Yeah, oh it is.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Oh well the problem was I couldn't do it tomorrow,
so I thought it was today. Well, anyway, I won't
be I won't be fully trained.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Then I guess it either day.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Just like, never mind, so much for being trained on
how to do radio. I don't. I think at this
point it's kind of a lost cause. Like if I
if I can't, you can't teach an old dog nute tricks.
I can't be trained anymore. It's impossible. No, She'll be
Shelley two hundred bucks in the showdown five questions next hour.
Belah means here on the phone and the text eight five, five, five,
(01:45):
nine one three five. My goal today is not to
yell at any nice people who try and come into
the studio while I'm working with the birthday cake. Yeah,
I all day yesterday. I got to hear about that.
It's like, yeah, so you say you don't like birthday cakes.
I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know what
you were doing. Okay, they storm in the room while
(02:07):
I'm working hard.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
That's the point of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, I know, but you know, sometimes the surprises are
run here are not They're not the right kind. They're
not they're not thoughtful surprises like the one that you
guys came up with her. It's it's like, you know,
people don't care, and oh, it's like, we'll use we've
got to have a conference call. We'll just use this room,
the radio studio, the one that we're performing. Yet, you know,
that's that's kind of what I thought was going on,
(02:32):
right right, This is a performance, Klan. I don't know
if you're performing, but I am certainly performing. Okay, it's
a performance to wake up at this time and have
this much energy.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I was performing and then you know, these people come
in with a cake and I didn't know. And now
I've gone viral with a meme of me with my
hand in the air, shunning shunning the kind people with
a birthday cake.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
And now I've gone viral.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm performing, go viral at once. My performance has gone viral. Guys.
I did something I never thought I would do yesterday,
truly in my life. I bought a Barbie dream House. Wow,
I feel like I contributed to a pivotal moment in
my niece's lives. I feel like I, I mean, there
(03:21):
are certain things in life that happen. The Barbie dream
House for some, and I know not everybody. I know
it's an aspirational thing and it's only the uncle with
no kids and no real financial obligations, it's able to
do something like that. You know, if I had kids
or a four one K then guaranteed, guaranteed human, then
(03:42):
I wouldn't be able to do this. But I and
I was able to buy the Barbie Dream House. Now,
I was told yesterday that they wanted one by my sister.
Because that's another thing now she's decided is that if
it's expensive, then she'll just recommend that I buy it,
and I can't. Well, you know this, Kiki, and I
can't wait and you'll, uh, the girls fully understand that,
(04:03):
because I do think at some point my sister, who
I love dearly, I think she'll I think she'll use it.
I think she'll just tell them like, oh, you wanted
you want you know, these dance lessons, or you want
this thing, then I want you to ask Babba. Like
I think at some point they're just gonna have phones
and they're gonna have my number and then they're just
gonna call me and then I'm gonna have to tell
them no. But right now we know there's a they
(04:24):
have my nieces have people where they have middle people
who are you know, handlers who are facilitating all. I
guess they're called parents. But so I got a text
it was the girls would like a Barbie dream house
for Christmas. However, if you don't want to spend two
hundred dollars, you can get them. And then it was
like in lesser annunciate like you know, I don't know,
(04:45):
like it was like a lesser thing, you can get
them the Barbie town Home. Ob Yeah, So I didn't.
I didn't know this. I didn't know that they have
a more affordable option now with the Barbie dream House.
It's the Barbie town Home. It's one hundred dollars less,
stop it, yeah, and it's it's a town home instead
(05:05):
of a mansions.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Everyone's right, you're going to move out her dream home.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's a Barbie tiny house. It's what it is. And
it's like, I don't yeah, right, and I'm not. It's
too early for those girls to understand how life really works.
That you hope for a mansion, but you wind up
in a town home like that's not you know, or
or not or less, And so I decided to spring
for it, especially after watching Polly's little video of her
singing Happy Birthday to me. I probably watched that thirty
(05:35):
times yesterday. When Amanda says, because you know, Amanda is
a therapist, my sister, so everything is consent, so she
would have asked the four year old, and it was
even alluded to in the video if it's on our
on our social Friendshire radio. She spoke with Polly ahead
of time to make sure she was okay to make
a video for my birthday. So then when in the video,
(05:59):
you can hear her say, now we're gonna do the
thing that we talked about before because you already agreed
to it. But my favorite part of the whole video
is she says, okay, now you're gonna sing Bubba happy
birthday because they called me bubba, because my sister called
me bubba. And then she goes, I'm gonna sing happy birthday.
She she states what she's gonna do because even though
we established it like, we're gonna state it again because
(06:20):
we are we are intentional, you know about what we do.
But because of that video that I sprung for the
Barbie Dream Home house or whatever it's called, I don't
really know what I bought and I'll never see it.
I at least I won't see it until after Christmas,
because they do Christmas in Texas. So the nice thing
is I just sent this gigantic box of their house.
(06:41):
I think it. I would assume it's a gigantic box.
It looks like a gigantic structure. And because and then
my sister has to deal with that, she has to
wrap it, and then they'll have to put it together.
Colin will have to put it together. And then I
guess I just get the glory. So it's really it's
it's it's on theme, it's on brand for what the
uncle gig is and I just love it. You know,
(07:02):
it's here, Here's here's a here's a Barbie dream House.
Bubba got it for you. You. They have to put
it together, they have to manage like how the girls
get to play with it and the whole thing, and
I just I get to be the hero. It's a
great job, it is.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I hope I hope that.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
They don't put the photo on the box, because I
have seen kids know what they're getting so many different times,
because stupid companies will put like a picture of a
big bike on the side of a.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Box and then it arrives and they're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
My godsh oh yeah no, I'm hoping that. I don't
know where they're going to hide this thing. But I
think in the attic they don't listen. So they listen
to another morning show in Dallas. They'll listen to me.
I think they listen to Ability to kid. They don't
listen to me. So it's fine, I can talk. Yeah, no,
Serih's a friend. It's fine. But why would they Before
that it was kid Cratick. I got to hear what
kid Cratic show used to do. I'm like, well, you
know I do this for a living, right. You know
(07:49):
it's available on the art Great bos Craft, right exactly.
You want to Barbiere, you know what? You get the
town home now, forget about it, forget about it. I'm
returning the dream house. You get the townhome now. I
think the town Home is pretty brilliant marketing though, because
it's I think the dream House was one hundred and
eighty bucks and I think the town home is like eighty.
(08:12):
So somebody at Mattel was like, guys, luck, we're not
selling enough of these houses. We got to really adapt
to the times here, so let's downsize and we'll make
it up. But I know we've talked about it before,
but what other pivotal toys if you had the money.
And I get that a lot of people didn't have
the money for this stuff, but you know, there was
always the kid on the block that had the money somehow,
(08:34):
and even though you were all in the same neighborhood,
like somehow, you know, Jimmy's parents. I don't know if
they were buying everything on credit or what. I have
no idea, but like, somehow, there was that one kid
that had the trampoline. There was the one kid that
had the Barbie Jeep or the or whatever the male
equivalent was, like a little little battery operated corvette or
(08:55):
I don't remember what the eighties version was for a
young Fred. But what else? What else can you guys
think of? Like the toys that like the pivotal toy.
The bicycle was one.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Oh yeah, the Razor scooters. When those first came out,
everybody wanted that first.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Roller blades were a thing in the nineties. I think
they tried to make them come back. I'm not sure
if they had. Oh yeah, that was a pivotal toy
for you, Kalin Tickle Me Elmo.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Do you not remember how hard they were to get?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Well, yeah, but I mean that I feel like the
bicycle changed the game like that, like now I can
get on my bike and I can ride into the
sunset and never come back. You know, it was an
ultimate freedom. Tickle Me Elmo didn't didn't really provide me
with the same enjoyment. Well damn, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I mean, uh, my ferbies did everything that was so bad.
I wanted my bar I wanted the Barbie car. I
wanted obviously my parents always bought me.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I mean, the equivalent of everything. But I was like, wait,
like I don't want the tractor, about the pink jew wagon.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Right, nothing in my Barbie Gee.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'm sure for some kids' phones, I would guess, like
video game systems, I would guess computers, yeah, are like
real game changers, Like you remember, I would imagine you
remember when you got your first phone, when you got
your first you know, computer or whatever. But yeah, so
I'm excited for this now. I just know it's going
to get more expensive from here, which is where I
was really going with this because Kiki I saw and
(10:29):
I alluded to it a couple of times yesterday. But
if you follow her on social media that you took
your nephews to dinner, I was it red Lobsters that
where you were? Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yes, their choice, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I'm sure. I'm sure it was. And I noticed were
there three of them?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And I noticed there were like lobster tails on the table.
