Speaker 1 (00:00):
The show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
So the troop time heavyweight champion boxer George Foreman passed
away on Friday at the age of seventy six. Now,
what do Jason, What did George Foreman do? He made
a grill? See, I knew you would say that. What
he What did he do before that? Though? Uh? Did
(00:22):
he bite the ear?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh jesus, he was just planning to make a grill
before he made a grill.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh no, I'm kidding no, But but he bit the
ear right? No, that was Holyfield. Oh yeah, Mike Tyson
is not George. Yeah, yeah, no, No, they are very different,
very different men. Yeah, yeah, yeah, George Foreman though, the
two time heavyweight champion boxer did I did I say
(00:50):
yes to start the story? Yeah, I was gonna say didn't.
I just tell you what he did? And then what
you had to do is repeat it?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Sure, term memory issue. I'm definitely listening. He passed away.
Foreman also won an Olympic gold medal in nineteen sixty eight,
as he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame
as well. What did George Foreman do? He was a
boxer and he did not bite the ear. Yeah no, No.
He did, however, invent the George Foreman grill, which went
(01:21):
on to sell more than one hundred million units. I
don't know who did the interview with him, but I
saw one not that long ago about just sort of
how that all happened and whatever else. But he made
so much money on the George Foreman grill, like a
gazillion times more than he ever made as an analyst
or in boxing or whatever else. He also has twelve
children and five sons, and he named all five of
(01:42):
his sons George. What that's wild fun fact about George.
Twelve kids, five sons, they're all named George. So hey,
you know, it's how I feel like man. Oftentimes they'll
name their first son after themselves and then the rest
are named something else. And it's like, there's the one
(02:03):
that if if you're a let me ask you a
question eight five, five, five nine one one three five.
If you are a junior, or even if you're like
a female version of a junior, like you were named
after your mom or you were named after your dad,
do you have a higher expectation of performance than everybody else?
Or is it just you got the name of the
(02:23):
person because you were the firstborn, or do you feel
like because you're named after your dad? Like, I got it. Now,
I gotta do more with my life because I have
to accomplish more. I can't be a loser. Or do
you or do you feel like that that parent favors you?
Like for example, my niece, her name is Pollie Paula,
and she's named after my brother in law's aunt and
(02:46):
my aunt, not my mom my aunt. So I gotta
think that Polly's looking pretty good in the will from
my aunt. Not as good as me, but pretty good
because well she's the namesake, right, I gotta think that
benefits somewhere along the lines, doesn't it. You should none
of you, I guess none of you guys are a
junior in any sense. No, see, I wouldn't like I
(03:09):
have a daughter.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I personally like, Okay, the ants is cool, Like I
like that I can name my kid after my aunt
or whoever, but myself, I'm okay with that. There's already
one screw up named Paulina. We don't need to again, Like,
we don't need that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We just we don't have to be so harsh on
ourselves now, not being silly. But you know what I mean.
Everyone knows your name is Pauline, right, yes, don't get
me Paulina, Paulina, Pauline, Paula because yeah, Paula here at
work yep. Yeah, well or Paula by our HR director
who probably if all people should know your name. No,
the short version I always get this story messed up.
(03:44):
But the short version of the story is, you were
born in Chicago. There's a street called Paulina that looks
like Paulina. That's what your mom wanted to name you.
But the nurses make sure I'm getting this right. The
nurses said no because people will confuse it with the
name of the street. So they actually, like the nurses
convinced your your mom, yes, who was not was relatively
(04:05):
new to the country, No, don't do it that way.
Her name is going to be Pauline instead, so no
one confuses it. Is they get that right? You're right, yeah,
and that's a true story.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I had nurses who told my mother, do not, you know,
go with Paulina, because then Paula should be Paulina, right,
Like that's how you say it. And now they said
he should put an e because of the street Polina,
which wasn't far from where I was born, which was
eighteenth in California. If you know, you know, there's a
hospital there. And they they did not come to play.
They did not come to play. My mom, no epideroal know, nothing,
(04:34):
no water, no nothing. And they name they named her
baby period.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, okay, yeah, it's it's not great.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But I personally would.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Like to change my name, but legally I cannot to
Pauline or to like Steve. I would like to name
myself Paulina because that's all I ever known.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I don't know who Pauline is. But then I found
I gotta get like a whole.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
New social Security and all that, and you guys know
I'm not doing all that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm not violin papers for one letter. I don't know.
Maybe you get a fresh start on the on your
credit score and every I don't know. Wait, hold on,
now you got Kiki's been trying to do this for years.
The toll way people won't find it. I know a guy.
The men's NCAA is sweet sixteen. For some reason. That's
(05:21):
a hard thing to say. Matchups have been determined Thursday
and Friday, those games began Alabama versus b Yu, Florida
versus Maryland, Duke versus Arizona, Texas Tech versus Arkansas. And Friday,
it's Michigan State. Whoo, let's go go Green Go. Wait,
it's Michigan State, Ole, Miss Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn, Michigan. That's
(05:46):
when you say something bad but not Auburn.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, Michigan, Oh, I said, Oh, okay, Auburn versus Michigan.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, yuck, yuck. I don't think is there an Auburn Michigan.
I don't know, man, I don't know. There's always it's
like weird teams in this thing that I'm like, I've
never heard of you, Auburn. I'm sorry, we're pready determined.
You're not listening, Jason. I'm not surprised that you're confused.
Purdue all into sweet sixteen. That's that Thursday and Friday.
(06:16):
So there's a partnership that's been announced between door Dash
and I believe it's called Klarna. That's the name of
the business. I don't know. I don't use it. Yeah
after pay Baby. Yeah. I try to stay away from
that because I feel like this is the kind of
stuff that gets people in trouble like me. Yeah, but
door Dash in Klarna, you can now buy a burrito
(06:37):
or a McDonald's order and pay for it later across
for interest free payments. See's what I'm talking about. Like,
if I don't have the money for the for the burrito,
I don't need to be the burrito will very quickly
because it's already thirty five dollars to have it delivery.
If you've noticed, you know that the three dollars crunch
wrap or whatever from Taco Bell, it actually costs seventeen dollars.
(06:58):
But I certainly don't want to have to walk two
blocks to go get it, so sure, bring it to
me for seventeen. But if you're telling me that I
could then pay for it later, that's a problem because,
as I think, we've probably all learned it one time
or another in our lives. At seventeen dollars burrito, if
you don't pay for it in I think it's a
week or two or three or whatever it is, it
becomes a ninety seven thousand dollars burrito in no time.
(07:21):
You have to spend at least thirty five dollars. But
customers who defer payment on a fast food delivery are
significantly are at a significantly higher risk of missing one
of the interest free installment payments consumer reports. Warrens, if
you don't pay the bill on time and you start
getting multiple late fees, it could be a very expensive
(07:41):
pad tie. So I'll know about this one. I'm gonna say,
don't do it. That's what I'm gonna that's my financial
advice of the morning. Yeah, don't make installment payments on
a burrito, but just stand a cheaper burrito. The upside
could be like if you are making payments on something
and you make them on time, Like, doesn't that help
(08:02):
your credit? So like could that be good? Like one
good thing? Or no? I don't know. I feel like,
if we're making four payments on a taco bell order,
we don't need the taco bell, right, You're not here
doing God's work. Not this one doesn't help, Okay, I
don't Maybe, I mean that could be true, but I
feel like, you know, again, there's small payments so simple,
(08:25):
and then you're not. You forget one payment and then
all of a sudden, it like it kind of defeats
the purpose of not having the money at the time
because it becomes that much more expensive. Look at me,
I'm Dave Ramsey over here. You no't have the money,
then you can't have the Chelupah. I mean, I think
that's probably a wise I don't know me after walking
(08:49):
by it someone smoking weed and because of course I don't.
