It's all thanks to Live Nation.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Fred's the biggest stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Let's say two things that do annoy me.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And we were talking about this off the air at
a restaurant, I will say this. If you ordered like guess,
I'll have the chef salad, but I don't want ham, turkey, chicken, cheese, egg, lettuce,
branch dressing. Okay, well then this hard boiled eggs right right? No,
(00:55):
I think I said noel. I don't remember if I
said no egg. But don't bring me egg either. So
now it's like, so what what do you want them?
So you want? I think that's all the ingredients actually,
so there's nothing left. My mom does this all the time. Yes,
I would like you know, i'd like a hamburger, uh
you know medium, I'd like the fries extra crispy. I'd
like the cheese, you know, churned this morning. I don't
(01:20):
want this kind of lettuce. I want that kind of
lettuce eventually, but this is I'm paying for it, so
I should have what I want. Like well then why,
well then why did we go here? If you're going
to change absolutely everything about it, then why are we
even here? Like that's that's my thing is if what
you just ordered resembles doesn't resemble anything like what was
on the menu, then I think you're almost better off
(01:42):
saying what you want as opposed to what you ordered. Yes,
I'll have the fish tacos with chicken. It's like, well, okay,
but it's a totally different preparation. Oh yeah, well then
I want the chicken talco.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Ah damn. Now that that is a real thing.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Like in places like Raisin Canes, it's so hard you
can't get fancy there. And that bothers me because I
want to say give me extra this and no solid this,
like I want to make some type of modification. But
it's like it's either chicken strips or not. Like you're
gonna have the strips or you're not. There's no other
way to mix this up.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It's just like, yeah, look, if you don't want mayo,
if you don't want like, if there's a single ingredient
that you don't like, I don't like onion. A lot
of people don't like onions. I'll eat them, but a
lot of people don't like onions. A lot of people
don't like mayo. A lot of people, you know, they
can't eat cheese or whatever. So it's like, hey, or
if it's an allergy, that's different. But then again, if
if you have an allergy, then you know, when you're
(02:32):
ordering that item, maybe that's not the item for you know.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
All I'm saying is just write down the rules because
it's a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, there was another one. I don't like.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Oh oh, when people are like obsessed with where the
food was was sourced. That's a new one. Now. Look,
if you if you're going if you have a serious
dietary restriction right there, you really are very concerned about
this out or the other thing, then I think that's
something where maybe you'd like jump online or you know,
(03:02):
like if you're worried about seed oils or something like that,
like health related. But it's like, yes, where is this
cod sourced from? I don't know, the back of a
truck because you're in chili's and it was deep fried.
Or my favorite of the people who are so persnickety
about well, I don't eat meat, or I don't do this,
or I don't do that, and then they'll they'll just
(03:23):
snarf down if that's the word, some potbellies chili that
shits meat, meat on meat on meat, just ground beef
all in it.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
My thing is like, but I thought we just did
a whole hour about how you can't eat meat, but
then you eat it.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Then you'll then you eat it right in for it,
like you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Like sometimes I just think, I think these kind of
activities can be attention seeking sometimes where it's like, oh,
I couldn't possibly eat that it has meat in it.
The next day you talk about going to McDonald's having
a big mac, yeah, or you know, oh I don't,
I don't I only eat some I only eat organic
this and that, and then you know, but but you'll
eat a taco bell double deckerd taco from the White
two came inn you. Oh, well, that's certainly not organic.
(04:02):
It's delicious and you should eat it. You should eat it,
but it's but why do we just have this whole
debate about how, oh my gosh, I my body can
tell the difference between you know, a farm raised and
wild caught. Who we all know people who they make
a big scene out of things, but then it turns
(04:22):
out they don't really they don't really have to do that.
Mark your wife does this, does the ingredients thing.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Yeah, she does it every time we go on. We
go out and she's like, no, I don't want no
crew times.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Oh that's it, just the cr I mean if she
doesn't want crew times, I'm not offended by oh oh yeah,
I think, yeah, you cut out, so she'll order the
salad without any.
