Speaker 2 (00:49):
Let me tell you.

Speaker 3 (00:50):

They pull out my scroll. Thanks for listening.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I appreciate that I got my you know, I write
all my stories down on a big scroll, and I
just roll them out every day, The return of Jesse Juicy,
the return of Jucy's Folie in trending today, Why where
is this man? I got a giant jar of mayonnaise.
I had the luckiest person alive. It's the return of

(01:12):
Juicy and it is the end, the second end of
something that I think many of us grew up with.
And it is extremely tragic. And I will tell you
about that. And what are you working on with the port.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
K A couple things as well. So Beyonce calls out
her mom for doing something too much. We finally have
an answer as to why Kelly Clarkson was missing on
all those different shows and BTS turned down something very
very big to be included in music wise, I'll tell
you what it was.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
I read that story about Kelly Clerkson this morning that
we're getting to and I will.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Say this much. If that's the reason, then I'm very surprised.

Speaker 5 (01:46):
I think it has to do more with the kids
kind of does because I.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Was like, wait, man, wait a minute, I thought we
were not cool. Yeah, I thought we were.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
Not Goodelson Jason's not cool either.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
He tried to dress up like a nurse to get
into that place for the longest time now, like like
you know, one of those horror movies or something.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, how dare you time for your shots? Even practicing.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
One?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
One oh three five? And this is a medium judgment zone.
I was just gonna say it's a no judgment zone.
I wouldn't say it's a no judgment zone, but doesn't
mean we won't have commentary about whatever it is. But
is there any part of your childhood, like any sort
of blankie or or bear or I don't know what
it could be, anything that you, as a grown up

(02:38):
you still have and that it's still maybe part of
the repertoire, you know, maybe maybe it's still in the bed.
Maybe you still sleep with the blanket, Maybe you still
sleep with the bear. Maybe maybe you're a dude and
you're you know me, Ma All gave you a bear
back in the day and you've kept it, and no
matter what, it has to be in the bedroom, it
has to be looking at you at all times. I

(02:58):
bring this up because there's a site ecological trend out
of China that is now appearing in TikTok videos worldwide.
Stressed adults using overside oversized pacifiers to sleep calm anxiety
and even quit smoking, so adults using pacifiers now. Advocates
believe in the nostalgic comfort, but dentists and psychologists worn

(03:20):
of the dental damage, jawstrain, and the risk of suffocation,
experts a pacifiers may provide temporary relief, but face real
risks and don't replace healthier, long term stress tools. But yes,
you go to someone's house and they have a pacifier,
and you'd be like, what is that? Like?

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Everyone to bed now, goodnight?

Speaker 1 (03:38):
And some people might, you know, they might put in
there on visit line, and some people might put on
I don't know, a face mask of some kind, or
some sort of apparatus on your hair or something, I
don't know what, headband or something.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
But no a pacifier.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
But to any of you guys, hang on to anything
from your childhood minimal judgment commentary with no judgment.

Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah right, No, I don't think. I don't believe you.
You don't believe me that no judgment.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I'm not the worst culprit at all. You're probably worse
than me anyway.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Yeah, so anyway, tell me about the blanket that you
still sleep with that.

Speaker 6 (04:13):
I know I don't have anything. I don't think I
think you're deflecting right now. Well, yeah, but no, I
don't think I have anything nothing. I mean I dated
a guy who had his baby blanket. I've told the story,
and I washed it and he got very ticked off.
He said only his mom could wash it the right way.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, it was a little baby blanket with balloons on it.
Oh yeah, it was that.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I guess it's almost less about the blanket as it
is about the commentary about this.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
There was a whole Yeah, you know, it was a
whole moment that I took that could wash it.

Speaker 5 (04:41):
It was giving, It was giving. We went back in time.
I was like, okay, yeah, can.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
You imagine, like activities are happening and then they're over
and you're like, oh here and then you no.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Not that not that, I don't know. We can't use that.
We didn't do that with that.

