Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a red show.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
This is what's trending, all right, Jason Brad is back
from it great.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
It's honestly one of my favorite shows that we do
because the vibes are immaculate, Like everyone comes like dressed
to the nines. They're there at a party, Like there's
no drama. It's just like fun. Like everyone is just
so fun and.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
You can put your what two thousand consecutive days of
dua lipa to work?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Yes, I get to a little bit, but I'm scared
because like they're like obviously experts, and I'm like, I
probably don't sound right to them.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
How many days is it now consecutively?

Speaker 3 (00:32):
I just hit I think one and sixty last night.
Well I was making up two thousand, but that's pretty close. Yeah,
on my way.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Are you fluent? Would you say?

Speaker 4 (00:41):
No?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
You learn? Like what is it? Like one word to day?
What is it? How does it?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
No, It's like different exercises, so like you do it's
like a five minute exercise every day and you speak some,
you have to type some, you like match stuff, so
it like it kind of gives you like different activities.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, oh Felici see yeah, key yeah see Miami.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I have no problem. I can tell you what's happening
right now today, at this moment. Do not ask me
what happened yesterday. Don't ask me what's going to happen tomorrow.
Don't ask me what's going to happen ayah, don't ask me.
Don't ask me that.

Speaker 5 (01:21):
You know.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm in the imperfect tense right now, and it's really hard.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm not perfect either, far from it. But I can
tell you which present tense we are all set? Yeah, yeah,
and after a couple of drinks, I can tell you more.
It's pretty amazing.

Speaker 6 (01:36):
Yeah, a couple of drinks. Yeah, I'm like.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
A sudden over here. Oh wow. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
I did teach my whole team my favorite word in Spanish,
which is saka puntas, which is a pencil sharpener.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
I didn't know that one, and I did come from
a generation of pencil sharpeners. Like way they had them
in the room. Did they have them in the room
still where they still left over from the olden days
in our in our day, I mean we didn't use
actual pencils, but they were still in there. You could
we use them only for standardized tests. You had to
use the number two pencil.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll go up.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
There was there ever another optional like going to the store,
would you ever find like.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
A number one pencil the other kind of pencil? Never
seen them. It was the right the lead was the number. Yeah,
and like the machine wouldn't read the letter. Yeah, it
had to be a certain kind of less yeah. Correct.
So it was like the wood in the wooden pens pencils, Well,
that's pencils are typically woulden typically, right, but you're talking
about like the mechanical pencils that's still number two.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Well you can get those in different but yeah, for
whatever reason, they didn't want to use those either. We
had to use a real pencil.

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
And on the scantron, Yeah, the bubble and scantron.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
I have bad ninemares of being in ta with the
scantron machine that we still used in two year, two
thousand and two or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
It was like, if you like.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Scan the first you scan like the master scan thing.
What do you know about grating scans?

Speaker 1 (02:57):
I worked? How do you think I passed some of them?
Were you a grade in your own test? I worked
in the I worked in the office, Yes, he did.
Who tried to do. Had they ever met you before?
They did not. Nobody was an assistant in the office
and had to grade the test.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah, I bet there are people listening. They don't even
know what this is. So there was a thing, and
it was the way that they could quickly grade test.
And it was like this this like card almost, and
you'd fill in the bubble like you'd have the paper
test they give you the test. You'd have the little
scantron next to it, which like a little strip, and
it would be like question number one, you know, what's
two plus two and then multiple choice and then you

(03:36):
you'd fill the bubble in for ABCD whatever it was,
and so to grade them. And that's like I was.
I was a TA in college. So like we'd have
a huge stack of the two hundred people in the class,
so we had this big sect and so we'd have
like a master one. So you put the first one
through was like all the right answers, and then you
put everybody else's through, and every now and again you
get like people who did really poorly on the test.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
And it would go and you could hear it market
and it would be like.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
And I'd be like, oh my god, that I put
the wrong one end test? Did I put the wrong
like master in? You know, because you because then you
put some through and it would be like like just
one wrong out of fifty and we'd be like, okay,
that person studied or whatever. But yeah, oh I have
my anxiety to stay about Scantron's.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Did you ever?

