Speaker 1 (00:00):
A woman who was believed to be dead was breathing
at a funeral home in Nebraska and was still alive.
Funeral home staff was seen conducting CPR and a woman
who was taken to a local hospital. The woman was
identified as a seventy four year old lady named Constance.
Was declared dead at the nursing home, so she was
in a hospice. They called a family, They're like, you're hey,
(00:21):
your loved one's dead. Turned out she was not dead.
She was still alive. No signs of criminal intent by
the nursing home, but the investigation is still ongoing. At last,
they're calling it a very unusual case. Can you imagine that, shady?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That's my biggest fear.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh my god, you.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Get the call, hey, you know me, mo has passed away.
We're very sorry. And then you go down there and
Mema was like walking around the place to playing pool
or whatever I mean, you know, hooking up with her
friend nestor you know, whatever whatever happens in these old
folks home. That's your biggest fear is what they pronounce
you dead and bury you but you're not.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, Like I fear waking up in a casket like
I'm awake and I can't get the top, I can't
pop the trunk. I'm locked in there. And because they
thought I was dead, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We'll just go to the go to the graveyard where
your where your mom is, and they'll just well they
move the headstone so you'll be able to get out easily.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah. Maybe I won't even be down there. I don't
know what's down there.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Just grab your phone on because you know you're gonna
have your phone on you and just go live.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, you're right, you're right inside.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Do you know that this is no joke? You are
You and my mom are the same person.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
My mom wants to be buried with magazines and a
cell phone in addition to all of the animals, all
of our animals. She wants them like either either mixed
together or put with her, like their ashes in the
casket with her. I think now she wants to be cremated.
But this is not a joke, like she was very serious.
I want a cell phone and magazines because if I
(01:47):
wake up, Yep, I need something to do while y'all
dig me up. Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
This is I'm not even kidding about it, and that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And now I'm thinking of cremation because I if I
just make it done, like even if I'm not all
the way done, just go ahead and finish me, because
I don't want to wake up and I'm in this
box and I can't get out.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And it's because it sounds worse, Kiki. It sounds worse
if you're not all the way done and then they
cremate you. It's then you're done.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's over with. She was almost there, she's just fully
there now, right, Rather that than me wake up just
in this hot box and I can't get out and
nobody knows.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
What you're okay with?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You waking up in a in a real hot box
that's a lot hotter for.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Three seconds is over Christy, Risty, you know what I know.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I mean I could use a tan, but I don't
know about this much tan. Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, No, that's what my mom's like, Well, what if
I wake up? I'm like, Mom, I'm gonna first of all,
you're not going anywhere for a long time. But if
when you do, we're going to make sure that nobody
puts you anywhere, you know, unless you've already gone to heaven.
But no, she wants magazines and the cell phone. So
that's a real thing. Like how long do I have
to pay for this cell phone? Helen does have to
have to provide service to this six months a year?
(03:04):
Is it prepaid? I mean, can you get service down? Can't?
I don't write, but that's wild. Sorry she's dead. No,
we're just kidding. She's not actually back.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's like we're writing in our diaries, except we say
them aloud. We call the blogs Paulina Row. Yes, the birthday,
the post birthday girl, Yeah, post birthday, I take it away.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
She had a birthday, Thank you so much, dear blog. So,
as you guys know, I do have a little daughter.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I have a daughter.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
As a Teresa Judy, she would say daughters, I can't
even say it right. But anyways, I have a daughter
and her name is Gabriella. She's two months old. And
one thing that I want to do, and I've been
thinking about it for some time now, is I would
really like to pierce her ears. Controversial, I understand, rightfully,
So is it?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Extremely? I think?
Speaker 7 (03:57):
So?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, which is wild.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
So like I had my ears pierce when I was
I'm not even being funny, like five days old.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Maybe my mom button like.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Stop now, stop it. I was picturing that. Yeah, I
don't know. I want to do it. I want to
pirace my daughter's ears.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
But and I had my ears piers too, and everything,
and even like culturally, like my daughter's Mexican and Polish
and both sides, like that's very common. It's super common.
So I was like, okay, you know, we're more onto something.
But of course her dad does not want that. I'm
not surprised, right, He's kind of like let her get
older type thing. And I thought my mom would ride
for me. And yesterday she told me, don't do it,
(04:49):
wait till she's at least a year. Her argument is
that the clothes that you take off of their like
from their head, like we'll get caught in the earring
whenies and stuff. Oh yeah, and like then they cry.
It's a whole production. And I'm I want to do
that to her. I don't want to hurt her. And
I know even piercing her ears could potentially, you know,
cause her temporary pain.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But I think I would rather as an infant, Like,
I think I would rather you do it.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I don't remember it, you don't remember, It'll be so temporary.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I want to put cute ear rings on her
and stuff.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I mean, I had my ears pierce, and but then
there's the argument of let her make that choice herself.
