Speaker 2 (00:42):
I am not salty, okay, I am single and sweet.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
You should listen just to see what's going to happen next.
Fred's show is on first thing I see on our
shared document this morning. Paulina swamp Crotch is getting people
stopped at TSA. Harry Well it me. We'll click on
that while we're here. While we're here passenger flag by

(01:09):
TSA after swamp crotch sets off alarm. You better not
go to the airport anytime soon because you know you're
a little leaking boove situation.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, luckily it's not down there yet allegedly, but like
I'm leaking like where I'm not supposed to be leaking either.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Oh okay, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
Something wrong?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Imagine hating me and I'm just here like leaking.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
If it's leaking from a place they didn't work on,
you might want to go investigate that. No, it's all good,
as somebody check that out. O good. Yeah, a checkpoint
alarm bells began blaring after a traveler's groin. Oh is
this like a personal situation or is this actual sweat?

(01:57):
I mean, I'm reading this real time, which might be
a mistake, but Paul put it on here, so I'm
trusting you.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
It said that there's an extreme wetness in the pants
is what this is due too. So if I'm working
at TSA first, how would I know unless I guess
I see it right, like common natty your pants, Like
I see a big stain.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Is swamp crotch? Like swamp but where it's just because
it's so hot outside.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I think that's what I'm asking is That's what I think.
It makes you think so swampy, So it's not anything else.
I mean, I'm just wondering, where are we going with this?
Like I really should have read this ahead of time.
I'm trusting the team here. Oh, but I'm kind of wondering,
if what do we read the whole article I did.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
I still understand because I think as women, we kind
of have it all year round, depending what you got
going on. I kind of underwear, you know what I mean,
where we're headed, where we're coming back from.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well, guys, I mean, we get swampy, but I get
you know, I get the pity for swampy. But yeah, yeah,
don't never know that that it happens anyway. But I'm
trying to figure out what TSA had to get involved.
So if you look for the first time in fifteen
years and both airports flagg my crotch at the arms
up scanner all so, I guess it's like the the

(03:02):
little radar through whatever it is not radar detected something
X ray thing was like, what's going on here? The
wet wanderluster. Describe yourself as mid sized adult woman five eight,
one hundred and sixty nine pounds wearing bike shorts and
normal underwear. The Skyway Siren assured social media readers that
her private parts were neither pierced nor outfitted with medical devices.

(03:26):
She claimed her pockets were totally empty. I don't care
about the pat down. They were polite and professional. It
didn't bother me. But I'm wondering what I did. Internet
know it alls say it's crotch sweat, and they're likely right. Okay,
I guess there are other things for women that can
set that off. But depending on what's going on. Wat

(03:48):
I are your story? Have you had a TSA issue?

Speaker 2 (03:52):
No, No issues with TSA, oh, but issues with what
it is?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Never an issue a WAP. There's a lot of possibilities here, see,
because I'm talking about something else and over here I go,
m hm, you have a personal experience with this.

Speaker 4 (04:12):
I'm glad everything's normal.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
To a bodily function that can wrongfully trigger red flags
per a TSA expert. Really, perspiration is probably the weirdest
thing that can set off the scanners. According to somebody
who was commenting on this for Reader's Digest, it has
to do with millimeter wave technology and how the wave
bounces off water. The insider added it becausin machine often

(04:39):
generates false alarms due to sweat. Some countries have banned
the scanners altogether, but massive moisture isn't the only reason
the TSA technology might mistake one's undercarriage for a dangerous weapon.
It's been alleged to frequent flyers boasting larger features, such
as Booty Delicious, who wrote this bolicious behind, can expect

(05:00):
to be stopped and searched before the green lights and
board a plane. One person says the screening technology effectively
screens diverse populations of travelers each day. Adding to the
devices and screening algorithms are trained to recognize body composition.
Any unexpected abnormalities, excess sweat, et cetera could prompt an alert.
Oh you got that weapon down there? Okay, I think

