I love the man with the spiky hair.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh, the guy with the spiky hair in Green Day.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Ye's true.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Yeah, big spikey here man. Yeah, Billy Joe is what
they call him.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Yeah, that's what they call him. Yeah, Yeah, that's what
Google calls him.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Too.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, that was good. That was pretty smooth. Actually, you
bought yourself sometime, so I believe it was. We're out
on the porch, which is a table outside of the
studio where the pre show, the pre show production meeting occurs. Aka,
I have no idea what the topic of conversation will
be when I walk in each morning. And today I

(02:30):
believe it was you, Paulina, who said that you didn't
know that men could pee sitting down.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
I had no idea, Like physicologically.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
Physicologically just tackle the mic again, Okay, let's just start
over physicological.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Logically, I need to be.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Recharged myself, right, So physiologically you didn't.

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Realize I didn't realize that men could pee sitting down?

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Well, how do you think that we go number two?

Speaker 1 (02:54):
You don't pee?

Speaker 7 (02:54):
Well, you guys could, but like you're not peeing, and
you give a mission, right, you have something to do.
You have a goal, and that's that's to go number two.
That's different different things.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
I'm not trying to get into like potty stuff. I'm
really not. But when you do that, don't multiple activities
occur at the same time when you do that, why
would that be different from men? So we would sit
the same way that you do, okay, and then just
sort of adjust the part so it all goes to
where it needs to go.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
And then yeah, okay, see that makes sense if you're
going to.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Pipe dawnt have time, But would.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
You just go number one? Yeah, number one, sitting down?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
I would not. I would not.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
I don't think I know anyone, hopefully whose lives make
them do this. But I've heard and read about men
who are required to sit to pee at home because apparently,
and this is something else that I'm learning this morning. Yeah,
I guess when you live with a man, because you
all three of you claim this is an issue, there's
no aim or no effort to aim, or no effort

(03:52):
to like get it all where it needs to go.
I'm appalled by this. Let me tell you. Even when
I'm in a relationship and there's someone in my house frequently,
I'm even more conscious about making sure that it appears
I don't use the bathroom in any form. So I'm
not leaving little drip grabs here everywhere, right right right,
I'm not doing I'm not doing it as far as
you're concerned. I don't. I'm a kendle. I don't use

(04:15):
the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
See you think that, But I would like to talk
to the other person.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Why don't you go to my house right now? And
I didn't know you were going, And you can go
right now and you can look around, give me the
key and the key to your car because you go
into my house, you have to drive my car over
it right.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
A pay.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
With a magnifying glass inspecting.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
But see, I believe you, though I truly believe you.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Yeah, I don't think you like when you aim you
you're on a mission, like there is no missing with you,
because you're like my husband, like he doesn't leave splatter like.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
You ladies are claiming, like my husband doesn't do that either.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
But I've seen it in public restrooms aka at work,
like I've seen it in other places.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But I believe you, Fred like you're not.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Will say when you use it your public urinal, there's
always like a little I'm not trying to be gross,
I'm really not, but there's always like a little puddle
in front of it.

Speaker 8 (05:06):
And I'm like why because the urinal is the easiest
to aim at, like it's literally right in front of you,
like you can't.

Speaker 4 (05:14):
The only thing I can say is that it could
get a little drippy if you're standing and you.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
Put But this doesn't happen. It doesn't happen.

Speaker 8 (05:20):
But there's house far away getting closer.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
It doesn't happen. Someone to exit a boot camp. We
would sit to pee, would make cleaning easier. Yeah, that's
what we do.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I didn't know that until I saw.

Speaker 7 (05:32):
My best friend do it one time we lived together
and he was peeing. He cracked it or open and
tell me something. And I was like, are you sitting
and ping? Are you pooping? And he's like, no, I'm
being And I was like, I know you guys do that.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Like, I don't know. I just never expected a man
to do that, Like.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Did I don't have to what just happened.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
There?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I have nothing?

Speaker 2 (05:53):
What? What?

Speaker 3 (05:54):
What is going on?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I dumped her swear word in here?

Speaker 3 (06:00):
She's cussed. No, yeah, you cussed.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I didn't that.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I don't here out of my mouth.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Are you trying to do it discreetly?

