Speaker 7 (03:55):
Ka?

Speaker 8 (03:56):
Big news of you are a Disney Adult, we know
another band that's going to go to the sphere And
then Jason asked me not to spoil number one for him,
So he's waiting for the report. But the greatest song
of the twenty first century so far.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I have a lot of issues with this list. Really,
I have a lot of issues with it.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
Oh I love the list.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Okay, I'm not cool enough for Rolling Stone? Did he
gets too cerebral for me?

Speaker 6 (04:20):
Okay?

Speaker 9 (04:21):
Now?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
And I also did? I want to know, like who
are these people? And how did they come up with
the songs?

Speaker 4 (04:26):
I think they asked their staff.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
That's what I mean, though, like how many did they ask?

Speaker 7 (04:30):
Like?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
Who are these people that self proclaim we're going to
tell you the best song? Who are these people?

Speaker 6 (04:34):
Wow?

Speaker 4 (04:34):
Okay, I guess we're gonna argue because I love the list?

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah no, I don't know. I mean, but who, like
who made the two hundred and fifty songs that we
chose from? Who decided that? And then who decided that?
Who made you king?

Speaker 7 (04:46):
You know?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Oh my goodness, what I want to know? So I
went through I went through this list one by one.
I'm honestly okay, fifty I did I actually did. But
here's what I'm going to tell you about number one.
I promise you when you hear what number one is,
you're gonna go that's a good song. But it wouldn't
have been on anyone's top ten list. Really, if I
asked each of you to tell me the ten best song,

(05:08):
what was it of the twenty first cent.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
So far of the twenty first century.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
So far of the twenty first century. If I asked
all of you to make a list, every list would
be completely different. I wouldn't be surprised if every list
had entirely different for forty different songs. You know, ten
of us forty different songs, and I can promise you
that number one wouldn't be what it was. And I
don't even think it'd be in your top ten because
you wouldn't have thought of it.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Really.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh my gosh, I can't wait. That's a tease. I'm
locked in.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
That is how we got nominated for the Best dom Award?
Is that what's called for the what is it? Illinois
Broadcasters Association. I don't like to brag, but we were nominated.
And what I don't know is if there were any
more than three submissions, So What I don't know is
if it's just you submitted, then you're nominated or you're
a finalist, I should say. But we are up there

(05:53):
with Bob Sarat, which is insane. Which is insane, the
Bob Sarah.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Watching him on the news morning.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
This man can do anything like he's an institution, and
we're right there next to him for best home.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Insane.

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Now made that list?

Speaker 6 (06:08):
Right?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
What is that? But that's what it's called? Is it?

Speaker 7 (06:12):

Speaker 10 (06:12):
Yes, yes, she's a silver dome, right, I thought it
was silver.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's a silver dome.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
I mean best home.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
That's we got the best dome period.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yea silver dome award is what it was called. Yeah, yeah,
I had to actually go to the website and see.
I guess I didn't think. No one told us that
we were so that's cool.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Check that website often.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, no, no, I saw it. I was another another friend.
Why don't know? I mean, I guess we're friends. We
don't agree on everything, but I got named Ramblin Ray.
You know, rambling Ray. Yeah, well we don't agree on you.
You might want to look into the you know, just
see how aligne you really are. But anyway, no, but
I like, no I like Ramblin Ray's a nice guy,

(06:54):
and he was nominated for Best Radio Personality, and so
I wait, hold on a second, or a final And
I was like, well, wait a minute. So I guess, hey, guys,
good morning. I guess they made some decisions then. So
then I had to google the website and then I
had to search pretty hard to find where the nomination
where the finalists were, and then I did and then
there we were. So it was a big surprise. Wow,

(07:15):
I don't even know when did they announce the final
You might even be there. Yeah, So the what I
heard this morning is that Jason has to produce the
awards show, so you might even just be there to
take the award. Yeah, I or give it to Bob Sarat.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh if I have to wrangle Bob Sarat, Like that's
pretty insane, insane.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Some sports guys were up there too with us.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Oh is that sports?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I didn't know they were sports. Of course you will.
You don't listen to any other sports source because you
are the sports.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Source, Like why would I have another source? But in
early November, I think we find out like, oh that's exciting.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, that's a big deal. So yeah, I think we've
won one before. I think it was about ten years ago.
That was, and I know no one remembers that, but
mainly because no one works here anymore from then. But
but this is fine. Were you here then? Were you
here in twenty sixteen? Yeah? And why does your your
microphone doesn't work anymore? Oh? Yes, I was Okay. I
guess Calen doesn't get to talk anymore. I don't. I

(08:07):
don't know what happened. I am, And you were back,
We're back?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yes, I was here.

Speaker 1 (08:12):

winning crew at that point then too, So that's cool.

Speaker 7 (08:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
As for what happened to the physical award, I don't know.
I'm sure it's been a trophy case somewhere being cherished.
All right, let's do headlines, biggest stories of the day
and Jason's picks. I have your music this week. We're
prepared ready. I know everyone is just on the edge
of their seats for your picks.

Eagles Giants game? Big game this weekend? Eagles? Yeah? An
Eagle or a Giant? Yeah, It's is huge it's a
big matchup this weekend. Everyone's excited about it.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I mean, I gotta go with Jason Kelsey, right the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (08:49):

was last night and they lost, so it was an upset.
And I don't know how every week I do this

of the woods of the River Riverwoods Brunch Factory. And
to the ten people who are here, good And the
children are here, Hi, children? How you doing? And these
kids are like, what am I doing here? I had
to get up early because my crazy mom wanted to come.
It's the Fred Show. Who We're live? Is a thank
you thirteen too or friends. The biggest stories of the day.

(09:40):
The Cubs won. The Cubs won, We got Cubs fans
in here. Yeah, we got two men somebody else. The
Cubs won. It was fo nothing when I went to
bed at night because the game started at eight o'clock
at night. That's too late for me. Wow, So I
I just prayed before I went to bed. I went
to therego we got Cubs. There's two I guess two

(10:00):
of us here this morning, and I'm wearing my twenty
sixteen World Series sweatshirt because I'm that guy who's decided
that we're going to win another World Series. Now I went.
I went from I didn't really I wasn't entirely sure
they were going to be in the playoffs, and I
didn't actually really even know. And then I went to
one game this year and now all of a sudden,
I'm the biggest fan again, and and I think they're
gonna win the World Series and we're going all the way.
I'm who I'm gonna see you cry again. I did cry. Yeah,

(10:25):
I did cry. I cried that evening. Yes I did,
in the back of a bar. In the back of
a bar, that was that was reminiscing about that night
not that long ago. We were at said deuces in
the Diamond near Wrigley Field. Is he gone, it's well,
it's something else? Is he called something else? I had
a pool, which is I don't, well, what would you
have gotten in the pool?

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Though?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I don't now I think it has hot tubs. That's
even more concerning, actually, I think. But yeah, that was
That was a crazy night. You were there, many of
us were there, and and and the game was in Cleveland,
but we decided we should still be in Wrigleyville. And
that game was going so well until it was going
so poorly. And the problem with it going so well
early on is that everybody had determined in the bar

(11:07):
that we were going to win the World Series, and
so everybody was hammered. And then the game started to
go the wrong way, and then people were angry and drunk,
which is never a good combination. And then there was
that rain delay, and then we won and it was glorious. Yeah,
and somewhere there's audio of me screaming, crying, trying to
do the final play play by play. I don't even

(11:27):
know what I said. I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
We were like live while like at the winning moment.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh yeah, no, yeah, no, I remember there was a
person that worked here at night and ill we called
up there and said, you stopped talking, it's us now,
pushed the button. This is our show now. I'm the
captain now. But the Cubs won last night, which means
they played Milwaukee tomorrow Game five, and if they win,
that would be three straight and then they eliminate the Brewers.
We're too close to Milwaukee for me to say anything

(11:54):
bad about the Brewers, though, I mean, I feel like
we're basically in Milwaukee right now. The signs said to
Milwaukee and not far. Mi's in Milwaukee's not far from
where you are. So but yes, they played tomorrow and
then if they win, they move on. They played the Dodgers.
If they move on, is that yeah? So that's that's
gonna beal tricky, But that's fine because if we're gonna

(12:15):
win the World Series, I decided guess every Yes. My
only other fellow Cubs fan is nodding. I have some
sad news that I have to get to Jason before
we get to your sports report. But Sister Jean, Loyola's legend.
Sister Jean has passed away at one hundred and six.
Isn't that sad? One hundred and six years old sister

(12:35):
Jean de Laurie Schmidt, loyal University of Chicago's longtime men's
basketball Chaplin, died at one hundred and six yesterday. She
became wildly beloved during Loyola's memorable twenty eighteen Final four run,
when her presidence pregame, prayers and encouragement made her a
national figure. And she'd served at Loyola in various roles
for sixty years and officially stepped down from her duties

(12:58):
in August because of health is use, though she remained
an advisor until her death. The president, Marxy Reid called
her an invaluable source of wisdom and grace whose spirit
abides in thousands of lives. You are a Loyola grad.
You're still paying for it?

