Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fred Show.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is what's trending, all.

Speaker 3 (00:02):
Right, jod Diddy is trending, and I'm sure Calein has
more on that in just a moment. In the course
historic rainfall North Carolina has flooded home, stranded vehicles, and
forced water rescues, probably the worst flooding than any of
us have ever seen in Carolina Beach. According to the
town manager, there eighteen inches of rain fell there in

(00:23):
twelve hours at one station. It's a once in a
thousand year rainfall event. According to the National Weather Service
in Wilmington. A recent survey has founded Miami, Florida, is
the rudest city in America, worse than New York. I
think everyone thinks New York is probably the rudest city,

(00:43):
but no. The study conducted by some sort of language
learning platform. I'm not sure why they get to decide,
but they found that locals in the Magic City rank
their fellow residents a nine point eighty eight out of
ten for being the rudest people in America. This is
based on a variety of factors, including lack of awareness

(01:03):
in public noisiness and shared places, and rudeness to service staff.
Coming in second and third were Philadelphia and Tampa. Man
they route in Florida, the ladder of which was named
the Rudest city in twenty twenty two. Tampa was I
had no idea and this story is a very slow
news day today, guys, I have to tell you. But

(01:24):
police in Bedford, Ohio, said an eight year old girl
stole her parents' suv and drove ten miles to go
shopping at Target.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Hell yeah, girl.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Her worried parents reported her missing from their home at
about seven am, and they said that the twenty twenty
niece on Roague that they owned was gone too. A
neighbor told police that their home security camera caught the
girl getting inside the suv with nobody but herself and
driving off cops and received reports of a small child
behind the wheel of an suv miles away. Eventually, the
police in a nearby town located the runaway vehicle in

(01:54):
the parking lot of a local Target about ten miles away,
twenty five minutes away, driving from the girls sow where
they find her inside shopping.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
That's what she was doing. Why what else would you do?
You go to Target? I go shopp him police, She
should have done the pickup.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Well police called her parents, but she know what she wanted,
you know, she wanted to browse, maybe get herself a
little coffee.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You don't walk around.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Police called her parents, but said that she would not
be charged with a crime due to her age. They
did have a confession to make. She smashed into a
mailbox somewhere along the way, leaving a tent in her
parents vehicle. Nobody was injured though, so she was okay,
eight years old driving around eight years old, driving ten
miles like on a major road. Wow, that sounds like

(02:37):
something Rufio was doing at eight years old. It's something
Action is going to do when he's eight years old.
I mean, what was it When did you start stealing
your parents' car?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I was under age. I didn't have a license for sure. Yeah. Yeah,
and you just cruise around.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
And they never knew you did it. No, they never
knew you did it. No, not that I no, my
stepdad knew, because you were the one telling me that.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
You used to like put the car in neutral and
then push it out of the garage so.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
I would pull the you know the little red handle
in the garage, right, you pull it so you could
open the garage yourself quietly, and then I would put
the car in neutral and push it down the driveway
and push it down the block and then start it
and then and then leave.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Smart. Wow skills.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
How did you guys scam your parents?

Speaker 6 (03:28):
Wait?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Eight five five five three five. You can call him
text the same number. I'm looking at you.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Pull space? Is a safe still a safe space? Are
you talking about the statue limitations?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Is?

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh my dad knows now if he's listening.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Yeah, I thirty. It all happened, you know, twenty years ago.
It's fine, that's true.

Speaker 7 (03:43):
Yes, I would do my mom's car because I was
the only one that like really had access to a car.

Speaker 8 (03:46):
I guess.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
But my mom's car would go to house parties. I'd
pick everybody up. My best friend Claudia would jump out
the window. I had to catch her because her house
was like a branch kind of stile, So I shed
hop out the window.