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Like I remember taking tests and someone told me at
one point and it became my full identity. Taking test
was like it's it's like seventy five percent of the
time at sea, So like if you don't know, just
mark C. And I remember like taking tests and be
like wow, yeah there was.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
That thing if you just put C for everything, you'll
get like a passing grade or that was a rumor
out like that's true.

Speaker 6 (04:35):
Well yeah it didn't work for me.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I guess statistically it would only be a quarter of
the time, right, yeah, I mean you know even yeah yeah,
oh Scantron just still used Someone just texted.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, well I mean is saying that as well. See
I didn't do the collating, is it colate? I didn't.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I didn't do the copying and like the stapling and
the organizing of that. Someone else did that. So there
was like this big cabinet in a locked room, and
you'd go in there and they were color coded, and
you'd like, when it was time for the test, it
was already in there, like some graduate student did that.
So then I would grab the big stack and take
them down there, and the professor was not there for
the like testing, so I don't know what test it was.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
I just give it up. It turns out one.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Week they miscolored and I gave out the like the
test that was to be given out later, like the
next test thing. So these kids are all looking at
it and finally somebody raises their hand, like one hundred
and fifty kids. They're like, I don't know, are you
sure this is right? And then I looked at it
and I'm like, I don't know, so I wouldn't got someone.
They're like, this isn't the right test. By that point, though,
several kids had taken the tests, and so we counted

(05:39):
them and we were like three short, which means we're
looking at one hundred and fifty people. Three people had
stolen the test. Oh wow, And so we're like, either
you can give it back to us, or they're going
to rewrite the whole test, like it's up to you
like it's not going to work, and no one would
fess up to stealing the tests, so like the professor
had to go and rewrite the whole test because I
think for a while they were just using the same

(05:59):
test for every class, every semester, every time.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Because I know we've talked about it before.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
If you were in a fraternity or sorority, oftentimes you
had what was called a test file, which was where
everybody would take their all their materials from whatever classes
and put them in like one organized area of the
fraternity house or sorority house, and then you could was cheating,
but essentially you could like say I'm taking you know,
doctor Smith, so and so one on one class. You'd

(06:24):
go and look up doctor Smith in the test file
and there'd just be this big stack of old tests
and old papers and old everything, old syllab whatever, and
so you and if the professor was lazy enough, then
they would just give you. They would just be the
same assignments over and over again every time, and you
already know what was coming.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
Well, that's useful.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, So people were stealing the test anyway. We had
to read then when I'm at the bar and some
drunk kids like, oh, I stole one of the desks.
I'm like, well, I mean, all I had to do
was create a lot of work for somebody, because there
was no way we could give the same test again
because somebody collated improperly.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
We can't have improper collation relation. Oh I'm probably not.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Even saying that word right, But it doesn't matter, Jason Brown.
Ladies and gentlemen, yes back from Miami. Seem no no
moi de fisiogo.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Oh boy.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Now, a couple of these games, like the Bears game,
I mean, oh my god, that was insane.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
Everybody knows you're supposed to bat the ball down. Everybody
know to the ground right now, here's what I will
say about that. If you watch the Bears Commanders game,
the hail Mary at the end into the end zone
from everyone saw the same thing I did. But from
what I saw, if they had done nothing and not
touched it, a receiver would have caught it. It would

(07:49):
have gone right to a receiver. So they had to
do something to deflect the ball to get it to
go in another direction.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
But at that point still it was so short of
the end zone. If he would have caught it. Yeah,
it could have tackled him right there at the two yards.
It was just barely short.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
So I don't know, I don't know that I wouldn't
have tried, but I mean, try and catch it maybe,
or like bat it away. I mean it's easy to
say now, right because like we in the moment, but
if you didn't see the game, it came down they
were down by five the Bears, or the Bears were
up by five, and like within the last thirty seconds
they did this, and the Commanders at the very last

(08:23):
play the game, zero zero zero on the clock, they
just chuck the ball fifty yards into the end zone
and a Bear player tips it in the air perfectly
for a Commanded player to catch it in the end zone,
score a touchdown, and win the game.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Sitting back there by himself, no one, no one guarding
the guy. He's having a bad day.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
Yeah, that poor guy man.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh yeah, he had a horrible game. M'sod just like
afterwards in the aftermath.

