when everyone's gone and it's empty and you gotta do
the rest of the show with nobody here. Pictures now, Okay,
don't make it look busy, make it look busy. Yeah, exactly.
We don't have to do the thing that other people
do where we just don't pan around. It'll be really
tight shot. Yeah. If you ever notice any kind of

(09:21):
like promotional or radio or media event when if there's
nobody there, there'll be no shot other than of just
the stage, they won't they won't shoot. It's true, Bail.
It's given me the look. I'm like, I know I'm

I'm feeling a certain kind of way. I really am.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Where the mimosas at right Literally, there's a bar right there.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
This is a sign. So she made a sign. There's
a sign in the studio. It's been there for probably
I don't know, a decade, and it was in its
call It says I suck at my job. MJ made
it when he was on the show, and I don't
remember what he did that we punished him for, but
we made him go. Was that Did he have to

(10:07):
go on the Today Show? No, that was the one
that said, Oh no, he went on the Today Show
with a different sign.

Speaker 9 (10:13):
No.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
This, We just made him go stand on the street corner,
I think with this, and then we kept the sign
and then she made us like a replica of it,
just like down to the finest detail. It's it's pretty amazing, intricate.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
And people always ask why I sit under that sign?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh yeah it does. It is by your seat. Unfortunately,
if it makes you feel we make you suck. You
make me sit there if it makes you feel better.
I used to sit in front of the signs, so
so you know, only the finest sit in front of
the ice suck at my job sign.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, it's the flying shirts she does say tis do fly?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Look at these, you guys are amazing, I know. And
then just look at her shoes and look at this.
She's everything, Michelle Branch everything to you anyway. And for
those of you who were curious, the text platform does work,
see yeah.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
I just got to they have to verify it to me,
two step, two step autened.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
What is it authentication. That's what it is. Yeah, I
was thinking, I know, you love to authenticate. They finally
got a hold of all my devices and made it's
like we look at it anymore. I don't have my
sound effect today, so be nice, Be nice. I guess
Paulina could play it for me, But be nice. I
don't let my lethal shooter leave me alone in the
comments things. We're not trying to get fancy today. No, no,
we don't need to get We don't need to get fancy.

(11:31):
So here we are. We're live to Maple Bacon. No,
I got it right. Don't worry, Jason. I'm all over
this right here. You see this, that's a sign. It
remind me of where I am. I love it because
I would need that anyway. But I would also need
it because we were at a similarly named place in
a different part of our listening audience area, different part
of Chicago Land. Is this considered Chicago Land. We're in Indiana,
Yeah it is. I think Chicago Lands like the whole region, right,

(11:55):
I thought so. I mean, but I got it. I
was talking to these guys. I got my car this
morning and I put it in the GPS. It said
sixty seven miles. We are sixty seven miles from my bed. Yeah, thanks, Karen,
I'm far from home. King, you're kid?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Do you miss your mom?

Speaker 1 (12:14):
I missed my mom?

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Right?

Speaker 1 (12:15):
You're giving me? Is your what's your kidd? I can't
see my house from here. I don't like it. I
needed my.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Real idea to get here.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's all I know. Show you didn't need your passport?

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Well, no, that one counts as a passport. You had
to pull years out too.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Can I also just take a moment, while we're being
ultra local today to discuss the business model that is
this the Skyway? Can we discuss you got to take
the Skyway? I look, I got to spend twenty seven
dollars to get here or whatever it was. Yes, lucky me,
I'll be expensing that. By the way.

Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's such a cool ride, though, isn't it?

Speaker 8 (12:48):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (12:48):
I couldn't see anything because it was hitch black. But
why did the things never work? Of all of all
of the things on the Skyway that you would think
they would want to work perfectly, it'd be the things
that take your money, right, but they don't. They never work.
Like today, I hit the gates, Yeah, I hit one
like just I mean, all of them worked. I got
a little you know, toll pass whatever it is, whatever

(13:09):
they call them here. I've lived in a bunch of
different places. They call them different things. I passed, they
call them here, right, I've only lived here for fifteen years,
but I always want to say toll tag. Yes they
call them in Texas then anyway, yes, and it never fails.
I pull up to one and it just doesn't open,
and then I'm the one and luckily it's four in
the morning, so there was nobody behind me. But then
I'm the one holding everything up. Yeah, but why doesn't
it work? You would think the money taking device would work? Yeah,

(13:32):
every time.

Speaker 4 (13:33):
That's my biggest fear, to make everyone wait behind me
and they're honking and stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
No, you need to get rid of this whole system.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah, it's a crash. Shoot. It's one of the riskiest
things I do in my life is choose which stall
I'm going to go in which lane, right, just to
see if it's going to work or not.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
They need to get like Illinois and just let us
drive through and.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
Bill us later.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, I agree, you have to pay the bill, but yeah,
yes you do. I agree. Why does it never work.
I'm you would think of all the things they would
make sure they could give them money out of you, right,
I don't know. Oh the bar's open too, would you?
Oh my goodness, Oh my god.

Speaker 10 (14:07):
We got most going. We got Bellini's going breakfast with
a bar. I love it all right, let me do
some headlines. That was when I was supposed to do
ten minutes ago. But that's the other thing about listening
to this as we as we continue to Thank You
thirteen tour, is that you're looking at a table of
people with varying levels of add and ADHD self diagnosed
and uh. And so you take especially me, you take

(14:30):
me out to a place with shiny objects, and it's
like we can sit here for hours and I'll just
comment on every passing movement.

Speaker 8 (14:36):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I'm in the middle of a story. Oh donut holes,
I'm in the middle of Oh look coffee. Oh hey,
what's going on? Chris, owner of the place, has got
a bunch of change around his neck.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
Chris like, we're not drinking in a couple.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Hours, Yeah, Chris, use everything to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have to fly a plane after this, so I
probably won't. I probably won't. I can't promise you that.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
I can't just have one. Yeah, I mean that, Well,
just tell me off there. But I trying to.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Remember us the regulation. It's you can't drink within fifty
feet of the airplane and you can't smoke within eight hours.
That's what it is. Right.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Oh, well you're more than fifty feet away from the airplane. Yeah, yeah,
you can get slashed. I think it's he had a
way around.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
Actually, I think you're not supposed to smoke within fifty
feet of the airplane and drink within eight hours. I
think that's what. Okay, God, I got it. I say,
as long as you don't drink within fifty feet of
the airplane, didn't happen, right.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Yeah, you always drink on your plane. So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't know what you're talking about. I am, I
don't know. I don't have I don't have the regulations
in front of me. Why do you have the beverage
cart for me? But I get to push out, Yeah
that's true.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
I do.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I do make her where and you? Yeah, I make
both of you wear a full on flight attendant outfit.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
Yes, Britney Spears toxic music video that is what I'm giving.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Yeah, no, that's true. Yeah, no, you're right. I guess
the passengers can do whatever they want. Yeah we do. Yeah.
One are the headlines, brod Yeah no, and thank you
for man. You are really on it. I really am
tossing me to sponsors. You're tossing me to stories. Why
I have a sad story to start. I don't like
sad stories, but I have to start with a sad
story because it's kind of everywhere. But a tragic helicopter

(16:05):
crash in New York City's Hudson River playing the lives
of all six people on board yesterday. The victims included
a bunch of executives from Spain and his family young children.
Really a terrible story. They were visiting for Barcelona when
the accident occurred. The Bell two O six helicopter, which
was operated by a tour company, departed from downtown Manhattan
about three pm, and about eighteen minutes into the flight,

(16:28):
they experienced a catastrophic failure. Really sad news though, as
they went into the river. So that's my sad story
of the day. Well, this is sad too. Egg prices
have jumped to a record high right before Easter six
twenty three per dozen. I guess that is that was
it fifty cents an egg or something like that? How

(16:49):
much were they before I got me honest with you.
I mean, maybe I'm just privileged, but I wasn't really
ig in the the egg prices when I was like,
I was buying them. I had to buy him. I
had to have them, I want to say. At some
point it was like three something like four just under four?

Speaker 8 (17:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Six? Yeah, Well, and don't forget about the story that
we did. It is, in fact not cheaper just to
go get chickens. I don't think. Yeahs really good food.
And sorry that we did the story a few months ago.
I have the chicken. I know. I don't know why
you bought them, because we did do the story several
months ago. But people were under the impression, I think
that if you went and bought chickens, that that was
somehow a cheaper workaround. And I'm thinking I'm thinking no,

(17:27):
because you know, you got to feed the things, and
they're living and everything. They gotta have a place to
you know, So no, I don't think that's a great idea.
If you already have them, good for you?

