Speaker 1 (00:00):
This entertainment report is on the pread show Freddy, This
one's for you, Okay. Taylor Swift has incorporated elements of
George Michaels nineteen eighty seven absolute banger father figure into
her upcoming song of the same name on the Life
of a Showgirl. I mean, why I can agree that's
a banger, right, that's a banger?

Speaker 2 (00:22):
What? Yes?

Speaker 3 (00:24):
So thank you for that fake reaction.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I have not. I'm stunned. Dam little John Great. I'll
tell you something. And of course the Swifties would never
tell her if she did. But if she screws this up,
this is gonna be bad. If I hear this and
she messes with this classic, this icon, then we're gonna
have a problem. So such a sexy.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Song, what she's doing is kind of interesting. She's actually
not sampling the song. She's interpolating it, which I.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Learned this same morning where we get in trouble.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh boy, No, it's gonna be more pure because when
you interpolate something, as opposed to sampling it, you use
this process of estimating unknown values between known data points,
or inserting something into a piece of music, aka recreating
a melody or composition.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Note for note with.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Another song, so it's gonna be like almost exactly the
same song he gets writing credits on the album, and
she's going to reimagine it in her in her imagination.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Wow, let me when you like five or ten seconds
of this so that it shows up on the spreadsheets.
So there's some more on suit emails me and ask me.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Did you play George Michael?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
We did. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
We weren't on the air, by the way, so maybe
you want to check on that before you'd write me
a stupid memo about it spreadsheet that you're staring at you.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Hey, way, hold on for I definitely want this to
show up.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
So, yeah, did you play George Michael?

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I played it twice? Wait till they asked we had
a reason.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Actually, I think Taylor should sing the words word for
word because this is how she This is what she's
saying to her fans.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Let me be your father figure.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
This is what she has to say to all of you,
see me all your money. I could see it working.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
I can't too, And I think the whole album is
similar vibes. So I think you will be driving down
Lake Shore with your windows down and you know me
and your sweatshirt, and I think you're gonna vibe you.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Know me, my Kispia.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I went, I got one of those like speaker boxes
that you like, if you were cool, you had it
like in the late nineties early remember, like you had
the bump. I got the bump. Yeah, that's got my
name etched into the side of it. Yeah it's his friend,
which I may or not have had at one point,
but it's fine.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
No, I did. I did this is way back in
the day.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I did commercials for like a car's audio place doesn't
even exist anymore, Like, does any want to do that anymore?
Does anybody take their car to like the card place
and have them pimp it out like we did, you know.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Back in the Yeah, do you remember that?

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like yes, I think maybe now people everything is either
too complicated or it already comes like right, it already
comes like pretty good.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
I think these places were on every corner and everybody
did it. They took their car and they would drive
it in the place and be like make it loud
or whatever, and they'd put like a new deck in
and they'd put speakers in places and said anyways, I
did commercials for this place. And I took my jeep,
my cheap grand Cherokee, and I drove it in there.
And I come out and I had this like gigantic
like the back of the truck. I didn't know what

(03:33):
they were doing because it was free, because I was
doing the commercial. The entire back of the thing was
this custom clear box with speakers.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
It shaid Fred. It was like lit in me so hard.
I would have done it so quick.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Same.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
That's really all it took. Was like a stooped up
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Like, if you're a child of the nineties and two thousand,
you know what I'm talking about. It. I didn't know
what they were going to do, and I show up
and I'm like, it was like pit my ride. There
was like a popcorn maker in a like a clay
studio in the back of my car. The car flew
when I was done with it. It was when they when
they were done.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
You are going to be living your best eighties life picture.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
You're in that jeep with this.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Album, and you had your case logic. I mean, God,
this is going to really ages, but you had your
case logic. If you were really a pimp, you had
they were Ye, you had the album right in there.
You had the one with the handle, the handle on it,
the big blanket, and then oh yeah, and then you
had like the six disc changer and that was the
only bad part about it was if you had the

(04:36):
six disc changer in the back, which of course I had,
then like you only had the six so like if
you were rolling, like I want to hear something else,
you have to pull over switch it out. Yeah. Then
you had the deck that had the little face that
came off. If you were like a real g you
pop the face off, you know, because people could steal it.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
I always wondered why, like they were afraid people would
take that.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Well, because if you pop the face off, then all
that all you'd be able to steal is the deck
with no thing on it.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
So it was like a security mechanism. I guess, okay it.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
And yes, people are asking, we're going to play the
album on Friday, We're gonna play the albums?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
What were you talking about?

Speaker 1 (05:09):
I thought we were I forgot how we got here.

Speaker 3 (05:10):

by becoming the first and only female artists who surpass
one hundred million certified album sales.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Hundred and five million albums, placing her among the top
selling artists of all time.

Speaker 3 (05:25):

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Hurt a little bit. It's official.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
As of yesterday, nicolek Hadman filed for divorce from Keith Urban,
ending their nineteen year marriage. Now the couple, who share
two daughters, had been living separately for some time. We
knew this, but people close in a are saying that
she felt really hurt and betrayed by the separation, believing
that their marriage could be saved. Unfortunately, I'm hearing Keith
has already moved on dating a younger woman.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Are you kidding me? I Am not joking yet. Five
Blowout Curl, Rocket, Chunky Highlights. He has the audacity Wow,
this separation.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
And I also heard that he was kind of sick,
which this really ticked me off. He was sick of
not seeing her a lot because their schedules figured out Keith.
But the separation follows a period of time where they
were living apart because she was filming A Practical Magic
Too in London and Keith was touring with this high
End a Live World tour. Their last public appearance together
was in June, and Nicole had recently celebrated their anniversary

(06:40):
online nineteenth same month.

Speaker 3 (06:42):

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
