It all thanks to Live Nation.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Tickets are on sale now at ticketmaster dot com for
all shows running December thirtieth through January third, and March
sixth through the twenty eighth. Maybe we should be paying
more attention to what people actually do well in and
then focusing on that, like you know, then again, I
don't know. I didn't really get very good grades in
much of anything, so I guess my teachers would have
been like, well, we don't know what to focus on
(00:53):
for you though. But then, like in college, I started
doing well in English because like writing papers and I
don't know, reading and writing in critical thinking or whatever.
And then some professor was like, hey, you're pretty good
at this, and that's all I needed to hear. And
then all of a sudden, I started doing well and
all that stuff, and then I became an English major,
and thank god I got this job, because what the
heck would I do with an English degree?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Paulina, Oh you have one too, never mind? Yeah, all
right next to each other. I'm on your left.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was law school or English teacher, and there's nothing
wrong with either one of those options. But I don't
think I would have been I don't know I would
have been a good lawyer. I don't think I would
have been a very good English teacher. And so here
we are. It worked out okay. But yeah, maybe you
don't have to be kids school. Yeah at school. Yeah,
you don't have to be good at everything. It's okay.
(01:38):
Just figure out what you are good at it and
then get acceptable grades in those things and then do
really well on the things that you are good at
and then follow your path. Look at me, look at you.
I'm like, I'm like Joel Ostein. I'm a motivational. I'm
doctor phil Fore, I'm a motivational speaker. I'm like Jerry
Springer and his final word at the end of the show.
(02:00):
There's final thought. I think it was called.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Man and you went.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You went to Jerry Springer. I did with your mom,
my mom for her birthday. What was the topic of
the day or there were there more than one. I
don't even remember. I remember it was cheating obviously. I
just remember like in the breaks, they would take each
of the people like to those little doors in the back,
and like the producers would be like talking to them.
So my thought is they were like trying to wrap
(02:25):
them up so they would really come back all break,
you know.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And then a woman right in front of us got
her Jerry beads. So that was memorable.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Mom, that's that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I think it was in college.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, so that's a great. Oh, nice to do with mom, Bud,
go see Jerry Springer together.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, we used to watch it like if we were
ever in life, I was ever homestick or whatever, just
like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
We always thought it was funny. So then I took
her that's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
On topic tobout it before because the show was produced
in Chicago, so every now and again people will call
up for texts who were involved with the show. But
you know, I used to hear that they would they
would like producers, that's what they would do. They would
they would take the opposing parties and put them in
separate rooms and walk in and like be total instigators. Yeah,
you know, hey, I'm not supposed to I'm not supposed
to tell you this, but like I know, I'm not like,
I'm not supposed to say anything. But they're over there
(03:15):
saying that you're like any idiot that has like all
like male and female parts.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's what they're saying over there. Yeah, And it's just
this was in the.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Nineties, man, so that was that was wild. They could
say that stuff, that stuff, but that was a crazy
take away. They're saying, what about me?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Hum?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh, you know they're like they're saying, they're saying, you're
like you slept with the entire time. I mean, I'm
not supposed to tell you that or whatever, but like
that's what they're saying. And they would go over there
and be like, you know what they're saying about you,
I'm not supposed to say this, And then by the
time they come out, they're completely charged. They're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, and then yeah, they would go right at it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I do remember.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's a lot of also, like choreography, like you're doing
a lot of up down, up down, Jerry Jerry chant, clap,
stand up, like it was like a lot of like
you work, but you're in when you're in the audience,
hard work.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It morning everyone. Tuesday, July twenty ninth, The Fred Show's on.
Hi Kalin, good morning, Hi Jason Brad, Hi Paulina. He's
on vacation Bella. I means here show Shelley. It will
be here next hour. And she's got money. Seven to
fifty is the prize over one thousand wins, ten straight
wins in a row. That's what straight means in that
in that context, can you be the gorilla and get
(04:22):
your money? The Entertainment Report will do blogs and the
headlines this hour.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What are you working on?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
K Sydney Sweeney is getting absolutely annihilated right now for
a new ad that she did and I'm going to
play it for you and we'll.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Talk about it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I've become I'm afraid maybe I've become the overly competitive guy.
