Yeah, I totally have that in my I know, Well,
we just got paid, didn't we.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Well, I guess we all get paid a different times.
So this this company is so weird. I don't even understand.
Is it because they can't afford to pay us all
at once or what? I don't know what?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yah, Yeah, they move some money around.

Speaker 5 (02:04):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
It kind of does feel like that sometimes. But good
morning everybody. Hope it was a great weekend today. On
the Progrum. We'll get to my biggest stories in just
a second. The entertainment reporting blogs this hour waiting by
the phone, he's new. Why did somebody get ghosted? We'll
get to that. Kiki's Court this morning bought Ump Bump girl,
you did not make the guest list. Also, have we
gotten any word on how our one went on our

(02:28):
newest affiliate? Do we even are we on there? Do

Speaker 6 (02:32):
I think it does?

Speaker 3 (02:33):
It?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Does we think it works? Okay, because guys, for those
of you who haven't heard, we welcome yet another new
city to our little circus, our little community of thirteen
listeners total, ladies and gentlemen. Mine not North Dakota is in.
I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Hey, dreams come true.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Man, they really do. Min not North Dakota. That's exactly right.
And I just I want to say good morning to
you guys. You're you're probably tuning in listening for a
show called Bob and Sherry, and you are not hearing that,
and I'm sorry about that. I'd like to apologize right now.
But Bob retired, and I don't know what Sherry's up to,
but you got us now, So good morning to mine. Now.

(03:13):
We're very excited to be there. You can always call
in text this show eight five five five one three five.
I'm waiting for the text. Where's Sherry? Where's Bob? I
don't know, but I do know that we're here now,
and well that's gotta be a good thing, right.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Yeah, And we're happy for Bob. It's time for you
to rest.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
Bob. When you say it like that, it implies that
it's like rest. You know he's got the pope.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
I mean, oh no, but like you know, retirement's a
big deal.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
You worked a long time. That's very hard.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
I think they're following a show that was on there
for thirty I think thirty seven years, and so I
have to tell you I don't think I'm going to
live another thirty seven years. So if you don't like
the show so far, don't worry it won't. It probably
won't last thirty seven years. There's that, right, Yeah, Bob, Bob, Yeah,

(04:09):
you're right. He deserves to do it. He's not the Pope.
Everything's fine with that. He just decided he didn't want
to do it anymore. So shout out to Bob and
his second act. He used to be my neighbor and Charlotte,
by the way, the guy is an absolute legend. Oh,
he's an absolute legend. Yeah. Well the show. The show
is based in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was on like
one hundred plus cities. It was a very successful show.
And yeah, he was my neighbor. And now look at this.

(04:30):
Now we're taking over his stations. This is crazy. But
good morning to mine. Not please don't text us where
Bobb is. I think he's on an island that he bought.
I don't know that's what he deserves, though, when you
do thirty seven years a show like that, I hope
he's on his own problem, not that kind of not
an Epstein island, but like an island of his own.
You know what I mean, like where he gets to
hang out with whoever Bob hangs out with, and I
hope Cherry goes and hangs out with him too. There.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, it's giving retirement, you know.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Put on your Tommy Bahama and just have a cocktail
before noon and figure it out.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Bob, go gamble, do something.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. But good morning to uh
to mine, not good morning to the air force base there?
And the B fifty two is that fly there? We
love you mine not, and please don't get too upset
about the Bob and sharing thing with your B fifty twos,
because it's it's fine, like everything's gonna be fine. We
don't we don't need any sort of military and you know,
intervention or anything.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Everything's gonna be okay, No.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
No, not those beefy The band was named after the airplane.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
I don't know it was an airplane.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I think the airplane copy of the band.

Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah they did, that's what it's good.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, okay, that's fine, we'll go. We'll go with that.
And now no one there listens to us, so we're
off to a great start. This is good. Let's do
my biggest stories next, and good morning, to mine not
and everybody else. The show is growing ever so slowly,
so so slowly. The friend show back in two minutes.
I mean, they really don't want me to read the
text these days, especially because we have like investigators and

(05:50):
cops and at the ie involved. Uh yeah, that's a
that's a real story. But then there's this person who
starts to show this morning by saying, put back, put
Bob back on this trash and so then I go
look and see, you've been texting us since January. We
didn't even know that we were going on in mine
out in January. So you don't even know who Bob is.
You never met Bob. You don't know Bob.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Shut up.

Speaker 7 (06:13):
Fred show is on Fred's biggest stories.

Speaker 8 (06:16):
Of the day.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean, you know, it's getting out of hand, you guys,
it's really getting out of hand. I will say, Uh,
you guys are awfully quiet about the the the wish
for Bob to come back.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I text that Actually she said, I'm tired.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
It's funny. Bob just texted me and he said, ha ha,
it was him. That was him. He's loving every minute
of this. Good morning everyone. We're doing our best over here.
But think twice before you get text him stupid stuff.
I'll put it that way. So the Oscar for the
last time. I'm Surekaylin has more on that. But despite
over five hundred movies released in twenty twenty four, the
average American only watched three of those five hundred movies.

(06:59):
Jason hasn't watched three movies of the last five thousand
movies that came out.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Literally not well.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
The only movie I saw that I think it was
nominated was Wicked. That was that I don't even know
what the other movies are about.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, no, but half of people haven't seen any of
the ten Best Picture Oscar nominees, none of them.

Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah, I was, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Look, though I'd have to look to it today because
I always feel that way. I felt that way for
a long time about the Oscars that I don't I
see that you know the nominees, and I'm like, you know,
I'm not sure if I need to watch this because
I don't know what I'm looking at.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
No, to me, more one looks good. The substance I
heard that's really good on my list, So on.

Speaker 9 (07:35):
My list last night of like, oh, like what should
me and my husband watch because we want to.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Watch new stuff. So the Oscars is the.

Speaker 9 (07:41):
Perfect place to see a whole list and just gather like, oh,
we should see that, Like Amelia Perez, I want to
see that one too.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
I haven't watched it.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Ooh, Conan's joke right at the actress, the lead actress.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
That was wild, some of the jokes.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Yeah, yeah, did he get political? Because I didn't get
to watch a whole lot of it last night, But
that was one of the reasons that we learned on Friday,
or that we had read that they picked him because
they didn't think he would get too political, which of
course everyone's so sensitive about right now.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Yeah, I feel like from what I saw, I had
to tune out because it was really boring.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
But from what I saw, he didn't.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
But he definitely talked directly at that actress who had
those old tweets about George Floyd, and it just made
me like it was I mean, it was uncomfortable because
she was sitting right there and he was talking right
at her. But yeah, I'll talk more about it, I
guess whatever there is to talk about.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, we have a huge problem too this morning because
Hulu had technical issues which ended the Oscars Live stream
just before the best Picture announcement, I mean, how could you?
Right before? How could you? I was tuned into Hulu,
I was ready to watch it, and then I wasn't
able to and then just outrange, I mean, I haven't

(08:47):
been this mad since I couldn't watch the Mike Tyson fite.
I was very upset. But anyway, they apologize for the experience.
It will make a full replay of the event available
as soon as possible, which does you no good because
now we already know what happened, so you ruined it
for me, man the whole thing. South Carolina is dealing
with over one hundred and seventy five wildfires that have

(09:07):
consumed approximately forty two hundred acres across various counties, including
Spartanburg Union Pickens County. Ian response to the fires, the
governor there has declared the state of emergency to bolster
firefighting efforts and ensure the safety of the affected communities.
They have prompted mandatory evacuations in several regions the Carolina

(09:28):
Forest near Myrtle Beach, where a significant blaze has threatened
numerous homes. Dry windy conditions have made the situation worse,
making containment efforts challenging for firefighters, and uncrewed spacecraft called
the Blue Ghost has successfully landed on the Moon on Sunday,
making Texas based Firefly Aerospace only the second private sector

(09:50):
company ever to complete such a feed. The lunar Lander
touchdown on the Moon's surface about three thirty am Eastern,
and it captured stunning footage during its descent, which was
way more exciting than the oscars. Way more exciting. But
I guess it's part of a privately owned fleet helping
NASA in its aim to return astronauts to the Moon

(10:10):
later this decade. More space, guys, because we love space.
Seven planets are expected to be seen in the Earth's
night sky on Friday, so Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Sat,
and Uranus and Neptune will all be visible from Earth
with the naked eye. Experts said, however, you would need
a good telescope to get a good look at the

(10:32):
so called planetary parade is what they're calling it. There's
a webcast hosted by the Virtual Telescope Project, which, okay,
that will help skywatchers and the curious find their favorite
planets in the sky. So you can go watch that
if you want to. The alignment happens when the planets
orbit the Sun on a relatively flat, disc shaped plane.

