Speaker 2 (00:40):
No, that's been like this.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's just like there was the beat and then you started,
and I'm just wondering, like, is that's just that's just
your flow, that's how you do it.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah. So in this day and age in the industry.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
In especially with AI, you know, in the industry.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's a lot and everybody's a musician in their own way.
So you have to differentiate yourself otherwise you will be
left behind.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And your way is to take the beat and then
just shift it over just slightly.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Just slightly, keep you on your toes. He to see
it coming. No, he talked all through me.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, I certainly no. Right when I thought it was
over and we had where was more? So yeah, you know,
fact like okay, no, oh wait, we're still more to go.
So headlines, uh, no news, no politics as as poling
it so eloquently enunciated. After more than thirty years in prison,
(01:26):
Eric Menendez was denied parole by a California board that
decided that he still poses a risk to public safety.
Now Lyle, his older brother, who was convicted alongside him
for the murder of their parents decades ago, will have
his own chance to argue for release. The brothers got
the chance to face the California Board of Parole after
being re sentenced in May from life in prison without
the possibility of parole to fifty years to life in
(01:48):
prison with the possibility. Eric's parole hearing lasted nearly ten hours.
His officials questioned him on his rehabilitation and listen to
arguments from the La County District Attorney's office against his release,
as well as please from members of his family in
favor of it. He'll be eligible for parole again in
three years. This was almost I mean a year ago
or so, this was happening, like they were getting out. Yeah,
(02:10):
and now they're not. And I know that it has
all to do with the political change in LA. But
you know, when the wasn't Kim Kardashian involved in this,
and like the Netflix special and all the documentaries and
people were like these guys, you know, they were abused
and they shouldn't have been charged his way and they
should be out by now, and YadA, YadA, YadA. But
now they're staying in, or at least one of them is.
(02:31):
We'll find out what happens with the other one.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Today.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
This story is for you, Paulina, and I just I
want I want you to know that we care about
you here and we've sat down and we were talking
to you about this because you're affecting our life negatively.
In the following ways. Chatbots are causing psychosis. Okay, Microsoft's
AI chief is warning about a growing problem called AI psychosis,
where people start believing the chatbots like chat GPT and
(02:57):
the others are conscious or have superpowers. You seem to
treat chat GPT like it's a human.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I do Why am nice to her? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Did they her?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And there are people that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Seem to think that somehow the chat GPT is like
prophetic or something like that it can see the future.
People apparently are believing this because like, well, how did
they know that? Well, they know that because I don't
know they have access to your computer.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's like, how did Walmart know that I needed to
buy eggs? Well, because if I was listening to you,
have you not figured that out yet? Is that not
clear that true? People with AI psychosis might think that
AI has feeling secret abilities or special powers, and some
even form romantic attachments. This person, though, says that this
is becoming more common and it isn't just affecting people
(03:42):
with pre existing mental health issues. He stresses that AI
is not conscious and confusing it with real consciousness can
be dangerous, especially because consciousness ties into rights and ethics.
So it is a computer. It doesn't have a soul,
and it is simply pulling from in for mation from
the Internet to give you advice.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Okay, Well, luckily I'm not that in yet. She's more
like a business partner if anything. Like you know what
I mean, you need to refer to the AI as
a human.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, she's kind of like my business partner.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
But I feel like it's only gonna get worse as
she gets stronger.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Like I feel like she's Yeah, it's gonna be a
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
She's out a sheet. You don't know them.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You don't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I just told you that the man, the AI man
Microsoft is.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Saying that I connect her it a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, okay, you never know.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So people are very upset today because Apple TV Plus
has raised its US subscription price from nine ninety nine
to twelve ninety nine per month, angering some of its
forty five million subscribers. This is the first increase in
October of twenty twenty three, and one hundred and sixty
percent jump since the launch in twenty nineteen, when it
was just four ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Apple defends the hike.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Citing shows like Severance and Slow Horses, and it's ad
free experience, so you're willing to pay the extra three
bucks shall for that?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
That's the thing is they get you. Apple TV plus
is crush it. Yes, Severance, right? Have you seen Severance?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I No, I haven't. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I'm on Bloodline right now, which I realize is old.
I saw it pop up on Netflix. I think it's
like ten years old. It might even be older than that.
