so where we've moved on. Now we're in the actual playoffs.
So we made the wild card picks. Now we have

take on Jason Brown, the actual expert in this.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yes, he beat me last week. Week He mean you moralize.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's because he's the guy that knows. Okay, just let's
face it, all.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Right, I rethought my life path last week.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
The man doing his own choreo and writing his own
pop songs at thirteen, it's also a sports expert.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Who is it?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Okay, let me see here, so we gotta fast forward
here to the Okay, the eighteenth.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
All right, So here are your choices. There aren't many
like the eighteenth.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
They're playing on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
They are playing on Saturday, and because college football is
basically over, their championship game is Monday night.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
That's so for the NFL playoffs, they never have a
game overlapping each other, so that way that everybody can
watch every game.

Speaker 5 (01:08):
Okay, because we're going to one hundred percent. Sure, I
should believe what she's saying. I mean, I beat her
last week.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
So I don't know if you obviously already know all
of this.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
It's like, yeah, I'm just testing you like you're in
the regular season.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
There are so many games. They just played several at once.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
But in the playoffs, Oh no, we need complete and
total focus on whatever's happening at the time. All right,
So tomorrow we have the Texans at the Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Oh Chiefs, come on, y'all, Chiefs.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
You're gonna do it. Okay, you're going to be objective.
Oh sorry, we're doing it back and forth.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
No, you can do no, no, no, no, no, I'm saying
in the elevator coming up this morning, we're talking about
our disdain.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
For the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Know what I believe, not real big Chiefs fans. I
was just you're going to be objective about this. You're
not going to let your personal opinion.

Speaker 6 (01:48):
Yes, I'm going to be logical.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
The Texans are not going to go into Kansas City
and beat the That's true.

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Taylor's probably going to be there. What was its.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Commanders and Lions?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh, Lions, the Lions.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Do you have to go to the Lions?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Shout out to Dan Campbell legend, Rams Eagles, that's on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (02:16):

thinks very attractive?

Oh yeah, let me need to win right now?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (02:24):
Yes, they deserve that.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Okay, all right, Rams Eagles. Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
As a Bay Area person, it's really hard to pick
Los Angeles team. Thought, wow, everybody even then she didn't
care environmental situations and they forget about it.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Well, obviously it's terrible what's going on. But I can hear.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I can hear how much you're really hurting you.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Whatever their football, it's hard.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's hard to play in Philadelphia. I think this will
be a very close game. But I think Philly where
wins us Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
And then Ravens Bills, which you were saying, you think bellahemine.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
What do you know?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
But you were saying that you thought it would be
the most exciting game of the weekend.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
Yes, I'm so excited.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Okay, I know those teams, Ravens.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
The Ravens Rhode Island, right, of course, yes, of course
they are.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Don't lie to him and the Birmingham Bill.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
I'm a Southern girl, so we'll go Birmingham Bills.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Okay, Wow, the Bills couldn't be any further away from
there actually. Okay, so you're going for the Bills, Josh Allen.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh yeah, Timu, Yeah, okay, I'm also going Bills.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
This is going to be a crazy game though, Okay,
it's going to be very high scoring, all right, So.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
The only ones you differ on you differ on Eagles,
and you differ on It's it, right, that's it. Yeah,
all right, Well we'll see, we'll see who knows more. Yeah,
I guess come Monday morning.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
Bell, I mean, is there a game I should bet on?
Because I have seventy dollars in my little betting app.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Okay, you have seventy dollars.

Speaker 6 (04:09):
He's going to give the parslay no matter what.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Like, when you have this sort of resource sitting next
to you, why would you ask her?

Speaker 6 (04:16):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
I think the lines beating the Commanders is like a
Sam dunk.

Speaker 6 (04:21):
That's I know.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
It's hard to be on your own team. I don't
know if okay, if I could bet on another team
and probably pick the Chiefs of the Texans.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Okay, okay, Jason, you go with that.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah you bet that's I already betted.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Obviously you did. We do a parcelay last week?

