I can say what we need is a rebrand, and

Imagine the pink smoke that would come out when I
get left.

Fred's show is on.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
We did we do that little segment right there before
or after the Pope died?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
I think maybe we were visionaries?

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Did we foreshadow so we knew we knew what was coming,
We knew a rebrand was coming.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Oh no, no, I feel good.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
I'm gonna say you killed the pope. Sounds like to
me Jason was an alter bate. Wait, what is the
pope home has to die?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
Why?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
Eighteen years of Catholic school? Okay? And it was awful.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
So that's what we say.

Do you need a rebrand? I've been saying this on
his radio. Bring me the rebrand. Jason will leave the
rebrand to lead us.

it down, didn't You were the first pope in history
to say, you know what, No, I'd rather come and
sit with a bunch of idiots and talk on the
radio each morning and jeopardize my status in heaven for.

camera system in the room.

Because no one tells me much of anything? So is
that what's happening? Yes, we're putting a new camera, new
cameras in here.

Speaker 6 (01:51):
And I guess they're all IP based instead of.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Oh, IP based. I don't I don't think. I think
I know what that means. Now, what does that mean exactly?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
You can access them on within your network stopperbly from
anywhere if you're on your VPN.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Okay, so that was my That was why we need
to talk to you, Stephanie Spielberg, because who has access
to this camera and and where? Like, can the people
in corporate Can they just tune in if they want
to and see what we're doing in here.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
But what if we what if.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
We just become really good friends with you and then
we don't send them that About that because I don't
think the suits need to see now would they be
able to hear too?

Yes, we'll send them moneium as well. If you're talking
to the microphone here.

Speaker 1 (02:39):

if it's off, then I can continue saying negative things
about them, okay, because I want to. I just want
to know who is listening when I'm saying negative things
about the suits. So, but I just want to make
sure you and I are one love, We're on the
same page, Stephanie Spielberg. Okay, good, all right, because you
know I trust Kiki. But now we got you involved,

(03:01):
and I don't know. All I know is they're putting
secret microphones in here and they listen to what we're saying.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't trust these guys. I don't trust the system.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
I love you, Stephanie Spielberg, but I don't trust the system.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
There is a landline, there's this audio links going basically, IP,
I'm nervous about it.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
It's all based on the same audio you've had at
this point. So just using the audio you're already using.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, So if they wanted to end my career, they
already could have then Oh that feel good? All right, Well,
I we'll welcome and enjoy whatever form of entertainment this
is this morning. Thank you for putting in new cameras,
which I'm sure will be some sort of additional benefits
to our audience, the thirteen people who listen to us,
And what will they be able to do watch us

(03:44):
streaming live or something? What would what is what is
the added functionality, Stephanie Spielberg.

Speaker 6 (03:49):
Yes, you can stream live.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Yeah, and you can record as well and then make
little clips and post those on social media.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Okay, we've doing that, So I don't know how we've
been doing that using Microsoft paint or something. I'm not
sure how we, you know, because we don't have any
of the licensings.

Speaker 6 (04:06):
She works with all dudes, only woman.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
We like that.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
I work with all women too, and that's how that's
how it goes around here too. I am I am
bossed around by all women all day. I might say
the Fred Hill.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
But it's not.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Well, nice to meet you. And I know you didn't
think you were going to have to do the performance
part of this. You just thought you could, you know,
mess with your little cameras and but nobody gets to
walk in the room without being uh identified. So Stephanie Spielberg,
You're welcome. You're welcome, You're welcome. I didn't know you
were coming, and you didn't know how I was coming.
So that's how that's gonna go, all right. No, I
got a threatening email this morning about about Bellahamine in

(04:47):
my junk in my junk folder this morning.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Not the junk.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
It was in the junk folder. That's this respect from
a Gmail account. It says you messed with me or
my daughter and you're dead to us. That's my baby.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Girls.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I'm Susanne U DJ DJ her mother, You messed with
me or my daughter, and you're dead to us. I
was part of I mean, I was part of the
sign off for the acquisition process for your daughter's presence here.
I didn't find her, Caitlin found her, but I did
sign off on it, so I would stand part of

(05:21):
the employment process here. So I wouldn't stand messing with her.
I would say, I am enabling her.

Speaker 3 (05:28):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
I'm assuming that had something to do with what she
said on the area yesterday.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
What was her little topic yesterday?

