Listen back to Afternoons with Reed and Eddie from August 6. It’s Reed’s last day before vacation, and the guys are spiraling in style by having ChatGPT write their obituaries. They also talk irrational fears like birds, escalators, porta-potties, and sinkholes, and debate whether ghosting or rejection is worse. Otis might secretly be the healthiest of them all thanks to juggling, which turns out to be great for your brain. Plus, forgetting names might not be your fault, the front-runners for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, "retiring" at 38, and the mental damage of eating half a bag of Takis.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ninety five to nine Kiss FM. It's reading Eddie in
the afternoon. Yas hey for a while.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Dude, are you excited?

Speaker 1 (00:07):
I'm pretty excited.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
You seem pretty geek.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yeah, it's uh. Also, though, I do you ever just
eat like a bag of chips for lunch?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
I've done it before. Sure, who hasn't I ate.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Like a half a bag of those takis?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
How big was the bag with the old katakias? Don't
make up? Do they make them in small versions?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It was like a medium sized bag. There's a lot
in there, you're feeling. I feel fat.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, you get a little bloated and tighten there.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
I just feel fat because I don't eat a lot
of junk food. And when you do. We were talking
about this off air, when you eat something like let's
say you you cut out like processed foods a while,
and then you start eating them again, you feel away.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
That's how I feel with Dia coke now, I said,
drink di coke all the time? No, I haven't had
anything since February. I can. I feel it like I
have a sip and I'm like noope.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Yeah, it's really weird because I used to always get
like the chicken nuggets from Costco. Yeah, and I'd have
like chicken nugget and fries and I have to stand
your seven year old meal. Yes, thank you, but I
still have them. And it's kind of like my emergency
if I don't have anything, if I'm super lazy. But
I haven't had chicken nuggets in at this point probably months.

(01:15):
Good for you, thanks, But the last time I did
there was also maybe a month or two had passed
before I had them. And I had them and I
just felt like a pile of garbage.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Isn't that wild how your body does that to you.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I felt it instantly almost that I'm just like it
was like regret and it was like I feel like
a slime ball.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
You did you at the moment, you wanted it and
you enjoyed it at the moment.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Also, I'm trying to like get rid of all of
the fresh food at my house, so it's not sitting
in the show.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm not that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
So I mean, I do I have an apple? I'm
gonna eat. I got them banaz, Good for you, thanks man,
I'm growing up.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Where do you live again?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Why? Oh so you can gotcha? Yeah? Ninety five nine
Kiss FM it's reading Eddie in the afternoon, and we
were just kind of talking about how both of us
have taken steps to become healthier. Yeah, we're doing better,
better and working out more and stuff. But ironically Otis

(02:17):
might be the one who is the healthiest out of
us all.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Here. Also, he juggles. Okay, so how does that correlate?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
New studies about juggling just came out? Did you see this?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
I did not pay attention now.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, so who would have thought?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Right?

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Otis is a master juggler. He went to clown school.
It's true.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
And I guggle like it's not true, but it's true.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Just went to clown school. You knows how to juggle
and do magic. Studies have found that it is not
only good for your brain, but it helps with hand
eye coordination and balance. Juggling and improves your posture. It
can even burn up to two hundred and eighty calories
per hour. That's roughly what you get for an hour

(03:03):
long walk.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Let's be honest, who's gonna juggle for an hour straight?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I can see Otis juggling for you think so I
mean juggling.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I mean it seems like it's something that you would
get tired after five minutes.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Actually, you know, say, like who's gonna be doing it
for an ud?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Get sore looking at someone juggles, Like, oh, that's exhausty.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
So one neuroscientist explained, it changes how quickly you react
to objects, how well you coordinate between two hands, and
how you keep your posture under control. So Otis might
be the most healthy of us all.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Hear me out, hear me out. What do you think
it'll take me the clown school graduate that he is.
I want to know what it would take to get
him to go in full on clown makeup and suit,
the whole works. Do you think he has for a
whole day. I want to see him with the red
nose for an entire day. Could do the show with that, dude.
That's what can happen.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What do you what do you think like the final
exam was that clown like you got juggling, you got
the never ending handkerchief.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
No, I think that the final exam has got to
be driving the super tiny car with like any people.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Aside, Like do you think he had to like jam
park this thing? You had to be jammed in a
car with like twenty other clowns and get out in
a certain amount of time. I don't know, I really
I'm curious to know what the final exam for clown
school is.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I want to get him to dressed up all day, Yeah,
all day?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
We can get otis if you're livings, can you please
dress up like a clown?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
How do we make this happen? We'll tie in charity,
So make this happen.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, if the charity could just be my personal gain account,
I'd be cool with that too. Ninety nine Kiss FM,
it's reading Eddie in the afternoon. And one of these
last few days we were talking off the air in
between songs, and you were telling me of this irrational fear.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
That you had, by irrational fear of.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Falling through a sinkhole, Like you just think the earth
is going to open up and swallow you.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I mean, come on, you haven't thought that before?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
You're hot?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
No, no, no, can't be the only one out there
mowinged along going what if.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
What you might be the only way? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (05:07):
So, like sinkholes wasn't a thing growing up. It wasn't
like it's not a thing now. A sand was the
thing growing up now, I see, not a week goes
by when I'm on TikTok, and I don't see a
story about a sinkhole. You do not, absolutely I do.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Anyways, that he's also afraid of birds.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
I mean not that I'm afraid of birds. They just
look where they their knees been. The other way I
think even real.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yep, I'm pretty sure they're real. Yeah, so we're.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Gonna they're just send us of dinosaurs.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I started. I took your irrational fears, and I thought, well,
I gotta have some too, Okay, So nine to two
eight one zero ninety five nine, what is your irrational
fear something you're afraid of but probably shouldn't be afraid of.
And I've got more than I thought I would have.
See you see, like hear me out on this.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Bird situations are up to no good when where they're
near you, they want to poke you, they want to
poop on you. Just birds are disgusting.

