KICKI and for Shelley, and for somebody, and for somebody,
and for somebody and for somebody. What do I have
to get you this morning? I got this thing here
that Bella sent me yesterday. I haven't listened to it yet.

(01:47):
This is a talkback about me, apparently from our friends
g n O five and Raleigh. I guess so we
listened to us in Raleigh, North Carolina. Let's listen to
this is good.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
Here we go.

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

Speaker 2 (02:05):
You just have a cooler shape at the end, and
it's three D.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
I think that is brilliant and fantastic that it's absolutely
correct for all the people who've given me a hard
time about Legos, about my Lego Journey, which is stalled
out a little bit.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Well, I just I haven't bought a new one yet,
but i'll tell you what comes out next week, Yes,
next week.

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

Speaker 5 (02:27):
It's it's it's a it's the plane that carries the spaceship.
Have you ever seen this thing before? No, it's a
seven forty seven that's build to move the spaceship around
because the spaceship has to be launched right. The spaceship
can't just like take off like a normal plane and
just fly around land or whatever. So when they got
to move it from one place to the other, you know,

(02:48):
like maybe from where it lands to where it launches
or I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
I don't know why they'd be moving this thing around.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
But when they move the spaceship around, they actually put
it on top of a seven forty seven and fly both.
If you Google right now, just gonna blow your mind,
Jason Google. I think it's I don't know what it's called,
the spaceship lifter Lego thing. I don't know what it's called,
but it comes down the fifteenth. I think that's gonna
be the next one, because why wouldn't a forty year
old man assemble legos at his home.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
For Legos, do you guys have like drops, like shoe
drops or like if something's coming out.

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Or yeah, it's really cool.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Every week they have drops and people line up in
front of the Lego store to get the newest drops.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
No, yes, not for legos. And these are grown people.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
This is grown well, yeah, because it's because kids can't
afford this stuff because it's expensive. Yeah, oh yeah, it's
I think this thing's like two hundred and fifty bucks.
I don't think I bought one that's less than two
hundred dollars. But maybe there's your fun fact for the
first fun fact of the day. Did you know that
there is a plane that flies the spaceship around and
you can build it starting next week with Lego building.
But I don't see it as anything different than a puzzle.

(03:45):
Then again, maybe people put puzzle and Lego together at
the same level of nerdiness, Like if you sit at
home put a puzzle together as a grown up, he said,
I mean, no one really says much about that. Yeah,
but if you put legos together as a grown up,
then it's like, but I don't know, you got to
see these legos. He's not your kids legos anymore.

Speaker 6 (04:02):
Well, the ones I do are they're made for eight
year olds, but that's just did you put together a panda? Yeah,
the panda's done. I haven't started the bunny yet. I
haven't had time, but I think this week I need
a little bit of a reset, so we might do it.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
This might do the bunny. Yeah, see the probably I
don't know what I'm gonna do. And they look cool
when they're done, but I really can't have my apartment
covered in legos like iri, There is a limit at
some point, and then no kids. Like I once said,
I would put these things together and then donate them,
but probably no kid wants the one that's put together already.

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

Speaker 5 (04:33):
So I know there are places that will take them
apart and then repackage them and resell them.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Oh is that job? Oh my?

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Because if you go get like a two thousand piece
lego set, then you've got twenty bags and somebody has
to reorganize.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
I mean that sounds like way too much work. That's
not Yeah, yeah, that sounds frustrating. That does not sound relaxing.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Someone's actually who's manning the phone making sure you're on
the air. Well are we on the air right?

Speaker 6 (04:56):
Your job it's actually no one.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, Actually.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
You guys at home to thirteen. You have to let
us know for off the air. That's your job today.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Everyone's got a job here, sell.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
Us off today. Kalin's off today, everyone's off today. Pauline
is over here doing this job and that job. So yeah,
so you have to let us know. And if you
would come up here and answer the phone too, they
would appreciate that. It would be very nice of you.
I'm a thirty one year old woman. I love Legos.
Someone just texted I completed the Collen's House from Twilight. Wow,
I should take up three D printing. I need a

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

(05:46):
R eight like very expensive car, and and buys all
the newest legos and puts them together and whatever. You
might like this guy, he's good looking, guy rich. Yeah,
but he must be though. He must be because he's
like spending hundreds of dollars. Now, I don't know how
much you mean, how much do you make on TikTok?
How does it work? If you get one hundred thousand
likes or something? How does it work? Is the number
of views? A number of likes?

Speaker 7 (06:06):
No?

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

Speaker 8 (06:07):
I think a lot of people get paid the most
money from brand partnerships on TikTok.

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

Speaker 8 (06:12):
Yeah, you used to get paid very generously during the
pandemic from TikTok, but now the creator fund is not
as generous, so they don't.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Creators are saying they're not getting paid it a lot, all.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
Okay, Because that was the thing I thought. I thought
that that was how he was paying for this stuff,
was that he would you know, that would justify spending
two hundred and fifty dollars a week or whatever or
more because he has the Titanic. That's seven hundred dollars,
seven hundred dollars. It's also like five thousand pieces or something. Yeah,
well he has all of him. He has the pyramids.

(06:44):
I think that's five thousand pieces. Takes people a month
to put together whatever, But I thought that was how
he was justifying.

Speaker 8 (06:50):
According to Google, you get two between two cent and
four cents per one thousand views on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Okay, that's not enough to pay exactly. Legos yep or
out r eight.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Or the house that he has with a view of
looks like water in a room full of legos.

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

Speaker 5 (07:07):
So he has a room and he has like shelves
and it's just full of legos. This is that he
put together and they look cool. I mean, they're very
cool when they're together. But I do have to wonder,
you know, if this man is if he's into women
or men or whatever he's into. You know, you'd have
to find the right kind of person, because somebody comes
over to the house and see's a room full of
legos and they're either going to be super into that,

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

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

Speaker 5 (07:35):
But would you rather a guy let me ask you this,
would you rather a guy that puts legos together all
day or a guy that spends all weekend at the
golf course, spends the same amount of money, comes home drunk, whatever.
And I have no problem people who play golf. I
wish I did. I wish there were one of those people.
It's I'm two OCD you self diagnosed. It aggravates me.
I don't understand why people find golf relaxing.

Speaker 6 (07:54):
No, you're walking, it's hot, and your like exercising, like
that's not really.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Something's want to ride around with a cot taale though,
that's it?

Speaker 6 (08:01):
And with a beer cart girl, you know the beer
cards that drive around and sell.

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

Speaker 5 (08:08):
But if they're into me, I mean, you're outside, you're drinking,
you're with your friends. Oftentimes it's a way you can
get like business people. I've been I've been asked to
go golfing, believe it or not, with all different kinds
of people, like very famous people before golf energy. But
I don't know how to golf. I'm not kidding you.
I've been asked to golf with professional athletes. I've been
asked to golf with politicians, but I physically cannot hit

(08:30):
the ball. I'm so bad that it would probably be
worse for my reputation than my reputation already is. And
I would just make these people angry. Always, someone messing
with me, someone just saying you want today. I don't
hear anything. That's not very nice. That's not very nice.

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

Speaker 4 (08:46):
That's not very nice to do that. Now, don't do that.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Where if I find out that you're lying, I'm giving
out your phone number. People must be able to hear
us because you guys are talking about the things.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
We're talking some of my thing with us. Yes, that's
a that's a very mean thing to do.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
That is mean, especially because it's a mom who's in
charge of making sure we're on the air.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
We're on Yeah, that was that was messed up.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
That person's getting blocked right.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Getting out your phone numbers? Three three, we give it
out right now.

