Speaking of you know over forty white guys, is the
Oasis reunion big news over there? Because it is blowing
up here?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Okay, so yes it was for some people the big
joke obviously, and I'm sure you guys have made it. Also,
is that like they'll do one show and then they'll
hate each other again. So the insurance alone on this
tour has to be through the freaking roof.
Speaker 2 (03:14):

don't even know if they will.

they had some great songs. They had a moment, but
like once they're like brotherly bs got in the way,
Like was anyone missing them? Like it's just like when
you sail up into the sunset and do your thing.
We're good guys, Like we're good. Like I wasn't losing
sleep over their feud.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I heard something the other day that one of the brothers,
net Worth is like in the millions, Like they'd say
seventy million or something like that, but the other one's
only down to like five million, So through divorces and
stuff like that. I think it's liamba. I don't know
if it's true or not, but maybe that's a reason,
like the bank account's a little low. It's like, oh geez,
we big ging back out there.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
You can't believe everything on the internet because the Internet
says I'm worth five million.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Dollars and I don't even have clipse to a million.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
So I mean, if I'm in the same echelon as
one of the Oasis.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Dude trained to kids have just gone back to school
over there, is this the start of the school year
right about now.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
I mean, I was this close to throwing both of
my children off with Alcony. It was like every person
because on my radio station, we are like broadcast to
all of North America, and every single person that would
like call the show was like, my kids have been
back to school for weeks in New York City.
Speaker 2 (04:28):

and they don't have them start until like a couple
of days after Labor Day here.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So it's like I were dying for just like go like,
I don't want to come up with activities for you anymore.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
So yeah, they literally have been to three days of school,
and you'd think only three days.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Out of any area to make to extend the school holidays.
People who are living in apartments with kids.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
It really Yeah, you feel like you're in a box.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
You feel like the walls are closing in on you,
and like it's like, hey, what now, what are you
doing now?
Speaker 2 (05:01):
I don't know, don't do something. I don't know that.
I'm not a teacher.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It was a big night in your city last night,
New York the MTV Video Music Awards. Taylor Swift one
of the big winners, and when she once she gave
a lovely shout out to her boyfriend Travis Kelsey, who
was there when they're filming the video.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
I would always just hear like someone like like cheering
and like oooh, like.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Like from across from across the.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Studio where we were shooting it, and that that one
person was my boyfriend Travis. Everything this man touches turns
to happiness and fun and magic. So I want to
thank him for adding that to our shoot.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He's old far little froth up at anything in that crowd.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
What night can We asked about Taylor Swift and Travis
Kelsey because he was stories going around about a contract
that they are saying is bogus that they said the
relationship was going to end at the end of September,
that signed a contract for mutual benefits. What do you
know about that over in America?
Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's completely false. It's not real. Now.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
The way that it got like picked up so quickly
and like spread like wildfire was because those contracts do exist,
right these celebrities, some of them are like they are
manufactured relationships to help sell an album or to help
like sell a movie, you know, get like ratings up,
and this was just not one of them. So somebody
knew what pr agency. He used it literally like photoshopped
(06:26):
it and like created it was got on Reddit or something,
and some journalists didn't do his job and was like,
oh my god, and then threw it out there and
then everybody went nuts. So with me, I was like, Oh,
the way kicker is that the his rape, Trevis Kelce's rape,
has put these showments is together before.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
So everyone's like, wait, they smoked he's fire. But I
feel like at this point they do not care.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
They're like cheesy with each other because they are just
like head over heels.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
There there is no truth. I think this is it
for them.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
They were pattying at the US Open BECU, isn't it?
I saw them in the like a corporate book.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
This says a buckethead on Yeah, do you guys want
to light that bucketet on fire?
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Or do you need me to?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Like? I tried to wear a bucke ahead a couple
of years ago, and my kids are like, please don't, please,
don't wear that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
I wasn't good.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
He's like full, I was flesh bucket. I even went,
could I start wearing a buckehead again after that? What
do you think, Nicole?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You're not making it cooler because it's a designer A
bucket hat is just bad.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I'm sorry if I offending anybody who likes them. They're
just lame and making it Gucci deal or I don't
care what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's not cool. It's never gonna be cool, do you know.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I actually, about five years ago I wore a back
ahead into work and it was bucket and I got
mocked and Bean said I looked like a party pool
dealer from a music fest selling pills to young kids.
And so I've never want a bucketet since.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
They're If I had been there, I might have lit
it on fire.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
So you think the relationship was strong? Taylor Swift Travis Kelsey.
I see she's back at the football, she's back supporting
the Chiefs games.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Yeah, I mean this, I really do believe this is it.
I don't think she's ever felt this comfortable being this
public in a relationship.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Just like she doesn't.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Care, Like everything else was so crafted, even if she was,
but like those moments are what make me think that
it's real. They don't care anymore. They're just being silly
and goofy. And a year into a relationship, you're still
in like honeymoon phase.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I was like super in love with my husband a
year in. I mean like that for a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
It's like, now, after the school holidays, is it gonna last?
