Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Tangent time. Uh, Paulina, We're gonna just another
(00:03):
one of these, just one lines on the on our
idea sheet that I don't know what to do with.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So hit the entrail. We'll do right here.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's the Tangent giving you all this ship we couldn't
talk about on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Okay, So what what did you write?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I wrote, Kale?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
And what did I write?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You wrote? So I just exit out of it because
I didn't really think there was a topic in there. However,
she wrote something to the effect of I just brushed
my teeth and swallowed, so I feel like I ate toothpaste.
And then Kiki also wrote, are you a serial killer?
Do you wet your mouth before and after toothpaste? And
I remember this was a very polarizing topic on our
show because remember you said.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Wet your mouth?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yes you I believe.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Okay, so where do you wet your toothbrush?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Do you wet your toothbrush before? You just go in
there for me? Yeah? But then we also we got
into this whole fight because you said, after you put
toothpaste on your toothbrush and brush your teeth, that's it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
You don't write you because you're not supposed to.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
And that's when I knew. I was sitting with the killer.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well you're not supposed to, Well, who's say it?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
But then you swallow toothpaste.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It was it was fifty to fifty from the dentis.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, yeah, we did. We had know because the purpose
of the toothpaste is to cover your teeth in like
a fluoride or whatever it is. You'll cover your teeth
in a substance that protects your teeth. So if you
if you brush your teeth and then wash that off,
it defeats. It would be like I don't know, putting
on loation, then washing it off and then expecting the
lotion to still be effective. So that's why you wouldn't
(01:29):
do that, because you want the coating. I spit it out.
I don't swallow the entire like squad of toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So you spit that out toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I put the toothpaste on, I got electric toothbrush, I
clean the teeth, you know whatever, I need the thing,
and then whatever the remnants are of that, I spit
that out and I go about my day and there's
nothing left.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
In my mouth.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So you're mad that I think we put it the
water in and spit it out.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm I'm mad about any of it. Actually, it was quite.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The debate, Like I don't have the energy anymore, but
like I definitely feel like I don't. I'm anti florid,
so I don't need anything coating my teeth. I just
want to get the gunk off them.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I think I just did that by brushing them.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, but you want to get it out you can't.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
But you you keep a coat of it in there.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I guess I do.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yes, you so you ate florid.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I've never had a problem with this.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You eat toothpastees.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
I guess I do, out of the bottle. But I
don't start the rumor.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, I want you guys. Sometimes you guys have a complex.
I am so rarely mad.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I know, but you're hard to read, and so we
equate that sometimes with like mad, even if you're not.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I'm actually I'm not mad at all. I'm just I'm
mad about it, is what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Stop hurting us. I know I'm just messing with you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I use that word very liberally.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This is from April thirteenth of twenty twenty four New
York Post I'm a dentist New York Post.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I trust them.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Here's the truth about rinsing after brushing your teeth. And
by the way, what I googled was do you rinse
after brushing your teeth?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I didn't like. I didn't. I tried to make it
a neutral. Sure, let me see here.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
After years of being told to spit and rinse, Americans
are now being told merely to spit as dental experts
pour water on the notion of swish swishing after attending
to your pearly white A rep for the American Dental
Association and Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Okay professor has
recommended that people should brush their teeth at least twice
(03:42):
a day with a fluoride containing toothpaste full stop. When
you rinse, you're basically rinsing away the active ingredients of
the toothpaste that you just put on your teeth, said
another professor. Another option is for those who want a
rinse after brushing to follow up with a mouthwash containing fluoride.
According to a nineteen ninety nine study of over twenty
eight one hundred teenagers in England, those who used less
(04:03):
water in their mouths after brushing, had less cavities and
decaying teeth than those who rinsed thoroughly.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Now look up how we add fluoride is for you.
I just I'm very antied, so.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't I don't know, man, I go out and
breathe the air.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I also like to eat fast food, so I
don't know. I just I feel like I, you know, moderation,
everything in moderation, and apparently like to eat toothpaste too.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
You do it started when you were looking.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't know, but look at me. I'm relatively healthy.
I mean, I think I got nice teeth. I do
have nice I do.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I'm looking at them.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I have nice teeth.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
If you guys would just start flossing, that really stresses
me out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I do flass, and I've been working very hard at
it because when I go to the dentist, I feel
like they're extracting teeth when they're just cleaning them. Like
I feel like I don't know that. When I leave
the dentists, I'm shocked there any teeth left. Do you bleed?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I do?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, I do, and and I get like chastised, and
I really work hard at it though, Like I brought
my teeth three times a day. I flows like every
other day. I don't flash it. I'm not gonna lie
to you. I don't flush every day. But then I
have one of those water picks too, and I get
in the shower and it hurts kind.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Of Do I need a water I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You probably don't because I know there and it's like
a fucking murder scene. And they're like, oh no, well
yeah yeah, And then the lady's like, it's not nice
to me. It's like she thinks I like don't care.
So first she'll say your teeth look great, like they
look great, and then she'll get in there and chip
away at him and then be like, oh boy, here
we go again. I'm like, lady, I don't know what
(05:33):
to tell you. I have no idea what to tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Because I know you paid out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I really work hard at it, right, And I get
all nervous because I don't want to go in there
and get judged, you know. And then sure as shit,
the dentist come does the drive by doctor Laurence. It
looks fine to me, how do you know?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
He he just looks quick as he's walking away, but.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Like stop chastising me.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I heard a rumor when I was little, and I
really believe this, well, not little, but like when I
was in high school. I think everyone was like passing
this room around that if you uh performed a sexual.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Act as on a man, oh, that they could tell.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That they could tell at the dentists.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I think that's that can be I think I read
that can be true, depending how aggressively you did it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Because I guess like the back of your you could
be bruised.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, I think it's if you like it. Is that
true depends how good, good, good headed you are.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm embarrassed, like I don't want to go in there,
like they know too much.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I mean they do say you can they can tell
a lot from your teeth, like they can tell your
other health issues. Or are they lying? Or is that
the eyes both both.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Like your gums and your eyes are both. Really That's
why I try to get you at guys all to
go to both.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
But no, but I'm in here. I'm like, I'm really
working hard. I'm trying to make my teeth.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know Well's teeth for forty years. Bro, You've done
a fabulous job.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
But I want to go in there and get my teeth.