Speaker 5 (04:38):
What is the parcel That's why I didn't think we're
gonna do it today.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
So well prepared for these always, Jason.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Was prepared last week.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
Taylor Slip's going to be at the game. Let's see,
Sean mcfay is going to be wearing khaki pants and
you find us out and Josh Allen is he's gonna
score three touchdowns.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
That's a lot.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Okay, okay, so throw for three or you know, okay,
got on my tuddies.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, all right, So that's exciting, very nice job.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Thank you, but let me thank you. I think I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Also, there's a diehard Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore Ravens. I know
that's shocking. Maybe yeah baseball, but Baltimore Ravens fan that
about in September of twenty twenty one that he would
get new ink every time the Ravens won a game
up until they clinched the Vince Lombardi Trophy. He's stuck
to that promise, and now forty five tattoos later, he's
game to keep going with the hopes that Lamar Jackson

(05:42):
and the team earn that super Bowl win next month.
Imagine that, though, if they don't win the super Bowl
and he's really going to do this, that means he's
got to get you all next season because he's had
a win every win, so that would mean I don't know, ten, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen more tattoos plus to play this dude, wasn't wind
up covered. If they don't win the super Bowl soon,
at what point do you give up? Like when we

(06:04):
get to your face and neck? Yeah, because you know,
you know I love a neck tattoo. You know, nothing, nothing,
nothing sells me in, but like a neck tattoo.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
I wish I was that delusional to Geo, No, no, no,
it's like that fan like he's so convinced that.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I mean, if if you're one of these people that
like you're doing like a whole piece, like a whole
mural on your body, you run out of space and
the neck it needs to be included in the like art,
well then I guess fine, But like if you did,
I'm a little confused. If you just go to the
tattoo place and you're like, man, I don't know my
right arm, you know, my shoulder or my Let's just
let's do my neck, you know, like that one doesn't
seem painful, but it's just it's just right there. I mean,

(06:43):
I feel like this is all Really you really need
all this stuff right here? Do we really want to
be writing on top of it? No?

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I don't know. It's so bad like that, I know,
that's what I mean.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
An Arctic blast is forecast to give President elect Trump
the coldest inauguration in forty years, but it will be
the most attended of all.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Don't worry. See if you ask him.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
The temperature in Washington, DC at noon on Monday is
expected to be in the low twenties as Trump stands
in front of the Capitol to take his oath of office.
It would likely be the coldest inauguration day since President
Ronald Reagan's second inauguration in nineteen eighty five. It was
seven degrees at noon that day. Temperatures in much of
the US are expected to drop this weekend. Could be
almost thirty degrees below normal by Monday for millions. The

(07:27):
same weather pattern that will bring the Arctic chill across
the lower forty eight. Is also partially responsible for making
more Santa Ana wind events in southern California, which sparked
the firestorm.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, it certainly spread him.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
The Supreme Court said yesterday KIKI that it may announce
opinions this morning, but it didn't say what causes might
be decided. It's the last day the court could weigh
in on a TikTok ban that's set to go into
effect on Sunday, which would penalize US app stores and
hosting services if they don't cut off TikTok on Sunday. However,
yesterday was filled with plot twists in the case, including

(08:02):
an announcement from President Biden that his administration would not
enforce the law and would leave it up to the
upcoming Trump administration to deal with it. Now, he has
said that he vows to save TikTok from and then
he said, and then she said, mentioning an executive order
to delay the law. It's not clear what options Trump
has to stop the law, which was passed by Congress

(08:22):
the bipartisan support, so we'll see what happens. TikTok has
said that the Apple will go dark on Sunday. If
the law isn't delayed or blocked.

Speaker 6 (08:32):
Somebody better figure it out.

Speaker 8 (08:33):
He she they whoever, somebody down there at that courthouse
better work it out between today and Sunday.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
That's all I know because we write it down for TikTok.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
So moved the anger.

Speaker 6 (08:47):
Yes, and I'm ready to run.