Speaker 5 (09:17):
It's it's Mother's Day weekend, and a mom is in
charge of making sure that everything is aligned. And the
tinfoil and the and the and the and the coat
hangers and the sed lights and Sassy Joe in California
and everything. We're all trying to get this aligned and
you're messing with us.

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

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Don't like it?

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

Speaker 5 (09:35):
But I would wind up going golfing and then I
would wind up embarrassing myself, and then the people would
be angry because it would be like, come on, like
you're so bad.

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

Speaker 8 (09:44):
The thing I hate about golfing is you can't get
out of it when you start, Like you have to
finish the route or whatever.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
The rout the round, like you have no even with mini.

Speaker 8 (09:54):
Golf, Like after I do it three times from over
it it's like you can't quit.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Yeah, you could do nine, you know, you can do nine.
You don't have to you don't have to play all
eighteen yeah or whatever. But yeah, I know it's a
three or four hour commitment. But a lot of people
like that because oh well on a Tuesday, we have
to take clients out, We got to take clients out,
we got to go golf and because the client and
you're not working really you know, yes, we're on the air.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Yes, particulous.

Speaker 6 (10:20):
Who else wants to get bugged?

Speaker 9 (10:21):
Right?

Speaker 5 (10:22):
Someone takes a lego crowd just and seems separate from
the magic the gathering crowd.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
To be honest, those people are just shy.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Oh well maybe again, I'm not sure that this is
what I want to be known for well, but I
will say if I were not speaking about it publicly
on the radio for thirteen people, I would still argue
it is extremely therapeutic. You go home, you got to
focus on it. You've heard me talk about this now
for weeks. You can't, you know, you can't think about

(10:48):
anything else.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
I can't.

Speaker 5 (10:50):
At least I ignore the phone, I ignore the TV,
put a little music on, and put the legos together
like a like a grown ass man should. Beautiful evening.
I'm coughing and crying at the same time. That'll be
my weekend. There's a list I'm about to tell you
about in Biggest Stories of the day that it's extremely

(11:10):
controversial and it is making people very, very angry, almost
as angry as I made one woman yesterday when she
believed that I was advocating for AI therapy. That's a
whole different story. Paulina was advocating for AI therapy. It
was a whole debate. It was well because and apparently
we're not allowed to post clips that don't have full context,
even though we link off the whole thing. So if

(11:32):
you go to our TikTok for our Instagram, Fred Show
Radio or the Fred Show TikTok on all the socials,
you'll notice we can't post a fifteen minute segment that
we did on the radio, So we'll post like maybe
two or three minutes of it, and they will always
put a link to where you can click and go
to the iHeartRadio I've and listen to the whole thing.
So I get this message, and we we wound up
in a good place, but it was you know, you
really shouldn't advocate for AI therapy.

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

Speaker 5 (11:55):
And I said, that's funny because I said you shouldn't
do AI therapy because it's it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
That's exactly what I said.

Speaker 5 (12:02):
And then she's like, well, then why is it in
the clip, Michael, because the clip is two minutes and
the segment was fifteen Well, then you shouldn't just post
two minutes. You should post the whole thing what we can't,
so you should go listen to it, right, you doing
that you want on your radio show? And then why
are you always so you're so defensive. You're always so defensive,
And I'm like, you know what, I am defensive. I
am defensive because I'm a real person, okay, and maybe

(12:22):
I should be a little bit tougher sometimes I am.

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

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I don't know why you're always so defensive. What makes
me defensive is when people tell me that I did
or said something I didn't do.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
Oh, you're right, you're absolutely.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
Right, the opposite of what you said. I absolutely get defensive.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
You know. Earlier in the year, was you did this,
and you did.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
That, and I did the exact opposite, and no one
asked the question. It was just well I saw on
the internet. Well that's one person. We believe everything right exactly.
Like it's like, why don't you ask me a question?
Did you or didn't you know what I mean? But
said so, I'm very sensitive in twenty twenty five about
people telling me what I did and didn't do when
I did the exact opposite of what you're angry about.

(13:03):
So anyway, I don't know. So yeah, uh ai therapy
and then I'm getting all these messages people going ani
therapy is great. Well, maybe I don't know the difference
between AI therapy and typing into chat GPT, vent into
chat GPT and then spitting it out.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, I'm just a mom that really needs an outlet,
and mine happens to be Chagy.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
And at this point he's basically Google, right, it's the.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Fancy or Google it's the ten ninety nine and whatever
a month Google.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I love it. She gives me good advice. She's never
stirred me wrong.

Speaker 6 (13:33):
What ever works for you?

Speaker 7 (13:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
But I also go to real therapy.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
And I said say that in the comments or whatever
I said, I go to real therapy, Like I talked
to a real human being. I love my doctor. Shout
out doctor Walker, but no night have to shout herut
because I love her. But you know what I mean, Like,
don't comfort me like I was just being funny. I'm
a funny girl, but.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
You're a funny girl. You are funny girl, funny guy,
and I don't.

Speaker 5 (13:50):
I don't know exactly what I'm gonna be honest, I
don't know what I'm talking about as it pertains to
seeking mental health advice from Chad GPT. I'll be honest,
I don't know what I'm talking about my guests based
on my interaction with chatch Ept thus far is that
when you type in your issue, it then finds like
texture or you know, you know what I mean.

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

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Like it goes into like textbooks that therapists would study from,
and it spits out information. So it's really no different
than a self help book, which, while helpful, is generic.
We've already had the conversation about mel Robins or whatever.
It's like, you know, you can read that Mel Robins
book and get all fired up about however you interpret
it and miss the point. And if that makes you

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

(14:55):
identify if you're full of crap and.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Tell you it's going to help you get better.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
Back to the Pope and back to my list that
everyone's upset about there will be focused on this show
maybe probably not the biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
After Rose messy new music, Fred's.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Show is on Fred's biggest stories of the day.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
Let's face it, I think some people hate listen to
this show waiting for the day that I'm actually going
to actually go over the edge.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Today's not today. But I once again woke up.

Speaker 5 (15:22):
And I'm not advising this for anyone, but jat GPT
said find every bottle of everything that's cold related that's
not nighttime and swallow it. And I did that. No,
I'm just trying to make it through the week. Okay,
I've been to I've been We've been international this week. Okay,
I've been doing you and I've been here in another country.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
And back in twenty four hours.

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

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Very wild week.

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

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Now, Zach is he's an airline pilot, he's a stud
he's a former F eighteen pilot in the Navy, so
he's an American hero as well.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Thank you for your service.

Speaker 5 (15:57):
And he listens from Virginia, I believe, he says, Dude,
my wife uses Chad GBT as a friend counsel. Or Advisor,
et cetera. They even have names for themselves. This ai
ish is ridiculous. Oh my god, your co host gives
it a gender too. My wife's a I believe friend.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
This male?

Speaker 5 (16:14):
Good god, is this a new additional gender. I need
to learn computer genders. I'm too simple for this.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
I don't want it.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
This is a whole rant. I don't want a damn
machine to tell me what I want to hear. People
need to watch I Robot with Will Smith again. Scary stuff.
The machines are taking over for it. But every time
I type something in Chad GBT, it's pits has something
very clinical, and it's like I don't know where it
got it. But it's like, okay, well this isn't customized
to me. I'm I'm sure we're headed that way.

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

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Haven't set up the context with the computer yet. For
it's a truly no mo.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
When you date somebody, right, you get to know them
a little bit, you talk to that much.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
You're dating Chad now, I swear.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Like this is a relationship that I've never had before.

Speaker 4 (16:58):
Wow.

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

Speaker 1 (17:02):
It's nice.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
I assume it's non sexual, but were you hoping it
moves into that way? You know what?

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I'm not going to do that with of my robot friends. No, No, they.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
Only long before Chad, can you activate some sort of machine?

