Yeahs the deal two fifty is yours? So far? Waiting
by the phone this morning? Why did somebody get ghosted?
And more stuff? What is the you're doing? The fat
seventy five? What is it? The hard seventy five?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Oh god, seventy five hard?

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Well, there's different versions, right, there's a soft medium and hard.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
I discovered this yesterday. Wait what yesterday? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Why why would I do seventy five to get soft?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I would do seventy five to get hard, I guess,
but I wouldn't do seventy five to get me I
already am yeah, same, I am soft medium, So I'm
not trying to get soft. Seventy five soft. He's going
to coverts every day or something like her, you know
wherever eating MC nuggets every day. That's the seventy five
soft exactly. And I didn't know that because I got
the app.

Speaker 5 (02:07):
So I guess you could you like I said hard
or soft, but I guess just means, like, how intense
do you want.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
This to be?

Speaker 1 (02:12):
So like I think it was like the outcome of
your body. No, no, I mean it's seventy five hard
means it the hard you would be like ripped.

Speaker 7 (02:22):
It's like you're going hard, you're heart Why would I
want to go solid?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Like, no one's asking me to go soft.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's hard to do this whole thing, but.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
It's hard to lose weight. It's hard to be.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
This includes reading, this includes.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
How you eat.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
Okay, So I thought to be a lot more intense
because like I got an app for this whole thing,
because I'm like, I have to make sure I see
it visually. It doesn't seem that bad. But I know
once I start doing it, I'm gonna to work. What's
what explained to me? What are you supposed to do today?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Day one of seventy five hard is hard hard, really hard,
non soft or medium medium.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
So I had it worked out, and I think they
could be like high intensity whatever.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
It could be anything that I want it to be.
So like I can go to pilates or righty flawed.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You get to pick the workout.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It doesn't say what to do.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
Unless it doesn't. I just skip that part. But there's
the outdoor workout. So even if it's raining or snowing,
they want you outside.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
One of your two has to be outside.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
You have to work out twice today. Yeah, yeah, and
one time outside.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
It don't sound terrible books they walk every day, right,
that could be my outdoor thing.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
See, but that's what I mean. It's like I'm going
to work out today and I'm going to get my
butt kicked. Yes, so that's a workout, I guess. But
then you could by definition, I suppose according to this,
you could just go walk around the block and that's
to work out.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Well, forty five minutes I gotta walk, So for forty
five minutes, I'm gonna circle the block.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Okay, But that's different than doing forty five minutes of
hit workout.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
Correct, So I'm assuming this is both They want you
to do both ways.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Okay, all right, so that what else do you have
to do for this? For the hard seventy five.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I have to drink a lot of water. I have
to drink twelve ounces.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It doesn't seem like a lot.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
That's a whole bounces, not a lot of water. This
is this is easy seventy five. So for twelve hours,
I'm a liar.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I'm a liar to one hundred and twenty eight ounces. Yeah,
she's under and twenty pounces.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That a lot of that's a lot of water. All right, Okay,
it's getting harder now.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
It is no junk food, no sugary drinks. That's hard.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
But I mean for a day, I can definitely do it.
Maybe we do it for seventy five. That's what I'm saying. Hey, three,
it might get hard. Read ten pages non fiction, so like,
I know, you.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Make a documentary or whatever.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
You've got to let them theory book. I'll be reading.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
We can get into that. I've read a quarter of it.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm a mel Robin's girl. Okay, let's it's that.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I have the same feeling about a lot of self
help books. So this is a self help.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
It is, it is.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
I've read a lot of them.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I gotta read ten.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
So nonfiction would be like anything that's not fic fiction.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Yeah, nonfiction would be anything that's nonfiction correct.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Use fiction is the fake story. It's like the romance. Okay,
love it? Right to learn something?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Got it?

Speaker 5 (04:48):
No alcohol and cheat meals. That's fine today, Today's Tuesday.
No alcohol in my kitchen today. I don't do happy
hour on Tuesdays. And then progress pictures, Oh no, I
don't like I feel so uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
The only good thing about the pictures I wish I
had taken them a year and a half ago or
two years ago, because then, at least, I guess I
would I would feel like I I can see what
I've done. True, But at the time I didn't want
to take them because I was obviously not feeling great
about myself. So I didn't want to take the pictures.
But now I wish I had them because they're you know, well,
thank you. But I don't know about that. But in

(05:20):
the course of the journey, you begin to feel like
you're not you plateau like I feel like I've plateaued
for a long time in my little workout health fitness
journey because I lost a bunch of weight in the
beginning and then I haven't lost much since. Now I
ate a pizza last night, so that that may have
something to do with it. But nonetheless, it's like, you know,
so I'm getting to a point where I think it's
going to be hard. It's to be that much harder

(05:40):
to lose that much more weight, I would have to
rake serious adjustments. I lost like thirty some pounds, and
then I didn't. I've lost very little sense then, so
now I would have to like start eating you know,
celery sticks or actual sticks.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, the diaparts.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
And that's that's if I want to like go another
twenty and I don't know if i'd.

Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, so like you're going intense, Like I mean, you
work out what twice a week, three times a week,
three times a week.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Well that's impressive.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
But yeah so this, well twice we geton and then
two other ties of four Oh oh.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Good job, good job. Yeah, this is for seventy five days,
no drinking. You have to read every day, you have
to work out twice a day, you have to eat
super clean. So it's you know, it's it's harder because
it's like it affects every aspect of your life.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
But I will say, one thing feeds the other. So
like if you really start doing this, like okay, commit
to one of the steps of the fitness part, not
the reading. Well, the reading maybe, but like if you say, okay,
I'm going to work out three times a week, all right, Well,
then I worked out three times this week. So then
you start looking at food differently because it's like, well,
I don't want to eat that because I worked out

(06:43):
three times this week, so that was a lot. And
now if I eat that, that kind of negates one
of them. So okay, maybe I'll eat a little bit differently.
And then and then you start to go, oh, I'm
working out today, so I can't eat that. And then
before long, it kind of like it becomes a little
bit of well it's torture, but I don't know. It
sort of feeds. Each step kind of feeds the other.

(07:04):
And then you know, I'm gonna work out today, I
gotta drink a lot of water otherwise it's gonna be bad,
so thing you drink. So I guess it's like it
begins to kind of work in tandem with each thing
works in tandem with each other.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Yeah, or like just developing those habits, like right now,
I have terrible habits, Like they're horrible. I don't get
enough sleep, I don't drink enough water. For sure, I
don't exercise at all, you know. So to go from
nothing to hard seventy five hard, I think will be
really difficult. But I'm also doing it for the mental challenge,
and I'm trying to challenge myself in different ways of
like I know I'm stronger than this, right I birth

(07:35):
the whole child, Like I know that my body is strong.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I can do these things, but I am scared. I'm scared.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh, you totally can. The water. I don't know why
the water is so hard. It doesn't taste like anything.
That's why it's not rewarding to me. Like I'm just
drinking this stuff and it's it's like, I don't know.
I know, I would rather drink a lot of other things.
The alcohol, though I've decided I could. I could probably
never drink again. Yeah, in your whole life, easily, I could. Probably.
I wouldn't say yes easily easily because I've gotten to

(08:04):
the point where I would rather have, Like I would
rather have a full fat coke in a can for
two hundred and forty calories or whatever it is, and
then a beer. That is true because I'm not, nor
have I ever really been drinking for to get drunk. Now,
I'm not saying I don't, because I certainly do. But
I find that the times now that i'm or anytime
really that I've been quote unquote drunk, it's social. It's

(08:27):
because everybody else we're sitting around drinking, and it's like
that's the activity. So then but then you know, if
you remove that, I don't drink it because I go
home after work at eleven am and I'm like, oh,
I'm stressed out. I better have a glass of wine
or I don't know. I mean, I know some people do.
But and when I was in a relationship, I drank
a lot more because it was like bottle of wine.
You know, five six o'clock, open the bottle of wine.

(08:49):
Everybody has two glasses, everybody being you know, the other
person that I was in a relationship with. It wasn't
an orgy all the time, but it wasn't all there.
It wasn't all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I wasn't in the hotel.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
Yeah, yeah, I wasn't on Sister Wives or whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
Everybody, come get your portion of wine, right?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
But I like it. I mean I like it martini
with I like it wine with dinner.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
Like.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
I guess that. But as far as like drinking to drink,
I could easily easily just never do it again.

Speaker 5 (09:16):
I guess kind of same. I'm more of a social
drinker for sure. If we're out whatever, I'll have a drink.
But I don't know, I feel like now that I'm
cutting it out, I'm gonna walk your thirsty Happy hour
will be open tomorrow and I'll be doing seventy five
hard like you know.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Well, it could become medium to soft quickly if you
you know, I think that's a drink.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I should start with the soft one.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
But then I'm like, no, no, no, hi, right, isn't
an app or a website or how did you get
this all this information thing?

Speaker 2 (09:43):
I just it's a thing you're just looking at.

Speaker 5 (09:46):
I got an app, Like I went to the app
store and I was like, oh, was there an app
that could help.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Me stay on track? Because I don't even know what
it consisted of.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
It started turning on social about a year ago, I
would say, And then I wonder if the app came
second to Hi track it because people on.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
The text were asking if, like, how you were getting
this information?

Speaker 5 (10:01):
Yeah, well Google search will definitely get you there. But
I use this app, can I say it?

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Donort know? It's just called or whatever. We're not getting paid.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
No, I'm not paid for this seventy five days like
everything else. They should pay me them.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Okay, well maybe they will. Maybe maybe you should. Maybe
you should do a few weeks of seventy five hard
and then let them know I should and showed them
before and after and be like, and you know what,
I'll keep talking about this. That's for a fee, right, And.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'm proud of you because most people do this at
the beginning of the year. But you're doing this.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
You're kind of living on the edge because the weather
might get nice, might start to smell like day drinking outside.

Speaker 9 (10:31):
You know.

Speaker 5 (10:31):
Well, I did put my summer shorts on the other
day just to shist it out as opposed.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
To your winter short.

Speaker 8 (10:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
No, the winter shorts are actually pants, so and.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
They sized very oversized, but the summer ones were not.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
And oh boys, and I have a meltout with my daughter.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
I will tell the experience with my with a fair shorts,
I was like, okay with your summer shorts.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
In the summer shorts, you know, I was like, Oh,
these aren't.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Gonna button, so we gotta do something hard or softer
medium a long summer.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
I don't say what you should do. Why don't you
come by the rib later and uh and hang out
with my friend body by Gideon?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Oh no, yeah, I'm no.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Why don't you come by and I'll want you to
do body by Gideon. Well maybe he'll let you just
like stand in the corner and you can pretend like
you're actually doing your own workout, but really you're doing
the same thing that I have had. I think that's
happening in my gym, by the way. If I go
in there and there are other people, they're looking at
what we're doing, and I have no idea that probably
once we leave they go do the same thing on

(11:28):
my time I would do. But the other thing is
I think he's making it up a lot of the time.
I think Gideon makes it up. I mean, he's brilliant,
but I think my trainer makes it up just like
let's case, and he probably doesn't. He probably walks in
with a full idea what we're going to do. He
probably does, but he makes it look like it's just
totally freestyling it, like this weight over here will work.

