Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is the press show, this is what's trending. Let me
see if I have the audio to go with this,
because the dude, who do I have it? Do I
have it? I don't have it. But the dude who
is running NASA, he is like seven hundred years old.
He looks like he's said maybe so. I'm sure he's
a very nice, very intelligent man, but he is not.

(00:22):
He is not a young man. I just wanted to
comment on that because I was like, oh, this is
the guy. But NASA announced yesterday, guys, they've chosen SpaceX
to bring home two astronauts who are stranded on the
International Space Station after a technical issue with the Boeing
star Liner capsule that brought them there. The star Liner
is going to return to Earth in September with nobody

(00:43):
on board because they don't trust it. So what does
that mean. That means that our friends Barry and Sunita.
Butch and Sunita are not coming back to Earth until
February of next year. Oh my gosh, So they went
up there? When did they go up there? In like
a lie or June for eight You're supposed to be

(01:05):
for eight days, eight days? And now they're like, hey, sorry,
we don't trust this this ship, we got problems with it.
We're gonna send it back by itself. We don't want
to put you on it, which is nice. That's a
nice thing. If they're like, we're not sure. Somebody hop
on though, but hop on so you'll see how this goes. No,
they're not sure, so that no one's going on it.
They're gonna send it back by itself. They're gonna send

(01:27):
SpaceX Crew Dragon that capsule to pick them up. But
apparently it was all pre planned and they can't do
it until February. So the decision is yet another failure
for Boeing, which recently paid a two hundred and forty
million dollars fine related to two passenger plane crashes. And
then I guess they paid or NASA paid a flat

(01:47):
fee for this, So like everything beyond that is on Boeing.
It's like billions of dollars over and so NASA's like,
we paid what we paid and then they were supposed
to do this. They didn't get it done. Sorry, but
all the overages are bowing. This is a big deal.
I would be so pissed. I thought I was going
for eight days. I went for eight months in space,
telling you I.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Would have a list of demand, a list of demands,
like when I get back to Earth, I'm paying taxes.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
The more I'm not paying bills, the more I'm everything's
free in my life. But you don't have any leverage
because you're stuck and they got to come get you,
so you don't get to say stuff like that, and
they'll be like, I don't know if we can do that.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I'd be like, I want to free flight on not
in a Boeing to anywhere in the world.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Oh yeah, I'm sorry, but no more Boeing. You left
my asses in space. You didn't leave me at Olpasso,
you know, for a few hours when Southwest, you know,
plane broken or whatever. No, you left me in space.
I mean, but that must, I mean you must. Psychologically,
I would need a lot of therapy because I'm now trapped.
Like if you would, you're saying to me it's August

(02:54):
and you're saying to me you're not going anywhere until February.
I would never feel more enclosed in my whole life.
That's all You're already like in a tiny little space
station thing. I would never feel more isolated than were
They tell me. Sorry, you're I mean, you're gonna miss
everything and Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's forget about it.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Okay, what's important the starlighter, Like, we're gonna come, We're
gonna come get this thing.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
We're gonna send it back. You guys just stay up
there like, well, I don't think it's that. I don't
think they're saying the starlighter is more important. I think
they're saying, we got to get rid of this thing,
and we don't want to put anyone on it because
we don't think it's gonna They must really not think
it can make it back. And I'm okay with that.
If you guys have some information in your little computers
down there and you know wherever you are, NASA, Cape,
Canamral or whatever, and you're like, this thing's not gonna

(03:34):
make it bad, we really don't know. That's okay, thank
you for telling me. I'll be a little late. Yeah,
but why why why February? Like what, because that's when
that's when the other one, eli musk SpaceX was already
scheduled to go up there. We can't just move the day.
Apparently we're not gonna pay more. Why, I guess you
like we who ows it? Charged to figure out we're

(04:01):
space force? Don't have them? Don't we have a police
force out there now? I mean, and they just go
get them and bring I was reading about it, like,
I guess the SpaceX requires like different spacesuits than the
ones that they already used for the Boeing. So now
they got to make these spacesuits, custom space suits for
these astronauts that they aren't there. So they kind of
got to like willly nearly make these things if they

(04:21):
don't order them from and let's move on, they gotta
get some tu They got on and the TEAMO. Would
you know it takes a little while. I don't know
if you ever try to order they could get Amazon US.
What is going on? That's funny because it turns out
that Butcher just ordered that new Aaron Rodgers book I
think showed up on the same day. It was crazy.
Although why you couldn't hop on with that guy and
head back home? But wow, I mean, you're right though.