Speaker 5 (04:55):
But activity did happen with that in the bed. I mean,
it was there all the time.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Wow, and hey, mommy, can you come over cale and
use my blanket for something?

Speaker 5 (05:04):
It was dirty?

Speaker 3 (05:06):
And he didn't like that.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
That was I mean, I know that by there was
a blanket that I had as a child that still exists.
I mean, I know it's in the house. I don't
not my ows in my parents' house. I mean it
was this little yellow blanket and I know it still exists.
My sister had a uh she called it soggy, but
it was like, well that's because it was driving in
spit all the time. But it was yeah, but it was, uh,

(05:29):
it was like a little square blanket thing.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I don't know what it was. It was not a
blanket because it wasn't that big.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
It was like a little square kind of patch and
it had a little tag on the corner. And she'd
stick her finger through the tag and then put her
finger in her mouth, you know, like like missus. You know,
she was like eighteen nineteen when this happened.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
But he missed that. Okay, I'm talking to myself.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Anyway, she was, she was two and and it was
always wet because the spit would just you know, you guys,
just let that one just go right over anywhere. It's fine.
I thought it was hysterical, but I actually I was
just testing to see if anybody was listening to me.
But but she knew, she knew the soggy though, like
she knew the wow.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah, you know, she knew the.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Specific one because my mom had several of them, and
like if something because god, it was a total meltdown
if something happened to soggy, you know it. So there
were multiple soggies but and they were all the same color.
But she would know, like if we gave her a
new one out of the box, she'd be like, that's
not soggy. Yeah, it's like no, no, but it definitely is.
It's the same brands in the same place.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
The name, because I don't know she was chewing.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Did you not have like anything as a child that
you called something because that was the only word that
you could say. I mean, I just had a blankie,
but that that was it. So blankie's better than soggy.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Hockey is a gross word. I hate that word.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
I mean she was too I don't know when she
came up with it. Well, is sucking your thumb count?
Someone texted my forty five year old wife, Oh man,
maybe we're calling this person.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I want to talk to this I need to understand
it too long too, Yeah, here, secret Leonard, you're such
your thumb still to this day.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
I mean, are we talking like full on some big
old thumb in mouth? Fists in the air that moved
the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, shame to it. She don't care who sees it
called in the public.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
It is still to this day.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Wow. Wow, her teets messed up. She has pretty peace
because that's your little gap in there. But it's still cute.
Does she stick the thumb in the gap?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Careful?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Free? I said the.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Thumb, brother, I didn't. Okay, all right, I got it.
This is.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
I guess it comforts her so she she'll catch yourself
sleeping or just out of the blue.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
I guess it's her calmness.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
So hey, look at this guy, he's in love. I
want to know what Leonard does that. This is just
hey at the house, like his wife comes home sucking.
I want to know what she's hiding about you, Leonard.
I'm an open bo Okay, all right, man, have a
good day. I'm glad you called. All right, I mean, yeah,
you get her a pacifier?

Speaker 7 (08:14):
Though, no, no, no, no, that should have been cut
from like age two, Like every day I think about that.
I'm like, I have took my baby's pacifier soon because
I don't want her to be so relying on it,
you know, I want her to like self sooth and stuff.

Speaker 5 (08:26):
Jason, I'm sorry, but I think that was the problem.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
I think my parents took my pacifier away too early,
and then that caused me.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's that's how this all happened.

Speaker 9 (08:35):
Transfer to what I just said, too long, like still
I'm too old, right, how's old grad school age?

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I was still sucking my transfer of addiction. You're not
listening to me. No, you both spoke at.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
The same time. No, No, I'm sorry. I heard sucking
and transfer of addiction. I'm sorry. It took me completely
off course.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
It had to be in private, like you would go
in your room and shut the door and then you'd
like secret.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
It would be just like a time thing. Oh, this
corner of like the sheep.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Like I stosition, it's so gross.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I'm sorry. You thought the same thing. I looked at you.
You had the same look at you. I'm sorry, that's fine.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
I'm not sure enough for this conversation.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Guys, that's not Jason. My parents.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
My parents shook my past fire away, and that's how
this happened. We are so.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
You thought the same thing, don't you. I look at Polina,
you thought the same thing. So shut up, my god, Jason, Okay.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Some fun.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
No, there's nothing wrong with what happened. It would just
explain a lot of there was a prong. Absolutely, there's
absolutely nothing wrong with you, Jason. But but that would
be a scientific discovery if that's this all went down.

