Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fresh Show is on. It's stay or go the way.
It's the same way about vacation spot. Someone texted that too, like,
that's terrible when you say this, this happened to my mom.
My mom was like, my dream trip is x y
Z no joke. Her best friend took the trip without
her YEPI wow, yeah, took her entire family on the
exec trip that my mom specified was her dream trip,
(00:23):
and then didn't invite her to come alone doing that.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, no, not that this woman had any obligation to
invite my mom, but it's like you could have or
pay for her whatever she You could have at least said,
wan't you this is your dream trip, we're planning it.
But I got the inspiration from you. Why don't you
join us? You know, pay your own way or whatever,
but why don't you join us?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Your mom gave her that idea.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yes, yes, yes, So it's the same thing. It was
a very very similar thing where it's like, well, wait, man,
that was that's my dream. Why are you doing it?
I told you about him? Hi, Rebecca, good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Good morning, How are you good?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
How are you guys doing? Do great?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Thanks for being part of the show. Says there Ago,
it's kind of like group therapy here. You you've been
married to this man.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't know for how long.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm not even sure if that's relevant, but you're you're
a married woman and you're having an issue within your relationships.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So what's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, thanks so much. It's so, here's the thing. My
husband and I have been married ten years, and we've
got two kids, and he's he's been working downtown for
quite a while, and of course, with the kids and
their activities and all, you know, keeps them away from.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
A lot of that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
So you know, he's started to look at the idea
of maybe getting a place downtown for the nights when
he needs to stay in because the community's gotten really long.
It's over an hour each way, and it's just you know,
takes a lot out of him, and it's expensive and
all of those things. So you know, it's something we
really can't consider moving right now because the kids are
(01:56):
in school and that's just not really a feasible option.
And you know, he's doing well enough, we're in good shape.
We could really afford to either buy or rent another place.
But the only thing that's kind of you know, it
all sounds great, but you know, with things going on
these days, all of a sudden I had this, you know,
question came up in my mind. I'm wondering, is this
(02:18):
a red FuG? Is something else going on?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Is it normally?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Is what people are doing now because they can.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So this dude's you know, spending what ten plus hours
a week going back and forth that partly alone, going
back and forth from the suburbs wherever you live, to
the city to work. And so this guy, he's like, look,
I'm just going to not do that every day and
I'm going to stay downtown sometimes not Is he start
trying to do this like Monday through Friday or is
(02:48):
he just saying like certain days because this is I've heard.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Of this happening.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Ye know.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Sometimes it just you know, something comes up, it's a
there's a deadline, or there's a client meeting, and something
runs over. By the time he gets home, he wouldn't
even see the kids. So you know, it's reasonable that
you know, it's his time and his it's wear and
tear on him.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, and well, yeah, I know of I actually know
of a guy who used to do this. He lived
in New York and so the every day. Whatever that
process was like, was it was too much, so he
would you know, I think it was like Tuesday through Thursday.
He would stay in the city in like a studio
and he had all of his clothes there and he
could work out he could do what every day, and
then he worked, you know, most of the time, because
the guy was working like seven am to seven pm.
(03:32):
So the idea, I mean, even if he did go home,
to your point, he wouldn't see his kids, he wouldn't
be there for very long, and then you have tear
around to do it again.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So he would work.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think it was Mondays and Fridays from home, and
then Tuesday through Thursday he lived in this apartment and
then he'd go back for So I don't I mean,
it's efficient. I get that. I feel for people. I'm
grateful for people who sit and drab it because you
have to listen to us. But I feel for people
who that is a component of their day, you know,
because it's like you work all day and then in
my mind I'd be thinking and then whatever time I
(04:03):
have to deal with all that, and then I'd wake
up in the morning I have to deal with all that.
So I don't people are texting immediately it's a red flag.
I'm not sure that inherently it's a red flag. Now
I have to ask the question, Rebecca, is there anything
else going on? Do you have any other reason if
he hadn't come to you and said I want to
live in the city during the week, would you have
any other reason to suspect that he.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Was up to something?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
No, I don't really think so. I mean, he used
to travel a lot for work before we had kids,
so I know what that kind of time away is
like too. So you know, it's it's kind of just,
you know, you hear things in the minute. You sort
of say, you know, to a friend, oh, you know,
John's thinking maybe we should get a place in the city.
And then I, you know, we and the kids and
(04:47):
I go in and all of that, and you know,
I saw an eyebrow goal office ask why. So you know,
it's just I don't know why somebody else would even
plant that seed. But you know, all of a sudden,
there's some more information.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Because because I guess if it went from Okay, I'm
gonna stay down there a couple couple nights a week,
so then I'm staying down there for a whole week
and all I got to stay for the weekend too.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know if it if it turns into that, which.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It will, yes, it will.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What we don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'm a conspiracy theorist here, and I don't know that
it necessarily does. I Look, if he's got money like
that and you guys are doing that, well, I could
see it every now and again, like, Okay, so the
guy he's got working maybe a work dinner or something,
and then he doesn't want to drive all the way home,
Like if you got the money like that and he's
and he's that successful that I don't necessarily think this
(05:36):
is a red flag in and of itself, Kiki, How
would this be any different than somebody who's on the
road two or three days a week for their for
their job, which is very common.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, but he's not on the road.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He's not on the road.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
And if you have this much money and income, then
move your family closer to your job. But she just
said that they don't want to move the kids. Well,
get another job or sit in traffic. I feel like
letting him stay out of his home is a big
flag because it starts with okay, he's gonna spend the night.
The next thing you know, the door dash lady's getting
invited inky.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Person as a.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Person who doesn't leave his home and is hoping that
one day the DoorDash lady is going to be my wife,
because that's the only way I'm going to meet somebody.
It hasn't happened yet in a lot of years and
a lot of orders. Okay, look what if they just
they established boundaries and then if he violates the boundaries,
well then I think they have to revisit the no.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't like it. Prolena, you are married one?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I sure am.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, Well he goes to the quote unquote firehouse.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He has to sleep there. He has no choice, save
it lives, right.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Okay, But I don't know what if we found out.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I was a choice.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So there's any number of things. I'm picking up a
shift and he's not. I don't know, I mean, for sure,
all kinds of variables.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I don't think that this is a cheating situation. I
don't think he's gonna have a whole other family. I
just I just see it as the mental load is
gonna fall way more unrepbutd I don't know if you work, Rebecca,
But I see it as like, Okay, it's not a vacation,
but it's a vacation if dad gets to be away
for whatever Monday through Friday or money through Thursday. Because
at the end of the day, yes, he doesn't see
(07:11):
the kids, he gets home too late, but there's still
things to do at home, dudish's laundry, all these things,
and everything's gonna fall on Rebecca.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You know, I've heard that argument before.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Oh but it's real, that's real.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Okay, Well, i'll finish my thought anyway. But yeah, I
hear that. Yeah, but I also you're not giving and
this is a different conversation. I don't think you're giving
the man or the woman on the other side of
that argument any credit when you say that, because you're
assuming let's say this guy has the best intentions, and
let's say this guy really does feel that the commute
(07:42):
is affecting his life negatively. He doesn't get to see
his kids's heirs, he wants to spend a couple of
nights a week, and the thing is that a vacation maybe,
but you're assuming that that dude doesn't want anything to
do with his family and doesn't want to be at
practice and doesn't want to pick the kids up from school.
