Speaker 1 (00:00):
You guys have been asking for it, morality Monday. For
some reason, we didn't do it on Monday, So morality Thursday.
It is finally I have it here, we have time.
You ready, you guys ready for this?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I can? I bet I can ready for four days.
It's also a.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Tease, you know, he got a two date every morning.
See if I'm going to do the thing that was
supposed to be on Monday. I don't know what is
it with the alliteration. Why does it have to rhyme?
But it doesn't have to rhyme. It was my phone,
all right, I already can. I bet I can guess
how some people would.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I bet.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
There's no way for me to say, but I in
my mind, I already can guess what everybody is going
to do based on having read this scenario and knowing
you guys so well. But here it is morality Monday
eight five five five three five. You can call or
a textas same number. I want to know what you
would do in your weekly team meeting with your supervisor.
One of your coworkers takes credit for a time and
(00:51):
money saving change in operating procedures that you devised your
supervisor erroneously thinks that your coworker came up with the chain,
and your co worker doesn't correct the misinterpretation, but allows
the boss to not only commend him, but offer him
a bonus. Do you go to your co worker and
demand that he or she correct the situation. Do you
(01:14):
go to your supervisor and explain that you should receive
the accommodation or reward, or do you say nothing because
you don't believe in ownership of ideas and you're a
team player. Go ahead, Kevin, tell us how to tell
us how you'd go to the boss and tell them
it was your idea.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'm saying something right then and there during the presentation.
I'm not gonna go talk to the boss and one
and one, I'm gonna confront that person right then and there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's your idea. Someone takes it right in front of you.
The boss says a great idea, and then here's more money.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
No, thank you, up, stop the meeting.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
That was my idea, and I'm gonna call it. I'm
gonna call the co worker in front everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, okay. I would have bet that that was what
you would say, Caitlin. I bet i'd know what you would.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Do, do you.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
I'm curious it has happened to me, and I didn't
say anything. I just got really really mad inside my
head and stormed around my apartment just thinking of things
that I could have said, and then did nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But the good news in your case was other people
then rectified it kind of.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I wasn't talking about that.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I was thinking of one where someone jacked an idea
from you and then the rest of us, individually at
different times, made sure that everybody knew that it was
your idea.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
You guys are straight for that that I was okay
with because it was just doing good in the universe,
So that one I let go.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
But you guys were great to like, what.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Did I get a bonus for it was your idea?
To tell me, no, nothing you did.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
No, No, I.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Think any bonus like it is your idea, So it's.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't haven't gotten one in a while. But if
I did, you.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Know, No, that was nice speak that one. I didn't care.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
I've also had this happen to me several times. It
really makes me upset. I'm not gonna lie, it really
makes me upset. But I never say a word and
It's even worse when I've had I've had a boss
do it to me, yes, and we're in a meeting
and I'm literally watching my boss word for word, rattle
off my idea and like take full credit. And I'm
(03:12):
just sitting there like are we serious right now?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But I don't.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
I never say a word because I always feel like
it's all going to play out how it's supposed to
play out, and I'm going to get my just due eventually,
So like I'll let you lie and scheme and play
these games and then I'll hire you one day.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You know. That's how I think about it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Like I literally I'll bitch to you guys and hear
about it, but I won't do much about it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'll just let it happen because it happens a lot.
It does.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
It does, and it's such it's such big weirdo energy,
like such, are you that comfortable pretending that if you
came up with an idea? Or you're that comfortable pretending
that you did something you know you didn't.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
I try to figure it out, Like the psychology, I'm like,
either you believe your own lives, really are convincing yourself
or the audacity Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Weird you'd like to think that the person who you'd
like to think it was because I believe strongly in karma.
I really do, and I don't always do the right thing,
but I guess, I guess for me, and this is
a different conversation, but with karma, like when I do
the wrong thing, then I try and go do a
right thing to hopefully negate the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't know if that works.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Like, for example, I try and fly as many rescue
animals to new homes as I can, because my god,
if one rescue dog saved equates one really stupid thing
that I've done, I mean, I'm gonna need to fly
about eight thousand dogs. I'm gonna need to get a
cargo plane full of animals. But nonetheless, I don't know.
I just I think like if I can offset every
bad thing with a couple of good things, and I'm equal.
But I don't know where I was going with. But no,
(04:39):
I'm not I'm not gonna stand up. I'm gonna I'm
just gonna I'm gonna let it play out as it
goes rather than make a scene right there, I'm just
gonna let it happen.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Ran I know.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
Okay, so the old me yes relates a lot to
the ladies here as far as like just say nothing,
walk around whatever. But it's been a long, sick seven
years in my current place of employment and my current
place of living of just being.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So my new thing is that I'm dead serious is.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
I don't call people out or whatever, like kind of
do what Rufio says.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I'm more sneaky about it, so like.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
Not so much so like if let's just say this
happens right now, and like I'm making this up like
you were like, okay, the idea was so beautiful and
great or whatever, like I would jump in then and
there I'm using my voice now.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
It's the thing, you know, I'm trying to do is
use my voice. And I'll be like, yeah, we collaborated
on that.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
And we did this, this and this and this was
you know, something that I thought of and I thought
you'd really like it. Like I will just talk now,
just to talk because at this point, like you know
what I mean, if you don't open your mouth, closed
mouths don't get fed, guys, and they just don't get fed.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting another six years.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
No Yeah, don't you think it makes you look kind
of weird?
Speaker 9 (05:47):
It does, it doesn't, but then you're the weirdo who's
ready a lot of weirdos.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And the problem is, like, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
When it comes to stuff like that, you're counting on
the person who stole from you or lied about you
or or you're counting on them to have self awareness,
and you're counting on them like if you don't say anything,
like in my mind, I wouldn't say anything. And then
in my mind, I'm hoping that they go home or
drive home from work and they realize in their mind
they're tortured by the fact that they got rewarded for
something they didn't come up with. The problem is, most
(06:15):
of the time with people like that, they don't think
like that. That's why they stole from you. Yeah, so
they're not really thinking and that just makes me even
more mad. You just stole from me and you're not
and I know you don't feel bad about it.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, you're putting like your own moral compass on someone
else and they probably have a different.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Because that's my thing, Like when I screw up, I
know I screwed up, and no one's going to be
harder on me than me so at least if I'm
going to do something crappy and not own it, I'm
going to beat myself up worse than anybody could beat
me up. And usually anyone who knows if I did
something to you, then you should know that's what's happening.