Speaker 1 (05:58):
You thought a lot about this. So one of my
irrational fears is getting sucked into an escalator anything my
sin cole one and I remember that TV show back
way back in the day, Rescue nine one one yes
with William Shatner. Yeah, there was a kid who got
like his shoelace sucked in and it sucked his whole
leg in that. And I just recently a woman got

(06:20):
her legs sucked in there to cut it off. Oh man,
So yes, it's a real thing. That's not even irrational.
That's a rational fear.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Another one dropping my phone in a porter potty.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I mean that shouldn't be a fear because if it happens,
first of all, why you have your phone out in
the open?

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm afraid They're so tiny, right, like the porter potty.
So if I'm like turning around and buckling up and
zipping up, maybe I'm like it falls out of my
back pocket and.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
They give you a real, real solution for you. What
stop wearing georts?

Speaker 1 (06:50):
No real shorts would solve that problem. Take my chances.
Another irrational fear I have is finding a dead body
in the work bathroom. I don't know why. Yeah, when
when ever the lights are off, I feel like I'm
gonna go in there and someone's gonna be like haunched
over in the sea.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
So you're not thinking a murder, You're just thinking like
a natural cause.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Death, maybe like a heart attack.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
It is pretty realistic. Push too hard.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yeah, I've got some more, but I want to know
what yours are too. What are your irrational fears? Eight
one zero ninety five nine and we'll hit up the
text line next. What are some of your irrational fears?
Something you are afraid of but maybe shouldn't be. Maybe
you're just over exaggerating a little bit, but you're still
afraid of it. It's ninety five nine kiss FM reading

(07:34):
Eddie in the afternoon. Another one of mine is bleeding
to death.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Well, I mean it almost happens, so I can see
why you're scared of that happening again.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Irrational like isn't though, but you you lost half your blood.
Who else, though, would be afraid of that?

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Well, I think because it happened to you, that's why
you're afraid. Like you're afraid of I got it on
your list. It's got to be thrown up again, Yeah,
because you don't want to throw up anyone because I
haven't see it, you see, So I think once it
happens to you, you're scared to get it. One thing
I do that now that I think it was pretty irrational.
And this is more for the parents out there. When
you have a newborn you check up on your king
when they're sleeping.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, Also, don't drop your newborn.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Yeah, I dreamt. I had a dream that I feel
like I dropped him. You did, and it felt so real.
I think I did. But no, like when you're your parent,
you check up on your kids when they're sleeping. They
tell you because there's sudden infant SIDS is a thing,
sudden infants and death syndrome whatever they call it. So
I catch myself now that he's seven, still walk into
his bedroom like, is he good?

Speaker 1 (08:29):
That's totally irrational. What are you talking about?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Irrational or irrational?

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Rational?

Speaker 2 (08:32):
Okay, even though he's beyond the age, I should be
concerned about that happening because I mean I do it
at least three times a week.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
That's probably normal.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Okay, good.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Are you also as afraid of those giant windmill turbine
things as I am?

Speaker 2 (08:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
That well, I feel like it's a final destination moment
waiting to happen. It just comes flying and barreling off,
and it slices my head off.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
I went skydiving when I was eighteen, and that they
were when we when we started flying, I saw a
bunch of I saw munch of windmills, and I asked
the guy, like, we're going not going that way? I
was like, oh, definitely not.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Okay, good good, So I get it. I get it. Uh.
Another one of mine is getting him with the line
drive at a baseball game or a hockey puck.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
They've improved that so much, like there's more netty to happen.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, falling down an elevator shaft?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Why how would that even happen?

