I was like, what did you have to do so
bad in your past life that you come back as
an ants? Wow?

Speaker 4 (00:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
No, it's a full intelligence freeping every morning. It's intense.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Cat Justin Timberly makes a big announcement. Also, Lallapaloo's at
night one, there were surprise guests. There were multiple artists
on the lineup collabing. So we'll talk about.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
It, Kiki. Why did you choose to come back? Welcome back?
By the way, Hello, wait here, I can't wait to
hear about that.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
You choose to come back?

Speaker 1 (01:44):
That was Dan's hard stop. That was the whole sentence.
Why did you choose to come back? If I had
been in Hawaii, I'm not sure that I would choose
to come back. Sometimes when I'm on vacation, I wonder
if I choose to come back. But We were debating
this yesterday. Why come back on a Friday.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
I have obligations here in the city. Do you have obligations,
obligations in the big city. Yes, I need to feel
I feel.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Like my obligations would run through ten am on Friday morning.
But I know, hey, we're very grateful that you that
you came right back from vacation and then right to
the radio station to be part of the show. Very
grateful for that. I just don't think that's something that
I would do. Oh no, she has things to do.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think I have her, I have her book, sage.
She needs to be here.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yeah, looks blast.

Speaker 6 (02:26):
Yeah, yeah, I'm not working anywhere else and not coming.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, we did say that. We did say that, you know,
you ever doing that one? It's like high school It
is like it is like high school sports. You know,
it's you know, when I was on a basketball team,
I wish the captain one year. I was wow, I was, yeah, No,
I did.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
I told us that.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I think, well, thank you. I think if you add up,
I think if you Lebron James average game represents my
stats for all four years, So that should tell you something. No,
that's not good. Pup I know it's not you look
like Okay, Fredville, No, I think he had. You know,
if he has twenty five points in a game, I
had twenty five points in four years. I was not
very good. It was the biggest waste of six foot

(03:04):
five you've ever seen in your life. Well, but if
you didn't go to school, you couldn't play in the game, right,
So that's why I was like, hmmm, I wonder if
she's gonna pop up somewhere. I think some other event.
It pays better than there's a function, right, pop up
in some other function. And then so I guess in
that respect, Okay, I just think, like for my mental health,

(03:24):
I'll think I could go on vacation and arrive on
a Thursday only to have to work on Friday morning.
But then again, you work on Friday morning, and then
you know, you get a couple of mornings off at least.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
Well, yeah, and that the vacation I went on was
a jet to holiday for real, for real.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
So I'm just happy to all of you. Let's just
talk about it. Let's talk about your vacation. We're very
happy that you're back, thank you. We're very happy that
you're back. But let's talk about this, because they were
parts of this I somehow missed. Oh like, for example,
I didn't know there was an emergency landing and an
arrival into Minnesota. Somehow, I don't know how I missed
that part. Yes, yes, so it was air Okay, So

(04:01):
you leave and you're on your way to Seattle to
then connect from Seattle to Hawaii. And so here we are.
We're on our little plane yep, Sunday morning right now.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Mind you you started all of this because you did.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
You did headlines the week before I left, and you
were like, hey, Alaska Airlines is having computer issues.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
But that was on that day. It was on yours day.

Speaker 6 (04:23):
Well, it turns out the headlines were right because we
got on Alaska Airlines and the whole thing shut down
while we were in the air.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
The pilot got on the little speaker for his voice
was shaky, and he was like, Hey, we're gonna go
ahead do it emergency landing because the computer is crashing,
and yeah, so buckle up. So we land in Minnesota,
and I'm like, I've never been in Minnesota, So what's
going on?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
We're in Minnesota, Minneapolis, Yes, okay, so you land in Minneapolis,
all right, and I'm get off the plane.

Speaker 6 (04:57):
We get off the plane and they're like, well, have
a seat or and you relax because we got to
figure this out and then we can hopefully get you
guys to Seattle. Now, mind drive a connecting flight in Seattle.
So we've missed that, okay, Oh I see yeah, and
then I'm looking it up.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
There's no other way to Hawaii. But Minneapolis is beautiful
this time of year. I mean, if you close your eyes,
it's very similar. It's not Hawaii.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
But okay, so we land or whatever. They finally get
us to Seattle. Once we get in Seattle, they're like, okay,
so you guys are gonna have to spend the night here.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
That wasn't the same plane. They fixed the same plane.
They go get another plane.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I think they I think they put us back.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
On the same so they would ahead and hit control
a delete on the plane, and then they were like, oh,
this looks good. Okay, so then you're back on there
all right.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
M hm.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
We get to Seattle and they're like, you're spending the
night in Seattle, so go ahead and get comfy. So
we're like, wait, but we have my aunt who's meeting
us in Hawaii from Dallas?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
How is she gonna get to the resort? Like, we
got to pick her up?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
They already hit control all delete on that plane. They're fine,
they're radio. They give you a hotel. At least they
gave us a hotel.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
They gave us some food vouchers and we get but
they won't give us our bags. So now we're sleeping. Yes,
so now we're sleep in Seattle in our clothes. Okay,
I had to blow drive underwear. Okay, it was very.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yes, you had to blow thune.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Was your aunt just like in Hawaii? Like, hey, hey,
how y'all doing. Yes, she's at the airport in Hawaii.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
And then she's trying to get into the resort and
we're like, you can't get in because everything is in
my sister's name. She finesses her way into the resort.
I don't know how she did it, But by the
time we got there, that lady had on her little
low hog band what.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
They call it lay yeah band. She had her band.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, yes, she was in and vibing.

Speaker 6 (06:45):
She had cooked the meal by the time we got there. Yeah,
she finessed her way into our room.

Speaker 2 (06:49):
Somehow.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
But yeah, we stayed the night in Seattle, finally got
to Hawaii only to check in, and then the next
day the sooner I'm be pulled up.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Yeah, so, how did that news arrive to you? Because
what I'm seeing on on your on your social feeds
was like beautiful weather and it looked like it looked
very nice and everything, and then it's and then people
start dming me, going have you heard about the tsunami?
And I'm like no, and then they're like, this is
a tsunami. It was an earthquake and the tsunami is

(07:18):
kiki okay and all this stuff. So then I text you,
and then the group text you right after that. I
really don't need it because she was in Hawaii, so
and they you know, they have they have a looha,
they have aloha bands, and they speak English there primarily.
But so, but did it ever get like nasty? No.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
So we're outside vibing, driving around and the way that
I found out about the tsunami was I was at
a food truck and the guy was serving us tacos
from the food truck and we handed us He said,
all right, be safe, guys.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Enjoy your last meal.

Speaker 6 (07:52):
Yeah, he goes be safe, and I was like, why
you said hey? He was like, oh, there's a tsunami coming.
So I was like, wait coming here. It was like, yeah, girl,
coming here.

Speaker 7 (08:02):
He started yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
He started closing his little window.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Tuck helly.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
So I get, you know, my little taco, and I'm like, girl,
we gotta go. Like we all pack in.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
The car and we're driving, and then that's when everybody
starts texting. I started googling what's happening and it's like
a real so not be coming and it says get inland.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I don't know what that is, bro, I'm.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
So how was the taco? Was a good taco? Was amazing?

