Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Krista.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, so you know, I have this situation I wanted
to get suggestions for and it's like, you know, I
accidentally broke someone else's bad news. So I was wondering, like,
you know, how could somebody go about it in this situation,
Like what would be the best thing to do?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We used to do breaking bad news, but we haven't
done that a long time. But you're saying you already
broke somebody's bad news.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, I already did, and I didn't mean to.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
What'd you do?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
So?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I have a stepbrother and you know, we've actually gotten
much closer over the years, and yeah, we have a
really good relationship. And I found out that my stepmom's mom,
so my stepbrother's grandma, he passed away and it was
(00:55):
a sudden passing. And I texted him him about it
that like, hey, you know, I'm so sorry that your
grandma passed away, and you know, like I'm here for
you and everything, and he was really devastated because he
didn't know.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
How did you get the news before him?
Speaker 6 (01:15):
His mom texted me and I was like his mom
before him, I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Believe exactly, Yeah, I didn't know. I thought that she
would have told him first.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You would think, well, maybe did she send it to you?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And then she's like, oh my bad, this is that
text us for Tyler or whatever your stepbrother's name is.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, she no, it was for me. She definitely meant
to fund it to me.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
Yeah, that his mom wouldn't text him first, I wonder why.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I wonder if if it was more like, hey, justa
heads up, you know, you might need to be there
for your brother and a little bit.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
But that is very But don't you think she'd say, wait,
because I'm telling it first.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
You think also, sometimes trauma, you know, you just do things.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But wait, the person that texts you their mom died.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Right right exactly?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, so she probably disheveled.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
She's probably a mess.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
And also like, was it like maybe like it's okay
to tell you in a text, but maybe she was
going to say, like a person, that might be something
like maybe she was worried that your stepbrother was going
to be really emotional. She wanted to be there to
give him a hug and that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Maybe, yeah, that's possible because he was close with her,
with his grandmother. So yeah, like I said, he was
really devastated.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
Either way, you're like.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Whoops, yes, sorry, okay, Christa, let's try something. Maybe we
can make you feel a little bit better. Eight seven seven,

You stole their thunder, you ruined their bad news right.
Speaker 9 (03:34):
Oh my god, Yes, what happened. I was working at
this company and I was like, in a mid level
management position. I caught wind that one of my favorite employees.
I mean, think of your ideal employee, always on time,
you know, does well on all of her assignments, always
a team player, always there to pick up the slack,
like the best employee I think we had and she
(03:57):
had been there for like fifteen years, but I caught
wind that they had fired her, or at least I
thought they had already fired her. So I grabbed my
phone and I text her, and I'm like, oh my goodness,
I am so sorry to hear this. If you need
anything from me, like, I will write you every reference,
like I will tell people how amazing you are. You're
going to get through this. This is gonna be fine,
(04:19):
this is gonna be better for you and this poor woman.
She doesn't even text me back. She calls me they
hadn't fired her yet.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Yes, oh my.

the pit of your stomach when you tell that story
right now.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
It hurts me so badly.
Speaker 9 (04:42):

I going to do? How am I going to put
food on the table? And I mean, oh my, oh

and I had reached out to his brother to make
sure that he was okay, and his brother had no idea.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh my gosh, that is the worst ever.

you've reached out to the brother.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
Yes, And I'm.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
Not really sure why, because our relationship actually ended really crazy.
I had moved out of state. He held me hostage.
It was a horrible situation. But they had reached out
to me to let me know before they had told him.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So, how do you tell him, Hey, are you doing okay?

Speaker 6 (07:58):
The Valleys Number one morning show two years of running.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Is John Jay and Rich. John Jay Rich's time for
breaking bad news. Breaking bad news is us delivering bad
news to somebody on the radio for you. We're gonna
do that for Tina this morning. Good morning, Tina, Good morning.
