Speaker 2 (00:27):
Welcome.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Wait, wait, and Kiki, you have a demographic of fans
that I never knew about. Really it is fifty plus
year old white men. What today? Wait?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Come give me right here.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Every day Fred's show is Jason Rodney tried to kill
you your partner last night? Is that my understanding?

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Yeah, this is a Yeah, it was a couple of
nights ago. But yeah, I decided to, Uh, I am
cooking more, and so I decided to make a debut
and new dish.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And where are you getting these dishes that you're debuting
like magazines?

Speaker 4 (01:09):
No lazymeals dot com? Oh okay, my skill is very low. Okay,
So I go for the easiest of the easy, and
so this one was very easy. I will make anything
into a cast role. Okay, just put anything into a
baking dish or on the oven, but's on top, and
like we're good, right, well I made this guy made
this castle role. And I could just tell like Cafley there,

(01:31):
I was like, I don't know, like this is a
We were having the same issue when you were at
a bachi. Fred was looking at me like this ain't seasoned,
and right, excuse me, excuse me.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
When I was the chef at Benny Hannah a few
weeks ago, all right, and you guys hate the food.
I ate the food later and the food tasted fine,
it was great. It was you need sauce, you need
salt di soy sauce, and problem solved sauce what it
was alright after.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
But in the process I was like, wow, he's getting
like he's close to the finish line and nin't seen
that salt shaking the chicken.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Really frend Show, Good morning, Thanks for having us on
the radio, on the iHeart app Live and anytime search
for the Frends Show on demand. I saw this this morning.
Have any of you or has anyone do you have
a friend that you've never met, like a friend, like
someone that you either like. In this case, this is
the thing I saw this morning. It's on a Reddit.
It was a picture of a man and a woman

(02:27):
together and it said met my internet friend today for
the first time. We started chatting online in two thousand
and one when we were both sixteen. So that that's
what twenty four years ago. Twenty four years ago they
started chatting online. They never met. They kept in touch
for twenty four years. Wow, and they went to an
Iron Maiden concert together. I guess they're Iron Maiden fans. Well, like,

(02:51):
I don't know, is it Is it maybe someone you
talk to, like another branch of your office that you've
talked to you for a long time, never seen, which
I guess in this day and age, it is hard
to do. People can FaceTime or you know whatever, but
video chat all the all the different zoom meetings and
whatever else. But like, I don't know, have you ever
chatted with someone, played video games? You ever had a

(03:11):
pen pal?

Speaker 6 (03:13):
I'd meet friends on Instagram, but then I've ended up
meeting them like a year or so later.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
But I did you meet DM you? They listened to
the show they DM you?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Yeah? Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
And just over time, like realized we had similar interests
and I don't know, I felt like I could trust her,
And then we met up in person and ended up
being a great friend.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
She was an X murderer. Yeah it's a shame. Yeah,
but you still visit her in prison right now? That
your friends.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
Well, if she was an ex murderer, wouldn't I not
be alive to tell the tale?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Well? I think unfortunately she wasn't able.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
To get to you, she spared me.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah, because you were friends.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Well that's how you meet in public always.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I agree, But like, is it one of those things?
Is it like between glass when you go to see her,
or is it like across the table are you able
to like, you know, sit physically or is it is
it like a video chat on the phone. I's like
when you go to see her.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
You know, I usually bake a cake, put some treats
in there for her. Oh you know, it's always her
birthday speak stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Then yeah, yeah yeah, but none of you though, because
I mean this is crazy, like to keep it, I mean,
especially now, And I don't know if these people live
in you know, wildly different parts of the world or
something like, you know, really crazy extreme distance. But I mean,
I just think it's it's amazing to think that people
have been able to keep in touch for this period
of time and never meet. Now. Granted, when you're sixteen,

(04:30):
you meet someone in a video game, you don't have
any money. You know, you're not probably not thinking like, oh,
I'm gonna be talking to this person in twenty five years.
But I just I wonder if this has ever happened
to anybody that's a really long time. It has definitely happened.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
I feel like now like we did the tour, and
that's when I met a lot of the thirteen that
we've been France for all the last two years that
I've been here, and then you finally get to put
a face to the name. But it's a few that
I haven't. Like, there's this one friend online named c Style.
All I know is her Instagram handle. I don't know
her real name, Lady Liftdriver, I don't know her real name.

(05:04):
My friend my friends, so it's like, yeah, like, and
I know those people ride for me on social media,
ride for all of us on social media, but it's
like I've never met them in real life, but I
consider them for ENID.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, I mean, there are radio people that I've chatted
with for years and years and years and never met
in person. Yeah, that's true, but I mean I don't
know if they're friends. Some of them are. There are
people that I see very very rarely, but I know
when I see them, I know what's going on in
their lives because of Facebook. That's the only reason I
still have Facebook's I can quickly scroll through and I
can get the birthdays. I can hit the birthdays quickly,

(05:37):
and then, because that's important, I can I rarely will
message them on Facebook. I'll cheat and I'll go to
Facebook to see if it's the birthday, and then I'll
text them, and then people are like, how did you remember?
I'm on top of it, you know. But then there's
other other people that, like I'll catch up with them
after years and I already know all the things they
are telling me because it's on Facebook, but I know them, Like,

(05:58):
I can't think of anyone who I've been quote unquote
friends with for you know, years and never actually like, met, Hey, Alissa,
you have an internet friend? Really?

Speaker 7 (06:10):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Multiple?

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay? Are you a gamer?

Speaker 8 (06:13):
Like?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
How does this come about?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
No?

Speaker 9 (06:16):
In like twenty seventeen, I was at a friend's house
and used her PlayStation to play a game just once,
and I met people who I really liked, and we
ended up following each other on social media and we
talked pretty often. They give me tips on how to
do my hair or makeup, and I've never met them.
They live in an entirely different state.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Now, what prevents you from just I was gonna say
bags fly free on Southwest, but they don't anymore. So
I mean what prevents you have it on a Spirit
and you know, ducking from you know, ducking for cover
from the you know, fights and wrestling that happen on
Spirit sometimes, and just going to see these people like
it's it's you know, modern air travel is amazing.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (06:53):
Never, genuinely, I've never thought about it. I think I'm
just okay with them being my phone ferns, And I
think it's really common. Are like people in gen Z
to have these friends that they've never met, that they
used or met through socii media or other like gaming.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Okay, Yeah, I mean it's kind of crazy. I think
eventually that my curiosity would get the best of me.
I'd want to meet the people like I'd want to
see that they're real, but I don't know. Maybe it's
boundaried and doesn't really matter.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I just believe them.

Speaker 9 (07:22):
I poose to believe and hope to not get catfished.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, okay, thank you, listen, have a good day. Problem.
This is is a random story, but I I growing up,
I had a family member who and I don't think
they do I don't know what they do anymore. But like,
this person had like a receptionist for their office, but
the receptionist worked in like another office, and you hired

(07:47):
this company to answer the phone for you, but they
like weren't in the same office as you. Oh yeah,
so like this so one and so I would call
this person regularly and the same person would answer the phone.
Never saw this person ever talk to and they were
in the same city, but like they worked in a
different office, and then they would transfer the call or whatever.
Every day for years, this woman I can't remember her name.

