Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Someone has a voodoo doll of me and they're poking it.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Okay, I'll stop. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Oh yeah, okay, I think I've been poking it for years.
I didn't think this thing worked.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
But finally working, I'm true out of context.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
That's going to be something. I've been poking it for
years and I didn't think this thing works.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Say that, please.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Fred's show is on. How much?

Speaker 3 (00:28):
How much is it worth? Would it be worth to
you for one day of peace and quiet?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Paulina?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Like money wise?

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Right?

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Currency?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Forty dollars USD.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, we appreciate it. We could not work in Canadian dollars.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'd have to figure out the exchange, you know, right,
great one point it's better for us.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
No, yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
I got less in Canada the other way.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's the other way. I was just there the other
way around one point four.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
You're over there, correct, But when you bring it here, I.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Think Canadian dollars. Yes, Why are you dropping in Canadian aology?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
That is.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
You?

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Well, they're a lot tougher when you do it that way,
so yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, don't worry about it.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Why are we moving money to Canada's I told you
don't move it that way. Okay, that's not a good
way to do it. Our money is worth more than
their money right now, girl, Okay. And the way that
they're retaliating is by sending smoke right into our faces.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Girl.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Kay, Christopher, there is a correct way, according to etiquette experts,
to eat a banana. This is a completely random thing,
but I actually saw this video, and I've seen this
guy's videos before and I thought it was a parody.
But he is very much for real. He is a

(01:47):
British guy, and he teaches us all the etiquette that
we did not know. In a recent viral video, there's
a a British etiquette expert. His name is William Hansson,
and he demonstrated what he claims to be the correct
way to eat a banana, and that is with a
knife and a fork. If I gave you a banana

(02:09):
and you used a knife and a fork, I would
take the banana away.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
From you and throw it away, and then I.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Would erase your phone number and unfriend you and unfollow
you everywhere, and I would pretend that I had never
met you before my life, and we would never speak again.
This guy meticulously cuts off the ends slices down the
peel and then eats the banana from a plate, slating
his approach as more civilized than peeling it by hand,

(02:37):
quote unquote like a primate. So the video has over
two hundred thousand views, and of course as soon as
I see it this, I go right to the comments.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, that's that's.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Really where the gold lives in most of these videos
is sometimes I just can't even wait to get to
the comments. I can't even watch the whole video before
I get to the comments. And this person, one person said,
what kind of lazy, no good servants do you have
working for you in that big mansion that don't even
know that you're supposed to peel your banana before you
serve it to someone?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Preposterous.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
He also did a tutorial in The Proper Way to
Eat Grapes, recommending the use of scissors to cut smaller
bunches for plating. What would you do if you saw
someone eating a banana with a knife and fork? What
other pizza is or a pizza is one? By the way,
but I was gonna say, what other food is unacceptable
to eat with a knife, like a pizza with a

(03:29):
knife and fork unless you're eating Chicago deep dish pizza
that's really hot and like steamy, and because once it
kind of congeals, you can pick that up. Like if
you slice it and like once it all kind of
forms into one thing, then you could. But otherwise I
can see a knife in a fork situation. Otherwise, is
there any should you ever be using a knife and
a fork for pizza? Should you ever be using a

(03:50):
knife and fork for fruit?

Speaker 5 (03:52):
No?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Maybe berries if you're in a restaurant, Maybe so that
you're not grabbing it with your hands.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
I mean, are there any other etiquete rules that you
guys were surprised to know?

Speaker 6 (04:06):
Let me think about I understand why I can't eat
my pizza with a ford.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Why do you need to eat a pizza with a fork?

Speaker 6 (04:11):
Because sometimes it gets messy, it may be greasy, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I like to cut every now and then pick it up.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
I block my pizza and everyone makes fun of me
for that. Oh, I get in the grease sauce just
a little bit. I mean, lord knows, I'm not getting
it all off, but I sometimes when it's really wet,
I'm like, I don't really want all that.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
I just feel like I feel cute when I use
a knife and a fork.

Speaker 8 (04:32):
I have to eat boneless wings with a knife and
a fork. Ooh, I do people do. I wouldn't if
I had. If I had to eat that, I won't
eat that. So I do the wings with bones, I
do know. Yeah, but if I had to, like, I
don't think I would, I would use my hands.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Do you use a knife refer yes, boneless wings?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, I use a fork if there's soper saucy than
I would. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, I guess because I don't. I don't need to
pick it up because there's no bone. I've seen people
use a knife and a fork for ribs, and I've
seen people use a knife and for chicken wings and
there's not that much meat. Okay, so like I'm sorry,
I'm picking it up now. Then again, I don't know.
I mean, I guess if you hear like a fancy
fancy is serving ribs, but ribs need to be picked up.

Speaker 8 (05:13):
Yeah, I use a fork sometimes, but I get the
meat off of it with it. Yeah, I just use
it like pick the meat off and then I go in.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
On the bone. And you guys all gotta do both.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Do you have any etiquette rules that Okay, so I've
got one from growing up, and I don't know if
it's a real rule or not, but this is a
rule in my house. My dad instilled this in us.
And my dad came along when I was like eight nine.
The guy raised and adopted me, so I was old
enough to be like have to adjust to this rule.
It wasn't like it was ingrained to me as a child.

(05:40):
But he hates it when a waiter or a server,
waitress whatever, takes food away from the table before everyone
is done eating. He will slap their hand, like he
will physically stop them. And it is very difficult at
some restaurants because I guess some restaurants, like the management
or whatever is meticulous about well, if there's an empty plate.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
It needs to go. Yeah, that's true, and so like.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
So what will happen is, especially they're working in teams,
he'll have to do it multiple times because like they'll
come see a plate and they'll go to take it
because that's what they are supposed to do, that's what
they would training. And he doesn't want it because he
feels like it rushes everyone else who's still eating. So like,
if you're a really fast eater, and you're done, and
I take the plate away, and now it's just you
and me and your plate still there.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's like I'm just sitting there looking at you.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, but if I have a plate in front of me,
it's like I'm still eating, You're still eating, so you
don't have to be rush.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
He cannot stand it.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
I can't stand that, Like people will wait for me
if I'm not seated at the table to start eating.
I know it's like a respect thing, but like eat
your food, you know what I mean, Just get started.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
I don't think we all need to wait for everyone
to be seated.

Speaker 3 (06:43):
Oh that's another one. That's another one. If everyone doesn't
have their food.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
Then yeah, yeah, usually i'm last because I'm like doing
stuff for grabbing stuff, and I'd rather not feel like
people are waiting for me.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Just enjoy.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
If you guys, have anything that your parents made you
do that may or may not have been real etiquette,
it's just is ingrained in you. Because yeah, that one.
That one, like to this day, and I've had to
get kind of like comfortable with it because it has
become more commonplace that restaurants want the tables cleared and
so it's like it's by the fourth time somebody comes
to take your plate's.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Like, just take it right. I don't want to argue
with you. I'm I'm tired. I'm tired.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm tired. You're supposed to put your napkin next to
your plate, not on it. I'm going through a list
of these things. You're supposed to shield your lemon when squeezing.
No one does that. No one seems to do that.
But I don't know why that's not obvious. Like if
I've got a lemon and you're sitting next to me,
I know it's going to go everywhere if I just go.
You know that's the noise it makes. I don't know

(07:38):
why that's the noise it comes to mind. I don't
know what what noise is squeezing and lemon make.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
That's why I'm not the satified guy in the show.
You're always supposed to pass food.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
To the right. I didn't know that. I didn't know
that it mattered.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
You're always apparently you're supposed to meeter the speed at
which you eat your food, like you're supposed to eat
slower on purpose, Like even if you're really hungry.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
You're not supposed to just go at it.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I guess because we eat more than we should that way.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
I mean, if I like, like get distracted and take
a minute while I'm eating a meal, I'm like, WHOA,
I am full.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
I just had to wait a second.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
You know, you're.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Supposed to introduce the person of higher status first. So like,
if I'm in a room and I suppose it's like
I don't know the boss and then you guys, and
I'm introducing to people, I'm supposed to introduce the boss
first because he's supposedly of higher status. I say, supposedly
I would consider all of you of higher status to them,

(08:34):
but I apparently no, But I wouldn't do that though.
I would introduce them you guys first, because the people
know you guys.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
They don't know who that person is.