But if I were to walk by and it ingests
some secondhand smoke and I didn't have any money in
my checking account, that's going to become a very expensive
payment plan all of a sudden. So I don't think
I need it. I don't need it. Also, this morning,
the five worst fast foods for your health have been revealed.
These are specific menu items. Now, these are pretty gluttonous
(09:13):
menu items. Like I don't know that everybody's just and
I'm not judging you if you are, but I'm not
sure if everyone's just pulling up an order in this stuff,
you know, just like it's These are a typical things,
but you're not supposed to eat them every day. Okay.
Some of the worst defenders on this list the bacon
king from Burger King.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I don't know what that is, but it sounds like
a higher level of commitment to bacon than just every
bacon sandwich. You know, like I don't know, you know,
I mean, like you they have like the Son of
the Baconator at Wendy's, which is like a small bacon
cheeseburger kind of thing. They also have like the Grandfather
Baconator that's like seven feet tall and it has like
(09:54):
eighty eight thousand pieces of bacon on it, and like
they have it. It doesn't mean you have to get
it every time you go. But maybe the big Bacon
Classic triple See, that's what I'm talking about from Wendy's,
the honey Barbecue chicken strip basket from Dairy Queen. These
are all packed with high levels of fat, sodium, and carbs.
Other unhealthy options to avoid the sausage patty breakfast crunch
(10:17):
wrap from Taco Bell, the Crispy Chicken Club wrap from Arbi's,
and the mac and cheese bread bowl from Panera. I
want to hear both sides of the story on that one,
Like surely there's something redeeming about it, Like I don't know,
dairy is that good? Their mac and cheese is so good,
but it is a lot of calories. But and you
(10:38):
know what, he's good for the environment because there's no waste,
but for sure. Yeah, you're filling the vest. You can
eat the vessel.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
If I can eat the vessel, I'm canceling out whatever
bad part for me that's being canceled out by However,
I'm helping the environment. Yeah, I'm full of them. I'm
full of rose. I'm full of it. And then the
sausage patty breakfast crunch trapt. That just sounds like I
remember when my sister had one of those for the
first time, and she called me and she was embarrassed
(11:08):
because she was at first very upset because she thought
she'd ordered a hash brown and she drove away and
there was no hash brown to be found. She was mad.
She was about to turn around and go get her
hash brown and read them and tell them where is
my hash brown? This is an unacceptable business practice. And
then she instead decided just to take a bite of
whatever she got, only to find the hash brown was
(11:29):
within Oh it was stop shopping. It was handheld breakfast.
It was all right there. She'e the hash brown, the egg,
the sausage, it was all just right there in one hand,
just ready to be consumed. And she loved the efficiency.
She was so excited she had to call me and
tell me there's a hash brown inside the thing. That's right.
Oh yeah, on the go. Now, if you eat all that,
(11:50):
then you probably won't need this. But it doesn't matter
because you can't have it anyway. A chubby filter from
TikTok has been pulled after complaints of toxic body shamming.
Let me tell you, when I'm on TikTok, I am
not looking for the filter that makes me look the fattest.
I don't need that filter at all. I'm looking for
the filter that makes my skin look you know, China, dull, pristine,
(12:15):
and that makes me look the skinniest and the best light. Okay,
So I'm not looking for this, which is why i didn't
even know it existed. However, a TikTok filter has now
been banned after experts warn that it created a toxic
online culture. The chubby filter used AI to make it
appear as though users had gained a lot of weight,
so you would post a before and after picture, one
picture showing your regular appearance and the others showing yourself
(12:38):
with a greater body weight. However, experts have worn that
this could contribute to a toxic diet culture and as
a result, TikTok has stepped in to ban the filter altogether.
So there it is. But I didn't know it existed,
because that's certainly is not what I'm looking for when
I'm posting to whatever social platform. Look at me looking fat.
(13:00):
I don't need a filter for that. And finally, a
Florida man has been arrested because he swallowed seven hundred
and seventy thousand dollars worth of Tiffany and Company jewelry.
So the guy was staying in a Orlando hospital for
multiple If you swallow a million dollars worth of diamonds,
I guess they keep you hit the hospital until they
(13:21):
find the diamonds. Oh no, right, because you got a
million dollars worth of stuff in you. So he had
to stay at the hospital for multiple weeks until he
passed all of the diamond earrings, and they've been able
to recover all four of the ear rings, as well
as two other unidentified ear rings. I guess I'm not
sure he swallowed a lot of diamonds. What I want
(13:42):
to know is, if I go to Tiffany with a
million dollars today and I want to buy some ear rings,
are they the ones that pass through this man. Oh yeah,
because they recovered them. So what are they doing with them?
I they're gonna just put them back in a little
blue box and sell them to somebody cleaning them. No,
(14:02):
so I guess. Last month, the guy post is representative
for an NBA player and was taken to a private
room to inspect all the diamonds. He then proceeded to
swallow them all and then leave. He was pulled over
a few hours later, arrested, and then put into the
hospital where he had to pass them all and he did.
I can't imagine. I don't know. I have a lot
of questions, but that can't be a pleasurable process. Oh yeah,
(14:25):
what'd you do with him? I ate him? Okay? Well,
and then whose job is it to go find him? Then?
Like this is terrible? Don't we don't think nurses enough?
Because I bet it was some nurse somewhere at some
hospital that was like, really, I have to do this.
Do I get one of the diamonds, because then you know,
maybe they go upon it or something. At that point,
(14:46):
don't you have to tell anybody where they were? But
somebody had to sort through that guy's stuff for two
weeks to find a million dollars worth of diamonds that
he swallowed. Disgusting. It's National Cocktail Day and National Cheesecake
Day today as well. The entertainment four Kalm's got that
next team, so minutes after says that will do blogs
are audio journals waiting by the phone? Why did somebody
(15:06):
get ghosted? Brand new? And in the next twenty minutes
we'll do it order. It's a fresh show. It's Geeky's
cord hold it eight eight, Oh my god, no, no,
let's talk about it. What happened? First of all, is
there he he won and he won six hundred and
(15:29):
fifty dollars. He didn't win one hundred and fifty dollars
to three and two who texted. So guys, let's make
sure that we know everything before we are outraged. Okay,
thank you, That's all I ask. You know, feel free
to be outraged. Just have all the information about thirteen.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, yeah, the kids was cheating and everything else, what
was going out.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I'm not I'm not willing to accuse children of cheating yet.
I'm just not. I'm not. I'm not at that level.
I'm not that level yet, that level of petty. Nonetheless,
it starts over tomorrow one hundred bucks and if you
don't lose, then you get all the money. Okay, congrats, Mathew,
have no fear, Have no fear. Kiki, Judge Keky is here,
(16:13):
the honorable judge. Kiki. All rise, judge, if you would.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
All right, let's step into the courtroom, it says, Heiki Key.
