(00:52):
talk to the people who are like, my kid's kind
of a dumbass. You say it like that, but you
know what I mean, Like, yeah, everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Knows Spreads show is on.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
And parents called and said their kids were dumb in
front of them, and then kids were like, mom, call,
I'm dumb. That's that's the kind of parent child relationship
that I'm looking for, you know what, I mean that
kind of honesty. I be real, you know what, son, daughter,
You're gonna be good at something, which might not be math.

(01:28):
I don't think everyone's supposed to be good at math.
You know. It's like when when you're in school and
you're expected to get AIDS and everything. You know, you're
expected to get good grades and everything, and it's like,
in retrospect, I get that you have to like meet
a minimum standard of like math or English or whatever.
Your basic understanding is of the tasks you know, science

(01:51):
or social studies or whatever, but maybe we should be
paying more attention to what people actually do well in
and then focusing on that, like you know. Then again,
I don't know, I didn't really get very good grades
in much of anything, so I guess my teachers would
have been like, well, we don't know what to focus
on for you though. But then, like in college, I
started doing well in English because like writing papers and

(02:11):
you know, I don't know, reading and writing and critical
thinking or whatever, and then some professor was like, hey,
you're pretty good at this, and that's all I needed
to hear. And then all of a sudden, I started
doing well and all that stuff, and then I became
an English major, and thank god I got this job,
because what the heck would I do with an English degree?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Paulina, Oh you have one too, never mind?

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, all right next to each other. I'm on your left.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
It was law school or English teacher, and there's nothing
wrong with either one of those options. But I don't
think I would have been I don't know I would
have been a good lawyer. I don't think I would
have been a very good English teacher. And so here
we are. It worked out, okay. But yeah, maybe you
don't have to be kids school. Yeah at school. Yeah,
you don't have to be good at everything. It's okay.

(02:51):
Just figure out what you are good at and then
get acceptable grades in those things, and then do really
well on the things that you are good at, and
then follow your path.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Look at me, look at you. I'm like, I'm like
Joel Ostein.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I'm a motivational I'm doctor Phil, I'm a motivational speaker.
I'm like Jerry Springer and his final word at the
end of the show. There's final thought. I think it
was called man and you went to you went to
Jerry Springer I did with your mom.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
My mom for her birthday. What was the topic of
the day or there were there more than one.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
I don't even remember. I remember it was cheating obviously.
I just remember like in the breaks, they would take
each of the people like to those little doors in
the back, and like the producers would be like talking
to them. So my thought is they were like trying
to like them up so they would really come back
all break, you know. And then a woman right in
front of us got her Jerry beads. So that was

(03:46):
memorable that I think it was in college.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay, so that's a great nice to do with mom.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Go see Jerry Springer together.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yeah, we used to watch it like if we were
ever in life, I was ever homesick or whatever, just
like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
We always thought it was funny. So then I took her.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
We was on topics of that before because the show
was produced in Chicago, so every now and again people
will call up for texts who were involved with the show.
But you know, I used to hear that they would
they would like producers, that's what they would do. They
would they would take the opposing parties and put them
in separate rooms and walk in and like be total instigators.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, you know, hey, I'm not supposed.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
To I'm not supposed to tell you this, but like
I know, I'm not like I'm not.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Supposed to say anything.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
But they're over there saying that you're like any idiot
that has like all like male and female parts. That's
what they're saying over there. Yeah, and this just this
was in the nineties, man, so that was that was wild.
They could say stuff that stuff, but that was a
crazy take away. They're saying, what about me? Huh oh,
you know, they're like they're saying they're saying, you're like
you slept with the entire time. I mean, I'm not

(04:48):
supposed to tell you that or whatever, but like that's
what they're saying. And they would go over there and
be like, you know what they're saying about you, I'm
not supposed to say this, and then by the time
they come out, they're completely charged.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
They're ready to go yeah, and then yeah, they would
go right at it.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
I do you remember.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
It's a lot of also like choreography, like you're doing
a lot of up down, up down, Jerry Jerry check
clap stand up, like It was like a lot of
like you work, but you're in when you're in the audience.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Hard work, yeah, uh huh yeah, work for it.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Morning everyone. Tuesday, July twenty ninth, The Fred Show's on.
Hi Kalin, good morning, Hi Jason Brad, Hi Pauline. He's
on vacation Bella. I means here shell be Shelley. It
will be here next hour. And she's got money. Seven
to fifty is the prize over one thousand wins, ten
straight wins in a row. That's what straight means in
that in that context, can you be the gorilla and

(05:34):
get your money? The Entertainment Report will do blogs and
the headlines this hour.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
What are you working on?

