Speaker 2 (00:46):

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
It was pretty iconic. I mean, the thing is, yes,
apparently it was when he met him. Yeah, I him twice.
It was all right, it was just it was it
was fine. It was the third one I did in
a week.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
So yeah, the world.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
I feel like people that work there normally, like in
New York, say that he shows up to a lot
of stuff. Yeah, you're in his hood, so he's kind
of always around.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
You're in his side of town.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Okay, but a big deal for you. I think he's
old news. But you met Robert de.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Niro, I mean, okay, so I know he's like an
iconic actor, but like.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I don't know Robert de Niro movie. What movie was
he in? Yes, we know We Meet the Parents. I
didn't see that. You know, Evich, I know of it.

Speaker 3 (02:39):
I mean, that's that's like people screaming right now, Like that's.

Speaker 7 (02:42):
Classic, my favorite. That's your generation Christmas movie. We don't
talk about enough is Good Fellas.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh yeah, expected him to say that that was before
he was born. He doesn't want to do things before
he was born. But like that was after you were born,
which is why bringing it up. Very famous role. Yeah,
I know, I know about it. You've heard about him.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Robert. He was very nice.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I met Nero, Yeah, and he was nice though.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
He was very nice. His granddaughters were there.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
They wanted to were they his daughters or granddaughters? Because
I think it isn't easy ones that has babies.

Speaker 5 (03:14):
Yeah, they were like younger, so I think it might
be I think.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
It might be her daughters. I don't yeah, because he's
liker to have kids, you know, he likes have kids.
And it turns out you can have kids when you're
a guy, Yeah, you can have kids.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Robert, did they look like that? I think these are
his kids?

Speaker 5 (03:31):
Oh yeah, that's that's kind of shocking to me though,
that that they would his kids would be like, hey, dad,
guy go to jingle Ball and he'd go, sure, and
then he'd go with them.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Like good for him, But I don't think he'd have
like a staff for that.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
Yeah, I know, he eighty something.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
If I'm Robert DeNiro, probably like, yeah, you can go
see Hundres by yourself.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
I'm gonna you are going, and you're gonna be treated.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
He's eighty two or dad, He walked the record, he
took photos.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
That maybe that was the deal. It was like, yeah,
we'll give you whatever you want, but you have a show.
They got to meet everybody.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
If you recall, Paulina, many years ago, Robert de Niro
was in town and you decided you were going to
go a interview him.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
This is your first big interview. Probably yeah, and you
decided you also were going to bring you mom.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, I brought you. Weren't supposed to do and number one,
that's right. So then your mom, Mama Marta comes with
you to the interview, which I'm sure made the PR
people just so happy. And then it was don't take
any pictures? Yeah, you don't take any And then what
does your mom do jumps the day the red carpet

(04:39):
to take a picture. It's no sort of mistake that
we haven't been invited back to anything anything made your
motion picture Red Carpet.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
Yeah, no, yeah, I have not been No, no, no,
I'm saying. I'm like, yeah, you have it. But I
was being funny, I was being silly. I haven't been
invited back. She can't invite you have not.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
She wanted to, Well I.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Was invited to begin with.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
No one's invited. They have never called me back.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Well I think I know.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
But you know what, though my mom didn't do that,
I would not have a picture. And I will give
her the credit for this.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
About Marta, I.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Know I have a picture and he didn't.

Speaker 7 (05:15):
He's like yeah, but the guy behind him, his PR
person was not happy. But yeah, I'm sure they had
to talk about that when they got back.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
To the hot Jason has a list of the people
who pull stuff like that at Jingle Bawl. Yeah, he
knows knows exactly who and and those people will.

Speaker 8 (05:31):
Back.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
You just have to shoot.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
I mean we were supposed to not do that with Nelly,
I think, or like take a group photo with Nellie
and we were.

Speaker 7 (05:38):
Like, you know what, who put the hell out there?
Because Nellie asked us for photos. That boy he wanted
us to hang out. Yes, but they're like, no, don't
get any photos making a photo. Everybody stand back, like what.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
It was being called on the stage as she was
supposed to be out on the stage.

Speaker 3 (05:55):
That really happened.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Yes, she risked her entire for a photo, a photo
of Nellie, and I respect that move. Yeah, I made
it all happen. Though your wrangler was like, oh my god.
Oh they were scared. They were like pooping.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Your wrangle's not very good because oh.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
No, they were trying.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
They were carrying out walking the wrangle like she was like, no,
this will be fine, And this is how we all feel.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
When we live in her orbit.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Jason puts people in charge of other people just to
make sure this doesn't happen. Was I supposed to have
one this year?

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I noticed? I didn't know. I'm super responsible, you.

Speaker 8 (06:29):
Know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm always right to be easiest, to always be I've
had a wrangler somehow, someone say, and I went to
one place.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I was like, wow, okay, now yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
You're fancy now. Yeah, morning everybody. It's Monday, December fifteenth.
We've officially lost it, I think, and then we lost
it long ago. But it's been it's been lost.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
But we're here.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Hikalen Hi Jason met Robert de Niro like it. Oh, yeah,

Speaker 4 (07:30):
K Why leading Ga guy had to stop a show
mid concert in Australia. Also, Jason might not remember, but
I know, I have my ears to the streets at
jingle Ball, So I have some other things that happened
that you may have forgotten.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Okay, God, well he was so busy, Robert Robert.

Speaker 9 (07:47):
Yeah, so see t drer right, get out my way here,
Amy chair here, I love tho.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
I will see it at the iHeart event. They were
always just random celebrities that I don't like it, huh,
you know, and I'm always wow, but not the ones
you'd think, Like I saw Ian Zering a few years
ago and I was like, whoa, it's Steve.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's Steve.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
But then right behind him is Lenny Kravitz. I'm like whatever,
It's always just random. Who was there that? Who else?
Did you see?

Speaker 1 (08:20):
There was Mormon wives? Yeah, well I was a group
of them. I don't know. Also something you call friend
about did you get? I don't know them all.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
There was just a group of them. I'm on the
radio in Salt Lake City and we trashed you on
a regular interview.

Speaker 10 (08:35):
You.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
Oh, we've asked, We've asked, we've been denied.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
I was, I know I was the one that asked.
But maybe if Jason was a person.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Yeah, I don't trash all of them. I trush their
husbands more than I do. Okay, probably girls themselves.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
But you know, it's interesting this last season I kind
of had a I don't know, I feel differently, but
I still don't.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I have a different viewpoint on some of them, Like
I'm a little more of a tailor guy. Now, if
you watch The Secret Wives of Morbid Lives, I don't know.
At first, I was like, she kind of walks into
this kind of her fault, and then I was like,
she's not so bad.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
She's kind of the peacekeeper of the group.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
She's kind of a moral compass, which is wild to say, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
If you watch that show, But anyway, you're welcome on
any time, ladies. If he ever calls back, right, I'd get, well,
would I get my hair cut by that one woman?
I don't know, Oh I know, ye, hey it's red
for jay Z. Here's a lot. How are you we
might have to do that to them? So I was
I don't think this guy cussed. I hope he didn't.
I watched this last night, but I was absolutely shook

(09:33):
by this, absolutely shook, like mind blown. And if you
guys knew this and never told me This is no
different than when Jason meets Roberts in your own doesn't call. Okay,
but when I'm going with this is I'm gonna play
this for you and then I want to know if
you know something like this that it just seems like
the world just doesn't know, and you can blow our

(09:53):
minds eight five five five nine three five. This is
a guy and maybe this is his thing, is like
exposing life hacks or whatever.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
But this one over a million likes on this video. Listener,
here's something I wish I knew before I was in
my thirties.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Okay, So what he's doing is he is showing you
the difference you can delete letter by letter on a computer,
like on your keyboard. You can hit delete, delete, delete,
letters go away. If you hit control and delete entire
words go away. Oh he's supposed to just letters. So
right now here he is, he's deleting, and now he's

(10:31):
going word by words. Control delete goes word by word. Okay,
that goes away. So this is the video that he
watched and he was like, no way. So he sits
down in front.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Of his computer deletes some entire words. I keep finding
these life hacks.

Speaker 10 (10:43):
Now that I don't want to try because I know
it's going to work, and I don't want to try this.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
And there he goes control and there it goes. It works.
So if you hold down control and then delete, I
just did it, but I don't like how it does
it though, whole words go away? Why do you like?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
It does it from?

Speaker 7 (11:05):
Like?

Speaker 5 (11:06):
You know how like if you start the end of
a sentence and you hit delete, it goes like to
the left and starts deleting like that's how goes the
opposite way, so like instead of it going like this,
watch I don't know if I'm describing it, see how
it deletes everything after instead of going backwards the.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Way he's doing it, it goes. It goes the same
way that backspace does.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
It topace, it goes like that. Yeah, it deletes going
like to the right. I don't know how to describe
it the way he.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Was doing it. Just now it goes maybe you have
a mac or what? No, girl, we have like an
offrand you think provided computer?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
I run a radio station on that.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah. No, But the way he was doing it, it
was it worked the same way as backspace, except I
don't accept it. The whole word that would be helpful. Yeah,
So like, okay, if you hit if you hit backspace,
then it just deletes or a letter rather just a letter.
If you hit control, you hold control and hit backspace
on this thing, at least it does the same thing.

(12:09):
So if it takes the whole word out.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Okay, So backspace does it the right way. Delete doesn't.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Oh maybe that was what I I'm sorry, Well backspace
is what I meant. Yeah, And so then it as
opposed to going so like, if you wanted to delete
maybe a whole sentence, you know how, you would just
hold down backspace. So if you hit control backspace, then
entire words go away, one by one space.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Aren't you blown away?

Speaker 1 (12:31):
I am?

Speaker 4 (12:31):
I feel like I would just highlight a sentence if
I wanted it to go away at once.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
But now you don't have to. Now you can. Now
you can use the keyboard to do it.

Speaker 1 (12:38):
How much time could that save?

