Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Of the Day. I swear I'm not high, but like
the words coming out of my mouth make sense to me.
But now I'm wondering, like, am I is what's happening
in my head and not what's coming out of my mouth?
Like that tends to happen sometimes, or my brain goes
ten times faster than the words can actually come out
of my mouth. That's another thing. But people were like,
I don't know, like someone's texting. I listened to the
whole show. I have no idea what you're talking about.
It's a show on HBO. It's called The Rehearsal. Watch it.
(00:25):
It's hard to describe, but it's about a social experiment.
Are you okay, Jason? My allergies are hurting my nose.
But yeah, we're really like we're fighting for our lives
here this morning. Yeah, like we really are. Okay, all right, Okay, good,
I'm glad. I'm going to watch the rehearsal. You should,
you should? All right? Headlines this morning Biggest stories of
(00:47):
the day. Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred removed Pete
Rose and shoeless Joe Jackson and other deceased players in
the league's permanently ineligible list. The ruling allows Rose, Jackson
and others to now be eligible election into the Baseball
Hall of Fame, which is sad because a lot of
people believe that Pete Rose should have been in the
Baseball Hall of Fame despite betting on his own team
(01:09):
or betting related to his team when he was the manager.
But now he's dead and so he won't get to
see that. He said that the MLB's punishment of banned
individuals ends upon their deaths because they no longer represent
a threat to the integrity of the game. Rose was
banned in eighty nine after an MLB investigation determined that
he bet on games while the manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
(01:31):
Jackson and seven other Chicago White Sox players were banned
for life in nineteen twenty one after it was determined
that they fixed the nineteen nineteen World Series, so roseen Jackson,
and the other players would be eligible for the Hall
of Fame. He in a twenty twenty eight all of sudden,
Bill Belichick on ESPN or ACC Network or whatever he
was ESPN maybe the same thing, and he's got something
(01:54):
to say about why he's got nothing to say something
and nothing to say at the same time, Georgian girlfriend
has nothing to do with you NC football. I know
that you're aware that your relationship with Jordan Hudson has
been a headline.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
How do you think that that impacts your ability to
coach this football team if at all? Yeah, I mean
that's you know, really off.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
To the side.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's a personal relationship and she doesn't have anything to
do with UNC football. I'm excited to be back in
the coaches meetings and getting ready for you know, June
and then August when we get the training camp, so
she will be a big recruiting month for us, and
then August we'll start gett ready for the season.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Someone has coached him, he has received proper pr assistance.
Oh yeah that yeah, I don't know anything about that,
but I'll tell you excited about the season. Yes, georg
Geord Doane. She had nothing to do. What are you
talking about it that one? Nah, she didn't do anything.
But I'll tell you what, I'm excited about the season.
And then she circled back and was like yeah, yeah, cool,
(02:51):
but like wait a minute, what about And he was
just like yeah, yeah, personal I don't know, that's a
very different story than I think she was very involved
in everything you were doing. But man, the theories about
how they met are all over the internet, and I
don't know, you know where people are coming up with
some of this stuff. But the fact that they won't
just be more direct about how they met is puzzling
(03:13):
because because the other way, if it happened the way
that they initially said, we met on a plane, well
then just say that we met on a plane. That's it.
There's nothing to the story. But anytime, I feel like
any celebrity or anybody when you ask him a question
and they go, oh, what, we'll look over there, Well,
why why am I looking over there? Right? You know?
What's the real story? The Karen Reid trial, which Canen
(03:33):
and I are actually were auditioning to work for Court
TV to cover this, was paused yesterday due to unavoidable circumstances.
Now I know that I was saying the other day
that I and I think you agree Kalin, if you're
following any of this, or if you watch the documentary
about the first case, I do not think she did this.
I do not think she I think somebody else I
think somebody inside that house did something and they're trying
(03:54):
to pass it off under her. I'm not necessarily saying
it was nefarious, but there's so there was so many
shady details and the fact that the matter is you
got all the cops on one side, because they were
all police officers. And if you don't know anything about this,
you can go watch There are a number of documentaries.
I think what we would determine it was Hulu. Yeah
it No, it was Max, it was was it? Yeah,
(04:15):
there's a documentary about the first trial, which it was
a mistrial. I can say that because she's in court now. However,
it's been going very poorly in my opinion, for the prosecution,
and there are just there's just more and more evidence
coming out, video and all the stuff that is unexplainable.
People are where they said they weren't. People are doing
things they said these cops are are places they said
(04:36):
they weren't. That they're doing things they said they weren't doing.
They're doing other things than what they were doing. Why
were they in certain rooms at three in the morning
in the police department. Why were they, you know, in
the same garage as her car. There was evidence but
it's crazy. My favorite was the two cops saying that
they called each other in the middle of the night.
Right they say that they both butt dialed each other.
There was never really a phone call, and each of
(04:58):
their butts dialed the other and there was no phone conversation. Like, okay, well,
and the lawyer of the attorney who we we've said
that we Alan Jackson. His name is Alan Jackson, not
the very much alive country singer. But this guy, yeah,
both beautiful men. He's I think he's a very good attorney.
(05:18):
And but but these cops think they're smarter than him.
And that's what's funny. Like the guy that has been
on the stand in the last couple of days, like
he won't answer a question, but and he thinks he's slick.
But it's like, you're not smart, dude, You're a thug.
