I gotta do everything in the right order.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Good morning.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
If I don't do things in the right order, and
my OCD gets all thrown off, and then I don't
remember my spiel. The same thing with waiting by the phone.
If I don't say the whole spiel in the right order,
then the whole thing gets messed up. She'll be Shelley
with money next hour. I believe it's six hundred bucks.
Belahamin's here on the phone and the text sheep. As
I walked in this morning, she comes sprinting out of
her studio, no, no word of anything, and then stands

(01:40):
in front of the door with her arms crossed because
apparently she was the bouncer for the casita. But I
didn't know the bit.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I told her to do that, but I didn't tell
her to run.

Speaker 6 (01:48):
But I was like, I, dare you to tick chuck
Fred's I d and she was brave and she did it.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
She did, but I hadn't had a sip of coffee.
She gets here a little before me. Yeah, and she
has a lot more energy than I do. I think
it's just natural, it's just within her. I need a minute,
you know, like I just I need a minute.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
She almost got bounced.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, move, why you're up. I got to take a
little sip of coffee. I gotta sit down. I got
I gotta just sort of get I gotta I gotta authenticate,
you know, I got to authenticate. So I gotta have
all my top secret documents.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
I'm very serious about birthdays. I know, I know, got
to do their job. She's a bouncer. She took it seriously.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
A new waiting metaphone is coming up next hour and
and then we will address what can we say if
you listen to Waiting met the phone on Friday, you
should listen to our show at seven thirty central, eight
thirty eastern right around there, right right in there until then. No, no,
not no, don't let leave and then come back right now.

(02:49):
That's what I want you to do. I want you
to turn the radio off now and then come back.
Just turn it off. Don't even honestly, does everyone now
turn the radio? They don't even bother with the next
hour and a half. There's no per visit whatsoever. Yeah,
so listen to the whole thing. I think that was implied.
But be sure you're listening loudly at at seven point

(03:10):
thirty rank it witness what part of your vocabulary is
turn the radio off you're supposed to leave it on
twenty four to seven.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I started at that time.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yes, I'm highlighting everyone's as quick as you. Okay, well
I think they got it, but yeah, No, it's you're
supposed to listen to the Community Access show that Sunday mornings. Guys,
I mean you're supposed to listen to Ryan Seacrest countdown
the forty biggest songs in the nation.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
What are you doing the whole week of work into
that shows what.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Ryan secrets coming down to the forty biggest songs in
the nation? Are you? Are you assiting on that show too?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
My girl?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Anyway, let me get through my spiel, y'all throw me
off man through my thing anyway. Leading on the phone,
we haven't follow up from the woman from waiting by
the phone on Friday who was ghosted by the ghost.
She has a theory that she wants to share with us,
and we haven't decided collectively as a group yet if
we're going to indulge in this or not. I think,

(04:14):
if I know everybody, I think we're likely to indulge
in this and then probably like touch the stove and
burn ourselves again and then get people all upset with
us again.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, y not Yeah, I'm down to clown. Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Okay, good good headlines, biggest stories of the day and
blogs and the Entertainment Report this hour? What are you
working on?

Speaker 6 (04:32):
K Zenda's mom posted an interesting story on Instagram and
I can't tell if she's throwing shade or not, but
it was about the Euphoria series finale.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
What would you? I mean, I think I know, but
eight five five five one three five maybe I think
I think I know what most people would do in
this situation, but I guess, like I want to know
how extreme you would get. But this story's gone viral
this morning. A mom bought her daughter a used Honda
and paid cash for it as a college graduation gift
as its graduation season, and instead of being grateful, the

(05:05):
daughter complained that the car wasn't good enough and asked
her mother to sell it and buy her a Mercedes instead.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Girl with hand no money, right, that's that's.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
The problem that you know that, that's the issue that
being a girl. No, that's the issue.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, the bicycles. I was six.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
My parents if my parents, and my parents were very
generous with with with us, with my sister and I
and I probably had no idea at the time just
how generous. And now I do and I'm very grateful,
but very but they were you there.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I was every day house me.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
I can't get a sentence out today.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's like I feel like I'm in church and I'm
like generous, very general, you know you know what I mean. Man,
listen at seven thirty. I feel like I'm being evangelized,
right Jason, Jason ungrateful?

