Speaker 1 (00:00):
Red Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
So I flew Delta for the first time. I'm going
to Salt Lake City. I've never flown Delta whole life, well,
because I've never lived anywhere where you needed to fly
Delta or you really could. You know, Arizona, the Phoenix
is American, a US Air before that or whatever American,
(00:21):
and then a Dallas American for the most part. Charlotte
American for the most part. I mean literally, I don't
even know if they have I don't know if they
have maybe two flights out of Phoenix to Atlanta or
something on Delta.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Cities have specific airlines they kind of love, well they
have they have big hubs where like you know, for example,
well like if you live in Chicago, you go to Midway,
you're basically only flying Southwest out of Midway.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Basically, yes, there's a couple other airlines, but like you're
talking on one or two gates like Porter and a Velo,
And I think there's one Delta flight that goes to
New York or something back and forth all day. But
whatever the case may be, I've just never really had
the occasion. But Salt Lake City is a Delta hub,
so I flew them. I had a very nice experience.
Some people last week didn't have as nice of an experience,
but they did walk away and they're going to get
(01:06):
thirty thousand dollars, which is very nice, in addition to
the being gazillions of dollars in the lawsuit that they're
going to be filing that part two. However, ah Man
another bad day for Delta. A Delta flight bound for
South Carolina was forced to return to Atlanta on Monday
when some hayes filled the cabin, just two days after
a similar mishap diverted yet another Delta flight in LA.
(01:28):
They were in the air, ninety nine passengers and crew
on board about eight thirty in the morning. The pilot
turned the mowing around and landed back at the Hartsfield
Jackson International Airport. Everybody evacuated on the slides, no reported injuries.
Footage taken before the plane return shows passengers covering their
noses inside the hazy cabin. The FAA will be investigating
(01:49):
a growing number of US restaurants are responding to the
nationwide egg shortage by adding a temporary surcharge to their
egg based meals at some locations, so Denny's is going
to do this a fifty cent surch charge. Costco and
Trader Joe's are taking action as well, imposing limits on
how many eggs one customer can buy. And this is
(02:10):
all because the Avian flu has killed more than one
hundred and forty million egg laying birds in the country
Since twenty twenty two. At least eighteen point nine million
birds have been when is this cold in the last
in the past thirty days. It's a bit of a
birds of dying all the time. That's very sad. And
I'm stuttering about it because I just don't have enough
egg intake in my life. I've just I've fanned them
(02:31):
all I started. I bought chickens, and they're just running
around my house right now. I'm waiting for them to
lay their eggs. I'm told they just do that. I
don't know if I need to, like, do I need
to talk to them about it? Or do I doesn't
anyone else need to be involved? I mean, do I
need to get a coop? Right? Do I need a coop?
Do I almost said something? I mean I was Yeah,
I almost said something I shouldn't say, even though it was.
(02:52):
It's I'm referring to the animal itself. Do I need
males too? Because I only bought fee, I only bought hens.
I didn't buy any roosters. Yeah, that's a problem. Clearly,
I don't know what I'm talking about, but my HOA
is going to have a real problem with them. Seven
and ten Americans would support a cell phone ban in schools.
That's trending today. A new survey of two thousand American
shows that only twenty nine percent say that they would
(03:14):
not support a ban on cell phones in school. Seventy
one percent are in favor in some form. Fifty percent
advocate for a ban in elementary schools, lessening as people
get older. The biggest reason to support a ban is
the worry over them distracting in lessons and impacting education
the phones. That is followed by overall worry that children
(03:34):
are on devices too much. The biggest reason people wouldn't
support it is that parents skill they should be able
to get a hold of their child at all times. Yeah,
I mean we didn't have phones. No, we didn't have them.
No one had phones. Didn't when I was an elementary school, well,
phones existed, but we didn't have like, yes, your iPhones,
you have a buck there.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
There wasn't an.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
iPhone in nineteen ninety or whatever I was in elementary
school didn't exist that, I'm sorry to say. Yeah, maybe
a pager, but I didn't have a pager when I
was in first grade either, though that was more of
a third grade thing. Home was to hit me, hit
me on the two way you know, which you've heard
(04:17):
me go on this rant before. But I knew people
and then the two thousands that had those two way
pagers that were they're very cool. It was text message
before text message, except the only way. The only people
you could talk to were the other people that had
two way pagers, so not a lot of people had them,
so like, the only person I could hit up was
and I didn't buy one because I only knew one
of the person that had one, and maybe I wanted
to talk to more people than just Cam. Of course
(04:39):
you know who it is.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Cam.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
And my friend Billy the Kid had one. Of course
he did. Of course he had one, and that was
that's his name, Billy the Kid, and he had to
have a two way page. I don't know who he
was talking to because I didn't know anybody else who
had one. So but anyway, I guess I don't know.