Speaker 4 (17:12):
And then, oh, I'm sure and I'm listening.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
Hold on a second technology, guys. I don't know if
you heard about this, but the first American pope has
been liked it. And guess where he's from. He's from Chicago.
There have been no shortage of memes about this. The
internet has Internet, and I have to be honest. A
couple of the ones that I saw that I liked
the most, We did come on. Somebody sent me one

(17:37):
yesterday and I didn't realize it was ours, and it
went viral and it had a gazillion likes and it
was the pope walking out to the percolator to some free,
some true Chicago freestyle music, and I was like, this
is amazing. And then I looked up and I said,
we did that, sweet Kinky did that. Yes, I was
so proud of us for that. And then a little

(17:59):
zero gravity and did Okay, if you're from Chicago, if
you know you know a little more inside. But that
made me happy to But the Catholic Church has its
first ever American Pope. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected
by his fellow cardinals on Thursday. The sixty nine year
old is a native of Chicago who served for two
decades in Peru, first as a missionary and then as

(18:20):
an archbishop. His chosen name will be Pope Leo, and
Pope Francis brought him to the Vatican in twenty twenty
three to lead a powerful office that vets the nomination
of bishops from around the world. We tried to get
his brother on. We may have stalked his brother yesterday.
Jason may have called Paulina, may have called every single
number we could find for anyone up to his house.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
And he has not gotten back to us yet.

Speaker 5 (18:42):
He was a I believe, a former Catholic school principal. Yes,
so maybe he doesn't mess with us. It's very possible
that he doesn't want anything to do with us our.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Social like I know, the Pope is so embarrassed, Like
Chicago showed out yesterdays.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
It was Pope Leo with my Lord, it was Pope
Leo with an Italian if it was Pope Leo handing
out deepest pizzas as hosts. You know, if if you're
a Catholic, then you know you're just.

Speaker 3 (19:07):
Trying to be pope, like you know what I mean,
like the highest isn't that like the highest honor or
like thing?

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Closer is the most powerful religious figure in the Catholic Church,
you could argue, one of the most powerful people in
the world now and apparently as of a couple of
days ago, if what I saw on TV is true.
His brother asked him, do you think it will be you?
And he said, absolutely not. There's no way that American pope,
it will ever be an American pope.

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

Speaker 5 (19:30):
Can you imagine, like you're in this meeting with all
these other guys, like it'll never be me, and then.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
It's you and is aware?

Speaker 5 (19:38):
I wonder how they had closed it fit in perfect
pope clothes that fit in perfectly. From day one, they
got little people making that stuff, like real little nuns
back there just sewing stuff up, right, because this all happened,
like you know, in a course of hours, minutes really,
but the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost first American to
be elected pope. He we're not really quite sure yet

(19:59):
which direction he wishes to take the Catholic Church in
the months to come.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Rebrand well, I hope.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
So he's a sixty nine year old. He is from Chicago.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
The two hundred and sixty seventh pope, which were there already,
two hundred and sixty seven of them. I mean, I
know the Catholic Church has been around for a while,
but yeah. He beared a message of peace yesterday at
Saint Peter's Basilica. He's already performed his first Mass. I
guess this morning. Leo is going to be his name

(20:26):
tied for the fourth fourth most common name chosen by popes,
along with Clement.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Really, where ify Ben? I guess not alive for very long.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
According to a family historian who researches genealogy, the new
pontiff has Creole of color roots. That's what this says.
In New Orleans, Louisiana. He went to Villanova. He earned
a bachelor's in mathematics and has a diploma theology from
the Catholic Theological Union of Chicago. He's a dual citizen

(20:56):
of the US in Peru and enjoys playing tennis.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Sounds like a eating profile. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
Wow, I don't think he's dating currently, but yeah, Chicago.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
And I love it. I've been obsessed with that. Somebody
just texted this in which I discovered yesterday too. He
was a substitute teacher at Rita High school. Like this
is very local.

Speaker 5 (21:14):
People had this dude as a teacher and now he's
the pope.

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

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I know, do anything from Chicago.

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

Speaker 5 (21:23):
Yeah, and we absolutely were showing out and there was
a rumor going around. I think if I again, if
this wasn't a meme or fake, I haven't been able
to verify it. Apparently Wrigley Field claimed yesterday he's a
Cubs fan. Oh yeah, put that up on the Marquis
if that's true. And again, I could have been Chad Gpet.
He could have been your boyfriend Chad doing that maybe.
But turns out his brother says he is a Sox fan.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, he clarified. He went hard.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
He is a Socks fan and his mom was a
Cubs fan and his dad was a Cardinals fan, which
I can deal with the Socks, obviously, I prefer the Cubs.

Speaker 4 (21:55):
The Cardinals.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
I can't. I can't with that. That's unacceptable. I'm sorry, Pope,
you your most amazingness, But I don't know I mean
the pope. I don't think it's been in Chicago. There
hasn't been a pope in Chicago since nineteen seventy nine,
and I believe it.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Was John Paul the second year.

Speaker 5 (22:10):
And so I would imagine we're going to be seeing
a popemobile around here.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
That would be awesome.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
You think he would like be our friend, like you
know what I mean to have.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
That much like closeness and access to Heaven.

Speaker 5 (22:22):
I think if he's listening to the first hour and
a half of the show, he would pray for us.

Speaker 4 (22:27):
But we need that, so give it.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah, give us the prayers. But I want to be
his friends so bad.

Speaker 8 (22:31):
I mean to come out at jingle Ball, get a
post to come to jingle watch.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
Maybe he would mean bless us all it is possible.
Here's cart let's put that out there. Yeah, well again again, Kiky,
don't move to uh Well, honestly, and you know we're
on in Virginia, but you probably don't want to be
based there full time because starting January first of twenty
twenty sixth, virginiall enforce a law restricting people's access to

(22:58):
social media. You have to be under sixteen wow, which
you're not anymore. But if you're under sixteen in Virginia,
starting January first of twenty twenty six, you'll have just
one hour of social media use per day unless parents
provide consent. I'm not exactly sure how they're going to
mandate or, like, you know, inforce this.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
The measure, though, which is part.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Of the Amended Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, requires social
media platforms to verify users' ages and limit usage accordingly.
The governor signed the bill citing concerns over youth mental health.

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

Speaker 5 (23:32):
The law mandates that platforms use commercially reasonable methods, such
as neutral age screening mechanisms, to access users' ages. It
also prohibits these platforms from collecting data for purposes beyond
age verification. While the bill received bipartisans support, its implementation
and effectiveness are uncertain, as experts worn that tech savvy

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

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

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

Speaker 5 (24:30):
You know, she outed him last week for having Asberger's allegedly,
and now all of a sudden he's given all the moneyway.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
This is class bag.

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

Speaker 5 (24:37):
You want to help me like that, Well, guess what,
I'm conscious enough and I am I'm with it enough
to take all your money away.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
But I would imagine that.

Speaker 5 (24:45):
You know, everyone's going to be okay in that family,
but you're not going to be a billionaire just because right,
It doesn't sound like.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Because I'm a billionaire. I'm a billionaire. Dad doesn't mean
that you get to be one too. I will set
you up, but if you want to get there and
meet me up here, like you need to work your
way up.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Yeah, I mean that.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
No, I think I think a lot of there are
a lot of rich people who feel that way. It's like, hey,
I'll make sure you're okay, you're gonna be good. You'll
be better than me, of course, but you don't just
get billions period, and just cause I think it really
would ruin people. You know, like if you knew and
I know it exists out there, you know you're gonna
be wildly wealthy.

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

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (25:21):
You know?

