1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Fred's Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 2: If someone texted it, we should look up bed parties

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: for college. It's madness. Oh I'm assuming they tuned in

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 2: a little late. But that's how that all started with

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: bed parties for college. The pyrotechnics are wild. That's got

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: to be a fire hazard, that pyrotechnics. Bed parties, you

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: know what all started with, Like, Oh my gosh, honey,

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: you got into college and it was like a pillow

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: on the bed, exciting, you know, and then and now

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: it's who knows, It's like a new house. You get

11
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: a new house for the bed in it, and it's, oh,

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: you're going to Alabama, congratulations, you know, the biggest.

13
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 3: Stories of the day.

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: Ticketmaster has ruled out it's new all in pricing initiative,

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: and that means that you'll now see the full ticket

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: price upfront, including all the pesky service fees before you

17
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: hit the checkout, but no more surprises at the end.

18
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: This change comes change comes in response to the Federal

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: Trade Commissions new regulations banning hidden junk fees, aiming to

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: make pricing more transparent across various industries. While this movie

21
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: is forward, it's worth, noting that local Texas and delivery

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: fees will still appear at checkouts. So it's like all

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: the tickets tw hundred bucks, and he clicked it's like

24
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: seven hundred. Like wait, where did all this come from?

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: It's like how hotels that have become advertised it. You know,

26
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to two hundred bucks a night or

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: whatever it is, and then you're like, oh, okay, cool,

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: and then by the time you check out, it's eight

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: hundred bucks. I didn't go to the gym. Do I

30
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: look like somebody who went to the gym while I

31
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: was here? Like I stuffed my face the entire time.

32
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: You guys know that I've been skeptical. I'm not currently

33
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: medically licensed. We're going to get it back, but you

34
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: know that I've been skeptical of of OZEMPK and these

35
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: weight loss drugs that people are taking it. And look,

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: if you need it for whatever health reason, and your

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: doctor says you should have it, then you should have it.

38
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: What do I know? Don't take medical advice from me.

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: But for some people that are taking it because it

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: helps them lose weight, and maybe they have other means

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: that they could lose weight, they just don't want to

42
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: do it. I'm still convinced, like, are you sure you

43
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: want to do that? Because you might grow a tail.

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: And it turns out there are now side effects that

45
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: people are talking about, lots of them. A new side

46
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: effect is done ohmic mouth. It's making the rounds, especially

47
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: among some celebrities. This condition involves rapid facial fat loss,

48
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: leading to sagging skin and pronounced wrinkles around the mouth,

49
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: giving an unexpectedly aged appearance.

50
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: And then there's thosempic tongue.

51
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 4: Well.

52
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 2: Doctor's now warning about how your taste in food could

53
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: also dramatically shift. It's not just about feeling less hungry.

54
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: New York based obesity specialist doctor Daniel Rosen has seen

55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: avid meat eaters go off of steak, sausages and other

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: favorite cuts because they report a metallic taste.

57
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: So you might lose weight.

58
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: But you've got to be aware about all the potential

59
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: side effects and then consult with a healthcare professional before

60
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: starting any kind of new medication.

61
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: Okay, I still don't see the issue as far. I

62
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 5: don't well think about it. Okay, if that medication can.

63
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 6: Help me not eat steak sausages and I don't know

64
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 6: pastries I'm okay with it. And the Olympic face thing, yeah,

65
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 6: it probably sucks because you look like, you know, eighty

66
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 6: when you're what forty? But I would rather have that

67
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 6: somebody with a very large face with my cheeks. I

68
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 6: would so much rather someone be like, wow, look at

69
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 6: that face.

70
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 3: If you need the.

71
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: Medicine, and this is the side effect, and this is

72
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: just the way that you're going to be healthier, and

73
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: this is the way you're gonna lose weight. I mean,

74
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: there are a lot of examples and amazing, but if

75
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: you don't need it, then why would you want things

76
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: to start tasting bad? And why do they taste bad?

77
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: Like what is going on inside of me that? You

78
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

79
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 7: Yeah?

80
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: How much to eat fewer sausages, you know, but they

81
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: still taste good when I would like to have a sausage.

82
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying. That's tempting the sausage.