(08:08):
And one day I'm in a doctor's office and my
sister's there and my mom's there's a therapist. My parents
are getting divorced, and I hear this woman talking behind
the desk and it's her. It's the woman who's been
answering the phone for years and years and years and years,
and like I was a kid, so it was always oh, hi, Christopher,
this whole thing and my sister. I was watching my
sister for a period of time and she was kind
of acting up and this woman stands up from the

(08:29):
desk and starts screaming at us to like be quiet,
and I like, she didn't obviously know that, like this
little boy who's like birthday she celebrated and all this stuff,
like we'd never seen each other. She had no idea.
We were just disrupting her like work, I guess. And
I wanted to be like, hey, Karen, it's me. You know,
I'm the kid who's been calling to talk to so
and so for you know, years and years, but I

(08:51):
didn't have the heart to do it. But for some reason,
I think about that story all the time because I
was like, because this is back before you would have
any way of knowing what these people look and I
had no idea who this person was. Says, you call
every day and you talked to Hey, can I talk
to so and so? Yeah? Sure, hold on every single
day you make that call, and it's like, here's this person.
And then she screamed at me. So it really hurt
my feelings and upset me. But what's funny. It's like

(09:13):
a few hours later I called talked to this person
and here's the lady. Okay, it's so good to talk
to you. And I'm like, it wasn't two hours screaming
at me. And I know if I'd said something to
her like hey, I think I know you, I'm so
and so, and I would have changed everything. But whatever, Holly, yes, Hi, Holly, alright, Hey, Hi,

(09:35):
it's Holly. Holly. Sit guys, it's Holly. This is exciting
waiting for you. You have an internet friend through gaming
and you've never met this person. What's the story?

Speaker 5 (09:49):
Correct?

Speaker 10 (09:49):
So I've been playing this game it's called The Old
School Room. She I probably played it on and off
for about fifteen years.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
And I hate so many.

Speaker 10 (09:58):
Like internet friends that you've met. I have a friend
in Arizona in the UK, and it's just like a
great like bond that we have with the game. But
you know, we all live in a different like state
or country.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Interesting, and so these these friendships like they you're appeased
by them only going so far, like they don't need
to go much further, like you don't need to run
and meet these folks, like it's it's good enough the
way it is that they could be they could be
anyone doing anything and it doesn't matter because it's just
it's boundary.

Speaker 10 (10:27):
I mean, honestly, if I was like, let's say, for example,
those friend I have an Arizona that plays through the game,
if I were ever to visit, I wouldn't mind saying, hey,
let's you know, meet up, because it's like a bunch
of us that are like, well, I'm in my mid
thirties playing this game, and you know, it's like everyone
resonates because we're in the same age, rage playing this
game for fifteen twenty years, and it's just you know, again,

(10:50):
this is just something that's fun.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah. I think sometimes like the idea of compartmentalizing a
friendship and like having it be in its own lane,
its own little like this is my friend from game
and we talk about some stuff. But like that's the expectation,
because like, maintaining friendships as an adult can be hard,
and I think it's why adults, many adults wind up
with fewer friendships because it's a lot of work. But
now you got this sort of friend but there's no

(11:13):
real expectation and you're you're, you're vibing over the game,
so it's like it's kind of a nice thing. I
don't know. Thank you, Lily.

Speaker 10 (11:20):
Yeah, you don't have to talk about stress and like
all a work sucks. It's just you run on, you play.
You're like, hey, you know, what are you doing the game?
And you're just kind of like making that own little world.
Does that make sense?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Okay, yeah, fair enough? All right, Well thank you, Holly,
thank you. I have a good day. Hey Tris, Hi Tris.
So you have an internet friend group and you're all
meeting this weekend. That's exciting. Well how did you make it?

Speaker 11 (11:47):
Del We met on an online auction website for what shopping?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
What were you bidding on?

Speaker 11 (11:55):
I was bidding on I don't know, craft supplies.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Okay, so you're bidding this like a chat feature in
there or something.

Speaker 11 (12:03):
There's a chat feature, and you know, I kind of
started out with everyone sort of harassing each other, you know,
teeving and thinking on each other and being really inappropriate,
and we all found out we have the same the
credit appropriate sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
You craft is a nasty you know, okay, is it
all women? Is it all women meeting? Trish?

Speaker 11 (12:27):
It's all women, it's for women. Ones in Kansas, ones
in Ohio, I'm in north of Indiana and the last
one in Florida.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
And where are you meeting? And what's the agenda? And yeah,
what what sort of activities are we going to take in?
What sort of shenanigans?

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Well I don't know, that's all.

Speaker 11 (12:43):
We left it all up for chance. So we're all meeting.
I got myself West tickets ahead of time, so I
my bags are flying free.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Hell yeah, you got deadline. That's right now, Schurch. I
have to ask what everybody's wondering. Is there a sexual
component to this?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Well that's to be deterurbined.

Speaker 11 (13:02):
Where left it open?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
Now hold on, I have to ask again, and you
can tell me, you can tell me this is too far,
but you know me. I don't have limits. I have
no filter. Are you are you? Are you a lesbian?
Are you this your interest?

Speaker 9 (13:14):
And it is not.

Speaker 11 (13:15):
I am married and I have three children, who I
tell you never go meet up with people from the internets?

Speaker 1 (13:20):
So down does your husband know that you might go?
And you know, get it on in the day's end somewhere.

Speaker 11 (13:26):
We're all skating at one of their houses, so it'll be.

Speaker 3 (13:29):
Even more ang.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Oh okay, so for all four of you, none of
you have met each other before, and you're all flying
somewhere to meet at and you're going to stay in
a person's home that you've never met. Also, like, so
this is wow.

Speaker 11 (13:42):
Way way outside of my comfort zone. I'm doing it anyway, And.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's happening on Friday Saturday morning. And when do you
get back? When are you supposed to be? Can someone check?
Can one of us have can one of us have
your location? Please?

Speaker 11 (13:59):
My coworkers convinced I'm getting killed?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah? How strong are your organs? I think there might
be some organ harvesting going on here?

Speaker 11 (14:08):
Wow, Emma, I'm the tough one of the groups, so
I have the least amount of fear.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
This is fascinating.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Can we call you back after Yeah, when you get
back midnight Tuesday night.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
I'm going to put you on hold and get your
phone because I want to hear how this. You have
to promise to tell us how this all ends up.
But I want to know if you're if you're straight,
where does the sexual ambiguity? Like, where does where does
that component come in. Have you guys talked about all
like just sort of getting it on together?

Speaker 11 (14:34):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (14:34):
No, we have not.

Speaker 9 (14:36):
I'm not still be any of that.

Speaker 11 (14:38):
I mean she has a wife and teenagers, so she
has a hosband two teenagers.

Speaker 8 (14:43):
So I don't know that it will be gone, but.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
You do have set it down. Like when I said, hey,
crafting friends this weekend and wherever, and I asked you
if there was a sexual component of this. You didn't
say absolutely not. You said to be determined.

Speaker 11 (14:56):
So you never know what can happen, right, I mean,
you don't remember what can happen.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
You just make sure there's a safe word, okay, and also.