Speaker 8 (06:14):
Honey, Jason, I'm trying to start maybe trying to fly
to stand playing man hold bunch of.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Trying to fly the plane.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Man.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
Anyway, what would you do?

Speaker 1 (06:33):
What? What?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
What do you think your parents would do? What would
you do as parents? If you were generous enough to
give your your child a car free and clear? Here
you go, you graduated college. Here is a car new
to you that you don't have to pay for, only
for your kid to turn around and say, no, I
want a better one. So the mom did refuse, and

(06:55):
then took to social media for advice. For advice, most
commenters sided with the saying the daughters sounded entitled and
should appreciate receiving a free car, especially since many graduates
don't get one at all. A Honda is considered a reliable,
practical vehicle, while Mercedes would be far more expensive to
buy and sure and maintain. The mother thought that she
was giving a generous graduation gift, and she did, but

(07:15):
her daughter wants a luxury car instead. Online, most people
felt the daughter was being ungrateful and the mom should
stick with the Honda. I think that if that were me,
if I had pulled that, the Honda gets sold and
I get nothing.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Absolutely yes, that's the correct way.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
And my parents weren't that they weren't like gangster gangster,
but like they would have been so upset with me,
and rightfully so that here, here you are. Here is
a car that is that you don't have to pay
for here it is not one payment, nothing, And so
drive away, drive away out of my house and go
get a job. And if you want a Mercedes, then

(07:52):
here you go. Here's a Honda. I don't know how
much this caused, twenty five dollars, twenty thousand, whatever, this
car cost fifteen doesn't matter. You got that. So you
want a Mercedes is gonna cost two or three times
that much? I got idea. Drive the Honda to your
job and make some money and then buy the car
that you can afford when you can afford it. But
here is something to get you started, right. Is there

(08:13):
any other way to see this?

Speaker 5 (08:15):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (08:15):
No, that she would be walking for the summer in
the foreseeable future. She would not have access to my
uber or accounts or anything like that, because at this
point you need to teach your child to be at
the least bit grateful for what you've done and to
ask for a Mercedes Rush out of high school. You
can't afford to put gas in it. Let me tell
you're gonna crash it. You're gonna crash it. You're not
gonna be able to keep up the maintenance. They all

(08:36):
change is two hundred dollars. Like girl, No, absolutely not,
she'd have nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I can't imagine. I simply can't. And then it makes
me wonder, like, what else is this person pushed back on?
And I'm not saying it's the mom's fault, but like,
really like that just to come out of nowhere and
be like, Nah, Handa is not good enough. I want
a Mercedes. This is the first time this has ever happened.
I wonder with this young Lady Paulina, What would Mama
Marta have done? If I think you would have ceased

(09:04):
to the car would have ceased to exist, and you
would have ceased to exist. Remember when you you wouldn't
have made it to your thirty thirtieth birthday today or
whatever we're pretending it is.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
Remember when you went on your Poland trip from visit
tourism visit Poland.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
I recall, yeah, months ago, Yeah, I would be living.
You would have gotten sent back to the home land.
My mom boarded you.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
She she thrived me so many time, went on the farm.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes, she threatened me, like that's where I'm gonna go,
like if I don't behave or whatever.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
So if I.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Pulled that on her.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Yes, it would be like one way ticket, you know,
get my citizenship, Like it would be that Like she
did not play with me.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
She called my grandma so many times. I mean, oh yeah, oh.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
So your your grandma from seven thousand miles away was
the discipline area. Yes, she would rain hell on you
even though she was seven thousand miles away.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Oh yes, and somehow it worked though I worked.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Every time I was like, I'm not moving to Poland,
Like that's not happening, I'm getting in trouble.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And then Bob Sched will get on the phone and
then it would be like, if you don't get right,
I'm going to get on a lot of airlines and
three days I'll be there. Three days I'll be in
to whoop your body.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Literally, I was so scared of her. I'm really terrified.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah. That was kind of like my grandfather too, Like
if he had to get involved, it was very rare,
but he had this like very stoic way of I
think this is where I get it from. Like if
he if he was upset, he didn't yell, he didn't
get he didn't like, you know, throw anything, he didn't
like beat me up. He'd just look at me a
certain way and tell me he was disappointed. And that
was the that was crushing. Like my mom could scream

