Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Somebody said on the Texas a child protection services worker, Yes,
it would be nice to forget this, but as a human,
I'd have to have that reminder of how vile other
humans are. I believe that, Like if you're in that field,
or law enforcement, or maybe even as a healthcare worker.
(00:25):
I'm sure there are things that you'd like to forget.
I'm sure, but I think you'd become robotic if you
didn't forget about the human part of your life. Like
if you forgot about the human part of your life
and then you want to do your job. The only
way that works, I think is if you have a
job that's robotic that doesn't require any part of you,
because that's empathy, that's.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Relatability, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Like, if you're a nurse and you're just a robot,
you're not going to be I don't think as effective
of a nurse, or as effective of a doctor, or
effective of this or if you don't have if you
can't bring some of yourself to it.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I agree. So I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I don't know if that I mean it would be nice,
I guess, but I don't know if it would work.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
It'd be nice to like not take that home like
police officers are like nurses, you know, all the stuff
that they take home and they have to sleep with
and think about and stuff like that during the day.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Maybe if you go in the robotically, but that's even
a word, maybe you're more efficient at your job, Like
you're thinking more with your brain than your heart, you know,
even though you need both.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
I think in that field, yeah, maybe you're right, But again,
that would be good if you were like a factory worker,
or you did something where you didn't necessarily have to
put yourself into it as much. I'm not minimizing that role.
I just think if you work maybe as a I
don't know, do you think. I mean Mike the mechanic.
I realize he owns the place, he owns the gay Arage,
so he has to relate to the customers. But as
far as like wrenching and stuff like, you would probably
(01:43):
get a lot more work done if you didn't have
to talk to anybody or have to or if he
didn't have it to bring any of himself to it.
But then he might get a lot less business because
people probably come to Mike the Mechanic because he's Mike
the Mechanic.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Right, and he does payment plans and he just doesn't
judge you at all at all.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
He's like, I'm working so hard.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Well, every time I go there, he's just yapping with
some customer and talking about this and that. Well, I'm like,
you could get so much more work done, but I'm
not saying nothing.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh yeah, I'm not saying nothing. Let me see what
else here. Oh, someone wants an update on Kaitlin's grounding blanket.
What are you feeling grounded? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I think I feel it. I don't know how. I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Some people said that it takes them a month, and
honestly I was lagging on putting them on my bed,
you know, because I didn't know how to wash them
and I was being lazy.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
But I think I feel it. How many times you've
been electrocuted? Just like two or three? Couple? Yeah, yeah,
a big deal?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
A couple?
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, all right. Biggest stories at the day.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yukon overwhelmed South Carolina eighty two to fifty nine to
win its record twelfth NCAA women's basketball national championship, and
the men played tonight the Houston Cougars rallied past Duke,
which I turned that game off because I didn't see
any way the Duke wasn't going to win. And then
they didn't win in like Houston went in heroic fashion,
came back from down over ten and I guess, and
(03:01):
then one I think they were down seven with a
minute and a half to go, and they won the game.
But you know, typical me, I'm like, eh, I don't
need to watch this anymore. Duke's gonna win. Oh, Duke,
here we go again. Always Duke, Duke, do you know whatever?
And then they lost.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
They did.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, I may have just mentioned that you came in
hot this morning, and now you're not paying attention, so
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You use all your energy? Are you want severings?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Are get out of here.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Trump has extended the TikTok deadline yet again, uh the
deadline for TikTok to divest a US operations for a
second time, saying a potential deal to avert a band
requires more work. The owner Byte Dance, which is based
in China, It faced at April fifth deadline to sell
its US business, which was also an extension from a
January nineteen. The target day didn't go anywhere though. We
didn't do the whole thing where it went away and
(03:49):
came back. So there's that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So we didn't play with your emotions in that way,
which it played with me a little bit too, to
be honest. Oh yeah, when it went away, there was
a moment of sadness. Yes, I'm like, well.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
You're still recovering from that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
What am I going to do with the hours and
hours of free time that I get back? And where
am I going to get Steth to talk about on
the show if I don't have that anymore? Like how
did people do this job in the old timy days?
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Like what do you have to do?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Get up at you know in like the in like
the seventies, Like how did Eddie and Jobo do this?
