Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well up in the city. I think it's gonna be okay.
I feel good about it. Well you did say that, okay,
don say's gonna be terrible. I don't know what to do.
I'm trying to I'm trying to be positive. In twenty
twenty five, Bread Show is on. I have a lot
of respect for people, the fespians, you know, stage and actors.

(00:21):
It's very hard to do. I'm sure. I just for me,
I just for some reason, it makes me uncomfortable, like
people singing in a non I should in a non
musical way, like a conversational way like that. When I
do a concert doesn't make me up. I mean, the
crowds make me uncomfortable, but like the event itself is amazing.
But for some reason, people like overacting, like over dramatizing

(00:45):
basic things. It just makes me uncomfortable. And it's a
me problem. It's a me issue. I guess I'm just
too dry and literal and devoid of emotion. I guess
I'm not sure. But like I went to Dear Evan
Hanson my sister wanted to go for her for her
birthday and went to New York and Broadway and the
whole thing I actually really liked it. I thought they
did a great job and it's a sweet story. But

(01:07):
my parents, my mom, just just to sum it up,
my mom and my aunt and my sister are sobbing.
My brother in law is looking at sports scores. My
dad's asleep. I'm just and I'm going, okay, where like
what a motley crew I'm with right now? But I
don't know. For some reason, stage acting just makes me

(01:28):
feel weird. I just really want you to see Wicked, though,
because it's so good.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
And I'm not a musical girl either.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Really.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, I've got a voicemail about that. I just haven't checked.
Kiki has more issues with restaurants, and you know what's
interesting is I do too. And so it's funny that
you you brought this up this morning because I've noticed
something too. It happened to me yesterday, but you go first.
So your latest this isn't this is actually isn't the
latest grape. You've had this gripe before about going out to.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
Oh yes, and it had been this weekend again, which like,
we got to do something about this man. We have
to free our waiters from these long scripts about whatever
we're ordering and the history of the restaurant and the
history of the building and the history of America. I
don't want to hear it. I just want to order,

(02:20):
and I'm not trying. Like, Kaylen, you would be very
proud of me. I sat there, I made eye contact
for forty five mire that little student, Yeah, fourth coive
minutes while I learned about the history of the cow
that I was about to eat, And I'm just like,
why are you doing this? Like I know you don't
want to do this, and I don't want you to
do this, so like, why are we doing this?

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I learned about this on on Bar Rescue, John Taffer
tell me about this. The reason they do that is
about perceived value. So like if they sit there and
talk to you about the cow from where the stakes
came from, and they give you like a twenty minute
spiel about how they're the only people in the world
that have access to these magic cows that came from Jupiter,
and they fly down on a spaceship that bushets to
you that can't get on, and they come down from

(03:01):
space and they're so tender because they've never actually been
in gravity before or whatever whatever the story is. It
makes you think that whatever the price is is more worthwhile.
So then when they charge you seventy bucks for a steak,
you're like, well, I mean it's you know, it's Mars Prime.
You know nobody else has that Mars Prime meat or whatever.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Like I love you, but I don't care. I just
want to eat.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
And then like she would come back and she was
we would be in a deep conversation with the people
at the table, and she was like, you know, excuse me, okay,
so you wanted the garlic butter.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Let me tell you about the garlic butter.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
It was turned by somebody's grandma in nineteen seventy two
weeks was holding on it until you came in here today.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
And now we added special like, girl, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Write some garlic butter and the butter twelve bucks. That's why. See, yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
So, I mean, we gotta wrap it up, man, word economy,
bro please.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Well, I went to this restaurant last night. I went
by myself because I'm traveling, and I went as this
restaurant and my friends like you got to go there
and sit at the bar and like order you know,
the taco's there, and then whatever. So I'm sitting there.
Then he tells me this earlier in the day, so
then I'm like, I'm gonna go. So I went, and
I'm eating or the food didn't come yet. I got

(04:12):
the beer, I guess, and I took a picture of it,
and then my friend's like, oh no, wait, you got
to get the guacamole there too. You gotta get the guacamole.
So I say at the bartender, I'm like, hey, I
know I just ordered half the menu, but can I
get the guacamole too. My friend says it's good, and
she just kind of stares at me for a second,
and she goes, would you like that spicy extra spicy mild?
And I'm like, I don't know how spicy spicy and

(04:34):
she goes, well, I'm about to make it for you,
so it's whatever you want it to be. And she
wasn't like mean about it, but you could tell that
she was just sort of I guess it's table side guacamole,
but if you're at the bar, then the bartender has
to make it for you and they have a little
station behind the thing. But she just kind of looked
at me like really, cause I mean, again, not rude

(04:55):
or anything. But she's just probably tired of making guacamole.
Plus you got other stuff to do. I did not
realize this was a table side guacamole situation. Those sorts
of things make me uncomfortable. I tend not to order
them because I feel like, you know, like the like
the table side caesar salad, the guy's gotta come and
it's getting a little tray and the you know, the
little cart, and it's just the whole thing, and they
it's like you the only thing that guy wants to

(05:16):
do that you really think the guy wants to like
chop up the guacamole right in front of, you know,
the avocado right in front. He probably not. I just
figured it was back in the kitchen somewhere. They'd bring
it to me, and I immediately felt bad. As soon
as she started like chomping away at this thing instead
of you know, mixing drinks or whatever else she had
to do, I immediately felt bad. Now again, I think
they can charge you more because you know, if they

(05:38):
do the banana foster, the flombey or whatever by the table,
then other people see it, they want it, and then
it looks like it you know, a lot more works,
so more effort. I'm sure they make more tips from it.
So there's that. But I'm on, I was uncomfortable watching
her make like chop up my avocada right in front
of me. It's like, it's like I can go back
there and do it. It's no problem. You know. They
just wouldn't let me knock on it. But here's the thing,

(06:01):
this is where I was going with this. Eight five
five five nine one one three five you can call
in Texas, same number. The guacamole was fire, Okay, I
don't And here's the thing about fire guacamole too. By
the way, there's not really much to it. I mean
I watched your do it. There's avocado, there's lime, there's tomato, onion,
and then jolapeno, pepper, and there may have been like

(06:23):
salt and something else. No no garlic, no garlic, No
garlic and no garlic no, And so I've made that
mistake before. No no garlic in guacamole. I love it mine.
And so but I'm looking at this, go, why is
this so damn good? Because you didn't put any kind
of crazy krack in there or anything. I just watched
you make it. So I don't know why I was looking,

(06:44):
but I gotta think that this woman in her private life,
people are like make the guacamole, Like, make guacamole. Hey,
you you work at this place, bring over, make the
guacamole and bring it over to the party. Or like
when we did the Beni Hanna thing a few weeks
ago and the guy let me do the beat a
chef thing and let me go back there and do that.
I was like, your friends must always be asking you

(07:05):
to be like the habachi guy at the parties, right,
because you work at Benny Hanna, they must always be
asking you to do it. And he goes, yeah, they do,
and I tell him no, I'll do it for other
people if they hire me to do it, but I'm
not doing it for my friends. And so I just
I wonder what is the thing whether it's what you
do now or what you did in your past, but
what is the thing that you now know how to

(07:25):
do when everybody wants you to do it because you
do and you're like, uh, you know, like if you're
a bar, like for example, my brother in law is
a bar. He was a bartender, and so now my
mom thinks this is the greatest thing ever, and she
has the guy like batch make margaritas before he leaves
town and put him in big jars and put him
in her refrigerator, like every drink has to be made

(07:45):
by him because he's a professional bartender and he's really
good at He's better at it than the rest of
us are. So like the guy is trying to evolve.
He's a computer programmer now, like I'm a bar so
mu's my past. Okay, we don't have to keep bringing
that up. But yet that's all that. You know, everyone
wants him to be the bartender because it's like you
know how to do it? Do you guys know how
to do anything that everybody wants you to do all

(08:06):
the time.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
It's like you said it before.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Your family always expects you to host like everything, like
it's a baby shower, here's give the mic to Fred.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
It's a funeral, Give the mic to Fred.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
It's like, I don't want to host this, like I
just want to attend.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
No, that is true. For whatever reason, I have to
give the eulogi and anyone's funeral, anyone's funeral. It's like, hey,
you'll do it. I'm like what do you mean I'll
do it. They're like, well, you're a public speaker. I'm like, no,
I'm not. I talk to my friends in a microphone
every day, and I guess people listen to it. Not many,
but I guess people listen to it. So why do
I have to go up there? It's a whole different thing,
you know, going up in front of a crowd of people,

(08:41):
especially if you're emotional about it or whatever. Why do
I have to be the one?

