5/12/2026-Full Show:Parents Stop Forcing Kids To Share!

What would you do if you found out a coworker was lying about something this serious and using it to get out of work? In this jaw‑dropping Dirty Little Secret, a listener confesses something that technically isn’t her business… but feels impossible to ignore. She explains that a coworker has been calling out frequently, showing up late, and leaving early, and management has been cutting her slack because they believe she’s dealing with morning sickness from pregnancy. Here’s the problem:
The coworker later admitted she’s not pregnant at all. She casually laughed it off, saying she told the boss she was pregnant because “nobody questions a pregnant woman.” Now the caller is stuck with a moral dilemma that’s keeping her up at night.
The daughter‑in‑law, who creates stylized paintings as a side gig, gifted her a piece meant to reflect the family’s love for the beach. While the mother‑in‑law thanked her politely, she never hung the painting and eventually stored it in the garage. When the daughter‑in‑law discovered it during a visit and insisted on finding it a place in the house, the situation escalated  ending with a blunt confession that leaves feelings hurt and tensions high.Is teaching kids to share outdated  or more important than ever? Today’s Hot Take sparks a major parenting debate after a mom goes viral for saying she never forces her kids to share. Her philosophy?
If her child brings a toy somewhere, they don’t owe anyone else a turn. “You should’ve brought your own,” she tells other kids  arguing that sharing shouldn’t be mandatory and that kids shouldn’t be taught to please others at their own expense.

And I'm just looking at these kids, like.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Do kids just look older? These days?

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Were kids talented when we were kids, because these kids
were doing Broadway musical things, and I'm like, you you
could literally be on Broadway. I have no idea you're
a senior, maybe you're a freshman.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I will say this school much looked much more into
their choir than.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, I mean, this was a serious program. But these
kids are incredibly.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Good, very good.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah. I mean I think the kids were talented back
in our day. Yeah, but they definitely don't look the same.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Yeah, not at all.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I don't know what you got up there.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I thought, is that a teacher.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Look older? I saw a kid actually I was playing
basketball with yesterday at the rec center who was in
high school and about to graduate. And when we were talking,
I was like, oh, you're about to graduate college. Because
I'm thinking to myself, this guy's got.

Speaker 5 (02:54):
A full beard.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
In high school, I couldn't grow a full beard and
he's like, no, I'm graduating high school.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
And I was like, what, wow, you like high school
was huge.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, whatever Candice wants. Producer poo is here. What's up Hill?

Speaker 7 (03:23):
Yesterday I had a full blown panic attack. Okay, so
I'm driving my sister's car. I go to Sam's do
the little curve side pickup and as I'm getting gas,
I look and her windshield has a crack in it
and I'm like I didn't see that there before.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So I'm like, oh man, so I'm like dreading.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
I get back to her house and I was like, hey,
just let me know how much it is your windshield
got you know, it has a cracking, and she was
like another one.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Now go wait you know about this and she goes yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:54):
I was like, girl, because I hate driving other people's
cars anyway, because I feel like I'm a red.

Speaker 5 (04:00):
You love doing that?

Speaker 1 (04:01):
No, not really.

Speaker 7 (04:02):
I always like I'm on guard because I'm pandied, like
somebody's gonna hit me here, something's gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
But she is a car. Huh, where's your car? My
car is at the apartment.

Speaker 7 (04:11):
But when you do the curb side you have to
you know, it goes off your license plate and all
that stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
So I don't know that. Oh yeah on Sam's. Yeah,
they just pull in a spot. Yeah, you pull in
and it went to that spot.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
It goes to her car exactly, Wow, the license plate.
But yeah, she came out, she goes. No that that
happened at my school. They're doing construction in the rocket.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
If you're driving somebody else's car and the windshield that
gets cracked, are you responsible for it?

Speaker 8 (04:36):
Right?

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Because it's not really your fault.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
There's just bad timing, right, It's just a bad situation.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
You really avoid those. I've never had one until last year.
We have one on my husband's car.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
My dad has one on his car. I don't know
what's going on.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
There's anything I've ever wanted to take to Congress or
I don't know, pass some billy. It's that I've had
four cracked wh Yes you have last year? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Year? What now? I'm not kidding you.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
And almost all of them came from one thing, a
truck with rocks that say stay five hundred whatever yards back,
and I'm back so far, I'm not even in the
same lane. And they're like, not responsible, No, you are responsible.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
It gets me so angry. And you try to track
these trucks down. They don't have phone numbers. They don't
want to take responsibility. Yeah, but it's like rocks are
flying out of your car, out of your truck, bouncing
on the highway way past five hundred yards exactly. Wait,
we're driving fast. It's seventy miles an hour. Four crack windshields.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Geez, yeah, so bad right now? Is all the construction
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
Eric pointed out to be a truck without mud flaps
the other day.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
It was like, stay away from.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
One of those. That's why it's illegal to not have
mudflaps on cars that are lifted and trucks that are lifted,
because rocks just fly up and hit people. And then
it's like, these windshields are getting so expensive.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Yeah, it's not your fault, poop.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yah, I don't get out your fault. I don't think
you would have paid though at the same time. Oh
my sister, Yeah, I don't I'm gonna pay. You are
gonna pay? Yeah, yeah, she watches my kids. So I
do whatever Morgan says before.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
It spreads, because my brother fixed mine before it spread.

Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
Oh I didn't even know you could do that.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Really Yeah, they like fill it in or do whatever.
So I'm like heat gun and some I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Know said they're coming over and putting some resin or whatever.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
They're gonna come to. John know what I did.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I have a phone holder that attaches to the windshield.
I put it over that on the inside so I
couldn't see it. Because I feel like we're good for now.
I can't see it. It's nothing's wrong, right, classic Billie?
Move right there, morning be alling a kid? Can a

Speaker 4 (10:22):
Well, I hate it.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I hate that you're always right. Yeah you are, You're
right right now. No, but that's fake story. We did
try back in the day to get Pooh to hide
in NIKEA. It didn't go well. I think it's because
Pooh's not that hideable. I'm not He's not very He's

(10:43):
like he was the kid who is probably the worst
at hide and seek, you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
He just doesn't hide.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Well.