Speaker 11 (15:06):
Drinking and shopping most likely you don't know when involved
any you don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Wow. Okay, Well we're gonna put you a whole put
on the calendar to call her on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Either way. I got to know what happens here. You know,
we're praying for you. Okay, thank you? Okay, all right,
in a minute, I want to know why she's a straight,

(15:33):
married woman with a bunch of others straight And I
say to you, is there a sexual component to this visit?
And She's like, I don't.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Know, I love it.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Why don't we know? We do know, We're just not
saying more. She's just open.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Whatever happens, you're gone with the other three cafters.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Man.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
It turned out this weekend she looked at this.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
I thought this was an obscure topic and you guys
are blowing me up. Bethany, good morning, good morning. Hi.
So you have an internet friend and now you're engaged.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (16:02):
So we we met in twenty nineteen. I actually had
I was in another relationship at the time, but we
were in We're both in an online group of people
who work in hotels and he is actually in Australia.
He's Australian and we started talking because he was helping
me with an issue I had with the system at work.

(16:26):
And here we are six years later.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Wow, and you've met.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Oh yeah, I went.

Speaker 12 (16:33):
I lived in Australia for a year because of him,
and he came to visit me like it was COVID.
So we could only talk online for like three years and.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
We met in real life with Bethany ray here. So
what happened after how long of chatting? Did you say
I'm going to Australia to meet you.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Well, he came to.

Speaker 12 (16:53):
Us, he came to America.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Okay, okay, yeah, good for you. Makes hours for Bethany Stone.

Speaker 12 (17:00):
Yeah, I won't be flying there again by myself, that's
for sure, because that was a terrible fight. But yeah,
she came here. I think like three years after we
started talking.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Okay, Wow, so you talk for three years and then
was it every you're engaged now? But like, was it
when you finally saw him after three years of communicating?
Was it everything you hoped it would be?

Speaker 12 (17:24):
Yes, it was a little awkward at first because I
think it was just like so much of a lead up.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
But yeah, a lot of pressure, a lot of pressure
after three years, I would think for you to be
in front of him and him in front of you
and hope that it matches.

Speaker 12 (17:38):
Yeah, luckily it did, because otherwise he I don't know
what would have happened. He was going to be staying
with me for two weeks.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
So, oh my gosh. Well, congratulations and thank you for calling.

Speaker 10 (17:48):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
I have a good day. Okay, Well a lot of
people do this. Karen's Entertainer report is on the pressure.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
For Tea Kay the song that changed everything also sort
of came on expected blowback, and she.

Speaker 3 (18:02):
Says she wouldn't change a thing.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
So while she was talking to Rolling Stone, she reflected
on collaborating with Morgan Wallen on What I Want, her
first and only number one hit, if you can believe that,
and she made it clear that she has zero regrets
about the song. She says country music has always been
part of her world, growing up around it and watching
her brother obsess over the genre. When the chance came
to crossover, she jumped at it simply because she loved

(18:26):
the song, not realizing how much controversy would follow. The reaction,
she admits shocked her also gave her clarity about who
she is and how she wants to move forward as
an artist. She says that she never even met Morgan
in person, but believes criticism is part of growth.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
Regret doesn't help, but learning does.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Fifty Cent told Erry Shepherd that Netflix only gave him
four episodes in that ditty documentary or docuseries I should
say something, he says, led to lots of things being
cut out, including the fact that Diddy allegedly has a
baby with a girl tupac dated and if you have
not watched it yet, that's kind of a theme. If

(19:06):
somebody messes with him, he wants to take their girl.
If somebody has a girl that's more powerful than him,
he wants to take their girl. And fifty says that
once people see others start to speak and come forward,
they get more comfortable to do so, so they start
reaching out.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
But as for a second docu series.

Speaker 6 (19:23):
He said, he'll probably just throw it on YouTube, so
there may be more and it may be just thrown
on YouTube as opposed to a whole Netflix production. As
twenty twenty five wraps up, the year's biggest concert tours
have been tellied and country artists made a strong showing
among the globe's top earners. At the very top of
the overall list, not country, but Coldplay claimed the number

(19:45):
one spot with nearly four hundred and sixty five million
in ticket sales That's Crazy, followed by Beyonce, that Kendrick
and Sissa Tour and.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
The Weekend's Tour.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Post Malone stood out as the highest ranking artist tied
to country, placing in the top ten worldwide thanks to
his blockbuster Big Gass Stadium World tour. Zach Bryan also
landed among the year's top grossing tours with around one
hundred and fifty nine million, drawing in massive crowds on
the road despite a pretty turbulent year off stage. Luke

(20:17):
Culmbs followed with seventy six million across just eleven shows.
You have to keep that in mind, like The Weekend
was touring for like four years, Luke only had eleven
shows and he hit sixty four or seventy six excuse me.
And while George straight he closed out the list with
seventy five million from six powerful shows. So just six

(20:37):
and I feel like he's always in the conversation for
these high grossing tours. Speaking of country, Billboard crown to
Kenny Chesney as the top Country Artist of the Year,
Chris Stapleton's Traveler as the top Country album, and bb
REXA and Florida Georgia Lines Meant to Be as the
top country song of the century so far.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
So I guess they're doing that one for the cent tree.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
By the way, if you miss any part of our
show you want to catch up, it's all up on
the free I heard radio app just searched the frend
show on demand.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Bellah mean, did you dirty? Oh my god, did you dirty?
She Bellahamine did something that you just cannot do. You
cannot do it, can't do what Belahamen did. Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I can't shake it.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Are you able to talk about it? I'll try.

Speaker 3 (21:24):
It's still a little traumatic.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, go ahead, please?

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
So did you get a spray? Tim? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (21:32):
I can tell you were looking at me. I look like,
who am I pig pen or play pen?

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Well, pig pen. But I didn't say that. I don't
think you're a big pen at all. I would I
would never say that. You're the little kid with the
flies in the dirt that surrounded him in a cartoon
around in mud.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
He's the dirty one.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
That's what I look like. The peanut, isn't the peanuts?

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah missed that day? Cool? You missed the peanuts.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
I never want I know what they are because of you.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
Snoopy, Yes, the.

Speaker 3 (22:04):
Peanuts, Peanuts, But it was more than just Snoopy.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
The kids are called the peanuts. Well yeah, the group
of people. Yeah, got it? Okay. And so he had
like always had dirt around him and like looked like
little flies, and for some reason he was balding. I
don't know why. I'm not sure why. The child was balding,
but I got you.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
I got you.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Where the hell were you growing up? Did you? Were
you on Mars? Do you know how to get back?

Speaker 4 (22:28):
And maybe no one showed me this, but honestly, I'm
kind of okay with it because it looks terrifying.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Well that's what looks like right now.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
But anyways, so Bella mean earlier in the week, and
we love her.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
So much, she's after this.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
Well, she betrayed me, but that's fine.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
So she asked me a couple of days ago if
she could get some what she called adult advice. I
thought we were both adults, but hey, listen, I will
be your big radio sister, and I said, of course, Like,
not the issue at all. She said, okay, can I
call you? Of course, not the issue at all. She
then seeds to FaceTime me a surprise FaceTime, surprise face time,

(23:06):
and I looked at it frozen. We're not frozen, because
by I call it my witching hour, between like two
and three, it's really hard for us.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
I don't know if you guys feel the same way.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
With just right, we're talking about PM, when you start
your day at four am. Then the two to three
pm is typically difficult.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
Yeah, I had no makeup on, no braun, fighting for
my life looked rough and there's a certain level of
energy it takes to look at someone in the eye
the entire conversation. So I was frozen, didn't know what
to do. But I'm like, okay, she needs me, so
I answer And I said, Bella, this is not the
same as a phone call.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
She said, what do you mean.

