What are you working on? Kay?
Speaker 1 (00:37):
If you lost a ton of followers on Instagram, you're
not crazy.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I think I lost like five thousand. I'll tell you
why that happened.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh no, and I gotta go look you, I don't know.
It's gonna hurt my feelings, probably make me feel unpopular. Yeah, okay,
well all the people. That's it. Kaln's Entertainment Report is
on the Fread Show.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
So if you woke up and you were looking at
your Instagram and you realize you lost some followers on
Instagram this week.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Like I said, you're not crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Meta executed one of the most sweeping account cleanups in
the platform's history this week, wiping out millions of bot,
spam and inactive.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Followers in a single overnight wave.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So it's not just fake accounts, like if you don't
post a lot or whatever, you could have been wiped out. Now,
many major accounts from musicians to celebrities have been hit hard,
dropping millions in the last twenty bus.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That also, for sure, Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I mean I lost some, but I never I never
bought followers, but I guess maybe in active accounts. It
was the Skit was big enough to give it a
nickname on Threads and X. It's called the Great Purge
of twenty twenty six. People are calling it. They confirm
the action. They didn't warn anyone beforehand.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But some examples.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Kylie lost fifteen million followers, are on a Grande seven,
Taylor Swift dropped around five million. Black Pink and BTS
were hit the hardest in the music world, losing approximately
ten and seven million followers, respectively. The silver lining is
actually that body accounts don't like, comment or share, meaning
that removing them makes your active audience a larger percentage
(02:09):
of your total count. In the eyes of the algorithm,
a smaller, highly engaged audience is more valuable.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I never just should buying followers because you have like
one hundred thousand followers and then your post got three
likes and it's like, ohso, so you bought a bunch
of people that don't care about your stuff.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I mean, I'm sorry, I'd rather have.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
A thousand followers and have you know, two hundred of
them like everything I post, then have one hundred thousand
followers and half of them are fake. But a lot
of people, a lot of people did that.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Where do you go to buy them?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I always wonder the bought store, Like where do I
buy my credit card purchases? Like where do I go?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I don't know. That's ridiculous questions.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I lost a hundred, though I feel better too. No
people lost seven million less than hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Oh yeah, it's still strong, but yeah, my hundred.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, now I have a reason why. Thank you, Kalin,
I have a reason why.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
You're well, it's not because people don't like you. Will
probably what I thought right.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
At first somehow, but it's fine. I get in with that.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
So there you go. You're not going crazy, Fred, you
were right.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This Kasha interview on Call her daddy had a lot
of really wild things discussed. So after discussing Kasha's affinity
for collecting teeth and making jewelry out of them, Alex
asked her if the item she'd been carrying around was
a tooth, and she said, oh, no, that's my placenta.
(03:25):
And obviously Alex was stunned, and she said that she searched,
she was searching around, and she said, I lost my
placenta on your couch.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
It was like a whole Did you listen to the interview.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Love, Yeah, So apparently your placenta gives you second sight
and helps you open your third eye. This is according
to Kasha's mother. So she stuck it in the oven,
she put it in a box, and she found it
when she was twenty one in an old box in
the basement. She noted that doctors at the hospital where
she was born tried to throw it away. Her pacenta, yeah,
(04:00):
saying of her mom, she fought for that, So now
I carry it around.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
No wonder my third eye never opens. Yeah, I don't
have any pl on me at all.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
I ate mine. Yeah kills. Sorry, yeah I did, I
would do.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, Well that's okay. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm
not going to disact.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
So whatever she's doad.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
A lot of people do that, but yeah, I don't care.
I've never heard of someone carrying it around. But as
for the teeth collecting, she said, it just reminds me
when I have a little piece of people that I love.
I've been collecting them for a while. I have my cats.
They're little teeth taken out, so I carry those kittie
wisdom teeth.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
I collect those two. I'm like the tooth fairy.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So do you just carry anything random in your pursase,
like anything that I would be surprised? Is it like
a bottle of ranch in there or something? I do have?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Takeen many takeeens.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Very tahen with you, and I carry sage spray.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I have a little pocket knife. It's like an old
trick for my stepdad. Not crazy.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Do you ever worry that you're gonna get on a
plane with them?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, all the time. I have to make sure I
go take it out put it away. I have a
kid to like really have to hide it? Can just
leave it out in there on the stairs or something.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Jason, what do you care? Like, dude wipes with you,
like what do you have? You know?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
But I should have my little boo boo boo.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, I carry a rosary blessed by Pope John Paul.