And I know a lot of folks that wish they
had that opportunity they don't. I don't think it's fair
to say that a parent who's not at home doing
(08:03):
the parenting job every day is just off willy nilly
having a great old time, because I think there are
men and women out there who wish that they could
be doing one hundred percent. They give that work and
they don't get to do it.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Yeah, and I'm no, I'm not discrediting anything he's doing
because he's making a sacrifice too.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Parenting is sacrifice.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
It's a lot of sacrifices, whether you're at home, you're working, whatever,
it's all sacrifice. But what I'm saying is that there's
still more to do than just you know, drop off
the kids whatever, which she's already missing that, and I'm
sure it's hurting him. I'm sure it bothers him. Like
he's a father, I'm sure he wants to see his
kids go to practice and dribble the ball and do
all these things. I'm sure he wants to see that,
but he can't as of right now with his job situation,
he can't do that, he can't be there, but he
(08:44):
still needs to come home at night and still be
a husband still, you know, be a part of this household,
because I do believe even though he works full time,
he works a lot, he saw us to contribute to
the home.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Reck.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Let me take some phocos on this and thank you
for calling. Have the radio wanting good luck?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Thank you? Three five? Check that phone.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Oh my god, no it's not I I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like I have a friend who's a pilot, and he's
been a pilot his whole life, and for twenty something
years it's been an issue in his relationship because it's like, well,
I have to drive the kid to school every day
while you're in you know, santrope or whatever. And he's like,
you know what, I am in santrope because I fly
for a gazillionaire who wants to be in santrope. But
I also don't get to sleep in my own bed.
You're not here, My kids aren't here.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Do you want me to sit in my room for
a week and cry?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But but like yet I'm sending you, you know, the
life that we're living is provided by this job. So
you're right, I didn't have to sit in the pickup
line today and I didn't have to go get groceries.
But what is the alternative, right, because you know, he's
married to a lovely woman, but like there's no income
coming from that side, and he's not discrediting. That's the
(09:57):
biggest thing for me is he doesn't discred how hard
her life is either.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Exactly, that's a good man.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Exactly a good man.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's exactly the opposite of what you were just complaining about. No,
I'm not He is not discrediting what she does. So
why does she get to discredit what he does simply
because they might at times wish that the roles were reversed.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
I don't think that Rebecca, our caller, is discrediting her husband.
I just think that she, in my opinion, would prefer
her husband to come home at night.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I know it's hard. The commune is a pain in
the ass, it is.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't think Rebecca is.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I think the argument that he can't stay in the
city because he's not doing anything at home and she
has to do all of that is discrediting potentially what
he's doing to provide for the family. Is well, they're
both making sacrifices.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That's what I'm saying. They're sacrifices. But I still think
he needs to come home at the end of the night.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
He doesn't live in a different city that's different, then
he really can't come home.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Hey Lindsey, Yeah, high Lindsay, good morning. Hey what'd you
want to say?
Speaker 9 (10:52):
So, I don't think it's a go situation. I think
it's just communication. He had this show obviously before they
had kids. They knew what it did care so he
knew he was going to be leaving early homely, but
me having three children and my husband leaving before, Like,
he was gone at five o'clock this morning, and no
one has seen him fro yesterday morning just because of works.
But if he doesn't come home and kids his kids
(11:14):
and while they're sleeping and get in better with me
because I myself am trying, baby, it would be it
would be a problem. But yeah, he he you know,
he provides, He brings home the money, she does all
the stuff. But he, you know, should know that he
should be coming home every night, regardless of the drive.
It's not like he's in a different state. He should
be coming home, whether it's to pick up a little
(11:35):
bit asna and do whatever he needs to do. But
you're a family, You're a unit. You come home and
you you start your day in the morning off from home,
and you come home at night to home to your family,
whether they're sleeping or not.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Fair enough. Thank you, Lindsey, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Have a good daybody, Yes, thank you you too. Hi Phil,
Good morning Phil.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
How you doing.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
I'm good. How are you guys?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Hey, I'm doing great. If you just tuned in.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
This woman is concerned or once to know if she
should be concerned because her husband of a long time,
who's been making at least an hour drive each way
to and from work, has decided that he wants to
get an apartment or something closer to work so that
he's not making that drive every single day because it's
wearing him out and he thinks he's having a negative
effect on his life. He doesn't get to see his
(12:19):
family on those days anyway. And so the debate is
is this good or a bad idea?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
So I've been doing this for fifteen years. I have
an apartment up in the city, but my home is
three hours away. So the commute is that that's not possible.
But we have four kids, we've been married for twenty
nine years and it works. But because of the distance,
it's impossible. Now given their circumstances with him only being
(12:45):
an hour away, and if they can afford rent or
buying in the city, my suggestion would be for him
to contract a black car service that he could call
when he's ready to come home, because then he's not
doing the driving. Then he can work the drive in
and he can work the drive out, but then he's
home every night with with his kids. You know, the
(13:05):
problem that we see nowadays is everybody says you have
to have a work life balance, and that means you
balance life around work, and that's wrong. You should have
a life work balance where you balance work around life
because those kids are going to be grown up and
out of the house much faster than any time he's
going to spend griping about the commute back and forth.
If they've got the money and it's only an hour,
(13:27):
if it was three hours, I would say, yeah, absolutely,
But if it's only an hour, he should contract a
black car service that can pick him up and deliver
him back and forth every single day, because there's cars
out there that will do that. But additionally, in my industry,
I've seen a lot of guys try this and what
happens is they gain an independence on their own and
(13:48):
they start creating a life on their own outside of
the life they should be having with their family.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, that's an issue. Obviously, that would be a serious issue.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
When it gets doing this. But given the fact that
he's only an hour away, I would say that to
save I mean not only to be there for his wife,
but to be there for his family and to live
like we work to live. We don't live to work,
And so he needs to prioritize it, and he needs
to put the money into hiring someone to pick him
(14:17):
up at his house and take the load off of
him driving, drive him into the city, and when he's
done on a late night, have someone drive him home.
But you know what, he's going to be at home
at night, and he's going to be at home in
the morning and his kids will at least know he
was present.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Thank you, Phil, that's a good idea. Thanks man. Have
a good day that a life coach. It feels good.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I'mired.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I just my issue is if the argument is that
he's going he's going to cheat, or he's going to
disconnect her, he's going to do all these bad things.