83
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. I'm skeptical. I'm skeptic.

84
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: I'm skeptical, and I for no reason, but I'm skeptical

85
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: of anything that seems too easy. When it seems too easy,

86
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, now hold on a minute, yeah again, don't

87
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: ap me I'm not talking about the people who need

88
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: it for health reasons. I'm talking about the people who

89
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 2: need it for vanity reasons. The vanity thing correct. The

90
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: you Go, once considered the worst car in history, is

91
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: making a comeback. A German professor now leads the Yugo

92
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: brand and plans to revive it where they drift up

93
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: a prototype by twenty twenty seven. So if it's the

94
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: worst car ever, why we're bringing it back. It was

95
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: made in Yugoslavia, It died out nearly two years ago,

96
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: and it was considered one of the worst cards due

97
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: to its poor build quality, reliability issues, and questionable safety standards.

98
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 3: They promise that the.

99
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: Subcompact hatchback will be true to the band, the brand's

100
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 2: budget minded buyer, So we can have a you Go. Now,

101
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: what would you say is the optimal number of beers

102
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: to drink in one sitting?

103
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: Because this story has been on every website this morning.

104
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: I didn't eve think I was going to do it

105
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: until I saw it for the fourth time, and someone's

106
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: taking it upon themselves to figure out the optimal number

107
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: of beers. I would think that this would vary depending

108
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: on size and the kind of beer. You're drinking and

109
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: all kinds of different stuff. But the perfect number of

110
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: beers in one.

111
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 5: Sitting optimal being just for the best feeling.

112
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess so, just best all around experience, like

113
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: four five three, oh, this guy says three. According to

114
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: a recent article from a website called mass Live, the

115
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: beer Nut, the sweet spot is three beers. This trio

116
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: allows you to savor the flavors and enjoy the buzz

117
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 2: and keep things in moderation. The piece emphasizes, while beer

118
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: is a delightful companion, it's best enjoyed responsibly.

119
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 5: Well, I order a beer in a shot.

120
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: That's good to know.

121
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that would seed up the process. Yeah. And

122
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: a delivery driver from Amazon was fired after she was

123
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: caught on video pooping on a customer's porch in Los Angeles.

124
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: When you gotta go, you gotta go. I wonder this

125
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: all the time.

126
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: If you're an Amazon driver or a Doordasce driver, if

127
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: you have a second eight five five five three five,

128
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: where do you go to the bathroom?

129
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 3: Do you go home?

130
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: Or do if you find yourself far away from the house,

131
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: do you go to like a I don't know, fast

132
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: food restaurant or something? And do you order something and

133
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: use it or did you just go in and use it?

134
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: Jason company. When you were doordass driver, Jason, I thought

135
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: Bello was back. Why do you have to come and.

136
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: Go there are issues? Are you serious again? What are

137
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: the issues? Why are there issues? There's issues every day?

138
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: Stop with the issues. Would you go to the bathroom

139
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: when you were a door dess driver.

140
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: I would s up at like gas stations or the

141
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: restaurants that I was picking up from, Like if I

142
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: had a couple minutes to wait for the food, I

143
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: would go there.

144
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: And they never gave you any trouble about it. No, No,

145
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: because I mean, I guess somebody was buying something. It

146
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: wasn't you.

147
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: But yeah.

148
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: A delivery driver for Amazon was fired after she was

149
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 2: caught on video pooping on a customer's portion in Los Angeles. Now,

150
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: we could have picked the spot a little better, right,

151
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: because it was right on their front doorstep. A driver

152
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: was seen on security cameras pulling up her pants while

153
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: the bowel movement was left behind on the bottom of

154
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: a set of outdoor stairs. A neighbor also checked their

155
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: security camera caught the same driver urinating inside a wooden gate.

156
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: I mean, this person had some issues. Amazon unofficials said

157
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: that the incident happened on Sunday. The driver was fired

158
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: immediately after they were given the footage. It's not known

159
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: that the driver will face any charges. So we got

160
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 2: to remember, everyone's got cameras everywhere. Now, they got the

161
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: cameras in their floodlights, they got the cameras at the door,

162
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: they got cameras everywhere.

