The NFL playoffs over the weekend. So we got the
Bills over the Ravens, the Eagles over the Rams, the
Chiefs over the Texans, and the Commanders over the last.
I said quietly, I was hoping, Kaylen didn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh, I heard it. I saw it. Rangos over here, Kaylen.
Everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's not but we're used to this, so that's okay.

really does. Understatement, I've cried over two I think twice.
I've cried over once one tears of joy that was
the Cubs World Series, and then I cried twice. Yeah,
how was Nana enjoy the experience? I saw you brought
her to the bar in an urn.
Speaker 6 (00:54):
I did take her, and this woman sitting next to

It's his ninetieth birthday. We met up. You know, we're
celebrating tonight and.

and she went and signed the cross. So you know,
I scared the crap out of a woman. If that's you,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But she did not enjoy the experience, just like her granddaughter.
So we we walked home and you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Did you if somebody was asking me?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
They actually like texted me who saw your story and
was like, hey, is that thing permanently sealed or like
can you be cause you really did bring an urn
to the bar and you have before I did, because
Nana's in there, so it's it's like sealed, it can't open.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, Jeff got her sealed for me.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Yeah, okay, which is important because.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
I had to.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
I brought a bag this time to be like safe.
But I do need a custom earned care carrier if
anyone can I see make that for me, put.

Like a crossbody some kind of like crossbody earned carrier.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, she is sealed though, Okay, we're good on that.
But yeah, people were cheersing her and stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yeah, people were worried about it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
They were texting me going, hey, it's like does she
know like the thing could open and the Nana's kind
of all over the floor of the bar.
Speaker 7 (01:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No, not a good thing. Donald J.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Trump once again the president. And that is your political
news of the day. Ohio State won their first national
title since twenty fourteen, defeating Notre Dame last night thirty
four to twenty three.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I know you knew that, Jason thoughts on the game. Good,
I don't like Notre Dame. Hot take? Were you like
Ohio State? Yes? Oh boy? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And Ben Johnson has apparently agreed to become the Chicago
bears next head coach. That was It's been kind of
floating around. I don't know if anyone's confirmed it, but
that's what Adam Schefter sanging. And Adam Schefter from ESPN
seems to know everything, as you know.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Oh yeah, I mean Adam, I think it's confirmed from
having a boyfriend that works in stupid sports.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, yeah, I mean everyone's saying it, it's done, But
I don't think the Bears have come out and said,
like we hired this guy.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Here you go, everyone, why would it be done as
he bad or something?
Speaker 8 (02:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Done done, done done.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Don But he's coming from the Lions, so.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That yeah, Too're not gonna have any coaches except for
Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell didn't have to coach everything himself,
which he can do. The guy consumes enough caffeine. He's
fully capable of it. Yeah he is. He's been the
Lions offensive coordinated for the past three seasons and he
is arguably the most coveted coach available right now.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So you've got that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But anyway, how many which of these teams did you pick, Jason,
because I don't remember which ones you picked in which
one Bella picked.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't remember who played? You had the Lions, right, yeah, Lions.
Speaker 9 (03:28):
He picked the Chiefs and the Chiefs obviously, the Rams
and the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So you you only won one? You went one?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, I know, you're really really off, right you off?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And then.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Our intern who wants to be a sports broadcaster, she
picked some of the other ones, or does she also
do poorly?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
She picked the Chiefs, the Lions, the Eagles, and the Bills.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, she got she got more rights.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
That made it better.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
She walked into the Capitol rotunda after President Trump was
sworn in on Monday, microphone in hand, ready to sing
America the Beautiful However, there was no music to go
with it, so they all just kind of stood there
for a while, and then I guess finally somebody told her, like, hey,
it's not gonna be new music. So she's sang at
acapella and they're really good. Job, yeah, which it has
to be hard, and she was expecting, you know, the
music backing, and then when that doesn't come, like what
(04:22):
do you do? Like never mind? But no, she has
that voice. Some people that would have been very dangerous.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
I would have pooped my pants, like me too, Okay, uh,
I don't know what I'm gonna do now.
Speaker 9 (04:32):
I would have forgot the lyrics even though like even
though you like, you know, I shut up, Jason, you
know a song like you know, you know a song
like I know the national anthem, you know, like I
know that, But in that moment with the music that
I mean that, I would have completely blanked out.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You know, ye'll just take yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Out, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I would play the music for you, and I'd love
to hear your rendition. But I'm almost I'm almost afraid.
I'm almost afraid of what might actually happen if we
did that. So I'm just gonna say you know it
and it would be beautiful.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yes, right now.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The music does which one? Are we singing? America? The
beautiful Nessie? I never said I knew that one. I
said I knew the national anthem? Okay, I just feel
like America.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Which is not pledge. You know that's a different one.
Oh yeah, yeah, but you know the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yes? Oh say?
Speaker 9 (05:27):
We can you see by the downs early like so
proudly we hel at the twilight's last gleaming whose brush
stripes and bright stars through the peril this fight for
the ramparts we'd watch were so gallantly streaming, and the
rockets red glare boom, The birds bursting in air, birds
(05:47):
birds bombs bursting in areas gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there? Old say, does that
spangled banner still glare?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That's right, it's not I'm binger confusing me.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Listen Listening to protect my.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Girl was right, new Executive Order playing.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I wish we could get stuff done that fast around here.
My god, it was ten things so quick, right, unstoppable.
I have things I want to get done around here.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We probably could have slipped a few ends. Nobody would
have known.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Sign on that pant.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
There were enough of them, okay, gave.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Proof of the night.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
The flag's still there, O say, does that stars thank
spangled way?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yet waved on looking it up?
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Oh doth for the Land of the Free and the
Home of the sound like idiots?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm no, I'm like talking and trying to find the
lyrics at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, I do normally sing it once a day, so well, I.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Know, rise and put our hands over our hearts, and
then we look at the flag that we have hanging
in the studio, and then we do.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
But we're more of a pledge of allegiance. Crew.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
You didn't take your beanie off this morning, though I
was ta annoyed at you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I always the beanie. I come on, the beatie was
over my heart. You know what I mean, hair straight up.