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (06:12):
That wasn't.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
But I mean you'd have to call it out.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I don't make it quietly. I never know that.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
You just stood on the desk.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Over there.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
I was like, it's going to be subtle when both
knees are on the top of the table.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Have the button near me.

Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm sorry, I think you're trying to dump something cross
the room.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, I am too.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Now I didn't hear it, And maybe I'm just so
used to everyone cussing around here that yeah, that's.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Why I was like looking at you all, you guys,
and no one reacted, and so then I.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Just did it.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
I don't know where I was going.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
I have no idea. I'm very distracted now anyway against
someone cussed. So I just I want to know eight
five five five one three five what is something about
men that as a woman, Because we talked to many
times about all the mysteries of the woman and all
the things that men don't understand and some of the

(07:08):
surprising things that men are paying attention to. But what
is something about a man that you didn't realize until
maybe you lived with one and then you were like,
oh really, Like what is something that fascinated you? Like
I'm trying to think over the years of all the
different things you guys have said in here, like like
you guys think that we like helicopter and mess with

(07:29):
it in front of the mirror all the time. Like
I remember there was somebody in here that there was
somebody in the I don't remember who it was used
to be on the show who used to say that like, oh,
you must go in there and like play with like
mess with it and look at it and helicopter and
I'm like, no, no, no, the same way that I
don't think that you guys just I mean, I think
for fun time you might do certain things, but I
don't think you guys are just like I've heard guys

(07:51):
say before, if I had boobs, I would do X
y Z. Well, I don't think that's happening all the time.
I don't think you're just like really nearly just you
know what I mean, I could do that now and
I don't.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
But like I.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Actually I googled this to see like what other people
have said, what other women were surprised to learn about
men mourning. Well, I don't know if I can say
this either, but I guess we're cussing this morning, so
it doesn't matter waking up when things are are ready
to go.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
There's a there's a term for it, mourning.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, you know, two by four morning home depot, morning lumber.
And I guess women were surprised to know that men
wake up that way sometimes, but we do. And there
doesn't have to be a rhyme or reason. It just
is that way. Sometimes you just sort of emerge, you know,
from sleep, and it's like.

Speaker 5 (08:42):
Oh yeah, that that was a new one for me. Yeah,
if you've ever seen a man, you know that. I
don't understand how that would be surprising.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
I'm just telling you.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
What's on the things that people have been surprised by.
People have been surprised by how the actual you know,
you got the twigg and you got the berries, and
I guess people are surprised that that that the berries
that I describe this that they change shape kind like

(09:11):
that that that the container in which they are, they
they live sometimes will like and it has to do
with mostly to do with with keeping warm temperature. So
like if it's cold, they'll go up closer to your body,
and if it's warm, they'll they'll fall from your body.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's a little fun thing.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
But I guess a lot of women didn't know that.
I don't know why you would necessarily, but because again
I think sometimes women give men a hard time for
a lack of understanding about you guys. But you have
to remember, I grew up with two women, you know whatever.
Maybe I maybe I'm more thoughtful about these things sometimes
than others. But like, I don't think that most men
ever are educated on some of the things that you

(09:51):
guys think we should know.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I don't think anyone's ever taught us.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah, you know, I think there are certain things that
we don't understand about about you guys that that no
one's taken the time to be like, hey, this is
how it works. You know. Like I've seen the barstool
videos where it's like how many tampons do women need?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Whatever?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
And they'll be like forty. Another guy will be like
one for a week, you know what I mean. It's like,
but like it just goes to show that I don't
know that anyone ever told them that. Oh yeah, so
I think there's probably all kinds of mysteries of the
man that no one's ever really, I have no idea
educated you on.

Speaker 8 (10:21):
What surprised you about living with them, right, I mean
nothing really, I mean it's it's I mean, I don't
want to like bragger anything.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
It's pretty easy.

Speaker 8 (10:30):
I mean, we're no surprises and we just sit to
piece so that, like I said, the cleanups easier.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Let me see here he's sitting and it's nice getting.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
A load off going through this list of things that
the surprised women about men. My ex wife was shocked
at how short of phone conversation can be for men.
My best friend called me once. This guy literally flew
across the country to be at our wedding. He called
me because he was bringing me to work the next day,
so me to ride. Yeah, I'll be there five to thirty, okay.
And that was the conversation. She's surprised because I guess

(11:01):
women don't. They can't have a short conversation like that.
You guys can't type. I guess I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I can short conversation.