(05:22):
a lot of people would say that they need to
be stopped. Then hands up, you know why are you
putting on the TSA. This poor TSA agent just came
to work to make sure that nobody had anything in
their bags, and Kiki's over here trying to set off
alarms and put it on them.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
And I'm sorry, if you can detect what's the moisture
that's going on, you are too much in my.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
Business, like.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
To take this thing with me now, you don't need
to be able to know what's happening, Like that's too invasive.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, I want to know what's so exciting in the
TSA or why you're so stressed out one of the other.
Are we so stressing? That might be a sign of mind.
Look a little more carefully in your bags. I've seen
locked up Abroad. Okay, have you ever watched that show?
Those people get very nervous, you know, these amateur drug
smugglers get very nervous. There might be something to this. Yes,

(06:14):
they're sweating a lot, and they think everyone's looking at
them because they've got you know, black tar heroine that
some man gave them for a ten thousand dollars vacation
that they thought was just no strings attached. Show before.

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yes, and once you get pulled to the back room,
it's a rap, like it's like, oh, they.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Told me I could go to Ebitha and you know
they're gonna pay for everything, and it was just free.
I didn't have to do anything.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Now you're an equatory in jail, or there's some.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Reason I wind up an Ecuador, not in Betha at all,
you know, and why am I in jail? Yeah? Anyway,
Well thank you for that, Pauline. I had no idea.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
What an amazing contribution.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
No really, I mean we really, Yes, I can tell
that while I've been gone you you evolved from making
this your personal diary to really me with some heat,
hard hitting journalism. I'm saying, you know what I mean, Whittler,
this is the situation. Yes, I sweat all the time.
This is a text specify before I start reading people's comments.

(07:12):
It's a text. I sweat all the time. I do.
I'm a sweaty guy. I'm a sweaty person, and I
you know, sometimes I get the I go to Leslie
t the light Boat Dog, I get the underarm botox,
which is very effective. I still think it makes it
come out of like other places more, which I guess
makes me prone for a TSA inspection. But I sweat
all the time, but I've learned cotton I don't sweat

(07:33):
as much. Other fabric material. I sweat like crazy down there. Well,
thank you for that, appreciate that. And we have a
dialogue going on here. It's embarrassing. It happens every time,
Oh someone said, oh wow, you got to like that's it.
That's kind of a humble brag, depending what we're talking about.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Yeah, it's still a hasshole that you have to look
forward to every time you want to fly somewhere.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
Cotton underwear.

Speaker 5 (07:58):
Well that's true too.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
So like sometimes we just don't need to share stuff,
like if that happened to you, it's okay, like yeah,
we need to write an article about it, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
But I've seen internet or I don't know how I
know this, but like they can see a lot in
that next and that thing where you put your hands
up like this, Yeah, they can see like like hey, no, right,
they can see they can see all that. Like they
can't see like it per se, but like there's it's
it's yeah, they can see your prince Harry or whatever

(08:29):
it is.

Speaker 7 (08:31):
Sorry, they can see that's a different one. They know,
they know, they know to make sure this is.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
This is all. This is all for public safety, Jason.

Speaker 5 (08:50):
Exactly, and they want to cause no alarm.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
I do have a story about the shoes though, because
apparently some airports now t s a is not making
people take their shoes off, but only some are for
it's not others. So that's another thing is I've noticed that,
like there's a general generally, you can you can expect
that you're if you're not TSA pre check, you're taking

(09:13):
your shoes off for the most part, you're taking your
laptop set or whatever. But I've noticed there are some
airports now that have updated technology where you don't have
to do.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
That, right.

Speaker 5 (09:21):
The rules change all the time.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
And I know, but I've also noticed the TSA agents
they assume that you just know this already.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
And they're still yelling. But I'm at a different airport
with different rules.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Right, and so yes, so don't take your laptop out, Okay,
I've been doing it for twenty years, all right, it's
learning behavior, and I know that if I don't take
it out and I was supposed to, then I'm going
to hold up the whole line. And then I'm that
guy who looks like I've never traveled before. So I
don't know what to do these days. You know, maybe
and maybe maybe there is a huge sign that says,
at this airport, you don't have to do that, and

(09:52):
I just am too you know in my brain to
not see that. I don't think a TSA agent. I
don't think that's an easy job. I mean, you're dealing
with a dumb people, and people don't follow the directions
even when you tell them. I understand all of that,
but we got there's also a gray area here of
emerging technology. You know, they're gonna be airports where you
don't have to take your shoes off, and then you're

