Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, so, Pauline and Rufio.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
The cost of childcare OH has increased nearly twenty percent
between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty one, the latest year
for which the complete data is available. According to lending Tree,
excluding tax exemptions or credits, it'll cost twenty one thousand
dollars a year to raise a child at minimum. That
(00:25):
means the typical family spending about two hundred and thirty
seven four hundred and eighty two thousand dollars over the
course of eighteen years to raise a kid. And that
is excluding excluding the cost of college.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Mm hm that college right?
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
No, mode what college?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
It's wild because people want to give me backlash or
like whatever. Have an opinion about having one kid only,
but it's like do you see the numbers, Like it
doesn't make sense for me and my family to have
for other reasons too, but to have one kid. I mean,
I feel like a lot of people are doing that
these days, and I don't blame them. It's really expensive.
I can't even afford myself. How is giving you backlash?
(01:01):
Listen listeners? People, Yeah, like grand people. My own mom
has said, like you sure you don't want another? And
I said, Mom, I know you're coming from a good place.
You know you're just asking because this is like your grandkid,
and I love that for you. But we're not doing
this again. We're one and done. We love it here.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Well, you'd posted a question the other day. We didn't
get to it, but I am curious. Eight five five, five,
one one oh three five? Do you ever wish you
only had one kid?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Some of your kids?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I guess I could answer the I could ask the
question I'm going to call it depends on the day, I.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Think, mind us for sure?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I Okay, more importantly, did you only have one kid?
Or did you strongly consider only having one kid? And
do you wish that you'd had more? That's that will
ask the question that way. Okay, that's probably a better way.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Which kid would you erase from your history?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I mean that we can answer it that way too.
It really it's potato, potato, tomato tomato.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, if you had to say one kid, right, perfect,
Jason Brown, one and done, Linda want and done?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Did great? Well, that might be something to do with it.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
But like my sister did I mean, honestly, I don't
know that she was like gong Ho. Let's go have
another one. I don't think she loved the process of
having a child. I don't think she loved being pregnant.
But she was afraid that Polly would be weird if
she didn't have a sibling. And that's a quote, that's
a direct quote.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I've heard that before. I don't know. I feel too
like I've be getting a lot of d MS about this.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I think there's pros and cons to everything, right, so
when it comes to like having more than one kid,
I mean, you've got your pros, your cons.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's just whatever works for your family.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
But I think for me, I want to put my energy,
my finances, my very little finance, everything that I have,
just into Gabriella.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
That's all I want to do.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
I want to raise her the best I can, because
it's it doesn't be the best I can. She's got,
you know, her family, the village, everyone's there for her.
I think she'll be okay. And if she's a little
a little weird, she's just like me. Then we're all
a little weird, right.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
I wonder when my sister thinks she's gonna get two
hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars, so that's you know,
basically five hundred and ten grand.
Speaker 5 (03:08):
But you don't look at like I've never looked at
that like before having kids, like, oh gotta have twenty
one thousand dollars a year to have kids.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You just you just have kids. It's like part of life.
You just make it work. Yeah, you make it work.
It is expensive, no kidding.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
I bought formula yesterday, I bought diapers and wipes.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I was like, how much you spent? I spent two
hundred dollars wipes?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Is that like a like monthly? Would you say you
spend two hundred bucks a weekly.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Weekly on formula? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Roughly, wow, two three hundred dollars and rufio. You seemed
a little bit surprised. Apparently you're having like four and
you didn't know this well, I mean the.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Three would be ideal. I mean, uh, two is ideal
as well too. Well, you did have no shor right
up to me there just she came from a family
of three siblings, so and then her sister has three kids,
so I wouldn't mind three, but I would like to
do if we have another one closer to an age
(04:05):
to the second child, like.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Hey, Jess, twins would have been nice, and I know
it's happening next month, but like, if you could figure
out a way to culture up another one somehow or
you know whatever, I.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Would like a girl. I would like a girl. But yeah,
I would love to see what you're say. I would
love Yeah, yeah, he'd be a good grew. Yeah, it
would be for Jess.
