he was the guy who laughed when reaching the conclusion
of an activity that takes place when a man loves

Well, he got that one right, at least you did
get that.

Speaker 6 (01:11):
I know.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
I threw that one in just to see if you
pick the same team again and to see if you
check the score, which you clearly did not. But so
you had the Falcons on Thursday and that was that
was a win. You had the Vikings over the Jets,
that was a win. You had the Panthers over the Bears.
I know that was on purpose because when you picked
the other team, the Bears win. So it's kind of
a wine. Panthers are absolutely terrible, and the Panthers aren't terrible.

(01:37):
They are They are the worst football they are and
their owner is even worse. Yeah, that's why they have absolute.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Worst owner, right p Jerry Richardson legend. I just can't.

the Colts over the Jaguars. No, oh, you had the
Patriots over the Dolphins.

the Ravens. No, almost, but no, you had the Browns
over the Commanders. No, you had the Bills over the Texans.

Not so much. You had the Broncos over the Raiders. Yes,
oh yeah.

You had the four nine Ers over the Cardinals, which
I would have taken too. But no, you had the
Seahawks over the Giants. No, I would have taken that
one too. Actually, you had the Rams over the Packers.
Also would have picked that. No, Packers won, and you
had the Cowboys over the Steelers. That was a yes tonight.
So you can go to four and nine, five and nine,
five and nine rather sorry, thank you, because you are
four and nine. You could go to five and nine.

(02:40):

Oh, oh my god.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
As for the Parsley, it's not a total loss yet

Burrow will not get the sack. He did get the sack.
Cairo Santos won't be yes, he did, miss oh my,
and Travis Kelsey we'll get a touchdown and a tailor
appearance tonight. We'll see about the Parsley. So the Parsley
is not quite over yet.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
It never ends.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
But Jason, I mean I thought the eleven and five
or whatever that was, I thought that was a real
sign of what's to come. I mean that was that
was a lot of brilliance there.

Speaker 6 (03:26):
This.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, this was an off week. Yeah, no, it certainly was.
If you live in Florida, I'm sorry, another hurricane. The
west coast of Florida is in for an increasing risk
of life threatening storm Surgeon win the impact is a
tropical storm intensified into Hurricane Milton. The storm has reached
Category one status, producing sustained winds of eighty miles an

(03:48):
hour on Sunday. Forecasts expect Milton to reach the Gulf
coast of Florida, including the entire Tampa Bay area, as
a category three on Wednesday. The rain has begun and
the Miami, Orlando, and Tampa areas can expect four to
eight inches of rain through Thursday. There is a state
of emergency in Florida for fifty one of the state's
sixty seven counties. He said the cleanup effort after Hurricane

(04:10):
Helene has gone twenty four to seven in anticipation of
the arrival of Milton, so another storm, and western North
Carolina is getting back on the grid thanks to face
Ax and T Mobile. They were given the green light
from the FCC yesterday to enable Starlink satellites, who direct
to sell capabilities. This was done to provide coverage for
cell phones and areas in North Carolina devastated by Hurricane Helene.

(04:32):
The spokesperson of the FCC so the agency remains committed
to helping with recovery efforts in states affected by Helene's
BaseX said satellites have been enabled and are broadcasting emergency
alerts to cell phones on all networks.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
In North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
The American dream, guys, what do you consider the American dream?
A house, a couple kids, Yeah, maybe a car, a dog,
a dog, a career, yeah, maybe like some vacations. I
don't know, a nice wedding. Whatever they're saying. The American
dream over the course of a lifetime, as of today,
would cost four point four million dollars. Four point four

(05:09):
million dollars. And this is how they broke it down.
One point six million for retirement. What they say, you're
gonna need one point six million, I'm way off. Yeah,
it's gonna held on nine hundred and thirty thousand for
home ownership. This is over the course of a lifetime
eight hundred and thirty two grand to raise two kids,
which I think that's maybe low if you have to
put them through college.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
Eight for two kids eighteen years each, all the food,
all the school, all the stuff. That seems to me
like nine thirties high for homeownership, but eight thirty two
might be.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Owning new cars over the course of your lifetime eight
hundred and eleven thousand dollars, annual vacations over the course
of a lifetime one hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars,
the wedding forty four grand, pets thirty seven grand, and
your funeral eight thousand dollars. Wow, that's what it would
cost to do all that stuff. So I don't know
where you're gonna save money on that four point four million,

(06:02):
but maybe, I don't know, maybe a few few how
about no kids? How about no kids? And man, you
don't have to have forty four thousand dollars. Wedding a
little too late for that, friend.

