Fred's Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day Now.
The gym one is pretty common.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
So if I go to someone's work, if I if
I find out their schedule and I show up occasionally
when they're working because I want the exposure to them,
that's creepy, But I know a lot of people will
try and figure out when people work out and then
they'll show up at the same time work out the
only thing, and apparently that's not creepy.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
It's the same level of it. Creepy is not the word.
Do women like being approached in the gym?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Now? That would be my second thing is how many
you know, how many people man or for women are
prepared to be approached at the gym? And a lot
of people don't wear their rings when they're at the
gym because they're working out, so you don't you know,
that's usually my tell, but you don't know. And then
it's like, I'm working out, I haven't showered, I don't
look that good. Now, some people go to the gym
(01:28):
to meet someone, but you don't know the difference.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Wait, these gym outfits are set up, the little leggings
that you know, tighten everything on your body and show
off every curve. Yeah, it's like I think some people
really go for that reason, like look at.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Me, Yeah, that's why I know, that's why you go.
Oh yeah, But Kiki wears the boots with the fur
and actually Kiki is one of the few people I
know who works out in denim, which is make.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
My trainer, Gideon has been asking me about that, like,
how does she how is she able to say?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Fit in full denim head to toe. It is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
The flexibility is incredible. It's not a moisture, you know,
Is it a breathable fabric?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I don't know. I don't think it. No, No, I
don't think so. Headlines.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Guys, the Northeast is under flooding a flooding threat as
storms rolled through. Roughly fifty million people across the Northeast
are dealing with floodwatches with a risk of severe flash
flooding in some areas. Major cities like New York City, Washington,
d C, and Baltimore are facing flash flood warnings. Video
from Manhattan shows floodwaters rushing into a subway station as
passengers boarded a train. NYPD Transportation release the statement on
(02:38):
x saying that flooding would cause delays. Up to five
inches of rain has already fallen in parts of northern
and central New Jersey as well. They were brief ground
stops at New York airports yesterday. So flooding all over
the country. Elmo got hacked on AX. Oh no, no,
this is terrible. If you saw some of the things
Elmo was saying. Yeah, Now, I think I would have
pretty quickly realized it wasn't Elmo, because they Almo, I know,
(02:59):
wouldn't say somebody things. But Elma was definitely not tickled.
Almost verified x account, which has more than six hundred
and fifty thousand followers, was taken over by an unknown
hacker on Sunday. In a short burst of posts, the
hijack account shared anti semitic slurs, racist language, and strange
comments about former president well current President Donald Trump, and
(03:21):
Jeffrey Epstein. This is former president unless something happen I
don't know in the last hour, all written in Elmo's
usual third person style. Well, that was nice. They were
able to adapt it to the way that Elmo would
say it. Elmo is anti Semitic, Elmo is raising No,
he's not, He's terrible. ABC News in Sesame Street are
reporting that is disgusting and does not reflect Elmo's values.
(03:46):
So they were able to take the account back and
it wasn't really him. A lot of officers who are
doing this. Starbucks is the latest telling its office workers
to spend more time at their desks or take a buyout.
As the company pushes to revive lacking sales and store
it's in person culture. Starting in October, employees must be
in the office at least four days a week. The
CEO Brian Nichol, who was the former CEO of Chipotle,
(04:09):
he was the guy who was telling everyone to do
the head nod. When you can remember this, it was
like a year ago. Maybe it was a little longer
than that, but he'd say, you know, if you want,
he's kind of a good looking guy and he was
making videos and do interviews. He was like, you know,
if you want a little more, a little more salsa,
a little more peico, just you know, just give him
a head nod. So people were going to Chipotle and
be like, I'll take a little more guacamole.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Would like the wink and the head nods. And that
was his advice.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Though, so he says that you need to come four
days a week, or you can take a voluntary buyout,
which includes a cash payout if you opt to leave.
He framed the decision as an attempt to rebuild Starbucks
in person culture, arguing that face to face collaboration fuels
creativity and quicker problem solving, qualities he says are essential
as the company steaks a turn around. We do our
(04:54):
best work when we're together. Now, this guy got the ji.
I think he makes a hundred mill dollars a year
I saw the other day, so he's getting paid pretty well.
