I'm counting, so you could win. You can still win
one thousand bucks.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Ye okay.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I think I just did the math quickly in my head.
I haven't had enough coffee, so I'm not sure if
that's true. What are you working on for the ports
this morning? Ky?
Speaker 6 (01:23):
A couple of things I will tell you who says
they don't remember their Coachella performance? Also the Hall of
Fame titan and the fifty million dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You want to do have a morality Monday on a
Tuesday because I think we should. Yes, So how would
you feel about this? Eight five five five n one
one three five. A groom to be recently shared his
dilemma on Reddit, which is where I get a lot
of these. I must I must give credit where credit
is due. I don't know. I know some a holes,
but I don't know enough to be able to do
(01:53):
I know some immoral people, but I don't know enough
to do morality Monday on a Tuesday every week unless
I did a lot of research. Yeah, so I could
do it just all.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Your friends every week?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You just which one of you wanted to be immoral Evans. Yeah,
so this happened to somebody, though it didn't really, So
here's this is the gist of it. A dude's fiance
plans to wear her late husband's wedding ring on a
chain around her neck during the wedding ceremony to the
(02:25):
new guy. So her husband is dead, okay, and she's
going to she wants to wear the wedding ring. I
guess his wedding ring that from when they were married
before he died, around her neck when she marries another guy,
the next guy, Okay. She says it's a quiet tribute
(02:46):
to the guy she once loved, who passed away in
a tragic car accident five years ago. She believes the
laws shaped who she is today and wants to carry
that part of her past into the new chapter. But
her fiance is not feeling great about him. He says
it makes him feel like he's sharing the most important
day of his life with someone who isn't there, and
and like he's somehow second place. And people on the
(03:08):
forum are torn. Some stood with the groom, saying the
wedding should be about the new relationship, not the old one.
Other suggested a compromise, like a symbolic gesture instead of
wearing the ring, I would if I'm being one percent transparent,
if I'm keeping it on on the reel, one hundred
percent on the one. If I'm being one hundred with you, okay, please,
(03:29):
I'm gonna be one hundred with you as opposed to
the ninety nine I usually am. I'm gonna be a hundred.
I wouldn't like him. I wouldn't like him. I wouldn't
like it. You wouldn't be either. No, I would not. Okay,
good because you're like, yeah, I know, I know Fred,
I know Fred, You weak, little weak little nugget. No.
Can you imagine if Hobby in Vegas at the wedding
(03:52):
had a ring around his neck of a that he
gave to another woman who's dead.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
See, okay, I have compassion.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, I'd be upset. I'd be bothered, for sure. But like,
it's sad if that person tragically died. I mean that's awful.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Nobody's saying that's not sad or awful. But like, yeah,
why are we I mean you're married me? Now? Like
can this day be about us?
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Correct?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Why are we still reflecting on this person. I'm sorry
this person died. I'm sorry this person is not in
your life anymore. But the feeling that it would give
me is. And it's pretty clear. If that dude weren't dead,
I wouldn't be standing here. You never would have chosen me,
This wouldn't even obviously, this wouldn't even be happening. True. Yes, well,
I know that. I don't think i'd be reminded of that.
(04:36):
I don't know. I don't need to be reminded of
the person that I'm marrying now and committing to the
rest of my life with. Would probably rather be with
someone else if they weren't dead.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yeah, it takes a special kind of person to be
with a widow. I don't think everyone can do it.
But I'm in a similar situation. Actually, one of the
bachelorettes I have coming up, her previous boyfriend passed away
and it was tragic, and his mom wants to pay
for something on her bachelorette to for a new guy.
She's getting married to a new guy and her mom,
her former boyfriend's mom, wants to.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Pay for something for us, like a table or a
night when we go out.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yeah, and but some of my friends, which I don't
think it was their place to say, are like, no,
completely unacceptable, like that's you shouldn't be doing that, Like
your fiance is going to be upset, and I, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I thought that that was kind of wild.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of interesting, like I'm gonna
pay for you guys to go ahead and get hammered.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah for the why did the best work at the wedding?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
D Yeah, But she, like I guess, feels like this
is the closest she's going to get to, Like I
don't know, her son getting married, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
She's like happy for her. She still talks to her.
So it is. But it is interesting, that's nice.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's something. It'sn't even marrying a widow, like, uh, it's
not even it's not even so much that it's it's okay,
I'm marrying a widow. So I'm already aware that you
were fully in love with another guy. I actually just
happened to a family member of mine, and I've never
discussed it with her. I've discussed it with her family though,
And this dude, sadly, when in a business trip, the
(06:03):
company had private jets. There were two private jets. Everybody
piled in one or the other. There was no rhyme
or reason one made it the other one didn't, and
so there was I don't know the inside of their relationship,
but from what I understand, they were relatively newly married.
Like everything was fine, you know, and then he's gone, right,
so she moved on married another guy, had kids with him.
Everything's great, and I wonder, like I wondered, does that
(06:23):
guy ever lay up at night and be like, man,
you know, if that dude hadn't tragically died, like I
wouldn't even be here. I wouldn't have my kids, I
wouldn't have any of this. Like maybe I would have
had it with somebody else. But like that, I'm admitting
that's an insecurity, but that would get to me, I think,
But but it's that that's life. But now I got it.
Now you got to have like something tangible with you
(06:43):
at the wedding. To me, I'm trying to really like
sure resemble him, Like guys, we're moving.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
On like right at the wedding, probably not see if
Hobby did that, we wouldn't be at the Little White
Wedding Chapel I think we'd be honestly in therapy to
work through that because it's like, why would you want
to include that on your special day?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Are you really ready to do this? If we're still
reflecting on the best.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Question, have anything from their previous you know, marriage or
like a photo or.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Anything, I mean, and how it exists? Like we can
put them away. I'm not saying I don't want them,
you know, like plastered on the on the living room
wall when you walk in. Probably not, but I would
still understand that this happened. Like you said, it's a
part of his history, right, I mean she didn't do
anything to me.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
I mean she passed away.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Right, Theoretically, in this theory, we're doing like she passed away,
and I don't want him to forget her, But on
our special day, probably not.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
This is today is about us because.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You're loving a not complete person.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
I feel like at that point, like a part of
their heart will always be with the spouse that they
thought they were going to spend the rest of their
life with.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And that's totally fair.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But like you know, on our special day, at least
you know it's my wedding too, right, it's a two
people event.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's you know, for yourself, I watched it can be
a multiple person, you know, it could.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Be correct, It can be, but my mind, for example,
always me and we two of us.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Right, That's what I'm saying. I don't think everyone can
handle that situation. I really don't think that. I agree,
just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I mean, what, Jason, you're over here with this look
on your face of disgust, like honestly, like, okay, so
so Mike the mechanic wants to marry you, and he's like, hey,
but this dude I hooked up with on grinder a
while ago, like, I need I need to make sure
that I he left his chain in my house.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
It's a little different, but for multiple years.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay. But honestly, though, do you want a person who
is who is essentially you're replacing them? I mean, okay, okay,
imagine this, imagine imagine Okay, you're my beloved co worker, right, you,
my beloved coworker. God forbid, I hate this example, but
God forbid you decide I'm going to I'm I'm going
(08:45):
to move on. I'm going to go and be Britney
Spears's manager. And everyone's happy, well sort of happy.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
For you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, I mean like it's a little late in the
game for that, but you know, still, okay, so you're
going to be Britney Spears's manager. We're also happy for you.
We're clapping or whatever, and then you know, it's wonderful,
it's a wonderful day, something like, you know, here's to
the jolly goodfellow whatever. Okay, So then we have to
replace you. Sadly, it's terrible. But we have a picture
of you right there in your chair that stares at
(09:13):
the new person every single day, and it says, we
miss so we miss you so much Jason Brown, you know,
to the greatest person to ever sit in this chair,
Jason Brown, you know. And the new person has to
sit there and stare at that all morning. I mean,
it might be true, but what I'm saying is nobody
wants that daily reminder that like there was somebody greater
(09:33):
than me here.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
That's completely it is not it is not at all.
It is completely different.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
This is.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Cast away.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
I didn't die, but you're not here anymore. Better even
crazier people I've somehow found them, But that's so different.
There's nothing like I can't even imagine the pain of
losing a spouse.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
So I look at I have.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
If I have not been through that, there, I cannot
say one single thing about how you deal with it.
That pain is like I can you even think about
how that makes you feel? Like you can feel all
you want, But I would have to be fine with
It's not like it's competition.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He's gone, yeah, but don't. Don't my feelings about this matter.
I'm marrying you now. It's about me now, it's not
about that person. I'm so sorry for what happened. But
I feel like if we're honoring your ex husband at
your new wedding, I mean, listen to that sentence that doesn't.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Say anything about the grief and how she deals with it.