Speaker 3 (12:40):
Well, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Moving your hand to your mouth, now you can keep
it on.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
The key you could do it. I've lived my whole life.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
I could have been so many I could have accomplished
so much more, really could Yeah, with the extra tide,
you could have done a lot more with your life
than you have if you had known this.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
Yeah, I'm sorry, but I was shocked by I did,
and there we're a million other people. I'm like, how
did I not know my whole life that you could
do this.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
I feel like there's a lot of stuff like that
on our phones too that we don't know, like how
to use that could be helping us.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Yeah, so many shortcuts from share on iPhone.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Right, Like we need to take a class like old people.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah, I'm gonna go to the Apple store and sit there.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
I'm on a Wednesday, And please tell fraid to stop
repeating things over and over. We're not dumb. Well, actually,
no one in the room understood what I was talking about,
so I was trying to explain it more clearly since
I wasn't clearly explaining it.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Hey, you guys might not be dumb, but we are.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Please tell the textures to stop complaining about stupid things.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, they we're almost there.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, Really, well, if the room were grasping it, then
I wouldn't have said it over and over. There was
obviously a problem with the way that I was explaining it,
so I was trying to explain it better no, no, no,
and it also wasn't working.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
I'm slow, okay, I'm very slow. Oh come on, hey,
look into my eyes.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Good God, you'll complain about anything. People will be kink.
People will complain about absolutely anything.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
One more time, tell me about the backspace.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Trying to do it?

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, she's still trained on.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
If I say it one more time, this lady's gonna
come down here and kicking me in the face.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Kinky still hasn't gotten it.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Okay, so maybe a weird time and you're smart, so
bid have you not figured that out yet?

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Que stop complaining.

Speaker 6 (14:28):
But.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
Just deleted.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Everything she was supposed to is gone. She's still trying
to figure out how to do it. And this woman
saying we're not dumb, maybe we are tough. It's so
impossible that we're stupid. Okay, have you not figured that
out yet? My god stopped? Anyway, I agree with you.
I agree with you that I think that people have
no idea like how to use all the anywhere near

(14:55):
all the features on their phones and computers.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
No clue whatsoever. For sure, I wish I did my
grandfather had this guy that my grandfather was involved, like
he'd in ownership of very small radio stations and one
of the guys and he passed away. He would be
I think he'd be one hundred by now.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
But he had a guy that worked for him, who
I think is now in his early nineties, and up
until about a year ago, he worked at the Apple store.
So this guy retired and he got bored and decided
to work at the Apple store. The most personable old
man you've ever met. I'm sure they threw a huge
party when he left, like I don't know how I'm
not sure how good he could have been he as
an employee, but he was so passionate about the products. Anyway,

(15:32):
he would sell me Apple stuff at his discount, and
he was very proud that he could. I believe it
was ten percent off. He was very proud that he
could get me ten percent off. And I would always
buy from him because I think he really felt like
he was doing me a solid. After my grandfather died, like, oh,
I got you. Don Nelson was his name.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
I got you. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
He retired recently, but the last iPad he sold me
was an iPad pro and he said, I will only
sell this to you, Christopher, if you promised to come
into the store near you and take one of the
courses that we have have free classes. I guess about
the products, and his thing was, you'll never ever imagine
all the things you could do with this that you
didn't know. So I will sell you this very very

(16:12):
valuable tool at a ten percent discount if you promised
to go learn more about it and I didn't do it, what.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Am I going to go to the Apple store?

Speaker 1 (16:21):
He's one wish, like the mall before.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
He loves some dude, you know he did.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
He did.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
First of all, he's still alive, so I don't think
it was his final wish.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
He really wishes.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
But his point was like you'd be amazed if like
there's stuff all over this thing that no one tells
you about and it doesn't come with any form of
instructions or anything, but like it's incredible with these I mean,
there are short cuts for everything and none of us
know them because no one taught No one taught us system.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, this might be hard because there's technology around. But
if they give us like sippy cup full of wine
or something, you know, and we did like a show class,
like an after dark class.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
Yeah, yeah, Martinis and Max, somebody, let's get crafty. Somebody
get that on the phone. Do we have any salespeople here?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Tell me sell you know, I would go to them
dirty martinis and some guy teaching me how to do
fancy stuff, how to hide things I'm watching? How do
I make it that my browsing history will never be
exposed after my death?

Speaker 8 (17:26):
How do we do that?

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I'm very curious. Text one three five, Fred, You're stupid. No,
that's not it. Actually I already got that one today.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
It says, hey, Fred, one thing my brother in law
and I bond over is your show? Could you please
wish Matt a happy thirty third birthday. Thank you, Happy birthday, Matt.
What a guy?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
What a guy.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I'm glad you guys can bond At least your brother
in law listens. Okay, so we all knew. I'm just
looking up different stuff that maybe your phone does that
you didn't know. We we know that we can use
the phone as as as a scanner. Uh like it's
a document you knew that, right, as a document scanner?
Oh like like you're supposed to using like the scanner
machine out here. Your phone can scan it, make it

(18:07):
a PDIA.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
You didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Oh your phone's a scanner, you don't need to own
that ugly thing. And I don't own my house. I
think they're ugly, so I don't have one. Did you
know that you can create? And then what I want
to know is more importantly, like to be in the
meeting where everyone smokes weed and discuss this, like you
know what, man like this one. You can create custom
vibration patterns for VIP contacts such that like the phone

(18:34):
could be in your pocket and it would and if
it's a text from someone specific that you set a
pattern to, like, you could make the pattern like like
the vibrate go however you want it, like, you know,
if you wanted it to go like whatever you then
it would do that, and then you would know in
your pocket like.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Oh that's mom or whatever. I wouldn't make it.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I wouldn't make it too intense when reaching out. I
wouldn't make it too crack it up. No, I wouldn't
do that. One level of your DIY projects with your
phones built in a level. Okay, I think a lot
of people knew there was a level in there. But
you don't need like a level thing anymore, like a
physical one there's a dark mode for extending battery life.
You can use the volume buttons as a camera shutter.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Did you know that?

Speaker 8 (19:19):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (19:20):
You can turn your phone into a hotspot. I think
people should know.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
My favorite thing ever. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
You can use your phone as a wireless mouse. What
turn your smartphone into a wireless mouse for your computer
with apps like Remote Mouse or Unified Remote. The hack
is perfect representations controlling media playback or using your computer
from a distance.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I love a mouse.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
I know you could do that.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
Um.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
You can use your phone as a magnifying glass. You
can set up a medical ID for emergencies, create custom
text replacement shortcuts. Turn your phone into a security camera.
Repurpose an old smartphone as a home security camera with
apps like Alfred or men thing m.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Let me see here.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
You can use your phone as a remote control, a
universal remote like for your TV.

Speaker 11 (20:07):
I do that?

Speaker 12 (20:08):
You do?

Speaker 9 (20:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Because at one time he took the remote to work
on accident. That was the final straw.

Speaker 13 (20:13):
You said never again, so to save our relationship, now
it's on our phones.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Amazing all kind oh from the person who was angry, Fred,
I wasn't complaining. I was giving you constructive advice. No
what I was doing.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I was I was fighting for my life, okay. I
was fighting for my life trying to explain my point okay,
and the room wasn't quite grasping it. So I was
beginning to think that I was the idiot. But I
don't think I was explaining it right. So I had
to re explain it, and then we got it. That's
what you just heard.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Mm hmmm. Save your advice for your radio show, Thank you.
Jo Fred's show is on Biggest Stories of the day, Love.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I just I just, of all the things I'm going
to do today, I didn't think that was the one
to complain about, but surely the show was plenty of time.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
There's gonna be more.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Just like hold.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
You know, it's like, uh, you know, when you go
into like the food court, you don't stop at the
first restaurant, you know, you look around.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
You sort of look.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
When you go to the airport, like yesterday, I went
to the airport, there's a big long you know whatever.
The concourse, you don't just stop at the first restaurant.
You don't stop at the first uh Guy Fieri's Pizza
kitchen right there. You don't stop. No, you gotta see
what else? Because what if I why know you do,
because if you ever see that, you're eating there immediately.
But like, what if I go, what if there's a

(21:28):
pot belly down the way in this case, there is
a Bojangles down the way, or what if there's a Starbucks?
Or what if there's even what if I see a
Starbucks but there's a duncan further down? Oh you can't
make that mistake. And now I'm holding my Starbucks. There
was a duncan the whole time. I just didn't walk
far enough. So what I'm saying is, don't complain about
the first thing that you hear, wait a little longer,
and then decide was that the most egregious thing? Or

(21:49):
was it something that happened in hour number three?

Speaker 3 (21:52):
You know what I mean? I do Yeah, yeah, I
can't really say that news to start the morning, and
I woke up and start I was like, this is all.
Rob Reder and his wife Michelle were killed by their son.
And I first saw this, I'm like what.

Speaker 2 (22:07):
The bodies of the legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife,
Michelle Singer Reiner were found dead inside of their Brentwood,
Los Angeles home and what authorities are calling an apparent
double homicide. They were killed by their son Nick. His
legacy spans decades and many genres. Perhaps you've heard of
him before, but this is spinal tap. When Harry met Sally,

(22:28):
stand by me, the princess bride. A few good men
involved with all of that marriage since nineteen eighty nine.
The couple shared three children and have been fixtures in
both Hollywood and philanthropy. Also sad news this morning, a
person of interest detaining connection with Saturday shooting at Brown
University has been released from custody after law enforcement officials
said that evidence now points in a different direction. The

(22:49):
shooting that happened there left two students dead and nine
others injured at the Ivy League school in Providence, Rhode Island.
In a statement on Sunday, Brown said that there's no
immediate threats to the community, even as the suspect remains
at large. In some happier news, the Heisman Trophy was
awarded over the weekend and Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza

(23:09):
won the Heisman Trophy.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Was a very very sweet speech. I did watch.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
He spoke in English, spoke in Spanish, He talked about
his mom. He cried the whole time Indiana plays in
the Rose Bowl on January first. You know, other sports
news and Jason, I know you're all over this, but
your boy Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes towards ACL last night.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
I saw that right at the end of the game,
right and.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
The winning moments of the Chiefs loss to the Chargers. Mahomes,
fighting to keep Kansas City's playoffs hopes playoff hopes alive,
was tackled while throwing the ball away.

Speaker 3 (23:40):
When down, grabbing his knee.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
He was helped off the field, later rule to have
a torn ACL on his left knee, which is a
devastating blow that instantly ended both his season and the
Chiefs postseason hopes. This is also the first playoff since
nineteen ninety eight that won't have Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
or Patrick Mahomes involved.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Wow, So there's them.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
The powerball jack but rose to an estimated one point
one billion dollars. I wouldn't necessarily brag when I well,
excuse me, I won't necessarily brag when I win, but
there would be signs you'd never see me again.