Speaker 3 (08:43):
You know what I'm saying, Like, if we're going to
an event, people want to meet you guys first, so
I would introduce you that you're the ones, you're the stars,
So I would introduce you guys first. Apparently it's bad
etiquette to add your boss on social media.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
What Yeah, I don't like that our old boss that
isn't here any more.

Speaker 7 (09:00):
He kept following me, and I kept removing him from
my followers list my Instagram.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Because I just don't need, like that's just gonna cause me.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Are we talking about the guy who only followed you
and no one else on the show?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
No, no, no no, I let him follow me. But there
was a guy, a guy in this office that used
to be here that I.

Speaker 7 (09:16):
Just I just saw nothing good can come from this,
So I kept removing him from my followers.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Why, like, why are you watching? Yeah outside of work? Yeah,
but our but our boss, you know, our closer boss.
I let him follow me.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
There was one guy that he was a big wig
in the company. He is no longer, which that you know,
like every other person doesn't is no longer.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
That is like.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's a great Yeah, no, it's the only ones left
and I don't know for how much longer. But they
he only followed. He met all of us, and I've
known the guy for like a decade. He does not
follow me on social media. Okay, I literally have known
the guy since he was not a big wig, and
now again he doesn't work here anymore. He we had

(10:00):
a meeting with all of us. We leave the meeting
and by the time, like five minutes later, he's following
Kaylen and only Kaylin and no one else, and I've
said something to him. When I finally said, I said,
I said to the guy, yeah, I go do it. Well, no,
it was just like, can you be a little less
can you be a little more slick next time? You know,

(10:21):
like he obviously wants to see your stuff and only
your stuff, but maybe add the rest of us so
it doesn't look that obvious.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Oh what did he say?

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I was like, dude, I've known you for a decade.
You only followed Kaylen And he was like, I don't
remember what he said, but it's like, oh, I thought
I phoned.

Speaker 6 (10:36):
Yeah, I said, I get it though, I've kind of
liked that with my followers.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
I only want to see pretty stuff.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Well, I can't understand why he would only want to
look at Kaylin and not my ugly ass. But at
the same time, he was like, can you can you
make it? Can you make it a little bit less obvious?

Speaker 6 (10:52):
What?

Speaker 9 (10:52):
It was funny, but you're a creeper that you're a lecturess,
so you only followed pretty people?

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Yeah, Like I only like to see pretty stuff on
my timeline. Ugly people on my timeline like it triggers
and I'm like, oh god, you again, Like why so I'm.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Not you again?

Speaker 9 (11:09):
Yeah, Camera's Entertainment Report and he's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
Brandon Blackstag, Kelly Clarkson's ex husband and Reba McIntyre's former
step son, has died after a very private battle with
cancer at just forty eight years old.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I'm hearing it was like three years of a battle.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
Brandon was married to Kelly from twenty thirteen to twenty
twenty two and shared two children together. He also has
two kids from a previous relationship. He was also Kelly's
manager there for a little while as well. They had
a very messy divorce. But this comes, of course, just
two days after she announced that she was canceling the
remainder of her August residency shows in Vegas to be

(11:46):
there for her kids amid his illness. We now know
it was, you know, much more serious than she let on.
But I feel horrible for her children, So it's a
good thing she's stepping away.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Right now.

Speaker 7 (11:57):
Let's take a very hard right turn over to the
feud between Barstool Sports and singer Zach Bryan over podcaster
Brianna Chicken Fry.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
That is not her legal government name. People always ask
me that it is not.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
Remember, Zach was the one who asked her to sign
that fourteen million dollar NDA to not speak about their relationship.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
She didn't sign it.

Speaker 7 (12:16):
She spoke a little bit about it that made him
very mad. They've been beefing ever since, kind of online,
with him most recently setting the Barstool flag on fire
on his Instagram story, which is that's a lot.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
That's a lot to do.

Speaker 7 (12:29):
Then, yesterday, on his podcast on Name Show, Barstool Sports
founder Dave Portnoy called it insane how much Zach's new girlfriend,
Samantha Leonard looks like Brianna. He joked that he must
have built a Brianna two point zero in the lab.
He didn't hold back either. He called Zach a psychopath.
I feel dumber for even like telling you all of that. However,
I will say, look up Zach's new girlfriend and Brianna.

(12:52):
I truly sometimes cannot tell which is which which I
It's very interesting when people do that. It's like, Okay,
you just wanted the exact same thing that you had
break before and in theaters this weekend Freakier Freakier Friday.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
That is that is hard to say.

Speaker 7 (13:06):
Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are back for a
sequel of their super loved two thousand and three body
swap comedy Freaky Friday and the og. Of course, mother
and daughter trade places, but in Freakier Friday, they upped
the Annie with a.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Four way body swap, which is how the sentence I ever.

Speaker 7 (13:22):
Thought I'd say, with Anna's daughter and new stepdaughter waking
up in different bodies as well. Chad Michael Murray is
also reprising his role from the last film, but I
think it says Chad Michael Murray. I do think he
dropped the Michael at some point, so I think it's
just Chad Murray. Also in Theater's Weapons with Josh Brolin
and Julia Garner. It's about the chaos that unfolds after
seventeen children from the same classroom all go missing in

(13:45):
the middle of the night for no apparent reason. That's
expected to do well also, and then of course the
other movies that have already been out, those are just
the debuts. If you want to catch up on anything
you miss from our show from today or any day,
take the Fred Show on demand and set us as
a preset if you could on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
What is something that you realize that you do cheap?
I go with cheap install I think the word cheap
is better to me than poor. Yeah, for example, but
my house plastic container and then this is not in
my house, my mom. Plastic containers from almost anywhere tend
to get washed and reused. Oh yeah, on a regular basis,

(14:24):
So you don't have to buy tumperware.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
I wouldn't say that's I wouldn't say that's poor. I
mean maybe, but cheap like it's you You could go
and you get on Amazon if for not very much money,
get yourself a couple of containers, right, No, not in
our house.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
There was a time when when.

Speaker 3 (14:40):
Cups that some might believe should have been thrown away,
disposable cups were being washed and reused. There was a time,
there was a time. Now I would have thought that
it was a kind of solo cup that just sort
of that you had in college. It just kind of
goes away. But no, it was viewed by some in
our home growing up as something that could be washed
and reused. There's nothing wrong with that at all. Can
you guys think of anything that you do and it's

(15:00):
probably from your parents, it's probably from childhood.

