Speaker 1 (00:00):
John Chris. You know this guy, John christ the comedian.
He's like a Christian comedian. Well before him, he shows
up a lot of different places, and he's been a
little not Christian at times too. He had a bit
of them, a bit of him. And this is a
few years ago. You know, people falter, you know what
I mean. May have been some ladies and some substances
(00:21):
supposedly allegedly. Whatever they seem to have, they seem to
have solved the tipping problem in the world. That's a
very popular, very popular topic on the show. I love
to talk about tipping. But but they were addressing a
tweet or an x or whatever. Is that what we're
supposed to call it? No an x uh And it
(00:43):
says new rule if I order standing up, I'm not tipping.
This is what they had to say about it. Hold
on a second, I have to watch an ad? Is
he gonna make me watch it? I don't want to
watch an ad. I'm not doing this.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well that's that's that was essentially the gist of it.
Here standing up, I'm not tipping. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, this
will save America.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
People are standing there because that guy's standing there and
you're not coming out here.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We're both on our feet. Bro, we're both standing up here.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
We both need it.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We're both doing the same work right now, four and
a half hours.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
We both are going to go and break.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
If I'm tipping you, then you're tipping me too.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know about that, But the point is these
guys think they got it nailed. If you're standing, if
you order standing up, you don't have to tip. Now
Is that going to be the Is that the new line?
Is that where we draw the line on tipping? Because
I mean everywhere you go, everywhere you go there is
there is no place now that doesn't except for maybe McDonald's.
(01:44):
It doesn't ask for a tip, especially on little automated system.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Flip it over. It's no service nowhere.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay, where do you decide, like, how are we going
to decide as a society when where to draw the line?
Because I feel like it used to be when you
you went to a restaurant and somebody served you, you tipped.
When you went to a bar and somebody served you,
you tipped. If you went to a hotel and the
guy carried your bags for you, you tipped him. Vallet Parker,
you tipped him. All service related. They were doing something
(02:13):
for you that you weren't going to do for yourself,
that you could have done for yourself, and you're tipping.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now. The same could be true.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I suppose when you go to a fest food restaurant
or a place where you order standing up, they're going
to make the sandwich for you, they're going to make
the hamburger or whatever, and you're not but you're.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Also paying for that service.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
A lot of this other stuff was either you got
exceptional service so you paid extra, or the service was
free to you, so you tipped for it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So is this where we're drawing the line.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
But you see it doesn't work because now they're asking
for tips through the drive through and I'm technically sitting down,
But why.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Am I tipping you to give me my drink through
the drive through?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Yeah, aside from all those services that you just listened,
because I always tip on those, I have to check
in with myself and my spirit that specific day and
see if I feel like tipping.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You couldn't too.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
He can't be black or white for my brain, it
hurts too much. So like I just check in, say
how am I feeling? Am I feeling giving? And if
it's either a yes or no. The answer is always no.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Well for you, not for me.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Sometimes I like, yeah, at fast new places, at at
like sporting events, I'm not I'm not tipping you to
give me a hot dog. You know what I'm saying,
Like it's it's it's no for me. If i'm standing,
I'm with this guy. If i'm standing, I'm not tipping.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But if you're sitting in the drive through and I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, I'll stand in the drive I'll stand out outside
my car. Okay, so you will stand up now.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
If that's the new rule, they need to pull up
to the drive rut your car, which they do not encourage.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They don't want you to do that.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
If someone so exceptionally like wonderful or nice, you don't
ever feel compelled to go. Like that woman just turned
my day around. It's like I don't know, Like it
doesn't have to be black or white. Yeah, I guess,
but like I mean exceptional servant. But like that's I mean,
it's kind of your job. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You should have acceptional service for everything.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, we can take a quick survey on this eight five, five, five,
nine one three five Is that going to be the
new rule if I order standing up? Because here's the thing,
it's not even like, of course you have you always
have the option to give somebody an extra couple bucks.
You always had that option, and if you're feeling generous
and if the person was very nice to you or
did a great job or whatever, then you should you
(04:23):
should always do that. But my question is is it
now just becoming the expectation that you're gonna do it
every time?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I mean, that's that's where I'm at with this is
what are we like programming ourselves and what is the
hospitality industry now expect from us? Because if I almost
feel like we should take some like if I owned
a restaurant and and you ordered standing up, I feel
like I might even say, figure out another way to
(04:52):
incentivize my employees and take that off the little computer
thing entirely because it kind it's kind of annoying because
they they look at them, but like sometimes they look
at you. It's awkward for everybody. It's awkward for the cashier.
It's awkward for me when they're like, well, it's going
to ask you a question, and it's like I look
at you. I look down at the thing, and you're
looking at me, and I'm like, the question is if
I'm going to give you extra money or not? And
(05:13):
so sometimes I feel guilty into doing it because you're
staring at me. And I don't think these people necessarily
because it's not like they get every dollar that anyway.
A lot of times it's split up or whatever. So
it's just a whole awkward thing.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
But is that on the company or the worker? You
know what I mean? Because made that decision.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
If Yeah, if I own the business, I might say
okay for the sit down stuff. Of course, for the
stand up stuff, I'm taking that option away so that
we don't have to and the employees might get mad.
But it's like then I need to figure out another
way to say that I'm going to reward you for
being excellent in this other way, you.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Know, I just I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I also hate now like when they spin that thing
around at you, right, yeah, but they they it's like
what percent tip do you want?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like five, ten, fifteen, there's no like five but.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Whatever, Like I'm just putting numbers out there, but like
there's it's hard to find the cancel button or like
you have to ask them like, where's.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
The where's the so you're like, tip the buttons right now?
They're hiding it. What Yeah, I could trying to like
guilt you. So you have to ask that person, so
you feel like a jerk, Like.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
But it's not on them. They didn't make that decision.