I'm sorry, absolutely my opinion, you didn't you know, go
through that. She did, So whatever she needs to do
to feel better, that's what she gets to do.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, at your wedding. At your wedding, you're going to
honor another.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Jason yea if someone died that they were married to,
who am I to say? You don't get too honestly
the new husband.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Goodness?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Oh, because I was trying to figure out whose side
I'm on today, and I think today I want to
be on the right side today.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, it's welcome, it's nice over here.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Because Fri is dead.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
So like literally, they're never going to be your competition,
competing with the goal.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Never.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true.
I think if a person is still honoring their ex
husband at the wedding to the new person, you are
constantly being compared to that honoring.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
First of all, it's just I'm wearing today a symbol
of somebody I love that has passed on.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Yes, it, I mean for you would have to walk
away like it bother you. Then you would have to say, listen,
this is not for me.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I can't handle that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
She's not wearing his chain, She's wearing his wedding ring.
Oh my god, what do you want.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Me to do?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes, now, she can keep it. I don't don't even
melt it down. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying
to destroy the human being. I mean, we're moving on.
We're moving on to Cleveland. Roberta, Roberta, how you doing?
What did you want to say? This is nuts? You
guys are crazy.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
I agree with me.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Why is he?
Speaker 10 (12:19):
Why is he?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Like?
Speaker 10 (12:20):
Why is he comparing himself to a ghost, like why
did you feel like he's in competition with him? Like
she knew what he was good heyman? To he knew
that she was a widow, and he knew that she
loved that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She loved him. But isn't memory enough?
Speaker 10 (12:33):
I mean, it's braud.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What Roberta, are you married? Are you married? Yes? Would
you have been okay with your husband honoring another woman
who he was previously married to at his wedding to you?
Come on, Roberta, come on, There's a time and a
place for this stuff. I'm not saying we raised his memory.
I'm not saying that it wasn't. They're not. It's been
a fun time in your life. But I'm so you
(13:00):
tell me when when I take your clothes off at
the end of the night, I gotta look at the
wedding ring of the dude from before.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
It's like a tattoo if somebody had a tattoo, do
you know what I'm saying? Or the tramp stamps, you know,
like it's so little reminder. But why are you like
he knew amp stamp?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Who's getting a tram stamp with him? Roberto what kind
of tattoos you got, I'm worried about you.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
I got a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
You know that some women get their their spouses names
on them, although they shouldn't, but you know it's so
it's like that. But like this person is dead, Like
why is he trying to like? Why is he trying
to compete with him?
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Why am I being reminded of him? I guess it's
going to be hard enough to just Camean's original point.
The amount of trauma that must you know, that you
must endure to process something like that is extreme, like
and there's no one questioning that. But I guess I
would wonder if we're doing that, are you really ready
for me? I guess would be the question that I
(14:03):
would be asked.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
But do you not think that they had the conversation beforehand?
Like I'm sure that he was aware that he meant
something really special to her because that was her husband
at some point, so he should have had that in
the back of his mind before he asked her to
marry him.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, but he also he's gone to Reddit because he
feels a little shocked by this gesture, like he didn't
see this case.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
He's a man he doesn't know how to communicate.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean, he wrote very clearly. I read it, so
have a good day. I don't think anyone's saying that
you don't honor what was. I just don't know if
that's the time and the place and the way to
manifest him, because because I do think you also have
to consider how it makes the person you're marrying feel.
That person's feelings matter too in this but the grief
that comes with losing a spouse.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
And then I'm back at this wedding place where I
only saw this for my past husband, so it's like
it's something that maybe makes her feel safe in moment
to like I'm doing this again. I'm trying to love
again without the fear of losing this person again. It's
just a little sense of comfort, like a blanky. I
cannot bring my blanky like you know this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Why is your dead husband your comfort? I'm your comfort.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
It takes a special kind of person and it's okay,
Like everybody's feelings are valid. If it's not working for you,
that's okay, that's okay period.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Okay to Wanta, Hi, Hi, Hey, so sad that you
were in this situation like this, and I am sorry
that you encountered this.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Thank you. I was with to one for ten years.
We had three boys together, and unfortunately he passed away
and about four ish, almost five years later, I met
someone else. We were married. My system off from my
previous marriage was my matrid of honor. Her husband helped
pay for our limos, and we're still very active in
(15:53):
each other's lives. We go on vacations together with each
other's families and everything. So I think it just depends
on how mature you take the situation. I'm sure that
my husband probably feels a certain way, but because we
have children together, he just wanted to give them as
much love as he could doing if they had a loss.
(16:15):
So I just think that sometimes you have to think
about that person's all over with you, and if it
was you that passed away, would you want your wife
to forget about you and never ever think about you
ever again? No, I think that's hard to say if
you haven't been in a situation.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
No, Jo what I wouldn't, But I also I wouldn't.
I guess I can tell you I wouldn't expect to
be honored in any way at her wedding to another man.
I don't think that's the time and the place. I'm
not saying that you shouldn't be friends with your I
mean everything that you just said is completely reasonable. You
have kids in a family, You didn't ask for any
of this, that's all reasonable. I just don't know why.
You know, we have the ice sculpture of the man
(16:53):
at the rehearsal, like I don't know, Like I don't know.
We don't need to do that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, I sculpture might be a little much. Yeah, you know,
I mean he wanted to wear the necklace. I mean
maybe not on her neck per se, but maybe intertwine
and her garter or something like that. I mean, I
don't I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Think we needed any closer to the virgin than just
think there's a time and a place. But hey, and
thank you for sharing. And I'm sorry that happened to you.
And I appreciate your.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Perspective your friend, and I hope that everything turns out
great for her.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you so much. Luckily I don't know this person,
because if I did, I wouldn't I would be uninvited
to the wedding. Hey, Kyle, how you doing? Good morning? Hey,
turn the radio down, Kyle, please, Okay, there you go.
Hey man, what do you want to say?
Speaker 11 (17:41):
Go ahead, Hey, I'm just saying I agree with you.
I mean the guy unfortunately he passed away. But at
the same time, like he don't need to remember that
at my wedding, because hey, this is my day, Like,
why do you take my shign off of me? And no,
it's not about being a competition or anything. But how
would you feel if I wore my springing as she
(18:01):
passed away? You're gonna have a whole feet Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I don't think that would go over very well with
very many people. But thank you, Kyle.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I have a good day.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I appreciate you now. But somebody said, here's the thing.
Somebody said on here, what do they say Fred isn't
ready to marry a widow because he's not accepting it
her fully. First of all, I don't know what you're
talking about. That is it is case by case. I'm
talking about a particular case where it seems like a
woman is not necessarily over her previous marriage. That's what
it seems like to me. But I don't think we're
considering the other side of this. I think we're only
(18:29):
considering the needs of this woman. Okay, because as a
guy who has dated people who have lost their previous
significant other, I'm accepting of that person's situation, But I
think that person needs to be accepting of mine, which
is that I'm going to be insecure about this man
that you loved and didn't do anything wrong. This isn't
(18:50):
a breakup, this isn't a divorce. I mean, you know,
everything was fine and then they were gone, and that
is awful, right, But like that's going to be difficult
for me too. So why why are we Why do
we have to put that in my face on that day?
I guess it'd be the question that I'm asking because
as much as I am going to be obviously i'm
marrying you, I'm accepting of of of whatever you've been through.
(19:13):
I think you also have to accept the fact that, wow,
I wouldn't even be here if that hadn't happened. And
you know, that's a significant relationship that ended with zero closure.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Did they say how long she had been widowed before
they started to It didn't say.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And by the way, someone says that screams insecurity. Yeah,
I said that from the beginning. It does. I'm insecure
about it.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I'm very honest.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'm telling you. I know it's an unpopular opinion. I'm
just telling you what I think.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
And I respect that. I respect that. I mean, I
think we should all be able to say our opinions.
And that's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I did say from the beginning when I told you,
I was keeping it on the real it's an unpopular opinion,
and you guys can cunt on me all day, but
that's what I think. Oh, I have agree with you,
and it would be it would absolutely be an insecurity.
Absolutely it would be.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, because I don't know if you ever get over
that because it wasn't there's no closure, there wasn't any problem. Yeah,
So it's like you say, she's not over it. I
wonder if you ever do. I mean, who knows. I
couldn't speak on it.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
But let's see the biggest stories of the day. Next.
God got Bruno mars now back in three minutes. It's
the Fred's Show.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Fred's Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
People are texting like, well, you know you're never gonna forget.