We haven't had to replace any yet, which is nice. Yeah,
but I really like I want them to say like,
good job, dude, and it never happens, Like I want
the to pat me on the back and be like, Christopher,
you did a good job this time.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Well they want you to come back, so maybe that's
why they don't.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But I'll tell you what, I have a hell of
a time with these cleanings, except you know, I don't
go in there with forty seven cavities like some people
in this room, So I don't know. I don't know
if Jason everbrushes his teeth.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think he does, Okay, Yes, A dentist can tell
if you've recently engaged in oral sex by looking for
palatal palilila, tiny red or purple spots like Hickey's on
the roof of your mouth caused by suction or trauma,
which can also stem from other issues.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So if you're a real one, they can tell. If
you're doing a subpar job, they'll never know, so don't
do it, suthing.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I want.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I want people to go to the dentists and have
them say like, oh.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Boy, there, I doubt that job, right, that's what I
that's I don't want that kind of good job, but
like I want a good job.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh yeah, brother, Well you're doing a great job, sweetie.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I don't think years, I don't think my hygienis agrees
with you, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I mean people people lose their teeth every day, and
I'm getting into that age. Yeah, I'm getting into the
age group of like what happens to your teeth? Like
I'm starting to run into certain classmates and I'm like,
they're losing their teeth, yes, girl, And it's like the
side tooth is the one that girl, Yeah, that's where
it starts.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It must be pretty common because a lot of people
have veneers and things like that, which, boy, can you
that's a tricky one because they're expensive and I know
people who spend a lot of money and they don't
it doesn't look natural or better, Like you've got to
be really careful with.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Those, yep.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like shaving down all my teeth is what scares me
because like.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
If I don't deal right, they ain't grown back. Yeah,
I don't know about it.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You get a nerve, it's wrap, you know, Like that's
why I scared.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
So yeah, my friends here. Both want fake teeth, and
they both have beautiful top.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
With the fake ship.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I'm done. I'm done start with. I'm getting back on
the Yeah, I don't even think you need that.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But let me see, I don't know. I don't understand
why you think you need races.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't need them.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
But it's like for my wedding, I just want to perfect.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You look great.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
You look great.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
No, see, I have the permanent retainer on my bottom teeth,
and that's I think what causes a lot of the
problems because hitches. It's a very, very difficult to keep clean.
So and I got little the little threader, and I'm
in there working around it and stuff. It's like, I
think that's the and the hygienas is like, take this
thing out. The dentist is like, do not take that
thing out because your teeth will move again because you're
(09:30):
not gonna wear a fucking in visil line retainer every night,
And I'm not. She's right, So you know what a
little harder work for you, lady.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Sorry, there you go. I pay you out of pocket.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They should treat you as such.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Cash money. There's no red carpet. When I rolled in there.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's insane that you do that. And you're such a
good friend.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I know I am, and I don't get enough credit
for being such a good friend.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You really don't, because I would never pay out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
My great friend's wife is a dentist, and after years
of being chastised for not going to her, I do
go to her now and she makes me pay full
price because we're not in network, which probably we're not
in network anywhere, are we, right, Here's a guy in
a show who's in network Lower Whacker, Yeah right, he's
on the quarter of Lower Whacker and Lower Whacker in
(10:11):
a dark alley.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
He'll totally help you out. But like, you're not.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Wrong because my dentist I got an email saying that
he no longer takes my insurance, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Well, how did you decide that? Like you get what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Why are you not in my network?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
All of a sudden it's the same insurance insurance? If like,
why is this man trying to play with me? Like
I want to definitely playing I think so I think.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
He picked me and I have fuck it, don't get
me started on it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You don't get me started on I have dental insurance,
but I don't know why I'm paying for it because
my pers I guess I have it because if something
really went awry and it would be very expensive, then
I would probably have to get referred out to somebody
in network because I'm not paying, or lady would have
to give me like an insurance price, because I mean,
a teeth cleaning fines a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
My friend is happy.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
She does a good job, and I have a feeling
like if a tooth fell out or something that I
could call and she would I can sew it back
in or wherever they do.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Is a couple of hundred dollars for it, Like if
you don't use your insurance, it's a couple of hundred
dollars to.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Get your teeth cleaned and X rays and all the
rest of the bulls shape.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Oh oh my god.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, that's crazy, and I.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Pay it, but I'm not real happy about it, but
like it is what it is. I guess I'm hoping
that if like shit really hit the fan, that I
would be able to go to her and she'd hook
me up because she's my friend.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
But actually I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I don't know that I wouldn't get a bill anyway,
and then it would be like fuck me. But I
just don't even get me started. With insurance.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I submit the same.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Claim every year, and every year I fight all year
to get any even percent of what I'm supposed to get,
and they've got excuse after excuse after My favorite is
I send this claim. It happens every year. I send
a claim in end of December for the year. They
come back to me in March and they go, oh,
(11:53):
we looked at your claim and you're beyond the filing
deadline because you only have one year to file. And
I'm like, ha ha, but I did file right in December.
You just didn't fucking look at it for ninety days.
And then they go oh, and then it goes all
the way back through the process again, and then they come, oh,
(12:14):
you're missing one bill out of the whatever. I gotta
go find that. But by like August, they still haven't
paid me. And it's just excuse after excuse.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Like you motherfuckers, period pay me the money.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
You got your money, you take it right out of
my check.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You take it right out of my check on time,
you never miss.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Are you doing that right now? With my mammogram.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I got a bill for like one thousand dollars for
something that I didn't want and that my doctor told
me I had to have, and I called them like, no,
we don't cover until before forty I'm like, you're telling
me if a doctor says that someone's high risk and
they have to get this done, there's zero coverage. And
they're like, wow, she would have to change the code.