So why would we punish them for asking for a tip?
You know, no, I'm saying they're punished.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They make you feel like you're whatever, Like you have
to ask the employee, now, where's the other option here?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So you look like you're not gonna so they know
you're not gonna tip. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Every time we talk about tipping, you know, we get
this stuff, Oh Fred, you're you know, you have this job,
you're entitled or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's not that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It's just that I feel like the purpose of tipping
was to incentivize a person to work harder, to get more, right,
I mean, wasn't that And again like and so that way,
if I am a really really excellent intensive server, then
I stand to make more money. Now if people are
taking advantage of that and they're not tipping like they should,
(07:03):
now that's a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's that's not good. That's on you as the consumer.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But like if I just do an average job but
expect an above average tip, that defeats the purpose. That's
not the point, right, Like as a consumer, and I
guess I would ask the people who are in the
service industry to they're listening now, going, no, you should
give me extra money because it's not a great job,
or I don't you know whatever, it's hard work.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, but I would ask you then to flip it.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And when you're sitting down, if someone did an average,
subpar job, do you in your mind do you still
want to give them twenty percent or is that just
the cost of doing business? If I go to a
sit down restaurant, I'm just paying twenty percent. Now, if
I go order anything and anybody makes it, I just
have to tip. That's just what it is. Now, I
have to supplement. I have to just add two or
three bucks to everything I order.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Is that just?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Is that just where we're at? Cause again, like let's
say you do an amazing like there's a couple of
restaurants I go to where they do such a good
like they remember my drink and it's just like they
really work at it and they get a much bigger
tip than twenty twenty. I mean, I if you make
me look good, I'll tip you a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
If I'm on a date or something, you make me
look good, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But like, at the same time, if I go there
and they don't care, then I can't. I'm not gonna
tip them the same way, you know what I mean.
And if you know you're gonna get the same tip
no matter what you do, then you maybe just do
an average jo. I don't know, maybe just do an
average job. Everyone's quiet because they don't want to smoke.
(08:34):
You don't want to smoke.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, blame your bosses, Blame your corporation, Blame the corporation.
It's a corporation that's putting these tips out there, that's
not paying you enough, so they make it on the
consumer to pay you.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And it's not my problem. Well, and then but then
it's it's I will admit this.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Then if they go make the food more expensive, then
the customers complain, and so it's it's it's all a
shell game, right. They want you to help kind of
supplement where they're not paying as much because they don't
want to raise their menu prices because it would then
it would get to the point when nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Would come in.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
But does CEO doesn't need like this fifty way?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know? You say that, but four yachts could break.
And if I'm going on vacation four of my yachts
are broken, then what the hell am I supposed to
do as the CEO of this company? H and I
only have three yachts for the record, in case the
other two were in the shop?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Sandy, Hi, what did you want to say? Good morning?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I wanted to say.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
You know, years ago, I used to be a server
and service only got paid less than half of what
full time people got paid. And that's why we we
we needed tips and in order to supplement our income.
So therefore we give great service in order to get
a higher tip. But for fast food people, they get
(09:51):
full time, right, you know, most of the people, they
get full time salaries. And if you're supposed to they
are supposed to give great take service anyway, well, and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We are paying for it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
By the way, Like I'm not picking on McDonald's, but
a drink used to be a dollar, now it's three.
Hasbroun used to be whatever, now it's three.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
And that's not a medium by the way, No, they're
new mediums. That's a small Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I'm just saying I'm just saying so, and again, not entitlement.
It's just we're paying for We are paying for it
because the salaries or you know, the hourly wages of
salaries are going up, which is great, but it is
being passed on to the consumer. So it's the whole
thing is getting a little bit out of hand, to
the point where if we're supposed to tip everybody every time,
what's going to happen is eventually people i think, will
(10:35):
just stop going out as much. And that's that's a
bigger problem if no one's coming to your business. And again,
you could sit here and say, well, Fred, if it's
if the twenty percent is preventing people from going to McDonald's, okay,
but I mean, if I'm paying thirteen dollars or ten
dollars for a meal and now I got it, now
it's twelve, and it's a lie, the heads up, it
really does city.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Yeah, book, you're server and you're not getting full time
sale or what's the point of even becoming a server?
If you you know, I might as well then just
go and apply at McDonald's thing that I could get
more salory and a tip.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah maybe, so, thank you, Cindy. You have a great day.
Okay you too.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh well, you know we love tipping around here for
people that don't make tips, we love tipping. Hey Christina, Hi,
how are you?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So the the idea was presented that if you ordered
a restaurant standing up, or you know, a coffee place
or whatever, you're not tipping or the people aren't tipping.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What do you think?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
I find it very tough because half the time you
go into one of those restaurants, the ones that you
know is grab a bag and go, and they don't
even get the order right, so you're going back in
because it's incorrect. So I find it really difficult to
tip when you haven't even had your food yet, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Like, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Yeah, this is really difficult. Like when you're in a
sit down restaurant, you eat your food and then you
pay right, Whereas when you walk into like mcgon of
the Chick fil a, subway whatever, right, you don't know
until you've actually got home half the time how good
your food is, and then you're like, well, why did
I give them eighteen percent.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
For right the wrong order. Yeah, yeah, well Christina, thank you. No,
it's a good point. Thank you have a good day.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Do you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Think I've noticed that too about the delivery services, because
you guys know I frequent the delivery services. I am
probably the best customer right dash that ever was made,
that ever lived. In fact, I think they're going to
name something out or give me an award college or something. Yeah, no,
I am, But I've noticed, you know, you tip up
front right on the app, and I think I usually
give a good tip because I want to incentivize them
(12:39):
to do it and quickly take the order. But what
happens is I the tip's already been given, so sometimes
they'll bring it up to my unit. Sometimes they won't.