They had to like breathe the newspaper, you know, I
think that was the nineties. But whatever, how did they
do it? They had to get up and they probably
well that they probably had money for like staff in
a writer's room.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
They probably people.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They probably pat people to tell them when they would
show up and you know at six oh one and
it would be like hey, Eddie and Jobo say this Okay, God,
bless God, bless Eddie and Jobo Radio legends.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I tell you so.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Fire Festival two point zero. So this is this is
probably the least surprising news of the day. If you're
not familiar with Fire Festival. Fire Festival, there's a whole
documentary about it. Shout out to the guy who had
to secure the heavy on water from the airport.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
What a hero.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
But this was this was supposed like a Lallapaloozah Coachella,
you know, sort of thing on an island that was
all these musicians and and and you bought tickets where
you were supposed to be able to like camp out,
and I mean it was it was supposed to be
this whole like lifestyle experience week of whatever. And it
(05:20):
tried to be a total disaster. People in FEMA tents
and eating bad sandwiches. And then the artist showed up
and it was just this complete And Billy McFarlane, the
head of the whole thing, he went to jail over
this because he took everyone's money and then didn't fulfill
any of what you know, he said he was going
to and then it was a whole scam. Well, this
guy gets out of jail and decides he's going to
(05:41):
do it again, and predictably, we're having problems with Fire
Festival two point zero. They're having venue issues a month
before the event. Oh so TMC got a hold of
text messages to claim that the town of Plado Carmen
in Mexico is backstabbing them. One message reads they the
government posted on ex Instagram, cetera, giving their blessing and support,
(06:02):
and then yesterday they say we've never heard of them.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Another one read and at this point we're not doing
any event there and we plan on making it very
public and showing all the evidence. This comes days after
Billy McFarlane stated online he was working with the town
to make the festival happen and shared a timeline of
paperwork being signed and fees being paid.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Okay, now, Jason, as somebody who's.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Been involved with many a production, we are a month
out and they haven't booked a venue, which means they
don't have any artists. Yeah, because there's no one who's
going to First of all, I don't know any artists
who are going to sign up for this after all
the bad press before, but even if they were. I
don't know any management who's going to be like, sure,
no venue, Fine will be there, just let us know where.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
That's not how this works.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Right, Like every artist needs certain things in order to perform,
and you don't even have a venue yet, not even
a stage or speakers or.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Microphos or any of the other stuff. I mean, there's
so much that goes to next he served time for
throwing a festival.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Why is it? Why why are we talking about this?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Like you think you're gonna get paid?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Well, I would have been damn sure if I'm this
guy and I'm doing this again, I would have been,
damn sure it's really gonna happen if I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Doing it again. Make the situation they were in there together,
he might be going back.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
It sounds like because and then what was it a
Good Morning America or somebody they they tried to book
the like the hotels using the code on the website
and the hotels like we've never heard of this, Like
they've made it all up, like it's a disaster, and
it's just like, dude, if you're I get it, like
you really throw this thing, like, let's hit it right, Sime.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Then don't you need a permit or something like what?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I guess that's what he says he's signed up for,
but like, I don't. Again, we're doing this a month
in advance.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And supposedly they have receipts of like confirmations of permits
and stuff, and now all of a sudden, the city
is like, no, I don't know you.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I've never heard of this, man. I mean, Danny's Pizza
with Jimmy. You had to plan that at least a
month in advance. I mean, like three weeks time. I
could think Billy McFarland didn't plan it. We would have
all showed up and it would have been like, you know,
some other party in the room.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Ye would have been terrible. Don't trust Billy.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Texas Roadhouse has replaced Olive Garden as America's top casual
dining chain. Olive Garden, which held the top spot since
twenty eighteen, came in second this year. Last year, Texas
Roadhouse on increase of fourteen point seven percent in sales,
making five point five billion dollars, but there's seven hundred
and twenty locations. Olive Garden saw about a one percent increase.
The rest of the list included Chili's, Applebe's, and Buffalo
(08:35):
Wild Wings. I don't know if I've maybe once have
I eaten a Texas Roadhouse, And for no reason, I
just have never been in the proximity really of a
Texas Roadhouse.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
There isn't one near my home.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
No, But as a regular, I will say to both
options that Texas Roadhouse, it is packed all the time,
like a minimum hour wait.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Whenever you got it.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Always looks good like in the TikTok videos I see
or whatever. But I there just isn't one really around here,
so I don't ever get to go, and you're not
going to get that delivered, in my opinion. I'm sure
the Texas Roadhouse people are upset with me for saying that.
But there are certain restaurants I don't know. I'm not
ordering a steak from outback delivered. I'm gonna go down back.