163
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 3: So we got to pick a better spot.

164
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think Amazon's probably harder because like, you're

165
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: not going into businesses, You're just going home to home

166
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: to home to home. But still, like you have to

167
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: pass somewhere that has a bathroom, right at some point

168
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: during going to a.

169
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: Gas station, go into a fest food restaurant, you would.

170
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 5: Think and at least pick it up. Don't leave it

171
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 5: on my door.

172
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 3: Snow, Like, come on, man, that's true. Get a doggy bay.

173
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: I mean, ay, if it was an emergency or whatever,

174
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: like hose it off something, I would have.

175
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 8: Took one of the boxes. You know, I'll drop off

176
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 8: your snacks and open up the ball.

177
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: Just leave an unboxed snacks Like, I guess that's better.

178
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: I'd rather have unboxed snacks than a pile of me,

179
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: but like, why were you peeing on one person's yard?

180
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: And then I mean, like, oh wait, hold on, this

181
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: is going to develop into something a little more. I mean,

182
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: what is going on? Like if you're not sure, you know,

183
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know. It's actual apple pie Day today,

190
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: if you missed it a few minutes ago. She believes

191
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: that she should be honored as the first daughter of

192
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,440

00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,600

00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: for a graphic designer.

222
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,079

Speaker 2: around for six months? This boyfriend, Yes, yeah.

236
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 9: We've been dating for about six months. And you know,

237
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 9: as a disclaimer, he's not a heavy drinker like whatsoever.

238
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 9: But you know, he does like to go out over

239
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 9: the weekend on his days off, and he does usually

240
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 9: getting he gets really drunk.

241
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: Okay, so what okay, So the guy, this guy even dating,

242
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: he doesn't drink, like so what is like not during

243
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: the week he doesn't drink, but then when he goes

244
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: out he beings drinks.

245
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 3: Is that the story?

246
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 10: Yeah?

247
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 9: I mean, well, the thing is that he just turns

248
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 9: into a different person when he starts drinking and he's

249
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 9: you know, he really is such a kind and considerate boyfriend,

250
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 9: but you know, on the weekends when he drinks, he's

251
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 9: just not as sweet and he starts like picking fights

252
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 9: with me and even like just people around in the bar.

253
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 9: It's just really weird. Like he gets like overly protective,

254
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 9: Like he like he thinks that guys are flirting with

255
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 9: me when they're not.

256
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: He's a tough guy, what he's drinking.

257
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 9: I mean, that's the thing is, like I know him

258
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 9: as this big softy, but you know there are times

259
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 9: like where he's even like left me at the bar

260
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 9: and he's gone home like without me, without telling me,

261
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 9: and it seems like he's he found a reason to

262
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 9: be like really mad. I don't know, but the whole

263
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 9: thing is that he doesn't even remember leaving me, you know,

264
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 9: Like I did talk to him about it. It's just

265
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 9: that he explained that he I don't know if this

266
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 9: is an excuse or not, but he said but that

267
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 9: he probably did that because he knows his limits and

268
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 9: he was getting too drunk.

269
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's you know, you would say that. I mean,

270
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 3: you're you're his partner.

271
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 2: So if that were the case, and I realized when

272
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 2: you're drinking, you're not necessarily in your right mind. But

273
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: that's something you would say to your partner. You wouldn't

274
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: leave your partner somewhere. I mean, that's something. I'm the

275
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 2: king of the iris exit when I have met a

276
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 2: little bit too much or whatever, when it's time, I

277
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: usually to sneak out, but I don't have anybody with me.

278
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: I don't leave anybody where we were.

279
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 9: You can't do that, right, Like, at least let me

280
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 9: know that you know, you need to go home or something,

281
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 9: because I know he would be so madified did that

282
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 9: to him, you know, But like I said, I mean,

283
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 9: he he it's not just about like checking off boxes.

284
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 9: But he really is such a great boyfriend outside of

285
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 9: when he drinks. He's like it seems like he's perfect

286
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 9: for me other than that, and I don't know, it's

287
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 9: just it's not like I would say he's class right

288
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080
Speaker 9: having a huge drinking problem because he only drinks like

289
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 9: once or twice a weekend.

