get yeah, but I don't know what to do it.
I mean, thank you very much. I'm very very grateful
for that that honor. But I don't have an award
shelf because I don't have any awards up until this point,
so I wouldn't know what to do with it. What

(02:40):
did you do with yours? Now? I do? We have
like a mantle like in our family room.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
So I guess now I have an award shop because
there's one award on it and that's literally the only
thing on the shelf is the one award.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's exciting. Now. I know that Kaitlin and Kiki they
went and had their gracies backlit. They had a whole
piece of furniture made for it and got it. Who've
got lights and lasers and smoke coming from different angles,
you know, So it's you walk in, you see my gracie.
You push a button like some people turn on their fireplace,
you push a button, smoke emerges the award just you know,

But I mean, why not? Because okay? And where's yours

Speaker 4 (03:40):
Mine still in the box and it is at my
mom's house in Michigan. However, my brilliant, brilliantly black award
that I won, that our coworker Zach refers to as
my b ET Award is on my bookshelf because I'm
proud of that.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
So your mom hasn't even taken out of it. My
mom would have. My mom would have done what Kiki did,
take it out of the bottle.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Mom's not really impressed by me, and.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
She would have There would be the same sort of
apparatus that you have in our home. She could start
with this, these white gloves. There's a big out there.
Get this out of our studio.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
I think it's just so cool for you to showcase
this in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
You can by taking that entire pilot crabs in the
corner home.

Speaker 5 (04:26):
Well, let's see, okay, my blanket, let's see what else
I got here?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
My stapler? Come home? You never know, I do know.
She literally says to me five seconds before going the air,
this can go in your home, Oh can it?

Speaker 4 (04:45):
There may have been a different way to say it,
but you do like to peruse around the studio, both
of you do, and say what needs to go home?
And I'm like, just make it feel a little homey today.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
We love it here. Can we make a white box
feel No, Unfortunately, there's the old studio. It looks like
a little die. I also had windows and a lock
on the inside the outside. Yeah, no, we we need
We lived in a different world back then, and now
they moved us into a u an apple store. We
have a lock on the outside of the door. Let's see.

(05:17):
I feel like I'm mine Now. You're wearing my white
gloves and you wanted me to take home that would
you have had the enjoyment of wearing the white gloves? Yes,
like Charlie Chaplin over there, if I hadn't taking them home.
You know you're in a box. Wow, that is really good. Wow.

(05:38):
I had no idea you were also a Mime's incredible
that that's that's all right, but this is great. That's
the doggie that you just did. And we're alive on YouTube.
Oh god, Yeah, there is a visual component to this, it'
isn't there. I often forget that we have cameras in
here until about you know, new and when the videos

(06:00):
I'm popping up and I'm like, oh god, exactly right,

You're in for a treat if you've never heard kiki karaoke.
Are we still doing themes this year? Can we just do?

(06:20):
I don't know. Yeah, it seems rather daunting to do
forty five themes, you know what I mean? Because however
many weeks of shows that we do, we got it.
We got themes for forty five times.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yes, I actually have something that we might be able
to pull a theme from in a story.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Okay, and I think we should take request from oh just.

get you the entertainment of port Blogs are audio journals
and headlines too. What are you working on? K for

(07:23):
the port?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
So something iconic is coming back and it involves a Leah,
Adam Sandler, Alanis Moore, sat Backstreet Boys and more, something
from a lot of our childhoods.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Really, so, do you want to hear how the kids
these days? I think this woman's not a kid, but
this is how this is, This is the new rage
in ladies nights. This is the new rage in being social.
And I'm not that social, as you know, so you
know this. I'm gonna I'm just gonna. I'm gonna have

(07:56):
to adapt this somehow. But or adapt to this, I
should say. But listen, here we go. This is what
the kids are doing. Why is it like freaking out here?