Like I'm a pretty competitive guy when it comes to like,
you know, work, and I don't know ratings and and
like I don't know just doing well, I suppose because
if we don't, then we get fired. So you know,
it's kind of that. So that's why, you know, listening
(04:56):
to us is so important. You have many choices in
your radio list, but when you tune into US, it's important.
Like our days are a little brighter, our weeks are
a little stronger. We get to keep our job for
another year. It's very exciting. But there's an internal contest
and I guess it's a contest about about something that's
internal about business generating business. And I saw the spreadsheet
(05:17):
yesterday for this thing, and I'm like, this isn't right.
I'm number one. I should be at I'm supposed to
be at the top. Like wait a minute, there's stuff
missing on this spreadsheet that I did. Wait a minute,
Wait a minute, Mick Lee, it's not number one. I'm
number one, And so I like threw it. I didn't
throw a fit, but I wrote the guy and I
was like, wait a minute, this isn't right. And I
feel like I'm becoming that guy, But it's not right.
(05:39):
I don't even know what you get. I don't even care.
You guys can you guys can have the prize, it
doesn't matter. I looked at the spreadsheet. I'm like, wait
a minute, it's missing stuff. Exactly why is it missing stuff?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Why?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So then I wrote Jacob Matizia, who works here, I
say it's missing stuff. I go, dude, what are you doing?
And then and then he wrote me back this whole thing.
Love it, thank you for keeping me on it. He
told me, like he feels bad about it, you don't
have to feel bad about it. It's a bunch of
clouds around here that don't want me to be a winner.
They don't want me to have nice things. This place
(06:15):
doesn't want me to have nice things. They've made it
very clear. So but is that Am I terrible for that?
Or like, is it it's not I'm not a rules guy,
like I'm not the guy that's the rules.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, I'm so glad you don't talk like that. Well,
you know, we all know.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The people that like you can't play a game with
them because if they're not winning, then they've got a
problem with it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, and don't play games at all.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Games, okay, every single game I really did.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But in your friend group or.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Like in your work group, whatever, there's always the guy
that or the girl that's just like the rule or
and usually this stuff starts to come out when if
they're not winning, and like the people who aren't winning,
then they can't have any fun, and then you can't
have any fun because they're not winning. We all know
those people. I'm not that guy. I don't care like
a in a basic context, I don't care who win.
(07:08):
Like we're playing Uo, I don't really care who wins.
It doesn't really matter. If we're playing Monopoly, nobody wins
because nobody has anyone ever seen the end of a
Monopoly game ever, has anyone ever finished? I don't even
know when you're done, Like what am I done with Monopoly?
When I have all the money and you don't have
any money because you can rant and lease and airbnb
you know in Verbo all your properties, So this could
(07:29):
go on forever. So I don't know how you know
when anyone won Monopoly. But but yeah, no, So I
just I wonder, like, should I feel bad about this
that I'm looking at this same I'm like this isn't
this is not right.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
We can't have it, like, we can't have this.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I love that you did that you do yeah, because
I feel like I'm in that era right now where
it's like I'm just going to start speaking out for myself,
and I feel like you kind of did that because
I think the old you would have just been like, Okay,
I guess knowing damn well that you deserve that recognition,
you deserve that whatever that is, that prize whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't even think you want the prize. But I
just feel like I don't know what is surprised a
vacation day or something, the trip who you get a trip?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Maybe I want maybe I do want to win like
you guys can't have it.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, but this contest is also flawed because it is
it's flawed because.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We're supposed to do regardless. Well, there's no not that said.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I think we're being we're being we're being competitive about
something where certain people are going to be requested more
to do the thing than other people. It's not more
certain show well or certain we are the number one show,
So I mean we are in a good position like
somebody from but somebody is somebody from this show, should win?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They up your fourth your fourth.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Number one day, I really fell off you sue the
whole market literally number one endorser.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, that's my presidents at in a meeting. Everything for you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
She was.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I guess I didn't go to that meeting. Are you
to be gun? You were behind me?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I tended not to go to meetings with the old guy.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But anyway, okay, so yeah, but I'm just looking at
this this wreadsheet here, and I'm just saying, well, no,
wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So I'm proud of you, but I don't want to
be that guy, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So, but I was that guy last night. I guess
I was sitting back at my couch watching, uh, watching
what's the show I was watching?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Did this is? Also?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
What this freaking show?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's on Netflix? It's a stars show. It just Oh Jesus,
Fred Hayter Lauren's back. The ego is strong this morning.
