But it sounds like at one point he doesn't say the.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
So I just everybody's kind of fighting Gatorade?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is it right now? You can feel it?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I choose to ignore this mindful matter, psychosomatic. I choose
to ignore this, this, this idea that the universe is
conspiring to get me mercury and gatorade.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Just peep technology, communication, and travel. Just peep it.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Peep it, Am I peeping? I am I peeping?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Somebody back and peep if there's any problems with those
three categories.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh, I'm constantly peeping those. If there's I am peeping.
If there's something wrong with transportation, to which there has
man lately.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Hmmm. Interesting. Before you know, when the Gatorade started, all told.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Me I don't want I don't want to be more
than this. It's like if somebody says I'm having a day,
or like if you start your day in something and
you stub your tone and you're like, it's going to
be a bad day. It's going to be a bad
day because you decided it's going to be a bad day.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
True, but I didn't know what was going on, and
I said, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (03:11):
And Kiki was like, gregatone is going on?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Sure is? Now now that I know, I'm not going
to allow it to overtake my life. I refuse.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I refuse, right, keep your eyes open ignore let them
student loans.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
By the way, I tried to take some cold medicine
this morning from the office, from that little box they're
required to have, but they're out of all that. They
have something called cold relief. I don't trust that though.
I don't know what that is, no idea. And then
they had a little compartment for decua. I got so excited.
I'm like, wow, that is name brand. But then we're out,
or at least we don't have any of that in
there if we name brand medication. Now, is the office

(03:45):
required to provide me with medication? No, they probably aren't,
but but you know it would have been nice. I'll
have you, I'll have you.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
No.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
So if things sound a little weird today, or if
I'm kind of moving in slow motion, that's kind of
what I feel like.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
It's marketing.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
No, it's not the it's it's actual sickness, right, these allergies.
It came from a bush somewhere, Okay, it is not.
It has nothing to do with your reggaetonne okay, okay,
the world needed to know. It was overwhelming. Uh last night,
the request for me to comment it was unbelievable. I mean,
people just they they they had to know what I

(04:22):
thought about this Coldplay kiss cam situation. They had to know.
So I released a video, released the video.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
I did loading announcement later, No I did, I did,
I did, I did, And then I walked the runway
so you could see my shorts and T shirt outfit
this morning, because that's imperative to do.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
I wanted you to see what I was. Some of
these videos I can't with it, but anyway, I usued
went last night and you can go see it if
you want to. It's uh Fred so I am. I
am Fredshire Radio on TikTok. I don't even know what
it is. I grabbed it because I was afraid were
being copied so readily. Somebody might even grab our TikTok
try and do that. But the Fred Show TikTok is

(05:04):
the official fread show TikTok. And if you're being contacted
by any other accounts claiming to be me, asking if
you're a fan of mine, and then for twenty five
dollars for a sandwich. That is me, That actually is me.
I wanted a sandwich and I want you to pay
for it. You guys, if you haven't heard about this,
I don't know how you couldn't have. But there's video
of a tex ceo apparently being caught with an employee

(05:26):
on a kiss cam and a Coldplay concert, and it's
gone viral. So I have not seen this. I've been
to Coldplay shows before, but I have not seen this
little gimmick. But apparently the Chris Martin sits up there
with his guitar and they show different people on the
camera like an athletic event, you know, like a sporting
event where they would have the kiss cam. Oh look
you're on the camera. Kiss and then I guess he
strums along and kind of I don't know, says little

(05:48):
commentary to each of the things, so they're you know
this person that person that. So I finally get to
these people. It's a dude, gray haired dude, and he's
like kind of holding on to a woman in front
of him, like hugging her from behind. Okay, and and
Music of the Spheares Tour is what this was at
Gillette Stadium near Boston on Wednesday, and it happened during

(06:09):
a regular segment of the show in which roving cameras
find couples in the crowd as they kiss and they
showed on the big screens. In this case, the camera
pan to Andy Byron, the CEO of the Tech Platform Astronomer,
who had his arms wrapped around a woman who is
reportedly a woman named Kristin Cabot, who is in fact
not his wife, and she is in fact and he

(06:29):
is in fact not her husband, and even better, in
a surprising twist, he is the CEO of the company
and she is the director of hr HR as I'd
like to call it the CPO, the Chief people Officer
hr oh HR.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I saw that in your video.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
He was like, cool, yeah, yeah, oh that's a little
clever way of you, the CPO. Yeah whatever. The person fires.
So as soon as the two saw themselves on the screens,
and Camela made an excellent point just a second ago,
but it's as they saw themselves in the screens, they
quickly let go of one another and then dove out
of the shot or dived, which I think is actually