Speaker 9 (10:01):
Yeah, if you take your kids past away, they gotta
fight kids.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Gay early Friend's biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Right, I have to start with serious news. Too many days,
too many serious stories. But five soldiers are wounded yesterday
when an active duty sergeant opened fire at Fort Stewart
in Georgia. The suspect as a twenty eight year old man.
He was taken into custody after other soldiers immediately tackled
and subdued him, preventing further casualties. He's an automated logistics
sergeant with the second Armored Brigade Combat Team who joined

(10:35):
the army in January of twenty eighteen, and it is
from Jacksonville, Florida. He used his personal weapon in the shooting,
not a military weapon. All five wounded soldiers are in
stable condition and are expected to recover, so three required surgery.
Two were moved to Savannah for additional care. There was
a groundstop for United Airlines. Only yesterday, all of their
flights were grounded nationwide due to a technology problem with

(10:58):
their weight and balanced computer sits. It sounds like when
Kaylin tried to go someplace and the GPS didn't work.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, that was tough. I pulled up ways.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
I was like, I know the general direction, let's just
start going right. Sitting for three hours on the tarmac was.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Not it tent hours late, and we'll just head that way,
and like you check it out.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
Go towards south, Go south, South America.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
Go.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I saw Takekok video the other day.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
They have a they have computer software for pilots that
like does flight planning or whatever else. But then it
will also like like one of the things I have
will show you like a three D image of the
airport that you're going to and like the runway and stuff.
And so the pilots the door was open and they
were waiting to go, I guess, and the passenger was
in the front row, and the pilots had this guy's
iPhone out and they were like, you know, pinching and
up zooming in and out on the airport they were

(11:40):
going to and like looking at it from different angles.
And this person's like really they use their iPhone, like, no,
it's something different, but it looked like that. It was like,
how do we get there? I don't know, get your
phone out? Like they were using some kind of app
and they were like looking at it and they had
like their you know, finger on their chin and they
were like zooming in and out, and it.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Didn't look great.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
You have an iPad your planet plane?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
What is that has that thing on it?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
It has a chart in the all the procedures and
it has all the manuals and everything on it. Yeah, anyway,
you need the wait and balance computer system.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
It started after six pm Eastern lasted several hours. Although
the issue was fixed, over a thousand flights were delayed.
More than forty were canceled, according to Flight to Where
the airline, So the safety is their top priority. Well
that's good, and they're covering meals and hotels with the
affected customers. The FA of course, wanted to make sure
we all knew that it had nothing to do with
air traffic control this time, and they said that it
was not caused by any kind of cyber attack. Major

(12:35):
League Baseball has its first female umpire. Her name is
Jen and she will make histories the first woman to
officiate a regular season Major League Baseball game. During the
upcoming Marlins Braves series in Atlanta August ninth through the tenth,
she'll work the bases in a Saturday doubleheader and serve
as the home plate umpire on Sunday. She's forty eight
years old from New Jersey. Boy we have she likes

(12:56):
long walks on the beach. A lot about this woman.
She climbed a Triple A in two twenty three, officiated
MLB Spring training games in twenty four and twenty five,
and she's the first woman since two thousand and seven
to do so. The MLB Commissioner praised her dedication and
called her elevation a role model for women and girls
across the sport.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Remember Butch and Sonny.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Yeah, you ever know those guys, Well, Butcher's retiring and
I probably would too. Yeah, you know, these guys were
stuck astronauts. They were stuck, and not in a fun way.
They retired. He retired from the Space Agency lested five
months after his unexpectedly long space flight came to an end.
If you remember last summer, they launched them as test
pilots on Boeing's first astronaut flight, which should have been

(13:42):
a week long trip to the International Space Station, turned
into a state of more than nine months because of
the malfunctioning star liner that came back empty. They later
had to come back to Earth on SpaceX's spaceship. And
so yeah, after one week turned into nine months, and
it's like, yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Seeing me again.

and Sunny and High are running off into the sunset together.
It turns out of the you know, I think they
were both married, but now they're in love.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
No, I don't know that they're not in love. They
need to do a movie.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
How do you do that? In love?

