eight time breaker for six hundred bucks with Donna in
the showdown Waiting by the Phone is new this morning?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Why did somebody get ghosted? Why? I don't know what.
Why did somebody get it was aggressive?

Speaker 1 (01:10):
I don't know why I said like that, but I
did definitely gonna beat paulinam love songs in Kiki karaoke. Yeah. Yeah,
somebody else got engaged yesterday. It's Calin pointed this out
Blanket Jackson, Michael Jackson's kid, Congratulations, that's really exciting. And
then of course Kiki and then Taylor Swift. But in
that orger, I don't know if somebody said this in here.

(01:31):
It was at a conference that I was at a
couple of weeks ago radio conference, but it was why
does everything happen at like ten thirty? You know, we
get off the air at ten and then these all
this stuff happens at like noon? You know.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
It's like, could you have been a little more considerate? Taylor?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
It was rude.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I mean this happened two weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Couldn't you have rolled it out around I don't know,
seven for our benefits so we could talk.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
About it then that would have been helpful.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Would that have been nice?

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But yeah, the huge breaking news this morning is the
Cracker Bills going back to their old logo. Oh and
Taylor Swift is engaged as well, And I know you
have lots to talk about as it pertains to that, right.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Caitlin, Good morning to Ad Kelsey and only Ed Kelsey.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
I want to give you a big old kiss.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah. I want to talk about him right this second, actually,
because I think we can all probably relate to the
person in our family who wouldn't be able to keep
his or her mouth shut if something like I love
my mom so much, but we need to keep her
off of Facebook. Like I saw her the other day
with a pertained the little TV announcement I had. She

(02:34):
was answering people's questions in the comments. Oh, he's not
going to be moving, He's just going to be moving, going.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Back and from Mom, this is.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Not the official statement, Like this stuff is all vetted, like,
please don't say anything. I had to sign a contract,
like there's a legal involvement, Like Mom, I love you, no, no, like.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Do not fill in the blanks.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
You're excited.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I know she is, and I love her for it,
But like my mom has no filter.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
My mom doesn't care about and doesn't have to you know,
she's right, Mama Fred has earned the right to say
what she wants, I suppose, but not what I'm around
or not as it pertains to like tractual agree, I'm like,
oh god no.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
But who would it be in your family?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Because in apparently in Travis Kelce's family, or at least
in this new dynamic of Taylor Swift and Travis kelcey
ed Kelsey, Travis's father was contacted by the local Cleveland
news and he had some things to say that I
have to think are not resting well in the Swift
camp about the engagement? Now? Whoever decided to call this

(03:36):
guy and got him on the phone, Good Get Good
Get for News five Cleveland.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
About a week ago. Aheads Travis's so when are you
going to uh what are you? When are you going
to announce the the engagement?

Speaker 5 (03:48):
He said, whenever Taylor says so smart?

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now, oh smart guy? Right there he was.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
They were there were other things right, like didn't he
say isn't he quoted as saying that Taylor was getting antsie?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, so he needed to pull the trigger.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
He was talking about all these like plans that Travis
wanted to do and how he wanted to make it big,
but then he was like he ended up doing a
different plan because it seemed like Taylor was getting a
little antsie, which I wouldn't love if someone said that
about me, even.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
If I were getting a little ANTSI.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
I mean, Big Tim wasn't allowed to He wasn't allowed
to speak on this publicly, Like there was a press
conference and Big Tim wasn't given a microphone. Yes for
your big engagement, Yes, yes, yeah, we need because Kicky
wasn't getting in after eight years, you weren't getting antsy,
and if you were, he wasn't gonna say it, right.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
He knows not to do that, absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Eight three five? So who who is it?

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Who is it in your family that you would have
to be very concerned about, Like you'd have to shut
them up, you know, like, hey, there's an announcement coming,
Like let's just pretend for a moment that everyone listening
to us his family is right now, there's an announcement coming,
got and here it is. If the news calls you,
no comment, no comment, no comment, you're not talkie talkie.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
Don't invite him inside for a glass of wine.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Would it be your dad, Kalin?

Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yes? Hi, dad, if you're listening.