Boy again, another day, another day of Fred Hayter Lauren
listening to the show again like I've never known anyone
to be so dedicated to something they hate so much.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Thank you? Also, and what was egotistical? What I said?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
It?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Was egotistical that we're number one? We are What were
you gonna say?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I was just gonna say, why would we not want
everyone to have like a decently sized ego and like
be like proud of themselves and work hard and think
that you do.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't understand how that's an.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And by the way, I do have an ego, and
I encourage everyone in radio and media and quite frankly,
quite frankly in life to have at least some semblance
of value for yourself doormat. Now there's a I think
ego gets I mean, when people think of ego, they
think of someone who's obnoxious, and you know it is
overplaying themselves. I think you have to have a level
of confidence, especially if you're in the creative industry, because
(10:23):
if you don't think that what you're doing is good,
then why can you expect how can you expect anyone
else to think that?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Then some hater is going to get to you. But
if an ego, it won't, because it's.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Like it's like, like, at what point do you start
to feel bad about yourself for telling someone every day
that they suck that you're supporting? Yeah? No, apparently not.
Apparently the day apparently not four hundred days of it.
So maybe it's four oh one. Maybe it's four oh one.
You decide. And the thing is, I have no problem
with this person. I've done nothing to this human being.
What was the show that I was watching last night?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
This is going to bother me? We were one.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I'm on quite a rampage in the first ten minutes
of the show this morning. But I I have a
lot of things in my mind. The show it was
a Stars show. It just hit Netflix. It's about drugs.
High Town maybe was that was called. There were three
seasons of it. It started I think it was twenty
twenty to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
High Town. Okay, it's a little corny, but it showed
up on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's about some d about drug cops and Cape cod
It was on Stars a lot of there's a lot
of sex in this show. That's not why I watch it,
because it was like it was It's almost like that
show that I make fun of that You not You,
What's no tell Me Lies, Tell Me Lies, where like
every moment of the show there's an occasion to like
get it on.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
But you said that's not.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Why I watch it way too fast, Like we didn't
ask you and you were like, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Of it's not why I watch it, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, it's not why I watched it because I mean
there was some hotness, and it's certainly some hotness, but like,
I don't know, it was like any opportunity there there
that there is on this show for people to be
naked and dry humping, they take that opportunity and it's
not necessary. Just like can tell me lies you'll be like, hey,
you want to go get lunchy out, let's go. Before long,
they're just like doing each other. It's like, why are
(12:04):
we doing each I mean, that's a great lunch, but
I don't know why. Why do we have to do
that right now? But this is what's upsetting me is
it was a good show. I thought it was a
good show. We get to a very pivotal point at
the end of season three. I'm not going to say
anything in case you want to watch it, and then
I'm like, okay, because like a lot of Netflix shows,
they'll buy or air the season of the show after
(12:25):
it's already aired on TV. And there's been a little
bit of time between, right, Like, so I don't know.
All American is an active show that they show on YouTube.
There's a bunch of shows on Netflix rather that they
after a few months after they air, they put them
up there. So I was like, okay, So I guess
the end of twenty twenty four was when season three ended,
(12:47):
and it would have been on pace for there to
be a season four like sometime this year or early
next year. So I'm like, okay. So I get to
the end of the three that are on Netflix and
I'm excited. I'm like, Okay, I'm into this show, and
there are a lot of things kind of came together,
and I'm like, well, I wonder what happens next for
me to go on the internet to search when is
there going to be a season four of this show
high Town. They canceled the show. So it was devastating
(13:09):
to me last night. Maybe that's why I was in
such a mood. I was devastated because I was getting
into the storyline and all this stuff happened at the
end of season three and You're.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Like, oh my god, this is a transformation in the show.