So Tina, you and Peyton have been talking? Peyton, how
long you guys been chatting?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Oh, geez's been a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Now, Pee Okay, Tina, who's the bad news for.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
My friend Jonie? She's an absolute volcano, so I know
it's just gonna get bad.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Uh oh, how long have you guys been friends? Like?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
How close are you?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
I mean we were friends. We played soccer together in
college and we always say happy birthday and stuff. But
whenever I find myself in North Holle, I hit her
up because she lived there. But we didn't like talk
every day or even every month.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Friends like that from college.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Yeah, okay, So it's not like you're not besties. But
this is something that, even though you're not super duper close,
is going to make her real angry.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Yeah, it's just it's not going to be it's not
going to be good. We've been planning it for a while,
and I've been putting it off for like at least
two months.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh geez, I wonder what kind of bad news.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
One of the things is with this segment, we don't
we don't want to know what it is until she's
hearing it for the first time. But I'm just trying
to think of wonder what kind of bad news a
friend would deliver another friend that they're not really friends with,
unless it's like I'm not going to the reunion, I'm
not going to see you.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And even then I'd be like, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I mean it's not volcano's volcano and this is going
to be bad. Is it something about your past?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Uh, it's not exactly a reveal from the past. I mean,
like it kind of is, because we've been planning it,
but it's it's not like, uh, it's not like a
deep dark secret that I've been holding on too for years.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Okay, well let me tell you, because I I know
the bad news and if I was the person of
receiving this bad news, I think I would I would
probably feel some type away just because it was pushed off.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Okay, well, we'll get ready to do it, so Tina
will take a break, we'll come back. You pick one
of us to read the bad news to your friend Joni,
and we'll do it next.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Sound good? All right?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Breaking bad news continues next. John Jay and Rich, John,
Jay and Rich, we're in the little breaking bad news.
Tina has some bad news to break to a friend
of hers named Janie. You guys been friends for a
long time. We played SLocker together in college. But you
don't see each other very often, right Tina.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah, like I said, like we see each other whenever
I'm in her area or like, but we don't like
talk every day or like even like every month.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The only person that really knows the bad news is Peyton.
And the news is written up in an envelope. It's
sealed and Tina, what we ask is that you pick
one of us to read the bad new news to
Joni when we get her on the phone. So, who
would you like to read the bad news?
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Oh my gosh, Kyle, see you?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Okay, all right, So let's get Jonie. You have the envelope,
Kyle h No, thank.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
You, Peyton, You're welcome. I have it now we are prepared.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Hi, is Joni available?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Yes, that's the sheet.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Hi, Jony, my.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Name is Peyton.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I'm with a John, Jay and Rich and we just
wanted to talk to you on the radio really quickly
if you have some time this morning.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
Okay, yeah, sure, I guess so.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
So, Jony, we do a radio show and one of
the segments on our radio show is called breaking bad News,
and that's where we connect to people and somebody has
to tell the other person bad news, but they use
members of our show to do it.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, So the.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Reason we're calling you is because somebody has bad news
to deliver to you.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (12:07):
This is not how I thought my morning would go,
but I guess I want to know.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
But that's why we're here so that it maybe won't
be quite as bad.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
Okay, So what are you gonna tell me, like my
goldfish died or something.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Well you could probably figure that on your own. Look
across the room if your goldfish is upside down. But listen,
we got your friend Tina on the line. Remember Tina.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I remember Tina.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay, ye, so you two say hi for a second.
Tina must have hid to Jonie.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Hi, Johnny Hi Tina.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
She's like already getting on the defensive.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Tina has chosen Kyle on our show to read you
the bad news. So whenever you're ready, Joni, Kyle will
rip up with the envelope and she'll just read it.
We're all hearing the bad news at.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
The same time.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
Okay, Okay, go for it.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Hold on?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Okay, both here it comes. Hey, Jojo, I'm not going
to be able to go on our trip to Vegas
this weekend. I wasn't able to get the weekend off
and money's just too tight.
Speaker 11 (13:18):
Right now, this is hilarious, haha, very funny. Right then,
you'd be you're kidding, right, this is a joke.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
No, I mean, like I wish it was a joke,
Like I truly wish it was a joke. But I'm
being so serious right now. Like I tried everything to
get that shift covered, like called every single person possible
to cover the shift, and my boss like off it
right now?
