(00:41):
up in the city, like I'm at a point in
my life where I don't if there's any chance that
leaving the house is a dangerous activity, if there's any
chance that we might find ourselves banging on the door
of a twenty four hour duncan, it's not open to
if we're in. If we're finding ourselves in a position
where the public bathroom is going to be mandatory experience,
(01:02):
then I probably am not leaving the house. That's where
I'm at in my life. I followed that role. I'd
never be here. Fread's show is on expens Day, Good
Morning thirty. Fred Show's on Hi kayl Hi, Jason Brown, Hello, Paulina.
Kiki's in Hawaiian. She's okay. We all texted her at

same thought at the same time. I texted her, and

dming me, going is where where's Kiki ish okay? I'm like,
I don't know. I haven't watched her webcam, you know

pop star spotted on a date with a leader of
a foreign country.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Wow, okay, Waiting at the phone is new this morning?
Why does somebody get ghosted? One of the more ridiculous
ones you've ever done? Show by Shelley. Eight hundred bucks
is the prize in the showdown. We've decided that we
are not going to try and duplicate Kiki Karaoke without Kiki,
So you will be hearing at Kiki Karaoke today. It
will be happening because I mean, I could be judge
(02:34):
Fred and that's fine and that went okay, but no
one hears singing. I don't think that's a good idea.
I mean, Pauline is a recording.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Art I don't do that though. I don't do karaoke.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
No, no, it's beneath you.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Oh obviously yeah, as a recording artist, I record multi
aluminum recording artist Jim, but definitely gonna beat Pauline.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And we are doing this morning. You know how much
I love some corporate office phrases, and there's a list
this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I love my corporate office phrase. First thing I want
to album. It's supposed to be my safe place before
the office opens.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
This is your safe place.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I was gonna say it's sad, but there's no level place.
I'm not not even sure if I'm the one who
has the worst attitude anymore about it. I think I
think some other attitudes I've got a little progressively. Oh yeah,
bottom of the barrel? Right yeah? What are some of
your favorite though, of all the ones that are used
(03:34):
around here, because you are more exposed to the corporate
types than I am.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, I mean, of course, always the circle back that
upsets me, especially in an email, because don't circle back.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I will get to you when I get to you.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
My new like, I guess my newest one that upsets
me in meetings is when we'll table that, like, okay,
let's just talk about it. Now, what are we and
what does that mean? And what are we untabling it?
When are we getting to the table. Whenever we're going
to retable it? When you're going back on the table, right, yeah,
(04:07):
to think of other ones, I swear, you know, our
executive team, like the highest level of executives whatever they are,
I don't know what they're called.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That when we have a little like fancy to ops
come and comms ops, yeah, come, and then there's like
one beneath that. And then if you're it's like it's
like a secret society. If you're not. If you're if
you're beneath it, and if you're above it, you can
access the ones beneath you. But if you're beneath it,
it's like when you go to the lounge of the airport.
If you're in first class, you can go to any
part of the lounge, but if you just have the
credit card, you can't go to the first class lounge.
(04:38):
That's how this works with But I swear sometimes they
just make them up just to watch all the little
minions repeat what they already heard on the conference call.
You know what I mean, Because there are some because
I mean we're down to like abbreviating words that are
are only two syllables in some of the things, like
the press presentation that's two syllables. I know, there's a
(04:58):
pressI we do we got to include that in the
pressI you can't say. You can't say presentation. I can't
say presentations. Maybe maybe you can't presentation. You can't say
it doc.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We'll just starting as Oh, yeah, the deck call it
that what CPO stand for?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I was asking someone yesterday. We tried to google it.
Is this a chief people officer?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
YEA like it? Yeah? Oh okay, that's what that lady was, astronomer.
It's basically who went to c she was the CPO,
the chief people officer.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, Because we were saying that and then someone else
was laughing like that sounds made up.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No, it's a JHR. That's like a nicer way of
saying the person's gonna fire.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You, all right, I know, not corporate enough for that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Well. I bring this up because there's a list this
morning of phrases that lazy people use to fool their
bosses into thinking that they're working hard. Oh boy, okay,
and I would love to tell you what they are,
except my screen went blank again. Oh no, here it is, okay, No,
it's exciting. Really, you know today in radio Olympics, no
screens to the whole show by feel Okay, I'm starting
(06:03):
with you. I'm coming over there from Okay, So these
are phrases that people use it work to fool their
bosses into thinking that they're working hard. But a lot
of these actually sound like well some of the things
that you've just said, but some sound like they could
be true. I don't know, number one, I don't know
if these are in order. I've got a lot of
my plate right now. So you say that, but that
(06:24):
is in order to deflect without giving specifics. But if
I'm your boss, I probably know what's on your plate
and I get to choose. I would suppose it's your
boss whether I think it's a lot on the blade
or not a lot on the plate. Right, You can
fool me, yeah, you would think, but not all. Like
your plate has been overfloweth like you've been eating off
the same You've had so much on your plate days.
You've been eating on this off the same plate for
(06:45):
like six months.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
It is plentiful. Yeah, I'll just be like, bro, I'm
crashing out like you do. To leave me alone because
I'm crashing out.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, like I'm having I'm pulling a Britney and going
to the hospital right now, Like that's where I'm at,
and I step away from shaving my head, right, and
that's an excuse to say that I'm lazy, Like I'm
actually gonna go to it fifty seven fifty or fifty
one fifty again, I'm actually like we're doing that. I've
said that too, just circling back on that. This is
what you say. I guess if you're if you're lazy
(07:13):
and you don't really want to do anything, been meaning
to get to that suggests intent without execution, been meaning
to get to that, right, But I want to know
how many of these you can use consistently before I've
been meaning to get to firing you, you know what
I mean, Like I've been meaning to I remember what
I was going to do today, terminate you. I'm letting
(07:35):
the ideas come to me. If you can say that
I'm using these, like maybe I would survive in a
corporate environment because I just be in my office, you know,
or my cubicle. Just Hey, were you going to get
to that today? Fred? You know, I'm just letting the
ideas come to me, you know what I'm saying. I'm
just letting the ideas come to me right now. So
if you actually you're in the way of my process, Hey,
you're blocking the ideas right Like, if I weren't being
(07:58):
pestered by you, then maybe the idea would have come
to me by now. So if you could see yourself
out out, I'm creating space for what's next, you can
say this stuff, Oh my god, I'm gonna use this.
Does that mean like my next job or like implies
forward thinking but often masks inaction and indecisiveness. You know, hey,
(08:21):
hey prey, we need you to do that. You know,
I'm I'm creating space for what's next right now. So
if you just let me honestly putting on now, just
saying that, I can't believe that anybody said this is
from like a survey of like actual bosses. I guess
I'm letting myself be Oh. I mean if you responded
to someone asking you to complete a task, like we
(08:44):
had to do some kind of internal like uh, performance
analysis of ourselves, I thought it was spam. I honestly
thought it was like, because that's another thing that happens
around here. I don't know if every company does this,
but our our CTO, our chief technical officer, we'll send
like stuff out that looks like it's legitimate, but it's
(09:04):
it's ridiculous and it's not. And then they want to
see if you fall to the trap because they want
to see if you're the one who's going to expose
our network to you know, hackers or whatever. Like that
day that Jason opened the facts that someone emailed him
from you, Yes, someone fax faxed me an email or
email me. Yeah, fax me? But didn't you fax yourself
(09:25):
an email? And you still open it even though you
don't know how to use the fact. I don't even
know where a fact is. Oh, yes, can I redeem
myself real quick for that?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Because eight years later, yes, yeah, because there's finally.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Like a come around. You were letting yourself be Yeah,
I was letting the ideas come to me. But the
other day I got an email that I thought was
a little fishy, right, So I sent it to our
CTO and they were like, thank you for catching this.
This is a phishing email. We're gonna block this thunder
or whatever. So I redeem myself. I saved the whole company. Okay,
well good, that's excellent. Yes, I'm really proud of it's
(09:58):
really really good.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I'm reformed. But anyway, where was I going with this? Oh?
I don't know where I was going with this, but
I guess I thought it was BS and and I've
never been asked. I can't remember. I mean, years and
years and years ago, we had to fill out performance
reviews around here, and I remember we weren't allowed to
give ourselves perfect scores on any category. That was the rule.
It was a performance review, but you weren't allowed to
say that you were the best at anything like it.
(10:21):
It was inherently a flawed process. Like essentially, you were
supposed to give yourself four out of five on everything,
really and then so that they can tell you that
you weren't a five, but you weren't allowed to give
yourself a five. So it was, yeah, it was a
really I don't know why we did that, But my
point is I wasn't doing it because I'm like, I've
a performance review, like what?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, like what?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We're either good in the ratings and and and people
advertise and we keep our jobs, or we're not and
we don't. That's our performance review, right. And so if
I had responded to my boss writing me yesterday double down,
saying hey, can you do this? And I'm always like
the first to get this stuff done because I don't
want to hear about it. Yeah, but I thought it
was joke.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Me too, me to.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
A performance this place. I thought it was a joke,
like I really did. If I had sick of it.