I don't care. It's patriotism once in a generation. Winter
storm is sweeping through the South with bone chilling temperatures
and potentially historic snowfall. The governors of Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
and Mississippi of declared states of emergency. Texas authorities have
directed state agencies to mobilize resources to the threat of
(07:22):
heavy snow. More than two hundred and twenty million people
across forty states are affected by bitterly cold air, with
the upper Midwest and northern plains likely to experience windshield
temperatures as low as fifty five degrees below zero this
week fifty five below. Also, as you may have encountered
over the weekends, TikTok went away and then it came back.
I called Shenanigans. I told you, yes on this program
(07:46):
right here.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yes, you did. You predict it like you knew that
you knew. And there are so many conspiracy theories about this.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Oh yeah, they switch servers, that it was all a ploy,
that there's all kinds of weird stuff going on.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
But you say we're only getting half of it though,
or something didn't I read that he was like, okay,
you have TikTok, but you only have half of it,
or like he was going.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
To change it or something.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's the deal he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay, Well, no, he wants to sell half of it,
so he wants the United States to buy fifty percent
of it. Okay, so that he thinks that, well, all
of a sudden, everyone's position on this has changed. Why
you don't ful ja made in China, and they could
probably you know, there's a lot of ways, and only
kids use TikTok. I'm like, yeah, only kids, It's exactly right.
But they have signed an executive action the DeLay's enforcement
(08:31):
of the TikTok band for seventy five days. I just
thought it was sus that the very first thing you
see when it comes back, the very first thing. Oh yeah, well,
thank you to the president president message.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
Elect though he wasn't even president yet, right technically until
yesterday today, I had the message Okay, so what is
an elect president elect doing so quickly and so effectively?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Sorry my so sign But he wasn't even in office
yet and we're already thanking him. Do you get what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
But I don't even know that I've ever seen a
business reopen, except for except for what was that place
called the Four Seasons air Conditioning place in Philadelphia. I
remember the last cycle where they thought they were having
it at the ballroom of a hotel, but it was
really out in front of a like a car wash
or something whatever there. Yeah, but I don't think I've
ever seen that before, where a business reopens and the
(09:18):
very first statement is thanks to the President.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's like, huh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
A Starbucks employee in Mobile, Alabama, required stitches and vaccinations
last week after a customer's pet monkey leaped into a
service window, ran up her arm to her head, and
then began biting her. The attack reportedly ended with a
coworker with a coworker grabbing the animal and threw it
out of the drive through window. The employee the monkey attack,
who asked that she remained unnamed, sustained BikeE marks to
(09:46):
her hands and a laceration in her ear, which required stitches.
The owner of the animal could face charges and what
could possibly go wrong here? But a Florida woman was
hiding drugs in a bag labeled definitely not a bag
full of drugs. This is a real story and she
was arrested after being released from jail ten days earlier
(10:07):
for drug charges. The Brevard County I think I said
that right deputy and her canine partner conducted a traffic stop,
searched the car, found a few.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Bags of drugs.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Drugs, including one with the slogan printed on the front
of it, methanphetamine, needles, narcam, digital scales, small baggies, cut straws,
other drug paraphernalia. So I would recommend that you label
that stuff something different other than definitely not a bag
full of drugs. It would appear that she's spelled definitely
right though, which is the most important part, because that's
(10:39):
a hard word to spell.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I can't even sell me.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I have a hard time saying definitely gonna be pulling. Yeah,
I don't know why. It's hard for me. And participation
is a hard word for me to say too. It's
national What is this?
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
No, I know this is that stuff that they have
the commercials.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
For Hya Ironiconic.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I said, yeah, I saw that lady talking about it. Yeah,
from that House Live show, remember that?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Remember the Desperate House I remember how wild people were
for that show.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Anyway, it's that squirrel Appreciation Day, and it's also National
Hugging Day today as well. But I guess we need
to ask for concept before we hug people. So like,
let's make sure, okay, thank you, and it's squirrel Day
not random monkey at the Starbucks Day. The Entertainment reports.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Next Fred's show is on, It's Stay or Go, Diego
is here? Diego? Good morning, Good morning, diego.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So it's group therapy and you get what you pay for,
which in this case it's free. So just keep that
in mind before you make any like life altering decisions.
But what's going on with this is your girlfriend we're
talking about today?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, that's right. So what's going on?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Well, me and my girlfriend have been together for like
two years, and honestly, I've been contemplating for posing.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay, wow, you want to do that? You say you
want to do that? Is that the whole? Is that
the whole?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Call?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Well no, I say, you know, you can live a
very nice life without somebody else. But no, that's not
that's not the dilemma, right, you're thinking about proposing. I'm
very happy for you that you found someone, Yes, okay,
well yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
But the thing is I'm Mexican and my parents they
don't really speak English, and my older sisters don't really
speak English either. So I was having a conversation with
my girlfriend, the one I'm thinking about proposing to, and
not the other.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Girlfriend, right, yeah, as opposed to the others.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I can see how this is a dilemma already.
So you're talking to your girlfriend about this.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Well, I was encouraging her to learn Spanish so she
can like communicate with my family and you know when
we take trips to Mexico in the future that I'm
thinking of, you know, that she would be able to
talk to my you know, my mom and and all
of that. But she said no, like she wasn't even
(13:13):
open to it at all, Like she didn't say, oh,
maybe or or yeah, I could you know, learn a
little bit, Like she was just like, no, she doesn't
have time to learn another language, and you know, just
saying that my family should be, you know, able to
learn English as well, like you know, I've learned English.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
So so that's her solution. Her thing is, I realize
I'm potentially marrying into a family uh who speaks another
language primarily. And her official position is I have no
interest in ever understanding anything they're saying about because I honestly,
selfishly I think I would want to learn whatever language
(13:53):
as best as I could, so I could realize, no,
if you were talking.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
About me, right, yes, number one, I want to know.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I'm sitting at the table, you know, and you all
saying like this dude is a chump, and I don't
know why you're marrying him, and look you don't even
speak our language. And then then what I would love
to be able to do in my fantasy is go
ro rare country, oh you know, and then and then
tell them what I think. But look at this Jason Brown.