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Well, I do, and don't tell my landlord because it's
a small space. But I did spend money on their
little outfits, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
How the chicken. Yeah, so I don't know if I'm
saving any money.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
You should listen to the Fred Show because I gave
you this valuable information months and months ago.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
I try my best.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
It's okay, record egg prices according to new research, the
panic percentage, This is the real story. In the New
York Post this morning, the panic percentage would be start
worrying about their phone charge? What is the percentage? And
y'all made me put the percentage thing on my little battery.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
No, I don't. I don't have that.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
No, somebody gave me a hard time about it. I
can't remember who it was. Someone called me a savage.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's a need to know basis. I don't need to say.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
And I don't like it. The little picture was hard enough.
And now I have an actual precise number for me
to know that was you. I knew it was one
of you. I'm taking it off. I don't like it.
What is the percentage? Kiki? When you see it that,
you're like, oh, we have a problem. Okay, Yeah, that's
a that's a problem.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah, what, Jacon, you still got about thirty minutes.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
I I can't really be bothered with my phone, so
I'm never really worried about it.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
I don't like my phone, yeah, but I mean you
don't look at your phone at some point and realize
it's going to die and you're like, oh, this is
a problem.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Only if I'm like traveling or need to go out.
Other than that, it's really I don't like my phone.
I don't want it.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Well, that's the only time it's ever gonna die is
when you absolutely have to have it. That's you know,
like when you you're on a plane for a while
and you have to get the uber when you land,
but you don't have any battery left.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
That's when only time is stressed. O.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Like right now, I'm in a gazillion percent, and I'll
be at a gazillion percent all morning. But like if
I needed it to get someplace, Jason, what's the number
for you? The panic percentage on your phone? You guys
are gonna judge me.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
I don't leave the house or anywhere that I'm not
in my car or near a wall under fifty. So
like I have to be a fifty to walk like
into public where I can't.

Speaker 1 (19:27):
Be an outlet. Well, you're closed thirty nine percent. That's
the number. That's the panic percentage number. People start freaking
out at thirty nine percent. And by the way, Klein's
always on my right and my laptop's always on my left,
so it really looks like I'm having a three person conversation.
It's like mean girl in high school. It's like, I'm
not talking to you.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
It does like work my emotions a little bit at
these things.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I get sad, but.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Well you you could sit there too, and then Kiki
could get my back because my laptop's over here.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
So it's like, I sit where my boss Jason tells
me to say.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
I forgot that we work for him. That's I yeah,
him and.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Bella are my bosses. What they tell me to do.

Speaker 8 (20:03):
I do?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Oh yeah, we all worked for Bella. There's no doubt
about that. We did. The weird stuff that people found
in uh or that Uber found in ubers yesterday. Well now,
the organization that cleans up the Jersey Shore has released
a list of the weird things that were left on
the beach. This is Clean Ocean Action. They spend time
cleaning up New Jersey beaches, the trash picked up is
sometimes really strange. So this is what they found in

(20:26):
twenty twenty four, left on the beach. Vampire teeth, what
a rubber foot. I feel like somebody might need that.
An unopened can of ravioli.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
You're gonna need that.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
When I'm thinking beach fair, I'm really not thinking, oh,
you know what, bring that chef boy ard with us,
because I mean, how am I gonna? What am I
doing with that on the beach?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Right?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
So good though I had it recently just seed, No,
not on the beach, but don't receive it so slaps.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
And it don't.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
No, it does slap, but it has that slight taste
of metal, a little metal taste to it with childhood. Snow,
it's delicious. That's why still eat foot long meatball subs
from from subway? Is it the best meatball sub in
the in the place? Snow? Could I get a better
meatball sub? Probably? Within I could probably throw a rock
from my house to a better one. Probably. Do I

(21:14):
get that one because it tastes like when I was
a kid. That's why I get that one. Yeah, I
think that's why people like McDonald's as much as they
do yes, because you grow up with it. It was
a treat when you were a kid, and it's like
McDonald's breakfast tastes like my childhood.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yep. Yeah, it's really good though too, it is.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, and bacon's even better. Right, No, god, yeah you
are really yeah everything? Did you take a yeah? I again,
look at Jason just steering us right faces, almost like
you've been hanging out with the casuits and the consultants.
It's like, steer this man, how are you doing? Good morning,

(21:53):
Steer this man back on track. This is stuff they
found on the beach in New Jersey. And unopened can
of ravu olea punch, a full container of Wawa Brands
sausage and eggs, a gallon of maple syrup on the beach.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
The eggs and the bacon a gallon.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
I mean, if I'm going to the beach, I'm not
eating a carb for like six weeks, and you're out
there eating pancakes and maple syrup on the beach. Yes,
and in VISI line retainer, a message in a liquor bottle,
a Victoria's Secret bra, a jar of marijuana, a full
inflatable hot tub, a bedpan now that's for the person

(22:36):
who wants to be uh, you know, a little bit
efficient with their time on the beach. I don't want
to have to go too far, you know. All well,
I'll just lean over right here and expose myself to
every one of the beach. I mean, that's that's yeah.
When I go to the beach, you're at the beach.
What did I just see yesterday? I hope this was
a joke, but I don't think it was. You know,
the Masters is going on one of the golfers and

(22:59):
he was like, not a known guy. I think he
was an amateur. Right in the middle of his round yesterday,
I guess whipped it out and peed in the in
a lake on the on the Augusta course. And they
have porta potties everywhere, so I don't know why he
thought that to do that, but they caught him on camera.
They don't. They don't play in Augusta like this. Dude's
gonna get kicked out and never come back like he should.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
You can't have your phone? Who got it on camera?

Speaker 11 (23:21):
Well?

Speaker 1 (23:22):
I guess they have media, okay, you know, but like, uh,
I'm like, dude, really, you're in Augusta.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
I have some respect.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Why are you paying in and like, humph, what kind
of savage golf you playing?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
You don't want to hit that shot while you have
to pee. You know, you've got to focus.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
We go to the one of the fifty porta potties.
Is right, dude, they're gonna they might This guy may
not live. They may, he may receive he may received
the Augusta death sentence. They may they may strangle him
with a green jacket. I don't know. You can't be
doing stuff like that. Uncooked items, a boat cabin door,
in a bathroom sink. These are all the things they
found in New Jersey on the beach. I'm looking for ange.

(24:00):
This is for Paulina, who's back in the studio pushing buttons.
But Lay's says they have three finalists for their do
us a Flavor contest. One fan's gonna win a million
bucks for a new flavor that's been invented. I have
seven hundred thousand entries. The final three year up for
the big money. Bacon, grilled cheese, potato chips, Valentina and lime.

(24:24):
What's Valentina? It's hot sauce.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, okay, awesome hot sauce.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
And wavy Korean style fried chicken potato chips.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oooh that sounds really good.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, I'd probably eat that. If someone gets a million
bucks for them, whichever one they pick. I don't know
if you could vote on it or what, but anyway,
a million dollars if you came up with the next
new hotness and potato chip flavors, that's nice. It's National
Living Donor Day to day, National Donate Life, Blue and
Green Day, wear blue and green to raise awareness for
organ donation, National pet Day, National eight Track Tape Day.

(24:59):
And many people don't know what that is. Proud to say.
In my radio career, I used one Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I was. And it wasn't that I'm that old. It
was that I worked at a place that was that bad, right,
which was totally understandable. This was this was in the ox,
this was in the two thousands stuff that I was
still using CDs and and oh yeah, but it made

(25:20):
it a little bit exciting, you know, because you had
to like actually make sure that you had the things
that you were going to play. There was nothing there
was nothing more scary than if you got distracted and
you look down to your stack of CDs only to
find that you hadn't pulled the next hour CDs and
you didn't have anything to play, so you just reached
and grab one and played that.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
The CDs skip, Remember how they would skipped some time
and they were like scratched.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
Did that ever happen?