Speaker 6 (23:45):
My sister and my mom say that to me all
the time, and I'm like, because they're right. A FaceTime
is very different than a phone call. And these kids,
they they think a FaceTime is always acceptable.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
You do not surprise ambush face time someone under any circumstances.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
You and I know that any circumstances.

Speaker 6 (24:03):
And it's just like when you're on the phone, you
can you can do other things, you can lounge.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
I mean, I could be doing anything and you would
never know.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
But to have to have the energy to stare at
someone the entire phone call, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
And I don't have to prepare myself. You want to
have a face timely? Yeah, I have. This happened to
me the other night where somebody was like, who I
didn't really know very well. Was like texting and then
all of a sudden, we're texting and then out of
nowhere and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa. In the fifties
and you're in a newsroom. It was Morse code. They

(24:40):
were morse coding me. We were communicating, like, that's what
we were doing. We were communicating in morse code. I
don't want to want to know what I'm saying to people. Man,
no one's using morse code anymore. I don't trust the phone.
I don't trust the phone. No one's on morse code.
That's right. That's where I share all my secrets.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
So someone's surprise face right, And I.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Was like, oh no, no you didn't because I was
laying in bed. It may have been too early in
the day for that. I wasn't prepared. I mean, I've
been wearing a lot of clothing. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
what who do you think you are?

Speaker 6 (25:15):
There used to be a calendar invite if you want
to face like, this is crazy these kids and they're
just just going and they're just face timing anyone what.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I feel judged because every time my niece Polly calls me,
every time, it seems like I'm in bed, and finally
she goes, Baba, why are you in bed? And it's
like four, you know, and I'm like, Polly, why are
you gripa joe called seasonal depression. You don't know anything
about this yet.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
I don't get enough sleep, Polly, I'm depressed.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, you just don't do so. Now it's funny now
when my four year old niece facetimes me, I get
out of bed so that she doesn't think that her
uncle is a total loser. Yeah, which I want her
to believe a lie. I want her to believe that
I'm not a loser. I really do, of which, And
I wonder how many of you can relate to this,
because I know Kiki can eight five five five one

(26:05):
one oh three five you can call it text the
same number. My sister is limiting access to the child ooh,
to the children. Really Now Polly's four, and then Mave
is one, and May just says dad An smiles a lot,
which is that's cute. But I give about thirty seconds
to that. I'm all set. There's only so much has
thing and go maybe maybe, and then she says eh,
and then like stick something in her mouth and it
really goes on like on her you know, cheek and

(26:27):
it's okay, got it. But Polly can have like she
has like full on thoughts and communication now like full on.
I don't know where she comes up with these concepts,
no idea. So I FaceTime yesterday and my sister talks
to me for like ten minutes. And when I FaceTime,
it's to see the child. I want to see Polly. Okay,
I'm not fake. I'm sorry.

Speaker 8 (26:43):
Man.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
I've known you for thirty six years. I love you. You're wonderful.
I see I know what you look like. And I'm
laying in bed. I had no actually no, I had
to get out of bed because I was preparing for
the call with the four year old. So I had
to make sure I showered and look to you like
a profession. I usually put on a tie so it
looks like it's chef like. You know, it's a formal occasion.
You know that tux I wanned I'd put that on, yes,
so I wanted to think that I'm like a waiter

(27:05):
at a restaurant or you know, something respectable. And and
so we talked for like ten minutes and she's like, okay,
by I'm like no wa whoa whoa. She goes, oh,
you want to see Polly, and then she gets you
the phone. And then now Polly's engaged. And sometimes Polly's
on the mood. That's another thing. If Polly's on the mood,
we're not getting anywhere, we're not doing anything, and god
forbid we would force the child or even encourage the

(27:27):
child to speak to their uncle. Polly's in the mood. Okay,
all right, So anyway, so Polly's in the mood today,
so she grabs the phone, takes me into her little fort.
We're having a heart to heart lasts about two minutes.
All of a sudden you see a hand swipe the phone. Okay,
we're gonna get going now. And I know whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I put this tux on. So I want to speak

(27:48):
to the child. But I wonder is like, is it
because as adults with kids, you're tired of being usurped
for the children? Is it because like, I don't know what?
Why am I being limited? Act says to my niece,
Why am I when my mom is the same way,
It's like only so much time, you only get so
much time, and you want me to pay for college.

(28:10):
I don't think so. I'm gonna need a little more
access in my investment. You will to my investment. But
I mean, does this Do you do this to your No,
you don't because you need them for childcare.

Speaker 8 (28:19):
Oh, I say, you know you want to talk. You
guys can yap all day all night.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Pauline, It's like you should come over and do that,
and when you do, I might step out.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Oh, I'm at my mom's door. I'm at the door
with the baby.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Oh you wanted to see Gigia. Here she is all yours.
It just so happens. I was waiting outside for you
to ask yes. And I'm going to owe and hear
her diapers and food and enough rations for the next
four days. I'll see you later.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yep, I am equipped I said, here you go.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
No.

Speaker 8 (28:44):
I mean, like, my daughter's also younger, so when she
does FaceTime my mom or my mother in law, she
hangs up on them, so I have to run back
and call them back. So it's like a process. I
don't think Polly does that right. I'm assuming she's she's
good with the phone.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Well, I get a little bit of whiplash. I get
a little dizzy. You know, we saw it, We're not
We're not exactly sure how you know exactly where to look.
And then we kind of stare at ourselves the whole time,
which is fine, make a double chin. Yeah, we's a
lot of that, and then we run around with it
a little bit too.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (29:15):
I feel like I love when my baby talks to
people on FaceTime because we have that, Like back in
the day, that wasn't an option. And obviously your your
you know grandma, right, Polly's grandma. Your mom doesn't live
here or with them, neither, do you be?

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Guys? Are all you know, different towns, different lives.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Someone texted, No, it's because my sister wanted her phone back.
Probably could be.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
It's probably another option.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
We'll see. Maybe I'll buy the Maybe I'll do a
Kiki set, and I will buy her a phone that
only facetimes and uses the internet, and as we've learned
on the show, that doesn't call nine one one, because
apparently a lot of phones that you think don't work
will still call nine one one. Oh yeah, And as
much as I love a story about a kid who
orders donuts from the cops. I don't need it to
be my knees, right, Yeah, unless it's a way more

(29:55):
creative request. Polly would ask for something more. You know,
if she would be like you, she wouldn't even she
wouldn't be donuts, you'd be specific donuts. She's a picky
little kid. I mean she she knows, she knows the
finer things. Yes, she would call the cobs and be like,
mom won't buy me, you know, something very specific and
they have to bring over. But I'm not looking to
be in the news.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
There was another kid the other day who called nine
one one because his mom ate his ice cream.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
It was hilarious. There you go.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
They showed up. Yeah, he explained like, yeah, I want
her to go to jail. Yeah ice cream.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeahah.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
He saved her in the end before she had to
go to jail.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
Business and they was thinking about it child abuse. Yeah,
if I ate the ice cream in front of the child,
how could you. There was a similar thing that happened
yesterday when Bella facetimes Klein. The authorities were involved. They're like,
oh my god, would you like us to arrest her
for this offense.