Speaker 8 (08:49):
Wow.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
Yeah, I'm ready.

Speaker 8 (08:50):
And I don't need any more announcements about you know,
it's in this person hands. Like you signed off with
your job yesterday, so obviously I didn't expect you to
do anything.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
So you know, I was going to say, if you are,
if you are a politician and the outgoing administration like
you're out of office, is on like you are so like, dude.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
This is my last day. Like it's.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Like I got my stuff in the box, I'm out
of here. I'm moving on. Yeah, we're moving on.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Man.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
You know, I never thought you'd be part of an insurrection,
but it sounds like this year it's possible.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
In the room that's going to join that.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
I got my hat and my horns for TikTok. I
will thank you.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
I had no I had no idea that you would
wind up storming the Capitol, and it was not and
not for the reasons that happened four years ago.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
No, this is all for the glory of TikTok.

Speaker 8 (09:41):
I like you, snitch you. You might be on the
outside now. We might have to handle some things here first.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I just I just upset the mob boss. Okay, I'm
with you. I'm not riding with you, but I'm with you.
I'll be right here doing this number while you.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Save the day.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Billie Eilis, Lady Gagat, Katie Perry and several more stars
have joined the lineup for Fire Aid, which is happening
January thirtieth. It's a benefit concert that's expanded from the
into It Dome to also include the Key of Forum
to support victims of the ongoing wildfire crisis that has
devastated the LA area. Jelly Row, Gwence Toe, Fannie Tate, McCrae,
Rod Stewart, Stings, TeV Nicks.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
The list goes on and on.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
John Mayer, Earth Wind and Fire, Dave Matthews, Red Hot
Childie Peppers, Gracie Abrams. I mean literally, it's it's like
thirty people. This thing will be broadcast at select AMC theaters.
Apple Music Apple TV, I Heart Radio who all over it? Yes,
and a bunch of other places too, So try and
support it in one way or another. And go fund

(10:43):
me campaigns have raised more than one hundred million dollars
for the LA wildfire victims as well. State Farm has
scrapped their Super Bowl ad as the company is facing
backlash over LA fires. Maybe not the best time for
you know whatever. The cost of a Super Bowl commercial
is this year ten million, seven million, eight with a
lot of millions. And finally, because we have to have

(11:04):
some form of food story in what's trending if possible,
Progresso is launching soup Drops, a chicken noodle soup flavored
hard candy drop that resembles a cough drop.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Would you yes, The company said.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
The savory drops are arriving for a limited time this
month for National Soup Month, right at the height of
cold and flu season. They taste like broth, veggies, soft
egg noodles, and a hints of parsley, and you suck
on them.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Oh, I mean, why just get one of those bull
yawned things and suck on adab I will it's the
same thing. Yeah, I like it.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
You can get the soup drops exclusively at progressosoups dot com.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I don't know the.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Twenty individually wrap candies per thing two forty That sounds disgusting.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Soup drops, Why don't you get soup?

Speaker 2 (11:53):
How about just get soup and then you get it's
hot and it does all the things you're supposed to do.
You both taste like soup because it is exactly it's hot.
You know, it has all the nutrients and everything else
in the time. Yeah, yeah, I'm walking around like what's
going on here? Like, who's eating chicken noodle soup? But no,
it's just me. I got my progressive drops feeling right
over here. It's National Bootleggers Day and National Classy Day,

(12:18):
which is Betty White's birthday and a day to celebrate
those who graced with the ability to live their lives
with class passion and who are driven to share it
with others like Betty and me A lot like it's
me too, class A lot of people say that about me.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
They do.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
The Entertainment Report blogs a brand new waiting metaphone. Why
does somebody get ghosted all next to Fred show It's
back in two minutes. Yeah, they talk better than these
are the radio blogs on The Fred Show. It's like
running in our diaries, except we say them a loud
We call them blogs. Kaylin, Yes, it's a big weekend
for you. It is, and I know you're you're on

(12:55):
the edge of your seat please.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Oh yeah, So, dear blog.

