake one and most people wouldn't know the difference.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I get. Jewelers are listening to me now, I'm going.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, I don't say that, and I'm not saying that
you get whatever, get whatever you want, but I don't know.
I'm just thinking, like what if I go out and
I go buy some crazy expensive Tiffany ring for somebody,
and then somebody else goes and gets another ring that
looks exactly the same that was a tenth of the price. Well,
then if I were a status guy, we're the same,
I guess, which means why did I spend so much money?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
But you're not the same because you know that you
spent a real bad the world. The rest of the
world doesn't.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
Well, if we pulled out the diamond tester, no.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Okay, because yeah, I get you know me, I'm always
carrying around a diamond. Oh, congratulations on you're engagement. Give
me that thing. You crazy. Hey Stephanie, good morning, Stephanie.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (18:53):
I'm good, How are you?
Speaker 8 (18:54):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
What did you want to say? Welcome? Thanks for listening.
Speaker 11 (18:58):
So I just wanted to say, you know, like I
was a woman who got engaged in December of twenty twenty,
so like right after COVID. I don't have the biggest diamond,
but it's the diamond ring that fits me. It's my
single stone in the center and a nice halo and
diamonds down the band. It did not cost an arm
in a leg. I know exactly what it costed So
(19:18):
for me, it's not about the diamond. My fiance went
in and he picked the ring. We looked at him together,
and he went back and got the style that he
felt best fit me, which to me is more of
a token of the love and the relationship than just
like a status symbol.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Yeah, he was listening. He got what he could afford,
he got what he knew you would want. Yeah, that's
the point, right.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Right.
Speaker 11 (19:43):
And I'm a bartender at a hall on the weekends
four weddings, and there has definitely been a decrease in
the amount of weddings that have been happening. Back when
I started, they were almost every single weekend. I went
an entire month and a lie of twenty twenty one
not bur tending one wedding, And I mean it was
(20:06):
definitely a decrease from where we saw the year before.
And I just we're still not married, we're still engaged. Why,
we don't know if we want to spend that money
on a wedding for one night when we could go
and spend it maybe just getting married at a courthouse
or eloping with our family and friends to like a nice,
(20:27):
longer vacation.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, so we're still kind.
Speaker 11 (20:29):
Of on edge about it.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Thank you, Stephanie, have a great day, and congratulations you too.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I guess all I'm saying is I don't care what
you spend.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I just think that maybe this is like the equalizer,
different different products, different trends now, it's like the equals like, well,
maybe the standard is changing now and and I could
spend less on a ring and more on something else
like a honeymoon or or or maybe we've learned during
the pandemic that we didn't need to have a wedding
at all like this, lady, you know, hey, Liz, hey highs.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Good morning, good morning. I love you guys, Hey, love
you too. What did you want to say?
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I actually got engaged just before the pandemic hit, and.
Speaker 14 (21:07):
We had started to wedding plan and it was driving.
Speaker 9 (21:09):
Us crazy, and the guest list the most price was
just going up.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
And up, and then the pandemic hit and.
Speaker 11 (21:14):
We were ultimately so whole relieved because it gave us
an excuse.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
To elope and nobody could be mad at us for it,
and we spent all our money.
Speaker 14 (21:22):
On It's a great trip, just us and two friends
and my mom, and it was really ideal.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah yeah, well good for you and congratulations.
Speaker 6 (21:30):
Thank you.
Speaker 13 (21:30):
And we also got staffhire instead of a diamond.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
See yeah, that's what I'm saying, like, maybe you like
something else better and so it doesn't have to be
the same as everybody else or as big or smaller.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
It doesn't really matter. Thank you, Liz, have a good day.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, thanks, thanks.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I mean, so, go buy something, I guess. You know,
do we have any adjewelers on the air.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I don't know. Yeah, go buy from them if we do.
Omar Hi.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
Big more than everyone.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Hey, omar Hi, good morning, thanks for listening. So, yeah,
it turns out that the whole wedding industry is still
sort of down from pre pandemic levels.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Engagement, ring sales are down, all of that stuff. What
do you think?
Speaker 13 (22:05):
So, yeah, you know, I actually married to my high
school sweetheart. We got engaged in the year before the
pandemic hit, and we went ring shopping and you know,
we were thinking about whether we should have a court
dat or a whole reception. We ended up having, you know,
deciding on reception. We had our down payment and everything,
(22:25):
and then pandemic hit. We lost our our you know,
our deposit for the place for the venue. The venue
actually ended up shutting down, but at that point, you know,
we were still looking for rings and stuff, and I decided,
you know, I'll go get her something. I ended up
getting her a nice diamond ring which is you know,
which is which is her birth zone, So there was
(22:46):
no going around that.
Speaker 8 (22:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (22:48):
Well yeah, so but no, you know, we ended up
getting married in court, and we were actually on a
fence about even continuing, you know, if we should look for.
Speaker 13 (22:59):
A venue, and we were like, you know what, we
already got buried in court. Let's just live with your parent.