(07:08):
the proper I think you're supposed to say dive, which
does not sound right.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
That does not sound right.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
But I would you look that up for me English major,
because if you would, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
Them crouds down one of them turned around.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Because I always thought that one was kind of weird.
If you're allowed to say dived, if you're loud, if
it's permitted, you can say whatever in the English language.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well, if you.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
Like to know, dove is more commonly used in American English,
but dived would be more British English.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oh I'm British English, guys, so good.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, you did go to school there.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
I did for some time, so that's where it comes from.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
Don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
You have a slight acting deep deep in there. So
Calin made a great point if they hadn't acted that way.
Now granted, this was I think where they lived and worked,
so and it was big and it's very clear who
it was on the screen, But if maybe they had
just played it off, like, just just continued on and
not reacted in the way that they did, hiding from

(07:58):
the cameras and freaking out and the whole thing, then
maybe nobody would be talking about this, or you could
have said, hey, did I see last night, were you
at the cold Play show? Was that our CEO? Whatever?
It's Andy and Kristen, like, you know, can noodling, And
then you could have been like, no, I don't know.
They couldn't have been. They're both married, and there's no
way to CEO and screw the HR director, you know

(08:20):
the way that's possible hands.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I mean, even if people that knew them saw them,
the rest of the world wouldn't see them and be
talking about it right now like now you're real in
trouble man.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
But they totally freaked out. It was a whole thing.
And then apparently the other there was another girl in
the shot. She apparently works for the HR director, So
to talk about that, So here's a woman who's watching
the CEO and the HR director you know, can noodle
and knows they're having an affair allegedly. And then this
woman works for both of them and she's in the concert.

(08:51):
But I mean, it's pretty bold. I would say to
go to a concert and be acting like that if
you're married, each of you. So part of me is like,
does do these did the partners know about it? I
always ask that question because it's like you were acting
awfully comfortable in public. That's a good point. Well, you
didn't know you were going to be on camera, but still.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
They up in a box though.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, but I'm not sure that I would act that
way in my hometown. I'm assuming that's where they live.
I don't know that that's where they live. I wouldn't cheat.
I'm not a cheater. I would just I would ghost,
and then I know I wouldn't. I would break up
with you, and then I would cheat. No, but I'm
not a cheater. I don't understand cheating.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
No, it's it's weird o behavior.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
I don't understand cheating. I really don't either. I don't
and I don't want to be part of it. You know.
It's like you either want to be in a relationship
with someone or you don't. And when you tell me
that you're not, I believe you, and you know, sadly
that's not always worked out well for me. But these
things happened. I also don't go to a concert. Well
maybe I do, but anyway, so no cameras though, no
cameras when I'm canoodling.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Okay, if this was you at the if you were
cheating at the Janet concept, remember how you were directly
under that light, yeah, said I could spot you.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
For thank goodness, you.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Man.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
It just so happened. There was a light shining just
on me at the Janet Jackson shows, like a bright show.
It was like a white shirt or something.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I was like, glistening.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
You look like an angel, just like. I was very
excited to me there, and I asked them to properly
like me a full viewer. I love shit and I
wanted to be Janet lit and me lit. And the
folks in Live Nation were kind and they were able
to make that happen for me. Well, my choreography was
on Boys Hit Every Move. Yeah no, I mean because

(10:29):
of me. He was like, and I went with someone
who didn't know three quarters of the songs that I was,
so I was I was ashamed. That was a shamed.
I was ashamed. I mean this person was younger than me,
but not by a lot. And I was ashamed, Like,
I mean, you guys are young. She was your age
and you were know every Janet song anyway, So what
do we think about this? I mean, what is there

(10:50):
to say? There's There's no way, there's no way that
these two don't get fired. I heard that she was
supposedly wiped off the website already. Now that's gonna be
something if he throws her under the But you cannot
be the CEO of a company and sleep with the
director of HR or publicly be in a relationship. You
cannot do that and get away with it. The board