Speaker 8 (06:11):
Yeah, just created too Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Why dyeing the cheapest part, Yeah, sounds about right, Well,
you're dead, so what.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Do you care?

Speaker 2 (06:21):
But I'm sure is that is all of that, even
the American dream anymore. I mean raising two kids and
getting married. I thin there are a lot of people
who might tell you that that's not even in the
same part of it anymore. That's very true at all.
YouTube personality and kickstreamer Jack Doherty.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Have you heard about this?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
He totally his two hundred thousand dollars McLaren's supercar by
texting and live streaming. I guess or video him videoing
himself in the rain. He was live streaming, So there's
a video of this. It shows the twenty year old
internet star looking down at his phone in his hand
as he drives along a slippery Miami Highway on Saturday.
Seconds later, he loses control of the vehicle, screaming as

(06:58):
he glides across the right lanes ashes into a guardrail.
The video on the streaming platform then goes white. This
cameraman in the passengers heat can be heard growing in
pain saying open the door. I guess that guy's that.
Both of them went to the hospital. The cameraman got
stitches and he's been banned from Kick this guy can't

(07:19):
go and kick anymore, which I do. I'm not a
member of Kick. There's one more I don't need. It's
like TikTok or twitch or something.

Speaker 9 (07:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
I think it's like it's like you just stream. I
can stream, but only to like people that follow you
or something are your friend or something like that.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
So next time we're driving your two hundred thousand dollars
car as part of that American dream, then don't text
and drive ever under or live stream and drive that matter.

Speaker 8 (07:42):
I'm listening.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, em and M's have de thrown Reese's Peanut Butter
Cups as the top Halloween candy for the first time ever,
you guys, breaking news. Sour Patch Kids climbed to number
three in the rankings. Somehow, candy Corn is number seven,
Butterfinger the top ten, now taking the top spot. I

(08:03):
guess in South Carolina and Oklahoma Butterfinger star Pad Kids.
I mean, I realized it's a relatively new candies that
maybe a new classic. I could see that being in
the top ten.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
Sure.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Eminem's though over Reese's Peanut Butter Comes Peanut are Plate,
it doesn't say now that might not be fair because
there's so many different kinds of eminems.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
So I don't know if you know for my money,
the peanut butter eminem's yeah, that's where it's at. It's
a different taste. I understand that they ground up the peanut,
that's the only difference. But the peanut butter filled eminem
for my dollar or six or seven or how much
they cost them. From food trucks to Michelin Star restaurants,

(08:43):
every city has its own culinary gems. To discover, wallet
hub did some deep diving to figure out who basically
has the best food the best city for food Chicago
not even in the top ten rally, not in the
top ten, Miami number one, San Francisco, Orlando, Portland, Tampa, Sacramento,
Las Vegas, Seattle, Denver, San Diego. I would think Vegas

(09:05):
would be higher because Vegas has at least a clone
of every restaurant imaginable.

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Sodas Orlando or food Spottle on There's planet.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
We're not talking about fast food though, we're talking about
best food, and believe it or not, Rufio, there are
places that are not fast food that you can eat well.
Is the thing just a door dash of what what
was it? No, not necessarily, it's let me see you.
They looked at a whole bunch of categories affordability, diversity, accessibility,
quality sounds like fast food.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
To me, encompassing everything with a number of eateries.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Food, food trucks are included too, all the way from
food trucks to like five star stuff. I think Orlando
probably because of Disney. You got a bunch of world
travelers and they get all kinds of stuff. But I
do would think Vegas would be higher. Like you can
go to Carbone, you can go to you know, you
can get the best sushi and can get the best
of telling you the best everything.

Speaker 10 (09:53):
Oh, I thought that'd be a lot lower for Vegas
because I've told you before Jason my wedding, I was like,
this is like manufactured fun. Like Vegas isn't like a
real place, you know what I mean. It's all like manufactured.
So like we ate a long time ago. I one
of the festivals we went to, the iHeart Festival, we
ate a Bubba Gump shrimp.