If I had written him back and said I'm creating
space for what's next, I don't know how that would
have gone over. I think he would have scratched his head,
called me and been like, are you with Jason at
the fifty one fifty? Like what's going on? And he
(11:24):
shaved your head?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Do you guys feel like I feel too, like even
if it's something you think you're doing well, and like,
I'm not going to give myself a perfect score.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I gave myself all three and four as I got
you roasted for it. You did it.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You're not a three or four five And I gave.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Myself a five. If I gave myself all five, you
should have given yourself all five. Like the five was
like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I was like Acus, like, I'm not gonna right now.
You don't want to see mine.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm right now. All the people in the world, Jason,
you get fives on everything, and I can fix it.
He dragged me yesterday for it. Well, the other thing
is that people looking at these I don't They're not
in the room, they don't. They don't know. Yeah, and
I'm not the boss, so I don't want anything to
do with it. But like, I mean, who gets to
evaluate that? I don't really know anyway, So back to
(12:13):
these are things that I wish I had said to
my boss yesterday when he asked me if I filled
out my performance of you, which I did very quickly
because I gave myself all fives. I'm on it. Well,
I just don't see why not. I mean, like come
to me, like come to me and say like, okay,
well you shouldn't given yourself a five. And I don't
remember what the categories were. It was like performance, well,
we do, We've done very well. And as the team, five,
(12:37):
are you.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Using those tools provided to do your job? I think
so when I do, yeah, I mean so.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Five And when they don't, we still works somehow. So five?
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Five.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We got to be more like you, guys.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yes, join melul here. I'm setting the bar high.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay, I got to look, guys, I'm not good at
a lot of things, but I I'm getting myself five
round here. I just I just am because and you
can come. Please come to me and tell me if
I should have given myself before. I'd love to hear it,
because you know what I'm going to say to them,
I'm waiting on someone else. Apparently it's something else you do,
so I shift blame. I'm letting myself be. God, that's
(13:15):
what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So someone checking in with us after this?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Is that what you said? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
They're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And I suppose somebody could have said, hey, this is
coming down and it's real and if you could just
fill it out, yes, sure, but why it's on my
to do list? These are all things that you say
at work if you're lazy and don't actually want to
do it. That's what I should have said. Where it
is I was just about to do that. He's another
one I was.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I was.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Just getting to that thing that is four weeks late.
I wish you can do it, and I've been swamped.
I've been swamped. But that's true if you say it.
These are all the things you say. I suppose some
of these things could be real, but the ones that
really get to me are like the I'm letting myself be. Yeah,
that's new I'm creating space for what I am using.
I am saving that. Yeah, I am creating space for
(14:06):
what's next. I can't wait to say that the biggest
stories of the day. Thank you for the lovely text
this morning. Fred, you're three point twenty five stars at best. Now,
I would agree with you. But it comes back to
what we were talking about this time yesterday. Sometimes you
got to exude the thing. You got to kind of
like radiate the way that you want people to treat you. Right,
Like if I if I were to put which is
(14:27):
why you deserve all five, Jason, but you got to
put all five. Let them come to you, let him
come to you and tell you that you're.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Not Yeah, I don't know. I guess there's always like group.
I always want to say there's a room for improvement.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, I believe that too, But I'm not going to
tell them that I totally believe that. No, I'm a
highly flawed individual. I probably am three at best on
most of the scores, but I'm not going to tell
Why would I give them that. I'm not doing that? No,
And now, like you're listening to this now, so they
don't they wouldn't know, guys, biggest stories of the day.
A kiki is okay, but Japan's meteorological agency issued age
(14:59):
to tami warning on Tuesday after a massive quake hit
close to Russia's peninsula. I don't even know how to
say this. I'm not going to try and say that
it's a specific peninsula. The United States geological surveys of
the quake was magnitude eight point eight, the world's strongest
quake sensship Japan's devastating nine point zero nine point one
earthquake in twenty eleven. Tsunami waves did reach the West
(15:23):
coast Alaska and Hawaii. No damage is being reported as
of about an hour ago after these waves hit the
Hawaiian Islands. One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded
in Russia triggered these warnings last night, and Hawaii saw
four foot waves that pushed some boats onto dry land,
but no further damage. The governors stressed, however, that the
all clear has not yet been given and urged people
(15:45):
to stay out of the evacuation area for now. He
warned that waves will not hit just one beach. They're
going to wrap around the islands and at this point
the warning is now downgraded to an advisory in many locations,
I think it's like I think it's like two in
the morning there, or we would call now. She might
be awake. I know she was drinking tequila last night,
so she may kept it moving. I'm not sure, but
(16:06):
thank you to all the people who asked. Kiki was okay,
and she did make a video about it, as one
would expect. So you can go to her socials and
find that the gunman who opened fire in a Manhattan
office building, killing four was reportedly targeting the NFL headquarters
but took the wrong elevator. So people, I mean, no
one should have died, of course, but people wound up dying.
(16:28):
That had nothing to do with his angst, which of
course had nothing to do with anything. But the mayor
says that the shooter blamed the NFL for his alleged
brain injury. In a suicide note. He accused the League
of hiding the dangers of head injuries and requested that
his brain be studied. One NFL employee was injured, and
the league said that they have sense titaned security, so
(16:50):
very very scary, and unfortunately a police officer was killed
in that yesterday as well. Or two days ago. The
average US household is working over two hundred and seventy
bucks a week for groceries, according to status from the
Census Bureau. But if you want to know the most
expensive and the least expensive states for groceries, the most
expensive state for grocery is Hawaii. Three hundred and thirty
(17:13):
four dollars is the weekly average grocery bill. Then Alaska
at three twenty nine, California, Nevada, Mississippi, Washington, Florida, New Mexico, Texas,
and Louisiana. As for the least expensive states, and I'll
go from least up Wisconsin two hundred and twenty one
dollars a month or a week. Rather for groceries, I
went Nebraska, Michigan, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Indiana, Missouri, Montana,
(17:35):
and Delaware. And I have no idea what to compare
this to because there's a single guy who lives alone.
I find that when I buy groceries, I half of
them go to waste because I don't eat the quantity
that's in the thing, or you know, you buy five
bananas and I eat three or four. But I feel
like if there were people in the house, I probably
buying food all the time. They just eat whatever's they are, right.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, I have a man in the house and you
guys eat, So how.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Much you spent on groceries then for you and Gigi
and firefighter man.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Honestly maybe like two fifty a week roughly? You go weekly? Yeah,
I go weekly.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I have to, like even for
the baby and stuff and then hobby. It is nice though,
because I'll girl dinner rate up when he's at the
firehouse because I don't have to cook a full meal.
But I don't want my baby to girl to you know, dinner,
eat with me. She should get nutrition, like I should
make her a real meal. So I'm still cooking, but
I guess it's not as much when it's at the firehouse.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I want to get back to that though, And a
I've had something on my list here for a couple
of weeks. I want to get back to it in
just a minute. So there's my teas. It has to
do with with with inexpensive eating, because I was having
this conversation with a friend of mine the other night
and we were talking about it. So I'll get back
to it. After the entertainer report this is an interesting
one and I'd love to I need to understand this better.
But a new survey by the Harris Poll suggested that
(18:45):
gen Z is so gen Z is Yeah, you know,
I get this all messed up. Gen Z is defined
as what ages? What is the age range of gen Z?
That's like bella so so like twenties right now, like.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Early twenties to.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Late twenties and nine I think ninety seven rate to
twenty twelve. Yeah, if you're Karen.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
A new survey has found at what age gen Zers
say that they aim to reach financial independence? They say
thirty two. Now, this isn't what you think it is.
This isn't like I'm off my parents' dime. The survey
defined financial independence is having the financial resources to meet
your needs and pursue your goals without relying on employment revenue.
(19:27):
Oh yes, and gen Z is defined by the ages
of eighteen to twenty eight. According to this, so at
thirty two they believe that they could be essentially not
not requiring of a nine to five of a check
of like a paycheck. Oh. The survey financial independence is
(19:47):
having the financial resource to meet your needs and pursue
your goals without relying on employment, so you would have
enough money by thirty two. And this is quite the
aspirational goal. I mean, if you can achieve this, that's amazing.
But by thirty two you would have enough money that
you could go off and do other things that you
wanted to do that we are passion projects or whatever,
and you wouldn't need to rely on the income from
(20:07):
that thirty two.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
That's beautiful, it really is for them.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
According to this article though from market Watch, reaching financial
independence by age thirty two is an ambitious goal, especially
when the oldest members of gen Z are already almost there.
While the goal may be partly based on wishful thinking,
it may also be a result. This is a quote
of gen Z's disillusionment with traditional pass to financial success.