(10:53):
While the lineup is not unusual, it's rare for all
seven planets to line up at once and won't happen
again until twenty That's exciting.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
It is. But where's Butcher and Sanita doing?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, that's true, they're still on the space station. And
you know, we've sent, uh, several people have been up
to the space station, gone home, We've sent people. We've
sent like spacecrafts to the Moon and back right, but
we have not pulled through to get Butch and Sunita,
who have been up there for like seven months. Now.
You're a very good point.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
This is crazy. I thought they were.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I thought Elon was supposed to get him right away.
He's too busy firing people. I guess. I guess I
don't know. The Skype era is over for this is
terrible news. If those of you, any of you been
using Skype and you love it and you're like, what
am I gonna do? I guess Microsoft is trying to
move everybody over to teams. So Skype users can move
your counse to the team's app. Where the tech giant

(11:46):
notes that they can use many of the same features. So, yeah,
Skype is over. We're not doing that anymore. We're we're
moving over to teams. I guess TikTokers, here's here's the
latest thing today. I feel like every day it's which
thing from TikTok? Do we not need to do that
everybody is doing? And this is the one that you
may have seen. Have you heard of this airport theory?

Speaker 3 (12:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Okay, So there's a series of tiktoks about airport theory
which says that basically you can get through security in
fifteen minutes, consistently on average fifteen minutes, and so the
people who show up two hours early to the airport
are crazy because it will never take that long. And
so people are trying to prove or disprove this airport
theory that arriving at the airport only fifteen minutes in

(12:29):
advance of your flight to clear security will work, which
goes against the conventional wisdom of showing up hours in advance.
The problem is, I guess it's causing a bunch of
stress at the airport because people are doing this and realizing, wait,
I'm not going to make my flight, which is causing
problems in the security line. People are missing flights, and
now the airlines are like, hey, can we stop with this?

(12:51):
Like you really? You know, maybe if you're in I
don't know, Amarillo, Texas, you can get through security in
fifteen minutes, but not in Atlanta, not every time, and
just because you saw somebody on TikTok do it, So
how about we don't do this anymore and then everybody
makes their flights. Yeah, but I do feel like there
are two kinds of people in life, and I feel
like these people need to be aligned, because a misalignment

(13:13):
here is a serious issue. But there are the kind
of people that show up about an hour and a
half to two hours early. And there are the people
who think they can show up like if they arrive
when the flight starts boarding, then they'll make the flight
and be fine and no time is wasted. And I
am of the earlier camp. I'm of the camp where
you need to show up early because well, what's the

(13:34):
problem You show up early and that there's long lines
and whatever, and it takes forever. You're safe if you
get right through, then go enjoy a nice uh you know,
did Chilis to go, you know, or go get you
a bagel, or maybe have a nice beer at the airport.
You can drink a beer at any time in the airport.

(13:54):
There are no laws about drinking in the airport. You
can have a beer at eight thirty if you want to.
No one's gonna stop you. It's acceptable there. So I
don't know which which camp are you guys in. I
think Kalin's of the early camp. Jason's have liked to
go the day before camp.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
Yeah, I'm already there.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, she just doesn't get hotels and sleeps at the airport.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Yes, stay there.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yes, And then Paulina forgot she had a flight entirely.
So did I get all that right? Yep? Yeah, because
I figure if you go early, you know that way,
you're not stressed and everybody knows how this goes. You
go early, you get in, you pass security, then you
got to go to your gate. You have to see
that it's there, right okay. B twenty three, Okay, there

(14:39):
it is, it's up to it. B twenty three. It
says we're going to Phoenix. Says it right there? Okay, perfect,
It doesn't board for an hour. Now I can survey
my options, and I can see what there is to do.
Do I want to go to the bookstore. Do I
want to go buy a periodical? Do I want to
go and have a nice McDonald's or maybe go to
the macaroni grill. I haven't decided, but I have those

(15:01):
options because I've also been perusing my options as I
walk to the gate. The last thing you want to
do is just pick the first option you see, only
for your gate to be way far away and then
you realize you missed a better option on your way
to the gate. You'd never want that to happen. Okay,

(15:21):
A lot of feedback on that this morning. Good, So
don't do that. It's a national I want you to
be a happy day, which is encouraging you to do
something that makes other people happy. So I guess we're
relying on other people to make us happy today, which, yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
What do you guys do? What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (15:40):
What are you guys gonna do?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
I'm here.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
So far, You're gonna try a little harder than that.
It's National Anthem Day, okay, and National Read across America
Day aka Doctor Seuss's birthday. Today. The entertainer of Port
Kaitlin has that next team two minutes after says music
will do blogs, our audio journals and waiting by the phone.
Let's figure out if somebody is being ghosted and why

(16:12):
we'll do that. In about thirty minutes on the Fred Show,
we're back into Glad You're here.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
Caitlin's entertainer report is on the Fread Show.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
So, like Fred just mentioned, nearly half of Americans forty
eight percent to be exact, haven't seen any of the
ten Best Picture OSCAR nominees. But nominations apparently still do
influence viewing choices, with fifty four percent of people like
Paulina and her husband Hobby she just said, are more
likely to watch a movie after it receives a nomination
or a win.

Speaker 3 (16:41):
So let's of course talk Oscars. A Nora was the
big winner last night.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
Adrian Brody took home the coveted Best Actor award for
The Brutalist Kieran Culkin, who I just absolutely adore. One
Best Supporting Actor for a Real Pain. That was the
very first award of the night, which I was kind
of surprised about. And he talked about how his wife
promised that she would have another kid with him if
he won an award at a different show, and then
he won that award and she was like, damn, you

(17:07):
know what, we'll have four if you can actually secure
an Oscar win and he won it and he's like,
I haven't brought it up since, but it's time to
give me those four kids now, and she was like, no, no, no,
no no. Zoey s Aldania won Best Supporting Actress for
Amelia Perez and I think that she pretty much got that.
At all the award shows this season, Wicked was recognized

(17:27):
for Best Costumes and Best Production Design. Now here are
some highlights, and there weren't many. To be completely honest
with you, I mean, I can't lie. It wasn't that exciting.
Ariana Grande did open the show that was beautiful, singing
Somewhere over the Rainbow. She was in a red dress,
which was a nod to the ruby slippers from the
Wizard of Oz and I don't know if you guys
saw the back of her dress, but the other ruby

(17:49):
slipper that was lost was actually there was a literal
shoe on the back of her dress.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Like a high heel, which was really cool.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
She then saying background vocals for Cynthia Riva, who came
out absolutely crushed, defying gravity. They kind of like lifted
her up on a platform as she hit that.

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Big notes, big note, excuse me.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Lisa Ray and Dojakat did a James Bond tribute of
all the songs that have been smash hits from that.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Queen Latifa was there.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
She's sang EA's on down the Road from the Wiz
to honor late music producer Quincy Jones, who we just
recently lost. Adam Sandler and I'm using quotations crashed Conan
O'Brien's opening monologue and his basketball short.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
I love Adam Sandler, but I don't know. It wasn't
that funny to me.

Speaker 4 (18:30):
But yeah, he had one of those signature Adam outfits
on and he decided to leave the ceremony before now
before shouting shallabe right into Timothy's ear. Yes, Kylie was
right beside him, looking hot, And then, my goodness, did
charming Tatum and Zoe Kravitz move on quickly.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Now.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
I don't know if this is just what happens when.

Speaker 4 (18:48):
You're really really hot, that you just like have somebody
else ready, but they were just engaged and together, and
then Channing went public with his Australian model Inco Williams Beautiful.
They were seeing even a pre oscar party on Friday
night together, and then Zoe Kravitz was with actor Noah
Centenio and they were seen leaving a bar in a

(19:10):
very early hour of the morning.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
I'm sure that we're going to study.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Jalen or is it that they just it's been over
for a while and they just made the announcement to us,
So then they've been you know what I mean, like
because it looks that way A lot of times you
moved on fast, but maybe it's been over for months
and they, you know, just got together to make the
public statement and they've been seeing each other seeing other
people the whole time.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Probably, I mean, I think a lot of times in
a relationship someone is like mentally getting over it before
it actually ends, So that's totally a possibility.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
They also are like the best exes I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
She just said she's such a huge fan of him still,
and I believe that there's an upcoming movie that they
still are going to act in together, which is the
level of peace that I just don't know that I'll
ever you know attain But hey, I'm happy for them.
But yeah, I mean, did did you guys see any
other clips that may have that I may have missed
talking about?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
No, when Zoe won and then she was like she
took a couple of minutes like look for her mom
and they had like the cutest moment of like her
mom like cheering her fire seats.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
It was so cute. That was like my favorite thing
I saw.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah, Conan was okay.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
I mean, I know Jimmy Kimmel passed it, passed over it,
so then Conan did it. I didn't realize how tall
he was like us. That was one of my notes
is like he's six or five. He looked really tall.
The red carpet was good, But other than that, I feel.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Like I was like, eh, the firefighters shout out, Oh
I missed that.

