entire life, and maybe you just recently realized that you
weren't saying it. Colleen, there's got a I mean, how
many do we have for you?

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, maybe this is how it's gonna be for I
don't know how the show would be if I didn't
at least have to somewhat focus on the buttons, because
we're gonna find out, I guess today, because if all
I had to do was talk, oh boy, I mean,
just feed up on the desk and give me one
of those like sportscaster headset things and I just forget
about it.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
There'd be no focus whatever.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
You's so good, right, hit us, hit us up on threads.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
That was the one. I don't even I think I resisted.
I think that's the one I said no enough or not,
I can't do it.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
I'm still staying strong.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Same same.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Then. Every now and again, Instagram will trick me and
be like someone just said something incredible, you click on
it and it tries to get you to download the
stupid app. I'm like, oh man, we should do that
for the iHeart app. Caitlin just said something incredible and
then you know you got to click on it and
download the thing waiting on the phone is new this morning?
Why did somebody get ghosted?

Speaker 7 (02:53):
Can't East Court but ump bump girl, close your legs.
Oh okay, yes, show vis Shelley with Money, The Entertainment Report,
Fun Fact headlines, blogs, all that's coming up? What are
you working on today?

Speaker 8 (03:08):
Ka the singer that says he was ghosted by Justin Bieber.
Also Sean Kingston finally sentenced in that whole mess with
his mom and the Backstreet Boys residency at this fear
almost didn't happen because of just one of them.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Okay, guys, I have to I'm absolutely shook it. I'm
shook I something's happening in the world, and I have
to address it.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I have to just start the show.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
I got to go right off the top, and I
hate to get serious, but what is going on with
new hotel room design? Because if you stayed in a
newer hotel room lately, have you noticed her trying to
get cute with certain aspects? Like for example, I stayed
in one over the weekend and I was by myself,
so no big deal, and I'm going about my business.

(03:54):
And after the second day of staying in this hotel,
I realized the bathroom doesn't have a door.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
What there's no door on the bathroom.

Speaker 9 (04:04):
Not even like a sliding one or a curtain.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
No, no, like it's just it's just like a I
don't even know. It's just an opening. Like so you
walk in the room. You got the closet. Oh, it's
very modern. I'm not gonna say that it's a it's
a Marriotte property. I'm not gonna say which one it is,
but it's they got like this. You know, you walk
in open closet over here, very industrial, you know, gray

(04:30):
and whatever. They got the bed, they got a little
couch desk, you know, typical hotel room. And so I'm
just going about my and then I get in the
shower this morning and I'm like or yesterday morning, and
I'm going about my business, and I realized, like.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
There's no door.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now this is not what would you first of all,
what would you do if you were in a relationship,
because there's no door on the toilet part either, because
it's you know, the toilet and the sink and the shower,
it's all this one room. And then it's there's no door,
there's no curtain, there's no nothing. So the shower doesn't
bother me nearly as much as the toilet it does,
Like what am I supposed to do. If I'm there
with someone else, I don't care how comfortable you are

(05:04):
in your relationship. Like if something's about to go down,
I can't even close the door and pretend it's not happening.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Is there a bar in your shower?

Speaker 6 (05:14):
One of those you know, handicapped rooms maybe and you
just don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh, you know, like an excessive Yeah, No, I don't.
I don't think so. No, there's no I know what
you mean.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Like the little silver bar? Is there a seat in
your shower?