Speaker 7 (05:33):
She was holding grudges, but they had nothing to do
with like you doing anything.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I'd like to I like Bella to identify. I need
to understand where that's coming from.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Why am I? Why am I receiving threats from Bella's.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Mom, like the mafia contact of you directly?

Speaker 8 (05:49):
And how does she find you because she calls you
ted it?

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Well, she found my company email, my corporate email. So
I'd like to understand why am I? Why is your
mom threatening me?

Speaker 6 (06:02):
Oh no, I didn't even know she did that.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah, you mess with me or my daughter and you're
dead to us. Now, who messed with you?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Though?

Speaker 7 (06:11):
I think it's because yesterday she listened and I was
talking about how somebody called me ugly.

Speaker 6 (06:17):
That's the only did you.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
Tell her that somebody wasn't mean.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, you call my name is as she's concerned you
and your Italian mafia family.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Okay, I don't know. Well she was. She was standing
over me when I woke up this morning. It was
I woke up. I looked up. There was a woman
who looked like Bella.

Speaker 6 (06:39):
That sounds like my family. I'm so sorry.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Some guy says he's the mayor, and I'm like, get
out of my house.

Speaker 6 (06:44):
Why are you in your junk folder this morning?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I go into the junk folder all that every day
because I clear it out because I don't.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Want First of all, stuff goes into your Maybe maybe.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
Stevanie Spielberg and her wand can tell me about this,
because stuff goes in the junk email that's not supposed
to and so sometimes like this, for example, I'm really
glad I found this little nuggets.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
It's running my life. She's a wild one, but no
ting to find a new target. I don't have to
do anything to her. You know, I gave you a job.

Speaker 6 (07:14):
My mom's very protected, right that's a mother, my mom.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Okay, but being protective gets the bad people. I'm not bad.
I'm not damn.

Speaker 6 (07:24):
If you want to know the kind of lady my
mother is. She smokes a cigar every day outside.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
And writes and writes your boss and an email of
telling him if you do anything to my daughter, even
though you haven't. She that's great, I'll put you. I'll
put you out with this cigar. I'll put the cigar
out on your face.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Yeah, she would looking it while she was right.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
So your mom has an afternoon.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Cigar, afternoon and evening an email cigar.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yes, so she just is like, you know, long day
at work. What does she do right now? Okay, so long?
Did I do nothing?

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:00):
Sends emails threatening people who have nothing but your daughter's
interest in mind.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
She's my agent. Yeah, okay, sorry, she's on a line.
I might've talked to her about being my agent.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
You know you can't mix family.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
This is in a whole different level.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I mean, there's my mom who comments on things thinking
that it's going to me, but it's going to the show.
You know, there's that, but but this is a whole
different level. I mean, she went as far as to
find my actual corporate email. That's insane and send me
a note from her Gmail account.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yeah, she's a sleuth, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Oh I know where she found it? Could you ask her?
I will?

Speaker 6 (08:41):
You know, We're gonna have a talk.

Speaker 8 (08:43):
Mother.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, crazy, that's been nice working with you. I mean,
you have to turn this over to HR in case
anything happens to me. When I said my tires are slashed,
I get on this list. I didn't do anything to you, Peaky,
I need hellject.

Speaker 3 (09:01):
I'll mess with the mafia.

Speaker 8 (09:03):
I don't either, the mothers and father's Italian association.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
I want to be very clear.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I'm just I'm way too old to have been in
high school with you and have called you ugly, and
I would have never I know.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
I'm surprised she found your email. She doesn't remember your name.
She always calls you Jeff. J Yes, it's getting worse.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
So she doesn't know my name.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
But she found it for the purposes of sending me
an email telling me not.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
To mess with you.

Speaker 8 (09:29):
I know, maybe she's not fine with someone else, but
she genuinely calls you Jeff all the time.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Oh my god, what world do we live in?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Jeff?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
So she's worried about my well being?

Speaker 6 (09:37):
Is she not like Fred but she likes Jeff?

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Wow? Okay, anyway, well you're gorgeous, fella.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
You can see yourself into the other room now and
lock the door when she leaves.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
Oh wait, we can and watch on the outside. That's
what I forgot.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, okay, headlines the biggest stories of the day in
the entertainment of port back in two minutes on the
French show.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Fred's Show is Ond's biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
The people are asking for Bella's mom to come on
and explain herself. And I'm open to this. I'm open
to an apology, is what I'm open to. I'd like
an apology. Oh yet, I want to make sure that
we are very clear on who it is that you know,
maybe mom would want to go after and who they wouldn't,
because I don't I think she may have missfired on
that one. Like I don't know, I don't know. I

(10:26):
can give her some emails of people that she can
contact if she'd like to, you know, chat about what's.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Right and wrong. So yeah, I don't know. Why me though?
Did you guys get anything in your junk mail.

