Check out all of the highlights from today's show!
Hmmm.
Like, for example, I just just because Paulina on our sheet for the day that we all contribute our ideas to what is your latest impulse purchase? Mine is a woman power suit for no reason? No, a woman power suit late as opposed to just a power suit that could be for a man, it could be for a woman. You win for this specifically female woman in power suit. Why why do we have a power suit?
Well, you know it is women's history months. So I was like, let me treat myself real quick to something new because I'm trying to like change my wardrobe around.
By that, I mean, I don't really know. I'm still like.
You know, a power suit to work.
I might you know about how you show up in life?
Right Like we're gonna turn our attitude around today for Jason, We're gonna have a great day.
And I might. I'm Taylor Loft. A new sponsor of this show? Is BB a new b bibet or whatever it's called. Is that a new sponsor of this show? And hey it's Paulina for White House, black Market or whatever that place is called.
I mean, honestly, like if I could be for real too, I bought that because you guys know that I love Adrian Bylone. I love her line lovoot it's vot vote, I can't pronounce it.
And she for some reason has power suits. And I was like, you know what, I'm gonna.
Support my girl this month for Women's History Month. And I bought it's burgundy. Though it is Burgundy, I don't home burgundy.
Okay, So you're in a new dressing era kind of'm I'm like a year postpartum, so I'm trying to like, see, you know.
What's what's my style? Wherever am I now?
As a mom?
A hot mom? Right, hot moms? Check in, tap in.
I feel like this is when I was, like when I was eight years old and I carried a briefcase too.
I have a Palm pilot with no Internet that I asked for for Christmas.
Like, what was I doing on my palm pilot business?
I mean, you were ahead of your time, on your game, You are keeping track of your contacts.
What you would do with a.
Yeah, for sure, I have a really busy schedule.
This is what this is what this sounds like.
So if you would, you know, maybe sometime next week or whenever, if you'd wear your your woman power suit to work.
We would all love it.
I absolutely will when you see me walking around with Fred's old briefcase a and my burgundy power suit.
Just mind your bustiness, Guys' sorry.
For these people here to take you. Seriously, don't get me.
Jason's got a hat on.
I'm wearing a hat.
You got a suitn't know.
We all make one professional human.
Right right?
The French Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
All right.
So the post Office wants you to know that it's going to take longer for you to get your stuff, now what, But it might also be more expensive. So big changes are coming to the US Postal Service and are going to slow down your delivery. Starting April first, the Postal Services rolling out new policies aimed at saving thirty six billion dollars over.
The next decade.
So most first class mail won't be affected by about eleven percent of customers could see delays by a few days. Plus, everiers shipping packages on Saturdays right before a holiday, you can expect an extra day for delivery. The USPS says the changes will improve service for rural areas and help tackle their financial struggles, but for some the trustees, snail mail might get even slower. So let's take antiquated technology and let's make it even worse.
And that'll that'll work.
That's like Southwest saying, let's take away the one thing everyone liked about us, which was free baths.
That'll certainly boost business. Yakiki, I better get my value pack though. That's all I'm looking for.
So you open that?
Yeah, the one. You're the one who opens the value pack.
You guys don't appreciate somebody took their time to put all those thin little ads in one envelope.
For our good.
The couponds you use them, No, but say you might. You might open it and win one hundred dollars or something.
Oh, I'm gonna say I or a free car wash. I dote a free car wash in there.
Oh, really, don't sleep on those. Don't sleep on some. I just can't believe somebody you sitting there putting all they're so thin, the little peger.
I wonder if someone steals mine. I never get one. Really, no value pad comes in my ouse. That's my favorite piece of mail. I remember when I was a kid, I wanted mail. I think this was around the same stage that I was carrying a briefcase to school for three or four days.
I really wanted like.
The mail to come, and I wanted something to be in there for me, and so my mom used to give me like the junk mail or whatever was you know, I don't know ads, stuff you say was for me and says you give it to me. And now I get all kinds of mail, and I don't want most of it because it's bills or ads or bills or you know whatever, some form of u OUs money or here's how you can spend money on something you don't want to, or they trick us. I've already complained about this, that they trick us with some kind of official looking piece of mail that you open and it's not official at all. It's an AD for something you tricked me. But then I start throwing stuff away that looks official, but I'm like, no, you're tricking me. But then I find out later there was a check edit or something. You're like, oh, I needed that one, But I don't. I resent the fact that people send mail to our homes that looks like you got to open it, but then you open it only to find out that it's like you know, I don't know the Official Insurance Institute of America with some abbreviation, and all that is is all it really is is an ad to get you to change your car insurance. And I'm like, well, it looked like this looking official to me that when it came from the from the White House or something and I opened it and now I find out that it has nothing to.
