Hey girl, I like them jeans. Let me get up finilm.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Yeah, I would feel fairly confident that you were not,
in fact hitting on a woman if you were to
deliver the message in that way. Well, Fread's show is on.
Jason and I were once at a bar after a
few beverages and I made him do straight Jason to
the bartender. Now, we warned her ahead of time, but
she was appalled. She was shocked. She was taken aback.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, she couldn't believe that there was someone so attractive,
sitting right in front of her.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
And she clutched her pearls.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
She try to take me home right then and there.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
No, she did. That's that's what I mean when I
say it wasn't that she was in shock and appalled
by the way that you represent straight men or the
way that you believe that straight men represent themselves, which
in many cases we do. Wow, it was aggressive.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yeah, she said take me here and now.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But I said no, one, no, no, you didn't. You
didn't take her there or whatever.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
No, she's open.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
You know, she's still there waiting to be taken at
the bar. She has been three years. Yeah, exactly. You
said you'd come back, and you never did, like I
never did, like a lot of people's fathers on this show. Jason,

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Tyler Perry getting sued for two hundred and sixty million.
R Kelly rushed to the hospital and I will tell
you who is releasing some of their DNA to people
in hopes they might clone him of celebrity.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I see, I see, guys. I didn't know you could
do this, Jason. You have a lot of power. I
don't know if you knew this as a as a reverend.
Oh okay, of course you were. You were an ordained minister, right.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I thought you meant as a gay in Pride month
because I have a lot of power.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Well you haven't. I don't limit that to just Pride moms.
So as far as I'm concerned, you're powerful every month
of the ink of the year, every week of the year,
every day of my life. Because basically, anything I want
in my life I have to ask you for permission,
Like that's you're the gatekeeper pervision. It's like, hey, can
we do this promotion? Can we give this away? Can
I have this? Can I give this this? And so

(03:05):
I mean there's one person to call. It's just thinking.
Let me ask Jason. Let me ask Jason. Jason will know.
Let me ask Jason. But you and I are both
ordained ministers, so apparently you can do this. I didn't
realize this, but a thirty six year old woman in
Texas secretly convinced of reverend to officiate a marriage without
her forty two year old ex boyfriend present after they

(03:27):
broke up, but obtained a license on June second. So
this woman's name is Kristim. She then filed the science
certificate with the County Clerk's office. Her ex only discovered
the marriage when a package containing the certificate and a
photo of her holding the license arrived at his Beverly Hills,
Texas home. Beverly Hills, Texas. This is some classy stuff.

(03:49):
The woman was arrested on third degree felony stocking charges
and it is being held on a ten thousand dollars bond.
The x must now begin the legal process to annul
this unauthorized marriage. I know you could do that. So
I can sign a marriage. You can get a marriage
license without the other person, and then I can sign
it as a reverend. Or you can sign it and
then it's done.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Oh oh my gosh, I'm going to get married to
Anderson Cooper.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Today, right, Like how do you not need both people
present to say, Like I can't just walk in and
be like that's right.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Well, I'm assuming he signed like illegally, like saying that
the dude was there because she had to convince him.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, but he has to sign it, like a marriage
license is signed by both people and the reverend is
the witness.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
I got it.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah, yeah, whatever, You've been married four times, You've tried
to marry yourself to when many many times, and so yeah,
I mean Key's tried to You've tried with his omarion
many times and they keep telling you, well, where is
mister o'marion? Yes, it worked, Like he has to be

(04:51):
present for this.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
She had her dress on and everything.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
I know.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
It was.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
It was beautiful.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
It was it was. It was beautiful if you noticed this.
But like the rule are very loose when it comes
to like what I ow to lawless Land, Like I'm
officiating wedding on Friday, and so I had to call
like the county office to like tell them like declare
that I wasn't afficiant or whatever you did. Yeah, like

(05:15):
I guess in Illinois or in this county, like I
have to call. So I called and I was like, well,
do you need like, you know, documentation, you need to
sign something. And they're like, oh, well, so you have
to sign, like you said, the marriage license. But then
if you want to send like a copy of your
certificate that you're ordained, like you can, but it's not mandatory.
I'm like, so I could just be like anybody calling
up here and saying I'm gonna do anything, and they're like, okay.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, my understanding is that the marriage license is like
that's what makes it legal, and religion or you know,
being ordained or whatever has nothing to do with that.
So in theory, you walk out of that office and
you're married and the rest is spiritual. And I don't
think the state or the county or whatever. I don't
think most can tell you, like who can, it cannot

(05:57):
what's considered spiritual.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
That makes sense.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Because like I've never filed anything with anyone. In fact,
to be honest, my parents my sister wanted me to
officiate their wedding and at the time they were not
sure about Colin not only Colin more than Amanda, there's
no doubt about that. So and my dad all of
a sudden became very religious. He's a spiritual guy, but like,
we don't go to church, and I don't think I don't.