I feel like now most classrooms have phones in them,
so I would agree though that they've got to be
distracted if you're a teacher, Oh yes, God's got to
(05:02):
be distracting for every single kid to have a device, right,
Like when was there not a band? Like I hit
a band all the time I was in school. It
wasn't an.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Option, Like if you got they would take your phone
literally can get away.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, if you're teacher eight five five five nine three
five quickly. I would love to know if this is
an actual issue, because I get it. I mean, if
I'm a parent and I have a child, based on
some of the things that have been happening in schools
over the past decade, I would want to be able
to get to my whole a hold of my child
very quickly. That being said, I can also see why
I wouldn't want my kid to have one in their
pocket because they're going to be doing stuff other than learning.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
Of course, we'll be on TikTok during class. No, it's
hard because like I think about this all the time.
For my kid, I'm like, I don't know at what
age am I going to get her a phone?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
You know?
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I know most of her little friends are going to
have them at a young age. It's just the world
we live in. But I don't like that. I don't
agree with it. But I know that I don't want
her to be like cast it out because you don't
got a phone, because I was that kid in eighth grade.
But I also don't I don't know, want her to
be having access to so much.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
A lot of kids now have Apple watches and not phones.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
I can like communicate with them, but you don't have
access to the Internet and all that craziness.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I like that, so that might be an option. Well,
how do you communicate with no access to the internet?
Was it, wife? I maybe? Well, yeah, I think you
can't like browse yeah yeah, but it's connected to something,
so people could hit. I just meant like they can't
go on YouTube and see like a beheading. Oh well
that's nice. I mean whenever I look at I like,
I like the bigger screen typically for my beheading. It's
(06:27):
like I prefer when I'm going to watch the beheading.
Speaker 7 (06:29):
I use we had no like like boundaries on the
internet when you're a little.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I'm pretty sure there aren't any met either, but yeah, yeah,
when I'm looking at typically, I like to use my
ad inch for that. I mean, I want to really,
I want to capture the moment.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
I'm so scary.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I mean, yes, I would imagine it was yeah yeah,
but an Apple was just wouldn't do it for me
with that, you know, come on, unlocked, come on like
you know, god, I mean like, you know, I can
look at adult stuff on my phone, but I'm not
watching a movie on it. You know, if I'm watching
a motion picture, we need something bigger. But you know,
in a pinch, you know, it's fine. Oh my god,
(07:09):
I'm Kaylee. Nothing good can come from the TikTok trend,
and this is another reason why I guess we don't
need phones in the classroom. The hashtag for this new
trend is dropping things on my foot? What how about
we don't? How about we don't make videos of you
dropping things on your foot? A doctor is having to
warn people that a TikTok trend that's gone viral under
(07:31):
that hashtag is leading people disabled for life. The trend
involves people making videos of themselves dropping things on their
actual feet. They then give a rating of how much
pain the object that was dropped on their foot caused.
One doctor says this trend, which is encouraging people to
drop sharp and increasingly heavy household objects on their feet,
is highly likely to result in foot injuries. So maybe not.
(07:53):
And Ihop hopes to set a new Guinness World record
for the most pancake served in eight hours to celebrate
National Pancake Days twentieth anniversary. They're having this in Santa Monica, California,
or at the Pier specifically on Saturday from nine to five.
They hope to serve twenty thousand pancakes and they're inviting
fans across La to take part in the festivities. There
(08:17):
is a charitable angle. For every pancake served during the
record attempt, i hop will donate one dollar Defeating America,
benefiting the La Regional Food Bank and its efforts to
fight hunger in LA County. If you're unable to go
to California, National Pancake Day is on March fourth, and
locations throughout the nation will offer a free short stack
of pancakes from seven am to eight pm. Don't order
(08:39):
an egg, though, that will cost you more. It's National
Chocolate covered Nut Day and National Clam Chowder Day. Michael Hi.
Michael Hi, we know how Caman feels about it, But
how about cell phones in school?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
So I used to be a teacher. Grant that I
taught five year olds, so they don't really have the phones.
But I'm against the band. I think, you know, teachers
have been having to you know, stop students from passing
notes all the time. And back when I was in school,
I had a razor, so I didn't have like internet
access and all that stuff. But to me, it just
(09:15):
kind of feels like we're faulting the kids just for
the how phones have changed, you know, just because now
we have iPhones, it doesn't I don't think that it's
appropriate for teachers to now have the band phones from schools.
