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

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Well, somebody was confused. But just for the record, in
case I need to specify, that was not Bella, our
intern saying that she's divorcing the Hebrew Hammer. Oh Oliver
Taylor Swift. Oh no, I don't know why we thought that.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
But she might though, like she's a big swiftye.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
And if you don't know the Hebrew Hammer reference that,
you need to listen to The Tangent, our off air
uncensored podcast from yesterday, which I will tell you is
off air and uncensored, but that tells the heck of
a story and you can hear it the iHeartRadio app
search for the Fred Show. The Tangent is our off
air podcast, and if you would make us a preset
on the iHeart app, you can preset the podcast The

(00:37):
Tangent and whatever station you have us on. So, federal
prosecutors say that a crime gang that targeted to homes
of pro athletes has been busted. A federal complaint doesn't
name the victims, but the dates and locations match several
high profile crimes, including the October break ins of the
homes of Kansas City Chiefs players, Travis Kelsey and Patrick

(00:58):
Mahomes seven defense it's all Chilean men between the ages
of twenty and thirty eight have been charged with conspiracy
to commit interstate transportation of stolen property. Three of the
guys also face state and federal charges in Ohio connected
to a December break in at the home of Cincinnati
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
So that's a big deal because if.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
You think about it now, they're talking about they were
like really planning. They're okay, what quarterbacks, Who's going to
have the most stuff, who's the most They probably had
to scout all these locations, like different states. You know,
who's on the road win, who's going to be at
home wins? They really thought about this.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
If they planned so hard, then why were they as
dumb as to wear his hat, Joe Burrow's hat and
all the jewelry and take videos like you did all
that work and you got yourself caught up because they
got pulled over for a traffic stop and they're wearing
Joe Burrow's hacking number one.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Maybe you can steal like rolexs or I don't know,
stuff that's like semi generic. But the problem is if
you're stealing super Bowl rings or like championship rings or
trophies or jerseys or hats, I mean that stuff belongs
to somebody. It's traceable, right, you know if I steal
like all those real I don't. I guess Patrick Mahomes
has super Bowl rings. I don't know if they still.
I don't think they stole one of those, but if
they did, it's like, well, has his name on it?

(02:08):
So if it's his ring. And then you walk into
the pawn shop and you're like, I don't know which
I do. You're on pond Stars or whatever, you know,
and what's the guy's name on there? Chum Lee is like,
that's cool, I'll take it. You know, it's a hold
on one second while I call the cops because this
was reported stolen.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Dor rolexes have like serial numbers twoo and insurance. I mean,
so what you're gonna melt it down and it loses
its value or it's traceable.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
What's the other thing like if you get something like
signature like a super Bowl ring or championship ring from
college or whatever. You're right, so you're gonna melt it down,
it loses you know a lot of its value that way,
because it's worth way more as the ring. Delta air
Lines is offering passengers who were on the Toronto bound
flight that crash landed and flipped upside down thirty grand apiece.
Now that's very nice because you know most airlines they

(02:52):
won't offer you anything for anything. I mean, talk about
the last time you got delayed and they give you
like a ten dollars meal ticket.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
You're like, well, sit a bunch twenty five dollars. I'm
I going to do with this.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
These people are like, hey, hey, sorry, Delta's like, sorry,
plane flipped over. We didn't mean for that. Here's thirty
thousand dollars just right up front. Now. The first thing
I thought, because this is just the way our brains work,
I feel like as Americans or just as humans, is well,
I'm not taking thirty grand because I'm suing for a
whole lot more. Well, apparently you can take the thirty
grand and also sue them. Yeah, oh, they're saying, here's

(03:23):
thirty grand. It's not clear how many passengers or how
I guess all of them can claim their money, But
if all seventy six people take Delta up on the offer,
then that would be two point three million dollars they
would have to pay the Delta Care team representatives of
telling customers that the offer has no strings attached and
does not affect your right.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
So here you go.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
There's got to be a catch though, Like there's got
to be somebody at Delta. They don't just hand out
money for nothing, Like they've got to have thought of this.
If you take the money, something happens. Because if I
can just take thirty grand, is that supposed to make
me feel better? Like, well, I almost died. I should
have died. My plane flip over, the wing fell off
and lit on fire. But you know what, I'll take

(04:04):
thirty you know, I think that's enough. No, I'm sorry,
I'm joining the class action lawsuit.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I am.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, No you're not.

Speaker 5 (04:11):
Jason.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
You're not taking the money, Jason Brown on purpose?

Speaker 5 (04:16):
No Brown, Come on, I would take the thirty thousand,
be like thank you, Okay, I'm gonna go.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I didn't die, Let me go on with my life.
Jason Brown.