Speaker 9 (20:25):
When it happened, he brought out someone yeah la fire
fighters Yeah, like the yeah yeah, like the HEADHN shows
or whatever, like yes, like the people.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
Who are yeah everything scouted them out and has them
do some jokes. All yeah, they've been doing their rounds.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
I wonder if it's like the same group of firefighters
that haven't been at every Award show or like if
they're taking turns. But yeah, he did talk about the
LA wildfires at the beginning as well.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So that was pretty much what happened at the Oscars.
If you miss any part of our show.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
The Fred Show, you can catch up on every single
thing if you just download the free new and improved
iHeart Radio app and searched The Fred Show on demand.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Kiki has more issues with restaurants. And you know what's
interesting is I do too, Okay, And so it's funny
that you you brought this up this morning because I've
noticed something too. It happened to me yesterday, but you
go first, So your latest this isn't this actually isn't
the latest grape. You've had this grape before about going
out to eat?

Speaker 10 (21:18):
Oh yes, and it happened this weekend again, which like,
we got to do something about this.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Man.

Speaker 10 (21:24):
We have to free our waiters from these long scripts
about whatever we're ordering and the history of the restaurant
and the history of the building and the history of America.
I don't want to hear it. I just want to order,
and I'm not trying. Like Kaylen, you would be very
proud of me. I sat there I've made eye contact

(21:45):
for forty five Mirica, little student, Yeah, forty five minutes
while I learned about the history of the cow that
I was about to eat, And I'm just like, why
are you doing this? Like I know you don't want
to do this, and I don't want you to do this,
so like, why are we doing this?

Speaker 1 (21:58):
I learned about this on on Bar Rescue, John Taffer
tell me about this. The reason they do that is
about perceived value. So like if they sit there and
talk to you about the cow from where the steaks
came from, and they give you like a twenty minute
spiel about how they're the only people in the world
that have access to these magic cows that came from Jupiter,
and they fly down on a space ship that bushets
to me that can't get on, and they come down

(22:20):
from space and they're so tender because they've never actually
been in gravity before or whatever whatever the story is.
It makes you think that whatever the price is is
more worthwhile. So then when they charge you seventy bucks
for a steak, you're like, well, I mean it's you know,
it's Mars Prime. You know nobody else has that Mars
Prime meat or whatever, like I love.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
You, but I don't care. I just want to eat.

Speaker 10 (22:42):
And then like she would come back and she was
we would be in a deep conversation with the people
at the table, and she was like, you know, excuse me, Okay,
so you wanted the garlic butter, and let me tell
you about the gardgic butter. It was churned by somebody's
grandma in nineteen seventy two weeks, holding on it until
you came in here today and now added special like girl,
I don't care, right, some.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Garlic butter and the butter twelve bucks. That's why, see
it is.

Speaker 10 (23:06):
It's so I mean, we got we gotta wrap it
up man word economy, bro please.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, I went to this restaurant last night. I went
by myself because I'm I'm traveling, and I went as
his restaurant and my friends like, you gotta go there
and sit at the bar and like order you know,
the taco's there and then whatever. So I'm sitting there
and he tells me this earlier in the day, so
then I'm like, I'm gonna go. So I went and
I'm eating or the food didn't come yet. I got

(23:31):
the beer, I guess and I took a picture of it,
and then my friend's like, oh no, wait, you got
to get the guacamole there too. You gotta get the guacamole.
So I say to the bartender. I'm like, hey, I
know I just ordered half the menu, but can I
get the guacamole too. My friend says it's good, and
she just kind of stares at me for a second,
and she goes, would you like that spicy extra spicy mild?
And I'm like, I don't know how spicy spicy and

(23:53):
she goes, well, I'm about to make it for you,
so it's whatever you want it to be. And she
wasn't like mean about it, but you could tell that
she was just sort of I guess it's table side guacamole,
but if you're at the bar, then the bartender has
to make it for you and they have a little
station behind the thing. But she just kind of looked
at me like really, because I mean, again, not rude

(24:14):
or anything, but she's just probably tired of making guacamole.
Plus you got other stuff to do. I did not
realize this was a table side guacamole situation. Those sorts
of things make me uncomfortable. I tend not to order
them because I feel like, you know, like the like
the table side caesar salad, the guy's gotta come and
it's getting a little tray and the you know, the
little cart, and it's just the whole thing, and they

(24:34):
it's like, you think, really think that guy wants to
do that. You really think the guy wants to like
chop up the guacamole right in front, you know, the
avocado right in front. He probably not. I just figured
it was back in a kitchen somewhere. They'd bring it
to me, and I immediately felt bad. As soon as
she started like chomping away at this thing instead of
you know, mixing drinks or whatever else she had to do,
I immediately felt bad. Now again, I think they can

(24:54):
charge you more because you know, if they do the
banana foster, the flombay or whatever by the table, then
other people see it, they want it, and then it
looks like it you know, a lot more work, so
more effort. I'm sure they make more tips from it.
So there's that, but I'm I was uncomfortable watching her
make like chop up my avocado right in front of me.
It's like it's like I can go back there and

(25:15):
do it. It's no problem. You know, they just wouldn't
let me knock. But here's the thing. This is where
I was going with this. Eight five five, five nine
one one three five you can call in Texas, same number.
The guacamole was fire, Okay, I don't And here's the
thing about fire guacamole too. By the way, there's not
really much to it. I mean I watched her do it.
There's avocado, there's lime, there's tomato, onion, and then jolapeno, pepper,

(25:41):
and there may have been like salt and something else.
No no garlic, no garlic, No garlic and no garlic no.
And so I've made that mistake before. No no garlic
in guacamole. And so but I'm looking at this, go
why is this so damn good? Because you didn't put
any kind of crazy crack in it or anything. I
just watched you make it. So I don't know why

(26:02):
I was there, but I got to think that this
woman in her private life, people are like make the guacamole,
Like make guacamole. Hey, you you work at this place,
bring over, make the guacamole and bring it over to
the party, or like when we did the Beni Hannah
thing a few weeks ago and the guy let me
do the the be the chef thing and let me
go back there and do that. I was like, your
friends must always be asking you to be like the

(26:25):
haibachi guy at the parties, right, because that you work
at Beni Hanna, and they must always be asking you
to do it. And he goes, yeah, they do, and
I tell him no, I'll do it for other people
if they hire me to do it, but I'm not
doing it for my friends. And so I just I wonder,
what is the thing whether it's what you do now
or what you did in your past, but what is
the thing that you now know how to do and
everybody wants you to do it because you do, and

(26:47):
you're like, uh, you know, like if you're a bar,
like for example, my brother in law is a bar.
He was a bartender, and so now my mom thinks
this is the greatest thing ever and she has the
guy like batch make margaritas before he leaves town and
put them in big jars and put him in her refrigerator,
like every drink has to be made by him because
he's a professional bartender, and he's really good at He's

(27:07):
better at it than the rest of us are. So
like the guy is trying to evolve.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
He's a computer programmer now, like I'm a boy.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
It so much my past. Okay, we don't have to
keep bringing that up. But yet that's all that. You know,
everyone wants him to be the bartender because it's like,
you know how to do it?

Speaker 6 (27:23):
Do you?

Speaker 1 (27:23):
Guys know how to do anything that everybody wants you
to do all the time.

Speaker 10 (27:26):
It's like you said it before, your family always expects
you to host like everything, like it's a baby shower,
here's give the mic to Fred, it's a funeral, Give
the mic to Fred. It's like, I don't want to
host this, like I just want to attend.

Speaker 1 (27:39):
No, that is true. For whatever reason, I have to
give the yulog and anyone and anyone's funeral, anyone's funeral.
It's like, hey, you'll do it. I'm like, what do
you mean i'll do it. They're like, well, you're a
public speaker. I'm like, no, I'm not right. I talk
to my friends in a microphone every day, and I
guess people listen to it. Not many but I guess
people listen to it, So why do I have to
go up there? It's a whole different thing, you know,
going up in front of a crowd of people, especially

(28:01):
if you're emotional about it or whatever. Why do I
have to be the one? Like, let somebody else did.
Surely somebody else Comanda, you go do it.

Speaker 10 (28:07):
You're a therapist who was hosting the parties before I
got in radio, Like who was who was at the
karaoke party before I became this?

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Because it's very stressful. Yes, Jason, I mean I feel
like you do this to yourself. But you become the
organizer and the party planner for everything, Like you basically
were Pauline's wedding planner and you didn't you didn't have
that role, but you you decided it on or either
I don't know, I don't know if you got kind
of encouraged into it or whatever, but you became the
wedding planner. You were the one ushering us all around

(28:37):
Las Vegas.

Speaker 8 (28:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
I totally do that to myself because I can't be
anywhere and have people do things for me, Like I
immediately feel uncomfortable to where I need to like stand
up and help, like that's a personal flaw that I'm working,
but no one asked me to do that.