Speaker 6 (08:36):
It was what Maria but I can't I can never
pronounce it.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Burry Pio.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
It was a period with your law man and we
you know, so we run back to the resort and
we get there and we just we're like what are
we going to do? And that you know, people are
d m and you know, be safe and take cover
and you know, what do you are you gonna leave?
They can't leave. There's nowhere to go. The resort wouldn't
even let you off the land. So we're just like, hey,

(09:06):
we just got to wait this out. And you know,
that's when I pulled out my mace and I fought
that Soonami.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah yeah, and it never arrived. Right, It was like
big waves for a little bit.

Speaker 6 (09:16):
But that was it, when I tell you, it was nothing,
like not not well, thank god it was nothing. Thank god,
thank god it was nothing.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
And we set up.

Speaker 6 (09:25):
We watched and we could see the ocean from our
resort and people were out on their balconies just watching
and waiting, and thankfully nothing pulled up. Yeah, but I
was terrified for a little bit, not gonna lie. And
then when you're in those type of situations, like everybody's
texting you like be safe, like you know, uh.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Be careful, I'm like, what do you want her to
do it?

Speaker 6 (09:49):
I was supposed to, So I'm like, let me tell
this and not be like friends, sa'd be safe.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
I want you to know you were out there, you know, okay, yeah,
I know You're out there grabbing some waves. Yeah right,
and I know that you're the big daredevil and you
were like, oh, even bigger waves. So you grabbed your board,
you know, and you were and I was like, you
don't do that, and don't do that and it needs
you to come back on Friday morning.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah. Yeah, it was wild. It really was.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
I don't know. I mean, here's the thing. I texted you,
be safe. A lot of people probably texted you be safe,
you know, be careful, whatever, but don't even lie to me.
You were taking inventory to people who didn't. Oh we
didn't reach out if people didn't text you, like, are
you okay? You know, be careful, be saved. I mean, so,
what are you supposed to say to that? Like? Nice
knowing you? Like, what are we supposed to text you?

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Keep me updated? Yeah? Please?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
No, I was, I actually I was. I was shocked
by the amount of people who actually cared. I was like, oh, wow,
like the people actually care. If I make it back,
I would love for you not to get blown away
in scenami.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I would love for that.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
It made me feel really special, like for real.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
For I joke a lot, but I was like in
that moment, even in my family they were like wow people,
you know, my phone was ding ding nini and people
are like, oh, they actually care about you.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
I was like, wow, you actually have friends of course.
Yeah that's nice. Yeah, that's nice.

Speaker 7 (11:04):
Good.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Well, I'm glad you're back. Thank you. I'm sorry that
it was an eventful trip, but was there any part
of it that you were like, this is great. Okay,
that's the worst. I'm sorry. I feel bad. That's the worst.
You looked good. You all looked happy. So that's why
I'm surprised to hear that it wasn't you really put
it on for Instagram will tell you that.

Speaker 6 (11:23):
Yeah, it was a lot of you know, ups and
downs with the trout, you know how I feel some going.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
On in the government.

Speaker 6 (11:29):
Is some going on in the aviation world because their
ducks are not in order.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Okay, that was on air Kiki. That was me. I mean,
I think your ducks are in order.

Speaker 6 (11:39):
Government's getting delayed. It's like it's something going on. It's
like almost a restaurant who's short staff. Okay, people just
doing stuff. Yeah airport, Yeah. On a k also has
the theory about the tsunami.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
When you when you flew, they lost your bags.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
And yeah, I wasn't gonna blame that on the government.
If it's the government's fault. It was the Brazilian government's fault,
and I'm certainly not going to blame it on them.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
And everybody's doing a great show.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I don't governments, but yeah, no, I don't take that either.
But no, but the ones that i'm the ones that
can hear me.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Now I'm the bad ones. I don't want to be
on the band side.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Someone texted, is Kiki a mace user?

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yes, Fred's show is on. Fred's the biggest stories of
the day. So for our Chicago friends and people nearby,
the air quality was the worst in the world yesterday,
in the whole world in Chicago, and of course everyone's
outside for lat of palous and whatever else. So air
quality alerts remain in effect for the Chicago area today.

(12:42):
Did do to smoke from the Canadian wildfires?

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Is that why my voice was so deep when I
woke up?

Speaker 1 (12:46):
I was like, hello, Yeah, you sounded like met this. No,
I don't. I don't know. Maybe I'm not sure. I
think it's Canada. Like they turned the fans on. Man,
they're blowing it at us. They're like, you, guys, they're smoking.
The lower levels of the atmosphere will not be as
dense on Friday as on Thursday, but will remain at
unhealthy levels, and for sensitive groups it'll be unhealthy throughout

(13:08):
the day. The Environmental Protection Agency issued an air quality
alert for most of the Chicago area northwest Sydiana through Friday.
Heavy storms that developed on Thursday afternoon and lasted through
the evening dump torrential rain on millions of people in
the mid Atlantic and the Northeast regions. All that water
reeked taffock along the I ninety five corridor, flooding roads
and stranding workers in several states. In New York City,

(13:31):
videos from inside Grand Central Terminal showed a Metro North
train drenched in water. One passenger said that being inside
the train car felt like being in a car wash.
Intense rains caused leaks at different stations in Philadelphia. The
storms also disrupted air travel. Ground stops at major airports
in New York DC, and thousands of flights were canceled

(13:53):
or delayed. So it wasn't just TOWAYU, Okay, what did you?
It was all these other people too.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
In shout out to the pilots and crew and all
the people working in the airlines, Like I joke around,
but I'm like, I appreciate them for making the effort
to keep us safe. Like it's just such an inconvenience.
But in the grand scheme of things. Please emergency land
me and don't keep driving without your GPS system, like
I appreciate.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Do not keep driving without the GPS. No, it says Kiki.
I no, I agree. I agree. It was like a
couple of weeks ago when everybody was all upset they
had to land some it's some random island of the
Azores or whatever. And it's like, I got the alternative.
Could have been right that they ran out of gas yep,
or you didn't get there fast, you know that. I
mean one engine, when you're over the engine over the ocean,
I think I'd rather just let's just go. Let's just

(14:36):
go to the Azores, right, You're on an island, just
chill right like it sucks like there's no one telling
you that. You know, it's not going to lay your plans.
You have to call your boss, and it's a big
it's an inconvenience and logistically it's a night. But but
here's the alternative, the alternative, something bad happens. Exactly just
landed playing it on the ground. The crew did a
great job. Same in your case, and you get to Hawaii.
When you get to Hawaii in time for a tsunami.