(10:31):
at me and be like and I'd be like, Okay,
you know that sucks, but whatever. My grandfather, if she
had to call him Fritz, you call him Fritz and
now we all boy, Now I've now I done? Did it?
I did? Jason? Can you imagine rejecting this level of generosity?

Speaker 7 (10:47):
So I didn't directly reject my first car but I
almost totaled it like a couple of months after I
got it, oh, just because I was being reckless and
so oh my gosh. I still remember my mom screaming
at me in the middle of this street.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
When she got there.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
My dad would be directly, did you have a street
racer face that we didn't know about? Literally? So were you?
Were you in two Fast and Furious eighteen?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Honestly I thought I was.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
I thought my car could fly, and I took it
down this street that had like all these like crazy
unpaved potholes, and so the car just went flying and
like like the hubcap ended up in someone's front yard.
Like my engine was like off, like it was nuts,
Like absolutely came off. Yeah, like it was.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
It was like.

Speaker 7 (11:34):
Hanging and like like hitting the ground like it was nuts.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Like I destroyed my Ford Focus and were.

Speaker 5 (11:44):
No.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
They ended up being able to fix it.

Speaker 7 (11:45):
It wasn't completely totaled, but for the whole summer I
had to drive a nineteen ninety four Ford Explorer with
no air and my Dad's like, between the gas money,
you're gonna spend your entire little paycheck, You're making a
jewel pushing carts on gas and you're not gonna have
any area be sweating your butt off all summer. That
is enough, you know, torture for you for doing that.

(12:06):
And I felt so bad like afterwards. So it did
teach me, but yeah, that was not a good experience.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Maybe that should be the topic one of these days
is how did your parents teach you a lesson? So
you have to drive a car with no AC all summer?
Awful because you'd mess up your car. Yeah, it was awful. Wow, Jase,
I didn't know you were such a rebel.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, I was trying to take your drift out here
in these streets.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
I had no idea. Yeah, Hey, Brian, how you doing? Man?

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Jared?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
How are you? Friend? Brian? Good morning? What would you
do if you gave you do you have children?

Speaker 5 (12:37):
I've got three. I've got a fifteen year old, a
thirteen year old and a three year old.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
All right, the fifteen year old turned sixteen, and you
buy he or she just a whatever. It's not a
fancy car, it's a car. It will get him around.
And I'm sure Brian, your kids would never resist that.
But if they did, what is you just take it back?

Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah, take the car back, use that money, go on
a nice bake for myself, send my child selfies, you.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Kick back on the beach, and you know wherever in
kankun It's like every.

Speaker 5 (13:09):
Single one of these, I'll be in Bora, Bora.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
There you go. Every single drink I drink is one
last tank of gas that you're getting for this car
that no longer exists.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Yeah, I mean, I mean absolutely, But I'm on the
same I'm on the same wavelength as you. Fred. I
think that this problem probably started much earlier, because, yeah,
you nip it in the butt soon and early on,
and you teach your kids how to be thankful for things,
and you can avoid situations like this. My daughter, who's

(13:39):
turning sixteen in fifteen days, actually started her first job
two days ago.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Wow, what is the job?