Speaker 5 (05:38):
K Sydney Sweeney is getting absolutely annihilated right now for
a new ad that she did and I'm going to
play it for you and we'll talk about it.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
I've become I'm afraid maybe I've become the overly competitive guy.
Like I'm I'm pretty competitive guy when it comes to like,
you know, work, and I don't know ratings and and
and like I don't know just doing well, I suppose
because if we don't, then we get fired. So that
you know, it's kind of that. So that's why you know,

(06:09):
listening to US is so important. You have many choices
in your radio listening, but when you tune into US,
it's important. Like our days are a little brighter, our
weeks are a little stronger. We get to keep our
job for another year. It's very exciting. But there's an
internal contest, and I guess it's a contest about about
something that's internal about business generating business. And I saw

(06:29):
the spreadsheet yesterday for this thing, and I'm like, this
isn't right. I'm number one. I should be at I'm
supposed to be at the top. Like, wait a minute,
there's stuff missing on this spreadsheet that I did. Wait
a minute, wait a minute, Mick Lee, it's not number one.
I'm number one, And so I like threw it. I
didn't throw a fit, but I wrote the guy and
I was like, wait a minute, this isn't right. And

(06:49):
I feel like I'm becoming that guy. But it's not right.
I don't even know what you get.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
I don't even care you guys.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Can you guys can have the prize, it doesn't matter.
I looked at the spreadsheet. I'm like, wait a minute,
it's missing stuff. Exactly why is it missing stuff?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Why?

Speaker 2 (07:06):
So then I wrote Jacob Matizi who works here, I
say it's missing stuff. I go, dude, what are you doing?
And then and then he wrote me back this whole thing.
Love it, thank you for keeping me on it. He
told me, like he feels bad about it, you don't
have to feel bad about it. It's a bunch of
clouds around here that don't want me to be a winner.
They don't want me to have nice things. This place

(07:28):
doesn't want me to have nice things. They've made it
very clear. So but is that Am I terrible for that?
Or like, is it it's not I'm not a rules guy,
Like I'm not the guy they're like rules.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
No, I'm so glad you don't talk like that.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, you know, we all know.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
The people that like you can't play a game with
them because if they're not winning, then they've got a
problem with it.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Yeah, and you don't play games at.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
All, Okay, every game, I really did.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
But in your friend group or like to eat a
work group, whoever, there's always the guy or the girl
that's just like it's the rule or and usually this
stuff starts to come out when if they're not winning,
and like the people who aren't winning, then they can't
have any fun, and then you can't have any fun
because they're not winning.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
We all know those people. I'm not that guy.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't care like A in a basic context, I
don't care who win. Like if we're playing h know,
I don't really care who wins. It doesn't really matter.
If we're playing Monopoly, nobody wins because nobody has anyone
ever seen the end of a Monopoly game ever?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Has anyone ever finished?

Speaker 2 (08:30):
I don't even know when you're done, Like what am
I done with Monopoly? When I have all the money
and you don't have any money because you can rant
and lease and airbnb you know in Verbo all your properties,
so this could go on forever. So I don't know
how you know when anyone won Monopoly. But yeah, no,
So I just I wonder, like should I feel bad
about this that I'm looking at this same I'm.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Like, this isn't this is not right. We can't have it,
Like we can't have this.

Speaker 6 (08:54):
I love that you did that you do yeah, because
I feel like I'm in that era right now where
it's like I'm just gonna start speaking up for myself,
and I feel like you kind of did that because
I think the old you would have just been like, Okay,
I guess knowing damn well, that you deserve that recognition,
You deserve that whatever that is, that prize whatever.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
I don't even think you want the prize, But I
just feel like, I.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Don't know what is the prize? A vacation day or something,
the trip trip you get a trip. Oh maybe I
want maybe I do want.

