K It's not just us the people who did not
like Sidney Sweeney's new movie an actresses saying it's all
her fault that.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
It was bad.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
No, Yeah, which.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Is this is wild, Paulina. There's some interoffice drama. I
understand between you and Bella. Do I need to have
some kind of summit? Do I need to meet with
everybody and you know, sit you all down and have
a you know, sort of a mediation session.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
It might come down to that. Yeah, that's where we're at.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
So Bella, who chastise me for being in the elevator
this morning, He told me, yeah, I was just standing
in the elevator coming up to the thirtieth floor because
it's what I gotta do. And I was just standing
there and the elevator doors open and she goes oh
and then screams and then says, go WHOA, meaning I

(02:05):
can get out of the elevator, I guess. And then
she told me that was I scared her by being
inside of an elevator. That was that I needed to
be in. So I'll take the stairs from now on.
It was so jarring to me. I was Oh, before
I knew it, she was gone going down the elevator.

(02:27):
But she's mad at you. Yeah, because she found out
that she's not on your funniest people list. Now, this
list has been going around for a while, and I mean,
you've had this list? Is it a written list? Is
in your phone? I mean, how is this list sort
of tabulated? It's kind of in my heart. It's in
your heart. So how would she know she's not on
it if she can't see it? Did she ask you?

Speaker 5 (02:47):
Well, she was like, I'm not one of your funniest people.
I guess she remembered last time we talked about this.
I don't even remember this, but apparently I told her like,
you're not my kind of.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Funny am, I'm not dembo?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Is that I have a very speciou said she wasn't
until I got yelled at this morning. Now now I'm
not sure. Now my feelings are hurt. While she did
offer me butternut squash soup yesterday, which is very common, no,
it was very nice. It was very nice. So so
she asked you about this. Now, this is a list
of people. How many are on it?

Speaker 3 (03:17):
Like five people?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Five people? And it's changed over the years. Oh, it
sure has. Who is on it now? And is it
in order or is it just a list of people?

Speaker 3 (03:26):
It's it's an order. I do have like a top five.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
I guess you could say it used to be ten
but I had to cut it down, or just too
many people to repair.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
It's too many, that's funny. No, that's way too many.
So so you have five funniest people who are they
would like to be the ship? I would? No, I
really would. I can't wait. I can't wait to hear
who your five funniest people are. All right, well my.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Coffee, Well, congratulations number five Fridday, your number five?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, that was I before I asked you? Or did
I just get to five?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
Noll remind me, she goes Fred made it, but I didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh, I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna be very honest
with you. That's that shocks me that I made the list. Really,
it does the list? Know, it really does. Because I'm
not a naturally funny person. There are other people around
us who are far more naturally funny. I feel like
when people are laughing, I typically didn't mean for them
to laugh.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
But see, that's my kind of funny, like I don't
like the like the wacky, like I'm a stand up comedian,
or like I have like these jokes.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
I don't do that dad jokes. I don't do that
kind of life.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
And Bella unfortunately kind of falls into she's not wacky
And I told her, I told her this today, she's
not wacky, And I'm like, but I just your humor.
You say funny things, but some things I'm like, Okay,
that's not my humor, Like, that's not Paulina.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
You know, coded he's certainly not able to be number
five on them, it's certainly not She'll.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Make it, though.

Speaker 5 (04:46):
I I got faith in her shoe.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
So someone's gonna get bumped if it's only five, and
being number five, I'm a little concerned about.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
My status the jokes out?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Now would that mean that, like would I get Would
I get bumped? Because I'm five? If she gets moved up,
then do I get moved down? Or can somebody like
who's two? Three? Four? Are they vulnerable? Everyone could be replaced? Okay,
all right, so who's four? I mean, like, I can't wait,
Who's Like I'm honored in shocked that I made the
tough I am. I really, I genuinely am. I don't.

(05:15):
I don't. I don't consider myself a funny person on purpose,
but please, no, you're great.

Speaker 5 (05:20):
So number four is there's a very cute, sassy queen
who works at the Duncan by my house.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I love her, Oh yeah, I love her.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Well, yes, so he is everything, and you know, he
and I have a little good of a relationship. Now
he's giving me like wicked stickers and stuff from my baby.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
So that was really cute and sweet of him.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
But he's so funny to me, like we just we
just banter, like I don't want to be here.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
It's like so funny to me. And I'm like, since
I get it, Like yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Wonder either, right, Like I'm in line right now at
four in the morning, like I'm with you. Yeah yeah, no,
I like that relatability, you know, when the humor life,
because like we're in this together. Yeah yeah, that's how
I feel about this job. If you're listening right now,
we're in this together, all of us, you know. And
and yeah, okay, so wow, so it's wow me Duncan queen.
And then what about number three?