We're still living with their parents. Not at that point,
we're you know, kind of fresh out of college, and uh,
you know, just deciding what our plan was because the
pandemic kind of just threw a bench into everything.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I heard that. I heard that about the pandemic. Kim.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
It did kind of you kind of messing stuff up
for people. Omar Man, congratulations, thank you for calling, Thank you,
thanks so much.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Yeah, the pandemic was that was whacky, wouldn't that whole thing?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Meh Hi? I said, all right, mish miss is it right? Oh?
Hi hi, mish Hi yes.
Speaker 11 (23:37):
Good morning.
Speaker 14 (23:37):
I was just calling his chair. So I'm one of
the girls that you know likes the big Smarklee, but
I also feel like I have a good head on
my shoulders, and you know, wasn't expecting my husband Don
Deance to pay the price of a car for a
ring that I want.
Speaker 13 (23:51):
So we did a lot of.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Investigating and we decided to go with something alternative, which
was Moys Night. So still Parkley still looks like a diamond,
but they're actually harder, and so I was able to
get a ring that I liked, but in a price
point that worked for us, and you know.
Speaker 13 (24:10):
We could still have a ford A wedding that we.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I guess that's what I'm saying, is like maybe that
that's what's going on here is the whole thing is
just sort of bringing to light the fact that there's
plenty of other things to spend money on, but other
than other than that, Actually, thank you so much.
Speaker 14 (24:27):
End of the day, it's getting married to somebody you love.
Speaker 13 (24:30):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, No, I wish you a lifetime of happiness, not
the average seventy eight years that most people get.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
I want you to have the whole damn thing unless
you get tired of him.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Unless you get tired of him, then drop his ass
and move on. It's okay, no one's judging.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Yeah, Okay, have a good day. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
She's like, no, I just want you to know I
support you either with more Fread Show.
Speaker 10 (24:50):
Next Caitlyn's entertainment report, he is on the Fread Show.
Speaker 8 (24:56):
Well, this is probably the biggest story of the day.
Cassie's legal team fired back at Ditty after the music
mogul attempted to apologize for attacking her at an La
Hotel Hallway in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Her lawyer, whose name.
Speaker 8 (25:10):
Is Meredith, said colmb's most recent statement is more about
himself and than the many people that he's hurt. When
Cassie and other multiple women came forward, he denied everything
and suggested that his victims were looking for a payday.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
That he was only.
Speaker 8 (25:25):
Compelled to apologize once his repeated denials were proven false
shows his pathetic desperation and no one will be swayed
by his disingenuous words. Now Aubrio Da, who fronted Ditty's
all girl group Danity Kane, has you know since then
been really outspoken about how she doesn't mess with him.
(25:45):
She also slammed the apology. She wrote, Diddy didn't apologize
to Cassie. He apologized to the world foreseeing what he did.
He says he's disgusted with himself now and he was
disgusted with himself then, but apparently he wasn't disgusted enough
with himself to not pin this statement out of out,
calling her a liar, denying all of it. Leave God
and Mercy out of this. They aren't present here and
(26:07):
you know it. And she included a photo of the
statement that he, you know, set all those things in,
you know, in response to all this stuff. So yeah,
I'm also I don't really buy it either. Fifty cent,
of course was there. He's always there. He said, this
is not gonna work. Who's advising him right now? Smah
bad move.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
I mean it's like you're apologizing because you got caught.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
Like it's you were disgusted then, Like I would like
to see okay, so when you start seeing that therapist,
because like I think there's more stuff going on, And
I do feel bad that Aubrey O Day has been
telling us for years and people haven't really listened. But
word is that he was super stunned by the release
of that video, and now of course he's terrified more
is gonna come out. I'm hearing his legal team they're
(26:48):
bracing themselves for more videos and are aware now, of
course that some people who they paid off may have
cut copies. Well, speaking of that, gossip blogger parize Hilton
as that did he paid that hotel fifty thousand dollars
to prevent the release of the footage. Forrez though thinks
that the FEDS got the video while they were raiding
his homes.
Speaker 12 (27:08):
Interesting, so it just as CNN got the hotel was
closed already, right it was, I think, so, well, it's
not in business anymore, but they still have this video.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Yeah, oh I didn't see that part. I just know
that it was surveillance from twenty sixteen, and I yeah,
I think it's one of those two things. Either someone said, okay,
i'll take your money, but like justin Cayes, we'll keep this,
or maybe the hotel did, or he keeps a copy,
maybe they took a copy of it.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 12 (27:37):
I mean, it's one hundred percent wrong what he did,
but like, if you paid off whatever to get the video,
even if it's the original, why are you keeping it?
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Like?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
What's that's some I don't know.
Speaker 8 (27:49):
I just feel like, I mean, I don't blame him.
I mean, I al well, you know what, I would
never be trashed enough to get paid off to cover
up someone using someone else. So I don't know what
kind of person that is.
Speaker 12 (28:00):
But again, his legal team is bracing for more of it,
more videos.
Speaker 9 (28:03):
Bro.
Speaker 12 (28:04):