The survey found that sixty percent of gen Z members
(20:32):
say that working a full time job will not allow
them to reach their financial goals. I guess I don't
know how you're going to do it then, I mean,
I'm all for if you can achieve this, that is incredible.
If you can, at thirty two years old, have enough
money that you can venture out and do other projects
and experiment and try other things, that's amazing. I'm a
little older than that, and I'm not there. And I've
been working since I was like I've had a paying
(20:54):
job of some form since i was like fourteen years old.
So I I, yeah, I don't know. I good for you,
though I hope it happens. Let me know. And I
know you have a story about Happy Gilmore too, that's
coming up. But they did ask the world, the whole world,
who thinks this guy's funny?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes, please, who thinks Adam Sandler is funny? Because I
will say, as you will learn here in a few
minutes in the Entertainer Report, And it's not very surprising.
His fans are ravenous like they are. He has ride
or Die folks like no Adam Sandler has Rider die
folks like no other funny Happy Gilmore one was funny.
He was funny, and he is he can be funny,
(21:30):
but it is a very specific kind of humor that's
not for everybody. I mean, I did laugh at Happy Gilmore,
but I will say at one I didn't watch to.
But I will say I don't think I laughed only
because of him. There were a lot of funny parts
in that movie, right, But they asked the question how
funny do you think Adam Sandler is. The majority of people,
(21:51):
seventy one percent think that he is somewhat or very funny,
and twenty two percent cee Sandler as somewhat or very unfunny.
At about eight percent just don't sure. So most people
think he's funny, like real funny. So there are any
of those people in this room.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
No, I love him so much as a person like I.
I think he's one of the greatest people to walk
this earth. I love how he set up his life extreme.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I mean, he's kind, he doesn't care about like bouginess.
He is good to fans like I truly think. He
wears a T shirt and basketball shorts. He brings his
friends a lot for the ride. Oh yeah, he's had
a long term marriage. He's a great dad. He speaks
kindly about other people. He's a good friend. I really
love him. That being said, it's not for me, but
(22:37):
I like movies where he's in like Big Daddy or
fifty First Dates where he's like kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
A quirky guy but he's so you know, Okay, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Do you guys like I was your issue? With the guy,
I just I don't I don't know. I guess it's
not like maybe my sense, my sense of humor is
a little darker and a little dirtier than him. That's
another thing is he's clean for the most part. Like
it's pretty much down the middle, and it's very accessible. No,
I mean, very talented guy, but seventy one percent I
think that that guy's very very funny. I've seen The
(23:11):
Wedding Singer and I like that movie. Okay, but that
was a funny movie too. I mean, he's involved with
funny stuff, even if you're not a fan of his
particular delivery. So it's all good. But everything he does
like goes it's like the greatest thing.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Ever for everybody names a lot, like it's a lot
for me.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Now I've lost lot. I had it for It's National Climb,
a Mountain Day, National Whistleblower Day, National Father in Law Day,
and it's actional cheesecake Day to day, which I'm happy
to celebrate. I've been meaning to get to that, but
I'm letting the ideas come to me. Is what I'm doing.
What I'm doing right now as I played this song,
is I'm creating space for What's Next Caln's Entertainment Report.
(23:50):
He's on the Press show.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Katie Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were
spotted getting dinner at Le Violin in Montreal. Sounds Yeah,
in Montreal, in Montreal.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, they had drinks to check it out. It's great.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, you should have the drinks.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I don't think I can afford. They do have drinks. Yes,
they also have lobster.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You should get the lobster.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
What kind of yaki do they have?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
If I had it's special? It depends on proteins in.
It depends on the night you go. I mean sometimes
it's veal. Oh, you know, sometimes it's lamb. So I'm
just trying to think of it when I go to it.
What's he called again, violone Violin. I'm over there and
I'm always getting that lamb yoki?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, yum and uh.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They took a walk at Mount Royal Park beforehand, which
I know you used to walk there a lot when
you were I take.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All my Mount Royal Park in Montreal, right, sounds.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Public staff says they were friendly and respectful with no PDA,
but they did wrap things up with drinks on like
a private terrace.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yes, Justin paid for the meal. Was it a date?
It sure looked like it. Of course they're both newly single.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
She ended her engagement Orlando Bloom in June, while Justin
split from wife Sophie in twenty twenty three. While I'm
talking about her really quick, did you guys see the
video of her on stage in Mexico City where like
people were dressed up as astronauts and she brought them
on stage and she was asking them questions.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
No, is she Canadian? By the way, No, she's she's
like Adian.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
No, I know she Yeah, she's a cat.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Oh she's sitting about herself. No, I didn't see this,
but I was just thinking like, how did that all
go down? Do you think? Cause I first I thought
maybe she like is she Canadian? Because I know the
Canadians they all have like a like kindred spirits, like
they're all buddies with each other. Yeah, you know, like
Justin Trudeau has Ever Levine's number on speed Olta for sure.
Chad Kroger Yeah, like a million percent, yeah, one hundred percent.
So part of it was like, how did that happen?
(25:40):
And then do you think like Justin saw the news
like that she's single. Was like, hey, people call her
people and make this happen. Or do you think maybe
they knew each other somehow? You think he dm'd her.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
If I had to guess, because I would love to
know the answer too. It seems like she's like elevating
herself into that like billionaire circle.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So maybe they had common friends or something like that
called bezos. Maybe she called bezos.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It was like, hey, set me up with that guy
because he seems like that kind of guy, Like he's
a lot of lady friends and he wants to like
fun Sydney Sweeney's lingerie.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Line, and like, you know, I don't know very off,
Katy Perry, Katie, I don't know Kimsian, come on.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
So it's important of who you surround yourself with, who
is in your circle.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I'm trying to surround myself with.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And that's why I love you guys. I love you
guys so much.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I mean, he maybe you know, they may not love
him in Canada anymore, but I'd hang out with Josin Trudeau.
I mean you, yeah, I hang out with that guy
simply because apparently he's got just celebrities, you know, all
over the place. Rying to go out with him.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, Matthew Perry's mom used to work for his dad,
which I think is like a fun little connection. And
then of course Keith Morrison is his stepdad. Matthew Perry's
or Pete Brooke Cobin asked to remove herself from her
dad's will two years ago if you guys didn't know,
saying she didn't trust the people around him, and she
actually wanted to avoid future legal or family drama.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
You don't often hear about that happening.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
As a result, she's not going to inherit any of
the Hulkogin's estate, but she will remain a beneficiary of
a life insurance trust, so that will, you know, give
her a modest payout, which I'm sure you know she
just wants her dad back.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
She plans to use that though for her kids education.
Of course, she loves her dad.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Shared on Instagram really heartfelt tribute about her dad's passing,
describing their bond as spiritual and lifelong despite years of
estrangement and emotional distance. Very complicated situation, but she has
loved for him. And a New People interview, Heidi klum
It addressed backlash and I really don't even want to
talk about this, but I have. I had to read it,
so you guys have to hear it. Following a lingerie
(27:36):
shoot that she did with her twenty one year old
daughter Lenny. I don't know if you guys remember that
they did like a sexy photo shoot together, and she
defended it, saying it was a celebration of body positivity
and confidence between mother and daughter. Now she's explaining that,
you know, she grew up in a European environment, which
I am not European.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I know that's a thing there.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
She said, nudity was normalized and public nudity was never taboo.
But she says that she's often top at home around
her children and they're comfortable with it.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
So I just I don't know. I just think that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
She's walking around topless in front of her kids, and hey,
if that's the culture, that's the culture. But I had
to let you know because if my mom walked around topless,
I would cover her up. Leslie Happy Gilmore Too wrapped
up forty six point seven million complete viewings in its
first three days, making it Netflix's biggest US film debut
ever and Adam Sandler's most watched Netflix release to date,
(28:28):
The og Happy Gilmore from nineteen ninety six saw a
resurgence too, of course, ranking number three, which was smart
for them to have that right there globally with eleven
point four million views during the same week, so people
wanted to watch it beforehand. I didn't love it. I
loved like the nostalgia of it, but I had to
stop watching. But Shelley did love it. So this show
offers everybody all kinds of humor. Shelley is an Adam
(28:50):
Sandler guy, and I'm sure we'll talk to her about
that later.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And if you want to, are we live at all today?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
People? We're live?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
We're Is it only on me like it was yesterday?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
No, I'm oh the whole the whole live sham was
only a year.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
No, there was like a portion I think look over
Jason's computer and it was just me and I was like, oh, oh, I've.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Chosen not to pull up our own YouTube. I don't
need to see what it looks like. I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Oh here I am talking. Yeah, that's fair, that's fair.