I mean he's been on dua lipa now for what
a year?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah? Well more than that. I started in twenty twenty. Okay,
so four five years five?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Have you ever broken your streak?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Yeah, there's some freezes, like if I'm too any created
one night, but that's okay, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You've learned a lot, like you're really really good. Yeah,
it wouldn't be that hard for this woman to learn
some I mean, I think it would be endearing if
she'd learn some stuff. I mean, I don't think you're
asking her to be fluent, are you?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
No?
Speaker 8 (14:45):
I mean, and and yeah, that's that's how I feel.
I mean, honestly, I'm just turned off by her response.
And that's when I started questioning thing. I don't know
if I'm asking too much here, if it's just learning something.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not at all? Of course.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
And my for example, my stepdad did not speak any Polish,
and my mom is Polish. My grandma doesn't say anything
in English. Besides hello, So when when she came here,
I mean, hello, Grandma saying hello so like it's the
cutest thing ever. But like when she was here, when
she would come visit, and you know, they would have
to like eat at the table together, like he would try,
(15:20):
and I think I was like, he didn't do well,
but he tried, was the.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Point, you see, right, And that probably went a long
way to this woman who is like, Wow, this dude
cares enough exactly try and you know, figure something out.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Plus, like, if you guys have kids, I'm curious, diego,
are you guys going to teach them Spanish or do
you want to?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'm assuming yes, But what do you guys want to do?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh? Absolutely?
Speaker 8 (15:42):
I mean I we haven't talked about kids really to
be honest, but I obviously would want any children, yeah,
to be able to speak both languages.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Period, I would think, And that would look good not
only to your family the effort at least, but then
also the buy in on your culture and your upbringing
and your family for the kids that you guys might
have at some point, because you know, again, what if
they're looking at mom and Mom's like, I don't know
what they're saying, and I don't care, well, then what
is their incentive to learn? You know, if mom's at
(16:14):
least trying, I just I feel like she.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I feel like this is something that's not that hard
to say.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I'll try, right, you know, Like again, no one's asking
you to be a Spanish professor in a year or something.
You know, no one's asking you to like go work
at Telemundo, deliver the news every night or whatever to
to you know, native Spanish speakers, Like I don't know,
dieg let me take some phone calls on this, and
I would love to know what people have to say,
if they've been through this before.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I'm just going around the room here, I gotta say,
do we all agree? Like I think it's kind of
messed up?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I think so.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
And another thing too, is like not only like great
is it effort, but like I feel like there's no
there's nothing bat will come out of this for learning
another language. All he's trying to And like the only
thing I would say on the flip side is maybe
because I suffer with this in my Spanish is like
I'm shy, I'm gonna say words wrong, right, So if
I conversate with you, and you know you're obviously flu
when you're saying this, I might feel a little silly
(17:06):
because I'm like, oh, I can't say that word correctly.
It comes off like, you know, I don't have the accent.
But you know what I learned from my mom. My
mom did to speak English coming into this country. And
guess what, every day she still gets up and tries,
you know, and she speaks obviously way better English today
than thirty years ago, but you know she still says
words wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You are Polish in Mexico, correct, And I mean, and
I don't want to tell you a story, but I
would say that the Polish aspect of your life was
more embraced simply because that was the presence, right, because
your mom was around.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
So I only grew up with my mother, right, So then,
so that was.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sort of the emphasis, right, was the Polish learning Polish
and whatever. And then you decided to sort of like
explore the other part of this on your own, and
then you wind up marrying into in a Hispanic family.
So now it's like, and I know that you have
some insecurity about this too, don't you, like, cause it's like, well,
this is part of me, but I don't really know
anything about it and I'm trying to learn. But yet
(17:59):
these people this is like what they know. And so yeah,
and so you kind of I'm sure you feel like
a little left out.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
Yeah, well, thank you for acknowledging that, because that is
like a huge thing for me personally as a mixed person.
But also I know a lot of even Mexican Americans
go through that. Who you know, we're born here who
don't speak Spanish because they weren't taught that whatever reason
that might be, right, your parents didn't want to teach you,
and they had their reasons. So I can't blame a
lot of people. But a lot of times it's like
your own community too, coming after you, right, it's like, oh,
you're a Nosamo kid. It's like, yeah, I am, because
(18:26):
I wasn't taught that by a parent. Like that's something
that was out of my control. So as an adult,
you know, what is in my control is picking up
Dualipa like Jason, yeah, and learning you know, And I
was always surrounded by Spanish speakers in high school, Like
my high school was ninety a percent Hispanic speaking, you know,
her Spanish speaking so Hispanic, you know, students. So I
was able to like kind of pick that up a
little bit too. So like that, I know I'm lucky
for but I still struggle with it.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I want to be the odd person out either. I mean,
let's just okay, So let's say this woman Diego doesn't
care about your culture, he doesn't care about your language,
doesn't care about your family or or ingratiating herself with them.
I wouldn't want to be sitting in the room and
having no idea what my kids and everybody else talking about.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
So so even if it's selfish, I guess I would
make the effort so that I wasn't shunned. But let
me take some calls Diego, I have the radio on
a good luck thanks for calling dump. Yeah, I think
she's I don't. I don't like it. It seems very selfish.
I mean, again, you're not asking her. It's not like
you're saying I need you to go. I need you
to be fluent, I need you to know past participle,
(19:26):
and I need you to be I need you know
all the irregulars and the Yeah, because again I took
Spanish for twelve years, and I can tell with a
little bit of if I go to Mexico, you know,
and I sort of hear it a little bit. I
can tell you what's happening right now. Okay, I can
tell you what's happening right now. Do not ask me
what happened yesterday. Don't ask me what's going to happen tomorrow.
(19:47):
We don't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I don't know what used to happen. What I know
is what's right in front of me. Do you're not, No,
don't ask me that. Hello, Bridget, how you doing it?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Is for jet?
Speaker 11 (20:06):
Good morning?
Speaker 12 (20:07):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Let me go?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Thanks for calling and thank you. So Diego just called.
If you just tuning in.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And he's thinking about marrying this woman, but his whole
family speaks Spanish primarily, and he's like, hey, would you
would you learn some words so maybe you can, I
don't know, make them feel comfortable, make them feel like
you care kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And she said, no, I won't do it. What do
you think?