Speaker 6 (28:53):
I just assumed the position.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Okay, so the table stick walk em only thing would
have been a real problem for you then, cause it's like.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, no, no, no, yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
I felt bad as susim. Oh you have to do it,
like I don't want it anymore. She's like, no, no, no,
it's okay, it's okay. I felt bad though. Let's talk
to Julie only click on Julie. Wait. I think I
just tried to call Julie.

Speaker 5 (29:14):
I'm good, Fred, how are you, guys, Julie, good morning.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
So you are a nurse. I can only imagine if
you're a nurse or a doctor what that means.

Speaker 11 (29:22):
Oh lord, well, you know, I try not to tell
people when i'm out and about that I'm a nurse,
or even if I go to the doctor, I don't
tell him I'm a nurse because I just don't want
people to know. It's not that I'm ashamed or anything.
But the next thing you know, they're like, hey, can
you look at this rash or can you look at
this I don't have this condition that and you're like

(29:44):
Oh Jesus lord, I am not here to look at
your body, you know, really uncomfortable, and it's like, how
do you say no? You know, because it's what you do.
But it's the same term. We're not doctors. We're not
here to die, know for for you or anything. So
that's exhausting.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Oh I'm sure all my doctor friends hate meek. I
do the same thing because I'm paranoid and I I
have issues. So if if there's anything weird going on,
I immediately have to get an answer. And I can
promise you that WebMD is not the answer I was
looking for. It's usually that I'm dying or dead. Usually
I'm dead. If I look at WebMD, I already died
and didn't know it because of a little bump on

(30:24):
my knee or whatever. But so then I have to
send pictures to my dermatologists friend. I mean, she must
hate this because it's like I'm not working right now. Bro, Like,
you'll go to your doctor or make an appointment and
pay me.

Speaker 11 (30:35):
You know, exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, what's the strangest thing Someone's asked you to look.

Speaker 11 (30:40):
At an abscess on their anal area?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh no, no, I'm not that good of a friend
with anybody. No, I'll drive you, not in Mike, if
you have an abscess on your butt, it won't be
in my car. We'll drive yours. But like, we'll go

people who uh, who have specialty careers or have like

(35:20):
specialty skills, and now everybody wants him to do it. Like,

our HVAC. Like where do you draw the line here?
Let me see here, Like my daughter is a school
for physical therapy and I'm already hitting her up. And yeah, well,

Looks like we're writing in our diaries, except we say
them a lot. We call him blogs and Kaylin, ye
should do one. Take it away, Thank you, dear blog.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
So on Friday night, my boyfriend surprised me with perhaps
the most Kaylin date of all time.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
And it is very much not for everyone, but I'm
a weirdo.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
So he told me a little while ago that we had,
you know, we were going on a date Friday, and
that there was some sort of activity happening before dinner.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
So of course, as a girl, you're like, what do
I wear?

Speaker 8 (39:53):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (39:55):
What kind of activity is it? Physical? Like?

Speaker 4 (39:57):
You know, you get stressed because I like but I
also want to be prepared, you know. So we pull
up to this dark street and we get out of
the cab and I see a pottery place and I
was like, are you taking me to do pottery?

Speaker 5 (40:16):
Oh? Boy?

Speaker 3 (40:17):
No he wasn't, Thank god. I was like, okay, I
don't want to do pottery right now.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Like he was trying to recreate the scene from Ghosts. Yeah,
he sits behind you and you know, molds the what
about me?

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Screams I want to do pottery? And then I was like,
are we doing like a sip and paint or whatever?

Speaker 4 (40:32):
And he was like no, And so he walks me
down and there's this dark studio and he starts calling
someone and they're not answering.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
I'm like, what the hell do you have me doing?

Speaker 4 (40:43):
And the person answers and they're like, we're not ready,
can you come back in ten minutes.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
So we go get a drink and I'm like panic.
I'm like, what the hell is going on?

Speaker 4 (40:49):
And I said are we both doing this activity? He
said no, just you, and I was like, what are
you doing the weird stuff?

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Are you going to make me do what?

Speaker 4 (40:58):
I was very stressed out, But then I peer into
the window and this woman answers, and I realized that
he set up so I could have a psychic reading. Done,
which I know is not your bed, Kiki, but it's
very much mine. I love it and I've been wanting one,
and he did his research. He found this woman named
Porscha on the internet who was supposed to be very good.

(41:18):
She was very good.

Speaker 3 (41:19):
I loved it.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
She was in her little just pink sweatsuit, you know,
like pink the brand Victoria's Secret.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
She was very casual. My girl Porscha, and.

Speaker 4 (41:26):
I had already gotten a little lit, so I was like, crap,
is this going to affect my reading? But I guess
he wanted to get us read together, and they don't
really like to do that because you don't know whose
energy you're picking up on, or if there's some like bad.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
News relationship wise, they don't want to read you together.

Speaker 4 (41:41):
So he had to sit out in a little hallway
while I got my little psychic reading.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
She does pottery and psychic reading to make a bowl.

Speaker 4 (41:52):
Behind me, you know, nah, yeah, Whoopie Goldberg was there.
But I was just thinking about how like that could
have gone very wrong for him, you know, if there
was some bad news. But I absolutely loved it, and
then we went to dinner and went out, but I
was really stressed.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
For a second, I was like, I don't really want
to make a bowl right now. I'm hungry.

Speaker 1 (42:12):
I mean, imagine if that woman who he paid for
the psychic had been like you need whoever you're seeing
right now? You need to dump that guy. Wait.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
No, it was a risky move and he was really
stressed about it. You could tell because afterwards he's.

Speaker 3 (42:24):
Like, well, how was it? Like what happened? And I
was like, it was really good and.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
I wasn't like giving him much and you could tell
he was just like the thoughts were going.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
He's like, well, I don't know, like what were the highlights?
And I was like, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (42:34):
She was really dead on. She asked me about stuff
that was, you know, going on with me, and he's oh, okay,
and I'm like why do you keep asking? He's like,
because you haven't only given me the answer I'm looking for.
And I'm like, what are you stressed about? Then she
said to leave you immediately, But no, it was it
was a good experience, thank god for him.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
But for a second, I was like, do you need
that is a bold move?

Speaker 1 (42:52):
Though? Yeah, Like I mean that could that could really
have gone the wrong way.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah, it could have.

Speaker 4 (42:57):
And also Portia girl, get some clean eggs, because there
were things that made me emotional, not about my boyfriend,
but like girl, I was wiping my tears on my sleeve.

Speaker 10 (43:04):
You know.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Well that's what the apron was for for the pottery.
Everybody knows that. I mean, come on, come on, wow,
all right, I point for Shane. Then I guess, yeah,
I didn't go poorly. Waiting by the phone is new
and next in two minutes. I've ever been left waiting
by the phone. It's the Fred Show. Hey Claire, good morning,

(43:26):
welcome to the show.

Speaker 3 (43:26):
How are you trying? All right?

Speaker 1 (43:28):
How are you doing?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Great?

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Thank you? Welcome to waiting by the phone. We're trying
to figure out what well, I mean, let's see though,
let's see what happens here, because this guy Mark, I
want to know how you met, about any dates you've
been on, and you know how those dates went and
where things are now. You got to kind of fill
us in if you would.

Speaker 12 (43:48):
Of course, so you met out of hinge, and honestly,
like there were so many green flags. We had tons
of like really smart, really flirty texting.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
We jumped on a phone call.

Speaker 12 (44:00):
Which was really great and you know, like he invited
me out to dinner, and honestly, it was to this
restaurant that I've been trying to get into for months,
and like when we met up in person, he was
even more impressive. Like I'm talking smart, funny, super hot, successful,
like the whole package, and like I definitely thought that,

(44:23):
you know, it could be a thing. But then after
dinner he was like super short and then kind of
ghosted me and like just eventually stop responding.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Okay, so this guy pulls out all the stops, you know,
goes to a restaurant you can't get into, impressed you
in person. You know, good looking, great conversation, You're attracted
to him, all these things, So this is these are
all good things. This is all the stuff you want
when you match with somebody on a dating app. But
then and it's hard to find that, right. But you
notice towards the end of the day things were sort

(44:53):
of fizzling a little bit, and then you haven't heard
from him since exactly. Okay, well, let's call let's call this,
get Mark and get him on the phone. You'll be
on the phone as well. We're going to ask these
questions for you at some point, you're welcome to jump
in on the call and hopefully we can straighten all
of this out, figure out what's going on, set you
guys up on another date, and we'll pay for that.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
All right, Okay, that sounds great.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Let's dig in. We'll find out what's going on for
two of waiting at the phone after Guy, Guy and
Bruno Mars. Back in a few minutes on The Fred Show,
Guy and Bruno Mars. It's the Fred Show.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Good morning.

