Speaker 3 (02:46):
About us.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
For that already. So it's fine enough. Conspiracy theories i'd
have to have. I don't want to get back on Reddit.
The meanest stuff is posted by brother of Fred sixty
nine sixty nine on Reddit.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
No one will ever know it's me though, right never
you never know?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, Well, here's an etiquete question about gifting, which is
why I brought it up. And this is on Reddit,
by the way, because as Fred Hayter Lauren would say,
that's the only place I can get content is Reddit,
so yeah, it's a great place to get content. At
least I credited me. I never should have credited it.
I should just say, oh my god, this isn't another
original idea from me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I know people in.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
The business who will read something on raddit and then
make it as if it was their own story, which
I have a lot of respect for you.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Just being like, yo, this is from raddit.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Less well, thank you of it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It is our job to scour the world for content
and then give you what we think is the best
of it. Okay, and we don't always succeed at that,
by the way, I'll be the first stupment that we
don't always succeed at that, but that's what we're here
to do.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So we're here to entertain you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
We read all kinds of stupid things, hundreds of pages
of crap every day, which is the hardest part of
the job is just have to use our eyes and
read and concentrate, which we don't do that very well either.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
A woman logged onto Reddit after botting a three hundred
dollars charge on her joint credit card. She confronted her
husband and discovered that the money was for a wedding
gift that he bought for a female coworker. The issue, though,
is that neither she nor her husband were invited to
the wedding. Her husband defended the gifts by saying the
coworker had shared a wedding registry if you have the
company slack channel, which that's bold, whoa woasty? I mean,
(04:24):
I don't know if we have a company slack channel.
I'm not a slack person. I haven't gone there to
find content yet, but I will. Don't worry. If there's
a place I can get content without having to do anything,
I'll go. But can you imagine if you just sent
you should do it and see what happens. Send your
wedding registry to a company all email.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And the funny thing is people would buy you stuff.
They talk about you behind your back, but you'd get
more stuff. No. Yeah, so he believed that that justified
the purchase. She disagreed, pointing out that at her own
baby shower their own baby shower he was, I guess
involved with that co worker had given them a modest
twenty dollars gift. Many comments as sided with the wife,
(05:04):
calling the coworkers registry post taxi and questioning the husband's
judgment in spending so much on someone he barely knows.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is there okay?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Is there a difference between a wedding registry and a
baby registry? If I'm not invited to the baby shower,
you are you still expected to buy a baby gift?
If I'm not invited to the wedding, but I know
the person and I want to be nice, can I
send a wedding present? Now? I think this could probably
be used passive aggressively. I could see someone sending a
wedding gift to a wedding they weren't invited to as
(05:34):
a reminder that they weren't invited. But let's just say
you're not being petty for once, and you just want
to be a nice person. And maybe someone's getting married
at a destination, or it's a small wedding or a family wedding,
or maybe I work with them but I don't know
them all that well, but I do want to do
something nice because maybe I'm I don't know. I don't
know the scenario here, the demographics, but maybe he's an older,
(05:54):
more established co worker and she's younger and starting there,
starting a life, and he wanted to do something for her.
I don't see this as that egregious. If they have
the money, I don't know that they. You have to
be invited to a wedding to buy somebody a wedding
gift if you want to be nice. In fact, I
would almost rather sometimes buy a wedding gift than not
have to go to the wedding. Oh that's almost a
(06:14):
cheaper way out, okay, noted. Yeah no, I've already auctioned off.
I've already made money on my plus one for years,
So don't be there, don't worry. No, we gotta, we gotta.
It's like the stock market right now, the price is
going up. Yeah, people are. It's on eBay right now.
It's win a Date with Me Takiki's wedding y and
currently it's hit seventeen dollars, but it wasn't ten, so
(06:36):
it's going up very quickly. Yeah. No, I think we
could probably get close to Yeah. Yeah, did anyone buy
you a gift. He wasn't invited to the wedding. Yeah, no, no.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
No, not that didn't happen on people that I even invited,
that didn't even RSVP or said a gift. You guys know,
I don't really care about the gift, but I still
think that's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
People showed up who didn't do our VP.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No, no, no, no, Like I sent an invitation to someone
that we work with very closely and he didn't even
r s v P yes or no, didn't give a gift.
But I know he gave gifts to another coworker that
got married, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That was a male. Very interesting, not the point of
the story.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
My point is that not the point of the story.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Let's go ahead and get that out there.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Waiting this moment to be honest yet, yes, finally, wait
me to say something. But for my baby shower, my
dear dear coworker, writer, coworker Beyonce Fox was on the
one of the throw the legend. She sent a gift
with another coworker who was at my baby shower. And
that was the sweetest thing. It was like the cutest
little outfit and and that moment don't get if I
(07:33):
could be honest, I felt guilty, Like that made me
feel guilt because I was like, oh, I should have
invited you, and she didn't. I don't think she wanted
the invite, but I think she just wanted to be
sweet in that moment. And she is the sweetest woman ever. Yes,
but I was like, to me, I felt like, oh,
I felt really bad. You know, That's how I took it.
I was like, oh, like, you're sweet, but I feel
bad she did because because.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
There's no way you could possibly invite every run right,
everybody in your orbit.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
We barely fit in my baby shower. You have to
fit the drag queens.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know, I think I've sent I think I've sent
gifts to baby registries before for showers I wasn't invited
to because I'm a guy, and a lot of times
guys aren't invited to the showers. But like it's a
coworker's wife, and so yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I
think I've done that, but I want to know eight five, five, five, nine,
one one oh three five call in text the same number,
and of course do you think of course you guys
(08:22):
can comment on this too. Oh you guys are welcome
to chime in if you'd like your commentary's value.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But I mean, I guess I don't understand what the
problem is. Like if they don't have any money and
he's giving gifts to someone who's wedding he wasn't invited to,
then I would say, why are you giving them money?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like we need money?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Right, you know that that's an egregious expense, like like
what is Then I would start to wonder, like what's
the nature of that relationship, like are you obsessed with.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Her or something?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Because like, well, if we don't have money and you're
sending gifts to I mean, look, if we don't have money, right,
which a lot of people don't have money, right, I mean,
I know if you get if you get in you know, holidays,
and then you get in I do a wedding, and
then god forbid, somebody gets pregnant like it could be.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And then if.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Someone's birthday, it gets a little trim in the bank account.
This time of year gets a little trim in the
old bank account. Okay, aryt yeah right, I got I
got multiple birthdays. I gotta buy Christmas presents for everybody,
you know, just travel like it gets a little trim
in the old bank account this time of year. The
summer's not great for me either, because I got dad's
sister mom, and so I get, you know, a little
(09:25):
brokie in the summer too. But if I didn't have
any money, and I had and I'm in a relation
and married and I'm sending gifts to a woman's wedding
that I wasn't invited to and we're broke, then I
think then you start to ask questions, right, like what why?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
But if we have enough money, and you would and
it's a nice thing to do, and I think what
I would say is, hey, look, we didn't here we go,
We're not we don't have to go to the wedding,
we don't have to dress up, we don't have to
do anything. I want to do something nice for this person.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, I think it was a nice gesture.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You work with someone, you see that they're you know,
getting married or having a baby. I think he was
so totally fine to send a gift. But if, like
you said, if we're already having financial issues, that's a
big problem.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You shouldn't be sending anybody a gift.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I do think the other thing is if you
send a gift to someone who's wedding you weren't invited
to in an office setting, for example, and there are
a lot of weddings you didn't get invited to, then
why wouldn't you so you don't send gifts to them?
You know, then you start to bid why her over
the other ones they missing around? But that's also not
(10:29):
for anyone else to say that. Would that the only
person whose opinions matter in that or the guy who
bought the gift and the guy's wife.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh yeah, but like if they were messing around, why
would you buy her a wedding gift?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Like what?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Maybe he's trying to be like, hmmm, I see you
over getting married. Don't forget about us? Yeah, oh yeah,
don't forget about us. Yeah, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
That's or some sort of weird obsession or something, I
don't know, obsessedon.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Aaron.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
How you doing, Aaron? I'm good, are you good morning?
I'm great, Thanks for listening, thanks for calling.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So what do you think this dude bought a wedding
gift for a co worker, spent three hundred dollars and
he's not invited the wedding and the wife is like, why'd.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You do that?
