Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh Show. This is what's trending. How the
radio friend text me yesterday. I guess he was watching
somebody instagram videos Fred Show Radio Fred on air. He's like,
what's been going on? You guys weren't on the air
a couple of times. I'm like, we're yeah, earlier in
the week we went on the air a couple of times. Hey,
we didn't even know. It's fine And he was like, dude,
and your problem is it makes you look like you
guys don't know what the hell you're doing. And I'm like,

(00:20):
oh no, don't worry. No one ever thought we didn't
know what the hell was likely. It turns out that
no one is surprised by the lack of professionalism because
there is none and there never was any. That's a
nice thing about having super low standard, right, is that
nobody's really surprised if you listen to the show when
like four things play at once, Like, why would that
surprise you? It's just our Rubik's Cube, you know what

(00:42):
I mean. Like some people like to play board games
and card games and stuff around here. They just throw
challenges at us and see, you know, do you want
to take the physical challenge, Mark, or do you want
to take the what was it? Were your options you
on a doubledare? Was it was dare? Double Dare?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
And oh the physical challenge? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah yeah, but you had the option
of the physical challenge. You got to take the oriente
of the questions. You got to take the physical challenge.
I mean, who doesn't Who doesn't take the physical challenge?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Who doesn't want to get a flag up a giant
nose with oohs coming out of it?

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Exactly? Have you seen Double Day of the show? Are
you familiar with the reference?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, but it's been, you know, since the early nineties.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Then.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
I used to watch Family Double there and be like,
that'd be cool if I had a family together.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I could never get at the time I was watching
Family Double there, the idea of my whole family being
together doing double Dare.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah, it was a physical challenge, all right, no.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Way, yeah, exactly, my parents would have taken it. My
mom would have taken a physical challenge.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
She would have shoved that thing up my father's actual nose.
Now that is a show.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I would watch broken families competing together.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Oh my god, amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, I'm here for the would be well, and then
my mom, you know, she marries another man and he
adopts us whatever. But then and he's a he's a
great guy, but he's very pragmatic. He's an engineer, so
so him doing challenges with us wouldn't have worked.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Either.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
You've got like the dysfunction, and then you've got the
guy who's like, no, hold on, stop, that's not gonna work,
you know, And then my mom's going, wow, she's like shovings,
you know what I mean. And if you've never watch
Doubled There, that you don't know what I'm talking about.
But go go on on the old YouTube, on the
old yet and uh and search for double there and
you'll see what we're talking about. But it was the
whole thing was like gross ooz. They'd hide flags and

(02:24):
stuff and you'd have to dig through nasty stuff.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
And stuff like that. Yeah, or the car wash looking
thing they had to go through.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, yeah, double There. That was a that was a
big part of my childhood. I love that show.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Matthew Perry. You got that story coming up in the
Entertainment Report in just a couple of minutes. But it is, uh,
it is the headline. Ray Gunten, who is the viral
Australian break dancer. She said that she's been receiving hate
on the internet since her rightfle Lisa my performance, I
guess you could call it in the Olympics, she said,
so much hate, which has frankly been devit stating. The

(03:00):
thirty six year old college professor's unique moves, including a
freeze in his stance resembling a kangaroos, became the focus
of memes and jokes on social media, some even suggesting
that the b girl who lost her three round robin
battles without winning a single point shouldn't have been at
the Olympics, but manipulated.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
This selection process.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
I'm not sure how she did that, but I wonder
if it was one of those things where she looked
at them Summer Olympics and looked at the Australian team
and was like, is there any is there any way
I can get to the Olympics, And like, no one's
really paying attention to this category because I know some
countries they only have one person that winds up going
out for whatever the thing is.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
In fact, aren't there stories about people who have like
changed their citizenship just to get into the Olympics. Yes,
because they can be more competitive in other countries, like
if they're from Oh it makes you know, maybe whatever.
So maybe I don't know this lady maybe looked at
the thing. It was like table tennis. No, that's not
happening basketball definitely not that thing with the stick. And
then that, No, can't can't compete with the guy with
the big wang.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Okay, I got it.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
I'm gonna do the breakdancing. I can get drunken break dance.
I could totally do it.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
That's what she did. She literally got it canceled. They're
not doing it in four years. She ruined it. Yeah,
I think they decided that before. No, she sucked.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think they decided when she went viral for this
humiliating performance.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Even don't we do the story about the things that
were coming and going and all that.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I don't know that she single handedly got breakdancing band.
But the performance was so bad she could have, Yes,
she could. I think I would just be pissed, you know.
For me. For me, it's like the people who are
taking ozambic, who don't need it at all, who are
fully capable of like going and running on a treadmill.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
That's what it is. For me.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
It's like if I'm another Olympian in that category, I'm like,
why did I Why am I so damn good at this?
And you just got to walk in, you know what
I mean. I'm just I don't know why. This is
a total meat problem. But I'm always people going, you
look so like not to me, to everybody else, you
look so skinny.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Oh my god, you're so skinny. What are you doing?
What do you think they're doing?