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Trying to think of all the CD calamities in my career,
it was a good year and a half I had
to use CDs. I don't know if they skipped because
the way we had them was like remember the CDs
came in like a box, like a CD box. That's
how it looked when we we would take the CD
put it like in a different kind of box. See
could stack them and like put them on a rack,
and then you put that whole thing in the CD

(26:01):
player like it was a whole, the whole, the whole,
like clear, it looks like you put the whole CD
container in the thing. But some of them you could
pop them out while they were playing, So there would
be we had like three CD players. If you weren't
paying attention, you were just grabbing them and like loading
up new music. Then you'd pop one out and stop
it while it was on the air. That was bad.
And then a lot of the CDs would have like
they would come with the song, so like Jagged Edge,

(26:24):
where the party at is what I'm thinking of? That
I played, and then the cut one would be the
radio edit. Cut two would be the instrumental. So if
you screwed up more than once, I would screw up
and play cut two and somebody would call me and go,
are you playing the instrumental? Jaggeted like where are the words?
And like I'm not bem like turning up like oh
I am. So those were those are the major issues

(26:46):
that you could Yeah, yeah, Now we just have no
backup plan for the computer that never works.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, let the Wi Fi go out like.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
The skips sometimes even perhaps we should have a short
little stack of CD somewhere couldn't hurt. And then we're
gonna leave off. Today. National Day of Silence is a
student led movement to protest bullying and harassment of LGBT
students and those who support them. So we're live this morning.
You can tell no real focus and that's okay. Maple

(27:18):
and Bacon in Valparaiso, and the place is full of
people already, and they don't normally even open. I thought
that maybe This was just like how it always is,
and they're making us feel good. They don't even open
until late most days. They open today at six and
every table's full.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah yeah, this is crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah. So these people have to stay all morning to
make us look good, because I'm telling you, in about
an hour, if they said to you, we're gonna look
like total idiots. Cam when you're ready for an entertainer report,
Ready good, you got three minutes. So if you want
to go, like take a lot front the building, maybe
you go pee twice or three times and then and
then come back. Rose Bradshaw is not one O three
five Kiss FM, Chicago's number one in music station, Maple

(27:54):
and Bacon and Valparaiso. It's a thank You thirteen tour
and we just got some stuff. What is your name, sir?

(28:33):
but it's fine. I'm not being compensated except for a
really colorful hat that I was given, but I'll probably
wear so. Entertainer report is on the Bread Show.

Speaker 3 (28:44):
Miss Taylor Swift has filed a cease and assist against
Kanye West after the rapper posted really sexually explicit messages
about her. If you missed it, he claimed on X
that Justin Bieber and Harry Styles.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Hit it from both guys at the same time.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Because I say that he described it, you know, really
graphically and.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Said it was one hundred percent true.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Thinking it's not true, and he's always talking about her,
but this time he's crossed.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
The line, and I could understand why.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yep, his claims are not only false, but they are defamatory.
Of course, Taylor dated Harry did not date justin Bieber.
I know jay Z and Beyonce are doing the same
privately behind the scenes. They are not acknowledging him publicly,
but he has spoken about their relationship, their you know,
things in their bedroom as well as their children in
disgusting ways.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
And he's crossing all kinds of lines.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Eric to turn and look face you. I know, I
don't have to look at my laptop, so I don't
want you to feel left out. So now I'm really
Now I'm just gonna stare at you. I don't want
you to feel left out, so I'm just She looks terrify.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
He has never been this like intent about listen these.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
N get back now and yeah, so I'm just gonna
stare at you. Does that make you fel comfortable?

Speaker 11 (29:55):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
I don't know. I'm just not used to it.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Like an L shaped table in a corner and we're
very close to one another. But like I mean to
looking at them or I'm looking at you, I can't
look at both of you. So now now you have
my undivided attention.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
I feel it, no pressure. So this one made me
really sad.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
I don't know if you saw this, fread but Eric
Dane has been diagnosed with ALS or Lou Garrick's disease
as you may know it. The fifty two year old
actor shared his diagnosis with people while explaining that his
health has not impacted his plans to return for Euphoria
season three, which I can't believe he's worried about that
right now. Eric plays Cal Jacobs, the father of Jacob
Alori's character Nate. Production on new episodes began in January,

(30:34):
I mean, after years and years of a break, but
he will begin shooting April fourteenth. ALS, if you don't know,
is a progressive degenerative disease, meaning it's not curable that
breaks down the nerves in the body, weakening muscles and
causing eventual paralysis, impacting patient's.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Ability to breathe, speak, and move. It is absolutely.

Speaker 3 (30:53):
Tragic and I just wish there was a cure along
with Euphoria. You may also know him as doctor Mark
Sloan aka mc steamy on Gray's Anatomy, So we are
thinking of him and I can't believe.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
That he's headed back to your FORI but just tragic
news this morning.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
And lastly, the Minecraft movie is making audiences go absolutely
insane to the point where cops are getting called to theaters.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Have you guys seen this?

Speaker 3 (31:16):
No, so fans in theaters are yelling, launching entire popcorn
buckets into the air, especially when someone yells chicken jockey,
and it's like a thing. And I tried to look
into what all the excitement is. I guess like people
who are obsessed with the video game just love seeing
the characters on screen. But you can't throw buckets of
popcorn in the air.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
It's just causing or perfectorn.

Speaker 5 (31:40):
It's forty dollars for popcorn. What I mean, I'm not
throwing it right.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
I have to take out a second mortgage.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
I'm home. I don't own to get you know, my
SNACKI is seven.

Speaker 3 (31:51):
This is This is worse than people singing in Enduring Wicked.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I know that was really upsetting to you when I
told you that story.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
At the end of the movie. I'm like, guys, they
can't hear you.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
In the plane lands.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Terrible news. At least the pilot can, you know, maybe
the pilot can know that they did a nice job. Okay,
more that you lived. You know, you're celebrating, you know,
survival these.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
Days, you know what you better clap because if you're
not upside down, it's a win.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
By the way, if you need to any.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Part of our show, The Fred Show, to type the
Fred Show on demand and set this as a preset
on the free iHeart Radio app.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, so we're in Valparaiso this morning, Northwest Indiana. Represent
if you're in any of the Northwest Indiana, any any
of this territory out here. I mean, I'm talking about Gary.

Yeah, yeah, they're a little anxious. I get it me too,
kids right too.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
You guys want a donut hole. I got a lot
of them over here. Well, no, I mean, I think
in any other context telling kids that I have a
donut hole would be a problem, But I think in
this particular context, I'm safe to do it. Can you
live around here?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
I do? Okay, yeah, we're near you point.

Speaker 1 (33:27):

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Yeah, yeah, you know, it's fine. Like we just gave
him a free advertisement. You can have the day off
as far as I'm concerned. If anyone's got a problem
with that, tell them to call Uncle Fred right and
I'll give them a donut hole.

Speaker 2 (33:51):

a second. I mean, it's just overwhelming that there are
way more people here than I would have expected this
early in the morning. Yeah, it doesn't mean you shouldn't come, though, Like,
if you're planning on coming, you still have to come
because we have three hours that we need to feel validated.
Like we have very fragile egos around here. Okay, so
we still need you to arrive if you're coming to
Maple Bacon in Valparaiso. I made myself a sign so

(34:46):
I didn't say the other thing. I don't want anyone
going anywhere, was that plainfield or whatever? I don't I
don't need anyone going in the other direction. I checked
twice to make sure I wasn't going the other direction,
because I drove here pretty much asleep, so I could
have wound up just about anywhere. PS could have taken
me absolutely anywhere. At some point I thought it was
taking me to someone's home.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
Yeah, I was in a neighborhood. I saw a billboard
that someone got for their boyfriend for their birthday. I
was like, wow, we.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Are wild out here as well. You know you're not
home anymore, right, we're far away from home.

until later in the morning, until three, okay, but you
open it eight, yes, eight o'clock. But we opened it
six to day in his pack. Oh geez, we.

dollar bacon.

Is that what it is? Yes? And what is a
billion dollar bacon?

Speaker 12 (37:18):
And candy bacon on apple with smoked special bacon. We
candy it up and put a little maple syrup on it.
It's a little touch of a little touch of love.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, Chris, can I ask you a personal question? Do
you sometimes at night just sit around and eat gummies
and come up with menu items? Yes? That one?

Speaker 9 (37:35):
Yes, Yes, I don't sleep.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Yeah, because I was gonna say that sounds like something
I would have come up with after a gummy.

Speaker 9 (37:40):
That's it. That's my best thinking, Like, you know what.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
We should do. Let's take some bacon, let's let's candy
it up some of these. Just chart that thing up
and then let's eat it. They call it billion dollar bacon.

Speaker 9 (37:52):
I love it.

Well, thank you for having us. We really appreciate thank
you for coming. And you know what's mine is yours.