They'll just throw it at the front and leave. But
it's like, but I already tipped them, so and I'm
not going to go back into the app and take
the tip away. But I'm getting varied levels of service.
So now I'm like, well, I don't know, maybe I
don't want to tip up from because I'm want to
(13:00):
see what you do, because that's the point, right, And
the other thing is you guys know how I feel
about I feel like everybody should work in retail or
the food service industry, are both at one point in
their lives, especially when they're young, to learn how to
deal with people.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Shared tipping would piss me off.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Like the other day, we were at the bar before
a baseball game and the girl was yes, she was
working her asshole for I mean, she was really hustling,
and at the end the late it was Amy Witherright,
I think it was, or it was her loss. Somebody
gave her a big tip, like a big cash tip,
and she's like, thanks, but I and thank you. She
(13:37):
was very grateful, But then it was like she told us,
this goes into the I can't keep this, I have
to give this to the restaurant, and then everything gets
divided equally. And I know that's because there are people
that you don't see who are also working hard who
deserve to get a tip as well. But like, if
you are above and this girl was working ten times
as hard as anybody else, but she's gonna make the
same amount of money at the end of the day.
So what incentivizes you then to work that hard? Aside
(14:01):
from just pride. I guess which doesn't pay the bills?
Hey Tina, Hello, Hi Tina, what do you think?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Uh? You know what my rule of thumb now is
because so many places, like you guys said or tip
tip tip. If I didn't chip before, I do not
tip now.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay right, okay, hell yeah Tina. Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So you're saying that as the trends evolved, and it
sort of shows up everywhere at the dry cleaners and
everywhere else, you're like, no, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Well, every place has either a chip cup out or
you know, yes, when you when you have a card
credit card, it comes up, you know, do you want
to leave a tip? I never left a tip at
McDonald's before, or you know, different places like that concession stand.
You know, like there's different different ones. And and my
(14:55):
family is in the service industry, and you know, when
you're a waitress, you only make a couple dollars an hour.
You know you're gonna get really good service so that
you get tips. But now you have the service workers
that are yes they're service workers, but they're making twelve
fourteen dollars an hour and they're still asking for tips.
(15:18):
It just kind of it rubs.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Me the wrong way, all right, Tina, Well, thank you
have a good day, you too, Thank.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You for listening.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Now people are like, well, if you get on the app,
it cost it's I'm like, okay, I don't know. I'm
just saying everything more expective.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Drink.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I just read a story this morning about how most
people are having a difficult time with inflation and it's
and I get it, but like it affects everybody. Yes,
if you go to a restaurant, you should be able
to afford to, you know, incentivize service. Sure, but like
not every restaurant, not every store. Like I go to
a car wash, that's a drive up car wash. Now
(15:50):
they added on the screen. You think, like you want
to tip to employees. It's like the employees do people try?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh, there's no guy that's like telling me, so put
my car on the track and that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
And that's only guy. I seem like, I'm there noms
drying my car. Right, I'm like sell myself right, like
it's whatever. It's a five dollars car wash. You want
me to pay ten dollars now for a car wash?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
But if they dry I always say, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
For sure, it's a hard topic because you can I
can see both sides and I'm not somebody again, like
the shared tipping thing, Yeah, there are guys in the
back that should get a piece of cause they're working
hard too, and they should get a piece. But then again,
these services supposed to tip out as well. So like
I say no shared, I say, I want to work
in a place where I get my own tips for
whatever whatever I do or don't do. And then I
(16:36):
need to be a good partner and a good co worker,
and I need to tip out the percentage of what
I make and if I make more than they get more,
you know. But again, maybe maybe that makes me like
a I don't know, like a bad guy or something,
but I know not at all. I would go to
work and it's like I'm gonna bust my assi today,
I'm gonna make more money now if you take again,
I'm gonna say one more time. If you're a consumer,
(16:57):
you take advantage of that and you don't tip, you
tip poorly, and someone's working there, then you're then you're
part of the problem. Right then, don't say anything about it.
You're not allowed to talk about it. Let's do trending stories.
Next The Entertainer of port blogs, audio journals, new Waiting
by the phone.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Why did somebody get ghosted all?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Next?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Fred Show is on vacuum two minutes after all, Rion,
I'm glad you're here, Caitlyn, take it away. Do a blog, please,
dear blog.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Speaking of loving each other very much.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I actually went over to Paulina's house over the weekend
to have a little auntie time with baby Gigi, who
is just beautiful and her hair is getting so long.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
God, she's so pretty.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Thank you, so pretty.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
It's like it's not even normal how pretty she is.
But one thing about Paulina is she's gonna be on brand, okay,
and she has a lot going on at all times
inside of that brain and outside of that brain, she's
kind of like a beautiful little like Tornado at all times.
So I get over to her house, of course, I
know I'm going to be greeted by Benzo, who already you.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Know he's my boy.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
No, I'm gonna get a couple scratches on these legs,
but I love them.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Say hi, he's excited.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I'm not a toddler, so he's not gonna hunt me,
which is nice toddlers only toddlers. So I get in there,
we have the baby, and then I go in the
kitchen to drop something. There's a random woman at the
island who I'm just like, oh hey, I'm Kaylin, and
she's doing up some sort of plans for you're redoing
something in your house.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Yeah, I'm making a mudroom. So the one project I
want is a mudroom.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
When you walk in, so it's just organized, it looks good.
I bought something, is it not fit? Because I do
not measure. I don't have to redo this again.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So there's a random woman I meet and then Pauline
is like, well, of course we had to go somewhere,
and she's like, of course, I'm not ready yet. So
here's the baby and I'm like, good, I want this
baby immediately. Then we got one grandma coming over, beloved Marta,
who we all know. She comes on over. She's watching
the baby while we go. Then we got you know,
hobvy in and out. It's like a revolving door over there.