Speaker 2 (13:14):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:14):
And how are your feelings about this?

Speaker 3 (13:16):
It's sad because she did make paying very high monthly
payments you know, worth it because I felt like it
was going to her care and made her last one
hundred and six years.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
So yeah, you know, money well spent on. What's my
money going to now?

Speaker 1 (13:28):
It turns out you don't have to pay anymore?

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Oh forgiveness?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Right? It turns out your student lungs have been forgiven,
so it's no problem. Yeah, correct, a true celebration of lives. Okay, Yeah,
Jason just is celebrating in a different kind of way
this morning, and so you can make all the complaints
to Jason Brow.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
I'm gonna go stay with my girl that got the
chocolate martini over there.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
Yes, can we comment on that? We're live uh in
Riverwoods in brunch factory and one who is my idol
literally prior to six twenty one in the morning, has
an espresso martini going. We're probably halfway through it already,
which is that these are my kind of people. Yes, yeah,
where are you?

Speaker 6 (14:13):
Can you?

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Can you rise for a random applause? Yes? Can for
the expression of martini. That is a level of medication
that I don't see very often. And I'm inspired by you, ma'am.
What is your name, Sonia? I'm inspired by you, Sonia.
So now, Jason, are you ready ready for some NFL picks?
Ladies and gentlemen, Our vice president of the Sports Report

so how would we deny him?

Speaker 5 (20:03):
I believe you?

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yeah, me too, thank you.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
And then also the forty nine ers bella didn't tell
me about Logan Thomas.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh right, hello, Yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
That man who he's gonna run one, like in.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
The end, in the end. He's gonna run one the end. Yeah,
he's gonna No, that's gonna be great when he runs
one in the end.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
I can't wait for that moment. Okay, all right, well
there you have it, so your trusted stories for all
sports betting. Again. This is like the third year we've
done this. Still not sponsored by any official gambling site.
I have no idea how not.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
Right, because they're waiting for me to make draft.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Ben MGM, Draft Gangs, draft queens. Where are you? You
know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Rivers? Where are you?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Riverwoods?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
In Riverwoods? Where's River's Casino? Where are they? Where's the sponsorship?
Where is our sales department?

Speaker 12 (20:57):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Are we not taking advantage of this tremendo asset? I
don't know. And you've been choosing more games correctly than not.
What were you nine and nine and six? Well not
nine and fourteen? Like there were fourteen total games? I think.

Speaker 8 (21:09):
So he was nine and were sixteen and he got fourteen, right,
I think, oh no, no.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
No, no, no, he got nine and he got six
wrong or something like that. Yeah. No, so he did
not get fourteen out of sixteen. If he did that,
then I retire.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
Well he had no picked one fourteen out of fourteen?

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Yeah, that would be something. All right, nice job, Jason.
By the way, live in Riverwoods this morning at the
I have to look the sign every time, even though
I've said it fifteen times already the brunch factory and
people are starting to trickle in, you know, not quite
the line around the corner like we've had previously. But
I'm not I'm not being critical you guys, are all
wonderful people. Right of applause for yourselves. We're coming so early,

(21:50):
it's so night. And he brought the children. I can
tell they really wanted to get up early for this,
didn't they They didn't want to get up early. No, no, Yeah,
they're fired up. Someone get him some pancakes or something.
I mean, that'll make it all better. And maybe mom
and dad should get an espresso martini because apparently that's
what we're doing this morning.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, the bar is open.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah. Yeah, well you don't have anything else to do today,
do you? No?

Speaker 6 (22:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
Whatever, who cares? That's fine. So it's World Mental Health Day,
which everyone around here needs to recognize practice. Yeah, well,
every day is World Mental Health Fay on The Fred Show.
But today is that day, and it raises awareness of
mental health issues around the globe. This year, the World
Health Organization's highlighting mental health issues created by crises like

(22:36):
natural disasters, war and public health, and the National Institute
of Mental Health is sharing five reminders to help us
take care of ourselves and others. We got real serious
here all of a sudden, But you know, this is
a show for all topic matter. We're going to talk
about Israel and Gaza on just a second's Yeah, then
Jason actually has full coverage on that too, the peace Agreement. Yeah,

(22:56):
but we all have mental health. It's not synonymous with
mental illness. We all have the potential to cultivate mental wellness.
No one is impenetrable to mental health struggles. Why would
you throwing stuff around?

Speaker 10 (23:09):
Now?

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Okay, yeah, La La Luke, first day on the job,
rule number one radio. We don't make a lot of
noise behind the scenes. But he's a Cup fan, so
that's okay. We're fine with La La Luke. It's all good.
No one is. I'd said that one already, but still
you don't need a diagnosis to get help. And mental
health is not just an individual issue. This is a
little frightening. A Ryanair flight from Italy to Scotland nearly

(23:32):
avoided disaster last week. After three attempts to land at
two different airports, the flight was forced to land at
a different airport back in England with only six minutes
of gas remaining. Six minutes of gas remaining, Well, how
would you feel You're the pilot and you know this
and you're like, it's the winds were blowing at one
hundred miles an hour in the area because of a

(23:54):
storm that was battering the area one hundred miles an
hour winds, widespread travel chaos. So you're the pilot, You're like, this,
this is happened. We're landing like one way or on
this one like one way or another. We are stopping
the airplane on the ground like maybe not the right direction,
maybe we're facing the other way. I don't really know,
but we don't have enough gas to do anything else.

(24:14):
So this is like real life, serious top gun stuff. Yeah,
well does that mean it's scared.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
You might be scared already just thinking about it. Yes,
arms are heavy.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's crazy. That's the kind of thing
where like I hope the pilot didn't get on and
explain that. I've noticed lately, I don't want to know.
I don't know if this is like an airline thing though,
but I've noticed the pilots are getting really detailed in
they're descriptions of like why we're delayed, and sometimes it
you know, even as a pilot like I'm good, like
I'm okay, Like yeah, just go ahead. Are we good

(24:44):
or are we not good? Like are we going to
be good? In an hour or maybe two, but like
you don't need to get on like Kanda was on
a flight. Uh it was it last year when they
got onto the GPS didn't work, you know, that's not
that's not like we did. And then all of a
sudden the GPS did work. And then it's well, then
let's you go ahead and head out now to Brazil.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
Three hours, I said on the tarmak. Then I flew
to Brazil.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Right, do that mass right?

Speaker 5 (25:08):
I go south?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
But like I could find like I can find South
ways from here, Like maybe I could find like I
don't know, New York, I could find it, you know,
like we just point that. I'll see Brazil is a
ways away. Like if we're a little off, we're gonna
wind up somewhere completely different.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
I have ways, like literally let me up there. Yeah,
I will direct, like just head in that direction.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
No, I figured it would have been fine. Yeah, yeah,
great coverage in the sky with your phone too.

Speaker 8 (25:31):
Listen if you map before shout out ways, if you
lose service, it'll still tell you.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, well there's like wind drifted it. But whatever it
is fine. They would be any issue. A Tennessee mother.
Her name is Shelby. She gave birth the a C
section to a massive baby weigh thirteen pounds. Whoa twelve pounds?
Well that is that is mass twelve pounds fourteen ounces.
Isn't that like twice the size baby? Yes, the average baby.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Yeah, yeah, it's that's pretty big. I've heard of a
twenty pounder before.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 11 (26:03):
Ye.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
His birth was the largest in over three years at
Nashville's TriStar Centennial Women's Hospital. He was born on the
same day as his mother, and she says that it's
her greatest gift. The story went viral on TikTok, of course,
of all places. How about a criminal mastermind story in
Biggest Stories of the day of Florida. Man his name
is Justin. He's facing federal charges after allegedly stealing seven

(26:24):
thousand dollars worth of scratch off lottery tickets from a
circle k and then scratching them and redeeming them at
the same store where he stole them.

