Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, so what this is an actual question.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The survey, the two thousand Americans were asked, what do
you think is the most stressful activity?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
The most stressful activity?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What would you guess, moving, landing a plane, or losing
a job. What would you guys say is the most
stressful activity?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Moving? Landing a plane, or losing a job?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A plane?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Right? Moving?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, but at least there's like a happy ending to
both of those. Hopefully losing a job, you're just screwed
at the end. Well, you can get another job, right,
but you don't have something lined up. You know, if
you land the plane, you're going to live. You know,
if you're moving, you're moving hopefully to a better place.
You lose a job, you're kind of screwed.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
For ever, with all due respect, is the only guy
in the room except for Kayln Caylin could do it.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
She's watched enough times.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Who could actually land a plane? First of all, it's
not that difficult, but I mean, but it really isn't.
But it's the most probably the most difficult part of
the entire flight. But it's not that difficult, but you
do have to I didn't know it's not like driving
a car. It's not really necessarily intuitive. There's stuff you
got to know.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I mean, I definitely can't do it. And I would
think in the moment, you know, I would, I would.
I would imagine as a non pilot or at least
someone who doesn't know how to do it, in the
moment that they're like, you're landing this plane, You're like, Okay,
well I got to get from here to there. I
don't know how to do it. I don't know how
much time I've got to do it, you.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
There's so many variables. I would have guessed people would
have said landing a plane. However, one in four Americans
consider moving to be more stressful person.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Really because it never goes right. It never goes the
way you plan and nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Everyone would live, though.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
My thing, you will live, right the move doesn't go right,
you will live if you lose the job. But if
you don't land that plane right, it's over. Not technically,
I don't really.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I mean, it just says land a plane, doesn't say
landed correctly.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, But I think what they're implying at the end
is that you you landed it successfully.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, Like you don't know how to land a plane? Right?
Oh okay, I no, I don't know. I don't and
I'm landing like they're asking. No, I mean because that
would not be stressful at all. That's stressful. It's only pilots.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
They pilots, right, if I had to go up and
land a plane, not landing a place, right, that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, then that's if they only ask pilots in the
most stressful they That gets concerning to me.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
What did you see that TikTok trend where women ask
their boyfriends and husbands like do you think you could
land a plane if they don't know how to fly?
And like majority of them are like so confident and said, yeah,
like what Rufio is doing right now?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Delusion?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah right, I could do it, like exactly. I don't
understand why you think you could do it? Participated in
it once? What not?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What I participated in landing a plane once? Oh that's
one of my least favorite words to say. And I'm
glad to say. I'm glad to hear other people don't. Right.
Participated participation, Yeah, but I can say participation in itself.
But for some reason, in the form of a sentence right,
price and participation. I came out okay, it just sounds
wrong when I say it for some reason. So you okay,
(03:01):
all right, rufio. So here we are, were flying along,
flying along, and I I croak, I'm dead. What's the
first thing you're gonna do landing the plane?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I'm gonna call the people, you know, the control of people,
And how are you going to how do you do that?
I'm going to push the button, be like break, where's
the button on my headset on the little court.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know it is not so that would be
that would be I don't know that would be the
first step. I suppose if you're gonna call someone and
ask if.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm in the plane already, I would know that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, all right, okay, So you know how to call
and you know the right frequency and all that stuff.
So you're gonna call them and you're gonna say, okay,
we have a problem here. Tread's dead and I gotta
land a plane. Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I already tried mouth to mouth, right, uh huh. Yeah,
now I'm worried about landing.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Jason Domino mouth to mouth and that didn't work, But
you know it was his one shot, one opportunity, your shot. Okay,
So all right, so then they're gonna okay, so here
we're flying along. Now you're talking to somebody.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, and then they're gonna give you step by step
instructions on how to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're not technically all alone.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Sounds convincing, like this is the part of time.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I understand it's stressful, but this is the this.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Is the this is the one situation that you have
to remain the calmest.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I would say this guy.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And you think you would remain calm. Okay, he's just
saying stuff. Have you seen one like we go off
the air or something, how you run around here? Or
the buttons don't work? How we all freeze and then
you just like like shimmy in the corner.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
No, I get up and I don't in the corners
in the corner.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
A lot of like.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
When when the satellites don't a line and there's nothing
we can do about it, there be room to.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Make sure to fix it.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
This doesn't look calm.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, I will admit there was one time where that
both of us got in a fetal position in the
corner because we were it was we were watching our
own demise take place. Okay, how would you handle handle
it in the plane?
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
How would you go about it?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh, I'm gonna talk to the big guy like, Lord,
is us on our way? You know, it's been a
good rad Thank you for the good time. Shout out
to the thirteen. I'm gonna live on Instagram doing one
last little.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Video's definitely services, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
We just you know, we're crash where it's not going
to hurt other people. I've already wrapped it as well.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Go swimming.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You know what I would honestly take would in the
jar and try to land the plane over moving. Ever, again, Rufio,
you do not mean that moving is the worst in
the world.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know, you can hire your.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Movers, but that's not the That's not what we're questioning here.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
We're questioning it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It didn't it didn't specify. It just did a move,
but didn't specify who did the move.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
No, that's you're you're moving yourself in this situation. I
don't necessarily think that's true. I think moving in general
was stressful for people. Even if someone's moving for you,
even if you have professional movers, it's still stressful. That's
what I just said. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Here's what I think about moving the well, I think
everything leading up to the move is the stressful part. Agree,
And I've done it five or six times, move my
entire life to another state.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's so much crap. But yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Is What I will say, though, is the reason that
it's more stressful leading up to it and almost cleansing
on the other end of it, is because you're forced
to get rid of stuff, You're forced to minimize, you're
forced to get your act together somewhat. And then on
the other end, yes, you have to you know, it
takes a while to like put everything away, but then
when it's put away, it's probably as as organized and
(06:32):
good as it's ever going to be because you were
forced to do that, So I would argue. And then
and then there's you know, moving at a change all
them I don't I mean all the addresses on everything,
and you got to call all the different utilities and
tell them and and and everything. That all of that
leading up to the move is probably more stressful to
me than any of this. Then moving, losing a job
(06:52):
or landing a plane. I guess losing a job would
be immensely stressful if you didn't have any savings or
anything right now. So I guess all of this is situational.