I don't necessarily think that's the reason not to do this,
because if you're in a relationship and you trust the
person that you're we talk about this all the time.
It's like, just because he has a place in the
city does not mean that he's to someone's point on
he wants to stab in cabin someone texted.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's not necessarily know And.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
If they can establish boundaries again, you know, ground rules
on this, Hey, once a week, okay, twice a week.
Maybe under these circumstances for these things, if they can
come up with that on their own and then they
can stick to it, then I don't think this is
inherently a problem. But if maybe it goes outside those
lines and then maybe she has to reel it back in,
(15:23):
I don't know. But just for the argument for everybody going, well,
he's not at home at night, then he's not this,
and he's not that.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't know, that's not fair. Hey, missy, hey, I
missed you. Good morning, good morning, how are you hey? Great?
What'd you want to say?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
So?
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Okay, my husband and I we've been together for twenty years.
Speaker 11 (15:44):
We have a beautiful little seventeen year old almost eighteen
year old, and he's been a truck driver for the
past oh, I don't know, fifteen years or so, and
you know, he is rarely home during.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
The week and everything.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Do I automatically assume that he's cheating. Absolutely not, because
I mean you have to have like that trust. He
does come home once in a while when he can,
you know, pops in each shower, sleeps a little bit,
whatever he can do.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
But on the weekend he's always there.
Speaker 12 (16:15):
Taking care of things that have to be done around
the house and taking care of his family. Okay, yeah,
he does feel bad sometimes that you know, he can't
be around and he can't be like involved in like
a lot of her stuff because you know, now that.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
She's growing up and she's stopped the college and everything,
it's a little bit harder. But the man is busting
is behind, working in everything to provide for our family.
And now one single time have we thought, or have
I even thought that he's cheating. Now, if he's going to, well,
good luck to him, because God only knows what could happen.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But yeah, people are people.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Have found much more creative ways to cheevee than to say,
you know, to announce they're getting an apartment to stay
in the city, if that's the concern exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And I mean mine's the.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Talk driver, so I mean he's got a bed right
there in the cab right.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
How convenient.
Speaker 11 (17:08):
Exactly, But like I said, he does come home when
he can, and I mean he's always providing and everything
for us and stuff, and I mean he's still taking
care of stuff around the house. So I mean it's
just I mean, you can't automatically assume that you know
they're gonna cheat on you.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, thank you, missy, have a great day.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
Thank you as well.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Glad you call our problem solve Boom, here you go.
No idea is the thief of joy.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
So like we should never whether it be at work,
comparing who works harder, whether it be in your relationship,
until you walk in someone choose, you just don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And so why are we going down that slipper? Like
what where's the respect for people?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
And how you know, I don't know what your day
is like, but we we both have to do things
to contribute, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I think it's a slippery slope.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The entertainment report is next. You have to drake in
two minutes. It's a fresh show. We're commercial free fresh show.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
This is what's trending.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It's cold. It's gonna be cold. A lot of places
where you can hear us today. A harsh freezing tempers
hit the nation's midsection on Monday, as a polar vortex
gripped the Rockies and northern Plains on the heels of
weekend storms that hummeled the eastern US with floods, killing
at least fourteen people. It's the tenth polar vortex of
the season. The National Weather Service warned if life threatening
(18:18):
cold as windshields dropped to minus sixty fahrenheit in parts
of North Dakota on Monday and minus fifty in parts
of Montana minus fifty wow. This morning was forecast of
even colder. Extreme cold warnings were issued for an eleven
state swath of the US stretching from the Canadian border
to Oklahoma and central Texas, where the Arctic front was
(18:38):
expected to bring near record cold temperatures and windshields in
the single digits. By midweek, meteorologists had predicted the parts
of the US would experience the tenth and coldest polar
vortex event this season, So it's cold a lot of places.
It was cold in Canada yesterday in Toronto, a Delta
Airlines flight forty eight nineteen operated by Endeavor air craft
(19:00):
while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport. The flight was arriving
from Minneapolis with eighty individuals on board, including seventy six
passengers and four crew member. During the landing at approximately
two to fifteen local time, the plane flipped upside down
on the runway and then caught on fire. Eighteen people injured,
no fatalities. And if you look at this thing, it's
(19:21):
amazing that the people survived. It is truly amazing.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I couldn't wrap my mind around how the plane perfectly
ended up on its upside down like that, Like when
did the wing stop?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
It?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
When the tail?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I think did the wing break off? One of them? Yeah,
both broke off. I thought of you.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I was why, because an airplane, an airplane flips over
lands upside down, like man was Frends flying that thing
did over there. I haven't seen him in a while.
I know he's been in Salt Lake City, but like,
did you get a.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Job over there.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
No, no, no, you're my play friend though, Like you
know anything I want to know about an airplane, I can
actually you're by Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't know what happened. I even called a friend
of mine. I was like, what happened? I mean it
was snowy and it was windy, but I mean flipping
completely over.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The incident led to a temporary suspension of airport operations,
which resumed last night.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So there was somebody. There was a TikTok video yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
If somebody sitting at the gate in Toronto on a
plane watching the CNN coverage of the crash and then
looking out the window and there it wasn't look I'm
a pilot, I'm an aviation guy. I might take a break,
you know, if if the plane just slipped over, I might,
you know, grandative everybody had to go home, I guess
because the airport was closed, but I might just say,
you know what, today is not going to be the day,
(20:40):
Like I'm not going to Toledo today. You know, I'm
gonna go home and I'm gonna have a nice coffee
or something and take a nap and I'll come back
later and coffee and take a.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Nap pacafs what bi calf. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'm just gonna have a nice I'm gonna have a
nice stroll this afternoon in the polar vtext and I'm
gonna come back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We'll try this again. Today might not be the day.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm nervous, man.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
No, don't be okay, it's very safe. Air travels very safe.
I know it doesn't look like it lately, but you know,
I thought it was just.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
A bowing thing.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
But no, that's where one of the people in CNN,
one of the you know whatever reporters, said that like
when they look at that, they see that like this
catastrophe happened and like there were no casualties. Like that
just shows how safe the airplane really is. That the
fact that that happened, like whatever. She was like, Oh,
that's a different way of looking at it, but positive way.
It's a miracle. It's like it's a miracle.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And I don't know, I think I think it's honestly,
I think people just got lucky. Airplane flips over, wings
break off, there's fuel on the wings, you know, the
thing didn't burst into flames. It makes amazing like it
truly is I don't want to go through all the
bad things it could have happened, because I'm glad that
they didn't, but no fatalities at all. But I don't
know if they have video of this, because we were
all kind of trying to figure out, like wow, I mean,
(21:54):
you know, because the wind would have to be really
strong to flip a plane over, you know, without without
the pilot being able to do anything to correct it.