I think I saw like crab legs. Oh my, yes,
there were filays. There was a seafood I didn't know
they had a seafood tower Red Lobster, but they did.
I mean, but I was just amazing. It was probably
three hundred bucks where the food on the table? Yea
for these kids, which what are you with? Thirteen? And
then the other ones are under ten, aren't they?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And the problem is starting to be that now they're
like they're tight, so they hang out, they talk all
day on their phone. So before I would take the
littles out and then I would take the older ones out,
and I would do it separately. You know, one check
will go to the littles, the other one goes to
the Now they're starting to communicate with each other, so
they're like, well, aren't you gonna pick up you know,
com Ari, And I'm like, well, Jackson, no, I.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Was just trying to take you, you know, Like it's
like now you.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Have to take them as a group because they ride
for each other, so you can't even like just sneak
out and take one. You gotta take some. Oh yeah,
it's getting crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh I have noticed that Pauli's doing that for Maeve,
and I mean she's a great big sister, but it
would be like, I'll bring Polly something because Mae is
what is she two and a half? So it's not
that she doesn't know. If we've already had this debate
on this show whether the kids at that age even
know if you gave them the gift versus someone else.
Polly absolutely knows if it came from me and that
(11:59):
I gave it to her, and whatever may if I
don't know yet, Like for example, the Barbie House is
coming and Amanda is like, it'll be good for both
of them, like you don't need to get two of
them or something like it'll be fine, but Polly will say,
I'll bring Polly a present when I come to see her.
I'll usually get on Amazon and I'll ship it to
the house and then i'll give it to you know,
it's there already, and then I give it to her
as a surprise, and and then the first thing she'll
(12:22):
say now is what did you get from me? Which
is very nice of you, but I'm like, you know what,
mind's your business?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Okay, like like giving my toy back? Because that's just.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Why are you a rat? Why you a rat? Polly?
Like what are you doing in this economy? Like look,
why are you snitching? Like, don't go tell her?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
She's like what, I'm my sister, you know, does not
know what's going on. Like I make the prices for
Gigi and she doesn't know.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I bring her like a bunch of hand I don't know. Yeah,
they're happy, like they don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Well, I'm sure you remember a couple of years ago
we had the debate when Polly was much younger. I'm like,
why am I buying a bunch of toys for this kid?
Because she's too youyears old? Like she doesn't know they
came from me? And she's gonna get a bunch of toys,
I mean, so fine. And then you guys were like, no,
you have to buy her toys, and I did. But
the fact is the satisfaction. I mean, yes, of course
she was happy to get something new, but she I mean,
there was no like way for her to have taken
(13:14):
inventory of of how much she had or where it
came from. So the joy really is is in you
watching you know, you get like, you get whatever. However
many minutes it takes for them to open the toy
and then throw it to the side, like it's really
about me at that point, like and so is this
Barbie house. To be honest with you, I can totally
see why parents do stuff like this where it's like,
you know, why does why does he have that? It's
(13:36):
like because I there's no Polly is not getting the
town home, which she can have. We're not I'm not
on these streets. People aren't going to be talking about
me like that. You know, they're not gonna be like
I heard Fred was only a townhouse guy. I heard
he wouldn't do the four He wouldn't do the four
payments for the for the whole thing, you know, So no,
I did the four payments for the whole thing because
(13:56):
I can't have my nieces because but that's about me, right,
it's not even about them, absolutely.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I mean I you know I would have sent in both.
But you know, I want, I want about the Marty
Kolo sat.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But you know what do.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
They need a town home and and mansion for? If
you got the manchion, you don't need the town home
is vacation Homeme. Yeah, oh lord that is.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
And then when when Polly doesn't want to share with me,
she did say, go play with the townhouse.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You know, the big house is fine, so go ahead
and put that in the car. Uncle for it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I'm curious though. Quickly before we get to the headlines,
the biggest stories of the day eight five, five, five, nine,
one one three five There was a point to all
of them. Well one, it was to brag that I
sprung for the for the I was really proud of
myself because I'm like, I can get out of this
for last I really can, and they would be they'd
be very happy with it. But no, I went for
the bigger item. But in light of the lobster tails
at Red Lobster for the for the eight year old,
(14:52):
what is the super expensive thing that your kid has
asked for? And you're like, where did you come up
with that? Because there's another thing we've learned from Kiki's nephews,
yep is like I know in this generation now and
it's smart and I wish we could have done this,
but but you know making Like in fact, I talked
to a friend of mine about this last night. Her
(15:13):
niece sent her like a I guess there's a shared
document that this teenager made and has all of the
gifts different price ranges. It's all organized by price range,
and then there's like some aspirational gifts in there too,
Like it's I don't know what a seventeen year old
wants now, but it's you know, some clothes uppere and
then at this price point with a link. So all
(15:34):
you got to do is click on the link and
then hit by and then like the addresses in there
and just as.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I love it, it's color coded. Yeah, my sister she
has links.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
It's all right there, Like we need to do more
of this, help each other out.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But yeah, so I guess this girl, it's like, you know,
here's some clothes I want some gift cards, and then
all the way to the bottom, it's like b W
and Gucci. Right, It's like it's all the way down here.
It's like, you know, just in case you're feeling really generous,
you know, a fifteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Dollars back down your year this year.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Smart.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And I guess the mom of this teenager was like,
what are you doing putting a you know, fifteen hundred
dollars handbag on this list? And it was like, well,
you know, aunt so and so might be feeling a
little generous, and so, you know, I got to put
something in there for all price ranges. But I'm just
curious if what you know, what it was for you
guys like that that your your sister or your nieces
or nephews or whatever. It's like, where did you you want?
(16:28):
What you want flying lessons? You're eight years old? Like
what you are you talking? You want to you want
a private jet? Like what do you mean designer?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Like why are you asking for designer at your young
tender age?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:40):
You know, like they want Gucci, they want when shoes,
they want to marry exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I'm like, I'm not even warning.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
I have on fashion Nova, Right, how do you you
expect me to pay for this, but that's the stuff
that they asked for.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Is, yeah, that's gonna be. But that's going to be
where I come in. Is Polly's gonna say, or may
It's going to say, I want this thing that's expensive,
and then my sister's just gonna punt it off on me.
So I said, but it's cheaper than college. So fine,
you know, here you go, here's here, you're whatever you
want because I don't have to pay for college. Now
let me see her, fred I you've seen the fifty
plus parking garage from Matchbox for boys. God, that's brilliant
(17:21):
because I would imagine it doesn't come with fifty cars.
So you know, if you buy the fifty car, which
I guess this is the equivalence of the Barbie dream House.
But if you buy the fifty car garage from Matchbox,
then you could probably have to buy fifty cars because
you can't have the thing like empty, you know what
I mean. Like, so Matchbox is smart because you know,
(17:41):
I would imagine over time you got to keep buying
the kid cars to fill the thing up, because nobody
wants like two cars in their fifty car garage. Right,
that's pretty smart. Power wheels were it in the nineties,
big wheels, Yeah, that those were like that was like
the big wheel in the front and the little one
in the back, like kind of a first bike, right,
Is that what that is?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I remember the big wheels.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I haven't had one of those in a few years,
so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
That's one big wheel and two little ones in the back.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh yeah, a little tricycle.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
All about keeping up with the Jones, is h Yeah, No,
that's I agree. I think a lot of this stuff
is about the parents and not the kids, and then
the kids benefit from it because you know, it was
like when I was growing up and and uh my
mom bought me a Nintendo and it came with a
game that had three games on it, and it was like, fine, here,
play with this. And then the neighbor kid that she
didn't like I came home. I'm like, well, you know,
(18:36):
whatever his name is, Trey or whatever his name was,
he has ten games. And my mom looks at me,
Trey has ten games. Yeah, he has ten, ten of them. Yeah,
get in the car and we went. We went to
tos Rus and we bought nine more games because there
was no way the tray and his parents that were drunks.
There was no way that they that you know then,
that were very rude, and that there sprinklers sprayed our
(18:58):
house with. There was no way that Trey was gonna
have more games than us. There was just no way.
So I think maybe that's I'm teaching people now that
I'm teaching children this morning who are listening. Exploit your parents'
desire to not be the parents that don't give you
the thing.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Um let me see here. My daughter's he's a text.
My daughter's grown. But when she was a teenager, she
found in a box my Christmas list from I was
a kid. It had things on it like a Rubik's cube,
a necklace, a clock, radio, and some other little things.
She said, what is this? That's all you wanted? And now,
of course the list is super elaborate. It's right, I
(19:35):
mean think about that, like you know Legos or whatever.
But now Legos are two hundred bucks and you can't
just have like the bucket of Legos like we got.
