Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Of the Day, Ry, What do I have for you?
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Phoebe Gates, daughter of Microsoft co founder Bill Gates, may
have casually dropped a big personal reveal about her famous dad,
Bill Gates. During recent appearance on Call Her Daddy. The
twenty two year old Phoebe called her dad socially awkward.
I think we knew that, and said quote he has Asperger's.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
The comment came.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Up while she was talking about how awkward it can
be bringing days home to one of the most recognizable
and reportedly reserved men in the world. Now, Bill Gates
has ever officially confirmed any diagnosis. He's hinted in the
past that he relates to trace on the autism spectrum,
even saying in his memoir that if you were growing
up today, he'd probably be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
(00:46):
For offhand remark as social media buzzing, with some calling
it a revealing moment, others questioning whether it was her
story to tell him. Now Bill Gates isn't saying anything
about him, so I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Well, he's so smart, so I just thought that's why
he was awkward, because I was too dumb to understand
when he's talking.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
No, that's what I thought too.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm just like, you know, you're speaking on another like
you're over here and I'm over here, and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Whatever you got going on, it is far better than
when I got going on.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Like, obviously I'm the dumb one up into it. So whatever.
A woman.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
This is the second time this week I have to
do a story like this. I have to as a journalist.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I must.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
A woman was seen literally pooping on the hood of
a car in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I got to hear both sides of the story, but
she's caught on video walking from her black car over
to a silver Sedan, squatting and then doing what she
has to do on the hood of the car. She
then walks away, leaving behind.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
There's a lot of description in this story that I
don't need to read, but let's just say it was
not I it was Chinese fiber.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, like they have stuff at CBS and Walgreens to
help you with this issue. The victim hanks while this
is happening, and then I guess it's a woman that's
in the car, then calls or a name. The suspect
was later identified as a forty four year old woman.
She told police it was clean. I didn't even have
(02:06):
to wipe.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Oh, it was a ghost poop, she said.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
She's now facing charges of indagent six. But can you
imagine someone's on your hood and you just a honk.
I don't know what else to do because if you drive,
well you drive, they go flying off your hood, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Reverse really fast then so she doesn't get hurt, but
she's off my own.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Oh, I'm pretty sure that would that could result in
some permanent injury.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
But yeah, I mean, how about just don't drop by people? Right?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I don't know persons on you. I mean that's just
a visual that you am. You started it, you can tell.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Just slow news day to day.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Days after claiming a one hundred and sixty seven million
dollar powerball jack caught, a Kentucky man is behind bars,
charged with kicking a cop in a face during a
melee and an ocean front hotel. Oh you think you
got big money now so you can just kick cops
in a face.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Huh. Oh, you're a millionaire now.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
So. His name is James, fifty year old ex convict.
He was arrested on felony and misimeter charges in connection
with the fracas at the Trade Resort in Saint Pete Beach.
He won the powerball drawing on April twenty six, one
hundred and sixty seven million dollars. One day after posing
with an oversized jackpot winner check, he punched a mail
(03:12):
victim in the face during an argument. During the brawl,
a deputy report of being kicked in the face by
the guy. The jackpot winner was booked into county jail.
He's got money for a lawyer, so he should be fine.
Forever twenty one, guys is closing all stores.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's over. It's the end of an era.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Forever twenty one. I feel like, what was it if
you were a child of the and you know, I
get these gens all missed mixed up, so I'm technically
I'm on the cusp of millennial, like I'm right there.
And before that it was gen X right correct, So
if you were gen X millennial, then it was early.
It would have been if you were like doing it,
like if you were like cool, it would have been
(03:51):
like structure. This is before express because structure is express. Oh,
so like you would have been like really when I
was very young, and structure would have been like if
you were going for like an Abercrombie look and then
or like the Surfer looks, so you would have gone
to like Pacsun or something. Yeah, on the West coast especially,
(04:11):
and then I think the next like a little bit
older than me or younger than me, rather it would
have been express. It would have been Forever twenty one
still Abercrombie American Eagle. I think maybe in my generation
with more aeropostal.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You never heard of that. No, you never heard of aeropostal.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
That was an apostle, right, it does either.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I thought I thought it.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Met I thought it was like airmail. I thought that
was what that means. How I thought that's what it meant.
I don't know, I don't know what the hell I'm
talking about.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
But then you made it sound like it was Chanel,
like I don't want to go there, it is.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
It was at the time.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I don't know what else whatever am I missing though,
But Forever twenty one would have been like when you
were in high school.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Right, yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
For yeah, yeah, And honestly, like I missed the one
that's used to be by the station, because like for
trips or something you need last minute.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
There's nothing like going in there.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Okay, I need a black crossbody, I need some certain
kind of ear rings like they had it.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
All before Fashion Nova yea very much. That took it
to the internet. Do you guys remember deb By? No,

I'm not sure, but zeb Deb is like the sister
to well maybe like the ratchet cousin.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Like she was I never heard of death. I never
saw you never saw de deb was.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Like I don't know, like like Huchie Mama, but like
make it fashion.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
From who they was still from Huci Mama clothes to
the prom dress.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yes, nice, it was little oh what seal?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And then like if you were really preppy J Crew,
I mean, which is still a thing, but you know
that was like yeah mona. And then if you were
like I think, really boogie, then you were like what
like Land's End, you know you never heard of that?