Speaker 6 (05:37):
Do you have a white jackie wall?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
The walls were padded. I don't know why.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
It's cragging herself up for me.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Somebody came in last night and gave me something in
a little white cup. I don't know what that was.
But there's no door there, any sheets either. It was
just it was just a plastic mattress. But I mean,
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Is that weird?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
They sedated me last night, but there's no door on
the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'm a polled.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
But then I was in what I was in another
hotel that I didn't pay for. It was for work
a few weeks ago. And then the shower looked right
out into the bathroom, and you could I guess you
could like do something to make it so that you didn't,
but like the standard thing was you do it would
just shower and then there was the bed right there.
I think you could frost the glass or something.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
This is a little bit fancy, but like the shot,
that's I can deal with, Like, okay, that maybe that's
a little sexy, Like you see me if I'm there
with someone, you've seen me naked before, Like that's not
a big deal.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
But it's the.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Toilet exposure that is extremely problematic for me.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Like do you say you guys are all in relationships?

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Do you say, like, hey, you gotta go for a
walk or something because I'm about to use the doorless bathroom,
Like what do you do?

Speaker 9 (06:57):
I would go to the lobby, Like if it was
like about to go down, I would have to go
to the lobby. But I'm wondering do they have like
single person hotel rooms, like if they know you're staying
by yourself or they're like here's like one room.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I thought the same thing. I thought I thought that.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
I thought, like dude, maybe did the woman say like
this lonely man can't stay in our single room. Finally
we have a use for this room with no door
in the bathroom or that I was. I was fored
by this, like I don't know. I couldn't believe it.
I don't know how they get away with this, and.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
That's very odd.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
These hotels are doing everything but putting a microwave back
in the room. And it's really making me upset because
I went to a hotel recently and the lighting, like
I don't want to play around with the lights, like,
give me one switch that.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Turns this off.

Speaker 6 (07:47):
Oh yeah, I'm standing here pressing all these buttons trying
to figure out what light it operates.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
I don't need all that.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah yeah, no, I mean I noticed that last night too.
There was like the reading light and then and then
there was like this if you push one button, everything
goes off. If you push this and then everything comes away.
But what if I just want one I don't want
everything and you're walking around yes, yeah, yeah, no, I was.
I don't know, guys, I just I was curious how
those of you who travel with other people, which is

(08:15):
most people, how you would deal with something like this,
because I don't know. I realized that even if there
were a door. A lot of people will go to
the gym, you know, for a little workout, and it's like,
you don't work out? I know, but I'm going to today. No,
I don't the lobby. I know the lobby is an option,
but I just thought, how would you get away with this?
I mean, even if you had to pee, it's like

(08:37):
zero privacy. It's right there, that's in beare.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
I don't know I can do this. Does Shelley leave
the door open next to me here?

Speaker 6 (08:44):
I'm sorry Shelley, but yeah, some people in their relationships
are very comfortable and they'll leave.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
The door open. I don't don't.

Speaker 9 (08:53):
No, I'll go number one with the door open. But
what if it's time for number two? You gotta you gotta.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
I don't need no, right, especially A lot of shows
has been had, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Oh yeah, Like I was in another hotel room that
oh yeah, no, no, maybe just two rooms if you
had some lactose like yeah, but like the it was
it was very modern. It was in it was when
I was on vacation.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
It was a I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
They were going for modern, over the top, like it
looked like a space ship in this room. I don't
know what was going on, but the bed, I mean
I could. I could lay in the bed and touch
the bathroom door. And then the bathroom had its own
little thing, and then the shower was like like a store,
like a storefront door, you know, like with completely glass