(10:12):
gonna take your shoes off, and they're gonna be why
are you're taking any shoes off? Well, because it's I've
been doing it for twenty years because of that moron
with the bombed is shoe okay? And they're gonna be like, well,
but here you don't have to. But then you're gonna
go to the airport where you're you know, you're going
to Charleston, and they're they're not doing it yet. So
you're gonna be like, but I didn't have to do
it over there, and they're like, but but you have
to do it here. And so it's it's gonna be
a big thing. It's like the person with the bag

(10:35):
that it fit on the way here. We're on a
different plane now, okay, like we're on a different plane,
I'm a different person, and then it will last. I mean,
it's possible that it fit on that plane didn't fit
on this plane. It's possible you're lying to me both ways.
But you've heard that one before where someone tries to
take their trunk that you know that they're traveling with
and they're like, no, but it fit on the way here,

(10:56):
it doesn't. But it doesn't fit now, Okay, all right,
thank you, Hiki.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah? And I also I also I brought up a
story yesterday from my personal experience that is making it
into what's trending today. It's almost like I can predict
the future, like I know what's coming. Maybe I should
start writing down everything that I think about from day
to day. Maybe not, though, because we don't need to
have all that proof of all of that. I don't
want to be subpoena dever. Hi Jason, Hi Paulina, thank

(11:24):
you for that incredible start to the show. Thank you,
it was really good.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, my peers be proud of the National Association of
Hispatic Journalists are in tone.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Yeah, what is that? I want to meet him?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
John?

Speaker 4 (11:35):
You know, I'm talking about Yes, I want to meet him.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Jonas is here and you didn't book him. I know, figure,
what would you do? John?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
He is like the godfather of like you know, broadcasting
for me.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
I love him. Hikky belha mean and at Shovis Shelley
are here. We've talked about this over the years, and
I've got in trouble about this, but and I get
the right thing to do is say that you would
be the hero in every example. But I've watched that
John kenyone show where like they're really like they'll have
people say racist or heart just mean or have you

(12:11):
seen his thing? I thought it's like set up scenarios
where they'll someone will steal something or somebody will will
like miss like say something rude or mean or racist
or bad or whatever in front of another person who's unsuspecting,
and then they're looking to see if you're gonna intervene,
So like if it were if it were criminal, like

(12:32):
if it were a matter of public safety, if it
were child, I would like to believe that I would intervene.
But on some of the stuff where people are saying
bad stuff to other people in twenty twenty five, I
don't know that I would jump, I would say something
to somebody. I might like call the cops. But I've
heard people be like, what do you mean you wouldn't

(12:53):
jump in between two people having a racist argument. I
don't know any Like I know it's not right, and
if it were, like if a woman or a child
we're unsafe that I don't I don't really care, but
I don't know. Like these days, I feel like I
would just call the cops. And I don't know if
that's what John Quinonez is looking for.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I'm crazy, That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Like I'm not I'm not anyone's hero here like I do.
I would. I can't watch something happen to someone and
not intervene. If I can say, like, oh my god forbid,
someone's trying to kidnap a kid or like ure them
and do it like now, that's different. But as far
as like people communicating with each other, I'm not looking
to get in the middle of people's arguments because people
have guns and knives and and so like they're always

(13:40):
looking for the person and they reward the person, you know,
for like getting in the middle of these conversations. But
I kind of tended like mind my own business, because
I also don't often know the context. You know, we
we witness and hear things in everyday life all the
time that I'm like, I don't know about that, but
I don't really know what I'm looking at.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
So yeah, you might think the cameras are rolling, so
you try to really.

Speaker 5 (14:02):
Be like, right, don't say that to her. Yeah, next
thing you know, you're getting beat up and drug That's
what I mean.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
So that's the thing, like, I'm not trying to I'm
not and I've had people in the past you know
what do you mean? I would get in the middle
and like, yeah, I get that, that's what you want
to say, because that makes you the hero, and everybody
wants to be the hero. I think the hero sometimes though,
is like hey, manager of the store, like, hey cop, right,
I don't know what's going on, but will you look

(14:28):
into that because you know how to do this. Me
on the other hand, before long, I got in the
middle of I misheard it and then you know what
I mean? So I don't we need to get John
Keynons in here, because I'd like to ask him three
format like what yeah, like, what what do I get
rewarded if I call the cops if I see something
I don't like, and what if I'm wrong and I
called the cops and I'm that guy. It's a very

(14:48):
stressful situation. It kind of is you're try and do
the right thing, but I don't know. I see stuff
every day where I'm like, hmmm.

