Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fred's Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Somebody texted UH that they find the gym when they're,
you know, in a hotel room on vacation or whatever
and they're trying to conceal stuff. It's like, man, you're
really into fitness on this trip. You know me, I
gotta find the nearest treadmill everywhere I go, you know
what I'm saying. Now, I can see that. I can
(00:21):
also see the hotel lobby being very popular.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
That's where I was.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
And you guys, like I realize I'm the weirdo, Like
I get it. This is human, natural stuff and people
should be able to talk about it. And there's no
judgment from me if you do. I'm just a weirdo,
and I'm a weirdo about my own stuff, so your
stuff might even be easier for me to deal with it.
I'm just I go to the doctor, like I have
a stomach ache, like, well, what are your symptoms? I
(00:46):
don't know, my tummy hurts like, but what though, like
what hurts like? And then is this happening or that
happening or that maybe I don't know? Like why you
need to tell me what's wrong? You know, I'm a doctor.
I hear this all day. Is not gross, So I
need to see to hear it so I can give
you the what you need and you can get out
of here feel better. Yeah, I don't know, might tell
(01:06):
me it's yeah, but like, so what.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Do you think is gonna happen? Like, how could they help?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
I'm embarrassed, I'm bashful. I don't know why, Like, then
don't even go to the doctor. Well, I'm not gonna tell.
I mean, they can eventually coax it out of me. Okay,
it takes about forty five minutes. But you know that's
if you ever go to the doctor and the doctor's
like seven or eight appointments behind, it's because they're in
there trying to convince me to tell them what's wrong. Yeah.
And I used to think, like if I could hire
(01:31):
a doctor to come to my house and sit on
my couch, that maybe I'd be more comfortable telling them things.
But I don't think that's true either. Oh no, And
I don't know why, because I grew up like my
my parents were very open. It wasn't like it wasn't
a rigid or sort of proper environment. It wasn't like
we didn't talk about that stuff or whatever. It's I
just I've never been comfortable talking about bodily stuff and
(01:54):
so I don't know. I don't know. I just don't
And if I can't help you, then I don't know
how that information kind of it's me or you, like
you tell me about your hemorrhoids, kicky all the time.
It's like what it's like. But then I'm going down
there and we're doing fun stuff, and it's like, how
do you get that out of your mind? Right?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Oh, that's what that's what you feel like, it'll be weird.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
For I think, like if you're if we're getting too
detailed about the stuff that goes on down there, and
then it's like fun time. That's why they preserve the sexy,
you know. And then and then it's like, oh well
now I'm down here, and then oh but I remember
that from It's like oh yeah, okay, and then why
do we go to get over that? Like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I think I keep some things private, Like I think
that's okay.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, there you go, he's for by something. I mean,
everything you do, you it's fine, it's amazing. I don't
use the rest restroom at all. Actually, I actually had
a boss once who and there was a rumor about this,
and when someone said this to me, I realized it
was true. No one ever saw him use the restroom.
(02:51):
No one ever saw him go into a restroom, And
apparently he believed this was some kind of power play,
like he was infallible or something like it was a weakness.
He saw it as a weakness like when you're going
to the bathroom you're in like a week state or something,
or if you run into your coworkers in the bathroom,
it's like an awkward kind of equalizer, especially for men,
because we all kind of line up against the wall
(03:12):
for the YearIn. And I guess this dude had a
theory that like, my employees should like I'm the leader
and I'm the boss, and no one should ever see
me do like human things.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Now that's a whole new level.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, No, I saw my man. I never talked about it,
mister go over there, but it was like, I'm like,
you know what's funny is I've never seen like everyone
else that works here, I've seen in there at one
point or another in passing, never him, So I don't
know if that's a real thing. Memorial Day, of course,
is Monday, and fifty two percent of Americans think that
(03:43):
it's lost its original meaning. Only sixty percent say that
remembering America's fallen troops is the first thing that they
associated with now, and that includes forty eight percent of
gen z Or is nearly one point two million men
and women have given their lives over the past two
hundred and fifty years to put us in a place
where we can And this is that intended to be
a speech, by the way, but that's that's the point
of the day. And so if you would, you enjoy
(04:06):
your long weekend if you get one, but take a
second to remember why we're why we're having the weekend.
