Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh is on the biggest stories of the day. I mean,
you know, it's getting out of hand, you guys, it's
really getting out of hand. I will say, uh, you
guys arerofully quiet about the the the wish for Bob
to come back. I text that actually speak she said,
I'm tired. It's funny. Bob just texted me and he said,
(00:23):
ha ha, it was him. That was him. He's loving
every minute of this. Good morning everyone. We're doing our
best over here. But think twice before you get text
some stupid stuff. I'll put it that way. So the
oscars for the last time. I'm sure Kaylin has more
on that. But despite over five hundred movies released in
twenty twenty four, the average American only watched three of
(00:44):
those five hundred movies. Jason hasn't watched three movies of
the last five thousand movies that came out. Literally not well.
The only movie I saw that I think was nominated
was Wicked. That was that. I don't even know what
other movies are about. Yeah, no, but half of people
haven't seen any of the ten Best Picture OSCAR nominees,
none of them. Yeah, I was yea, though I have
(01:06):
to look to it today because I always feel that way.
I felt that way for a long time about the
Oscars that I don't I see that you know, the nominees,
and I'm like, you know, I'm not sure if I
need to watch this because I don't know what I'm
looking at.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
No, to me, more one looks good the substance I
heard that's really good on my list, so on my
list last night of like, oh, like what should me
and my husband watch because we want to watch new stuff.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So the Oscars is the perfect place to.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
See a whole list and just gather like, oh, we
should see that, Like Amelia Perez, I want to see
that one too.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I haven't watched it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Ooh, Conan's joke right at the actress, the lead actress,
that was wild.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Some of the jokes are yeah, yeah, did he get political?
Because I didn't get to watch a whole lot of
it last night, But that was one of the reasons
that we learned on Friday, or that we had read
that they picked him because they didn't think he would
get too political, which of course everyone's so sensitive about
right now.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, I feel like from what I saw, I had
to tune out because it was really boring, but from
what I saw, he didn't. But he definitely talked directly
that actress who had those old tweets about George Floyd,
and it just made me like it was I mean,
it was uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
She was sitting right there and he was talking right
at her.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But yeah, I'll talk more about it, I guess whatever
there is to talk about.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Well, we have a huge problem too this morning because
Hulu had technical issues which ended the OSCARS live stream
just before the Best Picture announcement. I mean, how could you?
Right before? How could you? I was tuned into Hulu.
I was ready to watch it, and then I wasn't
able to and then just outrage. I mean I haven't
(02:33):
been this mad since I couldn't watch the Mike Tyson fite.
I was very upset. But anyway, they apologize for the experience.
It will make a full replay of the event available
as soon as possible, which does you no good because
now we already know what happened, so you ruined it
for me, man the whole thing. South Carolina is dealing
with over one hundred and seventy five wildfires that have
(02:54):
consumed approximately forty two hundred acres across various counties, including
Spartanburg Union Pickens County, Ian response to the fires, the
governor there has declared the state of emergency to bolster
firefighting efforts and ensure the safety of the affected communities.
They have prompted mandatory evacuations in several regions the Carolina
(03:15):
Forest near Myrtle Beach, where a significant blaze has threatened
numerous homes. Dry windy conditions have made the situation worse,
making containment efforts challenging for firefighters. And uncrewed spacecraft called
the Blue Ghost has successfully landed on the Moon on Sunday,
making Texas based Firefly Aerospace only the second private sector
(03:37):
company ever to complete such a feat. The lunar Lander
touchdown on the Moon's surface about three thirty am Eastern,
and it captured stunning footage during its descent, which was
way more exciting than the oscars. Way more exciting, but
I guess it's part of a privately owned fleet helping
NASA in its aim to return astronauts to the Moon
(03:57):
later this decade. More space, because we love space. Seven
planets are expected to be seen in the Earth's night
sky on Friday, so Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Sat and
Uranus and Neptune will all be visible from Earth with
the naked eye. Experts said, however, you would need a
good telescope to get a good look at the so
(04:18):
called planetary parade is what they're calling it. There's a
webcast hosted by the Virtual Telescope Project, which, okay, that
will helps skywatchers and the curious find their favorite planets
in the sky, So you can go watch that if
you want to. The alignment happens when the planets orbit
the Sun on a relatively flat disc shaped plane. While
(04:40):
the lineup is not unusual, it's rare for all seven
planets to line up at once and won't happen again
until twenty forty. That's exciting, it is. But where is
Butcher and Sanita doing? Well, that's true, you're right, they're
still on the space station. And you know, we've sent
several people have been up to the space station, gone home,
(05:00):
We've sent people, we've sent like spacecrafts to the Moon
and back, right, but we have not pulled through to
get Butcher and Sunita, who have been up there for
like seven months now. You're a very good point this
is crazy. I thought they were. I thought Elon was
supposed to go get him right away. He's too busy
firing people, I guess. I guess I don't know. The
Skype era is over for this is terrible news if
(05:21):
those of you, any of you have been using Skype
and you love it, and you're like, what am I
going to do? I guess Microsoft is trying to move
everybody over to teams. So Skype users can move your
accountse to the team's app, where the tech Giant notes
that they can use many of the same features. So, yeah,
Skype is over. We're not doing that anymore. We're moving
over to teams. I guess. TikTokers, here's here's the latest
(05:43):
thing today. I feel like every day it's which thing
from TikTok? Do we not need to do that everybody
is doing? And this is the one that you may
have seen. Have you heard of this airport theory? No? Okay,
So there's a series of tiktoks about airport theory, which
says that basically you can get through security in fifteen
minutes consistently on average fifteen minutes, and so the people
(06:06):
who show up two hours early to the airport are
crazy because it will never take that long, and so
people are trying to prove or disprove this airport theory
that arriving at the airport only fifteen minutes in advance
of your flight to clear security will work, which goes
against the conventional wisdom of showing up hours in advance.
