Speaker 1 (00:00):
I wanted to make sure that you guys knew the
latest in work lingo, because you know how much I
love a work phrase and what happens around here. I'm
not sure if everyone's work is like this, but the
guys in like New York, like the chief suits, they
start using terms and then it just trickles its way
down to where like it's like almost a race on

(00:21):
the local level to see who can introduce the latest
buzz term because it kind of means you're in the know, Like, well,
you must have been in that lead table meeting, you
must have been in that board meeting if you knew
that we call presentations prezzies. Now, yeah, we got to
get that prezzi ready. That's not even the term though. Yeah,
we got to get that prezzi ready, you know for

(00:42):
the low hanging fruit that we got because we're circling
the wagons right now, and yeah, you know, we got
to get the prezzy the deck into a prezzi form.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
No.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Double click double click is the new corporate term that
you've got to know. Double click one of the fastest
spreading corps cliches. It would mean for someone to elaborate
or explain further, so like when Pauline, it was like,
what if she dropped that her husband was just going
on vacation without her, with his whole family. The can't
coon to get hammered and she has to stay home, Like,

(01:14):
can we double click on that for a second, because
I need to know a little more about what you
know what, that's my job every day. What I do
is you guys say something, and I decide who to
double click on. And and today was Paulina so far
you know double click Like I didn't think that was
because I'll say sorry for the double tap if I
accidentally email you twice in a row. So I thought

(01:35):
maybe it was that, Okay, some other move the needle.
We would roll her the move. We got to think
outside the box, guys. Low hanging fruit that's on this list.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Low hanging fruit, Yeah, does just sound not good? Like
visualize that.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
I mean, hey, Paulina, look, we got to get our
ducks in a row, get back to the drying board,
and at the end of the day, the business that
we're looking for, it's the low hanging fruit, you know
what I mean, It's just the stuff right here in
front of us.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
The end of the day, the day's got to end
put it in the think tank.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
But it's like, ah, it's just there'll be some corporate
thing and our CEO will be like, well, the elephant
in the room, you know, and then everybody's like, well
the elephant in the room. I mean, you know, we
got to you know, hit the ground running, running up
the flagpole. See if the cat licks it up. That's
that's a business term. See if the cat.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Now, hold on a second, the peanut bottom.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Jason, I want you to introduce that one in a
very serious form in the next executive meeting. I want
you to be like, you know, I got some ideas
and I guess we can see if the cat licks
it up.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Let me know, if the cat licks it up?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
What you not just say it with a straight face,
like to you know, to Daddy Bob, our chairman. You know,
Daddy Bob is like, well, I think we should boom
boom Fred into space with the iHeartRadio app. And you
should be like, we'll see if the cat licks set up.
You know that's right today, Yeah, reinvent the wheel. Let

(03:03):
me see here, too many cooks in the kitchen. Well,
we're trying to be the iPod of or the uber
of you know, like synergy. Oh yeah, we love that one.
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, guys, I
don't know is that is that one.

Speaker 4 (03:20):

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I think you're spinning a lot of plates right now. Yes, yeah,
well yeah, spinning lots of plates. Let me see here,
let's peel back to the onion. Oh God Jesus, mission critical?
What are we like?

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Mission critical?

Speaker 1 (03:35):

now that can't get those two people home? That's mission critical? Yeah?
All right, well, boil the boil the ocean. Have you
heard that one? Boil the ocean? Look for a needle
in a haystack. But at the end of the day,
what you're trying to say is, let's just be realistic
with our goals. Trim the fats on my radar, drink

the kool aid, look under the hood, lots of moving parts. Oh,
we got to call on the swat team, calling the
sweat all hands on deck, hands on deck. Yeah. Yeah.
They used to do that with the radio stations too.
They used to swat the radio stations like we're like
random assigned people would listen and then give a report.
Swat it like put on put on like bulletproof vests,