And I think I was talking to someone about this
this week. There was an article about saying happy Memorial Day,
and maybe that's not the right way to phrase it,
because you know, it's a somber remembrance, but yet a
reflection on the fact that we have these freedoms and
that we can sort of kick back and relax for
(04:26):
a few days. And we have a lot of people
to think for that and their families and current military
and I can go on and on. So maybe think
about that this weekend and that's my I'm off my
soapbox now.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But that was a good message. That was because people
don't remember.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
They just got like people on club flyers Memorial Day sales.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You know, Yeah, you come buy a couch.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You can get thirty percent off a mattress, which has
nothing to.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Do with the why's my grand daddy?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, I mean people are great. They do the same
thing for every other holiday. It's like because people are
off and they're more likely to be out and about
doing stuff, and it's all good. Like, you know, we
live in a great country and we do have the
ability to you know, eat some hot dogs and do
whatever this weekend. But that's the reason why we're doing it.
So and I think, honestly, I feel like a lot
of a lot of people, it's like three day weekend
and then we forget kind of why, yes, why we're
doing that. So the penny is going away officially, the
(05:14):
US mint will stop making new pennies within a year.
When is the last time that any of you physically
used a penny?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Oh, like a couple of days ago.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Stop it. Yeah, you carry change around in my car
and you're like my g dad, I called him g Dad.
He was oh yeah, he always had change in his pocket,
and well this is I mean he was alive and
more of a cash era, but he was the guy
that could do the math in his head really quickly.
So he'd get dollar bills back, you know. So let's
say it would be like, I don't know, the bill
(05:42):
was four dollars or three dollars and ninety eight cents
or whatever, so what would you do? Then he would
give like a he would give like a five and
two pennies and you get a dollar back. Or if
I did the math right on that off the top
of my head, because so that he could, I mean,
it was just like there's too much work.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
All the people love to do that.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, Like when I worked at KFC, I used to
get so annoyed, like, bro, let me just give you
the change, like come on.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
But the truth is I've probably lost thousands of dollars
worth of change over the course of my life because
especially now, if you go someplaces they give you a
bunch of change, like good luck using that somewhere else,
like you got to go to the bank or something.
You got to roll it up or go to one
of those grocery store things where they they give you
the money at at the end of it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, it goes in my car, like in the little
whatever change compartment. Yeah, and then when I'm going through
like a drive through or whatever, I'll give her or
him the exact change out of there, so they just
give me money.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Back like cash, see you Yeah, no, no, no, How long
do you think before cash goes away?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Because I just walk around taping this phone.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well that was the thing. I'm amazed at using cash
at all because I don't even I don't even know
if I have maybe twenty bucks in my wallet. I
don't know, because again, everything's everything's on the credit card,
and it gets wild.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You just tap tap tap tap like it's not it's
not real.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, it doesn't feel real, which.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'll say, it's not real. Or you go to a
website now, or you like an app, or you buy
something like I bought a couch the other day on
and it was Apple Pay. You bought a couch. Yeah,
I bought a couch. I know. Yeah, I've had it
right for what room like, Well, I've had I've had
the existing couch for fifteen years. I decided it was
time for a new couch. Yeah, I was just so nice.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's such a commitment. Well, who got the old one?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No one's got the old one? You want? You want
my old couch.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Maybe I don't know why. I mean, why were we
involved in anyway? I always time for a new thought.
After fifteen years, it was time for a new couch.
I don't know, a new look. I just thought it
was something.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So deep and beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
A new couch is cheaper, Wow, Jason, thank you. I'm
also I don't know who you were referring to, but
I'm I'm flattered. I don't know than a new couch
is cheaper than moving. You know, it's like I'm looking
for something different. So I'm like, I'll get a new
couch and and that's gonna cost me a lot less
(08:00):
and you know, finding a whole new living room.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well, I don't know why is it so exciting? I
think fifteen years is an acceptable period of time.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, it really is.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
It's just if I was buying a couch, I would
literally come in here and show each one of you
the couch before I made the commitment, because it's such
a commitment.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And you know, what's amazing. Is I'm donating the couch.
That's the current plans to donate the couches. Well, I mean,
if you want it, but I don't know what's gone down,
but I feel wasteful still buying myself a new couch
after fifteen years because it's like, there's nothing wrong with
this one, because there is nothing wrong with that one. Yeah,
it's just time for something different. But I'm like, for
(08:34):
like two weeks, I've been calling my mom, should get
a new couch. She'd get a new couch. Yeah, like what, Mom?
Is the there wrong with this one? You can get
a new It's fine, Like it's this isn't wasteful, Like
you're donating and then you've had this one for a
long time and you want a new look, So go ahead, yes,
go ahead and do it. I still call my mom
for permission, and I'm forty something years old. But yeah,
I'm sorry I didn't share that with you. I didn't.
