Speaker 3 (00:10):
Hi, everybody, good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I don't know if I mentioned this, but the Fireman's
going back to school.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
I think you told us. I don't know if you
mentioned on the area. I didn't know this.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, So when after his last tour in Afghanistan, he
went to like a community college in San Diego for
two semesters, then came back here and wanted to get
on Boston Fire so he never.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Got his degree.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
So there were talks about it, and you know it
was going to be a commitment because he would have
multiple online courses, but then he would also have to
do an in person course and he will every Tuesday
night from six to ten, so that's an additional night
that he'll be gone, plus the.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Twenty fours that he works.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
So you know, we chatted about it and definitely seem
like something he really wanted to do. And I listen,
I'm happy for him. It has always been an ongoing
joke for me to say that I'm the only one
in the house with an education, and I love well,
No and I just like, I love being able to
say that's what.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
That's gonna be tough. I know this poor guy, so
it's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
So he leaves last night for class, okay, and I
post this on Instagram.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I said, the fireman is quote going back.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
For his degree, doing night school. Meanwhile, I think he's
just trying to escape the asylum. He's probably at a
bar right now and bought a MacBook for show. I
can just picture it now. He's sitting at the bar saying, yeah,
I bought an eight hundred dollars computer, a backpack with
a little pad in a notebook. And she actually believes
I'm going to community college okay, joking obviously, yeah, very clear.

(01:52):
Immediately then post a screenshot that I text him because
after like the thought of it, I go, good luck tonight.
Send me a picture of the classroom. I want to
see if it looks like mine did at Northeastern.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Still joking, still joking. D M from a from a listener.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Hey, Ashley, not that your husband would ever do this,
but that actually happened to my friend.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
She was paying for her husband.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
To go to night classes and he was cheating the
entire time.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
What cheating? Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
So now I'm like, let me go back to this
tex exchange and wait for my classroom photo, and I'm
gonna post the classroom photo. Never got one, but I
did get a I'm done. I'll call you in a minute.
You should have seen my DMS. People were like, why.

Speaker 3 (02:41):
Would that girl send you that message? Yeah, they're like,
unnecessary to tell me.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, every Tuesday night, every Tuesday night from six to ten, Quinsay.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
College, You're gonna see me.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
But her situation is not going to be like yours though,
at least that's what she's saying.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yeah, because nobody knows that man better than I. When
when he was like, I need to buy myself a
new MacBook, I knew that he was going to school
because he would never He doesn't buy things for himself.
He doesn't like things. And by the way, and God
bless his soul. You know, he's this is all new
to him now, and he's trying to navigate college and

(03:26):
like the portals, so you know, you have to log
into the Quincy College portal and then on the side
it shows like modules and it shows work that he
has to do, and he's he doesn't ever use computers.
So he'll say, hey, do you mind if I do
some work in the bed, like while you're sleeping. I'm like, oh, no,
that's fine. I mean it's going to be.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
One of the.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Only type.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Type two fingers.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
So it's like it's so bad.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I had to bring it up to him last night.
I said, listen, I'm I am so proud of you,
and I'm happy that you're doing this, and it's going
to be a grind, and but it'll be amazing in
the end. He's going for business. I said, you got
to learn to type. I can't live like this. It's embarrassing.
It looks like a caveman.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
Like what you're you gonna do when you have to
write write a paper? It's gonna take him hours. Yeah,
he could probably write good. No, I'm saying if he's
he or he can put on.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
The U, I would say, I've I've helped him out
a little bit thus far. I would say writing level
of a.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Probably sophomore in high school.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
I mean, he's he was a marine.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
It's not I said he had to write an autobiography
about himself.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
I was mortified. I said, honey, you just wrote three
paragraphs and you didn't include a wife and children, like like,
what are you even? Yeah, it's tough, but we're we'll
get through it. We're working on it, and it's only.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Going to be more positive. Yeah, I was.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Trying so hard.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
It might not be cheated, but he's definitely running away
from he He probably wants to just pay me.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Tell everybody how I just coached you up with with weather.
The weather.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
The condescending tone that she told me how to do
something was like crazy. I felt like I'm a loser,
Like I'm like, can you say that?

