Speaker 1 (00:29):
The Day Text.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
My rule with my kids was after you have your
college degree, I don't care what you do tattoos, wake
up with your partner, go for it whatever I think.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I think, and especially if you don't live in a house,
like once you've officially moved out of the house and
you have your own house. I'm not saying, you know,
come over and with the intents of getting freaky in
my house, but I mean, I think I still have
a lot of respect for my parents all these years later.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
But as far as don't.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Like if I live with someone and we're not married
and it's the holidays and you're coming over, you're staying
with me, Like they would be ridiculous to split us up,
like we live together, Like what do you mean you know?
I mean that would be that would be crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
But I don't know. I think some people live in this.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
They have this naivete that's like I don't know, maybe
maybe parents they choose to be clueless on purpose. It's like, well,
I know they're living together, but actually I know of
a few situations like this where parents are like, yeah,
my daughter lives with their husband or with their boyfriend,
but you know, they're not married yet, so they sleep
in separate rooms. Like, no, they don't. Actually, I know,
I can think of someone right now. I don't know

(01:38):
if you guys have met her, but yeah, she had
been dating a guy for like a year and she
was like, yeah, my boyfriend's going to move in with me,
and her parents were like, and he's going to sleep
in a separate room and she's like, no, he's not.
And this is a woman who has graduated college, has
I think two master's degrees, has lived in Europe, and
is nearly thirty years old. It's like, guys, I got

(02:02):
news for you. If it's happening in that apartment and
it's been happening for at least a decade. So I'm
starry to break it to you.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
I just always think, no shade, no tea.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
But like, it's very odd when parents are heavily involved,
either individually or with your child's sex life as a couple,
Like if you're thinking about it too much and there's
too many rules, like it's just it's weird, Like stop
focusing on that.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, to me, at least, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's got to be difficult if you come from like
a moral standing and I don't know, you think it's
your I don't know. I'm not a parent, so I
don't know at what point you detach yourself from trying
to instill the right things.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But at what point is it are you doing it?
Is it about you?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Like, at what point is it I've done everything I
can do here, you know, And so if you choose
to make other decisions, and that's no longer on me,
you know, I think that happens around eighteen but people
may disagree with me on that. So parts of the
US of grappling with severe weather and Chicago, I guess

(03:06):
now the Carolinas, how are my friends in mine?

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Not?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Are they okay? Because I gotta think it's real cold. Yeah,
but parts of the US of grappling with severe weather
on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
A news storm is now moving out of the plains
toward the northeast, threatening widespread disruptions. After a post Thanksgiving
blast dropped record November snow in Chicago, shutdown highways across
multiple states and traded thousands of flight cancelations, the storm

(03:32):
will bring another round of snow and ice to many
of the same regions today, spreading into the interior Northeast
by Tuesday. Heavy coastal rain is expected across the Ohio Valley,
while flash flooding is possible across the South. A total
of thirty states are under winter advisories. Yeah, your Fred
wasn't going into that. We are broadcasting today. I am
broadcasting today from our North Carolina facility because I call

(03:56):
it a facility, it's more of a compound, the Fredshow
compound in North Carolina. But airfread was not we we weren't.
It wasn't happening. So here I am and I will
remain here until further notice. Now, if I had known better,
then I would have gone to our West Palm facility
as opposed. I mean, I really didn't choose this correctly,
Like if I'm not going to work here, then I
should have gone to the warmest place where our show broadcasts,

(04:20):
but I instead I chose I chose this. So anyway,
crazy weather and I don't know if people trying to
get back for work today and whatever else is going
to be a big problem. Speaking of travel, I don't
know where this is, but the national average gas price
has dropped below three dollars for the first time in
four years, except I don't know where the Brave Sam's
Club in Countryside that's where I went, guys, and it's

(04:40):
less than three bucks.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Sure certainly was.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
But it's so humbling when you see that price and
you pull in thinking you can get that gas and
you don't have a Sam's Club membership.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
That happened to me, like I got out the.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Car, why are you club? Even?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Why were you one without a membership?

Speaker 5 (04:56):
Clubs is right by my house, So I saw the
guess and I was like, this is unbelievable, girl, And
then it was a long line of all to get
in the gas station and waited.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
I waited and I got it.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
Yes, And then this poor man he looked at me,
just shook his head like, you got to get the membership, baby,
that reason I.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Got you for your birthday here when you don't have
a membership.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
No, I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Okay, next person, let me ask you a question. I
gotta ask you.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
So you see a Sam's Club and you see a
Sam's Club gas station? Now, what is what is the
business model of Sam's Club. It's it's to sell you
a membership. So why would you think that you you
could use Sam's Club without it?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Like, why would you think.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Oh, I'm sure the gas station, they'll just sell me gas.
That being said, why even put the sign up with
the price?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Exactly? Because I texted your members, Yeah, texture members. Why
you out there for everybody like that?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Well, because they're probably hoping you'll see it and be like, man,
like you, I want that gas price. And then you
put up and they're like, well you can get a membership,
you can have it. But yeah, I don't know what
part of you thought, like, I'm sure this little area
here doesn't count.

