Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fresh Show is on. I know that you were
sitting around thinking about my side hustle as a as
a kid, as a teenager. As you know, I was
a web designer, big time web designer in the in
the late nineties. I had really no idea, no idea
(00:20):
how to do it whatsoever. I had. I literally had
that book that says web pages for dummies, you know
the ones I don't even know they still make those books, yellow, yellow,
litting out dummy for everything, you know whatever. I honestly
used that book to sell a web page to one
person in high school because my dad told me to,
because he's an entrepreneur and he was like, figure out
(00:41):
how to make some money for yourself. And I guess
that was my side host. So that, of course, and
I'm going esteemed alumnus of the Blockbuster video mega franchise
that it was, you know, basically I was, I'm part
of the culture. What was the culture?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
He really was BBB. Yeah, I'm bb again.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
S mob.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It was a little different than the se mob. We
all wear the same blue shirts.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Well, b B, I have that bb L That's what
I have.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I want to be clear anyway, girl.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Then sorry, Hobby. So anyway, what was you You were
talking about your side hustle though, and this is way
better than mine.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh yeah, it's a proud moment of mine. Of course.
I think it's kind of how I got started in
just the hustle culture.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Will So we were watching that movie Flame and Hot
that just came out, and we were watching it, and
in the movie The Little Boy, he started slaying to
Molly's at school to his friends, and and my fiance
Hobby goes, WHOA like hustler? You know. It was like
all phase by it, and I was like, oh, that's nothing,
And I was like, when I was about eighth grade
is when it started. At the same I used to
take my step dads and my mom's cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You guys, I can't say cigarettes are serious, says she
says them.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Wait, I've never heard you say you're you're serious.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Dead ass cigarettes cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Cigarettes, grits hire syllables. Cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I would say, a pack of SIGs, okay. I would
take the SIGs and I would.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I would sell tup to kids like kids, I'm like,
my confidence, are you still doing this?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Are you the person like, hey, ma'am, can you get
me a six pag of beer, you know from the
high school kid when you're rolling.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
In, like, are you handing out cancer to kids?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You? This is what you're doing now? I wouldn't never mean,
I know that we pay everybody more, but seriously, like
we're selling cigarettes to kids now?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
No, I mean some days it might, well I want
to do that, but I will never.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I want to do that. How old were you when
you were doing this?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I was about twelve, twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You steal your parents cigarettes, yes, I would, and you
sell them to your your peers.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
My peers, yes, because it was like I was the
plug and I had it because it was a lot
at the house.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So we're all addicted.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I always thought it was saying because you're selling them cigarettes,
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy what you were selling it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I had the stuff at home, Okay, I had options.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Oh you didn't. Yeah, what were the options? You remember?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yes, Marble lights, Marble I can't say it, Marble lights,
and then Salem slim lights of course, okay, yeah, those
were those were the two packs and then the green pack,
and then when times got tougher, I would take the
four for a dollar, you know, because at the time
it was four four dollar chips, which all the good
old days, I know. So I would sell them for
a dollar each and kids would pay it because they
want the chips on the spot, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So twenty five cents turn into a dollars. Yeah, wow,
they paid for convenience.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
A hustler from the earliest age, I think.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So I like to say I was.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No, I like it. I gotta be honest. I don't
really love the cigarettes, partner, No, I don't love it.
I'm afraid of that word because I just don't want
it to come out. I don't know what. I'm not
going to do that anymore. And like many things, I'll
probably say that. There are so many words I have
to think about now before they come out of my
mouth because of you, because I'm not sure if I'm
the one saying it wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Oh, my whole vocabulary is messed up on a hustle
that was not as dangerous for kids.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh that's good if you guys are interested.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, no, I'd love to hear about the not dangerous hustle.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
So, you know, like golf tours will come to town,
and yeah, parking can be nuts.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh like PGA, like Tiger Woods or whatever.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
One of those tours was at like a bougie country
club in Michigan. And so my friend and I in
high school rode on my car with one of those
car markers that we would drive people into the.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Tour from the parking that was far away.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, because it was very far away.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
So that's uhber over here uber Yeah, and we have
the ingenuity here.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Yeah, I love get a ton of cash And we
were basically doing uber and lyft in high school.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wow, so you invented it basically.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Well, I wouldn't say what kind of sounds like it now?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Three five? I don't have a ton of time to
call now, or you can text the same number. But
what was your side hustle as a kid? Rufio? Obviously
you had several too. He went to jail for a
couple of years.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
Well, mine was also in like middle school, Like I said,
with the eighth grade I was taking. I was selling
candy out of my backpack every day. It was selling
em and ms. Don't ask me how I got the
eminem as, you stole them? What I was selling it
for a dollar walking around. I used to wear my
backpack in the front, like you know what I'm saying, like, oh,
and then I would just reach into my pocket. I
(05:18):
had Peanut the plane, I get em and Emmy and
they were a dollar. And that's what I did. My
other hustle I did was I'm pretty good at I'm
a huge Michael Jordan fan, right, the biggest, And I
could sign that man's autograph like nothing. And I was
selling cards the kids for like twenty five dollars, like
(05:39):
a you know, like a Fleer card that's like probably
like less than a dollar. And I would just sign
it and put it in the sleep and then sell
it to a random kid for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah they believed you. Yeah, I had an autograph Michael
Jordan card. Oh my god. And then I would just
so there are people out there that think they have
an autograph card that you that you forged. Yeah, I
could sign it right now. I can sign anything you
want for my car. They're gonna go on pond starts
and be like, yeah, this guy Kevin in high school,
he was so generous. It was such a good deal.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Michael Jordan stige that you did. The one thing that
stands out the m Yeah, like it looks like a
twenty three. I got that, I got my mom's autograph down,
and I got my.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Day.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I needed to get out of school summer.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh yeah, I remember. I used to try and and
this wasn't a hustle like you remember. And again just
gonna make us sound old, but collected the basketball cards
and then they had the becket and it's online now,
but it came out like whatever weekly or monthly, and
it had the prices of all the cards, and I
would sell. I would pull cards, buy a lot of them,
(06:44):
and then I would sell them to people based on
whatever that price was. And parents would call my house
and be like to my parents, Christopher selling, you know,
ripping my kid off or whatever, because I guess in
many people's minds it was trading. We were supposed to
just trade card for card. It's like, no, this is
you know how much that past? My parents would be like, no,
you just have to give them away, like this costs money,
(07:07):
but it's supposed to be sports card training. It's like no,
some are worth more than others, Like you'll just give
this stuff away. I can remember more than once my
mom would come in the room, like someone's complaining that
you're selling your basketball cards again. I'm like, but mom,
that's what there was. There's no mark up. I'm not
selling fake autograms like my friend Rufi over here, Pizza Pad,
(07:28):
what's up, Pizza Pad, Morning friends, Pizza Pad your your hustle?
