So it's a throwback. Name that tune game.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
We defined a throwback, well, the suits did as six
and a half years are older, because I was going
way back and I still will sometimes you should. But
then they were like, well, I no, we knows those songs. Okay,
Well the point is not the point, is it? The
people in the room playing the game know the song.
That's the point of the game. So some of these
I'm like, this is this is seven years old? I
feel like it was yesterday. We'll do that waiting by
(02:47):
the phone this morning? Why did somebody get ghosted? And
more coming up. I'm about to save you, Kiki, save me.
I'm about to save you right now. You're gonna thank
me later. We don't need a wedding swing. We don't
need a photo shoot a you all over the place.
We don't need fireworks, we don't need pyrotechnics. We don't
need four bands, we don't need venue changes, we don't
(03:07):
need you levitating in we don't need raisin canes afterwards,
We don't need anything.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Right, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Research suggests that how much couples spend on their wedding
may influence the chance that their marriage lasts.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Who cares about that? Who cares if it last?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You know, we had a good time.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You just want to have a big day, and it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
We already made it this far and by that point
it will be what nine years have been together, nine
and a half years by the time you get to
the altar. But who cares if it all melts down
right away? As long as it was a great night.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
We had a good run. We went out with a bang.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Studies showed the couples who spend more than about twenty
thousand dollars on their weddings are significantly more likely to
divorce later than those who spend a more modest amount,
while lower costs serrem wait spend more than twenty on
their wedding are significantly more likely to divorce.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The more you that's why the way right quickly, The
more you spend, the more likely you already get divorced.
According to this lower cost ceremonies tend to be linked
with stronger long term marriages. The takeaway, keeping wedding expenses
reasonable and avoiding starting married life under heavy financial strain
might actually help your relationship thrive. I've been saying this.
(04:23):
You've been saying this, single guy, never engaged, never married.
I've been telling you guys how to do it.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Gives good advice, though you do I I'll give you
that part.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That's your thing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, I have a lot of opinions and a lot
of perspectives. I've made a career out of it. It
doesn't mean that I could live my own life properly
that No one said that. That was not part of
the deal. No, did you say twenty thousand dollars? Twenty
thousand dollars? It still seems really cheap, well right, I mean,
but yeah, seems more twenties the threshold. So people spend
you know, a lot more than that, I guess. But
(04:54):
oh yeah, I'm assuming. So I said, you don't even
have to spend a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, I know I have to.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
But you know, I agree at this study, and I'm
sure is very true because think about it, you don't
you don't go into your marriage with a bunch of debts.
The more money you spend means the more people you
have at your wedding, The more people you have in
your wedding, So there's probably less family drama, you know,
and so you're not good for them.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I want to take a quick survey, though, eight five, five, five,
three five You can contact the same number. First of all,
did you spend a ton of money on your wedding?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
One? Two? Are you still married? Three? Was it worth it?
Truly worth it?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Four?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
What's your favorite calling?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
What is your social Security number? And your mother's maiden name.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm serious, I mean I said this a thousand times
and reference to a bunch of different people's weddings. It's
like I don't remember what I ate at ninety nine
percent of the weddings I've been to. I remember, like
some of the cool stuff, Like I remember at the
end somebody brought out like sliders or something at the.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
End, some of McDonald's cheeseburgers at the very very end
of it. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I love the drunk food.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I mean that's cool, but like that is the job,
is right, the cheapest part of the nine somebody rand
ran on down there and you know, ordered one hundred
hamburgers and passed them out at the end. I mean
I could have done that for you.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I get a door dash it for less than you spent.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I will say, the most fun weddings I've been to
are the ones that are more chill like. I just
like thinking of all the weddings I've been to, like
in a barn with solo cups or you know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Just like a chill but keeping it simple. And maybe
it wasn't as much money to do it that way.
I mean, who knows, maybe the barn with the solo
cups actually logistically was very.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Expensive or hard to do. I don't know. It was
at their barn and there it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Was in West Virginia, and okay, yeah it was.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It was the weddings that were intended to look simple. No,
but like they were in the middle. Like I went
to one wedding I didn't know what I was getting into.
It was somewhere in Colorado, I can't remember brecon.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ridge, Steamboat. Maybe steamboat was in Steamboat.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
It was in the middle of a forest.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, there was like a clearing and it literally was
just chairs and trees, and I'm like, well this now,
of course we were all busts there on luxury. I mean,
this was this wedding probably customely nice luck and actuality.
It probably could, but like at first, it's very simple. Yeah,
Like we pull up, there's like trees, the forests, and
like there was I think I think there was like
(07:10):
there were drinks and water in plastic cups, and I'm like,
okay or something like very very simple. We walk into
this you know, this opening and the forests and there
was chairs and I'm like, okay, very simple. Only for
us to be led down this path through this entire
village that they built in the middle of the forest
with like glass tops, and oh my god, it was
over the top and it was cool and I had
(07:32):
a good time and I set it a good table
and it was all good. And these people had a
lot of money, so fine. But at first I'm thinking
the buses were the mostly like this is a campsite,
like this is no big deal.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh my god, No, this was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And then I later went it was like in Conde
Nast or one of those you know, like Vanity Fair
or something like one of these venues that like famous
people tried, and you know, people line up for years
to get into this thing. And I'm going and they're
a nice couple, they're still married, they have kids, they're
wonderful people. I hope to say together forever. But I'm thinking, man,
there was a teepee. They had a tpe erected at
this thing. I may not with some lady at a wedding. Yeah, yeah,
(08:09):
so I remember all of that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Maybe I'm full of it. I am, well, I am
full of it, But yeah, you need a tepee.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I need Oh my gosh, if you make out with
someone at Kiki's wedding, that would make me so happy.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I think I want to know everybody at Kiki's wedding.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
So no, no, no, no, I got so many women
lined up for you at my wedding.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
HEREO side contest you're doing where you can buy one
hundred dollars raffles. I see what you're You're selling raffle
tickets so you can have the worst night of your life.
And as a wedding date, I'm not a good wedding date.
I'm I'm not a good because if dancing is the
main entertainment thing at the wedding.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't. I'm not a dancer.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh yeah, Shelley's wedding. We were trying to get you
out there and you were like, no, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, but none of them maybe you were dancing, but
a few of us in the group we all sat
in the corner and didn't dance, like I didn't feel alone,
not want to do dance. And then Shelley's sister came
over and like bullied me. She wanted do yeah, and
I didn't because at that point, because we came, we
were invited later in the evening, so everybody was ready
to go when we arrived, and we were not. We
(09:11):
were not prepared for I wasn't prepared for that. I
should have pre party for two hours before I should
have to be, you know, in line with these people.
I think Mike had a shirt off by that point,
which is not uncommon for military Mike, Shelley's husband to
have his shirt off. But yeah, no, hey, Natalie, how
you doing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Natalie?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You eloped, You've been married for eight years and so
it cost you very little.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I assume very little, Okay, and we go ahead.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
We decided we weren't gonna do all that wedding stuff,
especially since when we're getting married, we saw so many
people get divorced, especially in our families, and we said,
we're not going to waste our time. If this isn't
going to be ten years, we're not going to do
a big party for.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What that's interesting?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Like what if you had a really simple wedding and
then you celebrate making it past the national average with
like a big shin digue, and then you could save
slowly for that and make it exactly what you want.
You have all this time because you don't have to.
You can do it ten years, you can do it fifteen,
you do twenty something like that. So you didn't spend
a lot of money, and you're happy and you're together,
and you're not broke.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
At least not from that, not from that for sure,
broke right right exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You're not broker than broke. Then thank you, Natalie, have
a good day too. I'm glad you called Sonia. How
you doing, Sonia?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Oh, I'm doing great, Bread, how are you doing well?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You're about to blow up my theory because you spent
less than ten k and.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Your divorce.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You got it.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
It was one hundred and fifty people less than ten k.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Granted that was twenty fourteen, so prices were cheaper, But
the theory does not check out.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
All right, So out Layers, if you had it to
do over again, would you've just had a bigger wedding,
because why not? I mean, did you get the wedding
that you wanted and it didn't work out? I mean
did you try and save on it?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yes, yes, we tried to save on it. And I
would do it over again because Fred, my friends still
say this was the best party they've ever went to.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, this is the best party I've ever thrown.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Each doesn't want to hear from a lot of people.