Speaker 1 (45:21):
We're on the radio and the iHeart app live and anytime.
Search for The Fred Show on demand and make us
see number one pre seconds. We're greedy. Hey Claire, okay, okay,
welcome back. Let's call this guy Mark. You went on
one day. Yeah, you thought everything was great, attractive, interesting,
got you into a nice restaurant that you've been trying

(45:41):
to get into. I mean, he really tried to impress you,
or at least he was impressive as a person, but
the date kind of fizzled towards the end. You notice,
and then you haven't heard from him since, and you
want to know why.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Yeah, it's super weird.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
Well let's call him now. Good luck?

Speaker 3 (45:54):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Well, Hi, is this Mark? Hi, Mark, good morning. This
is Fred from the Fred's Show. I do have to
tell you that we are on the radio right now
and I would need your permission to continue with the call.
Can which that for a second? Do you mind?

Speaker 13 (46:15):
I'm actually kind of busy, okay, but.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
This won't take long. You're welcome to hang up anytime.
I just I'm hoping we can maybe get some information
from you about something. All right, sure, thank you, Thank
you very much. I know it's weird to get called
by the radio. We do appreciate it. We're calling on
behalf of a woman who says she met you on
the dating app and her name is Claire. Do you
remember Claire?

Speaker 13 (46:36):
Yeah, yeah, I remember Claire.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
Okay, Well, she called us and had a lot of
nice things to say about you about the date that
you guys went on, and she's trying to figure out
why you haven't reached out to her since todate because
her recollection is that it was a really successful date
and she was excited about you and wanted to see
you again. So what you know, what's kind of your
side of the story?

Speaker 13 (46:54):
A successful date? Oh man, there's no exaggeration. She is
maybe the most annoying eater I've ever come across, And
that alone, you know, ruined the day for me.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Annoying eater, like in what way? Like how she eats
or how she orders or what she eats?

Speaker 4 (47:10):
What?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
What do you mean?

Speaker 13 (47:12):
She's just so vocal like it wasn't even words. She
just makes these noises like I don't know, she makes
these sex noises with every bite.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
It was it was maddening. Okay, well she's enjoying herself, right,
I mean, what how aggressive is this?

Speaker 13 (47:29):
Like maybe some guys are into this, maybe, but it
was just so annoying. I can't even tell you every
single bite. She's got her eyes closed, and I'm like,
it was just the most annoying thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Ye are like that. Do you have a phone under
the table and you change your name to Claire or something? No,
I don't know if you eat like that, But I,
like many of us, are food focused. I think you know,
wait now, hold on.

Speaker 3 (48:05):
That's better than the final moments.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Well, I will say these days, you know, there are
some meals I would rather have over that experience. However,
so you're saying it was over the top, like not
just yet. I like the food, and she's expressive. Oh
it wasn't even okay's orgasming, like it was just ridiculous,
Like you don't like happiness, right, I mean, the only

(48:28):
time this would bother me is if it was embarrassing,
like if you're screaming out loudly.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Ah, thank god. I don't know, like.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
I know, I mean, I just you can't really hate
on somebody for being happy about, you know, their experience.

Speaker 11 (48:46):
She's very expresived it.

Speaker 13 (48:48):
Okay, I don't think I could possibly stand it. I
know it sounds like a small little thing.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Let me bring Claire and Brood. Let's talk to Claire.
What Claire, come on, what's your side of the story here?

Speaker 3 (48:58):
Oh my god, come on, that's crazy. I honestly, I.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
Had no idea that I did that, no idea like.

Speaker 1 (49:10):
This can't be that bad, right, like I think.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
Good.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
I was just just coming up now for the first time.
I mean, if she was like convulsing, well she's eating,
you know, from happiness, that kind of that kind of
you might be exaggerating.

Speaker 13 (49:26):
Look, it's just it's just that there's no way I
could stand this. I know it sounds like a little thing,
but it would drive me crazy. It already drove me crazy.

Speaker 1 (49:35):
You know, this kind of he's kind of rigid, man,
I got. I mean, I know we called you and
I'm trying to roast you, but like, I don't know.
I mean, if it was that aggressive, wouldn't you been
kicked out or something?

Speaker 13 (49:47):
You should and you should, you guys should take her
out to dinner.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
And she mean, I'm good, but I just want to
go with her, yeah, throughout dinner.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
I just I don't have a problem with somebody it
was like, embarrassingly over the top. I don't have a
problem with somebody who's expressive while they're enjoying something.

Speaker 13 (50:07):
I'm not going to ask her to change the way
she is. That's how she is, and that's fine. I
just cannot stand it.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Well, that's nice of you, because I don't think she's
going to But okay, look, so you don't want to
go out with her again. She liked the food too much.
This is a very strange complaint. But again, maybe maybe
it was embarrassing. I don't know. Again, I feel like
other people would have noticed this if it was this
this much over the top. But you're annoyed and you

(50:34):
have that right, so you don't want to go out
with her again. We'll pay for it.

Speaker 13 (50:36):
Absolutely not. I cannot possibly sit through another dinner with her.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Okay, fair enough, Claire, Hey, you do you you know?
I mean, if that's okay, if that's how you get
your rocks off, well that's good. We like proper manners.

Speaker 10 (50:51):
Not a perfect guy for her, you do. Yeah, the
feeder guy from the other day who likes to wait
a minute, I still have his number. You should hook
them up. We had a guy the other day.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
He likes seeing.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
For his women to eat.

Speaker 1 (51:07):
Yeah, yes, watch people. I think to forget about you. Mark,
we'll play for that to Claire. Don't you worry about it.
We're gonna set you up with the with the eater guy. Okay, yeah, no,
this is exciting. So you called for one reason and
we solved the problem in another way. I got a
date out of its hold on. I want you to
listen to him before we hook you up. It's a

(51:28):
little strange, but maybe it might be perfect. Well you
you mind something? Yeah, no, I see what you're thinking there.
I like the way this is ded but we'll we'll
work on that off here. Mark. Thank you for your time. Claire,
best of luck to you as well. The Entertainment Report
with Kaylin is up next and kick in for show
Bitch Shelley. It's this the first time? This is it
right here? The debut of Showby's Kiki for one hundred

(51:50):
Bucks on The Fred Show in ten minutes. Kaitlin's Entertainer
Report is on The Fread Show.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
I feel like this happens every year.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
But Michelle Tracked was left out of the in Memoriam
portion of the Oscars last night, just days after her
shocking death, and fans aren't very happy about it. So
the in Memoriam segment which kicked off with a touching
tribute from Morgan Freeman to Gene Hackman, who we also
just lost, and he also paid tribute to Maggie Smith,
James Earl Jones and David Lynch. However, Michelle wasn't included,

(52:21):
and people of course sounded off on social media.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Now others pointed out that she may have been left.

Speaker 4 (52:27):
Out because she was more of a TV actress, best
known for her roles in Gossip Girl and Buffy the
Vampire Slayer. However, she was in movies like Seventeen Again,
Ice Princess and Harriet the spy, So I feel like
they could have included her, and somebody probably dropped the
ball on that one.

Speaker 1 (52:43):
Yeah, I feel bad Forever's in charge of that because
it's like, until we get everybody, are we sure we
get everybody right? You know? I mean, like everybody always
miss someone.

Speaker 4 (52:54):
They always do, and I don't know, Like sometimes I'm like,
how are we still missing people? There's got to be
a better way, and I don't know what that better
way is. So I'm glad I'm not in charge of that,
but she should have been included now. In other Oscars news,
Doja Cat performed Shirley Bassie's or Bassis I don't know
how to say her lest name song Diamonds Are Forever,
that iconic song during the James Bond tribute in a

(53:16):
very pretty dress. She looked pretty much naked and then
the dress was covered in crystals, so the strapless custom
dress had more than one million swafsky crystals appearing to
float around her body.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
Very good look.

Speaker 4 (53:28):
And then along with the draping stones that covered her dress,
she also wore layers of diamonds, so she looked like
a million bucks. But a lot of people thought she
didn't sound great.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
Okay did you see this? You heard me? Okay? Oh
did you teet about it too? I missed it? No,
but it was in your head. Okay. So people agreed
with your thoughts in your head. Someone said, Doja sounds
like a dead cat.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
Others said, wow, dojah sounded terrible? Help? Oh, why the
f do they have Doja cat singing? Diamonds are forever?
Who booked this Doja Cat? That was actually a horrible
vocal performance. What the F were you thinking?

Speaker 3 (54:05):
So that's good, that's good. So she didn't sound great?

Speaker 1 (54:10):
Show?

Speaker 5 (54:11):
Right?

Speaker 4 (54:11):
No? They yeah, well we weren't on yesterday, so they
you know, they had to take their talents elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Don't worry. They text us when we're not on to
to tell us how much that they're going to hate
us on Monday. Right, it's great.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Yeah, they said we sound like a dead cat today.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
But and then this was the story that i's and
this is not a good history to make. So songwriter
Diane Warren tied the record for the most Oscar losses
without a win, so the most times to be nominated
but never securing the trophy. She was up for Best
Original Song for her track The Journey from the six
Triple eight, but she lost to el Mal from Amelia Perez,

(54:47):
and this loss marked her sixteenth of her career, which
ties her with this sound engineer named Greg P. Russell
for most official nominations lost without ever winning a Golden statue.