Speaker 12 (20:28):
Yeah, I think it's time to go. When somebody shows
you who they are and the effort they're willing to
put in or not put in believe them the first time.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, what I've seen videos on TikTok of like
men or women learning entire speeches in another language to recite,
Like they'll take a year worth of classes to learn
how to give their wedding speech at the wedding in
the native language. And even though it's not good or
they stumble all over it or they're nervous or whatever.
(20:56):
It's like I've seen, you know, the people who it's
affecting are the people who being done for, Like they
they're so emotional because like this dude cared enough to
go take Russian you know what I'm saying, like or
something really difficult to be able to do this for
me on this day.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I think it really goes along the way.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
To show that you care about somebody's family. Yes, he's
not asking for much, he's asking just to try. Like
you said, he's not asking for Telemundo level speaking, no,
asking for trying.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I agree. Thank you, Richie, have a great day, Thanks
for listening. Thank you you too, appreciate you. That's a
good point.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
And also to like someone kind of texted this in
and I thought it was a valid point. It's like yeah,
like the language is part of your culture, but like
there's more to that, like if they do have kids
or whatever, right, and like she's going to be around
like the family like like that that's the culture is
a lifestyle, you know what I mean. So like the food,
the music, all of that, it all ties into the language.
So I think it's all important if you're going to
marry to that family to embrace all of it.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
My hot tache.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, and we know people well vellahemine didn't become she didn't.
She didn't become Jewish for her husband, but it was
a part of him, and she did it for herself
and for him, you know. But like I know people
who have gone all the way they've they've become Jewish,
they've become you know, Christians, are born again or whatever
it is, because they knew how important that was to
(22:09):
their partner. And he's not asking for that. He's asking
you to, like get on YouTube and learn a couple
of words. Hey, Angel, how you doing, good morning? Thanks
for Colin.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
What do you think?
Speaker 13 (22:20):
Well, I think, you know, as Mexican, you needs to
he needs to let her go. I mean he's not
he's not asking too much it's just kind of making
a little effort. I just said, you know, she's not
gonna make a speech, do a speech or something like that.
It just kind of have something to stay with his family.
And she's not willing to make that when you know
(22:45):
she's dating him in the first place. She knows his blackphone.
I mean, she's not she's getting into so she needs
he needs to let her go.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
I'm serious, and.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
The whole like they should learn English stuff.
Speaker 13 (22:56):
It's like, no, And I bet she's didn't love the
Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Right, she likes some of it, and I'm like the
other parts of it.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's not how this works. I think it's it's for me.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
It's not even the fact that she didn't come to
this conclusion on her own. It's the hard no, which
which I think Tory is about to talk about to
thank you so much for Colin.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Have a great day, Amiga.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That's about as far as I can go with that, Toy, Hello, toy.
We're on the same page here, Like why the hard
no is so fast? Like not even let me think
about that?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Right?
Speaker 11 (23:40):
And I teach in a primary a school where people
primarily speak Spanish, and I'm not fluent, and I feel
so uncomfortable where I'm trying to learn Spanish. So at
least I have like an idea and I can try.
And so it's so bizarre that you would just be
in a family where you would have no idea how
to communicate with them.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah. Yeah, he's asking for much. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Sorry, have a great day, you too, Glad you called.
Thank you for listening.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Miguel. Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
I love your show.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Hey man, thank you so much, you say, go.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Yeah, so, I mean I'm in the same file of relationship.
I'm Mexican and my wife is white. You know, when
we started dating, she came outund the family. They do
speak English, but you know, a lot of the conversation
does go to Spanish. She tried to pick it up.
She's doing to do a linga to uh, to try
to learn just what thought he would be asked, it's
the effort that you want to put in the relationship.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, hard.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
No, I don't want to put any effort into it
and just doesn't want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, I don't think it's that hard. Thank you, Miguel.
Have a great day, and good for her. Yes, yeah,
take care Hey, Liz, Hi, Liz.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Good morning, Hi, good morning. Hey.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
So you've been this has happened to you? Like this
story is somebody that he resonates with you?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yes, I dated someone for a couple of years. He
did not want to learn any Spanish at all, and
it just became too too hard. It strained our relationship
my parents. I'm Mexican, my parents speak Spanish as a
first language, and he every time he would come over
(25:14):
to the house, he would have me translate what my
parents were seeing.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
And it's like you can't learn anything, like you can't
greet them, or I don't know, learn basic sense, like
you're not willing to do anything.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yep, he just didn't want to learn.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
So I'm like, you know what, this.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Is not going to work. You're not putting an effort.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You're showing me you do not care.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, I agree with you. Thank you, Liz. Have a
good day you too. Okay, now this is going to
be fun. One more Anna, Hi Anna, Good.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Morning, Anna. I'm calling radio show.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, oh my gosh, and aim higher call a better one. No,
so you know you know Polish because of somebody?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Well no, well let me okay, let me elaborate so
mine's black and of course my son is too. But
my son his partner is Polish, and so I have
a black and Polish grandson. I'm very young, but my
son and I are making the effort to learn Polish
(26:15):
on behalf of my grandson. That's awesome side of the family.
His other grandmother only speaks Polish. You cannot understand a
word of her English, though we want to be able
to all communicate. She is she's watching his other grandmother
(26:36):
is watching Chesame Street to try to learn English.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
See, this is how it should be. It's just so sweet.
She's trying.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You're trying, and again, no one's asking you to be fluent.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Say something to let's see about.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I'm trying a complete blank right.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Now, Nona, you know you're you're abat jaw. You know
that right, You're a grandma.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
You're about yees.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Don't call her that he wants him to.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Call her, but yes, and he can of course call
me that too. But I just think that that is
I mean, you guys have said it already. It's very
selfish and self tenator of her not to be willing
to share that with him and his family. And of
course what an impact I would have on their kids.
So I just you know, my grandson just came to
(27:23):
mind when I heard you guys talking about this.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, Anna, I commend you and thank you for calling.
