Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah, you know, I got a great gig. It's an uncle.
It is a great gig existence without children. Oh, I
know in your drugs.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Oh my god, you Georgia. I know, I know. And
this whole thing started because on Friday, I posted a
picture of my niece, my beautiful niece, perfect little kid,
who I've been on the record as saying, I don't
know how I could possibly do better than that. I
really don't. And May maybe is going to be I
switched my tune. I think Maybe might wind up being cooler.
(06:35):
I think Polly's going to be like my sister super type,
a really high strung kind of a princess in the
best way possible. And I can see May of being
the one that like gets high with.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Me the second kid man, which she's old.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Enough to get high, of course when it's legal and
old enough. Not certainly not.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, no, well a name like that may Eve.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I could I don't know, I could just see I
could see it being like that. Do you do you
have an idea, Shelley, what you think the personnel of
your child will be? Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, she's got so much personality right now, you.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Know what I mean? Do you think it'll be like you?
Do you think she'll be like you or like Mike
or I mean, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
She has little bits of each of us?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So like she uh, we were laughing over the weekend
because I'm like a big snacker, like I like to
eat a lot. She my daughter, eats a ton. She
wants to eat all the time. But she's way more
outgoing than I am. Like she's more like my husband.
She's super extroverted, like, loves people.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
She's taking her shirt off in public. Yeah, yeah, actually
can teach her not to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
But yeah, so she loves people. You know me, I'm
more of an introvert. So she takes after him in
that way. But yeah, it's fun to watch.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
It's fun.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I mean, last time I saw her, she came in here,
sat in my seat started pushing buttons. I had a
lot to say, no trouble at all, like no issue whatsoever.
So she definitely has a little bit of military mic
in her and then a little bit of her mom too,
because you know, when the lights lights, camera action, you know,
we must prof it's true.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
She's yeahlett, she got a little performer or for sure, yeah,
she likes music.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
She likes to dance a lot, so that's.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Got to be kind of cool though to watch them anyway.
But the whole thing started was because I posted this
picture and I said, you know, something to the effect
of I'm sure being I don't even remember what I said.
It was something about like she's cute or whatever, but
I'll go back to my door dash and gummies on
Friday night, which was a joke, but it wasn't no
because I like, it's because I have this perfect human
(08:29):
or something. And then I get this just this novel
from somebody like and it went to like the junk
folder because it's a fake profile. But it was just
went on and on about how a beta male and
how I'm like a loser basically, and how I'm pushing
fifty and like I'm giving like bad I'm a terrible
person and all the others. But first of all, if
forty three is pushing fifty, then my god, I mean,
(08:52):
may as well be sixty at that point. I'm just
as old as hell. And you know what, like they
tell you not to talk about your age and the like,
they don't want you to tell me, dude, I've been
here for fourteen years, Like it's I'm sorry, but it
is what it is. I was young when I got here,
and I'm relatively still young for what this is. But
the math is a math.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, we're all getting older. That's my favorite part of
that insult. It's like, so are you like we're all aging,
Like we just got older a second ago. Literally, yeah,
so why I'm like, sign your name, like who are you?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Say? Who you are?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Call us? Actually call us and.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Maybe maybe I'll hear your points, but.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
There's no points in that. I was in your inbox, heated.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
A lot of people that knew me were a lot
of people call me going, dude, do you know who
that was? Like that's like, who is it? I'm like
I don't know. I'll read it to you guys later though,
And people then other people are getting on me, like
why would you give this person any credence? I'm like, well,
it's free content as far as I'm concerned. That's the
way I looked at it was, I don't I don't
give it any credence actually, but but how could I?
(09:52):
How could I pass up on that? Posted it? And
I got all these dms, all these people, all their
takes on it. And the other thing is you got
to be really careful. You got to be really careful
when you're talking to people about kids and not having them. Oh,
because you're assuming when you take the stance that this
person did that if you don't have kids and you're
not married, that you I mean, okay, jdve answer whatever,
(10:14):
that you're you're a crazy cat lady, you know. And
he did say that, so don't get on me. He
did say that that is a real quote. But you know,
because you don't do that, then that means that you're
not a successful at life or that you're weak. How
do you know I'm not impotent? How do you know?
I I've tried to have kids and can't You don't
know that?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You literally do not know.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
That's why I can't stand that question, especially towards women too.
Women we get it worse. I'm not like saying experience
is not valid, because it is, but women we get it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No. I think, I think that that stigma is now
spreading to men of a certain age. And here I
thought I was successful in not in sort of saving
my first divorce for later, you know, But instead apparently
I'm unsuccessful. And the other thing is when people live
relatively nomadic, kid free, single lives, it's assumed that I
(10:59):
know this is true. For I was having this conversation
with someone last night, It's assumed that it's because nobody
wants you.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It's amazing to people that I might choose this life.
No way, now, it's rightly it might also be true
nobody wants me. But the truth is I reflect less
on that and more on the fact that I choose
this life, and that just is mind blowing to people.
It's impossible. But yet what I don't know. It's possible
(11:26):
to be happy and fulfilled on your own. It's wild
and you're going to live longer. Well, yeah, I could
make the same argument for the people who aren't capable
of living this way, or you know, for the people
who say you live a selfish life if you don't
have kids and get married. I would argue, in some ways, yes,
it's selfish. It's also selfless because I know myself well
enough to know my limitations and to know that the
(11:47):
things that other people see as normal and standard, I
don't not want them, but I want them to be
really special, and if they're not, then I don't know
that I want them.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
There's so many people who have had kids that maybe
shouldn't have.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
So that's yes, And I hate saying that as a mom,
but I'm be real the people. The person who told
you that, I guarantee you wants you to sink in
their misery with them, because no happy fulfilled parent or wife, husband, whatever,
would ever say that to you.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
There's a lot of projection. It felt to me like
somebody with whom I didn't do those things was writing
me to let me know how they felt about Oh.
I think that's funny, because it just felt it was
way too It was a lot. It was way too
harsh and way too pointed. I seem to be from
just a stranger. I thought. Anyway, I'll read it to
(12:33):
you guys in a little bit about for the tease.
You gotta listen for another hour, damn it. But that's
not part of Morality Monday, which we will be doing next, Shelley.
Hang around for Morality Monday. Yeah, or or it's actually

