Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is what's trending. I mean, I can keep a
secret and I will, But conversation we just said off
the air was legendary. I couldn't believe it happened to me.
Isn't that like and maybe if it doesn't come together,
we can tell you. Isn't that sort of surreal that
like in your life? That what it was yesterday? This happened.

(00:21):
I was on a zoom call yesterday. Can I say
you were? I could say, because it may not happen, right,
it might not happen. So I just think that is
the I mean, like, where am I? Where do I work?
What am I? Like? Who am I talking to? This
happens a lot to me, by the way, where I'm
like what am I? It's not necessarily imposter syndrome, but
there have been a number, I mean twenty fifty times

(00:42):
where I'm standing in a room or something's happening and
I'm like yeah, Like the other day, we were negotiating
a Mariah Carey zoom and I'm like, right, I was
going to interview Mariah Carey in my underwear from my house,
Like why, like how.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm texting about Mariah Carey? Like right, this is insane.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
You text me, Hey, can you talk to Mariah Carey tomorrow?
I'm like, em me moves some things around, you know,
I mean, it's just like what. But then we're planning
another podcast, a live podcast. It's we have in podcasts
called the Tangent. We don't like to do it very often,
but only live. We only do it live. Now we'll
do it live. There's just been a lot going on,

(01:17):
but we will be better about it. But we're planning
another live Tangent podcast. You can come and see us
do it for whatever reason, and usually we have some
form of entertainment along with it. And so we were
talking last week. We were like, well, Millie Vanilly is
big because of the Monster Show. I wonder you know
one of them? R I p like, well what's his name? Fab?

(01:39):
Like what's that? What's Fab doing? So? You had a
call with Fab's management yesterday.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Literally and I don't know if he was lying to me,
but he said he knew about the station. So I
was like he was lying, but I was like, hey,
what is my life? And be like why do you
want to talk to me? Like you're literally Millie Vanilli's manager.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Are you sure it wasn't a fab himself. He didn't
have his camera. Oh my god, you just touch that's wild, right,
Like he was like, I was just texting with Fab.
I'm like what it was like when Paulino U was
was messaging with Bobby Valentine anomous his song from the

(02:18):
two thousands and whatever, and like it was it was,
you know, management at Bobby Valentino dot com, which is
absolutely Bobby Valentino himself. And then Paulina started responding like
as an assistant to herself, just because it was like, wow,
so you you yesterday? Yeah, spoke to Millie Vanilli's management. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Wow, and in my underwear in my like office area.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And now we said it so if anyone tries to
copy us, which happens all the time, and then so
be it. But we we may have a podcast live
early next year with Millilly well one of them, which
one was it? I don't know. Wait, let's get the
real guy. What's that guy doing. Let's get both of them. Wow,

(03:09):
I'm just saying that would be insane, insane, it really would. Yeah,
And he was like, what is the theme of the podcast?
Maybe he'd want to jump. I was like, I don't
know if he's gonna, oh, he can jump his ass
on the podcast.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I don't know if he's gonna want to once he
like sees.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I don't know. You know, I lost lots of questions
from Vanilli. Did it drive once they found out it
won you or no? Because you're good looking guys, you know.
I think they had a racket going. I don't know
why they didn't just throw that guy in and the
three of them just didn't try it, you know what
I mean. Yeah, it was such a big deal. Now
everyone like, okay, all right, so we weren't singing, but

(03:44):
he is so here. He is he's a real person,
So like, let's all three of us get together and
go on to her. I know they tried. The two
of them tried to go out and do it on
their own, and didn't work because as we as we
learned last week, the songs don't sound the same. They're
not bad, they just don't sound the same. But I
wouldn't even bet. I wouldn't even be talking about Million
Vanilly if Calein hadn't told me last week that her
twenty one year old sister that they're obsessed with Millionvanilly.

(04:07):
Everything old becomes new again, so we at least have
one person who would go to the Tanus. Well, she
has a lot of friends, so she'd bring them. Okay, yeah,
so you know a couple of them. We only need thirteen.
I'm only expected to put thirteen people in a room.
You remember last time we had to hire that Tepperware
convention to come show up? You know, yeah, okay, okay,

(04:28):
they get wild.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Looking at their Wikipedia fab He worked at Kiss of
m where in la Oh he did in nineteen ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
He did, and he performed that Wango Tango said who
he thought he was?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
I was very Oh god, he's gonna win Bank California
knocking on the door.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
They booked me. No, no, the poor Man's Ryan Seacrest
booked you, and that didn't she cogo It's the other way. Yeah,
take Cheese Cress book to you anyway, So that would
be very exciting. I you know, I have to say
I left with a very positive outlook. So I think
it's not every day that you would get to see
a Fred Show, Tangent Live, and Millie Vanilli in one
And there's nothing really more fitting than that that we