That's pretty good. And then I remember when he got
the job. He lives in California, but the headquarters is
in Seattle, so the company flies him on a jet
so that he can get to work. I don't know
if it's every day or every couple of days, but
(05:16):
part of his agreement with the company was, I'll you
could open me a little office in California, so I'm
in the office, and then they fly him on the
corporate jet to Seattle. Yeah, so I don't I don't
know how that's gonna work if he needs people to
be in the unless he's counting his California office the office,
I think, you know, collaboratively, he probably needs to be
(05:37):
in the Seattle headquarters. I don't know if that means
he has to move now or they're just going to
fly him in like you know, the rest of us
drive every day.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
That's insane. But I would imagine that.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
There's some employees using that as an argument, like wait
a minute, Brian.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Where's your office? Right?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Exactly exactly, But this is beginning to happen a lot
of places, Amazon, JP, Morgan, Chase, Google, Walmart, They're all
rolling back their pandemic a pandemic era flexibility. India's government
is seeking to limit the temperature settings of new air
conditioners to save electricity in the country that is considered
the fastest growing market for them. The Power Minister proposed
(06:12):
to rule in June requiring that air conditioners sold in
the country have thermostats that can be set to no
lower than sixty eight degrees. So here's my question. I mean,
sixty eight, that's pretty low. If as the low as
it goes, we'll really get that cold, I would wonder.
But then you know, what if I want sixty What
if I want sixty five? What if I'm in a
(06:33):
hotel room? Now, look, I realized it's extremely wasteful. But
the first thing that I get it we're trying to
save the environment here. But the first thing that I
do when I check into the Marriot is go all
the way down as far down as it will go,
all the way down, sixty five, sixty four, whatever it is.
I mean we're making that thing in ice box. That
is part of the luxury experience is I can turn
(06:54):
that thing all the way down. That little thing will
get so quick, go to Vegas all the way.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Down that yeah, because it's how Yes.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But sixty eight, I mean, it's sixty eight going to
be cold enough.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
But my house is at seventy and it's fine all
the time.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Seventy Yeah, you sleep with seventy degrees, oh cold, and
we have the fan on. Yeah there, I'd really work.
You sleep at seventy degrees.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
I just chocked at seventy right now? When is yours?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Fred?
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I'm scared as low as it will go, like sixty
five ish.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, that's not true because that's actually probably bad for
the air conditioner. I think I said it at sixty seven. Okay,
it doesn't get that, but it doesn't get that cold
because you know it's so hot outside. They tell you
can get maybe twenty degrees out of your air conditioner
from the outside temperature.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Got it twenty ish.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So if it's ninety and if I can, I mean,
but so if I put it at sixty seven, I
know it's working like that, but I can you know,
I can't get.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
My house to that.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
But it needs to be cold at not in the
sleepy time. It needs to be cold. There is nothing
worse than hot sleeping. I'm sorry, that is a that
would be a relationship ender.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You are tracked.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
If I met someone they're like, oh no, seventy degrees
seventy two. Absolutely, I'm sorry, nice meeting you. I'm gonna
go back to the gym now and creep on somebody
else and find somebody else that has you know, that's
that's a human and that some form of robot. Because
my thing about sleeping is if it's if it's cold
and you're in the bed, you can warm yourself off.
If it's hot, there is no reprieve, there's no way
(08:22):
around it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You're supposed to sleep in cold. It's better for you.
Thank you. Well, this is and that's why I do it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But this is no, this is this is not something
I could negotiate on, Like, this would be the end
of a relationship for me.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, and that's a bill that I don't even think
twice about, Like, just throw it in a bag. The
bill can be one hundred thousand dollars. At this point,
I don't care, like I'm not thinking twice about here.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'll figure it out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But for some reason growing up like that was a
thing in the house, like don't touch to.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
A c like, oh are you right now? Oh you
can't either.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I have to wait till it's eighty degrees in the
house to turn the air on. And then I text
Mike and I'm like, the dogs are really hot, like
the girls are panting. I think they're like really hot.
We should probably turn the air on. So he wants
it even hotter.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, he's like I work in the heat all day,
Like why do you guys get to sit in there?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
My design?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But once it goes on, it's on, like the whole summer.