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Just give just because she's raising two boys right now
and then she's gonna get a third in less than
a month.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So just don't do the thing where you keep going
back to the well. Because like my a buddy who
did that, he had he and in fact his family
I don't understand the story completely, but they really, let's
just put this way, they really wanted a son from him.
I think there was a financial incentive even like I
think there was, like yeah, and so they kept going back.
Three daughters, four women in that house, three daughters, and
(04:52):
they're all within like two years of each other.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So he's screwed. I mean, my brother in law is screwed.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Yeah, he's gonna have Polly's three May who's three months.
They're both gonna be in high school the same time, right,
He's have to put them both in college at the
same time. And if you think that he's raising these
kids on two hundred and thirty seven thousand, whatever, not
my sister's way. Hell now, hello Christina, good morning, How you.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Doing, Good morning?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
How are you very well? So you have two kids,
and that's enough for you? You wish you had more,
you wish you had fewer? Which one would you eliminate?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
So I had two kids. They're four years apart, not
by design, but are not by choice but by design.
And if my husband and I could have had more kids,
we would have. But we have what's called secondary infertility.
So it just was never in our cars, okay, And
I mean like we had means, we just didn't, you know,
just make sure did not provide, you know what I mean?
(05:47):
And like I would have had my kids closer together.
But now that you know my son's in high school
and my daughter's in middle school, it's like, thank God
that they're four years apart, because then again, what you
were saying before, you know, at least my kid it
will not be going to college and university at the
same time.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, my god.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I mean we know some other people like that who
have several kids in college at the same time. And
then when when you think you're done that he's got
like another young one, like a random straggler young one.
It's just still coming up. And it's like, oh god,
we thought we were done. No, we got this other one.
We're going to put through college, and you put the
other ones through college. You can't tell the last one,
like you know what. I give up on this, like
you know what, you figure it out, like top over it.
(06:26):
Thank you, Christina, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Can I just add one thing?
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yes, of course.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
And Pauline, I know you just had a baby. Mm
hmm my sister mama, she said that she was she
was one and done. See and now she's got to Yeah,
she now got two under two, so you never know.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Wow, well I got my you never know. You checked yesterday, So.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I actually don't call it an iou because that's like
this one still coming. I mean like, well we'll get
you one of these days. Thank you, Christina, have a
good day.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
I have a good one.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Well good, I'm glad everything still there. It's still there.
I thought it fell out for five minutes. I was
fell out. I did. I was like, I don't think
it's in there. So when they checked, we're good.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Okay, well, I mean, I know they do come out,
but anybodys they fell out, but you know, hey whatever,
you know, however it works. Hey Wendy, Hey Wendy, good morning.
Just one kid and it's perfect. It's lovely. You love
it every single second.
Speaker 7 (07:24):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, that's it. You're just like, hey, I had one.
I'm happy. That's that's all you wanted to say.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
Yep, yep, one and done. Never regret it.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Was that always the plan.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Weird?
Speaker 7 (07:36):
Actually, no, we were going to have to and we
were at the threshold of making that decision and we
babysat our dear friends. Little nearborn cried for five hours.
My husband walked down the hall asking for dinner. My
child was on my leg saying you love the baby
more than me, and I decided in that very moment.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
No, okay, fair enough.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
But you're saying, do you have a son or a daughter?
I have a daughter and she's not weird.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
No, normal, shares caring. One of the nicest people. Actually,
you know, a lot more well adjusted than kids that
come from a family of five.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Sometimes. Okay, that's all right, there you go.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh my god, Ashley without a sibling, I think would
be a dangerous I am so.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Scared when this, when his brother comes, I don't know
how he's gonna act. I'm really scared because his beautiful
life is coming to an end. Beautiful Astly is four
and a half. So he he understands, you know, he understands.
But we'll see, he says, he understands. But I don't
know when that attention goes to somewhere else, will see
(08:46):
what happens.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yeah, Wendy, thank you the day here too, thank you
for listening or not here we're going to here comes
to honesty.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Julian.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Hello Julian, you got a son and twin girls? Yes,
And if you had it to do over again, what.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Would you do?
Speaker 8 (09:05):
Well?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
I had three of them in college at one time.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Okay, so one of them has to go basically what
you're saying, one of them's got to go.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
Yeah. I probably would have had my son and stopped
if I had known I was going to have twins.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh wow.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
And the girls are much harder to raise than boys are, okind.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And how old are the twins?