Speaker 8 (15:03):
I own a dishwasher, and like most people do in
their home, and I never use it. I never, like ali,
it never comes to me to do it. My body
like rejects turning to put it in the.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Dishwasher because you think it's too expensive to run it
or something.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
I just never used one growing up.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
So I think it's more efficient than washing it yourself.
It is.

Speaker 8 (15:20):
I should be using it, like that's what it's there for.
And I just don't like to load it and then
and maybe I'm a little lazy, but like I like
to load it unloaded all that.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
But also I'm like, no, like put the dishes in
the sink.

Speaker 8 (15:30):
I'm gonna get my little sponge, the sponge that I
have to use until it like fall apart, and I'll
just grub things myself.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I can't use a dishwasher. It's so hard for me.

Speaker 6 (15:38):
Trauma thing. We had one in our house growing up,
but we were not allowed.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
To touch it.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
I know some people use it as like another cabinet, yeah, like,
and some people would seek the storage. Yeah, this is
another place to store pots and pants, but we don't
actually turn it off.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
People do that. You could never use it.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
And it wasn't a money thing in her mind.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
I think it was, but I also think she just
wanted us to do some work around the house because
the one time I did sneak and try to use it,
I use dish detergent and it was bubbles all over
the house. Yes, so ever since that moment, I don't
use my dishwasher either.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's like scared of it. It's weird. But sheep stuff.

Speaker 6 (16:14):
I mean, you just got to take some napkins wherever
I need extra NAPAs where I am for the car,
I do not know.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Yeah, that's why Subway gives you the napkins, and they
don't leave They don't leave it out there for you.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Imagine how much they save.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
I'm sure someone's done the math on this, because everybody
grabs five times more napkins than they need, and most
of the time that stuff winds up in the trash.
But at Subway, no, they give you like a little
You can use your receipt if you want to wipe
your face off. Yep, that's what that's what you got.
And then but then there's not a bunch of wasted napkins.
I think they get ten times more out of their
napkins supply than everybody any other fast food.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Chain does, oh for sure for this reason.

Speaker 3 (16:53):
Okay, so some examples were to use every single drop
from products, squeezing the life out of tooth Here's how
I do that, mainly because I usually don't have a backup,
and I'm a little too lazy to go get one.
But I'll tell you something, when my brain tells me
I need a backup, It's amazing how I can get
two more weeks out of that little thing. Oh, by
just contorting it into different positions.

Speaker 7 (17:15):
Oh, I cut it and stick my toothbrush like literally
every hing.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
What we don't want you doing that.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Nice are tough around here, but they're not that tough.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
No, I need every less job. I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (17:29):
But it goes to show that normally, when I would say, okay,
I need a new toothpaste thing. Maybe I should get
an Amazon or go to Target or whatever. I can
throw this away now, No, two weeks later, I'm still
using it somehow. I mean every I don't know why
I got this thing. I've rolled it one way, I've
rolled it the other. At some point I pushed the
toothpaste container through the I don't know. And it has

(17:49):
nothing to do with frugality. It's because I'm lazy and
I never have a backup. It seems like, I mean,
this is always checking the clearance section of clothing stories.
That's not I don't think that's frugal or cheap. I
think that people looking for a deal. Oh yeah, and
sometimes you go to the clarance aisle and you wind
up spending money that you didn't intend to spend.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, because well it was such a good deal.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Yeah, Target hads and figured out Yeah, keeping leftover screws,
nuts and bolts from furniture kits and old broken appliances.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
M hm, except when do you ever wind up using them?
Very rarely? But it's like, I can't throw this away.
It's still Allen wrench. It gave me an Alan rench.
It's a tool. I can't throw this away. Well, how
many of those do you have to have before? It's
like I have never used this thing twice because everything
comes with the new Alan wrench. Never wasting food again.
This is like this is a list from the internet,

(18:41):
like that people are put together from all of the comments. Okay,
using grocery bags as trash bags.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh yes, oh yeah I do that. Yeah, you have to.

Speaker 7 (18:48):
And I also use them to like pack my shoes,
Like I'll keep plastic bags and then if I pack,
I'll put my shoes in them and I'll use them
over and over again.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Smart checking restaurant prices before looking at the menu. I mean,
well you would like go online and yeah, like so
someone's like, hey, we're going to outback this weekend and
you're like, okay, so you go to the to see
how much you're gonna have to spend.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I've done that before.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
You Usually if there's an accent mark in the restaurant,
orf it's in a different language, and someone invites me,
that's when I will usually go on the internet and
go how much is it gonna send?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
How many money? Signs?

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Right?

Speaker 2 (19:21):
Exact, exactly right exactly.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
If it's like I'm away, I'm on a you know,
some kind of like or if it's called like heads,
you know, or like if it's a one word restaurant,
then I know that some dude who has a James
Beard Award opened the thing up and he's you know,
he's serving mushrooms that taste like oranges or somehow, and
you're like, this is eighty seven dollars. Let me see

(19:44):
here collecting all the complimentary soaps and products at hotels. Well,
that used to be a thing, but now they just
have that little communal thing, which scares me because it's
supposed to be locked in a way that only the
housekeepers can access. But most of the time I can
lift that thing right up, which means you could do
you could some nasty person could just do anything to
this soap. It's gross conditioner. Let me see what else here?

(20:12):
Fixing things yourself. I wish I could fix things myself.
Turning off lights when leaving a room, yes, yeah, walking everywhere,
hand washing ziplock Yeah, this is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Hand washing ziplock bags.

Speaker 10 (20:24):
Mike's mom does this, And when I first saw for
the first time, I was like, what are you doing?
I will use it, wash it, and then leave it
on the disc track like upside down to dry, and
I'm like.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Wow, okay, Like I'm confused about this because some of
this is just being responsible, like walking when you don't
have to uber or or looking for deals on stuff
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
Eating all your food like.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
That, I think most people should be less wasteful, right,
But washing a ziplock bag that's intended to be disposed of,
now that's another level. Yes.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
I was like, wow, that's like Kaylin and the soup pass.
Well yeah, yeah, what about like, um, I do it all.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
My mom has a cabinet in her house that's like
any any wrapping paper or usually it's tissue paper that
was like in a bag.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, so it wasn't ripped or anything.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
There's a little stack of flattened tissue paper and and
gift bags, which I.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Mean, yeah, I do that too.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
So yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Sometimes I'll get the gift back bag that I put
something in all and be like, oh this, I bought this,
so that's cool. I mean, but gift back to ten
bucks or eight bucks or whatever, and I guess cheap.
Maybe they see here licking yogurt tops to maximize value.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Oh let's see, I'm hungry.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah that's because I'm a fat has nothing to do
with it.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, everything clean my plate.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
A bunch of texture.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
I watched plastic baggies and reuse dilute or dilute shampoo
and dish detergent, make my own jams and grow my
own veggies. I only watch free TV, I never eat out,
go to free summer concerts, thrift shop for everything, or
go to the buy nothing groups on Facebook. And this
person will probably die with eight million dollars too. This

(22:08):
is gonna be that librarian that you read about that
was a librarian for fifty years and then graduate or
then dies after retirement and gives eight million dollars to
the college because they did all of this. But then
you have to ask yourself, so you save a ton
of money, what do you do with the money, Because
sometimes it be like for some people, I feel like
the flex is to save the money, but then you die.