One of my best friends is getting married soon, but
I won't be in attendance. When my friend got engaged,
I was so happy for her. We celebrated her engagement
and she mentioned something to me about being in her
bridal party, and we were both so excited. After all,
she was the maid of honor in my wedding. But
(16:38):
fast forward months later, I see photos from her bachelorette
vacation on social media. That is how I learned that
I am not in her wedding. The sad part is
that I think the only reason she didn't include me
is because her fiance and I had a heated exchange
on Facebook over politics.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well that might be one reason. Yeah, yeah, I could
have something to do with it. I've noticed that people
are for sneaky about that these days. I don't see
that happens. I just said it's so surprising that somebody
would have a differing political opinion and then eliminate you
from their lives. That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Yeah, she says, she did send me an invitation to
the wedding, and I've decided to decline the invite.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
What do you think should I still attend? So she's
mad because she's not in the wedding party. Yes, but.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
She was invited to the wedding. She was invited to
the wedding. Now keep in mind, this girl was her
maid of honor in her wedding, So you stood beside
me as my maid of honor, but you don't even
think to include me in your wedding party at all.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I feel like the only way that works is if
you have a complete and total falling out. I don't
think you can demote a former maid of honor. I
don't know that. I don't know that they have to
be the maid of honor, right, But if someone is
significant enough in your life, Judge Kiki, to be your
maid of honor, then wouldn't you think that they would
include you in their day as well.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I mean it's nice to think, you know, we all
can think and assume, but it's really up to the
bride and if you don't make the cut, I think,
as my friend, you know, if you're having issues with
my fiance, there's a lot that goes into planning a
wedding and being a part of the bridal party. There's rehearsals,
there's dinners, there's back bridal showers, all these things. And
(18:26):
if I've decided, you know what, it's best for my
mental health that you are not a part of those
things because you can't get along with my fiance, I
feel like that's my prerogative right. But as my friend,
I don't think you shouldn't go to her wedding. You
know what I'm saying, Like, you still be there and
show up to support your friend. You go, you say, hey,
you know you were my maid of honor. I thought
(18:46):
we were tighter than this. I thought we were closer
than what you know this shows. But I'm still here
on your day to support you because at the end
of the day, it's not about me, it's about you.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So you did what you felt was right.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
And I I mean, because yeah, it feels bad to
see your friends on you know, vacation without you and
you're like, oh my god, that was my maid of honor.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
She didn't even include me.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
You can feel all the things, but at the end
of the day, the bride still has the right to
make the decision that she made.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
In my opinion, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And like unless, I mean, there's people whose wed weddings
that I was in that I wouldn't necessarily have in
mind if I were to get married today. And I
also think, like, you know, if you want the friendship
to end, then you can skip out on the wedding.
But if you are not okay with the friendship ending,
then you need to go to the wedding and you
need to swallow it and just keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah. By the way, Kaylyn's still looking for this woman
with the Venmo request. You guys she paid me. Oh nice,
you finally got your sixty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I had to go to someone else to ask for help,
who then made a group chat who then she didn't
answer for days.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But we finally got our success. So maybe this woman
is being done a favor by not having to go
to all this shit. I just I don't know how you.
I feel like you got to find a place. You're
made of honor caliber, but yet you're not even in
a wedding party for the other person. I don't I
don't know. I mean it feels like quite the demotion. Yeah,
(20:09):
I don't eat five five five, one three five. You
guys are the jury. I mean, how would you feel
about that? How would you feel if you made someone
you're maid of honor or you're you're best man, and
then that person turns around and gets married however long later,
and you're not even included in the wedding party. You
don't get to go to the bachelorette party, the bachelor party.
(20:30):
This is your group of friends too. You don't even
get to be there. Like, that's like I got invited
to a bachelor party. It's the famous Key West bachelor party.
A bunch of great guys in Key West have no idea,
no idea why they chose that place. I have no
I mean, I was so disappointed. I'm like, finally we
have grown up money and we don't have to go
to like South Padre Island. Yeah right, we can go
(20:51):
to like Prague or somebody, like some someplace insane, like
there's a bunch of doctors and lawyers and then anitia
radio personality. I'm like, we got grown up money, we
can go. I do grown up stuff now. Oh no.
We went to Key West, but I wasn't in the wedding,
but I was included because I think the guy was like, well,
you're our buddy too, but like I didn't know. I
was kind of the adopted member of the friend group.
(21:14):
So I didn't deserve to be in the wedding, and
I wasn't upset about that, but I thought it was
cool that he invited me to the bachelor party anyway,
because I think he wanted to avoid what this woman's
going through, which is basically everybody got invited to the
bachelor party who was going to be in the wedding
because he'd known them since they were kids. And then
I wouldn't have gotten to go because I wasn't in
(21:34):
the wedding, but it still would have been fun for
me to have been included, right, So he did that
for me. So I don't know if it different with girls,
like would you be would you be upset as a girl?
Would you feel slighted if it was, Hey, look you're
not going to be in the wedding, but you can't
come to the bachelorette party.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Oh no, see now, That's where I would be upset
because don't ask me to pay money to come to
your trip and come, you know, pay on your bachelorette festivities.
And I'm not a part of the writer party. That's
an absolute for me. But when it comes down to
the wedding, I feel like we've all had friends who
have had partners that we weren't totally head over heels for.
We didn't think they were a good person, we didn't
like the guy, whatever, But you still stay loyal to
(22:11):
your friend because at some point he's going to show
his true colors to her, and you know, you still
want to be there for her when that all hits
the fan, because I would go to the wedding. You know,
when they say does anybody object? I would call real loud,
you know anybody object to this union? Yes, I do,
you know, but I would still be there for my friend.
I just think we can't just assume that people are
(22:32):
going to hold us at the same type of standard
we hold them in our lives all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I've said this before, Kiki. I at this point in
my life, I feel like I would need to just
elope if I ever got married, like call my parents
and call her parents or whatever and be like, Okay,
because the list of people that I'm going to offend
at this point after having been alive this long invite,
(22:57):
or I don't put in the wedding party, or I
I mean I've stood in multiple I've stood in more
than one wedding for the same human being at this point. Really,
I've stood in weddings. I mean, one guy's dead, Oh
I'm no, yeah, or I shout out to Stuart Man,
but I'm just saying like I've been No, he was
a great guy. I'm just saying I've been around long
(23:19):
enough at this point in my you know, early mid
forties or whatever that I there's no way that I
could get everybody in my wedding party who is important
to me. So I feel like, rather, I feel like
I as a guy without a girlfriend, I think about
things like what I'm gonna do at my non wedding,
but it's like I feel like I would have to
do something quick and dirty because I wouldn't mean to
(23:42):
not include anyone. But I think I could really hurt
some people's feelings if I didn't include them in a
wedding or in a bridal party. And I wouldn't want
to do that.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, I can't picture you either way, like having a
whole circus wedding.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I really don't with like caters and this and that and.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
The tucks fittings and like having a whole you know,
bachelor whatever part.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I can't picture that picture because you're so low key
too that I feel like you would just be like, hey,
we're doing this next Saturday. You guys want to come?
Like That's how I see it, and not because you're mad, Pauline.
It would be you guys. It would be my parents,
my sister, my brother in law, probably my nieces. And
then you know, I've got a couple really close, like
super close friends. And then outside of that, I have
a lot of friends, a lot of friends, but they're
(24:21):
not I don't know, I don't. I mean, I'm either
going to have to invite a thousand people or nobody.
And I don't mean that as like a humble brag,
but it's it if I think you get to a
certain point in your life where I've got a lot
of different work people that I value, I've got a
lot of different friends I value. I've got friends in
like you know, to Paulina's point, I've got friends for
different categories, and I think there'll be a lot of
(24:41):
people who would be upset, and not because I'm popular,
but because, you know, you get to a certain point
in your life where you just you've been exposed to
a lot of different people who mean something to you,
and uh, and this is the kind of messy stuff
that happens. Hey, Marissa, good morning, welcome to the show.