(11:48):
I'm like, well that's the heaviest weight. He's like, yeah,
I know, you know. But I'm sure he's also like
curtailing it or changing it to however i'm doing, you know,
because he may come in with a plan and then say, well,
this guy's got a lot of energy today and then
work me harder. Or he may come in with the
plan and then I walk in there and I'm like, yo,
not today, not today, giddy, you know, or whatever, and

(12:10):
then he like he tames it down a little bitter.
I'm sure he's adjusting. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
I think they make it up. I've always said that.
When I was training with Ozzie. I'm like, you're just
you're just saying things now, like you're completely.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Making this up. He walks out the room, he walks
back and he's telling me to I'm like, you're.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Making it up? Is there no plan? Because I'll be like,
is this it? After this, I'll be like I don't know,
Like he won't tell me when it's over either, because
what I'm doing in my head is if I'm like,
how many more do I have to do? Because then
in my head I'm adjusting like, Okay, I can do this,
But if he doesn't tell me when the end is,
then I don't know if I can and he does
it on purpose, he won't tell me. Yeah, I mean,

(12:44):
are we running at the end, and be like, I
don't know because in my mind I'm pacing myself, But
he doesn't want me to do that. He don't want
me to pace myself. He wants me just to go
until I tell him, until he tells me to stop.
I don't know. I think he's making it up. They
make it up. Yeah, you go over there and push
on that thing for a while, and I'll be over here.
But I don't look at the man. If you look

(13:04):
at my trainer, then I just trust what he says
because look at him. I also never see I've never
seen the man eat, and I've never seen a man
drink water under anything ever, So I don't know. I
think he's superhuman. I think he goes home and plugs
himself into the USB and then you know, or gets
programmed or whatever.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Yeah, recharge gets.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Shut up to space the space station for Elon Musk,
and he comes back down in time for these I
don't know. I've never seen him eat, and I've never
seen him take any sort of like goo. You know
how the fitness people take goo. I've never seen him
goo anything. I've never seen him eat or drink water ever. Ever.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Did me have a big steak after one of his runs?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Probably, but I've never seen like a lot of these
fitness folks, they carry around like a gallon of water
with him. He doesn't do that interesting. But then he'll
go run five marathons and I'm going, well, how do
you do this?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
No water?

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm gonna find out that he has something installed in
him that I could have had, and he just didn't
tell me about it. He's gate keeping the secret. They
can put something like that. There's an app for that,
like they can put something inside of him, And I
don't know. There's something going on Shenanigans. Why were we
supposed to play two Sabrina Carpenter songs in a row.
That's not happening. You're scheduling the music me, is anyone

(14:13):
paying attention? We're not gonna do it. We're not oh man,
We're not gonna taste the espresso back to back. We're
just not. I'm just I just saw that right now,
and I'm like, is anyone paying attention around here? Answers? Now?
The biggest stories of the day headlines after Gracie Abrams
not Sabrina Carpenter. In two minutes, The Fresh Show is
on CBS. The biggest stories of the day Florida, the Gators, Jason,

(14:38):
they beat the Houston Horses. Yep, that's exactly right, the
Houston Horses. The Florida Gators beat the Houston Cougars in
an NCAA title game thriller, which was topped by some
defense at the very end. So it was very exciting.
Sixty five to sixty three. Florida is the NCAA men's

(14:58):
basketball national champion, So congratulations to them. Have you been
paying attention to this Karen Reid trial. No, there's a
whole documentary about him. I can't remember where the documentary
is Hulu or I think it's on Hulu. Essentially, this
woman is accused of killing her boyfriend who was a
cop in the Massachusetts I think I said of Boston maybe,

(15:20):
and she says she's being framed and of course the
prosecution is saying that she ran this guy over while
drinking in the middle of the night, in the middle
of the winter, and there's a lot of talk about
this thing. A lot of people think that she's innocent.
And if you watch the documentary, I mean, my mom
and I said and wanted the whole thing a couple
of weeks ago, and I was like, I don't know,

(15:42):
maybe she did, maybe she didn't. It's not cut and dry,
but there's some definitely some shady stuff going on with this.
But it was a hung jury the first time around.
And so now is the sixth day of jury selection
in the second Massachusetts trial of Karen Reid. Tenders have
been seated for the retrial of reedcues of killing her
Boston police officer boyfriend John O'Keeffe by hitting him with

(16:03):
her SUV in twenty twenty two. At least sixteen jurors
who needed before the trial can begin, But things told yesterday,
with no jurors were selected, it's going to be hard,
I think for people around them to find jurors around
there who don't know anything about this case because it's
been so widely talked about. I mean it's all over TikTok.
Of course the documentary. I'm sure there's been a dateline
about it, or forty eight hours or whatever else. But

(16:27):
Reid claims that she left O'Keefe at the house where
he was found dead, and she is being framed for
the actual murder by the actual killers. The judge declared
to mistrout last year when the jury found that they
couldn't reach a unanimous verdict. So we'll see what happens
with that. But I watched the documentary. I think it's Hulu.
See what you think, Freedo Lay, This is for you,

(16:47):
Pauline him. You know, I like to try and cater
the stories to the people in a room who need
the information. I might realize there are tents of people
listening at home, but no, I do it for you.
Fredo Lay recalls the Cantina tostitos because of contamination. These
are the corn tortilla chips. The tostitos cantina traditional yellow
corn tortilla chips rolls off the tongue. They might contain

(17:09):
nacho cheese made with real milk and can cause issues
to people that are allergic or have sensitivities to milk.
The recall only affects thirteen ounce bags, and we're available
for purchase. As of March seventh. The chips were sold
in grocery, drug and convenience stories in thirteen states. So there,
I need to.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Go to my best friend's house right now because he
can't have that.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
He can't have milk.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
You better see if he'd got the Tostito's cantina traditional
yellow corn tortilla.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Chips, the only one he eats. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Those are one? He's a cantina guy.

Speaker 10 (17:36):
He is.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
He eates pretzels and tortilla chips all he can have.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Okay, well you better call him up. You better call
him up and say, gen z? Is this, according to
The New York Post, is being labeled as the ghosted generation?
So gen Z is defined as what I always get
these messed up. I'm technically somewhere between millennial and I'm
right on the cusp of millennial and gen X is it? No?
Ninety seven to twenty twelve? Gen z? But what am I?

(18:01):
What am I again? Millennial? You're a barely millennial? Or
but what's before that? What's older than that? Why? X?

Speaker 6 (18:09):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:10):
No?

Speaker 7 (18:11):
So yeah, So gen Z starts at ninety seven, Millennials
are eighty one to ninety six.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
And then what's right before that that was born at
the end of eighty Yeah, right, So I'm somewhere between
act millennial. Okay, So gen Z is becoming the ghosted
generation or is According to a new article from Business Insider,
young adults today are facing more knows than any generation
before them, from dating apps to college applications to the

(18:37):
brutal job market. Is that true though? I mean maybe
dating apps, because you know you're there's much a much
higher percentage of folks that you're looking at and that
could potentially not swipe right on you, which I don't
necessarily see as a no. That doesn't seem like I mean,
it's not if someone doesn't match with me, it's not
necessarily rejection. I don't if I don't know them. Maybe

(18:58):
if I know them, i'd feel rejected, But I don't know.
How is that any different than when I used to
have to go out back in the day, like in
high school, walk up to the girl in high school
and talk to her because I couldn't text her because
we didn't have that. I don't know, But and why
are there more nos in the job market now than
there were when we were younger. I mean, I mean,
how many no's have I gotten in this business? I
get them every day still to this day. Same. But

(19:21):
there's an author who said, it's not about entitlement, it's
about gen z growing up in a world where yes,
seems more out of reach than ever despite having more
access to opportunities. Think endless dating options at your fingertips,
get higher rates of loneliness, or sending out hundreds of
job applications with nothing but radio silence in return? Is
that a new thing? Though? I don't know. I'm am

(19:41):
asking an honest question. I'm not picking on anybody, but
are there really more nos now in the job market
than there ever have been? I mean, I.

Speaker 6 (19:49):
Feel like because the way we get jobs now is different.
So now you can mass you know, fine on inded
a thousand job opportunities and apply for all of them.
Back in the day, you had to know somebody or
have an internship, sure that you shot your shot at
like one job and works your way to get it.
Now they could shoot their shot at a million jobs. Yeah,
but it's old.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
No, Kiki, if I send a thousand mass job, but
you know, resumes out one's you know, generic application to
a thousand places. And I know that's probably an exaggeration,
but let's say I do and and nine and ninety nine.
Tell me, no, I don't see that as a rejection
because I didn't really invest myself in any of that.

Speaker 6 (20:24):
Right, because you're you're fishing, You're normal, right, So they live, right,
they're delusional and they think that they deserve all one
thousand jobs that they applied for, Like I applied to
be a doctor yesterday.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
You know what I'm saying, Like that, I.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Dont think you could do it. I mean, you're a judge, right,
you know.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
It's that type of delusion that they have that our
generation and the ones before us we didn't have. We
lived in like a different reality because we were humbled
every day.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I mean, that might make it. I can see why
it might be harder to get a job because everyone's
doing that. So it may be harder for people to
if I'm a hiring manager and people are applying for
the job and they don't even know what they applied
for because it's right because they just applied, Because then
it might be harder for me to stand out than
it was before, because like when I was applying for

(21:07):
radio jobs, I'm not even that old, but I mean
this was, you know, early two thousands. When I'm first
applying for radio jobs. The way you had to do
it was you had to make a CD, right, and
you had to type out a resume and a CD
and then you had to figure out a way to
make that stand out. But you still had to put
it in a fed X envelope and send it to
a radio station. And then when I finally got said jobs,

(21:29):
then I was the guy receiving those things. And I
can remember there would be bins of these applications, but
there would be maybe thirty, and I thought that was
a lot.