Speaker 4 (14:54):
No, I stopped flicking people off. I stopped doing all
kinds of things. You guys know, he's okay now, then, God,
but my uncle shot at recently during a road breache incident.
Like people are not.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
That's the thing.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
Ten and two.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I go ad like, I want to do the right thing.
I really do, and I certainly don't want to see anybody,
you know, get into a bad situation. But I'm also
not really looking to get shot because I'm wrong.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
Oh right, now, you're the cameras first.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, but he's always in the in the back break room,
you know, with all the cameras, so I don't know
if John Kyas is there. I have to look around,
like you see something like really bad going down, and
you have to look to see if they are extra surveillance,
can like, oh my god, I'm on twenty twenty. Right
then you're the hero, stop that, right, now what you're

(15:39):
doing is wrong him? Yeah, you know, and then and
then sort of like count to three and see if
John runs out, and if he does it, then start
the book. It the other way, just kidding out, just
right right. The biggest stories of the day will do
him next to the Entertainment Report and blogs this hour,
what are you working on?

Speaker 4 (15:54):
K people are mad at Beyonce, which I think is
for a very picky, ridiculous reason. And also I'll tell
you who fell asleep during a sports match got caught?
And who has a no phone rule for guests in
their home?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Oh, so you go over.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
Their house, you got to give your phone up?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Okay, waiting by the phone. Why does somebody get ghosted?
Got that This Morning throwback throw Down name that tune
Battle show by Shelley in the showdown, one hundred bucks
is the price because she lost in a long awaited
tie yesterday, but she's never lost two in a row.
Bread show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the day.
So this is a nightmare. Really, imagine hundreds of oversized

(16:34):
packages appear on your doorstep and you have no clue why,
and I mean one hundreds of big packages just showing up.
Yet the shopping spree is not a shopping spree. You
didn't order any of this stuff. It's return. So that's
what happened to a San Jose, California woman. Her frustrating
scenario is linked to an overseas online seller who appears
to be violating Amazon's return policy. So this woman is

(16:56):
confused as to why palettes of things are showing up
at her front door NonStop at her house, has no
idea why and what to do with all this stuff.
Inside each package is a set of full leather car
seat covers from a Chinese online seller. The online seller's
Amazon listing advertises the brand as at Kim selling seat

(17:17):
covers supposedly made to fit various models and makes of
Sedan's and SUVs. But as you can see from the
front of her house if you can see it, and
I can, but you can't because this is the radio.
In many of these cases, the covers didn't fit, and
consumers said that they were forced to pay out of
pockets to return them to the company's return center. But
it was this woman's home and they just made up
an address, I guess. And then people start getting mad

(17:41):
on the comments, like where's my refund. Well, it's cut it.
At this woman Kay's house, Little Jday know, they're just
piling up in her garage, in part because the seller
put her address on their return labels. And then Amazon
initially says, well, why don't you just, I don't know,
donate them or something like they weren't they don't want
anything to do with this. Well, then of course it
makes the news. The company came and removed all the

(18:02):
packages on her property and is vound to crack down
on the practices. But I guess you can do this.
You can. You know it's some company somewhere in order
to subscribe to the policies to sell stuff on Amazon,
they have to do the following things. Well, they can
just put someone else's address there, I guess, And then
you've got crates of stuff piling up in front of
your house. I would go crazy, Yes, you would.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
You would call the police.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
I would call the police. I called What would you do?
The Tampa Airport is going viral for a sign about
taking your shoes off. Tampa International Airports having some fun
after the TSA announced the passengers can keep their shoes
on while passing through security. Some airports are now doing
this slowly, I guess, reversing the whole taking your shoes

(18:44):
off thing. TSA took to social media on Tuesday to
announce the update. A footnot at the bottom of the
post says, unless you're wearing crocs, you should take those
off and throw them away anyway. Followers were quick to comment,
saying things like crocs where a person's dignity seeps out
through the hole. The airport's social media accounts are known
for their humorous and witty content. A lot of the

(19:04):
TSA councerpt the main TSA count is funny.