(11:10):
of this company, which by the way, is called Astronomer.
It's worth more than a billion dollars. He's been the
CEO for two years. She joined nine months ago as
the chief people officer. There's just no way they have
to fire them both because again, like I said last
night in my release, in my statement about this issue,
it's just going to be a free for all in
the office if they don't.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
The coworker wanted people to note too, that's why she
stayed like smiling, Like I think that she was like
ready for them to be exposed to think of.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Her life, Like she's like, I don't want to go
against my boss, but I'm holding her a secret. Like
that's a really I guess you could say, like she
knew and she's trading that to like she's in this circle,
but she also is complicit because she knows they're cheating.
You could also argue, and I've had a friend in
this situation before. The boss is cheating, and like I,

(12:00):
I have to go along with it because if I don't,
then I get fired. But you don't have to go
to the Coldplay show with them, you know what I mean?
You don't have to that with a choice, you don't
have to socialize.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
With them, probably be forced to show.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
No one's forced to go to.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
We go to things we don't want to go to
all the time.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
That it depends on who asks you, right, Like the
CEOs like I got a box know that.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
And they bring people like her along along so that
it doesn't look suspicious, like oh I took the team out,
like no, y'all banging, but I was there.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
But yeah, they make the people like that go.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I mean, there's just no way around this, Like they're
going to get fired and.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Lose their families.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
I guess, so I guess the wife last night, she
she removed her last name from her Facebook that I
don't know that that necessarily means that she's leaving him.
I think that means she doesn't want to be found
or that was the attempt. I mean, if you're going
to divorce someone who cares what your Facebook says.

Speaker 2 (12:55):
You just get the money. You get the money. I
hope she gets some.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Well. Now here's another thing is I was talking to
a friend of my last night who is lead general
counsel for a very, very big company, and I said,
how would you advise the board on this if your
general counsel for this company. Let's just say she's not.
But let's say you work for Astronomer and the board
comes to you and says, what do we do? She's like,
they're both gone, and more than likely in their contracts
is some form of behavioral or morality clause that would

(13:20):
then void the stock options for this behavior. So this dude,
may it's possible. And I don't know this, I don't
know what their contracts say, but it's very possible this
whole thing is going to not only cost them their families,
but a ton of money.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Whire's the CEO though the board, the board of directors.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
Oh, that's Hired.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
Okay, that's what you're talking about. I didn't understand that.
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
He doesn't own the thing. He's the CEO.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Okay, Okay, I mean he may have.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Helped found it, but there's a board of directors that
would oversee him, that would hire him, and so they're
probably meeting going we don't need any of this. Yep,
so bye bye, I'm.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Too poor Martin, Like he just he did his biggest one.
He called it out right in the moment, like he
really did. He was like, oh, yeah, Al must be
really shy.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Oh you cheating, Like yeah, he was on it. He knew.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I think he was joking. And then he was like,
oh no, this is really true.

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yes, yeah. And then one more thing that we were
discussing off the ear before the show started is that
there was a statement issued or there was a statement
floating around last night that everybody was quoting as as
him responding, and it does not appear to be a
real statement. So I first saw it in the afternoon.

(14:28):
I read it. I was like, this guy is bold
because in the statement, it starts out okay, like, hey,
it's a private matter, I'm ashamed of my behavior. All
that looks right, And then at the end he was like,
but basically, it's Coldplay's fault because that was a private moment,
and then he quotes a cold Play lyric at the
bottom of the statement that it is not a real
I do not believe that's a real statement. I've looked

(14:50):
everywhere for the for a like official statement for these
I don't think that's real. So people are up in
arms because it does appear in this fake statement like
he's blaming the band for his infidelity. But I don't
believe that's real. So, and we've checked all of our sources.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, I mean shout out to TMZ, they did their
biggest Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
So, like, I don't think that's not that's not real.
So people were like, oh, I can't believe this guy
that you know, he's doubling down. Well, I don't know.
I mean, I'm not saying he's a great guy. I
don't I don't know Andy, I believe was his name
was his name Angie andy By. I don't know Andy
or Kristen very well. But I don't believe that's a
real statement.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
But I don't know how you recover. I don't know
what you do.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
She's not even cute.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
Sorry, I mean that's what we would say if we
were a friend of the wife to make her feel better.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
That's true love. They never are sometimes doesn't see what
they say at hallmarkers. Love doesn't always see clearly.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
I guess someone said this is scandal all for middle
aged people.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
Who had more gray hair, though him or her I
couldn't tell. I was just saying the biggest stories of
the day. Okay, so some quick headlines here. I think, well,
this will be fast. President Donald Trump called to release
all pertinent Grand Jerry testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein. Okay,
what I mean, We're never going to know what really happened.