Speaker 8 (10:09):
Like, I don't think of food in Vegas because.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
It's a like cuisine experience.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
You can find it if you want it.

Speaker 8 (10:15):
But it's not good like. It's not like like.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
Food like well like to friend's point, there's a lot
of world travelers and they never had bubble gum shrimp
before you what I'm saying, So they'll rate it high
because they never had a shrimp sandwich or something like that.

Speaker 8 (10:28):
Not for the bubble gum. How is Chicago not up
there for you?

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Orlean not not in there?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
It's National Child Health Day, National Chocolate covered Pretzel Day
didn't make the Halloween list, National Consignment Day, and National
Inner Beauty Day, which I celebrate each and every day
raising awareness and supporting. Well, I guess this is for
human trafficking. I just celebrate interviewing. Well, I do support
those who are victims of human traffick dings. But I

(10:57):
was just saying, as a normal looking guy that I
celebrate inter beauty all day long.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Why are you laughing?

Speaker 8 (11:02):
I could tell that you didn't know what was next.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Of course I knew what was not beautiful on the inside.
I was I'm only reflecting on being beautiful. Like Jeams
Flunt would say, yeah, thanks, maybe put that in front
of them, maybe pore he went drag it in front
of the way. I support both thanks.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
Waiting.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
The follow up in the entertainment of fort nights on
the Fred.

Speaker 9 (11:25):
Show, the Order of the Fresh Show, It's Kiki's court,
all right, the.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Honor Bale Kiki Leak is here. H alright, take it away.

Speaker 8 (11:36):
Okay, let's get into that.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Do a little dance over here at Judge Kiki.

Speaker 8 (11:40):
This one says, Hey, Kiki, my name is Anthony.

Speaker 11 (11:43):
I just turned twenty one, and I recently decided to
leave my four year university and move back home to
try a trade school. I thought my mom would be
really disappointed, but surprisingly, she was very supportive of my decision.
My mom divorced my stepdad a few months ago, and
he left her to raise my six year old twin
sisters alone. Since I've been back home, I've been helping

(12:05):
babysit my sisters and it's been working out great for
my mom and saving her a lot of money. Well,
we just ran into our first issue because after being
unemployed for months, I was excited to tell my mom
that I landed a job with a great company. To
my surprise, my mom never set congratulations but instead said,
oh great, Now, who's gonna watch the girls?

Speaker 8 (12:26):
Now I feel horrible.

Speaker 11 (12:28):
I start the job in two weeks, and I am
now considering just declining the offer to stay home and
help my mom. She's been very rude and short with
me since I told her about the opportunity. But in
my defense, I am not the father of her kids.
This should not be my responsibility.

Speaker 8 (12:43):
What should I do?

Speaker 1 (12:45):
This is her son.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
This is her son that's apparently supposed to be keeping
track of these kids while mom's off. I mean, now,
how much financial support does she provided the son?

Speaker 8 (12:56):
Well, he's living in her house. He moved home from college, living.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
In her house, paying for school too?

Speaker 12 (13:00):
Well?

Speaker 8 (13:00):
Did he was supposed to start a trade school, But
it looks like he.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Just like supposed to pay for that though, do we know?

Speaker 9 (13:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (13:09):
Huh?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
I mean, but he has every right to go start
a life for himself, doesn't he.

Speaker 11 (13:16):
That's what I say, I think, Anthony, in my opinion,
you are right, this is not your responsibility. You're being
a good big brother by helping your mom is obviously
helping you. You're living in her house at this point.
But I just I feel like parents who should always
set their kids up for success. And I know she's
in a tough spot right now with the stepdad running

(13:37):
off and leaving her with the girls. But like cis,
you have to find other options. It's not his burden
to take care of his sisters. Yeah, she's got to
hold the stepdad. Yeah, you gotta hold somebody accountable because
it's not Anthony's responsibility. And I know how that may
feel to him, Like now he's not He's like, maybe
I'll just stay home and help her, you know, like
you want to help your parents in every way that
you can't you can, but their children are not your responsibility.