So I have no idea. If there's an IRS rebate scam.
It's texts that are going out. This is for you
kick you know, you'd have to file your taxes in
order to actually I don't know if you do have
to file your taxes because it's a scam. The scammers
(22:14):
are at it again, and this time they want you
to believe that they're the IRS. So there are reportedly
text messages going out they say that they have to
that you would need to click a link to receive
a fourteen hundred dollars payment from the IRS. I think
when you know when it says hello, sir or madam,
But that's the first giveaway for me that it's not
exactly the IRS.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
They're not that polite. Plus they don't text. They call. Yeah,
they call a lot, and.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Then when you don't answer, not that I know this
for any particular reason, but if you don't answer, then
they just come take the money.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
They ask you nicely at first, kind of, and then
they don't ask you nicely anymore than they just come
and take him. But the scammers are playing off recent news.
In late December, the agency said it was sending out
two point four million dollars in total to a million
people who didn't get all of their federal stimulus checks
during the pandemic. However, those payments are happening automatically, and
the link in the text takes you to a fake
(23:06):
site that looks like an official website. The IRS is
warning that the only way that anyone will contact you
is through the postal service, never text or emails. They
will call you. People have said they won't call you anymore.
They'll call you.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
I don't think I would believe it if the IRS
called me, I wouldn't like I wouldn't trust that.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It was a long time ago. But I did get
a call from the IRS. Could I was ignoring their
invitation to the audited Oh my god, I didn't really know.
I didn't really realize what was happening, but I I
thought this must be a mistake.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
It was something wacky.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
It was a long time ago, but it was like,
and I have a guy that does my texes, so
I called him. But it was like I deducted something
on a rental property at the time that they said
you can't. I mean they wanted. They didn't want much.
It wasn't a lot, but they were trying to get
me for the penalties. Could I've been ignoring them.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
Just the offshore accounts right, Well they told that about
one of the offshore I had to move some money
around me.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I called Paulina.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I said hey, and then I got banned from Venmo,
just like you for money laundering using Venmo. But then
my my text guy was like, okay, well then we'll
pay them.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But like that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But then whatever it was they wanted, it was it
right off the next year, so it was like, okay, yeah,
write them to check, then we'll get it back next year.
It was like dumb. I don't even remember what it was,
but it was something we tried to do and it
didn't work. I honestly have no idea and it wasn't
that big a deal, but they wanted all these penalties
because I, you know, ignored them.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, I don't want to talk to them. That sounds
I don't want to. I don't want this letter.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Does to sound like you. I feel like you wouldn't
answer that.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I don't know why I was ignoring it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I was like, there's just no way, though, there's no
way this is right, like this a way, and I
just threw it away.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
If I got anything, an audit didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Say that it was. There was a discrepancy of I
think that was the next step though. Anyway, I got
it ill straightened out. But this is a long time ago,
and you know I'm able to vote, then let me
vote again. Now I can vote. A lot of talk
about asteroids lately, guys, And I just want you to
know that the odds of an asteroid striking Earth, they
keep going up. So we got planes slipping over, We
(25:11):
got all kinds of crazy stuff happening.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
We got people being swallowed by by whales, we got
people trying to take pictures with sharks. Did you hear
about this? This is over the weekend, I guess. So
one was trying to take a selfie with a shark.
It bit both of her hands off. Why would we
take a picture with sharks? If you see a shark?
Why are you like, Hey, hold on one a naight,
hey grab the phone, guys, let's take it.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But no, I'm running, I'm swimming fast. I'm running.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, she kind of had the day she deserved at
that point.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
I mean, you hate to see it, but like right,
you hate to see it, but you see it.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And you, guys know, if you've been listening for any
period of time, you know that I believe that I can.
I can reason with most wild animals. I do believe
that a shark is not one of them. No, I
don't believe I can reason when the shark. I also
don't think the shark could hear me if I tried to.
It's in the water, hello, and I'm out of the water. Probably,
But my feet, of all things, don't taste good in
my hands. Don't bite them. They don't even taste good.
(26:03):
It's not worth them, Like I guess, honey, bees if
they sting you don't they die instantly?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, honey, and I see it.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I don't like bees and they swarming around swarming whatever
they're doing, and I'm like, don't even bother, don't sting me.
I don't taste good, and you're gonna die. Yeah, you know,
So that works sometimes with with a bee, with me
reasoning with wild animals. But the chances of an asteroid
hitting Earth in twenty thirty two were going up. A
new estimate from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says the asteroid,
(26:33):
called the twenty twenty four y are four, has a
two point six percent chance of an Earth impact, which
is up from two point three last week. If you
were worried about this, if you're betting on it, like
Caitlin probably is. NASA says that near earth asteroid measures
up to three hundred feet across and has a very
small chance of hitting Earth December twenty second of twenty
(26:53):
thirty two. That said, the probability has been increasing since
the asteroid was discovered weeks ago. In late January, the
chance of a hitting Earth was only one point two percent,
so it's going up quickly. And a therapist who treats
phone addictions Kiki, says that the withdrawal symptoms that people
suffer are similar to those experienced by drug addicts.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yes, oh yes, this is what happened when TikTok went down.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So Lee Fernandez says that in the last five years
he's seen a significant rise in phone, technology and social
media addictions, with one of his recent clients spending between
fifteen and seventeen hours a day on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh wow, really yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
And for those who try and quit, you can suffer
withdrawal symptoms which are as serious as those experienced by
drug users trying to quit heroine, like shaking, sweating, and insomnia.
All jokes aside. You were not shaking or sweating the
insomnia maybe fred.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I was shaking this way. Stop now it's real. I'm
not alone, Jason, I cried. Yeah, it's for real. It
was like I got into an argument with my man.
Like it was just I wasn't my I wasn't myself.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
All because you knew you couldn't look at TikTok. Yes,
oh boy, yes, when did he get you a hobby
or something? No, people gravitate to their phones and social
media for a quick hit of dopamine, a hormone that
boosts your mood. However, he warns that doing this can
actually burn out the rewards centers in your brain, making
it more difficult to enjoy other activities.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Are you able to enjoy life? Yeah? I love life.
Yeah with TikTok.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay with TikTok and National Drink Wine Day Today, The
Entertainment Report will do it next. Blogs after that are
audio journals. It's Tuesday, which means Tuesday stuff, stay or
go Coming up on The Frend Show
The Fresh Show is on. It's stay or go the way.
It's the same way about vacation spot. Someone texted that too, like,
that's terrible when you say this, this happened to my mom.