Speaker 11 (26:31):
That was down.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, he broke into the cabinets and he removed the
scratch off books, and then he went and scratched them,
and I guess he won one hundred and twenty dollars
ishu or something, and then he went back and decided
that he would try and get his money and a
pack of cigarettes that I guess they wouldn't allow that,
And then he was arrested and he's been convicted by
a grand jury under the Hobsact for interparent interference with

(26:55):
commerce or threat of violence. He has a prior criminal record,
which shocks me. That includes felony drug and firearm convictions.
But you know, just just I guess no to self.
If you steal from someone, don't try and return it
to him right in any form. And then there's this,
and this is I'm gonna have to be careful because
we you know, I like how I'm worried about the

(27:16):
two children in the restaurant. But then there's like, whoever's listening,
I don't know who, but a woman named Jeneida is
wanted by the Toledo, Ohio Police. She's accused of kicking
in the front door of her boyfriend's home, entering and
then cutting another part of his body that starts with
an S and rhymes with rohdem with a sharp object.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Wait, wait, we have to hear the full story before
we just.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
What did he do?

Speaker 6 (27:45):
See? Then?

Speaker 1 (27:46):
How did I know that that's the injury was a
severe one. The other as parts of that area were
then fully exposed and then he had to go to
the hospital. She's being charged with felonious assault and serious
bodily harm and aggravated burglary. Authorities were actively searching for her.
They haven't found her yet, but I don't know what

(28:06):
he did to deserve that. You gotta think there's something.
This is more to the story. People don't just go
over and do that. Yeah, exactly. But good luck to
Janina finding another man, because you know, this is why
we google people when we meet them randomly, because we
got to know if there was any sort of issues
with knives and other regions before we move forward. It's

(28:27):
National Walk to a Park Day and National Cake Decorating Day.
Today we're live in Riverwoods. We're at the Brunch Factory
and we're gonna be here until about nine o'clock this
morning doing the show live. It's the second stop on
a Thank You thirteen tour. Everyone's just so quiet and
focused and eating. If some food smells good in here,
if everyone's eating breakfast, it's very early. We want to
thank you all for coming. People see you. I don't

(28:47):
know if they're mesmerized or bored.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
We're tired.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
I see some glassy looks on people's faces, in their eyes.
I really don't know. They're thinking, why do we get
up early for this? I'm not sure if it was
worth it? But the food is worth it else, isn't
that right? And the martinis and they have martini HSIs yeah.
I thought the lady who got the Jim Martini to
follow up the expressive martini, I thought that was aggressive.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
That's my kind of girl.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I thought it was aggressive, but it looked a little dirty,
which is my flavor. So you know, that's all good.
We'll come back next. We'll do the entertainer report blogs
after that. Waiting on the Phone is new this morning,
and we're live in Riverwoods at the Brunch Factory. It's
Fred Show. Aaron's entertainer report is on the Fresh Show.
All right, Oh here, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (29:30):
Hi.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
I'm Kailin and I like the Lions, and I'm gonna
do the entertainer report right now.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
That's true. You are me, Okay, I'm gonna grab this
from Kiki.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
Okay, thanks are going great?

Speaker 6 (29:40):
You know what.

Speaker 8 (29:40):
That's showbiz, baby, Okay, let's do this. We're about to argue.
We got to talk about this list that Rolling Stone
released of the two hundred and fifty best songs of
the twenty first century so far. I love when they
were not done with things and we just we do
this list, and for some reason they wanted to fight today. Fred,
you asked how they came up with all of this.
Of course it was their staff. You know, all love music,

(30:01):
but they write. We had plenty of arguments while putting
this list together, and we enjoyed every minute. It's a
list of songs, not artists, so we mostly avoided repeating
multiple songs by the same performer. But there are some
people like Lord, who is on the list for multiple songs.
She has ribs and green light, and they say that
everyone would compile a different list, and that is the

(30:22):
point of their list.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
So I guess they want to start a conversation.

Speaker 8 (30:25):
I will give you guys the top fifteen and we
can we can see how we feel. And Fred is right,
you will be shocked by number one. And Jason's been
waiting all morning, yes, actually since yesterday. You could have
found the info on the internet. But I'm going to
tell you right now, Thank you for waiting.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
So number he's a rule follower, and so we said
you must be surprised, so he didn't go.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Look, I'm ready to be surprised.

Speaker 8 (30:46):
Okay, ready, So number fifteen Bob outcast. We got Gasolina
by Daddy Yankee. At fourteen okay, okay, we have Lala
Luke nodding, he likes that. Thirteen is Sizza with snooze. Okay, okay.
Coming at number twelve, we have Last Night by The Strokes,

(31:06):
which I agree, that's a great song. Safayetta by Bad Bunny,
our halftime performer, thinking about You, Frank Ocean, I agree,
Toxic Britney Spears. At number nine, we have Kiki and I.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
We're trying to figure out how to say it. Idiot
Idiot Q by Radiohead. I don't.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
This is where it starts to get a little cool
for me.

Speaker 11 (31:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
Number eight is a little cool, all right, Kendrick Lamar
number seven, Number six Dancing on my Own by Robin Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
That is correct.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
That is correct.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Also correct at number five, All Too Well by Taylor Swift.

Speaker 5 (31:39):
Yeah okay.

Speaker 8 (31:41):
The White Stripes Coming in at number four with seven
Nation Army, we have jay Z and Beyonce Crazy in
Love at number.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Three, maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Speaker 8 (31:49):
At number two, and number one is Get Your Freak
On by Missy Elliott.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (31:56):
You never would have picked that.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
You never would have picked it number pause for that, I.

Speaker 4 (32:01):
Mean, listen, I never would have picked it.

Speaker 8 (32:03):
I never would have thought that number one would be hard,
even for my own music like taste, I'm not gonna pick.
I love so many songs, so that would be difficult.
So probably they argued with each other and got tuckered out,
and we're like, okay, let's agree to disagree, but I
will say, when you Get your freak On comes on,
there's not a single person that's not vibing.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, it's a banger, so sure it's just random.

Speaker 4 (32:23):
It is very random.

Speaker 1 (32:24):
That's what I thought too. That's why I'm like, Okay, well,
where do we come up with the songs that we
were organizing? And you know, it's rolling Stones, so somebody's
got to be cool than everybody else and come up
with you know, some deep cut. You've never heard of
it anyway, So I prefer the lists that have like
some metrics behind them. Okay, say number downloads. I mean,
just like a wider basi of of song.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
It seems just kind of like opinion.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Right, That's what I mean. That's what I mean. Everybody
they said it. I said it, like everybody would have
a totally different I don't even know if people would
pick the same two hundred and fifty songs, right.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah, but remember it's just for the twenty first century.

Speaker 8 (33:00):
So because I saw some people getting upset, you know,
where's this person, Where's Whitney, where's it?

Speaker 6 (33:04):
You know?

Speaker 4 (33:04):
So just remember that.

Speaker 8 (33:06):
In other music news, No Doubt is set to headline
a six show residency at the Sphere in Vegas from
May to.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
June of next year. And this is pretty cool.

Speaker 8 (33:13):
This would make one ste Funny the first woman to
headline this Sphere since it's opening. The band has only
performed together twice I think in recent years, once at
Coachella last year and a benefit concert remember that for
the fires in La earlier this year. I also saw
that Dua Lipa brought out Gwen recently at one of
her shows.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
That was a cute little video. Has anyone seen Tangled
the Disney movie?

Speaker 6 (33:35):
In here?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Anyone?

Speaker 5 (33:36):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
We have Okay, someone nodding.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
One person seen Tangled.