I got to have the Lego Eiffel Tower. It's three
hundred and ninety nine dollars and lighting kit that goes
with it. My fifteen year old son won't give me
a Christmas list for what he wants. He plays video
(19:56):
games in hockey. It's he's super smart, but he doesn't
want all kinds of stuff. I guess that's that's good,
But I mean, yeah, you probably want some ideas of something.
I asked for an easy bake oven when I was
a kid. I thought that was too extravagant in terms
of price. And now they're back, by the way, I think.
(20:17):
I think they're doing better than a light bulb. Now
is a heating element.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
It's it air fryar. I'm convinced.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Oh god. Now people are saying the other Barbie things,
that Barbie camper is a Barbie does campus.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
My mom had that. It's still in the garage.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
She needs this may and probably they need that.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yes, can you stop it right now? They need they
got a mansion, okay, and that they don't get a camper, Davids,
they need the vacation home man whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Fred's biggest stories of the day are you actually.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That you asked a really good question of the Erkki
to Jason who was an only child, like you wish
your Christmas just lift because it was just you, and
I guess your parents were like, well, okay, I really
got one, so they he can have everything.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Right, Yeah, they have nothing, no one else to spend
their money on. But yeah no, I mean I'm not
even gonna lie. And this probably makes me sound really bad,
but like anything that I could even think of, like
they were getting, maybe they felt guilty because I wasn't
only just know, I don't know, but like I have
three cousins that are all boys, their brothers obviously, and
they will come over and tease me, oh, like what
(21:28):
did you get one new one new iPhone?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Did you get or did you get a new MacBook?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And I'd be like.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Yeah, I like, as a matter of fact, I did.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Would you like to see it?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
But you know my parents were very they blessed me
a lot, so yeah, good.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Doesn't want to only child Gig doesn't want toys.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Oh, I'm sure she wants toys. I've done the thing though,
where I ask people like, please don't get her toys
this Christmas. And I hated doing that, like I don't
want to tell nobody how to spend their money, like
that's so weird to me. But I was like, you know,
I don't have a kitchen table because I have toys
all the ladies living room, I have a bouncy house,
Like I'm crazy. So I'm like, I really would like
to make space and like not have toys like and
(22:09):
I felt so like weird asking that, but honestly everyone
understood that was good.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Do they respect it?
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Because I am the aunt, Like my brother's like, no
more toys and I'm like, brushut up exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Who they're judging me? Yes, But everyone seemed to like
get it. I honestly want experiences.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I'm like, because we are tracked in the house right
now it is winter, I'm like, I want to be
outside doing something with her somewhere, so we'll see.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'm going to get her a nice trip to mine
at North Dakota uh affiliate there. She's gonna love it.
She's gonna for it. I know she's been saying mine
not one of her first words, dog and mine not.
That's yeah, No, it's it's lovely there this time of year.
It's it's incredible. I had I had a follow up question,
(22:53):
but I got too caught up thinking about negative five,
so I forgot what it was. Oh, Kiki, do you
are you fair about how much you spend on your
nephews or or is there one that sort of gets
more because you like, I mean, maybe you don't love
it more, but you know what I mean, Like, is
there is the older one. The older one probably you
(23:14):
spend more on, right, because the stuff that he wants
is more.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah, so the older one.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
My excuse with him is always like, well, you know,
we're his parents. You know, my brother died unfortunately, so
like he gets more from everybody because we're all you know,
we're his parents. But the other kids, now, like I said,
they're starting to communicate. So I cannot send one more
than I've sent the other because they're going to get
together on the phone and say, well did she send
you fifty bucks? Because she send me, you know, send
(23:38):
me my bus. So now everybody has to be equal.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
They're playing it wrong. Oh I would have not said
anything I'm.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Telling you, but yeah, no, everybody gets equal now because
I yeah, they're talking.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Stronger in numbers.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I have a friend with an eighteen year old niece
and it's a similar situation. I mean it was kind
of like raising a village sort of thing. So not
the mom but kind of the mom and she'll just
we'll be hanging out and then and the niece will
just send her a text, Hey I need fifty bucks.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Oh yeah, that's my life.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And then it's just cash app fifty bucks because you
get so easy to do. It's like, wait, wait, you
need fifty bucks? Like what? I cannot I even imagine.
I don't know what the equivalent was when I was
seventeen years old. It was probably twenty bucks. But I
can't imagine. If I texted my my aunt and goes,
I need, I need fifty bucks, you'd be like, then
go get a job. I don't know exactly. Yes, it
(24:29):
never would have happened, but I know it's coming where
it's gonna be like I need I need Starbucks.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
And that's how they say it too. They say, like,
my nephew goes, can you send me thirty bucks? I
need chick fil A? Like, no, you don't need chick
fil A. You want chick fil A, and so do
I but I'm not you never like yup, but he
gets idio, you.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Need to go make a sandwich is what you need
to do.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
So uh. Biggest stories of the day, severe winter weather
another day, another story, like this. It's unleashing travel chasts
across the US, causing widespread flight delays and road accidents.
This particular storm system is expected to strengthen rapidly into
what they're calling a bomb cyclone, which not in a
good way.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
They use.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's funny. I thought that I'd heard that it was
your nickname at one time. Jason S.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Actually, hey, yeah, okay, there's something common, yes, cyclone.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
So anyway, Caitlin and Jason track up the East coast today.
Air travel was hit especially hard on Monday, with O'Hare
reporting the most disruptions. Over fifteen hundred flights were delayed,
more than three hundred for cancel. Road conditions are also
deteriorating in multiple states. Police in Missouri received numerous calls
about accidents. Heavy snowslick roads. Further east, Around a quarter
(25:45):
inch of ice could glaze parts of North Carolina, West Virginia,
and Virginia in the coming hours. The TSA fee that
I was telling you about, Paulina for the real idea
that you have to have. You can no longer use
that print out that you got from the DMV eight
years ago. The TSA I DFI will go into effect
next year, Travelers without a real ID will have to
(26:07):
pay forty five dollars to go through TSA checkpoints starting
next year. Just go get one.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, they cross the line with that. I will be
going this weekend.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
I don't believe you know, I am paid for.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
That's one way. Then you got to pay forty five
to come back.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
You have a passport, stay stronger. No, not not doing
it toxic. Nope, no money.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I guess you'd have to do this. By the way,
before you go to the airport, say that GOV and
verify your identity before the air So if you like
show up, you're gonna I mean, they already scream at you.
And I don't really blame them. I don't people who
complain about TSA screaming at you. It's like the reason
they're screaming at you is because it's like people act
these days like they've never been to the airport before.
(26:57):
It's unbelievable. It's like, why don't I always stand behind
the person who's like, Wow, I've never seen an airplane.
This is crazy. What does this place do? You know?
And then they get to the line, they got the
belt on, their shoes on, they got you know, the
liquids in the bag. They get everything they do and
everything wrong. It's like what but now now it would
be that much worse. You would you would get to
(27:18):
the line and be like, well, I don't have a
you know, Paulina, I don't have a real idea. You know, Like,
well then I don't know. Go find a computer somewhere
and you're gonna have to figure it out, right, weimo.
These are the driverless cars apparently drove right through a
police standoff and it's making news video circulating on social
media with this weimo the driverless uber. This is in LA.
(27:40):
Passengers were inside it casually turns left and right and
right into the middle of a live LA police standoff.
In fairness, how would that, weimo know that? I mean,
it is it is driving you your life is dependent
upon it. But I guess how would it know? On
the street, officers from the LA Police Department had surrounded
the suspect line face down next to a truck, guns drawn,
(28:03):
commands being shouted, and then here comes this way mod
just cruising on through. I don't know how they're gonna
fix that, but this sounds kind of dangerous. If you
watched Monday Night football, which I know Jason did. There's
a kicker, and I hope I'm saying this guy's name
right and you're gonna laugh. But it's young Hoku.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
So I just looked it up as Young Ways.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah. I was afraid of this, see thank you, because
I knew I was gonna scree It looks like young hoe.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Is what does it does? Any announcers have been having
a hard time with it too.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'd like to apologize for not knowing that, because as
soon as I said it, I'm like, I know, I'm
not right, there's no way. But then again, so this
dude last night, he's a field goal kicker. He went
to kick the field goal, but he missed the like
he hit the ground in front of the like maybe
I don't know, six inches in front of the ball.