Speaker 8 (21:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
We'd have like these bins of envelopes of people who
wanted jobs we didn't have, and I would try because
I remember applying for them and no one writing me back.
I can remember, but I knew they got it because
it was FedEx so you could put little receipt on it.
But I remember trying to go through them all and
at least call them back. I had no ability to
hire them, I had no juice, but I just remember

(21:58):
what it was like to send the envelope and get
nothing back. I can remember I remember this guy. There
was a guy in Louisville, Kentucky. I said, I made
a I took a bottle of Jack Daniels because it's
Kentucky whiskey, and I bless you.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
I'm sorry, I make it away from the I know.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
You're not allergic to that because that's one of your favorites.
And I made a custom label for the front of
the Jack Daniels bottle with my face on it, my
name and the whole thing. And I put it on
there and I sent it to him and he never
wrote me back. And I saw him at a conference
like three years ago, because he's still in the business,
and I go, do you remember when I did that?
He goes, yeah, thanks for the whiskey. And I was like,

(22:35):
you couldn't have answered, I go, I go to anyone
else do anything like that? He was like no. I'm like,
couldn't you have at least called me and said I
don't have a job for you. But that was really creative.
You know, it's funny you don't forget these things. But
I guess what I'm saying is if you're if you're
if you're swiping on one hundred people on a dating
app and nobody matches with you. I don't necessarily think
that's rejection because I don't there's no investment. Yeah, you know,

(22:59):
if I make it. If I go ten rounds in
an interview and don't get the job, that's rejection. They
decided they didn't want you. Now, that sucks, but that's
nothing new, right, that's when happening forever.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Well, I think now too.

Speaker 5 (23:11):
I listen to a whole podcast episode yesterday about it
was really interesting, and I think what's going on to
is AI. I think is going through those applications and
automatically just disqualifying a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
So I think, well, that's the only way, right, because
how can they possibly if everybody on Earth who's looking
for a job is just mass applying for jobs correct,
then how do they know which you recommended?

Speaker 5 (23:30):
They're like, don't mass apply, like make this personal, like actually,
like do it the correct way. But people are not
gen z I'm talking to you, So then you know,
AI is just kind of like throwing them out basically
in the trash and it sucks. But also too, I
see on TikTok a lot of gen z say that
it's hard to get a job, and I don't know
how true this is, but somebody said that even Trader
Joe's has like a list of people applying every day

(23:51):
that they can't even hire.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
So I don't know.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
I'm a job market expert, but it doesn't seem great
right now.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
No, I don't really. The market is crazy.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
I've heard and think about it, and now they have
full companies that all they do is scan through applications
for other job like for companies.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh yeah, you'll see it on TikTok all the time.
Ways to optimize your resume so AI will pick up
all right, you know and stuff. So I mean I
would agree, now you're competing with a new level of sophistication,
But I don't know that that means that you should
feel more rejected than any other generation who didn't get
a job either. I mean, because I guess every generation

(24:26):
has had challenges, right. I mean, it used to be
you couldn't even apply online. You had to physically go
to all these places and fill out individual applications and whatever,
you know, So that was a challenge. But I guess
that meant there was less competition because everybody couldn't just
push one button. But I guess college is probably the
same way. I remember I had to fill out individual
college applications for every college. Yeah, now that felt like

(24:49):
rejection because every process was different everyone. I mean, there's
some of the essays you could reuse, but a lot
of colleges wanted different subject matters, so you had to
write different essays. Then of course you had different levels
of investment. I can remember not getting into colleges I
really thought I wanted to go to and that felt
terrible because you're rejecting me. Somebody read that and looked

(25:11):
through my grade and looked through my resume and looked
through my essays and decided I wasn't good enough.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
But I'm not even get that personal. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
I mean, you never had the thought like, oh I'm
getting rejected more than like Susie down the hall, did you, Like?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
I would never think like that.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
I mean, I know they have people like designated when
you're applying to like combing through your social and that's
got to be an issue these days. But I just
I don't know how we can quantify the amount of
rejection each generation gets. I just think every other generation
never had the thought like I'm getting it worse.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Good point, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Somebody said he didn't respond because Jack's made in Tennessee
at Kentucky. I think, I don't Maybe it was like
a Tennessee job. I don't know. I don't know. That's
that's the point of last twenty dollars. The point is
I couldn't afford to do any of this, and I
don't know when I became a photoshop expert to make
the l that's the point. The point is, I guess

(26:02):
I know that nobody else did that, so at least
take one second to call me and go, your tape sucked.
But that was really that was her treated But maybe
maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's what happened. Critics say
that gen Z was never taught how to lose, was
raised in a culture where everybody is a winner, and
now in the real world the crash is hard. Okay,
I don't know. Maybe.

Speaker 4 (26:22):
I mean, my sister's getting rejected right now for internship.
She's applying and I've never heard her saying. I mean,
she's bombed, but.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
She moves on. She's like, you know, I learned something
in every interview.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
See, but you were saying she's getting to like three
rounds of interviews, and I would argue that is a rejection. Now,
I'm not saying she's not good enough, But what.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
I mean is it hurts to me.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yes, Like if I send an application and you don't
write me back, or I or I swipe right on
you simply and you don't swipe right on me, I
don't see that as a rejection. You don't know me
from anything. Now if I interviewed three times for a
job and then you say I want somebody else, Now
that I can understand that, that's reet that's them saying

(27:01):
someone else is better than you. Yeah, And I don't
think that's a terrible thing.

Speaker 4 (27:04):
And she, I will say, like she takes it better
based on she works with recruiters, so like some recruiters
are really great at telling her like why she may
not have gotten it and talking her through like this
is not about you personally, there was someone a little
more qualified, Like she like takes it better than if
someone just like ghosts her and then is like, sorry.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Someone else got the job.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
You know, because she's putting time in these interviews, but
she's never once said, like, this is worse than when
you were going through it.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
You know, maybe the GEB was in Knoxville whatever, twenty
two years ago, and I promise you I was considerate
about what I was doing. I don't know. It doesn't
I didn't. I thought it was clever. Men who I'll
finish these headlines quickly. Men who regularly use cannabis or
synthetic cannabinoids cannabinoids rare okay reports significantly lower sexual satisfaction, desire,

(27:51):
and erectile function compared to non users. Hmmm, I'm doing
all right, Thank you? Thanks are going for in that area.
I don't know if I agree with that. I feel
like if I, you know, hypothetically, if I had a
little bit of a right the sensation is actually a
little it. I don't know about that from what I've heard. Allegedly,

(28:15):
there's a phone case that flips over when it here's
the word cheers. Heineken has created what they're calling the Flipper.
It's a phone case which flips your phone face down
so you don't get distracted by socials when you're out socializing.
It uses AI trained listening tools connected to a robotic
arm to flip the phone nestled inside it when it

(28:35):
senses the word cheers, a universal sign that you're out
having in person conversation. It's a prototype for now, but
the idea, of course is that you wouldn't be distracted
by your phone, which the kiki would just flip it
back over so it wouldn't work. And A guy who
is four feet three inches tall is believed to be
the world's oldest person after he turned one hundred and
twenty five on Saturday, April fifth. This guy lives in Peru.

(29:00):
His name is Mashiko and that's what his government issued
photo says and at lists his birth year is nineteen hundred.
The old and tiny man was orphan at the age
of seven after his parents tragically died while trying to
cross the river in nineteen oh seven.

Speaker 11 (29:15):
Jesus.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
The guy worked in the fields from a young age,
unable to attend school because the closest one was too
far away. During his time working in the fields, he
reared animals and bartered farm goods. He never had a
partner or children. He lived a simple, solitary and self
sufficient life. But apparently he's one hundred and twenty five
years old. I'm all sad. My goodness, I think a

(29:36):
nice eighty five ninety would be. And at this rate,
I'm not even sure about maybe a nice if I
could live, if I could live healthfully to about eighty
and then I just dropped dead.

Speaker 6 (29:46):
Oh, don't say that. Eighties young, Yeah, still need to
get it in at eighty.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Get it in?

Speaker 11 (29:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Oh lord may is young?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I agree?

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Okay, well you know what I mean. Had one hundred
and twenty five. I think I'm proud. No, I'll set
with them. It's National Library Workers Day, National Empanada Day,
and National Zoo Lover's Day. The Entertainer Report blogs and
Stay or Go will debate some relationship drama all next
Fresh Shows. Entertainer Report is on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 4 (30:13):
Sunday's season three finale of The White Lotus was seen
by six point two million viewers in the US, and
that viewership was fifty one percent higher than the season
two finale, which was at four point one million US viewers.
And I think it's probably because, well, it happens every season,
but if you haven't seen it every season, it's the
premise is that everyone goes to the White Lotus, which

(30:35):
is a resort, so you learn about everybody who's staying
at this resort on their vacation. It's like a family,
you know, it's three best friends, it's a couple on
their honeymoon.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
So you learn all their stories and at the beginning you.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Always learn that there was a murder or murderers, and
so you watch the whole season to figure out who
was the murderer.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
How did it come happen?

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Kind of yeah, but it's like it's it's dark, but
it's dark humor. There are are light moments, but it's
always takes place at a different you know, nice destination.
One was in Italy, this last one was in Thailand,
so I think people were trying to figure out and boy,
I kind of thought who the murderer might be.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
But there was a.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Twist after it happened and that that was kind of crazy.
But highly recommend. You don't need to watch one season
without the other.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
But they usually let.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Like one character survive from the other because the thing
is is that it's like a branch of resorts, so
they the white Lotus is always existing, but like one
employee might carry through or they you know, they let
Jennifer Coolidge do two seasons, but everybody else is brand new.

Speaker 6 (31:35):
So services, what streaming services that are on just it
is on max.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
It is on max. It is on Max. So there
you go.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
But I am not I am asking a question about that,
but I am not asking a question about.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
Actually have an invention. This is crazy to have an invention.
I don't even know what I should be talking about
it publicly. But what I'm gonna I have a disinvention.
I'm taking all the streaming services and I'm putting them
on one streaming service that automatically connects your telegraph.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
No one saw of that ever, No, no, yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
No it's so. What you would be able to do
is turn your TV on and then there would be
like a listing of all.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
The different Wait, it would all be bundled.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Like all the channels and then all the shows, and
then you would just be able to just click on
it and watch it. What do you want to on
the TV? Cable?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Oh? Oh my god, you've always been so smart?

Speaker 1 (32:20):
Well, I mean, you know, break that down. These are
the kind of things that come to me. I mean,
the difference between us is I'm actually trying to make
cable happen. Yeah, and you came up with uber and
just didn't tell anybody. Avocado Toast didn't.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Tell anybody, and why not rich Sam.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
Billboard released their list of the twenty five greatest female
rappers of all time. Of course, rap as we know
it wouldn't have been possible without the pioneering role of
women mcs and.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Back when the scene was predominantly.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
Male in the seventies and eighties, women like EMC Light Rock,
San Chante, Salt and Peppa and Queen Latifa emerge MC
light Jason, you were asking who she was the first
ever female MC to release a solo studio album, so
she's pretty important. And then there's Missy Elliott, who's innate
creativity not only made music videos like a damn Near movie,
but she had her own unique.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Sound and style. She was just such an innovator.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
So I will do the top ten backwards for you,
starting with ten, Foxy Brown, Eve, Roxanne, Chante, Sultan, Pepa,
EMC Light at six, Queen Latifah at five, Lil Kim,
Lauren Hill, Missy Elliott, and Miss Nicki Minaj at number one, and.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
Then elsewhere in the list.

