We'll go up in the city, play a game for
your you go to work and you're doing recess with

But there is so much it goes into that people think.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
About this right where it works.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Yeah, we are Fred's show is no.
Speaker 5 (00:14):
I mean I think that pretty much describes it. That's
what we're doing. We just show up, yeah, leave, and
then somebody feeds us grapes. I mean, that's that's how
it goes, right, That's how we do. Morning everyone, Thursday,
April twenty fourth, It's the Fread Show. Hi Kaitlin, good morning,
Hi Jason Bratti, Good morning Bella. I mean, is here
(00:35):
on the phone of the text she bodied you before
you could even get in the building today.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I hadn't even said good morning yet, but I looked
down at my coffee and it says you're iconic sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Wow, that's how we start today. Yeah, So hey, haylehen
you're iconic all the time. I'm concerned.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Thank you. She's keeping me humble, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I mean, what is it with these with these gents,
What is it with the man?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Man.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
The level of the level of honesty, the level of
it's it's it's a comfort on one side, and then
it's like a it's like a fear and paranoia on.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The other side.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Right, yeah, I don't know how you can be both,
but somehow they can.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
It's like, right now she's freaking out because she wrote that,
and then we're talking about it in a way that
may or may not be positive and so right now,
so but you were bold enough to write it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, so own it, yes, and then I'll get a
text like it's not that deep.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Chill.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Oh see chill, she chill. Yeah, you know, speaking of
which I don't know if you guys knew this.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Maybe you did.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
We haven't discussed it though, but our last boss, Benjamine,
who moved to the cater to be with his girlfriend.
We did offer him a remote position, but that didn't
work for him. We offered to literally equip him fully
indicators that we can continue to do it, and we're
very happy to at Bellahmine. But like I literally like
(01:48):
bent over backwards to try and get a situation for
him where he didn't have to leave his job, but
he didn't want you to.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
He's engaged. He did he did it. He did it.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
He finally did it, like and he sent me the
picture on a Tuesday or something.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm like, did you do it on a Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Was it a Tuesday engagement type thing? Or you know,
did you say, you know what, today's the day? Or
was he one of those guys that he went and
got the ring and he just couldn't wait any longer,
you know, he had to, He just had to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But anyway, that that was.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
What he moved to do. He moved to see about
a girl. I think she told me he had to.
But anyway, they all worked out. I was beginning to
be a little worried, though, because this is over a
year ago. I think that he left us right, and
I was thinking, you moved to a very small town
in Illinois so that you could be with his girl
because she got a job in politics, that was and
(02:36):
that was closer to Springfield, so that was a good compromise.
And they'd done the long distance thing already, so he
didn't want to do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And I get that.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But a year later that as far as I was concerned,
it hadn't happened yet. And I'm like, what uh oh uh, oh,
you know what, hey, don't be don't be coming back
to me. Don't be crawling back to me like they
all do.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You know you up?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
No, I'm not up. I'm not up right now, I'm
not at all. But I'm not gonna be able to
save you. But it looks like everything's going well for
him and he got engaged, and I'm very excited for
him and very happy for him.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
He's a good kid. We give my hard time.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
He's a good kid, relatively assertive but in an interesting way.
But we love him and we're happy for him. So
let's him have.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
His location if you're wondering. He's home right now.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I mean he was able to significantly upgrade his lifestyle town.
He lives by a lake. Yeah, he's got a hot
fiance now. And you know she got a big fat ring.
That's probably what it was. Was he probably had to
go work a little bit to make some money to
buy the ring. That's probably what it was, you know,
because Lord knows, we weren't paying him anything.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So our introns love to get married early, they do,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well, Yeah, Bellahamine was was she got married when she
was four?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Child?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, so there was a man and then ben Hamine
he waited a little bit longer, though. I don't think
Bella would have stuck around for this. No, U wouldn't
that have been something if Bellahamine and ben Hamene had met,
and then obviously she has the Hebrew Hammer, so she
wouldn't need him. But like, imagine if there had been
love spawn there. Yeah, and we could have had it all.
We could have had two gens beaten up on us
(04:09):
every day. Oh yeah, that would have been amazing. Let's
see we get the headlines in just a second, the
biggest stories of the day, the entertainer reports coming up.
We'll do waiting by the phone this morning? Why does
somebody get goes to the throwback throwdown? Name that tune battle?
I believe we have a new player this morning, don't we? Yeah,
we do, we do. How do you typed it in?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
How you telling me?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Katie?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Two interred bucks is the prize today twenty two and four?
I mean you got one job. You got a lot
of jobs these days. But yeah, no, you typed it in.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I'm a little cloud yea.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What's coming up in the Portskate? What are you working on?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
What are we going to talk about?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Benson boone says, you can be an Internet troll, you
can hate on him, but he has one specific request
for you. Oh yeah, so he just he he's fine
with the hate. He just wants you to do this
one thing.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Okay, yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
See here he's young about the Internet.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I'm looking at my list of things, of all the
different I have so many options to choose.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You're an adventure.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I could go left, I could go right, I can
go straight.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I can turn around, go home, go to bed too.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Car around right now.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I couldn't. I'm gonna turn this car around right now.
We have McDonald's at home. Okay, I can make you
McDonald's at home all right?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That one. Yeah, I remember. I told you guys. This
is kind of an offshoot.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
But I told you guys a few months ago about
the s B mowing guy. Spencer B the guy who
goes around and finds people's houses that are with like
yards that are overgrown and or abandoned, houses that no
one's paid attention to, that are like an iceore for
the neighborhood. And he powerwashes and cuts stuff down and
mo's and does whatever else in the transformations are pretty amazing.
(05:58):
If you have any form of OCD, it's if you
don't care about the good work he's doing. It's highly
satisfying to watch these videos because he finds these really bad,
bad houses, like totally overgrown. Old people live there, they
haven't been able to take care of it themselves or whatever,
and then he goes and completely transforms him. But he
recently met a woman and her name was Beth. That's
(06:22):
all we know about her. She was struggling to keep
up with working her yard in Wichita. She's I guess,
I'm assuming somewhat disabled in that he offered to not
only go in there and clean up her space, but
then build her a ramp so she'd get to her
house more easily, and a bunch of other things. Well,
he started to go fundme for this woman, and he's
(06:42):
raised a million dollars. The GoFundMe has raised a million
dollars for this one woman in Wichita, texasuit I guess,
and she was so sweet. She was contacted by the
city initially, who told her that she had to pay
them two hundred and forty bucks to clean it up.
So then he came around stepped in lean this space
up for free, launched to go fund me to help
her pay for other bills and then share the story
(07:05):
on his TikTok s b mowing. Now, the fundraiser sits
at a million bucks, which is thirty five thousand people
who have donated to help this woman as of Wednesday. Yeah,
it was a eighty nine, eight hundred and eighty nine
thousand dollars thirty five thousand donations from people who saw
this woman and were compelled. So there's some nice news
to start your day. A little follow up to that story.
(07:26):
And I've tried to get the guy on I asked
you did, I don't know. He's too busy mowing because
he didn't have any media people he should. I mean,
he's raising millions of dollars for folks. He gets some media, folks,
Jason will do it for you, yes, uh huh, just
like he does everything else. But they're very sweet videos,
and I'm also amazed if you watch them. Have you
seen any of these videos because you're on I mean,
(07:47):
I can't believe I thought you saw every video on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm starting to think you're on TikTok more than night.
That's impossible. Every time I get on there. Your dot
is green.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
That's impossible. It's impossible. I have never gotten the message
that says, hey, get life, get off this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I don't know why, because I see you on there
every time i'm on there. You're on there.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Well, so ninety business, Okay, you guys have gotten the message.
It's like, hey, why don't you stand up for a minute? Whatever,
drink some water? The TikTok does, is that what it says, like.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Get some water, take a break, go outside, go for
a while.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I've never gotten that message, so I'm clearly not on
there as much as you think.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, maybe if it's on in the background, does that
make it green. Nope, you're on it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You're scrolling, you double tap in, you're watching.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know where about it active, Mind your business. I
kind of turn that off. Mind your business. But no,
he goes to these houses and you'll just knock on
the door, and of course people think it's a solicitor
at first, so they're not that nice to him. And
then he's like, no, no, no, I'm going to uh,
I want to fix your yard or whatever, and then
they'll go, no, I don't want it, because obviously there's
a catch, and he's like, there's no catch. I make
(08:54):
money on the videos and it promotes my business, and
so I just want to do it. And these videos
are so the powerwash itself is so satisfying. It's so satisfying.
But then at the end, he'll knock on the door
and be like, look, I basically just made your house
into a hotel. You know, I built you a pool
in the back while I was at it, you know,
the nice palapa, and yeah, look at the tiki hut
I built for you. You didn't know you had a
(09:15):
tiki hut back there, but I found it. And they'll
go okay, thanks, or they totally unimpressed. I'm like, the
dude just did thousands of dollars worth of worked for
you for free. And some people are very grateful, like
this old woman and look at that she got a
million bucks. And then there are other people who are
it's just like so underwhelmed. It's like, oh, okay, all right,
I'm like, what do you meant?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
All right?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Someone came to your houses that I will fix this jungle,
Like they want to condemn your home and I will
make sure they don't.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And then people are like oh okay, we're free. Yeah right, yeah,
that's you.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Ever watch Undercover Boss that show, Yes, I guess I
was always there were some people, some of the bosses,
that were so overwhelmingly generous. You know, I'm gonna buy
you house. Like one guy I remember was like, I'm
about your car, like you know, I'm about your house.
