Speaker 1 (00:00):
A text eight five, five, five nine one one oh
three five Fred my sister who is a huge Fred
show supporter. Okay, so that I feel like we're running
for office or something like we're probably if you're a
big supporter of the show, like we're running for mayor
or something collectively, which that would be just a disaster.
I think we'd win, Honestly, I think we could easily win.
But can you imagine if all of us had to
(00:21):
come together to make every decision collectively on something, no
one of us can run and win. And I think
it's probably Paulina. Yes, I'll tell you what. You can
be the older men, the city council woman, and then
I'll be the mayor, and then we'll we'll attempt to
work together on things.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That's a tough job, yea of us.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, that's the worst job ever. I have zero I
believe I could win, Actually I do. Sorry, sorry, Mayor Johnson.
I believe I could be the mayor of I believe
I could win. Wow, I think I had the name recognition.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yes, of course you do.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I think in this city all you have to do
is get you don't You only have to win the
runoff of the runoff for the runoff, So I think
the name recognition alone would I'd have to quit my job. Yeah,
I don't do that, but I I think enough people
would see on the ballot and be like this guy,
you know, may and then maybe it's possible.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I would never do it. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And by the way, that's not because I'm qualified or
because i'd be a good editor, because I should. I
just think that, you know, you know, we talk enough
and we say fred enough. I think I could probably,
I think I could win. I think I really could. Yeah, no,
I'm not knowing. I shouldn't. It's a terrible job. Being
a politician is an awful job. But but that's none
of this matter. Speak a change, be the change you
(01:28):
want to see.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh that's beautiful. It doesn't matter like you.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You have to pick a party and then you know
I'm I'm and then immediately I'm here by half of
the people. The only way I would do it is
I could start my own party of like people that
makes like the cops make people that make sense, to
be the people that make sense party. It would be
like reasonable, It'd be the Reasonable People Party. It would
be can we just be reasonable. That's all I'm asking for.
Can we just can you? Can you stop being a
(01:53):
holes on both sides and just be reasonable party the
non a whole party.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That would be yeah, exactly that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
None of this matters though, because the text says, my
sister is a huge Fred Show supporter, is having a
baby today. She's being induced this morning and could use
your motivational vibes.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Can you shout a out? Her name is Jackie.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You want you want us to motivate you as you
go into the room.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And they and they make the baby come out of you,
and you you want us to mote it because they're
inducing or Jason, Yeah, I know that. Yeah, and I
know that. It's just a yeah, you seem puzzled your
face was.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Gracious hit me because that's exactly what happens.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I just yeah, makes the baby come out of you.
That's that's what an induction is. You. No, I does
what happens. But that's just a startling phrase to me.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, they're gonna give her potocin baby come out there,
and then the baby comes out.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It could be it could be an hour, it could
be nineteen hours.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
When you see doctor Mike walk in with that cape,
but Harry Potter cape and he's ready.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
To go with the gloves.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
He is, Yeah, he was a cape and he says,
baby's coming right now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh so he doesn't but the gloves until it's time.
Oh no, it's go time. When the gloves come on.
You don't even see him until it's go time.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This smoke, yes, and this music and then this music
you know, plays Hello. I guess you can do this, Jackie,
you can do this, girl. Yeah, it's not gonna take
a long time. It's not gonna take it a long
to It's not gonna hurt at all. And everything's gonna
(03:26):
look normal in three to six months afterwards, gonna look
like it did before.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's gonna look totally normous, right even it might even
look better, even better, right right? I know that's right.
You're the only one has had a baby and I
get tested. That's true. Never looked better, It never looks better.
How long does it take to go back to normal?
Three to six months? You know, ask your professional for
that girl, that's your obi.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Everybody's different.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I've never gotten to the end of the Alan Parsons project.
Eye in the Sky, But boy, we get down with
a guitar, don't we No, Because normally Michael Jordan's been
introduced by now, they're already playing the games.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Scottie Pitten's Dennis Robbins already out there. We're already doing him.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
All right, you got this, Okay, Jackie, you got this? Yes,
everyone look great. Everything's gonna be great. Baby's gonna be healthy.
Notice I'd go right to what the huas gonna look
like in is three to six months.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I assume that.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The baby's going to be perfectly outfread show is course
friend's biggest stories of the day, that you are so
fired up now as a freend Show supporter, Yep, that'd
be the song on stage I would use when I
was on stage, you know when they bring me out
every time. And then of course Alan Parsons Project would
say they would like send me a season desist and
(04:40):
be like, we don't agree with you. Reasonable person. Party,
you know, a whole party, you know, going to Facebook
and bitching party. That's what I would be. I'd be
the no Facebook having party.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah No.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I made actually a city council a city councilman friend
of mine.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I made him very angry by I I don't really
believe this. I was just.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Talking, but I told him I think I could win
the mayor race. He got so mad.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh no, no, you wouldn't know the first thing. You don't
know anything, you couldn't know.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm like, he was just mad because I mean, you know,
I think there are people that would be dumb enough
to see a name they know and go oker, you know,
and oh, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What I'm saying. That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So I feel like it's kind of a learn on
the job sort of thing, like you don't get like
trained to be made.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Clearly not clearly what he's seen. You know, we're still
learning in some cases. Yeah that's fat and we may
never learn in other cases. It depends where you are.