Honestly, ooh, the pancakes are coming out too. Look at that. No,
we are truly a case study for add medication. Hey,

This is your brain on no add medication in a
very active, busy place. So yeah, I want you to
come see if you want to do a blog. Sure, okay,
let's do a blog because the people are all just
standing around waiting for entertainment and for some reason we're

audio journals like we're writing in our diaries live on
location of Thank You thirteen Tour in Valparaiso at Maple

Speaker 5 (40:47):
So you guys, I have a speech coming up. We're
I'm gonna be talking to about four hundred people, okay,
and right now, like I don't have words because of
how many people are here. Can only imagine what's gonna
happen when I get in front.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Of this school day you want to practice right now
because there are about four hundreds people here right now.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
Bro, I literally have no words and I have to
give a ten minute speech. What am I going to
talk about for ten minutes to inspire the youth. So
I need each one of you to add a line
to this, to this speech, So help me.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Who is the audience.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Hello, my name is Okay. We'll start with me. The
audience is.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
Seniors and juniors at District two two seven inch rich
Township and they're all like great overachievers that are going
to college.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
And I'm so supposed to inspire them about the future.
Oh wow, Wow, that's tough. I don't know, right, I
learned go ahead.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
I learned something the other day that someone said about speeches.
If you do like each sentence on a different part
of the room, that's how you like work the room
as you're doing a long speech, So like you do
a sentence over here, and then you keep picking people to.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Do a sentence for.

Speaker 5 (41:54):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
You know sometimes you like you're either focused on one
person or you're focused on too many people.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Right, that's all I got for Okay, this.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Would be easy for you.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
And I'm not saying this. I'm not just saying this.
You have a great story.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
You know, you came up, this was your aspiration, humble beginnings,
lost your parents, your your sister, raised you the whole
you could tell a whole story about how you got
a job at the radio station, doing something that has
nothing to do with being on the radio, just so
that you could be in the hallway, just so that
Bryan Lee could get you a job on the radio.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
I'll start with the story. Yeah, and it seems like
a long time.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
I don't think it's be long for you at all. Honestly,
your story is what people need to be hearing, which
is that you're not gonna get you know, a bunch
of money right away. You're not gonna get speak on it. Well,
unless you work here, you don't go right to the
morning show. If you work at one Kiss FM in Chicago,
you go right to the morning show like you don't
have to waste it right away. You made sure. Honestly,

(42:53):
when I started doing this twenty years ago, if you
told me the only job I ever needed was mornings
in Chicago, I would have told you unheard of. But
now that's how it goes. No, but I mean, you know,
getting the job, getting your foot in the door, never
saying no, telling everybody that you'll do anything. You know.
Just I'm being serious right now, and that's that is
a message that a lot of people need to hear
because I think everybody wants everything right now. They want

(43:14):
to make one hundred thousand dollars right now. They think
they should be the boss right now. And I, you know,
I think that your message is. It takes a long time,
but then look look at you. You're in your purple
furycap in the middle of a restaurant in Valparaiso. Dreams
do come true.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
The dreams are made right here.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Mass what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (43:31):
I made it in Illinois, now I'm in Indiana.

Speaker 1 (43:33):
You made it in Indiana too? Yeah? Use that?

Speaker 5 (43:35):
Yeah, trying to tell my story because I was just
gonna lean on chat GPT for me.

Speaker 3 (43:39):
No, no, no no, and do your usual crowd work
like you would do at the Millennium tour like single
Lady many.

Speaker 2 (43:46):
You know, I don't buy the name of.

Speaker 4 (43:48):
Side right side or my lady's eyes.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
Yeah yeah. Who's ready for jingle Ball? You just yeah,
I got the script ready to go? Yeah yeah, right,
it's right, that's all you gotta do. Who's ready for
Harry Styles you know or whoever's there? Oh you wish? Yeah,
you're right. Who's ready for Kevin de Gras?

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Honestly me.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
So hard. That was a fad example because I wouldn't
be mad. Who's ready for Riyo Lopez? He's ready for
Wheel of Fortunes. But one other things last day? Yes,
all right, well I just I just did my whole
routine from Jingle Bow. So that's it. Yeah, I'll use
that on stage with the kids and the moment. I

(44:34):
You know what's funny is every year when we go
out there to do the jingle Boll announcements, the first
one especially, I go out there and I blank on
who's there? Every year I've done this for how many
years we've been had Jingable ten years? And every year
I walk out there and I blank on the lineup,
even though I've been saying it for four months. I know,
BEFO I need to do is go out there and
go go who's ready for Taylor Swift? You know she's

(44:55):
not there? She's there, she never was there, she never came.
I've never even thought about it, but I'm always afraid
I'm gonna say like the wrong thing, And and you know,
I guess I've made a whole career out of that.
So You're gonna be fine.

Speaker 9 (45:12):
Yes, thank you, guys.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
You've got a great story. You tell it all right,
and you're a good storyteller, Yes you are.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
The thing is, guys, well we're in the studio and
it's just us.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
I'm talking to y'all.

Speaker 5 (45:22):
Really don't think anyone else is listening, So being even
right here it is crazy.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
I know.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
People don't understand that. You know. They'll say like, hey,
can you come speak at this or that or whatever
the other night at the Pods thing, and it's like,
you know, a thousand people have ever made that was
I don't. I do not dig that. And people are like, well,
it's you know, it's public speaking. You talk to you know,
tens of people every day. I'm like, yeah, but I
don't have to look at them in the face. It's
not the same. Like right now, everyone's staring at us
expecting us to be funny, and like when we're in

(45:48):
the studio, we're not funny. I don't know, you know, true.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
Yeah, just like the wedding yard was gonna officiate, I'm like,
I don't know how to do that. Like just because
I'm talking to a microphone, I don't.

Speaker 1 (45:57):
Know how to do that.

Speaker 11 (45:57):
I know.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
People think they think it's one and the same it's
not at all that you're gonna be good though. It's
the maple and Bacon restaurant, cafe establishment. I don't know
what it is. Uh oh god, all kinds of homemade merchandise. Serious.
Oh wait, I know it's.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
Right, I know, I like that one.

Speaker 1 (46:14):
We're here, we got free stuff, we've got doughnut holes
in coffee, and you're gonna have to wait in line
because all the tables are filled in this place. So
but that's all right, Come and wait in line and
hang out with us. I'm gonna be here till nine thirty.
It's the Thank You thirteen Tour. Shout out to make
it in Illinois as we sit in Indiana. He sorry, Indiana.

(46:35):
We secured the bag from Illinois. We didn't get no
money from you. We're bagging a minute with waiting by
the phone. It's just can't wait, e jeeves, I can't
do it.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
That'd be it'd be a freesome hamy at three Ay.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Fred show is on. All right, guys, we are live
the Thank You thirteen Tour. We're bumping. P. We gotta
turn it down. P we look yeah we yeah, yeah,

(47:12):
So that's supposed to be an Anne Jason or is
it bacon?

Speaker 2 (47:15):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (47:16):
Sure in Valparaiso. I think there's only one maple and
bacon in Valparaiso. Yes, but make sure you come to
Valparaiso and make sure you because there was a maple
and another thing that we went to in Plainfield. That's
not where we are. We are the other direction. We
are in northwest Indiana, northwest Indiana. They you guys have
shown out for us this morning. Yes, places packed mass hysteria.

(47:38):
It's gotta be for the donut holes and the gazillion
dollar bacon. Yes, it's delicious. The christ Is macon here
we have we have newborns. That that baby was just born. Yes,
that baby fresh from the hospital. Don't look like me.
That baby. She had a baby and then came over
here same day, sameyday. I am my mail. I am

(48:00):
amazed by this. But look, thank you everyone who's come
out so far this morning to see us. And on
the tour stop number two, there are two more stops left.
Are they closer than this one?

Speaker 2 (48:09):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (48:10):
No?

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Okay, no, well, you know, we'll go as far as
we need to go. I actually didn't know that the
radio went as far. Yeah it does. No, it's exciting. No,
you had no idea. I also had no idea how
many people listened to us. And I'm not even being humble.
I really just didn't know. There's many people listened to us.
Not all the way out here, no way, all the

(48:33):
way way. There was an alleyway involved right went through
someone's house. They have been some wild animals. I'm pretty
sure I wound up in somebody's backyard.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
I'm not certain of it.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
I'm sorry to woke you up. I didn't know that
you weren't the Maple and Bacon Cafe. I had no idea. So,
and for those of you who are driving and nowhere
near here and can't make it, it's all good. Hopefully
we're coming somewhere near you on the tour in the
next couple of weeks. But waiting by the phone is new.
And next, why does somebody get ghosted? We'll get to
the entertainer apoard show be his Kiki. I believe it's

(49:04):
four hundred bucks. That's the price today. That's what we're
going with. I think yes, or maybe it was three
point fifty and it's I don't know.