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Yeah, that's crazy. I was just right now, there's two
teachers in the building that are getting married to each other,
and our boss sent like a message to suggest donating
to the wedding gift. And I didn't get invited to
the wedding, So I'm like, why are you asking me
to give them money? And like, there's another weddings that
have happened just not to teachers. I married someone who
doesn't work in the building and they didn't give us anything.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
So it just seems really really interesting.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
I'm not going to go.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So I guess maybe because it's two teachers getting married
that that's kind of like a rare special event. But
I don't know if that's appropriate for the principal of
the school to be asking you to give a gift
to them, unless it's unless it's I don't know, miss
he's throwing a party for them internally, because it's because again,
like if you get married to someone who doesn't work
(11:56):
in the school, he's not going to send out a
go fud me or whatever. He's not going to send
out a registry for you. But are they making a
bigger deal out of it because they both work there,
so it's kind of kitchy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Maybe, but like I mean, they generally do like donations
for like baby and pretty much just that, but they
never do it for weddings. And I don't know. I mean, yes,
you just don't get paid enough.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Maybe it's like that, that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I'm not invited to the wedding, so like, happy for them,
good for them, But I'm not going to donate.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think I blame you. Thank you, eron,
have a good day, good point. No, I love you too.
I don't think that you should donate because you feel pressured.
I also think that's it. That's a tough thing. Can
you imagine if everybody who had a baby or got
married around here we sent an email out with the
thing like that's never happened. I've never once gotten a
like from from a bomb an email to you the
(12:48):
entire cluster of radio stations saying hey, so and so
is having a baby. Here's the registry. If you'd have
to do it every single time, oh yes, right exactly,
so I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't think i'd go down that road.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Just ask like, if there's someone here that had a
baby that I want to get a gift.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
For, I'm like, do you have a registry? You know?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
And I mean, even though I'm sitting it out, it's
not mandatory. I'm sure the principle didn't say you must.
You know, like, it's not mandatory. It's just like, if
you want it to here's.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The link, but you better do it every time.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, well, because this person, I mean, maybe she got
married and there was no thing.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
There was no link sent out.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You know, there wasn't.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's what I mean. Like, if you're gonna do it
one time, you're gonna have to do it every time.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Right because people like Paulina will never forget.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I'll never forget, and they're gonna have their moment too.
Don't let the world know.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, and inevitably somebody will hit reply to all, especially
if it's at this office, because even though it says
don't hit reply to all, somebody will hit reply to
all and then they'll respond to something that they think
is only for the guy who sent the email, but
really everybody gets to see it. And it's the same
culprits every time. Do we not understand how reply to
all works. There are two options. There's reply and reply
(13:55):
to all, and it never fails. Anytime there is a
group email sent out, at least three people will hit
reply to all with something and then they'll ask a
question that has only to do with them. I would
personally be interested in that. Well, then send a personal email.
He got started early this morning. Guys like they got
to started early.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It irks me. It's two different.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But Fred's show is on the biggest stories of the day, right,
Jason Brown's out today. However, we have the picks in
a sealed envelope. Ernst and Young has certified the results.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Let's go with a week whatever. This is twelve.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think maybe week twelve of the NFL. Jason Brown,
our sports reporters unsanctioned gambling picks. Draft Queens dot Com
is the sponsor. That's not real. I got you good.
He having Bill's Texans, well you know he had a Yeah. Well,
a lot of people probably had the bills and lost
money Texans one last night. Yeah, yes, Josh allensacked eight times.
(14:59):
He got the sack eight, which is chasing stream, except
not the right thing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I wonder if you have. Do you want me to
just read it because it'll be easier.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yes, will probably be out of order.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Okay, all right, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
So for cold Chiefs you already know, he would say Chiefs, Kingdom, Seahawks, Titans.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
He took the Titans, Titans.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
As you would say, sorry, excuse me, Vikings, Packers, took
the Vikings, Jets, Ravens. He's going with the Jets, Giants, Lions.
He knows what to do. He went the Lions, Steelers, Bears.
He took the Bears, Patriots versus Bengals. I'm surprised, but
he took the Pats, Browns versus Raiders. He's going the Browns, Jags,
(15:38):
the Cardinals, Jaguars, Jaguars, Eagles versus Cowboy Nation.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You already know Falcons.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
He took over the Saints, Rams over the Bucks, and
the Panthers over the four Niners.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Wow. Wow, So he doesn't mind the smoke from.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Bella, then I guess not. I guess not in his parsley.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Oh here we oh has everyone been playing in the
par slatest week ers?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, you know what, I'm not sure. I hope that
he made sure of that.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Uh whatever has before?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
So well he probably didn't today either.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Woody Marks, who I've never heard of, will catch five times.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I'm sure we will get text about that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I've never heard of him, but he's going to catch
five times. That's that's something.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Well I'm not I don't know the most about the NFL,
so it's possible he's still good. But aj Brown will
score at least one time. And lastly, Trey McBride will
run one in.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, okay, all right, there you have it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yes, if you need to go back to the iHeart
app to review those to place your bets, and you're
welcome to do that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I'll do it later.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They'll be up there. Yeah right, not right now.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Can post a photo if you guys want.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
We're in the middle of a live radio.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Show, so yeah, when I play my bets, I'll do
that later.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And the text are already coming in to my phone.
So you so you really are going to not take
you know, X y Z to Kiki's wedding. There are
people who believe that they're entitled to the spot. Oh
I love this, so I think there may be an
actual eBay.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
I think it.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Should be like for the love of for it, for
the night I'm down.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, he'll be a full service evening if you choose,
if you so, if you so choose, I'll get.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
You a room at the Ramodel.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Oh you would do that. We're going to add that
to the budget.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, you know Motil six is somebody, and well.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We got you a little better than that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
You can bring a date.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm not trying to go to the hotail motel. Okay,
so I don't want to go ciberis all right. I
love look at a slipping slide if you know. You know,
I like how you're not adding rooms for me to
the wedding budget. Like we're just spending at at a
reckless pace.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We really are. Like it's wild.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's a it's a state of delusion I've never experienced
before in my life.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But it's kind of fun, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I don't want to hear about it in a second.
I know you're worried about being scammed too, but we'll
get to them. Amazon has started sending out payments to
eligible Prime members. It's part of a two point five
billion dollars settlement. Maybe you get some money from Amazon
as opposed to spending money with Amazon, which is it
seems to just go out with Amazon, and money just
goes towards them and away from me. That's all it
(18:01):
ever happens. That's all I ever happened to Amazon. They
started sending out refunds to eligible Prime members as part
of a two point five billion dollars settlement with the FTC,
the Federal Trade Commission. The company agreed to pay out
in September to settle a twenty twenty three lawsuit where
the FTC accused Amazon of misleading customers into signing up
for Prime and making it hard to cancel. Under the deal,
Amazon will pay a billion dollars in civil penalties and
(18:23):
one point five billion to eligible customers, though the company
didn't admit any wrongdoing. Eligible Prime members will receive refunds
of their subscription fees up to fifty one dollars. To qualify,
you must have signed up through certain enrollment pages between
June of twenty nineteen and June of twenty twenty five,
(18:44):
and use no more than three Prime benefits in any
twelve month period after enrolling.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
This is pretty slim.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I don't know how many people did that, but the
payments to begin earlier this month then will continue through
December via PayPal Venmo or a check.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
That's another thing.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
If I got a paypaler request or a PayPal thing
from Amazon, I'd probably deny it, thinking I'm getting scammed, right, Like,
what are you trying to do to me? You're not
sending me money PayPal from Amazon.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They just dump it in there. They don't even ask
you to accept it.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You wake up to money or PayPal anytime people are
sending me money. I'm like, hold on, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what is this one of those deals where hey, if
you give me your social Security number? You you Nigerian
prints you, I'll send you. Yeah, we have eighteen gazillion
dollars in an account because you're a descendant of a
Nigerian prince. All we need is your PayPal information and
before long then I owe somebody eighteen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
AI has It's gone too far? Guys? I mean, and
how many.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Times am I going to say that in the next decade? Uh.
There's a talking bear that's AI driven that's been pulled
because it shared everything from kinks to where to find knives.
A toy company is halting sales of its AI powered
stuffed animals after reports that they would talk to children
about anything from BDSM to where they could find knives.
(20:02):
The follow Toy has a line of products, including Teddy
Bears and pandas that use open ayes Chat GPT to
talk with kids. Consumer safety report found that there wasn't
much that the toys wouldn't talk about. The bear even
offered an especially detailed description of how to light a match.