Speaker 1 (09:28):
It's it scares me.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
Elevator doors open, you walking without noticing there's no cart there.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
That maybe open down. Yeah, maybe I'm not paying attention
and the door's open, but there's nothing there. Also, uh,
walking through the elevator and as you're walking through the
elevator it drops and cuts you in half.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Do you ever walk into an elevator and looker by
the way for that escape hat?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yes? Almost every time? Me too. Every time.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Can never find it, and I don't understand why, Like A,
I want to find it, and be why would I
want to find just in case?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
And then if I do find it and for some
reason go on top of it, I'd be afraid it
would skyrocket up and crush me on the top elevators
are weird man nine two eight ones zero ninety five
minutes one up the text line next, what is your
irrational fear? Let us know what are your irrational fear?
Since me and Eddie are just embarrassing ourselves by telling
you hours, we want to know yours. Nine two oh

(10:19):
two eight ones zero ninety five nine. Every time I
drive over a large overpass, I get a moment of
fear where I think it will collapse.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
So remember when the bridges collapse in Minneapolis. Yeah, my
brother was living out there going to law school at
that time. So if there was a very time when
I would go over bridges, I'm like, what do I
do well?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
And then they did like a nationwide survey. I found
like seventy five of every bridge is like deteriorated. Yeah,
not good. Not good, Bob, No, not good. Now I'm
kind of afraid of that. Nine two eight ones here
ninety five bridges.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Of forty one that they're fixing. How long have they
been in need of that?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Probably too long. Horses I hate them, and they're big
and clumb See they would kill you by simply falling
on you. That's rational, that's very rational. Horses scare the
crap out of it.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I learned that when I was in Springfield, that you know,
Abraham Lincoln's slight lazy eye was because a horse kicked them.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Funny fact they kill you, didn't kill him. Something else
to the head day Yeah too soon, that's not too soon.
Irrational fears going to prison or jail for something I
didn't do. That sounds like an eddy fear.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Yeah, I don't know. I'm not made out for prison.
I'm not made for prison. I think I'm not made
for prison.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
You're made for surviving the wilderness, not the concrete jungle PRIs.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
No, No, there's a whole that's a whole different game.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
You'd have to like really step up your like hustling skills.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
I gotta go all hoods.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Though you're very you're a very pr centered person. Like
I feel like you could, like you have a way
with words where you could like manage the clicks in
the game. Would be like the governor of cell black
b Oh.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
That comes a lot of good power.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, with great power, though it's a great responsibility. Nine
two eight one zero ninety five nine. Here's another one
that I told you before too. I think because I
sent Carli a link a bit because it actually happened.
A snake coming up through the toilet and biting my junk.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
That happens way too much. I feel like there's a
story about that at least once a year.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Usually it's in like Thailand.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
It happens at Florida.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah, I sent carl Alynch you thought it was
spam and was afraid to click it because it's like
snake bites man's penis. Yeah, happened.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
Man definitely fullshitial that one.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
This is the news, Okay, getting crushed by a vending
machine after shaking it.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
There was an episode of one of those like rescue
dramas and that happened. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
It happens a lot, apparently a Lotistically, it's way more
than you. It's like more than people get struck by
like being the guy.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
You really wanted those m and ms and that's how
you go.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
But I also feel ripped off and like I need
to like justify the situation. I don't know, point no matter.
It's afraid a different thing. Yeah, but Eddie though afraid
of birds, which is still weird. They're dinosaurs ninety five
nine Kiss FM. It's read and Eddie in the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I like how you said that read it Eddie like
emphasized the Eddie part, the quality part of the show. Sure,
I like it. Oh, thank you, You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Put any thought into it at all, just kind of
came out that way. What do you think's worse, Eddie
getting ghosted or getting flat out rejected.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
I'll take the read I will take the ghosting over rejection.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Really, yes, right, I would.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Much rather not know what it could have been and
flat out Beams said, no, you suck.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Nine two o two eight one zero own ninety five nine.
If you were getting broken up with would you rather
or whatever? Would you rather get rejected or would you
rather be ghosted?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Well asn't married? Man, they're both suck.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
What if your wife just disappeared? You know she's alive,
young girls me, you're just blocked on everything.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh that would be horrible.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Locksy out of the house.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
I was much rather be rejected in that situation. Just
tell me you don't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
You said you'd rather be ghosted than.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Reject if I was in a day world ghost So.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
A new study has been done and we have an answer.
I think, like what most people, how most people feel,
and what most people would want.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
So would you choose?