I hear that. And this is what Kiki's saying too.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's like, look, look, yeah, the wedding whatever, whatever, But like,
this is my time to shine. This is my time
to have my night, my way, do it how I want.
And if it costs ever much, it costs, by it, and
if it melts down that we still had a great night.
I look at it too, pragmatically, just like everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Perfect. Hey, love you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey have a good day. Fred hit or Lawrence back
for twenty twenty six. This is a woman who for
the last two years, has told us she's forced to listen,
but yet listens every day, probably more than most people.
Fred starting out twenty twenty six with how many girls
he soaked up with?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
When did I even say that?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You're always bragging?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
That last segment is next where we do the daily
tote board of how many people I've hooked up with?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You we haven't got in there. You're ahead of yourself,
Fred Hayter Lauren Lauren.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Wait for Jason and I's podcast where we have every
woman on.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes, Oh my god, they'll never run out of the
podcast that we write and we miss. We have fun.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You have to datum.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You always bring them around and we get attached to
These kids are happy. Jason and I loved and we're like,
where are they?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Everybody I've never dated is married with kids are happy
now and when they weren't happy with me, makes perfect sense.
They're satisfied with their lives. They feel fulfilled. What do
you mean? I just I love this person because I
don't know what show you're listening to, but it sounds
better than the one that we're doing.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Hey Aaron, how you doing?
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Aaron? I don't know, you know? They say that like,
what is that saying about hater? Is?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Like, I think our haters spend way more time with
this show than the people that like it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Haters are your motivators. I mean, it's I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You know, if you don't like it, you like it.
I don't care. Listen as long as it's possible. I
appreciate your loyalty either way, whether it's love or hate. Aaron,
are you Are you on the lover of the hate side?
I'm just curious.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Oh, I'm I'm on the love party.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
This is great, this is fine. You how much have
you spent on your wedding?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Seventy thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Seventy thousand dollars and what is a rum roll? Please?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Seven d seven zero?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, seven zero, seventy thousand dollars and drum roll? Where
are we at.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Three years definitely married and expecting our first baby?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I think so this is poppy cock? Then, is what
you're saying this twenty thousand dollars thing?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Yeah, no, that's crap.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I mean maybe now it's twenty five it would be
probably a lot more to get what I got, But
I'm a kiki.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
It's like the day of your life. I give you
what you want.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
And honestly, my husband helped me get like the green wedding.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
So when you find the right one, you side together and.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Set up there you go, why not, Aaron, have a
good day. Thanks for calling and for listening. Coming someone
sectioned Fred is good luck?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Chuck? I am? I am. You know you date me
and you're like, I need to get my life together,
and then you go find someone and get married. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Now, I will say there have been two cycles of
my life where people get married, and then there's two
cycles of my life where they come back. And we're
entering into one of those again now where some of
the ones from the past are beginning to emerge again.
The problem is some of them are not divorced yet. Hi, Sarah,
how you doing. It's a nasty world out there.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
How are you Sarah?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
How much you spent great? And thanks for listening. You
spent how much on your wedding? And where are we at?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
It was about twenty two thousand. We were in Urbana, Illinois,
very very small venue.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
She had just started out.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Honestly, we spent more on our open bar than we
did anything else.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yep, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So essentially, though you've written here, you had a barbecue wedding,
spent twenty two K, and you're still together.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yes we are, and we actually moved to Georgia started
listening from Georgia.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Okay, thank you very we appreciate that, Thank you so much.
And so maybe this twenty thousand dollars thing is right,
because twenty two that's closed. So and you guys are happy,
So thank you, Sarah, Yes, thank you. Having they put
us on a radio station in Georgia. Somewhere we need Georgia.
We got North Carolina on lock doing great North. We
got North Dakota on lock. Well, no, no one's listening
(15:25):
to Charlotte that no one even knows exists. And then
but Raleigh, Raleiah, Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They love us in Raleigh, apparently, God bless you. Brandon, Brandon,
you I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Brandon Hates says, yeah, Brandon decided to hang up sixty
five grand still married, he said, So, I don't know,
maybe this is all BS, Yes it is, but I
can see a world where it would make sense that
if you don't spend as much money and you don't
feel as much pressure to you know, because a lot
of people are going into big, major debt for this.
I mean, who's gotten seventy thousand dollars you laying around
(16:02):
so you're going into dad. I'd say the same thing
about rings. People spend all this money on a ring.
Good for you if you can afford it. But if
you can, now you've got these payments and this pressure.
So now you started your life together with all these
bills that you have to pay, and yet you're still
trying to figure out how to navigate, you know, being
in a relationship, being together. So I just think it
would be prudent to maybe just spend what you can
(16:22):
afford and then you know, build on it as you
as you stayed together the longer.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Would you guys be pissed if you traveled?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I told you guys off the air that I have
friends who like, had this big wedding in Spain and
it was in vogue and it was so elaborate, and
not even less than a year later, they're already divorced. Like,
would you guys be pissed if you like traveled all
that way and.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
He's a guest. Yes, if I was a guest, I'd
be hot.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, did you enjoy yourself though? Because you went to Spain?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I didn't go, but it looked beautiful. A lot of
my friends went.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I guess I would have to ask them, but I'd
be like the data for experience. Yeah, it's crazy though,
date for ten years, you have this huge wedding and
then what could happen?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah with a year.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's this is why I sometimes wonder if I'm better
off just dating someone forever. You'll give him a ring
in the commitment, because explain to me, like, how are
you to get it for a decade? I know, and
then divorce within a year. The only thing that change
was that you went to Spain and got married, so
you know what I mean? Like, what do we just
skip that part? And they're probably still together.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I have a friend that's been engaged for five years
and I don't know if they'll ever get married, which
I think is an interesting one.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Like well and Camlin.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
People hear me say this or us talk about this,
and they're like, wellther he has a commitment issue or whatever. No,
I don't like I would get with we get together,
we can move in together. But perhaps separate houses connected
with a tunnel of some kind, and then a ring
and the whole thing. It has nothing to do with
seeing other people. It has nothing to do with variety,
has nothing to do with the concern about being with
one person for the rest of my life. It has
everything to do with the thing falling apart, because you
(17:51):
see it all the time. People date forever and ever
and ever, they get married and then it just melts down.
Why it's got to be a mental thing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Matt. You spent five grand on your wedding. It's not
even five grand.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay, Well tell me about it. I mean, tell me
what your five thousand dollars wedding, because I bet it
was dope.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, yeah, the show.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
We had about fifty to seventy five guests, not sure exactly.
Wedding on the river, beautiful venue.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
We decorated everything ourselves, had a barbecue, catering done.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I love it and and we're together yep in married
twelve years.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, So the point for my not my theory, but
this is the research theory. You have a barbecue, Thank you, Matt.
Have a good day's well. All Christian can be that Christian,
you spent seven hundred dollars. What amazing?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
What did you spend it on?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Honestly, I think the judge was about.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, she bought a dress. I bought a suit and
uh room, Okay, yeah we got We got married in
the literally.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
In the beginning of COVID, so it was twenty twenty.
It kind of worked out perfect because me and me,
me and the wife, we don't really like big events
when we have to pay for fluff people, and so
we were outside at a.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Forest reserve pretty much.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
They allowed us to use some force reserve for free.