(04:21):
and I mean, I mean it's you know, swat, Come on,
I say, like, how self important is some of this stuff?
Like military precision? No business is business fax a fects.
Someone just texted that. Is that okay? Is that what
some people are saying? Yeah, I gotta text one of
the suits and see if I can get the rest

(04:42):
of the buzz terms that everyone's using right now, because
I think those sound old to me. I think there's
even newer ones now. But it makes you sound cool,
and it makes you sound like you've been watching a
lot of that, Like, uh, CNBC, you know what I mean? Whatever,
whatever shows are on that CNBC. It's like you've been
watching squawk Box. Whatever's done that thing. That's a real show,

since two o'clock. Harley Bird gets the worm?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh yeah, did you get the worm? Do you feel
like he got the worm?

here at a certain time. But he wanted you to
take it to the airport first. No, I mean, well,
he had flight to catch. I mean he had to
be on the flight a certain time. It's not going
to wait for him. Flights don't wait for you. But

parents as well because they were gonna take an Uber,
and I was like, I can go get you.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Like, I'm right here, my god, I live two seconds.

Speaker 5 (06:54):
I live next door to the airport, like next door,

three three in the morning, like I'm not just getting
up an extra Maybe this.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
Is why I'm no, I'm already.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
You don't have that many friends because I'm not giving.
If somebody called me and they were like, hey, I
know you get up at four, so would you get
up at three and drive into the airport, I'd be
like no.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I would say no, No, I'm up already. I did
not mind.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I'm just feel some have a way because I want
to be on that plane. I've never been so jealous
of a group of people boarding a Southwest flight in
my life. And I'm like, if I could go to
the Bahamas right now, like that would.

Speaker 3 (07:31):
Really just suit.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Okay, so let's discuss how this came about. Yeah, so
there's a vacation going on apparently Big One, and you
opted not to go. So it's all his family and him,
every single person. Okay, And what's the purpose of this trip?

Speaker 4 (07:46):
Is my mother in law's fiftieth birthday? Okay, a happy birthday?

Speaker 6 (07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I always getting together. And then you were invited, of course,
of course, but then you decided because of Gigi or whatever,
you want to stay back gig my.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Little job.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
This.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's not a good time to go, and
I'm okay with it.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So you were like, okay, go ahead and go.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
You have let him go. Wow, I know I'm a
good wife, right.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
No, I mean you are a good wife, and it's
a nice thing to do.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Cost him, but I'm a good wife. Yeah, what is
it going to cost him?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Are you going to be passive aggressive with him the
whole time? Like when he's gone, he's gonna be like
that must be nice.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
Oh you know I am because off like all night,
you know, yeah, I'm the cool wife. And then when
he goes, I'm gonna really just punish exaction.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
But why do that because you approved it.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
I did approve it, proved vacation, I proved this time off.
I did, I said, he can go.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
He's been working a lot, he's and working really hard,
and I respect that, but I don't think I wasn't
on price line last night looking at my.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
Own flights to go to my own little trip.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah okay, So that's the thing. So then when you're
ready to go on yours, like when you want to
go do something with your friends, he'll say yes to that.

Speaker 7 (08:49):
Yeah, oh oh oh yeah okay. And if you don't
do it, that's okay too. No good, I'm going. I
mean that's I respect both sides. You know you weren't
ready to leave your kid yet, No, I mean you
need it here. I mean, my god, the show cannot go.
You can't.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
So thank you for thinking of us as well your
work friends.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Literally, Yeah, me and Jason really wouldn't be on the
air right now.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well I don't know that we would because I don't
really know what the hell you guys do. So I
we're just winging it nothing I know the on and
then we say some stuff and then I played songs
sometimes and that's what I know how to do, as
far as like the dew flat cheese and this, and.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Yeah, they talk better than they say these are the
radio blogs on the Fred Show.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Like for writing in our diaries, except we say them aloud.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
We call them blogs. Klin, Yes, are you ready?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yes? So the floor is yours.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Thank you, dear blog.