How are you.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Thank you, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Guys, thank you, We love you too. So Keky's Court, basically,
it's a woman who was is getting married and and
how do I explain this best she's.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Left out of the bridal party by her best friend
because she doesn't like her husband.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And this woman was also her maid of honor. So
there's kind of like you would think there would be
a reciprocation thing going on here.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
So I'm currently in the process of planning my wedding
as well, and one of the things that I think
is most important is it's your wedding and you have
to do what's best for you. So I agree with
what Keiki said, Like, if that's what she decided, that's
what she decided. But she needs to have a conversation
with this girl, like you just don't go silent and
go ghost. If she was her, your maid of honor
(25:44):
or whatever that relationship was, like something had to have happened,
whether it was the issue on politics or not, but regardless,
give her the courtesy to call her and say, hey,
here's where we're at. I don't want you to be
upset XYZ and then go from there instead of just
not saying anything and just sending out an invite and
she finds out through social media that she wasn't invited
(26:05):
or a part.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Of the wedding.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Yeah, that's a good point because if we're best friends,
that's the least you can do is explain is tell
me why I'm not included exactly.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
And then coming down to the girl if she should
or should not go to the wedding. I think she
should go regardless, like she might have some tip of
feeling on it. But again, that's when she could have
that conversation. She attends the wedding, and then after the fact,
she could then call that woman and say, hey, I
attended your wedding, but I feel some type of way
on the fact that I wasn't included in the first place,
(26:35):
but I still wanted to be there for you and
just resolve it through communication, and.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well there for you at the divorce. Well, right, maybe
is it Marisa or Marissa? Did I say right, Marissa? Marissa?
So let me ask this, because you're planning your wedding now,
Like I could come up with as many people as
you want to stand up there, but don't you want
the numbers to be? And like, let's say that I
(27:01):
only wanted to include. Let's say I only had two
or three friends that I thought were close enough to
stand up there. And so then wouldn't would you then
go and have seven if you had seven, or would
you then narrow it down to three too, so that
it were even on both sides and that way, I mean,
that would make it really difficult. But at least then
you could say, well, he picked three, I picked three.
(27:21):
So I had to draw the line somewhere, I guess,
I mean.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
At the end of the day, like it really just
depends on the person, Like how I was. I always
thought I would be the person where I was like
I need to have even numbers, But then when it
came down to it, like I had five, really good
friends who I was gonna have stand up and I
had a falling out with one of them, so it
was about to be like four for me and five
(27:46):
for my fiance. And I sat there and I was like,
I'm not just going to fill a position when they
don't hold the same weight of relationship as the other
four who I am having stand up is. So I
think it just really depends on what you're feeling is
on it, and I don't think you need a reason
besides the fact of here's what it is. Here's where
our relationship stands. It's not that I don't love you,
(28:08):
it's not that I don't care about you, but I
felt X y Z, and this is why I'm going
to move forward.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
With not having you.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
But again, that comes down to the communication that the
bride should have called her quote unquote best friend to.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Tell her that.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
Yeah, but the fact you didn't, I.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Think there's something that had to have happened because you
don't just randomly not include.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Your best friend, right.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, this is friendship ending stuff right here. But thank you, Marissa,
have a good day.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Thanks you too.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah. I agree with whoever said that it is. This
is the kind of stuff where if you don't handle
it right, you wind up without a friend forever. But
then at the same time, you got to show some grit.
It's tricky.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Hey Raquel, Yeah, sorry, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hey Raquel, welcome. What do you think kikey'scord.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
She should not attend the wedding. I think the point
is that she was not told by the bride that
she was not going to be included in the wedding,
and she found out via social mediation of the situation. Yes,
that's so, there's no conversation. You find out via photo.
(29:14):
So then you expect me to go to the wedding.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
No.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
I don't think she should have to go to the
wedding at all, and she shouldn't send a gift either, Oh.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Business girl. Okay, yeah, I mean I think there could
have been a world where you had the conversation, she
didn't find out the way she found out. You weren't
sneaky about it, and and maybe there would be some
understanding and maybe some hurt feelings. But okay, but this way,
it's like you're trying to pull one over on me,
kinda correct.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
So had you had the conversation and said, hey, you know,
Brad my fiance does not want you in the wedding.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Because of whatever the political fight was.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
I'm sorry, I have to rescind the invitation to include
you in the wedding, but I still want you to come.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Then you go to the wedding.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
But the lack of conversation for someone who's allegedly a
best friend, no, I'm sorry, you don't go to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I'll tell you what. Brad and his damn tesla driving around.
It's always a problem. Have a good time, all right,
Thank you. Don't don't at me. I just picked a
random thing that people are mad about, So don't don't
at me on that. Hi, Sarah, how are you doing?
Good morning? Good morning, Hey Kiki's court. What say you?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I definitely think that that has become a one way friendship.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That girl is not her front no more.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
She didn't even have the decency to talk to her
about it.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
And me personally, if it was me, if that person
was that important to me, I'd be telling my fiance, Yeah,
she's gonna be in my wedding and you're just gonna
have to deal with if she's that good of a friend.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, that is a wild thing. Is for a fight
between them to trump no pun intended, but to I
don't know who's on what side, but you know, that's
that's pretty wild to say that a fight that you
had with this significant other of mine, that that's the
reason that you can't be in my wedding and we're
going to end a lifelong friendship over that. Like, that's
(31:10):
that's crazy a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Most definitely, I think that the girl should not go
because me and Patty I want to be able to
hold it in.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
I'd probably mess up her.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Weddings with my comments.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
So yeah, there was a way to handle it, a
new way that this is. This wasn't it. Thank you, Sarah,
have a great day, guys, you too, And Lee says
that she her best friend did the same thing, but
she did go to the wedding. Hold on, let's hear
the story quickly and then we'll do the entertainment report. Hey, Lee,
what happened? Good morning?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Hey, good morning guys. I'm one of the thirteen.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Thank you love you for that.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
So yeah, I actually found out that my friend cut
out my picture and asked everybody else and I wasn't
asked because I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Oh, my god. Wow, man, that's awful.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Is she thought that I couldn't afford it be her,
you know, in the wedding group, so she decided that
financially it would be safe not to ask me to
be in her party. And I found out because I
did confront her and she did cry. I cried, and
you know what, we're so best friends.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That is what it is. Man. I'm so you know
you you would think that in that situation, and I've
heard of this happening like low key. They just kind
of build it into the budget of the wedding like yeah,
you know, uh, like Lee's got to be there, so
we'll make it work. And then you because you know,
people go through hard times and whatever and whatever.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
It was who I was dating. It was who I
was dating at the time, to be honest. Yeah, yeah,
he sucked me dry. So he's gone.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad things. You
guys are still friends, right, yes?
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well? Good have a good daily.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yeah you guys as well.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Take care too. Yeah. We had a buddy, a college buddy, uh,
and he was in dental school and didn't have any
money and so was like literally had he was scraping
by just to get through dental school and and our
other buddy got married and so it was like, look,
he's not gonna be able to go because he didn't
have any money. And and then it was a destination wedding.
(33:21):
I think it was can Coon and it was expensive,
and you know, Caitlin spent through this one hundred times.
At least it was can Coon and not you know,
uh sal Polo, Brazil or wherever they helped you ever
to get. But anyway, so they they worked it in
so that they paid for him, and he was super
grateful and you know, because he wanted to be there
and the whole and he really couldn't afford it. So
we all show up to this thing and we all
(33:42):
meet in the lobby check in, and we're all having
a nice time, and this this guy who who who
who my friend paid for was like this place is
so nice and we're like, yes, I guess it's pretty nice.
He's like, I've never stayed in a hotel room like
this before in my life, Like it is, it is fantastic.
I have my own pool, like you guys have your
own pool. And my buddy looks at him and goes, dude,
(34:03):
you're in the presidential suite. That's our room, said it's available.
Get the hell out, like your stuff, get out of
He's like, there's a dining room in it, there's a butler.