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I would choose getting rejected. Really no, I hate any
kind of real.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
I take the heartbreak and the tears, and.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
I'll explain myself next. But I will say my thought
process aligns with the studies. Okay, So what's worse getting
ghosted or flat out rejected? New studies and we'll talk
about it next. Eddie says he would flat out rather
get ghosted than rejected. Nine Kiss FM Reid and Eddie

(14:49):
in the afternoon. This is tough because they both obviously suck.
And I hate rejection. Rejection hurts so many kind of rejection.
I I absolutely hate it. But we have some new
information based on a new study that says researchers put
two hundred and fifty college students through a dating simulation

(15:11):
with the fictional crush named Taylor. After two great dates,
Taylor either ghosted, rejected, or agreed to a third day.
Not surprisingly, it says those who were rejected or ghosted
suffered bruised egos and increased negative emotions compared to ones
who got a third day. Obviously makes sense, but interestingly,

(15:31):
the people who were ghosted felt more emotionally attached than
the rejected ones. They were more likely to stock Taylor's
socials in send a just checking in text. Basically, those
who were ghosted were still hanging on, which ends up
causing more emotional harm than just being outright rejected. That
makes sense to me, It does make sense. But if

(15:53):
you're ghosted, you don't there's like no closure, you don't
know why, you don't know if you did something, you
don't know, if there's maybe someone else.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
Yeah, But on the other end, rejection hurts.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, But and then rejection gets real if you I
feel like, if you get rejected, then you can kind
of put like a period at the end of it,
like you can just dead stop.

Speaker 2 (16:15):
Ignorance is bliss, So you're not so like, I don't
when you're being rejected, you're gonna be told why.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
But no, you said it before the break, you said, like,
if you're not gonna happen, right, But if you were
to split from your wife, you would rather her reject
you than to just vanish at that point, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Because I know if she's like she just vanishes, she okay.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
She alive?

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Is she gone girling me?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
That's how you feel then without overthinking it because you're
actually using a raw like a raw.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Exam different Mary versus being single. I think if I
was single, ghost me all you want, But Mary, I
think the reject you would hurt even more because I
spent all this time I almost ten years already.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
So what you're saying is depends on how emotionally attached
you are. Yes, But okay, in this case, you're looking
for date number three.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
See at that point, that's what ghoest to me. How
you want state number three?

Speaker 1 (17:05):
I guess that's what if you really like her.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
But ghost number date number three or rejection means she
eitherre's something physically or like or personally that she did
not like. And I don't want to hear that.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
You know what I'm saying, ignorance and you're absolutely you're
half wrong but also half right.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
That makes sense, right kind of.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
It's ninety five nine Kiss FM reading Eddie in the afternoon,
and there happening there's a new trend. I don't know
if you've seen this.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
I don't like the music to this trend at all.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
There's a trend happening now, and it's it's kind of
fun despite the music. Okay, what's your number one fear?
Do you know what? My number one fear is my death,
me dying, only you, no one else.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
So I care for the death. I just can't. I
can't imagine living in a world where my family has
a suffer from my death right and it bothers me.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Sure, so there's a new trend and I am going
to read your obituary. I don't like this at all
on the air, no created by chat gepets. Why do
we gotta go this way?

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Like?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
How did you?

Speaker 2 (18:13):
What are the parameters here? What is chat chept? Now?

Speaker 1 (18:15):
I'm gonna give you options because chat gpt gave me
different types of obituaries, and I also have mind printed out.
I just skimmed him. I didn't really read them, and
you're gonna do the same for me, but you have.
I'm gonna read two different obituaries.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Can I veto this segment?

Speaker 1 (18:30):
You can't. So you can pick the sincere and heartfelt obituary,
the funny and satirical obituary, the mysterious and vague obituary,
or the over the top dramatic obituary.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
I'll let you pick two of them. I want the
vague one mysterious in vain. We'll do that one first, Okay,
I'm gonna do it right now. Sure, okay, dearly beloved,
Oh here we are gathered here today. You may have
heard the name Eddie, but did you ever really know him?
He was there in the static between songs and the

(19:08):
quiet before the laugh track.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Some said he was just a voice on the radio.
Others claimed he was a myth fabricated to balance Outread's energy.
He's gone now, or perhaps I don't want to be gone.
He never was. There are no funeral arrangements, no final words,
just the faint echo of a chuckle and a coffee

(19:33):
cup still warm. Wherever he is now, he's probably still late,
but on his way. I'm never late, dude. You asked
for the vagan mysterious obituary, he got it. I didn't
like it at all, all right, So coming up next,
I'll have you read one of mine, okay, and then
I'll let you pick another one. I don't like this

(19:54):
bit at all. I love it. It's this I see.
I wasn't a fan of that one though, because that
doesn't that doesn't sum up you, Okay, So all right,
we'll do chat. GPT generated obituaries of reading Eddie. I
thought this was a good idea. I did. It's ninety
five to nine. Kiss at them reading Eddie in the afternoon,
we're reading each other's obituary. I don't like this created

(20:14):
by chat GPT. Now what are my options here?