Speaker 5 (13:47):
She works at a lawn and power tool place.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Hell, yeah, lawn and powered tools. That's probably where she
could get a job. And so she was resourceful, right,
even though that's probably not the sexiest job or the
one that she wanted to do, But that's who will
pay her the money money, right, Right.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
It's practical, and it's teaching her some responsibility, that's.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Right, and then she'll be able to work on a
carburetor too, which is exciting. Thank you, Brian, have a
good day you two. F Yeah. I don't want to
blame it on the mom or whatever, but the fact
that she doesn't know what to do in this situation,
and that she's gone to the internet to ask it
just makes me think that maybe this this unfortunately the
daughter's been working her over for a while, and it's
got to be hard as a parent, you know, because

(14:26):
you love your kid, you and maybe I don't know
anything about this situation. Maybe she just always wanted her
kid to have more than she did. But that creates entitlement,
even though you're trying to do the right thing, and
you never want your child to not have what you
didn't tell you know what I mean. But then at
the same time, how do you instill that without making
them spoiled brats? Because you see it all the time.
You see parents who have the best intentions. They're like,

(14:48):
you know, I didn't have my college paid for. I
have my car paid for. You know, I had to struggle.
I don't want my kids to struggle because I made it.
But then you kind of want them to struggle a
little bit because and that's how they learn to be
more grateful and appreciative coming from the guy who doesn't
have any kids.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yea, I think we're seeing that now, like the effects
of very soft parenting in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
But okay, yes, well what about you?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
I mean you you didn't I know Mama Marta and
Paulina worked really hard first generation to provide you with
a life that you didn't have everything, but you had
more than she did. And I think we would all
agree that you're super grateful for that. But then, so
how do you with Gigi, who's only two and a
half or whatever? But how do you, like will you
will you be easier on her than your mom was
on you? Or will you be as hard or will

(15:35):
you be harder?

Speaker 4 (15:36):
I feel like this is going to be the hardest
battle of my life because, like you said, I want
to give her everything. I want to give her the
world right, and I also know that that can come
with the negative side of it, like you mentioned, where
it's like, well then is she going to be spoiled
and titled this and that? So I'm trying to find
a balance. And my husband and I we fight every
day about this because we have different parenting styles already
and she don't everything. No, he's not, and I really yeah,

(15:57):
he is like firm this that no means know and
she knows how to work me so so good. She
wants to go to the bathtubs, she wants to go downstairs,
whatever she wants, We're going.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
And I's so old. I get it.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
She's really cute, so she is a beautiful chat she's
just so hard.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I also don't. He's not wrong.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
I think where I struggle is I don't want the meltdowns, right,
I don't want the hard part of it. So he's like,
so what, You're just gonna give her whatever she wants
and then deal with it later. That's not how it works.
So he's not wrong with that. And I struggle with
it every single date.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, yeah, I see it with my my sister and
brother in law sometimes two and their great parents. But
it's like sometimes it's easier just to do the thing
because and then you don't have to deal with the
next fifteen twenty minutes of what you know, collapsing in
that movie you know, yeah, right, whatever of dramatic event
takes place next, Yeah exactly. Anyway, all right, well, so
you just what you're saying is in fourteen years, she's

(16:50):
gonna call me when the hand is not good enough. Yeah, exactly,
and she wants the rolls Royce the o she can
call Uncle Fred. How old will Uncle Fred be? Then
Uncle Fred might be dead. I don't know. Fourteen years
from now we need you, buddy. I'll be in Bora
Bora with the guy that just called a minute ago.
Friend's Biggest stories of the day. So you may have
seen the video has gone viral. Frontier Airlines flight from

(17:13):
Puerto Rico to Chicago had to make an emergency landing
in Miami after Paulina freaked out that she wasn't in
the casino. He had a bad bunny show. A passenger
allegedly tried to open an exit door in mid air
because he wants it off. The plane authority to say
he ignored flat attendant's orders and then rushed toward the
cockpit and tried to get inside. Several passengers jumped in

(17:33):
and restrained him. He was charged with misdemeanor battery, and
the flight later continued on to Chicago. The FAA is
investigating the incident. Yeah, a bunch of dudes were like
in the video just on top of this guy trying
to subdue him. I think they like zip tied his
or I don't know what they did, but I feel like,
and we've said this before, like in my case, I'm