My buddy's like that thinks fifteen hundred bucks a night,
that's mine. Get out. But if you hadn't said anything,
you would have had this palace that week and it
(34:23):
would have been make
The show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
So the troop time heavyweight champion boxer George Foreman passed
away on Friday at the age of seventy six. Now,
what do Jason, What did George Foreman do? He made
a grill? See, I knew you would say that. What
he What did he do before that? Though? Uh? Did
(00:22):
he bite the ear?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Oh jesus, he was just planning to make a grill
before he made a grill.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh no, I'm kidding no, But but he bit the
ear right? No, that was Holyfield. Oh yeah, Mike Tyson
is not George. Yeah, yeah, no, No, they are very different,
very different men. Yeah, yeah, yeah, George Foreman though, the
two time heavyweight champion boxer did I did I say
(00:50):
yes to start the story? Yeah, I was gonna say didn't.
I just tell you what he did? And then what
you had to do is repeat it?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Sure, term memory issue. I'm definitely listening. He passed away.
Foreman also won an Olympic gold medal in nineteen sixty eight,
as he was inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame
as well. What did George Foreman do? He was a
boxer and he did not bite the ear. Yeah no, No.
He did, however, invent the George Foreman grill, which went
(01:21):
on to sell more than one hundred million units. I
don't know who did the interview with him, but I
saw one not that long ago about just sort of
how that all happened and whatever else. But he made
so much money on the George Foreman grill, like a
gazillion times more than he ever made as an analyst
or in boxing or whatever else. He also has twelve
children and five sons, and he named all five of
(01:42):
his sons George. What that's wild fun fact about George.
Twelve kids, five sons, they're all named George. So hey,
you know, it's how I feel like man. Oftentimes they'll
name their first son after themselves and then the rest
are named something else. And it's like, there's the one
(02:03):
that if if you're a let me ask you a
question eight five, five, five nine one one three five.
If you are a junior, or even if you're like
a female version of a junior, like you were named
after your mom or you were named after your dad,
do you have a higher expectation of performance than everybody else?
Or is it just you got the name of the
(02:23):
person because you were the firstborn, or do you feel
like because you're named after your dad? Like, I got it. Now,
I gotta do more with my life because I have
to accomplish more. I can't be a loser. Or do
you or do you feel like that that parent favors you?
Like for example, my niece, her name is Pollie Paula,
and she's named after my brother in law's aunt and
(02:46):
my aunt, not my mom my aunt. So I gotta
think that Polly's looking pretty good in the will from
my aunt. Not as good as me, but pretty good
because well she's the namesake, right, I gotta think that
benefits somewhere along the lines, doesn't it. You should none
of you, I guess none of you guys are a
junior in any sense. No, see, I wouldn't like I
(03:09):
have a daughter.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
I personally like, Okay, the ants is cool, Like I
like that I can name my kid after my aunt
or whoever, but myself, I'm okay with that. There's already
one screw up named Paulina. We don't need to again, Like,
we don't need that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We just we don't have to be so harsh on
ourselves now, not being silly. But you know what I mean.
Everyone knows your name is Pauline, right, yes, don't get
me Paulina, Paulina, Pauline, Paula because yeah, Paula here at
work yep. Yeah, well or Paula by our HR director
who probably if all people should know your name. No,
the short version I always get this story messed up.
(03:44):
But the short version of the story is, you were
born in Chicago. There's a street called Paulina that looks
like Paulina. That's what your mom wanted to name you.
But the nurses make sure I'm getting this right. The
nurses said no because people will confuse it with the
name of the street. So they actually, like the nurses
convinced your your mom, yes, who was not was relatively
(04:05):
new to the country, No, don't do it that way.
Her name is going to be Pauline instead, so no
one confuses it. Is they get that right? You're right, yeah,
and that's a true story.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
I had nurses who told my mother, do not, you know,
go with Paulina, because then Paula should be Paulina, right,
Like that's how you say it. And now they said
he should put an e because of the street Polina,
which wasn't far from where I was born, which was
eighteenth in California. If you know, you know, there's a
hospital there. And they they did not come to play.
They did not come to play. My mom, no epideroal know, nothing,
(04:34):
no water, no nothing. And they name they named her
baby period.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
I know, okay, yeah, it's it's not great.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
But I personally would.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Like to change my name, but legally I cannot to
Pauline or to like Steve. I would like to name
myself Paulina because that's all I ever known.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I don't know who Pauline is. But then I found
I gotta get like a whole.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
New social Security and all that, and you guys know
I'm not doing all that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm not violin papers for one letter. I don't know.
Maybe you get a fresh start on the on your
credit score and every I don't know. Wait, hold on,
now you got Kiki's been trying to do this for years.
The toll way people won't find it. I know a guy.
The men's NCAA is sweet sixteen. For some reason. That's
(05:21):
a hard thing to say. Matchups have been determined Thursday
and Friday, those games began Alabama versus b Yu, Florida
versus Maryland, Duke versus Arizona, Texas Tech versus Arkansas. And Friday,
it's Michigan State. Whoo, let's go go Green Go. Wait,
it's Michigan State, Ole, Miss Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn, Michigan. That's
(05:46):
when you say something bad but not Auburn.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Well, Michigan, Oh, I said, Oh, okay, Auburn versus Michigan.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, yuck, yuck. I don't think is there an Auburn Michigan.
I don't know, man, I don't know. There's always it's
like weird teams in this thing that I'm like, I've
never heard of you, Auburn. I'm sorry, we're pready determined.
You're not listening, Jason. I'm not surprised that you're confused.
Purdue all into sweet sixteen. That's that Thursday and Friday.
(06:16):
So there's a partnership that's been announced between door Dash
and I believe it's called Klarna. That's the name of
the business. I don't know. I don't use it. Yeah
after pay Baby. Yeah. I try to stay away from
that because I feel like this is the kind of
stuff that gets people in trouble like me. Yeah, but
door Dash in Klarna, you can now buy a burrito
(06:37):
or a McDonald's order and pay for it later across
for interest free payments. See's what I'm talking about. Like,
if I don't have the money for the for the burrito,
I don't need to be the burrito will very quickly
because it's already thirty five dollars to have it delivery.
If you've noticed, you know that the three dollars crunch
wrap or whatever from Taco Bell, it actually costs seventeen dollars.
(06:58):
But I certainly don't want to have to walk two
blocks to go get it, so sure, bring it to
me for seventeen. But if you're telling me that I
could then pay for it later, that's a problem because,
as I think, we've probably all learned it one time
or another in our lives. At seventeen dollars burrito, if
you don't pay for it in I think it's a
week or two or three or whatever it is, it
becomes a ninety seven thousand dollars burrito in no time.
(07:21):
You have to spend at least thirty five dollars. But
customers who defer payment on a fast food delivery are
significantly are at a significantly higher risk of missing one
of the interest free installment payments consumer reports. Warrens, if
you don't pay the bill on time and you start
getting multiple late fees, it could be a very expensive
(07:41):
pad tie. So I'll know about this one. I'm gonna say,
don't do it. That's what I'm gonna that's my financial
advice of the morning. Yeah, don't make installment payments on
a burrito, but just stand a cheaper burrito. The upside
could be like if you are making payments on something
and you make them on time, Like, doesn't that help
(08:02):
your credit? So like could that be good? Like one
good thing? Or no? I don't know. I feel like,
if we're making four payments on a taco bell order,
we don't need the taco bell, right, You're not here
doing God's work. Not this one doesn't help, Okay, I
don't Maybe, I mean that could be true, but I
feel like, you know, again, there's small payments so simple,
(08:25):
and then you're not. You forget one payment and then
all of a sudden, it like it kind of defeats
the purpose of not having the money at the time
because it becomes that much more expensive. Look at me,
I'm Dave Ramsey over here. You no't have the money,
then you can't have the Chelupah. I mean, I think
that's probably a wise I don't know me after walking
(08:49):
by it someone smoking weed and because of course I don't.
But if I were to walk by and it ingests
some secondhand smoke and I didn't have any money in
my checking account, that's going to become a very expensive
payment plan all of a sudden. So I don't think
I need it. I don't need it. Also, this morning,
the five worst fast foods for your health have been revealed.