Speaker 3 (09:20):
To win like you guys can't have it.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, but this.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
Contest is also flawed because it is it's flawed.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Because we're supposed to do regardless.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Well, there's no not that said.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I think that we're being we're being we're being competitive
about something where certain people are going to be requested
more to do the thing than other people. It's not
more certain show well or certain we are the number
one show, so I mean we are in a good
position like somebody from but somebody somebody from this show
should win.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
You're fourth, You're fourth.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Number one, Damn, I really fell off.

Speaker 5 (10:02):
You used to be the whole literally number one endorser.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
Look at it.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, that's what our presidents had in a meeting agree
for you yes she was.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
I guess I didn't go to that meeting. Are you
the old guy?

Speaker 3 (10:13):
You were behind me?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yet I tended not to go to meetings with the
old guy. But anyway, okay, so yeah, but I'm just
looking at this this wreadsheet here, and I'm just saying, well, no,
wait a minute. So I'm proud of you, but I
don't want to be that guy, you know. So, but
I was that guy last night. I guess I was
sitting back at my couch watching, uh.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Watching what's the show I was watching? Did this is? Also?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
What was that? What this freaking show? It's on Netflix?
It's a stars show. It just oh Jesus, Fred Hayter
Lauren's back. The ego is strong this morning boy again
another day, another day of Fred Hayter Lauren listening to
the show again like I've never known anyone to be
so dedicated to something they hate so much?

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Thank you? Also, what what was the egotistical? I said?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
It was egotistical that we're number one? We are what
we're you gonna say?

Speaker 5 (11:04):
I was just gonna say, why would we not want
everyone to have like a decently sized ego and like
be like proud of themselves and work hard and think
that you do.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
I don't understand how that's any And.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
By the way, I do have an ego, and I
encourage everyone in radio and media and quite frankly, quite
frankly in life to have at least some semblance of
value for yourself.

Speaker 3 (11:24):
Doormat.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now there's a I think ego gets.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I mean, when people think of ego, they think of
someone who's obnoxious, and you know it is overplaying themselves.
I think you have to have a level of confidence,
especially if you're in the creative industry, because if you
don't think that what you're doing is good, then why
can you expect how can you expect anyone else to
think that?

Speaker 3 (11:42):
Then some hater is going to get to you.

Speaker 5 (11:43):
But if you got an ego, it won't because.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's like, it's like, at what point do you start
to feel bad about yourself for telling someone every day
that they suck that you're supporting Yeah, no, apparently not
apparently the day. Apparently not four hundred days of it.
So maybe it's four oh one, Maybe it's four oh one.
You decide. And the thing is, I have no problem
with this person. I've done nothing to this human being
what was the show that I was watching last night?

(12:07):
This is Gonna Bother Me Stars? We were on. I'm
on quite a rampage in the first ten minutes of
the show this morning. But I have a lot of
things in my mind.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
The show.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
It was a Stars show. It just hit Netflix. It's
about drugs. High Town maybe was that was called. There
were three seasons of it. It started I think it
was twenty twenty to twenty twenty two, twenty twenty four
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
In high Town.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Okay, it's a little corny, but it showed up on Netflix.
It's about some d about drug cops and Cape cod.
It was on Stars. A lot of drug there's a
lot of sex in this show. That's not why I
watch it, because it was like it was it's almost
like that show that I make fun of that you
not you, What's no tell me Lies, tell me Lies,
where like every moment of the show there's an occasion

(12:50):
to like get it on.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
But you said, that's not why I watch it, way
too fast, like we didn't ask you, and you were like,
there's a lot of it's not why I.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
Watched it, but it's not.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
No, it's not why I watched it because I mean
there was some hotness in it, some hotess, but like,
I don't know, it was like any opportunity there that
there is on this show for people to be naked
and dry humping, they take that opportunity and it's not necessary.
Just like can tell me lies, you'll be like, hey,
you want to go get lunchy out, let's go. Before long,
they're just like doing each other. It's like, why are

(13:18):
we doing each I mean, that's a great lunch, but
I don't know why, Like why do we have to
do that right now? But this is what's upsetting me.
It was a good show. I thought it was a
good show. We get to a very pivotal point at
the end of season three. I'm not going to say
anything in case you want to watch it, and then
I'm like okay, because like a lot of Netflix shows,
they'll buy or air the season of the show after