Speaker 3 (24:13):
You guys, you guys.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Would there would be a wire to your bank accounts,
there'd be a cash infusion, and then maybe after a
few years, I would I would like emerge with a
with a Howard Hughes beard, you know, and just you'd
be like, is that it can't be it. I'd have
like big gold chains and diamonds. I mean you might,
you might, you might see it that way, probably a

(24:36):
bunch of twenty five year olds all around me. It'd
be great, But that would be there's no way I'm
getting up at three o'clock in the morning.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
If I had one point one billion dollars in this
is no way.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Maybe I'd buy the place and I'd say, our show
starts at eleven am.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Our show starts at noon.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
And I know that's not great for those of you
driving and traffic in the morning, but like, I don't know,
maybe just drive later. It's when we start at noon,
we end when we feel like it some days later.
If I want one point one billion dollars, it'd be like, hey,
you know what we've been on for thirty eight minutes.
I'm not feeling it today. We'll try again tomorrow, you know,
We'll just go home and start over. Again, we'd have
no ratings, but it wouldn't matter. We have to have

(25:13):
a food story in the biggest stories of the day.
Rhesis puffs is going dark chocolate. Now here's another one.
Do any of you eat like just full on children
cereal in the morning?

Speaker 3 (25:22):
What do you even?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
So you guys eat like rabs this stuff in the morning,
But like, I really respect an adult who sits down
to a bowl of fruity pebbles or like a bowl
of Lucky Charms in the morning, Like.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
What's going on that?

Speaker 6 (25:33):
No?

Speaker 2 (25:34):
But I would I respect it? Like you you it's
nostalgic maybe for you. You're looking for a sugar bomb
and you're probably blaming it on your kids. You're probably like, hey,
it's what we got. We got tricks, guys, we got
tricks at the house. That's what we're having for breakfast.
But like, really, is that what it is? Or are
you just a glutton?

Speaker 12 (25:50):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (25:51):
So if a guy, if you went to a guy's house,
if you were single, and you, like, I don't know,
you guys messed around or whatever, and then you wake
up and he like goes to open the cabin to
have some breakfast and he pulls out of some some
count chocula needs so differently, or would you be like
this guy's got a whimsical spirit, like.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
He's getting a little That's exactly how I talk. I don't.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
I don't think grown men should eat cereal. Something about
the way it looks.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, I thought I was blown away by the backspace control.
Grown men shouldn't eat cereal.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
They also shouldn't be blonde. But that's another conversation.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I just I'm only grown up. I can only eat
special k like, is it grown up? I can only
eat grape nuts.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
I don't know. I don't know if I want to
watch a guy even do the like or eating soup, Like,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
I shouldn't eat soup either.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Yeah, you know what?

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Don't eat don't show your toes either, while we're at it.

Speaker 10 (26:46):

I can't eat cereal or soup.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
I can't be blonde. You know your fake bond was fine.
I just feel like natally actually blonde.

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Don't whatever you do.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I don't get that.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
Like, hey, where texture person? You offended?

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Now?

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Hope you're not blind?

Speaker 1 (27:46):
You want me to get the smoke?

Speaker 3 (27:47):

Speaker 6 (27:48):
For you?

Speaker 3 (27:48):
No, I'm just saying. I'm just saying, like, no, for me.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I mean there are people with their toes exposed in
ten degrees right now who are like I am offended.
There's a cereal eating listener right now. It's part of
the thirteen going really, yeah, this is where it ends?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Really, men with beards eating Snickers bars, That's where I.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Draw that, right, Yeah, pretty specific.

Speaker 3 (28:10):
You're thinking of one particular person.

Speaker 4 (28:15):
No, I agree, not a TwixT but a snicker, right,
don't yeah, don't eat candy like that either, eat any
candy shape like that.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Someone tell Fred count chocula is only a seasonal cereal
these days. As a man in his forties, I see
it on the shelf, I'm buying it. Well, I don't know.
I guess plan ahead, then, you know, buy some for
the have enough for the whole year. If that's you
got grown up money, go do that.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
That's right.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
These cks for men are so real.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
My girl single and I have corn pops, fruity pebbles, Snacks, smacks,
honeynut cereos, and raisin bran. Raisin brands responsible even though
those little raisins are covered in sugar, which is the
only reason that raisin Brand's good. So, like, if you
think maybe it's fiber and stuff, but if you think
that you're eating raisin brand because it's like it has
like dried fruit in it, the joke's on you because

(29:06):
those little dried fruits are covered in sugar, which is
why it's so good. So anyway, they're coming out with
the dark chocolate reeseus puffs, the combo peanut butter and
Hershe's milk chocolate debut in nineteen ninety four, and now
there have been I guess note or they haven't been
changed in new editions. Now the Reeseis Puffs dark chocolate
naturally flavored cereal has been added to the franchise. Umm, oh,

(29:29):
it's Reese's after Dark is what they're calling it? A
glow in the dark?

Speaker 3 (29:33):
Wait? Hold on?

Speaker 10 (29:33):
Wait what?

Speaker 3 (29:35):
I hold on?

Speaker 6 (29:37):
What?

Speaker 3 (29:37):
So of nuclear reactive cerio dark?

Speaker 2 (29:39):
To promote the cereal that's now on shelves, the brand
is partner with Vault forty nine to introduce Reeses after Dark,
a new glow in the dark chocolate universe that can
be found on the back of the box.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Oh okay.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
The word of the year. Another one of this is
from a Miriam Webster. The twenty twenty five ward of
the Year is slop, which means creepy, zany or demonstrably
fake content on the Internet. This is coming from the
rise of AI and people don't know what's real and whatever,
But slop is the Merriam Webster twenty twenty five word
of the Year. Pornhub is revealed the amount of women

(30:12):
watching porn is growing they.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Have a year in review report.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
There was a that's funny, there was a someone that
had skid about this on TikTok about like when all
these different you know, iHeart app or whomever comes out
with the year in review, you know you're you listen
to this and you're in this percentage of this.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
What if they did one for that when they.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Did like a year en wrapped for the things they
came and watched eighty seven thousand hours of Growing Girl.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Or whatever. But there is I guess they have a
year in review report, like for everybody.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
In twenty twenty five, females made a thirty percent thirty
eight percent of all visitors to the site, which is
up fourteen percent since twenty twenty five. It's still mainly
men watching this stuff in the US, with only twenty
eight percent of women going on the site. However, in
Mexico it was fifty to fifty. Ladies are watching more
of this kind of stuff. Women now make up the
majority of watchers of the content in the Philippines, Columbia,

(31:09):
and Argentina more than men. Shout out to the Philippines,
what else do I have here? Oh and the drunk
Virginia raccoon that we told you about, the one that
was found in the bathroom passed out of the liquor
store because it broke in. And then it was you know,
saves and released or whatever, rescued and released. Apparently he's

(31:30):
a repeat offender. Hanover County Animal Protection officers say that
it wasn't his first criminal offense.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
How do they know that?

Speaker 2 (31:39):
How they know it was him and not like his
cousin or something. But they said, this is not the
first time he's been in one of the buildings, and
added that he had apparently broke into a karate studio
and the DMV eating snacks along the way. But I
guess he's living his best life. But it turns out
this dude's a bit of a criminal. He's a bit
of a miscreant. You know, he's he's just breaking into

(32:01):
wherever and eating, drinking whatever he can. So but again,
did they like did they tag him.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Or something like?

Speaker 1 (32:07):
How do you know?

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Like, I know it's that raccoon. They all look very similar, right,
they ask him, it's you again? They looking at a
munk shot like what they do. It's National seatbelt Day,
It's National Family PJ Day. Now that's weird. And National
pickle Day. See, now you think that blonde blonde people
are strange, I don't know people. I think people who
all dress up in the same outfit.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
That's an egg.

Speaker 3 (32:30):
That's a little weird.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
Yeah, you know, just like my mom used to do this,
like when we were kids and everybody grandparents or whatever,
and and one year she got us all white, like
sweat sets. So there's a picture of our entire family
wearing all white. It's giving, insane, it's giving what they
give you when you go. It's giving. What Sharon was wearing,

(32:52):
Sharon Moore, was that his name, the Michigan coach. It's
it's giving. What he was wearing when he was indicted,
that's it's giving. Son Christmas was all like, we've been
locked up in some form of mental institution, which we
should have been, but we weren't.

Speaker 3 (33:07):
How many times did you do that story on Friday?
Four times?

Speaker 4 (33:10):
I did it twice an hour because those were your directions,
not mine.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
And Kayleb klen broke into programming on Thursday, shikesley I Lourie.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
I was like, can I please?

Speaker 3 (33:20):
I know it's the Radio fond for Children happening right now,
But boy, do I have a story for all of
you that'll warm your hearts.

Speaker 4 (33:26):
I was locked in, but I'm so proud of Paulina
and you already knew about.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
The story when I got to work. Paulina text me
the day before going what's going on with you?

Speaker 3 (33:34):
Of them?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
And I'm like, how long do you have?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
And I'm sure we'll get to it, because if you've
been listening for not a very long time. And Kayla
went to Michigan State, Michigan has a rival. Michigan State
had a similar controversy, not nearly as in depth as
this one. I mean, there are so many layers to this,
but Cayla was so excited to share with the world
what Michigan man are capable of. Yeah, I mean, and

(33:56):
it's getting worse. In fact, I saw a picture last
night he and his wife at the lawyer with the kid.
So I know she's standing by him.

Speaker 10 (34:03):
What not?

Speaker 6 (34:03):
What?

Speaker 9 (34:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Last night last night she he's pushing the strollers. She's
there with him. Oh God, And I gotta wonder, like
we did she know?

Speaker 7 (34:13):
You know?