(14:57):
They got you there writing time. You didn't miss it.
The average home destroyed in the La wildfires was worth
three point seven million dollars, and the city's facing an
estimated fifty one billion dollars in total losses. How do
people afford to live in California? Now? I realized that
was a nice part of California. But there were one
hundred homes destroyed in the fires that were valued at

(15:18):
twenty million dollars or more, and many were located in
celebrity favored enclaves. But three point seven million dollars, there's
the average house that was burned down and out. I mean,
the insurance claims are going to go crazy. And fifty
one point seven billion residential property value was wiped out
within La city limits. The figure excludes damage from the
separate Eaton fire in Altadena, suggesting actual losses could be

(15:41):
even higher. It was one of the most costly wildfires
in California history, and it's going to be a huge
financial blow, you know, for a lot of different aspects
of the city and the state and insurance and all
the rest. Elon Musk is trending today. This is interesting,
though not not for any kind of weird stuff. He's
not hanging on the Oval office again, He's not. I mean,

(16:01):
maybe he is making more kids somewhere. I don't know
for his little tribe that he's creating. But the Boring
Company is the name of his company. Has launched plans
for the Music City Loop, which is a privately funded
underground transit project in Nashville, which is pulling his favorite place.
The project will create a ten mile tunnel system connecting
downtown Nashville, including the Convention Center, to Nashville International Airport

(16:22):
using electric Tesla vehicles, aiming to cut the commute to
about eight minutes. The governor emphasized the zero cost solution
for taxpayers, and the initial segment could open by fall
twenty twenty six at the earliest. They've approved use of
a state of the art sty excuse me, a state
owned parking lot for staging under a lease with no
upfront rent and no restoration obligations within two years. So

(16:45):
if you allowed to go to Nashville, they have a
lot of traffic there, then you could do this thing,
I guess hopping elon mussel little uber thing, go on
a tunnel, teleports your way there and They're also going
to have a stop right to Jay Cutler's house, so
you guys can stop right by if you've been listening
to the show for a while. These guys, Paulina and
Jason went to Nashville, and of all the things to do,

(17:07):
don't go to Broadway, don't go to a concert, don't
go to Losers or Winners for trout. No no, no,
no no no. Let's drive out to the suburbs of
Nashville to j Cutler's home.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Yes, well, no, Kristin Cavalaria's home.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
He just happened to live there, only to find him
mowing his lawn wondering who the hell these random people
were that pulled up on his house. Yes, anyways, Elus
is going to make it much easier now, perfect for
you to do that. And then a couple drunk stories
for you, and this one again. I know I gotta

(17:40):
ask you know, we don't have cures to many diseases,
but we do know that females who are heavy drinkers
are more likely to get pregnant. Women who drank heavily
had a fifty percent higher risk of unwanted pregnancy compared
to those who drank moderately or not at all. More
than half of the unwanted pregnancies occurred in this group.
By contrast, frequent cannabis use did not increase the risk
of unintended pregnancy. Well, I can tell you why, right am?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
I Just like, Hey, I'm drunk, let's do it.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Researchers found the heavy drinkers actually had a stronger desire
to avoid pregnancy. It's still experienced more unintended pregnancy is
the next step finding out why that happens. Okay, love it.
I'll save you guys some money whenever you got left
in the study. Go ahead, venmo that to me. You
drink a lot, your inhibitions go down, and you're more
likely to make a poor decision and not be thoughtful
about the consequences. When you're stoned, you're more likely to

(18:28):
want to eat a pizza and watch forensic files than
you are to want to get it on with someone else. Right,
like to put on your comfies and sit on the
couch and eat and fall asleep. So closed and scene.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
You nailed that one.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I have a PhD. I have a PhD. Bhr doctor Fred,
you are welcome. I just saw I cracked the case, right,
I will take whatever is left. Really the next step
figuring out why yeah, oh my god. And a drunk
man took airport casts to a whole new level. And
Paulin and I were talking about this earlier in the week.

(19:06):
It was like a fire extinguisher. Someone grabbed a fire
extinguisher and the terminal starts spraying people with it. Okay,
there's number one way to make sure you don't get
to that. You take Greyhound for the rest of your life.
Like again, you're acting up in an airport, you're acting
up in on the plane. You know you're trying to
even if you just even if you're just being silly,
you start saying stuff, you know whatever, look at weird

(19:27):
stuff on your phone. You're gonna get tackled. You're gonna
get zip tied. You're gonna get those little seatbelts that
use for the demonstration. I'm gonna tie you up with that,
and you're never flying again. But a trunk man took
airport cast to a whole new level at the Buffalo
International Airport by stealing a golf cart and driving it
down a terminal's moving walkway. Police say that a twenty
nine year old man crashed through glass panels during his

(19:48):
one am joy ride before being tackled by officers. He
now faces multiple charges, including grand larceny and criminal missip.
Why do you think it is that people tend to
get so drunk at the airport? Do you think the
it's because they're stressed about the flight? Do you think
that it's because they're already kind of in travel mode
on vacation kind of thing. Yeah, But like I suppose,

(20:11):
if I'm going on vacation, I might be more likely
to have a couple of cocktails on the plane, more
than I might normally, or more than I might at all.
I'm traveling for work, I don't I'm not like, yeah,
I'll take you know, I'll take a few of those
mini bottles of wine. I don't know. There's not in
that mode. But if I'm going on vacation, then I
might do that. But why are people getting hammered in
the airport? Plus, it's expensive, it's really exciting to get

(20:31):
hammered in the airport.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
I did an airport bar crawl one time. It was
very expensive.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
That's your most iconic story, I think.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Do you think it is?

Speaker 5 (20:39):
It's a really good story and very like spontaneous, which
I feel like, are you often spontaneous?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Not really, it's wild. Might I might have expanded beyond
ten stories. It's possible I'm up to like eleven or twelve.
I think, so you've all. I went on an airport
bar crawl. I hurt with a lady. You don't have
so I don't have to.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
But you also do other things in the airport too.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
But sometimes they look at Kiki just to make sure
she's heard the story, because we do have new listeners
to this. I went on airport bart I met a
girl on a planet. It was a long way over.
I went on the airport bark crawl, and I may
or may not have done some other things in the
Centurion lounge because she had a one fancy credit cards
and they have a little massade. They have a little
nap room.

Speaker 2 (21:17):
He's not invited back.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
No, I'm not allowed to. I'm not allowed to have
the credit card at all.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Your face is on the wall.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
No, it is just right. They're like, okay, this guy. No,
they have little rooms where you can take a nap and.

at like IP addresses on this thing.

Speaker 8 (21:59):
Let me just say, Pink Pony Club, Yes, please kill.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
But what I don't know is that I'm gonna push

me to see what it will take for me to
finally jump out the window. And then the windows don't
try well, they don't open, so then I would have
to I'd have to go get the golf cart from
the airport. Girl, I've tried. I know how to get
to the roof though they handled. I take a picture
of this one. Now you're toeling it's busy, which I
would be on my phone. I'm literally like, it looks

(22:51):

me with all my little buttons. It looks like that's
the blue screen of death he used to get from
Microsoft from Windows. Okay, all right, well let's just roll

Speaker 2 (24:21):
Okay? All right?

Speaker 1 (24:22):

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Why don't you want to cry? I'm the one who is.
You're looking at this like, what am I gonna do
for the next four hours?

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Somebody blaming me on the tap? It is key. She
brought it back from Hawaii. I need to get some sage.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
I never had this occur in my entire Usually there's
like a there was some form of backup plan. I
can't play any audio, but at least we can play
us weird on the air is wild, Like, honestly, I've
never had. There's always been a workaround, like I can
I don't know, like I can like plug in my
ox cord and play their phones off my phone or

(25:03):
something the microphone. We're about there, but then we have
to sit here in silence. All right, go ahead, cale
real time.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Okay, everybody, we got this. We got this.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
In an Instagram post yesterday, Justin Timberlake commemorated the end
of his Forget Tomorrow Tour the World tour, which wrapped
in Turkey on Wednesday. He also shared that he has
been diagnosed with lime disease, writing that the disease can
be relentlessly debilitating, both mentally and physically.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
He said that he considered ending the.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
Tour when he was diagnosed, but he decided that the
joy of performing, uh, the joy that performing brings him,
I should say, far outweighed the stress that his body
was feeling. This, of course, comes as he was being
criticized for seeming to lack energy toward the end of
his two year tour. Limes disease, if you didn't know,
is transmitted by what's commonly known as deer ticks. It

(25:55):
can cause flu like symptoms, neurological problems, joint pain, other symptoms,
and it's it's kind of tricky because it's they call
it an invisible illness, so you, I think you feel
like crap for a really long time until they figure
out that you have it. But he did share that,
and that's probably, you know, that is an explanation for
why he hasn't been looking or seeming like himself. Lalapalooza

(26:17):
kicked off in Grant Park in Chicago last night.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Wow, Okay, it's more fooleg than I ever get his
to me. We're gonna get legs and license.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
You wanted a bed, I'm just giving a little music,
So Lala, more.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Than one hundred and seventy artists are going to hit
eight stages last night through Sunday. Last night it was
ty Tyler, the creator and Luke Colmbs has Haadliners, But
before that, it was Miss Gracie Abrams and I have
to tell y'all, I was there. I think her crowd
rivaled Chapel Rone's crowd. I don't know that it'll be
the I don't know that it'll be bigger, but I
think it was up there in the conversation.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Paulina and Jason were also there.