(22:29):
I'm not saying this person is gonna die, but you
know what I mean, Like it's balance, right, Like maybe
I maybe I don't wash the baggies sometimes, and maybe
I go out to eat sometimes and I let somebody
else cut my veggies, and then sometimes I eat the
veggies from the yard.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Some do it with airplane miles. Okay, you know.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
That's a different conversation. You want to start something with
me today, No, you're coming from me. A lot of
people agree with me on the airline, moud I just
had a conra Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
So you're gonna die with your airplane mine?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
Right, you're right, I am.

Speaker 3 (23:01):
But I'm not gonna go coach to the Zimbabwe for
a million miles.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
I refuse. That's a whole different time. No, you're done,
You done? Did it now?

Speaker 3 (23:15):
My grandpa tried to rewash paper plates, paper plates.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
My aunt washes aluminum foil.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Oh no, my see, Now this is what I mean, Like,
what would you do in this situation?

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Probably what this woman did.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
If you're gonna go on a date, okay, and you're
gonna drop off your date and you're gonna be upset
about how the date went or about how the date
is ending. I don't recommend that you say anything once
the door is closed in front of your date's house.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Why. Well, because there's such a.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Thing as a ring camera and people are watching and
recording you here.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Listen to this and for dropping me off and stuff?

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Sure? Sure, sure you don't want to come inside the drink?
I'm an excellent bartender. First of all, it's so cringey,
so cringey. You don't want me to come in and drink.
I'm an excellent bartender.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
No, I like, if I had any inclination to do so,
then I just lost my boner but.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
Had a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
No, me too, thanks again for dropping me off and stuff?
Sure sure, sure you don't want me to come inside
for a drink?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
I'm an excellent bartenders some new girl, very nick from
new girl code that have been told.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Tempting, tempting. I'm so kind of tired.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Maybe next time tired.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
Okay, think it's worse. Okay, she clos. He chooses to
just stand there.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Oh oh, and next for paying for dinner, by the way,
by the way, Oh but you can't come inside? Why not?

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Why not?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
Cat side? Because you were nice to be all day?

Speaker 9 (24:57):
You see, he's I got something going on, something.

Speaker 2 (25:02):
Like there's a screw in the ring camera. I mean,
what are you doing?

Speaker 3 (25:09):
Like? First of all, first of all, the game is weak,
and and that's coming from my guy that doesn't have
much game. But I mean, if I'm like dropping you
off and I'm getting all the hands that you don't
want me to come in unless you say to me
like would you like to come in, I'm not gonna
ask you if you're sure, like I'm gonna drop you off,

(25:30):
I'm gonna walk you to the door, and I'm gonna
leave because I'm not I'm not going to beg anyone
let me in their home. Second of all, like he
doesn't even take no for an answer, Like he keeps.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
Going telling him I'm very nick from girl coded good.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
With my hands. It's just so cringey.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
And then and then the whole little little uh you
know routine when she closes the door, and then this
expectation that because you were nice or something that and
because you paid, that you should be invited into someone's home.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
This is why we'd rather be with a bear in
the woods. Do you see that?

Speaker 3 (26:07):
I'm like, we're still we're still of that mindset that
if I pay for a day that I should get
to come in. Like that's still the mindset greatly. That
should be the expectation if I asked you on a date,
as in this case, I'm a dude asking him. It
doesn't even matter, doesn't even matter. We can get into
genial gender roles and all this whatever. My point is,
I if I ask you out, whoever I am to

(26:30):
you romantically, if I ask you out, then I should
be expected to pay. In my opinion, because I extended
the invitation. Yes, that's it. That's that, and I should
have no expectation. Now I realize that that's not that.
There are a lot of people out there who have
that expectation that if they're dumb enough to believe that
somehow they're owed something if they treat you well. Now,

(26:52):
is there anything to the nice guy thing? Is there
anything to the nice guy being too nice versus the
edgy dude be getting some advantages because he's more exciting.
Is there anything to that?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
No, I think being.

Speaker 8 (27:06):
Nice is the bare man a moment, I'm in a
human being, but I think the bar is just so low.
But I do think that the whole edgy bad boy
thing and that it was never like my thing.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Maybe when I was eight with my drug other boyfriend.

Speaker 8 (27:16):
For like an hour that was that was cool, But
I don't know as an adult, like being nice to
be expected, like you said, the expectation, like I'm nice
to you guys, are my coworkers.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I want to I want to be nice everybody.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
I think. I think you're I think you're healed. Yeah,
well that could be. I also think you I think
that's what you're supposed to say. But I do think
there's something to being unavailable for sure and edgy. And
I'm not saying rude or disrespectful, certainly not lecherous or
whatever I mean, but like, I think there's something to

(27:48):
be to being unavailable that that does lend itself to
having people believe they're attracted to you in ways that
they're not.

Speaker 8 (27:57):
Totally Okay, I can see that, or like the nice
guy finish is last, right, So like if you're a pushover,
where I can see that not going well in your
dating life, right, And nobody should be a push over
or be pushed over, But you're right, maybe I am
semi healed, right because like, yeah, I used to go
for like the one thing you are too you're with
a great man.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah yeah, So like I think we're getting they're just
supporting you, and you're thing supporting women.

Speaker 8 (28:18):
I love it, go June, But like, I don't know,
I just think it's like it's like me not like.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Just goes with maturity.

Speaker 10 (28:26):
I feel like when you're immature and young and like,
I don't know, I think you get caught up in
like a chase or trying to make someone like you
that doesn't like you, and then on the converse side,
we're like, oh, I'm gonna make her like me because
I'm going to preturn like I'm not interested. Like it's
an immature way to look at it, but I feel
like at some point you grow out of it. You
have to eat too, or else you're just gonna treat
like crap your entire life, or you're gonna treat people like.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Crap your entire It's hard to know though it's a guy,
it's hard to know who wants what, because like, there
are a time when I've tried to be like the proactive, nice,
patient guy that's, you know, engaging conversation all the time,
and I don't know, doing all the things that are
traditionally good guy stuff, and then that backfires. And then

(29:10):
there are times when I've you know, completely ignored people
or whatever. And then I do think the ignoring I
hate to say this, not for the right reasons, but
the ignoring has a higher probability of working in the
short term than being the nice guy overall over the
course of like if you look to it, like one
hundred different situations, because it's I think psychological, why doesn't

(29:32):
this person like me? How do I get them to
like me, why am I you know what I mean?
Like people I think are for whatever reason, you're praying
on a part of them that it's not good. You
may not wind up with anything long term going about
it that way, like somebody that's unhealthy to begin with.
But yeah, I think if you go out with someone
and it's like huh, it's a whole waiting by the

(29:54):
phone theory, it's like why is this person not calling me?

Speaker 2 (29:57):
And it starts to bug you, and then it's.

Speaker 3 (29:58):
Somehow they have like an they're living run free in
your head, and they have a little bit of an
edge as opposed to the person that you know you
can get. I think the truth is it's true the
other way around.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Two.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
I think that that women who are a little bit
mysterious will have guys chasing them as opposed to the
one who's and this isn't right, probably shouldn't be this way.
But the person who's just straight up hey, I'm here,
I'm available, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (30:21):
It's almost like.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Oh, I don't know, Like why is this Why does
this seem so easy? I see you're saying, but it's
not necessarily easy. It's healthy. People confuse the two things though.