The news has caused Followed Toy to pull its products
while conducts a company wide audit. So I know you're
(20:26):
you're miss Ai over here. I am get a pH
d and a I nobody knows more about AI than Baulina, as.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I've learned this week.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
But he as a pr woman for AI. How would
you save that story?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Well, yeah, I don't. I don't play with that. I
don't play with kids. I don't play with knives.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But you know you don't encourage kids playing with matches
using their toy stuffed animal.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
No, No, that they took it too far with this one. See,
that's the scary side of it, and that's very real.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
So is getting therapy from AI. That's also scary too.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Therapist is like, hey, have you ever.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Heard of BDSM and matches at the same time and knives.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
No, I use it for when I fight with Hobby
over the leftover lasagna.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That's different, The bad signs different.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
The TSA might possibly start charging a fee to air
travelers who don't have a real ID. And you don't
do you know, Lisa, because you is this another one
of the things you refused to do?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
One more thing? No, I'm not doing this. My idea
is real. We got it when you gave it to me.
It's still real today, Kiki.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
We got it.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
The TSA has proposed a rule that would charge travelers
without a real ID eighteen dollars at security checkpoints, and
plans to launch a biometric identity verification program for people
who don't have a real ID or other approved ID
like a passport. The TSA says affirmative ID verification methods
are time and resource intensive, so the fee would cover
(21:51):
the government's costs. Passengers will start paying the fee once
the TSA announces that people could register for the alternative
identity verification program at TSAI. Travel experts say the theme
is reasonable since travelers have had years to years tiki
to get a real ID, and paying eighteen bucks to
potentially travel with that one isn't unreasonable. Requirements would vary
(22:12):
by state, so the TSA advises people to check their
states Drivers Licensed Bureau website to see what they would
need to get a real idea. I got to think
it's more reasonable to get a real ID now than
it isn't. The rush kind of over. You could probably
walk in and get one right now. But like, why
are we doing this?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
We'll walk up and said, this, this ID that I
issued is no longer real, and this new is real?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Like why are we putting IDs in phone?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's tired of it?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
They got you can put your ID in your phone? Now,
why are we doing that? It's called technology, We're evolving whatever.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
This is a scam.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
But see they messed up to last time because when
I went, because I also don't have one.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
When I went, I moved, so I didn't bring shot
shocking news.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Probably TIKI don't have the thing that you're supposed to
have gotten a year ago. That's right, wild information. This
is the craziest thing I've ever heard before.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Right, she's a home talking to GP. Why do you
to go to the DMV and get your real ID?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
If I could, I would, you know, I would send
them so quick. I didn't have a utility bill printed
or something. So I am a social security What do
you need that for? For me to prove who I am?
To get a real idea what I mean?
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Mean?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
What it is?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
How you id people? It's the purpose of the Social
Security number. I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
You don't get to like it. It's like you like it,
like I'm already me. Why would I prove that to you?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Who else is trying to be me?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I'm well, that's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Is a zo people out there just trying to be
you and scamming people and whatever. This is the way
in the future, TEK, We got to embrace it. I
have the last ID that you gave me. You gave
me this ID. I issued it myself to you, which
is why you need a real ID, because I drew it.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
No, I drew a picture of you.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Take that idea, and that's enough.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I don't know what my birth certificty is like, come on, man,
And in today's version, you can still use your passport,
I guess, and but you're gonna have to update that
at some point because they have chips in the passport now.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Chip yeah, and they don't they don't stamp them anymore,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
A lot of places don't share them. No, no, same,
A lot of places don't stamp them. And then I
guess there's a place in the airport where for the
countries that don't stamp them, where you can go and
get a stamp if you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Really must have one.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Must. But I don't know who's doing that. And in
we don't have enough money news today, or someone has
way too much money. A pristine copy of Superman Number
one from nineteen thirty nine the comic book just sold
for nine point one two million dollars, making it the
most valuable comic book ever. The book's near perfect nine
point zero grade stun collector is almost unheard of for
(24:33):
an eighty six year old issue. It's conditioned rarity, and
the landmark moments inside it helped drive the astronomical price.
The comic features early foundational storylines and key first appearances
that shape the first Superman franchise, making it one of
the holy grails of collecting. Before the sale, the previous
Superman record belonged to a private sale copy that sold
(24:56):
for five point three million in twenty twenty two that
had an eight grade, so yeah, I don't know, and
you know how desperately I want to like comic books.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
It's just I don't know. It's not hitting for me because.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I feel like smart people people wate smarter than me,
you know, and like they like wake more culture than
I am.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Like comic books, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
People I admire like comic books, I don't. I don't
know that I want to be like a nerd about it,
like Maris our coworker down the way, and I love him,
but like big time nerd love, Oh my god. Yeah.
But then again, I'm not wearing it today. I was
wearing a peanut shirt yesterday, so I'm in no position
to talk.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
That.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Being said, I don't know, there's something about like I
like reading and the storylines are really good and the
character development's really good, and smart people read this stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I want to be a smart person.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You are very smart.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I want to be smarter than smart.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You are, and I don't think you need comic books
for that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
In this segment's brought to you by Real ID where
they're going to lock you up if you don't get one.
They're waiting outside to take you away. It's a stuff
to educator's day. Which that's a hard job. Yes, that's
like trying to be a decent step parent. It's a
hard job. Yeah, it's a hard job. You know, there
are a lot of indecent step parents out there who
don't care. But like being a quality substitute educator and
(26:14):
being a quality step parent.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's not for the faint of heart. It's not right.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
National Gingerbread Cookie Day. I wish I could tell you
which of my step moms is my stepmom currently.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I just don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't because there's been for many of them, and
some more than once. National Yeah, yeah, it's a real story.
And you want to know why I'm the way I
am to have a seed National Gingerbread Cookie Day and
National Stuffing Day today. And I had another Thanksgiving sandwich
last night, this time from Capriotes because I am embracing
the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Sandwich this year.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You're in the holiday spirit?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, no, I just like a Thanksgiving sandwich. Subway has one.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think maybe Arby's has one, I heard, And then
I don't know how many places have Caprioti They know
it's a chain, but they have one. You know where
they put everything on the on the sandwich, the turkey,
the dressing, they put mayo, they put cranberry sauce. Some
put like, uh those those those dehydrated onions on there,
or like crispy onions.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Some people do that, Oh, because you won't get the
food on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Right, yeah, because we travel.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, you're in a tropical place, right, So they don't.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It's like for twenty five years ago going to this
place and they don't. They don't do it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Sometimes you'll try and do it, Like you'll walk into
like some little what do you guys eat on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I don't know whatever?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
They like fish, yeah, like taco, fish, taco I don't know, fish, yeah, stuff.
But then they'll have a little sign like for hey,
you lame Americans, like you want to we have this
if you want it. It's like I look at it
and I'm like I kind of want it, but then
I don't want to be that guy, right, so I
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But yeah, no I don't. I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I can't remember the last time we had a traditional Thanksgiving,
a traditional Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
With like all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Okay, so you got to get it in now.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Which leads us to our next topic in just a moment.
This might one of the more controversial topic is we
may we may ever discuss on this show.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Report is on the fread show Fred.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Did you see this?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Our girl, Karen Reid, who was found not guilty in
the death of her boyfriend Boston copp John O'Keefe, has
filed a lawsuit accusing members of the Massachusetts State Police
of framing her for his murder.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So she is suing and as she should.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
She walked out of court of course, earlier this year
after more than three years and two trials, so she
was put through the ringer. And this lawsuit says was
all resulting from the gross misconduct of the State Police
and those working in tandem with them. Aka I'm talking
to you, Amtbvmbeth.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
By the way, this is how the lawyers get paid.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
This is what's oh really, well, my guess would be
if they this was all a gamble, because the whole thing,
the whole time, was that the lawyers weren't getting paid
because they didn't have any because she didn't have any money.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh right, But then.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
If they win Alan Jackson, then I would imagine that
they get a piece of all these civil suits and
any kind of deep book deals in Netflix deals. So
I think what they were doing was they were betting
on the future. It's like, hey, if we win, because
there's no way that they're not going to take their
piece of all this. Yeah, you know what I mean,
all the civil suits, all the entertainment deals, all that. Yeah,
so then that's how he's getting his Plus he won.
(29:14):
Alan Jackson and those guys they all won. Now they
can say that they beat the system, right, and look
at me, I'm shouting, get all kinds of work.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Now for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And going up against the police. I mean, that's a
hard thing to do.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
But also like even just as her, I would want
to suit too, because there's so many I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Not saying it's not principally right, right if she didn't
do it, the way what they put her through is crazy,
and just.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
The investigation and the way they were talking about her,
it was just it was just so it was gross.