Speaker 8 (10:37):
Or oh yeah, I know, I'm good with miss Judice.
I don't want any smoke.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, I thought I was too, only to find out
I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I realized that she's in the Bay Area, so it's
rather early there. We don't have to wake her up.
I don't want to do that. Smoking a cigar somewhere
that's a pipe or something cool. It's a vibe really,
so you know, the end of a long day of
doing nothing, you just according to Bella, Bella said that.
That mean Bella is the one for the record, mom,

(11:10):
Mom is the Bella is the one who said you
don't do anything all day and then you smoke a
cigar at the end of the day. That's aggressive though,
like it really is, but it's kind of goals.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
It is gold.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
Why you tired?

Speaker 6 (11:21):
That's gonna be me somewhere.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
You'll see me with a cigar Palm springs. It's you
with a big stoga hanging out of your mouth.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
I found my spot when I was there on vacation.
I found my spot. It's actually you can drink wine
and have a cigar at the same time.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Wow, ran the patio booth.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Okay, all right, good alcohol is a man mouth cancer? Great?

Speaker 6 (11:38):
Yeah, same gambling.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I mean, I guess you get to a certain point in
your life where you may as well just enjoy, right.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Right, wouldn't you.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
I don't get cigars. They look cool, but they don't
do nothing to me.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Nah, well, they I think people like the taste and
the experience.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah, I feel like Tony Soprano when I smoke one.
But other than that, I'm like, what am I really doing?

Speaker 8 (11:53):
Well?

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Does it have to get you high? Seems is it okay?
If it doesn't, it is.

Speaker 6 (11:59):
But it seems pointless, Like why are we doing that?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's kind of like a relaxing activity, and I think
the nicotine does get into your system. I used to
work in a cigar store, so I guess I'm defending
the practice that two different ones high school and college.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Yeah, I'm really envious.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
What did you do there? I sold cigars O like Stockholm.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
I didn't roll them.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Fired, I didn't sit there with a straw hat. Yeah
I got fired. Remember that, I've only been fired from
one job in my whole life, and it was that one. Why, Well,
in retrospect, I probably should have gotten fired. But then again, well,
there's two sides of this. So I worked at a
cigar store in college, right, so college students, I should
have gotten fired from two jobs cause I was working

(12:41):
in radio at the same time college students. As you know,
like the semester ends on the you know, tenth of
December or something, and you don't go back until the
tenth of the anywhere. So I was unavailable to work
during the holidays, which in retail is the busiest time,
and then it's when everybody gets vacations. So I go
to the radio station, I'm like, hey, I'm out of here,
see in January, and they're like, excuse me, Like, you

(13:02):
know you work on Christmas. Bro I'm like, but I
don't because I don't live here, you know, I live
somewhere else and going home. So somehow I didn't get
fired for that, but I mean, in retrospect, they should have,
because it's like, wait, wait a minute, this is the
reason that you this reason we put up with you
so that you can be on the you know, in
the middle of the night when the middle of the
night guy wants to go and you know, celebrate Honaker
or whatever. And then the same thing with the cigar store.

(13:23):
They were like really your li but I taught they
knew that when I got the job. So I get
back from holiday break and the manager did not like me,
and he said, hey, you know, I called say hey,
when am I working?

Speaker 3 (13:35):
He was like, well, come down here. So I go
down there.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
He takes me to the back room and this is
a kind of cigar store where you could you could
smoke in the store.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
They had like a little lounge. Yeah, and all of
the all.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
The customers were like lawyers and doctors and stuff, and
they'd come at the end of the day and they'd
all sit around and like it was kind of a
I don't know, there were like some notorious people that
in town that would come smoke in this little lounge
and have their little whiskey or whatever they and so
they have to walk me through the lounge, take me
the I taped me to back, and he was like,
we don't have any need for you here anymore, like

(14:05):
you're off the schedule because we went a month without you.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
We were fine. Wow.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
And so I'm like, wow, okay, I mean here, I
am what nineteen eighteen years eighteen years old, never been
fired before.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
I'm like wow, okay.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
So I walk out, and all the regulars in the
room were like, where are you going? And I'm like, uh,
what's his name? I can't remember his name. Just fired
me and they're like what, and so I'm like okay.
So I go home and the next morning the owner
of the store calls me and says, I'm on firing you.
I never I never authorized that, and the regulars want
to know why.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
They're not happy. So you get to come back.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yes, So that that was a great working environment where
the manager manager loved me because because every basically he
had no juice on me anyway, like no juice over
me anymore. Like yeah, you know I could do I
could blow smoke in his face now because I couldn't
get fired by him.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
But imagine that.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Imagine if you fired someone as a manager, Jason, and
then a bomb goes over your head and was like,
really you fired that person?

