Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fred Show. Each time. Celebrate the holiday
season with Mariah Carey's Christmas Time in Las Vegas this
November twenty eight through December thirteenth, Adobe Live and Park MGM,
and you could be going and trip for two to
the December twelfth show at two Night's Day at Park
MGM December twelfth through to fourteenth and round trip airfare.
(00:20):
Text Vegas to five seven seven three nine right now
for a chance to win. A confirmation text will be
sent standard message and data rates may apply. It's all
thanks to Live Nation, right the biggest stories of the day. So, Kiki,
you said your friend texted you, and she'll put the
entire like all of the messages of the dudes sent
into chet GPT and then chat gpt spits out responses.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yes, And she said she would especially do it if
it was something that she didn't like that the guy said,
and she didn't want to come off like mean or
just you know, react to them, so she would let
chat put it in a nice sweet tongue. Oh I
like that, Yes, I like that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I that I'm going. Okay, now we're having you know,
to your point about chat GPT just doing like you know,
I write to the person and then chat GPT. She
has them running back to me, like, how long until
we're not even talking to the real people anymore? Because
these aren't my natural responses. This isn't what I would
normally say. You know, so now now you now you
meet up with me Kiki, and like, I'm not any.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Of that, right, I mean, that's what's gonna happen for it.
I already told you, Like the robots are here, baby,
we're out of here. We only got a limited time.
So you know, by the time they meet up, it
might be chat pulling up, you know, like it might
it might we might be talking through Chat. I don't know,
but I'm here for this because I think this can
save a lot of relationships and marriages. You know, when
I want to tell Timothy he is X, Y and Z,
(01:43):
instead of me just saying that it's Kiki, I'll say chat.
Please tell me how to tell my fiance that he
is getting on my nerves and I want to harm
m and then you know, make.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It reskuct make it.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes specific.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I think we should start using this a little bit
with the relationships in my changed some things help me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, well, guys, this is how we should use CHATTYPT
because Fred Hayter Lawrence up this morning listening for the
four hundredth consecutive day. The person who the person who
hates our show but listens the most, says you should
ask chat GPT how to raise your ratings. Yeah, you're right.
We could go from number one to number one. You
more on and then it's one of the responses might be,
(02:23):
don't talk about all the girls you bang? Have I
said one? Has anyone in this room said one time
anything about that? No? No, no, I'm always this person
is Honestly, I feel bad for this person. I feel
bad because this person is obviously mentally ill, and it's
terrible and I'm going to stop reading these tactics. It's
very sad because I don't even know what you're listening to.
(02:45):
That actually sounds like a better show. If we were
talking to maybe maybe chat GPT would tell me that
I should I should be talking about the if that
were happening, which it hasn't because I'm retired. In the
last year zero oh hell, yeah, it's a true story. Really,
that's a true one. In the last in the last
twelve months one what, Yeah, it's true. So there you go.
(03:07):
I did it. Thanks for the advice, Fred Hayter Laurin
appreciate it. Guys. More shrimp for being check. If we
talk about shrimp, the radios will go way up. That's
that's what it is. They'll go way up. More shrimp
for being recalled due to radiation. So we got radiated
shrimp out there. In addition, yeah, another, I guess there's
more than one company recalling it's frozen shrimp to the
(03:29):
possibility of exposure to radiation levels. According to a news
release issue by the FDA, the shrimp may have been
exposed to very low levels of a particular form of radiation.
Products included in the most recent shrimp recall were sold
under the brand Awqua Star, Public's Best Yet and Waterfront Bistro.
The FDA says no illnesses have been reported, but customers
(03:51):
who have bought the affected shrimp could either throw it
away return to the store that it was purchased. The
list of recalled items can be found on the FDA website.
This is for Caitlin, who I know always you know,
involved in many off Broadway productions. She is the thespian
though of the show, but Broadway musicians could strike as
early as tomorrow, so that would mean that Broadway shows
would go dark. The union representing Broadway musicians say that
(04:14):
they will walk off their gigs as early as tomorrow
if their contract demands are not met. Musicians say that
they have been working without a contract since late August
and they want a new deal with wages that accurately
reflects how the theater industry is doing in New York City.
Both sides will meet with a mediator today in hopes
of coming up with an agreement. Man, I got a
trip plan this weekend. I'm trying to see Lion King.