But no, yeah, no, I think. But he was so
mad at me. Oh you think you think? No, I don't.
Actually I don't. I am not qualified. Nobody should vote
for me. I don't know what I'm doing, but I
just think that there are enough people out there who
might recognize the name to go, really that guy, okay,
(05:51):
and then boom and then I have to do it
for what three to six years or however long you
have to do it for. I don't even know how
long the job anyway, No, it's not happening all right, headlines,
biggest stories to day. I hope that was uh. I
hope that was what you were looking for. Jackie's sister.
I hope that was the kind of inspiration that you
needed to go into the day.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
She wanted you to talk about her. Hu huh.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
She did well and I and then I was successful. Yeah,
I did. I always deliver me.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
What's weird though, is that I have friends who have
like ten year olds and we've done this for them
when they were walking around the hospital trying to get
the baby to fall out, and now the kid is
like going to high school, and it's like, remember, hey,
you're Fred, uncle Fred. Remember when you talked about me
when I was like, oh god, Like you're a grown
(06:37):
you're a grown woman.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Like we've been doing this that long.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I mean it's a good thing, right, Like say, that's
what you want. Like when you get into the radio business,
you know, the media business, you want to hang around
for a long time. But then you realize, like, man,
it's been a long time. Yeah, oh boy, Jimmy Kimmel's
back guys, which it didn't take long. I kind of
saw this coming, But Jimmy Kimmel said to return to
ABC tonight after being suspended from making controversial comments about
(07:01):
conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death. Kimmel had falsely claimed that
Kirk's alleged killer was associated with the MAGA movement, despite
authorities clarifying that the suspect may have had left wing views.
At least that's the way that some people characterize what
happened here. In response to ABC temporarily pulled Jimmy Kimmelive
from the air, replacing it with other programming, Kimmel has
negotiated his return but will refuse, has refused and will
(07:24):
not apologize for his remarks. There are still thirty eight
ABC affiliates owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group that have announced
they will not air the upcoming episode, signing the need
for an apology and a donation to Turning Point USA,
the organization founded by Kurt So he's back tonight, and
I had a feeling this would happen, to be honest
(07:45):
with you, because.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I don't think it was necessarily.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The best look for ABC and Disney to say, Okay,
we're going to be influenced here, potentially influenced by the government.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now, if they had.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Said we don't like what you said, you're an employee
of ours. We don't like what you said, We're going
to fire you. Now, that's bad for people. And by
the way, I'm coming from the perspective of someone who
talks for money for a company, right, like, we don't
own this place. I've learned this year. A lot of
people think a lot of people think I own the place.
A lot of people think I own the show. A
(08:19):
lot of people think I write the checks. A lot
of people think I have any power to make any
executive decision around here.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I have none of that. I do none of that.
I am an.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Employee, just like everybody else in this room. That being said,
it's a scary thing if you're in the broadcasting world
to think that I could share my opinion, short of
alienating an advertiser or the company, or saying something hateful
or spiteful or inaccurate, just my opinion about something, especially
in a comedic sense. It's a little scary to think that,
you know that some government influence could say we don't
(08:50):
like that he said that, fire him and then we
get fired, Like that's not great. Now the company deemed
that what I said was inappropriate, well, then I guess
they can fire me, and that sucks. But I signed
a contract that we all sign a contract that says
that they can do that. And it's a shame, but
I guess for me, it's just how about we let
the viewers and the listeners decide whether you think that
the thing that was said was inappropriate, Like, hey, you
might be listening now and saying what Jimmy Kimmel said
(09:12):
was abhorrent. He never should have said that. It wasn't
funny and it was inaccurate. Well, then don't watch. Then
don't watch ever again.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And by the way, this is not a new thought
from me. You know, people, every now and again, we'll come.
We'll text up your eye, you know, like Fred sucks
and you know so and so sucks and these comments. Okay, well,
I'm sorry that you feel that way, and that's not
our intent. But you know, hey, you can do that
all day or if you must. And I don't want this,
but if you must, and don't listen anymore, and then
maybe we'll get fired because the ratings will be bad.