Speaker 5 (08:45):
Like?

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Let somebody else. Surely somebody else, Amanda, you go do it.
You're a therapist who.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Was hosting the parties before I got in radio, Like,
who was at the karaoke party before I became this
Because it's very stressful, Yes.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Jason, I mean I feel like you do this to yourself.
But you become the organizer and the party planner for everything.
Like you basically were Paulina's wedding planner and you didn't
you didn't have that role, but you you decided it
on either I don't know, I don't know if you
got kind of encouraged into it or whatever, but you
became the wedding planner. You were the one ushering us
all around Las Vegas.

Speaker 6 (09:19):
Yeah, and I totally do that to myself because I
can't be anywhere and have people do things for me,
like I immediately feel uncomfortable to where I need to
like stand up and help, like that's a personal flaw that.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
I'm working at people. But no one asked me to
do that. I just assumed the position. Okay, so the
tables like walk em only thing would have been a
real problem for you then, cause it's like oh yeah,
oh yeah, no no, no yeah. I felt bad as
soon as I'm oh, you have to do it, like
I don't want it anymore. She's like, no, no, no, it's okay,
it's okay. I felt bad though. Let's talk to Julie
only click on Julie. Oh wait, I think I just

(09:52):
tried to call Julie. How I'm good, Julie, good morning.
So you are a nurse. I can only if you're
a nurse or a doctor what that means?

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Oh lord, Well, you know, I try not to tell
people when I'm out and about that I'm a nurse,
or even if I go to the doctor, I don't
tell them I'm a nurse because I just don't want
people to know. It's not that I'm ashamed or anything,
but the next thing, you know, they're like, hey, can
you look at this rash? Or can you look at
this I have this condition that, and you're like, oh

(10:25):
Jesus Lord, I am not here to look at your body,
you know, really uncomfortable, and it's like, how do you
say no? You know, because it's what you do. But
at the same poem, we're not doctors. We're not here
to diagnose or for you or anything. So that's exhausting.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh I'm sure all my doctor friends say meek, I
did the same thing because I'm paranoid and I'm I
have issues. So if there's anything weird going on, I
immediately have to get an answer. And I can promise
you that WebMD is not the answer I was looking for.
It's usually that I'm dying. We're dead. Usually I'm dead.
If I look at WebMD, I already died and didn't
know it because of a little bump on my knee

(11:06):
or whatever. But so then I have to send pictures
to my dermatologists friend. I mean, she must hate this
because it's it's like I'm not working right now. Bro,
Like you go to your doctor or make an appointment
and pay me, you.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Know, exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (11:19):

Who watches TikTok more? Apparently I do, because I've seen
a bunch of stuff that even Kiki hasn't and she
watches at twenty three point six hours a day. It's
this very thing where someone fakes they're like in the
room with their mom, or they're in the room with
their husband or dad or whatever, and they fake a
phone call and it's basically like, oh yeah, oh really,

I won't.

Speaker 8 (15:15):
You know.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's like people getting signed up for stuff they don't
want to do.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
I love those videos. I actually wanted to do that
to you. I hate that you saw them.

Speaker 1 (15:22):

Speaker 9 (15:28):
Mm hm.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Going on.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
You know what, Nobody would believe you. Nobody ever know you, won't.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
You, But you would have been like, oh my god,
I'm not going and.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Then I would have disappeared into the witness protection programs.
You would never have found me. Good morning, it's the
Fred Show. Thank you so much for having us on
Did your parents lie to you growing up? Because I
had this all right, well, i'll see in therapy. Nobody

(15:59):
had this on my list a while and we just
haven't gotten to it. But what was the lie that
your parents told you growing up? And this is this
is does this sit with you to this day? Eight
five five, five nine one three five You can call
him text the same number, because this list is coming
from the perspective of your parents did a great job
with you if you believed these lies. Okay, it's it's

(16:22):
kind of funny actually, but I'll go through this list
and then we can talk about the ones that I
think are probably more common for people. But I mean,
maybe you're the parent and you're doing the lie. Now,
I would love to hear about it, because you probably
like you were like, I would never did that to
my kids, and then you're doing it now because it's
just easier. I think sometimes my sister lies to my
niece because it's just easier. It's a lie. You know,

(16:44):
the toy stores closed, the ice cream stores had ice
cream or whatever. And by the way, probably I had
a very long talk yesterday about and she just kept
asking the same question over and over again, and I
kept answering the same question. But apparently she's having a
hard time being a big sister because because maybe it
was one Polly's four maybe is one Polly's maybe is boring?

(17:06):
Oh yeah, And I guess Polly tries to body slamm
her all the time. It's like wwe except the maybe
is not, you know, really able to move or let limb,
so so it's an unfair advantage. And my sister and
brother in law are like, hey, you gotta like chill out.
And then she's like, well, this is boring. And then
my sister says, well, why don't you call bubba? She
calls me bubba? What do you call Bubba? And I

(17:26):
asked him what it was like to be a big sibling.
But she calls me, what's it like to be a
big sibling? And then I tell her? And then she
asked me the same question again, and I'm like why
but I just told you? And then she but Bubba
and it was almost like she was proud she knew
the sentence, which she should be because she's brilliant. But
it was no, Well, what's it like to be a
big sibling, like Polly, I just told you so? Yeah,

(17:51):
so you know what. Now there's a reception issue with
the phone. Go figure it out by nobuddy's slamming the
kid out, o' kare, that's what it's like. You know
what it's like being a big sibling is like body
slam somebody all the time. That's that's being a big
sibling in a way. Nonetheless, here are the lies that
you were told growing up, and if you believe them.
According to this author, your parents did a great job.

(18:12):
Number one, you can do anything you want. Lie, a big,
old lie, complete and total lie. However, parenting experts are sagment.
If you believed that that your parents did a nice job,
Telling that your kids that they can do anything is
a classic parenting technique. It might be deceptive, but it

(18:32):
serves a noble purpose. It's meant to inspire hope, encouraging
kids to embrace the world instead of counting themselves out
of all the lies you can tell your kids, of
all the lies, I was told that is not the worst. Sure,
why not? You cant do anything you put your mind to. Okay, great,
even if it's a lie. You got to eat your
vegetables to grow up big and strong. I'm not sure

(18:53):
if there's really even any proof of that, but yeah,
you're supposed to eat your your vegetables. However, if you
were able to convince your kids that was a good
idea and they're like broncoli and asparagus, now, then I
guess you were a good parent. I won't be specific here,
but if your kids believed, or if you believe as
a kid, that's certain things that aren't real were real.

(19:16):
Are you picking up what I'm putting down? Oh? Yes,
If you believe there's certain things that are not actually
real or real, that means that you were raised by
good parents, because it means that the parents were able
to keep their kids' sense of wonder alive. Yes, I
agree with that, so why don't it isn't even a lie.
Like I know they say white lie, but is even
is not even a lie if you tell your kids

(19:37):
that certain things are real when they're not, when you're
just trying to get them to be excited about you know,
I don't know, holidays and that kind of thing doesn't hurt.

Speaker 10 (19:45):
Anybody, no, And it's like given that magic, you know,
like that holiday magic for kids, because once you grow up, buddy,
it's over.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Yeah it's not.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
It's not magical magical. It's always a miserable kid that
ruins it for the happy kids.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah. Oh, I remember the kids that went aroundrunning aroun
telling everybody about this and that. And I'm being careful
because about this, I mean yeah, just like just like
Kler's being careful with the words she's using this early
in the Entertainer Report, I'm being early about the things
that I threw it for anybody, your lies and if

(20:18):
you believed, if your parents told you them and you
believe them, then your parents did a good job. You're
the smartest kid in school. My parents never told me that,
and they never that would have been a lie. So
that's nice. And they didn't tell me that. If you
work hard, all of your dreams will come true. That's
the one. The one I'm my mom my dreams.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Like, I get it.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
I get it.