Speaker 2 (49:11):
I think it was. I think it was a thousand.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Oh you don't say that, because then if you lose,
I gotta pay somebody thousand bucks. That where Jason does
win is a win. But we don't have what's coming
up in the port k I will.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Tell you which celebrity couple got secretly married and then
filed two days later?

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Crazy?

Speaker 1 (49:28):
Oh wow, Yeah, So I just.

Speaker 2 (49:31):
We'll talk about it at that time. But I don't
understand how you get married and then it only takes
two days to know that it was a mistake.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Yeah, what happens in forty eight hours all of a sudden,
I don't know that.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
You don't know ahead time right right with these people
together before they did it a long time.

Speaker 2 (49:46):
That's a great question, Jason, do you know the answer?
We were not.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, it was I wanted to two years. It's a
long time to be together to then have the whole
thing fall apart on and off rank.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
So yeah, yeah, I'll have the answer when I talk
about it.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
But at the same time, you do hear about this.
It's a tale so old as time, as Polina would say,
you know people who are together forever, like a very
long time, and they even live together. I'm looking at you, Kiki, yeah, man,
and everything is functioning and everything is fine and everybody's happy.
And then they get married and they don't even have
to move in together. It's not even like the living
together part is the thing that throws everybody off because
they were already together. And then you hear a year later,

(50:23):
six months later, whatever it is, they're done.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
You might got May of twenty sixteen they started eating, so.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
They've been together for nine years.

Speaker 5 (50:30):
I always wanted two husbands too, so like whenever I
do get married, we gotta hurry up, you know what
I'm saying, Like, we gotta get married and then divorced
so I get my second husband.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Oh oh yeah, that's a lot of work to just
I just feel like I've skipped my first marriage entirely.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
You gotta do it because the first one is for love,
the second marriage is for money, the stability.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
Hell m m yeah, okay, huh yeah, all right, Well
that Dutch just complicates your theory right completely. But I'll
just I'll never understand that. I'll never understand the people
that they've nothing really changed. Because again, like maybe if
you hurry up and get married and then you add
to it family and moving in together and you know,
immeshing your lives and stuff, if you do all that quickly,

(51:09):
then I can see why maybe you didn't do enough
homework or you're learning things you didn't know before, like
if you were on the Bachelor, for example, I can
see why those don't work out because well, you went
from the Swiss Alps to you know, your your house
in Poughkeepsie, and you know, he goes back to selling
car insurance and you realize that, you know, you're not
going to be living in the matter one anymore, you know,

(51:30):
with helicopters and dan and chasinging at your wedding or whatever.
But what I do understand that the people who were
together for a long time, they lived together for a
long time, they go off and get married, they come
back to the same house, same bed, same everything, and
then it falls apart because.

Speaker 2 (51:44):
There's no thrill.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
Sometimes it's like the last ditch effort, Like we've been
together for twenty five years, so let's go get married
because I don't like you already, but maybe if we
get married, I like you again.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
And it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
Yeah, that's not gonna work.

Speaker 11 (51:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Let me just go ahead and tell you. If you
don't like someone, I recommend not marrying it. Just that's
from the bottom of my heart. I just said the
best advice I can give you. Waiting by the pall?
Why does somebody get ghosted after Benson doing We're laughing?
Ever been left waiting by the phone? It's the Fred Show. Sidney,
Welcome to the show. How are you?

Speaker 8 (52:16):
Hi'm well, how are you doing?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Okay? What's going on with this guy? Paul? Tell us everything?
How did you guys meet? Tell us about any dates
you've been on, and then why do you think you're
being ghosted?

Speaker 8 (52:25):
Awesome? So Paul and I met at a bar a
few weekends ago. We flirted all night, I gave him
my number, and he asked me out for sushi. So
this is probably about our second third date. It was fun,
he seemed intriguing. We had a great banter, and after
our date, the sushi date, he ended up being cold
to me. I'm frustrated because I don't know why he

(52:47):
was so cold to me, and after that date he
kind of just disappeared. So I'm here to figure out
why why he ghost to me? After our date? I
thought it went well. I'm really interested in him, and
I want to know if we.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Can go on the second d Okay, all right? Because
you met you met in a wild and we talk
about this all the time. That matters, right, If you
meet somebody in person, that matters versus the dating apps
or the websites or whatever, because you can gauge chemistry.
You know what they look like, you know, you know
if you're instantly attracted to them. You already know a
little bit about the conversation and stuff, so that's usually
a good sign. And then you go on a date

(53:20):
and you can just spend more time together. And you felt,
genuinely you felt like that went well. You like you're
really puzzled.

Speaker 8 (53:26):
Yes, yes, exactly. I'm really frustrated. I'm really confused as
to why he would just disappear, and I'm even more
confused as to why he looks so cold to me.
We had great banter.

Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah, And it's frustrating too, because when you finally meet
someone that you want to hang out with and then
for some reason they disappear and you don't know why.
That's frustrating on a lot of levels. So let's call
this guy Paul. In just a second, Sydney, you'll be
on the phone at the same time. And I don't
want you to say anything right at first, but at
some point you're welcome to jump in on the call.
And the hope, as always is that we can figure
out what's going on. Hopefully it's he can explain it,

(53:58):
and maybe he's been busy or who knows, and we'll
set you guys up on another date that we pay for.
Sound good, sounds great, Thank you. Let's see what happens next.
Part two of Waiting by the Phone after this song
on The Fred Show morning, It's the Fred Show. Part
two of Waiting by the Phone. Hey, Sydney, hy all right,
welcome back. Let's call this guy Paul. You met actually
out and exchange phone numbers, and then you went on

(54:20):
a date. You went out for sushi. You thought the
date was fun. You know, he was interesting, the banter
was good. But he's been very cold or non existent
since the date. And you want to know what happened
because you know, usually when he meet someone out in
public and hit it off and then go on a
date and a date that you thought went well, at that,
it's like, well, why wouldn't we keep talking, Why wouldn't

(54:41):
we go out again? Right right? Let's call this guy
and figure this out right now? Good luck, Sydney, Thank you? NOIP?
Is this Paul? Yes, hey, Paul, good morning. My name
is Fredam called for the Fred Show, the morning radio show,

(55:01):
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now, and I would need your permission
to continue with the call. Can we chat for just
a second? Would you mind? Wait?

Speaker 9 (55:10):
What hold on?

Speaker 1 (55:11):
What is that? Can we just can we chat for
a second on the radio. I just need you to
say yes on the radio. I don't know, I guess okay, yes, yes,
thank you. So we're calling on behalf of a woman
named Sidney, who I guess you met out recently and
then you went on a sushi date with Do you
remember this woman? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Yeah, how do you know?

Speaker 1 (55:30):
How do you know? Okay? Well, because she reached out
to us and told us about you and meeting you
and your date and she felt like everything went really well.
But she says that she hasn't that you've been cold
since the date or non existent, and she feels like
you're ghosting her after what she thought was a great date.

Speaker 11 (55:47):
So is that true? Are you ghosting? I mean, what happened?
Ah man, that's a lot. Yeah, yes, I know. I mean,
I'm not trying to ghost. I just it was just
a it was a weird date. I'm going to be
honest with you.

Speaker 14 (56:02):
It's a weird date.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
And I mean that you're You're right, You're accurate. What
you said is true.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
It went out for sushi, but it was just weird conversation.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
I guess, Okay, well what does that mean? Oh well
there's okay. Well I was getting there Sydney, but Sydney
is here. I'm sorry, Paul, I forgot to mention. I
totally forgot that. She was also on the phone. What
was weird though? Because she didn't think it was weird?
She thought it was great. So what was weird for you? No,
it was totally weird. I was telling her.

Speaker 14 (56:30):
So, I'm helping out one of my friends through like
this really ugly, ugly breakup his ex. He caught his
ex cheating and he like walked in on it, and
so it's been really hard for my buddy, and so
I've been there for I'm telling her this story and
she goes well, like, yeah, I mean it's okay for
for somebody to cheat in a relationship. And I was waiting,

(56:52):
wait what, and she just looks me dead in the
eye and says, well, yeah, I mean men are.

Speaker 9 (56:56):
Allowed to cheat. My man's allowed to cheat.

Speaker 14 (56:59):
As long as long as he's respectful, respectfully cheat.

Speaker 1 (57:06):
I'm like, how do I respectfully cheat? I mean, I
guess there's there's respectful boundaries or respectful understanding of what
is allowed in a relationship and what is not. But
inherently cheating is lying, yep, yep, yep.

Speaker 14 (57:18):
And so I told her. She told me this, and
I just looked at her and I said, you're you're
describing like an open relationship or polyamory or something like that,
and I'm.