This is exciting.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
They clearly had no idea they were going to get canceled,
and I don't know why they did. I guess maybe
no one watched the show or whatever. But I'm very
upset because there is no plan for there to be
another season of this show. Meeting it's over, like we'll
never know what was going to happen. Even if they know,
we'll never know because I'm assuming they had a four
season written, but we'll never know now. The only hope
(13:40):
that I can come up with is that maybe if
this show because it was I think it was top
ten on Netflix yesterday, so maybe if it grows in
popularity on Netflix, maybe then somebody buys it and then
produces that, you know, further seasons of it because it
found popularity on Netflix. But is there an example of
that happen there? Probably is that I can't think of
(14:02):
it at the top of my head, but like you
would think that if a show kind of died and
then it goes on Netflix and pops off, that Okay,
well wait a minute, maybe we should make another season then,
because like and put it on there maybe Netflix. I think.
Hasn't Netflix bought shows before and done that? I think so,
I'm sure someone's going to come up with an example,
but I was very upset about it, and that maybe
(14:22):
that was I'm like, wait a minute, so I'm never
gonna know now now what happens. That must be very
upsetting too, when you when you've put, like you got
three season into a show and you think it's going
well and then and again, I never heard about it
while it was airing on Stars. So maybe that means
that it wasn't, you know, that popular of a show
and they should have canceled it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But the other thing that this tells me is every
time you get in on Netflix, there's another show that
you never knew existed that had aired for years, and
I never knew. Like, it's impossible to know every show.
It's impossible. Money, Yeah, it's impossible. There's just so much stuff.
It's like, I would never have known this existed if
it didn't show up on in like on the front
page of Netflix.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
So imagine all the stuff that's out that we don't
know about. Yeah, yeah, all right, well there you go.
That's my rant. So what did we cover?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We covered Ego, we covered this contest in the office
that I just don't think is right at all. We
covered the TV show that's not going to be renewed.
That I'm that isn't renewed. That I'm very upset about
because I got to the end of it and I
don't know Pauline. I guess this is the greatest employee,
and I heard Chicago history.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I was in the meeting where it was announced right there,
and I didn't know. Well, well, but you know, I
probably did.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I fight with you with you know.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
When I'm in those meetings, I pretend like I'm on vacation,
as you should. Yeah, I pretend like I'm in Tahiti
when I'm in those meetings.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So I wasn't. Actually I was present in body, but
not in mind.
This is the press show.

right next to each other. I'm on your left.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was law school or English teacher, and there's nothing
wrong with either one of those options. But I don't
think I would have been I don't know I would
have been a good lawyer. I don't think I would
have been a very good English teacher. And so here
we are. It worked out okay. But yeah, maybe you
don't have to be kids school. Yeah at school. Yeah,

I'm like, I'm like Joel Ostein. I'm a motivational. I'm
doctor phil Fore, I'm a motivational speaker. I'm like Jerry
Springer and his final word at the end of the show.
(02:00):
There's final thought. I think it was called.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Man and you went.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You went to Jerry Springer. I did with your mom,
my mom for her birthday. What was the topic of
the day or there were there more than one. I
don't even remember. I remember it was cheating obviously. I
just remember like in the breaks, they would take each
of the people like to those little doors in the back,
and like the producers would be like talking to them.
So my thought is they were like trying to wrap
(02:25):
them up so they would really come back all break,
you know.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And then a woman right in front of us got
her Jerry beads. So that was memorable.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Mom, that's that.
Speaker 2 (02:37):

I think it was in college.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Okay, so that's a great. Oh, nice to do with mom, Bud,
go see Jerry Springer together.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, we used to watch it like if we were
ever in life, I was ever homestick or whatever, just
like I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
We always thought it was funny. So then I took
her that's so sweet.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
On topic tobout it before because the show was produced
in Chicago, so every now and again people will call
up for texts who were involved with the show. But
you know, I used to hear that they would they
would like producers, that's what they would do. They would
they would take the opposing parties and put them in
separate rooms and walk in and like be total instigators. Yeah,
you know, hey, I'm not supposed to I'm not supposed
to tell you this, but like I know, I'm not like,
I'm not supposed to say anything. But they're over there
(03:15):
saying that you're like any idiot that has like all
like male and female parts.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That's what they're saying over there. Yeah, And it's just
this was in the.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Nineties, man, so that was that was wild. They could
say that stuff, that stuff, but that was a crazy
take away. They're saying, what about me?