How much of your kids college tuition debt? I'll pay
for it. And then other times it was like, you know,
you you single handily run this company and you're amazing.
(10:11):
Here's here's five hundred dollars in a pizza. You know.
You sit there and the guys like it is you know,
custom suit or whatever, and you're like, you know, he
flew there in his private jet. And I'm like, now
I'm the one who's ungrateful. I'm like, you could do
more than that. Step it up, you know, that's all
we're getting. So maybe I'm maybe I'm part of them.
Maybe the problem it's me. It could be what would
you guys do in this situation? A twenty six year
(10:33):
old man he went to Reddit to ask if he
was the bad guy after his fiance found out that
the engagement ring that he gave her speaking of engagements.
See there is that there's a method to my man
as there really is. We got there and this story
is not about men. HA mean, by the way it
could be, but it's not, I don't think so. His
fiance found out that the diamond he gave her was
(10:53):
not real. It was moisonite, a moistnite diamond. So he
explained that he recently graduated and couldn't have a real diamond,
so he chose, I guess a lookalike jem that's way
more affordable but shines bright.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So he didn't. I guess he was going to get around.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
To telling her that he essentially bought her a fake diamond,
but he just kind of never got around to him.
All the excitement about the ring and about being engaged
in whatever else, well here comes to drama. While shopping
for wedding bands, the jeweler revealed the ring's true identity,
and his fiance was not impressed, stormed out, ditched the ring,
locked herself in the bedroom, and he's been sleeping on
the couch ever since. He says he didn't mean to
(11:33):
deceive her, he wanted to make her feel special, but
now he's wondering if the truth delay cost him more
than a comfy bed. I'd be wondering if I'm marrying
the right person. Right, you're worried about if she's mad
at you. I'd be worried if I marry the right person.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's pretty dramatic.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Now.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
It would be one thing if he proposed to her,
gave her this huge ring and then said it, told
her this is one hundred percent reeal, like I spent
thousands and millions of dollars on it. I spent tens
of thousands of dollars on this day. He used to
be so grateful to me for this. That would be
one thing. But I don't think he did that. I
think he gave her the ring and he didn't tell
her that it wasn't real, and she was so excited
about it, Like why would you sort of shoot yourself
(12:10):
in the foot like that, like immediately like here here
is this gesture, we're getting engaged in this beautiful ring,
by the way, fake. I don't think anybody would do that.
You were, I mean not right then again, I mean
he didn't lie and say it was real. He just
didn't tell her that it wasn't. And what difference does
it make? He proposed to her. It's a symbol, right,
So what would you guys do in this situation, like
(12:32):
if roles were reversed, because obviously you guys, many of
you are the ones receiving the ranks hopefully well not Yukiki,
but you're not wrong. Yeah, I mean so would you okay?
Would you truly be okay with a fake ring from
Big Tim? For no ring?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
No, no?
Speaker 8 (12:47):
At this point, absolutely my ring must be real because
I've waited this long.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And part of his reasoning is money, right, it has
to be real.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It has to be what I like at this point.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Now, if we were just if we were being HAMI
and his girlfriend and you know whatever, sure, whatever you
give me, I'm happy. We'll we'll upgrade later. But now
it's too far in a game. But however, if I
was in this situation, I would be question if I
want to marry you after you reacted like that over
a mois not ring? They're still there's still a ring, yeah,
(13:17):
Phill Diamond.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Well, and the thing is like in Big Tim's case,
if in fact he's been telling you all this time,
for seven eight years, ever long it's been that he's
waiting to save up to get you there. Then he
can't give you a fake ring after all that, absolutely not,
he can't. He has to give you a very nice ring.
If he's been saving for all this time and that's
the only reason that he hasn't proposed.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
To you, then the ring better be legit. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
But if you're young and you don't have a lot
of money and it's starting out in life and you're
really in love and intent on getting married and that's
what you could afford, and that's what you give the person,
then so long as you don't lie about it, so authenticity,
I guess I don't see the problem, right, No.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
No, I agree with that.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
I am somebody who actually has married for two years
now technically I she's actually.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Married, not I do marriage. We thought all the time.
I was like, no one really believes it, but you're
telling me it's real, Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I very much totificate around all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean that was there right right, you got your
diploma and then your marriage certificate.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I carry about.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I was present for the fake wedding. I thought it
was weird that you had your college diploma in your hand.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
When you got married.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
But you know, you're proud of well, I got things
to prove, you know, all the time, so whip them
both out. But I honestly feel that and this could
just be me speaking now that I'm on the other
side of this, but like a lot of the stuff
doesn't matter, and I promise you it doesn't. Like I
don't people do the whole you know, big ring. You know,
we're in tons of debt thing, they do the big wedding.
We're in tons of debt, We're in tons of debt.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They do a whole thing.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
And now that I'm on the other side of it,
and I look at it and I'm like, very happy
that I didn't do a Yahoo wedding because I wanted
a Yahoo house, like when I go, yeah, who backyard,
So I knew like where my priority stood. And I
think a lot of people forget that when it comes
to marriage, Like, yes, the ring and the wedding and
all that, it should be special and beautiful. And I agree,
and it should be what you want. I'm not shaming
you for wanting what you want. But when you look
(14:58):
at the other side of things, like, honey, this is
economy and the way that things are with housing and
just the bigger picture of marriage, because when you get married,
you're going to combine your life together, So like, are
we going to upgrade our home, our cars?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Are we going to have children?
Speaker 8 (15:10):
Like?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
These things to me are more important and cost a
lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's Paulina sounds like this.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
This woman would rather this twenty six year old man
go into debt, yes on a ring who can't afford
for something that looks the same as what she wound
up receiving. Now again, if he said to her, oh,
you should be so grateful to me, because this is
so real and so expensive, well that's a lie. That's awful,
you know, that would if you're passing it off as
something that it's not. But it's the symbol, right, And
(15:36):
I know it's easy for me to say because I
don't think I could probably I probably couldn't get away
with that, you know, giving somebody a fake ring. But
I also I've also said, for as long as you've
done the show that I don't think anybody should be
spending money on a ring that they don't have, because
to your point, it's like, why am I spending Why
am I going to go into debt and pay interest
on a ring that I can't afford so that to
keep up with the Jones what it is, so that
(15:58):
you can brag to your friends about how basically how
broke I am, you know what I mean? And then
and then and it's going to hold us. If it's
going to hold us back from paying bills or upgrading
our home or having a home or whatever, well, then
that it defeats the purpose, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I think so.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
I feel like these things, like, again, they don't matter
as much as we think they are. I mean, you're
entitled to want what you want. I'm not trying to
take that away from anybody, but I'm telling you, like,
these things are expensive and it's not worth it to
post on Instagram so that my little friend from high
school that I don't even talk to anymore can see
my ring.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I see this happen in real life all the time,
and I'm like, this is goofy, my hot take.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Jason, Mike the Mechanic proposes with a mois and Nite ring.
Would you accept it?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Is?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
What is?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
It's actually a diamond?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Oh okay, it's like chemically a diamond, but it's not
like it's not a natural diamond.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I don't care you can never tell those two. It
would take an onion ring. Get a ring, don't. I
don't care, I would not care, And imagine how stupid.
But you look, because now that he's broke, you're gonna
have to go ask somebody for money to pay for
your mortgage. But you know you out here begging for money,
but you got this big a ring on your.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Finger that happens every day, every day.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well that's crazy, Lauren asked. The question is withholding lying?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I think so sometimes.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I mean, he knew what he was doing. He definitely
knew what he was easy.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
You give someone a ring that looks like a traditional
diamond ring, you're clearly passing it off for tradition.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You're passing it off for being real.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Because if you hand me an engagement ring that looks
like every other engagement ring that looks like a diamond,
I guess I'm assuming it's a diamond.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But I guess I also don't know why it matters.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I feel like it only matters to people who don't
have one, Like people with the rings don't never think
about like, you know, I want it's a ring real,
like who cares well?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
And the other thing is like many many years ago,
before lab grow and diamonds were a thing, it did.
If you had a huge monster diamond, it did mean
someone spent a ton of money. Now it doesn't necessarily
mean that anymore. Like a big honkerd diamond that's lab
grown in is a quarter of the price of you
know what I mean. So like like you can go
get you a j Lo ring, you know it looks
(18:11):
like that for a quarter of the price, which still
is expensive. You're still spending money on it, but it
doesn't necessarily know. Twenty years ago, if you had a
four carrot ring, somebody spent six figures on that. Now
if you have a four carret ring, it doesn't necessarily
mean that. So I guess I don't know why we're that.