(09:39):
and you even had a little handle on it. Like
I was looking for the sign that said like come
back at eight or whatever, you know, on the door,
and I sent a picture of it to someone and
this person was like, dude, that is a one person
only hotel room. Like I mean, if I'm laying in
bed and you're in the bathroom, like if the door
were open, I could touch you.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
It's very weird. What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
And I know we're going for efficiency, I know, but
the thing is this hotel room I stayed over the
weekend was not a small hotel room.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's a very large hotel room. It was pretty big.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
So it's not even like we were going for space
savings here, but even if we were, a door would
be nice, like and then I started looking at I
really analyzed this. I'm looking at like the hinges like,
well does someone break the door and they I don't know,
there's no place for a door.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
A choice was made right, and I got it.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I mean, it's like, I want to go downstairs at
the front deska, I want. I wanted to be like, hey,
does every room not have a door in the bag
or is it just mine? Or am I like the
loser room like Jason said there, it's like, ah, there's
nobody in there with him, so who cares? They don't
need a door for that room, you know what I mean.
Christopher Frederick's coming, I won't be with anybody. It'll be fine.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Give him the loser room, you know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
I was.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I thought maybe you guys would have the same sort
of visceral reaction to this that I did, but I
was very upset about it.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (10:54):
And also with like all the showers flooding now in
these new Fingle showers now with no door, it's just
flooding the whole room. What's gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, I don't know, but that's that's what I had
to deal with. And thank god I'm in the loser
room alone. No, thank you, thank you. I'm gonna talk
to my therapist about it this week. It'll be fine.
We'll get to the bottom of.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Its biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
You guys, I'm supposed to be doing these trending stories,
you know, for everybody, but sometimes, you know, I pick
stories just for people in the room. And the top
story today is for Kaylin and for Kaalen only. And
if you went to the University of Michigan, which of
course Kalyn went to Michigan State rivals. If you went
to the University of Michigan, you can just you can
turn away for a second. You don't have to hear this.
If you went to Michigan State or Ohio State, or

(11:37):
anyone who hates Michigan, turn it up a little bit.
Because the NCAA has fined Michigan tens of millions of
dollars on Friday and suspended the head coach for a
third game as punishment for a sign stealing scandal. The
NCAA said that it has overwhelming evidence of a cover
up by the Wolverine staff and noted that there were
sufficient grounds for a multi year postseason ban against the program,

(11:59):
now considered a repeat violator, but the governing body stopped
short of program crippling punishments, saying a two year postseason
van would unfairly penalize student athletes for the actions of
coaches and staff who are no longer there. The coach
who's facing a school imposed two games suspension this season
will also sit out for the first game of the

(12:20):
twenty twenty six to twenty seven season. The biggest blow
came from the financial penalties were expected to exceed twenty
million dollars. You're not supposed to do that, I guess
high cheaters. But there's a whole documentary about this. It
was actually pretty interesting. But there's I guess there was
one assistant coach or associated I don't know. He was
not a I don't think he was a main guy

(12:42):
on the team, but it's on Netflix. I think it's
pretty brilliant how he managed to figure out by watching
video and going to games. I mean, it's cheating, but
he was able to like figure out what the other
teams were going to do based on watching and studying,
you know, all the different methods from the sideline into
the game and whatever. And then he would go back
and report this to the team allegedly, and then they knew,

(13:05):
you know, what defense is to put out or what
was coming because this one guy figured it all out,
and then of course now this guy can't get a job,
even though it's kind of brilliant. I mean, it's cheating,
but it's kind of brilliant, you know, if you're that.
I don't know to be able to figure all that
stuff out because every team has different methods for whatever
they're doing.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
But thoughts on this, Kaitlin, I mean.

Speaker 5 (13:26):
I'm not shocked. There are a bunch of cheaters.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
They always have been.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I just wanted I was going to give you a
chances to say freely what you feel.

Speaker 5 (13:33):
I feel like that that is on track with them,
that fan base. I'm in a fight with them on TikTok.

Speaker 8 (13:39):
If anyone is interested, they will not stop coming at
me because I just simply posted a video being loving
Michigan State and uh yeah, they cheat And that's how
I feel.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Thank you, Kaitlyn, thank you, thank you very much. Have
you guys met Blaze yet? Blaze the Minnesota Vikings male cheerleader.
Have you seen it?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Have you seen Blaze?

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Ye?

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Because Blazey is that girl. He really is put two
new cheerleaders, Blaze and Louie, made history this season by
joining the Minnesota Vikings cheer squad as its first men
on the squad.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
But not everybody's happy. Does that shock anyone?

