I ain't seen that salt shake yet.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
The chicken really white? You know what?

Speaker 2 (00:22):

all of you feel fine afterwards? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:28):
All of you?

Speaker 5 (00:29):
Of me?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
I was hammered.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
But on the way home, okay, great, you ate it
in the car my leftover Ben Hannah, No, I didn't
with your hands.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I guess it wasn't spice correctly.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
Then she was craving my Benny Hannah, right, craved your meat,
craise my bachi.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
So anyway, so you were making what did what were
the contents of said castro?

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (00:54):
So it was ground beef, egg noodles, peas here, it's
some other vegetable that was green. So hamburger helper with
vegetables kind.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Basically with cheese on top. Oh my god, anything this
sounds actually horrible. But anyway, so you.

Speaker 6 (01:12):
Yeah, So I made it.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I was like, I can do this.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
You just mix it all together and put in a dish,
like hell yeah, right, so I can't get out of
the oven, and so like I'm like filling up my
water cup and he walks in. Mike walks in and
he just stops like in front of it and is
just staring at it, like not like getting a plate,
not getting just staring at it. But he doesn't want
to say anything because I like have my you know,
sort of back to him. So I'm like, you know,

(01:38):
looking through my peripheral and I'm like I'm looking at
my peripheral, and.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
So I see him just standing there.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
So then he like takes the littlest scoop and puts
on his plate and he's just standing there in the
kitchen eating it.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Normally we make our plate, we go sit down and eat.

Speaker 6 (01:53):
He's just like sitting there like sampling it, saying nothing,
saying nothing.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
And I knew it was bad.

Speaker 6 (01:58):
So I made a plate and I'm starting to eat it.
And it was the most silent dinner and neither of
us up anything to each other. And then two days
later he was like that was prison food, which you
just gave me literal prison food.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Wow, he accused you of giving him prison food?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah, how did you wait two days to say that?

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Well, you wait until like I brought it up.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
I made some comment about cooking, and he was like,
he was like, never made what you make? You know
again two days ago? Because that was awful giving me
prison food?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
How ungrateful that he cooks something for you?

Speaker 7 (02:31):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Never. I don't even think he knows how to turn
the other on.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I think if somebody cooks something for you, you you
have to you eat it and you don't say a thing.

Speaker 8 (02:39):
What.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Oh okay, I thought you're going to see you have
to cook something for them.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'm gonna say, don't you start that?

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Well, I think that's a nice thing to do, because
your boyfriend you're obs Tell me the theory.

Speaker 9 (02:50):
There are cookers and then there are personality hires that
stand there with the cooker, the chef, if you will
and entertain them.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
They have a glass of wine, they tell jokes. Can I.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Personality higher in the kitchen? M Yeah?

Speaker 10 (03:06):
So I thought you were about to say some crazy
each cooking you know? No, No, I'm sure you. I'm
sure you do your part. Uh, personality higher.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, but you know if you if someone makes a
meal for you, you have to eat it and then
you have to just be quiet about it.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now, if if someone asks me and like like my mom,
my mom is she's a very very good like home
chef and she's taking courses and you've done all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
My dad's not. My dad is no dummy in retirement.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
He has sent her to like various schools that's like
for a week at a time or whatever, because she
wants to do this. She wants to travel and how
to cook like food. So he'll be like, go and
then she comes home and she's, you know, making the
food for him. He's not an idiot, and she's really
really good. But like she'll make something and then she'll
ask for feedback, and I know in that case she
wants to know really what I thought, because she was

(04:03):
like actually concerned with you know, I don't know she
made it for other people, So I try and be
honest ish like if it but she never made me
anything really bad. But the point is, if so much
cooking for me, I eat it and I say thank you,
and that's the end of it. Like I'm not coming
back later and on, by the way, that was terrible.
The only problem is if he thought you thought it

(04:24):
was good, then it's happening again, like that will be
on the rotation of lazy dishes, and.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
The rotation is small, so like we're, you know, every
two weeks eating the same thing. So I'm sure he
was probably like, we're not adding this into He could.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Have done it better. No, he could have been like,
you know, hey, I like these things. I didn't particularly
care for that one though. That's how you do that,
and you don't say you just fed me prison food.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
Oh, just like my orange chicken. Oh that was so bad.
Don't ever try to make your own orange chicken. That
was a bad night too.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
That to me sounds like something that I would just
run down the street and pick up. You know, there
are certain foods I'm just you know, I'm not making
orange chicken.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I'm not. I don't I'm not doing that worth it.

Speaker 7 (04:59):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
I have another theory while we're talking about food, and
I think a lot of people would agree. But no
one ever cooks for me ever, really, because I either
order it or make it myself. It's just me at
the house, and I was at my friend Bruce's house
over the weekend, and this guy cooks everything like bist
like like it's it's ten o'clock at night, and there
may or may not have well, let's just say everyone

(05:22):
was a little hungry on Friday night at ten o'clock.
Maybe he's rhymes with munchies. And and he says to me,
do you want cookies? And I was like, do I
want chocolate chip cookie?

Speaker 11 (05:31):
Like?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Okay, sure, And in my mind it's you know, slice
and bake.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
No, no glass bowl.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Comes out, flour measuring cups, melted butter, chocolate chips.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Oh yeah, No, we did a whole thing. The mixer.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I mean, I was handed like one of the little things,
that little blender things.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Maybe that may have been something he wanted to watch.
I don't know, but it doesn't matter at the point.
But where I'm going with this is he cooked all weekend.
I was eating food cooking. He made me a sandwich.
Sandwich is made by other people for you taste better
than the ones you make yourself. That is a that
is a proven They not even theory, it's a fact.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Sandwiches somebody else makes for you tastes better than the
ones you can make yourself.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
Why I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Oh yeah, and I mean at home, because obviously you
go to like you know, Subway or Jimmy Johns whatever,
Jersey Mics, and then they make it for you.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
It tastes good.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
But I had to how someone gives you a sandwich
that may taste better than any other kind of sandwich.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
Just so true.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yeah, I just used to tell him, next time you
make something that he doesn't like, be like, well, there's
lunch meat in the fridge. That's what my mom used
to say. I didn't like dinner. Ye, well then there's
bread and lunch meat. You should tell them just like
your mom. Okay, don't pick me up up Yeah, never mind.

(06:54):
I actually don't do that. I'm not equipped for that.
You can't live with me. It is The Fred Show.
Good morning, Thanks for having us the radio, on the
iHeart app Live and anytime Search put a fresh show
on demand. So last week I think we've talked about
the phrases that people misuse or say incorrectly, or that
we I don't remember exactly what that one was that
was long was several days ago.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, like it's cold as hall. It doesn't make sense, right,
it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
So now this week on Reddit It's people are talking
about the phrases that annoy them every time they hear them,
and many of them come from overdone memes or I
don't know, a generation saying something too much over and
over again whatever eight five five five one three five,
you can call it text the same number. What comes

(07:39):
to mind immediately as soon as I say phrase that
annoys you?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
What comes to mind? Hmm?

Speaker 12 (07:46):
This is not like I hear when people say friya
or Friday eve, Friday eve, yeah, or happy friya, like
it's Friday.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Come on, it's not friye. Yeah, it's not.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
No, it's not it's but like it's Friday.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
I stop.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think I said. I've said Friday Eve, I've said
weekend Eve. I don't think I've ever in my whole life,
except for right now, said Friday. It's just not something
that's ever come out of my mouth on purpose.

Speaker 9 (08:13):
Or do we have to every birthday another trip around
the sun, like come on.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Happy birthday?

Speaker 8 (08:18):
Right?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Okay, those are mine.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Those came quickly, that didn't take very long on the
tip of your tongue, like rise and grind when people
that I'm not trying to grind anybody. I have bad breath.
I need to breast my teeth. Nothing's being grinded right now,
let alone grind and no grounding going on right grinded grinding.

(08:46):
I'm just trying to think of the right tense. Paulina,
you must have something, You must have something that you
hear the phrase that drives you nuts.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Nothing's coming to.

Speaker 13 (08:53):
Mind, not really, because I'm always saying most of them,
to be completely honest, and I never said Friday though
I have tripped around the sun, for sure, I've done
that many of times.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
This is not even a saying.

Speaker 13 (09:03):
But I hate when my husband says I got to
see where their mindset is at.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
I don't know why he says that, and I.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Don't think that's a I think that's a I think
he can make a sentence. I don't think I got
to see where their mindset does somebody?

Speaker 1 (09:14):
It's not real.

Speaker 3 (09:14):
But he says is what I'm saying, and it drives
me nuts.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
I don't know why. What does that mean? When you're like,
do you thank you?

Speaker 3 (09:20):
What does that mean?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Where do you want to go to dinner? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
I got to see, like where do our friends want
to go to dinner? I got to see where their mindsets?
A what does that mean?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
I have no idea. I hate it only he says
that no one else has ever said that.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
No, thank God, don't say it.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
But here are the ones, come to mine, just the one.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
It's one that our friend Zach Book says to us
every morning.

Speaker 14 (09:37):
When is it?