Speaker 6 (08:03):
Online trend people are calling ad midnight. So basically, people
are getting together with their friends. They're bringing a bottle
of wine, and they're doing everything administrative that they've been
putting off, like canceling a subscription, paying an electric bill.
You're maybe cleaning out inboxes. Maybe you're booking your doctor
and dentist's appointments. Your updating passwords have to say talk

(08:23):
about a recession indicator?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
What like? Look, I'm not I'm not captain social. I
don't go to a lot of stuff. But I'm not
going to that. All my all, my buddies, we're all
we're all gonna show up somewhere and we're gonna drink
whiskey and book our dentist.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Oh I'm all about being productive while having fun.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
I can't do that stuff on my own, like Keiky
and I like it's hard for us to like do
certain tasks if I was with my friends and some wine.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Period, So what's the point of them being there? Though?
Like they get there because they're doing it.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
I'm you know, I'll do it because then I.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Feel all sitting in a room working. It's called it's
called this.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
You're choosing the people that you're around.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Bodied. I'll just get Jason. I'm gonna say, wow, would
be nice. And I think my feelings are hurt. Actually,
I think that is what happens here. I think I
think we are administrative night. You know, a little polls
over here, book in her plastic surgery and uh, I'm

(09:29):
over here trying to get a visa to some place
and which way is now? No? I just printed out
an insurance form, like you know, I mean this is
this is midnight, but I'm getting paid for it. So
like in my free time, you want me to, uh,
you want me to invite my friends over to my
house and you want me to go through all my
stuff and write emails. I mean, I don't need you

(09:52):
there for that. If you're in my house, we're going
to converse and we're gonna you don't want to be
with people. But I'm saying, if it's right, which is
why I'm not in fighting people to then do menial
tasks that I can do on my own. And plus,
can you imagine how much longer it would take to
be productive if there are other people there and you
had to talk to them and entertain them. I do
it every day after the show. That's literally what it is. Hard.

(10:14):
It's not gonna sitcom.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
We just sit here, we work, and then people walk
in and out and just dump on us.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
And we look up at six pm.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Right, I have to leave because I don't know who's
coming through that door and what problem they're gonna have.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Yes, No, it's why people want to know ten oh
one or maybe a little before you know where I am. Yes,
and it's because it's twice. There's a time war. It
is ad midnight. If I sat here much longer than
our show was on the air, I would be here
till two o'clock in the afternoon. I would have no
idea what happened, and I would get I would have
gotten nothing done because people would have walked in there.

(10:47):
Because you got to remember, and I've done this rant
a thousand times. But if the people who got to
be here nine to five. They got to figure out
how to fill eight hours nothing but time. We've already
been here for seven hours, and you want to help,
You want me to help you fill your eight hours
with a bunch of mindless meetings and gossiping and whatnot. No,
so I leave, and I go home, and I beat
productive somewhere else by myself. But no, I can't even

(11:10):
imagine what my friends would say if I if I
texted a bunch of guys and said, Hey, Friday night,
come on over. We're gonna turn the game on and
and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna go through all
of our expenses.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Will you try it and see what they say the
because they screw you, text one of them.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
You want me to text one of my friends right
now and say, Hey, do you want to come over?
Have some beers, bring your laptop, and we'll get some
stuff done.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I got some flights to books, I've got some Dennis appointment.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Book, some hotels. Yeah, exactly, man, these receipts are piling
up over here. Yeah, you know, I think I don't
eve think they'd respond. I think they would leave me
on red. No, I think they would think I was kidding.
That's not a thing. All right, Well, you guys an'll
want to do it and I don't. So I know

(11:56):
what our holiday dinner's gonna be. Now bring your laptops and.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
You receive Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of
the day.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
So they basically, let's chat gipt a super computer choose
which team will win the Super Bowl. So AI powered
simulation says these Seattle Seahawks are the most likely team
to reach the Super Bowl, with a twenty percent chance
of winning the Big Game. Right behind that the Broncos,
followed by the Rams, the Eagles, and the Patriots of

(12:26):
New England if you must know, the Bills. After that
the Jaguars, as you would say, Jason, the Texans, the Packers,
the Chargers, the four nine Ers, the Bears, with a
three point three percent chance according to the supercomputer, the Steelers.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
Of Steelers of for once in your life, Sattle, Oh.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
My god, he picks Pittsburgh. For every other team, it's
the Pittsburgh Steelers. Are they the yellow, black, black and yellow,
black and yellow?

