her game, and then you don't have to worry about
it anymore, Yes, Kiki, and for Shelley, and for somebody,
and for somebody, and for somebody and for somebody. What
do I have to get you this morning? I got
this thing here that Bella sent me yesterday. I haven't
listened to it yet. This is a talkback about me,
apparently from our friends ge O five and Raleigh, I guess,

(01:56):
and we listen to us in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
Let's listen to this is good. Here we go.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
I feel like doing Legos as an adult is just
like doing a puzzle.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
You just have a cooler shape at the end, and
that's three D.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
I think that is brilliant and fantastic, that it's absolutely
correct for all the people who've given me a hard
time about Legos, about my Lego Journey, which is stalled
out a little bit.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
Well, I just I haven't bought a new one yet,
but i'll tell you what comes out next week, Yes,
next week.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
The next one.

Speaker 6 (02:27):
It's it's it's a it's the plane that carries the spaceship.
Have you ever seen this thing before? No, it's a
seven forty seven that's build to move the spaceship around
because the spaceship has to be launched right. The spaceship
can't just like take off like a normal plane and
just fly around land or whatever. So when they got
to move it from one place to the other, you know,

(02:48):
like maybe from where it lands to where it launches
or I don't know, I don't know why they'd be
moving this thing around. But when they move the spaceship around,
they actually put it on top of a seven forty
seven and fly both. If you google right now, just
gonna blow your mind. Jason Goola, I think it's I
don't know what it's called, the spaceship lifter Lego thing.
I don't know what it's called, but it comes down
the fifteenth. I think that's going to be the next one,
because why wouldn't a forty year old man assemble legos

(03:11):
at his home.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
For legos, do you guys have like drops, like shoe
drops or like if something's coming out?

Speaker 5 (03:16):
It's really cool.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
Every week they have drops and people line up in
front of the Lego store to get the newest drops.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
No, yes, not for legos.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And these are grown people.

Speaker 6 (03:23):
This is grown well, yeah, because it's because kids can't
afford this stuff because it's expensive. Yeah, oh yeah, it's
I think this thing is like two hundred and fifty bucks.
I don't think I bought one that's less than two
hundred dollars. But maybe there's your fun fact for the
first fun fact of the day. Did you know that
there is a plane that flies the spaceship around and
you can build it starting next week with Lego building.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
But I don't see it as anything different than a puzzle.

Speaker 6 (03:45):
Then again, maybe people put puzzle and Lego together at
the same level of nerdiness. Like if you sit at
home put a puzzle together as a grown up, is
that I mean, no one really says much about that.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yeah, but if you put legos.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Together as a grown up, then it's like, but I
don't know, you got to see these legos he's not
your kids legos anymore.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Well, the ones I do are they're made for eight
year olds, but that's just my Did you put to panda? Yeah,
the panda's done. I haven't started the bunny yet. I
haven't had time, but I think this weekend I need
a little bit of a reset, so we might do it.
This might do the bunny.

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
See, the probably is I don't know what I'm gonna do.
And they look cool when they're done, but I really
can't have my apartment covered in legos. Like I write,
there is a limit at some point, and then no kids.
Like I once said, I would put these things together
and then donate them, but probably no kid wants the
one that's put together already.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
They want to put them together.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
So I know there are places that will take them
apart and then repackage them and resell them.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Oh my, is that job? Oh my?

Speaker 6 (04:40):
Because if you go get like a two thousand piece
lego set, then you've got twenty bags and somebody has
to reorganize.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
I mean that sounds like way too much work. That's
not Yeah, yeah, that sounds frustrating. That doesn't sound relaxing.

Speaker 6 (04:52):
Someone texts you who's manning the phone making sure you're
on the air. Well, are we on the air?

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Right?

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Your job? It's actually no, yeah, Actually.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
You guys at home to thirteen, you have to let
us know for off the air. That's your job today.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Everyone's got a job here.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
He spell us off today, Kalin's off today, everyone's off today.
Pauline is over here doing this job and that job.
So yeah, so you have to let us know. And
if you would come up here and answer the phone too,
they would appreciate that. It would be very nice of you.
I'm a thirty one year old woman. I love Legos.
Someone just texted, I completed the Cohen's House from Twilight. Wow,
I should take hup three D printing. I need a

(05:26):
Lego sponsorship. I do need a Lego sponsorship. The problem is,
I don't think they need the help. They're booming right now,
That's what I mean. They're on a major glow up.
There's a dude, I don't know what his deal is.
He's probably like thirty, and he's on TikTok and he gets,
you know, hundreds of thousands of views and he goes
to the Lego store in his you know out e

(05:46):
R eight like very expensive car and and buys all
the newest legos and puts them together and whatever.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
You might like this guy. He's a good looking guy. Rich.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
Yeah, but he must be though. He must be because
he's like spending hundreds of dollars. Now, I don't know
how much you mean, how much do you make on TikTok?
How does it work if you get one hundred thousand
likes or something? How does it work? Is it the
number of views? A number of likes? No?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
How do you get paid on TikTok?