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Hum?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh, you know they're like they're saying, they're saying, you're
like you slept with the entire time. I mean, I'm
not supposed to tell you that or whatever, but like
that's what they're saying. And they would go over there
and be like, you know what they're saying about you,
I'm not supposed to say this, And then by the
time they come out, they're completely charged. They're ready to go.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yeah, and then yeah, they would go right at it.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I do remember.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
It's a lot of also, like choreography, like you're doing
a lot of up down, up down, Jerry Jerry chant, clap,
stand up, like it was like a lot of like
you work, but you're in when you're in the audience,
hard work.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
It morning everyone. Tuesday, July twenty ninth, The Fred Show's on.
Hi Kalin, good morning, Hi Jason Brad, Hi Paulina. He's
on vacation Bella. I means here show Shelley. It will
be here next hour. And she's got money. Seven to
fifty is the prize over one thousand wins, ten straight
wins in a row. That's what straight means in that
in that context, can you be the gorilla and get
(04:22):
your money? The Entertainment Report will do blogs and the
headlines this hour.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What are you working on?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
K Sydney Sweeney is getting absolutely annihilated right now for
a new ad that she did and I'm going to
play it for you and we'll.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Talk about it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I've become I'm afraid maybe I've become the overly competitive guy.
Like I'm a pretty competitive guy when it comes to like,
you know, work, and I don't know ratings and and
like I don't know just doing well, I suppose because
if we don't, then we get fired. So you know,
it's kind of that. So that's why, you know, listening
(04:56):
to us is so important. You have many choices in
your radio list, but when you tune into US, it's important.
Like our days are a little brighter, our weeks are
a little stronger. We get to keep our job for
another year. It's very exciting. But there's an internal contest
and I guess it's a contest about about something that's
internal about business generating business. And I saw the spreadsheet
(05:17):
yesterday for this thing, and I'm like, this isn't right.
I'm number one. I should be at I'm supposed to
be at the top. Like wait a minute, there's stuff
missing on this spreadsheet that I did. Wait a minute,
Wait a minute, Mick Lee, it's not number one. I'm
number one, And so I like threw it. I didn't
throw a fit, but I wrote the guy and I
was like, wait a minute, this isn't right. And I
feel like I'm becoming that guy, But it's not right.
(05:39):
I don't even know what you get. I don't even care.
You guys can you guys can have the prize, it
doesn't matter. I looked at the spreadsheet. I'm like, wait
a minute, it's missing stuff. Exactly why is it missing stuff?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Why?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So then I wrote Jacob Matizia, who works here, I
say it's missing stuff. I go, dude, what are you doing?
And then and then he wrote me back this whole thing.
Love it, thank you for keeping me on it. He
told me, like he feels bad about it, you don't
have to feel bad about it. It's a bunch of
clouds around here that don't want me to be a winner.
They don't want me to have nice things. This place
(06:15):
doesn't want me to have nice things. They've made it
very clear. So but is that Am I terrible for that?
Or like, is it it's not I'm not a rules guy,
like I'm not the guy that's the rules.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
No, I'm so glad you don't talk like that. Well,
you know, we all know.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
The people that like you can't play a game with
them because if they're not winning, then they've got a
problem with it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, and don't play games at all.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Games, okay, every single game I really did.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
But in your friend group or.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Like in your work group, whatever, there's always the guy
that or the girl that's just like the rule or
and usually this stuff starts to come out when if
they're not winning, and like the people who aren't winning,
then they can't have any fun, and then you can't
have any fun because they're not winning. We all know
those people. I'm not that guy. I don't care like
a in a basic context, I don't care who win.
(07:08):
Like we're playing Uo, I don't really care who wins.
It doesn't really matter. If we're playing Monopoly, nobody wins
because nobody has anyone ever seen the end of a
Monopoly game ever, has anyone ever finished? I don't even
know when you're done, Like what am I done with Monopoly?
