Speaker 3 (00:47):
Wait wait, wait, wait, don't want.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
To talk to people who are like, my kid's kind
of a dumbass.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Me say it like that, but you know what I mean, Like, yeah,
everybody everybody knows.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Fred show is on.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
And parents called and said their kids were dumb in
front of them, and then kids were like, mom, call
I'm dumb. That's that's the kind of parent child relationship
that I'm looking for, you know what I mean, that
kind of honesty that's real. You know what soun daughter,
You're gonna be good at something, which just might not
be math. I don't think everyone's supposed to be good

(01:29):
at math.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
It's like when when you're in school and you're expected
to get a's and everything. You know, you're expected to
get good grades and everything, and it's like, in retrospect,
I get that you have to like meet a minimum
standard of like math or English or whatever. Your basic
understanding is of the tasks you know, science or social

(01:52):
studies or whatever, but maybe we should be paying more
attention to what people actually do well in and then
focusing on that, like you know. Then again, I don't know,
I didn't really get very good grades in much of anything,
so I guess my teachers would have been like, well,
we don't know what to focus on for you though.
But then like in college, I started doing well in
English because like writing papers and I don't know, reading

(02:12):
and writing and critical thinking or whatever, and then some
professor was like, hey, you're pretty good at this, and
that's all I needed to hear. And then all of
a sudden, I started doing well and all that stuff,
and then I became an English major, and thank god
I got this job, because what the heck would I
do with an English degree?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Paulina, Oh you have one too, never mind?

Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, all right next to each other. I'm on your left.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
It was law school or English teacher, and there's nothing
wrong with either one of those options. But I don't
think I would have been I don't know I would
have been a good lawyer. I don't think I would
have been a very good English teacher. And so here
we are. It worked out okay, But yeah, maybe you
don't have to be kids is a school? Yeahs at school? Yeah,
you don't have to be good at everything. It's okay.

(02:51):
Just figure out what you are good at it and
then get acceptable grades in those things, and then do
really well on the things that you are good at
and then follow your path. Look at me, look at you.
I'm like I'm like Joel Ostine. I'm a motivational I'm
doctor Phil, I'm a motivational speaker. I'm like Jerry Springer
and his final word at the end of the show,

(03:13):
there's final thought.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think it was called.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Man and you went you went to Jerry Springer I
did with your mom.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
My mom for her birthday. What was the topic of
the day or there were there more than.

Speaker 5 (03:24):
One, don't even remember. I remember it was cheating obviously.
I just remember like in the breaks, they would take
each of the people like to those little doors in
the back, and like the producers would be like talking
to them. So my thought is they were like trying
to like wrap them up so they would really come
back on break, you know. And then a woman right
in front of us got her Jerry beads. So that

(03:46):
was memorable that I think it was in college. Okay,
so that's a great nice to do with mom, go
see Jerry Springer together. Yeah, we used to watch like
if we were ever in life, I was ever homesick
or whatever, just like I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
We always thought it was funny. So then I took
her sweet.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
We got on topics about it before because the show
was produced in Chicago, so every now and again people
will call up for texts who were involved with the show.
But you know, I used to hear that they would
they would like producers, that's what they would do. They
would they would take the opposing parties and put them
in separate rooms and walk in and like be total instigators. Yeah,
you know, hey, I'm not supposed to I'm not supposed
to tell you this, but like I know, I'm not

(04:25):
like I'm not supposed to say anything. But they're over
there saying that you're like at that has like all
like male and female parts. That's what they're saying over there. Yeah,
and it's just this was in the nineties, man, so
that was that was wild. They could stuff that stuff,
but that was a crazy take.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
They're saying, what about me?

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Huh oh, you know, they're like they're saying they're saying,
you're like you slept with the entire time. I mean,
I'm not supposed to tell you that or whatever, but
like that's what they're saying. And they would go over
there and be like, you know what they're saying about you,
I'm not supposed to say this, and then by the
time they come out, they're completely charged, they're.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Ready to go yeah, and then yeah, they would go
right at it.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
I I do remember.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
It's a lot of also like choreography, like you're doing
a lot of up down, up down, Jerry Jerry chat
clap stand up, like it was like a lot of
like you work, but you're in when you're in the audience.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Hard work, Yeah, uh huh yeah, it work for it.
Morning Everyone, Tuesday, July twenty ninth, The Fred Show's on.
Hi Kalin, good morning, Hi Jason Brad, Hi Pauline. He's
on vacation Bella. It means here show be Shelley. It
will be here next hour, and she's got money. Seven
to fifty is the prize over one thousand wins, ten
straight winds in a row. That's what straight means in

(05:31):
that in that context, can you be the gorilla and
get your money? The Entertainment Report will do blogs and
headlines this hour. What are you working on?

Speaker 6 (05:38):
K Sydney Sweeney is getting absolutely annihilated right now for
a new ad that she did and I'm gonna play
it for you and we'll talk about it.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I've become I'm afraid maybe I've become the overly competitive guy.
Like I'm I'm pretty competitive guy when it comes to like,
you know, work, and I don't know ratings and and
and like I don't know just doing well, I suppose
because if we don't, then we get fired. So that
you know, it's kind of that. So that's why you know,

(06:09):
listening to US is so important. You have many choices
in your radio listening, but when you tune into US,
it's important. Like our days are a little brighter, our
weeks are a little stronger.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
We get to keep our job for another year. It's
very exciting.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
But there's an internal contest, and I guess it's a
contest about about something that's internal about business generating business.
And I saw the spreadsheet yesterday for this thing, and
I'm like, this isn't right. I'm number one. I should
be at I'm supposed to be at the top. Like,
wait a minute, there's stuff missing on this spreadsheet that
I did. Wait a minute, wait a minute, Mick Lee,

(06:42):
it's not number one. I'm number one, And so I
like threw it. I didn't throw a fit, but I
wrote the guy and I was like, wait a minute,
this isn't right. And I feel like I'm becoming that guy.
But it's not right. I don't even know what you get.
I don't even care you guys. Can you guys can
have the prize, it doesn't matter. I looked at the spreadsheet.
I'm like, wait a minute, it's missing stuff.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
Exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Why is it missing stuff?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Why?

Speaker 2 (07:07):
I wrote Jacob Matizi who works here, I say it's
missing stuff. I go, dude, what are you doing? And
then and then he wrote me back this whole thing.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Love it. Thank you for keeping me honest.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
He told me, like he feels bad about it, you
don't have to feel bad about it. It's a bunch
of clouds around here that don't want me to be
a winner. They don't want me to have nice things.
This place doesn't want me to have nice things. They've
made it very clear. So but is that am I
terrible for that? Or like, is it it's not I'm

(07:37):
not a rules guy, Like I'm not the guy they're
like rules.

Speaker 4 (07:41):
No, I'm so glad you don't talk like that.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Well, you know, we all know.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
The people that like you can't play a game with
them because if they're not winning, then they've got a
problem with it.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, and you don't play games at.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
All games Okay, every single game, I really did.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
But in your friend group or like an eat work group, whoever,
there's always the guy that or the girl that's just
like the rule or and usually this stuff starts to
come out when if they're not winning, and like the
people who aren't winning, then they can't have any fun,
and then you can't have any fun because they're not winning.
We all know those people. I'm not that guy. I
don't care like A in a basic context, I don't

(08:20):
care who win. Like if we're playing who, I don't
really care who wins. It doesn't really matter. If we're
playing Monopoly, nobody wins because nobody has anyone ever seen
the end of a Monopoly game ever?

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Has anyone ever finished?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't even know when you're done, Like what am
I done with Monopoly? When I have all the money
and you won't have any money because you can rant
and lease and airbnb you know in Verbo all your properties,
So this could go on forever. So I don't know
how you know when anyone won Monopoly. But but yeah, no,
So I just I wonder, like should I feel bad
about this that I'm looking at this same I'm like,

(08:51):
this isn't this is not right.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
We can't have it, Like we can't have this. I
love that you did that you.

Speaker 7 (08:55):
Do yeah, because I feel like I'm in that era
right now where it's like I'm just gonna start speaking
up for myself and I feel like you kind of
did that because I think the old you would have
just been like, okay, I guess knowing damn well, that
you deserve that recognition.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
You deserve that whatever that is, that prize whatever. I
don't eve think you want the prize, But I just
feel like.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
I don't know what is the prize, A vacation day
or something, the trip trip you get a trip.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Oh maybe maybe I do want to win.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
Like you guys can't have it.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, but this contest is also flawed because it is
it's flawed.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Because we're supposed to do regardless.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, there's no not that I think we're being We're
being We're being competitive about something where certain people are
going to be requested more to do the thing than
other people. It's not more certain show well or certain
we are the number one show, So I mean we
are in a good position like somebody, but somebody, somebody

(09:53):
from this show should win.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Up, you're fourth, you're four days number one.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Damn I really fell off.

Speaker 7 (10:02):
You see me the whole market literally number one endorser.

Speaker 4 (10:06):
Look at it. Yeah, that's my president said in a meeting,
agree for you?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yes she was.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
I guess I didn't go to that meeting. Are you
the old guy?

Speaker 4 (10:13):
You were behind me?

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yet I tended not to go to meetings with the
old guy.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
But anyway, okay, so yeah, but I'm just looking at
this this wreadsheet here, and I'm just saying, well, no,
wait a minute.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
So I'm proud of you, but I don't want to
be that guy, you know.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
So, but I was that guy last night, I guess
I was sitting back at my couch watching, uh, watching
what's the show I was watching?

Speaker 3 (10:34):
Did this is? Also?

Speaker 8 (10:36):
What was that?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
What this freaking show? It's on Netflix? It's a stars show.
It just Oh Jesus, Fred Hayter Lauren's back. The ego
is strong this morning. Boy again, another day, another day
of Fred Hayter Lauren listening to the show again like
I've never known anyone to be so dedicated to something
they hate so much.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Thank you? Also, and what what was egotistical? What I said?
It was egotistical that we're number one?

Speaker 8 (11:01):
We are?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
What were you going to say?

Speaker 6 (11:04):
I was just gonna say, why would we not want
everyone to have like a decently sized ego and like
be like proud of themselves and work hard and think
that you do.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
I don't understand how that's ant.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
And by the way, I do have an ego, and
I encourage everyone in radio and media and quite frankly,
quite frankly in life to have at least some semblance
of value for yourself.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Dormatic.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Now there's a I think ego gets.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I mean, when people think of ego, they think of
someone who's obnoxious, and you know it is overplaying themselves.
I think you have to have a level of confidence,
especially if you're in the creative industry, because if you
don't think that what you're doing is good, then why
can you expect how can you expect anyone else to
think that?