Speaker 2 (14:59):
No on fire?

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Well then that person doesn't respect you.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Anymore, right, it seems likely, but it was still bug me.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, no, that does sound like something it would happen around. Yeah, yeah,
I did talk to the guy the other day. He's
doing very well, the guy who they forgot to fire.
If you've been listening for a while, you might remember
that story. The first time I was on the radio
during the day, I showed up. It was a Saturday,
like nine forty five. I was ten to two, first
time I'd ever been on with light shining through the windows.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
So nervous, I show up.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
And the guy who normally would have been out at
that time showed up at the same time, and he's like,
what are you doing here? And I'm like, I don't know.
They called me last night and told me to come in.
He's like, why would they do that? You know I
do this six days a week. I'm like, I don't know, man.
So he goes out in the hallway, gets on the phone.
I can see him through the glass. He's not in
his head. He's like, okay, all right, comes and he
grabs his bag. He goes they forgot to fire me,

(15:48):
and watch out. They were supposed to fire him at
five o'clock or like two o'clock whatever, got off the
air on Friday, and somehow they just they failed to
mention that to him. They forgot, and so they called,
but they remembered to tell me to come in to
cover for him. But they forgot to tell him for
the reason why.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
So that was awkward, got it? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
At least, hey, at least they did the post planning part.
That's usually the part that we forget about. We are
really good in this company at firing people, but what
we forget to do sometimes And I hear Stephanie Spielberg
just walked out of the room. She wants nothing to
do with this. She's actually she's physically hiding from me.
Now she's under the table. No, we're really good at

(16:30):
firing people. And then we remember, oh, wait, they did
something here that we needed them to do, and then
and then we have to figure that out. But yeah,
that's what you've been fired from. Anyone ever been fired? No,
never fired, none of you. No one's ever been fired
in this room. Now, wow, that's amazing. Have you ever
quit in glorious fashion? I feel like most people have

(16:54):
been fired from jobs. I've just been very lucky, especially
in this business. Not that.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
But today's a new day.

Speaker 6 (16:58):
So I I live in fear of it constantly.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
But I have not no but why you're not doing
anything to anybody?

Speaker 6 (17:05):
I don't know. I've seen it happen for much less.
I don't know. I'm just I have imposters syndrome.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
I've seen it happen for way more so Yeah, yeah,
that's true. Also, yeah, yeah, I'm trying.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
My boss to not do anything to get myself fired,
but fair I can.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I can tell you if I can give you a
few ideas things he wouldn't want to do headlines. George
went who played Norman Peterson on the beloved NBC comedy Cheers,
passed away peacefully in his sleep at his home on Tuesday.
He was seventy six years old and he grew up
in Chicago, got to start at Second City. He received
six straight Emmy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actor in
a Comedy Series for his role on Cheers, but he

(17:41):
never won. He had many other roles on stage and
screen during his long career, and starred in the short
lived George Wentz Show after Cheers ended.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I met the guy one time. He's a very nice guy.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
I am not posting the picture that I have with
him because there's a pet peeve that I have that
many of us in this room have. That. You know,
a lot of us in this industry are are fortunate
enough to have met famous people. We don't know these
people in ninety nine percent of the time, they are
not my friend. Ninety eight percent of the time, I'll
never see him again, and they don't remember me. So
for me to post a picture standing next to them

(18:13):
that one time that they were forced to take it
with me when they died, as if I somehow it
had some role in their life, would be wrong to do.
Yet everybody in this industry does it. It's like one
time I met the guy at a whiffle ball tournament
in Chicago at Wrigleyfield, and one time would be the
only time I ever saw the guy. So I don't

(18:34):
haven't There's no reason why I would make it about me.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's not well, you know how I feel about this.

Speaker 8 (18:39):
I feel like you should post a photo because when
I go, I want everybody in here to post photo.