You call anytime. Okay, we'll do all right, have a
good day. The Entertainment Reports Next seven hundred and fifty
bucks with show by Shelley in the showdown. It's tough
to be, but that's good money. We'll play in less

The NFL playoffs over the weekend. So we got the
Bills over the Ravens, the Eagles over the Rams, the
Chiefs over the Texans, and the Commanders over the last.
I said quietly, I was hoping, Kaylen didn't hear it.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Oh, I heard it. I saw it. Rangos over here, Kaylen.
Everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
It's not but we're used to this, so that's okay.

It's his ninetieth birthday. We met up. You know, we're
celebrating tonight and.
Speaker 6 (01:05):

I scared the crap out of a woman. If that's you,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But she did not enjoy the experience, just like her granddaughter.
So we we walked home and you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Did you if somebody was asking me?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
They actually like texted me who saw your story and
was like, hey, is that thing permanently sealed or like
can you be cause you really did bring an urn
to the bar and you have before I did, because
Nana's in there, so it's it's like sealed, it can't open.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, Jeff got her sealed for me.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Yeah, okay, which is important because.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That I wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
No, not a good thing. Donald J.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Trump once again the president. And that is your political
news of the day. Ohio State won their first national
title since twenty fourteen, defeating Notre Dame last night thirty
four to twenty three.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I know you knew that, Jason thoughts on the game. Good,
I don't like Notre Dame. Hot take? Were you like
Ohio State? Yes? Oh boy? Okay?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
And Ben Johnson has apparently agreed to become the Chicago
bears next head coach. That was It's been kind of
floating around. I don't know if anyone's confirmed it, but
that's what Adam Schefter sanging. And Adam Schefter from ESPN
seems to know everything, as you know.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Oh yeah, I mean Adam, I think it's confirmed from
having a boyfriend that works in stupid sports.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Okay, yeah, I mean everyone's saying it, it's done, But
I don't think the Bears have come out and said,
like we hired this guy.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Here you go, everyone, why would it be done as
he bad or something?
Speaker 8 (02:53):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Done done, done done.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Don But he's coming from the Lions, so.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
That yeah, Too're not gonna have any coaches except for
Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell didn't have to coach everything himself,
which he can do. The guy consumes enough caffeine. He's
fully capable of it. Yeah he is. He's been the
Lions offensive coordinated for the past three seasons and he
is arguably the most coveted coach available right now.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So you've got that.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
But anyway, how many which of these teams did you pick, Jason,
because I don't remember which ones you picked in which
one Bella picked.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't remember who played? You had the Lions, right, yeah, Lions.
Speaker 9 (03:28):
He picked the Chiefs and the Chiefs obviously, the Rams
and the Ravens.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
So you you only won one? You went one?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, I know, you're really really off, right you off?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And then.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Our intern who wants to be a sports broadcaster, she
picked some of the other ones, or does she also
do poorly?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
She picked the Chiefs, the Lions, the Eagles, and the Bills.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Okay, she got she got more rights.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
That made it better.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, Carrie Underwood.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
She walked into the Capitol rotunda after President Trump was
sworn in on Monday, microphone in hand, ready to sing
America the Beautiful However, there was no music to go
with it, so they all just kind of stood there
for a while, and then I guess finally somebody told her, like, hey,
it's not gonna be new music. So she's sang at
acapella and they're really good. Job, yeah, which it has
to be hard, and she was expecting, you know, the
music backing, and then when that doesn't come, like what
(04:22):
do you do? Like never mind? But no, she has
that voice. Some people that would have been very dangerous.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
I would have pooped my pants, like me too, Okay, uh,
I don't know what I'm gonna do now.
Speaker 9 (04:32):
I would have forgot the lyrics even though like even
though you like, you know, I shut up, Jason, you
know a song like you know, you know a song
like I know the national anthem, you know, like I
know that, But in that moment with the music that
I mean that, I would have completely blanked out.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
You know, ye'll just take yourself.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Out, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I would play the music for you, and I'd love
to hear your rendition. But I'm almost I'm almost afraid.
I'm almost afraid of what might actually happen if we
did that. So I'm just gonna say you know it
and it would be beautiful.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yes, right now.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
The music does which one? Are we singing? America? The
beautiful Nessie? I never said I knew that one. I
said I knew the national anthem? Okay, I just feel
like America.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Which is not pledge. You know that's a different one.
Oh yeah, yeah, but you know the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yes? Oh say?
Speaker 9 (05:27):
We can you see by the downs early like so
proudly we hel at the twilight's last gleaming whose brush
stripes and bright stars through the peril this fight for
the ramparts we'd watch were so gallantly streaming, and the
rockets red glare boom, The birds bursting in air, birds
(05:47):
birds bombs bursting in areas gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there? Old say, does that
spangled banner still glare?
Speaker 1 (05:57):
That's right, it's not I'm binger confusing me.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Listen Listening to protect my.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Girl was right, new Executive Order playing.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
I wish we could get stuff done that fast around here.
My god, it was ten things so quick, right, unstoppable.
I have things I want to get done around here.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We probably could have slipped a few ends. Nobody would
have known.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Sign on that pant.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
There were enough of them, okay, gave.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Proof of the night.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
The flag's still there, O say, does that stars thank
spangled way?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yet waved on looking it up?
Speaker 6 (06:38):
Oh doth for the Land of the Free and the
Home of the sound like idiots?
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I'm no, I'm like talking and trying to find the
lyrics at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Well, I do normally sing it once a day, so well, I.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Know, rise and put our hands over our hearts, and
then we look at the flag that we have hanging
in the studio, and then we do.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
But we're more of a pledge of allegiance. Crew.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
You didn't take your beanie off this morning, though I
was ta annoyed at you.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I always the beanie. I come on, the beatie was
over my heart. You know what I mean, hair straight up.
I don't care. It's patriotism once in a generation. Winter
storm is sweeping through the South with bone chilling temperatures
and potentially historic snowfall. The governors of Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
and Mississippi of declared states of emergency. Texas authorities have
directed state agencies to mobilize resources to the threat of
(07:22):
heavy snow. More than two hundred and twenty million people
across forty states are affected by bitterly cold air, with
the upper Midwest and northern plains likely to experience windshield
temperatures as low as fifty five degrees below zero this
week fifty five below. Also, as you may have encountered
over the weekends, TikTok went away and then it came back.