Speaker 3 (54:59):
Now that like, if I'm up for my sixteenth and
I'm like, tonight is the night.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
You guys like I'm going into a glass half full
trying to be so positive and sixteen losses, I'd be like.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Don't even nominate me as I'm good.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
I don't need to do this though, like like half
full guy, which I'm I'm you know, I'm trying to
be missing. Yeah, twenty twenty five, you have, mister your positivity.
That's quite a feat. I mean, it sucks to lose
that many times, but that's quite a feat. Think about
that you were one of the five or ten best
in a category sixteen times out of all the stuff
that's out there. I mean, that's that still isn't bad.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
Yeah, it's giving very much.

Speaker 4 (55:37):
It's just an honor to be nominated, which I think
they're lying about, right. I don't think anyone really means that,
But that is glass half full.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
You're right, I mean, yeah, I'd want to win. I'd
be annoyed and i'd probably stop going. But you know
the problem is if you get nominated and then the
one year you don't go, that's year you probably win.
Yeah right, you miss your moments.

Speaker 3 (55:55):
Yeah, you have to go.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
Get back up, girl. Next year's your year. I promise,
by the way, if you wanted to tell you.

Speaker 1 (56:02):
Promise that based on the statistics.

Speaker 4 (56:04):
But yeah, sure, hey, yeah, I believe in her seventeen times.
A charm is what they say at these things. If
you are interested in following us on social I know
we have a lot of new friends.

appreciate that. Yes, we we know, and we'll take the
haters too. It's fine, it's all good. But look, I've
just been good today so far. I've been so good
to say that I have mentioned well, I guess I
did mention one hater, Yeah, just one. Yeah, there's still
time in the day though okay, I almost did. It's
gonna take me a while to get used to doing this,

(56:46):
and that it's gonna take me while to get used
to going the other way.

Speaker 3 (56:50):
But noally now, well you know me, Sometimes I go
one way.

Speaker 1 (56:53):
I just completely convert myself here and I have to remember, no, wait,
that's not the way that I wanted. I wanted to
go the other way. So show Biz Shelley, today is

Where'd you go?

Speaker 6 (58:29):
Hold and try to put pick him back up?

I think my speaker is not working?

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Oh my gosh, so is it? Is it? Caesar? Issar?
It's see now if I say sorry? If I said
that from the beginning, then I would have been my
name is Caesar. They would have made fun of me,
because you know I like to make names fancy. But
now you're telling me I got it right the first okay, whatever.

Speaker 5 (58:59):

I'm an imports and exports. Technically I'm an exporter, but
when people ask me what I do, I always think
back to scientists.

See you're a drug dealer. That's cool. So more on
the exports side. You're saying, so live from Columbia, it says, sorry, okay,
it makes perfect sense. Now, all right, well that's okay.
We we we love a criminal around here. It's fine.
Imports and exports. That's all I think of when I
hear imports and exports are drugs.

Speaker 1 (01:03:57):
Okay, so the game is called tomorrow went one hundred
and fifty bucks. Keik more Kiki Kiki's Court will do
it nic more fresh show. Next right here, it's a
fresh show. It's Ki's court, all right, The honorable Kikilik
is here. Judge Kiki, Oh, I'm here, Yes, take it away.

Speaker 3 (01:04:18):
All right, let's get into the courtroom, it says Kiki.
My name is Mona.

Speaker 10 (01:04:22):
I've been married for two weeks and I'm already no
longer speaking to my mother in law. Throughout my wedding
planning process, she kept trying to add people to my
guest list. My husband and I paid for our entire
wedding by ourselves, and we can only afford one hundred people. Well,
on my wedding day, my husband and I had to
turn away twenty additional guests that my mother in law

(01:04:45):
invited instead of us enjoying our reception. We were arguing
and debating if we should just eat the additional costs
or tell the uninvited guests to go home. I stood
my ground and turned them all away, which resulted in
my mother in law throwing a fit at our wedding reception.
She stormed out, missing most of the night and cost

(01:05:05):
a complete scene. We haven't spoken, and now I'm wondering
if I made the right decision.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Yeah, okay, all right, judge, what say.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
You, Mona, I'm on your side.

Speaker 10 (01:05:16):
I am on your side with this because I've said
this to every wedding I've been in and every bride
I've stood beside.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
It's like, your.

Speaker 10 (01:05:24):
Wedding is not the family reunion. You know, your cousins
that you haven't seen in years. If you have no
direct communication with these people on a regular basis, you
should not feel pressure to add them to your guest list.

Speaker 3 (01:05:36):
And your wedding is a day for you and your husband.

Speaker 10 (01:05:39):
It is not about your mom's guest list, your grandma's
guest list, like they need to have a party.

Speaker 3 (01:05:44):
If they miss their their family, that bad.

Speaker 10 (01:05:46):
Because when you think about how expensive a wedding can cost,
would you pay seventy dollars to eat with cousin Sally
on a regular day?

Speaker 4 (01:05:53):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:05:54):
So why would I pay for a seventy dollars plate
for her to come to my wedding and we don't
even speak.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
So yeah, just so I'm clear, and you mentioned it,
I'm just want to be certain to have all the
proper details before I assess my position on this. This
is serious. But they paid for it, the parents didn't
pay for it.

Speaker 10 (01:06:11):
No, the bride and the groom paid for the wedding
and they can only afford four hundred people.

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
Yeah, well then no, then I didn't Pauline in your family,
wasn't it this way where they paid for their own guests.

Speaker 3 (01:06:23):
No, we paid for our guests, but we also didn't
have anything like you.

Speaker 9 (01:06:26):
Know, crazy over the top leg over budget kind of
like I don't know if this is how Mona's was.
But the thing is, though, even if they pay for
their own guests, like your mother in law or whatever,
your in law's pay for their own.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Guests, some people just want to do small weddings.

Speaker 9 (01:06:39):
So if you only have like a fifty person wedding,
which my best friend wants to do that, and then
you know his mother in law invites you know, the
family extend to the cousins or whatever from you know,
other state, then.

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Now the wedding's one hundred people, right or you know
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
I'm just more impressed they come up, they come up.
I'm more impressed they come up. I'm more impressed they
came up with four hundred people and they didn't include
all the random cousins and stuff like that. Because there's
no way. There's no way. I don't I wouldn't be
able to invite four hundred people.

Speaker 3 (01:07:03):
No, they invited one hundred people or one.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Hundred I don't know where I got four hundred from.
Either way, that's a lot of people I don't even
I guess it is. And the problem with being married
or getting married when you're older, you know, I'm in
my early forties or whatever is that Now I know
a lot of people and not everybody probably needs to
be at my wedding, but a lot of people probably
think they should be, right, you know what I mean. So,
like there would be a lot of people offended if

(01:07:28):
I had a wedding of any you know, size that
wasn't beyond just family and my sister, mom, dad, you know,
maybe a couple close friends. Even then though, I think
there'd be a lot of people in my life like
what do you mean? I didn't get invited to the wedding?

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
Like what do you mean?

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
And so I can see why at this point in
my life, I can see why older people when they
get married, or people who are not you know, twenty
something anymore or whatever, or second marriage is, I can
see why they just go off in the elope because
they don't have to deal with any of this. You
don't have to worry about who who got invited and
who didn't get invited. You don't have to have anyone
else's opinion on this, parents or other family members, because

(01:08:03):
it's like, look, I just went off and did it,
and it's done, and it's over, and nobody came. And
then maybe you have a party afterwards, and that's not
the expense of a wedding, and you can invite everybody
who wants to go, because I don't think you should
be obligated to pay for people that you don't want there.
It's your money. Now, I've heard of people in the
past where it's like we're paying for the wedding, but

(01:08:26):
then the parents on each side pay for their guests.
So like if they insist on Aunt Sally and they
insist on Uncle Rico or whatever else, then they can
pay for that. But the other issue with that is
if I wanted them, if I wanted somebody there, I
probably would have invited them. So like, why am I

(01:08:46):
giving you guys an extra guest list, like an extraneous
guest list. Why do you now get to change the
whole vibe in my wedding with a bunch of people.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:08:56):
The only way I.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
Can see that being a thing is if they if
the parents paid for it, because if you're gonna take
somebody else's money, then they're gonna get input on who
gets to go.

Speaker 8 (01:09:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:09:06):
I also did one thing that I don't know if
it's common or not, is I did tell my mom
and my mother in law like, if they wanted to invite,
let's just say like a really good friend or something,
or someone that they.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Worked with for twenty years.