We set up our family set up for us. We
had about twelve people only, and the judge came out
at the wedding. We zoomed it to everybody everybody could
be on zoom and watched the wedding that had about
one hundred some people.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Have to pay for over that. And then we closed
on a house.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Michael a week and a half later.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
So see, and that was smart because you probably wound
up spending your money on that instead, and that probably
will work out that in the long term.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Good for you, Christian, have a good day. That's awesome
you too, we see, and he.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Makes an excellent point too. Think about Kiki, you don't
have to say, like specifically, then how many people are
coming your.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Wedding two hundred and fifty?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
WHOA.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Now, you're not going to answer this question honestly because
I don't know that many people would. But of the
two fifty, truly truly, how many would you demand attend?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What percentage? Twenty seventy five?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Okay, even then, so's twenty five percent of the people there,
which is what about seventy people? I'm just off the
top of my head, are fluff for people that you're
paying however, howmver much money for?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
They don't have to be there, yes, And I think
that's true at every wedding. You know, it's all my
mom's you know, coworker has to be there, my dentist
from kindergarten has to be there.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
My Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
These people are there and you're paying for this, but
like they are not essential to the operation.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yes, but you know, I don't want I'm like making
people feel left out.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I like to be invited to everything, so I feel
like everybody should be invited.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Okay, but see, there you go.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
That is money that you're having to spend on something
that if you just hey, if.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
If you can do the United Center, I would do it.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I know we can get into All State Arena.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So you know, this is a just a hodgepodge of topics,
stuff that we think you should notice starts your morning,
and usually it's uh, you know, not real serious, not
really politics, mostly opinion. But I would remiss if I
didn't bring up quickly a serious story. An immigration cracked
down of Minneapolis turned deadly yesterday when a federal immigration
(21:32):
officer fatally shot a woman.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Unfortunately, this is.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
A story we're gonna have to keep an eye on
because the governor there, Tim Wallston, at his office, is
gathering information about the shooting. At a press conference that
he has ordered the Minnesota National Guard to be ready
to deployed, to be deployed to the state. Tragic, very tragic.
And then a tragic shooting in Salt Lake City last
night as well. So I hate to start like that,
(21:57):
but don't worry. We'll make a hard pivot now right
to wegovy because you know, you know, I love talking
about weight loss drug.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Might just as well just have a segment in the report.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, well, because it's a lot of it, because money
was the pill. And then I shared with you my
bitterness about the people who are gonna look hotter than
me for taking a pill that I could easily take.
I'm just concerned that I'm going to grow like a
tail or, a you know, some kind of limb I
don't need, or something like that. I just think it's
too easy, and I don't have any scientific research to
back that up. And if you need it, take it.
If it helps your life, take it great. But if
(22:30):
you don't want to get out a little treadmill, enjoy
your tail Researchers looked at data on thousands of people
who use popular weight loss injections like thozempic, wegov, and
manjoro and found a clear pattern. When people stopped taking them,
almost all the weight they lost comes back and fast.
On average, folks regain nearly a pound a month after
stopping the drugs, and we're back to their original weight
(22:53):
in about a year and a half to two years.
The improvements in things like blood pressure and cholesterol also
faded once the medication was stopped by the way.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I have no idea what I'm talking about with these things.
I'm just it's just.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Me satirically being bitter that people look hotter than I
do with less effort. That's all I'm saying. And so
I may I may grow a tail myself. It looks
so hot, right hot, With a tail, I could be hotter.
I can be skinnier. I can be way skinner. No, yeah,
I could. But scientists are basically saying that you may
have to just take these things forever, like if you start,
(23:25):
then you would have to just take it for the
rest of your life, like a life.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, lifelong thing. That's what I'm afraid of.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
I'm like, I don't want to go back on it
because I know that I will regain the weight. So
I'm doing your method, which is yet my butt on
the treadmill and go to Planet Fitness and work out.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, my method is to go to Planet Fitness and
work out with the giddy and the torture. But then
also lest I order insomnia cookies, so like, it's not
this is all on me, it's a thousand percent on me.
There are like four hundred pounds of cookies in my
stomach right now, because of course I ate them.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
And then went to bed, which is even.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Better for you're just sitting in there.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, I know it's not great, but I don't have
much discipline. I get a craving and I it's like
chicken breast all day, like in like you know, carrots,
and then at the end.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Of the day, I'm starving.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Why you ordered seven hundred pounds of insomnia cookies, which
are delicious, I must say it was worth it. Open
ai got health news. It's all health news. This is
right for right up your alley, Paulina.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I'm ready, man.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Everything she does is is chat gpt Now. Open ai
has launched chat gpt health. What could possibly go wrong?
Open Aiy is launching this to deal with the two
hundred and thirty million people who ask the chatbot health
questions each week. Chat GPT Health will keep health questions
separate from other chats. Open Aiy says that it will
not use health questions to train its models. The company
(24:42):
does stress it is not intended for diagnosis and treatment
and it's not supposed to replace medical care, but to
help users navigate their own health information. And I'm sure
doctors and nurses listening. Now if you're well, doctors don't
listen to us, but nurses and whoever, maybe nurses and
a lot of nurses do.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I think I think maybe doctor tune too.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think we've talked about this recently because I think
this is this kind of dumbs it down for him.
You know, everything's serious and you're smart and saving lives
and this is not. So you drive in and you
just s it's a nice release to hear a bunch
of more on talking about whatever. But I'm sure you
hear this and you go, great, this is going to
make my life so much harder now, as if Google
wasn't bad enough, because I'm guilty of that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, they'll be like a bump on.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
My leg or something, and I know how I bumped
into something like it's I know how I did it,
or like an ingrown hair. I know I have a headache.
I Google like I have a headache. Oh, you have
brain tumor. And then I get all worked up about
it and I go to the doctor. Doc, I'm dead,
I died. I am dead. I have a brain tumor.
I already died. And then they're like and they always
do that. They go because they because you don't know
(25:47):
you and you work yourself up and you now your
blood pressures through the roof and now and you're all,
you know, upset, and it turns out that there's nothing
wrong with you. Take some time when I'll and go home.
And I think this is probably making everyone lives in
the medical industry more difficult. But at the same time,
if they get this dialed in, I mean, if I
would imagine that it is or will be responsible for
(26:09):
discovering things that are like deep in the textbooks that
maybe doctors don't think of right off the bat, because
we're human and we don't remember everything. So it's possible
if they get this, you know, targeted correctly, that you
could type in a bunch of symptoms and it could
spit out some stuff that like may be more rare
or some ideas that people haven't come up with. So
I suppose, but I don't think we. I don't think
Pauline and I need access to this.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I need access all.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
No, I don't do.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Maybe doctors can have access to it because they know
what they're looking at and they know like the probabilities
and stuff. For sure, I don't need access to this.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
You don't do you have access to your health records?
Like if you're like a my chart, you have that right.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I mean, yeah, I can go look at my life.
I don't know what it means.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You got a pro there you go, so take what
you got. This is not medical advice. This is Paulina
Road advice. Take you no, take your results and put
them in CHEDGYPC.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
It's very interesting because like you and I have talked
about the spreade, like we both have high cholesterol, and
I put that into my result into chagy Bet and
they'll they'll give me like a diet to follow.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Maybe take this supplement. It's been really helpful.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I don't need I have high cholesterol because I ate
a box of insomnia cookies. Okay, so close the mouth,
zip the lips. Okay, why can't zip the lips. I
gotta get pad, I get paid to talk baby.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Close the mouth, yes the mouth, put the cookies down.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
But like also I'm telling you, like it does help
you when you have questions on the spot.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Well, I can't call my dad, Like, but Google sucks
diet for high cholesterol, like I could have done that prey.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So it's a chicken breast and the Carrs were.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
For Chad talks to me nice.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
No, I'm not saying it's not a useful tool.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'm saying, like everything else, I think it probably is
leading to you know, we don't have enough, We don't
know enough as non doctors and non health professionals to
know if what we're looking at makes any sense.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So we get worked up.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And typically it seems Google at least seems to take
you to the worst case scenario, and then you go
to the doctor and you're all, you know, fired up,
and then they talk you down. At least that's how
it goes with me. There's also new alcohol guidance. Some
people might like this, according to the new US dietary
guide lines. The Trump administration released a new federal dietary
guideline yesterday, and they say that they made a change
(28:06):
in the alcohol The guidelines now simply tell Americans to
limit them instead of giving specific drink limits. Previous guidelines
said that men should have no more than two drinks
a day and women no more than one. And by
the way, doctor Oz is the one leading this this information.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I just you know, ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It runs Medicare and medicais.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I talked to him like two weeks ago. Yeah, you
two did?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I did?