Speaker 11 (13:47):
Are you are you kidding me? We have had this
plan for six whole months and you're telling me now
that you can't get the day off. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 11 (13:56):
No, no, no, no, no no. Now it all makes
sense that you're being really weird and shady and sketchy
about paying and sending over your money. I should have
own you're a slate, dude, Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
And I look, look, I don't know why you're freaking out.
It's literally not that deep. I just you know, I
actually that deep.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
Carla and I are not to find someone to go.
We literally leave in three days.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Dude.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
This is exactly what happened senior year spring break. Okay,
you wanted to stay in some nice hotel and now
you're leaving us with the bill. This is so messed up.
This is not the first time this has happened too.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
I should have known.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Oh my god, listen, we were kids, like we're basically
like we're still seniors in high school, and I know
we're just like a couple of years out, but I'm
still working, you know, at the restaurant, and it's speaking
things really really hard, and you don't have to yell at.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Me like I.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Family. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
Also for you to do this through someone else for
you and not just tell me that is cowardly. You
are a coward, and you know what.
Speaker 12 (14:57):
That's it.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
This is the third time this has happened. I'm out
three strikes. That's it. You're dead to me. Okay, block
my number.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't. I don't want to go on trips with.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
Someone like sounds the last minute, JNY, come on, no
pinut call me off the freaking radio.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay. Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Well, first of all, when it comes to like slams,
you know, like you're getting out of somebody, Hey, block
my number.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think it'd be the around I block. I'm blocking
your number.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
She's she's mad, I'm gonna block my number right now.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Type of girl you block their number. No, you block
my number.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I'm telling you, you block my number. I don't want anything
to do with you.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Why would you, because like, if you're mad, you won't
be calling them anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Block number that I say, I'm never calling you again.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Okay, I'm just my number.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Because I would think.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
Past the fact that, like she totally just screwed her
friend over, I'd I would probably say block my number,
and then she'd be like, okay, blocking over, like whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Ye dead to me? Part scene pretty clear.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But bab you tell your boyfriend to block your number?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
What he makes me that if he's not texting me back.
I just blocked my number.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Bro, He's like, okay, home, Okay, So Jonie, you're over
at three strikes, you're dead to me.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I think that's the sentence anyway, as maybe hold on, maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Tina could fix it.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Does Tina know someone that could like that? Maybe you
know that she could send on the trip with you
guys to help you at least, you know, offset the
costs or something.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
I'd actually been calling like a couple of people from
our soccer team in college, and like, I think Brenda's
really interested, And she said that she was going to
reach out to you after this morning to see if
she could come on the trip. I want to trip
with Brenda.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
You want to go on a trip with Brenda. I
wanted to go on a trip with you. That's why
I planned a trip with you.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Brenda. She just wants to go to Vegas with her friends.
Her soccer friends were like, no, Brenda, Brenda the half back,
No way.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I don't know, Tina.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
If I'm being honest here, you honestly haven't even apologize. Yeah,
so I feel like Joni has every right to feel
feel the way that she's feeling.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I would just feel so guilty, Like I would feel
like you're not going I would almost feel obligated to
pay anyway, you know, or like if you can't pay
right now, like and they can't find someone, at least
over time pay them back.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm right, I do make that work, Like if
it's just the money up front right away, right now,
like like I said, like I work a like a
minimum wage job rush out of college, like I'm I mean,
like I.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Mean over time, you know, you could make payments to
sort of just try to make up for it. I mean,
if you want to make the friendship work, if you're
not you're not interested about that, and you know you're
dead to Jonie and that's okay with you, then I
guess you wouldn't need to try. But if it were
me and it's my friend and that friendship meant something
to me, I would try to be doing everything I
could to make up for the fact that you can't go.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
No absolutely, and I'm and like don't I'm like really sorry,
and I and I know this is putting you in
a bad spot, but I want you to know that
I've tried everything possible, Like I called Brenda, I called
my boss, like I did everything that I needed to do.