If the move is being conducted by a professional, that's
less stressful. If you have a bunch of money in
the bank or some an opportunity to go jump to
another job right away.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Not that stressful.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But landing the plane, if you don't know how to
land the plane, is that's that.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
There's nothing you can do about that. It's over. Yep.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, yeah, yeah, you wouldn't even try. You wouldn't even
try it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You know, watch stress at that point, you're just.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Gonna kick back and be like it's over and let
Jesus take the wheel.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah. I just don't see me landing the plane like
Caitlin's been in my car. I don't know, you know,
I just don't see me doing that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But you wouldn't even try. I think you gotta try.
You gotta talk to the people in the sky, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So Fred did in the thing, and I gotta move
him out the way.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well no, could you guys? Well let's assume that you're
sitting next to me. Then you have controls in front
of you too. Okay, so you wouldn't have to move me.
I'm just dead. Okay, yeah, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So it's probably like a I want to put it in.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Park or well, sure, put it in part wheels down?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And then I'm a is it a button? Do I
push a button?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Or to do what? No? No, not exactly? How do
I see where to land? Like?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
How do I know how far? You know? Am I
up in the sky or am I right above the ground?
How do I?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, you're looking out of the window, but it hopefully
you can see, you know, because if you're in the clouds,
and that's another area of challenge. But but you know,
there's instruments and stuff. But Rovio he knows all that.
And then you can all have an alternator too, so.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're all dead. So I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You can't want another context behind this that you put
on your sheet today. Here's the question that she wrote,
When did you question if your partner ever really loved you?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wow? When when did you? When did you question that?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Well? Last night was the night that I really had
to sit down and talk to myself and say, does
this man really love you?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Is this a serious topic? It's so serious friend, are
you playing? I'm not playing because you played too much.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
I know.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He listens to the why No, I mean this is
the same woman. This is the same woman talking about
her throwing yesterday. I'm a single.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, this is the same woman who tells everybody she's single,
but live with the man.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He lives with me and you want to know because
he really loves you.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, there you go, that the way around. Okay, So
what was it? What's the scenario that makes you question this?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay? I don't, like I've never felt so betrayed in
my life. This man went to work last night and
he took the remote to the TV where work and
I was left in the room, yes, with no remote
for the TV.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Did he take it with him?
Speaker 8 (10:00):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
He didn't do it on purpose. But it's like what
am I supposed to do? And I can't find the remote?
And then like I'm texting him like freaking out because
it's me and Lux. We watch our comfort shows to
go to sleep, and you know, real housewives judge matthis
and it's like my TV has a firestick remote which
is so small. We need to address that as well.
(10:22):
That's a problem in amic making. It the size of
these remotes.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But I'm like, I.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Couldn't find the remote all night. Man, I haven't slept.
I can't sleep without the TV, you know, and it
just to be in the house and all I hear
is the air filter thing going offense.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You couldn't I suppose you could stand up? And again,
I will say, a lot of these TVs I wouldn't
know how to operate without the remote.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Tell me about because they hide the buttons.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To make him look all fancy or whatever, and then
I don't know, I don't know which button it is exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So't you just watch on your phone? That what I did?
I don't all night watching.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Time, So I fell asleep and I would wake up
periodically because I'm not used to having silence in the
house and watch the ring camera, just see what's going
on in the neighborhood. And I have not slept.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
What did you just go to another room that had
a television with a remote, because that's.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Not my bed. I can't sleep in another like that's o.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You should have put it on FaceTime.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Feel this right now?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The remote. How am
I supposed to live without you?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Okay, though, that's that's a big problem. That is a
big problem. Have you ever lived without your remotes in
your house.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And you question his love for you? What is he
like carrying it around in his pocket?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Like why? That's my bigger question is how does the
remote wind up outside of the home.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't know what this man with the remote like,
I speculate that he accidentally took it with him to work.
He's just saying, like it's in that, just look for it.
And I'm like, you want me to like lift this
man and like look behind. I'm not doing all that
to find this remote. So I just suffered all night long,
and it made me question is this really real?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wait? So you don't know if he took it to work.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't know where the remote he is.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
His way, you said, So it's possible that he didn't
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, it might be an asse someone He could have
been right next to you, a questioning his.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Left for you.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
No, no, you guys are my friends.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
That is.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
But I searched, you know, I felt all over the bed.
I shook the sheets and everything. I cannot find this remote.
And it's so small. The remote is so tiny. But
that's a serious thing. He should have left work.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Everybody's texting that you can download an app to make
the remote a universal remote. Aka, is I guess there's
another one that for firestick. Is it a fire TV? Yeah,
you can download an app that has it on there.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It is going to ask me for a log in
and a password.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Everybody's saying, that's not your account.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know it ain't you know it's my brother's account.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Well, then ask him for it. You know what I'm doing,
I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm out here raw in these streets because uh, what
I'm doing is is the tantamount to what you do
with the gas. My my TV has been telling me
for about four months that the batteries and the remoter
about out. Oh yeah, and I don't do anything about it.
And I did every day. Every single day I sit
down in front of the TV and I turn it on.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I go, is it gonna? Are we gonna? Is today?
The day is today?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'm just wraw like I'm just out here, just put
it anywhere like I don't care. But every single day
is today gonna be the day? And I think it
takes like double a bat. It's not even like a
fancy battery that you have to you know, find on
Amazon with a bunch of you know, letters and numbers,
and you know the little tiny ones going to be
getting wrong. No, no, no, it's like normal batteries you can
get any single place, but not me.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Nope, you gotta use it till it's done.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Every single day, I'm like, is today gonna be the
day that I don't get to watch TV?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
But you need to morner the batteries now, Bro, you
need to have backup battery for when that time comes.