(06:21):
I didn't realize he cared, but he thought it was
kind of like a game. Like at first he was offended,
like why why would you do it? Why wouldn't we
get like a real religious figure to do it. And
the argument was, well, we don't go to we're getting
married in Arizona. They were they don't live there, they
don't go to church there, they don't know anybody there,
so like a lot of people, they would have to
hire some random person to do this who they don't know.

(06:45):
And so they were like, well, at least he knows us,
and there's no legal thing that we're not that religious,
so let him do it. And then my parents get
this right idea that like maybe this isn't legal, so
let him do it, because like if things fall apart,
maybe we'll find out that this never even happen, because
I can't believe my son would have the ability to
sign on this, like how could that even be?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Oh yeah, but they were so they.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Were hoping it. But I think what they didn't realize
was that the license is what makes it legal, not
not me signing it.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Right, So yeah, as long as you have the license,
it's fine. I got asked over the weekend last weekend
if I would baptize like somebody. I don't know if
I'm allowed to do this, you know that, but I wouldn't.
I'm going to try.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
You are you're going to baptize somebody?

Speaker 2 (07:24):
I mean, all you need is some water?

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Oh you know, yeah, if you go to the website
for the Universal Life Church where you and I are
both ordained, and I think we both purchased a seventy
nine ninety five package premium where we both got all
the things that the clergy parking pass for the hospital anyway,
clergy parking past right, yes, yes, so that I can

(07:47):
park right, I can't right, they claim, they claim you
can do baptism. Last rights marriages, so like a wedding
fine like to except case of this woman where one
person didn't know that he was married. Both people choose
that right.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
But like, I'm not messing with death and I'm not
messing with birth. I'm just not I have no business
baptizing anyone, And I certainly have no business telling you
what's up on the way out, like like your interview. Yeah,
I hear you dying. Yeah, I'm here.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I mean really, it was a family member that asked
me because they're not religious. They're not like super religious,
so they're like, we just want to do it so
we can tell the rest of the family that it's done.
So like okay, like literally we might just go in
like my parents' kitchen sink and.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Like knock it out, you know what, Jase, I don't.
I don't think you should do that.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
I have a name tag, like it's legit, it has
a cross on it, it's little period, So I don't.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
I have the name tag. I have the clergy parking paths.
I came with the books certificate official. Oh yeah, certificate.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
I want to get in on this business.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, it could be my bookie.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
It takes about seven minutes and most of that's entering
your credit card and the U two can be ordained.
No training, there's nothing, and I cannot believe that it's legal,
but it is legal.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Formal fee. I will do any of your sacraments that
you want me out, but I think I've married now
I've officiated. Well, there were three lesbian couples at once,
that's not a joke. We did that, and then my
sister and then a friend of the family. I mean,
I think now at this point, I've married like six
seven people. He almost had my wedding, yeah, except that Elvis.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Church wouldn't They wouldn't let you. But then Elvis didn't
do it. No doing with a moon.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Box day, right, So like, come on, what kind of business?

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Was very offended because you were even offering to pay
them whatever that was, because I think it was about money, right,
Like they didn't want me to do it because they
could make the up charge on the guy who lifts
his arm, right or whatever exactly. Hey, Kim, good morning, Kim,
good morning. Your uncle officiated your wedding. And they never
asked for any proof of anything.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
No, And he was very funny.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
He was like, I have to go to Jesus school,
Like I have to go online.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Jesus school. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, all right.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
And I was like, okay, So we got married and
he sent me all this documentation to like send with
the license to the county. And when I sent it
in you just had to select yes that like he
was ordained and I was like, what if he's not?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Yeah, because I guess they really can't. Like the state
can't tell you how you were ordained, right, like they
whatever you believe or whatever religion or I don't I
don't think they can get involved with that. I think
all they can get involved with is the part where
they figure out how to tax you.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'll figure that out.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Yeah, I don't know, so, Kim, I think you're legally married.
So congratulations, Thank you so much.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
I would hope so.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
But if you need anyone to back that up, Jason,
I would be happy to come over and and if
anyone needs baptizing, apparently Jason will do that now as well,
which I think is a bad idea, right last right
services as well. I hope you never need those, Kim,
but you know you will someday, So do hit me up. Yeah,
just give us a call at this number. Okay, you
can call him text. I have the text open on