It never comes off. So I'll take I'll take seventy.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Mechanic had to go to school upheal both ways in the.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Snow, yeah, lord.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And mental health experts reveal why some people cannot help
being late to everything Paulina Late. Experts say it might
not be laziness, but a condition called time blindness, and
that's where people genuinely struggle to estimate or manage time.
It's linked to eighty HD and other conditions like autism,
oh CD, depression, and anxiety. It's an executive function issue
(09:47):
affecting parts of the brain like prefrontal cortex and cerebellum.
Common science include underestimating task durations, frequent lateness, and difficulty
switching between activities. How to cope, experts say using timers,
building consistent daily routines, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and
setting external reminders all methods proven to reduce lateness.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We were just talking about this this morning. You have it.
You have time blindness.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I do, or I'd like to call it running on
Mexican time. Like when you know you're going to be
an hour late, you tell everybody to come at three
because the party's really at four, because you know everyone's
going to walk in at four.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You have a problem switching between tasks, like you're switching
all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I also except you forget to return with the previous task.
There you know you have you can pivot, but it's sometimes.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Do things gets done? Though?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Are things I think functioning?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Can you hear us right today? Yeah, I'm currently No,
that's true, he us, No, it's true. Yeah, I'm working
on me.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But I have add I got the whole thing, I
got all those Probably I'm working on me.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
If dinner's at seven thirty, we expect to see Pauline
at eight fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It just is.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It just is correct, So we don't even. But the
thing is, if I told you was at eight fifteen,
you chill. But nine, So like the whole thing about
I'd have to tell you is a five for you
to show.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Up at something? Oh that's what I meant. Yes, it
has to be the other way.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, And I think I'm getting a little tiny better
just because every kid. Yeah, a little tiny better because
ever since having a child, I feel like, you know,
we got to get to things, appointments, and I can't
miss though it was like baby stuff. So I'm like,
you know what, I like being on time now, it's
my new personality.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
My issue is not that I want to be late
or that I am not considered considerate of other people's time.
My issue is I don't I don't want to be
so early that I feel that I'm wasting time. I
want to arrive when it's time.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I don't like being somewhere ten minutes early and then
just standing around waiting. I feel like and then I
can I can't do anything like I'm not being productive.
So I try and do like one more thing, like oh,
that wall needs to be painted. I got ten minutes
I can do, you know, Like I try and do
one more thing at home. But the problem is, you
know you, it could take in a big city, it
(11:52):
could take the ten minutes that you that you think
it's going to take to get there, it could take
thirty minutes. And so sometimes I'll just cut, I'll just
suit the difference and say, Okay, I'm gonna get myself
fifteen and then it still takes thirty you know what
I mean. Like I never seem to hit it right,
but I'm always about five minutes late. I feel like
to like dinners and things in the evening because I'm
trying to get one more thing done.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, that's like me joining a teams meeting or a
zoom meeting. Like I'm not joining early, bro, I'm not
doing the whole.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I just want to talk to you for something like forgot.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I'm just gonna give it a couple more minutes to
make sure everybody joins. There's nothing more desperate sounding than that.
Let me just give this a couple more minutes, hoping
people shouldw up to my meaning, We're just gonna give
everybody a couple more minutes. Okay, well I should have
come out. I should have comment seven o four. Then
if we're gonna give but a couple more minutes, But
then if I come at seven oh four, we didn't
give everybody a couple more minutes, and the meeting has
(12:46):
already started.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now I'm late. You see, this is the story of
my life.

There's some employees using that as an argument, like wait

lower than sixty eight degrees. So here's my question. I mean,
sixty eight, that's pretty low. If as the low as

it doesn't get that, but it doesn't get that cold

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Got it twenty ish.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
So if it's ninety and if I can, I mean,

my thing about sleeping is if it's if it's cold
and you're in the bed, you can warm yourself off.
If it's hot, there is no reprieve, there's no way
(08:22):
around it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
You're supposed to sleep in cold. It's better for you.
