How would you describe John? For the people who don't

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Some people need love too, and there's not enough John
to go around.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Oh, it's been great working here. Wow, there's something else
about John's owner is I met him first when I
was eight years old at Why ninety five in Phoenix.
That's one of the first time I met John's owner. However,
the reason I bring him up is because a friend
of his name Mark, is the star of a movie

(01:55):
that's coming out today. Now, I gotta be honest with you.
This is the sweetest story and this sweetest concept. I'm
not sure that I can watch the movie because I
think I know what happens at the end. But it's
about he and his fourteen year old dog Abby, who
go on an epic road trip to befriend a dolphin. Ride.
It's a small world. Pee on the world's smallest of

(02:15):
the tallest trees, and more. It's it's a bucket list
for a dog who's ending, you know, you know, nearing
end of life. So they go all over the place
and do all this. They meet that I guess Goofy
was her favorite cartoon. So they meet the voice at
Goofy and he talks to her in a Goofy voice,
and the look on a dog's face is like what
is happening? It's sweet. It is an extremely sweet story.

(02:35):
But the very last part of it is him like
holding her in front of the ocean. And I watched
it this morning and I'm like, I'm going to cry
at work again. Normally I cry it work for other reasons,
but like this, now I was gonna cry it work
for this. But it's It's in theaters AMC theaters all
over the country this weekend. And we've got the trailer
up Abby's listmovie dot com where we go to Fredshow
Radio dot com and you can get to it's a

(02:56):
it's a very sweet story and a very sweet thing
to do.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yes, Yes, and you're lonely and you don't have a
dog or a boyfriend, get yourself a John Doll.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Okay, I mean even thinking when I see that, it's
hard to stand next to the guy, like at events
and stuff, because it's like all the attention goes to him.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Right, That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I'm saying when when something is perfection, they monitor triple
you laugh because you can get a date, but some
people can't. And everybody needs a John in the life.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I certainly never gonna have to be a John Doll,
right or anything like it. Yeah, no, it's never happened before. Wow. Okay,

Fresh Show.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
Actor, comedian and X to Katie Perry Russell Brand was
in a London courtroom today to face multiple rape charges,
and after a very short back and forth with judge,
he was able to walk out of the building a
freeman for now. The actor's fourteen minute court appearance was
as simple as answering some questions like his name, data,
birth and address before he was granted his bail. The

(04:45):
New York Times said that Russell thanked the judge and
strolled out of the courtroom without showing quote any visible emotion.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
He's being hit with a whole bunch of.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Assault charges dating back to nineteen ninety nine. He has
denied all of the charges, but he did admit that
he was quote a drug addict, a sex addict, and
an imbecile when he was younger before finding a life
in the Light of the Lord. There was a hearing
scheduled for May thirtieth now, but the trial may not
start for another year or so. Switching gears to Vanessa Bryant,

(05:14):
who honored her daughter Gigi on what would have been
her birthday her nineteenth birthday yesterday, saying she misses her
more than she could ever express. The widow of the
late Kobe Bryant posted a very emotional tribute on Instagram
with a photo of gg sporting her Mamba Sports Academy uniform.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
She wrote, Happy birthday, Gig.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Mommy loves you and misses you more than I could
ever express.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I love you. Jianna. Gianna was just thirteen years.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
Old when she passed away in a helicopter crash that
also took the lives of Kobe and seven others on
January twenty sixth, twenty twenty.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
I remember that was I remember it like it was yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
It was right before COVID and I was just in
shop like I refuse to believe that the story was real. Also,
if you didn't know, Gigi was a star athlete. A
young age, she started playing basketball, and she had dreams
of playing at the college level for the Yukon Huskies.
They even made her an honorary jersey, and the Yukon
Huskies were the twenty twenty five and CAA champions, with

(06:11):
one of the players even saying that she felt Kobe
and GG watching down on them during their big win.
La La Anthony and WNBA Legend Leslie, Lisa Leslie excuse me,
showing their love in the.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Comments to Vanessa as well.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I'm trying to put these all is one thing, but
like that is absolutely one that I remember vividly, sitting
on the couch it came on. I'm like, are you
There's no way. And then Princess Diana was another one.
I just remember that. I remember exactly where I was,
of course, September eleventh.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
I remember Michael Jackson because I was driving there playing
all Michael songs on the radio, and then when the
song broke, they gave the news and I just couldn't
believe it.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, yeah, there are a few things that you just
hand sy with you right, vividly.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
And now we're really switching gears because this is what
we're known for. Bobby Elthoff, that podcaster who is she
kind of got Internet fame over giving very dry, satirical
interviews with celebrities. I guess she did that one with
Drake in bed, which was really weird. Then they had
that whole falling out. But most recently she interviewed Whiz Khalifa.
Apparently she's never smoked weed before Ganja and decided that

(07:15):
should be her first time with Whiz Khalifa, one of
the biggest partakers in the history of ever, and video
shows her very much starting to panic. I think if
you have ever tried the old left handed cigarette the
Devil's lettice, then you know that that is very much
a possibility.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
A lot of people have that story.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
By the way, speaking of Wiz, if you missed this
and I had to do this story when Jason was out,
he Sean Paul. They announced their Good Vibes only tour
featuring the Baby. The fifteen date Amphitheater tour kicks off
the July sixth in New York and general tickets actually
go on sale today. By the way, way, Wiz said
he still makes two million a show. I just thought

(07:52):
that was kind of wild.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
Whiz Wiz two million a show, right, That's what I'm saying.
And he said his rate is the same for ten years. Okay,
I can how many shows you plan for that, right?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
And how many songs do you have, honey, that are good?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I don't know, but he no one asked, and he
told us, and it's kind of all I can think about.
By the way, if you missed any part of our show,
to take the Fread Show on demand and please set
us as a preset on the free iHeartRadio out.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
The Fred Show is on Friend's Fun Fact.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Fred Fun.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Learn so much? Did you know, yes, that hippopotamuses, which
is what this says, I don't. It doesn't sound right
to say like the hippopotamus.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Is No, it didn't. English major, English major right right back?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
And fellow English major, you.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Crazy though for two seconds that we both have the same.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Worthless degreesy and know it is. I know it really is.
My parents paid a lot of money for them. So
I'm really really sorry just for me to come here
and talk crap about my childhood all day. Man, I'm
sorry about that. Hippopotamuses can't swim? Did you know that too? No? Knock?
Can that be there in the water all the time?
They can't swim? You're telling me? Now? You always see

(09:07):
them in the water. But hippoes can't really swim. Their
bones are large and dense, making it hard for them
to float. Instead, they do a sort of slow motion
gallop on the riverbed or the seafloor.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, they're like fast too. Like they gallop. They will
get you. I heard you. If you're on a boat
and there's a hippoe in the water.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
If have you been hearing that? Is that? People people
on the streets talking about it. It's the hippopotamuses that
are running.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Around streets in the.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
River or something in the streets are worried about the hippottoms.
I've been worrying about a goose over here. And then
turns out again the hippopotamus estates the people down at
a time. More press show next