Do with anything. Yeah.
When they make it look like a check and you have to rip off the sides first and then rip off like the.
Top right, You're like, oh my god, my check.
And then it's like you know.
Or alone.
I know, I'm brief like, no, I don't need it, you can have.
That or whatever.
They make it look like there's a credit card in there, but there's not. It's just a little plastic thing. But then you can call and get ah, it's me crazy. The DNA genetic testing company twenty three in Me is filed for bankruptcy and booms. This is why I didn't do it, you guys, This is why I didn't do the twenty three in me that you gave me for Christmas seven years ago, because where is where is my DNA going? Well, we don't know because they're filing for bankruptcy and they're going to have to sell their assets to pay their creditors. If you're one of the over fifteen million people who have provided saliva samples to those guys, unless you take action, there is a risk that your genetic information could wind up elsewhere and potentially used in ways that you didn't want.
So here's what you have to do.
Yeah, if you have genetic data with twenty three in me, then you got to follow a bunch of steps to delete your account and personal information. You go your web site, You go to settings, You go to twenty three and meet data at the bottom of the page.
Click view.
You can download the data and then delete it and then also permanently deleted, and then you'll get a confirmation email from them saying that it happened. And then if you want them to destroy your twenty three and meat test samples, then you can go in there to preferences I guess, and then revoke permission for your genetic data to be used for research and then they get rid of it somehow.
But why am I upset about that?
Like, I don't care what they do with my DNA, and what are they going to do make another Kailin.
That's terrifying for the rest of the world. No one needs that.
It might okay, I don't. I don't know what they're gonna do with it.
You know, they already have the government already has our DNA. And I don't know if I trust them any more than I trust twenty three and meters.
No, I don't.
I know what I'm chilling like, I'm good, I'm glad.
I know that I was, you know, related to some Irish king eight hundred years ago.
Fine, I mean, if you want to look at my brain I was in history and see what kind of naughty videos I occasionally stumble on to you, than fine.
But I don't know.
I don't really necessarily think I need people nefarious people to have my DNA handy.
I don't know. It just doesn't sound craz you.
Don't need it anymore, you've got it, so.
Oh, I think it's still an important part of you know, like living and survival.
I don't know it's with AI and and yeah.
I don't up to Fred. I feel like I'm worried, like what are you doing?
I don't want people to have my DNA now, granted, on. You know, sometimes on the weekend I give it out liberally. Other than that, I don't you know that they don't know what's holding on to it. Okay, I think I don't know. For some reason, I don't want people to have my DNA. Let me, let me have it, let me all right. We've heard a lot of airplane stories that are that are frightening and dangerous, and this is one of them, except with a happy ending. A pilot on his two daughters are rescued this week after their plane crashed into an icy Alaska lake. So lots of layers of potential issues here, but the the Little Piper super Cruiser was on a sightseeeing tour over the Key Nine Peninsula. My friend Trevor is from the Key Nine Peninsula on Sunday when it went missing. Social media posts written by the pilot's father prompted about a dozen residents to launch aerial searches for the missing family. Twelve hours after the plane went down, one of the pilots flying over a lake spotted the partially submerged aircraft with the trios standing on top of the wing. Members of the Alaska Army National Guard rescued the family. They were taken to a hospital with non life threatening injuries. It was literally the best possible scenario and outcome, said the commander of the two hundred and seventh Aviation Regiment. But yeah, they crashed on ice. The plane went into the ice, and they still lived and somebody came found them. I mean, yeah, you know what, I want their DNA because those people are survivors.
Okay, And I feel like I would, I would give up.