(18:52):
We go to where we need to go, we come back.
We got another grandma and a sister in law that
comes over. We're swapping the baby, the grandma's a swapping,
Paulina's got another party to go to. She's just it's
just there's a lot of chaos going on in that
house at all times.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
And I was just happy to see that, you know,
she's on brand. I can't tell if I would like
that or if I wouldn't like that. Like, sometimes I
think about what life would look like if I moved
to like more of a neighborhood, you know, and I
like knew my neighbors and and like people came and went,
and I, you know, I just wonder, like I've never
lived it's been twenty years, more than twenty years since
(19:28):
I've lived in the city where my family is.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So like my family is whoever I make. It's you guys,
it's friends or whatever, but like no one's stopping by.
I don't really know my neighbors very well because a
lot of them aren't there very often.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It's just like what my grandfather, for example, they used
to live on a street in Peoria, and I've told
the story before, but he had a hegerator in his
garage and all the neighbors had a garage door opener.
Or he would just open the garage when he got home,
and if the garage door was opened, that meant come
over with your cup and get and so people would
just camp out in his drive way almost every day
(20:01):
and drink beer. And I just wonder sometimes, like, do
you ever do you ever want to lock the door
and pretend like you're not in there so that it's
not you know, like an influx and outflux of people.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Honestly not right now.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
I think because of baby and because I know like
I want help and I need help. I love it,
but I feel like maybe one day we'll get there
when I'm gonna be like, all right, doors closed, you
know what I mean, shop is closed today, close side
of the door. Maybe, But right now I'm loving it,
like I want everyone to come in. My best friend Jonathan,
he's got the kids. I have a code key thing
at my door. I don't have a lock. I have
(20:35):
like oh yeah, right, yeah, my friends over there.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
There's always twenty people a construction project, yes, you know,
and we're live around.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yes to the audience.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
My best friend, I'm like, just come in, and so
now he just comes into, right.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I love it. There was it was a lot.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
It was a good chaos, but it was cute and like,
I know your your mother in law slept there the
night before, but then she was back. We're treating the baby,
we're switching outfits.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
So like, I'm capable of being a a social person,
but sometimes I don't feel like talking. And when I
come sometimes I come in like almost every morning when
I walk in the building here at the radio studio,
there's a guy and he's been up all night work
in security, and he wants to talk, okay, and he's
got a ton of energy and he wants to talk.
And I love him for that, and I'm super grateful
(21:17):
that he's so kind, but like I don't want to
talk to him, Like I'm not awake yet, I haven't
had any coffee. It's five o'clock in the morning, like
I'm not. He yells at me, I'm not ready, And
a lot of times he pops up from the thing
scares me.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's why I take a back stare.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
But again, it's nothing personal.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's like there are just times in my life like
where I'm just not interested in And like if you
live in a high riser of folks that work there
and they're very kind, but they're looking at what you're
doing and who's coming with you and all that kind
of stuff, and that's just just sometimes I don't I
wish I could have complete and total privacy and autonomy.
But then other times I think, how cool would it
be to have a little community, like where like I
(21:55):
know a guy who he lives next door to two
or three of his buddies from when he grew up,
and like they, you know, in the summer, the grill
gets rolled out and like the chairs get rolled out
and they just sit there and drink and have a
great time, and the kids are running around and like
that sounds like fun. But like on a random Tuesday,
if I come home and like there are four guys
in my garage for in themselves beers, I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Like, lose it.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm like, dude, get the hell out of my house.
But you can't be that way, I'm sure. So I
just wonder, like how how that is? Like sometimes I
would think it would be great to have a house
full of people, and then other times I would be like,
how do you tell people? Yeah, it's an open door,
but actually not right now.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Yeah, it's a tough line because it's like, you know,
you want your privacy.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I know you want like your own space.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
That's why I go upstairs sometimes and I just, I
don't know, all sit in the toilet for like thirty
minutes just because I'm like, I just want to be
by myself.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Everyone's like, God, Paulina has really bad.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Right, Well get that checked out?
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Girl?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Do you have that? Kiki? Oh oh, I listen.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I don't want to talk when I leave here to
anyone other than Instagram.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
God, I'm not the only one.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
My sister is the house. That's like probably in this house,
like everybody can just pull up. Is like an episode
of Martin. You never know who's going to walk in
being one of the characters that pulls up and walks
in and then you can leave.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Exactly because don't pop up at my house.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
That is one of my biggest Like don't don't stop by,
don't tell me in the neighborhood. I need forty eight
hours to have noticed before you come to my house.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
God, because people think I'm weird.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
But like, I don't like to talk a whole lot
once we leave Herede's not enough talking.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
It's just however, you werefel were yappers. Yeah, I'm a yeah,
I'm a yupper.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I want everyone around at all times.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Well, you guys are welcome to come by anytime. I mean,
they're not the code of my door.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Come on in.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
And that makes me happy because I really thought, like
the whole time you were off, I was like, I
don't want to bother.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Probably no, I don't want to bother.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I never want to be a bother because I feel
like somebody's always bothering me.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Maybe that's a problem. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
One day, if you get tired of it, just change
the door code. Everyone will be like I can't get in.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I don't know, would have a pitch forks outside.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Like I can't get in? Like are you inside? Yeah,
we'll come open the door. No, no waiting by the phone.

I agree with Rufeo on this.
Speaker 4 (25:28):
Wow, we don't need it, I know, and I actually
do too. Yeah, oh I know, I'll just froze over
Speaker 1 (25:36):
All of that is coming up and waiting after Benson
Boone Fred Show, Good Morning
John Chris. You know this guy, John christ the comedian.