Speaker 9 (09:25):
They're twenty eight and my son's now thirty.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
One, and they're still hard to raise. At twenty eight.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Yes they are.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
For the twins would have been like y'all sharing this tuition.
You guys could switch days and go to whatever tup
for one to raise it right.
Speaker 9 (09:42):
The other thing is when they were babies, you don't
think about it, but when your kid is drinking four
bottles of formula at eight ounces in a day, that
is sixty four ounces between two kids.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Wow, whoa wow.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
So what I'm hearing you say is you love your kids,
but there's an asterisk, there's a caveatea thank you, Julian, have.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
A great day.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
I'm sure my mom will hear this later because she
listens to the podcast later when she wakes up, and
she'll probably tell you that she's still raising me at
forty three, and she is. Basically we talk all the time.
I think maybe she at this point now, that's what
reason she's gotten less selective about who I marry, because
it's like somebody else, please, like, will somebody manage this guy?
Like anybody? Like when I was in my twenties, it
had to be the perfect woman. Now I think it's
(10:27):
just like and now I think she doesn't. I think
she doesn't want you to she likes you know, having
conversations with you every day. Well, I do think she
likes that, right, Yeah, you could still do that. Oh
and trust me, she still manages to make sure I
know who she doesn't like.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Oh boy, what a bad life that would be.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Oh yeah, No, it's like, honestly, if Amanda, if you're
out with Amanda and Amy, sister and mom respectively, there's
no turning back. I think my sister would tolerate. I
think she would pretend, but she would make you miss
like you'd know, like she would pretend, but you'd know.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
My mom would not.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I can't like, And we've talked about this before my
mom and she gets older, like I just physically can't
take her certain places because she'll just tell people what
she really thinks and she just doesn't care. I don't
know if that's just like you just earned that, Yes,
you do. You just earn your stripes. Yes, at a
certain point in life. But the problem is, like she
can be liberated in that way. I'm the one who
has to pay for it. I'm the one who has
(11:25):
to be Know your mom doesn't like me. You're right,
she just told you that.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Since since moving here, have you ever brought anyone home
to meet your mom.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Hey, how you doing? Save me?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Immediately you were an only child, you had an only sibling.
The wait a minute, so what are we talking about
you or are we talking about your like how many
kids you're going to have?
Speaker 8 (11:54):
Got?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Myself?
Speaker 10 (11:55):
So I am the oldest is two. My brother and
I are four years apart. And honestly wish I either
had an older sibling or I was an only child
because with me, my parents were super strict, super hard
on me, also gave me the most attention until I
was four my brother came along. Once my brother came along,
(12:17):
I had like no attention. I was kind of like
pushing aside.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
And I mean, I know how to do everything. I
know how to wipe my own butt.
Speaker 10 (12:24):
I could do summersaults and he just kind of laid
there and and then slept and pooped all day.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, you have to be more important wiping your butt
of the summersaults, because I'm not sure I can't do
a summer result, so you can.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
I don't think so I think I hurt my.
Speaker 10 (12:38):
I would say probably wiping your own butt.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
You don't want to have a.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Rash, No, you don't want to, but yeah, I don't know, Holly,
you have a great day.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh no, and then what and then what finish your thought?
I'm sorry?
Speaker 10 (12:50):
And then I feel like my little brother. Kind of
they gave up and they were just like, do whatever
you want, go wherever you want, super strict on me.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
But he could do no wrongs.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Well that was my sister. She could do all the wrong.
She could do all the wrong. But she they let
her do whatever she wanted. But then again with eight
years apart, so it was just like, forget about it.
I think they were just done. Thank you, Holly, have
a good day. Thanks But I kind of got only child.
I got only child for a little while, and then
I then she came along. But see now that and
then when she was really young and I was like
(13:20):
a teenager, that was annoying. But now that we're the
you know, as you get older, the age gap, I
think sort of becomes less and less prevalent. I mean
she's in her mid thirties and I'm in my early forties,
and so like now we're the same basically, you know
what I mean as far as like maturity and interests
and stuff like that. So now it's good. It was
never bad, but it was just annoying. I had nothing
in common with her. You know, I'm in high school
(13:42):
and she's eight, you know what I mean. Like I'm
trying to, like, you know what I was trying to
do unsuccessfully, and she's like looking through the cracks, trying
to catch me, tell on me.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
And then you're trying to tell on her. Yeah, I
came home, you damn right. Yeah, that's what you get payback, guys.