I feel like I would get a little cold and be like, there's no there's no duncan around here, there's no McDonald's, there's no where's my mom, where's my brief? Where is Paulina in her power her woman power suit? And if I can't have any of that, then there's just nothing worth It's not worth living anymore. And then I would get eaten by a polar bear that I tried to reason with so and ask for directions. That's what happened to me in that situation. Nostalgia is one of the most powerful things on earth. I contend people's memories and their association with the past and with our childhoods, I think is more valuable than anything when it comes to music. When it comes to food, but a new study says that two and three Americans would pay extra to bring back their favorite retired products. Can you think of anything off the top of your heads and it's I don't know, maybe it's from recently, but probably from growing up that doesn't exist anymore, be it food or be it I don't know, cosmetic or whatever it is. Can you think or even a restaurant or a kind of food. Can you think of anything that you wish would come back from your childhood?
I mean the snack crab they play in my face every year, and like, where is the snack crap?
I'm upset, period one.
I mean anything else.
I was just like you have. I was going to make sure you got it all out.
I mean it was you know, well, they keep announcing like it's coming out, it's coming out every year they're playing in my face.
Was it really that good? Yes, it's chicken strip. I never had one totilla, No tortilla.
Chicken strip, lettuce, shredded cheese. Okay, that sounds good.
It was ranch.
Nobody sails it.
Not the same.
I tried the Burger King one, you know, respect to Burger King, but it just wasn't the same. You tried to make one at home, couldn't recreate it didn't hit the same.
They're just playing in my face. I'm tired.
Oh yeah, I want the sidekick phone back.
Yeah.
Then it's a little slide up the screen.
I want to I wanted it.
I want to be on my sidekick. Yeah.
I remember I sent three of them back because I didn't realize this. But after after ten, like ten messages or something out of it was ten or twenty or fifty or whatever it was, you had to delete the messages to get more. And so I would get to a where like I wasn't getting messages after like three days. Because I was very popular when I had a sidekick, obviously, because everybody who had a sidekick was wildly popular. And if you remember, it was the little phone that you like held in your hand like a little rectangle, and then you'd push with your ring or your pointer finger and the screen would flip around and then it turned into like a little computer looking thing, and and everybody, I don't remember if it was like Paris Hilton that had one, or somebody had one in the in the two thousands, and then it became the thing everyone had to have. But anyway, I'm like, this thing's a piece. I gotta keep going in there and wherever and be like this doesn't work. Look, I get kick at messages and then finally, after like the third one, I gave them back. They oh, you know you're supposed to delete your messages to get more. Oh no, I don't know.
I was very upset.
This is that's my sidekick memory is that I had to keep remembering to delete my text messages or otherwise my sidekick wouldn't sidekick.
I was upset. I was upset.
So I had to put on my woman power suit and I had to go in there and I had to I had to stand on business with them. Before was standing on business was four phone, which is what This is what you need to do, though, This is what you need to do, kayleb. You need to put your woman power suit on and march down there to the McDonald's headquarters and let them know what you need.
Maybe that's what I'm missing.
I mean, I've I've plied with them on social media, you know, I mean the comments I'm manifesting.
But maybe I need a woman power suit. I got you. I got one pretty cool.
Have you ever done something like that with a tech item, where like you insist it doesn't work and you're like mad about it, and you go in like this doesn't work, I want a new one, and then they show you something extremely basic that you were doing wrong.
Have you ever had that happen?
Yeah?
My iPod it was also Apple, and like the logo has like a little dash through the Apple, and I thought my screen was broken, like every time, and then I.
Realized, like, that's just how it appears.
Oh, that was just normal.
Yeah, it was just normal for my iPod.
I don't know if they don't even have the Apple logo anymore on this, but yeah, I thought my screen was broken and they were like, you're just an idiot.
I very rarely get uppity, very very rarely normally, Like if I'm getting bad service or something's broken, I'll just sort of like cower and leave because I never want to be that person. But I remember, for whatever reason, few years ago, I had to have a record player. I had to have one Will Records, well Jason went through his record era.
Yeah as well.
Yeah, but I wanted one of those, like like one of those the cool DJ turntables, the techniques. I wanted the twelve hundreds. I wanted the wheels of steel, you know, like I don't know why. And then so I found a place that in a random neighborhood. I swear this guy, if he's still open, then it's a miracle. But he repaired record players and VHS players and tube televisions. That was his business in twenty twenty one or whatever it was. I mean literally, you'd walk in and it was like one hundred thousand million tube televisions, like the big ass heavy TVs, and then he had a bunch of VHS players and like record players, and that's what this guy did. I think he also repaired vacuum cleaners.
