Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do we know anybody? Does anyone who listens to the
program make like have like an awards shop or make
trophies or anything. Because our friend been close personal friend
of the program Mojo of Mojo in the Morning in Detroit,
Michigan in Detoi.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Sadly and somehow miraculously was not inducted into the Radio
Hall of Fame, which is a travesty, it really is.
The man should be in the Radio Hall of Fame.
In my opinion, some of these people I don't even
know who they are. They got in the radio because
I think there were like twenty people that could have
been and the six people got in. I don't know
who votes. I call shenanigans on the whole thing to
(00:41):
be I want to see who voted for this thing.
I want to see the voting rect Yeah, I want
to see the results. I got a lot of problems
with his Radio Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I demand to recount.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I got a lot of problems with the Radio Hall
of Fame because for a long time, you could get
in the Radio Hall of Fame if you just campaign
your listeners to win. So like a bunch of douchebag
radio people who had were on a lot of cities.
They would just get on the radio and say vote
for me for the Hall of Fame. Or they would
play this game and go, well I got nominated, you know,
which is their way of saying, please go google this
(01:10):
and find out how to vote for me. And I
don't know how you can be in a Hall of
Fame for anything while you're still doing it. I will
say that, except that Mojo has been doing this for
like twenty five years in Detroit. He's an institution and
he is a legend. And we have Kalin because of Mojo.
But I want to send Mojo the most obnoxious trophy.
I would like him to be the first entrance or
(01:31):
the first inductee into the Fred Show Hall of Fame.
We only we don't have one. We have one that
we're inventing one now, and we have a constitution. I
think we should have a Hall of Fame, and I
would like him to be, you know, the first person
in it. But my vision is something about as tall
as me, a trophy about as tall as me, maybe
(01:53):
like a big strong man on the top of it.
I don't know. I mean obnoxious though. I want this
to be just ridiculus less. Maybe maybe there's an LED
component to it. I don't know. I don't know where
they can do with trophies these days. I have no idea.
I mean, I'm thinking Stanley Cup, but bigger. I mean,
I don't know, just something just plus. Once we send
it to him, he's gonna have to display in his
(02:14):
home somewhere, which is my favorite part because where the
hell you're gonna put this thing? And Chelsea, his wife,
you know, a beautiful home. It's all designed, you know,
because he's very rich, so he has, like, you know,
just rich people stuff everywhere. I mean, you'll probably put
it in like the you know, pool house or something
away from where everybody can. Maybe in the West Wing.
I don't know. There are parts of his house. I
(02:34):
don't think he's ever been in, honestly, Like when I
go stay with Mojo in his home in Detroit, I
stay in a part of his house. He don't even
know where it is. Like he's like, well, wherever you sleep,
just come up later for breakfast. The majors will be
making it later or whatever. But so, but it needs
to be obnoxious. So if we know anybody who makes trophies,
I'll plug you take that management, I don't care. I'll
(02:55):
plug you. And I need something just insanely ridiculous sent
to Detroit. It has to be I mean just I
mean just ugly ridiculous of participation trophy. That's what I mean.
That's what that's what.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Sorry, sorry sorry, we know anybody.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Who can do that the text us or call us
or or email us or access or something as anyone to.
People make trophies, don't they have trophy stories? Oh yeah,
that make trophies. Yeah, I know you can get them
online and yeah no, I'm gonna get them a locket. Yeah,
with a picture of me, picture of me. And here's
the good news about the Hall of Fame is like
(03:33):
in fifteen or twenty years or whenever, world enough to
be in there, like there is no one left, so
they'll have to put us in.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It'll be like an AI universe that you can visit
with like like.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Honestly, like there's his generation and then there's us and
there's no like no one behind us. Like that's why
we keep getting opportunities because like there is no one
else to do it. So we're probably going to get
in somedays simply because.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You will for sure, you might.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
There's no wayfter we lose to AI a couple of times.
That's what I mean. Man, I can't even win the
State of Illinois Radio Award. You're talking about Hall of Fame.
There's no way. And I'm not nearly political enough. I
don't kiss anywhere near enough asked for that.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I love that about you, I really do.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That's why I'll never get in, because like, I just don't.
I just don't. I don't. My nose is not brown
enough for it. I'm probably I probably don't deserve it.
But the point is we need something. We need to
send something just obnoxious over to our friend. And if
anyone can help us do that, I would appreciate it. Yeah,
all right, good? Should we just some good news stories? Look,
(04:36):
surely someone can help us with this task. And the
more inappropriate the better. Like I don't know if we
can put like a sex way on top of it,
or I don't know, it's just something, you know what
I mean, Just I don't care, just whatever?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
What about like an edible arrangement?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
You know, this needs to be something that he needs
to put on display. It needs to go on his mantlepiece. Yeah,
one of the man, I have him the eighth fire place. Yeah,
one one of the fireplaces. Maybe in the maybe in
the maid's quarters or something. I don't know. You should
see this guy at this guy's house. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Oh, I've been there. I slipt over.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Not like, wait, you slept at Mojo's house. Oh, that's try.
