in another sports story. You know how much I love
Chicago and Chicago wins, and how grateful I am to
(00:46):
be a part of the city and for our show
to have grown, you know, over the last fourteen fifteen years.
But I am embarrassed today for our city. I don't
know if you guys have heard this story. It happened
a couple of days ago, but a player for the
Arizona Diamondbacks was moved to tears during Tuesday's game against
the White Sox when a fan made a deeply offensive
comment about his late mother, who tragically died in a
(01:10):
car accident in twenty seventeen. Someone was heckling this guy
and he started crying and had to be consoled. And
I gotta tell you, like, it's not a good look,
and it's embarrassing. And again, this isn't kind of a
Cubs fan or what. Nothing it has to do with
the city. It's a terrible look. There's no reason why
anybody should be talking to anyone else about their their
(01:32):
deceased mother who died tragically. Guys, it's a game, it's
a sporting I'm so embarrassed. I see this story everywhere
in the last couple of days, and I was really
hoping that it didn't happen in Chicago. But the manager
of the Diamondbacks and teammates were rushed. They rushed in
to console the guy in the field. The fan has
been ejected or he was ejected at the time, and
has been slapped with an indefinite ban from all Major
(01:55):
League Baseball stadiums. Despite the incident, they were able to win.
I guess, yeah, yeah, they won four to one. In
that game. But I don't know what we're doing. Guys like, don't, don't.
It's a stupid game. Why are we heckling people about
deeply traumatic events?
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah, that's just below the belt, like perhaps some decency.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, no it's not. It's a terrible look. And yeah,
and moving on to something more positive. Because Kaylan you know,

Bumble is struggling as younger users abandoned online dating apps.
(03:41):
Companies like Bumble are now being forced to lay off
hundreds of workers and put a stronger emphasis on AI
to find compatible matches. Good, let's just let AI choose
who my future wife is going to be. That's what
could possibly go wrong. We should ask it. I should
ask AI when I Yeah, the kind of person I'm
looking for?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
H huh?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I think so Chad would know? Actually an extremely patient
person that would be one for all of us. Need
that someone who's maybe sedated twenty four to seven. Oh wow,
would also be someone who might get along well with me. Well,
I mean by choice.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yeah, listen to your date line.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
It's not me. The sedation a person who says, I
love you for you wake me up when it's over,
you know. And by it I mean the entire relationship. Now,
did you post a video I sent you, Jason because
of Sadie. It's not of me. I've never had this
problem and I never will. But did you post it? No?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
No yet, but I'm doing it right now.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Okay, let's get that up there at frendshiw radio dot com.
So there's an American sprinter named Chris Robinson who had
a very unique issue. He finished first in the four
hundred meter hurdles at the Golden Spike Meet on Tuesday,
despite spending the entire race trying to keep his wiener
in his shorts. Yes, this is a real story, and
(05:10):
there's a video to go with it. I wish I
had this problem, guys. I'm sorry. I can't walk from
here to the meeting. I just can't keep it in
my pants. Like, no, it's never happened to me. His
equipment malfunction occurred when he still had two hundred and
fifty meters to run the twenty four year old was
seen trying to adjust his shorts while continuing to run
at top speed, so he won the event. He still
(05:31):
came in first place, and they had to blur his
shorts in the replay. And if you're watching it live,
which I don't know who doesn't watch the Golden Spike meat,
But if you're watching a laugh, I guess you got
quite the show. But he literally is running at full
speed and the whole time he's trying to put it
back in his shorts.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Man, and then he falls at the end to make
it worse, and then it comes out again.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
What channel does this come on? Research purposes? I mean,
he tripped on it, That's why you fell. It's insane.
Calin have you seen this video? Jacent showed it to
you yet.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, I have seen it. He has had it on
a loop since.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
I got here, right, I'm trying to find the other version.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'll report back. We didn't need to put it on
all four screens in the studio. I suppose we got to.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Make sure a nice loop.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Yeah, we have every angle. And finally, in the biggest
stories of the day, would you go for somebody like
this at their ceremony, a bride and groom settled whose
last name they chare by playing a best of three
game of rock paper scissors at the altar, and the
groom lost, which means he takes her last name.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
What's the problem.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
I have no issue with? Mean you want to take
you want to take someone else's last name? You know, man, woman,
how you want to do it, that's up to you.
But would you do this? Would you risk your name
for the rest of your life on a rock paper
scissors game?