Speaker 10 (20:41):
You should always work hard and like do your best.
But I don't think it always pays off in that way,
you know what I mean? That makes sense because like life,
and that's not like anyone's fault, it's just how life works.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I would argue that you have no shot at anything
if you don't you know, have a dream and then
work really hard and trying to inspire the dream. So
it's possible, well that it won't come true. But I mean,
I guess as a parent, that's I would tell my
kid too, because if I'm like, nah, it ain't happening, well,
then you know, then what's the point of even attempting it?
So I guess I don't have I mean, what do

(21:13):
you what are you supposed to say? I guess there's
I mean, no, you're not gonna go to the NBA.
I remember I thought I was going to the NBA
when I was in like middle school, even though I
was absolutely completely and totally uncoordinated and average like two
points a game in my basketball game. But I remember,
I'm like, I'm going I'm going to the NBA, and
my parents gonna be like, you were absolutely not going
to the NBA, So like do your homework because you're

(21:36):
not getting bailed out. So I guess there's there's realism.
But then like not crushing a kid's dream, I guess,
so there's more here. You know your art is good.
I you know you're good at singing at the recitals
when you really weren't. Now how do you do that
as a parent? Do you think?

Speaker 11 (21:55):
Now?

Speaker 1 (21:55):
I mean, the only one who's a parent is Paulina
and and Gigi's just not one. But how do you that?
Like if your kid is terrible at something like really
bad and really there's not a whole lot of hope,
and I don't know how you know that. Like if
your kid's a bad singer at like ten but wants
to be a professional singer, can you tell your kid like, eh,
maybe we should try something else. Or do you let
them do it and keep telling them that they're good

(22:18):
at it even when they're not because they might get
good at it, or do you like steer them towards
something else, Like if they're terrible at soccer but they
think they're going to be the next Yeah, David Beckham
or whatever. Then do you say, like, yeah, at what
point do you tell them like I don't think so. Yeah,
I'm all for like rerouting.

Speaker 10 (22:37):
Obviously Ggi's only one, but I think about this all
the time because I'm like, well, if she sucks at this, like.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
I don't want to encourage her.

Speaker 10 (22:43):
And I'm all for like a the Lulu mindset because
sometimes I feel like that works out for people. But
I also don't want her to like walk around thinking
she's that girl and she's.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
Not, you know what I mean.

Speaker 10 (22:53):
No, like in the sense of like, oh I can sing,
listen to me sing, guys, and everybody makes fun of her,
Like then I'm being a bad parent, right, Like I'm
not doing.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Her any good with that in my.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Opinion, So I feel like re routing. Maybe it's like
lean into her strengths whatever those are.

Speaker 7 (23:05):
Going to be.

Speaker 10 (23:07):
My kid of kind of has attitude already. She's only one,
so she might fight me. Imagine I birth myself. I
birth myself.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, my sister and said to a lot of people,
and I'm sorry, Hobby, I love you deeply, Paulina, but
two of you, oh, I say, with my brother in law.
I love my sister, but three of them, Oh my god.
I can only hope that name is like a complete
and little opposite, like a pothead. And honestly, because Paulie

(23:41):
is going to be a princess, a man is kind
of a princess. I think, you know, Alla needs the
other end of the spectrum. Like so I'm going to
listen to death metal with and smoke a joint as
early as possible. I don't know if it's nice thing
to say, Hey, Jessica, good morning, Jessica, how are you him?
Good morning? May Okay, so let's get to the realize, Like, okay,

(24:02):
so your parents told you, oh, you're gonna be great
in life, and you believed it. Well, that's a good
thing if you're a parent, even convince your kids of
that now. But there were a whole series of lives
that we were told growing up. There were simply a
matter of convenience. For example, Jessica, my parents.

Speaker 12 (24:17):
Told me that if we turned on the lights in
the backseat of the car that we would go to jail.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
The immediately saying yes, yes, I would the same thing. Now,
we weren't told we when you were jail Jessica, But
we were told that it was against the law. It's
something about it. I don't know why if you turn
the dome lights on in the car while you were
driving at night, that that was against the law. I
honestly believed you weren't allowed to do that until not
that long ago.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
It made me wonder why they existed. If it's against
the law, why do they exist?

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, I agree, I agree. Now, if you ever tried
to drive with the dome lights on at night, it
does change the visibility a little bit. But like, it's
not against the law. But I think it was mainly
because as a kid, when you figured out that light
was there, you were just turning it on and and
it was probably really annoying. So that was the reason why.
But it turns out, Jessica, you won't go to jail
for that.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Yeah, well now I know.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Now I have my own kids that sent me to jail. Yale,
you tell them the same thing, I assume ye. So yeah, Jessica,
thank you, thanks for listening. Have a great day. Good
glad you call? Uh heina call, good morning, Hi, good morning,
good how are you guys?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Now?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Is this your parents lied to you about this?

Speaker 13 (25:30):
Yeah. So my parents lied to me for years to
tell me that I was allergic to dogs and cats
because they did not want the responsibility of taking care
of them. And as I got older in grammar school
and was around like friends' houses and animals, and I
was like, something seems a little suspicious.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
And then I got a dog in my twenties and
found out I wasn't allergic. So yeah, I had to
call them out. Yeah, they told you had a health condition. Yeah,
I guess.

Speaker 13 (26:04):
Now I have a dog who's thirteen and my mom's
obsessed with him, so it's kind of it's kind of funny.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Take the dog over there, just rub it all over
your face and be like, hey, look see. Oh yeah,
I still call her out all the time. Thank you, Nicole,
have a good day you too. I remember a lot
of years ago I had a friend speaking of the
pet thing and the lies you tell your kids. They
got like a fish at a pet store or whatever,
or I don't even think it was a fancy fish.
It was just a fish. Maybe it was a carnival

(26:33):
or something. I don't know. It was a little tank,
and I don't think there was a lot of investment
made in preserving the fish, Like I don't think they
went and got their proper tank and the aeration, and
I think it was kind of just like, okay, look
it was in a bowl. It died and the kid
and their kid was young, and so they went to
the store and they got another fish that looked just
like it and dump that in there. Because they just

(26:54):
weren't They weren't in the mood, nor were they ready
to have to explain to their child what what happened
and that you know, fish go to heaven. Sometimes they
just wanted the mood to have to do this, so
they just kept replacing the fish until finally the kid
was no longer interested in the fish, and then the
fish is kind of I don't know, was given away
or something, but I remember I was like, no, you
can't use this as a teachable moment like it you know,

(27:15):
we're gonna lie. I mean, how long are we gonna
keep this this not fish alive, not the same fish
alive before we actually may like seventeen eighteen twenty, I mean,
how long you have to be before we actually explained like, yeah, fish,
I'll live forever. And it's sad, but you know, this
is life. And this is what happens. I don't know
when you teach your kid about that. That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
I wouldn't just replace that fish because it was kind
of traumatizing once you figure out what happens after the
fish died.

Speaker 3 (27:40):
I will never forget that watching this Spin Spin and
on the TOL.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah. I never had to take a disposal of the
dead animals. That was my dad's job. Poor guy. That
is that. That continues to be his job. He has
to do all the all the hard stuff in the family.
I'm not doing it. I refuse. Hey, Samantha, fine, this
is a good one. So this is uh, you lie
to your kid about this?

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah, so I lie to her saying that Chuck E
Cheese has to invite us.

Speaker 8 (28:10):
We can't just go whatever. We heard that.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
No, I've heard that. I've heard that. Don't think you
can pull up on a Chuck E Cheese and walk in.
Absolutely not. That's not how it works. You got to
know somebody. You got to talk to mister Chucky Cheese man,
and then he's got to be like, all right, Samantha's
kids can come this week, but not all the time.

Speaker 10 (28:30):
Yep, I tell her.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Oh, he called me. He said, we can come this weekend.
He's amazing. That is a that's a really good one.
Thank you, Samantha. Have a good day.

Speaker 12 (28:39):
Thank you too.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
I love this. I can't he said, we can go
this week but you better be a good girl, because
you know, right, he gets to decide. He's standing, good morning,
good morning.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, So this is a lie? That is it what
you were told or what you tell your kids that
I was told my whole life by my parents and
my grandpa.

Speaker 12 (29:04):
So my grandpa came here.

Speaker 14 (29:05):
From Croatia when he was twenty years old.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
And every time when you're learning, like when you're in
second grade, learning.

Speaker 11 (29:11):
About immigrants, and you know, Alice, I would everyone would
tell me and my family, oh, Papa swam here from Croatia,
that's how he got here.

Speaker 12 (29:18):
So why would I ever think.