Speaker 6 (18:44):
I know you, I know you, I love you, but
you're my sister.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
I know you, even the people.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
I've only met once. If you have a photo of
us together, post I want the timeline lit with me
after I get it out of here. I hear you,
but it's like honoring the person, like you know, man,
I got a chance to meet this guy. He was great,
was he was funny, like, it's not you know, it's
honoring him.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Can we honor that without inserting ourselves.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Like I might post a picture of you be first
of all, I'm gonna go far before you. But you know,
in the event of your untimely death, I don't need
to be included in my tribute to you. I'm not
because you're telling about me. I didn't do anything. It's
your life that we're honoring.

Speaker 8 (19:21):
Well, let me tell you, Yeah, if any of y'all
get up out of here before me, I am going
to post our pictures together. It's gonna be a whole
collage of us, all of our memories, all of our
fun times.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
And it sounds like Stephanie Spielberg the audio Lady's going
to post a bunch of audio and me saying stuff
I should never have said. Oh but I'm dead. Well
at that point, I'm dead, so go right ahead. Yeah,
it's fine. The Senate passed the No Tax on Tips Act,
which rolls off the tongue with the unanimous one hundred
to nothing vote, a surprise move that removes federal income
text on tips for service workers like waiters, bartenders, and hairdressers.

(19:54):
The bill, which was introduced by a Democratic senator of
Nevada and a republic Senator of Texas, would let workers
keep more of their tip money. It was a key
promise from President Donald Trump's twenty twenty four campaign, gaining
popularity among voters. That act allows a tax deduction of
up to twenty five thousand dollars for cash tips, but
most workers must report tips to their employers.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
The Senate passed it quickly.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
The NFL is going to the Olympics, guys, But this
doesn't sound that cool. Maybe it's flag football. NFL players
playing flag football in the Olympics, which seems kind of
like an I don't know, she's kind of like an
exhibition or something like. You got these dudes that can
like tackle each other, you know, these these strong athletic specimen,

(20:42):
and now we're like just daintily ripping flags off.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
I mean, I mean.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
NFL owners approved a proposal that clears the way for
players to be involved in the flag football tournament at
the twenty twenty eighth Summer Olympics. The owners voted to
approve the proposal at their spring meetings in Minnesota, of
all places, the twenty eight Summer Olympics will be held
from July fourteenth to July thirtieth. Under the terms of
the resolution, all players under NFL contract would be allowed

(21:07):
to participate in tryouts for flag football teams. The Olympic
rosters will be selected by each country's national Olympic committees.
Just one player per team would be allowed on each
national team. Each team's designated international player would be allowed
to play for his home country.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Okay for the gamers.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
After five years, Fortnite returns to Apple's App store. At
one point, they had said that it violated its policies
the app store. Apple had said that but introducing a
way for users to circumvent Apple's in payment app system.
I don't know they we're mad about that, but it's back.
If you're into that, and the party is over you guys,
if you want to rent an Airbnb, they're going to
make the no fun police have taken over. This summer,

(21:50):
Airbnb is turning up the heat on party prevention with
its latest anti party technology, so just in time from
Memorial Day and the fourth of July, the platform is
deploying machine learning tools to identify and block high risk
bookings that could lead to disruptive gatherings.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
The symptom.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
The system analyzes factors like trip length, booking timing, and
distance from the guest location to flag potential party plans.
Since implementing these measures in twenty twenty, Airbnb reports a
fifty percent drop in party incidents across the US. In
twenty twenty four alone, over fifty one thousand attempts to
book potentially problematic rentals during holiday weekends were blocked or redirected. So,

(22:30):
if you want an Airbnb, go there and sleep only.
Don't talk, don't listen to loud music, don't eat anything,
don't use the bathroom. Clean up, yeah, cleanup after yourself.
I would be so angry if I got an Airbnb
and like it was, I was expected to leave the
place spicking. So is that part of it? I thought
that was part of the deal. It's like I'm renting

(22:51):
your house. I might I can't trash it, but I don't.
If I'm on vacation and I'm renting your home, I
don't want to then like sweep before I go.

Speaker 6 (23:00):
I want to be housekeeping. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (23:02):
Because it's my vacation and they charge you a cleaning fee. Yeah,
you get charged a cleaning fee. And they also leave
the brooms out and you are supposed to do your
laundry and fold the clothes and put it back.

Speaker 6 (23:11):
I have never been asked to broom to sweep. I'm
gonna telling you they do it.