Speaker 4 (19:07):
Love it.

Speaker 1 (19:08):
And remember a few months ago or last month, I
guess it was the Yosemite one of the national parks
was getting into it as well. So yeah, there are
some an There are some airports though, where you do
not have to take your shoes off anymore. But I
don't know which ones they are, and I don't think
they've really been formally announced. So you get to figure

(19:29):
that out when you go and get yelled at, or
maybe not get yelled at. There's a shark attack alert
bill that unanimously passed the Senate. I knew nothing about this,
but members of the US Senate unanimously approved legislation authorizing
Lulu's Law. The bill, sponsored by an Alabama Republican senator,
is named after Lulu Gribbin, who was fifteen who suffered
a serious shark attack last year in the Florida Panhandle.

(19:50):
Passed in the Senate on Tuesday, the new law directs
the Federal Communications Commission to issue wireless emergency alerts whenever
sharks are spotted in coastal waterways. The bill will now
go to the House for a vote. Major League Baseball
this is for baseball fans. They plan to use robot
umpire and technology for ball strike challenges in Tuesday's All

(20:11):
Star Game in Atlanta. The Commissioner suggested last month that
the Competition Committee was likely to soon take up whether
to use it in regular season games as well. The
system will work as it did during its tryout in
spring training. A human umpire will make the call as usual.
Whichever team doesn't like it can appeal to the machinery.
Each team will have two challenges, with the ability to

(20:31):
retain them if they're successful. Only a pitcher, catcher, or
hitter can ask for the challenge, which has to be
done almost immediately after the pitch AI like this, Well
you should because some of these some of these oms,
I don't know what happens that they're having a bad
day or what, but like they get on a streak
of making really bad calls over and over again. Well

(20:52):
that's what keeps us spicy. Like we got to get
mad at some people being bad at their job.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
You have this robot in here like making real time
decisions somebody, and.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
It's going to break up like the fights, because you
know when the fights happen, they have to like they
kind of get in there right.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Well, yeah, there's still gonna be an up there. But
it's just like, I don't know, they got to be
good at their job because there's a computer watching.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Us saying, oh, yeah, you're not going anywhere. We're just
going to get you a robot. You do, don't worry
justice when the umpires.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah they're working on a fredday eye right now, but
don't worry. There's no way to simulate the mental illness
that I have. So it's I mean, they'll figure it
out eventually. But you know, if if you think if
you think my game is predictable, if you think it's
that simple, just find someone that can match all of
our voices. Uh uh no plus plus I don't know
how they're going to simulate screwing with us all the time,

(21:46):
you know, in order for us to come in here
disgruntled and messed up and then, you know, and create
this incredible content. I don't know how they're going to
do that. I don't think they'll be able to. There's
a band making waves on Spotify. Have you heard of
Velvet Sundown. Well, they racked up over a million monthly listeners.
Kiki has the shirt. But here's the twist. It's not
even real. It's entirely AI generated from the music to

(22:10):
the musicians themselves. Their debut album, Floating on Echoes, dropped
on June fifth, featuring the hit single where is this
Dust on the Wind? Let me find that for you guys.
I want to hear dust on the Wind? Go mess
with my art? Dust on the Wind, Dust on the Wind.

(22:30):
Let's let's take a listen to this. This is all
AI and apparently well wait is a song from Kansas
called Dust on the Wind the Velvet Sundown dust on
the Wind. Let's see what this is. This is a
hit and it's on YouTube called bangers Only. Well how

(22:52):
about that? Okay, so fancy be gun to suspect something
was off. No life shows, no interviews, dust all in
the wind, I mean smoking scot sounds like a public.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
The drums roll.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Tell me, brother, if I heard this, I wouldn't necessary
if I heard this in like Walgreens, I wouldn't necessarily
think it wasn't a person.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
It sounds like the Kansas song.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
Like if you're gonna be ai, like, why don't you
just make something original?

Speaker 1 (23:37):
The most shocking thing that you've ever said was that
you know a Kansas song?