(16:12):
We're never gonna know what really happened. We're never really
gonna know why. I don't even know. This is not
even I'm not saying this from any political lean whatsoever.
I don't know why we're talking about this because we're
never going to know.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
And my logic here is that he might have something
on our current president. He might have something on former presidents.
I mean, he and Clinton hung out. There are so
many reasons why, from all sides, nobody wants this stuff
to be talked about it anymore.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Trump said we're not doing it.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
No, he said, release whatever. But my thing.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
Is, what is everything?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
I mean, we'll never know. We'll never know that. So
I honestly like and don't at me. Honestly, I'm not
coming at this from a political viewpoint. Sure, I'd love
to know what really happened to that guy. I don't
really think he just I don't think he just erased
himself in I don't think that's what happened. Because if
that happened, and why are we missing all of the
video footage of that time period. It's all suspicious. All

(17:12):
of it is okay from every angle. So and they're
not ever gonna come out and be like, all right,
for real, for real guys, you know. So, I don't
know why we're talking about this. I really don't like,
come out with it. Don't come out with it. We'll
never know all of it. You may have more on
this than the entertainment of port, but this is actually
kind of shocking. Late night talk show host Stephen Colbert
will soon be off the air. On Thursday, he announced
that CBS is canceling the Late show completely. They're just

(17:36):
not gonna do it anymore.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
End of an air man.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
They say that it's too expensive to do the show,
and apparently I haven't seen the ratings lately, but just
supposedly he's number one, So they're just saying forget about it,
which that's not great. Don't get any ideas. I crazy me.
I thought number one meant you got to keep your job.
I don't think that's true anymore. No, but honestly, that

(17:59):
one surprised me. Now another, you know, it's another one
where you got to ask yourself. Like the guy had
pretty pointed opinions. We everyone kind of knew where he
stood politically. Does that have anything to do with it?
Is he too much of a liability? I don't know
the other guys. Wow, No, Jimmy Kimble doesn't. He doesn't
stay away from politics.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
No, he doesn't.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
My friend Jimmy Fallon, he doesn't get involved with Jeffrey
Epste So I don't know. I don't know what's going on.
Felix Bumgardner remember this name. He was the skydiver and
basse jumper who was the first person to break the
sound barrier with nothing but his body. He was also
the guy who jumped from space. Remember that guy went

(18:40):
up in the balloon and he had the space shoot
on and he parachuted from like basically space, not basically
he parachuted off of like a balloon from space. Wow,
you don't remember this. No, this is probably what ten
years ago. He did this for Red Bull. I forget
how high he was. He was way up, literally in space.
He had a space suit on. You don't remember this. No, oh,
this was a big deal. Really it was real. It

(19:00):
was probably like ten years ago. I mean, Pauline a
fact check it.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know, I'm on it.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
I need you to fact check it. I'm I know
you can get your hands out here. You're snuggy, but
what's your hands? I can see them? Okay first of all,
and then.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Okay, start there.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
That's for you too, Jason may me rough take from
Fred and the Epstein Files. I'm sorry, we're never gonna
know the truth. It's just if if we were to
know the truth, but we know it by now, Like
why has it been years and years and no one's
in there? No, we we know, we don't know, we know.
I just don't think anyone's telling the truth. It's it's government, right.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
I just want to know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
You're never gonna know that either.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I'm supposedly going to find out this month.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
I just I think there are too many people and
you know what, maybe take politics out of it, right,
take Paul, there are famous people involved in this too,
and there are rich people involved in this too, and
there are probably political donors involved in this too. There
take politics out of it. There are too many people,
I think, who are involved in this that do not
want it discuss. Yeah, you agree.

Speaker 2 (20:01):
I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So I don't know if it's political or otherwise. But
people with money have power, and I think it's just
like you know what, and maybe those people have something
on other people. So it's like, okay with this whole thing,
make it go away.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Everybody's a little guilty.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah, I think another hot taking ready for this in
the morning. I think Diddy. I think Diddy has a
lot on a lot of people, and I think there
are probably some people out there very worried about what
he might say, which is why they're not saying anything
about it. People that you might expect to speak out
or not because well maybe they had some babe oil

(20:35):
in their on their hands, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
I do know what you're saying. Yes, yeah, I'm familiar
with what you're saying.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I just I think there's you know, you would expect
certain people to, you know, step up and be like, hey,
this is all not right, but in order for them
to know that I'm fake. Yeah, anyway, Felix Bumgardner, did
you see this guy jump from space?