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yeaes that, Aaron, Oh never mind, then you always say
you always say Pittsburgh because there seems to be a
literation for you every p name right, Well, the Patriots
are there, and then of course the Carolina Panthers, sadly,
with the point six percent chance? Who you got, Jason, Oh,
I think we're gonna go with the underdogs, the Panthers.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
You're gonna pick the point supercomputers is point six and
you say they're gonna win the suit. Hey, okay, a
lot of people would be happy if that happens. We
don't trust gbt SO or the Bears of Chicago. That
would also have been a nice pick. Yeah, we'll see. Yeah,
I call Shenanigans on this entire thing. Okay, but it's

(13:38):
a slow news day, and former NFL lineman Mac Unless
want to talk about Greenland or Venezuela or I think
I am getting to Epstein in just a second, but
very quickly. But you know, we avoid the politics around here,
so instead we're talking about a guy's wang. Former NFL
lineman Matt Khalil is taking his wife to court. Now.
He's suing her after she went viral in November for

(14:01):
saying the size of his private parts was a major
reason why their marriage ended. You know what this is?
This is if you missed it the first time, right,
I'm swinging if you missed it. Apparently he didn't hit
the way he wanted it to round one. So now
I am not suing anyone for saying that about me.
It's weird. I would I would thank them. It would

(14:22):
be very kind. Can you imagine if you if you
don't remember this story. There, they got divorced and she
cited in the divorce or in an interview about the
divorce or whatever, she said, I can't be with this
guy because this thing is too big, too cones. Yeah,
that was right, two coke can. So this was like
middle or late last year that she said this, And
at the time, I'm like, this is shenanigans, this is

(14:43):
this is this is like, look, you cheated on me,
you dumped me, whatever, this is. I am not going
to give you all the money unless you do something
nice for me. And she's like, fine, I'll tell you what.
On the way out, I'll give you some good press
and then and you can have And then he's like fine,
and then here's you know, whatever we agreed to and
pre number, we'll here's some cash. Critics blasted the comments
online said that he says that they brought unwanted attention,

(15:09):
degrading commentary, and disturbing messages to his family and his
current wife. He's suing for invasion of privacy and unjust enrichment,
seeking more than a seventy five thousand dollars in damages.
His ex, who is a model and influencer, said that
she's genuinely shocked and incredibly hurt by the lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
You know why he's doing it his current wife. I
didn't know he had a current wife. There ain't no
way she's not like babe, sue like, I don't want
her talking about your thing.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Yeah, but don't you think she's walking around like mm
hm no, because you're somebody I got great band fortitude. Baby,
you know what I'm saying. Take a look at me now.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
No, because her exit, his ex is running her mouth
about how big it was, I'd be like, no, No.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
I would sue if somebody said the opposite. Actually, I
don't think I would acknowledge either. One.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
I wouldn't acknowledge that because then it's given right, it's
giving it.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
It's probably true. Like a guy with a little of
the wei, we would sue, sue you, right, My daddy's
a lawyer. Yeah, this to me is like, let's circle
back on this, just to make sure everybody saw it
the first time. Oh yeah, litigation is harrowing and emotionally draining,
and I'm heartbroken that he's choosing to subject us and
our families to this ordeal. While she didn't address the

(16:15):
comments in question, she pointed out six other times in
the conversation where she spoke highly of her ex, even
referring to him as the greatest guy in the world.
That's another thing that a guy would write, Like if
I'm writing the script, Okay, it's like, all right, look,
I'll give you your money in this divorce, but these
are the things that you have to say. I'm the
greatest guy in the world and I have the biggest

(16:38):
thing in ling you've ever seen. Those are the sorts
of things that I would and a very generous lovery
as well.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
People try it. Zach Bryan tried it with his ex.
That's like, was all in the agreement of like signing,
signing over and taking the money.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I mean, I'm not in a relationship, but I'm not
doing it right. Like when I finally meet when someone's
dumb enough to want to like partner with me for
an extended period of time, six to eight months. I'm
going to make him sign an agreement, a non disclosure
that says, if this ends poorly, I will compensate you
with Duncan gift cards and jingle Ball tickets if for
in perpetuity. Sorry Jason, but here are the things that