Speaker 5 (06:10):
I thought the gas station was for everybody y'all know
how like some Walmarts have a gas station. There's now
like a Mariano's gas station. Yeah, and you just pull
up and.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
It's for everybody.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
They didn't even have the option to sell me the
regular price like I would have. You know, now that
I've waited in line, I'm like, okay, I'll just paid
full price. Then they didn't even have that, Like you
cannot use their gas.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
And the difference is that Mariano's and Walmart you don't
need a membership to shop.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
That's a good point. That is an excellent point. That is, yeah,
a difference.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
There's a major difference between those businesses.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Long to so long they should you have gas?

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
I think I paid five bucks a gallon of something
for dance here today, so I don't know where this was.
But nonetheless, some states are still seeing pumps at four
bucks a gallon. Yeah, if you go to the Sam's
Club one, just realize you interneato Sam's Club members just
to use that.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
It is so disappointed to me imagining you wasting hours
on your Saturday waiting.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
In the Sames Club line. So they're not good CAUs.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Street you know how I drive around on e already.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
On you, I'm letting just thinking about Yeah, it was bad.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
I mean when you walk my Planet fitness, do you
think like, well, well there's there's a treadmill in the window.
Surely that's for everybody.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Now, you know, it was one place I'm not going where.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
I know better than.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
It looks looks like anyone should be able to use that.
Roll on In the Powerball jack butt keeps climbing. It's
now it's seven hundred and forty million dollars. Nobody matched
all six numbers in the Saturday drawings, so you have
a chance to score the tonight. I guess seven hundred
and forty million dollars. Guys, I've got great news. America's
most used password in twenty twenty five isn't what you

(08:07):
think it's. It's it's way more clever. The most used
password in twenty twenty five is admin. Come on, yes, hey,
we've evolved from from password right, and we've evolved from
password one two three four, not to be confused with
another popular one one two three four five, but admin

(08:30):
took the top spot as the most common password in
the US. Cybersecurity firms nord Pass and nord Stellar analyzed
millions of Leak credentials and found that admin beat out
every other login choice nationwide. That's not all obvious patterns.
Variations of password and basic number of strings remain shockingly popular,

(08:50):
showing lots of people still go for easy to remember
instead of hard to guess. I don't know how we're
doing this still. When your phone and computer will just
assign you one and then remember it, that's like super complicated,
you know what I mean, Like just anytime you got
to put it in a new password, it gives you
the option to have one of those like crazy ones,
dashes and whatever else, and then the computers like you
want me to remember it. I'm like, yeah, because I'm

(09:12):
not gonna remember that. So then boom, I guess. I
don't know why we're still doing this.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
You actually use the computer suggested password?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, because I can't remember it, so how can I
hack her? Oh?

Speaker 3 (09:23):
No, what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
So you come up with a new password?

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
I add another number, because there's no way that that
computer password is so intimidating, like what if they forget?
What if the computer forgets? Now you both locked out
with the computer forgets well, I mean, then you.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Just say you forgot the password and then you put
it another one.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
I can't trust that, man.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
But don't you ever get clever?

Speaker 2 (09:50):
I mean, I've said this a million times, but I
get clever, like and then I can't remember when I
got clever, you know. So if I'm using it's the
same variation of a password, but then I'm like, ooh,
on this one one, I'm going to throw in a
dollar side that'll get them, you know. But then but
then it got me because I can't remember where I
did that and where I didn't do that, or like
with the I had an ext girlfriend who used to

(10:12):
I don't know why she admitted this to me because
it would have worked, but she used to like probe
men about their password questions that you you know, you
can like set like your mother's maiden name and the
street that you grew up on to get your password
back if you forget it. And so I mean, I
don't know how you slip this stuff in, but she,
you know, she'd be like, yeah, I don't know what's
for dinner. Hey, what's your mother's maiden name? Like I

(10:35):
don't know how you slipped it? Like oh, man, I
grew up on Main Street. What about you? You know?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
It's like I don't know how you anyway.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
But she would use this and then she would get
the password, and then I guess she would change it
and then go read emails or do whatever she wanted
to see. And then when the person went to log
in again, they'd be like, oh, I guess I messed
up my password.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Then they would reset it.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
So I will get clever with the way that I
answer those questions, but then I can't. But then when
I really do forget my past word, then I can't
remember what I At the time, I'm like, ooh, no
one will ever guess this, you know, But then I
can't remember when I can't, right sort of me, So
then I can't get.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
My own password.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
So that's why I just let the computer do and
then I let the computer remember it, and then your
phone remembers it too, and then boom.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I don't have too many problems with that.

