Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
There's beef.

Speaker 1 (00:04):
There's beef between Bill Belichick and CBS, and they call
his ass out.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Former New England Patriots.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Coach Bill Belichick is calling on CBS Sunday Morning for
what he says was a selectively edited interview that created
a false narrative about his girlfriend, Jordan Hudson controlling the conversation.
Belichick says he only agreed to do the interview to
promote his new book, The Art of Winning, and had
made it clear through his publisher that he didn't want
to discuss personal topics. But when the interviewer asked about

(00:35):
how he met Hudson, who was twenty four to his
seventy three, she cut in off camera.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
And said, we're not talking about this.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
CBS News then responded to that and said, hey, there
were no preconditions for this conversation, and that was confirmed
more than once. So they tried to say the interviewer
was unprofessional, which that is very uncool, by the way,
that is really uncool for them to be like because
the whole statement, which is on the universe in North
Carolina's website Official Communications website, is long and it basically

(01:04):
says that he was unprofessional for going there, when in
fact they had cleared this multiple times that he could
in fact ask that question. So apparently he was never
told he couldn't. This is starting to be and now
there are people who are friends with him, Charles Barkley,
of all people, Charles Barkley. Okay, there's a guy who's
amazing on television, was an incredible basketball player, not necessarily

(01:25):
known to have the greatest off camera reputation, and he's
even saying on camera about someone else's personal life.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
That guy's a friend of mine.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'm worried about him, and I'm going to call him
and see if he's okay. There's an elder abuse type
narrative going around now, like apparently allegedly his family's even worried.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
About him after they saw that her eyes are.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Also I mean, I don't want to speculate, but she
got crazy eyes. But if I'm an interviewer and your
relationship is a topic of conversation and your girlfriend is
right off camera, you've already made the interview thirty minutes
late because you have formed out and expected Bill, who
I'm interviewing, to follow you I'm allowed to comment on
what's going on. Don't bring her if you don't want
to talk about it and wear a button down.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Jesus, I guess what was seen on camera was only
one of many instances of her being upset or stopping
it or to your point, leaving the interview, or trying
to control the narrative. I mean, who is this woman?
He literally it's Bill Belichick. The guy knows how to
conduct himself. He's won whatever, six Super Bowls or something like.
He's the greatest football coach, professional football coach ever. Undisputedly,

(02:31):
no one argues that he knows how to do this.
He knows how to say nothing. Bill Belichick, of all people,
is the expert of saying nothing. So I don't understand,
like it's bad. I'd be so embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
Time me in on football questions to one of the
greatest coaches, like football questions Jordan.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Bill Belichick, who's now the head coach at UNC, says
that the final eight minute segment didn't reflect the full
thirty five minute interview, which mostly covered football and not
his personal life.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
So she made him dress up like a sailor for
Halloween two, and she was a Mermaid, and I think
that's worse.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
I had a good look, like, what are you What
is going on? Are you trying to control him? Do you?
You're twenty four years old, Like you might be a
lovely person, but you don't know everything about everything. I mean,
I know, I thought I did when I was twenty four,
but I mean it would take an elder like I
don't know, say Bill Belichick, to tell me, hey, know
your role here?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay, but I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
He must that thing must he must think that thing
is like no other thing he's ever had before, because
it's honestly going to blem it. It's gonna put a
blemish on this guy's reputation her Instagram.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
She's wearing all his rings, she's every item of clothing,
says like Belichick, like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
It's turning me off, very odd. Yeah, I'm surprised. I'm
surprised that he would go for this.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
But an unidentified man fell from twenty one feet the
right field wall in Pittsburgh. I guess has happened yesterday
at PNC Park during the seventh inning of the Pirates
and the Cut game.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
This was last night.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Actually, players from both teams took a knee while medical
personnel attended to the injured man.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
This is a crazy story.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
All eleven Syracuse high school lacrosse players have turned themselves
in over a hazing scandal that's happening there. Eleven students
in the West Hill High School in Syracuse, New York
have surrendered to authorities following a severe hazing incident involving
younger members of the school's boys lacrosse team. The students
were given a forty eight hour ultimatum by the district

(04:28):
attorney there to turn themselves the interface felony kidnapping charges.
All have since been charged of misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment. This
guy condemned the act as hazing on steroids, emphasizing its
criminal nature and potentially serious that could have caused serious harm.
He noted that the victim that was not physically injured
may suffer long term emotional trauma. He also highlighted the

(04:50):
danger of such actions being misinterpreted by law enforcement, potentially
leading to tragic consequences. In response to the incident, the
high school, the West Hills Central School, has canceled the
remainder of the varsity boys lacrosse season, starting today, if
you're playing in Southwest, you might enjoy some extra legroom.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
I guess you can buy that.