I'm going to torture myself worse than anybody else can
torture me. But most people that steal or do things
(06:52):
like that, I don't care. They don't think like that.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
They're living peacefully and your your piece is disrupted, you know,
if I storm around in a.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
Circle in my mind to Arthur fits that time advocate
of that too, like Caylen said, like or and you
mentioned too, Fred, Like if I know something of someone
else's idea, I will give credit. Then in there I'll
be like, oh, yeah, you know, this happens all the
time in our industry. People think something's one person's idea
and that's not their fault, like they.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Just assumed or whatever.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
And I love when somebody corrects them and says, oh,
this was actually Bob's idea or Jan's idea.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yeah, And I can do it for other people, just
not for myself, we gotta work.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
On that, ladies. Let's go get information.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Girls.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, a lot of people are saying they would say something,
and I can understand why. I agree with what you're saying,
Paulina that you know you can't get walked on. But
I guess I would have to really evaluate if I'm
gonna call somebody out in the room, like what what's
really in it for me?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Like because someone pointed out is it a twenty dollars
gift card or a thousand dollars cash bonus? You know,
It's like I guess I would have to think in
my mind, like is making a scene right now? Even
if I'm right, does that somehow make me look like
less of a team player? Because that's it could be
flipped too. It could be like Fred, but why did
you have to take that? You didn't have to take
that one. Let that person have it, you know what
I mean, That's what I would think in my head.
(08:05):
But if it were like you get a promotion or
you don't, and it was my idea, we're gonna I mean,
I'm not gonna not take the promotion because I'm not
willing to stand up for myself but at the same time,
if it's like it's silly idea and oh okay, here's
a metal in a free sandwich, I'm okay if you
can have it.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Sometimes it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
About the reward, and I just want the recognition, you
know what I'm saying, Like just to be recognized for
having a good idea or like, hey, you came up
with that idea? Is the recognition is worth all of it,
you know, Like I don't give I it's a twenty
dollars gift card or one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I just want the recognition.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I want to be recognized for something I said, and
it's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
But I will say, in some places of business, I'm
trying to think how to say this artfully, not necessarily
this one, but management will go out of their way
to elevate tasks by some people and not others. And
I think it's because they just expect certain people to
have the those ideas and have it, or it's like, well,
(09:02):
that person makes more money, or that person has a
higher profile, or that person has a better life, so
we don't need to recognize them. These people here, we
need to recognize them because you know, we don't. We
don't think as much about what you know what I mean,
And I don't think that's fair either.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You get punished for being good at your job and
being consistent.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I always think that's true.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
I will die on If you're someone that's reliable and
always does what you say you're going to do, then
you get overlooked because that's what's that's what job.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's a tough thing because like, if you're good at
what you do, then the expectation is that you're going
to be good and you're gonna do it to worry
about that, which is what we all want to be, right,
We all want to be the person who everybody knows
is good at their job. But it is you can
sometimes be a victim of your own success where you're
good at your job, so they just leave you alone.
They don't, they don't bother with you anymore because in
order for you to reach the higher bar is just
(09:50):
so much more than everybody else.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And then you get an email about the littlest thing
someone else does.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'm like, what, we got to pump that person up,
because you know, do we know? Like how I got
an idea how about if the best people in the
office are constantly the ones who have the best ideas
and make the biggest contribution, why don't you blow them
up even bigger to make the people that don't have
the ideas come up.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
With some ideas. How about that?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Louder?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Hey, Ashley, Hey, how are you hi? Ashley? You'd be
passive aggressive about that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
By the way, the scenario is a coworker took credit
for an idea of yours and got a promotion. Do
you say something? Do you say nothing? How did you
say it right in front of everybody? Do you go
back door?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I would one passive aggressive? So I would for bringing
us to the group of tensions.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
On Tuesday.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Yes, girl, it's very kind of him.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Okay, all right, so you would wait, okay, so we're
in the meeting right now and Rufio takes credit for
your idea, Ashley, and what do you do right then?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And there?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is that?
Speaker 7 (10:56):
What I would say?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Thank you, Rufio. I know we talked about this on
two you talked this.
Speaker 10 (11:01):
Such a great idea, perfecting it to the group.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That's a great way, no problem. I'm going to enjoy
this gift card.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
In the meantime, Rufio's over at you know, Amazon, ordering
a you know whatever that he just got from his
gift card. Thank you, Ashley, have a good day, of
course you do. Yeah, this happened to you, Adrian, what happened?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Man?
Speaker 11 (11:24):
So with that one actually had this happened to me before.
And what I decided to do was kind of the
same thing with Rufio did is I called them out
during the meeting and I told them to explain the
inner workings of the idea and and basically what they
just kept like stumbling their word like kept repeating everything
(11:46):
like very basic and generic ones. So and then I
told them, I'm like, oh, well that's crazy. How do
you get the loop around this and this? And they
had no words and the boss was like, so, wait,
is this your idea or.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Is it not your idea? And I'm pretty good, that's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You call them out on the intricacy of the I like, well,
how do you plan to do that? And then when
they don't know because they just stole top line from you,
then yes, I like that that's a very kind of
backhanded way but yet effective of getting credit.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
Yeah, and I'd also like to say, like, I listened
to you guys all the time, and I want to
start a new thirteen. So I want to be the
fourteenth person who listened. Okay, years and years, I just
never called in. This is my first time.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well we're having to have you, Adrian.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The problem is, as hard as we try, it just
never grows beyond thirteen. Like, for example, Lisa just moved away.
Lisa just moved to Missouri, and she can still listen
to us on the iHeart app. But do you maybe
number thirteen, Adrian, because Lisa, you know, had to relinquid
You don't have to relinquish your number. But it's like
if you're not here at present, it's hard to attend
(12:53):
the meetings. You know that the meetings of the meeting,
the secret meetings of the secret Society of the thirteen
will never have more than thirteen listeners, adriy.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And it's just the way it is. It's just sad.
It's a shame. But we're gonna we're gonna keep trying.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
In my heart, I'm number fourteen.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All right, Well we'll allow it, but it doesn't exist.