(11:09):
my phone all the time all day because I like
to be tortured, basically like texting the radio station is
texting me personally. Now at this point, I did I
keep it open all day, just so you can tell
me how much you hate me at three pm as
well as three am, Like it doesn't matter, there's no limit.
I'm always accessible. I have to tell you. Also, it
was very sad. Speaking of religion. This weekend, I went

(11:31):
to the funeral of our friend Kathy Beemer's mom who
passed away. Catholic Beamer. Her mom was a lovely woman
and they kept referring to her as elegant, and that
is exactly the word to describe missus. Beemer was elegant
and I couldn't quite encapsulate it, but that was what
she was. She was a wonderful woman. I met her
a few times. But the part and that was obviously
very sad. But it was a Catholic Mass funeral. Oh wow,

(11:54):
Now I grew up Catholic. Okay, I didn't make it
to confirmation. Don't tell anyone of the Catholic Church, of
the many places that I've been a godfather where I'm
not supposed to do that either, because the Catholic Church
makes it nearly impossible. They wanted like blood and right
likely you're first born, right they want? They wanted a
urine sample. I was confirmed. I'm like I don't, you know, Jason,

(12:16):
they've changed the game in the Catholic Church. They're saying
some things and I don't I grew up okay, So
I don't know how many of you are religious, and
I can only speak to being Catholic, but growing up
in the Catholic Church, you know, my Nana would make
us go most Sundays, and any Sunday that she was
watching us, we had to go. And we go to church.
And it's methodical, and it is it is, it is.

(12:38):
I don't even know how to describe it. If you're
not a Catholic. It's it's traditional. Catholic Mass is slow
and somber typically, and I know some people like it,
but it is systematic. It is exactly the same way
every time we do this, we do this, we do this,
we give a little sermon. That's the part that could change,
and then we do this and this and this, and
the prayers are the same. And even if you're not

(13:00):
paying attention, if you go enough times when you're exposed
to it, then you just know what's going to happen next,
and you know the words to say.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Oh no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
We've changed a few sections of it and it's different,
and nobody, no, it was not in the newsletter. Nobody
sent me the newsletter, Like I forget what it was?

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (13:18):
You don't say it? Also with you, you know, with
what is that about? I had no idea Helena.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Called for all of this though, like Paulina has been
leading this charge and it needed a rebrand for the left.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Also with you, what's that? Who am I offending? And
I'm sitting there in the funeral, like admittedly I'm sitting
there going, man, well, who did that offend? And also
with you, like what what group was offended by that?
Like how could that be offensive? And then there were
some other things too. I'm being honest with you. I
was so disconnected from the process. I did not take
communion because I didn't I didn't feel like I should,

(13:52):
like I'm a poser. I did feel like I feel
like I need I need to take the course. I
need to be rebaptized as something. I don't know what
they were doing full circle, No friend's biggest stories of
the day. I'm trying to get our old Bella Hamene
is trying to get our boss Jason Jason Carr everyone here.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Why what no?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean you're right there, but the other are well lesser.
Boss Jason Carr in West Palm Beach our station there
wild ninety five to five. Why because it was a
big night for him. It was a big night for
everybody in Florida because the Florida Panthers beat the Edmonton
Oilers five to one in Game six. Who went back
to back Stanley Cup titles? How about that?

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Now?

Speaker 1 (14:35):
What I want to know from our boss Jason Carr
is how he was at every Stanley Cup game? Like,
what kind of money are they paying this man? Because
I've not known anyone to be very generous lately around here,
so I don't know this man was. He was. He
was in all the games with all the people, and
I'm going, hey, wait a minute. I mean, Jason is

(14:56):
our sports reporter. How was it that these tickets were
assigned to him and nothing happened? No one consulted you
on this whatsoever?