But I was like, what is this and I watched
the first season. I'm like, this is honestly, it's an
amazing show. It's such a good So I think there
are three seasons. I'm on the second sea.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I got to start.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I know you sold it to me. It's on my list.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's about it's got that dude from Friday Night Lights,
the Coach. He was in a bunch of other stuff too.
Whatever his name is that, you know, kind of good
old boy actor. I don't know, James Vanderbeek is it no, no,
not no?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
But he's a cop and it's about this family that
owns a resort and it's like a crime mystery sort of.
I don't know, but it just content twists and turns
in this thing. Like last time, there was one episod
so in season two where I couldn't even look. I
was like what I mean. I was really engrossed in
his story. It's really good. But I mean again, I
didn't I somehow missed it the first time. So I'm
(06:08):
sure in ten years i'll tell you about Severance.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Well, yeah, Severn's is amazing. This studio with Seth Rogan.
Have you seen this?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I haven't seen that either.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
It's so funny. It is so funny. There's another show
on there with John Ham. We started watching I forgar
what it's called. But they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
There are a lot of my shows right now are
on Apple TV Plus, so I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I'll pay Yeah, I feel like everyone pretty much.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You have to have Netflix m M, and then most people,
I think, either choose like Disney Plus or or Apple
TV or all of them. By It's crazy when you
add them all up together, it's almost like cable. Sure,
Americans are watching all this TV and they're putting down
books and record numbers. With a new study revealing that
daily reading for pleasure has dropped forty percent over the
past two decades, it's Technology Advisor attention. Only sixteen percent
(06:51):
of Americans now make time for leisure reading every day,
including newspapers and magazines, down from twenty eight percent in
two thousand and three. Kids, you're still reading a whole bunch.
When's the last time any of you read a book
for fun?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Ever years ago before I became full time. Really, I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And that's the thing too. I think we just don't
have time to read.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And I know we like don't agree, but I feel
like the audiobooks are like the wave now, like that's
what I consider reading. Because I could do the dishes
right and listen to an audiobook. I can't sit down
and read it, just not because I can't, but because
I literally have no time.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I wonder if, like for your brain, if it does
the same thing, Like I wonder if an audiobook is
as effective for your brain as reading the book itself,
Like you have to read the words no and in
order to get to the true meaning of it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It's something about turning a page. It just makes a
big difference.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, and I feel that I have a kindle, but
I feel that way about like real books too. Need
to read a real book because then I set the
real book down and I'm like I did something, I
accomplished that on the kindle, it's just like, oh okay,
I guess the book's over right exactly. Guys had a
lot of outrage today and Cracker Barrel is the latest.
Have you guys seen the Cracker Barrel new logo. People
are very very said about this and they avenue logo
(08:03):
and they're redesigning their stores to make them look a
little more modern. I guess we're going away from the
Country Store. But if the restaurant changed twelve percent dive
in shares on Thursday as an e gauge, their new
logo is not popular. According to CNN, the new logo
has dropped both the man and the barrel from its signage,
opting for just its name against the yellow background that
says rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape.
(08:26):
The move is part of their major seven hundred million
dollar overhaul of restaurants advertising in the menu are story
hasn't changed to cleared the company, but the change threw
popular wrath from conservatives worried that the down home Southern
restaurant chain is abandoning its traditional roots. Here's the question
I would ask you, if you're that upset about Cracker Barrel,
when's the last time you ate the right? Tell me
(08:47):
the last time you attended a cracker barrel.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
What do they have there, like breakfast pancakes?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, No, it's like chicken fried steak. It's like southern food,
like oh got it? Yeah, you know it. Yeah, but yeah,
you go in there and get you at like a yeah,
chicken fried, taking eggs, breakfast biscuits.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You know, it's very heavy.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Sugar daddy, sugar da cracker barrel.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh they cracker barrel. They are, yes, they are yes.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
The sixty plus, Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Man, do you have to be sixty plus to be
a sugar daddy? No? Plus.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I mean if they're going to buy anything from the
country store on the way out, then you know they
love you. And finally, these must have been great chicken fingers,
because it was a shocking moment when a huge brawl
erupted on a carnival cruise ship after an apparent row
over chicken tenders. Wild footage shows dozens of passengers throwing
punches and kicking each other, and security struggles to break
up the clash. The carnage, if they're calling it carnage,
(09:48):
unfolded in the dining area of the Giant Holiday Cruise
at about two am on Monday morning, the final day
of its voyage is the cruise was heading back to Miami.
