Speaker 4 (01:25):
K Orlando Bloom reacts to Katie Perry's date with Justin Trudeau.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Okay, I'm slicking at everything here. Yeah, it looks like
I don't know. Okay, you know, it looks and I
don't see any sort of like syntax error of any kind.
I mean we blue in the cartridge. We did, and
if you don't know that reference, then you're young and
God bless you. But we blew in the cartridge. Jayson
was down there. He had a soldering gun. I don't
know where you got the tool belt from. That was

(01:50):
wild drapped. Yeah, you didn't have to wear the whole
like mechanics outfit had to toe.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Oh not, I'm method.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
You know, we're fraid he might get some oil on
your where the oil was coming from. But that's what
I've heard. The latest dating trend. You guys ready, I'm
gonna start your week with the latest dating trend. And
we talked about this flocking. We talked about flocking. I
got so many things on my list, I don't even
I can't remember what we did and didn't do. I
can't remember we were on the air, off the air,

(02:17):
I can't remember if I was talking to myself or not.
Flocking is a gen Z dating term. Instead of using
dating apps, people are traveling to meet potential partners in
real life. They'll book a trip to a fun place
like a beach down or a city with lots of
bars to increase their chances to finding romance the old
fashioned way by actually talking to people face to face.

(02:40):
So there are travel sites like Priceline that are even
offering special deals to support the trend. So you ditch
the app. You would spend money, You would buy a
flight I guess, by yourself, and then fly somewhere and
then just post up somewhere else and hope that somebody
would talk to you, because I guess people will talk
where you're from. I mean, I don't know, Like I

(03:00):
just seems a little flawed. To me like in a
lot of ways, like okay, so you I get it,
Like maybe you want to a different pool of people, Okay, fine,
but then then you okay, let's say you go to
wherever and you meet someone, then they live there and
you live somewhere else. So now we're all automatically up
against that challenge.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
A whole new set of problem that you're un locking.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I think it's just flawed flocking. Can we go back
to can we go back to? Uh?

Speaker 3 (03:24):
What is the word?

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Like a playoff of am I like slow? Like flocking,
like you.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Fly, you're flying somewhere, You'll fly like a.

Speaker 5 (03:34):
Bird flocking Like oh yeah, I'm slow. Okay, I got it? Yeah,
what is.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
What is?

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I thought you'd be into this because it's travel related,
and I thought, like, you know, you mean, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I don't. I do love to t but I don't.
I don't like get on the plane and fly, you know,
Cleveland or whatever, and then go post up at a
random neighborhood but hopeing someone will talk to me, Like
I mean, yeah, well I flew to Cleveland and I
posted up a neighborhood, borrowing people would talk to me.
I read this on Friday. It was flocking. I need
to do it. I need to adopt this trend. No.

(04:11):
I mean it's one thing. If I think if you're
traveling and then you get on the dating apps or
you or you're like more likely to maybe be out socializing,
doing fun things that you may not do on an
average weekend when you're at home, and then you meet
someone that's different. But I'm not going to travel with
the intention of hopefully speaking to a human who wants
to date me.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I would if I was single and wanted to live elsewhere,
I would set my location to that place and see
what kind of pool they got.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
But this is start something there.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
This is no dating apps. This trend is no dating apps.
So like this this trend would that wouldn't imply Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I'm just saying that's what I would do. If I
wanted to move to Miami, I would send it in Miami.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Because I always pictured you being with somebody who like
you just meet via airport or like, I don't know,
somewhere like on a trip, like I really do picture you.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
No, I agree with you. I think that could totally
have it has happened before. Yeah, but what I'm I'm
not the purpose of this would be to take the
trip to do that. And well the other thing is like, okay,
so a beach town, like I don't know. I go
to Pensacola, you know, I fly to bes, Well, I
think it is a beach at Pensacola. I fly at Pensacola, right,
and I'm like, here, I'm in Pensacola. Now I'm in

(05:16):
a beach town. Well, everyone else is there on vacation too,
So then I don't even know where the hell you live, Like,
I don't you know? And then is it giving long
term or is it giving kind of one offs like
a question like we're having fun now and then I
have to go back to my husband or wife, you know,
kind of thing, Like I don't know. It seems flawed
in many many ways. Well, I don't know. If I'm
you meet Brandon people on vacation and they're in vacation

(05:37):
mode and they're like, what are do vacation things? So
I'm not sure that I'm not sure about this one.
The other thing I've noticed is that if if as
it as a man, if I do travel and I
set my apps somewhere else and I match with people,
and then I get home, I either get quickly unmatched
or like kind of told off, like oh, so you