I don't know, like that isn't that Ultimately don't we
(09:41):
all decide as consumers what we're willing to consume and
what we're not. So I guess I don't know. And
it's murky because it depends who you ask about this.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, the free speech line seem I don't understand the rules.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It seems like confusing to me.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
I think a lot of people also don't realize that
it's not just ABC, it's not just Disney and you
touched on this, but like Sinclair on the smaller markets
are running that show, and so that's the issue is
like they were going to lose advertisers, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So it's not just.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
As black as what and white as people thought it was.
But yeah, I don't understand the guidelines for free speech.
I'm confused a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, I needed to go a playbook or something at
this point.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, this was complicated because they're you know again, it's political, right,
It depends who you If you talk to two people
who have two different political viewpoints, they'll describe this whole
thing to you differently. And you know it's well, the
government was saying that he needs to be fired.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well it did seem like.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The government was you know, FCC was involving them, say hey,
we're gonna we're gonna eliminate this sort of smut or
whatever the terminology was from the airwaves. It did seem
that way.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
But then on the.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Flip side, it's like, you know, but but they don't
have the right to do that, and I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think they should, right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I think, I think, short of something that's obscene, and
there are guidelines and regulations about this, but I don't
necessarily think that, you know, the government should be able
to come in and start firing shows or or dictating
who's on the air and who's not. Again, I think
it should be up to the audience to decide what
you want to listen to and what you don't. And
that's not a political it's an a political statement that
I think that's the easiest way to handle this, again,
(11:11):
short of misinformation propaganda. You know, there are protections in
place already for things that we can and can't say,
So maybe we leave it there exactly, But then you've
got you know, people saying, well, Disney can firement if
they want to, they can, And then they could say, well,
advertisers of advertisers don't like it, and then you can say, well,
if individual broadcast companies, if they don't want to air
the show, they don't have to.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well they don't, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's just there are a lot of different angles here,
and it really depends, you know, you know, from what
perspective you view it. It's just for me at the
in in summation, in conclusion, as a dude who talks
for a living, I got a little scared.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I got a little worried.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And you know, I don't know, and we don't say
like crazy things on this show. In fact, like the
design of the show is not to be that way.
It's to sort of be the antithesis of all of
that and of all of that because there's so many
places you can go for the polarity.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
But I don't know, it's just like, well, what are
we doing here? Right?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And the more you talk you can't please everybody, and
we have to be okay with not being pleased.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
If I'm not being pleased somewhere there are other options.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Right, And you know, again it appears what he said
may not have been totally accurate, and that's not great. Again,
then don't watch the show if you don't like it
or whatever. I guess I know business, Yeah, because you
do have power in that. You could just say I'm
not going to support that anymore and then don't. And
I'm not saying you shouldn't speak up if you think
that someone said something you don't agree with. But as
(12:35):
far as like, we're firing people now and we're taking
people off the air, and I don't know, it's just need.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
To stop wanting big changes to happen just because of
their own personal preferences. I think we all need to
individually support and not support who we would like to
do and who we would not, and stop trying to
have others join us.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The Detroit Lions have defeated the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I do hear that? Monday night football? Yeah, we're not
doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You're making your own picture now, Okay, even though I
think you I don't think you would have pick picked it.
I don't think you would have pickn I don't think
you would have What's wrong, I was going to be
mayor and I'm trying not to get canceled, and I'm
picking stuff you would have picked the Ravens anyway, because
you don't pick the Lions for some reason, even though
your friends right there.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, the only time I.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Don't pick the Lions is when they're playing the Bears,
right normally picked you tell.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Me anyway they won and you didn't pick it that.
I don't think like you had the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
When she told me.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I want them to win for you because on a
personal level, but I don't think that's going to happen,
and I have to make the pick.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's correct. That's how I feel. Take that. Yeah, all right,
which is not as good as I thought. Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Gabrielle has intensified into a Category four storm, which is
east of Bermuda. Two more potential tropical systems in near by,
one year the Caribbean and another further east, could develop
later this week. The storms are not an immediate threat
to land, but the area of activity the Leeward Islands
in Bahamas is the wildcard, with the future US impact
possible if atmospheric conditions align.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
That you're a weather guy, Jason, Yes, did it all
makes sense to you?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Atmosphere, you know, we don't want them.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Forecasts indicate that Bermuda could experience rain, gusty winds, and
large swells from the storm. The hurricane will also generate
rough seas and dangerous rip currents along much of the
US East Coast from North Carolina, New England through midweek.