We'll see what happens, and yeah, I'm sure they'll probably
also get money just from it being such a huge case, right,
I mean, but I guess yeah, they were doing it
for free. It looks like Kelsey Ballerini singer If You
Don't Know, and Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes are broken
up again after what friends are calling a roller coaster
(29:57):
relationships of the pair who dated for me nearly three years,
officially ended things this past September. Then for a second
there it looks like they got back together this month.
But yesterday Chase hopped on Instagram decided to include us
in their breakup, which I appreciate, as you know, and
posted a pair of cryptic Instagram stories.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
The first one read, don't believe the media.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I'm blocked. I did nothing wrong. Sorry, I tried to
which people were writing, it's very much giving that you
did something wrong, right, Why do you feel they need.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
To say that?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
The next read, I'm sorry for those who believed in us.
It is what it is, onwards and upwards. So I
guess I checked. She doesn't follow him, so she must
actually have him blocked. But uh, he's sorry, and he tried, right, Like,
what what would possess you to post kind of story?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
He's going through it yesterday now right, very much so
in real time and last week.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And I was counting on them, you know, at Thanksgiving
we were going to we were going to express our
gratitude for that relationship at the Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I actually thought they were so sweet.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But but like, I don't who was the apologizing to,
Like fans, I guess I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
They These couples talk about it all the time, like
christ and Bealan dack Shepherd will say, like the pressure
of people being like you're the reason I believe in
love sometimes gets a lot, especially if you're having issues.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
In your relationship and you feel like the weight of that.
I guess, but I guess.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I've never I mean, sure, I'm sad when couples break up,
you know that have been together for a long time.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's like, that's sad, But it doesn't. It doesn't. My
identity is not attached to it.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yeah, good, that's the people for you.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
God forbid Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey. Of my breakup,
people are going to be devastated by They'll be so upset.
But I think people will take it to five thousand
times too far and be far too dramatic about it. Guys,
that's their life. You know, you shouldn't hinde your happiness
on someone else's happiness. Like people are gonna oh my good.
Can you imagine what would happen. I'm sure they do
(31:48):
feel a lot of pressure about that. But how about
focus on your relationships.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Can you think of a couple though, maybe that you
know in real life, then that's like you're like you
look at them and you're just like, wow, that's a
great relationship.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
No, I don't know one couple. I don't know one
couple who I look at and say, I know couples
that I respect. I know couples that love each other
and I think that's wonderful for them. I don't look
at one couple and say I must have that life.
Not one.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
First of all, i've never met the man.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
The first full frontal shot I got on the guy
was in your engagement photos, and I was and.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, full frontal, full frontal.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, and I I noticed. I don't even think you.
I don't know that you particularly you didn't even acknowledge it.
But I wrote in the comments, what a stud I
think he is? Okay, well, I think you didn't like
that because because I already said you're amazing. So but
it was time for me to recognize my man over there,
big Jim. I know that that video was a lot
(32:49):
about you. But he was featured and it was the
first time I saw the guy, and I'm like, that's
a good looking guy. Yeah, that's a stun. He's a
stud and I get it now.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't get why he made you eight seven and
a half years, but I understand the appeal. Good looking dude.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Okay, but you don't want you don't think it's a
dream to have his life.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I do get it.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Kicking you're my sister. I do have this life without
the sex. Okay, So I do have his life.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Imagine being with Olivia Dean right, like a voice, the
voice of Olivia Dean.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I can't imagine waking up every morning. So this is
the Canary sounds of Olivia Dean serenading me. All yeah,
you guys, I do have the life of being married
to all of you. And Jason don't want it. No, No,
I'm very happy. I'm very happy with the relationship that we.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
And when you get to leave us, right, you guys,
just go to the iHeart Radio app and look at
the new highlights tab, please, and then while you're there,
consume the show and set us as a pre set
by jingle Ball Tickets also go to YouTube fread Show Radio.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Also go to Instagram Fred Show Radio and go to
the Freends Show TikTok.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Do you guys look at it that way?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I mean, do you I'm begging?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Do you honest honestly?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think I already know the answers, but I'm gonna
keep them to myself for just until you answer. But
do you honestly do you guys look at other relationships?
Actually I know I know how Jace would answer to
but do you look at other relationships and say I want.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
That there are there are a few.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
I will say marriages, I have a heart like newly
or married people.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I'm either that's not real?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Then oh wait what don't You cannot judge someone based
on how they just met or how they just got married.
I think the only way to judge a relationship is
after five years, oh three to five years, like oh yeah,
I'm sure I've been in a wedding before and been
like that's wonderful. Talk to me on Monday, or talk
to me after the honeymoon, or talk to me when
(34:48):
the utility bill comes in at the condo, you know,
six months later, and someone forgot to pay it and
there's a late fee, and the whole thing's over.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I'm not saying people don't love each other. I'm not
saying that people don't have amazing relationship and long marriages
and long lives together. But I cannot judge that one
based on their wedding day or based on within the
first six months of meeting each other. Talk to me
after five years of a relationship, and I don't think
the emotions are the same.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You're speaking facts.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I don't think we loss might be the same.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Idolize anybody's relationship because you really don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
That's that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
But there are relationships that you look at and it
makes you believe in love.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Like, yes, I was shook when Keith Urban did that,
you know what I'm saying, Like that really took the
wind beneath my well.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I know, so, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
But I look at their relationship like it's a beautiful couple.
Our boss, for example, the way he talks to me
about his wife. I wish that my husband, or I
hope that my husband one day will talk about his
wife that way.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So they're one of mine. Actually, yes, because they have fun.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
I love them so it's like I don't idolize, you know,
shut out to James Barci Man.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I just get so emotional them, you know, like, you
know what I think, you know what I think loves her. Hey,
look I just had dinner with them. I agree with you.
I think she beats his ass at home. I think
she beats his ass. I think she beats the crap
out of him.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That's what I think. That's what I think.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Sometimes.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah, maybe he needs it, No, he does.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
They're one of the couples that I look at and
I'm like, you guys genuinely like each other, and I think.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
That that's very rare.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Real.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
No, I get that.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I get that, Like I would take there really, but
that should be the minimum expectation of a marriage.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
But it's hard out.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Here for it.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Get the way hay let Polina use that credit card.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You mean, the way that he texts every morning and said,
good morning, don't use the credit card anymore.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
She says, it's so nice, like you're never taking it away.
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Honestly, and after what she put him through, I do
believe in love because that man loves her. She clips
her toenails in the bed. Dude, she loves her hard.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I think there's a difference though, between loving each other
deeply and having a life that I like.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Do I want someone to love me that much?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah? But now.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
I can FLYi than an eagle. I really could have.
Kiki would just be the wind beneath my waves. You
already are. Then I can go home alone, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah, Okay, that's not one for you.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
And I'm with you, guys.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I'm also with you, Kiki, that you can't I don't
think you can eat even the relationships that you look at.
And I'm more suspect of the relationships that you look
at from the outside and say, wow, they're perfect, that's perfect.
I don't buy it. For example, my parents have both
been divorced. My mom wants my dad. This is his
(37:55):
third marriage. They've been together for almost forty years. Thirty wow,
thirty six years, I think. And I'll be honest with you,
there are moments when I've been present and I think
these two hate each other right now, like oh yeah,
like hate. But I'll tell you something, I don't think.
And there have been times when I thought maybe it
(38:15):
was over. Honestly, they will be together forever until they die.
They will and that to me, it's not an attractive
relationship at all times. In fact, I would say half
the time, I'm like, I don't know how you do.
I don't know how you do him and how he
does you. I have no idea. But they love each
other deeply. And so I think sometimes the things that
people look at and say that's what I want aren't
(38:36):
necessarily the things that people actually really would need, or
the things that are real that keep the thing going forever,
because it's not always pretty spoken from the guy who's
never been married and only had six months relationships, but.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
That's real though you drop effects.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
So I think sometimes when you see, oh my god,
they're so blissfully happy, oh my god, I think that's
not the equation for the relationship that I think people
really want, that has that solid foundation to where bad
things can happen and they're still there. That's the stuff
that you see when you first meet someone and you're
blissfully in love. That's not when they crapped in a
toilet and clogged it and you walk in there and like,
(39:12):
what did you you know? And I don't know, and
then and then who knows whatever, whatever whatever scenario is
so unattractive and you're like, oh my god, really you
again with this eat some fiber bro like you know something.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
For that already. So it's fine enough. Conspiracy theories i'd
have to have. I don't want to get back on Reddit.
The meanest stuff is posted by brother of Fred sixty
nine sixty nine on Reddit.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
No one will ever know it's me though, right never
you never know?