(05:58):
don't even live here. Oh so it's like, as a guy,
if if I go to New York City or New York,
New York City, New York City, if I go to
New York and if I go to Dallas and I
changed my stuff to Dallas and then I come back,
it couldn't be that I wanted to see who was
out there in Dallas. It was Oh, it implies that

(06:18):
I just wanted to get some, like for the weekend. However,
living in a big city like we do, it happens
all the time, like this weekend. I guarantee if I
were on the dating apps that I would have matched
with several people who don't live here, who are in
town for a lot of pelluca doing the same thing.
But as a but but I guess women, I wouldn't
say that to a woman. I wouldn't be like, oh,
you were obviously trying to get some maybe you were,

(06:40):
so what true? But people I've gotten told off before
like oh, you know, that's not really cool. You know,
like you don't even live here, you know, and you're
matching with people. It's what do you mean? Like women
do it? And by the way, when did it become
so criminal to go on a dating app and be
very transparent about the fact that you were just looking
to meet someone and see what happens wait over the

(07:02):
course of the time that you're there. I mean, if
that's not for you, then then you once you discover that,
then you can unmatch them and move on. I think
the problem would be if you were married, or if
you were a scammer, or if you were not transparent
about the fact that all you were trying to do
is stick and move, you know what I mean. I
don't know when this became so criminal. We're having this

(07:24):
conversation last week off the year, But when when it
it becomes so bad to just be transparent about the
fact that you want something casual. If you don't want
something casual, then then just unmatch the person or just
don't talk to them, right.

Speaker 6 (07:35):
I think it's a great thing to be, you know, transparent.
Don't waste my time, not that I'm on the app.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Sence, when did you become the expert on this topic.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
I don't waste anybody's time, be honest.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, I mean, I don't. I'm not saying that you
just lead and come right out and say that's what
I want. But I mean I don't. I guess even
if you did, but people are like, oh, that's that's
how you wind up on those websites, websites app or
how you wind up on there, and people like dog you.
But it's what I don't. I guess. I don't know
why that white people can't just answer what they in

(08:10):
a in a not disgusting way.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
Right, But you shouldn't be on like married you know,
I want to be married dot com and you know
you just love that site.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm it right now, mean.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Want to be married?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
You say?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You saying I shouldn't be on it.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
No, you should not, and you just want to stick and.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Move, you know. But I want to stick in move
dot com too. What if I'm on both cris Biggest
stories of the day, A lot of Palsa, a lot
of Palusa in Chicago, record setting crowd p Sabrina Carpenter
last night. I'm sure we'll talk more about that throughout
the morning. But you said it, Kiki, you said what
I've been saying. But I get a hard time for it,

(08:49):
and I bet you don't. Why do so many people
have to go attend one in one contract?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Yeah, nobody.

Speaker 6 (08:55):
Nobody, Like nobody needs to watch, like have that many
people in one spot to watch them perform.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Nobody needs to two hundred thousand people or something like that.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, no, no, we don't all need to be there,
Like if you were in the.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Back of the Sabrina carpetenter because like if you haven't
met a lot of palooza, you know, huge rectangular, far huge,
and you've got big, big stage on one end, big
big stage on the other, then a whole bunch of
stages in the middle kind of along the edges or know,
the sides or whatever. But when the two huge events
are going on, because usually put the two biggest people
at at the end of the night or towards the
end of the night, you've got people who went to

(09:26):
Sabrina Carpenter were also at the other person's gout, like
their backs were faced to the other you know, I mean,
there were so many people at Sabrina Carpenter that you're
basically also attending someone else's concert too, but the back
is your back is to them.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
Yeah, that was me on Friday for Olivia Rodrigo because
I had never seen her, so I wanted to just
get a glimpse.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
I'd go all the way in the back.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
I was basically like back here at the radio station,
Like how far back I.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Intended to show From here, I looked out the window.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
I saw it really yeah, yeah, but it was cathartic
and it was great.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
No, I mean it's cool. I guess for some people
maybe the only way you get in or and I
understand that you get to go. I heard someone describe
it this morning, which is obvious. But it's like I
got to go to fifteen concerts, well for the price
of fifteen concerts, but yeah, you're not really saving any money.
So very expensive to get in now. But yeah, so
you're offended by the number of people that showed up.
You would have preferred what maybe twenty percent of them.

(10:18):
The rest of them could have stayed at home.

Speaker 6 (10:20):
Yes, And then when this is like it was over
last night about ten, everybody need to go home, Like,
go back to your cities, go straight to the airport,
get out of here.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
Carrym cram so many light to the airport.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
There's so many flights to take, right, you know, right, right.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
Just pick one.