Thank you, ag Having a day, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Love you man. Having a good one blogs waiting by
the phone. Next more freadshell.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Next, I'm a guy who likes to get to the
airport early. We've discussed this. I'm an early airport I
mean this seems to be a fundamental difference between people. Yeah,
like even in a relationship, like there are people who
they want to get there early so they're not rushed.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That's me.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Now, the thing is inevitably you get there really early,
you're never rushed.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You walk right through.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You get there late the lines around the building and
it's even more stressful. But my thing is I would
rather not be stressed out, especially if it's a trip
that I'm doing for fun. The last thing I want
to do is like screw up the first day of
my vacation because I'm all messed up because I missed
my flight or because whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But I was looking at this thing.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Did you know that it's said the airline tells you
for domestic flights you're supposed to they want you to
show up two hours early for international three Yes, I
thought it was one and two.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Oh no, no, no no, I thought.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It would show up an hour before departure time and
two for international three hours. Yes, the hell am I
I'm almost sitting the plane for sixteen or whatever to
go to Japan or wherever I'm going, I gotta come
to three hours before that. Yeah, no, an hour hour
fifteen to me. If I arrived at the airport like that,
(14:32):
I'm good. That's an hour before boarding. I'm comfortable with that.
I can make that happen.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
So you're not like annoyingly early. Some people are like crazy, No.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't need to be there three hours early.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
No.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, some people are about two hours.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
If I'm an hour, Oh my gosh, that hour can
go by so fast it's stopped in the security line.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, two hours at the least.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Here's it.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I got a question for you guys. Here's a question,
right if I do you have a TSA pre check?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay, all right, Kicky and I do you have it? Kaylin, Kiki,
Cale and I are in a throuple. We're all the
three of us are dating for us, I mean, Cale
and I have already been dating for years now, apparently,
I mean we're actually married.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But oh that was at five o'clock. Ye, Blue, I
completely blew it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Third, Yeah, I am TSA pre check. I got all
that stuff. If you and I, I mean, this is
a I know the answer already. But if you and
I are dating and we go to the airport and
I've got tsa pre check and you don't, and the
line is super crazy long for the regular and I
(15:41):
can walk right through PreCheck and go and enjoy myself
and have a nice cocktail and wait for you because
you were too lazy to go get tsa pre check?
Am I allowed to do that?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So I got to wait in the long ass line
with you because you were too lazy to make an appointment.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Go get tsa pre check.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yes, we're in this together. That is so rude. You
will lead your girl. I'm there each.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Other on the planet. This man enjoy his time.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I'm asking a rhetorical question. I did not give a response. Okay,
I did not give a response, So.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Rufio, you're clearly leaving. I'm not leaving.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I'm just gonna be on the other side, waiting, waits
for dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
About that. No, I'm not gonna wait. I'm not gonna
say I'll wait off the other side. I won't wait
in the line with you. I'm gonna just sit there
and wait till you get close to the front. Then
I'll go to the SA PreTect.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
What's the point of that if you guys are going
to the same gate, same flight, well, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
The wh're racing her there.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I guess the point is to wait for me. For me,
it would be waiting in line. Well for him, it's winning.
For me, it's just I don't like waiting in line.
It's a waste of time, like and and I don't
know it, just the whole thing irritates me. People don't
move fast enough. It's like, why is the line so long?
Same with traffic, like ninety nine percent of the time,
there's no reason for traffic.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It's just it's just you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Ever, how often do you drive down the road and
you're in a jam, and then you get to some
certain point and it just starts moving. It wasn't an accident,
it wasn't anything. It's just I don't know. People lookilu,
or they're just being an idiot, or they don't know
how to they don't know how to transition into another
lane or whatever. So I I would not ditch the
person I'm with. I think I'd force them to go
(17:18):
get tsa pre check. I think that's a pre recue
late when they're in the line of right here, No,
I think I would ask that question. I'm like, we're
going on vacation, okay, good, you need to get yourself
you need to get yourself clear or something.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Last three times I flew the lines were the same way,
and I was like, I'm not paying for this crap.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's the same yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, And that's the other thing too, is that everyone's
kind of figured it out for a long time tsaprecheck,
Global Entry whatever, nobody really had it. It was like,
I don't know why, but years ago and it was
on my credit card or whatever. So I just went
and got it and it was a huge time saver.
Now I feel like a lot of people have I
almost feel like they need to flip the lines around,
(17:57):
you know what I mean, Like they need to make
they need to I don't know. It's almost like the
one that is the regular one is better.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Right, you know.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's so much At the Detroit Airport, there's a security
checkpoint in the hotel there, and a lot of people
don't know that. So I just pretend that I'm staying
at the hotel and go right on.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
The business NA a way. But if you're listening and
you're from there, No, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
No, it doesn't exist.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
She just made that use.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I just made that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Was like Fred needs a new new line. He says, like,
there's too many people in TSA pre check, right, I
need to PreCheck. Yes, it's called clear. I pay for
that too. Oh okay, yeah that's even more. Yeah, yeah,
you are out here.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I don't know. I don't like waiting in line. I don't.
I just don't. I think it's a waste of time.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
But you would stand there with me in that line.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
I would now the whole time we're in the line,
you would be saying like you should have got breed to.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Be bitching at you.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Okay, wow.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Task interviewed. What are you hiding from? Hey, Lydia, good morning.
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm good.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
How are you going?
Speaker 10 (18:51):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Thanks for calling?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, I uh.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The nice thing about that, I will say, the pre
check thing not taking your shoes off, not pulling stuff
out of your bag, except that isn't Yeah, that is
nice because the line with the people taking their shoes
off and stuff, then apparently the right place to put
your belt and shoes back on is right where everybody
else needs to be too. Like me. I'll like, if
I have to go through the regular security line for
some reason, like the other day I did.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
It was closer to the gate, and I got belt
and shoes and I don't wear a belt.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I got shoes, I got all my stuff, phoned me.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'm half naked, my pants falling off, running out of
everybody's way to then redress and like repack. No, and
a lot of people they're just like, this is the
perfect place for me to just get my life together.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They don't put their things away, they don't put the.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Basket away, basket lies back up.
Speaker 10 (19:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, anyway, we're gonna say, actually I've been there.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
Yeah no.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
So here's my thing. You guys have talked about the
is isshue before, and I've seen that a lot on
social media, and what I've seen is that more often
than not, it's the man who has TSA PRE and
the woman who doesn't, and then then the guy either
has to be awesome and wait with the woman, or
(20:04):
if he goes through, he's a jerk. I have TSA
PRE and I love it, and my kids have TSA
pre because they've gotten stuck and they've watched me sail through.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You could tell she's a pro because it's tsa pre.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Tsa paying like when you know you do you know
when you're part of the club.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Lenny and I we know we know the language. Okay,
we know the lingo, and so the rest of you
don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'll sit down.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
So I'm listening to you guys. I'm listening to you
all talking about it again this morning. And Fred, what
I want you to do now is to turn to
Kiki and Kaylin and say, Kiki and Kaylen, if you
were the ones who had it and I did not,
would you wait with me? Or would you sail through
and go have a cocktail on the other klan?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Would Kiki would not?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
You know?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
He's answered what you know? Key's answers. He ain't waiting for.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You know, Oh baby, I'm walking straight there.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
She would hold my hand. I can't like.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
She's bitching about me with leaving her be in the
bar seven sand. By the time I get he's like,
who pay for this? Who pay for the plane ticket?