Speaker 5 (06:07):
Number three is weirdly strangely, my husband Hobby.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Now, Hobby is not a funny man by any means.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh, it's making sense to me now because he and
I have a similar sort of I think I'm a
little more expressive than he is, but but not much.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
But he's funny because he's just he says and does
funny things. Klein knows like he'll just say the funniest things,
but it's not again, he's not joking, joke.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
You look at me. Everybody like he like seriously believes
stuff and like does things. And I would watch his
like reality show, it's the best.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
And when we fight, like yesterday, we got into a
fight because I told him, uh, I'm fun right, like
you had a lot of fun since I came into
your life.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
And he yah, him and I got into a little
a little scuffle about that and like it was funny.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
I guess he said no. Well he was just like
he's not really.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Like okay, and I'm like, nobody, Yeah, it's funny. You're
having a lot of fun. Like you're having a lot
of fun right now. This is fun right, So he's
number three numbers.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
See, I can see how that would have been the
house because this morning on our little little preparation sheet
that we have a lot where everybody writes ideas and
this is shared document. You maybe've heard about it before.
It is the writer's room because we don't have writers.
It's either me or that sheet that those are the writers' rooms.
They're right there. But Paulina wrote something to the effect
of it was like there was two sentences, and this

(07:18):
is supposed to be a topic for the show. It
said my best friend, and my best friend said to me,
to know me is to.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Love me, right, no, And then she said, and I'm like, yes,
right right, and.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
She agreed with that. And then she walks over to
the porch our table out there where we have our
pre show rendezvous. And I said, Paulina, what do you
want me to do with this? But there it is.
I just did it. I just did it, so Paulina,
So so I can see how hobby would be like
if you were If you were and I were married,
and we basically are without the sex, and you walked

(07:52):
in the polyamorous relationship. IM married to all the rest
of you as well. But if you if you walked
out to me and said to know me is to
love me, am I right, I would be like, I'd
be like, what that says? Something you say about yourself? Period,
that's something to be anyway. But nonetheless, and then who
are one and two? This I'm on the edge of
my seat. I can't believe. I can't believe based on

(08:13):
this list, I'm five. I'm even more shocked. Yeah, no,
I don't know that. I don't know that I am.
I think you put me there because you're a friend.
It would hurt my feelings.

Speaker 5 (08:19):
No, no, you're you're on my list. You're you're funny
without trying to be funny. And that's my type of people.
Although it is subject to change. I should disclaim that
right now.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh now, wait a minute, now, wait a minute. And
I don't like being five now because I'm on the edge.
I'm on the verge.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
No five is a good spot because you only place
is up, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Or off?

Speaker 3 (08:36):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, no, okay, believe all right, all right? One and two?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
Then okay, so number two this should come and no
shock is kaylin.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
I think she's funny and like again, it's not you know,
waka waka look at me, It's it's just funny. Like
she'll just say something random and I'll laugh. I've laughed
really hard at you.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
You you do make me feel like Chris Rock, Like
I don't like I would say something and you're just
like rolling around in for that.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
I love you.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yeah, it's just like funny. It's like one liners. It's
like she doesn't even try, she just says it, and
I'm like, that's funny. My, Like my humor is for
one person in the room, Like it's.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Never for like the horrors of my mom will I'll
say something under my breath and my mom will repeat
it for the whole room, and like it's not meant
for everybody, Like it's just a little comment just for you, babe.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Yeah, exactly. I appreciate it. It's an honor. I'm also
scared because you know, I don't want to drop. It
feels well, it feels like it's a kind of uneven ground. Yeah,
it feels feel a lot of pressure.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
The number one, I mean truly, who could it be?