Speaker 1 (04:57):
They're taking ozambic And then I got a me with
Gideon twice a week and slave it out, and I
still it's like a like a like Gummay with a
dad bod.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm just bitter.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
It's fine if you need it for health reasons, to
go ahead, but damn it compliment me too.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Me too, I'm.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Gonna well, I mean, hey, come on, but you know
the people I'm talking about the people who are fully
capable of doing this on their own, but for vain reasons,
they just aren't doing it on their own.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, if your BMI is not over certain point, please
stay away. That's just my personal opinion. So shortage. Yeah,
here you literally and hey, I hope it works.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
And when you look, I'm just I'm I am admitting
that I am personally bitter. This is it has nothing
to do with your choices or whatever you I'm just
saying when I'm on the treadmill looking like an idiot
and the whole treadmill is rocking, and like, I'm just
wonky ass sweating everywhere.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
But your insides are better. That's the point. You're hard.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I want everyone's insides to be better, but we we
just got to focus on yours. And why am I
doing this? I'm like, why am I live longer? Why
am I all sweating? And this is terrible? Like, I
hate it unless you get the results. You know, she
didn't even get the results, like she did all that
to get in the Olympics, to literally embarrass I'll break down.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm offended.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
That's my point is you got people there who like,
are really good at it, taking it seriously, and then
you've got this and everyone's talking about this instead.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Exactly That's my exact point. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
But there had to be some kind of She's from Australia,
there had to be some kind of qualification.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well maybe maybe there just weren't that many people, That's
what I'm saying. Maybe it was one of those things
where like a lot of people didn't compete for and
so I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Wasn't there one of the Winter Games, like she was
a skier or something like that, and she just she
qualified from some country and then she just went straight
down the hill.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I mean, maybe the full solow swallow slalom.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I don't know. She was probably an ozampic too. He
wanted what else you should be offended about? You should
be offended about about this ray Gun lady. You should
be offended by hawk Tua because the New York Mets
are getting blowback now because they invited Haley Welch aka
a hawk to a girl to throw out the first

(07:04):
pitch at the game, and everyone's very upset about this.
She threw out the ceremonial first pitch a city field.
It was her latest public appearance. It's a video floodage
social medium showing her a graphic. You could go look
it up and you can figure this out for yourself.
It's a little bit early, but the people in the
comments where it's furious about this. So the Mets and
by the way, there's one maybe specific reason why, but

(07:25):
the Mets decided to get the hawk to a girl
to throw out the first pitch for a summer camp
day where the vast majority of the fans eleven year
old kids at the ballpark on camp trips.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oh, so that's what people are most angry about.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
And then someone else is like, there are one hundred
and twenty Olympic med lists and you choose.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
You chose her, right. I go home and be like, mommy,
I want to be just like the hawk too, of
the girl, right, had a girl today? It's the game?
What's what is that?

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Right? And then it's like you have to explain that,
But that may have you might want to look and like,
look at the whatever the theme of the day is,
you know, if it's like I don't know, if it's
like fifty cent hot dog day, maybe we don't have
like the Vegetarian Club come throughout the first pitch.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I mean that kind of thing. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I mean you think somebody would look at that and
be like, m maybe not today, but anyway. Civilization has
hit a new low with one of the comments on
the video of Hawk Tua throwing out a first pitch.
The updating Scrabble Dictionary has made modern gen z lingo
permissible to use in the board game. In case you
were wondering about this, they've added two thousand new words