Speaker 15 (09:40):
Like?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Shut up? What does that even mean? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I thought he was setting me up to say something bad.
So to this day he's been saying it to us
for two years. And to this day, when he walks
by and says, I just say g R because I
don't know what he's trying to get me to say.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, like grand rise. It's like a fancy way of
saying good morning, sy good morning, like a spiritual way.
And I hate a circle back. I don't want to say.
I want to finish whatever going on right now.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well, that's an entirely different topic. That's that's all the
corporate catchphrases. Oh and my god, God bless this company
in some ways. But like the ways in which we
like get to eat and stuff. But boy, do those
guys at corporate love to use those phrases man, and
it's like, oh and then once somebody at the very
top uses it, then all the little middle managers use

(10:30):
it too, because well, if Daddy Bob used it, then
you know, we got to be doing that. But a
lot of it's like I can breathe, like we got
to abbreviate everything, you know, It's like, why are you breathing?
Just say the word? How hard is it to say
two syllable words?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
It's not.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Let me see here, chicken Tendy's someone doesn't like when
people say chicken tendy is guilty if you know worn out, Yeah,
I'm in my blank era. Somebody said one I will say,
if I'm being honest, is the phrase that drives them
nut oh nuts. What you're basically saying is I'm about

(11:07):
to say something unpopular or I'm about to say something
that isn't maybe gonna make you feel that good? Right,
So if I'm being honest, so it's I guess, or
it's you lie all the time. So now I'm gonna
tell you the truth just right now. But that's like,
and I'm guilty of this week, not to be an
a whole I'm the guilty of that one, but then
I'm about to say something that's pretty a r Yeah,

(11:28):
But like, I think there's a I think there is
a difference between saying something where you intend to be
an a hole and then when you're just saying something
that's not all that nice but you're not necessarily trying
to be a jerk. So I guess that's why I
say it, because it's like, here's something that's about to
be critical, but I'm actually not saying it from a
mean place. At least that's how I justified to myself.

(11:48):
But you're the one. Oh, Polly has one. Polly doesn't
like this one? Hi Polly, how you doing?

Speaker 8 (11:53):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Polly? You don't like this phrase good morning.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Good morning.

Speaker 12 (11:58):
I don't like the phrase holy because beans are not cool.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
I've heard that about beans.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I've never thought a bean was cool, to be honest
with you, If I'm being.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Honest, I get it.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Not to be an a hole, but cool beans is annoying. Yeah,
I agree with you. Yeah, And it's a special kind
of person who says cool beans. By the way, it's
that person like who who smoked a lot of weed
in high school or like it was like the hippie,
dippy kind of thing to say. Cool beans, man, Yeah,
I agree, yep, yeah, thank you. Probably have a good day.

(12:33):
So here's the ones from Reddit. These are the phrases
that annoy people every time they hear them. I was
today years old. What I mean, I'm definitely guilty of
saying that. That doesn't mean it's not annoying guys. Let
me see here, well played, someone said I love that
for you.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
I love that.

Speaker 6 (12:53):
Yeah, I love that journey for you.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
You tell me blank without telling me you blank. That
annoys people. Oh god, that's a good one. I hate
that one. Like tell me your mom. Don't tell me
your mom your mom?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Girl, I know same.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
These are from Reddit annoying phrases. Not all heroes were capes,
finishing every sentence with you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (13:17):
I do that? Yeah, I do that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
I try and reserve it to like when I actually
think I said something that didn't make sense.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
But I guess, you know, you can't always be that one.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Let me see here, I did a thing annoys people
when people said I did a thing. When people say
supposedly instead of supposedly.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
Well yeah, that's just wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Right.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Supposedly there's a D there is no b in supposedly.
I don't know if you knew them, living my best life.
People don't like that one. Yes, I'm in my blank era.
People don't like that one lives rent free in my head,
don't thing? This was Oh god, I've said this every
day in twenty twenty five. That wasn't on my twenty

(14:05):
twenty five bingo card. I mean, nothing has been on
my twenty trust me, nothing has been on my twenty
twenty five bingo cards so far. Not one thing. No,

You nuts at the end of the thing, at the
end of the day. I love that one.

Speaker 2 (14:45):

not to.

like for that one that's more about me. Like if
I ask you if that makes sense, I'm not because
she said, well, I'm not stupid. I get that. If
I say that to you, it's did I just make sense?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Like how I'm saying it. I can't speak right exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
It's like whatever's in my sometimes getting it from my
brain to my mouth is very difficult process. It's not
real far from here to there, but boy, can it
be a process.

I have a good day. Actually, exactly, glad you called.
Here are the corporate ones.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I mean these are just and some of these are older,
but I mean, and they're constantly evolving, these corporate slang terms.
We got to move the needle, guys. We got to
think outside the box and be proactive. It's time to
get the low hanging fruit. It is what it is
at the end of the day. We got to get
our ducks in a row and go back to the
drawing board, the elephant in the room. We got to

(17:46):
hit the ground running and run the numbers and run
that up the flagpole.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
And why are we running up a flagpole? What does
that mean?

Speaker 6 (17:53):
I say that mean like if you don't want to
tell somebody no, Like if someone asks you for something
and I don't want to say no, I'll be like, oh,
I'm going to run it up the flagpole here and.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Run it up, like see what the higher ups think,
Like go up the chain.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Of the man as I could.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, here's one. I've never heard this one before. See
if the cat licks it up. Oh, I'm going to
use that one today. I'm going to use that one.
I mean to see if the customers like it. You know,
I'll tell you what. Let me let me see if
you know it's ridiculous. Reinvent the wheel, push the envelope,

(18:33):
putting lipstick on a pig. These are all the corporate
terms that like people used to wear vests to work
in Patagonia, too many cooks in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
The iPod of the industry.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
It so the iPod being like the revolutionary of whatever synergy,
the eight hundred pound gorilla. Don't throw the baby out
with the bath water, raise the bar. Well, that's the
sixty four thousand dollars question, hope, is that a strategy?

Speaker 1 (19:00):
The eighty twenty rule?

Speaker 2 (19:01):
If I have one more person this month, or I
guess we're in a new month, if one more person
last month, says to me, the eighty twenty rule, And anyway,
this context there, let's peel back the onion. I see
your mission critical full transparency circle.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Back there it is. Yeah, man, we got to boil
the ocean. Oh what what?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Which I guess is like biting off more than you
can chew. We're looking for a needle in the haystack.
Game changer, it's on my radar. Drink the kool aid,
look under the hood. Lots of moving parts. Par for
the course. We got to call in the swat team.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Oh, hell's that's what's a radio swat team? Hey? Andre?
Hey Andre, Hey man, you.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
Get to final say, bro that the phrase that just
drives you crazy.

Speaker 11 (19:51):
Well, my brother says this all the time.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
He's a truck driver.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Hey.

Speaker 14 (19:56):
You know, I was hitting down the road and saw
this accident and world to the story is okay.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, the more the moral of the story, yeah, it's like, thanks,
thank you. Yeah, no, no, no, it's either way. It's annoying. Yeah, thanks,
thanks for explaining to me. It's like, yeah, someone hit
another card. It's terrible. The moral of the story is
it's bad. Well, thank you, thanks, thanks for explaining it
to me. Andre, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Hey, you guys, have a great day.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Hey you two burning the candle at both ends. The
fact of the matter is living the dream.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I'm gonna just shut up.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
I'm gonna say, yeah, I need to go back to
the drawing board. Maybe I'll start speaking in another language
or or something. It's the French show.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Good morning. Thank you so much for waking up with us. Well.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
This is from Reddit's wedding shaming forum. Paulina sent me
this eight five, five, five, nine one one o three five.
You can call it text the same numbers, so.

Speaker 15 (20:52):
Can you.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I want to hear from both perspectives. Maybe you've had
to do this before, but since the COVID nineteen pandemic,
there is a couple that was getting married and another
couple I guess that had been hanging out at least
once a month. The four live in the same city
and spend a lot of time together. This is my
version of morality Monday. By the way, this is morality Monday, right.

(21:15):
So it wasn't surprising when the bride and groom sent
this couple saved the date a year in advance, and
then the wedding invitation, which was addressed to each of
them three months ago, and then suddenly, with the wedding
just a month away, the groom informed the partner that
I guess of the other couple one of the partners
that they would no longer be getting a plus one,

(21:38):
so now the couple's not a couple anymore, it's just
the person. I guess one of the people gets to
go now, even though because I guess that's how you
normally can tell, is that wedding invitation will say both
names or name plus guest, and if you're not sure,
then you should just ask, which can be awkward, but
I would. I think it's much better if you ask
then show up with somebody and nobody.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Was expecting that. That's really bad.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
So anyway, so they come back and say, I'm sorry,
but only you can come now your partner can't come. Unfortunately,
this is the quote I was having my invite rescinded,
as they have declared that all plus ones have to
be engaged or married, and the person later explained I
and several other girl boyfriends have been removed from the
attendee list, and even some of their aunts and uncles

(22:22):
are being told that their partners can't attend anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
When ask why.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
They have supposedly decided that they want their day to
be a true celebration of love and therefore only want
committed couples in attendance.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh, that is so ugly.

Speaker 13 (22:36):
That is so ugly to say to somebody, or to
like not in by someone because they're not married or engaged. Like, yes,
as a married woman, obviously I took my commitment to
that level.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
But that doesn't mean that's for everybody.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
So have you ever had to uninvite someone or like,
I mean, maybe there were too many people that are
MVP because I've never been married, But I have to assume.
I don't know, if you've got one hundred spots, maybe
you invite one hundred and thirty people or one hundred
and twenty. As soon as there's a number of people
that won't are SVP, right, they won't show up. True,
So but then what if everybody's like, oh, I want
to go wedding of the century or it's historic friend's

(23:10):
getting married. We never thought this would happen. I have
to see you with my own eyes, And so I
get one hundred percent attendance and now all of a sudden,
I'm too many.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'm over.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
I feel like that's something I got to figure out
now exactly right, Like I need to figure out how
to accommodate that because I invited.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
You Well, up a table, get more chairs out, all right, more.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Tell lady break back into the mall, get them cinna
bunch and then get them ready for us.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Warm them up.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Let's do it, you know, send Kiky to camc get
in there. You know you remember it to work.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'm sure. It's just like riding a bike.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
I really think you know that. I think that I
can still move the line.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yeah, yeah, I know that you were very proud of that. Yeah,
I feel like I can still hold it down.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
But I mean you can't. You cannot uninvite people you've
already invited. It's so weird. And because it's a celebration
of love. Well, you guys are getting married. You weren't
married until now, So then why I'm celebrating love too
with the person that I may marry someday, right.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Right, Yeah, you cannot.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
You can't at the last minute, just saying no, sorry,
you can't come anymore.