Speaker 5 (08:47):
Yeah, but it's like, I mean, the Bears deserve to
lose that game.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
They it was a horrible game for the Bears.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Jayden showed out the number two pick showed out the
number one pick didn't look so good with.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
His busts of ribs blah blah blah. Oh yeah, oh
that narrative.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, he's injured, but he's playing because he wants to
prove a point that he should have been taken number one.
And then he outplayed the number one and so yeah, anyway, Jason,
of course you these are all your thoughts. You were
recapping me this morning.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yeah, Jaden is wild. Yeah, here for that.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
So the Vikings had the Vikings over the Rams on Thursday,
not so much. You had the Jets over the Patriots. No,
you had the Packers over the Jags. Yes, you had
the Bucks over the Falcons. No, you had the Ravens
over the Browns. No, that was a surprising one. Yeah,
you should have gotten that one.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
I was shocked. So there's two that you probably should
have gotten.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
You probably should have gotten the Bears just based on
the weight all played out, and you probably should have
gotten the Ravens.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
But you didn't.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Lions over the Titans, that was a huge, the Colts
over the Texans. No, Eagles over the Bengals. Yes, Cardinals
over the Dolphins. Yes, which I didn't see that one coming.
Seahawks over the Bills. No Saints over the Chargers, No
Bears over the Commanders, No Chiefs over the Raiders. Yes,
Broncos over the Panthers. Yes, and for some reason, you

(10:04):
keep picking the Cowboys. I don't know when you're gonna
learn they're terrible. But you had the Cowboys over the
four nine Ers. No, sorry, Bella, that was the close
game to No why she won so you picked against
You picked against her and her team won. So six
and nine was your record? Six and well, I mean

(10:27):
maybe maybe that was what you were doing on purpose.
You could still get to seven and nine tonight, though
you have the Steelers over the Giants.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
I do like that pick.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
As for the par sleigh, Travis Kelcey did score on final. Yes,
you're acting surprise. I know you were staring at the
TV all week and you already knew that. Yeah, of course,
Canna Williams won't get the sack. Oh, he got the
sack and finance. Jalen Hurts will throw two end zones. No,
he threw one and ran for three, so he got

(10:56):
the A zone all right, But he didn't do it
the way you said he would. He ran it, so
they can't lose. Parslay was a loser. Shocking, unbelievable.

Speaker 6 (11:04):
God, I tried.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
Also, what you take on the World Series while we're
doing sports, Oh, what's your favorite team in the world?

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Actually saw it? Oh okay, yeah, as opposed to all
the NFL games.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Yeah, you actually saw it. I have to be a
LA fan. Why because everyone that I was surrounded by
all weekend was LA fans.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
That doesn't mean no, no, no, you don't why you
like New York. I mean in this particular case, and
I don't like New York, but I can't the Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
No, it's just too But they were also the ones
meat bumping, right, so like, why not?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Oh, I don't know the Dodgers National League? And then
this whole Tawny story and oh, mine's hurt too, paid
all the money, and then now they're going to win
the World Series.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
It looks like they did the right thing.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Yeah, it's the two teas they spend the most money
or in the World Series.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Shocking.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
But the Dodgers have taken a two nothing World Series lead,
and they head to New York for Game three tonight
in a commanding position with both momentum.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
And history on their side.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Wow, Uh, it would be if they win tonight, it
would be very very, very unlikely that they don't win
the World Series. What do you mean the cults are
down three to one? This would be three nothing. If
they win tonight, they'd be they would be up three
to nothing. I mean, so and it's I think these
statistics on that are not good. Did the Red Sox