It wasn't just something that I was and I was
the reason why I waited so last minute is because
I thought somebody was going to be able to cover it,
(18:20):
and then their kids got six so then I couldn't.
Then it just didn't work out. So basically, like if
I just know that I can't go this weekend, but
if I would love to make this friendship, you know,
keep working like we have a lot of like history together,
like a lot of hours of practice and trips, you know,
and if I could pay it over time, like I
(18:40):
would like much prefer that, then to lock your number.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
Yeah, well I'm sorry, but my friendship is is not
a mortgage. And I really, I really am. I'm pretty
done with it. This has happened multiple times and and
I just I can't trust you. It goes beyond trip.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
This is friendship too.

your ex said.
Speaker 12 (22:49):
Yeah, So me and my ex fiance we were together
for about five years. But when we first started dating,
we were watching something on TV about like planets or
the solar system or something. I can't remember exactly what
it was, but she had said something about, yeah, we
can go to the Sun, and I was like, what
she said, Yeah we can go to the sun. We
just go at nighttime.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
I mean, you know, I don't know if NASA's gonna
go with that plan, but it's a thing.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So at that moment where you're kind of like, okay,
this has to end.
Speaker 13 (23:24):
There's no way you.
Speaker 12 (23:25):
Just said that. I told everybody I couldn't believe it.
I just felt like I was it was the dumbest
thing I've ever heard in my life. And then you know,
after she realized, she said, I think she realized that
it was really dumb, but yeah, that was that was
a doozy there.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Hey, let me let me ask you this being with
somebody for five years because we talked about this a
lot on the show. How come you didn't pull a trigger?
How come you didn't get a ring? How come you
didn't propose?
Speaker 13 (23:50):
Well, so we were together five years, we have four
kids together. Oh and the reason why I didn't propose
is because I found her in bed with the maintenance
guy at the apartments.
Speaker 12 (24:03):
That we lived in.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
There you go, that's probably that Is that a good reason?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Rich show Good Stuff.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
It's John Jay and Rich Sassy
Good morning, Krista.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, so you know, I have this situation I wanted
to get suggestions for and it's like, you know, I
accidentally broke someone else's bad news. So I was wondering, like,
you know, how could somebody go about it in this situation,
Like what would be the best thing to do?
Speaker 3 (00:21):
We used to do breaking bad news, but we haven't
done that a long time. But you're saying you already
broke somebody's bad news.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah, I already did, and I didn't mean to.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
What'd you do?
Speaker 4 (00:32):
So?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I have a stepbrother and you know, we've actually gotten
much closer over the years, and yeah, we have a
really good relationship. And I found out that my stepmom's mom,
so my stepbrother's grandma, he passed away and it was
(00:55):
a sudden passing. And I texted him him about it
that like, hey, you know, I'm so sorry that your
grandma passed away, and you know, like I'm here for
you and everything, and he was really devastated because he
didn't know.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
How did you get the news before him?
Speaker 6 (01:15):
His mom texted me and I was like his mom
before him, I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Believe exactly, Yeah, I didn't know. I thought that she
would have told him first.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
You would think, well, maybe did she send it to you?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
And then she's like, oh my bad, this is that
text us for Tyler or whatever your stepbrother's name is.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
No, she no, it was for me. She definitely meant
to fund it to me.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
Yeah, that his mom wouldn't text him first, I wonder why.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I wonder if if it was more like, hey, justa
heads up, you know, you might need to be there
for your brother and a little bit.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
But that is very But don't you think she'd say, wait,
because I'm telling it first.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
You think also, sometimes trauma, you know, you just do things.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But wait, the person that texts you their mom died.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Right right exactly?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, so she probably disheveled.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
She's probably a mess.
