Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Vinaty Free Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm Ali and I am Mike.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
I did a bad last week.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Uh Oh.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
You ever say something and you wish you could just
like put the words right back in your mouth immediately.
Ah yeah, and just eject from the situation.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh absolutely.

Speaker 3 (00:15):
So we were at the John Party show and we
were doing our pre party. By the way, we're gonna
have a pre party for Landy Wilson this Saturday at
Gimme's Parr and Grill downtown gren Rapids. It's right down
the street from Vanandel. Very cool place. If you've never
been there, this is going to be a good opportunity
for you to come check it out. But at the
John Party pre party, we had somebody come up to

(00:36):
us and ask if she could get a picture, and
she was talking about her kids, and I heard the
word mom, so like I'm thinking mom, whatever, she asked
to take a picture with us, We're like, of course, absolutely,
we'll do like a little video for your kids.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
And say hi.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
And the woman who was taking the picture was clearly
going with her to the show, and in my mind
that was her.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Momles She also said some things that were very mom like, But.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
The first The first red flag should have been like, Ali,
this woman does not look old enough to be this
other woman's mother.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
You know this, you have eyes and a brain.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
But at the end of it, I said something alluding
to the fact that, like the woman taking the picture
was the mom of the woman getting a picture with us.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I remember exactly what happened to you, Yes, because I
felt for you. So her phone was sticky or had
stuff on it, and she goes, oh, your phone. She
was talking about my phone. She's like, your phone so clean,
because so and So's phone is always so sticky. And
the girl who were taking a picture with kind of
sidhe or whatever, and you went, oh mom, mom, Yeah,

(01:45):
like that's such a mom.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Thing, like calling her out because her phone is dirty
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yes, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
And the woman that was taking the picture with us said, Oh,
that's not my mom, that's my best friend. Ejecked eject
eject eject. I full on panicked and was like, yeah, no,
I'm just saying that because that's that's something my mom
would say to me. Oh, I was so embarrassed. I

(02:13):
was so embarrassed. So this is my formal apology. You
didn't look like a mom. I knew that there was
no way you could have been that woman's mom. I
don't know why I said that, thank you for taking
the picture and being a good sport you try.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
There was nothing like you played it off very well.
I feel like you played it off very well. And
they kind of moved forward from it. And the woman
taking the picture did say she gets that all the time.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
She was so sweet. She couldn't have been nicer about it.
And I was like, and that makes me feel worse.
That makes me feel so much worse, because you're an angel,
You're a literal angel, and I did a bad I.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Did it bad. Have you ever said something that?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Immediately like, as soon as the words left your mouth,
you were like, no, what is the most awkward thing
you have accidentally called somebody or said? We were at
the John party pre party, uh huh, And there were
two ladies that approached us. One of them wanted to
get a picture and the other one who was taking
the photo. For some reason, I had it in my

(03:17):
head that that was the other one's mom.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
She said a very mom like thing. To be fair,
they kind of looked related.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
It was way too they did look related, maybe way
too young to be mother and daughter. But I called
the one lady the other lady's mom, and then immediately
the lady was like, oh no, that's my best friend,
that's not my mom.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
But then then the the mom not mom, said, Uh, well,
don't worry. It happens all the time. So it sound
like you were the only one who's ever done that.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
But it made me feel worse. Uh, what is the
most awkward thing you've accidentally called somebody or said, like
the moment the words leave your mouth, you just want
to put them back in.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Wish I didn't.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Say that, or a from the situation six one, six, two, four,
two ninety three, ninety three, you said you had one
of these.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
So it wasn't me. Nine times out of ten, it's
usually me. So I'm gonna I'm gonna switch it up
a little bit and tell you about the time that
it happened to me. Okay, but normally I am the
one who says dumb things and has to go. I
did what I met was and I make it worse.
Like I'll keep it going. You you were very good
about moving along. I will keep it going. So we
have a man in this building. I'm not gonna say

(04:28):
his name, I will say, because I now give him
crap about it. He looks like he looks like a
melted cran and he he decided, uh when I saw
him at one of his events at a casino, to
say hi to me and my wife who were there,
uh huh. And we walked through, we say hi to

(04:48):
him really quick. Two seconds later we walked back through
say had to him again.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh wait, I heard about that.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
So then the following Monday, he comes up and this
this melted cran looking me walks up to me and
he goes, hey, it was so good to see you
and your mom.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Over the weekend.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
I said, my what He goes, that wasn't your mom.
I go to the woman with me. He goes, yeah,
I go, no, that was my wife. He goes, oh,
oh that must have been like the lady met No,
that was and he kept going with it. And I'm like, dude,
just like if he had done what you did and
just like move past it, I probably would have let
it go. But now every time I see this man

(05:27):
every time, and I see him very rarely, so it's
fun to do it every single time because he I
think he feels bad about it.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Now, and that is now the company that I keep.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
That's the category that I'm in now, right, Chris, You
got a story I do.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I was in a grocery store, preoccupied, super busy, and
somebody I knew came up behind me and they had
their baby with them, and I had never seen their baby,
and she's like, hey, this is nice son, blah blah,
and I turned around and I'm like, oh, he's dumb, right,
tore like, I don't know why I I literally called

(06:04):
her baby dumb?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
What?

Speaker 5 (06:06):
What?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I have so many questions?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
This a brain fire, was a total brain fart.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Why did you call the baby dumb?

Speaker 5 (06:14):
I'm not quite sure. I was just really busy and
it just came out. I really wanted to just vanish.
I felt fifty the rig really quick like, and I
was sweating, and I just didn't know what to say afterwards.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Your baby was dumb.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
That's not even a description I would even think to
use for anything.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
Oh that I just came out, came out.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
What did they say to you?

Speaker 5 (06:37):
And they were just with their mouth wide open, and
I just turned around like, ok bye, see oh yeah,
I felt really really really.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
It's okay, you feel dumb to the best of us.
Good morning, d naughty three. Who's this and where are
you from? What's up? Jacob?

Speaker 6 (06:58):
This didn't happen to me, but it happened several years
ago and is one of our family's funniest stories. Freak
tell She worked at a baby supplies store and one
day she walked up to this woman who was shopping,
and she said, oh, how far long are you? Yeah,
she was shopping for a baby shower. She wasn't pregnant.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Oh no, Like that's that's a tricky one because there
is some sort of hint that there might be a
baby there.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
But you almost can never ask that question.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
And she never asked that question again.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Six one, six, two four two ninety three, ninety three
You ever said anything, or maybe someone said it to
you and you just wanted to crawl in a hole
and never come out again. Emily and kent Wood sent
me a message. She said, my husband's grandma calls me
by his ex girlfriend's name, like kind of a lot.
She swears she's not doing it on purpose.
