Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fred Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the day.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Were you guys freaking out when X went town yesterday?
I know a lot of X people around here. No,
I think my ex is still hacked. I'm not even
I don't even bother to reclaim it. I'm like, whatever
are you gonna have?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
But you're still selling laptops?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, yeah, you want my laptop? Find it's on there.
It's like I didn't even bother.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
I'm blocked. Bill.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh, that's right, because I did get hacked not that
long ago. And then Jason tried to, you know, being
the the you know, justice for Fred guy he is.
He went after the hacker directly by dming him, saying
I know who you are. Yeah, I'm gonna beat you up. Yeah, exactly,
And then that got him blocked. I guess I can
unblock you now. I was just trying to sell my laptop, guys.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's weird anyway. I finally get it back, but I
never go on there anymore. I'm upset because I lost
my blue check mark. I'm upset because I can't use
the I used to have that like tweet deck software.
I gotta pay for that. I'm annoyed by the whole thing.
I just don't go there anymore. It's a lawless place.
I feel like, oh, yes it is.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Nonetheless, it went down yesterday and Elon mus says it
was due to a massive cyber attack. The social media
site X had a big outage yesterday, thousands of people
in the US and the UK reporting problems. Many users
couldn't see post a load pages. The trouble started early
in the morning lasted for hours. Elon, who owns X,
said that it was caused by a massive cyber attack
that he claimed came from you Ukrainian IP addresses, but

(01:25):
experts say it's hard to know for sure without more proof.
Some people think the problem could have been a glitch
in the system, not an attack. Exit returned to normal
by late yesterday. The group dark Storm to credit, but
it can't be verified.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
Dark Storm.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I do all their voiceovers for dark Storm. That hackers
another dark Storm production this, Yeah, where'd you find that?
And if you don't know that reference, then I don't
know if we can be friends. And I don't know
that's your mom man, You're right right, that's what When
I meet a new woman, I'm like tell me what
you downloaded on LimeWire, you know, and if and if

(02:03):
she doesn't know what that is, then I'm just not sure.
If you're a space person, if you're a space person, yeah,
you're you're a big space person.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Out big space person.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Well, while Eli's messing around with X, could you give
him a ring and see if he could also go
up to the space and get those people wing Sunita. Yeah, man,
I guess there's a they're worried about their bone density
because they've been up their way too long. I think
it was supposed to be what was it a week
or four days. They've been up there for eight months?
Oh my god, down they're losing their boned and you're
saying that, and then our president says they maybe they'll

(02:33):
fall in love or maybe they have fallen in love.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I don't know, and I know the answer.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I already know the answer from you guys, But like,
come on, I know you guys well enough to know.
But let's they've been up there for eight months. I
don't know what their marital status is, but you just
let's say I just got.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
To get one in, like they got to get one in.
They've been up there for eight months.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Is it's not their fault?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
You know? Are you allowed to do space? The final Frontier?

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean, can you just do you do what you
got to do as long as no one knows he
was in space?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
No, those two can't stand each other.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Right now, I'm telling you to be eight months in
with just the same person, whether you're like, you know,
sexually attractive to them or whatever. Like they could be
besties and they hate each other right now, I promise.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Napauline, I know what your answer would normally be, but like,
just for one second, if you could be objective, just
one second.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Hobby is in space? Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
The man was supposed to be out there for four days.
He is an astronaut, He is an American hero. He
is one of only hundreds of people to ever have
done this. And he's up there and he can't come
back for eight months because there's no ship that can
come get him. For eight months. He's up there with
this woman and he's you know, you find out when

(03:42):
he gets back that seven ships have come and gone
and he just didn't get on them. No, not that,
no problem. That he got it all with you know,
lovely Sunita. He got it on and it's like you
found out from another source. But dude, the guy just
had to, Like what are you supposed to do? Eight months?
He just needed some form of release. He had to.
He would never have done it if he'd been on
our earth. This sounds like the beginning of some sort