Speaker 5 (04:45):
Salad exactly and with fork and school.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah right, And we could have saved ourself a lot
of time if you just said give me a bowl
and a fork.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
We then album going this time the weekend and she
was like, I don't want those long green things. I
was like, oh my gosh, you mean peppers. And she's like,
I don't want the blackberings and then I don't want
this and I don't want that. And I was just like,
oh my gosh, she's like no cheese. I was like, oh,
I couldn't get a lettuce cauld I could get home.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I mean I could have said we could have brought
you a head of lettuce and then said a lot
of money and time. We don't even have to be here, right, yeah, yeah,
thank you, thank you. Have a good day. Man.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Thought you called Christina? You do the sourcings thing.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
I you know what, So I want the type of
person I would totally admit like mao or pickles or cheese,
because I don't like like creamy, creamy things very much.
But if I go to a restaurant or something like
that and they've got fish on the menu, Like my
husband and I we were at a restaurant this weekend
and I was like, you know, where is the salmon source?
(05:58):
Is it wild caught or is it firmed? And she
and she's like, let me go check. And she went
and checked and she said it is wild caught, and
it's like it has a different flavor and taste and
it's just it's it's not the same. And I wouldn't
have ordered it. I wouldn't have ordered salmon if it
had been.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, look I get it's fitched fifty bucks on the
menu or whatever. So you want what you want. But
I guess what I'm saying is were you at you know?
Were you at Applebee's? Or were you at you know La?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Like I mean, because like let's let's let's meet our expectations,
Like let's meet the restaurant where they are, you know,
Like if I'm at Portillo's, I'm not you know, is
this angus beef?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't know. I don't have no id.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
No, it's not. It's off the back of a drug.
It was frozen, you know. So I mean, I don't
want you to not get what you want. I just
think sometimes it's like, okay, here we go. Is this
organic lettuce? But is it organic? Hydro planic?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Was it? Was it?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Where's the greenhouse located? What kind of soil do you
think was it? It's like, I don't know, I don't know.
I don't know. It's lettuce. It's lettuce.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Steve.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Why are you here? Christina? I love you, have a
good day.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
I love you, But can I one thing?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Of course?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
You can awesome.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
So the thing is so like this was definitely like
it wasn't like a one Like it wasn't an Applebee's
or McDonald's or something like this. This was like a
local business on the outer banks.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
So you'd assume that, yes, they have fresh deeps.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I think that's fair though, like here we are, we're
near water, Like did you get what I'm eating out
of that water or some other kind of water or
no water at all? Like was it grown in space
or something like? I think I think that's fair. That's
a fair question to ask. But again, like if we're
in you know, Kansas City and you're asking me where
the where the tuna came from and if it's been
frozen and how many times?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
And and you know what what was the fish's name?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You know, and like was it nice?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Was it was?
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, did you talk to it nice before you
killed it? You know?
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Like, I don't know these can any questions you want?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You can ask everything.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Thank you, Christy to have a good day.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
Thanks again.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I mean, and now and now we all sound like pricks,
But no, no, I.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Need to look up the menu. You want to know
where the fish came from? Get on Google you on
TikTok uh. Yeah, I just are you guys sound fun?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think you know. Let's read the room, guys.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
A sixty nine year old truck driver identified as a
gun in Perry, he ended up stabbing former NFL quarterback
Mark Sanchez. He sued Sanchez and Fox Corporation in civil court.
I think they're both still in the hospital, so they
didn't waste any time in this. In the lawsuit, he
claims that Sanchez instigated an altercation while appearing intoxicated. He
says he suffered significant injuries to his head, jawn, neck,
(08:33):
and was left permanently disfigured. He's seeking compensatory impunitive damages,
money for what he lost and extra to penalize Sanchez,
plus legal costs. And I know he's I mentioned this.