Speaker 2 (15:03):
Couldn't even get access.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
But I'm guessing he's asleep, maybe he's hung over. I
don't know which I'm waking him up. The problem is
if I feel bad, because if you're a radio manager
and the phone rings at you know, seven something in
the morning or whatever it is. Then immediately it's well,
who's off the air? You know, I mean, it's a
terrible way to wake up, You know what I mean?
Like if I'm the boss at the radio station the

(15:25):
phone starts ringing early in the morning, is this some
kind of catastrophe. I forgot to pay the internet bill again,
and it's climbing the tower again, adjusting the tinfoil. But
I want to congratulate everybody. Yeah, who listens to us
in Florida? Your panthers won. It's exciting. And I also
want to know who paid for Jason's tickets.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
No he's not answering his phone but no, no he's not.

Speaker 6 (15:46):
I said emergency, you did not know it didn't Again,
you want to talk about panic, like even for a
morning person, Like if my phone rings and I'm if
I'm asleep and my phone starts ringing, it could be
three in the afternoon.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I jolt out of bed because I'm like, I slept
through something. I'm supposed to be somewhere. It's probably I've
missed four days of work. I slept through all of it,
like no one anyway, So I'm sorry, Jason. That's the
experience that you had, but he's not even awake, so I.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Just sent him higher. You up, winky Fish.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I remember when the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup and
it was like a four day quest to figure out
what bar they were at, and it never stopped. Like
I don't think those guys slept for four days. It
was like, where's the Stanley Cup? Now they come back
to town, they go right to a bar, like they
won five hours ago, they go right to a bar.
And then it was just non stop drunk frat boys

(16:42):
in a bus with a Stanley Cup everywhere you would go,
like for four straight days. I'm like, how do you
do that? Like do you sleep? But I guess I'll
tell you. Celebrate in the NHL and they put stuff
in the cup and they drink out of it, and
then they each get a time with the cup too,
Like each player I think gets a week with the
Stanley Cup to do whatever they want. They can take
it home and the stories of what people have done.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
I was gonna say, oh, yeah, yeah, drinking out of it.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I've held it before, and as I'm holding it, I'm like,
how much DNA is on this thing?

Speaker 4 (17:16):
You know?

Speaker 1 (17:17):
But they wouldn't let me fully hold it. They like
had another guy hold it with me like it's heavy.
I'm like, hey, I'm gonna run away with this thing.
I can't go anywhere. I can't go anywhere with him.
And hold on a second, what if players done with
the Stanley Cup? And then I saw I guess it

(17:38):
was yesterday or two days ago. He was in the
West Pond Beach airport. They like, the Stanley Cup is
in a big box, like a big you know.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
It looks like it's just some sort of like touring merchandise,
you know whatever. And it was just going down the
conveyor belt at the airport, like where you'd get your
bad It was just like and then and then I
guess somebody was like, hey, can we see it? And
the Stanley Cup holder man and like it for them
in the airport so they could. I don't think they
took it out, because the picture I saw was it
was just in its case on the ground. But they're

(18:06):
very nice about it. Here's a look at what Stanley cup.
I don't care about them. I also look up this
up later, but I was curious, like there are legends
about what people have done with the Stanley Cup during
their time to like hold on to it, and I'm
sure it's grab eating cereal out of it. Drinking out
of that's very common, like drinking booze out of it. Yeah, anyway,

(18:28):
congratulations to our friends in Florida. President Trump says he
will probably extend the TikTok deadline yet again. Thank you,
I mean, finally do something good. Something like this has
become his party trick. Like a lot of really difficult
things are happening right now. And whether you agree or
disagree with what he's doing, it's like every time things
seem to be not going great, it's but hey, but

(18:49):
TikTok's not going anywhere, and everyone's like, Okay, that's all right.
But you will most likely extend the June nineteenth deadline
for Bite Dance to sell TikTok to US operations mark
any third extension since taking office craft. Tigns is saying
goodbye to artificial dies. This is a cause that Kaitlin
is willing to die on. Yes, yes, and Jason could
perform last rites. Yes, I got if necessary. Ah, I