And was his high school?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, so it was started software year high school. Went
to the home depot I'm like twenty six in Cicero
and there was all like the like the migrant workers
out there, and I asked them, you know where they
got their you know, their IDs from, and they gave
me one of the guy's numbers. And it was thirty
bucks for them to make the ID. All you had
(08:00):
to provide them was a picture and the info you
wanted on it. So I took that and went back
to my high school and just offered it to everybody
for one hundred and twenty. So I was making one
hundred dollars on.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Every So you were you were the middleman committing a
federal crime.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Basically innovatives. I want elegend over here. Yeah, pizza Pad
won't be hard to find. That's not a distinctive name
or anything that. Okay, I mean, you know, it's I
hate to say it's smart, but he was smart. Yeah,
thank you, Pizza Pat had a good date.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It was a revolving door of clients.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Dude, he must have made a ton, you must How
much money do you think you made doing this?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All? Right? So at one point, not can you? I
had to call uh my cousin who was a police
officer to come with me. So I thought I was
gonna get robbed. Uh At one point I had like
nine thousand dollars in cash from all the details.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Wow, I mean still Mr Kiki's are going to home
depot today. Thank you, Pizza Pat. Have a good day
the Dew's Middle School. What's that plug? Yeah? Oh my god?
Hey Matt, Hey, how you doing? Matt? What was your
(09:17):
your hustle? When was it and what was it? So
this was back in two thousand and four, two thousand
and five.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I used to show my leftover live f FA chickens
down in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What is the future Farmers of America? Is that what
FFA is?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Right? So you raised chickens like at the house, I
had them at the barn. Yeah yeah, okay, and then
you would bring them to school and what would people
do with They'd take them home and eat them or
what would they do? Oh boy, yeah, their parents. Their
parents would come pick them up five dollars a chicken.
They'd take them home and eat them or do whatever
they wanted.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But it was quick and easy cash for me.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh okay, oh wow, okay, but I wasn't expecting that.
Thank you, Matt, have a good day. Okay. Chickens, Why
don't you think of that?
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Rufio, No, son of my I don't have I'm not
equipped for that.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
No you don't know. Wow, well, well she won't be
in a parking lot of home. Depoil a little bit,
but selling chickens and fakes?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
What was yours?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
I'm definitely doing that, but mine's was. I'm a security business.
I ran a security business in school.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
My brother was like one of the tough kids, and
I would be like, you know, if you want to
pay for security services, then you pay us. He'll secure
you and make sure no bullies mess with you. And
it worked out very well. We were very paid. How
old were you about eleven?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And so you'd say, look, no one will give you
a hard time about anything if you get how much money.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm scared to say this.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
One kid his parents must have kept only cash in
the house because he was giving us like hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Wow, he never got beaten up, never got beaten up.
He kept the bullies off of here. Kiki's personal secure
better than chickens. Yeah, they talk better than they These
are the radio blogs on The Fresh Show. All right,
So it's like writing in our diaries. I'm gonna do
(11:14):
one today, dear blog. This has never happened to me before,
but it's happening to me now for some reason. But
I don't think I can watch scary TV before I
go to bed. I think it's affecting my sleep in
my dreams. And this has never happened to me my
whole life. I've heard people talk about this being a problem.
I've never had this happen to me. It started last
(11:37):
week when I decided out of nowhere that I was
gonna start watching Narcos again, that show on Netflix. I
watched season one and two, and then I don't know,
I just didn't. I didn't watch three for some reason.
And then I went back and decided to watch season three.
And it is really pretty graphic that show, Like they're
killing a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yes, they are.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
This is always dead people in these cartels. Man, I
don't want to be in a cartel unless I always
liked it. I've just said, unless I can be the
cartel leader. But even then those guys get killed. Two. Yes,
Like being a cartel leader would be sort of boss
like you can have like you know what, Pablo Escobar
(12:16):
had houses with zoos in him and hippos and hippo.
I mean, I want to have a hippo. I just
don't want to have to be in a cartel to
do it, you know, so I don't. I'm not going
to be in a cartel anymore. Okay, Okay, good for you. Good,
good decision. I was thinking about it. I think I
kind of I run a cartel now. I feel like
and it's this cartel. It's it's the Fred cartel, the
Fred Show cartel. You guys are all my assassins, and
(12:37):
I feel like I run a small gang as it
is right now.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Mob.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, well, I think I like that one matter. Either
one would work though legal name, fake name, it doesn't matter.
They both want You didn't know when you created the
c Mob in high school that you really was prophetic,
that you were really going to wind up working with
a Christopher Yep. I had no idea. Yeah, okay, so
I am a cartel leader. I need a hip some
one get me a hip hop. But the other thing
(13:02):
I started watching and my sister told me, like, this
will happen, Like she said that. She started watching it,
and it got to the point after two episodes where
they were watching it in bed and she wouldn't even
get out of bed to go get water. She was
so scared it's cold. I don't know how I missed this.
It's on Investigation Discovery. I don't even know when it
started airing, maybe a month ago or something. It's called
(13:22):
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. Have you ever heard
of this? Now? I'm only two or three episodes in,
so I don't really know what the outcome is and
don't tell me. But basically it's a paraphrase. It's the
story of a family that adopted a small person little
(13:44):
yes yes, yes, from the Ukraine that like or not
the Ukraine, Americans say the Ukraine. I recently met a
Ukrainian who's like, don't say that it's Ukraine. I don't
know why people say that, so I'm sorry. Ukraine Ukraine,
but like at least one other family had just relinquished this,
like adopted her in the mid like nope, And then
(14:05):
this one family winds up with her and it turns
out that like they thought she was eight, yeah, and
then but there are reasons like that she couldn't be
eight that they get very specific about, so that like, Okay,
well she's not eight, she's got to be at least
a teenager. And then they, I don't know you could
do this. I'm not giving anything away, really, I don't
(14:26):
know you could do this though, but they re aged
her legally and decided she had to be like twenty
four or something. So it turns out this kid's not
a kid. The kid also apparently wants to kill everybody
in the family that she just adopted or was just
adopted by. You can't just give a kid back. But
(14:48):
then the flip side is that the family may have
made this whole thing up too, so like I'm in
the midst of this, so she's definitely older than she said.