Thank you. Well, this is and that's why I do it.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But this is no, this is this is not something
I could negotiate on, Like, this would be the end
of a relationship for me.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Yeah, and that's a bill that I don't even think
twice about, Like, just throw it in a bag. The
bill can be one hundred thousand dollars. At this point,
I don't care, like I'm not thinking twice about here.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I'll figure it out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
But for some reason growing up like that was a
thing in the house, like don't touch to.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
A c like, oh are you right now? Oh you
can't either.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
I have to wait till it's eighty degrees in the
house to turn the air on. And then I text
Mike and I'm like, the dogs are really hot, like
the girls are panting. I think they're like really hot.
We should probably turn the air on. So he wants
it even hotter.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Well, he's like I work in the heat all day,
Like why do you guys get to sit in there?
Speaker 6 (09:08):
My design?
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But once it goes on, it's on, like the whole summer.
It never comes off. So I'll take I'll take seventy.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Mechanic had to go to school upheal both ways in the.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Snow, yeah, lord.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
And mental health experts reveal why some people cannot help
being late to everything Paulina Late. Experts say it might
not be laziness, but a condition called time blindness, and
that's where people genuinely struggle to estimate or manage time.
It's linked to eighty HD and other conditions like autism,
oh CD, depression, and anxiety. It's an executive function issue
(09:47):
affecting parts of the brain like prefrontal cortex and cerebellum.
Common science include underestimating task durations, frequent lateness, and difficulty
switching between activities. How to cope, experts say using timers,
building consistent daily routines, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and
setting external reminders all methods proven to reduce lateness.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
We were just talking about this this morning. You have it.
You have time blindness.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I do, or I'd like to call it running on
Mexican time. Like when you know you're going to be
an hour late, you tell everybody to come at three
because the party's really at four, because you know everyone's
going to walk in at four.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
You have a problem switching between tasks, like you're switching
all the time.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I also except you forget to return with the previous task.
There you know you have you can pivot, but it's sometimes.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Do things gets done? Though?
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Are things I think functioning?
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Can you hear us right today? Yeah, I'm currently No,
that's true, he us, No, it's true. Yeah, I'm working
on me.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
But I have add I got the whole thing, I
got all those Probably I'm working on me.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
If dinner's at seven thirty, we expect to see Pauline
at eight fifteen.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
It just is.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It just is correct, So we don't even. But the
thing is, if I told you was at eight fifteen,
you chill. But nine, So like the whole thing about
I'd have to tell you is a five for you
to show.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Up at something? Oh that's what I meant. Yes, it
has to be the other way.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
Yeah, And I think I'm getting a little tiny better
just because every kid. Yeah, a little tiny better because
ever since having a child, I feel like, you know,
we got to get to things, appointments, and I can't
miss though it was like baby stuff. So I'm like,
you know what, I like being on time now, it's
my new personality.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
My issue is not that I want to be late
or that I am not considered considerate of other people's time.
My issue is I don't I don't want to be
so early that I feel that I'm wasting time. I
want to arrive when it's time.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
That's how I feel.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I don't like being somewhere ten minutes early and then
just standing around waiting. I feel like and then I
can I can't do anything like I'm not being productive.
So I try and do like one more thing, like oh,
that wall needs to be painted. I got ten minutes
I can do, you know, Like I try and do
one more thing at home. But the problem is, you
know you, it could take in a big city, it
(11:52):
could take the ten minutes that you that you think
it's going to take to get there, it could take
thirty minutes. And so sometimes I'll just cut, I'll just
suit the difference and say, Okay, I'm gonna get myself
fifteen and then it still takes thirty you know what
I mean. Like I never seem to hit it right,
but I'm always about five minutes late. I feel like
to like dinners and things in the evening because I'm
trying to get one more thing done.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yes, that's like me joining a teams meeting or a
zoom meeting. Like I'm not joining early, bro, I'm not
doing the whole.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
I just want to talk to you for something like forgot.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I'm just gonna give it a couple more minutes to
make sure everybody joins. There's nothing more desperate sounding than that.
Let me just give this a couple more minutes, hoping
people shouldw up to my meaning, We're just gonna give
everybody a couple more minutes. Okay, well I should have
come out. I should have comment seven o four. Then
if we're gonna give but a couple more minutes, But
then if I come at seven oh four, we didn't
give everybody a couple more minutes, and the meeting has
(12:46):
already started.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Now I'm late. You see, this is the story of
my life.