Speaker 8 (33:39):
Well, I absolutely love it, and Disney is reviving their
live action remake of the movie. If you haven't seen it,
it's a pretty slept on Disney movie. I only have
seen it because I took my sister back in twenty
ten when it came out. Scarlett Johanson is in talks
to play the villain, so that that will probably be
very good.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
It's a good Disney movie that I don't think a
lot of people talk about.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
Kylie Jenner is making her at acting debut in Charlie
XCX's newest film called The Moment. The Brat singer announced
her newest project with a very flashy video. She gave
me a seizure on Instagram, So I really like that
was I hope that there was a.

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Warning, but you know, she announced it.

Speaker 8 (34:18):
She has other actors like Alexander Scarsguard.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Honestly, so many people in there.

Speaker 8 (34:25):
Yeah, no other people on this list that I uh recognized,
but yes, a lot of names Kylie Jenner, And of
course Kylie's dating Timothy Shalla May so maybe she kind
of wants to get.

Speaker 4 (34:36):
Into the acting world.

Speaker 8 (34:37):
I guess him and his little skinny swag self. By
the way, if you missed any part of our show,
you want to catch up from today or any day
to hype the Fred Show on the Man, if you
could set us as a preset on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
So it's Riverwoods this morning, stop two in a Thank
You thirteen tour. I'm told that we're near because you know,
we drive here in the dark, so I don't really
know what we're near. I don't really know where we are.
In fact, I got a little scared and a halfway
here that maybe I put the wrong weekend, you know,
so I like I had to look again while I
was striving just to make because you know me, I'll
show up at the you know whatever the four stop

(35:08):
is when it's the second stop, because I wasn't paying attention.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Yeah, I actually.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
Had a dream that I went to the wrong week
and like set everything up and then you guys were
at the right one.

Speaker 11 (35:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
That literally I had a dream.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yeah what what? Oh, Calen doesn't get to talk, Okay.

Speaker 8 (35:26):
I was just gonna say your email confused me because
you sent an email yesterday for the next stop.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
But I'm gonna stop talking.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Jimmy she's being Jimmy Kimmel because because of the list.
It was the list of the Rolling Stone list. We
just don't agree with it, and so we shut her
mic off. It's like, forget about it. Yeah, yeah, out
of the car. We have mics in the car, I hope. So, okay, okay, good, Well,
we're at the brush Factory. We're gonna bet here Inutil
about ne o'clock this morning doing the show live stop

(35:54):
number two, and then next week it's Aperville, and then
we take a week off and it's West Town, which
is slightly closer, but it doesn't really matter because once
I'm driving, I'll just drive, you know, just just drive.
It's fine. Everyone having a good time so far. Everyone's
got him eating. Yeah, we'll go out. That really sounds well,
like just clapping. Everyone's so civilized. Yeah, I want to know.

(36:17):
The martinis are flowing this morning, and this is zero
judgment for me. What is the one that looks like
a Red Bull vodka martini? Is that? What that is?

Speaker 2 (36:26):
Apple pie?

Speaker 1 (36:26):
It's an apple pie martini.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Hearing that that makes it right.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
I have a headache and it's either going to make
it go away or make it better if I drink
an apple. It looks like a Red Bull vodka in
a martini glass, which I would also probably go for
at this rate. So all right, let's come back. We'll
do blogs in just a second. We're gonna be here
all morning. Sold Tam McCray tickets, you can win. You
can get breakfast this morning as well. And uh, and

(36:52):
come see us brunch Factory. If you live anywhere near here,
then I expect you to come by because I don't
want to hear about it next week when you're like, oh,
you're so far away from my house. I live in Riverwoods,
and I would be like, well, that's funny, cause we
were just just just there, Oh, just there. They tell
the mat Yeah, they talk better than they.

Speaker 6 (37:12):
These are the.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Radio blocks on the Fred Show. We're live. It's the
second stop on the Thank You thirteen tour Riverwoods at
the Brunch Factory. Jason Kay, yeah, yeah, Kay. Win's here
with a properly working microphone. Hello maybe wow, maybe not,
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (37:28):
Hello.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
But Jason is the engineer today, he's the marketing director.
He's uh, he's booking restaurants for people. He is, he
can do everything. He's mixing drinks. Behind the scenes, and
he'll make you an omelet if you want one.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
Right, I'm mean you and Martini if you from here, Yeah,
behind the bar our actual engineer is in Peru really
for again.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
So engineering might pay better. I might go that.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
Right.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Wow, I'm sure you couldn't make it this morning because
you're in Peru. Not too peach you or whatever? Wow, okay,
well that I mean, Riverwoods is beautiful this time of year.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
Better be in Riverwoods any day.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Yeah. Sure, there's something we can go worship to or
you know whatever. I worshiped the brunch Factory. Well, I've
been known to. I like how they act like I
don't come here every day after work. They're like, oh,
we've never seen this guy before. But I'm here every
day slamming those apple pie martinis. That's the kind of
day that I have most days at the you know,
radio ranch. So I come here and I just pound them.

(38:20):
Usually they're called friend's apple pie Martinis. Today, for some reason,
they're not on special like writing in our diaries, except
we say them aloud. We call them blogs.

Speaker 10 (38:28):
Kiki, Yeah, go dear blog. I just really wanted to
tell y'all two things. You know, I always have two
thoughts unrelated related.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
You start to say, like, Paulina.

Speaker 5 (38:37):
Now shout out to my girl. She's holding us now.

Speaker 10 (38:40):
So first things first, I am going on a shrip
soon and I'm a little nervous.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
I'm going to Greece.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Okay, so engineer in Peru, we got Kiki going to Greece. Yes,
the rest of us are just just here, just working away,
and I'm sorry, guys, like, what are you going to Greece?
At that point, it's so yeah, I'll see when I
see it.

Speaker 10 (39:02):
Well, hey man, my friend won a free trip and
he decided.

Speaker 1 (39:05):
To take me with him, and or did you decide that?

Speaker 5 (39:08):
What kind of you know?

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Like it was fun.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
He won in a work meeting. We were all there
shout out to Ryan and I looked at him and
was like.

Speaker 10 (39:15):
Yeah, we're going. So we're going and we're going soon.
And I know Kaitlin has gone before. I've never been.
It hasn't been on my bucket list to go. But
for some reason, I feel like as I get prepared
for this trip, everything needs to be flowy, Like all
of my outfits need to be wild and like for
like floral designs, we're.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
Like flowing you're not going to Hawaii?

Speaker 10 (39:37):
Well, I said, Hawaii will never see me again after That'sunami.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
They tried to get mewhere.

Speaker 5 (39:43):
No, so I won't be going there. But like, don't
you feel like when you go to what are you
supposed to do when you in Greece? Is really what
I need to know.

Speaker 8 (39:50):
American women do feel like if we're going to Greece,
we need to wear like white or blue, long flowy dresses,
like linen pants.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
It's a whole vibe.

Speaker 8 (39:59):
I mean, you can wear whatever you want. Your weather's
going to be beautiful. I just need you to relax,
like put everything down.

Speaker 10 (40:05):
That's what I'm focused on for you, right you know
I gotta document this.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Every single every flowy dress, every every everything consumed everything. Yes,
that's who that is right there.

Speaker 5 (40:20):
So it's it wasn't a lifetime trip.

Speaker 10 (40:22):
I didn't have to pay a dime, So like I'm
really trying to put my outfits together.

Speaker 5 (40:25):
That's where my money is going.

Speaker 10 (40:27):
And I just feel like I need to be flowy.
Is this the right hair? Need to switch in which break?

Speaker 5 (40:32):
That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
That's perfect for grease.

Speaker 8 (40:35):
Okay, first of all, second of all our girl, Janie,
is when I went told me, you have to go
to this mountaintop. They have a service that takes a
photoshoot of you on this mountain with the wind flowing
in your dress. I said, girl, I love you so much.
I will be eating and drinking and laying. I'm not
going to do that. I don't feel like doing a
photo shoot on the top of the mountain, but I
guess they have services that do that because all the

(40:56):
Americans like need that photo you know from Green.

Speaker 10 (41:00):
Now, how we get to the top of the mountains
climbing a thing?

Speaker 5 (41:04):
You know, I don't want to walk.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
You wanna be all sweaty and nesty you put this
dress on top of the pictures?

Speaker 4 (41:08):
Are you doing? You're doing it all inclusive, right of course?