Speaker 14 (29:20):
That my strong Croatian grandfather whatever lie to me. So
it wasn't until I was twenty years old that I
was swimming in the Adriatic Sea with my cousins and.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
I thought, hmmm, I think Papa actually swam And no
one knew that I was still believing. Yeah, no one
knew I was still believing this tale. Yeah, wow, yeah,
no he yeah, he insacted not swim from Croatia, but
that would have been quite a seat exactly. He still
calls himself the Adriatic Sea champ. So there you go.

(29:54):
Let him have it. Have a good morning, Yeah, you
doo appreciate you. Hey's Steve. Cool, Good morning, Steve. You
a lot of your kids about this. What is it?

Speaker 8 (30:07):
Boh? We used to tell them that if they pulled
us a lot, a dot would trap on their tongue.
But oh, you adults could see it. Oh well, they
couldn't lie at each other, but that way we could
catch them when.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
There are I see yeah, rise in the back of
the head. I'm trying to think of some of the
other ones ahead to do with lies. Yeah, right, but
your parents had lie detect their ability. Yeah, well do
you think they still lie to you or no? Oh yeah,
definitely they didn't believe you. Thank you, Steve. Have a
good day. Okay, wait a minute, when Nicole Heinikole, good morning, Hello,

(30:41):
good morning? Uh what does your parents tell you? This
is a lie? Your parents told you? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (30:47):
So, was ever like you need of that going on
or anything?

Speaker 3 (30:50):
And the weather it was like really bad or was raining.

Speaker 14 (30:52):
Like it always forecasted, like rain on my birthdays.

Speaker 8 (30:55):
My dad would always say, Oh.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
They don't worry about it.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
I called the weather man, like the weather's gonna be perfect.
And I seriously thought.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
That the weatherman could control the weather when I was
younger and so sweet. But lo and behold, my dad
just kind of looked at the forecast and like he
knew it was going to be funny later. Yeah, he
didn't call the weather man. He didn't call Chucky Chees.
He didn't call anybody, did he. No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I don't think he did. Nicole, Thank you, have a
good day.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
Thank you too.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Here's some of the other, like more classic ones that
I think we were probably all told at one point
or another, as kids reading in the dark will ruin
your eyes. Not true. According to eye doctors at Harvard.
It might cause a headache because it causes strain, but
I guess it does not actually damage your eyesight, which
I can tell you I was today years old when
I learned that, because I read in dim light all
the time, and I'm convinced that that's why my eyesight's

(31:43):
going if it is, and and I just now learned
that's not true. Wow, knuckle cracking leads to arthritis, It
does not. Apparently, swallowing gums takes seven years to digest.
Apparently it does not. In fact, your parents just didn't
want you to chew that chocolate milk come or just

(32:04):
swallow it. Rather, chocolate milk comes from brown cows. Never
believe that cross eyes crossed eyes will get stuck that way.
They won't. In case you're wondering, swim too soon after
eating and you'll cramp up and drown. The drown part,
no one ever told me that. They did say you
have to wait ninety minutes after chowing down or something

(32:28):
might happen. But according to the American Academy of Pediatrics
the American Red Cross, that is not true. If you
finish swallowing at least before jumping in, then you'll be okay.
The hour weight was just made up completely. Watermelons will
grow in your stomach if you swallow the seeds. Not true.
Sitting too close to the TV will cause eye damage
not true. Apparently, touch a toad you'll get warts. Not true.

(32:51):
I'm trying to think of some I'm skipping over some
of these. I don't it's too early for this, keep
your eyes open when sneezing and they'll fall out. It's terrifying.
What parent was teaching their kid that? That is terrifying.
Oh the family pen's living happily on a farm. Upstir yea. Yeah,
that one goes back to the uh. Sometimes it's just easier.

(33:14):
I guess drinking coffee will start your growth. It won't
the toy the candy story is closed. Eating Carris will
let you see in the dark. Really. Oh and here's
the most classic one. And I grew up in Arizona
where everybody had a pool. If you pee in the pool,
the water will turn blue. The water will turn red.
There's some kind of a chemical in there that will

(33:35):
make it so people can tell if you pee in
the pool or not. That is not true. In fact, Okay, Caitlyn,
it is true.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Hey, wake up.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
You can learn Chinese in less than thirty minutes. Apparently me.
The Fresh Show is on Paulina on our sheet for
the day that we all contribute our ideas to what
is your latest impulse purchase line? Is a woman power
suit for no reason? A woman power suit a latest

(34:13):
supposed to just a power suit could be for a man?
It could be for a woman you win for this
specifically female woman in power suit? Why do we have
a power suit?

Speaker 10 (34:23):
Well, you know, it is Women's History Months. So I
was like, let me treat myself real quick to something new,
because I'm trying to like change my wardrobe around.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
By that, I mean, I don't really know. I'm still like,
you know, a power suit to work.

Speaker 10 (34:35):
I might, you know, make your sense about how you
show up in life, right like, we're gonna turn our
attitude around today for Jason, We're gonna have a great
day and I might be lost.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
A new sponsor of this day? Is bb a new
bibet or whatever it's called. Is that a new sponsor
of this show? And hey, it's white House, black Market
or whatever that place is called.

Speaker 10 (34:57):
I mean, honestly, like if I could be for real
to I bought that because you guys know that I
love Adrian Bylone.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I love her line Lovoot's vote.

Speaker 10 (35:05):
I can't pronounce it, and she for some reason it's
powers And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna
support my girl this month for Women's History Month. And
I bought it's burgundy. Though it is burgundy, I don't
know burgundy. Okay, so you're in a new dressing era
kind of I'm a year postpartum, so I'm trying to like, see,
you know, what's what's my style?

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Wherever am I now? As a mom?

Speaker 1 (35:26):
A hot mom? Right, hot moms? Check in, tap in
love that. I feel like this is when I was,
like when I was eight years old and I carried
a briefcase. I have a palm pilot with no Internet
that I asked for for Christmas? Like, what was I
doing on my palm pilot? You were ahead of time?

(35:51):
Are keeping track of your contact?

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Yeah, for sure. I have a really busy schedule. Yeah,
this is what this is what this sounds like. So
if you would, you know, maybe sometime next week or whatever,
if you'd wear your your woman power suit to work,
we would.

Speaker 8 (36:08):
All love it.

Speaker 10 (36:09):
I absolutely will when you see me walking around with
Fred's old briefcase a and my burgundy power suit.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Just mind your Christmas guess. It's for these people are
to take you seriously. Don't get Jason's got a hat
on a suit around. We all make one professional human.

(36:37):
You've ever been left waiting by the phone, It's the
Fred Show. Hey angela, good morning, welcome to the show.
How are you?

Speaker 12 (36:45):
Oh hey, I'm gay thing.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
How are you? Hey? We're doing okay, it's waiting by
the phone. So what we're trying to figure out is
why you may have been ghosted by this guy that
you met on Hinge. So tell us about Christian that's
his name. You met on Hinge and then what happened.

Speaker 9 (37:00):
Yeah, my friends and I are calling him Christian Gray
by the way, you know, like because he's being so
like hardcore about this really weird. Yeah, like you know,
the fifty Shades is great guy, Christian Gray. Anyway, Okay,
so we met on Hinge and we went out twice,

(37:22):
and during our second date, we were like having a
really good time. We were even planning our third date.
But then he just never called, and it was it
was just really bizarre because we had such a good time,
you know, and then just nothing. So I'm very confused,
very weird.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
So, I mean, we don't often hear about a third
date ghosting. I mean we have, but usually it's you know,
you go out one time and then someone does some
weird and then you never hear from him again. But
in this case, you guys, I mean, thanks are sort
of progressing to the point where you're gonna go out
three times. That's getting I don't know, semi serious. I
mean it means you really like somebody, I guess, so
you would expect to hear from them again. You didn't

(38:03):
hear from him again, and it's bugging you and you
want to know why. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Well, let's call
this guy just a second. We'll see if we can
get Christian on the phone, and you'll be on the
phone too. We'll ask some questions at some point. You're
welcome to jump in after we get you some info.
And the hope here is always that we can straighten
things out and then set you guys up on another
date and pay for that. Sound good, Yeah, that's great.

(38:25):
Let's see what happens next. Part two of Waiting by
the Phone after this song on The Fred Show. Good morning,
It's the Fred Show. Part two of Waiting by the Phone.
Hey Angela, all right, welcome back. Let's call Christian just
to recap you guys met on the dating app Hinge
and you went out twice. On the second date. You
were even planning the third date. So we're looking into

(38:45):
the future here, except after the second date you never
heard from this man again. He never called you, he
never texted, he has it responded to you. He's ghosting
and you want to know why.