How do you live without a remote? It's like the
real situation.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
That's like, that's like when you get like he said,
when you get gas like that sign your battery still
got thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
He's good.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's gonna die though, when.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Then, when it doesn't work, you open the thing, you
spin the batteries. Well, no, I've done that. I've already
know I've already done that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
When you switch them here, because for some reason, that's
gonna do something. And it seems you have bought me
another few weeks. I don't really know, but every single
day I turned the CV on, it goes, bro like,
we don't got much left, We ain't got much time
together bro see.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Every single day. But nope, not me.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I don't do anything about it, not a single thing. Nope,
not gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
No. I did realize the other day though, my phone
it's somehow destroyed itself and I.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Don't know how this up.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Oh God, in some.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Way this is that case like that do this guy?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, I wish I had it, because I did drop
it from twelve thousand feet with the force of the
incredible hole. But anyway, so, somehow my phone combusted. I
don't know what happened, and literally all that was left,
I'm not even kidding you. All that was left was
the SIM card, a little tiny SIM card, all that
I could and I take I go to the store
and I'm like, hey, I need a new phone. They're like,
we'll give us the one you have. I'm like, no,
(15:08):
that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And then they're like, well okay, and then I just
all I had was a tiny little SIM card and
they're like, well, we don't even need that anymore. But okay,
where was I going with this?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I had to go get another phone because honestly, I'm
not even being dramatic right now. You can't do anything
without a phone.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
And then the lady I'm like, I'm like, let me
ask you a question. What was I supposed to do
if you weren't open? And she's like, well, do you
have an iPad? I'm like yeah, she's well, you could
have carried that around if you had if you had internet,
or if you had the cellular service to the iPad,
which I don't. But honestly, I couldn't call anybody. I
couldn't text anybody. I couldn't order anything. I couldn't get
(15:47):
directions to anywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
No email.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You're right, I couldn't do any kind of work. I
mean honestly, like we are so reliant on this stuff
that I don't know what we were.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I don't know what I was.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I had to go buy another one on Yeah, it's
real out here. And then the ladies like, what would
you like a case with this one? Luckily I had
the insurance though, right, would you like to up the insurance, sir?
But that other a funny thing was they didn't even
miss a beat. They're like, oh, we see that all
the time. I didn't even miss a beat, Like what
happened to it?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm like it blew up, like, oh yeah, no, don't worry,
we got you. Freend shows up.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, they talk better than they These are the radio
blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Obviously, if you're listening now, you'd be listening about an
hour and a half for the fun fact. Today's fun fact.
He's about the Pope. That's right, Papa Francisco. It's about
our audio journals, like we're writing in our diaries, except
we say them aloud.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
We call them blogs. Chase and Brown take it away,
thank you, dear blog.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
So I've learned that this has become a debate and
a point of conversation in meetings that I'm not in
here at work about what people call me, okay, And
somehow the nickname of JB has like taken another life
that I never asked for. Like no one outside of
(17:12):
this building, like my family never called me that. Okay,
I don't have friends outside of this building, but if
I did, and my previous friends never called me that,
And I guess they got brought up in a meeting
of like, oh yeah, that's JB. And someone referred to
me as Jason because that's my name, and they're like,
why do you call him that, like, it was like
a whole debate and point of contention. So I'm like, okay,
(17:33):
I never asked anybody to call me this.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm fine with it. I don't really care. But like,
do nicknames are they supposed to like?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Are you supposed to tell people your nicknames or do
they just come organically like this?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Now, I just have to roll with it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
By the way, side, note, if you're listening and you
have a second eight five five five three five, I
would like to know what your nickname is, especially most
especially if it's embarrassing, and in addition, if you didn't
necessarily want it to be that right.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That's another thing. It's like JV's not bad.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
No, Like poo you had an explosion when you were little,
tell us about that. I was really sick when I
was a baby, and I'll save you the details. But
poo bear is not for Winnie the pooh, Okay, And
that's what my dad's called me since I was Oh yeah,
there was an explosion of some sort.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Wow, Jbi's better than Poobert, so JB. And so how
do you feel about it? I mean, I'm fine. I
mean I'll answer to anything. I prefer the hammer better. Yeah,
but I mean, I don't.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Think you're get to say in your own nickname like
I think other people decide it for you.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Unfortunately, it's fine. I prefer bathroom did lay whatever you
call me last hour?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't call them that. Yeah, the diddler
that I like it. You guys, have you know the
story about the Luxury Summer camp that my parents, uh
they tortured me by imprisoning me at the Luxury Summer
camp in California for a couple of years, and you know,
I hated it, and I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot
for a lot of things I did when I was young.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It was it was a psychological game. It was it
was it was Mike Guantanamo. But anyway, the wuntlers there
all had nicknames, and it was like, I guess a
similar process to the way that like fighter pilots do it.
I guess they get they all got drunk and then
they gave each other nicknames. But I can't remember specifics,
but most of them sounded benign but to the kids,
but were actually like really filthy. Like I'm trying to
(19:17):
remember an example, but like in retrospect, I'm like, I
can't believe that. As kids, we were like I don't know,
Like I think one name was like Creamy or something
like that, and it's like it was like, oh, because
he likes milkshakes or something. No that that or she No,
that wasn't why. But like what I mean is they
all that's what we called all these people that worked
that they all had Like Spanky was one of them.
(19:38):
I guess he was into some stuff in the in
the bedroom. But my whole thing was just the parents
must have been like, Mike, this is my I'm leaving
my kid for a month with Creamy over here.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I wish I could come up.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I wish I remember more examples, but like they all
had these names and they were all filthy, but it
was like double.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
On tonra kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, I feel like I don't call anyone i'm close
with like their their government name.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
And I feel like I now I'm more aware of
that because I do that too. Like I walk in
a room and just start giving people nicknames. People don't
like that, Arnie. Yeah, I'm arding that people do not
like that. Like I came out like yeah pee yeah
kay uh huh Freddy, Like, that's not your name.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't know if you're cool with that?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Are okay?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, I will say it's a guy who goes primarily
by a nickname. It is a very common question that
I get when I first meet somebody, well what would
you like me to call you?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And it's kind of a complicated answer.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't have a straight answer for that, because Fred
was an endearing nickname, like I didn't make it up.
It's part of my last name, and I was called
that as a kid and it was a bad story
that became a great story, And so it's not disingenuous
to call me Fred. But then you get into the
Christopher Chris game, where do you want to be Christopher
or Chris if we're going to go that direction, And
my answer is always, well, because you asked, I don't
(20:54):
really care. But if my mom is around, it's got
to be Christopher because that's what she named me, and
she doesn't like Chris. But if you just willy nilly
call me Chris, and and one I don't know you,
and too, you didn't ask, well, no, it's Fred to you.