Right when she's a little bit older and understands what
an earring is, maybe then she'll tell me if she
wants her ears.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Pierce, then I'll take her. But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I feel like I want to do it now, but
everyone's like fighting me at home about it. I'm the
only one that wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I say, do it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
My nieces got theirs done when they were infants, literally, yeah,
both of them.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, stee.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I understand it's a cultural thing, but I mean you're
mean if that's what you want, I mean, you're the mom,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, I want to do it.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I just it sucks because I'm always like going back
and forth with Hobby, my husband about it, and I
don't want to, like not agree, because I don't want
to be those parents that like fight over things. I'd
rather be on the same page. Although we want to
affection though, like what is he.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I don't mean to say it's like to be rude,
but like, what why does he get a vote? I
mean he's a vocus as his kid, But like he does,
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
What's what's he upset about.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I honestly have no idea.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
He just wants her to be a little bit older,
maybe wait a couple of years so she could feel
all that pain.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, let let's make her feel this. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know how old were you.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I was a baby, and to be honest, I don't
remember any.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Of the pain.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I can't tell you a lot of other things
happened in my life the cause pain, but that particular thing,
I don't remember any of the pain. And I think
it's so cute when you see the little girl, Yes, babies,
they have the little bitty's studs.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
In their ears. You ain't putting on this?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, maybe I don't know, why not my baby? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean the only experience I have, I guess is
my sister, and she was she's eight years younger. So
there's a lot of that stuff I wasn't there for.
But I also feel like my dad had objections to
things that there were Again, I don't mean to say
that a father doesn't get a vote in what happens
to his own child, but like he had a male
perspective objection to things that involved, you know, things that
(07:06):
my mom would understand better I think than heat or
I would. And I think this is like a whole
range of topics that you could say, you know, I
don't know, you look at it from male perspective, and
you I'm not saying you sexualize it, but I don't know.
There's just there's just things that like we don't understand
as men that women do. And I don't necessarily know
that I should get a vote in what's best for
(07:26):
my daughter if my wife feels a certain kind of
way about it. And again that's not to say I
don't get a vote. That's not to say that men
don't get a vote in their children's you know, what
happens to their children. But there are certain things that
I think you would have a better You would have
more clarity on her that you've experienced or that you know,
you know, you understand better as a woman than he
(07:46):
might as a man.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
I get that completely, and I think that pertains more
to like the topics when she's older, right, like when
she comes to me for certain things, clothing, clothing, you know,
when you know when things happen when you get older
as a woman.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I feel like with this, he does have a right
because that is his kid, you know. And then he's
gonna see the ears Pierce, I can't lie. They're right
there if I get him done.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I just feel like that's something I feel strongly about,
like I really want to do it.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
It's it's funny how your mom is against it, but
she did it to you.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
God, He's like, no, the clothes might get caught on.
I was screaming three months old. It was okay, yeah, No.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
The things that she says now that she's so funny
that she would like things that she did with me
she would never do with the baby.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Well, I see.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's the whole revision is history thing too, right. My
mom remembers things it never happened, They never happened, happened,
or they happened completely differently than the way she remembers
him now. First, and she'll call me later and be
like it's true, it's totally true, Calin have any thoughts
on this?
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Yeah, I mean I I think that it should be
up to the individual parents. So that's why I'm not
giving my opinion. I got mine piers when I was seven.
I asked for them to be Pierce. But I think
whatever your parents are into, yeah you know, yeah, I
think it's yours. But I do think it's there is
things in milestones with girls, little girls that it is
like interesting to hear the dad's perspective, like my dad
(09:07):
didn't want me to shave my legs super early on.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And the kind of stuff I'm talking about, Like I
don't know, and I don't I don't know what I'm
talking about, but I know there are certain you know,
clothing items or bras.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Or makeup is a big save up.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Or legs shaving or whatever else. It's like, why do
I get a voted? I really I can care, But
I also don't know what it's like to be a woman,
so I don't. I don't know that my perspective matters
as much as hers does.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Right, it does feel odd to have your dad like
weigh in on that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Brother Italian, hi Ellen, good morning.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's like yo, you hey, maybe he does.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Maybe that's why he said, no, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
What do you think Ellen?
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Oh? I well, first of all, anything about bringing up
a baby's controversial, Like literally every single thing you do
is going to offend somebody or somebody's gonna haven opinion
about it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And the ear piercing.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
My daughter's turning seven, and she's super excited to like
phone her body and make that choice. And when she
was little, like I couldn't there to like pierce her
a little perfect little body, you know, like that's just
how I felt. She's just so perfect and I didn't
want to ruin, you know, hurt her in any way.
(10:25):
But yeah, now she's like deciding what she wants to do,
where she wants to go and pick out her ear rings,
and and your mom's right about like it's getting snagged
on stuff. So I mean there's a lot of pros
and cons of ear piercing. Okay, yeah, I think whatever
you want to do, you know, well.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
For sure party does, Harvey doesn't get a vote. Whatever.
Thank you, Ellen, by the way, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I don't know Mave does, and I don't think Polly does,
and I don't I guess I don't know why. But
I suppose if it's something that is there's no objection to,
and it's gonna happen anyway, then I guess I would
rather that it happened when for me, if it were me,
I would rather have When I'm a baby, I can't remember,
like Kicky said, as it supposed to going to you know,
(11:15):
the mall at thirteen and some teenager with a gun
comes out.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know that, you know that the the Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
I was at Claire's and I saw a girl's chunk
of her ear fly right into the clothes.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'm like, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Know, sorry, so sorry, but I'll never forget that. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I don't know about all that, so we'll see. But
anyway you think you're gonna are you gonna override him
on this?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I think so. Someone said pick and choose your battles.