Speaker 4 (11:42):
Then some hater is going to get to you. But
if you got an ego, it won't because it's like.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
It's like, like, at what point do you start to
feel bad about yourself for telling someone every day that
they suck that you're supporting. Yeah, no, apparently not apparently
the day. Apparently not four hundred days of it. So
maybe it's four oh one, Maybe it's four oh one.
You decide. And the thing is, I have no problem
with this person. I've done nothing to this human being.
What was the show that I was watching.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Last night This is Gonna Bother Me Stars.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
We were on.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
I'm on quite a rampage in the first ten minutes
of the show this morning. But I have a lot
of things in my mind. The show, it was a
Stars show. It just hit Netflix. It's about drugs. High
Town maybe was that what was called. There were three
seasons of it. It started I think it was twenty
twenty to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four or something
like that in Height Town. Okay, it's a little corny,

(12:31):
but it showed up on Netflix. It's about some d
about drug cops and Cape cod. It was on Stars.
A lot of drug there's a lot of sex in
this show. That's not why I watch it, because it
was like it was It's almost like that show that
I make fun.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Of that you were not you what's no tell me Lies?
Tell me Lies?

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Where like every moment of the show there's an occasion
to like get it on.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
But you said, that's not why I watch it, way
too fast, like we didn't ask you, and you.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Were like, there's a lot of that's not why I
watch it.

Speaker 8 (12:56):
But it's not.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
No, it's not why I watched it because I mean
there was some hotness in it, certainly some hotness, but like,
I don't know, it was like any opportunity there that
there is on this show for people to be naked
and dry humping, they take that opportunity and it's not necessary.
Just like can tell me lies you'll be like, hey,
you want to go get lunch y out, let's go.
Before long, they're just like doing each other. It's like,

(13:17):
why are we doing each I mean, that's a great
lunch but I don't know why, why do we have
to do that right now? But this is what's upsetting
me is it was a good show. I thought it
was a good show. We get to a very pivotal
point at the end of season three. I'm not going
to say anything in case you want to watch it,
and then I'm like, okay, cause like a lot of
Netflix shows, they'll buy or air the season of the
show after it's already aired on TV and there's been

(13:41):
a little bit of time between, right, Like so I
don't know. All American is an active show that they
show on YouTube. There's a bunch of shows on on
on Netflix.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Rather that they they.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
After a few months after the air they put them
up there so I was like, okay. So I guess
the end of twenty twenty four was when season three end,
and it would have been on pace for there to
be a season four, like sometime this year or early
next year. So I'm like okay. So I get to
the end of the three that are on Netflix and
I'm excited. I'm like, okay, I'm into this show, and
there a lot of things kind of came together and
I'm like, well, I wonder what happens next.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Only for me to go on the internet.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
To search when is there going to be a season
four of this show high Town, they canceled the show.
So it was devastating to me last night. Maybe that's
why I was in such a mood. I was devastated
because I was getting into the storyline and all this
stuff happened to the end of season three and you're like,
oh my god, this is a transformation in the show.
This is exciting. They clearly had no idea they were
going to get canceled, and I don't know why they did.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
I guess maybe no one watched the show or whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
But I'm very upset because there is no plan for
there to be another season of this show meeting, it's over, Like,
we'll never know what was going to happen. Even if
they know, we'll never know because I'm assuming they had
a four season written, but we'll never know.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
The only hope that I can I can come up
with is that maybe if this show because it was
I think it was top ten on Netflix yesterday, so
maybe if it grows in popularity on Netflix, maybe then
somebody buys it and then produces that, you know, further
seasons of it because it found popularity on Netflix. But
is there an example of that happening there? Probably is

(15:14):
that I can't think of it at the top of
my head, but like you would think that if a
show kind of died and then it goes on Netflix
and pops off, that okay, well wait a minute, maybe
we should make another season then, because like and put
it on there maybe Netflix, I think. Hasn't Netflix bought
shows before and done that? I think? So I'm sure
someone's gonna come up with an example. But I was

(15:34):
very upset about it, and that maybe that was I'm like,
wait a minute, so I'm never gonna know now now
what happens. That must be very upsetting too when you
when you've put, like, you got three season into a
show and you think it's going well, and then I mean,
and again, I never heard about it while it was
airing on Stars. So maybe that means that it wasn't,
you know, that popular of a show and they should

(15:55):
have canceled it.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
But the other thing that this tells me is every
time you get in on Netflix, there's another show that
you never knew existed that had aired for years and
I never knew. Like, it's impossible to know every show.
It's impossible. Money, Yeah, it's impossible. There's just so much stuff.
It's like, I would never have known this existed if
it didn't show up on like on the front page
of Netflix.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
So imagine all the stuff that's out that we.

Speaker 8 (16:17):
Don't know about.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Yeah, yeah, all right, well there you go. That's my rant.
So what did we cover? We covered Ego, We covered
this contest in the office that I just don't think
is right at all. We covered the TV show that's
not going to be renewed that I'm that isn't renewed
that I'm very upset about because they got to the
end of it and I don't know Pauline. I guess

(16:38):
this is the greatest employee. And I heard Chicago History.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I didn't know this.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
I was in the meeting where it was announced right there,
and I didn't know.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well, well, but you know, I probably did. I find
with you.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
You know, when I'm in those meetings, I pretend like
I'm on vacation, as you should. Yeah, I pretend like
I'm in Tahiti when I'm in those meetings.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
So I wasn't. Actually I was present in body, but
not in mind.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
The biggest of the day.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
There are a bunch of examples.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
I guess prison Break was one. People are saying they'd
liked High Town. Someone's saying that they kept their Star
subscription only for High Town. And then there was the
one person who watched it. They listened to us too,
Cobra Kai Netflix, we bought that from YouTube. Netflix did
that with Manifest, but they have asked it arrested Development

(17:24):
got New Life. Lucifer was another example. Okay, so it
does happen where a show doesn't necessarily do as well
the first time around, and then it gets popular on
Netflix and then they make more episodes.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
They should make more episodes of this show.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
A little cheesy, like I couldn't tell. Do you ever
watch a show and you're like sometimes I'm like this
is really really well done, and then then I'm like, okay,
but that was a lot of fake blood, you know
what I mean? Like IM like I am like, hold on, no,
wait a minute. Did the same person direct this episode
that directed the other way? Like I'm like, wow, this
is phenomenal acting like at times and then the other

(17:57):
time like this is really bad. But I I watched him,
but I was very sad to learn. Or have you
ever had the disappointment of watching a series and you
didn't realize that you were on the last episode and
then it's just over.

Speaker 3 (18:09):
Yes, that's devastating. It's devastating.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
So now I look to see the only problem with
looking to see how many episodes are left is then
you kind of then you kind of know that they're
about to wrap up the story or like.

Speaker 6 (18:22):
The screen grab is something that's a spoiler. I hate
when they do that.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Oh that's not good either.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, but I've done that where I'm like, Okay, good,
you know whatever, and I'm watching it. I'm having a
nice time, and I've got a bunch of episode I'm
into this show, like I know what I'm gonna do
the next couple of days, and then oh we're out
of episodes. That was it, and then in this case,
there won't be anymore. It's very upsetting. Anyway, I'm gonna
start a high town. We're gonna have like a little
group and we're gonna maybe we'll do like a a
discord or something, and we're gonna all get in there

(18:48):
and it probably already is one, and we're gonna talk
about all of our theories of what could have happened
and what would have happened. And then I'm gonna look
up all the actors on social media and I'm gonna
DM them and ask them what they think should have happened.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
It's gonna be great.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
It's a discord, I don't I don't actually know.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
I think it's a chat room. I see people talk
about it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I'm not a member of any disc I think it's
like a private chat room kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (19:09):
To get an invite to join people's discords. And then
it's like you can make different subject titles, so like
you could talk about like what you like eating, what
you're watching, like whatever.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
But it's no, no, it's free, so you had to
be like invited in kind of. So I'd take a
little chat room kind of thing. But I thought, you know,
I thought that was it seemed like the right time
to use the discord.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, no, I think you used it right. I just
don't get it.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
But to get in there headlines, guys, I got a
couple sad ones to start. Unfortunately, a gunman killed at
least four people in a Manhattan office building on Monday evening.
One of them was an off duty New York City
Police officers, shot while exchanging fire with the shooter in
the lobby. The suspect then disappeared into the skyscraper and
was found later with a self inflicted gunshot wound. The
Park Avenue building houses the offices of some major financial firms,

(19:53):
as well as the National Football League. Security footage showed
a gunman walking outside the building carrying a long gun
before for the shooting began. And for our Chicago fans
and for baseball fans everywhere, on Monday, the Cubs lost
one of its all time great sports icons the Chicago
community too, Chicago Cubs legend Ryan Samberg. He passed away

(20:15):
at the age of sixty five. According to the franchise,
he died in hospice care following copulation complications in his
ongoing battle with prostate cancer. The news comes after Samberg
announced his prostate cancer had relapsed and spread throughout his
body in December of twenty twenty four. That guy was
all over all over town, very involved with the Cubs
and all kinds of different organizations, an amazing ambassador for

(20:37):
the Cubs and for the city and for baseball and
the NFL legend and University of Colorado football coach Dean Sanders.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
This is a little bit better news.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
He said he beat cancer after undergoing the full removal
of his bladder in May. He said that he will
continue to coach this season, including the season opener against
Georgia Tech. The fifty seven year old former NFL and
college star appeared yesterday in a press conference with this doctor,
who said they removed the bladder and worked on the
insertion of a new bladder, and I am pleased to

(21:06):
report that the results in the surgery are that he
has cured from cancer. He said that he was diagnosed
with bladder cancer during a health checkup this spring. To everybody,
at least for the story number two and story number three.
Go to the doctor and get checked on regularly so
you can catch this stuff early. Hopefully this is for you, Paulina,
The death of Hulk Hogan might mean the death of Hooters.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
Wait wait, wait, two things are connected.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
As if Hulk Hogan's passing wasn't shocking and sad enough,
now you're talking about how he could have saved Hooters
and it may not happen now. A few months before
his death, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's beer brand, Real American Beer,
was in talks to acquire Hooter's intellectual property as part
of the Change Chapter eleven bankruptcy restructuring. Rather than taking
over the restaurants, he aimed to license the Hooter's name

(21:53):
for branded products, digital content, gaming, and consumer experiences. The
deal was seen as a way to preserve and modernize
Able American brand while expanding Hogan's growing lifestyle portfolio. However,
legal and financial hurdles, including liquor laws, borrowing alcohol brands
from owning restaurants, and potential resistance from Hooters creditors made
the acquisition uncertain.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
Paulina.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is where you step in with all of your
millions that you got from being the biggest and best
employee in iHeartRadio.

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Well my free tolls for the business and the one stepie.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
As well, you step in right now. Now is the
time you can save Hooters. You can do it.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
I've been thinking about it because someone's got to do it.
And if it's not me, then who you know?

Speaker 7 (22:31):
And here's the thing too, Like everyone talked about nostalgia,
all these things they want to just soak up in it.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
Why don't we just do that with Hooters.

Speaker 7 (22:36):
Why don't we all collectively come together society and save
Hooters because that'll save us.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Let's save Hooters and then all go there and watch
the new seasons of High Town that are going to
be made, because I'm going to say that this is amazing,
this is amazing.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
We can collab.

