Speaker 1 (00:40):
Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day. Hi guys, it's my calling.
The Powerball jackpot.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
It's expected to climb to seven hundred and fifty million
dollars for tonight's drawing after no single player match, all
numbers drawn on Saturday. The prize will rank as the
tenth largest in lottery's history. And then Kiki Yes I'll
break you off a little bit. You can just go
ahead and the race all those emails.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Okay, well you say a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Gard from scratch, a little bit of seven Well.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Tonight, sure, I has an estimated cash value of three
hundred and thirty eight point six million dollars. Now we've
done this exercise before, because if you remember, back in
the day, we did all the math on this when
it got up to like two billion or whatever it was,
and then you wind up taking like seventeen bucks in
a coupon for subway or something, which I go because
it's like, you know, you don't get all of it.

(01:29):
The lottery takes a bunch of it, and then and
then the taxes get to it and before long. So
I don't I think that that's not even the tax number.
I think thirty three hundred and thirty eight point six million.
You pay cash on that, or you pay tax on that,
so basically you get I think a couple hundred million bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's just you know whatever, I can live on them.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I don't know how much longer I have to live,
So it's fine. I can live on two hundred million bucks,
So yeah, break you off enough that you know, y'all
be comfy.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't like to pay taxes? Is there another option?

Speaker 4 (01:59):
You don't say, I'm getting seven hundred and fifty million
dollars and in his three what least.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
That's the least surprising information I've heard this morning, is
that you don't like to pay taxes. So, yeah, seven
fifty so that sounds good. It's just not as good
as you want.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
It to be. No, but two hundred mil.

Speaker 5 (02:18):
That's perfect.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
You know, invest that you'll make a little on that.
You know, you can buy some stuff, make some people's
lives better.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
How do I know how to invest?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Like?

Speaker 5 (02:25):
Where do I invest it?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
You got to go to a guy. And you're going
to have a guy.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Trust a guy in a suit to challenge you?

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Trust?

Speaker 2 (02:31):
You trust a guy? Well, it depends on the guy.
You wouldn't just go to any guy. You got to
have a guy.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
I got a guy, so good, Yeah, Paulina.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Una, say, I got a guy who his friend's guy.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
You just to use my guy, didn't you?

Speaker 5 (02:42):
Yes to the stars and Paulina row.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
No, no, no, no, he's the guy to my parents,
he's there's no stars.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
I don't Yeah, you know he told me, He's like
I've been with the family for years, right, And I
was like, you know what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Probably he's probably sealing from all of us. I have
no idea. I just give it. I get it to him.

Speaker 7 (03:00):
You literally, you guys go here's like, you know my money. Yeah,
here's some money, and do with it what you must.
And then I don't know what.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, you know, because you can you go into the account.
You can look and see what they're doing. Like I
can see what he's buying and selling, and I can
see it. But you know, I can see that I'm
making money. I can see that I'm doing better. You know,
then a check far better than a checking account.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
So it is the guy.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
He's the guy, and my grandfather loved him, and my grandfather,
you know, for thirty years sent in front of his
computer every day and thought it was his job to
oversee this guy with the who's the guy. We're not
even talking about that much money, but this dude. The
reason I stick with this dude is because he was
patient enough to take my grandfather's calls like three times
a week.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
With my my grandfather.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
No, I'm sure he didn't. My grandfather didn't have a job,
you know, he's retired. So he'd go his little desk
and he'd sit down every morning he'd look at all
of his investments and then he would call Chad and
be like, I don't know about this, Chad, and Chad
would patiently tell him why he did what he did,
and then you know, a couple of days later we
do it again.

Speaker 7 (03:53):
That would be me like, I'm I'm not cheap, but
like I would want to see what's going on with
my money.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
When my grandfather died in his little office, we found
like he had a computer, but he like wrote everything down.
He had a little notebook and he would like, oh yeah, yeah.
He was a cute man. But so that's why I
stick with Chad because my grandfather liked him, and so
I'm fine with him. But you need a guy long
answer your question. You get a guy, not just any guy,
but you get a guy that's someone else trusts.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay, And then you got a guy.