Speaker 6 (14:19):
Now?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Some fans complained online and even threaten to give up
on the team because we put two men on the
cheerleading team. Instead of backing down, though, Blaze he's not
backing down from anyone. He posted a picture of himself
and Louie in their uniforms on Instagram with the cheeky caption, wait,
did someone say our names? The Vikings quickly stood by them,

(14:42):
pointing out that male cheerleaders aren't new, Plenty of college
teams and even about a third of NFL squads already
have them. The team also stressed that Blaze and Louie
went through the same tough tryouts as everybody else and
earned their spot fair and square. Despite the noise of
backlash hasn't hit the team. Spottom line, No fans have
actually canceled their season tickets. But people are very upset
about this, and I really don't think it's that big

(15:03):
a deal. It's it's it really isn't that uncommon. It's
it's true, it's been in college forever, and I don't know,
it's not as I know there are debates about other things.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
This is not that so anyway, but Blaze is that girl,
and Blaze Blaze rocks it. Like I got to say,
he is, he is. He understood the assignment the hair
for me right here.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
And it doesn't move. You'd be doing flips and stuff right. Sorry,
But someone named Blaze chic Blaze. If that's Blaze's real name,
then Blaze was either meant to be a cheerleader or
a porn star or both. And I think it's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
So there you have it.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Would you allow a robot to carry your baby? Because
that's a real story this morning. Chinese scientists working on
something straight out of science fiction, robots that could one
day carry and give birth to human babies. The plan
is to build humanoid robots equipped with artificial wombs machines
that could nourish a baby for nine to ten months,

(16:05):
just like a natural pregnancy. Nutrients would be delivered through
a special tube, and when the time comes, the robot
would even be able to give birth to the baby.
The technology for artificial wombs already exists, but putting it
inside of a robot brings challenges. Fertilization implantation to figure
out exactly how a mechanical body would deliver the baby.
Even so, a working prototype could be ready by twenty

(16:26):
twenty six for about fourteen thousand dollars, which is cheaper
than human surrogacy. Would you guys do this either because
you don't want to carry the baby or because maybe
you wouldn't be able to have a baby.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Would you go for this? No, no, it's not hard.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
You'll stay in the hotel room with no doors on
the bathroom. Okay, I got it right. So we're worri Okay,
so we're willing to accept modern technology to a certain point.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Right, because what if my baby start acting like the
thing for Wizard of Oz or like you know, sorry, yeah,
the ten one baby just randomly started like malfunction.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
How to oil up his joints would be good?

Speaker 3 (17:04):
No, No, I don't need we don't need this.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
We don't need this.

Speaker 6 (17:09):
Come on, man, we're racing ourselves have babies. Okay, pay
somebody else, Lena to make me a beautiful baby. Oh no,
my shop is closed.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
I mean I recognize that you know, accepting technology and
and if any you know things to help families who
aren't able maybe to conceive or carry a baby or whatever.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, but you gotta remember that.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I mean, what was it last year we did a
story about how an AI fake person fell in love
with a human and then was like saying that it.
I mean, it sort of went rogue and even the people,
the scientists, and it was saying all this crazy stuff
and that people are you know, why is it saying this?
And the scientists are like, we don't really know. We know,

(17:54):
you've got a mind of its own now, like coming
up with all this, So is that what we need
is like for babies to come out of something like that?
And then I mean, we don't really know. It's crazy
to me, like we don't really know.

Speaker 6 (18:04):
No, we don't like, let the robot write your essay,
you know what I'm saying. Let the robot do your
homework or whatever.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
But come on, man, that word family court, get child
custody or something like, I don't.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
Right, baby, all of a sudden, I'm on, judge mathis
versus a robot. It's like, what's going on?

Speaker 3 (18:31):
Not paying a robot child support?

Speaker 1 (18:32):
No, I don't know.