Speaker 4 (05:08):
My dad takes it a step farther now and he
just says, what I'm about to say is gonna be bad,
but I'm gonna say it anyways.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh no, you're not gonna like it.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
And then I'll be like, no, no, I don't want
you to, and he'll be like tough, and then he'll
say what always said, thing is so he would do that.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
He would also it would take them two seconds.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
To get invited inside, and like look at the animals
or whatever he looks at in his backyard.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's kind of also like I don't mean to be
an ahole, but like when you when you preface something
by saying it's gonna be bad, like I mean, I guess,
I guess that's a little better in the whole. I
don't want to be an a whole because I like,
sometimes you say things that are critical or they could
come off and they're wrong, like I'm being constructively critical.
But I just felt like when you just said that
that that's the same as good. I don't cauld I
do it all the time, Like I don't mean to

(05:49):
be an a whole, but I'm not saying.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
The whole thing.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
But he'll be like, you're not gonna like what I'm about.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
That's way worse.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
And I'll be like, good, I don't say it then,
and he'll be like, no, I have to, that's way worse.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Kiki, who is it for you?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
It's my oldest other Laveil.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
He thinks he is Steve Harvey almost days, so like
he feels as though he should have a press conference
and a microphone and a comedy show all at once.
And he's any any moment that he gets to speak
or shine, he's gonna take it.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yes, didn't you stay off the era outside on the porch?

Speaker 4 (06:18):
No, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
The porch is not the porches is in a public space.
You should not.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
There's no presumption from the traffic department or walking by
and listening to you.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
There's no presumption of privacy.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
He's like, didn't you say in private offer?

Speaker 2 (06:35):
No, No, we're not No, we're not doing that. We're
not doing that. We're not doing it.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
If you say something out loud and Maria Palmer can
hear from the rock station, I don't care. I don't
care now if you say to me, hey, I don't
want you talking, Jason, I were just having this conversation.
It was like, Kiki, if you had said to me
Sunday night, if you'd called me in, oh, here we go,
if you'd called me and said, hey, I'm engaged, I
am not ready to roll this out, I would not
have said a word right.

Speaker 7 (06:59):
But then we we all would have had to sit
here awkward you're right together, But now we.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Sit here awkwardly now because we know that you're capable
of hiding major life secrets and not telling us. Yes,
but no, if you say to me like, hey, this
is not every one of you, at one point or
another has said to me, and I have a big mouth,
and it's my job to you know, direct the conversation.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
But every single one of you said to me, hey, not,
we're not.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
We're not. But here we're not, And we didn't for
the most part.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
But what was that? Where's it going with this?

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Oh? Oh oh you told it or your sister told
everybody at your engagement on Sunday night that we didn't
learn about until Tuesday that, yes, or Monday afternoon. Yes,
do not post pictures of this like this is a
private event. Keiki gets to control the narrative.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
Yes, because my sister understands, you know what I'm saying, Like,
who's on Taylor's team?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
That's like this, Helena is stree pain, not pain. Get there.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
She doesn't play about me.

Speaker 7 (07:53):
So she understands her daughter and she knows like, hey,
let her post our photos, let her make the announcement.
She also did not tell any of the guests that
attended her fake birthday party that they were there for
an engagement until they arrived in Odes.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Okay, okay, all right, Jason, who would you have to
worry about your family?

Speaker 5 (08:09):
Definitely be my dad too, just because he doesn't understand
how this stuff works. Like he's the one that's like
posting private conversations as like post on his Facebook wall,
like it's just like a lot like you. If there
was a leak, like it would be him, okay, like
he would be the one, and Pauline, it's it's Marta. Right,
we'd have to actually sit her down and be like Marta,

(08:29):
like we're not we're not talking about this.

Speaker 8 (08:31):
We would take away her Poland calling cards because she
would call them, so that means the news would break
eight hours yor eight hours ahead, so they would know
ahead of time. In Europe which means then we're behind.
Would be all over it, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Oh man got polish shine, David Muir all over this.