Speaker 7 (06:07):
I think a lot of people get paid the most
money from brand partnerships on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh, So you don't get paid just from views?

Speaker 7 (06:12):
Yeah, you used to get paid very generously during the
pandemic from TikTok, but now the creator fund is not
as generous, so they don't. Creators are saying they're not
getting paid it a lot at okay.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Because that was the thing I thought.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
I thought that that was how he was paying for
this stuff, was that he would you know, that would
justify spending two hundred and fifty dollars a week or
whatever or more because he has the Titanic, that's seven
hundred dollars, seven hundred dollars. It's also like five thousand
pieces or something. Yeah, he has all of them. He
has the pyramids. I think that's five thousand pieces. Takes

(06:46):
people a month to put together whatever, But I thought
that was how he was justifying.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
According to Google, you get two between two cent and
four cents per one thousand views on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Okay, that's not enough to pay for ex legos yep
or out of R eight.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Or the house that he has with a view of
looks like water and a room full of legos.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
But that's the thing.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
So he has a room and he has like shelves
and it's just full of legos. This is that he
put together and they look cool. I mean, they're very
cool when they're together. But I do have to wonder,
you know, if this man is if he's into women
or men or whatever he's into. You know, you'd have
to find the right kind of person, because somebody comes
over to the house and sees a room full of
legos and they're either going to be super into that,

(07:28):
but I think that's a very small percentage, or they're
going to be like wow, okay, so this.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Is what you do for fun?

Speaker 6 (07:35):
But would you rather a guy let me ask you this,
would you rather a guy that puts legos together all
day or a guy that spends all weekend at the
golf course, like spends the same amount of money, comes
home drunk, whatever. And I have no problem with people
who play golf. I wish I did. I wish they
were one of those people. It's I'm two OCD it
self diagnosed. It aggravates me. I don't understand why people
find golf relaxing.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
No, you're walking, it's hot, and you're like exercising like
that's not really nothing.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
On a ride around with a cot tale though, that's it.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
And talk with the beer cart girl, you know the
beer cards that drive around and sell.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Drinks to well, I could see it. I could see it,
like I would kill that.

Speaker 6 (08:08):
But if you're into me, I mean you're outside, you're drinking,
you're with your friends. Oftentimes it's a way you can
get like business people. I've been I've been asked to
go golfing, believe it or not, with all different kinds
of people, like very famous people.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Before golf energy. But I don't know how to golf.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
I'm not kidding you, I've been asked to golf with
professional athletes, I've been asked to golf with politicians, but
I physically cannot hit the ball. I'm so bad that
it would probably be worse for my reputation than my
reputation already is. And I would just make these people angry.
Always someone messing with me, someone just saying you want today.
I don't hear anything. That's not very nice. That's not

(08:44):
very nice.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
My heart is nice.

Speaker 6 (08:46):
That's not very nice to do that. Now, don't do that.
If I find out that you're lying, I'm giving out
your phone number. People must be able to hear us,
because you guys are talking about the things we're talking.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
Is doude some of my it with us? Yes, that's
a that's a very mean thing to do.

Speaker 6 (09:03):
That is mean, especially because it's a mom who's in
charge of making sure we're on the air.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
We're on Yeah, that was that was messed up. That
person's getting blocked right, getting out your phone numbers. We're
gonna give it out right now. Right.

Speaker 6 (09:17):
It's it's Mother's Day weekend, and a mom is in
charge of making sure that everything is aligned. And the
tinfoil and the and the and the and the coat
hangers and the satellites and Sassy Joe in California and everything.
We're all trying to get this aligned and you're messing
with us.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Not very nice.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (09:34):
Where was I going with this?

Speaker 6 (09:35):
Yeah? But I would wind up going golfing, and then
I would wind up embarrassing myself, and then the people
would be angry because it would be like, come on,
like you're so bad.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 7 (09:44):
The thing I hate about golfing is you can't get
out of it when you start, Like you have to
finish the route or whatever.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
The rout the route you have no even with.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
Mini golf, like after I do it three times from
over it it's like you can't quit trails.