I don't know.
Anyway, it looked like a front of a business to me. But anyway, so I go in there and I'm like, right, said I called him. I said I want this kind of record player. He's like, yeah, I'll find you one and i'll fix it up. And it was stupier expensive and you can come and get it. So I go down there and I get it and it was kind of hard to get to and paint in the butt to park and the whole thing. And I go in there and he's like, here it is and it looked really nice, and I bought it and I was so excited and I go home and I plug it in and I started to play a record and it doesn't work, and I'm like, what the heck? And so for like an hour, I'm looking at all the connections because you gotta plug this thing in.
It's not digital. I'm like, what is going on with this thing?
And I'm so mad, and so I called this guy and I'm just annoyed after like this three hour adventure to try and get my new record player. And I think I had my like Paul Abdual record right there ready to go, and I ordered it online. I was I had my Whitney Houston right there, like we were gonna jam out to Madonna's and Mac collection on LP. It was gonna be so exciting, and I had my power seat on everything. And the guy is like, well, did you try this? Did you try that? And then he goes, well did you take the plastic cover off of the needle on the record player? And I'm like, of course I did that. What do you think I am? Of course everyone knows to do that. That's not what the problem here is forget about it. And I hung up, and I went over to the record player, and sure enough, there was the plastic cover on the needle and I took it off and I record player worked fine. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to that man, but that was what it was. It was a little plastic thing on the end. It's like, huh, I'm in a radio. You know, you think I would know how to work the equipment, but then again, if you listen, then you know that I don't. And I should have called the guy back, and I didn't get mad at him, but I was just like, ah, this thing's busted. And it was you know, he was an expert and fixing record players, and I probably.
Should have called and apologized to him.
But that's what happens, I guess when I get all upity, and then it was my fault the whole time. It was like the pizza story from earlier in the week, where the guy delivered the pizza and it wasn't at my house. It was exactly where I told him to go, in the wrong state. Sorry about that. But if people want crystal PEPSI back, they want banana ness quick back. They want Atari, and they want Nintendo. Oh yes, Nintendo, I Nintendo. I don't know why they don't just make the consoles again. I guess they kind of do they. I mean, you can't get like an nes I, you know, per Se, but you can get those emulators that all those games or I've ever seen those ads on TikTok. It's like eighty seven gazillion games on this little thing, and then you can plug in your Nintendo controller and it acts just like it did when we were kids.
Yep.
But that's the only reason I want that is because that's the only caliber of game I could play. Like two buttons and a little joystick, that's it. Like you start adding buttons on the top and on the bottom, and I'm like squeezing triggers and all the No, if I need to push more than two things at once, then that's not the kind of game for me. But people want stuff from their past. Seventy three percent of people would keep buying from their favorite brands even if prices started soaring. They won high quality products, great experiences, and a history of trust. I guess people feel like there was more value back in the day than there is now and a story that I think a lot of people resonates with a lot of people. A woman says that her rescue dog ate five pair of skim underwear skims, leaving her with a thirteen thousand dollars vet bill. Now, Jason's not mad about the vet bill. He's mad about the wasted five pair of skims underwear, which were probably also thirteen thousand dollars exactly.
Those are not cheap.
But a terrier mixed rescue dog from a dog shelter was in this woman's home and after a couple of months, she came home and saw the pup lying on top of a dirty clothes pile. Oh, it wasn't even clean underwear, it was underwear.
It's a dog, so they love those.
Yeah.
Yeah, and her underwear was missing. Yeah that's gross, let me do that.
But she is.
I guess she had to have some kind of procedure. Oh, she had her intestines removed after an emergency visit to the vet and a thirteen thousand dollars bill.
Oh, they must be like the skinny thongs. You know what I mean to get wrapped up in the intestine.
I don't know. I wear the fatter thongs. That's yeah, not the skinny.
One race ones.
I wear the granny ones.
Granny Yeah, yeah, the granny thong.
Yeah, that's what I wear. It's actually more on at all. But she's doing Okay, this dog is good.
Like, is she going to pay for her skims because that's that's a crime.
Yeah, you better get a job. You better get you a power student, get to work.