If I'm gonna go down back.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Correctly, just you to go. I don't even know if
you can't deliver Texas Warehouse. I think it's just you
have to go get it. You have to get it.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I picked it up. I just don't pick up anything,
trust right, Yes, how do I know? I know just
trust me on that. One Michigan school district issued a
letter to parents and guardians asking him to stop smoking
marijuana in the school parking lot during drop off and
pickup times.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Hell yeah, Michigan.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
So you're waiting to pick up line, which can be
very long at times, you know it can be. It
can be over forty five minutes. It's like, well, but
here's the thing. You're in a car that you drove there,
and you have to drive the car home as you
pick getting high like that contails. You can get a
dui for being high.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So like, let's maybe not right, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
The superintendent of the Orchard View School District made it
clear that smoking marijuana in school property is against the law.
He also expressed concerns about parents driving under the influence.
He said that while the district respects personal choices made
outside school grounds, the proximity to students requires stronger restrictions.
The letter didn't indicate how many smoking incidents occurred or
whether law enforcement had been involved, and emphasized it under
(10:22):
Michigan state laws, he'll legal for anyone to smoke marijuana
inside a vehicle. For miners to be in a vehicle
where the driver may be under the influence of marijuana,
and to drive well under the influence of marijuana. A
delivery driver, and I don't know why this is news,
but it is on an electric bicycle, was caught on
video in New York putting a pizza back in the
box after it fell on the pavement. The woman who
(10:47):
showed it said the pizza was face down on the pavement,
which I suppose is worse than face up. I don't
know when the man picked up the pie. The woman
tried to get him to stop, but he didn't listen
put it back in the box. The video was posted
to a New Yorker's Instagram page and it has over
one hundred and forty thousand likes, or has been viewed
that many times. It's not no knowing what service the
delivery driver worked for.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Now. We don't know if the dude put it back
in the box and threw it away right, just leave
it on the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah, I mean, I guess the assumption is that he
had it delivered or like then he still delivered it
to the people. But I'm assuming that he just picked
it up and then not to make a mess. Even
more of a mess and then threw it away somewhere
right business. Yeah, I'm hoping nobody ate that, but I
do have to wonder. And I know you you moon
you moonlit at one point Jason as a DoorDash delivery driver. Yeah,
(11:36):
and I do wonder sometimes Now they seal the bags
and all the stuff, but I wonder, like, you know,
we have stuff falls out and they're like whoop this, you.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Know or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You know that kind of stuff where you just take
a fry, just one, you know, just reach in there
and just grab one.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Girl.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
There was one time it was five guys and you
know how good those smell, and it fills up your
whole car, and that was hungry and I was so
close to just reaching in and taking them, but I
didn't do it.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I was very proud of myself. But it was close.
I was. I was right there.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Hot take from a door Dash aficionado. Five guys. While
I do order it from time to time, is much
much much better in the restaurantist when you get it.
Or is it just the fries don't deliver? Well, the
burgers are fine, but the fries are a little sog, yes,
because you know they pour the like if they put
them in the cop and then they like the fries
(12:29):
go in the cup, and then they pour more on
top of that, which only just coached the inside of
the paper bag that they deliver it in. And and finally,
the woman who has the world's longest female tongue says
that people screaming shock when they see him. It measures
three point eight inches long. I don't know how many
times she's sticking her tongue out, but it's three point
eight inches long from the tip to her lips, So
(12:51):
that doesn't include the party inside her mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Wait, how long from the tip to the lip?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Almost four inches three point eight inches, so it's about
this far from here to here. It looks like that, which,
of course everyone can see. You know when I say
it looks like that, because we're on the radio, the
people scream and shock when she shows her lengthy organ
sa same come. The California resident Chanelle Tapper, reveals that
(13:16):
she enjoys seeing people's reactions. There's a variety of bizarre
tricks she can perform with her extravagantly long tongue, ranging
from flipping cups to removing Jenga blocks and holding up
the spoon by curling her tongue around the utensil. Girl,
it's like an elephant tusk. It sort of so, yeah,
(13:38):
there's anyway. Yeah, well I was gonna say, if this
were gonna dude, everyone would be like, oh, what's the
guy look like? Wow, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter
what he looks like. It's National no housework Day, National
Beer Day, and National Coffee cake Day.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Today as well.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The Entertainment of Port Kalin has that next we'll get
some blogstar audio journals. Waiting by the food is brand
new wanted somebody to get go stip. We'll get to
the next to all in the next twenty minutes or so.
In the French show