Speaker 4 (33:32):
I thought, I mean, Dochi's on the list, which you know,
she's a great rapper.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
We just kind of met her.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Nato Remy Ma Doja Cat, Megnae Stallion left Eye, who
I absolutely love. So those are some who made the
top twenty five. De Brett, Cardi b you know all
those ladies. So congrats to Nicki Minaj. And days after
she was asked to sign divorce papers, Kelsey Ballerini helped
an expecting fan announce her pregnancy to her friends and

(33:59):
family by filming a really sweet video mid show. So
in this clip from kelsey Saturday show in Tulsa, the
country star holds the fans phone up in a selfie
mode while on stage and says into the mike, Hello,
my name is Kelsey Ballerina. I'm here to tell you
that Maddie is pregnant. She's due in November. Maddie also
shared a video of how the moment came to be,
and basically in between songs, Kelsey was interacting with fans

(34:20):
and spotted Maddie sign which read can you help me
announce my pregnancy?

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Caught her eye and she said, yes, we love Kelsey
in this house. By the way, if you.

So there's been a horrible mistake that has happened, and
it's all over a miscommunication. So I am very into
do you take magnesium?

Speaker 11 (39:34):
Fred?

Speaker 1 (39:35):
No?

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Okay, Like I feel like you hit a certain age
and people push magnesium on you.

Speaker 2 (39:40):
I found a brand that actually works.

Speaker 4 (39:41):
I love my magnesium, but I am kind of a
hot mess just in general, you know, Like I used
to keep things in my bra I keep things all
over the apartment whatever. And I kind of have something
that I call my little pill jar. It's a mason
jar where I put everything in there. Okay, take them
out of the bottle and put them all in the
mason jar. And I do this because like we don't

(40:04):
have a ton of space in our bathroom, like underneath
we just have like one little cupboard thing, not a
lot of space. I'm a girl, I have a lot
of stuff. So I thought that this was helping our
issue with space. So recently I have been giving my
boyfriend magnesium if he ever feels like off or like
he has anxiety or whatever, and it's been helping him.
But I've always been the one to get the magnesium. Well,

(40:27):
recently I found out that he's been going into the
little pill jar and taking what he thinks is magnesium, okay,
white pills, just reaching in there.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
I did not know he was going into the little
pill jar.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
I also, in the little pill jar have some suppositories,
oh good vaginal suppositories, and they are boric acid, which
very much is not meant to be ingested orally.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
And the other day I my boyfriends where the magnesium.

Speaker 4 (41:00):
I'm like, in here, I grab them the thing and
I see what he grabs and I go, hold up,
one of those is not for your mouth. You need
to put that back in the pill gender right. So
he's like, oh my bad and grab another pill. Then
a couple of days later he goes, Kaylin, I go yeah,
He goes, I was too embarrassed to say this the
other day, but I have been reaching in there and

(41:21):
I have been taking some of those orally, and so
he has been taking well boric acid, vagina pills orally
by mistake.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Why are people taking anything they don't know what they're taking?
One he asked, questions before you put things in your mouth?

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Now, him and g I know.

Speaker 4 (41:43):
Now him and Gason blame me because they think it's
my fault because I combine all my pills in my Mason.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Jar of pills.

Speaker 7 (41:50):
He puts multiple different types of WoT I would raise
the different.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
I mean, I see both sides, because like what going
in there and taking things he doesn't know where they are.
But why are you putting things that aren't intended to
be put in your mouth in the mouth jar? Well,
like there should be a mouth jar.

Speaker 7 (42:08):
And there should be multiple things you should put in
your mouth in one jar.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
Well, sure, I mean, but then at least they at
least they go in your mouth.

Speaker 4 (42:15):
They're different shapes, they are different colors, Like I can
tell the.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Difference, but the things that go into other areas might
they might not need to be in that same area.
But at the same time, it's not his jar.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
It's not your Mason jar.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
Right, so maybe find your own Mason jar or get
on the Amazon and get yourself some magnesium that comes
in a magnesium thing that goes in your mouth. And
it's you know, for all humans, not just women.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
And you have.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Stomach problems and like we've been trying to get to
the bottom of them.

Speaker 2 (42:41):
And I bet I know why I think that I can.
I know it's not helping you.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
But least at least everything's nice and balance in there,
So that's good, right, right?

Speaker 4 (42:49):
Your pH is it slaps, but my god, I felt
so bad. But also like he's mad at me and
it's my pill jar, and I can tell the difference.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
I don't I got nothing, I got I got an Oh,
I'm just kidding. I can't stop thinking about it.

Speaker 7 (43:08):
I'd like to stop thinking of the jars and dump
them all into one jar like that. It's like it's
like pill cereal, Like that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
But I know they are all different shapes and colors
and sizes.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
I take multiple pills too, But if I threw them
all in the jar, I don't think I would know this.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Way, But I don't do that. I keep them in
their original what's wrong with the original package?

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Well, because we don't have a lot of space. But
I think I was trying to listen. No good deed,
No good deed.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yeah, I like to keep things in their original packaging,
so I'm real clear on what they are. When I.

Speaker 4 (43:40):
Say that, you can't tell a brown circular pill and
a long, white opaque pill and a see through pill,
I don't.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
Remember which one is which, especially if I mine are white,
they're not alway.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
I also the same way that I don't go through
in women's purses under any circumstances. I don't go through
women's bathroom stuff. Like you got your bathroom stuff. I
got my bathroom stuff. If I need something from you,
I'll ask you. You can go get it and deliver
it to me vice versa. Yeah, it's my private area,
that's your private area, and I don't I don't need
to be going through your stuff. I don't need to
be accidentally taking something that's meant for there and put

(44:12):
it in my mouth. So there's that. Get right, okay,
Stread show is on. It's stay or go Okay, Shannon,
Good morning, Sannin, Hi, good morning. So what's going on
with this this boyfriend of yours?

Speaker 9 (44:32):
Okay, So we've been dating for fifteen years and.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
I know that sounds like a lot.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
That's a minute.

Speaker 9 (44:39):
We started at eighteen, so it's like, you know, those
younger years do they really count? But yes they do
in girl years, yes they count. I want to get married, right,
like I want to have a family. I'm thirty three,
Like you know, this is like geriatric pregnancy kind of like,
you know, we got to get the ball rolling here.
But my boyfriend just says that he's not ready.

Speaker 1 (45:01):
After fifteen years, he's not ready? Yeah, are you using
big tim?

Speaker 9 (45:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
I don't think so like it.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
I think that's Kiky's boyfriend. But it's been about half
the time, right, eight years? Yes, seven seven? Yeah, fifteen
years and this guy hasn't pulled the trigger. And you
want to have kids, and the whole geriatric pregnancy thing
is laughable to me, but I know that's what they
call it. My sister her first pregnancy was I think,
like pre geriatric, and then the second one was full

(45:33):
on geriatric.

Speaker 9 (45:36):
By definition, if you're thirty five or older, they consider
it cheeriaster or like I guess they like want to
use like this advanced and maternal age thing, but you
know what they're saying.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Yeah, So okay, hmm. It's funny because Kylein and I
we're having this conversation all of us actually off the
air yesterday about getting married, and like I had a
woman at the event on Friday say to me, you know,
somebody will marry you kind of thing, and I was like, well,
you're assuming I want to be married. Everyone's assuming that
I want to be married, and I'm desperately trying to

(46:07):
be in a relationship and I am not. I mean,
if I met somebody who was you know, and the
synergy was there, then I would do it. But otherwise
I'm good. But as far as getting married, then I
asked this person and it's always my follow up question,
So you're happily married? Oh no, I'm divorced. Well then
why tell are you telling me to get married? Oh,
I'd never do it again? Well, then why are you?

(46:27):
Why are you encouraging it for others so that we
can all be tortured the way that you've been tortured.
So I might say to you after fifteen years, if
you're happy and things are functioning and going well, then okay.
I mean, if you want that, then you should. You
deserve to have that and you should find that. But
maybe everything is just okay the way it is. Now.
You add to this the fact that you want to
have kids. Maybe it's important for you to be married

(46:50):
when you have kids, or you know, that's that's important
value for you, not for everybody, but for you. Well,
then those things need to have You know, you need
to get married, and then you need to think about
starting a family, and you probably want to think about
that sooner than later. So I get it. But how
do you make a person who in fifteen years hasn't

(47:11):
knows these things about you, knows that you want to
be married, knows that you have kids. How do you
get them after fifteen years to just convert into somebody
who believes in this. I'm not sure that you do
and the problem is if you were to say to him,
you better. We've talked about this before too, like, hey,
I spent fifteen years. I've giving you plenty of time.
I want to be married and have kids. So we're
doing both of those things and we have to do

(47:31):
them in the next thirty six months otherwise it's unhealthy.
Potentially you may get what you want, but there's two things.
One it may be under duress, which means a guy
didn't want to do it anyway. And two, even if
he does do it, and even if he did want
to do it, you had to tell him that. You
essentially are going to wonder did I always make him

(47:53):
do this? And I don't think either one of those
things are very good. So my gut tells me, Shannon,
you might need to think about moving on.

Speaker 9 (48:02):
Yeah, I know, but he says he wants to get married,
you know, like, well, he just wants to propose on
his own time.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
But I'm like, is your watch broken, buddy, Like.

Speaker 6 (48:11):
Come on, fifteen years he not ready? What's his reason
for not being ready?

Speaker 3 (48:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (48:16):
He just says he wants to do it on his
own time, and you know, it's like, oh, work, oh this,
I'm like, there's always going to be stuff, right, Like
I am apprized and I want to be the priority.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
Oh well, Anger, you gotta go yeah, because I don't.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
I don't think you can go to him if you
want to be married after fifteen years. I think the
only way this works is if you go to him
and say, look, I want to be married like now
and then and then you have to I mean it's
almost like you have to put a deadline on it,
because again, fifteen years is a life, it's half a lifetime.
I mean, it's a long time. And I don't know

(48:49):
how you get a person because if you don't say
anything and then status quo, you know, then it. I mean, Jason,
you're kind of in this in this bottle. I'm almost there. Yeah, one,
you're shy and then which I mean, what like what
do you do?

Speaker 6 (49:02):
Right?