The brawl kicked off foot shows twenty passengers, men and
women becoming involved in a violent scrap. Several chaotic punches
are thrown, and more and more people join in. This
(10:09):
is all over chicken fingers. I mean, I don't play
with my two am chicken tench I want to know
yet one of these things seems like this is the

the phone.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's the Fred Show. Damn, good morning, Welcome to the show.
How are you.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I'm all right, I'm just trying to figure something out.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Here right right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So it's waiting at a phone, of course, and what
we're trying to do is figure out why maybe you've
been ghosted by this woman Brianna. So it'd be helpful
if we hear the whole backstory. How did you meet?
I want to hear about any dates you've been on,
and then you know what's going on. Now, why do
you think you're being ghosted?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, cool, all right.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
I'm so I met on hinge and we started talking
back and forth and finally I was like, let me
get your number, and.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
We went from there and it went well.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
So I asked her for drinks like a week or
so later, and she was like, yeah, So we go out,
we have a great time and check this out. She
even invites me back to her place, so I know
things are going well. We didn't hook up or anything.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I was gonna say congrats on the you know whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But this has been a theme lately by the way
dates going so well, they wind up hanging out of
somebody's house. But then the ghosting still happens. So you're thinking, okay,
we extended the date, we send it the day to
her place.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is all good, right, So you're thinking you're gonna
leave this.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is you're gonna call her the next day, set
up another date, like we're heading somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, this is beautiful, the environment to our place. We
had a good time. We even had a good night kiss.
Oh and yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Texted her when I got home. I was like, hey,
I got home safe, and she didn't respond. So I'm like, okay,
that's weird, but okay, whatever. So the next day I
text her again.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm okay, and I hope. I hope you.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's a lot of wise like hey, you know that
kind of thing. So you texted the next day and
then nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Still nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Wow, all right, that's puzzling because you would think you
would think that she'd want to see you again, I mean,
and kiss goodbye and the whole thing. But let's call
up Breonn in just a second, get a play song,
we'll come back, we'll call her. We'll see if we
can get her on the phone. You'll be on the
phone as well. We're gonna ask these questions on your behalf,
and we're always hoping that we can straighten things out
and then set you up on another date. Doesn't happen
very often, but when it does, we got the we
(13:00):
got the budget for it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Man soo Man, Hey, Sam, Joe.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
All right, let's called Brianna. You guys met on a
dating app. You want on a date, uh one going
back to her place pretty PG. But you kissed at
the end of the night and you texted her later
to say you get home. You texted her the next
day and you have not heard back. She is ghosting you,
it would appear, and you want to know why.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
That's correct?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
All right, let's call Brianna right now. Good luck, ma'am. Hi, Hello,
Hi is this Brianna. This is hey Brianna.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Good morning. My name is Fred.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I'm calling for the Fred's Show, the morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Can which half for just a second? Would you mind?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, okay, all right, well thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I know it's a little bit startling and weird. But
we're calling on behalf of a guy named Sam who
reached out to us and we just talked to him.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Okay, Well, he told.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Us that that you guys on Hinds, you went on
a date recently that he thought went really well.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I take it you feel differently.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I'm I mean I had a good time in the beginning,
you know, like I thought that I finally found like
a good guy.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
But I was obviously wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So why were you obviously wrong? Like what happened?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Because what we know is that he enjoyed the date
that I guess you both went back to his place
or your place rather, and there was a kiss at
the end. And now he can't get a hold of you.
But it sounds like there's there's pieces missing. There always
are pieces missing, it seems.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
I mean the date went really well, That's why I mean.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
And we were close to my apartment, and so I
invited him back for a drink because things were going
really well and I was feeling really good about everything.