Speaker 5 (27:09):
They got stuck in the tsunami of women running towards
Gracie and it was all women and then a couple
of street men that were dragged there and you guys.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
The last song, the very last song. I looked up
on stage.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
She brought out Robin and my heart exploded for my
favorite Robin song, Dancing on my Own. It was iconic.
A gen Z behind me said who is that? And
I was really upset about that. Yeah, but Jason.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Made a good point.

Speaker 5 (27:36):
She's probably trying to get the gaze because she had
the girls. She definitely has the girls. We need to
get the gaze. Robin looked good. It was so so fun,
so I don't know, it's amazing. And then Luke Holmes
brought out Alex war Warren to do ordinary Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
That unexpected. I wouldn't have expected be Yeah.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
So they both performed separately yesterday and then he brought
him back out and Luke's voice sounded amazing on that song.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Shall I do one more?

Speaker 1 (28:03):
You may as well as we're going to be here
for a while, so love this.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
You know what it feels like.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
It feels like we lost power and we just have
like you know, candles and stuff and one business.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, someone texted, I'm loving the panic and anger. It's real.
There's no real panic. It's just I don't I like
a little like mate, I'd like to know what we're
doing here, Like, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
More panic than anger. I don't think anyone's it's more.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Anger than panic. No, I'm not. I don't know why
your panic. Just keep talking. It's fine. I'm trying to
figure out what. Yeah. Yeah, we got some things we
got to do technically that I don't know how we're
going to do any keep it over.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, it's been a morning.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Okay, Tyra Banks is back giving us tm I that
we never asked for. So this is coming. Yeah, so
this comes days after Remember she eats in bed and
then she eats crumbs off the floor to clean them.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (28:55):
So now the former model who is beautiful but disgusting,
shared her what she called an erotic habit her words,
not mine on Today with Jenna and Fronts.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Which is what it's now called apparently.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
And it turns out she's into scraping stuff off of toes,
particularly ToeJam that's occasionally brown, green and stinky. She likes
to do it off of her man's feet, and she
likes to pop their pimples.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Why is she so pretty and so gross? Why is
she both feet? Stuff?

Speaker 1 (29:23):
I'm not here for. I do like popping up pipole.
I love it stuff. I'll be honest, I do too.
It's very satisfying.

Speaker 5 (29:29):
And someone else on me, Oh okay, she likes to
do this on her men and she likes their toejams.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Oh no, no, no, no no, I'm not doing that for
anyone else. But that's a level of love and affection. Well,
I don't. I don't know, because I feel like people
do things for each other in relationships when they live
together and love each other. I feel like people do
things that they wouldn't do otherwise, Like I don't. People
do things for their children that they wouldn't necessarily And
I get kids because kids are kind of helpless. But

(29:55):
I've heard about people doing things and I would love
for me. If you'd like to text what you think
about that's I'll read it. I'll read it and as
many voices as I can do, because I wouldn't be
able to answer the phone. That would be.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
That would be like in a medical emergency, for sure.
But this is a choice that she's making and no
one asked her to do this. But yeah, my partner
was like throwing up or sick or needed me. I
will be there, But well that's different.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I mean I'm talking about like check my butt for hemorrhoids,
or like I don't know, pop the pimple on my booty,
or you know, pull something out of where can you?

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Jason.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
I've seen videos where women are it's like a TikTok trick,
but you know, they'll say like, hey, I need you
to look in there for this or whatever, and the
guys just stand there kind of stunned. And then you know,
the whole gimmick is will he say yes or no?
You know, and the guys most of the time say okay,
because it's like if you really needed me to do that,
of course I would do it, But do you do

(30:47):
you really need me to do that? Like if you
came to me and been like, hey, I think something
I need you to like pull something out of somewhere,
I'd be like, oh, I would stand there stuned for
a second. I mean, if if I love you and
then you need me to do that, that I am
going to do that.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
But I know there'd be a friendship in this wall.
You'd run right through it.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
I would never do it, but I don't think i'd
ever recover.

Speaker 5 (31:10):
Okay, all right, Yeah, well there you go. If you
want to catch up on anything you missed from the show.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
You can do so much.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
There's gonna be a lot today, I.

Speaker 5 (31:18):
Think on demand on the free I Heart Radio up.
But if you could set us as a preset, please,
we need your help.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
So if you're just tuning in, we are apparently on
the air, except I have I have a thing in
front of me. It's a what is it the board
and the control board, right, and it used to be
like wires way back in the day. It would be
like a wire connected to a device and you know
something and you do whatever. But now it's all digital.
And so we just did a little thing and then

(31:44):
I looked down onto the thing and all it says
is a bunch of IP addresses and panel just connected
and I literally cannot play any audio except what you're
listening to right now, which is I'm kind of amazed
that you can hear this.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, this is shocked.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Normally it's just random sounds playing, right, but I'm I'm
this is a I'm at a loss for words, which
is the wrong time to be the loss of a word,
because we need all the words right now, right all
of them. In my entire I've been doing this since
I was sixteen years old. I'm not going to tell
you how long that is. It's a very long time.
And I've never been in a situation. I mean, I've
been in a situation where we had to play where

(32:21):
we had one CD all we can only play off
one CD player and we only had someone thought of
the brainiac idea that if the computer went down, we
would have us CD with the current songs on it,
but just once. So we had to so literally we'd
play the song and then be like all right, hey
it's the radio station. Hey it's friend, and then I'm

(32:41):
hitting next next, you know, like like next track. So
I had to talk between every song for an hour
because while they got the engineer office boat to come
and like figure out you know why, But we can't
even do that because we don't.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Have Yeah, if you'd like, you can talk to our
engineer off the boat if you want to check this out.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
I can do a blog if you like.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Well, why I'm speak I'm supposed to do something about this,
So I'm supposed to solve the problem.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
I might meet your assistance on this.

Speaker 1 (33:10):

trying to be positive In twenty twenty five, Fred's show
is the woman who has the world's longest female tongue.
He says that people's creaming shock when they see it.
It measured three point eight inches long. Not how many

(34:14):
times she's sticking her tongue out, But it's three point
eight inches long from the tipped to her lips, so
that doesn't include the party inside her mouth.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Wait, how long from the tip to the lip?