(14:01):
I had people in high school, friends in high school
who were the shout out to all the older siblings, like,
if you're the whole sibling, if you're the oldest in
your family, you are the strongest soldier. Because let me
just tell you, your parents had you nine times out
of ten. They don't know what they were doing. You know,
you were the experimental child, and now you getting therapy. Yeah,
that's the responsibility of your siblings. Like my sister raised me,

(14:23):
but literally that was because my mom was like dead,
you know, she didn't have a choice. I just ended
up on her doorstep and she was an angel and
took me in.

Speaker 8 (14:30):
But at the end of the day.

Speaker 11 (14:31):
I was not her responsibility that I was really my
father's responsibility. So like, if you're able to help your parents,
by all means help your parents, but you can't. You
can't guilt trip your son to take care of his sisters.

Speaker 8 (14:43):
That's not right.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
But it sounds like he's been helping out a lot
as it is. Yeah, so it's not like he hasn't
tried to step up, right, But he has every right
to go off and you know, do what he needs
to do to start his own life and grow his
own family and do his own thing. And I'm sure
he can still help out a little bit, but I mean, ultimately,
what's he supposed to do? Be their caregiver forever and

(15:04):
they never create a life for himself.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Right.

Speaker 10 (15:07):
It's hard because I feel like in a lot of
cultures too, the parents will make you feel guilty for
even leaving. You know, who's going to take care of
the rest of the kids, Who's going to take care
of me? You know, like like the parent will say,
you know, like mom and dad, they're getting older. So
I think that it's a really tough spot that she's in,
like you said, Kiki, but you know, he's got a
what does it flap?

Speaker 8 (15:25):
His wings? Spread his wings at that house, Like Nelly said,
drop down, get you. He has to do what he's
got to do.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
But to friend's point, who was paying for school and
he was in school? And who is was going to
pay for the school he was going to go to?

Speaker 8 (15:41):
But guess what did I have you?

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Or did you have me?

Speaker 7 (15:45):
I had you.

Speaker 11 (15:46):
I'm the parent. It's my responsibility to pay for your schooling.
You're not doing me a favor by supporting me through school.
That's that's what your job as a parent. You're not
doing me any favors. I'm sorry I look at it
that way, like it's a you know, every parent is
not able to do it, but you are my parent,
and so if anybody's gonna get me through school, it
should be you.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, there does come a point I think where you
do have to be I'm not gonna say is a
full circle moment, but there's definitely a time in life
where you have to be supportive of your parents because
maybe they're too old to care for them so or
at least at least watch over them.

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
But like we are so far away from that, and
I hate when the parents try and and my mom
and dad didn't do this, My mom and my adopted
dad didn't do this. But when they try and flip
it on you, like somehow as a kid, you have
like equal obligation. It's like, no, I have an obligation
to be your son or daughter, and I have an
obligation to then go out and make the best life

(16:41):
I can for myself based on the way that you've
set me up, or to do better than I've done.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
That's another thing.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Who's to say he doesn't go out get this, you know,
training and get a job and then he's able to
help out even more, not that that's his burden, but
like again, you know, he's going out trying to make
a life for himself, he's trying to create a career
and a life and all these things. He stays in
the house and watches his siblings all day, then he's
never gonna have the opportunity to do that.

Speaker 8 (17:04):
And that's not fair.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
And he didn't make those kids.

Speaker 8 (17:07):
He did not.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
And so if you're gonna get on anybody, it should
be the stepdad for being negligent, not the son who
has been trying all this time. It is now like, hey,
I'm twenty one, let's go out and do something. Yeah yeah,
eight five five five three five. You guys at the jury,
all Kicky's court along with us.

Speaker 8 (17:24):
It's so sad. I feel bad. I really do feel
bad for the mom because I know she's in a
tough spot.

Speaker 11 (17:29):
But like, I just hate when parents put their burdens
on their children, you know, it's just not fair.

Speaker 8 (17:34):
Or when they try to tell you, like all I've
done for you and it's like, you're on, Harry, what
do you think he supposed to do? I was gonna
wait my own butt. I didn't ask to be here,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, I mean, there's definitely I think.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
You want to be grateful, you know, you want to
be helpful, of course, but you also they created you,
they brought you in and now you you know, there's
a time when you go out into the world and
then make a life for yourself. Yes, and yeah, maybe
someday full circle, it comes back years and years and
years from now where you kind of maybe go back
and help them in their later years, but not now,

(18:07):
and not with the kids that you didn't make in
the relationship that's defunct. That she probably needs to go
find that guy and say where's the money for the babysitters?