Or what I've also found is people that don't know
me real well, but want to make it look like
(21:15):
they know me real well, will call me Christopher in
front of other people because for some reason that makes
it like they like they're one step closer something. And
I'm like, you only know that because I just said
it on the radio. Way I don't know you. You know
what I mean? Like, have you become Rufio in most
aspects of your life?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
No, just just just here, just hear work, like no
one called yeah yeah right.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And for new listeners, it has nothing to do with
salacious you know, evening activities. No, it's just short for Rufeo,
which was given to you by Richelette because you we
got the character from Hook, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Oh, it was actually given to me by the guy
interned for Mac Who's Oh I thought I thought richet
did that cause you guys look alike kind of right,
because I had red mohawk at the time and obviously
feel the character from Hook had red hair.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So yeah, do you guys.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Give people nicknames that you like, have no contact with, Well,
actually I know you do, because like we sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Get like bag yeah well yeah, or.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Or thicks or hips yeah yeah. It would be like
you know, here come big boots.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Right, I called anybody thick, I would.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Yeah, I gave everyone a nickname, even if they don't.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Know about it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You want to call me sick them, you're welcome to
that might help my street credit. And Christina, Christina, do
not call me that?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
What is your nickname? And why?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
My nickname in high school with CPK for.
Speaker 9 (22:51):
I have a baby, and some of my friends picked
that name and they just kept cp K.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, all right, fair enough, it was it was because
you had a baby.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, no, I had a baby.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Faith, they called you that because you had a child.
I'm like, that's gonna mess up. Okay, well, thank you
for calling that's called team mom.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Let me see here, what does somebody just say my
father in law's nickname is cooochie many.

I don't mind that. Hey, jose yo ho, say what
was your nickname? Bro?
Speaker 8 (23:28):

the gang or anything, and I was probably known as
the nicest guy in high school, but I had a
call of duty account. My name was Shady's back and
there were too many whose days in high school, so
everyone just decided to call me shady.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Okay, all right, Shady, you have a good day, you too,
Glad you called Selena? Yeah, Selena, Hi, good morning.

Okay, fair enough, thank you, thank you. We did this
a lot of years ago. What was it?
Speaker 1 (24:19):
What happened? Remember? There was a guy like Balls or something? Yeah,
and then somebody called it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
You know, I had a buddy in high school's name
was like it was a it was a really derogatory
like not derogatory, but it was inappropriate. And then people
started texting I know Balls.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It was like dz ds whatever, you know what I'm saying. Oh,
and everybody knew him Big D's or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
There was a guy uh in a fraternity at another
my fraternity at another university, and I went to a
party there and everyone kept calling him cook can cook
can like uh, like a like a can of Campbell soup.
And you can imagine why. At first, I'm like, why
do they call you that, and it was like, oh, okay,
cook can I could not call him that anymore. I
(25:04):
think his last name was It doesn't matter Ashley. Hi, Ashley, Hi,

Speaker 7 (25:35):

Speaker 3 (25:40):
He didn't know how to say my last name.

Okay, all right, Constipation. That's not ideal, but it could
be worse. Ashley, have a good day, Thank you. Thank

Out came out yeah forty Yeah, everybody.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Called me ja yeah wow.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
I was like, oh my gosh, no, it's Gina right.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
This reminds me of China. This reminds this reminds me
of And there's a skit about it like a like
a response skit about the Key and Peel thing where
like the the support group for everybody who has the
names that were in that skit where the teacher the
substitute teachers skit, you know, where it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Uh a Ron a Ron and all the rest.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It's like right because now everybody with those names gets
called that in public, and it's like, oh god, thanks,
thanks Kean Peel for that.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Jina, have a good day. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I'm so glad that you you called Elizabeth, Yes, good morning,
Are you very well? J Brown has a nickname JB.
And it's just it just happened to him and he
didn't get any vote in it. What was your nickname?
Speaker 7 (27:07):
Not necessarily a nickname, but when I was born, I
guess there's some things going on that my parents didn't
get my name on my birth certificate. And recently I
found out my birth certificate just as baby girl, and
I laughed, because that's what the lady needs. That's the
regular cash here at Target. Car called me every time
I go, and she goes, baby girl, how you doing today?
(27:29):
I laughed, and she goes, why do you think that's
so funny? I said, you're the only one that knows
my legal name.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Your your legal name is baby girl.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Yeah, my birth certificate, so not necessarily my legal name.
It was corrected with baptism and Social Security, but it's
been a challenge getting a passport.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I was gonna say, what do we put on your
baby baby girl?
Speaker 7 (27:52):
You know baby girl and my baby girl and my
maiden name. Wow wow, But I mean it's kind of sad.
My parents died about ten years ago, and right before
my dad died, he was trying to get it fixed.
I guess it was they had some type of disagreement
with the name Elizabeth because I'm named after an aunt
that one of my parents didn't like that the other
(28:14):
one was very close to. So even growing up, my
name's Elizabeth Anne, and my mom refused to call me Elizabeth,
so everybody called me Anne and I got teased that
they only do that because you're too.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Stupid to spell Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Okay, well, my baby girl has a good day for me. Okay,
good And it wasn't Paulina. She's not here today. But
it wasn't it like they wanted to. They wanted it
to be she or Martha wanted it to be Paula.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
No Paulina she wanted, but the nurses took it like
upon themselves to put Pauline.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Because there's a street Pauline, because it's a street in
Chicago that spelled the same way. But it was announced
Pauline right exactly, so everyone so the nurses were like,
everyone's gonna screw this up, so we're just gonna make
it Pauline. Like that's all up to them. You don't
get to choose that. Jennifer was called bully, Kim was
called pistol. Michelle was called fetus. Oh big al Ali
or the terminator. Hell yeah, okay, god birtha but Kujo,
(29:15):
I'm going through the text hereies Jenny from the block
people used it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I don't think you know, you know, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
I got k Bay from Hurricane Chris, Oh yeah yeah
big in my youth, did you have any ki?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
I mean you obviously that's not your Your name is Makeitha,
but Makitha, and one ever calls you that.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Uh yeah, everyone in high like high school teachers Makeitha, Makeitha.
