Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh Show. This is what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Oh, can we go back to talk about talking about
Paulina's wedding?

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, what was some other classic topics that everybody loved
hearing about Paulina's wedding?

Speaker 1 (00:11):
My wedding, probably my niece, your baby?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Yeah, No, I want to talk about babies.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Yeah, that one. We'll talk about forever. Babies. We love Valerie.

Speaker 4 (00:20):
I feel like we are arguing about salary.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yeah, internships, tippings a good one.

Speaker 5 (00:25):
Yeah, Millennial versus gen z topics, yeah, I know people
love that stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Okay, so listen to this story because this I need
to understand. So bitcoin, right, you're all familiar with them.
It's happy bitcoin pe today to all who celebrate this.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Why would you celebrate this?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well, the holiday marks the anniversary of the day when
in twenty ten, a dude got two pizzas delivered to
his house from Papa John's, which he paid for using bitcoin.
And at this point, no one knew what the hell
bitcoin was. It didn't have any actual real monetary value
because no one ever bought anything with it before. It
was the first documented purchase made using the then nascent cryptocurrency,

(01:04):
so Here's the thing. This dude paid ten thousand Bitcoin
for the pizza in twenty ten, which apparently today would
be worth seven hundred million dollars. At the time it
was worth they think about forty one dollars, and the
cost of a pizza was about twenty five, so he
overpaid slightly. Here's what I want to know. At the time,

(01:25):
this meant nothing to anybody. Did the guy who owns
that Papa John's take that ten thousand bitcoin and then
just forget about it because it didn't mean anything. He
was going for the press at the time, and now
he's worth a billion dollars? Like what happened to the bitcoin?
I want to know where the ten thousand bitcoin is.
I also want to know if the man who ate
that pizza for forty one dollars, how he's feeling about
himself today? How was it worth it? Didn't we what

(01:47):
Jeoffrey when he worked here? Didn't he have a bunch
of bitcoin? He's like fifty grand world away. He got
it to it when it was a very low price,
and then he forgot the password of the computer or something.
He sold it way too early.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
What it was like he was he was tied for cash,
was like, let me sell this, I could sell it
for like ten grand whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
But then like bitcoin flew.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Right after he sold it, boom he would have he
would have had over like a million dollars.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Why if you would have kept it?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, but can you imagine if you were the guy
who had who ever long ago that was fourteen years ago,
spent seven hundred million dollars on two pizzas and you
just I mean, he didn't mean anything at the time,
but if you just forgot about it, you're a billionaire.
And if he had ten thousand bitcoin at the time,
he had way more. So maybe he's okay.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But the other thing that will make you sick is
if you I see it on TikTok all the time,
these like compound interest guys that you know preach all
this stuff, like the amount of money that you have
to save each day in order to have a fair
amount of money when you retire is not that much.
And I'm not here to preach this, like, you know,
it's hard to make ends me. We were just talking
about that, but I mean, you're like the crap that

(02:55):
we buy on a daily basis. If you were like
not by one of those days and take that five
dollars and save it. I think it's like one hundred
some odd dollars a month if you could save it
may even be less. If you could save that much
money until the time that you're sixty, you'd have I
think it's like one point two million dollars in the
bank or something when it's over, just based on compound interest,
and I'm making these numbers up.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It might be more, might be less.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
But that's the stuff that makes me sick when I
think back at my age, of all the stuff I've
wasted money on if I just not and saved it instead.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah, this is the stuff that needed to teach
you in school.

Speaker 5 (03:28):
I'm telling you, no, it's true, not cursive or common
core math.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Come on now.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
But you're like, oh, I got to have this clothing
item right now, or I got to have this car,
I got.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
To have this thing, and like maybe you didn't.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
And then in you know, and I realized it's hard
now to think about if you're twenty something years old.
You're like, well, I'll worry about being sixty when i'm sixty,
but it doesn't take much. And then you got all
his money. So anyway, this guy, I'd like to know
what happened to those bitcoin?

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Do you guys have bitcoin?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
No? I never, I never. I mean I understand it,
but I never really.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Way too late to get into. It was so expensive
to get it. Where do you get bitcoin? Where can
I purchase it?