Speaker 8 (38:53):
Yeah, it's really weird.

Speaker 9 (38:55):
I would love some clarity.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Okay, well let's call him right now. Good luck, Angela,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Hi is this Christian? Oh yeah, this is see Hey Christian,
good morning. My name is Fred. I'm calling from the
Fred Show, the morning radio show. The whole crew is here,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue. Is it okay if we chat for just
a couple of seconds, you can hang up anytime of course. Cool? Yeah, Well,
thank you, thank you very much. We're calling on behalf

(39:33):
of a woman who reached out to us. Her name
is Angela. Says that you guys met on the dating
app Hinge and he went out a couple of times.
Do you recall this woman?

Speaker 8 (39:41):
Oh yeah, I know her.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Well, okay, so it was okay. She told us that
you guys had met and went out twice, and we're
talking about a third date and then you disappeared? Is
that true? I mean, what are you avoiding her? What happened?
What's your side of the story.

Speaker 8 (39:56):
Yep, basically what happened when it went really well?

Speaker 2 (40:00):
I I.

Speaker 8 (40:01):
Kind of, you know, like from the get knew that
there was something there, something special, and you know, after
a couple of dates, I said, well, you know, I
don't need to look any further. I think I found
a good one. So basically after that second date, you know,
we had a little chat and I said, hey, guess
what you know you mean something, So I'm deleting all
my apps and i'd like you to do the same,

(40:23):
you know, okay, And then at that point she said no,
and I was like, well what does that mean? Then, Like,
so this isn't working because it seems like we're really
hitting it off and we're having a good time. So
either you like me or you don't. And she was like, oh,
I don't feel comfortable leaving all my apps. You know,
it's just two dates. And I'm like, uh, just two
really great dates, So to leave the apps if you

(40:46):
like me, And then you know, she just really hurt me.
So I was just like, Okay, well I don't need
to reach out to her anymore. Her intentions clear.

Speaker 15 (40:54):
Oh this may.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Surprise people, but I don't really have a problem with
what you were attempting to do. I realize that you're
going to get some resistance from some people, but like,
if you like, let me bring I forgot to mention
the angelis here. I want to bring Angela in so
she can tell her side of the story. Here, Angela Christian.
You guys know each other? Is I always forget that
the other person's here on absent minded? But is it

(41:15):
true that you liked him enough for another day but
you were not yet ready to delete the app? Is
that because you still wanted to keep your options open
or was that more? Was that more that you wanted
him to think that.

Speaker 9 (41:28):
I just didn't want to shut the door on any
other possibilities just because it's only been two days. I'm
not saying I don't like him. I do, but I
just think it's a little fast, you know, like we're
not even exclusive yet, and I just I couldn't make

(41:50):
that commitment yet.

Speaker 1 (41:53):
Huh. Okay, Well, I don't know about you guys who
have been on the apps before. I know, Kaylin, you
know you've gone on and off or whatever, But like
it's not easy to get to the point where you're
going on a third date with somebody. And it's also
not necessarily just because someone's hot and you manage with
them and you go out on one day with them,
or that you chat with them, it doesn't mean that
you're gonna have in person chemistry. In fact, it almost

(42:15):
there's no guarantee of that. So I feel like when
all those things come together, it's like, I don't know,
why not just see where this goes? As opposed to
me continuing to invest in you knowing that you're also
going out with that, you're also actively searching for other people.
I mean, I can see where Christian's coming from here.
He's like, I like you a lot, I don't want
to play this game anymore. And then you just said,

(42:35):
well no, I mean, so what is it about him
that you can't pause the apps for a week or
two just to see where things go?

Speaker 8 (42:42):
I hear?

Speaker 15 (42:43):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (42:44):
Honestly?

Speaker 9 (42:44):
I think I'm any of them being honest. I'm just
a little afraid of commitment right now, Like I'm just
not entirely sure I want to be with one person.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
How would you react to Kailin if a guy, after
two admittedly great dates and you're talking about a third
was like hey, can we can we jump off these
apps for a minute see where this goes. How would
you react to that?

Speaker 11 (43:07):
If I'm being honest, I would think it's a little soon,
and I would be a little bit nervous.

Speaker 1 (43:12):
Not saying this about you, but I would be a
little bit nervous.

Speaker 9 (43:15):
I can.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
I mean, that's just my honest answer. I'm sorry, dude,
I don't know. It's a little fast for me. I mean, Christian,
I guess for me, and maybe you're of the same mindset.
But I've been on these things for a long time
and I know what I'm guilty of. I'm guilty of.
I mean, the apps are designed this way. It's like
you meet someone who's great, but yet you're you're drawn
when you're on them, You're in your mind, You're like,
but I'm gonna keep checking them because what if somebody

(43:37):
better comes along? And I think before long you're only
focused on what's new as opposed to what's there, and
so I feel like it's just you're just continually drawn
back to it. And I guess it's hard to feel
like someone's investing in you when you know that they're
also checking that thing a couple times a day to see,
But that's dating. Who's next? You know, it's just dating.

(43:58):
It's a form of dating, right, that's till I'm at
my hosban.

Speaker 10 (44:00):
But I didn't want that, you know, to get off
the apps until I knew we were like official.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, I mean, I look, I see both sides, and
I've done it both ways. But I also think, I
don't know. How hard is it to say? I don't know.
But by the way, another thing that is positive that's
come out of this is that I don't know that Christian,
did you realize that she didn't want to be in
an exclusive relationship because I don't know that that was implied.

Speaker 8 (44:24):
No, she didn't make that at all. I mean, if
you want to be you know, I want to be monogamous.
So that's something I guess we didn't get to cover
in the first two days.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
See, so you're dating with intention to be monogamous. She's
dating with intention to keep her options open. There's nothing
wrong with either one of those things. But that is
not you guys are not on the same page about that. Like,
there are plenty of people in the dating apps that
want to keep They just want to see what's out
there and and then there are people like you that
like they want to be in a relationship, and I
think it sounds like you two are not aligned on
that and that was going to be a problem anyway.

(44:54):
So I guess I don't have a problem with the
conversation because I mean the ghosting maybe, but the conversation, like,
I don't know, he wants one thing, you want someone else,
So it's probably not going to be a match anyway.

Speaker 8 (45:04):
Yeah, I mean I think I purpose who is created, right,
It's like you download the app, find a person, she
can delete the app.

Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah, I don't know. I guess if you if you
really like somebody, it's like I'd love to get I'd
love to like focus on this and not necessarily have
to deal with the riff raft. But hey, look, you
guys are very clearly looking for different things, and so
I guess it's not a match. I'll ask, but Christian,
would you would you give her another shot? Would you
go out with her again?

Speaker 8 (45:31):
I mean, I think the writings on the walls they
say it's it's just not a fit, Like I want
someone who wants to fully commit and try and you know,
be vulnerable, and if you got one fit out the
door the whole time. Then you're not doing that.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
So no, but look, I mean she did, in fairness,
even though she wants to quote unquote keep her options open,
she did wonder about you enough to call us and
do all this. So I mean she obviously likes you. Yeah,
and you never know what happens on the line. That's
why I think it's a little too early to call it.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
But hey, what do I know?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Yeah, So, but no, that's.

Speaker 3 (46:04):
Okay, staying your ground stand on business. That's right, business,
that's right.

Speaker 1 (46:09):
Key, I mean, what about it? Have you ever been
on the dating ams? Kiky No, no, no. If you're
looking to be intentional and be with one person, then
that's your prerogative. She he is, and she's looking right
now to sort of maybe not yet make that distermination
also her prerogative. Neither one of them are wrong. They're
just looking for two different things. And look, if I

(46:29):
want a girlfriend and I meet somebody who's amazing and
stands out well above all the rest, that I might
put more emphasis on trying to make that work. If
if I'm looking for a relationship, and if she is too,
then she might be open to that. But yet, they're
not looking at the same thing.