When I have all the money and you don't have
any money because you can rant and lease and airbnb
you know in Verbo all your properties, So this could
(07:29):
go on forever. So I don't know how you know
when anyone won Monopoly. But but yeah, no, So I
just I wonder, like, should I feel bad about this
that I'm looking at this same I'm like this isn't
this is not right.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
We can't have it, like, we can't have this.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I love that you did that you do yeah, because
I feel like I'm in that era right now where
it's like I'm just going to start speaking out for myself,
and I feel like you kind of did that because
I think the old you would have just been like, Okay,
I guess knowing damn well that you deserve that recognition,
you deserve that whatever that is, that prize whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't even think you want the prize. But I
just feel like I don't know what is surprised a
vacation day or something, the trip who you get a trip?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Maybe I want maybe I do want to win like
you guys can't have it.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Yeah, but this contest is also flawed because it is
it's flawed because.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We're supposed to do regardless. Well, there's no not that said.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I think we're being we're being we're being competitive about
something where certain people are going to be requested more
to do the thing than other people. It's not more
certain show well or certain we are the number one show,
So I mean we are in a good position like
somebody from but somebody is somebody from this show, should win?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
They up your fourth your fourth.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Number one day, I really fell off you sue the
whole market literally number one endorser.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah, that's my presidents at in a meeting. Everything for you?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
She was.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I guess I didn't go to that meeting. Are you
to be gun? You were behind me?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
I tended not to go to meetings with the old guy.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But anyway, okay, so yeah, but I'm just looking at
this this wreadsheet here, and I'm just saying, well, no,
wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
So I'm proud of you, but I don't want to
be that guy, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
So, but I was that guy last night. I guess
I was sitting back at my couch watching, uh, watching
what's the show I was watching?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Did this is? Also?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
What was that?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
What this freaking show?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's on Netflix? It's a stars show. It just Oh Jesus,
Fred Hayter Lauren's back. The ego is strong this morning.
Boy again, another day, another day of Fred Hayter Lauren
listening to the show again like I've never known anyone
to be so dedicated to something they hate so much.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Thank you? Also, and what was egotistical? What I said?
Speaker 4 (09:47):
It?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Was egotistical that we're number one? We are What were
you gonna say?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I was just gonna say, why would we not want
everyone to have like a decently sized ego and like
be like proud of themselves and work hard and think
that you do.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't understand how that's an.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
And by the way, I do have an ego, and
I encourage everyone in radio and media and quite frankly,
quite frankly in life to have at least some semblance
of value for yourself doormat. Now there's a I think
ego gets I mean, when people think of ego, they
think of someone who's obnoxious, and you know it is
overplaying themselves. I think you have to have a level
of confidence, especially if you're in the creative industry, because
(10:23):
if you don't think that what you're doing is good,
then why can you expect how can you expect anyone
else to think that?
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Then some hater is going to get to you. But
if an ego, it won't, because it's.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Like it's like, like, at what point do you start
to feel bad about yourself for telling someone every day
that they suck that you're supporting? Yeah? No, apparently not.
Apparently the day apparently not four hundred days of it.
So maybe it's four oh one. Maybe it's four oh one.
You decide. And the thing is, I have no problem
with this person. I've done nothing to this human being.
What was the show that I was watching last night?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
This is going to bother me? We were one.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I'm on quite a rampage in the first ten minutes
of the show this morning. But I I have a
lot of things in my mind. The show it was
a Stars show. It just hit Netflix. It's about drugs.