Speaker 9 (01:09:17):
My mom has been the same job forever, so she's
really close to her coworkers who saw me grow up.
And I was like, oh, you know, if you want
to invite somebody, like, you know, please do. Obviously they
wouldn't be on my let's just say my list, right,
They're not top of mind for me. But I wanted
my mom in laws to.

Speaker 3 (01:09:30):
Invite people that maybe I don't know who they are,
but you.

Speaker 9 (01:09:33):
Know, haave my husband maybe like grew up with this person,
like a family friend that I don't know who that is,
you know, or my mom like I don't have a
lot of family here in the country, so they weren't
coming out from Poland, they were't gonna fly out here
for my wedding.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
And I was like, well, mom, who do you want
to invite?

Speaker 10 (01:09:47):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:09:47):
That is like family that I might not be aware
of or on my radar. Does she take them advantage? Yes,
she brought my high school English teacher.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
Oh yeah she was holding hands with Yes, me too,
of course, smart to have a destination wedding too, because
I think that weeds them out as well. Yes, oh yeah, yeah,
because not everyone's going to pay for that. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:10:07):
I would love to hear from the brides because I
can only like I get particular about a dinner party,
like is my dinner party?

Speaker 3 (01:10:14):
This is why I want at the table.

Speaker 10 (01:10:15):
So I can only imagine when it's the biggest day
of your life, you know, not the biggest day, but
you know one of the most important days of your life,
and you feel like you have to please everybody else.

Speaker 3 (01:10:25):
Absolutely not so.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Eight five five, five, nine one three five you can
call it text the same number. But you guys are
the jury in Kiki's court. I want to know, do
you do you think that you should do you think
that your parents should be able to inject guests onto
the guest list because well, so and so is important,
and so and so is important and whatever, you know,

(01:10:47):
as where you may favor friends or coworkers or whatever.
I mean, do you think that your family should get
some kind of input and who gets to go to
this stuff? Or do you think, no, it's my wedding.
I paid for it, and so I'll choose And if
that sets family, well, then I guess that's a me
problem and not a you problem, because I guess the
other problem here is that you know, maybe you're not
as close with certain people as your parents are. They

(01:11:09):
think they should be there. You'd rather invite someone who
you met more recently. It might cause long term damage.
You don't care right now, But your parents like, no,
they have to come, Like, come on, they they were
part of your upbringing or whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:11:21):
I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:11:21):
It's families complicated, No, it really is.

Speaker 10 (01:11:24):
But I think I think the fair thing is to maybe,
if you can afford it, offer your parents a table
and you say, listen, this is your table.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
Fill it with whoever you want to fill it with.
Outside of your table. The rest is my wedding. You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 10 (01:11:37):
I feel like that's more than fair. We're talking one
hundred dollars a plate at these some of these Maguet halls.

Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
It's expensive, very.

Speaker 1 (01:11:44):
Yeah, because I would even again, I would even say,
even if you were paying for people to come, like
you want to to Paulina's point, you want to invite
your coworkers. You want to invite people that you know.
I don't know that. Well, maybe I've never even met them.
I'm not paying for them. But I also, even if
you're paying for it, I don't even know if I
want them there, I don't know them.

Speaker 5 (01:12:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:05):
True, that's a good point. That's tricky.

Speaker 10 (01:12:08):
Yeah, they're just hanging out drinking my free bar, you know,
dance and doing an electric slide and I don't even
notice person.

Speaker 1 (01:12:15):
Right, That's what I'm saying, Like, even if you said, okay, fine,
you can pay, you can pay for fifty more people
if you want fifty more people to come, Like even
if you were to say that, okay, well, I don't
know these people. Like for example, my well, my parents
paid for my sister's wedding, but they then had input
on who got to go, and there were some people

(01:12:35):
that were like friends but also clients of my parents
business and stuff like that. They got invited, and that
took up space from because the number of guests didn't change,
the number of people who could come didn't change, but
they paid for it. So they were like, well, we're
inviting so and so and so. My sister couldn't say
very much. And then some of those people didn't show up,

(01:12:55):
and so, well, my parents were pissed, and they had
every reason to be. My sister there was more pissed
because she was like, well, we had to invite so
and so they didn't even come. And then these other
people that I did want to invite couldn't come because
we had to invite so and so. And I couldn't
say anything to you because it was your money. But
then here we go.

Speaker 3 (01:13:16):
Yeah, that's what it's respectful like to not show up
after you rsvpdas.

Speaker 9 (01:13:21):
I'm not talking about like like emergency, like the craziest
thing you've ever seen, you know, car flipped over, arms
falling off.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
Oh no, I'm serious.

Speaker 1 (01:13:28):
That might be a reason not to go to a wedding.
I might. I might be like, well wait a minute, though,
like could the ambulance have stopped you? Could you have like.

Speaker 3 (01:13:36):
Pulled up you know, like, what what do you mean
pull up on me and my wedding?

Speaker 1 (01:13:39):
A bunch of texts. My mother in law wanted people
my husband and I didn't want or no, we paid
for one hundred percent, and she threatened to keep the
money that they were going to give us. Oh, I
guess it's a gift. So we laughed at her. No
one's going to control my story, that's what this person said. Yeah,
I like that one. Yes, I had friends that had

(01:13:59):
their wedding in Colorado just to avoid having a bunch
of people come. Yeah. I think that's a very smart thing.
The further away you have it and the more expensive
it is, you got to realize that fewer people are
going to come, but you might be able to use
that to your advantage.

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Remember when Colleena tried Thanksgiving week?

Speaker 12 (01:14:16):
Oh I do.

Speaker 3 (01:14:18):
Again.

Speaker 1 (01:14:20):
For those of you who are new friends of this show,
Paulina got married what last two years ago? Last year?
I can't keep Well, you were pregnant, so it was yeah,
it was like a year and a half ago, right
last summer or anyway whatever, and and so the initial
plan was Mexico on Thanksgiving week, and then you were

(01:14:42):
offended that people wouldn't go. You were offended that people
were saying they couldn't go, And I'm like, Paulina, it's
Thanksgiving in Mexico, Like that's a very nice thing, except
most people want to spend Thanksgiving with their family. You're
asking people to go to your wedding on a holiday.
You can't be upset if people don't go. If you're
gonna have your if you're gonna have your wedding an
all inclusive sort in Mexico, that is going to cost
people a little bit of money. You also can't be

(01:15:04):
offended if they don't go.

Speaker 9 (01:15:06):
I know, I had to grow up from that mentality
because I also don't like Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (01:15:10):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (01:15:10):
No, that's I don't really care for it. But hey, listen,
it all worked out in the end in Vegas. So
you were the reverse.

Speaker 10 (01:15:15):
I thought it. I thought you planned it that way
so that maybe people can't come, right. It'll say it like, oh,
I know they won't come now because it's on this day.
But yeah, our's vp to.

Speaker 3 (01:15:25):
A wedding and I show up. That is extremely rude.

Speaker 10 (01:15:27):
But as this mother in law, like, she threw a
fit at the reception too, and now is not speaking
to her daughter in law because she turned people away.

Speaker 1 (01:15:35):
See let's talk to Eva. Eva's the one. Good morning,
by the way, good morning. So you're the one that
laughed at your your mother in law because you're like, no,
you're not inviting people to this wedding, especially if I'm
paying for it's my day exactly.

Speaker 13 (01:15:50):
My husband and I excuse me, paid for our wedding
one hundred percent and she was like, well, we're keeping
the twenty five hundred and we're not coming.

Speaker 1 (01:15:57):
And we're like okay, which it's gonna cost way more
than that.

Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
So what.

Speaker 8 (01:16:05):
Ended up coming The day was great, but it's just
like the threatening is not gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:16:10):
Work, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
Yes, yeah, And why is it up to you to
determine who comes to my stuff, like, especially if you're
not paying for it? Exactly? Yeah, Like, hey, thank you,
have a great day, you too, Bye bye. Look at
this all these people weddings, Man, it brings out all
kinds of drama, Like everyone's got a wedding story. Both
my sisters had holiday weddings and then wonder wondered why

(01:16:32):
people didn't come.

Speaker 9 (01:16:33):
That where y'all at right?

Speaker 1 (01:16:38):
I mean, forget that way come to Mexic. I had
my wedding on Christmas in Mexico and nobody showed up.
It's very offensive. I'm like, wait, what do you mean
you don't What do you mean you won't come?

Speaker 9 (01:16:49):
Beautiful though, Come on like Holidays in Mexico on the
beach in Kenkon.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Yeah, it does sound nice, except for the whole you know,
family is family tradition. Whatever QUI problem solve, I think
we all agree. If it ain't your day and you're
not paying for it, then you don't have a leg
to stand On the entertainer report, we'll do it in
two minutes. Headlines and fund SAT coming up. Someone texted

(01:17:14):
somebody that it makes sense, but about Kiki's corporate I'm
not sure what I would do with this. The person said,
seven oh eight. Let's normalize evaluating our relationships with the
person that we're receiving an invitation from, and understanding that
the invite is something. It is sometimes just an announcement.
It's okay to RSVP no, send a small gift and

(01:17:35):
save the couple some money. If you have to be
introduced to the brighter groom at the wedding, then maybe
you should RSVP no I agree, why am I getting
the invitation? If I get an invitation to a wedding,
I feel immediately pressured to go, because if I'm getting
the invitation, I assume that people want me there like
I don't. Otherwise, I think you would get like an

(01:17:56):
engagement announcement or something that was not inviting me to anything.