Speaker 11 (46:45):
So so how I would say that Fred though, is Hey,
just so you know, you could do whatever you want.
I'm really into you, and I'm going to delete my
app and then you let them respond and it's not
like controlling, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
No, I think that makes a lot of sense. I
think that makes a lot of sense. But but I
can see the insecurity of knowing that you've got somebody
great and they're like, no, I want to keep going
on other dates. It's like, well that doesn't Yeah, we're
not building anything then, but that she doesn't want to,
so it's all good. So nobody is really on the wrong,
but it's not going to work out. Guys, thank you
so much for your time. Best of lucks at both
of you appreciate it. It is The Fred Show. Good morning,

(47:19):
thanks for having us on the radio, on the iHeart
app live and anytime search for The Fred Show on demand. So,
how dysfunctional is your family? And well that should be
the topic. We'll leave it there and call now. How
dysfunctional is your family? Eight five five three five call
now and we'll be talking about this for three hours. No,
how does functional does your family have to be for

(47:40):
this to make headlines, and how weird are the holidays
going to be?

Speaker 8 (47:43):
So?

Speaker 1 (47:43):
A guy says that he is suing his brother in
law after a prank in which super glue was poured
into his belly button while he slept. Oh I don't know.

Speaker 3 (47:55):
Oh my god, you're right over there.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
Can I hear this?

Speaker 1 (48:00):
And I know that's kala? So okay.

Speaker 11 (48:02):
It's just like, pranks are so silly until they go
wrong and then you tell someone like that's how I
lost my belly button.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
You know what I mean. It's a fine line. I
just like, what what must be happening, you know, at
the function where you're like, oh, he's asleep. Oh I
know what to do? Thay gorilla glue out?

Speaker 14 (48:20):
You know?

Speaker 1 (48:22):
But this is the headline. Man suing his brother in
law after he filled his belly button with super Oh man,
yeah so. In a viral post that was shared to Reddit,
the guy writes that his wife and her family are
furious after after it's just a ridiculous story. After he

(48:44):
took his brother in law to small claims court, but
feels that he had no choice. He writes, my brother
in law, who was completely sober thought it would be
hilarious to fill my belly button with super glue. At
some point I must have touched it, because when I
woke up, I had glue partially dried in my belly
button and on my finger. We tried to remove it,

(49:06):
but it was stuck. The glue had adhered to my skin,
and when we attempted to peel it off, it caused
tearing around the edges.

Speaker 12 (49:13):
Well.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
The guy explained that his insurance policy comes with one
thousand dollars copay for emergency room visits. He went to
the eeer anyway, and he couldn't remove the glue on
his own, so that's I guess he had to go there.
They used to solve him in an ointment to remove
the glue, and after everything, the medical bill was twenty
two hundred dollars. He then asked his brother in law
to cover the cost, but that guy refused. The husband
writes that his wife is upset her family thinks that

(49:36):
he overreacted. No, I mean, here's the thing. If you're
gonna prank somebody, I mean, come on, I don't think.
I don't think this guy's overreacting at all. If you're
gonna prank somebody and you don't think it out and
that or if the prank goes wrong and there's a
twenty two hundred dollars bill as a result of the prank,
you gotta pay. You did the prank, you gotta pay

(49:58):
the price. Like this dude was his sleep. He know what,
He didn't ask for his belly button to get filled up. Whoa,
you just took it somewhere else. But that's that's you. Hey,
I'm just I'm just telling you the headline. I am
reporting the news. I am a journalist. This man is

(50:20):
suing his brother in law after he filled his belly
button with super glue. Don't you agree? Though there's no
there's no question here, like if you if you do
the prank and there is you know damage. I don't
know if you dye somebody's hair and they can't die
it back or they want to die back and then
they got to go to the salon, or you know,
just you know, an every day prank likes only someone's

(50:42):
belly button that was super glue and they gotta go
to the hospital. You gotta pay for that, right, Yes,
that's official pranking rules. Yeah, Like I don't know why
this is on him. This man was just sleep but
he didn't ask for you know, filled up belly button.
It's like so embarrassing to go to the.

Speaker 11 (50:57):
Er too, like when they ask you what's wrong and
if it's not quote unquote normal, like that's embarrassing.

Speaker 1 (51:03):
Like my brother in law glued my belly button and
I need you guys to get it out.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
I would foul charges, like straight to jail.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
Yeah, that's the thing you have to see when you
go to the yard and they go, so what happened here?
You know like that, so what happened here? And then
it's like you got to explain. I told the story before,
but I have a friend who is a physician and
during medical training he had a rotation in the emergency room.
I guess all doctors do. And he told me the
story because the story was more about empathy than it

(51:33):
was about what happened. But he was like a dude
came in. I feel like every yard doctor has the
same story, which just makes me wonder, like have we
not sent the memo out about not doing this? But
apparently a dude had a glass coke bottle in his
rectum and that right, right, that's what I'm saying and
so and so they needed to know how it got there,

(51:56):
because I guess how it got there might be helpful
into how to get it out. And I think we
all know how it got there. But the dude was
swearing up and down that he slipped and fell on
it and then it lodged its way all the way,
and so he was this my doctor friends telling me,
he's like, I was mad at this guy because it's like,
stop lying to me about how this happened. Like, I

(52:18):
need to know how you got it up there, what
you use, what you did, because then I'm going to
use a similar method, hopefully to reverse it, because if
this thing breaks in there when we're taking it out,
then we have this serious pelvic surgery. Now now we
got to go through the stomach and we got it.
It's a whole big thing, and we don't want to
have to do all that. So just tell me what
what were you doing and what you know, what are

(52:39):
you on and like what really happened here? And the
guy just insisted I slipped and fell on this thing
and it went there. And so as an er doctor,
I just can't imagine the things that you must hear.
But if you guys, I'm sure not quite that. But
if you guys ever had a brank go wrong.

Speaker 11 (52:56):
Yeah, I broke my toe because actually my friend ended
up marrying the dude who did it, which is hysterical.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
But in college, they put a box like.

Speaker 11 (53:04):
In the middle of the street with a cinderblock in
it on Saint Pati's Day, knowing that like drunk people
would kick it. I was the drunk person who tried
to kick the box out of the street and I
broke my toe.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Yeah, and they thought it was hilarious and your parents
probably had to pay the medical bill on that. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (53:21):
I mean I was on my dad's insurance at the
time because it was college. But yeah, like going into
the er, it's embarrassing. And then I was wearing a
boot in college from a prank.

Speaker 1 (53:30):
Because that's the thing is it looks How did this happen?

Speaker 15 (53:32):
Right?

Speaker 1 (53:33):
You got to explain. Well, like I remember I went
to the ear as a kid. I we weren't tall enough.
We put the basketball rim at my friend's house down
as low as it could go, which I think was
like seven feet or eight feet. I can't seven feet maybe,
but we weren't tall enough to dunk that at that
height at that point. So we had the brilliant idea

(53:53):
of jumping off of a bucket to then dunk the ball. Like, okay,
this is great. So it's concrete and cabala hoop. How
are we going to get up there? I know, we'll
jump off a little bucket, So obviously you know what
happens next. The bucket, you know, falls over when I'm
jumping and I land and I won't get into it,
but let's just say my fingernail was involved. No, it
was graphic and it was painful and it was terrible.

(54:16):
And then I have to run home and I'm like
ten years old. I have to tell my parents what
I did, and it's like, you're an idiot, and then
like I don't even know what to do with this.
So we go to the yar and then I have
to tell this guy. You know, my parents are like, well,
how'd you do that? And it's always the dumbest thing,
you know, or like the dude who shreds his hand
cutting an avocado, you know, because he does the knife
thing or whatever. You know, how you can do that

(54:37):
where you can slice the avocado, like in the in
the whatever it is right, and people cut their they
like sever tendons this way on their hand doing that,
and then you got to like imagine having to go
to the r and be like, yeah, I need hand
surgery because I, you know, was trying to make a
smoothie right or something. You know, you just feel stupid.