Speaker 1 (57:28):
Not into it.

Speaker 14 (57:29):
I think it's kind of disrespectful for you to dismiss
what happened to my friend.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
And she was just adamant.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
She goes, no, no, no, like she is fine, it's
just got.

Speaker 8 (57:38):
To be respect She just kept.

Speaker 14 (57:39):
Saying respectful, respect, respectful, respect.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
Okay, I got it.

Speaker 14 (57:42):
I gotta get out of here.

Speaker 1 (57:43):
Well, let me ask Sidney, why, how what is respectful cheating?

Speaker 8 (57:47):
Well, I think, oh, men cheat. I just don't want
to know about it. But respectual cheating to me is
is mine? You know what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
I think that's Let me just be clear, Sydney. If
I'm dating you, I'm respecting you by sleeping with other
women and not telling you about it. Yes, yes, who
hurt you?

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (58:10):
Like who hurt you? Yeah?

Speaker 9 (58:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (58:13):
I don't see a problem with it. I think as
long as you are doing what you want to do
in the relationship, that you don't tell me anything about it,
that's perfectly fine. I don't want to know about it.
I don't want to know about it. But if you
want to go out and have all the fun, whether
any type of woman you want to go out and do.

Speaker 2 (58:31):
That, don't tell me?

Speaker 1 (58:33):
Is this because lord? Is this because you want to cheat? Sydney?
Like it is it that you want to be in
an open relationship? Because just let's just call it what
it is? Or do? I mean? Why? Why? Is If
it's okay for your partner, then is it okay for you?
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 8 (58:49):
Yes, yes, I am so.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Then why don't we just call this what it is?
It's an open relationship? Why don't we just say from
the beginning, like you want to see other people, you
want your partner to be able to see other people.
Why are we calling it cheating them? If this is
what your expectation is of a relationship, that both sides
can be free, then that's I don't know, that's not
cheating respectfully, that's an open relationship. And I realize I'm
labeling things here, but I mean, just for the clarity,

(59:14):
it doesn't really make sense what you're saying.

Speaker 8 (59:16):
I think it's more fun to be ambiguous. I think
it's more fun to call it cheating respectfully and do
not have any labels whatsoever, and then to go out
and do what you'd like and then not tell me
about it. I mean, it's the same way for me, though,
I could go out and do anything I want.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Sidney, I'm still on the phone too.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Thanks.

Speaker 14 (59:38):
You're having the same conversation with him that you were
having with me. You are not listening, Like, first of all,
if I'm on the radio, can I just say I
want to make it clear, like hello, Hello, I am
not a cheater.

Speaker 9 (59:49):
I don't cheat.

Speaker 14 (59:50):
And I like to go into a relationship with saying
I'm going to respect you by not sleeping with a
million other women while I'm seeing you, And again, like Sidney,
you're you're just confused or maybe you're hurt. I don't,
I don't know, but you're you looking for an open relationship,
and I hope you find it. I truly do. But

(01:00:11):
you're not going to find it with me. You'll probably
find it with I don't know, two or three other guys.

Speaker 1 (01:00:16):
If I'm being completely honest, I don't think that's a
really it's a relationship, like it's not he's looking for
a committed relationship. You're looking for an open relationship. It's
that simple. This sole cheating thing, is that like a
fantasy of yours? Like are you into the idea of
someone sneaking around on you? Or does that keep you
on your toes like that you wonder if someone's sneaking
around on you.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
I live with the.

Speaker 8 (01:00:37):
Thrill of it. Yeah, I definitely live for the thrill
of it. I love the idea of it more than
I would say I would. I don't know's how to think,
but I could say that if I'm going into a
relationship or as you were all saying, an open relationship, still,
I wouldn't want anybody to tell me what's going on.

(01:00:58):
I still stand by the fact that all meant and cheat.
I just don't want to know about it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Okay, well he doesn't, and he's saying he wants a
more traditional relationship. Kick you said these people straight.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
I mean, I'm here for her if she wants, if
she wants to live her life this way girl living.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
But what you're gonna get is a trip to the clinic. Okay.
If you don't want people to be honest with you
about what they're doing.

Speaker 4 (01:01:17):
Yeah, that's a that's a that's a whole different topic
is committee.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Yeah, I feel like you're asking for problems here without
the transparency. And you got to know, Cidy, Look, you
can live however you want to live and whatever, you know,
whatever gets your rocks off, good for you. But you
got to understand a lot of people are not going
to be into that. Like a lot of people's definition
of a relationship. And I'm not saying it's right or wrong,
but I think most people's definition of a committee relationship
is one on one, not one on one plus cheating.

Speaker 8 (01:01:43):
Right, Yeah, that's fair. I get that. I honestly, I
think I'm perfectly right. And what I'm saying okay, and
I'm going to stand by it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
I think you're probably right.

Speaker 2 (01:01:59):
But a lot of people that ever love to cheat
on you girl.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
All right, Well, it's not for Paul, and it's not
going to be for everybody. And I guess Sydney's okay
with that, and Sydney, there you have it. So he's
got into that, into those parameters. He wants something more traditional.
You want something different, and I hope that you find it.
I wish you the best of luck, Paul. I wish
you luck as well. Thanks, thank you, appreciate it.

Speaker 8 (01:02:21):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Caitlin's Entertainer report. He is on the Pread Show.

Speaker 2 (01:02:26):
All right, So two.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
Little sweet girls asked me to shout out their mom,
Melissa Hill, and I didn't question it. So, Melissa Hill,
I don't know if you're here, but your daughters wanted
me to shout you out.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
And that's all I got to shout up to Melissa Hill.
Miss Hill, you know, if you want to be proper
about it.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
Nicki Minaj was the target of a swatting incident involving
in a lead shooter at her home Wednesday night. La
County Sheriff's deputies responded to an assault with a deadly
weapon call at her Hidden Hills home around seven pm.
The caller claimed that someone had shot Nicky and some
female and two suspects a dressed in all we're still
on the property when cops got there. There was zero

(01:03:03):
evidence of a crime when they got there and later
confirmed it was a swatting call, which we're still doing.
This isn't the first time Nikki has been the target
of swatting incidents. In the summer of twenty twenty three,
there was a false nine when one report of child
abuse followed by a fake shooting claim one month later.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
There's a special kind of place in hell.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
If you are doing swatting calls, you are wasting first
responders time and you are you're bothering people, So don't
do that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
That's why there was the thump you just heard. Was
the billion dollar bacon do to scare your guys. Yeah,
there's like a royal the whole procession that came out
with it, and there's Mariachi band and everything gets crazy.
Bttle service. Yeah, very nice. There's a sparkler attached to
each one of them. So I just wanted people to
know what that was.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Yes, there was a lot though I stopped taking aderall
about ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
But I'm going straight to the doctor from here. I
don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
I already googled to see if there's a physician walkable
from here, na if they like if in fact, if
you're a doctor and you could stop by with some
that would be helpful for the rest of the show.

Speaker 2 (01:03:59):
My goodness. Okay, so this is the story I teased.

Speaker 3 (01:04:01):
Singer Tony Braxon and rapper Birdman privately got married eight
months ago, on August eight, twenty twenty four. Two weeks later,
Tony filed for divorce. Listened to the date of separation
as August tenth. So y'all were married two dates. I
missed Tony Braxton and Birdman being together.

Speaker 2 (01:04:16):
Well it was a secret marriage.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
Oh well, well they've been together, yeah, for like seven years.

Speaker 1 (01:04:20):
I didn't I know how I missed it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:22):
Yeah, that was shocking. That's not exactly the pairing that
I would have expected.

Speaker 2 (01:04:25):
Yeah, it was not expected at all.

Speaker 3 (01:04:27):
No, And also, like I don't think it's a correct
pairing because they're having some issue. I mean, like literally,
you're married for two days and then you say that's
the date of separation.

Speaker 2 (01:04:37):
The singer and her.

Speaker 3 (01:04:37):
Lawyer called the marriage irretrievably broken, but then in January,
they both dismissed the divorce, seemingly confirming that their.

Speaker 2 (01:04:44):
Marriage is still intact. Now listen to this.

Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
They first started dating twenty sixteen before getting engaged.

Speaker 2 (01:04:48):
Two years later, that's twenty eighteen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
Then they called off their engagement, then they secretly got married.
Then two days later they broke up, and now they
are back together. I just know their friends are so
sick of them right now. Her friends are like Tony Grol, you.

Speaker 2 (01:05:01):
Got to get out of that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
But I don't know. Hey, love is love. I guess
ed Sheeran is British. If you guys didn't know he is, yeah,
if you couldn't come here somewhere, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
You know, I thought that too.