But now, keikey, I don't even answer to Makeitha.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Where did that? Did you just make that up on
your ear? Just like we're shortening it.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
My parents did, because can you teaching your child to
spell makitha.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
That's torture.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yeah, oh yeah yeah. I'm like, when I was my
name is Christopher. When I was a kid, I'm like,
why can it be tom Oh? I got to be
eleven eleven letters in it or whatever. And for the
longest time and I would fly Southwest. It was too long,
so it just said christ They changed it so now
it's like Christoph Christopher, you know, it used to be
christ Frederick flying on Southwest, I'm like, how you're boarding
(30:12):
first
Okay, so what this is an actual question.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The survey, the two thousand Americans were asked, what do
you think is the most stressful activity?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
The most stressful activity?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
What would you guess, moving, landing a plane, or losing
a job. What would you guys say is the most
stressful activity?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Moving? Landing a plane, or losing a job?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
A plane?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Right? Moving?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, but at least there's like a happy ending to
both of those. Hopefully losing a job, you're just screwed
at the end. Well, you can get another job, right,
but you don't have something lined up. You know, if
you land the plane, you're going to live. You know,
if you're moving, you're moving hopefully to a better place.
You lose a job, you're kind of screwed.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
For ever, with all due respect, is the only guy
in the room except for Kayln Caylin could do it.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
She's watched enough times.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Who could actually land a plane? First of all, it's
not that difficult, but I mean, but it really isn't.
But it's the most probably the most difficult part of
the entire flight. But it's not that difficult, but you
do have to I didn't know it's not like driving
a car. It's not really necessarily intuitive. There's stuff you
got to know.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Oh for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I mean, I definitely can't do it. And I would
think in the moment, you know, I would, I would.
I would imagine as a non pilot or at least
someone who doesn't know how to do it, in the
moment that they're like, you're landing this plane, You're like, Okay,
well I got to get from here to there. I
don't know how to do it. I don't know how
much time I've got to do it, you.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
There's so many variables. I would have guessed people would
have said landing a plane. However, one in four Americans
consider moving to be more stressful person.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Really because it never goes right. It never goes the
way you plan and nothing.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Everyone would live, though.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
My thing, you will live, right the move doesn't go right,
you will live if you lose the job. But if
you don't land that plane right, it's over. Not technically,
I don't really.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I mean, it just says land a plane, doesn't say
landed correctly.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, But I think what they're implying at the end
is that you you landed it successfully.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, Like you don't know how to land a plane? Right?
Oh okay, I no, I don't know. I don't and
I'm landing like they're asking. No, I mean because that
would not be stressful at all. That's stressful. It's only pilots.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
They pilots, right, if I had to go up and
land a plane, not landing a place, right, that's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah, then that's if they only ask pilots in the
most stressful they That gets concerning to me.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
What did you see that TikTok trend where women ask
their boyfriends and husbands like do you think you could
land a plane if they don't know how to fly?
And like majority of them are like so confident and said, yeah,
like what Rufio is doing right now?
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Delusion?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah right, I could do it, like exactly. I don't
understand why you think you could do it? Participated in
it once? What not?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What I participated in landing a plane once? Oh that's
one of my least favorite words to say. And I'm
glad to say. I'm glad to hear other people don't. Right.
Participated participation, Yeah, but I can say participation in itself.
But for some reason, in the form of a sentence right,
price and participation. I came out okay, it just sounds
wrong when I say it for some reason. So you okay,
(03:01):
all right, rufio. So here we are, were flying along,
flying along, and I I croak, I'm dead. What's the
first thing you're gonna do landing the plane?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
I'm gonna call the people, you know, the control of people,
And how are you going to how do you do that?
I'm going to push the button, be like break, where's
the button on my headset on the little court.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know it is not so that would be
that would be I don't know that would be the
first step. I suppose if you're gonna call someone and
ask if.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I'm in the plane already, I would know that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Okay, all right, okay, So you know how to call
and you know the right frequency and all that stuff.
So you're gonna call them and you're gonna say, okay,
we have a problem here. Tread's dead and I gotta
land a plane. Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
I already tried mouth to mouth, right, uh huh. Yeah,
now I'm worried about landing.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Jason Domino mouth to mouth and that didn't work, But
you know it was his one shot, one opportunity, your shot. Okay,
So all right, so then they're gonna okay, so here
we're flying along. Now you're talking to somebody.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah, and then they're gonna give you step by step
instructions on how to do it.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You're not technically all alone.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Sounds convincing, like this is the part of time.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I understand it's stressful, but this is the this.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Is the this is the one situation that you have
to remain the calmest.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I would say this guy.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
And you think you would remain calm. Okay, he's just
saying stuff. Have you seen one like we go off
the air or something, how you run around here? Or
the buttons don't work? How we all freeze and then
you just like like shimmy in the corner.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
No, I get up and I don't in the corners
in the corner.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
A lot of like.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
When when the satellites don't a line and there's nothing
we can do about it, there be room to.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Make sure to fix it.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
This doesn't look calm.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Well, I will admit there was one time where that
both of us got in a fetal position in the
corner because we were it was we were watching our
own demise take place. Okay, how would you handle handle
it in the plane?
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
How would you go about it?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Oh, I'm gonna talk to the big guy like, Lord,
is us on our way? You know, it's been a
good rad Thank you for the good time. Shout out
to the thirteen. I'm gonna live on Instagram doing one
last little.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Video's definitely services, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
We just you know, we're crash where it's not going
to hurt other people. I've already wrapped it as well.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Go swimming.