(12:19):
do it? I think, yeah, the count did three to one. Yeah,
I know. I mean, I'm asking you and you already
know the answer. But yeah, anyway, McDonald's is offering their
quarter powders again after being ruled out as an e
coali source. The health officials are saying the number of E.
Coli cases linked to McDonald's is up to seventy five.
The outbreak has impacted people in thirteen states and led
to twenty two hospitalizations. One person died in Colorado. They've

(12:42):
removed its quarter pounder from the menu at a fifth
of its locations in response to the outbreak, but says
that it wire zoom sales after testing ruled out the
beef patties as the source of the outbreak. The onions
served with the burgers have been identified as the source
are the different kind of I heard this is a
different kind of onion.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
So the cheeseburgers have the u the smallest sandwiches have
the dehydrated onions. For the little the little dice de
mince ones, and you rehydrate them. Yeah, you pull water
really Yeah, you come in a bag and you to
pull water in them and then they can be rehydrate them.
And then like the quarter pounders, like so the big
mac has the small onions and the quarter pounder has
like the sliced onions, like real onions whatever.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Yeah, those are dehydrated.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yeah, so the hamburgers, cheeseburgers, anything that has a small
paddy has the delivered onions.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
That's what the ticket always says.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's the big onions. That's the quarter pounder. Yeah, that's
the one they're worried about. It, got it.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I always get no onions. Yeah, I don't need to know,
Like this doesn't do anything for anything. I've been eating
those those little cheeseburgers for like my whole life. Yeah,
I always get the I don't think it's the number
two anymore. Is it still two cheeseburger meal? I don't
think it changed it up. You can still get it
number two. That's what I always get and it never
bothered me. But now in my head for some reason,
that's weird. They're dried and they put water on them,
and then now they give them to you that I

(13:55):
thought they were like fresh onions. No, just the who
they use fresh beef now for.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
So yeah supposedly so anyway, I don't know. I didn't
need to know that.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
I never seen no one back there chopping no onions.
That's all I want to say. When I'm looking for
the for the big ones, they do they have the slicer. Yeah,
I didn't need to see them. Oh, this is why,
you guys, here's another story about food poisoning. This is
why I don't eat at the potlucks. Well I don't
attend them either, but the real at homes exactly, but

(14:28):
I don't eat.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I don't eat. Have you ever been to someone's home before?

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Like, no, because like a lot of people live, you know,
looking very clean, very put together. It looks like sanitary stuff.
But if you ever been to someone's house, you're like,
this gets kind of gross.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Here.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
These are the people bringing food in for the potluck, right,
and I know it's all well intentioned and it's like
sharing in holiday and whatever. But I don't trust people's houses.
I mean, people do stuff at their homes and then
they don't clean it. And people call up here all
the time and tell us the stuff they do, and
I don't whatever. Forty six people in Maryland were hospitalized
with food poisoning after eating a noodle dish a coworker

(15:05):
brought to their job. Paramedics had to be called to
the workplace after about an hour after these employees ate
the food. All forty six people who ate the food
were taken to the hospital, all of them in non
critical condition. The company has since changed their policy to
not allow employees to bring in any outside food.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
If you're getting sick from a noodle dish, like that's bad,
Like what if there wasn't meating there?

Speaker 1 (15:25):
They're like, you'd really have to mess something up.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
I mean, what is going on at that house? I
was like sabotage to mean, what's nuclear factory? Are they
making this stuff in?

Speaker 1 (15:33):
There's a saboteur?