That's my everyday life. But I think this is one
I'm gonna do. I feel strongly about it, and I
want her to have her earspirs. I want to put
cute earrings on her, maybe some hoops, get a hole downstairs,
let's just girl get her ear spears. That's right, I
was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You're pretty good at trading is one thing for another,
so I'm not gonna make that parallel. But let's just
I think you'll figure it out to say, oh, going
after Superna carpet during two minutes fread.

So deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to
a call at about six pm about a nine year
old boy with autism named Elijah who was missing, having
slipped away from his family's home without his parents' knowledge.
So the officers were able to locate the child within
two hours of the report with the help of safety Net,
a geolocation technology that helps them track and find missing
(13:41):
and endangered people, particularly people with cognitive disorders. So they
found Elijah sitting in the bed of a truck, but
he didn't want to go home, and he kept telling
them and he needed.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
A tire for his bike. That's when one of the
officers struck up a deal.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
He told him, if you promise to stop running away
and you show me where your bike is at home,
I will blow up the.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Air for you on your tire.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
I guess it had gone out and he just kept repeating,
I need a bike tire, I need a bike tire.
And then the officer asked, you wear a helmet. He said,
I don't wear a helmet. The officer said, okay, I'm
going to buy you a helmet. I am going to
fix your bike. We're gonna shake on it, and you're
going to promise that you're not going to run away
as much from home or ever again. So they shook
on it and there's really sweet video and photos of.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Taking him home.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
They fix his bike, they bought him a helmet and
he hasn't run away since.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
So sweet do you think of good? That is sweet?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Ye groom surprised his bride on their wedding day with
a very special ring bear. It was a penguin. Oh
he got a penguin. What the dud's name is? Joe?
He arranged for four special guests for the ceremony where
he tied the knot in England last month. His wife's
now wife's name is Carrie. Has always been penguin obsessed.
She was over the moon when she first spotted the
(14:55):
feathered bird walking in beside the best man. Because they
do have feathers. By the way, penguins have feathers. Doesn't
really look like it when you look at it, penguin,
I got feathers though. Anyway, he paid two grand to
have the penguins at ten for two hours. I guess
there's a company called Amazing Animals that has a wildlife
for movies and TV and it's a charity as well,
(15:18):
and they raise money. But yeah, she wanted a penguin
at the wedding as the ring bear. And it had
like a little necklace the penguin did, and his little
little wings, little arms, flattening tuxedo and he had a
tuxedo one already, a built in tuxedo.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I thought it was very sweet. The photos are awesome too.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Waiting by the phone from the vault after Teddy swims
in two minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Fred Show, The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun fact.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Fred fun so much.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
All right, guys, did you know that the smell? Okay,
you know the smell when they cut the grass? Yes,
my favorite fresh cut grass. What No, he loves cutting
grind dude. Yeah, he's like he thinks about it. I
know from time to.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Time, I do at least twice a week for my grass.
Twice a week. It's not even long.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
How you know I cut my grass and I don't
think my grass grows lots lower.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Than you ever look up on YouTube and stuff like
how to make it look like real neat like the
baseball fields and stuff, because there's way.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah striping, Yeah, I don't have one of I need
one of those weights to make it strike.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
You need a weight to do that.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, it's like a it's like a weighted It's like
a tube with sand in it and it weighs it.
It's it's mainly the sun reflecting on the grass.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah. I wouldn't make this stripe bonus fun fast. Yeah
I did not know this. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I feel like if I had a house, I would
obsess over stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I do. Yeah, I would be like, my yard has
looked the best of all the yards. Mine's not even
mine's like third best on the block.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh, we don't do third place around here. However, here
is the fact, you guys, did you know the smell
of fresh cut grass is actually a distress signal. Plants
release a chemical when they're being cut, like they're in danger.
(17:14):
A little blade of grass, let's the smell out because
you cut it because it's wow, just messed up my
bad grass. Yeah, so that's actually why it smells good
because the grass is like.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Hold, no, no, no, no, you know small poor grass.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, poor grass.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well you gotta go, but yeah, you gotta di sorry.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
As Also, what when you cut the grass, like if
you mulch in the summertime, the grass helps the current
grass grow like the clippings.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Okay, it has all the nutrients to grow.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's a sacrifice. Yeah, the new grass, Yeah you got more.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Fresh show next.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
They talk better than they about it. These are the
radio blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm friend. You get what you get, period ship. You
get what I give you. That's it, Kiki, Yeah, they
get what you give them.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like right now your blog audio journal, like for writing
in our diaries.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Take it away, dear blog.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So I need some advice because I'm noticing that I
always judge people when they say it's so hard to
make friends as an adult. I was like, what how
you know? Until I actually have started trying to make
friends as an adult, It is kind of weird. It's awkward,
and you know, as a person who walks into every
(18:43):
situation with the like I want to be besties. Like
I come into every situation like yes, it's best friend,
let's do it. Yes, friend, and some people just don't
want to be your friend. And it's like you know
what you what am I supposed to do with that?
It's so like because you want to be your friend,
Well it's not like one person in particular, but it's like, Okay,
it's a new group that I'm getting involved with at church,
(19:05):
and like it's a bunch of new people coming together.
None of us know each other from like past, we
have no past history together. Everybody's just coming together, and
so I'm noticing that, Like I feel like I'm putting
an effort in to be a friend, but I'm not
necessarily getting that back exactly from certain people. And it's
like I don't know what. We don't have any history,
so like what what's not to enjoy? I don't know.