But then on the flip side, the family they're saying
wasn't they weren't good people either. That's sort of the
way it's leaning again, I'm only halfway through, so I
don't know what happens, but like, there's just a lot
(15:09):
of weirdness going on here. But at one point, this
little person, I mean a little she's a little person,
and it turns out she's older than like eight. They
thought she was eight, but she's not. And then they
like one day they're like, well you're not eight, so here,
here's an apartment. Uh huh, you just live here now,
and then they just leave her. There is just a
(15:32):
wild old story.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You couldn't handle her.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well because apparently she was saying she was gonna kill everybody,
and then she would sort of admit to that, and
then it would come back that like maybe the parents
weren't all that, maybe they made some of it up,
because there are certain people saying that certain events that
happened they didn't happen that way. I don't know. I'm
in the middle of this thing trying to figure out
what the hell's going on, and it's freaking me the
hell out.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
So your sister is scared that that little woman is
going to be in her Pacific house, She's going to
get water.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
I don't know, like an adult, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Put that don't put that in your mind.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Angel.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I mean, probably's an consertive young lady.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
But I don't think I have a Halloween costume.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I don't know. I'm only halfway through, so I gotta
keep watching it. But it's someone said, this is based
on a true story. No, no, it is a true story.
It's not based on her. It is a true thing.
And see here people are saying, watch till the end,
it might change your opinion. It's really said, No, I
I do know. And that's what I'm saying is I'm
halfway through, and I don't know what I believe. I
(16:41):
believe that she's older than she thought she was, or
that she was saying she was. I don't know how
much control over that narrative she I don't know, got it,
got it? It's just so crazy. But anyway, it's called
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace and it's on I
mean you can stream it like on Pomcast, Infinity, whatever
it is. There's a bunch of different I watch it
(17:04):
on Yeah, like on hand.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I think it's up because that investigation idea is owned
by Max.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, so I don't know. I got HBO, Max, I
got that By the way, that was the dumbest thing
ever that changed h HBO one of the best known
brands in the world. Let's just drop that and call
it max. I don't understand that. But anyway, you guys,
I don't know, but don't watch this at night and
don't watch it. I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I'm shook. I gotta go home. I got a meeting
with this show. I got to finish it. But you
have to do it in the daytime.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yeah, I understand this whole heartedly. That's why I'm scattered
that little learned the lady from the Sleina.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Movie still to this day. Club manager, Yes, yes, yeah,
And that's why I don't have a fan club. I
watched my bay who try and kill me? You have
to c mob though, what's the f mob?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm a cartel. Yeah. I need dudes in suits and
guns follow me around. I need it. You know what
I need? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (17:58):
No, you do to protect you from the little orphan girls?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Wow, I to the end. I don't know. Maybe, but
the parents, the parents can't be all there because they
even say in the beginning like that. Somehow the parents
went from being like, you know, well adjusted, respected people
with money and stuff. Now apparently they're not and it
was gone. She did that, she missed them up. I
(18:21):
don't know see, but people are saying, you gotta you
gotta watch the whole thing, because that's what I'm saying.
I think there's a spin.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
She gives me the willies that either way, No.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's scary. And other people like, they put her in
this apartment and I'm trying not to ruin this for
anybody because I don't know the end, but they put
her in an apartment complex, and even her neighbors were like, yo, no,
like this ain't right.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
Yeah, eight year next to me by themselves.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She's going to kill you.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
My little neighbor's like, I'm gonna kill you later.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah. But it's so strange because you you'll see certain
pictures of her and you'll be like, gosh, she looks
like a kid, like a little kid, like truly, not
because she's small, but because she looks like a little kid, babyface.
And then the next one you're like, no, that's a
grown ass woman and she's angry and she not happy. No, yeah,
I don't watch it. Oh wait a second, so this
Hey Caitlin, Hello, Hi, so you you hear me talking
(19:14):
about this curious case of Natalia Grace and what it
reminds you of the orphan.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh yeah, so there's like a movie about the orphan.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Yeah, and it's like almost the exact same thing where
this family, like essentially Foster slash adopts this girl who
appears to be like ten years old and then it
turns out she's really like in her forties or fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I mean, that's basically this that's the premise here, but
it's what they got from this story. It's wild. You
got to you gotta. I mean, I'm telling people to
watch this, but it's creepy, like some of the people
in it are creeping out and I don't know. I
got to see the end. I got to see it through,
but my god, it's weird. Thank you, Caitlin.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
So I highly recommend watching that movie because it's essentially.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Exactly what you're saying, except obviously a.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Movie for I'm not here. Maybe I like that better
since it is not that's not real. This is real,
I guess. Thank you, have a great day, thanks for listening. Yeah,
there you go. So those are the two things they
got me staying up at night. I'm not well rested
the cure, and people keep asking what the show is
called The Curious Case of Natalia and Grace is what
(20:18):
it is, but that ain't right. He's so over dramatic. Yes,
I agree, Yeah, I'm reading all these texts. Yes, yes, waiting, Yeah,
if you don't want to sleep, watch this thing. It's cool.
Wait wait Fred's show is on it now, money show.
I don't mean to I'm not trying to pick on
(20:39):
gen Z because I feel like it's just it is
what it is. I think gen Z kind of got
crapped on in a lot of ways, you know, with
the whole this pandemic thing. You guys familiar with that.
The pandemic is like, you know, just a few months before,
we weren't able to do a lot of stuff. They
wear a mask, some restaurants for some restaurants were closed
(20:59):
becauseinesses and stuff like that. But gen Z workers who
spent their college years stuck at home during the pandemic
are being hired now to office jobs and they're having
to take courses or the offices of companies are encouraging
courses on how to send the emails, what to where,
(21:20):
and how to speak to others.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, yeary they need it, we need it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Mean, and again, I'm not picking on I don't mean
to be the older generation that's picking on the younger generation. No, no, no, no, no,
because I mean, we.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Got it, millennials, we got the worst, so bad. We're
so entitled blame for everything.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
God maybe were I don't know, were.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
You definitely not millennials.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, we're not entitled in itself.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Is entitled's given you are in time Gen Z workers
who came into adulthood. Adulthood. Where's adulthood? Alright, I know
where it is.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I want to close suspain across the water.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
The medics, rich, medicary, mediterane.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's where A don't That's where I don't hold profession is.
So graduates of the class of twenty twenty three began
college during the early days of covid UH in spring
of twenty twenty I meaning they missed out on learning
a lot of skills I guess, like talking to people.
New report explores how some companies are now offering recent
grads training on how to behave professionally at the office.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
KPMG, for example, is a company that provides tax and
advisory services It's one of the workplaces providing new hires
with training courses that cover how to talk to coworkers
in person, including the appropriate level of eye contact and pauses.