Speaker 13 (24:09):
Yeah, uninviting somebody is so weird, Like you have to
have a big reason to uninvite somebody.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
I'm talking like we're about to fistfight, so you can't
calm uh yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
So people are saying that they didn't think they committed
couple's policy made any sense considering they've been in a
serious relationship with their partner for nine years, which is
three years longer than the bride and groom. And again,
if it's a money thing, like if there are enough
spots or something, then don't you then either have to
adjust or I don't think you just calm people up

(24:37):
and say.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
I've heard of this happening before invitations are sent out,
So like when you're making your guests list, you're like,
you know what, we're only gonna give plus once to
marry couples.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
You know, I've heard of that.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
But to send out invites and then rescind the offer
is a diabolic code, like you yes, and it's very teching.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
It's very cheap and very cheap.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
If I was our friend, I would text all the
others single people that are invited in, like, let's take
a stand, stay the couple were going somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
If it's all of us or none of us exactly,
and we're canceling the gift card we sent you or
whatever whatever it is, send the china back exactly.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
People still do that.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Someone texted to one night, what about the love of friendship.
They don't want to celebrate their marriage with the love
of their friends simply because they might be single. Well,
that's the thing, and how about that friendship, Like that
friendship is over because yeah, right, which one of us
gets to go? And why, well, how did you pick
one of the other? Huh? And then how are we

(25:35):
supposed to hang out, you know, and like go to
Applebee's on Friday night or whatever and do it? Well whatever, Hey, Maddie,
good morning, bye, good morning. So you're doing this. You're
only inviting committed people to the wedding, yes, and so.

Speaker 5 (25:54):
Not that they have to be engaged or married. If
they are a long term relationship, I'm more than happy
to have them have a guest come to the wedding.
But if it's like all my single friend's gonna plus
one and then they just bring random people who I've
never met, or they have no intention of staying in
a relationship with them for the sake of just a
plus one to the wedding, then no.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I'm with you on that. I kind of been
with you on that. Like, if it is you know,
wedd is your expensive money is tight. If I have
five single friends now I don't. I don't know that
I would actually do this, Maddie. But if I mean,
in theory, I understand what you're saying. If I had
five single friends that aren't dating anybody, and let's say
it's I don't know how much it plate, I'm just
making this up. I'm making this up, whatever it is,
And so you're just gonna get on Tinder or Hinge

(26:39):
or you know, bumble or whatever, and you're gonna match
with somebody and invite them, and they're gonna come to
the wedding.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I've never met.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
You, you have no context, you don't know anybody there,
and I got to pay for that simply because you
don't want to come by yourself. I know, I kind
of feel you on that.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Actually, yeah, yeah right, I mean no, no, I mean
it's like it's about one hundred and twenty buck.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
To cle averaging.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
So if I have ten single friends and you all
invite people, I'm never gonna see it again. That's a
g that I got to pay for your tender date,
you know what I know. I actually I kind of
see what you're saying with them. But the difference here, though, Maddie,
is that you're establishing that from the beginning, you're saying, hey,
if you're not seeing somebody, you don't get a plus one,
and you're sending the invitation Accordingly, these people just went

(27:24):
back and you know, selectively, then removed people from the
invitation list at the last minute because they didn't approve
of the I don't know they weren't together long enough
or something.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
No, I agree with that that.

Speaker 8 (27:37):
You cannot do.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
All right, Well, Maddie, congratulations. I hope your wedding's great.
I hope your single friends still like you afterwards. Oh no,
thank you, glad you called by.

Speaker 18 (27:46):
See.

Speaker 13 (27:46):
But like I personally, like I know, my single friends
are my friends longer than I've even known my fiance
who's not my husband, right, so, like, I want them
at my wedding. Those are my people. Like they've seen
me through my worst and my best. So I want
them single or not, and I will I will cough
up the money the little one hundred and twenty dollars plate,
you know, for their tender date, if that's what they're
gonna bring. But to be honest, you, most of my

(28:07):
friends wouldn't bring a tender date if they were going
to bring somebody.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
They bring somebody that they're seeing.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
If not, I think they're comping up to come up. Well,
so you have fun with them.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
I think it's about the guests, like you know, comfort too,
like who wants to go like I don't know. I
feel like I'm right, you know, like or at least
give somebody that option, right, that's your choice.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
You know, I'm gonna do it like you did it, Pouline,
except even because so Paulina got married a couple of
years ago, she got married in Vegas. Yes, I did, Okay,
So it was a destination wedding. It was a good time.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Thank you, the iconic with little white wedding chap. Yeah,
it was an Elvis thing. And then the you know
the guy who put.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
It in the air with the ibron, he said, we're
all married.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
And then I want a g movee.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
You rent to the private room at Magiano's, which I
couldn't have been happier because I remember what I ate
at your wedding. I mean too, I don't care anybody
says I remember what I ate at your wedding.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
I don't remember when I ate at my sister's wedding
and some caterer. Oh no, they were coming out with
all the classics. Yeah, oh the zucchini. Still talking about
this to this day. I was excited bought. I see
what you did, because it's like, well, it's a commitment
to go. You had to buy airline ticket, you know,
you had to and you were probably less likely to
get riff raff at your wedding because it was just
going to take that much more effort. I am going

(29:13):
to get married somewhere way further away. If I ever
get married, I'm thinking, yes, yes, I'm thinking as far
away as possible. It's like ooh, you know, and then
the people that I don't want to go, they're not
going to make the effort. And then that you got
invited because I'm a little bit I'm in my you know,
early to mid forties, and which means I know a
lot of people, which means if I ever got married,

(29:34):
then I would have It would be a very difficult
process to figure out who gets to come and who doesn't,
because you know, you get to a certain part of
your life. I think everybody in this room could could
relate to this. Everybody that you know things they should
be at your big stuff but yet you don't. You
may not think that about them. Problems solved. I'm getting
married on an island in the middle of the Pacific.
You've now I'm getting married in Guam. Do you know

(29:58):
where that is?

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know whether I need you there, though, Jason, you
have to go look at the map and figure out
where it is. Will go up in the city, my
last dame retiring.

Speaker 3 (30:14):
You don't stop that, boy, I'm award to God.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, honestly, I've had enough Sabrina Carpenter with that single espresso.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
But Kiki, you.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Got what Double Express nice spread show is on. I
think your mom younger than my mom, But I think
she's beginning to transition into that time of her life
where the craps begin to be fewer and fewer.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Oh no, but no, no, no, no, it'll get worse.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
And I saw that with my nana. But yeah, no,
she's she's doesn't care.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
I know she's in her late forties. You know, I'm
being kind.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
She looks like she did her late It looks like
she's in her early forties, actually her sixties.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Is she really your mom experienced? I joke about this.
I joke.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
I joke with you for the entire time. She's so
pretty about how hot your mom is, but she's a
very attractive woman. But no, okay, well then she's a
little bit behind my mom. But it's kidding, really, and
I love my mom, you know this, My mom is like,
there's no there's no convincing my mom in her mid
sixties that what she's saying won't be accepted the way

(31:19):
she intends it, or that like you're not supposed to
say that.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Yeah, you know, she doesn't care, no, and.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
She just thinks that I'm over sensitive, which I probably
am because I have to do this every day where
if you if you say the slightest thing wrong, then
we have a real problem on our hands where people
dissect every other word you say and then determine what
it meant and then tell you what you meant. So
I guess I am a little sensitive to it. But
there's something that seems to happen to people when they
cross the sixty barrier where I think they just they

(31:49):
just think they've earned the right to do, you know,
just do whatever. Life's more than halfway over, So like
I'll just say what I want.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
And I think it's this generation too, because like, the
way that we grew up is very different from the
way that people are growing up now, and the way
they grew up is extremely different.

Speaker 3 (32:04):
Goodness, my mom's a boomer. I like remind her every day,
you're a boomer.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Well, my mom and my parents, luckily, my whole family
think God doesn't subscribe to a lot of that stuff
from the fifties and sixties. And before you know, the
stuff that they were supposed to when they were growing up,
they've adapted. My mom is one of the most inclusive
allies of all. She doesn't care about much of anything,
but like she also doesn't care about much of anything.
So because of that, you're supposed to know that when
you look at her, you're supposed to know she's a

(32:31):
great human being who's an ally and an advocate. And
then she can say whatever she wants after that, not
like hateful, but you know what I mean, Like she
can say anything. Like she loves to compliment people on
their appearance. She's complimenting them. I think it's a very
nice thing. But she's going to find the wrong person
one time and say something and they're gonna get in
their face about it. And she's only being kind.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Yeah, you don't have the same issue you do. Yeah,
as your mom. Like, I just think that what I'm
saying has I know my intent right, however you take it,
that's a you problem. But my take no, see, and
I love that because I used to feel over here.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I used to feel the same way like I used
to feel the exact same way. We're saying, Well, I
know what I meant, I know where my heart is,
I know where I'm coming from. But I've I've gotten
past the part where then I don't think that you
have to care. I've accepted that like people I don't know,
I've accepted it. No matter what you're intent is, people
are going to take it how they're going to take
it now to a certain extent. That's not my fault, right,

(33:29):
But I can also just avoid certain things, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
No, No, what do you mean?

Speaker 6 (33:35):
It seems like, okay, Jason, one way conversation, Like I'm
gonna say what I think I like is right, and
I don't really care how you take it, But I'm
okaying is right.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
But have you Jason, Jason, have you ever have you
ever said something to someone that you meant entirely as
a kind benign thing. And because of the tone of
your voice or because of that I don't know, inflection
or the pace which you said it, at the timing
of which you said that, someone took it entirely wrong.
And you're like, how did you take that like that?