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, But look, I mean people, I don't know. People
allow all kinds of things in their homes that you
don't know about, and then you go to the potlunk
and you're eating. You're basically eating off forty six people's counters.
Think about this. You have no idea how clean or
not clean it.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Is, pets.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
I'm telling you I don't like it. And this is
why here's another day and another reason to make fun
of gen Z. I guess I'm not doing it. I'm
just telling you what the headline says. Young people are
balking at becoming managers. Gen Z doesn't want the stress
of becoming a manager, so this is what the story says.
Young professionals don't want to become bosses, and according to

(16:12):
the latest research from a headhunting and recruitment company, they
found that fifty two percent of individuals in the gen
Z demographic born between ninety seven and twenty twelve have
zero desire to become middle managers. One researchers said, it's
not that gen Z doesn't respect leadership, it's that they
associate management with stress, limited autonomy, and poor work life balance,

(16:32):
so they don't want to be the boss. The majority,
eighty nine percent of employers feel that middle managers are
critical to their businesses. Nearly three quarters of gen z
as would choose an individual route to progression, focusing on
their own growth and personal skills rather than having to
handle other employees. So they don't want to be part
of a team. They just want to are on to
worry about me and then give me a raise and

(16:54):
all this stuff. I don't want more responsibility. That's what
this is saying. Do we agree with this?

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Good for them? It's very smart, gen zod is it?
How is that going to work? Like people have to
lead other people, both kinds of people, Like, like, it's
okay to have both, but we can't have all of
one kind.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Not everybody could just be autonomous and just just do
whatever they want, and you know, like somebody has to
organize all those people.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
I mean they've seen they've seen people doing it, you
know what I'm saying. The gen z C like, you know, their.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Parents, people like me that have responsibility like me when you.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Be you like, they've seen their parents in the same
position for how many years?

Speaker 1 (17:31):
You know what I'm saying. Like they grew up watching
it firsthand.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
So it's just like, why why be a manager when
when they don't even say their job for two years?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
They actually I see this, I feel this, I really
do part of The reason I got into this job
is because you could be like semi nomadic. And for
the longest time, it was just me. Before I had
a show, it was just me. I came in, I
did five hours, I left.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Like that was it. I just sorry, no, no, no,
it just worked out way better.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
But the part they don't teach, clearly they don't teach
people like me, is how to lead.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
They don't. They don't teach that.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
You know what I mean, Because now I got this team,
I got a hundred of you, and I love you
all deeply, but I don't know how to motivate any
I don't know how to do that. When you look
at me, you don't think there's there is art fearless
You might think you might think fearless. You might also
be stupid, but I don't think you necessarily think there's
captain positivity.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
He's raw, raw, rally the team. It's got to be
hard to be a manager. But I'm technically not a manager.
Jason is, though. He's got to be hard.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
And I'm willing to bet if you ask anyone that
I quote unquote manage, if they would want my job,
I guarantee you they all say, Now.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Like what it does to me. They don't want to
grow lost their way to the top.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
And I get it, Like I see, especially when they
see the pay is probably.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Like not what they thought, you know, So I get it.

Speaker 2 (18:46):
What the people that make a lot of money typically
you know, have people working quote unquote for them. Typically
not always, but sometimes what cost.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 6 (18:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I'm not a.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Manager, I'm the ware in your salary. Managers.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
And a New Jersey woman soon Jet Blue over an
ice cream sandwich that she claims was dangerously cold. Oh well,
on a flight from New York to Paris. So the
woman said that she wasn't told that the ice cream
that she was served was frozen solid and chipped one
of her teeth when she bit into it. After landing
in Paris, the one had to have emergency tooth extraction,

(19:20):
an implant, and then continuing care. She's demanding money and
the Jet Blue pay all of her court costs. They
haven't commented on this lawsuit. I mean, when they handed
you the sandwich and you felt it and you unwrapped it,
I hope you unwrapped it, you know. Maybe maybe this
person didn't. I'm not sure. But unwrapped it.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I mean, at what point were you like, boy, this
is firm, you know, like I'm going to put this
in my mouth and then how hard did you bite
on it? You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (19:50):
But you know what I mean, like, how hard do
you have to bite on something before you're like, h
I don't think I'm going to get through this to
the point of breaking my own teeth. Why are we
not responsible for what we're putting in our mouths? Hell?
Save that audio too well. I mean I don't, I don't.
I just it was handed to you. It's cold, it's hard,