The company has found new hires are stiff, talk too fast,
or relied too much on filler words like New hires
(22:59):
will go to a training facil in Florida where they'll
practice different scenarios involving conflict with teams and how to
talk to a colleague. They'll learn tips like maintaining eye contact,
listening to others, taking pauses, and avoiding jargon. Michigan State
University now requires that many of its business majors take
courses that advanced skills like face to face networking good
(23:21):
aka like speak to people. Yep, I like that. I
need that. That's where we're at. That's where we're at
is people don't even know at this point how to
like interact with each other.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
I guess wait, I think you lose it too, Like
they lost it during the pandemic when they went to
school online.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know, I was you forget how to talk to people?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, some people were alone a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I mean that isn't that kind of innate?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Like what about the first eighteen years of your life.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, you're not little at eighteen, Kalin. I mean you're
grown up. You went through all of high school.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Now when you went to high school online. All the
eighteen year olds went to high school online. My sister
did for two years.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, but she's eighteen.
Speaker 9 (23:58):
You're talking so confused going to feel to your same
age in high school.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You know what I'm saying. When you get to the
real world, you're talking to adults. Well, but you're also
talking to be like close to your age too. That's lit.
You know what I'm saying. Don't want to.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
There's a lot of skills during the pandemic it studies
because their brains aren't developed till twenty five.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I feel like I lose skills every day.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Yeah, or I'm on my phone, the more I'm on
social media, Like, the less I talk, the less I even.
Speaker 11 (24:23):
You know how to do it, though it's harder. It's harder,
but it is a struggle. I'm dumber everything. Yeah, send
me to Florida. I want to take this class.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I just it's just crazy. This is crazy talk. I
choose not to talk to people, but I know how
to do it. I leave before I have to.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I hate to be this person too. I do think
the pandemic played a part in it. They were not
dealt the best, you know, hand with that situation.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Lood.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I hated with this person.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
But I do feel like a lot of it's just
like the gen z neis in them, like we see
it too sometimes, like they take a stand when they
don't want to do something. They take us stay, do
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That requires talking to people, So I guess they do
how to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
They do when they need to, let's just say that.
But I feel like, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
I feel like their parents probably did a lot of
things for them, appointment setting and all that, you know
what I mean, Like they're not used to talking to
adults in the real world and an office wearing slacks.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I'm more concerned experiential. I'm more concerned about the milestones
that that kids missed out on proms and and uh,
that's so sad, you know, just sporting events and and
that's that's what I'm way more worried about and sad
about that. I didn't realize we had to teach people
how to talk after four years of college and somehow
(25:34):
you got a job too, which means you had to interview.
So I guess you interviewed well enough, but then it
was like, I don't know where's I mean? Benjamin talks
fine sort of and he's of that generations he talks,
he looks good. Yeah, maybe I need you know what.
We're all going to this class. The fread show is
(25:55):
on it. Friend's Fun fact Fred Fun. Much more people
drown in deserts than die of thirst. What I love
the Yeah? Yeah, put that one your pipe and smoga
(26:16):
for a second. One would assume that dying of thirst
and dehydration would be the leading cause of death in
the desert, but surprisingly it's drowning. So rain in the
desert is infrequent, but when it does rain, it comes
on suddenly and heavily, and deserts don't have water drainage
systems in place, so the rains fall too fast for
the dry clay like soil to absorb it. Water overflow
(26:37):
becomes excessive, and that means that there's quicksand in storms
as well, which could lead to drowning by sandow.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Yeah, did you know that Antarctica is the world's largest desert? Yes,
because they calculate desert rainfall.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I gotta put some in my pipe smoke at now
to think just too much, too many facts more fread show.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Next, The Fresh Show is on.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I've been saying for a long time that I got problems,
you guys, I got problems. And I've been saying for
a long time I want to lose some weight. And
I really sort of I've taken some steps in the
last few days, you know, trying to eat a little
bit better, exercising and a little more like deliberately, you know.
I have a little diet plan I'm trying to follow,
which it's Bogo at pop Belly. So we can also
(27:27):
today's over, but I would throw that out of the
window completely. But my problem is that I get on
a scale like four or five times a day, hoping
that somehow the results are Franstan taintingbody else do this.
But I've been on a diet for three days and
I probably stood on the scale about forty times. And
(27:50):
I'm not exaggerating, like it'll be like an hour or
two and I haven't eaten anything, and then I'll go
and I'll stand on the scale and it will be
the same as it was three because it doesn't work
this way. Not only that, but it takes a while
for your body to like get in the routine of like, okay,
we're actually not going to consume ourselves with complete garbage.
And so I know it doesn't work that. But then
I'll like, I'll take all my clothes off, and I'll
(28:10):
be like, well that's what it was. That's why it
hasn't gone down here.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh my god, that's me at the doctor. I'm like,
can I take my shoes off? Can I take my
coat off?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
My top or all this estimate in my head will
be like, well, my clothesway at least seven example, so
which they don't, you know, they would maybe maybe a pound.
Maybe I can diet, like I mean, I'm I can't
even talk to see I'm so I'm starving myself. I'm
intermittent fasting, which I've been, which I've been doing anyway.
I think that's kind of the way a lot of
(28:38):
us live anyway. But the problem is when I do eat,
it's toxic garbage, it's it's it's nuclear waste, and so
that's I think it's really that simple for me. It's
just not eating crap. When I eat and I bought food,
and I'm like, it's not that hard if I you know,
I'm organized and I think about it, but I'm lazy,
(28:59):
and so I lot of times I don't I'm not
organized and I don't think about it anyway. So but
that's my thing is I'm obsessive about results, and so
I'm not embellishing. In three days, I've probably stood on
the thing and then I replaced the batteries at one
point because I'm like, well, this can't be right, Like
I don't think this thing is accurate. Oh my god, tot.
(29:23):
But I've gotten on this scale no fewer than forty times,
and it has gone down in three days, but not
nearly at the rate that I would like. I need
it to happen a lot faster. So I'd like to
say I need results. I'm a results oriented human being.