(19:13):
didn't even mean to do that, but thank you. Yeah,
this is why I'm gonna wind up in the Illinois
Radio Hall of Fame. It's it's stuff that I've been
I don't know. Actually, I don't know where the real
the real Radio Hall of Fame. I have no idea
where that is. Either people are getting inducted into it,
but it's not a thing anymore. It's I don't know
where it is in a hallway somewhere, so I don't
even know what it is.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
It's a concept, it's an idea.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
It was a concept that we'll never be in. So
it doesn't matter, No, it matters not. It doesn't matter
where it is because we'll never have to attend the ceremony.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Shady so hard.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Don't worry. We'll be accused of being shady, no matter
what you say, so even though we never have been. So.
New products slated for US release won't contain that dies either.
Effective immediately, Kraft tignes joins rivals, including Pepsi and Ketalog
and limiting or removing artificial dies amid a government push
to do so. The companies that almost ninety percent of
its products sold in the US today are already free.

(20:08):
General Mills has announced that it will be working to
remove artificial colors from all of its cereals in the
US as well as from foods in schools as well,
and then by the end of twenty twenty seven, from
all of its US retail portfolio. So no more of
that tasty red dye nine or whatever it is. Lord
have mercy. I mean food. It's just stilly itself, it
really is.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
I don't know what makes it good. Guys, it's just
the coloring.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
We don't need it. It'd be the same. Oh no,
I like I get extra online, but it's fine. I
can tell that's supposed to do red. Amazon is doubling
the length of its Prime Day event this year, which
is stretching the annual sale from the usual forty eight
hours to record ninety six, in the hopes that the
extra time will entice deal seeking shoppers as Americans tighten
their wallets. Also, I guess spending online is down like

(20:56):
one percent, so everyone's freaking out about it. But if
you have Amazon Prime, then you have access to Prime
Day fourteen bucks a month or one hundred and thirty
nine dollars annually, and it includes perks like expedited shipping. Now,
I am not over here made of money by any means,
but I that's one of those things. I just I
don't even they could charge me anything. And I don't think.
I don't think I know, like I don't. I don't

(21:17):
remember the last time I looked to see how much
I was paying for it. Like. That's like a lot
of things, by the way, cell phones, a lot of things,
like the insurance. I guess you're supposed to shop for insurance,
and insurance brokers could tell me this, and they probably
don't want me to say this, but I guess you're
supposed to shop for insurance every couple of years, no
matter what. I guess you're supposed to call this to
the mobile phone company to every couple of years and
be like, hey, I don't like it anymore, and then

(21:39):
we'll give it to you for you know this much?
Say well, why didn't you tell me that before?

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Right?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
What were we gonna say? I don't remember, because you
lit up, and then I was like, oh, I guess
it's gonna be great. And then then I was thinking
it was going to be great. It was going to
be really great.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
But then I started thinking about phones and who has
the time to shop around for new things?

Speaker 2 (21:57):
I got off process.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Now they were so close to the Hall of Fame
just then, and then I know I really had something
exciting to say, and I don't remember whatever it was
was going to get you in and not the rest
of us. So I appreciate it. You held back, I think.
So she comes in every day and she holds back.
She gives us fifty percent, because if she gave us
even seventy, it would only be Kaylin in the Hall
of Fame. And that it would be would be Kaylan
of the Fread Show, but not the Fread Show. And

(22:20):
a bust. I hear, you get a bust if you
get in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, a bust.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
I don't know how you get a plaque. I think
I think it's a plot. It's okay, I don't think
it's an actual statue.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
So what do you like get? You just get to
know you're in it? Uh huh, and you just can
keep I don't know, uh huh okay.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, noise, get it. It's noise, and it's nice. It's
a nice thing that I mean, I love that.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
I'd rather just have the thirteen, you.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Know, honestly, Yeah, yeah, like a nice paycheck and and
the thirteen. That would be.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Fine, and they actually exist versus the building that.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Look, if you can, by all means, if you can
get in there, if you can get in any kind
of hall of fame, good for you, congratulat and it's wonderful.
I just I don't care because we'll never get in.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (23:10):
For the first time ever, more people have streamed on
their TV than watch cable and broadcast television combined, which
I don't think that should surprise anybody, because I feel like,
for the most part, when people talk about the stuff
they're watching, it's on one of the streaming services, you know.
I mean, I can't remember the last time, honestly, and
this is not like I'm making this up, but I
can't remember the last time somebody was like, did you
see the latest PBS special? And I'm not picking on