(04:46):
When I get back, I'm like, okay, So parade for
me first of all, Parade for Butch and and Canita
first of all. Second of all, whatever time I had
left to a retirement is as happened. Yeah, because in space,
every day that I work counts for times thirty. So
we're all set with that. Like I'm retired now. Thank

(05:07):
you all the endorsement deals. I mean, i'd be up
there making tiktoks. I would be up there monetizing. You
have to get all kinds of time. Now, it's wild.
I mean that is truly messed up. It is. And
they're families everybody else, you know. It's like, I mean,
at least they didn't put them on an unsafe spaceship
just to get them home. But at the same time,
I mean again, you thought you were going to see

(05:28):
you know, Uncle Butch in eight days, right for Christmas?
Eight months? No, you're not gonna see him, see And
like I'm all for science and I'm all for space, right,
I think it's cool, but I just don't know why
we're sending humans up there. No, I really don't know
why we're doing that. Like, I don't know, it just
seems I'm safe at this point. Well, I mean we've
been doing it for forty years, so I think you're yes, Well, well,
well I'm just saying, like either the ones who go

(05:50):
what is it the Titanic one. What is that called? Right?
Like we were doing that? Well, what's that that guy?
Well he can't use there anymore. But yeah, I don't
think it's too much error room for air. I don't
like it. Okay, well I'm you don't have to go anymore.
I'm saying right here on Earth in this seat. But
I will say, at per the Fred Show constitution, those
are real astronauts. They went to real space. This is

(06:11):
not rich guy space. This isn't sixty thousand feet we're
floating around a little bit cool for like, no, no, this, no,
this is not JTT situation. These guys went deep and
now they're going to be there for a long time,
and they should be on a stamp or something. I'm serious,
this is a big deal. I do too, But I
just can't believe that, Like they don't have a better

(06:32):
they have no better way of doing this, Like I
can't believe that it's going to take them six months
to It's almost like they have to invent a way
to get to space again or something. A Texas man
was arrested after kidnapping a rideshare driver at gunpoint, forcing
him to drive over one thousand miles to Miami. The
suspect order to ride to a gas station that was
closed when the two arrived. The man then pulled a

(06:52):
gun on the driver, threatened to tie the victim up
and put him in the back of the vehicle, but
then told him to drive a thousand miles instead. When
they got to Florida, the guy made the driver go
to the store by supplies for a second kidnapping instead
of following through, though he fled when he got the chance.
Police later found the guy with the gun and arrested him.
But you know, I've told it's been a meme. It's

(07:13):
been a lot of things, and the joke's been told before.
But like, remember when you were a kid and it
was like, don't meet people on the internet, don't talk
to strangers. And now we meet people on an app
called Uber and we get in their car and we
don't know them, and then we drive around and that
goes the other way too. For the driver, you got
random people in your car one hundred times a day
and anything could happen.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Remember when Uber first started, you would sit in the
front seat, Like.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Really, yeah, When I first started taking.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Uber, I was like, do you sit in the back
because it's not a taxi, so you would just sit
in the front and then other people would get into
I was like, okay, so yeah, really yeah. I always
said in the front because I thought it's like I
didn't feel like.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
It was a taxi.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
In a taxi, you sit in the back, but in
an uber and then they would have you know, the
uber pool where like one's in the front, everyone's in
the back, so it's just crazy.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I never did. I never had that. I remember exactly
where I was when somebody first told me about Uber
a bunch of years ago, like, hey, you this uber thing.
It's black cars and it's cheap. It's like robbery, Like
how are we doing this? And the guy I downloaded
and I put his little coat in and then he
gets free rides and it was like black car five dollars,
drives you around like what. I'm like, this is a
scam and I order it and sure enough dude pulls