Speaker 10 (41:11):
Okay, yeah, so I plan to do lots of eating,
lots of drinking as you should.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Okay, So then Kiki, you know that, like because he
won the trip and and it's all inclusive, so it's
all being provided by him. The ubers and things like
you have to pay for that. You know that they
charged for ubers over there. Yeah, like you know you
know that because everything's free that whatever is not free.
You have to pay for you know that that's proper etiquete.
Would you all agree if you get a free trip

(41:36):
whatever's not free, then the person not that agree with anything.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
I see this sound like I set up because what
if we get over there? He's taking me for that reason?
Like you know he's gonna want to do all these things.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
He's taking you because you told him he's taking you.
That's why you say, but no, you don't. I just
wanted to tell you this, Like he won the trip,
he doesn't have to pay for anything, which means you
don't have to pay for anything, which means that once
he's over there, if there's a fee of any like
for anything, you got to pay for that because you
just got ten thousand dolls whatever it is, trip to
Greece for free free.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
I'm blending a wedding. Maybe you need to come with us?
What're going next to the wait?

Speaker 8 (42:14):
Also just going to the Greek island of roads. They
don't have ubers. You will be either getting some nice
person to drive you, probably from the inclusive or you'll
be on an ATV or a buggy.

Speaker 5 (42:24):
I'm I'm gonna be at the resort. Yeah, I don't
look like we're going nowhere.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
Yeah, there's a hose on that on that island.

Speaker 5 (42:30):
I don't know about ATV and a yeah.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
I see you on the back of an ATV, I
really do. And your flowy dress with flowers on it. Yeah,
ask her where you're lay is. Do you think you're
going to Hawaii? I want to see all of that.

Speaker 10 (42:43):
Yeah, it's gonna be a high mess. But you know
it'll be all of our socials, so get ready.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Sure it will. I'm sure it will. Riverwoods will live
this morning at the Brunch Factory. I still about nine
o'clock will be here. We got still that Tam mc
cray tickets. We got lots of people enjoying their breakfast.
We got I mean so good, it does smell good,
and you know, the alcohol is already flowing. And the
zero judgment from me. I think it's weird to dud
just came in like in a surgeon's outfit, slammed Martini
and left. I thought that was I mean, I don't

(43:10):
know what he's got to do later.

Speaker 10 (43:11):
But I guess standing on a couch shut out.

Speaker 1 (43:13):

Speaker 1 (43:38):
So we got wildcats.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:40):
Is that the River Woods? The high school or Middle
Liberty Libertyville. Okay, okay, all right, we're near there. Yes, No,
but I gotta look at a map. I just haven't.
I haven't looked at a map yet this morning. I mean,
you know, I just I just point the car in
the direction it tells me to, and and I just
I just let Jesus take the wheel. At five o'clock
in the morning, brush Factor, we're gonna be here till

(44:01):
nine River Woods come see us. Waiting by the phone
is new and next on the Fred Show. More Fred Show,
next right here. This is the Fred Show. It's the
Fred Show one o three five Kiss FM, Chicago's number
one hit music station. I love it when Amy wither
Right from one one hundred trucks Record stops by, because
that means for someone who's getting hooked up with some money.

(44:22):
Good morning, Amy wither Right.

Speaker 11 (44:24):
Yes, yes, yes, we are taking care of people's rent
or mortgage and this cost is so much of people's budget.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Fred. I know some people that.

Speaker 11 (44:34):
Have to spend half their check just to pay.

Speaker 12 (44:37):
Their mortgage or their rent.

Speaker 11 (44:39):
And shoot, you know you got another big check onto
your car payment. It's very expensive to live, and we
got to help some people out right, No.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
It is. It is very expensive to live. Let's talk
to Chelsea. Good morning, Chelsea, how are you?

Speaker 6 (44:51):
Good morning?

Speaker 1 (44:51):
And then, Chelsea, my friend Amy wither Right is here
and that means good things for you to say hi
to Amy.

Speaker 11 (44:57):
Hey, Amy, Hey, Chelsea, it sounds like you are busting
your butt as a single mother of four incredible girls.
So we are super excited to talk to you today
and see if we can give you a little hand.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Yeah, well, let me read the note. You mind if
I read to everybody? What's going on with you?

Speaker 6 (45:12):
Now?

Speaker 1 (45:12):
That's fun? Okay? From Chelsea, it says, hello, guys, I'm
nominating myself for a free month of rent because I'm
a single mother of four beautiful girls. I work full
time but have to constantly work overtime to make sure
that everything is paid for. I see my job more
than I see my kids are my home. I think
a lot of people can relate to that. Unfortunately, I
love my joby and what I do as a QMACNA,

(45:36):
but I really do love my kids more. And having
to constantly be away from them more that I want to,
honestly breaks my heart. I want to be home enjoying
life with them. Because I have to pay rent, sewer, water,
car payment, car insurance, live insurance, my daughter's braces, those
are expensive gas to get back and forth to work,
lots of bills. There are times when I have to

(45:57):
make that judgment call, Okay, what can I get away
without paying this month? I'm also relatable. If you guys
choose me for rent free for one month, I'll forever
be grateful because that means I'll be able to be
home a little more with my children, and we'll give
a little financial break. It would also be like the
world has lifted off my shoulders. I'll be forever grateful

(46:18):
for this opportunity if I was chosen. Thank you and
love you guys. Love listening to my way to work. Well,
you know what, Chelsea, you have been chosen, Amy, what
should we do? So?

Speaker 11 (46:26):
Tell me what your rent is?

Speaker 12 (46:28):
Sixteen fifty.

Speaker 13 (46:29):
It's then, like I said, a little bit of struggle
from month to months, like going from paycheck to paycheck,
just trying to make sure everything is covered and constantly
having to work over time just to make sure everything
is covered.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yeah, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 7 (46:45):
So what if we did this instead of just doing
twenty five hundred dollars which covers a month and then
some why don't we just do two full months? Let's
just do two full months of rent? What is that
Fred taking fifty times too? Is that thirty thirty?

Speaker 1 (47:01):
I know what?

Speaker 6 (47:02):
I like?

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Thirty five? I like thirty five? Can we just round up?

Speaker 11 (47:05):
I think that'd be easier in both of us because
I'm a lawyer and you know.

Speaker 7 (47:09):
You're on the radio to do much mass.

Speaker 11 (47:12):
So thirty five hundred dollars let's.

Speaker 12 (47:14):
Help out your family, Chelsea?

Speaker 7 (47:15):
What do you think that'd be great?

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Thank you so much? There you go, Chelsea, Well, thank
you so much for writing to us, and I hope
this helps out a little bit. And uh, and we'll
make sure we have all your info and get you
your check and say hi to everybody at home and
enjoy a little little respite. Okay, thank you so much.

Speaker 5 (47:32):
Well go up in the city.

Speaker 4 (47:35):
But somebody else I was your girlfriend. I don't know why.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
They found that about us.

Speaker 10 (47:41):
Why think they were just confused because I'm on friend
show TikTok, so all you see is your face moving.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
When I talk.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Now, did we have to be in the bathtub or
could we maybe have not? Fred's show is on. We're

know everything. How did you guys meet? Tell us about
any dates that you've been on, and then where things

Speaker 14 (50:33):
Well, I mean it was just a one date situation.
We met on Riyah.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Oh you fancy?

Speaker 12 (50:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Oh you on the Famous People one. That's the fame

won't let me on that one? Then, yeah, they won't
let me fancy?

Speaker 4 (50:49):
I mean, I am fancy.

Speaker 14 (50:50):
I never thought i'd be calling a radio station to
talk about my business, but here I am so fancy.
Doesn't always work out.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
I's on the Ryah waiting list for like since Rya
was invented. But anyway, so nonetheless, you just in a
good word for you. I yeah, Well, then maybe I
would ghost you. No, I would never, I would never,
I would never ghost you. Well, I actually I haven't heard.

Speaker 14 (51:08):
You to help me with this goes first, I can't
figure it off. You figure out, and I feel like, well,
I don't know, but if this doesn't work out, I
might be swearing off men because I thought this could
be something, and clearly I don't know what I'm doing.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
So okay, So you felt like the date went really well.
You Teather, was chemistry, you know, all the normal stuff,
and so you left the date thinking, I'm gonna see
this guy again. He's gonna call me, We're going out.
This is good.