Speaker 4 (03:56):
I'd grab her. We would go and return the car.
I would.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
What I would do is I go through all the basement.
But I would have the dryer and the washer running
at in the morning. So that's believable. But my mom
didn't buntion it. But I would sleep down there. But
you know I'm going to sleep down here. Why because
the TV was there, so I'm watching TV. We'd go
out that door, come right back in about.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Like five am.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
And you don't think she knew, or you think she
knew and just was like whatever, she didn't get in trouble, so.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Finn, Yeah, she caught me one time.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
And I think I told this because my sister I
took her chips or whatever, and she got really upset
with me.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
So then she snitched on me pretty much and it
didn't cover for me.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
She took her potato chips.

Speaker 7 (04:27):
Yeah, it was Funnians and she had a sleepover and
I took her funny and so they didn't have any
fun ye I know right.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I'm'm worth it looking feet yeah, Grandpaffee yeah yeah, sorry,
old man fee.

Speaker 7 (04:37):
So I was like I got caught that night. But
my stepdad had this. We called it like a it
was a beer, right, we called it something else. But
I can't sit on the radio because it's the S word.
But basically I would take that car. When I was younger,
it's like fifteen, I'd go to my friend Nikki's house.
She lived well like maybe five minutes down the road.
I would go there. We would engage in activities, not
like the two of us, but just like yeah, yeah,

(05:01):
the double or.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
That I did.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
I have a lot of questions for her.

Speaker 7 (05:12):
Nikki had like the house that was like the cool parents,
like they did not care what.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Went down, Like yeah, I remember those parents.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Yeah, like but this was like time's time.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
In my opinion now looking back at it, I was like,
but we would just smoke and hang out whatever.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Then my stepdad caught me doing that with his beater
he car.

Speaker 7 (05:27):
So like, you know, that was my little scam in
my cigarette sale, I did that too.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
I would sell those.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I remember the parents. It wasn't really that they didn't care.
There were some of those, but a lot of them
just weren't there. They were just never home. And so
it was like did anything goes And like I went
to school with some rich kids and like so some
of these houses were stupid, sick, like just amazing, and
I just I guess because I grew up with it,
I didn't think too much of it. But now in retrospect,

(05:53):
there's no freaking way I would let my kids just
run them up in my really, you know, fancy house.
There's just no way. No, there's no it, which is
I couldn't believe, and like thinking back on it, I
just can't. Maybe it was just a different time. I mean,
it wasn't that long ago.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
But no, I would never. I want to be a
cool mom, but not that cool.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
Honestly, I think I would do it now because I
got cameras everywhere I could.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
There's no way in hell I could do it now,
like sneaking out or any of that.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh yeah, it's a lot of stuff has been waiting
for the kids.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
Yeah, it's like Mexican security at my house, everything, all
the alarms, and I grew up with that, so like today,
my daughter could.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Not light three sixty you know when they leave come home.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, it's it's not going to happen for them. I'm sorry.
Text from seven o eight.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
We had a fire escape window in the basement, the
window wells, and we would wait till our parents went
to bed and then pull out the fire escape windows
and sneak out of the house. Smart Jason, you were
the rule follower. Did you ever do anything like this?

Speaker 9 (06:48):
No, like, not not until college, which sounds really cool.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
You lived at home in college. No, so that's actually
the thing.

Speaker 9 (06:55):
So I went to Loyola, but I hated my roommate,
but I didn't want to tell my parents that I
didn't want to stay there anymore. So I went and
lived in a girl's dorm of another college for a
semester until I could go home, and my parents didn't
know where I was.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
But that was that. So you weren't really doing anything wrong.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
No, I never took the car.

Speaker 9 (07:14):
I didn't do any of that stuff like in high school.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
No, I know you did, Kalin Kiki. Okay, Now, who
were you scamming in high school? Would have been your
sister at this point? Yes, okay? And were you scamming her?

Speaker 10 (07:26):
No, because my brother did a lot of scamming to
the point where, like his crimes were so intricate that
I was able to get away with everything because she
was busy, Like she was busy attending to all of
his shenanigans, and so he was more of the big,
big scammer and I was just like, I mean, I
had all the This is a thing I think parents
should take he too. When you give your kids a

(07:46):
lot of freedom, the desire to want to commit crimes
is less in my experience, like I could have gotten away,
I could have done a lot of things, but because
I knew that I could do it, I had no
desire to do it. I was like, why do I
need to sneak a boy? And like if I want
to have a boy, it was just so ea, Like
I don't know. I just never had the desire to
really do crime. And one time he tried to bring

(08:06):
me in on his crime. He stole the car and
we started driving and I saw a car that looked
similar to my sister's car, and I was like, that's her.
Oh my god, they're on to us. And so I
got out at the light and left him in the
car and he was like that. He's like, you can
never commit a crime with me, So you were a liability, yeah,

(08:27):
to his crime. So I didn't I didn't have the
desire really to do much.