290
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if he's drinking and again not an alcohol

291
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: substance abuse counselor, but if he's drinking to that level

292
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 2: once or twice a week, that's still a problem. I mean,

293
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: the problem isn't necessarily And again, someone who's welcome to

294
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: call and correct me on this eight five five, five

295
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: nine one oh three five.

296
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 3: I don't think it's the frequency.

297
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: I don't think it's if you drink every day or

298
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: if you just get hammered twice a week. It sounds

299
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: like he may have a problem with alcohol. And I

300
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: think the question is, I mean, have you have you

301
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: said to him? And again, I don't know that I'm

302
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: qualified to give this advice, but I'm going to try.

303
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: I mean, have you said you have you had this

304
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 2: conversation with him? Hey, I'm concerned about your drinking. I'm

305
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: concerned about your behavior when you drink. I mean, have

306
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 2: you have you had like a like a kind sort

307
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: of constructive conversation about that.

308
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 7: I have I've had.

309
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 9: I would say, yeah, like a few very light conversations

310
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 9: around it. And I think, you know, he gets a

311
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 9: little bit defensive, like I'm attacking him for all like

312
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 9: the good things that he does do for me, And

313
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 9: so I don't think he really like understands how it

314
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 9: affects me and like other people, because he doesn't remember,

315
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 9: you know. So yeah, it's kind of like tricky.

316
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate to say this, but my gut tells

317
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 2: me you got to go. My gut tells me that

318
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: it's it's you're early in this relationship. It's going to

319
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: be a difficult thing. It's going to be a difficult thing

320
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: to to mitigate. I don't know if it's your job

321
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 2: to save this guy. You know, he gets to I

322
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: mean you, I think you can tell him, you know,

323
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: in a caring, loving way. Hey, this this concerns me.

324
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: I care about you. I like you, you know, but

325
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: you don't seem to be acknowledging what is a serious

326
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: problem here. And someone texted that Ben's drinking is a

327
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: form of alcoholism. I mean, I think again, it's I

328
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: don't think you have to get hammered every day to

329
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: be to have a problem. I think you can get

330
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: If you're getting hammered consistently in any frequency, that's probably

331
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: an issue, especially if he's doing it to to sort

332
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: of mask other issues, insecurities or whatever.

333
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 3: I don't know.

334
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: I mean, this could be something you deal with the

335
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: entire length of your relationship. This may never go away.

336
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 9: Yeah, that would really think, because I really like him

337
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 9: so much and I really care for him, So it's

338
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 9: it's really hard to end it just like that, you know.

339
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 9: But yeah, I totally hear what you're saying.

340
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: I've dealt with this a little bit in my life,

341
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: and all I can tell you is that this is

342
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: a decision that the person using the substance.

343
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: They have to make that decision.

344
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: Like, you can beg him, you can, you can, you know, ultimatums,

345
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: you can do all this different stuff, But ultimately, I

346
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 2: think it's just going to cause a divide. I feel

347
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 2: like if you're saying to him, look, I really care

348
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: about you and you are a lot of things that

349
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: I want, but this he is a problem. And in

350
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: order for this relationship to continue, you're going to need

351
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: to manage this somehow. And he's telling you all I

352
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: don't know, or he's used it making excuse you why

353
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: to remember? Okay, well, then don't drink as much you might,

354
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? I think the only real

355
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: option here is for him to stop drinking or manage

356
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: the drinking, or get some help or do something if

357
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: he wants to save the relationship. If he's not willing

358
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: to do any of that, then I don't know that

359
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: this changes, right, I.

360
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 9: Mean, what do you think if you know, he says,

361
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 9: you know, change doesn't happen overnight, like you have to

362
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 9: just like trust me with it, like let me, you know,

363
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 9: take care of it. And then it kind of it's

364
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 9: like a ball, it seems like a ball. Then is

365
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 9: in my court to like let him deal with it

366
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 9: and try not to like micromanage these actions.

367
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: When you bring it up.

368
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 8: If he's getting defensive when you bring it up, it

369
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 8: doesn't even sound like he's really acknowledging that there's an issue.

370
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel like he I feel like he knows

371
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 9: he I think he's like it feels vulnerable.