It's your report, I know, but own it. Okay, all right,
it's my report.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
If you want to catch up on this, you can
watch on YouTube Fred Show Radio, and then you can
type the Fresh Show on demand and set us as
a preset on the free.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I heard out, so groceries are expensive. I was talking
about that, and I was having this conversation with a
friend of mine the other day, and then I saw
this article. But I guess, I guess Spaghettios. When Spaghettio's
sales spike, don't quote me on this, but when they
start to go up, it's a sign of a recession,
that a recession's coming. And then I saw this article
(29:46):
about if you were interested the and this is from
MSN dot com. The drink of the summer is what's
called a hobo Negroni or a trailer park sprits, which
apparently is a cheaper version of a negroni if you
like that. It consists a bottled beer off in a
Miller high Life, top of the splash of apparol and
maybe some lemon juice if you've got the money for
(30:07):
that organic of course, but it's a way to fancy
up your drink without spending a lot of money. I
guess that's cheaper than a negronie. Somehow, I'll just take
the beer, right I don't people love Negroni's a little
bitterer for me. I wish I liked neigrony, but it's
a little bit for me. But my friend and I
were talking about this. I don't want to call it.
I'm gonna call it discount meal. I don't want to
(30:29):
call it poor meal, because I'm not I'm not making
fun of anybody. And I'm talking about like the kind
of stuff you eat when you didn't have as much
money or don't have a lot of money, or maybe
you just like it because you like it, but it's cheap.
Like what do you find yourself eating that is not
high quality? Like it is the kind of stuff would
eat when you were in college, or that you would
eat when you were, like you know, building your career.
(30:52):
Maybe you're still eating it now, it doesn't matter, but
I eight five five five three five. Maybe you have
a lot of money and you still choose to eat this,
we'll call it. We'll call it discount meal. Like for example,
I like those cup of noodle things. They come in
this styrofoam always. I don't know how much the couple
bucks and not that expensive. You pour the hot water
on them, I dump out the little hard vegetables you do.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Those are real and organic.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
They're right on the top and you can just dump
them out. I don't.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I don't care for that. The only problem is they're
salt bombs, which I love. But the one cup is
usually not enough.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Like I really am a two I would be a
two cup guy, but I feel a little crazy eating
two of them at the same time. You love it,
but not real expensive but delicious.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
A little motochon actually okay, but try this at home
today or whenever you eat it?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Can you put sauce on top of it?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
It's so good.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
They have a Sacha brand one that I started buying,
like it's already in the flavors.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Really so good, you know, In like Japan, I've seen
they put a piece of velveta cheese on top of
them and you're supposed to pu cheese and it to
make it a little like thicker.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
And guy, I put an egg in there, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Oh you're fancy. Wow, Yeah, this is what do you do?
You put the egg in, then you microwave it.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
No, like I'll if I do it, if I'll do it? Like, yeah,
you mix it up. You beat it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Sometimes I'll do it on the stove too, instead of
in the microwave. I'm trying to avoid microwave us.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's fantoh really.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
And they switched from styrofoam to cardboard, which I'm appreciative of.
Oh that's nice because styrofoam heating in the micro is
very bad.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I guess that's how old mine are. I have the
old school ones. I think mine are still styrofox right
right exactly. I probably had them for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You need to know.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
People were saying ramen, but what is it for you, Jason?
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I still do like the like the tortilla chips on
the plate with some sprinkled like Chihuahua cheese or whatever,
sprinkle cheese. I haven't throw that in the microwave. And
it's kind of like kind of nachos. Yeah, okay, that
was a staph I know, like my mom used to
make it all the time growing up, and now it
just like tastes like my childhood.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Someone said toast with syrup, so it's like kind of
like French toast, but not okay, all right, I don't
know how.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
To make French toast, so that would be the closest
I could probably get. My grandfather is your text.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
My grandfather in law is very wealthy and lives off
of velveta casserole. Oh okay, no, trust me this. Some
of this stuff is probably delicious. And I'm not making
fun of anybody, Like, if this is what you gotta eat,
then that's what you gotta eat.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
It's so good.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But I think some of this stuff, you know, people
might still choose to eat buttered noodles. I steal will
rock buttered noodles, the cheap egg noodles that come in
the big plastic bag. Dump some of those in there,
and they made a little salt on their little.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Pepper save some pasta.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Water it up, Yeah, because the stars in the pasta water. Wow.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Eggs and eggs and hot dogs. Have you guys ever
done that?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Eggs eggs in the hot dogs?
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yeah, you just chop up the hot dog, throw it
in the pan and.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
The eggs like scrambled eggs. Ok. Yeah, I could you
could ha Nicole, good morning, How are you cool? We're
on the verge of a recession. I've been hearing that
for years, Like we are, let's say we are we
need to Hey, we need the good stuff that's not
going to cost us a lot of money. What what
do you recommend?
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Yeah, So in my house, my husband absolutely hates cottage cheese.
But we call it poor man's mac and cheese. So
it's just a box of noodles, an onion and a
container of cottage cheese. And it costs like four dollars,
but we call it poverty food because he hates it
so much.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
So you mix the cottage cheese into doesn't think it
kind of lumpy and like kind of texturally weird.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
It kind of melts a little bit when the noodles
are hot, so it like gives it almost like a
like a stringy mac and cheese type of like texture.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
But it's good.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
We just add seasoned salt and that's it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Interesting cottagecheese. Like, my objection to cottage cheese is the texture.
Is it just it? I mean, it's it's inherently lumpy,
like it's I don't think it should be warm. Yeah, okay,
well so there, thank you, Nicole, I have a good day.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
And by the way, this is not a health segment.
I'm not I'm not suggesting that anybody do any of
this like for you know, that's good for you. I'm
just talking about what's good. Eggs and rice, Okay, bean tacos,
rice tacos, anything available to put on a tortilla. Yeah,
like if you've got a tortilla, or you've got like
an English muffin, which is kind of boogy. I guess
I don't know if I don't know if it's I
don't know the cost analysis of an English muffin versus
(35:05):
like a loaf of bread. I don't know how much
that cost. But you make like a little pizza out
of the like if you got tomato sauce and you
make a little little English muffin pizza. You ever done that?
I don't think that's very expensive. Maybe I'm a Debbie. Hi, Debbie,
So this is your discount meal that you still like? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Yes, Well my mom started me and my brother on
it because she grew up with eleven brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Oh, her mom used to make cream which is just
the albal macaroni creams and bacon, and it was the
Albo macaroni with a cannon, tomato soup and bacon bits.
And it was filling it for all of it kids
for cheese, and.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So I grew up eating it and I love it.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
It's my comfort food and my cheap eating.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Interesting. That doesn't sound terrible.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
No, it's really good.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Okay, all right, I may have to try that. Thank you, Debbie,
A good day. Blend the cottage cheese before you put
it in stuff, Okay, a lot of people in it
and more texts Mayo and salt sandwiches, Mayo and salt,
like I.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Do tomato sandwiches all the time. Does that? Yeah, that's
her hood meal. Yeah, she loves tomatoes and her sandwiches. Like, oh,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
I was gonna say, just put any potatoes because that's
so cheap. I feel in Poland at least they were.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Have you ever had I don't think this is cheap.
But speaking of which, have you ever had a cream,
cheese and green olives sandwich. There's a place in Scottsdale,
Arizona that makes them, called the Sugar Bowl, and we
grew up with them. I don't know if it's cheap.
I don't know how much green olives cost, but it's
it's like toast, like white, like wonderbread kind of thing
toasted and then cream, a layer of cream cheese and
(36:48):
then green olives that are cut like thin, you know,
I don't know, like sliced, and they put on the sandwich.
That's it. That's the whole sandwich. It's delicious.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
And maybe it's just because it tastes like my childhood,
which a lot of things there are, you know, when
you're a kid, certain things that weren't necessarily healthy or
all that expensive that you remember eating when you were
growing up, and they still taste amazing. Alice, Alice, I
hear that, Alice, is there, Alice, I like ramen, and
(37:17):
I take out the packet and add the hot sauce.
Thank you, thank you, Alice. That was wonderful. That was
really good. I don't know why you call it and
not talk like you call it and you don't talk doggie.
It's very upsetting to me. Toast with peanut butter and
brown sugar. Oh yeah, I would eat that tortilla omelets, okay,
(37:41):
I don't know. Turkey meat is super cheap, cooked turkey
meat with some cream of mushroom soup and then un
buttered toast. Also, you know what's good is like that stofers.
It's like sliced beef. Cream beef. It's like very thin
slices of beef that's in some kind of a cream
sauce than a red box. You put that on top
(38:01):
of toast. I also, I don't know how much that costs.
Toasted bread, turkey and cream cheese, a Royst cone, harmone
Mexican rice with ham My.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Mom does spam?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I've never had spam.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, we talk about that sometimes and not enough, but
we don't talk about spam. It's good. I don't eat
it often, but it's good.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Why are we not talking about spam on this show?
More spam? Really?
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Like you could have it in your like basement forever,
keep it stored there, right yea, No.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Like you needed some of that with during the tsunami.