Speaker 7 (04:19):
Because people are always talking about investing and I'm like,
where do I go like to invest and what do
I invest?

Speaker 2 (04:24):
It's hard for us because we have to make money first,
but then once we do someday.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Guy this yeah crazy.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
They need to teach that in school.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yeah yeah, you know, all this X y plus minus
algebra stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
We don't need that. We need to learn how to
talk to the guy.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I'll tell you would while ago.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I know I've told the story before, but Mark Cuban,
back when it was like two hundred and two billion
or whatever it was that the largest jackpot.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
This is three or four years ago, whenever that was.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Mark Cuban gets on there and says, hey, just so
you know, when you win this stuff, you don't become
Shark Tank Like, don't think that because you've got all
this money now that you should start doling it out
to every business idea that you think is legitimate, Like,
don't become that guy.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
You'll go broke.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
And I think a lot of people are like, well,
I would invest in businesses, and I would invest in
real estate and strip malls. I would just say, but
if you don't know what you're doing, you're gonna lose it. Like,
you know, they make it look on Shark Tank like
they're just oh, that's a good idea. Here's you know,
a ton of money. But this has all been vetted
ahead of time. And I think what people don't know
about Shark Tank is it gets vetted afterwards too. A
lot of those deals don't close because what they say

(05:26):
in the presentation may not be true because then they
have a team that goes in and digs in to
make sure everything they said was real. So they make
it look so easy, like, oh, I'm gonna buy a
scrub daddy. Man, Yeah, that's a good idea. Here's a
gazillion dollars.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
I love my scrub daddy.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And then you make a gazillion dollars. That was easy. Well,
I'll just do that on the next one. But you
got it.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Like, they don't all work out like that, but they're
all gonna work like that for us.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yes they are. And I like to see my money
sit in my account.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
That's my problem, right, Like I don't you know people
like invest in this or put a little money here.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I don't like to. I like to see it all
just sit there. Well, that's like.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
The best days of the year is when the direct
deposit hits on a Friday and then they don't pull
any of the money out until Monday because you like
the bills or whatever. If it hits at like five
o'clock on Friday, and then the bank I don't know,
like on my my bank, for example, it doesn't update
until Monday, what came out or what I mean, I
don't know why on the weekend it doesn't do it
like there's no one that had processed it or something.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I didn't realize we were doing this in my hand.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
But all I know is on Friday, I have all
this money because none of the bills came out yet.
And then on Monday it's like, you know, insufficient funds.
But all weekends I'm flush.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
I'm getting guak.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
In right exactly, watched Extra you know what. I knew
that when I ordered it, and I didn't care. Lyle
Menendez he's not leaving jail anytime soon either. Lyle like
his brother Eric, were convicted for the nineteen eighty nine
murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez in Beverly Hills.
After serving decades in prison, both brothers became eligible for

(06:57):
parole following re sentencing to fifty years to if. Eric's
parole hearing on Thursday was denied, with the board citing
his history of prison rule violations and the severity of
the crime. The next day, Lyle face the parole board
and his hearing concluded with a similar outcome. Both brothers
were denied parole for three years, but may request an
administrative review in one year. This is crazy because a

(07:18):
year ago or so they were out, it was done,
they were going to commute the whole thing and off
they go, or.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
Whatever they were going to do.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
And then all those people lost their election and now
they're still in jail. Talk about you thought you were
getting out of They probably packed their stuff, they were
cellingb they were telling everybody were giving up. They gave
away their hooch recipes to the guy the p Yeah
you want this TV, here have it, you can have it,
and then they got to go and get it back.

(07:45):
Google has confirmed that hackers are gaining access to Gmail
accounts and the compromise passwords are behind a significant number
of breaches. The company is urging most users to change
their passwords and upgrade their security settings. They recommend adding
a pass key and avoiding the use passwords and two
factor authentication pass king instead of too another one of these.

Speaker 5 (08:07):
I don't want to do it anymore.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
I'm telling you I start my day, really, don't we
all probably do. But like I got this computer, I
got the all the technical stuff whatever. I got the
laptop out there on the porch. I authenticate seven times
to start the day to look at the same stuff
on three different computers.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Yes, dude, I'm here.