(05:17):
would book a star, a tarnished star, from thirty years
ago but still iconics. It really is. Yeah, but we
need to secure the bag because like everyone's talking about
it right now, and by February they may not be.
So we need to secure the bag immediately. I don't know.
That's what's everything. You know, it's everybody. But but plus,

(05:38):
you know, weren't they trying to tell you on the
meeting yesterday, like essentially like things are getting bigger, so
we don't really know what to do, Like, weren't they
saying to you like, well, yeah, we're kind of getting
famouser again, so like we don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
The songs are charting again, right, and he's got like
other projects, Like he's like I guess outside of this country,
he's like massive, Like but.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
He can't, right, but he can't. He can, he can.
He's just not. It's just not the same, Okay, Yeah,
Like it sounds fun. I don't know if you were
here when we played the side by side last week,
but it sounds good. It just doesn't sound the same
because it was a different dude singing the Milli Vanilly
songs and working on that guy too. So we're gonna

(06:19):
book I has to play the track that skips I
want version. I'm actually not gonna play that because we're
trying to book the man, so like not what we're
trying to focus. He knows that he has to.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
He's gonna play like million Vanilli songs, not like this
solo stuffer.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
We're not interested. No coming the ing. Don't forget my number.
You know it's true, girl, you know it's true. And
let it skip. Oh evil, evil, Yeah, and then you
can go and you know what else, we're working on
this fantasic burrino that's actually not a bad idea, not
to be confused with other fantages. The New York Yankees

(07:00):
avoided a World Series sweep. They won eleven and four
over the Dodgers last night at forced the game five.
Game five is tonight. The Dodgers could win the World
Series tonight. Two Yankees fans sitting in the front row
near the foul pole in right field were called for
fan interference after they not only tried to take the
ball at a Mookie BET's glove, but tried to take
his glove too. They tried to take the whole hand

(07:23):
off the man's arm in Game four of the World Series.
He bet is rather he appeared to have made the play.
As the ball reached the front row of the seats
a Yankee stadium. The two fans immediately tried to jump
in and steal the ball. One fan ripped the ball
out of Bettice's glove while apparently trying to then pull
the entire glove off his hand completely. Officials called the

(07:45):
fan interference and granted the out. Security then ran up
and escorted the fans out. So you're you're legendary for
the pic, an amazing picture you're gonna have. Yeah, but
you also paid you know, five thousand dollars for a
World Series seat and you got kicked out, Which I
guess that's a good story, right, I mean.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, he's like a local celebrity now there. Well yeah,
I mean yeah, it didn't work.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
But yeah, Now, if it had been the other way
around and you'd try to steal the the out from
the Yankees, then you get killed. Actually, then you die.
You know, you need to move to another stage, Steve Bartman, Yeah,
you need to move to you know, Kansas or something,
because you don't. That's not good. So it's official. We
talked about it yesterday. Air travelers now get an automatic
refund for cancelations and significant delays. Travelers take note of

(08:28):
a new rule change. Airlines are now required to refund
passengers automatically for canceled or significantly delayed flights. Under the
dot's new rules, airlines will be required to provide cash
refunds promptly without customers having to ask. Domestic flights delayed
by three hours and more and international flights delayed by
six or more qualify for a full refund, So cash refund. Yeah.

(08:50):
They also have to refund for services passengers paid for
but weren't provided, like Wi Fi or entertainment. So like,
if you pay for the Wi Fi don't work, then
you get your money back. You don't have to like
hassle for them. This is kind of a crazy story.
I'm not sure if anywhere else does this. I've never
heard of it. But for the first time since nineteen
thirty eight, children in Des Moines, Iowa, will go trick
or treating for Halloween on Halloween because more than seven

(09:13):
decades ago, Iowa's capital city took a different approach in
hopes of reducing vandalism and promoting more wholesome fun for kids.
They call it Beggars Night. It happens the day before Halloween,
and besides screaming trick or treat, children are expected to
tell a joke before receiving a treat. But because it's
going to rain tonight in Des Moines, then they're gonna

(09:33):
have Halloween on Halloween. Now here's my thing. Why, Okay,
so Halloween on Thursday this year and they have it
there on the day before. How does that prevent anybody
from not just acting a fool the night before? Right right?
Why would I? So we're gonna do the night before,
so nobody acts dumb for the last seventy years, Well,
why don't we just start acting dumb on that night? Yeah,

(09:54):
on Beggar's Night. Yeah, I guess I don't really understand.
Beggar's Night has limited hours too, from six to eight
two hours. Also, we can have the debate again and
a little bit, maybe we'll revisit we have it every year.
Rufo is going to go trick or treating tomorrow night,
and he as a forty two forty three year old man,
he is going to trick or treat alongside his kids

(10:16):
and take the candy. And, as you know, I think
that is uncouth. I do not believe that grown men
should be taking Halloween candy that was intended for children.
Rufio obviously disagrees. I dress up, you know, I'm in costume.
Have you ever had anybody look at you and say no, no,
You've never had a parent be like hey, yeah and

(10:37):
then just put the candy in the kids bags?