He's like a Christian comedian. Well before him, he shows
up a lot of different places, and he's been a
little not Christian at times too. He had a bit
of them, a bit of him. And this is a
few years ago. You know, people falter, you know what
I mean. May have been some ladies and some substances
(00:21):
supposedly allegedly. Whatever they seem to have, they seem to
have solved the tipping problem in the world. That's a
very popular, very popular topic on the show. I love
to talk about tipping. But but they were addressing a
tweet or an x or whatever. Is that what we're
supposed to call it? No an x uh And it
(00:43):
says new rule if I order standing up, I'm not tipping.
This is what they had to say about it. Hold
on a second, I have to watch an ad? Is
he gonna make me watch it? I don't want to
watch an ad. I'm not doing this.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well that's that's that was essentially the gist of it.
Here standing up, I'm not tipping. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, this
will save America.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
People are standing there because that guy's standing there and
you're not coming out here.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We're both on our feet. Bro, we're both standing up here.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
We both need it.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We're both doing the same work right now, four and
a half hours.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
We both are going to go and break.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
If I'm tipping you, then you're tipping me too.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
I don't know about that, But the point is these
guys think they got it nailed. If you're standing, if
you order standing up, you don't have to tip. Now
Is that going to be the Is that the new line?
Is that where we draw the line on tipping? Because
I mean everywhere you go, everywhere you go there is
there is no place now that doesn't except for maybe McDonald's.
(01:44):
It doesn't ask for a tip, especially on little automated system.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Flip it over. It's no service nowhere.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Okay, where do you decide, like, how are we going
to decide as a society when where to draw the line?
Because I feel like it used to be when you
you went to a restaurant and somebody served you, you tipped.
When you went to a bar and somebody served you,
you tipped. If you went to a hotel and the
guy carried your bags for you, you tipped him. Vallet Parker,
you tipped him. All service related. They were doing something
(02:13):
for you that you weren't going to do for yourself,
that you could have done for yourself, and you're tipping.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Now. The same could be true.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I suppose when you go to a fest food restaurant
or a place where you order standing up, they're going
to make the sandwich for you, they're going to make
the hamburger or whatever, and you're not but you're.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Also paying for that service.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
A lot of this other stuff was either you got
exceptional service so you paid extra, or the service was
free to you, so you tipped for it.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
So is this where we're drawing the line.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
But you see it doesn't work because now they're asking
for tips through the drive through and I'm technically sitting down,
But why.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Am I tipping you to give me my drink through
the drive through?
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Yeah, aside from all those services that you just listened,
because I always tip on those, I have to check
in with myself and my spirit that specific day and
see if I feel like tipping.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
You couldn't too.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
He can't be black or white for my brain, it
hurts too much. So like I just check in, say
how am I feeling? Am I feeling giving? And if
it's either a yes or no. The answer is always no.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Well for you, not for me.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Sometimes I like, yeah, at fast new places, at at
like sporting events, I'm not I'm not tipping you to
give me a hot dog. You know what I'm saying,
Like it's it's it's no for me. If i'm standing,
I'm with this guy. If i'm standing, I'm not tipping.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But if you're sitting in the drive through and I'm.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, I'll stand in the drive I'll stand out outside
my car. Okay, so you will stand up now.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
If that's the new rule, they need to pull up
to the drive rut your car, which they do not encourage.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
They don't want you to do that.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
If someone so exceptionally like wonderful or nice, you don't
ever feel compelled to go. Like that woman just turned
my day around. It's like I don't know, Like it
doesn't have to be black or white. Yeah, I guess,
but like I mean exceptional servant. But like that's I mean,
it's kind of your job. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
You should have acceptional service for everything.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, we can take a quick survey on this eight five, five, five,
nine one three five Is that going to be the
new rule if I order standing up? Because here's the thing,
it's not even like, of course you have you always
have the option to give somebody an extra couple bucks.
You always had that option, and if you're feeling generous
and if the person was very nice to you or
did a great job or whatever, then you should you
(04:23):
should always do that. But my question is is it
now just becoming the expectation that you're gonna do it
every time?
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I mean, that's that's where I'm at with this is
what are we like programming ourselves and what is the
hospitality industry now expect from us? Because if I almost
feel like we should take some like if I owned
a restaurant and and you ordered standing up, I feel
like I might even say, figure out another way to
(04:52):
incentivize my employees and take that off the little computer
thing entirely because it kind it's kind of annoying because
they they look at them, but like sometimes they look
at you. It's awkward for everybody. It's awkward for the cashier.
It's awkward for me when they're like, well, it's going
to ask you a question, and it's like I look
at you. I look down at the thing, and you're
looking at me, and I'm like, the question is if
I'm going to give you extra money or not? And
(05:13):
so sometimes I feel guilty into doing it because you're
staring at me. And I don't think these people necessarily
because it's not like they get every dollar that anyway.
A lot of times it's split up or whatever. So
it's just a whole awkward thing.
Speaker 8 (05:24):
I know.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
But is that on the company or the worker? You
know what I mean? Because made that decision.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
If Yeah, if I own the business, I might say
okay for the sit down stuff. Of course, for the
stand up stuff, I'm taking that option away so that
we don't have to and the employees might get mad.
But it's like then I need to figure out another
way to say that I'm going to reward you for
being excellent in this other way, you.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Know, I just I don't.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
I also hate now like when they spin that thing
around at you, right, yeah, but they they it's like
what percent tip do you want?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Like five, ten, fifteen, there's no like five but.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Whatever, Like I'm just putting numbers out there, but like
there's it's hard to find the cancel button or like
you have to ask them like, where's.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
The where's the so you're like, tip the buttons right now?
They're hiding it. What Yeah, I could trying to like
guilt you. So you have to ask that person, so
you feel like a jerk, Like.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
But it's not on them. They didn't make that decision.