Speaker 5 (23:41):
Yeah, I'm the Wind?

Speaker 1 (23:44):
How do you know that? And there's a million how
do you how it's iconic?

Speaker 4 (23:49):
I don't even know if I know that song.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I'm not certain that I'm a music person, and especially
an old music person. I'm not sure that I could
identify that. Here here is Kansas by the Cold White
trying to play Total Africa. Wait wait, I'm an amazing song.
Not upsetting about that. Upset about that, but let me
hear dust on the Wind the song. I cannot believe

(24:12):
that Jason Brown could identify a Kansas song.

Speaker 4 (24:18):
It's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I mean, I guess I just the same song.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
The wind Smoke.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
It doesn't song Oh I have moment, yes, but.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
I don't know that I know the name or artists.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
It doesn't, but Jason Brown does.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Jason Kansas.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
He's never seen back to the future, but he can
identify Kansas song anyway, So fans were like, I guess
no one said, which maybe was the point. No one said.
The Velvet Sundown is not actually a real They're not
real people. It's not real anything. But people were like,
wait a minute. You know the band picture that banned
pictures for these non people, and they were like this,

(25:02):
why is the guitarist hand fused together? Like what's going on?
The Velvet Sundown confirm the truth in their Spotify bio.
I don't know who they are, right. It's anesthetic music
project with minimal human oversight, calling it an artistic provocation
about authorship and identity in the AI era. Critics said

(25:23):
the music sounds generic and soul list, but it fits
perfectly as background playlist and relaxing tunes. The project raises
big questions how many AI generated tracks slipping into our
daily playlists, platforms label them, and what does this mean
for real artists trying to earn a living Now I'm
not suggesting that I know anything, because I don't, but no,
I remember well about this at least. But imagine if

(25:44):
we have a real life Milli Vanilli on our hands
right now, and we're a social experiment. Like I don't
even want to say an artist's name to start the rumors,
but let's just say that someone who we consider to
be wildly famous is maybe he is a real person,
but nothing that we're hearing is real. It's all been
generated by AI. And you know what I mean, Like,
what can you imagine? And then are we mad about it? Like?

(26:07):
Are we mad that we find out that the presenter
and it doesn't match the creation? But yet they've been
presenting it in a convincing way and we enjoy the product.
So are you gonna like? And again, I don't really
want to make this up, but let's just say, Gracie
Abrams is AI. I'm not saying yes, rights see, this
is why, this is why pick somebody.

Speaker 7 (26:25):
I don't care Sabrina Carmon to pick anybody, right, anybody.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Want pick anybody. I'm not suggesting that they are, but
I mean, let's say, you know, for for a year
or so, everyone thought Millie Vanilli was these two brothers,
and it turns out or whatever they who they were,
turns out it was it was another guy completely. Someone
else was singing. They were performing. Their image sold the music,
so people were into the music, they were into the

(26:50):
image of the two guys. I guess the reason that
they picked the two guys to be Millie Vanilly was
because the guy who actually sang the song wasn't really
that sexy, so they picked these two guys they thought
were sexy. So the all three combined made this thing
that people were really into until they found out that
it was fake, and then they got mad about it.
But what if we were to find out that someone
that we really love right now is not has nothing
to do with the production of the music, Are we mad?

(27:13):
Are we mad?

Speaker 6 (27:14):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Or are we like? Wait a minute, but I like
the music and I like the image, so I like
the package, so I'm fine.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Oh yeah, all this just seems so unnecessary, Like I
get it, okay, people are using AI to make things
more efficient, your life easier, but like we already have musicians,
Why like, why are we making fake music? We have
songs that way, But if you.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Found out that you liked fake music, then is there
anything to be upset about.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
I yeah, I would be upset because I feel a
deep connection to music, like I got chills for music,
So yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
But you could also make the argument then, in the
last twenty years, a lot of music that we listen
to is not as it seems. The person may have
sung it or someone may have written it, but it
went through a computer and it was filtered and processed
and auto tuned. Songs that we love, like songs that
are considered like classic pop songs, we've later learned that

(28:05):
the person sounds like me, but it comes out sounding
like Britney Spears.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
That's I was gonna say. I'm mad at what they're
doing to Britney Spears because any music that she has
let out in the last I'll say ten years is
not her and she is not aware that it is her.
They are using old stems, they're using old vocals and
like running them through and I'm mad about that.