Speaker 3 (22:49):
We've done it.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
So this is a strange story Las Vegas and a
lot of sports stories this morning, but Las Vegas raiderstar
Christian Wilkins was released from the team after an unfortunate
kissing incident in the team's locker room. A witness said
that the kiss was on the head, it was playful,
but the unnamed recipient took offense to the act and
then reported him to human resources. So NFL players are

(23:13):
subject to human resources, which is a little wild. I mean,
of course they are their employees and it's an organization.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
But okay.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
ESPN clarified that the football player's release from the team
was not entirely due to the kiss. A foot injury
from last October also held the defensive tackler back. The
dispute stem from the Raiders team requiring him to undergo
a second surgery for his injury, but he failed to
do so. He joined the team in twenty twenty four,
signed a four year contract one hundred and ten million
dollars eighty four million guaranteed. Party from the team has

(23:42):
cost him the remainder of his contract, with about thirty
five point two effectively voided. But he'll be okay. But
he kissed a guy on the head and got fired
from the NFL.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Wow. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I honestly didn't know you could do that, believe it
or not, Based on everything I know about you know
the stories in the NFL the past few years, I
didn't realize that your behavior would actually get you kicked
off the team.

Speaker 9 (24:04):
Of all the things that have happened a lot of
things you kissed someone.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
On the forehead, you get kicked off the team.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
But the other stuff you can do, you can do
a lot of stuff you're not supposed to do. Famous
Yetti's Pizza in Wisconsin mistakenly used THHD infused cooking oil
last October and it left eighty five diners ages one
to ninety one, buzz dizzy and hallucinating. Three people went
to the hospital. Police seemed it an accident, and the
shop has since titan storage and apologized. I don't know

(24:32):
what they got a hold vat of THHD cooking oil for.
And I guess I'm surprised you don't get in more
trouble for that. But can you imagine if you didn't
know that you were consuming THHD and then you got high?
Like if you knew then I guess you might you
would expect it. But if you're ninety one years old, like,
is this the end?

Speaker 3 (24:52):
Is this? It? Is it happening now right this second?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
And a fifty four year old Texas man named Fritz
He mocked law enforcement on Facebook, calling outstanding arrest warrants
the adult version of Hide and Seek, And less than
ten days later, what do you think happened? They raided
his house, found him and arrested him on charges of
fraud and theft. No word and if he tagged his
location in the post, This guy fritz over here reminds

(25:15):
me a little bit of like if my mom tried
to taunt police on Facebook or Instagram. I love my
mom and she's a very smart lady, but I'm finding
that her tech skills are really sort of slipping, and
she doesn't really know who she's dming or who she's
commenting on and if it's public or private. So I
would encourage, you know, some of you who may not
be as sharp technically, you know, as it comes to

(25:36):
new technology, don't mock the police using social media, because
it turns out, whether you tag yourself or not, they
can probably go deep to dig in there and do
whatever they gotta do, you know, or maybe look at
your background and they see the sign, you know, or
like with your address on it or something, and they're like, hmm,
I bet he's at his house. But isn't this a
tale so old as time people taunt the police on

(25:57):
the Internet and then they get arrested. Day's further warrens
were issued after evidence was found during the search He
is currently being held in jail on twelve thousand dollars bond.
It's National Chicken Wing Day. There you go, save Hooters.
Today's the day, guys want to go Yahne Today Day
Today is well. The Entertainment Report is Nickalen's entertainer Report.

(26:18):
He's on The Fresh Show.

Speaker 6 (26:19):
Actress Sydney Sweeney is getting absolutely annihilated on the internet
right now for her new American Eagle denim Ad. So here,
I'm going to play it for you and then we'll
talk about all the things that people are saying.

Speaker 10 (26:33):
Chans are pasta from parents to offspring, often determining traits
like higher color, personality dave and eye color.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
My chains are blue. Sydney Sweeny has great Keynes.

Speaker 3 (26:45):
What hold on, Hold on, Hold on, Hold on?

Speaker 10 (26:50):
Chance are pasta from parents to afspring, often determining traits.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
You know, it's crazy. I didn't I was really excited
about this.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I bet you what.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
I didn't know what.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
No, I didn't want to tell you, guys, I could
that was on non disclosure of non disclosure. But that's
actually me doing doing my girl voice.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Oh yeah, you know what it sounds like it.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Trying to pasta from Tanta pasta.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
I'm trying to mana bla.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
From parents to offspring, determining traits like her color, personality,
leave and eye color.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Tweeny, that's great, Keen.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
What's funny is they save a lot of money. I
did both of the voices on that.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Yeah, no, they did save money, and that is your
girl voice. And I think that there's like a reason
for that.

Speaker 3 (27:35):
No teeth, no lips.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
So here are all.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
The layers of issues that we're having online.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
So obviously, first the one else smack you right in
the face is that that is very much a lah
the early two thousands add formula. Right, we take a
hot girl, we sexualize a product that has nothing to
do with being sexual at all, and we have her
kind of sort of make.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
These They talk like that jeems could be sexualized. You know,
you see people's curves and see their button for sure.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
But the conversation is like usually like ads nowaday, they
just take a different format. Typically it's just the early
two thousands formula. And someone said, someone wrote online, are
you trying to appeal to men by objectifying women to
increase women's gene sales? I guess, like, why are we
they're women's genes, So I don't know what we're doing there,

(28:29):
but that's fine.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
That's really not the biggest issue. The use of the words.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
Genes and the double meaning that they played off of
in this ad genes J E A N S versus
G E N E S. Okay, So American Eagle is
an iconic American brand. Many people online are talking about that,
how like choosing a blonde with blue eyes, talking about
how an American brand works, and then also saying that

(28:54):
genetics are passed down from your parents to your offspring,
often determining traits like hair color, personality, and eye color.
People feel that that's not very inclusive, especially now. So
I am just the messenger. That is what people are
saying online.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
For me, it's a bit of a reach, but I'm
offer of about a haaka, says an ocrass.

Speaker 11 (29:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 12 (29:16):
I don't that's more to me. Yeah, well, everyone has
their saying but it's not great. Yeah, I don't think
in this climate it's great. In my personal opinion, people
are just saying, I really think they went that far?
You really think they meant you really think it was that.
I don't know the answer, course.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
Because that's the thing.

Speaker 7 (29:31):
It's like, we're going to have a little more is
to be so out there and be like, you know,
spreading this quote message and I'm using quotation marks right.
I feel like it would be a little more hidden
if that was really the situation, because why would I
just put it in your face?

Speaker 6 (29:43):
Yeah, I don't know that every single person that worked
on the commercial had mal intent.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Like it's a commercial about jeans and they're talking about jeans, Like,
I suppose you could make that reach. But I see
why people would make it, But I also don't. I
also don't necessarily know that I don't. I don't know
that they were that thoughtful about it. I mean, I
think they were probably focused on her looking hot in jeans,
and I think that was so. I think the rest
of it might be a little bit.

Speaker 7 (30:07):
But if you are like her PR team, wouldn't you
kind of be like, hey, maybe not like today, we
don't do this.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
That's my point is that the amount of people had
to pass through at times where we're losing inclusion programs people,
you know what this climate.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
I think it's tough to.

Speaker 6 (30:21):
Say I'm blonde hair, blue eyed, this is America, and
we passed down these traits. I don't know whatever. I mean,
that's what the internet is saying. The voice deeply offended
me as well. She doesn't talk like that, so come
on girl.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Now.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
While we were talking about her, I do want to
mention that she was spotted jet skiing with a new
mystery man in Idaho, of all places.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
But I loved we don't know who this dude is.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
He was on the back of her jet ski and
I really liked that he was holding her.

Speaker 3 (30:44):
She was driver.

Speaker 4 (30:45):
She was the driver, and I really like that.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
That made me because a lot of times you see
that the little lady, you know, hanging on tight from
behind it. And in this case, she was like, nope,
you you, I'll drive.

Speaker 13 (30:57):
No.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Actually what she said is yeah, that's what she said.

Speaker 6 (31:04):
Hailey Williams, who you most likely know from Paramore, dropped
a surprise album seventeen tracks.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
It's a solo album called Ego.

Speaker 6 (31:11):
I guess that's the word of the day, just a
few days after debuting two songs from it at a
radio station in Nashville, but she didn't say what project
it was from. Fans can access the album and there's
a couple steps. Go to her website, enter a sixteen
digit code that you can get from buying something from
her hair dye company, good Die Young's new Drop. So
you have to buy one of her products, which is hey,

(31:31):
business woman, you have to buy hair dye to get
the code. Okay, well, listen. We can all be offended
by what we want to be and that's America.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
It's my job to give you things that piss you off.

Speaker 6 (31:43):
And lastly, Real Quick actor and podcaster Jack Shepherd said
that he and his wife, actress Christen Bell, let their daughters,
Lincoln age twelve and Delta, age ten, swear at home
if it's called for and only when they're.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Respectful and it stays in the house.

Speaker 6 (31:56):
He says, swearing is simply just noises that come out
of your mouth, which children should understand and assign meeting
to themselves with boundaries like not using them at school
or in restaurants. In general, they just focus on embracing
honesty and openness in their parenting.

Speaker 4 (32:10):
They prioritize modeling.

Speaker 6 (32:11):
Conflict resolution, apologizing in front of their kids, which I love,
and discussing tough topics like addiction and relationships without shame.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
So I want them to adopt me. I love them
very much.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
By the way, if you want to catch up on
anything you missed from our show, just type the Fred
Show on demand and if you don't mind, set is
as a preset on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (32:31):
The commercial was a copy of Brooks Shields.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yes it was yes, so please stop Texas.

Speaker 13 (32:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
Yeah, no, I do not you. I didn't know, no, no, no,
no saying.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
That, no no not. I don't think that I wasn't
talking to you don't know?

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Okay, well I don't know. You know.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
What's interesting I mean this from like a very genuine perspective,
is that people point things out to me sometimes from
their viewpoint when it comes to pop culture, that I
wouldn't have known to understand if someone hadn't pointed it
out to me, right like, they'll be like, well that's
not good and here's why, and and they're sharing it
from their perspective. So then I now a perspective that

(33:08):
I wouldn't see. Yeah, because I'm a you know whatever,
I'm me, and I see things from my viewpoint of course,
and so sometimes I'm educated about it and I go,
oh wow, okay, I can see why that's upsetting. But
then sometimes what can be hard to tell. The difference
between is are you sharing it from your perspective and
you're offended, so then I should be offended too because

(33:29):
it's offensive, or or are people making too big of
a deal out of something that wasn't intended to be offensive?
If this is a if this is a play on
an eighties commercial, then odds are it's not intended to
generate the reaction that some people are having, you know
what I mean. So I would not have known to
be offended by that. Yeah, But yet I sometimes don't

(33:51):
know to be offended by things that I don't see
because I see them from my perspective, if that makes sense.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
But also, was that the intention in the eighties, which
is why it was in the eighties?

Speaker 4 (33:59):
And should we be back? I think is the conversation.
And I think as long.

Speaker 6 (34:02):
As you're respectful to other people's feelings, then we can
all just say I see things from our filter and
share and be respectful and then you could make your
own decision and you know.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Other' out and stuff.