(04:36):
If you're telling me there'll be no Lion King, it's
gonna be very upsetting. I'm not going this weekend the
Sea Lion King. Hey, they'm going this weekend to Seacats
And yeah, I did go see as a child. I
did go Seecats. Have you seen Cats?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I have not seen Cats, but my nana dragged me
to his sister act the musical.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Oh yes, what do you mean right now?
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I liked the movie, but I didn't know that I
needed it on Broadway.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
But I did you know this wednesday before? Excuse me,
the wednesday before Thanksgiving has become one of door Dash's
busiest days, with delivery volume about ninety percent higher than
that of an average day. Deliveries that day include not
just food, but also grocery items like trays, flatters, mixers,
and seasonings, along with some unexpected items like outdoor chairs
(05:25):
and dining furniture. If I'm I got a door Dash
in a dining chair, like, I mean, deliveries that day
don't just include food. They also include stuff like condoms.
Apparently condoms are well I mean yeah, I mean, I guess,
(05:48):
but so on Thanksgiving, I eat all the food and
then I'm like, man, I got to get some like oh,
we don't have what we need and then I got
a order say right, well yeah, but I mean, I guess,
so the day before, but not.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
The day after your blackout for black ops yeah black Wednesday?
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, condom, Hey, stay safe guys out there. I guess up.
You know the bar, yeah you don't, haven't seen it.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
That's the hometown, the highlights, you know, meat thermometers, last
minute turkey preparations, wine and beer.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
That's not at all surprising. And then condoms are are
important to people, I guess. And you used to drive
door dash chase. What was one of what I mean,
you have a lot of stories I know of things
that you've delivered, but like, what what is one that
comes to mind of something crazy that you had to
bring to somebody.
Speaker 5 (06:42):
Probably multiple times where I had to go buy a
pregnancy test and like it's like one of those that
you have to shop for it, so I'd have to
go find it in the aisle go and like check
out at the at the register and then like I'd
be like I never thought that me, being a thirty
something year old gay man would be buying this money
pregnancy toss but here I am.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Or the Plan B that you had to need the
money Plan B, Yes I had to.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Yeah, I had to do that, and like the drop
off was like very sort of sketchy. They're like they're
like leave it under the third rock from the door,
and like it was very odd. But then I used
to like they always want you to work the Wednesday
before Thanksgiving because it's so busy, so they send you
all these like deals or whatever, you know, extra pay.
But I would have to like shop for everyone's Thanksgiving
(07:25):
like meal like everything, and it was very annoying because
everyone is shopping right then too, you.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Know, oh yeah, I picked up I'm reading through the text.
I picked up a door that as you order for
lube once and the guy made me hand it to him.
What's Yeah, that would be one. I'd say, leave at
the door. Yeah, and then I'd make sure they left
before I went out. And nothing to be embarrassed about.
But I don't need a stranger. I don't need you
to look me in the eye when you hand me,
(07:51):
you know, by accessories or whatever.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
My dad insists on having them handed to him and
talking to them forever like he I'm like, Dad, you're
crazy for that.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah. Yeah, I guess I was at I need a
meat thermometer, and I need any condoms, just one. I
need a condom, and then I need condoms. I don't know,
it's just it's a strange list of things. Sea otters
are trending today. Sea otters they're harassing surfers in California. Again.
(08:22):
I guess this is a normal thing, but mischievous sea
otters are causing more trouble for surfers in Santa Cruz,
California last week. In order reportedly bit a surfer's foot
before taking over her surfboard. Harbor patrol officers found the
otters still perch on the board about twenty minutes later,
so I guess the thing was surfing. Other surfers are
reporting similar incidents this week, but still support the mammals.
(08:42):
The incident is reminiscent of the twenty twenty threes Otter
eight forty one, which is a tagged order known for
stealing surfboards in the same area. Authorities have not confirmed
if it's one of the same animals, but they're like,
get out of my house. Man, Like, get out of
my house, you know, like you're you're skateboarding on the
wall in my house and I get out and it's mine.
(09:03):
I'm taking that. I mean, imagine if someone just came
roller blade into the middle of your house, you know,
you'd probably rip the rollerblades right off of them, kick
them out, you know. So I don't know if I
blame the sea owners. And Mattel is going to release
a Stevie Nicks bella Donna barbie. Since Mattel released a
barbie I guess previously inspired by Stevie Nicks and it
sold out, the company is now set to release a
(09:23):
new one, this time It's based on the album cover
of the singer's first solo album, Bella Donna. The album
features hits like Edge of seventeen stop Dragging My Heart Around.