Speaker 5 (10:49):
I don't know what it is about him. He's loud.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
We see you behind the curtains, we see yes, Like
I'm like, I remember we're doing the back of the Day.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I was like, hey, go hide in one of the bays,
and he's like, okay, doll and then he goes and
then I'm like, oh oh man, and I'm like what
it was ten minutes and he already got busted.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
And what was your excuse when they're like, sir, we're closed.

Speaker 5 (11:12):
Oh he told them.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah. I just told him. We're on the radio seeing
if I can stay the night here.

Speaker 9 (11:18):
Yeah I didn't.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
I'm like, no, you can't do that. So we didn't
even make it. One day geez, one day in there
either way. Yeah, but he didn't I tried to get
him to go up to the second story of the shelves,
but he couldn't get up there. Well, no, they're really high,
they are, Candice, They're not that high.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
They are, and they sell.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Letters I like kiya okay ladder. So he tried to
hide behind one of the like first row things by
the cashier, by the billy boxes.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
That's a good shelf, all right.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Utah parents arrested after locking their eleven year old out
to teach him how to be homeless. This happened, yet
they were arrested. They were basically saying that they left
this eleven year old kid in an unh unheeded garage
is punishment, telling officers they were teaching the child how
to figure things out on their own. Alicia and Robert
McIntosh both face aggravated child abuse and they're being held

(12:12):
without bail. Police first got involved when the neighbors said,
I don't know what's going on over there, but I
haven't seen the kids, so they did welfare check and
they officers found the child in the garage, crawling out
from under a truck bed cover with a thin blanket
and a bucket with a trash bag liner. And a
toilet seat, standing in standing in for a bathroom.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Oh wow, I.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Mean sometimes you got to do that with kids. No,
you don't, you don't want to build resilience.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Well we could do it some other way.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
Okay, fine, all right, Well they're in jail either way.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
All right. Another story. This is just kind of a
crazy story.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
It's a seventy three year old veteran facing ten years
in prison after faking blindness for almost a decade. Yeah,
I guess he collected over almost three hundred thousand dollars
in VA benefits and because of this disability, Jerry Smith
pleaded guilty to falsely claim and he was blind to
receive disability payments. That investigators thought something was off, so

(13:11):
they went to look because you could just you know,
they investigate stuff like this.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Are you ready to see what they found out.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
He would come into the office with a stick, you know,
a visual aid stick.

Speaker 5 (13:21):
Or whatever they're called.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Sorry if I'm saying that wrong, but you know he
would come in he would be one hundred percent blind.
They found him at a gun range as a fire instructor. No,
wait a minute, First of all, I saw him driving there.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
They're like, okay, math doesn't math.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Then they said, wait a minute, you're teaching firearms. Then
he was like, but I'm teaching it for the blind.
What But they didn't believe that.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
Okay, so there you go. Try.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Good try, Jerry, Good Try. It's like a third story
we've heard from someone trying to fake being blind.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
My favorite was the guy who pretended he was mute
because for ten years so he could avoid small talk.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Yeah, good morning.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
It's Baible a kid Candice Loan pants producer Pooh. Now
I'm big on this, and I know Pooh thinks it's ridiculous,
but I'm huge and I do truly think that back
in the day, I manifested this job.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
Okay, and I'm a big believer in manifestation.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
I think I manifested this job too.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Yeah you say that, Yeah, No, I really do think that.
Even before this job, like my entire career. When I
was fifteen, I read this book about manifesting things, and
I truly think it worked. I started manifesting stuff and
look at Pooh's smiling. I'm just listening to it, and
I truly think that you can do this with certain techniques. Now,

(14:53):
this new thing came out though, that tells you what
exactly you need to do if you want to manifest
something in your life.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Okay, and I mean aside from my career path and whatever.
I bought a laptop when I didn't have work, and
I was like, I'm gonna manifest work through this laptop.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
What we did, yeah, and then we got this job.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yeah okay.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
See, so yeah, I believe that, yeah, because one of
the things they tell you to do when you manifest
something is to pretend that you're already doing it.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Yeah, to just wake up and do it even if
you're not doing it. Pretend.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
So when I was fifteen and I knew I wanted
to do this for a living, and I knew I
wanted my own radio show and I wanted to DJ
and all that stuff, I just started doing it. Like,
I just started pretending that I was doing it. Oh yeah,
same even if I wasn't. I was like practicing and
doing things, and I just that's what I did. You
couldn't tell me any different, right.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
I anchored the news behind my coffee table, did the
radio show that only my brother could hear in the
next room.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
One hundred percent same thing. And I think it worked
because by the time I was eighteen, I was on
the air wow and had a show and whatnot, right,
and I've been doing it ever since. So I do
think it works. Now, this stuff, this set is a
little bit new to me. I didn't do all this.
They're saying, if you want to manifest stuff, that this
is what you got to do. Should we figure it out?
I need something like, I don't know, call me music
or something we need to manifest. I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Is this manifesting music?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's fine, it's going to have to work.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
Is this manifesting music? Manifest that? Let me just go
this right now.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
So here's some of the things they say you can
do if you want to manifest something in your life.
You have to visualize it, which we all kind of
know that visualize it. You have to write gratitude gratitude
notes in a journal, which I believe in journally and
I do that.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
This is where it gets a little weird.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
They say, burn a bay leaf as you manifest, releasing
any limiting beliefs or tensions you may have.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
So we got to get some bay leaves.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Sage on there too. That's the that's the cleanse bad spirits.
Bayleaf not to release any limiting beliefs. Okay, I like this, Like,
what what is something we could manifest today? Start manifesting.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
I mean to manifest some breakfast tacos right now.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Okay, all right, keep that in mind. Then as we
do this okay, and we'll see if they show up
by ten am, if they say use the scripting method
by writing down the call or writing down basically what
you want to happen. Okay, so script you know exactly
this is where how it's gonna go down. We're gonna
get the breakfast tacos. Someone's gonna show up in the lobby. Yeah,

(17:29):
you know this is and then I'm gonna eat it.
I'm gonna put hot sauce off. You want to get
very detailed on it. Then it says, write down what
you want to happen and place it under a candle.
We have a candle. No, we don't have any candles here.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Wow, there goes our I have a birthday candle.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Perfect, we'll do that. It says, do the three by
thirty three ritual. Have you ever done this?