Speaker 7 (14:12):
Spending nine months with somebody not even on Earth, Like
who knows where you are?

Speaker 1 (14:19):
In this little tin can? I feel like real food.
I feel like that's how we almost would be forced
to love each other.

Speaker 5 (14:25):
No, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I feel like in the end it would either be
extreme hate or extreme love.

Speaker 5 (14:30):
Yeah, it's not really both the same thing after all.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Uh, maybe I think maybe extreme hate and extreme love
meet in the middle somewhere. Honestly, that was That's one
of those profound things you've ever said? Wow, all within
the first ninety minutes of the show. Incredible.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Wow. Isn't that the same?

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Sometimes?

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Speaking of which, and maybe this is a blog and
I'll just talk about it now, because why would I
not have Why would I have focused speaking of profound things?
You know, your birthday was this week and I went
to them, this is not a new problem. And I
went to the store where they sell cards. This was
this in this particular case, I went to a CBS,
but they have rows of cards. When did all the
when did all the greeting cards start to suck? Like

(15:09):
every one I opened, it was like happy birthday, and
then you open and it was like made the Lord
bless you and with many more days of Prosperity'm like no,

to have some sort of like explosion like it had
like like pyrotechnics in every car.

Speaker 2 (15:55):

jumps out and I'm like right, and they're seventeen dollars.

recycled paper from Uganda, and you know.

oh my god, that's the one all for someone to
open and go thank you and then throw it away.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
I do read every word, though, and I would appreciate
whatever cards. Sometimes I find a card I like, but
it's for someone else, so I'll cross out, like for
my beautiful wife, you know.

Across you guys are funny. Some yeah those are funny.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
And just write like my friend's name because I'm like,

What Shakespeare get out of my card?

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Claire's, a mall stable that attracts preteens for its bar
and jewelry and accessories, has filed for its second bankruptcy
in less than a decade. Everybody in this room, Claire,
especially Jason. Claire's was part of your upbringing, wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (17:10):
I wanted you shot there so bad, That's right, but
I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
But pasif.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
If only your mom had left your pasifier in a little,
a normal life mom a little.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
But how many people?

Speaker 1 (17:26):
I mean, I feel like almost everyone I know got
their ears beers that Claire's, yes, like it was just
and what else?

Speaker 2 (17:32):
They had little hair things in there.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
And accessories, glitter.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
I know people who worked it, Claire and.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Oh yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
That in Spencer's remember Spencer's back in the day when
the mall was the mall. You know, it's a little
different now. I don't even know Spencer it still exists,
but it's there. It was a little ledgy Spencer's. You know,
you go like towards the back and it was like,
this is a little little spoker back there.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Right, it's like you know, a mad head back there,
and you know, like like like blowing the dark grateful
dead posters and it's like, whoa, what are you doing
back elemon? It was a whole new world in the
back of Spencers my childhood. Right, well, you go to God,
we sound I'm sorry, we sound old, but at least
at least there's a range. I think there's about ten

(18:17):
years range in this room, and at least everyone can
relate on this topic. But you go to the mall
on like Saturday, and maybe you go to a movie,
but you'd go to Spencer's. You go to Tower Records,
you go to Sam Goodie, which was you know, CD's
and tapes mostly CDs, UH or like Chatske's.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
You go to Spencer's. You'd go to UH.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
I feel like, yeah, candy store of some sort.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
I feel like I would go to the cookie place
Missus Fields, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Or that place where they had the bag and you
just fill the bag up of candy and they wait
at the end, you know whatever. They had a million
versions of those. You'd like kind of walk past Victoria's
Secret and giggle a little bit.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Oh yeah, or you'd go in and be like, I'm
gonna buy a secret thong.