(23:32):
I'm not picking on PBS. I just don't They don't
advertise with us, so I don't get canceled. I don't know. Actually,
you know what Sesame Street should live forever, so whatever,
But like I don't I don't know who advertised with us.
I don't want to pick on anybody, but I can't
remember the last time somebody was like, man, you got
to tune in around seven tonight. Yeah, you know, you
get your intenna out, man, or just tune in, because
even if it is on broadcast TV, I feel like

(23:53):
people still stream it. Like I don't watch All American
on the CW. Sorry, I wait till the whole thing.
It's on netflick so I can binge it. Like any
good forty year old man.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Would I now watch Bravo on Peacock like I used
to watch it on my cable, like I get cable
for free from my building, but I watch it all
on Peacock. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
So it's like, well, and it's people in the media.
I don't care how you consume it. Just consume it, please, yeah, please,
and in a timely fashion if you wouldn't buy it,
you know, but yeah, please listen in the radio in
the car. The iHeart app is fine. And then if
you can't listen, then if you could listen, you know,
within twenty four hours, that would be ideal. We really
love that, But no, I don't. I'm sure they don't care.
That's why they have all these things, because it's be

(24:32):
where the people are, isn't what they say say?

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:36):
I think I learned that in my NBA class or
something for the NBA don't have. And today we're many
stories all over the place. We're complaining. We're complaining about
the rise of the infinite work day. Many companies have
called workers back to the office that doesn't mean their
workdays and when they head home. New data from Microsoft
Today shows that one in five meetings now happens outside

(24:56):
of core business hours, time during which the average employee
also sensor receives more than fifty messages. Some sixteen percent
of meetings happen after eight pm. After eight pm, I'm
offended if you want me to go to a meeting
at two pm, ABM is crazy, right, because our work
day starts at four, So, as far as I'm concerned,
our work day's over at noon. That's so. And if

(25:19):
you want to have a meeting, like, let's have it
at ten when the show's over, ten to fifteen while
the show's ending, come in here and talk to me
while we're ending, you know, because we've already been here
then for six seven. If you work, if you work
abnormal hours, my question is how many times has that
place adjusted for you versus versus doing it the way

(25:40):
the manager wants to do it because based on a
manager's hours, because a manager has to justify his or
her existence by having a bunch of meetings. That's what
I found. I found there are meetings, meetings, meetings, meeting
meetings all the time. It's I'm telling you, it's so
that people can be like, look, I'm here, remember me,
and I'm in the office. See look at my calendar.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Look at it.

Speaker 1 (25:58):
Right, busy, busy. I don't want to be busy. Like
to call me when you need me, okay, And between
my office hours of four in noon. No, anyone listening
this really can appreciate that. I'm sure. It's like, let's
have the meeting at three o'clock, Like three o'clock.

Speaker 3 (26:14):
Right, freak, No, that's midnight for me or all the perks,
all the office perks happened at like for lunch for
everybody else.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
You know what I'm saying, Like, it's it's we're having
a picnic at one o'clock. One o'clock. I went to bed.
I'm in bed for the next day. Now I've had
a second day already. Lunch we talking about lunch. No,
it upsets me anyway. But at eight o'clock meeting, Like
if you were nine to five issue and they're making

(26:44):
you go to work at meetings at eight o'clock. No,
I don't know about that, but the emails are something
that I mean, this has been a thing for a
long time, and there is a policy run here that
after five o'clock you don't have to respond an email
till the next day, which is just not feasible. Imagine that, Jason.
Imagine if you only responded to all the emails that
you get for your seven jobs between the hours of
nine in imagine can you imagine? No?

Speaker 2 (27:07):
But also what I started doing is I delayed deliver
my email, so at eight o'clock on the dot, all
my emails go out in every one's in box, all
the emails from me, Like, there you go. You don't
want me to email during my working hours? Smare you go?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Well, we used to have a plausible deniability, you know,
because we didn't have access to email on the phone
and the Internet was a little you know, unreliable. Like
my mom, my aunt and I were talking about this
yesterday behind my mom's back. My mom till this day
will be like I didn't she said it to her everybody.
I didn't get that. No, you got the email the internet, interneted.