Speaker 5 (05:19):
You know what I would honestly take would in the
jar and try to land the plane over moving. Ever, again, Rufio,
you do not mean that moving is the worst in
the world.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
You know, you can hire your.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Movers, but that's not the That's not what we're questioning here.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
We're questioning it.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
It didn't it didn't specify. It just did a move,
but didn't specify who did the move.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
No, that's you're you're moving yourself in this situation. I
don't necessarily think that's true. I think moving in general
was stressful for people. Even if someone's moving for you,
even if you have professional movers, it's still stressful. That's
what I just said. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Here's what I think about moving the well, I think
everything leading up to the move is the stressful part. Agree,
And I've done it five or six times, move my
entire life to another state.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
That's so much crap. But yeah, that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Is What I will say, though, is the reason that
it's more stressful leading up to it and almost cleansing
on the other end of it, is because you're forced
to get rid of stuff, You're forced to minimize, you're
forced to get your act together somewhat. And then on
the other end, yes, you have to you know, it
takes a while to like put everything away, but then
when it's put away, it's probably as as organized and
(06:32):
good as it's ever going to be because you were
forced to do that, So I would argue. And then
and then there's you know, moving at a change all
them I don't I mean all the addresses on everything,
and you got to call all the different utilities and
tell them and and and everything. That all of that
leading up to the move is probably more stressful to
me than any of this. Then moving, losing a job
(06:52):
or landing a plane. I guess losing a job would
be immensely stressful if you didn't have any savings or
anything right now. So I guess all of this is situational.
If the move is being conducted by a professional, that's
less stressful. If you have a bunch of money in
the bank or some an opportunity to go jump to
another job right away.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Not that stressful.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
But landing the plane, if you don't know how to
land the plane, is that's that.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
There's nothing you can do about that. It's over. Yep.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, yeah, yeah, you wouldn't even try. You wouldn't even
try it.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You know, watch stress at that point, you're just.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Gonna kick back and be like it's over and let
Jesus take the wheel.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah. I just don't see me landing the plane like
Caitlin's been in my car. I don't know, you know,
I just don't see me doing that.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But you wouldn't even try. I think you gotta try.
You gotta talk to the people in the sky, all right.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
So Fred did in the thing, and I gotta move
him out the way.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Well no, could you guys? Well let's assume that you're
sitting next to me. Then you have controls in front
of you too. Okay, so you wouldn't have to move me.
I'm just dead. Okay, yeah, I'm going.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
So it's probably like a I want to put it in.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Park or well, sure, put it in part wheels down?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
And then I'm a is it a button? Do I
push a button?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Or to do what? No? No, not exactly? How do
I see where to land? Like?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
How do I know how far? You know? Am I
up in the sky or am I right above the ground?
How do I?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, you're looking out of the window, but it hopefully
you can see, you know, because if you're in the clouds,
and that's another area of challenge. But but you know,
there's instruments and stuff. But Rovio he knows all that.
And then you can all have an alternator too, so.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're all dead. So I'm sorry, but.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
You can't want another context behind this that you put
on your sheet today. Here's the question that she wrote,
When did you question if your partner ever really loved you?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Wow? When when did you? When did you question that?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Well? Last night was the night that I really had
to sit down and talk to myself and say, does
this man really love you?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Is this a serious topic? It's so serious friend, are
you playing? I'm not playing because you played too much.
Speaker 7 (09:20):
I know.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
He listens to the why No, I mean this is
the same woman. This is the same woman talking about
her throwing yesterday. I'm a single.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, this is the same woman who tells everybody she's single,
but live with the man.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He lives with me and you want to know because
he really loves you.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Well, there you go, that the way around. Okay, So
what was it? What's the scenario that makes you question this?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay? I don't, like I've never felt so betrayed in
my life. This man went to work last night and
he took the remote to the TV where work and
I was left in the room, yes, with no remote
for the TV.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Did he take it with him?
Speaker 8 (10:00):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
He didn't do it on purpose. But it's like what
am I supposed to do? And I can't find the remote?
And then like I'm texting him like freaking out because
it's me and Lux. We watch our comfort shows to
go to sleep, and you know, real housewives judge matthis
and it's like my TV has a firestick remote which
is so small. We need to address that as well.
(10:22):
That's a problem in amic making. It the size of
these remotes.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But I'm like, I.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Couldn't find the remote all night. Man, I haven't slept.
I can't sleep without the TV, you know, and it
just to be in the house and all I hear
is the air filter thing going offense.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You couldn't I suppose you could stand up? And again,
I will say, a lot of these TVs I wouldn't
know how to operate without the remote.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Tell me about because they hide the buttons.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To make him look all fancy or whatever, and then
I don't know, I don't know which button it is exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So't you just watch on your phone? That what I did?
I don't all night watching.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Time, So I fell asleep and I would wake up
periodically because I'm not used to having silence in the
house and watch the ring camera, just see what's going
on in the neighborhood. And I have not slept.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
What did you just go to another room that had
a television with a remote, because that's.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Not my bed. I can't sleep in another like that's o.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
You should have put it on FaceTime.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Feel this right now?
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The remote. How am
I supposed to live without you?
Speaker 3 (11:32):
Okay, though, that's that's a big problem. That is a
big problem. Have you ever lived without your remotes in
your house.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
And you question his love for you? What is he
like carrying it around in his pocket?
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Like why? That's my bigger question is how does the
remote wind up outside of the home.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
I don't know what this man with the remote like,
I speculate that he accidentally took it with him to work.
He's just saying, like it's in that, just look for it.
And I'm like, you want me to like lift this
man and like look behind. I'm not doing all that
to find this remote. So I just suffered all night long,
and it made me question is this really real?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Wait? So you don't know if he took it to work.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
I don't know where the remote he is.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
His way, you said, So it's possible that he didn't
do that.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Well, it might be an asse someone He could have
been right next to you, a questioning his.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Left for you.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
No, no, you guys are my friends.
Speaker 9 (12:21):
That is.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
But I searched, you know, I felt all over the bed.
I shook the sheets and everything. I cannot find this remote.
And it's so small. The remote is so tiny. But
that's a serious thing. He should have left work.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Everybody's texting that you can download an app to make
the remote a universal remote. Aka, is I guess there's
another one that for firestick. Is it a fire TV? Yeah,
you can download an app that has it on there.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
It is going to ask me for a log in
and a password.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Everybody's saying, that's not your account.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
You know it ain't you know it's my brother's account.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Well, then ask him for it. You know what I'm doing,
I'm out here.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm out here raw in these streets because uh, what
I'm doing is is the tantamount to what you do
with the gas. My my TV has been telling me
for about four months that the batteries and the remoter
about out. Oh yeah, and I don't do anything about it.
And I did every day. Every single day I sit
down in front of the TV and I turn it on.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
I go, is it gonna? Are we gonna? Is today?
