Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tell them, Yeah, they talk better than these are the
radio blogs on the Fred Show, all right, like for
riding in our tiaries, except we stay them a loud.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
We call them blogs chasing Brown. Yes you ready? Yeah,
thank you do your thing? Oh I will thank you,
dear blog.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
So I don't understand straight men for a lot of reasons,
but it has become a parent pretty much over the
last week that I don't know how to greet y'all, okay,
because there have been some straight dudes at the office
that walk up to me and they try to do
the dabbing thing right, and sometimes you grab their hand
(00:44):
and then you hold onto their fingers and then it's
sometimes followed by like a pound, like a snap, like
a rock paper scissors type something. Paulina told me today
that some people are snapping like their theater kids over
here doing like I don't know what's going on, you.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Know, as a straight man, I have the same issue,
like when you shake hands. I've noticed how people are
holding onto the hand longer. Yeah, that gets weird, and
so I don't know how long I was supposed to
be squeezing your hand and then when I if I
release and you're still squeezing, then do I re squeeze.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I don't want to be like limp fish hand. I
want people to think I'm powerful when I'm shaking their
hands like I thought.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
It was you know, two or three second like cool,
you know, shake the hand and then you release. But
sometimes people will hold onto your hand a little longer
and hold your shoulder. They like touch your arm yet, and.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Then there's a whole body part too, like sometimes it's
a little gay sometimes like they're holding some of it's
kind of gay. I'm not gonna lie, but like sometimes yeah,
you do, like the half hug, the bringing you do,
like the just bump.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I was at the mall over the weekend. I had
to get my phone fixed, and I was there and
the guy cashed me out whatever, and then he like
sort of held I'm gonna scribe this way. He sort
of like held up his fist, not like a direct
knuckle to knuckle fist, something more of like this, like
playing like rock papers, And so I'm like, are you trying?
Am I trying to go down on top of like
your fist? This is what I did, But that didn't
(02:08):
feel right. I don't know if he was trying to
go like this thing is why are we doing there?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Like sometimes it's sometimes it's like the little grab thing,
you know, like where you grab with the fires, and
then sometimes that goes to like a thing with the
thumb and the and then sometimes there's another step. But
like what I'm saying is some people do two steps,
some people do three, some do some do a high
five afterwards. My thing is, I don't I don't know
(02:35):
how many steps we're doing, you know, So how do
we indicate before we do it? Like hey, this is
a two step greeting or a three step greeting, Like
I don't know how we're doing it. And oftentimes either
one or the other of us is sort of like hanging,
you know, because there's they went for three steps, I
only went for two. I gambled, and then their hand
is hanging out there and then like what do you do? Yeah,
(02:56):
it's tricky. There is no standard greeting anymore, Jason.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Decision of like what we're doing, Like so now I'm thinking,
should I just go in with what my idea and
then force that person to do whatever I want? Like
we're doing five stops like hand snap, like I don't
really hit me like.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
There's no there's no standard.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It's kind of like if you watch like NBA players,
like baseball players, they have a handshake for each teammate.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
You know what I'm saying, expand each other.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But that's how it is.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
That's how like like, that's how it is here.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Whatever when you agreet like I have this.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Memory of remembering like, oh, you know this person likes
the handshake, this person just likes to day have this
person whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
What do I like to do?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Like when if you're gonna greet me?
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Like what JB jvs not a touchy person, So you know,
there needs to be a standard.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Just a fist bump. Guy. Someone texted that usually it's
a handshake or a fist pump, whichever. I've also found
that it could be very insensitive to offer a fist bump.
Like I know of a situation recently where two men
who don't particularly care for each other. We're seated next
week each other at a wedding, which was a misstep
(04:02):
in itself, and but but one of my friends, who
didn't need to be the bigger person, was the bigger
person stuck his hand out and the dude responded with
a fist instead, and it was just like you a whole,
Like that's just such an a hoole move, like if
someone it's it's more intimate to shake someone's hand. And
if someone sticks their hand out and then you respond
(04:22):
with a fist pump, even if you're doing it for
germy purposes. If you know there's bad blood already and
the person's put their hand out, that's a peace offering.
You got to shake their hand, even if you don't
want to go wash your hand afterwards. You know what
it was that guy's name that we don't like from
they got the interview that doesn't like anyone touching out,
(04:45):
but like it made this other guy look so bad
because like you know, you hear the story and it's
like I didn't want to sit next to him. I
didn't want to see him. I stuck my hand out
and then he responds with a fist bump as if
he's too good to even shake my hand, Like bad move. Yeah,
but there's a lot of steps going on and I agree,
and I oftentimes I go for one more step, they
go for one. I don't know what to do. Yes, Paulina,
(05:07):
does it depend you?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Like how cool you are with this person or how
you know them, if you just mean versus like this
is one of your boys.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
If you're meeting for someone for the first time, it's
normally a handshake like hey, nice to meet you.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Whatever I think they do, like the hands hands like
sort of thing like that.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, right, huh. But your best friend, what do you
do in the shimmy?
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Oh, like me and my best friend, we have our
own handshake. Like my best friend and I we have
our own handshake.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
A surprise, make it a hot wife? Why I am
too a handsake eight hours a day on TikTok to
thank God you're married to a hot woman. It's a
miracle and it's water handshake.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
What do you know?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
It's just a simple you know, it's a it's a
simple it's like a you know, like a double tap
in a salute.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
So he's been trying to get us do that to
her forever, and we were doing She would trying to
get the salute. You don't bow to.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Kiki when she walks by Ian.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
To do that. That was her context. She's working like
a crown most of the time. So it's anything you
do in a gabble. Yeah, She's like that scene from
Coming to America with the rose petals. People throw the
rose petals out in front of her when she walks in.
It's crazy. Yeah, I have no idea how we got
(06:29):
the budget for that.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