These are specific menu items. Now, these are pretty gluttonous
(09:13):
menu items. Like I don't know that everybody's just and
I'm not judging you if you are, but I'm not
sure if everyone's just pulling up an order in this stuff,
you know, just like it's These are a typical things,
but you're not supposed to eat them every day. Okay.
Some of the worst defenders on this list the bacon
king from Burger King.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I don't know what that is, but it sounds like
a higher level of commitment to bacon than just every
bacon sandwich. You know, like I don't know, you know,
I mean, like you they have like the Son of
the Baconator at Wendy's, which is like a small bacon
cheeseburger kind of thing. They also have like the Grandfather
Baconator that's like seven feet tall and it has like
(09:54):
eighty eight thousand pieces of bacon on it, and like
they have it. It doesn't mean you have to get
it every time you go. But maybe the big Bacon
Classic triple See, that's what I'm talking about from Wendy's,
the honey Barbecue chicken strip basket from Dairy Queen. These
are all packed with high levels of fat, sodium, and carbs.
Other unhealthy options to avoid the sausage patty breakfast crunch
(10:17):
wrap from Taco Bell, the Crispy Chicken Club wrap from Arbi's,
and the mac and cheese bread bowl from Panera. I
want to hear both sides of the story on that one,
Like surely there's something redeeming about it, Like I don't know,
dairy is that good? Their mac and cheese is so good,
but it is a lot of calories. But and you
(10:38):
know what, he's good for the environment because there's no waste,
but for sure. Yeah, you're filling the vest. You can
eat the vessel.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
If I can eat the vessel, I'm canceling out whatever
bad part for me that's being canceled out by However,
I'm helping the environment. Yeah, I'm full of them. I'm
full of rose. I'm full of it. And then the
sausage patty breakfast crunch trapt. That just sounds like I
remember when my sister had one of those for the
first time, and she called me and she was embarrassed
(11:08):
because she was at first very upset because she thought
she'd ordered a hash brown and she drove away and
there was no hash brown to be found. She was mad.
She was about to turn around and go get her
hash brown and read them and tell them where is
my hash brown? This is an unacceptable business practice. And
then she instead decided just to take a bite of
whatever she got, only to find the hash brown was
(11:29):
within Oh it was stop shopping. It was handheld breakfast.
It was all right there. She'e the hash brown, the egg,
the sausage, it was all just right there in one hand,
just ready to be consumed. And she loved the efficiency.
She was so excited she had to call me and
tell me there's a hash brown inside the thing. That's right.
Oh yeah, on the go. Now, if you eat all that,
(11:50):
then you probably won't need this. But it doesn't matter
because you can't have it anyway. A chubby filter from
TikTok has been pulled after complaints of toxic body shamming.
Let me tell you, when I'm on TikTok, I am
not looking for the filter that makes me look the fattest.
I don't need that filter at all. I'm looking for
the filter that makes my skin look you know, China, dull, pristine,
(12:15):
and that makes me look the skinniest and the best light. Okay,
So I'm not looking for this, which is why i didn't
even know it existed. However, a TikTok filter has now
been banned after experts warn that it created a toxic
online culture. The chubby filter used AI to make it
appear as though users had gained a lot of weight,
so you would post a before and after picture, one
picture showing your regular appearance and the others showing yourself
(12:38):
with a greater body weight. However, experts have worn that
this could contribute to a toxic diet culture and as
a result, TikTok has stepped in to ban the filter altogether.
So there it is. But I didn't know it existed,
because that's certainly is not what I'm looking for when
I'm posting to whatever social platform. Look at me looking fat.
(13:00):
I don't need a filter for that. And finally, a
Florida man has been arrested because he swallowed seven hundred
and seventy thousand dollars worth of Tiffany and Company jewelry.
So the guy was staying in a Orlando hospital for
multiple If you swallow a million dollars worth of diamonds,
I guess they keep you hit the hospital until they
(13:21):
find the diamonds. Oh no, right, because you got a
million dollars worth of stuff in you. So he had
to stay at the hospital for multiple weeks until he
passed all of the diamond earrings, and they've been able
to recover all four of the ear rings, as well
as two other unidentified ear rings. I guess I'm not
sure he swallowed a lot of diamonds. What I want
(13:42):
to know is, if I go to Tiffany with a
million dollars today and I want to buy some ear rings,
are they the ones that pass through this man. Oh yeah,
because they recovered them. So what are they doing with them?
I they're gonna just put them back in a little
blue box and sell them to somebody cleaning them. No,
(14:02):
so I guess. Last month, the guy post is representative
for an NBA player and was taken to a private
room to inspect all the diamonds. He then proceeded to
swallow them all and then leave. He was pulled over
a few hours later, arrested, and then put into the
hospital where he had to pass them all and he did.
I can't imagine. I don't know. I have a lot
of questions, but that can't be a pleasurable process. Oh yeah,
(14:25):
what'd you do with him? I ate him? Okay? Well,
and then whose job is it to go find him? Then?
Like this is terrible? Don't we don't think nurses enough?
Because I bet it was some nurse somewhere at some
hospital that was like, really, I have to do this.
Do I get one of the diamonds, because then you know,
maybe they go upon it or something. At that point,
(14:46):
don't you have to tell anybody where they were? But
somebody had to sort through that guy's stuff for two
weeks to find a million dollars worth of diamonds that
he swallowed. Disgusting. It's National Cocktail Day and National Cheesecake
Day today as well. The entertainment four Kalm's got that
next team, so minutes after says that will do blogs
are audio journals waiting by the phone? Why did somebody
(15:06):
get ghosted? Brand new? And in the next twenty minutes
we'll do it order. It's a fresh show. It's Geeky's
cord hold it eight eight, Oh my god, no, no,
let's talk about it. What happened? First of all, is
there he he won and he won six hundred and
(15:29):
fifty dollars. He didn't win one hundred and fifty dollars
to three and two who texted. So guys, let's make
sure that we know everything before we are outraged. Okay,
thank you, That's all I ask. You know, feel free
to be outraged. Just have all the information about thirteen.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, yeah, the kids was cheating and everything else, what
was going out.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
I'm not I'm not willing to accuse children of cheating yet.
I'm just not. I'm not. I'm not at that level.
I'm not that level yet, that level of petty. Nonetheless,
it starts over tomorrow one hundred bucks and if you
don't lose, then you get all the money. Okay, congrats, Mathew,
have no fear, Have no fear. Kiki, Judge Keky is here,
(16:13):
the honorable judge. Kiki. All rise, judge, if you would.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
All right, let's step into the courtroom, it says, Heiki Key.