Speaker 6 (30:44):
I'm glad you guys agree because I didn't know if
it was generational or if I just don't enjoy being
sneak attacked with a FaceTime it's abuse, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
Held her abuse.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
I also respect. What is this one? This is what
I think it is if if they're with the same people,
you don't have to look at them consistently, you know
what they look like. Yeah, No, I'm the one. I
don't understand that the people who have like drinks drink nights,
like with their friends, like if their friends don't live somewhere,
so they'll get on FaceTime and they'll be on there.
They'll be on there for like four hours together, and

(31:14):
they're going about their day like the facetime's on, but
they're you know, doing dishes and doing laundry and you know,
waxing themselves and god knows what. I'll take it a
shower and it's like, but the face times on the
whole time, and it's somehow that you're going to capture.
I'm gonna forget that the FaceTime is on and do
something and you're gonna see something that you didn't want
to see. I don't I'm not interested. Hey Ashley, Hi, Hi,

(31:39):
good morning.

Speaker 13 (31:41):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
How are you very well? Thanks for coming me. What
you got pro tip for me on the FaceTime with
the kids.

Speaker 13 (31:47):
So I'm nine months pregnant at this point.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Oh congratulations, wants FaceTime?

Speaker 10 (31:52):
Thank you.

Speaker 13 (31:53):
When someone wants to FaceTime with my father, that's fantastic
because I could do something else during that time. Just
last week, my mom's facetiming with my daughter for multiple
hours and I go to check on them and I
hear no talking. They're just staring at each other. Well,
my mom's like eating cereal or something, and the winter's
just staring right back at her.

Speaker 14 (32:13):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'll be fine with that.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
That's cute.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
I'd be fine with that. Like, that's a FaceTime I
can do. Bus I already you know, I already got
a facial and put the tucks on and got my
eyebrows wax and everything for this call. So like we
need to make it count. You know, Pauline needs to
know that her uncle's not a total loser. At least pretend.
Thank you, Ashley, have a good day. Of course, other
text my kids FaceTime their grandma and pop up twice

(32:37):
every night. Wow, Okay, how about an iPad? Someone said,
I pad, you can get FaceTime on it there you go.
I think that's what needs to happen. I need to
sneak it. And you guys said this earlier, though, I
need to sneak it in like prison. I'll have to
like I'll have to like stick it in my butt
and sneak it in the house. Well, that's how you
sneak stuf into prison. And then I'll have to like,

(32:59):
you know, hide it somewhere and be like, all right, Polly,
don't show your mom. Her mom's gonna find a whole
ass iPad somewhere and be like, where did this come from?
Gave it to me? Is what she's gonna say, Oh,
you mean you mean by Oh? Now that's never know.
We need to change that idea more fread show. Next,

Truth?

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I made an apployment today with I rubbed a few
pennies together, and you know, I want to apologize. I've
been enjoying you. You think that's what it is? You think?
Do you think that it's not actually bigger, you're just skinnier.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Yes, people do say that when you lose weight, it
looks a little bigger.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
But I would think you would lose weight everywhere including there.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
Well, there's no is there.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
There's a way to be lost there. Yeah, thank you,
it's muscle.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
But I don't know you had a fanny.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Ever been left waiting by the phone. It's the fread Show.
Hey Greg, good morning, welcome to the program. How are
you great man? Thanks for having me this guy? He
sounds very positive for a guy. Who I mean, you
were ghosted, bro, Like you're not sad about it. I mean,
I guess you're sad enough that you want some answers.
I am sad.

Speaker 7 (35:12):
I mean, come on, I'm a little let down, but
I'm a pretty confident guy.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Well, I hear that. You hear this? Yeah, yeah, Grant
is a confident man. So what happened here? We are
confident that maybe you got ghosted, but what happened with Natalie?
We got to know how you met. I want to
hear about any dates you've been on, and then why
you think go? You know we were here?

Speaker 7 (35:30):
Okay, Well I met Natalie the way you mostly meet
people nowadays online of course, on an app. We matched
and we got to talking back and forth. I asked
her out. Things went great. We had a really amazing date.
And I know that date was amazing because I wouldn't
normally reveal this, but we ended up, you know, cooking up.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Yeah, he wouldn't normally kiss and tell granted, no, granted,
but he's sadly the kind of guy that wouldn't normally
kiss and tell, but in this case for context, I
appreciate that. Thank you for this, Yeah, thank you made transparency.
Yeah yeah, and congratulations by the way as well.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
Well, first off, thank you, And it's important because it
went well. I mean that normally is a sign that
things are, you know, going good for you. And let
me tell you, we had a really good time.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
So that's what you did. But okay, no, you had
a good time, all right, So you're confused.

Speaker 7 (36:21):
I am confused. Why she's not hitting me back. I
can't reach her anymore. I just I have no idea
why she's not Like we're answering my calls.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
It's weird.

Speaker 7 (36:31):
I can't think of anything that went wrong, not one thing.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Then I don't know. Then maybe this is going to
be very easy. We call her, she's like, I've been busy.
I want to go out with you again. You were
such a stud, and then we pay for it, you
get a free date. Maybe that's what this is, probably not,
but we have no idea and I can't do here.
I honestly can't wait. I'm gonna hurry up and play
a song. We'll come back in a couple of minutes,
Grant will call Natalie. You'll be on the phone. We'll

(36:54):
ask some questions on your behalf, and the hope is
just that that we can straighten things out as I
want another date and pay for it. Hey, Grant, Yes, sir,
let's call Natalie. You guys, you met on one of
the apps, you went on a date. You felt the
date was very successful. I believe it. He just said
a second ago that he couldn't come up with one flaw,

(37:14):
that one about the date, and then he very humbly
shared with us that there was a h you know,
some physicality on the date as well. He doesn't normally
tell people that Grant doesn't, but he did. He wanted
us to know because it's just like, you know, we
got to I will say, though, you know, if that happens,
that's usually a pretty good sign. And you might think
you're gonna hear from someone again, but you didn't hear

(37:35):
from Natalie. So we're gonna call her now and see
if we can straighten this out. Good luck, Thank you.

Speaker 14 (37:46):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
This is Natalie. Yes, Nataliehi, good morning. My name is Fred.
I'm calling from the Fred's Show, the Morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
a radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can we chat for just
a second on the air, would you mind? You can
hang up any time?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Oh wow, what are we talking about?

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah? I know, and thank you very much. We appreciate
you and your patients. Here we're actually talking about a
guy named Grant, who I guess you went on a
date with. Do you remember him?

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Less confidence from her there than him. But we just
talked to Grant, Natalie, and he had a lot of
nice things to say about you, and he felt that
the date that you guys went on was successful. I'm
guessing that you don't feel the same way, because he
did admit that he can't get a hold of you
and he was hoping that we can help him find
out why. What's your side of the story.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
I mean, it's all pretty embarrassing. But we did have
a good time. It was fun. We have chemistry, We
did have drinks and we were just vibing and we
ended up going back to his place and we hooked up.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
That'll check out.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah yeah, yeah, So at that point it seemed fine.
But the issue really came when we were saying goodbye,
and I realized he's.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
He's a total douche. What did he do?

Speaker 2 (39:09):
So during our hook up, I did something for him specifically,
and he did nothing for me.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
No, he love mister Covina grant Man. Come on, bro,
all right, all right, okay?

Speaker 3 (39:23):
Is that is that the issue?

Speaker 1 (39:25):
You know?