Speaker 5 (28:23):
That upsets me as a fan.

Speaker 1 (28:25):
But if you liked the song, then I guess I
wonder like if you if you liked the song for
a year and then somebody comes down and goes hey,
by the way, that was all fake? Do you now?
How do you? How do you take back the liking
of the song.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
That you can't? You have to, I would stop supporting.
Thank you?

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Okay, I say we turn off all the music tracks
at jingle Ball and make everybody singing a cappella calls.

Speaker 6 (28:54):
You can sing the lineup yet, but it's not gonna
have a buy your ticket.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
I promise we won't do that. Buy your tickets now.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
So mad like if Teddy Swims, I think that man,
oh no.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
No, that dude. That would be really.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Sing because I'm so soul full.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
But I would be so mad if it was fake. Yeah,
of course I needn't. Every artist needs to be tested.

Speaker 1 (29:19):
When I met Teddy Swims the first time, though, I
did say that to him, I said, dude, I gotta
be honest with you. Man. I heard your music for
months before I saw that it was you. And the
funny thing is he has a huge security A very
large black man is a security guard. Where a cowboy
had the two of them sitting next to each other.
If I didn't know better, I wouldn't know which I mean.
I would know that Teddy wasn't the security guard. But

(29:39):
I would also and the security guard laughed because he
was like, oh yeah, we get this all the time,
like he's got a very soulful voice. That's not the
package that I thought, But that happened, you know, from
time and time, things got ugly. On a recent flight
when a woman I was just talking about this who
says she's a lawyer, Not sure why that's important, try
to skip the line to get off the plane before
everybody else. Other passages when that having it and it

(30:00):
became a huge shouting match. She told people to just
deal with it, while someone called her a Karen. Then
it got even messier John Quinonees, but I didn't. She
accused another passenger of being racist for making fun of
her accent. The drama, complete with the crying baby in
the background, was all caught on video and posted a TikTok.
It's now gone viral, with thousands weighing in online. Some
say that she was rude, Others say she held her

(30:21):
own again. If you are in row thirty, you don't
get off before road twenty five. You don't unless people
are sitting there waiting for another flight. If they're like,
if you're on another flight, you know, if you're on
this plane going to Toledo. Then I don't know why
I always pick on Toledo. But if you're on this
plane going to Wichita, then you sit here and then
everyone else gets off. Well that's one thing. But or

(30:43):
if it's hey, sometimes you'll pull to the gate and
they'll be like, hey, a lot of tight connections. If
you have a very tight connection, then you know, let
everybody on the connection get off first, which half the
people don't do anyway, But but you don't. I'm not
going to go on this rant again. But we go,
we go one, two, three, four in order, and we
go every other. As Caitlin mentioned yesterday, that's how we

(31:07):
get off a plane. That's the that should be the
international standard.

Speaker 4 (31:10):
Yes, have some manners, thank you, they see it. I'm
an aisle, I say, seated to set the precedent for
the other people next to me. We're not standing. We're
seated and we're waiting our turn.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
It's got to be order.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
I have to sell nervous if you're sitting on the
aisle and then the people inside of your they stand
up and I'm like waiting for it and I'm not
even standing.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Go for it. I told you now, your booty in
our face. There is such a we live in a society.
It's National Pina Kalada Day, National Kitten Day, and Chronic
Disease Day to educate and advocate for people who live
with chronic health conditions every day. Be careful as we
you know, as we share our excitement for each day.
Because they don't always go in the right they don't always.