Speaker 7 (10:36):
There's a lot of actually sleeps in the airport, Like
you don't have to go.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
To where you live, but you can't stay here. Yeah,
there's a flight to Fort Madison, Iowa. That's where you're going.
You need to get the hell out of here. You
there's an out of town curfew. It's midnight. You gotta go. Yes, yeah,
I mean that's that's my issue is in many people,
I'm not a crowd guy. And that's like crowds on
stereos and that's beyond crowd. I mean, that's like a

(11:01):
city that's bigger than some cities a lot of people.
So did you got you guys? Okay though, I mean
I know Jayson basically lived there from Tuesday to Sunday.
You're right, Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
I went out into the crowd one time every day,
very very much, you know, was like okay, yeah, like
and most of the time was when I was leaving.
But I do like like walking out just in it
because there is like an energy about it. But I
just know that I could never immerse myself in that
for four days, like I wouldn't, you know, make it.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
No, it's need I live across the streets, so I wan,
I'm in my house. I hear the rumbling all weekend,
from from Tuesday to Wednesday. All I hear in my house.
That's what it sounds like, because you just hear the
bab right exactly, and then I and then I get

(11:50):
to you know, the fireworks and the drones to conceee those,
and then I listened. I watched the TikTok and I
feel like I was there. I saw the very best
moments of everyone I know who showed up and Earth
went and fire came out on stage with Sabrina Carboner,
which is totally random. I saw that on TikTok, but
I also heard it in the background, so it was fine.
Love that I'm attended every year basically, yeah, and it's

(12:10):
good enough for me, except it's not because living nearby
means that I also get like the remnants of you know,
you got people peeing in our flower pig and all
the streets are closed, and all the restaurants are just
sort of like absorbed by, you know, people who are
looking to cool off or like camp out. It's it's
not it's not. It's not the best weekend of the

(12:32):
year to live down there.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Literally on Friday, I was trying to come to work
and I took an Uber and there was a drunk
girl trying to tell my Uber driver that it was
She's like, I'm KA, I'm K because it goes by
my Facebook name, and the guy's like.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
You're not KA.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
Like they were arguing, and I'm like, okay, girl, you
gotta go home.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I needed to get to work here. I wear You're
still a festival. The night before, I was wearing my
Grateful Dead shirt that was all cropped, and I needed
to get to pay. I had to work. I had
to get here time for the whole thing to go down.
Get a rest Oasis said on Sunday that its members
were shocked and saddened after man fell his death during

(13:10):
a concert at London's Wembley Stadium. The police said that
officers in paramedics responded to reports of an injured person
just before ten thirty pm on Saturday. It said that
a guy in his forties were found with injuries consistent
with a fall. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
There was an earthquake in New York City that happened
about ten to eighteen pm on Saturday night. The epicenter

(13:33):
was located right across the river near Teeterborough Airport in
New Jersey, which you can if you've been to Teeterboro
Airport or anywhere near there, you can look right across
and see the city. The New York City Emergency Management
Department said it was monitoring for damage, but that there
were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The region
experienced at four point eight magnitude earthquake in April of
twenty twenty four. Despite being a shallow earthquake, which had

(13:55):
its epicenter near New Eleven in New Jersey, approximately fifty
miles west of New York City, all flights were grunted
at the airports and it shut down several transit options.
The cleanish and dirtiest cities in America, according to lawn
Starter three hundred major cities. The Landscaping Site examined all
the entries to suss out pollution levels, inadequate living conditions,

(14:18):
inadequate waste infrastructure, resident dissatisfaction. South Bend, Indiana, the cleanest city, Wilmington,
North Carolina, des Moines, Davenport, both in Iowa, Athens, Georgia,
Winston Salem, North Carolina, Fargo, Frederick, Maryland, Pleasanton, California, and Lynchburg, Virginia.
Those are the cleanest cities the dirtiest cities in order.

(14:40):
You ready, San Bernardino, La Detroit.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Always we make every negative list.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Y'all are filthy. That's where cats from reading. Pennsylvania, Ontario, California, Newark,
New Jersey, Phoenix, Arizona, Jersey City, New Jersey. Las Vegas.
I didn't know that about Phoenix.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Phoenix gives me clean.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
It does. It's always given me clean. Yeah, I was
clean when I lived there. I didn't live well north
of there. But Las Vegas and Corona, California. I'm seeing
all these stories on TikTok, by the way, but Las
Vegas is like dead and dying, and I'm not sure
if it's true, but like it seems to be a
theme of people talking about how no one's going to
Las Vegas anymore, and the streets are empty, and like

(15:19):
time when it would normally be packed, it's not. I
don't know if it's a side of the economy or
the fact that Las Vegas has gotten so expensive.