(19:28):
But you know, just because I think I'm a good
time doesn't mean that other people I gotta think that
I'm a good time. But as an adult, like how
do you truly make friends with somebody if you don't
have like we don't have to work together, you don't
have to talk to one another.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I think it is hard to make friends as a girl. Yeah,
well you do it at church. I hear you do
it like in sports leagues. Join like a sports league. Okay,
that kind of thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
But like, if you're in any situation where you don't
have to talk or don't have to interact with somebody,
how do you truly build a relationship Because I feel
like a lot of our relationships in in my lack
and speak for me, are work related. A lot of
my friends we've met through this journey of work, or
a lot of friends I've met from high school or
from college, and it's like, okay, outside of that, what
(20:10):
real friends have I just met along the way? And
how do you become friends with somebody if they don't see.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I feel like the majority of my good friends here
we're all friends before and I just injected myself and
their friend group because we all did charity work together. Okay,
and now I call them my friends, but they're really
they were friends like for twenty years before me. Yeah,
so I'm the outsider, okay, but then I just now
they're my friends.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But it's hard.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
No, it's hard because people, I think, as you grow up,
you know, people, they get married, they have kids, and
families in the circles become they become focused and other stuff,
and it can be harder to schedule times to meet
with new people and out with new people, and so
you wind up hanging out with the same folks. And yeah, no,
I think it's because when you're younger and you're in
school or you know whatever. I don't know, and everyone's
(20:55):
single and sort of and there are children involved, I
think people can are more flexible. And you're right now,
it's hard to figure out, like who wants to hang
out with me?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Right? And what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm a low maintenance friend, Like I don't need you
to call me every day. I don't need to go
we don't need to go out all the time. But like,
I just want to know what's not to like, what
are you not liking? I don't know, am I doing it?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Like tell me if it's something that I'm doing or
somebody told you or it's just weird. And I'm just like,
I cannot think for the life of me, why this
person is not excited to be friends You probably you think.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I find that as the guy, as the man who
is single with no children. I don't get invited to
a lot of stuff because people are like, well it's
couples and so you would would be the odd man out.
Or it's couples and kids and you don't have either,
So like, do you really want to come to my kids, you.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Know, third birthday party?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And no, not really, but like if it's the only
way that I'm going to see all you guys, then yeah,
then I want to go. But I think what happens is,
you know, people move away and they and live lives change,
and if yours doesn't change along with them, then you
kind of wind up getting excluded. And I don't think
it's on purpose. I hate that, it's just it just
is though. But you're the you have a husband and
(22:17):
a kid, so you're gonna get included in a lot
of that stuff and I don't.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
But I better be included in girls' night and single
ladies hitting the street night.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Like I still want to do everything that.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
You know, the old me would do as well, because
I cherish my friendships like I do water them. It's hard,
it's hard work, but to me, it's like super important
because like all my friends are on different levels.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Everybody's different living it for different life.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I think you're going to find the way as you
get older. There's less and less of the just lose
fun socializing. There's and it takes a little more effort
to make it happen. I mean, try and plant something
on this show. And we're all friends, and we all
like each other and we want to hang out with
each other. But try and from try and find one
day that all of us can do the same thing
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's very true.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
So it's really hard to do, and I think that
is a factor.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It is hard.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I mean, as a.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Forty year old man, there aren't a lot of other
forty year old men out there that are just like
chilling that are and I don't plan very well. So
like Friday at five o'clock, I know the group of
guys and where they're going to be, and I know
where to find them. But it's the same guys, and
they're guys who are just like me, single with nothing
else to do. But if I try and call one
of my married buddies at Friday at four o'clock and go,
what are you doing, They're like, y'all see the month
(23:22):
right when I can, you know, clear with my wife.
You know, how about how about six fridays from now?
I'm like, I don't say fridays from now, might be
something will still come.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Up and exactly you got to cut your grass like this?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah you found you found this too, though, haven't your roof?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't have any friends.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I have like one or two friends, and then you guys, Oh,
I mean I just have my family.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Are my friends?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
You know?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Same?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's just I think people's prayer around. I don't think
it's personal. I think it's just life is hard and
it takes a lot of effort, and when you're working
and you have kids and you have other you know,
projects and other things going on, then you, I don't know,
maybe you're just like it's just one more thing you
have to do.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
And I don't think it's personal.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah no, yeah, I mean everyone's everyone's lives are different
people you know, something's changed, and some people just stay
the same and you just go. You just that friendship
runs its course and sometimes it's done. Have you tried
talking to that person likes something in common with the
person you're talking.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'll try to bring up conversation and it's just like
it's not clicking. It's just not clicking. And I'm like,
I love making friends. I don't get on that. They
got that bumble thing. I'm not that desperate, not friends.
People get on that for friends. She don't have big
Tim as a friend. Yeah, what is exactly in my roommate.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That pays half the bills? What is the entertainment report?
Is next friend show?
A woman who was believed to be dead was breathing
at a funeral home in Nebraska and was still alive.
Funeral home staff was seen conducting CPR and a woman
who was taken to a local hospital. The woman was
identified as a seventy four year old lady named Constance.