Oh yeah, she's done fine, tiktoks I get in there.
Oh yeah, she answering questions about you know, her beauty routine.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
I'm still getting to know and I love you. You're
the most amazing addition to a family.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
So that is that's a nice defining thing. But yeah,
this is this is hilarious. Thank you and keep all
your great work.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I love you, Thank you, Lydia. I have a good day,
have a good joy the priest.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, you know what there is for some of our
listeners that there's a big announcement five o'clock on Monday,
and we're a lot of these guests have to do
with like apparently I'm going to be a dad. I'm
getting married to Caitlin, I'm getting married. In general, I'm
getting a lot. I guess congratulations, you're pregnant. It's immaculate.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
No, he's marrying you, but he got another baby, mama.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Well that's what. Yeah, that's it's a real sham maculate.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But anyway, but this is all about us here and
I and then it's gonna someone else is going to
get credit for it. Here we go talking about what
we were talking about last night.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You're here.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I you know, all these stories of these are narratives
that we cannot confirm nor deny, and then everyone else
is gonna.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Get credit for it.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
See how that happens?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I do.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Hey, Kathy, I didn't mean for this to become a thing.
But the question is, I'm going to the airport today,
I'm alone, but I happen to have TSA PreCheck. I've
seen it even on dating apps, by the way, like
People's Profile. It's a deal breaker. Like if you don't
have Global entry slash TSA PreCheck, I ain't dating you
because I am not waiting in the regular line because
it's too long. What do you think would you make
(22:46):
somebody wait if you had it and they didn't.
Speaker 10 (22:50):
No.
Speaker 13 (22:50):
So my husband has had it way before we even
started dating because of his job. We have a rule
if we travel together and he goes through tfpcre check,
he better have a flutch spot at a borrow or
restaurant and be ready with a cocktail and food for me.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah that's fair, That is fair.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
If I'm going ahead, then if I'm going to make
you wait, then I'm going to make sure you're hooked
up with whatever it is I have to go.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I'm such a hurry to do, which is.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
Drag And if it's a long line. We're already annoyed
with each other, so I'm fine that he goes ahead
of me.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
See that's another thing, too, is the line just puts
me in a bad mood and it's no one's fault.
So if there's no line, I'm taking that option. Kathy,
that's a that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Thank you. Have a great day, guy, What is.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
You go go to go?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Where did this one go? Someone's I gotta find it here?
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Give me a seventy four dollars water at Hudson News.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh yeah, I'll make sure you're hooked up hydrated. Thank you?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Something about it? I can't find it now. But oh
my husband left me at the ticket counter and flew
to Germany. We were shapberning a trip for high school
students and I had to stay back to get a
passport issue figured out. Well, now that makes sense to me, honestly,
because that that ain't gonna get resolved short term.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So if somebody needed to be that.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
No, like in this case, Chap running a high school trip,
someone's got to go right. Like, if your passport is
messed up, that's not going to get fixed in an hour.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You probably ain't going at that point.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Did you guys see that couple online?
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I don't know if we talked about it where the
husband left the wife because she wanted to get Starbucks
and he said they didn't have enough time, so he
got on the plane and flew to their trip and
left her at the airport, and and people were siding
with him, a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I hate to say this, but like, why am I
going to sit in the airport all day because you
got to have a pumpkin spice ltte?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It was an interesting It was an interesting discussion.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I mean, I know it makes me sound insensitive, but like,
there does come a point where it's like, this is ridiculous.
We're gonna miss our flight so you can get It's
gonna be a Starbucks when you land.
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Yeah, but you're gonna get it when you land to
it because she ain't there sounds like it sounds like
I'm single and on vacation.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Hey Jessica, Hi Jessica, And I didn't mean for this
to be a thing, but what do you think?
Speaker 10 (25:01):
Okay, So I wanted to call it in because I
changed my name last year when I got married.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
So I go to the airport.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Later on and I've got my new name on my
boarding path. I go to TSA prechext but now I
can't get through because they had my.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Old last name.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
But I told my husband it's okay, it doesn't have
to wait for me, so he still goes through. I
have to leave because I got his last name, and
I got to go through the regular line until four
months later I finally get it back.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Well, okay, you're very you're a very accommodating wife. Yes,
you're a good woman, Jessica. Have a good day, good woman,
you little lady, have a good day. Stop waiting by
the phone right now. The Entertainment Report show vis Shelley

Learn so much you guys. I got a food one
for you.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I've bestowed so many facts on the people now for
so long that I can't remember if I've done this
one or not. But just let's pretend like I'll tell
you if you don't worry, if you I won't be sure
to tell me. But this still to me is crazy.
If I have supermarket apples can be a year old? Yes,
(26:29):
all right, fine, what else you got for me? Fine,
I got another one. I was still blown away by that.
I continue to be blown away by that. Let me
see here we did the one about secretions from a
beaver's noose.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Did you know that.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Fish intestines are found in food foods like candy, cheese,
ice cream? Yeah, beaver's butt, bugs, hair, and fish intestines
are just some of the bones chilling fixings that give
foods like candy, cheese, and ice cream. There's prumptuous flavors.
Cheese if you're in one contains some arsenic Did you
(27:07):
know that? Oh you didn't know that?
Speaker 14 (27:10):
The cheese boom me away? Protect the cheese anyway. The
old ass apple scares me. But more Fred Show. Next

Speaker 2 (27:25):

Why did somebody get ghosted? We'll get to that next.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
The entertainment report is coming up, and of course catch
up with anything you may missed on the show anytime.
The iHeart app is where to go. Search it for
the frend Show on demand. Waiting after Steven Sanchez back
in two minutes. Good morning, thanks for waking up with us.
You guys have been asking for it, morality Monday. For
some reason, we didn't do it on Monday, So morality Thursday.
It is finally I have it here, we have time.