Speaker 1 (05:09):
I'm not I forgot all the changes they made, except
for the fact that you'll have to pay for luggage
starting later this month. Your bags don't fly free anymore.
Why forgot to peel those stickers off there? We talked
about this like two months ago.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
I don't know why ed it didn't know so soon
I'm traveling what in like three.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Weeks, your bags will not fly free. My friends, then
they're not coming with me. Then they're not coming with you.
Oh yeah, I mean that's.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
The thing about Southwest, and you know, shout out to Southwest.
You know, nice airline, nice people. I have friends that
work there.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
I do.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
But you know, the whole thing used to be it
was less expensive than every It was notoriously love. It
was always going to be less than everybody else, as
much as half the price.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
But then it wasn't gonna be that fancy.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
You know. It was kind of a cattle call to
get on the plane. But your bags were free, and
they'd give you a drink and some peanuts, and they'd
tell you a joke, sing a little song, you know,
or whatever, and you get to El Paso just fine, yeah,
or wherever you were going.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Giant school bus in the air, right, But now.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
You're telling me it's going to be the same or
more than everybody else, which it tends to be. Now,
my bags aren't free, so I can't really necessarily say, well,
I'm saving on that.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Now I have assigned seats.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
I don't know. I don't know if I like it.
I think a lot of people don't like it, like
a lot of people. Oh and I you know, used
to be able to move your flights around without paying
for that and all kinds of I don't know if
they've changed that. But no, Speaking of flying, flat attendants
are warning that the free or complimentary blankets that are
giving giving out on planes are gross and disgusting. They

(06:33):
have stuff like hair, food, mold, and bodily fluids in them.
One flight attendant of twenty years admitted, but not even
flight attendants want to touch the blankets. They've seen passengers
use these things to clean up spills, messes, wipe their noses,
gather toenail clippings. Oh, how often these blankets get washed
depends on the type of flight. Now, I guess if

(06:53):
you're like bougie and you're on an international flight or
you have like a nice you know, business class seat
or whatever, if it's in a plastic bag, then you
I guess, or to assume that it has been sanitized
at least washed in hot water, and you can use those.
But on domestic flights, this woman says, I've had blankets
on my flights that we were instructed to just refold
and put back in the bin.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
That's another thing.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
If the blanket's touching the overhead bin h without any
kind of barrier. I mean, think about that, like, think
about I mean, we should probably go home and be
lisoling our bags if you think about it, because if
you stick that thing up there, then you just move
on like everybody's everything from their house and whatever all
over the bag and it goes up. And I mean,

(07:36):
I think that's one of those things where you know,
as a germophobe, I have to let Jesus take the
wheel in certain in certain situations. You know, I'm I
don't get too germany about hotels unless I can see
nasty stuff. I just I can't. You just can't get
you can't get be germophobic on a plane. I mean
you can, but like there's just no point because you've surrendered,
Like as soon as you walk in that little tube,

(07:57):
you've surrendered. Like they will never get the humanity off
of a plane after the first time that it flew
with people on it, not to mention twenty years later.
So there's just no I see people get on planes
and like wipe everything down.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I mean, you're just taking one layer off, you know.
I mean unless unless you have some kind of like.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
NASA Elon Musk Katie Perry kind of sanitation thing that
you can spray the thing down with, like some kind
of nuclear thing. I don't think you're ever getting the
filth off of the airplane. No, But then for some reason,
I get grossed out about pooping at my friend's houses.
So I don't know, which is probably far cleaner than
the airplane I set on to get to said friend's house.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
There's a girl named Maya.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
She's seventeen years old, and she suffered thousands of jellyfish
stings during a fourteen hour, twenty seven miles swim crossing
the Cook Strait, which separates New Zealand's North and South Islands.
It's just one more step forward on her ultimate goal
at age seventeen, of becoming the youngest person to complete
the Ocean's seven a series of brutal open waters, swims

(09:00):
around the globe, and I can barely run a mile.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
So there's that. That's a good story.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
She was fourteen hour, twenty seven miles and that's just
one part of it. And thousands of jellyfish stings. What
are you trying? Is that what you got to do to
get into college? Now you're gonna put that in your
college resume that you did that. And an overturned truck
lost its load of eight million dimes, which is eight

(09:26):
hundred thousand dollars worth of change. The Texas Department of
Public Safety said the eight wheeler rolled on his side.
The truck had gone off the road and the driver overcorrected,
causing the vehicle to overturn. The driver and a passenger
were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The highway
was closed for several hours while they tried to clean
up all the change. But they were dimes all over
the road. I would have gotten out in the car
and just scooped them all up, gotten me a good

(09:49):
eight to ten dollars something like that. I mean, it's
a lot of dimes, eight hundred thousand dollars worth of
dimes all over the thing. It says School Principal's Day,
and it's Silver Star Service Spanner Day, a day for
Americans Members service members who have been wounded in combat.
Let's get to the entertainment report, next blogs coming up.
Waiting by the phone on the way too. It's The
Friend Show.