And you know, we hung out for a little bit
and he left, and you're right, we kissed, but it
was after he.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Left that was the problem.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I have this polaroid camera and sitting at like my
kitchen table. And later that night, when I was walking by,
I notice.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Is this one of the cameras? By the way, hold on,
I'm sorry to rupt you.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I know we're getting to the best part of the story,
but I just I may need to explain this for
some people.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
This is the kind of polaroid camera.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
You don't know what a polaroid camera?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, I do, but everybody is. You know, we got
some we got some people listening to might not. We're
talking about the kind that you take the picture and
an instantly spits out a photograph, right, okay, good, I'm
just making sure copy right, Okay, you would have one
of those sitting there, and so you you walk by
this camera and.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
What and I see that there is a like a
photograph and it is upside down because because you have
to put upside down for to develop.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
That's how polaroids were. I feel like I have to explain, exam.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm ashamed that I know what it is and a
lot of people may not, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But they're coming back.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
I feel like they're cool again.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Yeah, I feel like yeah, like mine is really cute,
and I keep it out for my friends and like
when they come over, like you know, like we take pictures. Anyway,
he also took a picture and that would have been
really cute.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
If if you had taken a picture of his face.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You know, he did what do you take a picture of?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
He did?
Speaker 8 (16:21):
He took a picture of what.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You really wanted to say, you really wanted to see
what we all know? Sure, go ahead, Caylen is dying
to know. He took a picture of his elbow, and
that's what it was, left his elbow.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Well, I wanted to know if it was just the twig,
just the berries, the twig and the berry.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Have you ever seen one? You know, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Don't hearlate one from the other.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
But okay, so I need to see it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So he casually snaps the picture of it himself.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
He didn't just do that. He wrote his name and
the date.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So why would you identify yourself? Like, why would you
the date?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Is crazy?
Speaker 8 (17:13):
Every guy that came into my apartment.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
A sudden, I had a collection, But like why I
signed your name?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Like don't own that?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's a great that's a great question.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
I would love to know the answer. To and like,
I mean, he must have done that long.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I was like in the bath where I'm like, I
don't know, that's what I'm like, what are you doing
in my kitchen?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I got you, right, I gotta Sam is here. By
the way, we're got sorry, I got so caught up
in the story. I forgot to tell you and I
forgot about it. But Sam, uh, why man? Why that's
seriously why you're ghosting?
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Come on, that's funny.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
I mean that's good.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
That's a funny guy. Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
You like, no, no, like, it's not like this.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
This was the first time that I saw that of him.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Ready to go.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I mean I hope not. I hope that wasn't ready
to go.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Oh yeah, you better get it looking right if you're
gonna oh no, Like what.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Is going through your mind? Sam that you're like, I
know question, I know what to do. I see a camera.
I know exactly what. And by the way, we've discussed
this before, but you know, have you ever met a
woman before? Because most I don't. I don't think that's
I don't think that's.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The way to lead the way. Like, I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
If you like somebody and you have a relationship and
it's consensual and people ask for that and they want that,
then fine, But like if you think that that's like
gonna lure am in like a calling card or something like, oh,
I got to make sure I call Sam. You've never
met a woman before? Because I don't. And it's also
they're not attractive really no.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And like here's the thing. Polaroids aren't large, like they are.
A small photo you know, is very flat. Yeah, there's
no way to make the in that context.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Like, look, no, so you thought you were being a
silly guy, Sam, is what you thought?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Just I was just.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
D MS and this was a golden opportunity.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I had to see the age. The age with a
limp whisky.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Was bothering me.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
We're not sure that it wasn't were hoping that it wasn't. Apparently,
but all right, wow, okay, I'm very comfortable with my
manhood apparently obviously. Yeah, yeah, he signed it even like
who else wouldn't have been Like I didn't know when
he was right? Right? Territory done, sound like it? So
(20:07):
you find some new territory. All right, Look, Brianna, I'll
ask the question. I know the answer, but it's my job.
Would you like to go out with Sam again? We'll
we'll pay for it.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
Absolutely not, Okay, I'll pay you to not let me
do that.
Speaker 2 (20:21):

Speaker 2 (00:40):
No, that's been like this.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It's just like there was the beat and then you started,
and I'm just wondering, like, is that's just that's just
your flow, that's how you do it.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Yeah. So in this day and age in the industry.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
In especially with AI, you know, in the industry.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
It's a lot and everybody's a musician in their own way.
