At what point in a friendship do you have to cut your friend to office and we're not talking about this anymore, like this topic that we have

Arroached forever. Is that the right word they're broached?

We can't talk about this anymore. We're just we're beating a dead horse and her friend is calling her excessively, but at what point do you stop back and like protect your own energy?

Welcome back to a new ask my mom today on the show. Hi, my name is Kramer and I am proud to admit that I am a mama's boy.

Not just any mama's boy, you're a certified mama's boy. And this is the certified mama's boy podcast.

Yeah, this is the certified mama's boy podcast. Hi, welcome to show I'm Steve Kramer. This is a feel good podcast that I do a mom, mom, a mama, a mom, every single day and we're back from the week where the vacation is good to be here.

And we got three principles. We live. We laugh. We love my mom. We live our lives out loud. We laugh a lot and we love my mom. I co-host Nancy. Nancy. Hi, mom.

Hi, honey. Well, here we are. We're back in the old saddle everybody. Everybody's together. Yeah, I forgot yesterday. I was like, we can't really record an episode because it's literally 8 p.m. Your time. So it's not going to do much good, but I just landed

three hours ago, came home to get a quick nap. And now here we are back on the certified mama's boy train. I want to catch up really quick on this whole rental car scam situation.

Did you hear mom? Did you were you able to catch up on the whole story with what happened with that with on Monday's episode?

No, I didn't know when there was a Monday episode. Oh, yeah, there was a Monday episode. Sorry, I checked out.

Like I gave you 10 days off. You can't listen to one 30 minute episode. I know. I didn't think I was back on until now. Well, now you won't know. Now you won't know what happened. You have to go back and listen.

But I got a I got a Instagram message because I was saying at the end of yesterday's episode, I was like, I don't know how illegal that is to use a corporate code that's not yours.

And I just a little as I get from my nap, I just got an Instagram message from I'm not going to say your name, but from someone that listens to his podcast.

Your corporate code scam is completely justified. My old company had a code for Southwest as well as enterprise. And if we didn't hit quota for trips each year, then the discount the following year would reflect that the more the code is used, the better the discount they get they will get.

And that should not care if you're paying in if you're paying in the end. So apparently the more you use these corporate codes, the better discounts they get for the actual employees. So that's good. So you've done a community service.

I really think honest to God, this was a win-win for everybody. I really do. Except maybe hurts. But other than that, I really do think maybe all the way around it was a win-win situation. I thought it was funny. I had no idea.

And then I asked, I was like, I live as such as, oh my God, no idea. She said, yep, I was the one pulling the reports for the company of Southwest one year and dealing with their reps, which was a huge pain. The ass. So she was the one actually dealing with the companies that were getting the corporate code in the first place.

Oh, good resource.

I don't know. It's pretty good. I'm not giving out the corporate code for two reasons. One, I don't feel right about doing that. Do your research.

Number two is that I don't want too many of you using it because then if you use it, and I'm not going to be able to use it for my next trip. So you can do your research like I did, but just I'm sure of you type in IBM corporate code. I will pop up for hurts.

And I don't know. It's interesting because after you were talking about that, one of Jim's buddies who is a certified fan in listens said that when he was in corporate America, that they used the code for someone else all the time throughout the organization.