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Or why aren't you involved?

Speaker 7 (18:18):
Right?

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Because yeah, I agree, that's a whole other court case.
Come on there, yeah, child, daddy, kid, you can contact
us same number eight five five five nine one one
o three five going through somebody's text my boyfriend. This
is from a Cassandra. My boyfriend's the oldest of four
with two having a twelve and thirteen year old age gap.

(18:40):
He doesn't want kids now because he had to take
care of them and change diapers as a teenager. He
had to help financially everything. It completely ruined his desire
for a family. He needs to take a job and
start his career. It's not fair, and yeah, it's not
fair for the mom to guilt him. School is irrelevant.
Mom is responsible for kids, not the siblings.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Mom is wrong.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Wait a minute, school is irrelevant. To pay for your
parents do not need to pay for college. Last born
does more than you will ever know or think. Firstborn
may help with the young kids, but try taking care
of your older, aging, dying parents, because that is the
last born job.

Speaker 8 (19:17):
Oh, they're saying, the baby of the family always gets
stuck with the parents.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Maybe, I mean maybe, yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 8 (19:24):
My younger brother's definitely taking on all the duty.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Yeah. Does my sister expect me to do this because
she has kids? Probably?

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
I heye, Caitlin h Hi, Hey, good boys, you heard
Kikey's court. What do you think it is?

Speaker 13 (19:40):
This is such a generational thought. It is not the
child's responsibility to raise their children. They are still a child,
they are still their parents' child. So at the end
of the day, regardless of you know, if you have
your younger siblings, of course, you know you you're going

(20:00):
to want to help out, You're going to want to
hopefully want to be there for your siblings. But it's
not that kid's responsibility to raise them. They have their
own lives to make. We want better for our children.
We want our children to have better than we had.
And if we keep putting this generational well, I brought
you into this world, and how are you going to
help me? Our children are never going to do better

(20:20):
than us. It's just a constant generational cycle that's going
to keep repeating.

Speaker 8 (20:25):
So true.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
I'm sure it's hard because she doesn't have a lot
of options, and she trusts her son and all the
rest of it. But like, he has every right to
go out. I've said it one hundred times in this
secon he has every right to go out and create
for himself. And who knows, maybe someday he's able and
maybe he's able to help out a little bit, and
maybe someday, you know, it comes full circle once he
creates a life for himself. But like, again, he's got
to be able to do that. Yep, yeah, thank you,

(20:48):
have a great job.

Speaker 9 (20:49):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
He's got to take the job, Tony, Tony, He's got
to take the job, right.

Speaker 14 (20:55):
Yes, take the job.

Speaker 15 (20:56):
It's hards to find good jobs down here, and it's
not his desponsibility to raise the kids. He can help
the mom with the girls, but he has to take
that job.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah. Yeah, I think so too. And I don't know
what mom's gonna do. But again, where's the deadbeat dad?

Speaker 8 (21:09):
He don't jack?

Speaker 14 (21:10):
Yeah, they got to figure that out. But don't turn
down the job to babysit.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, it's gonna be an awkward household.

Speaker 12 (21:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (21:16):
And then like yeah, because now like holidays are coming
up and the mom is acting weird.

Speaker 8 (21:21):
She's been very short with him and ruin ever since
he broke the news.

Speaker 15 (21:24):
That is not right.

Speaker 8 (21:25):
That's your kids.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
The mom is grown up, the kid is the kids. Yes, yeah,
thank you to be excited. Your son got a job.
You're right, Economy. Hey, Tony, have a great day. Thank
you for listening.

Speaker 14 (21:37):
Thanks, have a go on my bye.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Thanks for being part of the thirteen.

Speaker 15 (21:40):
We love you.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Hey, Margot, good morning.

Speaker 14 (21:43):
Good morning missus Margot from Humble Park. Okay, I'm a
single mom of four kids who are now twenty three,
twenty two, and I have twins that are nineteenth. And
I did it all on my own.