Speaker 3 (15:32):
They lost all the bachelor and bachelorette parties.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Like everyone's going to Nashville and Austin like and that
I feel like was a big thing in itself.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Such a girl strips of what Maine I certainly did.
That's the problem. Yeah, I know what Maine.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Las Vegas, you know what.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
It's not cheap though, I mean everything's expensive. The rooms
are expensive, but.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
It's also not giving dad.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
Like every time I'm there, it's like insane amounts of people.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
I don't know, a trend of tiktoks lately where it's
you know, I don't know, Friday night at eleven thirty
and it's just they're showing like corridors that are just confence,
no one walking, or the casinos are empty, or when
it's like this, normally this would have been packed and
no one's there. And another day, another headline segment, another
gen Z story. Gen Z is ditching boxed cereals, So

(16:23):
we're done with it. Guys, what are our kids getting? Well,
I'm not gonna have I don't. My kids are probably
grown if I have them. But what what what are
they gonna eat? What is you gonna eat? Not cereal? No,
you're not gonna give them like la. She can't have
like tricks or her kids, so she can't have fruity pebbles.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
I might be contributing to this downfall of cereal because
I don't want to give my kids less box cereal.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
In the US, sales have slid more than thirteen percent
since twenty twenty one, as younger customers did sugary processed
options in favor of real food like eggs, yogurt shakes,
and vegetables. Influencers say that they couldn't be paid to
eat a sugar loaded cereal. In response, cereal brands are
attempting reinvention with high protein and flavor blended products while

(17:07):
pledging to remove artificial dies entirely by twenty twenty seven.
How about mid moderation like really uh Cinamentto's crunch. Growing
up as a kid, before school, they will have those
little little uh sample boxes, remember you could buy. I'm
actually not in boxes anymore because you can't. That's bad
for the environment. But they used to have when I
was really little, they would have like you by, like

(17:29):
I don't know, eight or twelve of them, and they
were like the tiny little boxes that looked like the
normal box, but you got like one of everyone, and
there was always one at the end that I didn't want. Yeah,
like specially k At the end of it, I'm like
special cash was left and then my mom's like, you
gotta eat that. If you wanted me to get you
more of that, It's like, no, I don't want it,
or like I don't know. There was always a random
one that they were pushing on you, raising one.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
I don't like brands good over special k.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
No, at least you got raisin you got a little
sweetness of the raisins. Special k is just I may
as well eat the box.

Speaker 3 (17:57):
Delicious made special care.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah so good?

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Who wants raisins in cereal?

Speaker 5 (18:03):
Mean?

Speaker 8 (18:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
And they're covered in sugar? As if the raisins that's
sweet enough, then they cover them in sugar.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
Of course they do.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
What was your go to Kiki growing up?

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
I didn't.

Speaker 6 (18:13):
I was the kid that didn't. I'm the I started
this trend. I didn't eat cereal really.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
The other kids are having little bowls out and I
was like, I want some bacon, eggs sausage, my girl,
Yeah that's what my bag.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Who was making that? Like I had a good mom,
but she was not up every day cooking like a buffet.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
I just I would not like I stood on business
when it came to Cereal, I'm not eating that.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
I want bacon and eggs.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
It was Cereal business or like Shed microwaves bacon and
my mom wants it like like I mean prehistorically hard.
That's the way she makes bacon.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
Oh, I'm a floppy girl.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Which no, no, I barely cook the thing like cook
it to where I want to die from. Yeah, I
mean I'm eventually gonna die from eating it, you know,
I mean general, but I mean like just I don't know,
cook all the germs off it and then I'm gonna
eat it. Yeah, I don't know. But in moderation, I'm
not saying that your kids should be eating cinnamonta scrunch

(19:10):
every morning, a box of it. You know, how about
every I know that's part of being a kid is
that you get to eat some of this stuff and
that you don't necessarily have to worry as much about it.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
I want to steak and eggs, yes, an omlet.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Look what kind of howen expressed were you?

Speaker 8 (19:29):
Now?

Speaker 3 (19:31):
I want a steak?

Speaker 7 (19:33):
Take it home for breakfast? Is creation?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
Aka? Your your sister was cooking it up custom made
omelets every morning.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I want my eggs soft scramble with cheese. Oh, let's go.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, I'm good with that. But a steak, let me
just put a porterhouse on the skillet.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
They can't do that.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
Some breakfast potatoes?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Hotel? Are you living? I will say, though, a great
indult gins is when you're at a hotel. If you
want to spend seventy five bucks on breakfast, is room
service breakfast? That is migrating.

