Speaker 3 (00:39):
Thanks.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Fread's show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the day.
That's right.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
That's where I hope she got it that uber and
left all of those friends. Yeah, forever you are appreciated
and not tolerated.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Airport, she's slept on the airport. They don't like.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
But you know, girl, if my friend said to me, bro,
you're too fat to get in, I would leave my
stuff at the airbnb or the hotel.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
I would go straight to the.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Airport, like I would right the airport, I would change
my name right whatever, my luggage and stuff, I don't know,
give it to good will or something like you've never
seen me again ever, No, I'll see you later.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
No, I'm I am going straight friends where people you choose,
I don't know if we remember that you choose rights.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
But this would never happened to a bunch of guys,
because a bunch of guys would never get a free
admission into a club to begin with.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
So we would just go somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
But I don't know, like what if there's the one
person who isn't in dress code or something, you know that.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Like shoes or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I was the girl at the shoes outdoor sneakers, and
they were like, you can't wear that.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I was so upset, and you know, we all did.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
We all went home collectively because I didn't have heels
in my car that night.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Okay, well let me ask you this. Let's say it's
not about your body image. Let's say it's something like
that were you you're not wearing the right clothing, and
you're the one person's not wearing the right clothing, So
the whole the whole group has to redirect because you
didn't have the right shoes. No, I would take I
think we were about to say that. I would take
responsibility for myself and I would see myself out.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, I take the blame for that and say, hey,
I'm sorry, I don't want to room the night you
guys go in. But I have good friends and they
would be like, no, we're moving on.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I would. I would go with you.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
I mean, girl, I might be mad about it, yeah,
for sure, you know, and have to do like some
breaths like I did that one day when we were
parking out of the way for to go to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Butt yep, brats and I would move on. Wait what happened?
She made you park like four miles away to were
we going to Luriy?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
We were going to Luriy I think it was Kiki
and Calen Children's Hospital.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
Right, And they shut me in the middle like this
always I'm sitting in the back like this.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Because the big frame was in the front. Absolutely, that
is not well.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
But and Paulina parked how far way did you park?
Real far, real far real far, like a mile away?
And somehow Jason was.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Just okay with it, but you could get I know, Okay,
so I bought a spot hero and I was like, oh,
it's really close to the hospital.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
No it wasn't. It was not for other plans something.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
It was convenient for you, But you didn't tell the
group like you're gonna have to there's gonna be a hike.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
There's gonna be a five k involved.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
To another location to then get another mode of transportation
to get from the parking you to the destiny. That
would that would have been a nice thing to share
with the group before you offered the ride.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
We're going to do we see it right now. And I
took two cars there right, And I was just laughing
and feeling I was really mad. I was hot. Where was.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
The car?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I could barely move beat us? Okay, yeah, you were
just going, but you were. You probably had a your
wits about it.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I just wouldn't have. Yeah, big mad. I would have
been big mad. Excuse me?

Speaker 1 (04:06):
What? But we work through it and then no, it's
a funny story. Yep, ready to laugh me? Is it?
It seems a little traumatic for you? Well.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Headlines this morning, gas prices are heading even lower. Industry
tracker gas Buddy predicts at the national average price for
a gallon of regular gasoline will drop below three dollars
in twenty twenty six, the first time that that's happened
since twenty twenty. The forecast puts the average around two
ninety seven a gallon for the year, continuing a trend
of falling fuel costs that started in recent years. Doctor

(04:37):
visits for the flume have reached the highest level in
almost thirty years. It's hitting hard this season with people
going to the doctor for flu like symptoms. It's reaching
the highest level in a very long time. The CDC
says about one in ten outpatient visits nationwide were for
flu symptoms during the week ending December twenty seventh. So far,
at least five thousand people have died this flu seas

(05:00):
and including nine children, and forty five states are seeing
high to very high flu activity. The latest data doesn't
yet reflect the impact of holiday traveling gathering, which which
that scares me because you got everybody, you know, leaving
a club in Miami, going straight to the airport and
flying home, and like we're only going to hear about
that here, you know, shortly all the people who were traveling. Yeah,

(05:22):
the Trump Administration has announced that it is removing the
flu vaccine from the official childhood vaccination schedule. Maybe not
the best timing for them. A new stage in the
boom of weight loss drugs began yesterday with the company
that makes we Go v now rolling out a pill version.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
So you know I'm listening. Yes, you know.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
How I feel about this, Okay, I if you need
it for your yes, except except when I read this yesterday, I.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
Tempted, because I will.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Say one major preventative measure for me, one may interesting
for me is stabbing myself.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Yeah, at home, because you know, you.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Used to have to inject yourself with this stuff, and
now there's a pill. So there was that, right, And
then there's the nausea. And then there's the fact that
you you know, the way just falls off into you know,
it just evaporates. I don't know where it goes, but
I swear it's gonna wind up manifesting it into a
tail at some point like this.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
It's too easy.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
It's too easy, and it bothers me because if you
need it for your health, or you need it because
it's gonna jump start a healthier lifestyle or whatever, I'm
all for. That, or if you're diabetic or whatever else.
But if you're just too lazy to like exercise, I
resent you do. And maybe I'm a bad guy, and