So you have to differentiate yourself otherwise you will be
left behind.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
And your way is to take the beat and then
just shift it over just slightly.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Just slightly, keep you on your toes. He to see
it coming. No, he talked all through me.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
No, I certainly no. Right when I thought it was
over and we had where was more? So yeah, you know,
fact like okay, no, oh wait, we're still more to go.
So headlines, uh, no news, no politics as as poling
it so eloquently enunciated. After more than thirty years in prison,
(01:26):
Eric Menendez was denied parole by a California board that
decided that he still poses a risk to public safety.
Now Lyle, his older brother, who was convicted alongside him
for the murder of their parents decades ago, will have
his own chance to argue for release. The brothers got
the chance to face the California Board of Parole after
being re sentenced in May from life in prison without
the possibility of parole to fifty years to life in
(01:48):
prison with the possibility. Eric's parole hearing lasted nearly ten hours.
His officials questioned him on his rehabilitation and listen to
arguments from the La County District Attorney's office against his release,
as well as please from members of his family in
favor of it. He'll be eligible for parole again in
three years. This was almost I mean a year ago
or so, this was happening, like they were getting out. Yeah,
(02:10):
and now they're not. And I know that it has
all to do with the political change in LA. But
you know, when the wasn't Kim Kardashian involved in this,
and like the Netflix special and all the documentaries and
people were like these guys, you know, they were abused
and they shouldn't have been charged his way and they
should be out by now, and YadA, YadA, YadA. But
now they're staying in, or at least one of them is.
(02:31):
We'll find out what happens with the other one.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Today.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
This story is for you, Paulina, and I just I
want I want you to know that we care about
you here and we've sat down and we were talking
to you about this because you're affecting our life negatively.
In the following ways. Chatbots are causing psychosis. Okay, Microsoft's
AI chief is warning about a growing problem called AI psychosis,
where people start believing the chatbots like chat GPT and
(02:57):
the others are conscious or have superpowers. You seem to
treat chat GPT like it's a human.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I do Why am nice to her? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Did they her?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And there are people that.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Seem to think that somehow the chat GPT is like
prophetic or something like that it can see the future.
People apparently are believing this because like, well, how did
they know that? Well, they know that because I don't
know they have access to your computer.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It's like, how did Walmart know that I needed to
buy eggs? Well, because if I was listening to you,
have you not figured that out yet? Is that not
clear that true? People with AI psychosis might think that
AI has feeling secret abilities or special powers, and some
even form romantic attachments. This person, though, says that this
is becoming more common and it isn't just affecting people
(03:42):
with pre existing mental health issues. He stresses that AI
is not conscious and confusing it with real consciousness can
be dangerous, especially because consciousness ties into rights and ethics.
So it is a computer. It doesn't have a soul,
and it is simply pulling from in for mation from
the Internet to give you advice.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Okay, Well, luckily I'm not that in yet. She's more
like a business partner if anything. Like you know what
I mean, you need to refer to the AI as
a human.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, she's kind of like my business partner.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
But I feel like it's only gonna get worse as
she gets stronger.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Like I feel like she's Yeah, it's gonna be a
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
She's out a sheet. You don't know them.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
You don't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I just told you that the man, the AI man
Microsoft is.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Saying that I connect her it a lot.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, okay, you never know.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So people are very upset today because Apple TV Plus
has raised its US subscription price from nine ninety nine
to twelve ninety nine per month, angering some of its
forty five million subscribers. This is the first increase in
October of twenty twenty three, and one hundred and sixty
percent jump since the launch in twenty nineteen, when it
was just four ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Apple defends the hike.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Citing shows like Severance and Slow Horses, and it's ad
free experience, so you're willing to pay the extra three
bucks shall for that?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
That's the thing is they get you. Apple TV plus
is crush it. Yes, Severance, right? Have you seen Severance?
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I No, I haven't. I didn't watch it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I'm on Bloodline right now, which I realize is old.
I saw it pop up on Netflix. I think it's
like ten years old. It might even be older than that.
But I was like, what is this and I watched
the first season. I'm like, this is honestly, it's an
amazing show. It's such a good So I think there
are three seasons. I'm on the second sea.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I got to start.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's so good.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
I know you sold it to me. It's on my list.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's about it's got that dude from Friday Night Lights,
the Coach. He was in a bunch of other stuff too.