Speaker 2 (20:17):
All right? Uh? Sincere and heartfelt, funny, satirical? Did I
say that? Right?

Speaker 1 (20:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Mysterious and vague? And I got a fill in. You're
going with over the top dramatic because that is your life.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
I want to start with over the top dramatic. Alright,
So chat GPT created these obituaries. So just pretend we're
dead for a second, and this this is how Eddie.
You don't want to you would read my obituary at
my funeral. You're ready, I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
In a world too small for his brilliance, Reid has
a part of this immortal coil, leaving behind a gaping
hole in the cultural fabric that no one, not even
the Kardashians can fill. Makes sense, bun seriously burn other
blazing comment allegedly reward into life with a microphone in

(21:07):
one hand and a punchline in the other.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Ay, I right, desented? You do this? Hey? I wrote it.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
His life was a whirlwind of wit, wonder and weirdness.
He didn't just host, he commanded the airwaves. He didn't
just live, He performed.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Tragically he re left us far too soon? Or exactly
what are you meant to leave? This? Pos dimmed, the
soundboard fell silent, Spotify mort and yet somewhere a rogue
bit still loops in the distance, echoing to into eternity.
His tumbestone reads, only be right back?

Speaker 1 (21:48):
Why was that so long? Ridiculous? I love it. That's
a great obituary. Hey keep that, just like you never
know what I'm gonna die, you know? All right? So
which one do you want for your next one? Since
here heartfelt funny, satirical or over the top dramatic?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
What's over top of dramatic? For me? Let's go there?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
All right? Here we go. Eddie has passed, and with
him the world loses a rare broadcast frequency effect, one
that hummed with sarcasm, warmth, and a constant, low level
confusion of what day it was?

Speaker 2 (22:23):
You?

Speaker 1 (22:24):
He wasn't just a co host. He was a legend
in khakis, a master of the wait what reaction? A
man who turned I didn't read the prep sheet into
performance arms. He died, how he lived his head boots
us coffee stained on his shirt in a reluctant tolerance

(22:48):
for reads antics. As the radio fades, the static and
the on air light dims, we remember Eddie not just
as a man, but as a vibe fus last words were,
can we take a break? All that checks out? Who
knew Chad Gpt could write an epic obituary and highly

(23:13):
accurate too.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
I feel like this is a game we should not play.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
It's ninety five nine Kiss FM. Reading Eddie in the afternoon,
I read two of Eddie's obituaries created by chat GPT.
Eddie's got to read one more of mine and what
are my Okay? I did the over the top dramatic one.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, sincere and heartfelt funny and said why can't I
say that? I don't know? Set satirical, there we go,
and then mystery in vague?

Speaker 1 (23:40):
What do you feel him?

Speaker 2 (23:42):
I mean the funny one. It kind of does fit you.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Okay, let's go funny one. Okay, So this is my
obituary created by Chad G's too ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
This one.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
I'm not jinxing ourselves.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Horrible game.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I do hop on a plane in a couple of days,
so bad. Move planes aren't having the best track record right.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Now, ad and move to be doing this.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
At least you'll be prepared with obituaries if I go down.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
I'm ready for any situation here all right, So here.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
It is chat GPT created my obituary.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Here we go. Reid has officially logged off. After years
of surviving on ice coffee memes and validation of strangers
on the Internet. Hey, Reid has passed into the great unknown,
presumably a place with better WiFi and fewer meetings. Oh
that checks out. Okay, every single sact so far besides
the ice coffee like a.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
Good ice coffee.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
He died doing what he loved, avoiding phone calls, ignoring
group chats, and trying to convince people that a radio
show counts as Cardio Read's funal words or probably something
like wait, I have a bit for this.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
He survived by the aguly number of finished, unfinished Google docs,
several loyal followers who struck out stuck around for the
giveaway legacy jokes that age poorly, says woo in Louis
lahors please the vendmoo friend five dollars with a caption
for emotional support.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
I like the other one better, but but.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I mean, let's be honest with you, this one was
the most most accurate of your lifestyle.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Why does chat GPT think you like coffee so much?