Speaker 8 (18:36):
If they research it, I'm okay with it, But you
don't even like Chad gptn't have your baby, yes, but yes,
but I'm always opening new ways for people to be
able to have babies.

Speaker 6 (18:47):
I know it.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
I mean I would, Yeah, I.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Would carry my own if I could, but I would
certain if I needed other options.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
I would want other options available.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I would pay Jason what.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
You'd rather have them put.

Speaker 9 (19:00):
Actually, I honestly I would rather that too.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
I used to.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
I used to data obg An briefly. I wish I
could call her.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I don't think she really liked to hear from me,
but I wish I could call her because what I'd
like to know is about sort of what that would
mean for the baby, Like like how how influential or
how important is the human touch or the human element
of this?

Speaker 1 (19:26):
You know the I don't.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I don't know, or does the baby come out and
then it bonds with whoever you hand it to. I
don't mean to sound dumb, I just don't know, Like
if you know, is there is there some form of
of all of this that a robot can't duplicate that
a human can? You know?

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Like like what does this mean? What does it mean
for the kid? Is what I'm wondering.

Speaker 6 (19:47):
I do have to put it on a charger, right,
and what if I don't if I don't bring the
right charger, Because what I'm saying, Jason.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
All those margaritas to carry your baby, quit those kidneys
and liver.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
All of our parents did a little song while while
they were pregnant.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
You know, Hey, but it would be a brand new uterus.
So there's that, Yeah, bran spaking new right up in here. Yeah,
I'm not sure about this.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Diners are frustrated with unexpected surg charges added to restaurant bills.
That's trending today. Big cities like Chicago and San Francisco
are seeing this. I'm not sure if you've noticed it,
but fees often ranging from three to four percent of
the total bill include charges labeled as sustain I just
added high polenom sustainability surch charges the fees that are
attributed to factors like rising food costs and tariffs. Customers

(20:38):
argue that these surch charges are deceptive because when they're
not disclosed upfront on menus, they're only visible when the
bill arrives, so you don't really know what you're paying,
which I guess is I mean, I guess you can't
reprint menus all the time. But I would rather. It's
like they guy rid of the hotel surch charges. I
think everywhere. I would much rather just just put on
the what does it cost?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
You know what I mean? Like when I order it,
what is it? What is the cost?

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Not as thirty dollars for this, and then when I
get the bill it was really forty. Like I guess
I feel kind of duped when you do it that way.
I mean, just change the price of the item. You know.
It was like when you'd go to the hotel and
it was, well, the hotel was one hundred and ninety
nine dollars a night, but then by the time you
got out of the door was three hundred because you
had to pay for the door to go in the bathroom,
and you didn't know that when you did it. I mean,

(21:24):
would you guys, would you rather just know the price
up front? Or would you or do you mind getting
charged more at the end? Now tell me up front exactly.

Speaker 9 (21:32):
I need to budge any to move money around.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
I need to ask for favors, you know, right, Yeah,
I think so too.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
One of a kind basketball card featuring Kobe Bryant and
Michael Jordan is expected to be sold for six million
dollars at auction. The card is from the two thousand
and seven two thousand and eight Upper Deck Exquisite collection,
features autographs from both players, as well as different NBA patches.
It's currently available on the Heritage Auctions website as of
Saturday for five million. It's expected to sell for about

(22:00):
six point one million dollars for a basketball card.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Six point one million dollars. And you know this wasn't
really all that well thought out, I don't think, but
a California woman tried to smuggle a million dollars worth
of crack cocaine hidden in a giant wheel of parmesan
cheese into the UK. The woman was searched after landing
at Heathrow with the seventeen pound wheel of Peruvian parmesan.