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Okay, Well, here's an etiquete question about gifting, which is
why I brought it up. And this is on Reddit,
by the way, because as Fred Hayter Lauren would say,
that's the only place I can get content is Reddit,
so yeah, it's a great place to get content. At
least I credited me. I never should have credited it.
I should just say, oh my god, this isn't another
original idea from me.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
I know people in.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
The business who will read something on raddit and then
make it as if it was their own story, which
I have a lot of respect for you.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Just being like, yo, this is from raddit.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Less well, thank you of it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It is our job to scour the world for content
and then give you what we think is the best
of it. Okay, and we don't always succeed at that,
by the way, I'll be the first stupment that we
don't always succeed at that, but that's what we're here
to do.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
So we're here to entertain you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
We read all kinds of stupid things, hundreds of pages
of crap every day, which is the hardest part of
the job is just have to use our eyes and
read and concentrate, which we don't do that very well either.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
A woman logged onto Reddit after botting a three hundred
dollars charge on her joint credit card. She confronted her
husband and discovered that the money was for a wedding
gift that he bought for a female coworker. The issue, though,
is that neither she nor her husband were invited to
the wedding. Her husband defended the gifts by saying the
coworker had shared a wedding registry if you have the
company slack channel, which that's bold, whoa woasty? I mean,
(04:24):
I don't know if we have a company slack channel.
I'm not a slack person. I haven't gone there to
find content yet, but I will. Don't worry. If there's
a place I can get content without having to do anything,
I'll go. But can you imagine if you just sent
you should do it and see what happens. Send your
wedding registry to a company all email.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And the funny thing is people would buy you stuff.
They talk about you behind your back, but you'd get
more stuff. No. Yeah, so he believed that that justified
the purchase. She disagreed, pointing out that at her own
baby shower their own baby shower he was, I guess
involved with that co worker had given them a modest
twenty dollars gift. Many comments as sided with the wife,
(05:04):
calling the coworkers registry post taxi and questioning the husband's
judgment in spending so much on someone he barely knows.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Is there okay?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Is there a difference between a wedding registry and a
baby registry? If I'm not invited to the baby shower,
you are you still expected to buy a baby gift?
If I'm not invited to the wedding, but I know
the person and I want to be nice, can I
send a wedding present? Now? I think this could probably
be used passive aggressively. I could see someone sending a
wedding gift to a wedding they weren't invited to as
(05:34):
a reminder that they weren't invited. But let's just say
you're not being petty for once, and you just want
to be a nice person. And maybe someone's getting married
at a destination, or it's a small wedding or a family wedding,
or maybe I work with them but I don't know
them all that well, but I do want to do
something nice because maybe I'm I don't know. I don't
know the scenario here, the demographics, but maybe he's an older,
(05:54):
more established co worker and she's younger and starting there,
starting a life, and he wanted to do something for her.
I don't see this as that egregious. If they have
the money, I don't know that they. You have to
be invited to a wedding to buy somebody a wedding
gift if you want to be nice. In fact, I
would almost rather sometimes buy a wedding gift than not
have to go to the wedding. Oh that's almost a
(06:14):
cheaper way out, okay, noted. Yeah no, I've already auctioned off.
I've already made money on my plus one for years,
So don't be there, don't worry. No, we gotta, we gotta.
It's like the stock market right now, the price is
going up. Yeah, people are. It's on eBay right now.
It's win a Date with Me Takiki's wedding y and
currently it's hit seventeen dollars, but it wasn't ten, so
(06:36):
it's going up very quickly. Yeah. No, I think we
could probably get close to Yeah. Yeah, did anyone buy
you a gift. He wasn't invited to the wedding. Yeah, no, no.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
No, not that didn't happen on people that I even invited,
that didn't even RSVP or said a gift. You guys know,
I don't really care about the gift, but I still
think that's a little weird.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
People showed up who didn't do our VP.
Speaker 6 (06:55):
No, no, no, no, Like I sent an invitation to someone
that we work with very closely and he didn't even
r s v P yes or no, didn't give a gift.
But I know he gave gifts to another coworker that
got married, if that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
That was a male. Very interesting, not the point of
the story.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
My point is that not the point of the story.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Let's go ahead and get that out there.
Speaker 6 (07:13):
Waiting this moment to be honest yet, yes, finally, wait
me to say something. But for my baby shower, my
dear dear coworker, writer, coworker Beyonce Fox was on the
one of the throw the legend. She sent a gift
with another coworker who was at my baby shower. And
that was the sweetest thing. It was like the cutest
little outfit and and that moment don't get if I
(07:33):
could be honest, I felt guilty, Like that made me
feel guilt because I was like, oh, I should have
invited you, and she didn't. I don't think she wanted
the invite, but I think she just wanted to be
sweet in that moment. And she is the sweetest woman ever. Yes,
but I was like, to me, I felt like, oh,
I felt really bad. You know, That's how I took it.
I was like, oh, like, you're sweet, but I feel
bad she did because because.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
There's no way you could possibly invite every run right,
everybody in your orbit.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
We barely fit in my baby shower. You have to
fit the drag queens.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know, I think I've sent I think I've sent
gifts to baby registries before for showers I wasn't invited
to because I'm a guy, and a lot of times
guys aren't invited to the showers. But like it's a
coworker's wife, and so yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I
think I've done that, but I want to know eight five, five, five, nine,
one one oh three five call in text the same number,
and of course do you think of course you guys
(08:22):
can comment on this too. Oh you guys are welcome
to chime in if you'd like your commentary's value.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But I mean, I guess I don't understand what the
problem is. Like if they don't have any money and
he's giving gifts to someone who's wedding he wasn't invited to,
then I would say, why are you giving them money?
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like we need money?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Right, you know that that's an egregious expense, like like
what is Then I would start to wonder, like what's
the nature of that relationship, like are you obsessed with.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Her or something?
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Because like, well, if we don't have money and you're
sending gifts to I mean, look, if we don't have money, right,
which a lot of people don't have money, right, I mean,
I know if you get if you get in you know, holidays,
and then you get in I do a wedding, and
then god forbid, somebody gets pregnant like it could be.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And then if.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Someone's birthday, it gets a little trim in the bank account.
This time of year gets a little trim in the
old bank account. Okay, aryt yeah right, I got I
got multiple birthdays. I gotta buy Christmas presents for everybody,
you know, just travel like it gets a little trim
in the old bank account this time of year. The
summer's not great for me either, because I got dad's
sister mom, and so I get, you know, a little
(09:25):
brokie in the summer too. But if I didn't have
any money, and I had and I'm in a relation
and married and I'm sending gifts to a woman's wedding
that I wasn't invited to and we're broke, then I
think then you start to ask questions, right, like what why?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
But if we have enough money, and you would and
it's a nice thing to do, and I think what
I would say is, hey, look, we didn't here we go,
We're not we don't have to go to the wedding,
we don't have to dress up, we don't have to
do anything. I want to do something nice for this person.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, I think it was a nice gesture.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You work with someone, you see that they're you know,
getting married or having a baby. I think he was
so totally fine to send a gift. But if, like
you said, if we're already having financial issues, that's a
big problem.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
You shouldn't be sending anybody a gift.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, I do think the other thing is if you
send a gift to someone who's wedding you weren't invited
to in an office setting, for example, and there are
a lot of weddings you didn't get invited to, then
why wouldn't you so you don't send gifts to them?
You know, then you start to bid why her over
the other ones they missing around? But that's also not
(10:29):
for anyone else to say that. Would that the only
person whose opinions matter in that or the guy who
bought the gift and the guy's wife.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Oh yeah, but like if they were messing around, why
would you buy her a wedding gift?
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Like what?
Speaker 5 (10:39):
Maybe he's trying to be like, hmmm, I see you
over getting married. Don't forget about us? Yeah, oh yeah,
don't forget about us. Yeah, that's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
That's or some sort of weird obsession or something, I
don't know, obsessedon.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Aaron.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
How you doing, Aaron? I'm good, are you good morning?
I'm great, Thanks for listening, thanks for calling.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
So what do you think this dude bought a wedding
gift for a co worker, spent three hundred dollars and
he's not invited the wedding and the wife is like, why'd.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You do that?