Speaker 7 (12:59):
If you've been listening to the show for a little while,
then you know. I was raised like twenty minutes from
downtown Detroit, so the burbs near Detroit. I've been in Chicago, gosh,
almost ten years now, but I am a very big
Lions fan for a ton of reasons. I have been
going to games since I couldn't even lift my head up,
as they say, since nineteen ninety one, since the year

(13:19):
I was born. My dad said he used to sneak
a fifth of vodka in my stroller because they wouldn't
check in there, which, you know.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Like something my father would say too.

Speaker 7 (13:28):
Yeah, yeah, they had a sweet but apparently the booze
was still too expensive, so we were sneaking.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Really glad I had a kid so I could sneak
my vodkame Hey, listen.

Speaker 7 (13:36):
It's you know pro tip. I guess they probably got
a little smart on that. But I have been going
since I was little, and I've always been a fan.
If you know football, you know the Lions have never
been to the Super Bowl never, not once. Yes, fun fact,
so tomorrow, which is wild. Guess they're playing on a Saturday, Jason,
it is confusing. Is a very important Lions game. And I,

(13:57):
as you guys know, I'm so superstitious that I don't
even like to say, like when Belhamine told me to
bet on the and the Lions, like, I don't want
to do that because I don't want to jinx it.
And we were here last year and I brought my
nana's ashes to the bar because she was the biggest
Lions fan I knew, and I wanted her to experience
if we were going to go to the super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
That's a real thing. The Urn was at the bar.
The Urn attended the game.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
It was at a dive bar.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
People, not a joke like it really happened.

Speaker 7 (14:26):
No, No, people were cheersing her their drinks.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
I was holding her.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
And I want, I can assure you Nana has better
tickets than you do.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Oh yeah, I mean, well girl, if you do, then
make it happen from up there Jesus. So yeah, I'm
just I'm just really nervous, like I don't know how
to act, I don't know how to feel. I don't
want to talk about it, but I will be out
at a little dive bar watching because I could not
afford tickets to the game. So I don't know just
if you could find it in your hearts, even if
you're not a fan for this small little girl.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
It's going to start to go fund me. But I
don't think we could have gotten it high enough because
I think it was the most expensive non it was
the most expensive ticket and it was approaching Super Bowl
type prices too, just to go to this game in Detroit. Yeah,
thousand bucks was the average a couple of days ago.
I bet it's gone up.

Speaker 6 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:10):
And if you don't want it for me, Dan Campbell
was on the Lions in his NFL career and they
went zero and sixteen.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
They didn't win a single game.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
He's a wonderful guy, The players are amazing, the city
deserves it.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
So yeah, Dan Campbell's what got me few years ago,
and I in Camlin. But Dan Campbell mostly, uh, just
watching the guy cry as he walked through the stadium
on his first day, just because he got the job
and like, I don't know, I just something about that,
like he loved it so much, Like it means so
much to him. Also, the caffeine consumption is is it?

(15:42):
It's otherworldly.

Speaker 7 (15:44):
Yeah, he's a wonderful man. He shows his emotions. He
in every press conference. Will not ever blame the team.
He blames himself his wife Holly every morning, the day
after they win, post victory, coffee with Dan and he
goes to Starbucks and they write, I mean he's just
he's a wonderful person and the team deserves it. So
if you could keep me in your thoughts because I
may have a heart attack.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I think it's gonna be okay. I do I feel
good about it?

Speaker 6 (16:07):
Well? Yeah said last time, you did say that last year.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Okay, do you want me to what do you want
to say it? You only say it's gonna be terrible.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
I don't want to do I'm I'm trying to be
positive in twenty twenty five, you know, Captain positivity. That's
me in twenty twenty five. Will I can't send you
bad vibes. I have to send you good vibes.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
Thank you. Just say we'll see how it goes.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, that's probably a much say

Speaker 5 (16:28):
Yeah, more Fred show next right here,