So why would we punish them for asking for a tip?
You know, no, I'm saying they're punished.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
They make you feel like you're whatever, Like you have
to ask the employee, now, where's the other option here?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
So you look like you're not gonna so they know
you're not gonna tip. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Every time we talk about tipping, you know, we get
this stuff, Oh Fred, you're you know, you have this job,
you're entitled or whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's not that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
It's just that I feel like the purpose of tipping
was to incentivize a person to work harder, to get more, right,
I mean, wasn't that And again like and so that way,
if I am a really really excellent intensive server, then
I stand to make more money. Now if people are
taking advantage of that and they're not tipping like they should,
(07:03):
now that's a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's that's not good. That's on you as the consumer.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But like if I just do an average job but
expect an above average tip, that defeats the purpose. That's
not the point, right, Like as a consumer, and I
guess I would ask the people who are in the
service industry to they're listening now, going, no, you should
give me extra money because it's not a great job,
or I don't you know whatever, it's hard work.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Yeah, but I would ask you then to flip it.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
And when you're sitting down, if someone did an average,
subpar job, do you in your mind do you still
want to give them twenty percent or is that just
the cost of doing business? If I go to a
sit down restaurant, I'm just paying twenty percent. Now, if
I go order anything and anybody makes it, I just
have to tip. That's just what it is. Now, I
have to supplement. I have to just add two or
three bucks to everything I order.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Is that just?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Is that just where we're at? Cause again, like let's
say you do an amazing like there's a couple of
restaurants I go to where they do such a good
like they remember my drink and it's just like they
really work at it and they get a much bigger
tip than twenty twenty. I mean, I if you make
me look good, I'll tip you a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
If I'm on a date or something, you make me
look good, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But like, at the same time, if I go there
and they don't care, then I can't. I'm not gonna
tip them the same way, you know what I mean.
And if you know you're gonna get the same tip
no matter what you do, then you maybe just do
an average jo. I don't know, maybe just do an
average job. Everyone's quiet because they don't want to smoke.
(08:34):
You don't want to smoke.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
No, blame your bosses, Blame your corporation, Blame the corporation.
It's a corporation that's putting these tips out there, that's
not paying you enough, so they make it on the
consumer to pay you.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
And it's not my problem. Well, and then but then
it's it's I will admit this.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Then if they go make the food more expensive, then
the customers complain, and so it's it's it's all a
shell game, right. They want you to help kind of
supplement where they're not paying as much because they don't
want to raise their menu prices because it would then
it would get to the point when nobody.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Would come in.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
But does CEO doesn't need like this fifty way?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You know? You say that, but four yachts could break.
And if I'm going on vacation four of my yachts
are broken, then what the hell am I supposed to
do as the CEO of this company? H and I
only have three yachts for the record, in case the
other two were in the shop?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Sandy, Hi, what did you want to say? Good morning?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Hi?
Speaker 4 (09:28):
I wanted to say.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
You know, years ago, I used to be a server
and service only got paid less than half of what
full time people got paid. And that's why we we
we needed tips and in order to supplement our income.
So therefore we give great service in order to get
a higher tip. But for fast food people, they get
(09:51):
full time, right, you know, most of the people, they
get full time salaries. And if you're supposed to they
are supposed to give great take service anyway, well, and.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
We are paying for it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
By the way, Like I'm not picking on McDonald's, but
a drink used to be a dollar, now it's three.
Hasbroun used to be whatever, now it's three.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
And that's not a medium by the way, No, they're
new mediums. That's a small Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
I'm just saying I'm just saying so, and again, not entitlement.
It's just we're paying for We are paying for it
because the salaries or you know, the hourly wages of
salaries are going up, which is great, but it is
being passed on to the consumer. So it's the whole
thing is getting a little bit out of hand, to
the point where if we're supposed to tip everybody every time,
what's going to happen is eventually people i think, will
(10:35):
just stop going out as much. And that's that's a
bigger problem if no one's coming to your business. And again,
you could sit here and say, well, Fred, if it's
if the twenty percent is preventing people from going to McDonald's, okay,
but I mean, if I'm paying thirteen dollars or ten
dollars for a meal and now I got it, now
it's twelve, and it's a lie, the heads up, it
really does city.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Yeah, book, you're server and you're not getting full time
sale or what's the point of even becoming a server?
If you you know, I might as well then just
go and apply at McDonald's thing that I could get
more salory and a tip.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah maybe, so, thank you, Cindy. You have a great day.
Okay you too.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh well, you know we love tipping around here for
people that don't make tips, we love tipping. Hey Christina, Hi,
how are you?
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
So the the idea was presented that if you ordered
a restaurant standing up, or you know, a coffee place
or whatever, you're not tipping or the people aren't tipping.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
What do you think?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
I find it very tough because half the time you
go into one of those restaurants, the ones that you
know is grab a bag and go, and they don't
even get the order right, so you're going back in
because it's incorrect. So I find it really difficult to
tip when you haven't even had your food yet, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Like, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
Yeah, this is really difficult. Like when you're in a
sit down restaurant, you eat your food and then you
pay right, Whereas when you walk into like mcgon of
the Chick fil a, subway whatever, right, you don't know
until you've actually got home half the time how good
your food is, and then you're like, well, why did
I give them eighteen percent.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
For right the wrong order. Yeah, yeah, well Christina, thank you. No,
it's a good point. Thank you have a good day.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
Do you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Think I've noticed that too about the delivery services, because
you guys know I frequent the delivery services. I am
probably the best customer right dash that ever was made,
that ever lived. In fact, I think they're going to
name something out or give me an award college or something. Yeah, no,
I am, But I've noticed, you know, you tip up
front right on the app, and I think I usually
give a good tip because I want to incentivize them
(12:39):
to do it and quickly take the order. But what
happens is I the tip's already been given, so sometimes
they'll bring it up to my unit. Sometimes they won't.