Speaker 2 (34:13):
I mean, and again it's none of our business, but
like when I hear about multiple layers of infidelity and
OnlyFans and the assistant and the whole thing, the assistant
for years. I'm sure we'll talk about this later. And
then she's standing right there, and hey, I respect whatever
decision's best for she and her family, but I unless
she knew then this dude was doing her dirty.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Yeah, I mean, I feel awful for the kid in
the situation. My issue is mostly that it was covered
up by the university for so long.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
You have three kids, Togo, Yeah, yeahs terrible. I'm sure.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
I'm sure Kanda will be all over that just a minute.
And Jason won't tell us more about how he met
Amy Robot or whatever her name is, who happened to
be standing near Roberts in your Yes, but no one
cares about him the Entertainment Reporting his next into Entertainer Report,
and he's.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
On the Freas Show.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Three former backup dancers for Lizzo have dropped their claims
that the singer fat shamed them. Remember the three dancers,
Arianna Davis, Noel Rodriguez, and Crystal Williams made the claims
in twenty twenty three, but those were denied by eighteen
witnesses in sworn declarations submitted to the court. Ariana was
fired because she made an unauthorized recording of Lizzo at

(35:24):
a dancer meeting and sent it to another dancer, Crystal
what I mentioned earlier, who was no longer working for Lizzo.
The three have also accused Lozzo of forcing them to
go to nude shows in Amsterdam and Paris.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Like the performers were nude, they weren't nude.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
They said that they also had to interact with sex
performers during those shows, Like, again, they weren't nude, but
it was one of those sex shows.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
If you've been to Amsterdam, then you know those exist.

Speaker 4 (35:50):
Lizzo's defense team said they are confident that the singer
will prevail in the case. Speaking of backup dancers, Lady
Gaga's show in Sydney was stop momentary after one of
her dancers his name is Michael, fell off the stage
because it was just pouring rain. She was singing Garden
of Eden and he slipped right off the end of
the stage and she immediately stopped to check on him,

(36:12):
told the crowd he was fine, But then she stopped
the show for like five minutes so her dancers could
go in the back.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
And get shoes with a better grip on them.

Speaker 4 (36:20):
That is or was her final show of twenty twenty five,
and then he later shared on Instagram that he was
fine and thanked the fans for checking on him. And lastly,
my mom asked me over the weekend if Jason had
made it to jingle Ball, and I got the most
iconic screenshot of his location at Madison Square Garden. His
little like you know when you do find my friends,

(36:40):
It was very iconic. I'm like, oh, it looks like
he made it there. The performances were amazing. I know,
you usually can't watch all of them. Nelly went from
gushing about Ashantee backstage to the most nostalgic set. I mean,
I don't think. I think he did almost every single
hit that you would want to hear. Ed Sheeran did
something pretty cool. He made all the elements to one
of his songs live on stage. I mean, he's just

(37:02):
so talented in that way. And mister Conan Gray kicked
off his set calling out his maniac ex with a
track of the same name from his twenty twenty album
It's called Kid Crow, and he literally calls out this
ex for spreading lies and calling him a psychopath, all
while trying to get back with him. By the way,
his song Vodka Cranberry is like replay over and over

(37:24):
in my house.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
It is so good if you've not heard that.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
And I did one of the headlines from jingle Ball
that people were reporting on literally TJ newly engaged. TJ
Holmes and Amy were the right. So people were Yeah,
people were excited that they were there. And they were
there with their little blended family.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Yea, they were so cute. They're all dressed up. Yeah,
I love them and Rob or was there two a man?
And also those two did right now they're engaged and
h just still a man today.

Speaker 14 (37:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
Actually barreled over Robert Demiroz to go meet those two.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
And I said, steal the man you want.

Speaker 13 (38:00):
What I said, don't let a marriage stop you man exactly. Jason,
you are crazy.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
What did you say?

Speaker 5 (38:04):
Don't let your husband get in the way of your
actual man.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Don't let your boyfriends. Yeah, but they were both married.

Speaker 4 (38:16):

You're like, yeah, I was in some locker room and
it was like there was like championship trophies everywhere, and
I'm like, oh, that was just a Miami heat locker room.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
You were just in answer, Okay, then you have no appreciation?

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Was that by their trophy? It took a picture with that.
You don't even know what it was?

Speaker 2 (39:12):

It is the Fred Show one O three five Kiss FM,

(40:08):
Chicago's number one hit music stage. So let's do a
holiday wish. This is one of our favorite things that
we get to do here. We've been doing it for
a number of years on the Fred Show, and it's
even better now that we get to team up with
Amy Weather right from one hundred truck creg Mama Amy
is here.

Speaker 11 (40:21):
I love it.

Speaker 15 (40:22):
I love it.

Speaker 11 (40:23):
It's that time of year and we've got, you know,
we got a lot of opportunity to grant holiday wishes.
Some are really joyful and some are just for folks
that just need to be with family. They just need
to get some stability and see the hope.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
And the light, and we're going to get to do
that today.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
So I'm excited about it.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Fred.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, I mean I think I think for the holidays,
you know, it's joyful for a lot of people, but
that I think seeing other people's joy sometimes reminds people
of things that are happening that aren't as happy. And
that's where we come in with Amy Wetheright and her
big bag of money. Yeah, let's talk to April. Good morning, April,
how are you?

Speaker 11 (40:58):
I'm good?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
How are you well?

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Become to the show.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
I want you to say aha to my friend Amy
Witherright from one one hundred truck Rex. She's here with
us as well.

Speaker 15 (41:05):
Good morning, Hi Amy.

Speaker 11 (41:06):
Hey, hey hey April. We got your note and it
sounds like your family has had a lot, a lot
to deal with over the years.

Speaker 3 (41:14):
Would you mind if I read this note? I know
it's emotional, but would you mind?

Speaker 11 (41:18):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
This is what she wrote to us. It says, dear
Fred Show and Amy. This year, my holiday wish is
for my family to go on a trip together. I
don't normally do things like this, and it's hard for
me to write, but seven years ago we lost our
son to suicide. Nathan was the oldest of my children,
and you would have never thought that he was sad
or depressed because he was the happiest young man you
ever met. He loved his family so much and loved

(41:40):
doing things with his brothers and sister. But you know
what they say, sometimes the happiest people are the ones
that you have to worry about. To be completely honest,
everyone is still in shock, and Nathan leaving us has
left me in some sort of days. You could say
we used to take family trips, but any kind of
enjoyment makes me feel guilty because it's not fair to Nathan,
and we've not been able to go since he passed

(42:01):
seven years ago. I don't really care where we go.
I just want everyone under one roof, enjoying time together
like we used to. And I appreciate you taking the
time to read this. Thank you so much, April. I
wish First of all, I'm so sorry for your loss,
and yeah, unfortunately, I think a lot of people listening
and people on this show can not only sympathize with this,
but empathize with this. But you know, to lose the

(42:24):
sun is really it's unspeakable, and I'm so sorry, thank.

Speaker 10 (42:28):
You, thank you?

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Yeah crushing.

Speaker 11 (42:32):
How big is your family right now?

Speaker 1 (42:35):
There are five of us.

Speaker 14 (42:36):
It's my five kids and my husband. I didn't give
birth to all of them. I adopted my step children
like a year after that had happened. So yeah, we're
a blended family. But you know we're all just.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
One big family.

Speaker 11 (42:51):
Yeah. Blended families are fantastic.

Speaker 2 (42:54):
When you think about this, I mean, you say it
doesn't matter where you go, April, but really, what would
be an amazing trip for you guys to take?

Speaker 14 (43:00):
I honestly don't care anywhere.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
By water like the beach?

Speaker 14 (43:06):
Yeah yeah, I mean anywhere within driving.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
One of my sons that.

Speaker 14 (43:10):
I adopted, he's autistic, and you know he will not
get on a plane.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
So anywhere within driving? Oh yeah, how long can he
make it in the car?

Speaker 11 (43:19):
Can he drive all the way down to the UH
to Florida to UHA or something like that? Oh?

Speaker 3 (43:25):
He he can care less.

Speaker 12 (43:28):
Anywhere?

Speaker 10 (43:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 11 (43:31):
I think then on behalf of one eight.

Speaker 10 (43:32):
Hundred truck work.

Speaker 11 (43:33):
We've got to give you enough money to send you
on a really great family vacation. And Fred, I mean
a thousand dollars you're gonna cut it. I mean, he's
not going to get it there, not with five not
with five.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
Kids and a husband. You got seven of y'all.

Speaker 11 (43:47):
So one eight hundred truck wreck's going to make your
holiday wish come true.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
With five thousand dollars, fis, everybody gets even.

Speaker 12 (44:00):
On this.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (44:06):
That's a lot of McDonald's, a lot of extra value looks.

Speaker 14 (44:12):
I always look for signs you know that Nathan was
with us, and this is definitely, you know, a sign
that you know he sent you guys to do this.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
That's very in fact. You know, Caitlyn just gave me
a book about that, so I don't know. Maybe it's true,
but I'm so sorry for your last.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
But this is a happy thing. You're going to have
an amazing trip.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Take the five thousand dollars and one hundred truck wreck
and go some place fun together as a family, because
I really think that's what Nathan would want for you guys.

Speaker 14 (44:43):
Thank you, Yes he would, Oh my gosh, yes he would.

Speaker 1 (44:48):
You please?

Speaker 3 (44:50):
Oh yes, of course send us pictures. Hey, thank you
so much. April.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Let me put you in a hohod, make sure we
have all your info, and honestly, have a great holiday
and a great trip.

Speaker 11 (44:59):
Thank you so much.

call them blogs. Paulina, Yes, go right ahead, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
So much, dear blog. Something that's been weighing heavy at
my heart and like my mind lately.

Speaker 7 (46:29):
Is that children these days, they don't experience a lot
of things that we did growing up.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
We know that already and that's not new, it's not
lost on me.

Speaker 7 (46:38):
But one thing that I don't like, I have an
issue with is not knowing how to write cursive.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
Heart this morning, it's really heavy, like give your kid
the gift of cursive?

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Well, I like, please like do like Because here's the thing.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
My mom actually made a comment or maybe somebody else
did to recently that because she works in a school
and a lot of times the kids would have to
come in and sign paperwork and this is sad, but
they don't know how to sign their name. And that
got me thinking, well, you don't know how to write,
but then you don't know how to write cursive because
when you sign a signature, isn't it typically cursive?

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Is that how you guys were taught if you sign
if you have.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
A print signature, then you are a serial killer, or
you're a child I don't know mature is print, or
you're my niece Polly who's four exactly.