My mom was like, my dream trip is x y
Z no joke. Her best friend took the trip without
her YEPI wow, yeah, took her entire family on the
exec trip that my mom specified was her dream trip,
(00:23):
and then didn't invite her to come alone doing that.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, no, not that this woman had any obligation to
invite my mom, but it's like you could have or
pay for her whatever she You could have at least said,
wan't you this is your dream trip, we're planning it.
But I got the inspiration from you. Why don't you
join us? You know, pay your own way or whatever,
but why don't you join us?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Your mom gave her that idea.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yes, yes, yes, So it's the same thing. It was
a very very similar thing where it's like, well, wait, man,
that was that's my dream. Why are you doing it?
I told you about him? Hi, Rebecca, good morning.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Good morning, How are you good?
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Thanks?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
How are you guys doing? Do great?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Thanks for being part of the show. Says there Ago,
it's kind of like group therapy here. You you've been
married to this man.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I don't know for how long.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I'm not even sure if that's relevant, but you're you're
a married woman and you're having an issue within your relationships.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So what's going on?
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Yeah, thanks so much. It's so, here's the thing. My
husband and I have been married ten years, and we've
got two kids, and he's he's been working downtown for
quite a while, and of course, with the kids and
their activities and all, you know, keeps them away from.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
A lot of that.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
So you know, he's started to look at the idea
of maybe getting a place downtown for the nights when
he needs to stay in because the community's gotten really long.
It's over an hour each way, and it's just you know,
takes a lot out of him, and it's expensive and
all of those things. So you know, it's something we
really can't consider moving right now because the kids are
(01:56):
in school and that's just not really a feasible option.
And you know, he's doing well enough, we're in good shape.
We could really afford to either buy or rent another place.
But the only thing that's kind of you know, it
all sounds great, but you know, with things going on
these days, all of a sudden I had this, you know,
question came up in my mind. I'm wondering, is this
(02:18):
a red FuG? Is something else going on?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Is it normally?
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Is what people are doing now because they can.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
So this dude's you know, spending what ten plus hours
a week going back and forth that partly alone, going
back and forth from the suburbs wherever you live, to
the city to work. And so this guy, he's like, look,
I'm just going to not do that every day and
I'm going to stay downtown sometimes not Is he start
trying to do this like Monday through Friday or is
(02:48):
he just saying like certain days because this is I've heard.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Of this happening.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Ye know.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Sometimes it just you know, something comes up, it's a
there's a deadline, or there's a client meeting, and something
runs over. By the time he gets home, he wouldn't
even see the kids. So you know, it's reasonable that
you know, it's his time and his it's wear and
tear on him.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, and well, yeah, I know of I actually know
of a guy who used to do this. He lived
in New York and so the every day. Whatever that
process was like, was it was too much, so he
would you know, I think it was like Tuesday through Thursday.
He would stay in the city in like a studio
and he had all of his clothes there and he
could work out he could do what every day, and
then he worked, you know, most of the time, because
the guy was working like seven am to seven pm.
(03:32):
So the idea, I mean, even if he did go home,
to your point, he wouldn't see his kids, he wouldn't
be there for very long, and then you have tear
around to do it again.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So he would work.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I think it was Mondays and Fridays from home, and
then Tuesday through Thursday he lived in this apartment and
then he'd go back for So I don't I mean,
it's efficient. I get that. I feel for people. I'm
grateful for people who sit and drab it because you
have to listen to us. But I feel for people
who that is a component of their day, you know,
because it's like you work all day and then in
my mind I'd be thinking and then whatever time I
(04:03):
have to deal with all that, and then I'd wake
up in the morning I have to deal with all that.
So I don't people are texting immediately it's a red flag.
I'm not sure that inherently it's a red flag. Now
I have to ask the question, Rebecca, is there anything
else going on? Do you have any other reason if
he hadn't come to you and said I want to
live in the city during the week, would you have
any other reason to suspect that he.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Was up to something?
Speaker 4 (04:26):
No, I don't really think so. I mean, he used
to travel a lot for work before we had kids,
so I know what that kind of time away is
like too. So you know, it's it's kind of just,
you know, you hear things in the minute. You sort
of say, you know, to a friend, oh, you know,
John's thinking maybe we should get a place in the city.
And then I, you know, we and the kids and
(04:47):
I go in and all of that, and you know,
I saw an eyebrow goal office ask why. So you know,
it's just I don't know why somebody else would even
plant that seed. But you know, all of a sudden,
there's some more information.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Because because I guess if it went from Okay, I'm
gonna stay down there a couple couple nights a week,
so then I'm staying down there for a whole week
and all I got to stay for the weekend too.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
You know if it if it turns into that, which.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It will, yes, it will.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
What we don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I'm a conspiracy theorist here, and I don't know that
it necessarily does. I Look, if he's got money like
that and you guys are doing that, well, I could
see it every now and again, like, Okay, so the
guy he's got working maybe a work dinner or something,
and then he doesn't want to drive all the way home,
Like if you got the money like that and he's
and he's that successful that I don't necessarily think this
(05:36):
is a red flag in and of itself, Kiki, How
would this be any different than somebody who's on the
road two or three days a week for their for
their job, which is very common.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, but he's not on the road.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He's not on the road.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
And if you have this much money and income, then
move your family closer to your job. But she just
said that they don't want to move the kids. Well,
get another job or sit in traffic. I feel like
letting him stay out of his home is a big
flag because it starts with okay, he's gonna spend the night.
The next thing you know, the door dash lady's getting
invited inky.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Person as a.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Person who doesn't leave his home and is hoping that
one day the DoorDash lady is going to be my wife,
because that's the only way I'm going to meet somebody.
It hasn't happened yet in a lot of years and
a lot of orders. Okay, look what if they just
they established boundaries and then if he violates the boundaries,
well then I think they have to revisit the no.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I don't like it. Prolena, you are married one?
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I sure am.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Okay, Well he goes to the quote unquote firehouse.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
He has to sleep there. He has no choice, save
it lives, right.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Okay, But I don't know what if we found out.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I was a choice.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So there's any number of things. I'm picking up a
shift and he's not. I don't know, I mean, for sure,
all kinds of variables.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
I don't think that this is a cheating situation. I
don't think he's gonna have a whole other family. I
just I just see it as the mental load is
gonna fall way more unrepbutd I don't know if you work, Rebecca,
But I see it as like, Okay, it's not a vacation,
but it's a vacation if dad gets to be away
for whatever Monday through Friday or money through Thursday. Because
at the end of the day, yes, he doesn't see
(07:11):
the kids, he gets home too late, but there's still
things to do at home, dudish's laundry, all these things,
and everything's gonna fall on Rebecca.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
You know, I've heard that argument before.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Oh but it's real, that's real.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Okay, Well, i'll finish my thought anyway. But yeah, I
hear that. Yeah, but I also you're not giving and
this is a different conversation. I don't think you're giving
the man or the woman on the other side of
that argument any credit when you say that, because you're
assuming let's say this guy has the best intentions, and
let's say this guy really does feel that the commute
(07:42):
is affecting his life negatively. He doesn't get to see
his kids's heirs, he wants to spend a couple of
nights a week, and the thing is that a vacation maybe,
but you're assuming that that dude doesn't want anything to
do with his family and doesn't want to be at
practice and doesn't want to pick the kids up from school.