(17:13):
you have to say. What would you want people to
say about Like if you wrote the script? What would
you want your ex to say about you? Like if
Big Tim got or you would be leaving Big Tim?
Obviously Big Tim would never leave you, But if day,
what would you want him to say about you going out?
If you got to write the script? She's like, I'll
never I'll never attain a more beautiful woman ever again

(17:37):
in my life. Well he should absolutely. I mean, that's
just the truth. So you have to write that, right,
it's the truth. So that's really what I want him
to do. Tell the truth.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
She's beautiful, she's gorgeous, she's smart, she's you know, she's great.
He's the best person I've ever met in my life.
And I've never meet another girl like her.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Okay, not written by Kiki. In Big Tim's public statement,
I want him to tell his truth and that is
his truth. Okay, Caylen, you become single, what would you
want your ex to say.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
That she's the funniest person I've ever come across. And
sometimes I'll just think about things that she said and
start laughing so hard that I cry.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
And it makes me sad that I'll never be around
someone that funny ever again in my life. Yeah, no,
I understand that, Jason.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
You know, I think I would just want him to
say he's very talented in many ways.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Okay, you know, I got chi. Okay, we're gonna leave it.
Vegue very talented. Yeah, yeah, okay, that would be great
on grinder, you know it. Really, he's very right, he's
very talented in many ways. How they do LinkedIn? But
I grind that is a question when I first meet someone,
or if I first start talking to someone. I have
asked that question before, questions, Oh I haven't, Oh yeah,

(18:46):
oh I talk myself out of a lot on other dates.
I do. No, But it's it's it's a funny question
because I'll ask, I'll say, and this isn't like right
aways after a little bit of interaction, but I was like,
what would your ex say, was the problem in your relationship?
And I'm not saying that he's right, but I'm always
curious to hear like what people would And it's funny
how quickly they'll come with the answer, Well, he would say,

(19:08):
you know that I was this or that or the
other thing. And it's and it's just an interesting thing
because it's like, I'm not suggesting that that person's right,
but like, what would they say was wrong? Because people
will always tell you what was wrong with their ex.
You know, like when you meet someone and you're like,
you're talking about relationships that you've been in previously, people
are very quick to tell you, well, they were avoidant
or they were you know, they were this.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
Look if you say that on like an early date
and you're talking crap.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
About well, I mean in general, like anytime you're talking
about xes, I feel like people will start with They'll
never start with what they did wrong. Absolutely, they'll start
with what yeah, And so I think you're sort of
backhandedly getting what they did wrong because they're telling you
what the X said, and then you can kind of
sit back and then think about whether you think those
things might apply, Like is that the person, Oh, well,

(19:53):
they said I was completely self centered, and it's like, okay,
good to know because there's maybe that's partially correct, if
not completely correct. That's interesting and it's also funny to
hear if people say, oh, I don't he wouldn't say anything?
Really okay, all right, well not not. I really want
to know what he would say. There's no good answer
to that question, No what you said?

Speaker 2 (20:14):
What would be a good answer that would like keep
you intrigued and like locked dead?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
I must hate myself because I can answer the question easily. Really,
I can go on a whole paragraph about what exs
would and they'd probably be right.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, Because I mean that's self awareness.
But like, what would be something that you would hear
that you were like, oh okay, cool, Like now I'm
still interested.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
That wouldn't be a red flag for you. But think
about that, I mean, try it. Try it, like even
with someone you're with now, Like, ask about it a
past relationship and what went wrong, and they will, I
bet you ninety five percent of the time they'll start
with what the other person did wrong. You would like
to hear that?

Speaker 4 (20:46):
You would want to hear a woman say my ex
set I wanted too much alone time or like I
read too much, you know what? That would be good
for it And then you'd be like, all right, where
do I sign up?