Speaker 6 (09:25):
Well?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Number one you guys already know is Jonathan I mean
best friend. Yeah, my best friend, Jonathan, I mean him
and I we just we could be on the phone,
which we are for about two hours a day, saying
nothing to each other.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
But then we'll still drop a little you know, just he's.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Dropping his little dynamite little whatever sound bites to each
other and it's funny.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Well, I would just like to tell you to know
you is to love you.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, you want to move me on the list. I mean,
I feel like, you know, I've had a tough couple
of days. I'm wondering if I got elevated at a pity.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
I'm sorry. No you have not no, no, no, no,
You've been on my list, Kiki and Jason. You guys,
there's work harder.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, I'm not funny, but you.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Guys, because I'm at five and I'm teetering, I'm on
the balance right there, you know. So you guys, if
you'll try a little harder, you know, you could maybe
move up. No, but the honorable mentions with an asterisk
next year.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Wow, you're funny too, not funny enough apparently, but okay, yeah,
top time.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
I don't believe in ten. That's too many.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Wow. Wow, Okay, Well, I thank you, thank you. You know,
I will say, to know you still love you. I
feel exactly. That's exactly how I feel. In fact, I
was thinking that, and I'm so glad that you wrote
that down on the sheet this morning because I wanted
to say and I just didn't know. I couldn't. Paul
what do you want me to do with this? And
I said it just like that? But now you know what.

(10:45):
That's how I feel. Friends the biggest stories of the day, Holine.
I want you to know, Yeah, if I had a
top five list and I don't, you would be on
it for sure, because I agree with this texture. Paulina
is the definition of being funny without trying. It's not
like people think I'm making fun of you with the
definitely gonna be Paulina segment or whatever else. No, I'm

(11:07):
giving you. It's an opportunity for me to sit back
and because I never know what's going to come out
of your mouth. No, it's and I love it. It's
not making fun it's it's it's it's the softball pitch.
It's we're just gonna very softly throw the ball and
then you're going to hit it really far, and you
usually do. I would say at least three out of
five make me laugh really hard, and that's a very
high percentage. Kiky enough if you could try harder, Okay,

(11:31):
I need you to, I'll get to work. I need
you to try a little harder.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Okay, I make you laugh.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Kiky is quick. You're quick, and sometimes I'm like, damn,
I'm as quick on that.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
I'm kidding. You're hysterical. No, you're a ysterico.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
No, like damn, that's a good thing. Like how quick
you are? Like how quick you think of something?

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I just be talking.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
It's doubt.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Every single day myself laugh. That's say with me, though
they same with me. Although it really matters is if
I thought it was funny. So for whatever reason, of
all the insecurities I have, Of all the insecurities I have,
that's that one of them. I really don't care if
you don't laugh at me. I don't really because if
I laugh at me, then that makes me happy. I
don't care that I have many other insecurities. I need
to be liked, but I don't have to be the

(12:17):
funniest person in the room. I don't care because for me,
you know, if I get a guffall out of it,
it's a second. No, it was Kordal yesterday. If I
get a guffall out of it, I don't know what
that is.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It's a laugh oh, I remember yesterday.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
It's a laugh. It was a quardal yesterday. It was
a gaffaw today, and I was just come up with
a new one for tomorrow. I don't know where. I
don't why I remember these things because I would never
win on Jeopardy. You know, They're like, there are two
kinds of brains, and I have the other one. But
there we all know people who have the kind of
brain where they can just remember facts, like just just
they like details, facts, like they just remember every statistics

(12:52):
and words and dates. And I'm more of a conceptual memory,
Like I don't know. I can I can embrace a concept,
but if you were to ask me something very specific,
I don't. I can never remember. I can't memorize anything.
I just don't have that skill. Like these people who
could do whole TV shows, they can memorize like pages
of scripts like as they go. It's remarkable. But then

(13:13):
some of those people can't put their own shoes on,
you know, like they don't know how to like brust
their own teeth, or you know, they wouldn't know if
a car was coming you'd have to like, you know,
to pull them out of the road. So that I
think I cannot get hit by a car, but I
can't memorize a script or anything.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
Same arm like I've got good street smarts, but I
can't play my own game of beat Paulina for the
same my life.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
I can't win.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
Yeah, no, I don't balance baby.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
The Senate has approved a funding bill for a sixty
to forty vote or in a sixty forty vote rather
on Monday, that would end the longest government shutdown in
US history. The bill now heads to the House for
a final vote as soon as this afternoon. They need
this quickly because of all the travel delays affecting airports
across the country, but neither the House nor the Senate
was in session yesterday for Veterans Day. The funding package

(13:56):
extends money from most agencies until January thirtieth, and it's
three full year funding bills for some parts of the government.
House Republicans are confident that the bill will pass in
the lower chamber, and President Trump is expected to sign
the legislation, which would officially end the shutdown. However, airlines
will need time to adjust their schedules and staffing even

(14:16):
if the government shutdown ends today, so you could expect
flight delays to continue. Their warning comes just two weeks
before the busiest travel days ahead of Thanksgiving, and as
air traffic controllers missed their second full paycheck after the
shutdown began on October first. Record numbers of travelers are
expected for the Thanksgiving holiday period. So, unfortunately, just because