(06:44):
I'll apologize for this opinion right now, but as a
guy who like you know, has to work now, because
I have zero metabolism. My whole twenties, I could eat
like I could just stuff burgers in my face and
nothing happened. And now if I if I think about
a burger, it shows up in my midsex and I
gotta go see Gideon the Torturer twice a week, and

(07:05):
I got to do other stuff to just sort of
not be huge. And I need it for my health too,
for blood pressure and cholesterol and whatever else. But then
you can just take a pill and everyone goes, oh,
you're so skinny, you look so great. I'm sorry, I
resent that a little bit if you don't have to
do it, and you're doing it in place.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Of so yeah, But now I'm thinking about it. I'm
thinking about the pill and the working out.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm thinking about resenting myself because I can tell you
right now, and I'm not a physician of course anymore,
I'm not currently licensed. But if I took this and
did nothing else. I think I would probably be in
bad shape health wise, Like I think I would probably
have a heart attack or something because I would get skinny,
and then I'd be like, cool, I'm skinny, and so
then I just go eat like t bones.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Right, And we should care about our insights as well.
That's what I mean. It's important.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
And again I don't This is not from a medical perspective.
This is simply vanity and simply me being a hater.
If you need it, take it, if it helps you
get someplace, take it. It makes perfect sense if you like.
But I know too many people that are like, I
don't feel like doing anything. I'm just gonna take this
pill and then bask in the glory of everyone telling
me how great I look. And then what really annoys

(08:11):
me I want to the glory are the people who
won't admit it. And I know several people like this
who they're doing it, but they want you to believe
that they're working out and dieting because they and then
they want and so when people will be like, what
are you doing, and they'll if someone will even tell you, oh,
it's dying working out, it's not. You're taking a pill
and that's fine, but just say that then and be like,

(08:34):
I'm taking away gov.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Look at this.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
It looks great, but it's like you want you want
people to believe that you're working hard, but you're really
taking a shortcut.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
And that's how I feel about AI photo shoots. Yeah, yeah,
nobody exd it, but I just I'm sick of the
AI photo shoot. Well no, just tell me more, like
you don't look like that, like that, get your head
off that person's body.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
Let's knock it off. You're not the middle of a
forest with a dog and a deer standing next to you.
That's an AI photo shoots.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
So what are we talking about it. I'm always hurting,
dear in my photo shoots, thick of it. All my
professional photos have a bucket deer in the background looking majestic.
It is getting crazy because I always take all my
headshots in the forest. Now, look, I'm a hater and
I'm sorry, and you can get mad at me.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I just there's a few people in particular that I'm
thinking of it. It's like, I know you're doing it
and it's fine, just say that, but oh no, Oh
my gosh, I'm just sweating.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
It out and working so hard back it off.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, you're not anyway. One hundred and forty nine dollars
a month. That's the introductory dose.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah today, I know. I want you so bad.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Apparently, if your employer covers it, which I'm sure ours doesn't,
twenty five dollars a month and the highest DOSO to
be available later this week to ninety nine a month.
That's not ballly okay, so here we go. I lost
one hundred pounds from stet bounds. That this is what
I mean, Like that is amazing and that I don't
know what it's like to be. You know, if if

(10:08):
you are in a situation where you're you know, you
have so much weight to lose and it would help
your lifestyle and your health and longevity, that's an amazing
purpose for this.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's great. If you need to lose thirty pounds and you.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Don't feel like, you know, walking, then you know what
I mean that I think that it's like, Okay, come on,
a little friend. If I were the friend from the club,
I would be driving right to the pharmacy after that.
So in that case, I would be a total hypocrite,
which I occasionally am. And oh, new parents in Maryland

(10:45):
turn to chat GPT to name their New Year's baby,
so you know this is happening all the time. But
they used AI to brainstorm baby names that would sound
right with their last name. After settling on Hudson, they
asked Chad GPT to help choose the middle name, landing
on a Hudson Oakley Winkler.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
You needed GPT for that.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
Hospital staff shared the stories at Modern Twists on a
longtime New Year's tradition, showing how AI is now part
of everyday life, even in the delivery room.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Would you let AI name your kid?

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I like that?

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Hudson Oakley, I like that? How good is the name?
Is a good name.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
It's National Technology Day and National Cuddle Update.