And I know a lot of folks that wish they
had that opportunity they don't. I don't think it's fair
to say that a parent who's not at home doing
(08:03):
the parenting job every day is just off willy nilly
having a great old time, because I think there are
men and women out there who wish that they could
be doing one hundred percent. They give that work and
they don't get to do it.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Yeah, and I'm no, I'm not discrediting anything he's doing
because he's making a sacrifice too.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Parenting is sacrifice.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
It's a lot of sacrifices, whether you're at home, you're working, whatever,
it's all sacrifice. But what I'm saying is that there's
still more to do than just you know, drop off
the kids whatever, which she's already missing that, and I'm
sure it's hurting him. I'm sure it bothers him. Like
he's a father, I'm sure he wants to see his
kids go to practice and dribble the ball and do
all these things. I'm sure he wants to see that,
but he can't as of right now with his job situation,
he can't do that, he can't be there, but he
(08:44):
still needs to come home at night and still be
a husband still, you know, be a part of this household,
because I do believe even though he works full time,
he works a lot, he saw us to contribute to
the home.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Reck.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Let me take some phocos on this and thank you
for calling. Have the radio wanting good luck?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Thank you? Three five? Check that phone.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Oh my god, no it's not I I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Like I have a friend who's a pilot, and he's
been a pilot his whole life, and for twenty something
years it's been an issue in his relationship because it's like, well,
I have to drive the kid to school every day
while you're in you know, santrope or whatever. And he's like,
you know what, I am in santrope because I fly
for a gazillionaire who wants to be in santrope. But
I also don't get to sleep in my own bed.
You're not here, My kids aren't here.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Do you want me to sit in my room for
a week and cry?
Speaker 6 (09:36):
You know?
Speaker 1 (09:37):
But but like yet I'm sending you, you know, the
life that we're living is provided by this job. So
you're right, I didn't have to sit in the pickup
line today and I didn't have to go get groceries.
But what is the alternative, right, because you know, he's
married to a lovely woman, but like there's no income
coming from that side, and he's not discrediting. That's the
(09:57):
biggest thing for me is he doesn't discred how hard
her life is either.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Exactly, that's a good man.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Exactly a good man.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
That's exactly the opposite of what you were just complaining about. No,
I'm not He is not discrediting what she does. So
why does she get to discredit what he does simply
because they might at times wish that the roles were reversed.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
I don't think that Rebecca, our caller, is discrediting her husband.
I just think that she, in my opinion, would prefer
her husband to come home at night.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
I know it's hard. The commune is a pain in
the ass, it is.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I don't think Rebecca is.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I think the argument that he can't stay in the
city because he's not doing anything at home and she
has to do all of that is discrediting potentially what
he's doing to provide for the family. Is well, they're
both making sacrifices.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That's what I'm saying. They're sacrifices. But I still think
he needs to come home at the end of the night.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
He doesn't live in a different city that's different, then
he really can't come home.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Hey Lindsey, Yeah, high Lindsay, good morning. Hey what'd you
want to say?
Speaker 9 (10:52):
So, I don't think it's a go situation. I think
it's just communication. He had this show obviously before they
had kids. They knew what it did care so he
knew he was going to be leaving early homely, but
me having three children and my husband leaving before, Like,
he was gone at five o'clock this morning, and no
one has seen him fro yesterday morning just because of works.
But if he doesn't come home and kids his kids
(11:14):
and while they're sleeping and get in better with me
because I myself am trying, baby, it would be it
would be a problem. But yeah, he he you know,
he provides, He brings home the money, she does all
the stuff. But he, you know, should know that he
should be coming home every night, regardless of the drive.
It's not like he's in a different state. He should
be coming home, whether it's to pick up a little
(11:35):
bit asna and do whatever he needs to do. But
you're a family, You're a unit. You come home and
you you start your day in the morning off from home,
and you come home at night to home to your family,
whether they're sleeping or not.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Fair enough. Thank you, Lindsey, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Have a good daybody, Yes, thank you you too. Hi Phil,
Good morning Phil.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
How you doing.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
I'm good. How are you guys?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Hey, I'm doing great. If you just tuned in.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
This woman is concerned or once to know if she
should be concerned because her husband of a long time,
who's been making at least an hour drive each way
to and from work, has decided that he wants to
get an apartment or something closer to work so that
he's not making that drive every single day because it's
wearing him out and he thinks he's having a negative
effect on his life. He doesn't get to see his
(12:19):
family on those days anyway. And so the debate is
is this good or a bad idea?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
What do you think?
Speaker 6 (12:24):
So I've been doing this for fifteen years. I have
an apartment up in the city, but my home is
three hours away. So the commute is that that's not possible.
But we have four kids, we've been married for twenty
nine years and it works. But because of the distance,
it's impossible. Now given their circumstances with him only being
(12:45):
an hour away, and if they can afford rent or
buying in the city, my suggestion would be for him
to contract a black car service that he could call
when he's ready to come home, because then he's not
doing the driving. Then he can work the drive in
and he can work the drive out, but then he's
home every night with with his kids. You know, the
(13:05):
problem that we see nowadays is everybody says you have
to have a work life balance, and that means you
balance life around work, and that's wrong. You should have
a life work balance where you balance work around life
because those kids are going to be grown up and
out of the house much faster than any time he's
going to spend griping about the commute back and forth.
If they've got the money and it's only an hour,
(13:27):
if it was three hours, I would say, yeah, absolutely,
But if it's only an hour, he should contract a
black car service that can pick him up and deliver
him back and forth every single day, because there's cars
out there that will do that. But additionally, in my industry,
I've seen a lot of guys try this and what
happens is they gain an independence on their own and
(13:48):
they start creating a life on their own outside of
the life they should be having with their family.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
Yeah, that's an issue. Obviously, that would be a serious issue.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
When it gets doing this. But given the fact that
he's only an hour away, I would say that to
save I mean not only to be there for his wife,
but to be there for his family and to live
like we work to live. We don't live to work,
And so he needs to prioritize it, and he needs
to put the money into hiring someone to pick him
(14:17):
up at his house and take the load off of
him driving, drive him into the city, and when he's
done on a late night, have someone drive him home.
But you know what, he's going to be at home
at night, and he's going to be at home in
the morning and his kids will at least know he
was present.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Thank you, Phil, that's a good idea. Thanks man. Have
a good day that a life coach. It feels good.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
I'mired.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I just my issue is if the argument is that
he's going he's going to cheat, or he's going to
disconnect her, he's going to do all these bad things.