Speaker 2 (39:26):
It wasn't so much at that time, but when he
was hugging me to say bye, he whispered in my
ear and he said, we have to work on your
skills a little, some pointers.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yoh, yoh. You he never do that nice. He tried
to do a good deed in the first of all. See,
I mean, that's not something you say to somebody. Maybe
you get to a point where we can give a
little direction, but that's not there. And then if you

(40:00):
didn't do anything, okay, let me bring Grant in. I
get still caught up in the story. I forget that part.
Granted is here. Dude, she did something nice for you.
You didn't do anything for her. You don't talk to you,
don't do that.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
But listen, I don't understand why Natalie's so upset.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
I'm just being honest with her. I'm one of those
guys where I don't lie to the woman that I'm with.

Speaker 7 (40:25):
I just wanted to offer him.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Sometimes we don't need the honesty. Bro, Come on, what's
the big deal. If you expect to see a woman
again or a man, then what you don't do is
after they did something that they thought you would enjoy,
you don't tell it that they weren't good. Well, you
didn't enjoy it enough, apparently because you had to let
her know if you enjoyed it, then keep your mouth shut.
And he did it? Yeah? Oh wow, I mean okay,

(40:53):
let me ask you, I still want to hang out. Well,
that remains to be seen, but let me ask you.
Then grant mister confidence. So let's say you had decided
to give a little of yourself as opposed to just
taking and right, and then she says to you, that
wasn't that good? What I mean, it wasn't good enough,
like you know, hopefully you get better at it, like
you wouldn't like that. Here's the thing, though, I know

(41:15):
I'm good at that. Oh yeah, you know what, which
means he's not, which means he's not good at what
I do. I'm telling you, If you're so good, then
why don't you do it? Yeah? Right, Like, if I
think I'm good at something, then I'm going to make
sure that I do that thing so that you can
see that I'm good at it and say I'm good, right,
and then hopefully you know, add a little value. So
if you're so good at it, then why don't you

(41:36):
do it?

Speaker 10 (41:36):
Well?

Speaker 1 (41:37):
I would love the opportunity to do it if you
had it. You had the opportunity.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
So she's not good.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
You wanted to tell her that, but you do want
to see her again and you want to let her
do that thing to you again.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
But you're really good. You want to give her the
gift of grant, is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
You know what, man, I look, I was just trying
to be honest.

Speaker 7 (41:57):
I thought that's what people wanted, especially women, they say
all the time on the midline. I was just trying
to offer some some honesty.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
Whether out in the hall you want to do that
read the room you just met, you just met, like,
it's not it said maybe in time, ladies, you can
tell me, ladies, And Jason, maybe in time, like you
coach someone like if you like him enough and there's
enough of a foundation there with that, then you can
sort of direct them towards something that you would like.
But there's a way to do that, and it takes time.

(42:25):
You don't just deflate someone because Natalie, I assume that
you you you, you were just doing what you thought
he would enjoy and kind of going with it, and
obviously it takes time to you cannot judge someone on
the first time. I want to go out here again?
Well okay, Well then you didn't go about it the
right way.

Speaker 9 (42:43):
You don't.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
You don't tell someone that they're not good at something
and then ask to see them and have them do
it again. To Callon's point, Look, I'll ask the question, Natalie.
I think I know the answer. But would you like
to go out with Grant again? We'll pay for it.
I mean, apparently he's good and a lot of stuff
he just didn't show you, but he'd like to show you.
And you're not that good, but he'd like it again,
and so which makes a ton of sense. You're not
helping near you, right, girl, I don't like it, Go

(43:08):
out and get yours, don't don't. Don't get mad at me,
bro And yeah, Natalie, would you like to see him again?

Speaker 2 (43:14):
No? This is perfect closure.

Speaker 10 (43:16):
I appreciate.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Grand Grant, you got it. Sometimes you gotta gonna have
to keep that mouth of yours well hold on. Sometimes
you need to open it and then sometimes you need
to shut it. And you're not doing it in the
right order exactly. Man.

Speaker 7 (43:28):
I think Natalie's making a big mistake.

Speaker 13 (43:30):
I have a lot to offer a do it's good.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
I don't know, dam but Natalie, thank you so much
for your time and for answering and Grant good luck
to you.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Calin's entertainment report is on the Press Show.

Speaker 6 (43:45):
The past forty eight hours have brought a very wild
sequence of events for Michigan football and this just.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Keeps trickling out.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
And there may not be just one person, but this
is all legend, so I can only speak on facts.
If you under a rock by now you've heard that
head coach Sharon Moore was fired Wednesday, with the University
of Michigan saying they found evidence that he had a
very inappropriate relationship with a staffer. Yesterday, the interim Michigan
president sent a message to students and faculty members with

(44:17):
an update on his firing. He said the investigation is
still ongoing and asked for anyone with more info to call.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
I mean, I've seen people with more info on the.

Speaker 6 (44:28):
Internet, certainly, I mean all alleged right now, but it
doesn't look good. Meanwhile, Michigan athletic director Ward Manual has
not been fired despite reports.

Speaker 3 (44:40):
So I don't know if you saw that, but as
far as I've checked, that's not true.

Speaker 6 (44:43):
Late Wednesday evening, Saleine police detained Sharon earlier in the day.
He was then transferred to the Washtonaw County Jail, where
he was being held for an assault investigation. As of yesterday,
he was still in jail waiting to be arraigned, likely today.
He coached the Wolverines full time from twenty twenty four
to twenty five, leading Michigan to a seventeen to eight

(45:06):
record over those two seasons, with four games coached as
an interim in twenty twenty three and two game suspension
in twenty twenty five. The Wolverines went nine to three
in the twenty twenty five regular season. They're set to
play the Longhorns in the cheese At Bowl. No, She's
at Citrus Bowl. I love these bull names. On December
thirty first, couldn't have happened to a nicer fan base.

(45:29):
Moving on, to Real Housewife Jenshaw, she couldn't contain her
emotions and I bet as she returned or reunited, I
should say with friends and family.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City alum was grinning
as she greeted.

Speaker 6 (45:43):
She was greeted with flowers and hugs from her loved
ones at the Salt Lake City International Airport in Utah
this week. She had just landed after traveling from Texas,
where she was incarcerated at a federal prison there. Her
return to Utah coms just one day after she was
released from prison despite survying only half her sentence. I
guess she was being transferred to community confinement overseen by

(46:06):
the Bureau of Prisons Phoenix Residential re Entry Management Office.
Community confinement means that the inmate is either in home
confinement or a residential re entry center aka a halfway house.
Despite her early release, she still has five years of
post release supervision, which includes drug and alcohol testing and

(46:26):
an outpatient mental health program.

Speaker 3 (46:28):
Back in twenty twenty one, Gen.

Speaker 6 (46:30):
Was arrested live literally on The Real Housewives like they
were about to leave for a cast trip and the
Feds pull up and they thought it was like fake
but it was very much real, and she was charged
with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in
connection with a nationwide Tella marketing scheme aka she was
stealing money.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
From older people and scamming vulnerable people. It was really sad.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
After initially standing by her innocence, she pled guilty and
she got locked up.

Speaker 3 (46:59):
So there you go.

Speaker 6 (47:00):
I heard she was doing housewife plays in prison too,
which is kind of crazy. It's the end of an Era, y'all,
but the start of a streaming marathon for Swifties with
Taylor Swift's highly anticipated End of an Era docuseriies. It's
officially out just a day before her thirty sixth birthday,
that's tomorrow. The first two episodes of the End of
an Era hit Disney Plus at midnight, so those are out,

(47:23):
followed by two more episodes every Friday through December twenty
six Mary Early Christmas to My Swifties plus her Taylor
Swift The Eras Tour. The Final Show concert film will
feature footage her full footage from her final Eras performance
in Vancouver that's also out now, and that has the
Tortured Poets Department you know era in there as well,

(47:44):
which we have.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Not seen on video.