Speaker 7 (18:55):
Yeah, it's that's right, that's a that's another topic to
write down.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
But I didn't realize that the thong was such a
rite of passage.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
Yes, she really is. Oh yeah, my mom didn't know.
She still don't know how thongs probably, like I was
so shy. I know, so shy.

Speaker 2 (19:09):

is not fun. It looks true.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Yeah, we have to get back to that juicy sier.

Yeah, I didn't realize that we were still going to
do that for Juicy Smola.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
No, I don't think we should, Okay, And.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Then a few lighthearded stories here A drunk woman in
California was rescued after she fell into a chimney and
got stuck. Witness I said the woman was dancing on
a roof and pulling up her shirt and pulling down
her pants and somehow then fell into a chimney. More
than a dozen firefighters stood on the roof as a
ladder was used to reach her, and then a harness
was used to lift her up. The woman was taken

(20:27):
to a hospital to get checked out. She should be fine,
police said. A half empty bottle of tequila was at
her backpack, and they're not sure how she got stuck
in the first place. I hate that when I'm dancing
around flashing people on the roof and I got stuck
in the chimney. It's the worst thing. He's the worst
thing when that happens. Man, this is terrible. Heather and
Nick got married in Las Vegas. You should have thought

(20:48):
of this, Baulina, because you could have saved a lot
of money. In front of a giant jar of Hellman's
mayonnaise named Manny Mayo. Manny Mayo, I guess is a
I don't know mascot for Helmans, and they got married
in front of it. Unilever, the owner of Hellman's brand,
paid for the event in exchange for using it to
create commercials.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
But you really could have. You could have liked.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Influenced your way through a free wedding. Yeah, I Julina
from Maggiano's Italian.

Speaker 7 (21:14):
I also try to get you a job as Elvis,
but that didn't work because I wanted you to marry us.
But they were like, well, we need an employee to
do that, and.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
I will do apply for a job. No, I offer
it to work there.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
I know I tried to fitss my way many many
things over there, but that's crazy, So I don't get it,
like just because they did a commerciat.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Right that you stood in front of Manny Mayo and
your thing is free. And a very lucky gambler hit
three hundred and eighty nine jackpots in one single day
and won one point eight million dollars at a casino
in Tampa. The Seminal Hard Rock Hotel and Casino said
that the guy won jackpots on several popular slot machines.
He won ninety nine grand on or more on five

(21:49):
different machines had one day. The most he won on
one slot machine was a one hundred and seventy thousand dollars.
The casino said it was one of the most impressive
streaks they've ever seen. Three hundred and eighty nine jackpots
in a day shenanigans. I'm not sure if I ever
want a jackput on a slot machine. I haven't want
a jackpuon on a slat machine in one day. One
is inside job.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
It definitely is.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
It's an inside job.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I think at National IPA Day and it's Purple Heart Day,
which commemorates the creation of the oldest American military decoration
for military merit. The Purple Heart honors the men and
women who are of the Military Order of the Purple Heart.
My grandfather has one, so shout out to him. Rip
My grandfather Fritz doesn't have one. John has one.

Speaker 5 (22:31):
Okay, John, I didn't know his name.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
John's a bit of a gangster. Oh yeah, he's a
fighter Ace. The name was a Fighter Race. The Navy
was shot and this is a real story. There's a
book about it. He was shot down in his plane,
parachuted down, you know, ejected down into the water, and
was rescued by a submarine.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Oh whoa yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
That's another submarine right right. And I can't even get
a text one not the one that bombed him.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
No, no, I mean no, they didn't rescue him and
then to save his life.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Sorry about that, John, I'm.

Speaker 5 (23:06):
Going to restart this whole thing. Shout out to John.
You were on demon tday.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
John, I've left the difference of Marie John's day.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Yeah, I don't. Yeah, No, I believe it was an
airplane that shot him and I don't. Yeah it was.
He's on the press show. Yeah, glad, I shout up.