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Yeah, he was on my iHeartRadio community affairs show, doctor
did you tell you to drink up?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
No, he's actually no, he actually told me, he say,
recently we talked about the Way Lost drugs too.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, he's you know, he's smarts.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Right right, So I was like, you know what, let's
keep it at this, Let's keep it a book like
a right, Let's just keep this right worth. Yeah, he's
got lots of I talked to doctor Oz the other day.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I know that was not a sentence that it was
on my bingo part for today. It wasn't another sort
of well, very serious story. But Nick Reiner, remember this
was a couple of weeks ago, of course, allegedly killed
his parents. He was not arraigned as expected yesterday, and
said the high profile defense attorney Alan Jackson, my boy, Yes,
the Karen Reid guy withdrew from the murder case. With
(29:24):
the court approving the switch to a public defender. The
judge set a new arraignment date for February, and he said, yeah,
I agree with that. That's what he said in court.
The New York Times reports that these significant departure macing
jests at the Reiner family, Nick has two siblings, have
distanced itself from mister Reiner and his legal case, at
least financially, because you know, Ali Jackson is not cheap, no,
(29:45):
and also interesting. A friend of mine who's an attorney,
pointed this out. He did Karen Reid's second trial for free,
so he might he really believed in her and that
she was in it, and of course good things I'm
coming for him from that. He had no problem walking
away from this when an allegedly speculation is that he's
not getting paid. So he did say on the way out,
(30:07):
this guy's not guilty. He did say that, But I
part of me wonders like if he really truly believed
in this guy's innocence so that he could get him
off and that this would thrust him into the spotlight
yet again and justice would be served.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
If he believed that, then why.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Is he walking I trust Alan with my life, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Mean I would hire him if I could afford him.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, but usually that means like you're in a sticky spot, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I don't really want to have to hire a criminal
defense attorney and prefer not to you know, but if
it ever happens, I hope you'll call Alan for me.
He'll come bail me out. And finally, a nice story.
Policed in north Haven, Connecticut, got a handwritten apology in
the mail from a young girl who accidentally dialed nine
to one one thinking that the phone that she was
using was a toy. The note, from a child named Lily,
(30:50):
said sorry for calling nine one one ihot, I thought
it was a playphone and promised she wouldn't do it again.
The North Haven Police Department shared her sincere letter on
social media, reassuring her that things happen and turning the
moment into a lighthearted message about responsible phone use. The
post has since drawn smiles and plenty of convention parents
who've heard similar stories. That's very nice, that's nice, well rounded.
(31:12):
Today we went serious, we win, We went went back
and forth. I really pulled on your heartstrings and your
emotions today to mess. It's National Career Coach Day, National
bubble Bath Day, and National joy Germ Day. Reminds people
that by being positive as I am in twenty twenty six, yeah,
and treating people with kindness, you can influence those around
them and pass that positive attitude onto others, which is
(31:34):
why positivity in twenty twenty six from your.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Boy right here scares me a little. It's a four dayden.
It's working.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Okay, you're smiling really hard. I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
That's the caffeine. Caitlin's Entertainment reports on the.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Fresh show he did, Rivalry star Hudson Williams says a
number of current professional athletes across several major sports have
reached out to him to share the stories about being
closeted throughout their careers. The twenty four year old actors
shared the revelation while talking to Andy Cohen about the show.
I think that interview drops today and the show if
(32:10):
you have not heard about it, if you are not
chronically online. It follows two secretly gay and by professional
hockey players as they navigate a romance throughout their careers.
There's subplots of other similar storylines as well, and Hudson
said that he and the author of the books that
the show is based on have heard from hockey players,
football players, and basketball players through both emails or dms
(32:34):
on Instagram. So the show is, you know, I think
making people feel seen and comfortable reaching out, which is
probably very.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Special for him to be a part of that.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
T Pain just made his mama cry tears of joy
after surprising her with a new private jet reported forty million.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I thought, you say, Ci, I thought we had a whole.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Conversation about Tis. Yeah, and that's why I was like,
how does t I have so much money?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, I said to Paint.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
The whole conversation was about and I'm like, big things popping, right,
He's got money like that he does.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
But that's yeah, that makes more sense. But I will
say I also see I see this stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I see T Pain flying around in pj's and stuff
and that buying pj's, and I go, wow, I didn't
know he had to like that either.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Oh yeah, No, I don't feel the same way about
Ti that I feel about T Pain.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
So I'm so sorry for and okay, wow, I have
to Okay, my bad.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I thought, I said t Pain but Pain right, I
was thinking, I'm sprung like you guys don't like that.
He actually promised her to buy her a PJ as
a teenager, and he said like, one day, I'm gonna
buy you this jet. When I become successful, and so
he fulfilled that promise. He's already bought her a house.
Businesses made sure she lives like a queen, which I
think we all wish we could do for our parents
(33:51):
or the people that raised us. Peacock is rolling out
a new audio feature for sports fans that could change
how people watch live games.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
The streaming service is int grating advanced.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Dolby sound technology that will let viewers customize their audio experience,
including the ability to mute play by play announcers or
adjust crowd, noise and commentary levels during broadcasts. This means
if you'd rather hear the crowd or the pure sounds
of the action without commentary, you'd be able to do that,
which would be interesting.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
They say that these enhancements are designed.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
To make live sports feel more immersive and give fans
more control over how they enjoy NFL, NBA and other games.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Jason, how do you like to watch your games?
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I like I usually turned down the announcer because it's
usually that one guy that annoys me with the southern ass.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, well, you don't have to watch ESPN eight don't know.
That's like an alternate broadcast.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Will listen to the main I know you have seventeen
TVs in your house and you're always streaming sports, but
like you don't have to watch every one of them.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Yeah, you know that like pool party outside in Vegas
where they have all the screens.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's that actually is modeled after your back Ye, exactly,
bottle girls and everything.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Do you also charge one hundred and thirty dollars for
two drinks?
Speaker 1 (35:06):

Speaker 2 (35:31):
Maybe a t I one too, But he got enough
love on necessarily, Like I just I didn't know he
had that.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
I was like, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Big things popping for me? If that came on, I'm
not mad about it. Yeah, I don't know, because big
things popping, bring them out, bring them out. Yeah, that's
all right, But anyway, I want to make sure I
contribute to the Private Jet fund because if I could
buy my mama PG, I would.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah. Instead, I think I got her like a mug
off Amazon or something.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No, you did not nice.

This dude was so flippant and he was just so
like arrogant about the fact that he was cheating on
his wife, and it was like it was no big deal.
And then when everyone thought, well maybe it's an open relation,
(36:24):
people are in the comments going, maybe it's an open relationship.
You didn't listen to the whole thing yet, did you,
And then they go back and go, Nope, never mind,
because any later goes no, it's not saying her name
on the air. People now trying to find her, and
there were sleuths on the internet trying to find who
this woman is. We probably need to find who she is.
And give her a heads up about the whole thing.

won a big lawsuit. Oh, he won a big lawsuit.
Amy's still touring.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
I was gonna take because he hadn't had a hidden
a minute.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
He's doing stand up comedy now stop it. No he is.
He's the Eyes.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Yes, he was in Chicago for New Year's Eve. He
did a comedy show here. Really, Yep, he's funny.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I didn't know that. I don't know about his comedy
career though.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Throwback, throw Down, name that tune Battle zero zero zero
zero cam It won the Year last year, we reset.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
It's anyone's game. Yep? Is this your year? Kiki? I'm
feeling strong.
Speaker 5 (02:17):
I don't think it's my year, but I'm feeling strong.
And you know I love this game, win or lose,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So it's a throwback. Name that tune game.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
We defined a throwback, well, the suits did as six
and a half years are older, because I was going
way back and I still will sometimes you should. But
then they were like, well, I no, we knows those songs. Okay,
Well the point is not the point, is it? The
people in the room playing the game know the song.