Speaker 3 (08:49):
All over So I would really be careful with Marta.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, she's quick.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, because March, I think has the same thing my
mom has, where it's just I'm I don't care, like
I'm going to say what I want and I don't care,
and and it's fine, which is fine for you, I
guess if maybe you can get away with that, but
like most of the world can't. So it makes me
uncomfortable because I seem to live in a world where,
believe it or not, even as loudmouth, as much of
a loud mouth as I am and as we are

(09:13):
around here, it still makes me nervous to talk about
certain things because it's just I just know people's sensitivity.
So sometimes my mom will go somewhere and I'm just like,
oh god, Mom, don't My mom doesn't care and shaking
it away with it, and so can March, I'm sure,
but like it's like, dude, one of these days I
want this is got a backfire.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Someone said, my mother, My mother is the person. Where
did it go? I went away? My mother.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
We were in Disney and my mom was yapping her
mouth by my ring doorbell to my neighbors and she's like,
today is the day he's proposing. And they're like, hold on,
I don't if we're calling that person. I would love
to hear that story from her. My ten year old daughter.
My ten year old daughter is the one that you
would have to keep things quiet about. I can see

(09:59):
that my n at some point being the ones that
you have to.

Speaker 3 (10:01):
Like, oh, kids tell it all.

Speaker 7 (10:03):
I love talking to kids when their parents, Like if
my nephews come over, I know everything that's going on
in the relationships and the house.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:10):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
When I was like six, seven or eight, I told
the entire neighborhood my parents are getting divorced before the yeah,
and neighbors were coming over. I'm so sorry, And I
don't even know if it was official yet. My mom's like, oh, yeah,
we just said that receipt it looks that way. Yeah,
that's where the things are certainly looking like the right right,
exactly right, exactly, No, And.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I just I didn't. I don't know.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
It's just yeah, you're like, my parents are getting a divorce.

Speaker 3 (10:35):
My mom put my daddy out right, look at me
do a cartwheel.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Dad packed all of his things and left, so I
think he's gone for good.

Speaker 2 (10:41):
I don't know where he's going.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Hey Jen, Yes, gentsen, it's your mom who told the
story in front of the tell the story about the
ring camera.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I want to hear it from you.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
So my husband was at a work conference and he
took me to Disney as he wanted to propose, and
my mom was watching her cats at the time. I'm
and she was standing in front of our ring doorbell, going,
oh my god, today to day he's proposing, and like
she is watching the note stations. I know her for
a fact that she's getting these right now.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
No, man, so you saw it and then did you
say something to him or you just let the day go?

Speaker 8 (11:17):
So I kind of let it go.

Speaker 6 (11:19):
Our neighbors did tell us after we came back, like, yeah,
your mom was reacting her mouth off.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah. Well, these women, you know, and men, they get
excited and it's just you know, they don't know. I know,
nobody means any harm by it. It's just like, oh god,
I can't tell you anything, can.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
I do it?

Speaker 6 (11:39):
For everything? She responds to everything with everyone like you
said earlier. Like someone says that, oh, I got a
new job, and they respond before the person I can respond.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Jen, Well thank you, congratulations.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
I heard about on the ring Cambine.

Speaker 6 (11:56):
For you.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, I did it. The biggest stories of the days.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I woke up at two thirty in the morning to
brainstorm how we were going to celebrate this, uh.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
This historic day.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelse are engaged on the social media.
On the social media's they posted your English teacher and
your gym teacher are getting married, along with the photo
of the NFL's Kelsey on one knee. No details yet
on wedding plans. They're both thirty five years old. I
know they had Garden of Eden in in Missouri.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
I don't know what oh I thought it was a park.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, that's his backyard. It says right here.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
For Taylor's Oh, I thought he drove to some park
somewhere and on the way to get wine or something.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
It's what I read. That's what he told me. When
I talked to him last night.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
He said this is a wrong story.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Then, oh, well, maybe I read them.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Maybe he maybe he lied to me as a decoy
to throw me off because you didn't want me to
go there. Sometimes Yeah, I don't know, but it was
like some sort of what I read and I don't
know if it was right, but it was like some
sort of I don't know what it was. It looked
like it looked like he could have been fake. I
didn't mean like that. I didn't know what it was.
There was a beautiful place. I'm like, where are they?

(13:08):
But I just couldn't figure out Jason the right way
to celebrate this historic occasion, and so I thought, you know,
there were a couple of different angles. But I think
we should give away pre nups for sure. Yeah, I
think I think it's imperative. And really it's more because
of Kiki, because of Taylor, because he has way more money.
But yeah, yeah, are you gonna get a prenup? Absolutely? Yeah,
do it girl?

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Big Tim's cool?