(13:38):
it's already aired on TV and there's been a little
bit of time between, right, Like so I don't know.
All American is an active show that they show on YouTube.
There's a bunch of shows on on on Netflix. Rather
that they after a few months after they air, they
put them up there, so I was like, okay, So
I guess the end of twenty twenty four was when

(13:59):
season three end, and it would have been on pace
for there to be a season four like sometime this
year or early next year. So I'm like okay. So
I get to the end of the three that are
on Netflix and I'm excited. I'm like, Okay, I'm into
this show and there are a lot of things kind of
came together, and I'm like, well, I wonder what happens next.
Only for me to go on the internet to search
when is there going to be a season four of
this show high Town? They canceled the show. So it

(14:21):
was devastating to me last night. Maybe that's why I
was in such a mood. I was devastated because I
was getting into the storyline and all this stuff happened
at the end of season three and you're like, oh
my god, this is a transformation in the show.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
This is exciting.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
They clearly had no idea they were going to get canceled,
and I don't know why they did.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
I guess maybe no one watched the show or whatever.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
But I'm very upset because there is no plan for
there to be another season of this show meeting it's over, Like,
we'll never know what was going to happen. Even if
they know, We'll never know because I'm assuming they had
a four season written, but we'll never know.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
Now.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
The only hope that I can I can come up
with is that maybe if this show because it was
I think it was top ten on Netflix yesterday, So
maybe if it grows in popularity on Netflix, maybe then
somebody buys it and then produces that, you know, further
seasons of it because it found popularity on Netflix. But
is there an example of that happening there? Probably is

(15:14):
that I can't think of it at the top of
my head, but like you would think that if a
show kind of died and then it goes on Netflix
and pops off, that Okay, well, wait minute, maybe we
should make another season then, because like and put it
on there. Maybe Netflix, I think. Hasn't Netflix bought shows
before and done that?

Speaker 3 (15:30):
I think?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
So, I'm sure someone's going to come up with an example.
But I was very upset about it, and that maybe
that was I'm like, wait a minute, so I'm never
gonna know now now what happens.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
That must be very upsetting too.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
When you when you've put, like you got three season
into a show and you think it's going well, and
then and again, I never heard about it while it
was airing on Stars. So maybe that means that it wasn't,
you know, that popular of a show and they should
have canceled it.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
But the other thing that this tells me is every
time you get in on Netflix is another show that
you never knew existed that had aired for years and
I never knew. Like, it's impossible to know every show.
It's impossible. Money, Yeah, it's impossible. There's just so much stuff.
It's like, I would never have known this existed if
it didn't show up on in like on the front
page of Netflix.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
So imagine all the stuff that's out.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
That we don't know about. Yeah, yeah, all right, well
there you go. That's my rant.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
So what did we cover? We covered ego, We covered.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
This contest in the office that I just don't think
is right at all. We covered the TV show that's
not going to be renewed that I'm that isn't renewed
that I'm very upset about because I got to the
end of it and I don't know Pauline. I guess
this is the greatest employee. And I heard Chicago history.
I didn't know this. I was in the meeting where
it was announced right there, and I didn't know. Well, well,

(16:46):
but you know I probably did.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I fight with you.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
But you know, when I'm in those meetings, I pretend
like I'm on vacation, as you should. Yeah, I pretend
like I'm in Tahiti when I'm in those meetings. So
I wasn't. Actually I was present in body, but not
in mind. It's the biggest store. There are a bunch
of examples. I guess prison Break was one. People are
saying they'd liked High Town. Someone's saying that they kept

(17:08):
their Star subscription only for high Town. And then there
was the one person who watched it. They listened to
us too, Cobra Kai Netflix, we bought that from YouTube.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Netflix did that with.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
Manifest, but they have asked it rested development got New Life.
Lucifer was another example. Okay, so it does happen where
a show doesn't necessarily do as well the first time
around them, then it gets popular on Netflix and then
they make more episodes.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
They should make more episodes of this show.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
A little cheesy, Like I couldn't tell you ever watch
a show and you're like sometimes I'm like this is
really really well done, and then then I'm like, okay,
but that was a lot of fake blood, you know
what I mean? Like IM like I am like, hold on, no,
wait a minute. Did the same person direct this episode
that directed the other way? Like I'm like, wow, this
is phenomenal acting like at times and then the other