Speaker 8 (30:33):
No, that's fair, Like, maybe there's just it's getting older,
it's healing. Maybe there's just parts to it, because yeah,
if you're talking to me, you know, ten years ago,
I'm sure there's to be a whole different conversation. And
I was probably going for the wrong guys one hundred percent.
I know that I was. I was missed, too available.
I feel like, I, you know, let my guard down alive.
I feel like I let people treat me like crap,
like men that I was dating or seeing or whatever.

(30:55):
But now I'm married. But if I ever was not
not married, first I wouldn't date again. But number two,
were not not married, that would make you married. If
you were not not married, then you're still married. So
you want to be not married in this example.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
In this example, if I was not married, I know
what you.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Mean, but I to stop for a second. I'm like,
wait a minute, I were not not that I am married?
Not right, got it?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Got it?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (31:19):
I just feel like I don't know I would be
a different person in this dating world because I've been
married or been with the same person for five years.
I think today i'd be different. I'm thirty three years
old tomorrow like it's it's gonna be different, Like I
can't keep the same you know what I mean, the
same patterns, like I just wouldn't work with it.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
Hopefully the patterns have been over for some time now.
I hope since you're not not married. More Fresh show next.

I've ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the
Fred Show, Julia, good morning, Welcome to the show. How
are you hi?

Speaker 1 (33:11):
I am hanging in How are you hanging in there?

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Yeah, because you feel like maybe this guy Adam has
ghosted you. So we got to know the whole story
on waiting by the phone. How did you guys meet?
Tell us about any dates that you guys have been
on and why you think you're being ghosted?

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Sure? Yeah, we.

Speaker 11 (33:30):
I mean very classically. We met on hinge, but we
went out and it was one of the best, like
first states I've had in a while where I actually
felt like, Okay, wow, this isn't a no right off
the bat, you know, and it was a lot of fun.

(33:53):
But he's not reaching out. He's not responding to me now,
I you know, I kind of waited for him to
sort of maybe respond first. I didn't hear from.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
Him, so I did decide to sort.

Speaker 11 (34:08):
Of text him. No response at all, no, yeah, no call,
no text. So I'm wondering if I guess he just
didn't feel the same way about how our date went,
which I'm.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
A little surprised by. But yeah, I thought.

Speaker 11 (34:27):
We had a great connection.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
I thought.

Speaker 9 (34:30):
It definitely felt like we were both.

Speaker 11 (34:32):
Excited to be there and that we enjoying each other's
company and that we were enjoying getting to know each other.
And I thought for sure, I mean I left the
date thinking like, Okay, yeah, I'm excited to see him
again and like keep getting to know him and keep
seeing where it could go.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
So I'm confused. I'm really confused.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
You've never been on the dating apps, have you? No?
In all? In like, when you get a fight with
Big Tim, do you ever downleat him just to be yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
I've done that before. Yeah, and literally just looked at
it like I can't do this.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
That's how I look at it every time. I can't
do this.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
But yeah, I get what you mean, Julie when you
say that, like you know you met this person because
I've gone out with a lot of people and none
of them are really bad. But but do you know
the difference when you like sit in front of somebody
and you're like, this is interesting.

Speaker 11 (35:17):
Oh completely, that's complete, And it's not even necessarily like,
oh my god, this is my person. It's it's more
so just like it's feeling of Okay, that went really well,
and I'm really excited to just keep getting to know
this person, like I just want to keep getting to
know them more and see, because that was that felt
different than no, this is a match, you know.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
Right, Well, let's let's play a song. We're gonna come
back in just a second. We're gonna call this guy Adam,
and we're gonna see what's going on with him, like
what you know, Hopefully he felt the same way. Maybe
something's come up, but he wasn't able to call you
back or reach out. Who knows, who knows. Anything is possible,
so hopefully we can fix this. Hey Julie, Hi, all right,
let's call Adam. You guys met on one of the
dating apps and it was hand. You met on Hinge

(36:01):
and you went on a date and you really enjoyed
the date. You really like this guy, you were looking
forward to seeing where things went. But you have not
heard from him since the date and you're confused.

Speaker 11 (36:11):
Yeah, okay, Yeah, I'm hoping I can just get a
little bit of clarity.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
On what happened, and hopefully we can, you know, figure
out what's up and set you guys up on a
date and pay for it.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
So here we go. Good luck, Julie, Julia.

Speaker 5 (36:23):
I keep wanting to call you, Julia, It's okay.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Hello, Hi, is this Adam? Hey, it's Adam. Hey, it's Adam.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Awfully enthusiastic for someone who just pick up the phone
for tourist stranger.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
But I'm Adam. My name is Fred.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
I'm calling from the Fred Show, the Morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now, and I would need your permission
to continue with the call.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Can whiche for just a second, would you mind?

Speaker 5 (36:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (36:55):
I don't mind chatting? What's going on? Well?

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Thank you very much for calling on behalf of a
woman who says she met you on him and her
name is Julia. Do you remember going out with her recently?

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh?

Speaker 12 (37:06):
She was strange.

Speaker 2 (37:08):
She was strange. Why was she strange?

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Because you know, she reached out to us and told
us that you guys have matched and went on a
date and she described it as a really good date
and was hoping to see you again, and for whatever reason,
you're not reaching out to her.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
So what happened? Why was she strange?

Speaker 12 (37:22):
Yes, So here's the thing. It was a it was
a it was a good date up until it was
we had appetizers, had some drinks, and then she.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Asked me for my spur, which was so strange to me.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
Wait wait wait wait wait hold on, I mean that's
I mean, you just sort of laid that out like
it was just like, okay, so you're you're having drinks
and it's fine. And then she what, yes, yes, we
got from the first drink to requesting your specimen, like.

Speaker 12 (37:55):
That's my thing, that's my thing. While I'm not calling
her back because like we're just literally having a first date.
So she asked me a lot of like my medical
history definitely was just asking more about, like you know,
any types of diseases that I've had, and I'm like, whoa,
Like this is like a first date and this is
a lot.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
I was sitting there having just like you know, your
little uh mcgroney or whatever, and it's like here, hey,
so I don't know, like what do your parents look like?
You know, any history of disease, you're illness in the
family or wow, okay, and you're so you're like, where
is this going?

Speaker 12 (38:33):
Yeah, so she's asking me about my family history. She's
asking me like, oh, I want to you know, use
your sperm for incimentation. I'm like, WHOA, Like, this is
a lot for a first date here, So I just
like I had to have to get out of here
as quickly as possible.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
I'm like, I'm not entertaining her anymore. So I'm like,
I'm not calling her about that all.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
I mean, I guess it's a compliment. She thought you
were good looking and had good features. I mean, I'm
not asking Yeah, well, I'm not asking for anyone's uh specimen.
But if I but if I'm a woman and I'm
asking if a woman, if a woman asked me for that,
I guess I would assume that she thought I had
something to offer. But let me bring Julie in because
that's quite that's quite a request of a person that

(39:14):
you just met. And you left that part out when
we asked you how the date, when you forgot to
tell me that you wanted his DNA in a jar?

Speaker 11 (39:21):
Okay, Hey, hiu hi Adam. It's nice to hear from you.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
I'm sorry that that is the.

Speaker 11 (39:31):
You know, reaction that you had to that first of all,
Like I was sort of being playful about it. I
was only half serious.

Speaker 6 (39:40):
I was, you know, I.