One of my best friends is getting married soon, but
I won't be in attendance. When my friend got engaged,
I was so happy for her. We celebrated her engagement
and she mentioned something to me about being in her
bridal party, and we were both so excited. After all,
she was the maid of honor in my wedding. But
(16:38):
fast forward months later, I see photos from her bachelorette
vacation on social media. That is how I learned that
I am not in her wedding. The sad part is
that I think the only reason she didn't include me
is because her fiance and I had a heated exchange
on Facebook over politics.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Well that might be one reason. Yeah, yeah, I could
have something to do with it. I've noticed that people
are for sneaky about that these days. I don't see
that happens. I just said it's so surprising that somebody
would have a differing political opinion and then eliminate you
from their lives. That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Yeah, she says, she did send me an invitation to
the wedding, and I've decided to decline the invite.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
What do you think should I still attend? So she's
mad because she's not in the wedding party. Yes, but.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
She was invited to the wedding. She was invited to
the wedding. Now keep in mind, this girl was her
maid of honor in her wedding, So you stood beside
me as my maid of honor, but you don't even
think to include me in your wedding party at all.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
I feel like the only way that works is if
you have a complete and total falling out. I don't
think you can demote a former maid of honor. I
don't know that. I don't know that they have to
be the maid of honor, right, But if someone is
significant enough in your life, Judge Kiki, to be your
maid of honor, then wouldn't you think that they would
include you in their day as well.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
I mean it's nice to think, you know, we all
can think and assume, but it's really up to the
bride and if you don't make the cut, I think,
as my friend, you know, if you're having issues with
my fiance, there's a lot that goes into planning a
wedding and being a part of the bridal party. There's rehearsals,
there's dinners, there's back bridal showers, all these things. And
(18:26):
if I've decided, you know what, it's best for my
mental health that you are not a part of those
things because you can't get along with my fiance, I
feel like that's my prerogative right. But as my friend,
I don't think you shouldn't go to her wedding. You
know what I'm saying, Like, you still be there and
show up to support your friend. You go, you say, hey,
you know you were my maid of honor. I thought
(18:46):
we were tighter than this. I thought we were closer
than what you know this shows. But I'm still here
on your day to support you because at the end
of the day, it's not about me, it's about you.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
So you did what you felt was right.
Speaker 6 (18:57):
And I I mean, because yeah, it feels bad to
see your friends on you know, vacation without you and
you're like, oh my god, that was my maid of honor.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
She didn't even include me.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
You can feel all the things, but at the end
of the day, the bride still has the right to
make the decision that she made.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
In my opinion, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
And like unless, I mean, there's people whose wed weddings
that I was in that I wouldn't necessarily have in
mind if I were to get married today. And I
also think, like, you know, if you want the friendship
to end, then you can skip out on the wedding.
But if you are not okay with the friendship ending,
then you need to go to the wedding and you
need to swallow it and just keep it moving.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah. By the way, Kaylyn's still looking for this woman
with the Venmo request. You guys she paid me. Oh nice,
you finally got your sixty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I had to go to someone else to ask for help,
who then made a group chat who then she didn't
answer for days.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But we finally got our success. So maybe this woman
is being done a favor by not having to go
to all this shit. I just I don't know how you.
I feel like you got to find a place. You're
made of honor caliber, but yet you're not even in
a wedding party for the other person. I don't I
don't know. I mean it feels like quite the demotion. Yeah,
(20:09):
I don't eat five five five, one three five. You
guys are the jury. I mean, how would you feel
about that? How would you feel if you made someone
you're maid of honor or you're you're best man, and
then that person turns around and gets married however long later,
and you're not even included in the wedding party. You
don't get to go to the bachelorette party, the bachelor party.
(20:30):
This is your group of friends too. You don't even
get to be there. Like, that's like I got invited
to a bachelor party. It's the famous Key West bachelor party.
A bunch of great guys in Key West have no idea,
no idea why they chose that place. I have no
I mean, I was so disappointed. I'm like, finally we
have grown up money and we don't have to go
to like South Padre Island. Yeah right, we can go
(20:51):
to like Prague or somebody, like some someplace insane, like
there's a bunch of doctors and lawyers and then anitia
radio personality. I'm like, we got grown up money, we
can go. I do grown up stuff now. Oh no.
We went to Key West, but I wasn't in the wedding,
but I was included because I think the guy was like, well,
you're our buddy too, but like I didn't know. I
was kind of the adopted member of the friend group.
(21:14):
So I didn't deserve to be in the wedding, and
I wasn't upset about that, but I thought it was
cool that he invited me to the bachelor party anyway,
because I think he wanted to avoid what this woman's
going through, which is basically everybody got invited to the
bachelor party who was going to be in the wedding
because he'd known them since they were kids. And then
I wouldn't have gotten to go because I wasn't in
(21:34):
the wedding, but it still would have been fun for
me to have been included, right, So he did that
for me. So I don't know if it different with girls,
like would you be would you be upset as a girl?
Would you feel slighted if it was, Hey, look you're
not going to be in the wedding, but you can't
come to the bachelorette party.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Oh no, see now, That's where I would be upset
because don't ask me to pay money to come to
your trip and come, you know, pay on your bachelorette festivities.
And I'm not a part of the writer party. That's
an absolute for me. But when it comes down to
the wedding, I feel like we've all had friends who
have had partners that we weren't totally head over heels for.
We didn't think they were a good person, we didn't
like the guy, whatever, But you still stay loyal to
(22:11):
your friend because at some point he's going to show
his true colors to her, and you know, you still
want to be there for her when that all hits
the fan, because I would go to the wedding. You know,
when they say does anybody object? I would call real loud,
you know anybody object to this union? Yes, I do,
you know, but I would still be there for my friend.
I just think we can't just assume that people are
(22:32):
going to hold us at the same type of standard
we hold them in our lives all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I've said this before, Kiki. I at this point in
my life, I feel like I would need to just
elope if I ever got married, like call my parents
and call her parents or whatever and be like, Okay,
because the list of people that I'm going to offend
at this point after having been alive this long invite,
(22:57):
or I don't put in the wedding party, or I
I mean I've stood in multiple I've stood in more
than one wedding for the same human being at this point. Really,
I've stood in weddings. I mean, one guy's dead, Oh
I'm no, yeah, or I shout out to Stuart Man,
but I'm just saying like I've been No, he was
a great guy. I'm just saying I've been around long
(23:19):
enough at this point in my you know, early mid
forties or whatever that I there's no way that I
could get everybody in my wedding party who is important
to me. So I feel like, rather, I feel like
I as a guy without a girlfriend, I think about
things like what I'm gonna do at my non wedding,
but it's like I feel like I would have to
do something quick and dirty because I wouldn't mean to
(23:42):
not include anyone. But I think I could really hurt
some people's feelings if I didn't include them in a
wedding or in a bridal party. And I wouldn't want
to do that.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, I can't picture you either way, like having a
whole circus wedding.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I really don't with like caters and this and that and.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
The tucks fittings and like having a whole you know,
bachelor whatever part.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I can't picture that picture because you're so low key
too that I feel like you would just be like, hey,
we're doing this next Saturday. You guys want to come?
Like That's how I see it, and not because you're mad, Pauline.
It would be you guys. It would be my parents,
my sister, my brother in law, probably my nieces. And
then you know, I've got a couple really close, like
super close friends. And then outside of that, I have
a lot of friends, a lot of friends, but they're
(24:21):
not I don't know, I don't. I mean, I'm either
going to have to invite a thousand people or nobody.
And I don't mean that as like a humble brag,
but it's it if I think you get to a
certain point in your life where I've got a lot
of different work people that I value, I've got a
lot of different friends I value. I've got friends in
like you know, to Paulina's point, I've got friends for
different categories, and I think there'll be a lot of
(24:41):
people who would be upset, and not because I'm popular,
but because, you know, you get to a certain point
in your life where you just you've been exposed to
a lot of different people who mean something to you,
and uh, and this is the kind of messy stuff
that happens. Hey, Marissa, good morning, welcome to the show.
How are you.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
Thank you, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Guys, thank you, We love you too. So Keky's Court, basically,
it's a woman who was is getting married and and
how do I explain this best she's.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
Left out of the bridal party by her best friend
because she doesn't like her husband.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And this woman was also her maid of honor. So
there's kind of like you would think there would be
a reciprocation thing going on here.
Speaker 7 (25:20):
So I'm currently in the process of planning my wedding
as well, and one of the things that I think
is most important is it's your wedding and you have
to do what's best for you. So I agree with
what Keiki said, Like, if that's what she decided, that's
what she decided. But she needs to have a conversation
with this girl, like you just don't go silent and
go ghost. If she was her, your maid of honor
(25:44):
or whatever that relationship was, like something had to have happened,
whether it was the issue on politics or not, but regardless,
give her the courtesy to call her and say, hey,
here's where we're at. I don't want you to be
upset XYZ and then go from there instead of just
not saying anything and just sending out an invite and
she finds out through social media that she wasn't invited
(26:05):
or a part.