Whatever his name is that, you know, kind of good
old boy actor. I don't know, James Vanderbeek is it no, no,
not no?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
But he's a cop and it's about this family that
owns a resort and it's like a crime mystery sort of.
I don't know, but it just content twists and turns
in this thing. Like last time, there was one episod
so in season two where I couldn't even look. I
was like what I mean. I was really engrossed in
his story. It's really good. But I mean again, I
didn't I somehow missed it the first time. So I'm
(06:08):
sure in ten years i'll tell you about Severance.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Well, yeah, Severn's is amazing. This studio with Seth Rogan.
Have you seen this?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I haven't seen that either.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
It's so funny. It is so funny. There's another show
on there with John Ham. We started watching I forgar
what it's called. But they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
There are a lot of my shows right now are
on Apple TV Plus, so I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I'll pay Yeah, I feel like everyone pretty much.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
You have to have Netflix m M, and then most people,
I think, either choose like Disney Plus or or Apple
TV or all of them. By It's crazy when you
add them all up together, it's almost like cable. Sure,
Americans are watching all this TV and they're putting down
books and record numbers. With a new study revealing that
daily reading for pleasure has dropped forty percent over the
past two decades, it's Technology Advisor attention. Only sixteen percent
(06:51):
of Americans now make time for leisure reading every day,
including newspapers and magazines, down from twenty eight percent in
two thousand and three. Kids, you're still reading a whole bunch.
When's the last time any of you read a book
for fun?
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Ever years ago before I became full time. Really, I'm serious.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And that's the thing too. I think we just don't
have time to read.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
And I know we like don't agree, but I feel
like the audiobooks are like the wave now, like that's
what I consider reading. Because I could do the dishes
right and listen to an audiobook. I can't sit down
and read it, just not because I can't, but because
I literally have no time.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I wonder if, like for your brain, if it does
the same thing, Like I wonder if an audiobook is
as effective for your brain as reading the book itself,
Like you have to read the words no and in
order to get to the true meaning of it.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
It's something about turning a page. It just makes a
big difference.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well, and I feel that I have a kindle, but
I feel that way about like real books too. Need
to read a real book because then I set the
real book down and I'm like I did something, I
accomplished that on the kindle, it's just like, oh okay,
I guess the book's over right exactly. Guys had a
lot of outrage today and Cracker Barrel is the latest.
Have you guys seen the Cracker Barrel new logo. People
are very very said about this and they avenue logo
(08:03):
and they're redesigning their stores to make them look a
little more modern. I guess we're going away from the
Country Store. But if the restaurant changed twelve percent dive
in shares on Thursday as an e gauge, their new
logo is not popular. According to CNN, the new logo
has dropped both the man and the barrel from its signage,
opting for just its name against the yellow background that
says rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape.
(08:26):
The move is part of their major seven hundred million
dollar overhaul of restaurants advertising in the menu are story
hasn't changed to cleared the company, but the change threw
popular wrath from conservatives worried that the down home Southern
restaurant chain is abandoning its traditional roots. Here's the question
I would ask you, if you're that upset about Cracker Barrel,
when's the last time you ate the right? Tell me
(08:47):
the last time you attended a cracker barrel.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
What do they have there, like breakfast pancakes?
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, No, it's like chicken fried steak. It's like southern food,
like oh got it? Yeah, you know it. Yeah, but yeah,
you go in there and get you at like a yeah,
chicken fried, taking eggs, breakfast biscuits.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
You know, it's very heavy.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Sugar daddy, sugar da cracker barrel.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh they cracker barrel. They are, yes, they are yes.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
The sixty plus, Uh.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Man, do you have to be sixty plus to be
a sugar daddy? No? Plus.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
I mean if they're going to buy anything from the
country store on the way out, then you know they
love you. And finally, these must have been great chicken fingers,
because it was a shocking moment when a huge brawl
erupted on a carnival cruise ship after an apparent row
over chicken tenders. Wild footage shows dozens of passengers throwing
punches and kicking each other, and security struggles to break
up the clash. The carnage, if they're calling it carnage,
(09:48):
unfolded in the dining area of the Giant Holiday Cruise
at about two am on Monday morning, the final day
of its voyage is the cruise was heading back to Miami.