You ready, you guys ready for this?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I can? I bet I can ready for four days.
It's also a.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Tease, you know, he got a two date every morning.
See if I'm going to do the thing that was
supposed to be on Monday. I don't know what is
it with the alliteration. Why does it have to rhyme?
But it doesn't have to rhyme. It was my phone,
all right, I already can. I bet I can guess
how some people would.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
I bet.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
There's no way for me to say, but I in
my mind, I already can guess what everybody is going
to do based on having read this scenario and knowing
you guys so well. But here it is morality Monday
eight five five five three five. You can call or
a textas same number. I want to know what you
would do in your weekly team meeting with your supervisor.
One of your coworkers takes credit for a time and
(00:51):
money saving change in operating procedures that you devised your
supervisor erroneously thinks that your coworker came up with the chain,
and your co worker doesn't correct the misinterpretation, but allows
the boss to not only commend him, but offer him
a bonus. Do you go to your co worker and
demand that he or she correct the situation. Do you
(01:14):
go to your supervisor and explain that you should receive
the accommodation or reward, or do you say nothing because
you don't believe in ownership of ideas and you're a
team player. Go ahead, Kevin, tell us how to tell
us how you'd go to the boss and tell them
it was your idea.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'm saying something right then and there during the presentation.
I'm not gonna go talk to the boss and one
and one, I'm gonna confront that person right then and there.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
It's your idea. Someone takes it right in front of you.
The boss says a great idea, and then here's more money.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
No, thank you, up, stop the meeting.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
That was my idea, and I'm gonna call it. I'm
gonna call the co worker in front everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, okay. I would have bet that that was what
you would say, Caitlin. I bet i'd know what you would.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Do, do you.
Speaker 6 (02:01):
I'm curious it has happened to me, and I didn't
say anything. I just got really really mad inside my
head and stormed around my apartment just thinking of things
that I could have said, and then did nothing.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But the good news in your case was other people
then rectified it kind of.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I wasn't talking about that.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I was.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I was thinking of one where someone jacked an idea
from you and then the rest of us, individually at
different times, made sure that everybody knew that it was
your idea.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
You guys are straight for that that I was okay
with because it was just doing good in the universe,
So that one I let go.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
But you guys were great to like, what.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Did I get a bonus for it was your idea?
To tell me, no, nothing you did.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
No, No, I.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Think any bonus like it is your idea, So it's.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
I don't haven't gotten one in a while. But if
I did, you.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Know, No, that was nice speak that one. I didn't care.
Speaker 8 (02:50):
I've also had this happen to me several times. It
really makes me upset. I'm not gonna lie, it really
makes me upset. But I never say a word and
It's even worse when I've had I've had a boss
do it to me, yes, and we're in a meeting
and I'm literally watching my boss word for word, rattle
off my idea and like take full credit. And I'm
(03:12):
just sitting there like are we serious right now?
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But I don't.
Speaker 8 (03:16):
I never say a word because I always feel like
it's all going to play out how it's supposed to
play out, and I'm going to get my just due eventually,
So like I'll let you lie and scheme and play
these games and then I'll hire you one day.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
You know. That's how I think about it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Like I literally I'll bitch to you guys and hear
about it, but I won't do much about it.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I'll just let it happen because it happens a lot.
It does.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
It does, and it's such it's such big weirdo energy,
like such, are you that comfortable pretending that if you
came up with an idea? Or you're that comfortable pretending
that you did something you know you didn't.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
I try to figure it out, Like the psychology, I'm like,
either you believe your own lives, really are convincing yourself
or the audacity Yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Weird you'd like to think that the person who you'd
like to think it was because I believe strongly in karma.
I really do, and I don't always do the right thing,
but I guess, I guess for me, and this is
a different conversation, but with karma, like when I do
the wrong thing, then I try and go do a
right thing to hopefully negate the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't know if that works.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Like, for example, I try and fly as many rescue
animals to new homes as I can, because my god,
if one rescue dog saved equates one really stupid thing
that I've done, I mean, I'm gonna need to fly
about eight thousand dogs. I'm gonna need to get a
cargo plane full of animals. But nonetheless, I don't know.
I just I think like if I can offset every
bad thing with a couple of good things, and I'm equal.
But I don't know where I was going with. But no,
(04:39):
I'm not I'm not gonna stand up. I'm gonna I'm
just gonna I'm gonna let it play out as it
goes rather than make a scene right there, I'm just
gonna let it happen.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Ran I know.
Speaker 9 (04:51):
Okay, so the old me yes relates a lot to
the ladies here as far as like just say nothing,
walk around whatever. But it's been a long, sick seven
years in my current place of employment and my current
place of living of just being.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
So my new thing is that I'm dead serious is.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
I don't call people out or whatever, like kind of
do what Rufio says.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I'm more sneaky about it, so like.
Speaker 9 (05:15):
Not so much so like if let's just say this
happens right now, and like I'm making this up like
you were like, okay, the idea was so beautiful and
great or whatever, like I would jump in then and
there I'm using my voice now.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
It's the thing, you know, I'm trying to do is
use my voice. And I'll be like, yeah, we collaborated
on that.
Speaker 9 (05:30):
And we did this, this and this and this was
you know, something that I thought of and I thought
you'd really like it. Like I will just talk now,
just to talk because at this point, like you know
what I mean, if you don't open your mouth, closed
mouths don't get fed, guys, and they just don't get fed.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Yeah, I'm tired of waiting another six years.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
No Yeah, don't you think it makes you look kind
of weird?
Speaker 9 (05:47):
It does, it doesn't, but then you're the weirdo who's
ready a lot of weirdos.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
And the problem is, like, here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
When it comes to stuff like that, you're counting on
the person who stole from you or lied about you
or or you're counting on them to have self awareness,
and you're counting on them like if you don't say anything,
like in my mind, I wouldn't say anything. And then
in my mind, I'm hoping that they go home or
drive home from work and they realize in their mind
they're tortured by the fact that they got rewarded for
something they didn't come up with. The problem is, most
(06:15):
of the time with people like that, they don't think
like that. That's why they stole from you. Yeah, so
they're not really thinking and that just makes me even
more mad. You just stole from me and you're not
and I know you don't feel bad about it.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Yeah, you're putting like your own moral compass on someone
else and they probably have a different.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Because that's my thing, Like when I screw up, I
know I screwed up, and no one's going to be
harder on me than me so at least if I'm
going to do something crappy and not own it, I'm
going to beat myself up worse than anybody could beat
me up. And usually anyone who knows if I did
something to you, then you should know that's what's happening.