Speaker 5 (23:42):
Today, It's been a silly day, silly goofy day.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
You're my favorite days and the consultants least favorite day
for sure.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Guess who doesn't care?

Speaker 5 (23:51):
Yes, guys, Okay, I thought so.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Kelly Clarkson has postponed her remaining August residency shows in
Vegas after revealing that her ex husband is battling some
sort of illness. She didn't say what, but she writes, Unfortunately,
I need to postpone the remainder of the August studio
session dates. While I normally keep my personal life private,
this past year, my children's father has been ill and
at this moment, I need to be fully present for them.

Speaker 5 (24:17):
And I think that's the key statement here.

Speaker 4 (24:19):
I think a lot of people remember how her ex
traded her and were like, wait, she's pausing to help him.
But I think it's more so that I don't know
what he's dealing with, but he cannot take care of
the children and they're probably it's to a point where
she wants to focus on just making sure they're okay.
Remember this comes also after she was missing from a
bunch of her talk show episodes with no explanation. She

(24:40):
finished by writing, I am seriously sorry to everyone who
bought tickets to the shows, and I so appreciate your grace, kindness,
and understanding. Earlier this summer, she also delayed the opening
shows due to what she said was vocal strain. Rescheduled
dates are now set for summer of next year. So
don't know what's going on there, but she finally shed
some light on that.

Speaker 5 (24:59):
Tea Knowles, the mother of Beyonce, of.

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Course, shared on Kate Hudson's Sibling Revelry podcast that her
daughter calls her out for posting too much about their
family online, which makes me laugh. Tina said that she's
the biggest cheerleader when it comes to Beyonce's career, and
I think we know that to be true, but if
she posts too much about the entire family or about her,
Beyonce will pick up the phone and call her and

(25:22):
tell her to post last, like I think we all
feel about at least one of our parents on social media.
It cracks me up, and there was I mean, I
think recently she likes something she didn't mean to like,
Like it's giving very much just adults online, and I
know we're adults, but I don't feel like one still.
Elsewhere in the podcast, she said it's really exciting for
her still to see how great Beyonce's career is going.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
And has been. She doesn't want to become.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Jaded by all of the success, so she still really
enjoys watching her and they have a great relationship.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
If you hurt those.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
Rumors that BTS recorded a Michael Jackson tribute track, they're
saying that's not true. I guess there was this rumor
that they went to Ireland and visited some studio and
they were involved in some sort of Michael Jackson project.
The estate also of Michael Jackson is saying it's not true.
They didn't authorize anything, and BTS's manager is saying instead

(26:11):
fans should look forward to their long awaited comeback set
for spring of next year, because I think they're doing
their army duties right.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
I think there are shifts they finish it.

Speaker 8 (26:22):
They're like slowly because they different times, so they're all
ending at different times. So that's why they had like
solo projects for a minute. So now as of spring
of next.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Year, they're all out and they're coming back.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Come back for my money. It gets no better than
dynamite for my money.

Speaker 5 (26:37):
Oh yeah for my dollar. Yeah, you were a big
BTS girl.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Well I continue to be. I honor them.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Do you write them? Can you?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yes? I write to them in Korean? Yeah. Here I
learned Korea.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
I'm having a hard time with Spanish, but I learned
Korean so that I could write to BTS during their
military service, so intricate to read. No, they did, and
one of them just text me about the submarine story.
They want to hear more.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Is that why you're always at home? You're writing to BTS?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Or am I at home? Maybe I'm maybe I'm visiting them?
Oh no, Army, Yeah, you don't know. A lot of
things are possible. Why do you say that while you're
always at home? I know I'm at home because I'm
an introvert and i'm anti so, so that's why i'm
at home.