Speaker 7 (34:12):
And I think that's why you're respected for it, because
you're open to the conversation, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, sometimes it can be hard whether it's this or
other things to know because you've got you've got rage bait,
You've got people out there who are like generating offense
where no offense was intended. And then you've also got
things that seemed benign to a lot of people that
then you learn, well, wait a minute, that that's not
benign and that's actually very hurtful.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Unfortunately, it's like a lot of things where I think
people sort of maybe misuse the opportunity some people do
because now it's hard to know. It could be hard
to know the difference if it doesn't target you directly
between that is bad and I'm making it bad.

Speaker 6 (34:51):
I think if it doesn't target you directly, then we
should leave it to the people who feel offended by it,
you know, to have their feelings about it.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I guess, But I guess that's what I'm saying is
I don't know what offense I'm I sometimes don't know
when to be offended.

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Well, you don't need to be offended to something that
doesn't personally offend you. But I'm just saying, let people
if they have their feelings, we can just let them
say them and they can have it.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know it's all good.

Speaker 3 (35:13):

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Okay, yeah, they talk better than excited. These are the
radio blogs on the Fresh Show, like we're writing in
our diaries, except we say to a we call it blogs, Kaylin,
you got one.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Go yes, dear blog.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
So this is a two parter, but they do both
relate to each other.

Speaker 4 (38:07):
If that's all right with you guys.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
So I have a love hate relationship with my birthday,
which is coming up, and it all started. It all
started in nineteen ninety one on a hot summer day.
But I I just growing up. I've I'm not someone
who I need all the attention to be on me,
But I am someone who likes to use my birthday
as an excuse to be with people I love and

(38:30):
force them to do something I want to do. I'll
you know, like a party or a concert, whatever, just
spend time together. But it doesn't need to be me focused.
But it's been difficult in the past because even like
starting when I didn't get a locker at school, you know,
it kind of made me sad because I had a
summer birthday decoration, like the cupcakes.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
You can't bring cupcakes anymore.

Speaker 3 (38:49):
Used to get a locker, used to people used to
decorate it locks.

Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:54):
I used to like really like long for that yearn
for that, you know, and bring a treat.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
You know, I wanted to bring a treat.

Speaker 6 (39:00):
And then it turned into when I got a little
bit older, everyone took like a family. In the Midwest,
everyone takes like a family. Road trip or vacation, and
it's usually early August before everyone goes back to school.
So typically if I wanted to do something, I had
like one little friend with me there, which is fine.
I mean we're so bald planned everybody else was outtown. Yeah,
and then it turned into weddings. You know, I have

(39:21):
an August birthday, and typically if it's on.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
The weekend, there are weddings.

Speaker 6 (39:27):
Then it turned into La La Palooza the Chicago Music Festival,
because it's every year during either my actual birthday or
the weekend that I would celebrate my birthday because the
weekend after my birthday is my sister's birthday, so there's
really no there's no time before or after.

Speaker 4 (39:43):
So I've kind of just made my peace with it.
And that's happening this year.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
And it's very funny, like when you're the planner of
the group, and like, I really love planning other people's birthdays.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
I think you guys can probably attest like it. That's
very important to me. I think it's special. I want
to celebrate the people I love.

Speaker 6 (39:57):
But it's very funny when like it's my birthday and
then like all the people that I plan for ask
me what we're doing. And I'm like, Okay, I don't.
Should I be telling you guys what we're doing?

Speaker 4 (40:07):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (40:08):
But my second question is miss Paulina this morning and
I were in the elevator and.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
She goes, Hey, what are you into lately?

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Super slick? Right, super super slick?

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Yeah, I'm super.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
I always ask people that in the elevator.

Speaker 2 (40:24):
I'm actually asking a different question entirely, but yeah, hey,
what are you? What are you into these days? You know,
that's just that's me feeling out something totally different. But
I'm super slick. Yes, one week away from the birthday? Hey,
what Subby into right now? That's when I asked my
my That's when I asked my friends with kids when
their birthday is coming up, like what are they into

(40:44):
right now?

Speaker 3 (40:45):
Like that's because it's a never changing thing for a child,
you know.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Right now, for Gideon Son, it's Legos and Spider Man,
but you know in a year it might be something else.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah, so what do you?

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Yeah, but while we're at it, what are you into
these What are you into these days?

Speaker 8 (41:00):
Am I? God?

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Taking some notes?

Speaker 6 (41:01):
I spend we are in constant communication, and I spend
more time with her than I spend with my family.
So it's just very funny out of nowhere in an elevator,
run run in the.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Morning, what are you?

Speaker 6 (41:10):
And then she's like, you know, I think you like shoes, right,
what kind of shoes you've been trying to get?

Speaker 4 (41:14):
Paulina, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

Speaker 6 (41:17):
But I am hypocritical because I would never tell someone
what to buy me. But I very much love when
you guys tell me what you want. Like that is
my happy place.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
As a grown up at this age, I'm very much
of the place where I wish you would just say,
like your birthdays next week, I wish you would just
tell me, I'm looking at these shoes because I'm just
going to go buy them for you. Yeah, because I
can go buy you something that I think is cool
or that the people at the store think is cool,
and then you might not. And then it's like then

(41:45):
you might feel guilty about returning it, or or you
might not like it or want it, or you might
want something else, or you might already have it, or
or too much of that category. It's just like because
we're not we're not any longer, Like it's not when
we're kids, when we don't have any money, everything is
cool because almost everything is cool, except for that time
that I got a bike instead of the Nintendo sixty four.

Speaker 3 (42:06):
I wanted it.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
My sister got the Nintendo sixty four and then held
it over my head. But other than that, like it's
everything's cool. I just I would much rather as an
adult that if gift giving is expected, and most of
my adult friends, this is the only place in my
life except for family, that we even give gifts anymore.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
By the way, it's not expected, it absolutely is.

Speaker 2 (42:25):
You deserve a gift on your birthdays, and everybody in
this room does too, but because your family. But at
the same time, I don't know. I would much rather
you say, like, hey, I want these jordan Ones. I've
been looking at them, and then guess what you're going
to get exactly that, and then you're happy, and I'm
happy because I got you something that you actually wanted.
So which Jordan One's do? If you would please send

(42:46):
me the link, I will make sure I get them
right now.

Speaker 6 (42:48):
The Guccie lights you guys, Yes, that was one of
my favorite gifts I ever got. I will try to
get over my fear of telling people what I would
want and think of something for you guys, if that's helpful,
But it really is tip tough for me, difficult for.

Speaker 4 (43:03):
Someone like me, Like that really helps.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
What are you these days?

Speaker 14 (43:05):
Right?

Speaker 11 (43:06):
What are you.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
During Thanksgiving?

Speaker 2 (43:10):
I was like, I don't know, Like like these kids
that put together like little little link trees or whatever,
they put together like little emails with links, if you
wouldn't mind, I think it's brilliant. I think it's a
brilliant idea. Like my sister does this now for for
the kids' birthdays, Like she'll just send me here, here,
this is what she wants, Like here are three options,
and I just click on all three and order them

(43:31):
on Amazon. And I will admit that it's lazy. It
is lazy, But at the same time, it's like I
would much rather just get you what you want then
try and guess and it not be right. So if
you wouldn't mind a little email, you know, with a
few links, just a couple of linky links on it,
you know, just a little just a little something, and
we could do like various price ranges.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
We could do, like we could do like you know, right.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Are you guys? Doing a group gift, but we sure can't.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
There been there been bates and discussions, and there's been
negotiations behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
The show is on.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
It's stay or go Kelly. Good morning to Kelly.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
How you doing, Okay, welcome to the program, Kelly. So
you are you're a married woman. Congratula. Congratulations for being
a married woman. I don't know if you've made it.
Have you been married for a while, a couple of
years something like that. That's a big accomplishment.

Speaker 11 (44:26):
We've been together a long time.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
I feel like being married for any period of time
like past maybe I don't know, twenty four months is
impressive for me. I think being with someone longer than
six months is impressive. But anyway, nonetheless, this is about kids, though.
So what's going on with you and your husband?

Speaker 15 (44:45):
Well, okay, so you know, when we were younger, we
both agreed we just didn't want children, and so that
was our thing. But we've gotten a little older, and
unfortunately I'm one of the people that they kind of
talk about that I've changed my mind and I want kids.

Speaker 2 (45:03):
Okay, So you you guys have this conversation. This is
and this is a very fundamental thing to talk about.
In here, I am talking about relationships like I've ever
been successful on one. But nonetheless I have I can,
I can observe, I give great advice, I give excellent advice,
and I have great perspective. I just myself cannot really

(45:24):
seem to find very much success. But you have this
conversation ahead of time, Hey kids, no kids. I think
talking about money ahead of time. I think talking about
you know, love, languages and that kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
I think there's all stuff.

Speaker 2 (45:37):
To get ironed out before you get married, so that
you're on the same page, that you don't commit to
each other for life legally, and then decide one person's
like I want to spend all of our money and
the other person like I want to save all of
our money. Or I want to have kids and I
don't want to have kids, or you know, these fundamental things.
And now you guys are latched together and you're going
to be unhappy because you you view things differently. So

(45:57):
you guys had the conversation before you got married, no kids,
that was what you determined.

Speaker 15 (46:02):
Oh yeah, we definitely had this conversation, and I mean
I definitely didn't want them and he didn't either, but
it's just we've gotten older and I have changed my mind.

Speaker 11 (46:13):
And I went and told him, though I, of course
we are.

Speaker 15 (46:16):
Really communicative, this is this is just one of our busses.
But I told him that I had a change of
hearts and he he was like, you know, I appreciate
you telling me, but I don't My mind hasn't changed.
So anyway, he still doesn't want kids, but he did

(46:38):
have a compromise.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
Well, a compromise that's exciting. What was it? Yeah, what
is it?

Speaker 15 (46:44):
Well, well, he said that if I wanted a kid
bad enough, he said, he would obviously contribute financially. But
he's not doing diapers, he's not doing feedings, like waking
up in the middle of the night warming bottles all
of a thing. I'm going to be doing all of them.

Speaker 3 (47:02):
So he'll help you make the kid, but you get
to raise it.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
And he's just he's and he'll give you he'll ride
a couple of bucks towards it, but he's not going
to be enrolled in like the hard work.

Speaker 11 (47:13):
I mean, you're right, but I want to make.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Sure I have this right. I'm not. I'm not.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
I mean, I think that's that's a wild take. But
I want to make sure I have this right. So
he's not telling you you're fine, we can have a kid.
I'm just not going to do the hard stuff.

Speaker 15 (47:25):
Yeah he's not. He's exactly. Yeah, he's not going to
do any of that if I want, If we're.

Speaker 3 (47:31):
Going to do this, how does that make you feel?

Speaker 11 (47:35):
Well?

Speaker 3 (47:35):
And that's fair, but how does that make you feel?

