Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report and he's on the Bread Show.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Lizzo remember her.

Speaker 3 (00:05):
She got a legal win in court this week, and
all this happened last year. But a woman named Asha Daniels,
a former stylist for Lizzo's Big Girl Tour Company, felled
the lawsuit alleging racial and sexual harassment by members of
her management team, a hostile work environment, and unpaid overtime.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
This week, a California federal court throughout.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
The claims on the basis that Asia worked for Lizzo
while on tour in Europe, where US labor laws don't apply.
So at first when I read that, I was like, oh,
maybe it's still happened. But then also the California Federal
court said that she didn't show any evidence related to
her wardrobe design for Big Girl Tour Company, So I

(00:46):
don't know if it happened and it was a technicality
or she couldn't.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Maybe both things happened. She didn't provide enough evidence.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
But people in Lizo's camp are saying that she won't
stop fighting the false allegations made against her and.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Refuses to settle.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
So she still got a deal with some more legal
issues because remember her dancers. There was a whole mess
that she was in, So this is just the first
of those. Flavor Flave got booted from the Backshie Boys
dressing room at that Christmas Tree.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah that's a sentence. I don't know what year it
is at the Christmas Tree.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Lighting in New York Wednesday night, and Flave took to
exa complain to NBC, especially due to all of his
work for them during the Olympics. It turns out, though,
that all of this happened because of that fatal shooting
that we were just talking about of Brian Thompson, the
United Healthcare CEO, which went down about six blocks from
Rockefeller Center. Security was heightened everywhere, and Flave wasn't on

(01:36):
the list. But a rep for Flave says now that
they know he understands the heightened security, but maybe the
guard could have said that instead of NBC doesn't want
you here, you know, because he's friends with some of them.
And speaking of that, Kevin Richardson, who you know from
the Backstreet Boys or maybe you don't know him, but
he's that creepy one in the back with the eyebrows.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, oh fine, he's tall.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
The fine right, everybody for everyone.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
You're fine with a ponytail girl, I have no idea, Yes, yes, okay,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
That's not bad. Sometimes a tall, fine one. But he
said he would have stepped in. He has friends with
Flave and he didn't know he was getting kicked out.
But yeah, they kind of just be beefed up security
everywhere because they didn't know what was going on at
the time.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
And that's smart. Okay.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
So, if you're looking for a last minute stocking stuff
for the world's most dangerous toy in history is up
for auction, you can bid on the Radioactive Atomic Energy
Lab Kit, complete with real uranium.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
If you want to toy it, certainly? Is it one
more time? So well, do you want to know the
real name?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Tell me the title of the toy, like I can
just imagine a young Christopher asking my mom for this
the uranium kit for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I can picture that.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
So it's a radioactive Atomic Energy Lab kit, real uranium,
and it's officially known as the Gilbert You two thirty
eight Atomic Energy Laboratory.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
The toy is from the early nineteen fifties when we
didn't know as much as we do now.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Oh my god, back when atomic bombs were relatively new
if you can picture that, and it was marketed as
an educational toy for budding scientists. Fewer than five thousand
were ever made, making this a super rarefined. The toy,
of course, was discontinued in nineteen fifty one, with the
company blaming quote government restrictions and the difficulty of obtaining

(03:30):
materials the toy.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yes it has real uranium. You still have.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
We don't have to get into it right now. We
don't have time and we don't have to get into it.
But do yourself a favor and google, Like this is
going to sound weird, but if you're a grown up,
google hysterectomies, because for example, it's the same kind of
thought process. It's amazing what we what we're learning by
the day, and it's amazing what not that long ago
we didn't know and like what we thought was how

(03:58):
we thought we should treat medical problems and like like
like lobotomies, Like let me think.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
About it's scary.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Oh, like sixty years ago we were playing with nuclear
kids were playing with nuclear rocks. Yes, look how far
we've come. Now we have iPhones and uh and mcribs.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, I am.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
I'm glad that they discontinued that, but you can bid
on it if you want that toy. By the way,
