Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fred's show. This is what's trending.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Somebody said, oh good, we're getting to trending stories more
quickly today. They were complaining about yesterday in our little
debate that we had. By the way, yeah, yeah, thank
you for brand Yes, thank you for reminding me that
we're branding that. You know, it's it's morality Monday on
a Wednesday meets am I the A Hole. It's all
kind of the same concept, but we're going to figure

(00:23):
out one name that we like for it. And a
lot of people thought I was the a hole except
Mama Fred has made an official statement. I don't know
do we want to share the statement or do we
not want to share. I think she thought that she
had posted that publicly, but per usual my mom, I
love her so much, But it was a DM, so
she sent that directly private lead of the show with

(00:44):
her son's name on it. So, and then she called
me to tell me she did it and asked me
if she wanted me if I wanted her to take
it down, and I said, I don't know what you said,
but I'll go find it.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
But then I couldn't.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Find it, and I realized it was because it was
DM to US and never publicly place. Do I have
any like if I don't want to play the Olympic
music for no Olympic Olympic music.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I thought I had.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Something like regal to play while we read the official statement.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
We have presidential music, we had the royal Royal music.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
What's it called ruvio? I would yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
you would have to try and look for it. You
would have to do that anyway. Okay, Well, if I
find it, I find it. But here's the statement from
Mama Fred on whether or not the gifts that she
receives while living go back to the gift giver. Take
it away, all right now? Well, yeah, because we don't.

(01:37):
We don't have them. I don't have I don't think
I have that. I don't have the royal music right
in front of here, like, well, I don't know. I
just I'm waiting for review to find it. But he's
not going to find it, so here, just take it away.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Go ahead, don't put my crown on to make it
clear dot dot oh.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
So she didn't even start with like high or oh,
she is standing all bees.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
To make it clear dot dot space. When my mom died,
it was her wish that each of us girls would
get back what we gave to her. I gave her
all the good stuff, so I got most of that back.
I have set up the same kind of thing for
Fred and Amanda. I assume that Fred will get the purses,
scars and girly things to my granddaughters when the time

(02:23):
is right. Any jewelry he gave me, he gets back,
and he can reset it or do anything he wants
with it. Now in saying that what his daddy has
given me will be divided between both of them, the
grand babies and my sister, but those will be specific
in my trust.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Trust.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
And just to note, I do not have a burking bag.
But Christmas is coming. Bubba seven explamation points.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Oh, yes, she was really hoping to get able to
be that.

Speaker 4 (03:05):
I wait to see you in the armas store shop
for her first calibag.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Being verbally accosted. Yeah, they I'm not going to say anything.
A few times i've been in there, I I've not
necessarily felt like they wanted.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Me to pardon me, sir, what are you doing in here?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
There's no way you can afford anything, And I'm like,
oh my god, you're right. I thought this was the
old Navy, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Like that, I always get those. I'll get right on that.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Yes, a good first time before people start listening again,
and then maybe I'll buy a burkin after them. Guys,
NASA and what's trending. They haven't decided when or how
to bring astronauts home from the International Space Station. As
we know, Sunita and Butch have been up there for
a little while. They flew up there on the Boeing
star Liner. It turns out this was in June for

(03:56):
what was supposed today and supposed to be an a
day tour, but instead instead they've been up there since.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Well I don't even remember when it was.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
What is said for summertime, it's been yeah, but now
they're saying it could be February. February, so eight days
turns into like eight months for these people and they're
still not exactly sure how they're going to do it,
how they're going to get them back, because this thing
is that they got problems with the space, with the
with the ship that took them up there, so the
thing's dead. It's not going to do anything. So, yeah,

(04:29):
you go to space, you don't really know they know
how to get you there most of the time, but
they don't know how to get you back. How are
they just up there living? Like, so, can we just
live out there?