Speaker 14 (51:34):
Yeah, we have like we hit it off good like
on the app, and then in person conversation flowed.

Speaker 11 (51:41):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (51:42):
Yeah, it's a mystery. Well for at least two or
three more minutes, it's a mystery. But let's well play
a song. We'll come back. We're gonna call Seth. You'll
be on the phone. We're gonna ask these questions for you.
At some point you're welcome to jump in. And the
hope is that we can set you guys up on
another date that we pay for and for the people
who ask. We have done it a few times, did
it recently, maybe maybe ten times in the history of

(52:02):
the show. But it has happened, so could happen next?
All right, hang on, hey, Olivia, welcome back. Let's call
this guy Seth. You met on the dating app Riah
and you went out you felt like the date went
really well, the good conversation, good chemistry, everybody behaved themselves,
and yet you haven't heard from Seth since then, and

(52:24):
you're wondering why I want to get to the bottom
of it. Well, guess what. We are here to help
and we want to get to the bottom of it
too and see if you did something weird. Good luck?

Speaker 6 (52:35):
All right?

Speaker 1 (52:36):
All right? Thanks? Hello?

Speaker 8 (52:44):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Is is Seth?

Speaker 12 (52:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (52:46):
This is Seth? Hey Seth, good morning. My name is
Fred and I'm going 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 a couple of minutes? The whole crew is here.
You can hang up any I'm.

Speaker 12 (53:04):
What are we do?

Speaker 1 (53:05):
What are we chatting about?

Speaker 12 (53:07):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (53:07):
Now, I'm going to get to that. We're calling on
behalf of a woman named Livia. I guess you guys
met on a dating app Riah and you you went
on a date recently. Do you remember her?

Speaker 12 (53:17):
I knew?

Speaker 1 (53:17):
Yeah, okay, so what happened? Because you know, she reached
out to us and told us about meeting you and
about the date and she felt like everything went really well.
But then she says, she hasn't heard from you since then,
so why, what what's the issue?

Speaker 12 (53:32):
Okay, well, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, you got the basic information.
How we met. Yeah, we were talking. I mean that,
you know, the chatting on the app was really good
and that's why, you know, obviously it' took a further
to meeting person and go on a date. We She

(53:52):
she also like, you know, lives in the same city,
which on Riah isn't always the case. So I was listening,
I was excit, okay, and she had mentioned.

Speaker 15 (54:01):
That she was this big footy right, so I did
a lot of research, made a reservation at a very
nice restaurant that she had ever been to, and she made.

Speaker 12 (54:11):
Out like she was excited. So we meet up at
this restaurant and it's it's going well. But when the
waiter comes, this is when things get weird, because I
mean it's normal stuff. You know, they're acting for drink
orders and so I mean, I'm trying to do, you know,
the gentlemanly saying, and I let her order first, right,

(54:32):
and she's like.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
No, I'm good. I'm like okay, okay, she didn't want
to drink at all.

Speaker 12 (54:39):
No, she didn't want no just I would you know
he had water on the table, but no, no drink,
and you know, I mean I was I was confused
at the drink. The drink wasn't you know? That wasn't
that off putting? And I felt bad because I was like, well,
you know, if you don't an alcohol or something like that,
you can get anything else, or like if we need

(54:59):
to go somewhere else, you know, if this make you
make you uncomfortable, I don't know if she was like
sobers them like that. She's like, no, no, it's it's okay,
I don't want anything. Okay, fine, you know. And then
the waiter comes back and it's like, uh, you know,
asking for if we want to start with appetizers, So like, okay, sure,
what would you like for an appetizer? And and she's like, well,
whatever you want to get? I go okay, Well that's fine,

(55:20):
all right, you know, she's let me be adventurous. Okay, sure,
so I ordered some some appetizer or a couple. They
come and then she doesn't want any okay.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
So she didn't want to advertiser. But you asked her
what she wanted, all right, and then that is the
same thing for dinner.

Speaker 12 (55:35):
She didn't even order an entree. That's when is like
red black. That's like it's gonna make any sense.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Wait, but she agreed to go to dinner with you,
but was never gonna.

Speaker 12 (55:46):
I I don't like I took I took all this
time to like find this place.

Speaker 1 (55:52):
She's taught us.

Speaker 12 (55:52):
She's a foodie, so I'm assuming she does eat at
some point and you know, in her day throughout her life.
But like, I like, she did she eat before? This
is what I'm like saying, Like, why would you go
out to dinner with somebody and not be hungry? Like
she didn't order an entente, not even a salad.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
She didn't even Like this is kind of weird because
you're you're hungry and you're eating because it's dinner time.
And then I can't even.

Speaker 12 (56:15):
Eat everything because it's weird, right because she's like watching
me eat. It was so off putting.

Speaker 1 (56:20):
Well, o's Olivia, because Olivia's here and I'm very forgetful
and I sometimes forget that part of it. But Olivia,
you uh, you went to dinner with this guy, but
you didn't order anything at.

Speaker 14 (56:31):
All yeah, and I'm confused, like I got ghosted because
I wasn't hungry, Yes, like that, Why would.

Speaker 1 (56:40):
You go out to dinner with somebody if you're not hungry?

Speaker 4 (56:42):
Like we're thirsty, right right?

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Right? Yeah? I mean why why not?

Speaker 14 (56:46):
And you don't look like I do by eating when
you're not hungry. But like, I don't get it.

Speaker 6 (56:52):
Like.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Because I've been known to eat when I'm not hungry,
So I guess I'm not at your level. We eat here, Yeah,
But like I guess if I accepted a dinner date
with someone, then even if I weren't hungry, I would
order something because that's the activity, that's what we're doing.
We're here to eat. And then if the other person
isn't like you and it actually enjoys consuming food, then
I feel like they're gonna eat. And then it's awkward

(57:16):
when you're sitting there staring at him. So did you
eat before? And you just didn't? I don't know. And
the other thing is we hear all the time about
these guys that don't put any thought into a date. Well,
he picked a place for you because he because you
told him that you were a foodie, so he splurged
and yet then you didn't even partake.

Speaker 14 (57:32):
But he didn't have to splurge. There was actually a
very cheap date.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Okay, but then tell him that, like when you saw
the place, why didn't you say, I don't I don't
really want to eat.

Speaker 14 (57:41):
I mean I did when I didn't order, Like, if
you're not hungry, you don't eat.

Speaker 11 (57:45):
But it's not crazy.

Speaker 1 (57:46):
But then don't go to This is the part that
I guess we're all confused about it.

Speaker 14 (57:50):
I may have to get to know each other not
to eat food.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
Well, then plan a different kind of date, like I
mean again, I plan it, but I think you're missing
the call here.

Speaker 4 (58:00):
She's been dissing us the whole time.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
She was, well, we don't look like her. Okay, we
don't look.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Like her, and then is beneath her. Apparently I'm just excusing.

Speaker 11 (58:11):
Like.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
You wanted to know why he didn't call you, and
he didn't call you because he planned a dinner date
for you based on your interests. And then when you
went to the dinner date, you just sat there and
stared at him, and I think that made him uncomfortable.
And it's like, hey, when we go to a restaurant,
we eat again, it wasn't like you guys had planned
something else. And then he's like, I'm hungry and you

(58:34):
weren't you agreed to a dinner date.

Speaker 14 (58:37):
Yeah, I just I mean, I guess. I guess I'm

Calin's Entertainer Report. He is on the Press show.

Speaker 8 (01:00:12):
Miss Reba McIntyre is slamming an AI generated image that
falsely showed her at Dolly Parton's hospital bedside, and really
she's slamming AI in general on Instagram.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
She said, you tell him Dolly.

Speaker 8 (01:00:24):
That AI mess has got us doing all kinds of
crazy things. She joked, you're out here dying, I'm out
here having a baby, which must have been another AI image,
which is wild.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
She finished my saying, well, both of us know you're
too young and I'm too old.