That's the point of the game. So some of these
I'm like, this is this is seven years old? I
feel like it was yesterday. We'll do that waiting by
(02:47):
the phone this morning? Why did somebody get ghosted? And
more coming up. I'm about to save you, Kiki, save me.
I'm about to save you right now. You're gonna thank
me later. We don't need a wedding swing. We don't
need a photo shoot a you all over the place.
We don't need fireworks, we don't need pyrotechnics. We don't
need four bands, we don't need venue changes, we don't
(03:07):
need you levitating in we don't need raisin canes afterwards,
We don't need anything.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Right, what are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Research suggests that how much couples spend on their wedding
may influence the chance that their marriage lasts.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Who cares about that? Who cares if it last?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You know, we had a good time.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You just want to have a big day, and it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
We already made it this far and by that point
it will be what nine years have been together, nine
and a half years by the time you get to
the altar. But who cares if it all melts down
right away? As long as it was a great night.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
We had a good run. We went out with a bang.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Studies showed the couples who spend more than about twenty
thousand dollars on their weddings are significantly more likely to
divorce later than those who spend a more modest amount,
while lower costs serrem wait spend more than twenty on
their wedding are significantly more likely to divorce.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Yeah, okay, so.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
The more you that's why the way right quickly, The
more you spend, the more likely you already get divorced.
According to this lower cost ceremonies tend to be linked
with stronger long term marriages. The takeaway, keeping wedding expenses
reasonable and avoiding starting married life under heavy financial strain
might actually help your relationship thrive. I've been saying this.
(04:23):
You've been saying this, single guy, never engaged, never married.
I've been telling you guys how to do it.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Gives good advice, though you do I I'll give you
that part.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
That's your thing.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, I have a lot of opinions and a lot
of perspectives. I've made a career out of it. It
doesn't mean that I could live my own life properly
that No one said that. That was not part of
the deal. No, did you say twenty thousand dollars? Twenty
thousand dollars? It still seems really cheap, well right, I mean,
but yeah, seems more twenties the threshold. So people spend
you know, a lot more than that, I guess. But
(04:54):
oh yeah, I'm assuming. So I said, you don't even
have to spend a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, I know I have to.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
But you know, I agree at this study, and I'm
sure is very true because think about it, you don't
you don't go into your marriage with a bunch of debts.
The more money you spend means the more people you
have at your wedding, The more people you have in
your wedding, So there's probably less family drama, you know,
and so you're not good for them.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I want to take a quick survey, though, eight five, five, five,
three five You can contact the same number. First of all,
did you spend a ton of money on your wedding?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
One? Two? Are you still married? Three? Was it worth it?
Truly worth it?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Four?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
What's your favorite calling?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
What is your social Security number? And your mother's maiden name.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
I'm serious, I mean I said this a thousand times
and reference to a bunch of different people's weddings. It's
like I don't remember what I ate at ninety nine
percent of the weddings I've been to. I remember, like
some of the cool stuff, Like I remember at the
end somebody brought out like sliders or something at the.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
End, some of McDonald's cheeseburgers at the very very end
of it. That's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Yeah, I love the drunk food.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I mean that's cool, but like that is the job,
is right, the cheapest part of the nine somebody rand
ran on down there and you know, ordered one hundred
hamburgers and passed them out at the end. I mean
I could have done that for you.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I get a door dash it for less than you spent.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
I will say, the most fun weddings I've been to
are the ones that are more chill like. I just
like thinking of all the weddings I've been to, like
in a barn with solo cups or you know.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Just like a chill but keeping it simple. And maybe
it wasn't as much money to do it that way.
I mean, who knows, maybe the barn with the solo
cups actually logistically was very.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Expensive or hard to do. I don't know. It was
at their barn and there it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Was in West Virginia, and okay, yeah it was.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It was the weddings that were intended to look simple. No,
but like they were in the middle. Like I went
to one wedding I didn't know what I was getting into.
It was somewhere in Colorado, I can't remember brecon.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Ridge, Steamboat. Maybe steamboat was in Steamboat.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
It was in the middle of a forest.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, there was like a clearing and it literally was
just chairs and trees, and I'm like, well this now,
of course we were all busts there on luxury. I mean,
this was this wedding probably customely nice luck and actuality.
It probably could, but like at first, it's very simple. Yeah,
Like we pull up, there's like trees, the forests, and
like there was I think I think there was like
(07:10):
there were drinks and water in plastic cups, and I'm like,
okay or something like very very simple. We walk into
this you know, this opening and the forests and there
was chairs and I'm like, okay, very simple. Only for
us to be led down this path through this entire
village that they built in the middle of the forest
with like glass tops, and oh my god, it was
over the top and it was cool and I had
(07:32):
a good time and I set it a good table
and it was all good. And these people had a
lot of money, so fine. But at first I'm thinking
the buses were the mostly like this is a campsite,
like this is no big deal.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Oh my god, No, this was a whole thing.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And then I later went it was like in Conde
Nast or one of those you know, like Vanity Fair
or something like one of these venues that like famous
people tried, and you know, people line up for years
to get into this thing. And I'm going and they're
a nice couple, they're still married, they have kids, they're
wonderful people. I hope to say together forever. But I'm thinking, man,
there was a teepee. They had a tpe erected at
this thing. I may not with some lady at a wedding. Yeah, yeah,
(08:09):
so I remember all of that.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Maybe I'm full of it. I am, well, I am
full of it, But yeah, you need a tepee.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I need Oh my gosh, if you make out with
someone at Kiki's wedding, that would make me so happy.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I think I want to know everybody at Kiki's wedding.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
So no, no, no, no, I got so many women
lined up for you at my wedding.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
HEREO side contest you're doing where you can buy one
hundred dollars raffles. I see what you're You're selling raffle
tickets so you can have the worst night of your life.
And as a wedding date, I'm not a good wedding date.
I'm I'm not a good because if dancing is the
main entertainment thing at the wedding.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I don't. I'm not a dancer.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh yeah, Shelley's wedding. We were trying to get you
out there and you were like, no, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
No, but none of them maybe you were dancing, but
a few of us in the group we all sat
in the corner and didn't dance, like I didn't feel alone,
not want to do dance. And then Shelley's sister came
over and like bullied me. She wanted do yeah, and
I didn't because at that point, because we came, we
were invited later in the evening, so everybody was ready
to go when we arrived, and we were not. We
(09:11):
were not prepared for I wasn't prepared for that. I
should have pre party for two hours before I should
have to be, you know, in line with these people.
I think Mike had a shirt off by that point,
which is not uncommon for military Mike, Shelley's husband to
have his shirt off. But yeah, no, hey, Natalie, how
you doing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Natalie?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
You eloped, You've been married for eight years and so
it cost you very little.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I assume very little, Okay, and we go ahead.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
We decided we weren't gonna do all that wedding stuff,
especially since when we're getting married, we saw so many
people get divorced, especially in our families, and we said,
we're not going to waste our time. If this isn't
going to be ten years, we're not going to do
a big party for.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
What that's interesting?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Like what if you had a really simple wedding and
then you celebrate making it past the national average with
like a big shin digue, and then you could save
slowly for that and make it exactly what you want.
You have all this time because you don't have to.
You can do it ten years, you can do it fifteen,
you do twenty something like that. So you didn't spend
a lot of money, and you're happy and you're together,
and you're not broke.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
At least not from that, not from that for sure,
broke right right exactly.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You're not broker than broke. Then thank you, Natalie, have
a good day too. I'm glad you called Sonia. How
you doing, Sonia?
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Oh, I'm doing great, Bread, how are you doing well?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
You're about to blow up my theory because you spent
less than ten k and.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Your divorce.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
You got it.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
It was one hundred and fifty people less than ten k.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Granted that was twenty fourteen, so prices were cheaper, But
the theory does not check out.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
All right, So out Layers, if you had it to
do over again, would you've just had a bigger wedding,
because why not? I mean, did you get the wedding
that you wanted and it didn't work out? I mean
did you try and save on it?