Speaker 3 (17:48):
What's that?

Speaker 1 (17:49):
So you basically write an affirmation that aligns with what
you want thirty three times for three straight days.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
WHOA, so you write it down?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
I want breakfast soccos thirty three times for three straight days. Yeah,
maybe we picked the wrong thing. Yeah. It also says
shift out of fear with positive self touch.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
What I don't think we can do that in public.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Then it says the last thing you should do, and
this is where I got really confused, take a charged bath,
a charged bath, or a or enoughing shower?

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Nothing shower?

Speaker 1 (18:29):
What it's a charge bath? This subcanis? Okay, what's a
charge back? It's gotta be like crystals or something.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, I would that's what I would assume. Okay, energy
infused soak, salt and crystals.

Speaker 5 (18:41):
We gotta go to world springs.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Oh yeah, that's.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
What we do. You don't believe in this pool? No,
not talking about EPSOM salt.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
No, I'm talking about crystals and you know, spiritual stuff.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
So you're saying I can manifest having a sugar maml.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah probably, you know I believe it.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
And just write it down thirty three times in the
next three days, I'm gonna have sugar momo.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
You did it wrong. You're already messed it up. You
got to write it down for three straight days thirty
three times. Thro got thirty three by thirty three and
then I'll have a sugar mom and believe you got.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
To take your nothing shower?

Speaker 5 (19:10):
Did you take a enoughing shower?

Speaker 6 (19:11):
No?

Speaker 5 (19:12):
I just take a regular shower of what's enoughing shower?

Speaker 4 (19:14):
I don't like this.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
You stand under the hot water with no soap, shampoo.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
Or like, you know, scrubbing.

Speaker 5 (19:19):
Well, that's what he does anywhere.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
It's Texas Top Stories on the tents with Billy the Kid.

Speaker 8 (19:26):
In the morning only on the new Mixed one or
two point nine.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
We got a dirty little secret coming up at seven thirty.
Get ready for that. Texas Top Stories right now, Canni
slow pess what is going on?

Speaker 8 (19:35):
Well?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
A new report says Texas public schools are seeing the
first non pandemic enrollment decline in about forty years. So
this is a historic drop of over seventy six one
thousand students. This report says it represents a one point
four percent decrease from last year, but that there were
a few places that had growth at Dallas and Richardson
were on that list, but four or saw a notable decline,

(19:58):
with the biggest drop come from elementary schools. They say,
but this drop is driven by lower birth rates and
more people going to alternative education options like private schools
or homeschooling. But yeah, that's kind of a historic announcement
as far as you know, education in Texas goes.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, people aren't having kids. Well guess what, it's expensive.

Speaker 4 (20:17):
It is expensive. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
So while the high schools have a lot of plenty
of kids, elementary schools are just slowly declining. Yeah, which
it makes sense. It's all catching up to us from
the pandemic. And you know, just how yeah, like you said,
expensive things are.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, I mean yet, right, you got to motivate some
countries need to motivate people to have kids. Yeah, I
love countries have to limit them for kids.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
Oh no, people want want people have more kids here.
But it's tough. It's really tough.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Every day I think I see in my feed some
story about homeschooling and how cool it is.

Speaker 4 (20:46):
And it makes you wonder.

Speaker 3 (20:48):
But I love our teachers in our school that my
son goes to so much, so I can't imagine you know,
leaving that. But yeah, teacher appreciation was last week.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
Yeah, well, appreciate your teachers schools almost I can't believe
it's almost overlay.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
I know.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Next Thursdays our last day.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yeah. Yeah, a lot of school districts, it's the same thing,
and they need that little break though, for sure.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
For sure.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Well, guys, the Cowboys announced their season opener yesterday. They're
going to take on the New York Giants in New
York on September thirteenth. They also revealed who they're going
to play on Thanksgiving Day, and that will be the Eagles.

Speaker 9 (21:20):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
So yeah, I think the NFL is going to release
the full schedule coming up on Thursday, but this is
just a little teaser, which these are the two big
games we really care about at this point.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Trying to get excited, but I don't for whatever reason,
after this last season. Yeah, I feel like I lost
a little like I don't know, I'm always a Cowboys fan,
but I'm just like, can we But there's a lot
of things to be excited about this season. Yeah, we
did some good draft picks.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
We did Okay, we did, I can't remember.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I think we're in a good place. And you know
what I'm saying, let me snap out of it. I'm sorry.
This is our year. It is our year.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
I mean, it's kind of like when you're pregnant, you
forget like how rough it is, and then you're like,
I guess I'll do it again.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
You know this is our year? Yeah, real quick, guys.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
A TV show based on the New York Times game
Wordle is coming. This is going to be a half
hour long cash prize show co produced by The New
York Times and Jimmy Fallon. So this is the game
that was super popular online. Were you guys into it?
I think it came out in like twenty twenty one.
Everyone was going to New York Times dot com to.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Play this game.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
I know what you're time. I think my mom plays it.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Okay, So you basically get six chances to guess a
five letter word.

Speaker 4 (22:31):
Eric and I used to play this I Guess when
we were in lockdown or whatever you call it.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Yeah, and he would beat me every time and I'd
just be so over it. Maybe it's just like our
friend group when we lived in California that everyone was
playing this game.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
You probably played it.

Speaker 5 (22:46):
Turns it's crazy over there.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Yeah played word No No, Oh my gosh. This was
like all the rage that's you know it's coming.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
It's been in the works.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
This TV show for two and a half years and
Savannah got three just to now she's actually gonna host it.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Oh, some people are actually hating on her for this.
Why And I thought that was ridiculous. Some people are like,
you know, I mean, you're worried about your career right
now when you can't find your mother? What is going on?
What's And I'm like, you know, this is sad because
you can't stop living your life, right.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
They don't expect one person to be searching the earth,
you know, twenty four to seven. At some point, you know,
you have to let the professionals, you know, do their job.

Speaker 5 (23:28):
What is she supposed to not live anymore?