The potential she probably is it could be eighty years
old if you'll eat it, And they do eat it
there regularly in Hawaii, like it's a delicacy there. Miracle
whip sandwich. Oh boy, I don't know about that. Baked
beans on toast. Yeah, dried beef which that's what it's called,
cream dried beef, which sounds kind of gross, but it's good.
(38:55):

chance that we might find ourselves banging on the door
of a twenty four hour duncan, it's not open to
if we're in. If we're finding ourselves in a position

(02:34):
Fred and that's fine and that went okay, but no

I mean, Pauline is a recording.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Art I don't do that though. I don't do karaoke.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
No, no, it's beneath you.

Oh obviously yeah, as a recording artist, I record multi
aluminum recording artist Jim, but definitely gonna beat Pauline.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
And we are doing this morning. You know how much
I love some corporate office phrases, and there's a list
this morning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I love my corporate office phrase. First thing I want
to album. It's supposed to be my safe place before
the office opens.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
This is your safe place.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I was gonna say it's sad, but there's no level place.
I'm not not even sure if I'm the one who
has the worst attitude anymore about it. I think I
think some other attitudes I've got a little progressively. Oh yeah,
bottom of the barrel? Right yeah? What are some of
your favorite though, of all the ones that are used
(03:34):
around here, because you are more exposed to the corporate
types than I am.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Yeah, I mean, of course, always the circle back that
upsets me, especially in an email, because don't circle back.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I will get to you when I get to you.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
My new like, I guess my newest one that upsets
me in meetings is when we'll table that, like, okay,
let's just talk about it. Now, what are we and
what does that mean? And what are we untabling it?
When are we getting to the table. Whenever we're going
to retable it? When you're going back on the table, right, yeah,
(04:07):
to think of other ones, I swear, you know, our
executive team, like the highest level of executives whatever they are,
I don't know what they're called.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
That when we have a little like fancy to ops
come and comms ops, yeah, come, and then there's like
one beneath that. And then if you're it's like it's
like a secret society. If you're not. If you're if
you're beneath it, and if you're above it, you can
access the ones beneath you. But if you're beneath it,
it's like when you go to the lounge of the airport.
If you're in first class, you can go to any
part of the lounge, but if you just have the
credit card, you can't go to the first class lounge.
(04:38):
That's how this works with But I swear sometimes they
just make them up just to watch all the little
minions repeat what they already heard on the conference call.
You know what I mean, Because there are some because
I mean we're down to like abbreviating words that are
are only two syllables in some of the things, like
the press presentation that's two syllables. I know, there's a
(04:58):
pressI we do we got to include that in the
pressI you can't say. You can't say presentation. I can't
say presentations. Maybe maybe you can't presentation. You can't say
it doc.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
We'll just starting as Oh, yeah, the deck call it
that what CPO stand for?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I was asking someone yesterday. We tried to google it.
Is this a chief people officer?
Speaker 1 (05:20):
YEA like it? Yeah? Oh okay, that's what that lady was, astronomer.
It's basically who went to c she was the CPO,
the chief people officer.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, Because we were saying that and then someone else
was laughing like that sounds made up.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
No, it's a JHR. That's like a nicer way of
saying the person's gonna fire.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
You, all right, I know, not corporate enough for that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Well. I bring this up because there's a list this
morning of phrases that lazy people use to fool their
bosses into thinking that they're working hard. Oh boy, okay,
and I would love to tell you what they are,
except my screen went blank again. Oh no, here it is, okay, No,
it's exciting. Really, you know today in radio Olympics, no
screens to the whole show by feel Okay, I'm starting
(06:03):
with you. I'm coming over there from Okay, So these
are phrases that people use it work to fool their
bosses into thinking that they're working hard. But a lot
of these actually sound like well some of the things
that you've just said, but some sound like they could
be true. I don't know, number one, I don't know
if these are in order. I've got a lot of
my plate right now. So you say that, but that
(06:24):
is in order to deflect without giving specifics. But if
I'm your boss, I probably know what's on your plate
and I get to choose. I would suppose it's your
boss whether I think it's a lot on the blade
or not a lot on the plate. Right, You can
fool me, yeah, you would think, but not all. Like
your plate has been overfloweth like you've been eating off
the same You've had so much on your plate days.
You've been eating on this off the same plate for
(06:45):
like six months.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
It is plentiful. Yeah, I'll just be like, bro, I'm
crashing out like you do. To leave me alone because
I'm crashing out.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, like I'm having I'm pulling a Britney and going
to the hospital right now, Like that's where I'm at,
and I step away from shaving my head, right, and
that's an excuse to say that I'm lazy, Like I'm
actually gonna go to it fifty seven fifty or fifty
one fifty again, I'm actually like we're doing that. I've
said that too, just circling back on that. This is
what you say. I guess if you're if you're lazy
(07:13):
and you don't really want to do anything, been meaning
to get to that suggests intent without execution, been meaning
to get to that, right, But I want to know
how many of these you can use consistently before I've
been meaning to get to firing you, you know what
I mean, Like I've been meaning to I remember what
I was going to do today, terminate you. I'm letting
(07:35):
the ideas come to me. If you can say that
I'm using these, like maybe I would survive in a
corporate environment because I just be in my office, you know,
or my cubicle. Just Hey, were you going to get
to that today? Fred? You know, I'm just letting the
ideas come to me, you know what I'm saying. I'm
just letting the ideas come to me right now. So
if you actually you're in the way of my process, Hey,
you're blocking the ideas right Like, if I weren't being
(07:58):
pestered by you, then maybe the idea would have come
to me by now. So if you could see yourself
out out, I'm creating space for what's next, you can
say this stuff, Oh my god, I'm gonna use this.
Does that mean like my next job or like implies
forward thinking but often masks inaction and indecisiveness. You know, hey,
(08:21):
hey prey, we need you to do that. You know,
I'm I'm creating space for what's next right now. So
if you just let me honestly putting on now, just
saying that, I can't believe that anybody said this is
from like a survey of like actual bosses. I guess
I'm letting myself be Oh. I mean if you responded
to someone asking you to complete a task, like we
(08:44):
had to do some kind of internal like uh, performance
analysis of ourselves, I thought it was spam. I honestly
thought it was like, because that's another thing that happens
around here. I don't know if every company does this,
but our our CTO, our chief technical officer, we'll send
like stuff out that looks like it's legitimate, but it's
(09:04):
it's ridiculous and it's not. And then they want to
see if you fall to the trap because they want
to see if you're the one who's going to expose
our network to you know, hackers or whatever. Like that
day that Jason opened the facts that someone emailed him
from you, Yes, someone fax faxed me an email or
email me. Yeah, fax me? But didn't you fax yourself
(09:25):
an email? And you still open it even though you
don't know how to use the fact. I don't even
know where a fact is. Oh, yes, can I redeem
myself real quick for that?
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Because eight years later, yes, yeah, because there's finally.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
Like a come around. You were letting yourself be Yeah,
I was letting the ideas come to me. But the
other day I got an email that I thought was
a little fishy, right, So I sent it to our
CTO and they were like, thank you for catching this.
This is a phishing email. We're gonna block this thunder
or whatever. So I redeem myself. I saved the whole company. Okay,
well good, that's excellent. Yes, I'm really proud of it's
(09:58):
really really good.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I'm reformed. But anyway, where was I going with this? Oh?
I don't know where I was going with this, but
I guess I thought it was BS and and I've
never been asked. I can't remember. I mean, years and
years and years ago, we had to fill out performance
reviews around here, and I remember we weren't allowed to
give ourselves perfect scores on any category. That was the rule.
It was a performance review, but you weren't allowed to
say that you were the best at anything like it.
(10:21):
It was inherently a flawed process. Like essentially, you were
supposed to give yourself four out of five on everything,
really and then so that they can tell you that
you weren't a five, but you weren't allowed to give
yourself a five. So it was, yeah, it was a
really I don't know why we did that, But my
point is I wasn't doing it because I'm like, I've
a performance review, like what?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, like what?
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We're either good in the ratings and and and people
advertise and we keep our jobs, or we're not and
we don't. That's our performance review, right. And so if
I had responded to my boss writing me yesterday double down,
saying hey, can you do this? And I'm always like
the first to get this stuff done because I don't
want to hear about it. Yeah, but I thought it
was joke.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
Me too, me to.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
A performance this place. I thought it was a joke,
like I really did. If I had sick of it.
If I had written him back and said I'm creating
space for what's next, I don't know how that would
have gone over. I think he would have scratched his head,
called me and been like, are you with Jason at
the fifty one fifty? Like what's going on? And he
(11:24):
shaved your head?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Do you guys feel like I feel too, like even
if it's something you think you're doing well, and like,
I'm not going to give myself a perfect score.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I gave myself all three and four as I got
you roasted for it. You did it.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
You're not a three or four five And I gave.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Myself a five. If I gave myself all five, you
should have given yourself all five. Like the five was
like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I was like Acus, like, I'm not gonna right now.
