Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fred Show is one friend's fun fact. Fred fun
learn so much. You know what, I want to wish
you happy birthday to Nicky, says she DMed us and
says this is her favorite part of the show, which
I would say to you, Nicky, aim higher. This was

(00:24):
a joke. This wasn't intended to be a thing, and
it's a thing now, and so I mean, granted, I
think it's a valuable thing. I'm trying to make you
the most interesting person in the world with these facts.
You go into work today, you go to the bar,
you go on a date, and you can tell these

a sign of wealth too, like you could afford food.

And if you didn't have a tan, because it meant

you want me? You with great, Well, we think you're rich.

(01:56):
I'm glad that's over. That's all I can say. The Kardashians. No,
it's very very much. Not know, but I wish I
wish it were the more breadshee next and