I'm not asking you to forget. Can we not do
it on my birthday and my wedding day, did you
mind as hard as it is Christmas? Right, I mean,
I don't think we needed to have like a full
play setting for the guy, you know, but gifts under
(20:41):
the tree from Bob, like he got a better Christmas
present than I did, and he's dad like, what are
we doing? No? No, no, that's Bob, like a full
on offering, like could I have seconds to know those?
I'm sorry, that's for Bob.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know, especially if the dude were like awesome, yes,
you know what I mean. And that tends to have
when people pass away to it's like we only remember
the really really amazing thing, which is fine. I mean,
I tell I want to be remembered not from all
my moronic things that I've done, but like for the
better things I've But you know, that would I just
think that would be really hard. You know, You're at
like family dinner and everyone's like, oh, man, yeah you
know so and so, oh yeah he was he was
(21:18):
a great He was in you know, greated skiing. He
was a great skier. You know, he was actually was
really good. He could have gone pro with it, I think,
you know, and you're just sit there.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Going damn it. I can't even go down the bunny.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I can't. I'm like, I'm out here with the what
do they say that like the cheese greater cheese? Yeah? Really?
Like really? Okay, So I don't add up to the guy,
got it?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Oh yeah, I remind you, Bob, barbecue was so much better.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And you're talking about how in a fight you'd be like, well, Bob,
Bob never would have acted this.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Way like.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Honoring.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Now you're just being toxic weapon. Where I no longer here.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Jason wants to make sure I know he's not with me.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Ye, biggest choice of the day. A certificate has been
issued by the Vatican lists the cause of Pope Francis's
death as a stroke that prompted irreversible heart failure. The
certificate officially lists the cause of death as cerebral stroke,
coma and cardio circulatory collapse heart failure. I guess now
there you go. Now that's something I'd like to see
(22:27):
all these guys going, oh man, all these cardinals getting together.
Oh so sad about Francis. But it should be me,
you know, you can bet on it, it should be me.
I could yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot it was you. Who sent
it to me?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, you're taking bets on which cardinal it's going to be.
I thought it was an Italian guy. Shoot, there's the Canadian.
Oh so the Canadians jumping ahead.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
I can't say his name.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Wow, Jason's on the pulse of this. Let's go, let's
go line to the Vatican now, Jason Brown out in
front of the the papal conclave. Jason, what is the
latest on the race to be the.
Speaker 9 (23:05):
According to the you know the betting websites that I'm
always on and following out here and the Vatican, here's
that Italy I'm at it, Cardinal Pietro Parolene is the
slight favorite to succeed. He's Canadians. Yep, wait, maybe not.
Oh I thought Canadian is cardinal I saw is from
(23:27):
It's uh, he's Italian.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Gee, he's always an Italian. Always go with the Italian,
I know. That's what about Steve Smith? About Cardinal Steve Smith,
Kansas City?
Speaker 10 (23:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Why are we not looking at him?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
He's also seventy years old, so old as hell.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's the last time I believed him for my bets.
You told me he was Canadian.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
I saw the sea with Canadian.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Well we shouldn't because you would have bet on the Canadian. Yeah,
never before. I don't believe he has been a Canadian pope.
I don't think they're right.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
There should be the very fair. But he was my
sports reporter and now familiarly like.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
A line up I can see, like a starting lineup.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, there may be.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
I I'm just curious to see who's up for this job.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
And they one of them picks the hats.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
If you want to know about this though, it's the
Papal Conclave. I guess. The movie Conclave is now on
Amazon Prime as of like today, so nice, nice timing.
There won a bunch of awards. I might have to
watch it, though, But the pontiff his funeral has been
scheduled for Saturday. After nine days of morning events, cardinals
from around the world will meet at the Sistine Chapel
to conduct a secretive vote to elect the new pope.
(24:30):
The process takes two to three weeks and all ballots
are burned afterwards. What is going on in there that
we can't know about it? While you are sworn for
eternity not to tell anybody what happens in there? What
are we doing in there. How are we determining which
one of these people is the best?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I don't love that.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And are they campaigning? You think Number one on the
list is calling his boys and being like, I'll tell
you what you know. You hook me up with this,
I'll make sure that you're a saint. Like literally, I
can make you a saint. Like I'll do that for you.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
It's like an unfair advantage because like it's all the
way over there.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm not sure. I'm really not sure. But yeah, then
it will be white smoke that will rise from the
chapel's chimney, signing a new era of leadership for the
world's one point four billion Catholics. So there's that another day.
An of the plane story A couple for you. A
Delta Airlines plane with almost three hundred people on board
caught fire at the Orlando International Airport on Monday, but
(25:26):
the airline says that it was safely evacuated with no
reports of injuries. Also, passengers on a recent Delta flight
from Atlanta to Chicago were forced to hold up the
plane ceiling after it collapsed mid air. The Boeing seven
to one SEVENS panel was later a fixed into place
by attendant so customers didn't have to manually hold it
up during the flight. No injuries reported during the flight.
(25:48):
I have to say this, as far as this is
concerned for the picture that I saw, and I don't
know anything about this seven seventeen, but you know, i'd
look like a trim piece fell and those things are
meant to come off so they can inspect the oxygen masks,
inspect everything that's behind there. So I mean, this is
not like a critical thing, but I would not feel
great if I'm flying along on the ceiling just because
I'd be like, what else did we? Did we miss
(26:09):
any other nuts or bolts? You know, It's like me
at the end of a Lego set where there's like
five or six pieces left, and I'm like, I really
hope those weren't essential to anything. You know, do you
think this the airplane took off and the mechanics were like,
oh man, we forgot to screw those things in, didn't we? Okay,
But as far as like it would be like the
ceiling tile falling in the thing, Like the building's not
going to collapse the ceiling tile film. It's not awe
(26:31):
inspiring by any means, but like nice.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
My trail mix with my handholds the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You not to trade off with the guy next to you.
Come on, you know, be like, I'll tell you what
or maybe the middle seat has to do it because
the middle seat, you know, you're just the unlucky one.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
This is disgusting and it's a whole new generation of bullying.
I mean, I feel like we all grew up with
people just saying mean things. And you know, you go
to school and there were the bullies and the insecure
people and they would say mean things to you or
tell you that you were ugly or not good at
sports or whatever like that was hard, right. Well, now
you can't escape it because social media and tech and
(27:06):
all this stuff. The latest teams are using artificial intelligence
to create realistic nude images of their classmates and then
share them. So with just a headshot, often lifted from
a yearbook photo or social media platform, these AI apps
can fabricate explicit, deep fake images that appear scarily real,
and it's happening in schools. Last summer, the San Francisco
(27:28):
City Attorney's Office said that sixteen people were sued for
so called Newdify websites for allegedly violating laws around child
exploitation and non consensual images, but they escape past some
state laws. In Minnesota, they're trying to pass legislation to
hold them accountable. A whole different level of bullying and
it's terrible. Gen Z grads, I think a lot of
(27:50):
people can relate to this, say their college degrees were
a total waste of time and money. Nearly half of
gen Z grads say that their degrees have are been
made obsolete by the rise of generative AI tools like
chech EPT, and they're wondering why they even bothered to
attend college. And new Indeed report found forty nine percent
of gen Z job hunters think that their college education
(28:12):
has lost value in the job market thanks to AI.
Only one third of millennials feel the same way, and
one in five boomers have similar regrets. Have you went
to college thirty years ago and I went to college
twenty years ago? At this point you should expect that
whatever you know. I don't think I can ride on
when they do it temmy HTML. You know, I don't
think I should still be making money on that now.
(28:34):
I probably should have evolved, but I would I will
say the amount of money that was invested in a
college degree. Did I have to have it? I hear
you to be successful in this business, I would tell
you probably not. However, and I was talking to my
sister about this the other day because the college that
we went to is now eighty five thousand dollars a year.
She and my mom actually went to the same college. Yes,
(28:55):
eighty five thousand dollars a year, all in to go
to college there. And that's just to live there and
eat and go to school and buy the books or whatever.
I don't know, I guess iPads or computers, whatever it is. Now,
that's not the travel back and forth. That's not all
the rest of it, the cars and whatever else you
might need. And my sister has two kids, and that's now,
and they're fourteen years away from doing this. I can't
(29:17):
imagine what it's going to cost. And so let's say
let's say it's let's say it's one hundred thousand. Let's
say let's just around numbers, it's going to cost a
million dollars to send both those girls to school. And
you have to ask yourself at some point, is there
a return on investment for that? Like, it's not going
to be is probably going to be four hundred thousand
dollars ahead of everyone else if we send her to
college and pay that much money. My answer would be
(29:39):
probably not. And then you could say, well, you know,
for those people who I know, Caitlin, you did and
and I did, you know, moved far Well, you didn't
move too far away, but I moved a thousand miles
already to go to college, you know. And it was
and my parents were like, you can go anywhere you want.