Speaker 6 (47:47):
And if you went to the beginning of the tour
like Jason and I did, then you did not see
that live. Since both projects are Disney Plus exclusives, you're
going to need a membership with this streaming service to watch.
Plans start at eleven ninety nine a month with ads,
and for one more dollar you can bundle.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
I think this is what I did with Hulu, HBO
Max or ESPN Plus. So if you want to do that,
that's how you got to watch it.

Speaker 6 (48:10):
If you missed any part of our show, by the way,
you can catch up on everything on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Just search be Fred Show on Demand.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Thanks for having us on the radio. On the iHeart

Well this is from Reddit's weddings shaming forum. Paulina sent
me this eight five, five, five nine to one one
o three five. You can call it text the same numbers,
so can you. I want to hear from both perspectives.
Maybe you've had to do this before, but since the

(48:38):
COVID nineteen pandemic, there is a couple that was getting
married and another couple. I guess that had been hanging
out at least once a month. The four live in
the same city and spent a lot of time together.
This is my version of Morality Monday. By the way,
this is from Morality Monday Radio. So it wasn't surprising
when the bride and room sent this couple save the

(49:00):
date a year in advance, and then the wedding invitation,
which was addressed to each of them three months ago,
and then suddenly, with the wedding just a month away,
the groom informed the partner that I guess, of the
other couple, one of the partners that they would no
longer be getting a plus one. So now the couple's
not a couple anymore, it's just the person. I guess

(49:22):
one of the people gets to go now, even though
because I guess, that's how you normally can tell is
that wedding invitation will say both names or name plus guest,
and if you're not sure then you should just ask,
which can be awkward, but I would. I think it's
much better if you ask, then show up with somebody
and nobody was expecting that. That's really bad. So anyway,
so they come back and say I'm sorry, but only

(49:44):
you can come now your partner can't come. Unfortunately, this
is the quote I was having my invite rescinded as
they have declared that all plus ones have to be
engaged or married. And the person later explained I and
several other girl boyfriends have been removed from the attendee list,
and even some of their aunts and uncles are being
told that their partners can't attend anymore. When ask why,

(50:06):
they have supposedly decided that they want their day to
be a true celebration of love and therefore only want
committed couples in attendance.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Oh, that is so ugly.

Speaker 8 (50:16):
That is so ugly to say to somebody, or to
like not in by someone because they're not married or engaged. Like, yes,
as a married woman, obviously I took my commitment to
that level.

Speaker 3 (50:25):
But that doesn't mean that's for everybody.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
So have you ever had to uninvite someone or like,
I mean, maybe there were too many people that are
SVP because I've never been married, but I have to
assume I don't know, if you've got one hundred spots,
maybe you invite one hundred and thirty people or one
hundred and twenty people. You assume there's a certain number
of people that won't are SVP right, they won't show up. True,
So but then what if everybody's like, oh, I want
to go wedding of the century or it's historic friends

(50:50):
getting married. We never thought this would happen. I have
to see you with my own eyes. And so I
get one hundred percent attendance, and now all of a sudden,
I'm too many. I'm over. I feel like that's I
got to figure out now exactly right, Like I need
to figure out how to accommodate that. Because I invited you.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Well up a table, get more chairs out right more.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Tell lady break back into the mall, give him a
cin of bunch and then get them ready for us.
Warm them up. Let's do it, you know, send Kiky
to KMC. Get in there. You know you remember, get
to work. I'm sure it's just like riding a bike.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
I really think you know that. I think that I
can still move the line.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
Yeah, yeah, I know that. You were very proud of that.

Speaker 15 (51:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
I feel like I can still hold it down.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
But I mean you can't. You cannot uninvite people you've
already invited. It's so weird. And because it's a celebration
of love. Well, you guys are getting married. You weren't
married until now, So then why I'm celebrating love too
with the person that I may marry someday, right right, Yeah,
you cannot you can't at the last minute, just saying no, sorry,

(51:49):
you can't come anymore.

Speaker 8 (51:50):
Yeah, uninviting somebody is so weird, Like you have to
have a big reason to uninvite somebody.

Speaker 3 (51:54):
I'm talking like we're about to fistfight, so you can't come.

Speaker 1 (51:57):
Yeah. So people are saying that they didn't think they
committed couples made any sense considering they've been in a
serious relationship with their partner for nine years, which is
three years longer than the bride and groom. And again,
if it's a money thing, like if there are enough
spots or something, then don't you then either have to
adjust or don't. I don't think you just calm people
up and say I've.

Speaker 5 (52:18):
Heard of this happening before invitations are sent out. So
like when you're making your guests list, you're like, you
know what, We're only gonna give plus once to married couples.
You know, I've heard of that. But to send out
invites and then rescind. The offer is a diabolical likely yes,
and it's very teching, it's very cheap. And if I
was our friend, I would text all the other single

(52:40):
people that are invited and like, let's take.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
A stand stage a cool yeah, let's we're going somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
If all of us or none of us exactly, and
we're canceling the gift card, recenture or whatever whatever it is,
send the china back exactly. People still do that. Someone
texted two one night. What about the love of friendship?
They don't want to celebrate their man is with the
love of their friends simply because they might be single. Well,
that's the thing. And how about that friendship? Like that

(53:07):
friendship is over because yeah, right, which one of us
gets to go? And why well, how did you pick
one over the other? Huh huh? And then how are
we supposed to hang out? You know and like go
to Applebee's on Friday night or whatever and do it
and we'll do whatever. Hey, Maddie, good morning, bye, good morning.

(53:28):
So you're doing this. You're only inviting committed people.

Speaker 10 (53:31):
To the wedding, yes, and so not that they have
to be engaged or married. If they're a long term relationship.
I'm more than happy to have them have a guest
come to the wedding.

Speaker 14 (53:42):
But if it's like all my single friends gonna plus
one and then they just bring random people who I've
never met or they have no intention of staying in
a relationship with them for.

Speaker 10 (53:53):
The sake of just a plus one to the wedding,
then no.

Speaker 1 (53:57):
So I'm with you on that. I kind of been
with you on that. Like, if it is you know
what is your expensive money is tight? If I have
five single friends, now I don't I don't know that
I would actually do this, Maddie. But if I mean
in theory, I understand what you're saying. If I had
five single friends that aren't dating anybody, and let's say
it's I don't know how much of plate, I'm just
making this up. I'm making this up, whatever it is.
And so you're just gonna get on Tinder or Hinge

(54:19):
or or you know, bumble or whatever, and you're gonna
match with somebody and invite them and they're gonna come
to the wedding. I've never met you, you have no context,
you don't know anybody there, and I got to pay
for that simply because you don't want to come buy yourself.
I know, I kind of feel you on that. Actually, yeah,
yeah right, I mean no, no, I mean.

Speaker 14 (54:38):
It's like it's about one hundred and twenty bucks a plate, ye,
averaging kind of.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
So so if I had ten single friends and you
all invite people, I'm never gonna see it again. That's
a g that I gotta pay for your Tinder date,
you know what, I know. I actually I kind of
see what you're saying with that. But the difference here, though, Maddie,
is that you're establishing that from the beginning. You're saying, hey,
if you're not seeing somebody, you don't get a plus one,
and you're sending the invitation Accordingly, these people just went

(55:04):
back and you know, selectively then removed people from the
invitation list at the last minute because they didn't approve
of the I don't know, they weren't together long enough
for something. You can't do that.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
No, I agree with that that you cannot do.