I didn't think that was worthy of the air. But
(08:56):
my point is, I literally I buy the couch and
then it's like, do you want to pay for this
with Apple Pay? And it's Apple pay double click. I
own a couch, right, Yeah, thousands of done it in
two seconds. It's it's like ding, thank you there it is.
I own a couch like that's That's the part that's
dangerous for me. It really is is it doesn't feel
(09:17):
like a real money exchange money because if I have
to go into a store and tap the thing, at
least I had to like take the time. Okay, I'm
going to the store now and like I go buy
the thing and whatever. No, you can buy anything you
want like eBay or whatever. Else is just ding and
it's got ding here it comes. That's dangerous. It is
the shopping website, same way I live. Yeah, so the
(09:37):
penny's going away. And I don't know if anyone I
guess Jason's only on who's going to be affected negatively
by this?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I do my pennies.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The government says that there's going to be an above
average hurricane season. Scientists predict a busy twenty twenty five
Atlantic hurricane season thirteen to nineteen, name storms six to
ten becoming hurricanes three to five, reaching major strength with
winds over one hundred and eleven miles an hour warm
ocean waters. I know you're big on this, Jason, as
a I know your dream was to become a TV meteorologist.
(10:07):
I go, yeah, it still is, and so warm otion
waters as you know, weaker winds and an active African
monsoon are fueling the forecast, although it's not as extreme
as last year's. YELP has unveiled its top twenty five
burger chains in the US, and it goes as follows
in and out Burger, the Habit Burger Grill. I've never
(10:27):
been to the Habit Burger Grill. They pay for this spot,
you think so, Yeah, shink Shack, Culver's, and Islands restaurants. Hey,
I don't know what that is either. Honestly, maybe I've
been to an island. I don't think I have been
to an island's rest. I don't think I have. Freddy's
at number six. Now, if you haven't had Freddy's, it's
pretty good. It's an emerging chain coming out of the Midwest. Yeah,
(10:51):
I think it's out of Kansas or something like. And
of course I had to go. I drove by one
one time and I had to go because it's Freddy's.
I'm like, I got to go in there and it
was delicious. I recommend they're good.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeah, Yeah, it looks like habit Burger and girl is
on like the East coast and West coast. Nothing in
the middle of the country.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Kind of like in and out only on the West coast.
I guess yeah, And then I got five guys, a
bunch of a lot of I haven't heard of before.
Towards the bottom, though, staking shake checkers crawls you in
your Wendy's. At the bottom, A lot of people would
tell you Wendy's is the best fast food burger. I
would argue that it's five guys if you consider five
guys fast food, because I think five guys is slightly
(11:26):
elevated because it's expensive.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, my price, it's elevated by right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, But it's good and you could go in there
if you if you really wanted to, you can get
seventy eight toppings on the burger for the price I don't,
which is probably why I think it's really expensive. But
it's good. A guy tried to bring a stun gun
a board a flight, but it was a cane stun gun.
I know you could do this. I might start walking
to work with a cane. That's so cool. I might
(11:52):
start working. If you see if you see me, start
walking to work with a cane. Just know at the
end of it is a stun gun. Yeah right, and
if you make me mad. The TSA agent said Idaho
and airport in Idaho. They didn't say which one. They
just said at Idaho Airport. Well, I think there's more
than one, but anyway, they stopped a man from bringing
aboard a stun gun disguised as a cane. Scatters detected
(12:14):
that the cane had been tampered with. Inside was an
artificially concealed stun gun. The owner of the cane told
officers that they set out to buy a cane sword
for self defense, but couldn't find one, so they resorted
to buying a cane stun gun instead. You can bring
a stun gun tas or whatever on a planet has
to be check though in the check bags. You can't
(12:34):
bring it into the oh the cabin. I don't normally
do movie releases, but Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. A
lot of people have been talking about that. That's in
theaters this weekend. Did you see the video of Tom Cruise.
I guess he's been going to actual theaters and watching
the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Okay, that's not him.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You don't think it's him.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think that's like a robot or of faith, Tom.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Cruise, really, because I'll tell you this that there's one.
There's one like video I saw of him in movie
theater eating popcorn corn. Did you see this?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yes, I don't think it's Hits.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's holding a popcorn bucket and he's and whoever it is,
whatever it is, is he throwing popcorn at his mouth
and missing. And someone asked him in an interview, is
that how you eat popcorn? And he's like yeah, but
I wonder if that's I'm with you? Is that him
or a stun tumble or something like? Is he really
just out here going to these but he stood there
(13:25):
or he's like leaning up against the wall and he
has a bucket of popcorn in one hand and his
hands in the other, and instead of like a like
a normal person putting the popcorn in his mouth and
just eating it, he just tosses it like it towards
his mouth in the general direction it would hit his
face and bounce off.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh it's a robot, m h.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes, it's as if it was his first time with popcorn,
like a robot.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh, it was very very strange. Yeah, I don't know
what's going on with that, but that's in theaters and
Lelo would stitch too if you want to go see that.