Yeah, come on.
My sister has a Maine coon, which is like an eighty seven thousand pound bobcat that she adopted, you know, like I don't know. She went to the pounds and got this little kitten that turned out to be a forty pound cat.
His name is Adler. He's huge.
And she found out after like a year that he needed two brand new hips, both of like he didn't have it was either hip sockets or like the there's something wrong with the way that both of his hips were five thousand dollars a pop.
Yeah, you need pet insurance.
And do one, but it's not really nice not to do the other one. Or in this case, it wouldn't have been a good like they could have gotten away with one, but it was like, yeah, you should probably do both. So yeah, she gets a free cat. Basically that needed ten thousand dollars worth of surgery that she had to do and figure it out. But I feel like that's that's pet ownership, that's home ownership, that's that's having kids. That's pretty much anything that depends on you will at any given point maybe cost you a tremendous amount of money. As a surprise, it's epilepsia aware this day, so wear something purple in support. And it's Manatee Appreciation Day today as well. The Entertainment Report Kaitlin has it in three minutes after Rihanna will get to blogs waiting by the phone. He's knew what did somebody get ghosted? Games Show Wednesday, money was showed as Shelley, I'm out of breath.
Lots of stuff coming up. They talk better than talk about it.
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show, like we're writing in our diaries, except we said them aloud.
We call them blogs. Kiki, Yes, your blog.
Go all right, dear blog. This is a two parter. I think I'll start with this though. So yesterday I went to a funeral and you know, I don't know if I mean you guys have been to a funeral and they're always different. There's always different people doing different things, and it's just like when you're there, you're kind of watching the room and seeing what's going on. But this particular funeral that I went to was on TikTok so and I don't know. Yesday I was gonna see who died, Like, I'm so sorry. Why didn't know the person? Okay, yeah I went.
Because wait, but like who thought to make sure it was on TikTok.
I have no idea, but God bless them, because the thing about it is when you open these social media apps, you just never know where you're gonna end up. Like I opened the app with all the intention to like laugh, look at some baby content. They've been putting a lot of funny stuff out there. I ended up at somebody's funeral. When I tell you, the singing was top tier, Like shout out to the singers that were at the service, and then you know, the speakers did really well. But it just made me realize, like I appreciate people who put their life out there, like the content creators that let us into the weddings, to the funerals, to the baby showers. I am ready to attend. All I need you to do is semi a link. So I opened my app and I just know, like, this morning I woke up, I was in the middle of a divorce. Somebody was going through a divorce, and she was telling me she's breaking up, and I'm just here for all of it. So I just want to appreciate the people who share their lives.
Oh wait, you watched a funeral on TikTok that just showed up on your feed or whatever for a person that you've never met. And then you watch people speak about this person who you've never met. Yes, but you can assess they were good speeches, but you don't know the person that's it. Yes, And you spend an hour of your time watching this.
I did.
I was cooking a pizza in the air fright, and well, wait.
A minute, that's what I want to talk about. You cook a pizza in the air force. Oh, yes, girl, Yeah it's super crunchy. You can warm up pizza that way too. Yeah, I've done that the funeral.
So you were like, I know, I just can't imagine like driving by a church or something and being like, oh, look at funeral. Let me pop in, see what's going on, and then you know, and then and then I just sit there and who I mean, I just can't imagine because there wouldn't be any contexts and I don't know the person.
Yeah, that's the thing. That's the beauty. That's the beauty in social media. You don't know these people, but you end up in the situation. I've attended weddings on social media. I you know, like I said, woke up in a divorce this morning. That was crazy, And it's just you just never know where it will take you. And I know Jason likes to watch live like.
Those are scary if you go into the wrong ones.
So yeah, you end up in somebody's bedroom, and how did I get here?
Like I want to do it so like I want to be a life creator where I'm just live and I love because they like will take me to the store and they're like take up the phone and like now we're going shopping, Like now we're going here and there.
Like I'm like, this is so fun, journey man, and I love it. I love it, so shout out to them and I'm sorry for their loss, but wow, I was entertained. My other My other thing is you know, and I don't want to be I don't want to be this person. But you guys have heard my complaint about the gas station. Where you go you try to pump your gas, it's going to ask you you want a car wash? Would you like life insurance? Would you like to get new bumpers?