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Yes, yes, we tried to save on it. And I
would do it over again because Fred, my friends still
say this was the best party they've ever went to.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Okay, this is the best party I've ever thrown.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Each doesn't want to hear from a lot of people.
I hear that. And this is what Kiki's saying too.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
It's like, look, look, yeah, the wedding whatever, whatever, But like,
this is my time to shine. This is my time
to have my night, my way, do it how I want.
And if it costs ever much, it costs, by it, and
if it melts down that we still had a great night.
I look at it too, pragmatically, just like everything else.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Perfect. Hey, love you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Hey have a good day. Fred hit or Lawrence back
for twenty twenty six. This is a woman who for
the last two years, has told us she's forced to listen,
but yet listens every day, probably more than most people.
Fred starting out twenty twenty six with how many girls
he soaked up with?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
When did I even say that?
Speaker 3 (11:51):
You're always bragging?
Speaker 2 (11:53):
That last segment is next where we do the daily
tote board of how many people I've hooked up with?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
You we haven't got in there. You're ahead of yourself,
Fred Hayter Lauren Lauren.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Wait for Jason and I's podcast where we have every
woman on.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Yes, Oh my god, they'll never run out of the
podcast that we write and we miss. We have fun.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
You have to datum.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You always bring them around and we get attached to
These kids are happy. Jason and I loved and we're like,
where are they?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Everybody I've never dated is married with kids are happy
now and when they weren't happy with me, makes perfect sense.
They're satisfied with their lives. They feel fulfilled. What do
you mean? I just I love this person because I
don't know what show you're listening to, but it sounds
better than the one that we're doing.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Hey Aaron, how you doing?
Speaker 7 (12:47):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Aaron? I don't know, you know? They say that like,
what is that saying about hater? Is?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Like, I think our haters spend way more time with
this show than the people that like it.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Haters are your motivators. I mean, it's I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
You know, if you don't like it, you like it.
I don't care. Listen as long as it's possible. I
appreciate your loyalty either way, whether it's love or hate. Aaron,
are you Are you on the lover of the hate side?
I'm just curious.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Oh, I'm I'm on the love party.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
This is great, this is fine. You how much have
you spent on your wedding?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Seventy thousand dollars?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Seventy thousand dollars and what is a rum roll? Please?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Seven d seven zero?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, seven zero, seventy thousand dollars and drum roll? Where
are we at.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Three years definitely married and expecting our first baby?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I think so this is poppy cock? Then, is what
you're saying this twenty thousand dollars thing?
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Yeah, no, that's crap.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
I mean maybe now it's twenty five it would be
probably a lot more to get what I got, But
I'm a kiki.
Speaker 7 (13:47):
It's like the day of your life. I give you
what you want.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
And honestly, my husband helped me get like the green wedding.
Speaker 7 (13:53):
So when you find the right one, you side together and.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Set up there you go, why not, Aaron, have a
good day. Thanks for calling and for listening. Coming someone
sectioned Fred is good luck?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Chuck? I am? I am. You know you date me
and you're like, I need to get my life together,
and then you go find someone and get married. It's fine.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Now, I will say there have been two cycles of
my life where people get married, and then there's two
cycles of my life where they come back. And we're
entering into one of those again now where some of
the ones from the past are beginning to emerge again.
The problem is some of them are not divorced yet. Hi, Sarah,
how you doing. It's a nasty world out there.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Good morning?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'm good.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
How are you Sarah?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
How much you spent great? And thanks for listening. You
spent how much on your wedding? And where are we at?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
It was about twenty two thousand. We were in Urbana, Illinois,
very very small venue.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
She had just started out.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Honestly, we spent more on our open bar than we
did anything else.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yep, okay, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
So essentially, though you've written here, you had a barbecue wedding,
spent twenty two K, and you're still together.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yes we are, and we actually moved to Georgia started
listening from Georgia.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Okay, thank you very we appreciate that, Thank you so much.
And so maybe this twenty thousand dollars thing is right,
because twenty two that's closed. So and you guys are happy,
So thank you, Sarah, Yes, thank you. Having they put
us on a radio station in Georgia. Somewhere we need Georgia.
We got North Carolina on lock doing great North. We
got North Dakota on lock. Well, no, no one's listening
(15:25):
to Charlotte that no one even knows exists. And then
but Raleigh, Raleiah, Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
They love us in Raleigh, apparently, God bless you. Brandon, Brandon,
you I'm talking to you.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Brandon Hates says, yeah, Brandon decided to hang up sixty
five grand still married, he said, So, I don't know,
maybe this is all BS, Yes it is, but I
can see a world where it would make sense that
if you don't spend as much money and you don't
feel as much pressure to you know, because a lot
of people are going into big, major debt for this.
I mean, who's gotten seventy thousand dollars you laying around
(16:02):
so you're going into dad. I'd say the same thing
about rings. People spend all this money on a ring.
Good for you if you can afford it. But if
you can, now you've got these payments and this pressure.
So now you started your life together with all these
bills that you have to pay, and yet you're still
trying to figure out how to navigate, you know, being
in a relationship, being together. So I just think it
would be prudent to maybe just spend what you can
(16:22):
afford and then you know, build on it as you
as you stayed together the longer.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Would you guys be pissed if you traveled?
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I told you guys off the air that I have
friends who like, had this big wedding in Spain and
it was in vogue and it was so elaborate, and
not even less than a year later, they're already divorced. Like,
would you guys be pissed if you like traveled all
that way and.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
He's a guest. Yes, if I was a guest, I'd
be hot.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, did you enjoy yourself though? Because you went to Spain?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I didn't go, but it looked beautiful. A lot of
my friends went.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I guess I would have to ask them, but I'd
be like the data for experience. Yeah, it's crazy though,
date for ten years, you have this huge wedding and
then what could happen?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah with a year.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
That's this is why I sometimes wonder if I'm better
off just dating someone forever. You'll give him a ring
in the commitment, because explain to me, like, how are
you to get it for a decade? I know, and
then divorce within a year. The only thing that change
was that you went to Spain and got married, so
you know what I mean? Like, what do we just
skip that part? And they're probably still together.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
I have a friend that's been engaged for five years
and I don't know if they'll ever get married, which
I think is an interesting one.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Like well and Camlin.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
People hear me say this or us talk about this,
and they're like, wellther he has a commitment issue or whatever. No,
I don't like I would get with we get together,
we can move in together. But perhaps separate houses connected
with a tunnel of some kind, and then a ring
and the whole thing. It has nothing to do with
seeing other people. It has nothing to do with variety,
has nothing to do with the concern about being with
one person for the rest of my life. It has
everything to do with the thing falling apart, because you
(17:51):
see it all the time. People date forever and ever
and ever, they get married and then it just melts down.
Why it's got to be a mental thing.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Matt. You spent five grand on your wedding. It's not
even five grand.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Okay, Well tell me about it. I mean, tell me
what your five thousand dollars wedding, because I bet it
was dope.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yeah, yeah, the show.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
We had about fifty to seventy five guests, not sure exactly.
Wedding on the river, beautiful venue.
Speaker 8 (18:17):
We decorated everything ourselves, had a barbecue, catering done.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
I love it and and we're together yep in married
twelve years.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Okay, So the point for my not my theory, but
this is the research theory. You have a barbecue, Thank you, Matt.
Have a good day's well. All Christian can be that Christian,
you spent seven hundred dollars. What amazing?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
What did you spend it on?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Honestly, I think the judge was about.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Two hundred and fifty.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, she bought a dress. I bought a suit and
uh room, Okay, yeah we got We got married in
the literally.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
In the beginning of COVID, so it was twenty twenty.
It kind of worked out perfect because me and me,
me and the wife, we don't really like big events
when we have to pay for fluff people, and so
we were outside at a.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Forest reserve pretty much.
Speaker 7 (19:22):
They allowed us to use some force reserve for free.