Speaker 8 (09:45):
So if you listen every day, you may remember a
couple months ago we talked about this. But we have
a really big gumball machine in the office. And yes,
Jason was responsible in figuring out how that got up here.
Logistically it was a big song and dance. We have
a lot of off of Shenanigans.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
But this one I'm okay with. So basically, if you
get nominated.

Speaker 8 (10:10):
For I think it's Employee of the Quarter, which we
do at staff meetings, then you get this little coin
to go in the big gumball machine.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I feel like you left. Did you leave that early?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
I saw you?

Speaker 3 (10:23):
I saw you, and.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Well I could be happy with other people's success and
and I can because I'm never gonna win Employee of
the Quarter. I'll never be nominated either. You just want
to happen. Yeah, I'm Shenanigans. I think, I you know what.
I'm nominated myself one time and they didn't put me
on the thing exactly. I know it's Shenanigans. No, I've
not yet done that, but I've considered, like writing from
a Gmail account like Veronica over here. My favorite coworker

(10:48):
is Fredd. He's so kind anyway. But you know, and
so I did. I saw you win, and I remember,
for whatever reason, it was a time when I think
you needed to win and you gotta win.

Speaker 8 (10:57):
Yeah, yeah, Jason said, you know, after a couple he
was like, I think this is your year, and I
didn't believe him.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
And it certainly was.

Speaker 8 (11:03):
So I won a trip along with a couple of
other co workers. We don't have to go together, but
we all want a trip to anywhere we wanted, which,
if you watch the video, I almost like my heart
literally almost stopped. I was like, oh my god, I've
never won anything, and this is the best thing ever
to win.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
So it's she picked the Boeing star Liner trip to
the space station.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
I did.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
She's a little bit delayed to get the thing back.
Pray I get stuck.

Speaker 8 (11:27):
So I've always wanted to go to Greece.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I don't know why.

Speaker 8 (11:30):
It's been a dream trip of mine and I've I've
never really gotten to pick where I was going. I
feel like it's always for a wedding or whatever. So
I won this trip and super excited. I wanted to
take it next year, but you know the way things
work around here, I was a little nervous I might
lose the opportunity and it sounded like that maybe, so
I am taking.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
It in August.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
At the end of August, and at the time that
I won, I was like, well, who am I going
to take?

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Because I had just started talking.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
To someone that you guys know, I am now dating.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
And that's a lot. I mean, that's a lot.

Speaker 8 (12:01):
Especially at the time, and I'm like, okay, well, I.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
Would love to take my mom, but I.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
Want to get crunk on this trip, and my mom
would be like, that's enough.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I wanted to maybe take my.

Speaker 8 (12:10):
Sister, but you know, I want to be able to
have someone that I can turn my brain off with
or that will be like an equal partner, and I
have to mother my sister.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
And also she won't pay for anything.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
So you know, so there's that. So I ended up
waiting a little while mulling it over, and I decided
to ask my boyfriend if he wanted to go. I mean,
I'm like, this is really crazy. You can say no,
because leaving the country this early in a relationship is
pretty nuts.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
He said, yes, but he thought his passport was valid.
He just needed to find it. Turns out the passport
was very expired. I don't know how he even thought
it worked.

Speaker 8 (12:46):
And I had been nagging him to send it in.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
It's gonna be fun.

Speaker 8 (12:50):
Fine, So he finally expedited it and everyone's like, yeah,
mine took two weeks too. Whatever, it's been six weeks.
My man has no passport and guess who's going to
Greece regardless, chick. So if any of you guys would
come with me, it might be that, because that's.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
Big an international trip within the first one three months.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
I don't know how he would be able to answer that.
I don't know how many months.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Maybe he knows. I'm sure he knows. A minute, he
may you he knows the second. I'm sure he's crocheted
that into some form of a pillow that he ends that.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Show is on, it's stay or go.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
So this person didn't want to be on the air
and didn't want us to use her name. So I
am going to read it to you. Okay, we got
this Stretshoot Radio on Instagram. I think in the DMS
maybe or maybe I got it I or Kalin got it,
I can't remember. But anyway, so there's a lot of
here I can't say. But here's the scenario. Eight five