Where do you.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You should not tell me that? Am I going to
miss it?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It's in my bag, I know because if my grandmother
wound up with it because a neighbor gave it to her,
and then when she passed away, it was given to me.
It's in like a Walmart coin purse. And then I
put it in my bag all these years ago, and
I thought, well, it's blessed by a pope. That's cool,
the Polish Pope at that. So I fingered, why not
I just keep it here?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
That can't hurt.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
As a good Catholic, I should know what to do
with that. And my Manna taught me once upon a time.
And I don't know what to do with it, but
I have it just in case. But it's in this room.
So sometimes I wonder if maybe you should stay outside
this room. Well sometimes yeah, well we certainly do need it.
But that's a fact. I just don't like it. Can
it hear me talking about bad things?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yes? Can hear you to you all the time?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Anyway, I thought that was kind of I think people
were surprised to hear that about.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Me, right well, I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I mean what we need the help we can get,
you know, anytime someone wants to bless me, I'm down
for that. Lastly, and this is a very weird right
turn alert, But Brittany Ferlan, she used to be big
on Vine. If you guys remember, she's married to Tommy Lee.
He's an iconic drummer from Mottley Crue. He may be
more iconically known for a home video he made with
(06:27):
Pamela Anderson. I'm not going to get into it, but
they had pect he certainly did.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Drove up boat with it Hong Kong.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
So they had their fine finances exposed in court documents
related to this whole legal battle that she has with
that other musician.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Ronnie Radkey.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
But according to the filing, Brittany says she earns forty
five thousand dollars a month, working roughly eighty hours a week,
with a big chunk coming from OnlyFans. I did not
know she was on OnlyFans, but screenshots included the documents
more than fifty four thousand dollars in March and over
six five thousand dollars in April on the platform, which
(07:03):
is pretty crazy. Most of that money came from private
messages on the app, so I don't know if she's.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Talking or doing specific things.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Also listed major monthly expenses, including a thirty nine thousand
dollars mortgage she shares with Tommy Lee, along with thousands
spent on dining out, groceries and healthcare and clothing, So
I don't That's not the highlight for me though. She
makes a lot of money on OnlyFans, And I'm going
to excuse myself now to download the app and make
an account. If you want to download our app, it's free,
the iHeartRadio app. Just search the French one demand to
(07:33):
catch up on anything you missed.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's like, wats your name? Shannon Elizabeth the woman from
American Pie who claims that she made a million dollars
the first week on her only Fans But she's not.
There's nothing like she's not doing anything, Like why are
you paying a million buck? People paid a million bucks
hoping for something else.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, yeah, because the whole thing is she was that
hot exchange exactly, and.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I only made that mistake once. Okay, I subscribed and
then when I saw that it was wholesome material, I
canceled them mediately. I'm sorry, but you got a little
bit of my dough towards that million. The Fread Show

Fred's Fun Learn so much.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I'm not sure if you sent me this, Kaliner, or
who sent it to me. But dogs will stay awake
late at night thinking about their problems just like humans do.
According to research, we all do it. You don't believe this.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm just trying to figure out. I'm just thinking about
my dog, Like, what problem? Couldn't that man? That man
is a beautiful life.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Okay, that's true. Food is provided right, clothing res you're right,
you're right, No expectation of going to school or anything. Nothing. What? No?
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I agree? Like I cook for my dog, right right?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
So what are your stressed about?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I wait, his butt, I give him like he's fine.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
A study suggests that dogs sleep is influenced by what
they experienced during the day. Research has tracked how dogs
rest after both positive and stressful situations. The study was
published in Royal Society Open Science. The finding highlight how
closely dog's emotional states are tied to their physical well being,
showing that their experiences don't just affect behavior they carry
(09:16):
into I guess their rest as well. You're right, what
what is your How is your life so hard?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
And that's why you snore?

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