I sessed over the ratings. I sess over my weight now,
but like, as soon as i go home, I'm gonna
(29:45):
go jump on it. I'm going to get naked. I'm
gonna jump on it, yep. And then I'm gonna eat
my pot belly after that
The Fresh Show is on. I know that you were
sitting around thinking about my side hustle as a as
a kid, as a teenager. As you know, I was
a web designer, big time web designer in the in
the late nineties. I had really no idea, no idea
(00:20):
how to do it whatsoever. I had. I literally had
that book that says web pages for dummies, you know
the ones I don't even know they still make those books, yellow, yellow,
litting out dummy for everything, you know whatever. I honestly
used that book to sell a web page to one
person in high school because my dad told me to,
because he's an entrepreneur and he was like, figure out
(00:41):
how to make some money for yourself. And I guess
that was my side host. So that, of course, and
I'm going esteemed alumnus of the Blockbuster video mega franchise
that it was, you know, basically I was, I'm part
of the culture. What was the culture?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
He really was BBB. Yeah, I'm bb again.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
S mob.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It was a little different than the se mob. We
all wear the same blue shirts.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Well, b B, I have that bb L That's what
I have.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I want to be clear anyway, girl.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Then sorry, Hobby. So anyway, what was you You were
talking about your side hustle though, and this is way
better than mine.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Oh yeah, it's a proud moment of mine. Of course.
I think it's kind of how I got started in
just the hustle culture.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Will So we were watching that movie Flame and Hot
that just came out, and we were watching it, and
in the movie The Little Boy, he started slaying to
Molly's at school to his friends, and and my fiance
Hobby goes, WHOA like hustler? You know. It was like
all phase by it, and I was like, oh, that's nothing,
And I was like, when I was about eighth grade
is when it started. At the same I used to
take my step dads and my mom's cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
You guys, I can't say cigarettes are serious, says she
says them.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Wait, I've never heard you say you're you're serious.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Dead ass cigarettes cigarettes.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Cigarettes, grits hire syllables. Cigarettes.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I would say, a pack of SIGs, okay. I would
take the SIGs and I would.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I would sell tup to kids like kids, I'm like,
my confidence, are you still doing this?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Are you the person like, hey, ma'am, can you get
me a six pag of beer, you know from the
high school kid when you're rolling.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
In, like, are you handing out cancer to kids?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You? This is what you're doing now? I wouldn't never mean,
I know that we pay everybody more, but seriously, like
we're selling cigarettes to kids now?
Speaker 5 (02:38):
No, I mean some days it might, well I want
to do that, but I will never.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I want to do that. How old were you when
you were doing this?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I was about twelve, twelve years old.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
You steal your parents cigarettes, yes, I would, and you
sell them to your your peers.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
My peers, yes, because it was like I was the
plug and I had it because it was a lot
at the house.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So we're all addicted.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I always thought it was saying because you're selling them cigarettes,
I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy what you were selling it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I had the stuff at home, Okay, I had options.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Oh you didn't. Yeah, what were the options? You remember?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Yes, Marble lights, Marble I can't say it, Marble lights,
and then Salem slim lights of course, okay, yeah, those
were those were the two packs and then the green pack,
and then when times got tougher, I would take the
four for a dollar, you know, because at the time
it was four four dollar chips, which all the good
old days, I know. So I would sell them for
a dollar each and kids would pay it because they
want the chips on the spot, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
So twenty five cents turn into a dollars. Yeah, wow,
they paid for convenience.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
A hustler from the earliest age, I think.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
So I like to say I was.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
No, I like it. I gotta be honest. I don't
really love the cigarettes, partner, No, I don't love it.
I'm afraid of that word because I just don't want
it to come out. I don't know what. I'm not
going to do that anymore. And like many things, I'll
probably say that. There are so many words I have
to think about now before they come out of my
mouth because of you, because I'm not sure if I'm
the one saying it wrong.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Oh, my whole vocabulary is messed up on a hustle
that was not as dangerous for kids.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh that's good if you guys are interested.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, no, I'd love to hear about the not dangerous hustle.
Speaker 7 (04:08):
So, you know, like golf tours will come to town,
and yeah, parking can be nuts.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Oh like PGA, like Tiger Woods or whatever.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
One of those tours was at like a bougie country
club in Michigan. And so my friend and I in
high school rode on my car with one of those
car markers that we would drive people into the.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Tour from the parking that was far away.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, because it was very far away.
Speaker 8 (04:32):
So that's uhber over here uber Yeah, and we have
the ingenuity here.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
Yeah, I love get a ton of cash And we
were basically doing uber and lyft in high school.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Wow, so you invented it basically.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
Well, I wouldn't say what kind of sounds like it now?
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Three five? I don't have a ton of time to
call now, or you can text the same number. But
what was your side hustle as a kid? Rufio? Obviously
you had several too. He went to jail for a
couple of years.
Speaker 9 (04:57):
Well, mine was also in like middle school, Like I said,
with the eighth grade I was taking. I was selling
candy out of my backpack every day. It was selling
em and ms. Don't ask me how I got the
eminem as, you stole them? What I was selling it
for a dollar walking around. I used to wear my
backpack in the front, like you know what I'm saying, like, oh,
and then I would just reach into my pocket. I
(05:18):
had Peanut the plane, I get em and Emmy and
they were a dollar. And that's what I did. My
other hustle I did was I'm pretty good at I'm
a huge Michael Jordan fan, right, the biggest, And I
could sign that man's autograph like nothing. And I was
selling cards the kids for like twenty five dollars, like
(05:39):
a you know, like a Fleer card that's like probably
like less than a dollar. And I would just sign
it and put it in the sleep and then sell
it to a random kid for twenty five bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah they believed you. Yeah, I had an autograph Michael
Jordan card. Oh my god. And then I would just
so there are people out there that think they have
an autograph card that you that you forged. Yeah, I
could sign it right now. I can sign anything you
want for my car. They're gonna go on pond starts
and be like, yeah, this guy Kevin in high school,
he was so generous. It was such a good deal.
Speaker 9 (06:07):
Michael Jordan stige that you did. The one thing that
stands out the m Yeah, like it looks like a
twenty three. I got that, I got my mom's autograph down,
and I got my.
Speaker 10 (06:21):
Day.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I needed to get out of school summer.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Oh yeah, I remember. I used to try and and
this wasn't a hustle like you remember. And again just
gonna make us sound old, but collected the basketball cards
and then they had the becket and it's online now,
but it came out like whatever weekly or monthly, and
it had the prices of all the cards, and I
would sell. I would pull cards, buy a lot of them,
(06:44):
and then I would sell them to people based on
whatever that price was. And parents would call my house
and be like to my parents, Christopher selling, you know,
ripping my kid off or whatever, because I guess in
many people's minds it was trading. We were supposed to
just trade card for card. It's like, no, this is
you know how much that past? My parents would be like, no,
you just have to give them away, like this costs money,
(07:07):
but it's supposed to be sports card training. It's like no,
some are worth more than others, Like you'll just give
this stuff away. I can remember more than once my
mom would come in the room, like someone's complaining that
you're selling your basketball cards again. I'm like, but mom,
that's what there was. There's no mark up. I'm not
selling fake autograms like my friend Rufi over here, Pizza Pad,
(07:28):
what's up, Pizza Pad, Morning friends, Pizza Pad your your hustle?