(17:57):
time like this is really bad.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
But I I watched him, but I was very sad
to learn.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Or have you ever had the disappointment of watching a
series and you didn't realize that you were on the
last episode and then it's just over. Yes, that's devastating.
It's devastating. So now I look to see the only
problem with looking to see how many episodes are left
is then you kind of then you kind of know
that they're about to wrap up the story or like the.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Screen grab is something that's a spoiler. I hate when
they do that.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh that's not good either.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, but I've done that where I'm like, okay, good,
you know whatever, and I'm watching it. I'm having a
nice time, and I'll get a bunch of episode I'm
into this show, like I know what I'm gonna do
the next couple days, and then oh we're out of episodes.
That was it, and then in this case, there won't
be anymore. It's very upsetting. Anyway, I'm gonna start a
high town. We're gonna have like a little group and
we're gonna maybe we'll do like a a discord or something,

(18:47):
and we're gonna all get in there and it probably
already is one, and we're gonna talk about all of
our theories of what could have happened and what would
have happened. And then I'm gonna look up all the
actors on social media and I'm gonna DM them and
ask them what they think should have happened.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
It's gonna be great discord. I don't I don't actually know.
I think it's a chat room. I see people talk
about it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
I'm not a member of any disc I think it's
like a private chat room kind of thing, yea.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
And to get an invite to join people's discords, and
then it's like you can make different subject titles, so
like you could talk about like what you like eating,
what you're watching like whatever.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
But it's no, no, it's free but you had to
be like invited in kind of so I'd take a
little chat room kind of thing. But I thought, you know,
I thought that was it seemed like the right time
to use the discord.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, no, I think you used it right. I just
don't get it. But to get in.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
There headlines, guys, I got a couple of sad ones
to start. Unfortunately, a gunman killed at least four people
in a Manhattan office building on Monday evening. One of
them was an off duty New York City Police officers,
shot while exchanging fire with the shooter in the lobby.
The suspect then disappeared into the skyscraper and was found
later with a self inflicted gunshot wound. The Park Avenue
building houses the offices of some major financial firms, as

(19:53):
well as the National Football League. Security footage showed a
gunman walking outside the building carrying a long gun before
the shooting began. And for our Chicago fans and for
baseball fans everywhere on Monday, the Cubs lost one of
its all time great sports icons. The Chicago community did too,
Chicago Cubs legend Ryan Samberg. He passed away at the

(20:15):
age of sixty five. According to the franchise. He died
in hospice care following copulation complications in his ongoing battle
with prostate cancer. The news comes after Samberg announced his
prostate cancer had relapsed and spread throughout his body in
December of twenty twenty four. That guy was all over
all over town, very involved with the Cubs and all
kinds of different organizations, an amazing ambassador for the Cubs

(20:37):
and for the city and for baseball and the NFL
legend and University of Colorado football coach Dean Sanders.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
This is a little bit better news.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
He said he beat cancer after undergoing the full removal
of his bladder in May. He said that he will
continue to coach this season, including the season opener against
Georgia Tech. The fifty seven year old former NFL and
college star appeared yesterday press conference with this doctor who
said they removed the bladder and worked on the insertion
of a new bladder, and I am pleased to report

(21:07):
that the results in the surgery are that he has
cured from cancer. He said that he was diagnosed with
bladder cancer during a health checkup this spring. To everybody
at least with the story number two and story number three.
Go to the doctor and get checked on regularly so
you can catch this stuff early. Hopefully this is for you, Paulina,
the death of Hulk Hogan might mean the death of Hooters.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Wait wait, wait, two things are connected.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
As if Hulk Hogan's passing wasn't shocking and sad enough,
now you're talking about how he could have saved Hooters
and it may not happen now. A few months before
his death, wrestling icon Hulk Hogan's beer brand, Real American Beer,
was in talks to acquire Hooters intellectual property as part
of the Change Chapter eleven bankruptcy restructuring. Rather than taking
over the restaurants, he aimed to license the Hooter's name

(21:53):
for branded products, digital content, gaming, and consumer experiences. The
deal was seen as a way to preserve and modernize
the Below American brand while expanding Hogan's growing lifestyle portfolio. However,
legal and financial hurdles, including liquor laws, borrowing alcohol brands
from owning restaurants, and potential resistance from Hooters creditors made
the acquisition uncertain.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Paulina.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
This is where you step in, with all of your
millions that you got from being the biggest and best
employee in iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Well my free tells for the business and the one step.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
In as well, you step in right now now is
the time you can save Hooters.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
You can do it.