Speaker 7 (20:06):
Almost did it yesterday. I had it in my cart
and I was like, I'm spending almost fifty dollars on
some front bagel took it out of my cart. I
couldn't do it. I couldn't. I was like, get up
and walk to the corner to get something.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
I did it yesterday. I was traveling. I got eggs
benedict because I'm not making that. I'm not poaching eggs.
I'm not making Hollandais, so I'm not doing that. Plus
I'll eat it. I didn't eat it in bed, but
you could eat it in bed because it's not my bed.
And I was checking out.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Oh you eat in other beds?

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah maybe maybe, man, I didn't. I mean, you know,
on the couch. Actually but maybe I could because it's
not my bed. Okay, So and I was leaving the bed,
I wasn't gonna sleep it in a bed anymore. So
I don't cared again. Bad. It wasn't my bad.

Speaker 8 (20:52):
Bad.

Speaker 1 (20:52):
I don't eat in my bed because I need to
keep my bed well somewhat sanitary. But I eat the
hotel is different, though, which is the other bed. Which
is the other reason why you got to be careful
in hotels because and also why you got to kind
of let Jesus take the wheel when it comes to
the hotel because whatever, people are willing to do things
in hotel rooms that they wouldn't do at home. It's
just the way it is, like eat in bed and

(21:14):
and other various other things. So it is. But people
like you were a germophobe, how do you do hotels?
For some reason? I can just sort of I don't know,
I'm free, and I'm fine. I can I can handle
it because I just realized I'm I've already lost as
soon as I walk into lobby. You know, Like the
hotel I stayed at this weekend, it was one of

(21:35):
those hotels where like I'm pretty sure that someone did
illicit drugs off of the nightstand, like you know the
kind the kind like it just so I didn't even
know that I was choosing this, but it was kind
of like at no, no, no, no no. It's like boutiqui
and kind of like kind of like trendy, you know,
like all the furniture was like black. Yeah, you know
what I mean. The carpets are really dark, which is smart,
but you know, like like the curtains were sheer, they

(21:56):
were like shiny, you know what I mean. There was
like black and metal. That was That was the hotel,
like modern. Sure some would describe it like that, but
you know the kind of hotel I'm talking about. Like
it wasn't like a It wasn't a Hilton. You know,
it's normal. He didn't have like flower scapes on the
It had like pictures of Marilyn Monroe and you know,
like Holly Minoga on the wall.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
I didn't want to make that beach place.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
The guy had a vacation to Holstead. That's what I did.
Anything but my neighborhood was entertainment report. He's on The
Fresh Show.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Sabrina Carpenter headline Lallapalooza in Chicago last night, she gave
us outfit changes, Honey. The first was a white fringe
top a matching skirt. The second was this like little
pink romper that was very cute, doing all the hits
like Manchild, espresso.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Please Please Please.

Speaker 4 (22:49):
And I love the weekend mostly because I love all
the surprise guests that happened. And Sabrina brought out earth
Wind and Fire, which did not see that one coming,
did not have it on the Bengo car. They did
September and Let's Groove Elsewhere over the weekend, Olivia Rodrigo
brought out Wheezer, which I thought was really cool. Gracie Abrams,
I told John Friday, brought out Robin for Dancing on

(23:09):
my own. Anyone else we can think of? Are there
any other big ess they?

Speaker 1 (23:13):
I mean, I think in some cases they probably decide,
But like, do you think Sabrina Carpenter said I want
earth Wind and Fire last night or do you think
that that was like a lot of Palos people going hey,
can we incorporate earth Wind and Fire somewhere?

Speaker 3 (23:22):
I think it was her.

Speaker 8 (23:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (23:24):
She seems like the type of person that would like
in her free time, like be in her house listening
to that music. Yeah, she has the really like old
eclectic sort of stuff.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
Yeah I could see that.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
For Gracie, she said the reason she brought out Robin
is because Dancing on my Own she thinks is the
best song ever written.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
And I have to agree.