And was his high school?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Yeah, so it was started software year high school. Went
to the home depot I'm like twenty six in Cicero
and there was all like the like the migrant workers
out there, and I asked them, you know where they
got their you know, their IDs from, and they gave
me one of the guy's numbers. And it was thirty
bucks for them to make the ID. All you had
(08:00):
to provide them was a picture and the info you
wanted on it. So I took that and went back
to my high school and just offered it to everybody
for one hundred and twenty. So I was making one
hundred dollars on.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Every So you were you were the middleman committing a
federal crime.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Basically innovatives. I want elegend over here. Yeah, pizza Pad

hate to say it's smart, but he was smart. Yeah,
thank you, Pizza Pat had a good date.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
It was a revolving door of clients.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Dude, he must have made a ton, you must How
much money do you think you made doing this?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
All? Right? So at one point, not can you? I
had to call uh my cousin who was a police
officer to come with me. So I thought I was
gonna get robbed. Uh At one point I had like
nine thousand dollars in cash from all the details.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Wow, I mean still Mr Kiki's are going to home

the Dew's Middle School. What's that plug? Yeah? Oh my god?
Hey Matt, Hey, how you doing? Matt? What was your
(09:17):
your hustle? When was it and what was it? So
this was back in two thousand and four, two thousand
and five.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I used to show my leftover live f FA chickens
down in Houston, Texas.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
What is the future Farmers of America? Is that what
FFA is?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Right?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Right? So you raised chickens like at the house, I
had them at the barn. Yeah yeah, okay, and then
you would bring them to school and what would people
do with They'd take them home and eat them or
what would they do? Oh boy, yeah, their parents. Their
parents would come pick them up five dollars a chicken.
They'd take them home and eat them or do whatever
they wanted.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
But it was quick and easy cash for me.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Oh okay, oh wow, okay, but I wasn't expecting that.
Thank you, Matt, have a good day. Okay. Chickens, Why
don't you think of that?
Speaker 9 (10:04):
Rufio, No, son of my I don't have I'm not
equipped for that.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
No you don't know. Wow, well, well she won't be
in a parking lot of home. Depoil a little bit,
but selling chickens and fakes?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
What was yours?
Speaker 6 (10:22):
I'm definitely doing that, but mine's was. I'm a security business.
I ran a security business in school.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
My brother was like one of the tough kids, and
I would be like, you know, if you want to
pay for security services, then you pay us. He'll secure
you and make sure no bullies mess with you. And
it worked out very well. We were very paid. How
old were you about eleven?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And so you'd say, look, no one will give you
a hard time about anything if you get how much money.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm scared to say this.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
One kid his parents must have kept only cash in
the house because he was giving us like hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Wow, he never got beaten up, never got beaten up.
He kept the bullies off of here. Kiki's personal secure
better than chickens. Yeah, they talk better than they These
are the radio blogs on The Fresh Show. All right,
So it's like writing in our diaries. I'm gonna do
(11:14):
one today, dear blog. This has never happened to me before,
but it's happening to me now for some reason. But
I don't think I can watch scary TV before I
go to bed. I think it's affecting my sleep in
my dreams. And this has never happened to me my
whole life. I've heard people talk about this being a problem.
I've never had this happen to me. It started last
(11:37):
week when I decided out of nowhere that I was
gonna start watching Narcos again, that show on Netflix. I
watched season one and two, and then I don't know,
I just didn't. I didn't watch three for some reason.
And then I went back and decided to watch season three.
And it is really pretty graphic that show, Like they're
killing a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (11:55):
Yes, they are.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
This is always dead people in these cartels. Man, I
don't want to be in a cartel unless I always
liked it. I've just said, unless I can be the
cartel leader. But even then those guys get killed. Two. Yes,
Like being a cartel leader would be sort of boss
like you can have like you know what, Pablo Escobar
(12:16):
had houses with zoos in him and hippos and hippo.
I mean, I want to have a hippo. I just
don't want to have to be in a cartel to
do it, you know, so I don't. I'm not going
to be in a cartel anymore. Okay, Okay, good for you. Good,
good decision. I was thinking about it. I think I
kind of I run a cartel now. I feel like
and it's this cartel. It's it's the Fred cartel, the
Fred Show cartel. You guys are all my assassins, and
(12:37):
I feel like I run a small gang as it
is right now.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Mob.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Yeah, well, I think I like that one matter. Either
one would work though legal name, fake name, it doesn't matter.
They both want You didn't know when you created the
c Mob in high school that you really was prophetic,
that you were really going to wind up working with
a Christopher Yep. I had no idea. Yeah, okay, so
I am a cartel leader. I need a hip some
one get me a hip hop. But the other thing
(13:02):
I started watching and my sister told me, like, this
will happen, Like she said that. She started watching it,
and it got to the point after two episodes where
they were watching it in bed and she wouldn't even
get out of bed to go get water. She was
so scared it's cold. I don't know how I missed this.
It's on Investigation Discovery. I don't even know when it
started airing, maybe a month ago or something. It's called
(13:22):
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace. Have you ever heard
of this? Now? I'm only two or three episodes in,
so I don't really know what the outcome is and
don't tell me. But basically it's a paraphrase. It's the
story of a family that adopted a small person little
(13:44):
yes yes, yes, from the Ukraine that like or not
the Ukraine, Americans say the Ukraine. I recently met a
Ukrainian who's like, don't say that it's Ukraine. I don't
know why people say that, so I'm sorry. Ukraine Ukraine,
but like at least one other family had just relinquished this,
like adopted her in the mid like nope, And then
(14:05):
this one family winds up with her and it turns
out that like they thought she was eight, yeah, and
then but there are reasons like that she couldn't be
eight that they get very specific about, so that like, Okay,
well she's not eight, she's got to be at least
a teenager. And then they, I don't know you could
do this. I'm not giving anything away, really, I don't
(14:26):
know you could do this though, but they re aged
her legally and decided she had to be like twenty
four or something. So it turns out this kid's not
a kid. The kid also apparently wants to kill everybody
in the family that she just adopted or was just
adopted by. You can't just give a kid back. But
(14:48):
then the flip side is that the family may have
made this whole thing up too, so like I'm in
the midst of this, so she's definitely older than she said.