(14:37):
the government shutdown will end does not mean that you
are guaranteed to make your flight for the holidays or
that there won't be some other kind of issues. So
I guess what a reason. I thought maybe that was it,
like okay, good, now we can get back to it.
But they're still canceling. I think it was ten percent
of their ramping up to canceling, ten percent of airline
flights and different limitations. So I don't know. I think

(14:58):
it could be a huge mess. However, I'll be okay
because the Mega million shackpot nears a billion dollars. It's
my time, It's my Friday, is my time, and it
won't matter because I'm gonna buy I'm going to buy
a seven eighty seven with the billion dollars that I win,
just part of it, and I'll fly you guys wherever
you need you Airfred Drake has a seven sixty seven.

(15:19):
No me seven eighty seven. I don't know if the
Gary Airport can accommodate that, but Lynn make the runway
longer something, because I'm coming. I'm coming with my seven
eighty seven out there at the Gary Jets Center, Okay,
And you have to build me something. I don't know
where I'll build it, and then so I'll fly to
where I gotta go and then I'll have it. Come
pick each one of you up. It'll be a kind

(15:40):
of a quick trip to Detroit in the seven eighty seven.
But Pontiac Airport here we come.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
Now, why I gotta go to Detroit?

Speaker 1 (15:47):
If you want, I can ask where you were going
for the holidays. I just you know it'll come. Grab
you the seven eighty seven. Take your right over the seven.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Honey, take me somewhere tropical, baby, let's go. I can
miss Thanksgiving now.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
Jason, you're gonna have to go a little further than
than a place where you can not see your house anymore.
Like we're gonna have to go somewhere, you know, But
we can take everybody because it's mine.

Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay, so everyone gets on the dogs.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Of course, are you kidding me? Okay, of course, they will. Yeah,
there'll be a whole outdoor area for them. I don't
know how. We haven't figured that out yet, but you
were working on it. Yeah, I'll get job rolled on
there and we'll just fly him here for the wedding.
It'll be great.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Let's make sure we.

Speaker 7 (16:23):
Pay the traffic controllers though, because we need them up
to please. You're taking me on your plane and there's
no stop signs up there.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Well, we'll take care of I'll make sure everybody along.
I'll grease every air traffic controller along the way. It'll
be fine, Okay, But it's a billion dollars nine hundred
and sixty five million dollars, the eighth largest since the
game began in two thousand and two. Mega Million's Friday.
Did you guys see the Northern lights last than? If
you live in a city, you probably did, or if
you live in US city, you probably didn't see it.

(16:52):
But a severe solar storm is painting northern lights in
the sky as far south as Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and
even northern Florida. Breathtaking phenomenon occurs when charge particles from
the Sun interact with gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Causing
glowing curtains of green, red, and purple light in the sky.

(17:12):
The Space Weather Prediction Center that's a place I guess,
issued a G four Severe geomagnetic storm watch for Tuesday
and today. G four is the second strongest level on
the five step scale. So it's four, but it's not
like me G five. I'm G five. I'm fifth on
the list the funniest people. But for most people this
impact the impact will be limited to stunning skies, but

(17:36):
the event may also pose risks for voltage control problems
in power systems, GPS, navigation errors, and intermittent issues with
radio and satellite operations. You ever seen them before? They're beautiful?

Speaker 6 (17:47):
Yes, Aurora Borealis say, wow, defall, that's really good.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I love them. I saw them. I was an Iceland.
I saw them. I've seen them a couple other times, toupid,
but I went on a specific guided too or to
see them. And I thought, you've ever been on a
what was that thing that you used to do in
the Okay? I had it a minute ago in summer camp.
When you were a kid. You'd go on a hunt
for something that never existed. What was it called? It

(18:12):
was like a joke that the councilors would be like,
we're out here to do and someone will know it.
We're we're doing a way you go out at night
with flashlights and it was a hunt. You were trying
to find something, but it's it's now it's a metaphor,
but like it wasn't a thing. It was a joke,
Like kids didn't realize that you were looking for something
that didn't really exist. Oh gosh, somebody will text it.
But I felt like that's what we were I felt

(18:32):
like that's what we were doing because we drived it
like pitch black in the middle of nowhere in Iceland,
and it guy'd be like, no, no, I know, I
know where we can see him, and we'd drive to
this place and we just sit in complete pitch black,
like six or seven of us in this bus, and
it'd be like no, no, no, no, don't worry, like
I always see them when we're here. And then we
sit there for like forty five minutes into silence, and
I'm like, do we have to be silent for them