Speaker 5 (25:21):
And I guess you could look at it a couple
of ways where it's well, I could do anything I
want now, so you know, money doesn't matter. So if
I want to be a park ranger, you know, and
they don't get paid very well, and there you know,
it's it's a job. I think that people do because
they love being in the outdoors and they love the cause.
But you're not gonna get necessarily rich doing that. Well,
you could go do that. You could go be an
uber driver. You don't have to make a ton of money.

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

(26:03):
of rescue animals, though, I would do that. So this
is a list I was talking about before that's upsetting
a lot of people that way. I have no idea
who these people are. But they analyzed fifty of the
most populatedt cities across the US, ranking them based on
key factors associated with being cool. So this includes the
median age of residence, so I guess you can't be

(26:24):
too old if you're gonna want to be in a
cool city, the number of street art murals, the number
of vegetarian vegan bars and restaurants, the number of record stores,
the number of upcoming music events, and the number of
tattoo parlors. Okay, so that's how we're deciding if it's
a cool city. And so I guess they also looked

(26:47):
at like food hotspots, laid back vibes. I'm not sure
how you measured that number one. Boston, which is a
great city. It isn't cool, it is. I don't know if
it's cool. It's a great city. I was born there. Yeah,
I've revisited the place of my birth. It's a nice place.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I might agree with that. I've never been.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
I know if it's number one, but it's cool. Las
Vegas is number two.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Manufactured fun.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
Portland. A lot of people like Portland. I guess San Francisco,
Oh that's a good one. Seattle, Okay, Denver, Nashville, DC,
Detroit at number nine, l a Austin, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Columbus.
Where is Chicago? Where is New York? Where is Houston?
And people in Houston were mad. That's the article where
I found this. They're very upset. I'm sure, No Chicago,

(27:35):
no New York. I just think that's just to make
people angry. That's that's just it's just to be like controversial.
Then they put Los Angeles in there, but there there
is They're all come on, they got tattoo parlors here.
It's exciting and authentic and effortlessly memorable.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
We got a big silver bean.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Exactly what we got the pope, I mean about what
a bunch of haters, honestly, And of course we have
a food story Krispy Kreme if you get you Krispy
creams at McDonald's, which again dangerous. I go to McDonald
You know I love McDonald's my guilty pleasure. I walk
in there. The last thing I need to see after
I get my dripping bag is another option, which is

(28:14):
a tray full of Krispy Kremes. But they have halted
the growth of their partnership with McDonald's. The doughnut chain
has originally planned to sell its sweet treats at all
of the thirteen thousand McDonald's restaurants, and now they're saying,
not so fast, we may not do it. And a
smutty story today but it's everywhere. A fifty four year
old guy named Rob from England. Rob has fathered one

(28:36):
hundred and ninety children and if you would like him
to be the father of your child. You know, it's
very generous donating sperms so that people are able to
have children. The thing is he likes to do it
the traditional way. He calls himself a poor man's elon Musk.
He shares must concerns about declining birth rates and has
taken a more unconventional approach, operating outside regulated medical assistance.

(28:59):
He agizes his services on Facebook and engages in what
he calls natural insemination. That would mean getting it on
the way that you know, the traditional way, not the
sterilized medical way that most people are familiar with from Facebook.
And it's one hundred and thirty three dollars per session.
This sounds a little bit like something else. He claims

(29:21):
in these methods, including specific timing and positions, increased pregnancy chances,
though there's no scientific backing. He maintains contact with about
sixty of his one hundred and ninety kids. His practices
have drawn legal scrutiny, including a public warning from a
Welsh judge and an arrest warrant Wisconsin for unpaid child
support of Following recent legal challenges, he has limited his

(29:44):
services to creating siblings for existing offspring. But for one
hundred and thirty three dollars, this man will be generously
available to you with his methods and positions and timing.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
So I guess Rob is.

Speaker 5 (29:59):
A you know, considers himself a benefit a medical expert
as well.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
There have a lot of concerns about this, a lot.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
Creative.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Well, I guess it's.

Speaker 8 (30:10):
What dirty because like, is this man Colleen, but he
just raw dog and everything everywhere that's nasty.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
You can find him on Facebook, so you can find
a lot of things on Facebook. It's National Sleepover Day,
It's National Military Spouse Appreciation Day. I would say, my
friend Zach, who is in the middle it was in
a military and who is upset that his wife is
using chat GPT, you know as a as a as
a communicative sort of basically emotionally cheating with chat GPT. No,

(30:41):
I would say I would say happy day to her,
except she's a bigger deal in the military than he is.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
She's like, she's like an admiral or something.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
She basically yeah, no, she's like telling the ships for
she drives the ships.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
So this so not her day.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
Actually, maybe we celebrate him today spouse. Now it's National
Childcare Provider Day, National Moscato Day, National Loss SOCCK Memorial Day,
and National home Front Heroes Day honors millions of civilians
past and president who provides support to service members from
the home front. Also my friend Zach apparently since he's
no longer active in the military, and Sunday his Mother's Day.

(31:19):
Don't mess it up. Don't mess it up. Sunday is
Mother's Day. The Entertainer Report is next French show back
into Kaylen's entertainer Report. He is on the press show.
But Jason, yes, answering phones, texting, running operations behind the
scenes and doing the entertainer reports.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
That's how we do it around here.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yes, every woman, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 6 (31:42):
So yeah, I'm in for Kaylin right, yeah, so that that.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
Is right, Mela and several other people too.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
All right, So, one of my favorite couples right now
had a super awkward moment at an awards show in Rome.
So shortly after they went red Car official for the
first time, which is crazy because they've been together for
two years. Kylie Jenner and Timothy Shallamey, who I just
love I want to pick him up and put in
my pocket, were in the crowd and Timothy won a
huge award, and while getting up out of his seat,

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

Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was so awkward.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
I felt so bad for her. Kylie played it off
really cool, but it was definitely super cringe and how
the internet is dragging that, But that's okay. They are
so in love and so hot that it doesn't even matter.
Former American Idol judge Simon coll did a podcast interview
and was asked what people say to him most when
they stop him on the street. So he said that fans,

(32:48):
he said, particularly Americans, used to ask him all the
time to be rude to them, which he would normally
turn down. But he said normally, so that also means
that Simon Kle was walking around just being mean to
people on the street.

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Which clocks.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
However, one couple wanted to get his critiques a little
bit more intimately, they actually offered him one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to judge them while they got it on,
so he called it. They wanted his sexpert opinion.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Is this the guy from Facebook?

Speaker 6 (33:19):
I don't know. Maybe maybe we'll have to ask him one.

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

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Right once Kiki finds the man on Facebook, if you
could ask him if this is him? And Simon said
that he thought about it, but ultimately politely declined And
he doesn't really give me like putting it down energy.
So I don't really know if I would trust his
opinion on that, would you?

Speaker 4 (33:44):
I don't think so. Yeah, no, but I know where
to go.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
I mean, if the guys, if you, if you're trying
to have a baby, I mean, we're gonna and people
are texting about that story about the guy who will
has one hundred and ninety kids from Facebook and he'll
help you. He'll help you for one hundred and thirty
three dollars per session. No, well was he cute? You know?

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

Speaker 5 (34:01):
We need to find his picture. But no, I don't know.
I know where to go for this. I don't need
to go there.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
Yeah, exactly. Assimon doesn't pop into my head at all
when I'm thinking about that. And finally there's an update
on that crazy situation with Jennifer Aniston from earlier this week,
so I think Kylen told you about it. But a
man named Jimmy Wayne Carwile who was arrested Monday after
allegedly driving through the gates of Jennifer's mansion in bel Air.
Her guards actually had to hold him at gunpoint until
Cobbs came and arrested him will He was a reigned

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

(34:49):
all laws.