I think it just falls on teachers to have to
be able to you know, monitor that as well as
you would like notes in a classroom or things like that.
(09:37):
I'm I'm on the side of like if I if
my son was in school and I couldn't reach him,
I'd be pretty pod. I would rather on my son
be able to have a phone and just let him know, like,
don't use it in school inappropriately.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's a valid argument, and thank you, Michael, have a
great day, Thanks for listening. That's a valid argument about
you know, wanting to get a hold of your kid
based on all the different things. But you know, kids
will never know. You'll never know know what it's like
to rip a little piece of paper off the side
and write and write a note, or have to write
in some form of code or hieroglyphics, and then have
to somehow pass that to someone across the room not
(10:10):
get caught, and then receive a message back. I mean,
these are the kind of things that kids will never know.
Kids will never know what it's like to have to
call a girl as a boy. Kids will never know
what it's like to have to call a girl's house
and their dad answers the phone, and you're gonna navigate
through pops to get to the girl, you know, and
dads would be intentionally intimidating. Now they got the direct line,
(10:32):
they just call the cell phone. Dad's does an answer anymore.
Kids will never understand what that's like. No, the pressure,
Hey Gina, hey can you hear me? I can? I
can hear you? So you're a teacher and your antiphone, why.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Even I mean First of all, they cheat all the time,
so like the smallest worksheet and they're just gonna look
up the answers and like not use their brains. But
what's really sad is if there's any downtime, instead of
talking to each other and interacting in like a natural way,
they're just all on their phone. But I want them
to like speak to each other and get to know
each other and like play a game.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You know. Yeah. Yeah. Kids will also never know, Gina,
how you got to be more creative and have some
ingenuity win cheating.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Kids will never understand this exactly.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
But you know what, I just force them. I offer
them extra credit at the beginning of the year, and
if you're on your phone, I take the extra credit away.
So that seems to work. We're a no phone zone.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
There you go. Thank you, Gina, have a good day.
I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Thanks you, guys.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I'm fine with this. I'm fine with this. Yeah, because again,
I think most schools have now they have phones in
the classroom, and there are other things that we also
didn't have back in the day. I don't think when
my elementary school didn't have a landline phone in the classroom.
None of them did so I mean the phone. A
cell phone would have been helpful back then, but now
I think there are other ways. Hey, Julie, Yes, hi Julie,
(11:54):
good morning. So phones in the classroom, A lot of
people are in favor of well, I guess, I guess
some people are in favor of a band. Most people
are not, though, because they want to get ahold of
their kid all the time. Right.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I am a middle school teacher and I am completely
against it. I agree with the other listeners of Interact
and all that stuff. Well, just the other week, I
was my students were working on a project, and I
found that one of my students was live streaming in
(12:27):
my class. So I took your cell phone and was
going to turn it into the office. And the next
I talked to the mom. The mom was like, oh,
thank you so much for taking the phone. And then
the next day that mother stopped traffic morning car traffic
to demand a meeting about me, the teacher taking the phone,
(12:51):
not her son live streaming in class.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Wow, okay, wow, yeah, that's you're right. I mean, whether
it's live stream or whether it's watching YouTube videos, or
cheating or or accessing stuff that you wouldn't you know
that no one's watching at home to see if you're
looking at or whatever. I can see why, you know,
having that little device. The other thing is I used
to lose stuff and break stuff at school all the time,
(13:15):
and like I didn't even get to wear my nicest
stuff to school either until I was older because I
mess it up. And so giving my kid a thousand
dollars phone to put in their pocket to carry around,
I don't know about that. Let's get them a Jitterbut.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
They can't even bring a pencil to my class. So
bring a phone out of the right. Keep trying that.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
There you go, Thank you, Julie, have a good day. Yeah,
they begining like one of those old people phones where
you know, you can call like two numbers. I can
call home and I can call the hospital and that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
And I don't know when I was in school, my
parents never wanted to talk to me like it was
you know, you're I'm at school there at work? Oh yeah,
So what do we need to be in constant communication about?
Like if you need the kids?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
These kids need to feel the.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Thrill of somebody coming over the intercom and saying you, Kiki,
I need you to come down to the office and
you don't know why.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The whole class is like, well, that was because you
were the ringleader of a girl gang, that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
But I didn't have a phone, so I was able.
I was the leader of a movement with no phone.
Just because you were the Griselda Blanco of your middle school.
That's with no phone. These kids need to know what
it's like to write a girl. Would you meet my girlfriend? Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Or no? You know the three old I agree. I agree.