It's like, you think I'm doing this shit for fun.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's what I'm saying. Like insurance man, they are working
their ass off not to pay you.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
And you sometimes it's a game of just like WHU
tucker out first?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
One hundred percent? Agree I one hundred percent. They want
you to give up. They're banking on that and I'm
not asking for anything that's not right there in the plan.
It's written right there. And every year I gotta go, hey,
can we look at the plan document?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All? You're right? That is how it works. Oh it is.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And I feel really bad for like the quote unquote coordinators,
the people that you actually get to talk to, because
all they're doing is organizing the information for the adjuster.
But they're the ones who are client facing, so they're
the ones that I have to be like get firm
with because they won't tell you who's making the decision
because I'll just call them. You don't get to talk
to them. You talk to these people, the people that
(13:38):
you call and talk to. They're just organizing all the
paperwork and stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
They're super nice, they are.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But it's like, I feel terrible.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's a shitty job because it's like you're the one
that gets yelled at for the decision that you don't
get to make.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I always just have to be like, listen, my frustration
is not with you, you know. So if I sound
a little hot, it's because of that. You know, it's
someone else, it's not you.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
But yeah, insurance was really hard.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Do you ever have a conversation with customer service? Did
I already go on this rant the other day?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
You went off?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I think off air?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We did it on the airline?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, but it wasn't on the air though, No,
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I just fucking like, do you ever have a customer
service interaction where you're like are you yes?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Are we like is this a joke? Like this? Are
you doing this for? Like a training example? And then
at the very end, you're going.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
To go just kidding, man, here's a free first class
upgrade because we were just this is just for the
purposes of an example, because I went to the airport
the other day and I was flying back to Chicago,
and I get to the think and the weather's really shitty,
and I get to the thing and it says as
soon as I walk up to the like, right, we're
supposed to leave, flight canceled. I'm like, well, that sucks,
but I happen to be standing right there, so I
(14:47):
was first in line to get rebooked.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Right, So they rebooked me the next.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Day because they're like, we don't think anything's going to
Chicago today, so you could sit here all day if
you want, in the airport, or we can just try
this again tomorrow. And I got my little pilot app
and I looked and tomorrow was much better day. So
I said, you know what, fuck it, I'll just come
back tomorrow. Booked me there, and then I had to
crawl my ass back to the you know, rental car
counter and go, Hi, it's me. Can I have my
car back? And then I had to crawl my ass
back in a hotel. They hadn't even cleaned the room yet.
(15:12):
They're like, oh, you're back here and go take the room.
So then I tried. So then like, because I'm on
the same flight the next day, I could already check
in for the flight right because it was like by
the time everything happened, it was time for check in
for the next flight. So I go to check in
for my flight. It won't let me check in to
the flight. And I'm getting nervous now because I realized,
you know, there were sixty people behind me trying to
(15:34):
get rebooked, and there were no flights. Even if I
had wanted to get rebooked that day, all those flights
were full. So I'm like, fuck, if if this doesn't
check me in, like, am I ever going home?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Am I for you?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Am I ever going to get to go home?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Because like what if I'm not actually booked on this
flight and then they give it to seat to somebody
else and then because you know, if they cancel five flights,
then all those people, what is that thousand people all
the most They've got to figure out how to get home.
So they got to find a thousand anyway. So I
call and I was like, hey, airline, I can't check
in and they were like oh, and then they do
(16:10):
the thing where, oh, that must be very frustrating, you know,
they give you the line that they're supposed to like
commiserate with you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, I hate it when that happens. Let me look
into this. And they were like, well, sir, you can't
check in for two flights. And I'm like, excuse me.
They're like, well, you're checked in for your flight today.
You can't check in for your flight today and tomorrow.
And I said, ma'am, you canceled the first one, like
I was checked into a flight that isn't going in
the air. The low plane is not taking off, it's
(16:39):
not going to Chicago. So I need you to uncheck
me in for the fake flight and check me in
for the real flight. And she's like, sir, I don't
think you understand. I would be unable to check you
into two flights. It's just not possible. I said, lady,
the first flight. There is no first flight. Y'all told
me to go home. We are not flying in the
air today. She's like, oh, okay, I think I understand,
(17:01):
and let me hold on. I'll say I'm gonna escalate this.
She comes back, Yeah, I mean I was able to
confirm you cannot be checked into two flights at the
same time. And at this point I'm in the mall
trying to buy clothing that's clean ish so I can
have clothes to wear. And I just finally sit down
on the bench and forty five minutes later, I'm like,
are you not like you seem like a very nice
(17:23):
And I said this to her. I said, you seem
like a very nice woman. And I'm sure people yell
at you all day, but I'm frustrated because I don't
think you're listening.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I cannot fly to day.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Oh yeah, that sounds like a problem, but we can't
check you into two flights at the same time. So
finally then they send me to the Internet department. I'm like,
you guys are missing this. This has nothing to do
with your ACS technical This has to do with the
fact that you got me on a plane that's not
going anywhere. Do you want me to go Just sit
in that plane until tomorrow when it flies.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I'll be fine. It's fine. At least I know I'm
going home.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
So finally they're like, oh, yeah, you know, you can't
the internet person, you can't check into two flights, sir,
It's just no joke. Sixty minutes later, they email me
a boarding pass for the next day. When I got
to the airport the next day, I was still checked
into a flight that never flew. And I have a
piece of paper, and of course no one knows what
(18:16):
to do with that because they're like, no one's seen
paper at the airport and you know, I don't know
how long.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So they're like, you own a printer, like you can
print that shit out. Well that's another thing.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Try to get somebody printed out when you don't will
you're not near a printer, like I'm not at home
because right so they're like, oh, just print this out.