You know, there's Maria Man talking about the news.
Why shall we screaming at me?
I don't know?
Trade down like movies? You know what I'm going? What is going on?
Stopping for free? You play yogurt and I'm like, why are you yelling at me? Yeah?
I am What on earth? Let me just pump this gas? But now I.
Would love why I would love to hear you're connecting a TikTok funeral.
At gas station?
Me too?
Well?
Ump, but okaya hanging there?
So then after the gas station questions, my issue now is drive through questions. You go to the drive through, you place your order, very detailed order I give. Okay, I understand. You asked me, would you like a cookie?
You know?
No?
I didn't. I don't want to.
Where are we?
Okay? Everywhere they always got a cookie?
Cookie? Cookie?
Ever? Off? Where are you? Where are you driving?
Donald Key?
Everybody one.
Maybe they got cookies. Okay, go ahead, offer your cookie.
I'm like, okay, No buddy has help, no one ever drive through, no one has ever. No one's ever said to me, kiki, uh, that'll be nineteen ninety four. Please pull forward, by the way, Would you like a cookie? What would you like? Would you like to cookie with your order?
Well, consider yourself lucky. Okay, Because it starts with the cookie, then it goes to would you like to donate? Yes, First they say would you like to donate? And they give you the calls okay, and then you I say, no, I'm tired, you do. I am tired, Jason. I donate enough on my own. I don't need to do it with the cookie or.
So.
Then they say, would you like pol would you like to round up? Bro? Like I would actually just like to get this order? Tell me you know, I would like to move on. And so I feel like as somebody who used to work in a drive through, and yes, they gave us questions and prompts to add, I would take it upon myself to select one. Like I'm going to ask this person would they like a cookie? The next Person'm gonna ask them when they like to donate. Okay, I don't like that. Don't hit me with seven different questions after my going in a rotation.
Yeah, you forgot the app one?
Are you going to get your answer? That your Yeah?
I get that one right, Yeah, I don't understand that question. I'm in the drive I'm talking to you right now.
I'm using my.
Yeah up in the drive through. If I did that, we would tell you then.
I don't need to talk to you. I don't need to tell you what I want, okay, but hold on. More important, and what concerns me more is how is a TikTok funeral and grabbing up at the drive through connected?
Because this one up for me?
If I had to donated to the diabetes for maybe the lady would have died. That's the connection. Oh my god, did.
You really brought that together?
There you go?
Do you have what it takes to battle?
You're definitely gonna be Calledina saddle? Not today.
Yes's time to sing your song if you would so gloriously and make all of our days please go.
I'm not here for the bys today. Don't come for my friends over again, because that's a clean wind. Kick He got this, and guess what i'maa do the same thing.
Hey, hey, hey, my good.
You know we didn't run this through the writer's room to make sure all these.
Are right, so I also wrote these.
So come at me, bro, you know what can Here we go, Here she goes again, here we go.
All right, you know what, I'll tell you what. I will say this. Some of the people were right about that one. I guess we're just so used to having people be so inflammatory in the last couple of months that it's like every time someone says anything, I'm just I'm ready to just jump because it's like ninety five percent of the complaints we get I have no control over whatsoever.
Well, yeah, and this was, but this one we did, so you know what, you are correct, you're.
Correct, Thank you.
And also the one who is talking spit on block us so we can respond, Like you can't say stuff to us and we can't talk to you.
We retracted the same in but a person who's still texting us, I'm like this block to us. But you know what's funny about our text platform is that you can block us, but we can't.
Like, yeah, I know, we just have to take it. We just can't respond. And for all the people who are like don't read the text. It's like, well, because ninety nine percent of them are really helpful to our show. And like a lot of people now they text before they call. And so that's why I look at this stuff, and you know, I will, man, I'm very sensitive, and I do I am in the comments.

It's a guy on on TikTok. And I don't know what I see him on TikTok. I'm not sure he more than that. But he's like a former college basketball player and he's an incredible like jumpshooter. The guy can hit like baskets from all over the place and people claim that it's cgi or fake or whatever, and that's his whole gimmick is like people put in the comments, but you can't throw a gummy bear into a water bottle. And then he'll do it from like, you know, a mile away, and everyone's like, oh, that's fake, and so his whole his whole gimmick is and I need to get the clips so I can play it, like y'all need to leave me alone. It has because I do. I read all the comments. I'm guilty. I read all the comments, I read all the texts, I read all the emails.