(34:07):
I think that's what she's talking about. That's what I'm
talking about, Like what and Calein and I have had
probably like fifty hours of conversation about this, but I
have the hardest time with people who go, well, that
made me feel like like when you said good morning
that way, that made me feel like you said you're
a terrible human being and that you should never have
gotten out of bed and don't leave your house anymore.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
And I'm going, would what but good?

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Why?

Speaker 3 (34:31):
Like you want them to do that and not point
the finger at you and go.

Speaker 13 (34:34):
You are at a hole when you said good morning.

Speaker 12 (34:36):
That what you're saying, Well, you're saying that's how it
felt to me. You're not saying you did it on purpose.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Yeah, but like that means but to Jason's points a therapist,
that means that I can I can then interpret anything
you say anyway that I choose, and then somehow you're responsible.

Speaker 12 (34:52):
For that, but you're not deciding to feel a certain way,
and I think that's what you have a hard time with.
You're very pragmatic, like you don't your feelings don't rule
you at all, but some people are very you know.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
I don't know. That's entirely I know what you mean.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
I don't if that's just tell I Drew, But I
My thing is that if I mean something kindly and
it's not, there's nothing controversial about what I said, or
there really isn't to.

Speaker 12 (35:13):
Say controversial, like it's all in the eye of like
everyone runs.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
Something through their own filter.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
We all do it.

Speaker 3 (35:18):
So I can say hi and five people could think
it's different.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Yeah, But I don't get to blow up at you
for saying hi because I didn't like the way you
say it, and people do. And people take that as
well because I interpreted it that way interpreted because that's
how I took it. That's how I get to feel
and I get to own my feelings. And so that's
a you problem, and it's not because like you know,
you catch I need to be aware you catch me

(35:41):
on the wrong day at the wrong time. I need
to be aware that I'm going to be set off
by a lot of things that people don't mean. That's
on me though, right like I got it, I got it,
manifest or this is too early for big words. But
I'm the one who has to figure that out.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Not you. It's definitely I think it's a two way street.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
But I think as I've gotten older, I have realized
that if I say something that rubs someone the wrong
way or hurts them or make it no matter what
it is, I have to take ownership of that and
I have to mend the relationship.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I can't just be like, oh, well, you took it
the wrong way, so not my problem, and we just
like keep on moving. Not that I like hurt you.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
I know I love you for this, but you're letting people.
You're allowing people, Jason, to then just put stuff on you.
That's not If you say something kind or you say
something benign and somehow they're upset with you for it,
they're projecting onto you whatever's going on within them. If
you say you should only get credit for the bad
stuff you say that's bad and I mean bad.

Speaker 3 (36:37):
Is there a middle ground between what you both are saying?

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Like I think, no, I mean it's not like.

Speaker 6 (36:41):
If I say if someone says hi to me, or
I say hi to someone.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
And that is like the extreme. It's like completely off
the road.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
You're also in person that carries a lot of other
people's stuff around. I know this about you, and like
that's that's something you do to yourself. That's unfair because
if you're genuine and get coming full circle here, if
you're genuine and you're kind and you mean well and
someone else makes it poorly, and I'm not talking about
like anything that's gray area. I'm talking about if you
mean well and you were saying well and someone doesn't

(37:08):
like that, then I think it's kind of on them.
And it comes back to what my mom is. None
of this is like bad or controversial or hurtfulinting. She
just doesn't. She'll just say anything and it's just like.

Speaker 13 (37:19):
Yeah, no, yeah, I'm heading that way because I've been
carrying bearing that cross for too long of like taking
people's feelings walking around with them.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Oh did I say this nice enough?

Speaker 8 (37:27):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (37:27):
I gave attitude that I wasn't even attitude, it was.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
Just me replying that's how I talk.

Speaker 13 (37:31):
And now I'm like the bad guy at this point,
I just got to let go otherwise I don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Because you can't fix everybody else's stuff, and you can't
take on everybody else's stuff either, zero.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
One hundred ye. I think it is like killing. There's somewhere.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
Usually there's somewhere in the middle ground, like I you know,
I don't want to go around just saying whatever I
want and hurting people all the time, Like I don't
want to know that, So it's.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Got to be a middle area. It's way street.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Isn't there a differentiation between hurtfull stuff and then stuff
that people might take wrong but you didn't. There's no
it's all the the beholder.

Speaker 6 (38:01):
I might not think I'm saying something that's gonna offend Kiki,
but if I say it, then like I want to
mend that because I may have had good intent, but
if it rubbed you the wrong way, like I don't
want you to then change how you're looking at me
because of what I said to you with a different
like reason of saying it.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Do you know what I'm saying? Like that's and.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
I guess my argument is some of that would be
on me. A lot of that would be on me,
Like if I know you to be a good person.
I know you to have good intent. I know that
you would never I don't actually think you would say
it thing to hurt me intentionally.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I know that.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
So for some reason you said something that was just whatever,
and it hurt me. I need I need to run
that through my filter before I put that on you.
And I think that's the step that a lot of
people are missing, because most people would rather that it
just be somebody else's fault, Like everything they're feeling is
somebody else's fault, as opposed to like looking in the
mirror and going like, hey, maybe I need to work
on me a little bit, or maybe maybe my little
radar is off today, you know, cause again like I've

(38:52):
come in here before where I know, like I'm not
in a good mood, and so I got to try
and force myself to remember you know that, like the
stuff is going to come at me today that you
don't mean that I might not like and that's on me.
I can't stand but you for that, right, especially what
ten years of therapy has done for me.

Speaker 6 (39:09):
Said, self awareness is a spectrum, and everyone's at a different.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Self awareness doesn't exist. Self awareness is at a premium
and I will pay for that up charge for anyone
trending stories will do him next. Good Morning's ever been
left waiting by the phone?

Speaker 1 (39:32):
It's the Fred Show. Hey Vanessa, Hey, Hi, good morning.
Welcome to the show. So waiting by the phone.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
We're trying to figure out if you've been ghosted here
you think maybe that's what happened. A dude named Jerry
might be the culprit. How did you meet this guy?
Tell us about any dates you've been on, and then
where things are now?

Speaker 17 (39:49):
Thanks so much, you guys. Yeah, no, I met this
really cool guy last weekend at a bar. Like we
were just having some drinks and you know, yes for
my number, which was really cool, and you know, this
nice and sort of ship overless and we talked for
a couple of days and then like he asked me
to grab dinner, which was really fun. The date was
going well, conversation was flowing, like we were totally we

(40:11):
were totally hitting it off, you know what I mean,
Like just totally nice guy, totally normal, had some food,
asked me to go back to his house and we
hung out and like nothing happened. We didn't hook up
or anything like that. We just sort of watched a movie.

Speaker 15 (40:23):
It was really.

Speaker 17 (40:23):
Casual, like I don't I had I thought I had
a great date with him, and I just I haven't
heard from him at all and he doesn't like text
me back or answer my text.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
I mean, this all sounds good, right, I mean, you
go have a good time, good chemistry, good conversation, wind
up hanging out.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
You know. Yeah, I mean that all sounds good.

Speaker 17 (40:42):
Yeah, nothing even happened like it was just like really
like a really good first date totally just like buy
the book, and I don't know, I thought we could
be really keep together. We had a lot of similar interests.
So it's just kind of tough out there.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
Every time, Yeah, everybody out here trying to find somebody.
It's like when you feel like you had to connection
some place and then don't call, it's frustrating. So that's
where we come, and we're gonna call this dude, Jerry.
You'll be on the phone. We'll see if we can
get him on the phone. We'll ask some questions. At
some point, you're welcome to jump in on the call.
And the hope, as always is that we can straighten
things out, figure out what's going on. Maybe he's been

(41:18):
busy or sums up and then we set you up
on another date that we pay for.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Okay, awesome, thank you.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Let's see what happens next. Part two of Waiting by
the Phone after this song on the Fred Show. Good morning,
It's the Fred Show. Part two of Waiting by the phone. Hey, Vanessa, Hey,
let's call this guy Jerry. You guys, you met in public.
You met in the wild, right, that's how this happened. Yeah,
you met in the wild and then you exchange numbers
and you want to going out and hanging out, and

(41:45):
you hung out at one of your places and watch
the movie even right, Yeah, this is all good on
the first date, except you can't get ahold of this
guy Jerry, and you want to know why.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
So we're gonna call him. Good luck, Thank you, Ella.
Hi is this Jerry Jerry? Good morning. My name is Fred.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
I'm calling from 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 this call. You can hang up any time,
but can we chat for just a second.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
I did think about me. I want something cool or something.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Well, I always say no, I always say no, but
actually this could work out an abrupt no too. Now, man,
this this could work out well for you. We're gonna
find out right now. But we're calling on behalf of
someone you recently went on a date with. Apparently, her
name is Vanessa. Do you remember Vanessa?

Speaker 1 (42:39):
Yeah? Yeah, I remember.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
All of a sudden, the winning aspirations are. So what
happened with this woman? Because she called us and and
she told us that she met you and thought there
was chemistry and went out with you and had a
great time and really expected that you would call her
and ask her out again. But she believes she's being ghosted.
So what's your side of the story, Jerry? I mean,
I guess I could have handled it a little better.

(43:01):
But she's she's cold, man, She's just made a stone.
And I mean, what do you mean, Like, what do
you mean? Give me an example of why you feel
this way?

Speaker 19 (43:12):
Okay, So we went out right and we met at
a bar. We had fun, YadA YadA, you know, for dinner.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
That seemed to go well.

Speaker 19 (43:21):
And then at some point during this interaction, she told
me that she had never seen.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
The movie Titanic.

Speaker 19 (43:27):
How was that possible, Like, how could you have never
Like I didn't believe her.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
So I'm glad that was impressent for that conversation because
if Klen had heard that, we would have had to
evacuate the building. We would have had a real scene
on our hands. Because that is it's just a part
of being, I think, just a human being. Yeah, well,
I would say worldwide. I would say I wouldn't even
I wouldn't even isolated, isolated to just that. I mean it,
she's part of part of breathing. He's seeing Titanic. She

(43:52):
had never seen Titanic.