You don't want to see mine.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I'm right now. All the people in the world, Jason,
you get fives on everything, and I can fix it.
He dragged me yesterday for it. Well, the other thing
is that people looking at these I don't They're not
in the room, they don't. They don't know. Yeah, and
I'm not the boss, so I don't want anything to
do with it. But like, I mean, who gets to
evaluate that? I don't really know anyway, So back to
(12:13):
these are things that I wish I had said to
my boss yesterday when he asked me if I filled
out my performance of you, which I did very quickly
because I gave myself all fives. I'm on it. Well,
I just don't see why not. I mean, like come
to me, like come to me and say like, okay,
well you shouldn't given yourself a five. And I don't
remember what the categories were. It was like performance, well,
we do, We've done very well. And as the team, five,
(12:37):
are you.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Using those tools provided to do your job? I think
so when I do, yeah, I mean so.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Five And when they don't, we still works somehow. So five?
Speaker 6 (12:47):
Thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Five.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We got to be more like you, guys.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yes, join melul here. I'm setting the bar high.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay, I got to look, guys, I'm not good at
a lot of things, but I I'm getting myself five
round here. I just I just am because and you
can come. Please come to me and tell me if
I should have given myself before. I'd love to hear it,
because you know what I'm going to say to them,
I'm waiting on someone else. Apparently it's something else you do,
so I shift blame. I'm letting myself be. God, that's
(13:15):
what I'm doing.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
So someone checking in with us after this?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Is that what you said? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
They're supposed to.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And I suppose somebody could have said, hey, this is
coming down and it's real and if you could just
fill it out, yes, sure, but why it's on my
to do list? These are all things that you say
at work if you're lazy and don't actually want to
do it. That's what I should have said. Where it
is I was just about to do that. He's another
one I was.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I was.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Just getting to that thing that is four weeks late.
I wish you can do it, and I've been swamped.
I've been swamped. But that's true if you say it.
These are all the things you say. I suppose some
of these things could be real, but the ones that
really get to me are like the I'm letting myself be. Yeah,
that's new I'm creating space for what I am using.
I am saving that. Yeah, I am creating space for
(14:06):
what's next. I can't wait to say that the biggest
stories of the day. Thank you for the lovely text
this morning. Fred, you're three point twenty five stars at best. Now,
I would agree with you. But it comes back to
what we were talking about this time yesterday. Sometimes you
got to exude the thing. You got to kind of
like radiate the way that you want people to treat you. Right,
Like if I if I were to put which is
(14:27):
why you deserve all five, Jason, but you got to
put all five. Let them come to you, let him
come to you and tell you that you're.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Not Yeah, I don't know. I guess there's always like group.
I always want to say there's a room for improvement.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Well, I believe that too, But I'm not going to
tell them that I totally believe that. No, I'm a
highly flawed individual. I probably am three at best on
most of the scores, but I'm not going to tell
Why would I give them that. I'm not doing that? No,
And now, like you're listening to this now, so they
don't they wouldn't know, guys, biggest stories of the day.
A kiki is okay, but Japan's meteorological agency issued age
(14:59):
to tami warning on Tuesday after a massive quake hit
close to Russia's peninsula. I don't even know how to
say this. I'm not going to try and say that
it's a specific peninsula. The United States geological surveys of
the quake was magnitude eight point eight, the world's strongest
quake sensship Japan's devastating nine point zero nine point one
earthquake in twenty eleven. Tsunami waves did reach the West
(15:23):
coast Alaska and Hawaii. No damage is being reported as
of about an hour ago after these waves hit the
Hawaiian Islands. One of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded
in Russia triggered these warnings last night, and Hawaii saw
four foot waves that pushed some boats onto dry land,
but no further damage. The governors stressed, however, that the
all clear has not yet been given and urged people
(15:45):
to stay out of the evacuation area for now. He
warned that waves will not hit just one beach. They're
going to wrap around the islands and at this point
the warning is now downgraded to an advisory in many locations,
I think it's like I think it's like two in
the morning there, or we would call now. She might
be awake. I know she was drinking tequila last night,
so she may kept it moving. I'm not sure, but
(16:06):
thank you to all the people who asked. Kiki was okay,
and she did make a video about it, as one
would expect. So you can go to her socials and
find that the gunman who opened fire in a Manhattan
office building, killing four was reportedly targeting the NFL headquarters
but took the wrong elevator. So people, I mean, no
one should have died, of course, but people wound up dying.
(16:28):
That had nothing to do with his angst, which of
course had nothing to do with anything. But the mayor
says that the shooter blamed the NFL for his alleged
brain injury. In a suicide note. He accused the League
of hiding the dangers of head injuries and requested that
his brain be studied. One NFL employee was injured, and
the league said that they have sense titaned security, so
(16:50):
very very scary, and unfortunately a police officer was killed
in that yesterday as well. Or two days ago. The
average US household is working over two hundred and seventy
bucks a week for groceries, according to status from the
Census Bureau. But if you want to know the most
expensive and the least expensive states for groceries, the most
expensive state for grocery is Hawaii. Three hundred and thirty
(17:13):
four dollars is the weekly average grocery bill. Then Alaska
at three twenty nine, California, Nevada, Mississippi, Washington, Florida, New Mexico, Texas,
and Louisiana. As for the least expensive states, and I'll
go from least up Wisconsin two hundred and twenty one
dollars a month or a week. Rather for groceries, I
went Nebraska, Michigan, West Virginia, New Hampshire, Indiana, Missouri, Montana,
(17:35):
and Delaware. And I have no idea what to compare
this to because there's a single guy who lives alone.
I find that when I buy groceries, I half of
them go to waste because I don't eat the quantity
that's in the thing, or you know, you buy five
bananas and I eat three or four. But I feel
like if there were people in the house, I probably
buying food all the time. They just eat whatever's they are, right.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Yeah, I have a man in the house and you
guys eat, So how.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Much you spent on groceries then for you and Gigi
and firefighter man.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
Honestly maybe like two fifty a week roughly? You go weekly? Yeah,
I go weekly.
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I have to, like even for
the baby and stuff and then hobby. It is nice though,
because I'll girl dinner rate up when he's at the
firehouse because I don't have to cook a full meal.
But I don't want my baby to girl to you know, dinner,
eat with me. She should get nutrition, like I should
make her a real meal. So I'm still cooking, but
I guess it's not as much when it's at the firehouse.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I want to get back to that though, And a
I've had something on my list here for a couple
of weeks. I want to get back to it in
just a minute. So there's my teas. It has to
do with with with inexpensive eating, because I was having
this conversation with a friend of mine the other night
and we were talking about it. So I'll get back
to it. After the entertainer report this is an interesting
one and I'd love to I need to understand this better.
But a new survey by the Harris Poll suggested that
(18:45):
gen Z is so gen Z is Yeah, you know,
I get this all messed up. Gen Z is defined
as what ages? What is the age range of gen Z?
That's like bella so so like twenties right now, like.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Early twenties to.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
Late twenties and nine I think ninety seven rate to
twenty twelve. Yeah, if you're Karen.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
A new survey has found at what age gen Zers
say that they aim to reach financial independence? They say
thirty two. Now, this isn't what you think it is.
This isn't like I'm off my parents' dime. The survey
defined financial independence is having the financial resources to meet
your needs and pursue your goals without relying on employment revenue.
(19:27):
Oh yes, and gen Z is defined by the ages
of eighteen to twenty eight. According to this, so at
thirty two they believe that they could be essentially not
not requiring of a nine to five of a check
of like a paycheck. Oh. The survey financial independence is
(19:47):
having the financial resource to meet your needs and pursue
your goals without relying on employment, so you would have
enough money by thirty two. And this is quite the
aspirational goal. I mean, if you can achieve this, that's amazing.
But by thirty two you would have enough money that
you could go off and do other things that you
wanted to do that we are passion projects or whatever,
and you wouldn't need to rely on the income from
(20:07):
that thirty two.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
That's beautiful, it really is for them.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
According to this article though from market Watch, reaching financial
independence by age thirty two is an ambitious goal, especially
when the oldest members of gen Z are already almost there.
While the goal may be partly based on wishful thinking,
it may also be a result. This is a quote
of gen Z's disillusionment with traditional pass to financial success.
The survey found that sixty percent of gen Z members
(20:32):
say that working a full time job will not allow
them to reach their financial goals. I guess I don't
know how you're going to do it then, I mean,
I'm all for if you can achieve this, that is incredible.
If you can, at thirty two years old, have enough
money that you can venture out and do other projects
and experiment and try other things, that's amazing. I'm a
little older than that, and I'm not there. And I've
been working since I was like I've had a paying
(20:54):
job of some form since i was like fourteen years old.