Like that was like that was like J Crew plus
what kind of outdoorsy? Yeah yeah yeah, but I remember
and express Abaca like the cool kids.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
They had all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
And then in high school I had some friends that
worked in Abercrombie, and they tended to only hire like
pretty attractive people, Like there weren't really ugly people working
at Abercrombie back in the day. But the funny thing
is is my friends who had jobs there, like Immed,
as soon as they were hired, they immediately treated themselves
as if they were the Abercrombie models, Like they they
couldn't like when they went to work, they could not
be inconvenience to actually do any work or help you
(06:20):
because like I don't know if you know this, but
I work at Average. I was chosen, okay, but like
they'd walk around on the stuff. It's like, no, you're
not the person on the back, okay, like you actually
have to fold clothes. I want to say it was
MJ who used to work on this show, who worked
at Abby Winter I got hired, went to Abercrombie. In
the first day, they asked him to fold something and
he goes, oh no, and he left never went back.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
That sounds like I'm.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Serious, and I'm sorry if I don't have that story right,
and he's you know, anyone who knows him is welcome
to correct me. But I want to say it was him,
and it was a joke. It was like he's like,
oh no, I wasn't gonna do no no, which I
don't know he.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Thought he'd be at the door shortly.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
I don't know. I don't know what he thought. I
guess he liked.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I just don't think you thought it was going to
be like that. Like that you'd walk in there and
you'd be like, hey, do you have this at a
large and they'd.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Be like, huh, don't chat to meat, right, don't look
at me nothing.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
But I did walk in there one day when I
was in college, and they had the huge murals, you know,
behind the cash register of like a very good looking
woman or man and like shirtless, you know, like on
the beach or whatever. And I look up, I'm like,
oh my god, that's my fraternity brother. And it was
and he did it, and he woulday, oh I did
that shoot like three years ago. I forgot about that,
and I'm like, I held up the bag. I'm like, well,
here's your here're your you know, here's your chest. Would
(07:27):
you like the bag? He's like oh yeah, so yeah,
he had like forgotten. I guess that years ago. He
was in an Abercrombie shoot and then didn't realize they
were going to make him into it eight foot tall,
you know, times square sized version of himself.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But that I mean I would be taking everyone.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
But hey, we need to stop by Abercrombie real fast,
like I gotta, I gotta pick up some fierce, Like honey,
we picked up fierce yesterday. No, no, we got to
go back. Oh look that looks familiar. Those are my pecks.
Forever twenty one, though, set to close all of its
remaining US doors after filing for bankruptcy for a second time.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
When's the last time you went there? Though, Forever twenty one.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I would go all the time at the one year
the stasion, but they closed it a couple of years ago.
That's right, they did. Yeah, so I don't have any
to go to.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I started in LA in nineteen eighty four, had about
three hundred and fifty US locations at the time of
the bankruptcy filing. The company previously announced plans to move
its operations online after shuttering its headquarters and laying off
hundreds of staffers and guys.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Do you remember.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
The the fay or it was an online trend really
but raw dogging?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Remember raw dogging? While you get on a plane.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Oh, I'm like what we're talking about?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, no ki oh akiky something with a plane, something
that you would never do ever, ever, ever, ever, which
is get on a plane and not use any form
of entertainment at all and just stare straight ahead for
hours and hours. This was a TikTok trend and it
was like, oh I just raw dogged a twelve hour
flight to Japan or whatever. And you the objective is
you sit in your chair and you don't use anything
(08:52):
to entertain yourself. No book, no TikTok, no, no like
screen in front of you. Nothing. It was called raw dogging.
It was a trend on this there's many iterations of it,
but on TikTok.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Now the latest trend fare back.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Oh what does that?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
If you're on a train or a subway commuting every
day without tech or entertainment, That's what bear Bach is.
Why I so that you have tremendous discipline, because if
you think about this, and this is true, if you
think about this, if I have four minutes in my life,
two minutes, if I have one minute where there's nothing happening,
(09:31):
I will grab my phone and look at it. Of course,
see if I have a text, see if I have
an email? Well that's I mean literally, like, if I'm
walking into's nothing happening, I'll pull my phone out of
my pocket. I'll probably check it three times of my
way from the studio to the car.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well why would I do that?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
So, this, I think is an example of discipline, Like
I you know, I'm gonna not I'm gonna I'm gonna
pay attention to the real world and I'm not going
to succumb to peer pressure because I constantly have to be.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Entertained in some way.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Sounds like torture to me. You guys enjoy that.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I mean, I try to be off my phone, like
I'll charge it in a different room. But that doesn't
mean I don't have music or the TV on something.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, on a trainer, subway, commuting without preoccupying yourself with
your phone, video games, or even old school stuff like books,
newspapers and magazines, you can stare up in the space.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You can look at other people.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I wouldn't recommend, you know, staring at people on a
train that in certain major cities could cause problems.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yes, but this is some people are saying, this is
like some.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Form of office rebellion like I'm not going to look
at my phone, which means I'm not going to write
emails on my way to work.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I'm not going to do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I'm going to stare straight ahead and i Am not
going to fall into the trap of being on my
phone and then not seeing what's happening around me or
in Kiki's case, not looking at the road. What It's
a National Space Day, Katie Perry shout out. Of course,
that's a special shout out from Kaylen. She wrote it
right there, Katy Perry the Astronaut National Life Insurance Day
and School Lunch Hero Day dedicated to those who make
(10:54):
the cafeterias and schools a better place to be. Let's
do the Entertainer report next blogs. If we have time
waiting by the phone, is new this morning? Why don't
somebody get ghosted? We're paying bills a bunch of chances
for you to win a thousand bucks start the weekend