372
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 2: Okay, But again, I mean this this is going to

373
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: affect your life too. And so if he's serious about

374
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: this relationship and it's and it really is becoming a problem,

375
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: whether it's the way he acts, it's about the way

376
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: he treats you or leaving you places of it about

377
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 2: your safety. You know, again, I think you're in you

378
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: have You have every right to communicate your concern. You

379
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 2: have every right to wish of him that he changes

380
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: his behavior. You can offer him help, you can offer

381
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 2: him support. But I mean, if he's not going to

382
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: do any of that and deny it I don't know,

383
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: he may not be as perfect as you think. And

384
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm again I'm not I'm not advocating you just dump

385
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 2: the guy and leave him. But I mean, if you

386
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: express your care and you express your concern, ultimately he

387
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 2: has to make the decision. If he's telling you he

388
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 2: doesn't have a problem, that's I think that says a lot.

389
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 9: Yep, yeah, no, you have a point there, especially with

390
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 9: like leaving me and stuff, It's like becomes more of

391
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,120
Speaker 9: a safety issue.

392
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the text is blowing up, it's overwhelmingly You've

393
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 2: got to go run a lot of people, you know,

394
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: sharing their personal experience. I mean, it's hundreds of texts already. Unfortunately,

395
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: this is something that I think affects a lot of people.

396
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: But let me take some phone calls. Maybe there are

397
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: some people more qualify, anyone's more qualified than me to

398
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: be giving you advice on this, because again, this is

399
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: not something to play with. You know, this is a

400
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 2: this could be a disease, this could be you know,

401
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: a dependency that he needs real help with. And I

402
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: don't I don't want to say anything that you know

403
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: I shouldn't say because I'm certainly not an expert. But

404
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: let me take some calls and and see people have

405
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: to say and keep the radio one and man, I

406
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: wish you the best. Thank you for sharing that with us.

407
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 2: Good luck, yeah, yeah, eight five five five N one

408
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: one oh three five. Nick, you're a you're a mental

409
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: health therapist.

410
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 11: I am, I am.

411
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 12: How's everybody doing today?

412
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: Good morning? So you hear this story, well, what what

413
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: comes to mind?

414
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 11: What comes to mind is.

415
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 10: Not immediately like leaves. Obviously he is like struggling, and

416
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 10: what he's struggle with is impacting their relationship, and he

417
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 10: clearly needs some form of therapy to address these concerns.

418
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 10: Because Fred, I agree with you, it's not necessarily.

419
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 11: About a frequency. It's also about like how much you're

420
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 11: drinking in that two day period that he's getting blackout drunk.

421
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 11: That could qualify as like a potential binge eating or

422
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 11: binge drinking disorder, and that definitely needs to be addressed.

423
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 11: So I think maybe putting the relationship on like a

424
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 11: probation and saying, hey, if within this six month time

425
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 11: period you don't seek help or make any changes, and

426
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 11: we don't communicate what you're doing to make these changes,

427
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 11: then I can't be with you anymore, this has become unsafe.

428
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, good advice. Thank you Nick, thanks for listening.

429
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 9: Have a good day anytime you guys to love you.

430
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love you too.

431
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's said, you don't want to leave someone

432
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 2: who care about, who you think has all these qualities, right,

433
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 2: we don't want.

434
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: To just leave them.

435
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: But again, if I know anything about this, and sadly

436
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: it's in my fami and it's been part of my life. Unfortunately,

437
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: it's the kind of thing where the person having the

438
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 2: issue and I don't mean to I don't mean to

439
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: isolate that person, but that person, in my experience, has

440
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 2: to make the decision that they want that for their

441
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: life and that people that they matter and that the

442
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: people around them matter enough. But like again, you can threaten,

443
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: you might threaten your whole relationship. Yep, I'm gonna leave

444
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: you if well, guess what If you don't leave, then

445
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: then then your threats don't mean anything anymore. Oh yeah,

446
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: you know, ultimatums aren't going to work. And if you're

447
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: going to leave, then leave, you know what I mean?

448
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: And you can offer so much support, but then if

449
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: they don't want to take the support, this could be

450
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: an issue. For a very long time. Hey Bianca, Yeah, Hi, Hi,

451
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: good morning. So this resonates with you, this story.