I do. I do, and and you're right, I am.
I can be very sensitive because I take a lot of pride in what we do here, and I don't like it when people assertain things or say things online that are lies. But anyway, it's okay.

I'm well, thank you?
How about yourself?
Do it?
Okay? What's going on with his dude named Will?
We got to hear kind of everything how you met, about any dates you've been on, and then where things are now.
So we met on a dating app, and I'm really just trying to figure out what's going on because we had a great date, like I would have absolutely put the money on having it, like having a second date, but for some reason he hasn't texted me back, and we had drinks, we had some appetizers, and it went down here perfect. So just trying to figure out what happened here.
Yeah, you go back and think about the conversation, and you know, no weird topics or anything controversial. You didn't like the guy's testla on fire like anything like that.
No, Yeah, nothing weird and unusual like that.
Okay, because I'm trying to protect you from yourself here right now, which is what I do I try and do in Part one of Waiting by the Phone, and no one has yet to be completely honest with me about their proclivities. So honestly, like you went on this date, everything went great. You left the day, You're like, this guy's good looking. I love the conversation. We're definitely gonna hang out again. He's gonna call me, We're gonna go out like there was just no doubt in your mind about.
This for sure, exactly.
Huh okay, all right, well, let's call this guy and we're gonna play a song and come back and do that. You'll be on the phone at some point. You're welcome to jump in after we get some info. And the hope here is that we can figure out why he's not texting you or calling you and asking you out, and then we'll set you guys up on a second date that we pay for. Sound good, all right, Let's find out what's going on Part two of Waiting Met the Phone. After Joja cat back in two minutes, all shall be revealed. It's the Fred Show. Joseah Catty is the Fred Show on the radio and the iHeart app live and anytime search for the Fred Show on to man, make us preset too, if you would. Hey, Jennifer, Yeah, all right, I was called will you guys met on one of the apps, and he went out for drinks and some appetizers, and you had a great time. You thought the date, in your words, was damn near perfect, and you were sure that you'd see this guy again, that he would call you and ask you out for another date. Except he hasn't done that, and he also hasn't responded to you at all when you've reached out to him. Well, let's call this guy now. Good luck, Jennifer.
Good morning is Will? Oh that was fancy? Hi? Will? How you doing?
My name is good morning. This is Fred. I'm calling from the morning radio show, The Fred's Show. The whole crew is here, and I do have to tell you that we are on the radio right now. Is it cool if we chill it for just a second on the show. Would you mind?
No? I don't mind at all.
I feel bad because you thought this was a work call. You're all fancy and then right right, yeah, well nobody ever does. But we're calling on behalf of a woman who says she recently went on a date with you.
Her name is Jennifer. Do you remember Jennifer.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
I am absolutely not kidding you. But why would you say that? Because I'll tell you that she reached out to us and said that she thought that your date was, in her words, damn near perfect, and she was certain that she would see you again for another date. But says you haven't reached out and haven't responded to her either, So what's the deal.
I mean, it's pretty straightforward. She's a degenerate gambler.
You guys, a degenerate gambler. Okay, well, what is that to describe? How you know that?
I mean, I'll bring you back to the beginning. I mean, we met on a dating app which I don't want to say the name of. We asked you know, I asked her out for some drinks and we went out and it was going fine until she pulled her phone out and literally was gambling the entire date.
All right, did you go out with Kaylin from our show?
No?
It sounds like most of my experiences with her lately, so it wasn't her, right, right?
What a fine what a fine wife? You would be?
So okay, So she's pulling her phone out and she's and she's obsessed with her gambling app while she should be conversing with you. That's your problem.
Yeah, she kept telling me we needed to hit in order to win our parlay. I don't even really know what that means. I've never cambled before.
I see. Oh, well that was nice to include you. You know her process. Now would you have gotten some of the winnings if the parlay had hit?
I don't know. I couldn't even get her attention enough to know that.
Okay, now I didn't I have to ask, like, are you being dramatic or was the date really focused on her and her gambling and winning.