(04:03):
of excuse. You know, maybe maybe I wouldn't have done it,
but I was not on Earth at the time. Nobody
gets to say that, would you let him have a pass?
It's space.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
I wouldn't let him have a pass.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
But I mean, if he did it, like I'm gonna
close my eyes like says it says like I'm blind,
Like that's what I was, because like I'd rather just
not know. Like whatever happened in space stays in space,
you know, right, So just don't tell me.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Let me live black. Any of you guys be truly
be upset. Now. I can argue, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Unexpected, unexpected, but eight unexpected months. But you're just you're trapped.
There's nothing to do, there's nowhere else to go. You
have to you would have to. Plus what a great story.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Men go off to war for longer than that, or
they used to you you can keep it in your panting.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I think they still do.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Can you Well, I'm saying, like, you know what I mean,
I was drafted, But did you even do it up
there with the gravity.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
And all that?

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Or I don't know, but I think you. I think
you have to. I think you have to.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
No, he hates the way she breathes up there, she
hates the way he choose.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
No one's doing the dishes. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
If I ever, if I ever go to the space
for an extended period of time, there's no way I'm
not getting it on in space.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
There's just no way.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
I sent you that TikTok about how dirty you are
when you're up there.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
The person, It's just it is what it is.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
How can you go to space and not I mean
people are looking up in dive bar bathrooms. Okay, I'm
in space. I'm in a space station once in a lifetime,
and then I'm up there for an additional seven and
a half months that I didn't anticipate. You think I'm
just not going to do anything for that period of time.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
A dive bar bathroom sings hotter, yeah than like in a.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Floating looking I'm looking I am looking at you while
I'm cheating on you. I'm looking at the continent that
you're on while I'm cheating on you. I can see you.
What the hell it's sick.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, that's sick.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Right, that's where you draw the line, right, Okay, do
a lot of thinking about me while you're up there, not.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
The hepatitis that w looming in wherever the public places
that you get anyway, if you're into space, the total
lunar eclipse will flush the moon red on Thursday night
into Friday morning across the western hemisphere. That how romantic.
I wonder if they can see it from there. The
best views will be from North America and South America.
Lunar eclipses happened when the Moon, Earth, and Sun aligned

(06:20):
just so. The Earth casts a shadow that can partially
or totally blot out the Moon. During the partial lunar eclipse,
Earth's shadow appears to take a bite of the Moon.
The full Moon is covered during a total eclipse, and
blush is coppery red because of stray bits of sunlight
that are filtering through the atmosphere. So you'll be able
to see this. This is Thursday into Friday.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
No, it's at night.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
You can just look at him. Have you heard this
Moana controversy? There's mo Wana controversy.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
No, there is.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
In the Biggest Stories of the day, Mowana was based
on a boy named Bucky.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Maybe Maybe.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Lawyers for a New Mexico writer and animator say at
closing arguments Federal trou in La on Monday that his
work was stolen to create the twenty sixteen hit about
a Polynesian princess, whose sequel was among the biggest hits
of last year. Buck Woodhall wrote a script whose various
titles have included Bucky the Surfer Boy doesn't quite have

(07:16):
the appeal of Mowana.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I mean it needed a little bit of work, I guess.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
But it's about a teenager vacationing in Hawaii with his
parents who befriends a group of Native Hawaiian youth and
goes on a quest that involves time travel to the
ancient islands and interactions with demigods to save a sacred
part of the islands, whom a developer, well the Guy
lost A jury on Monday quickly rejected the Guy's claim
that Disney's Mowana was stolen from his story of a

(07:41):
young surfer. The Federal jury deliberated for less than three
hours before deciding that the creators of Mowana and It
never would have had access to the writer and animator
and his outlines for the script of Bucky the Surfer Boy.
With that question settled, the jury of six women and
two men didn't have to consider this similarities between Bucky
and the twenty sixteen hit animated film from Disney. Apparently, though,

(08:03):
this guy had shared his work with the stepsister of
his brother's wife step sister of his brother's wife, who
worked for a different company on the Disney lot, but
the woman said during the two week trial that she
had never showed the idea to anybody at Disney. So
this dude had a similar idea, showed it to somebody

(08:24):
who does work on the Disney lot, but she didn't
give it to anybody, and he doesn't get any money.