The brawl kicked off foot shows twenty passengers, men and
women becoming involved in a violent scrap. Several chaotic punches
are thrown, and more and more people join in. This
(10:09):
is all over chicken fingers. I mean, I don't play
with my two am chicken tench I want to know
yet one of these things seems like this is the

Speaker 2 (11:00):
It's the Fred Show. Damn, good morning, Welcome to the show.
How are you.
Speaker 7 (11:04):
I'm all right, I'm just trying to figure something out.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Here right right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So it's waiting at a phone, of course, and what
we're trying to do is figure out why maybe you've
been ghosted by this woman Brianna. So it'd be helpful
if we hear the whole backstory. How did you meet?
I want to hear about any dates you've been on,
and then you know what's going on. Now, why do
you think you're being ghosted?
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Okay, cool, all right.
Speaker 7 (11:23):
I'm so I met on hinge and we started talking
back and forth and finally I was like, let me
get your number, and.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
We went from there and it went well.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
So I asked her for drinks like a week or
so later, and she was like, yeah, So we go out,
we have a great time and check this out. She
even invites me back to her place, so I know
things are going well. We didn't hook up or anything.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I was gonna say congrats on the you know whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
But this has been a theme lately by the way
dates going so well, they wind up hanging out of
somebody's house. But then the ghosting still happens. So you're thinking, okay,
we extended the date, we send it the day to
her place.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
This is all good, right, So you're thinking you're gonna
leave this.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
This is you're gonna call her the next day, set
up another date, like we're heading somewhere.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, this is beautiful, the environment to our place. We
had a good time. We even had a good night kiss.
Oh and yeah, I.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Texted her when I got home. I was like, hey,
I got home safe, and she didn't respond. So I'm like, okay,
that's weird, but okay, whatever. So the next day I
text her again.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I'm okay, and I hope. I hope you.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
It's a lot of wise like hey, you know that
kind of thing. So you texted the next day and
then nothing.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Still nothing.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Wow, all right, that's puzzling because you would think you
would think that she'd want to see you again, I mean,
and kiss goodbye and the whole thing. But let's call
up Breonn in just a second, get a play song,
we'll come back, we'll call her. We'll see if we
can get her on the phone. You'll be on the
phone as well. We're gonna ask these questions on your behalf,
and we're always hoping that we can straighten things out
and then set you up on another date. Doesn't happen
very often, but when it does, we got the we
(13:00):
got the budget for it.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Man soo Man, Hey, Sam, Joe.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
All right, let's called Brianna. You guys met on a
dating app. You want on a date, uh one going
back to her place pretty PG. But you kissed at
the end of the night and you texted her later
to say you get home. You texted her the next
day and you have not heard back. She is ghosting you,
it would appear, and you want to know why.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
That's correct?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
All right, let's call Brianna right now. Good luck, ma'am. Hi, Hello,
Hi is this Brianna. This is hey Brianna.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Good morning. My name is Fred.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I'm calling for the Fred's Show, the morning radio show,
and I have to tell you that we are on
the radio right now and I would need your permission
to continue with the call.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Can which half for just a second? Would you mind?
Speaker 8 (13:46):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Yeah, okay, all right, well thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
I know it's a little bit startling and weird. But
we're calling on behalf of a guy named Sam who
reached out to us and we just talked to him.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Okay, Well, he told.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Us that that you guys on Hinds, you went on
a date recently that he thought went really well.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
I take it you feel differently.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I'm I mean I had a good time in the beginning,
you know, like I thought that I finally found like
a good guy.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
But I was obviously wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So why were you obviously wrong? Like what happened?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Because what we know is that he enjoyed the date
that I guess you both went back to his place
or your place rather, and there was a kiss at
the end. And now he can't get a hold of you.
But it sounds like there's there's pieces missing. There always
are pieces missing, it seems.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (14:35):
I mean the date went really well, That's why I mean.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
And we were close to my apartment, and so I
invited him back for a drink because things were going
really well and I was feeling really good about everything.
