Speaker 1 (00:00):
Happy holidays. Here's one of our favorite moments of twenty
twenty four. I don't know where I got this. Signs
that you're a flake.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Do you think that you could qualify as being a
flake when it comes to certain things?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Certain things? I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
Yeah, it depends on what you ask.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
I'm sure. So I went down the list.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm thinking, Okay, let me see how many of these
things apply to me, and maybe you should play along
as well. Signs are a flake who people cannot rely on.
Number one, you arrive late to everything.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
I don't do yet, Yeah, you know everything. I mean,
don't you have that?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
And I know we have a mutual friend or two,
but I know we have other people in our own circles,
outside the circle who are late every single time.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Oh yeah, I mean it's just a known fat It's infuriating.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I find it rude. My sister's one of these people,
and her response is that she's optimistic and that is
why she's late to everything.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
They're faster, okay, but she never does right.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Signs you're a flake. Your non committal, like you never
commit to anything. If someone says, hey, can we we're
having a dinner party, you never ever commit You're.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Like m and you wait until.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Sometimes later, well I am too, Yeah, I'll have to
let you know.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Or maybe there's nothing wrong with saying that.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh, I guess I do that.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Hey, have you ever been invited to a dinner or
something and you you really want to ask? Well, who
else is going to be there?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
All the time?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
That's the make or break right there?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I know, but it's it's so obvious, right, it's like,
did you invite? I mean, because they're in this make
or break there are people that they are friends with.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
I don't want to hang out with.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Absolutely, but I do have one person I can ask
that too, and she knows right away. Sometimes even before
I ask, she'll give me the list.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
She'll say, Hey, by the way, is going to be here? Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Ways that you could be considered a flake. You're always
keeping your options open. You know, sometime you feel stressed
about all the options you have at your disposal. You'd
like to leave things to the last minute because you
have that grass is always greener on the other side
syndrome going on. Yeah, I guess that kind of falls
in place with the noncommittal thing totally. You always fall
(02:12):
behind with deadlines. See this is why I never create deadlines.
You know, deadlines, especially in the workplace, in a professional atmosphere,
people say, okay, I need this done. I need it
done by five pm to day. The big thing here
at a iHeart is end of business day. It must
be done by the end of the business day today.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Eh.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, it's a floating timeline, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Can we let them like who's business day in China?
It might still be going.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Ways that you could perceive be perceived as a little flaky.
You're very quick to make promises. Sometimes you don't stop
and think about what you're promising to do, and you
get done.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
How about spontaneity. Sometimes spontaneity makes other people nervous. Look
Spontanady's fun, right, Like oh, let's just let's let let's
just go to their important catch a flight out of here.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Where are we going? I don't care, ye, let's just well.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
It drives other people into an anxiety, a high level
of anxiety, like, well, they have kids, they have to
make plans, they have to do like scary gets mad
and his friends who are married with kids.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Hey, hey man, let's go let's go out and have
dinner tonight. Well I can't.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh man, you always say no, Well, I know they
have to get a babysitter. There's things they gotta do them.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Like ten minutes where he's walking out the door.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
I'm the king of last minute because in my world
I can make those snap decisions and just gohy no.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
But you gotta keep you on it. It's not just
your world when you involve other people.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Right, but does that make me a flake?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Is that a flake? Yes?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
No, you come not a flake, but you come across
as being a little a little much, a little bit.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
You're you're in the same boat.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, you're not easy to trust.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Now what is this? Let me rea.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
It might urge you feelings when people say that they
can't trust you, but it makes sense, especially if you
said you'd be there for them, but then at the
last minut it how about a rain check?
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Can we do this another time? Okay?
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Oh yeah, that's not cool.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You say yes when you really don't want to do things. See,
I'm guilty of that.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
I think we all been there.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You say yes, you're like uh, and then you find
that last minute excuse to get out of it. All right,
I don't know what about you, Like, what's your weakness
that you wish you could or you should focus in
on and try to fix.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Probably the committal thing. I'm really noncommittal about everything in
my life, even you know, when it comes to work,
signing contracts and stuff, I sweat. I'm like, oh, how
many years come on? I don't know what I'm gonna
be doing by then. But I think I should be
a little more committal with things and just say yes
and then be excited about the thing I said yes too,
instead of looking at it like a sentence.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Well, I'm in the committal bandwagon as well, because a
lot of times and you guys know, people ask me, oh,
can you come do this? You want to go to
this party? I'm like no, I don't even think about it.