Speaker 15 (22:01):
You know, there's many programs for the mom to get
here before she starts work, during work, so she shouldn't
put the burden on her son to give up a
good job to become a babysitter. It doesn't work that way.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
And you live this life and you managed to make
it work. And I'm sure you want your kids out
there now that they're growing up. I'm sure you want
them out there creating lives of their own and finding
success of their own.

Speaker 12 (22:27):
Yeah, and I'm still paying for my daughter's school. She
took music engineering and she graduated already in the payment
is more than a cardinal. Well here I am still
chipping away in you're doing amazing.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
Well, good for you, Yes, and thank you for coming
for Sharon. Have a great day, Margo. Thanks for listening
to so you don't have to pay for this entertainment.
This is free, so you know, I mean, and you
can tell that it's free when you listen to it, exactly. So, Cassie,
do you want the text a minute ago?

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Yes, you texted me.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
So it's your boyfriend then, who basically you feel like
he doesn't even want a family now because he puts
so much energy into raising his younger siblings.

Speaker 11 (23:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
So, I mean he you know, his mom was around
and everything like that, and she she was like a
nanny and stuff, and he had a stepdad and everything.
And he actually has two step brothers too, so he's
the oldest of six technically. But yeah, so his two
youngest siblings are twelve and thirteen years younger. And so
I mean he was a thirteen year old boy changing
diapers at you know, midnight and helping out and doing

(23:37):
all of these things, and financially as well. I mean,
he had to move back after college and you know,
helped out and with the house bills and the driving
around and this and that and everything and so and
still to this day, he is the one that everyone
goes to, like she is always the one. So now
he's kind of at that point where he's like, I
don't want kids, I want my freedom.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
I didn't hit it. He feels like he's already raised kids.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, it's like he already did this and now yeah,
and it's almost like reversed, right because as a teenager
he was doing this and now that he's a grown up,
he doesn't want to do it anymore. But I'm sure
you wanted to do it because you probably want to
get married and have a family.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
Right, I mean, yeah, it's definitely going to topic because
we're actually ten years apart, so I mean he's in
his late thirties now and I'm you know, in my
late twenties, and so it's definitely been a topic of like, okay,
so you know, is this a make it or break
it kind of deal because I haven't reached that point
yet where I've made that decision. But he's like a
hard like absolutely not not happening, and you know, so

(24:35):
it definitely.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
Yeah, you don't see, you can have your own damn
segment around the same time tomorrow. That's got to be hard,
that's going to be So when do you then, when
do you, Cassie make the decision? Like, like, I mean,
ultimatums never work, really, I mean, when do you decide
if this relationship is for you if you have those
goals and he maybe doesn't.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
I mean to be honest, like, I absolutely love him,
and that's really to me.

Speaker 8 (25:04):
It could.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
It could be either way for me, Like if.

Speaker 15 (25:05):
It happened, great, If not, that's okay.

Speaker 4 (25:08):
I'm personally not like a huge kids person, but I
also know that that's different when you have your own,
So like, I think that's a whole that's a whole
different thing. But I love him more than that's really
important to me, so I think that ultimately I'd rather
just do with him than anything.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
So well, well, thank you for sharing. I'm sure that's hard,
but we appreciate it and have a great day.

Speaker 15 (25:29):
Thank you you too.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, we'll see I'm stairgo here pretty soon.

Speaker 11 (25:31):
Yeah, that's a shout out to her forgiving him grace,
Like she understands that he's been through the trauma of
raising kids and now he doesn't want any.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yeah, I just and I'm sure you know they'll figure
it out. But I hope that she never comes later
to resent him, I know, because she sort of.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
I mean, my kids.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
We all make sacrifices, right, like, you know, if we
love somebody enough, then we give up things. They give
up things and whatever. But that one is the one
that seems to sort of linger because I know people
who have met and said, okay, find no kids and
agree on that because one's really hardcore in one corner,
one's in the other, and it tends to resurface. It
tends to resurface years later once the relationship is intact,

(26:08):
and it can cause resembment on both sides because it's like,
wait a minute, we agreed on this. I told you
it was okay if you needed to go, but we
agreed on this, and then now here we are again. Yeah,
and people change their minds, but like, I don't know,
but he needs to take that job, right.

Speaker 11 (26:24):
Anthony, take the joboo and yep, we're gonna your mamma
to get it together.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Well, I'm glad you got right too. Is we've been
making this man wait a month for this decision.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
I'm sorry, Anthony, hopefully you took the job.