Speaker 3 (08:31):
I never did anything. I never did anything like my
parents always thought I was up to something. I was
never up to anything. But I do agree with you
about I didn't have a necessarily lot of freedom, but
my parents would let us for me and I guess
my sister too. We want vacation, They let us have
like a drink or something or alcohol, and maybe they
let us go a little too far sometimes. And I

(08:53):
know that's controversial, I guess, But the thing is, I
went to college, and I'd show up day one and
everyone's going balls to the wall because no one had
been allowed to do any of this stuff. I mean,
a lot of the kids, like literally the first time
they were just on their own completely didn't have to
check in with anybody, was their first day in college.
And I've told the story before, but like within a
day or two, there were parents coming back picking up

(09:14):
their kids and moving them back because they were already
you know, passed down in the hallway or or in
the hospital for alcohol, you know, intoxication, you know, drinking
too much or whatever else. And I don't necessarily say
that it's because they didn't let them do it, but
I don't know. I just wasn't. There was no temptation
to go buck wild because I knew. I already knew, right,

(09:34):
that's yeah. So I thought that was smart. But a
lot of people listening to that and going, no way,
I'd never let my kid drink, you know, I'd never lived.
I mean, it was like they were letting the other
kids come over and get hammered too, or like enabling.
It was just more like, hey, all right, you want
you want to have a drink, have a drink, fine,
but you're not going anywhere, and you're doing it in
front of us.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
And I don't know.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I got to college, yeah okay, it was everywhere and
I'm like, oh, okay, yeah. I mean there was a
lot of other stuff too that they didn't let me do, right,
I had no interest in that. Plus I didn't have
any money. That was another way that my parents were
able to curtail my illicit activities. I didn't have any money,
so I couldn't buy any of it, and nobody was
willing to share. So all right, well we got a

(10:13):
bunch of cameras in our midst and not surprisingly, Jason
really didn't do anything wrong.

Speaker 9 (10:18):
God, I agree, though, I mean my parents were very
much just like go yeah, you know, but like I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Maybe that's why I didn't want to do anything. I
don't know.

Speaker 10 (10:28):
And my friends who had really strict parents, like you know,
they had to sneak and do everything, so they wanted
to do everything like they were just wild, And I'm like,
you have a crazy mother. And you are really out
here Wiley and me, I'm like, I just don't have
to desire.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I don't know. It was me too, rule follower, Jason.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
But that's what's interesting to me is you're telling me
now that your parents weren't that strict, but you still
felt the need to follow the rules because a lot
of people I know who were rule followers, it's because
they had to.

Speaker 9 (10:57):
Yeah, it's almost like whatever they did, I think it
was more like they didn't like lead by like aggression.
It was more like I don't want to disappoint them exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
It was like guilt. That was That was my parents too.

Speaker 9 (11:10):
Yeah, so it wasn't like, oh my god, I'm gonna
get grounded, like I was never ground.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
Dead like my sister. On the other hand, she was
always scheming. But they were tired. This was eight years later.
They were tired. They were like whatever. I just couldn't
believe it. I was because I'm a grown ass man.
Now she's in high school. I come back and like,
you love to wait she's doing what. I'm sorry what
She's like, got a bong and two dudes. You know,
I'm like, you guys totally.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Gave up show is on. It's stay or go. Mike
is here. Good morning, Mike. How you doing. Welcome?

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Hey guys, I'm doing all right. I'm I'm just not sure.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
What the oh look at this guy. He sounds truly distrawed. Well,
this is what we're here for. We're here to comment
on your life. What's going on Mike with you? This
is your wife situations when your wife?