(18:53):
to come or right? And we didn't really weird, we
drove around for like three hours, we never saw them,
and then like I was walking into my hotel and
then I'm like, oh, that's really cool. Now what was
it called? Us? Snipe hunt? Is that what it was called? Look,
I hope I didn't just say something highly offensive. No,

(19:13):
I think that was what was called because it would
be like the counselors at summer camp when you're young,
and'll be like, all right, get your flashlight for going
out looking for him. But then it was just basically
a hunt for nothing.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Type of practical joke or fool's errand errand in existence
in North America. Okay, thank you, Yes, as early as
the eighteen forties.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, so we're going on a snipe punt and then
you go out there and look at it. These says
there's no such thing. That's what I felt like we
were doing. We were just driving around and this dude
from Iceland's like, no, no, no, this is my secret spot.
We always see him here. No, never happens anyway. You
can see him outside your house and you know, in
the suburbs if you're lucky. The legendary mac rib sandwich
is back on the menu of McDonald's, but with a catch.

(19:53):
The sandwich returns this week for a limited time, but
only in select locations Miami, Dallas, Cleveland, Saint Louis, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle,
and LA. The McRib, according to the company, is the
most mentioned limited time product online and it will cost
you anywhere between five bucks and seven bucks, depending on
where you live. And there was a big scandal here.

(20:13):
Very early in the history of our show, there was
a big McRib scandal. I think it was within my
first ninety days. I mentioned that I did not like
the McRib and I didn't get it, and I liked
McDonald's a lot.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
I do.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
I continue to like McDonald's. I had it yesterday. I
like McDonald's a whole lot. I don't like the mccrib.
I don't really get it. It doesn't First of all,
it doesn't have to look like a rib. I do
this rant every year. It doesn't have to look like
a rib. Why do they look like a rib? There
are no bones. There are no bones in the McRib,
but they may form it like it's a rib, but
it's not a rib. They took the meat off, so
why did they do that? It doesn't have to And

(20:49):
then it did they dip it into barbecue sauce. It's
bread barbecue sauce, onions and pickles. There's nothing wrong with it.
It's just I don't need it. I don't need I
get something else at McDonald's. So I said this, and
then I get a call from Earl Jones, the the
market president. What did you do? What did you do?
Screaming at me? What did you do? Screaming at me?

(21:09):
I said, what do you talk? I mean, I barely
knew this man, he used to play in the NFL,
very intimidating guy. I said, what are you talking about?
You'll say you didn't like the McRib and McDonald's canceled
all their advertising, A million dollars gone, all because of you.
I remember saying to him. I go, dude, I love McDonald's.
I don't like the McRib Like I don't eat every
flavor of ice cream at thirty one flavors, I don't

(21:30):
have to like all of them doing so. The compromise was,
were you part of this, Jason?

Speaker 2 (21:34):
I heard about it, but I don't think I was
involved in the room for that.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
The compromise was that I had to eat a McRib
on the air and apologize, and I did, and the
representative from McDonald's came and brought the McRib and they said, ha,
like we just wanted some free advertising. We weren't gonna
do it. Yeah, did you like it? Yeah? I did.
It's pretty good. It's pretty good. It tastes like uh

(21:59):
Barbie sauce in sort of solid form. It was really good.
It's not.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
You won't catch me say I love the mag Rep.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
But like it.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
I don't have it.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
I don't have to love everything. I don't want a
phone call one every day. Sense now, I buy hundreds
of them when they come out and freeze them. And
that was actually the other part of the bell I
have to eat one a day. No, hey, I didn't
dislike it. I just don't really get it. I don't
think it's the best thing at McDonald's and people go
nuts for it, which is which is genius, right because

(22:34):
they only bring it out certain times a year or whatever.
It's brilliant, the whole thing. But there are ten things
I would order McDonald's before i'd order that. Don't tell
Giddeyon and the Assassin my trainer. But I'm a regular
at McDonald's. They know me downstairs, they know me by name.
They're very nice people down there. But you know, what
I mean, Like, can you think of places where you
love something other than the thing that everyone goes crazy for.
I'm sure you can come up with it right now, right.

Speaker 3 (22:55):
I wouldn't dare say it?

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Come on, come on, tell me.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
I don't know that phone.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I'm not trying to do this today.