It is misunderstand here with NASA. They've delayed the return
to Earth for their Boeing Starliner aircraft crew thing. I
think it's not called a crew thing, but whatever. NASA
astronauts of the International Space Station. They guess up there
(14:12):
for at least another week or so. Butch and Sony
are up there. Butch Willmore, that's an astronaut right there,
and he's a real astronaut.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
He's in the space station. As you know from the
Fred Show. Constitution that constitutes a real astronaut. Not Jeff Bezos.
Not Hey, I'm up here in space. I've floated around
for like thirty seconds. No now, No, Butch is a
real astronaut. So is Sonny Williams. They launched them Cape
Canaveral on board Boeing Starliner spacecraft last Wednesday. This marked
the capsule's first crude mission. NASA and Boeing gave an
(14:41):
up to yesterday, saying the astronauts will we re turn
to Earth no later than June eighteenth, so that engineers
can keep an eye on a couple of small helium
leaks that they're having up there. So I'm sure they
I'm sure they screwed everything in. Honestly, this is miss
this is a miscommunication. Everything's fine, It's Boeing, of course
is fine. At this point, I'll be like, yo, Bezos,
(15:02):
let me hitch a rock.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Yeah, yeah, I know you're running, but can you get
that thing up here at.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Quick?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I wonder if they can send like another if they
have a backup. They have to have a backup ship
of some kind. They can't just keep them up there forever,
like one of those things. What if it doesn't work,
They got to get some other uber to go up
there and get them. I mean, honestly, but yeah, that
would make me nervous. The thing was broken to get
up there, and now it's broken to come back. They
probably even think about that, right, They're like, wow, I
(15:30):
got to fix Now we're here. Everything's good. Oh no,
now we got to go back. Boy, I wonder Spirit
can go get them. Do you think Spirit mean Spirit
could absolutely get the job done. Yeah, yeah, Spirit goes.
I mean it would cost a lot because I mean
they probably have things they.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Have to bring back. They should have took Spirit to
get up there. They probably should have.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Apple has revealed to push into AI a bunch of
new features for their iPhones, Max and iPads. People are
making a big deal out of this Apple intelligence that
will be integrated into Siri, allowing the assistant to retain
contexts from previous requests and improve its language comprehension.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
So we're excited about that. I guess, Oh yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And when it comes to ranking cities for staycations, Orlando
is number one out of one hundred and eighty two cities.
Wallet Hub use a number of metrics including things to do,
restaurant costs, parks, spas, massage costs, summer weather, et cetera.
Why trying to go to Orlando in the summer. Maybe
it's cheaper at Disney, But is it cheaper at Disney
in the Summer's more expensive?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Really it is. Yeah, because everyone's on summer game.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
God miserable. I would think they'd make it more expensive
in the winter when it's like more tolerably. No, they
make you more affordable because no one wants to go.
You know, they got people got this all wrong. Yeah,
you want to go to Florida in the wintertime, that's
what you are You sure about that?
Speaker 5 (16:43):
I am sure about because I've gone in the summer
twice and it's expensive.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Spring break that's expensive too.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah, I mean it's cold in a lot of places
you go there, the weather's nicer.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I would think they would charge more.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
But anyway, Orlando is uh the top place for staycation Honolulu, Cincinnati, Ohio, Okay,
Las Vegas, Tampa, Chicago, San Diego, Atlanta, New Orleans, and Tucson. Tucson,
Arizona top ten for staycations. I guess you gotta remember
you're already living there for the most part. I mean,
I don't know who's like you're not. It's not a staycation.
(17:15):
I guess if you fly there and stay in a hotel,
that would then be a vacation.