(28:54):
I don't know how this happens exactly, but like he
didn't with I mean, he he kicked the ground in
front of him.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
It was real embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
And they say he's one of the most like accurate
kickers in the NFL, which I you know, after seeing that,
I didn't believe.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But young Way Man, Young Way, not what I said, Coop, Yeah,
I mean, it's very embarrassing, but like he literally he
kicked the grass in front of the ball. And then
I guess the Patriots, which is your favorite? Well, well
one of your favorite teams, Jason, isn't it. You're not
a Giants guy.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
No, I'm not. And I like the Patriots.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
No, So I didn't like them because of Tom Brady,
but now I like them because CARDI.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
B got it that I understand.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I'm coming back around.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, And I know you're a big young way Coup guy,
so this is disappointing for you. Thank you Caitlin for
looking it up, because I honestly, I probably I don't
know who this guy is. I probably would have kept
going with that until someone was like, hey, moron, that's
not how you say it, but it's not.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Pronounced how it spelled it all, so I get why
that would happen.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
That's why I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I was like, oh, I also feel pretty confident it's
not what I said. It was, just who knows. Netflix
users are no longer going to be able to cast
shows from their phones to their TVs in most cases,
as the company has quietly ended support for the feature.
That means that you would have to use a Netflix
app on your TV, or rely on your remote for
(30:15):
playback controls. The change was first spotted by Android Authority
and quickly drew criticism. I guess the Netflix says no
one uses that feature. I use that feature all the time,
so I don't know, but I would assume that means
the iPad as well. So like if you're watching something
on your phone or your iPad and then you click
the little thing and make it go on your TV,
I guess they don't want you to do that anymore.
(30:37):
I've noticed that there's also a lot of the streaming
apps won't let you do it, Like if you're watching
ESPN and you want to cast it to the TV,
like at a tailgate or something. I've noticed they don't
want you to do that, or they'll take that feature away,
depending on how you're doing it. I guess it's because
they don't want you displaying the game for a bunch
of people and then they don't get paid for that.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Oh, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
You already keep charging and going up in your price.
Now you want to tell me how to use the app?
Like okay, And.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
That's what somebody said, Like, what do make the experienced
in the other words.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
You want, I can't use Netflix, how I wants to know?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
This is too much right right between this and young Way,
I mean, I'm just and and the TSA fees. It's crazy.
The Oxford University Press is crowned. This is another person,
another group telling us what the word of the year is.
It's actually two words. Rage bait is their twenty twenty
five word of the year, and not to how much
online content this year has been crafted to deliberately make
(31:33):
people angry. That sounds like our text line some days.
The term refers to post design to spark outrage so
that users click, argue, and share. Rage bait is their
word of the year. Yes, it seems to be a thing.
It's like, you know, what what can I possibly say
to It doesn't matter what the post is. What what
(31:53):
can I put in here that's going to be derogatory
or mean or angry or anything just to make people mad?
There's always one. It doesn't matter, you know, I haven't
looked at the post yesterday about little Fred, the dog
that you guys donated to and named after me, which
was for my birthday, which was extremely kind. I'm sure
someone in there is like, I don't know why it
wasn't a bird, you know, I don't know why. I
(32:17):
don't know why. Guys don't we never do spiders? You
know you hate spiders. There's always somebody who has to
get in there and say something negative. How about not?
What else do I have for you guys today? Oh,
and ring cameras finally are ruining everything. But A family
in Middleburg, Florida, slammed door Dash this week after their
(32:37):
ring camera captured a driver mishandling their orders. So this
dude had a container of boneless wings. He dropped it.
One of the wings I guess came out of the container.
What did he do? What anybody would do? Picked it up,
put it back in, licked his fingers, wiped the floor
with his foot, drove away. The mom was shaken in
(32:59):
which she saw I mean that seems dramatic, but I'm
calling it disgusting. She said. If someone can't deliver food
carefully and hygienically, maybe they shouldn't be delivering at all.
Door Dashes responded by calling the act well below the
level of service that we aim to provide, saying the
delivery violates their standards and they've started in investigation and
issued a warning to the driver. Yeah, we would never
(33:23):
You never would have known if not for the ring camera.
All the things out that you can't do because of
the ring camera. But that's pretty disgusting. And Jason was
a former is a former doordask driver. Oh yeah, and
I know. I know you would have told on yourself
because you're a rule follower, so you would have knocked
on the door and said I dropped.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
This, oh one hundred percent. And also like PSA, you're
supposed to have a bag. If your dasher does not
have your food in a bag as they're delivering it,
it's against policy. Okay, Like I always make sure i'm
my little bag and it's zipped up, and then as
I'm walking up you unzipping, You're like.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Here's your food.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yeah, I don't feel like I always get that.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You know, it's an epidemic. Right now, it does not happen.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
You're eating your button bringing me my food.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That's actually really interesting because you're right, Caitlin, I don't.
So you're saying that the bag in the bag. I
know they seal the bags now for the most part,
but you're saying that if I get a door dash,
it needs to come out of that red thing.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah, like you should be carrying your own and that
heat is supposed to keep it warm or whatever too.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I'm gonna say, you're against policy, you're arrested.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, So they're not supposed to just hand me chicken
McNugget chicken mcnigga the pocket.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
They just baby burden to me usually really Yeah, I
opened my mouth and they throw it.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
It's kind of a cool thing for extra tips.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know, that's an additional feed.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I see. All right. It's National Day of Giving today,
Giving Tuesday, National Mutt Day, and National Special Education Day
today as well.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Kallen's entertainment report is on The Freash Show.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Diddy fired off a blunt public warning ahead of today's
premiere of Sean Combe's The Reckoning, calling the Netflix docuseries
a shameful hit piece. And yes, this is the one
that is produced by Paulina's Feavorite producer Curtis Jackson aka
fifty cent So. According to a statement from Ditty's team,
the show uses what they describe as stolen footage that
(35:08):
was never authorized for release, including intimate clips and private
moments material that Diddy says he's been collecting for decades
with plans to tell his own story on his own terms.
They argue it's not just irresponsible, it's fundamentally unfair and illegal.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
They also take aim.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
At the fact that the project is being produced by
fifty who clearly has not liked Diddy for a long time.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I mean, he makes that very clear.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Now.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
As for Diddy, he says that he's so outspoken about
or I'm sorry, excuse me, fifty cent. He says he's
so out spoken about Ditty, and he's doing this docuseries
because he feels like if he didn't, people would think
that the entire like hip hop community was cool with.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
What happened with Ditty. I don't know if that's what
he said.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
On the other side, Netflix and the docuseries director Alexandria
Stapleton insists that they got the footage.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Legally have secured the rights.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
It aims to chronicle both Diddy's rise to fame and
the controversial allegations and criminal case that derailed him. Now,
Aubrio DA did not take the stand in his trial.
But Jason, we were wondering, remember she said she was
working on.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Something h she didn't talk about some stuff.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
She is in this She is one of the interviews
and I cannot wait to watch it tonight.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
It's going to be interesting.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
After more than a six year battle, Channing Tatum and
Jenna Dewan have finally nailed down key terms of their
divorce settlement.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
That's a long one.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Documents show that they signed off on a fifty to
fifty split of each other's pension benefits. That's nice under
a screen Actor's Guild producer's pension plan. I did not
know that existed, but only for the portion earned during
their marriage, So twenty nine to twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
So a long one.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
But that little nugget of info comes after a really
long battle over profits from Channing's breakout hit franchise, Magic Mike.
Because what happened while they were married, You know that happened,
and that's.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
One of the things that kind of dragged out there
to war.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
As for daughter, everly, they will continue to share custody.
And lastly, really quick, it's officially the holiday season, so
you know, in this economy, I want to tell you
how much Kevin McAllister is famous. Nineteen ninety two Plaza
Hotel stay from home alone to Lost in New York
would cost if it happened in twenty twenty five. So
(37:20):
Kevin's original bill in nineteen ninety two, a fancy Plaza
Hotel suite plus room service, snacks and desserts came to
two thy, one hundred, one hundred and nine dollars, But
thanks to inflation and the sneak up luxury pricing at
these hotels, that same night in twenty twenty five would
set you back roughly eight thousand, five hundred and eleven dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Good.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
Yeah, so the sweet runs like six thousand a night
versus you know, one thousand and nineteen ninety two, so
that would be very crazy. He had remember that sixteen
scoop Sunday that was what you can get.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I saw it actually, So this week at the Plaza
Hotel on the recams, it's like three hundred and fifty
bucks or something, and it's a whole thing. They show
up and it's got the get the container for it
and it comes with all the stuff. But yeah, sixteen
scoops of ice cream and it's sauces and the whatever.
It's Yeah, that's what you get a few for three
hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Right, Okay, well that's not too bad. In the movie,
it used to be eighteen bucks. Now it would cost
you twenty four. But if you're going to the real plaza,
you're going to have to really fork up some serious dough.

the studio while I'm working with the birthday cake. Yeah,
I all day yesterday. I got to hear about that.