It's like, nah, I'd rather not and I don't want
to commit to that. And maybe it's the last minute.
If you have room for me, maybe I'll go. That's
not good for you if you're planning out a table
setting or something.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
That's what you foggy.
Speaker 7 (05:06):
Definitely procrastination, Oh god, yes, mine's procrastination. Like for example,
with work, like emails, they pile up and then before
I'm like, you know what, I'll answer that email later.
I'll answer that email later, and then I don't want
to get back to it, and then it's last minute
and I'm trying to burn through them all. I need
to get better about that.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Okay, But the deadline thing, when people give you a deadline,
don't ask me about it until the deadline comes, because
I will wait until that deadline and then drop everything
I need to do at that time, and people get
really stressed. Well, the deadline is tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm like, right, and it's today.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Why are you asking this?
Speaker 3 (05:38):
It's the all mark your assignments or reports? They most
kids wait till the very last minute to get it
done and hands it in like very rare. Do kids
work ahead?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You know I'm an old kid.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Then it really does feel good when you do it
ahead of.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Time and get it done.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I have no idea you have to do? What does
that feeling feel like? Wait, Daniel, what about you?
Speaker 5 (05:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Same thing like just like saying I want to do something,
saying yes, and then leading up to it, humming and
hiring about it. Why did I say yes? I shouldn't
have said yes? And then and then I wind up
going and enjoying myself and having a good time.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
So that was cool.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
My thing with Alex is I'll say, hey, x y Z,
they invited us to their house this tonight for a
dinner party, and he'll go, okay, let's go, and then
he'll get home from herk NA.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
What do you mean? Na?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That means that means that puts me in the middle.
Now I have to call them and come up with
an excuse. Nay what Yeah, scary.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
Mine is rsvping for a wedding because I wait till
the very last minute and then beyond the deadline, well
beyond the deadline.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I hate going to weddings, so.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
It's like, oh my god, what's my answer going to be?
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And then I usually wind up going, but I you know,
that's monstrous, man, I tell them too late. Sorry, But
if you don't want to go, don't go.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I mean it gets to the point where if you
just don't want to go, be absolute about it, don't
don't like. I think the whole point of that that
one on this list is commit commit to doing it
or commit to not doing it, and just once you
commit either way, stick with it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah, Tanisha Online twenty has a suggestion for all of
us when people invite us somewhere.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, Tanisha, help us out with this.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
Yeh, so I have the best response for when someone
asked to come out somewhere. I always say, oh, that
sounds fun, so I'm not necessarily committing to it, But
I also don't want to shoot down their plans so
they feel bad about, you know, not being interested in going.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
If if I asked Tanisha, if I said, Hey, we're
getting together for dinner tonight, if you told me that
sounds fun, I think I would assume.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You were going to be there. Is that wrong? Maybe
maybe I shouldn't think that.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Yeah, maybe you shouldn't. I'm just letting you know that
it sounds like a fun plant, but I'm not telling
you that I'm going to be there.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, I agree, I agree that sounds awesome. It doesn't
mean I'm committing to go.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
That sounds like a commitment to me. Can I just
point out all the time in the most.
Speaker 6 (08:02):
When scared almost having a party, Hey, that sounds like
a great time.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Have a blast now. My favorite line is, hey, tell
her when I said hello.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But he leaves to think he's going because he's like,
have a great time.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Tell him.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I said, Hi, but if you were to just leave it,
Oh my gosh, that sounds like a great time.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Want to see your ass there?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, Tenisha, I don't know. Ts you better be your
dinner tonight. I'm telling you right now.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
I'll tell you what, Elvis, that sounds like a lot
of fun.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
There you go, all right, Tenisha, thank you for listening today.
We appreciate your contribution.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
That's as brilliant as it is offensive. By the way,
when people do that that you think that they're committing
but they're not.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
It's like, yeah, what was it? What was the other
line that Lee Schreger used the other day.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
When somebody says or shows you a picture, you're supposed
to be like, well, that isn't that something?
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Exactly, you don't.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Like something something that something, which could be like that's
crap for that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
I'm not going to commit either way.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Like pictures of people's children. He's like, oh, that's something, Oh,
that's something.