Speaker 1 (23:30):
She's supposed to. But you see the comments online of
people going, you're worried about this. I can't believe you're
worried about that, be worried about your mom?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Well, I mean this was supposed to start filming back
in March, but they pushed it obviously because you know,
of the situation with her mom, which we have no
updates on. It's just sad for her. But you know,
work is also a distraction and you have to pay
your bills, right.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
I saw the other day though, that one of the
sheriffs at the wherever department they're at said that they
get me. They were very close to having some details,
more tells and some answers about her disappearance, and I thought, well,
then do it. Yeah, I don't think they're closer though, Yeah,
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:08):
I'll keep you posted for sure, though, you guys get
on wordle. Though it's fun, it's challenging.

Speaker 1 (24:12):
I'm not good at that kind of stuff. My eighty
D kicks in and I'm just like, wait, what was
I doing?

Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:17):
For sure, all right, I'm Kanda Slopez. Those are your
Texas top stories.

Speaker 8 (24:21):
Get it off your chest to promise you'll feel better.

Speaker 6 (24:24):
Welcome to the Dirty Little Secret.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
The sun is out, it's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's could be like eighty three today a perfect day,
it's not too bad. And then tomorrow high around ninety.
They're saying it's not going to rain now until like
next Monday. So we're good because the weekend at first
look bad, but it looks like it's gonna be okay.
It's Mix one on two point nine a Bility kid
Candislow Pass producer Pooh, it is Tuesday. We got money
coming up at eight forty If you want that one
thousand dollars eight forty your first shot? And when then

(24:48):
we do it on the forties every hour. Now, if
you have a secret, okay, this is what we do,
you can confess to us. It's a non judgment zone
eight three three seven eight seven, one oh two nine.
It doesn't matter what it is. And you have one.
What's up? Oh?

Speaker 8 (25:03):
Man?

Speaker 9 (25:03):
I feel bad even calling because technically this was not
my business, but it is bothering me.

Speaker 10 (25:10):
So much I cannot stop thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
What what's up?

Speaker 9 (25:14):
I have this coworker and we're really friendly at work,
but she acts like we're best friends, which we are
absolutely not.

Speaker 10 (25:20):
And lately she's.

Speaker 9 (25:22):
Been like calling out of work a ton, showing up late,
leaving early, all that stuff. Then one day I overheard
my boss saying something about how she's trying to like
be understanding because my coworker is dealing with morning sickness,
and I'm like, wait, what, Oh, she's pregnant.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (25:42):
Well, later that day she like pulls me aside and
tells me, and she's laughing that she's not actually pregnant.

Speaker 10 (25:52):
You guys, what oh come, She's not pregnant. She's not.

Speaker 9 (25:57):
She just told our boss that she was because she
needed an excuse for always being late.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
Oh yeah, I hate this so much.

Speaker 9 (26:06):
I hate it too, She like she just like figured,
nobody questions a pregnant woman, that's.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
All right, what's gonna happen in nine months or you know,
seven months? Well, I don't know, you know, however long.
She's like, obviously there's no good.

Speaker 10 (26:19):
Energy to keep this going exactly.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I was speechless.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
Yeah, I don't blame you. I would not like this either.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
So I'm sick. One thing, I had a death in
the family. People use that, but I'm pregnant.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I know.

Speaker 9 (26:32):
It gross is even more because like people have, you know,
struggle for years to have babies, they like women lose babies,
And she's just like using it as a fake sick
day pass. Like just it's so disgusting. It made me
look at her completely differently.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, I would too, This would make me look at
somebody differently.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
I'd be like, this is I'd almost have to say something.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
But like you said, I know it's not technically your business,
but at the same time, I just it's gross to
lie about. Yeah, it's so gross awful.

Speaker 9 (27:02):
And like you were saying, like she hasn't thought it through,
Like how do you end a freake pregnancy?

Speaker 5 (27:07):
You know, that's it.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
She's unfortunately probably going to say that fake the end
of the pregnant, fake the.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
End of it too, and you know that's not going
to be grow Okay.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
She'll probably take a couple of days off for that too.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
That now, that would enrage Yeah, that wouldn't rage horrible.
That's I don't even want to think about that. I
don't like that at all.

Speaker 9 (27:24):
So I know, so like my dilemma is like I
want to part of me wants to tell my boss
because it's so gross. But then I'm like, do I
really want to get involved in this like back storm?

Speaker 5 (27:34):
I don't know, do you?

Speaker 1 (27:35):
That's a good question, Like does this something like I'm
trying to think, like we have to watch these videos
sometimes at work, Like if somebody is doing something compliance, right,
would you?

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Compliance? Would you say something, see something, say something?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
But in this case, unless her like work is affecting
the team or tanking the company or like our goals together,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Know if you could say anything.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Technically she is stealing company time and money though if
she's lying about But then again, how do you do.
I don't know if if she told you this, if
she just told you this, it could be just hearsay,
you know.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, if you're the only one she told, then she's
gonna know you're the one that rated her out.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't know if I would say anything. I think
this kind of karma comes full circle on its own.

Speaker 10 (28:18):
Yeah, I'm a great I don't know.

Speaker 7 (28:20):
You know, if you tell her that they got to
get HR involved the whole big well, that's who you
would tell, is HR?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
I guess right, Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't
tell anything. I avoid HR at all costs. Even when
I see him in the hallway, I keep my head down.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Like they won't notice me.

Speaker 10 (28:41):
Right, Yeah, I think I might stay out of it.

Speaker 9 (28:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you got to deal
with that. That is that is awful, and I would yeah,
I wouldn't. It feels icky. I wouldn't want to be
around it at all. But she'll get hers, I don't know.
Some way, somehow this stuff comes around. I truly believe that.
And you know it won't be It won't be good
for her.

Speaker 10 (28:59):
No, it is not going to be good.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, not at all hold on or maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Maybe you do say something.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, I don't know how you say it, but maybe
this is one thing to me is just so when
people lie about being pregnant, Yeah, that's low, it's low.
Do you say something. I wonder how many people would
say so. I know, Cannus, you probably wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
No, I'd let it play out because I know she's
got hers coming.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I know Pooh wouldn't seen way worse.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
In the workplace, I just trying to stay out of
my mom.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
But as anybody ever, have you ever because I've never
snitched on anybody at work, I don't think I've ever
went to the boss and said, hey, just to let
you know they're doing this. I don't think one time
in my life at any job, I've ever had no same.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
No, I couldn't really.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Yeah, now that surprises me.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
I mean unless it was something like, you know, they're
breaking the law. It's like really hurting someone like this
woman's not necessarily hurting anybody, right but herself in the end.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I see, out of all three of us, I
think there would be you would definitely be the snitchest.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
I stay out of.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
People's business, though. You know, I don't.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
I am too nervous to get involved in people's drama,
so do I Yeah, I mean what.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Is that supposed to mean? I don't stay out of
people's business.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
You kind of do, but but you're aware.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, Oh no, I'm an instigator.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Yeah, he loves that's a good point.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, missus feeler's out there. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
I like stirring the pot where people confess on themselves.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Yeah, yeah, that is true.