(54:58):
But yeah, I think, yeah, that's prank rules. I would say,
is you gotta if you are guilty of if you
are the super glue filler up, or then you got
to pay the price? Oh I agree, Okay, good, we're
all on the same page about this. I just wanted
someone to text if someone oh god, if someone dies

(55:19):
in a prank, theydn't have to go to jail. I mean,
I guess that's that's true, right, even if it's a prank. Yes,
if somebody gets that seriously hurt, you gotta go to jail.
So I don't this is mess up. This didn't ask
for that, No, no, did you guys ever took the prank.
It was like a thing in my in college my
freshman year in the dorm is like when people were
asleep if their leg was kind of because we had
bunk beds and we would we would raise or actually

(55:41):
I guess they were like normal beds. One was on
each side of the room, because you know, college dorm
rooms are like rectangular for the most part, at least
ours was. They were long and rectangular. So in order
to save space, you could raise the beds and like
basically put you know, they come in and they would
put like another set of legs on it, so it
was twice as high, so you could put like your
desk underneath it. Essentially it made it a bunk bed,

(56:02):
except with no lower bed. So like if you're a
lot of guys would sleep and like their foot would
hang out or their leg would kind of hang, you know,
because out of the sheet or whatever or the comforter,
and and so that it became this thing for a
few weeks where dudes would take a sharpie and they
would draw on your leg if it was exposed while
you were asleep, and you wouldn't necessarily know this happened.
So if it was like on the back of your leg,

(56:24):
you'd walk around with like whatever they drew on it,
and you were wearing shorts, everybody would see it. Come on,
I walked around an entire day with a gigantic dog
along my cap. I knew exactly what they do on
your life, right, and I didn't know. I walked around
a whole day like this because I don't know. I
don't look. I don't look at the backup what is
it my shin or whatever. I don't look at that

(56:45):
to see if anybody drew on it. So I walked
around this all day. I should have sued. I should
have sued no for twenty two hundred bucks.

Speaker 8 (56:53):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
You guys never had these kind of McLean did you
guys ever had these kind of college shenanigans? Nook and
bring me at home.

Speaker 4 (57:02):
My brother used to do a lot of pranks, but
it was just like he was just mischievous. He was
just doing dumb stuff like he would take a can
of oil sheine or like hairspray and make a fire
torch just like run walk past you and just light
this big fire and then like laugh and run off.
He used to pop out of closets and like scare everybody,
like it was just good. Yeah, So those kind of pranks,
but nothing that would have ended in jail because get it, Yeah,

(57:25):
why do people bring people?

Speaker 8 (57:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (57:27):
I still prank my boyfriend all the time.

Speaker 11 (57:33):
So he was in our bedroom the other night and
he was like half asleep, and I snuck out on
the balcony through the other door, and I just like
pounded really fast and scared him. I jump out and
scare him when he comes home. It's funny, I know,
but it's fun.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
I think he went to pick up your dry cleaning
and then here you are, just jumping out. I think
was packing your bags and doing your laundry.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
Oh my god, no, I'm so mad at him.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
He's banned from doing my laundry. Oh no, can stop
doing your girls laundry?

Speaker 8 (58:04):
Please?

Speaker 1 (58:04):
I agree with that. It's really upsetting. Okay, well, I've
never done my girlfriend's laundry. I don't have one. But
if I have, maybe that's part of the reason I've
never done it because I don't have one. But if
I did have one, I'm not doing the laundry. Underwear,
please one. I don't want to see what I don't.
I don't need to know, like you don't need to
be looking at my underwear, and I don't need to
be looking at yours. But the other thing, more importantly,
I don't know. I don't know why you're so passionate

(58:26):
about that. But I'm really passionate about this. But the
second thing is I'd be afraid to mess something up,
like like what if what if I, like wash your
braw and I'm not supposed to, Or what if I
wash your underwearing correctly and then I write and then
I dry it correct and those little chony is worth
twenty five dollars and I messed up a bunch of them.
Because my all of our stuff, you know, and Jason
can attest to this, all of our stuff is just

(58:46):
literally you can just put it all in, all of
it at one time. Yeah, A small colors, all fabrics cold.

Speaker 6 (58:54):
I separate the bottoms from the tops. That's separated, ye
I do?

Speaker 1 (58:59):
What does that happen? I'm I don't know, but why
do you do that? I don't know because I can't
put the bottoms in with the tops and it's too much.
So I'm like, okay, how do I separate this?

Speaker 6 (59:08):
In my head, the bottom's going once and the top's
going on and then the whites.

Speaker 3 (59:14):
What the hell?

Speaker 1 (59:15):
I don't even do that, you guys, I know this
is going to make a lot of people shiver. I
don't even separate the white. Oh my god, I'm going well,
sometimes it depends, but but like every day just sort
of whatever. Nah, everything goes in on cold and most
things get dried, and I know that bothers a lot
of people. Yeah, I dry everything and every single thing. Yeah,

(59:37):
where am I gonna hang clothes you for? So you
have a house, a home where I haven't gonna clothes line. Well, now,
as we learned, Mike the mechanic has a home, and
Jason will not be able to live it happens to Mike,
So he should get used to efficiency because that's probably
what he's going to need, you know exactly. Wait. Wait,

(01:00:09):
I'm just missing the guy who breaks every voice of
men song down. And yeah, hey baby, I'm sorry. Please
forgive me for all the wrong if done. And then
you gotta go.

Speaker 3 (01:00:18):
Please forgive me, Please forgive him.

Speaker 1 (01:00:19):
Come back home. I love you. I didn't mean to
get with her, baby. I didn't know she was an
Instagram model.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Oh, I didn't know she was.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Fred's show. Is I tell you about my server? And
I hopped on I think it was Saturday morning at
four am. At at three am, I don't even know
what I was doing out a three am. Yeah, wait, wait,
I need the story of what you would do, the
story telling. Let's go. Well, I was, I was, I
was back home in Arizona, and I was Trevor and

(01:00:50):
Chris the Animal, you know, the three of us stay together,
the Crazy we call you, the little little Asian man,
the Crazy, and whichever's been on the show before. And
we went out for whatever reason, like old times, and
went to a bunch of places, and then we and
my friend Trevor's not drinking, so he was driving, and
so we were out late and then we go to
He's like, I'm hungry. So we go to I Hoop
at like three in the morning, and our our server,

(01:01:12):
very nice woman, says that she just arrived from another
state where she just got out of prison, basically, And
of course I had to ask because I may have
been inebriated, and I mean, how come on, somebody says you,
I just got out of prison. I mean, you gotta
ask the question. And apparently I don't know, just you
talking about Kim Kardashian in prison reform, I guess just
made me think of this. But she she she admitted

(01:01:34):
that she was on a work release program where she
would go to prison at night or jail and leave
and then go to work and then go back to
jail at night. And she said she wanted to bring
some drugs in for her friends one night. You know,
she just wanted her friends to have some drugs and wow,
And so she snuck drugs back into jail. I think
she was on a drug charge as it is. Stop.

(01:01:56):
So she she went for work release, came back with
some party fame, they found them, and she didn't leave
for four years after that. So you know, yeah, that's
a sulony right to bring that into a prison. Oh yeah,
you know you're not supposed to do that, right, Yeah,
And she already had a drug charge that was probably
not good. So so we did call Kim Kardashian and

(01:02:17):
see if she can investigate this. You know, this is
concerning to me. She was a good That's what I
said to him. That's exactly what we said to her,
were like, you know what, you are an excellent friend.
You know, you know somebody you were thinking of other
people there anyway, and that what a sacrifice your life

(01:02:38):
trying to give your girls the party we were into
a little party night. You know, I love that Wet'll
sleepover order a fresh show. It's Kiki's Court, Judge. Kiki
is here, the honorable judge. Kiki. All rise, judge, if
you would.

Speaker 3 (01:02:53):
All right, let's step into the courtroom. It says Heiki Key.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
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
fast forward months later, I see photos from her bachelorette

(01:03:18):
vacation on social media.

Speaker 3 (01:03:20):
That is how I learned that I am not in
her wedding.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
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 (01:03:33):
Well that might be one reason. 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 have said, it's so surprising that somebody would have
a differing political opinion and then eliminate you from their lives.
That's crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:03:51):
Yeah, she says, she did send me an invitation to
the wedding, and I've decided to decline the invite.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
What do you think should I still attend? So she's
mad because she's not in the wedding party.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
Yes, but.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
She was invited to the wedding.

Speaker 4 (01:04:08):
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 (01:04:21):
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 4 (01:04:41):
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 that idle showers, all these things. And

(01:05:01):
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

(01:05:22):
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.
So you did what you felt was right, and I
mean cause, yeah, it feels bad to see your friends
on you know, vacation without you and.

Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
You're like, oh my god, that was my maid of honor.
She didn't even include me.

Speaker 4 (01:05:41):
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 in my opinion.

Speaker 11 (01:05:48):
Yeah, and like unless, I mean, there's people whose 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 about on the wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:06:01):
But if you are not okay with.

Speaker 11 (01:06:02):
The friendship ending, then you need to go to the
wedding and you need to swallow it and just keep
it moving.

Speaker 8 (01:06:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:08):
By the way, Kaylen's still looking for this woman with
the Venmo request. You guys she paid me. Oh nice,
you finally got your sixty five dollars. I had to
go to.