Speaker 19 (43:54):
Jerry, Well, the Titanic event is not an American event,
like it happened in international waters.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Everyone's aware of it, like you're a major Yeah, it
was a major world catastrophe at the time.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Yeah, yeah, did you multiple multiple governments or whatever ships
went to try to like help the survivors. Talking about
the movie, it was talking about the historical implications. But
you know, I mean, Leono DiCaprio was not actually present.
He didn't actually die.

Speaker 3 (44:21):
I don't want to break it to you, but nonetheless, back.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
On track here, which we're still bad at, but listen,
you you wanted to go watch the movie. You're like,
I cannot believe that you have not seen Titanic, So
let's go watch it, right, So we went and watched it.

Speaker 19 (44:36):
It is the saddest movie ever created.

Speaker 15 (44:42):
I know.

Speaker 19 (44:42):
Some might say the the what's the old yeller where
the dog gets shot?

Speaker 1 (44:46):
This way worse?

Speaker 6 (44:47):
Right spoiler alert, Well you've had like you described itself terrible,
but wait to watch.

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Yeah, so you did not listen.

Speaker 19 (44:58):
She did not ship a single tear watching Titanic?

Speaker 1 (45:02):
What not?

Speaker 19 (45:03):
Not when like, dude, you know, when like the mom
is reading the book to her kids as the ship's
going down, or like the old couple in the bed
the water's coming through and you see them this gripping
like you.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
Know they're dying.

Speaker 11 (45:16):
Came.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I was about to cry right now description of the movie.
And you're telling me this woman Vanessa had in zero
emotional reaction, none.

Speaker 19 (45:24):
Cry as a bone, her eyes were I'm telling you,
the didn't shadow single tear.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
I mean not, what Come on?

Speaker 16 (45:36):
That's you're You're inhuman, You're a sociopath.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
Come on, you're not.

Speaker 4 (45:43):
How to do like what It's a movie. You know
that you know it happens.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Have emotions? Are you free from emotionally.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
I mean, I will say, I mean I'm an emotional
guye Jerry, but I don't cry as much. It takes
a lot. It takes a lot for me to cry.
It doesn't mean that I'm emotionless. It just means that
Titanic's not going to make me cry.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
I don't think she.

Speaker 16 (46:05):
Didn't even get mad when he didn't. She didn't let
him up on the door. Plenty of room on that door,
plenty of room on that door. No, probably could have
put some kids on there too, but didn't care. She
didn't care.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
Doctor off and she was like, all right, nothing, well.

Speaker 3 (46:21):
The necklace out of the jacket and gives his last name.
Jack's last name is her own. When she says Dawson
Rose Dawson, no tears.

Speaker 2 (46:31):
I'm about to cry dramatical re enaction. Let me bring
up Jerry. I forgot to mention that Vanessa is here. I'm
very forgetful about this Vanessa. I mean no emotion with Titanic.
He believes that you are made of stone. He believes
that you're emotionless, and that's a problem for him.

Speaker 17 (46:48):
I've been listening to this and I'm just like my
jaw is like dropped open. You cannot possibly be serious.
That's the reason you're not more shocked at this.

Speaker 19 (47:00):
And you're having more emotions to this than.

Speaker 1 (47:03):
The band was playing. Oh yeah, right, what nothing? There
is nothing.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
It's because I would be all seriousness.

Speaker 12 (47:14):
I would be I would be interested to know why
someone had no emotion for one of the saddest movies
of all time.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
What are you You just crashed?

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Yes, yes, you know that point.

Speaker 19 (47:30):
You know that point in the movie where like the
ship breaks in half and you see like the guy falling.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
And we saw the part and like you mentioned, we
got it, Jerry, Like I appreciate the Rotten Tomatoes review,
but like we he yawned right, no.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
When that happened she was born.

Speaker 17 (47:49):
I just I mean, if you didn't like me, why
didn't you just say that?

Speaker 1 (47:52):
I mean?

Speaker 17 (47:52):
And also, I know what happens on the Titanic. It's
not something that is a huge surprise. The movie was fine,
but like you and not be telling me that.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
That it is?

Speaker 16 (48:02):
That is that is so I like to until I
found out you were so sypathic.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
And I have.

Speaker 2 (48:08):
To say this, Jerry, if she had just sat there
and sobbed on the first date and uncontrollably emotional about
this movie. Then you'd probably be complaining about that. So
I don't know that we necessary Well, I feel like
you're I feel like you're go on a step too far.
You're saying that you know if her heart grew two
sizes of like the Grinch when she was watching it.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
That's man.

Speaker 17 (48:31):
You put Titanic on and you're looking at the cryometer
on me to see like where I fall. Like, is
this your sort of like your data monighty tool that.

Speaker 1 (48:39):
You use to like date women.

Speaker 17 (48:41):
This is the most ridiculous, Like, we need to grow up, dude.

Speaker 19 (48:46):
I've never met someone who's never seen Titanic, let alone
someone who watched it and was completely unaffected.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Did you met.

Speaker 17 (48:54):
Someone who stares at someone for their reaction to a
movie like a creep?

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Did you, Jerry? I mean to know, were you emotional?

Speaker 20 (49:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I have a heart. It beats and therefore I cried.

Speaker 17 (49:06):
Oh my god, im when you didn't respond to me.
I had a lot of emotion when you left me
on Red. Does that also factory in or is it
only just like a Hollywood thing where you actually feel,
you know, momentum of anger?

Speaker 1 (49:19):
What is going on?

Speaker 8 (49:20):
With it.

Speaker 1 (49:20):
I mean, okay, are you embarrassed as you cried? Jerry?
Is that what this is? That she didn't cry and
you did and that's the issue. No, not at all.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (49:28):
I don't think that emotions are bad. They just are
what they are, right. I'm not saying like like.

Speaker 19 (49:34):
Men should be able to cry, that whole old stereotype.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
Oh no, dude, shod never cry. That's that's why guys,
Di had heart attacks of like you know, at thirty
eight or whatever. Like that's just ridiculous. And now we're
learning about medicine.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
So do any movies make you cry?

Speaker 1 (49:49):
Girl?

Speaker 3 (49:50):
Anything?

Speaker 1 (49:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 17 (49:52):
Old Yeller thinks for the spoiler, guys.

Speaker 1 (49:59):
That was the most most we've heard from her.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Actually she is capable of that's actually twisted and I'm
starting to see it side. I don't normally pivot in
these things. But all right, Jerry, thank you for answering.
I'm assuming that you don't want to go out with
her again. We'll pay for it if you do.

Speaker 19 (50:17):
I mean, we're gonna go see Bambi and she's gonna
laugh at the beginning of.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
All right, Jerry, I wish you the best. Vanessa, thank
you for calling. I'm sorry, it's not going to work out.
Could look to you as well. It is the Freend Show.
Good morning, Thanks for having us on the radio. On
the iHeart app live at anytime. Search for The Fred
Show on demand. All right, So Caitlin has a uh,
she has a think. She has a thought about hotels
because we're staying in a hotel this week on our

(50:46):
little field trip. It's our little little romantic getaway. Yes,
and and you believe that there are certain things that
should not be in hotel rooms.

Speaker 9 (50:54):
Yes, Like Okay, So I'm going to start with a
positive because you know, you're captain positivity and you're inspiring me.

Speaker 2 (51:02):
Bet you No, I'm glad that you've noticed. I think
I've been extremely positive. Why is that you have a
look on your face like you're not kidding? I mean,
I've been way more positive than you, guys.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
I know that's you're more positive than me.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
I not honestly, which isn't saying much.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
But I've really I've been trying really hard and we're
like forty days into the month and it's been a
really really difficult year so far. So for me to
like stay above water with the positivity thing, at least
eighty seven percent of the time. Yep, it's pretty good
now that thirteen is it's so low. It's a low place,
but you know anyway.

Speaker 9 (51:36):
So yeah, so I'm starting out with a positive. I
will say our hotel has wood floors, does your room Jesus?

Speaker 15 (51:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:41):
Okay, well by what you mean it's more of a
plastic wood. Well it's getting more like machine made.

Speaker 3 (51:50):
But still yeah, positive.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
It's not carpet from the nineteen sixty It is not.

Speaker 9 (51:54):
I think carpet is discussing in general, let alone like
being in a hotel room and thinking about all like
skin cells or whatever's on that car.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
But I know, I'm sorry. So that's a positive.

Speaker 9 (52:04):
But the negative is there are shower curtains, and I
don't think a hotel should ever have a shower curtain.
And it's not like a good curtain either, and it's
just creeps me out and like whose butt cheeks have
rubbed up against it when they drop the soap.

Speaker 6 (52:19):
I have a question because I don't know if I'm
doing it right, are you Am I supposed to split
the two halves or no?

Speaker 9 (52:24):
Yes, but it wasn't built properly, so look, it gets
wet on the floor.

Speaker 2 (52:29):
Wait, an, you don't know how to work a shower
This is the least surprising thing ever. You didn't know
how mountains work. Okay, so you don't know how to
work a shower curtain.

Speaker 6 (52:39):
No, but like when there's the two like there's the
two layers or whatever, are you supposed to split like
I've been splitting one, yes, but then it gets all wet.
But it's clawed, it's not made. It's not like drying material.
It's clearly what I saw the point of it.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
It may get wet, but the point is that the
water would hit the curtain and then run down it
and stay on the inside.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
I'm doing it right, but it's not working the way.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
But it's not supposed to like get out of.

Speaker 6 (53:01):
Ry quickly, like I have a plastic shower curtain at home,
like like a water right, you know what I mean?
This is cloth like it's still like like my shirt, like.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
My shirt is like feels like the shower curtain.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
So you're anti shower curtain. I'm very thankful you're happy
with the vinyl floors.