Speaker 8 (11:08):
Absolutely yesterday and I was like, okay, I'm gonna go now.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
I can tell she just did not want to right
the room.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
I love what you called me. I don't think I
know something's on fire.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh no, well.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
No, that's the thing.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I don't pick up the fire if the phone rings,
if I called you there's something to discuss, like otherwise,
I'll send you a text and it will be short
and sweet with punctuations.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
Sometimes it's too long, like what I had to call
you about yesterday? Like that would have been a long text. Yeah,
what did you have to call about yesterday?

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Oh? Yeah, okay, I was like, what what you didn't so.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I didn't tell you yesterday.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
I don't know what comes to mind for you guys.
What is surprised you guys over the years about living
with mad.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
How much they eat really yeah, or like why they
like you?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Guy?

Speaker 7 (12:00):
I always want like home cooked meals and stuff versus
a girl dinner because when I was by myself for single,
I could just eat whatever, Like a little bit of crackers,
Put that on my plate, right, make a little zucchini
something just simple easy, pop it in the airfryer. Yeah,
make a little zucchini like something just really quick with
some hot sauce. It was my thing, yes, and then
now zucchini agains zucchini Zucchina, and I love it.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
But with Hobby, he can't eat crackers and zucchini like.

Speaker 8 (12:26):
It just doesn't worry all of us. Like I would
be good with that. But Mike is the type of
man that needs a meal. We need a main course,
and we need a side. Then we probably need like
some sort of bread or potato. Right, I'm like a
mom in the seventies, like whipping up like courses with
my apron right.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Right.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Someone texted, I used to date a guy that had
to be completely naked to go number two.

Speaker 1 (12:49):
I heard it. I've done that before.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Apparently he had to be comfortable and relaxed getting naked.
The only reason I would be completely naked doing that
is if I and I often do this shower, shower
and media after. Yeah, I like to try and time
that stuff out to where a shower is at least
on the game plan.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
No, I'm very strategic about that.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Mike does the same thing. He has a shower after.

Speaker 4 (13:10):
Like if I go home and it's like, okay, that
that's gonna happen, and then I look at my schedule
and be like, all right, well, I don't have anything
to do until I go to the gym. Then I
go to the gym, and then I'm going to take
a shower, so I'm good until I won't see anybody
until then, so we're all set. But like, if I'm
going to go out after the set event, then there
is a shower to follow. And the worst possible scenario

(13:30):
is if you don't think you have to and then
you take a shower, you get out of the shower
and you realize you have to, and you're like damn it,
because then not like what if I'm going on a date,
you know, and it's like I'll shower again because you know,
if it's not a ghost poop, I can't be caught
off guard, you know what. I can't be caught off guard,
Like I can't have this situation where I'm at the
dinner and then I didn't and then it's like, hey,

(13:51):
well you want to go back.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
To mine, And it's like I wasn't ready for this.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, for my.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
Friends and I, like we all have this shared experience
of our men using our expensive shampoo and conditioner and
stuff in the shower. Like one of their husbands was like, yeah,
it just smells really good. So I started using it
as body washed, like they don't know how expensive is.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Like my boyfriend is brown.

Speaker 5 (14:12):
Here he was using my purple blonde shampoo and he
has his own shampoo.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Needs to learn how to read.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
Because yesterday it was he's taking suppositories in his mouth.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Well those weren't in the jar, so that one's what
how about.

Speaker 4 (14:28):
We read before he puts that in her mouth? And
then like he's using purple hair uh shampoo on his bra.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Knew he was using it.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Like anything I read this even if I'm too I'm
not going to use purple hair shampoo. If I don't
have purple hair, I'm not going to do I'm.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Going to do anything to your know that, so I'm
not going to do it.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
I'm going to read the bottle because what if I
actually mix up the nair bottle. What if the nair
bottle's just hanging around and before long got chunks of
hair coming out.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
I just I like to look at what I'm putting
on my body before I do it. Yeah, if it
doesn't right, yeah, I know what the thing is. I'm
not just popping it in my mouth or putting it
on my hair or my body.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm just not well again, he thought it was magnesium.
I'm not suppository.