You and Joe were dating for a week. We're notting.
That's right. You lives right down the road my.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Sisters across the clock.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I've been to your sister's house, but not inside. We
just drove it, sat in front of the place.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
You saw the house before I did. Amazing.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Do you guys have any friends like my friend Mojo.
Most of us in this business have severe add Mine's
a little bit more under control than most. But a
lot of my friends in radio need constant, constant entertainment,
Like they constantly have to be either moving or talking
to someone on the phone or in doing they have
been so like, I'll go to his house on the weekend
(05:52):
and I'm like, Hey, I'm gonna get up around noon
and then like, let's go to your country club and
drink on your tab. You know, I want to go
to the country club. He's a member of because like
there's the most of you think about country clubs. I'm
not a member of one. There's no bill. I mean
it goes to him, but like literally there's no bill.
Like I walked in a gift shop and he was like,
do you want this hat? I'm like, sure, I want
this hat, and he just we just walk out with it,
and someone just sends him a bill like you like,
(06:15):
what do you want to eat? I'll take a Tomahawk? Okay,
Tomahawk shows up like, I don't know who's paying for this.
It's not me, it's him, you know, like I'll take
seven drinks. Okay, here's seven drinks. I'm not paying for this?
Is that he is? But anybody with you, fred I know,
except that I'm not allowed to be any member of
any kind of country club. No one will accept me.
But but then we get up one day on there
(06:36):
and he's like, hey, do you want to see Paulina's
sister's house And I'm like not not really, Like does
she know we're coming or are we gonna go? Say hi? No? No?
So we go to Starbucks and then we drive and
we literally take this black suv that he drives and
park it in front of your sister's house and just
sit there and drink coffee. I'm like, should we go
knock on the door. He's like, oh, well no, they
(06:57):
don't know we're coming. I'm like, well then we're just
gonna say here, like we're the FBI surveillance man, like
the biggest Detroit radio personality sits outside of her house
sometimes and just takes a gander. We literally sat in
front of her home and just looked out the window.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, that's that sounds fine, Like, hey.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Motive, can we leave now because I think she's gonna
call the police? Yeah, if she doesn't think we are
the police.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, that's interesting. It's good to know he just lurks.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
It's a beautiful, beautiful neighborhood she lives in.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh it's so nice, very nice, very nice.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
But my guy, the guy's got to be going all
the Time's got to be moving all the time. Which
is why I can't believe he didn't get into this thing,
because I figured he called every person. There's nine hundred
people who get to vote for it. I figured he
talked to all of them already for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And also, do you how do he even know where
my sister lives.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I don't even know where she lives.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Because because her husband was friends with Cougar with Joe.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I'm aware of that.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But telling you Right's brother in law, I.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Know my brother in law, Sir, anyway, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I know that. How did you know where he lives? Answer?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
But like address wise, you know what I mean? Like that,
but I heard that. Mojo's like that. Love the man,
but he even knows everything. He knows all your secrets.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
What I'm a welder at a sheep matal factory. I
can build him a trophy now we're talking. I don't
have a trophy shop. But what about a custom granite
monument from Zoe the Mortician? Hello? Oh, Now I want
to know is Zoey the mortician? Is Zoe the mortician?
That this is another story? I want to know if
this is the same mortician? Do you remember this was
(08:26):
a little bit strange actually, but well, I don't mean
to be weird about it. But Benjmin's father, who is
a great friend of our show, who passed away many
years ago. I went to his funeral and I walked
into the funeral home and one of the first people
to gree to me was a very nice young lady
who is the listener of our show, who was the
mortician in charge of the day. I thought, this is weird. Yeah,
(08:52):
somebody's going to do it, like, hey, it's nice to
meet you. I wonder if that's the person is Zoe
the mortician? Is that the same person who so thoughtfully
took care of our friends? But that was a weird,
Like you don't normally I don't normally meet that person.
Yeah you know what I mean, Like, but yeah, that
was just ranging. But yeah, sure, why not? How about
a granite monument? Jason? Can you arrange for that? Sure?
So can you imagine like meeting a very influential person
(09:15):
in your life and it's like but not in the
way that you would have ever expected, Like also, yeah,
I know that. Yeah it was. It was very awkward.
You know. Oh I thought you were like I did
not shoot my shot with no way the more titian.
I wasn't like, oh oh you helped out, Oh what's
up girl? Like no, no, I was just like, oh,
oh hi, nice to meet you. I'm extremely sad right now,
(09:36):
but okay, yeah, I mean a granite monument would be nice.
But it's gotta be something I can ship, you know,