Speaker 5 (11:18):
I mean, I try that because I sit around so
angry at the computer because it tells me like, you
can't use that you used that last time. You know,
you can't use your last name, you can't do this,
and I'll just sit there for hours trying to come
up with something news.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
You're right, we'll stop using admin. You can't use it anymore.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
So this is this is a bit of a conundrum here,
Like this a little hard for me to wrap my
brain around. But thinking that you're addicted to Instagram actually
makes you more addicted. That's the real headline, so that
you have to say, I know, right. It turns out
that just thinking that you're addicted to Instagram might make
it harder to cut back. A new study as more

(11:55):
than twelve hundred adults about their Instagram habits and how
addicted they felt. And even though eighteen percent said that
they felt somewhat addicted and some admitted substantial dependence, when
researchers checked against clinical style criteria, they found about two
percent actually showed signs of real addiction. So you're not addicted,
but thinking about being addicted makes you act like you're addicted. Okay, right,

(12:19):
if you need me to write that down or something,
I will. But I don't think Instagram is a problem.
But TikTok is a problem. There's no doubt about. I mean,
the hours will pass like seasons have passed, and I'm
still scrolling.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, I didn't know that. I don't.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
It's I don't know how they figured out the code,
but I wind I'll go on this. Maybe it's because
if you scroll TikTok long enough that you'll wind up
on a path of things you didn't know you were
interested in, and before long you've watched forty of those.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I love it so much because it's not like if
you don't go on there looking for information, Like I
don't go on there and say I need to know
what this is. I'm on TikTok. It'll tell me that
you use YouTube for that, or like Google or Ai
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
TikTok.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
You simply log on because you're bored, and then before
long it's like I wonder what's next. I wonder what's next,
and then there you go. This is for you, camelin,
because you know I love to cater these stories to
you guys specifically. But according to a new study, people
who play pickleball three or more times a week tend
to report significantly better overhaul well being overall well being
than those who play less often. Researchers asked about sixteen

(13:23):
hundred people, mostly older adults, about how much they played,
and then they measured their mental state using a well
being index, and it turns out more frequent pickleball equals
higher happiness scores.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Instead of our holiday meal that we always do.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Should we just play pickleball?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Girl? No, No, we should remain miserable, but we should
eat and drink is what we should. And finally, in
Thanksgiving news, a guy injured himself after allegedly putting a
gun in a preheating oven, which you're not supposed to
do now. Again, not sure the thought process here, but

(14:03):
it turns out as a pro tip, do not put
firearms in a hot oven. Police in Des Moines, Iowa
searching for a guy that they believe left a gun
in the preheating oven, causing it to discharge multiple times.
The guy was apparently injured when the heated gun went off,
and I guess shot him. He's accused of being in
possession of two firearms as a felon. Also, you're not

(14:23):
supposed to do that, and possession of a controlled substance
as we're not supposed to do that either with the
intent to deliver even worse, so what does that mean?
He had like a bag and a scale with him
and a gun in a preeated oven. Police said he
was in possession of a delivery quantity of marijuana when
officers were investigating the gun shots at his house. I
just don't know what the thought process was there.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
Like what in edibles or something?

Speaker 2 (14:46):
But like I got what I could do with this gun.
I know, I'll put in a hot oven. I can't.
I mean I've heard of people putting like a pizza
box in there or storing something.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
The oven can get.

Speaker 5 (15:01):
A storage Oh I guess so, mad Timothy? Does that really?

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Go?

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (15:05):
It's pizza box in the oven and forgetting that it's there,
and then I got to cook something and I just
turned the oven on the preheat.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Yeah, it smells like burnt wood in the house. I'm like,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Oh yeah, yes, I've heard of that. Or you know,
I don't use my oven that often. So maybe I'll
put like a pan in there or something.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
I'll store something in there and then forget that it's
in there and then I open it. But that's I mean,
I don't keep my guns there. I keep those in
the microwave. That's where you keep the guns. Everyone knows
that it's National Pie Day, it's Cyber Monday, it's Rosa
Parks Day, and I don't know how we managed to
land right under that, but it's a Fred and Kiky
birthday party day.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Yea damna party party.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Now we're gonna do the entertainer important just a second
in blogs and waiting by the phone. But you said, Kaylin,
that there are surprises in store this morning, and you
seem extraordinarily excited about one in particular. Yeah, there that
you wanted to tease. And I can't wait to hear
what this teases. And I'm a little frightened because you
said it had something to do with me.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
Yes, so you will both have surprises throughout the morning. However,
a birthday surprise for you that we tried to get
to come on today will be under let's just say,
a gag.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Order until what was the day this person is the seventeenth?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yes, so you will little bit.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yeah, you will have to.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
Wait for that one, but I promise it's going to
be good.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
There's someone who wants to come on for my birthday,
but they won't come on till the seventeenth, yesterday.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
They are legally bound from speaking until then. We're not
making this up.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
And yeah, no, I'm not being dramatic like usual.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Wait, seriously, dead seriously, So you have a birthday for
the birthday show, there's a guest. Yes, but in sixteen
days it will be worth it.

Speaker 6 (16:54):
We can call it your Christmas gift if you want
to move it right on over. I mean, you have
other birthday surprises today, but I just want you to
know that we wanted them on today, but we could
not pass up the opportunity. So we need to wait
for the gag order to be lifted due to legal reasons.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I abluely not saying anymore.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
And don't guess. Don't guess is someone? Is this someone
who has a restraining order against me?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Absolutely not. You'll be very happy boy.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
No, I mean that's that's exciting. I do and I won't. Okay, Well,
thank you, I'll thank you again. It to and athletes
will be great