Speaker 8 (12:03):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so what's so?

Speaker 11 (12:06):
Yeah, I work in construction and she works from home
in a corporate job. So when we moved in together,
we agreed she would handle like the laundry, the cooking
and some other little things around the house. So she's
home all day and I go to work and construction
heavy labor. But for a while now she's been slipping,

(12:29):
like she agreed to do these things and.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
She's not doing anymore.

Speaker 11 (12:32):
And when we talk about it, she reminds me like, hey,
we both work. Just because I work from home doesn't
mean you know, I have all this time to do
this stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
And I'm like, you're at home typing.

Speaker 6 (12:46):
And you know.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
It goes like that, It goes like that, Yeah right, No,
no's so she's at home not necessarily exist herself the
way that you are in your opinion.

Speaker 11 (13:04):
Exactly, I mean between calls she because it's like throwing
a laundry or cook some food.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
That's all she's going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yeah, Mike, I don't know. You may not have a
whole crowd. He er like, okay, but but now, in fairness,
I'm trying, Mike. You guys agreed to this though, or
did you? Did you have a conversation about this? Did
you guys do? And and like a division of labor
that you discussed.

Speaker 11 (13:34):
We did agree upon this and she did it for
a little while, but lately she has been slipping.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
And I can't get it across to her.

Speaker 11 (13:43):
We always have arguments. And look, I make way more
money than she does. I pay like all the bills.

Speaker 10 (13:51):
You should hire a housekeeper or you know, you should
hire some help, so she makes so much money. Exactly,
I'm ready for Mike. I'm sorry, very little sympathy for you. Bruh,
I really do.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Okay, but and again I'm scared, but you you guys,
I want to be clear about this.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
You sat down. This isn't just your expectation.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
This isn't just I'm the man, and when I come
home from my construction job with my dirty hands. You know,
I need a meal on the table and my laundry
done or whatever. Like you guys sat down and said, Okay, look,
I'm going to do this and you're going to do that.
What do you do aside from your job? Do you
do anything to help around the house or did you
just determine that she was going to do all of that.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean, I need time to decompressed when I get home.
It's long days. I work ten twelve hour days.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
So you decided you're not going to do any of that.
I mean, I make the good bills, Sue.

Speaker 12 (14:49):
Oh oh oh No, I mean I am going to
say construction is a very difficult job.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
I'm just adding that in there. I'm not saying I'm
not saying anything else in the agreement that they had.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
I guess I love it.

Speaker 11 (15:04):
I appreciate my wife, and we talked about this before
and she did it for a while, But now she's slipping.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
I mean, maybe she doesn't want to feel like she's
your maid. Maybe maybe that's what's going on. Maybe she
agreed to it, but maybe it's time to reassess a
little bit. Maybe you guys sit down and talk a
little bit more about it and say, hey, look, this
stuff's not getting done. We talked about you doing it.
It doesn't seem like you want to do it anymore.
Like maybe have the demand of your job. Has it changed?

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I mean, you know, how do we do this when
I communicate.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
What we are communicating and I'm fussing.

Speaker 11 (15:42):
I'm extremely frustrated because it's just arguing back and forth.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
She doesn't want to do her anymore.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
You don't have kids, right, Mike, you don't have kids, right.

Speaker 7 (15:56):
Okay, that's a good thing in the situation, because I
feel like the day that happens, she's into the what
your wife or your girlfriend that it's gonna be expected
to do all of this. I'm telling you right now,
she'd be expected to work. She'll be expected to do
like laundry, feed the kids, all these things, getting ready
for bed, bath time. Like you're not really giving equal
partner right now. And I know construction is difficult. You
work outside, she's inside, but you both are still working.

(16:16):
She wants to decompressed too, after she's done.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Typing exactly, But like she and she's not just sitting
on her butt doing nothing. You're saying she has a
corporate job. She has a job.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Correct, yes she does. It's a corporate job.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Okay, So, but what I mean is just because she
works from home doesn't mean she's not working. It doesn't
mean that. Yes, I suppose she could put laundry in,
you know, in between calls or whatever. I guess she
could do that, But I mean she also has she
going to.

