ready for that. I wasn't ready for that. I pushed
wrong button. You know why I pushed wrong Because I
was texting someone, That's why. But I had a momentary
freak out. I was texting someone. I thought I had

(00:54):
texted the wrong person, the wrong TI. Let's start over again.
I'm sorry here, No, we'll start over again. No, because no,
I had that momentary freak out where someone texted me
and I was talking to a little bit of ish,
and then I thought maybe I'd send to the wrong person.
So I'm sorry, I freaked out, and we'll start over.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
We start over that text.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
We're starting over balling, starting over wake And you know,
there are a lot of hot freads. I don't know
if there are.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Was kind of fine, Oh yeah he was. I like
a man and go to work. Yeah, he beat up
to his feet on the ground he gets there.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
You know that's on Fred's show. Is I ever done that? Though?

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Have you ever actually have you sent the wrong text
to the wrong person? Because you I mean, I wasn't.
It wasn't like a terrible text, but I was talking
about someone and then.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
But sometimes you could.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Go to type in the person who you're talking about, yea,
as the recipient instead of the you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Yeah, yeah, the person in this room that you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Yeah, I was texting Pauline about you. Yeah, I was.
I do it all day.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I said my commentary about all the things that you
say as you're saying them to other people in the room.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Okay, Yeah, I was talking about you.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Better put your eyes on the wheel or on the road.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, I probably should, but it's Friday and I don't
really care. So I mean, the funny thing is I
care deeply like you do.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Like? How do you find yourself in this position where
I cared deeply deeply and yet I don't care at all?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
How does that happen?

Speaker 3 (02:30):
It's my life story too? A memoir, is it?

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I care deeply, but not at all? A memoir by
Paulina Helena Rowe. So no, has it happened to you?
Have you actually completed though the text message to the
wrong person and then you have to figure out a
way assuming it wasn't that bad to like reverse course, Like,
ah see, that.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Was funny when I called you a moron.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
I'm sure I have. I'm sure of it.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
I don't know a specific time, but like you know,
these things happen.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
I know a guy who almost ended his career that
way because he was doing that very thing. He was
texting someone else about an executive that had actually sort
of been a jerk. I mean, he kind of was
a jerk about something that he did, and so he
was texting it and this is back in the BlackBerry
day that days, and so he texted and as soon

(03:19):
as he realized what he had done, he ripped the
battery out of his BlackBerry and threw it across the
hotel room. Oh but it landed though, and the guy
saw it and figured it out, and then he had
a chance to own it because the guy wrote him
back and said, did you mean to send that to me?
And he tried to say like he tried to spin
it like ahha nah, just playing with you. And then

(03:41):
that's what really set the guy off. The guy was like, Okay,
we're at it. We're done. And for years he wouldn't
talk to him. And it was like a very important
person in a very important city and he needed to
be able to have access to him, and for years
he didn't.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
The guy just wouldn't talk to him.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
You got a double check when you talk and stuff.
You know, somebody has done it to me, Like they've
sent me any screenshots of our conversation that they were
trying to share with somebody else. Ooh. And I was like,
your boy, I'm not talking to you for years. I
got on food with you.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah. Really you shut them down?

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, because what were you What were you trying to do?
Why are you screenshotting our conversation?

Speaker 2 (04:13):
You wearo oh so they sent you a screenshot of
your own conversation.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
You were like, well why do you have that?

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Right, why do you have that? Oh?

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Boy, I'd be pissed too, you know what, I do
get it, and I don't know if you guys get
it either. But when someone is sending something on my
social media to someone else, but they accidentally send it
to me, you know what I mean, Like with a comment,
So like sometimes a comment, yeah, Like sometimes it'll be nice,
like oh, like you know, so happy for her on
this vacation. But like sometimes it'll be like, oh my round,

(04:43):
did you see this? And it's like they send it
to me on Instagram instead of the person.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I'm so sorry my mom did that to you, because
my mom doesn't really understand sometimes who she's sending one
to and who she's talking to. And after almost a decade,
which she knows who you and Paulina, I'm Paulina. She
knows who you two are, but she It's not uncommon
that people sometimes confuse the comments that you make because
because you have apparently similar sounding voices. The only person

(05:10):
doesn't sound like anybody else on this show is me.
Sometimes I'm confused with Jason, but not very often. It
doesn't happen very often.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
You know what's weird, Your mom, like when she's texting me,
knows exactly who I am at all times, but I
think on line it gets mixed up at I.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Don't know, or she'll think that she's Thank god she's
ever done anything like terrible, I'm aware of it. Or
talk to any smack but she thinks she's talking to me,
but she's talking to the show. Or she thinks she's
talking privately but it's public. Yeah, well, we're working on tech.
We're working on tech a little bit. And her new
thing is I think I may have mentioned this before.
Her new thing is, Oh I didn't get that. And