Speaker 7 (02:07):
And also like, was it like maybe like it's okay
to tell you in a text, but maybe she was
going to say, like a person, that might be something
like maybe she was worried that your stepbrother was going
to be really emotional. She wanted to be there to
give him a hug and that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Maybe, yeah, that's possible because he was close with her,
with his grandmother. So yeah, like I said, he was
really devastated.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
Either way, you're like.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Whoops, yes, sorry, okay, Christa, let's try something. Maybe we
can make you feel a little bit better. Eight seven seven,
nine three seven, one oh four seven. Open up the
phone lines, and you see has anyone ever done that before?
Has anyone ever shared bad news before the person that
(02:55):
really should have got the bad news got it right? Okay, Chris,
that thanks, so turn up the radio. Listen everyone make
you feel better eight seven seven, nine three seven one
oh four seven. Thanks Christopher calling in, sorry about your step.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Okay whatever, thank you? That yeah, step Grandma. You don't care,
step Gramm. Come on, I can still. No one's ever
closer their step grandma.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Grandma step by Christa, Bye.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Kaitlin, good morning. So you broke bad news to somebody.
You stole their thunder, you ruined their bad news right.
Speaker 9 (03:34):
Oh my god, Yes, what happened. I was working at
this company and I was like, in a mid level
management position. I caught wind that one of my favorite employees.
I mean, think of your ideal employee, always on time,
you know, does well on all of her assignments, always
a team player, always there to pick up the slack,
like the best employee I think we had and she
(03:57):
had been there for like fifteen years, but I caught
wind that they had fired her, or at least I
thought they had already fired her. So I grabbed my
phone and I text her, and I'm like, oh my goodness,
I am so sorry to hear this. If you need
anything from me, like, I will write you every reference,
like I will tell people how amazing you are. You're
going to get through this. This is gonna be fine,
(04:19):
this is gonna be better for you and this poor woman.
She doesn't even text me back. She calls me they
hadn't fired her yet.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Yes, oh my.
Speaker 9 (04:33):
Gosh, I still feel so bad about it today.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
I can I can feel your heart sinking into your
the pit of your stomach when you tell that story
right now.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
It hurts me so badly.
Speaker 9 (04:42):
She calls me and she's just hysterical. She's like, oh
my gosh, I have three kids. You know what am
I going to do? How am I going to put
food on the table? And I mean, oh my, oh
my gosh, I.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Still feel bad about it to this day.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
At least you know what that HR meeting is later today.

sure that he was okay, and his brother had no idea.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Oh my gosh, that is the worst ever.

Yeah, So his family reached out to you first before
you've reached out to the brother.
Speaker 10 (05:39):
Yes, And I'm.
Speaker 8 (05:40):
Not really sure why, because our relationship actually ended really crazy.
I had moved out of state. He held me hostage.
It was a horrible situation. But they had reached out
to me to let me know before they had told him.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So, how do you tell him, Hey, are you doing okay?

The Valleys Number one morning show two years of running.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Is John Jay and Rich. John Jay Rich's time for
breaking bad news. Breaking bad news is us delivering bad
news to somebody on the radio for you. We're gonna
do that for Tina this morning. Good morning, Tina, Good morning.
So Tina, you and Peyton have been talking? Peyton, how
long you guys been chatting?
Speaker 4 (08:25):
Oh, geez's been a couple of days.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Now, Pee Okay, Tina, who's the bad news for.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
My friend Jonie? She's an absolute volcano, so I know
it's just gonna get bad.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
Uh oh, how long have you guys been friends? Like?
Speaker 1 (08:40):
How close are you?