You nowhere in Arizona, nowhere, or any neighboring state, Like
you need to go far enough away you can and
(30:00):
drive home like this is part of the deal. And
so we went and we did that, and I did that,
and I would argue that that was a transformational time
in my life. But was it worth that much money?
If you've got it, maybe, But if you don't, If
you're sending your kid to college because you think they're
going to get a better job and make a bunch
more money off of that, I'm not sure if that's
true anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
It's just crazy eighty thousand dollars a year, and then
these people are applying for jobs that pay like eighteen
dollars an hour, So like it's just the math's not
math thing.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
And I feel like AI is doing a lot.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Of stuff in the work in the workforce, like it's
changing a lot of jobs and opportunities for people too.
It's you know, essentially like eliminating jobs. So I don't
know where the fairness is for kids who are going
to college.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I want my kid to go to college.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I do, but I'm also not a post to her
doing other things like if gig shows, for example, my daughter,
if she shows, you know, interest in makeup, whatever it
might be, and she's good, we might be going to cosmetology.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
School, you know what I mean, trade schools that or
something specialized like computer programing. My brother in law did that.
He makes it a very good living.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Some of these kids are just good at certain things,
like I said, the makeup, or they are going to
Peter work and computer stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I don't know what it's called.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
That's how good they are. I don't even know how
to call that.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I don't even know what it's don't even peter. That's
how we got Karen. Now, Karen went to college and
she's a genius. The actual men's a genius. But that
she was a genius before she went to college. Okay,
she born, she was born that way, lady guy I
got saying that song about her. Yeah, it's true. I
don't know. It's a luxury. I think it's long been
a luxury. And if you've got the money, great, Yeah,
(31:25):
I just I don't know. I guess I don't know
about if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer,
you're going to have to do it, you know, therapist,
any kind of you know, you need to graduate degree
for it. You're going to have to do it. It's
the way it is, and we probably should. But I
don't know. I don't know if it's you know, if
it was automatic. It seemed for everybody I grew up with,
and now I'm not sure if it should be for
that much money.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
It's great for life skills, but I was going to say.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Right, but for a half a million bucks, like, I
don't know. I'll tell you what i'll take. I'll take
half of that, or less than half of that. I'll
buy you an apartment in a big city, and we'll
get you a nice online gets you a nice laptop,
and you can get some online training, get you a
job and honestly like, okay, we can. We can do
a lot of the same things for less money, and
(32:06):
it will get you some life experience, like we'll throw
you into You're not wrong. But here's the thing about college, right.
The thing about college is it's kind of like supervised
responsibility because no one's holding your hand. But like freshman year,
you've got our age, you got people to make sure
that you're like getting out of your room eventually. If
you don't go to class, someone's gonna call somebody and
call your parents eventually and be like where is so
(32:27):
and so. So there's a little bit of accountability. So
it's kind of like sheltered independence. You can still totally
screw up your life.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
But then but at the same time, like there's a
limit to how far it's gonna go before somebody finally
calls mom and dad and goes, hey, little Timmy hasn't
shown three months, you know, right, you better go get
little Timmy out of you know, Sam's pub down the
street or whatever.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
I don't know, to be honest, you like, i'd rather invest.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I don't know how you can do this in like
life skills, essentially putting my kid in a situation where
she learns how to like bes a room or.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Like work the room, meet people. I'm a big believer
it's about who you know, not just what you know.
And I'm like, well, how do I get my kids
to like be that.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I don't want her to be shy and just like
always closed off, Like I want her to be able
to walk into your room and just bes the crap
out of it.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Send her out with Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Honestly, but you could argue you throw them into the
real world in some kind of like nurtured way, and
they're first they're forced to sink or swim like they
have to. They have to figure this stuff out, you know.
It's like you can't really teach that street smarts. You
kind of have to.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Like that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I gotta wrap this up though. Chipotle Mexican Grill might
have Mexican in its name, but it hasn't gone to
Mexico until now. Chipotle is opening up in Mexico City
early next year, and I'm sure they're super excited about it.
They can't wait. I'm sure the people in Mexico City
are like I've been waiting for their soutange Quisi the.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Best street tacos in the world, arguably in.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, so they have James Beard street tacos. But here's
the thing. Chipotle is delicious. I don't know that it
represents some form of Textmax. It's its own lane, you know,
so like not to say that they won't enjoy it there.
But maybe we don't call it a Mexican grill there.
Maybe we just call it Chipotle and we just serve
the food and you enjoy it. And the most unhealthy
(34:14):
fast food burger in America is at five guys, which
apparently it's just like the normal cheeseburger is super unhealthy.
It's one of the most unhealthy cheeseburgers, if not the
most unhealthy, with a fifty point unhealthiest score. They also
wig in as the unhealthiest fries, Waterburger, smash Burger, and
Carls Junior trailed behind in the ranking. Five Guys had
(34:38):
seventy three percent more saturated fat than any other fast
food cheeseburger on the list. Now, remember Carls Junior is
the place that takes the cheeseburger and deep fries it
and then rolls it in a pizza like that SNL
skit and then deep fries it again and then rolls it.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
In ranch and ladies and bikinis right.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
And then serves it to you. You know, well, the
whole thing goes down your fright in a bikini and
goes down your face. So it's a school bus Driver
Appreciation Day, National Jellybean Day, National Girl Scout Day, and
today is Earth Day as well. All right, let's see
Stay or Go. We'll debate some relationship drama. We'll get
to an entertainer report at some point. I promise there
(35:15):
were too busy talking about the youth of America and
whether not to go to college. That show is on,
Stay or Go. Let's debate some relationship drama. In just
a second. The entertainer report a hundred bucks show biz Kiki,
still a very good record in the game. But you've
never lost two in a row. So we'll see if
it happens. Today people are texting that a lot of
the like AI digital recruiting sites or application sites where
(35:38):
you apply for jobs, will eliminate people who don't have
at least in associates, which is crazy, but I guess
I would argue in the years to come, like are
we going to rethink that, because people are going to,
if they haven't already, are going to stop being able
to afford this, or they're going to say I just can't,
like I cannot start my life with a half and
a lot of people in this room and otherwise no,
like I can't start my life with a half a
(35:58):
million dollars in debt at ten percent interest or whatever
it is. I don't know what the interest rate is.
But oh yeah about that part, you know. And then
you look at my sister. She wanted to be a therapist.
She went to undergrad masters, worked her ass off. Makes X.
My brother in law went to computer coding class I
think for three months and he makes the X two X.
I'm sure you know it, and they did. We joke
about it all the time, like good for him, it's amazing,
(36:19):
you know whatever. And he's had to run with that
and make it into something more so that he could
do that. Well, But then you know, my but my
sister had no option. You want to be a therapist,
that's what you got to do. Your mom knows that.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Has anyone ever asked you to see your degree before
they gave you a job?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Never? No. But I've also only interviewed for one job
in my professional life, and it was for this company
twenty four years ago.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I don't know anybody who had to shut there.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Nobody. I never No one asked for a resume, Nobody
asked me, no one asked me to prove that I
had a degree exactly.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Paulina brought hers.
Speaker 7 (36:47):
Yeah, I brought my Nobody even you physically brought it
to this job interview, not for not to be on
the radio, but she work in sales.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
He brought the you like the physical piece of paper.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
Nobody tells you not, they know that's real.
Speaker 9 (37:00):
Big.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Nobody tell you right, Nobody tell hey, I woke my
ass off. Yeah, I'm bringing this piece of paper with ray.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Nobody even know where miney is.
Speaker 8 (37:11):
All this money, I don't even know where to find.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
But they sure know where to find me to ask
for more money. Right. I'm like, didn't you get a
number my parents' money already? Why are you calling me
now more freadshell next
We'll go up in the city. My latest one was
bad Ants in the House. I was like, what did
you have to do so bad in your past life?
Did you come back as an ants?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Wow? Yeah, I know. It's a full intelligence briefing every morning.
It's intense.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
That's what you're doing in there.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Yeah, what'd you tell it? Never mind? I will start
the room. Fred's show is on Good Morning Everybody, Tuesday,
April twenty second. The Fred Show is here, Hi, Kaylen
mor Hi, Jason Brown, Hi, Paulina, Hi ke Key Morning Bella.
Jamine is here on the phone and the text You
can call and text anytime you want. Eight five, five, five, nine, one,
one o three plots the same number. We'll get to headlines,
(00:35):
the biggest stories of the day, the entertainment Report, and
blogs all this hour, stay or go. Let's debate some
relationship drama waiting by the phone this morning. Kicky lost
yesterday in the showdown your record now twenty one and
four still really good. One hundred bucks is the prize
and remember if you if you win between now when
Shelley comes back, what do we say June first, Yeah,
(00:58):
something like that. Then you can keep the money.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
It's April okay and to April okay, so you know, yeah,
you have five weeks left something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I'm counting, so you could win. You can still win
one thousand bucks.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
Ye okay.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I think I just did the math quickly in my head.