(17:53):
no hero, but knowing what we now know is possible
with the airplane, if anyone's tacking up, I'm tackling you,
like I am jumping up. I'm jumping up from the
middle seed thirty seven A or B, I guess it
would be And I am tackling you. And I am
not a hero, and I'm not a tough guy. I'm
a big human being. So that you know, I could

(18:14):
probably lay on top of you and you wouldn't be
able to move, and that would be nice for everyone
else on the plane. But like, what are my what's
the alternative there? Like I get I get my butt beat.
Yeah maybe, but like, okay, but at least at least
you tied up. You know, you're busy beating me up
instead of whatever else you were trying to open the
nights a door or whatever, you know what I mean. Like,
and I think that's kind of what has happened now

(18:34):
in the in the last couple of decades. You see this.
You see like ten men jump up and get on
you know, jump on top of this guy to doing
because well, I mean, what you what's the alternative? You
let this guy act like a crazy person, right.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
No, we need people like you tackle those men.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
Well I think you would too. I think any of
you would.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Oh I'm throwing bows like Chris, like, I'm getting up.

Speaker 9 (18:55):
If even walk towards the cockpit like a certain way,
I'm already on alert.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
Yeah, I was just going to the bathroom. You're like,
I want to watch your Yeah, leave the door open.
I need to see what you up to up there.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
The search for a here we go, Here we go again,
you guys, I feel like more people need to listen
to this show, and not just at seven thirty Central
eight thirty eastern, but all five hours because you would know.
But the search for a missing American woman of the
Bahamas is getting new muscle from the US Coast Guard.
According to NBC News, Drivers Excise ME Divers and Drivers
Someone had to Drive. The divers arrived on Tuesday to

(19:33):
renew efforts to locate a fifty five year old woman
named Lynette, who vanished April fourth during a dinghy ride,
the husband's driving a boat and the wife disappears.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh we know this.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
I mean, what are we doing guys if things are
not really really good in your relationship? No boats, No boats,
no hiking, no cliffs, no swimming yep, no boats, no
sky diving, no, no risky activities. A source meanwhile tells
CBS that the incident is being investigated as a possible
foreign murder of a US national. The source says that

(20:08):
the search will focus on looking for possible remains and
will be using GPS data that was taken from an
electric electronic device. Investigators have been to the inn where
the woman was last seen alive. But why are they
investigating it as a murder? Like they talked to this
guy and the guys that are not acting right? You know,
he goes out with his wife in a boat, comes
back without his wife. Of course we need I need

(20:30):
to see his social media. Does he have a Grinder account?
I need to see his phone. I need to see
his phone. Is he on Ashon Madison? Does he have
a Bumble accounts you on Raya? I need to see
what this man is doing. But I think it's shenanigans.
I've watched too many daylines, too many forty eight hours mysteries,
too many, too many Lifetime movies, no boats when We're

(20:51):
fighting okay?

Speaker 5 (20:51):
No.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Uber has released its handual Lost and Found index, revealing
the weirdest things that riders have left behind in cars
over the past year. Phones. While It's luggage, keys headphones
are the most commonly forgotten items, some people have left
much stranger stuff, though. Among the oddest items a child's
prosthetic eye. I don't know how that came out, an

(21:14):
ankle monitor you're supposed to wear that? A live fish,
a mini fridge, an entire dishwasher, a coffee table, two
wedding gowns, pelvis implants. What is a pelvis implant? Twenty
pounds of duck sausage, a package of flyve butterflies, a
meat slicer, and a seventy five gallon fish tank.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Are we using uber to move now? Like you order
an Uber.

Speaker 2 (21:41):
And then they pull up, and then you know, here's
Albert in your Honda Civic and you're holding a meat slicer, Like,
where are we going?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
I'm terrified. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
The top ten most unique items include dentures with only
two teeth, breast milk, human hair, a Donny Osmond group picture,
an ankle monitor as I mentioned, four twenty donuts I
own if their weed donuts or what George Washington hospital
discharge papers, a sack of marbles, an oxygen tank, and
a gold mouth grill like the you know we're cool

(22:15):
in what in two thousand and five or something? Our
grills back? Did they ever go away?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Don't you have a girl?