A teenager is in custody for a twenty twenty three
cyber attack on MGM resort casinos.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And in fact, I think we had to go there,
weren't we?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yes, the festival was right around this time, and it
was a complete disaster.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, like none of the machines were nothing to worn
cards where the Wi Fi was down.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like nothing works.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Gosh, But anyway, as a teenager who did this and
is in custody, reportedly cause at least one hundred million
dollars in losses. The hackers gained access by tricking MGM's
IT team into resetting a password and then disabled slaw machines,
hotel key cards, employee emails, and booking systems. Jason, were
you working there like a freelance guy? Did you fall
(15:02):
for the facts of the email schemes?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
They also access some customers personal data, including driver's licenses
and social security numbers. The team turned himself in last
week and could be tried as an adult on charges
including extortion, identity theft, and computer related crimes. I don't
know a lot about this, but I feel like and
I'm not sure how sophisticated this was, but maybe maybe
we hire the team. Maybe we hire the team to
work at MGM, and then maybe you know, this sounds
(15:29):
like a pretty smart group of kids. You know, you're
not supposed to be stealing people's identities and information. Again,
I don't know the full extensive it. I know what
I just read to you, but I don't know. You know,
I know that there are companies I think Apple's, won
maybe Google, where if you can hack them and you
can identify to them how you did it, they'll pay you.
You know, so you find a whole and then I've
(15:49):
read about this before because they don't want you to
hack them. They because if all you want is money,
then they'll they'll say, thank you for telling us where
the whole was. Here's money, and now we'll fix the whole.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Try this for the wedding floor. Let's do it. Yeah,
you guys are going.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
To be hackers now, Well, they need to get this
wedding done.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, Well, then buy a T shirt just like I did.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yeah, well I'm supporting yeah, Kiki, Yeah, that's how you do.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Don't become hackers. I don't need you guys going to
jail or being canceled for any reason. Nearly ninety percent
of daily life runs on autopilot, according to a new study.
Research is found that eighty eight percent of what we
do every day happens out of habit. Two thirds of
our actions triggered automatically by our surroundings. Nearly half of
these habits still match our intentions, meaning they help us
reach goals without much thought. Experts say that this explains
(16:37):
why change is hard routines are deeply ingrained, but also
why building good habits works best when we set up
cues in our environment to trigger them. It's a little
scary if you think about it, But I mean, if
I don't like stop and actually am conscious for a
second the process of getting up every day and getting
ready and coming to work and doing it and sitting here,
(16:58):
I don't. It's about eight thirty before I realize what
I've done, and I've done a whole radio show.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
By that point. It's just automatic.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You know, You get up, you take a shower, you
do those things and whatever you drive and then you
drive to work. You're in a car, you're in a
large object. You move that object that weighed thousands of pounds,
and like I wasn't I mean, I was paying attention
right obviously, because but I also wasn't fully conscious for
that because it's automatic. So you think about like your
routines and stuff. It's a little bit scary. You're like
half awake doing all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It'll be like four o'clock and it'll be like, what
did I What happened today? Right? Because you just get
up and you just know what to do. It's like
you just I gotta do this and that and the
other thing. And Americans are rethinking their subscriptions as rising
costs to make them harder to justify. The average person
has one hundred and twenty dollars in unused services every year,
and new survey shows at households have trimmed their average
(17:48):
from just over four subscriptions last year to fewer than
three and twenty twenty five, with spending dropping slightly to
about thirty seven bucks a month. Streaming services and food
delivery perks are the first to go as price hikes
and password crackdown to push many to cancel or turn
to piracy. I guess using other people's stuff, but on
average one hundred and twenty bucks a year in unused subscriptions,
(18:09):
so you gotta think about that.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, that's probably true.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I think I have like multiple, like Netflix subscriptions or
something like I signed up and then I forgot.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
This is why you're broke. You don't pay a mortgage,
but you're broke. It's because you have seven Netflix subscriptions.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Probably also the worst memory.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
So I feel like I signed up for stuff, then
I forget, and then it's I sign up again, and
now I'm paying again.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
This is my pro tip for you, and this might
be the most valuable thing I've said in forty two
minutes today, is is go, like, if you have a
credit card, go look at the like look it up
on the website the benefits of your credit card, because
I don't really I hadn't really done this for a while,
and then I went looked at Mike. Wait, manute, I
can get door Dash like my credit card. I can
get DoorDash monthly for free if I get the subscription
(18:50):
thing and I put it on my credit card to
take it off tsa pre check free. I think Clear
is fe I don't know. A bunch of stuff is free.
There's like Lululemon credit on one of them. There's always stuff.
You got Uber credit per month on it. I didn't
know about any of this because they don't. They don't
really tell you. It's almost like they don't really want
you to know. But if you go like, I'm like, well,
I can get Disney Plus for free, you know, which
(19:10):
is why I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Have to cancel it.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Can I see what kind of card do you have?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, no, you can't. It's it's a uh, it's a
it's a it's a gift card.