(27:41):
I am one hundred percent certain that that email arrived.
Now what you did with it after it arrived, I
have no idea. But one thing I can tell you
for certain, okay, is that we both live in major
metropolitan cities, and I promised you that the email was received.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
It's in my cent folder. You got it.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Definitely happened. Like we can't do the thing anymore where
it's like, oh man, you know, like the in the
early two thousands when it was a kind of blackberries,
but not everybody had one. And I know for some
people there's like Bella's listening now, going huh, you know
we didn't have internet on the phone. No, we didn't.
And then you could leave work and if you didn't
have access to a computer, then you wouldn't have gotten
the email. So there's nothing that you could do about it.

(28:20):
So nobody could get mad at you. But now if
somebody emails me and says, hey, why didn't you respond
to that email? I cannot possibly feasibly say I did
not receive it. Now it came to my phone or
my iPad or or one of my computer it. Did
it did?

Speaker 2 (28:33):
I'll fall in say I didn't see it, I didn't
read it. I'm sorry, Well say no.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
But saying you didn't read it is different than trying
to say you didn't receive it.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Oh yeah you did, taking accountability versus no, you did.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
You did, Like me sending you an email is more
reliable than me handing it to you, like, honestly, it
definitely happened, yes, but no. I think employers now, like everybody,
they expect because they know you got it, then it's
kind of like, well, why didn't you respond sooner? And
my problem is if I don't, I don't like the
little bubbles. So if I don't respond to it right away,
I make the bubble go away. And if I don't

(29:05):
do something about whatever it was, then I'll forget and
go to the next one. You know what I mean, Like,
either I'm either responding to make the bubble go away,
or I'm not responding at all, I'm deleting it. So
I think that you know it basically means that you're
kind of always working. Essentially, you're always available to be
working in some capacity.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Oh yeah, there is no disconnect.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
No, And then I think we're all now programmed to
feel uncomfortable if there were like honestly, if you were
to say, all right, no problem, then we're just going
to take your phone away after whatever time and don't
worry about it. Like you don't have to respond because
you don't have the phone. Now I'd be like itching
right way to want hold on what I'm missing right exactly,
So there's no win. We're all programmed this way.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Now.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's National want to get Away Day, so plan a
trip like Kiki, or have some friends who wont trips
and they'll take you for free, or have a sister
with money. It's National Splurge Day and National go Fishing
Day to day. Calon's entertainment report is on the Press show.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Mark Kelly was rushed to the hospital for an alleged overdose,
which his lawyers are blaming on prison staff. The singer's
legal team says he overdosed on meds given to him
by people working at the prison where he's being held.
Their claim, interesting enough, comes a week after they filed
in emergency motion seeking his release to hone confinement, claiming

(30:22):
prison officials had pressured other inmates to kill him. In
a new filing, they say he was placed in solitary confinement,
which we heard on June tenth, not long after the
emergency motion was filed. Two days later, Allegedly, prison prison
officials gave him an overdose quantity of anxiety and sleep meds.
They say he woke up feeling dizzy, tried to get up,
fell to the ground, then crawled to the door of

(30:44):
the cell and lost consciousness. He was taken by ambulance
to the hospital, but allegedly removed two days after against
medical advice, so they wanted him to stay, according to
his lawyers. Remember this is all according to his lawyers,
as he was said to receive some sort of surge
on a blood clot issue which would over required a
two week hospitals day. Lawyers claim that his life is

(31:06):
now in jeopardy right now because of the Bureau of
Prisons denying him necessary surgery to clear these clots from
his lungs. They say he could die from this condition
and they are letting it happen. The Bureau of Prisons
declined to comment. They just said it's appending litigation, so
that's really all we know. And I have been seeing
some conflicting stories, so I'll update you as I find out.

(31:28):
Of course, Tyler Perry has been hit with a lawsuit
accusing him of sexually harassing and assaulting an actor on
his BET show, The Oval. Actor Derek Dixon filed a
two hundred and sixty million dollar lawsuit accusing Tyler of
using his power to coerce him into a sexual relationship
in exchange for career advancement. Derek claims advances started after

(31:49):
he was cast in January of twenty twenty, with two
alleged assaults at Tyler's Georgia home. He says he refused,
then he faced harassment, assault, and retaliation for speaking up,
even reporting it in twenty twenty four before quitting The Oval.
The suit includes graphic details which I will spare you,
but Tyler's lawyer dismissed the lawsuit as a shakedown, denying
all allegations and calling them fabricated. And the drink company

