the request from me to comment it was unbelievable. I mean,

(00:44):
people just they they they had to know what I
thought about this Coldplay kiss cam situation. They had to know.
So I released a video, not really album, released the video.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Gay loading a big announcement later, No you.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Know, I did, I did? I did, and then I
walked the runway. So you could see my shorts and
T shirt outfit this morning, because that's imperative to do.
I wanted you to see what I was doing. No,
I some of these videos I can with it, but anyway,
I issued one last night and as you can go
see it if you want to. It's uh Fred so
I am. I am Fred Show Radio on TikTok. I

(01:20):
don't even know what it is. I grabbed because I
was afraid because this we're being copied so readily. Somebody
might even grab our TikTok and try and do that.
But the Fred Show TikTok is the official Fred Show TikTok.
And if you're being contacted by any other accounts claiming
to be me asking if you're a fan of mine
and then for twenty five dollars for a sandwich, that
is me. That actually is me. I wanted a sandwich

(01:42):
and I want you to pay for it. You guys,
if you haven't heard about this, I don't know how
you couldn't have. But there's video of a tex ceo
apparently being caught with an employee on a kiss cam
and a Coldplay concert and it's gone viral. So I
have not seen this I've been to Coldplay shows before,
but I have not seen this, this little gar but
apparently the Chris Martin sits up there with his guitar

(02:04):
and they show different people on the camera like an
athletic event, you know, like a sporting event where they
would have the kiss cam. Oh look, you're the camera
kiss and then I guess he strums along and kind
of I don't know, says little commentary to each of
the things. So they're you know this person, that person that.
So I finally get to these people. It's a dude,
gray haired dude, and he's like kind of holding on
to a woman in front of him, like hugging her

(02:25):
from behind. Okay, and music of the Sphear's tour is what.
This was a Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday, and
it happened during a regular segment of the show in
which roving cameras find couples in the crowd as they
kiss and they showed on the big screens. In this case,
the camera pan to Andy Byron, the CEO of the
Tech Platform Astronomer, who had his arms wrapped around a

(02:48):
woman who is reportedly a woman named Kristin Cabot, who
is in fact not his wife, and she is in
fact and he is in fact not her husband. And
even better, in a surprise twist, he is the CEO
of the company and she is the director of hr HR,
or as I like to call it, the CPO, the

(03:08):
Chief people Officer HR. Oh h. I saw that in
your video. I was like, cool, yeah, yeah, oh, that's
a little clever way of you, the CPO. Yeah whatever,
the person fires you. So as soon as the two
saw themselves on the screens, and Camel made an excellent
point just a second ago, But as soon as they
saw themselves into screens, they quickly let go of one

(03:29):
another and then dove out of the shot or dived,
which I think is actually the proper I think's supposed
to say dive, which does not sound right.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
That does not sound right.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
But I would you look that up for me English major,
because you know, if you would.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Once I'm crouded down one of them turned around.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Because I've always thought that one was kind of weird.
If you're allowed to say dived, if you're loud, if
it's permitted, you can say whatever in the English language.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Well, if you like to know, dove is more commonly
used in American English, but dived would be more British English.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh well, I'm a British English guy, so good.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
You did go to school there.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
I did for sometimes, so that's where it comes from.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Don't know, you have a slight acting.

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Deep deep in there. So Cala made a great point
if they hadn't acted that way. Now, granted, this was
I think where they lived and worked, so and it
was big and it's very clear who it was on
the screen. But if maybe they had just played it off,
like just just continued on and not reacted in the
way that they did, hiding from the cameras and freaking

(04:25):
out and the whole thing, then maybe nobody would be
talking about this. Or you could have said, hey, did
I see last night? Were at the cold Play show?
Was that our CEO? Whatever's Andy and Kristen like a
you know, canoodling? And then you could have been like, no,
I don't know. I couldn't have been. They're both married,
and there's no way to CEO would screw the HR director,

(04:46):
you know the way.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
That's possible hands.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
I mean, even if people that knew them saw them,
the rest of the world wouldn't see them and be
talking about it right now, like now you're real in trouble.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
That but they totally freaked out. It was a whole thing.
And then apparently the other there was another girl in
the shot. She apparently works for the HR director, So
to talk about that, So here's a woman who's watching
the CEO and the HR director you know, canoodle and
knows they're having an affair allegedly. And then this woman
works for both of them and she's at the concert.

(05:17):
But I mean, it's pretty bold. I would say to
go to a concert and be acting like that if
you're married each of you. So part of me is like,
does do these do the partners know about it? I
always ask that question because it's like you were acting
awfully comfortable in public. That's a good point. Now you
didn't know you were going to be on camera.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
But still they up in a box though.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, but I'm not sure that I would act that
way in my hometown. I'm assuming that's where they live.
I don't know that that's where they live. I wouldn't cheat,
I'm not a cheater. I would just I would ghost
and then I know I wouldn't. I would break up
with you and then I would cheat. No, but I'm
not a cheater of well, I don't understand cheating.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, it's it's weird o behavior.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I don't understand cheating. I really don't get it either.
I don't and I don't want to be part of it.
You know. It's like you either want to be in
a relationship with someone or you don't. And when you
tell me that you're not, I believe you. And you know,
sadly that's not always worked out well for me. But
these things happened. I also don't go to a concent
well maybe, but anyway, so no cameras, So no cameras
when I'm canodling.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Okay, if this was you at the if you were
cheating at the Janet contentt remember how you.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
Were directly under that light. Yeah, Ja said I could
spot you from Yeah, thank goodness.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
On their side of this, man, we could just so happen.
There was a light shining just on me at the
Janet Jackson show. It's like a bright show. Was like
a white shirt or something that was like glistening. It
was like an angel. They just like, I was very
excited to be there, and I asked them to properly
like me.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
We have a full viewer.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I love shit, and I wanted to be Janet Lit
and me Lit. And the folks in Live Nation were
kind and they were able to make that happen for me. Well,
my choreography was on boys, you hit every move. Yeah, no,
I mean kidding me. He was like, and they went
with someone who didn't know three quarters of the songs,
and I was ashamed. I was ashamed. I was ashamed.