Speaker 3 (13:28):
Then yeah, I have nothing and he has nothing. Whoever
hits the lottery.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Win maybe nothing, maybe maybe maybe don't sign one. Yeah, yeah,
but I think we should give them away in honor man.
We have to find someone to do them. But I
think you're a lawyer that yeah, pre ups, if you
want to give away prenup if you want to day,
if you want to do some pre nups, then then
call us and you could be the one and we'll
give you free advertising and we'll give away prenups. Because uh,

(13:56):
well this was two thirty in the morning. I couldn't
find a lawyer two thirty in the morning, at least
not on the desk. Prenups. Wow, I have one for
other things, but you know, I don't he's expensive. I
don't call him that off actually just she. But anyway,
we had some other ideas to we should get away
pre because another thing I want to know is, obviously
there will be a prenup because Taylor is a multi
billionaire and he's he's only worth a means like probably
hundred million bucks, which is you know, it's just chump change.

(14:19):
But do you I mean, I guess you have to
if you're that rich, because he could totally come for
the bag, I guess. But like, he's got a lot
of money, So what judge is going to be like, yeah,
you can have a billion dollars, you know, And plus
she's fully established, like she's a completely baked artist, Like
he can't even argue that I helped her get there.
Well he didn't, No, so I I kind of wonder

(14:39):
how that would work in the gym. No, no, no,
but yeah, you know that's going to be some form
of divorces get way too crazy. We've seen that how
many times. Well, look at Brad Pitt and Joe Lee
fighting over the vineyard for twenty five years. It's like
that was nothing to a vaca. Buy you another one,
right exactly. But speaking of a prenup, I'm going to
get one with all of you. Because the Powerball jackpot

(15:02):
is up to an estimated eight hundred and fifteen million.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I knew that.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I knew the other night wasn't dead like I felt
like you guys were. Everyone should go out and buy
tickets to make the jackpot bigger so that it would
be bigger when I win it. But I knew it
wasn't time. I didn't buy a ticket. I knew it
was in time. Like I walked by the bodega where
they sell them, and I was like.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Not yet. Today might be the day, though you need
to do it.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
Today might be today eight hundred and fifteen million dollars,
the seventh largest in the game's history. The price grew
after no ticket match all six numbers in the Monday drawing.
The estimated cash value stands at three hundred and sixty
seven point nine million dollars.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
That's better than it was. That's way better.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
The jackpot was last one May thirty first in California,
and there have been thirty two consecutive drawings with out
Agram prize winner since then. The next drawing schedule for
tonight it's a ten to fifty nine Eastern, so nine
to fifty nine Central. You can choose between an annuity option,
which provides an immediate payment followed by twenty nine annual
payments increasing by five percent each year, or a lump

(15:59):
sum payment. You gotta take the lumpsum. You gotta get
all the money right now. You know how long you'll live.
You let me figure it out. Let me give it
to Chad, give me the money. I give it to
my guide. We'll figure it out. I don't want this
innuity thing because all for all I know, I get
a little bit of money and then I get hit
by a truck and then that's it.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
It's the end of it, and I want to leave.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
If I'm going to hit by a truck, I want
three hundred and sixty seven million bucks in my baga
at that time. I'm not going to tell you what
the odds of winning R because they're not good, because
I'm going to win.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Guys, they've scrapped their recent logo makeover and they're bringing
back the classic design after facing a storm of criticism,
a storm, and this was so serious everyone, this was crazy.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
I was so upset about. That's why I was up
at two thirty this morning.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I knew it.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
I was up at two thirty wondering if the logo
with Uncle Herschel was coming back or not, and it is.
The chain announced on Tuesday that it would retire its
new All the More logo, introduced less than two weeks
ago in favor of the original, featuring the familiar old
man Uncle Herschel in a chair next to a barrel.
Cracker Barrel wrote, we thank our guests for sharing your
voices and love for Cracker Barrel. We said we would listen,

(17:01):
and we have. Our new logo is going away and
our old timer will remain. I mean, do they not
focus group this or anything like with the people that actually,
you know, eat the cangreen beans there like you know
what I mean. I just I don't know how this
happened because it is dumb. No, just shut the whole
thing down, like you're done.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
It is dumb. It is, it is dumb.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
But like I don't know, I mean, it's not that
uncommon for some new executive to come in and go,
I know, you know, we need to change everything. Man,
this thing's look an old timing. And here, even though
it's a country store, which in itself is old timing,
there's no Apple store that's a country store. I don't think,
you know, So we need to brighten this place up
and make it look more modern. Did they not ask

(17:43):
people questions before they do that? I mean, we asked
people questions around here before we, you know, do anything.
So I mean, don't they like, did no one get
a bunch of old people or people that live in
wherever and eat there all the time, Like they could
just have gone to a cracker barrel, you know, the
exact kids or whatever, and just sat down at the
table with someone and been like, what if we get

(18:03):
rid of the old.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Man in the barrel's crazy?