Speaker 4 (06:52):
No, I'll do a flip coin. I'll flip a coin, said,
I'm just kidding. No, that's really goofy. Like at that
point you all need to sit down and have a
conversation of like what are we gonna do? Like don't
don't do it over a game of whatever, like checker
is whatever it is.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
I mean, because you've got people online saying that it
was cute, and then you've got people online saying you're
doing rock paper scissors for like generational you know, I
mean that's true, Like for example, I am a Frederick.
My name is fred Frederick and which my mom loved
me when she named me them, and which people think
that is my name? By the way, it's like, okay,
(07:25):
but but my grandfather had three daughters, my mom being one,
so I and he kind of raised me like his son.
But I was not born with his last name. I
inherited his last name when my parents got divorced and
my mom changed our last names, so I was given
the opportunity, I guess, to then extend the family name.
(07:46):
So like, if I get married and have a kid,
and we choose to give the child my last name,
then that would be and it's a boy, then I
guess that extends the Frederick name. But as it stands,
I guess this part of the Frederick name dies with
me because as I'm not married and not having any kids.
So I mean, imagine if you if you cared about that,
which I guess they don't going up there and just
(08:07):
rock paper scissoring that away. I don't know. I don't
know if it's that serious, but some people take it
that way.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, I can see that I'm in the same boat.
The name will die with me, but that's okay.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Yeah, well, or other Fredericks and other Browns, so I
guess it will be okay, Yeah, the name will live on.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, I guess but no one will be as iconic
as us.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You know, well, well period, and maybe that's why you
should just end here.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's not going to get better.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Oh no, absolutely no, not in your kid they will.
There will never be a better Brown than Jason Brown.
That's true, No, there won't. It's National Strawberry Parfee, National
Leon Day, which means that we're six months away from Christmas,
not that we are celebrating the desk and legend Leon Rock.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
That day day.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I'm sorry. If you ask our friend Lyon Rodgers, he'll
tell you that is what it is. But we love him.
A National Catfish Day today, which he so we're talking
about the actual fish, yeah, not being catfished, Yes, the
fish which different day. They are ugly. There are a
lot of there's a lot of food out there that
I if you enjoy it and you've never really seen
(09:15):
what it looks like, I don't recommend, Like, if you're
a catfish fan, if you like a nice fried catfish
something like that, and for some reason you don't know
what a catfish looks like, don't go, don't do. There's
a fish called escalar that they'll serve at sushi restaurants.
They call it what they call it butterfish. Sometimes they
call it different stuff. It's delicious, but somebody, oh, a
(09:37):
guy named Mark Potter. You know Mark Potter, Jason, Oh yeah,
legendary Mark Potter. We were eating it one time at
a restaurant and he said to me, don't ever look
up what this thing looks like. Yeah, you know, I did.
You know I did, because I can't look away, Like
you can't say that you're like me, of all people.
You can't be like whatever you do, don't do this.
(09:59):
Don't such a stove. My hand is burned. I touched it. Yeah,
she is busted. Yeah. And so it's a delicious it's
a delicious delicacy. But you get in a lot of
sushi restaurants. But and it tastes so good. But but
he was right, looking at it is not helpful, you know,
in the process. But there's a lot of food like that.
Or I just didn't me. I don't need to see
(10:20):
it in its original form. Can you think of any
other examples? I mean, most meat, you don't like to
think about what it is you're actually consuming.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
It's all seafood for me, Like, I don't want anything
coming to my table that like still has eyes or
tail in a shell like that.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I love seafood like I mean, it's fine. I just
like it, you know, but.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Do you want to shell seafood? But do you want
to do you want to eat it off of the
like off the original carcass. I don't mind it. I'm
not like crazy. I don't order extra carcass. But bothered me.
I heard you, guys, I'll eat.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
The bone off the bone basically when I have.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
A chicken got the bone.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
At that point, I know I'm I'm a carnival carcass.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Girl went to dinner, you were you you upgraded the
extra carcass, and she knows I'm paying for it, So
carcass again. It's always like, you know, would you like, uh,
you know, did you want crab on top of that?
Or you know, did you want to scallop on the side. No,
I'll take extra carcass, of course she would. And people
(11:30):
argue with me about like foody people argue with me
about this all the time, that that that I'm missing
out because I don't like food that looks like its
original form. But I don't and and so I don't
need to see the eye of the I'm with youikiki.
I don't need to you don't need to look me
in the eye. No, I'm gonna say you don't need
to look me in the eye when I never mind,
that was gonna that was gonna cut out. Yeah, No,
(11:52):
I do want you to look at you well, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
I like
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That was that was going in a different direction.