He's doing Sanchez himself and Fox.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
I did mention that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Travelers across the US are feeling the effects of the
government shutdown as a shortage of air traffic controllers causes
delays at major airports. Controllers are considered essential workers, so
they have to work during the shutdown, but they're not
being paid. Consequently, more controllers are calling out sick. One
of the most severe disruptions happened yesterday at California's Burbank Airport,
where the control tower was shut down completely in the
(09:12):
middle of the day, resulting in hours long delays. The
towers at Burbank, Phoenix, and Denver all had staffing triggers,
which were reported in the public FAA Operations plan on
the facilities at handle air traffic around airports in Newark,
New Jersey, Jacksonville, Florida, Chicago and DC. Also Indianapolis were
also short staff. So think about that. The controllers are
(09:35):
many of them are working still, and yet they're not
being paid or don't know when they're going to get
paid until the shutdown's over. So and these guys are
the backbone of all the business and personal travel.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That you're doing. So we're grateful to all of them.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
The oldest operating casino in Las Vegas, the El Cortez
Hotel and Casino, has launched a Halloween season contest. They're
going to pay five grand to one lucky person to
spend a weekend exploring its most haunted areas.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
Oh my goodness, I was just there. I didn't realize
it was so haunted. At the El Cortes Old Vegas
five thousand dollars. The winner will use ghost hunting tools
like EMF meters and thermal sensors to investigate reported paranormal
activity in places like the casino floor and creepy hallways.
The contest runs through October, with the ghost hunt scheduled
for early December. Applicants must document evidence of their findings,
(10:27):
and rumors even suggest the basement holds the remains of
former employees, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Wow, would you do this? Do you mess with this stuff?
Like there's the Congress Hotel in Chicago on Michigan Avenue,
which is notoriously haunted, and I guess you can stay
in rooms where people have been killed or ghosts still
linger or whatever. I mean, are we messing with this stuff?
I think a lot of it is probably meant, I mean,
probably all mental. We're being real, Like I don't know
that ghosts are like really like you know, I poking
(10:56):
you when you sleep, and like, hey, you know, if
I'm a ghost, I'm busy. Like I'm a ghost now,
Like I can float around and I can look at
way more exciting stuff than you sleep in your hairnet
or whatever, Like I could be doing all kinds of
cool stuff. I'm dead, So why am I messing with you?
You know?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
But would you do it?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Like if I said, hey, I'll give you, you know, X
amount of dollars to stay in a hotel room where
somebody was murdered for the night, would you do it? Well,
I'm not like sleeping there.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
We toured an old like mental health hospital in northern
Michigan and there were absolutely like a door slammed behind me.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I felt stuff.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
My grandpa saw someone waving in a window and there
was no one there, like it's real.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I still contend though, that if I tell you this
place is really haunted and it's the middle of the
night and it's very scary, it's haunted. Your your your
brain is your condition. Now you're going to walk in
and you're going to any anything that would if I
didn't tell you that, and any creek or you know whatever.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Well, I grew up in a house that was haunted
and no one told me that, like until the ghost
mess with me.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
It shows Brad, you'd never grow up with a girl.
They're real to share our space. Well, I don't, I
don't know that. I haven't grown up with a ghosts.
I just know one's messed with you. They know I
haven't seen it. I haven't seen the ghost I have. Okay,
it's creepy, okay. And there's no possibility that there's no
possibility that you made that up.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
In your head.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
No I was a child, No possibility that you that
you just sort of created that. My mom is just
like me, and when we believe, we stick together.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
She's had priests in my house, in my new house,
every house, every we went like always blessing it because
I we don't mess with that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Because I do believe in spirits and reincarnation. There's a
lot of things I believe in, but I don't. I
don't necessarily think that they're coming back to mess with us.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
That doesn't make any sense to me. Like if I die,
I'm in heaven now. I don't got time for you.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I don't think happy ghosts are messing with us. But
I think if something tragic happened, sometimes well I would.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Hope they're in a better place than if something tragic happens.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
But anyway, young people, teams and folks in their twenties
are are falling in love with old tech again.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
So now.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Young people they want flip phones, digital cameras like physical
cameras and CDs. Why Because many feel overwhelmed by smartphones
in constant screen time. They want simple devices that don't
imend their attention. Retro or dumb devices often come with
just the basics calls, text, maybe a camera, no NonStop
aps to social medium. So it's not a nostalgic trip necessarily,
(13:22):
it's a reaction to feeling controlled by tech, trying to
take back agency over attention and focus. I would love
to try that to run here. I'm not even sure
if my brain could allow it anymore. To the final
point there about how we're all being controlled by tech
and the expectations. Because if I went to the people
here and say, hey, guys, guess what I'm getting a
flip phone and there's no email on that thing, so sorry.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
But if you email me and.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Ask me for something at three pm, sorry, not gonna
be able to get to it. I don't have it
on my phone anymore. Oh and by the way, if
you text me, I probably won't respond because I may
not get it. But it'll also take me four hours
to write a sentence because I have to push the
same button three times to get the letter that I want.