The doll is draped in flowing white. Nix tells people
that she's thrilled and it's the only good thing since
breaking her shoulder, which I guess happened recently. Mattel has
yet to announce a release date and pricing information on
(09:45):
the new Barbie, but the singer's first signature Barbie Doll,
which was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album, quickly sold
out after its twenty twenty three release. It wouldn't it
be too much for me to say that I think
Stevie Nicks is one of the few artists that seems
to transcend every single living generation. Like I know people
who are like I've met people who have teenagers who
say they love Stevie Nicks, and their parents love Stevie Nicks.
(10:08):
The grandparents love Stevie like I feel like it. She
seems to be one of those artists that like fits
into every category for someone. It's so true.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
My whole family is going next week to see her.
I'm so excited. I've never seen her, and my sister,
who's twenty one, is obsessed. I'm obsessed, and then my
parents are as well, So I think she's the only
one that we can all agree on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's like, I don't know if it's it's just a
musical like a like a style that seems to just
fit into. Like if you like country music, you like
Stevie Nicks. If you like pop music, you like Stevie Nicks.
If you like rock you I mean, you know what
I mean. It seems to be I don't know if
it's your voice or the nature of the songs, or
her aura or whatever. I don't know, but Junior Karen
is obsessed. So yeah, get heart this doll. Yep, she
(10:48):
has the other one.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I asked her about it in the og, but yeah, we
gotta get it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The other one, Paulina wakes is her personal wake up
call every morning. So you need to find her this
doll fallowing it. You're responsible.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I'm already googling this her Christmas presents.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
What you're gonna have to wait and line outside of
Target like with the Swifties, And you're gonna have to
get this doll for Karen because she deserves it. It's
National Tavern Style Pizza Day. There's a day for the thing.
There's a day for the thing that people argue isn't
even a real thing.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Don't argue with me, Please argue with your mom, because
this one, this is my day.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I love. Happy tavern style Day. Do you thank you?
And if you're not familiar, you know there's a debate
about the different styles of pizza. Some people will tell
you there's no such thing as tavern style, that it's
called thin cruster. I mean, there's this whole thing, but
I believe, like for example, for the folks who listen
to Chicago, this is the debate. You've got deep dish,
which everyone seems to know about, which is a casserole,
(11:40):
and then you've got, you know, a thinner crust which
is typically cut into squares, which is not the same
kind of thin crust that like might be I don't know,
like a levage or a cracker. It's also not a
slice like a New York style. It's different. It's a
little it isn't necessarily crispy on the bottom, but it's
like sometimes a little tougher or a little harder, but
(12:02):
it's not a cracker, but it's tavern style and it's
it's different than the others. And there's been arguments among
chicagoan specifically, because there seems to be only two choices
for the most part about whether it's called and some
people was like, well, it's just pizza. No, it's called
tavern style.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Growing up to my stepdad used to take us to
the tavern because at that time that was like a thing.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And he would bring or he.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Would bring us there and they would bring out the pizza.
And that's why I thought it was called tavern style
because it came from the back of like a little bar.
But now, growing up, I know that everyone got to
experience this, you know, like very flat breaded pizza with
a lot of cheese and whatever else you want on it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That might be true, though, there may be some truth
to your your logic that you know, even though you're
you know, alcoholic parents, is your recollection is being in
a bar and eating pizza. And that was with the
kind that it was. I mean, there might actually be
some truth to that. Hold on.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Fun fact too, my stepdad went to high school with
Jason Brown's dad. Yes, yeah, really you're apart, Yes, think
of that.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well, there you go. The name tavern style comes from
how the pizzas were originally served in taverns. According to
at least one origin story, the pizza attempted customers into
lingering at the establishment, at which point they'd be more
likely to order more alcohol. Other bars might serve peanuts
or whatever. I guess. Look, if I go to a
bar and instead of peanuts they're serving pizza, I'm going
(13:30):
to that bar more. Yes, So maybe that's the thing.
