The film set a record for Broadway adaptations passing the

when it comes to Taylor Swift in Travis Kelsey's upcoming
dream wedding, reports are saying she's planning to turn her
seventeen million dollar Rhode Island mansion into her dream wedding venue.
Now they were initially thinking of getting married in Italy,
but doing it at her house gives her more options,
including adding a garden, because she dreams of being fully
surrounded by flowers and lush bushes everywhere. I just hope
(02:50):
she realizes that's coming with a swarm of bugs too
in the warm weather, you.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Vice President Jade Vance's wife Usha was seen without her
wedding ring, so naturally, rumors swore, speculating a possible divorce.
Her spokesperson addressed it, claiming as a mother of three,
she does a lot of dishes and gives a lot
of baths, and she simply forgot to wear it, and
we can't forget. These rumors were also fueled by JD's
hug with Erica Kirk at the Turning Point event a
month ago that ended up going viral. Caroline Kennedy's daughter
(03:18):
Tatiana Schlosberg, has revealed that she was diagnosed with a
cute myloid leukemia, which was discovered after she welcomed her
second baby in May of twenty twenty four, and doctors
told her that she had a year left to live.
After months of chemo, she joined a clinical trial of
Carte cell therapy, which is a type of immunotherapy against
certain blood cancers, but doctors eventually told her that her
(03:41):
prognosis had gotten worse. I gotta say, this is just
very devastating. However, let's end on some good news. We
got to say congratulations to the Weekend. His After Hours
Till Dawn tour has officially passed the one billion mark,
making it the highest grossing tour by a male solo
artist in history. Now he has sold over verse seven Right,
He's sold over seven point five million tickets across fifty
(04:04):
three shows since twenty twenty two, covering North America, Europe,
the UK, Latin America and Australia. And the run this
year in North America included more than forty sold out shows,
and the tours also donated over eight point five million
dollars to the Exo Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen. But
it's not stopping because his tour is going to expand
(04:24):
next year with over forty new dates across Mexico, Brazil,
Europe and the UK. And that is the dirt to

The dialogue and temperament about to be used by Hollywood
(08:43):
Hamilton does not necessarily reflect the views and opinions of iHeartMedia.
This is fraud Friday.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Lay it out for us. What do we got this week?
Speaker 9 (08:53):
You know, it's really awful when people are trying to
raise money for their community and then encounter criminals, thieves
and scammers and get ripped off with something as wholesome
as bingo.
Speaker 12 (09:04):
And that's what happened to Betty.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
All right, Well, we got Betty from Bloomfield, New Jersey
on the Bety you.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
There, Yeah, I'm here, thank you.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Betty was running a bingo fundraiser. Tell us a little
bit about what you What was it all for? What
was it all for?
Speaker 13 (09:19):
Sure?
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Thank you? I appreciate you having me on. Well, we
were raising money for our community center. We fell into disrepair,
and so we decided on a bingo event. We'd never
done it before, and we thought it would be a
nice way to bring the community together in a fun way.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
What happened?
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So you hired a firm, a bingo what is this
a bingo outfit that comes in they facilitate the entire
operation for it.
Speaker 5 (09:44):
Yeah. They said they'd take care of everything, which was
great because we didn't wear a small community center. You know,
we didn't know how to go about it. And they
said they'd do everything from getting the licenses and the
permits and what have you, and then we'd also have
to get all the supplies because there's a lot of things,
you know, the cards and the and the little daubers,
the mark and all that. They said they take care
(10:06):
of everything.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You You thought they went out and got the permits,
when in actuality, they didn't even do that for you.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
No, that's where we're having a serious problem, Like we're
going to get into trouble for doing something that we
didn't know. Like you got to trust somebody, and we
trusted them.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Where did you find these guys? Like were they a
referral from another community center that they well?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
To be honest, we looked on craigslist.
Speaker 9 (10:33):
Okay, all right, and there are plenty of firms that
do this that are very legitimate and they are bingo
party companies and they put on these games and they
have the.
Speaker 12 (10:42):
Callers and it's wonderful. These were just bad actors.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
You know, they seemed to know what they were doing.
I mean like they showed up, the equipment was there,
We had a lot of people there, and you know
we were we were doing.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
That many people betting how many people showed up that
we need.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
To know that we had like four hundred people.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Four whoa turnout? Good for you?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, I know we figured we figured everybody spent about
forty five dollars. Now that's between their cards, right, because
everybody wants to increase their chances. So they bought a
couple of cards, and there were other people who bought
as many as eight cards and of course they bought
the Daubers to keep track. So it was a lot
of people and a lot of money changing hands.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
They said it would take a couple of weeks to
pay out to us.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Okay, so what's the name of the company? Who are
we calling here?
Speaker 5 (11:33):
The name of the company is being street ros.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
This company is still picking up your phone call.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
Oh yeah, he answers the phone or you'll call back.
But he's very vague, and he keeps saying, based on
our calculations, it's a little over two thousand.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Dollars with almost four hundred people at a time.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, that's this guy's ripping are off two grand. That's
just not even believable.
Speaker 5 (11:57):