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Yeah, that's crazy. I was just right now, there's two
teachers in the building that are getting married to each other,
and our boss sent like a message to suggest donating
to the wedding gift. And I didn't get invited to
the wedding, So I'm like, why are you asking me
to give them money? And like, there's another weddings that
have happened just not to teachers. I married someone who
doesn't work in the building and they didn't give us anything.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
So it just seems really really interesting.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
I'm not going to go.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
So I guess maybe because it's two teachers getting married
that that's kind of like a rare special event. But
I don't know if that's appropriate for the principal of
the school to be asking you to give a gift
to them, unless it's unless it's I don't know, miss
he's throwing a party for them internally, because it's because again,
like if you get married to someone who doesn't work
(11:56):
in the school, he's not going to send out a
go fud me or whatever. He's not going to send
out a registry for you. But are they making a
bigger deal out of it because they both work there,
so it's kind of kitchy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Is that what it is?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Maybe, but like I mean, they generally do like donations
for like baby and pretty much just that, but they
never do it for weddings. And I don't know. I mean, yes,
you just don't get paid enough.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Maybe it's like that, that's true.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I'm not invited to the wedding, so like, happy for them,
good for them, But I'm not going to donate.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think I blame you. Thank you, eron,
have a good day, good point. No, I love you too.
I don't think that you should donate because you feel pressured.
I also think that's it. That's a tough thing. Can
you imagine if everybody who had a baby or got
married around here we sent an email out with the
thing like that's never happened. I've never once gotten a
like from from a bomb an email to you the
(12:48):
entire cluster of radio stations saying hey, so and so
is having a baby. Here's the registry. If you'd have
to do it every single time, oh yes, right exactly,
so I wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't think i'd go down that road.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Just ask like, if there's someone here that had a
baby that I want to get a gift.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
For, I'm like, do you have a registry? You know?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
And I mean, even though I'm sitting it out, it's
not mandatory. I'm sure the principle didn't say you must.
You know, like, it's not mandatory. It's just like, if
you want it to here's.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
The link, but you better do it every time.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Well, well, because this person, I mean, maybe she got
married and there was no thing.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
There was no link sent out.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
You know, there wasn't.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's what I mean. Like, if you're gonna do it
one time, you're gonna have to do it every time.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Right because people like Paulina will never forget.
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I'll never forget, and they're gonna have their moment too.
Don't let the world know.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well, and inevitably somebody will hit reply to all, especially
if it's at this office, because even though it says
don't hit reply to all, somebody will hit reply to
all and then they'll respond to something that they think
is only for the guy who sent the email, but
really everybody gets to see it. And it's the same
culprits every time. Do we not understand how reply to
all works. There are two options. There's reply and reply
(13:55):
to all, and it never fails. Anytime there is a
group email sent out, at least three people will hit
reply to all with something and then they'll ask a
question that has only to do with them. I would
personally be interested in that. Well, then send a personal email.
He got started early this morning. Guys like they got
to started early.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It irks me. It's two different.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
But Fred's show is on the biggest stories of the day, right,
Jason Brown's out today. However, we have the picks in
a sealed envelope. Ernst and Young has certified the results.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Let's go with a week whatever. This is twelve.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think maybe week twelve of the NFL. Jason Brown,
our sports reporters unsanctioned gambling picks. Draft Queens dot Com
is the sponsor. That's not real. I got you good.
He having Bill's Texans, well you know he had a Yeah. Well,
a lot of people probably had the bills and lost
money Texans one last night. Yeah, yes, Josh allensacked eight times.
(14:59):
He got the sack eight, which is chasing stream, except
not the right thing.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
I wonder if you have. Do you want me to
just read it because it'll be easier.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Yes, will probably be out of order.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Okay, all right, sir.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
So for cold Chiefs you already know, he would say Chiefs, Kingdom, Seahawks, Titans.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
He took the Titans, Titans.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
As you would say, sorry, excuse me, Vikings, Packers, took
the Vikings, Jets, Ravens. He's going with the Jets, Giants, Lions.
He knows what to do. He went the Lions, Steelers, Bears.
He took the Bears, Patriots versus Bengals. I'm surprised, but
he took the Pats, Browns versus Raiders. He's going the Browns, Jags,
(15:38):
the Cardinals, Jaguars, Jaguars, Eagles versus Cowboy Nation.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
You already know Falcons.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
He took over the Saints, Rams over the Bucks, and
the Panthers over the four Niners.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Wow. Wow, So he doesn't mind the smoke from.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Bella, then I guess not. I guess not in his parsley.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Oh here we oh has everyone been playing in the
par slatest week ers?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Well, you know what, I'm not sure. I hope that
he made sure of that.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Uh whatever has before?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
So well he probably didn't today either.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
Woody Marks, who I've never heard of, will catch five times.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I'm sure we will get text about that.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
I've never heard of him, but he's going to catch
five times. That's that's something.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Well I'm not I don't know the most about the NFL,
so it's possible he's still good. But aj Brown will
score at least one time. And lastly, Trey McBride will
run one in.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, okay, all right, there you have it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yes, if you need to go back to the iHeart
app to review those to place your bets, and you're
welcome to do that.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I'll do it later.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They'll be up there. Yeah right, not right now.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Can post a photo if you guys want.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
We're in the middle of a live radio.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Show, so yeah, when I play my bets, I'll do
that later.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And the text are already coming in to my phone.
So you so you really are going to not take
you know, X y Z to Kiki's wedding. There are
people who believe that they're entitled to the spot. Oh

actual eBay.

I think it.

Should be like for the love of for it, for
the night I'm down.
Speaker 2 (17:06):

so I don't want to go ciberis all right. I
love look at a slipping slide if you know. You know,
I like how you're not adding rooms for me to
the wedding budget. Like we're just spending at at a
reckless pace.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
We really are. Like it's wild.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
It's a it's a state of delusion I've never experienced
before in my life.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But it's kind of fun, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I don't want to hear about it in a second.
I know you're worried about being scammed too, but we'll
get to them. Amazon has started sending out payments to
eligible Prime members. It's part of a two point five
billion dollars settlement. Maybe you get some money from Amazon
as opposed to spending money with Amazon, which is it
seems to just go out with Amazon, and money just
goes towards them and away from me. That's all it
(18:01):
ever happens. That's all I ever happened to Amazon. They
started sending out refunds to eligible Prime members as part
of a two point five billion dollars settlement with the FTC,
the Federal Trade Commission. The company agreed to pay out
in September to settle a twenty twenty three lawsuit where
the FTC accused Amazon of misleading customers into signing up
for Prime and making it hard to cancel. Under the deal,
Amazon will pay a billion dollars in civil penalties and
(18:23):
one point five billion to eligible customers, though the company
didn't admit any wrongdoing. Eligible Prime members will receive refunds
of their subscription fees up to fifty one dollars. To qualify,
you must have signed up through certain enrollment pages between
June of twenty nineteen and June of twenty twenty five,
(18:44):
and use no more than three Prime benefits in any
twelve month period after enrolling.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
This is pretty slim.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
I don't know how many people did that, but the
payments to begin earlier this month then will continue through
December via PayPal Venmo or a check.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
That's another thing.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
If I got a paypaler request or a PayPal thing
from Amazon, I'd probably deny it, thinking I'm getting scammed, right, Like,
what are you trying to do to me? You're not
sending me money PayPal from Amazon.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
They just dump it in there. They don't even ask
you to accept it.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You wake up to money or PayPal anytime people are
sending me money. I'm like, hold on, yeah, yeah, yeah,
what is this one of those deals where hey, if
you give me your social Security number? You you Nigerian
prints you, I'll send you. Yeah, we have eighteen gazillion
dollars in an account because you're a descendant of a
Nigerian prince. All we need is your PayPal information and
before long then I owe somebody eighteen million dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
AI has It's gone too far? Guys? I mean, and
how many.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Times am I going to say that in the next decade? Uh.
There's a talking bear that's AI driven that's been pulled
because it shared everything from kinks to where to find knives.
A toy company is halting sales of its AI powered
stuffed animals after reports that they would talk to children
about anything from BDSM to where they could find knives.
(20:02):
The follow Toy has a line of products, including Teddy
Bears and pandas that use open ayes Chat GPT to
talk with kids. Consumer safety report found that there wasn't
much that the toys wouldn't talk about. The bear even
offered an especially detailed description of how to light a match.
The news has caused Followed Toy to pull its products
while conducts a company wide audit. So I know you're
(20:26):
you're miss Ai over here. I am get a pH
d and a I nobody knows more about AI than Baulina, as.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I've learned this week.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
But he as a pr woman for AI. How would
you save that story?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Well, yeah, I don't. I don't play with that. I
don't play with kids. I don't play with knives.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But you know you don't encourage kids playing with matches
using their toy stuffed animal.