We set up our family set up for us. We
had about twelve people only, and the judge came out
at the wedding. We zoomed it to everybody everybody could
be on zoom and watched the wedding that had about
one hundred some people.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
But yeah, we didn't.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
Have to pay for over that. And then we closed
on a house.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Michael a week and a half later.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
So see, and that was smart because you probably wound
up spending your money on that instead, and that probably
will work out that in the long term.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Good for you, Christian, have a good day. That's awesome
you too, we see, and he.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Makes an excellent point too. Think about Kiki, you don't
have to say, like specifically, then how many people are
coming your.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Wedding two hundred and fifty?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
WHOA.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Now, you're not going to answer this question honestly because
I don't know that many people would. But of the
two fifty, truly truly, how many would you demand attend?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
What percentage? Twenty seventy five?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Okay, even then, so's twenty five percent of the people there,
which is what about seventy people? I'm just off the
top of my head, are fluff for people that you're
paying however, howmver much money for?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
They don't have to be there, yes, And I think
that's true at every wedding. You know, it's all my
mom's you know, coworker has to be there, my dentist
from kindergarten has to be there.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
My Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
These people are there and you're paying for this, but
like they are not essential to the operation.
Speaker 5 (20:47):
Yes, but you know, I don't want I'm like making
people feel left out.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You know.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
I like to be invited to everything, so I feel
like everybody should be invited.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Okay, but see, there you go.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
That is money that you're having to spend on something
that if you just hey, if.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
If you can do the United Center, I would do it.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I know we can get into All State Arena.
Speaker 8 (21:08):
Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So you know, this is a just a hodgepodge of topics,
stuff that we think you should notice starts your morning,
and usually it's uh, you know, not real serious, not
really politics, mostly opinion. But I would remiss if I
didn't bring up quickly a serious story. An immigration cracked
down of Minneapolis turned deadly yesterday when a federal immigration
(21:32):
officer fatally shot a woman.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Unfortunately, this is.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
A story we're gonna have to keep an eye on
because the governor there, Tim Wallston, at his office, is
gathering information about the shooting. At a press conference that
he has ordered the Minnesota National Guard to be ready
to deployed, to be deployed to the state. Tragic, very tragic.
And then a tragic shooting in Salt Lake City last
night as well. So I hate to start like that,
(21:57):
but don't worry. We'll make a hard pivot now right
to wegovy because you know, you know, I love talking
about weight loss drug.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Might just as well just have a segment in the report.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, well, because it's a lot of it, because money
was the pill. And then I shared with you my
bitterness about the people who are gonna look hotter than
me for taking a pill that I could easily take.
I'm just concerned that I'm going to grow like a
tail or, a you know, some kind of limb I
don't need, or something like that. I just think it's
too easy, and I don't have any scientific research to
back that up. And if you need it, take it.
If it helps your life, take it great. But if
(22:30):
you don't want to get out a little treadmill, enjoy
your tail Researchers looked at data on thousands of people
who use popular weight loss injections like thozempic, wegov, and
manjoro and found a clear pattern. When people stopped taking them,
almost all the weight they lost comes back and fast.
On average, folks regain nearly a pound a month after
stopping the drugs, and we're back to their original weight
(22:53):
in about a year and a half to two years.
The improvements in things like blood pressure and cholesterol also
faded once the medication was stopped by the way.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I have no idea what I'm talking about with these things.
I'm just it's just.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Me satirically being bitter that people look hotter than I
do with less effort. That's all I'm saying. And so
I may I may grow a tail myself. It looks
so hot, right hot, With a tail, I could be hotter.
I can be skinnier. I can be way skinner. No, yeah,
I could. But scientists are basically saying that you may
have to just take these things forever, like if you start,
(23:25):
then you would have to just take it for the
rest of your life, like a life.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, lifelong thing. That's what I'm afraid of.
Speaker 9 (23:29):
I'm like, I don't want to go back on it
because I know that I will regain the weight. So
I'm doing your method, which is yet my butt on
the treadmill and go to Planet Fitness and work out.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Well, my method is to go to Planet Fitness and
work out with the giddy and the torture. But then
also lest I order insomnia cookies, so like, it's not
this is all on me, it's a thousand percent on me.
There are like four hundred pounds of cookies in my
stomach right now, because of course I ate them.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
And then went to bed, which is even.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Better for you're just sitting in there.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, I know it's not great, but I don't have
much discipline. I get a craving and I it's like
chicken breast all day, like in like you know, carrots,
and then at the end.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Of the day, I'm starving.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Why you ordered seven hundred pounds of insomnia cookies, which
are delicious, I must say it was worth it. Open
ai got health news. It's all health news. This is
right for right up your alley, Paulina.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
I'm ready, man.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Everything she does is is chat gpt Now. Open ai
has launched chat gpt health. What could possibly go wrong?
Open Aiy is launching this to deal with the two
hundred and thirty million people who ask the chatbot health
questions each week. Chat GPT Health will keep health questions
separate from other chats. Open Aiy says that it will
not use health questions to train its models. The company
(24:42):
does stress it is not intended for diagnosis and treatment
and it's not supposed to replace medical care, but to
help users navigate their own health information. And I'm sure
doctors and nurses listening. Now if you're well, doctors don't
listen to us, but nurses and whoever, maybe nurses and
a lot of nurses do.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
I think I think maybe doctor tune too.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I think we've talked about this recently because I think
this is this kind of dumbs it down for him.
You know, everything's serious and you're smart and saving lives
and this is not. So you drive in and you
just s it's a nice release to hear a bunch
of more on talking about whatever. But I'm sure you
hear this and you go, great, this is going to
make my life so much harder now, as if Google
wasn't bad enough, because I'm guilty of that.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
You know, they'll be like a bump on.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
My leg or something, and I know how I bumped
into something like it's I know how I did it,
or like an ingrown hair. I know I have a headache.
I Google like I have a headache. Oh, you have
brain tumor. And then I get all worked up about
it and I go to the doctor. Doc, I'm dead,
I died. I am dead. I have a brain tumor.
I already died. And then they're like and they always
do that. They go because they because you don't know
(25:47):
you and you work yourself up and you now your
blood pressures through the roof and now and you're all,
you know, upset, and it turns out that there's nothing
wrong with you. Take some time when I'll and go home.
And I think this is probably making everyone lives in
the medical industry more difficult. But at the same time,
if they get this dialed in, I mean, if I
would imagine that it is or will be responsible for
(26:09):
discovering things that are like deep in the textbooks that
maybe doctors don't think of right off the bat, because
we're human and we don't remember everything. So it's possible
if they get this, you know, targeted correctly, that you
could type in a bunch of symptoms and it could
spit out some stuff that like may be more rare
or some ideas that people haven't come up with. So
I suppose, but I don't think we. I don't think
Pauline and I need access to this.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
I need access all.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
No, I don't do.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Maybe doctors can have access to it because they know
what they're looking at and they know like the probabilities
and stuff. For sure, I don't need access to this.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
You don't do you have access to your health records?
Like if you're like a my chart, you have that right.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I mean, yeah, I can go look at my life.
I don't know what it means.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You got a pro there you go, so take what
you got. This is not medical advice. This is Paulina
Road advice. Take you no, take your results and put
them in CHEDGYPC.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
It's very interesting because like you and I have talked
about the spreade, like we both have high cholesterol, and
I put that into my result into chagy Bet and
they'll they'll give me like a diet to follow.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Maybe take this supplement. It's been really helpful.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
I don't need I have high cholesterol because I ate
a box of insomnia cookies. Okay, so close the mouth,
zip the lips. Okay, why can't zip the lips. I
gotta get pad, I get paid to talk baby.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Close the mouth, yes the mouth, put the cookies down.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
But like also I'm telling you, like it does help
you when you have questions on the spot.
Speaker 3 (27:24):
Well, I can't call my dad, Like, but Google sucks
diet for high cholesterol, like I could have done that prey.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So it's a chicken breast and the Carrs were.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
For Chad talks to me nice.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
No, I'm not saying it's not a useful tool.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I'm saying, like everything else, I think it probably is
leading to you know, we don't have enough, We don't
know enough as non doctors and non health professionals to
know if what we're looking at makes any sense.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
So we get worked up.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
And typically it seems Google at least seems to take
you to the worst case scenario, and then you go
to the doctor and you're all, you know, fired up,
and then they talk you down. At least that's how
it goes with me. There's also new alcohol guidance. Some
people might like this, according to the new US dietary
guide lines. The Trump administration released a new federal dietary
guideline yesterday, and they say that they made a change
(28:06):
in the alcohol The guidelines now simply tell Americans to
limit them instead of giving specific drink limits. Previous guidelines
said that men should have no more than two drinks
a day and women no more than one. And by
the way, doctor Oz is the one leading this this information.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I just you know, ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
It runs Medicare and medicais.