I called Shenanigans. I told you, yes on this program
(07:46):
right here.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yes, you did. You predict it like you knew that
you knew. And there are so many conspiracy theories about this.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Oh yeah, they switch servers, that it was all a ploy,
that there's all kinds of weird stuff going on.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
But you say we're only getting half of it though,
or something didn't I read that he was like, okay,
you have TikTok, but you only have half of it,
or like he was going.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
To change it or something.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
That's the deal he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Okay, Well, no, he wants to sell half of it,
so he wants the United States to buy fifty percent
of it. Okay, so that he thinks that, well, all
of a sudden, everyone's position on this has changed. Why
you don't ful ja made in China, and they could
probably you know, there's a lot of ways, and only
kids use TikTok. I'm like, yeah, only kids, It's exactly right.
But they have signed an executive action the DeLay's enforcement
(08:31):
of the TikTok band for seventy five days. I just
thought it was sus that the very first thing you
see when it comes back, the very first thing. Oh yeah, well,
thank you to the president president message.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
Elect though he wasn't even president yet, right technically until
yesterday today, I had the message Okay, so what is
an elect president elect doing so quickly and so effectively?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Sorry my so sign But he wasn't even in office
yet and we're already thanking him. Do you get what
I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
But I don't even know that I've ever seen a
business reopen, except for except for what was that place
called the Four Seasons air Conditioning place in Philadelphia. I
remember the last cycle where they thought they were having
it at the ballroom of a hotel, but it was
really out in front of a like a car wash
or something whatever there. Yeah, but I don't think I've
ever seen that before, where a business reopens and the
(09:18):
very first statement is thanks to the President.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
It's like, huh, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
A Starbucks employee in Mobile, Alabama, required stitches and vaccinations
last week after a customer's pet monkey leaped into a
service window, ran up her arm to her head, and
then began biting her. The attack reportedly ended with a
coworker with a coworker grabbing the animal and threw it
out of the drive through window. The employee the monkey attack,
who asked that she remained unnamed, sustained BikeE marks to
(09:46):
her hands and a laceration in her ear, which required stitches.
The owner of the animal could face charges and what
could possibly go wrong here? But a Florida woman was
hiding drugs in a bag labeled definitely not a bag
full of drugs. This is a real story and she
was arrested after being released from jail ten days earlier
(10:07):
for drug charges. The Brevard County I think I said
that right deputy and her canine partner conducted a traffic stop,
searched the car, found a few.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Bags of drugs.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Drugs, including one with the slogan printed on the front
of it, methanphetamine, needles, narcam, digital scales, small baggies, cut straws,
other drug paraphernalia. So I would recommend that you label
that stuff something different other than definitely not a bag
full of drugs. It would appear that she's spelled definitely
right though, which is the most important part, because that's
(10:39):
a hard word to spell.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I can't even sell me.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I have a hard time saying definitely gonna be pulling. Yeah,
I don't know why. It's hard for me. And participation
is a hard word for me to say too. It's
national What is this?
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
No, I know this is that stuff that they have
the commercials.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
For Hya Ironiconic.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
I said, yeah, I saw that lady talking about it. Yeah,
from that House Live show, remember that?
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Remember the Desperate House I remember how wild people were
for that show.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Anyway, it's that squirrel Appreciation Day, and it's also National
Hugging Day today as well. But I guess we need
to ask for concept before we hug people. So like,
let's make sure, okay, thank you, and it's squirrel Day
not random monkey at the Starbucks Day. The Entertainment reports.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Next Fred's show is on, It's Stay or Go, Diego
is here? Diego? Good morning, Good morning, diego.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So it's group therapy and you get what you pay for,
which in this case it's free. So just keep that
in mind before you make any like life altering decisions.
But what's going on with this is your girlfriend we're
talking about today?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, that's right. So what's going on?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Well, me and my girlfriend have been together for like
two years, and honestly, I've been contemplating for posing.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Okay, wow, you want to do that? You say you
want to do that? Is that the whole? Is that
the whole?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
Call?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Well no, I say, you know, you can live a
very nice life without somebody else. But no, that's not
that's not the dilemma, right, you're thinking about proposing. I'm
very happy for you that you found someone, Yes, okay,
well yeah.
Speaker 8 (12:21):
But the thing is I'm Mexican and my parents they
don't really speak English, and my older sisters don't really
speak English either. So I was having a conversation with
my girlfriend, the one I'm thinking about proposing to, and
not the other.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Girlfriend, right, yeah, as opposed to the others.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah, I can see how this is a dilemma already.
So you're talking to your girlfriend about this.
Speaker 8 (12:49):
Well, I was encouraging her to learn Spanish so she
can like communicate with my family and you know when
we take trips to Mexico in the future that I'm
thinking of, you know, that she would be able to
talk to my you know, my mom and and all
of that. But she said no, like she wasn't even
(13:13):
open to it at all, Like she didn't say, oh,
maybe or or yeah, I could you know, learn a
little bit, Like she was just like, no, she doesn't
have time to learn another language, and you know, just
saying that my family should be, you know, able to
learn English as well, like you know, I've learned English.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
So so that's her solution. Her thing is, I realize
I'm potentially marrying into a family uh who speaks another
language primarily. And her official position is I have no
interest in ever understanding anything they're saying about because I honestly,
selfishly I think I would want to learn whatever language
(13:53):
as best as I could, so I could realize, no,
if you were talking.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
About me, right, yes, number one, I want to know.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
I'm sitting at the table, you know, and you all
saying like this dude is a chump, and I don't
know why you're marrying him, and look you don't even
speak our language. And then then what I would love
to be able to do in my fantasy is go
ro rare country, oh you know, and then and then
tell them what I think. But look at this Jason Brown.
I mean he's been on dua lipa now for what
a year?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah? Well more than that. I started in twenty twenty. Okay,
so four five years five?
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Have you ever broken your streak?
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Yeah, there's some freezes, like if I'm too any created
one night, but that's okay, it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You've learned a lot, like you're really really good. Yeah,
it wouldn't be that hard for this woman to learn
some I mean, I think it would be endearing if
she'd learn some stuff. I mean, I don't think you're
asking her to be fluent, are you?
