Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you ready right off the top? Are you ready
to know why you were offended today?

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yes? Reason to be offended? Oh is.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
A high school sports announcer was caught on a hot
mic making lude jokes. This story says about suicide and
soccer moms. But this guy's name is Toby. He's covering
high school soccer, so Toby Moore is his name. I
don't know if we're going to be seeing him, you know,
in the big leagues anytime soon. But he made the

(00:29):
comments as he was covering a high school game in
Kansas between two female soccer teams and actually accidentally left
his mic on during halftime. Speaking to an assistant in
the room, he began a five minute rant by saying
he wanted to jump from the press box because the
students were playing so poorly. I guess that's the suicide reference.
He then goes on to talk about the bonus of
calling a high school soccer being able to stare at

(00:51):
the hot soccer moms. Oh my god, I'd play some
of this, but he curses, and then what else is
he going to say? That he could feel one of
the mom's booties from the press box.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Wow, she has nice curves.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
He says it goes on and on. Apparently, he's been
barred from covering local high school games and was fired
by the production company that employed him to call the games.
He also released an apology for his comments. We can
post this, I guess, I'm wow, but it wasn't supposed
to be on the lesson. Number one that we don't
follow around here is that there's a microphone around. Then

(01:34):
don't say anything that you wouldn't want to go on
the air. That is not something that we follow. You
guys have more trust in me than you imagine, because
not only and Rufio too, because not only do I
am I in charge of turning the microphones on and off,
but I also have the little record buttons over here
that I don't I don't use to my advantage nearly enough.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Should we not trust you, No, you should, because we've
been doing this for thirteen plus years and you know,
I'm not aware of any snaffoo of any kind like that.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
But I'm just saying I certainly could. Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
I think between between Rufio and and me, we could
come up with something if we needed to carry one
of you.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh yeah, yeah, you think? Is that something? Else it's
a joke, but you know all the records, We're just kidding,
you know, so am I.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
But Ruby also talks all the time about how he
could put together years of me doing this show, hosting
this show like almost Ai Fred but I'm dead.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I mean, how long do you think? How do they
know it's not Ai? Right now? You don't know that well?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
You know that well, I think A I would probably
be better at this time, maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Or maybe not.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Maybe it's the fact that I'm not all that good
at this that makes it, you know, just that much
makes me that much more lovable. You know, if it
were flawless, if I were perfect at it, then it
would be like this is boring. But you know AI
doesn't have you know, significant mental health issues.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I'd be a.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
You know, a veritable disaster in many aspects of life.
So I mean, how you can duplicate that there's only
one me?

Speaker 2 (03:08):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
You give him time, you know, AI fallen in love
with people and all kinds of different stuff. So in fact,
there's an AI story, And what's trending today it's about
something you're not supposed to do and why we shouldn't
and why believe it or not. I believe that I
am more trustworthy to provide you with information than AI is.
I'll tell you why it is the second. But I mean,
are we upset about this? The dude is First of all,
he's I don't know what we expect. It's not Bob Costas.

(03:29):
He's covering a high school soccer game. He also didn't
think he was being recorded. I mean, what are we
mad about this? Are we that upset? He says that
they're not very good at soccer and that the moms
are hot. It's basically what he was saying, which both
might be true.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
Like it was on a hot mic or someone just record,
like it was a recording at some of this.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
This is calling it a hot mic. Okay, the p
the whole broadcast. Yeah, I guess yeahed right exactly. Yeah,
he let those inner monologues out. Yeah, he learned his
lesson by now. We don't need to. We can give
him some grace. That's embarrassing enough. I would choose another

(04:13):
career altogether.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
I think I think you may have to the purposes.
I would like to, you know, the hot moms he's
talking about. You know, you might want to check it
would be helpful to know if this man has any taste.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
The one of the booties going where to the prim.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Apparently Britney Toxic was playing, and then he also seriously
he also comment about that. I mean, I don't know that.
I actually don't know. I'm not sure that this isn't
something I'd like to watch. I mean, now, are we
sure this isn't a good idea? Are we sure that
this man covering high school women's soccer isn't you know,
something that would make people watch high school women's soccer more.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
I need to hear both sides of this, but anyway,
that's the moral of the story this morning. That's what
we're upset about, is that you're not supposed to you.
I was supposed to talk about the hot soccer moms
in attendance at the soccer event, and you're not allowed
to say that the high school students are not very
good at soccer. I guess, I guess we need a
more positive mental attitude if we're going to be covering

(05:13):
these sports. Yeah, I expect I expect more from from
my journalists, but I'll send this to Jason. He composed
that you can watch you can see if you're disgusted
or not. I mean, that's again, I can't play the
whole thing. And I haven't listened to all five minutes
that this guy going off about hot soccer moms.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
So oh yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Man kept going right, change careers. Now here's the other thing, though.
He did end the conversation, and this is when you
know what's going to happen if you're this person. This
is when you're in the Wiley Coyote road Runner cartoon.
And if you don't know that reference, then I'm sorry
for you. But he ended the conversation in this recording

(05:52):
by noting how much trouble they would get in if
anybody heard their remarks. It's almost like it was on purpose.
But I mean, because to say that and then for
it to be out there, you know, but he did.
I don't know if I mentioned he did make an apology.
He shoot an apology.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
What are you saying that?

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Like?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Sorry? I said, you have a nice but I don't.
I don't. Maybe the mom's like, no, hold on, right,
do you not apologize?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I mean, my kid is not as terrible as soccer
as he or or if anything that was anything like
my high school basketball games. My parents probably would have
been like, well, he's not wrong. My kid is terrible
in basketball, But thank you for the comment about my
ass because I've been working hard on it. Yeah, I mean, so,
let's I need I need. I agree with Rufio. I
need all the information before I can judge completely. We've

(06:36):
heard so much worse on the hot mic as I
turned the microphones off. Now trending stories in two minutes,
Fred show. Wouldn't that be crazy enough? If I like
didn't turn the mics off and then we just like
kept talking to the song too. It would be so
bad though here? What do you think of management around here?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Oh my, let me tell you about those twos

Speaker 4 (07:04):

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