Speaker 10 (16:42):
Lose her no physical labor, she's doing mental labor. That's
even that's even worse. Sometimes like I would love to
go hold the sign sometimes it little stop.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Sign, rather than have to end no crossing.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
People.

Speaker 10 (17:01):
That would be anything some days other than working from home.
Let me tell you something.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
I was one of these.

Speaker 10 (17:05):
My God was like you before I worked from home.
I thought work working from home was the biggest luxury.
You don't know that hell, and so you are in
it when your house is your job, and your job
is your house and there is no escape.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
So if she's at home, are they working.

Speaker 10 (17:19):
Imagine closing her laptop and stopping typing to only come
home to now work for you as well, it's too
much and if you make so much money, sir, I
would highly suggest you hiring some help for your wife.

Speaker 4 (17:30):
So that you guys, can have a healthy balance in
your relationship.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
This is what about this? What about this? What if
you like?

Speaker 3 (17:36):
What if she just quits your job and that becomes
her job is to manage the house. I'm not that
I think she would be fulfilled by that, because that's
doesne selling. Maybe she would be. It sounds like she
wouldn't like that, But is that an option if it's like, Look,
I can't manage all of this because I still do
have an obligation to my job if I expect to
keep it, because they expect me to work and not
do and not iron your shirts. So my question to

(17:57):
you is, what if she comes to you and says
or what have you go to her and they quit
your job. I make enough money for both of us,
but I do expect that you're going to clean a
house and make food.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
That's that's an option, because I really think she hates
her job.

Speaker 12 (18:12):
I mean, one is physically taxing, one is mentally taxing.
But they're both taxing and they should both be looked
at equally.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yes, let me take some phone calls.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
Mike. I don't think this is going to go well
for you, but I wish you the best said, thank
you for calling you, for listening.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, eight three five, you can call him texta the
same number. I mean she Yeah.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
If in fact they sat down and discussed this and
and that's her part of it, Hey, I'm gonna I
agree to do this and that and then it's not happening,
then it's probably worthy of a conversation. But they're married.
He loves her, he should want her to be happy
and fulfilled. Maybe she's not fulfilled doing his laundry and
wiping his butt, and so they need to sort of reassess,

(18:56):
and he needs to communicate that as opposed to just
expecting it, because he didn't seem he didn't say no,
but he didn't seem all that into the idea of
for not working. Because again I think homemaking quote unquote
or managing a house is a job in itself.

Speaker 12 (19:13):
Right, or like maybe the over the weekend, if he's so,
you know, burnt out, then he can do all the
housework or I don't know, they need to work something
out because he can't put.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
It on Tammy. How you doing, Tammy?

Speaker 6 (19:24):
Hey, y'all.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
My girl, Hey friends? Hey, he got Mike got me upset.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 13 (19:32):
Yet twist Listen.

Speaker 11 (19:34):
I'm work from home.

Speaker 10 (19:35):
I'm in it.

Speaker 13 (19:36):
Okay, some days I can't even shower, that's how awesome.

Speaker 6 (19:40):
So me, this job is and if you got kids.

Speaker 11 (19:44):
Is over with.

Speaker 6 (19:45):
I have opened so many kids of rabol.

Speaker 10 (19:47):
Y'all have.

Speaker 6 (19:51):
I to chill out.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
My needs to chill and grow up.

Speaker 10 (19:56):
And it's not your goal.

Speaker 11 (19:58):
For Mike it stay or go for homebirus.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
She needs to get out of it.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I agree with that. I agree with them.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
I think everybody, everybody just assumes that staying at home
is the better of the two options.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
But we've talked about this before.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
I have friends who who they're out working all day
and they're in this case, their wife is at home,
you know, taking the kids to school, making lunches, cleaning
the house, doing all the errands and whatever, and then
dude comes home.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
In this case, I mean, you can be reverse.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Of course, dude comes home and then he wants to
like kick back, and his wife is like, no, you
got kids, you got stuff to do. And he's like,
but I've been out all day, and she's like, what
I wouldn't give to be out all day?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (20:36):
So I think everyone thinks that it's greener on the
other side, But yet you've got to compromise, because yes,
it's hard work doing twelve hours of construction, but it's
also you know, she has a job, and she's doing
Washington his underwear too, and I guess not well enough.
So yeah, and this dude doesn't seem like he's maybe

(20:57):
the best communicator either, So.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
There's that get out of there, get you can't.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
This reminds me that Dave Chappelle's get when he's with
Wayne Brady and the hose come up? How you doing, Aaron?