Speaker 6 (30:31):
He's doing for Candace Court. It gets settled here with
Billy the Kid in the Morning Rise.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
For the Honible Judge Candace Lopez.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Here she is the mesquite Mama, seat of the Kale Queen,
the Brussels Sprouts Battie. Oh yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (30:47):
Like that.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
She's all organic and here she is on the bench.
It makes one or two point nine. If you got
something you want Candas to solve at Candace on Air,
at Candace on Air on Instagram, you hit her up
and this is a good one.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Are you ready, Candace?

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yep.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
So it's a mother in law daughter in law drama.
My daughter in.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
Law has been married to my son for a few
years and she has a side gig of making art.
She gives a lot of it away.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
I'm not a huge fan of her art style.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
I am much more of a nature person than someone
who wants scenes with people. Also, when she paints people,
they are stylized. My daughter in law gave me a
painting of someone's sitting on the beach because she knows
we like the beach. I don't like it.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
The women.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
The women in the painting look off. Their legs are
too long, and she's too curvy. I know it's her
style of painting, but I just don't like it. I'm sorry.
At the time I got the gift, I thanked her
for it, and I thought that'd be the end of it.
I put the painting in the garage and I forgot
about it. I bought an ocean painting for the living
room of our new house. My daughter in law visited

(31:50):
the other day because she wanted to pick up some
Memorial Day decorations. Oh who has those? We were in
the garage and she saw her painting there.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
No.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
She was surprised and asked why it wasn't in the house.
I told her I didn't have a spot to put it.
She kept pressing me, and I mentioned I got a
new painting for our living room. I told her again
that I don't have a spot for it. She then
picked up the painting and said she would help me
find a spot.

Speaker 6 (32:15):
So that.

Speaker 5 (32:19):
Finally I told her no.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
She asked why not, and I decided, you know what,
I just got to be honest and I said, I
am not a fan of your art work.

Speaker 8 (32:25):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
She got quiet after that, and I gave her her decorations.
She left. I got a call from my son and
he was mad. He told me I needed to apologize
and hang up her painting. That's his wife and she's
been crying and it took her hours and hours to
make it.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
I told her.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
I told him I'm not hanging it up, and that
resulted in argument. I'm sorry, but I feel like she
is in the wrong. Stop being so pushy about your art.

Speaker 5 (32:56):
Am I crazy?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Here? Hanna Lopez, Welcome to Canis Courts. And I like
this one because I do a lot of art, yeah,
especially lately.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
And I mean I give it away too.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
You give me an r piece yesterday I did.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
It was so.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Thoughtful and you're definitely not gonna hang it out.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
No, I am for sure.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I'm kidding.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
It's fine.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, but I'm glad you like it. Yeah, either way,
what do you think about this?

Speaker 3 (33:16):
I just don't think it's fair to press her on
this and let me help you find a spot for it.

Speaker 4 (33:21):
That's a little pushy.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Like, I get it your feelings might be hurt, but
like art is a risk, right, you have to create
an emotional response from the person who's receiving it or
looking at it. And that clearly didn't happen here.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
It didn't. But I mean, at the end of the day,
I don't think this is about art. Yeah, I think
mother in law for whatever reason, just doesn't like daughter
in law. I don't think it has anything to do
with the art. Yet you can tell by the way
she's speaking she just doesn't like Like, if you look
at somebody's art, I might not be really into it,
but I can respect it.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yeah, right for sure.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
The way she's just talking about the art, it sounds
like she's just diminishing it, demeaning it, which leads me
to believe there's more to it than just this piece
of art.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
Okay, I mean, yeah, saying that the people look off.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
Yeah, but it's it's her house. Yeah, can't be expecting
prime real estate in my house.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
You know, it's funny that you're not you're not taking
disagree with that. Yeah, I know, I know. But here's
my thoughts is, if you really truly love someone, you
might hang it up. You might not do it in
the living room. I might not do that in our
new house. To me, I wouldn't do the living room,
I'll be honest, right. But to me, the compromise might
be like the back hallway Okay, okay, you know, and

(34:33):
I hang it up there, and I'm like, hey, this
looks so good here, and i'd really, I don't know,
I have a big heart. You two are ruthless. I'd
probably hang it up in a guest bedroom or something.
I'd be like, look it works there.

Speaker 5 (34:44):
Who cares.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah, it's my daughter and lost my son. I don't
want to hurt her feelings. I'd probably do it. I
gotta be honest. I do it, Yeah, because I like
art too, and I like I know people put a
lot into it.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
I can see me just putting it somewhere just because
in the new house.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Like you, you're a dreaming about your new house for
so long.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
And this is gonna go there, and that's gonna go
there aesthetic, like, it's all clean and exactly how we
want it to have people with long legs on the.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Beach, Yeah, and a curvy Let me ask you this second.
Do you put you know, Enzo's Do you put like
kids artwork on your fridge? Yes?

Speaker 4 (35:19):
I have Enzo's artwork framed.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
I'm actually working on a big modgepodge project of all
of his art.

Speaker 5 (35:25):
Let me ask you this, Do you care about the aesthetic?

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (35:28):
Yeah, actually I do.

Speaker 3 (35:30):
But I've figured out how to take some of his
paintings and frame them like in a gallery wall where.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
They look when you're making the best out of it.
But like when my son was a kid, he's fifteen now,
he used to draw and put pictures on the fridge, right,
and they were awful.

Speaker 5 (35:44):
Now you know what, Why did his hair? Why did
his fire.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Truck look like a hairy foot?