And I mean like free, you know, because the little
peanuts are free. I mean I'm talking like, instead of
a little little bowld peanuts, if you give me an
actual pizza when I sit down, Yeah, you're right, I'm
gonna hang out there a lot more often. According to
one narrative, the pizza signature square slices were created so
that a customer could hold that in one hand and
a beer in the other. Another theory is that they
(13:52):
made it possible for taverns or that plate. So I
guess you could set the pizza on a napkin, because
the napkins square, the slice is square, and then that
makes sense. I'm not sure if that's true, but yeah,
supposedly it was started in the thirties and forties in
Milwaukee and Chicago, tavern style. So if you argue that
there is no such thing, there's a whole Wikipedia page
(14:12):
about it, and I trust it. It's National Make a
Dog's Day, Do that Make your Dog's Day? And Medical
Assist a Recognition Day and one of our favorites around here,
National Nut Day is we love National Nut Day.
This is the Fred Show. Each time. Celebrate the holiday
season with Mariah Carey's Christmas Time in Las Vegas this
November twenty eight through December thirteenth, Adobe Live and Park MGM,
and you could be going and trip for two to
the December twelfth show at two Night's Day at Park
MGM December twelfth through to fourteenth and round trip airfare.
(00:20):
Text Vegas to five seven seven three nine right now
for a chance to win. A confirmation text will be
sent standard message and data rates may apply. It's all
thanks to Live Nation, right the biggest stories of the day. So, Kiki,
you said your friend texted you, and she'll put the
entire like all of the messages of the dudes sent
into chet GPT and then chat gpt spits out responses.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Yes, And she said she would especially do it if
it was something that she didn't like that the guy said,
and she didn't want to come off like mean or
just you know, react to them, so she would let
chat put it in a nice sweet tongue. Oh I
like that, Yes, I like that.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
I that I'm going. Okay, now we're having you know,
to your point about chat GPT just doing like you know,
I write to the person and then chat GPT. She
has them running back to me, like, how long until
we're not even talking to the real people anymore? Because
these aren't my natural responses. This isn't what I would
normally say. You know, so now now you now you
meet up with me Kiki, and like, I'm not any.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Of that, right, I mean, that's what's gonna happen for it.
I already told you, Like the robots are here, baby,
we're out of here. We only got a limited time.
So you know, by the time they meet up, it
might be chat pulling up, you know, like it might
it might we might be talking through Chat. I don't know,
but I'm here for this because I think this can
save a lot of relationships and marriages. You know, when
I want to tell Timothy he is X, Y and Z,
(01:43):
instead of me just saying that it's Kiki, I'll say chat.
Please tell me how to tell my fiance that he
is getting on my nerves and I want to harm
m and then you know, make.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It reskuct make it.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yes specific.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I think we should start using this a little bit
with the relationships in my changed some things help me.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, well, guys, this is how we should use CHATTYPT
because Fred Hayter Lawrence up this morning listening for the
four hundredth consecutive day. The person who the person who
hates our show but listens the most, says you should
ask chat GPT how to raise your ratings. Yeah, you're right.
We could go from number one to number one. You
more on and then it's one of the responses might be,
(02:23):
don't talk about all the girls you bang? Have I
said one? Has anyone in this room said one time
anything about that? No? No, no, I'm always this person
is Honestly, I feel bad for this person. I feel
bad because this person is obviously mentally ill, and it's
terrible and I'm going to stop reading these tactics. It's
very sad because I don't even know what you're listening to.
(02:45):
That actually sounds like a better show. If we were
talking to maybe maybe chat GPT would tell me that
I should I should be talking about the if that
were happening, which it hasn't because I'm retired. In the
last year zero oh hell, yeah, it's a true story. Really,
that's a true one. In the last in the last
twelve months one what, Yeah, it's true. So there you go.
(03:07):
I did it. Thanks for the advice, Fred Hayter Laurin

That's not at all surprising. And then condoms are are
important to people, I guess. And you used to drive
door dash chase. What was one of what I mean,
you have a lot of stories I know of things
that you've delivered, but like, what what is one that
comes to mind of something crazy that you had to

new one, this time It's based on the album cover
of the singer's first solo album, Bella Donna. The album
features hits like Edge of seventeen stop Dragging My Heart Around.
The doll is draped in flowing white. Nix tells people
that she's thrilled and it's the only good thing since
breaking her shoulder, which I guess happened recently. Mattel has
yet to announce a release date and pricing information on
(09:45):
the new Barbie, but the singer's first signature Barbie Doll,
which was inspired by Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album, quickly sold
out after its twenty twenty three release. It wouldn't it
be too much for me to say that I think
Stevie Nicks is one of the few artists that seems
to transcend every single living generation. Like I know people
who are like I've met people who have teenagers who
say they love Stevie Nicks, and their parents love Stevie Nicks.