Speaker 8 (01:00:36):
You're too young to die and I'm too old for
any of that nonsense. But you better know I'm praying
for you. I love you with all my heart, and
I can't wait to see you soon. Love you as
you know. Dolly's sister Freda posted a message asking for prayers,
which had all of us worried that we may be
close to losing the country legend, which I personally.

Speaker 4 (01:00:54):
Cannot take at this point in time.

Speaker 8 (01:00:56):
I can never take it, but I certainly specifically at
this time, can't handle it or ever please, but specifically,
like I'm you know, remember, there was also that AI
image of a tour poster with both of them doing
a co headlining tour.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
I'm here for.

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
I wish that was real.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
I saw Tupacket mister Rogers the other day talking to
each other. That was crazy. That was I had no
idea they knew each other so well.

Speaker 4 (01:01:21):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
That was wild.

Speaker 8 (01:01:23):
Yeah, you know, with all this going on in the world,
it's nice to see that they they just brought right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:28):
No, no, exactly, I had no idea that they chilled
like that, but it was cool to see.

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
You know what's crazy is even before all this AI stuff.
I have a.

Speaker 8 (01:01:36):
Special photo of Marilyn Monroe and Tupac on us stop
that is absolutely one hundred percent acting real.

Speaker 4 (01:01:41):
And then you took my favorite photo. You had it
put on a shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Well, well the fashion brand it's called the bands called
fashion and they did that for us. And I was
able to locate that in a dry fit a d
F configuration for you.

Speaker 8 (01:01:55):
Yeah, because you wanted me to be like super hot
and warm if I weren't what I was.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Either like maybe working out perhaps or also in more
of a fashion sense, because it had kind of a
sheame to it as well. So it was beautiful that
I was able to find it for you. It wasn't
a Facebook ad at all.

Speaker 8 (01:02:11):

real photo. Luca Doncik says. His pregame playlist to hype

the Brunch Factory, the Friday Throwback Dance Party. Deed Janda
Rottic gets neck more Bread Show.

Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
Next.

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
I want to talk to the people who are like,
my kid's kind of a dumbass. You don't say it
like that, but you know what I mean, Like everybody,
everybody knows Bread Show is on. Guys, it's Friday. It's
the second stap on the Thank You thirteen Tour, Riverwoods

(01:18:35):
Brunch Factory. Good morning, jasonik Hi, Calen onliness back in
the studio. Show this Shelley's here, Bellahamine as well. Uh
so this is the second stap. The third stop next week,
let's called Avocado Theory. I heard there's a line forming, now,
that's what I heard. And then we take a week

(01:18:55):
off and then on Halloween, said tell Rooster in West Town.
But this morning Brunch Factory. I looked several times before
I well, actually I was halfway here before I looked
to make sure that I had it right because we
were talking earlier. I genuinely had a bit of a
nightmare or a bit of a like a panic attack
that I had maybe clicked on the wrong thing at
you know, four forty five, and the brain wasn't totally

(01:19:18):
on yet, and I was on my way to the
one that we are never doing. I made one up.

Speaker 3 (01:19:24):
Yeah, extra stop. That's very very like I been at
that early in the morning. I had the same nightmare
that I went and set up a whole broadcast in
the wrong spot.

Speaker 1 (01:19:31):
So because you come to a place that I haven't
been here much, and you come to Riverwoods, I've been before,
but you know it's been a while. Yeah, and you
come in to pitch black and then you now the
sun's up, and I'm like, oh, there's a whole community here, right.
But it's just sort of you know, I'm just trusting
that I'm going in the right direction because no. One
of my commuter is about four blocks, so you know

(01:19:52):
this is this is much different.

Speaker 2 (01:19:54):
Yeah, yeah, I was.

Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
My GPS was like, stay on this expressway for forty
three miles.

Speaker 2 (01:19:58):
I was like, oh, okay, no, it's good.

Speaker 1 (01:20:00):
Yeah, it's good because we're out here and we're hanging
out with the folks. Some of the thirteen that listened
to us also some randoms that were just hungry and
walked in and wondered, what is going on?

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:20:10):
The other thing is I feel like I've I've been saying,
you know that we were going to be here at
the Brunch Factory maybe seven or eight times a day
for the last you know, two weeks, and then someone's like,
did you announce this like that? Well, yeah, yeah, we
certainly did. We did. But here we are, and you
can come by for another hour or so. I've got
new Teddy Swims music to play for you. I've got
the Friday Throwback dance party, of course, Djana Roddick. We'll

(01:20:32):
get to headlines, fun Fact and the Entertainer Report this hour.
What are you working on.

Speaker 8 (01:20:36):
The final nail in the coffin over the drake Kendrick Beef. Also,
if that singer David is innocent, he is making some
very interesting moves.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Yeah, Cawon's Entertainer Report is on the press show.

Speaker 8 (01:20:49):
That singer David, who of course is the singer who's
been in the headlines after the body of that fourteen
year old girl, Celestory of Us was found in his
car is making some inter seeing moves since all of
this started. According to new legal documents, the singer transferred
the deeds to two of his Houston area homes under
some sort of I don't know, protection or maybe evasion.

(01:21:12):
I'm not sure what he's doing, but David made the
changes on September eighteenth and.

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
Twenty second, and the dates are interesting.

Speaker 8 (01:21:19):
The LAPD executed a search warrant at the La rental
home where he was living in on September seventeenth, and
he has since moved out of that home. The eighteenth
was the same day that cops were called to one
of his homes for a swatting incident. If you missed that,
the caller, who was apparently using some sort of device
to mass their voice, falsely reported a shooting and a
dead female victim.

Speaker 4 (01:21:39):
Cops showed up.

Speaker 8 (01:21:40):
His parents answered and said, hey, his sister and brother,
who are younger, are sleeping upstairs.

Speaker 4 (01:21:46):
As you know.

Speaker 8 (01:21:46):
The last body was found in a tesla that belongs
to him after being reported by missing by her family
earlier last year. He then canceled the rest of his tour,
put his deluxe album Rollette on hold and has not
been seen in public sense.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
So he's transferring.

Speaker 8 (01:22:02):
Deeds of homes to names of other people and his family.
Oh okay, auspicious, interesting, very interesting. Moving on to Drake,
who remember filed that defamation lawsuit against Universal Music Group,
claiming that Kendrick Lamar's distract not Like Us falsely accused
him of being a pedophile and harmed his reputation.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
While a judge in Manhattan.

Speaker 8 (01:22:22):
Yesterday dismissed the case, ruling that the lyrics in not
Like Us are protected opinion not factual statements, especially given
the context of a heated rap battle and hyperbolic insults
typically thrown at each other while we're doing distracts.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
Which is just funny that that made it to court.

Speaker 8 (01:22:40):
I was excited for this to be over, but of course,
Drake's legal team says they plan to appeal the decision.

Speaker 10 (01:22:44):
Oh Drake, let it go, Let it go.

Speaker 4 (01:22:49):
Yeah, I'm tired, like we got a whole new beat.

Speaker 10 (01:22:52):
Taylor and Charlie.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Focus on anything but that. I'm exhausted.

Speaker 8 (01:22:57):
Jennifer Aniston says that when people will tell her that,
they go back and watch episodes of Friends to help
their mental health. It is the ultimate compliment. That is
the compliment that she puts at the highest level.

Speaker 1 (01:23:09):
It looks so old timey now really Friends? Yeah, yeah,
like the production value and the like the look, yeah,
and just everything and just look at me from the nineties.
It looks so old timy.

Speaker 6 (01:23:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:23:20):
I'm so used to rewatching it that I don't even
really think about that.

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
But there are a lot of episodes that would have
ended up differently if we had like cell phones or
the internet.

Speaker 1 (01:23:29):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:23:29):
There's like a whole oh yeah episode centered around like
a voicemails.

Speaker 1 (01:23:32):
Like one step above a Charlie Chaplin film at this point.

Speaker 4 (01:23:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:23:38):
As for her late costar Matthew Perry, she said, it's
heartbreaking that he had so many demons, but boy, for
someone who had that much inner turmoil, he sure got
to laugh a lot.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
And that was everything to him.

Speaker 8 (01:23:48):
And so it was a good interview if you're a
fan of Friends or her, And I just want.

Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
To lastly give a shout out to Julia Roberts. She
was on Watch What Happens Live.