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Gri Okay, I actually like secretly like that. I really
want one, really bad. Yeah, but I just I don't
want like a traditional grill, but I do want like
some little pieces in my teeth.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah. But a lot of people have girls. I think
they do. Yeah, they're just starting to wear them again.
The youngers are starting too. I got a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
I don't know one person with a grill except for
Kaitlin I know, I know Kiln's the only person with
a grill.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
I don't think I have one. I don't know Kiki
may no better than I. Then I know.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
If you've been following the La Mayor Race may Oil race,
which I think everybody has because Spencer Pratt it looks
like he's in a runoff with Karen Bass, so he
Karen Bass got thirty six point five percent of the vote.
I believe she's the existing mayor of LA. Spencer Pratt
twenty nine percent and Nithia Rahman twenty one with half

(23:09):
the vote in I don't know if the runoff is
just the top two or what I guess it is,
but so it could Spencer Pratt has an actual chance
to be the mayor of LA.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
We are so unseerious mm hmm, world right.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
I don't know what I think about it, because he
says some stuff where I'm like, that actually makes a
lot of sense. But can he pull it on it?

Speaker 5 (23:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
I feel like he's experienced, like going through that, losing
his house and stuff. I think like really inspired him.
Like he seems passionate like into it.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
But I think people forget when you're the mayor of
a town that big, you are the CEO of like tens,
if not hundreds of thousands of employees, not to mention
the citizens like you are you are a business owner.
And I don't know that he's ever done that before.

Speaker 6 (23:50):
Me and he like people say, like while he was
like I was playing up the villain thing, people say
he actually has those tendencies and can't really regulate his
emotions in real life.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
So I mean that's a little concerning.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
But I watch him talk and I'm like, okay, yeah,
I mean, yeah, you're saying the right things, but you know,
can you really pull it off? Can you do it?
Are you capable? I don't know, but I guess thirty
percent of Los Angeleans believe that he can.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
So let's try it. Yeah, I mean, anything here, So
what I do? Speak up?

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Right?

Speaker 1 (24:20):
She didn't.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
She hasn't said much at all. Yeah, she never does.

Speaker 9 (24:24):
Always like free id Like in your interview with them,
she was just sitting there and we were like, what's
going on with them?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
She was just like, yeah, he was the height man.
He did all the talking when when their house burned down,
they were trying to push her career to pay for everything.
And a Virginia woman's suing out Back Steakhouse for one
point five million dollars, claiming that she suffered serious injuries
after slipping on mashed potatoes that were left on the
restaurant floor. She was making her way to the restroom.
I guess when she stepped on the potatoes, fell face

(24:51):
first and was hurt. I mean, get your bag. I
guess if you heard yourself. I'm sorry, but that's embarrassing.
The woman says it out I should have cleaned up
the spill or warned customers about it. She claims at
the fall cause lasting physical injuries, pain, and medical expenses.
Outback denies wrongdoing and argues it had no warning that
mashed potatoes were on the floor and no duty to

(25:13):
post a warning sign slippery mashed potatoes ahead. The case
is headed for a jury trial. It's National Paulina Day
because it's Paulina's birthday and everybody better wish her a
happy birthday today.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
What you gotta do? Sasional egg day? Is that your
favorite food?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Both in the same day. Not get off unbelievable shananigans.
I call shanan against this. One's entertainment report is on
The Fresh Show.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Singer Cassie Ventura says she now lives outside the US
and has zero plans to move back. Well, that's at
least what she put in court filings tied to a
lawsuit involving a former male escort connected to allegation surrounding Diddy.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
I don't know where she's living. Actually I don't know
if anyone does.