Speaker 8 (15:13):
I wouldn't take anything out of your jar period that.
I can't get over it exactly it all day yesterday.
I'm like, I'm not just taking random stuff. I'm not
using random stuff unless I know what it is. Thought
he knew what it was, but he clearly didn't. But
there's no way to be sure that's not in a bottle.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Thank you.

Speaker 6 (15:31):
It's a surprising thing, though, how freely men will use
women's product.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
What I'm saying, I won't.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I never will.

Speaker 6 (15:37):
Use these products, Like I never let me put on
his deodorant, like he will use my deodorant.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
No, with my lotion, he will pick it up. You
guys need to All my friends men do the same thing.

Speaker 5 (15:49):
And it's like that was over one hundred dollars shampoo
and you're just like putting it on your body.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Stop it.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
That's wild.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
Like we are two men that live together and we
have separate shampoo, body wash, your like diferent brands, different.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Sons, like different locations.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, bring random substances in my hand and putting them
on my body unless I look to see what you
don't pee everywhere? You know, I just seems kind of obvious.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
I don't know your gender.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Man. Men get shrinkage when they swim in the pool.
That was surprising to women. I guess it has to
do with the temperature again.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yeah, let me see here.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
My mom used to tell me not to use this
is a dude, I'm nate. My mom used to tell
me not to use her shampoo and conditioner because it
was for girls and it would turn my hair green
because I'm a boy. She didn't want me to use
her fancy shamboo and conditioner.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Oh she's smart.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
I was embarrassingly old before I figured it out. See
there you go, that's that's very smart.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yes, I'm going to do that. Have your partners ever
used your toothbrush?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, I might have some of you guys.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I had. I had a girl do that one time.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
We were in a hotel and she wasn't expected to
be there and she just I see her brushing her
teeth and I was like, did you bring a toothbrush
with you? And she's like, no, I just the one
that was in your thing. And I was like, I
realized that we were just very close to one another.
But I wasn't between your teeth.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
Right, you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (17:10):
Like the activities that took place were unspeakable moments ago.
But I mean, I mean, that's different than my plaque.
It really can we just exa.

Speaker 8 (17:23):
We have the same like power toothbrush and I have
them labeled like one has an M, one has a J,
so there is no room for error.

Speaker 6 (17:31):
He almost broke up in Mexico over this over tooth
brush international border.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
You know, I threw that thing. I threw that toothbrush away,
went and got another one.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Yep.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
But he had to go find me another tooth brush,
Like he had to go downstairs and by at the
little bar, and.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
He went to the bar.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
Right we were about to break up over that.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
He went to the bar and got you another toothbrush.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yes, but you guys do like other And that's what
he said.

Speaker 4 (17:57):
He's like, come on, but there is a difference between
what is between my teeth.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
And in my mouth almost.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
Well, I'm not going to at all detailed.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
But I know and I'm not a germophobe, but that
even grosses.

Speaker 8 (18:09):
That is because it's literally like a device that removes dirt.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Out of Thank you, thank you. It's not necessary.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
I'm putting it in like, and the other.

So kids under sixteen will no longer be allowed to
live stream on Instagram without parental consent. So Instagram users,
if you are sixteen or under, you will not be
able to unblur nudity in direct messages that you receive
without parental approval.

Speaker 3 (19:22):
So you gotta be like, hey, mom, can I look
at this? Hey, it's blurring? Can I look at this?

Speaker 4 (19:27):
A meta platform said Tuesday it has widened its safety
measures for teenagers. They launched its teen Account program for
Instagram in September to get parents more options to supervise
their children's online activity amid a growing backlash against how
social media affects the lives of young people. The latest
changes will roll out first to users in the US, Britain, Canada,
and Australia, before going global for everyone in the following months.