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Somebody would have said him a whole lot of money
and be hassled by being like he can't do that.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
I would have smacked him right across the face.

Speaker 3 (18:11):
That's what I ask.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
We're thinking about modernizing clean clean lines in the country store.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Absolutely not no, and give me my dumplings.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Right, like I might need a Christmas tree potholder year round,
you know. I mean, I just I don't know how
this happened, and I don't know why it's causing so
much controversy. But it's over, guys. It's uh goodness, it's
been saved. There's an Apple event speaking of which to
set for next month. Apple is set to launch new products.
I saw a parody on this yesterday and it's just
so true. It's like you can predict what it is now.

(18:40):
It's going to be a faster iPhone with like a
different camera placement. It's going to be an Apple Watch
that can go to like eight thousand feet under the water,
which is not why you buy an Apple watch. And
then it's gonna be some satellite thing. And then what
of the persons saying this video is like that your
air pod will have a heart monitor in it or something.
It's like, it's yep, it's not like it used to be.

(19:01):
Where every time Steve job would march out. It was
like this revolutionary advancement. But yes, analysts expect Apple to
release a lineup of new phones as well as a
new Apple Watch. According to the company, the tagline is
awe dropping as Apple plants to streaming event on its website.
One feature expected to be towed is satellite connectivity for

(19:21):
Apple Watches. And then of course they change the colors
around and then they change a little plug.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
They got to do that.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
They change a little plug so that every single cord
that you have up until that point obsolete. Throw it away.
You don't need it because we change the plug. Very
upset about it, Yes, I'm mad. Talk a research survey
two thousand Americans online to explore just how much guilt
tipping influences tipping habits. And I think that this really

(19:49):
has started more as it pertains to the iPads, the
iPad cast registers or like the little terminals they hand
you now where you'll go to the restaurant like in Europe,
and the handy little thing and then they stand there
and watch you. Why you select what tip you want,
they like hold it right in front of you. I mean,
how many people have the balls to give a bad
tip when they're staring at you. Right on average, people

(20:11):
end up tipping twenty four dollars more per month than
they believe is fair, equating to two hundred and eighty
three dollars per year in guilt driven gratuities. It's a
sharp drop from twenty twenty four, where people guilt tiped
a whole lot, more like five hundred bucks almost thirty
eight bucks monthly. I mean, honestly, have you ever had
that situation where they flip the thing over and you say,
no tip? I mean, I'm sure a lot of people have,

(20:32):
you know, a backbone? And I don't.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
I do not.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
I don't like you handed me the coffee that I
paid for and I'm supposed to tip for that, I guess,
and so I do because you're staring at me. But
now my four dollars coffee just became eight or seven,
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
But no, I don't have that. I can't say no.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
And while we're talking about that, if you're going to
ask me to donate to charity, could you say the
specific name of the charity, because the other day had
asked me, would you like to donate to kids that
are handicapped?

Speaker 3 (21:00):
In the area.

Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yes, I would, but can you be a little more specific,
very general?

Speaker 1 (21:06):
It seems a little The twenty eight cents that you're
rounding up is going to all of them.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Right, So it's good nice that's Is there a charity
that's been run through or because I will?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
But that's very generic. Where are these kids? I want
to help them?

Speaker 1 (21:18):
And in honor of the engagement of the century, I'm
referring to Kiki and Big Tim Thank you. How about
a romantic story at the end of headlines, movie date
for a Canadian couple married twenty six years turned into
a big, messy adventure after the wife's wedding rings ended
up at the dump. So dude name Steve and his
wife Janine returned from the movie theater with a big
bag of popcorn, but they accidentally spilled it in their garden.

(21:40):
While cleaning it up, her rings apparently slid off and
into the popcorn bag, which then was thrown into the
compost bin. When the couple realized what had happened, that
band had already been collected, so he resolved to get
the rings back, even at that meant digging through trash,
so he went to the landfill they let him try.
Some skeptical workers sid, sure, whatever, you have a chance.