(07:04):
I mean this person was younger than me, but not
by a lot, and I was ashamed, Like, I mean,
you guys are young. She was your age and you
were no every Janet song really anyway, So what do
we think about this? I mean, what is there to say.
There's no way, there's no way that these two don't
get fired. I heard that she was supposedly wiped off
the website already. Now that's gonna be something if he

(07:25):
throws her under the bus. But you cannot be the
CEO of a company and sleep with the director of
HR or publicly be in a relationship. You cannot do
that and get away with it. The board of this company,
which by the way, is called Astronomer. It's worth more
than a billion dollars he's been the CEO for two years.
She joined nine months ago as the chief people officer.

(07:47):
There's just no way they have to fire them both
because again, like I said last night in my release,
in my statement about this issue, it's just going to
be a free for all in the office if they don't.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
The coworker wanted people to note too, that's why she
stayed like smiling, Like I think that she was like
ready for them to be exposed to think of.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Her life, Like she's like, I don't want to go
against my boss when I'm holding in the secret. Like
that's a really I guess you could say like she
knew and she's trading that, like she's in this circle,
but she also is complicit because she knows they're cheating.
You can also argue, and I've had a friend in
this situation before, the boss is cheating and like I

(08:26):
I have to go along with it because if I don't,
then I get fired. But you don't have to go
to the cold place show with them, you know what
I mean. You don't have to that with a choice.
You don't have to socialize with the.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Period probably be forced to show.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
No one's forced to go to we go to things
we don't want to go to all the time.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
That's true.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
It depends on who asks you, right, Like the CEO
was like I got a box like that, and they
bring people like her along along so that it doesn't
look suspicious, like oh, I took the team out, like
no y'all banging, but I was there.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
But yeah, they make the people. I mean, there's just
no way around this, Like they're going to get fired and.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Lose their families.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I guess, so I guess the wife last night she
removed her last name from her Facebook. Now that I
don't know that that necessarily means that she's leaving him.
I think that means she doesn't want to be found
or that was the attempt. I mean, if you're going
to divorce someone who cares what your Facebook says, you
just get the money. You get the money. I hope
she gets some. Well. Now here's another thing is I
was talking to a friend of my last night who

(09:26):
is lead general counsel for a very very big company,
and I said, how would you advise the board on
this if your general counsel for this company. Let's just
say she's not but let's say you work for astronomer,
and the board comes to you and says, what do
we do? She's like, they're both gone, and more than
likely in their contracts is some form of behavioral or
morality clause that would then avoid the stock options for

(09:48):
this behavior. So this dude, may it's possible. And I
don't know this. I don't know what their contracts say,
but it's very possible. This whole thing is going to
not only cost them their families, but a ton of money.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
Why here's the ceo though, the board, the board of directors.
Oh they hired Okay, that's what you're talking about. I
didn't understand that.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
I didn't know. He doesn't own the thing. He's the CEO.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
I mean he may have helped found it, but there's
a board of directors that would oversee him, that would
hire him, And so they're probably meeting going we don't
need any of this.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yep, I'm too poor.

Speaker 4 (10:18):
Like he just he did his biggest one. He called
it out right in the moment, like he really did.
He was like, oh, y'all must be really shy.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Oh you cheating.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
On it? He knew.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
I think he was joking.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
And then he was like oh no, this is real true, yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
And then one more thing that we were discussing off
the year before the show started is that there was
a statement issued or there was a statement floating around
last night and that everybody was quoting as as him responding,
and it does not appear to be a real statement.
So I first saw it in the afternoon. I read it.
I was like, this guy is bold because in the statement,

(10:57):
it starts out okay, like, hey is a private matter,
I'm a shandon my behavior. All that looks right, and
then at the end he was like, but basically it's
Coldplay's fault because that was a private moment. And then
he quotes a cold Play lyric at the bottom of
the statement and something that it is not a real state.
I do not believe that's a real statement. I've looked
everywhere for the for a like official statement for these

(11:19):
I don't think that's real. So people are up in
arms because it does appear in this fake statement like
he's blaming the band for his infidelity. But I don't
believe that's real. So and we've checked all of our sources.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, I mean shout out to TMZ.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Yeah, So, like I don't think that's that's not real.
So people were like, oh, I can't believe this guy
that you know he's doubling down. Well, I don't know.
I mean, I'm not saying he's a great guy. I
don't I don't know Andy, I believe was his name?
What was his name, Angie, Andy Byron. I don't know
Andy or Kristen very well, but I don't believe that's
a real statement. So crazy. I don't know how you recover.

(11:56):
I don't know what you do. She's not even cute.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Sorry, that's what we would say if we were a
friend of the wife, to make her feel better.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
That's true. Love. They never are sometimes doesn't see what
would they say at Hallmarkers? Love doesn't always see clearly.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I guess someone said this is scandal all for middle
aged people.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Who had more gray hair, though him or her I
couldn't tell. I was just saying