Speaker 4 (04:39):
I mean they're on the International Space Station. Oh so
there's other people up there with them, like real astronaut
the astronauts living there.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
They shared the space station.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
I will say these people are real astronauts now too well,
they're permanent astronauts.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
It sounds like right.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
It would give me a lot of anxiety though, and
they seem to be pretty cool with it, I guess,
but it would give me a lot of anxiety. Like
you really don't know, like you said February, but you
don't have that. You just made that up because you're
just buying time because you don't know right how you're
going to get me home.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
The problem is they literally can physically cannot get them
back home.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Yeah, the ship that the ship they went up there
on has an issue, so they get it to the
space station and they're worried that it won't be safe
to get them home, so they're just not going to
do it. So but they don't know how because it's
not like they got an extra room on the bus
going back and forth. Between you know, the space station
and Earth, right, so they don't.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Know what they're gonna do.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
I'd be like Armageddon and making demands like I'm not
paying taxes no more when I get back.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
To Earth, like not paying anything. Like everything's free from there,
you know what. I think they have all the leverage.
They'd be like, well they don't come back right then,
we just won't send it. About bowling, what's gonna happen.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
It's other countries up there with them. They can't get
a ride with them back to like you know, whatever
country they're going.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, see, I guess.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
But they live up there. They stay up there for years,
you know what I'm saying. They're supposed to be up there.
Oh my god, Well they don't.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
There are like extra seats on the space station, you know,
they don't like send it up a few seats empty,
just in case somebody wants to come home early.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Hey, I'll say, yeah, I'm getting home. I don't care.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
What if I had a non refundable vacation after my
eight day spaceship trip, I'm like, honey, I'm gonna get
a butcher. It's like, baby, I'm going to space for
eight days. When I come back. You and I going
in Tahiti. You know what we're gonna do, you know?
And now he's three months late for that trip, non refundable.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, it is crazy. I would have a real problem
with it, honestly. I mean, you'd have to send some
you know, some sort of psychoactive drugs up there or something.
I don't know. You did something to get me to
calm down, because literally, you like stuck at the party
and you can't leave. It's my worst nightmare, right, I
can't escape. There's nowhere to go. I don't that many

(06:39):
rooms in a space station. This is the worst field
trip ever, at least is being described that way. A
Detroit area judges response to a teenager sleeping in his
courtroom during a field trip is being called into question
after the miner was cuffed in front of her peers
and put in jail clothing. The nonprofit Greening of Detroit
took students to visit Detroit's thirty six District Court on

(06:59):
a field trip. When a student fell asleep during the
court proceedings, the judge singled out the sixteen year old
for disrespecting the court and giving him attitude. Having a
court officer bring the student before him. He said, you
sleep at home in your bed, not in court. He
claimed that it was the student's whole attitude and her
whole disposition that disturbed him. After threatening to jail the student,

(07:20):
he said that he was probably not going to go
through with it after some community backlash. I guess the
post of all of this on YouTube has been deleted
and they're saying it was unacceptable. But this is that
whole scared straight thing. Remember that TV show where they
used to take kids to the punk kids to the jail.
They try and act tough and then the prisoners would
scare them on purpose or whatever. Yeah, and then you know,

(07:41):
try and make it look like you never want to
come back here.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
You can't mean, maybe this kid need be straightened out
a little bit. You fall asleep in a court in
front of a judge. That's not very good looks. He
was just on a field. It wasn't like she was
at court first. So you can't go to a courtroom
and disrespect the judge by falling asleep.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't know. It sounds like maybe this kid need
a little a little scare. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, yeah's a judge. You got kids visiting your courtroom.
You're boring, bro, the presentation is boring, right, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Oh he needed he needed to shop at some visuals
or you know.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Yeah, yeah, you said they cuffed them.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
They cuffed the girl too.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Apparently they cut I mean again, maybe this was a
little drastic, but you know, I would have thought.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
It was cool, honestly if I was a student.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
But I probably would have just behaved myself. If I
was not behaving in general and then they took me
to a courtroom, I'd probably just try and stay focused
for that hour of my life.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
But I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
And the other thing is he was obviously he was
a male judge, Kenneth J. King, the Honorable Kenneth J.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
King.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
He was obviously trying to set an example for the
rest of the kids too. So I don't, I don't know,
you know, sort of who this group was or whatever.
But an Illinois woman was arrested after she shared and
all you can eat meal with friends Applebee's. They had
a special that allows customers to have unlimited amounts of
one of three mains, either bonus wings, shrimp, or riblets.

(09:07):
I did not know about this, okay, yet another example
of a company that should have been marketing with us.
I would have told the people maybe the reason that
they're not marketing with us is because if they knew
that Rufio found out about it, that we would have
another red lobster situation on our hands where they don't
have any money left because he ate it all. But

(09:27):
a woman from Chicago was caught gaming the system by
paying for two of the specials but then sharing them
with more than two other friends at the table. A
manager then explained that each person would have to pay
the fifteen dollars sixteen dollars, but the group disagreed. It
led to an argument over the bill. The police were
then called multiple reports of females screaming and threatening people.