I debate this all the time, Like if I actually
ever did get married, it would help to have a
girlfriend first, But if I did, like would I spend
all the money on a real Honker ring that I
(18:33):
always intended I would do? When someone else can go
spend a quarter or less of it and have the
same look for less money and everyone thinks it's the same.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Nobody would know, So that's.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
So I don't know I don't know what I would do,
because you could argue, well, if you go buy the
real thing, it holds its value and it's worth more.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well who's you might not be selling it? Like why
you're only selling it if we get divorced. So I
don't know that. I want to help you in a divorce.
So I'm going to get you.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
A fake as ring, I guess because that way, if
you leave me, then you don't have as much money
and I can keep my money. I don't know, but
that used to be the thing, like if you had
a huge, huge ring, Oh man, that guy loves you.
That was he spent all his money on that. Well,
now it doesn't necessarily mean that.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Because that still happening. Like do people show off their
rings Like I don't know, Like ytime, if I like,
if you had a Mois and Night ring, I wouldn't
be like, that's Mois and I, Like, I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Is not a lab grown diamond.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's what someone is.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
There's three different kinds lab grown.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
The regular sist Night I think is a whole different jem.
It's a whole different thing.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Gymstone although a lab created one, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But not a diamond.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Technically, I would want to know, and I don't also
want to know.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, I would want to know, and i'd also rather
have like an heirloom that's smaller than like a Mois
and Night ring. So I guess I'm a weirdo, but
I do feel like if I'm going to wear something
on me, I should know the.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Facts about it and what's going on with it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But I wouldn't want someone to overextend and spend money
they don't have.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I guess I don't know how you do that, Like
someone texted, uh, you have a conversation ahead of time
about what's realistic. Because if I give you a ring again,
I'm not going to propose to you. You're so excited,
you're happy, Oh, it's so beautiful, and then go by
the way fake, No, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You feel me out before, like, hey, what do you
think of those mois and Night rings?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
If I'm like new, then you know, yeah, but don't
do it when you're on the dock on one knee,
you know, overlooking the ocean.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Do yeah, you're on a here do you picture it? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
My hater says, this is why Fred is single. What
what are you even talking about?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
This is this is a moron who has said for
the last year that they will never listen to us again,
and they text us every day.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Oh oh, she's trapped in the carpet.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Well, thank you for your patronage. Yeah, I appreciate that
you could put your fingers in your ears with something
tells me to people in the carpooloud appreciate it if
you weren't in the carpool anymore. Let's see that the
big stories of the day in two minutes. It's Fred Joe,
frend Joe, two things and Kiln just said it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And you're right.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Since when it being single will become a disc has
anyone ever considered maybe I choose this life.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's an odd flex to do someone about being single.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
And I think most people can get married if they
or be in a relationship if they must. Yes, I
think it seems unfathomable to some people that people choose
a life of me. I was just like, I just
it's so funny to me when people will be like, well,
that's that's why you're single, or this is why you're single.
I'm like, first of all, I know what I do
(21:37):
and I know that thirteen people hear this. On the
other side, I understand what I'm doing. But at the
same time, have you ever considered that maybe I like this,
and I really.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Like this, think the fourteen hundreds like, I don't understand.
I just don't get it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And this was pretty good.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Someone texted, I told my boyfriend that proposed to me
with a dog, and I'll buy the ring, like one hundred,
five hundred bucks whatever. I don't wear jewelry, so I
don't care for an expensive one. I'd rather have the
dog in the house.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So I I love it. I love it too.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
You know, the dog hopefully will live forever, but they
typically don't, so there's that. But I mean, I think
it's still a sweet sentiment.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That is so sweet. My gay cousin and his fiance
exchange really nice watches.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Sweet.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, you would take a Rolex any day or a ring, right?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
What what would you want, Jason, if if Mike did
propose to you, because I know you wouldn't wear like
a diamond ring.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I like the I don't know what.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
They're made out of, but the black ones that are
just like the band, not the plastic ones. They're like
actual metal or like like black all the way around.
Like I like those.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
And this is a stupid question, but do you if
it's not like because I guess the tradition is a
diamond engagement ring. That's the that's the engagement and then
we get bands when we get married. So if he
proposes to you, does he give you the wedding band?
Aheaded like is that what he proposes with?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You wear that? And then he gets swarm when you
get married?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Like if you're not going to do the engagement ring
quote in Coote tradition, I guess I don't know how
that works.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Yeah, I don't know about girl, I waited fifteen years
to get one ring. I'm trying it too, So I'm
gonna take this one ring, give me the first one
at the start, and we'll be good. I said anything else.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
To you guys before too.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
It's like my friends, they save up all this money
and they get these beautiful engagement rings and then then
there's the band, right, and then now I'm noticing people
like sometimes they sawder them together, but it's like, no,
I don't want to wear that huge ring all the time,
so I just wear the band I'm like, well, then,
why did I spend all that money on the other ring.
We could have just slipped right the right to the band,
the one you're gonna wear all the time, and that
(23:34):
we're good. My mom never full on wedding ring or
engagement ring. Rather, she wears a band. And I don't
even think it's a band she got at the wedding.
I think it's another one she wanted down the road.
So I guess what I mean is like, what can
we just skip the part where I have to buy
the big ass diamond and I'll just get you to
all the little ones in a circle, you know what
I'm saying. I get you that one, and everybody's happy
(23:55):
because we're never going to see the other one again anyway.
I don't think very many people wear their full on
engagement ring every day.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Well I do, but yeah, yeah, my mom, and I
will hear you.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Well, that's why you're having some back problems, probably because
that thing weighs eight pounds.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Red Show is on Bride's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Fresh Chicago Bears fans some sad news this morning. Hall
of Famer Steve Mongo McMichael, a member of the dominant
Chicago Bears famed forty six defense of the eighties.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
He passed away at the age of sixty seven.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
He was diagnosed with als known as Luke Garrick's disease
in twenty twenty one, and his fight has been well documented.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
It's a terrible thing.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
He played one season for the Patriots, one with the
Green Bay Packers, and thirteen seasons in between with the Bears,
when he made his mark, including playing in a team
record one hundred and ninety one consecutive games. In total,
he played two hundred and seven games from eighty one
to ninety four. The defensive tackle won a Super Bowl,
of course, in eighty five, and was twice selected First

all the coverage. Yes, I know you're so excited about this.
The first round of course tonight seventh, Central, eight Eastern,

of different channels. Oh that's interesting. Well, okay, all right,
So who's going number one tonight? I would be curious,
you know, Brett, Brett, Brett is going number one. A
lot of people are talking about Brett. That's a hot
take though, because some people are saying Brett's gonna go too,
(25:43):
and you're saying, one.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
He's fresh out of University of Denver, and these people
this year, let me look at this. We got a
lot of like the quarterbacks have a lot of quarterbacking
names this year. Like sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
If quarterbacks weren't born to be quarterbacks, Like when your
name is like John Powers quarterback, or like Steve Laser,
Like I don't the.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
NFL big predictions. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
It's like these guys like Brock Brock, like you're supposed
to be a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
But I was reading this morning with these with these
people are I don't care who was drafted in nineteen
thirty six.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't I'm sorry, I don't care. I'm not concerned
with it.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
I feel like I was there.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I want to know who's going to get picked.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Cam Ward Oh yeah, actually he just he strikes me
as a that's a quarterback, cam mana is a hot
like quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Name, what are the quarterbacks do we have? I'm going
through the list here of the predicted picture.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I know you.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I think you wrote this. Actually yeah, yeah, it's your
article that I'm reading.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I know you know everything there is to know, well,
Schador Sanders. I mean, it's not really a traditional sort
of quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He knew you know what I'm.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Talking about them like name like Rex, right, I.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Don't know it.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Every now and again you'll just just like, oh, that
guy I was born to be a football player, Like
that's a football player name. And now I can't come
up with any other examples on the fly, so they
just take my word for him. A fast moving wildfire
in Ocean City, New Jersey, has burned over twelve thousand acres,
now making it one of the state's largest in nearly
twenty years. A blaze known as the Jones Road wildfire
began on Tuesday and has quickly spread due to dry
(27:21):
conditions and strong winds. As of last night, the fire
was approximately fifty percent contained. Official step the fire will
continue to burn until substantial rainfall arrives, which is expected
later in the week. Five thousand residents have been evacuated
from Lacy and Ocean townships with the evacuation orders were
lifted later in the day, So if you know anybody
anywhere near there, check on them, make sure they're okay.
Pope Francis is now lying in state and the church
(27:43):
is going to extend hours to pay respects due to
the size of the crowds. His body was moved to
Saint Peter's yesterday where he will lie in state for
three days to allow the public to pay their respects.
The funeral scheduled for Saturday ten am local time, and
of course world leaders from all of the place will attend.
And then the conclave where one hundred and thirty five
(28:04):
cardinals who are eligible to vote, and the conclave will
select a new pope. And boy, there's a lot of
speculation about who he's going to be. I mean, we've
got we got the guy from MSNBC, you know, the
nerdy guy that does all the election stuff on the
We got him on the wall talking about the Pope.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Man.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
That dude is into this talking about odds, talking about
could be this guy, could be that guy I saw
a whole rundown last night. Well, this guy is more
of an administrative cardinal, and this guy's more of a
spiritual cardinal. And this guy he doesn't have any experience
running business of the church. But this guy's beloved for
his takes hot takes on the Bible or whatever. Yeah,
(28:43):
Jason Dart, by the way, that's a quarterback. Oh you
started selling John Gruden right now. That's a quarterback. Jason
Dart and Jason Dart. Yeah, you know Cam Newton.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I don't know. Yeah, it's a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Jason Brown.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Is it Jason or jack Jackson Dart? No, Jackson, that's
even better with an act yes, Julish.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
When he was born, his parents were like, this kid
is going to be you have to be good at something.