They'll just throw it at the front and leave. But
it's like, but I already tipped them, so and I'm
not going to go back into the app and take
the tip away. But I'm getting varied levels of service.
So now I'm like, well, I don't know, maybe I
don't want to tip up from because I'm want to
(13:00):
see what you do, because that's the point, right, And
the other thing is you guys know how I feel
about I feel like everybody should work in retail or
the food service industry, are both at one point in
their lives, especially when they're young, to learn how to
deal with people.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Shared tipping would piss me off.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Like the other day, we were at the bar before
a baseball game and the girl was yes, she was
working her asshole for I mean, she was really hustling,
and at the end the late it was Amy Witherright,
I think it was, or it was her loss. Somebody
gave her a big tip, like a big cash tip,
and she's like, thanks, but I and thank you. She
(13:37):
was very grateful, But then it was like she told us,
this goes into the I can't keep this, I have
to give this to the restaurant, and then everything gets
divided equally. And I know that's because there are people
that you don't see who are also working hard who
deserve to get a tip as well. But like, if
you are above and this girl was working ten times
as hard as anybody else, but she's gonna make the
same amount of money at the end of the day.
So what incentivizes you then to work that hard? Aside
(14:01):
from just pride. I guess which doesn't pay the bills?
Hey Tina, Hello, Hi Tina, what do you think?
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Uh? You know what my rule of thumb now is
because so many places, like you guys said or tip
tip tip. If I didn't chip before, I do not
tip now.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay right, okay, hell yeah Tina. Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
So you're saying that as the trends evolved, and it
sort of shows up everywhere at the dry cleaners and
everywhere else, you're like, no, I'm not going to do it.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Well, every place has either a chip cup out or
you know, yes, when you when you have a card
credit card, it comes up, you know, do you want
to leave a tip? I never left a tip at
McDonald's before, or you know, different places like that concession stand.
You know, like there's different different ones. And and my
(14:55):
family is in the service industry, and you know, when
you're a waitress, you only make a couple dollars an hour.
You know you're gonna get really good service so that
you get tips. But now you have the service workers
that are yes they're service workers, but they're making twelve
fourteen dollars an hour and they're still asking for tips.
(15:18):
It just kind of it rubs.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Me the wrong way, all right, Tina, Well, thank you
have a good day, you too, Thank.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You for listening.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Now people are like, well, if you get on the app,
it cost it's I'm like, okay, I don't know. I'm
just saying everything more expective.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Drink.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I just read a story this morning about how most
people are having a difficult time with inflation and it's
and I get it, but like it affects everybody. Yes,
if you go to a restaurant, you should be able
to afford to, you know, incentivize service. Sure, but like
not every restaurant, not every store. Like I go to
a car wash, that's a drive up car wash. Now
(15:50):
they added on the screen. You think, like you want
to tip to employees. It's like the employees do people try?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You know?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh, there's no guy that's like telling me, so put
my car on the track and that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
And that's only guy. I seem like, I'm there noms
drying my car. Right, I'm like sell myself right, like
it's whatever. It's a five dollars car wash. You want
me to pay ten dollars now for a car wash?
Speaker 2 (16:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:14):
But if they dry I always say, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
For sure, it's a hard topic because you can I
can see both sides and I'm not somebody again, like
the shared tipping thing, Yeah, there are guys in the
back that should get a piece of cause they're working
hard too, and they should get a piece. But then again,
these services supposed to tip out as well. So like
I say no shared, I say, I want to work
in a place where I get my own tips for
whatever whatever I do or don't do. And then I
(16:36):
need to be a good partner and a good co worker,
and I need to tip out the percentage of what
I make and if I make more than they get more,
you know. But again, maybe maybe that makes me like
a I don't know, like a bad guy or something,
but I know not at all. I would go to
work and it's like I'm gonna bust my assi today,
I'm gonna make more money now if you take again,
I'm gonna say one more time. If you're a consumer,
(16:57):
you take advantage of that and you don't tip, you
tip poorly, and someone's working there, then you're then you're
part of the problem. Right then, don't say anything about it.
You're not allowed to talk about it. Let's do trending stories.
Next The Entertainer of port blogs, audio journals, new Waiting
by the phone.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Why did somebody get ghosted all?
Speaker 7 (17:13):
Next?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Fred Show is on vacuum two minutes after all, Rion,
I'm glad you're here, Caitlyn, take it away. Do a blog, please,
dear blog.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
Speaking of loving each other very much.
Speaker 6 (17:21):
I actually went over to Paulina's house over the weekend
to have a little auntie time with baby Gigi, who
is just beautiful and her hair is getting so long.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
God, she's so pretty.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Thank you, so pretty.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
It's like it's not even normal how pretty she is.
But one thing about Paulina is she's gonna be on brand, okay,
and she has a lot going on at all times
inside of that brain and outside of that brain, she's
kind of like a beautiful little like Tornado at all times.
So I get over to her house, of course, I
know I'm going to be greeted by Benzo, who already you.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Know he's my boy.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
No, I'm gonna get a couple scratches on these legs,
but I love them.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Say hi, he's excited.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
I'm not a toddler, so he's not gonna hunt me,
which is nice toddlers only toddlers. So I get in there,
we have the baby, and then I go in the
kitchen to drop something. There's a random woman at the
island who I'm just like, oh hey, I'm Kaylin, and
she's doing up some sort of plans for you're redoing
something in your house.
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Yeah, I'm making a mudroom. So the one project I
want is a mudroom.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
When you walk in, so it's just organized, it looks good.