Speaker 8 (23:40):
True.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
But yeah, I feel like they pick but yeah, er
swindon fire was there. Katie Perry's rumored romance with ex
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is, you know what a
lot of people are talking about right now, A lot
of headlines after they were seen in Montreal and had
her concert together, and even her ex fiance or Lean
Bloom got in on the conversation. So he responded to

(24:03):
a satirical post by The Onion joking that he was
dining or he was spotted dining with former German Chancellor
Angela Merkele by posting clapping emojis, suggesting that it's all love,
it's all fun, but did not expect to see him
in the comments on that post. Neither Katie nor Justin
have confirmed anything, but people do say they're dating and
proceeding carefully. Obviously, both very famous and have families and

(24:27):
all that good stuff, and just like that the sequel
to Sex and the City is coming to an end.
Show Runner Michael Patrick King announced on Instagram that the
series would wrap after the third season ends. He split
the finale into two episodes, with the last one schedule
to drop August fourteenth. In an Instagram, Sarah Jessica Parker,
who played the iconic Carrie Bradshaw in both series, called

(24:48):
the sequel all Joy Adventure the greatest kind of hard
work alongside the most extraordinary talent. All the girls came back,
except for Samantha aka Kim Catrell.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
She was not a part of it.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
I think that they had a lot of beef off screen,
so she she did have an uncredited camp it like
they talked about her and like said that they Carrie
said she called her on the phone, but they never
showed her, and so her absence was described as her
moving to London.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
But that is that is ending for it. And it
wasn't a good sequel. They should have never done that.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
But it was more of something that I missed, so
I still watch it.

Speaker 3 (25:22):
But they they really it was an interesting time. Yeah,
oh no, I watched it, and I don't know why
they did that to us.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
I honestly, just come on, like leave things in the past,
and always say that all the time, but this is
the one I will die for.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
Like leave it in the past.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
I would have liked it if they didn't try to
make it so like current Times, Like they made Carrie
a podcaster, she's a writer they like.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
I don't know. They just the issues of today, every issue.
It was one of every issue.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
And I watched shows to try to escape so but
I still watched it, you know, I wish I hadn't.
By the way, if you missed any part of our
show and want to catch up, take the Fred Show
on demand, and if you could said us as a preset,
it really helps on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yes, I's have my vacation in Boystown. I guess Jason
things at the Starny Hotel.

Speaker 5 (26:06):
Did you call me?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
You were busy. You were busy crying to Olivia Rodriguez
And I was too busy a mile away watching or
several miles away watching it on TikTok because I was
I was just far enough away. But I can still
hear the boom boom boom here my sleep. But I
had dinner with some people over the weekend and we've
done had dinner before. It was I guess more of
like a business setting kind of thing, and it was

(26:30):
the thing that you do when you eat with people.
And it was like, hey, do you want to order
some stuff and then we'll try you know what I mean?
Like not that share. It's more of like a romantic thing,
I think. But it was like, hey, what if we
get a bunch of things and we all eat it? See, hey, Fred,
what don't you like? And I generally think I'm not
all that picky, like I'll eat a lot of different things, okay,
But as I started to list the things I don't want,

(26:53):
I realized that I am picky in a strange way.
And I you've been listening for a while, you know this.
I don't want any kind of meat that looks like
it did when it was alive. Okay, okay. So like,
for example, there was branzino and they didn't have the
head on it, but essentially they cut the head off,
they leave the tail on. They cut the thing in half,
and then it's like a butterfly branzino and it still

(27:15):
sometimes has little bonies in it and stuff. It might
taste delicious. I don't know. I didn't need the tail
on it, and I don't need the head. And I
know that they are Europeans listening right now and people going, hey, dude,
go from the Mediterranean. Hey, you're missing out. It's delicious.
You know, fish with the head on it is good.
I don't need to look in the eye of the fish.
It's a weird thing to ask the server though, you know, hey,

(27:36):
is that fish going to have the head on it?
You know what I mean, Like, it's a strange thing,
especially when you're trying to act cool kind of or
act chill. And then it was like, well, I don't
like eel. They didn't have eel on the menu. But
then it kind of became a top. It came like
what don't you like?

Speaker 3 (27:50):
And no, Calamari, don't comment him with calamary.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I don't understand Kalamory. I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, you don't get it.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
I don't get Calamoria. Understand why it's necessary for.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
Me too, because now I'm thinking, like, this could be
a rubber brand just in matter.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's what I mean. Squid, I'm sorry, the texture of
squid on its own is gross. And then so okay,
so then we just go deep fry it because that's
more palatable to a lot of people. Fine, but then
deep fry a vegetable and give it to me. I
don't need it. It's I don't get it. And then
somebody we had this conversation because kalamari was on the menu.

(28:27):
I'm like, I don't like the way it smells, I
don't the texture, I don't like. I don't get it.
Go ahead and order I don't want it. I'm not
having it. And then people dip it marinara or whatever.
It's like, Well, then now we're tasting. Now it's fried marinera.
What is the purpose of the calamari even at all?
Why is it even there? Have you had it in
strips deep fried air and then get that in calamari?