I mean she never stared at me at any point of the date. It was either at the phone or at the TVs. And I mean, I can understand if you're betting on basketball or football, but I mean she was betting on these crazy sports like ping pong, bowling, anything that she could find at the bar. It was super weird.
Ping pong, table tennis. For the professionals, Uh, so be it. But bowling, I mean, of course you can, you can bet on anything but bowling. I mean you'd have to know something about bowling.
To bet on.
That, wouldn't you. I wouldn't even know who'd bet on. Let me, let me bring Jennifer in. I forgot to mention that Jennifer is here. I'm very forgetful. Jennifer.
What, oh God?
Why why are we not focused on our date? On our date?
I mean, I can see why this guy thinks that you're you maybe have a problem.
You should call a number.
I mean, I thought it was I thought we were having fun. I think he's being way too uptight. I was trying to involve him and make it fun for both of us.
But ping pong and bowling. I mean, so you'll there's really nothing outside of the scope of what you'll bet on.
I mean, just because it's not common doesn't mean there's not anything in it. I mean, I don't think that seriously.
I'm just trying to make rent this month.
But it's not that serious to me.
Yeah, it's not a big deal, just trying to make rent so you have a place to live. I would say that's that's maybe a little bit more. You're you're relying on, relying on a little bit more than just entertainment.
I mean, I wouldn't say that it's just you know, here and there.
It kind of fills the gap between employment.
So this this guy takes you on a date and instead you're staring at your app and you're staring at the TV, and you're trying to figure out, you know, how to get an edge on women's javelin.
Uh.
And I guess I can see why it would be annoying. I mean that that's your that's your issue, right, Will is like, we're on a date, and not only are you not paying attention to me, but obviously you're like you have to win this in order to survive kind of stuff.
I mean, I think it was way out of hand and I could definitely never trust her with money related stuff, especially for rent.
Uh huh, Well, yeah, I have your money and you shall gamble it on uh you know, World Chase tag or something which you can watch on ideas, right, right, No.
I mean, I mean I don't want to come across as rude, but I'd honestly go as far to say at this point that she's nuts.
Oh oh okay, yeah, but maybe take a break for the date.
I could have done that, but I mean I just thought he was enjoying himself too, so I figured why not involve him.
Yeah, it turns out he wasn't.
But okay, so look I'll ask the question, will you know Jennifer did want to see you again, she did think it was a good date. If she doesn't gamble during the date itself, would you consider going out with her again? If she doesn't ask you to borrow money or for any kind of a loan, would you go out with her again?
I don't know. I got to be honest with you. This is just this whole experience is in a bit too much. I'm now on radio trying to defend myself, so probably not.
Yeah, smart, you don't have to defend yourself. You know, you're just telling your side of the story. But all right, look, Jennifer, it's not going to work out. Well, thank you for answering. I wish you the best, Jennifer. Good luck. And there is a phone number and a website if you need it.
Oh, come on.
Now, all right, I'll take note.
Thank you.
Fred Show is on Fred's Fun Fact so much, Let's learn so much.
So, guys, when you think of the caesar salad, do you think of Italian food?
Do you think of Italy?
I feel like, yeah, because it's always offered at an Italian spot.
I think of Heaven, yeah right, right, which could yeah exactly well, it feels like something that would have been inspired by Julius Caesar in Rome. But actually it was invented by an Italian American restaurant tour in Mexico named Caesar Cardini in Tijuana. Actually, according to Food and Wine, he moved to the city, which is close to the California border, to escape the confines of prohibition, and he developed the caesar salad during the Fourth of July rush in nineteen twenty four with the only ingredients he had left.
Wow, so the guy was like a little.
Bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of this for calling this thing this Caesar salad.
After your boy, right, sa salad?
Right?
Nobody ever says this our salad. And if you said that, if you went to this place and he said, I'll have a cisar salad, they would say, are you Fred from the Fred Show who makes everything sounds fans fancier than it needs to be, And you say, no, I'm not. I listened to the fun fact though, that I happen to know that it was invented in Mexico, so there, but it was by an Italian American man named Caesar Cardini in Mexico. That's where the Caesar salad was invented. Are you are you? Are you blown away?
Kiki?
Yes, that's a life lesson. That man made something out of nothing. That's right, and look at it, it's still around.
Did you making a positive message out of this? What we do every day makes something out of nothing and was still around. It's like the old Cesar salad.