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Because you're allowed to change your mind now, I mean,
it's it's a pretty significant thing to to then say, well,
now I want to add a human to our sort
of existence now. I mean, but you also have every
right to change your mind. I suppose he has every
right to say. But we talked about this and I've
never wanted kids and I don't want them now. I
think that's a weird compromise. But how does this all

(47:58):
make you feel?

Speaker 15 (48:00):
I mean at first it was like that is but
I mean again, on the one that made this decision
in my head, I changed my mind. And if he's
gonna he's not going anywhere.

Speaker 11 (48:11):
He's going to be financially supporting.

Speaker 15 (48:13):
I mean, plus, you know what, what's the.

Speaker 11 (48:16):
Difference between like having a kid on your own?

Speaker 15 (48:18):
You know, there's plenty of single moms that do it
every day, and I'm thinking he's going to change his
mind over time, you know, And so I don't know.
I don't know.

Speaker 11 (48:27):
What do I do? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
I'm tough.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
I mean, what are the options? Right?

Speaker 2 (48:34):
The options are you?

Speaker 3 (48:37):
You do it this way?

Speaker 2 (48:38):
You know, you have your kid with your partner who
you love, and he's just not involved very much. Somebody
tells me he'll be okay. Maybe he'd be okay with
like some of the upside, but doesn't like, he doesn't
want to be up in the middle of the night
changing diapers. He doesn't want to be a parent, right,
he doesn't want to hear you're the nurturing part of it.
Maybe okay, you could not have a kid, which means

(49:01):
then that you're not fulfilled in this way because this
is what you want and that's a big deal. Or
you could divorce him and then go find somebody who
does want to have a kid. Am I missing any
options here?

Speaker 3 (49:12):
I got?

Speaker 2 (49:12):
And I know this all stops cut and dry and
like very simplified, But am I missing anything?

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Bill?

Speaker 11 (49:20):
That's it? That's it.

Speaker 7 (49:23):
Yeah, I don't really like this very much. And I
only say that, and you can totally have a kid
on your own. That is not even the issue. But
I feel like, because you are married to somebody, and
that person, you know, is quote okay with this idea
and kind of treating it like almost like you're bringing
home a puppy or something like, he's like, you know
what I mean, He's like, oh, I'm not gonna get
up in the middle.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
Of the night and do this and.

Speaker 7 (49:41):
That like that's that's a single married mom in my opinion,
And I don't really like that.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
If you're gonna do it on your own.

Speaker 7 (49:45):
I would just say do it fully on your own
and like not even like truly I have to leave
this man because also too so you're gonna bring him
a baby and there's gonna be a man living there,
but he's not involved. But he's a dad, you know
what I mean. It's like, who's that man walking in
the hallway, Like you know what I mean? How involved
does he think he's gonna be? Like you're the father
and you also live here, And.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I suppose he might change his mind once the kid's
there and he sees you working hard and doing all this,
he might decide, well, maybe I should be involved. It's
my offspring too. I guess there's a chance of that.
I just from the jump, I just don't like the
way that feels, you know, like, hey, yeah, yeah, you
can have the kid. But like, I'll just I'm just
sort of here, don't, don't, don't, don't inconvenience me with it.

(50:24):
But for the people who are texting saying this guy's
a jerk, that that is a jerk, that's kind of
a jerky response by all means. But he did say
from the beginning, his truth was I don't want kids,
So that does not make him a bad guy. He
was very clear about that. So I mean, for the
people who are like, this guy's terrible, I.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Don't, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
I don't know if he's His response is not great,
but he's allowed to be a person who doesn't want
to have kids, like that's not And and you guys
didn't talk about it and agree on that initially.

Speaker 15 (50:58):
Yes, And I understand where he's at. That's why, because
we were hard knows, so I get where he's at.
So you know, that's why I'm struggling with this. And
you're going to resent him.

Speaker 7 (51:12):
You're going to resent him when the baby's there middle
of the night. You're the one changing diapers, You're the
one doing all these things.

Speaker 4 (51:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (51:18):
I feel like it's a terrible idea and you're allowed
to change your mind. And Fred was right about that.
Like you guys were very clear in the beginning. You guys,
you know, grew in your marriage. Whatever you want different
things now. I think, I hate to say it, doesn't
that call for like some form of like, I don't know, separation,
going your own ways, then living your life on your terms,
both of you doing what you both want.

Speaker 15 (51:37):
My crazy, I think even this is bigger than Oh god, someone,
this is even bigger than the baby.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Someone have the baby and then divorce him. Do not
do that, Yeah, do not do that. That is the
that's the worst. I love you, but that is the
worst advice, because you're still tied to the guy.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
No, this is what you do either. You may have
to leave this dude.

Speaker 2 (51:58):
If you really want kid, you deserve a supportive partner
who's in it with you. It also wants the kid.
Maybe give him a little bit of time to marinate
on this. But I don't think it's unfair. If this
is really your calling, and really what you're drawn to
do and you feel very strongly about it. You have
one life. You deserve a supportive partner with whom to
do this. You may have to go to shay him

(52:19):
and say, look, I love you, but we are now fractured.
We are fundamentally on different sides of this, and I
don't want to do this with somebody who's going to
be absent minded. And maybe if you have that conversation,
he comes around because he loves you, and maybe he
can see it, and maybe he does it. I actually
know a couple. This is a real story. I know
a couple that had this very thing happen. They decided

(52:40):
no kids, no kids. And I'm not going to get
into too many details because these people might know who
I'm talking about. I don't know people might know who
I'm talking about. But let's just say that he was
willing to take on some other responsibilities, but he did
not want kids. He never did, but he loved her.
They got married. She says, you know, in somewhere in
years into the marriage, I want kids, and he's like,

(53:01):
I don't want kid I told you, I really don't
like I have my whole life planned out and I
told you this, and at some point the conversation was,
if you need to leave me, I would be heartbroken.
But I understand. I'm not going to stand in your way,
but I'm not one hundred percent in this. They wound
up staying together and having a kid and everything is wonderful.

(53:22):
But it wasn't the plan. It wasn't it kind of
all didn't happen in order or as you know. It
kind of just happened, and that's a different story. But nonetheless,
everything works out fine, everyone's happy, and it turns out.
I think this guy would tell you that it's the
greatest thing that ever happened to him. But if a
guy's telling you right now, I don't want it and
I'm not going to be involved, that is bad. Right

(53:45):
like that, I can't imagine starting that way.

Speaker 11 (53:48):
You know, do you really think I could do it
on my own?

Speaker 2 (53:52):
Of course, as someone wants to know how old you are?
By the way, how old are you in your thirties?

Speaker 11 (53:58):
I'm in my thirties.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Okay, yeah, you absolutely can do it on your own.
I mean, here's what I'll say. I don't know you
people can do it on their own. And I believe
you're you're probably very capable of it. But I don't
think this is going to work. Uh, and it's it's
it's heartbreaking. But eight five, five, five, nine one one
on three five the text are going crazy. I would
love to know what people have to say about this though.
I hate to say this, but I think you you know,

(54:20):
have to have a very and it's not a mean conversation.
It's not you know, there's no lack of love. I
don't think it's it's spiteful or hateful. This guy didn't
lie to you. He told you the truth. But I
think it may it may be the kind of conversation
where you have to just say, look, I gotta do
this and so and I want to do it with
somebody who either either is going to be an active

(54:40):
participant who wants to be there, or I'd rather do
it on my own. I know people who've done that too. Well, Kelly,
let me take some calls and have the radio one
and thank you for sharing this. I know it's very personal,
and good luck to you.

Speaker 11 (54:54):
Well, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 3 (54:56):
Yeah, you got it. We appreciate you. I mean, yeah,
I don't know. I think she's gotta probably leave this guy.

Speaker 5 (55:03):
Yeah, from his perspective too, like he came into this
relationship like thinking one thing and now yeah, she gets
to choose her what she wants to do. But in
a way is also like blowing up his life, you know,
like now he may lose his marriage because of it,
and he had the same intentions from the jump.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Yeah, I don't like his response, but I don't disagree
with with him having a stay in this and having
a vote and having a desire for his life too.
I mean again the whole I'll do well, I'll knock
you up and then just be here. I don't like that,
but I also for the people, like this guy is
such a d I he didn't have to want.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Yeah, he didn't have to run the jump.

Speaker 4 (55:43):
This is what I want.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
She's the one switching up, but yeah, she can do.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
But it's sad, but it happens.

Speaker 7 (55:47):
I think in marriages people just outgrow each other, not
because of kids but other things too, right, And I
think it's sad and it blows up everyone's life.

Speaker 4 (55:54):
And now you know you're divorced, but it is what
it is.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
Autumn, Good morning, Hi, welcome, Hi.

Speaker 16 (56:01):
I'm your fourteenth color.

Speaker 17 (56:02):
Just so you guys know, Oh you're the fourteenth.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
You know why, that's impossible. We only have thirteen listeners,
will only ever have thirteen listeners? Right when we think
we got fourteen, someone moves to somewhere where they don't
have the Internet yet.

Speaker 3 (56:12):
It's crazy. Anyway, what do you think?

Speaker 16 (56:16):
So I just I'm thinking about the child. That's always
my number one is do you really want to raise
a child or have even a fifty percent chance of
like this child not having the father being around like
in their life. So I just think that that's that's
what I would think about. I'd leave. I'd for sure leave,
especially if she really wants a baby, because you don't

(56:38):
know for sure if he's going to want to be around,
and you don't want to do that to the baby either,
you know.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
Yeah, I agree, And and you know what it could
be like my friend you had a kid that he
wasn't expecting and loves that kid more than anything and
it changed his life. If you're here right now, he
would tell you it's the greatest thing that ever happened
to you. I know he'd say that, but he didn't
see it. But you're taking a race, you're taking a risk.

Speaker 16 (56:58):
He's an exception, he's not the rule.

Speaker 2 (57:01):
Right, Yeah, a movie, and I can't I can't with
much confidence, uh, engage in that agreement, you know what
I mean?

Speaker 3 (57:10):
Like that's that doesn't feel good.

Speaker 2 (57:13):
My partner is gonna my partner is willing to sleep
with me, and you know whatever. But but but he's
not really willing to do this with me.

Speaker 16 (57:21):
So sometimes you grow apart like that just is you'd
want different things and you grow in different directions and
that's okay, and she shouldn't feel ashamed about that. But
if she doesn't want the same things, then I mean
it might be time to part ways.

Speaker 3 (57:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Maybe, so thank you autumn listener number you say fourteen
and you're still thirty.

Speaker 3 (57:38):
But HI, have a good day.

Speaker 16 (57:40):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
I love you mean it. Hi, Kelly, good morning, Kelly. Hello, Hi,
Hi Kelly. What do you want to say?

Speaker 13 (57:50):
Hi?

Speaker 15 (57:51):
I want to say that.

Speaker 11 (57:52):
She needs to go. This is so selfish.

Speaker 12 (57:56):
She should not bring a child into this world knowing
that their father wants nothing to do with it.