Speaker 3 (35:50):
I have Enzo's first painting that he ever did and
brought home from preschool. And it's literally just pink paint
on a thing and that's it and it just scribbles.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
And I put it in a frame.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
And I'm like, that was his first art that he
brought home.

Speaker 4 (36:03):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
It has meaning behind yeah, you got a seed for
the meaning and not just the curvy off legs and
weird looking women.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
Right, that's my point.

Speaker 4 (36:11):
But it doesn't matter a stylis as she says.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
I get people art all the time, Yeah, and I
but I don't. I will say this, I don't expect
anything out of it.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
See exactly like I got into art when we lived
up in Vancouver, when I wasn't working. I took a
painting class and all this stuff, and I got really
into it. And my mother in law came over and
saw my first painting and.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Like she wanted it.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
But it's still not done. I didn't finish it, and
I don't want to give it to her when it's
not done.

Speaker 5 (36:39):
Did you give it to her?

Speaker 3 (36:40):
Not yet, it's not it's still not done.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Ye.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
Yeah, it's just been in that closet with my art
supplies because I just haven't had time or like desire
to do it lately.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
But she says, you're tying no worries. I mean I
have artwork from Billy hanging up, and then I have
We wouldn't know because we've never been to your apartment.
Picture that Enzo what drew me and I put it
on my frigerator. Wait a minute, that's right. What artwork
did I give you the Marilyn Moreau you did?

Speaker 5 (37:07):
I did?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, I have your artwork in my folder that you
draw when I give you a drawing challenge.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
And your folder.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
That's like just fun another fridge studio, Sketchy and Lopez.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
We have a verdict.

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Look, I think this daughter laws guilty of being a masterpiece. Mandy.
If it's a masterpiece of you, it might not be
a masterpiece of else. And that's just the risk you
take when you're an artist. Okay, you'll find a home
for your art because someone out there will love the
stylized people on the beach. Okay, she is guilty of masterpiece, Mandy.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
Tough Stories on the Tents with Billy the Kid in
the morning.

Speaker 8 (37:48):
Only on the new mixed one or two point n
sing to.

Speaker 1 (37:51):

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Thank you. We got money coming up eight forty.

about now, okay, get your money eight to forty your
first shot to win that we do have a forties
all day Canni Slowpez.

Speaker 5 (38:11):
What is going on?

Speaker 3 (38:11):
Well, the Red Oak City Council approved a new eight
hundred acre data center last night. This meeting went until
almost midnight after public comment from residents finally finished up.
Multiple people said they only found out about this proposal
within the last two weeks, after some property owners were
approached about selling their land. Others say they found out

(38:31):
through Facebook posts. But inside this meeting, residents voiced their
concerns over transparency, noise, traffic, air pollution, water usage. Say,
you know, our property values have declined rapidly since the
other five data centers and Red Oak opened, and there's
you know, some of them are still in development, but
they already have Google there.

Speaker 8 (38:52):
You know.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
They're saying this project would have a.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
Closed loop cooling system that uses a lot less water
and wouldn't connect to the public water system. But I
just feel so bad for people who have lived there
for decades, you know, and are just like these data
centers popping up all around us and the values of
their homes going down, and the light pollution, which I
didn't realize was a real thing until I saw some
woman who was complaining that because she lives close to

(39:15):
a data center.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Yeah, the lights are so bright that I mean you,
she couldn't even she couldn't even sleep, she said, because
it was so bad. She would walk outside and it
felt like daylight. Right, and then her water pressure was
real low because he was taking up so much of
the water.

Speaker 5 (39:30):
She didn't even take a shower. It was really weird.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Yeah, that's unfortunate.

Speaker 3 (39:33):
Yeah, I mean they also say, you know, infrastructure improvements
would help fire protection, which could reduce insurance costs. But
add that to the you know, low frequency hum and
you know, the property values and all the things. I
just I would hate to have that pop up.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Well, Cannis doesn't like that kind of stuff.

Speaker 5 (39:48):
You think.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
It's like you're very organic. Yeah, when it comes to everything,
everything you eat, everything you put on your scream.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Mean I tried, which is good to be low talks.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yeah, yeah, you.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
She said, crunchy little crunchy.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
What does that mean.

Speaker 3 (40:02):
Well, it's just like, you know, you're into organic things, and.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Like that's what they call themselves, crunchy crunchy moms.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Yeah, I'm a crunchy mom. Yeah, I'm a soggy dad.

Speaker 3 (40:14):
Guys, three dozen pilots were hired to basically repo jets,
at least by Spirit Airlines.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
I know, I saw this story.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
This story is awesome.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
Yeah. This company who does this is called Nomadic Aviation Groups.
So some of these pilots once worked for Spirit, so
they know these planes pretty well.

Speaker 4 (40:31):
But they've been going.

Speaker 3 (40:32):
To airports where Spirit was operating, like Charlotte, Houston and Columbus, Ohio,
because you know, some of these planes are still parked
at the gates from their last flights.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
They got on them, drinks.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
On them, they got everything on them, ready to go
for a flight, but they just didn't take off because
Spirit just closed the doors. Yeah, even if you were
at the just think about that. You're at the gate
and they're like, yeah, we're out of business. By the way,
see you tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
I can't even see you never.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah, see you never. You're just like, well, what do
I do? Don't care?

Speaker 5 (40:58):
Bye?

Speaker 4 (41:00):
It's awful.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Side note American Airlines saying they expect a record breaking
summer travel season, even with fuel prices on the rise.
They say they think they'll have over seventy five million customers,
beating their previous summer travel record from twenty nineteen. And
I thought everyone was sitting out this summer me too,
But no, the most travel day is expected to be Friday,
May twenty.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Second, leading up to Memorial Day. Yeah, so just a
heads up.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Oh that's a hot take.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
Let us know what you think.

Speaker 8 (41:27):
Here's today's hot.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
Take mixed one or two point nine A bill at
a kid Canislopez, producer Pooh Hot take of the day.
I saw this, I thought this is very interesting because
you know, you can get into parenting debates all day.
Oh yeah, but I feel like things have definitely changed
since we were kids.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
I mean as an elder millennial.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
Yeah, and Pooh you as a boomer, Oh god, your
parenting might have been a little bit different back in
the day. But you know, and I don't like to
parent shame or parent judge or whatever, but this woman's
going viral for what she's saying.