A name like Jackson with an X. You cannot be
a loser. No, If you're Jackson with an X with
the last name Dark and you're not doing something great,
we had a problem, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Me.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
On the other hand, I just had a generic ass name.
I had two first names, first and last I mean
I could have been anything and nobody would have cared.
And then I changed it all and made a fake name,
you know, a nickname, so really nobody cares. Passengers said
they were trapped in a driverless vehicle another one of
these wamo stories. Wham waimo I think it's An Austin
(29:41):
woman named Becky posted on TikTok after her Waimo robotaxi
locked her and her friends inside on an expressway on
Mopak in Austin, where two lanes merging traffic flies by.
I guess the thing got confused. They were told the
car couldn't be moved remotely. Even worse, they couldn't be
let out. It wasn't until you threatened to live stream
the whole thing. The door is finally unlocked then, and
(30:03):
as they walked away, the car randomly took off like
nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
That is so weird.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
They responded, saying that riders can exit any time by
pulling the handle twice, and insisted the car was around
a thirty mile per hour road with a sidewalk. This
isn't the first clips they've had with this thing. Are
we are we sure that these are Are we sure?
We should have these out there yet have we fully vetted?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You know? Why do we have to be test pilots
as customers like? But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Maybybe we'll let these things run around a little while
longer before you put people with them, because I'm just
we're just hearing things that are a little weird, like
them going in circles in the parking lot of you know,
strip malls and people can't get out and whatever else.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
But they have them in Arizona. I guess they have
them in Austin. So they don't have them everywhere yet.
But this is where we're going. You know, we're headed
in this direction where you're uber or whatever comes and
picks you up and there's nobody there.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
I'm gonna try next week. I'm going to Austin.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Are you're gonna get in one? One is there?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
I'm gonna get in it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, you're afraid to leave your home and you're going
to get in a driverless vehicle there.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You don't like other people to drive, right, but you's
driving Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I think I'd rather a Weamo than Paulina though, So
there's that.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
Don't know me, You're gonna regret saying that when you
get into that weimo and you're gonna be down the
street in a river.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I would never drive us right into a river as
opposed to you. He just pulls out in front of cars.
That's it. So it's either wind up at a river
or die. Get you where you got to, Gomo.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
What is it called?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Is that your version?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Is that what you came up with that you forgot
to You were a trademarket, just like vevno weymo. I
believe it's waymo, it's weimo. Yes yeah. Nevada woman reported
a drone hovering right outside her bedroom window at three
point thirty in the morning. She says it felt like
high tech peeping because it was, and it's really really scary.
After sharing her story in a neighborhood watch group, others
(31:52):
chimed in with their own creepy droning counters, including one
neighbor who says a drone hovered over her backyard while
she was tanning. You know these things are being used
for stuff like that. Police say, if a drum flies
low over your property, it's a civil issue unless it's
tied to stalking, harassment or trespassing, then you can call
the cops. Drum Palace as supposed to follow FAA rules,
(32:12):
register the devices and stay above two hundred and fifty
feet over private property unless they're working jobs like real estate.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
And then these people don't care about that.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
And finally, in light of my recent interest and my
desire to make all of you interested in legos with
your grown up money, because I think it's very relaxing
for the most part, unless something doesn't come together properly,
and then you then it's very frustrating and angering and
completely defeats the purpose. But an Austine woman has set
the record for the largest Minions collection. The woman in
(32:43):
Australia has turned her love for the Minions into a
Guinness World Record. Her name is I don't know what
it is, Beneki. I don't know, but the E N
E c K. She fell in love with the Minions
immediately while watching the first Despicable Me film fifteen years ago.
Now she has as an over one thousand item collection.
She says, I'm just a big kid at heart, and
(33:04):
I have no problem with that. But imagine this woman.
I mean, you know, you meet her on a dating
app or whatever and You're like, hey, let's hang on.
You go to her house and she has a thousand
minions items. I mean, what do we think about that?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I'm probably gonna head home. What I know, it's a
lot of clutter.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
We're giving her a fake ring, you know what? I yeah,
you don't get a real ring in your minions.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
The Entertainer Report after Chaperone in three minutes, Fred Show
Cawen's Entertainer Report.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Is on the Fread Show.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Are we still watching award shows?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I don't know, but Kendrick Lamar has been nominated for
ten awards at the American Music Awards, including Artists of
the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year,
which you had to know was coming. Post Malone follows
with eight, while Billie Eilish and Chapel Roan who we
just played, and Shaboozi have seven nods each. Taylor Swift,
who has the most AMA Awards in history, is also
up for six this year and first time nomine is
(34:00):
a really good class including Benson Boone, Doci, Gracie Abrams,
Jelly Roll, Lola Young who I Love the Marias Rose,
Teddy Swims, Tommy Richmond, Tyla Sabrina Carpenter, and Zach Bryan.
The show airs on CBS and Paramount Plus on May
twenty six, if you're into that sort of thing. Still,
speaking of Benson Boone, he has one small request for
(34:20):
his haters. The singer was venting on TikTok, telling internet strolls,
if you hate me or my music, at least have
a good reason for it. He wants some constructive criticism.
He said, I just read a comment that says, I
don't know why I hate Benson, but it just feels right,
Like what, how am I supposed to improve after reading that? Right?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Exactly? He's not, but.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Then yeah he should, Yeah, he should be. He then
gave suggestions on things to hate on him for. So
here's some examples. If you want to hate on him,
you could write he low key just flips everywhere? Can
he do anything else? Or even like, I don't like
his songs, even though I'm basing my opinion off the
one song that I've heard over and over and over again,
which he says is super valid.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Suck good idea.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Unless you were ripped off, or your safety was at risk,
or you were victimized in some criminal way. How about
if you think someone sucks, you just don't take the
time out of your day to grab the phone and
let them know, because it says more about you than
it does about them that Like it's like, Oh, you
suck so much that I took the time to figure
(35:26):
out how to get a hold of the place where
you work to tell you that you suck? Yep, Like
how did people at no point in the process of
doing that, whether it's a celebrity or it's here or whatever,
is at no point in that process.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Do you think I am such a loser for this?
Like you know, you know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah,
I know what I'm going to do today.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
I'm going to wake up and tell some unsuspecting people
who have nothing to do with me and didn't mean
to do anything to me how much I hate them.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Why?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Like what does that accomplish?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I always like to know, Like what were you looking
for out of out of this situation? Like did you
want to hurt me? Do you want to get into
it with me? Do you just want me to feel
bad about myself? Like what because all the options there's
not really a great one, you know, what are you
looking for?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Or do you just feel good? Saying mean stuf.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Well, and that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Like, so you you're the kind of person that you
would like to put your name on on how much
someone else sucks publicly, and that somehow makes you feel
a certain kind of way, Like what does that say
about you? So my advice captain positivity in twenty twenty
five two. You can come in, you can keep hating
on me. It's fine, But I'm just saying, maybe think
about what it looks like when you do that to
Benson Boone or whomever else, Like what is it? What
(36:31):
are you actually accomplishing? Right?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Who, by the way, is the nicest human.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
He's a very nice guy and he's like twenty two.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
He's a nice guy. He's really talented.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Leave him alone.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
It just this proves though that is just like it
doesn't matter, like people are going to be trolls just
because they want to be. When you're unhappy within yourself, yeah,
it radiates, It just comes out and take it out
on people the Internet.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's weird old behavior, but I just want.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
To encourage people not to do it like them. I
just is this is Fred talking to his haters, isn't it. No,
I'm talking to all haters. You can hate on me,
honestly part of the job. I get it. I just don't.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I don't know what exactly it makes me feel sad
for other people, Like you go into comments of anyone
and someone will loose persons suck, not us, I mean
anywhere those person sucks, right, who sucks?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Why didn't follow them right the post? And they're so sorry, Like,
well then why are you involved? Like if they suck them,
the best thing you could do is ignore this, go away.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
No one cares. I'm like, oh, you speak for everyone?
Speaker 5 (37:22):
Oh god, I just, I just I would encourage folks,
and I don't think we don't have a lot of them,
because the people listen to us, for the most part
are the finest folks around. But I would just say,
like it it ultimately looks work looks worse on you
than it does for whatever you think you're accomplishing.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
So how about maybe don't.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah and the whole you signed up for this thing? No,
I just I just signed up to yap and hopefully
make someone smile, you know, with my friends.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
But yeah, like if we might kind of show that
woke up every day and was like we're gonna spin
it everywhere. We're gonna we're gonna really get them going
every day, you know, Okay, then fine, but like we're not.
We're coming here like we try and make people smile, laugh, whatever.