(22:00):
But he then went through and the guy helped him
with an excavator and they found sausages that have been
thrown out in the compost and found both of the
rings before his wife could buy a metal detector to
come and help, so he dug through the communities trash
to find the rings so she would get her rings back.
That is true love. That is a good man, Savannah,

(22:21):
or a guy that doesn't want to buy more rings.
It's national just Because day today and we'll do the
entertainer report. I don't know what we're gonna talk about
him AND's entertainer report.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
He's on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Everyone will remember where they were when they found out,
like any big historical event. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey
made a joint post on Instagram yesterday to announce that
they are engaged, although I don't know that he had
much of us say in how the rollout was going
to go down, but it was posted.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
To his Instagram.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
The caption simply read, as we just talked about your
English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married with
Taylor's song is so high School, which is about Travis,
and just like, oh the cuteness, it's cute overload.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
I have cuteness aggression.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
The couple started dating, remember, back in July of twenty
twenty three, after Travis through a big old man tantrum
on his podcast about how he wasn't able to meet
her at the Ara's tour, despite not having really tried
to meet her at the Ara's tour.

Speaker 3 (23:14):
Of course he knew what he was doing where.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
It eventually got back to her and she did say,
like I had to ask a lot of people if
this dude was crazy, and so many people vouch for
him that I was like, Okay, let's talk to him.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
She called it.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
I haven't been able to meet Brittany Snow.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I've been trying to meet Britney Snow or any of
the Horny Cast and the Hunting Wives.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
I've been try watching that. I watched it. Yeah, I
watched the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
People keep telling me me specifically would like that show,
and I'm like, I don't know what that means.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I've been trying to meet Britney Snow.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm just gonna start bitching about ey celebrity I've ever
wanted to be in the same room with works. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
Taylor eventually called that move something out of a John
Hughes movie during her first New Heights podcast appearance. They
went public in September of that year when she attended
her first Chiefs game, and after a suit Super Bowl win,
an earra's tour, and a Super Bowl loss, they got engaged.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
Now, Travis's dad.

Speaker 4 (24:06):
Ed has already been on his local news channel, which
made me chuckle and.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
I don't know, I'm seeing conflicting stories.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
So, according to News five Cleveland, Ed says that Travis
asked Taylor to marry him almost two weeks ago at
a garden at his home in Lee's Summit, Missouri. But
then someone is saying to you, Fred that they know
the exact park where this happened.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
So I'm looking there's.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Some parade magazine to see what parade magazine says about.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
Parade.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Oh you never heard of parade magazine?

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Like this is your big break? Like get the effects right,
I'm trying to I don't know.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
Basically, there were a lot of flowers around, so many flowers.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
I was trying to figure out where that where that.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Was right, if that's in his backyard. That's insane, but.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
That's what I mean. I was like, dude, what kind
of good landscape er do you have?

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Apparently they were about to go have dinner. Some stories
are saying it was right after they recorded that podcast.
He has to to go have a glass of wine,
either in some park or in his backyard.

Speaker 3 (25:09):
I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
People were quick to point out that the photo looks
almost identical to a photoshoot that she did for her
Lover album, which I have hanging on my wallet home.
So I manifested this, but I thank you ed because
before he started yapping, I was narrowing down the timeline
by Travis's haircott and Taylor's manicure that she had on
New Heights. Because the manicure was the same on New
Heights as it was in the proposal. People were, you know,

(25:33):
quick to point some of that out. And by the way,
speaking of that podcast episode, they literally broke a Guinness
World record. They now officially recognize that episode as a
historic event, as the one point three million YouTube viewers
it drew in was the biggest concurrent audience that the
platforms ever had. They called Taylor a record breaking machine,

(25:54):
and I'll talk more about the ring next hour. But
by the way, that Ralph Lauren black and white striped
dress tailor wore for the proposal, has already sold out,
according to of course over at Ralph Lauran.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
So page six found a very old listing okay for
his house and it looks like this might be it.
But this is what I will say. It was obviously
juged up for the like, so they hired someone to
come in. And this is why I think did Taylor
have something to do? Because there's no way that Travis Kelsey,
if you ever heard this guy talk that he thought,