452
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, I've been in a seventeen year relationship. I

453
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 7: have a child, blended family. He's a great guy. I mean,

454
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 7: don't get mean, he's a family guy. But seventeen years

455
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 7: weekend drinker doesn't get better. Definitely need some kind of

456
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 7: therapy there. You know, it's just it's a hard situation.

457
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 7: You're six months and you know you have your whole

458
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 7: life ahead of you. It's sometimes it's not worth it.

459
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 7: Now it's gotten better through the years, but you don't

460
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 7: want to wait seventeen years for it to get better,

461
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. Like he's like he has

462
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 7: really calmed down through the years, but you know it

463
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 7: was hardy, nothing but heartache and heartbreak and coming and

464
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 7: going into the house, and then when you have children,

465
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 7: it just makes it even worse because it's just like

466
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 7: you just feel stuck. And I'm a product of a divorce,

467
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 7: you know, divorce parents, and you know I've been through

468
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 7: relationships and whatnot, and it's just it's a hard you

469
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 7: want to make up. I say, Oh, he's a teddy bear,

470
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 7: He's this He's a family guy. He does great things,

471
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 7: very successful, very this, very that. But it's you know,

472
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 7: you're willing to spend the rest of your time with

473
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 7: somebody who just constantly drinks on the weekend. It's it's

474
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 7: never going to change, and they're never going to change,

475
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 7: and you know there's deeper issues there. There's deeper, deeper

476
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 7: issues there, Beyonca.

477
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: You what you're saying resonates with me a little bit.

478
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: And I think probably other people in the room who

479
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: are the product of a divorced family, because because I

480
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: know Caitlin Is, I am Paulina was. It's like, I

481
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 2: think if I were married and I had kids, I

482
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: can tell you that I would and I think in

483
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: some ways it maybe is preventive of me getting into

484
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: a serious relationship. I don't want to be to someone

485
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: else what my parents were to each other at that time,

486
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, like, I don't want to. I

487
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 2: don't want I don't want to be in a situation

488
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 2: where I get divorced. I don't want to be in

489
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: a situation where I have kids and I break up

490
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: the family or the family is broken up by my

491
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: actions are someone else's, And so I think I would

492
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 2: be inclined to stick with things and behaviors and mannerisms

493
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 2: that are unhealthy, and I think this is a trap

494
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: that a lot of people fall into, where it's like, wow,

495
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't want to break up for the kids, I

496
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: don't want to divorcely, but it's like, hey, how long

497
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: can you live like that?

498
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 9: You know?

499
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's very hard.

500
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 9: You know.

501
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 7: I cheer her in my own head here and there.

502
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 7: It's kind of like, but I stuck around this long? Yeah,

503
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 7: why am I going to leave now?

504
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 9: You know?

505
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 7: But I mean, like I said, through the years, that

506
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 7: has gotten a lot better. But you know, you do

507
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 7: suffer through I suffer through a lot of years in

508
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 7: between where I'm like, hey, you know, what the heck

509
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 7: am I doing? You know, like this is not right

510
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 7: and it's not and it's not fair if you're bringing

511
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 7: you know, other little people into the world and they

512
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 7: see that.

513
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, well they see that mom or

514
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: dad isn't happy, and I know you think you're doing

515
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 2: the right thing, but sadly, you know, this stuff does permeate.

516
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: And look, I thank you for sharing. Very brave of you, Bianca,

517
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 2: and I appreciate you calling and for offering your perspective.

518
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: Have a good morning, thank you too. Yeah. Sadly this

519
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 3: is I mean a lot of these calls are the same.

520
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: It's almost universally go yeah, so yeah, Molly, Hi.

521
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 3: Good morning. Hi. How are you hey?

522
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 2: You say good? Thanks for calling for listening. So just

523
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 2: said recap and stair go.

524
00:23:59,480 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 10: Here.

525
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: This woman and she's been with the guy for six months.

526
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: She thinks he's perfect in every way except and these

527
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 2: are my words, but he binge drinks on the weekend,

528
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: and he gets combative, not with her, but with other people.