Was declared dead at the nursing home, so she was
in a hospice. They called a family, They're like, you're hey,
(00:21):
your loved one's dead. Turned out she was not dead.
She was still alive. No signs of criminal intent by
the nursing home, but the investigation is still ongoing. At last,
they're calling it a very unusual case. Can you imagine that, shady?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That's my biggest fear.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
Oh my god, you.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Get the call, hey, you know me, mo has passed away.
We're very sorry. And then you go down there and
Mema was like walking around the place to playing pool
or whatever I mean, you know, hooking up with her
friend nestor you know, whatever whatever happens in these old
folks home. That's your biggest fear is what they pronounce
you dead and bury you but you're not.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, Like I fear waking up in a casket like
I'm awake and I can't get the top, I can't
pop the trunk. I'm locked in there. And because they
thought I was dead, that's that's.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We'll just go to the go to the graveyard where
your where your mom is, and they'll just well they
move the headstone so you'll be able to get out easily.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah. Maybe I won't even be down there. I don't
know what's down there.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Just grab your phone on because you know you're gonna
have your phone on you and just go live.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Oh, you're right, you're right inside.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Do you know that this is no joke? You are
You and my mom are the same person.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
My mom wants to be buried with magazines and a
cell phone in addition to all of the animals, all
of our animals. She wants them like either either mixed
together or put with her, like their ashes in the
casket with her. I think now she wants to be cremated.
But this is not a joke, like she was very serious.
I want a cell phone and magazines because if I
(01:47):
wake up, Yep, I need something to do while y'all
dig me up. Yep.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
This is I'm not even kidding about it, and that's brilliant.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
And now I'm thinking of cremation because I if I
just make it done, like even if I'm not all
the way done, just go ahead and finish me, because
I don't want to wake up and I'm in this
box and I can't get out.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And it's because it sounds worse, Kiki. It sounds worse
if you're not all the way done and then they
cremate you. It's then you're done.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
It's over with. She was almost there, she's just fully
there now, right, Rather that than me wake up just
in this hot box and I can't get out and
nobody knows.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
What you're okay with?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
You waking up in a in a real hot box
that's a lot hotter for.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Three seconds is over Christy, Risty, you know what I know.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I mean I could use a tan, but I don't
know about this much tan. Wow.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, No, that's what my mom's like, Well, what if
I wake up? I'm like, Mom, I'm gonna first of all,
you're not going anywhere for a long time. But if
when you do, we're going to make sure that nobody
puts you anywhere, you know, unless you've already gone to heaven.
But no, she wants magazines and the cell phone. So
that's a real thing. Like how long do I have
to pay for this cell phone? Helen does have to
have to provide service to this six months a year?
(03:04):
Is it prepaid? I mean, can you get service down? Can't?
I don't write, but that's wild. Sorry she's dead. No,
we're just kidding. She's not actually back.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
It's like we're writing in our diaries, except we say
them aloud. We call the blogs Paulina Row. Yes, the birthday,
the post birthday girl, Yeah, post birthday, I take it away.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
She had a birthday, Thank you so much, dear blog. So,
as you guys know, I do have a little daughter.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I have a daughter.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
As a Teresa Judy, she would say daughters, I can't
even say it right. But anyways, I have a daughter
and her name is Gabriella. She's two months old. And
one thing that I want to do, and I've been
thinking about it for some time now, is I would
really like to pierce her ears. Controversial, I understand, rightfully,
So is it?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Extremely? I think?
Speaker 7 (03:57):
So?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, which is wild.
Speaker 6 (03:59):
So like I had my ears pierce when I was
I'm not even being funny, like five days old.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Maybe my mom button like.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Stop now, stop it. I was picturing that. Yeah, I
don't know. I want to do it. I want to
pirace my daughter's ears.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
But and I had my ears piers too, and everything,
and even like culturally, like my daughter's Mexican and Polish
and both sides, like that's very common. It's super common.
So I was like, okay, you know, we're more onto something.
But of course her dad does not want that. I'm
not surprised, right, He's kind of like let her get
older type thing. And I thought my mom would ride
for me. And yesterday she told me, don't do it,
(04:49):
wait till she's at least a year. Her argument is
that the clothes that you take off of their like
from their head, like we'll get caught in the earring
whenies and stuff. Oh yeah, and like then they cry.
It's a whole production. And I'm I want to do
that to her. I don't want to hurt her. And
I know even piercing her ears could potentially, you know,
cause her temporary pain.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
But I think I would rather as an infant, Like,
I think I would rather you do it.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I don't remember it, you don't remember, It'll be so temporary.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
And I want to put cute ear rings on her
and stuff.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
I mean, I had my ears pierce, and but then
there's the argument of let her make that choice herself.