I'm going to torture myself worse than anybody else can
torture me. But most people that steal or do things
(06:52):
like that, I don't care. They don't think like that.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
They're living peacefully and your your piece is disrupted, you know,
if I storm around in a.
Speaker 9 (06:59):
Circle in my mind to Arthur fits that time advocate
of that too, like Caylen said, like or and you
mentioned too, Fred, Like if I know something of someone
else's idea, I will give credit. Then in there I'll
be like, oh, yeah, you know, this happens all the
time in our industry. People think something's one person's idea
and that's not their fault, like they.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Just assumed or whatever.
Speaker 9 (07:16):
And I love when somebody corrects them and says, oh,
this was actually Bob's idea or Jan's idea.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Yeah, And I can do it for other people, just
not for myself, we gotta work.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
On that, ladies. Let's go get information.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
Girls.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, a lot of people are saying they would say something,
and I can understand why. I agree with what you're saying,
Paulina that you know you can't get walked on. But
I guess I would have to really evaluate if I'm
gonna call somebody out in the room, like what what's
really in it for me?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Like because someone pointed out is it a twenty dollars
gift card or a thousand dollars cash bonus? You know,
It's like I guess I would have to think in
my mind, like is making a scene right now? Even
if I'm right, does that somehow make me look like
less of a team player? Because that's it could be
flipped too. It could be like Fred, but why did
you have to take that? You didn't have to take
that one. Let that person have it, you know what
I mean, That's what I would think in my head.
(08:05):
But if it were like you get a promotion or
you don't, and it was my idea, we're gonna I mean,
I'm not gonna not take the promotion because I'm not
willing to stand up for myself but at the same time,
if it's like it's silly idea and oh okay, here's
a metal in a free sandwich, I'm okay if you
can have it.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Sometimes it's not.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
About the reward, and I just want the recognition, you
know what I'm saying, Like just to be recognized for
having a good idea or like, hey, you came up
with that idea? Is the recognition is worth all of it,
you know, Like I don't give I it's a twenty
dollars gift card or one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I just want the recognition.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
I want to be recognized for something I said, and
it's a great idea.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
But I will say, in some places of business, I'm
trying to think how to say this artfully, not necessarily
this one, but management will go out of their way
to elevate tasks by some people and not others. And
I think it's because they just expect certain people to
have the those ideas and have it, or it's like, well,
(09:02):
that person makes more money, or that person has a
higher profile, or that person has a better life, so
we don't need to recognize them. These people here, we
need to recognize them because you know, we don't. We
don't think as much about what you know what I mean,
And I don't think that's fair either.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
You get punished for being good at your job and
being consistent.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
I always think that's true.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
I will die on If you're someone that's reliable and
always does what you say you're going to do, then
you get overlooked because that's what's that's what job.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's a tough thing because like, if you're good at
what you do, then the expectation is that you're going
to be good and you're gonna do it to worry
about that, which is what we all want to be, right,
We all want to be the person who everybody knows
is good at their job. But it is you can
sometimes be a victim of your own success where you're
good at your job, so they just leave you alone.
They don't, they don't bother with you anymore because in
order for you to reach the higher bar is just
(09:50):
so much more than everybody else.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
And then you get an email about the littlest thing
someone else does.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I'm like, what, we got to pump that person up,
because you know, do we know? Like how I got
an idea how about if the best people in the
office are constantly the ones who have the best ideas
and make the biggest contribution, why don't you blow them
up even bigger to make the people that don't have
the ideas come up.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
With some ideas. How about that?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Louder?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Hey, Ashley, Hey, how are you hi? Ashley? You'd be
passive aggressive about that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
By the way, the scenario is a coworker took credit
for an idea of yours and got a promotion. Do
you say something? Do you say nothing? How did you
say it right in front of everybody? Do you go
back door?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
What do you do?
Speaker 7 (10:34):
I would one passive aggressive? So I would for bringing
us to the group of tensions.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
On Tuesday.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
Yes, girl, it's very kind of him.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Okay, all right, so you would wait, okay, so we're
in the meeting right now and Rufio takes credit for
your idea, Ashley, and what do you do right then?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
And there?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Is that?
Speaker 7 (10:56):
What I would say?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Thank you, Rufio. I know we talked about this on
two you talked this.
Speaker 10 (11:01):
Such a great idea, perfecting it to the group.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
That's a great way, no problem. I'm going to enjoy
this gift card.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
In the meantime, Rufio's over at you know, Amazon, ordering
a you know whatever that he just got from his
gift card. Thank you, Ashley, have a good day, of
course you do. Yeah, this happened to you, Adrian, what happened?
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Man?
Speaker 11 (11:24):
So with that one actually had this happened to me before.
And what I decided to do was kind of the
same thing with Rufio did is I called them out
during the meeting and I told them to explain the
inner workings of the idea and and basically what they
just kept like stumbling their word like kept repeating everything
(11:46):
like very basic and generic ones. So and then I
told them, I'm like, oh, well that's crazy. How do
you get the loop around this and this? And they
had no words and the boss was like, so, wait,
is this your idea or.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Is it not your idea? And I'm pretty good, that's
pretty good.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You call them out on the intricacy of the I like, well,
how do you plan to do that? And then when
they don't know because they just stole top line from you,
then yes, I like that that's a very kind of
backhanded way but yet effective of getting credit.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
Yeah, and I'd also like to say, like, I listened
to you guys all the time, and I want to
start a new thirteen. So I want to be the
fourteenth person who listened. Okay, years and years, I just
never called in. This is my first time.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Well we're having to have you, Adrian.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
The problem is, as hard as we try, it just
never grows beyond thirteen. Like, for example, Lisa just moved away.
Lisa just moved to Missouri, and she can still listen
to us on the iHeart app. But do you maybe
number thirteen, Adrian, because Lisa, you know, had to relinquid
You don't have to relinquish your number. But it's like
if you're not here at present, it's hard to attend
(12:53):
the meetings. You know that the meetings of the meeting,
the secret meetings of the secret Society of the thirteen
will never have more than thirteen listeners, adriy.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And it's just the way it is. It's just sad.
It's a shame. But we're gonna we're gonna keep trying.
Speaker 11 (13:05):
In my heart, I'm number fourteen.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All right, Well we'll allow it, but it doesn't exist.