I'm like printing out where They're like, well, you could
just use the app to check into the airport, but
I can't check in because I check me so anyway,
I was just like, I'm not on this fucking thing.
I'm never going home. I live here now. I'm going
(18:46):
to be checked into this flight forever. I have a
flight in six months, I won't be able to get
on because I'm still I probably am still checked in
from last week.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I haven't even gone to look.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I had a customer service dude that hung up on
me the other day. He got so I was like,
I don't think you're allowed to do that, And then
I started recording the call because I was getting real pissed.
I actually like, hope that never sees the light to day.
And he's like, you cannot record me, and I'm like,
you're recording me?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, true, true, I can't record. I can't record you,
but you can record me.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I want to hear this.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh, we're trying to resolve.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I was trying to like get money back from a
banking app. But it was just like they weren't listening
to me. They weren't compassionate. It was he was. He
had an attitude from the rip, which I don't think
you're supposed to do. Like he was already annoyed when
he picked up, but yeah, yeah, like apparently we're not
allowed to record them, but they can record us.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Interesting, Well, it's like the bumble thing, you know, it's
like you are not you and we will not hear
one more word about it. And that I wish I
still had the emails because they're so aggressive.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
But what if you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And I'm like I don't know what to fuck. I mean,
if you don't want me on your app, that's fine,
But the reason you're citing is that I'm an impostor
and I'm not, And how the fuck do you know?
Because you won't talk to me about it, And it's like,
we will not be reopening this case. Do not contact
us again. Our decision is final and correct. But it's
not because dickhead, I am me.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You can get anyone on the phone who actually works
for the company. I mean, like I hate to be
that guy, but it's like nobody actually knows what's going on.
They just have these like little phrases to try and
calm you down, and they don't call me down. They
make me more mad, like, oh, it must be really
difficult for what you're going through, Like right exactly, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Give and like I don't give a shit. I don't
need your stupid app. There's one hundred other ones and
I don't really even want to be on any of
them anyway. But when you tell me that I am
not me and fuck you, well, then it becomes like no,
hold on a minute, don't talk to me, like speak.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
To me, nice bumble, How can you be so sure.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And by the way, in the meantime, there are ten
people using my image on the app right now, fair
being right, but you won't put me on there, and
I'm the guy mm hmm, So anyway, go ahead and
don't if you ever see me on Bumble, it's definitely
not me because and like we will I discuss this
with you any further. There will be no further responses
from us on this. Okay, Well, I'll just continue to
(21:05):
go live as a fucking fake imposter then of myself.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That's a compliment though, that they think you're fake.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I guess I don't. I mean, you know, if you
don't want me on your app, that's fine, just say.
I mean, if it was like you said something weird,
I believe that I'd be like that. It probably happened. Yeah,
all right, well so I'll see you next time. But
that's not what they said. They said something else. It's
just how emphatic they are, like, we know what we're doing.
You don't you look like a fucking idiot because you're
(21:31):
telling the guy who it is. And by the way,
you're emailing me on my email account with my name
attached to it. Who else could it be in the meantime,
Fred not really.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
The guy at.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yahoo dot com has an account and he's like scamming
people left and right, and people get all excited thinking
that they match with the guy who listened to on
the radio, or they don't, or they're like disappointed that
they have to match with the guy in the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Either way, mister, how long have you been a fan
of mine?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Except it's not me?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
So so I can tell you one hundred percent bumble
fuck you. And I'm not on there ever, and I'm banned.
I'm actually banned from being myself.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
All right, Great, where do we tell the ladies you're going?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, I'm not going. I am done.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You're not going nowhere.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's been paused for a while.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
What's up right on air? Your dms?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, well we.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Don't need to do that, and not my dms, please wide.
I am not Patty Stanger. I am not setting anyone
one up with front because you guys can shoot your
shot with uys. You do that, GIRs, Okay, And if
you go to Keiki Sho'll give you false hope.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I sure will.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
She will.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, from when I understand Kiky's are the ops over here?
And she tells everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, not everybody, just the ladies I'd like for you.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I think there's would be not just the people who DM.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
And it's very kind of you if you have any
interest in going out with me, and I'm very grateful,
But if you I would love to see, like, in
a wider array, who you guys individually without knowing the
other picks. I would be interested. If there were one
hundred people, I would be curious to see who each
of you would pick for me.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
A thousand let's do it at Darvin this Friday.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
But it can't just be people who show up with
people who DM. Like I mean, if you could have
a cross section of one thousand random single people, I'd
be fascinated to know if any of you would pick
the same person for me, if you didn't know who
the other picked, if you interviewed them like all independently.
I wonder if you guys would would find the same
qualities and sensibilities in the like That would really mean
(23:26):
something to me. Honestly, if there were a thousand random women,
this is never gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
It would take too much time.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Do we do this?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But if all three of you and Jason came back
with the same person. That would definitely mean something to
me because you guys know me better than almost anybody
because you have to fucking stare at me all day.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
But then you'd fall in love with like someone who
wasn't on our list. I just know it, and then
you'd want to go on a date with her because
we didn't pick her or something.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I don't know, No, maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Do you think your picker is ready to be pick?
What's healthy for you?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I don't know. Okay, I don't know. I'm good as
we're just chilling.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
How do we find a thousand women?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Right, we're just chilling.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
We put it out there our.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Social No, Nope, we're not.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
No, we interview them on zoom.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
We're not We're not going to Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So this is a thanks for listening to tangent and
we're in a lot of places, by the way, if
you want to catch up on the show, YouTube, Facebook,
TikTok all all the different places. Of course, the iHeart
app in the highlights tabs search for the Fred Show.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Thank you for listening.
All right, Tangent time. Uh, Paulina, We're gonna just another
(00:03):
one of these, just one lines on the on our
idea sheet that I don't know what to do with.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
So hit the entrail. We'll do right here.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
It's the Tangent giving you all this ship we couldn't
talk about on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Okay, So what what did you write?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I wrote, Kale?