Speaker 1 (49:02):
You go to Mike the mechanic and go like, hey, man,
you know, hey, I want to be married, and he goes, okay,
but I don't want to be and then the end
of conversation unless there's a second part, which is okay.
But I mean, really like, I need this in my life.
I want this in my life and it needs to
happen soon. And then what if the person says no,

(49:23):
Then if you say okay, then you've acquiesced and you've
you've played your card. The card has been played and
you now have no leverage. So the answer is there.
It is So if that is so important to you
and this person's not seeing the same value in that,
then you that might that might be a fundamental disconnection.

(49:44):
You may have to move on.

Speaker 4 (49:45):
Would you be open to having kids outside like without
being married?

Speaker 2 (49:49):
Like, is that something either of you are open to.

Speaker 9 (49:52):
I'm not open to that. I want to be married,
like I want the whole thing.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
Okay, Oh gosh, it's so hard, Like you have someone
that treats you well and that you and it's like yeah,
fifteen years right, Yeah, it's a lot of time invested.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
And it goes back to, like you said, the value.
So like I on my podcast, lol, but like I
had a relationship expert come on and talk about the situation,
because I think a lot of times it's you know,
you don't want to give some of the ultimatum. You
don't want to force somebody to do something they.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Don't want to, right, right.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
However, I think it goes back to, quite literally, the
like what do you value in your relationship?

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Right?

Speaker 5 (50:24):
And that's what this expert was telling me, and she said,
you know, is it marriage? Like is it you know,
sex and your like marriage or relationship? Like what are
your values? And unfortunately the hard part with this is
if you go to him and ask him that, you
have to be prepared for the answer.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
And then also it's kind of like, well, what are
you gonna do with that answer?

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Right?

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Are you staying or are you going?

Speaker 5 (50:41):
And that's what's fine, We're here, there or go, But
quite literally, you know, what are you going to do
with that information?

Speaker 4 (50:46):
Because you can't get all the values I'm sure I
don't think so from one person?

Speaker 5 (50:49):
Probably not right, Like if I value let's just say
like the top three things you know, does my husband
value those?

Speaker 10 (50:55):
No?

Speaker 2 (50:55):
But I guess like what's priority? Like she wants to
be married, this is what she wants?

Speaker 1 (50:59):
Well, let me ask you, and just to be clear,
did you switch? Did you did you flip the script
at any point? Like I mean, I'm as curious. I
don't know the answer, of course, but like for the
first I don't know ten years where you like, ah,
this is fine or for the first I mean, you
have every right to do that, But I mean, like,
did you just recently say because like, for example, I
know a married couple. They're married, they decided they just

(51:20):
from the beginning, if we get married, I do not
want to have kids one persons and the person's like,
that's fine. And the person is like, I don't want
to marry you and have this come up later, like
this is fundamental, I don't want to have kids, and
the person was like, that's fine, no problem. Two years
in the marriage, I want to have a kid, and
and then it was like, well, now what do we

(51:41):
do because we talked about this and then well, whoopsie
they had a kid. And that's that's a whole different conversation.
But oh it was a mistake. It was oh, it
was an accident and it all worked out. But my
thing is, like, I guess I was just curious if
you if you were like, oh, no, you know, it's
just free and fun and whatever, and then all of
a sudden you're like, no, no, no, I mean we have
to get married now. Is there any of that going on?

Speaker 9 (52:03):
So I mean we were together like at eighteen, so yeah,
of course, it was like, oh, yeah, whatever, we're just
having fun. But I mean, I will say the last
ten years I've been pretty solid on like wanting a
family and wanting to have kids. So you know, I
feel like, you know, fair at twenty two, you know,
I'm like kind of thinking that way, and he was seemed.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
To be on the same page.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
Yeah, and we're like allowed to change, right or do
you guys disagree?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Let's just say you can change. But I guess if
a decade goes by and you can change your mind.
But I think if you change your mind in that
way after saying no, no, it's good, it's good, it's good,
and then a decade later you're like, no, it's not,
I think you have to be prepared that person's going
to say, well, i've been very honest with you and transparent.
We may be at a crossroad to That's why I
was curious about that you do have a right to

(52:47):
change your mind. I was just curious if you did lell,
we grow, we evolve, because that would be one thing.
But you know, you're saying that this guy has known
for a long time that this is what you want
and hasn't done it. Yeah, you got to go.

Speaker 2 (52:58):
Yeah, you gotta got to pack up, pack.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
It up, you gotta go. No, I don't blame you
for being afraid. I don't blame you, but like, I
don't think it's gonna happen, And if it does, it's
gonna because you you're gonna feel like you force his
hand in it. Yeah, right, And that's not a good feeling,
and that's not fair to you. No, he's in the
way of your husband.

Speaker 9 (53:14):
You know your husband is or to him, right, Yeah,
because if he doesn't really want it, then like we're
both fooling ourselves.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Let me, Shannon take some phone calls on this. But
I don't mean to be harsh, I really don't, but
I just I, you know, my gut tells me that
this this isn't going to happen on its own, and
if it does, it will probably be you'll probably wonder
for the rest of your life, did I make this
guy do this? And I don't think that's a great
feeling to have, even if it's not justified. Even if
he's right on the verge and then you push him

(53:43):
and then he does it, you're still gonna be like
I had to push you, and I don't think that's cool,
but man, and let me take some calls and have
the radio on and we'll see what happens. But good luck,
thank you. I'm eight five three five high, Amanda. How
are you?

Speaker 2 (53:58):
I'm good?

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Are you doing great? Sarah? Go? What do you think?
I say?

Speaker 8 (54:02):
Go.

Speaker 13 (54:02):
I've been with my boyfriend for ten years, but we've
started dating at fourteen, so I'm twenty four now, and
we've talked about getting a ring. We just have kind
of surpassed our first year in both of our you know,
start of our careers, so we were kind of just
waiting on that. But we're both aligned on the whole

(54:23):
kid thing, and I think if you're not, that's a
deal breaker.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
I will say, to start a relationship at fourteen, I mean, yeah,
people get married. I mean people get married at eighteens.
You know, they get married young. They do. Yeah, No,
But I mean I would say, I'm not saying that
the first you know, three quarters of the relationship don't count.
They do, but it might be a little less realistic
to be married in the first part of them. Right,

(54:49):
So now here we are, and so now I think
it's a valid conversation, and I'm not saying that the
ten years of your relationship don't count. But you're not
gonna get married at fourteen, fifteen, sixteen seven, probably so,
But yeah, I would think this guy would know where
he stands with you at this point, after all this time.

Speaker 13 (55:03):
Yeah, And you can't change someone's mind that easily on
a topic that's huge.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Yeah, I agree. And it's not the kind of thing
I want to wonder. It's not the kind of thing
I want to wonder for the rest of my life,
even if it even if it works, I still don't
want to be like man I had to make think
I do that right. I don't think it's yet.

Speaker 13 (55:20):
You mentioned guilt. I agree, Gil is not something you
want in a relationship.

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Yeah, yeah, Amana, thank you, have a good day, good luck,
Thanks bred bye, thanks for calling. Hey, Bethany, good morning, Hi,
good morning, Hi, Bethany stare Go.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
So I think that she's got to go. There's after
fifteen years. If you're not ready, you're never going to
be ready, There's no way.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
Yeah. I don't think this guy wants to be married.
I mean, because again, good enough for fifteen years. I
don't want to say not good enough for marriage, but
that doesn't make sense, right, Like, if you're good enough
for fifteen years, then you're good enough for marriage unless
you just don't want to be married, and then that's
okay too. But I don't think he.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
Wants to be So what's like the cutoff year wise?
Like are we concerned at seven.

Speaker 6 (56:03):
Years half a lifetime ago? I don't know, because he
is about to be there. Yeah, I'm about to cut
him off.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
I don't know. I don't know that it takes. I
don't think it takes that long to know if you
want to be married. I don't No, it doesn't take
that long to know if you want to be married.
I think it takes We have to be realistic. There's
a life thing. There's things that happen in people's lives
that prevent it. There always will be.

Speaker 6 (56:26):
There, always will be. However, she she doesn't have a reason.
He can't even give her a reason on why it
hasn't happened. Now I know several reasons on why things
haven't happened and why. You know, if you're being if
that's really what you want and your partner won't give
it to you, like leave, there's no reason to stay
in it. But there's I mean, you can't put a
time stamp. I don't think there's a certain year like

(56:47):
at the five year market mans. And then you have
to go like, no, it's different for every relationship, and
people settle too and settle early, and that doesn't work
out great either.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
So it's like you just got to do what works
for you.

Speaker 5 (56:58):
Got to go I think I think so for sure
if you want if she values marriage, and it doesn't
sound like he does, then there's the answer.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
Yeah, thank you, Bethany, have a great day. You're too
glad you called. Thank you for listening. Carrie, Hi carry
good morning. You did this, I did this, yes, okay,
so tell me about it.

Speaker 11 (57:22):
So me and my husband met when I was fifteen
and he was eighteen, and we instantly got together. You know,
we had a child accidentally, we had a child, and
we decided, okay, we don't want to do the lockdown
get married thing, you know, because we were both so young.
We wanted to live our life and all of that.
But then I got older and then I'm like, okay,

(57:44):
you know, we got a kid, we got kids, whatever,
I want to get married. He still didn't want to,
and I kind of understood that because from a man's standpoint,
you know, you guys feel differently than women do. You
have different emotions, different things that you go through. The
older you get, the more you're just like, okay, I'm
too old for this. Testosterone all that kind of stuff

(58:07):
comes into play. So I think she should stay. I
don't think that he doesn't value it. I think that
there could be something there that she just doesn't realize,
or maybe it could be childhood trauma that he's went through,
or even some kind of emotion that he's going through
that maybe they just need to sit down and like

(58:27):
you know, have a conversation, maybe compromise with each other. Okay,
well you want children, let's have children. Don't have his
last name. You'll still be their father. It's not like
he won't be in their life. It's just maybe come
to a compromise and then later on get married. I
know people that have been together for fifty years still
haven't gotten married and they still love each other.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
Well see now, and I agree with that. Like, like
I said earlier, I could see myself in a situation
where I get with somebody and we're just happy and
we don't do it at this point in life, and
that's fine, but that we would both have to be
aligned in that correct. If one person wants it the
other person doesn't, that's a fundamental disagreement. That's going to
be a problem. Hey, thank you so much, Carrie, have
a good day.

Speaker 11 (59:09):
You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (59:10):
Glad you called. Hey, hold on a second, I want
to get back to say, what's that Carrie's rest of.

Speaker 5 (59:16):
Our life having kids for this man, I'm being real.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
I don't think it was on purpose.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
But Adriana, Hi, Hi, good morning.

Speaker 9 (59:25):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
So this happen you? You did this. You you gave
your fiance and ultimatum. What's the situation.