Will get you like you're a thug, like you're an
I don't, I don't know, I don't know what, I
don't know. I don't we call like you think you're
(05:39):
smarter than this guy, You're not. You look stupid. No,
Alan's gonna get you every which way. Something is going
on here, And I really don't think she did it.
At the worst she did it and doesn't know because
and I don't even think that's possible, honestly, But nonetheless
it was. It was paused yesterday, and so immediately speculation
was that they were going to drop the charges because
(05:59):
it's so poorly for the prosecution so far. But no,
Apparently Karen Reid was sick couldn't make it to Cord.
She's accused of hitting and killing her boyfriend with her
SUV in January of twenty twenty two after night of drinking.
The defense claims that she was framed. If she wasn't framed,
I don't know why everyone's lying. I don't know why
everyone's lying. I don't know why obvious evidence has been destroyed.
(06:22):
I don't know why cell phones have been destroyed and
thrown away on a military basis. I don't know why
people are where they said they weren't. I don't know
a dog why is ring camera footage all erased? Because
I'm telling you, if something happens in my house and
I have nothing to do with it, I'm providing them
with all everything. If there's nothing shady going on, I
would preserve all that. I would be like no, no,
(06:43):
no, no no. Here's the ring cam, here's my phone, here's
my GPS where my car was. I was in bed,
you know, with halle Berry and the forty five dollars
loub that she's trying to sell. I was there with
I'm trying to prove I'm giving him everything I can
and instead they destroyed all that stuff. Why right? And
the judge has ties to the cops. They call her
(07:05):
aunt bev I knowing that shouldn't be allowed. That's another thing.
I don't think she did it. But anyway, it was
paused yesterday, and there was for a moment I was like, okay, good, good,
We're done with this, Like they just they give given up.
They're going to plea out or something. And I don't
know that she'll take any plea at this point. She shouldn't.
There's certainly nothing that would put her in jail. But
Spirit Airlines Skiking, Yeah, they're offering premium upgrades like more
(07:29):
leg room, first Class Spirit yep, the big seat. Yeah.
The option will be extra leg room seating and two
free check bags for its elite members. According to the airline,
the new seating will begin being installed in June. We'll
roll out across the majority of the fleet by July.
Two free check bags will roll out later this year,
and they're embrace of premium option reflects a larger trend
(07:53):
in the airline industry after the airline exited bankruptcy in March.
You see that Southwest two free bags for their elite members,
which I know you are. Yes, I'll tell you what.
If I get on a Sphy won't be But if
I get on a Spirit plane, if I somehow accidentally
wind up on Spirit and I don't see you, and
I see you on there and you're not in the
first class of Spirit, we have a problem. I think.
So you represent this brand, okay, and this brand is
(08:15):
this brand is very much Spirit, but its first class
discount airline. Yes, front we are front row of the
discount airline. That's what we are, our favorite airline. Yes, yeah, okay, good,
I'm glad to run the same page. The infamous Menendez brothers,
Eric and Lyle are now eligible for parole after more
than thirty years behind bars. This was a big story
(08:35):
late last year. It was kind of almost as slam
dunk and the DA lost the election as a new DA,
but an LA judge has just reduced their life without
parole sentences to fifty years to life thanks to California's
Youthful Offender Law. And if you remember, these two were
convicted back in nineteen ninety six of the eighty nine
shotgun murders of their wealthy parents in Beverly Hill. Supporters
say the brothers have changed mentoring inmates, earning college degrees.
(08:59):
The DA not buying it, saying they haven't fully accepted responsibility.
June thirteenth is their parole hearing date. The EPA, the
Environmental Protection Agency administrator, has hinted that he's going to
roll back a feature that every driver hates. If you
have a relatively new car, can you think of a
feature that comes to mind first and foremost that you
(09:20):
can't stand, Kiki, it's the turning off. Look, there's these
cars that just turn off when you stop. Yes, and
that's what this is. And he says start stop technology
or is it a lead zelden versus a not familiar
start stop technology where your car dies at every red light?
So companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it.
Everyone hates it, so we're fixing it. The feature kills
(09:43):
internal combustion engines at red lights, and has been touted
by proponents for being able to conserve fuel and cut
down on pollution. Critics have questioned whether the feature can
wear down the car's battery or engine more quickly. A
woman has been arrested on suspicion of a Dollar General
store what but after doing so, she had to come
(10:05):
back and retrieve her phone because she left it there.
The thirty four year old woman allegedly entered the store
carrying a firearm and demanded money. She then got into
a fight with an employee and dropped her phone before
fleeing the scene with an undisclosed amount of money. AH
says we're hones scene investigating when the woman came back
and said, hey, can I get my cell phone? She
was then arrested in charge with one count of armed robbery.
(10:27):
I would say at that point, maybe we just leave
the cell phone behind. You just sold a bunch of money.
You can get a new phone. And A woman who
works as a professional circus performer broke a Guinness World
record when she hung by her hair for twenty five
minutes and eleven seconds. She broke the record while hanging
from a tree at the Redwood National and State Parks
(10:48):
in California. I haven't seen their TikTok. The woman practiced
for two years to build up the endurance to break
the previous record of twenty three minutes in nineteen seconds,
which was set in twenty eleven. She said her goal
of attempting to break the world record was to prove
that anything can be done with the power of the mind.
She hung by her own hair for over twenty five minutes. Oh,
(11:10):
I can't yet, I don't. I'm surprised it doesn't just
rip out right, nohead. It's National Third Shift Workers Day.
Shout out National Receptionist Day today, shout out to you