Speaker 4 (05:19):
Nicer?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
One of those he does exactly what you do, and like,
if Santi's going to do something, he'll say, Ashley.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
How would you say? Yeah, I've noticed that's what he'll
say to me too. Hey I want to say this,
but actually how would you say?

Speaker 5 (05:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Like you're usually fine, but today was very like the
messaging was like well.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
Because it was like stupid, all right.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You don't have to tell he's going like this twenty
degrees NINETI have ten.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
It is very very cold. It's Auntie with your weather.
Like they know that.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
They communicate that.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I tried and then you did exact.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Same really really hard because you did it twice.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
I can't believe that there are men out here and
probably women to using school is an undercover coppo to have.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
An affair anything.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
I'm thinking about this because normally you would go somewhere
and pay this bill, right, So I'm thinking that she's
given Homie the bread to be like, go pay for school.
You get what I'm saying, and then he's just pocketing
the money and going to cheat or.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
Like a lot of these places you have to pay
up front right for So she must have gone on
paid for his schooling and.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
He he just doesn't show what the class.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Well, here's what I think. These these portals, because Northeastern
had a portal too. Every school is different. When he
probably was logging into whatever portal, you can see what
the whole semester is going to look like.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
You can see what the assignments are going to look like.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
So he would know, okay, I could skip that class
because it's just going to be a lecture about Yeah,
so by the way, something this is also about the
viron man. That something that disappointed me. And it's fine.
But his first class last night they got to play
two truths and a lie.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
That's how they did an introduction team building.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Yeah, so I thought it would have been hilarious to
include one of them. My wife hosts a radio show.
No one's gonna believe that.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yeah, but then that starts a whole other conversation. You
know what he's and then he wants to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
He goes, I couldn't do it because I thought about it,
and I thought somebody might ask me a follow up
question I wanted to do.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
You know what his three were? I was born in Seuthie,
I live in Marshfield. Wait, I have two boys. I'm like, god,
you know, he.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Like the thought of him as a student embarrasses me.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
And you know what, another thing.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I know, it's stupid, this is stupid, but he really
did want to have like a backpack with the pad
in it for the laptop. Fine, you know he's put
the money. The backpack came in.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
I go, what is that?

Speaker 5 (07:51):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
It looks like a backpack that Layla would wear.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
It's so small. He put on his back and it
was like miniature by I said, I know. I said,
that's going to the trash. I said, where did you
get that? He said Amazon? I took his phone. I
returned it. And I ordered him a regular person bag.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
It's just he student him the fireman as a student
is driving me.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
I'm from Southey, I live in Marshfield and I have
two sons. That's what you couldn't He's a simple.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
Guy, I know, but there's so much flair I imagine.
He added in, Oh my and my wife's a radio
show host, like that would have been fun.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
And that was because I'm stopping the class. I'm like,
what do we listen to her?

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Listen, you're a fireman. Okay, point proven, point proven. But anyways,
let's just all like conclusive. We don't there's no affair
happening on Tuesday night?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
The hell, Hi, everybody, good morning, It's Ashley and the
JAB Morning Show. My cousin just texted me. I messed up,
you guys. You know how when little kids go to
kindergarten for the first day and they hold those stupid
uh sis, I'm going to.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Be an astronaut when I grow up. How did I not?
How did you not?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
How would you convince him to do to do that?

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Because he would have said no, no, he wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I don't know if he would have held this sign,
but I at least could have got you guys a
picture of that backpack that was made for like miniature humans.

Speaker 4 (09:22):
The backpack on.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Him go, especially because now there's a running joke on
the internet that he wasn't going to school, that he
was going to a bar in Quincy.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, that was mistakes were made right there.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
What if he needs a tutor, right, that's gonna help
help help him out. But she is smoking hot wears
like tiny clothes or.

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Boos can be his tutor.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's just because let's just say she's good at something else,
hanging out a lot. Then and then they become friends
and they're just going to bars together.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I mean I have to say, yeah, right.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
I don't know. Oh that's a new question.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
How would you feel I feel?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I mean, if she's just a tutor, it's not her
fault that she okay, that's for the line, and she's
if I got to hear him come home and be like,
guess what Mary said today?

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Mary can die, Mary can die. No, but seriously, let
me just take a second.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
I am very very proud of the fireman going back
to school to get his degree.