(13:45):
five five three five. You guys are the this group
therapy here when everyone's feedback is welcome, but I know it.
This is the email. I know my partner for almost
nine years, married for five Recently, my partner and I
have been having a lot of issues. She has been
incredibly secretive. This is from a woman, by the way,
m m okay. I'm not sure if that matters, but anyway,

(14:07):
just for full context, right, She's been incredibly secretive, hiding
her phone, always leaving the room, rushing me to bed,
staying late at work, going out, and then lying about
where she is. All the signs point to her cheating.
I confronted her about it and accused her of cheating,
but she deny my accusations. She said she's been fake
cheating to get my attention. She basically deflected what I

(14:31):
was saying and made me feel like I deserve the treatment.
This last word I'm not going to read because it's
I think it kind of says too much but anyway,
basically it was, don't I think I know what's going on,
but don't use my name because you know. Yeah, so
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do that. But I've
never heard of this before. Fake cheating. Why would you

(14:52):
fake cheat? Like, I mean, I guess you want to
get someone's attention, but you don't want the moral weight
of actually committing the infidelity, because I figure, if you're
fake cheating, I mean, it's not as bad as real cheating,
but the repercussions are similar. I mean, you're making somebody
feel terrible.

Speaker 9 (15:10):
Yeah, I don't know anybody that's really done this, but
just you know, I've heard about people doing this.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
You've heard of people doing something? What have you heard, though,
I've heard.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
That sometimes to shake up the relationship, like she said,
get somebody's attention, you play these little stupid games to
try to get You've.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Heard you've heard this. What would be an example of
of what somebody let's just say, let's sake Veronica, Veronica, Yes,
your alter ego, Veronica.

Speaker 9 (15:43):
Let's just say Veronica was dating the guy and he
was not a good guy at the time, so to
shake it up, I would go pick him up, and I.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Mean you got to get your pronouns and your nouns
and you're all right, Yes, I do the same thing.
We're talking about Ted. Sometimes I mess up sometimes when
we're talking about Ted.

Speaker 9 (16:02):
But Veronica would go pick up the guy, her boyfriend, Yeah,
and she would purposely let her passenger seat all the
way back.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Then when he would come to the car, he would
be like, who was here? Wasn't here? And I was like,
I would.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
I mean she.

Speaker 9 (16:23):
Ranica would be like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (16:27):
You know, like and play dumb, knowing that I just
let that seat back before you got in here. Yes,
I don't know so that you have to be a
special kind of like you got to be a special
type of crazy.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I do probably think that I would. In fact, I
have thought that before. I've gotten a people's car before
and been like, well, I had to put it all
the way back. But then that being said, I mean
anybody would move their seat up, so because I put
the seat all the way back if I can from
a tall person. So I guess the only thing I've
thought before is if I left the seat in a
certain place and I wasn't where that anybody else was

(17:00):
in the car, then I'll be like, well, who move
the seed? But in my head, but I've never said
anything about it. Yeah, fake cheating.

Speaker 3 (17:08):
Though, Do we believe it's fake cheating? No, I think
it's real cheating because it would be a good like excuse. Oh,
I was just testing you, babe.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Fake cheating eight five one oh three five you can
call it. Text the same number, Paulina. Not that you
would know anything about, you know, playing games to get
a reaction or anything.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
That's my specialty.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
Yeah, yeah, I do that.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
I was, Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yeah, I was being facetious because everybody knows that you
you will take it to the What is again facetious? Yep,
that's what you're what I was being one facecious. That's
what I was being fasciated. I'm not even gonna try
and take it. I'm gonna cuss say something bad. But
you know, you've been known to take it to the floor.
I've been known how people go lower, you go lower.
You've been known to do that. You've been quoted as
saying that, yes, quoted. But but fake cheating though, would

(17:54):
we go to that length?