So I I, yeah, I don't know. I good for you,
though I hope it happens. Let me know. And I
know you have a story about Happy Gilmore too, that's
coming up. But they did ask the world, the whole world,
who thinks this guy's funny?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes, please, who thinks Adam Sandler is funny? Because I
will say, as you will learn here in a few
minutes in the Entertainer Report, And it's not very surprising.
His fans are ravenous like they are. He has ride
or Die folks like no Adam Sandler has Rider die
folks like no other funny Happy Gilmore one was funny.
He was funny, and he is he can be funny,
(21:30):
but it is a very specific kind of humor that's
not for everybody. I mean, I did laugh at Happy Gilmore,
but I will say at one I didn't watch to.
But I will say I don't think I laughed only
because of him. There were a lot of funny parts
in that movie, right, But they asked the question how
funny do you think Adam Sandler is. The majority of people,
(21:51):
seventy one percent think that he is somewhat or very funny,
and twenty two percent cee Sandler as somewhat or very unfunny.
At about eight percent just don't sure. So most people
think he's funny, like real funny. So there are any
of those people in this room.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
No, I love him so much as a person like I.
I think he's one of the greatest people to walk
this earth. I love how he set up his life extreme.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I mean, he's kind, he doesn't care about like bouginess.
He is good to fans like I truly think. He
wears a T shirt and basketball shorts. He brings his
friends a lot for the ride. Oh yeah, he's had
a long term marriage. He's a great dad. He speaks
kindly about other people. He's a good friend. I really
love him. That being said, it's not for me, but
(22:37):
I like movies where he's in like Big Daddy or
fifty First Dates where he's like kind of.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
A quirky guy but he's so you know, Okay, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Do you guys like I was your issue? With the guy,
I just I don't I don't know. I guess it's
not like maybe my sense, my sense of humor is
a little darker and a little dirtier than him. That's
another thing is he's clean for the most part. Like
it's pretty much down the middle, and it's very accessible. No,
I mean, very talented guy, but seventy one percent I
think that that guy's very very funny. I've seen The
(23:11):
Wedding Singer and I like that movie. Okay, but that
was a funny movie too. I mean, he's involved with
funny stuff, even if you're not a fan of his
particular delivery. So it's all good. But everything he does
like goes it's like the greatest thing.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Ever for everybody names a lot, like it's a lot
for me.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Now I've lost lot. I had it for It's National Climb,
a Mountain Day, National Whistleblower Day, National Father in Law Day,
and it's actional cheesecake Day to day, which I'm happy
to celebrate. I've been meaning to get to that, but
I'm letting the ideas come to me. Is what I'm doing.
What I'm doing right now as I played this song,
is I'm creating space for What's Next Caln's Entertainment Report.
(23:50):
He's on the Press show.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Katie Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau were
spotted getting dinner at Le Violin in Montreal. Sounds Yeah,
in Montreal, in Montreal.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, they had drinks to check it out. It's great.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, you should have the drinks.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
I don't think I can afford. They do have drinks. Yes,
they also have lobster.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You should get the lobster.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
What kind of yaki do they have?
Speaker 1 (24:18):
If I had it's special? It depends on proteins in.
It depends on the night you go. I mean sometimes
it's veal. Oh, you know, sometimes it's lamb. So I'm
just trying to think of it when I go to it.
What's he called again, violone Violin. I'm over there and
I'm always getting that lamb yoki?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah, yum and uh.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
They took a walk at Mount Royal Park beforehand, which
I know you used to walk there a lot when
you were I take.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All my Mount Royal Park in Montreal, right, sounds.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Public staff says they were friendly and respectful with no PDA,
but they did wrap things up with drinks on like
a private terrace.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yes, Justin paid for the meal. Was it a date?
It sure looked like it. Of course they're both newly single.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
She ended her engagement Orlando Bloom in June, while Justin
split from wife Sophie in twenty twenty three. While I'm
talking about her really quick, did you guys see the
video of her on stage in Mexico City where like
people were dressed up as astronauts and she brought them
on stage and she was asking them questions.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
No, is she Canadian? By the way, No, she's she's
like Adian.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
No, I know she Yeah, she's a cat.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Oh she's sitting about herself. No, I didn't see this,
but I was just thinking like, how did that all
go down? Do you think? Cause I first I thought
maybe she like is she Canadian? Because I know the
Canadians they all have like a like kindred spirits, like
they're all buddies with each other. Yeah, you know, like
Justin Trudeau has Ever Levine's number on speed Olta for sure.
Chad Kroger Yeah, like a million percent, yeah, one hundred percent.
So part of it was like, how did that happen?
(25:40):
And then do you think like Justin saw the news
like that she's single. Was like, hey, people call her
people and make this happen. Or do you think maybe
they knew each other somehow? You think he dm'd her.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
If I had to guess, because I would love to
know the answer too. It seems like she's like elevating
herself into that like billionaire circle.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
So maybe they had common friends or something like that
called bezos. Maybe she called bezos.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
It was like, hey, set me up with that guy
because he seems like that kind of guy, Like he's
a lot of lady friends and he wants to like
fun Sydney Sweeney's lingerie.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
Line, and like, you know, I don't know very off,
Katy Perry, Katie, I don't know Kimsian, come on.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
So it's important of who you surround yourself with, who
is in your circle.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
I'm trying to surround myself with.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
And that's why I love you guys. I love you
guys so much.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I mean, he maybe you know, they may not love
him in Canada anymore, but I'd hang out with Josin Trudeau.
I mean you, yeah, I hang out with that guy
simply because apparently he's got just celebrities, you know, all
over the place. Rying to go out with him.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Yeah, Matthew Perry's mom used to work for his dad,
which I think is like a fun little connection. And
then of course Keith Morrison is his stepdad. Matthew Perry's
or Pete Brooke Cobin asked to remove herself from her
dad's will two years ago if you guys didn't know,
saying she didn't trust the people around him, and she
actually wanted to avoid future legal or family drama.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
You don't often hear about that happening.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
As a result, she's not going to inherit any of
the Hulkogin's estate, but she will remain a beneficiary of
a life insurance trust, so that will, you know, give
her a modest payout, which I'm sure you know she
just wants her dad back.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
She plans to use that though for her kids education.
Of course, she loves her dad.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Shared on Instagram really heartfelt tribute about her dad's passing,
describing their bond as spiritual and lifelong despite years of
estrangement and emotional distance. Very complicated situation, but she has
loved for him. And a New People interview, Heidi klum
It addressed backlash and I really don't even want to
talk about this, but I have. I had to read it,
so you guys have to hear it. Following a lingerie
(27:36):
shoot that she did with her twenty one year old
daughter Lenny. I don't know if you guys remember that
they did like a sexy photo shoot together, and she
defended it, saying it was a celebration of body positivity
and confidence between mother and daughter. Now she's explaining that,
you know, she grew up in a European environment, which
I am not European.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I know that's a thing there.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
She said, nudity was normalized and public nudity was never taboo.
But she says that she's often top at home around
her children and they're comfortable with it.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
So I just I don't know. I just think that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
She's walking around topless in front of her kids, and hey,
if that's the culture, that's the culture. But I had
to let you know because if my mom walked around topless,
I would cover her up. Leslie Happy Gilmore Too wrapped
up forty six point seven million complete viewings in its
first three days, making it Netflix's biggest US film debut
ever and Adam Sandler's most watched Netflix release to date,
(28:28):
The og Happy Gilmore from nineteen ninety six saw a
resurgence too, of course, ranking number three, which was smart
for them to have that right there globally with eleven
point four million views during the same week, so people
wanted to watch it beforehand. I didn't love it. I
loved like the nostalgia of it, but I had to
stop watching. But Shelley did love it. So this show
offers everybody all kinds of humor. Shelley is an Adam
(28:50):
Sandler guy, and I'm sure we'll talk to her about
that later.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And if you want to, are we live at all today?
Speaker 1 (28:55):
People? We're live?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
We're Is it only on me like it was yesterday?
Speaker 2 (28:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
No, I'm oh the whole the whole live sham was
only a year.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
No, there was like a portion I think look over
Jason's computer and it was just me and I was like, oh, oh, I've.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Chosen not to pull up our own YouTube. I don't
need to see what it looks like. I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Oh here I am talking. Yeah, that's fair, that's fair.
It's your report, I know, but own it. Okay, all right,
it's my report.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
If you want to catch up on this, you can
watch on YouTube Fred Show Radio, and then you can
type the Fresh Show on demand and set us as
a preset on the free.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I heard out, so groceries are expensive. I was talking
about that, and I was having this conversation with a
friend of mine the other day, and then I saw
this article. But I guess, I guess Spaghettios. When Spaghettio's
sales spike, don't quote me on this, but when they
start to go up, it's a sign of a recession,
that a recession's coming. And then I saw this article
(29:46):
about if you were interested the and this is from
MSN dot com. The drink of the summer is what's
called a hobo Negroni or a trailer park sprits, which
apparently is a cheaper version of a negroni if you
like that. It consists a bottled beer off in a
Miller high Life, top of the splash of apparol and
maybe some lemon juice if you've got the money for
(30:07):
that organic of course, but it's a way to fancy
up your drink without spending a lot of money. I
guess that's cheaper than a negronie. Somehow, I'll just take
the beer, right I don't people love Negroni's a little
bitterer for me. I wish I liked neigrony, but it's
a little bit for me. But my friend and I
were talking about this. I don't want to call it.