Speaker 12 (53:19):
Yes, and now I have not used the TV, but
the size of the TV is nice.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
I've been using my iPad, but the size is nice.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Yeah, that's pretty normal.

Speaker 2 (53:27):
I have an ad in television at home, and I
still watch on my tange iPad watch everything. I don't
know why, Like literally, I'm sitting in the same room
with the gigantic television, but I still watch everything on
an iPad.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
I don't understand that.

Speaker 9 (53:39):
There's iPad shows and there's like TV, Like I wouldn't
watch like the super Bowl on an iPad at home,
but I'm more of a.

Speaker 2 (53:45):
Live TV guy. And then I watch everything else on
a small, tiny thing, which is why my I'm sure
my eyesight will it will be gone soon. Okay, so
you don't want a shower curtain, but you got to remember,
like these are tub showers, so what are they supposed
to do?

Speaker 9 (53:58):
Whatever they did, do something different because, like Jason said,
even though it's supposed to keep the water off from
the floor, it doesn't and it's stopping what And I
don't know if somebody's yabos rubbed against it.

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Like mine, that room for a germophobe.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
I've had to let Jesus take the wheel for hotels
for my whole life because that's been a hotel room
for fifty years. I mean that hotel is probably building
the seventies and it's been remodeled, but like that that
room has been a hotel room for fifty years, so
they're never gonna they can burn the building down and

(54:34):
probably still the DNA would be lingering somewhere. So there's
no way around it. Like I'm not worried about a
shower curtain or floors or it just is what it is.
You walk in the room, it just is like there's
no way around it. Yeah, can you only imagine in
fifty years what's happened in that building. They're ghosts everywhere.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
Yeah, there is a microwave though, Kiki, I could.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Because you know, I've thought about this, you know, as
we talk about hotels, I've never woken up in a
hotel and thoughts to make a cup of coffee. So like,
let's take the coffee machine out, Okay, take all of
that mess off the top of there, put the microwaves back,
get us some glass shower doors and move on.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
But how do you put a glass shower door in
a tub shower? You don't. We're not gonna need a
tub shower, like taking a tub? Who's taking a.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
Tub I wanted to take a tub, and I was like,
oh my god, I can't.

Speaker 16 (55:26):
I won't.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
I won't, I won't. But I love a tub.

Speaker 17 (55:29):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
I love to take a tub.

Speaker 2 (55:30):
And I think the coffee thing is like, okay, you
know here it is. I don't have to go downstairs.
I don't have to buy it. It's free.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Do you use it? Have you ever?

Speaker 15 (55:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (55:41):
In my thirty years of life, I've never woken up like,
you know what, I'm gonna use this coffee machine, this sugar,
this little stir thing.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
We don't need because it's water. It just tastes like water.
It's not good. You tried it?

Speaker 4 (55:52):
Yes, I get very upset.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
If it's not in the room like I want to know.

Speaker 6 (55:55):
I want it.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Yeah, I just want it there for the aesthetics.

Speaker 13 (55:58):
But I will not use it because I'll still go
to get Starbucks cause I go to the lobby whatever,
get Duncan.

Speaker 2 (56:02):
Oh yeah, you want it there for these they're so attractive.
I've also heard that people use those things to boil
water to like cook in and people do crazy stuff.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
What people use the irons to cook To give us.

Speaker 4 (56:15):
A microwave and we won't have to do.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
This Well, that's another thing is I looked inside that microwave.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
I did know.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
I don't want to see what we were working with.
And I'm like, you know, like I think I found
a dinosauragon there, Like I don't know.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
We need them, right, And don't cook in your hotel room.
You're sick for that.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
Come on, people.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
People do a lot of things to adapt when they're
on the go, and it concerns me a little bit.
Like I've heard of people cooking with the iron, like
making like Benini sandwiches with the irons.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Yeah, don't do that.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
This country.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Yeah, I mean it's a hack. You know what other
hecks have I seen? You know how the curtains at
the hotel never really connect? They never truly connected. So
if you go in the closet they have the hangars
have the little hooks on or the little clamps on
the bottom of them, you can clamp your pants on.
You use the clamps to then seal the curtains together.
But why do the curtains not connect? Like who mismeasured

(57:13):
for the whole hotel because they ordered those all at
the same time. Yeah, so why do they never connect?

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Like did know? Like people just gas it's supposed to be.
The size looks like eighty inches to me. I don't
I don't know. They want you up, they want you awake.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
You can't sit the day away.

Speaker 2 (57:30):
There's also a hat to make your room even colder.
But it's like it looks like a like a Contra code,
like if you played Contra and Nintendo Aba B. You know,
it starts like starts like up down, updown. There's a
way that you can like get into the maintenance mode
of the thing, push a bunch of buttons, and then
you can override whatever settings they have and make it

(57:50):
even colder. The problem is you can break the ac
that way.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Can you do that here? Because I'm sweating in the
radio station?

Speaker 2 (57:56):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Well no, because it's on fire.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
So yeah, and you started it learned a place there?

Speaker 1 (58:01):
I did, I tried.

Speaker 2 (58:02):
I can't believe you made that confession this morning. We're
never gonna get invited back here. You started a fire.
You're the reason nobody knew that.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
All right, you ruined the tour.

Speaker 2 (58:17):
The world show is on. Yeah, right, it's over. Now,
forget about the new big city. We're getting.

Speaker 11 (58:23):
Order.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
It's a fresh show. It's all right.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
The Honorable is here, Judge Kiki, let's take it away.

Speaker 4 (58:32):
Let's get in the courtroom. The gavel has been hit.
This case says, hey Kiki, my name is Pam, and
I need you to keep it real with me about this.
My daughter is a senior in high school and she
landed her first job at a we'll say a local
fast food restaurant. I was against it at first, but
she promised me that she would not let it affect

(58:53):
her school work. And after a month or so working
there after school, I noticed that when I would go
pick her up from time to time, it got later
and later each week. Sometimes she wouldn't clock out until
ten pm, although her scheduled time was from four pm
to nine pm. When I asked her why she was
clocking out so late, she kept saying, my boss said,

(59:15):
I can't leave until my prep work is done. I
told her that I'm not okay with her working that
late and to tell her boss that she has to
leave by nine o'clock to get ready for school.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Well, it only got worse.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
My daughter started taking uber's home and would not come
in the house sometimes until eleven PM. So I finally
had enough. I went to my daughter's job and confronted
her manager. It went bad real fast when the manager
told me, ma'am, you don't work here and you will
not dictate how I manage my employees. We had a
tense exchange and I left. But when my daughter returned

(59:49):
to work, she was fired and the manager completely threw
me under the bus. And now my daughter is mad
at me. She hasn't spoken to me in weeks. And
although our agreement was that her grades would couldn't slip,
and they haven't. As a mother, I still feel that
I did what was right. What do you think made
judge Kky? Well, okay, she's a senior in high school.

(01:00:10):
I don't know she's seventeen eighteen years old exactly. And
I know for you and I, at sixteen, we were managers,
that's right, Yeah, like I was. I was a manager
at KFC.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Have you know I was managing a Blockbuster video I
was sixteen years old.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
I was the assistant manager.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
There was a store manager, but I did have a
key to the store and a coach of the safe. Yes,
at sixteen years old, which seems really like a terrible
idea in retrospect, But yeah, you know, I.

Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
Was managing like X cons, you know, shout out to them, and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
You know I had I had grown men and women
who I was mad. How must that have felt in retrospect,
By the way that you go to work in a
sixteen year old it's telling you to mop the floor
or go put those videos back. I never really thought
about that in retrospect. How ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Anyway, So at that age, though, we took on those
responses abilities, and I feel like everything I did at
that age shaped me to be the responsible, somewhat responsible
adult that I am today. And so I can see
if your daughter was fifteen sixteen, then maybe going to
the job to intervene is okay. But at this age, Mom,
she's getting ready to go off to college, she's getting

(01:01:17):
ready to start her life. You can tell her how
you feel, and you can tell her what you will
allow in your household, but to go to her place
of business, to me, is just overbearing and unnecessary. And
I think you crossed the line with your daughter and
you didn't let her make her own decisions to kind
of manage her life and figure out how to be
an adult. And I think what you're doing is just
gonna cripple her in the long run. You can't go

(01:01:39):
up to her job every time she's into it with
her boss or she doesn't like well you know what
I'm saying, Like you have to teach her how to
handle that.

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
Well, you guys are the jury eight five to five,
five nine to one, what oh three five? You can
call it text the same number eight five five five
what oh three five? That's where for me going to
the to the job and talking to the boss, that's
where I went sideways. Like you can say to your kid,
here are the hours that I'm okay with you being
out right, and so you need to find a job

(01:02:05):
that fits within that. But like going to the place
and saying, hey, I need you to run your business
differently because I don't want my kid out late is
not probably going to accomplish anything. If anything, it's going
to inhibit your kid from success because they're just going
to probably fire him or her in this case, because
it's like, well, I need somebody to be here until
this time, and so if it's not her, then it

(01:02:26):
needs to be somebody else.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Absolutely.

Speaker 4 (01:02:28):
And you know these managers, they have a business to run,
and when your kid is working there, they're an employee.
You know, they're not your baby, they're not your little girl.
That's an employee. And you know, Jason runs a tight
ship around here, so like I didn't imagine, you know,
somebody's mom coming up to you telling them they can't
work an event.

Speaker 1 (01:02:47):
You know, well, my mom.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Knows it all the time. Actually, she calls uppear and says,
where's the podcast. It's not up here soon enough and yeah,
dms everybody. Yeah, so that actually us, it does happen.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Well, she tells us to get to work, that's true.

Speaker 13 (01:02:58):
Yeah, she's like she said, get up, and yeah, I
love your mama.

Speaker 15 (01:03:02):
Fred.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
Well, I mean, what if you had an employee Jason
who was like whose parent was basically like, I'm fine
with this, my kid working for you. I just needed
to be between these hours.