Speaker 6 (22:26):
I've been thinking about it because someone's got to do it.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
And if it's not me, then who you know?

Speaker 6 (22:31):
And here's the thing too, Like everyone talked about nostalgia,
all these things they want to just soak up in it,
why don't we just do that with Hooters. Why don't
we all collectively come together society and save Hooters because
that'll save us.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
Let's save Hooters and then all go there and watch
the new seasons of High Town that are going to
be made, because I'm going to say that.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
This is amazing, this is amazing.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
We can collab.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
We've done it.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
So this is a strange story Las Vegas and a
lot of sports stories this morning, but Las Vegas raderstar
Christian Wilkins was released from the team after an unfortunate
kissing incident in the team's locker room. A witness said
that the kiss was on the head, it was playful,
but the unnamed recipient took offense to the act and
then reported him to human resources. So NFL players are

(23:12):
subject to human resources, which is a little wild. I mean,
of course they are their employees and it's an organization.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
But okay.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
ESPN clarified that the football player's release from the team
was not entirely due to the kiss. A foot injury
from last October also held the defensive tackler back. The
dispute stem from the Raiders team requiring him to undergo
a second surgery for his injury, but he failed to
do so. He joined the team in twenty twenty four,
signed a four year contract one hundred and ten million
dollars eighty four million guaranteed. Party from the team has

(23:42):
cost him the remainder of his contract, with about thirty
five point two effectively voided. But he'll be okay. But
he kissed a guy on the head and got fired
from the NFL.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Wow. I didn't.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
I honestly didn't know you could do that, believe it
or not, Based on everything I know about you know
the stories in the NFL with the has few years,
I didn't realize that your behavior would actually get you
kicked off the team.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Of all of all the things that have happened a
lot of things you kissed someone on the forehead. You
kicked off the team.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
But the other stuff you can do, you can do
a lot of stuff you're not supposed to do. Famous
Yetti's Pizza in Wisconsin mistakenly used THHD infused cooking oil
last October and it left eighty five diners ages one
to ninety one, buzz dizzy and hallucinating. Three people went
to the hospital. Police teemed it an accident, and the
shop has since titan storage and apologized. I don't know

(24:32):
what they got a hold vat of THHD cooking oil for.
And I guess I'm surprised you don't get in more
trouble for that. But can you imagine if you didn't
know that you were consuming THHD and then you got high?
Like if you knew then I guess you might you
would expect it. But if you're ninety one years old, like,
is this the end? Is this?

Speaker 1 (24:52):
It? Is it happening now right this second?

Speaker 2 (24:54):
And a fifty four year old Texas man named Fritz
He mocked law enforcement on Facebook, calling outstanding arrest warrants
the adult version of Hide and Seek, And less than
ten days later, what do you think happened? They raided
his house, found him and arrested him on charges of
fraud and theft. No word and if he tagged his
location in the post, This guy fritz over here reminds

(25:15):
me a little bit of like if my mom tried
to taunt police on Facebook or Instagram. I love my
mom and she's a very smart lady, but I'm finding
that her tech skills are really sort of slipping, and
she doesn't really know who she's dming or who she's
commenting on and if it's public or private. So I
would encourage, you know, some of you who may not
be as sharp technically, you know, as it comes to

(25:36):
new technology, don't mock the police using social media, because
it turns out, whether you tag yourself or not, they
can probably go deep to dig in there and do
whatever they gotta do, or you know, or maybe they
look at your background and they see the sign, you know,
or like with your address on it or something, and
they're like, hmm, I bet he's at his house.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
But isn't this a tale so old?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
As time people taunt the police on the Internet and
then they get arrested days Further warrants were issued after
evidence was found during the search. He is currently being
held in jail on twelve thousand dollars bond. It's National
Chicken Wing Day. There you go see Hooters. Today's the
day to go. Yeah, nice today day Today is well.
The entertainment report is Allen's entertainment report. He's on The

(26:18):
Fresh Show.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Actress Sydney Sweeney is getting.