I don't necessarily think that's the reason not to do this,
because if you're in a relationship and you trust the
person that you're we talk about this all the time.
It's like, just because he has a place in the
city does not mean that he's to someone's point on
he wants to stab in cabin someone texted.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
That's not necessarily know And.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
If they can establish boundaries again, you know, ground rules
on this, Hey, once a week, okay, twice a week.
Maybe under these circumstances for these things, if they can
come up with that on their own and then they
can stick to it, then I don't think this is
inherently a problem. But if maybe it goes outside those
lines and then maybe she has to reel it back in,
(15:23):
I don't know. But just for the argument for everybody going, well,
he's not at home at night, then he's not this,
and he's not that.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I don't know, that's not fair. Hey, missy, hey, I
missed you. Good morning, good morning, how are you hey? Great?
What'd you want to say?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
So?
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Okay, my husband and I we've been together for twenty years.
Speaker 11 (15:44):
We have a beautiful little seventeen year old almost eighteen
year old, and he's been a truck driver for the
past oh, I don't know, fifteen years or so, and
you know, he is rarely home during.
Speaker 10 (15:56):
The week and everything.
Speaker 11 (15:58):
Do I automatically assume that he's cheating. Absolutely not, because
I mean you have to have like that trust. He
does come home once in a while when he can,
you know, pops in each shower, sleeps a little bit,
whatever he can do.
Speaker 10 (16:11):
But on the weekend he's always there.
Speaker 12 (16:15):
Taking care of things that have to be done around
the house and taking care of his family. Okay, yeah,
he does feel bad sometimes that you know, he can't
be around and he can't be like involved in like
a lot of her stuff because you know, now that.
Speaker 10 (16:31):
She's growing up and she's stopped the college and everything,
it's a little bit harder. But the man is busting
is behind, working in everything to provide for our family.
And now one single time have we thought, or have
I even thought that he's cheating. Now, if he's going to, well,
good luck to him, because God only knows what could happen.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
But yeah, people are people.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Have found much more creative ways to cheevee than to say,
you know, to announce they're getting an apartment to stay
in the city, if that's the concern exactly.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
And I mean mine's the.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Talk driver, so I mean he's got a bed right
there in the cab right.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
How convenient.
Speaker 11 (17:08):
Exactly, But like I said, he does come home when
he can, and I mean he's always providing and everything
for us and stuff, and I mean he's still taking
care of stuff around the house. So I mean it's
just I mean, you can't automatically assume that you know
they're gonna cheat on you.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, thank you, missy, have a great day.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
Thank you as well.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Glad you call our problem solve Boom, here you go.
No idea is the thief of joy.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
So like we should never whether it be at work,
comparing who works harder, whether it be in your relationship,
until you walk in someone choose, you just don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
And so why are we going down that slipper? Like
what where's the respect for people?
Speaker 7 (17:41):
And how you know, I don't know what your day
is like, but we we both have to do things
to contribute, So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I think it's a slippery slope.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
The entertainment report is next. You have to drake in
two minutes. It's a fresh show. We're commercial free fresh show.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
This is what's trending.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It's cold. It's gonna be cold. A lot of places
where you can hear us today. A harsh freezing tempers
hit the nation's midsection on Monday, as a polar vortex
gripped the Rockies and northern Plains on the heels of
weekend storms that hummeled the eastern US with floods, killing
at least fourteen people. It's the tenth polar vortex of
the season. The National Weather Service warned if life threatening
(18:18):
cold as windshields dropped to minus sixty fahrenheit in parts
of North Dakota on Monday and minus fifty in parts
of Montana minus fifty wow. This morning was forecast of
even colder. Extreme cold warnings were issued for an eleven
state swath of the US stretching from the Canadian border
to Oklahoma and central Texas, where the Arctic front was
(18:38):
expected to bring near record cold temperatures and windshields in
the single digits. By midweek, meteorologists had predicted the parts
of the US would experience the tenth and coldest polar
vortex event this season, So it's cold a lot of places.
It was cold in Canada yesterday in Toronto, a Delta
Airlines flight forty eight nineteen operated by Endeavor air craft
(19:00):
while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport. The flight was arriving
from Minneapolis with eighty individuals on board, including seventy six
passengers and four crew member. During the landing at approximately
two to fifteen local time, the plane flipped upside down
on the runway and then caught on fire. Eighteen people injured,
no fatalities. And if you look at this thing, it's
(19:21):
amazing that the people survived. It is truly amazing.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I couldn't wrap my mind around how the plane perfectly
ended up on its upside down like that, Like when
did the wing stop?
Speaker 4 (19:33):
It?
Speaker 3 (19:33):
When the tail?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I think did the wing break off? One of them? Yeah,
both broke off. I thought of you.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I was why, because an airplane, an airplane flips over
lands upside down, like man was Frends flying that thing
did over there. I haven't seen him in a while.
I know he's been in Salt Lake City, but like,
did you get a.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Job over there.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
No, no, no, you're my play friend though, Like you
know anything I want to know about an airplane, I can
actually you're by Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I don't know what happened. I even called a friend
of mine. I was like, what happened? I mean it
was snowy and it was windy, but I mean flipping
completely over.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
The incident led to a temporary suspension of airport operations,
which resumed last night.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
So there was somebody. There was a TikTok video yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
If somebody sitting at the gate in Toronto on a
plane watching the CNN coverage of the crash and then
looking out the window and there it wasn't look I'm
a pilot, I'm an aviation guy. I might take a break,
you know, if if the plane just slipped over, I might,
you know, grandative everybody had to go home, I guess
because the airport was closed, but I might just say,
you know what, today is not going to be the day,
(20:40):
Like I'm not going to Toledo today. You know, I'm
gonna go home and I'm gonna have a nice coffee
or something and take a nap and I'll come back
later and coffee and take a.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Nap pacafs what bi calf. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I'm just gonna have a nice I'm gonna have a
nice stroll this afternoon in the polar vtext and I'm
gonna come back tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We'll try this again. Today might not be the day.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm nervous, man.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
No, don't be okay, it's very safe. Air travels very safe.
I know it doesn't look like it lately, but you know,
I thought it was just.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
A bowing thing.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
But no, that's where one of the people in CNN,
one of the you know whatever reporters, said that like
when they look at that, they see that like this
catastrophe happened and like there were no casualties. Like that
just shows how safe the airplane really is. That the
fact that that happened, like whatever. She was like, Oh,
that's a different way of looking at it, but positive way.