Speaker 16 (58:02):
It's so cool.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (58:05):
Yeah, I don't think it's going to work under the
current arrangement, and I think it's a risk. If you
do it within these the confides of this relationship, because
he's telling you he doesn't want to do it. But
thank you, Kelly, I'm glad you called. Yeah, I have
a great day, you two, and thank you for listening. Brandon.
So you say stay? Why I say stay? Because he

(58:26):
was honest from the very beginning. He told her exactly
what the situation was. While there's a good chance that
his mind will change when he sees that precious young
one and he holds it in his hands. However, there's
so many fathers who never were honists from the beginning,

(58:47):
who have a just who actually never told their wives that,
oh no, I'll do everything, but then never do anything.
Who who are married now but never take care of
the childhood in any way, who perhaps live from the beginning.
I think we're talking about it. He told her two
different things, Brandon. Then we're talking about dead bee dad.

(59:07):
We're talking about people who want a kid but don't
want to work for it. This guy, and you don't
find that out until after the fact. This guy's telling you,
he's telling you right now, Hey, he's calling his shot, like, hey,
just heads up, I don't want to do this, Like
that's I think that's a little bit different because it's
good enough if you have a kid and then yeah, yeah,
yeah kid, and then you don't want to raise it.

(59:27):
I mean, that's a different I think it's a different problem.

Speaker 11 (59:31):
That's true. But however, he is willing to take care
of in every way. But the amount of single moms
out there who have zero support whatsoever have to do
it all on their own.

Speaker 6 (59:39):
Well, not every way, not the emotional part. You know,
he's saying, I want to be like a hands offstage.
So I wonder, Okay, if she goes to a sperm
make and the kid doesn't hack quote unquote have a dad,
is that less painful than having a dad that's like
one foot in, one foot out the door.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
You know what I mean on the rad that he's
somehow going to buy in after the fact. But Brandon,
I appreciate you, man, Thank you so much for calling Katie. Katie,
you say go, she's got to go.

Speaker 16 (01:00:04):
Yes, I do.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Well.

Speaker 16 (01:00:05):
I think if they can find a compromise, great, But
I think the idea at hands is a bad idea,
and if that's the only idea, she should go.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So we got to vote for go.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:17):
Katie, Yeah, Larry, vote for stay.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Hi Larry, Hello there, Larry. You say stay why.

Speaker 13 (01:00:27):
So the reason why is that and I don't know
this gentleman's circumstances, but depending if he was an only
child or something like that, I had the same thing
with my folks. So when my folks got married, my
dad wanted to have kids. But until we were like,
I don't know, seven or eight years old, he didn't
really he wasn't involved in our in our you know,

(01:00:49):
raising us and what.

Speaker 8 (01:00:50):
Have you us.

Speaker 13 (01:00:51):
He would do is probably wipe a butt every now
and then, but other than that he didn't do much.
But as we got older, he got more involved and active.
And I think that has a lot to do with it.
Since we don't know the gentleman's circumstances here and what
his upbringing is, I think that it's the same thing
that maybe once this child gets older, he may get

(01:01:12):
more involved.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
And oh, we love Larry, but Larry, no, I hear
what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
That's a risk. I mean, I hear what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (01:01:21):
There's a chance he buys in over time or warms
up to the idea, but that now you have another
human involved and I think we have to consider not
only her needs, his needs, as Jason pointed out, but
also like how's this, how's his kid going to feel
if dad is truly detached from the process. Sample Jenny,
good morning, Hey, good morning. I'm gonna let you have

(01:01:43):
the final say here, what do you think?

Speaker 10 (01:01:45):
So?

Speaker 17 (01:01:46):
I think they both should try to work it out,
only because it's a little different. But I have a
friend or I have a friend who they both got married.
In all their lives, they said, you know, we don't
want kids. Both when she turns forty I think forty one,
she accidentally got pregnant and now they're in love with
this little boy fell I think eight years old, and

(01:02:09):
he says it's the best thing that's ever happened to
their lives.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Yeah, I mean it's very possible.

Speaker 17 (01:02:15):
Yeah, once the baby's here, he could easily change his mind.

Speaker 3 (01:02:19):
You never know, it's possible.

Speaker 17 (01:02:21):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
Yeah, it's a risk. I mean that's a risk.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
Yeah, that's that's a big risk because you know he's
telling you his truth. It's almost like when people show
you who they are, you should believe them kind of thing.
I mean, I know that applies to so different scenarios.
But it's like he's telling you. So, then when when
the kid's five years old and he's like, I told
you I don't want any I don't want to do this,
you can't be mad at him, I guess because he's

(01:02:47):
as messed up as that is.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
He told you that.

Speaker 18 (01:02:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:02:50):
True.

Speaker 3 (01:02:51):
So I don't know, Jenny, but thank you, thanks for calling.
You have a good day. Of course you too, Okay, Well,
I don't think we solve their problem, but anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Entertainment report is on the Bread Show.

Speaker 6 (01:03:00):
Carucci Tran, who you may know as Chris Brown's actually's beautiful.
She was seen supporting Hall of Fame coach Dion Sanders
during his recent bladder cancer surgery in a documentary style
video produced by Dion's Sun. It shows her wiping away tears,
holding his hand, and asking very detailed questions in the
hospital room as he underwent his treatment. Earlier outings like

(01:03:24):
lunches and some handholding had already started speculation earlier this year,
but neither have confirmed their relationship.

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
I think now it's.

Speaker 6 (01:03:31):
Pretty much sealing the deal that they are together, and
of course we're wishing him a very speedy recovery. Last week,
fifty cent who is his full time job is strolling
above all else. He posted a video of what appeared
to be or photos of what appeared to be Rick
Ross cuddling up to another man on a yacht in Miami,
writing quote, you man was looking real saucy kissing.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
That boy on that boat. That's not Ai.

Speaker 6 (01:03:56):
Well yesterday Rick Ross a shirt lit Rick Ross, he
was in a pool with a cocktail and a joint,
He responded to fifty cents.

Speaker 14 (01:04:05):
So infatuated with my lifestyle. You see me out on
the yacht with a black beautiful woman, and I hope
you don't have anything against black beautiful women, Curtis. I mean,
what are you insinuating here? I mean, and we know
you just had your heart shattered when you found out

(01:04:25):
what we found out. We all found out together, and
we know that's the mother of your youngest son, lit.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
Bruce Lee roy.

Speaker 10 (01:04:34):
Man.

Speaker 14 (01:04:35):
But you got to give a beautiful black woman an opportunity, Curtis.
We know you may have been hurt, you are hurt whole,
but get over it, man, enjoy your glass of fern
bubbles and move on in life.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Be happy, all right?

Speaker 16 (01:04:50):
Move on?

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
Be happy? I love a light rap beef.

Speaker 6 (01:04:52):

response and it made me chuckle. And lastly, real quick,

I'm good? How are you doing doing? Great?

Speaker 9 (01:12:30):
Man?

Speaker 3 (01:12:30):
Just you know, happy to be here talking to you. Tim.
What if I call you Big Tim?

Speaker 2 (01:12:34):
Okay, that's a different, No, Big Tim is a different
I don't want to confuse anybody, Big Tim Kiki's Big
Tim is not calling waiting by the phone. I want
to be clear, be weird if you were. But what's
going on with this regular sized Tim? What's going on
with Okay, Jason's upset?

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
All right? What's going on with Chelsea? This?

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
This woman who you met? How did you meet? Tell
us about any dates that you've been on, and then
where things are now?

Speaker 8 (01:13:00):
Yeah, so I met Chelsea on Bumble and you know,
I like bumble because the girl has the message first,
so usually that leads to like at least a decent time.
So I have to wrapped the drinks after we talked
for a bit and she agreed, so we went and
it was great. Vibes are really good, good enough to
go back to my place, you know, only for a

(01:13:22):
little like nothing happened. I kind of felt a little
bit of a vibe maybe like when she.

Speaker 11 (01:13:29):
Left, but there was no like, you know, there was nothing.

Speaker 8 (01:13:32):
That happened, So I thought maybe it was just like
she was tired or something, but gud tenses her and
she never answered.

Speaker 2 (01:13:39):
So yeah, I mean the bumble thing is interesting because yeah,
the woman messages first, so that usually means that, like
she's perused the profile and is somewhat excited about at
least your pictures enough to message you. Right, So there's
a little bit of, I don't know, initiative required there.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
So there's a little build up, right.

Speaker 2 (01:13:57):
Because if she's got some skin in the game and
then you and by the time you go out, everyone's
kind of excited.

Speaker 8 (01:14:02):
Right, Yeah, exactly. I thought, I really believe that it
was going to be a great time, and it was
to my you know, from my.

Speaker 2 (01:14:10):
Perspective, right, except this woman is not responding to you.
Has it reached out nothing since the date. You feel
like you're being ghosted, which is where we come in.
We're gonna call Chelsea, see if we can get her
on the phone. We're going to ask some questions on
your behalf. You'll be on the phone too at some point.
You're welcome to jump in. And the hope here is
that we can straighten this out regular sized Tim and
see what's going on and hopefully set you guys up

(01:14:31):
on another date that we paid for.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
Sound good? Sounds great?

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Hey, Tim, Hey, welcome back. Let's call Chelsea. You guys
met on Bumble, the dating app. You went on a
date you thought it went really well back to your
place for a minute even, And while it was pretty
tame there, you still thought that was all good, and
that you would hear from this woman again, or that
at least you would respond to you for another date.
You pretty much thought that was a foregone conclusion, except
you have reached out since then, she hasn't responded, and

(01:14:56):
you want to know why exactly.

Speaker 8 (01:14:59):
I'm very curious. Is this what she has to say?

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Well, we're hopefully going to find out right now. Good luck, Tim,
thank you. Hello, Hi, this is Chelsea.

Speaker 17 (01:15:13):
Oh yeah, this is Chelsea.

Speaker 3 (01:15:14):
Hey, Chelsea, good morning. My name is Fred.

Speaker 2 (01:15:16):
I'm calling from the Fred's Show, the Morning Radio Show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can we chat for just
a minute on the.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
Show, Okay, okay, I.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Guess yes, good, all right, I was waiting for the Okay, anyway,
we're going to yes. Well, thank you so much, Chelsea.
I'll get right to it. We're calling on behalf of
someone named Tim. A guy named Tim who called us
says that you guys recently met on bumble and went
out on a date do you remember this guy?

Speaker 18 (01:15:43):
I hope, Yeah, I do remember going on a date
with him.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Okay, so he called us, had nice things to say
about you, said he was excited about the date, thought
the date went well, mentioned that you went back to
his place. He did say nothing happened, But he also
says he's reached out to plan another d eight and
you haven't responded to him at all. So why does
he think it everything went well but you're not responding?

Speaker 1 (01:16:08):
Yeah, I did.

Speaker 16 (01:16:09):
I would say the date was was good, like initially.

Speaker 18 (01:16:14):
Uh, we did go to his house and when I
was there, I just I saw something that made me
feel pretty uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
Oh okay, what what did you say? There was a.

Speaker 18 (01:16:28):
Doll that was very life sized, really realistic looking.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Oh no, had a very human doll of the female variation. Yes, yep.
And where was it was?