(20:12):
rock solid.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I guess I don't have a whole lot of sympathym so,
I mean, mouth pain is terrible, you know, teeth related
pain is terrible, and I'm sorry that happened to you,
But like what, it's not like the coffee that was
handed to you and you didn't know the lid was
on it. Remember that whole McDonald's lost suit. And that's
a different situation, because you know, I guess when someone
hands me coffee, I mean I checked the lid, but like,

(20:34):
I don't know if you didn't hand me, if the
coffee was like way too hot and the lid wasn't properly.
Then it goes all over me like that. I don't
really have as much control over that, but there was
there was a lot of thinking that could have been
done here between when you handed me the ice cream
sandwich and when I cracked my teeth.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
No, your fault, not mine. This person doesn't.

Speaker 2 (20:54):

to the bathroom, and then she just never came back.

(22:10):

wouldn't have any idea, like this is where I improve,
I need to become better.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
You already fight with me, and I'm on your side.
I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (22:53):

a little while, and I'm like, did I just get left?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
And I've never been left?

Speaker 2 (22:58):
Knock on wood, but I mean that would be really
I've thought about how would I get out of that?
Like how do you What did you say to the server,
like oh, I don't know she had an emergency, or
like what did you do?

Speaker 1 (23:09):
How do you get out of that?

You planned a date, you went on this date, and

(24:02):
at some point during the date she got up to
go to the bathroom and never came back. You don't
know where she went. You don't know what happened. You
don't know what you may or may not have done,
and you can't get a hold of her since then.
And you are obviously bothered by this, as most people
would be. It's bugging you. You want to know what happened.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
All right, let's call her now. Good luck, Tom, Thanks, Hello,
Hi is this Aaron? Yes, Aaron, Hi eron, good morning.
My name is Fred. I'm calling for the Fred Show,
the morning radio show, and I have to tell you
that we are on the radio right now and I
do need your permission to continue with the call. He said, okay,

(24:43):
if we ch have for just a second on the show.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Oh goodness, okay, sure, thank you very much.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
I know it's kind of startling, but we're calling on
behalf of a guy who says that he recently took
you out on a date.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
His name is Tom. Do you remember Tom?

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (24:58):
I remember Tom?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Okay, So what happened?

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Because he called us and told us that he had
matagined with you on a dating app and that he
liked you and was excited about it, and that you
went on this date. He says you left him at
the date. You said you were going to the bathroom.
You left, and he hasn't been able to get ahold
of you. We didn't have any trouble getting ahold of you.
So what happened? What's your side of the story.

Speaker 7 (25:20):
So, yeah, Tom and I we met on hinge and
we chatted for a bit and he seemed real cool,
and you know, he offered me to go on a
date and I said no, what Charlotte's do it, and
I made the dumb mistake of like accepting a ride
from him to pick me up, which you know, red
flag number one. I shouldn't let somebody know where I live.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
That's on me.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
But you know, he on the way to the restaurant,
some guy cut us off, and Tom got so unbelievably angry.
He rolled down the window like he reached into like
his cup holder for like luc chane and started chucking
it at the car, and like was hunting and screaming,

(26:05):
and I was honestly terrifying.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
This sounds a little bit like we saw just a
glimpse of this a minute ago, a tiny little glimpse
of this. So this man has some manger management issues,
you're saying.

Speaker 7 (26:17):
I mean, clearly, I was so scared sitting next to
somebody acting like that.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I it was not.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
I just as soon as he got to the restaurant,
was like I got see and I dipped.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
I was.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
I was petrified because you're worried, like this guy got
so mad, he had so much road rage, you know,
like what's next with it? What if we get in
a fight or something. You were worried. Let me bring
Tom in. I forgot to mention that Thomas here, I'm
very forgetful.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Tom.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
You failed to mention the road rage in the car
on the way there. You left that part out.

Speaker 6 (26:46):
I didn't even think about it because, uh, I don't.
I don't think it was that bad. Maybe maybe I
got a little road rage.