Speaker 9 (26:34):
Yes, go to school, Showerry. You've ever been left waiting
by the phone. It's the Frend Show. Hey Pat, good morning,
Welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
How are you?

Speaker 11 (26:49):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Good morning guys. What's going on with this woman?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Mary? We got to kind of know everything. How did
you guys meet? Tell us about any dates that you've
been on, and then what's happening right now?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
So we've got mutual friends.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
That's how we came to know each other. And we
were at a bar watching some college football, like a
few weeks ago, and we just started talking, talking all day,
flirting a ton. And the following week I was gonna
have some people over to watch some more college football,
so you know, I extended an invite to her and

(27:23):
she was excited, she said yes. And I'm kind of
wondering where things went wrong because after that, like, I
haven't really heard from.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Her, okay.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
And you said you met through mutual friends. Have you
asked any of the friends you know, if everything's okay
or are you kind of trying to keep them out
of this because that can be weird?

Speaker 6 (27:40):
I know when when Yeah, I've asked a couple of
them actually, and they say, I don't know what's going on,
So I'm hoping that, you know, you guys can be
my last shot here, Okay, getting a hold of it.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Okay, yeah, well that's what we're doing here. So we're
gonna call Mary. You'll be on the phone. We're gonna
ask some questions on your behalf and the hope here
is always a week and straighten things out and figure
out what's up and hopefully set you guys up on another.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Date that we pay for. Okay, that would be great. Yeah,
let's find out what's going on.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Part two of Waiting metaphone after Teddy Swims back in
two minutes on The Fred Show. Teddy Swims, Good morning,
It's the Fred Show. Hey, pat, Hey, all right, man,
let's call this woman Mary. You met through some friends.
You said that you wound up going on a date.
It was kind of more of like a group thing though.
You all went out watch football something like that. Yeah, okay,
all right, and you liked her and you thought everything

(28:30):
went well, and you've reached out to try and set
up another date and you haven't heard from her.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
She's not responding. You want to know why. I would
love to know why. Yes, Okay, let's call her now.
Good luck?

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Pat?

Speaker 1 (28:40):
All right? Thanks?

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Ella?

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Hi is this Mary?

Speaker 12 (28:50):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Mary?

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Hi, good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling from
the Fred's Show. It's the morning radio show, and I
have to tell you that we are on the radio
and I would need your permission to continue with the call.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
He said, okay, if we'ch have for just to set Yeah,
did I like, did I sign up for something?

Speaker 12 (29:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
I was gonna say, did you win anything? No, because
that's a common question. You didn't.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
Well, maybe we'll see how this turns out, but thank
you for your permission. We're calling on behalf of a
guy named Pat. I guess you met through some friends.
And he says, you guys went on a date recently,
kind of more of a group thing, but you went
on a date. Do you remember him?

Speaker 9 (29:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (29:27):
I do?

Speaker 15 (29:27):
Actually?

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay, okay, Well what happened with this guy?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Because he called us and wanted to know, you know,
if we could get ahold of you and ask because
I guess he's been trying to get ahold of you
to ask you out again. And he says you're not responding.
You feel like he's being ghosted. So what's the deal.

Speaker 16 (29:43):
I mean, honestly, that's kind of shocking, because like I
didn't even think that Pat liked me. We had thought
at the bar, that's true, like when we first met,
but it was so it was completely different when I
went to his place to did he tell you that?
Like I went to his place to watch a game.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
The following weekend, he said that, Well, he said that
he saw you again and that you and some friends
I guess, and a bunch of people watch football.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Is that so what happened? He didn't give us much more.

Speaker 16 (30:14):
Well, he barely talked to me, Like he didn't even
he didn't get up to hug me when I got there,
Like his friends were really nice, Like I mean, he
just thought like, hey, thanks for coming. That was it,
And like I talked to a lot of other people.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
That day, and.

Speaker 16 (30:32):
Like he acted like I honestly, he acted like I
wasn't even there, Like he didn't offer me a drink
when I got there, nothing, no food, and on top
of that and I and honestly, this was like the
final straw when I was ready to leave, and.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
I didn't stay long because.