Like it's just simple. And if you don't like it,

Hi Jason Bratti, Good morning Bella. I mean, is here
(00:35):
on the phone of the text she bodied you before
you could even get in the building today.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I hadn't even said good morning yet, but I looked
down at my coffee and it says you're iconic sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Wow, that's how we start today. Yeah, So hey, haylehen
you're iconic all the time. I'm concerned.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Thank you. She's keeping me humble, I suppose.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I mean, what is it with these with these gents,
What is it with the man?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Man.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
The level of the level of honesty, the level of
it's it's it's a comfort on one side, and then
it's like a it's like a fear and paranoia on.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The other side.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Right, yeah, I don't know how you can be both,
but somehow they can.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
It's like, right now she's freaking out because she wrote that,
and then we're talking about it in a way that
may or may not be positive and so right now,
so but you were bold enough to write it.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Yeah, so own it, yes, and then I'll get a
text like it's not that deep.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Chill.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Oh see chill, she chill. Yeah, you know, speaking of
which I don't know if you guys knew this.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Maybe you did.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
We haven't discussed it though, but our last boss, Benjamine,
who moved to the cater to be with his girlfriend.
We did offer him a remote position, but that didn't
work for him. We offered to literally equip him fully
indicators that we can continue to do it, and we're
very happy to at Bellahmine. But like I literally like
(01:48):
bent over backwards to try and get a situation for
him where he didn't have to leave his job, but
he didn't want you to.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
He's engaged. He did he did it. He did it.
Speaker 5 (01:59):
He finally did it, like and he sent me the
picture on a Tuesday or something.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm like, did you do it on a Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:04):
Was it a Tuesday engagement type thing? Or you know,
did you say, you know what, today's the day? Or
was he one of those guys that he went and
got the ring and he just couldn't wait any longer,
you know, he had to, He just had to do it.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But anyway, that that was.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
What he moved to do. He moved to see about
a girl. I think she told me he had to.
But anyway, they all worked out. I was beginning to
be a little worried, though, because this is over a
year ago. I think that he left us right, and
I was thinking, you moved to a very small town
in Illinois so that you could be with his girl
because she got a job in politics, that was and
(02:36):
that was closer to Springfield, so that was a good compromise.
And they'd done the long distance thing already, so he
didn't want to do that anymore.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
And I get that.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
But a year later that as far as I was concerned,
it hadn't happened yet. And I'm like, what uh oh uh, oh,
you know what, hey, don't be don't be coming back
to me. Don't be crawling back to me like they
all do.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
You know you up?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You know?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
No, I'm not up. I'm not up right now, I'm
not at all. But I'm not gonna be able to
save you. But it looks like everything's going well for
him and he got engaged, and I'm very excited for
him and very happy for him.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
He's a good kid. We give my hard time.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
He's a good kid, relatively assertive but in an interesting way.
But we love him and we're happy for him. So
let's him have.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
His location if you're wondering. He's home right now.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
I mean he was able to significantly upgrade his lifestyle town.
He lives by a lake. Yeah, he's got a hot
fiance now. And you know she got a big fat ring.
That's probably what it was. Was he probably had to
go work a little bit to make some money to
buy the ring. That's probably what it was, you know,
because Lord knows, we weren't paying him anything.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So our introns love to get married early, they do,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Well, Yeah, Bellahamine was was she got married when she
was four?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Child?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, so there was a man and then ben Hamine
he waited a little bit longer, though. I don't think
Bella would have stuck around for this. No, U wouldn't
that have been something if Bellahamine and ben Hamene had met,
and then obviously she has the Hebrew Hammer, so she
wouldn't need him. But like, imagine if there had been
love spawn there. Yeah, and we could have had it all.
We could have had two gens beaten up on us
(04:09):
every day. Oh yeah, that would have been amazing. Let's
see we get the headlines in just a second, the
biggest stories of the day, the entertainer reports coming up.
We'll do waiting by the phone this morning? Why does
somebody get goes to the throwback throwdown? Name that tune battle?
I believe we have a new player this morning, don't we? Yeah,
we do, we do. How do you typed it in?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
How you telling me?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Katie?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Two interred bucks is the prize today twenty two and four?
I mean you got one job. You got a lot
of jobs these days. But yeah, no, you typed it in.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I'm a little cloud yea.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
What's coming up in the Portskate? What are you working on?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
What are we going to talk about?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Benson boone says, you can be an Internet troll, you
can hate on him, but he has one specific request
for you. Oh yeah, so he just he he's fine
with the hate. He just wants you to do this
one thing.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Okay, yeah, I know.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
See here he's young about the Internet.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I'm looking at my list of things, of all the
different I have so many options to choose.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You're an adventure.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
I could go left, I could go right, I can
go straight.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I can turn around, go home, go to bed too.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Car around right now.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I couldn't. I'm gonna turn this car around right now.
We have McDonald's at home. Okay, I can make you
McDonald's at home all right?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
That one. Yeah, I remember. I told you guys. This
is kind of an offshoot.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
But I told you guys a few months ago about
the s B mowing guy. Spencer B the guy who
goes around and finds people's houses that are with like
yards that are overgrown and or abandoned, houses that no
one's paid attention to, that are like an iceore for
the neighborhood. And he powerwashes and cuts stuff down and
mo's and does whatever else in the transformations are pretty amazing.
(05:58):
If you have any form of OCD, it's if you
don't care about the good work he's doing. It's highly
satisfying to watch these videos because he finds these really bad,
bad houses, like totally overgrown. Old people live there, they
haven't been able to take care of it themselves or whatever,
and then he goes and completely transforms him. But he
recently met a woman and her name was Beth. That's
(06:22):
all we know about her. She was struggling to keep
up with working her yard in Wichita. She's I guess,
I'm assuming somewhat disabled in that he offered to not
only go in there and clean up her space, but
then build her a ramp so she'd get to her
house more easily, and a bunch of other things. Well,
he started to go fundme for this woman, and he's
(06:42):
raised a million dollars. The GoFundMe has raised a million
dollars for this one woman in Wichita, texasuit I guess,
and she was so sweet. She was contacted by the
city initially, who told her that she had to pay
them two hundred and forty bucks to clean it up.
So then he came around stepped in lean this space
up for free, launched to go fund me to help
her pay for other bills and then share the story
(07:05):
on his TikTok s b mowing. Now, the fundraiser sits
at a million bucks, which is thirty five thousand people
who have donated to help this woman as of Wednesday. Yeah,
it was a eighty nine, eight hundred and eighty nine
thousand dollars thirty five thousand donations from people who saw
this woman and were compelled. So there's some nice news
to start your day. A little follow up to that story.
(07:26):
And I've tried to get the guy on I asked
you did, I don't know. He's too busy mowing because
he didn't have any media people he should. I mean,
he's raising millions of dollars for folks. He gets some media, folks,
Jason will do it for you, yes, uh huh, just
like he does everything else. But they're very sweet videos,
and I'm also amazed if you watch them. Have you
seen any of these videos because you're on I mean,
(07:47):
I can't believe I thought you saw every video on TikTok.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm starting to think you're on TikTok more than night.
That's impossible. Every time I get on there. Your dot
is green.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
That's impossible. It's impossible. I have never gotten the message
that says, hey, get life, get off this thing.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
I don't know why, because I see you on there
every time i'm on there. You're on there.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Well, so ninety business, Okay, you guys have gotten the message.
It's like, hey, why don't you stand up for a minute? Whatever,
drink some water? The TikTok does, is that what it says, like.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Get some water, take a break, go outside, go for
a while.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I've never gotten that message, so I'm clearly not on
there as much as you think.
Speaker 6 (08:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Well, maybe if it's on in the background, does that
make it green. Nope, you're on it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You're scrolling, you double tap in, you're watching.
Speaker 5 (08:33):
You know where about it active, Mind your business. I
kind of turn that off. Mind your business. But no,
he goes to these houses and you'll just knock on
the door, and of course people think it's a solicitor
at first, so they're not that nice to him. And
then he's like, no, no, no, I'm going to uh,
I want to fix your yard or whatever, and then
they'll go, no, I don't want it, because obviously there's
a catch, and he's like, there's no catch. I make
(08:54):
money on the videos and it promotes my business, and
so I just want to do it. And these videos
are so the powerwash itself is so satisfying. It's so satisfying.
But then at the end, he'll knock on the door
and be like, look, I basically just made your house
into a hotel. You know, I built you a pool
in the back while I was at it, you know,
the nice palapa, and yeah, look at the tiki hut
I built for you. You didn't know you had a
(09:15):
tiki hut back there, but I found it. And they'll
go okay, thanks, or they totally unimpressed. I'm like, the
dude just did thousands of dollars worth of worked for
you for free. And some people are very grateful, like
this old woman and look at that she got a
million bucks. And then there are other people who are
it's just like so underwhelmed. It's like, oh, okay, all right,
I'm like, what do you meant?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
All right?
Speaker 5 (09:36):
Someone came to your houses that I will fix this jungle,
Like they want to condemn your home and I will
make sure they don't.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And then people are like oh okay, we're free. Yeah right, yeah,
that's you.