Equal opportunity for everybody this weekend National road Trip Day

coming up to frend Show
The Fred's Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories of the Day.

that could do the math in his head really quickly.
So he'd get dollar bills back, you know. So let's
say it would be like, I don't know, the bill
(05:42):
was four dollars or three dollars and ninety eight cents
or whatever, so what would you do? Then he would
give like a he would give like a five and
two pennies and you get a dollar back. Or if
I did the math right on that off the top
of my head, because so that he could, I mean,
it was just like there's too much work.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
All the people love to do that.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, Like when I worked at KFC, I used to
get so annoyed, like, bro, let me just give you
the change, like come on.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
But the truth is I've probably lost thousands of dollars
worth of change over the course of my life because
especially now, if you go someplaces they give you a
bunch of change, like good luck using that somewhere else,
like you got to go to the bank or something.
You got to roll it up or go to one
of those grocery store things where they they give you
the money at at the end of it.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, it goes in my car, like in the little
whatever change compartment. Yeah, and then when I'm going through
like a drive through or whatever, I'll give her or
him the exact change out of there, so they just
give me money.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Back like cash, see you Yeah, no, no, no, How long
do you think before cash goes away?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Because I just walk around taping this phone.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well that was the thing. I'm amazed at using cash
at all because I don't even I don't even know
if I have maybe twenty bucks in my wallet. I
don't know, because again, everything's everything's on the credit card,
and it gets wild.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
You just tap tap tap tap like it's not it's
not real.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, it doesn't feel real, which.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
I'll say, it's not real. Or you go to a
website now, or you like an app, or you buy
something like I bought a couch the other day on
and it was Apple Pay. You bought a couch. Yeah,
I bought a couch. I know. Yeah, I've had it
right for what room like, Well, I've had I've had
the existing couch for fifteen years. I decided it was
time for a new couch. Yeah, I was just so nice.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's such a commitment. Well, who got the old one?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
No one's got the old one? You want? You want
my old couch.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Maybe I don't know why. I mean, why were we
involved in anyway? I always time for a new thought.
After fifteen years, it was time for a new couch.
I don't know, a new look. I just thought it
was something.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So deep and beautiful.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
A new couch is cheaper, Wow, Jason, thank you. I'm
also I don't know who you were referring to, but
I'm I'm flattered. I don't know than a new couch
is cheaper than moving. You know, it's like I'm looking
for something different. So I'm like, I'll get a new
couch and and that's gonna cost me a lot less
(08:00):
and you know, finding a whole new living room.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Well, I don't know why is it so exciting? I
think fifteen years is an acceptable period of time.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, it really is.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
It's just if I was buying a couch, I would
literally come in here and show each one of you
the couch before I made the commitment, because it's such
a commitment.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And you know, what's amazing. Is I'm donating the couch.
That's the current plans to donate the couches. Well, I mean,
if you want it, but I don't know what's gone down,
but I feel wasteful still buying myself a new couch
after fifteen years because it's like, there's nothing wrong with
this one, because there is nothing wrong with that one. Yeah,
it's just time for something different. But I'm like, for
(08:34):
like two weeks, I've been calling my mom, should get
a new couch. She'd get a new couch. Yeah, like what, Mom?
Is the there wrong with this one? You can get
a new It's fine, Like it's this isn't wasteful, Like
you're donating and then you've had this one for a
long time and you want a new look, So go ahead, yes,
go ahead and do it. I still call my mom
for permission, and I'm forty something years old. But yeah,
I'm sorry I didn't share that with you. I didn't.
I didn't think that was worthy of the air. But
(08:56):
my point is, I literally I buy the couch and
then it's like, do you want to pay for this
with Apple Pay? And it's Apple pay double click. I
own a couch, right, Yeah, thousands of done it in
two seconds. It's it's like ding, thank you there it is.