(08:25):
up and like an suv, black shiny suv. I'm like,
this is amazing. That's how they hooked you, and now
we're all addicted it. It was a gateway drug. It
was cheap. For a while, it was cheap and awesome,
and now it's expensive and not always awesome. A guy
he beat out Jeles Lebron. This is the woman who's
very demure, very mindful, very cute. See this guy beat

(08:49):
her on that trademark. So Jules Lebron is their name
and without trademarking the phrase very demure, very mindful in
a sense a video, Lebron's crying and explaining that they
wanted to make some money so much for their family
and pay for their transition. They add that by not
filing the trademark first, they've blown their opportunity. A Washington

(09:11):
State guy named Jefferson Bates applied for the trademark very demure,
very mindful, hoping he makes some money from the viral phrase.
The good news is if Jewels approves their case, then
they can get the trademark. Because it's not first come,
first serve. She would just have to prove that it
was her idea first. I'm pretty sure she could do that. Yeah,
they can do that. The problem is it might take
a while. I don't go to take and so I

(09:32):
don't know if the opportunity is missed because I don't
know if in a week we're still talking about this,
But then again, we're still talking about hokatuas so like
the trademarks don't happen like overnight, you know, it doesn't
imagine it would take a while. I also heard that
Haktua over the weekend celebrated her first million. She made
her first million dollars hawk to a girl. I know
that's verified appear, but I did see a video merch

(09:52):
and appearances. Wow, one million dollars for saying Haktua on
that thing? God verify if the hot too on that
thing is like she is she really doing that? Does
she put her money where her mouth where her money
is out of I don't know. I think Pooky might

(10:12):
be out of the picture because now she's famous.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
Then a summerhouse person that That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
Now now she has access to famous people. So I
don't know, Pooky maybe maybe out of here. And the
TV News helicopter crew spotted a boy who had been
reported missing but was actually on the roof of his
New York City building just playing hooky and playing video
games on his ipen. So the nine year old boy
left his Brooklyn apartment about seven am and didn't show
up to school. So the boys parents got scared, of course,

(10:39):
and called police, who put out a description of the
missing child, including the orange tie that he was wearing.
The CBS station then sent a helicopter to the scene
to fly around the building so they could find him.
And that's where they spotted the guy on the rooftop
of his family's building, just hanging out in a chair
playing on his iPad. Had no intention of going to school.
Station employees called the police the helicopter crew overhead until

(11:01):
they arrived. He didn't seem phased by that either, which
was funny. He just kept sitting there playing his game. Well,
a helicopter hovered over the top of him, the reporter said.
The kid packed up his computer and his book Baguline
goes off with police. Everyone's okay, But he didn't go far,
just up to the room. That was like when I
used to quote unquote and run away from home. I
went to the same park across the street from our
house every time, exact same I knew exactly where to

(11:22):
be found. I would just sit there on a bench
every time with him. My mom would pull up. You
want to get in, okay? That was as far as
I would go. No, that was the other thing. I
didn't bring anything because I knew she'd come get me,
so it was like, this won't last long, no food,
no sustendence. Once she should have left my ass out
there for a while. I would have been hungry and
then crawled my ass home. That's what would have happened.

(11:43):
It's National Get Checked Day for breast cancer screenings. National
Web Mistress Day, recognizing women in web development, National Women's
Equality Day. Congress packed the pass the nineteenth Amendment to
the Constitution, granting women full and equal voting rights on
this day in nineteen twenty. It's National Dog Day today
as well. That's a good day. We love dog Day.

(12:05):
Shelley with the Entertainmer reported for Kaelin in two minutes
after Ben's had boone on The Fred Show.