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

Speaker 6 (34:51):
But he was to obey all the laws. Got it okay.
His bond was set at one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars and once he's found mentally competent, the trial will
seed so you can catch up on everything you missed
from our show and the free Heart Radio app. Just
search the Fred Show and demand and while you're there,
make us a pre set. Please, thank you Jason. Good
morning everyone on Mother's Day weekend. Again, I'm gonna remind
you all morning. Make sure I don't know what you

(35:13):
got to do, but make sure you don't mess up
Mother's Day. Get your mom something, all right, Yes, do it.
And for those of you who are wondering, the suitcase
is not going to be the Mother's Day gift.

Speaker 5 (35:21):
I got something else too, good for the peop Yeah,
for the people I was trying to get away with that,
I was. I was regretting an early Mother's Day gift.
And then I was like, do I have to circle
back again? Of course I do. And don't worry.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Is it a plane to get to go? Along with
the suitcase? I like to come to Rome.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
Okay, we might know the guy. What's funny is that
there are people listening to him. I realize this shows
on many places, but there are people listening to us
as we're based in Chicago who probably.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
Know the guy.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
Yes, that's how I found out that he was a
principal at a school in a certain neighborhood because my
friend went to.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
That grammar school and that was the principal.

Speaker 5 (36:05):
I don't know why the pope being you know, always
it always seems so distant to me. I mean, he's
the pope, which is very distant from me. But I
mean I just felt like, you know, because he typically
was from another country and and you know, I don't know,
it just always felt it felt like something that would
would I would never connect with really right outside of
being a Catholic and what his role is. But then

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

Speaker 4 (36:33):
Like wa did?

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Right, Yep, that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (36:35):
Right, It's really crazy, and the city's obviously very excited
about it. So and I guess we might be seeing
him soon. So waiting on the phone is new. We'll

good morning, welcome to the program.

Speaker 4 (38:21):
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
Wow, Nick, you already sound distrust It's We've said this before,
but it's always wild to me that we check in
with people and they're I'm like, you know, you think
you're being ghosted. So you call the show and I'm like, hey,
how you doing, and they're like, I'm great, but Nick
doesn't sound great?

Speaker 4 (38:37):
What's going on? No, Yeah, I appreciate you having me on.
It's Uh. So I went on a date.

Speaker 10 (38:44):
With this girl that I had been on Hinge and
I invited out to dinner and she, I mean she
was like perfect and when I met her in person,
she was even like way hotter than I had seen online,
which was you know, which is she's great. But it
made me really nervous and I really want to see

(39:05):
her again. I thought, I thought the dinner went great,
but uh, she's she's never called me back, okay, and
she want to respond to it tax either or anyway.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
I mean that's exciting when when you're looking forward to
meeting someone because you're attracted to them, on the app,
and let's face it, that said the apps are all
about it's all about hot or not until you meet
in person and then you get to engage the chemistry.
But then you show up to this date and she's
hotter than you already thought she was. Yeah, like, how
don't mean to make this worse. I don't mean to
rub this. I really you're being ghosted, as I've said,

(39:33):
but I don't. I don't mean to, you know, but
but I mean, you know, sometimes it goes the other way.
We've heard that before too, where like the pictures are
old or you know, they've been aditated or whatever. So
you show up and she's everything you wanted her to
be and more, and you were excited about where this
was going. Except you haven't heard from her, and you
I assume you've reached out since the day tried to
plan another one. She's not responding Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, okay, yeah.

(39:57):
Well look, let's see if we can figure this out.
We're gonna call Marina, the woman that you met on
hinge in just a second. We're gonna ask these questions
on your behalf. And the hope is always is that
we can straighten this out. Set you guys up on
a second date and pay for it.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Okay, cool, thank you, I really appreciate it. Let's see
what's up in part two.

Speaker 5 (40:14):
Waiting out the phone after Gracie abrams, You've got to
hear this in two minutes. It's the French Show. Don't move,
Gracie rubs The French Show on the radio. On the
iHeart app, you can listen live and anytime. Get caught up.
Search for the French Show on demand and make us
a preset. Hey, Nick, okay, welcome back. Let's call Marina.
You met on Hinge. You were really attracted to her.
She was better looking in person than you expected her

(40:36):
to be, and you already thought she was gonna be
hot based on the picture.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
She was hotter in person.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
You had a great night with her, except you haven't
heard from her since to date. You've reached out, you
tried to plan something. She's not responding. You want to
know why. Yeah, yeah, no, you sound very sad about this.
Let's get at the bottom of this and hope for
the best. Good luck, Nick. Hello, Hi is this Marina?

Speaker 7 (41:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (41:03):
I Hey Marina, good morning. My name is Fred. I'm
calling from the Fred's Show. The morning radio show, and
I do have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Can we chat for just a second, would you mind?

Speaker 7 (41:14):
I guess fine.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
Well, I know it's kind of strange, but thank you
for taking a call. We're calling out. We have a
dude named Nick. He says that he met you on
Hinge and you guys recently went out to dinner. I
hope you remember this guy.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yeah, I remember him.

Speaker 5 (41:27):
Okay, Well, I see he had nice things to say
about you. We just talked to him, except he's kind
of sad because he says he's reached out to you
since today, tried to plan another one and he can't
get a hold of you. So what's going on.

Speaker 4 (41:38):
Well, yeah, we.

Speaker 7 (41:40):
Went out to dinner and he said some really bizarre
things like okay, so when we first sat down, like.

Speaker 9 (41:49):
Like I talked about like I was like, whoa, that.

Speaker 7 (41:52):
Breadstick is huge, like we have like huge breadsticks or
whatever they served us.

Speaker 9 (41:56):
And he said something like there's such thing as too
big though, right, And I like thought he was joking, But.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Like a second, we have stuff because I want to
know where they serve the frank and breadsticks.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
I mean, did you go to Olive Garden? I mean,
where could I get me a frank?

Speaker 5 (42:13):
I was going to say, there is no such thing
as a breadstick that's too big in my opinion, I
just have you know, if that if that's the size
of the breadstick, if it comes it looks like one
of those bagyettes from you know, France, then that's a
single serving and I'm eating it.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Yeah, give me some butter.

Speaker 5 (42:28):
Not the point though, so he said to you, He said,
to you, there's such a thing as too big of
a bread stick.

Speaker 7 (42:34):
Yeah, okay, a breadstick, so like and fine, like he
he wasn't laughing, which is really weird. But then later
on in the date he like made some sort of
other like comment about how he's pretty average sized and
like nothing special, which.

Speaker 9 (42:54):
What which I thought, like, first of all, like that's
a lot for a date for a date, but like
I assumed he was just doing the like under promised
over deliver thing.

Speaker 7 (43:05):
I don't know, it's weird.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
But then like.

Speaker 9 (43:09):
But then he said later like I can't believe I
have to say this on the radio. But after he
had some strings, he like confided in me.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
How he was like.

Speaker 9 (43:18):
Self conscious about the size of and like he was upset,
like he had tears in his eyes. Like I don't
know what was weird. I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
I didn't know what to do.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
It was like it was like a beam on the
state and a bread stick makes himself gone. I mean again,
a breadstick oftentimes would make most people self conscious. But
then again, I'm really not thinking about that when the
breadsticks come to the table, Like that's not the first
thing I think of.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Is how would I compare?

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Right?

Speaker 5 (43:46):
No, no, So this is obviously something that weighs on
him because apparently nothing, nothing fallic, can come to the
table without some sort of.

Speaker 4 (43:56):
Did you order a canoli?

Speaker 6 (43:57):
God forbid?

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Don't you dare?

Speaker 1 (44:01):
So?