Speaker 7 (23:15):
I'm seeing one next week and I will just like,
out of my own kindness, like take the trash out
and take the sheets off the bed.

Speaker 8 (23:21):
But I'm not going to sweep, clean the fridge, mop
the floors, pank the house.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
And also we need technology to know if someone's partying, like,
oh they watch Oh for sure, everybody has a ring camera.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
Yeah, well that's the other thing, you know, the cameras
and who knows where all the cameras are.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's been a thing that's been a problem.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
By the way they put oh these are security cameras
to protect my investment.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
It's like, then, why is it in the toilet? He
didn't need to be there.

Speaker 6 (23:42):
Enjoy whatever you see.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
He weirdos and the Chicago Sometimes Summer reading list, Man,
I wish they had I wish they had a chat
GPT when I had to submit a summer reading list
to Mike.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Did you have to do that?

Speaker 1 (23:54):
You know you're supposed to read a bunch of books
during the summer, like, and then you're supposed to prove
it by submitting a list done the first day of school.
I had a English teacher and be like, what'd you
read this summer? And you know, there was always that
one kid that had like a binder full of books
they read, and I had to like, I think I
was the same list of books every year that I
submitted because I didn't read anything in the summer, which
surprises no one, but The sun Times says it's looking

(24:15):
into how a reading list that featured fake books made
it into print. Many are saying that it was made
by AI and it included books that don't even exist.
So it was in Sunday's newspaper and included books that
don't exist by real authors. Social media users have alleged
the list was created by AI. The newspaper said that

(24:37):
the list was licensed content that was not created or
approved by the paper's newsroom. The paper went on to
say it's unacceptable for any content it provides two its
readers to be inaccurate, and then later confirmed that it
was an AI generated list. So Paulina works at the
Suntimes Now and she typed into her friend Chad GPT.
I need a summer reading list for the people, and

(24:58):
they spit out a bunch of books that you can
even by.

Speaker 3 (25:00):
No, that don't exist at all.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Right, that would be my luck, though, I would do
that probably in school too, if I had this available.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
This is where we're headed, you guys, this is where
we're head.

Speaker 6 (25:09):
No, it's really read.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
It's Emergency Medical Services for Children Day, National Weight Staff
Day and you don't have to pay tax on tips now,

Speaker 3 (25:31):
Calin's Entertainment Report is on the Fread Show.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
Justin Bieber told his wife Haley that she would never
be on the cover of Vogue just to get even
during a fight. Justin made the very strange admission while
celebrating her newly released Summer twenty twenty five Vogue cover.
In an Instagram post yesterday, Justin wrote, Yo, this reminds
me when Haley and I got into a huge fight
I told Hales that she would never be on the

(25:56):
cover of Vogue.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Yikes, I know, so mean fans. Of course, we're in
the comments like what the hell are you doing?

Speaker 5 (26:02):
Bro?

Speaker 6 (26:02):
One person wrote, you should have got that to yourself, baby.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
Someone else simply wrote the caption is diabolical.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
By the way, Haley has been in.

Speaker 7 (26:10):
Vogue numerous times, and like I said, she is on
the cover right now for the summer edition. If you
ever said something stupid during a fight, by the way, Texas, Yeah, what's.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
The meanest thing you've ever said, Paulina during a fight
with Hobby, Because I feel like that would be you,
because you admit that you when you go lower than low?

Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yeah, Yeah, there's one that I prefer not to say.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
I don't know, you can't just do what you just did.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
Well, let's just say this, okay.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I I have I have a really good one. I
he's not going to tell everybody what it is, but
it's like good, it's.