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Absolutely not, because my big thing with that is, And
I'm going to use this as the opposite example. Right, So,
if Hobby was fake cheating to get my attention, that's
only going to pull me away further.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
It's gonna make me trust him less.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
And I know that I play my little games and
I'll do the whole Like if he doesn't call me back,
I'll pretend like I hurt my ankle or something, so
he calls me back.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
He never done that. No, So you fake emergencies, yeah,
not cheating.

Speaker 9 (18:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
So you get in a fight with them, and then
you fake that you hurt yourself, yes, for sympathy.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Of course, what do you do.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
He comes home and you're like, oh, well.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
This is before he gets home.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
So I'll make sure that I call him so he
calls me back, because you know, we hang up whatever
he's mad. I know he's mad, and I'll be like
call me right now, like I just hurt my hand,
or like you'll call me right now.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
I just drop something on my phone.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
So you're hoping that he then feels bad about the
fact that you're in pain and then lets you off
the hook for whatever fight you started.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Correct, And the response I get is negative. That's Smar
sproutins that I get because he knows that I'm full
of it.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Oh, he say, he's on to you now like he knows. Like, no,
you didn't. You're just trying not to be accountable for
the fight.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Okay, it was nonsense.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
I see you fake hurt yourself. Okay, you know what
I'm up to.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
I mean, we all do.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
But again, well, yeah, you've told many stories about it.
I just don't don't. I don't know about why fake cheating.
You may as well just cheat. I mean, because it
looks the same like's. It makes someone feel bad, it
makes them not trust you, it has the appearance of cheating.
So all the bad things about cheating, except I suppose

(19:22):
you can live with yourself because you're not really doing it.
But at the same time, you know that you're playing somebody,
so you're you're lying, so you're being dishonest. Either way,
you may as well just get it in, you know,
I mean, honestly fake cheating. That's dumb. Okay, Because here's
the other thing. If I can't disprove or I guess
in this case, if I can't prove that I'm fake cheating,
then I'm cheating. As far as the other person's concerned,

(19:44):
so I may as well get some you know what
I'm saying, because I'm fake cheating, but no one's gonna
believe that. So then when I'm like, girl, I was
just fake cheating, Like, no, you that's bs. I've never
heard this, Stephanie, We've never heard of this before. Fake cheating. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
I think that they're probably actually cheating, and I think
it's gas flighting at its finance.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
This sounds like a cast of the gas lighting.

Speaker 6 (20:11):
Yeah, definitely, for sure.

Speaker 10 (20:12):
I was married to a gas lighter for twenty two
years and I'm.

Speaker 8 (20:15):
Finally free of that, and it screams gas flighting to me.

Speaker 6 (20:20):
So they're definitely cheating.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
And you want to do step to somebody that.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
You love on purpose anyway without having something behind it?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Is he not the best feeling, Stephanie, by the way,
to realize to come out of the cloud and realize
that you, in fact, were not the crazy one, like
to realize when you can actually step away from the
damage that these people do, the gas lighters and the
narcissists or whatever else. I'm being dead ass sincere here,
and when you finally get out of the fog, and
for you, it lasted twenty two years, so I can't
imagine how long it took or the process. But then

(20:49):
when you're like, wait a minute, everything I thought made
perfect sense and this person truly tried to make me
feel like I was crazy.

Speaker 8 (20:57):
Amen, And you know what, on the twenty seventh, will
one here And I am so happy with the man
that I'm with now that I literally have.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Good for you.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
That makes me very very I'm being I'm being completely
so serio and I'm very very happy for you. Because
it's a bad thing, fake cheating. I don't get to
have a good day. Thanks for listening and for texting. No, no, no,
this is real cheating.

Speaker 8 (21:22):
I mean, I guess she could be trying to get
her attention, but that's certainly not a healthy way to
do so.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
It's also very it's a it's a really mean game.
It's an incredibly cruel game. If you're not cheating to
make someone think that you're cheating on him in the
context of a relationship. Is there anything more defiling than
feeling like you're being cheated or then realizing that you've
been cheated on and then lied to on top of that?
Is there?