Thank you, ag Having a day, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Love you man. Having a good one blogs waiting by
the phone. Next more freadshell.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Next, I'm a guy who likes to get to the
airport early. We've discussed this. I'm an early airport I
mean this seems to be a fundamental difference between people. Yeah,
like even in a relationship, like there are people who
they want to get there early so they're not rushed.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
That's me.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Now, the thing is inevitably you get there really early,
you're never rushed.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You walk right through.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
You get there late the lines around the building and
it's even more stressful. But my thing is I would
rather not be stressed out, especially if it's a trip
that I'm doing for fun. The last thing I want
to do is like screw up the first day of
my vacation because I'm all messed up because I missed
my flight or because whatever.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
But I was looking at this thing.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Did you know that it's said the airline tells you
for domestic flights you're supposed to they want you to
show up two hours early for international three Yes, I
thought it was one and two.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Oh no, no, no no, I thought.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
It would show up an hour before departure time and
two for international three hours. Yes, the hell am I
I'm almost sitting the plane for sixteen or whatever to
go to Japan or wherever I'm going, I gotta come
to three hours before that. Yeah, no, an hour hour
fifteen to me. If I arrived at the airport like that,
(14:32):
I'm good. That's an hour before boarding. I'm comfortable with that.
I can make that happen.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
So you're not like annoyingly early. Some people are like crazy, No.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I don't need to be there three hours early.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
No.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
Yeah, some people are about two hours.
Speaker 8 (14:44):
If I'm an hour, Oh my gosh, that hour can
go by so fast it's stopped in the security line.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, two hours at the least.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Here's it.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I got a question for you guys. Here's a question,
right if I do you have a TSA pre check?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Okay, all right, Kicky and I do you have it? Kaylin, Kiki,
Cale and I are in a throuple. We're all the
three of us are dating for us, I mean, Cale
and I have already been dating for years now, apparently,
I mean we're actually married.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
But oh that was at five o'clock. Ye, Blue, I
completely blew it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Third, Yeah, I am TSA pre check. I got all
that stuff. If you and I, I mean, this is
a I know the answer already. But if you and
I are dating and we go to the airport and
I've got tsa pre check and you don't, and the
line is super crazy long for the regular and I
(15:41):
can walk right through PreCheck and go and enjoy myself
and have a nice cocktail and wait for you because
you were too lazy to go get tsa pre check?
Am I allowed to do that?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
So I got to wait in the long ass line
with you because you were too lazy to make an appointment.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Go get tsa pre check.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Yes, we're in this together. That is so rude. You
will lead your girl. I'm there each.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Other on the planet. This man enjoy his time.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I'm asking a rhetorical question. I did not give a response. Okay,
I did not give a response, So.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
Rufio, you're clearly leaving. I'm not leaving.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I'm just gonna be on the other side, waiting, waits
for dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
About that. No, I'm not gonna wait. I'm not gonna
say I'll wait off the other side. I won't wait
in the line with you. I'm gonna just sit there
and wait till you get close to the front. Then
I'll go to the SA PreTect.
Speaker 9 (16:29):
What's the point of that if you guys are going
to the same gate, same flight, well, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
The wh're racing her there.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
I guess the point is to wait for me. For me,
it would be waiting in line. Well for him, it's winning.
For me, it's just I don't like waiting in line.
It's a waste of time, like and and I don't
know it, just the whole thing irritates me. People don't
move fast enough. It's like, why is the line so long?
Same with traffic, like ninety nine percent of the time,
there's no reason for traffic.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
It's just it's just you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Ever, how often do you drive down the road and
you're in a jam, and then you get to some
certain point and it just starts moving. It wasn't an accident,
it wasn't anything. It's just I don't know. People lookilu,
or they're just being an idiot, or they don't know
how to they don't know how to transition into another
lane or whatever. So I I would not ditch the
person I'm with. I think I'd force them to go
(17:18):
get tsa pre check. I think that's a pre recue
late when they're in the line of right here, No,
I think I would ask that question. I'm like, we're
going on vacation, okay, good, you need to get yourself
you need to get yourself clear or something.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
Last three times I flew the lines were the same way,
and I was like, I'm not paying for this crap.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's the same yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, And that's the other thing too, is that everyone's
kind of figured it out for a long time tsaprecheck,
Global Entry whatever, nobody really had it. It was like,
I don't know why, but years ago and it was
on my credit card or whatever. So I just went
and got it and it was a huge time saver.
Now I feel like a lot of people have I
almost feel like they need to flip the lines around,
(17:57):
you know what I mean, Like they need to make
they need to I don't know. It's almost like the
one that is the regular one is better.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Right, you know.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's so much At the Detroit Airport, there's a security
checkpoint in the hotel there, and a lot of people
don't know that. So I just pretend that I'm staying
at the hotel and go right on.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
The business NA a way. But if you're listening and
you're from there, No, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
No, it doesn't exist.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
She just made that use.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I just made that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Was like Fred needs a new new line. He says, like,
there's too many people in TSA pre check, right, I
need to PreCheck. Yes, it's called clear. I pay for
that too. Oh okay, yeah that's even more. Yeah, yeah,
you are out here.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I don't know. I don't like waiting in line. I don't.
I just don't. I think it's a waste of time.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
But you would stand there with me in that line.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
I would now the whole time we're in the line,
you would be saying like you should have got breed to.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Be bitching at you.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Okay, wow.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Task interviewed. What are you hiding from? Hey, Lydia, good morning.
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (18:50):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I'm good.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
How are you going?
Speaker 10 (18:51):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Thanks for calling?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
No, I uh.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
The nice thing about that, I will say, the pre
check thing not taking your shoes off, not pulling stuff
out of your bag, except that isn't Yeah, that is
nice because the line with the people taking their shoes
off and stuff, then apparently the right place to put
your belt and shoes back on is right where everybody
else needs to be too. Like me. I'll like, if
I have to go through the regular security line for
some reason, like the other day I did.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
It was closer to the gate, and I got belt
and shoes and I don't wear a belt.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I got shoes, I got all my stuff, phoned me.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'm half naked, my pants falling off, running out of
everybody's way to then redress and like repack. No, and
a lot of people they're just like, this is the
perfect place for me to just get my life together.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
They don't put their things away, they don't put the.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Basket away, basket lies back up.