I haven't had enough coffee, so I'm not sure if
that's true. What are you working on for the ports
this morning? Ky?
Speaker 6 (01:23):
A couple of things I will tell you who says
they don't remember their Coachella performance? Also the Hall of
Fame titan and the fifty million dollar lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You want to do have a morality Monday on a
Tuesday because I think we should. Yes, So how would
you feel about this? Eight five five five n one
one three five. A groom to be recently shared his
dilemma on Reddit, which is where I get a lot
of these. I must I must give credit where credit
is due. I don't know. I know some a holes,
but I don't know enough to be able to do
(01:53):
I know some immoral people, but I don't know enough
to do morality Monday on a Tuesday every week unless
I did a lot of research. Yeah, so I could
do it just all.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Your friends every week?
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You just which one of you wanted to be immoral Evans. Yeah,
so this happened to somebody, though it didn't really, So
here's this is the gist of it. A dude's fiance
plans to wear her late husband's wedding ring on a
chain around her neck during the wedding ceremony to the
(02:25):
new guy. So her husband is dead, okay, and she's
going to she wants to wear the wedding ring. I
guess his wedding ring that from when they were married
before he died, around her neck when she marries another guy,
the next guy, Okay. She says it's a quiet tribute
(02:46):
to the guy she once loved, who passed away in
a tragic car accident five years ago. She believes the
laws shaped who she is today and wants to carry
that part of her past into the new chapter. But
her fiance is not feeling great about him. He says
it makes him feel like he's sharing the most important
day of his life with someone who isn't there, and
and like he's somehow second place. And people on the
(03:08):
forum are torn. Some stood with the groom, saying the
wedding should be about the new relationship, not the old one.
Other suggested a compromise, like a symbolic gesture instead of
wearing the ring, I would if I'm being one percent transparent,
if I'm keeping it on on the reel, one hundred
percent on the one. If I'm being one hundred with you, okay, please,
(03:29):
I'm gonna be one hundred with you as opposed to
the ninety nine I usually am. I'm gonna be a hundred.
I wouldn't like him. I wouldn't like him. I wouldn't
like it. You wouldn't be either. No, I would not. Okay,
good because you're like, yeah, I know, I know Fred,
I know Fred, You weak, little weak little nugget. No.
Can you imagine if Hobby in Vegas at the wedding
(03:52):
had a ring around his neck of a that he
gave to another woman who's dead.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
See, okay, I have compassion.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
You wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
No, I'd be upset. I'd be bothered, for sure. But like,
it's sad if that person tragically died. I mean that's awful.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Nobody's saying that's not sad or awful. But like, yeah,
why are we I mean you're married me? Now? Like
can this day be about us?
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Correct?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Why are we still reflecting on this person. I'm sorry
this person died. I'm sorry this person is not in
your life anymore. But the feeling that it would give
me is. And it's pretty clear. If that dude weren't dead,
I wouldn't be standing here. You never would have chosen me,
This wouldn't even obviously, this wouldn't even be happening. True. Yes, well,
I know that. I don't think i'd be reminded of that.
(04:36):
I don't know. I don't need to be reminded of
the person that I'm marrying now and committing to the
rest of my life with. Would probably rather be with
someone else if they weren't dead.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
Yeah, it takes a special kind of person to be
with a widow. I don't think everyone can do it.
But I'm in a similar situation. Actually, one of the
bachelorettes I have coming up, her previous boyfriend passed away
and it was tragic, and his mom wants to pay
for something on her bachelorette to for a new guy.
She's getting married to a new guy and her mom,
her former boyfriend's mom, wants to.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Pay for something for us, like a table or a
night when we go out.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Yeah, and but some of my friends, which I don't
think it was their place to say, are like, no,
completely unacceptable, like that's you shouldn't be doing that, Like
your fiance is going to be upset, and I, I
don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I thought that that was kind of wild.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of interesting, like I'm gonna
pay for you guys to go ahead and get hammered.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah for the why did the best work at the wedding?
Speaker 6 (05:29):
D Yeah, But she, like I guess, feels like this
is the closest she's going to get to, Like I
don't know, her son getting married, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
She's like happy for her. She still talks to her.
So it is. But it is interesting, that's nice.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It's something. It'sn't even marrying a widow, like, uh, it's
not even it's not even so much that it's it's okay,
I'm marrying a widow. So I'm already aware that you
were fully in love with another guy. I actually just
happened to a family member of mine, and I've never
discussed it with her. I've discussed it with her family though,
And this dude, sadly, when in a business trip, the
(06:03):
company had private jets. There were two private jets. Everybody
piled in one or the other. There was no rhyme
or reason one made it the other one didn't, and
so there was I don't know the inside of their relationship,
but from what I understand, they were relatively newly married.
Like everything was fine, you know, and then he's gone, right,
so she moved on married another guy, had kids with him.
Everything's great, and I wonder, like I wondered, does that
(06:23):
guy ever lay up at night and be like, man,
you know, if that dude hadn't tragically died, like I
wouldn't even be here. I wouldn't have my kids, I
wouldn't have any of this. Like maybe I would have
had it with somebody else. But like that, I'm admitting
that's an insecurity, but that would get to me, I think,
But but it's that that's life. But now I got it.
Now you got to have like something tangible with you
(06:43):
at the wedding. To me, I'm trying to really like
sure resemble him, Like guys, we're moving.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
On like right at the wedding, probably not see if
Hobby did that, we wouldn't be at the Little White
Wedding Chapel I think we'd be honestly in therapy to
work through that because it's like, why would you want
to include that on your special day?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Are you really ready to do this? If we're still
reflecting on the best.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
Question, have anything from their previous you know, marriage or
like a photo or.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Anything, I mean, and how it exists? Like we can
put them away. I'm not saying I don't want them,
you know, like plastered on the on the living room
wall when you walk in. Probably not, but I would
still understand that this happened. Like you said, it's a
part of his history, right, I mean she didn't do
anything to me.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
I mean she passed away.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Right, Theoretically, in this theory, we're doing like she passed away,
and I don't want him to forget her, But on
our special day, probably not.
Speaker 7 (07:30):
This is today is about us because.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
You're loving a not complete person.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
I feel like at that point, like a part of
their heart will always be with the spouse that they
thought they were going to spend the rest of their
life with.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And that's totally fair.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But like you know, on our special day, at least
you know it's my wedding too, right, it's a two
people event.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
It's you know, for yourself, I watched it can be
a multiple person, you know, it could.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Be correct, It can be, but my mind, for example,
always me and we two of us.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Right, That's what I'm saying. I don't think everyone can
handle that situation. I really don't think that. I agree,
just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I mean, what, Jason, you're over here with this look
on your face of disgust, like honestly, like, okay, so
so Mike the mechanic wants to marry you, and he's like, hey,
but this dude I hooked up with on grinder a
while ago, like, I need I need to make sure
that I he left his chain in my house.
Speaker 8 (08:18):
It's a little different, but for multiple years.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay. But honestly, though, do you want a person who
is who is essentially you're replacing them? I mean, okay, okay,
imagine this, imagine imagine Okay, you're my beloved co worker, right, you,
my beloved coworker. God forbid, I hate this example, but
God forbid you decide I'm going to I'm I'm going
(08:45):
to move on. I'm going to go and be Britney
Spears's manager. And everyone's happy, well sort of happy.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
For you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, I mean like it's a little late in the
game for that, but you know, still, okay, so you're
going to be Britney Spears's manager. We're also happy for you.
We're clapping or whatever, and then you know, it's wonderful,
it's a wonderful day, something like, you know, here's to
the jolly goodfellow whatever. Okay, So then we have to
replace you. Sadly, it's terrible. But we have a picture
of you right there in your chair that stares at
(09:13):
the new person every single day, and it says, we
miss so we miss you so much Jason Brown, you know,
to the greatest person to ever sit in this chair,
Jason Brown, you know. And the new person has to
sit there and stare at that all morning. I mean,
it might be true, but what I'm saying is nobody
wants that daily reminder that like there was somebody greater
(09:33):
than me here.
Speaker 9 (09:34):
That's completely it is not it is not at all.
It is completely different.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
This is.
Speaker 8 (09:42):
Cast away.
Speaker 9 (09:43):
I didn't die, but you're not here anymore. Better even
crazier people I've somehow found them, But that's so different.
There's nothing like I can't even imagine the pain of
losing a spouse.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
So I look at I have.
Speaker 9 (10:05):
If I have not been through that, there, I cannot
say one single thing about how you deal with it.