Speaker 6 (09:59):
Yeah, you could do nine, you know, you can do nine.
You don't have to you don't have to play all
eighteen yeah or whatever. But yeah, I know it's a
three or four hour commitment. But a lot of people
like that because oh well on a Tuesday, we have
to take clients out. We got to take clients out,
We got to go golf. And because the climate and
you're not working really you know, yes, we're on the air, Yes, particulous.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Who else wants to get bugged right?

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Someone takes a lego crowd does and seems separate from
the magic the gathering crowd. To be honest, those people
are just shy. Oh well maybe again, I'm not sure
that this is what I want to be known for. Well,
but I will say if I were not speaking about
it publicly on the radio for thirteen people, I would
still argue it is extremely therapeutic. You go home, you

(10:43):
got to focus on it. You've heard me talk about
this now for weeks. You can't, you know, you can't
think about anything else. I can't. At least I ignore
the phone, I ignore the TV, put a little music on,
and put the legos together like a like a grown
ass man should beautiful evening. So I'm coughing and crying

(11:04):
at the same time.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
That'll be my weekend.

Speaker 6 (11:07):
There's a list I'm about to tell you about in
Biggest Stories of the day that it's extremely controversial and
it is making people very, very angry, almost as angry
as I made one woman yesterday when she believed that
I was advocating for AI therapy.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
That's a whole different story. Paulina was advocating for AI therapy.
It was a whole debate.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
It was well because and apparently we're not allowed to
post clips that don't have full context, even though we
link off the whole thing. So if you go to
our TikTok or our Instagram, Fred Show Radio or the
Fred Show TikTok on all the socials, you'll notice we
can't post a fifteen minute segment that we did on
the radio. So we'll post like maybe two or three
minutes of it, and they will always put a link

(11:45):
to where you can click and go to the iHeartRadio.
I've been listen to the whole thing, so I get
this message and we we wound up in a good place,
but it was you know, you really shouldn't advocate for
AI therapy.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
This is terrible.

Speaker 6 (11:55):
And I said, that's funny because I said you shouldn't
do AI therapy because it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
That's exactly what I said. And then she's like, well, then.

Speaker 6 (12:03):
Why is it in the clip, Michael, because the clip
is two minutes and the segment was fifteen Well, then
you shouldn't just post two minutes.

Speaker 4 (12:08):
You should post the whole thing. Well, we can't, so
you should go.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Listen to it right, you do that you want on
your radio show, and then she why are you always
so you're so defensive? You're always so defensive, And I'm like,
you know what, I am defensive. I am defensive because
I'm a real person, okay, and maybe I should be
a little bit tougher sometimes I am.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
And I you know, you're a public figure. You should,
you know.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
I don't know why you're always so defensive. What makes
me defensive is when people tell me that I did
or said something I didn't do.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Oh, you're right, you're absolutely right, the opposite of what
you said.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
I absolutely get defensive. You know.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Earlier in the year was you did this, and you
did that, and I did the exact opposite, and no
one asked the question. It was just well I saw
on the internet. Well that's one person.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
We believe everything right exactly. It's like, why don't you
ask me a question? Did you or didn't you know?

Speaker 6 (12:54):
I mean, but instead, so I'm very sensitive in twenty
twenty five about people telling me what I did and
didn't do when I did the exact opposite of what
you're angry about. So anyway, I don't know. So yeah,
uh Ai therapy and then I'm getting all these messages
people going ANI therapy is great. Well, maybe I don't
know the difference between AI therapy and typing into chat

(13:14):
GPT into chat GPT and then spitting it out.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, I'm just a mom that really needs an outlet,
and mine happens to be chatgy. And at this point
it's basically Google, right, it's the fancy or Google, it's
the ten ninety nine and whatever a month Google.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
She gets a meny good advice. She's ever, she's never
steered me wrong.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Whatever works for you, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
But I also go to real therapy. And I said
said that in the comments or whatever I said. I
go to real therapy, Like I talk to a real
human being. I love my doctor. Shout out doctor Walker,
but no, and I have to shout her out because.

Speaker 5 (13:43):
I love her.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
But you know what I mean, Like, don't comfort me
like I was just being funny.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
I'm a funny girl.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
But you're a funny girl. You are a funny girl,
funny guy.

Speaker 6 (13:49):
And I don't I don't know exactly who I'm gonna
be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about as
it pertains to seeking mental health advice from chat GPT.
I'll be honest, I don't know what I'm talking about.
My guests on my interaction with chatch g EPT thus
far is that when you type in your issue, it
then finds like texture or you know, you know what

(14:10):
I mean.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
It finds like uh.