Right when she's a little bit older and understands what
an earring is, maybe then she'll tell me if she
wants her ears.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Pierce, then I'll take her. But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
I feel like I want to do it now, but
everyone's like fighting me at home about it. I'm the
only one that wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I say, do it.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
My nieces got theirs done when they were infants, literally, yeah,
both of them.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, stee.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I understand it's a cultural thing, but I mean you're
mean if that's what you want, I mean, you're the mom,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, I want to do it.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
I just it sucks because I'm always like going back
and forth with Hobby, my husband about it, and I
don't want to, like not agree, because I don't want
to be those parents that like fight over things. I'd
rather be on the same page. Although we want to
affection though, like what is he.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I don't mean to say it's like to be rude,
but like, what why does he get a vote? I
mean he's a vocus as his kid, But like he does,
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
What's what's he upset about.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I honestly have no idea.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
He just wants her to be a little bit older,
maybe wait a couple of years so she could feel
all that pain.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Yeah, let let's make her feel this. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I don't know how old were you.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I was a baby, and to be honest, I don't
remember any.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Of the pain.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, I can't tell you a lot of other things
happened in my life the cause pain, but that particular thing,
I don't remember any of the pain. And I think
it's so cute when you see the little girl, Yes, babies,
they have the little bitty's studs.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
In their ears. You ain't putting on this?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Well, maybe I don't know, why not my baby? I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I mean the only experience I have, I guess is
my sister, and she was she's eight years younger. So
there's a lot of that stuff I wasn't there for.
But I also feel like my dad had objections to
things that there were Again, I don't mean to say
that a father doesn't get a vote in what happens
to his own child, but like he had a male
perspective objection to things that involved, you know, things that
(07:06):
my mom would understand better I think than heat or
I would. And I think this is like a whole
range of topics that you could say, you know, I
don't know, you look at it from male perspective, and
you I'm not saying you sexualize it, but I don't know.
There's just there's just things that like we don't understand
as men that women do. And I don't necessarily know
that I should get a vote in what's best for
(07:26):
my daughter if my wife feels a certain kind of
way about it. And again that's not to say I
don't get a vote. That's not to say that men
don't get a vote in their children's you know, what
happens to their children. But there are certain things that
I think you would have a better You would have
more clarity on her that you've experienced or that you know,
you know, you understand better as a woman than he
(07:46):
might as a man.
Speaker 6 (07:48):
I get that completely, and I think that pertains more
to like the topics when she's older, right, like when
she comes to me for certain things, clothing, clothing, you know,
when you know when things happen when you get older
as a woman.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I feel like with this, he does have a right
because that is his kid, you know. And then he's
gonna see the ears Pierce, I can't lie. They're right
there if I get him done.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
I just feel like that's something I feel strongly about,
like I really want to do it.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
It's it's funny how your mom is against it, but
she did it to you.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
God, He's like, no, the clothes might get caught on.
I was screaming three months old. It was okay, yeah, No.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
The things that she says now that she's so funny
that she would like things that she did with me
she would never do with the baby.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Well, I see.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
It's the whole revision is history thing too, right. My
mom remembers things it never happened, They never happened, happened,
or they happened completely differently than the way she remembers
him now. First, and she'll call me later and be
like it's true, it's totally true, Calin have any thoughts
on this?
Speaker 8 (08:47):
Yeah, I mean I I think that it should be
up to the individual parents. So that's why I'm not
giving my opinion. I got mine piers when I was seven.
I asked for them to be Pierce. But I think
whatever your parents are into, yeah you know, yeah, I
think it's yours. But I do think it's there is
things in milestones with girls, little girls that it is
like interesting to hear the dad's perspective, like my dad
(09:07):
didn't want me to shave my legs super early on.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
And the kind of stuff I'm talking about, Like I
don't know, and I don't I don't know what I'm
talking about, but I know there are certain you know,
clothing items or bras.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Or makeup is a big save up.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Or legs shaving or whatever else. It's like, why do
I get a voted? I really I can care, But
I also don't know what it's like to be a woman,
so I don't. I don't know that my perspective matters
as much as hers does.
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Right, it does feel odd to have your dad like
weigh in on that stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Brother Italian, hi Ellen, good morning.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
It's like yo, you hey, maybe he does.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Maybe that's why he said, no, Yeah, good morning.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
What do you think Ellen?
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Oh? I well, first of all, anything about bringing up
a baby's controversial, Like literally every single thing you do
is going to offend somebody or somebody's gonna haven opinion
about it.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And the ear piercing.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
My daughter's turning seven, and she's super excited to like
phone her body and make that choice. And when she
was little, like I couldn't there to like pierce her
a little perfect little body, you know, like that's just
how I felt. She's just so perfect and I didn't
want to ruin, you know, hurt her in any way.
(10:25):
But yeah, now she's like deciding what she wants to do,
where she wants to go and pick out her ear rings,
and and your mom's right about like it's getting snagged
on stuff. So I mean there's a lot of pros
and cons of ear piercing. Okay, yeah, I think whatever
you want to do, you know, well.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
For sure party does, Harvey doesn't get a vote. Whatever.
Thank you, Ellen, by the way, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
I don't know Mave does, and I don't think Polly does,
and I don't I guess I don't know why. But
I suppose if it's something that is there's no objection to,
and it's gonna happen anyway, then I guess I would
rather that it happened when for me, if it were me,
I would rather have When I'm a baby, I can't remember,
like Kicky said, as it supposed to going to you know,
(11:15):
the mall at thirteen and some teenager with a gun
comes out.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
You know that, you know that the the Oh my god.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
I was at Claire's and I saw a girl's chunk
of her ear fly right into the clothes.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
I'm like, oh, I.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Know, sorry, so sorry, but I'll never forget that. I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I don't know about all that, so we'll see. But
anyway you think you're gonna are you gonna override him
on this?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I think so. Someone said pick and choose your battles.