Speaker 5 (26:22):
Absolutely annihilated on the internet right now for her new
American Eagle denim ad. So here, I'm going to play
it for you and then we'll talk about all the
things that people are saying.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
Chans are pasta from parents to offspring, often determining traits
like higher color, personality and even eye color. My chains
are blue.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Sydney's Tweeny has great Keynes.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
What hold on, Hold on, Hold on.

Speaker 7 (26:50):
Hold on Chance are pasta from parents to aspring, often
determining traits.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
You know, it's crazy. I didn't. I was really excited
about this. I bet you what.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
I didn't know what. No, I didn't want to tell
you guys. I couldn't. I was on non disclosure, non disclosure.
But that's actually me doing doing my girl voice.

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh yeah, you know what it sounds like.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
It pasta from Santa Pasta Manda Blair.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
From parents to offspring, determining traits like her color, personality, leave.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
And eye color, sidneys tweety has very keen. What's funny
is they saved a lot of money. I did both
of the voices on that.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, no, they did save money, and that is your
girl voice. And I think that there's like a reason
for that.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
No teeth, no lips. So here are all.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
The layers of issues that we're having online.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
So obviously, first the one else smack you right in
the face is that that is very much a la
the early two thousands add formula.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Right, we take a hot girl, we sexualize.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
A product that has nothing to do with being sexual
at all, and we have her kind of sort of
make these talk like.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
That shes could be sexualized that you know, you see
people's curves and see their button for sure.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
But the conversation is like usually like ads nowaday, they
just take a different format. Typically it's just the early
two thousands formula. And someone said, someone wrote online, are
you trying to appeal to men by objectifying women to
increase women's gene sales? I guess, like, why are we?
They're women's genes? So I don't know what we're doing there,

(28:29):
but that's fine. That's really not the biggest issue. The
use of the words genes and the double meaning that
they played off of in this ad genes J E
A N S versus G E N E S. Okay,
So American Eagle is an iconic American brand. Many people
online are talking about that, how like choosing a blonde
with blue eyes, talking about how an American brand works,

(28:53):
and then also saying that genetics are passed down from
your parents to your offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality,
and eye color. People feel that that's not very inclusive,
especially now, so I am just the messenger.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
That is what people are saying online.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
For me, it's a bit of a reach.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
But I'm offend of about a haka there's an outcross.

Speaker 5 (29:13):
When yeah, I don't that's more upsetting to me. Yeah, well,
everyone has their thing, but it's not great. Yeah, I
don't think in this climate it's great. In my personal opinion.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
People are just saying, I really think they went that far?
You really think they meant you really think it was that.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
I don't know the answer, of course, because that's the thing.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
It's like we're gonna hi a little more to be
so out there and be like, you know, spreading this
quote message and I'm using quotation marks right. I feel
like it would be a little more hidden if that
was really.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
The situation, because why would I just put it in
your face.

Speaker 5 (29:43):
Yeah, I don't know that every single person that worked
on the commercial had mal intent.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
It's a commercial about jeans, and they're talking about jeans, Like,
I suppose you could make that reach.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
But I see why people would make them. But I
also don't. I also don't necessarily know that. I don't.
I don't know that they were that thoughtful about it.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
I mean, I think they were probably focused on her
looking hot in jeans, and I think that was so.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
I think the rest of it might be a little bit.

Speaker 6 (30:07):
But if you are like her PR team, wouldn't you
kind of be like, hey, maybe not like today, we
don't do this.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
That's my point is that the amount of people had
to pass through at times where we're losing inclusion programs people,
you know what this climate. I think it's tough to say,
I'm blonde hair, blue eyed, this is America, and we
passed down these traits. I don't know whatever. I mean,
that's what the internet is saying. The voice deeply offended
me as well. She doesn't talk like that, so come

(30:32):
on girl.

Speaker 7 (30:33):
Now.

Speaker 5 (30:33):
While we were talking about her, I do want to
mention that she was spotted jet skiing with a new
mystery man in Idaho.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
Of all places. But I loved we don't know who
this dude is.

Speaker 5 (30:41):
He was on the back of her jet ski and
I really liked that he was holding her. She was
the driver, and I really like that.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
That made me because a lot of times you see
that the little lady, you know, hanging on tight from
behind it, and in this case, she was like.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
Nope, you you, I'll drive.