Speaker 10 (19:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, anyway, we're gonna say, actually I've been there.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
Yeah no.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
So here's my thing. You guys have talked about the
is isshue before, and I've seen that a lot on
social media, and what I've seen is that more often
than not, it's the man who has TSA PRE and
the woman who doesn't, and then then the guy either
has to be awesome and wait with the woman, or
(20:04):
if he goes through, he's a jerk. I have TSA
PRE and I love it, and my kids have TSA
pre because they've gotten stuck and they've watched me sail through.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
You could tell she's a pro because it's tsa pre.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Tsa paying like when you know you do you know
when you're part of the club.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Lenny and I we know we know the language. Okay,
we know the lingo, and so the rest of you
don't know what it is.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
I'll sit down.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
So I'm listening to you guys. I'm listening to you
all talking about it again this morning. And Fred, what
I want you to do now is to turn to
Kiki and Kaylin and say, Kiki and Kaylen, if you
were the ones who had it and I did not,
would you wait with me? Or would you sail through
and go have a cocktail on the other klan?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Would Kiki would not?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
You know?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
He's answered what you know? Key's answers. He ain't waiting for.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
You know, Oh baby, I'm walking straight there.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
She would hold my hand. I can't like.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
She's bitching about me with leaving her be in the
bar seven sand. By the time I get he's like,
who pay for this? Who pay for the plane ticket?
Oh yeah, she's done fine, tiktoks I get in there.
Oh yeah, she answering questions about you know, her beauty routine.
Speaker 7 (21:23):
I'm still getting to know and I love you. You're
the most amazing addition to a family.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (21:30):
So that is that's a nice defining thing. But yeah,
this is this is hilarious. Thank you and keep all
your great work.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I love you, Thank you, Lydia. I have a good day,
have a good joy the priest.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, you know what there is for some of our
listeners that there's a big announcement five o'clock on Monday,
and we're a lot of these guests have to do
with like apparently I'm going to be a dad. I'm
getting married to Caitlin, I'm getting married. In general, I'm
getting a lot. I guess congratulations, you're pregnant. It's immaculate.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
No, he's marrying you, but he got another baby, mama.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Well that's what. Yeah, that's it's a real sham maculate.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
But anyway, but this is all about us here and
I and then it's gonna someone else is going to
get credit for it. Here we go talking about what
we were talking about last night.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
You're here.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I you know, all these stories of these are narratives
that we cannot confirm nor deny, and then everyone else
is gonna.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Get credit for it.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
See how that happens?
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I do.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Hey, Kathy, I didn't mean for this to become a thing.
But the question is, I'm going to the airport today,
I'm alone, but I happen to have TSA PreCheck. I've
seen it even on dating apps, by the way, like
People's Profile. It's a deal breaker. Like if you don't
have Global entry slash TSA PreCheck, I ain't dating you
because I am not waiting in the regular line because
it's too long. What do you think would you make
(22:46):
somebody wait if you had it and they didn't.
Speaker 10 (22:50):
No.
Speaker 13 (22:50):
So my husband has had it way before we even
started dating because of his job. We have a rule
if we travel together and he goes through tfpcre check,
he better have a flutch spot at a borrow or
restaurant and be ready with a cocktail and food for me.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah that's fair, That is fair.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
If I'm going ahead, then if I'm going to make
you wait, then I'm going to make sure you're hooked
up with whatever it is I have to go.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I'm such a hurry to do, which is.
Speaker 13 (23:14):
Drag And if it's a long line. We're already annoyed
with each other, so I'm fine that he goes ahead
of me.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
See that's another thing, too, is the line just puts
me in a bad mood and it's no one's fault.
So if there's no line, I'm taking that option. Kathy,
that's a that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Thank you. Have a great day, guy, What is.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
You go go to go?
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Where did this one go? Someone's I gotta find it here?
Speaker 5 (23:39):
Give me a seventy four dollars water at Hudson News.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Oh yeah, I'll make sure you're hooked up hydrated. Thank you?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Something about it? I can't find it now. But oh
my husband left me at the ticket counter and flew
to Germany. We were shapberning a trip for high school
students and I had to stay back to get a
passport issue figured out. Well, now that makes sense to me, honestly,
because that that ain't gonna get resolved short term.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So if somebody needed to be that.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
No, like in this case, Chap running a high school trip,
someone's got to go right. Like, if your passport is
messed up, that's not going to get fixed in an hour.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
You probably ain't going at that point.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
Did you guys see that couple online?
Speaker 6 (24:11):
I don't know if we talked about it where the
husband left the wife because she wanted to get Starbucks
and he said they didn't have enough time, so he
got on the plane and flew to their trip and
left her at the airport, and and people were siding
with him, a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
I hate to say this, but like, why am I
going to sit in the airport all day because you
got to have a pumpkin spice ltte?
Speaker 5 (24:29):
It was an interesting It was an interesting discussion.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
I mean, I know it makes me sound insensitive, but like,
there does come a point where it's like, this is ridiculous.
We're gonna miss our flight so you can get It's
gonna be a Starbucks when you land.
Speaker 12 (24:42):
Yeah, but you're gonna get it when you land to
it because she ain't there sounds like it sounds like
I'm single and on vacation.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Hey Jessica, Hi Jessica, And I didn't mean for this
to be a thing, but what do you think?
Speaker 10 (25:01):
Okay, So I wanted to call it in because I
changed my name last year when I got married.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
So I go to the airport.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Later on and I've got my new name on my
boarding path. I go to TSA prechext but now I
can't get through because they had my.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Old last name.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
But I told my husband it's okay, it doesn't have
to wait for me, so he still goes through. I
have to leave because I got his last name, and
I got to go through the regular line until four
months later I finally get it back.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Well, okay, you're very you're a very accommodating wife. Yes,
you're a good woman, Jessica. Have a good day, good woman,

so long that I can't remember if I've done this
one or not. But just let's pretend like I'll tell
you if you don't worry, if you I won't be sure
to tell me. But this still to me is crazy.
If I have supermarket apples can be a year old? Yes,

I got another one. I was still blown away by that.
I continue to be blown away by that. Let me
see here we did the one about secretions from a
beaver's noose.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Did you know that.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Fish intestines are found in food foods like candy, cheese,
ice cream? Yeah, beaver's butt, bugs, hair, and fish intestines
are just some of the bones chilling fixings that give
foods like candy, cheese, and ice cream. There's prumptuous flavors.
Cheese if you're in one contains some arsenic Did you
(27:07):
know that? Oh you didn't know that?
Speaker 14 (27:10):
The cheese boom me away? Protect the cheese anyway. The
old ass apple scares me. But more Fred Show. Next