The day is today?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I'm just wraw like I'm just out here, just put
it anywhere like I don't care. But every single day
is today gonna be the day? And I think it
takes like double a bat. It's not even like a
fancy battery that you have to you know, find on
Amazon with a bunch of you know, letters and numbers,
and you know the little tiny ones going to be
getting wrong. No, no, no, it's like normal batteries you can
get any single place, but not me.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Nope, you gotta use it till it's done.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Every single day, I'm like, is today gonna be the
day that I don't get to watch TV?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
But you need to morner the batteries now, Bro, you
need to have backup battery for when that time comes.
How do you live without a remote? It's like the
real situation.
Speaker 5 (13:57):
That's like, that's like when you get like he said,
when you get gas like that sign your battery still
got thirty percent.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
He's good.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
It's gonna die though, when.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Then, when it doesn't work, you open the thing, you
spin the batteries. Well, no, I've done that. I've already
know I've already done that.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
When you switch them here, because for some reason, that's
gonna do something. And it seems you have bought me
another few weeks. I don't really know, but every single
day I turned the CV on, it goes, bro like,
we don't got much left, We ain't got much time
together bro see.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Every single day. But nope, not me.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I don't do anything about it, not a single thing. Nope,
not gonna do it.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
No. I did realize the other day though, my phone
it's somehow destroyed itself and I.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Don't know how this up.
Speaker 8 (14:42):
Oh God, in some.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Way this is that case like that do this guy?
Speaker 2 (14:47):
No, I wish I had it, because I did drop
it from twelve thousand feet with the force of the
incredible hole. But anyway, so, somehow my phone combusted. I
don't know what happened, and literally all that was left,
I'm not even kidding you. All that was left was
the SIM card, a little tiny SIM card, all that
I could and I take I go to the store
and I'm like, hey, I need a new phone. They're like,
we'll give us the one you have. I'm like, no,
(15:08):
that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
We're not.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
And then they're like, well okay, and then I just
all I had was a tiny little SIM card and
they're like, well, we don't even need that anymore. But okay,
where was I going with this?
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:18):
I had to go get another phone because honestly, I'm
not even being dramatic right now. You can't do anything
without a phone.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
And then the lady I'm like, I'm like, let me
ask you a question. What was I supposed to do
if you weren't open? And she's like, well, do you
have an iPad? I'm like yeah, she's well, you could
have carried that around if you had if you had internet,
or if you had the cellular service to the iPad,
which I don't. But honestly, I couldn't call anybody. I
couldn't text anybody. I couldn't order anything. I couldn't get
(15:47):
directions to anywhere.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
No email.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
You're right, I couldn't do any kind of work. I
mean honestly, like we are so reliant on this stuff
that I don't know what we were.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I don't know what I was.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I had to go buy another one on Yeah, it's
real out here. And then the ladies like, what would
you like a case with this one? Luckily I had
the insurance though, right, would you like to up the insurance, sir?
But that other a funny thing was they didn't even
miss a beat. They're like, oh, we see that all
the time. I didn't even miss a beat, Like what
happened to it?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I'm like it blew up, like, oh yeah, no, don't worry,
we got you. Freend shows up.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, they talk better than they These are the radio
blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Obviously, if you're listening now, you'd be listening about an
hour and a half for the fun fact. Today's fun fact.
He's about the Pope. That's right, Papa Francisco. It's about
our audio journals, like we're writing in our diaries, except
we say them aloud.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
We call them blogs. Chase and Brown take it away,
thank you, dear blog.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
So I've learned that this has become a debate and
a point of conversation in meetings that I'm not in
here at work about what people call me, okay, And
somehow the nickname of JB has like taken another life
that I never asked for. Like no one outside of
(17:12):
this building, like my family never called me that. Okay,
I don't have friends outside of this building, but if
I did, and my previous friends never called me that,
And I guess they got brought up in a meeting
of like, oh yeah, that's JB. And someone referred to
me as Jason because that's my name, and they're like,
why do you call him that, like, it was like
a whole debate and point of contention. So I'm like, okay,
(17:33):
I never asked anybody to call me this.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm fine with it. I don't really care. But like,
do nicknames are they supposed to like?
Speaker 4 (17:38):
Are you supposed to tell people your nicknames or do
they just come organically like this?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Now, I just have to roll with it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
By the way, side, note, if you're listening and you
have a second eight five five five three five, I
would like to know what your nickname is, especially most
especially if it's embarrassing, and in addition, if you didn't
necessarily want it to be that right.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That's another thing. It's like JV's not bad.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
No, Like poo you had an explosion when you were little,
tell us about that. I was really sick when I
was a baby, and I'll save you the details. But
poo bear is not for Winnie the pooh, Okay, And
that's what my dad's called me since I was Oh yeah,
there was an explosion of some sort.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Wow, Jbi's better than Poobert, so JB. And so how
do you feel about it? I mean, I'm fine. I
mean I'll answer to anything. I prefer the hammer better. Yeah,
but I mean, I don't.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
Think you're get to say in your own nickname like
I think other people decide it for you.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Unfortunately, it's fine. I prefer bathroom did lay whatever you
call me last hour?
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, yeah, I didn't call them that. Yeah, the diddler
that I like it. You guys, have you know the
story about the Luxury Summer camp that my parents, uh
they tortured me by imprisoning me at the Luxury Summer
camp in California for a couple of years, and you know,
I hated it, and I'm an idiot. I'm an idiot
for a lot of things I did when I was young.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It was it was a psychological game. It was it
was it was Mike Guantanamo. But anyway, the wuntlers there
all had nicknames, and it was like, I guess a
similar process to the way that like fighter pilots do it.
I guess they get they all got drunk and then
they gave each other nicknames. But I can't remember specifics,
but most of them sounded benign but to the kids,
but were actually like really filthy. Like I'm trying to
(19:17):
remember an example, but like in retrospect, I'm like, I
can't believe that. As kids, we were like I don't know,
Like I think one name was like Creamy or something
like that, and it's like it was like, oh, because
he likes milkshakes or something. No that that or she No,
that wasn't why. But like what I mean is they
all that's what we called all these people that worked
that they all had Like Spanky was one of them.