Speaker 11 (01:06:18):
Someone else to ask for help, who then made a
group chat who then she didn't answer for days, But
we finally.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Got our sixs. So maybe this woman is being done
a favor by not having to go to all this.
I don't know how you. I feel like you got
to find a place you're made of honor, of 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, I don't eat

(01:06:45):
five five. You guys are the jury. I mean, how
would you feel about that? How would you feel if
you made someone you're made of honor or you're your
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. This is your group of

(01:07:06):
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. No idea, no idea why they
shows 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 to like Prague or somebody

(01:07:28):
like some someplace insane like us, a bunch of doctors
and lawyers and then imediate radio personality. I'm like, we
got grown up money, we can go 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, so I didn't deserve

(01:07:51):
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 there wasn't in the wedding, but it still
would have been fun for me to have been included, right,

(01:08:13):
So he did that for me. So I don't know
if it's 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 gonna be in
the wedding, but you can't come to the bachelorette party.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
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.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
And I'm not a part of the writer party. That's
an absolute no for me.

Speaker 4 (01:08:36):
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 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

(01:09:00):
object to this union?

Speaker 2 (01:09:01):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
I do, you know, but I would still be there
for my friend.

Speaker 4 (01:09:05):
I just think we can't just assume that people are
going to hold us at the same type of standard
we hold them in our lives all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:09:13):
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

(01:09:33):
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 what yeah, right, 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 enough

(01:09:55):
at this point in my you know, early mid forties
or whatever, that I there's 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, Wow,
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 not include anyone.

(01:10:19):
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. Yeah,
I can't picture you either way.

Speaker 10 (01:10:27):
Like having a whole circus wedding, I really don't with
like caters and this and that and the tucks, fittings
and like having a whole you know, bachelor whatever part.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
I can't picture that. I picture because you're so low key.

Speaker 10 (01:10:38):
Too that I feel like you would just be like, hey,
we're doing this next Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:10:41):
You guys want to come, Like That's how I see it.
And because 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 not I don't know, I don't I mean,
I'm either gonna have to invite a thousand people or nobody.

(01:11:02):
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 in different categories,
and I think there'll be a lot of 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

(01:11:24):
of different people who mean something to you, and and
this is the kind of messy stuff that happens. Hey, Marissa,
good morning, welcome to the show. How are you.

Speaker 8 (01:11:32):
Thank you, I'm good.

Speaker 11 (01:11:33):
I love you.

Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
Guys, thank you, We love you too. So Kiki's Court,
basically it's it's a woman who was is getting married
and and how do I explain this best?

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
She's left out of the bridal party by her best
friend because she doesn't like her husband, and this woman.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
Was also her maid of honor, So like there's kind
of like you would think there would be a reciprocation
thing going on here.

Speaker 12 (01:11:56):
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 Key said, Like if that's what.

Speaker 14 (01:12:08):
She decided, that's what she decided.

Speaker 12 (01:12:10):
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 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,

(01:12:33):
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 or a
part of the wedding.

Speaker 4 (01:12:42):
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.

Speaker 12 (01:12:48):
Exactly right, 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
can have that common versation. 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

(01:13:09):
included in the first place, but I still wanted to
be there for you and just revolve it through communication
and I.

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
Well, therefore you at the divorce, Oh well right, maybe
is it Marisa or Marissa did I say, right, Marissa, Marissa, so,
and 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 even? And like, let's say that

(01:13:36):
I 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 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.

(01:13:57):
So I had to draw the line somewhere, I guess, I.

Speaker 12 (01:14:00):
Mean 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

(01:14:21):
five 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 your
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

(01:14:43):
love you, 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 with not having you. But again,
that comes down to the communication that the bride should
have called her quote unquote best friend to tell her that. Yeah,
so the fact that you didn't, I think there's something
that had to have happened because you don't just randomly
not include your best friend.

Speaker 1 (01:15:04):
Right this this is friendship ending stuff right here. But
thank you, Marissa, have a good day.

Speaker 8 (01:15:09):
Thanks you too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
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. Hey, Raquel, Yeah, sorry, how are you doing? Hey,
Raquel welcome. What do you think he Key scored.

Speaker 14 (01:15:29):
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.

(01:15:50):
So then you expect me to go to the wedding. No,
I don't think she should have to go to the
wedding at all, and she shouldn't send a gift either.

Speaker 1 (01:15:58):
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.
Knna correct.

Speaker 14 (01:16:16):
So had you had the conversation and said, hey.

Speaker 3 (01:16:19):
You know, Brad, my fiance does not want you in the.

Speaker 14 (01:16:22):
Wedding because of whatever the political fight was, I'm sorry
I have to ascend the invitation to include you in
the wedding, but I still want.

Speaker 2 (01:16:30):
You to come then you go to the wedding.

Speaker 14 (01:16:33):
But the lack of conversation for someone who's allegedly a
best friend, No, I'm sorry you won't go to the wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:16:41):
I'll tell you what. Brad and his damn tesla driving
around it's always cause a problem, aime A, Right, thank you,
bye bye. 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 you doing? Good morning?

Speaker 5 (01:16:58):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
Hey Kiki's court? What say you?

Speaker 8 (01:17:03):
I definitely think that that has become a one way friendship.
That girl is not her front no more.

Speaker 1 (01:17:10):
She didn't even have the decency to talk to her
about it.

Speaker 8 (01:17:13):
And me personally, if it was me, if that person
was that important to me.

Speaker 7 (01:17:17):
I'd be telling my fiance, Yeah, she's gonna be in
my wedding and you're just gonna have to deal with it.

Speaker 8 (01:17:21):
If she's that good of a friend.

Speaker 1 (01:17:23):
Yeah, that is a wild thing. Is for a fight
between them to trump no pun intended, but to certain
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

(01:17:46):
that's that's crazy a little bit. Well, it's definitely I
think that the girl should not go because me, I'm Patty.
I wouldn't be able to hold it in.

Speaker 8 (01:17:55):
I'd probably mess up her weddings with my comments.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
So yeah, there was a way to handle it, and
the way this is, this wasn't it. Thank you Sarah.
You 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 15 (01:18:13):
Hey, good morning guys. I'm one of the thirteen.

Speaker 1 (01:18:17):
Thank you, love you for that.

Speaker 15 (01:18:20):
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 (01:18:30):
Oh my god, wow, that's awful.

Speaker 15 (01:18:34):
Is she thought that I couldn't afford it to 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 (01:18:53):
That is what it is, man, I'm saying, 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, look,
you know, uh, like Lee's got to be there, so
we'll make it work. And then, because you know, people
go through hard times and whatever and whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:19:13):
It was who I was dating.

Speaker 15 (01:19:15):
It was who I was dating at the time, to
be honest.

Speaker 8 (01:19:20):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he sucked me dry.

Speaker 1 (01:19:23):
So he's gone. Alright, I'm sorry to hear that, but
I'm glad things. You guys are still friends, right, yes, yes, absolutely, well,
good have a good daily.

Speaker 14 (01:19:33):
Yeah you guys as well.

Speaker 1 (01:19:34):
I love you guys, take care, love you too. Yeah.
We had a buddy, a college buddy, uh, and he
was in dental school and didn't have any money, and
so it was like literally had he was scraping by
just to get through dental school. And our other buddy
got married and so it was like, look, he's not
going to be able to go because he didn't have
any money. And then it was a destination wedding. I

(01:19:57):
think it was Kankun. It was expensive, and you know,
AND's been through this one hundred times. At least it
was Cancun and that you know, uh sal Polo, Brazil
or wherever they help you 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 he really couldn't afford it.
So we all show up to this thing and we

(01:20:18):
all meet the lobby, check in, and we're all having
a nice time. And this this guy 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, you're

(01:20:39):
in the presidential suite. That's our room. He said it
wasn't 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 sent a mething, you would have had this palace
all week and it would have amazing. Fread's fun fact.

Speaker 3 (01:21:04):
Fred learn so much.

Speaker 1 (01:21:14):
Guys. Did you know that sweat itself does not smell bad?
Sweat itself, the actual little beads, that's not what smells bad. Boh,
I'm not even brow bro hidrosis amidrosis, I'm a physician. Obviously,

(01:21:36):
he's actually caused by bacteria breaking down the protein in
sweat and turning it into certain unpleasant acids. You can shower,
but it's not the sweat itself. It's the sweat eating
the skins bacteria that makes you smell bad. Okay, you
didn't know, well, I you sweat never mind right, More
