Fread's Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Oh, we don't have the NFL this weekend, but we
have it next weekend. Right, we have NFL next weekend. Jason,
let me look up NFL times.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
NFL times.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, September fourth, NFL Opening day, and that is the
Cowboys and the Eagles. So we have that speaking of
the Cowboys. If you're a sports fan, this is wild.
But they've agreed to trade all pro pass rusher Micah
Parsons at the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
This is what we all need to be doing around here.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
I'm sorry, but all you got to do is mid
contract just say you know what, I think I'm worth
more than that, and I'm just I'm gonna come to work,
but I'm not gonna talk until you pay me more.
Because that's what he did. That's what Michaeh Parsons did,
and they wouldn't pay him more. So finally they traded
him to a team that would and he's the best
player on the team.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Oh, so he wouldn't play.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
He wouldn't know. He had showed up and he put
his little uniform on for you know whatever, it's called
training camp, and then he said, hey, you know what,
I want a renegotiation to my deal. I'd like more
money now because I'm really, really good and you need me.
And so he stood there in his little uniform. He
didn't play, and this went on for weeks and weeks
and weeks, and finally they said we're not gonna pay you,

(01:54):
and he was like, but they had to get something
for him because he's so valuable. And I'm over simplifying this. Yeah,
but they so finally at the end, they traded their
best player to Arrival, who then paid him.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Wow, like this is what we got? What am I doing? No? Please?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Yeah right, I'm scared he's staring at it. Please don't
please do feel like I wouldn't have the same outcome.
But I'm here here with my arms crass. From here,
I also couldn't not talk for five It's impossible.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
I'm not going to talk and then you keep talking. Yeah, yeah,
I'm just sitting, just sitting here with my arms cruss.
I'm Michah Parsons. Yeah, well don't. I don't want to
go to any of those places. Please don't come. Yeah,
I prefer not to.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
But the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to trade all Pro
pass rusuer Michah Parses at the Green Bay Packers.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
The Packers are to.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Have to send two first round picks and Pro Bowl
defensive tackle Kenny Clark to the Cowboys and exchange for Parsons.
He also agreed to a four year, one hundred and
eighty eight million dollar contract with the Packers. It includes
one hundred and thirty six million, guaranteed an average salary
of forty seven million dollars a year, making Parses a
high paid non quarterback in NFL history. Someone checking my
brother in law, who is the only palatable Cowboys fan?

(03:06):
I know, he's the only Cowboys fan that I actually
I'm sorry, I haven't. Maybe you're out there, maybe you're
listening now, and you're a Cowboys fan that I can tolerate.
But I've yet to meet any other one except for
my brother in law.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
He's just a nice guy. Isn't Billy also a Cowboys fan? Well,
I mean he's from Detroit. Yeah, but he's not. But
he would hear for the Lions over the thing. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I shouldn't say that. Our friend, Billy the Kid does
morning show in Dallas.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
I think he pretends to be a Cowboys fan because
he's lived there for twenty five years, but he's not. Like,
he doesn't wear the death Star, you know, yeah, yeah
over his fedora you know what I mean? You know?

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Yeah, with his all black outfit and combat boots.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
He wears the Jacity uniform, except that there's a leather
jacket and sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Involved, which I think you should consider adding. I got
a leather jacket, so decided as that.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
I think in Vegas you need to wear a leather
jacket and sunglasses to deal with the celebrities. I want
the celebrities to have to deal with you. You know, Oh,
he looks important right exactly so this four year Pro
Bowl selection, in two time first team All Pro total
fifty two sacks. He had fifty two sacks over his

(04:10):
first sixty three NFL starts.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
The Packers will meet.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
The Cowboys for Sunday Night Football on September twenty eighth
in Arlington, Texas on NBC if you want to watch that.
Travis Kelsey has voted the second most annoying player in
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'm sure that hurts his feelings.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I'm sure he really cares right now as he has
the number one jersey sales.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
In the league. How does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Well, because I think probably people who are buying Kelsey
jerseys have no idea what they're buying. You got to
think there's a percentage of tailor fans that are buying
Kelsey jerseys because well, I.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Want his jersey with the name Swift.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Of the Association that's why you got to buy it
now before they change it. Oh yeah, I'm sure he's
taking her name.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yes, I think Kansas City Chiefs starred Travis Kelcey recently
engaged in Taylor Swift. If he didn't know that it was.
It was overshadowed by Keiky's engagement. But it's been got
to the second most annoying NFL player by fans, right
behind quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
This is from Action Network.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
They fo seventeen percent of fans consider Kelsey irritating, particularly
rival fans from the Raiders or the Eagles.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Patrick Mahomes with third. Yeah, he's my vote.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, I'm gone really got a footbow.

Speaker 1 (05:22):
It's sot. He sounds like Kermit, but like Growley, I
can't do it. I can't. Yeah, it's more like that. Yeah,
it's more like that.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Brody Jack Prescotte, Odell Beckham Junior rounded out the top five.
Gas prices are projected to hit the lowest level since
twenty twenty, which is good news. According to gas Buddy,
labor day gas prices averaged. They averaged two twenty two
a gallon in twenty twenty three, sixteen, and twenty twenty
one three seventy nine and twenty twenty two, three seventy
seven and twenty right three twenty nine and twenty twenty

(05:51):
four three point fifteen. They're saying average, not where everyone lives.
I don't think Amazon's facing a suit from users who
bought movies on Prime but don't own them. This is
a misnomord. This is something that I don't think people know.
But Amazon is being stuwed because it calls some digital
movie rentals on Prime video purchases, and that confuses customers.

(06:11):
People are actually ranting the movies. They don't own them permanently,
but the labeling makes it seem like they do. The
lawsuit claims that it's misleading and breaks consumer protection laws.
Amazon hasn't commented yet. I used to ask this question
back when we had to buy songs on like iTunes
for ninety nine cents or whatever you technically, my understanding was,
and I only took one law class one time, but

(06:33):
my understanding was that you were renting it for life.
So you could spend a million dollars on iTunes at
the time on an iTunes library that you couldn't exactly
pass on to anyone. Now, that's just I don't know
what you would have done with it, because you know,
eighty years from now, I don't even know if you'd
be able to listen to songs that way. But in theory,
you were only renting them for your life. You didn't
own them the way you owned a CD. And I
think that was a problem that people had, was, well,

(06:55):
if I buy a vinyl, it's mine, it's property. I
could pass that on if I wanted to, could be
worth something as where the songs are not.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Now.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Of course, you don't really have to buy songs, be
cause you can streame them or you know, hear the
money iHeart A or whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
But I guess in this case it would be more.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Like I thought, I bought the movie so I could
watch it a year from now, you know what I mean? Like, Oh,
I own it so I can watch anytime I want,
and then it goes away. I guess is the issue
that they have. So they shouldn't probably call it a purchase.
They should make sure that it says rental unless you
own it. And Taco Bell rolled out AI voice ordering
at over five hundred locations last year, and now the

(07:31):
chain is reconsidering its use after fielding complaints about glitches
and delays, not to mention the occasional prank, like someone
who recently ordered eighteen thousand cups of water. Even the
exec can charge at Mitch's experience has not been smooth.
Taco Bell joins McDonald's companies, pulling back on Voice AI
after big investments.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
I could have told you that was gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, National Chop suey day, another very specific day.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, there you go.