Speaker 1 (20:54):
And by the way, sometimes you're like the things that
people say to their exes are ridiculous, and it's okay,
that's they're just they were just being mean or spiteful.
But sometimes there's some there's some nuggets in there that
I think are useful. And also, again, if someone can
easily answer those questions, then that means that they're there
introspective as well. And I want to be with somebody

(21:14):
who can who can see the flaws in me the
same way they can see the flaws in themselves, even
if they're not going to tell me in the course
of an argument. Like if we're talking about someone else completely,
then I want you to be able to say, yeah,
you know I'm trash. Well you know we don't have
self loathing isn't necessary, but I do enough of that.
There's enough of that right here.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
That job interview and they say like, what's your biggest flaw?
And it's like, I'm a perfectionist, you know, like I
have to see a project all the way through, Like
shut up, that's not really your flaw.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Nobody's right, right. I just love my job too much.
That's my biggest flaw. That is a bad answer to
the question because you're essentially saying, like, I know what
people mean when they say that, like if they're asking
a job interview, what's your flawed? I'm a perfectionist. What
you're saying, well, you're trying, probably trying to say to
the person who you want to hire you is I'm
striving to make everything right, exactly right, and sometimes I

(22:07):
can't get there and I get caught up in minor details.
But the way it comes off is I'm always just
nailing it, you know, every yeah, every time, you know,
I always hit it out of the park, you know,
and sometimes I don't, you know, And it's prairily, But
what a problem it is, Paulina. What would you want
Hobby to say about you in the way out? You

(22:29):
know what?

Speaker 5 (22:29):
I would like him to just lie his way out
of this one, because I know that I'm not a
good cook. I know I don't clean as well as
he would like. I know my flaws in this marriage,
and honestly.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Looking and cleaning are your only flaws in this marriage. Wow. Yeah, honestly, yeah,
we can hire a mate for that, right, And you
would call his mom sometimes and they call his mother.
That happened too. So my point that happened or happened,
it stopped. It had to stop, Okay, Dad, there had
to be a cap on that. We had to cut it.
If you're new, if you're new to this dysfunctional family.
Paulina used to call her husband's mother every time she

(23:01):
was losing in an argument. Mm hm, yes, certainly did. Yes,
she's got a couple of messages from me. But I
want her. I want Hobby to.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Just, I don't know, make me sound like the greatest
woman on earth, because I know that I am, but
I also know that he uh, you know, I have
my flaws.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Just think me sound great, make me sound so good
on paper. I also think it says something about people
when they just trashed their ex, you know, like when
they just it's just like yeah, blah blah blah blah blah,
like why did you say that?

Speaker 4 (23:27):
Weirdough?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Well, you can have gone through trauma, and you could
if you get to a point where you're actually like
really know each other well enough to have truly deep
conversations and you could talk about the trauma and you
know what it means to you and how it's changed
you with whatever. But like if if off the bat,
it's this person is just blah blah blah awful, you know,
then I don't know. I think it says something about you, said,
well what about you? So you did nothing right? You

(23:49):
did nothing? The Justice Department has released only one percent
of the Epstein fliles. Okay, is anyone surprised by this?
Is anyone? Then they're saying it takes a long time
to redact and take out sensitive victim information, and you know,
FBI analysts are going through, Yeah, I gotta get more Sharpie's.
Amazon said prime. But really they said by the end

(24:11):
of the day, but they met next Thursday. They tricked me, Yeah,
we're never gonna see all of it. And I've said
this a million times. Is not a political statement, but
like everybody, we need to move on to way more
important stuff because we're never gonna know everything. I know
Bill was friends with him, like we got it. We
know claim was there. It doesn't matter, right whichever side

(24:35):
winds up in charge of releasing all these things. If
it takes that long, it's gonna be that this this.
Why isn't this there? Why isn't that there? God? We
have guys with much bigger stuff to deal with. I
just said, God, God, we have much bigger stuff to
deal with. Utah, hiw WE patrol trooper clocked a cargoing
one hundred and twelve before six am pulled it over.
Inside was a twenty two old woman driving with four passengers.

(24:56):
When the trooper asked what was going on, she told
him that she and her family we're rushing to get
home in time for church. Hey, one hundred and twelve
miles an hour. You are trying to get there to worship?
All right? I mean this person needs to talk to
speaking of God, you know. I mean I don't think
you get off for that. In fact, you don't. Officers
arrested her on suspicion of reckless driving and reckless endangerment.