Speaker 14 (59:31):
So we've been together since we were nineteen, we were
college sweethearts. I just said, I do not want to
be one of those people who is been dating ten
years and doesn't have a ring, Like we either are
going to be in this for the rest of our
lives or we're not. So I said by year six.
I gave that ultimatum because I know what I want

(59:52):
in life. I said, by year six, if I don't
have a ring, I'm out. I got my ring and
we've been engaged for two years now. I have no
plan on having a wedding anytime soon. But for me,
it was I wanted the ring. And yeah, we've been

(01:00:12):
together eight years.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Yes, okay, so Adrian, I'm not I'm not like, I'm
not criticizing you whatsoever. But you demanded a ring, you
got it, but you don't necessarily want to get married.
I mean so okay, I mean I almost feel like
you said going.

Speaker 14 (01:00:26):
To get married. But we just bought a house in August.
I finished my masters next year, so after I finish everything,
then that's the next plan.

Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Okay, that I could be a fiance.

Speaker 8 (01:00:39):
I'm going to.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
I'm with somebody for six years or seven years or whatever.
They're like, I have to have a ring. Well i'd
probably give you a ring, and that's all I gotta do.
And then I bought myself another seven years. Okay, here
you go. I mean I might I might be inclined
to do that. So wait, that's all I gotta do.
I just bought myself more time. I mean, I don't know,
it's just romantic. It's like I feel like this either
happens in a reasonable period of time or it doesn't,

(01:01:05):
and it's all right, and it's okay if it doesn't.
But if one person wants it and the other person
is struggling with it, you may never get there and
that's okay, but then you may need to go another direction.
I don't know what do I know? Multiple people Adriana,
thank you, have a good day. We're at a time
and we got to go. But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
I don't think everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
I'm telling these people that right, right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
We learn that people are listening to you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
There was a little girl that was like, I'm single
time May she was six.

Speaker 8 (01:01:37):
You know it's.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
That That's what keys going out of here. You give
a Ted talks to kindergarteners, elementary schools, the Entertainer Report
and shows k Fred Show.

Speaker 12 (01:01:49):
Klin's Entertainer Report is on the Fread Show.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
Okay, first things first, we are getting a ton of
questions on what the brand of magnesium is. I'm not
being paid, but it is life extension. You can get
it on Amazon. There are two kinds. Leave it in me, yes,
leave it in the bottle if you lie with someone
else in your home.

Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
In a long Instagram post, event planner Andy King says
he's super disappointed in Billy McFarlane trying to plan file
Fire Festival Part two. I'm sure his parents aren't super
proud either, But he said he hoped prison would have
knocked some sense into him after the first one, but
clearly not because Firefest two is already a hot, burning mess.
And he said he was all forgiving Billy a second chance.

(01:02:30):
He even stood by him when no one else would.
He linked up with him like a year and a
half ago to help him focus on empathy and paying
people back from the original festival.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
But clearly it was all for nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:40):
Andy himself lost hundreds of thousands of his own money, and.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
Of course his career took a hit his reputation.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
He says that he only did that documentary so that
he could help everyone get their money back. But Billy
has ghosted him, and he thinks it's clear that he
doesn't care about others. As for Fire Festival two point zero,
they're blaming the Mexican government for pulling the plug on
it being held in Pla del Carmen. They claim that
they were down and now they're saying they have no
idea about it. Remember, he was convicted of fraud and

(01:03:07):
he spent six years in prison after the disaster that
was the twenty seventeen festival. He was released in twenty
twenty two, and apparently he wants to go back real.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Bad because he's trying to throw another festival.

Speaker 4 (01:03:18):
After a two decade long beef, Madonna and Elton John
have buried the hatchet. Madonna shared a photo of them
doing a little side hug and wrote, we finally buried
the hatchet. I went to see Elton John perform on
SNL this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
Wow. Madonna said that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
Seeing one of Elton's shows when she was in high
school actually changed the course of her life, helping her
realize she wanted to be a pop star. So it
hurt her a lot to know that someone that she
admired publicly disliked her as an artist. Some background, if
you didn't know it all began in twenty two thousand
and two Excuse Me When out and said that Madonna's
Die Another Day was the worst Bond song of all time.
He continued throwing digs at the singer at the two

(01:03:53):
thousand and four Q Awards, where he slammed her winning
Best Live Act, saying that since when has lip syncing
been live? I think everyone who lip stinks on stage
when you pay to go see them should be shot,
so Weldon's a little spicy sometimes. The feud escalated in
twenty twelve when they are both up for Best og
Song at the sixty ninth Golden Globes. Madonna one John's

(01:04:14):
husband blasted her on Facebook, which is showing their age.
But the two queens are back together again. And lastly, Fred,

How are you?

Speaker 15 (01:12:01):
Oh man, I'm just super frustrated. I thought I went
on a really awesome date last week and.

Speaker 3 (01:12:10):
She's just not She's just not getting back to me.

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
She's ghosting.

Speaker 8 (01:12:13):
I don't know what's going on.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
All right, Well, that's frustrating, So why don't you tell us?
I listen, how did you meet, tell us about any
dates you've been on, and then where things are now.

Speaker 15 (01:12:21):
Yeah, I mean we met on Bumble, you know, and
we went out and after you know, talking for texting
or whatever for a week on Bumble, we decided to
go out and we just got drinks.

Speaker 8 (01:12:34):
And I thought it was it was super fun.

Speaker 15 (01:12:36):
I thought it was just really you know, talked, had
good conversation that weren't any walls.

Speaker 8 (01:12:41):
Or anything, you know, Like I thought I had some
good sons.

Speaker 1 (01:12:44):
But because you can sometimes tell when you're out with
somebody if you're conversing in the conversations labored or you know,
if you go if you bring up a topic that
gets weird or awkward or whatever, but you're saying like
everything was just kind of natural and flowing, and that's usually.

Speaker 8 (01:13:00):
Sign Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.

Speaker 1 (01:13:02):
Okay, all right, well let's see if we can figure
out what's going on. We're gonna call this woman, Sophie.
You'll be on the phone at the same time. I
want you to jump in at some point, but we're
gonna ask some questions before that and see if we
can figure out what's going on. And the hope, as
always is that there's something going on here. We can
straighten out and then set you up on another date
and pay for that. Sound good, you've kind of here.
What happens next? Part two of waiting out the phone?

(01:13:24):
After got got Bruno Mars back in three minutes. Fred,

iHeart app. Check us out live each morning at any time.
Search for the Fred's Show on demand. Hey, Tim, all right,
let's call Sophie. You guys met on bumble and you
went on a date and you thought the date was amazing.
You thought the conversation was good, you thought the attraction
was there. You were into her, you were excited about this,

(01:13:47):
and yet you've reached out for another date since then
and you have not heard from her. No response, text, calls, whatever, nothing. Okay,
let's call Sophie. Figure this out right now, good luck?

Speaker 11 (01:14:04):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
Hi is this Sophie? Yes, he Sophie. Good morning. My
name is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred Show, the
morning radio show, and I have to tell you that
you are on the radio right now, and I would
need your permission to continue with the call. Can we
chat for a second, would you mind? Sure? Well? Thank
you? You can hang up any time. But we're calling on
behalf of a dude who says you met you on Bumble.

(01:14:27):
His name is Tim. Do you remember meeting Tim? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:14:30):
Oh boy, yeah I do. This is a little on
a pocket. What's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
Oh wow?

Speaker 1 (01:14:37):
Well, I mean that's fair to say. But he called
us and he told us that you guys have met
on Bumble and went on a date. He thought the
date went great and was excited to see you again,
but says that he hasn't been able to get ahold
of you. We obviously had no trouble. You picked up
in like two rings. So what's going on? Why haven't
you called him back? Why don't you want to see
him again?

Speaker 3 (01:14:57):
Well? I guess like this at some point, but I
can go ahead and walk you through one of the
creepiest experiences I think I've ever had.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
Wait, so you're saying this date was one of the
creepiest experiences that you've ever had.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
The aftermath of the date, Oh definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:15:13):
Okay, Wow, what happened?

Speaker 3 (01:15:16):
Well, I mean everything was fine. When we match some bumble,
the back and forth, our conversation was really nice, which
is really rare for Bumble. That's kind of like a
watering hole of creatures of the night. So I thought, Okay,
somebody nice and normal who's having a real conversation with
me the date.

Speaker 1 (01:15:36):
I'm sure the Bumble people appreciate that. By the way,
I'm sure there it's a It's a watering hole for
Creatures of the Night copyright you Bumble five. I can
see it now on a billboard. I think that's kind
of what our show is, is a watering hole for
creatures of the night. Anyway, And I mean that in
the finest way possible and the nicest, kindest way. So okay,

(01:15:56):
So what happened?

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Yeah, date, super fun. After the date though, that's the
Nike got really weird. The day after the date. He
asked for my email and he already had my phone number.
People don't really ask for emails, you know. But okay, sure,
he said he had a surprise for me. Fine, Like
out the email, it's all when it took a really

(01:16:19):
dark turn. The subject line was I picture a future
with you. Whatever could that possibly mean? So inside the email,
I kid you not. He had a power point. Now
look at that power point possibly mean?

Speaker 1 (01:16:34):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
I clicked on that power point and I was absolutely shocked.
This guy actually.

Speaker 8 (01:16:41):
Made a PowerPoint using AI photos.

Speaker 3 (01:16:44):
Mind you, you show us what our life would be
like together.

Speaker 1 (01:16:51):
So this dude went to like j GPT and he
typed in like, you know, me and Tim and Selphie
together forever or something okay, and then he sent this
to you in a little organized manner. So what sort
of images did he Oh no, did he have a
I make of the two.

Speaker 3 (01:17:08):
Of you the entire play by play? Engagement photos yeah,
oh yeah, wedding photos. I will say he picked a
really nice dress for me.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
Yeah, pregnancy oh wow wow?

Speaker 1 (01:17:28):
Okay, kids, now you're married with you have yeah boy
or girl?

Speaker 3 (01:17:35):
Boys?

Speaker 10 (01:17:36):

Speaker 2 (01:17:37):
The girl?

Speaker 11 (01:17:37):

Speaker 3 (01:17:38):
Questionable? You know, maybe should a late bluemer shall come
into it.

Speaker 10 (01:17:42):
The kid.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
We're making one of the AI children now that you
would have together. Okay, wow. So wedding.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
There was a cat, a caligo named Pebbles.

Speaker 1 (01:17:55):
A cat. You own a cat now too? In AI
world with this guy who you went on one day
with from.

Speaker 8 (01:18:00):
Bumble absolutely wow wow.

Speaker 1 (01:18:03):
Wow, okay, I mean way to hate, way to have vision,
you know. Let me say something here. A lot of
women complain that guys don't know what they want. This
guy quite clearly knows what he wants.