Speaker 5 (04:03):
There's literally ATM anywhere you could just buy a bitcoin,
but you're paying like for one bitcoin.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's what forty thousand dollars from bitcoin? Oh it is? Yeah?
Uh huh? I should have ATM like you go and
purchase it there. Thought it was like a stocking.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
No, I don't, it's it's an online currency. But like
there's there's ATMs like next to a regular ATM that'll
be like bitcoin, and ATM like a buy bitcoin. Here,
I've got an extra forty grand in my pockets. Let's
go buy one. Let's extra change just there.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
You know.

Speaker 5 (04:30):
I would imagine getting in when it was like a dollar,
you know what I'm saying? And then now how much
is that worth? And imagine having spent seven hundred million
dollars a pizza?

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Right? I don't know if I might un alive myself
if I a billion dollars for two Oh my God
at the time, it was so clever.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Yeah, he probably thought he got a deal.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
So, guys, the Boeing related story nothing to do with
the equipment, Okay, Boeing is tops. I mean if you
had to describe Kaylin the people that run Boeing to
the because a lot of people haven't seen them before,
how would you describe the brilliant folks at Boeing.

Speaker 4 (05:11):
Yeah, I mean it's basically looks like when you walk
in the doors like a modeling agency, right. You know
you've heard of like Ford Models in New York. Yeah,
and they hire only hot people that work there.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
And people brilliant.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's almost like a Ford model and Mit Harvard Yale
Stamper if they were to sort of mash into one.
That's what it is, right, brilliant and good looking. How
do you have it all?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I don't know, Boeing, you can't miss a hot person?
Can you walk in there? And brilliant and brilliant?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
And if you don't get the joke, then I'm not
going to explain it anymore. Passengers on Singapore Airlines they
were hit by severe turbulence on Tuesday, described by a
sudden dramatic drop and then all hell broke loose on
the Boeing airplane with two hundred and twenty nine passengers
in group. It was traveling along this airplane at thirty
seven thousand feet from London to Singapore. When light tracking

(06:00):
data shows a plane rapidly plunged before climbing several hundred feet,
and then it did it again for about ninety seconds.
You've got it. Someone died. Someone died in this thing
from the turbulence. A bunch of people were injured. You
got to see the inside of this airplane. Go look
at the photos of it. I mean it looks like
something blew up in there. It is wild and all
of this from turbulence. I mean someone died interurboty hit

(06:23):
of land the plane, Get the guy off the plane,
and a bunch of other people were injured. The airplane
looks destroyed on the inside.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I think it looks beautiful.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah, it wasn't their fault. Look now, they're supposed to
be in charge of weather.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
That's too much.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
How could boweling possibly Now? These people are lucky to
be alive thanks to Boeing. Right as far as I'm concerned, Yeah,
if it's not bowing, I'm not going, It's so funny
the number of people in my life now that text
me that my mom is like going to see Polly
and May and she texts me, I'm on a Boeing
And I'm like, I have other friends like I'm on
a Boeing.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I'm like, Okay, you've heard the program, all right.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Caitlin Clark, the twenty twenty four number one WNBA draft pick,
an NCAA Division One basketball's all time leading scorer, has
signed a multi year partnership with Wilson that will include
a signature basketball collection. The only other athlete who developed
the signature collection with Wilson is Michael Jordan. The company
has already dropped three white and gold branded Wilson basketball balls,

(07:17):
and they feature laser engravings with some of the guard's
signature moments from her time at Iowa. She's also going
to be an advisor to them. So she's making money.
She got shoe deals, she got basketball deal, she got
State farm deal.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
No, she's doing all right.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
And now some of those NBA players that were hating
I've seen her coming out, going, oh, this is kind
of cool.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
A lot of people coming to our games.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
The highest wa NBA attendance, I think ever, so sure
you're welcome. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Not off to a great start though. No, No, we
are coming for her. Oh yeah, oh yeah. No.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Every time she comes to town, they're like, you know,
let's show you some grown woman.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, but I mean it's just still an amazing story.
She entered ankle. I don't know if she's out, but
she entered ankle the other.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Day, so yeah, well yeah, she's like, I'm rich whatever,
it's right, And I don't know if I'm saying this right,
is it?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Taikuru Kobayashi, Kobayashi. I just know Kobashi.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I know that he's the Japanese eating legend who won
six consecutive Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest. He's retiring from
all future food challenges because he no longer has the
hunger to compete. He also no longer has hunger. That's nuts,
he says. This guy announced his retirement in a new
Netflix documentary Hack Your Health The Secrets of Your Gut,
after doctors discovered his brain had become repelled by highly