529
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: He leaves her places, doesn't communicate well when he's reached

530
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: his limits, and you know, she's wondering, is this something

531
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 2: that I need to overlook or that I can overlook?

532
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 2: And I mean overwhelmingly people are saying no.

533
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 12: Right, she absolutely needs to go. So my reasoning is

534
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 12: that since they've only been together for six months, if

535
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 12: the relationship does get any longer, and let's say they

536
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 12: have kids, or they get married, or something happens at

537
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 12: his job and then there's more stressors or his life,

538
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 12: he might start drinking more and with the if he's

539
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 12: already being mister macho man at the bar, like he's

540
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 12: probably going to be physically abusive towards her and she

541
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 12: definitely does not need that in her life.

542
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I hate that she feels that he's perfect

543
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: in every way except for this. And I don't know

544
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: the guy, but that's a big this, you know what

545
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: I mean. He's perfect in every way except he's a

546
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 2: binge drinker and he and it seems like it's somebody

547
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 2: that he wants to deny and and doesn't. Isn't going

548
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 2: to be able to adjust easily that that Unfortunately, that

549
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: means you might deserve more.

550
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: He might not be as perfect as you think.

551
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh that's a big issue.

552
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 8: And then if you bring children into the mix, A

553
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 8: lot of people are saying, you know, they stay for

554
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 8: the kids. The worst thing you can do is say

555
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 8: these situations for your kids.

556
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: I agree.

557
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 8: The kids are traumatized because they're scared of dad on

558
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 8: the weekend.

559
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I agree.

560
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: You know, it's a it's as serious and it's a

561
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 2: sad situation, but you know, six months might be it

562
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: might be more than enough to know that this is

563
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 2: what you're up against and it's sad. Thank you, Mollie,

564
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: thanks for calling, have a good day.

565
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 12: Thanks Love you guys.

566
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: I love you too. I only got time for one more. Sophia,

567
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: you're a therapist as well. Good morning.

568
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: Hi. Yes, I'm so glad that I got through because

569
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 4: I'm never a caller in for the radio, but I

570
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 4: felt like I needed to because I actually have I

571
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 4: am a therapist. But I also have firsthand experience within

572
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 4: my family of this happening where my brother in law

573
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: became somebody that was a drinker and unfortunately he took

574
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 4: it out on my sister and he became physically abusive

575
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 4: and it is very sad situation. One night he drank

576
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 4: too much, he became abusive, and she almost died because

577
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 4: of the situation. So this is just like in my gut,

578
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,919
Speaker 4: like you need to go, Like there is no waiting

579
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 4: for them to get help. You're you're so new in

580
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 4: the relationship, you're going to find another guy that texts

581
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 4: every box and there is no this that you have

582
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: to kind.

583
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 9: Of roll out.

584
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 4: But it's just it's the beginning signs of abuse. If

585
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 4: he's already doing it in public, just when he's get home,

586
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 4: it's going to become even worse because there's no audience.

587
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 4: She needs to go.

588
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Sophia, thank you have a good day. Thank

589
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: you for calling. I hate to say them, and in

590
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: my personal experience too, I think sometimes people need to

591
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: hit rock bottom. They sometimes they need to either stand

592
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: to lose or lose everything absolutely before they can come

593
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 2: to the Sadly, some people that that's not enough either.

594
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 2: But you know, again, the threats aren't going to do

595
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: anything unless you actually follow through with it. And the

596
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 2: truth is if if he feels for you what you

597
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 2: feel for him, then maybe he looks in the mirror

598
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 2: and says, this is a change I need to make

599
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: if I want to be with this person. And if

600
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 2: he doesn't make that change, I think that you then

601
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: learned in six months what you didn't need to take

602
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 2: ten years to learn.

603
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 9: Right.

604
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yes, he.

605
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 5: Has to want something more than he wants to drink.

606
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like it.

607
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: And thanks for the actual professionals for calling, because I

608
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: mean it's unfortunately we've all lived many of us in

609
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: this room have lived there. Yes, but at the same time,

610
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 2: I don't claim to you know, know exactly the path

611
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 2: to take.

612
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: But all right, we'll get back to smut.

613
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: The Entertainer Report is up next and eight hundred bucks