Speaker 6 (08:41):
I mean we were friends. We played soccer together in
college and we always say happy birthday and stuff. But
whenever I find myself in North Holle, I hit her
up because she lived there. But we didn't like talk
every day or even every month.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 5 (08:58):
Friends like that from college.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Yeah, okay, So it's not like you're not besties. But
this is something that, even though you're not super duper close,
is going to make her real angry.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
Yeah, it's just it's not going to be it's not
going to be good. We've been planning it for a while,
and I've been putting it off for like at least
two months.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Oh geez, I wonder what kind of bad news.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
One of the things is with this segment, we don't
we don't want to know what it is until she's
hearing it for the first time. But I'm just trying
to think of wonder what kind of bad news a
friend would deliver another friend that they're not really friends with,
unless it's like I'm not going to the reunion, I'm
not going to see you.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And even then I'd be like, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:36):
I mean it's not volcano's volcano and this is going
to be bad. Is it something about your past?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Uh, it's not exactly a reveal from the past. I mean,
like it kind of is, because we've been planning it,
but it's it's not like, uh, it's not like a
deep dark secret that I've been holding on too for years.
Speaker 4 (09:57):
Okay, well let me tell you, because I I know
the bad news and if I was the person of
receiving this bad news, I think I would I would
probably feel some type away just because it was pushed off.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
Okay, well, we'll get ready to do it, so Tina
will take a break, we'll come back. You pick one
of us to read the bad news to your friend Joni,
and we'll do it next.

Tina has some bad news to break to a friend
of hers named Janie. You guys been friends for a
long time. We played SLocker together in college. But you
don't see each other very often, right Tina.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah, like I said, like we see each other whenever
I'm in her area or like, but we don't like
talk every day or like even like every month.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
The only person that really knows the bad news is Peyton.
And the news is written up in an envelope. It's
sealed and Tina, what we ask is that you pick
one of us to read the bad new news to
Joni when we get her on the phone. So, who

Okay, So the.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Reason we're calling you is because somebody has bad news
to deliver to you.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (12:07):
This is not how I thought my morning would go,
but I guess I want to know.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
But that's why we're here so that it maybe won't
be quite as bad.
Speaker 11 (12:18):
Okay, So what are you gonna tell me, like my
goldfish died or something.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Well you could probably figure that on your own. Look
across the room if your goldfish is upside down. But listen,
we got your friend Tina on the line. Remember Tina.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I remember Tina.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay, ye, so you two say hi for a second.
Tina must have hid to Jonie.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
Hi, Johnny Hi Tina.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
She's like already getting on the defensive.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Tina has chosen Kyle on our show to read you
the bad news. So whenever you're ready, Joni, Kyle will
rip up with the envelope and she'll just read it.
We're all hearing the bad news at.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
The same time.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
Okay, Okay, go for it.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Hold on?
Speaker 7 (13:05):
Okay, both here it comes. Hey, Jojo, I'm not going
to be able to go on our trip to Vegas
this weekend. I wasn't able to get the weekend off
and money's just too tight.
Speaker 11 (13:18):
Right now, this is hilarious, haha, very funny. Right then,
you'd be you're kidding, right, this is a joke.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
No, I mean, like I wish it was a joke,
Like I truly wish it was a joke. But I'm
being so serious right now. Like I tried everything to
get that shift covered, like called every single person possible
to cover the shift, and my boss like off it
right now?
Speaker 11 (13:47):
Are you are you kidding me? We have had this
plan for six whole months and you're telling me now
that you can't get the day off. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (13:56):
No?
Speaker 11 (13:56):
No, no, no, no, no no. Now it all makes
sense that you're being really weird and shady and sketchy
about paying and sending over your money. I should have
own you're a slate, dude, Oh my god.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
And I look, look, I don't know why you're freaking out.
It's literally not that deep. I just you know, I
actually that deep.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
Carla and I are not to find someone to go.
We literally leave in three days.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Dude.
Speaker 11 (14:19):
This is exactly what happened senior year spring break. Okay,
you wanted to stay in some nice hotel and now
you're leaving us with the bill. This is so messed up.
This is not the first time this has happened too.
Speaker 10 (14:31):
I should have known.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
Oh my god, listen, we were kids, like we're basically
like we're still seniors in high school, and I know
we're just like a couple of years out, but I'm
still working, you know, at the restaurant, and it's speaking
things really really hard, and you don't have to yell at.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Me like I.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
Family. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (14:49):
Also for you to do this through someone else for
you and not just tell me that is cowardly. You
are a coward, and you know what.