Speaker 9 (21:45):
But what about the other side, What about what what
does she do that may her partner get to that
point where she was so desperate for her love and
affection and attention that she decided to fake this life
of cheating.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Are you ever the mindset, Kiki, that it's someone the
treatment that they're receiving from someone else is their fault.
I mean, I maybe, like I think I think that
people if you treat them poorly and they react poorly,
then I think they're what. You can't then gaslight and
go why you are you so mean to me? It's like, well,
I mean to you because that's a natural human reaction

(22:20):
to you treating me poorly. So like for for this
woman to complain to her partner about her fake cheating,
it's like, no, you don't get to you know what
you're doing. You're trying to elicit a response out of
this person. That response is going to be negative, or
it's going to be insecurity or whatever else. You don't
then get to call the person. You don't then get
to say this relationship is dysfunctional and I find you insecure.

(22:42):
You're making me feel insecure. Right, I can own the feelings,
but I can also own the fact that you shouldn't
be doing this to.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Me and she but she owned up to it.

Speaker 9 (22:49):
She said, I've been fake cheating because I want your attention.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
I'm trying to wake you up.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, but that's I don't I guess that's what I'm
saying is I'm not sure that the wrongs justify when
or or cancel each other out?

Speaker 3 (23:01):
Like is that how you do it now? Is not
the right way? But you know, no, you know, I
don't say lever for this.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Wow. I mean I think I think you got to
really search your soul here and try and figure out
what you think it might really be going on. But
does it really matter? Is my point? Like cheating not
cheating if you feel that, if you feel that betrayal,
if your relationships at a point where this these sort
of games are being played, does it really matter?

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Sure? Is it wrong to trying to make your partner
a little jealous?

Speaker 6 (23:27):
Right?

Speaker 3 (23:27):
Go to the gas station together? Oh yeah, hit on?
If you want to get hit on as a woman,
go thank you. Yeah, I'm gonna ignore you and just
have a big head anyway. It's fine.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
I've actually seen that. I have seen that more times
than not. We're douchebag guys can't call a woman and
then when she doesn't react favorably, he's like, well you
ugly anyway at me before, Like I've seen it myself
where it's like okay, I mean like it just the
stuff that people will say, and then you know women

(24:00):
don't react for obvious reasons and it's like, oh, I
wouldn't do it anyway, you you idiot. Hey Jordan, Hey,
hey man, good morning. Just to recap here, this person
wrote us then with somebody for nine years and it's
felt very insecure in her relationship. And when she asked
her partner, it's a lesbian couple. When she asked her

(24:21):
partner if she was cheating, she said, I'm fake cheating
to get your attention. What do you think?

Speaker 10 (24:28):
I think you need to go because that's like this
we're too old for Childer's games. But I get that
you're trying to get your partner's attention and everything, but
it's other ways to do it. It's like other ways
to sit down and actually talk to him about it
and be like, hey, I feel like you're not giving
me an attention.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Like what's up?

Speaker 10 (24:44):
Like what can like explain to what you need? Like
you and when you're in a relationship, you have to
explain your needs and want to somebody and if you
can't do that, then that may not be the person
for you. So if you want to play Childe's games
and tell me and go fake cheat and getting me
all out of my character to make me feel like
you're cheating and giving me anxiety, heart racing, and I'm

(25:07):
out here just like losing my mind. But at the
same time you're telling me you're fake cheating.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
I think that was a bunch of bs. Yeah, I
mean again, I'm not sure if it matters. But Jordan,
thank you. Have a good day, And you're right, we
don't know the other side of the story here. We
don't know, but I don't Again, I'm not sure that
that justifies the reaction. Yeah, it's not right, like it
maybe this woman who wrote us did something really bad
that and this is where we're at, you know, is

(25:34):
it the payback or the get back? Is this this ploy?
Either way, it's someone just texted one hundred percent of
form of abuse. So maybe she's an abuser. This girl's
an abuser. Maybe they shouldn't be together. So I don't
know that it matters what the other side of the
story is this is toxic and dysfunctional. Yeah, and again
I'm not saying that this girl's innocent or that girl's
innocent or whatever, but regardless, they're both playing Let's assume

(25:57):
they're both playing nasty games at at worst, right, So peace, man,
it's over. So I got it. It's got to be done.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Hey Maritza, Hi, good morning.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Hey, how you doing fake cheating?