Speaker 5 (09:49):
Ever watch Undercover Boss that show, Yes, I guess I
was always there were some people, some of the bosses,
that were so overwhelmingly generous. You know, I'm gonna buy
you house. Like one guy I remember was like, I'm
about your car, like you know, I'm about your house.
How much of your kids college tuition debt? I'll pay
for it. And then other times it was like, you know,
you you single handily run this company and you're amazing.
(10:11):
Here's here's five hundred dollars in a pizza. You know.
You sit there and the guys like it is you know,
custom suit or whatever, and you're like, you know, he
flew there in his private jet. And I'm like, now
I'm the one who's ungrateful. I'm like, you could do
more than that. Step it up, you know, that's all
we're getting. So maybe I'm maybe I'm part of them.
Maybe the problem it's me. It could be what would
you guys do in this situation? A twenty six year
(10:33):
old man he went to Reddit to ask if he
was the bad guy after his fiance found out that
the engagement ring that he gave her speaking of engagements.
See there is that there's a method to my man
as there really is. We got there and this story
is not about men. HA mean, by the way it
could be, but it's not, I don't think so. His
fiance found out that the diamond he gave her was
(10:53):
not real. It was moisonite, a moistnite diamond. So he
explained that he recently graduated and couldn't have a real diamond,
so he chose, I guess a lookalike jem that's way
more affordable but shines bright.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So he didn't. I guess he was going to get around.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
To telling her that he essentially bought her a fake diamond,
but he just kind of never got around to him.
All the excitement about the ring and about being engaged
in whatever else, well here comes to drama. While shopping
for wedding bands, the jeweler revealed the ring's true identity,
and his fiance was not impressed, stormed out, ditched the ring,
locked herself in the bedroom, and he's been sleeping on
the couch ever since. He says he didn't mean to
(11:33):
deceive her, he wanted to make her feel special, but
now he's wondering if the truth delay cost him more
than a comfy bed. I'd be wondering if I'm marrying
the right person. Right, you're worried about if she's mad
at you. I'd be worried if I marry the right person.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
That's pretty dramatic.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Now.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
It would be one thing if he proposed to her,
gave her this huge ring and then said it, told
her this is one hundred percent reeal, like I spent
thousands and millions of dollars on it. I spent tens
of thousands of dollars on this day. He used to
be so grateful to me for this. That would be
one thing. But I don't think he did that. I
think he gave her the ring and he didn't tell
her that it wasn't real, and she was so excited
about it, Like why would you sort of shoot yourself
(12:10):
in the foot like that, like immediately like here here
is this gesture, we're getting engaged in this beautiful ring,
by the way, fake. I don't think anybody would do that.
You were, I mean not right then again, I mean
he didn't lie and say it was real. He just
didn't tell her that it wasn't. And what difference does
it make? He proposed to her. It's a symbol, right,
So what would you guys do in this situation, like
(12:32):
if roles were reversed, because obviously you guys, many of
you are the ones receiving the ranks hopefully well not Yukiki,
but you're not wrong. Yeah, I mean so would you okay?
Would you truly be okay with a fake ring from
Big Tim? For no ring?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
No, no?
Speaker 8 (12:47):
At this point, absolutely my ring must be real because
I've waited this long.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
And part of his reasoning is money, right, it has
to be real.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
It has to be what I like at this point.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Now, if we were just if we were being HAMI
and his girlfriend and you know whatever, sure, whatever you
give me, I'm happy. We'll we'll upgrade later. But now
it's too far in a game. But however, if I
was in this situation, I would be question if I
want to marry you after you reacted like that over
a mois not ring? They're still there's still a ring, yeah,
(13:17):
Phill Diamond.
Speaker 5 (13:18):
Well, and the thing is like in Big Tim's case,
if in fact he's been telling you all this time,
for seven eight years, ever long it's been that he's
waiting to save up to get you there. Then he
can't give you a fake ring after all that, absolutely not,
he can't. He has to give you a very nice ring.
If he's been saving for all this time and that's
the only reason that he hasn't proposed.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
To you, then the ring better be legit. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
But if you're young and you don't have a lot
of money and it's starting out in life and you're
really in love and intent on getting married and that's
what you could afford, and that's what you give the person,
then so long as you don't lie about it, so authenticity,
I guess I don't see the problem, right, No.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
No, I agree with that.
Speaker 9 (13:54):
I am somebody who actually has married for two years
now technically I she's actually.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Married, not I do marriage. We thought all the time.
I was like, no one really believes it, but you're
telling me it's real, Okay.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I very much totificate around all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I mean that was there right right, you got your
diploma and then your marriage certificate.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I carry about.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
I was present for the fake wedding. I thought it
was weird that you had your college diploma in your hand.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
When you got married.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
But you know, you're proud of well, I got things
to prove, you know, all the time, so whip them
both out. But I honestly feel that and this could
just be me speaking now that I'm on the other
side of this, but like a lot of the stuff
doesn't matter, and I promise you it doesn't. Like I
don't people do the whole you know, big ring. You know,
we're in tons of debt thing, they do the big wedding.
We're in tons of debt, We're in tons of debt.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They do a whole thing.
Speaker 9 (14:38):
And now that I'm on the other side of it,
and I look at it and I'm like, very happy
that I didn't do a Yahoo wedding because I wanted
a Yahoo house, like when I go, yeah, who backyard,
So I knew like where my priority stood. And I
think a lot of people forget that when it comes
to marriage, Like, yes, the ring and the wedding and
all that, it should be special and beautiful. And I agree,
and it should be what you want. I'm not shaming
you for wanting what you want. But when you look
(14:58):
at the other side of things, like, honey, this is
economy and the way that things are with housing and
just the bigger picture of marriage, because when you get married,
you're going to combine your life together, So like, are
we going to upgrade our home, our cars?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Are we going to have children?
Speaker 8 (15:10):
Like?
Speaker 3 (15:11):
These things to me are more important and cost a
lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's Paulina sounds like this.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
This woman would rather this twenty six year old man
go into debt, yes on a ring who can't afford
for something that looks the same as what she wound
up receiving. Now again, if he said to her, oh,
you should be so grateful to me, because this is
so real and so expensive, well that's a lie. That's awful,
you know, that would if you're passing it off as
something that it's not. But it's the symbol, right, And
(15:36):
I know it's easy for me to say because I
don't think I could probably I probably couldn't get away
with that, you know, giving somebody a fake ring. But
I also I've also said, for as long as you've
done the show that I don't think anybody should be
spending money on a ring that they don't have, because
to your point, it's like, why am I spending Why
am I going to go into debt and pay interest
on a ring that I can't afford so that to
keep up with the Jones what it is, so that
(15:58):
you can brag to your friends about how basically how
broke I am, you know what I mean? And then
and then and it's going to hold us. If it's
going to hold us back from paying bills or upgrading
our home or having a home or whatever, well, then
that it defeats the purpose, doesn't it.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I think so.
Speaker 9 (16:12):
I feel like these things, like, again, they don't matter
as much as we think they are. I mean, you're
entitled to want what you want. I'm not trying to
take that away from anybody, but I'm telling you, like,
these things are expensive and it's not worth it to
post on Instagram so that my little friend from high
school that I don't even talk to anymore can see
my ring.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I see this happen in real life all the time,
and I'm like, this is goofy, my hot take.
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Jason, Mike the Mechanic proposes with a mois and Nite ring.
Would you accept it?
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Is?
Speaker 2 (16:36):
What is?
Speaker 3 (16:37):
It's actually a diamond?
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Oh okay, it's like chemically a diamond, but it's not
like it's not a natural diamond.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
I don't care you can never tell those two. It
would take an onion ring. Get a ring, don't. I
don't care, I would not care, And imagine how stupid.
But you look, because now that he's broke, you're gonna
have to go ask somebody for money to pay for
your mortgage. But you know you out here begging for money,
but you got this big a ring on your.
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Finger that happens every day, every day.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well that's crazy, Lauren asked. The question is withholding lying?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I think so sometimes.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I mean, he knew what he was doing. He definitely
knew what he was easy.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
You give someone a ring that looks like a traditional
diamond ring, you're clearly passing it off for tradition.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
You're passing it off for being real.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
Because if you hand me an engagement ring that looks
like every other engagement ring that looks like a diamond,
I guess I'm assuming it's a diamond.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
But I guess I also don't know why it matters.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 8 (17:41):
I feel like it only matters to people who don't
have one, Like people with the rings don't never think
about like, you know, I want it's a ring real,
like who cares well?
Speaker 5 (17:49):
And the other thing is like many many years ago,
before lab grow and diamonds were a thing, it did.
If you had a huge monster diamond, it did mean
someone spent a ton of money. Now it doesn't necessarily
mean that anymore. Like a big honkerd diamond that's lab
grown in is a quarter of the price of you
know what I mean. So like like you can go
get you a j Lo ring, you know it looks
(18:11):
like that for a quarter of the price, which still
is expensive. You're still spending money on it, but it
doesn't necessarily know. Twenty years ago, if you had a
four carrot ring, somebody spent six figures on that. Now
if you have a four carret ring, it doesn't necessarily
mean that. So I guess I don't know why we're that.