That pain is like I can you even think about
how that makes you feel? Like you can feel all
you want, But I would have to be fine with
It's not like it's competition.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
He's gone, yeah, but don't. Don't my feelings about this matter.
I'm marrying you now. It's about me now, it's not
about that person. I'm so sorry for what happened. But
I feel like if we're honoring your ex husband at
your new wedding, I mean, listen to that sentence that doesn't.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
Say anything about the grief and how she deals with it.
I'm sorry, absolutely my opinion, you didn't you know, go
through that. She did, So whatever she needs to do
to feel better, that's what she gets to do.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Yeah, at your wedding. At your wedding, you're going to
honor another.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
Jason yea if someone died that they were married to,
who am I to say? You don't get too honestly
the new husband.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Goodness?
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Oh, because I was trying to figure out whose side
I'm on today, and I think today I want to
be on the right side today.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, it's welcome, it's nice over here.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Because Fri is dead.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
So like literally, they're never going to be your competition,
competing with the goal.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Never.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true.
I think if a person is still honoring their ex
husband at the wedding to the new person, you are
constantly being compared to that honoring.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
First of all, it's just I'm wearing today a symbol
of somebody I love that has passed on.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Yes, it, I mean for you would have to walk
away like it bother you. Then you would have to say, listen,
this is not for me.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
I can't handle that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
She's not wearing his chain, She's wearing his wedding ring.
Oh my god, what do you want.
Speaker 7 (11:58):
Me to do?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes, now, she can keep it. I don't don't even
melt it down. I'm not trying to. I'm not trying
to destroy the human being. I mean, we're moving on.
We're moving on to Cleveland. Roberta, Roberta, how you doing?
What did you want to say? This is nuts? You
guys are crazy.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
I agree with me.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Why is he?
Speaker 10 (12:19):
Why is he?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Like?
Speaker 10 (12:20):
Why is he comparing himself to a ghost, like why
did you feel like he's in competition with him? Like
she knew what he was good heyman? To he knew
that she was a widow, and he knew that she
loved that.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
She loved him. But isn't memory enough?
Speaker 10 (12:33):
I mean, it's braud.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
What Roberta, are you married? Are you married? Yes? Would
you have been okay with your husband honoring another woman
who he was previously married to at his wedding to you?
Come on, Roberta, come on, There's a time and a
place for this stuff. I'm not saying we raised his memory.
I'm not saying that it wasn't. They're not. It's been
a fun time in your life. But I'm so you
(13:00):
tell me when when I take your clothes off at
the end of the night, I gotta look at the
wedding ring of the dude from before.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
It's like a tattoo if somebody had a tattoo, do
you know what I'm saying? Or the tramp stamps, you know,
like it's so little reminder. But why are you like
he knew amp stamp?
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Who's getting a tram stamp with him? Roberto what kind
of tattoos you got, I'm worried about you.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
I got a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
You know that some women get their their spouses names
on them, although they shouldn't, but you know it's so
it's like that. But like this person is dead, Like
why is he trying to like? Why is he trying
to compete with him?
Speaker 8 (13:41):
Right?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Why am I being reminded of him? I guess it's
going to be hard enough to just Camean's original point.
The amount of trauma that must you know, that you
must endure to process something like that is extreme, like
and there's no one questioning that. But I guess I
would wonder if we're doing that, are you really ready
for me? I guess would be the question that I
(14:03):
would be asked.
Speaker 10 (14:05):
But do you not think that they had the conversation beforehand?
Like I'm sure that he was aware that he meant
something really special to her because that was her husband
at some point, so he should have had that in
the back of his mind before he asked her to
marry him.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, but he also he's gone to Reddit because he
feels a little shocked by this gesture, like he didn't
see this case.
Speaker 10 (14:26):
He's a man he doesn't know how to communicate.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
I mean, he wrote very clearly. I read it, so
have a good day. I don't think anyone's saying that
you don't honor what was. I just don't know if
that's the time and the place and the way to
manifest him, because because I do think you also have
to consider how it makes the person you're marrying feel.
That person's feelings matter too in this but the grief
that comes with losing a spouse.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
And then I'm back at this wedding place where I
only saw this for my past husband, so it's like
it's something that maybe makes her feel safe in moment
to like I'm doing this again. I'm trying to love
again without the fear of losing this person again. It's
just a little sense of comfort, like a blanky. I
cannot bring my blanky like you know this.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Why is your dead husband your comfort? I'm your comfort.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
It takes a special kind of person and it's okay,
Like everybody's feelings are valid. If it's not working for you,
that's okay, that's okay period.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Okay to Wanta, Hi, Hi, Hey, so sad that you
were in this situation like this, and I am sorry
that you encountered this.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
Thank you. I was with to one for ten years.
We had three boys together, and unfortunately he passed away
and about four ish, almost five years later, I met
someone else. We were married. My system off from my
previous marriage was my matrid of honor. Her husband helped
pay for our limos, and we're still very active in
(15:53):
each other's lives. We go on vacations together with each
other's families and everything. So I think it just depends
on how mature you take the situation. I'm sure that
my husband probably feels a certain way, but because we
have children together, he just wanted to give them as
much love as he could doing if they had a loss.
(16:15):
So I just think that sometimes you have to think
about that person's all over with you, and if it
was you that passed away, would you want your wife
to forget about you and never ever think about you
ever again? No, I think that's hard to say if
you haven't been in a situation.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
No, Jo what I wouldn't, But I also I wouldn't.
I guess I can tell you I wouldn't expect to
be honored in any way at her wedding to another man.
I don't think that's the time and the place. I'm
not saying that you shouldn't be friends with your I
mean everything that you just said is completely reasonable. You
have kids in a family, You didn't ask for any
of this, that's all reasonable. I just don't know why.
You know, we have the ice sculpture of the man
(16:53):
at the rehearsal, like I don't know, Like I don't know.
We don't need to do that, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Yeah, I sculpture might be a little much. Yeah, you know,
I mean he wanted to wear the necklace. I mean
maybe not on her neck per se, but maybe intertwine
and her garter or something like that. I mean, I
don't I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Think we needed any closer to the virgin than just
think there's a time and a place. But hey, and
thank you for sharing. And I'm sorry that happened to you.
And I appreciate your.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Perspective your friend, and I hope that everything turns out
great for her.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you so much. Luckily I don't know this person,
because if I did, I wouldn't I would be uninvited
to the wedding. Hey, Kyle, how you doing? Good morning? Hey,
turn the radio down, Kyle, please, Okay, there you go.
Hey man, what do you want to say?
Speaker 11 (17:41):
Go ahead, Hey, I'm just saying I agree with you.
I mean the guy unfortunately he passed away. But at
the same time, like he don't need to remember that
at my wedding, because hey, this is my day, Like,
why do you take my shign off of me? And no,
it's not about being a competition or anything. But how
would you feel if I wore my springing as she
(18:01):
passed away? You're gonna have a whole feet Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I don't think that would go over very well with
very many people. But thank you, Kyle.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
I have a good day.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I appreciate you now. But somebody said, here's the thing.
Somebody said on here, what do they say Fred isn't
ready to marry a widow because he's not accepting it
her fully. First of all, I don't know what you're
talking about. That is it is case by case. I'm
talking about a particular case where it seems like a
woman is not necessarily over her previous marriage. That's what
it seems like to me. But I don't think we're
considering the other side of this. I think we're only
(18:29):
considering the needs of this woman. Okay, because as a
guy who has dated people who have lost their previous
significant other, I'm accepting of that person's situation, But I
think that person needs to be accepting of mine, which
is that I'm going to be insecure about this man
that you loved and didn't do anything wrong. This isn't
(18:50):
a breakup, this isn't a divorce. I mean, you know,
everything was fine and then they were gone, and that
is awful, right, But like that's going to be difficult
for me too. So why why are we Why do
we have to put that in my face on that day?
I guess it'd be the question that I'm asking because
as much as I am going to be obviously i'm
marrying you, I'm accepting of of of whatever you've been through.
(19:13):
I think you also have to accept the fact that, wow,
I wouldn't even be here if that hadn't happened. And
you know, that's a significant relationship that ended with zero closure.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
Did they say how long she had been widowed before
they started to It didn't say.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
And by the way, someone says that screams insecurity. Yeah,
I said that from the beginning. It does. I'm insecure
about it.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
I'm very honest.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I'm telling you. I know it's an unpopular opinion. I'm
just telling you what I think.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
And I respect that. I respect that. I mean, I
think we should all be able to say our opinions.
And that's okay.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I did say from the beginning when I told you,
I was keeping it on the real it's an unpopular opinion,
and you guys can cunt on me all day, but
that's what I think. Oh, I have agree with you,
and it would be it would absolutely be an insecurity.