Speaker 7 (08:28):
Hmmm.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
But this is why places like Disney and all these
late night shows and even like around I try not
to watch any stand up comedy.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
I've said this a million times.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
I'm so afraid I'm gonna tell someone's joke subconsciously like
that I didn't mean to tell, or God forbid you,
or I or somebody has the same idea as somebody else,
and then you say it, it's.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Like, oh, you stole it.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Well, you know, because like I guess a lot of
these late night shows they won't take joke submissions, like
there's no place to send them. They don't want them
because if you sent your joke in and then it
gets used, you're gonna be like, well I sent it
any you used it. And it's like but but the
writers are saying, well, we don't even look at that stuff.
There is no way for you to do that. Otherwise
we'll pay you and then we'll use your joke or
we won't. But like that, I don't know. One of

(09:07):
the the odject got to be good though, that more
than one person wrote a similar story in the Whole.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
World, right or something similar in that sense, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, right. Do you lie at the dentist? This is
a story today.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yes, really, you don't lie at the dentist.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
No, I'm like such a kiss ass at the dentist.
I floss and stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Do you lie the doctor? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (09:28):
You do?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
About drinking? Yeah for sure? Absolutely.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Okay, Well, it turns out that most people, I should say,
well over fifty fifty seven percent of people lie at
the dentist or recent survey found more than half of
Americans admit to doing this at their checkups. Fifty seven
percent of Americans have lied to their dentist about their
dental hygiene during appointments. There's no way you're honest about flossing.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
There's no way. There's no way, there's no way to.
I don't believe you guys should too. You don't believe it.
I don't believe the motivation.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Sixty percent can asked that they simply wanted to impress
their dentists during office visits.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
I lie about flossing.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
They can tell because you bleed. If they floss you
and you're bleeding, they know you don't fly.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Oh yeah, I'm a mouth breather. I bleed it anyway.
And I do fluss. I don't flost twice a day.
I've lost several times. A YEA said, well, I don't lie,
don't They're not to believe I don't fluss. I'm admitting
right now, publiclood. Right now, I'm saying public lift. Then
I don't. And I have a bottom retainer like these
little teeth here to keep these teeth straight. And they
get just as grudge like. It's just there's no way.

(10:30):
If you're a dental hygienist, you know, there's no way
to keep those things perfectly clean.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I try, I try with all my might, same it's gross.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
The other thing is now I go in in like
the hygienis are good looking women, and so honestly, can
I tell you something when I brush my teeth or
floss what I am thinking in my head and this
is not I mean, this wouldn't surprise anyone because I'm
a crazy person. What I'm thinking in my head is
I don't want to embarrass myself in front of the
twenty five year old hot dental hygienist at the place.
I don't want it to be like, oh God, here
comes this guy, you know, with the snaggletooth or whatever.

(10:59):
It's just I've never seen flaws in his life. You know,
what does he brush his teeth with like a like
a brand of weed or something like? You know, I
don't know. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of judgment.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
YEP.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
Nearly two thirds reported feeling guilty about their dishonesty. Imagine that,
Imagine imagine being so pure in your life, Jason, that
you carry around the guilt of the lie that you
told at the dentist's office.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I mean that's the only reason why I take care
of my teeth now, because I'm afraid of letting my
dental hygienis down.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Well, there's that in it. The hard work.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
It's beginning to get expensive, like if you miss it.
And the other thing is like at a certain age,
if you mess up your teeth. Now we're talking about
putting in fake teeth. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Like when you're young, and it's like, ah, I brush
your teeth, you know, oh, come on, man, like whatever
that way when you're like fifty and I'm luckily none
of us are, but when you're you know, when you
get to a certain point, they just talk about taking

(11:47):
them out and putting fake ones in, like they don't
fix them anymore. Oh yeah, like you can mess them
up beyond repair.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
It comes at you fast, yep. Ain't no game, chicklets.

Speaker 9 (11:56):
Yeah, No, side tooth is a mess. No, no know
what side tooth the will side too.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
A lot of people are missing their side.