(05:48):
I love my mom deeply. I love my mom to
the ends of the earth. But you got it. You
got it, definitely absolutely received it. Now what you did
with it once she received it, I don't know. But
you got the text and you got the email like
you did. It happened. It's twenty twenty five. It didn't
just disappear into the ether like yeah, got It's there
you got it.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, I didn't see it. I didn't get it.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
No, don't empower the no no, no, no, no no,
do not empower this. If you deleted it, if you
ignored it, if you skipped over it, that you still
got it.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Got it to get it.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Guys, you may as well just say I didn't want
to read it, or I erased it, or it wasn't
important to me, or I was I was distracted. Just
say that, but don't tell me. As soon as you
tell me you didn't get it, I know it was
one of the other things.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Already you got it.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Our elders love to do that. My aunt is older
and she does that, and I'm like, no, but you've
got like my invitations, every single one of them, it
says you read them on February one.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
That's the other things. Those were those darned read read receipts.
Those a gets you every time. And normally I would
tell someone to turn them off, and I would say, hey,
you know you read receipts are on?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I turn those off.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
No, certain people, I've decided not to inform them of
that because it's what I used them later as receipts.
When I said no, but yeah I did see it,
because there it is.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
You got it.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Like, I'm gonna put on that thing, that annoying feature.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
I don't even know if it still exists that you
can put on emails where it pops up when you
open it, like the recipient wants to know that or
the sender wants to know.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
That you read this.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Oh yeah, I'm gonna start putting that on all her
stuff because I'm like, nope, see, but I got confirmation
that you saw the email.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I'm just impressed that you were talking smack like this
early in the morning, like no one else is even awake,
Like it.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Has no hours, it has no schedule, it has no boundaries. No,
I have no boundaries these days.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
I have none. Hey, I absolutely I am.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I am standing on business and I am speaking my
truth and any other cliche phrases I could use.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I'm doing toes down, yeah, ten toes down.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Yeah you're seeing it on business, but like really on business.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, wow, ten toes down. That's why a lot of
people need to know ten toes down right now?

Speaker 3 (07:53):
I do.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, okay, well you heard a little sneak peak, which
is what I was trying to do. It was a
little sneak peak if Azzara Larsen song, which is gonna
be really exciting. Good morning Kiki, good morning, Hi Klin.
Jason's out today, Hilina. I put strong button. I got
a lot of buttons. I put strong one. I was
I had a phone in one hand. I was texting
with my left hand too, which is even more dangerous.
Oh wow, because because I'm a right handed person normally

(08:14):
it's a two hand situation.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
That fella that is going to.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Be isolated in ways that I could only hope it
would be someday when we win our Golden Dome Award
from the what is it illa State of Illinois or something?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, Illinois. Yeah, No, I think we're going to win
this year.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Also, I don't think a lot of people applied to win,
so and I think we actually applied this year, unlike
other years where we were told that we did. Bellahemina's
here on the phone in the text eight fled five
five nine one one oh three five.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
A lot of people been inquiring about my mental health lately,
by a lot of people, Like, by a lot of
people I meet a lot of people actually, like when
people say everyone's been asking me about or everyone I
keep getting asked about. That's usually like two people and
one person your mom, that no one asked you. But
I actually have been asking quite frequently about my mental health.
And I just want you to know it's great. It's

(09:04):
maybe it's never been better. I've never felt more free,
I really haven't.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
You have a new found energy like you have. Well
I'm not sure where it's coming from, but it's it's something.
And then the first I was like, oh no, I'm
worried people might think you know bad things about me.
You were like, they might think I'm you know, like
I don't know, this is terrible. And then they like, no, no, no,
we like it, like we like watching you. You just
melt down before I very eyes, so good. I'm glad

(09:28):
that I could. That's what I'm here for, guys, That's
what that was. What God put.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Me on this earth to do, is for you all
to witness my complete and total, gradual meltdown crash out.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, exactly, No, it's good.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Not ready for it.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
And by crash out.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I mean like wind up in a fetal position, like
in Florida, somewhere on a beach, you know, like you
know I don't mean anything worse than that. I just mean,
you know, at some point I'll just give up and
take care of Kiki's old job at KFC, which is
it's looking pretty good to me right now.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
We need you.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Except except for the working with the chicken part. I
don't think i'd like that. It's ulto TecTile. I don't
want to maybe I'll be a minimure of a managerial position.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, okay, you know what I mean. I don't want
to actually touch the raw chicken.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
And you know what, I don't think I ever touched
the raw chicken.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh you didn't know.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
But don't you have to make the fried chicken your like,
don't they dip it?

Speaker 3 (10:20):

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Open, but it comes, it's already, so you're not taking
the chicken and breading it.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah, okay, good because I don't think i'd be good
at that part now. I also don't want to be
responsible for the temperature of the chicken, because I think
everybody would get black chicken. Because I would be afraid
to kill them with salmonilla, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,

embarrassed by almost the whole world talking about the size
of their member.

Speaker 2 (11:06):

two ways, this is the way that I would like.