(26:27):
I know the spot and we're going to hire the
world's foremost flower designer. Because what I'm looking at right
now is like it looks like anyone's backyard. Now.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
Ed did say he kept stressing to everyone Travis did
about I want to make it big and it's this plan.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
It's this plan.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
And I guess both the dads Ed and Taylor's dad
were telling him you could propose on the side of
the road. It doesn't matter. And what I think happened
is what a lot of guys do. They get antsy
and like nervous, and they have the ring and they're like,
I just gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
But yeah, they added a lot of if this is it,
they I added a lot of flowers.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Remember she also lives there, so maybe.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
She she liked me.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, in the yard maybe maybe, But I yeah, maybe
it was the guy's backyard because but I'm looking at
the guy's backyard right now. It's like there's like a
like above ground pool in the background. Like it's not
exactly but it's not. It looks nothing like that. So
maybe but somebody went in there and did their big one.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Of course.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, So any thoughts, feelings, did anything I missed before
I wrap her up? No?

Speaker 3 (27:28):
I think I mean it was monumental. Did you cry?

Speaker 5 (27:31):
No?

Speaker 3 (27:31):
I ran in here to show Kiki and been like, Hi,
you got showed out and the.

Speaker 7 (27:35):
Girl, but I did it and you never would get
showed up.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
Also honorable mention to Michael Jackson's son. He also proposed
this week, So it's love.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Is there, Blanket was Blanket is all grown up.

Speaker 4 (27:49):
By the way, if you want to catch up on
anything you missed from our show, you could type the
French show on demand. It's all up there and if
you could while you're there, sent us as a preset.
It really helps on the free iHeartRadio app, which.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
You had been bummed. A real question.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
But would you have been bummed if you had waited
a few hours? Like maybe, let's say you had because
you you got engaged Kiki on Sunday For the people
that don't know, Yes, you then sat here like a psychopath, yes,
all day Monday, didn't tell anyone. You took your ring
off before you walked into the radio station, yes, so
that nobody would know. And then we all found out
now that I'm bitter about this on social media at

(28:23):
about three o'clock on the big announcement with the with
the fully produced video that.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
You put out.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Huh okay, So yes you did.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Let's say that you had waited and done that the
next day and then Taylor had you know, she had
launched that at like ten am. So then would you
have waited on your announcement because it would have been
overshadowed by everyone talking about Taylor, Like would you have
would you have launched your video three hours after her?

Speaker 7 (28:45):
So here's the thing, Taylor and our talk okay right
the time, so I knew exactly when she was going
to drop her announcement We actually coordinated that together as
two Sagittarius queens.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
So we wanted to give you guys a week.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
It would have been really nice for you to give
the exclusive on that, but okay.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
I kicked it off.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
We didn't get the exclusive on any of it.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
Blanket you got an exclusive blanket is neck next. So
it's more coming this weekest. I can't wait to see
the next.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
That is not only gate cap to her engagement but
also Taylor Swift's engagement.

Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yes, yeah, you are a true cycle path.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
Now I am a true icon and we planned this
out also, and we should all enjoy the love that
is in the air.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Yes, But though you wouldn't have been like oh Man,
like oh Man would have never happened.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
I'm telling you it would have never happened. We're having
a joint wedding. We're gonna slit the price of the venue.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
I split, you mean.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Splitting catering and everything.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
I thought it was cool that after after Travis was
done with the engagement scene in his backyard, he let
you use it. He let Big Tim go back because
the flowers were gonna go bad. So it's like, you
guys want to use that toog where they the garden
of Eden that I have in my backyard.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Total frad Bro would absolutely have those flowers.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Like this, she knew everything. She knew everything, she picked
the ring, she she knew what a dressed you. There was.
There's absolutely no way that this was not entirely orchestrated.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Her team probably helped him.