Speaker 3 (26:10):
Fake cheat?

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Why what fake cheating? Why are we doing that?

Speaker 6 (26:14):
So I can just stop playing my games with her partner?
To me, it sounds like a BF excuse. She probably
is cheating and she just says an excuse. But if
there's something that's bothering both of them, they need to
sit down and talk about it like adults and stop
playing these games because this is just going to push
your partner. It's just going to keep pushing her partner

(26:34):
away from her. And yeah, they just told me to
sit down and talk about their issues and what's bothering them,
because fake cheating is not going to solve anything.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
No, I agree, I agree. Thank you. Have a good day.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Christine. Hi Christine, good morning, Welcome to the Fred Show.
How are you good?

Speaker 3 (26:51):
How are you good morning, Harry.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Well, stare go this fake cheating lady. The woman is
staying her partner, she's fake cheating.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
You'd stay, Yeah, No, I would say go to go
okay bye? Yeah, because it's.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
Point blank she's going to the extreme. Any want to
say I'm big cheating, So it's point blank yeah, yeah,
I think so too. Thank you, Christine, have a good day,
Thank you too. Yeah. Automatically divorced, real cheating manipulation. When
people were saying, justin Chloe, I'm going through all these
its abuse. What's the incentive to stay if you're just

(27:26):
making up scenarios to force a response? Yeah, I don't know.
It's like clear communication or not or whatever. And then
we're done with this man. You need to talk to
your friend Veronica.

Speaker 9 (27:36):
Well she doesn't do that anymore, but it's got quite
the response.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Once she did it.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
You need to straighten her.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Out or yeah, or or cheap for real.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
That's what I'm sing. You may as well, because if
it looks like it, it smells like it, you may as well.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
A fread show is on Fred's Fun Fact.

Speaker 9 (27:55):
Fred Fun.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Learn so much guys, did you know?

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Did you know that a banana is a berry, but
a strawberry is not a berry. Did you know this?
A banana is a berry, but a strawberry is not.
So a banana is a berry because it has a soft,
fleshy outer layer that encloses the seeds. Strawberries, on the

(28:27):
other hand, have an outer layer that is not fleshy
and doesn't enclose the seeds. Therefore, strawberries are not considered berries.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
I would like to speak to a manager.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Yeah, well, I googled it too, just to be sure
that my fun fact was correct.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Wow, but fleshy, I'm not fleshy.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Yeah. The other thing is that I guess bananas have seeds.
Of course they do, but I don't know they're in
the middle twenty to thirty seeds per banana, but then again,
twenty to thirty seeds per banana. It looks like I'm
playing a very small violin or something. But I don't know.
They must be like soft, because I've never eating a
banana and been like, ah, those damn seeds. No, So anyway,

(29:04):
there you go. That's your fun fact. The banana's a berry,
but a strawberry.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Kiki is not more f Yeah, they talk better than
the excite. These are the radio blogs on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
I like running in our diaries, except we say them
a loud We call them blogs.

Speaker 9 (29:19):
Kinky yes, dear blog. Why are kids just so funny?

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (29:25):
Because you know I have a thousand fhews and for
some reason, most of them are born in July. So
we've been celebrating birthdays. Yes, like I've been hiding out,
trying to avoid all contact with the family. I feel
like I'm so busy at work because I have to
get my money right.

Speaker 1 (29:40):
That's how June is for me. Yeah, you got like,
what do you got Father's Day in there? I think?
And then both my mom and my sister's birthday. It's
like I'm broke.

Speaker 9 (29:47):
It's got crazy, Like y'all need to start, you know,
doing that a little differently, you know, I spread it
out a little bit.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Why is everybody getting on in the same mother such
all these kids are one of the same time.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
What a y'all doing it together?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Yes? The hell's going on?