Speaker 9 (12:04):
Tooth like a whole or like yeah, like there's this
tooth missing on the side of their mouth a side tooth.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah. Oh, I've never heard it referred to that way.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yeah, people describe they called them panic lies at the
dentist's office.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
I've never heard anything so true. Yeah, I like sweat everything.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
A third city simply didn't want their dentist to think
less of them. There are panic lies. Yeah, that's that's
what it is. So no, or they're like, yeah, the
drinks at the doctor's office, I'm not. I'm just not like,
how many drinks you? What's the wrong?

Speaker 1 (12:40):
And that's okay because we need something fun in our life.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I actually don't drink that much, but I mean when
I was drinking regularly, I was afraid to tell them, like,
how many drinks a day do you drink? Well, one
day a week, I drink a lot of you, which
is That's.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
What I'm like.

Speaker 5 (13:00):
That's the thing.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
It's like how many days. I'm like, wow, if you
average it out, it's not bad. Like what do you mean?
I'm like, well, I don't think during the week, get
up early. But then they well, one day a week,
you know my boys and I go on, well, you
know how many are we talking? If you divide by seven,
it's around three a day. Isn't that the answer that
you were looking for? It's like, no, that's called binge drinking, sir,

(13:22):
and that's even worse. Nikes, It's National Johnny Applesey Day,
National Promposal Day, and National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition
Day today as well. All Right, the entertainer of fort
Blogs will do a stay or Google to basa relationship drama.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
It's all next friend show. This show is on. It's
stay or Go. Alissa is here morning, Alyssa. How are you.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Day?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Lissa?

Speaker 2 (13:51):
Welcome to the show. So little group therapy and stay
or go? What's going on with this? This is a
boyfriend of yours? Why don't you tell us everything?

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (14:01):
Well, so.

Speaker 10 (14:05):
I have been dating this guy for six.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Months and.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Congratulations, that's my longest relationship. So that's amazing. Basically that's
a that's a marriage. That's a milestone. That's incredible. With
you another six months, basically a lifetime of happiness together.
He's been with this guy for six months? What's wrong
with him?

Speaker 11 (14:27):
I just don't.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'm asking for your advice because.

Speaker 10 (14:33):
How how often do you think people need to be
talking to each other when they're they're dating because I
he so he is like a very demanding schedule. He's
a he's an er doctor.

Speaker 12 (14:49):
And after like the first couple of months, I'm like, okay, okay,
so I get it, like sometimes we're going to go,
you know, a whole day or so like not talking.
If I didn't reach out to him, you know.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Because he's saving lives, you mean presumably Okay, I understand.
I mean they like, you know, so you the guy's
inn er doctor. He probably works, I don't know what
he works, twenty four hour shifts at a time, you know,
who knows. I think they're probably maybe somebody can educate
me or on an average ar doctor's schedule, but I
would imagine they're long shifts, and I would I would

(15:28):
guess that they're you know, highs and lows as far
as it gets busy or some days are different than others.
But so this dude is not all that communicats it
when he's working as an er doctor saving people's lives.

Speaker 12 (15:41):
Well, it's just like if I didn't reach out, Like,
I don't know, if I.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Hear from him, maybe maybe you should text him and
say my gallbladder hurts or something like he said. Every
time just making some kind of medical thing, and then
he'd have to respond to.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
You can't fall, we can't fall apart.

Speaker 12 (15:59):
We had six saying I'm running out of helmet.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Okay, So so you're upset because when this guy's working,
he doesn't communicate with you. Does he communicate with you
when he's not working?

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Well, so I brought it up.

Speaker 12 (16:14):
To him and he just was like, oh, like we
don't have to talk every single day, like I'm busy
or like I am catching up on sleep, but I'm
not at the er because I'm tired from work and life.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
And sometimes he's like when he's not texting you, right, yeah.

Speaker 12 (16:35):
Like I guess like he's like, oh, like I have
to you know, my laundry, and like do you like ered?