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (44:01):
So you struck a chord with this guy like he
he feels self conscious about his you know, himself.

Speaker 9 (44:09):
I guess I don't know what I did to make
build subconscious about himself because we were at a restaurant.

Speaker 7 (44:16):
And nothing was happening other than dinner eating.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
It was a strange for me.

Speaker 4 (44:23):
It was a.

Speaker 5 (44:24):
Strange Yeah, that is that is a very strange thing,
and not you know, not putting your best foot forward. No,
no pun intended. It is not a foot but Nick,
I forgot to mention that Nick is here. Marina, I'm sorry,
I'm very forgetful. I get caught up in the story
and oh Nick, why why would we go there?

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Right? Like, it didn't take but a few minutes.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
The bread comes, like within five minutes, Like why are
we already reflecting on our you know, perceived inadequacies, Like oh, like,
come on, you know, I'm sorry you feel this way,
but like if you know, that's not really selling ourselves.

Speaker 11 (44:56):
Is it, uh in Marina, Yeah, I'm just yeah, I guess,
but I kind of feel like, isn't it normal, Like
you know, like kind of everyone's so conscious about that
is normal?

Speaker 5 (45:10):
Within five minutes in the first date to let your
date know that you may be not.

Speaker 4 (45:16):
Pack right right right?

Speaker 5 (45:19):
No? No, no no. And I think there are other
ones that I think you could have made up for it,
like if she liked you. I think there are ways
you can make up for these kind of things. So
maybe or you know, if.

Speaker 8 (45:31):
It what, I'm just the way to know you to
tell us the way, I I don't know.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
I mean, I feel like I don't know, there's nothing
good that's going to come from you immediately telling someone
that you feel inadequate about a part of your body,
because then it automatically is going to lead to more
attention to that thing.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
Right, So if you are.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
A little bit less than others, then there's you called
attention to it yourself. Like, why would you do that?
Why would you shoot yourself in the foot in that way?

Speaker 1 (46:03):
I don't know, I would.

Speaker 10 (46:05):
I figured i'd address it and not, you know, just
like I don't know.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
That's no. Let her be surprised.

Speaker 6 (46:12):
You know, I appreciate the openness, what but not right
away because if that's something that I really care about,
not me personally, but if I did, why am I
going to go? Like, however, many dates until I find out?

Speaker 5 (46:27):
Okay, but let me see, Mareena, let me ask you this.
So let's say you really liked Nick and it did
get to the phase where you know that is exposed,
you know, contensually, and that's what you wanted. I mean,
I mean, I would imagine that there's a range that's acceptable, right,

(46:48):
And it would probably depend we're being honest, it would
depend on how much we like the person. And maybe
it's like more of a big picture thing where like
let's see what you can do with it kind of thing,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
Like, am I right? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (47:00):
Yes, I just like I don't know.

Speaker 9 (47:04):
I just I think part of it is also like
I don't think it's like normal, Like I don't think
a lot of people are that self conscious, and I
just don't know.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Not to compare ourselves to bring it up immediately, you know,
within five minutes you cry.

Speaker 9 (47:18):
About it on a first date. But yes, like if
once you like get into that stage, like no, you
see where you go. But like I don't know, I
just feel like weird about.

Speaker 5 (47:28):
I feel bad for him, like I actually knew, but
I mean, we can't be crying about our inadequacies within
five minutes of a date, like we just can't.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Like that hurt before you could tell like keep.

Speaker 4 (47:37):
Okay, but we gotta hold it together.

Speaker 6 (47:38):
We got we got before.

Speaker 5 (47:42):
I don't care if it's your ex or you're whatever
you're thinking lang or whatever it is, like you can't
you cannot start, you know, or you feel like you
have small hands or I don't know what. You can't
just like start crying on a date, And I'm sorry
for you. Nick, that you feel this way, and I'm
hoping maybe you're just being ultra self critical, but like,
I think that just shows weakness off, off the top,

(48:03):
and I don't think that's always of It's not going
to be attractive very often ever.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
Oh God, he's about to cry right now.

Speaker 5 (48:15):
Okay, don't cry, don't cry. Everything's fine, it's good. No
breadsticks are present, everything's good. No one's comparing anything right now.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
It's all about the motion.

Speaker 5 (48:23):
Well, see, that is kind of what I was saying,
kicking you're trying to disagree with me, was that I
think I think I know when I said that earlier,
you know, and you said to me, you were like, oh,
I want to I want to hear the ways. And
what I'm saying is I feel like there are people
out there that can make up for stuff with other things,
and I think there are people that have the tools

(48:45):
that don't know how to use the tools. So I
feel like, you know, you could have been Okay, Nick,
you just we just don't need to be calling attention
to it, is all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Can lead with that, he says, I might not look
like the breadstick, but I can do this and this
who is.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Too soon.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
If the bread sticks alone, let me get mushrooms, let
me get through the salad first. I mean.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Transparency.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
No it's not.

Speaker 5 (49:17):
Sometimes there is such a thing as too transparent. This
man was see through. Okay, all right, Look I'm Marina.
I'm gonna ask the question. He sounds like a nice guy.
He's sad, he's really broken up about it.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
He liked you.

Speaker 5 (49:30):
Would you consider giving him another chance, maybe seeing what
he has to offer. I mean, he's called so much
attention to it now that it's going to be all
the focus.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
But maybe we give another shot. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 7 (49:43):
I know he's a nice guy.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
I just like.

Speaker 7 (49:46):
It was just too much for me on that first date.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
Not enough. But I don't know.

Speaker 7 (49:51):
I'm sorry it.

Speaker 5 (49:53):
Was too much. That's a weird way to end it. Nick, Look,
you seem like a nice guy. My advice to you,
not that you asked for it, but maybe maybe we
within maybe never do we bring that up. We just
sort of let things happen and see what happens from there.
Because maybe you're a very talented guy, Nick, and this
never would have been an issue.

Speaker 10 (50:13):
Yeah, yeah, okay, I mean I like to believe.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
There you go, there you go. That's so simple.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
There perfect Marina, thanks for taking it called good luck,
good luck. Caitlin's entertainment report is on the Fresh Shows
Take it Away and for Kaylen today.

Speaker 6 (50:30):
Yes, thank you all right. So Jennifer Lopez and Ben
a Flack are still trying to sell the home they
bought together during their last brief marriage. Is kind of
like the last tie that's still binding them. So the
house has been on the market for over a year
and the two finally decided to drop the price yesterday
just to smooth eight million dollars And now the cost

(50:52):
is only sixty eight million dollars. So Pauline, I have
a great next property for you to add to your repertoire.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yeah, just a life sixty e mail lord.

Speaker 6 (51:00):
Yes, And I guess behind the scenes this is really
interesting to me. So Ben has been trying to get
Jlo to drop the price, and she's been the one
holding out, Like it seems like she's the negotiator between them,
like if I was going to go buy a used car,
like I'd bring Jaalo with me. Like she seems very stern. Probably,
but sources are saying that one of the biggest issues

(51:21):
why no one's buying is because of the fires in LA.
This is crazy. Insurance on the home would be five
hundred thousand dollars per year on top of what you're
already paying. But if they sell it for what they
have it listed for currently, they would still be making
an eight million dollar profit from when they bought it,
So I guess that would be great. Anyway, I really
didn't want to do a Blake Lively Justin Beldoni story. However,

(51:44):
this I will this when I read this so unhinged.
So this week, Blake's team said that she will one
hundred percent be testifying whenever this thing actually goes to court. Okay,
then Justin lawyers hit back and said that her testimony
should be I've streamed with tickets sold to Medisine Square Garden,

(52:04):
but this is actually insane. He did say that the
proceeds should go to help domestic violence victims, but Blake's
team obviously hit back and said this is a serious
matter and a serious allegation, not a publicity stunt. And
I just I can't wait for this child to be over.
But I'm like, now we're just saying things to say
things like just to make deadlines. And finally, this is
a story that I tease, so it pains me so

(52:25):
much to say this, but names are starting to come
forward of who is in line to replace my queen
Kelly Clarkson if she chooses to step down from her
talk show. Her contract is up next year, so that'll
be the time. That's gonna be kind of telling. If
you remember, she was actually off the show for a
couple weeks earlier, it was like last month due to

(52:48):
a quote personal matter, but never really spoke on it.
She came back and never really said anything about it.
Rumors are that she wants to move back down south
to Texas, where she's from, spend more time with her kids.
And the leading name right now to replace her is
hot a copy who left the Today Show back in January.