(22:25):
The drugs were studied and the crack was considered ninety
four percent pure after undergoing a forensic analysis. The woman
has been setting for five years and three months in
prison after puating guilty to charges of importing Class A drugs.
I mean, if you're going through customs with an entire
wheel of cheese and that something from Italy you came,

(22:47):
I think she came from California. I don't know where
she came from, but you had a seventeen pound wheel
of cheese. You don't think that someone's gonna say in
customs or immigration or whatever. You don't make someone's gonna
go hey, can we talk about this the wheel of cheese.
It's in your bag, Like really, you don't think anyone's
gonna check it or.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
That's the best way to do this.

Speaker 9 (23:05):
I've seen enough of that to catch a smuggler to
know that any food that comes in goes through very
strict text testing.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Yeah, yes, yes, I forgot you watch that.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I love that show.

Speaker 9 (23:19):
It's so interesting the way like what people come up
with to try to get their drugs in, like cheez
you know.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, and I'm always amazed by the stupidity of the
people and to catch a smuggler. If you've seen this show,
because it's and by the way, the acting is just stellar.
I mean they find people. I think it's the same
people who do our HR training videos. But you know,
it's like a random person walks up to you and says,
do you want an all expenses paid trip to Ibitha

(23:44):
And you're and and forty thousand dollars in cash in
a briefcase.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
And you're like, sure, why not?

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Oh yeah, you know, and then when you get there
you find out that you have to stuff you know,
a wheel of cheese up your butt or something, and
then go through customs. I just I don't know, I might,
I might think about that a little bit before, and
then you wind up in some guatemal In prison with
no running water. It just doesn't seem worth it to me.
But you know, then again, big wheel of cheese and
forty grand Do you know the days, Caitlin? Do we

(24:11):
have the national days? Do we know? We are?

Speaker 1 (24:13):
We just going to skip over them? You know?

Speaker 5 (24:15):
I thought I had sent I do know them.

Speaker 2 (24:17):
Hold on, no, I did, truly, not that big a deal.
Maybe it's a Peruvian wheel of cheese in your butt day. Yes,
I'm going to celebrate.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
I've been waiting home all right. Ready.

Speaker 8 (24:26):
It is a National ice cream Day and National Fahira Day.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes, that is right, that is a fantastic day. I
don't know about both together. Caitlin's entertainer report is on
the Bread Show.

Speaker 8 (24:39):
Singer Sean Kingston was sentenced to three and a half
years in prison after being convicted of a one million.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
Dollar fraud screen fraud scheme.

Speaker 8 (24:48):
I can talk hello remember Sean along with his mom,
which is the craziest part of this whole story.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
Je, he's turner.

Speaker 8 (24:53):
We're found guilty back in March for getting one million
dollars of luxury items like cars and nice watches through
falsified I'm choking you guys, so I know it's.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Just hard for you to do. I know you're a
big Sean Kingston girls.

Speaker 2 (25:08):
Yeah, okay, I just want to like it because he's
going away for a while, which means no new hits.

Speaker 7 (25:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
Yeah, he's been bringing the hits ever since Beautiful Girls
and since.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Two thousand and six. Yes it's been a minute, but yeah,
it's going to be a minute longer it sounds, but
maybe three years more.

Speaker 8 (25:25):
No, I don't know. I think it's the Canadian fires.
I have this new choking thing that happens, so just
bear with me. But they basically didn't pay for those
really nice items. His mom was sentenced to five years
in prison last month, along with three years of probation.

Speaker 5 (25:37):
Sean is serving his sense immediately, so yes, I will
miss you.

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Sean.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Come back soon with more music.

Speaker 8 (25:44):
The Backship boys are absolutely crushing it with their residency
at the Sphere in Vegas, but one of them fully
wasn't on board when they started planning everything. So their
show has everything giant dancing robots, speaking of robots, a
really huge speaker, Sounds says, and a floating platform that
lifts the band up to eighty feet in the air.

Speaker 5 (26:05):
And all of the boys except Brian, we're totally into it.

Speaker 8 (26:08):
Brian is like very afraid of heights and he needed
convincing to even do this during the show. He even
uses a special support stand on the platform to help
him stay steady while soaring above the crowd for a
little extra support, but he says the show is like
no other, so he had to get over it.