Speaker 7 (47:29):
Yes, why are like twelve, thirteen, sixteen year olds not
signing their name? Like to me, I thought that was
just something that you grow up kind of learning. And
that really shook me to my.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
They don't teach cursive it. I don't think they Okay,
seven for a while.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
No, I'm looking it up. It says twenty ten.

Speaker 7 (47:44):
I don't know if it's banned, but like it got
it stopped because of common Core, which I don't know
what that is.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
I don't even like math, I think, right, so what
is mal?

Speaker 3 (47:52):
I think common but it might be it might be
for the reaching and I don't know.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah, it's common core something and.

Speaker 6 (47:59):
Me too.

Speaker 7 (48:00):
And they're not teaching kids cursive, which bothers me because
like I have a child who's almost two, and I'm
like starting to like look at schools. I know I'm
a little crazy whatever, but I want her to go
to a school where honestly a Caveman schoolt this point,
like I want her to use her hands and figure
things out. I don't want iPads, and I truly like
parents don't have me, don't don't don't fight me. I
don't want to give my kid an iPad unless like
we absolutely have to. You know, I'm talking about like

(48:21):
the long plane rides, all of that car rides, like
long car rides. I'll do that, but I'm not just
gonna give it to her like on a Tuesday afternoon
when she's two years old, just because like I.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Don't care get school.

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Looking at Harvard online.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
Well I've worn to Harvard.

Speaker 7 (48:34):
You guys want my kids a genius because yeah, my
kid is like really smart for almost two. Like I'm sorry,
I'm a big flex on your It's like if my
kids smart.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Well, remember during the draft recently, I think that there
was a young kid who didn't know how to sign
his like NFL contract like you know where literally just says,
I sign your name here. And I think he was
had to ask for help because he's a never signed
a contract before.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
But b they don't like know what to do, which
is crazy. It is crazy.

Speaker 7 (48:59):
I feel like basic life skills, like I don't know
how to boil an eggtills like twenty five years old.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
I admit that, right, they had a basic lisk. I
think I should be the boiling egg, Like I really
learned that.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Yes for that.

Speaker 7 (49:11):
Yeah, now I'm sure all the technology we can boil eggs,
it probably does. But like my whole point is, like
I just want my kid to like use I don't know,
like her brain and critical thinking skills and like learn
how to write her name or at least sign her
name when she's twenty years old going to Harvard, Like.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
I want her to be able to sign her name.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Well, people over here, you know, we learned. I think
I brought this up before and you guys didn't know
what I was talking about. But I'm not that much
older than you guys.

Speaker 3 (49:35):
But we had print.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Of course, we learned how to write in print, and
then we had Danelion, which was which was one step between.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
I looked up with the one night in New Orleans.
She was incredible. No, I worked with her. It's ut labert.

Speaker 6 (49:53):
No.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
No, it was a mixed but it was like the
step between print and curse uve. It was print, but
it had like the little endings on it. And then
you went from Danelion to cursive because you like basically,
you learn how to write each cursive word in cursive
without connecting them. That was Danelion and then and then
you had But here's the thing. The very second that
somebody stopped policing cursive, I started writing in print. And

(50:18):
now I write like an architect. But the problem is,
it takes me a very long time to write something.
I bet I wish that I had sort of paid
more to I don't know, kept up catchered my cursive
because like it's so much faster to write in cursive
than this then print, and I write in print, and
so I wish I didn't. But common Core are the

(50:39):
learning standards, not just now I remember them.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
However, whatever that is no cursive.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
Montossori school, someone said, could send them there. Some some
Catholic schools still teach it.

Speaker 3 (50:49):
I guess. I'm sure they teach a lot of things. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
You're right though they don't. I don't think it's a
common thing anymore. And I think it because where they
assume that people just don't have to write anything anymore,
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 (51:03):
I know we live in a very digital world, but
I think again, like boil an egg, write in cursive,
two things that we just got to teach our kids.
And I'm gonna start now. Gigi's gonna learn how to
write her autographs and eggs, make my eggs, make mommy
your eggs.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Age to yeah, I know, I get it. I get
Mommy a beer, and that you're more upset about the egg.

Speaker 13 (51:22):
Thing I am, because I'm like worried, like why I
don't know how to boil the egg specifically.

Speaker 5 (51:26):
But like how long are you supposed to boil it?
Like I didn't know I look at but like you
could probably boil it too much.

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Oh yeah, I'm sure you can't.

Speaker 2 (51:35):
Honestly, if you gave me a pot of water and
a bunch of eggs, I don't I could probably figure
it out, but it would take it like a little
trial and error, and.

Speaker 3 (51:42):
Who knew about the ice path after and to get
the shells off easther. This is not people are just
with the original program, you know, like James Brown on
the phone right now, I got a little like a
little machine for now, And what do I need that for?

Speaker 1 (52:01):
You need to know, bro, what if the machine is broken?

Speaker 6 (52:04):
Then?

Speaker 3 (52:04):
I guess I didn't realize Deviled eggs were such a
staple of survival. Well, I don't have mail. I got
to make that too. Ever, been left waiting by the phone.
It's the Fred Show. Hey Jordan, Yeah, good morning, welcome
to the show. It's waiting by the phone, trying to
figure out why this woman Rachel is not calling you.

(52:28):
We need to know though, how did you, guys meet?
Tell us about any dates you've been on, and then
where things are now?

Speaker 10 (52:34):
Yeah, well things are not good now. She's not getting
back to me. But we met out at a bar
actually about drinking, having fun. I thought she was cute.
I asked for her number, she gave it to me.
I hit her up the next day and reached out about,
you know, going out and grabbing some drinks, and she
said yes and it was.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
All good.

Speaker 10 (52:56):
But since then I just haven't been able to get
in touch with her and I have no idea why.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
Okay, you met in the wild and we talked about
this all the time on waiting by the phone. It's
pretty rare these days that people approach each other and
talk in person and then they can kind of vibe check.
Because the dating apps you don't really know. You might match,
you might chat but then in person it could be different.
But in this case, you kind of everybody knew what
they were getting into. So then when you go on
the date, you're thinking, I got a little bit of

(53:22):
a head start here, and you felt that there was
good chemistry on that date as well, so you're surprised
that she's not interested in another date.

Speaker 10 (53:31):
Yeah, yeah, we hit it off. The vibe check went
well when we met, and we have drinks and laughed
and had a good date. But I don't I have
no idea what happened. She's just not responding. I just
I've met a lots of words. Really, I don't know
what happened.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Well, allow us to put your mind a decent because well,
we'll give Rachel a call. You'll be on the phone,
and I don't want you to say anything right at first.
We'll try and get some information for you. At some
point you're welcome to jump in. And the hope is
always And it doesn't happen very often. It has happened
a few times. I think I can count on less
than two hands a number of times in all these years.
But it does occasionally happen where we're able to sort

(54:07):
of figure out what's up and set you guys up
on another date.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
And that's our hope here. All right, Yeah, no, I
appreciate it.

Speaker 10 (54:14):
Sounds great.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
Hey, Jordan, Yeah, welcome back.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Let's call this woman Rachel, who you met out in
person at a bar, asked her out, who got her number,
asked her out, You guys went out for drinks later.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
You thought the date went well.

Speaker 2 (54:26):
You walked away from the date thinking this is this
is great, everything's going very well, and you'll see her again.
So you reached out to try and set up what
I guess would be a second formal date. She has
not responded to you. You feel as though you're being ghosted.
You would like to know what's up.

Speaker 10 (54:40):
Yeah, that's all i'd like.

Speaker 3 (54:41):
All right, let's call her now. Good luck, Jordan, thank you?

Speaker 1 (54:52):
Hello. Hi?

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Is this Rachel?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
She Hey Rachel, good morning. My name is Fred and
I'm calling from the Fred Show of the Morning Show.
The whole crew is here, 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.
You can hang up any time, but can we chat
for a couple of minutes about something.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
I don't I mean I'll do it.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
I'm okay, so nervous but okay, I mean yeah, in fairness,
I would wonder what was coming next to But we're
calling on behalf of a guy named Jordan, who you
met in Okay, you know Jordan. You guys met in
person and then went on a date. So he called
us and he told us this story about how you met.
And he says that you guys went on a great
date and he felt that the chemistry was there. And

(55:37):
I'm paraphrasing here, but he was expecting that he would
see you again. He says, he's reached out for another date.
You're not responding, so that there's a disconnect here because
it sounds like you didn't have a good time.

Speaker 10 (55:46):
What happened, Well, he insulted me.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
I won my entire career.

Speaker 3 (55:51):
Actually he insulted you. Yes, how did he insult you?

Speaker 1 (55:56):
I'm a teacher and while we're getting to.

Speaker 14 (55:59):
Know each other on a day, he asked me what
I did. But his response is what get it?

Speaker 13 (56:05):
Like?

Speaker 14 (56:05):
He starts laughing and says, what's that saying?

Speaker 1 (56:09):
Again? Those who can do those who can't teach?

Speaker 9 (56:13):
Right?

Speaker 3 (56:14):
Oh, I mean yeah, you don't say that to a teacher, like, yeah,
why would you say Why would you say that to
someone with whom you're trying to make a good impression.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Hey, that thing you do?

Speaker 7 (56:26):
You know?

Speaker 3 (56:26):
Like, yeah, the whole profession's kind of whack.

Speaker 13 (56:29):
You know, I've never heard people disc teachers like this
is new for me, and that's so wild.

Speaker 1 (56:33):
You are you got to be a real weirdo to
do that.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
Yeah, that's very insulting. Fred.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
It's like when people the dis radio. You've said on
dates before.

Speaker 3 (56:42):
I don't listen to the radio.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
I'm like, well, that's that's cool, because I'm paying for
this and with the money that I made from the
thing you don't use. And then, by the way, when
you call me a month later asked me for Taylor
Swift tickets, I guess. I guess radio is not so
bad after it lay right, or like when I take
you on another date or a trip or something, it's
oh and buy you a after whatever. Yeah, all that
money is from that thing that you don't do. Okay,

(57:05):
let me bring Jordan in.

Speaker 3 (57:06):
Jordan.