That's my everyday life. But I think this is one
I'm gonna do. I feel strongly about it, and I
want her to have her earspirs. I want to put
cute earrings on her, maybe some hoops, get a hole downstairs,
let's just girl get her ear spears. That's right, I
was gonna say.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You're pretty good at trading is one thing for another,
so I'm not gonna make that parallel. But let's just
I think you'll figure it out to say, oh, going
after Superna carpet during two minutes fread.
Speaker 3 (12:02):

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I quit. That's right. Good news, happy stories every day,
calyin what you got.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
So deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office responded to
a call at about six pm about a nine year
old boy with autism named Elijah who was missing, having
slipped away from his family's home without his parents' knowledge.
So the officers were able to locate the child within
two hours of the report with the help of safety Net,
a geolocation technology that helps them track and find missing
(13:41):
and endangered people, particularly people with cognitive disorders. So they
found Elijah sitting in the bed of a truck, but
he didn't want to go home, and he kept telling
them and he needed.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
A tire for his bike. That's when one of the
officers struck up a deal.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
He told him, if you promise to stop running away
and you show me where your bike is at home,
I will blow up the.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Air for you on your tire.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
I guess it had gone out and he just kept repeating,
I need a bike tire, I need a bike tire.
And then the officer asked, you wear a helmet. He said,
I don't wear a helmet. The officer said, okay, I'm
going to buy you a helmet. I am going to
fix your bike. We're gonna shake on it, and you're
going to promise that you're not going to run away
as much from home or ever again. So they shook
on it and there's really sweet video and photos of.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Taking him home.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
They fix his bike, they bought him a helmet and
he hasn't run away since.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
So sweet do you think of good? That is sweet?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Ye groom surprised his bride on their wedding day with
a very special ring bear. It was a penguin. Oh
he got a penguin. What the dud's name is? Joe?
He arranged for four special guests for the ceremony where
he tied the knot in England last month. His wife's
now wife's name is Carrie. Has always been penguin obsessed.
She was over the moon when she first spotted the
(14:55):
feathered bird walking in beside the best man. Because they
do have feathers. By the way, penguins have feathers. Doesn't
really look like it when you look at it, penguin,
I got feathers though. Anyway, he paid two grand to
have the penguins at ten for two hours. I guess
there's a company called Amazing Animals that has a wildlife
for movies and TV and it's a charity as well,
(15:18):
and they raise money. But yeah, she wanted a penguin
at the wedding as the ring bear. And it had
like a little necklace the penguin did, and his little
little wings, little arms, flattening tuxedo and he had a
tuxedo one already, a built in tuxedo.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
I thought it was very sweet. The photos are awesome too.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Waiting by the phone from the vault after Teddy swims
in two minutes.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Fred Show, The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun fact.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
Fred fun so much.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
All right, guys, did you know that the smell? Okay,
you know the smell when they cut the grass? Yes,
my favorite fresh cut grass. What No, he loves cutting
grind dude. Yeah, he's like he thinks about it. I
know from time to.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Time, I do at least twice a week for my grass.
Twice a week. It's not even long.
Speaker 6 (16:13):
How you know I cut my grass and I don't
think my grass grows lots lower.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Than you ever look up on YouTube and stuff like
how to make it look like real neat like the
baseball fields and stuff, because there's way.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah striping, Yeah, I don't have one of I need
one of those weights to make it strike.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
You need a weight to do that.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, it's like a it's like a weighted It's like
a tube with sand in it and it weighs it.
It's it's mainly the sun reflecting on the grass.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Yeah. I wouldn't make this stripe bonus fun fast. Yeah
I did not know this. Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
I feel like if I had a house, I would
obsess over stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
I do. Yeah, I would be like, my yard has
looked the best of all the yards. Mine's not even
mine's like third best on the block.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Oh, we don't do third place around here. However, here
is the fact, you guys, did you know the smell
of fresh cut grass is actually a distress signal. Plants
release a chemical when they're being cut, like they're in danger.
(17:14):
A little blade of grass, let's the smell out because
you cut it because it's wow, just messed up my
bad grass. Yeah, so that's actually why it smells good
because the grass is like.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Hold, no, no, no, no, you know small poor grass.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, poor grass.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Well you gotta go, but yeah, you gotta di sorry.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
As Also, what when you cut the grass, like if
you mulch in the summertime, the grass helps the current
grass grow like the clippings.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Okay, it has all the nutrients to grow.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's a sacrifice. Yeah, the new grass, Yeah you got more.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Fresh show next.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
They talk better than they about it. These are the
radio blogs on the Fred Show.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm friend. You get what you get, period ship. You
get what I give you. That's it, Kiki, Yeah, they
get what you give them.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Like right now your blog audio journal, like for writing
in our diaries.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Take it away, dear blog.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
So I need some advice because I'm noticing that I
always judge people when they say it's so hard to
make friends as an adult. I was like, what how
you know? Until I actually have started trying to make
friends as an adult, It is kind of weird. It's awkward,
and you know, as a person who walks into every
(18:43):
situation with the like I want to be besties. Like
I come into every situation like yes, it's best friend,
let's do it. Yes, friend, and some people just don't
want to be your friend. And it's like you know
what you what am I supposed to do with that?
It's so like because you want to be your friend,
Well it's not like one person in particular, but it's like, Okay,
it's a new group that I'm getting involved with at church,
(19:05):
and like it's a bunch of new people coming together.