(08:29):
to the game's lexicon, like where did two thousand words come?
Like two thousand words just emerge like I guess in
the last year. But in case you were wondering, yeat,
you can now use yeat. Oh, by the way, this
is not until January first. By the way, you're not
able to use any of this until January first. Among
the new words which can be used in club and

(08:49):
tournament play beginning January first. So hey, this holiday season
when you're with your family, don't pull this one out
because it's not legal, you know, fluf grammable as in
something fitting for Instagram, bougie bougier and bougieist, bougie bougier bougieist. Yes,

(09:10):
those are all allowed. Am I right as one word
A M I R I T E. We're able to
use that now, but now until January first, you guys. Oh,
And there's a chairperson for the World English Language Scrabble
Players Association that's called WESPA that said in the statement.
New words mean exciting, new challenges and new opportunities at

(09:31):
every turn. So anyway, can you imagine, like, what do
you do? Well, I'm a sharewoman of WESPA. Well, what's that? Well,
and that's the World English Language Scrabble Players Association Association.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
That's what I do, senior vice president. Right.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh, hopefully, hopefully you can rise to that esteem of
senior vice president because around here you got to work
for centuries to get to that.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
You got to be knighted.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Nope, Nope, that was a joke. A nine year old
Pennsylvania boy ended up in the hospital after he and
his mother attempted an ongoing viral TikTok trend involving melted
liquid candy. So this kid was attempting to make jolly
rancher Well, how do you say jolly rancher grapes? Basically,

(10:22):
there's another word for it, but these grapes are made
by melting down hard jolly rancher candies in a bowl
in the microwave. You then dip grapes into liquid, causing
a and using a toothpick, and then you give the
grapes a hard candy coating by doing this. However, the
melting point for jolly ranchers is three hundred and fifty degrees,
which is one hundred degrees over boiling water. And so

(10:43):
what happened is, I guess this kid melts the sugar
down in the microwave and then burns himself. Went to
the hospital secondary degree burns on his right hand. He
had several follow up visits since then, and doctors think
that his right thigh could have a third degree burn
that wasn't caught initially as well. Let's not's not, We're
not okay. We don't need molten candy, molten hot sugar

(11:05):
burning you. But I would like to try one made
by a professional. I would like to try jolly rancher grape.
I would, I would. You know you're not interested, but
there's a safe way to make it, Like, I don't
want an eleven year old to make it for me.
I want someone like a hazmat suit to make it
for me with gloves and such in a professional kitchen.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Can we get that you don't need that? Also? Hot
take I hate candy corn, cotton candy grapes, hate them
frozen grapes.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yes, all for it. It's gotta be green. It's gotta
be green. The cotton candy ones, I don't know why
they're so sweet. Something's wrong with them. We're gonna find
out that you're gonna grow a tail from eating cotton
candy grapes or so.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
There's something that right. I don't know why they taste
like that. But no, have you.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Tried the taffy grapes, like the little peanuts on them
and the yeah, give me some, give me some green grapes,
Wash them off, put them in a freezer for like
twenty four hours.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
That's all I need. That's it.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
No cotton candy, don't come around here with the purple ones.
The red ones don't like Nope, not frozen ones.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
No.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
And A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Record
for her three point one inch wide tongue. Hello, Brittany Lecayo.
She decided to apply for the title at you're learning
about the former record holder named Emily, whose tongue measured
two point eight nine inches wide. Her tongue is actually
wider than it is long when measured from the flap

(12:31):
of cartilage located behind the tongue. Oh, so that's where
we're supposed to start measuring from huh God, you know
do you measure from anyway? Uh? The flap of cartilage. Well,
there's a word for it. It's the I was gonna
say it's the eppa glot tie. See I love an
idiot epa glottitis.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yo. Yeah, yeah, he's a giant. Well she's on TikTok.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, this girl, I think, well, she's making money in
a lot of ways. I'm sure it's snatched, no rum
day to day anyway, But just take that in consideration.
Three point one one inches wide, huh. I guess the
mail though, and I think people are probably more interested
in this. But the male American Brian Thompson, his tongue

(13:15):
measure is three point four to nine inches wide, So
I think that might come in. Take you looking at
Brian Thompson right now.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
See what he's doing.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
He's the next big tim It's National run Day, National
roller coaster today, National telejoke Day, National Airborne Day, honoring