There's there's personal contact that the kids don't have to
have anymore, and I think that that they're they're not
as well off for it. You need to know what
it's like to have to have the courage to speak
to someone.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Justice for the teachers, like, honestly, I do feel really
bad for teachers.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, you call in the meeting because your child was
live screaming or streaming in my class.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh you're right, though, you're right in that. When I
would use the phone to call home, it was either
because I forgot something and you're gonna have to drive
up and give it to me, like a book, and
it was thirty minutes away from my house. So if
the phone at home my mom was going to have
to do something, come get me, because I was trying
to say I was sick, because I usually wasn't, but
I was trying to just go home, or I needed
(15:08):
money for something. So you're right. Those are the three
reasons that I would have been calling home, and I
don't think anybody wanted to hear them anyway. Yes, so yeah,
you know, how about like an ICB radio if anyone
knows where that is? Break or breaker one niner, you
know what I mean. There's a smoky on my tail
And if you don't know that joke, and I'm sorry
for you, do the Entertainment Report Next Fresh Show
Red Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
So I flew Delta for the first time. I'm going
to Salt Lake City. I've never flown Delta whole life, well,
because I've never lived anywhere where you needed to fly

but an Apple was just wouldn't do it for me
with that, you know, come on, unlocked, come on like
you know, god, I mean like, you know, I can
look at adult stuff on my phone, but I'm not
watching a movie on it. You know, if I'm watching
a motion picture, we need something bigger. But you know,
in a pinch, you know, it's fine. Oh my god,
(07:09):
I'm Kaylee. Nothing good can come from the TikTok trend,
and this is another reason why I guess we don't
need phones in the classroom. The hashtag for this new
trend is dropping things on my foot? What how about
we don't? How about we don't make videos of you
dropping things on your foot? A doctor is having to
warn people that a TikTok trend that's gone viral under
(07:31):
that hashtag is leading people disabled for life. The trend
involves people making videos of themselves dropping things on their
actual feet. They then give a rating of how much
pain the object that was dropped on their foot caused.
One doctor says this trend, which is encouraging people to
drop sharp and increasingly heavy household objects on their feet,
is highly likely to result in foot injuries. So maybe not.
(07:53):
And Ihop hopes to set a new Guinness World record
for the most pancake served in eight hours to celebrate
National Pancake Days twentieth anniversary. They're having this in Santa Monica, California,
or at the Pier specifically on Saturday from nine to five.
They hope to serve twenty thousand pancakes and they're inviting
fans across La to take part in the festivities. There
(08:17):
is a charitable angle. For every pancake served during the
record attempt, i hop will donate one dollar Defeating America,
benefiting the La Regional Food Bank and its efforts to
fight hunger in LA County. If you're unable to go
to California, National Pancake Day is on March fourth, and
locations throughout the nation will offer a free short stack
of pancakes from seven am to eight pm. Don't order
(08:39):
an egg, though, that will cost you more. It's National
Chocolate covered Nut Day and National Clam Chowder Day. Michael Hi.
Michael Hi, we know how Caman feels about it, But
how about cell phones in school?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
So I used to be a teacher. Grant that I
taught five year olds, so they don't really have the phones.
But I'm against the band. I think, you know, teachers
have been having to you know, stop students from passing
notes all the time. And back when I was in school,
I had a razor, so I didn't have like internet
access and all that stuff. But to me, it just
(09:15):
kind of feels like we're faulting the kids just for
the how phones have changed, you know, just because now
we have iPhones, it doesn't I don't think that it's
appropriate for teachers to now have the band phones from schools.
I think it just falls on teachers to have to
be able to you know, monitor that as well as
you would like notes in a classroom or things like that.
(09:37):
I'm I'm on the side of like if I if
my son was in school and I couldn't reach him,
I'd be pretty pod. I would rather on my son
be able to have a phone and just let him know, like,
don't use it in school inappropriately.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
That's a valid argument, and thank you, Michael, have a
great day, Thanks for listening. That's a valid argument about
you know, wanting to get a hold of your kid
based on all the different things. But you know, kids
will never know. You'll never know know what it's like
to rip a little piece of paper off the side
and write and write a note, or have to write
in some form of code or hieroglyphics, and then have
to somehow pass that to someone across the room not
(10:10):
get caught, and then receive a message back. I mean,
these are the kind of things that kids will never know.
Kids will never know what it's like to have to
call a girl as a boy. Kids will never know
what it's like to have to call a girl's house
and their dad answers the phone, and you're gonna navigate
through pops to get to the girl, you know, and
dads would be intentionally intimidating. Now they got the direct line,
(10:32):
they just call the cell phone. Dad's does an answer anymore.