Speaker 8 (26:05):
Of the wedding.
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Yeah, that's a good point because if we're best friends,
that's the least you can do is explain is tell
me why I'm not included exactly.
Speaker 7 (26:12):
And then coming down to the girl if she should
or should not go to the wedding. I think she
should go regardless, like she might have some tip of
feeling on it. But again, that's when she could have
that conversation. She attends the wedding, and then after the fact,
she could then call that woman and say, hey, I
attended your wedding, but I feel some type of way
on the fact that I wasn't included in the first place,
(26:35):
but I still wanted to be there for you and
just resolve it through communication, and.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Well there for you at the divorce. Well, right, maybe
is it Marisa or Marissa? Did I say right, Marissa? Marissa?
So let me ask this, because you're planning your wedding now,
Like I could come up with as many people as
you want to stand up there, but don't you want
the numbers to be? And like, let's say that I
(27:01):
only wanted to include. Let's say I only had two
or three friends that I thought were close enough to
stand up there. And so then wouldn't would you then
go and have seven if you had seven, or would
you then narrow it down to three too, so that
it were even on both sides and that way, I mean,
that would make it really difficult. But at least then
you could say, well, he picked three, I picked three.
(27:21):
So I had to draw the line somewhere, I guess,
I mean.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
At the end of the day, like it really just
depends on the person, Like how I was. I always
thought I would be the person where I was like
I need to have even numbers, But then when it
came down to it, like I had five, really good
friends who I was gonna have stand up and I
had a falling out with one of them, so it
was about to be like four for me and five
(27:46):
for my fiance. And I sat there and I was like,
I'm not just going to fill a position when they
don't hold the same weight of relationship as the other
four who I am having stand up is. So I
think it just really depends on what you're feeling is
on it, and I don't think you need a reason
besides the fact of here's what it is. Here's where
our relationship stands. It's not that I don't love you,
(28:08):
it's not that I don't care about you, but I
felt X y Z, and this is why I'm going
to move forward.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
With not having you.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
But again, that comes down to the communication that the
bride should have called her quote unquote best friend to.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Tell her that.
Speaker 9 (28:22):
Yeah, but the fact you didn't, I.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Think there's something that had to have happened because you
don't just randomly not include.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
Your best friend, right.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, this is friendship ending stuff right here. But thank you, Marissa,
have a good day.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
Thanks you too.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah. I agree with whoever said that it is. This
is the kind of stuff where if you don't handle
it right, you wind up without a friend forever. But
then at the same time, you got to show some grit.
It's tricky.
Speaker 8 (28:46):
Hey Raquel, Yeah, sorry, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Hey Raquel, welcome. What do you think kikey'scord.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
She should not attend the wedding. I think the point
is that she was not told by the bride that
she was not going to be included in the wedding,
and she found out via social mediation of the situation. Yes,
that's so, there's no conversation. You find out via photo.
(29:14):
So then you expect me to go to the wedding.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
No.
Speaker 9 (29:16):
I don't think she should have to go to the
wedding at all, and she shouldn't send a gift either, Oh.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Business girl. Okay, yeah, I mean I think there could
have been a world where you had the conversation, she
didn't find out the way she found out. You weren't
sneaky about it, and and maybe there would be some
understanding and maybe some hurt feelings. But okay, but this way,
it's like you're trying to pull one over on me,
kinda correct.
Speaker 9 (29:40):
So had you had the conversation and said, hey, you know,
Brad my fiance does not want you in the wedding.
Speaker 8 (29:46):
Because of whatever the political fight was.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
I'm sorry, I have to rescind the invitation to include
you in the wedding, but I still want you to come.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Then you go to the wedding.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
But the lack of conversation for someone who's allegedly a
best friend, no, I'm sorry, you don't go to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
I'll tell you what. Brad and his damn tesla driving around.
It's always a problem. Have a good time, all right,
Thank you. Don't don't at me. I just picked a
random thing that people are mad about, So don't don't
at me on that. Hi, Sarah, how are you doing?
Good morning? Good morning, Hey Kiki's court. What say you?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I definitely think that that has become a one way friendship.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
That girl is not her front no more.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
She didn't even have the decency to talk to her
about it.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
And me personally, if it was me, if that person
was that important to me, I'd be telling my fiance, Yeah,
she's gonna be in my wedding and you're just gonna
have to deal with if she's that good of a friend.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, that is a wild thing. Is for a fight
between them to trump no pun intended, but to I
don't know who's on what side, but you know, that's
that's pretty wild to say that a fight that you
had with this significant other of mine, that that's the
reason that you can't be in my wedding and we're
going to end a lifelong friendship over that. Like, that's
(31:10):
that's crazy a little bit.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Most definitely, I think that the girl should not go
because me and Patty I want to be able to
hold it in.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
I'd probably mess up her.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
Weddings with my comments.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
So yeah, there was a way to handle it, a
new way that this is. This wasn't it. Thank you, Sarah,
have a great day, guys, you too, And Lee says
that she her best friend did the same thing, but
she did go to the wedding. Hold on, let's hear
the story quickly and then we'll do the entertainment report. Hey, Lee,
what happened? Good morning?
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Hey, good morning guys. I'm one of the thirteen.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Thank you love you for that.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
So yeah, I actually found out that my friend cut
out my picture and asked everybody else and I wasn't
asked because I couldn't afford it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Oh, my god. Wow, man, that's awful.
Speaker 5 (31:58):
Is she thought that I couldn't afford it be her,
you know, in the wedding group, so she decided that
financially it would be safe not to ask me to
be in her party. And I found out because I
did confront her and she did cry. I cried, and
you know what, we're so best friends.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
That is what it is. Man. I'm so you know
you you would think that in that situation, and I've
heard of this happening like low key. They just kind
of build it into the budget of the wedding like yeah,
you know, uh, like Lee's got to be there, so
we'll make it work. And then you because you know,
people go through hard times and whatever and whatever.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
It was who I was dating. It was who I
was dating at the time, to be honest. Yeah, yeah,
he sucked me dry. So he's gone.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad things. You
guys are still friends, right, yes?
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Yes? Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well? Good have a good daily.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
Yeah you guys as well.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I love you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Take care too. Yeah. We had a buddy, a college buddy, uh,
and he was in dental school and didn't have any
money and so was like literally had he was scraping
by just to get through dental school and and our
other buddy got married and so it was like, look,
he's not gonna be able to go because he didn't
have any money. And and then it was a destination wedding.
(33:21):
I think it was can Coon and it was expensive,
and you know, Caitlin spent through this one hundred times.
At least it was can Coon and not you know,
uh sal Polo, Brazil or wherever they helped you ever
to get. But anyway, so they they worked it in
so that they paid for him, and he was super
grateful and you know, because he wanted to be there
and the whole and he really couldn't afford it. So
we all show up to this thing and we all
(33:42):
meet in the lobby check in, and we're all having
a nice time, and this this guy who who who
who my friend paid for was like this place is
so nice and we're like, yes, I guess it's pretty nice.
He's like, I've never stayed in a hotel room like
this before in my life, Like it is, it is fantastic.
I have my own pool, like you guys have your
own pool. And my buddy looks at him and goes, dude,
(34:03):
you're in the presidential suite. That's our room, said it's available.
Get the hell out, like your stuff, get out of
He's like, there's a dining room in it, there's a butler.
My buddy's like that thinks fifteen hundred bucks a night,
that's mine. Get out. But if you hadn't said anything,
you would have had this palace that week and it
(34:23):
would have been make