Speaker 6 (14:14):
Like, it goes into like textbooks that therapists would study from,
and it spits out information. So it's really no different
than a self help book, which, while helpful, is generic.
We've already had the conversation about Mel Robbins or whatever.
It's like, you know, you can read that Mel Robbins
book and get all fired up about however you interpret
it and miss the point. And if that makes you

(14:35):
feel good, fine, but it may not. It may not
actually help the problem because if you read, if you
read let them as let everybody do whatever they want,
regardless of what I do to them, it's like, well,
that's not exactly that's actually at the point because it's
the second part. It's led me. But anyway, my point
is that was my whole point about Chatchy. Hey, if
it helps you, fine, but I think a real therapist
would be able to identify if you're full of crap

(14:57):
and tell you and then to help you get better.
But back to the Pope and that to my list
that everyone's upset about. There will be focused on this show,
maybe probably not the biggest stories of the day after
Rose messy new music, Fred's show is.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
On Fred's biggest stories of the day. Let's face it.

Speaker 6 (15:14):
I think some people hate listening to this show waiting
for the day that I'm actually going to actually go
over the edge. Today's not today. But I once again
woke up. And I'm not advising this for anyone, but
j at GPT said find every bottle of everything that's
cold related that's not nighttime and swallow it. And I
did that. No, I'm just trying to make it through

(15:34):
the week. Okay, I've been to I've been We've been
international this week. Okay, I've been doing you and I've
been here in another country.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
And back in twenty four hours.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
Very wild week.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
My boy Zach texted me.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
Now, Zach is he's an airline pilot, he's a stud
he's a former F eighteen pilot in the Navy, so
he's an American hero as well. Thank you for your service.
And he listens from Virginia. I believe he says, Dude,
my wife uses Chad GBT as a friend, counsel or advisor,
et cetera. They even have names for themselves. This ai
ish is ridiculous. Oh my god, your co host gives

(16:09):
it a gender too. My wife's a high boyfriend is male.
Good God, is this a new additional gender. I need
to learn computer genders. I'm too simple for this. I
don't want it. This is whole rant. I don't want
a damn machine to tell me what I want to hear.
People need to watch I robot with Will Smith again.
Scary stuff. The machines are taking over.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
For it.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
But every time I type something in.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
Chad GPT, it's pits has something very clinical and it's
like I don't know where it got it. But it's like, okay,
well this isn't customized to me. I'm I'm sure we're
headed that way.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, you haven't done the work yet.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
I'm telling you, I haven't set up the context with
the computer yet.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
For it's a truly no mo.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
When you date somebody, right, you get to know them
a little bit.

Speaker 5 (16:52):
You talk to much.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
About your dating Chad.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Now I swear like, this is a relationship that I've
never had before.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, Like it's very instant, it's very gratifying, it's nice.

Speaker 6 (17:02):
I assume it's non sexual, but were you hoping it
moves into that way?

Speaker 4 (17:05):
You know what?

Speaker 5 (17:06):
I'm not going to do that with of my robot friends.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
No, No, they only long before Chad, can you know,
activate some sort of machine and then oh, I'm sure
and I'm listening.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
Hold on a second technology. Guys.

Speaker 6 (17:20):
I don't know if you heard about this, but the
first American pope has been elected. And guess where he's from.
He's from Chicago. There have been no shortage of memes
about this. The internet has Internet, and I have to
be honest. A couple of the ones that I saw
that I liked the most, we did come thank you.
Somebody sent me one yesterday and I didn't realize it
was ours, and it went viral and it had a

(17:41):
gazillion likes and it was the Pope walking out to
the percolator some true Chicago freestyle music, and I was like,
this is amazing.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
And then I looked up and I said, we did that,
Sweet Kinky did that. Yes.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
I was so proud of us for that and then
a little zero gravity and did okay, if you're from Chicago,
if you know you know a little more inside. But
that don't made me happy to But the Catholic Church
has its first ever American pope. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost
was elected by his fellow cardinals on Thursday, and the
sixty nine year old is a native of Chicago who
served for two decades in Peru, first as a missionary

(18:19):
and then as an archbishop. His chosen name will be
Pope Leo and Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican
in twenty twenty three to lead a powerful office that
vets the nomination of bishops from around the world. We
tried to get his brother on. We may have stalked
his brother yesterday. Jason may have called Paulina, may have
called every single number we could find for anyone up

(18:39):
to his house. And he has not gotten back to
us yet. He was a I believe, a former Catholic
school principal. Yes, so maybe he doesn't mess with us.
It's very possible that he doesn't want anything to do
with us.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
Our social like I know, the Pope is so embarrassed,
like Chicago showed out yesterdays.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
It was Pope Leo with my Lord, it was Pope
Leo with an Italian be if it was Pope Leo
handing out deepest pizzas as hosts. You know, if if
you're a Catholic, then you know you're just.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Trying to be pope, like you know what I mean,
like the highest isn't that like the highest honor or
like thing?