I own a couch like that's That's the part that's
dangerous for me. It really is is it doesn't feel
(09:17):
like a real money exchange money because if I have
to go into a store and tap the thing, at
least I had to like take the time. Okay, I'm
going to the store now and like I go buy
the thing and whatever. No, you can buy anything you
want like eBay or whatever. Else is just ding and
it's got ding here it comes. That's dangerous. It is
the shopping website, same way I live. Yeah, so the
(09:37):
penny's going away. And I don't know if anyone I
guess Jason's only on who's going to be affected negatively
by this?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I do my pennies.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
The government says that there's going to be an above
average hurricane season. Scientists predict a busy twenty twenty five
Atlantic hurricane season thirteen to nineteen, name storms six to
ten becoming hurricanes three to five, reaching major strength with
winds over one hundred and eleven miles an hour warm
ocean waters. I know you're big on this, Jason, as
a I know your dream was to become a TV meteorologist.
(10:07):
I go, yeah, it still is, and so warm otion
waters as you know, weaker winds and an active African
monsoon are fueling the forecast, although it's not as extreme
as last year's. YELP has unveiled its top twenty five
burger chains in the US, and it goes as follows
in and out Burger, the Habit Burger Grill. I've never
(10:27):
been to the Habit Burger Grill. They pay for this spot,
you think so, Yeah, shink Shack, Culver's, and Islands restaurants. Hey,
I don't know what that is either. Honestly, maybe I've
been to an island. I don't think I have been
to an island's rest. I don't think I have. Freddy's
at number six. Now, if you haven't had Freddy's, it's
pretty good. It's an emerging chain coming out of the Midwest. Yeah,
(10:51):
I think it's out of Kansas or something like. And
of course I had to go. I drove by one
one time and I had to go because it's Freddy's.
I'm like, I got to go in there and it
was delicious. I recommend they're good.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Yeah, Yeah, it looks like habit Burger and girl is
on like the East coast and West coast. Nothing in
the middle of the country.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Kind of like in and out only on the West coast.
I guess yeah, And then I got five guys, a
bunch of a lot of I haven't heard of before.
Towards the bottom, though, staking shake checkers crawls you in
your Wendy's. At the bottom, A lot of people would
tell you Wendy's is the best fast food burger. I
would argue that it's five guys if you consider five
guys fast food, because I think five guys is slightly
(11:26):
elevated because it's expensive.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, my price, it's elevated by right.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, But it's good and you could go in there
if you if you really wanted to, you can get
seventy eight toppings on the burger for the price I don't,
which is probably why I think it's really expensive. But
it's good. A guy tried to bring a stun gun
a board a flight, but it was a cane stun gun.
I know you could do this. I might start walking
to work with a cane. That's so cool. I might
(11:52):
start working. If you see if you see me, start
walking to work with a cane. Just know at the
end of it is a stun gun. Yeah right, and
if you make me mad. The TSA agent said Idaho
and airport in Idaho. They didn't say which one. They
just said at Idaho Airport. Well, I think there's more
than one, but anyway, they stopped a man from bringing
aboard a stun gun disguised as a cane. Scatters detected
(12:14):
that the cane had been tampered with. Inside was an
artificially concealed stun gun. The owner of the cane told
officers that they set out to buy a cane sword
for self defense, but couldn't find one, so they resorted
to buying a cane stun gun instead. You can bring
a stun gun tas or whatever on a planet has
to be check though in the check bags. You can't
(12:34):
bring it into the oh the cabin. I don't normally
do movie releases, but Mission Impossible, The Final Reckoning. A
lot of people have been talking about that. That's in
theaters this weekend. Did you see the video of Tom Cruise.
I guess he's been going to actual theaters and watching
the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Okay, that's not him.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
You don't think it's him.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I think that's like a robot or of faith, Tom.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Cruise, really, because I'll tell you this that there's one.
There's one like video I saw of him in movie
theater eating popcorn corn. Did you see this?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Yes, I don't think it's Hits.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
He's holding a popcorn bucket and he's and whoever it is,
whatever it is, is he throwing popcorn at his mouth
and missing. And someone asked him in an interview, is
that how you eat popcorn? And he's like yeah, but
I wonder if that's I'm with you? Is that him
or a stun tumble or something like? Is he really
just out here going to these but he stood there
(13:25):
or he's like leaning up against the wall and he
has a bucket of popcorn in one hand and his
hands in the other, and instead of like a like
a normal person putting the popcorn in his mouth and
just eating it, he just tosses it like it towards
his mouth in the general direction it would hit his
face and bounce off.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Oh it's a robot, m h.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Tom Cruise.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Yes, it's as if it was his first time with popcorn,
like a robot.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Oh, it was very very strange. Yeah, I don't know
what's going on with that, but that's in theaters and
Lelo would stitch too if you want to go see that.