(19:38):
I guess he was into some stuff in the in
the bedroom. But my whole thing was just the parents
must have been like, Mike, this is my I'm leaving
my kid for a month with Creamy over here.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I wish I could come up.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I wish I remember more examples, but like they all
had these names and they were all filthy, but it
was like double.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
On tonra kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, I feel like I don't call anyone i'm close
with like their their government name.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
And I feel like I now I'm more aware of
that because I do that too. Like I walk in
a room and just start giving people nicknames. People don't
like that, Arnie. Yeah, I'm arding that people do not
like that. Like I came out like yeah pee yeah
kay uh huh Freddy, Like, that's not your name.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I don't know if you're cool with that?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Are okay?
Speaker 2 (20:20):
Well, I will say it's a guy who goes primarily
by a nickname. It is a very common question that
I get when I first meet somebody, well what would
you like me to call you?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
And it's kind of a complicated answer.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I don't have a straight answer for that, because Fred
was an endearing nickname, like I didn't make it up.
It's part of my last name, and I was called
that as a kid and it was a bad story
that became a great story, And so it's not disingenuous
to call me Fred. But then you get into the
Christopher Chris game, where do you want to be Christopher
or Chris if we're going to go that direction, And
my answer is always, well, because you asked, I don't
(20:54):
really care. But if my mom is around, it's got
to be Christopher because that's what she named me, and
she doesn't like Chris. But if you just willy nilly
call me Chris, and and one I don't know you,
and too, you didn't ask, well, no, it's Fred to you.
Or what I've also found is people that don't know
me real well, but want to make it look like
(21:15):
they know me real well, will call me Christopher in
front of other people because for some reason that makes
it like they like they're one step closer something. And
I'm like, you only know that because I just said
it on the radio. Way I don't know you. You know
what I mean? Like, have you become Rufio in most
aspects of your life?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
No, just just just here, just hear work, like no
one called yeah yeah right.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And for new listeners, it has nothing to do with
salacious you know, evening activities. No, it's just short for Rufeo,
which was given to you by Richelette because you we
got the character from Hook, right, yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Oh, it was actually given to me by the guy
interned for Mac Who's Oh I thought I thought richet
did that cause you guys look alike kind of right,
because I had red mohawk at the time and obviously
feel the character from Hook had red hair.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
So yeah, do you guys.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Give people nicknames that you like, have no contact with, Well,
actually I know you do, because like we sometimes.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Get like bag yeah well yeah, or.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Or thicks or hips yeah yeah. It would be like
you know, here come big boots.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Right, I called anybody thick, I would.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Yeah, I gave everyone a nickname, even if they don't.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Know about it.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
You want to call me sick them, you're welcome to
that might help my street credit. And Christina, Christina, do
not call me that?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
What is your nickname? And why?
Speaker 3 (22:46):
My nickname in high school with CPK for.
Speaker 9 (22:51):
I have a baby, and some of my friends picked
that name and they just kept cp K.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Okay, all right, fair enough, it was it was because
you had a baby.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, no, I had a baby.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Faith, they called you that because you had a child.
I'm like, that's gonna mess up. Okay, well, thank you
for calling that's called team mom.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Let me see here, what does somebody just say my
father in law's nickname is cooochie many.

the gang or anything, and I was probably known as
the nicest guy in high school, but I had a
call of duty account. My name was Shady's back and
there were too many whose days in high school, so
everyone just decided to call me shady.

and then somebody called it.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
You know, I had a buddy in high school's name
was like it was a it was a really derogatory
like not derogatory, but it was inappropriate. And then people
started texting I know Balls.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
It was like dz ds whatever, you know what I'm saying. Oh,
and everybody knew him Big D's or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
There was a guy uh in a fraternity at another
my fraternity at another university, and I went to a
party there and everyone kept calling him cook can cook
can like uh, like a like a can of Campbell soup.
And you can imagine why. At first, I'm like, why
do they call you that, and it was like, oh, okay,
cook can I could not call him that anymore. I

Speaker 5 (26:13):

of And there's a skit about it like a like
a response skit about the Key and Peel thing where

substitute teachers skit, you know, where it's like.

Jina, have a good day. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I'm so glad that you you called Elizabeth, Yes, good morning,
Are you very well? J Brown has a nickname JB.
And it's just it just happened to him and he
didn't get any vote in it. What was your nickname?
Speaker 7 (27:07):
Not necessarily a nickname, but when I was born, I
guess there's some things going on that my parents didn't
get my name on my birth certificate. And recently I
found out my birth certificate just as baby girl, and
I laughed, because that's what the lady needs. That's the
regular cash here at Target. Car called me every time
I go, and she goes, baby girl, how you doing today?
(27:29):
I laughed, and she goes, why do you think that's
so funny? I said, you're the only one that knows
my legal name.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Your your legal name is baby girl.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
Yeah, my birth certificate, so not necessarily my legal name.
It was corrected with baptism and Social Security, but it's
been a challenge getting a passport.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I was gonna say, what do we put on your
baby baby girl?
Speaker 7 (27:52):
You know baby girl and my baby girl and my
maiden name. Wow wow, But I mean it's kind of sad.
My parents died about ten years ago, and right before
my dad died, he was trying to get it fixed.
I guess it was they had some type of disagreement
with the name Elizabeth because I'm named after an aunt
that one of my parents didn't like that the other
(28:14):
one was very close to. So even growing up, my
name's Elizabeth Anne, and my mom refused to call me Elizabeth,
so everybody called me Anne and I got teased that
they only do that because you're too.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Stupid to spell Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Okay, well, my baby girl has a good day for me. Okay,
good And it wasn't Paulina. She's not here today. But
it wasn't it like they wanted to. They wanted it
to be she or Martha wanted it to be Paula.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
No Paulina she wanted, but the nurses took it like
upon themselves to put Pauline.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Because there's a street Pauline, because it's a street in
Chicago that spelled the same way. But it was announced
Pauline right exactly, so everyone so the nurses were like,
everyone's gonna screw this up, so we're just gonna make
it Pauline. Like that's all up to them. You don't
get to choose that. Jennifer was called bully, Kim was
called pistol. Michelle was called fetus. Oh big al Ali
or the terminator. Hell yeah, okay, god birtha but Kujo,
(29:15):
I'm going through the text hereies Jenny from the block
people used it.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
I don't think you know, you know, you know.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