Speaker 2 (57:07):
And I'm sorry Rachel that I forgot to tell you
that Jordan is here. I'm very forgetful. Maybe maybe you
saw that one coming. But uh, why Jordan, would you
say something like that? And then why are you calling us? Like,
if you say a thing like that to someone, you
have to know that that's a possibility that you insulted.
That there is a possibility that you insulted that person.

Speaker 10 (57:26):
Well, I mean, that's kind of a dumb reason to
not call somebody back.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
A dumb reason.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
What do you do?

Speaker 3 (57:34):
I work in finance. You know what I heard? Finance
people they only work with other people's money because they
don't have their.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
Own cool style.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
Yeah, I hear all he wears a patagony vest. And
and you know, I don't know. I mean, like, would
you appreciate being generalized in a negative way?

Speaker 10 (57:50):
I know that wasn't even a negative way. Like I'm
not the one that came up with the saying like
that's a real saying. I was just saying it, like, well,
there are a lot of real sayings.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
It doesn't make them true, and it also doesn't mean
that it applies to everyone or anyone. And it also
doesn't mean that it's something that you say to a teacher.

Speaker 1 (58:05):
You never had a teacher, bro, That's what I'm so lost, Like,
why would you diss a teacher.

Speaker 10 (58:10):
No, I think it's super cute.

Speaker 3 (58:12):
So she's a teacher.

Speaker 11 (58:13):
Cute, Oh wow, cute?

Speaker 1 (58:17):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (58:18):
Yeah, it's very rude because I mean, I don't think
I have to explain it, Kiki. But it's like, I
think there are people out there saying, well, you're teaching
other people. If you're so good at teaching other people
how to do something, then why aren't you doing it?
But in many cases, people have a gift of being
able to instill knowledge and other people and they are
good at it, and they're choosing to help the next
generation learn or be whatever. So I think that's a

(58:40):
stupid thing to say, especially to someone who's proud to
be a teacher, as Rachel is. Why would you diss
the profession of a person with whom you're trying to
make a good impression and go on romantic dates with.

Speaker 10 (58:51):
Well, No, I wasn't even trying to diss her, like I.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Said, I mean, what were you trying to.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Say that that?

Speaker 10 (58:57):
Oh, I was just saying, you know, that's.

Speaker 14 (58:59):
Like you know, you know, I'm just reiterating saying I
heard that you know, people that can't do teach, and
you know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (59:08):
So you're saying to her that she can't do whatever
it is that she teaches, that she's incapable of, like
achieving more. It's that's not a nice thing to say,
and you don't even know, you don't know enough about
her to even be able to say something like that.
It's an insult.

Speaker 10 (59:19):
Oh, it's listened. I think it's what she does is adorable.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
I give Oh, here we go.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
You're making God, there's a self awareness issue here because
you clearly don't realize that the things that you're saying
are not helping your cause.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
Adorable.

Speaker 10 (59:40):
I'm telling her that it's it's like, it's a cool thing.

Speaker 11 (59:43):
You know.

Speaker 10 (59:43):
I don't know what do you want me to do?

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Like I don't know what you want to Okay.

Speaker 2 (59:49):
Just because he's not getting it, Like she's obviously passionate
about her job and cares about it. So I would
only say really nice, enabling, positive things about you know,
how much you admired teachers, or how much teachers have
made a difference in your life, or or you know
how it's a selfless job, or thank you for doing that.
Many of the things that that people should be saying.
But anyway, you didn't do it. You didn't do that,

(01:00:10):
did you, Rachel? Would you let you go out with
Jordan again? I know the answer, but I'll ask the question.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
I'm going to say now, yeah, yeah, Well, thank you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
For being a teacher. By the way, we have a
lot of teachers who listen. We've all been influenced by teachers.
We appreciate what you guys do. The fact that he
doesn't realize what he said was a dis is confounding
to me. But anyway, Jordan is not going to work out.
Good luck out there, man.

Speaker 10 (01:00:32):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
Karin's entertainment report is on The Fread Show.

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
As Taylor Swift's historic eras tour came to an end,
the singer saved one last unforgettable moment for the people
who helped make it happen. Behind the scenes, she gathered
her crew and casually delivered news that stopped the room cold,
which we saw in the first two episodes of her
docu series on Disney Plus, nearly one hundred and ninety
seven million in bonuses was being handed out as a

(01:00:58):
thank you, So she actually in the documentary you see
her handwrite.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
She says it took her a couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
All the notes and then she whacked sealed every single bonus.
She organized it, and she asked Cam, one of her dancers,
to read the note out loud and how much you
know money it was, and they bleeped out the number.
But people are thinking that the dancers got like seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars each as a bonus and yeah,
and and people were reacting like that, like one guy

(01:01:26):
said he was about to pass out. Other people dropped
to the floor. I mean, that's life changing money. The truckers,
I know, got it. I'm sure they got different amounts
because I think the dancers got a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
But I got one hundred grand they got or something.
I but it made them made two billion dollars. Yes,
And of course she didn't make all that right. A
lot of mouse to feed there, but I mean that's
the right thing to.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Do, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
But it's just I love the internet because you know,
the e clip was posted and it was a sweet
moment and people.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Were like, you do know she gets tax breaks for that,
and like it.

Speaker 7 (01:01:56):
Was just.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
Don't be easily cool to do it, like I mean,
and they said. The dancers were like, this is not
We're not used to being treated like this. This is
not normal, So don't take that away from what she
was doing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:08):
Other parts of the documentary that really got me when
she was talking about that terrorist attack in Vienna that
they were able to, you know, throw nothing happened, thank goodness.
Also talking about how she privately before one of the shows,
met with the victims of the fatal stabbing of those
little girls who were in that dance class in England,
and she just came out of that meeting just balling

(01:02:30):
and just saying, you know, I have to hide this
when I'm with them, and but I just you know.

Speaker 16 (01:02:34):
It breaks her heart. So that was the most too
powerful moments for me. What did you think, Jason, Yeah,
I think to go off that. I think it was
just crazy to see like behind the scenes how she's
because we're always like she's always so happy and like
into it and whatever, and to see like she actually say,
I have like pep talks with herself like Okay, this
is really heavy, but when I go up on stage
to do the show, like no one needs to live
with the clocket. I need to be like in it,

(01:02:55):
like no one's going to be able to sense like
a shift of energy. Yeah, Like she actually has to
tell herself that. And I always thought it was just.

Speaker 5 (01:03:01):
Innate in her like but like she's not a machine,
but she actually, you know, does have to reinforce you know,
positive energy, which was just crazy for Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
See, she described it as like being the captain of
a plane and saying, like, I can't be unsteady or
nervous about something, the turbulence that's to come. I have
to say nothing we haven't seen before. You know, we're
gonna have a smooth landing, even if that's not the case.
And the first shows after that terrorist possible attack, you know,
she wanted to have everyone feel safe and hide that
she wasn't so I thought it was the first two

(01:03:31):
episodes were really well done. If you saw actress Kate
Winslet's name trending on social and maybe because during a
recent interview, she said that Eminem asked her to shave
his butt while they were doing SNL together back in
two thousand and four. She told Graham Norton, this is
a story I've never told Emanam asked me to shave
his bottom. Because she's British, she said. She told him,

(01:03:51):
I'm sorry, I don't do personal grooming. I'm not going
to go in with a bic and get your crack love.
And that was literally the interaction. And that was the
night that she hosting debuts. She says, I mean she's
never been back, said so, I don't know if that
scared her. But you know Eminem before he got sober,
and I don't know if he was sober on that time,
but he was kind of like wild minute.

Speaker 1 (01:04:09):
Yeah, he was a menace and I think he was
probably just doing that to get a rise out of her.

Speaker 4 (01:04:14):
But it was very funny and she's a funny person
to do it with because she was like, no, love,
I don't I don't shape butts, but there you go.
And lastly, Jackson Wu was at our iHeartRadio jingle Ball
in New York at Madison Square Garden. I have an
epic photo of Jason's little Find my Friend's icon right
there over the weekend, and he was talking about adjusting

(01:04:34):
to all of his K pop demon Hunter's fame. He said,
two days ago, I performed Soda Pop in front of
Leonardo DiCaprio.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
He was like, I was at an event.

Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
He was an honoree, and he said that he knew
the song, which is crazy, like, why does Leonardo DiCaprio
know that?

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Kids love?

Speaker 10 (01:04:53):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:04:54):
I love that song our own shell.

Speaker 4 (01:04:56):
He loves the song Soda Pan, so I mean, I
think people and Golden is a banger as well from that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:00):
So well, if you're a parent, you're probably forced to
love it because you have to hear it over and
over again.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Yeah, but Leo is it so that's why you know?

Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
Yeah, puzzle young people, right, you.

Speaker 1 (01:05:12):
Know, twenty year old for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
And they were trying to ask him are the sage
boys going to get their own film? He was kind
of coy about it, but I'm sure they definitely could.
I mean, people love that and by the way, to
watch all of the amazing performances Nelly Jesse, Murph Ed Sheeran,
it was amazing. iHeartRadio is partnering with ABC to bring
the iHeart Radio jingle Ball Tour to even more fans

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
It's Kiki's Court, Rise, honorable ow kik Alik is here,
your honor. Take it away?

Speaker 13 (01:12:58):
Please, all right, let's get into the court room. The
gavel has been hit, it says Kiki. Am I wrong
for ruining Christmas because I won't travel with a newborn.
I gave birth six weeks ago after a rough delivery.
I'm still healing and have two other kids, five and three.
My mother in law insists that everyone travels six hours

(01:13:18):
to her house for Christmas every year, and we've taken
the drive year after year. However, this year I said
no because I'm dragging a new I don't want to
drag a newborn and two small kids across state lines
during the flow season. My husband backed me up and
offered that we do a family FaceTime call on Christmas

(01:13:39):
morning instead.

Speaker 1 (01:13:41):
Well, my mother in law lost it.

Speaker 13 (01:13:42):
She said I'm being lazy and dramatic and accused me
of using the baby to control her son. Then she
sent a family group text saying Christmas was basically canceled
because some people refuse to make sacrifices. Now half of
the family is mad at me and telling me just
to deal with it for one day. And my mother
in law says I stole her Christmas and her grandkids.
Am I wrong?

Speaker 3 (01:14:04):
I mean, I have a lot of thoughts with Kiki, true, and.

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
You know, as the childless aunt.