Speaker 5 (41:59):
She tells her.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Kids they don't have to do. Are you ready?

Speaker 11 (42:03):
Yeah, listen, I never ever will make my kids share
their stuff that they brought with another child.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
Number one, you should have brought your own. Number two,
that's their toy. They don't have to share with you?

Speaker 1 (42:15):
What should she tells her kids? You don't have to share.
You do not have to share. Stop with the sharing
listen number three.

Speaker 10 (42:25):
You don't have to do something just because somebody asks.

Speaker 11 (42:27):
I think especially for women, that is like really important
to learn. If my kids want to share, yeah, sure,
go along for it.

Speaker 9 (42:34):
Now.

Speaker 3 (42:34):
If you're coming over to our house to play for a.

Speaker 11 (42:36):
Play date, that's very different, right because we're welcoming them
then into our space. Okay, But if we're out and about,
my kid doesn't want to share her doll with your kid,
she doesn't have to.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
I'm so interested when people think about this because too,
I always wonder, you know, we just do things sometimes
because that's what we think we should do, right, you know,
that's what we were told to do. That's what we
just do it. And and I understand her point of saying, well,
we shouldn't just you know, especially with young women, to
them that if they're told to do something, they should
do it. No, But at this age, I know what

(43:09):
she's referring to, right, But it's like two different things
to me.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Yeah, it's hard because I have one child and teaching
him to share, like sometimes we have to share with him,
you know what I mean, like my turn take turns
as parents because he doesn't.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Learn sharing, you know, at home.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
If we don't, you know, he's learning at school. And
I understand the balance of trying to make sure we
don't develop, you know, a people pleaser too, because I
feel like I'm recovering people pleaser and so you know,
I'm trying to not create that in my son, but
also raise him to be a great human being.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
Yeah, with a big heart.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
I don't think I could ever tell my kids don't share. Yeah.
I don't think I would say because she's stilling her kids, no,
don't share to me. I'm like, well, I might see
in certain situations. Yeah, yeah, that's okay, you know, if
you don't want to. But I would be very specific
about it. I don't know if i'd just be like,
don't share, right, you don't have to share, but.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
You should have brought your own.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
That's what I thought. I would tell my kids to
do that.

Speaker 7 (44:06):
But I remember telling my fourteen and thirteen year old
when they were little, like take your own toys to.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
The playground or whatever.

Speaker 7 (44:14):
Yeah, that way they didn't have to be let down.
Because some kids are stingy. Other kids don't it's mine, yeah,
And they don't want to share.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
So it's like, bring your own.

Speaker 5 (44:22):
That's a learning lesson in itself.

Speaker 1 (44:24):
Bring your own toys so you don't have to worry
about that. And if they don't share whatever, you don't
have to share with nobody. You have your own toy
and you ain't crying about it.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
You Andenza would have his monster trucks at the playground
or whatever, and there was a kid with nothing that
was kind of looking at him. I would always say,
ask him if he wants to play with it, give
him a turn, because you're a good mom.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
Yeah, And I think that's what a good mom would do.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
I don't think a good mom would be like, I'm
sorry that kid doesn't have his toys.

Speaker 5 (44:48):
That's tough luck. Don't play with the dirt kid.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
I mean, as an adult, we got to share stuff too,
So how are we going to get ready to share
the road and share the workspace?

Speaker 5 (44:57):
And that's my point.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
And then she's like, well, basically to that kid at
the playground, if you know your kid at a truck
and another kid didn't, and the kid is looking, she
would say, if you don't want to share too.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
Bad, shout you own.

Speaker 5 (45:09):
You should have brought your own, even if the kids crying. Whatever.
My kid doesn't have to share.

Speaker 4 (45:14):
Yeah, I mean they're little.

Speaker 5 (45:16):
It's going on.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Yeah, I mean I think if we teach kindness in
any way, we.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Can't lose, you know. And then as you get older,
you start to dissect it, and then you teach them
things within that. Hey, there's certain things you share, and
there's certain things you don't have to share. Yeah, just
because someone tells you something. But at this age, it's like,
just teach the basics. Yeah, then you can get a
little deeper into it as they get older. Like another
thing they're telling now that you should never tell your kids.

(45:40):
This is another thing they said, practice, practice makes perfect.
You shouldn't They say, never say that to a kid.
I saw apparenting experts say never say that to a
kid because there's no such thing as perfect. Okay, well no,
but there might not be.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
But at the same time, don't.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
Take it so literally, right exactly, it's.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Just if you practice something, you're gonna get good at it.
Right now, we're going to analyze everything in our world
to where we can't say anything, we can't do anything.

Speaker 3 (46:08):
That's why it's so hard to be a parent in
twenty twenty six because everything we.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
Do is wrong.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Yeah, you know, there's two sides to every parenting strategy.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
And I don't know if we're.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Winning or not, but I know I've got a great
human that's seven years old at home, and he treats
people well, he does, and that's the win for me.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
And then that is the correct thing. And every kid's differently.
But you're right, you got a great kid because you're
telling him, if there's a kid without a toy, maybe
should go play with him.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
Yeah, maybe be nice exactly.

Speaker 5 (46:35):
Not get your own toys. This stupid poor little kid.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Oh Good more.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
His top stories on the Tents with Billy the Kid in.

Speaker 8 (46:44):
The Morning only on the New Mix one or two
point nine.

Speaker 1 (46:48):
It was so nice out like eighty three and sunny today,
same thinking tomorrow a little warmer actually tomorrow high around ninety.
And then this week and they're saying it's gonna be
clowny but not much rain. Good originally said it was
gonna rain, but now the rain looks like it's to
hold out till Monday. But nobody's been right about the
weather in the past month. I know, so who knows
cand Slopez what is going on?

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Well, this new report says Texas public schools are seeing
their first non pandemic enrollment decline in.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
About forty years.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
This is a historic drop of over seventy six one
thousand students. The report says this represents a one point
four percent decrease from last year. But there were a
few places that had growth. Dallas and Richardson, we're both.

Speaker 4 (47:26):
On that list, but for Orth saw a notable decline.