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Yeah, it's not what's fault?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Are Yeah?

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Jason's right? Actually in this case he is, because are you.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I don't know if it was anybody's faul yet we
don't know, Kiki. But I'm sorry I almost died at
your hands.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
But I'm happy to be alive, you know, like I'm
so happy to be alive.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
I'll be way happier with it. Several million dollars, that's true, racket.
If the pilot was drunk, then you know, then that's
a different.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Nobody du noo else. But like you, we don't know
right now. Did anything wrong? I don't know that right.

Speaker 7 (05:03):
They said he didn't put it in like reverse or
something when he was supposed to.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
We make it our jobs, and you know, no one's
suing us.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Well, right, I mean, while I feel some days like
a fireball of an airplane flipping over it, in fact,
no one's life.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Is written waiting about the phone. Is that the same
Jason as the plane slipping over?

Speaker 5 (05:25):
I don't know why we have to be so specific
for emotional distrusts.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Well, people would like to think he'll get nothing.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
People have suggested they will, but I hey, I just
I think I'm taking the money. I think I'm taking
the money I'm taking to pay more money though more
like bigger.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
I mean, thirty thousand dollars is pretty life changing.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Somebodyho what about the pilot and the crew. I do
wonder if they mean they got to be hooking a
crew up, at least a flight attendant.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
But I don't know what the pilots we got to see.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I'm not gonna, I don't want to like throw any
pilots under the bus, but it looked like they kind
of forgot to land. Really, it kind of does. It
kind of looks like they were maybe on TikTok or
something at the time, like you know.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
They put it in a self park and just let
it go.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
It does kind of look like they got focused, you know.
I don't know, maybe catering came or have a nice
cold beverage or something. I don't know what happened, but
it sort of looks like they forgot to do the
part where you pull back on the stick at the end.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
That's just yeah, you know, I'm not an official crime
scene investigator, which surprises a lot of people. I do
have an NTSB flack jacket that I wear around sometimes,
but and I have a FEMA pass.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
We all have one of those, Yeah, we do.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
We have a little FEMA badge that apparently allows us
to rule the city from COVID.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I never had to pull it out, but I've done it. Yeah,
where did badge?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Okay, so they really did give us a little They
give us little badges at the beginning of COVID because
apparently we're going to be on like nationwide lockdown and
the only way we can get to the radio station
to do our essential radio show was wave this little
badge around. Literally, it's our faces his FEMA fish waiting

(07:04):
by the phone.

Speaker 3 (07:05):
Us and it was our selfies from like Instagram that
our boss chose to put on there. But one time
Pauline and I went to fifty cent and I could
not get back to my home in the city and
I needed to get home. It was freezing, and I
tried it and it did not work. Okay, Yeah, so
then I walked two miles.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I'm taking the thirty K and I'm getting it on
the lawsuit too, because I could have died and and
that's them, And I'm sorry if that's litigious, But do
they have like.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Insurance because it's such a high risk of course job.
So I mean, you're not taking it right from somebody's pocket.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
I guess somebody said to make sure they run it
takes to make sure that it's not thirty k in
vouchers because companies they like to do that.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, they love to do that.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Last things in Delta, sky Club access or whatever.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Thirty thousand miles, Like I don't want it, bro.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
That would be something that's like the restaurant you go to.
I use this example all the time where the food's
bad and you're like, it must be for me to
send food bag.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
It's got to be iranimal.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
And then their solution is, well, here's a gift card
so you can come back next time.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
It's free.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
No no, no, you almost gave me salmonella, Like, so
I'm not going to be coming back, so then I
just want money, right, Yeah, do you feel like, okay,
here's a question. If you were on Delta and the
thing flips over and you walk away from it like miraculous,
It is miraculous, Like it is very like that should
have been that it could have been so much worse. Okay,

(08:28):
so you walk away? Now do you just go fly
now all the time because you just survived a plane crash.
So the odds, I mean, the odds are extremely slim
that you would ever be involved in something like that again,
or are you of the mindset that I almost died.
I'm never flying again. I'm gonna be like John Madden
who drives around on it or you used to drive
around on a bus everywhere because he was afraid of flying.
Which way do you look at it me? I'm like,
I just walked away from a plane crash, I'm buying

(08:49):
a lottery ticket, and I'm flying everywhere I want. I'm
flying everywhere. That's probably what I would tell Delta. I'd
be like, look, you are trying to kill me. Probably
won't happen twice. I want to fly first class on
Delta anywhere where I want to go for the rest
of my life for free. That's what I would go
to them with, first class anywhere in the world for
the rest of my life.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Even though you tried to kill me. I'll let you
try it again.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I mean, you always make a good point when people
are like what, I would never get in your plane.
I don't want to die, and you always say to them, well,
I don't either, so I do everything in my power
to not so. I would assume that no one flying
a plane or working on a plane wants to die either,
So I'm getting back on a plane.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I don't think these guys did it on purpose. Maybe
they just I don't know.