(08:33):
processed foods. For the past twenty years, I've been in
this field. I worry about the consequences of my decision.
But most importantly, I want to repair my brain and
my gut. The dudes made somewhat the vicinity of six
hundred and fifty grand a year competing in all these things.
But he literally has gone days without eating at a
time he feels no hunger at all.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Now that's all you gotta do is eat some hot dogs.
You gotta eat a lot of hot dogs, all right,
So you eat the hot dogs and then your brain
forgets that you're hungry.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
I mean, but we're talking. This guy's probably eat what
thousands of hot dogs?

Speaker 3 (09:02):
I don't see the problem, but hasn't heard of hot dogs?

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well?

Speaker 2 (09:07):
And I read a story this morning about it. Now
there's stuff with those epic there were don't do it?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Don't do it? Are you gonna do it? Absolutely?

Speaker 6 (09:15):
When I'm done breastfeeding, it's on me and ozempic Oh yeah,
oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
It must be.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
It might And this is just my personal opinion, doesn't
reflect that of Boeing or anyone else. It must be addictive, though,
because most of the people I know who are doing it,
in my opinion, are taking it one step too far
or like or I don't know, if it's just the
physiology of it or whatever. But like I've seen some
people who have lost a tremendous amount of weight, and
that's amazing for them, but in some ways they look gaunt,

(09:43):
like it's almost it's almost like too much in some cases.
And if that's good for your health and that makes
you feel good, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
But like I don't know, I feel like, well, like
you may be speaking of, they really weren't like large
to begin with, like you know what I mean, So
obviously it's gonna show a lot when they're like super
super skinny, But I do agree with.

Speaker 6 (10:02):
The taking it too far thing. You can sit in
the face, you know, they lose the booty, like, there's
a lot of parts that you can tell right away. Unfortunately,
like you know what I mean. But on top of
that too, like I just fine, a lot of people
are using it that aren't even maybe like even overweight
or for the right so it's kind of that that's
unfortunate too.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
But I don't know, I don't know. I think the
compliments get addicting. You know, you keep going, everyone's telling
you look also like somebodies are everybody's bodies a different shape,
so you're not not everyone's supposed to be like stick thin.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
You know, well, I'll be honest as giddy and the
torture my trainer as he throws me around that gym.
It's becoming more attractive to stab myself with a with
a ozembic, Like the idea of getting myself an injection
electively is frightening. And I realized people went with diabetes
they have to do that and whatever else. But like no, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I mean to like stab my I don't even want

(10:49):
the doctor to stab me with a needle for something
I got to do at home. Now I'm gonna stab myself. No,
but but it hurts at the gym, and I'm thinking
about it. I'm thinking about is ozempic this? Let's do
it around for the team? Yeah, just buy around. Have
you ever seen, know you talk about like all, go
eat some hot dogs and I won't get hungry anymore?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Have you ever?

Speaker 2 (11:09):
First of all, I don't think that's a gift, Like
can you imagine not being hungry?

Speaker 1 (11:13):
That would suck? I can't imagine. Actually.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Well, and the other thing is, have you ever seen, like,
especially in person, have you ever seen a food eating
competition of any kind?

Speaker 4 (11:26):
No?

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Not in person? It is disgusting. It looks nasty. Don't
even professionals, And that was disgusting. You went to that
bow eating one right, Oh my god. And then at
the end of it, they're like, you want some bow.
I'm like no.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I mean people like they had these gigantic pictures of water.
They were dipping the bow in the water and just
shoving them in their They were just trying to get
it to a consistency where it would just slide on
down so they could eat as many of these things
as possible.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
It's not natural, It's not okay Jesus excited.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Oh yeah, any water eating it as a skilled day,
I mean, but yeah, I don't know. And I would
be sad if I didn't, if I weren't hungry anymore,
Like you obviously right, you can't eat just anything all
the time everything, But that would be very I'd be
very sad.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
When I was on etterall, I wasn't hungry at all,
and it was the saddest thing in my life.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Like I love food too much. Yeah, I love food.
Sometimes love it.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
I wish I weren't hungry, But then other times, all
the time I wouldn't want to take it away.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
From me.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
It's National Craft Distillery Day, Emergency Medical Services for Children Day,