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Nope, he doesn't. He doesn't work here anymore. Anyway. Set
up to McDonald's and you're welcome for the ten minute
commercial because you look. I don't know people like the
filet of fish at McDonald's, Like that is not the
thing that I'm going to order a McDonalds. I'm gonna
go down and get a big Mac quarter pounder. I'm
gonna I have my first big Mac like two years ago,
change my life. I don't know how I went all
this time without ever having a big market delicious, a

(23:22):
lot of bread, but it's delicious a lot. But I'll
go down and I get like a two cheeseburger meal,
get some nuggets. I can go crazy.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
You know.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Breakfast is my favorite. I love breakfast at McDonald I
love it, but I just did. I don't like the
McRib but it was it was tasty. And you can
get him if you live in one of the cities
I mentioned, and speaking of someone who loves fast food,
a Florida woman was arrested after deputies clocked her doing
one hundred and seven and a fifty five. I believe
this was in Florida. When stopped, the twenty one year

(23:49):
old said that she was just trying to get to
Little Caesar's before it closed at midnight for her Hot
and Ready pizza. She was booked for reckless driving and
later released unbond. Okay, so I'll ask this question around
the room and then we'll move on. But if you
were to be clocked Kiki going one hundred and seven
and a fifty five to get to a restaurant before

(24:10):
it closed, which one would it be? I would guess,
but I'm not sure I know the answer. Don't guess. Culvers. Oh,
it's delicious. If you don't have a Culver's near you
for some reason, that's a shame. I'm sorry for it.
It's a shame, Kaylin.

Speaker 4 (24:26):
So I'm in between these two. It's either Culvers or
Taco Bell. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Hand that's so excellent choices?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Oh, I ordered? So have you ever used the app?

Speaker 4 (24:36):
I know the Taco Bell app. It is the best
app I've ever used. There's different deals, there's different combos,
it's cheaper. Oh my goodness, I got meals for two.
I don't eat a Taco Bell all weekend.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Ah funny, Jason. Yeah, I don't think Taco Bell is
safety eat after but fourteen minutes, it doesn't do what
it does to you. To me, no, I just mean
like it becomes rock hard. Oh no, I guess that
cheese those little cheese pieces, like they're perfect when you
get them, but if you wait about eight to eight
to nine point two minutes, then they all all of
a sudden become like molten or like like not molten.

(25:08):
They become like, you know, like like mountain right right.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's like.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
There's a warning label on the paper if you look
at it. So they'll deliver it too within the app.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Within the app, and they have their own special deals.
They actually have items that are not on the normal
menu that are in the app. And I apologize to
Jason because he was he was telling me this for years.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
And oh my god, reaching the app.

Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yeah, Jason, Taco bells for you.

Speaker 8 (25:33):
Yeah, I mean I say, like a level of like
craving Taco Bell like I'm constantly thinking about I have
to stop myself from thinking about it, like I would
eat it every day if I can.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
I saw a video on TikTok yesterday.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
This man and I'll send it to you, tells you
how you can get a full belly of taco bell
for fifteen dollars on the app using all of the
little special codes and rewards and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (25:53):
Did you see the red Hot menu? I'm all red hot,
the Frank's Red Hot menu.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
Ah, my mind, it's familiar. I know they are you
policed to going off about this. They brought back the
like the Y two K stuff, the double decker taco
they brought back to that. I think the apple little
apple pie things. Yeah, I mean elaits. Someone said the
double decker is the bomb. Someone said take out the
middle bread and the big mackets elite. No, it's true. Yeah,
take that now for you. You're gonna get caught. You

(26:18):
always drive one hundred and seven and fifty five. But
if you but if this was something new, then what
would we catch you? Where would we catch you going?

Speaker 5 (26:25):
Honestly, it'd be Portillo's Because I'm a hot dog girl.
I only have one a year that's not true at all.
I have won the week, but I would definitely do that,
and then sometimes I wouldn't even sub it for the plant.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
The Pampley's hot dog, it's a good one. Taste the same, really,
it's amazing, the same.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
I just throw everything on top of it, the relish
and everything, and the onions and the what is it
called sports peppers.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
All that sport. I think it's just one sport, but yeah,
I think so it could be multiple, you know, just
all the peppers, peppers.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Yeah, I throw everything on there. I'm a hot dog girl.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah. Yeah, we've had this debate recently. I think about
the Chicago hot dog that people don't seem to understand.
I think it's more of a salad with meat. It's
an elite speaking of e laite. I've said that four
times in this thing. But it's it is a It
is a perfect combination of food. In my opinion, it's perfect.
You need every element of it, but it's perfect. It's
perfectly balanced. Someone was very, very smart when they came
up with them. Water Burger would be mine. And they're

(27:15):
spreading out slowly Texas area. I think Texas is maybe
where they started. It was a Texas company. I think
Venture Capital bought them in Illinois. Actually, I think they're
coming to Illinois. I think they can already be in
parts of all. I know. They just open one in
Raleigh near the radio station. My understanding because Trevor, who
is our boss there, he is a water Burger ficionado,

(27:36):
as am I. If you've never had it Huata Burger,
people don't think I say it right, even though I'm
the only one in here who's eating it. Huata Burger delicious.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
What can I dye eat anything there? I don't need burgers.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Oh, you're right? What I got? They got chicken?