(10:08):
The grandparents love Stevie like I feel like it. She
seems to be one of those artists that like fits
into every category for someone. It's so true.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
My whole family is going next week to see her.
I'm so excited. I've never seen her, and my sister,
who's twenty one, is obsessed. I'm obsessed, and then my
parents are as well, So I think she's the only
one that we can all agree on.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's like, I don't know if it's it's just a
musical like a like a style that seems to just
fit into. Like if you like country music, you like
Stevie Nicks. If you like pop music, you like Stevie Nicks.
If you like rock you I mean, you know what
I mean. It seems to be I don't know if
it's your voice or the nature of the songs, or
her aura or whatever. I don't know, but Junior Karen
is obsessed. So yeah, get heart this doll. Yep, she
(10:48):
has the other one.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I asked her about it in the og, but yeah, we
gotta get it.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The other one, Paulina wakes is her personal wake up
call every morning. So you need to find her this
doll fallowing it. You're responsible.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
I'm already googling this her Christmas presents.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
What you're gonna have to wait and line outside of
Target like with the Swifties, And you're gonna have to
get this doll for Karen because she deserves it. It's
National Tavern Style Pizza Day. There's a day for the thing.
There's a day for the thing that people argue isn't
even a real thing.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Don't argue with me, Please argue with your mom, because
this one, this is my day.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I love. Happy tavern style Day. Do you thank you?
And if you're not familiar, you know there's a debate
about the different styles of pizza. Some people will tell
you there's no such thing as tavern style, that it's
called thin cruster. I mean, there's this whole thing, but
I believe, like for example, for the folks who listen
to Chicago, this is the debate. You've got deep dish,
which everyone seems to know about, which is a casserole,
(11:40):
and then you've got, you know, a thinner crust which
is typically cut into squares, which is not the same
kind of thin crust that like might be I don't know,
like a levage or a cracker. It's also not a
slice like a New York style. It's different. It's a
little it isn't necessarily crispy on the bottom, but it's
like sometimes a little tougher or a little harder, but
(12:02):
it's not a cracker, but it's tavern style and it's
it's different than the others. And there's been arguments among
chicagoan specifically, because there seems to be only two choices
for the most part about whether it's called and some
people was like, well, it's just pizza. No, it's called
tavern style.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Growing up to my stepdad used to take us to
the tavern because at that time that was like a thing.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
And he would bring or he.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Would bring us there and they would bring out the pizza.
And that's why I thought it was called tavern style
because it came from the back of like a little bar.
But now, growing up, I know that everyone got to
experience this, you know, like very flat breaded pizza with
a lot of cheese and whatever else you want on it.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That might be true, though, there may be some truth
to your your logic that you know, even though you're
you know, alcoholic parents, is your recollection is being in
a bar and eating pizza. And that was with the
kind that it was. I mean, there might actually be
some truth to that. Hold on.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Fun fact too, my stepdad went to high school with
Jason Brown's dad. Yes, yeah, really you're apart, Yes, think
of that.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Well, there you go. The name tavern style comes from
how the pizzas were originally served in taverns. According to
at least one origin story, the pizza attempted customers into
lingering at the establishment, at which point they'd be more
likely to order more alcohol. Other bars might serve peanuts
or whatever. I guess. Look, if I go to a
bar and instead of peanuts they're serving pizza, I'm going
(13:30):
to that bar more. Yes, So maybe that's the thing.
And I mean like free, you know, because the little
peanuts are free. I mean I'm talking like, instead of
a little little bowld peanuts, if you give me an
actual pizza when I sit down, Yeah, you're right, I'm
gonna hang out there a lot more often. According to
one narrative, the pizza signature square slices were created so
that a customer could hold that in one hand and
a beer in the other. Another theory is that they
(13:52):
made it possible for taverns or that plate. So I
guess you could set the pizza on a napkin, because
the napkins square, the slice is square, and then that
makes sense. I'm not sure if that's true, but yeah,
supposedly it was started in the thirties and forties in
Milwaukee and Chicago, tavern style. So if you argue that
there is no such thing, there's a whole Wikipedia page
(14:12):
about it, and I trust it. It's National Make a
Dog's Day, Do that Make your Dog's Day? And Medical
Assist a Recognition Day and one of our favorites around here,
National Nut Day is we love National Nut Day.