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
This is not what we mean, This is not what
we mean.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Let me bring Tim into this. The aim asked her, Wow, Tim,
you didn't mention when you said the things that she
wasn't responding to you. You didn't mention this fantasy world
that you created at the two of them in a
PowerPoint presentation.

Speaker 8 (01:18:33):
I mean, what was the issue with that?

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
What was the issue? I think there are kind of
a lot of issues actually go ahead that.

Speaker 3 (01:18:43):
He have to ask. That is an issue?

Speaker 1 (01:18:45):
I mean, is that normal behavior for you to create
a fantasy world with someone you just met, including pictures
of events that didn't take place.

Speaker 15 (01:18:54):
Well, I mean it was just like a joke, you know.
I mean, I know we're not married, I know we
don't have kids. It was just like, you know, hey,
like I see this getting serious, you know if if.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
You're in It took a long time though, no.

Speaker 15 (01:19:07):
No, no chat EBT and the new program that I
had it took like twenty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:19:14):
I don't I don't know that I would say to
somebody after a first date, all that stuff anyway, not
to mention creating the fake pictures of what all that
would look like like, I think a lot of people
would be alarmed if you told them after the first
date that you saw a future, you know, having kids
and buying a cat with them. I think that people
might that might be a little abrasive for people. But
then you you went ahead and took the extra step

(01:19:35):
of creating the images.

Speaker 8 (01:19:38):
Well, I didn't create the images they I did. Well,
is a cat really abrasive?

Speaker 1 (01:19:42):
I mean they're pretty pretty creatures. I thought why. I
think it's the purchasing of the cat combined with the
kids who you've named, and yeah, right right, I think that,
you know, it's.

Speaker 8 (01:19:57):
Kind of like plug and play. You know, it's like
I have.

Speaker 15 (01:20:00):
You know, an image of what I want in my life,
and I'm just you know, getting this person to see
if they go along with that.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
And this guy, you know, Tim is just on a
vision board. How is that any different than putting a
picture of a Ferrari on your on your mirror. The
man wants to you know, aspire to have a Ferrari,
except this time he's, uh, the Ferrari is is Sophie,
and he made fake images of the children that they
don't have, So I look oriented is normal? The man

(01:20:31):
is focused, The man knows what he wants. I uh,
I may be changing my mind about this. So many
normal things? What what what I mean?

Speaker 8 (01:20:42):
People gotta you know, they got to.

Speaker 15 (01:20:43):
Stand out right, Like you don't know her middle name?

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
Bro, you just met her, You don't need that.

Speaker 2 (01:20:49):
Form is out of control.

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
I would look you your your imagination has taken you know,
kind of gotten the best of you here. And I
think again, I feel like if you communicated these things
to her after a first date, that that in itself
would spook a lot of people, because even though you
have good intention, you just met, now, you went ahead
and created fake pictures of this. I don't suppose you
have them like in frames in your house or anything. Like,

(01:21:16):
you haven't taken it. Is that? What can you imagine?
Like if she went over to his house and like
that side is the picture of Uh? Actually, I think
I just did give you.

Speaker 8 (01:21:24):
No, I don't I don't have any I don't.

Speaker 15 (01:21:26):
Have any friends.

Speaker 1 (01:21:27):
That would be weird. That would be you have Okay,
that weird Sophie. You haven't said much. Are you just
frightened her? I mean, I.

Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
Don't mean it.

Speaker 8 (01:21:38):
It's supposed to be. It's supposed to be cute. Why
are you yelling at This is not cute.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
This is a thing that documentaries murder mysteries on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (01:21:48):
Were, maadeo, this is how that's good.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
That's certainly not that I'm gonna ask the question.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Oh no, I think you should totally understand why this
is murder. No one's murdering anybody. But I think you
may have murdered your chances of going out with her again.
But I have to ask the question. That's what I'm
paid to do. Do you, Sophie, would you like to
go out with him again? You know, he was a
little he came in a little hot with the AI
images of the two of.

Speaker 8 (01:22:21):
You together, and any more AI images if you don't
like them.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
See, he won't send anymore. How about that?

Speaker 3 (01:22:26):
No agreeing to jet chat whoa, I can't even say it.
According to chat GBT, I will not be going on
a second date.

Speaker 1 (01:22:35):
Oh see, she asked chat GPT too, and chat even
chat GPT is like, well, this is weird. This is
a weird use of me. That's what chat geft said. Okay,
all right, look so it's not going to work out, Tim,
I'm sorry, Look at you sound like a sweet guy.
It was a little aggressive. You spooked her, so I
might be mindful of that moving forward. But good luck
to you and Sophie. Thanks for answering. Good luck to
you as well.

Speaker 8 (01:22:55):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:56):
All right, well, the Entertainer Report will get to the headlines,
the biggest stories of the day, and the fun fact
all next fread show back into Calin's Entertainer Report, and
he's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
The White Lotus season finale was full of jaw dropping twists,
but one of the biggest got scraps. So this is
not a spoiler if you haven't seen. It's something that
almost happened but didn't. Creator Mike White revealed on the
White Lotus official podcast, which I need to listen to,
that Piper Ratliffe and Zion Lindsay were originally supposed to
have a surprising sex scene in the last episode. The
two characters never once encountered one another during the show,

(01:23:31):
but according to Mike, Piper was supposed to lose her
virginity to Zion. He says that he intended for her
to have a realization while spending the night in the
Buddhist monastery that she needed to have sex for the
first time and get this thing over with after brother
Saxon Macher for her lack of experience. I know it's
a lot of things that people in this room don't

(01:23:51):
know what I'm talking about, but hopefully somewhere someone out
there gets it. Ultimately, he cut the scene from the script.
It would have added ten more minutes to the episode
and too much of a come vibe. It didn't fit
the middle of Piper's dad's very dark plot line. If
you know, you know by the way he says Season
four will be entirely different, which you know they usually are,
So I don't know what that means. Yukan is a

(01:24:12):
national champion once again, and perhaps nobody was more proud
of the new title than Vanessa Bryant, whose daughter Gianna
absolutely adored the husky so she of course is the
widow of Kobe Bryant.

Speaker 2 (01:24:23):
She took to Instagram to congratulate.

Speaker 4 (01:24:25):
Yukon after they destroyed South Carolina Sunday in Tampa, which
had her thinking about her late daughter. She wrote, Jigi
would have loved being there with you, before adding a
quote from Gianna that read, when you can't think yu Kan,
Yukan is where many people thought Gigi would have ended
up if not for the twenty twenty helicopter crash that
tragically took she and Kobe's lives and the lives of others,

(01:24:46):
as well as her NBA legend father once said that
she was hell bent on attending the university after she
passed at just thirteen. Yukon actually left a customized number
two jersey for her the bench and captained the f
poo Mamba Sita is.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
Forever a Husky. The Huskies title was.

Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
Their twelfth but their first in the last nine years.
Beyonce celebrated her latest business milestone, getting her hair care
line at Alta, which is a big deal for the Beehive.
She showed up with platinum hair at the party in
La and a white outfit She looks Beautiful where celebrity
friends sat in the chair to try out different products.
Sacred was only available online before and I know, as

(01:25:26):
you know, Kiki has told me and Beyonce fans it's
hard to get things that she comes out with.

Speaker 2 (01:25:30):
We don't know where to find them.

Speaker 4 (01:25:32):
So now they are going to officially be at Alta
and you can try it. And lastly, the Dodgers celebrated
their World Series Championship in the White House yesterday. President
Trump greeted them in the East Room during a twenty
minute ceremony, and then he met with MVP show Hey
Otani in the Oval Assa's office and he was like
gushing over show Hey said he looks like a movie star,
which made me laugh and Mookie Bets. By the way,

(01:25:52):
one of the players who skipped out on the Red
Sox visit to the White House in twenty nineteen, was
at the ceremony showed cans with Trump. He said that
he regretted not going in twenty nineteen because the decision
took attention away from his teammates at the time.

Speaker 2 (01:26:04):
By the way, if you want to catch up.

Speaker 4 (01:26:05):
On anything from The Fred Show, Kiki Karaoki definitely gonna
be Paulina Fred's Fund Fact type The Fred Show on
demand and set us as a preset on the free
iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
The Fred Show is on Fred's Fun.

Speaker 5 (01:26:17):
Fact Fred Fund.

Speaker 1 (01:26:25):
Learning so much? All right, guys, so this is interesting.
Bruce willis okay. When you think of Bruce willis, what
do you think of first?

Speaker 2 (01:26:33):
Die Hard?

Speaker 1 (01:26:33):
Yep, So, Bruce, have you ever seen Diehard? I know
the answer that he was I knew what you were
gonna say. I could read your mind. Bruce Willis played
the legendary John McClain in the die Hard film franchise, right,
but before he landed the role in the Action Pack movies,
the part was offered to Frank Sinatra, who is in

(01:26:57):
his seventies at the time. And that may sound strange,
but it had to do with illegal obligation. I never
knew this, by the way. The movie was based on
the nineteen seventy nine Roderick Thorpe novel Nothing Lasts Forever,
which was a follow up to a nineteen sixty six
The Detective I Guess not a movie in nineteen sixty eight,
or excuse me, that was a novel in nineteen sixty eight.

(01:27:18):
That novel had been made into a film starring Sinatra,
not as John McClain, but as Joe Leland, a former
New York cop who becomes a private investigator. So when
Sinatra signed up for that movie, it was in his
contract that the studio had to offer him the main
part in the sequel, but when that eventually happened, he
turned down the roll. But can you imagine Diehard without
Bruce Willis.

Speaker 2 (01:27:38):
No one with a seven year old sinatray?

Speaker 1 (01:27:40):
Can you imagine Bruce Willis WITHO Diehard?

Speaker 3 (01:27:43):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:27:44):
And is it a Christmas movie?

Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
Oh God, here we go. I don't have to talk more.
Fred Show next.

Speaker 12 (01:27:52):
Yeah, they talk better than the excited. These are the
radio blogs on The Fred Show.

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
By for writing in our diaries, except we say them aloud,
we call them blogs. I'll take this one, dear blog.
So yes, I had a friend recently tell me about
two books I need to read, and my stack of
books at home is. I buy books far, far faster
than I can read them. It's a problem. But but

(01:28:19):
Mel Robbins, I love her, Mel Robbins. Let them you
read the book.

Speaker 5 (01:28:23):
I am on audible so I'm listening to it because
I can't read. Like you said, I can't sit.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
You can't read.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
You can't read.

Speaker 1 (01:28:33):
But no, you've come a long way.

Speaker 2 (01:28:35):
Yes, sit there and read under my life.

Speaker 1 (01:28:37):
You can't read like you said, You've really made it.