Speaker 11 (17:18):
I guess, isn't that old timy like Western Town in Tucson.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
It was on Jersey Shore family vacation. There's a few
of them, but yeah, what was it called? I want
to watch anythink of Jerome. It's been around since like
the night that one. Yeah, there's a bunch of them.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Jerome's the one on the hill on the you gotta
climb to drive up the hill, had the mine.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
There are several of them, and then there's some fake
ones too. There used to be called raw Hide. We
used to go to as a kid. Oh yeah, please
go Rawhide for your birthday?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Was yep?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, Christopher's eight. Let's celebrate in nineteen eighty eight PM
red shirt to the sheriff. Yes, everyone got a shirt.
They're collectible now, yeah, I hope, I hope. I'm sure
kids held onto those.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, they were rare. Doesn't have an extra one.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I don't know if she does. And they had like
a red sheriff's thing on it. Oh yeah, well I
was still an only child when I was eight. So
what was the name of raw Hide? You could mine
for gold. They had like painted little rocks, gold rocks
you could mind from, you know. They had like an
old like a western town. They had a western show
that had a petting zoo at raw Hide. Oh yeah, no,
it's a big deal. Yeah, you can get like a saloon.
(18:21):
You go to the saloon, get like a steak or something.
I think they tore it down and put condos there. Sadly,
but Santa Ana, California, Marino Valley, Laredo, Texas is the
worst places, by the way. Santa Clarita, Yonkers, New York
one of the worst places for a staycation.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Pearl City, Hawaii.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
I didn't know you could have a bad time in Hawaii,
but you know, I guess you don't want to have
a staycation in Pearl City, Irving, Texas. In Fremont, California. Oh,
one more AI story for your Researchers are exploring how
AI will someday be able to interpret dog vocalizations, possibly
distinguishing between playful barks and aggressive growls, and even identifying
characteristics such as age, breed, and gen of the dog.
(19:01):
So someday with about so far they have fifty percent accuracy.
But someday they're saying that you'll be able to use
AI to understand what your dog is saying. Maybe my dream, Well,
but I prefer just to do I prefer to just
translate myself like I have the dialogue already with my dog.
Like we just we talked to each other, and I
(19:21):
say what she's gonna say, and then I already know
to me.
Speaker 11 (19:25):
She's doctor Doolittle. I can't say. She'll text me and
be like Chance wanted you to know this and this
and this. I'm like, girl, I can't understand him.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Oh no, you know we did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I called the house. Lily says, Hi, she's asking about you. Yeah,
she wants to know where you've been. No, and she
probably doesn't want to know where I've been. I believe them.
It's National Call your doctor Day, So do that. And everyone,
well Paulina did yesterday and everything's in her io used
in place.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
That's all is well.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The entertainment reporting blogs next day or Go will debate
some relationship drama all coming up Fred's show.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, they talk better than they excited.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
These are the radio blogs on the friendship who writing
in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
We call them blogs. Caitlin, you're ready, yes, take it away,
dear blog.
Speaker 11 (20:09):
So I am very very curious what you guys think
about this, And I feel like everyone is gonna have
their a different opinion in this room, But how much
weight do you put on social media in general and
also when you're in a relationship.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
So recently it got back.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
To me a friend of mine mine told me that
some people were talking about my relationship and the difference
between which my boyfriend posts me on social media and
I post him on social media. Okay, which is interesting
to be talking about in itself, because like, hmm, But basically,
(20:53):
these people were saying that they were super concerned for
my boyfriend because he posts me a lot more. He
you know, expresses his feelings a lot more on social
and I don't really post him that much, and so
I must not like him. I must be hiding him.
They're concerned for him. Wow, very interesting?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Who are these people? Exactly? Very interesting? And you would
think of that.
Speaker 11 (21:22):
Right now, right and you'd be interested to know that
they never once reached out to him to go, yo,
I'm concerned. You're just you're just running your mouths okay.
So I just think it's very interesting. We have these
conversations all the.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Time, you know.
Speaker 11 (21:35):
Some people have their certain social media rules. Some people
are really into looking at who views your stories. Some people,
some people want to be posted. I feel like, A,
if I was a dude who wasn't posting my girl,
I'd be like keeping.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
A player, you know. And B I've just never been
like that, you know. And I'm no.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
I'm because if you're like that doesn't post, you're keeping
a player. But you're a girl who doesn't post that much,
so you keeping it plower.