Speaker 8 (01:23:57):
I don't miss an episode because my boot Andy hosts
it and she's been married for I think twenty five years.

Speaker 4 (01:24:02):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:24:03):
Andy asked her the last time that she cried, and
she said, this morning, when my husband went to the
airport to leave.

Speaker 6 (01:24:10):
She is so in.

Speaker 4 (01:24:10):
Love with her husband.

Speaker 8 (01:24:11):
Wow, after twenty five year years, that's like that she
teared up because he.

Speaker 1 (01:24:16):
Was leaving a lot of married people relate to that. Yeah,
you cry every time your husband goes to air court.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
We have a husband shaking his head. I you know,
I like.

Speaker 1 (01:24:25):
Crying right now because he's four feet away from her
across the tables. Yeah. I didn't say tears of pain,
tears of joys of.

Speaker 8 (01:24:33):
Joy because you get to have your house in peace.
And I relate to that. I understand that. But yeah,
I just what is love like that? I mean, well,
you you're kind of like that snappy.

Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
I get really sad, like if I'm not going to
be home or I don't know, Yeah, I get a
little bit that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:48):
I don't know if I'm weeping. But did you get sad?

Just search the Fred Show on demand.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
I So we're in Riverwoods this morning for a little
while longer at the brunch Factory. A very very classy,
subdued crowd this morning, but consistent, you know, coming in
to get their breakfast, get their apple pie, the martinis,
which looked pretty good. I gotta tell you, you know,
be honest. Abotn't have to drive home. Uh maybe I would.
Maybe i'd pounded a couple, Yeah exactly. But let me

(01:25:45):
see here, I got biggest stories of the day quickly.
The Cubs won. Got any Cubs fans in here? And
I only one? We got a couple, we got two.
I thought I was on the right side of town
or am I too close to Milwaukee? We got Brewish
table in here, No, we can't have that. But the
Cubs won. They played tomorrow elimination game and hopefully they
win and then move on to play the Laker or
excuse me, the Dodgers of Los Angeles, not the Lakers.

(01:26:06):
That'd be something. If they had to play the Lakers,
that would be that sounds like something Jason would say. Yeah,
but hey, yeah, we're on the radio right now. Though,
if we could maybe have a conversation just a second,
and I love you so much, yeah, hang out, hang
out just a second and then we'll do whatever you wanted,
or we could honestly, we could just have a conversation

(01:26:26):
on the air. Yeah, yeah, right, exactly. Guys, I do
have some sad dudes. Sister Jean passed away since you's
one hundred and six though, which I'm not. I mean,
it's obviously sad when people passed, but you lived to
be one hundred and six. You you did your big one.

Speaker 5 (01:26:39):
Yes, you really had a good run.

Speaker 8 (01:26:41):
It's hired, though, Like she had no time to like
be hot girl summer.

Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
You know she's taking get to go to turch and
k Coast. You know she didn't get to right, I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:26:50):
She may have with Jason's money, yeah, I mean I paid.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
She had gone to Greece every year for the last
however many years, and then for it for several years
to come right. She bought a place Santorini is what I.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Heard from what I paid.

Speaker 1 (01:27:02):
I think you can get access to it now as
part of your student loan. Death but one hundred and
six years old. She became widely beloved during Loyola's remarkable
twenty eighteen Final four run, where her presence pregame, prayers
and encouragement made her a national figure, and the president
of Loyola said that she was an a valuable source
of wisdom and grace whose spirit abides in thousands of lives.

(01:27:24):
We went through the NFL picture earlier. Those will be
because Jason can't remember what they were. Those will be
on the iHeart radio app. You can check that Out's
World Mental Health Day, focusing on the aftermath of natural
disasters and obviously encouraging people to be mindful of their
mental health. A Ryanair flight from Italy to Scotland. Imagine
knowing that you were on this flight after the fact

(01:27:45):
because of weather, it landed with only six minutes of
fuel remaining on the plane. Six minutes. That's like if
you land it O'Haire with six minutes of gas, you're
not going to make it to the gate, right, No,
Like we getting out somewhere between the runway and I
don't know, we're gonna add somewhere.

Speaker 2 (01:28:01):
You get that blow up side?

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
Yeah, right, we're in Elgin.

Speaker 4 (01:28:04):
I've done it on less.

Speaker 8 (01:28:05):
I pulled into the gas station with less right, and
this is impressive.

Speaker 5 (01:28:10):
I don't we know our cars? Yeah, we know how
that's what happened.

Speaker 1 (01:28:13):
Came on in the plane and they were like, nah,
we got a while ago. Yeah, exactly. So when heke
and it's Kiki that this is the least surprising news
of the day. But when E comes on, how much
longer will you drive? Another week?

Speaker 5 (01:28:26):
About two days?

Speaker 6 (01:28:27):
You know?

Speaker 10 (01:28:27):
He is just like, hey, girl, don't forget about me.
You know, but we still got time.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
No, he means empty actually right now, parking lot. A
gazillion years ago, a woman told me that she judges
men based on the status of their gas tank when
they get it in his car. Really, have you ever
paid attention to this? Like if the guy's gas tanks
always empty, like he's a brokie or something.

Speaker 8 (01:28:54):
Keky knows how I am as a passenger, we could
be upside down.

Speaker 4 (01:28:56):
I literally do not care.

Speaker 5 (01:28:57):
Yeah, she just she just vibes.

Speaker 10 (01:28:59):
But I would judge a man more off of how
my gas tank looks when I'm with him. Yes, so
like you should be making sure my gas tank is and.

Speaker 4 (01:29:08):
You need to get out and pump my ga Hello.

Speaker 1 (01:29:10):
Yeah, okay, all right, good to know. I'll keep that
in mind. Ally Dank went away with electric cars, so
it doesn't matter. Yeah right, No, that's not true at all.

Speaker 5 (01:29:18):
Want to eat with you, Fred, What is going on?

Speaker 4 (01:29:20):
He's like, Babe, could you get the gas?

Speaker 1 (01:29:21):
Or Yeah, you're always saying that to me too, Babe,
can you get the gas? I'm like, I'm your coworker. Okay,
did you get our gas?

Speaker 11 (01:29:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:29:29):
Right, you can call it me, babe. We're gonna wind
up in one of those HR videos we were talking
about Tennessee mother I gave birth. They and I love
how they have to specify gave birth be a c
section to a massive baby thirteen pounds, twelve pounds and
fourteen ounces. Oh no, I mean, I don't know if
that won't what the record is, but that is a

(01:29:50):
huge baby. I can only imagine there's a criminal mastermind
out there. He's from Florida. His name is Justin. He's
facing federal charges after allegedly stealing seven grand where this
hatch off lottery tickets from a circle k in Saint
Pete and then returning to redeem his winning tickets at
an hour later at the same store. Like you looked familiar, man,
Like I've seen you somewhere before, you know, And then

(01:30:13):
as a woman wanted And again I have to be
careful with this story. I mean, these are all medical terms,
but people are eating and whatnot. But a woman named
Janeta is wanted by Toledo, Ohio police. She's accused of
kicking in the front door to her boyfriend's home, entering
and then cutting his rhymes with them rhymes with I

(01:30:33):
don't know beneath it. It rhymes with modem. It does
so so lower than lower than what you said, Like, well,
I think it's isn't that it's different? Well, well, I
haven't looked at an anatomical map of myself in a while,
But anyway, it's that that area and that region, and
apparently then it left one area fully exposed and he

(01:30:56):
had to go to the hospital. She's being charged with
felonious assault andious bodily harm and aggravated burglary. Imagine trying
to explain that to the next guy she matches with
on a hinge or whatever, you know, like, so, yeah,
I was in jail for a while, what'd you do? Well,
sliced open? You know. The guy's essential area.

Speaker 5 (01:31:16):
Should have put gas in our car if only he had.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
And it's funny because it says right here that was
the problem. So the fun Fact, we'll do it next.
It's about a very very wealthy woman. Oh, yes, guess
it's about Kiki. Okay, it's about Jason. Yes, okay, it's
about a very wealthy woman named Jason, and he is
keys to success. No longer is he paying student loans

(01:31:42):
because sister Gene has passed, and and also finding me out.
It will pay your bills for you from day one.

full police escort. All The only cop I saw this

(01:33:03):