Speaker 6 (21:28):
Oh yeah, hid, how you doing?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Good morning, Welcome, what do you want to say?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
Good morning?

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Yes, I would say, I know, you know, last caller
was kind of mad at Mike, but uh, he definitely
the communication needs to be open, kind of what everyone
is saying, and just hear everyone's side. It's like you said,
the workload may be increased on her end, and he
doesn't have a clear understanding. He just keeps saying she's slipping,
but why is that? Another thing is too I would

(21:56):
recommend anyone hiring help if you can afford, since he's
making good money. But it definitely takes a lot of
the like his expectations of her doing all this. If
you have a you know, a cleaning lady or you're
getting your grass cut, it just kind of takes that
expectation off of that person.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
I agree it for them doing it.

Speaker 6 (22:18):
And even if things aren't getting done to his like standard,
if you're having a cleaning lady, it's like it's it's
off that personal like, you know, you have that personal
connection to them, that cleaning lady. If you have to
tell her, hey, something I've done, right, you know you're
paying her, so it's.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Easier to do that. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Thank you, Eron,
have a good day. Thanks glad you called.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
That's another thing too, is like who knows, maybe they
had the conversation and again I'm trying to see the
other side here.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
It's very hard.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
We try and be balanced, you know, but maybe they
had a conversation where he was like, well, let's hire
He doesn't sell like this kind of guy, but it's like, hey,
let's hire someone, and she's like, no, let's save the money.
And if she said that and then stuff's not getting done,
then I think he could go back and say, look,
we offered to hire.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
I offered to pay for somebody.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
We talked about this, and you said you didn't want
to spend the money because you're going to do it, Well,
then you have to do it. But again, I doesn't
I think he would have mentioned that if that weren't
the case, because I could see that where it's like, look,
you don't have to do this, we can get someone
to do it, but maybe you don't want that person
in your space. Maybe you don't want to pay that
we don't want to spend the money. You want to
spend the money on something else. That's fine, But then
if you're saying you're going to do it, then we

(23:25):
got to get it. It has to get done.

Speaker 12 (23:27):
Yeah, I mean this goes back to my whole like
we can never say must be nice thing because until
you've worked someone's job, you really just don't know. I
mean people think and we have, you know, relatively easy jobs,
but people think we just talked, talk talk.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
And have the best time and leave. But the hours
are hard.

Speaker 12 (23:41):
You know, it does take a lot out of you
to be on you know, especially if you're going through
like you know, a death in the family or something.
So everybody's job is hard in its own ways, and
it's very dangerous to argue about that.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
Absolutely, y'all.

Speaker 10 (23:55):
Yeah, no, I know, chahse they wake up, they're done
talking about tea and they got the rest of their day.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Oh, how I apologize, thank you. Keep I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
I've been waiting for that apology with some chuch because
you used to say to me all the time in
the hallway.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
You're out of here. Thank you for that apology. Been
waiting for that.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Hey, Tiffany, good morning, Tiffany, good morning. What do you
want to advise if you're just tuning in, by the way,
stare go This dude. He's upset because his wife he's
a construction worker, he's out, you know, doing that.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
And he says he makes a lot of money. His
wife works from home.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
He says that his wife agreed to do a lot
of the household chores and do her at home job,
corporate job. And and he says he's not getting donep
she's slipping that the home, you know, the work of
the housework is not getting done, and he's not happy
about it. They did have a conversation. He says that
she did agree to it. What is he supposed to do.

Speaker 6 (25:02):
Well.