Speaker 8 (26:53):
Sometimes everybody gets gets a little road rage sometimes.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
I mean even think it was that big of a deal.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Tom, this must have been really bad, because yeah, I
think you're right, people get frustrated on the roads.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
But it was so bad that she didn't.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I mean, she couldn't get out of the date fast enough,
like she was concerned about her well being.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
You were throwing change at someone else's car, would have
been like you could get shot, bro right, you.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
Know when you drive like it then I'm I'm just
doing the trying.

Speaker 8 (27:23):
To help everybody else on the road by correcting that
really awful behavior.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Look at this man, This what I'm doing right.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
Now because Aaron's not calling me back and and red
flag for me to pick you up from your house.
I'm trying to be nice.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
I'm trying to do is just be nice this entire time,
and now I'm getting accused of having a needing anger management.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I feel like he's unraveling right now. Yeah, watch out, Yeah,
I'm downtown.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, it's okay, like I mean, but I can hear it,
like I I heard it in the first part, and
I can hear it right now.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I can hear you ramping.

Speaker 7 (27:55):
Up, honestly, like, I truly regret letting you know where
I live.

Speaker 4 (27:59):
It's just kind of he was just temmy.

Speaker 7 (28:01):
You're very frightening, like you don't even your eyes like
gloss over, Like you don't look like you're you're very
scary gloss over.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
I'm driving, okay, I'm keeping an eye out.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
On the road.

Speaker 6 (28:12):
It's all over the road. The traffic in the city
is crazy. I'm trying to keep us safe.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I don't I don't feel safe. Change your number.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
We're changing our listening to the Showing Glass.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's uh, you know what, I'm.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
Never listening to the show again. Okay, So how about that?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Yeah, that we were trying to help you and now
you're yelling at us. And for some reason, I'm smiling.
I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I probably shouldn't be. I need someone to escort me
to my car.

Speaker 5 (28:38):
I apologize to this man for cutting him off the
other day.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
I mean you you always do stuff and then you
say sorry out loud in the cars if the people
can hear it. She says she was sorry, waved, I waved,
I gave the waves.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Okay, hey, look Tom, you scared her. I don't know,
you're scaring us a little bit. I can definitely hear
it in you, the propensity to get a little bit upset.
And the fact is she doesn't know you, and she
doesn't know if this is how you deal with everything,
or just stress on the road, or if you were nervous.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
She doesn't know.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
And you got to understand that that would be frightening
to a lot of people, and they probably try and
get out of that situation.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Well, I hope you.

Speaker 8 (29:16):
I hope you accept that I was just maybe having
a bad day and not really not that.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Bad of a guy.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
All right, Well, see you hear that, Aaron, he was
just having a bad day. He's not that bad of
a guy, says him. So there you go, yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 6 (29:28):
Eron.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Okay, all right, buddy, you know what's all. I can't
help you.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
I mean I don't really want to help you, but
I can't even if I tried, so Aaron, I won't
even ask the question. I'm sorry this happened to you,
and I don't blame you for not wanting to go
out with him again. And Tom, take a deep breath, man,
like you can't act like this, I don't. I don't
know if you're a crazy person or you just are
nervous or anxious. I really don't know, but you can't
act like this in front of people.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
I except, you're right now, you're right, you're right, you're right,
you're right. Okay, would you mind asking her the question?
Mind asking her the question? I called him here for
you to ask her for a second, you mind ask
her for the question?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I don't think. Yeah, I don't think I need to
ask the question. I think that I think it's kind
of established.

Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yeah, we're not letting her.

Speaker 2 (30:10):
Yeah, yeah, Aaron, even if you did want to go
out with him, and I know you don't, you're not,
so we're not.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
How about that? So that Hey, I just asked her
the answers. No, Tom, you know what? Tom?

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Friend friend? Anyway?

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Thanks?

Speaker 7 (30:25):
All right?

Speaker 1 (30:26):
You with me?

Speaker 4 (30:26):
Tom? Great?

Speaker 1 (30:28):
I don't know what's wrong with these people. You are
a great man. You drive great man.