Speaker 11 (22:04):
Because I'm a girl that's not posting, I must be
hiding him or not liking him. I just feel like
it's a little bit of a double standard. I feel
like that's just my personal opinion. You don't have to
agree with me. First of all, I don't run his
social and I'm not a girl who's like, please post me.
It's just never been my thing. I don't really care.
He can post whatever he wants. If he wants to
(22:24):
post me, go for it. Never ask for that. Don't
need that. Sometimes I just feel like A I move
a little slower and be I like to have something
just for myself. They would be happy to know I
have a close friend story that I post him all
the time. Sometimes I just don't like to share every
little thing of what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Oh my not a close friend because I don't see
him all the time. Oh that's good to know.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Anyway. I guess I'm a work friend. I'm just a
work I'm just I'm just as I gotta earn it.
I gotta earn it. Hello, Yeah, how long did it take?
I mean, I think without you, guys, I don't think
you have to.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
I don't think you you don't have to post anybody
you don't want to post, especially if you guys have
discussed it. I mean, I guess if I were posting
you all the time and you never posted me and
we never talked about it, then I might start to
feel a certain kind of way about it. The other
thing is, are you know I know that he has
a public job, but we have a more public job.
And I've had this argument in really, I'm not dissing him,
(23:29):
I'm not docing him. I'm just saying our listeners are
very into our lives. They're they're very connected to us.
And I've had this argument with people I've dated before too,
where it's like, well, I post you on my private
Instagram for my friends and family only, many of whom
you've met, but you don't post me on your public
social media. And I think those are two different things. Now,
(23:53):
the people and there was one particular person I dated
who we never saw an eye on them. It was like, Okay,
well I'm gonna start posting you and then people are
gonna write nasty stuff in the comments and they're you're
not gonna like it. Yeah, And they're gonna either gonna
friend you on you know, they're gonna request you on
all these platforms that you don't want. You don't you
don't know these folks, and you may not want to
approve them, and so we'll go ahead.
Speaker 9 (24:15):
And do that.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Me though, not posting you is more of a protection
mechanism than it is me not being you know, wanted
to be with you. Because I talk about relationships I'm
in all the time. I just think there's a it's
just two different things.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
I also think like, so the people that we're talking
about it have never been in the same room with
us together, never seen us together, which is where you
should be able to tell if someone like someone right, right.
And so we're putting more weight on social media than
we are on like real life interactions. And I just
think it's interesting, you know, everyone in this room posts
a different level of their significant other.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Kiki doesn't post at all. Big Tim never. Well that's
because she's singles.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's right, my girls saying, And I won't until I'm married.
Because a big Tim as you know today might be
another Big Tim side on Friday.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Well he could be because I've never seen the real
Big Tim. So you could bring another guy.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Can at least be close friends on that post?
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Everybody's my close friend, that's my problem. I think everybody
is a close friend.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Clearly not.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
But but Big Tim, Yeah, he will never see the
light of social media because you know, for what what?
What's the reason you don't need to be on my
social media? It doesn't dictate how I love him, though,
you know he has a great life with me.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
That's your toys, and every one has a choice. Can
you post me, babe?
Speaker 7 (25:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
No, no, no no, he actually stopped.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
He took away his whole social media like he's just
off social media altogether.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
A girl, and I love doing as easily, I guess
exactly on my birthday, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
I'm like, dang, like I kind of wish my man,
would you know, because he used to be he's to
post me all you looked at his old pages is
all me.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
So you know, I'm like, I kind of missed that,
But I can't have the best of us bros. Like,
let's because you were running his social media.
Speaker 4 (26:05):
So I used to one of those girls that would
truly believe like, oh, if you don't post your you're
just gonna make it other then you guys, I don't
know one likes more than the other or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Right. I used to believe that wholeheartedly.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
But what I've realized now is that these people, especially
when it comes to that anniversary post.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
And it's like two pages long, there's.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Usually a lot of stuff under that, like it's not
what it seems the whole Like we've been through hell
and back, you're going through hell there.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
The more you write, the more it's not doing well. No, Like,
the longer the caption, the more problems you're going through.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
In my experience, social media appearances are not what they seems.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And we've all admitted that we read into people's relationship
based off their social media posts, like you just say it,
like we judge you off of your social media post.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
So sometimes it's safer to just not do it.