Speaker 3 (16:43):
So he can't like, uh, did you just yawn? Are
you why you're so tired? Stamp all night trying to
get a hold of this man my mind? Guys, No,
I can tell. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
I mean the guy could obviously communicate with you at
times when he's not working. I guess if the complaint
is that he disappears for a day and you know
that he's at the hospital, you know, helping people. Then
I can understand that. But you know, if he's got
days on end off and he's not making any effort
to see you, slash talk to you and he says
it's because he's doing laundry, then he ain't that interested.

(17:24):
So so I don't know. I mean, is it how
have you gotten through six months of this though? Because
I mean that's a long time. It's a relatively long
time to date someone who you feel like isn't paying
attention to you.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
I've just never.

Speaker 12 (17:39):
Dated somebody that.

Speaker 11 (17:42):
We didn't talk every day and I.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Text different.

Speaker 12 (17:48):
He's like in a different kind of job, so it's
a different kind of lifestyle. So I was like trying
to sort of acclimate, and I just don't know if
it's like it's just like a red flash.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, I wonder, let me take some phone calls on this.
Alyssa eight five five five three five. I think the
guy's got an extremely valid reason for not being as communicative.
I think that if you've ever dated a doctor before,
or I think that's probably how it goes. I mean,
I hear from people all the time who are with

(18:22):
doctors that it's almost like they're the second priority to
the patients. In fact, I feel like this and thank
you and listen for call them. By the way, I
also wonder if part of the problem is that it
takes her twenty minutes to spit out a story.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
So I was just curious that he could have saved seven.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Lives in a period of time that it took her
to explain that, And she also was half asleep, so
I'm just curious if that's part of the issue.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
I'd love to talk. I want to hear both sides
of the story.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
I want this guy to be like to call up
here and go, dude, she's hot and she you know,
does a lot of things well, but storytelling eight one
of them. No, you know, because it took her twenty
minutes to tell us basically that this guy's busy and
isn't able to talk to her as often as But
it also sounds like when he's not working, he doesn't
make the effort to make up for it, which I mean,
I think you have to accept that if if you're

(19:09):
this guy and you're gonna be the guy who says, hey,
I'm busy and I am not going to be able
to you know, necessarily, you know, meet all your communication
needs for these days or this much time. Then I
think you've got to make sure that you do when
when you're not working.

Speaker 5 (19:23):
But then don't be in a relationship like I think
you can shoot a text every day. I'm sure he
talks to his mom, his grandma, whoever, the neighbor. Like,
I'm sure he's texting somebody, like we're on our phones
all the time. And I understand his job is like
crazy demanding. It's a whole different world that I do
not understand. And I'm not comparing apples. Is apples to oranges?
Or apples to apples? Okay, apples to oranges. I'm not comparing.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
What do you mean? What are you trying not to compare?

Speaker 5 (19:46):
I'm gonna say I sound like her.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Now are you comparing two things that are similar and
two things that are different? Now you mean apple to apples?

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Apples?

Speaker 2 (19:53):
You're not comparing apples to Applescuse that would mean that
you're comparing two things.

Speaker 3 (19:56):
Is the same? Correct? Well, my husband's where I'm not
high bud right, give me a second.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
But my my husband's a fireman and they're twenty four
on right, so very similar. I'm assuming with the hours
twenty four on okay in a way right again, not
comparing what they do for a living as far as
their you know, demands, I don't know. But what I
am saying is he can still shoot me a text
even if he's about to go into a fire, you know,
let's just say coming up R and be about to
go into Hey, I don't see. I don't expect him

(20:21):
some right, but like I expect him to at least
hear from him once or twice a day would be nice.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Yeah, and he does that for me.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
Yes, I don't know if she's in an actual relationship.
And I think people sometimes get this confused, like we're
just dating.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 9 (20:34):
So you are if I want to go out on Friday,
I might hit you up and say let's go out
on Friday or let's go out you know, this weekend.
But we're not in a real relationship. We are just dating.
We are just friends. You are someone that I hit up,
and I think she may think she's in a relationship
with this doctor, but it's not get a relationship to me,
you're just talking.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, I'm not trying to say that this is this
makes it right, But like one of my best friends
growing up was my doctor's kid. Okay, when I was
a little kid, and we used to joke about like
a little kids like he was. He was the least
tended to person of any I got more attention from
his father than he did because I was a patient.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, and it wasn't and he was.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
A great dad and he loved his kids, but it
was like I feel like, for a lot of doctors,
and if you're a doctor, i'd love to know if
you feel the same way, or if you're married to
a doctor, which I think we're about to talk to someone.
I feel like it's very common for people to feel
like they are second priority to the career. Absolutely, and
they joke all the time like doctor's kids are the
least cared for because they care for everyone else all