Speaker 1 (34:23):
Almost four inches three point eight inches, so it's about
as far from here to here. Oh, it looks like that, which,
of course everyone can see. You know when I say
it looks like that, because we're on the radio, people's
cream in shock when she shows her lengthy organ same
come on the California resident. Chanelle Tapper reveals that she

(34:45):
enjoys seeing people's reactions. There's a variety of bizarre tricks
she can perform with her extravagantly long tongue, raging from
flipping cups to removing Jenga blocks and holding up soon
by curling her tongue around the utensil. Girl, it's like
an elephant tusk. Ever been less waiting by the phone.

(35:07):
It's the Fred Show. Oh and good morning welcome to
the program. How are you hey, good morning? What's going
out with this woman Courtney? We got to understand what's
going on with Courtney, how you met, any dates you've
been on? And then where things are now?

Speaker 4 (35:19):
Yeah, So I met Courtney out in the real world,
which was cool, not on dating app.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
And you approached another human and like you as a human,
approach another human, and then you use your mouth to speak,
and you were like smooth enough that the other person
responded favorably and gave you her phone number.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
In twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
This is absolutely unheard of. Okay, all right, well tell
me more about this historical moment.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
So I was at this bar with a few friends.
I met her out on the patio. She was with
her respective group of friends, and we wound up just
all hanging out, started talking, and we actually went to
another bar together, and that's when I asked Ortney for
a number, and I invited her out the following weekend

(36:07):
because one of my friends that was at the bar
was having this party and she said, yeah, I'm down,
and she showed up and we had a great time.
I really liked her, and I thought it was honestly,
I thought it was super hot. How she held her
own at the party. You know, she wasn't awkward, she
was really talkative, got along with everyone. And I haven't

(36:29):
talked to her since that was the last time.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
It was that's her party. So this wasn't when you
invited her out to this party. This was not the
first time you had met because we've heard over the
years about people who are like, I know, a great
first aid idea, let's meet a bunch of strangers, and
that's not what you did here. Like, you guys already
kind of had established a baseline with one another before
you did that.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
Oh yeah, initially when I first met her. I mean
we had hung out all night, you know, since being
at the bar, and okay, I figured that she'd enjoyed
the party because it was being thrown by one of
the guys that was there.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, that's a big difference, right, that's a huge difference.
You guys already kind of had established that you knew
each other and the vibe and whatever. All right, So
you haven't heard from this woman since what was really
the second date and and since you went to this
party together. So let's call Courtney. We're gonna see if
we can get her on the phone. We're going to
ask these questions on your behalfors of what. You're welcome
to jump in on the call and hopefully there's something
going on and we get straightened out and then set

(37:20):
you guys up on another date that we paid for.
Sound good. Part two of waiting by the phone. Hey, Owen, Yeah,
all right, welcome back. Let's call Courtney. You guys, you
met out, so you met in person a couple of
groups kind of matched at a bar or whatever. You
started talking, got her number and then decided, Hey, I'm
going to a party with my friends, you know this
following weekend after we met, you want to go with us?

(37:42):
She said yes, and you felt like she did, you know,
really well with your friends and kind of fit in.
Except you have not heard from Courtney since that date,
and you want to know why. That's right, all right,
let's call her now. Good luck, Owen, cool, thank you for.

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Hi is his Courtney? Hi Courtney, good morning. My name
is Friend. I'm calling for the Friend's Show. The whole
crew is here. I have to tell you that we
are on the radio. It's a morning radio show. We
are on the radio, and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can we you have for
a minute? Wait? What can we talk on the show
for a little bit. You can hang up anytime. I
just you got to say yes, yes, perfect, Thank you.

(38:28):
I know it's a little bit strange, but we're calling
on behalf of a guy named Owen who I guess
you met him out one night with some friends and
then recently went to a party together. Do you remember
this guy?

Speaker 7 (38:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yeah, Okay, Well what.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Happened with him? Because he called us and we just
spoke with him, and he, you know, told us kind
of how you met and that you guys had gone
out and he liked you a lot and was hoping
to hear from you again. And he says he can't
get a hold of you. Now we had we had
no issue. So what happened? Why don't you want to
talk to this guy?

Speaker 7 (38:56):
That's funny? Yeah, I mean he's like he was cool.

Speaker 9 (39:01):
We we met, like, you know, we were both out
with our friends and everything, and and yeah it was cool.
And he invited me to this party and I went,
but I lost him like halfway through and I couldn't
find him, and.

Speaker 7 (39:21):
I was you know, I even asked other people. I'm like,
have you seen he in? And like no one had,
And so I texted him and he messaged me back
and he was like I'm in bed.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
What like he like saund a bedroom and he was
like come here there, like what I mean? Like what
what do you mean? It was like where where was
this bed that he was in?

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Like he was at home?

Speaker 1 (39:44):
He left you at a so he irish exited a
party that he invited you two with people that you
didn't know, and I just went home and didn't say goodbye.

Speaker 7 (39:55):
Yeah, like he said, he sound like what do you say?
It was like the perfect opportunity to leave, so he.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Left no hold on, Oh that's Owen. By the way,
I sorry, Courtney, I forgot to mention that Owen is here.
You also forgot to mention you left her at the
party with people she had just met that were your friends.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
I did not leave her at the party. I didn't
just leave her at the party.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well, you were in bed at a different location. So
my definition, you left her somewhere right right, So you
call me crazy here, but I'm gonna I'm gonna take
a leap and say you left her somewhere.

Speaker 4 (40:33):
No she was having a good time at the party.
I was ready to leap. I was tired. I wanted
to go home.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
Okay, but did you have that conversation where you like, Hey,
I'm ready to get out of here here. Here's the
conversation that you should have had that I don't think
you had. And I'll be both characters. Okay, so I'm
owen Hey, Courtney, I really I'm tired. I think I
might leave, and Courtney goes I'm having a really good time.
Your friends just so nice, and I'm owing again. You

(41:02):
should stay at the party then and have a great
time if you want to, Like, you don't have to leave,
but I need to go home. Okay. Well, I'm going
to stay hang out with your friends and I'll call
you tomorrow. Okay, great, Courtney, you have a great night.
That would have been a nice exchange. I'm guessing that
that's the part we missed.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Okay, But do you not know people who irish exit?

Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yes? I do when I look at them. Look, I
am a professional. I am. I am a PhD in this.
But when I bring someone to an event, I either
tell them I'm going to do this and they come
with me, or they choose to stay or go. Like it,
I have to inform the person who I who I
brought to the event, that I'm doing this. I can't
irish exit the date, especially if I expect to see

(41:44):
them again.

Speaker 4 (41:44):
Courtney, were you having a good time?

Speaker 7 (41:46):
If I was having a good time on like a
dinner date, would you leave that great? Because I was
having a good time at dinner.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
Yeah, but you were talking to the people that were there.
You were having a good time. I didn't want to
prohibit you from continuing to have a good time. I
was just ready to go home, and that was it.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
I mean to communicate, like say that then something.

Speaker 7 (42:05):
Like I can't set that out like the voo.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, what if you said that at
the zoom man, like you guys are looking at the elephants,
but I gotta go to the bathroom, and before long
it's just her looking at the elephants alone. It's a
terrible story.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Look, I didn't want to keep you from continuing to
have a good night. I was ready to go. We're adults.
I texted you right away when you texted me, like, bro,
I didn't just completely disappear.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Okay when you leave?