(19:51):
Under the changes, teens under sixteen are block from using
Instagram Live unless parents give them permission. They also need
permission to turn off the feature that blurs images containing
suspected nudity in dms. In another major update, Medicine it's
extending the teen account safeguards to its Facebook and Messenger platforms.
Uber has released its annual Lost and Found Index, which

(20:13):
is a list of items left behind in rideshare cars
that includes a mannequin head with human hair, a live turtle,
and a five gallon bucket of beans. The most commonly
left behind the items were phones, keys, wallets. New York
City the most forgetful city of all of them. Some
of the most unique items cited by Uber included a

(20:35):
mannequin head with human hair at chainsaw, a Ghostbusters ghost tarp,
fresh breast milk, a live pet turtle, a urinome, a
set of Shrek ears, fifteen hookahs okay of one hundred
red roses. I'm not sure how you'd forget that a urinal?

Speaker 1 (20:52):
How do you forget that?

Speaker 3 (20:53):
O zepic forget forgetting.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Oh wait, I'll ten live lobsters, a Viking drinking horn,
a taxi dermied rabbit, and a passenger's divorce papers. The
food related items on the index a five gallon bucket
of beans, one hundred and excuse me, one hundred and
seventy five hamburger sliders, one hundred and eight eggs, twenty
four cans of corn, and a bucket of feta cheese

(21:18):
all left behind.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
So I'm Jason.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Tell me about your bracket this year for the for
March Madness you filled out of I'm sure you fell
out of bracket?

Speaker 3 (21:27):
And who did you pick to win the whole thing?

Speaker 8 (21:28):
Uh? Roll Tide? Alabama? Yeah, not bad? I think they did.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
They did pretty well, didn't they, Alabama?

Speaker 4 (21:34):
I don't.

Speaker 8 (21:34):
I can't remember what they did. Ample, I can't remember, honestly,
but like a seventh seed.

Speaker 4 (21:41):
So, filling out a bracket in the NCAA men or
women's tournament is all but impossible to get it exactly
right because you've got sixty four teams and there's upsets,
so there's all kinds of crazy stuff that happens. It's
it's unheard of, almost to get it. I'm in fact,
it's only happened. I don't know if it's ever happened,
But the odds are somewhere between one in nine point
two quin trillion of getting exactly right a bracket exactly right.

(22:03):
ESPN reports ad somebody picked sixty two of sixty three
games right for the first time ever in its bracket challenge.
The only mistake came in the tournament's third game, when
a person picked number eight Uta over number nine Indiana.
A second person began their bracket fifty seven to oh
the longest wins streak. Ever, another person came within one game.
In the CBS Sports Bracket Challenge on the women's side,

(22:25):
the only mistake they made was picking number seven at
Oklahoma State to beat number ten South Dakota State. Ah,
that's a tricky one, that old Oklahoma State South Dakota
State battle. You know, you just never know how that's
gonna go. But that's wild one. What did I just
say something? Quinn trillion, One in nine point two Quinn trillion.

(22:47):
Those ear odds. Tom Brady and Tiger Woods are putting
their money to great use. They're part of a team
bringing Game of Throne style dire wolves back from extinction
after ten thousand years. That's cool, bro, it seems like
a story from the Onion. I might find out it's
from the Onion. So far it's not from the Onion.
So Tom Brady and Tiger Woods are investors in a
company hoping to bring the dire wolf back from extinction.

(23:11):
The wolf is a species that has been extinct on
Earth for over ten thousand years. Using death genetic engineering
in ancient preserved DNA, Colossal Bioscience deciphered the dire wolf
genome rewrote the genetic code of the common gray wolf
to then match it. Two male dire wolves, Romulus and Remus,
were born in October using two surrogate domestic hounds. A

(23:34):
female dire wolf, Callisi, was born in January via another surrogate.
So yeah, people are spending a bunch of money on this,
so we have different kind of wolves.

Speaker 8 (23:45):
Like, guys, there are tariffs, okay, Like, there are better
things that you can invest your money in right now.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
We don't need to bring one. I don't know where.
There's probably a tariff on this.