It's like, yeah, so you say you don't like birthday cakes.
I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know what
you were doing. Okay, they storm in the room while
(02:07):
I'm working hard.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
That's the point of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Well, I know, but you know, sometimes the surprises are
run here are not They're not the right kind. They're
not they're not thoughtful surprises like the one that you
guys came up with her. It's it's like, you know,
people don't care, and oh, it's like, we'll use we've
got to have a conference call. We'll just use this room,
the radio studio, the one that we're performing. Yet, you know,
that's that's kind of what I thought was going on,
(02:32):
right right, This is a performance, Klan. I don't know
if you're performing, but I am certainly performing. Okay, it's
a performance to wake up at this time and have
this much energy.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
That's fair.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I was performing and then you know, these people come
in with a cake and I didn't know. And now
I've gone viral with a meme of me with my
hand in the air, shunning shunning the kind people with
a birthday cake.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
And now I've gone viral.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'm performing, go viral at once. My performance has gone viral. Guys.
I did something I never thought I would do yesterday,
truly in my life. I bought a Barbie dream House. Wow,
I feel like I contributed to a pivotal moment in
my niece's lives. I feel like I, I mean, there
(03:21):
are certain things in life that happen. The Barbie dream
House for some, and I know not everybody. I know
it's an aspirational thing and it's only the uncle with
no kids and no real financial obligations, it's able to
do something like that. You know, if I had kids
or a four one K then guaranteed, guaranteed human, then
(03:42):
I wouldn't be able to do this. But I and
I was able to buy the Barbie Dream House. Now,
I was told yesterday that they wanted one by my sister.
Because that's another thing now she's decided is that if
it's expensive, then she'll just recommend that I buy it,
and I can't. Well, you know this, Kiki, and I
can't wait and you'll, uh, the girls fully understand that,
(04:03):
because I do think at some point my sister, who
I love dearly, I think she'll I think she'll use it.
I think she'll just tell them like, oh, you wanted
you want you know, these dance lessons, or you want
this thing, then I want you to ask Babba. Like
I think at some point they're just gonna have phones
and they're gonna have my number and then they're just
gonna call me and then I'm gonna have to tell
them no. But right now we know there's a they
(04:24):
have my nieces have people where they have middle people
who are you know, handlers who are facilitating all. I
guess they're called parents. But so I got a text
it was the girls would like a Barbie dream house
for Christmas. However, if you don't want to spend two
hundred dollars, you can get them. And then it was
like in lesser annunciate like you know, I don't know,
(04:45):
like it was like a lesser thing, you can get
them the Barbie town Home. Ob Yeah, So I didn't.
I didn't know this. I didn't know that they have
a more affordable option now with the Barbie dream House.
It's the Barbie town Home. It's one hundred dollars less,
stop it, yeah, and it's it's a town home instead
(05:05):
of a mansions.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Everyone's right, you're going to move out her dream home.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's a Barbie tiny house. It's what it is. And
it's like, I don't yeah, right, and I'm not. It's
too early for those girls to understand how life really works.
That you hope for a mansion, but you wind up
in a town home like that's not you know, or
or not or less, And so I decided to spring
for it, especially after watching Polly's little video of her
singing Happy Birthday to me. I probably watched that thirty
(05:35):
times yesterday. When Amanda says, because you know, Amanda is
a therapist, my sister, so everything is consent, so she
would have asked the four year old, and it was
even alluded to in the video if it's on our
on our social Friendshire radio. She spoke with Polly ahead
of time to make sure she was okay to make
a video for my birthday. So then when in the video,
(05:59):
you can hear her say, now we're gonna do the
thing that we talked about before because you already agreed
to it. But my favorite part of the whole video
is she says, okay, now you're gonna sing Bubba happy
birthday because they called me bubba, because my sister called
me bubba. And then she goes, I'm gonna sing happy birthday.
She she states what she's gonna do because even though
we established it like, we're gonna state it again because
(06:20):
we are we are intentional, you know about what we do.
But because of that video that I sprung for the
Barbie Dream Home house or whatever it's called, I don't
really know what I bought and I'll never see it.
I at least I won't see it until after Christmas,
because they do Christmas in Texas. So the nice thing
is I just sent this gigantic box of their house.
(06:41):
I think it. I would assume it's a gigantic box.
It looks like a gigantic structure. And because and then
my sister has to deal with that, she has to
wrap it, and then they'll have to put it together.
Colin will have to put it together. And then I
guess I just get the glory. So it's really it's
it's it's on theme, it's on brand for what the
uncle gig is and I just love it. You know,
(07:02):
it's here, Here's here's a here's a Barbie dream House.
Bubba got it for you. You. They have to put
it together, they have to manage like how the girls
get to play with it and the whole thing, and
I just I get to be the hero. It's a
great job, it is.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I hope I hope that.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
They don't put the photo on the box, because I
have seen kids know what they're getting so many different times,
because stupid companies will put like a picture of a
big bike on the side of a.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Box and then it arrives and they're like, oh.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
My godsh oh yeah no, I'm hoping that. I don't
know where they're going to hide this thing. But I
think in the attic they don't listen. So they listen
to another morning show in Dallas. They'll listen to me.
I think they listen to Ability to kid. They don't
listen to me. So it's fine, I can talk. Yeah, no,
Serih's a friend. It's fine. But why would they Before
that it was kid Cratick. I got to hear what
kid Cratic show used to do. I'm like, well, you
know I do this for a living, right. You know
(07:49):
it's available on the art Great bos Craft, right exactly.
You want to Barbiere, you know what? You get the
town home now, forget about it, forget about it. I'm
returning the dream house. You get the townhome now. I
think the town Home is pretty brilliant marketing though, because
it's I think the dream House was one hundred and
eighty bucks and I think the town home is like eighty.
(08:12):
So somebody at Mattel was like, guys, luck, we're not
selling enough of these houses. We got to really adapt
to the times here, so let's downsize and we'll make
it up. But I know we've talked about it before,
but what other pivotal toys if you had the money.
And I get that a lot of people didn't have
the money for this stuff, but you know, there was
always the kid on the block that had the money somehow,
(08:34):
and even though you were all in the same neighborhood,
like somehow, you know, Jimmy's parents. I don't know if
they were buying everything on credit or what. I have
no idea, but like, somehow, there was that one kid
that had the trampoline. There was the one kid that
had the Barbie Jeep or the or whatever the male
equivalent was, like a little little battery operated corvette or
(08:55):
I don't remember what the eighties version was for a
young Fred. But what else? What else can you guys
think of? Like the toys that like the pivotal toy.
The bicycle was one.
Speaker 7 (09:06):
Oh yeah, the Razor scooters. When those first came out,
everybody wanted that first.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Roller blades were a thing in the nineties. I think
they tried to make them come back. I'm not sure
if they had. Oh yeah, that was a pivotal toy
for you, Kalin Tickle Me Elmo.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Do you not remember how hard they were to get?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Well, yeah, but I mean that I feel like the
bicycle changed the game like that, like now I can
get on my bike and I can ride into the
sunset and never come back. You know, it was an
ultimate freedom. Tickle Me Elmo didn't didn't really provide me
with the same enjoyment. Well damn, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
I mean, uh, my ferbies did everything that was so bad.
I wanted my bar I wanted the Barbie car. I
wanted obviously my parents always bought me.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I mean, the equivalent of everything. But I was like, wait,
like I don't want the tractor, about the pink jew wagon.
Speaker 4 (10:04):
Right, nothing in my Barbie Gee.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I'm sure for some kids' phones, I would guess, like
video game systems, I would guess computers, yeah, are like
real game changers, Like you remember, I would imagine you
remember when you got your first phone, when you got
your first you know, computer or whatever. But yeah, so
I'm excited for this now. I just know it's going
to get more expensive from here, which is where I
was really going with this because Kiki I saw and
(10:29):
I alluded to it a couple of times yesterday. But
if you follow her on social media that you took
your nephews to dinner, I was it red Lobsters that
where you were? Yes?
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yes, their choice, mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
I'm sure. I'm sure it was. And I noticed were
there three of them?
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
And I noticed there were like lobster tails on the table.
I think I saw like crab legs. Oh my, yes,
there were filays. There was a seafood I didn't know
they had a seafood tower Red Lobster, but they did.
I mean, but I was just amazing. It was probably
three hundred bucks where the food on the table? Yea
for these kids, which what are you with? Thirteen? And
then the other ones are under ten, aren't they?
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And the problem is starting to be that now they're
like they're tight, so they hang out, they talk all
day on their phone. So before I would take the
littles out and then I would take the older ones out,
and I would do it separately. You know, one check
will go to the littles, the other one goes to
the Now they're starting to communicate with each other, so
they're like, well, aren't you gonna pick up you know,
com Ari, And I'm like, well, Jackson, no, I.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Was just trying to take you, you know, Like it's
like now you.