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Yeah, yeah, he's not understanding. No, you're not, and we're
missing we're missing the step about communicating with the person
who you were supposed to be spending the evening with.
But okay, look, Courtney, I'll ask the question. I think
I know the answer. But would you I think he
could have easily said, oh, my god, my bad. I
don't know. I thought you were having a good time,
and I bowce, I'm so sorry that we could have
taken that path, but we didn't. So would you like

(42:58):
to go out with Owen again? We'll pay for it,
and we can't promise you you'll stay for the whole date.

Speaker 7 (43:01):
But maybe Look, I'd say he did the bare minimum,
but he I don't know. Somehow he did less than that.
So I'm like rolling with no.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
Oh, and you could have you might have been able
to fix this much. You didn't, So I'm sorry it's
not going to work out. Courtney. Thank you for your time.
Owe In bested luck to you as well. It's entertainer report.
He's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 4 (43:21):
All right.

Speaker 5 (43:22):
First of all, before I start, we are yes having
some technical difficulties today.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
I hate to say it.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
I think Mercury is doing her thing, her big one
right now. We also just found out that a lot
of this is controlled by an nano and if you
you know know what an iPod nano is, then it's
time to use wrinkle cream.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
But yes, we are having technical.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
Difficulties and you know I'm fighting for my life over here,
all right. Hull Kogan's official cause of death has been
revealed that he died of a heart attack. Remember the
initial call to nine to one one, so he appeared
to be in cardiac arrest.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
We kind of knew this was coming. But even more.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
Surprising is that his records also suggests that he battled
leukemia at some point. Haven't heard any details on when,
and as far as I know, I have never seen
him talk publicly about having cancer, so I think that
that was the big note there. He also had a
fib ak and irregular heartbeat, So rip Hulk, moving on.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
To another rip. I can't believe it.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest at his home in
England yesterday following that public memorial service.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
I'm sure you saw photos in Birmingham.

Speaker 5 (44:27):
The very intimate ceremony at his house was attended by
people like out In John, Marilyn Manson members of Metallica
and his Black Sabbath bandmates. Fans also paid tribute all
over the city. My favorite photo is a flower arrangement
that reads Ozzy efing Osbourne.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
So rip, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
It's a sad week, Swifties, I have to move on
to a fun story. I want to leave you with
a fun story because things are chaotic right now and
we did two sad ones. So Swifties have a theory
that Taylor made a cameo alongside boyfriend Travis Kelcey in
Happy Gilmore Too. Okay, so if you saw it, or
if you didn't see it, maybe you saw photos or whatever.

(45:09):
There's a scene where Bad Bunny's character slathers up Travis
Kelcey and honey and he gets mulled by a bear.
There was some behind the scenes video shown of the
before of him interacting with this bear, and fans think
that Miss Taylor Ellison swift one l was in the
bear costume alongside her boyfriend, and.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
I honestly wouldn't put put it past her.

Speaker 5 (45:32):
She loves to do a little sneaky stuff and I
think she was in there.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
I'm choosing to believe that because we need to win today.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
Fred Show, Good morning, thanks for having us on the radio,
on the iHeart app Live and anytime search for a
Fred Show on demand. Guys, I don't know how many
of you have like teenage kids. Obviously no one in
the room does. I mean, I know that Geechee's like
two going on, yeah, you know, seventeen. However, this is
the latest thing that you didn't know you needed to
do as a parent that I'm learning this morning. It's

(46:02):
called the college bed party. Have you heard about this
or you have, Yeah, you've heard about this. So people, parents,
by people, I mean parents only people with money in
this equation are having to spend big bucks to announce
their kid's college decision. So college bound teens decide this
month or have decided early decision where they'll continue their education,

(46:24):
and parents are having to spend lots of hours and
thousands of dollars on bed parties for the announcements, which
in itself which sprike them over with a different name
for I didn't sound right. But the craze that was
popularized in the South apparently involves decorating a high school
senior's bed to the extreme with all of the school
themed colors, candy, balloons, and merchandise. Fans say that this

(46:47):
expensive ritual is a festive way to mark the milestone,
while critics view them as over the top displays of excess.
And you know, it's probably started with like a blanket
and a pillow and somebody posted that to social media,
maybe some balloons or something, and now it's probably gone
to like where there's a Rolls Royce in the bed
that's the color of the school. Because because this is

(47:09):
not about the kids.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
Oh no, it's not.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
This is one of those things and there are so
many of them that I've learned in parenting. This is
not about the kids. The kids benefit from this. This
is about parents not being outdone by other parents. That's
what this is about.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
Our social media.

Speaker 3 (47:23):
You got to show off to everybody, That's what it is,
because you can just literally hold up your letter.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Was that what we did.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
We would hold up our letter and smile and I
got a T.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
Shirt or a sweatshirt or something, and I worked to
school one day and they're like, oh, you're going to
ask them. We didn't think you'd get in there, just
barely right. The book storted by the sweatshirt. That's what
I got.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I did go to the bookstore too.

Speaker 3 (47:43):
When I got accepted to you, I see, I was like,
take me a Halsted, I want to go get a
T shirt.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
You're in a cab.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Yeah. Well, I mean, but that's what this is about,
and I've learned that's what a lot of parenting is about.
It's kind of sad. It is sad, but I've learned
the more than my friends have kids older, they get
that a lot of what they do, they love their kids,
they want the best of their kids. I'm not discrediting
their parents ing, but if it's not what they're doing,
it's how they're comparing themselves. How you're comparing yourselves to

(48:12):
what other parents are doing for their kids and how
they provide it. And it's such an unfair thing to
do because the parameters are never the same. You know.
It's like if you're a working mom and dad works,
and you know you're not able to pick your kid
up every day from school, and you're not able to
make these bento box lunches with your customed sushi rolls,
and you know, get up at four in the morning

(48:33):
and make teppanyaki for your kid, or you know, say
this crazy, crazy stuff that you see online.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
Yeah, you're not exaggerating, that's real.

Speaker 1 (48:40):
And then you know your friend is, but your friend
maybe doesn't have to work because or whatever. Maybe the
husband works or the wife works, someone makes a lot
of money, maybe someone has a lot of money, maybe
someone has a nanny. You know, so then you you
can do some of this stuff, and then other parents
can't do it, and then they start to feel, you know,
resentful and feel bad. It's like, this is crazy. Yeah,

(49:01):
you love your kid. Are you providing you know, nourishment
and love and and you know, shelter. Okay, fund me
a nice sweatshirt or something when I get into college,
because I'm gonna have to pay for that too. I'm
sure I don't.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
I just feel like it's all a big show for
just other people. And that's what I've learned in parenting.
It's like, even before I.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Had my baby, I would see certain things and I'm like,
did we really have to do this whole thing?

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Like for the first birthday party?

Speaker 3 (49:25):
I know, culturely, for some cultures that is like a
huge deal and I love it, But for me, I
was like, We're just going to do a pizza party
with an open bar.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
Which actually was I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
It was really quite the sacrifice you had, Frankie j
attend that.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
As opposed to your my wedding.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
I saved the twenty thousand and the several Southwest tickets
that we had to buy. Yes, I mean I couldn't
believe it. I watched into Danish Pizza and there was
Frankie j singing, you know, I don't want to try it. Yeah,
And I was like, this is crazy, right, Danny's Pizza. Yeah.
And and Gigi was drooling on herself and you know,
begging to go outside. So it was crazy. I was like,
can you appreciate this, that's the Frankie Jane.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Yeah, I did this for you, not for anybody, right
yougg and she knew exactly what was going on at
that moment at age one.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
And I love a party that appeals to I love
a kid's party that appeals to adults. Not that I
get invited in many of those, but when I do,
I love a parent who's considered here's the area for
the kids, and here's the area for the adults. You know,
we have food, we have nice drink. You know. I
liked the it was a one year old party that
you had, but it was pizza and beer and sports

(50:24):
and there was like stuff for the adults to do too.
I appreciated that.