Speaker 10 (01:18:00):
But meeting the bride and groom for the first time
at their wedding to me would just feel so odd,
like why am I here unless I'm a date of
someone else?

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
Yeah, I think a good friend of mine, Caitlyn knows
him too, married a woman who I had never met
until I got to the wedding. They didn't date very
long and then they got married and I hadn't seen
the guy in months, but I knew he's one of
my best friends. I just hadn't seen him and they
got married within a year of dating. So I met
her at the wedding, but I could not go because
I didn't know her.

Speaker 10 (01:18:30):
But you know your friend, right, well, yeah, if you
don't know either party and you just worked with her
mom or worked with her dad twenty years old, and
then you feel like that, like you shouldn't be meeting
both the groom and the bride for the first time
at the wedding, like this is what.

Speaker 1 (01:18:44):
Is going on? Well, I think her point was if
you're if and I would understand this in a lot
of cases, if you're meeting, if you're going because you
know someone and you care about them and love them
enough to go to their wedding, and you're just now
meeting the person there with, then how close are you really?
And I think you could argue that, except some people
get you know, they move fast, and you know, I
don't see my best friends. Some of them I see

(01:19:05):
once a month, some of them I see once a year,
some of them I haven't seen in person in a
long time. But if they called me and asked me
to go to their wedding, I would go, well, yeah,
even if I didn't know who they were with.

Speaker 3 (01:19:14):
You're going to meet Big Tim for the first time
at our wedding, I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
Yeah, yes, suck if you picked Tim as Keky's boyfriend,
and at the rate we're going, that's true. Yeah.

Speaker 14 (01:19:21):
Heyling's entertainment report is on the press show Cops think
that actor Gene Hackman and his wife died actually about
nine days before their bodies were found in their new
Mexico home, so Santa Fe County Sheriff Aiden Mendoza said
in a press conference that actually happened on Friday after
the show, that a pathologist determined the final event recorded

(01:19:42):
on Jean's pacemaker occurred on February seventeenth.

Speaker 4 (01:19:45):
But remember they weren't found until I think like Wednesday
of last week, and maintenance workers discovered the bodies of
Jean and his wife Betsy in separate rooms of their
secluded home. Initial theories or that carbon monoxide poisoning may
have led to their deaths, but Aiden said that both
bodies tested negative for the gas. Although investigators think that
there are no signs of foul play or external trauma,

(01:20:07):
the cause of death remain a huge mystery. The couple
didn't have surveillance cameras inside or outside of their home,
so they're still very much trying to figure out what
the hell happened. And it's certainly a very insane story.
So you know, of course, I'll keep you up to
date switching gears, and I want you guys to know
that I am trying extremely hard not to talk about
the Kardashians like, it's my job.

Speaker 3 (01:20:28):
I'm trying not to, but this story is.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
Too big not to talk about because rumors have been
swirling that the fifteen year old's oldest grandchild, Pardashian grandchild
Mason Dissick fathered a secret baby, oh, fifteen years old,
Chris Jenner's oldest grandchild.

Speaker 1 (01:20:46):
And then I was trying to figure this one out, Caitlin,
I was like, how how is I saw the headline.
I'm like, how would that be possible? I guess it
is possible.

Speaker 3 (01:20:53):
It is certainly possible.

Speaker 4 (01:20:55):
And this all started, if you were wondering, after a
now deleted Reddit hosts seemed to show Mason doing one
of those Instagram q and as and saying that he
basically had an oopsie baby after what the account called
a failed birth control attempt.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):
And that is what this account said.

Speaker 4 (01:21:11):
Cut to now when Mason's mom, Courtney Kardashian is speaking
up in a rare moment, and she rarely speaks on
this stuff, but she said, I rarely address rumors or conspiracies,
regardless about myself or my family, but this is about
my child, and it feels wrong to let anyone think
for a second that these lies are remotely true.

Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
They are not.

Speaker 4 (01:21:29):
Mason does not have a child. These accounts that pretend
to be him are definitely not. They are fake. She
went on to note that her oldest child has kept
largely out of the spotlight which he has, saying, my
son really values his privacy, masking all media to please
be respectful. He's a kid with feelings and a beautiful
life ahead of him. Please stop spreading false narratives and
spinning lies. And then she went on to shame all

(01:21:51):
of the social media users that are talking about this,
saying to all the other people making videos about my kids, who,
by the way, are miners, please stop and leave them alone.

Speaker 3 (01:22:00):
It might have been one of those.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
Accounts like the Northwest account that very much pretends to
be Northwest.

Speaker 8 (01:22:04):
What is not?

Speaker 4 (01:22:05):
So she is saying Mason did not father a secret child.
Now do I think that she would admit if Mason
fathered a secret child.

Speaker 3 (01:22:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
The Kardashians are very powerful, but we have to go
off what she says and someone who did have another
kid or a kid rather Elon Musk, Yeah, so he
has another baby. Chevon zillis the Neuralink executive who already
has three kids with Elon, announced that they welcome to
fourth child into the world, a baby named Selden, and
Selden is Elon's fourteenth child, and like I said, fourth

(01:22:36):
with Chavon, following the births of twins Strider and Azure
in twenty twenty one and.

Speaker 3 (01:22:41):
Arcadia, who was born a year ago.

Speaker 4 (01:22:43):
Those are like normal compared to Pemdas's name or why
equals mc squared, I don't know what it is, but
this comes weeks after that other woman, Ashley Saint Clair,
took to exclaiming that she too had a baby with Elon,
his thirteenth last year.

Speaker 3 (01:22:56):
So he just keeps having more kids, and it's you know,
it's very interesting. And who watched S and L. You
said you saw Tate? Yeah, I definitely watched the performance.

Speaker 1 (01:23:05):
I saw a bunch of it, A good part of it. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:23:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:23:08):
So Shane Gillis hosted over the weekend and Tate McCrae
was the musical guest, and first of all, Shane Gillis
I think is funny and he flopped one hundred percent
in my opinion. He started doing like random stand up.
I felt like during his opening monologue instead of like,
I don't know, doing a monologue.

Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
It was very odd.

Speaker 4 (01:23:27):
The skits weren't very funny. But let me tell you, honey,
Tate carried that show on her back. She was giving body,
she was giving choreo, she was giving a chair dance.
All love Britney Spears the Stronger music video and Jason
and I feel like she very much is like aligned
her career with Brittany. They're similar y and she looks
so good in her penny loafers.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
In her little loafers and her little socks socks.

Speaker 13 (01:23:53):
I thought it was cute.

Speaker 6 (01:23:54):
I was cute, but I was like, we didn't need
little or they could have been like higher, like I
don't know, yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:24:01):
Really not? And yeah, fred one more? Or should I
save it for another time?

Speaker 1 (01:24:07):
Arrange what you do, what you eat, your world?

Speaker 3 (01:24:10):
Okay, take it.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
One more?

Speaker 3 (01:24:13):
All right?

Speaker 4 (01:24:13):
Well I want you to picture this. Mark Zuckerberg dressed
up as Benson Boone for his wife's fortieth birthday party.
Matter well no, if I had to see it, so
do you. So the Facebook co founder showed up in
a black tux. With the help of two assistants, he
ripped off the outfit in a reveal. Like Benson Boone

(01:24:33):
in it, Benson inspired blue jumpsuit, and just like his
performance at the Grammys, Benson's Mark jumped off a piano
and danced on stage. No flip though, but he posted
the video saying your wife only turns forty one. Shout
out to Benson Boone for the jumpsuit and new single,
and Benson reposted it.

Speaker 3 (01:24:50):
He's always doing stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:24:52):
And I just ripped. I mean, I will say Mark
Zuckerberg is like unusually ripped, like I don't know where
that He's.

Speaker 3 (01:24:57):
Also rich, so like give me an aar mez bag
or something thing and just keep it moving.

Speaker 1 (01:25:01):
Yeah, we're super rich guys. I don't know if they
like are just they have lots of extra time to
work out, or they think they're gonna live forever, or
I don't know what they're doing. But you know, Mark
Zuckerberg and Bezos same kind of thing. They went from
being dorky to dorky but ripped.

Speaker 3 (01:25:15):
I guess I leave it to Benson please.

Speaker 4 (01:25:18):

Speaker 1 (01:25:46):
It is against the law. It's considered animal abuse in
Switzerland if you only own one guinea pig, because the
animals are social creatures and they would be lonely by themselves.