Speaker 4 (26:41):
A true story. And you know, I told him, I said, listen.
I was like, I was so mad.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I said, my mom smoked sagress.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
When she was with me. It was the nineties, wasn't right?
I said, your mom drank with you when she was
pregnant with you. Okay, we both we're both a little different. Okay,
we both are a little different.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
Takes not even that's that's what you said it, I
really do.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
I mean, that's not I thought it was gonna be
far worse than that.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
Might use a different word, but yeah, we're both just
a little a little oral silly.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Oh all right, Yeah, your mom obviously drank with you.
That was your comeback.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
Yes, well, I was like, mom smoke with me.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
I owned it.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
She smoked her cigarettes. Wasn't great, but she admits it. Yeah,
a lot of people. Yeah, and back in the day too.
It was just so I don't know if it was
common or what people did though, Wow, his mom, Okay,
you know a couple of beers.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
What's the dumbest thing you've said?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Iified, Jason, because I think it's for you to get
that fired out.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
It would be really something.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
I don't ever say anything.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
I'm too afraid to regret at so in the same
way say anything.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
I'm the same way like I I tend not to
say things that Probably the worst thing I've said is
that I'm never coming back and then I come back,
you know what I mean, like like or that, like
I'll never talk to you again, and then I talked
to you again, so like yeah, right, you know what
I mean, like yeah, the threat of me not being
in your life anymore is somehow, for some reason, that's
really not that much as a threat.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
To be.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Right, I'm out of here, and they're like, good, go
leave the key too.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
Wait wait hold that low. Yeah, so when I leave too,
I don't.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I don't cower after I said that, Like I do leave,
I often come back.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
I hate your types like you guys actually will leave me.
I'm like half out the door and my body's halfway
still in.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Like because I'm not going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
You can't get rid of me.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Somethime you've said in a fight, Oh gosh.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
I certainly have.

Speaker 7 (28:25):
My boyfriend the other day just said I'm moving to Iowa.
I said, okay, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
I'm like, Iowa.

Speaker 7 (28:30):
Why I'm trying to think of something dumb, I said,
though I don't I try to fight fair.

Speaker 6 (28:38):
Come back to me. I'm sure I'll have somebody diabolic.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
Yeah, saying something mean.

Speaker 8 (28:47):
I just sometimes will say, like your mom should have
exercise other options, you know.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
You know, like girl, my god, your mom should have
exercised other options.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Yeah, my god, I guess it's audibly.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I guess. No, I don't know, not so bad. What
I wish you weren't here. I wish your mom and
oh my god.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
That's a big tim to my ex.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
But yeah, okay, I'm.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Such a nicely Yeah, I mean, I'll call I'll call names.
I'll be like, you're being a douche, but like, I don't,
I got I'll come, I'll.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I've definitely said things that I wish I hadn't, like
your childish you're acting like a child. I've said, I
said like mean, I've called people mean names before, but
like the in the heat of the moment, and some
of those some of those people deserved it.

Speaker 8 (29:41):
What I know, you go low right there, Sagittarius. We
go low quick, and then we're over it. Like after
we go low, we wanted to be back fin I.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Think people that fight with me would tell you that
it's annoying to fight with me for the most part,
because I get really really quiet, nice shutdown. You have
to push me so far before I really tell you
what went on in this brain and you don't want to.
Nobody wants to see that. Nobody wants to see that.
It's a dark, cavernous place, this brain of mind, and

(30:09):
very few people have ever gotten it out of me,
and they pushed hard to get there.

Speaker 8 (30:15):
Yeah, anyway, when you get there.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
I know, I know you didn't.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I've never told anyone that I wish they thought it
their parents had taken a different approach.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
Continue, Wow, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (30:30):
Moving on to Regina Ventura, So we got to talk
about something serious for a second, mother to singer Cassie,
who gave a short but powerful testimony detailing the abuse
that her daughter endured during her relationship with Diddy. Regina
also testified that in twenty eleven, she and her husband
paid the rapper twenty thousand dollars after he allegedly threatened
to release explicit videos of Cassie and harm both her

(30:52):
and rapper Kid Cutty, with whom Cassie had a brief relationship.
He apparently told Cassie this is Diddy, that you would
make her disappear for lack of a better term, and
he would be out of the country when it happens, allegedly.

Speaker 6 (31:06):
Fearing for their daughter's safety.

Speaker 7 (31:08):
Of course, they took out a home equity loan to
pay him, but the funds were randomly returned a few
days later and they never really spoke about it. She
also testified that she took photos of Cassie's injuries allegedly
at the hands of Ditty once she confided in her
mom about this abuse. Now those photos we have seen,
and they are horrendous to look at if you have
seen them. By the way, Kid Cutty is expected to

(31:29):
testify today or tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
So a lot of big names in this trial.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
And lastly, in a holiday party showdown straight out of
some sort of soap opera, Bill Belichick's ex, Linda Holiday,
confronted his twenty four year old girlfriend Jordan Hudson at
a party back in December in Nantucket.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Sounds very boogie.

Speaker 7 (31:47):
Apparently, Linda was upset that Jordan was even at the
party because her daughters were there performing, and security footage
actually shows Linda and her friends confronting Jordan on the
dance floor. Jordan said she was just there to support
her her friend. Her name was Melissa still Is Miss Massachusetts,
USA twenty twenty four, and then as they were leaving,
I guess Linda told them, if you value your current

(32:10):
title to the girl who has that title, you should
think twice about who your friends are in implying that
she had some sort of influential connections in the pageant world.