(25:20):
That's very fast, especially other people in the car. That's
pretty scary, and a romantic proposal nearly turned into a
snow covered disaster. You gotta take pre When are we
gonna learn if we're proposing on a high place, a mountain,
a bridge, any sort of thing with cracks or holes

(25:43):
in it? When are we going to any sort of
great nearby? When are we gonna learn that we need
to be a little bit more careful? A Michigan man
shows the illuminated skybridge was it one hundred and eighteen
foot high suspension bridge? To surprise his girlfriend with an engagement,
But as he nervously when the ring box, what do
you think happened? The ring plummets down the grating of

(26:06):
the bridge and down in the not only one hundred
and eighteen feet down, but into snow. The couple searched
for hours. The metal detector Klin came by with hers,
joined by resorts staff who were determined to help, and
just as they were about to give up and buy
a new ring, a night shift snow making supervisor found
the original buried in the snow. It's meant to be.
This marriage is meant to be. They're supposed to be engaged.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
And that person needs to be in the bridal party.
Whoever found the ring that should be? Like the best
man made oh absolutely at the wedding for sure.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Relieved and thrilled, the couple eventually got engaged ring on
hand and say that they'll return to finish their walk
across the skybridge and share the memorable story with love one.
That's a great story. Hey, I tried to propose I
dropped the ring and hundreds of feet and snow and ice,
and we found it and it was on her finger,
and now we're Yeah, it's meant to be if that

(26:55):
happens and you never find it. The world was trying
to tell you something. It's National bobblehead Day. Shout out
to Hobby, who has a serious babwood collection. Yeah, to
one of my basement at night, because you don't know
what you're going to run into. Yeah, and there were
all sizes too. I didn't know they made like human
sized bubbleheads. Yeah, they're taller than meat. Yeah. He's had
a lot of stuff down there. A National Tempura day.

(27:17):
Tempura tempura, Yeah, I mean timpure. I can't say no
matter how it comes out of my mouth, I never
feel like I'm saying it right. Tempuraurah Dame, that's right.
Calin's entertainer report is on the fread show.

Speaker 4 (27:30):
New Info is shedding some light on that tragedy involving
filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. Police record show
cops were called to the couple's LA home years before
their deaths to do welfare checks, sparked by, of course,
concerns about mental health issues in the household. Those cops,
or those calls rather happened back in twenty nineteen, didn't
lead to arrest, but of course are now being looked at,

(27:53):
raising questions about warning signs that were there before. As
you know, Rob and Michelle were well, were found killed
inside the home and their adult son was later arrested
in charge.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I know he had a lot of addiction issues, and
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
It's just interesting, like how many warring signs do you need?
And now there's a record, So that's some new info,
but I think we knew that was the case. Netflix
announced the judges panel for its Star Search revival, which
happens January twentieth. Jelly Roll actress Sarah, Michelle Geller Chrissy
Teagan are now judges. They will offer feedback to contestants

(28:30):
performing music, dance, comedy, and more. There will be a
separate juniors competition. Anthony Anderson is going to host the show.
It's going to air live Tuesdays and Wednesdays, eight or nine,
depending on where you are. For five weeks and you
can vote for your favorite acts. But like people listening
may not even realize that this show, it was a
big deal back in the day nineteen eighty three to

(28:52):
nineteen ninety five.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
I think our Citio Hall hosted it.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
But I was looking up the list of people that
we're on it, hold on one second, Star search, like Britney.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Spears, right right, yeah, all right, I always get the computer. No, no,
I think Britney Spears was home. He was on Star Start.
McMahon was the host. Yes, that was very young, but
like this was that was like American Idol before American Idol.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
So, like, I just love Brittany, So I remember watching
all these like movies and documentaries about her, and I
think there was footage from it. But I thought we
could maybe get Kiki karaoke from this because Aliyah was
on it, Adam Adam Sandler obviously, uh, let's see Alanis Moore,
set Backstreet Boys, Brittany, Christina, Dave Chappelle, Destiny's Child, Drew

(29:38):
Carrey was on it. So a lot of people were
on Garcel Bovet justin Timberlake. So I guess a lot
of people who we now know and Love were on
Star Search, but I remember seeing clips of Britney singing
on there. And speaking of Netflix, I have another little
recommendation of something I watched for you too, True Crime Fred.
So I wonder if you did you watch Evil Influencer?