Speaker 10 (26:52):
For what right?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Can anything just be private? Right, are no? Actually no,
I'm more concerned with why none of us are well,
I should say none of us just waiting to hear
who the worst talking smack Fred, Oh that'll be nice.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
I guess I'm about to hear in eight seconds after
I tell you to say or go his next after.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It's the friend Show. Now, let's talk about the fread
show is on Friend's Fun Facts. Fun guys.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Did you know that some cats are allergic to human beings?
So a lot of a lot of humans are allergic
to cats right around me as I am as well,
aren't you? I'm allergic to cats? Yeah, I mean I.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Like a cat. I like a cat's vibe. I do
like a cat.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I mean my mom has always had cat. Growing up,
we always had cats. I'm in their chill, like I
like him to hear me. Go ahead, rufie, I like
a cat. You're going to isolate that. I mean, go ahead,
I like a cat. Right.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
Let me make it clear for you.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I like a cat, right, I'm allergic, not interested. But
it turns out tho they're just like humans. Animals of
all kinds can have allergies to a variety of substances.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Although it's rare.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Some pets are allergic to our own dead skin cells,
known as dander. Different pets can be allergic to each
other's danderd as well. Common allergy symptoms include breathing difficulties
or skin irritation. So just the same way as you
might be allergic to a cat, a cat could be
allergic to you as well. That might explain why some
(28:35):
people don't like cats, because the cats, I mean to
them or something, because they're allergic. Yeah, trying to get
away from you. Yeah, I mean, I hate to say it,
like on a dating alb or whatever, if I see
cats and I'm just like, it's not gonna work out.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
I can't do it.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I can't because I'm really like, this is really kind
of bad. I get, you know, I get like the
watery eyes and the whole thing. It's not worth the risk,
I guess not. But then I go home my grabma
mom's rag dolling like you know, his name is Moose. Yeah,
why you're disgusted.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I didn't say anything.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I didn't even say I grabbed my mom's cat. I
said I grabbed my mom's rag doll.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Okay, But like, why couldn't I You could say my mom's.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
Cat exactly exactly, but no, Cakey's on.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
There you go, you got okay. I don't need two
of you.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Moose is a big ass cat, and I like Moose
and I hold him anyway, even tho I'm allergy, Jim,
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I call it big Moose too. I got I gotta
more Fred show next right here.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Our blogs, audio journals like writing in our diaries, Paulina, Yes.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Take it away, Thank you so much, dear blog. So
I got a friend. You guys know my best friend.
You know, he has a lot of opinions. He's uh,
he's you know, just he's Jonathan Ray. We all know Jonathan.
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Everybody has that one friend who I feel like just
speaks their mind. And right now I think he's mad
at me. And he told me it's because I don't
set him up with people. Now, let me explain and
break that down a little bit more. It's more I
don't set him up with people because I don't. He
thinks I don't care enough to or whatever. If I mention,
oh I met somebody whatever, and my best friend is gay,
(30:24):
so he'll be like, oh, you know, I'll bring up
another man or whatever, and he'll be like, and he
didn't mention me. I thought he was kidding. I thought
this man was kidding. He is not kidding. He goes
he didn't mention me, and I'm like, why would I
mention him talking about business or something else, or like
someone's asking about I don't know some thing that I'm doing.
I'm like, why would you be brought up? And he
was just so offended. And he wants to get specifically
(30:46):
with someone that I know, and I don't know this
other person's gay though, So now.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
My issue was like that would best time, but that's.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
So inappropriate to my I mean to ask somebody like
and be like, you know, I mean, I think he's gay.
Most of us think he's gay. I think he gives gay.
Is he going to be something if he's not. I
think I'm confident he gives gay, But I well, you know,
he'll say certain things and I could pick up on it, right,
I'm like, Okay, I see things like I like man.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Much, I mean pretty much, and and my other friends
the manhole this weekend, like what that's what I'm saying?
And what what what sorts? I love the.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Property brothers, Like what's what sort of things is he saying.