Speaker 11 (39:43):
Thought that you would take that as a major compliment, like, look,
the whole that whole process is a crazy thing. It
can be super expensive, and I just sort of I
thought you were really handsome. I was like, you know what,
maybe I want to shoot my shot here because it's
a thing that people will have to think about these days,
especially people in my position. And I was kind of

(40:04):
just playing around with it. But I didn't mean for
you to be so weirded out.

Speaker 12 (40:09):
For about it.

Speaker 3 (40:10):
Dating for this purpose, I mean, are you out here
looking for that.

Speaker 11 (40:14):
I'm not dating to find my husband who's going to
be the father of my children.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
But in the meantime, you'll just take his stuff and
move on.

Speaker 11 (40:21):
I mean, I have to think about that as well.
My age. I don't really want to stay on the radio,
but I'm reaching that point where I have to start
considering that. And I kind of thought he would take
it as a compliment, like he could have just said no,
and that's it.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Yeah, I mean, Adam, I guess it was abrasive. It was.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
It was just sort of shocking, right, and you're a
level of comfort or just.

Speaker 9 (40:45):
The second date right right at magnitude of.

Speaker 3 (40:48):
The request, I mean, yeah, we're still having.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
For DNA.

Speaker 12 (40:58):
Was it was literally a lot.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
It was literally a lot.

Speaker 12 (41:00):
And Julia, you mentioned at the top of the call
it was nice to see or nice to hear from you.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
It's not nice to hear from you that a third day.

Speaker 12 (41:09):
That was very abrasive, and I just I can't get
with it. Like, obviously I do want to build a family,
but like not immediately or talking about that on the
first date. Clearly there's something you need to accomplish just
as a woman, but I just I can't do it
right now on a first date for you to ask
you that.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Oh that was me?

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Well that was yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:27):
Yeah, I mean we were side here, right, We're definitely
we share in our amazement of that request, but we
probably didn't have to slammer to the ground.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
And yeah, Julie, look, I mean it is expensive. I
feel her. I want to freeze my eggs. I get it.

Speaker 3 (41:45):
Yeah, I just think again, you know, we maybe maybe
maybe deserve conversation. Maybe, you know, maybe we hold off
on that a little bit because it sounds a little
I'm not going to say thirsty, but it's just, I mean,
you don't know this person, so it's kind of a
lot to ask, like, Hey, I'm going to create another
human with or without you?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
That that is have you? Is that cool?

Speaker 1 (42:06):
I got it, I got it, I get it. Yeah,
but I have point taken.

Speaker 11 (42:09):
I'm sorry. I was also just trying to be fun
and playful and kind of give him a compliment, and
it just went sour.

Speaker 3 (42:17):
And I'm what if he said, what if he had
said to you, Julia, Yeah, I'll give it to you,
you know, the fun way.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
You know what I'm saying, Like any reaction then would
you have gone for that?

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Probably not on the first day.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
That's too much, that's too much. That would be that
that was too much.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I said, was too much. I'm so sorry, you're creepy.
Yeah no, no, no, that was too much. But take
it to go, you know, take it.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Cal's entertainment report is on The Bread Show.

Speaker 7 (42:54):
Marshall Mathers ak Eminem opens up about years of prescription
philibus from Viking and valume to ambient and xanax from
the late nineties until two thousand and eight in his
new documentary, and in it, he explains, I got into.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
This vicious cycle of underpressed, so I.

Speaker 7 (43:11):
Need more pills than your tolerance gets high, so you
end up overdosing. I woke up in the hospital with
tubes in me and I couldn't get up. The turning
point came when he realized that he had a personal
cost of his addiction. He missed his daughter, Hayley's birthday.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
That's when he vowed he would never do that again,
and he didn't.

Speaker 7 (43:29):
He's maintained his sobriety since April of two thousand and eight,
marking nearly seventeen years of recovery, and credits that moment
as a spark for his transformation. By the way, fun fact,
Elton John is Eminem sponsor. I don't know if a
lot of people know that, and it's like one of
my favorite facts. So I think they're just doing this
weekend for the documentary in certain theaters and then I'm

(43:50):
sure it'll come out after that. Cassie Ventura made her
first social media post since giving birth and testifying against
Diddy in his scheduled trials. She posted a meme of
this dude dancing slowly on our Instagram story about the
ups and downs of postpartum with the caption when your
old self slowly starts coming out of postpartum.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
Little by little lol.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
Remember, she gave birth to her third child, a son,
in late May, shortly after her court testimony when she
shared really disturbing accounts of I have to say, alleged abuse,
but I very much believe her during her relationship with Diddy.
He was later convicted on two counts related to transportation
of prostitution, but acquitted on those sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

(44:32):
He is now waiting his sentence, which I believe is
coming in October. And like I told you yesterday or
was it earlier this morning, you guys, the days are
blending together either way.

Speaker 1 (44:42):
I told you that he says he's going to perform
at Madison Square Garden, so I'd be interested to see.

Speaker 7 (44:47):
I'm going to stand outside and see who's going into
that concert.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
That's all I'm going to say about that.

Speaker 7 (44:52):
Lastly, Selena Gomez said that the best thing that came
out of dating a Jonah's brother was meeting Taylor Swift.
She was on the theah US podcast with Jake Shane
and guess that is the real name. He loves to
eat octopus, so get your head out of the gutter.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
But I love him so much.

Speaker 7 (45:06):
I'm so happy he keeps getting these big interviews. But
Selena spoke about how she and Taylor met and if
you didn't know, back in two thousand and eight, Selena
was dating Nick Jonas and Taylor was dating Joe Jonas,
which is how they first met and sparked that friendship
that I mean, it's lasted for over sixteen years. Selena
has been really open about saying that Taylor is one
of the only friends she has in the industry because

(45:27):
she feels like a lot of people are kind of fake.
And she says that she's also heard some of Taylor's
most iconic songs like love Story before they ever have
gotten released, so it pays to be her bestie.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
But they both say that they are happy.

Speaker 7 (45:40):
That's the best thing that came out of dating those
two brothers. By the way, if you missed any part
of our show from today or any day and you
want to catch up, just type the Fred Show on
demand it's all up there and if you could set
us ooh, I can talk as a preset.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
It really helps. On the Free iHeartRadio, a twenty nine.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Year old female is.

Speaker 3 (46:00):
In Morality Monday in the arena today, she said, I
was supposed to get married last year, but my fiance
and I ended up breaking things off a few months
before the wedding. It was mutual, no drama, just a
realization that we weren't compatible long term. The thing is,
i'd already bought my wedding dress custom made. It cost
me nearly four thousand dollars. I know that's a lot.

(46:20):
I paid for it entirely myself, and it meant a
lot to me. After the breakup, I packed it up
and put it in storage. Haven't been ready to sell
it or do anything with it. It's emotional. And here's
where it gets messy. My younger sister, who is twenty four,
so she's twenty nine. Sister's twenty four, recently got engaged.
We're not super closed, kind of different people, and she's
always been a bit entitled, honestly. She came over a

(46:41):
few weeks ago, saw the dress when we were organizing
my storage closet and asked if she could have it
for her wedding. I kind of laughed and said, oh, no,
that's mine. She had annoyed and said, but you're not
even getting married. You're gonna let the thing sit and
rod in the box. I told her again, no, it's
personal to me, and even though I'm not using it
now giving it away. She asked if she could buy

(47:02):
it at a discount, and I said I wasn't ready
to sell it, and she threw a fit, called me
selfish and said that I was being dramatic over just
a dress. Our mom is now involved and she thinks
I should give it to her as a gesture of
sisterly love and.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
Because it's going to go to waste.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
But I honestly feel like she's only asking because she
doesn't want to pay for one herself, and she's not
exactly struggling financially. So now I have my sister and
my mom acting like I'm heartless and petty for not
handing it over. But it feels like a boundary that
I want to keep her dress. You didn't have to
give a tame by end of story. Next anything else,

(47:39):
I mean, it probably is going to go to waste.
I mean, not that she's never going to get married,
but if she does, will she use that dress?