And you know, we hung out for a little bit
and he left, and you're right, we kissed, but it
was after he.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Left that was the problem.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
I have this polaroid camera and sitting at like my
kitchen table. And later that night, when I was walking by,
I notice.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Is this one of the cameras? By the way, hold on,
I'm sorry to rupt you.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I know we're getting to the best part of the story,
but I just I may need to explain this for
some people.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
This is the kind of polaroid camera.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
You don't know what a polaroid camera?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, I do, but everybody is. You know, we got
some we got some people listening to might not. We're
talking about the kind that you take the picture and
an instantly spits out a photograph, right, okay, good, I'm
just making sure copy right, Okay, you would have one
of those sitting there, and so you you walk by
this camera and.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
What and I see that there is a like a
photograph and it is upside down because because you have
to put upside down for to develop.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
That's how polaroids were. I feel like I have to explain, exam.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
I'm ashamed that I know what it is and a
lot of people may not, which is crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But they're coming back.
Speaker 8 (16:00):
I feel like they're cool again.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Yeah, I feel like yeah, like mine is really cute,
and I keep it out for my friends and like
when they come over, like you know, like we take pictures. Anyway,
he also took a picture and that would have been
really cute.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
If if you had taken a picture of his face.
Speaker 3 (16:16):
You know, he did what do you take a picture of?
Speaker 2 (16:20):
He did?
Speaker 8 (16:21):
He took a picture of what.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
You really wanted to say, you really wanted to see
what we all know? Sure, go ahead, Caylen is dying
to know. He took a picture of his elbow, and
that's what it was, left his elbow.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
Well, I wanted to know if it was just the twig,
just the berries, the twig and the berry.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Have you ever seen one? You know, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Don't hearlate one from the other.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
But okay, so I need to see it.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So he casually snaps the picture of it himself.
Speaker 8 (17:00):
He didn't just do that. He wrote his name and
the date.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
So why would you identify yourself? Like, why would you
the date?
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Is crazy?
Speaker 8 (17:13):
Every guy that came into my apartment.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
A sudden, I had a collection, But like why I
signed your name?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Like don't own that?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
That's a great that's a great question.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
I would love to know the answer. To and like,
I mean, he must have done that long.
Speaker 5 (17:26):
I was like in the bath where I'm like, I
don't know, that's what I'm like, what are you doing
in my kitchen?
Speaker 8 (17:33):
There?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I got you, right, I gotta Sam is here. By
the way, we're got sorry, I got so caught up
in the story. I forgot to tell you and I
forgot about it. But Sam, uh, why man? Why that's
seriously why you're ghosting?
Speaker 7 (17:47):
Come on, that's funny.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
I mean that's good.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
That's a funny guy. Yeah, that's all right.
Speaker 5 (17:57):
You like, no, no, like, it's not like this.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
This was the first time that I saw that of him.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Ready to go.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
I mean I hope not. I hope that wasn't ready
to go.
Speaker 5 (18:16):
Oh yeah, you better get it looking right if you're
gonna oh no, Like what.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Is going through your mind? Sam that you're like, I
know question, I know what to do. I see a camera.
I know exactly what. And by the way, we've discussed
this before, but you know, have you ever met a
woman before? Because most I don't. I don't think that's
I don't think that's.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
The way to lead the way. Like, I get it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
If you like somebody and you have a relationship and
it's consensual and people ask for that and they want that,
then fine, But like if you think that that's like
gonna lure am in like a calling card or something like, oh,
I got to make sure I call Sam. You've never
met a woman before? Because I don't. And it's also
they're not attractive really no.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
And like here's the thing. Polaroids aren't large, like they are.
A small photo you know, is very flat. Yeah, there's
no way to make the in that context.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Like, look, no, so you thought you were being a
silly guy, Sam, is what you thought?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Just I was just.
Speaker 8 (19:27):
D MS and this was a golden opportunity.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I had to see the age. The age with a
limp whisky.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Was bothering me.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
We're not sure that it wasn't were hoping that it wasn't. Apparently,
but all right, wow, okay, I'm very comfortable with my
manhood apparently obviously. Yeah, yeah, he signed it even like
who else wouldn't have been Like I didn't know when
he was right? Right? Territory done, sound like it? So
(20:07):
you find some new territory. All right, Look, Brianna, I'll
ask the question. I know the answer, but it's my job.