Speaker 5 (14:45):
No?
Speaker 8 (14:45):
I mean, and and yeah, that's that's how I feel.
I mean, honestly, I'm just turned off by her response.
And that's when I started questioning thing. I don't know
if I'm asking too much here, if it's just learning something.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Not at all? Of course.
Speaker 10 (14:59):
And my for example, my stepdad did not speak any Polish,
and my mom is Polish. My grandma doesn't say anything
in English. Besides hello, So when when she came here,
I mean, hello, Grandma saying hello so like it's the
cutest thing ever. But like when she was here, when
she would come visit, and you know, they would have
to like eat at the table together, like he would try,
(15:20):
and I think I was like, he didn't do well,
but he tried, was the.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Point, you see, right, And that probably went a long
way to this woman who is like, Wow, this dude
cares enough exactly try and you know, figure something out.
Speaker 10 (15:32):
Plus, like, if you guys have kids, I'm curious, diego,
are you guys going to teach them Spanish or do
you want to?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'm assuming yes, But what do you guys want to do?
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Oh? Absolutely?
Speaker 8 (15:42):
I mean I we haven't talked about kids really to
be honest, but I obviously would want any children, yeah,
to be able to speak both languages.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Period, I would think, And that would look good not
only to your family the effort at least, but then
also the buy in on your culture and your upbringing
and your family for the kids that you guys might
have at some point, because you know, again, what if
they're looking at mom and Mom's like, I don't know
what they're saying, and I don't care, well, then what
is their incentive to learn? You know, if mom's at
(16:14):
least trying, I just I feel like she.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I feel like this is something that's not that hard
to say.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
I'll try, right, you know, Like again, no one's asking
you to be a Spanish professor in a year or something.
You know, no one's asking you to like go work
at Telemundo, deliver the news every night or whatever to
to you know, native Spanish speakers, Like I don't know,
dieg let me take some phone calls on this, and
I would love to know what people have to say,
if they've been through this before.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
But I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I'm just going around the room here, I gotta say,
do we all agree? Like I think it's kind of
messed up?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I think so.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
And another thing too, is like not only like great
is it effort, but like I feel like there's no
there's nothing bat will come out of this for learning
another language. All he's trying to And like the only
thing I would say on the flip side is maybe
because I suffer with this in my Spanish is like
I'm shy, I'm gonna say words wrong, right, So if
I conversate with you, and you know you're obviously flu
when you're saying this, I might feel a little silly
(17:06):
because I'm like, oh, I can't say that word correctly.
It comes off like, you know, I don't have the accent.
But you know what I learned from my mom. My
mom did to speak English coming into this country. And
guess what, every day she still gets up and tries,
you know, and she speaks obviously way better English today
than thirty years ago, but you know she still says
words wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
You are Polish in Mexico, correct, And I mean, and
I don't want to tell you a story, but I
would say that the Polish aspect of your life was
more embraced simply because that was the presence, right, because
your mom was around.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
So I only grew up with my mother, right, So then,
so that was.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Sort of the emphasis, right, was the Polish learning Polish
and whatever. And then you decided to sort of like
explore the other part of this on your own, and
then you wind up marrying into in a Hispanic family.
So now it's like, and I know that you have
some insecurity about this too, don't you, like, cause it's like, well,
this is part of me, but I don't really know
anything about it and I'm trying to learn. But yet
(17:59):
these people this is like what they know. And so yeah,
and so you kind of I'm sure you feel like
a little left out.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
Yeah, well, thank you for acknowledging that, because that is
like a huge thing for me personally as a mixed person.
But also I know a lot of even Mexican Americans
go through that. Who you know, we're born here who
don't speak Spanish because they weren't taught that whatever reason
that might be, right, your parents didn't want to teach you,
and they had their reasons. So I can't blame a
lot of people. But a lot of times it's like
your own community too, coming after you, right, it's like, oh,
you're a Nosamo kid. It's like, yeah, I am, because
(18:26):
I wasn't taught that by a parent. Like that's something
that was out of my control. So as an adult,
you know, what is in my control is picking up
Dualipa like Jason, yeah, and learning you know, And I
was always surrounded by Spanish speakers in high school, Like
my high school was ninety a percent Hispanic speaking, you know,
her Spanish speaking so Hispanic, you know, students. So I
was able to like kind of pick that up a
little bit too. So like that, I know I'm lucky
for but I still struggle with it.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I want to be the odd person out either. I mean,
let's just okay, So let's say this woman Diego doesn't
care about your culture, he doesn't care about your language,
doesn't care about your family or or ingratiating herself with them.
I wouldn't want to be sitting in the room and
having no idea what my kids and everybody else talking about.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
So so even if it's selfish, I guess I would
make the effort so that I wasn't shunned. But let
me take some calls Diego, I have the radio on
a good luck thanks for calling dump. Yeah, I think
she's I don't. I don't like it. It seems very selfish.
I mean, again, you're not asking her. It's not like
you're saying I need you to go. I need you
to be fluent, I need you to know past participle,
(19:26):
and I need you to be I need you know
all the irregulars and the Yeah, because again I took
Spanish for twelve years, and I can tell with a
little bit of if I go to Mexico, you know,
and I sort of hear it a little bit. I
can tell you what's happening right now. Okay, I can
tell you what's happening right now. Do not ask me
what happened yesterday. Don't ask me what's going to happen tomorrow.
(19:47):
We don't do that.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
I don't know what used to happen. What I know
is what's right in front of me. Do you're not, No,
don't ask me that. Hello, Bridget, how you doing it?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Is for jet?
Speaker 11 (20:06):
Good morning?
Speaker 12 (20:07):
How are you guys?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Let me go?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Thanks for calling and thank you. So Diego just called.
If you just tuning in.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And he's thinking about marrying this woman, but his whole
family speaks Spanish primarily, and he's like, hey, would you
would you learn some words so maybe you can, I
don't know, make them feel comfortable, make them feel like
you care kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
And she said, no, I won't do it. What do
you think?