Absolutely it would be.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Yeah, because I don't know if you ever get over
that because it wasn't there's no closure, there wasn't any problem. Yeah,
So it's like you say, she's not over it. I
wonder if you ever do. I mean, who knows. I
couldn't speak on it.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
But let's see the biggest stories of the day. Next.
God got Bruno mars now back in three minutes. It's
the Fred's Show.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Fred's Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
People are texting like, well, you know you're never gonna forget.
I'm not asking you to forget. Can we not do
it on my birthday and my wedding day, did you
mind as hard as it is Christmas? Right, I mean,
I don't think we needed to have like a full
play setting for the guy, you know, but gifts under
(20:41):
the tree from Bob, like he got a better Christmas
present than I did, and he's dad like, what are
we doing? No? No, no, that's Bob, like a full
on offering, like could I have seconds to know those?
I'm sorry, that's for Bob.
Speaker 11 (20:57):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
I don't know, especially if the dude were like awesome, yes,
you know what I mean. And that tends to have
when people pass away to it's like we only remember
the really really amazing thing, which is fine. I mean,
I tell I want to be remembered not from all
my moronic things that I've done, but like for the
better things I've But you know, that would I just
think that would be really hard. You know, You're at
like family dinner and everyone's like, oh, man, yeah you
know so and so, oh yeah he was he was
(21:18):
a great He was in you know, greated skiing. He
was a great skier. You know, he was actually was
really good. He could have gone pro with it, I think,
you know, and you're just sit there.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Going damn it. I can't even go down the bunny.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I can't. I'm like, I'm out here with the what
do they say that like the cheese greater cheese? Yeah? Really?
Like really? Okay, So I don't add up to the guy,
got it?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Oh yeah, I remind you, Bob, barbecue was so much better.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And you're talking about how in a fight you'd be like, well, Bob,
Bob never would have acted this.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Way like.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Honoring.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Now you're just being toxic weapon. Where I no longer here.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Jason wants to make sure I know he's not with me.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Ye, biggest choice of the day. A certificate has been
issued by the Vatican lists the cause of Pope Francis's
death as a stroke that prompted irreversible heart failure. The
certificate officially lists the cause of death as cerebral stroke,
coma and cardio circulatory collapse heart failure. I guess now
there you go. Now that's something I'd like to see
(22:27):
all these guys going, oh man, all these cardinals getting together.
Oh so sad about Francis. But it should be me,
you know, you can bet on it, it should be me.
I could yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Oh yeah, yeah, I forgot it was you. Who sent
it to me?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Yeah, you're taking bets on which cardinal it's going to be.
I thought it was an Italian guy. Shoot, there's the Canadian.
Oh so the Canadians jumping ahead.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
I can't say his name.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Wow, Jason's on the pulse of this. Let's go, let's
go line to the Vatican now, Jason Brown out in
front of the the papal conclave. Jason, what is the
latest on the race to be the.
Speaker 9 (23:05):
According to the you know the betting websites that I'm
always on and following out here and the Vatican, here's
that Italy I'm at it, Cardinal Pietro Parolene is the
slight favorite to succeed. He's Canadians. Yep, wait, maybe not.
Oh I thought Canadian is cardinal I saw is from
(23:27):
It's uh, he's Italian.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Gee, he's always an Italian. Always go with the Italian,
I know. That's what about Steve Smith? About Cardinal Steve Smith,
Kansas City?
Speaker 10 (23:38):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Why are we not looking at him?
Speaker 8 (23:39):
He's also seventy years old, so old as hell.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That's the last time I believed him for my bets.
You told me he was Canadian.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
I saw the sea with Canadian.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Well we shouldn't because you would have bet on the Canadian. Yeah,
never before. I don't believe he has been a Canadian pope.
I don't think they're right.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
There should be the very fair. But he was my
sports reporter and now familiarly like.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
A line up I can see, like a starting lineup.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Yeah, there may be.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
I I'm just curious to see who's up for this job.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
And they one of them picks the hats.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
If you want to know about this though, it's the
Papal Conclave. I guess. The movie Conclave is now on
Amazon Prime as of like today, so nice, nice timing.
There won a bunch of awards. I might have to
watch it, though, But the pontiff his funeral has been
scheduled for Saturday. After nine days of morning events, cardinals
from around the world will meet at the Sistine Chapel
to conduct a secretive vote to elect the new pope.
(24:30):
The process takes two to three weeks and all ballots
are burned afterwards. What is going on in there that
we can't know about it? While you are sworn for
eternity not to tell anybody what happens in there? What
are we doing in there. How are we determining which
one of these people is the best?
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I don't love that.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
And are they campaigning? You think Number one on the
list is calling his boys and being like, I'll tell
you what you know. You hook me up with this,
I'll make sure that you're a saint. Like literally, I
can make you a saint. Like I'll do that for you.
Speaker 6 (25:01):
It's like an unfair advantage because like it's all the
way over there.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm not sure. I'm really not sure. But yeah, then
it will be white smoke that will rise from the
chapel's chimney, signing a new era of leadership for the
world's one point four billion Catholics. So there's that another day.
An of the plane story A couple for you. A
Delta Airlines plane with almost three hundred people on board
caught fire at the Orlando International Airport on Monday, but
(25:26):
the airline says that it was safely evacuated with no
reports of injuries. Also, passengers on a recent Delta flight
from Atlanta to Chicago were forced to hold up the
plane ceiling after it collapsed mid air. The Boeing seven
to one SEVENS panel was later a fixed into place
by attendant so customers didn't have to manually hold it
up during the flight. No injuries reported during the flight.
(25:48):
I have to say this, as far as this is
concerned for the picture that I saw, and I don't
know anything about this seven seventeen, but you know, i'd
look like a trim piece fell and those things are
meant to come off so they can inspect the oxygen masks,
inspect everything that's behind there. So I mean, this is
not like a critical thing, but I would not feel
great if I'm flying along on the ceiling just because
I'd be like, what else did we? Did we miss
(26:09):
any other nuts or bolts? You know, It's like me
at the end of a Lego set where there's like
five or six pieces left, and I'm like, I really
hope those weren't essential to anything. You know, do you
think this the airplane took off and the mechanics were like,
oh man, we forgot to screw those things in, didn't we? Okay,
But as far as like it would be like the
ceiling tile falling in the thing, Like the building's not
going to collapse the ceiling tile film. It's not awe
(26:31):
inspiring by any means, but like nice.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
My trail mix with my handholds the ceiling.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
You not to trade off with the guy next to you.
Come on, you know, be like, I'll tell you what
or maybe the middle seat has to do it because
the middle seat, you know, you're just the unlucky one.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
Right.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
This is disgusting and it's a whole new generation of bullying.
I mean, I feel like we all grew up with
people just saying mean things. And you know, you go
to school and there were the bullies and the insecure
people and they would say mean things to you or
tell you that you were ugly or not good at
sports or whatever like that was hard, right. Well, now
you can't escape it because social media and tech and
(27:06):
all this stuff. The latest teams are using artificial intelligence
to create realistic nude images of their classmates and then
share them. So with just a headshot, often lifted from
a yearbook photo or social media platform, these AI apps
can fabricate explicit, deep fake images that appear scarily real,
and it's happening in schools. Last summer, the San Francisco
(27:28):
City Attorney's Office said that sixteen people were sued for
so called Newdify websites for allegedly violating laws around child
exploitation and non consensual images, but they escape past some
state laws. In Minnesota, they're trying to pass legislation to
hold them accountable. A whole different level of bullying and
it's terrible. Gen Z grads, I think a lot of
(27:50):
people can relate to this, say their college degrees were
a total waste of time and money. Nearly half of
gen Z grads say that their degrees have are been
made obsolete by the rise of generative AI tools like
chech EPT, and they're wondering why they even bothered to
attend college. And new Indeed report found forty nine percent
of gen Z job hunters think that their college education
(28:12):
has lost value in the job market thanks to AI.
Only one third of millennials feel the same way, and
one in five boomers have similar regrets. Have you went
to college thirty years ago and I went to college
twenty years ago? At this point you should expect that
whatever you know. I don't think I can ride on
when they do it temmy HTML. You know, I don't
think I should still be making money on that now.
(28:34):
I probably should have evolved, but I would I will
say the amount of money that was invested in a
college degree. Did I have to have it? I hear
you to be successful in this business, I would tell
you probably not. However, and I was talking to my
sister about this the other day because the college that
we went to is now eighty five thousand dollars a year.
She and my mom actually went to the same college. Yes,
(28:55):
eighty five thousand dollars a year, all in to go
to college there. And that's just to live there and
eat and go to school and buy the books or whatever.