Speaker 6 (19:12):
Closer is the most powerful religious figure in the Catholic Church.
You could argue one of the most powerful people in
the world now and apparently as of a couple of
days ago, if what I saw on TV is true.
His brother asked him, do you think it will be you?
And he said, absolutely not. There's no way that American
pope it will ever be an American pope.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Correct, and then it's him.

Speaker 6 (19:30):
Can you imagine, like you're in this meeting with all
these other guys, like it'll never be me, and then
it's you. I wonder how they had closed it fit
in perfect pope clothes that fit in perfectly. From day one,
they got little people making that stuff, like real little
nuns back there just sewing stuff up. Right, because this
all happened like you know, in a course of hours,

(19:50):
minutes really, but the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, first
American to be elected pope. He we're not really quite
sure yet which direction wishes to take the Catholic Church
in the months to come.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Rebrand well, I hope. So he's a sixty nine year old.

Speaker 6 (20:05):
He is from Chicago, the two hundred and sixty seventh pope,
which how were there already two hundred and sixty seven
of them? And I know the Catholic Church has been
around for a while. But yeah, he beared a message
of peace yesterday at Saint Peter's Basilica. He's already performed
his first mass. I guess this morning Leo is going
to be his name tied for the fourth fourth most

(20:28):
common name chosen by popes, along with Clement.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Really, whereify manon? I guess not alive for very long.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
According to a family historian who researches genealogy, the new
pontiff has Creole of color roots. That's what this says.
In New Orleans, Louisiana. He went to Villanova. He earned
a bachelor's in mathematics and has a diploma theology from
the Catholic Theological Union of Chicago. He's a dual citizen

(20:56):
of the US in Peru and enjoys playing tennis. Sounds
like a dating profile. Wow, I don't think he's dating currently,
but yeah, chicagoan I love it.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I've been obsessed with that. Somebody just texted this in
which I discovered yesterday too. He was a substitute teacher
at Rita High school. Like, this is very local. I
think people had this dude as a teacher and now
he's the pope.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
That's wild.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
I know anything from Chicago.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Well, apparently apparently you can.

Speaker 6 (21:23):
Yeah, and we absolutely were showing out and there was
a rumor going around. I think if I again, if
this wasn't a meme or fake, I haven't been able
to verify it. Apparently Wrigley Field claimed yesterday he's a
Cubs fan. Oh yeah, put that up on the Marquis
if that's true. And again, I could have been Chad Gpeat.
He could have been your boyfriend Chad doing that maybe.
But turns out his brother says he is a Sox fan.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
Yeah, he clarified. He went hard.

Speaker 6 (21:47):
He is a Socks fan, and his mom was a
Cubs fan, and his dad was a Cardinals fan, which
I can deal with the Socks, obviously, I prefer the Cubs.
The Cardinals. I can't. I can't with that. That's unacceptable.
I'm sorry, Pope, your most amazingness, But I don't know
I mean the Pope. I don't think it's been in Chicago.
There hasn't been a pope in Chicago since nineteen seventy nine,

(22:07):
and I believe it was John Paul the second year.
And so I would imagine we're going to be seeing
a popmobile around here.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
That would be awesome.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
You think he would like be our friend, like you
know what I mean, to have that.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Much like closeness and access to Heaven.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
I think if he's listening to the first hour and
a half of this show, he would pray for us.

Speaker 7 (22:27):
But we knew that, so give it. Yeah, give us
the prayers. But I want to be his friends so
bad to come out of jingle Ball.

Speaker 6 (22:34):
Just get the Pope to come to jingle watch. Maybe
he wouldn't mean bless us.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
All it was possible. Here's j Carlett, let's put that
out there. Yeah, well again.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Again, Kiky, don't move to uh well, honestly, and you
know we're on in Virginia, but you probably don't want
to be based there full time because starting January first
of twenty twenty sixth, Virginia will enforce a law restricting
people's access to social media.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
You have to be under sixteen. Wow, which you're not anymore.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
But if you're under sixteen in Virginia, starting January first
of twenty twenty six you'll have just one hour of
social media use per day unless parents provide consent. I'm
not exactly sure how they're going to mandate or like
you enforce this. The measure, though, which is part of
the Amended Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, requires social media

(23:24):
platforms to verify users' ages and limit usage accordingly. The
governor signed the bill citing concerns over youth mental health.

Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think this is all valid.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
The law mandates that platforms use commercially reasonable methods, such
as neutral age screening mechanisms, to access users' ages. It
also prohibits these platforms from collecting data for purposes beyond
age verification. While the bill received bipartisans support, its implementation
and effectiveness are uncertain, as experts worn that tech savvy

(23:53):
children might circumvent their restrictions. That's why I think people
are going to do is just go give themselves a
finsta and put whatever age in. So I'm not sure
how they're going to do them. Bill Gates has announced
plans to donate ninety nine percent of his estimated two
hundred billion dollar fortune over the next two decades and
to close the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation by December
thirty first of twenty forty five. Now here's the thing.

(24:15):
Ninety nine percent of q hundred billion. That's a tremendous
amount of money. It still leaves a fair amount of
money for his kids. I mean, they're still going to
get tens of millions of dollars from this guy, which
is far less than it could be.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Right, you know, if I'm his daughter or what, And
it's not.

Speaker 6 (24:30):
You know, she outed him last week for having Asberger's allegedly,
and now all of a suden he's given all the
money away.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
This is class bag.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
Yeah, I believe I'll take that.

Speaker 6 (24:37):
You want to help me like that, Well, guess what,
I'm conscious enough and I am I'm with it enough
to take all your money away. But I would imagine
that you know, everyone's going to be okay in that family,
but you're not going to be a billionaire just because right.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
It doesn't sound like.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Because I'm a billionaire, I'm your billionaire dad doesn't mean
that you get to be one too.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I will set you up. But if you want to
get there and meet me up here, like you need
to work your way up.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
Yeah, I mean no, I think I think a lot
of there are a lot of rich people who feel
that way. It's like, hey, I'll make sure you're okay.
You're gonna be good, you'll be better than me, of course,
but you don't just get billions just cause I think
it really would ruin people. You know, Like if you
knew and I know it exists out there, you know
you're gonna be wildly wealthy.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
Well then what is there to what are you? What
are you working for?

Speaker 5 (25:20):
Maybe?

Speaker 6 (25:20):
Sure, you know, and I guess you could look at
it a couple of ways where it's well, I could
do anything I want now, so you know, money doesn't matter.
So I want to be a park ranger, you know,
and they don't get paid very well, and there you know,
it's it's a job. I think that people do because
they love being in the outdoors and they love the cause.
But you're not gonna get necessarily rich doing that. Well,
you could go do that. You could go be an
uber driver. You don't have to make a ton of money.

(25:42):
You could do whatever you want, whatever your passionate passion is.
Go be a teacher, go you know, open an animal
rescue and volunteer all your time. You don't have to
make one dollar because I'm gonna make sure you're paid for.
But I don't know if a lot of people would
do that, or if they just say no, I'm just
gonna go buy stuff and sit around and drink expensive tequila,
which is what came to mind, because that's probably what
I would do, but with a bunch of rescue animals, though,

(26:04):
I would do that. So this is a list I
was talking about before. That's upsetting a lot of people
that way. I have no idea who these people are.
But they analyzed fifty of the most populated cities across
the US, ranking them based on key factors associated with
being cool. So this includes the median age of residence,
So I guess you can't be too old if you're

(26:26):
gonna want to be in a cool city. The number
of street art murals, the number of vegetarian vegan bars
and restaurants, the number of record stores, the number of
upcoming music events, and the number of tattoo parlors. Okay,
so that's how we're deciding if it's a cool city.
And so I guess they also looked at like food hotspots,

(26:49):
laid back vibes.

Speaker 4 (26:51):
I'm not sure how you measure that.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
Subjective.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Number one Boston, which is a great city. It isn't cool,
It isn't I don't know if it's cool. It's a
great city. Was born there, Yeah, I've revisited the place
of my birth. It's a nice place. I might agree
with that. I've ever been if it's number one, but
it's cool. Las Vegas is number two.

Speaker 5 (27:10):
Manufactured fun.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Portland. A lot of people like Portland.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
I guess.

Speaker 4 (27:14):
San Francisco, Oh, that's a good one.