Speaker 8 (23:52):
So invest your money tariffs or helping people that are
suffering from tariffs.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Everybody, Yeah, you would have to help everybody. We're all
suffering from check.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
I could use a stimmy.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
I made a mistake of looking at my four one
K yesterday and guess what all those jokes about retiring,
I'll be here for a while.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
I talked a lot longer than I thought.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
Lebron James will become the first male athlete with an
official Ken doll made in his likeness. The figure was
created as part of Barbie's signature Ken Bassator's collection, which
celebrated influential Ken figures who were creating positive change. Cool
A way me driverless taxi and they're all over Arizona.
I don't know where else they have these things. They're
you know, autonomous uber is basically it's a card pulls up,

(24:35):
there's nobody driving it and just you. I guess you
order it like an uber. I've never used one, and
it just takes you where you got to go. Somebody
decided to get cute, though, and try and take it
through a Chick fil A drive through, and they didn't
know what to do with that. This was in Santa Monica, California.
Video shows the autonomous vehicles stalled out in the middle
of the drive through entrance, causing a larger than usual
line for waiting customers. Chick fil A workers were seen

(24:56):
standing around the vehicle, which had it is hazard lights on,
before it back briefly and then stopped again. One man
said he waited in line for half an hour before
being told the restaurant was now closed because of this thing.
Waimo did confirm that the vehicle got stuck and its
team recovered it from the site. A spokesperson said the
company is committed to continuously improving our service and making
appropriate updates to prevent this from happening in the future.

(25:19):
Why are we taking Waymo through the drive room? Man
just pulled them in front. I don't know. I mean
that we're really asking for it now.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
It's very wild to see these cars in action. They're
all over your Arizona. Yeah, her mom said. A guy
got stuck in the back and it just kept going
in circles.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
That did happen.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
He couldn't get out, and they called the number, and
like the people at Weymo were like, I don't.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Know, and we're still using that Like, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Just imagine being at the stoplight and you look over
and there's a car and there's a person just sitting
in the vagine.

Speaker 4 (25:47):
And you see all the time there. Now it's crazy.
One will be coming down the street. I'll be like,
what if I walked in front of this thing? I
guess it has censors, it would stop, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, I don't want to farry out.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
You know, I'm not going to try it. I'm not
using any of your shampoo when I go to your house.
I have no, I don't have purple hair. It's National
Unicorn Day, it's National Library Outreach Day, it's National Former
Prisoners of War Recognition Day. Should we add that to
the Fred Show constitution? Shn't put anything in your mouth
that's foreign. If you don't know what it is, don't
put it in your mouth fresh and don't Well maybe

(26:19):
maybe that goes with the same along the same lines.
If if you don't know what it is or it's
not yours, don't put it in your mouth.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Well hey now, oh no, hold on, I need an amendment.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
But hold on, but you know what that is?

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Oh yeah, I'm familiar.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
So that was my thing.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
If you don't know what it.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Is and or it's not yours, got it okay, don't
put it in your mouth?

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Got it okay?

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Seems like something that we were telling me. I know
you're teaching your child this. I know, I know we're
going through this with Gigi. If you don't know what
it is, don't put it in your mouth or.

Speaker 7 (26:48):
Just like nothing, just keep thinking, don't Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah, seems obvious to merit.

Speaker 4 (26:54):
The Entertamber report and vlogs are Audios Journal's neck.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
It's the Fresh.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Job's entertayt He's on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Beyonce's fans are frustrated after seeing ticket prices for her
Cowboy Carter tour fluctuate, with some finding cheaper tickets available
after they paid for a pre sale ticket. So one
fan named Jessica Chu posted online saying, if you got
tickets to the La Cowboy Carter Tour stop and want
to ruin your own day, go look at the price
of tickets now. A spokesperson for stub Hub says the

(27:25):
price variation is due to supply and demand, the number
of tour dates in a given city, and timing of purchase.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
The last one I have a problem with timing of purchase.

Speaker 5 (27:34):
While Ticketmaster denies using surge pricing for dynamic algorithms to
manipulate prices. Fans like Jessica question if pre sales might
be contributing to higher initial costs. Despite the frustrations, demand
for of course, Beyonce's tour is still high. It's Beyonce
with prices aligning with her previous tours average cost. But yeah,

(27:54):
I'd be pissed if I got pre sale, you know,
because I think the pre sale shouldn't be a surge pricing, right,
it should just be the you know, original price of
the ticket.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
I don't think the searge.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
Pricing would apply when like they're out of ticket.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Right, like based on demand.

Speaker 8 (28:08):
Right when you're doing Axel, you don't know what the
demand is because they're not un sale.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
Yet correct, And now the prices are dropping in some cities,
and they're like, wait, what the hell?