Speaker 6 (01:03:11):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I think I wouldn't be able
to talk to them like they're not I can't discuss
an employment with someone that's not the employee, especially if
you're an adult. That's where like the line Teeter Totter's for me, Like,
I know she's a senior, so she could be seventeen
or eighteen. I feel like if she's seventeen, the parents
still has a little bit of a right to like
engage in that because they are still the protective guardian

(01:03:33):
of her right, right, But when she's eighteen, like I know,
it's just like a year, so it sounds kind of arbitrary,
but like you're an adult now, like in the eyes
of you know, the world, Like you're an adult now,
so you need to handle it and as a parent,
you can no longer get involved or control that.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Yeah, because Blockbuster Video, which for those of you who
don't know what that is, and sadly there are probably
other people who do. It was it all over the
place and they had you know, you go in there
and you could ran to a movie. This is before
everything was streaming, and they closed at midnight. They were
open I think ten to midnight, And so if you
close the store at midnight, you were there till probably
twelve thirty maybe one. Sometimes we would do inventory. Then
we were there all night. And so it got to

(01:04:12):
the point where my mom's like, I don't want, I
don't need you in a store at midnight with cash, money, right,
and other valuable items when you're sixteen years old. Tell
them that you can't close, which I did, and they obliged.
They worked with me on that, but at the same time,
it wasn't for me to tell them. I mean, I
probably should have gotten fired for that because it's like, well,

(01:04:34):
then that means that of the you know, two other
managers there are that those two have to do all
of the closings because you can't. And I understood her point,
but at the same time, it was like, this is
not good for my ascension at Blacklister Video to district
manager or whenever I was going to be at seventeen.

Speaker 13 (01:04:50):
Yeah, I'm not crazy to be honest about the management
of said plays. And I only say that because if
they know their employee is in high school, like, I'm
not saying it's the responsibility to you kind of teeter
taughter around them.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
But based on their.

Speaker 13 (01:05:03):
Schedule, I would say, okay, maybe I'll schedule you to
this time, knowing you can do your side work only
by this time, or put you for weekends only, because
at the end of the day, I do believe that
that students should be in school. I think majority of
us will had like jobs in high school. I get that,
but now as a mom, I don't know if I'm
comfortable with my daughter working in high school like that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
I really don't.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
I want her to focus on being a.

Speaker 13 (01:05:20):
Teenager, being a kid, getting good grades, and doing what
she got to do in her life, whatever that might be.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
But Paul, you guys say.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
That from the beginning, can't You can't take the job
correct knowing what the parameters are ahead of time. Now,
if the manager changed it, if it was like, well
we agreed to days and now you got me on
at night, well then that's a conversation. But I also
think it's a conversation that the daughter needs to have
and that mom doesn't need to come in there and
handle it. For a lot of reasons. Hey Mike, how
you doing good? How are you guys?

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
Good morning? So this actually happened to you?

Speaker 11 (01:05:50):
Yes, yes, my daughter software only at high school. I
can't play school. She got a job at a local restaurant.
I initially went with her, but I made her do
all the time. And what then demanders started having her
call a kind of pie more than one or two
times a week. I talked to my daughter, I said,
how do you feel about this? You got to handle

(01:06:12):
the situation. I'm not gonna step that. I see the
mom's point, how is there city? But you cannot get
involved like that, embarrass your daughter like that. You've got
to learn how to deal with these situations.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
I agree with.

Speaker 11 (01:06:26):
The mom didn't cut here? Was it the store?

Speaker 10 (01:06:28):
Kiky?

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
Another restaurant, a fast food restaurant, very popular one.

Speaker 11 (01:06:33):
I was just kidding because it's your story.

Speaker 1 (01:06:37):
The story only open on Wednesdays.

Speaker 11 (01:06:40):
Absolutely, absolutely, Yeah, So you gotta teach your kids to
handle these situations. They're going to be rough, but that's
only gonna make them grow and learn you can, baby, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
I think you're doing a disservice. I mean, and obviously
when they're young, but seventeen eighteen, yeah, I mean, you're
considered an adult here in many in many ways, so
you you would be doing them a disservice tape to
not let them handle it no matter what happens, because
now would be the time, by the way, to go
in there and say that and get fired. Honestly, if
you're seventeen years old, not that that's a good thing,
Like you still live at home whenever, whenever you're stand

(01:07:14):
on your ground, if you're gonna get fired, like now's
the time, I suppose because you're your parents are you know,
you got a place to sleep hopefully whatever else.

Speaker 1 (01:07:21):
Thank you, Mike, have a great day.

Speaker 11 (01:07:24):
Hey I'm number one. I'm number one. Then I'm telling
you from day one I was you.

Speaker 1 (01:07:28):
Guys, Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:07:29):
I'll let you and uh and I'll let you in Danida,
the undisputed listener number one of thirteen. I'll let you,
guys fight it out.

Speaker 11 (01:07:37):
But trust me, I have a great thing.

Speaker 2 (01:07:39):
Okay, Mike, those words those are if you're new to
the show. We only have thirteen listeners. We've only ever
had thirteen listeners. They keep putting us on different places.
We still only have thirteen listeners. But even listener number two, three, four,
Aaron mccavey, Meal, west Loop, Tom Missus Genessee, and the
aj even they agree that Danide is listening number one.

(01:08:00):
So the fact that Mike is coming in here out
of nowhere, I'm not really hot like that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:06):
I just don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:08):
And then of course we only have two listeners or
three we think, but two in Salt Lake City, Jerem
and when Bendy, so we we actually know them personally.
That's where we're at, you know, this is the stage
that we're at now. So today's our first day in
West Palm Beach. If you listening, then go ahead and
give us a text, and then you could be the
first and only person listening. If you text us, there's
a good chance. So there are zero people letter week.

(01:08:30):
I was told that we are on the air in Florida.
I was told that doesn't mean that anyone has us
on the air. So, Hi, Natalie, how you doing Natalie? No, sorry, Rosalie.
I'd rather go to the Rosalia first. Natalie can wait, Natalie,
be patient, Rosalia, you go first, Hi, Rosalia.

Speaker 3 (01:08:51):
But yeah, Hi.

Speaker 2 (01:08:53):
See now there's the time when I tried to get
fancy with him again and Rosalia and I just said
it wrong. Anyway, Rosalia, they got to put something informatics
for me on this thing, so I don't screw it up.

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
What did you want to say?

Speaker 3 (01:09:06):
Agreed with Kiki one percent.

Speaker 14 (01:09:08):
I can't embarrass your kids like that. I have been
working since I was fifteen. I've have been in a
situation on the other end of that. If my were
my parents were definitely upsetted working late and affecting my grades.
But if my parents came to my job and did that,
I definitely would not be motivated to get a different
job at that age.

Speaker 18 (01:09:29):
But my advice to the mom and new mom of
two now, especially girls, is open just have her If
I was bothering her daughter working late, affecting her grades,
she should have an open communication with her daughter saying, hey, listen,
I know.

Speaker 14 (01:09:47):
You're working very late.

Speaker 3 (01:09:48):
Please talk to me if something's going on there. Let's
have that open end communication.

Speaker 14 (01:09:53):
So if something is occurring that is inappropriate or whatever
the case may be, she would be comfortable enough to
go to her mom and you know, resolved. That's when
I would step in and go to the manager, and
you know, all hell would break loose should you too,
something else going on? You know, that is just outside
of working her responsilities.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Well, and I doubt, by the way, if if the
boss wasn't agreeable to the employee, you know, expressing her concern,
then mom coming in over the top probably wasn't going
to change his mind. If anything, it's just like, oh great,
now I get to deal with two of them. Never mind,
I'll find somebody else, right exactly, Yeah, thank you, Cindy.
Excuse me, Rosalia, have a good day. I'm like very

(01:10:36):
distracted today. I got so many people calling. Yeah, a
lot of people call Rosalie, Cindy for sure, but let's
Natalie Now, Hi, Natalie.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
I don't know. It's just a lot of blinking things
in my face and I'm very I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Hi. Hi, What did you want to say? Kikey's Court,
by the way, uh in synopsis keiki.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
Yes, this woman, ma'am spout out the band.

Speaker 1 (01:10:57):
It's concerned.

Speaker 2 (01:10:58):
Her daughter was working at a fast food restaurant but
working really late, and she wasn't comfortable with that. So
she eventually went in and spoke to the manager on
behalf of her daughter, and that did not go well.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
Yeah, she got our daughter fire from my first job.

Speaker 2 (01:11:11):
Because you didn't want a daughter at a fast food
restaurant till eleven twelve o'clock at night.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
What do you think?

Speaker 15 (01:11:15):
Well, So, when I was seventeen, I started a job
because I wanted to be as independent as possible, and
my parents were fully on support of that, and they
were always said that they were going to be in
the background if they always if I ever needed them,
but I was going.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
To resolve my own problems.

Speaker 15 (01:11:32):
By the time I was eighteen, I had three jobs.
One was an externship that I didn't get paid for.
And I was in two restaurant jobs and I had college,
So me starting off being independent on my own actually
gave me a boost up. And when I started doing
things completely on my own, And if I didn't have that,
I probably would be very set back by the time

(01:11:55):
I was nineteen twenty and actually doing my own stuff.
But I mean, I can see if it was like
a fifteen sixteen year old and parents, you know, me,
to have like that waiver signed and everything. Sure, but
if they're trying to maybe they're kids forever, they're never
going to grow up.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
Yeah, I think you're right, Thank you, Natalie, have a
great day, you two.

Speaker 2 (01:12:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
No, I think that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
I mean at the same time, though, it's like, if
you don't want your kid out till midnight, then don't
want them apply for a job at a place that's
open until midnight, right, I mean, or just again specify
from the beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
Hey, look, you can take.