I mean, let's figure that out first.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Well, my friend did some investigation and I guess asked
him something about a vacation and he's like, yeah, like
my friend that I travel with.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
He this he that he doesn't mean he's gay either.
I mean it doesn't, but.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
You know the way that he's talking about his friend,
they're traveling and things sound a little sexy. In my opinion,
it sounds like it might be a guy he's seeing.
So I just I can't shut up ask him that.
I feel rude asking him that. So I'm picking up
on the cues here. But if he is, I would
love to set them up, but I can't get over
this step first at to find out is he even
interested in Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Why don't you just put them in the same place
together and then let him do the work so that
you don't have to be the middle person. I can
try that, I can see what I can and let
him do his own investigation. Because that way then you
don't have to ask the uncomfortable questions. Thank you, you
don't have to be told no, you don't have to
be the messenger. I mean, I get it, but I've
given you a hard time over the years for not
setting me up with your hot friends.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
If one in particular, well that was early on. That
was early I think it was just one hot friend.
It was one hot friend. You just wouldn't do it. No,
I would not not do it.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
I was just like trying to keep my job. I
was so new here and I didn't talk back yet.
I was like a little afraid. I was like, I
don't want to like you talked, you said, you said no, yeah,
I don't know. I was very afraid if this was today.
But I don't blame but I don't blame you, because
it gets weird when it. Trust me, it gets weird
when there's middle people involved, you know, in one person
(33:08):
or the other.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Ax up.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Look, I get that.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I get that it can be awkward to be sort
of in the middle of a situation like that, and
so it's sort of like, hey, but but what you
don't get to do, which a lot of people do,
is dabble, like get in the middle of it, and
then when it goes bad, then step away like, oh.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I had nothing to do with it. You no, no, no,
I'm telling you this was today.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
You either avoid it or you either you either support
it or you avoid it, but you don't get to
play the middle.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
I agree with that, but I'm telling if it was today,
like look at my friends, I'll let him up for you.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
You can take a pic. I don't care. At that time,
I think it was like a different me, different like mentality. Now,
I would love. I would love if you got one
of my friends.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I would love I recommended you to my friends. Wow
I have I'm like, I know a good guy.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Thank you. Don't tell Jonathan because he'll I was.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Gonna say, Jonathan's like he thinks it sounds like he
thinks every man should you should be like, hey, a
nice to meet you. How I'm pulling them on the radio.
And then oh, by the way, would you like to
have sex with my friend? Jonathan? Like I don't.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
That's not how it goes.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
No, Like you have to meet them. You have to click,
you know, see if there is a vibe, you catch
a vibe on each other. Gay, Yeah, we'll find out.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
First step that part is.
Speaker 2 (34:16):
I would say that would be priority number one, right
if you're looking for a high level of success. But
I do think that at this point, if I'm going
to meet anybody who I'm going to be with, like,
really really be with. I do think it's going to
be a setup. It's going to be somebody who knows
me well saying to someone else who they know well,
(34:36):
you know, this is a match. Like I think that's
the only way it's truly going to work because the
dating apps every time are a total crapshoot. You have
no idea what you're really getting on either side, and
I don't know how people are. We've talked about this,
you know, for hours on the show about dating apps,
but it's a hot or not game. It is not
a chemistry game. And I feel like the chemistry is
(34:57):
probably what keeps people together and and also somebody vouching
for common interests in common you know, uh, the quality
of the human you know what I mean, Like you
just don't know. You don't know if the person you
thinks hot online is going to be a person who
you want to be with in person.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
And that's why I think I'm with Jonathan on this one.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
I think if you have a hot single friend, I
try to hook my hot single friends up with everybody.
They don't always like it, Kaitlin, but I always try
to do it. I just think you should always play
matchmaker with your friend. Why not that was a waiter
that you thought was hot.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
That was not your friend Fred is hot and single.
Speaker 9 (35:35):
What you do?
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yeah, if you have to produce anything, have to be
very selective.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
For you, Like I have to be because I got
a loyalty to mam afraid, Like, I just can't have
you out here doing everything but Kalyn.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
But Kayls husband material. That's my close personal friend.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I mean, he just read me to specials, but he
eat and deliberately and I'm I feel like we're extremely close. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The Entertainment Report is next.