Speaker 1 (55:19):
All right, Well, Maddie, congratulations. I hope your wedding's great.
I hope your single friends still like you afterwards.

Speaker 8 (55:23):
Oh no, glad you called by, see, But like I personally, Like,
I know, my single friends are my friends longer than
I've even known my fiance who's not my.

Speaker 3 (55:33):
Husband, right, So like I want them at my wedding.
Those are my people, Like they've seen me through my
worst and my best.

Speaker 8 (55:39):
So I want them they're single or not, and I will,
I will cough up the money the little one hundred
and twenty dollars plate, you know, for their tender date,
if that's what they're going to bring. But to be honest,
you most of my friends wouldn't bring a tender date.
If they were going to bring somebody, they bring somebody
that they're seeing. If not, I think they're comfort enough
to come alone.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
We'll see you have fun with them. I think it's
about the guests, like you know, comfort too, Like who
wants to go?

Speaker 1 (56:00):
Like, I don't know. I feel like I'm right, you know,
like or at least.

Speaker 3 (56:03):
Give somebody that option, right, that's your choice.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
You know, I'm gonna do it like you did it, Pauline.
Except even because so Paulina got married a couple of
years ago, she got married in Vegas. Yes I did, Okay,
So it was a destination wedding was it was a
good time.

Speaker 3 (56:13):
Thank you, the iconic with a little wite wedding chapel.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Yeah, it was the Elvis thing and then the you
know the.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Guy who put it in the air with the eyebrow.
He said, we're all.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Married, and then I want a g move. You rented
the private room at Magiano's, which I couldn't have been
happier because I remember what I ate at your wedding.
I mean too, I don't care anybody says I remember
what I ate at your wedding. I don't. I don't
remember when I ate at my sister's wedding and some caterer,
Oh no, they were coming out with all the classics.

Speaker 3 (56:38):
Yeah, oh the zucchini. Was still talk about the zucchini
to this day.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
I was excited. But I see what you did because
it's like, well, it's a commitment to go. You had
to buy airline ticket, you know, you had to, and
you were probably less likely to get rip for affort
your wedding because it was just going to take that
much more effort. I am going to get married somewhere
way further away. If I ever get married, I'm thinking, yes, yes,

(57:01):
I'm thinking as far away as possible. It's like, ooh,
you know, and then the people that I don't want
to go, they're not going to make the effort. And
then that you got invited because I'm a little bit
I'm in my you know, early to mid forties, and
which means I know a lot of people, which means
if I ever got married, then I would have It
would be a very difficult process to figure out who
gets to come and who doesn't, because you know, you
get a certain part in your life. I think everybody

(57:22):
in this room could could relate to this. Everybody that
you know things they should be at your big stuff,
but yet you don't. You may not think that about them.
Problems solved. I'm getting married on an island in the
middle of the Pacific. You've now I'm getting married in Guam.
Do you know where that is? Absolutely?

Speaker 5 (57:40):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Look? I need you there, though, Jason, you have to go.
Can you look at the map and figure out where
it is? More?

Speaker 15 (57:48):
Fredshell next, well in the city. But they do straight Jason,
let's hear that stuff. Okay, girl, I like them jeans,
Let me get up in them. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
I would feel fairly confident that you were not, in
fact hitting on a woman if you were to deliver
the message in that way. Fred's show is much in
a Fred Show constitution again, because sometimes we have to

Speaker 11 (58:32):
Not that.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
No, you're right.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Never trust a fart. Oh, stop wanting to be mad,
tell myself that one. If it ain't bowing, I am
going sigh.

Speaker 8 (58:41):
Okay, yes, yes here for now. Okay, okay, don't missle
wild animals. If it ain't weed, it's crack job messing
with Apple chargers.

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Yes, that's all right, because he's like every time I like,

I'm ready to go. I got a travel charger, I
got one in my bedroom, I got one in my
little office room. I'm ready to go. And then they
switched the phone. They make the phone not that much better,
but they changed the little thing and now they don't
even give you. They don't even give you the plug anymore.

Justin Bieber revisited that bowling alley from his iconic Baby
music video, fifteen years after the smash solidified him as
a global superstar. In a video posted to Instagram, Bieber
belted out the lyrics to the twenty ten hit in
the abandoned space, where he had an epic dance off
to impress his dream girl. In the video, more than

(59:48):
a decade ago, he was a baby than fans remember.
Baby came out roughly one year after his debut single
One Time, which is also a banger. The track charted
very well, but it wasn't until his album My World
two point zero that he became a true global superstar.
He's surrounded by friends in the clip who were happy
to provide some backup vocals.

Speaker 11 (01:00:08):
For him.

Speaker 3 (01:00:09):
He's been having what looks to be a blast over
the holidays.

Speaker 6 (01:00:12):
He was spotted zipping around Palm Springs on a scooter
Thanksgiving Day and just playing and looking happy, which we love.
Real housewife Bronwyn Newport and her husband Todd Bradley are
splitting after nine years of marriage.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
They have a big old age gap too.

Speaker 6 (01:00:26):
If you watch The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,
which is the show she's on, you probably saw this coming.
But earlier yesterday, a source told Radar Online that she
announced that she was separating from him at the season
six reunion, which took place last week in New York.

Speaker 3 (01:00:40):
They filmed it.

Speaker 6 (01:00:41):
I should say it has not dropped yet. This should
not come as a surprise to anyone. She's pretty disgusted
what she's by, what she's seeing on TV, how she's
being treated.

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
We've heard of cheating allegations, We've heard him talk to her.

Speaker 6 (01:00:55):
So I don't know, But a lot of people ask
me they want to get into real house they don't
know where to start.

Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
I always say to start at Salt Lake City.

Speaker 6 (01:01:02):
Not as many seasons, so not so overwhelming, but it
is truly the best franchise in all of the cities
right now, and if you are not watching, you are
majorly missing out. Lastly rapper hood Trophy, Bino apparently has
no shortage of female attention after splitting from fellow rapper
or reality star. You could call her Krishan Rock. He's

(01:01:24):
going viral for getting his toes sucked while he was
performing in concert by someone in the audience. He claims
that toes on fans tongues are in high demand. Bella
is covering her ears. She's so grossed out.

Speaker 3 (01:01:38):
So if you see his.

Speaker 6 (01:01:38):
Name trending online today, that's probably why. And that is
how I found out who he was. I saw him
getting his toes sucked by a fan while he was
on stage, so wonderful. Bella wants me to stop. She's
playing me off. So if you miss anything from ours

Well, the Fread Show is on Fred's Fun Fact Learn
so much, guys, did you know this? Blew my mind?
It blew my mind. Bananas are berries. Strawberries are not berries, Yeah,

(01:02:21):
botanically speaking, And that's so That's the only way I
talk is Botanically, bananas qualify as berries, while strawberries do not.
It's all about how the fruit forms from the flower.
So bananas are considered a berry, but a strawberry is
not a berry.

Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
But how do you open your bananas?

Speaker 1 (01:02:44):
I open it the way that you're supposed to, which
is stem the stem, and you crack the stem and
peel it down. I don't care what a monkey does,
this is not what I do. So yeah, more fresh
show next right here.