(09:50):
The group tried to tell police that it was not
clear that each person would have to pay individually. However,
officers easily located the message in bold print on the menu,
and so there the remainder of the party that returned
to the restaurant then had to pay the bill in full.
But you can't do that. You cannot apparently order the
unlimited shrimp as an appetizer or something, and then just

(10:12):
let everybody eat it, which I gotta be honest with you,
that makes sense because if four people are eating off
of one plate, or even two people eating off of
one plate, that's twice the amount of food that's going
to be consumed, and that really sort of probably throws
off the whole point of the thing, which is that
a normal human can only eat so much. And so
they figured out obviously, I got to think that the

(10:33):
bean counters at Applebee's have figured out, Okay, we're gonna
get screwed over sometimes, but then sometimes people are gonna
come in and only eat one plate, and then we
were gain advantage on that. So it won't make money
in the long run. But if I were to take
all of you to apple Bee's and order one unlimited plate,
well then they're going to serve six times more food
on that one plate than they should.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
So this is obvious. Can't do it, Rufio, Now, yeah,
I agree with these on that one. Fred, Wow, that's incredible.
I figured you'd find a technicality. I know, I'd have
to see the fine prints, you know. Yeah, he'd have.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
To use his legal eye to analyze the situation. You know,
And guys, this is a sad close to what's trending
this morning. But Wallace Wally Amos Junior, the founder of
Famous Amos Cookies, has passed away peacefully at his home
following a battle with dimension. He was eighty eight years
old Famous Amos.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
He was on the episode of the Office.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
I remember that. Yeah, do they still they have the Yeah?
They still have them place?

Speaker 4 (11:31):
I think so.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Yeah, they're right next to the Anti Ann's pretzels that
I can never find either, like the store. Yeah, no,
I'm wondering, like Famous Amos used they used to have
a store, didn't they didn't they have a storefront? Am
I thinking of something? I just always saw them in,
like the grocery store they have that.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
We just had these actually recently and Marion we had
money on Famous and Marion Jinny Screen bought some when
we went to the winery. She bought them. Oh yeah,
I did hate them.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Really, that's a delicacy of Mario. Yeah, you have got
to be kidding me.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
We ate our way through Madi all. We certainly did.
And I'm paying for.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
Right.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
I got a layer, Yeah, I got a layer on me.
I did not have before money. I do love it.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Just to recap on our corporate adventure that we took
to Mariio on Incarnival and Dolly Illinois. Southern Illinois was beautiful,
flu Conto Airlines. It was chef's kiss. Don't ever say
I don't take you guys to the finest places, because
I did.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Stay hit up that applebe's down there.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, my friend Dennis, who organized this whole thing, and
and who else was involved. We had Dennis, We had Sadie,
we had dog dog dogs.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Do you think a lot about Doug? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, Is he the zaddy you've been looking for? Yeah,
he likes to party, to party, also nice guy.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, you know shots and.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh he certainly did. He was ready to go, my man.
But they organized we went on this trip that organized
a lot of very nice things. We went to these
wineries that are great and very stignature to southern Illinois,
went to some breweries, a place called Scratch. I mean,
this is really cool stuff, honestly. But the very first
stop from the airport, they took us to a Chinese restaurant,
which was delicious. It was delicious, I'm being it. It

(13:17):
was very very good. But I just remember thinking, we're
in southern Illinois and the first place you're taking us
is to a Chinese rete, like where, and everyone's kind
of happy. Well I know, but everyone's kind of like okay,
but it was so good.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
It was good.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
It was so good, and you would drive right past
this place. You would never think to stop there unless
you knew. But these guys knew anyway. I just thought
that was kind of random, but famous.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Am is the guy.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
He started his first shop in Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard
nineteen seventy five. The brand exploded into popularity over the years,
becoming known for its signature beige packaging and blue lettering.
He also authored several books as well. But you know
what has passed away? Guys, Wow, the cookies will live
on forever. Ah It's National Hazy Ipa Day, National leathercraft Day,

(14:07):
National Lemon meringue pie Day, very specific, and also National
Relaxation Day today as well.