Speaker 3 (00:36):

my good friend too. But she's telling me like, oh,
I saw so and so and so and so and
so because I was kind of adopted by their friend group.
And it's all at kid's birthday because I'll have kids

call me, And they're like, dude, you wouldn't go to that. Well,

folder because it's a fake profile. But it was just
went on and on about how a beta male and
how I'm like a loser basically, and how I'm pushing
fifty and like I'm giving like bad I'm a terrible
person and all the others. But first of all, if
forty three is pushing fifty, then my god, I mean,
(08:52):
may as well be sixty at that point. I'm just
as old as hell. And you know what, like they
tell you not to talk about your age and the like,
they don't want you to tell me, dude, I've been
here for fourteen years, Like it's I'm sorry, but it
is what it is. I was young when I got here,
and I'm relatively still young for what this is. But
the math is a math.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, we're all getting older. That's my favorite part of
that insult. It's like, so are you like we're all aging,
Like we just got older a second ago. Literally, yeah,
so why I'm like, sign your name, like who are you?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Say? Who you are?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Call us? Actually call us and.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Maybe maybe I'll hear your points, but.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
There's no points in that. I was in your inbox, heated.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
A lot of people that knew me were a lot
of people call me going, dude, do you know who
that was? Like that's like, who is it? I'm like
I don't know. I'll read it to you guys later though,
And people then other people are getting on me, like
why would you give this person any credence? I'm like, well,
it's free content as far as I'm concerned. That's the
way I looked at it was, I don't I don't
give it any credence actually, but but how could I?
(09:52):
How could I pass up on that? Posted it? And
I got all these dms, all these people, all their
takes on it. And the other thing is you got
to be really careful. You got to be really careful
when you're talking to people about kids and not having them. Oh,
because you're assuming when you take the stance that this
person did that if you don't have kids and you're
not married, that you I mean, okay, jdve answer whatever,
(10:14):
that you're you're a crazy cat lady, you know. And
he did say that, so don't get on me. He
did say that that is a real quote. But you know,
because you don't do that, then that means that you're
not a successful at life or that you're weak. How
do you know I'm not impotent? How do you know?
I I've tried to have kids and can't You don't
know that?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
You literally do not know.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
That's why I can't stand that question, especially towards women too.
Women we get it worse. I'm not like saying experience
is not valid, because it is, but women we get it.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
No. I think, I think that that stigma is now
spreading to men of a certain age. And here I
thought I was successful in not in sort of saving
my first divorce for later, you know, But instead apparently
I'm unsuccessful. And the other thing is when people live
relatively nomadic, kid free, single lives, it's assumed that I
(10:59):
know this is true. For I was having this conversation
with someone last night, It's assumed that it's because nobody
wants you.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
It's amazing to people that I might choose this life.
No way, now, it's rightly it might also be true
nobody wants me. But the truth is I reflect less
on that and more on the fact that I choose
this life, and that just is mind blowing to people.
It's impossible. But yet what I don't know. It's possible
(11:26):
to be happy and fulfilled on your own. It's wild
and you're going to live longer. Well, yeah, I could
make the same argument for the people who aren't capable
of living this way, or you know, for the people
who say you live a selfish life if you don't
have kids and get married. I would argue, in some ways, yes,
it's selfish. It's also selfless because I know myself well
enough to know my limitations and to know that the
(11:47):
things that other people see as normal and standard, I
don't not want them, but I want them to be
really special, and if they're not, then I don't know
that I want them.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
There's so many people who have had kids that maybe
shouldn't have.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
So that's yes, And I hate saying that as a mom,
but I'm be real the people. The person who told
you that, I guarantee you wants you to sink in
their misery with them, because no happy fulfilled parent or wife, husband, whatever,
would ever say that to you.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
There's a lot of projection. It felt to me like
somebody with whom I didn't do those things was writing
me to let me know how they felt about Oh.
I think that's funny, because it just felt it was
way too It was a lot. It was way too
harsh and way too pointed. I seem to be from
just a stranger. I thought. Anyway, I'll read it to
(12:33):
you guys in a little bit about for the tease.
You gotta listen for another hour, damn it. But that's
not part of Morality Monday, which we will be doing next, Shelley.
Hang around for Morality Monday. Yeah, or or it's actually
time for your bathroom break never mind, go do that
that is, or you could do both at the same time.
So that's got you. We got you that sports sportscaster
(12:53):
or headset for this reason, Brady Spearstown. Yeah. You can
make breakfast, you can go to the math, you can
do whatever you want, you know, and still be on
the air.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I have a good days, Shelley. Okay, bye, all right,
Kiki's out today, back tomorrow. Some Morality Monday. We'll do