(31:52):
We're happy to say no, they don't. It is on The.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
Fresh show Man, Everybody's Still mad. During one of our
shows in Maryland, Beyonce was wearing a white jumpsuit, very
cute with white gloves and very long red, white and
blue fringe coming off the arms. Sounds adorable, right, Well,
lots of people on the Internet are pointing out that
the fringe somehow looks like the Russian flag. I don't know.
I never thought that. She took some heat on social

(32:17):
with one writing imagine the amount of prepetakes to make
a Beyonce concert costume, how many approvals by B and Co.
Had to be made each step of the way, and
all of them saw this spit and at one thought, hey,
this looks like the Russian flag, which in the current
political context won't look good, guys. The fringe is red,
white and blue. She's on a country tour. Everything is

(32:39):
American inspired. I don't think she was trying to secretly
side with Rosshia during her country concert. Can we not?
Can we not? I'm so tired, reaching so far we
are reading. Yes, it's it's red white. All of her
tour costumes are denim and American inspired. Yes, the Russian

(33:00):
flag has similar colors. I don't think Beyonce's secretly on.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
What I think.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
I'm just I'm just really exhausted. Uh, girl, I don't know,
but I'm tired. George Cooney's wife is also tired. Amal
has introduced a strict no phone policy at their home.
Guest visiting their UK home, specifically, I guess are asked
to drop their phones into this basket at the door,
and there are no exceptions, no matter who you are.

(33:29):
She shared with Glamour magazine that the policy helps create
private moments and spaces, allowing honest conversations and also protecting
their families privacy. Since becoming a parent to eight year
old twins Ella and Alexander, she's become especially vigilant, noting
that they've never shared photos of their kids online. George
also agrees he's even asked the media to leave their
twins alone, saying he wants them to live a normal life,

(33:51):
not one shaped by fame. Which you know, it sounds annoying,
like you want to check Instagram or whatever, but I
don't know when you're with people, I'm I'm okay with it.
I get why they would want to do that and
not have anything leak. So I don't know, but maybe
some people would have an issue. Kee, would you would
you drop a photo?

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (34:07):
My aunt does this as she like, we're not allowed
to be on our phone when we're visiting.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
So I haven't seen her in months, but I'm not
gonna be visiting her anymore.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Sad. It's sad, but she can't be a part of
my life anymore.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Yeah, she has a good, good intent. But and lastlie
real quick you Grant was a little sleepy while he
was attending a Wimbledon match. Because he was seen yesterday
slumped in his chair alongside his wife in London during
a men's singles game. Photos are now of course going
viral like he's truly sleeping sitting up, turning into memes
left and right, his afternoon nap drew even more attention

(34:42):
because Queen Camilla was seated right in front of him
at the Royal Box section, so of course you're going
to have all eyes on you. But yeah, he was
tired and his wife didn't wake him up.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
So that Wimbledon is like a it would be cool
to go, you know, I got gain. It's an honor
to be in that section and the whole thing. We
got to wear a suit in the summer, outside in
the sun to watch people like tennis. Like I don't.
I'd love to go. I'm not wearing a black suit
to go. I thought maybe he was dead, like dehydrated

(35:13):
or something. I don't know. I don't know that I
could rest in those conditions.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Rest. No, I don't often feel sorry for mine, but
I do feel bad for you guys in suits in
the summer.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
That doesn't seem like a great deal.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
No, So he was a little tired or dehydrated. I
don't know, maybe he passed out. If you want to
elevate your listening experience, by the way, we are going
live on YouTube, so you can find our page Fred
Show Radio, you can subscribe and then you can see
our little faces as we talk, which I'm sure you're
dying to do.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Questionable if it really elevates the experience. But but I'll
take you the production values high it is. Oh yeah,
we got like a little like a little TV show
over here with our director Kiki.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
Yeah, we're going to be recording little videos that you
can watch, like while we can't play certain things.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah. So apparently we don't have the licensing rights to
play the music yeah on the tube and then half
of our bitch somehow, because I have no I don't
get it. But anyway, some parts of the sus portions
of the broadcast are available on YouTube always on the
iHeart app, except not on the on demand content. We
also don't have the licensing rights for that. I have

(36:19):
no who pays? What are we paying for? Because it's
none of us.

Speaker 8 (36:26):
Honestly, it's never been more important to listen to the broadcast. Okay,
Jesus Lord gosh darn it, I'm working on that. That
fleeting comment, let's come back waiting by the phone. Why

(36:48):
does somebody get ghosted blogs?

Speaker 1 (36:49):
I wanted, I wanted to get to it this hour,
but I want to hear about the group chat drama
that that's going on in Kaitlin's life.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's I don't know
if a drama or I'm too sensitive, which is probably
I'm too sensitive if I.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
Had to choose. We'll find out next day. More Fred