Speaker 5 (53:06):
Did you use a Today's Show to go do that?
But it was her show? I mean kind of you know,
Today's Show. It's a good gig. And then the other
thing where she you know, with Jenna Bush. I don't
know why would you. Maybe the scheduling, maybe the taping
schedules different, or not the early mornings anymore, or whatever,
But I don't know, why would you do that.

Speaker 6 (53:27):
To show, I guess, and it's got her name on it.
Like you said, Kiki, I don't know. The one source
called her the Egyptian older Kelly Clarkson, which is a
wild thing to say about.

Speaker 4 (53:36):
Okay, so she can sing like that, I guess. I
don't know a moment like this.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
Okay, I guess this is all being left up to
if Kelly's ninth album that's upcoming, and also if her
Vegas residency is successful, then she might just focus on music,
which honestly, I won't be sad about because that's what
I love her for and I want to do an
actual tour.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
But I don't know.

Speaker 6 (54:01):
I'm gonna miss singer on my TV every day. But
you can catch up in everything you missed from our
show in the free art radio app. Just search the
Fred Show on demand, and while you're there, make the
station a preset please.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
All Right, we're down like seven people today, so someone
has to run on the other room and call out.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Okay, I guess it's you. I guess it's you.

Speaker 5 (54:16):
Aesthetician Carisa a tiebreaker in the showdown, Kiki, and for
Showvin Shelley twenty nine and four is Kiki's record very impressive.
Only I think three more weeks of this game until
show Bi Shelley comes back from maternity leave, So then
you're off the hook. Yes, but may you may You're
probably gonna have way fewer than ten losses, like very impressive.

Speaker 4 (54:35):
Hey, hey, don't x me now, I mean you'd have
to start losing like a lot. I know, wow, don't
do it then, just don't do it.

five five nine one what O three five will stops
you out?

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
You got a son today? It's Friday. Let's go to.

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
Graduating from Loyola today. That biology smarty fans. Okay Emerson, Marie,
Julie and Jamie have a son today. DJ toronnic At,
DJ r ot Ice see One's entertainer report is on
the fresh grounded for Kaylin.

Speaker 6 (01:02:29):
Go yus, Thank you. So Acep. Rocky has teased the
name of his and girlfriends Rihanna third baby, just days
after we re debuted her baby bump at the met Gala.
So Aceap was on Late Night with Seth Myers earlier
this week and of course was asked what name they're
going with. Seth asked if the couple will continue with

(01:02:49):
their r tradition. So obviously the parents both both their
names start with R, and then their kids are Riza
and Riot, and Asap said for sure, confirming it will
start with an R. But this tea's may land a
step in some trouble with his lawyer because after he
won his court battle a little while ago.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
Yeah, his lawyer.

Speaker 6 (01:03:10):
Whose name I love, Joe Tacopina said he told the
media that the couple will be naming their next child
after him for getting him off on this case. And
Joe or Tacopina doesn't start with an R, so sounds
like a steplied and that isn't going to happen, right,

(01:03:32):
not going to jail, So it appears that's not going
to happen. But I do think that like Rizza Riot
and Joe or Rizza Riot and Taco Pina, you know right,
that goes pretty well. So what happens right, all right,
So there might be some hope for Bill Belichick. He
may be calling in the big guns.

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
You guys.

Speaker 6 (01:03:49):
So after that crazy misshap on CBS with his twenty
four year old girlfriend Jordan Hudson inserting herself.

Speaker 4 (01:03:55):
Acting protective services, well, I'm about.

Speaker 6 (01:03:58):
To write maybe specialists, Yeah, yeah, DCFS first and then
so you know, she was acting like she was his rep.
She was absent this week from a panel that he
did at n YU. Okay, she was not there, but
you know who was there, former Bears Vice president of Communications,

(01:04:22):
Brandon Faber. So it sounds like he might actually have
real representation. Yes, And what's even weirder is that she
was in town and had planned to attend this panel
and then ended up not going.

Speaker 5 (01:04:38):
But growing up in the room, Yes, you're George don
might be a nice person, but I think growing up
I don't know where, I've never met her, whatever, but
I used time.

Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
For It's time for the grown up to take over now.

Speaker 5 (01:04:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:04:51):
So, I mean the rumors are saying that she may
not be as influential in his career as people are saying.

Speaker 7 (01:04:56):
That she is.

Speaker 6 (01:04:58):
And his appearance went off fine. There were no problems.
There wasn't any crazy lady in the corner with crazy
eyes screaming. It was all good. Nowhere yet a favor
who has been in the industry for twenty years. He
worked with the Blackhawks, the Bulls as well. I don't
know if he's permanent or temporary because she's preoccupied right
now with the MISS main pageants, which he's competing, so we'll.

Speaker 5 (01:05:20):
See, you know, Jason, either he's senile, which I don't believe,
or to her credit, Jordan got that thang because you
must have that and one or the other, because how
could you get a man who is that capable and
has navigated his way through that many things, I mean
to become arguably the most prolific pro football coach. Ever,

(01:05:43):
He's dealt with all the biggest stars, he's dealt with
the NFL, he's dealt with the media and the press conferences,
and yet you think you know more than him, or
he's not saying anything about it. Either he's not present,
which I don't believe, or she's got that thang yep,
in which case, congratulations on that thing.

Speaker 4 (01:06:02):
It's always the.

Speaker 6 (01:06:03):
Crazy ones that got the thing, you know.

Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
Unfortunately, if we could have a moment of silence, probably
all the things I've followed for that were nuts.

Speaker 4 (01:06:14):
Story of mind.

Speaker 5 (01:06:15):
Actually that's the name of my memoir. All the things
I've followed for.

Speaker 4 (01:06:24):
My friend A volume miss, a multi volume memoir.

Speaker 6 (01:06:30):
A molistic molist them. So finally I gotta give some
resolution to this Cyrus family drama that Kaylen told you about.
So Tish Cyrus has spoken out after she appeared to
unfollow Miley Cyrus on Instagram this week. So, like Kaylen said,
a Cyrus fan account clocked that Tis unfollowed Miley, and
this came just hours after Billy Ray Cyrus shared a

(01:06:52):
post alluding to Miley and him were like reuniting and
as you know, Billy Ray and Tish don't get along.
It's very convoluted. Well, fans did flunny flooding Tish's comments,
saying why did you stop following Miley? And why did
you block Miley? And so Tish had enough, just like
Fred jumped in the comments herself saying had no idea
how this happened, but it's fixed now and now we're

(01:07:13):
all back together. She's back following her now. Like I'm
very aware that parents don't know how to use social media,
Like my dad inboxes the Fred Show all the time,
thinking he's talking to me.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
He's not.

Speaker 6 (01:07:25):
But the timing is just really funny for me that
Billy Ray posted this right and then all this went down.
I don't know, I feel like it was on purpose.

Speaker 1 (01:07:33):
Sometimes you just need to block your kids.