Speaker 4 (00:19):
And what did I write?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
You wrote? So I just exit out of it because
I didn't really think there was a topic in there. However,
she wrote something to the effect of I just brushed
my teeth and swallowed, so I feel like I ate toothpaste.
And then Kiki also wrote, are you a serial killer?
Do you wet your mouth before and after toothpaste? And
I remember this was a very polarizing topic on our
show because remember you said.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Wet your mouth?
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yes you I believe.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Okay, so where do you wet your toothbrush?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Do you wet your toothbrush before? You just go in
there for me? Yeah? But then we also we got
into this whole fight because you said, after you put
toothpaste on your toothbrush and brush your teeth, that's it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
You don't write you because you're not supposed to.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
And that's when I knew. I was sitting with the killer.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well you're not supposed to, Well, who's say it?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
But then you swallow toothpaste.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It was it was fifty to fifty from the dentis.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, yeah, we did. We had know because the purpose
of the toothpaste is to cover your teeth in like
a fluoride or whatever it is. You'll cover your teeth
in a substance that protects your teeth. So if you
if you brush your teeth and then wash that off,
it defeats. It would be like I don't know, putting
on loation, then washing it off and then expecting the
lotion to still be effective. So that's why you wouldn't
(01:29):
do that, because you want the coating. I spit it out.
I don't swallow the entire like squad of toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So you spit that out toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I put the toothpaste on, I got electric toothbrush, I
clean the teeth, you know whatever, I need the thing,
and then whatever the remnants are of that, I spit
that out and I go about my day and there's
nothing left.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
In my mouth.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So you're mad that I think we put it the
water in and spit it out.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
But I don't.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I'm I'm mad about any of it. Actually, it was quite.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
The debate, Like I don't have the energy anymore, but
like I definitely feel like I don't. I'm anti florid,
so I don't need anything coating my teeth. I just
want to get the gunk off them.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I think I just did that by brushing them.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, but you want to get it out you can't.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
But you you keep a coat of it in there.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I guess I do.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yes, you so you ate florid.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I've never had a problem with this.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
You eat toothpastees.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
I guess I do, out of the bottle. But I
don't start the rumor.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
No, I want you guys. Sometimes you guys have a complex.
I am so rarely mad.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I know, but you're hard to read, and so we
equate that sometimes with like mad, even if you're not.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I'm actually I'm not mad at all. I'm just I'm
mad about it, is what I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Stop hurting us. I know I'm just messing with you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
I use that word very liberally.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This is from April thirteenth of twenty twenty four New
York Post I'm a dentist New York Post.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I trust them.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Here's the truth about rinsing after brushing your teeth. And
by the way, what I googled was do you rinse
after brushing your teeth?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I didn't like. I didn't. I tried to make it
a neutral. Sure, let me see here.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
After years of being told to spit and rinse, Americans
are now being told merely to spit as dental experts
pour water on the notion of swish swishing after attending
to your pearly white A rep for the American Dental
Association and Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Okay professor has
recommended that people should brush their teeth at least twice
(03:42):
a day with a fluoride containing toothpaste full stop. When
you rinse, you're basically rinsing away the active ingredients of
the toothpaste that you just put on your teeth, said
another professor. Another option is for those who want a
rinse after brushing to follow up with a mouthwash containing fluoride.
According to a nineteen ninety nine study of over twenty
eight one hundred teenagers in England, those who used less
(04:03):
water in their mouths after brushing, had less cavities and
decaying teeth than those who rinsed thoroughly.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Now look up how we add fluoride is for you.
I just I'm very antied, so.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I don't I don't know, man, I go out and
breathe the air.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
And I also like to eat fast food, so I
don't know. I just I feel like I, you know, moderation,
everything in moderation, and apparently like to eat toothpaste too.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
You do it started when you were looking.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I don't know, but look at me. I'm relatively healthy.
I mean, I think I got nice teeth. I do
have nice I do.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
I'm looking at them.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
I have nice teeth.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
If you guys would just start flossing, that really stresses
me out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I do flass, and I've been working very hard at
it because when I go to the dentist, I feel
like they're extracting teeth when they're just cleaning them. Like
I feel like I don't know that. When I leave
the dentists, I'm shocked there any teeth left. Do you bleed?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I do?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah, I do, and and I get like chastised, and
I really work hard at it though, Like I brought
my teeth three times a day. I flows like every
other day. I don't flash it. I'm not gonna lie
to you. I don't flush every day. But then I
have one of those water picks too, and I get
in the shower and it hurts kind.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Of Do I need a water I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You probably don't because I know there and it's like
a fucking murder scene. And they're like, oh no, well
yeah yeah, And then the lady's like, it's not nice
to me. It's like she thinks I like don't care.
So first she'll say your teeth look great, like they
look great, and then she'll get in there and chip
away at him and then be like, oh boy, here
we go again. I'm like, lady, I don't know what
(05:33):
to tell you. I have no idea what to tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Because I know you paid out of pocket.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
I really work hard at it, right, And I get
all nervous because I don't want to go in there
and get judged, you know. And then sure as shit,
the dentist come does the drive by doctor Laurence. It
looks fine to me, how do you know?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (05:50):
He he just looks quick as he's walking away, but.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Like stop chastising me.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I heard a rumor when I was little, and I
really believe this, well, not little, but like when I
was in high school. I think everyone was like passing
this room around that if you uh performed a sexual.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Act as on a man, oh, that they could tell.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
That they could tell at the dentists.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I think that's that can be I think I read
that can be true, depending how aggressively you did it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Because I guess like the back of your you could
be bruised.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, I think it's if you like it. Is that
true depends how good, good, good headed you are.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm embarrassed, like I don't want to go in there,
like they know too much.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
I mean they do say you can they can tell
a lot from your teeth, like they can tell your
other health issues. Or are they lying? Or is that
the eyes both both.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Like your gums and your eyes are both. Really That's
why I try to get you at guys all to
go to both.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
But no, but I'm in here. I'm like, I'm really
working hard. I'm trying to make my teeth.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
You know Well's teeth for forty years. Bro, You've done
a fabulous job.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
But I want to go in there and get my teeth.