Speaker 7 (11:29):
Have to take them as a group because they ride
for each other, so you can't even like just sneak
out and take one. You gotta take some. Oh yeah,
it's getting crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh I have noticed that Pauli's doing that for Maeve,
and I mean she's a great big sister, but it
would be like, I'll bring Polly something because Mae is
what is she two and a half? So it's not
that she doesn't know. If we've already had this debate
on this show whether the kids at that age even
know if you gave them the gift versus someone else.
Polly absolutely knows if it came from me and that
(11:59):
I gave it to her, and whatever may if I
don't know yet, Like for example, the Barbie House is
coming and Amanda is like, it'll be good for both
of them, like you don't need to get two of
them or something like it'll be fine, but Polly will say,
I'll bring Polly a present when I come to see her.
I'll usually get on Amazon and I'll ship it to
the house and then i'll give it to you know,
it's there already, and then I give it to her
as a surprise, and and then the first thing she'll
(12:22):
say now is what did you get from me? Which
is very nice of you, but I'm like, you know what,
mind's your business?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Okay, like like giving my toy back? Because that's just.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Why are you a rat? Why you a rat? Polly?
Like what are you doing in this economy? Like look,
why are you snitching? Like, don't go tell her?
Speaker 8 (12:42):
She's like what, I'm my sister, you know, does not
know what's going on. Like I make the prices for
Gigi and she doesn't know.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
I bring her like a bunch of hand I don't know. Yeah,
they're happy, like they don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Well, I'm sure you remember a couple of years ago
we had the debate when Polly was much younger. I'm like,
why am I buying a bunch of toys for this kid?
Because she's too youyears old? Like she doesn't know they
came from me? And she's gonna get a bunch of toys,
I mean, so fine. And then you guys were like, no,
you have to buy her toys, and I did. But
the fact is the satisfaction. I mean, yes, of course
she was happy to get something new, but she I mean,
there was no like way for her to have taken
(13:14):
inventory of of how much she had or where it
came from. So the joy really is is in you
watching you know, you get like, you get whatever. However
many minutes it takes for them to open the toy
and then throw it to the side, like it's really
about me at that point, like and so is this
Barbie house. To be honest with you, I can totally
see why parents do stuff like this where it's like,
you know, why does why does he have that? It's
(13:36):
like because I there's no Polly is not getting the
town home, which she can have. We're not I'm not
on these streets. People aren't going to be talking about
me like that. You know, they're not gonna be like
I heard Fred was only a townhouse guy. I heard
he wouldn't do the four He wouldn't do the four
payments for the for the whole thing, you know, So no,
I did the four payments for the whole thing because
(13:56):
I can't have my nieces because but that's about me, right,
it's not even about them, absolutely.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
I mean I you know I would have sent in both.
But you know, I want, I want about the Marty
Kolo sat.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But you know what do.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
They need a town home and and mansion for? If
you got the manchion, you don't need the town home
is vacation Homeme. Yeah, oh lord that is.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
And then when when Polly doesn't want to share with me,
she did say, go play with the townhouse.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
You know, the big house is fine, so go ahead
and put that in the car. Uncle for it.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
I'm curious though. Quickly before we get to the headlines,
the biggest stories of the day eight five, five, five, nine,
one one three five There was a point to all
of them. Well one, it was to brag that I
sprung for the for the I was really proud of
myself because I'm like, I can get out of this
for last I really can, and they would be they'd
be very happy with it. But no, I went for
the bigger item. But in light of the lobster tails
at Red Lobster for the for the eight year old,
(14:52):
what is the super expensive thing that your kid has
asked for? And you're like, where did you come up
with that? Because there's another thing we've learned from Kiki's nephews,
yep is like I know in this generation now and
it's smart and I wish we could have done this,
but but you know making Like in fact, I talked
to a friend of mine about this last night. Her
(15:13):
niece sent her like a I guess there's a shared
document that this teenager made and has all of the
gifts different price ranges. It's all organized by price range,
and then there's like some aspirational gifts in there too,
Like it's I don't know what a seventeen year old
wants now, but it's you know, some clothes uppere and
then at this price point with a link. So all
(15:34):
you got to do is click on the link and
then hit by and then like the addresses in there
and just as.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
I love it, it's color coded. Yeah, my sister she
has links.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
It's all right there, Like we need to do more
of this, help each other out.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
But yeah, so I guess this girl, it's like, you know,
here's some clothes I want some gift cards, and then
all the way to the bottom, it's like b W
and Gucci. Right, It's like it's all the way down here.
It's like, you know, just in case you're feeling really generous,
you know, a fifteen hundred.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Dollars back down your year this year.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Smart.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And I guess the mom of this teenager was like,
what are you doing putting a you know, fifteen hundred
dollars handbag on this list? And it was like, well,
you know, aunt so and so might be feeling a
little generous, and so, you know, I got to put
something in there for all price ranges. But I'm just
curious if what you know, what it was for you
guys like that that your your sister or your nieces
or nephews or whatever. It's like, where did you you want?
(16:28):
What you want flying lessons? You're eight years old? Like
what you are you talking? You want to you want
a private jet? Like what do you mean designer?
Speaker 7 (16:36):
Like why are you asking for designer at your young
tender age?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (16:40):
You know, like they want Gucci, they want when shoes,
they want to marry exactly.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I'm like, I'm not even warning.
Speaker 7 (16:50):
I have on fashion Nova, Right, how do you you
expect me to pay for this, but that's the stuff
that they asked for.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Is, yeah, that's gonna be. But that's going to be
where I come in. Is Polly's gonna say, or may
It's going to say, I want this thing that's expensive,
and then my sister's just gonna punt it off on me.
So I said, but it's cheaper than college. So fine,
you know, here you go, here's here, you're whatever you
want because I don't have to pay for college. Now
let me see her, fred I you've seen the fifty
plus parking garage from Matchbox for boys. God, that's brilliant
(17:21):
because I would imagine it doesn't come with fifty cars.
So you know, if you buy the fifty car, which
I guess this is the equivalence of the Barbie dream House.
But if you buy the fifty car garage from Matchbox,
then you could probably have to buy fifty cars because
you can't have the thing like empty, you know what
I mean. Like, so Matchbox is smart because you know,
(17:41):
I would imagine over time you got to keep buying
the kid cars to fill the thing up, because nobody
wants like two cars in their fifty car garage. Right,
that's pretty smart. Power wheels were it in the nineties,
big wheels, Yeah, that those were like that was like
the big wheel in the front and the little one
in the back, like kind of a first bike, right,
Is that what that is?
Speaker 4 (18:02):
I remember the big wheels.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I haven't had one of those in a few years,
so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
That's one big wheel and two little ones in the back.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Oh yeah, a little tricycle.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
All about keeping up with the Jones, is h Yeah, No,
that's I agree. I think a lot of this stuff
is about the parents and not the kids, and then
the kids benefit from it because you know, it was
like when I was growing up and and uh my
mom bought me a Nintendo and it came with a
game that had three games on it, and it was like, fine, here,
play with this. And then the neighbor kid that she
didn't like I came home. I'm like, well, you know,
(18:36):
whatever his name is, Trey or whatever his name was,
he has ten games. And my mom looks at me,
Trey has ten games. Yeah, he has ten, ten of them. Yeah,
get in the car and we went. We went to
tos Rus and we bought nine more games because there
was no way the tray and his parents that were drunks.
There was no way that they that you know then,
that were very rude, and that there sprinklers sprayed our
(18:58):
house with. There was no way that Trey was gonna
have more games than us. There was just no way.
So I think maybe that's I'm teaching people now that
I'm teaching children this morning who are listening. Exploit your parents'
desire to not be the parents that don't give you
the thing.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Um let me see here. My daughter's he's a text.
My daughter's grown. But when she was a teenager, she
found in a box my Christmas list from I was
a kid. It had things on it like a Rubik's cube,
a necklace, a clock, radio, and some other little things.
She said, what is this? That's all you wanted? And now,
of course the list is super elaborate. It's right, I
(19:35):
mean think about that, like you know Legos or whatever.
But now Legos are two hundred bucks and you can't
just have like the bucket of Legos like we got.
I got to have the Lego Eiffel Tower. It's three
hundred and ninety nine dollars and lighting kit that goes
with it. My fifteen year old son won't give me
a Christmas list for what he wants. He plays video
(19:56):
games in hockey. It's he's super smart, but he doesn't
want all kinds of stuff. I guess that's that's good,
But I mean, yeah, you probably want some ideas of something.