A text eight five, five, five nine one one oh
three five Fred my sister who is a huge Fred
show supporter. Okay, so that I feel like we're running
for office or something like we're probably if you're a
big supporter of the show, like we're running for mayor
or something collectively, which that would be just a disaster.
I think we'd win, Honestly, I think we could easily win.
But can you imagine if all of us had to
(00:21):
come together to make every decision collectively on something, no
one of us can run and win. And I think
it's probably Paulina. Yes, I'll tell you what. You can
be the older men, the city council woman, and then
I'll be the mayor, and then we'll we'll attempt to
work together on things.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
That's a tough job, yea of us.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, that's the worst job ever. I have zero I
believe I could win, Actually I do. Sorry, sorry, Mayor Johnson.
I believe I could be the mayor of I believe
I could win. Wow, I think I had the name recognition.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yes, of course you do.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
I think in this city all you have to do
is get you don't You only have to win the
runoff of the runoff for the runoff, So I think
the name recognition alone would I'd have to quit my job. Yeah,
I don't do that, but I I think enough people
would see on the ballot and be like this guy,
you know, may and then maybe it's possible.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I would never do it. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
And by the way, that's not because I'm qualified or
because i'd be a good editor, because I should. I
just think that, you know, you know, we talk enough
and we say fred enough. I think I could probably,
I think I could win. I think I really could. Yeah, no,
I'm not knowing. I shouldn't. It's a terrible job. Being
a politician is an awful job. But but that's none
of this matter. Speak a change, be the change you
(01:28):
want to see.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Oh that's beautiful. It doesn't matter like you.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
You have to pick a party and then you know
I'm I'm and then immediately I'm here by half of
the people. The only way I would do it is
I could start my own party of like people that
makes like the cops make people that make sense, to
be the people that make sense party. It would be
like reasonable, It'd be the Reasonable People Party. It would
be can we just be reasonable. That's all I'm asking for.
Can we just can you? Can you stop being a
(01:53):
holes on both sides and just be reasonable party the
non a whole party.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
That would be yeah, exactly that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
None of this matters though, because the text says, my
sister is a huge Fred Show supporter, is having a
baby today. She's being induced this morning and could use
your motivational vibes.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Can you shout a out? Her name is Jackie.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
You want you want us to motivate you as you
go into the room.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And they and they make the baby come out of you,
and you you want us to mote it because they're
inducing or Jason, Yeah, I know that. Yeah, and I
know that. It's just a yeah, you seem puzzled your
face was.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Gracious hit me because that's exactly what happens.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I just yeah, makes the baby come out of you.
That's that's what an induction is. You. No, I does
what happens. But that's just a startling phrase to me.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Yeah, they're gonna give her potocin baby come out there,
and then the baby comes out.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It could be it could be an hour, it could
be nineteen hours.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
When you see doctor Mike walk in with that cape,
but Harry Potter cape and he's ready.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
To go with the gloves.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
He is, Yeah, he was a cape and he says,
baby's coming right now.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Oh so he doesn't but the gloves until it's time.
Oh no, it's go time. When the gloves come on.
You don't even see him until it's go time.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This smoke, yes, and this music and then this music
you know, plays Hello. I guess you can do this, Jackie,
you can do this, girl. Yeah, it's not gonna take
a long time. It's not gonna take it a long
to It's not gonna hurt at all. And everything's gonna
(03:26):
look normal in three to six months afterwards, gonna look
like it did before.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It's gonna look totally normous, right even it might even
look better, even better, right right? I know that's right.
You're the only one has had a baby and I
get tested. That's true. Never looked better, It never looks better.
How long does it take to go back to normal?
Three to six months? You know, ask your professional for
that girl, that's your obi.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Everybody's different.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
I've never gotten to the end of the Alan Parsons project.
Eye in the Sky, But boy, we get down with
a guitar, don't we No, Because normally Michael Jordan's been
introduced by now, they're already playing the games.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Scottie Pitten's Dennis Robbins already out there. We're already doing him.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
All right, you got this, Okay, Jackie, you got this? Yes,
everyone look great. Everything's gonna be great. Baby's gonna be healthy.
Notice I'd go right to what the huas gonna look
like in is three to six months.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I assume that.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The baby's going to be perfectly outfread show is course
friend's biggest stories of the day, that you are so
fired up now as a freend Show supporter, Yep, that'd
be the song on stage I would use when I
was on stage, you know when they bring me out
every time. And then of course Alan Parsons Project would
say they would like send me a season desist and
(04:40):
be like, we don't agree with you. Reasonable person. Party,
you know, a whole party, you know, going to Facebook
and bitching party. That's what I would be. I'd be
the no Facebook having party.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Yeah No.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I made actually a city council a city councilman friend
of mine.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I made him very angry by I I don't really
believe this. I was just.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Talking, but I told him I think I could win
the mayor race. He got so mad.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh no, no, you wouldn't know the first thing. You don't
know anything, you couldn't know.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I'm like, he was just mad because I mean, you know,
I think there are people that would be dumb enough
to see a name they know and go oker, you know,
and oh, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What I'm saying. That's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
So I feel like it's kind of a learn on
the job sort of thing, like you don't get like
trained to be made.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Clearly not clearly what he's seen. You know, we're still
learning in some cases. Yeah that's fat and we may
never learn in other cases. It depends where you are.