Speaker 3 (01:05:17):
No, he's not not, No, but he is sharing his
favorite American fast food change, which I love to hear.

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
So it's five guys first of all, which they don't
have fast food prices, so I don't know. They might
be fine dining to me.

Speaker 1 (01:05:33):
I guess I mean as well, go to Ruth Chris.
It is right right. Seventy five dollars later, it's good
but it's not cheap.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
No, and Edie saying he thinks that's the best around
the world, which is a hot take.

Speaker 2 (01:05:42):
He also enjoys water Burgers good Man.

Speaker 3 (01:05:45):
Good Man for its burgers, and he's a fan of
the KFC Fried Chicken.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Now he's he's tried in and out.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
He's not a big fan of their prize and says
they don't have enough location to qualify as his top
fast food chain. I also remember him saying that he's
one of his first tours in the US, he just
chicken wings because he thought that was healthy, and then
he gained a ton of weight.

Speaker 2 (01:06:03):
So I don't know what's going on with ed, but
he's a fan of the fast food and how could
you not be well?

Speaker 1 (01:06:07):
And I know, Kiki, that's your man. He loves some
some redheaded ed shearing love me that you're in with him.
I think is that you know the original spices and
what is it thirteen spices, original spicy, You know the
herbs and spices, you know what they are, so you
could make that for him and then make some other
things for him, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (01:06:27):
I mean that's where ed and I actually met at
a KFC.

Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
Yeah, I was working.

Speaker 5 (01:06:31):
At the one in Matson, Illinois, and a little red
headed Ed came through with his guitar.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
That's crazy. He always carries his guitar, don't there. He's
always got that. Yeah, and his little loop machine. It
was crazy machine.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
We need to try something new.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
Ad.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):

Why TV artist for you, So check your local listings.

By the way, if you miss any part of our show,
just type the frend show on demand and set us

Speaker 1 (01:07:27):
Somebody called my agent Paul and get let's get on this.
We need to be on the Wheel of Fortune next year.
I don't know how we were left out. We were
an obvious choice coming and I don't know. It's just
wild to me. I mean, anyway, we're going to work
on that. Get that in my deal. Hire. So we're here,
we're live. If you can't tell. And it's funny. I

(01:07:49):
had this is a true story, and I'm hoping it
was some kind of larger technical issue. But nothing would
surprise me anymore. I had a friend of mine that
lives in another state and was listening on the iHeart
app text me and go, hey, man, I think that
the mics are on. It just sounds like y'all are
sitting there bs and in a really loud place, and
I think maybe you got a technical problem. I go, No,
that's the show today. No, I think what you heard

(01:08:10):
was the show. This. This is what it sounds like.
We're in the middle of a restaurant. It is packed
full of people in Valpariso, Indiana. Maple and bacon is
what it's called. On the table is the billion dollar bacon,
which they're known for, among other things, donut holes apparently
they're known for it. But you can come by. We've
got free stuff. We've got donut holes in coffee that

(01:08:31):
you can have, and then you can watch whatever this
is that we're doing. But I just the place is
absolutely packed hours before that even normally open. And I
want to thank everybody. You know, truly, it's humbling that
you would take any time out of your day, Matthew,
it's humbling. It's no honestly though, that you would take
time out of your morning routine to come here and

(01:08:52):
eat breakfast, because we were talking about this, like who
has time to sit down breakfast on a Friday morning?
But I have a lot of people do apparently, Yes,
we're being videotaped. Are you a process server, sir? He doesn't.
He didn't have an envelope any paperwork, does he? And
making sure there's no paternity test coming or something. I
don't worried for myself, you know, I know, well Jason

(01:09:13):
years ago it was possible.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
Oh boy was it was.

Speaker 1 (01:09:17):
It was an confusing time. But not only that, but
that's maybe a tangent episode. But like Jason shares his
early early exploration. So that was the word I came
up with, was exploration.

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
It's definitely a tangent episode, not a live Valparaizo show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
Are you mean with children staring at us? You don't
think this? Ye? Jason was Jason early in his exploration
was well, he was just wild. I was out here,
he streets, he was absolutely out here. He should have
a wife and kids, honestly at this rate. But no,
you know, show his kiky up next. Money. I don't

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
In wet? It's hot juicy, damned that gypsy.

Speaker 1 (01:18:40):
Oh, it's fat, juicy and wet. I was wondering what
happened to that song. It's right here on the bacon.
Found it. I've been looking for that song now for
a few weeks, and it's right here in maple and bacon.

Speaker 2 (01:18:53):
I need a moment to be alone.

Speaker 1 (01:18:55):
We're gonna say how to April. April couldn't make it today.
She works at walm around here somewhere. Yes, that her
husband is here. One of the shout outs. Also her
husband came, I don't know where he is. Okay, So
all right, So April from Walmart couldn't make it, but
you could make it. It's a hard working woman taking
care of the household, isn't she? Oh he he just

(01:19:18):
go wow, there's hard working Beeble right there like a man.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
It works.

Speaker 1 (01:19:21):
We do it on the ground. What would you describe
for the people who've never seen April who works at
Walmart in which city, which city in Meryville. How would
you describe her?

Speaker 2 (01:19:31):
I mean, well, it's crazy. I mean I was going
to do a report on this, but I guess I
could do it now. It's they had to shut.

Speaker 3 (01:19:36):
Down the Walmart because so many people were going to
see her.

Speaker 1 (01:19:40):
No, and that's the problem is that we actually, like,
I need people to stop going there and come here.

Speaker 8 (01:19:45):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
The lines were getting insane, you know, because they weren't
waiting to check out, they were waiting.

Speaker 2 (01:19:49):
To see April, right right right. What you guys, heart,
if you haven't been there, is true.

Speaker 3 (01:19:54):
The aura is her aura is something that you can
actually feel when you're around her.

Speaker 2 (01:19:59):
Yeah, you know what I mean. It's a distraction.

Speaker 1 (01:20:01):
It's distract I'm surprised Walmart hasn't had to cut her
loose because it's like, if people aren't buying things, they're
just coming to stare in April who works at Walmart
in Maryville.

Speaker 2 (01:20:09):
April is bigger than Walmart.

Speaker 1 (01:20:10):
Yeah, well it's true. There's I know, I know what
she looks like, sir an angel beautiful, she's an angel reincarnate. Yeah,
it works the Walmart.

Speaker 2 (01:20:19):
I read about April the Bible. But you don't know
her it was.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
It was actually in the New Testament.

Speaker 2 (01:20:24):
Yeah, I read that a lot. I can't sleep very well.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
So that is a Bible. You know, it's incredible and
I recommend you go see it for yourself. What do
they say that how many wonders of the world are there?
Because they just added when I heard it, and it's
April at the Walmart and Merville they actually.

Speaker 2 (01:20:43):
Knocked one of the wonders down. It's a statue of gone. Right,
who needs those? I mean they wonder how they build them?
How did they build April?

Speaker 1 (01:20:52):
What theyre doing better? Question the engineering on that lady. Unbelievable, right,
I mean some say yeah yeah. And on a more
serious note, I want to shout out everybody from Memorial Elementary.
They stopped by and they gave us these bracelets and
they say Watkins Warriors. I guess there's a teacher there
who's getting a double lung transplant, so they gave us

(01:21:15):
the bracelets and we want to obviously withsh her the
best with everything that's really serious, the Warriors.

Speaker 5 (01:21:20):
She's actually teaching on oxygen right now, really and still
showing up for the kids.

Speaker 1 (01:21:25):
You're still doing her doing her gig Yep, we don't
deserve teacher. I know that's that's amazing talking about dedication.
You're waiting a double lung transplant and you're still going
to work to contribute. That's unbelievable anyway, So all the
best and the Watkins Warriors, and thank you for the bracelets.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
She's my little sister. Like we gotta keep tabs on them.

It was funny. As soon as I saw her walking,
I was like, that guy, he better not have messed
anything up.

Speaker 2 (01:29:20):
Nope, he's still here, still hanging in there.

Speaker 1 (01:29:22):
But see that's how that works. You lad for six
or seven years, and then you get you get a ring.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
Listen a step, a step, one step at a.

Speaker 1 (01:29:28):
Time, which let me ask you a question. And this
is like they're so young that yes, the promise ring
I think is beautiful and it's very nice and it's
probably a smarter move than you know, advancing things too soon.
Not that you can't get married when you're nineteen twenty one,
but like I don't know, there's no rush, No, they're
gonna get many. I'm be gonna for They've been together
for a long time. They love each other. But if

(01:29:48):
Big Tim came came through with a promise ring, big.