Speaker 3 (47:29):
And they're saying that the biggest drop is coming from
elementary schools, so, you know, just lower birth rates, as
you know, a big factor in this. More people are
going for alternative education options like private schools or homeschooling,
and a good percentage they're saying, are you know, from
Hispanic communities, And so this is a big deal, you know,
because this is only the second time we've.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
Seen a drop like this in our history.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Right, So yeah, it's times are changing for sure, and.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
The schools are closing, Like some of the schools I
feel like I never heard of one was kid, I
never heard of a school closing.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
We had the portables outside the school because we didn't
have enough rome for everybody.

Speaker 5 (48:05):
We had trailer. Yeah, trailer is.

Speaker 4 (48:07):
That what it was called.

Speaker 5 (48:08):
I mean in my neighborhood was.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
Portable classroom.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Fancy way of saying the trailers.

Speaker 4 (48:16):
So I don't know, I hated those though, you did, Yeah,
because you had to walk outside.

Speaker 1 (48:21):
Yeah, so it was like in the back and yeah,
they got hot quick.

Speaker 4 (48:27):
And yeah, you couldn't figure out which one was weird.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Your school had a C. Yeah, oh, my school didn't
have a C. Your high school, No, mine. I don't
think my mislementary my middle school. But I grew up
in Michigan.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Yeah, that's true, that makes sense a C. I don't think, Oh,
you didn't need it. I guess we did. Okay, so
it gets hot, but we didn't have it. We didn't
have lost time.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
What'd you write? I mean, what did you read? We didn't.

Speaker 5 (48:53):
That's obvious in my reading level.

Speaker 4 (48:57):
All right.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
The Cowboys announced their season opener yesterday. They'll take on
the New York Giants in New York on September thirteenth.

giving us.

Speaker 1 (49:16):
I got a little slack earlier because I said, I
don't know this year. I'm just I'm kind of defeated,
like I'm going into it like here we go again. Yeah,
and then people are like, come on, you're not a fan.
Of course, I'm a Cowboys fan.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
I mean we always look forward to September. I love
seeing when the Cowboys go to Oxnard.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
It's just a tradition. It's the whole vibe.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
I no candae, but it's where I'm fatigued.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
Yeah already.

announced around the World Cup.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
I know they're saying it's going to get hectic, but
not as hectic as they thought it was going to get. Yeah,
which is a good and a bad thing, because this
is good for the economy. We want it busy, but yeah, traffic.
I don't think we're ready for it. Yeah.

So much I cannot stop thinking about it.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
What what's up?

Speaker 9 (51:19):
I have this coworker and we're really friendly at work,
but she acts like we're best friends, which we are
absolutely not. And lately she's been like calling out of
work a ton, showing up late, leaving early, all that stuff.
Then one day I overheard my boss saying something about
how she's trying to like be understanding because my coworker

(51:39):
is dealing with morning sickness, and I'm like, wait, what,
Oh she's pregnant.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (51:46):
Well, later that day she like pulls me aside and
tells me, and she's laughing that she's not actually pregnant,
you guys.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
What, Oh come not pregnant. She's not.

Speaker 9 (52:01):
She just told our boss that she was because she
needed an excuse for always being late.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Oh yeah, I hate this so much.

Speaker 10 (52:11):
I hate it too. She like she just like figured
nobody questions a pregnant woman.

Speaker 1 (52:16):
That's right, man, what's gonna happen in nine months or
you know, seven months? Well, I don't know, you know,
however long. She's like, obviously there's no good energy to.

Speaker 4 (52:24):
Keep this going exactly.

Speaker 10 (52:26):
I was speechless.

Speaker 5 (52:28):
Yeah, I don't blame you. I would not like this either.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
So I'm sick one thing, I had a death in
the family.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
People use that, but I'm pregnant.

Speaker 9 (52:36):
I know it girls that even more because like people have,
you know, struggle for years to have babies, they like
women lose babies, and she's just like using it as
a fake sick day path like just it's so disgusting.
It made me look at her completely differently.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah I would too, This would make me look at
somebody differently. I'd be like, this is I'd almost have
to say something. But like you said, I know it's
not take think your business. But at the same time,
I just it's gross to lie about. It's so gross awful.

Speaker 9 (53:06):
And like you were saying, like she hasn't thought it through,
like how do you end a fake pregnancy?

Speaker 5 (53:11):
You know, that's it.

Speaker 1 (53:12):
She's unfortunately probably going to say that fake the end
of the pregnant, fake the end of it too, And
you know that's not going to.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
Be grow Okay, she'll probably take a couple of days
off for that too.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
That now that would enrage Yeah, that wouldn't rage hor
That's I don't even want to think about that. I
don't like that at all.

Speaker 9 (53:29):
So I know, so, like my dilemma is like I
want to part of me wants to tell my boss
because it's so gross. But then I'm like, do I
really want to get involved in this like a storm?

Speaker 5 (53:39):
I don't know, do you?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
That's a good question, like does this something like I'm
trying to think, like we have to watch these videos
sometimes of work, Like if somebody is doing something compliance, right,
would you yeah? Compliance, would you say something, see something,
say something?

Speaker 3 (53:52):
But in this case, unless her like work is affecting
the team or tanking the company or like our goals together,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Know if you could say anything.

Speaker 1 (54:01):
Technically she is stealing company time and money though if
she's lying about But then again, how do I don't
know if if she told you this, if she just
told you this, it could be just hearsay.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
Yeah, if you're the only one she told, then she's
gonna know you're the one that ratted her.

Speaker 8 (54:17):
Out.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
I don't know if I would say anything. I think
this kind of karma comes full circle on its own.

Speaker 10 (54:22):
Yeah, I'm great. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (54:24):
You know, if you tell her that they got to
get HR involved the whole big No.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
That's who you would tell, is HR? I guess right, Yeah,
I don't know. Yeah, I don't tell anything. I avoid
HR at all costs. Even when I see him in
the hallway, I keep my head down like they won't
notice me.

Speaker 10 (54:45):
Right, Yeah, I think I might stay out of it.
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (54:48):
Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you got to deal
with that. That is that is awful, and I would yeah,
I wouldn't. It feels icky. I wouldn't want to be
around it at all. But she'll get hers, I don't know.
Some way, somehow this stuff comes around. I truly believe that.
And you know it won't be It won't be good
for her.

Speaker 10 (55:04):