Speaker 1 (28:15):
I should be rewarded for being you know, a good
fan and going early.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
And of course it's not the artist, not Beyonce's fault,
but we gotta do something about it.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
So o, kid Rock get back in the White House.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
In a wild throwback to the nineties, Green Day's Billy
Joe Armstrong, Kiki's favorite, gave some behind the scenes.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Tea about what they call him.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
They call him Billy Deal.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah, it's his name.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Yeah, they call him Billy Joe, they call him. She
was right, he does have spiky hair.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
He gave some behind the scenes tea about Lallapalooza nineteen
ninety four. Turns out Perry Farrell, who's the frontman of
Jane's Addiction and Lala co founder, initially rejected Green Day
from the lineup, calling them a boy band. He didn't
want them on the bill at all, the dramas detailed
in the new book Lallapalooza, The Uncensored Story of Alternative
Rocks Wildest Festival.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Apparently, and that's the longest title of a book ever.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Perry thought the Green Day was a manufactured acts, but
after some convincing, he agreed to let them play the
tour only half of the tour, though splitting time with
Japanese band The Boredoms. Billy Joe wasn't shy about his
feelings either, calling Perry and e Fing a hole and
dedicating the song Chumped to him him while live on
stage at LALLA, and when Perry's team complained, Billy said,

(29:23):
tell him to stop acting like one. The two later
cross paths at Woodstock nineteen ninety four and they had
a really awkward handshake and that was that.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (29:32):
I have to look up whether or not they have
played since, but it feels like they maybe would have.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
I got to look it up and I'll have an
answer for you.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
The first time I saw Green Day live was in
San Antonio, and I don't know why I remember. I
remember this because it was the first time and this
is before like TikTok and everybody was going viral on
their phone, and it was the first time that I
had seen a band hand a guitar to someone in
the audience, like a kid, and the kid goes up
there and shreds it and then they gave him the guitar.

(30:00):
The first time I'd seen this before, and I was like,
that is un I remember the person I was with,
I was I think Tony Travado was there, our friend.
I was like yeah, I was like, uh, yes, he
was the program director of Mixed nainety six to one,
San Antonio's number one hit music station.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
That's right, I was.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
I was a rock shocking the mic at night. Oh yeah,
doing the hot Girl check in San Antonio's Most Wanted
the top five songs at eight o'clock. Yeah, write them
all down, count them back. At the end, you win
a pizza.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Pizza, Yeah, your.

Speaker 4 (30:31):
Chance to win it.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
Yeah. The only way you got to write all the
songs down. You don't remember this, do you remember?

Speaker 4 (30:35):
Just growing up, every top forty station had the wacky
night show that was me, all the wacky screaming and
yelling and the wacky bits, and then we had them.
We had it was uh ninety six to seven Kiss FM,
all of Austin's hit music, not just some of it,
with the Austin's Most Wanted countdown all the I can't
do the whole spiel anymore. I used to feel and

(30:56):
do it all fast, countdown all five songs and then
write I don't remember what it was. You had to
write them all down and then call me at the
end of the thing, and that I would say what
was song number four?

Speaker 3 (31:05):
And you have to say what was song number two?

Speaker 4 (31:07):
You'd have to know them all and then you want
to pizza pizza anyway, So that was the first time
I see the gimmick. But see now I realize that
this happens all the time and it gets captured all
the time. They almost can't do it anymore because it's like,
surely they scouted the kid out somehow.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
Because there's no way.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
Like very rarely do you see a video of them
doing that and the guy goes up there and doesn't
know what he's doing. Almost every time I've seen it happen,
the person's amazing. Yeah, So I feel like now they
like find these people and they invite them and they
do the thing. But at the time, I'd never seen
it before, and I was like, that is amazing.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (31:37):
I wonder if they're ever just natural and real and
they just trust the person or not. But yeah, we've
never seen it mess up.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
I'm like, kid, that kid was. It was perfect. It
seems like a prodigy.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
It was amazing, And even like Billy Joe was like,
this is amazing and like hands them the guitar and
gibs and I realize they have like they do it
every city.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Ye, how do they do that?