(28:49):
And then I get my deep fried in my air.
I don't know if I've had it in strips, I
don't If it's on the menu, you guys always order it.
It's wonderful, have ad it. I just I'm not going
to partake. I've never said don't get it. Go ahead
and be and bet you don't let us get interesting.
You can we're forbidden. Eels a texture thing for me.
But then after a little while, I'm like, I guess,

(29:12):
I guess I am kind of picky. Now if someone
had ordered, I wouldn't have said a word. I just
wouldn't have eaten it. Oysters. I like oysters, except I
got sick not that long ago after eating oysters. I
can't confirm that it was from the oyster, but I
have that now, I have the association, you know, where
it's like, oh, now I see them and I'm like, oh,
I was really sick for two or three days after.

(29:33):
I bring this up because you GOV has they guess
they've surveyed a bunch of people and they have the
list of the most hated foods. This is some people
hate anchovy's, liver, sardines, and oysters. Strong or slimy flavors,
weird textures are the main deal breakers. Most people say
they've warmed up to something if they used to hate,

(29:54):
so the opinions can change. But anchovy's, liver, sardines's, oysters
most dislike foods. Do you guys have any eight five
five five three five you can contact the same number.
Do you guys have any food stuff where it's like,
I'm just I'm not I'm not gonna enough for calin
just gets cows anything cow that was once a cow.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, and I don't get I don't get can tuna
or like bag tuna, like no one's ever like, oh,
it smells like tuna in here, and that's a good thing.
Why do you want to eat something that smells like that?

Speaker 1 (30:24):
That's fair?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Okay, thank you, that's fair.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
However, just prepared European like tinfish, like or if you
go to Spain or you go to Portugal that somehow
that's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
My boyfriend eats tin fish and it's actually like his
biggest run flag.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Really yeah, some of it's like super high quality and
really good. But I would agree that the smell is
not is not ideal.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
I don't want to eat anything that smells like I
don't want it to smell like.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
But any hardlines on food like we okay.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Sushi, I know that's so popular. I don't like sushi,
you know, I guess I hate anything. I eat everything
that comes to my face. But no cold shrimp. No
cold shrimp. I don't like the little seaweed thing in there.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Cold shrimp is typically cooked not at a sushi restaurant,
but like the cold the cold shrimp they bring like
for shrimp cocktail has been boiled.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
I'm not dipping it in What is that the cocktail sauce.
I'm not dipping it in there. I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
I mean, like like a cooked shrimp, like put it
with rice and stuff like make it yummy.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's is cold.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
I don't like cold.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Oh that's the.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Yeah, the coldness is not cute.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, all right, Jason, surely you have a lung. I
do I do.

Speaker 5 (31:26):
I don't like onions, raw onions. I don't like that.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
I don't like barbecue sauce of any kind or anything
that tastes like barbecue sauce or barbecue flavored or like smoked.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
What thing?

Speaker 7 (31:41):
I don't like runny eggs, Like my eggs have to
be shaped and formed like an omelet. They can't be
like all floppying all over the place. I have to
have compact shaped eggs. Okay, it's so over hard then
is the way you would? Or yes, oh, I will
not eat anything off a bone, not.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
A bit that could that that comes back to the
thing where if it looks like its original form, like
it's a little tactile for me. Like I like wings,
but every now and again you're eating a wing, I'm like,
what is this?

Speaker 2 (32:11):
What?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
What did I just alig? What is it?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Like?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
This looks like it shouldn't be here, you know.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
And then you're like you have to like pick the
bones apart to get the meat out of it, like
it's so yeah, not for me.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Then you don't look good while you're doing it anyone.
Just now, I.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Like, I like slightly overcooked chicken, Like like chicken that's borderline.
I know you're supposed to be one hundred and sixty
degrees or whatever's supposed to be, but if I need
like a little firmer firmness to my chicken, because chicken,
that's like right there. The texture can be a little
like a little i don't know, like a little slimy almost.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
So you like fried hard? You want your wings fried hard?

Speaker 9 (32:57):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (32:58):
No? I don't want them. No, you have the wings
I mean, like a chicken breast like you grill it
like you grill it like grill it. It needs to
be cooked.

Speaker 7 (33:06):
I always over cook it because I'm afraid of undercooking,
so I make sure it's.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Like yeah, well that too, that too, Kiki.

Speaker 6 (33:12):
Macha, I, get it away from me. I don't want it.
That's as much as that's showing up every day.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Is that like, hey, Macha for the table. You know
it's not.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
It's the new pumpkins spice. Get it away from me.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
I don't want to try it. I tried to get into.
People are like, oh, it's so healthy. I tried it
for a while. I really tried it, and I agree
with you. I couldn't do it.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Why are we doing this? Like not y'all just doing stuff.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
Now, Jackie, we talked about this late late last week,
I guess. But cottage cheese for.