(21:36):
day and then they come home and their kids, like
I have a cough. It's like you're fine. I just
I'm not feeling with this, like you're fine, Like you're
you're fine. I'm looking at you, you're walking, everything is working.
But we used to joke about that, like my friend
Mark would be like, yeah, my dad probably knows more
about your health and well being than mine, because well,
you pay to go there. Hey Mary, yes, very high,

(21:57):
good morning. So you are married to any r doctor?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh and perfect? This is amazing. So what is your
perspective when you hear this woman?

Speaker 8 (22:05):
So granted they've only been together six months, and granted
I was with my husband through medical school and residency,
so we went through the whole process together. But you know,
if the in my opinion, if the if the boyfriend
was were really into her, then he would be contacting
her a quick text here and there. My husband and

(22:26):
I are able to to connect, you know, and he's
able to pick up a FaceTime to say good night
to our daughter. They rarely rarely work twenty four hours.
It's normally, like, you know, at twelve to fifteen hour
depending on the you know, the acuity of the hospital.
So so they just need to I just think that

(22:48):
they need to have that talk of you know, communication
at this point, and.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
You've become you're just kind of used to this.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
It's like I would imagine that now it's probably better
than it was during residency.

Speaker 11 (22:58):
Absolutely, absolutely, yes, So.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
This is just something you've become accustomed to. But so
for someone who's just encountering this, it could be really difficult.

Speaker 8 (23:07):
Yes, absolutely, I think it's you know, not only is
it difficult for doctors to become doctors, but it's also
very difficult for their spouses or girlfriend just because you've
given up so much.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Yeah, people need to give you a lot of credit, Mary,
for sticking with someone through medical school and residency because
you know, and and God bless him for the work
that he does. But the fact of the matter is,
I don't think people realize just how how much you're
sacrificing as the spouse of that person. I mean, you're
basically saying, if you met the guy in the beginning
of medical school, hey, for like the next eight to
ten years, I'm not going to be your number one.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Yes, sir, why call me sir? But I don't deserve
that respect.

Speaker 8 (23:49):
Sorry, it's a it's a it is a respect thing.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, I don't know what you don't have to give
it to me. But Mary Hay, thank you so much
for listening. Have a good day.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
Absolutely too logical.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
I tried to date a girl who is in hercy
and she's a lovely girl. I liked her a lot,
but my thing with her was that like she'd be
you know, she'd have three. And this is not any
fault of hers, but she'd go three four days, you know,
doing these wild like twenty on, four off whatever. It
was crazy. But then when she was free, it was
like I needed to be available. It's like, well, I'm
free on these days, so like you're giving that all

(24:18):
them and it's like, wait a minute, that's just not
how I roll. Like I don't I don't know, like
I'm not on I'm not on demand boyfriend, you know
what I mean?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
I needed a little more balance in this thing, because
then it's like, you know, two weeks from Friday, I
don't have to work at twenty four, so like we're
doing this and it was like I don't know what
I'm doing two weeks and what I got to wait
two weeks. But I also understood what she was going through,
and I just I think it for her either date
another person who has been through is going through the
same thing, can relate to that same thing. Or maybe

(24:49):
you're not going to be taken seriously as seriously in
a relationship until you until you're done living that lifestyle.
You know, I think you need to get because it's hard.

Speaker 3 (24:57):
It's hard to.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
He could, he could call or text her face time,
like she did say if he liked her, he would
be able to do it.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Because she's in a relationship. This girl disappear like even
this girl was. It might take her. It's six or
seven hours to that's not what she did exactly.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
He is calling, probably on his way into a fire. Yeah,
girl is not in a relationship.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
Facts if I if he wanted to, he would thank you.
Hobby would Yes.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I'm so about to get this kitten out of the tree,
but first I wanted to say hi to you. Good morning, beautiful,
good morning beautiful. Yeah, hey, Kim, how you doing. You're
a nurse, so you get this like you get this field.