Speaker 2 (20:57):
This was twenty twelve.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Okay, well space, He unfortunately has passed away what he did.
The reason I'm gonna give the reason I'm going to
give this guy grace on just the tip of space.
The reason I'm going to give this guy grace is
because he parachuted. So he wasn't Katy Perry in a
spaceship claiming to be an astronaut. He literally took a
balloon to like whatever eighty thousand feet or whatever it was,

(21:21):
and he actually jumped out of the balloon and his
body flew like he parachuted.

Speaker 6 (21:27):
Why where did he land in the desert? The balloon's gone,
but where I don't know what happened to the balloon.
I don't know how you all missed this.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I was in college, man.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I just let the balloon fall to the ground.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
It's given AI.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
About the balloon. You have the Internet, There's a device
right in front of you.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
None of it.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Jeffy was there. He's in the balloon.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
He's in the blue with he jumped from the stratosphere. Sure,
that's what the tip said.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Anyway, sadly, this dude was he passed away in a
some kind of accident. It was a it was a daredevil,
a figure of global prominence, a symbol of courage and
passion for extreme flight. It was a paraglider that went
out of control his paraglider. So at least, if you're
a daredevil and you do daring stuff all the time,
that's how you that's how you should go. Like, if

(22:27):
you're gonna go, you should go pursuing your passion. Like,
wouldn't it be sad? Honestly, God, if this guy jumped
from eighty thousand feet and lived and then like a
got hit by like a bicycle and you know, cracked
his head open and died, like, that would be really sad.
It's sad either way. But at least he was pursuing
this thing that he was known for. Yeah, you know,

(22:48):
he was doing you know, action sports, high level dangerous stuff.
That's what that's what drove him, you know. But it
would be really sad if you do all that and
then you know, you just keel over and die one day,
like because he ate too many bax or something. You know, yes,
that's exactly right. Really, yeah, there you go? No, I mean.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, is he tiny?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I am shocked that people that you guys don't remember
Red Bulls sponsored it was. It was like huge news.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Honey, I was in college. I was away in jail
in college.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Did they not have did you go to college like trail?
Like they had the internet there too?

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Do you think we were reading the news in university?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Want to say, the children, children, children, Peacock is going
to raise their streaming prices. They have Love Island, USA,
So this might actually affect you. You have to pay
three dollars more now for Peacock. Yeah. A teenager's joke
forced the plane to apparently have to tax you to

(23:49):
a deserted corner of the airport over a bomb scare.
And this was on your favorite Spirit Airlines. So a
flight from Lauderdale to Missouri was forced to move when
a sixteen year old boy joked, I have a bomb
in my pocket as he boarded his plane, but he
was referring to his junk what boy how he knew
that his joke immediately triggered a full security response. The

(24:11):
aircraft was moved to a remote area. Passengers were evacuated
and bomb sniffing dogs swept the plane. Can't be joking
about this stuff, and anyone who would say something like
that does not have a bomb. Okay, like that kind
of bomb. After a thorough search, no threat was found.
Now that's embarrassing. We searched the kid. Nope, zero threat

(24:32):
right from this guy. But the damage was dumb. The
flight was delayed more than five hours. Spirit Airlines reported
fifty thousand dollars in disruption. Couse, the team was arrested
in charge of making a false bomb threat and criminal mischief.
He's now in juvenile's attention. His mother insisted it was
a stupid joke, calling him a good kid who made
a thoughtless mistake. Authorities aren't taking it lightly, and the
consequences of even a Joe Contaday's travel climate can be

(24:55):
very severe. Plus, you gotta say something like that, I mean,
don't be talking about yourself like that. Other people should
say that about you. You never said that about yourself. We
all know that. And gen Z thinks that you are
old at the age of thirty five reached. The study
surveyed two thousand gen Z and young millennials and many
in gen Z consider individuals old at thirty five and

(25:19):
then at forty. Twenty two percent said thirty five. Twenty
six percent say forty. I used to think that too.
I used to think that that forty was old. I
used to think forty five fifty was old. I don't
know that I think that anymore. I don't know, because
I'm in my mid forties. I don't feel old.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
And the elder you get, you just you know, the
number rises, like I guess, but I don't know I'm old.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
You feel old, yes, like I feel it physically. Yeah,
and especially like working with younger people now I'm like,
oh I'm old, Like, yeah, I'm geriatric at this point.
Thirty one percent to find old age more traditionally at sixty.
So you now that's i'd mean old. I would say,
now is a six involved, and I think or higher,
and I think we're talking older. But I don't know

(26:05):
that fours make people old. Threes don't make people old,
no at all.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
My in laws are what fifty and fifty three, and
they look amazing, they do, yeah, And I'm over here.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Just really trying to keep up with them, and they're
out all the time.