Speaker 8 (08:26):
I'll do it too fast. They're like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
How many people try to log into once?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah yeah? Like guys, you want you want to know
what we're gonna do on the show today, Just mean,
I'll give it.

Speaker 7 (08:36):
To you right, Like it's we're not doing anything crazy,
Like please.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
It's fine. It's not like the Cia wedding you were
at over the weekend. I want to hear more about
an American Airlines flight on this Way to Phoenix diverted
to Washington Dulles on Saturday after a passenger's device reportedly
caught fire. The funny part of the story is they
didn't specify what type of device it was.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
That's where I was on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
We weren't going to Phoenix though, So you're good.

Speaker 9 (09:01):
Washington, Oh they were. It was on the plane, right, Okay, yeah,
well that's it had a divert. American Airlines said that
the plane landed safely. At Deellas following reports of smoke
from a customer's device. The device was quickly contained by
crew members prior to landing. Did you know that if
you lose your phone and they make an announcement about this,
I think they used to or they still do. If
you lose your phone in the seat, like let's say

(09:21):
it drops down another thing, you are not supposed to
go try and get it yourself. You're supposed to call
the flight attendant because if you start contorting the seat
or it gets lodged somewhere where it could like crack
and then it could catch fire, and then you can
have a much bigger problem. So you're supposed to have
the flight attendant come get your phone if it drops
down somewhere where you can't see it, because you could

(09:41):
have it like if you're like, oh, I'll straighten the
seat out and I'll go get it. No, because if
you break the phone and like it causes some kind
of fire hazard to sparks or something, you have a
big problem. Oh I'd always wonder why I have to
call when I have to call, you know, Jennifer to
come do this for me.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's never happened. But if it did.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Why would I have to call Jennifer the flight attendant.
And that's why, because you could start a big fire.
It could be a problem. You know, you guys know.
I'm just outraged about uh, just outraged about brand branding
changes lately. Just outrage. The crackerbarel thing is. I haven't
been able to sleep. I'm absolutely shocked.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
I genuinely feel that way.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
I'm so upset the Jaguar redesign. You remember that that
was just a what a debacle.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Crack.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I'll never eat a crack. I'm just I'm constantly eating
a cracker barrel. I'll never It looks like the inside
of a cell phone store, and I won't.

Speaker 5 (10:25):
Go I'm upset about it. I really am.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
If there was one brand in the whole world that
didn't ever need to rebrand, it was Cracker correct.

Speaker 8 (10:33):
Yes, I mean I saw the commercial last night for
the first time, and it looks pretty cool. Jordan Davis
is in the commercial, like he's playing the guitar on
the little porch.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
I want my country store.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
I didn't know they had commercials.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yes, they.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
They do now, and people are gonna get into this
whole thing about oh it's woke or it's this or that.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know what it is. I don't know. I'm
not getting into all the theories. I'm just telling you
that that was one place that never needed to be reading.
It is what it is, guys like they could have
that is a timeless brand. It was old timy, then
it's old timing now, right. I want to eat my
dumplings in the country store. I like, right when I
walk into Crackerbilt, I know exactly what I'm going to get.

(11:12):
A cinnamon scented holiday candle in July, yes, and a
little tea game on the table, you know, with the
little teas, and I'm gonna get something this deep fried
and something with a lot of butter. And I don't
know why we're making them look like the inside of
cell phone stores. Now, Paulina, the new Hooters boss a
guy named Neil. He's a guy named Neil, and he

(11:33):
says the restaurant chain is gonna ditch overly skimpy shorts,
no butt cheeks hanging out.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I quit right, no but cheeks?

Speaker 1 (11:41):
What are we doing?

Speaker 2 (11:42):
And by the way, this is his bankruptcy rebound plan. Neil,
you think you're gonna make more money by showing less.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
What is Hooters? What is it? It's not a butt cheek,
a random one. What do you stand for but cleavage?

Speaker 5 (11:57):
Listen, if they keep that.