Speaker 7 (28:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
I talked to him like two weeks ago. Yeah, you
two did?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
I did?
Speaker 9 (28:29):
Yeah, he was on my iHeartRadio community affairs show, doctor
did you tell you to drink up?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
No, he's actually no, he actually told me, he say,
recently we talked about the Way Lost drugs too.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, he's you know, he's smarts.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
Right right, So I was like, you know what, let's
keep it at this, Let's keep it a book like
a right, Let's just keep this right worth. Yeah, he's
got lots of I talked to doctor Oz the other day.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
I know that was not a sentence that it was
on my bingo part for today. It wasn't another sort
of well, very serious story. But Nick Reiner, remember this
was a couple of weeks ago, of course, allegedly killed
his parents. He was not arraigned as expected yesterday, and
said the high profile defense attorney Alan Jackson, my boy, Yes,
the Karen Reid guy withdrew from the murder case. With
(29:24):
the court approving the switch to a public defender. The
judge set a new arraignment date for February, and he said, yeah,
I agree with that. That's what he said in court.
The New York Times reports that these significant departure macing
jests at the Reiner family, Nick has two siblings, have
distanced itself from mister Reiner and his legal case, at
least financially, because you know, Ali Jackson is not cheap, no,
(29:45):
and also interesting. A friend of mine who's an attorney,
pointed this out. He did Karen Reid's second trial for free,
so he might he really believed in her and that
she was in it, and of course good things I'm
coming for him from that. He had no problem walking
away from this when an allegedly speculation is that he's
not getting paid. So he did say on the way out,
(30:07):
this guy's not guilty. He did say that, But I
part of me wonders like if he really truly believed
in this guy's innocence so that he could get him
off and that this would thrust him into the spotlight
yet again and justice would be served.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
If he believed that, then why.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Is he walking I trust Alan with my life, Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
Mean I would hire him if I could afford him.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Yeah, but usually that means like you're in a sticky spot, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I don't really want to have to hire a criminal
defense attorney and prefer not to you know, but if
it ever happens, I hope you'll call Alan for me.
He'll come bail me out. And finally, a nice story.
Policed in north Haven, Connecticut, got a handwritten apology in
the mail from a young girl who accidentally dialed nine
to one one thinking that the phone that she was
using was a toy. The note, from a child named Lily,
(30:50):
said sorry for calling nine one one ihot, I thought
it was a playphone and promised she wouldn't do it again.
The North Haven Police Department shared her sincere letter on
social media, reassuring her that things happen and turning the
moment into a lighthearted message about responsible phone use. The
post has since drawn smiles and plenty of convention parents
who've heard similar stories. That's very nice, that's nice, well rounded.
(31:12):
Today we went serious, we win, We went went back
and forth. I really pulled on your heartstrings and your
emotions today to mess. It's National Career Coach Day, National
bubble Bath Day, and National joy Germ Day. Reminds people
that by being positive as I am in twenty twenty six, yeah,
and treating people with kindness, you can influence those around
them and pass that positive attitude onto others, which is
(31:34):
why positivity in twenty twenty six from your.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Boy right here scares me a little. It's a four dayden.
It's working.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Okay, you're smiling really hard. I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
That's the caffeine. Caitlin's Entertainment reports on the.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Fresh show he did, Rivalry star Hudson Williams says a
number of current professional athletes across several major sports have
reached out to him to share the stories about being
closeted throughout their careers. The twenty four year old actors
shared the revelation while talking to Andy Cohen about the show.
I think that interview drops today and the show if
(32:10):
you have not heard about it, if you are not
chronically online. It follows two secretly gay and by professional
hockey players as they navigate a romance throughout their careers.
There's subplots of other similar storylines as well, and Hudson
said that he and the author of the books that
the show is based on have heard from hockey players,
football players, and basketball players through both emails or dms
(32:34):
on Instagram. So the show is, you know, I think
making people feel seen and comfortable reaching out, which is
probably very.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Special for him to be a part of that.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
T Pain just made his mama cry tears of joy
after surprising her with a new private jet reported forty million.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
I thought, you say, Ci, I thought we had a whole.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Conversation about Tis. Yeah, and that's why I was like,
how does t I have so much money?
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Yeah, I said to Paint.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
The whole conversation was about and I'm like, big things popping, right,
He's got money like that he does.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
But that's yeah, that makes more sense. But I will
say I also see I see this stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
I see T Pain flying around in pj's and stuff
and that buying pj's, and I go, wow, I didn't
know he had to like that either.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Oh yeah, No, I don't feel the same way about
Ti that I feel about T Pain.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
So I'm so sorry for and okay, wow, I have
to Okay, my bad.
Speaker 4 (33:29):
I thought, I said t Pain but Pain right, I
was thinking, I'm sprung like you guys don't like that.
He actually promised her to buy her a PJ as
a teenager, and he said like, one day, I'm gonna
buy you this jet. When I become successful, and so
he fulfilled that promise. He's already bought her a house.
Businesses made sure she lives like a queen, which I
think we all wish we could do for our parents
(33:51):
or the people that raised us. Peacock is rolling out
a new audio feature for sports fans that could change
how people watch live games.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
The streaming service is int grating advanced.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Dolby sound technology that will let viewers customize their audio experience,
including the ability to mute play by play announcers or
adjust crowd, noise and commentary levels during broadcasts. This means
if you'd rather hear the crowd or the pure sounds
of the action without commentary, you'd be able to do that,
which would be interesting.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
They say that these enhancements are designed.
Speaker 4 (34:21):
To make live sports feel more immersive and give fans
more control over how they enjoy NFL, NBA and other games.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Jason, how do you like to watch your games?
Speaker 8 (34:30):
I like I usually turned down the announcer because it's
usually that one guy that annoys me with the southern ass.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, well, you don't have to watch ESPN eight don't know.
That's like an alternate broadcast.
Speaker 2 (34:46):
Will listen to the main I know you have seventeen
TVs in your house and you're always streaming sports, but
like you don't have to watch every one of them.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
Yeah, you know that like pool party outside in Vegas
where they have all the screens.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's that actually is modeled after your back Ye, exactly,
bottle girls and everything.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Do you also charge one hundred and thirty dollars for
two drinks?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
That's what I paid.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Yeah, normally I will deliver it to you. Okay, good, perfect? Yeah,

I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Maybe a t I one too, But he got enough
love on necessarily, Like I just I didn't know he
had that.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
I was like, what the hell?
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Big things popping for me? If that came on, I'm
not mad about it. Yeah, I don't know, because big
things popping, bring them out, bring them out. Yeah, that's
all right, But anyway, I want to make sure I
contribute to the Private Jet fund because if I could
buy my mama PG, I would.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Yeah. Instead, I think I got her like a mug
off Amazon or something.
Speaker 3 (35:59):
No, you did not nice.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Mog keeps things cold or hot, so that that was cool.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
We'll do blogs or audio journals. Next, Waiting by the Phone,
Why did somebody get ghosted? We'll investigate yesterday's new Waiting
by the Phone. People are unhinged, and they should be.
This dude was so flippant and he was just so
like arrogant about the fact that he was cheating on
his wife, and it was like it was no big deal.
And then when everyone thought, well maybe it's an open relation,
(36:24):
people are in the comments going, maybe it's an open relationship.
You didn't listen to the whole thing yet, did you,
And then they go back and go, Nope, never mind,
because any later goes no, it's not saying her name
on the air. People now trying to find her, and
there were sleuths on the internet trying to find who
this woman is. We probably need to find who she is.
And give her a heads up about the whole thing.