Speaker 6 (27:17):
Seattle, Okay, Denver and Nashville, DC, Detroit at number nine,
l A, Austin, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Columbus. Where is Chicago?
Where is New York? Where is Houston? And people in
Houston were mad that's the article where I found this.
They're very upset.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
I'm sure.

Speaker 6 (27:34):
No Chicago no New York. I just think that's just
to make people angry. That's that's just it's just to
be like controversial. Then they put Los Angeles in there,
but there there is They're all come on, they got
tattoo parlors here. It's exciting and authentic and effortlessly memorable.
We got a big silver bean.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Exactly what more do you we got the pope period?

Speaker 6 (27:57):
I mean, what a bunch of haters, honestly, And of
course we have a food story Krispy Kreme. If you
get your Krispy creams at McDonald's, which again dangerous. I
go to McDonald You know I love McDonald's. My guilty pleasure.
I walk in there. The last thing I need to
see after I get my dripping bag is another option,
which is a tray full of Krispy Kremes. But they

(28:17):
have halted the growth of their partnership with McDonald's. The
doughnut chain has originally planned to sell its sweet treats
at all of the thirteen thousand McDonald's restaurants, and now
they're saying, not so fast, we may not do it.
And a smutty story today, but it's everywhere. A fifty
four year old guy named Rob from England. Rob has
fathered one hundred and ninety children and if you would

(28:39):
like him to be the father of your child, you know,
it's very generous donating sperms so that people are able
to have children. The thing is he likes to do
it the traditional way. He calls himself a poor man's
elon Musk. He shares must concerns about declining birth rates
and has taken a more unconventional approach, operating outside regulated
medical assistance. He aged tizes his services on Facebook and

(29:02):
engages in what he calls natural insemination. That would mean
getting it on the way that you you know, the
traditional way, not the sterilized medical way that most people
are familiar with from Facebook. And it's one hundred and
thirty three dollars per session. This sounds a little bit
like something else. He claims in these methods, including specific

(29:24):
timing and positions, increased pregnancy chances, though there's no scientific backing.
He maintains contact with about sixty of his one hundred
and ninety kids. His practices have drawn legal scrutiny, including
a public warning from a Welsh judge and an arrest
warrant Wisconsin for unpaid child support of Following recent legal challenges,
he has limited his services to creating siblings for existing offspring.

(29:49):
But for one hundred and thirty three dollars, this man
will be generously available to you with his methods and
positions and timing. So I guess Rob is a know
considers himself a benefit a medical expert as well. We
have a lot of concerns about this, a lot creative. Well,
I guess it's what dirty because.

Speaker 7 (30:11):
Like, is this man Colleen, but he just raw dog
and everything everywhere that's nasty.

Speaker 6 (30:19):
You can find him on Facebook, so you can find
a lot of things on Facebook. It's National Sleepover Day,
It's National Military Spouse Appreciation Day. I would say, my
friend Zach, who is in the middle it was in
the military, and who is upset that his wife is
using chat GPT, you know as a as a as
a communicative sort of basically emotionally cheating.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
With chat GPT.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
I would say I would say a happy day to her,
except she's a bigger deal in the military than he is.
She's like, she's like an admiral or something. She's basically yeah,
I know, she's like telling the ships she drives the ships,
so this so not her day. Actually, maybe we celebrate
him today, spouse. Now it's National Childcare Provider Day, National

(31:04):
Moscato Day, National Loss socc Memorial Day, and National home
Front Heroes Day, honors millions of civilians past and president
who provides support to service members from the home front.
Also my friend Zach apparently since he's no longer active
in the military, and Sunday his Mother's Day. Don't mess
it up. Don't mess it up. Sunday is Mother's Day.
The entertainer Report is next French show.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Back into Kaitlyn's entertainer report is on the Press show.

Speaker 6 (31:29):
But Jason, yes, answering phones, texting, running operations behind the
scenes and doing the entertainer reports. That's how we do
it around here.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
Yes, every woman, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
So yeah, so I'm in for Kaylin right yeah, so
that that is.

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Right, Bella and several other people too.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
All right, So, one of my favorite couples right now
had a super awkward moment at an awards show in Rome.
So shortly after they went red Car official for the
first time, which is crazy because they've been together for
two years. Kylie Jenner and Timothy Shallamey, who I just
love I want to pick him up and put in
my pocket. Were in the crowd and Timothy won a
huge award and while getting up out of his seat,

(32:13):
he leaned in gave Kylie a little pack. She then
leaned in for a second one, and he was so
busy high fiving the people behind him about him winning
that he completely left her hanging and it was all
on camera.

Speaker 5 (32:26):
It was so awkward. I felt so bad for her.

