Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yes, Canlin's entertainment report. He's on the Fred Show. Guys,
we just absolutely do not deserve.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Dolly Parton, she just lost her husband of almost sixty
years and she's worried about us. This had me absolutely
hysterical yesterday, so she wrote to her fans, which she
called a love note to everyone who has reached out
to her.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
After the death of her late husband, Carl Dean.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
She wrote, thank you for all the messages, cards and
flowers you've sent me to pay your respects for.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
The loss of my beloved husband, Carl.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I can't reach out to you personally, but just know
that it has meant the world to me.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
He's in God's arms now and I'm okay with that.
I will always love you.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Jesus, Dolly, And like, I just know, I feel like
I know what kind of person she is, and I
just know that she wanted to let everyone know like
I'm okay with losing him, don't worry about me.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
And it's like, girlfriend, we're worried about you, Let us
worry about you. Dolly.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
She met Carl on May thirtieth, nineteen sixty six, which
means they were just months away from celebrating their fish
fifteen ninth anniversary when he died. So, yes, we've been
rounding up a little bit, but almost sixty years is
such an accomplishment. Later, Dolly posted a new song called
if You Hadn't Been There with the Captain.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Carl and I fell in.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Love when I was eighteen, he was twenty three, and
like all great love stories, they never end. They live
in memory and in song, and I dedicate this song
to him, and it's all about how she would never
have been where she is now if it wasn't for him.
And I just was moving in my feelings about that yesterday,
and we don't deserve her.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Okay, Jason, you are our sports reporter. Yeah, makes the
most sense. It was a very easy decision.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
So I feel like the rich thing people do is
they want to buy a sports.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Team when they get money.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
And obviously, like when you took on your sports reporter role,
you got a raise, and so I'm just wondering what team,
what sports team would you buy?

Speaker 1 (01:50):
That's a great question.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I would probably buy the Lakers. Oh, the Lakers,
So you would buy the Lakers.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
But that makes a lot of sense, yes, And I
like the yellow and purple.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I'm sure, they're very affordable on sale. Probably yeah, well,
I mean yeah, very likely, right, not a lot of
fans for the Lakers. So, oh, you know who to
buy it from? No, I'm being sarca. It's probably really expensive.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
You know how you buy it from? You buy it
from Jeanie Buss, who is the daughter of the previous owner,
doctor Jerry Buss. And fun of fact about Jeanie Bus,
She's married to the comedian j Moore and they live
in the same building, but on two different floors.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Oh right, right, right now.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
I I celebrate these sorts of people who who are
married and committed relationships that appear to be functional, but
they don't live on top of each other. I celebrate that.
I think there's logic to that. People think I'm crazy.
You guys have thought I was crazy for years, But
I think a two house marriage is completely reasonable.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah, I mean, could there be like a like a
fireman poll to go in between?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You need that, you.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Know, perhaps, except I would need to be the one
on the top sliding down the pole because you can't,
because I need I can pop in on you. But
I'm not necessarily sure that I want to get popped
in on. Got it, Got I got it, you know
what I mean? So, like gravity works in my favor
on that one. Otherwise, if you wanted to get to
my unit, you'd have to somehow climb the pole, which
is a lot harder to do.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Keep an equal that makes.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
It right, right, and we keep that thing greased up,
you know, So it's real hard to climb up, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, Okay, So the reason I asked that question, and
somehow we're talking about a fireman's pole.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
There's something weird about that. I don't think there's any
weird about that at all. Thing's weird at all. I
just wanted to let them know why I'm talking about this.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's just because Green Day front man Billy Joel Armstrong
has a joined fellow Oakland Rapper Oakland Legend Rapper too Short.
They are both from there, and they both bought a
part of the Oakland Ballers, the new Independent Pioneer League
team that is, as of this year, will be the
Bay's only professional baseball team. If you didn't know, the
are playing in Sacramento only for the next two years,

(04:03):
ahead of a plan moved to Vegas in twenty twenty
eight and then the Raiders left in twenty twenty for
Las Vegas. So I would be very fun to team
up with your friend and buy a part of a
sports team, he said. This is all about bringing families
to a ballgame. After the A's left, the town was heartbroken.
The ballers are going to bring good vibes back to
Oakland and the broader East Bay.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
So are you making a bit on the White Sox, Jason,
because I did hear that things are getting a little
more serious on the sale of that team. So I
was just curious if you were going to go in
on that.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Yeah, I'm leading the auction right now with my bed
so the auction.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, okay, Oh I see. So a bunch of rich
got here to get in the room.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
It's going to be a four billion, four billion, four billion,
four billion, four Hey can you do four point one?
Four point one? Four point one? What about you four
point two? You're not cheap four point three?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah exactly, I mean I say, well, I mean I'm
in it to win it. Oh good, good, well, congratulations, exciting, Thanks.