So sorry, guys. You know, if you hit me between
business hours, I'll be happy to get to it. But
I'm overwhelmed by tech, so I'm not going to do
(14:06):
any of that. How would that go over?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Really?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I guess you people getting fired for this because the
expectation is that you're reachable everywhere and you can do
anything anywhere you go. Oh, you have the Internet, you
have an app, you have an iPad, you have a laptop,
so I can you know?
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Oh you can handle that right now, can't you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
My favorite of the people who need stuff right now.
I had this happen last weekend. There's a person who's
notorious for constantly needing what they need right this second,
no matter when it is. And then I asked a
question and it was, respectfully, you can contact me during
business hours?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Oh can I?
Speaker 5 (14:40):
WHOA?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh can I?
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Well?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Then so can you?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And scene and also this is the last story is
for you. I have two. I have two, and then
we're moving on from headlines. This is for you.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Ki kip TikTok may play a role in why some
women are sexually attracted to criminals.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Huh yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Researchers analyzed dozens of TikTok videos and comments that romanticized offenders,
clips where users joked, flirted, or said they could fix criminals.
They found recurring themes like glorifying their looks, imagining themselves
as victims, or confusing actors who play criminals with the
real thing. They then serve a ninety five Young women
who use TikTok and those who actively liked or watched
(15:22):
this kind of content score to hire on a new scale,
which is a term for attraction to criminals hybrisk to
philia I hope I said that right personality traits like
manipulativeness and lack of remorse were also linked to this attraction.
The study is small, but suggests that TikTok doesn't just
(15:42):
reflect these fantasies, it may help fuel them. Oh wow,
there's a whole culture on the internet about this, about
inmates that have dating profiles on a website. You can
send them money, you can connect with them. Would you
ever have any interest in a criminal a convict?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
No, not currently, but criminals love to Yeah? Yeah, do
you ever?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Are you on that side of TikTok where you see
videos made by people in prison.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
No, I were jail.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
What's before? I was there?
Speaker 3 (16:08):
And I was very curious on how they got the devices?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And then you much better WiFi than I do. How's
that possible? Yeah? Try? Someone is lighting? Where'd you get
the lighted?
Speaker 5 (16:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
You get a BATCHI grills sometimes I feel, yeah, it's
very wild in there.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's like, man, you got a full setup in there. Right,
they stream a lot. Where where'd you get the little
pell mic from? Like?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
What's going on? And ARB's because you know, I love
a food story. Arby's has rolled out what it says
is the first of its kind product. It's steak nuggets.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
I'm good. Does this hit the same way a chicken
nugget does?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
In a news release, the company described the offering as
a premium protein product and a whole new way to nugget.
The nuggets, which were offered It's Like locations earlier this year,
will be available across the country for a limited time
starting Monday. Arb says the juicy, handcut, bite sized pieces
of steak will be offered in servings of five or
nine pieces with hickory barbecue sauce for dipping in sandwiches
(16:59):
or on top of mac and cheese in the steak
nugget bowl. Now, I know you don't need meat. I
know you don't eat cows, Kaitlin. But like you know,
they're trying to develop a new category here, so we're
all we all have this look on our face like eh,
but is it because we don't want it or because
it's just new, it's a new concept, like, well, we've
(17:21):
never tried that before, never tried a steak nugget before.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
You know, if you guys want to eat a steak nugget,
I'm happy for you.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
I just I didn't hit the same way for me
because you know, the chicken nuggets have the breading on it.
I don't think these are bread, and I think these
are just chunks of meat, so I think you'd have
to have a fork. So the finger food you know,
component is lost. Yeah, no, not for you. It's National
Taco Day to day, a national bathtub Day. Today the
entertainer of Fort Taco got me more than bathtub