Speaker 3 (50:28):
And then the little corner we had the balloons and
the tattoo people whatever, which a lot of adults got
glitter tattoos, so hey, it.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Was for everybody. I got a neck tattoo I saw
got it on. Yeah, no, but mine was permanent. I
didn't realize that.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I thought teardrop on.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Yeah, well I got that too. In this company, apparently
if you have a neck tattoo, you make a lot
more money. So I've decided to do that. Yeah. So yeah, no,
that's why I left it. Yeah, I thought I thought
it was going to wash off, But in fact I
didn't realize that they were permanent tattoos. That you were
having tons of children.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
Yeah, I've told you.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Yeah, but the tear drop, that was one. I really
if that would go away. But anyway, so I have
to explain that one to my to my friends. But yeah,
so that's the thing you're supposed to be doing for
your kids today. I'm sorry if you If you're not,
then you're just not You're not up to bar. It's
you have to what can you possibly do to a bed?
I mean, my.

Speaker 5 (51:16):
Parents were sad. They were in mourning because they were
helping me pay for it. So they're like, this is
gonna suck. You know, there's no bed party. It was
like you better figure it out, girl.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
My parents were static. They were like, really, get out, really,
Like when is the first day you can go? Like that?
Is there a summer semester? And there was, and they're like, great,
you should go to that.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
Oh wow.

Speaker 5 (51:35):
I did ask for an early movement. I was I
was the one ready to go. I was like, can
I come up early in some of these storms?

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Well, and it's a it's a famous story in my house.
But my parents were very generous to help me with college,
and that was always the thing growing up, was hey,
if you can get into Harvard, we'll help you with that.
Like if you can get into Harvard, which of course
I could not. I barely got into Skysdale Community College.
But that was the thing. So it came down and
you guys have probably heard the story, but it came
down to two schools in Dallas, in the Dallas area.

(52:02):
My mom went to SMU and the rival was TCU,
and those were that I got into both and those
were the school. So we flew to Dallas and we
went to TCU and we had the hottest tour guide
and I had the best time and I loved it there.
It was great. Then we went to SMU. It was fine,
it was fine, didn't have a hot tour guide, it
was whatever. I was really influenced by the tour guide.

(52:22):
I was they knew what they were doing. And so
we go to dinner. My mom is like, well, what's
it gonna be? And I said, Mom, I want to
go to Texas Christian TCU, the rival. And she's like, hmmm,
how you gonna pay for that? And she was not kidding. Oh,
I guess me. And that's where I went.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Good decision, I get it. My kids would knock one
to U of them. Well that really really don't care.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
What if they got a scholarship to the rival college
at doing it? What if they got a full ride
scholarship and they were going to pay HI nil money
to go to Ohio State. So my kids and athletes, yeah,
no and il money to go to Ohio the Ohio
State University.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Oh, they can go there, they just can't go to
you about.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
It's there are certain colleges that like, once you get
affiliated with them, stuff gets weird. Show good morning. Thanks
for having us on the radio, on the iHeart app
Live and anytime search for a fresh show on demand.
But this story came out this week, and so I'm curious.
And here's the headline. Eight five five five one three
five How worthless was I'm just going to assume your husband.

(53:27):
I'm not saying that your wife if you got you know,
if you're married to a woman and you had a kid,
that your wife wasn't worthless. But I would assume that
your wife. I would assume a woman in a delivery room,
where a woman would have a little more compassion than
some men, not all men, but maybe because you have
the same parts and so maybe you can understand a
little better, like what's happening or what you're going through
the emotions. I'm not sure, but I bring this up

(53:49):
because a study found that one in seven dads bring
a full ass video game console to the labor and
delivery room and set that thing up and play video
games while they're waiting for their their their wife or
girlfriend or whomever, baby mama to have a kid, and
so I just want to ask eight five, five, five,
nine one one oh three by because I'm always amazed
every time we do this. I'm amazed at the things

(54:11):
that people call up here and say that their husbands
tried to do. What was one of them, like they
were about to go to the operating room. We heard
once for a C section. It was like, hey, can
we hold this up for a second. I got a
pizza downstairs. It's like, no, no, we're going to do
an emergency C section now and you can order another
pizza later. I guess, But what would you have done
as the resident baby having woman in the room, Paulina

(54:33):
child Hobby was pretty good, right, he was great, But
we were worried about him, even though he's a first responder,
Like when you were worried about him, like the man
is a firefighter, EMT, former cop is not He's going
to be fine, like this is what he obviously is
desensitized from this kind of thing. He'll be fine. Now,
granted it wasn't. It's not his wife going through it typically,

(54:54):
So I would imagine that it adds another layer to
it watching you go through it as opposed to his stranger.
But he was fine.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
He was completely fine. I also had like a pretty
like easy labor.

Speaker 3 (55:05):
So if the circumstances were different, maybe I would have
saw like a different side of him in that regard,
like not him bringing out his game boy or whatever
like that that I would have never tolerated, Like I'm
being so for ill.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
But he was really go to the end the situation.

Speaker 3 (55:16):
I think he freaked out more at the my epidural
experience than the birth part. Like that was when I
kind of saw a different side of them because they
had me in there for almost an hour because it
was it wasn't going great, you know.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
We had to do it twice?

Speaker 1 (55:27):
Oh yeah, it was. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
And I have literally I have a crooked ass because
my my my back of my spine is a little crooked,
like by my by my cheeks.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Like right here by my butt.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
You have a crooked ass because of it.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Either I was bron I was born with a crooked ass.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
Got that fix? No, made it bigger? Yeah? Because because right,
And that's that's We've discussed this on the air a
lot of times. I have a b you have ab couldn't.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Spine? No, my doctor is not that good. No doctor
Miami maybe.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
But not mine. Maybe they could do that. No, no, yeah,
let it happen.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
But they Yeah, they had to go on there twice
with that thing because literally, yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
It was rough.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
So I was in that room for an hour. They
did not let anybody stay in the room, like, everyone
has to leave. It doesn't matter who you are, you
gotta go because things can take a turn with the
epidurl and it kind of did.

Speaker 2 (56:20):
It was it was rough.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
I guess this is super common. Like I have a
friend who's in ob GYN and she was like, you guys,
you men, you know, and she's a woman. She's like,
you know you you guys are So I just can't
believe it. I can't believe the study. You guys are
you know here I am worried about the mom and
then dad passes out. Yeah, and it's like, yeah, I
get it, Like it should never be about us in
that process. But the other thing you got to realize
is that this is not a process that we we're

(56:44):
not like we're witnessing this right there's you know, if
there's blood and then you're in pain, and then there's
it's a hospital. And we got doctors and God forbid,
something is complicated, and then I don't know, I don't
know I have I don't know how I would ever
be able to deal with that as a person who
can't deal with my own stuff. Like I'll pass that.
I go a little doctor, you know, in the flu

(57:04):
botomist lady, you know, who's like twenty two, and she's,
you know, five foot two, and I'm six foot five
and two hundred and forty pounds, and I'm like, if
I fall, I'll kill you, like you'll die under you
know what, and I'll bleed out. So I have to
sit and it's his whole thing, and they make fun
of me and they're like, bro, like you're a big dude.
I'm like, I don't I can't look at this. But

(57:26):
they asked us six hundred and fifteen parents. Of them,
fifteen percent of moms that their partner had brought their
video games to the hospital with them, the entire console
in the hospital go bag. According to doctors, it's nothing new.
One obgyn said that she's seen dads do this for
at least fifteen years. Basically, as long as consoles started
being compact enough to bring them, I would be so annoyed.