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well, especially like now being an adult, like older, I
have kids myself, and we have my nieces and nephews,
so it's just like they're with us. So I'm just
holding a bag, so they think it's like for this year,
it's Parker's bag, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
So you know, well that so what you're saying is
you're acknowledging that you know they shouldn't be giving you candy.
They're just giving it to you because they think it's
for child.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
It's not like I'm just I'm dressed up in the
costume every years.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Makes it worse. I gotta be honest with you, man,
I think if you knocked on my door and were
a bunch of kids in you, I wouldn't give you candy.
I wouldn't assume you wanted it. Because I've seen other
parents dress up. They just don't go to the door
and put their little their little bin out, you know,
or whatever, their little basket. I mean, that's it could be.
They think it's just for the kids. It's for me.

(11:27):
Oh boy, Jeopardy's in trouble, Guys, Jeopardy, Ken Jennings is
being canceled. It's over. Oh, it's it's over. No Wow.
He issued a mid game apology on Monday to a
female contestant after an awkward moment with a clue. As
Entertainment Weekly recounts, contestants were asked to complete the decades
old rhyming phrase men seldom make passes at dot dot dot.

(11:49):
After returning champ Will Wallace correctly answered girls who wear glasses.
Jennings had to address a female contestant named Heather Ryan
who had glasses on a little problematic Heather, I'm sorry,
he had to say, making fun of people with glasses.
It's over. It's over, Ken Jennings. Retire. Aaron Rodgers, You're
in no, no, no, no, bringing back Mayan biollacka and

(12:10):
biallic over Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is in Ken Jennings out,
how dare you you can know? And finally, what's trending.
This morning, new data breaks down chicken nugget preferences state
VI state to report from betting dot Us found that, well,
I don't know why they're doing this, but McDonald's is
the home of the nation's most loved chicken nugget.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
Oh no, Wendy's all day, all day when, oh yeah tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah yeah, spicy to get the yeah twenty one stage
from Alaska to Connecticut, say McDonald's, I mean, pound for pound,
They're consistent and you can get them anywhere. There's a
McDonald's everywhere. There isn't doing Wendy's everywhere, but Chick fil
A came in second. Disagree, Wendy's is absolutely number one.
Yeah yeah, top tier. Primarily in the South, people said

(12:55):
Chick fil A taking third, mostly New York and New
Jersey was Wendy's. Only two states west of Michigan, Idaho
and Oregon, agreed. Burger Kings were crowned best only in
Kansas and Vermont. Popeyes scored well in its home territory
of Louisiana and Kentucky. Fried Chicken took its namesake state
as well. In North Carolina, people would say cookout, which

(13:17):
I've been there and I don't know about that. I
would say Bojangles has got to be in there somewhere
for the for North Carolina. But the research also found
the Columbus, Ohio, which is home to the Ohio State University,
leaves the nation with a very impressive sixteen nuggets per meal.
I mean, you got to get the twenty piece, you
know what I mean, Like when you're sitting down, unless

(13:39):
you're getting something, unless unless the nuggets are a side,
then you got to get at least twenty nuggets. Right.
I thought the meal was ten, Right, the.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Meal's ten, But they have like the five dollar deals
and now they come with nuggets like a four piece nuns.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
That's what I mean though. If that is your primary meal,
you need twenty. You can't get ten. You need twenty.
You ever get the fifty bucks it from Wendy's Okay,
big bag? Yeah, And it's like it's like it's like
ten eleven dollars. You don't need them. Oh man. Yeah.
I don't want to overthink that because eleven dollars for

(14:12):
that much chicken concerns me. What are we eating? Right? Right?
I would I would almost prefer if it were like
thirty you know, because it makes me feel like then
maybe they went to Whole Foods or something. I don't know. Yeah,
make me feel better. It's it's National Wicked Day. I
have crushed like an entire crave case of tacos. Though,

(14:33):
what's that ten twenty from Taco Well twelve they're called
crave cases, aren't they. That's what that's white Castle. Oh,
I've crushed one of those two. But like the party pack,
Oh for sure. Either way, I need I need to
be alone for a long time. Either way after I
got to cancel my whole day after that. If there's
either one of those restaurants involved, it's like if it's noon,

(14:54):
then if we have dinner plans, we don't anymore. Yeah,
it's National Wicked. The Play Day, National Candy Corn Day,
and Speak Up for Service Day recognizes the importance of
young people to be actively involved in community service. The
Entertainment Report Kalin has that next we'll get to blogs