Speaker 5 (27:19):
Actually, so you're writing to BTS, Well, you're always at home.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
No, it's because I'm afraid of people, that's why. Actually,
that's why that's fair.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
I get that.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
If what pacifier is, I need to say that, no,
go with the BTS.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Sorry, Pa, And I just want to said you should
get the haircut, the BTS haircut.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
So I just that was what she wanted.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Girl.

Speaker 5 (27:39):
Okay, okay, ignore.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
You're on my you're on my def side, you're on
my web side.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
It doesn't work.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
If you want to see all the shenanigans as well
as hear them, type Frenshiw Radio on YouTube and for
the parts that we are legally allowed to, we will
be live during the show.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
You have an etiquete question about weddings, you want to
do that blog? Okay, good.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I can read your mind or I can just read
off the sheet and you always all look surprised.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
You know, we have this document. Everyone writes in that.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
If you've been listening for a while, this document, everyone
shares their ideas, and then I read them every day
and we picked the ones we're gonna do. And then
every morning I'll look over and be like, you know
the thing about the wedding, and you'll go.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
Huh shit, I don't know you wrote it, don't I
don't know the story.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
You need to know the story today I remember, Okay,
well we're straight on that.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
Okay, good.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah, they talk better than they tell me.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show, like
we're running in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
We call them blogs kinky.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
Go Yes, okay, So, dear blog, I know we've been
down this road before, but I have a wedding coming
up for a friend and you know, the friend group
is tight, so everybody has gotten their invites RSVPs are
rolling the in. But there's some controversy because not everyone
on the invite list received a plus one. So I

(28:49):
got a call that said, hey, you girl, are you
going to you know, someone so On's wedding.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
I say yes.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
They said, did Big Tim get an invite too?

Speaker 6 (28:58):
And I said yes, And I'm like, hmmm, well that's
funny because my husband didn't get invited and you all
aren't even married.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
I said, oh no, hold on, right.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
Yeah, that's the only thing I didn't make the invite, right.
But I was like, hmm, that's interesting. And so it
made me think of the question, like, when you're, you know,
doing a whole wedding, should every person invite it get
a plus one option.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
I didn't realize if you were married, that you could
invite just one of the people, right, Yeah. I thought
it was just kind of assumed that if I, if
I'm married, that my wife could come with me, Like
I didn't. I guess I figured that was a given,
Like when you invited me, you know it was gonna
be like, honey, I'm going to Toledo for a wedding
this week, so I gotta go. You know, sorry, you
have a good weekend, Like whose wedding is? And so

(29:48):
I know them too, Yeah, I know you weren't invited,
Like right, yeah, I don't know. I guess the only
time that I would, I don't know what the etiquette is,
but the only time that I would, I would. It's
a little gray of a gray area for me because
I typically am not dating anyone, and even if I were,
I'm not married to them. So like I sometimes will ask,
and I know people think that's rude, but it's like,
I don't know. Am I expected to show up by myself?

(30:10):
Maybe I am, but I guess I would. And people
have said to me before, like, oh, it's rude to ask.
I'm like, but I just tell me no, like can
I bring someone or not? And if the answer is no,
then no. But I guess it's the etiquette, would say,
it's based on the way that the invitation's written, right.

Speaker 6 (30:24):
I guess so, And I just I just thought, if
you have a wedding, and every person you invite, you
just give them a plus one. Whether they take a
person or not, you just offer it because maybe they
want to bring their best you know, their bestie to
hang with them tonight or may.

Speaker 9 (30:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
Everybody wants somebody to kiss the something that a wedding.
No always, sorry, girl.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yeah, weddings are a little weird to go to by yourself,
especially if you maybe don't know the person as well,
Like if it's a family wedding or something, that's one thing,
but I don't know, And I get that it would
be rude to put someone in the spot that like, hey,
can I bring someone? But I also know about situations
where people have just brought or aresvp'd plus one and
they didn't have one and they didn't know, So I
guess I would rather just clarify, like, hey, are you

(31:04):
expecting me or expect can I bring someone? And if
you say like, oh no, I've had people say no
it was just you, And it's fine because I also
would understand somebody who's like, I don't need to pay.
I don't need some random at my wedding, you know
what I mean, Like I don't don't go on like
hinge and I wouldn't do this, but like, don't go
get a dating app, you know, don't go match with
somebody and then bring that what I got to pay
for that I don't even know them. So I get that,

(31:25):
like in the dating world that can be a little
bit weird. But I did not know that you could
invite one half of a married couple and not the.