Speaker 5 (26:18):
I love that can houl drink everybody in this room
like it's insane period to put together.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
And one more story in headlines, Rising living costs are
changing the way that people date, live in love, And
I want to know if you think this like this
is a valid excuse. A new global study shows that
high living expenses are forcing major changes in dating and relationships,
delayed dependence. Many young adults are staying with their parents
longer or moving back home. Financial first money talk now

(26:43):
happens early in relationships. Okay, I get the first two
cheaper dates, expensive outings are out, Picnics, walks and home
meals are in, and nearly half of singles are dating lesser,
canceling plans due to the cost of it. Now, if
you meet somebody and they say, let's go on a
walk date, if we're being really honest, on a first date,

(27:04):
are you putting your best foot forward? Like I'm not
saying you have to take them to uh missed one
star restaurant? You know, and there are people on TikTok
who will say that, you know, girls will be like
if they don't take me, then you know, if it's
not one thousand dollars, if it's not five hundred dollars mine,
I might go out with them. Okay, well, all right,
good for you. But I mean, honestly, if I don't
plan it, If I ask you out on a first

(27:24):
date and I don't put some form of effort that
represents some sort of financial element to it, then I mean,
am I being judged honestly? If I tell you if
I date you? Am I not saying the wrong thing
from the beginning? If I say, let's go on a
date that's free.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
I wouldn't judge based on like the restaurant.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
I think, like you could take me anywhere, but I
have to be honest and saying if you don't offer
to pay, I am secretly, but in.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
This case, there's no pay at all. Right walk?

Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, No, I don't. I don't want to walk. I
do not.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
I get maybe that Okay, No, that that one.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
I mean, hold on, you know what I mean? I
could go to Kidoba. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
See now, now I will say that is something I
wonder too, Like I I would I enjoyed. I want
to go to Chili's not because of the price. I
want to go to Chili's because it's Chili's right. But
I do think that there are probably women out there
who would say, first date, we're going to a chain restaurant,
Like that's unacceptable, Like I don't know, like that doesn't
seem original, that doesn't seem thoughtful, that doesn't seem like
you did make it eat and make it.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
An investment in this economy, right.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
Okay, So you really would give a guy a pass?

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Yes, And I think I think it's cute if you're, like,
if you're really out there dating multiple people or whatever,
you if we go on a date to walk our
dogs for the first time, I don't see anything.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Wrong with it.

Speaker 5 (28:37):
I don't either. Yeah, my first date, My first date
was a walk. It was all the COVID pandemic and
on top of that too, Can I be honest, I
didn't want to go on a date, like go sit
down and eat with somebody unless I knew, like I
wanted to.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Like spend time with them. That's a good point.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
I'm not gonna sit there for an hour and a
half at Chili's with a dipper or whatever and the
fight dollar margaritas, which sounds great, but like if I'm
not enjoying this, like why are we doing this?

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (29:00):
I need to talk to you first, maybe like we'll
meet at a park or something.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
I just don't know if I could get away with that,
if I could, just if I could say, Okay, you know,
I'll tell you what, like, let's just meet at the
at the at the farmer's market and walk around not
buy anything. And I don't think it's about the money necessarily,
But I don't know that I'm necessarily saying to you
that I'm a provider. If that's what you're looking for.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Yeah, I mean hopefully we're looking for more than just providing.
But yeah, I mean you're successful. So I maybe if
I was going on a date with you, like just
a walk. What's your definition though? I mean, I'm poor
Man's Ryan Seacrest. I'm very poor Man's Ryan Secret.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Hey, at least you're comparing yourself to Rycrest.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
I'm comparing myself how poor I am compared to him.
But I'm just saying I'm not comparing myself.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
Conversation, Well, so are you?

Speaker 1 (29:46):
You're a poor Room's Ryan Secret.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
We're all poor Martinez.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
I mean, yeah, no, I'm comparing myself to how poor
I am very poor?

Speaker 2 (29:54):
Right, you're successful?