I debate this all the time, Like if I actually
ever did get married, it would help to have a
girlfriend first, But if I did, like would I spend
all the money on a real Honker ring that I
(18:33):
always intended I would do? When someone else can go
spend a quarter or less of it and have the
same look for less money and everyone thinks it's the same.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Nobody would know, So that's.
Speaker 5 (18:43):
So I don't know I don't know what I would do,
because you could argue, well, if you go buy the
real thing, it holds its value and it's worth more.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Well who's you might not be selling it? Like why
you're only selling it if we get divorced. So I
don't know that. I want to help you in a divorce.
So I'm going to get you.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
A fake as ring, I guess because that way, if
you leave me, then you don't have as much money
and I can keep my money. I don't know, but
that used to be the thing, like if you had
a huge, huge ring, Oh man, that guy loves you.
That was he spent all his money on that. Well,
now it doesn't necessarily mean that.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
Because that still happening. Like do people show off their
rings Like I don't know, Like ytime, if I like,
if you had a Mois and Night ring, I wouldn't
be like, that's Mois and I, Like, I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Is not a lab grown diamond.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
That's what someone is.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
There's three different kinds lab grown.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
The regular sist Night I think is a whole different jem.
It's a whole different thing.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Gymstone although a lab created one, Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
But not a diamond.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Technically, I would want to know, and I don't also
want to know.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, I would want to know, and i'd also rather
have like an heirloom that's smaller than like a Mois
and Night ring. So I guess I'm a weirdo, but
I do feel like if I'm going to wear something
on me, I should know the.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Facts about it and what's going on with it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But I wouldn't want someone to overextend and spend money
they don't have.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
I guess I don't know how you do that, Like
someone texted, uh, you have a conversation ahead of time
about what's realistic. Because if I give you a ring again,
I'm not going to propose to you. You're so excited,
you're happy, Oh, it's so beautiful, and then go by
the way fake, No, I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
You feel me out before, like, hey, what do you
think of those mois and Night rings?
Speaker 1 (20:19):
If I'm like new, then you know, yeah, but don't
do it when you're on the dock on one knee,
you know, overlooking the ocean.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Do yeah, you're on a here do you picture it? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
My hater says, this is why Fred is single. What
what are you even talking about?
Speaker 5 (20:38):
This is this is a moron who has said for
the last year that they will never listen to us again,
and they text us every day.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Oh oh, she's trapped in the carpet.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Well, thank you for your patronage. Yeah, I appreciate that
you could put your fingers in your ears with something
tells me to people in the carpooloud appreciate it if
you weren't in the carpool anymore. Let's see that the
big stories of the day in two minutes. It's Fred Joe,
frend Joe, two things and Kiln just said it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And you're right.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Since when it being single will become a disc has
anyone ever considered maybe I choose this life.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's an odd flex to do someone about being single.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
And I think most people can get married if they
or be in a relationship if they must. Yes, I
think it seems unfathomable to some people that people choose
a life of me. I was just like, I just
it's so funny to me when people will be like, well,
that's that's why you're single, or this is why you're single.
I'm like, first of all, I know what I do
(21:37):
and I know that thirteen people hear this. On the
other side, I understand what I'm doing. But at the
same time, have you ever considered that maybe I like this,
and I really.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Like this, think the fourteen hundreds like, I don't understand.
I just don't get it.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And this was pretty good.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
Someone texted, I told my boyfriend that proposed to me
with a dog, and I'll buy the ring, like one hundred,
five hundred bucks whatever. I don't wear jewelry, so I
don't care for an expensive one. I'd rather have the
dog in the house.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
So I I love it. I love it too.
Speaker 5 (22:05):
You know, the dog hopefully will live forever, but they
typically don't, so there's that. But I mean, I think
it's still a sweet sentiment.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
That is so sweet. My gay cousin and his fiance
exchange really nice watches.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, that's sweet.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Sweet.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Yeah, you would take a Rolex any day or a ring, right?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
What what would you want, Jason, if if Mike did
propose to you, because I know you wouldn't wear like
a diamond ring.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
I like the I don't know what.
Speaker 6 (22:31):
They're made out of, but the black ones that are
just like the band, not the plastic ones. They're like
actual metal or like like black all the way around.
Like I like those.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
And this is a stupid question, but do you if
it's not like because I guess the tradition is a
diamond engagement ring. That's the that's the engagement and then
we get bands when we get married. So if he
proposes to you, does he give you the wedding band?
Aheaded like is that what he proposes with?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
You wear that? And then he gets swarm when you
get married?
Speaker 5 (22:57):
Like if you're not going to do the engagement ring
quote in Coote tradition, I guess I don't know how
that works.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
Yeah, I don't know about girl, I waited fifteen years
to get one ring. I'm trying it too, So I'm
gonna take this one ring, give me the first one
at the start, and we'll be good. I said anything else.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
To you guys before too.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
It's like my friends, they save up all this money
and they get these beautiful engagement rings and then then
there's the band, right, and then now I'm noticing people
like sometimes they sawder them together, but it's like, no,
I don't want to wear that huge ring all the time,
so I just wear the band I'm like, well, then,
why did I spend all that money on the other ring.
We could have just slipped right the right to the band,
the one you're gonna wear all the time, and that
(23:34):
we're good. My mom never full on wedding ring or
engagement ring. Rather, she wears a band. And I don't
even think it's a band she got at the wedding.
I think it's another one she wanted down the road.
So I guess what I mean is like, what can
we just skip the part where I have to buy
the big ass diamond and I'll just get you to
all the little ones in a circle, you know what
I'm saying. I get you that one, and everybody's happy
(23:55):
because we're never going to see the other one again anyway.
I don't think very many people wear their full on
engagement ring every day.
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Well I do, but yeah, yeah, my mom, and I
will hear you.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Well, that's why you're having some back problems, probably because
that thing weighs eight pounds.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Red Show is on Bride's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Fresh Chicago Bears fans some sad news this morning. Hall
of Famer Steve Mongo McMichael, a member of the dominant
Chicago Bears famed forty six defense of the eighties.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
He passed away at the age of sixty seven.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
He was diagnosed with als known as Luke Garrick's disease
in twenty twenty one, and his fight has been well documented.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
It's a terrible thing.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
He played one season for the Patriots, one with the
Green Bay Packers, and thirteen seasons in between with the Bears,
when he made his mark, including playing in a team
record one hundred and ninety one consecutive games. In total,
he played two hundred and seven games from eighty one
to ninety four. The defensive tackle won a Super Bowl,
of course, in eighty five, and was twice selected First

all the coverage. Yes, I know you're so excited about this.
The first round of course tonight seventh, Central, eight Eastern,

of different channels. Oh that's interesting. Well, okay, all right,
So who's going number one tonight? I would be curious,
you know, Brett, Brett, Brett is going number one. A
lot of people are talking about Brett. That's a hot
take though, because some people are saying Brett's gonna go too,
(25:43):
and you're saying, one.
Speaker 7 (25:44):
He's fresh out of University of Denver, and these people
this year, let me look at this. We got a
lot of like the quarterbacks have a lot of quarterbacking
names this year. Like sometimes I wonder, sometimes I wonder.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
If quarterbacks weren't born to be quarterbacks, Like when your
name is like John Powers quarterback, or like Steve Laser,
Like I don't the.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
NFL big predictions. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
It's like these guys like Brock Brock, like you're supposed
to be a quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
But I was reading this morning with these with these
people are I don't care who was drafted in nineteen
thirty six.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
I don't I'm sorry, I don't care. I'm not concerned
with it.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
I feel like I was there.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
I want to know who's going to get picked.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Cam Ward Oh yeah, actually he just he strikes me
as a that's a quarterback, cam mana is a hot
like quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Name, what are the quarterbacks do we have? I'm going
through the list here of the predicted picture.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I know you.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I think you wrote this. Actually yeah, yeah, it's your
article that I'm reading.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
I know you know everything there is to know, well,
Schador Sanders. I mean, it's not really a traditional sort
of quarterback.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He knew you know what I'm.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Talking about them like name like Rex, right, I.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Don't know it.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Every now and again you'll just just like, oh, that
guy I was born to be a football player, Like
that's a football player name. And now I can't come
up with any other examples on the fly, so they
just take my word for him. A fast moving wildfire
in Ocean City, New Jersey, has burned over twelve thousand acres,
now making it one of the state's largest in nearly
twenty years. A blaze known as the Jones Road wildfire
began on Tuesday and has quickly spread due to dry
(27:21):
conditions and strong winds. As of last night, the fire
was approximately fifty percent contained. Official step the fire will
continue to burn until substantial rainfall arrives, which is expected
later in the week. Five thousand residents have been evacuated
from Lacy and Ocean townships with the evacuation orders were
lifted later in the day, So if you know anybody
anywhere near there, check on them, make sure they're okay.
Pope Francis is now lying in state and the church
(27:43):
is going to extend hours to pay respects due to
the size of the crowds. His body was moved to
Saint Peter's yesterday where he will lie in state for
three days to allow the public to pay their respects.
The funeral scheduled for Saturday ten am local time, and
of course world leaders from all of the place will attend.