I asked for an easy bake oven when I was
a kid. I thought that was too extravagant in terms
of price. And now they're back, by the way, I think.
(20:17):
I think they're doing better than a light bulb. Now
is a heating element.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
It's it air fryar. I'm convinced.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Oh god. Now people are saying the other Barbie things,
that Barbie camper is a Barbie does campus.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
My mom had that. It's still in the garage.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
She needs this may and probably they need that.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yes, can you stop it right now? They need they
got a mansion, okay, and that they don't get a camper, Davids,
they need the vacation home man whatever.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Fred's biggest stories of the day are you actually.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
That you asked a really good question of the Erkki
to Jason who was an only child, like you wish
your Christmas just lift because it was just you, and
I guess your parents were like, well, okay, I really
got one, so they he can have everything.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Right, Yeah, they have nothing, no one else to spend
their money on. But yeah no, I mean I'm not
even gonna lie. And this probably makes me sound really bad,
but like anything that I could even think of, like
they were getting, maybe they felt guilty because I wasn't
only just know, I don't know, but like I have
three cousins that are all boys, their brothers obviously, and
they will come over and tease me, oh, like what
(21:28):
did you get one new one new iPhone?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Did you get or did you get a new MacBook?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
And I'd be like.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Yeah, I like, as a matter of fact, I did.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Would you like to see it?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
But you know my parents were very they blessed me
a lot, so yeah, good.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Doesn't want to only child Gig doesn't want toys.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Oh, I'm sure she wants toys. I've done the thing though,
where I ask people like, please don't get her toys
this Christmas. And I hated doing that, like I don't
want to tell nobody how to spend their money, like
that's so weird to me. But I was like, you know,
I don't have a kitchen table because I have toys
all the ladies living room, I have a bouncy house,
Like I'm crazy. So I'm like, I really would like
to make space and like not have toys like and
(22:09):
I felt so like weird asking that, but honestly everyone
understood that was good.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
Do they respect it?
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Because I am the aunt, Like my brother's like, no
more toys and I'm like, brushut up exactly.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Who they're judging me? Yes, But everyone seemed to like
get it. I honestly want experiences.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I'm like, because we are tracked in the house right
now it is winter, I'm like, I want to be
outside doing something with her somewhere, so we'll see.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
I'm going to get her a nice trip to mine
at North Dakota uh affiliate there. She's gonna love it.
She's gonna for it. I know she's been saying mine
not one of her first words, dog and mine not.
That's yeah, No, it's it's lovely there this time of year.
It's it's incredible. I had I had a follow up question,
(22:53):
but I got too caught up thinking about negative five,
so I forgot what it was. Oh, Kiki, do you
are you fair about how much you spend on your
nephews or or is there one that sort of gets
more because you like, I mean, maybe you don't love
it more, but you know what I mean, Like, is
there is the older one. The older one probably you
(23:14):
spend more on, right, because the stuff that he wants
is more.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah, so the older one.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
My excuse with him is always like, well, you know,
we're his parents. You know, my brother died unfortunately, so
like he gets more from everybody because we're all you know,
we're his parents. But the other kids, now, like I said,
they're starting to communicate. So I cannot send one more
than I've sent the other because they're going to get
together on the phone and say, well did she send
you fifty bucks? Because she send me, you know, send
(23:38):
me my bus. So now everybody has to be equal.
Speaker 6 (23:41):
They're playing it wrong. Oh I would have not said
anything I'm.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Telling you, but yeah, no, everybody gets equal now because
I yeah, they're talking.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Stronger in numbers.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Right.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I have a friend with an eighteen year old niece
and it's a similar situation. I mean it was kind
of like raising a village sort of thing. So not
the mom but kind of the mom and she'll just
we'll be hanging out and then and the niece will
just send her a text, Hey I need fifty bucks.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Oh yeah, that's my life.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And then it's just cash app fifty bucks because you
get so easy to do. It's like, wait, wait, you
need fifty bucks? Like what? I cannot I even imagine.
I don't know what the equivalent was when I was
seventeen years old. It was probably twenty bucks. But I
can't imagine. If I texted my my aunt and goes,
I need, I need fifty bucks, you'd be like, then
go get a job. I don't know exactly. Yes, it
(24:29):
never would have happened, but I know it's coming where
it's gonna be like I need I need Starbucks.
Speaker 7 (24:33):
And that's how they say it too. They say, like,
my nephew goes, can you send me thirty bucks? I
need chick fil A? Like, no, you don't need chick
fil A. You want chick fil A, and so do
I but I'm not you never like yup, but he
gets idio, you.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Need to go make a sandwich is what you need
to do.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
So uh. Biggest stories of the day, severe winter weather
another day, another story, like this. It's unleashing travel chasts
across the US, causing widespread flight delays and road accidents.
This particular storm system is expected to strengthen rapidly into
what they're calling a bomb cyclone, which not in a
good way.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
They use.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It's funny. I thought that I'd heard that it was
your nickname at one time. Jason S.
Speaker 5 (25:17):
Actually, hey, yeah, okay, there's something common, yes, cyclone.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
So anyway, Caitlin and Jason track up the East coast today.
Air travel was hit especially hard on Monday, with O'Hare
reporting the most disruptions. Over fifteen hundred flights were delayed,
more than three hundred for cancel. Road conditions are also
deteriorating in multiple states. Police in Missouri received numerous calls
about accidents. Heavy snowslick roads. Further east, Around a quarter
(25:45):
inch of ice could glaze parts of North Carolina, West Virginia,
and Virginia in the coming hours. The TSA fee that
I was telling you about, Paulina for the real idea
that you have to have. You can no longer use
that print out that you got from the DMV eight
years ago. The TSA I DFI will go into effect
next year, Travelers without a real ID will have to
(26:07):
pay forty five dollars to go through TSA checkpoints starting
next year. Just go get one.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
Yeah, they cross the line with that. I will be
going this weekend.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
I don't believe you know, I am paid for.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
That's one way. Then you got to pay forty five
to come back.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
You have a passport, stay stronger. No, not not doing
it toxic. Nope, no money.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I guess you'd have to do this. By the way,
before you go to the airport, say that GOV and
verify your identity before the air So if you like
show up, you're gonna I mean, they already scream at you.
And I don't really blame them. I don't people who
complain about TSA screaming at you. It's like the reason
they're screaming at you is because it's like people act
these days like they've never been to the airport before.
(26:57):
It's unbelievable. It's like, why don't I always stand behind
the person who's like, Wow, I've never seen an airplane.
This is crazy. What does this place do? You know?
And then they get to the line, they got the
belt on, their shoes on, they got you know, the
liquids in the bag. They get everything they do and
everything wrong. It's like what but now now it would
be that much worse. You would you would get to
(27:18):
the line and be like, well, I don't have a
you know, Paulina, I don't have a real idea. You know, Like,
well then I don't know. Go find a computer somewhere
and you're gonna have to figure it out, right, weimo.
These are the driverless cars apparently drove right through a
police standoff and it's making news video circulating on social
media with this weimo the driverless uber. This is in LA.
(27:40):
Passengers were inside it casually turns left and right and
right into the middle of a live LA police standoff.
In fairness, how would that, weimo know that? I mean,
it is it is driving you your life is dependent
upon it. But I guess how would it know? On
the street, officers from the LA Police Department had surrounded
the suspect line face down next to a truck, guns drawn,
(28:03):
commands being shouted, and then here comes this way mod
just cruising on through. I don't know how they're gonna
fix that, but this sounds kind of dangerous. If you
watched Monday Night football, which I know Jason did. There's
a kicker, and I hope I'm saying this guy's name
right and you're gonna laugh. But it's young Hoku.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
So I just looked it up as Young Ways.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah. I was afraid of this, see thank you, because
I knew I was gonna scree It looks like young hoe.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Is what does it does? Any announcers have been having
a hard time with it too.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'd like to apologize for not knowing that, because as
soon as I said it, I'm like, I know, I'm
not right, there's no way. But then again, so this
dude last night, he's a field goal kicker. He went
to kick the field goal, but he missed the like
he hit the ground in front of the like maybe
I don't know, six inches in front of the ball.
(28:54):
I don't know how this happens exactly, but like he
didn't with I mean, he he kicked the ground in
front of him.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
It was real embarrassing.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
And they say he's one of the most like accurate
kickers in the NFL, which I you know, after seeing that,
I didn't believe.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
But young Way Man, Young Way, not what I said, Coop, Yeah,
I mean, it's very embarrassing, but like he literally he
kicked the grass in front of the ball. And then
I guess the Patriots, which is your favorite? Well, well
one of your favorite teams, Jason, isn't it. You're not
a Giants guy.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
No, I'm not. And I like the Patriots.