But then on the flip side, the family they're saying
wasn't they weren't good people either. That's sort of the
way it's leaning again, I'm only halfway through, so I
don't know what happens, but like, there's just a lot
(15:09):
of weirdness going on here. But at one point, this
little person, I mean a little she's a little person,
and it turns out she's older than like eight. They
thought she was eight, but she's not. And then they
like one day they're like, well you're not eight, so here,
here's an apartment. Uh huh, you just live here now,
and then they just leave her. There is just a
(15:32):
wild old story.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
You couldn't handle her.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Well because apparently she was saying she was gonna kill everybody,
and then she would sort of admit to that, and
then it would come back that like maybe the parents
weren't all that, maybe they made some of it up,
because there are certain people saying that certain events that
happened they didn't happen that way. I don't know. I'm
in the middle of this thing trying to figure out
what the hell's going on, and it's freaking me the
hell out.
Speaker 7 (15:56):
So your sister is scared that that little woman is
going to be in her Pacific house, She's going to
get water.
Speaker 9 (16:02):
I don't know, like an adult, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Put that don't put that in your mind.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Angel.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I mean, probably's an consertive young lady.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
But I don't think I have a Halloween costume.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
I don't know. I'm only halfway through, so I gotta
keep watching it. But it's someone said, this is based
on a true story. No, no, it is a true story.
It's not based on her. It is a true thing.
And see here people are saying, watch till the end,
it might change your opinion. It's really said, No, I
I do know. And that's what I'm saying is I'm
halfway through, and I don't know what I believe. I
(16:41):
believe that she's older than she thought she was, or
that she was saying she was. I don't know how
much control over that narrative she I don't know, got it,
got it? It's just so crazy. But anyway, it's called
The Curious Case of Natalia Grace and it's on I
mean you can stream it like on Pomcast, Infinity, whatever
it is. There's a bunch of different I watch it
(17:04):
on Yeah, like on hand.
Speaker 9 (17:06):
I think it's up because that investigation idea is owned
by Max.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Okay, so I don't know. I got HBO, Max, I
got that By the way, that was the dumbest thing
ever that changed h HBO one of the best known
brands in the world. Let's just drop that and call
it max. I don't understand that. But anyway, you guys,
I don't know, but don't watch this at night and
don't watch it. I don't.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I'm shook. I gotta go home. I got a meeting
with this show. I got to finish it. But you
have to do it in the daytime.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (17:33):
Yeah, I understand this whole heartedly. That's why I'm scattered
that little learned the lady from the Sleina.
Speaker 8 (17:38):
Movie still to this day. Club manager, Yes, yes, yeah,
And that's why I don't have a fan club. I
watched my bay who try and kill me? You have
to c mob though, what's the f mob?
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
I'm a cartel. Yeah. I need dudes in suits and
guns follow me around. I need it. You know what
I need? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (17:58):
No, you do to protect you from the little orphan girls?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Wow, I to the end. I don't know. Maybe, but
the parents, the parents can't be all there because they
even say in the beginning like that. Somehow the parents
went from being like, you know, well adjusted, respected people
with money and stuff. Now apparently they're not and it
was gone. She did that, she missed them up. I
(18:21):
don't know see, but people are saying, you gotta you
gotta watch the whole thing, because that's what I'm saying.
I think there's a spin.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
She gives me the willies that either way, No.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
It's scary. And other people like, they put her in
this apartment and I'm trying not to ruin this for
anybody because I don't know the end, but they put
her in an apartment complex, and even her neighbors were like, yo, no,
like this ain't right.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
Yeah, eight year next to me by themselves.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
She's going to kill you.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
My little neighbor's like, I'm gonna kill you later.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah. But it's so strange because you you'll see certain
pictures of her and you'll be like, gosh, she looks
like a kid, like a little kid, like truly, not
because she's small, but because she looks like a little kid, babyface.
And then the next one you're like, no, that's a
grown ass woman and she's angry and she not happy. No, yeah,
I don't watch it. Oh wait a second, so this
Hey Caitlin, Hello, Hi, so you you hear me talking
(19:14):
about this curious case of Natalia Grace and what it
reminds you of the orphan.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Oh yeah, so there's like a movie about the orphan.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Yeah, and it's like almost the exact same thing where
this family, like essentially Foster slash adopts this girl who
appears to be like ten years old and then it
turns out she's really like in her forties or fifty.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
I mean, that's basically this that's the premise here, but
it's what they got from this story. It's wild. You
got to you gotta. I mean, I'm telling people to
watch this, but it's creepy, like some of the people
in it are creeping out and I don't know. I
got to see the end. I got to see it through,
but my god, it's weird. Thank you, Caitlin.
Speaker 6 (19:53):
Yep.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
So I highly recommend watching that movie because it's essentially.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Exactly what you're saying, except obviously a.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Movie for I'm not here. Maybe I like that better
since it is not that's not real. This is real,
I guess. Thank you, have a great day, thanks for listening. Yeah,
there you go. So those are the two things they
got me staying up at night. I'm not well rested
the cure, and people keep asking what the show is
called The Curious Case of Natalia and Grace is what
(20:18):
it is, but that ain't right. He's so over dramatic. Yes,
I agree, Yeah, I'm reading all these texts. Yes, yes, waiting, Yeah,
if you don't want to sleep, watch this thing. It's cool.
Wait wait Fred's show is on it now, money show.
I don't mean to I'm not trying to pick on
(20:39):
gen Z because I feel like it's just it is
what it is. I think gen Z kind of got
crapped on in a lot of ways, you know, with
the whole this pandemic thing. You guys familiar with that.
The pandemic is like, you know, just a few months before,
we weren't able to do a lot of stuff. They
wear a mask, some restaurants for some restaurants were closed
(20:59):
becauseinesses and stuff like that. But gen Z workers who
spent their college years stuck at home during the pandemic
are being hired now to office jobs and they're having
to take courses or the offices of companies are encouraging
courses on how to send the emails, what to where,
(21:20):
and how to speak to others.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Yeah, yeary they need it, we need it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Mean, and again, I'm not picking on I don't mean
to be the older generation that's picking on the younger generation. No, no, no, no, no,
because I mean, we.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Got it, millennials, we got the worst, so bad. We're
so entitled blame for everything.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
God maybe were I don't know, were.
Speaker 10 (21:43):
You definitely not millennials.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
No, we're not entitled in itself.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Is entitled's given you are in time Gen Z workers
who came into adulthood. Adulthood. Where's adulthood? Alright, I know
where it is.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
I want to close suspain across the water.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
The medics, rich, medicary, mediterane.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's where A don't That's where I don't hold profession is.
So graduates of the class of twenty twenty three began
college during the early days of covid UH in spring
of twenty twenty I meaning they missed out on learning
a lot of skills I guess, like talking to people.