Speaker 6 (11:58):
Ten ninety nine shrimp deal they got, they got ten
shrimp with fries for ten ninety nine, If they another
shrimp tobaccle, I will ride for like Dan, I'll let
them do this little you know whatever, lose your shorts thing.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
But Neil is trying to revive Hooters after its March
bankruptcy by buying back closed doores and.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
Investing in upgrades. The food upgrade.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
The kitchens will be switching to higher quality ingredients like
real butter. I don't know what they were using.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
Before, Neil. That's fine.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
It goals to balance nostalgia and sex appeal with a
less racy, more family friendly vibe to win back mainstream customers.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I just guys, there was nothing wrong with them. There's
nothing wrong with it.

Speaker 2 (12:41):
I mean, I guess it was because for bankrupt, but
no one's going but then there's nothing wrong with.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
It at all.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
It wasn't because the butt cheeks.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
And I don't know how their bankrupt because between probably
and I like, they should be making a lot of money.
I think somebody's just miss mismanaging the funds.

Speaker 6 (12:55):
They need a guy they need well, I heard invest,
so invested the business.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
I got three towels.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I just you know.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
The other thing is like if your Hooters or your
or your cracker barrel. And I also want to know
how many people who are just outraged for whatever reason
you're out there live. I read all the theories over
the weekend about all the different reasons people are outraged
about cracker barrel.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
You know some of it.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
They're doing this and that. And you know, the left
just mad. The left just had the rights mad. The
left is mad about this, the right whatever it is,
it's political, maybe it is, I don't know. I'm not
even saying that. Yeah, but you got a brand like
that where everybody knows what the brand expectation is, right, Jaguar,
when they went and got all fancy, you just see
when they did this with him last summer, they went
and changed.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I don't know if they went back to the old logo.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
But if I see a Jaguar, like, if I see
the Jaguar, I know exactly what that is. That is
a car. It is a Jaguar as a car I
cannot afford. Okay, they went and change it all, made
it all fancy and futuristic, and people just absolutely roasted
them for this. You got, if you have one, if
you are that girl, if you've got one of those
brands that everybody knows, why would you change it?

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Live it so that we can talk about it.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
You can change the car around, you can make it
look you know, look, that'd be like Ford changing the
Ford logo or Chevy changing the Chevy logo. Like, dude,
every you worked your whole life so that people knew
exactly what that was when they saw it, and then
you went and changed its.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
Silly uh.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Thirty eight year old registered sex offender named the butt
Sniffing Bandit was arrested yet again in Burbank, California for
lude behavior. Employees at a Walgreens recognized this guy and
called police after he allegedly sniffed a woman's buttocks. He
was He was arrested later that evening and booked him
to jail the next morning. He's being held without bail.
The incident occurred less than one month at a Nordstrom rack.

(14:39):
It happened in Nordstome Rack guys where surveillance captured this
guy following a female shopper around, then crouching behind her
and sniffing her rear end. So that was on multiple
news sites this morning. So I wanted to, you know, happen.
I don't know why the Nordstrom rack part of it
made it was funny for me. Didn't have it in
a Nordstrom. It happened in a nordstom ron. Well, you know,
he's looking for it. He's looking for people who are
looking for a deal, right, sniff their buts.

Speaker 5 (15:00):
It would never happen at a normal Norse trum.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
No, absolutely not. And this is a nice story to
wrap up biggest stories at the day. Antelope High School
in Roseville, California, a district history by featuring two female kickers,
a junior named Olivia and a senior name Miley, on
his varsity football team. This marks the first time in
the district that a high school has had two girls
on the varsity roster. One joined the team last year

(15:24):
inspired by her brother, a former kicker at the school.
Another one followed suit after seeing Richardson's involvement, realizing that
a girl could be part of the football team and kick.
Both athletes utilized their soccer skills on the field and participate.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I hate that word.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
It's hard to say for some reason, and conditioning and
drills alongside their male teammates.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Hey you can give you kick the ball far and accurately. Good.
You're on the team. I like that. I'm all for it.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
It's National Banana split Day and National Secondhand Wardrobe Day.