Speaker 18 (01:16:44):
I'm sorry position, I don't want to like, I'm sorry
I say that again.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Where where was she? What was she doing? Uh said doll?

Speaker 18 (01:16:52):
I mean she was like just positioned normally.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
It was so weird, like in a chair in the
bed or on the ground or like was it?

Speaker 3 (01:17:02):
Did he maybe forget.

Speaker 18 (01:17:03):
He was sitting like on like on the couch like
in his living room, which was just super weird.

Speaker 17 (01:17:10):
And I asked.

Speaker 4 (01:17:12):
You know, what's to deal with this?

Speaker 11 (01:17:14):
And you know, I was talking there'd be like a reasonable.

Speaker 2 (01:17:19):
Yeah, reasonable explanation might there be? And what did what
did old boy have to say?

Speaker 18 (01:17:25):
I don't know what I was hoping, but basically he
did say that it is a stall and he starting
to tell me all about her. And the doll has
a name. Her name is Sonia's Super Yep, she's super
life like because she costs like two thousand dollars from

(01:17:48):
this website all the Annie's dollhouse that he ordered it from,
and that he would stop seeing Sonya, and it just
I just felt like I needed to get out of
that house.

Speaker 6 (01:18:03):
So if you guys became exclusive, then he would break
up with Sonya.

Speaker 4 (01:18:07):
Yeah, it's a real website. Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
Was Sonia clothed on the couch or was Sonia? Uh not?

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
She did have like a shirt on, so she.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Put something on. Forgot you mentioned that Tim is here.
I'm very forgetful, but I have to Tim. I need
you to explain immediately, please. I mean, and by the way,
don't anybody say we're calling Tim out here, because you
asked us, Tim, you asked us to call Chelsea, and
this is what she has revealed. So now we need
to understand because I mean, I get it, and tell
us about what Chelsea was it, or what you tell

(01:18:40):
us about Chelsea. You didn't tell us about Sonya. I'm sorry.
I don't mean to No, No, I get it.

Speaker 8 (01:18:46):
I mean I gotta say I am a little disappointed
because one of the things that me and Chelsea did
talk about is that we were both adventurers. So I
didn't think, you know, I kind of assumed that would
be maybe like something that she had seen before or
something kind of regular.

Speaker 2 (01:19:04):
But no, I think that's actually yeah, I don't mean,
I mean, bro, but I.

Speaker 8 (01:19:10):
Feel like it's kind of king shaming. I mean to
see that and be like, oh, I need to get
out of your house right now. I mean, that doesn't
really line up with what we've talked about about being adventurous.
Plus compared to like other things, it's also way safer.
I mean, like you can't get an STD from a doll.
I mean, I can't get so many pregnant. You know,
you know, you don't have a little hymns running around

(01:19:32):
if you go as you could.

Speaker 2 (01:19:34):
But here's my thing, Tim, I don't know that anybody's
necessarily I mean, okay, so you have an accessory, Okay.
I think where it starts to get a little blurry
for me is the fact that you would be breaking
up with the inanimate object in order to get a
human being. I think, look, if you've got to, if
you've got stuff that you like to incorporate, I mean,
that's on you, and you guys can work that out.

(01:19:56):
But it's when you basically said that you would have
to break up with this thing to then date a
human being that Now, now I'm a little bit intrigued.

Speaker 11 (01:20:04):
Well, I mean, I just can understand.

Speaker 8 (01:20:06):
How someone would be uncomfortable with, you know, me having
that doll that has a name and you know a
bit of a personality around around the house and you know,
in the bed while I'm actively seeing them. I feel
that could be something that is seen as a little
bit of an issue. So I you know, offer to
you know, stop seeing her. I mean, if she wanted

(01:20:27):
Sonia to say, it's only could say I love for
Sonia to stay.

Speaker 11 (01:20:30):
That's a doll. I doesn't have a personality.

Speaker 4 (01:20:32):
This website has After pay you can do your doll but.

Speaker 8 (01:20:35):
For two thousand dollars. I mean, she looks real enough
to have a personality, so I think, I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (01:20:40):
Think she's not so she's not real. Tim you have
to understand, like, we did not see this coming. Uh,
and it is a little bit unorthodox, I think is
a nice way of saying it. And no, I'm not
judging you, but you have to and you've acknowledged that
in so many words that a new person coming into
this might might be threatened by we'll say, by sonya.

Speaker 8 (01:21:02):
Yeah, I guess, I mean, I guess. I also was
on the impression that Chelsea would be someone who wasn't
desured by that, but you know.

Speaker 16 (01:21:11):
By the actual thing.

Speaker 18 (01:21:12):
I'm deterred by the fact that you feel like it
has a personality and a name.

Speaker 2 (01:21:16):
Yeah, yeah, that's something. So look, Chelsea, I will ask
the question if he's willing to break up with so
I can't even believe this. Would you then be interested
in seeing him again once he's able to be Uh,
he's no longer exclusive?

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
I guess Okay, So no.

Speaker 4 (01:21:31):
No, I don't know. I do not want to see
him again.

Speaker 2 (01:21:35):
I might look you do you, But I might reconsider
the way that I sort of roll this whole thing
out in the future.

Speaker 8 (01:21:42):
Well, I mean, like you said, I mean, I guess
I do agree it's a little bit unorthodox, But I
guess I just have to find somebody who matches that unorthodox.

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
There you go, who's going to match your freak? Chelsea?
Thank you for answering, Thank you for your time. It's him.
Best of luck to you as well. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report, he's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 6 (01:22:03):
Diddy's legal team just filed a new motion to bail
him out again. I mean, we've tried this many different times.
Would they say that he's the only man in America
being held behind bars for hiring a male sex worker
to hook up with his girlfriends.

Speaker 4 (01:22:17):
They say that's very benign.

Speaker 6 (01:22:18):
So his lawyers sent this new bail package for proposal
over to the judge, who has gotten many of these,
with a list of reasons why they think Diddy should
be released from jail before his October third sentencing.

Speaker 4 (01:22:31):
They say it's ridiculous that.

Speaker 6 (01:22:32):
He's behind bars simply because he was only convicted of
hiring professional male escorts who were not miners to have
sex with his longtime girlfriend's long term girlfriends as part
of threesomes. They claim it was all part of his
very benign swinger lifestyle. They also say a lot has
changed in terms of society's view on sex since the

(01:22:54):
Man Act, which was used in the trial, was passed
one hundred and fifteen years ago in nineteen ten, and
they claimed he never had sex with one of the
guys he hired, only his ex girlfriends did. He of course,
is awaiting sentencing on October third, after being convicted of
the prostitution charges and skating on the more serious charges

(01:23:14):
like racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking, but he was denied
bail hours after the jury returned its verdict. The judge
says that Diddy was a danger to the community because
of his violent past and that his defense did not
shy away from that at trial. Meanwhile, there have been
multiple letters from victims asking this judge to not release him.

Speaker 4 (01:23:33):
So they're going to.

Speaker 6 (01:23:34):
Keep trying until October, I'm sure, and we'll see if
they keep getting shut down. The kid LaRoy has seemingly
confirmed his split from Tate McCrae over a.

Speaker 4 (01:23:43):
Year of dating. I think they made it to so
in a post on.

Speaker 6 (01:23:46):
X he said they're still on good terms, but his
message implied that the relationship is over.

Speaker 4 (01:23:51):
They went public last year released a duet earlier this year.

Speaker 6 (01:23:55):
I knew the relationship was over when he was spotted
with two girls from Love Island filming a music video
on a boat, and I'm like, Okay, I.

Speaker 4 (01:24:02):
Don't think Tate's in the picture anymore. Of course, I'm
sure she doesn't care.

Speaker 6 (01:24:06):
She's absolutely having an insane year career wise right now.
But I do think that they broke up, and I'm
excited for the music that they both write about that.
Tom Cruise quietly made headlines by attending Oasis' London reunion
concert at Wembley Stadium on July twenty fifth, despite being
criticized by the brothers in the past. So in their

(01:24:27):
two thousand and seven documentary Lord Don't Slow Me Down,
Noel Gallagher or no is that always say his name
Liam and Noel right or no it's not Noel right.

Speaker 4 (01:24:38):
I just know.

Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
All I know is that their last names Gallagher, and
they're always fighting with each other. They infamously slammed his
acting career. They said he's not been in one good
film and Liam added, I hate Tom Cruise and they
called him little, so he apparently didn't care about all
of that. And he is still taking on a day
armist everywhere. But they're claiming that they're just co stars.

(01:25:01):
He is trying to hit that, I think for sure,
but he wasn't bothered by them calling him little. By
the way, if you missed any part of our show
and you would like to catch up, every single thing
is up there to type the Frend Show on demand
and if you could, it really helps set us as
a preset.

Speaker 1 (01:25:15):
The Fread Show is on it. Yeah, Fread's fun.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Fact Fred fun learn so much guys. There was a
there was a dance plague in the sixteenth century and
it caused people to drop like flies.

Speaker 3 (01:25:34):
Mm hm did you know about this there?

Speaker 4 (01:25:37):
I was a history English major.

Speaker 3 (01:25:39):
Well, tell me about it.

Speaker 4 (01:25:39):
Then it wasn't though they.

Speaker 7 (01:25:41):
Danced for like I don't know years or something or
like days, almost a year.

Speaker 2 (01:25:44):
They danced, well, not quite but sort of, I mean
run one sort of. Well, I think we're talking about
the same thing. But it was the summer. It was
the summer of fifteen eighteen. Hundreds of citizens in the
French city of Shrusbourg. I'm sure I didn't say that, right,
danced uncontrol believe for days and weeks on end, and
then some died from the over exertion. Scientists and historians

(01:26:05):
are not sure what was behind the deadly dance a thon,
but some choice theories include that people were involved in
some kind of a religious cult, or that they had
ingested a toxic mold on bread that produced spasms and hallucinations. Anyway,
a bunch of people died until they dropped dead in
fifteen eighteen.

Speaker 4 (01:26:24):
They danced, or until they danced until.

Speaker 2 (01:26:27):
They died, until they dropped dead they were already dead. No,
they danced until they died. WHOA, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 3 (01:26:34):
The Dance.

Speaker 1 (01:27:18):
N Yeah, they talk better than they say. Tell me.
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show, like.

Speaker 2 (01:27:25):
We're writing in our diaries, except we say them a
loud We call them blogs. I'm taking this one. This
is similar, Calen, kind of to what you were saying earlier,
dear blog, But your birthday is coming up, and Paulina
was asking you in an also subtle way this morning
what you wanted for your birthday and how did you
do it? Again, explain you guys are coming up the
elevator and Pauline is so slick.

Speaker 3 (01:27:46):
Yeah me with this, And how did you say it
to her?

Speaker 7 (01:27:48):
I looked at her, bright in the eye, and I said, hey, girl,
what are you into these days?

Speaker 1 (01:27:54):
What are you?

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
What are you into these days? And that now, that
could be interpreted a lot of ways. If somebody asked me, Hey, Frey,
what are you into these days? And it's the same
thing I was into yesterday? But I mean girls. But
I mean, hey, it could change. The answer could.