I'm gonna call it discount meal. I don't want to
(30:29):
call it poor meal, because I'm not I'm not making
fun of anybody. And I'm talking about like the kind
of stuff you eat when you didn't have as much
money or don't have a lot of money, or maybe
you just like it because you like it, but it's cheap.
Like what do you find yourself eating that is not
high quality? Like it is the kind of stuff would
eat when you were in college, or that you would
eat when you were, like you know, building your career.
(30:52):
Maybe you're still eating it now, it doesn't matter, but
I eight five five five three five. Maybe you have
a lot of money and you still choose to eat this,
we'll call it. We'll call it discount meal. Like for example,
I like those cup of noodle things. They come in
this styrofoam always. I don't know how much the couple
bucks and not that expensive. You pour the hot water
on them, I dump out the little hard vegetables you do.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Those are real and organic.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
They're right on the top and you can just dump
them out. I don't.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
I don't care for that. The only problem is they're
salt bombs, which I love. But the one cup is
usually not enough.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Like I really am a two I would be a
two cup guy, but I feel a little crazy eating
two of them at the same time. You love it,
but not real expensive but delicious.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
A little motochon actually okay, but try this at home
today or whenever you eat it?
Speaker 3 (31:38):
Can you put sauce on top of it?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Oh, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
It's so good.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
They have a Sacha brand one that I started buying,
like it's already in the flavors.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Really so good, you know, In like Japan, I've seen
they put a piece of velveta cheese on top of
them and you're supposed to pu cheese and it to
make it a little like thicker.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
And guy, I put an egg in there, you know.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Oh you're fancy. Wow, Yeah, this is what do you do?
You put the egg in, then you microwave it.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
No, like I'll if I do it, if I'll do it? Like, yeah,
you mix it up. You beat it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Sometimes I'll do it on the stove too, instead of
in the microwave. I'm trying to avoid microwave us.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
That's fantoh really.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
And they switched from styrofoam to cardboard, which I'm appreciative of.
Oh that's nice because styrofoam heating in the micro is
very bad.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I guess that's how old mine are. I have the
old school ones. I think mine are still styrofox right
right exactly. I probably had them for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You need to know.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
People were saying ramen, but what is it for you, Jason?
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I still do like the like the tortilla chips on
the plate with some sprinkled like Chihuahua cheese or whatever,
sprinkle cheese. I haven't throw that in the microwave. And
it's kind of like kind of nachos. Yeah, okay, that
was a staph I know, like my mom used to
make it all the time growing up, and now it
just like tastes like my childhood.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Someone said toast with syrup, so it's like kind of
like French toast, but not okay, all right, I don't
know how.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
To make French toast, so that would be the closest
I could probably get. My grandfather is your text.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
My grandfather in law is very wealthy and lives off
of velveta casserole. Oh okay, no, trust me this. Some
of this stuff is probably delicious. And I'm not making
fun of anybody, Like, if this is what you gotta eat,
then that's what you gotta eat.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
It's so good.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But I think some of this stuff, you know, people
might still choose to eat buttered noodles. I steal will
rock buttered noodles, the cheap egg noodles that come in
the big plastic bag. Dump some of those in there,
and they made a little salt on their little.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Pepper save some pasta.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Water it up, Yeah, because the stars in the pasta water. Wow.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
Eggs and eggs and hot dogs. Have you guys ever
done that?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Eggs eggs in the hot dogs?
Speaker 6 (33:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Yeah, you just chop up the hot dog, throw it
in the pan and.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
The eggs like scrambled eggs. Ok. Yeah, I could you
could ha Nicole, good morning, How are you cool? We're
on the verge of a recession. I've been hearing that
for years, Like we are, let's say we are we
need to Hey, we need the good stuff that's not
going to cost us a lot of money. What what
do you recommend?
Speaker 6 (33:58):
Yeah, So in my house, my husband absolutely hates cottage cheese.
But we call it poor man's mac and cheese. So
it's just a box of noodles, an onion and a
container of cottage cheese. And it costs like four dollars,
but we call it poverty food because he hates it
so much.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
So you mix the cottage cheese into doesn't think it
kind of lumpy and like kind of texturally weird.
Speaker 6 (34:18):
It kind of melts a little bit when the noodles
are hot, so it like gives it almost like a
like a stringy mac and cheese type of like texture.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
But it's good.
Speaker 6 (34:27):
We just add seasoned salt and that's it.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Interesting cottagecheese. Like, my objection to cottage cheese is the texture.
Is it just it? I mean, it's it's inherently lumpy,
like it's I don't think it should be warm. Yeah, okay,
well so there, thank you, Nicole, I have a good day.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 7 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
And by the way, this is not a health segment.
I'm not I'm not suggesting that anybody do any of
this like for you know, that's good for you. I'm
just talking about what's good. Eggs and rice, Okay, bean tacos,
rice tacos, anything available to put on a tortilla. Yeah,
like if you've got a tortilla, or you've got like
an English muffin, which is kind of boogy. I guess
I don't know if I don't know if it's I
don't know the cost analysis of an English muffin versus
(35:05):
like a loaf of bread. I don't know how much
that cost. But you make like a little pizza out
of the like if you got tomato sauce and you
make a little little English muffin pizza. You ever done that?
I don't think that's very expensive. Maybe I'm a Debbie. Hi, Debbie,
So this is your discount meal that you still like? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Yes, Well my mom started me and my brother on
it because she grew up with eleven brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (35:31):
Oh, her mom used to make cream which is just
the albal macaroni creams and bacon, and it was the
Albo macaroni with a cannon, tomato soup and bacon bits.
And it was filling it for all of it kids
for cheese, and.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
So I grew up eating it and I love it.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
It's my comfort food and my cheap eating.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Interesting. That doesn't sound terrible.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
No, it's really good.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Okay, all right, I may have to try that. Thank you, Debbie,
A good day. Blend the cottage cheese before you put
it in stuff, Okay, a lot of people in it
and more texts Mayo and salt sandwiches, Mayo and salt,
like I.
Speaker 3 (36:15):
Do tomato sandwiches all the time. Does that? Yeah, that's
her hood meal. Yeah, she loves tomatoes and her sandwiches. Like, oh,
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (36:23):
I was gonna say, just put any potatoes because that's
so cheap. I feel in Poland at least they were.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Have you ever had I don't think this is cheap.
But speaking of which, have you ever had a cream,
cheese and green olives sandwich. There's a place in Scottsdale,
Arizona that makes them, called the Sugar Bowl, and we
grew up with them. I don't know if it's cheap.
I don't know how much green olives cost, but it's
it's like toast, like white, like wonderbread kind of thing
toasted and then cream, a layer of cream cheese and
(36:48):
then green olives that are cut like thin, you know,
I don't know, like sliced, and they put on the sandwich.
That's it. That's the whole sandwich. It's delicious.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
And maybe it's just because it tastes like my childhood,
which a lot of things there are, you know, when
you're a kid, certain things that weren't necessarily healthy or
all that expensive that you remember eating when you were
growing up, and they still taste amazing. Alice, Alice, I
hear that, Alice, is there, Alice, I like ramen, and
(37:17):
I take out the packet and add the hot sauce.
Thank you, thank you, Alice. That was wonderful. That was
really good. I don't know why you call it and
not talk like you call it and you don't talk doggie.
It's very upsetting to me. Toast with peanut butter and
brown sugar. Oh yeah, I would eat that tortilla omelets, okay,
(37:41):
I don't know. Turkey meat is super cheap, cooked turkey
meat with some cream of mushroom soup and then un
buttered toast. Also, you know what's good is like that stofers.
It's like sliced beef. Cream beef. It's like very thin
slices of beef that's in some kind of a cream
sauce than a red box. You put that on top
(38:01):
of toast. I also, I don't know how much that costs.
Toasted bread, turkey and cream cheese, a Royst cone, harmone
Mexican rice with ham My.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Mom does spam?
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I've never had spam.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah, we talk about that sometimes and not enough, but
we don't talk about spam. It's good. I don't eat
it often, but it's good.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Why are we not talking about spam on this show?
More spam? Really?
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Like you could have it in your like basement forever,
keep it stored there, right yea, No.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Like you needed some of that with during the tsunami.
The potential she probably is it could be eighty years
old if you'll eat it, And they do eat it
there regularly in Hawaii, like it's a delicacy there. Miracle
whip sandwich. Oh boy, I don't know about that. Baked
beans on toast. Yeah, dried beef which that's what it's called,
cream dried beef, which sounds kind of gross, but it's good.