But no, yeah, no, I think. But he was so
mad at me. Oh you think you think? No, I don't.
Actually I don't. I am not qualified. Nobody should vote
for me. I don't know what I'm doing, but I
just think that there are enough people out there who
might recognize the name to go, really that guy, okay,
(05:51):
and then boom and then I have to do it
for what three to six years or however long you
have to do it for. I don't even know how
long the job anyway, No, it's not happening all right, headlines,
biggest stories to day. I hope that was uh. I
hope that was what you were looking for. Jackie's sister.
I hope that was the kind of inspiration that you
needed to go into the day.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
She wanted you to talk about her. Hu huh.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
She did well and I and then I was successful. Yeah,
I did. I always deliver me.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
What's weird though, is that I have friends who have
like ten year olds and we've done this for them
when they were walking around the hospital trying to get
the baby to fall out, and now the kid is
like going to high school, and it's like, remember, hey,
you're Fred, uncle Fred. Remember when you talked about me
when I was like, oh god, Like you're a grown
(06:37):
you're a grown woman.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Like we've been doing this that long.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I mean it's a good thing, right, Like say, that's
what you want. Like when you get into the radio business,
you know, the media business, you want to hang around
for a long time. But then you realize, like, man,
it's been a long time. Yeah, oh boy, Jimmy Kimmel's
back guys, which it didn't take long. I kind of
saw this coming, But Jimmy Kimmel said to return to
ABC tonight after being suspended from making controversial comments about
(07:01):
conservative activist Charlie Kirk's death. Kimmel had falsely claimed that
Kirk's alleged killer was associated with the MAGA movement, despite
authorities clarifying that the suspect may have had left wing views.
At least that's the way that some people characterize what
happened here. In response to ABC temporarily pulled Jimmy Kimmelive
from the air, replacing it with other programming, Kimmel has
negotiated his return but will refuse, has refused and will
(07:24):
not apologize for his remarks. There are still thirty eight
ABC affiliates owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group that have announced
they will not air the upcoming episode, signing the need
for an apology and a donation to Turning Point USA,
the organization founded by Kurt So he's back tonight, and
I had a feeling this would happen, to be honest
(07:45):
with you, because.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I don't think it was necessarily.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The best look for ABC and Disney to say, Okay,
we're going to be influenced here, potentially influenced by the government.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Now, if they had.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Said we don't like what you said, you're an employee
of ours. We don't like what you said, We're going
to fire you. Now, that's bad for people. And by
the way, I'm coming from the perspective of someone who
talks for money for a company, right, like, we don't
own this place. I've learned this year. A lot of
people think a lot of people think I own the place.
A lot of people think I own the show. A
(08:19):
lot of people think I write the checks. A lot
of people think I have any power to make any
executive decision around here.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I have none of that. I do none of that.
I am an.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Employee, just like everybody else in this room. That being said,
it's a scary thing if you're in the broadcasting world
to think that I could share my opinion, short of
alienating an advertiser or the company, or saying something hateful
or spiteful or inaccurate, just my opinion about something, especially
in a comedic sense. It's a little scary to think that,
you know that some government influence could say we don't
(08:50):
like that he said that, fire him and then we
get fired, Like that's not great. Now the company deemed
that what I said was inappropriate, well, then I guess
they can fire me, and that sucks. But I signed
a contract that we all sign a contract that says
that they can do that. And it's a shame, but
I guess for me, it's just how about we let
the viewers and the listeners decide whether you think that
the thing that was said was inappropriate, Like, hey, you
might be listening now and saying what Jimmy Kimmel said
(09:12):
was abhorrent. He never should have said that. It wasn't
funny and it was inaccurate. Well, then don't watch. Then
don't watch ever again.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
And by the way, this is not a new thought
from me. You know, people, every now and again, we'll come.
We'll text up your eye, you know, like Fred sucks
and you know so and so sucks and these comments. Okay, well,
I'm sorry that you feel that way, and that's not
our intent. But you know, hey, you can do that
all day or if you must. And I don't want this,
but if you must, and don't listen anymore, and then
maybe we'll get fired because the ratings will be bad.