And then the conclave where one hundred and thirty five
(28:04):
cardinals who are eligible to vote, and the conclave will
select a new pope. And boy, there's a lot of
speculation about who he's going to be. I mean, we've
got we got the guy from MSNBC, you know, the
nerdy guy that does all the election stuff on the
We got him on the wall talking about the Pope.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Man.
Speaker 5 (28:20):
That dude is into this talking about odds, talking about
could be this guy, could be that guy I saw
a whole rundown last night. Well, this guy is more
of an administrative cardinal, and this guy's more of a
spiritual cardinal. And this guy he doesn't have any experience
running business of the church. But this guy's beloved for
his takes hot takes on the Bible or whatever. Yeah,
(28:43):
Jason Dart, by the way, that's a quarterback. Oh you
started selling John Gruden right now. That's a quarterback. Jason
Dart and Jason Dart. Yeah, you know Cam Newton.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
I don't know. Yeah, it's a quarterback.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Jason Brown.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Is it Jason or jack Jackson Dart? No, Jackson, that's
even better with an act yes, Julish.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
When he was born, his parents were like, this kid
is going to be you have to be good at something.
A name like Jackson with an X. You cannot be
a loser. No, If you're Jackson with an X with
the last name Dark and you're not doing something great,
we had a problem, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Me.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
On the other hand, I just had a generic ass name.
I had two first names, first and last I mean
I could have been anything and nobody would have cared.
And then I changed it all and made a fake name,
you know, a nickname, so really nobody cares. Passengers said
they were trapped in a driverless vehicle another one of
these wamo stories. Wham waimo I think it's An Austin
(29:41):
woman named Becky posted on TikTok after her Waimo robotaxi
locked her and her friends inside on an expressway on
Mopak in Austin, where two lanes merging traffic flies by.
I guess the thing got confused. They were told the
car couldn't be moved remotely. Even worse, they couldn't be
let out. It wasn't until you threatened to live stream
the whole thing. The door is finally unlocked then, and
(30:03):
as they walked away, the car randomly took off like
nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
That is so weird.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
They responded, saying that riders can exit any time by
pulling the handle twice, and insisted the car was around
a thirty mile per hour road with a sidewalk. This
isn't the first clips they've had with this thing. Are
we are we sure that these are Are we sure?
We should have these out there yet have we fully vetted?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
You know? Why do we have to be test pilots
as customers like? But I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Maybybe we'll let these things run around a little while
longer before you put people with them, because I'm just
we're just hearing things that are a little weird, like
them going in circles in the parking lot of you know,
strip malls and people can't get out and whatever else.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
But they have them in Arizona. I guess they have
them in Austin. So they don't have them everywhere yet.
But this is where we're going. You know, we're headed
in this direction where you're uber or whatever comes and
picks you up and there's nobody there.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
I'm gonna try next week. I'm going to Austin.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Are you're gonna get in one? One is there?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
I'm gonna get in it.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Yeah, you're afraid to leave your home and you're going
to get in a driverless vehicle there.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You don't like other people to drive, right, but you's
driving Okay.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I think I'd rather a Weamo than Paulina though, So
there's that.
Speaker 9 (31:11):
Don't know me, You're gonna regret saying that when you
get into that weimo and you're gonna be down the
street in a river.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
I would never drive us right into a river as
opposed to you. He just pulls out in front of cars.
That's it. So it's either wind up at a river
or die. Get you where you got to, Gomo.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
What is it called?
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Is that your version?
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Is that what you came up with that you forgot
to You were a trademarket, just like vevno weymo. I
believe it's waymo, it's weimo. Yes yeah. Nevada woman reported
a drone hovering right outside her bedroom window at three
point thirty in the morning. She says it felt like
high tech peeping because it was, and it's really really scary.
After sharing her story in a neighborhood watch group, others
(31:52):
chimed in with their own creepy droning counters, including one
neighbor who says a drone hovered over her backyard while
she was tanning. You know these things are being used
for stuff like that. Police say, if a drum flies
low over your property, it's a civil issue unless it's
tied to stalking, harassment or trespassing, then you can call
the cops. Drum Palace as supposed to follow FAA rules,
(32:12):
register the devices and stay above two hundred and fifty
feet over private property unless they're working jobs like real estate.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
And then these people don't care about that.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
And finally, in light of my recent interest and my
desire to make all of you interested in legos with
your grown up money, because I think it's very relaxing
for the most part, unless something doesn't come together properly,
and then you then it's very frustrating and angering and
completely defeats the purpose. But an Austine woman has set
the record for the largest Minions collection. The woman in
(32:43):
Australia has turned her love for the Minions into a
Guinness World Record. Her name is I don't know what
it is, Beneki. I don't know, but the E N
E c K. She fell in love with the Minions
immediately while watching the first Despicable Me film fifteen years ago.
Now she has as an over one thousand item collection.
She says, I'm just a big kid at heart, and
(33:04):
I have no problem with that. But imagine this woman.
I mean, you know, you meet her on a dating
app or whatever and You're like, hey, let's hang on.
You go to her house and she has a thousand
minions items. I mean, what do we think about that?
Speaker 4 (33:18):
I'm probably gonna head home. What I know, it's a
lot of clutter.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
We're giving her a fake ring, you know what? I yeah,
you don't get a real ring in your minions.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
The Entertainer Report after Chaperone in three minutes, Fred Show
Cawen's Entertainer Report.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Is on the Fread Show.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Are we still watching award shows?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I don't know, but Kendrick Lamar has been nominated for
ten awards at the American Music Awards, including Artists of
the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year,
which you had to know was coming. Post Malone follows
with eight, while Billie Eilish and Chapel Roan who we
just played, and Shaboozi have seven nods each. Taylor Swift,
who has the most AMA Awards in history, is also
up for six this year and first time nomine is
(34:00):
a really good class including Benson Boone, Doci, Gracie Abrams,
Jelly Roll, Lola Young who I Love the Marias Rose,
Teddy Swims, Tommy Richmond, Tyla Sabrina Carpenter, and Zach Bryan.
The show airs on CBS and Paramount Plus on May
twenty six, if you're into that sort of thing. Still,
speaking of Benson Boone, he has one small request for
(34:20):
his haters. The singer was venting on TikTok, telling internet strolls,
if you hate me or my music, at least have
a good reason for it. He wants some constructive criticism.
He said, I just read a comment that says, I
don't know why I hate Benson, but it just feels right,
Like what, how am I supposed to improve after reading that? Right?
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Exactly? He's not, but.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Then yeah he should, Yeah, he should be. He then
gave suggestions on things to hate on him for. So
here's some examples. If you want to hate on him,
you could write he low key just flips everywhere? Can
he do anything else? Or even like, I don't like
his songs, even though I'm basing my opinion off the
one song that I've heard over and over and over again,
which he says is super valid.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Suck good idea.
Speaker 5 (35:05):
Unless you were ripped off, or your safety was at risk,
or you were victimized in some criminal way. How about
if you think someone sucks, you just don't take the
time out of your day to grab the phone and
let them know, because it says more about you than
it does about them that Like it's like, Oh, you
suck so much that I took the time to figure
(35:26):
out how to get a hold of the place where
you work to tell you that you suck? Yep, Like
how did people at no point in the process of
doing that, whether it's a celebrity or it's here or whatever,
is at no point in that process.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Do you think I am such a loser for this?
Like you know, you know what I mean? Like, oh, yeah,
I know what I'm going to do today.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
I'm going to wake up and tell some unsuspecting people
who have nothing to do with me and didn't mean
to do anything to me how much I hate them.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Why?
Speaker 2 (35:52):
Like what does that accomplish?
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I always like to know, Like what were you looking
for out of out of this situation? Like did you
want to hurt me? Do you want to get into
it with me? Do you just want me to feel
bad about myself? Like what because all the options there's
not really a great one, you know, what are you
looking for?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Or do you just feel good? Saying mean stuf.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Well, and that's what I mean.
Speaker 5 (36:10):
Like, so you you're the kind of person that you
would like to put your name on on how much
someone else sucks publicly, and that somehow makes you feel
a certain kind of way, Like what does that say
about you? So my advice captain positivity in twenty twenty
five two. You can come in, you can keep hating
on me. It's fine, But I'm just saying, maybe think
about what it looks like when you do that to
Benson Boone or whomever else, Like what is it? What
(36:31):
are you actually accomplishing? Right?
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Who, by the way, is the nicest human.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
He's a very nice guy and he's like twenty two.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
He's a nice guy. He's really talented.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Leave him alone.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
It just this proves though that is just like it
doesn't matter, like people are going to be trolls just
because they want to be. When you're unhappy within yourself, yeah,
it radiates, It just comes out and take it out
on people the Internet.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
It's weird old behavior, but I just want.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
To encourage people not to do it like them. I
just is this is Fred talking to his haters, isn't it. No,
I'm talking to all haters. You can hate on me,
honestly part of the job. I get it. I just don't.
Speaker 5 (37:01):
I don't know what exactly it makes me feel sad
for other people, Like you go into comments of anyone
and someone will loose persons suck, not us, I mean
anywhere those person sucks, right, who sucks?
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Why didn't follow them right the post? And they're so sorry, Like,