Speaker 12 (20:28):
Yeah, I think it's time to go. When somebody shows
you who they are and the effort they're willing to
put in or not put in believe them the first time.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, what I've seen videos on TikTok of like
men or women learning entire speeches in another language to recite,
Like they'll take a year worth of classes to learn
how to give their wedding speech at the wedding in
the native language. And even though it's not good or
they stumble all over it or they're nervous or whatever.
(20:56):
It's like I've seen, you know, the people who it's
affecting are the people who being done for, Like they
they're so emotional because like this dude cared enough to
go take Russian you know what I'm saying, like or
something really difficult to be able to do this for
me on this day.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
I think it really goes along the way.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
To show that you care about somebody's family. Yes, he's
not asking for much, he's asking just to try. Like
you said, he's not asking for Telemundo level speaking, no,
asking for trying.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I agree. Thank you, Richie, have a great day, Thanks
for listening. Thank you you too, appreciate you. That's a
good point.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
And also to like someone kind of texted this in
and I thought it was a valid point. It's like yeah,
like the language is part of your culture, but like
there's more to that, like if they do have kids
or whatever, right, and like she's going to be around
like the family like like that that's the culture is
a lifestyle, you know what I mean. So like the food,
the music, all of that, it all ties into the language.
So I think it's all important if you're going to
marry to that family to embrace all of it.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
My hot tache.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Well, and we know people well vellahemine didn't become she didn't.
She didn't become Jewish for her husband, but it was
a part of him, and she did it for herself
and for him, you know. But like I know people
who have gone all the way they've they've become Jewish,
they've become you know, Christians, are born again or whatever
it is, because they knew how important that was to
(22:09):
their partner. And he's not asking for that. He's asking
you to, like get on YouTube and learn a couple
of words. Hey, Angel, how you doing, good morning? Thanks
for Colin.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
What do you think?
Speaker 13 (22:20):
Well, I think, you know, as Mexican, you needs to
he needs to let her go. I mean he's not
he's not asking too much it's just kind of making
a little effort. I just said, you know, she's not
gonna make a speech, do a speech or something like that.
It just kind of have something to stay with his family.
And she's not willing to make that when you know
(22:45):
she's dating him in the first place. She knows his blackphone.
I mean, she's not she's getting into so she needs
he needs to let her go.
Speaker 10 (22:54):
I'm serious, and.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
The whole like they should learn English stuff.
Speaker 13 (22:56):
It's like, no, And I bet she's didn't love the
Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Right, she likes some of it, and I'm like the
other parts of it.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
That's not how this works. I think it's it's for me.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
It's not even the fact that she didn't come to
this conclusion on her own. It's the hard no, which
which I think Tory is about to talk about to
thank you so much for Colin.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Have a great day, Amiga.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
That's about as far as I can go with that, Toy, Hello, toy.
We're on the same page here, Like why the hard
no is so fast? Like not even let me think
about that?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Right?
Speaker 11 (23:40):
And I teach in a primary a school where people
primarily speak Spanish, and I'm not fluent, and I feel
so uncomfortable where I'm trying to learn Spanish. So at
least I have like an idea and I can try.
And so it's so bizarre that you would just be
in a family where you would have no idea how
to communicate with them.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah. Yeah, he's asking for much. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Sorry, have a great day, you too, Glad you called.
Thank you for listening.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Miguel. Good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 7 (24:08):
I love your show.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Hey man, thank you so much, you say, go.
Speaker 7 (24:12):
Yeah, so, I mean I'm in the same file of relationship.
I'm Mexican and my wife is white. You know, when
we started dating, she came outund the family. They do
speak English, but you know, a lot of the conversation
does go to Spanish. She tried to pick it up.
She's doing to do a linga to uh, to try
to learn just what thought he would be asked, it's
the effort that you want to put in the relationship.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah, hard.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
No, I don't want to put any effort into it
and just doesn't want to be a part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, I don't think it's that hard. Thank you, Miguel.
Have a great day, and good for her. Yes, yeah,
take care Hey, Liz, Hi, Liz.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Good morning, Hi, good morning. Hey.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
So you've been this has happened to you? Like this
story is somebody that he resonates with you?
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Yes, I dated someone for a couple of years. He
did not want to learn any Spanish at all, and
it just became too too hard. It strained our relationship
my parents. I'm Mexican, my parents speak Spanish as a
first language, and he every time he would come over
(25:14):
to the house, he would have me translate what my
parents were seeing.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
And it's like you can't learn anything, like you can't
greet them, or I don't know, learn basic sense, like
you're not willing to do anything.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
Yep, he just didn't want to learn.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
So I'm like, you know what, this.
Speaker 11 (25:31):
Is not going to work. You're not putting an effort.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You're showing me you do not care.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, I agree with you. Thank you, Liz. Have a
good day you too. Okay, now this is going to
be fun. One more Anna, Hi Anna, Good.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Morning, Anna. I'm calling radio show.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Well, oh my gosh, and aim higher call a better one. No,
so you know you know Polish because of somebody?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Well no, well let me okay, let me elaborate so
mine's black and of course my son is too. But
my son his partner is Polish, and so I have
a black and Polish grandson. I'm very young, but my
son and I are making the effort to learn Polish
(26:15):
on behalf of my grandson. That's awesome side of the family.
His other grandmother only speaks Polish. You cannot understand a
word of her English, though we want to be able
to all communicate. She is she's watching his other grandmother
(26:36):
is watching Chesame Street to try to learn English.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
See, this is how it should be. It's just so sweet.
She's trying.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
You're trying, and again, no one's asking you to be fluent.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Say something to let's see about.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
I'm trying a complete blank right.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Now, Nona, you know you're you're abat jaw. You know
that right, You're a grandma.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
You're about yees.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Don't call her that he wants him to.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
Call her, but yes, and he can of course call
me that too. But I just think that that is
I mean, you guys have said it already. It's very
selfish and self tenator of her not to be willing
to share that with him and his family. And of
course what an impact I would have on their kids.
So I just you know, my grandson just came to
(27:23):
mind when I heard you guys talking about this.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, Anna, I commend you and thank you for calling.
You call anytime. Okay, we'll do all right, have a
good day. The Entertainment Reports Next seven hundred and fifty
