Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fred Show is on Fred's Fun. Fact. Fred's Fun
so much, you guys.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Honestly, honestly, I'm not sureing to be overly dramatic here.
This will hurt your heart. It hurts my heart to
even tell you this. There's a ever heard of a
guy named Ron Wayne, you know the name. He was
a third partner in Apple when Apple started. He was
a third partner with Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs and this
guy Ron Wayne.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
And they started in a garage.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Okay, ron Wayne, I guess he got They all put
a little bit of money in to start this thing.
Ron Wayne got a little anxious about the pace. It
wasn't going fast enough for old boy, so he sold
out for eight hundred dollars ten percent steak in Apple.
He sold it for eight hundred dollars. That ten percent

(00:59):
steak today would be worth three hundred and twenty billion
dollars with a b wow, oh boy.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
He's still alive. He's ninety years old. Eight hundred dollars
were like that. And I don't know if this ever happened.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Maybe I'm sure probably didn't, because I would imagine at
the time they were like, oh, really, you're gonna bail
on us, like we got to give you money that
we don't have to get out of this thing, because
I mean, a ten percent was eight hundred bucks. That
meant the business at the time it was worth eight
thousand dollars, So eight hundred bucks is probably a lot
of money. I would like to believe that somebody broke
him off, like a bill or a mill or something.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
No, his net worth is four hundred thousand dollars, dude,
can you imagine though?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Like honestly, and I God bless him, but like, how
could you ever know? How could you ever know what
you had? And then even if even if like he
sold out because Apple went bad for a while, even
then it got it got kind of big, and then
it got bad and then Steve Jobs woman, now look
at it, but he's still eight hundred dollars and today
is worth three hundred and twenty BILLIONA.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
Yeah, that doesn't honestly does that hurt your heart? Where
is he? He's ninety something? Where is he? Someone? Watch him?
Please go to I know he lives in Cleveland. On
top of that that you're in Ohio literally for Wayne.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
The next time you think that things are going poorly,
for you think about more breadshell next,