(57:49):
I would be so annoyed.

Speaker 3 (57:51):
No, you would not come home, would be me and
the baby arriving home. Like you'd stay in the hospital
because I'd be so upset. This is why I don't
like gamers to begin with.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
That's my own thing. I'm sorry. I know that the
hate me, and that's fine. Can come for me. But like,
why are we doing this at the hospital on this
day at this time.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
I'm not going to read. This is a very graphic text,
but essentially there was something very graphic happening during childbirth,
and apparently her husband said, stop complaining. It can't be
that bad. Oh my god, Oh you you get to complain. Yes,
you get to complain, Like, no problem with that at all.
And backhandam who said Zanita listener number one, Danita my
ex husband. This is a text told the nurses that

(58:27):
I was bothering him too much. He was trying to sleep.
Oh he was trying to sleep. Oh what poor guy.
He was trying to get some rest, you know what
I mean, Like it's very hard to just sit there
and do nothing. Yeah, no, it is your wife or
girlfriend whomember does I was deployed and my wife was
in Chicago giving birth. She only pushed one time. Okay, well, dude,

(58:50):
for her, I mean that's I think a lot of
people are ride jealous about that. Oh yeah, let me
see here. My dad in the nineties brought his work
and spread it across my mom's stomach while she was
in labor. What what are you doing? Oh my god?
I'm a nurse, and I can tell you that young
men are the absolute biggest babies about needles and pain

(59:11):
and really any discomfort. Meanwhile, little old ladies are the
toughest human beings I've ever seen. Jackie, you're this is
your father in law. Why was your father in law
in the room for this, Jackie? Well, he was in
the room because they, I guess in ninety seven, they
allowed the husbands to.

Speaker 7 (59:28):
Be in the room at all times.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
So he was watching the NBA playoffs because Michael Jordan
was more important than you know, the birth of his Okay,
so he wasn't there to watch your birth. He was
there because that was the part there. I'm like, what
the hell's he doing in there?

Speaker 4 (59:44):
Now?

Speaker 1 (59:44):
This is for his This is for your husband, their
boyfriend husband. Yeah, oh okay, well, I mean, look, the
playoffs are important. The bulls are pretty good back then,
so I mean, we've got to be paying attention to
this stuff now. I mean, what are they supposed to do?
Not play a video game, maybe not watch rowdy television,
but they're supposed to be helpful.

Speaker 4 (01:00:02):
I meant this little encouragement, I would imagine.

Speaker 7 (01:00:05):
But I asked him about it again on Sunday when
I foun him for Easter, and he said that he
he says by his decision and Michael Jordan was important.

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
Okay, well, I mean labors, it's like it can be long,
and these games aren't that long. So yeah, and and
it may never happen again. I'm not sure that have
they won it since then? I'm not sure. So there
you go. So he was justified. Thank you, Jackie, You're
welcome here. Somebody says, I don't think a game boy
at a certain point would be so bad. And then
once things, you know, ramp up, then you get to

(01:00:34):
put it away. I've seen both mom and husband playing
video games. Okay, well, mom can do what she wants.
Mom can do it. Mom wants to lead the way
on that, you know, play a little Mario Kart or
something because she's bored because it's taking a long time.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Okay, can, I was editing Kylen's video on the hospital,
but I had to ask you to stop.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
She did not illegal, She's list it away. We stopped working.
I'm just dilating. How about you?

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Yeah, you were working like Pelleen to stop, like stop,
don't have a baby, you know, work on that. Yeah,
let's do one thing at a time. More Fread show next,
you can learn Chinese in less than thirty minutes. Apparently
me out Fread Show is I will judge a person

(01:01:26):
on what you believe the rules to be and who knows,
like there are real rules, and we have to be
on the same page with what they are because otherwise
it's no fun to play the game. Lets you do it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
That means that's a real rule.

Speaker 1 (01:01:39):
Right right. But I think some people think that certain
things are like that you can stack if you're playing
one on one. I think people think that you can
stack a whole bunch of these like reverse plus two
and then just and then just like a barrage, just
boom boom boom, and then it doesn't work that way.
There are like certain cards that you like, if I

(01:02:00):
put it draw too down, then you draw too, and
then I think you go. But I think people think
that that's drawing is your turn. I don't know, if
the top of my head what these rules are. I
have to look at him again. But there are certain
rules that I think I always thought to be true,
and they're not. Karon's Entertainment report and he's on the pressure.

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
Yesterday, Justin Timberlake shared that he's been diagnosed with lime
disease in a post to a social media he started,
the Instagram commemorating his Forget Tomorrow World Tour What Tour
the world tour, which wrapped in Turkey on Wednesday. Justin
says he considered ending things, ending the tour rather when
he got diagnosed, but quote decided that the joy of

(01:02:38):
performing brings me far outweighs the feeding stress my body
was feeling.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
I'm so glad I kept going.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
Justin, of course, as you've seen, was criticized for seeming
to lack energy toward the end of the two year tour.
Lime disease is transmitted, if you didn't know, by a
type of ticks commonly known as the deer tick, and
it can cause flu, legs and dumbs. Neurological problems, joint

him for sure. Today, Anthony Hopkins, the actor, posted a
video on Instagram of himself wearing the new Skims seamless
sculpt face wrap that I told you about earlier, and
he did it in his iconic character Hannahballecter from the

(01:03:36):
Silence of the Lambs. So I will put you the audio,
but we are having some technical issues today.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
I don't know if you've heard, but in a playful.

Speaker 5 (01:03:44):
Tone, he says, hello, Kim, I'm already feeling ten years younger,
and then he does the character's iconic slurping sound. He
ended the video with, don't be afraid to come over
for dinner, another line from the movies. Gwyneth Paltrow was
in the comments, calling a genius and kim sister Chloe
was gassing her up, sharing it on her stories, writing
I am screaming, let's go at skims at Kim Kardashian.

this weekend The Naked Gun.

Speaker 5 (01:04:19):
That's the one with Liam Neeson who plays a cop
who solves a wacky murder case. The film co stars
Pamela Anderson, who he is reportedly dating, and I love
it and they look very cute together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:29):
Also in theater is The Bad Guys Too.

Speaker 5 (01:04:31):
It's actually an animated heist comedy about a group of
animal outlaws, featuring the voices of Sam Rockwell and other actors.

stars real life spouse's Dave Franco and Alison Brie. Those
were the ones who she was caught clipping his toenails
in public recently, I did it in the report And
they play a codependent, codependent couple who have to deal

(01:04:54):
with a mysterious force that causes horrific body changes. So
I think it's more of like a horror vibe, but
they are playing a couple in the movie as well.

So much, Learn so much? Guys. Did you know the
largest bill to go into circulation in the US was
a ten thousand dollars bill? Really, there was a ten
thousand dollars bill. You may have five, ten twenties, one hundreds.
You may not have any cash, which cash is almost worthless.
I mean, if you've got more than a twenty. Even

A lot of places won't even take it. But the