Speaker 3 (27:53):
Yeah, that's my ma asking. Okay, I want to try it.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
They got chicken. They got nice chicken. They got chicken
with a gravy. You can they thicken fingers with it
like a homestyle gravy. Yeah. And they have chicken sandwiches.
I think they have burgers. They have any things in them.
Maybe maybe they have some form of I'm not sure
you're right. You wouldn't eat that though. No, there's something
for everybody at water Burger. But the shakes are delicious. No,

(28:17):
you gotta have it. And it's national friendship day. So
there you go, and now everyone's hungry. And I'm sorry
about that, but that was twenty minutes. I was talking
about food and the Northern lights, which those two things
are not connected, and anyway whatsoever. Honorable mention on the
food for Bojangles, and not everybody has that. Bojangles though delicious.

(28:39):
The breakfast, oh, if you see one pull in, you'll
thank me later. Dairy queen. Dairy queen is underrated. If
you go to a dairy queen Brasier, you know where
they actually make it, like the actual food underrated. But
I've been very upset before when I've seen a dairy queen.
I'm like, that's awfully small to me making burgers and stuff.

(29:01):
And I walk in there like, well, we don't. We
don't do it. We just do the ice cream here,
we don't have the whole thing. I had to walk out.
I didn't. I bought a blizzard then I walked down,
but I was very upset. In and out Burger people
will go crazy for that. In and out Burger. Sure,
shake shack shakeshack is fine.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
I love shack is fine.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
Not I'm never mad about a shakeshack. They got that
smokestack Burger. It's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (29:22):
It's not just fine, you're crazy. I mean it's it's
in the top five. Okay, you're in the top five. Kalin,
it's in the top five. And it was Oh, Kaitlin Waterberger,
what at burger? You gotta try the honey buttered chicken biscuit. Okay,
Well there you go. There's but you can eat.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Caln's entertainer report. He's on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 3 (29:42):
What can I eat?

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Their?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Wow? I mean that's what you should eat, but you
don't eat them. What a burger is what you should eat.
But I know it's not your thing.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Water There's no we are I know I remember that
lore too. On the show.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Actress Ruby Rose blames Sidney Sweeney for the disappointing box
office performance of the new movie Christy, which starred Sidney
as boxer Christy Martin. Now. Ruby claims that she was
originally attached to the project and says the movie was
incredible in its original script form. She says Sydney ruined
the film and she called her a Cretan. She said

(30:24):
Christie deserved butter. I had to look up what a
Cretan met. I guess it's just not a smart person.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Like it's like a like a creature, like a bad,
nasty creature, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Oh, I thought.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
It says a stupid person or a person whose mental
and physical development has been impaired by a deficiency of
thyroid format.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, well, I didn't realize it was a real word.
I thought a cretan was like the way you would
describe a like some sort of fictional yeah, you know,
sort of blob.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
I don't know, it sounded like biblical.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
I didn't realize you ever call a humans and don't
ever do that, right, I don't.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yeah, I'm not going to use that.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Despite the backlash, one thing about said, she's going to
stand on it.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
She stood by the film.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
She said that she was still deeply proud of it
despite the disappointing box office performance. Speaking of movies, and
this is just perfect Sabrina Carpenter is set to star
in and produce a brand new musical film inspired by
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which is a classic by Lewis
Carroll orre. It is that she actually pitched the idea
herself more than a year ago, and while it's still

(31:26):
not titled, and plot details are being kept under wraps.
The creative team includes a lot of heavy hitters and
you know Universal, so it's probably going to be amazing.
The film marks a next big chapter in her career,
bridging her music and acting worlds and bringing Wonderland to
life in a fresh musical way.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
And she was in that high school musical, the musical
The Show, right.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
So she yeah, yeah, I know she's act before.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
I know she was like a Disney kid, right, and
then I know because I know her in Olivia.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
That's how they like mess right. I think that she
did some acting before, so she's going to bring it
back together.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Speaking of music, at a Questlove hosted event on November eighth,
so I think last week, the drummer and producer dropped
a hint about new music from the late D'Angelo.