We haven't had to replace any yet, which is nice. Yeah,
but I really like I want them to say like,
good job, dude, and it never happens, Like I want
the to pat me on the back and be like, Christopher,
you did a good job this time.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Well they want you to come back, so maybe that's
why they don't.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But I'll tell you what, I have a hell of
a time with these cleanings, except you know, I don't
go in there with forty seven cavities like some people
in this room, So I don't know. I don't know
if Jason everbrushes his teeth.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I think he does, Okay, Yes, A dentist can tell
if you've recently engaged in oral sex by looking for
palatal palilila, tiny red or purple spots like Hickey's on
the roof of your mouth caused by suction or trauma,
which can also stem from other issues.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
So if you're a real one, they can tell. If
you're doing a subpar job, they'll never know, so don't
do it, suthing.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I want.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I want people to go to the dentists and have
them say like, oh.
Speaker 7 (07:44):
Boy, there, I doubt that job, right, that's what I
that's I don't want that kind of good job, but
like I want a good job.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Oh yeah, brother, Well you're doing a great job, sweetie.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I don't think years, I don't think my hygienis agrees
with you, but thank you.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
I mean people people lose their teeth every day, and
I'm getting into that age. Yeah, I'm getting into the
age group of like what happens to your teeth? Like
I'm starting to run into certain classmates and I'm like,
they're losing their teeth, yes, girl, And it's like the
side tooth is the one that girl, Yeah, that's where
it starts.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It must be pretty common because a lot of people
have veneers and things like that, which, boy, can you
that's a tricky one because they're expensive and I know
people who spend a lot of money and they don't
it doesn't look natural or better, Like you've got to
be really careful with.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Those, yep.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Like shaving down all my teeth is what scares me
because like.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
If I don't deal right, they ain't grown back. Yeah,
I don't know about it.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You get a nerve, it's wrap, you know, Like that's
why I scared.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
So yeah, my friends here. Both want fake teeth, and
they both have beautiful top.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
With the fake ship.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
I'm done. I'm done start with. I'm getting back on
the Yeah, I don't even think you need that.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
But let me see, I don't know. I don't understand
why you think you need races.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
I don't need them.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
But it's like for my wedding, I just want to perfect.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You look great.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
You look great.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
No, see, I have the permanent retainer on my bottom teeth,
and that's I think what causes a lot of the
problems because hitches. It's a very, very difficult to keep clean.
So and I got little the little threader, and I'm
in there working around it and stuff. It's like, I
think that's the and the hygienas is like, take this
thing out. The dentist is like, do not take that
thing out because your teeth will move again because you're
(09:30):
not gonna wear a fucking in visil line retainer every night,
And I'm not. She's right, So you know what a
little harder work for you, lady.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Sorry, there you go. I pay you out of pocket.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They should treat you as such.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Cash money. There's no red carpet. When I rolled in there.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
That's insane that you do that. And you're such a
good friend.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I know I am, and I don't get enough credit
for being such a good friend.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
You really don't, because I would never pay out.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
My great friend's wife is a dentist, and after years
of being chastised for not going to her, I do
go to her now and she makes me pay full
price because we're not in network, which probably we're not
in network anywhere, are we, right, Here's a guy in
a show who's in network Lower Whacker, Yeah right, he's
on the quarter of Lower Whacker and Lower Whacker in
(10:11):
a dark alley.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
He'll totally help you out. But like, you're not.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Wrong because my dentist I got an email saying that
he no longer takes my insurance, and I'm like.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Well, how did you decide that? Like you get what
I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Why are you not in my network?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
All of a sudden it's the same insurance insurance? If like,
why is this man trying to play with me? Like
I want to definitely playing I think so I think.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
He picked me and I have fuck it, don't get
me started on it.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
You don't get me started on I have dental insurance,
but I don't know why I'm paying for it because
my pers I guess I have it because if something
really went awry and it would be very expensive, then
I would probably have to get referred out to somebody
in network because I'm not paying, or lady would have
to give me like an insurance price, because I mean,
a teeth cleaning fines a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
My friend is happy.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
She does a good job, and I have a feeling
like if a tooth fell out or something that I
could call and she would I can sew it back
in or wherever they do.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Is a couple of hundred dollars for it, Like if
you don't use your insurance, it's a couple of hundred
dollars to.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Get your teeth cleaned and X rays and all the
rest of the bulls shape.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Oh oh my god.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Yeah, that's crazy, and I.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Pay it, but I'm not real happy about it, but
like it is what it is. I guess I'm hoping
that if like shit really hit the fan, that I
would be able to go to her and she'd hook
me up because she's my friend.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
But actually I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I don't know that I wouldn't get a bill anyway,
and then it would be like fuck me. But I
just don't even get me started. With insurance.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
I submit the same.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Claim every year, and every year I fight all year
to get any even percent of what I'm supposed to get,
and they've got excuse after excuse after My favorite is
I send this claim. It happens every year. I send
a claim in end of December for the year. They
come back to me in March and they go, oh,
(11:53):
we looked at your claim and you're beyond the filing
deadline because you only have one year to file. And
I'm like, ha ha, but I did file right in December.
You just didn't fucking look at it for ninety days.
And then they go oh, and then it goes all
the way back through the process again, and then they come, oh,
(12:14):
you're missing one bill out of the whatever. I gotta
go find that. But by like August, they still haven't
paid me. And it's just excuse after excuse.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Like you motherfuckers, period pay me the money.