Speaker 5 (29:27):
No, So I didn't like them because of Tom Brady,
but now I like them because CARDI.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
B got it that I understand.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
I'm coming back around.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Yeah, And I know you're a big young way Coup guy,
so this is disappointing for you. Thank you Caitlin for
looking it up, because I honestly, I probably I don't
know who this guy is. I probably would have kept
going with that until someone was like, hey, moron, that's
not how you say it, but it's not.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Pronounced how it spelled it all, so I get why
that would happen.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
That's why I looked it up.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
I was like, oh, I also feel pretty confident it's
not what I said. It was, just who knows. Netflix
users are no longer going to be able to cast
shows from their phones to their TVs in most cases,
as the company has quietly ended support for the feature.
That means that you would have to use a Netflix
app on your TV, or rely on your remote for
(30:15):
playback controls. The change was first spotted by Android Authority
and quickly drew criticism. I guess the Netflix says no
one uses that feature. I use that feature all the time,
so I don't know, but I would assume that means
the iPad as well. So like if you're watching something
on your phone or your iPad and then you click
the little thing and make it go on your TV,
I guess they don't want you to do that anymore.
(30:37):
I've noticed that there's also a lot of the streaming
apps won't let you do it, Like if you're watching
ESPN and you want to cast it to the TV,
like at a tailgate or something. I've noticed they don't
want you to do that, or they'll take that feature away,
depending on how you're doing it. I guess it's because
they don't want you displaying the game for a bunch
of people and then they don't get paid for that.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Oh, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
You already keep charging and going up in your price.
Now you want to tell me how to use the app?
Like okay, And.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
That's what somebody said, Like, what do make the experienced
in the other words.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
You want, I can't use Netflix, how I wants to know?
Speaker 2 (31:12):
This is too much right right between this and young Way,
I mean, I'm just and and the TSA fees. It's crazy.
The Oxford University Press is crowned. This is another person,
another group telling us what the word of the year is.
It's actually two words. Rage bait is their twenty twenty
five word of the year, and not to how much
online content this year has been crafted to deliberately make
(31:33):
people angry. That sounds like our text line some days.
The term refers to post design to spark outrage so
that users click, argue, and share. Rage bait is their
word of the year. Yes, it seems to be a thing.
It's like, you know, what what can I possibly say
to It doesn't matter what the post is. What what
(31:53):
can I put in here that's going to be derogatory
or mean or angry or anything just to make people mad?
There's always one. It doesn't matter, you know, I haven't
looked at the post yesterday about little Fred, the dog
that you guys donated to and named after me, which
was for my birthday, which was extremely kind. I'm sure
someone in there is like, I don't know why it
wasn't a bird, you know, I don't know why. I
(32:17):
don't know why. Guys don't we never do spiders? You
know you hate spiders. There's always somebody who has to
get in there and say something negative. How about not?
What else do I have for you guys today? Oh,
and ring cameras finally are ruining everything. But A family
in Middleburg, Florida, slammed door Dash this week after their
(32:37):
ring camera captured a driver mishandling their orders. So this
dude had a container of boneless wings. He dropped it.
One of the wings I guess came out of the container.
What did he do? What anybody would do? Picked it up,
put it back in, licked his fingers, wiped the floor
with his foot, drove away. The mom was shaken in
(32:59):
which she saw I mean that seems dramatic, but I'm
calling it disgusting. She said. If someone can't deliver food
carefully and hygienically, maybe they shouldn't be delivering at all.
Door Dashes responded by calling the act well below the
level of service that we aim to provide, saying the
delivery violates their standards and they've started in investigation and
issued a warning to the driver. Yeah, we would never
(33:23):
You never would have known if not for the ring camera.
All the things out that you can't do because of
the ring camera. But that's pretty disgusting. And Jason was
a former is a former doordask driver. Oh yeah, and
I know. I know you would have told on yourself
because you're a rule follower, so you would have knocked
on the door and said I dropped.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
This, oh one hundred percent. And also like PSA, you're
supposed to have a bag. If your dasher does not
have your food in a bag as they're delivering it,
it's against policy. Okay, Like I always make sure i'm
my little bag and it's zipped up, and then as
I'm walking up you unzipping, You're like.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Here's your food.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yeah, I don't feel like I always get that.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You know, it's an epidemic. Right now, it does not happen.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
You're eating your button bringing me my food.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
That's actually really interesting because you're right, Caitlin, I don't.
So you're saying that the bag in the bag. I
know they seal the bags now for the most part,
but you're saying that if I get a door dash,
it needs to come out of that red thing.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Yeah, like you should be carrying your own and that
heat is supposed to keep it warm or whatever too.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
I'm gonna say, you're against policy, you're arrested.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, So they're not supposed to just hand me chicken
McNugget chicken mcnigga the pocket.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
They just baby burden to me usually really Yeah, I
opened my mouth and they throw it.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
It's kind of a cool thing for extra tips.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
You know, that's an additional feed.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I see. All right. It's National Day of Giving today,
Giving Tuesday, National Mutt Day, and National Special Education Day
today as well.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Kallen's entertainment report is on The Freash Show.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
Diddy fired off a blunt public warning ahead of today's
premiere of Sean Combe's The Reckoning, calling the Netflix docuseries
a shameful hit piece. And yes, this is the one
that is produced by Paulina's Feavorite producer Curtis Jackson aka
fifty cent So. According to a statement from Ditty's team,
the show uses what they describe as stolen footage that
(35:08):
was never authorized for release, including intimate clips and private
moments material that Diddy says he's been collecting for decades
with plans to tell his own story on his own terms.
They argue it's not just irresponsible, it's fundamentally unfair and illegal.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
They also take aim.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
At the fact that the project is being produced by
fifty who clearly has not liked Diddy for a long time.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
I mean, he makes that very clear.
Speaker 2 (35:33):
Now.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
As for Diddy, he says that he's so outspoken about
or I'm sorry, excuse me, fifty cent. He says he's
so out spoken about Ditty, and he's doing this docuseries
because he feels like if he didn't, people would think
that the entire like hip hop community was cool with.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
What happened with Ditty. I don't know if that's what
he said.
Speaker 6 (35:52):
On the other side, Netflix and the docuseries director Alexandria
Stapleton insists that they got the footage.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Legally have secured the rights.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
It aims to chronicle both Diddy's rise to fame and
the controversial allegations and criminal case that derailed him. Now,
Aubrio DA did not take the stand in his trial.
But Jason, we were wondering, remember she said she was
working on.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Something h she didn't talk about some stuff.
Speaker 6 (36:15):
She is in this She is one of the interviews
and I cannot wait to watch it tonight.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
It's going to be interesting.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
After more than a six year battle, Channing Tatum and
Jenna Dewan have finally nailed down key terms of their
divorce settlement.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
That's a long one.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Documents show that they signed off on a fifty to
fifty split of each other's pension benefits. That's nice under
a screen Actor's Guild producer's pension plan. I did not
know that existed, but only for the portion earned during
their marriage, So twenty nine to twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (36:45):
So a long one.
Speaker 6 (36:46):
But that little nugget of info comes after a really
long battle over profits from Channing's breakout hit franchise, Magic Mike.
Because what happened while they were married, You know that happened,
and that's.
Speaker 4 (36:58):
One of the things that kind of dragged out there
to war.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
As for daughter, everly, they will continue to share custody.
And lastly, really quick, it's officially the holiday season, so
you know, in this economy, I want to tell you
how much Kevin McAllister is famous. Nineteen ninety two Plaza
Hotel stay from home alone to Lost in New York
would cost if it happened in twenty twenty five. So
(37:20):
Kevin's original bill in nineteen ninety two, a fancy Plaza
Hotel suite plus room service, snacks and desserts came to
two thy, one hundred, one hundred and nine dollars, But
thanks to inflation and the sneak up luxury pricing at
these hotels, that same night in twenty twenty five would
set you back roughly eight thousand, five hundred and eleven dollars.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Good.
Speaker 6 (37:42):
Yeah, so the sweet runs like six thousand a night
versus you know, one thousand and nineteen ninety two, so
that would be very crazy. He had remember that sixteen
scoop Sunday that was what you can get.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
I saw it actually, So this week at the Plaza
Hotel on the recams, it's like three hundred and fifty
bucks or something, and it's a whole thing. They show
up and it's got the get the container for it
and it comes with all the stuff. But yeah, sixteen
scoops of ice cream and it's sauces and the whatever.
It's Yeah, that's what you get a few for three
hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Right, Okay, well that's not too bad. In the movie,
it used to be eighteen bucks. Now it would cost
you twenty four. But if you're going to the real plaza,
you're going to have to really fork up some serious dough.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