New report explores how some companies are now offering recent
grads training on how to behave professionally at the office.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
KPMG, for example, is a company that provides tax and
advisory services It's one of the workplaces providing new hires
with training courses that cover how to talk to coworkers
in person, including the appropriate level of eye contact and pauses.
The company has found new hires are stiff, talk too fast,
or relied too much on filler words like New hires
(22:59):
will go to a training facil in Florida where they'll
practice different scenarios involving conflict with teams and how to
talk to a colleague. They'll learn tips like maintaining eye contact,
listening to others, taking pauses, and avoiding jargon. Michigan State
University now requires that many of its business majors take
courses that advanced skills like face to face networking good
(23:21):
aka like speak to people. Yep, I like that. I
need that. That's where we're at. That's where we're at
is people don't even know at this point how to
like interact with each other.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
I guess wait, I think you lose it too, Like
they lost it during the pandemic when they went to
school online.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
You know, I was you forget how to talk to people?
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, some people were alone a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I mean that isn't that kind of innate?
Speaker 4 (23:44):
Like what about the first eighteen years of your life.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Well, you're not little at eighteen, Kalin. I mean you're
grown up. You went through all of high school.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Now when you went to high school online. All the
eighteen year olds went to high school online. My sister
did for two years.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, but she's eighteen.
Speaker 9 (23:58):
You're talking so confused going to feel to your same
age in high school.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You know what I'm saying. When you get to the
real world, you're talking to adults. Well, but you're also
talking to be like close to your age too. That's lit.
You know what I'm saying. Don't want to.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
There's a lot of skills during the pandemic it studies
because their brains aren't developed till twenty five.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
I feel like I lose skills every day.
Speaker 6 (24:16):
Yeah, or I'm on my phone, the more I'm on
social media, Like, the less I talk, the less I even.
Speaker 11 (24:23):
You know how to do it, though it's harder. It's harder,
but it is a struggle. I'm dumber everything. Yeah, send
me to Florida. I want to take this class.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I just it's just crazy. This is crazy talk. I
choose not to talk to people, but I know how
to do it. I leave before I have to.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
I hate to be this person too. I do think
the pandemic played a part in it. They were not
dealt the best, you know, hand with that situation.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Lood.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
I hated with this person.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
But I do feel like a lot of it's just
like the gen z neis in them, like we see
it too sometimes, like they take a stand when they
don't want to do something. They take us stay, do
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That requires talking to people, So I guess they do
how to do it.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
They do when they need to, let's just say that.
But I feel like, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (25:06):
I feel like their parents probably did a lot of
things for them, appointment setting and all that, you know
what I mean, Like they're not used to talking to
adults in the real world and an office wearing slacks.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I'm more concerned experiential. I'm more concerned about the milestones
that that kids missed out on proms and and uh,
that's so sad, you know, just sporting events and and
that's that's what I'm way more worried about and sad
about that. I didn't realize we had to teach people
how to talk after four years of college and somehow
(25:34):
you got a job too, which means you had to interview.
So I guess you interviewed well enough, but then it
was like, I don't know where's I mean? Benjamin talks
fine sort of and he's of that generations he talks,
he looks good. Yeah, maybe I need you know what.
We're all going to this class. The fread show is
(25:55):
on it. Friend's Fun fact Fred Fun. Much more people
drown in deserts than die of thirst. What I love
the Yeah? Yeah, put that one your pipe and smoga
(26:16):
for a second. One would assume that dying of thirst
and dehydration would be the leading cause of death in
the desert, but surprisingly it's drowning. So rain in the
desert is infrequent, but when it does rain, it comes
on suddenly and heavily, and deserts don't have water drainage
systems in place, so the rains fall too fast for
the dry clay like soil to absorb it. Water overflow
(26:37):
becomes excessive, and that means that there's quicksand in storms
as well, which could lead to drowning by sandow.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 9 (26:45):
Yeah, did you know that Antarctica is the world's largest desert? Yes,
because they calculate desert rainfall.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I gotta put some in my pipe smoke at now
to think just too much, too many facts more fread show.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Next, The Fresh Show is on.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I've been saying for a long time that I got problems,
you guys, I got problems. And I've been saying for
a long time I want to lose some weight. And
I really sort of I've taken some steps in the
last few days, you know, trying to eat a little
bit better, exercising and a little more like deliberately, you know.
I have a little diet plan I'm trying to follow,
which it's Bogo at pop Belly. So we can also
(27:27):
today's over, but I would throw that out of the
window completely. But my problem is that I get on
a scale like four or five times a day, hoping
that somehow the results are Franstan taintingbody else do this.
But I've been on a diet for three days and
I probably stood on the scale about forty times. And
(27:50):
I'm not exaggerating, like it'll be like an hour or
two and I haven't eaten anything, and then I'll go
and I'll stand on the scale and it will be
the same as it was three because it doesn't work
this way. Not only that, but it takes a while
for your body to like get in the routine of like, okay,
we're actually not going to consume ourselves with complete garbage.
And so I know it doesn't work that. But then
I'll like, I'll take all my clothes off, and I'll
(28:10):
be like, well that's what it was. That's why it
hasn't gone down here.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Oh my god, that's me at the doctor. I'm like,
can I take my shoes off? Can I take my
coat off?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
My top or all this estimate in my head will
be like, well, my clothesway at least seven example, so
which they don't, you know, they would maybe maybe a pound.
Maybe I can diet, like I mean, I'm I can't
even talk to see I'm so I'm starving myself. I'm
intermittent fasting, which I've been, which I've been doing anyway.
I think that's kind of the way a lot of
(28:38):
us live anyway. But the problem is when I do eat,
it's toxic garbage, it's it's it's nuclear waste, and so
that's I think it's really that simple for me. It's
just not eating crap. When I eat and I bought food,
and I'm like, it's not that hard if I you know,
I'm organized and I think about it, but I'm lazy,
(28:59):
and so I lot of times I don't I'm not
organized and I don't think about it anyway. So but
that's my thing is I'm obsessive about results, and so
I'm not embellishing. In three days, I've probably stood on
the thing and then I replaced the batteries at one
point because I'm like, well, this can't be right, Like
I don't think this thing is accurate. Oh my god, tot.
(29:23):
But I've gotten on this scale no fewer than forty times,
and it has gone down in three days, but not
nearly at the rate that I would like. I need
it to happen a lot faster. So I'd like to
say I need results. I'm a results oriented human being.
I sessed over the ratings. I sess over my weight now,
but like, as soon as i go home, I'm gonna
(29:45):
go jump on it. I'm going to get naked. I'm
gonna jump on it, yep. And then I'm gonna eat
my pot belly after that