I don't know, I guess iPads or computers, whatever it is. Now,
that's not the travel back and forth. That's not all
the rest of it, the cars and whatever else you
might need. And my sister has two kids, and that's now,
and they're fourteen years away from doing this. I can't
(29:17):
imagine what it's going to cost. And so let's say
let's say it's let's say it's one hundred thousand. Let's
say let's just around numbers, it's going to cost a
million dollars to send both those girls to school. And
you have to ask yourself at some point, is there
a return on investment for that? Like, it's not going
to be is probably going to be four hundred thousand
dollars ahead of everyone else if we send her to
college and pay that much money. My answer would be
(29:39):
probably not. And then you could say, well, you know,
for those people who I know, Caitlin, you did and
and I did, you know, moved far Well, you didn't
move too far away, but I moved a thousand miles
already to go to college, you know. And it was
and my parents were like, you can go anywhere you want.
You nowhere in Arizona, nowhere, or any neighboring state, Like
you need to go far enough away you can and
(30:00):
drive home like this is part of the deal. And
so we went and we did that, and I did that,
and I would argue that that was a transformational time
in my life. But was it worth that much money?
If you've got it, maybe, But if you don't, If
you're sending your kid to college because you think they're
going to get a better job and make a bunch
more money off of that, I'm not sure if that's
true anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
It's just crazy eighty thousand dollars a year, and then
these people are applying for jobs that pay like eighteen
dollars an hour, So like it's just the math's not
math thing.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
And I feel like AI is doing a lot.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Of stuff in the work in the workforce, like it's
changing a lot of jobs and opportunities for people too.
It's you know, essentially like eliminating jobs. So I don't
know where the fairness is for kids who are going
to college.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
I want my kid to go to college.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
I do, but I'm also not a post to her
doing other things like if gig shows, for example, my daughter,
if she shows, you know, interest in makeup, whatever it
might be, and she's good, we might be going to cosmetology.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
School, you know what I mean, trade schools that or
something specialized like computer programing. My brother in law did that.
He makes it a very good living.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Some of these kids are just good at certain things,
like I said, the makeup, or they are going to
Peter work and computer stuff.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
I don't know what it's called.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
That's how good they are. I don't even know how
to call that.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
I don't even know what it's don't even peter. That's
how we got Karen. Now, Karen went to college and
she's a genius. The actual men's a genius. But that
she was a genius before she went to college. Okay,
she born, she was born that way, lady guy I
got saying that song about her. Yeah, it's true. I
don't know. It's a luxury. I think it's long been
a luxury. And if you've got the money, great, Yeah,
(31:25):
I just I don't know. I guess I don't know
about if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer,
you're going to have to do it, you know, therapist,
any kind of you know, you need to graduate degree
for it. You're going to have to do it. It's
the way it is, and we probably should. But I
don't know. I don't know if it's you know, if
it was automatic. It seemed for everybody I grew up with,
and now I'm not sure if it should be for
that much money.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
It's great for life skills, but I was going to say.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Right, but for a half a million bucks, like, I
don't know. I'll tell you what i'll take. I'll take
half of that, or less than half of that. I'll
buy you an apartment in a big city, and we'll
get you a nice online gets you a nice laptop,
and you can get some online training, get you a
job and honestly like, okay, we can. We can do
a lot of the same things for less money, and
(32:06):
it will get you some life experience, like we'll throw
you into You're not wrong. But here's the thing about college, right.
The thing about college is it's kind of like supervised
responsibility because no one's holding your hand. But like freshman year,
you've got our age, you got people to make sure
that you're like getting out of your room eventually. If
you don't go to class, someone's gonna call somebody and
call your parents eventually and be like where is so
(32:27):
and so. So there's a little bit of accountability. So
it's kind of like sheltered independence. You can still totally
screw up your life.
Speaker 7 (32:34):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
But then but at the same time, like there's a
limit to how far it's gonna go before somebody finally
calls mom and dad and goes, hey, little Timmy hasn't
shown three months, you know, right, you better go get
little Timmy out of you know, Sam's pub down the
street or whatever.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
I don't know, to be honest, you like, i'd rather invest.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
I don't know how you can do this in like
life skills, essentially putting my kid in a situation where
she learns how to like bes a room or.
Speaker 7 (33:00):
Like work the room, meet people. I'm a big believer
it's about who you know, not just what you know.
And I'm like, well, how do I get my kids
to like be that.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
I don't want her to be shy and just like
always closed off, Like I want her to be able
to walk into your room and just bes the crap
out of it.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Send her out with Jonathan.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
Honestly, but you could argue you throw them into the
real world in some kind of like nurtured way, and
they're first they're forced to sink or swim like they
have to. They have to figure this stuff out, you know.
It's like you can't really teach that street smarts. You
kind of have to.
Speaker 7 (33:27):
Like that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
I gotta wrap this up though. Chipotle Mexican Grill might
have Mexican in its name, but it hasn't gone to
Mexico until now. Chipotle is opening up in Mexico City
early next year, and I'm sure they're super excited about it.
They can't wait. I'm sure the people in Mexico City
are like I've been waiting for their soutange Quisi the.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Best street tacos in the world, arguably in.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, so they have James Beard street tacos. But here's
the thing. Chipotle is delicious. I don't know that it
represents some form of Textmax. It's its own lane, you know,
so like not to say that they won't enjoy it there.
But maybe we don't call it a Mexican grill there.
Maybe we just call it Chipotle and we just serve
the food and you enjoy it. And the most unhealthy
(34:14):
fast food burger in America is at five guys, which
apparently it's just like the normal cheeseburger is super unhealthy.
It's one of the most unhealthy cheeseburgers, if not the
most unhealthy, with a fifty point unhealthiest score. They also
wig in as the unhealthiest fries, Waterburger, smash Burger, and
Carls Junior trailed behind in the ranking. Five Guys had
(34:38):
seventy three percent more saturated fat than any other fast
food cheeseburger on the list. Now, remember Carls Junior is
the place that takes the cheeseburger and deep fries it
and then rolls it in a pizza like that SNL
skit and then deep fries it again and then rolls it.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
In ranch and ladies and bikinis right.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
And then serves it to you. You know, well, the
whole thing goes down your fright in a bikini and
goes down your face. So it's a school bus Driver
Appreciation Day, National Jellybean Day, National Girl Scout Day, and
today is Earth Day as well. All right, let's see
Stay or Go. We'll debate some relationship drama. We'll get
to an entertainer report at some point. I promise there
(35:15):
were too busy talking about the youth of America and
whether not to go to college. That show is on,
Stay or Go. Let's debate some relationship drama. In just
a second. The entertainer report a hundred bucks show biz Kiki,
still a very good record in the game. But you've
never lost two in a row. So we'll see if
it happens. Today people are texting that a lot of
the like AI digital recruiting sites or application sites where
(35:38):
you apply for jobs, will eliminate people who don't have
at least in associates, which is crazy, but I guess
I would argue in the years to come, like are
we going to rethink that, because people are going to,
if they haven't already, are going to stop being able
to afford this, or they're going to say I just can't,
like I cannot start my life with a half and
a lot of people in this room and otherwise no,
like I can't start my life with a half a
(35:58):
million dollars in debt at ten percent interest or whatever
it is. I don't know what the interest rate is.
But oh yeah about that part, you know. And then
you look at my sister. She wanted to be a therapist.
She went to undergrad masters, worked her ass off. Makes X.
My brother in law went to computer coding class I
think for three months and he makes the X two X.
I'm sure you know it, and they did. We joke
about it all the time, like good for him, it's amazing,
(36:19):
you know whatever. And he's had to run with that
and make it into something more so that he could
do that. Well, But then you know, my but my
sister had no option. You want to be a therapist,
that's what you got to do. Your mom knows that.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Has anyone ever asked you to see your degree before
they gave you a job?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Never? No. But I've also only interviewed for one job
in my professional life, and it was for this company
twenty four years ago.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
I don't know anybody who had to shut there.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Nobody. I never No one asked for a resume, Nobody
asked me, no one asked me to prove that I
had a degree exactly.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Paulina brought hers.
Speaker 7 (36:47):
Yeah, I brought my Nobody even you physically brought it
to this job interview, not for not to be on
the radio, but she work in sales.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
He brought the you like the physical piece of paper.
Speaker 7 (36:58):
Nobody tells you not, they know that's real.
Speaker 9 (37:00):
Big.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
Nobody tell you right, Nobody tell hey, I woke my
ass off. Yeah, I'm bringing this piece of paper with ray.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Nobody even know where miney is.
Speaker 8 (37:11):
All this money, I don't even know where to find.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
But they sure know where to find me to ask
for more money. Right. I'm like, didn't you get a
number my parents' money already? Why are you calling me
now more freadshell next