Speaker 6 (20:45):
No, No, that they took it too far with this one. See,
that's the scary side of it, and that's very real.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
So is getting therapy from AI. That's also scary too.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Therapist is like, hey, have you ever.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Heard of BDSM and matches at the same time and knives.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
No, I use it for when I fight with Hobby
over the leftover lasagna.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
That's different, The bad signs different.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
The TSA might possibly start charging a fee to air
travelers who don't have a real ID. And you don't
do you know, Lisa, because you is this another one
of the things you refused to do?
Speaker 5 (21:23):
One more thing? No, I'm not doing this. My idea
is real. We got it when you gave it to me.
It's still real today, Kiki.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
We got it.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
The TSA has proposed a rule that would charge travelers
without a real ID eighteen dollars at security checkpoints, and
plans to launch a biometric identity verification program for people
who don't have a real ID or other approved ID
like a passport. The TSA says affirmative ID verification methods
are time and resource intensive, so the fee would cover
(21:51):
the government's costs. Passengers will start paying the fee once
the TSA announces that people could register for the alternative
identity verification program at TSAI. Travel experts say the theme
is reasonable since travelers have had years to years tiki
to get a real ID, and paying eighteen bucks to
potentially travel with that one isn't unreasonable. Requirements would vary
(22:12):
by state, so the TSA advises people to check their
states Drivers Licensed Bureau website to see what they would
need to get a real idea. I got to think
it's more reasonable to get a real ID now than
it isn't. The rush kind of over. You could probably
walk in and get one right now. But like, why
are we doing this?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
We'll walk up and said, this, this ID that I
issued is no longer real, and this new is real?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Like why are we putting IDs in phone?
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's tired of it?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
They got you can put your ID in your phone? Now,
why are we doing that? It's called technology, We're evolving whatever.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
This is a scam.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
But see they messed up to last time because when
I went, because I also don't have one.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
When I went, I moved, so I didn't bring shot
shocking news.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Probably TIKI don't have the thing that you're supposed to
have gotten a year ago. That's right, wild information. This
is the craziest thing I've ever heard before.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Right, she's a home talking to GP. Why do you
to go to the DMV and get your real ID?
Speaker 6 (23:03):
If I could, I would, you know, I would send
them so quick. I didn't have a utility bill printed
or something. So I am a social security What do
you need that for? For me to prove who I am?
To get a real idea what I mean?
Speaker 7 (23:14):
Mean?
Speaker 4 (23:14):
What it is?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
How you id people? It's the purpose of the Social
Security number. I don't like it.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
You don't get to like it. It's like you like it,
like I'm already me. Why would I prove that to you?
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Who else is trying to be me?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I'm well, that's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Is a zo people out there just trying to be
you and scamming people and whatever. This is the way
in the future, TEK, We got to embrace it. I
have the last ID that you gave me. You gave
me this ID. I issued it myself to you, which
is why you need a real ID, because I drew it.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
No, I drew a picture of you.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Take that idea, and that's enough.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
I don't know what my birth certificty is like, come on, man,
And in today's version, you can still use your passport,
I guess, and but you're gonna have to update that
at some point because they have chips in the passport now.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Chip yeah, and they don't they don't stamp them anymore,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
A lot of places don't share them. No, no, same,
A lot of places don't stamp them. And then I
guess there's a place in the airport where for the
countries that don't stamp them, where you can go and
get a stamp if you.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Really must have one.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Must. But I don't know who's doing that. And in
we don't have enough money news today, or someone has
way too much money. A pristine copy of Superman Number
one from nineteen thirty nine the comic book just sold
for nine point one two million dollars, making it the
most valuable comic book ever. The book's near perfect nine
point zero grade stun collector is almost unheard of for
(24:33):
an eighty six year old issue. It's conditioned rarity, and
the landmark moments inside it helped drive the astronomical price.
The comic features early foundational storylines and key first appearances
that shape the first Superman franchise, making it one of
the holy grails of collecting. Before the sale, the previous
Superman record belonged to a private sale copy that sold
(24:56):
for five point three million in twenty twenty two that
had an eight grade, so yeah, I don't know, and
you know how desperately I want to like comic books.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
It's just I don't know. It's not hitting for me because.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
I feel like smart people people wate smarter than me,
you know, and like they like wake more culture than
I am.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Like comic books, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
People I admire like comic books, I don't. I don't
know that I want to be like a nerd about it,
like Maris our coworker down the way, and I love him,
but like big time nerd love, Oh my god. Yeah.
But then again, I'm not wearing it today. I was
wearing a peanut shirt yesterday, so I'm in no position
to talk.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
That.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Being said, I don't know, there's something about like I
like reading and the storylines are really good and the
character development's really good, and smart people read this stuff, and.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
I want to be a smart person.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
You are very smart.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I want to be smarter than smart.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
You are, and I don't think you need comic books
for that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
In this segment's brought to you by Real ID where
they're going to lock you up if you don't get one.
They're waiting outside to take you away. It's a stuff
to educator's day. Which that's a hard job. Yes, that's
like trying to be a decent step parent. It's a
hard job. Yeah, it's a hard job. You know, there
are a lot of indecent step parents out there who
don't care. But like being a quality substitute educator and
(26:14):
being a quality step parent.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's not for the faint of heart. It's not right.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
National Gingerbread Cookie Day. I wish I could tell you
which of my step moms is my stepmom currently.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
I just don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
I don't because there's been for many of them, and
some more than once. National Yeah, yeah, it's a real story.
And you want to know why I'm the way I
am to have a seed National Gingerbread Cookie Day and
National Stuffing Day today. And I had another Thanksgiving sandwich
last night, this time from Capriotes because I am embracing
the Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Sandwich this year.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
You're in the holiday spirit?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Well, no, I just like a Thanksgiving sandwich. Subway has one.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
I think maybe Arby's has one, I heard, And then
I don't know how many places have Caprioti They know
it's a chain, but they have one. You know where
they put everything on the on the sandwich, the turkey,
the dressing, they put mayo, they put cranberry sauce. Some
put like, uh those those those dehydrated onions on there,
or like crispy onions.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Some people do that, Oh, because you won't get the
food on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Right, yeah, because we travel.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Yeah, you're in a tropical place, right, So they don't.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It's like for twenty five years ago going to this
place and they don't. They don't do it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Sometimes you'll try and do it, Like you'll walk into
like some little what do you guys eat on Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I don't know whatever?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
They like fish, yeah, like taco, fish, taco I don't know, fish, yeah, stuff.
But then they'll have a little sign like for hey,
you lame Americans, like you want to we have this
if you want it. It's like I look at it
and I'm like I kind of want it, but then
I don't want to be that guy, right, so I
don't get it.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
But yeah, no I don't. I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
I can't remember the last time we had a traditional Thanksgiving,
a traditional Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
With like all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Okay, so you got to get it in now.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Which leads us to our next topic in just a moment.
This might one of the more controversial topic is we
may we may ever discuss on this show.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Report is on the fread show Fred.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Did you see this?
Speaker 4 (28:03):
Our girl, Karen Reid, who was found not guilty in
the death of her boyfriend Boston copp John O'Keefe, has
filed a lawsuit accusing members of the Massachusetts State Police
of framing her for his murder.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
So she is suing and as she should.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
She walked out of court of course, earlier this year
after more than three years and two trials, so she
was put through the ringer. And this lawsuit says was
all resulting from the gross misconduct of the State Police
and those working in tandem with them. Aka I'm talking
to you, Amtbvmbeth.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
By the way, this is how the lawyers get paid.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
This is what's oh really, well, my guess would be
if they this was all a gamble, because the whole thing,
the whole time, was that the lawyers weren't getting paid
because they didn't have any because she didn't have any money.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Oh right, But then.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
If they win Alan Jackson, then I would imagine that
they get a piece of all these civil suits and
any kind of deep book deals in Netflix deals. So
I think what they were doing was they were betting
on the future. It's like, hey, if we win, because
there's no way that they're not going to take their
piece of all this. Yeah, you know what I mean,
all the civil suits, all the entertainment deals, all that. Yeah,
so then that's how he's getting his Plus he won.
(29:14):
Alan Jackson and those guys they all won. Now they
can say that they beat the system, right, and look
at me, I'm shouting, get all kinds of work.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Now for sure.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
And going up against the police. I mean, that's a
hard thing to do.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
But also like even just as her, I would want
to suit too, because there's so many I'm.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Not saying it's not principally right, right if she didn't
do it, the way what they put her through is crazy,
and just.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
The investigation and the way they were talking about her,
it was just it was just so it was gross.