Speaker 12 (25:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (25:44):
So I think overall, I think she needs to go.
I would say maybe first they need to have some
form of communication about what they could potentially do on
both sides. But just from hearing that little blurb of
her talking, it seems like the way that his lifestyle
and work life works is not going to fit her knees.

(26:04):
And that's okay, but she needs to understand that when
he's at work in the er, you don't know what
your day is going to turn out. You could have
a really slow day, or you could have a day
where you're not even going to the bathroom. So if
he has a day off, he might just be burnt out.
You know, he's making decisions all day long, and to
have your phone, you know, be blowing up all day.

(26:25):
I know, like when I have my days off, but
people are texting me, I'm like, my god, what do
you want now? Like I'm just overstimulated. And he might
just need time to just have a day to be
brought and just be a complete plug because of everything
that he's done the day before, the things that he
has seen, talk about that he's seen, and he needs
to be compressed.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
You don't know, No, go ahead, but no, I've kim.
You could make the argument. You could make the argument
on the flip side. I mean, we've given this this
woman a hard time. Lovingly, we love her, she listens,
but word economy was not maybe her strength. But you
could make the argument that maybe this guy's not in
a place to be a partner either, you know, because
there is such thing as is he's going to have

(27:04):
to make it up somewhere else, right, Like I get it.
If he's working, maybe he can't communicate as much. But
when he's not working, if he wants to, her needs
matter too, right, So like, if when he's not working
and he's gonna have to put some effort and he
can't just get away with this, I'll call you when
I want. If in fact they're really in a relationship,
if they're just hooking up, like Keiky says exactly and

(27:24):
in the terms aren't there, well, then he's not trying
that hard.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
He doesn't have to.

Speaker 13 (27:29):
No, I agree, But I'm also saying too that like
if he had like a really rough day and he
needs to just like turn his phone off, that should
be okay too, but he should probably communicate that to
her as well.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Like, yeah, I agree, I need some time, but.

Speaker 13 (27:44):
It sounds like his work life isn't going to be
able to see what she needs. And like I said before,
that's k two. They probably just need to have a
conversation that he needs to explain, you know, his day
and outs and what she's looking for and what's kind
of like a deal breaker for her.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Kim, thanks for being a nurse too and for listening.
Have a great day. I'm a little concerned about this
text right here, and the concern is within the first
five words, he says, Hi, Fred, I'm a neurosurgeon. Let's
just stop it right there. What are you doing listening
to this? I am extremely concerned you right, you are
way too smart for this. I don't need you thinking

(28:21):
about any of this smut when you're in someone's brain.
But this person says, I on, there's some typos here too,
So I hope you weren't actually operating when you wrote this.
Maybe it was siri, he was. Maybe he's in someone's head.
He's like, hey, Siri, text the radio station, he said.
I text between patients with my wife or operations. If

(28:42):
I'm late, I would at least call. I think he's
using it as an excuse. But dating a doctor does
require an amount of trust and independence on behalf of
the partner.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
Yeah, I do think that.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I think it's probably going to be different terms than
it would be if you dated.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I don't know one of us, for I'm so good
at dating a doctor.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Go me too.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I wanted to talk to you, That's what I thought that.
I thought that, but I need like a little consistency
like I need. I don't know, a little like it
was just it was a little erratic. For me, and
it was like it was either all on or all off.
I need like a balance. We can do mostly off
and a little on, but I needed like I don't know,
I felt like we were either like don't call me

(29:18):
for a week, I'll talk to you later and then
and then when that person was free, it was like
I need all of your attention and like, but I
wasn't getting any of your attention before, Like it was
it was hot or cold, and I can't blame this
girl for that, Like it totally isn't her fault. I
really admire what she was doing and the difficulty of it,
but I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
A little little you know, I don't know, Rachel.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Hi, you can't see the hand movement not making but
it was it was like a wishy, washy hand movement.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Rachel, what do you want to say? Good morning?