Speaker 16 (30:47):
It was awkward. He didn't even like get up to
say bye or anything. He just like said goodbye from
the couch.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
He was like, peace bye, I have a good one.

Speaker 16 (30:58):
Go by myself to get my uber carry.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
If this guy has interest in you and you go
to something where he is and you know that he's
pursuing you, then you expect him to make you feel special. Right,
get up, say hi, get you a drink, hang out
with you, or how about even better, not invite you
to something with a bunch of other people, right, Like, I.

Speaker 16 (31:17):
Feel like this goes back to the like it reminded
me of like being nervous in college after like you
kiss a guy at a party or something, like the
next time you see them, like they just don't acknowledge.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
You, and like we're adults.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
It's weird.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
So this guy didn't put his best foot forward, like
as far as you're concerned, you guys were friendly or something,
because he didn't treat you like somebody that he wanted
to date.

Speaker 16 (31:38):
I mean he just also there was no like cutesy
flirred like, there was nothing. He didn't even talk to me,
He didn't acknowledge me. It was as if he didn't even.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Want me there.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
So I just felt weird. Let me bring I forgot
to mention that Pat is here, a very fearful Pat.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
What what's the deal? Why would you invite her to
something and not make her feel special? And then why
you asked us why she's not calling you? I mean,
she doesn't. You didn't even try.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
I mean, I didn't think of it that bigure to do.
To be honest with you, I mean, to be honest,
I was kind of nervous when she came over. The
first time we met, we were at the bar. I
was drunk, so naturally I'm going to be more like
outgoing and talk at it. But when she came to
my house, I was sober, and you know, I had
already kind of found out that I liked her, and

(32:24):
it just was kind of nerve wrecking, to be honest
with you, So maybe I didn't handle that as good
as I could have.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
He was nervous, Mary, he was nervous. Are we buying that?

Speaker 16 (32:35):
Yeah, I mean I definitely I was nervous too, And like,
I respect the honesty, I think that's great, but I
just I don't know, I think I need I wish
you nothing but the best, but like I just wow,
I felt really uncomfortable and like I just don't I
want the person that I'm dating or even interested in

(32:57):
to acknowledge my existence.

Speaker 1 (32:59):
And I just didn't feel like you did that at all.
He's he's a nice guy.

Speaker 16 (33:04):
You're a nice guy, Pat, But I just I don't
think that we're compatible. I need someone that can, like
not make me feel really uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
I feel like you should have invited her either as
a friend like set friend vibes and been like, hey,
come to my party. We're watching games as a friend,
or you should have said hey, let's go on a
date and then taken her on a date individually.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
And I realized that asked her out that night if
I huge spoken to her.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
Like the football game was on it you don't want
to be bothered like because your team's playing.

Speaker 10 (33:38):
No.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
I was just nervous, and I don't know, maybe I
blew it. I guess I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I mean I feel bad because I understand that nerves
can you know, sometimes people get anxiety and they freeze
up and and whatever. But if you're going to invite
somebody over and you want to be with them, then
you got to pay attention to them when they show up. Look,
is there any way Mary that you would give this
guy another chance and go on a date an individual,
a one on one date. We'll pay for it, and
maybe now that it's all out on the table, the

(34:04):
anxiety is less.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
No.

Speaker 16 (34:06):
I mean, look, I appreciate it, but I it's just
not in it for me.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I don't.

Speaker 16 (34:13):
I just really feel uncomfortable and I think I need
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
More of a gentleman.

Speaker 16 (34:19):
And you're a great guy, Pat, but I it just
it was really weird and I don't want to feel
uncomfortable again, and I just want to that would be my.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
This makes me sad, but that's fine.

Speaker 16 (34:32):
That's fine that you don't think it's that bad, but
you should, and that's what worries me. So I respectfully,
I don't want to date you. Happy to be your friend.

Speaker 2 (34:44):
It gives a little immature a little bit because you're
just kind of like, oh, I mean, if you like somebody,
you've got to you've got to make them feel certain
that of way.

Speaker 8 (34:52):
Yeah, you got to put some effort in. And she's
standing on business and I think that's great.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Okay, Well, thank you, I'm sorry, Pat, sa could Mary
thank you for your time? Best of luck to both
of you.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Okay, whatever I guess.