We'll see what happens, and yeah, I'm sure they'll probably
also get money just from it being such a huge case, right,
I mean, but I guess yeah, they were doing it
for free. It looks like Kelsey Ballerini singer If You
Don't Know, and Outer Banks actor Chase Stokes are broken
up again after what friends are calling a roller coaster
(29:57):
relationships of the pair who dated for me nearly three years,
officially ended things this past September. Then for a second
there it looks like they got back together this month.
But yesterday Chase hopped on Instagram decided to include us
in their breakup, which I appreciate, as you know, and
posted a pair of cryptic Instagram stories.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
The first one read, don't believe the media.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
I'm blocked. I did nothing wrong. Sorry, I tried to
which people were writing, it's very much giving that you
did something wrong, right, Why do you feel they need.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
To say that?
Speaker 4 (30:27):
The next read, I'm sorry for those who believed in us.
It is what it is, onwards and upwards. So I
guess I checked. She doesn't follow him, so she must
actually have him blocked. But uh, he's sorry, and he tried, right, Like,
what what would possess you to post kind of story?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
He's going through it yesterday now right, very much so
in real time and last week.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And I was counting on them, you know, at Thanksgiving
we were going to we were going to express our
gratitude for that relationship at the Thanksgiving table.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
I actually thought they were so sweet.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But but like, I don't who was the apologizing to,
Like fans, I guess I don't know what.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
They These couples talk about it all the time, like
christ and Bealan dack Shepherd will say, like the pressure
of people being like you're the reason I believe in
love sometimes gets a lot, especially if you're having issues.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
In your relationship and you feel like the weight of that.
I guess, but I guess.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I've never I mean, sure, I'm sad when couples break up,
you know that have been together for a long time.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
It's like, that's sad, But it doesn't. It doesn't. My
identity is not attached to it.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Yeah, good, that's the people for you.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
God forbid Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey. Of my breakup,
people are going to be devastated by They'll be so upset.
But I think people will take it to five thousand
times too far and be far too dramatic about it. Guys,
that's their life. You know, you shouldn't hinde your happiness
on someone else's happiness. Like people are gonna oh my good.
Can you imagine what would happen. I'm sure they do
(31:48):
feel a lot of pressure about that. But how about
focus on your relationships.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
Can you think of a couple though, maybe that you
know in real life, then that's like you're like you
look at them and you're just like, wow, that's a
great relationship.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
No, I don't know one couple. I don't know one
couple who I look at and say, I know couples
that I respect. I know couples that love each other
and I think that's wonderful for them. I don't look
at one couple and say I must have that life.
Not one.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
First of all, i've never met the man.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
The first full frontal shot I got on the guy
was in your engagement photos, and I was and.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Yeah, full frontal, full frontal.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, and I I noticed. I don't even think you.
I don't know that you particularly you didn't even acknowledge it.
But I wrote in the comments, what a stud I
think he is? Okay, well, I think you didn't like
that because because I already said you're amazing. So but
it was time for me to recognize my man over there,
big Jim. I know that that video was a lot
(32:49):
about you. But he was featured and it was the
first time I saw the guy, and I'm like, that's
a good looking guy. Yeah, that's a stun. He's a
stud and I get it now.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't get why he made you eight seven and
a half years, but I understand the appeal. Good looking dude.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Okay, but you don't want you don't think it's a
dream to have his life.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I do get it.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Kicking you're my sister. I do have this life without
the sex. Okay, So I do have his life.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
Imagine being with Olivia Dean right, like a voice, the
voice of Olivia Dean.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I can't imagine waking up every morning. So this is
the Canary sounds of Olivia Dean serenading me. All yeah,
you guys, I do have the life of being married
to all of you. And Jason don't want it. No, No,
I'm very happy. I'm very happy with the relationship that we.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
And when you get to leave us, right, you guys,
just go to the iHeart Radio app and look at
the new highlights tab, please, and then while you're there,
consume the show and set us as a pre set
by jingle Ball Tickets also go to YouTube fread Show Radio.
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Also go to Instagram Fred Show Radio and go to
the Freends Show TikTok.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Do you guys look at it that way?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
I mean, do you I'm begging?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Do you honest honestly?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I think I already know the answers, but I'm gonna
keep them to myself for just until you answer. But
do you honestly do you guys look at other relationships?
Actually I know I know how Jace would answer to
but do you look at other relationships and say I want.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
That there are there are a few.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
I will say marriages, I have a heart like newly
or married people.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I'm either that's not real?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Then oh wait what don't You cannot judge someone based
on how they just met or how they just got married.
I think the only way to judge a relationship is
after five years, oh three to five years, like oh yeah,
I'm sure I've been in a wedding before and been
like that's wonderful. Talk to me on Monday, or talk
to me after the honeymoon, or talk to me when
(34:48):
the utility bill comes in at the condo, you know,
six months later, and someone forgot to pay it and
there's a late fee, and the whole thing's over.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I'm not saying people don't love each other. I'm not
saying that people don't have amazing relationship and long marriages
and long lives together. But I cannot judge that one
based on their wedding day or based on within the
first six months of meeting each other. Talk to me
after five years of a relationship, and I don't think
the emotions are the same.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
You're speaking facts.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I don't think we loss might be the same.
Speaker 5 (35:16):
Idolize anybody's relationship because you really don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
That's that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
But there are relationships that you look at and it
makes you believe in love.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Like, yes, I was shook when Keith Urban did that,
you know what I'm saying, Like that really took the
wind beneath my well.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
I know, so, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:31):
But I look at their relationship like it's a beautiful couple.
Our boss, for example, the way he talks to me
about his wife. I wish that my husband, or I
hope that my husband one day will talk about his
wife that way.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
So they're one of mine. Actually, yes, because they have fun.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
I love them so it's like I don't idolize, you know,
shut out to James Barci Man.
Speaker 2 (35:49):
I just get so emotional them, you know, like, you
know what I think, you know what I think loves her. Hey,
look I just had dinner with them. I agree with you.
I think she beats his ass at home. I think
she beats his ass. I think she beats the crap
out of him.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
That's what I think. That's what I think.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Sometimes.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Yeah, maybe he needs it, No, he does.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
They're one of the couples that I look at and
I'm like, you guys genuinely like each other, and I think.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
That that's very rare.
Speaker 7 (36:15):
Real.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
No, I get that.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I get that, Like I would take there really, but
that should be the minimum expectation of a marriage.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
But it's hard out.
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Here for it.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Get the way hay let Polina use that credit card.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
You mean, the way that he texts every morning and said,
good morning, don't use the credit card anymore.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
She says, it's so nice, like you're never taking it away.
Speaker 8 (36:36):
Honestly, and after what she put him through, I do
believe in love because that man loves her. She clips
her toenails in the bed. Dude, she loves her hard.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
I think there's a difference though, between loving each other
deeply and having a life that I like.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Do I want someone to love me that much?
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah? But now.
Speaker 1 (37:14):
I can FLYi than an eagle. I really could have.
Kiki would just be the wind beneath my waves. You
already are. Then I can go home alone, beautiful.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Yeah, Okay, that's not one for you.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
And I'm with you, guys.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I'm also with you, Kiki, that you can't I don't
think you can eat even the relationships that you look at.
And I'm more suspect of the relationships that you look
at from the outside and say, wow, they're perfect, that's perfect.
I don't buy it. For example, my parents have both
been divorced. My mom wants my dad. This is his
(37:55):
third marriage. They've been together for almost forty years. Thirty wow,
thirty six years, I think. And I'll be honest with you,
there are moments when I've been present and I think
these two hate each other right now, like oh yeah,
like hate. But I'll tell you something, I don't think.
And there have been times when I thought maybe it
(38:15):
was over. Honestly, they will be together forever until they die.
They will and that to me, it's not an attractive
relationship at all times. In fact, I would say half
the time, I'm like, I don't know how you do.
I don't know how you do him and how he
does you. I have no idea. But they love each
other deeply. And so I think sometimes the things that
people look at and say that's what I want aren't
(38:36):
necessarily the things that people actually really would need, or
the things that are real that keep the thing going forever,
because it's not always pretty spoken from the guy who's
never been married and only had six months relationships, but.
Speaker 3 (38:47):
That's real though you drop effects.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
So I think sometimes when you see, oh my god,
they're so blissfully happy, oh my god, I think that's
not the equation for the relationship that I think people
really want, that has that solid foundation to where bad
things can happen and they're still there. That's the stuff
that you see when you first meet someone and you're
blissfully in love. That's not when they crapped in a
toilet and clogged it and you walk in there and like,
(39:12):
what did you you know? And I don't know, and
then and then who knows whatever, whatever whatever scenario is
so unattractive and you're like, oh my god, really you
again with this eat some fiber bro like you know something.