I don't know, like that isn't that Ultimately don't we
(09:41):
all decide as consumers what we're willing to consume and
what we're not. So I guess I don't know. And
it's murky because it depends who you ask about this.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Yeah, the free speech line seem I don't understand the rules.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It seems like confusing to me.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
I think a lot of people also don't realize that
it's not just ABC, it's not just Disney and you
touched on this, but like Sinclair on the smaller markets
are running that show, and so that's the issue is
like they were going to lose advertisers, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
So it's not just.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
As black as what and white as people thought it was.
But yeah, I don't understand the guidelines for free speech.
I'm confused a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, I needed to go a playbook or something at
this point.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Well, this was complicated because they're you know again, it's political, right,
It depends who you If you talk to two people
who have two different political viewpoints, they'll describe this whole
thing to you differently. And you know it's well, the
government was saying that he needs to be fired.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Well it did seem like.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
The government was you know, FCC was involving them, say hey,
we're gonna we're gonna eliminate this sort of smut or
whatever the terminology was from the airwaves. It did seem
that way.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
But then on the.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Flip side, it's like, you know, but but they don't
have the right to do that, and I don't.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I don't think they should, right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I think, I think, short of something that's obscene, and
there are guidelines and regulations about this, but I don't
necessarily think that, you know, the government should be able
to come in and start firing shows or or dictating
who's on the air and who's not. Again, I think
it should be up to the audience to decide what
you want to listen to and what you don't. And
that's not a political it's an a political statement that
I think that's the easiest way to handle this, again,
(11:11):
short of misinformation propaganda. You know, there are protections in
place already for things that we can and can't say,
So maybe we leave it there exactly, But then you've
got you know, people saying, well, Disney can firement if
they want to, they can, And then they could say, well,
advertisers of advertisers don't like it, and then you can say, well,
if individual broadcast companies, if they don't want to air
the show, they don't have to.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Well they don't, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
It's just there are a lot of different angles here,
and it really depends, you know, you know, from what
perspective you view it. It's just for me at the
in in summation, in conclusion, as a dude who talks
for a living, I got a little scared.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I got a little worried.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
And you know, I don't know, and we don't say
like crazy things on this show. In fact, like the
design of the show is not to be that way.
It's to sort of be the antithesis of all of
that and of all of that because there's so many
places you can go for the polarity.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
But I don't know, it's just like, well, what are
we doing here? Right?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
And the more you talk you can't please everybody, and
we have to be okay with not being pleased.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
If I'm not being pleased somewhere there are other options.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Right, And you know, again it appears what he said
may not have been totally accurate, and that's not great. Again,
then don't watch the show if you don't like it
or whatever. I guess I know business, Yeah, because you
do have power in that. You could just say I'm
not going to support that anymore and then don't. And
I'm not saying you shouldn't speak up if you think
that someone said something you don't agree with. But as
(12:35):
far as like, we're firing people now and we're taking
people off the air, and I don't know, it's just need.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
To stop wanting big changes to happen just because of
their own personal preferences. I think we all need to
individually support and not support who we would like to
do and who we would not, and stop trying to
have others join us.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The Detroit Lions have defeated the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
I do hear that? Monday night football? Yeah, we're not
doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You're making your own picture now, Okay, even though I
think you I don't think you would have pick picked it.
I don't think you would have pickn I don't think
you would have What's wrong, I was going to be
mayor and I'm trying not to get canceled, and I'm
picking stuff you would have picked the Ravens anyway, because
you don't pick the Lions for some reason, even though
your friends right there.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, the only time I.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Don't pick the Lions is when they're playing the Bears,
right normally picked you tell.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Me anyway they won and you didn't pick it that.
I don't think like you had the Ravens.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
When she told me.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I want them to win for you because on a
personal level, but I don't think that's going to happen,
and I have to make the pick.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's correct. That's how I feel. Take that. Yeah, all right,
which is not as good as I thought. Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Gabrielle has intensified into a Category four storm, which is
east of Bermuda. Two more potential tropical systems in near by,
one year the Caribbean and another further east, could develop
later this week. The storms are not an immediate threat
to land, but the area of activity the Leeward Islands
in Bahamas is the wildcard, with the future US impact
possible if atmospheric conditions align.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
That you're a weather guy, Jason, Yes, did it all
makes sense to you?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Atmosphere, you know, we don't want them.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Forecasts indicate that Bermuda could experience rain, gusty winds, and
large swells from the storm. The hurricane will also generate
rough seas and dangerous rip currents along much of the
US East Coast from North Carolina, New England through midweek.