Speaker 7 (30:57):
No.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Actually, what she said is yeah on, oh that's what
she said.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
Hayley Williams, who you most likely know from Paramore, dropped
a surprise album seventeen tracks.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
It's a solo album called Ego. I guess that's the
word of the day, just a.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Few days after debuting two songs from it at a
radio station in Nashville, but she didn't say what project
it was from. Fans can access the album and there's
a couple steps. Go to her website, enter a sixteen
digit code that you can get from buying something from
her hair dye company, Good Die Young's New Drops. So
you have to buy one of her products, which is hey,
business woman, you have to buy a hair dye to

(31:34):
get the code.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
Okay, well, listen.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
We can all be offended by what we want to
be and that's America. It's my job to give you
things that piss you off. And lastly, Real Quick actor
and podcaster Jack Shepherd said that he and his wife,
actress Christian Bell, let their daughters, Lincoln age twelve and Delta,
age ten, swear at home if it's called for and
only when they're.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
Respectful and it stays in the house.

Speaker 5 (31:56):
He says, swearing is simply just noises that come out
of your mouth, which children should understand and assign meaning
to themselves, with boundaries like not using them at school
or in restaurants. In general, they just focus on embracing
honesty and openness in their parenting. They prioritize modeling, conflict resolution,
apologizing in front of their kids, which I love, and
discussing tough topics like addiction and relationships without shame.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
So I want them to adopt me. I love them
very much.

Speaker 5 (32:22):
By the way, if you want to catch up on
anything you missed from our show, just type the Fred
Show on demand and if you don't mindsett this as
a preset on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (32:31):
The commercial was a copy of Brooks Shield.

Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yes it was yes what I wear? So please stop
texts yeah yeah, oh no I know, not you.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
I didn't know. No no no no saying that no
no not.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I don't think that I wasn't talking.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
To you don't know, Okay, well I don't know.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
You know what's interesting, I mean this from like a
very genuine perspective, is that people point things out to
me sometimes from their viewpoint when it comes to pop culture,
that I wouldn't have known to understand if someone hadn't
pointed it out to me, right like, they'll be like,
well that's not good and here's why, and and they're
sharing it from their perspective. So then I now a

(33:08):
perspective that I wouldn't see. Yeah, because I'm a you
know whatever, I'm me, and I see things from my
viewpoint of course, and so sometimes I'm educated about it
and I go, oh wow, okay, I can see why
that's upsetting. But then sometimes it can be hard to tell.
The difference between is are you sharing it from your
perspective and you're offended, so then I should be offended

(33:28):
too because it's offensive, or or are people making too
big of a deal out of something that wasn't intended
to be offensive?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
If this is a if this is a play on
an eighties.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Commercial, then odds are it's not intended to generate the
reaction that some people are having, you know what I mean. So,
like I would not have known to be offended by that, Yeah,
but yet I sometimes don't know to be offended by
things that I don't see because I see them from
my perspective, if that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
But also, was that the intention in the eighties, which
is why it was in the eighties?

Speaker 3 (33:59):
And should we be ringing it back? I think is
the conversation.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
And I think as long as you're respectful to other
people's feelings, then we can all just say I see
things from our filter and share and be respectful and
then you can make your own decision, you know.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
Other out and stuff.

Speaker 6 (34:12):
And I think that's why you're respected for it, because
you're open to the conversation, you.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Know what I mean. Yeah, sometimes it can be hard
whether it's this or other things to know because you've
got you've got rage bait, you've got people out there
who are like generating offense where no offense was intended.
And then you've also got things that seem benign to
a lot of people that then you learn, well, wait
a minute, that that's not benign and that's actually very hurtful.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
But I don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Unfortunately, it's like a lot of things where I think
people sort of maybe misuse the opportunity some people do
because now it's hard to know. It can be hard
to know the difference if it doesn't target you directly
between that is bad and I'm making it bad.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
I think if it doesn't target you directly, then we
should leave it to the people who feel offended by it,
you know, to have their feelings about it.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I guess, But I guess that's what I'm saying is
I don't know what offense. I sometimes don't know when
to be offended. Well, you don't need to be offended.
Is something that doesn't personally offend you. But I'm just saying,
let people if they have their feelings, we can just
let them say them and they can have it. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know it's all good. Let's do blogs. Next, we'll
do stay or Go. We'll debate the relationship drama seven
hundred and fifty bucks with showbis. Shelley in the showdown,