High Town maybe was that was called. There were three
seasons of it. It started I think it was twenty
twenty to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
High Town. Okay, it's a little corny, but it showed
up on Netflix.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's about some d about drug cops and Cape cod
It was on Stars a lot of there's a lot
of sex in this show. That's not why I watch it,
because it was like it was It's almost like that
show that I make fun of that You not You,
What's no tell Me Lies, Tell Me Lies, where like
every moment of the show there's an occasion to like
get it on.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
But you said that's not.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Why I watch it way too fast, Like we didn't
ask you and you were like, there's a lot.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Of it's not why I watch it, but it's not.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, it's not why I watched it because I mean
there was some hotness, and it's certainly some hotness, but like,
I don't know, it was like any opportunity there there
that there is on this show for people to be
naked and dry humping, they take that opportunity and it's
not necessary. Just like can tell me lies you'll be like, hey,
you want to go get lunchy out, let's go. Before long,
they're just like doing each other. It's like, why are
(12:04):
we doing each I mean, that's a great lunch, but
I don't know why. Why do we have to do
that right now? But this is what's upsetting me is
it was a good show. I thought it was a
good show. We get to a very pivotal point at
the end of season three. I'm not going to say
anything in case you want to watch it, and then
I'm like, okay, because like a lot of Netflix shows,
they'll buy or air the season of the show after
(12:25):
it's already aired on TV. And there's been a little
bit of time between, right, Like, so I don't know.
All American is an active show that they show on YouTube.
There's a bunch of shows on Netflix rather that they
after a few months after they air, they put them
up there. So I was like, okay, So I guess
the end of twenty twenty four was when season three ended,
(12:47):
and it would have been on pace for there to
be a season four like sometime this year or early
next year. So I'm like, okay. So I get to
the end of the three that are on Netflix and
I'm excited. I'm like, Okay, I'm into this show, and
there are a lot of things kind of came together,
and I'm like, well, I wonder what happens next for
me to go on the internet to search when is
there going to be a season four of this show
high Town. They canceled the show. So it was devastating
(13:09):
to me last night. Maybe that's why I was in
such a mood. I was devastated because I was getting
into the storyline and all this stuff happened at the
end of season three and You're.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Like, oh my god, this is a transformation in the show.
This is exciting.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
They clearly had no idea they were going to get canceled,
and I don't know why they did. I guess maybe
no one watched the show or whatever. But I'm very
upset because there is no plan for there to be
another season of this show. Meeting it's over, like we'll
never know what was going to happen. Even if they know,
we'll never know because I'm assuming they had a four
season written, but we'll never know now. The only hope
(13:40):
that I can come up with is that maybe if
this show because it was I think it was top
ten on Netflix yesterday, so maybe if it grows in
popularity on Netflix, maybe then somebody buys it and then
produces that, you know, further seasons of it because it
found popularity on Netflix. But is there an example of
that happen there? Probably is that I can't think of
(14:02):
it at the top of my head, but like you
would think that if a show kind of died and
then it goes on Netflix and pops off, that Okay,
well wait a minute, maybe we should make another season then,
because like and put it on there maybe Netflix. I think.
Hasn't Netflix bought shows before and done that? I think so,
I'm sure someone's going to come up with an example,
but I was very upset about it, and that maybe
(14:22):
that was I'm like, wait a minute, so I'm never
gonna know now now what happens. That must be very
upsetting too, when you when you've put, like you got
three season into a show and you think it's going
well and then and again, I never heard about it
while it was airing on Stars. So maybe that means
that it wasn't, you know, that popular of a show
and they should have canceled it.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
But the other thing that this tells me is every
time you get in on Netflix, there's another show that
you never knew existed that had aired for years, and
I never knew. Like, it's impossible to know every show.
It's impossible. Money, Yeah, it's impossible. There's just so much stuff.
It's like, I would never have known this existed if
it didn't show up on in like on the front
page of Netflix.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
So imagine all the stuff that's out that we don't
know about. Yeah, yeah, all right, well there you go.
That's my rant. So what did we cover?
Speaker 2 (15:09):
We covered Ego, we covered this contest in the office
that I just don't think is right at all. We
covered the TV show that's not going to be renewed.
That I'm that isn't renewed. That I'm very upset about
because I got to the end of it and I
don't know Pauline. I guess this is the greatest employee,
and I heard Chicago history.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
I didn't know this.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I was in the meeting where it was announced right there,
and I didn't know. Well, well, but you know, I
probably did.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I fight with you with you know.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
When I'm in those meetings, I pretend like I'm on vacation,
as you should. Yeah, I pretend like I'm in Tahiti
when I'm in those meetings.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So I wasn't. Actually I was present in body, but
not in mind.