I bought something, is it not fit? Because I do
not measure. I don't have to redo this again.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:31):
So there's a random woman I meet and then Pauline
is like, well, of course we had to go somewhere,
and she's like, of course, I'm not ready yet. So
here's the baby and I'm like, good, I want this
baby immediately. Then we got one grandma coming over, beloved Marta,
who we all know. She comes on over. She's watching
the baby while we go. Then we got you know,
hobvy in and out. It's like a revolving door over there.
(18:52):
We go to where we need to go, we come back.
We got another grandma and a sister in law that
comes over. We're swapping the baby, the grandma's a swapping,
Paulina's got another party to go to. She's just it's
just there's a lot of chaos going on in that
house at all times.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
And I was just happy to see that, you know,
she's on brand. I can't tell if I would like
that or if I wouldn't like that. Like, sometimes I
think about what life would look like if I moved
to like more of a neighborhood, you know, and I
like knew my neighbors and and like people came and went,
and I, you know, I just wonder, like I've never
lived it's been twenty years, more than twenty years since
(19:28):
I've lived in the city where my family is.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
So like my family is whoever I make. It's you guys,
it's friends or whatever, but like no one's stopping by.
I don't really know my neighbors very well because a
lot of them aren't there very often.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
It's just like what my grandfather, for example, they used
to live on a street in Peoria, and I've told
the story before, but he had a hegerator in his
garage and all the neighbors had a garage door opener.
Or he would just open the garage when he got home,
and if the garage door was opened, that meant come
over with your cup and get and so people would
just camp out in his drive way almost every day
(20:01):
and drink beer. And I just wonder sometimes, like, do
you ever do you ever want to lock the door
and pretend like you're not in there so that it's
not you know, like an influx and outflux of people.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Honestly not right now.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
I think because of baby and because I know like
I want help and I need help. I love it,
but I feel like maybe one day we'll get there
when I'm gonna be like, all right, doors closed, you
know what I mean, shop is closed today, close side
of the door. Maybe, But right now I'm loving it,
like I want everyone to come in. My best friend Jonathan,
he's got the kids. I have a code key thing
at my door. I don't have a lock. I have
(20:35):
like oh yeah, right, yeah, my friends over there.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
There's always twenty people a construction project, yes, you know,
and we're live around.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yes to the audience.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
My best friend, I'm like, just come in, and so
now he just comes into, right.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
I love it. There was it was a lot.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
It was a good chaos, but it was cute and like,
I know your your mother in law slept there the
night before, but then she was back. We're treating the baby,
we're switching outfits.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
So like, I'm capable of being a a social person,
but sometimes I don't feel like talking. And when I
come sometimes I come in like almost every morning when
I walk in the building here at the radio studio,
there's a guy and he's been up all night work
in security, and he wants to talk, okay, and he's
got a ton of energy and he wants to talk.
And I love him for that, and I'm super grateful
(21:17):
that he's so kind, but like I don't want to
talk to him, Like I'm not awake yet, I haven't
had any coffee. It's five o'clock in the morning, like
I'm not. He yells at me, I'm not ready, And
a lot of times he pops up from the thing
scares me.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
That's why I take a back stare.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
But again, it's nothing personal.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's like there are just times in my life like
where I'm just not interested in And like if you
live in a high riser of folks that work there
and they're very kind, but they're looking at what you're
doing and who's coming with you and all that kind
of stuff, and that's just just sometimes I don't I
wish I could have complete and total privacy and autonomy.
But then other times I think, how cool would it
be to have a little community, like where like I
(21:55):
know a guy who he lives next door to two
or three of his buddies from when he grew up,
and like they, you know, in the summer, the grill
gets rolled out and like the chairs get rolled out
and they just sit there and drink and have a
great time, and the kids are running around and like
that sounds like fun. But like on a random Tuesday,
if I come home and like there are four guys
in my garage for in themselves beers, I'm.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Like, lose it.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I'm like, dude, get the hell out of my house.
But you can't be that way, I'm sure. So I
just wonder, like how how that is? Like sometimes I
would think it would be great to have a house
full of people, and then other times I would be like,
how do you tell people? Yeah, it's an open door,
but actually not right now.
Speaker 10 (22:30):
Yeah, it's a tough line because it's like, you know,
you want your privacy.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I know you want like your own space.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
That's why I go upstairs sometimes and I just, I
don't know, all sit in the toilet for like thirty
minutes just because I'm like, I just want to be
by myself.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Everyone's like, God, Paulina has really bad.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Right, Well get that checked out?
Speaker 8 (22:43):
Girl?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Do you have that? Kiki? Oh oh, I listen.
Speaker 5 (22:47):
I don't want to talk when I leave here to
anyone other than Instagram.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
God, I'm not the only one.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
My sister is the house. That's like probably in this house,
like everybody can just pull up. Is like an episode
of Martin. You never know who's going to walk in
being one of the characters that pulls up and walks
in and then you can leave.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Exactly because don't pop up at my house.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
That is one of my biggest Like don't don't stop by,
don't tell me in the neighborhood. I need forty eight
hours to have noticed before you come to my house.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
God, because people think I'm weird.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
But like, I don't like to talk a whole lot
once we leave Herede's not enough talking.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
It's just however, you werefel were yappers. Yeah, I'm a yeah,
I'm a yupper.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I want everyone around at all times.
Speaker 10 (23:27):
Well, you guys are welcome to come by anytime. I mean,
they're not the code of my door.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Come on in.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
And that makes me happy because I really thought, like
the whole time you were off, I was like, I
don't want to bother.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
Probably no, I don't want to bother.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I never want to be a bother because I feel
like somebody's always bothering me.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Maybe that's a problem. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
One day, if you get tired of it, just change
the door code. Everyone will be like I can't get in.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
I don't know, would have a pitch forks outside.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Like I can't get in? Like are you inside? Yeah,
we'll come open the door. No, no waiting by the phone.