Speaker 7 (30:18):
T three wasn't ire street pain helped.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Her unless you blog her audio journals Waiting Metaphone is knew?
Why does somebody get ghosted? Game Show Wednesday, Love Songs
with Kiki, Karaoke. These are the radio blogs on The
Fresh Show. It's like writing in our diaries, except we
say them a loid. We call them blogs. I'm gonna
take this one. I want to talk about something that's important,
that's plaguing plaguing me right now. Obviously timely too, because

(30:45):
people are talking about love and commitment. I'm familiar and
uh engagements and things beautiful time deer blog. When you
cook chicken, do you find yourself getting rid of most
of the chicken before you cook it? For example, this

(31:06):
is a this is the Jason's notting his head. Yes,
I did too, and I got the chicken like they
little cutlets, you know, like little tender pieces, you know
what I mean. I already like they were broad chicken breast,
but they were like really pretty trim.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
I had like full breast and I had to cut
like ou now, yes, yeah, there you go. But they
had at a little white strip in them.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Yeah. I thought they were gonna be all set. So
I like go to marinate them, and I'm like, this
is gonna be fine. I'm go put them on a
little grill and I'm gonna eat healthy. It's gonna be wonderful.
But no, I start looking at him and I'm like,
I don't what are these little tendon things doing in here?

Speaker 2 (31:43):
So I cut.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
I started cutting them out, and then I find more stuff,
and before long the tenders were nuggets.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
They never even resembled chicken. No, there was nothing left bush.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Now I understand, you can just cook that and eat
it and it's fine, and you probably do most of
the time, because you know, most restaurants are not doing
what I'm no. But I find it when I cook chicken,
there's no chicken left by the time I get to it.
And the bigger the piece of chicken, the less it
seems to wind up being and I know I need
to just get over it, probably, but I don't. So
last night I probably threw away half the chicken because

(32:13):
I wanted to make sure the chicken didn't have any
non chicken like you know, weirdo stuff in it. And
I was just curious if this was something that plagued
the nation or if other people are just like, whatever,
you're eating meat, like, it's gonna have weird components, so.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
Just cook it for me.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
My Granma got me into you know, like when you
crack an egg into like where whatever you crack it into,
there's like the little like white stuff, Like there's the
yolk and then like there's the egg whites, but.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
There's like little stringy egg stuff. My Nana got me
into the habit of taking each like little weird thing
out of the egg.

Speaker 4 (32:45):
And so before long I don't have an egg, but
I do get it like I don't want to see
that later.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
That's take long to do that. Yeah, yes, I don't do.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
That with eggs. That's weird.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Now I'll do that because now I'm going to see
that and I didn't see it before, but I just
last night, I'm like this is I bought a pound
of chicken and I'm eating a quarter pound of chicken
because the rest of it I threw away because it's
that looked weird to me, and I'm sure it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I just didn't know this was something that other people
did to you. Don't bother.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
And I don't wash my chicken either, Oh boy, yeah,
and don't I do.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
We don't need to get into this whole debate, but
I don't.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I don't wash the chicken because I feel like then
I'm just getting chicken juice on more places.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
It's just spewing out everywhere.

Speaker 8 (33:24):
Yeah, I like, No, it does scare me, but I
like to do like the legs and like the wings,
So I guess for me, I don't really take it
off because I'm eating the you know, eat the bones.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
You like a ligament?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
I do?

Speaker 8 (33:34):
I mean the car.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, we did not know. Parcass is what you.

Speaker 9 (33:49):
I eat all parts of that animal's leg like, I
love it, all parts of the animal's leg I I do.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
I like the dark meat more than like the chicken breast.

Speaker 8 (34:03):
I do, but I cook both because of course Hobby
has to have his chicken breast white meat.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
You know whatever, healthy, man, I'm not. I eat the bone.
Dark meat is juice here, it is. It's delicious.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
People are texting there, they're making me feel better. Put
the tendons between the gaps in a fork and then
pull it easy piecey.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Yeah, I tried that before.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
It doesn't work on the doesn't work because there's just
not enough mass there. I think it works better on
the bread. I have tried that on the breast before.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
I've never been.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
I have used the fork on the breast before.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
But no.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Aj says that he uses ground taco meat like chicken
taco meat because it's kind of already. It is what
it is like, it's all ground up already. So oh yes,
that's what you're going for.

Speaker 3 (34:50):
Why did you eat your scrambled chicken?

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Well, I grilled up the little, tiny little pieces that
were left and I ate it. It was delicious. With
anything else, I no, I made little lettuce wraps with him.

Speaker 5 (35:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
I did a little uh yeah, a little avocado, little serracha,
little tomato. Oh yeah, no, it was just I'm just
down here. I'm giadadilla renses in my house. It's okay,
you know, you know tonight I'm gonna have some posta,
but not on us. I don't know whatever cuts of that, man,
I don't know. I'm still traumatized by the Chicken. Okay,

(35:23):
so I think about more fresh show next