Speaker 4 (29:56):
You knock it off, you own a home, you own
a car, these is that doesn't.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Just calm No, I just wonder. I wonder if if
you know how sympathetic people are, and and if maybe
the first, second, third date of do I need to
put out some investment? Do I need to now? And
again it doesn't have to be very expensive, but do
I need to if I'm gonna if I'm going to
show any kind of like, if I'm gonna spend money,
it should be maybe upfront, and then we can quickly
wean off of that because now we know each other,

(30:22):
we know we like each other, maybe we have an
understanding of where each of us is coming from. But
I do wonder, like if I say to you from
the very first date, we're not we're going on a
free date? Am I saying to you? I am? You
know I'm really working at this, like I really want you?
Am I really showing effort? You have to be creative
with your free date? You know, make it cute.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Flowers are ten twelve bucks, Get some flowers, we'll go
for a walk, we'll get a coffee.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Whatever. That's a cute little first date.

Speaker 3 (30:49):
But if you set the standard of you take me
to a five star restaurant on the first date. I'm
always going to expect to go to five star restaurants
throughout this relationship setting, right, and I'm still trying to
pitch you at the Farmer's Market.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
That's why I laughed.

Speaker 7 (31:03):
Forgot it what you're saying with flowers and that little bags.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
You know, I couldn't get there mentally.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
But I'll tell you what if I take you to Costco.
We just heed the samples.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Yeah, now that would be really cute.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Now here's the thing, and they got pizza. Even if
I do have money. If we did that and you
got excited about it, now now I'm excited about you.
Cawen's Entertainment report.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
He's on the Fresh Show.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Nicki Minaj has been going after Scissa's voice career manager
all kinds of things over her beef with rock Nation,
but she may have left out one key detail. Apparently,
according to Sizza, Nicki has reached out to her twice
for features and even used Sissa's lyrics and feeling myself
says it added, lo l you're having a moment.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
I'm not sure why, but be blessed.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Now while we're talking about it, I want to mention
that during this feud, Nicki was targeted in a live
stream by someone.

Speaker 7 (31:58):
Named mac wop, So I officially feel old at thirty
three because I don't know who Macwop is. But he
warned her to quote relax before you get put in
a blender like your boy did, which she interpreted as
a life threat and it's giving that. Nicki responded by
tagging both the FBI and the CIA, saying she wants
Macwop investigated and locked up, which like, what year is

(32:21):
it where we're just tagging the FBI. She also contacted
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna via Twitter or X, asking her
to forward the threat to law Enforce. She assured her
that she would pass it on and warned that quote
threats of violence and assassination should be taken very seriously.
Nicki thanked her again on X and said she is
confirmed and prepared to talk everything about these people and

(32:43):
that they have done to her, signaling she may have
more allegation.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
So I don't know.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
We're tagging people, We're tweeting people for going back and forth,
but that is the latest on the Girls are Fighting.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
Netflix is launching a new.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Six episode docu series titled Simon Cowell The Next Act,
premiering in December this year. The series is going to
follow him as he attempts to launch the next global
boy band from auditioned to recording their debut single. And
he had a hand in finding one direction, but Nicole
Scherzinger had a big hand too. I think she may
have even put them together more so than him, but

(33:16):
I think he's more associated with that, so it'll sort
of be like that. And lastly, Really Quick actors Jerry
O'Connell and Rebecca Romain revealed that they have kept separate
bank accounts throughout their eighteen year marriage and they seem
like they have a very fun marriage. They also say
that they have a shared account for family expenses and things,
but their success comes from open communication and always having

(33:36):
one parent for their twin daughters at home. So those
are their secrets, separate bank accounts and communication, which we've
heard many times. If you want to catch up on
anything that you've missed on the show, to take the
Fred Show on demand.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
It's all up there on the free I Heart Radio app.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
By the way, what is this I've been lying to
you about something?

Speaker 2 (33:56):
No, you're keeping a secret. Maybe I'm the only one
room that doesn't know a hold up.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fred Show. You wrote it down on Today's
specials on the board. We got the whiteboard in here
and every day Today's specials it was Fred's lining to
everybody about something. What am I got time for this?
Let's hear it? Get smoke now it's just Paulina calling

(34:21):
people out this week here for yeah, let's hear it.
Journalists like we're writing in our diaries. We call them blogs.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Go thank you so much, dear blog.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
I don't know what I got.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Myself into, but dip blog.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
So I overheard you fred it the other day. We
were in this room having a conversation about something and
you mentioned that you were going to be attending a
radio event and I was like, oh, I'm gonna look
it up because let's see, like what's going on. It
said radio event, right, and I was like, maybe I
can go support if it aligns with my schedule. Lo
l my calendar and I was like, maybe I'll go

(34:57):
check it out. I didn't know that you were going
to to be speaking somewhere with an icon from our
childhood slash like I guess teenhood if you will.

Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh, mister young jock himself, he was discussed.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
I think maybe you were having you know, stuff, take
it out of your butt or putting your boobs or
I'm not sure what it was, but this was discussed
because I brought it up, and I kind of got
some frowns, like I was like because I said something similar.
So there's a thing called it's like a morning show convention,
and I got it. You know, I love our peers

(35:33):
that to do this this stuff. I really I respect everybody.
I mean not everybody, but I respect some people to
do this. And everybody gets together once a year and
it's this convention thing and they have like panels and
little seminars and little things and whatever. And I don't
really do well in this setting because I just don't.
People don't believe this, but I'm extremely introverted off the air,

(35:56):
like not with you guys, but I don't. I don't.
I'm not a small talk guy. I'm not a chit
chat guy. I you know, I think a lot of
I respect a lot of people who do this. I
think there's also some some extreme cattiness and jealousy and
people are not you know, it's it's it's you know,
all good to see you turn around that good sooks.
It's a lot of that. It's bad energy. It can
be not everybody at all there are And I also

(36:20):
I think it's valuable, you know, when people in it,
in the same field can get together and and hear
each other's ideas and stuff. I do think that, And
I'm grateful to Don Anthony that puts together every year.
But Dennis Clark, the the guru, he's our guru. He
put me on a panel with some people. I don't
know what we're talking I have no idea what we're
talking about. But Young Jock has a radio show. It's

(36:41):
going down Young Jock that the rapper has a radio show.
I guess I didn't know this morning radio show somewhere
and and so he's on the path. So I yeah,
it's true. I am on a panel with young John.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
I think that's iconic.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
You don't think Freddy from back in the day would
be like, hey, man, like look at me.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
No, no, I never thought I would be on a
stage with young Josh there any sort of thing.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, I think that's so cool.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
But yeah, I wanted to like, maybe go support my
saw Hollywood City it was in and I.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
Was like, never been How cool?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Yeah, I should come come to Austin, Texas and watch
me and talk with Young Josh.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
I want to, but I think I gotta I gotta
work that day.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Oh well I won't be working that day, So that
means I got it right, that's true. Yeah, if I
talk about here you are, that's true. I wanted to
support you because I think that's cool. That's nice. If
you thank you know, it's exciting.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
I guess you and Young Jack in Austin, Texas and
uh period.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
There are some other people too that.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
That's a country song.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Well there's Well it'll be really interesting because remember there's
one person on the panel who publicly posted a text
conversation between he and another morning show host where the
morning show host was very clearly talking crap about me.
Oh no, and this guy didn't know that or didn't
under he didn't understand that that the thing the guy

(37:56):
was saying was a direct shot at me and a diss.
There's been a lot of that lately and from this person,
and so so the guy posted it like on his story.
A text message between the two of thems and and
tag me, Oh, I don't think he wanted me to
see that.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Now I want to go for sure?

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Hold on, oh no, wow, it's all good.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
No, I got hands.

Speaker 1 (38:20):
It's all good. No, it's all good. It's all good.
It's all good. I'm not saying that it's all good.
But this is it, you know, It's like this in
other industries where like there it's like love hate, you know,
where it's like you you respect or like other people,
but you want to do better than them. Is it
like that? Like I don't know, if you go to

(38:41):
like other conventions for other businesses, like there are people
that I really like and respect it, and there are
people there that I can't believe them in the same
room with them because I grew up, you know whatever.
Like I can't believe in the same conversation with some
of these people, even if it's like at the bottom
of the list with an asterisk, I still can't believe it.
And then there are other people that I'm you know,
it's just like I don't know, is it like that?
It's it is, but also like somewhat supportive in some

(39:02):
weird way.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
I'm sure, like think about it, like there's conventions all
the time, and I'm sure in companies people want to
rise to the top or do certain things in their
own way. May not be radio broadcasting, but you know
people want to be the CEO and you know, go
to a Coldplay concert, right, but not get caught. That's
the dream. That's the dream, that's that's the American dream.
I want to cheat at a cold Play concert.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
Well, Coldplay's not playing at this event. Happy more Fredshell