Speaker 9 (30:03):
But happy birthday to Jackson, Kamari, and Dylan. They all
celebrate a birthday in July. But recently Kamari celebrated his
birthday and he turned nine years old. And this is
a kid who makes the family take trips for his birthday,
so it's always a vacation. This year, I got out
of it. They let me know a little late in
the game, so I wasn't able to go. But yeah,
he took his family on a trip and while they

(30:25):
were gone, his grandmother sent him a beautiful birthday text
the morning of his birthday and she's like, hey, grandson,
you know, happy birthday.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
I love you so much.

Speaker 9 (30:35):
I hope you have a great time on your trip.
And he simply responded to his grandmother, Okay, yes, that's.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Almost as bad as giving her like a thumbs up,
you know, you just thumb up the the text as
opposed to say anything, it's okay, okay.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
His mom she sent me the.

Speaker 9 (30:56):
Screenshot and I'm crying tears laughing at this because I
can't believe because if you know Kamara, he's a very
malmanner child, but he's a very smart, very intelligent.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
So his dad's like, oh, it was a mistake. I'm like, no,
Kamari knew exactly okay, yeah, okay, simply okay.

Speaker 9 (31:18):
And so I was just like, wow, kids will really
humble you, okay. And then my next issue is with
my older nephew who is fifteen, and now he's in
this whole vibe of I don't understand when we take
family photos, why you have to do something dumb in
the photo, like, wh why can't you just smile like
everybody else? Now, these these they do this thing in

(31:40):
the photo where they either hide their face. Okay, so
they'll put their hand over their face right when the
camera clicks. They won't make eye contact with the with
the camera, and they don't smile.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
What is the reason? Because in my mind, you know, God.

Speaker 9 (31:55):
For being years down the line, when your grandkids are
playing your funeral and they putting together the little slash,
all your photos are gonna look at you looking dumb,
making some non expression, not smiling, and I just don't understand.

Speaker 3 (32:08):
What is the reason for that?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I mean, whether it's the facial expression or the haircut
or the clothes. I look back on almost everything I
did in the past and wonder why the hell had happened? Yeah, yeah,
especially though, like did anyone love me when I was younger?
Like to put I mean some of the stuff I
wore and some of the I don't know, I just
I don't. Yeah, And now you're doing it now? Are

(32:32):
you telling me people do it on purpose?

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Now?

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Like kids are doing it on purpose and screwing up
the pictures on purpose.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
I went on noise, Why okay, so what is the reason?
Because I don't like taking photos?

Speaker 8 (32:42):
But now I do regret it because there's a ton
of cute photos that I ruined.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
For the family. Yeah, yeah for everything?

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Were you being rebellious? Like? Was it like?

Speaker 3 (32:49):
I hate taking photo?

Speaker 8 (32:51):
Even now I start to do with my friends because
we'll take group photos. Okay, fine, I appreciate it later,
but every time somebody doesn't like it, we gotta read it.
And we're taking photos for fifteen minutes and not enjoying music.
So I start doing that because I'm over it.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Oh my god.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
Well maybe that's it, but it just bothers me. I
look back at our photos from the last vacations and
it's like, does he want to be here?

Speaker 3 (33:12):
Does he hate the whole family? I don't understand. Please
smile at your photos, children.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, most of our family photos disappear because my sister
doesn't like the way she looks at them. They they
just disappear. And the other thing is the other PSA
is part of This is always take your own pictures
and post your own because everybody's only going to post
a picture they look the best, and they don't give
a damn how you look at any of them. Only
when people look at group photos to post on their
social media, the only person they're looking at is themselves.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
That's me.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
That's the only thing they want to know, do I
look good in this? I mean you could literally be
have like a bloody nose, your arm is falling off.
She wouldn't even know, and someone just shaved like right
down the middle of your head and it would be like,
I don't know, I look great into Which is why
you got to take control.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
You do.

Speaker 1 (33:55):
You got to take control. The entertainment re fort is