Speaker 4 (01:28:05):
Change, you know, it could it really could.

Speaker 3 (01:28:08):
You never know.

Speaker 2 (01:28:09):
I mean I might run out of women to date
and then we may have to.

Speaker 4 (01:28:14):
Hey, that's how it works.

Speaker 3 (01:28:15):
But speaking of.

Speaker 2 (01:28:16):
Which, you know you were saying that we're talking about
your birthday present and Paulina basically asking you what do
you want for your birthday? I wish as a grown
up that she was asking me. I know, I hate
to break it to you, but that's what she was
getting at. Sorry, Pauline, I don't even blow up your spot.
It was so so it wasn't obvious at all. But
I do kind of wish adults would just say, like,
this is what I want because it would just be easier.

(01:28:37):
And I get that it's lazy, but it's also like
I'm guaranteed to get you something that you actually want,
as opposed to just getting you something that's just going
to collect dust. Because as adults, we tend to we
have things, we have adult money, and we may not
have a lot of things, or we may have a
lot of things, but it's just I don't I don't
know what you need or want to what you'd actually use, so.

Speaker 3 (01:28:58):
Just tell me.

Speaker 7 (01:28:59):
So Like I I like, I'm a hypocrite too, because
I would rather you tell me that you want, you know,
these shoes or you want this jacket whatever. But when
it comes to me, I don't think I'm being lazy.
I feel like I'm being tacky and that's just my
own thing. Like I say that, like, oh, here you go, please,
It is awkward me.

Speaker 3 (01:29:13):
I would agree.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
It is awkward also to say because you don't necessarily
know how much people intend to spend.

Speaker 4 (01:29:18):
That's what it is.

Speaker 6 (01:29:19):
It's like, OK, that's why I was like, is it
a group Like I don't want to like send something
to you guys and feel I feel goofy sending it.

Speaker 3 (01:29:25):
Well, we did.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
I got the the group text that you sent, and
that is a nice maserati that you sent us, but
unfortunately we won't be able. We don't have the funds
currently insufficient funds to be able to buy that for you.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
Maybe something a little less.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Yeah, well I also got the porch that you sent
it a little less, but yeah, no, okay, I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (01:29:45):
We'll work on something.

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
Though, like a vintage Bronco maybe yeah, well.

Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
Sure, yeah, that's that's far more reasonable. Yeah, we can
probably do that. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:51):
But I bring this up because when it comes to dating,
if you don't like when you're first meeting someone and
you know, if you meet on a nap, if you
meet in person and you don't really know somebody and
you're planning a date. And I just saw a TikTok
about this about as a guy and his wife. That
dude tiktoks, except he plays her and she plays him

(01:30:13):
fun and it's pretty funny. It's you know me, I
don't normally go for like the cheesy stuff, but it's
pretty funny because it's very The way that guy portrays
his wife is very relatable. And in this one scene
I saw, it was and he wears like a he
wears one of those what are the fanny packs that
women are wearing now, but they're like crossbody It's like

(01:30:35):
it's like a little fanny pets Glue Lemon sells them.
And he's always hold he's got when he's doing her.
It's that and he's holding a stanley and walking around
like them. But it's like I think we should go
on a date night, and then she's him and he's like, okay,
you know what if we do and I want you
to plan it and he's like, okay, well, then I
think we should do this and this and this, and
she goes yeah, but there's this place down the street,

(01:30:56):
and by the end of it, she's planned the date.
So my thing is as someone trying to plan dates,
when I go on them, I find myself basically just going,
what do you want to do? Because people will complain
or in general, not not people that I'm going out with,
but in general I hear people complain, well, guys don't
plan date. It's like meet me here for a drink

(01:31:18):
and that's lazy, or let's go for a walk that's free,
Like I don't want to do that. I don't know you,
I don't want to commit to that. But then I've
found sometimes I'll be like, great, this place, this time,
and then the person's like, no, I don't want to
do that, I want to do this. Well, then why
don't you just It comes back to the same thing,
why don't you just tell me? Uh huh, you know,
like I I can't tell you how many times it
would be It'll be like, well, why don't we go
to this restaurant at this time?

Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
And it's no, I want to go to this place.

Speaker 2 (01:31:41):
Well, it's because it's a block from your house, Like
you don't you just want you You're just being like
you just want something convenient for you.

Speaker 4 (01:31:47):
But it's like that's a med luck.

Speaker 2 (01:31:50):
Ninety percent of the time when I suggest something, it
winds up being I don't really want to do that,
but what if we go here instead? And I don't
really care, but it defeats the purpose of me trying
to plan anything. Now, once I get to know you
pretty well, Like if I'm married to you, I would
hope that I know you well enough to know how
to plan a date night and you might still tell
me that I'm wrong and do something different, but at

(01:32:11):
least I made the effort based on what I know
about you. But when you first meet somebody, how do
you plan a date that somebody wants to go on
without any input from them? Because I feel lazy, But
I'm often like, where do you want to go? Just
tell me? And then the person's like, well, why do
you pick? And it's like, oh, there's so many variables.
What time what location and I get a first or

(01:32:33):
second date. I'm more than happy to for the most part,
if you're being cool about it, I'm happy to make
it convenient for you right now. If you're kind of
like bitchy about it, then I you know, like, no,
I don't want that. I don't want to have to
leave my name. Like I've had people flat out and
say I don't want to have to leave my neighborhood
for this. Yeah, but I'm sort of like, I'm like,

(01:32:53):
it's not like a middle point, it's not worth a
middle point. Middle point, But you're not willing to do anything. Yes,
you know, like I'm I'm gonna plan the date. I'm
gonna pay for the date. I'm gonna make the reservation.
I suggested a place. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
I've been there. I like it, you'll like it. I
thought about, you know whatever, And you just don't want
to have to go very far. Well, that's that, honestly
to your point earlier, like a few seconds ago, that's

(01:33:14):
a turnoff to me.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
You won't even meet me halfway.

Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
Halfway is not like bad, I'm not going to Milwaukee to.

Speaker 7 (01:33:20):
Meet you, but also like a first day, Why don't
you come to me in a way.

Speaker 2 (01:33:25):
And I will do that unless I get a certain
kind of response. Okay, then I'm sort of like turned
off by it. I'm like, oh, well, I was already
going to try and work with you here, but then
now you're like you won't even like you're not gonna
leave your block, like I'm gonna sit I have to
sit in an hour in traffic because you don't want
to leave you like you want to go to a
restaurant in your building, Like come on, like work with
me a little bit. But anyway, my point is, I digress.

(01:33:48):
Do you when you're first meeting someone, do you just
want us to ask you, like where do you want
to go?

Speaker 3 (01:33:54):
What do you want to do?

Speaker 2 (01:33:55):
And if we do, can you understand why and then
not go oh he's lazy, he's not planning it.

Speaker 3 (01:34:00):
It's a very good chance you're going to reroot us anyway.

Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Yeah, the girlies are going to come from me.

Speaker 7 (01:34:03):
But I'd rather you just ask me where I want
to go or what kind of food do I like?

Speaker 4 (01:34:07):
Kind of thing and we'll figure it out from there.

Speaker 7 (01:34:09):
Because here's the thing, Like I I don't want to
like you can plan the date, but I'm probably not
gonna like it because I'm so simple and that's my
own thing. I'd rather go, you know this, to Hooters
or Peppies or whatever. I'd rather go to like a
spot like that. Then you know, go to like the
five stars, five star, four star steakhouse.

Speaker 4 (01:34:24):
Like I'm not. I don't want to get dressed up
and do that.

Speaker 7 (01:34:26):
Like when Hay and I met pandemic times, Yes, but
we talked about wings and how much we love them
and all these things that I was like, Hey, have
you been to Danny's Pizza? I guess, And I love
Danny's pizza And He's like, actually haven't. It's in their neighborhood.
Guess where we went the next time Danny's Pizza?

Speaker 4 (01:34:39):
It was organic A. Yeah, I kind of flowed. You know,
you're gonna be confused now with my answer.

Speaker 3 (01:34:45):
Okay, what's your answer?

Speaker 6 (01:34:46):
You're gonna be confused. So I personally, and this is
maybe just a personal thing. I feel like I make
decisions all day long, like I'm a strong woman, you
know I'm doing it. I sometimes don't want to have
to make that decision, but I will say I will
eat anywhere and I can always find something, even a steakhouse,
and I don't eat beef, so I would love for
you to go do you.

Speaker 4 (01:35:05):
Want to go? Do you want to go to the
sushi spot at six?

Speaker 6 (01:35:08):
And then if I have an issue at the time
or don't eat sushi, then I feel like a woman
can say, but I would rather you go, hey, do
you want to go here?

Speaker 4 (01:35:14):
And then at least put it out there.

Speaker 6 (01:35:15):
But you're asking, you know, Okay, you want to go
get Italian at seven or whatever. I would like that,
but I'm also not going to be mad if you're like,
what kind of fould you like?

Speaker 4 (01:35:25):
Let's figure it out together. I mean, it's a good
man is a good man? It doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
Well, then this is what I would say, based on
the vastly different answers. Yeah, I would say this, and
I'll preface it by saying, and I've said this a
thousand times over the years, it is much harder to
be a woman, in my opinion, than a man. There
is no plight of the man in my opinion. I'm
not saying that, but what I will say is this,
if you're a woman who is constantly saying to your friends,

(01:35:51):
men don't approach me, or men don't plan dates, or
men it's the same script. Then I would just ask
that when a guy does plan a day, maybe be
unless you're really offended by or or can't eat whatever
it is, or really really have an objection for some reason,
then maybe just go with it, because I can tell

(01:36:12):
you guys will just learn to not plan dates after
being told every day they plan is not the date
you want to go on, and or every time you
know it takes a few times for a guy to
walk up and a girl to be and be respectful
and kind and appropriate and to be blown off or
laughed at or made fun of or whatever. And I'm
just speaking for all of mankind before they're not going
to do it anymore one hundred percent.

Speaker 6 (01:36:33):
I think we as women very much need to if
we're letting someone down, do it kindly. If we, you know,
have criticism, like I think it takes a lot to
approach you, to hit on you, And I think we
need to be to good men who are approaching us
with good faith, be kind, be kind.

Speaker 3 (01:36:50):
And I don't know, and there's no way to know
because they're probably people listening nuggle. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:36:53):
If he's a good guy, if he's respectful in his approach,
that's me. Yeah, right exactly, like if it's not to
creep or weird. And then, by the way, once we
get the if we get a know, we walk away,
we're done.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
No no, why you're not that hot anyway?

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
Or no stupid comment, Yes you're hot anyway, because I
walked up to you to begin with. I see guys
fumble this all the time, and I'm like, you're morons,
like shot, shoot your shot in the DMS, in person,
whatever you gonna do. And then if you get a yes,
so you get a no, then we're done. We're done.
I agree, we're done, but I guess I would ask

(01:37:28):
on the other side. You know, it's if you want
people to do that, then you're probably gonna get people