It's a miracle. It's like it's a miracle.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And I don't know, I think I think it's honestly,
I think people just got lucky. Airplane flips over, wings
break off, there's fuel on the wings, you know, the
thing didn't burst into flames. It makes amazing like it
truly is I don't want to go through all the
bad things it could have happened, because I'm glad that
they didn't, but no fatalities at all. But I don't
know if they have video of this, because we were
all kind of trying to figure out, like wow, I mean,
(21:54):
you know, because the wind would have to be really
strong to flip a plane over, you know, without without
the pilot being able to do anything to correct it.
So I have no idea. If there's an IRS rebate scam.
It's texts that are going out. This is for you
kick you know, you'd have to file your taxes in
order to actually I don't know if you do have
to file your taxes because it's a scam. The scammers
(22:14):
are at it again, and this time they want you
to believe that they're the IRS. So there are reportedly
text messages going out they say that they have to
that you would need to click a link to receive
a fourteen hundred dollars payment from the IRS. I think
when you know when it says hello, sir or madam,
But that's the first giveaway for me that it's not
exactly the IRS.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
They're not that polite. Plus they don't text. They call. Yeah,
they call a lot, and.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Then when you don't answer, not that I know this
for any particular reason, but if you don't answer, then
they just come take the money.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
They ask you nicely at first, kind of, and then
they don't ask you nicely anymore than they just come
and take him. But the scammers are playing off recent news.
In late December, the agency said it was sending out
two point four million dollars in total to a million
people who didn't get all of their federal stimulus checks
during the pandemic. However, those payments are happening automatically, and
the link in the text takes you to a fake
(23:06):
site that looks like an official website. The IRS is
warning that the only way that anyone will contact you
is through the postal service, never text or emails. They
will call you. People have said they won't call you anymore.
They'll call you.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
I don't think I would believe it if the IRS
called me, I wouldn't like I wouldn't trust that.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It was a long time ago. But I did get
a call from the IRS. Could I was ignoring their
invitation to the audited Oh my god, I didn't really know.
I didn't really realize what was happening, but I I
thought this must be a mistake.
Speaker 10 (23:38):
It was.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
It was something wacky.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
It was a long time ago, but it was like,
and I have a guy that does my texes, so
I called him. But it was like I deducted something
on a rental property at the time that they said
you can't. I mean they wanted. They didn't want much.
It wasn't a lot, but they were trying to get
me for the penalties. Could I've been ignoring them.
Speaker 8 (23:55):
Just the offshore accounts right, Well they told that about
one of the offshore I had to move some money
around me.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, I called Paulina.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I said hey, and then I got banned from Venmo,
just like you for money laundering using Venmo. But then
my my text guy was like, okay, well then we'll
pay them.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But like that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
But then whatever it was they wanted, it was it
right off the next year, so it was like, okay, yeah,
write them to check, then we'll get it back next year.
It was like dumb. I don't even remember what it was,
but it was something we tried to do and it
didn't work. I honestly have no idea and it wasn't
that big a deal, but they wanted all these penalties
because I, you know, ignored them.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
Well, I don't want to talk to them. That sounds
I don't want to. I don't want this letter.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Does to sound like you. I feel like you wouldn't
answer that.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
I don't know why I was ignoring it.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I was like, there's just no way, though, there's no
way this is right, like this a way, and I
just threw it away.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
If I got anything, an audit didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Say that it was. There was a discrepancy of I
think that was the next step though. Anyway, I got
it ill straightened out. But this is a long time ago,
and you know I'm able to vote, then let me
vote again. Now I can vote. A lot of talk
about asteroids lately, guys, And I just want you to
know that the odds of an asteroid striking Earth, they
keep going up. So we got planes slipping over, We
(25:11):
got all kinds of crazy stuff happening.
Speaker 10 (25:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
We got people being swallowed by by whales, we got
people trying to take pictures with sharks. Did you hear
about this? This is over the weekend, I guess. So
one was trying to take a selfie with a shark.
It bit both of her hands off. Why would we
take a picture with sharks? If you see a shark?
Why are you like, Hey, hold on one a naight,
hey grab the phone, guys, let's take it.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
But no, I'm running, I'm swimming fast. I'm running.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah, she kind of had the day she deserved at
that point.
Speaker 7 (25:38):
I mean, you hate to see it, but like right,
you hate to see it, but you see it.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
And you, guys know, if you've been listening for any
period of time, you know that I believe that I can.
I can reason with most wild animals. I do believe
that a shark is not one of them. No, I
don't believe I can reason when the shark. I also
don't think the shark could hear me if I tried to.
It's in the water, hello, and I'm out of the water. Probably,
But my feet, of all things, don't taste good in
my hands. Don't bite them. They don't even taste good.
(26:03):
It's not worth them, Like I guess, honey, bees if
they sting you don't they die instantly?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, honey, and I see it.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I don't like bees and they swarming around swarming whatever
they're doing, and I'm like, don't even bother, don't sting me.
I don't taste good, and you're gonna die. Yeah, you know,
So that works sometimes with with a bee, with me
reasoning with wild animals. But the chances of an asteroid
hitting Earth in twenty thirty two were going up. A
new estimate from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory says the asteroid,
(26:33):
called the twenty twenty four y are four, has a
two point six percent chance of an Earth impact, which
is up from two point three last week. If you
were worried about this, if you're betting on it, like
Caitlin probably is. NASA says that near earth asteroid measures
up to three hundred feet across and has a very
small chance of hitting Earth December twenty second of twenty
(26:53):
thirty two. That said, the probability has been increasing since
the asteroid was discovered weeks ago. In late January, the
chance of a hitting Earth was only one point two percent,
so it's going up quickly. And a therapist who treats
phone addictions Kiki, says that the withdrawal symptoms that people
suffer are similar to those experienced by drug addicts.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Yes, oh yes, this is what happened when TikTok went down.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
So Lee Fernandez says that in the last five years
he's seen a significant rise in phone, technology and social
media addictions, with one of his recent clients spending between
fifteen and seventeen hours a day on YouTube.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh wow, really yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
And for those who try and quit, you can suffer
withdrawal symptoms which are as serious as those experienced by
drug users trying to quit heroine, like shaking, sweating, and insomnia.
All jokes aside. You were not shaking or sweating the
insomnia maybe fred.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
I was shaking this way. Stop now it's real. I'm
not alone, Jason, I cried. Yeah, it's for real. It
was like I got into an argument with my man.
Like it was just I wasn't my I wasn't myself.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
All because you knew you couldn't look at TikTok. Yes,
oh boy, yes, when did he get you a hobby
or something? No, people gravitate to their phones and social
media for a quick hit of dopamine, a hormone that
boosts your mood. However, he warns that doing this can
actually burn out the rewards centers in your brain, making
it more difficult to enjoy other activities.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Are you able to enjoy life? Yeah? I love life.
Yeah with TikTok.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay with TikTok and National Drink Wine Day Today, The
Entertainment Report will do it next. Blogs after that are