None of us know each other from like past, we
have no past history together. Everybody's just coming together, and
so I'm noticing that, Like I feel like I'm putting
an effort in to be a friend, but I'm not
necessarily getting that back exactly from certain people. And it's
like I don't know what. We don't have any history,
so like what what's not to enjoy? I don't know.
(19:28):
But you know, just because I think I'm a good
time doesn't mean that other people I gotta think that
I'm a good time. But as an adult, like how
do you truly make friends with somebody if you don't
have like we don't have to work together, you don't
have to talk to one another.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
I think it is hard to make friends as a girl. Yeah,
well you do it at church. I hear you do
it like in sports leagues. Join like a sports league. Okay,
that kind of thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
But like, if you're in any situation where you don't
have to talk or don't have to interact with somebody,
how do you truly build a relationship Because I feel
like a lot of our relationships in in my lack
and speak for me, are work related. A lot of
my friends we've met through this journey of work, or
a lot of friends I've met from high school or
from college, and it's like, okay, outside of that, what
(20:10):
real friends have I just met along the way? And
how do you become friends with somebody if they don't see.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
I feel like the majority of my good friends here
we're all friends before and I just injected myself and
their friend group because we all did charity work together. Okay,
and now I call them my friends, but they're really
they were friends like for twenty years before me. Yeah,
so I'm the outsider, okay, but then I just now
they're my friends.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
But it's hard.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
No, it's hard because people, I think, as you grow up,
you know, people, they get married, they have kids, and
families in the circles become they become focused and other stuff,
and it can be harder to schedule times to meet
with new people and out with new people, and so
you wind up hanging out with the same folks. And yeah, no,
I think it's because when you're younger and you're in
school or you know whatever. I don't know, and everyone's
(20:55):
single and sort of and there are children involved, I
think people can are more flexible. And you're right now,
it's hard to figure out, like who wants to hang
out with me?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Right? And what are we gonna do?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm a low maintenance friend, Like I don't need you
to call me every day. I don't need to go
we don't need to go out all the time. But like,
I just want to know what's not to like, what
are you not liking? I don't know, am I doing it?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know?
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Like tell me if it's something that I'm doing or
somebody told you or it's just weird. And I'm just like,
I cannot think for the life of me, why this
person is not excited to be friends You probably you think.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
So.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I find that as the guy, as the man who
is single with no children. I don't get invited to
a lot of stuff because people are like, well it's
couples and so you would would be the odd man out.
Or it's couples and kids and you don't have either,
So like, do you really want to come to my kids, you.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Know, third birthday party?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And no, not really, but like if it's the only
way that I'm going to see all you guys, then yeah,
then I want to go. But I think what happens is,
you know, people move away and they and live lives change,
and if yours doesn't change along with them, then you
kind of wind up getting excluded. And I don't think
it's on purpose. I hate that, it's just it just
is though. But you're the you have a husband and
(22:17):
a kid, so you're gonna get included in a lot
of that stuff and I don't.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
But I better be included in girls' night and single
ladies hitting the street night.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Like I still want to do everything that.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
You know, the old me would do as well, because
I cherish my friendships like I do water them. It's hard,
it's hard work, but to me, it's like super important
because like all my friends are on different levels.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Everybody's different living it for different life.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I think you're going to find the way as you
get older. There's less and less of the just lose
fun socializing. There's and it takes a little more effort
to make it happen. I mean, try and plant something
on this show. And we're all friends, and we all
like each other and we want to hang out with
each other. But try and from try and find one
day that all of us can do the same thing
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's very true.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
So it's really hard to do, and I think that
is a factor.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
It is hard.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I mean, as a.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Forty year old man, there aren't a lot of other
forty year old men out there that are just like
chilling that are and I don't plan very well. So
like Friday at five o'clock, I know the group of
guys and where they're going to be, and I know
where to find them. But it's the same guys, and
they're guys who are just like me, single with nothing
else to do. But if I try and call one
of my married buddies at Friday at four o'clock and go,
what are you doing, They're like, y'all see the month
(23:22):
right when I can, you know, clear with my wife.
You know, how about how about six fridays from now?
I'm like, I don't say fridays from now, might be
something will still come.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Up and exactly you got to cut your grass like this?
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah you found you found this too, though, haven't your roof?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I don't have any friends.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I have like one or two friends, and then you guys, Oh,
I mean I just have my family.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Are my friends?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
You know?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Same?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's just I think people's prayer around. I don't think
it's personal. I think it's just life is hard and
it takes a lot of effort, and when you're working
and you have kids and you have other you know,
projects and other things going on, then you, I don't know,
maybe you're just like it's just one more thing you
have to do.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
And I don't think it's personal.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah no, yeah, I mean everyone's everyone's lives are different
people you know, something's changed, and some people just stay
the same and you just go. You just that friendship
runs its course and sometimes it's done. Have you tried
talking to that person likes something in common with the
person you're talking.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'll try to bring up conversation and it's just like
it's not clicking. It's just not clicking. And I'm like,
I love making friends. I don't get on that. They
got that bumble thing. I'm not that desperate, not friends.
People get on that for friends. She don't have big
Tim as a friend. Yeah, what is exactly in my roommate.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
That pays half the bills? What is the entertainment report?
Is next friend show?