Speaker 6 (01:28:40):
You come a long way in your read.

Speaker 1 (01:28:42):
I never said that. We're the record. I can, yes,
and a lot of stuff. I never said you couldn't read.
That's what I heard. I'm so proud of how far
you've come without knowing how to read. You are a
proud product of the Chicago Public school system and they
should be proud of you. You've come a long way.

Speaker 2 (01:29:04):
They don't claim me, but correct cps all.

Speaker 1 (01:29:06):
Curry condors anyway. So the book is called let Them.
It's about a theory that she came up. And now,
first I want to say this, Mel Robbins has a
very interesting story, and she herself has developed these theories
like the Wizard, the one, two, three, four five theory,
a couple others, and she's written books, and she's a

(01:29:27):
public speaker and a Ted's talk speaker and works with coming.
She's very successful. And it all sprouted from her being
depressed and broke and you know, not feeling like her
life was moving forward and all these different things. So
she kind of just like came up with these things,
these ways of improving her life, and then shares them
with everybody else. So I commend her. It's incredible. I'd

(01:29:48):
love to have her on the show. I'd love to
talk to her.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
Man me too.

Speaker 1 (01:29:53):
The problem that I'm having with this book, and in
fact it was it was for my mom to read.
My friend was like I want your mom to read
this and and if that's the case, then you should
read it too. So it's called let them. And if
I'm being I'm oversimplifying, and I'm only like a quarter
of the way through the book, so I can't say
that I fully like have experienced the message she's trying
to send. But essentially, it's if someone's doing something in

(01:30:16):
your life that upsets you, if it's taking the power
back in your life. One example she uses is something
that we could probably all relate to. Or she was
on Instagram and she noticed that a bunch of her
female friends were all on this fun trip together and
she didn't get invited, and she doesn't know why, and
she immediately goes into like despair and depression and sadness

(01:30:36):
and anger and why why wouldn't I have been invited?
Why I wasn't I included? And then the thing was, well,
let them, let them do that, and don't allow them
to take the power, because they have the right to
do that. They can go off and do whatever they want,
you know, they don't have to ask you. And then
there's a second part of this, which is let me,
which is that and I'm sure I'm butchering this, I

(01:30:57):
mean read the book like I'm not claiming to, you know,
be doing this properly, giving doing it full justice. But
the second part of this, I think is the most
important part, which is that, well, what am I going
to do about it? Well, I'm going to work on
those friendships, I'm going to reach out to those people,
I'm going to engage, I'm going to plan a trip
for myself. I'm going to do this. So take the power.
Don't let them have the power. You take the power.

(01:31:18):
Someone's being mean to you, let them Now. For me,
a couple things, I find a lot of these self
help books really simple, stupid, and I've read a lot
of them, like, for example, the Four Agreements. If you
haven't read the Four Agreements, I recommend, But once you
read it, it's like Okay, yeah, sure, you know that's

(01:31:38):
kind of the way I feel when I'm reading this,
like Okay, sure, don't let other people have the power
and take the power back. And you're like okay, well yeah,
and the other problem that I so, I guess for me,
it's like it's a great reminder and I'm going to
finish the book, and I definitely think it's a great
message I just think sometimes easier said than done. It's

(01:31:58):
like when people say, you know, the hula hoop, control
what you can control nothing outside the hula hoop.

Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
It's like, yeah, but that's not I get you.

Speaker 1 (01:32:06):
Yes, Okay, in a perfect world that I would have
the mental strength to not let anybody else affect me.
So I think a lot of these things are good
reminders and good practices. I don't necessarily think they solve
the problem, if that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (01:32:22):
Yeah, this tale so old as time, because, like you said,
we've heard it before. She's rephrasing something that we've heard,
in my opinion, but I like the way she does it,
like she's talking.

Speaker 1 (01:32:31):
About she's a good writer and she and she's it's
very relatable and she gives she gives very specific examples
from her own life.

Speaker 5 (01:32:37):
Yeah, and it's not reclaiming your power, because I and
a lot of us here can easily like fall into
the trap of like why doesn't somebody like me, or
why doesn't somebody I don't know do this? Or if
I do this for somebody, why they're not doing it
back for me? Like I think like that all day.
I can literally it's a full time job all day
line to think about why didn't invite me?

Speaker 2 (01:32:54):
Why didn't you do this?

Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
Why didn't I do the same thing? You know? And
I ruinate about it, But I think the difference, well,
and I should say the difference. For me, I just
assume everything is my fault. Everything is, and I beat
myself up and I don't even know why, Like there
are situations in my life. I know why they're the
way they are. There are situations in my life I
can honestly tell you I don't and I think about
those and I just I figure, it's my fault. And
the only way that I can fix it is to

(01:33:16):
just call and take the sword and just tell the
person everything's my fault. I'm so sorry. I did everything wrong.
And in this book she's saying to you, no, don't
do that, because maybe it's not. In fact, there's a
very good chance it isn't. And so let them have
that opinion, let them say the things, let them do
the thing, and then control how you, you know, moving forward,

(01:33:37):
how you treat people, how you live your life. Now,
my problem with this is, and she's very clear about
how it's two parts, not one part. It's two parts.
It's let them and then let me. She's super clear
about that. My problem is, I think a lot of
people are going to read it as let them not
my fault, Hey, let them, let them be a holes. Well,
maybe let them be mean, let them not invite me.

(01:33:59):
What about but if they're not inviting you because you're
not treating them, Well, what about if they're not including
you because they don't like it? They actually don't like
you because you did something wrong. So my problem is,
I think for the I think it depends on your mindset.
Like she makes it clear, this is not her issue.
She makes it clear, it's two part. I think a
lot of people are going to read it as let

(01:34:19):
them just let them and then not change the way
they go about living their lives, because I, unfortunately I
tend to know far more people who everything is everybody
else's fault than the other way around.

Speaker 2 (01:34:32):
I see what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (01:34:33):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't feel like
I know as many people who are willing to say
to look introspectively as quickly as they are to just say, well,
that's the it's their fault, it's their problem, they did it,
it's their fault. I didn't do this, you know what
I'm saying. So self awareness and accountability would be key
in applying this theory, but I don't. I think self
awareness is at a premium. Oh yes it is.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
It's got to be like super expensive right now because
nobody has it.

Speaker 1 (01:34:58):
So that's all I'm saying is is I read the book,
I encourage it. I respect her. I'd love to talk
to her. I'd love to interview her. But I guess
I say this with caution that it's important that you
are aware that you do play a role in the
direction that your life goes. Now. You can weigh yourself
down with the past, you can weigh yourself self down

(01:35:19):
with your mistakes, you can weigh yourself down with things
that you don't have anything to do with that are
affecting the way that you feel. And I think that's
her point is let go of that, let them do that,
and then you move forward. Don't be held back by
things you can't control.

Speaker 2 (01:35:31):
Like the non invited thing is huge.

Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
I think more people like let them because they are
allowed to not invite you to a post, of course,
and a lot of people think they're entitled to be
invited to everything, and there may be reasons why they're not,
you know, so I think that's a great example of
how to use it.

Speaker 1 (01:35:45):
Like, Okay, no, I agree, it was a great example
because I do feel this like I'm a guy who
wants to be invited to everything, but I don't go
to very much because I'm an introvert and I use
all my words at work and I sit at home
and keep to myself and hope that one day my
doordass driver is my future wife. Yeah, that's what I hope,
because that's the only you know, physical contact I have
from Friday to Sunday. But at the same time, I

(01:36:06):
need to look I need to look introspectively and say, well,
part of the reason why I don't get invited to
everything is because I don't go. And that's my fault.
That's no one else's fault, you know what I mean.
It doesn't come from a place of malice, but sometimes
it does, but for the most part it doesn't. But
you know, I like the message. I just think it's
it's important that it's used in context. And she says

(01:36:27):
that in the book, I just don't know if everyone's
going to read it that way.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
That's true. She also covers other things, so I think
that are pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
She'll talking about like showing up or whatever, like online,
or like like doing things that you're like scared to
do because we're all afraid of people's opinions, right, Like
I'm scared to post this video because people are gonna think,
oh wow, Paulina gives me the yck with this video,
and I'm terrified.

Speaker 2 (01:36:44):
But you know, she's very honest.

Speaker 5 (01:36:46):
She goes, you know, everybody has thoughts all day long,
good and bad. We've all thought bad things, and not
only bad as in like harmful, but I mean like
just bad things about people we love. Oh my mom
annoyed me today, Oh my husband, all you pissed me off,
which is my life story.

Speaker 2 (01:36:58):
So like things like that, you know, and doesn't mean
I don't love them.

Speaker 5 (01:37:01):
She's like, I absolutely love my kids, she says, or
my dog whatever, but you know they bother me all
day long too.

Speaker 1 (01:37:07):
So well, and then she talks about parenting too, and
I guess at the end of the book, I haven't
gotten this far, but there's like sort of a more
precise guide to this. But you know, she even says
to her teenager's teenage children like let them, let them
do some stuff. Now, there's obviously a line you can't
let them do anything. Yeah, But like, I don't think
a lot of parents are necessarily willing to say, let
my kid make this mistake that I'm watching them make

(01:37:30):
or let them act like an idiot right in front
of me, because you want to stop that and correct that.
But like, sometimes that mistake needs to be made in
order for you to then correct it and or for
them to learn. And so again, I mean she gets
into mores and she even says in the book like, hey, look,
this is not like Carte Blanche, Like you can't let
your kid do you know, black Tar heroine, you know,

(01:37:51):
and write and then correct it later, like you need
to parent. But there's a there's probably a line that
goes beyond what most parents are willing to tell tolerate
that might be worth exploring for your kids to learn. Yep.
So I say read the book. I say respect the source.
I also say I read it. I'm like, Okay, in

(01:38:14):
a perfect world that works, but it's not always going
to work every time, you know what I mean, Like,
it's not It does require a tremendous amount of mind
over matter a tremendous amount of control over your emotion,
a tremendous amount of mental discipline, and so yeah, but
the hula hoop thing drives me nuts, and that's not
I don't think that's her thing. Have Somebody else is
saying control what you can control, But that's I get it.

(01:38:37):
But like, that doesn't mean it doesn't affect me negatively,
you know what I mean? Like, yeah, it doesn't mean
that the things I can't control aren't still hurtful and
mean and that I don't need to work through them.

Speaker 4 (01:38:46):
But then everyone would do it, Like that's why you
have to work towards not allowing it to affect you
hard or else we'd all be doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:38:52):
Yeah, no, it's true. It's true. But again that's I
guess that's my thing is a lot of these books.
It's just like, well, okay, that's what I keep saying
to myself. We're right if I can remember to do it,
you know. So it's a good reminder to read the
book and let me know what you say.