Speaker 5 (31:54):
I don't believe it to at Cheerin is gearing up
to drop his eighth studio album, Play, and it's said
to be his most playful record yet.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
He was on call her Daddy told.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Alex Cooper that instead of doing the usual usual single, drop,
then album, he's rolling out new music every two or
three weeks to showcase a full range of sounds and
it's all different. So first up was the track Asi Zam,
which pulls influence from Persian music, followed by the upcoming
Old Phone, which leans into Nashville country.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
He said the album reflects a new attitude. Why the
f not. After spending time in.

Speaker 5 (32:25):
India collaborating with musicians from all over the world, Ed
wanted to break out of the singer songwriter mold, and
with Play he's going for bright, colorful, celebratory, a major
shift from his emotional tone of his last two albums
and autumn variations. No word on the official release date,
but I will tell you when I know, and yeah,
I'm excited to hear all different kinds of Ed Country.

(32:46):
Ed this wild. By the way, if you missed any
part of our show, type the frend Show on demand
and set us as a.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Preset on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 4 (32:53):
I would say maybe on the Tangent our author on
Centered podcast, we could talk about all the wacky things
that happened on the night time radio show that I
used to do when I was twenty three years old.
But I actually don't want to do that because I
don't it's a miracle that the audio of all this
stuff doesn't exist.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
My favorite is when you would guess like hardwood floors
or carpet downstairs.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Oh no, no, that I never did that bit. Oh,
I don't know if I can, probably not. How can
I tell this story? I worked for the biggest moron
in Charlotte for about five minutes. I'm listening, and if
my friend Bruce Logan's listening, he knows exactly who I'm
talking about, the biggest more This guy was a moron,

(33:33):
And so how do I tell the story without giving
too much away? Okay, so I'm doing a show like
this in Charlotte. Okay, it's targeting, even it's targeting like
a twenty five year old female. That's the target audience
of our show at the time. So they hire this
new guy to run the whole thing. And he comes
in and he calls me in his office and he

(33:55):
used to he used to idolize a rock station, like
he ran a rock station before this, and he idolized
the guy who did the show, and that targets men typically,
So those things that they're going to talk about on
a like a classic rock show are going to be
different than the things that we would talk about here
because we're not I mean, we're for all people, but
like I'm not, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's

(34:16):
a whole different audience you're talking about, Like I don't know,
I don't mean to generalize, but you're talking about truck drivers.
And you know, whoever listened to Steely Dan or what,
I don't know it led Zeppelin or whatever. So he goes, well,
I want you to listen to that show, and I
want you to give me a report tomorrow on what
you heard, and because he's the best in the world.
And I was like, okay, So I went and listened
and I'm a nice come back and the guy's like, well,

(34:36):
what did you hear? I said, well, I heard him.
They did a bit where women would call in and
then a group of men. There were like five or
six guys on the show, and they would all sit
around and just based on the woman's voice, they would
guess how she was groomed.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
That was the bit, and they had a name for it,
which I'm not going to say, and he goes, isn't
that so great? So do that tomorrow morning? Then like,
you want me to do that on our show? He said, yeah,
yea yeah, tomorrow morning, and I kid you not.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
I kid you not.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
A week later, Chicago called and I was out of there.

Speaker 6 (35:08):
Oh goodness, right, you would have god uh huh oh
so that wasn't yours.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
No I didn't. I didn't know.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
I didn't do that things on me, thank god, No, no, no,
thank god. They tried to get me to do it.
I was like, no, this is Queen talking about and
I'm not doing that. I mean, if I had a
show on that station at the time, I might it
was kind of funny, but I do I said'm not
appropriate call and I think it's funny. It's kind of

(35:36):
easy to play that game these days. But but anyway,
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
I was like, what are you doing in it?

Speaker 4 (35:41):
So and then and that same guy, that same guy
a couple of days later said we need to fire him,
like he doesn't get it, we need to fire him.
And then literally literally twenty four hours later, I got
the Chicago job. And then the guy pulls me in
his office and says, you're a superstar. I want to
run your syndication someday. And I said to him, you
told my boss to fire me yesterday, and he just

(36:01):
looked at me.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
He didn't know what to say.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Anyway, have you have you told him you got syndicated.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
I don't know if he knows or cares, but he's
not in the industry. It's surprising him shockingly, he's no
longer in the industry. I don't know what happened. I
have no idea.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
He gotta go blogs and new waiting by the phone