Kids will never understand what that's like. No, the pressure,
Hey Gina, hey can you hear me? I can? I
can hear you? So you're a teacher and your antiphone, why.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Even I mean First of all, they cheat all the time,
so like the smallest worksheet and they're just gonna look
up the answers and like not use their brains. But
what's really sad is if there's any downtime, instead of
talking to each other and interacting in like a natural way,
they're just all on their phone. But I want them
to like speak to each other and get to know
each other and like play a game.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
You know. Yeah. Yeah. Kids will also never know, Gina,
how you got to be more creative and have some
ingenuity win cheating.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Kids will never understand this exactly.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
But you know what, I just force them. I offer
them extra credit at the beginning of the year, and
if you're on your phone, I take the extra credit away.
So that seems to work. We're a no phone zone.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
There you go. Thank you, Gina, have a good day.
I love that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Thanks you, guys.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
I'm fine with this. I'm fine with this. Yeah, because again,
I think most schools have now they have phones in
the classroom, and there are other things that we also
didn't have back in the day. I don't think when
my elementary school didn't have a landline phone in the classroom.
None of them did so I mean the phone. A
cell phone would have been helpful back then, but now
I think there are other ways. Hey, Julie, Yes, hi Julie,
(11:54):
good morning. So phones in the classroom, A lot of
people are in favor of well, I guess, I guess
some people are in favor of a band. Most people
are not, though, because they want to get ahold of
their kid all the time. Right.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
I am a middle school teacher and I am completely
against it. I agree with the other listeners of Interact
and all that stuff. Well, just the other week, I
was my students were working on a project, and I
found that one of my students was live streaming in
(12:27):
my class. So I took your cell phone and was
going to turn it into the office. And the next
I talked to the mom. The mom was like, oh,
thank you so much for taking the phone. And then
the next day that mother stopped traffic morning car traffic
to demand a meeting about me, the teacher taking the phone,
(12:51):
not her son live streaming in class.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Wow, okay, wow, yeah, that's you're right. I mean, whether
it's live stream or whether it's watching YouTube videos, or
cheating or or accessing stuff that you wouldn't you know
that no one's watching at home to see if you're
looking at or whatever. I can see why, you know,
having that little device. The other thing is I used
to lose stuff and break stuff at school all the time,
(13:15):
and like I didn't even get to wear my nicest
stuff to school either until I was older because I
mess it up. And so giving my kid a thousand
dollars phone to put in their pocket to carry around,
I don't know about that. Let's get them a Jitterbut.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
They can't even bring a pencil to my class. So
bring a phone out of the right. Keep trying that.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
There you go, Thank you, Julie, have a good day. Yeah,
they begining like one of those old people phones where
you know, you can call like two numbers. I can
call home and I can call the hospital and that's it.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
And I don't know when I was in school, my
parents never wanted to talk to me like it was
you know, you're I'm at school there at work? Oh yeah,
So what do we need to be in constant communication about?
Like if you need the kids?
Speaker 1 (13:56):
These kids need to feel the.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Thrill of somebody coming over the intercom and saying you, Kiki,
I need you to come down to the office and
you don't know why.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
The whole class is like, well, that was because you
were the ringleader of a girl gang, that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
But I didn't have a phone, so I was able.
I was the leader of a movement with no phone.
Just because you were the Griselda Blanco of your middle school.
That's with no phone. These kids need to know what
it's like to write a girl. Would you meet my girlfriend? Yes?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
Or no? You know the three old I agree. I agree.
There's there's personal contact that the kids don't have to
have anymore, and I think that that they're they're not
as well off for it. You need to know what
it's like to have to have the courage to speak
to someone.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
Justice for the teachers, like, honestly, I do feel really
bad for teachers.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, you call in the meeting because your child was
live screaming or streaming in my class.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Oh you're right, though, you're right in that. When I
would use the phone to call home, it was either
because I forgot something and you're gonna have to drive
up and give it to me, like a book, and
it was thirty minutes away from my house. So if
the phone at home my mom was going to have
to do something, come get me, because I was trying
to say I was sick, because I usually wasn't, but
I was trying to just go home, or I needed
(15:08):
money for something. So you're right. Those are the three
reasons that I would have been calling home, and I
don't think anybody wanted to hear them anyway. Yes, so yeah,
you know, how about like an ICB radio if anyone
knows where that is? Break or breaker one niner, you
know what I mean. There's a smoky on my tail
And if you don't know that joke, and I'm sorry