Speaker 2 (25:19):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Why does chat GPT assume you wear khakis? Right, I've
never seen you in kaky never in my life. Well,
in case, if you die, I got your obits and
if I die, you got mine.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
How about we don't die.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm trying, but you know how hard that is for
me sometimes.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
I mean, you know, I think the fact that I
saved to us. I think you're you're you're in for
the long call.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Well, yeah, like final destination, like death skipped me. So
it's onto the next You're good, You're yeah, I'm good.
Ninety five nine Kiss FM. It's reading Eddie in the afternoon.
Are you one of those people who sometimes or often
struggle to remember people's names.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I feel like you're judging right now, Well, are you? No?
I don't think so. I think if I have converce you,
I'll tend to remember them. They think you.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Mean like if you meet a new person, you'll remember
their name.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'll remember their name when if I have a conversation
with them.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
So you will go to like a radio event, a
listener comes up, you have a ten minute conversation, you'll
will you remember that thing.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
So I think ten minutes, I think is enough for
meet my brain to click.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
So I'm not like that at all. But it's also situational.
But for the majority of the time, I'll remember the
face but not the name. And then actually majority of
the time not the face either. But I just have
a bad memory, apparently.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
But crossword puzzles, dude, Yeah, maybe.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Any more brain games. Uh. However, if you are one
of those type of people that just you're not good
with names, you forget the names, it may not be
your fault. It's not my fault, Eddy. According to psychologists,
could mean many factors, and it could mean good things.
All right, here's the deal. If you have trouble remembering

(26:54):
people's names when you meet them, could be good things.
Also could not be good things. But I tell you next,
I am the type of person who will forget your
name the second after you tell me what it is.
Sad it's ninety five to nine kiss FM reading Eddie
in the afternoon, it's just tell him built Eddie. Okay,
we're all beautiful and perfect. But psychologists and experts say,

(27:16):
if you are that type of person who forgets people's
names or as trouble remembering new people's names, A, it's
not your fault and beat well could be, I guess,
but B could be a good thing. Experts say. Could
be many factors here, but experts say it could just
mean you are a big picture person. I'm a big

(27:37):
picture person, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
How is it possible that you can't remember people's names
but you can recite the whole Dumb and Dumber movie word.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
For word priorities. This actually explains that experts say it
alternatively might mean you are highly intelligent. Shouldn't be shocking
to anybody. Here we go. It suggests that forgetting names
could be an indicator of high intelligence. Scientists believe that
this might be because intelligent brains are better at discarding

(28:04):
information that is not useful in order to focus on
what really matters. So essentially, I don't care about your name.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
You're not useful to me.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Ceiling it sort of, so it's no, It continues. It says,
so if you're forgetting names. It's not necessarily a negative trait.
It could just mean your brain is efficiently sorting out information,
prioritizing meaningful data over less important details like names. That's
why I can remember dumb and dumber word for word,
because that matters priorities. Right, So sometimes your name doesn't matter.

(28:35):
I know who you are, like I know your face
and I know you're here. You matter Eddie.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Oh, thanks buddy.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
But you know, I just might not care about your name.
So there's another theory though. If you forget people's names
a lot like I do, it suggests that your highly
empathetic and individuals with characteristics are often more engaged in
understanding and connecting with the emotions and experience of others.
If that doesn't sound like me, I don't know, what does. Yeah,

(29:03):
I'm very emotionally charged.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
They tend to concentrate on feelings rather than specifics such
as names.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's not you at all.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
What are you talking about.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
I'm not a person.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
I'm such a person.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I feel like you want to not have any feelings.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
I don't, but I do. There is a third theory,
and that theory means you could just be an introvert
who finds new social situations overwhelming. That makes the sense.
Shut up. If I'm nine Kiss FM, it's reading Eddie
in the afternoon, and the front runners for the next
super Bowl halftime show are in all right, I have

(29:43):
the odds because you can bet on this stuff. Okay,
before we get into that, who do you think right now?
Are the front runners to perform in the super Bowl
halftime show next year?

Speaker 2 (29:56):
It's always somebody that's hot at that moment, right usually,
or somebody that I don't know maybe not?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Who did it? Well, Kendrick Lamar did it? He was hot?

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Who did it before? Eminem Snoop dre right, Yeah, they
were all have a maybe before Rihanna?

Speaker 2 (30:08):
And then wasn't it also then Jlo and Shakira before that?
Who would do it this year?

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Who would be good.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
At it this year? I think we gotta go different,
We gotta go different.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Nine eight one zero ninety five nine. Who do you
want to do the super Bowl halftime show this year?
There's a list of the top one, two, three, four,
five front runners and then some kind of like honorable mentions. Okay,
there's a website like a financial website, where you can
bet on this, Give me like one or two right
off the top of your head right now.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, maybe this is how Justin Bieber makes his return
to the stage.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
You think the beabs okay?

Speaker 2 (30:42):
I mean why not? Why not? I mean maybe like
a chapar row, she's like the big thing right now,
you think, I mean people love her? Why not?