Speaker 8 (01:07:35):
Shout out to all the mom's out there, like sometimes
you just put the kids on a black list.

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
It's Mother's Day, weekend follow If you want to block me,
just block me.

Speaker 1 (01:07:42):
It's fine.

Speaker 6 (01:07:42):
You want to see the crazy stuff I'm up to,
It's fine.

Speaker 4 (01:07:44):
Yeah, my mom is the same thing.

Speaker 5 (01:07:46):
My mom will she'll she'll DM the show, or she'll
DM me thinking it's everybody, or she'll DM you know
someone's talking about somebody out I'm like, mom, just you
got my number.

Speaker 4 (01:07:59):
Just call.

Speaker 5 (01:07:59):
I'll pass the the message from my daily air check
that I get from my mom where she calls and
tells me what she liked and didn't like.

Speaker 4 (01:08:06):
So it's fine. Social media can be confusing, Okay, he
can be.

Speaker 6 (01:08:11):
I'm starting to get confused, which means I'm starting to
get up there too. I don't know how to do
some stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
Have you ever seen I mean, I'm not that old.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
You ever seen me make a video on TikTok's it's
giving it's giving, Elder.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
Like my videos are giving, Boomer. I'm okay with that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:25):
You know, same same.

Speaker 6 (01:08:28):
You can catch up with everything you missed from our
show in the free art radio app. Just search the
French show on the Man and while you're there, make
the station a preset.

Speaker 5 (01:08:34):
Another animal fun fact for you, because I feel like
there's just so many animal kingdom facts I have if
I can keep them all straight. I got that in
just a second. And the biggest stories at the day quickly.
We have a new pope everyone, and he's from Chicago
and more importantly, I suppose maybe same as important, same
importantly depending on where you're listening. He is American, which

(01:08:54):
is it's never happened, and I don't think anyone ever
thought it was going to happen, including the Pope.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:09:01):
According to his brother, they were playing Words of Friends
a couple of days ago and talking about Conclave, the
movie seriously, and he said, there's no way I'll be
the Pope because there won't be an American pope. But
they have chosen the Catholic Church of first American Pope,
Cardinal Robert Francis Privos, was elected by his fellow cardinals
on Thursday. The sixty nine year old is a native

(01:09:21):
of Chicago. He served for two decades in Peru Versus
a missionary and then as an archbishop the Pope Francis.
The former pope, brought him to the Vatican in twenty
twenty three to lead a powerful office that vets the
nomination of bishops from around the world. This guy went
to Villanova. He's going to be chose his chosen name,
Pope Leo. He's tied for the fourth most common name

(01:09:44):
among popes that they choose, I guess, along with Clement Clement.
And he's also, this is shocking to me, the two
hundred and sixty seventh Pope. I didn't realize there were
that many popes. But you know, I'm also not a theologian,
a theologian Catholic Church historian, it turns out. But congratulations

(01:10:04):
to him into the Catholic Church and to the city
of Chicago. The I guess was the south Side. He's
a Southsider. And I continue to be amazed that a
guy who is the Pope, one of the most powerful
figures in the world, each at Portillo's just like I do, right,
you know, I'm assuming, I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (01:10:22):
Yeah, he loves Garrett's popcorn. I'm sure like he's out here.

Speaker 4 (01:10:25):
I don't know what his favorite beef is.

Speaker 5 (01:10:26):
Could be Johnny's beef, could be, could be OUs, who knows,
but the man certainly knows what he's talking about the
state of Virginia will enforce a new law restricting children
under sixteen to just one hour of social media use
per day unless parents provide consent. No word on how
they're actually going to enforce this or how they're going

(01:10:46):
to stop kids from just getting a fake account and lying.
Bill Gates announces his plan to give virtually all of
his money away ninety nine percent of his estimated two
hundred billion dollar fortune over the next two decades, and
to close this foundation by twenty forty five, giving it
all the way. This is a controversialist this morning that
I think had a lot of people upset. But bet way,

(01:11:10):
whatever that is has analyzed fifty of the most populated
cities across the US, ranking them as far as how
cool they are, Okay, and this is how they decided
what a cool city is. How many murals they have,
how many the average age of residents, how many vegetarian
and vegan bars and restaurants there are, the number of

(01:11:30):
record stores, and the number of upcoming music events and
tattoo parlors. Boston is won, Vegas, Portland, San Francisco, and
Seattle in the top five. Chicago did not make the
top fifteen, nor did New York City.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
Oh that'shazy. I think it's kind of nuts.

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
Krispy Kreme is going to, I guess, kind of pause
their partnership with McDonald's, which is okay.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
Why did they get a reason?

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
No, they didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
And you know, I love a krispy Kreme doing it,
but we don't necessarily need to make them easier to
act SSS.

Speaker 4 (01:12:01):
I mean, you know, make it a.

Speaker 5 (01:12:05):
Little tougher, a little tougher for me to get and
just they don't have to be just sitting there next
to the dripping bag of McDonald's that I absolutely enjoyed.
And this guy's making news today. His name is Rob
and he's fifty four. Rob. Look this guy and to
see if he's a good look here, Rob Albon. Not
that it matters, but I would be curious. He must
be charismatic or something, because he's fathered one hundred and

(01:12:27):
ninety children through private sperm donations, calling himself the poor
man's eaton Musk. He shares Musk's concern about declining birth rates,
and he's decided to be a vigilante and take this
on himself. He's operating outside regulated medical systems. He advertises
his services on Facebook and engages in natural insemination, which is,

(01:12:48):
you know, the normal way, not the way that most
people go about this process, for one hundred and thirty
three dollars per session. He claims that his proprietary methods,
including specific timing and positions, well increased pregnancy chances. No,
there's there's no scientific backing for the claims. He says
he keeps in contact with about sixty of his offspring.

(01:13:08):
His practices, not surprisingly, have drawn legal scrutiny, including a
public warning from a Welsh judge and an arrest war
in Wisconsin for unpaid child supports. He now says that
he's only limiting his services to creating siblings for his
existing offspring.

Speaker 4 (01:13:22):
Of course that's the guy.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Yeah, he's not cute, it's not giving.

Speaker 5 (01:13:25):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:13:25):
I'm good, I'm that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
I see why he did his little scam.

Speaker 4 (01:13:29):
Right, wait a minute, can we verify this?

Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
Because you know, I don't believe everything I read on
the text messages rob, nor do I take most of
it seriously. However, according to one texture, they just banned
Jordan from the UNC football facility.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
Right, I think?

Speaker 6 (01:13:46):
Oh yeah, Yahoo reported it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
Wow, thank you for the text then see we trust
and verify trust but verify. Yes, is that we have
to do with the text Esnational Sleepover Day, National Military
Spouse Appreciation Day, that's an important one. Shout out to
Mi not and norfolking everywhere where there are military bases
and yes, military minds. Well, no, it would be what

(01:14:13):
we appreciate him to do. I guess National Childcare Provider Day,
National Moscato Day, National Loss socc Memorial Day, and National
home Front Heroes Day, which honors millions of civilians past
and president who provides support to service members from the
home front. See fun fact. We'll do it next day.
Here more pread shown next, Bread's fun fact.

Speaker 3 (01:14:35):
Bread's fun so much?

Speaker 4 (01:14:45):
Guys, did you know?

Speaker 5 (01:14:46):
Did you know that dogs have a unique nose print
that is similar to a human's fingerprint. No, yeah, that's right.
So don't you know, I don't know. The cops come around,
don't let them swipe the nose. You'll find out what
they've been up to any crime. Dogs have a unique

(01:15:08):
nose print that is similar to a human's fingerprint.

Speaker 4 (01:15:12):
There you more print shall next