Speaker 13 (01:14:11):
I want to give grace to the mother in law
who probably looks forward to making memories with her grandkids
every year, like every holiday, I look forward to being
around my nephews. I look forward to it. I'm so
excited I want to give I want to give grace
to the mother in law. Right, But after that, what
you have to learn as an adult is that people

(01:14:31):
are allowed to set boundaries and make decisions for their families,
and postpartum is real.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
And if she doesn't feel like attending this year, give
her this year.

Speaker 13 (01:14:41):
Hopefully she doesn't make this a new tradition where you
never see your grandkids because you threw a fit. So
it's just like, I understand the frustration of the grandparents,
and you know, traditions are being you know broken in
their opinion. But this lady is going through postpartum. So
if she doesn't want to attend this year.

Speaker 1 (01:14:58):
Give her that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
That's my I mean, in the mom in the room,
I assume you have no dispute there.

Speaker 1 (01:15:06):
I can't think of one.

Speaker 7 (01:15:07):
And if she if she never wants to go back
to see her mother in law, I also wouldn't be
mad at that either.

Speaker 1 (01:15:11):
Like truly, no, not in a bad way, but like
she's got three kids.

Speaker 7 (01:15:14):
She gotta drag around Like I'm barely getting around with
one kid right in my little Nissan, Like it is
a lot of work to get around town with the kid,
So now pack up three kids, go across the state lines. No,
And like, yes, she's six weeks postpartum, she's in a diaper.
Like it's a lot, I'm serious, just a lot going
on in her world. And she does not have to
please anybody truly ever ever, but like especially for the
holiday season and Christmas, and if mother in law feels

(01:15:36):
like she wants to see grandkids and do these memories,
like maybe they could work something out or mother in
law comes over or something.

Speaker 1 (01:15:42):
Maybe that's a big maybe. I don't I don't know
the situation. I don't. Right, they want to talk about
how your house not clean? That's a big minute.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
She sounds the kind of woman who would do that.

Speaker 2 (01:15:53):
Yeah, should be sound great, No, eight, one, O three
five You guys at the jerry, I'm sure people have
something to say about this. I mean my mom, if
she listening, she would say, my nieces are three and five,
and it's like she wants my sister to load them
up and bring them to And my sister does it
a couple of times a year.

Speaker 3 (01:16:08):
I know, it's a lot of work.

Speaker 2 (01:16:09):
Granted, my mom did it with us, so it's one
of those things where it's like, you know, grandmas want
to see their grandkids and and my mom does travel
to Dallas and awful lot to see them. So it's
not like she doesn't pull her weight. My sister would
tell you, well, it's a lot of work to bring
these kids around. Well, yeah, I mean, but it's also
part of being a family. The thing for me is,

(01:16:30):
first of all, this is the third kid under five,
was it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
The second thing is really the proximity to birth. Like, look,
we're talking about six weeks an infant were newborn. I mean,
that's totally unreasonable to ask. Maybe in a year or two,
but I don't know why isn't mother in law jumping
to gold to where they are.

Speaker 13 (01:16:49):
Well, she might have offered that, but I don't think
that this daughter in law once are there either, because
think about it, if I'm in a diaper, it's probably
miss saying I'm going through postpartum, I had little kids.
I don't necessarily want to host my in laws either, right,
I just want a year off to get my mind right,
get my body right, and raise.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
These kids and then maybe we can pick up the
tradition next year.

Speaker 2 (01:17:09):
If mother in law's thrown out a bunch of scenarios
that require very little from new mom, then I might say, okay,
is there no compromise here, you know, if she's if
she's saying, I'll fly to you, I'll stay in a hotel,
I'll stay out of your way. I just want to
see my grandkids on Christmas or near Christmas or whatever,
and she's saying no, no, No. The problem is, I
think sometimes the personalities of these very eager mom grandmothers

(01:17:35):
can be off putting in itself. You know, it can
come off very aggressive when they have the best in
Like my mom, I love her to death. She has
the absolute best intention, but she pushes and you know,
she and my sister are the same woman in many ways.
So it's like you're pushing you and you wouldn't like
to be you know what I mean. So it's like
you're getting a nobe to set boundaries. But I know

(01:17:57):
you and you see that as rejection, but yet you
have the best intention. You just want to be a
part of their lives. I get all of that for me,
though it's six weeks ago you had a baby. No,
they're not going to travel to you.

Speaker 6 (01:18:09):
No. No.

Speaker 13 (01:18:10):
I would love to hear from the thirteen because I
struggled with this being the only girl in my family.
I don't have kids, my brothers have the kids. But
I feel like you're so used to your family tradition,
like we always get together on this day. How dare
you have to go to your other in law? You know, like,
I don't want to share you. I don't want to
share the family. So it's hard, but you have to
just be okay with it because people are allowed to

(01:18:31):
set boundaries.

Speaker 11 (01:18:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
Well, and you know that there was if you've been
listening for a little while years ago, there was a
it was a rough transition in our house. And my
sister said, we're not coming for Christmas anymore or Thanksgiving
because we want to have our own traditions in our
own home.

Speaker 1 (01:18:47):
And that was hard.

Speaker 3 (01:18:47):
And it wasn't because she was wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
It was hard because our family is very close that
we're used to doing things a certain way for a
long time, and that included when we were young and
our grandparents and the whole thing. So we're breaking a
multi generation tradition of being together on Christmas and as
and people have said, why don't you go to Dallas?

Speaker 3 (01:19:06):
I wouldn't say we were invited, Like, honestly, I don't.
I don't think that's I don't think that's even an
option because and I think I don't think it's a
lack of life.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
I think I think she's drawing a firm boundary. Now,
is that a boundary that I would draw that firmly? No,
I would give a little more than my sister is
because she is getting a lot too, you know what
I mean. But like, because that's just getting on a
plane and go there and stay in a hotel. It's like,
I'm not entirely sure we were included. So so you know,

(01:19:37):
I think I do think there's give and take. I
think I think sometimes, you know, the burden is on
the parents to provide opportunities for the grandparents, and then
the grandparents. I think sometimes I have to show grace
to the kids when you know it. But yeah, it's
it's a very hard thing.

Speaker 3 (01:19:53):
Family.

Speaker 2 (01:19:53):
Family could become very complicated, even when there's a lot
of love. Hey, Dominique, Hi, Hi, so do you have
a new bre congratulations by the way, thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:20:03):
And so you hear this scenario where.

Speaker 2 (01:20:05):
You've got a and I wonder if the mother in
law because you hear mother in law and then you
automatically like feel this disconnect, right, but not necessarily that.
But here's this woman, she really wants everyone together on Christmas,
and her daughter in law who just had a baby
six weeks ago saying, nah, is we're not doing this,
and she has two other kids under five, like, I
can't do it right now, and there's there's some tension there.

Speaker 17 (01:20:28):
What do you think, Yeah, I have a three month old,
I have a three year old, and if the first
six months are so hard, especially around like flue season,
RSV season, and the holiday season on top of that,
the mom and her family should be at home with
her kids, her young ones.

Speaker 13 (01:20:46):
This is like.

Speaker 17 (01:20:46):
Primetime Santa Time for them. They should be waking up
on Christmas morning in their home in their pajamas with
their family. And Grandma is now in law or on
the mom's side are now extended family. So it's about
the family that you made, not the family you came from.
Now they need to be prioritized. So Grandma needs to
go to them and at least like be the community

(01:21:08):
that she probably claims that she is, because it takes
a lot of take a tribe to raise kids, especially
during the fluid holiday season.

Speaker 2 (01:21:18):
Yeah, I agree with at minimum, at minimum, what she's
pitching should be things that are easy.

Speaker 1 (01:21:23):
On the MoMA.

Speaker 13 (01:21:24):
And that's so real to say. When you say you
know you are the family. When did you say the
extended family Sidney family. Yeah, hard, but it's.

Speaker 1 (01:21:32):
True, you know true.

Speaker 3 (01:21:34):
And on my parents too.

Speaker 17 (01:21:35):
My my family comes over to my house because it's
about the grandkids. Now, it's not about anybody else. Yeahs
with Christmas and Santa and then a new baby come out.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Yeah about mom and baby.

Speaker 17 (01:21:48):
And the family.

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
Traditions need to change.

Speaker 2 (01:21:50):
I think the harder you push, the less likely you
are to be included in those traditions, and that can
be hard to Dominique.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
Thank you so much. Congratulations again, have a good day.

Speaker 17 (01:21:58):
Thank you so much.

Speaker 11 (01:21:59):
You guys.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Tood you called, Hey Kimmy, good morning. Do it next year, Kimmy, Hey, Kimmy, Kimmy.

Speaker 7 (01:22:06):
I kim.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
Jimmy.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
I just I just picked up the phone. I don't
know what you were saying. You gotta you gotta start over.

Speaker 12 (01:22:15):
Oh I'm sorry. Okay, Well, what I'm saying is that
this lady's in the right. I just popped out a kid,
I got two other toddlers. There ain't no way I
am going six hours with a newborn to Christmas. I
am going to tell my mother in law. I'm sorry,

(01:22:35):
but we're doing this next year. You all go ahead,
everybody else, go ahead, do it. I'm not offended. Please
by all means, go ahead. I'll wait till next year
and I'll see you all next year.

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
Let's face time.

Speaker 3 (01:22:46):
Yeah, Kimmy, thank you so much. I'm really glad you called. No,
that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
It's again six weeks ago. That's uh so we have Kimmy.
Now we have kim Hi, kim How you doing well?
How are you doing great? Kiki's court?

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
What say you?

Speaker 1 (01:23:03):
I when I I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 6 (01:23:05):
When I heard this, this immediately really frustrated me because
I have a not technically newborn vibe a micro premi.

Speaker 1 (01:23:13):
He was born at twenty five weeks.

Speaker 6 (01:23:15):
He was born, you know, back in May, and even
though you know he's still he's like almost seven months,
like it's still newborn kind of status, and any little
cold could send him to the hospital. So the fact
that there's this judgment for you know, wanting to keep her,
the mom safe, the baby safe, is just so frustrating.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
How's your son doing, by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:23:38):
He's really good. He's done a little bit of oxygen.

Speaker 6 (01:23:41):
But you know, he's doing really good, but we have
to be so careful, like they can't bring him around
to anybody sick.