Speaker 6 (31:31):
Other, right, and then here you go, you got your
technically single ran over here with her man, and now
everybody's looking like, well, why didn't I get an invite?

Speaker 5 (31:38):
And I'm just like, I don't know the proper way
to do this.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
I just if it was me, I think I would
just invite whoever I want to invite, and they would
get a plus one. Whatever you do with your plus
one is up to you. But you know, I don't
want to single anybody out. That's how I think that's.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
The easiest way to do this, because then you don't
have this situation where it's like, well, Kiki, his boyfriend
got invited, but my wife didn't or my husband didn't,
and I think that's more important than a boyfriend. And
then you get into all that and then you could
also make the argument, I don't care what you think.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
It's my wedding.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Well that part, but I also think if it's your wedding,
you're gonna you might alienate yourself from people by doing
it this way. True, you know what I mean, Like
your friend might be irritated with you. And I'm not
saying it's there right because again, it's your day, but like,
why would you leave my husband out of.

Speaker 6 (32:25):
This right in this particular friend, she says she did
not RSVP. She's like, I'm just not because it's only
from me. And I was like, oh, okay.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I think married or long term someone should get a
plus one. I understand if someone's single, you're not giving
them one if things are tight money or space. But
I think it shouldn't matter married or long term you've
been dating him forever.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
I think you both should have plus ones. Not going
as wild.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Right, I was like, oh boy, I'm with you though
about it, Just kind of assuming that people are going
to bring a plus one because you're going to invite
couples and you're going to invite singles, and some of
the couples won't come right because I get when you
invite people you're thinking in your head, well, three quarters
of these people are gonna RSVP, and then because you
know how many people you can, you're gonna pay for
and whatever. I guess I figure it kind of all
shakes out.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (33:13):
I was just like, I don't want to be in
the middle of this. I don't want to be I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Someone texted me.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
I was a maid of honor and I found out
three days before her wedding that my spouse was not invited.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Might of honor your spouse wasn't.

Speaker 5 (33:26):
Invited to brides or people?

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Just do this.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
I don't get it. You're already doing the wedding and
doing the whole circus. Like just pay that little hundred
dollars plate. Let's stop.

Speaker 7 (33:35):
I don't get it, Like what, why are you trying
to like be this big shot of like your husband
can't come or you're a boy or whatever.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
I give plus riot give.

Speaker 7 (33:42):
I've given a plus one when I got married, because
I was like, well, just bring whoever. Like Caylin didn't
bring a significant other. She brought a good friend and
that was okay with that.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, she told her boyfriend at the time.

Speaker 5 (33:52):
You don't get no kid exactly. She don't get to come.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
No, I asked your permission because I know obviously, like
I don't want you to have to pay for just
someone who's just a friend. But I also don't want
to bring a random if I'm single. I think that's disrespectful.
So I'd rather bring a girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
I would as a single person, even if I absolutely ask.
Just to be clear, I love it about you know,
if it's cool depending on the status. And again, you
have every right to tell me no, like you no,
like we were just planning on you and you're paying
for it.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
To your day.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
It's fine. We're getting married next year and we're finishing
up our list. But every name on it has either
the partner we know or it will say plus one.
I think it's proper etiquette, and I guess it's how
Danita Listener number one texted that it does have to
do with what the invitation says. Typically it'll say mister
and missus, or it'll say mister, or it'll say and guests.

(34:41):
But I've also had a plus one where it didn't
say that, So I don't know. And I'm not married
and never I never have a girlfriend, so I'm always
in this position, so I don't know. Jesse Lope. This
is what I've been saying. This is what I've been saying.
Waiting phone will do more.