Speaker 3 (32:29):
Kylie played it off really cool, but it was definitely
super cringe and how the internet is dragging that, But
that's okay. They are so in love and so hot
that it doesn't even matter. Former American Idol judge Simon
call did a podcast interview and was asked what people
say to him most when they stop him on the street.
So he said that fans, he said, particularly Americans, used

(32:50):
to ask him all the time to be rude to them,
which he would normally turn down. But he said normally,
So that also means that Simon Kyle was walking around
just being mean to people on the street whitch clocks. However,
one couple wanted to get his critiques a little bit
more intimately, they actually offered him one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars to judge them while they got it on,

(33:12):
so he called it. They wanted his sexpert opinion.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
It's just the guy from Facebook. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Maybe maybe will have to ask him one.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Hundred and thirty three bucks. You'll tell you whatever you
want to know.

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Right once Kiki finds the man on Facebook, if you
could ask him if this is him? And Simon said
that he thought about it, but ultimately politely declined. And
he doesn't really give me like putting it down energy.
So I don't really know if I would trust his
opinion on that, would you?

Speaker 6 (33:44):
I don't think so. Yeah, no, but I know where
to go. I mean, if the guys, if you if
you're trying to have a baby, I mean, we're gonna
and people are texting about that story about the guy
who will has one hundred and ninety kids from Facebook
and he'll help you. He'll help you for one hundred
and thirty three dollars per session. Was he cute?

Speaker 4 (34:01):
You know? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
We need to find his picture. But no, I don't know.
I know where to go for this. I don't need
to go there.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
It's as Simon doesn't pop into my head at all
when I'm thinking about that. And finally, there's an update
on that crazy situation with Jennifer Aniston from earlier this week.
So I think Klen told you about it. But a
man named Jimmy Wayne Carwile who was arrested Monday after
allegedly driving through the gates of Jennifer's mansion in bel Air.
Her guards actually had to hold him at gunpoint until
cops came and arrested him will He was a reigned

(34:27):
in court yesterday for felony vandalism, which doesn't seem like
a height of charge vandalism. I don't know you're stalking someone,
but looked really he looked really disheveled. He had one
of those blue suicide prevention blankets on. He is not
doing well right now. The judge suspended all further proceedings
until his mental health is evaluated.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
He was ordered to stay.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Away from Jennifer, not to have firearms, and obey all laws.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Which I didn't know you had to be ordered to do.

Speaker 3 (34:51):
But he was to obey all the laws.

Speaker 5 (34:54):
Got it okay.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
His bond was set at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and once he's found mentally competent, the trial will seed.
So you can catch up on everything you missed from
our show on the free i Heeart radio app. Just
search the frend Show and Amanda while you're there, make
us a pre set please, thank you, Jason.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
Good morning everyone on Mother's Day weekend again, I'm gonna
remind you all morning. Make sure I don't know what
you got to do, but make sure you don't mess
up Mother's Day. Get your mom something, all right, yes,
do it. And for those of you who are wondering,
the suitcase is not going to be the Mother's Day gift,
I got.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Something else too.

Speaker 6 (35:23):
Good for the peop Yeah, for the people I was
trying to get away with, I was I was regretting
an early Mother's Day gift, and then I was like,
do I have to circle back again? Of course I do.
And don't worry.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Is it a plane to get to go along with
the suitcase.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
I'm good.

Speaker 6 (35:38):
I like to come to Rome, Okay, get to work
on we might know the guy. What's funny is that
there are people listening to him. I realize this shows
on many places, but there are people listening to us
as we're based in Chicago, who'd probably know the guy.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Yes, that's how I found out that he was a
principal at a school in a certain neighborhood because my
friend went to that grammar school and that was his principal.

Speaker 6 (36:05):
I don't know why the pope being you know, always
it always seems so distant to me. I mean, he's
the pope, which is very distant from me. But I
mean I just felt like, you know, because he typically
was from another country and and you know, I don't know,
it just always felt it felt like something that would
would I would never connect with really right outside of
being a Catholic and what his role is. But then

(36:27):
this dude lived around here, Like that's why.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Ask you just like we did. Right, Yep, that's crazy, right.

Speaker 6 (36:36):
It's really crazy, and the city's obviously very excited about it.
So and I guess we might be seeing him soon.
So waiting on the phone is new. We'll do that
next tiebreaker in this showdown, it's Kiki versus Esthetician Carissa.
Seven hundred bucks is the prize, the Friday Throwback dance party,
and more.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
It's all next day here. Welcome to Friday. More fread