Speaker 5 (12:26):
You got your money, you take it right out of
my check.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
You take it right out of my check on time,
you never miss.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Are you doing that right now? With my mammogram.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I got a bill for like one thousand dollars for
something that I didn't want and that my doctor told
me I had to have, and I called them like, no,
we don't cover until before forty I'm like, you're telling
me if a doctor says that someone's high risk and
they have to get this done, there's zero coverage. And
they're like, wow, she would have to change the code.
It's like, you think I'm doing this shit for fun.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
That's what I'm saying. Like insurance man, they are working
their ass off not to pay you.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
And you sometimes it's a game of just like WHU
tucker out first?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
One hundred percent? Agree I one hundred percent. They want
you to give up. They're banking on that and I'm
not asking for anything that's not right there in the plan.
It's written right there. And every year I gotta go, hey,
can we look at the plan document?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All? You're right? That is how it works. Oh it is.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And I feel really bad for like the quote unquote coordinators,
the people that you actually get to talk to, because
all they're doing is organizing the information for the adjuster.
But they're the ones who are client facing, so they're
the ones that I have to be like get firm
with because they won't tell you who's making the decision
because I'll just call them. You don't get to talk
to them. You talk to these people, the people that
(13:38):
you call and talk to. They're just organizing all the
paperwork and stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
They're super nice, they are.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But it's like, I feel terrible.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's a shitty job because it's like you're the one
that gets yelled at for the decision that you don't
get to make.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I always just have to be like, listen, my frustration
is not with you, you know. So if I sound
a little hot, it's because of that. You know, it's
someone else, it's not you.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
But yeah, insurance was really hard.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Do you ever have a conversation with customer service? Did
I already go on this rant the other day?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
You went off?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I think off air?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
We did it on the airline?
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, but it wasn't on the air though, No,
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
I just fucking like, do you ever have a customer
service interaction where you're like are you yes?
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Are we like is this a joke? Like this? Are
you doing this for? Like a training example? And then
at the very end, you're going.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
To go just kidding, man, here's a free first class
upgrade because we were just this is just for the
purposes of an example, because I went to the airport
the other day and I was flying back to Chicago,
and I get to the think and the weather's really shitty,
and I get to the thing and it says as
soon as I walk up to the like, right, we're
supposed to leave, flight canceled. I'm like, well, that sucks,
but I happen to be standing right there, so I
(14:47):
was first in line to get rebooked.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Right, So they rebooked me the next.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Day because they're like, we don't think anything's going to
Chicago today, so you could sit here all day if
you want, in the airport, or we can just try
this again tomorrow. And I got my little pilot app
and I looked and tomorrow was much better day. So
I said, you know what, fuck it, I'll just come
back tomorrow. Booked me there, and then I had to
crawl my ass back to the you know, rental car
counter and go, Hi, it's me. Can I have my
car back? And then I had to crawl my ass
back in a hotel. They hadn't even cleaned the room yet.
(15:12):
They're like, oh, you're back here and go take the room.
So then I tried. So then like, because I'm on
the same flight the next day, I could already check
in for the flight right because it was like by
the time everything happened, it was time for check in
for the next flight. So I go to check in
for my flight. It won't let me check in to
the flight. And I'm getting nervous now because I realized,
you know, there were sixty people behind me trying to
(15:34):
get rebooked, and there were no flights. Even if I
had wanted to get rebooked that day, all those flights
were full. So I'm like, fuck, if if this doesn't
check me in, like, am I ever going home?
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Ever?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Am I for you?
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Like?
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Am I ever going to get to go home?
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Because like what if I'm not actually booked on this
flight and then they give it to seat to somebody
else and then because you know, if they cancel five flights,
then all those people, what is that thousand people all
the most They've got to figure out how to get home.
So they got to find a thousand anyway. So I
call and I was like, hey, airline, I can't check
in and they were like oh, and then they do
(16:10):
the thing where, oh, that must be very frustrating, you know,
they give you the line that they're supposed to like
commiserate with you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh, I hate it when that happens. Let me look
into this. And they were like, well, sir, you can't
check in for two flights. And I'm like, excuse me.
They're like, well, you're checked in for your flight today.
You can't check in for your flight today and tomorrow.
And I said, ma'am, you canceled the first one, like
I was checked into a flight that isn't going in
the air. The low plane is not taking off, it's
(16:39):
not going to Chicago. So I need you to uncheck
me in for the fake flight and check me in
for the real flight. And she's like, sir, I don't
think you understand. I would be unable to check you
into two flights. It's just not possible. I said, lady,
the first flight. There is no first flight. Y'all told
me to go home. We are not flying in the
air today. She's like, oh, okay, I think I understand,
(17:01):
and let me hold on. I'll say I'm gonna escalate this.
She comes back, Yeah, I mean I was able to
confirm you cannot be checked into two flights at the
same time. And at this point I'm in the mall
trying to buy clothing that's clean ish so I can
have clothes to wear. And I just finally sit down
on the bench and forty five minutes later, I'm like,
are you not like you seem like a very nice
(17:23):
And I said this to her. I said, you seem
like a very nice woman. And I'm sure people yell
at you all day, but I'm frustrated because I don't
think you're listening.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I cannot fly to day.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Oh yeah, that sounds like a problem, but we can't
check you into two flights at the same time. So
finally then they send me to the Internet department. I'm like,
you guys are missing this. This has nothing to do
with your ACS technical This has to do with the
fact that you got me on a plane that's not
going anywhere. Do you want me to go Just sit
in that plane until tomorrow when it flies.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
I'll be fine. It's fine. At least I know I'm
going home.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
So finally they're like, oh, yeah, you know, you can't
the internet person, you can't check into two flights, sir,
It's just no joke. Sixty minutes later, they email me
a boarding pass for the next day. When I got
to the airport the next day, I was still checked
into a flight that never flew. And I have a
piece of paper, and of course no one knows what
(18:16):
to do with that because they're like, no one's seen
paper at the airport and you know, I don't know
how long.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
So they're like, you own a printer, like you can
print that shit out. Well that's another thing.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Try to get somebody printed out when you don't will
you're not near a printer, like I'm not at home
because right so they're like, oh, just print this out.