Speaker 2 (01:12:31):
The job, but let them know I don't want my
seventeen year old out until when at whatever time, And Crystal,
you make it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
We make a good point. Crystal, good morning, Hey, good
morning guys. Hi, what did you want to say? Good morning,
Hey ki ki, what's that girl? Oh no, you're on there.

Speaker 20 (01:12:47):
Let the record reflec.

Speaker 1 (01:12:49):
Oh you know, and actually get out of here with
your disrespect, you.

Speaker 20 (01:12:55):
Know, because no, no, no, no no, the mother had
spunk you. The mother said, not after nine pm. Okay,
I don't care about ten. I don't care about eleven.
The mother said nine pm. I don't care about anything else.
Nine pm is nine pm. So when I said you

(01:13:16):
get off work at nine pm, that's it, that's all.
The daughter did not listen to my rules. No more jobs,
whether the manager fires you or I fired you, and
listen to my house, my rules and my house.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Now I feel you on that point.

Speaker 4 (01:13:30):
I think the issue is she could have had that
conversation with her daughter instead of going directly to the
daughter's manager, because now you put your daughter in an
awkward situation that she didn't need to be in. You
could have just said, hey, this is it, quit the job,
you know, But now you've gotten her fired and she's like,
now she doesn't even want to speak to her mom anymore.

Speaker 20 (01:13:49):
That's okay.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
You should have listened to me in the first place.

Speaker 20 (01:13:55):
That predicament when you didn't get off at nine.

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
O'clock, Crystal, So this, none of this would have happened
if she had just followed directions to begin with.

Speaker 20 (01:14:02):
Correct.

Speaker 3 (01:14:03):
You embarrassed both of us.

Speaker 20 (01:14:06):
Now your manager had.

Speaker 3 (01:14:07):
To listen to me.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
Listen to Crystal.

Speaker 20 (01:14:09):
Your kids listen about twelve thirteen.

Speaker 2 (01:14:13):
Oh boy, all right, they get they're trying to get
jobs at the fast food restaurant.

Speaker 1 (01:14:19):
I hope you can pick them up at midnight.

Speaker 20 (01:14:22):
I'll be up there too if this happens enough.

Speaker 2 (01:14:26):
Thank you, Crystal, have a great day, Love you. Honestly,
I think it was Crystal's court, to be.

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
Honest with you messing around. I don't think it was Crystal.
I don't think it was kid us court at all.
It is the Friend Show. Good morning.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Thanks for having us on the radio, on the iHeart
app Live and anytime search for the freend Show on demand. Okay,
so Belle's gonna tell her story then either text us
or then she's gonna have to run any other room
and call because our our intern Bellot, she answers the phone,
does many things around here. She's doing a great job.
Eight five five, five nine one one o three five.
But you rode on the sheet today, Bello is something
that really, Uh, I'm worried be Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:01):
So a couple of days ago, I noticed that when
I what is that called?

Speaker 3 (01:15:05):
When you put that, what is that called?

Speaker 7 (01:15:07):
Like, not the windshield wiper but the fluid flu Yeah,
the spray and it was out and it was out.
And usually I make Ben do what's my husband do?
All like the car stuff, but I was like, you
know what, I'm gonna impress him. I'm going to go
to the gas station and I'm gonna do it myself.
So I go to So you were out of windshield
wiper fluid?

Speaker 3 (01:15:28):
Correct?

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
So I went to the water basically, well is it?
I didn't know that.

Speaker 7 (01:15:34):
So I went to the gas station guy and I
was like, hey, can I get anti freeze and for
my windshield? And he was really confused because I thought
windshield wiper fluid and anti freezer are the same thing
because it doesn't freeze, it anti freeze, and so he
stressed me out. He's like, you're gonna ruin your engine.

Speaker 6 (01:15:54):
I was like what.

Speaker 1 (01:15:55):
He's like, you need to know what kind it is?
And I was like, you have to know what kind
of fluid you need for that.

Speaker 2 (01:16:02):
I was sold because you guys were talking about two
different things because anti freeze is used in the engine
and winshield wiper fluid is silky water. Yes, And so
he's like, well, wait a minute, you obviously got this
mixed up. But you so you're telling me and you're
twenty six.

Speaker 3 (01:16:17):
I'm yeah, twenty seven next Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:16:19):
In your twenty seven years of life, you never knew
that anti freed anti freeze every want to say, and
whinshield wiper fluid were two separate things.

Speaker 1 (01:16:26):
I don't know a lot, fred. I did not know that.

Speaker 7 (01:16:30):
I did not, and so when I went home, I
was like, damn, this guy is trying to make a
buck off me. I think he's like trying to get
me to pie something I didn't need. And then my
husband's told me I was stupid and that, well that
that's not nice.

Speaker 9 (01:16:43):
Second, hello, not that I was doing a mechanic who
would not confuse you or take advantage of you.

Speaker 8 (01:16:49):
Hello.

Speaker 3 (01:16:50):
No, it's so far I really am you wanted to
handle it.

Speaker 7 (01:16:57):
I thought it was like I was going to impress
my husband, like I got the anti freeze for the
windshield wiper and.

Speaker 13 (01:17:07):
Tell how to fluid you guys, it's been a week
But isn't that to put that in there? Because I
think my husband did it by accident, because he changed
it in the dark for some reason and he had
to like go to the shop and they had to
like flush it or something.

Speaker 1 (01:17:19):
I think that's what he did.

Speaker 2 (01:17:21):
Yeah, I don't think you want to put that on
your windshield. I mean, look, I don't I don't know
what I'm talking about, except that I know those are
two different things.

Speaker 1 (01:17:27):
I do know that.

Speaker 2 (01:17:28):
But I also love that everyone comes in here and
complains about car problems. And Jason's partner owns a garage.
He is a he's a master mechanic. He owns the gayage.
And for some reason people are like, I don't know
my engine fell out? How will I possibly get this fixed?
Nobody knows how to fix it. It's like someone right, right.

Speaker 1 (01:17:50):
How do I, you know, stay alive? How am I supported?

Speaker 17 (01:17:53):
You?

Speaker 1 (01:17:53):
Guys?

Speaker 8 (01:17:53):
Need?

Speaker 6 (01:17:54):
This needs to be like a you know, circular thing
here happening to support How I keep a roof over
my head?

Speaker 3 (01:18:00):
Okay, I've been there many of times.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
And he won't rip you off.

Speaker 2 (01:18:04):
You don't have to pay well, as we learned, he'll
accept livestock, he'll accept uh, you know, bananas, eggs right now,
he'll take any of the eggs.

Speaker 6 (01:18:16):
Literally, he gets paid him bread from one customer. You know,
it's fine, Yeah, bread too.

Speaker 1 (01:18:22):
I love the one. No, I don't know if I
should say this. I won't say it. I won't say it.
Can I say?

Speaker 2 (01:18:27):
Can I talk about I'm going to be nonspecific. But
there is one customer of mics that owes him a
lot of money, and you frequent a place where this
customer works, and you tip this person a lot of
money to do the job they do because they do
a great job at it. But then somehow they don't
pay you pay the bill. It's like you could tip

(01:18:49):
them the number of the amount of money that the
bill is and then be like, okay, just hand it
back to me.

Speaker 6 (01:18:54):
Right, But I do have to say she is sorry,
Well she she is paid. So there we go, right,
But I'm sure you know something will be broken soon.
But that's why we staged a coup because we were like,
we're not We're not, you know, continuing the cycle until we,
you know, get caught up on our bills.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
And I you know me, I'm supporting Mike. Yes, you know,
people need to pay their bills. What about your person
because I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:17):
So well, yes, you know, well done. A Terra says,
it's just wind decks. I guess, so looks like it
does kind of look like that. And then they said
someone else texted seven and eight they do put anti
freeze in windshield wipe or fluid or it would be slushy.
So you're kind of half right. Don't enable this, don't enables.

Speaker 1 (01:19:37):
Yeah, but we may have to.

Speaker 2 (01:19:38):
I'm gonna write this down. We may have to come
back to this because we're out of time right now.
But and I have a whole list of things that
I found online. There's stuff that people like I guess
just didn't know. And it's amazing to me all the
stuff out there that just people are living there everyday lives,
they grow to be, you know, uh, full, full grown,
fully formed adults. And somehow they dismissed that those are
two different things. For example, someone says, soapy water literally

(01:20:02):
has no soap in it. It's water and rubbing alcohol.

Speaker 1 (01:20:06):
See are you sure? Why is it foam?

Speaker 11 (01:20:08):
Then?

Speaker 1 (01:20:09):
Where is it supposed to fall? Or did I put
anti freezing? You know what? I don't know?

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
Never mind, it's The fread show is on Fred's Fun
Fact Fred's Fun learn so much. I've never heard of
anything like this before. But let's go to South Korea?
Shall we come?

Speaker 5 (01:20:35):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:20:35):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:20:36):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:20:37):
Expect aircraft were forbidden from taking off or landing for
thirty five minutes nationwide in South Korea last Thursday, as
more than a half a million students took an all
important college entrance exam. So this is so serious for
the country that there could be no noise in the skies.
So from one five to one, all domestic and international

(01:20:59):
flights exclude emergencies, were barred from departing or landing at airports.
This restriction ensured students would not be disturbed during the
English listening section of the exam. I guess this is
something that everybody has to take in Korea. Students taking
exams in mathematics, English, and some chosen subjects including National
Natural Science, Social Studies, and other four languages. Five hundred

(01:21:22):
and twenty two thousand test takers at twelve hundred sites nationwide.
But they said, you know what, no airplanes in the
air wow, So that nobody could be distracted. It would
take a lot more than that not to distract me right,
no sudden movements. It smells like something's burning in here,
but it's not. It's just Paulina's hair straight mirror. Because
apparently this is not only a radio station but a

(01:21:45):
beauty salon as well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:46):
Hey man, I gotta do both, okay at the same time.

Speaker 4 (01:21:48):
Come on, that's you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:21:49):
You don't have to, you know, but okay. More frend