Speaker 1 (30:50):
Maybe a little too unestablished? Too soon, too soon, I
think too soon. Give me another one, give me another big, big,
big name.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Let's go country. Then let's go grab like like like
a legendary country act, like a Chesneydy Chesney or Tim McGraw.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Find out who the front runners are to perform at
the next super Bowl halftime show. I got the odds,
I got the names, and we'll talk next. Who's gonna
perform at the next super Bowl halftime show? It's ninety
five nine Kiss FM reading Eddie in the afternoon. Eddie's thinking,
maybe like a Kenny Chesney.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Country that I can think of it?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Ever, who was other?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
So the early nineties only two or late nineties only
two thousand country acts?

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Good guesses? Not on the list?

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Really is it a country on the list?

Speaker 1 (31:35):
There is? Yes?

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
One?

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Oh? Who would be that one for that genre.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Come on, Garth Brooks, your favorite?

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Is it? Eric Church?

Speaker 1 (31:45):
Your favorite?

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Oh? I don't want that guy? Did you just say that?
Because he's the opposite of my favorite? And I see
Morgan Wallas on the list.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
He's in an honorable mention. So here we go. There's
a website that has the betting percentages of these artists
doing the Super Bowl. Sure, number five, this is my
number one?

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Your number five?

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Two? Okay?

Speaker 2 (32:04):
Can you guess you sort of saw eminem already?

Speaker 1 (32:08):
No, not that well, okay, number five with thirteen percent
chance of performing the Super Bowl. Metallica.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Oh we you have mentioned Metallica. That would be so
bad it'll ever happen.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Right, it's two out thirteen percent and at fourteen percent
chance of doing the super Bowl is bad?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Bunny, I can see that.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
I can't because they only do Spanish, but he globally.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
He's like the most streamed artist, so I could see
them going that route.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yes, I can't name a single song.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, same, but he's the most streamed artist on Spotify.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Coming in at number three. It's a woman, Addie. Who
do you think number three?

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Woman Suprina Carpenter? Nope, is it a current pop artist, yep,
current Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Nope, shocker. I know Miley Cyrus chance of performing the
super Bowl number two top forty kiss artist. One of
our biggest artist.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Artist is a dude, jelly Roll. He said Morgan Wall
was honorable mentioned jelly Rolls MGK of the MGK post
Malone Posty all right at twenty five percent and number
one the post Malone do like a Thanksgiving show and
it was pretty bad.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I think it was like the before Detroit game. Oh,
I think about it. He had a show and he
did not get good reviews. That was that was someone
else who was definitely post Malone.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
No, it was No, it was Jack Harlow.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I know number one jay Z the front runner at
twenty eight percent. And I think they say that because
jay Z is the one who controls who does it.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
Oh that's true, but I think that No, I don't
like that.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Honorable mentions to perform the Super Bowl alf time show,
Morgan walland do a leap us to bring a carpenter, Drake,
Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, and then this would be my
number one or number two with Metallica food fighters.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
I would love to see the food fighters. Absolutely so
they they're.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
Gonna got if five nine Kiss FM. Difficult.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh there's no joke there.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Nope. Okay things are expensive, Yeah they are. Being an
adult is challenging and not really very fun.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
No. No, a woman may have.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Found a life hack that could change everything. Okay, she
moved into a retirement home. No, I'm going to tell
you why. I think this might be a brilliant idea
or the worst idea ever. With the grandparent on her own,
on her own, you could do that. Yeah, apparently so.
She was a thirty eight year old woman I think
moved into a retirement home. She says it changed her life.

(34:39):
I'll tell you about it next. Okay, we should put
you in a home.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
What do you try to say?

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I mean, you're getting old, You're a ridiculous You might
have to put you down.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
Stop it, you.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Life hack move into a retirement home.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
You are being mean today, You're a jerk.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
We'll talk next, you life hack move into a retirement home?
Interesting ninety five nine Kiss FM. Reading Eddie in the afternoon,
I did a little more thinking, and I think this
is stupid. But you were saying it's cool. I mean,
different strokes, different folks. Man. So this woman, a thirty
eight year old, moved into a retirement home. Says it

(35:13):
changed her life forever. She from Florida, Australia.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
Oh close.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
She just got out of a relationship, needed a place
to live. She decided to try moving into a nursing home.
Her aunt lived there, and so she went and visited
and was like, huh, maybe I could do this, And
there are age stipulations, but basically it's a case to
case basis. So she submitted everything, you know, the background
checks and all that stuff, and had a good recommendation

(35:39):
from her aunt that lived there, and sure enough she
moved into a retirement home. And she says she enjoys
bingo chaer yoga and the slower pace of life. Says
her blue hair friends made her a better person.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Is this woman also like still working or she for
some time?