A teenager is in custody for a twenty twenty three
cyber attack on MGM resort casinos.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And in fact, I think we had to go there,
weren't we?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yes, the festival was right around this time, and it
was a complete disaster.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah, like none of the machines were nothing to worn
cards where the Wi Fi was down.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Like nothing works.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Gosh, But anyway, as a teenager who did this and
is in custody, reportedly cause at least one hundred million
dollars in losses. The hackers gained access by tricking MGM's
IT team into resetting a password and then disabled slaw machines,
hotel key cards, employee emails, and booking systems. Jason, were
you working there like a freelance guy? Did you fall
(15:02):
for the facts of the email schemes?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
And this is what happened.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
They also access some customers personal data, including driver's licenses
and social security numbers. The team turned himself in last
week and could be tried as an adult on charges
including extortion, identity theft, and computer related crimes. I don't
know a lot about this, but I feel like and
I'm not sure how sophisticated this was, but maybe maybe
we hire the team. Maybe we hire the team to
work at MGM, and then maybe you know, this sounds
(15:29):
like a pretty smart group of kids. You know, you're
not supposed to be stealing people's identities and information. Again,
I don't know the full extensive it. I know what
I just read to you, but I don't know. You know,
I know that there are companies I think Apple's, won
maybe Google, where if you can hack them and you
can identify to them how you did it, they'll pay you.
You know, so you find a whole and then I've
(15:49):
read about this before because they don't want you to
hack them. They because if all you want is money,
then they'll they'll say, thank you for telling us where
the whole was. Here's money, and now we'll fix the whole.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Try this for the wedding floor. Let's do it. Yeah,
you guys are going.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
To be hackers now, Well, they need to get this
wedding done.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Yeah, Well, then buy a T shirt just like I did.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Yeah, well I'm supporting yeah, Kiki, Yeah, that's how you do.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Don't become hackers. I don't need you guys going to
jail or being canceled for any reason. Nearly ninety percent
of daily life runs on autopilot, according to a new study.
Research is found that eighty eight percent of what we
do every day happens out of habit. Two thirds of
our actions triggered automatically by our surroundings. Nearly half of
these habits still match our intentions, meaning they help us
reach goals without much thought. Experts say that this explains
(16:37):
why change is hard routines are deeply ingrained, but also
why building good habits works best when we set up
cues in our environment to trigger them. It's a little
scary if you think about it, But I mean, if
I don't like stop and actually am conscious for a
second the process of getting up every day and getting
ready and coming to work and doing it and sitting here,
(16:58):
I don't. It's about eight thirty before I realize what
I've done, and I've done a whole radio show.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
By that point. It's just automatic.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
You know, You get up, you take a shower, you
do those things and whatever you drive and then you
drive to work. You're in a car, you're in a
large object. You move that object that weighed thousands of pounds,
and like I wasn't I mean, I was paying attention
right obviously, because but I also wasn't fully conscious for
that because it's automatic. So you think about like your
routines and stuff. It's a little bit scary. You're like
half awake doing all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It'll be like four o'clock and it'll be like, what
did I What happened today? Right? Because you just get
up and you just know what to do. It's like
you just I gotta do this and that and the
other thing. And Americans are rethinking their subscriptions as rising
costs to make them harder to justify. The average person
has one hundred and twenty dollars in unused services every year,
and new survey shows at households have trimmed their average
(17:48):
from just over four subscriptions last year to fewer than
three and twenty twenty five, with spending dropping slightly to
about thirty seven bucks a month. Streaming services and food
delivery perks are the first to go as price hikes
and password crackdown to push many to cancel or turn
to piracy. I guess using other people's stuff, but on
average one hundred and twenty bucks a year in unused subscriptions,
(18:09):
so you gotta think about that.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yeah, that's probably true.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I think I have like multiple, like Netflix subscriptions or
something like I signed up and then I forgot.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
This is why you're broke. You don't pay a mortgage,
but you're broke. It's because you have seven Netflix subscriptions.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Probably also the worst memory.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
So I feel like I signed up for stuff, then
I forget, and then it's I sign up again, and
now I'm paying again.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
This is my pro tip for you, and this might
be the most valuable thing I've said in forty two
minutes today, is is go, like, if you have a
credit card, go look at the like look it up
on the website the benefits of your credit card, because
I don't really I hadn't really done this for a while,
and then I went looked at Mike. Wait, manute, I
can get door Dash like my credit card. I can
get DoorDash monthly for free if I get the subscription
(18:50):
thing and I put it on my credit card to
take it off tsa pre check free. I think Clear
is fe I don't know. A bunch of stuff is free.
There's like Lululemon credit on one of them. There's always stuff.
You got Uber credit per month on it. I didn't
know about any of this because they don't. They don't
really tell you. It's almost like they don't really want
you to know. But if you go like, I'm like, well,
I can get Disney Plus for free, you know, which
(19:10):
is why I didn't.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Have to cancel it.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Can I see what kind of card do you have?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, no, you can't. It's it's a uh, it's a
it's a it's a gift card.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