Speaker 5 (26:24):
And fans are loving it so much that extra dates
were added. And I just had a friend come back
and they said it was the most amazing thing ever.
So I'm sure I won't be able to get tickets,
but fingers crossed.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Yeah, I really want to go, honestly.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
Yeah, I think right now. It says it ends in January.
I wonder Phil extended any longer.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
I want to go too.

Speaker 8 (26:43):
Lewis Capaldi says that he got totally ghosted by Justin
Bieber after a wild night at a party with Charlie
XCX and other celebs.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
He said Bieber came over to him and says, hey, man,
what's going on? And I'm like, you don't know my name.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
And he's like, of course I do. It's Lewis Capaldi.
He says they then exchange number. He was super excited,
and he said he even sent a mega sucking up
text the next morning and then crickets.

Speaker 5 (27:07):
He said Bieber never replied. It hurt his feelings.

Speaker 8 (27:10):
Meanwhile, Lewis is back on tour after a two year
mental health break break, saying that his selling out rather
his UK and Ireland shows in record time and even
added dates more dates, so he's doing really well. He's
blown away by the fan love. But if you're out there, Bieber,
I know he listens to the show, texts Lewis back
because he's really sad. He seeing you that whole text

Welcome back. You know, I know teachers are slowly creeping back.
I realized, you know, students. That means students after them.
That means that meets moms and dads driving their kids
to school. Guy, we're getting stronger, you guys.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I can feel it. I can feel that we're you know,
over the summer.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think we were like at seven point two seven
listeners and then the one, the one humanoid inside the robot.
But then I think we're getting back to thirteen.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
I really do.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
And it's very exciting. But I need to ask. We'll
get to blogs in a second, because Jason, you did
the most. Jason. Actually it's probably the least Jason thing
I can think of you. It's it's the least and
the most at the same time. We'll get to it
in blogs in just a second, but I gotta I
need some help from you guys. Eight five five five
three five. This is the only many of us. I

(28:47):
think it's true. This is the only job that we've
had in the last long time. I mean, this is
the only in the last long time. Yes, I got
a radio job in two thousand and three when I
graduated college. I was just a little baby, and I
knock on wood. I'm sure it's going to end soon,
but the way the way things are going, probably, but

(29:10):
uh right, but I have not It's shocking, and I
don't want to say it out loud, but let's just
say I've had a radio job my whole my whole
adult life. And I don't I don't know. I don't
think I would know how to interview for a job
I really don't like today.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
I don't. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
And then I hear about my friends who were interviewing it,
like Meta and Amazon, and and it takes weeks to
prepare for the interview. And then I knew one girl
who interviewed at Amazon, and so she was it was
a virtual interview. She was on her computer, but behind
her computer on the wall. She had the entire wall
covered in big sheets of paper with potential answers to

(29:47):
interview questions and like games and like theories and stuff
that they might ask in these interviews. So this is
what I'm curious though, if you could tell me why
would I need AI? And I'm is sincerely because I
don't know why would I need AI for a job
interview and how would I get away with that? Like
if I'm A lot of interviews are virtual, and I

(30:09):
guess people are using AI during their interview. I don't
know how you'd be able to do that and people
wouldn't know or why you would need to do it.
But now companies are going back to in person interviews
only to protect against job candidates using artificial intelligence tools
to cheat during remote interviews. So virtual interviews, I guess

(30:31):
are very common at Google and Cisco and McKenzie and
all these big firms, and now they want to go
back to face to face because either people are using
AI real time during the interview to come up with
answers or solutions or something, and then I guess if
they're not doing that, then they've got someone in the
room off camera listening to the questions and then aiding

(30:53):
them with answers. Now, I guess some of this is
true for like engineering and programming job where they might
ask you to do some coding stuff or whatever else,
But like I know, if and that makes sense, I
guess if you say you know how to code and
you don't, and they're like, how would you do this?
And you type it in or whatever and then it
tells you how to do it. But I mean, other

(31:14):
than that, what am I using a I for? Like
what do I need?