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I would assume. So she thirty eight. She says, it's
five hundred dollars a month, which is a fraction of
the cost of an apartment.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
I mean it really is is expenses.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
You probably get food. Do you get food?

Speaker 2 (36:06):
I think you still gotta pay for it though, I mean, you.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Can probably buy your own stuff, but can you do
they have.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Like it's like a past thing. You have to pay
for them to feed you.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
Right, Maybe I didn't know if that's really but yeah,
I mean do you have to like sign yourself ome?
Does someone have to come and get you and check
you out?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
And then like, how are you gonna how you gonna
do any Netflix and chilling? Did they gotta sign in?

Speaker 2 (36:29):
I think you do it within the building man, right,
But do they.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Sign in at the front desk and then go to
a room three oh four?

Speaker 2 (36:34):
No? You just do it with other residents, likessidents.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Well they're all old dudes. It's a retirement home. Yeah, right,
but oh she's got to be a hot commodity around there.
Think about it, but a number, Yeah, don't need a
blue pill when.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
That she's trying to meet a rich dude in.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
A retirement home.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, they got money started away in the bank. How
do you think of they're paying for the retirement home.
I feel like just because you're in a home doesn't
in you're poor.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
If you're looking for a rich person, retirement home is
probably not it because if you're rich, you probably have
at home nurses.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
You are looking at this the wrong way, my man.
People have money in theirs, for sure.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
I'm sure.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
I just feel like, if let's say I got a
million dollars, I'm paying nurses to take care of me,
I'm not gonna be in a home, but be in
my home.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
It's can be more expensive to pay the nurses. You
go to a home, you save that money.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
I bet you.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
If your goal is to go to a retirement home
and find a sugar daddy, I don't know if that's
the move. I feel like you're not sugar daddy's status.
If you're in a retirement home. Out of sugar daddy.
Status is your own mansion with your own help.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
I mean, she's thirty eight, she meets a sugar daddy.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
She could move af anyways. Anyways, if you're looking for
a change in your life, life hack, just be happier
and move into a retirement home. That ain't gonna work
for me. Bro It's ninety five to nine KISSFM reading
Daddy in the afternoon, and tomorrow is a big date
for Eddie, Big day for you too. He becomes a
family of four Yeah, isn't it wild? Yeah, not having

(38:05):
a baby, having a kid.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Not doing anything. We're not adopting, but we are gonna
have a foreign exchange student for the school year.

Speaker 1 (38:10):
Yeah, so are you ready for this? Like do you
have a room? You have a room set up? Yeah,
you have a TV in there?

Speaker 2 (38:18):
No? No, but do teenagers need TVs in the rooms now?
With tablets and computers like you get streaming?

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Good question, that's what we factor.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
You'll toll play, end up using my iPad so she'll
have something to wash stuff on.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Feel like this could be not to.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
Have her own iPad. I didn't even ask her that question.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
This might not even based on any kind of truth
at all, But I feel like kids prefer to watch
stuff on their phones.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Right, I feel like there's some truth to that. How
many times you catch yourself scroll and watch the stuff
on TikTok and Instagram instead of the TV?

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I do both at the same time.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yea, like your attention spans so.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Oh my god, I'm not I'm not even kidding. And
then I just got obsessed with this new like game
on my phone. And I'm not a phone game guy,
but it's a game. It's called all in Hole, I think, okay,
And basically there's like a bunch of stuff on the ground,
like fruits are foods or stuff on the ground, and

(39:14):
you control a hole in the ground. So you just
move the hole in the ground and you gotta drive.
You gotta get stuff in your hole. And the more
stuff you put in your hole, the bigger it gets.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Okay, And that's that's it.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
That's it, bro, I'm telling you how.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Much rather play Farmville.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
No, dude, I thought this was It looked like the
dumbest game ever. But I gave it a shot, and
I'm like, I am obsessed. The other day, over the weekend,
I was watching the Detroit Tigers play. They're like two
and a half three hour games, right. I put it
on and then I'm like, oh, let's get my phone out.
Let's play this whole game where you make your hole bigger.
I'm playing the game. Next thing I know, the game's over.

(39:53):
I feel that the Tigers game is over.

Speaker 2 (39:55):
I feel like you're making this game up. All in Hole.
It makes those sense. Your point is to.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Fill your hole right there, All in Hole. You got
to fill your hole with like food and stuff. There's
like food and sometimes there's like like drinks and sometimes
there's like plates.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Is the hole your mouth.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
It's a hole in the ground and you just like
you control it with your finger and you it's and
you got it. Stuff falls in, but also bombs can
fall in, and a bomb's falling it blows your hole up.
Makes no sense and so much fun. Anyways, good luck
with the foreign exchange dude. All right, thanks, I appreciate that.
I think we're ready. You realize I just made this
all about me. You did it.