Speaker 5 (01:29:52):
Tim better not Tim and ran out of promise time.

Speaker 2 (01:29:57):
No promises.

Speaker 1 (01:29:57):
Okay, the promise is this is my.

Speaker 2 (01:30:02):
Hand exactly, yes, because.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
That's not going to work in that situation.

Speaker 5 (01:30:06):
No, no, no a promise though we've we've made promises. Yeah, yeah,
he can promise his way to this point.

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
But I like this. I like the idea of like
they're still in college, you know what I mean, Like,
we don't need to I don't We don't need to
jump the gun here, we.

Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
Don't need all that now, Kiki is she single? With
the promise ring?

Speaker 2 (01:30:23):
The man looking at me, Kate, Yes, girl, we have
we have sedric.

Speaker 1 (01:30:29):
You can say whatever you want. Okay, you're right, you've
never been safer.

Speaker 2 (01:30:32):
Technically she's still singles.

Speaker 5 (01:30:34):
Yeah, you know, but but she loves him, and so look.

Speaker 1 (01:30:39):
At her face. Look on her face. This dude's like
I bought this ring and I came here voluntarily, and
this lady is sitting here screwing up my whole life. No,
they came here on their own. They chose to attend
this the roast of their relationship. They did.

Speaker 5 (01:30:54):
But if she calls big sister Kiki and she's and
he's acting up, I'm like, girl getting the streets.

Speaker 1 (01:30:58):
So you girls in the streets, Okay, well there you haven't.
Actually I don't know who's more lethal, you or or Cedric.
It might be you with Cedric, I think, so comes down, boy, absolutely,
all right, let's do it for everyone who's like, will

(01:31:20):
you guys shut up and do the Friday Throwback Dance Party.
If I'm not in Valparaiso and I can't come, that's right,
So we'll still do this. De jan Erotic is here.
It's the Fred Show. It's the Friday Throwback Dance Party.
The Friday Throwback Dance Party Live for Valparaiso. Maple and
Bacon shout out to Adrian. I just tried to hold

(01:31:41):
your daughter, uh and and your daughter wants to like,
I don't hold my hand, but then doesn't want Kalin
or me to hold her. No, And Caleb's a baby whisper,
So that was shocking to me.

Speaker 2 (01:31:53):
It was shocking to me too. But she screamed a
little louder when you grabbed her. So I'm gonna hold
on to that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:00):
But as soon as that as I didn't grab her,
then she wanted to play, you know, a little handholding game. Again.
This is the story of my life. This is what
it is. You know, women from a very early age
learn to not get too close. Get close and flirt,
but don't get too close to the fred guy. I
think that's pretty much with them. What that resembled are

(01:32:21):
your dad? No, I've never seen her mother in my life. Okay,
and I did just I just checked in my bumble
to make sure. But no, I've never messed with that woman.
Understand with her husband is on the Fresh Show? Can
I start things with? The husband is on here? I
don't know that woman.

Speaker 2 (01:32:41):
You and I?

Speaker 1 (01:32:42):
Okay, okay, Well, babies like me? What can I say?
But I'm good with babies.

Speaker 2 (01:32:47):
You are.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
It's shocking to people that I'm good with babies. So
were you, Jason? And you don't think you are, but
you are. I don't think I am. I don't think
kids like me. They do, though, okay they do. Take
it away king the middle of a rest.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
Right here we go. We got time for a little quickie.

Speaker 3 (01:33:02):
So, if you are a fan of The White Lotus
like I am, a little fun fact for you is
that every single actor on the show makes the exact
same and has for all three seasons. This is something
they started way back in the first season when they didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:33:14):
Have a budget, but they stuck with it because they oh,
we're cheering, they want I'm so adhd.

Speaker 3 (01:33:20):
They wanted everyone to be joining the show for the
right reasons. Not to quote The Bachelor, and you know
this means veteran actors and the actor who played the
little brother Saxon's little brother, eighteen year old, he makes
the exact same aka.

Speaker 2 (01:33:34):
Forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:33:35):
Now we were at for season three, every single episode
we are cheering again.

Speaker 2 (01:33:41):
My add is really getting worked out.

Speaker 1 (01:33:44):
It's a real party here at the Maple and Bacant
Restaurant of Al Barrezo, Indiana, Indiana. Folks are wild.

Speaker 3 (01:33:51):
It is a real party. Fred Pat McAfee, I feel like,
am I just like someone who's not that into sports
or he is that girl like he's everywhere?

Speaker 2 (01:34:00):
Yeah, okay, he is here, all right?

Speaker 3 (01:34:02):
Well he joined uh Jelly Roll joined Pat McAfee on
stage for his big night at it was a concert
where he announced that he's lost nearly two hundred pounds.
He said, I started at five hundred and forty pounds.
I was down to three hundred and fifty seven pounds
this morning. He added, I'm gonna lose another hundred pounds
and I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:34:17):
Gonna go skydiving with my wife in Sweden.

Speaker 3 (01:34:20):
So his first goal was to be on the cover
of Men's Health.

Speaker 2 (01:34:23):
Now we want to go sky diving.

Speaker 1 (01:34:24):
Good for him, Yeah, he's him. I wonder though, is
Jelly Well going to be one of those guys that
when he's like skinny, mini ripped, is it? Is it
gonna be weird?

Speaker 2 (01:34:33):
I mean, you know, we just want him to be healthy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:35):
So I don't know, you do, Yeah, I'm when the
guy's a swimsuit model, I don't know, it's gonna be
a little strange for me.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
You know, Yeah, it'll be interesting. But he's the nicest guy.
He is the nicest guysh all right, I gotta be
rare casino.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
Yeah, where are the slow machines? I had no idea.

Speaker 3 (01:34:49):
The Notre dame grandma is I'm looking for a grandma
and he is the most grandma to ever Grandma.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
I love her. There's babies, there's grandma's, there's games. So
I'm gonna wrap this.

Speaker 3 (01:34:59):
If you miss any part of our show, just type
the Fred Show on demand and set us as a
preset on the free iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 1 (01:35:06):
I don't even think we're the show. I think the
people who have shown up are the show. Oh yeah,
but yeah, this place is packed. It has been since
five point fifty this morning. We want to thank everybody
who's come out so far. Where's and I'm looking forward
now I realize we're not even done with this one.
We have forty minutes to go. But where is the
next stop?

Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
You're going to Jelly Cafe and Pelton hold time?

Speaker 2 (01:35:30):
How about that detail? Yeah he's oldhood right.

Speaker 1 (01:35:33):
Yeah. I did check on the on the chopper for everybody,
and I have its funny the company hasn't gotten back
to me on that expense shock, the same way they
haven't gotten back to me on anything I've asked them
for in the last six months.

Speaker 4 (01:35:45):
So but yes, yeah, they're giving off free to everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:35:52):
See.

Speaker 4 (01:35:52):
Yeah, the company is no Jelly Cafe.

Speaker 1 (01:35:57):
It was a higher budget company.

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
He's given away Vignet So who really we have trade
on vigne.

Speaker 1 (01:36:03):
Yeah, I probably do, Oh my gosh, but you guys
are amazing for coming through, and I hope that the
next couple of steps are just as big. But it's humbling,
it really is. And so thanks for being a part
of the thirteen. They're way more than thirteen people here,
which is why it's got to be the billion dollar Bacon.
It can't possibly be us, No. I think there was
some confusion and they thought somebody else was going to

(01:36:24):
be here this morning or something.

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
Maybe they lied to them.

Speaker 1 (01:36:27):
I think they may have. But the donor holes are
really good, so it could be that it could be
the donut holes. M So I got to come up
with a fun fact. I've got about eight minutes to
do it because I'm just I mean, honestly, we were
joking about it all morning, but we're all self diagnosed.

Speaker 2 (01:36:43):

The fun fact, do you guys know what tripophobia is?
Why you scared? I have it? I think I do. Actually,

(01:39:57):
it's the fear of closely packed hole diversion into the
slights or the site, rather of the irregular patterns or
clusters of small holes or bumps.

Speaker 2 (01:40:09):
Oh yeah, I don't like a group of holes like.

Speaker 1 (01:40:11):

water slide, like a tube.

tight together.

slide for some reason, I don't know.

I had it all ready to go, but I guess not. Okay,
I had a promise ring too, but I guess you
know well, I mean, my mom already loves you, so
you know there's she'd be real happy about it. But anyway,
I hope you don't have triple phobia, the fear of
closely packed holes. Don't do whatever you're thinking, don't say okay.