Speaker 3 (32:15):
He said, you'll see soon. Of course.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
D'Angelo passed away October fourteenth this year, leaving behind an
unfinished body of work. Questlove described the upcoming project as
always the sound of yesterday, but for the future again.
No official title, release date, or track list, but it
looks like it's coming. If you were a fan and
other music news, If you are a Megan Moroni fan.

(32:38):
She's going to drop her third album, Cloud nine on
February twentye so you're gonna have to wait like a
little bit. But during her am I Okay tour, she
gave fans a listen to a couple songs slated for
the track list. The songs were beautiful things and six
months later, which is I'm addicted to six months later?

Speaker 2 (32:57):
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
When she was over the other night, she played the
album for me. Was great. I loved it.

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Yeah, she left Bradley Green's to come to my house.
She was pretty disappointed, but she still played the album
for him.

Speaker 3 (33:05):
Before she was she did, okay, what was your favorite song?

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Oh, I can't tell you. There was some unreleased track sciting.
I mean I heard the whole thing. So you're gonna
have to wait till February, but I'd look out for tracking.
We didn't do much talking. We did a lot of listening,
a lot of listening.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Okay, she didn't tell you what album was.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Why would she just played it for me? I mean,
I'm not going to buy it. I already have it, right, you.

Speaker 4 (33:24):
Already have it, so then you already know that it's
divided into sides A, B and C.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I don't know I heard AB and C. I mean
just played them consecutively the journey together, so it was
it was it was, you know, a long journey.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
She is very beautiful.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
She is a very attractive person and.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Such a southern like sorority girl, like you can tell
like she went to a southern college.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
She did the whole sorority thing.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
Yeah, if she closed her eyes, I looked just like
Bradley Green.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
So it was exciting, totally, absolutely love that for you.

Speaker 4 (33:53):
If you want to catch up on anything from our
show that you missed from any day, the Friend Show
on demand on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
That's how you could do that.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Did you not say KFC as a can't see alumnus
because you ran a KFC for some time? Did you
not mention it because you're just over it, because you've
just you worked there and you've had too much.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Yeah, I've never you know, I don't enjoy it like that,
did you ever? I just had to get that money
back in the day.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, Well, I know you didn't work there because you
were sand like, I know you didn't like, oh my god,
it's Mecca can I work here someday, Like, no, I
know that's not why, but I just figured maybe you
liked the product because you could have chosen to work
at a lot of places. Yeah, no, it's cool, it's cool.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Yeah, I got sick of it.

Speaker 4 (34:38):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
I started remixing dishes and they're like making my own combos.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
What was the best What was the best remixed KFC
dish that you made for yourself?

Speaker 7 (34:46):
I personally started the mashed potato bowl. I made that up,
and they didn't give me credit for that. Thank you
sell your work, Sanders who And then they didn't want
to give me credit. So and I made the macaroni
and mashed potato ball. So you want scoop of mac
want scooba mash and all the other stuff. Man, Yeah, man, innovative.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
That's amazing. Congratulations. You don't need that billion dollars in
the Mega millions because you already got a seven eighty
seven because you've entered the mashed potato bowl. I was done,
but I'll keep talking. I hadn't know, but well, I mean,
I was familiar with Ophelia. I think said she said
affheliate A lot of times. I thought for me, I

(35:29):
think maybe the last one was one too many. I
was right on the edge of ophelia, and then it
was one more and it was too much. You know,
too much of a good thing. Kline, It's just moving
things along. If someone texted this, it's a great question.
Let us know if you work. We don't have to
do this now, but we should write it down. Let
us know. If you worked at a restaurant like Kiki

(35:50):
KFC and still crave their food, that's very telling. I
would also like to know at some point along the
same lines, if you worked at a restaurant and have
a secret menu item that is elite. I'm gonna say
elite one more time this hour, and then I'm banning
the word for the rest of the day, even though
I probably will keep saying it. Somebody that you invented
because you work there, and you know, like if you know,

(36:12):
you know, and maybe maybe the lay the lay public
can't have it, but you know, the lay public, the layman,
like the average person, there was.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
You know a lot of words.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
You faw. I just maybe I can't walk into Applebee's
and order what you know is amazing, But you put
two things together and then boom, oh yeah, yeah, I
love to get to them. Maybe tomorrow will make people
hungry with the same thing. Let's do blogs in waiting
by the phone. It's new end, more fresh show next

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