Speaker 6 (32:18):
So it was a pageant showedown. Yeah, yeah, so, I
mean this just kind of adds to the drama. It's
kind of funny to me.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
You know, it's both that they're engaged too. I read
that this morning as well. Yeah, but I've read that
a couple times in the last couple of weeks. So
they were engaged.

Speaker 7 (32:31):
She's been riding a ring and then he renamed his
boat something rings.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
But I thought that that was like super Bowl titles.
But I'm sure they'll get married.

Speaker 7 (32:38):
I'm sure that's what he wants to, right or she
wants rather, I think more than him. By the way,
if you missed any part of our show and you
want to catch up, just type the Fred Show on
demand and said this as a preset.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
I love this song on the free iHeart radio app.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
I can see it two ways, Like you're older, like
much much older. So hey, when I got twenty years
to live, I'll marry a hot young girl. But then
the next twenty years of your life going to look
like that. Get most around all what to do? Yeah,
I don't know. I'll get back to you. On that
Fred show. She did her big one with that she
did you did her a big one. That's gotta be

(33:12):
what top five all time? Taylor Swift? Yeah, yeah, I
not for like that. I know that if I if
I go out with a true like deep cut Swifty
and I say that's my favorite song, then that's probably
like red, that's like a beige flag. I would think, oh, oh,
you're one of those. I've had this happen to me before.
Or it's like, well, what was your favorite song on
whatever album? And it's like style or or shake It

(33:35):
All and Shake It Off is not my favorite song.
But no, I will not say that. But you know
I even like the little country one she did, the
first one that everyone knew about, teardrops on my guitar whatever. Well,
now now that one gets me some points with the
Swifties because it's like, okay, you go way back.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
You can appreciate the early days.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
But if I say my favorite song is Style to
like you guys who are hardcore Swifties, you might accept it.
But I've gotten some pushback. Oh you're one of those a.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
GP list and then there's like a swifty list, right,
so like for the general public, like, yeah, style.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
It should be what GP.

Speaker 1 (34:09):
I never one of my favorite artists is someone that
you guys wouldn't care about. I'm gonna say who it
is because this does not happen to me. Okay, but
he's an artist from the eighties. Uh and and I
don't know. I grew up with his music, so it's
more nostalgic. I've never met him, but he's gone through
several like transitions in the music style over the years.
A friend of mine and I are this. We grew

(34:30):
up in the same era and we like the same
songs and the same part of you know, the same
sort of album that he did. And my friend met
him and brought the album to sign and the guy
looks at it, doesn't say hello to him, nothing, looks
down at the album, goes oh, you're one of those fans,
and turned around and walked away.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
It ruined.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
It crushed me inside. It didn't happen to me, but
it hurt me so deeply.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
Yeah, never meet your idols, they.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Said, right, But see this is my thing is I
feel like this is this is how I feel when
I meet a true deep cut swifty And I think
some of the swifties like want to prove to you
that they that they know more than you do, and
they listen to all eighty seven songs on Reputation eight
or whatever it was, but but I don't know, we
need it whatever. That Taylor's Taylor's version again. She decided

(35:17):
that she doesn't like the way all the other Tailor's
versions sounds, so we got to do the whole Taylor
version again.

Speaker 3 (35:21):
Right exactly? Please, what's she gonna do next?

Speaker 1 (35:24):
Taylor Taylor brees helium balloons for the whole redo the
whole thing again, and you'd buy it, You would.

Speaker 6 (35:29):
Her purping on a track.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
I'd buy it.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
That's what I mean is if I say to you
that's my and I don't think it is. But if
I would say, you, guys, my favorite Tailor Swift song,
people would be like, oh, like I like messaging a
bottle too, like Man, which wasn't even didn't even do
that well poppy wise, it wasn't even one of her
biggest hits. I liked it, but it's poppy, so I
feel like if I say that, it's like, am I
losing credibility?

Speaker 7 (35:49):
No, I'm just happy that people are being nice to her,
Like it's been a long road for us, and I'm
just happy that you are saying you like a song
of hers.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
People should not be mean to Taylor Swift. She didn't
do anything.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
We went through a she didn't do anything.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
We have haven't wait, Yes, we certainly have.