Speaker 5 (33:43):
You, Jackie, yep, that's an absolute path For me.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
I don't understand why it's all curdly and everything. It
should not be edible.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, I mean it tastes like cheese, which is fine,
But I agree with you, like, what's up with the texture.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
It's gross.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Same thing looks like mazzarella sticks for me too. I
don't get it.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
You don't see mozzarella stick. I do get because now
talk about something. You take something great, deep fry to
make it greater, then dip it in marinera to make
it greater. Now we got greatness, so that makes sense.

Speaker 8 (34:19):
But that's because the same like Calamari, though Cala Mario
is pretty great.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Yes, low ocean, and it wasn't slimy to begin with,
and it wasn't breeding. I don't you don't need there,
Thank you, Jackie? How An I stay glad you called? Now?
This is an interesting one. Whoa, hey, Kylie? How you doing?

Speaker 8 (34:39):
Hi good? How are you guys?

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Hi? Kylie? Weird food for you? You're not You're not You're
just not gonna do it.

Speaker 8 (34:45):
I don't understand raw corn like what you know, like
corn on the cob, corn in saltsa. I don't if
it's not a tortilla.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
I don't want oh icee so like ground up corn
turned into something else like a bread or a chip
or something. But you don't need like the kernels.

Speaker 8 (35:04):
Is what you're saying, right, It like goes in the
same way it comes out and there's no personal value.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Why are we studying that? By the way people say that,
I'm like, I'm not really looking that hard at what's
coming out.

Speaker 3 (35:16):
If you even take a gander, you'll know you have I.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Need to take a gander. Well, that's necessary.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
I don't need to want to be proud of myself.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
No, I'll take a glance to see if we're like,
you know, if the form is right, because that's if
you drink it of water and you know your nutrients.
But like if you're digesting things, probably, but I'm not like, oh,
look there's lunch. No, you guys are gross for that.
Thank you, Kylie. Have a good day too, Sierra. I
see her a good morning, good morning.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, my mom's saying pea lady either what's up with?
What's up with peas? What's your issue with them?

Speaker 6 (36:00):
It's the mush the texture is I don't like that.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
The texture. You don't like that? Okay, okay, well, thank you, Sierra.
I have a good day. You called Gino, you know,
and here's another one. Gino, Hi, Geno, Hey, how's it
going in the morning? You know what I mean, your
culture or where you're from or where you eat. Maybe
this is just a regular occurrence, but you're about to
tell me, you bless you, that you don't like something

(36:27):
that we don't This is not showing up all the time,
but what is it for you?

Speaker 9 (36:32):
So all my friends and family love lu tacos. Yeah,
they already give me a right time because I don't
speak Spanish, but I'm like the darkest, darkest Mexican. But
it's disgusting man to taco their.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Tongue, taco's telling lingua, yeah, okay much.

Speaker 9 (36:48):
Or lemon you put on it. I'm not I'm not eating.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
I won't do it.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
And if you go to like an authentic Takorea, they'll
they'll always have them. And people see they must they
must love them.

Speaker 9 (36:58):
You know, your friends and your cousins look trick you
and they'll be like, eat this paco and you won't see.
And if there's so much stuff on it and I
won't do it, I'm inspecting the taco everything. I won't
do it.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
You're not falling for that trick. You're not fall with
the langua and the taco trick. I feel you, Thank you, Gino.
Have a good day. Yes, And that's another one, like
like you might be listening now, going, hey Fred and Gino,
those are delicious, like they taste really good. What do
you care? Like you can't it's chopped up. What do
you know, like, just eat it, enjoy it. You know

(37:27):
you're you're too much in your head about it. I
don't eat it. I don't. I'm not injuring. I'm sorry.
I guess I'm gonna get more langua for you. You
know I'm gonna go my whole life, but I'm just not.
I'm just not gonna happen because I don't. It's just
too no, no, no, it's too no anything else for you, Caitlin,
I feel like everyone else listened a whole long thing.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
You got the cows.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
You know I don't want one of a cow.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Salmon is too fishy for me.

Speaker 4 (37:52):
I wish I liked it because it's healthy, but I
was scarred by a bite of salmon a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
You had no cooked fish. But I'm pretty easy. Other
than that, I'm now learning like I thought I was picky,
but I don't think I am.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Because I really thought like I can always find somebody
to eat, no matter where I am, find somebody eat only.
I've never been to a restaurant where I just can't
eat anything. I've never been to a restaurant where.

Speaker 3 (38:13):
Anything I haven't missed a me neither. That was always something.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Because wherever you go, they gotta have a full breakfast
thing that's right. Thread show next,