Speaker 11 (29:48):
Good morning? Yeah, no, I was just calling. I did
a nurse. I know it's not a doctor, but it's
like the job is still demanding, so he works like
twelve hours shift a couple without the week, but like
he's still like on his way to wear touching me
in good morning takes or like when he's coming back
from work, he'll face timy.

Speaker 13 (30:09):
You know.

Speaker 11 (30:09):
So it's like what he wants to do, Like, if
you want to communicate with you, he will, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
He wants you, he will want to exactly.

Speaker 11 (30:18):
Like and then like he sends me like his monthly
scheduled because he gets that every beginning of the month,
So like I know when he's working, I know when
he's busy. I also have his location. I can see
him at the hospital.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
So it's like somebody's will just stock the man as
long as he stocked the man, and then you know,
then he'll know for sure, I get it. No, I'm
messing with you, but no, it's it's probably difficult. Rachel,
thank you have a great day. That's me too, glad
you call. Oh wait here we go.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
Hey, Nia.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Say, this woman's dating an r doctor for six months
and basically this dude will go days without communicating with her.
And he says it's because he's working, which is valid.
He says he's because he's a exhaust, which is valid.
He says it said he needs to, you know, sort
of do life things when he's not at the hospital.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
Valid.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
He's also in a relationship and that requires that he
needs to give a little.

Speaker 7 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah, I hear you, right. I walk in the
medical field and for that doctor not to have just
one second to reach out to this young lady, he
is not into hall. Yeah, I'm speaking with experience. Once
a guy is not reaching out either testing you or

(31:32):
calling you. He has someone else he's doing that full.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Listen to too much. Okay.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Everybody who doesn't do it exactly right is cheating, according
to Kiki and Nia apparently.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
Yep, yeah, he has someone else he's doing it for.
I'm not you, so baby girl, just move on.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
You okay, all right, Neia, Well thank you have a
good jest.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Na, thank you.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Guy.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
He doesn't have forty five minutes to hear the story.
You know that too? Yeah, it up? I thought I
was bad. She's go speed it up. Good morning, Hi,
good morning. No, what do you want to say? Welcome?

Speaker 6 (32:18):
I oh so, I mean if she wants to, you know,
see how it goes.

Speaker 11 (32:24):
Made me stay.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
But honestly, dating someone in the healthcare is not for
the week. I work in healthcare, and honestly, like because
you know, I live with my husband and have kids,
like I kind of make myself interact with them. On
my days off. But honestly, I don't know that I
would like all ignore my sister's text messages, like we
have a group chat, my mom will text me, she'll
call me, and I honestly just I work night, so I.

Speaker 11 (32:46):
Think it makes it even worse.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
I definitely get like over stimulated.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
I definitely need like a mental break, and I.

Speaker 6 (32:54):
Have a you know, a six year old, so she's
still kind of neat.

Speaker 13 (32:56):
You know, she needs me more than my fourteen year old.

Speaker 6 (32:59):
And I don't know that I would communicate with anybody
if I didn't live with my husband, or if I
didn't have like a family, like I'll tell my but
I do tell my sisters like, hey, I'm like I've
just been I've had like a hard time at work.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
I need a time out or sometimes I.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
Don't, but they know that if I ignore them, it's.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Because I'm just like mentally checked out, and I think
they mentally checked out for my three days off, like
I I got off work this morning, gonna work, go
back to work tonight, and then I'll be off for three.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
Days and then I still it still takes me till
seven pm tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Night for me to even feel Okay, yeah, so you know, and.

Speaker 11 (33:40):
So it's really really hard.

Speaker 6 (33:41):
I think and my my husband, Like I had had
a conversation with my husband and tell him like, hey,
you know, I I step out of the room sometimes
like don't don't have family time and I have to
like go to the room by myself and kind of
just like take time for myself.

Speaker 10 (33:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
I get it at that, like you do. I appreciate
you Colling. And I'll tell you something. People's people's other
people's needs are important, but they can be so freaking annoying,
sometimes unbelievable.