I'm like printing out where They're like, well, you could
just use the app to check into the airport, but
I can't check in because I check me so anyway,
I was just like, I'm not on this fucking thing.
I'm never going home. I live here now. I'm going
(18:46):
to be checked into this flight forever. I have a
flight in six months, I won't be able to get
on because I'm still I probably am still checked in
from last week.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
I haven't even gone to look.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I had a customer service dude that hung up on
me the other day. He got so I was like,
I don't think you're allowed to do that, And then
I started recording the call because I was getting real pissed.
I actually like, hope that never sees the light to day.
And he's like, you cannot record me, and I'm like,
you're recording me?
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Yeah, true, true, I can't record. I can't record you,
but you can record me.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I want to hear this.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Oh, we're trying to resolve.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I was trying to like get money back from a
banking app. But it was just like they weren't listening
to me. They weren't compassionate. It was he was. He
had an attitude from the rip, which I don't think
you're supposed to do. Like he was already annoyed when
he picked up, but yeah, yeah, like apparently we're not
allowed to record them, but they can record us.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Interesting, Well, it's like the bumble thing, you know, it's
like you are not you and we will not hear
one more word about it. And that I wish I
still had the emails because they're so aggressive.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
But what if you're wrong?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And I'm like I don't know what to fuck. I mean,
if you don't want me on your app, that's fine,
But the reason you're citing is that I'm an impostor
and I'm not, And how the fuck do you know?
Because you won't talk to me about it, And it's like,
we will not be reopening this case. Do not contact
us again. Our decision is final and correct. But it's
not because dickhead, I am me.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
You can get anyone on the phone who actually works
for the company. I mean, like I hate to be
that guy, but it's like nobody actually knows what's going on.
They just have these like little phrases to try and
calm you down, and they don't call me down. They
make me more mad, like, oh, it must be really
difficult for what you're going through, Like right exactly, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Give and like I don't give a shit. I don't
need your stupid app. There's one hundred other ones and
I don't really even want to be on any of
them anyway. But when you tell me that I am
not me and fuck you, well, then it becomes like no,
hold on a minute, don't talk to me, like speak.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
To me, nice bumble, How can you be so sure.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And by the way, in the meantime, there are ten
people using my image on the app right now, fair
being right, but you won't put me on there, and
I'm the guy mm hmm, So anyway, go ahead and
don't if you ever see me on Bumble, it's definitely
not me because and like we will I discuss this
with you any further. There will be no further responses
from us on this. Okay, Well, I'll just continue to
(21:05):
go live as a fucking fake imposter then of myself.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
That's a compliment though, that they think you're fake.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I guess I don't. I mean, you know, if you
don't want me on your app, that's fine, just say.
I mean, if it was like you said something weird,
I believe that I'd be like that. It probably happened. Yeah,
all right, well so I'll see you next time. But
that's not what they said. They said something else. It's
just how emphatic they are, like, we know what we're doing.
You don't you look like a fucking idiot because you're
(21:31):
telling the guy who it is. And by the way,
you're emailing me on my email account with my name
attached to it. Who else could it be in the meantime,
Fred not really.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
The guy at.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yahoo dot com has an account and he's like scamming
people left and right, and people get all excited thinking
that they match with the guy who listened to on
the radio, or they don't, or they're like disappointed that
they have to match with the guy in the radio.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Either way, mister, how long have you been a fan
of mine?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Except it's not me?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
So so I can tell you one hundred percent bumble
fuck you. And I'm not on there ever, and I'm banned.
I'm actually banned from being myself.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
All right, Great, where do we tell the ladies you're going?
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, I'm not going. I am done.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
You're not going nowhere.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's been paused for a while.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
What's up right on air? Your dms?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, well we.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Don't need to do that, and not my dms, please wide.
I am not Patty Stanger. I am not setting anyone
one up with front because you guys can shoot your
shot with uys. You do that, GIRs, Okay, And if
you go to Keiki Sho'll give you false hope.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
I sure will.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
She will.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, from when I understand Kiky's are the ops over here?
And she tells everybody.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, not everybody, just the ladies I'd like for you.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I think there's would be not just the people who DM.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
And it's very kind of you if you have any
interest in going out with me, and I'm very grateful,
But if you I would love to see, like, in
a wider array, who you guys individually without knowing the
other picks. I would be interested. If there were one
hundred people, I would be curious to see who each
of you would pick for me.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
A thousand let's do it at Darvin this Friday.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
But it can't just be people who show up with
people who DM. Like I mean, if you could have
a cross section of one thousand random single people, I'd
be fascinated to know if any of you would pick
the same person for me, if you didn't know who
the other picked, if you interviewed them like all independently.
I wonder if you guys would would find the same
qualities and sensibilities in the like That would really mean
(23:26):
something to me. Honestly, if there were a thousand random women,
this is never gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
It would take too much time.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Do we do this?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But if all three of you and Jason came back
with the same person. That would definitely mean something to
me because you guys know me better than almost anybody
because you have to fucking stare at me all day.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
But then you'd fall in love with like someone who
wasn't on our list. I just know it, and then
you'd want to go on a date with her because
we didn't pick her or something.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
I don't know, No, maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Do you think your picker is ready to be pick?
What's healthy for you?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I don't know. Okay, I don't know. I'm good as
we're just chilling.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
How do we find a thousand women?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Right, we're just chilling.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
It's easy.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
We put it out there our.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Social No, Nope, we're not.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
No, we interview them on zoom.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
We're not We're not going to Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
So this is a thanks for listening to tangent and
we're in a lot of places, by the way, if
you want to catch up on the show, YouTube, Facebook,
TikTok all all the different places. Of course, the iHeart
app in the highlights tabs search for the Fred Show.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Thank you for listening.