Speaker 8 (47:46):
Maybe she might or change her mind and pick something else,
but the dress.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
I assume you know she had the vision of the dress.
The dress doesn't dependent on the person that she's marrying.
But when she was having distress fitted and made and everything,
it was with the intensive marrying someone who she's now
not marrying. So is that the dress she's gonna want
to wear when she marries someone else someday? I don't know,
But it's her dress. She paid for it, it's her.
She doesn't have to give it to anyone.

Speaker 8 (48:11):
I could brought in the box all at once, like, no,
you're not entitled to it.

Speaker 6 (48:15):
The sister is a weirdo in my opinion, because out
of all the dresses in America or where or wherever
they reside, you want the dresses in my closet with
my hurt, pain and tears attached to you are weird?

Speaker 3 (48:28):
Why don't you put me in that position exactly like
you know that I intended to wear that dress to
get married to someone, and now it's like, well I
want it, so I should have it. And then for
the mom to get involved and be like, yeah, she's
weird too. Eight three five Jason, I feel like you
would just give it to her. I mean that's because
that's you.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
She's entitled to it.

Speaker 10 (48:49):
But if someone, I mean, if someone wanted anything from me,
I probably would just give it to them.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
So you're.

Speaker 10 (48:54):
But like, yeah, I don't think it's weird that she
feels that she's entitled to a dress like that.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
It's crazy wild when it's her dress, it's her style,
it's her dress design. So if she does get married
some day, maybe she will wear it because the dress
is not necessarily attached to the person. You know, it
was her vision, I mean attached to her, but not
to the person she was marrying. Yeah, right, Like, so
while the memory is there, if she gets married the
next few years and the dress still fits her and looks,

(49:20):
I mean that's you know you have. The way I
understand it is that women typically, you guys, have a
vision for your wedding day that isn't necessarily hinged to
the person that you're marrying. Because you developed this as
like a child, right like, as you grow up and
watch movies and go to other people's weddings and stuff,
you're like, oh, I want to wedd but you don't
even know who you're gonna marry yet. Oftentimes when you

(49:41):
envision what it is that you want. Calyn's had this
this TP forest thing since she met anybody. Yeah, she's
dated several people since she had the TP forrest revelation.

Speaker 2 (49:51):
Why do you have?

Speaker 3 (49:52):
I mean, it's fair, right, I mean I've known you
for almost ten years and you've dated many people, but
you've always had the forest TP wedding revelation.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:00):
I mean, I I don't know if i'd do it anymore.
It feels like a little played out at this point.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
But because you've been speaking too publicly about it, that's
the thing. You've been telling everyone you want the forest
TP wedding, and everyone's doing it.

Speaker 2 (50:11):
It's the reason why you got to keep your dress
locked up that you've already had made.

Speaker 5 (50:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Oh yeah, because you wouldn't wan anyone to see it,
especially your sister.

Speaker 2 (50:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
No, she's not wearing that, you know, because.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
I know you have like a sort of a mixed
concept of whether you want to actually be married or not. Yeah,
So it's like, you know, you got to keep that
for yourself, Okay, let's say you did have a dress
for some reason from another previous relationship, and your sister
came to you and said, I want that it was
custom made for you.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
It is your vision, You're going to give it to her.

Speaker 7 (50:39):
No, I feel like a wedding I mean, there's not
a lot I wouldn't do for her, as you know,
but I feel like a wedding dress is so personal.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
First of all, she's five to nine and I'm like
barely five six, so it would be cropped right on her,
like you know, her ankles would be out.

Speaker 7 (50:56):
But no, I think it's deeply personal, and I would
get very upset with people telling me like how I
need to handle something that I paid for with my
own money, that I made to fit my body, like
it's weirdo energy like Keiki said. So, no, it's a
no for me, dog, But I'll go with you, like
I'll help you.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Yeah, I mean you'll move out of your house for
six months so she can move in and you live
on the street. But as far as the wedding dress
is concerned.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
Actually in my fashion, no, No, I mean.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
It's oldest child syndrome. I let me see this, What
does that mean I'm the oldest child.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
What are they telling me?

Speaker 5 (51:29):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (51:30):
The babies get everything literally and figuratively.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, I could.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
See something like this happening in my house too, But
I wonder what my mom would do.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (51:40):
Fighting over dress, yeah, I mean, I've had a custom
made wedding dress for many years ago.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
I've been thinking about, you know, just whenever that time comes.
I've had this vision, and the vision is not going
to change. It's a beautiful dress.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Weyle would you do?

Speaker 2 (51:52):
Well?

Speaker 11 (51:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (51:54):
Yeah, long train obviously right white if whitest can be,
you know, because that's what I.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Know what you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (52:04):
I've been to many I've been to weddings and people
that I slept with and they were wearing white. Okay,
so okay, okay, they're walking down the aisle.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
I don't know. You're not pure, missy, you can't. But
of course I didn't say that out loud.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
Good.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
I was tempted to. I was tempted to.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
She walked down the aisle with her fiance standing up there,
you know, husband to be, who doesn't know that we
hooked up.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
I know, I know, messed up.

Speaker 2 (52:36):
Wouldn't it.

Speaker 3 (52:37):
Yes, yeah, I don't know. I don't know if in
my family that I would see. My sister gets everything
she wants, uh, for the most part, But I wouldn't
say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess so. But my
mom's not. I think she likes me better. So there's that.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
That's nice.

Speaker 3 (52:51):
But yeah, no, but my is my sister stuff because
it's for the kids. Like everything she's doing, let's be honest,
everything my mom loves my sister. But everything she's doing
these days is leverage to get in with the kids.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
That's what it is.

Speaker 3 (53:06):
And like, the more accents she gets, the more stuff
shows up on my sister's front door, the less action
she gets, the less stuff shows up on my sister's
front door. That's how it works. Lexi, Hi, Hi, how
are you guys? Hey, good morning, So morale Monday and
a Wednesday. Big sister has a custom wedding dress. Little
sister saw it and said, and when big sister's not
getting married anymore, Little sister saw it and said, give

(53:28):
me that, and she said no, And now mom and
little sister are mad about it.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
What do you think.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
I think the mom and sister are in the wrong
because the dress is a personal thing to somebody, like
we just got married, not that long ago. I still
have my dress. I am thinking about doing something with it. So, yeah,
she may not be using it now, but there's a
possibility maybe she wants to. I don't know who knows
what she'll do with it, but it's still her dress.

Speaker 3 (53:52):
Right want you wouldn't she want your own dress too,
Like it's your day, your thing, Go get your own dress,
christ Ip being a weirdo special.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Thing in the world to go and do the dress shopping.
You know, it's it's awesome.

Speaker 2 (54:04):
That's right, Lexi.

Speaker 3 (54:05):
You're only gonna do it maybe two or three times
your whole life, so you know it's right.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
I hope it's only once. Thank you, Lexi. I have
a good day you too.