Speaker 1 (01:23:46):
So yeah, I just I fight for the mom in
this situation.

Speaker 3 (01:23:49):
Yeah always.

Speaker 2 (01:23:50):
Yeah, Well, Kim, thank you, have a good day, good
holiday as well, you too. Love you, guys, I love
you too.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
Thanks for listening. Appreciate it. Jackie, Hello, Hi Jaggie. What's
your take? You're the jury, So no, I don't think
that she's wrong at all.

Speaker 15 (01:24:07):
I had a similar situation. I had my daughter's July
second and then my system off wedding was the fifteenth
of July, and she wanted me to go with my daughter,
and I told her no because I just had her,
you know, and same thing. You know, I would be
in a dress, still wearing diaper, so healing, and she

(01:24:27):
was bad, and she thought that I was using that
as an excuse not to go through her wedding. So
I sided with the mom here. She's not wrong at
all whatsoever. Especially the nurse even told us, like before
we left the hospital, she's like, make sure that the
baby doesn't go out, because she's say, see it a
lot of times where you know parents want to take

(01:24:48):
the baby everywhere ends up sick, that ends up back
in the hospital, and especially with ours b being so
like serious, you know where babies do end up on
oxygen and you know that can pass away from that.
I agree with her at whole, you know, because that's
very important as well as a mom to heal and
not you know, like start doing stuff too early, because

(01:25:12):
then you know you're going to have all.

Speaker 3 (01:25:14):
These those cares sure for sure. Yeah, yeah, thank you guys.
Mom here, yeah, g'd you called? Have a good day.

Speaker 2 (01:25:22):
This is a good point on the text, by the way,
And I was thinking about this the other day too.
I think we give too much weight to the actual
date of the holiday. Why does it have to be
twelve twenty five? Get together in January? The kids don't care.
My family celebrated Christmas as early as the first week
of December. If that's when extended family could get together,
I guess, I guess there's it's kind of a mental thing.

(01:25:42):
Everyone else is together on this day, doing this thing,
posting their pictures on Instagra exactly so. But I mean,
you know, I like, yesterday I was at the airport.
I see the airline pilots get on this thing. I'm like,
you know a lot of these guys are going to
have to work on Christmas, Christmas Eve, I'm sure that
they have kids. And it's like, well, we'll just do
it when I get back, we'll do it the day
before or for your friends, right right, because you're as

(01:26:03):
responder exactly. He's not a hobby's a firefighter.

Speaker 1 (01:26:06):
I'm on the radio. You're my first so clear, this
isn't off on Christmas. The Paulina so.

Speaker 2 (01:26:13):
The first person I call when I need something, So,
you know, fire in the house, Paulina. You know I'm
joking on something. Paulina. Hey, Teresa, Hey.

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
Hi Teresa.

Speaker 2 (01:26:25):
So Kiki's Court basically, we have a situation where a
mother in law wants her daughter in law and her
grandkids at Christmas, but she just gave birth six weeks
ago and she's saying no, and she's getting guilted for that.

Speaker 17 (01:26:37):
I think she has ever right to say.

Speaker 18 (01:26:38):
You know, I gave birth my daughter, who's going to
be eighteen December twenty first had to get released from
the hospital early because both sides of my family still
expected me to host, and I did. Wow, this mom
should be empowered and stay home.

Speaker 7 (01:26:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:26:55):
Wow, I think my mom would tell you the same thing.
She hosted Thanksgiving. I think she had me the next day,
but she didn't know I was a I was early.
But yeah, I think the expectation was or maybe it
was maybe was it. I don't remember one of the case.
Maybe people have expectations and oh wow, crazy, that is nuts.
And now it's weird that you still won't let them
come eighteen years later. But that's that's a whole different thing.

(01:27:18):
You definitely won't let them come.

Speaker 3 (01:27:19):
So there it is.

Speaker 18 (01:27:22):
My mother in love hosts now and she's amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:27:24):
There you go, Theresa, thank you, have a good day,
Mary Christmas. I don't think there's I'm looking at all
these texts. There's not one countertake here. There's not one
person going well.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
I was looking for a boomer that would like stand
on business again.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Where's my mom? She's in a sleep still, but she'll
text in and she'll think it's me, but it's to everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:27:47):
Yeah I did it, baby, I'm a met.

Speaker 2 (01:27:55):
I promise you whenever the moment this is heard in Arizona,
which is going to be some three or four hours
from now, I'm going to get a call.

Speaker 1 (01:28:02):
But you know, I'm awesome.

Speaker 13 (01:28:04):
Imbody your sister here again it comes Fress Moms.

Speaker 3 (01:28:13):
She hadn't even heard in her sleeps. You don't wake
up now.

Speaker 1 (01:28:15):
Caroon's entertainment report is on the Fread show.

Speaker 4 (01:28:18):
Fredie, have the little clippiana that our sweet beet want
to clip?

Speaker 1 (01:28:22):
Pretty fake? Yeah, I'm gonna do the clippy right now.

Speaker 4 (01:28:24):
So earlier this morning, we kept asking Jason Brown, who
had his boots on the ground at our iHeartRadio jingle
Ball in New York, like what did you see?

Speaker 1 (01:28:34):
Who was there? Who did you see? You on fun backstage?
And he was really excited that he saw t. J.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
Holmes and any robot okay, And he casually forgot to
mention that the entire cast of Secret Lives of Mormon
Wives were there. He forgot to mention that Robert de
Niro was there, and he forgot you mentioned.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Robert DeNiro literally Jason and Robert de Niro interacted and that,
oh yeah, there.

Speaker 10 (01:28:59):
Was this guy.

Speaker 1 (01:29:01):
Shook my hand. You also forgot to mention that there
was a damn spice girl there, like what are we doing? Okay,
like this we need it, we need like one of
those GoPros or something to follow her like wear it
on your head. Yeah, that's that's a secret fan of gift.
These are not casual things anyways.

Speaker 3 (01:29:21):
You just remember to turn them off sometimes.

Speaker 8 (01:29:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:29:26):
But it was Melsey and she came with great news.
Here it is. It has to happen.

Speaker 7 (01:29:35):
So I want to be sassy next July and we
have to celebrate inst and I can't give.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
What was it reunion to her?

Speaker 4 (01:29:45):
Yes, so wanna Be turns thirty years old, which makes
me feel old next year. And she said in order
to celebrate, they have to get themselves back on stage. Now,
will our girl Victoria go? I don't know, but just
do it?

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
Because of the will they won't wait? Won't they?

Speaker 4 (01:29:58):
Is driving me crazy these Elsewhere on the carpet, Alex
Warren casually mentioned that he's now friends with Jennifer.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Aniston, which I thought was really amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:30:06):
Speaking of Alex, to watch the really good performances from him,
Nellie Jesse, Murph, Zara Larson, Ed Sheeran, and more. iHeartRadio
partnered with ABC to bring the iHeartRadio jingle Ball Tour
to even more fans across the country, and exclusive network
special will air on December seventeenth and the next day on.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
Hulu, so there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:30:28):
We talked about the first two episodes of the Taylor
Swift Disney Plus docu series The End of an Era earlier,
and Jason mentioned his takeaway was kind of like, Wow,
she's not perfect. We never get to see like her
being emotional or not just being the star that she is.
I think one person online wrote, I know she was
going through it because I saw bags.

Speaker 1 (01:30:49):
Under her hour, like I've never seen that before.

Speaker 4 (01:30:51):
But there's one scene where we see her getting super
emotional because it is the first show back after that.
You know, they narrowly have that terrorist attack in Vienna,
so it was the first show after that, and you
see her really telling her mom like she's dealing with
a lot of anxiety and having a physical reaction to
it as anyone would be. And so she puts on
an audio book and it's like some woman telling a story.

(01:31:14):
And so of course everyone found out what the audiobook
was that she was listening to to try to calm down.

Speaker 1 (01:31:19):
It's a popular thriller that came out last year. It's
called The.

Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
God of the Woods and it's a book by Liz Moore,
and it follows the disappearance of a young girl from
the aner on decks a summer camp in nineteen seventy
five and the unraveling of a long buried family secret
that surfaces in the search for her.

Speaker 1 (01:31:37):
So that was what was trying to calm her down.

Speaker 4 (01:31:39):
So I kind of feel more like her than anyone else,
because you know, I like to listen to my little
murder before bed.

Speaker 8 (01:31:44):
The book was on the Neely, it was a bestseller list,
and the author literally wrote on social woke up this
morning to a DM explosion.

Speaker 4 (01:31:54):
Thank you Swifties for your sharp eyes and ears and
the love of reading. She also showed how she calmed
down after a show. She takes a bath and she's like,
I wait for hours for these adrenals. This adrenaline to stop.
I get in a bath, I order room service, and
I signed stuff until I get tired. She's like most
people take drugs. I just ride it until you know
I can finally go to sleep. This year's NFL Playoffs,

(01:32:15):
you guys, will be the first without Tom Brady, Peyton
Manning or Patrick Mahomes since nineteen ninety eight, So it's.

Speaker 1 (01:32:23):
Gonna be a little bit different.

Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
Of course, Patrick Mahomes got a big old injury if
you did not hear.

Speaker 1 (01:32:28):
That, So it's kind of I don't know, it's gonna
be different this year. Give some other people a chance,
I guess.

Speaker 4 (01:32:33):
And you guys were beside yourself that this movie beat Wicked,
but Zutopia to regain the top spot at the box
office with twenty six million in its third weekend of release.

Speaker 1 (01:32:43):
So they're beating all the other movies right now, So
Zutopio too.

Speaker 8 (01:32:47):

Speaker 2 (01:33:06):
Did you know that Santa Claus originally wore green, brown,
or blue?

Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
Not red? And do you want to know why he
wears red?

Speaker 2 (01:33:17):
The red suit only became iconic after Coca Cola's nineteen
thirties Christmas ads, which then standardized the look.

Speaker 3 (01:33:24):
Before that, Santa outfits were all over the place. He
could accessorize. Wow, he could do whatever he wanted.

Speaker 13 (01:33:31):
He's an influencer. Yeah, Like you know, his swag changed
for the bag and I understand it, so maybe.

Speaker 3 (01:33:37):
Maybe we can we can make another adjustment and get
him in a Kiki's tea.

Speaker 1 (01:33:41):