The problem is, I guess it's causing a bunch of
(06:26):
stress at the airport because people are doing this and realizing, wait,
I'm not going to make my flight, which is causing
problems in the security line. People are missing flights, and
now the airlines are like, hey, can we stop with this?
Like you really you know, maybe if you're in I
don't know, Amarillo, Texas, you can get through security in
fifteen minutes, but not in Atlanta, not every time, and
(06:47):
just because you saw somebody on TikTok do it, So
how about we don't do this anymore and then everybody
makes their flights. Yeah, but I do feel like there
are two kinds of people in life, and I feel
like these people need to be aligned, because a misalignment
here is a serious issue. But there are the kind
of people that show up about an hour and a
half to two hours early. And there are the people
who think they can show up like if they arrive
(07:09):
when the flight starts boarding, then they'll make the flight
and be fine and no time is wasted. And I
am of the earlier camp. I'm of the camp where
you need to show up early because well, what's the
problem You show up early and that there's long lines
and whatever and it takes forever. You're safe if you
get right through. Then go enjoy a nice uh you know,
(07:31):
did Chilis to go? You know, or go get you
a bagel or maybe have a nice beer at the airport.
If you can drink a beer at any time in
the airport, there are no laws about drinking in the airport.
You can have a beer at eight thirty if you
want to. No one's gonna stop you. It's acceptable there.
So I don't know which which camp are you guys in.
I think Kalon's of the early camp. Jason's have like
(07:52):
to go the day before camp. Yeah, I'm already there. Yeah,
Keeking just doesn't get hotels and sleeps at the airport. Yes,
just stay there. Yes, And then Paulina forgot she had
a flight entirely, So did I get all that right, yep, yeah,
because I figure if you go early, you know that way,
(08:12):
you're not stressed, and everybody knows how this goes. You
go early, you get in, you pass security, then you
got to go to your gate. You have to see
that it's there, right okay? B twenty three? Okay, there
it is. I loo's up to it. B twenty three.
It says we're going to Phoenix. Says it right there? Okay? Perfect?
It doesn't board for an hour. Now I can survey
(08:35):
my options and I can see what there is to do.
Do I want to go to the bookstore. Do I
want to go buy a periodical? Do I want to
go and have a nice McDonald's or maybe go to
the macaroni grill. I haven't decided, but I have those
options because I've also been perusing my options as I
walk to the gate. The last thing you want to
do is just pick the first option you see, only
(08:57):
for your gate to be way far away and then
you really as you missed a better option on your
way to the gate. You'd never want that to happen. Okay,
A lot of feedback on that this morning. Good, So
don't do that. It's a national I want you to
be happy day, which is encouraging you to do something
(09:17):
that makes other people happy. So I guess we're relying
on other people to make us happy today, which, yeah,
what you guys do that's what are you doing? What
are you guys gonna do here? Okay, that's not so far. No,
(09:41):
you're gonna try a little harder than that. It's National
Anthem Day, okay, and National Read across America Day aka
Doctor Seuss's birthday today. The entertainer of Port Kaealan has
that next two minutes after SYSM music, will do blogs,
our audio journals and waiting by the phone. Let's figure
out if somebody is being ghosted and why. We'll do
that in about thirty minutes, I'm the Fred Show. We're
(10:02):
back into Glad you're here.
Oh is on the biggest stories of the day. I mean,
you know, it's getting out of hand, you guys, it's
really getting out of hand. I will say, uh, you
guys arerofully quiet about the the the wish for Bob
to come back. I text that actually speak she said,
I'm tired. It's funny. Bob just texted me and he said,
(00:23):
ha ha, it was him. That was him. He's loving