Speaker 6 (25:53):
But I also don't know if I would ever share
that because my guess is that it's tied to just
her overall feeling of safety after she testified Gosh about
a year ago against Diddy and revealed that she received
that twenty million dollar settlement from him following her twenty
twenty three abuse lawsuits. So she has moved on everyone's

(26:13):
saying she fled the country. I think she just like
after getting her money. I think she already had the
money and I think she just wants to leave. So
I don't know if she's fleeing. But there you go.
After the series finale of Euphoria, excuse me, it chokes
me up still.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Actually you will cry if you haven't watched it yet.

Speaker 6 (26:29):
But Zendia's mom, Claire posted something that I found really
interesting on our Instagram story. She wrote, lots of messages
in my DMS from people about last night's episode. I'm
gonna keep my thoughts to myself. Definitely made me sad
dot da dot and other emotions as well, but just
gonna leave it right there.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
What is she talking about? What is she saying? So
I don't know if it's the on set drama.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
I don't know if it's how she felt the ending
was or like, you know, Rue's storyline, but it was.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
It was very interesting to me. By the way.

Speaker 6 (26:59):
Ademi is speaking about all the people constantly comparing her
to Sidney Sweeney and asking why she doesn't have that
level of success, which is really crazy, and she's pushing
back and she says, we don't need to compare my
career to these other castmates.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
She's really happy where she is.

Speaker 6 (27:16):
She told the Hollywood Reporter that sometimes friends will send
her photos questioning why she is not as big as
some of her peers, and she said the mindset takes
authority out of her hands.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
She said, I like my life like this. I wouldn't
change it.

Speaker 6 (27:30):
She says the internet loves measuring success by fame and visibility,
but she's perfectly content staying out of the spotlight when
she's not working.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
That sounds better to me honestly as well.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
And she even Sam Levinson was like, listen, if she
wants to do something, she will, If she wants to
be big, she will, like and she just got another
acting role, so she.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
Is a queen.

Speaker 6 (27:50):
Speaking of Sidney and this is the most Sidney Sweeney
thing I've ever heard. Sam Levinson, who did create Euphoria,
said that he wanted to or he offered to take
out Sydney's nude scenes in the final season, and she
fought to keep them in.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Oh, so she did that for us. He was like, I.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Wish I thought that much of myself naked, like you know,
and Fred, we don't. We don't have to eat. We're
going to take out the naked No, no, no, leave
those in there.

Speaker 6 (28:17):
He was absolutely, you know, I know you're growing in
your career. I know you're you know, we're going to
do this only fans storyline, which is in the spoiler.
But if you don't, if you want me to get
rid of that, we can shoot it and get rid
of it. And she said, I'm playing an only fans creator,
like I must show my jabos.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Okay, well now I'm interested. I mean I may have
to watch the final season. Before you know, I was.
I was resisting because probably know you didn't sell it.
You didn't sell it well at all.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
I will think it sold itself like in the beginning again,
it was slow, not what I thought it was going
to be. Forgot about the you know, six year gap
that wasn't really helpful.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Six years to come back is a long time. Yeah, yeah,
it was a long time. Yeah. A lot happened in
six years. Okay, just on the show alone, Like you do.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
A lot of sit ups for the nude scenes. It
took that loss love. I had to wait for Azepic
to be invented.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
Why you wait to get so you know, I won't
give spoilers, but I will say that strip club scene,
if you know, you.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Know, is will go down as one.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
Of the greatest scenes in a TV or movie of
all time.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
In my opinion. Coleman Domingo is amazing.

Speaker 6 (29:15):
And he also gave this speech about saying it really
boils down to whether you're bettering the world or whether
you're making it worse.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
And it's it's that simple. And I thought that that
he really ate with that, but it was. It was wonderful.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
Speaking of records real quick before we get out of here,
Dutton Ranch debuted at twelve point nine million global viewers
in its first week. That is the biggest original series
launch in Paramount history. Obviously one of the shows connected
to that whole Cowboys show that none of us watch.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
What the hell is it called well, oh, yeah, something
they'll text us, they'll text us. That's kind dramming nuts.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
The one with Kevin Costna. Yeah, the follow ups in.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
Yeah, this one is one of the million about yeah
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