(32:12):
Liquid Death teamed up with Ozzy Osbourne to release limited
edition iced tea cans sealed with the rocker's own DNA
aka his saliva in a lab grade container, autographed and
ready for purchase.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
The idea to give fans an opportunity to clone him.
He had a funnier quote, but I'm not sure if
I can say that on the radio, and I like
my job. Each four hundred and fifty dollars can is
marketed as a way for fans to literally carry a
piece of the Prints of Darkness into the future. So
if you're interested in a five hundred dollars can of
Ozzie's saliva and some iced tea, then you can buy that.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Lastly, Cardi B announced her first solo single of twenty
twenty five, is called The Outside and slated to arrive
on Friday, June twentieth.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
I'm glad that Ozzi's still around, by the way, I'm
super glad. Like, but when I used to watch the
Osbourne's in high school, he.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Was hanging by.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
I thought I thought that we were moments, right, I
didn't know if he's for the episode, Like, I really didn't. Right,
shut up, that's how he sounded.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Peky.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
I'm saying, I'm glad. I'm very glad he's okay, But
that was like thirty years ago. He brain, it was
like thirty years ago, right, No, he had you're giggling
as you say, I mean, he had he had quite
the run. He certainly did. But I'm glad, I'm glad.
I'm glad things are well and he and Sharon are
still together and they know they've had some up to now.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
They certainly are and they certainly have okay, and he's
still calling out for her like he did on the show.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
On your own, tell me I'm wrong.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
All right, I'm gonna wrap.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
All right.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Maybe you want to see our faces and you want
to see Kiky laughing at me right now, you can
go on YouTube on our page, please subscribe and like
and whatever the hell you can do, but you can
also watch us while on the show.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I do love that family.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
That was a great show.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
It was entertaining really well. It was revolutionary. I feel
like people were that was like all the all the talk. Yeah,
but in the dog's peeing everywhere. That was I couldn't
live like that. Their dogs were constantly peeing on the
rugs like all the time. They had like the dogs
everywhere and they're pee everywhere, and I couldn't live that way.
So crazy things that people have done with the Stanley Cup.
Shout out to the Panthers Mark Messier party with the

(34:29):
cup in Dallas so much so that they had to
repair it at the end. I guess this is another one.
The Dallas Stars had a pool party after they won
the Stanley Cup in ninety nine. They tried to throw
the Stanley Cup off of the deck of the house
into the pool, but it didn't make it. It hit
the concrete next to the pool instead. What which they

(34:50):
had to fix a huge dance. Apparently one guy, Chris Draper.
After Detroit's victory in ninety eight, they he his kid
used the cup a diaper. No see, Kentucky Derby winners
got the cup after the ninety four Stanley Cup, members
of the Rangers wanted to share the experience with another champion,

(35:11):
so the guys took the cup to Belmont Park and
fed Kentucky Derby winner go for Gin out of the top.
So the horse got to drink out of it, not
even the jockey. Some people took the cup swimming. Let
me see what else here? Someone shipped a tooth on
the cup. It was a dog bowl for somebody. The
cup went overseas. Apparently at one point there was a

(35:33):
holy celebration. He used his day. I guess you get
a day with the cup each each player does if
you win the Stanley Cup. He had his daughter baptized
in it. In the Stanley Cup, the Cup was an actor.
It was a prominent figure on TV shows including Boston
Legal and thirty Rock. The Cup was a soccer ball.
I'm not they dropped kicked the trophy. Okay, someone left

(35:57):
the cup somewhere behind. The Canadian have won the Cup
so many times they don't even remember if they have
the cup with them. In nineteen twenty four, the team
was on its way to celebrate the victory when they
got a flat tire. The team repaired the tire went
on their way. Once they got to the party, they
realized it left the cup on the side of the road.
There was some kind of a bonfire that involved the
cup and then nineteen forty forty one season was a

(36:21):
big one for the Rangers. In addition to winning the
Stanley Cup, the club paid off the mortgage to Madison
Square Garden. To celebrate, the Rangers lit the mortgage on
fire while it was in the cup, causing a cup
then to light on fire. They were able to then
put it out with their own urine.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
Oh see, I don't want the cup, right, and they
drinking out the cup like.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Oh I held that thing. Okay, I'm gonna go get
tested for everything now waiting by the phone blogs. We'll
do a game show Wednesday and nine hundred and fifty
bucks with show Bit Shelley in the showdown. More Fredshell