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Really?

Speaker 2 (31:19):
You know, I guess I'm confused, like what is it
going to tell me? What would the question being? What
would the end? Have you guys heard about this at all?

Speaker 8 (31:26):
No?

Speaker 9 (31:27):
But I guess I could see like sometimes like interview
questions stump you, so maybe and you never know like
what the right answer is. I feel like you always
want to make yourself out to like look better than not,
so maybe it would help you, like spin something like
what's your greatest strength or weakness?

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Or you know that question that is always a trap.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
I guess I can't remember an interview question. In the
one interview that I had, I don't know, it was
kind of like, hey, are you like a drug addict?

Speaker 6 (31:54):
No?

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Okay, are you I mean, like, are you a little
bit it's okay?

Speaker 8 (32:00):
Ell?

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Are you are you a like radio interview? Are you
a little off? Like are you a little messed up? Yeah?
But will you show up on time most of the time? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Okay, all right, okay, well then come on in you
got the job. Or in the case of Kalin's interview,
it was at a it was at a bar called Dublin's.
And and well, I don't I remember the interview. I
don't remember what I asked you or what was discussed,
because because I was already well well on my way

(32:28):
before we met up. And all I know is I
walked away thinking that's the one, that's the one, and
you got hired.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Oh well, thanks for thinking that's one.

Speaker 8 (32:36):
Jason was also there too, But remember one of the
suits also asked me to rank my top five sandwiches
from non chain restaurants and told me there was a
wrong answer, which I later found out was a turkey sandwich.

Speaker 5 (32:49):
But that threw me for a loop, and like he
was dead serious, and I think I passed.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
But what was your answer? What did you say?

Speaker 8 (32:58):
Oh my gosh, At the time, I think I said,
all these are local spots, but I think I said
JP Graziano's.

Speaker 5 (33:04):
I'm trying to remember which other are you ever in Chicago?

Speaker 1 (33:07):
You got to go to JP?

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Yeah, I mean there are super local but like I
think I passed.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
I never named a turkey sandwich, thank goodness, but but
I like a turkey sandwich.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
So like Jimmy John's was the wrong answer, I think.

Speaker 8 (33:19):
I think so, yes, it was. It was supposed to
be non chain. Yeah, but like that really scared me
because I was like, I prepared for everything, and like
You're looking at me like this is really.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Serious to you.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
I wonder what a I would have told you to say,
But I don't know. I guess, but how would you
be able and maybe you just really sly, but how
would you be able to type real time what the
person had just asked you and then get the answer
and then read the answer and nobody would know that
you did that?

Speaker 8 (33:46):
Right?

Speaker 9 (33:47):
Yeah, the timing would be off. I feel like it
would be a slight delay. I preferre you look at
you like they're looking off to the side. I just
freeze like, oh sorry, I can all right, And.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Then you know.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Paulina's interview a very famous story. She came in with
a whole notebook full all the things that were wrong
with the show, so A I couldn't have helped you there.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Well, you know what, if I was to do it
all over again today, I guarantee you Chat would give
me some lit ideas.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
That's true. I guess you could prepare for the interview
using using AI, But I don't know. This is crazy
to me. I guess, I don't. I don't understand fully
how you would be able to do that and get
away with it and not get caught.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
And I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Maybe maybe if you're slick enough to get through the
interview and get the job and you had to use
chat GPT to do it, maybe you should get hired
because I don't know. Maybe if you're that slick, I
don't know. I mean, what's more important whether I can
do it effectively or whether I really know how to
do it. It's two different things. Like maybe I don't

(34:48):
know how to do it, but I taught myself how
to do it using AI. I don't Maybe people just
right right exactly