thousand dollars, and I know that there's got to be more.

right here of course, Producer Anthony has taken off today.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
What was the reason for that? Did he give you
any Because I tend to I.
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Thought he overslept and then next thing you know, he
took off, Samantha.
Speaker 12 (43:36):
He said he took off because I was trying to
do him a solid.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
But now Astra's ruined.
Speaker 4 (43:41):
Yes, definitely detention.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
We forgot the most important part here. He works from home,
so he overslept in his bed. He couldn't get up in.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Yeah, this is the guy that works from the basement
of his mom and dad's home in Staten Island and
he's still.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Slept in and you gave him the day off.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Samantha, I'm calling his roommates. Yeah, I want to find
out if that's true.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
That's mom and dad. I know we've threatened to do
that before, would producing Anthony? He goes, don't you ever
do that? Don't you ever call my mom and dad?
Don't don't do that. Don't you do that?
Speaker 1 (44:16):
And by the way, his mom and dad are the
loveliest people ever. By the way, yes, truly so.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Uh hey, by the way, anybody know about this extended
return policy for holiday shopping and Amazon and Best Buy
and Macy's and Target and Walmart and all these others.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
I guess some of the Amazon especially is expanding till
the end of January January thirty first to be exact
on returns, which I think is great.
Speaker 1 (44:40):
But you know what, can I can?
Speaker 4 (44:41):
I I just have an Amazon problem and I really
need to ask you guys about it.
Speaker 3 (44:45):
So Hi, thank you for calling Amazon. Can we help you?
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Marie?
Speaker 4 (44:48):
Okay, thank you, Astraw. I like going to the store
and buy and stuff right same here. I'd like to
feel the fabric all of that stuff. So I open
the box with this cute little dress. And when I
open it up and I opened up the dress, I went,
oh wow, it smells so pretty. Like this company really
(45:11):
goes the extra mile by brain this beautiful scent in
their boxes.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Yeah, they rebox. Somebody wore that a person's.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
Return is now your purchase.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
Ew, Well, what do you mean, oh you thrift shop?
Almost that's your hobby, you thrift shop.
Speaker 4 (45:27):
These things they don't smell though, I mean I wash
things when I buy something from Amazon. You mean I'm
not buying a brand new item.
Speaker 3 (45:35):
Not always? And are there are actually ways to figure
that out? I had seen this little hack on TikTok.
There's like certain stickers that they put on packages that
were previously returned, so they tell you to keep an
eye on those because if you get a package like that,
you'll know that that package went to someone else's house
before it came too.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Had perfume zed, somebody wore, somebody wore.
Speaker 4 (45:56):
But I have to say the perfume is really nice.
I like because it sounds fabulous.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
So yeah, So for Amazon, the expanding of the return
window is January thirty, first of twenty twenty six, and
best Buy, Macy's, Target, and Walmart are also going to
be doing extended holiday return windows, mostly into mid to
late January. I don't have the exact dates, but just
of course look it.
Speaker 4 (46:16):
Up till late January. That's really a lot of time.
That's great.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
Actually, they do have fine print stuff going back January fifteenth.
I know I didn't go through that, but things like
Apple products.
Speaker 12 (46:27):
There's yeah print Apple.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
Products if unless it shows up damage, but includes premishables,
customized items and pharmacy products and anything final sale, those
cannot be returned.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
And what about opened, it doesn't matter open, non.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Open, ovender, non open. Amazon takes everything died.