Speaker 13 (25:02):
I'm of the opinion that if he has a standard
that is not being upheld, then why don't the two
of them start doing their own chores for a little bit.
She does what's good for her, he does what's good
for him. It's twenty twenty four. You can get laundry service,
you can get groceries delivered. You don't have to do
everything except coordinate it. And if he's making so much

(25:25):
money and he has these provider vibes, then it shouldn't
be a problem outsourcing. She's not his mommy. He doesn't
get it both ways.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, yeah, I think you're right, Tiffany. Thank you, have
a good day, you too, Bay, Thank you for calling,
Thanks for listening. Hey, Jason, good morning, Jason.

Speaker 6 (25:45):
Is it Mike?

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, mechanic.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
He has a few words called himself Jason, though, Hi, Jason,
what do you want to say?

Speaker 6 (25:54):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Honestly, it shouldn't even be about him staring or going.

Speaker 8 (25:58):
She needs to go hit it, go and go quickly,
because if this is the way he's.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Acting now, how is he gonna.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Act when kids are around or anything else down the line?

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Like it is ridiculous that this grown ass man can't
cook a dinner, clean up a little bit, and guarantee
she's not happy, and Ben, I guarantee it.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
You know what, let's go ahead and call this man
a short, short man as well. Yeah, that's exactly right.
You know what, Jason, this guy's not putting it down
your dn't I agree?

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Have you hearing the men talk like that? He gave
two pump shop energy?

Speaker 6 (26:30):
He did?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Yeah, he certainly did, Jason. I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, he's a grown ass man.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
He needs a man up and do like do equally
he needs to go. I agree, Thank you, Jason, have
a good day.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
I love that number trading me on Jason.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Yeah, you know, I think that's if someone texted this.
A few people have texted this, and I think it's right.
I think it's I think it comes down to he
probably treats her like a maid and she's probably over it,
and that's what I think. That's what it probably comes
down to. I'm she didn't agree to do it, not
that she couldn't do some of this stuff. I mean,
come on, you're on a call. You could put laundry,

(27:06):
and I guess you're on a call you could do
something else. I get if you agree to that if
that's if that's what you but the way that he
was acting on that call, if he treats her anywhere
like that, with that energy, then she's probably over it.
It's like, you don't respect what I'm doing. And she's
bringing money home.

Speaker 10 (27:20):
Too, and she's probably already beating herself up about this
already because I remember working from home and Big ten
would come back back and I would hear the car
pull up, and I would hurry up and go do
something like I was busy, you know, like, oh, let
me get up and act like I'm cleaning. Yeah, because yeah,
because in your mind you think this person is home
all day. There's no excuse. But like until you hear
that little Microsoft team saying.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
You don't know the struggle, right, I used to think
pre COVID, Honestly, if you had told me, I've said
this so many times, if you had told me Fred,
here's the deal. We're gonna put everything you need in
your house and you can do the show and you
don't have to leave your house. You'll do anything, I
would have thought that was the greatest thing ever until
it happens. Yeah, And then we did that for about
three days and we're like, nope.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
No, not having it, couldn't do it, not having no
eggs in the air once that's what did you Yeah
we were on the air.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
Yeah, yeah, we were on the Airyah. I made eggs.
That's where we were at. I was like, please bring
it back to the office.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
I'm really glad that we came in just to wear
my eggs. I'm hungry.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'd enjoyed it. The Entertainper reports next Fred show.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
The Fread Show is on.

Speaker 8 (28:26):
Yeah, Fread's fun fact red fun So body gods, did
you know?

Speaker 3 (28:41):
The first known speeding ticket was issued to Walter Arnold
in eighteen ninety six for going eight miles an hour. Oh,
the posted speed limit was two. This man four times
the speed limit.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Did he think he was? Who did Walter think he was?
Was on a horse?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Right?

Speaker 6 (29:05):
Horse?

Speaker 4 (29:05):
And muggy? Is he using his feet to horse?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I mean there's no no saying.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Probably electric vehicle eighteen ninety six. He was going eight

to where you need to go. He didn't know.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
Yeah, Well, what are the other What do you say
to a cop when you get pulled over going too fast?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I was, I was, I was.