Speaker 12 (14:57):
That's it.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
This is the third time this has happened. I'm out
three strikes. That's it. You're dead to me. Okay, block
my number.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't. I don't want to go on trips with.
Speaker 11 (15:04):
Someone like sounds the last minute, JNY, come on, no
pinut call me off the freaking radio.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay. Wow.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Well, first of all, when it comes to like slams,
you know, like you're getting out of somebody, Hey, block
my number.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I think it'd be the around I block. I'm blocking
your number.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
She's she's mad, I'm gonna block my number right now.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Type of girl you block their number. No, you block
my number.
Speaker 5 (15:31):
I'm telling you, you block my number. I don't want anything
to do with you.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Why would you, because like, if you're mad, you won't
be calling them anyway.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Block number that I say, I'm never calling you again.
Speaker 12 (15:42):
Okay, I'm just my number.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Because I would think.
Speaker 7 (15:47):
Past the fact that, like she totally just screwed her
friend over, I'd I would probably say block my number,
and then she'd be like, okay, blocking over, like whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Doesn't matter.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Ye dead to me? Part scene pretty clear.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
But bab you tell your boyfriend to block your number?
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
What he makes me that if he's not texting me back.
I just blocked my number.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Bro, He's like, okay, home, Okay, So Jonie, you're over
at three strikes, you're dead to me.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I think that's the sentence anyway, as maybe hold on, maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Tina could fix it.
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Does Tina know someone that could like that? Maybe you
know that she could send on the trip with you
guys to help you at least, you know, offset the
costs or something.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
I'd actually been calling like a couple of people from
our soccer team in college, and like, I think Brenda's
really interested, And she said that she was going to
reach out to you after this morning to see if
she could come on the trip. I want to trip
with Brenda.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
You want to go on a trip with Brenda. I
wanted to go on a trip with you. That's why
I planned a trip with you.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Brenda. She just wants to go to Vegas with her friends.
Her soccer friends were like, no, Brenda, Brenda the half back,
No way.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
I don't know, Tina.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
If I'm being honest here, you honestly haven't even apologize. Yeah,
so I feel like Joni has every right to feel
feel the way that she's feeling.
Speaker 7 (17:05):
I would just feel so guilty, Like I would feel
like you're not going I would almost feel obligated to
pay anyway, you know, or like if you can't pay
right now, like and they can't find someone, at least
over time pay them back.
Speaker 5 (17:18):
That's a good point.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Yeah, I'm right, I do make that work, Like if
it's just the money up front right away, right now,
like like I said, like I work a like a
minimum wage job rush out of college, like I'm I mean,
like I.
Speaker 7 (17:36):
Mean over time, you know, you could make payments to
sort of just try to make up for it. I mean,
if you want to make the friendship work, if you're
not you're not interested about that, and you know you're
dead to Jonie and that's okay with you, then I
guess you wouldn't need to try. But if it were
me and it's my friend and that friendship meant something
to me, I would try to be doing everything I
could to make up for the fact that you can't go.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
No absolutely, and I'm and like don't I'm like really sorry,
and I and I know this is putting you in
a bad spot, but I want you to know that
I've tried everything possible, Like I called Brenda, I called
my boss, like I did everything that I needed to do.
It wasn't just something that I was and I was
the reason why I waited so last minute is because
I thought somebody was going to be able to cover it,
(18:20):
and then their kids got six so then I couldn't.
Then it just didn't work out. So basically, like if
I just know that I can't go this weekend, but
if I would love to make this friendship, you know,
keep working like we have a lot of like history together,
like a lot of hours of practice and trips, you know,
and if I could pay it over time, like I
(18:40):
would like much prefer that, then to lock your number.
Speaker 11 (18:46):
Yeah, well I'm sorry, but my friendship is is not
a mortgage. And I really, I really am. I'm pretty
done with it. This has happened multiple times and and
I just I can't trust you. It goes beyond trip.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
This is friendship too.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Okay, you guys, well you can continue this off our
radio show.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