Speaker 11 (54:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Sophia says two birds, one for the sister, one for
the mom. It's her dress. She paid four grand for it.
Her sister can pound sand another text, Yeah, absolutely not.
I hope she keeps it until she wants to use it.
The audacity of that person is wild. Sounds like her
sister is being dramatic. But I do wonder, like, how
many times have you given your friend or a family

(54:37):
member an idea or said something about something and then
they go do it. It's like, here's my idea for
a dress, I had it made, well, I want that.
I mean, have you ever had that where you gave
you said, oh, I want to name my first daughter Marie,
or I want to name my first dog Spot or whatever,
and then all of a sudden, here comes best friend
with Spot and waite a way one minute, waiting one

(54:58):
I just told you that.

Speaker 1 (55:00):
Yeah, people get really mad about that, and I get it.

Speaker 8 (55:02):
Like I'd be frustrated too if somebody's like, here's my
daughter Gigi after I just said I'm gonna name my
kid Gabrielle RGG.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
But like, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (55:09):
For me, it's like I don't get mad at that
kind of stuff as so much as the normal normal
person does. Like I have a friend who got a
car and like another friend was like, oh I want
that car, and then like the one got the car
or something, the other one got mad and I was
just like, but like, you guys are like two different households,
like same car, respond.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Well, car and a baby.

Speaker 8 (55:24):
I feel like a baby name Hire, but like at
the same time, like, what are the odds of me,
like still communicating with a certain person, like thirty years later,
Like I'm gonna have my daughter forever, but like what
if I'm no longer friends with you know, Jonathan, God forbid?

Speaker 1 (55:35):
Right, we're not friends anymore? He has a daughter named Gigi.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Two Like I always wanted the pet Cruiser and the
probably got it. I'm doing that and now I can't
have a PT Cruiser anymore. I'm so mad.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
I know, well, I didn't stop copying.

Speaker 2 (55:46):
I wanted was a PT Cruise.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
All I wanted was a Mini Cooper and then one
day rowing up in her Mini Cooper and I'm like, great,
now i can't have it. More.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
Friends show next right here, well the city.

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Like I'm at a point in my life where I
don't if there's any chance that leaving the house is
a dangerous activity, if there's any chance that we might
find ourselves banging on the door of a twenty four
hour duncan, it's not open.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
If if we're finding ourselves in a position.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Where the public bathroom is going to be a mandatory experience,
then I probably am not leaving the house.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
That's where I'm at in my life.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
I follow that role I'd never be here.

Speaker 2 (56:25):
Fred show is on. You went to Jerry Springer I
did with your mom my mom for her birthday. What
was the topic of the day or there were there
more than one even remember.

Speaker 10 (56:35):
I remember it was cheating obviously. I just remember like
in the breaks, they would take each of the people
like to those little doors in the back, and like
the producers would be like talking to them. So my
thought is they were like trying to wrap them up
so they would really come back on math or the break,
you know. And then a woman right in front of
us got her Jerry beads. So that was memorable. That's that.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Uh he it was in college. Okay, so that's a great.

Speaker 9 (57:03):
Oh nice to do with mob Bundy. Yeah, go see
Jerry Springer together.

Speaker 6 (57:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (57:09):
We used to watch it like if we were ever
in life, I was ever homesick or whatever, just like
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
We always thought it was funny. So then I took her.
That's so sweet.

Speaker 3 (57:16):
We had topics about it before because the show was
produced in Chicago, so every now and again people will
call up her text who were involved with the show.
But you know, I used to hear that they would
they would like producers. That's what they would do. They
would they would take the opposing parties and put them
in separate rooms and walk in and like be total instigators. Yeah,
you know, hey, I'm not supposed to I'm not supposed
to tell you this, but like I know, I'm not like,

(57:36):
I'm not supposed to say anything.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
But they're over there saying that, you're like a Caitlin's
Entertainment report. He's on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 1 (57:45):
This is the biggest story of the day.

Speaker 7 (57:46):
Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson's ex husband and Reba McIntyre's former
step son, has died after a private three year battle
with cancer at just forty eight years old. Brandon was
married to Kelly from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two,
and they shared two kids together. He also has two
children from a previous marriage.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
He was also Kelly's manager for a little while there
as well, and they had a very messy divorce. As
you probably know.

Speaker 7 (58:13):
This comes just a couple days after Kelly announced that
she was canceling the remainder of her August residency shows
in Vegas to be there for her kids amid his illness.
We did not know how serious it was clearly very serious.
She also had missed a lot of episodes of her
talk show with no explanation, as well as postponing the

(58:35):
beginning of her residency, saying it was vocal issues, but
obviously there was much more going on behind the scenes,
and she just wants to be there for her kiddos
right now, thinking of them, it's so so sad.

Speaker 1 (58:45):
Moving on to hul Hogan and.

Speaker 7 (58:46):
His widow, Sky Daily, who says that just by reports
he's that he is getting cremated, he hasn't yet, and
it's all due to this ongoing family concern about the
circumstances surrounding his death and a need for clarity on
his medical care before honoring his final wishes. Now, Hulk's
daughter has been very vocal about this, Brooke Cogan. She's

(59:06):
one of these family members who's super confused, and she's
offered to personally pay for an independent autopsy so they
can get answers and closure.

Speaker 1 (59:15):
She said that she wants clarity for the sake of her.

Speaker 7 (59:17):
Dad's dignity and legacy, and she's particularly confused after reading
that he was diagnosed at some point with leukemia.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
I know we talked a little.

Speaker 7 (59:26):
Bit about this, but that was a surprise her, as
well as his heart surgery on his medical records, something
she knew nothing about. So they want answers, and so
they're holding off on Hulk's final wishes. And after losing
his specific Palisades home and his mother's to January's deadly wildfires,
reality star Spencer Pratt is taking his fight for answers

(59:47):
to Washington, d C.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Now.

Speaker 7 (59:49):
Spencer specifically blames California Governor Gavin Newsom and La Mayor
Karen Bass for mismanaging relief and fire aid funds.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
He spent three days.

Speaker 7 (59:59):
Actually meeting with federal officials, including the acting United States
Attorney and he says the investigation into the funds is
the real deal, and he vows.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
To hold the leaders accountable.

Speaker 7 (01:00:10):
With multiple lives lost in the fire, Spencer says that
he has nothing to lose, and he says Gavin and
Karen have much to fear amid his push for justice,
and I feel like he is not the only one
who wants answers, you know, in terms of how those
fires were handled. By the way, if you missed any

Did you know, guys, that bananas are radioactive? Bananas are radioactive?
It's absolutely true. Potatoes are two spin it brazil nuts,
oranges and granite countertops.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
What up radioactive? Yes? Why?

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Well, radioactivity is all around us. It's unavoidable. Everything in
the world is composed of elements. If you remember the
periodic table in which in tournamented atoms. So if these
atoms are unstable and decay or break apart, I guess
then they can emit radiation. And this is in quotation marks.
They can take the form of subatomic particles such as electrons,

(01:01:37):
alpha particles, and neurons. Basically, stuff breaks down and become radioactive,
and it can become radioactive in a way that's not
harmful to you. But bananas are radio active.

Speaker 1 (01:01:49):
That's why Jason is allergic.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
That could be why.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):

Right, Yeah, yeah, noise, that's very common allergy. The show