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Yeah, yes you did. Did you like it? I think
so craziness if there's one of those sort of crime
anything on and I try and consume all of it. Yeah,
so I did. It was that was a year ago,
wasn't it. When did it come out?

Speaker 4 (30:12):
There's a new one on Netflix that is topping the
charts now. Now I think you may have watched one
on another.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Streaming service because I did.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah. So there's like a newer one. It's called the
Jodie Hildeerrant Story. But it was, you know, this therapist
in Utah who was ended up separating a lot of
couples and some of the kids ended up suffering from
the therapy she was giving to people.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
And I didn't watch this one then made I'm thinking
of a different one.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah, But then it was this famous YouTube family something
with eight in the title, and it was like a
family who blogged together on YouTube. This therapist separated them
and ended up you know, joining forces with a mom
and the kids had to escape.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
It's a whole thing.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
But it was a famous like mom influencer and a famous,
famous therapist. So that's a good watch if you're into
true crime.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
Took place in Utah.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
If you want to see what we are wearing today,
you can do so on YouTube throughout the show Fred
Show Radio, also the Fred Show on demand. If you
want to catch up on anything you missed from the
show on the free iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Ap Kalin's been doing a nice job recapping all the
stuff that she watched over the holidays. I can't I
honestly don't remember. I took notes, but I read a
bunch of books and I buy a bunch of I
think I read four books, and oh yeah, I needed
to like I needed to get yeah yeah, and not
think about anything else. And speaking of a true crime though,
I read a book called my friend Casey recommended it

(31:34):
Killer Story. It's a memoir from a woman named Claire
Saint Amat who was an executive I owned the Executive Reducer.
She was a high level producer on that forty eight
hours show on CBS that does you know all the
cover It's like Dateline, but on CBS, it's very interesting.
It was very interesting to hear how these guys all
compete for the same murder stories. And it's like the

(31:54):
weird game of having to like Dateline and twenty twenty
and forty eight hours or all like in the courtroom
waiting to talk to victims and waiting to like you
got to walk up to somebody who just wanted lost,
you know, their family's murder case, and then try and
get the exclusive from them and the whole thing. So
if you like true crime at all, it was an
interesting look into like how it all works behind the scenes.

(32:15):
And there was some spoilers too, some of which I've
I've hypothesized before, Like, for example, I can tell you
if the person was convicted or not the subject of
a dateline within about three minutes based on the shot
I don't want to get. I don't want to give
it away completely, but there are methods and sometimes they're

(32:36):
able to conceal better than others. But we had Josh
Mekowinz once from Dateline NBC because I am obsessed with
these things, and we asked him that question. I'll just
say it if you watch, if you want next time
you watch a dateline and we don't, it's like the
first five minutes and we don't know who did what.
If the person who they're talking to is in if
it's a blurry background or like a white background, or

(32:57):
they don't show much from the neck up, it's because
they're in Yeah, if they're in prison, and they don't
want you to know that because it would give the
whole thing away. And some prisons will allow dayline to
like go out to TJ Max and buy them an
outfit to wear, and like it's they even talk about
how they'll like put you know, candles and like household
items behind them to make it look like they're in

(33:19):
their living room, but they're actually you know, in jail
in the visitation room. But sometimes they're able to conceal that,
and sometimes they're not. But I'm sorry, I may have
just ruined crime television for you, because the next time
you watch, it's like, okay, well that I don't know
if they did it or not, but they're in jail,
so like it didn't work out.

Speaker 4 (33:37):
Say the title again, because we're gonna get a million textss.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Killer story and it's like a Fusia cover on the
book like you can't miss it, but it was good
and very interesting if you like true crime. Claire saint Aman.
I thought about booking her, but I think I just
told you a lot of it, and I also just
go read the book. We'll go buy her books morning.