Speaker 5 (09:26):
It's an accident.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
No, you're done, done.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Fly you get to crash, you're done, fly.

Speaker 7 (09:34):
Done, bro, I might walk everywhere after a plane crash,
like I'm not messing around with motor vehicles.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Really, Yeah, that's insane. You're selling your car, I'm selling.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (09:45):
I think I would just want to stay put. It's okay,
you know, it's okay here. I don't really need to
go anywhere.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
No, I think I think I would just think I
was invincible at that point.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
I do, guys. Another day and.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Another update on the asteroid is going to hit Earth
in twenty thirty two and kill us.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Good news.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Though it was three point one percent chance of it
hitting the Earth yesterday, we're down to one point five.
We're constantly monitoring this situation. Nice, we need I need
some kind of sounder or something on the show for that.
You know, I don't know what it is. Maybe a song,
maybe a song. Did you need a song, Colleen, It's
been a while since you've released a hit record.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
You know what, I got the perfect one?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
I got a song.

Speaker 4 (10:23):
I got it just for the asteroids.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Maybe it's about asteroids hitting Earth. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
But Paulina, as you may know, is A is A
is a major recording artist. Yeah, she has many aluminum albums,
aluminum and many songs. If you're new to the show,
you probably haven't gotten to hear many of them. What
else You've spanned so many subject matters over the years.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Oh yeah, we sing about love.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
We sing about what else?

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Like being underwater?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Right? Two songs are the same name, same names. Catch flights,
catch flights not feelings? Yeah? Did you do that one?

Speaker 4 (10:53):
I hope so.

Speaker 3 (10:55):
Too.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
Oh we collabed, Yeah, I collabed with the Kiki.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh that was is your collaborations.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
While we're talking about airplanes, the Kiki won't get on anymore.
If you get in a crash, then you just live.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (11:11):
City girls up one hundred. Yeah, because city girls up
at my studio. Because City Girls up one hundred. Hey,
I may be all wiped up, that's all good, But
don't forget who your leader was to know about running
through the streets, getting it and still making it to
work though, that's right, with some respect on my name.

(11:34):
That's why I gotta throw Kiki on the track too.
Who do you think you're a plane? When I taught
you girls all the game? I know, And because I
retired on me nothing, we're still catching flights, not feelings.

Speaker 4 (11:45):
I'm talking about a friend full of flights.

Speaker 7 (11:47):
I sleep at the airport, so you know I'm packing
lights night you saw back outside, tell us all rock
take the boot off my ride, so you know. We
keeps alive only when they get married. But Kiki and
Kless we outside. Hey, it's just to pick us up
in to rot. If you ain't married, you taken this single?
Maybe the fresh show worldwide?

Speaker 4 (12:07):
Hey what a time? That was the time?

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Ex Flight not feelings unless you crash and take thirty
thousand dollars and walk away, never fly again. Turkey is
sending eggs to the US to east prices. With egg
prices skyrocketing, Turkey is coming through Fifteen thousand tons of
eggs are coming to the US as the bird flu
has set egg prices skyrocketing. Deliveries will start this month
and continue through July, according to Turkis officials. The US

(12:34):
egg producers hope the imports will help ease pressure on prices.
And have you ever thought about speaking and flying, which
I guess Kiki won't do. Have you ever thought about
just quitting your job? Just leaving and I'm traveling the world.
I'm going to travel the world. I forget about it now.
Jason's you's your worst nightmare. That's that's a dream come true.
You were to tell me, hey man, sorry, here's a

(12:55):
big pile of money, but we're done with you. That's
exactly what I would do. You have disappear. You've probably
never seen me for a year. I'd be all over
the world. You of course, you cry before you leave
your home, right, I wouldn't leave home.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
I would like I would maybe move, like out into
the country and buy a store in sell blankets.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's like my dream. Well, but that that would be
further away from home though, yeah, but.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
My home will be with me, right, so like I
will have a new home, okay, in the country.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Jason's a grown man, but he gets extremely homesick, and
he leaves his house. And that includes when he comes
like and he lives in the downtown area. When he's
working downtown, Like, maybe he'll get a hotel for a
night or two because it's easier, because whatever's going on
is down here, and his house is about twenty minutes away,
and yet he can see his house from the hotel room.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
But yet he's very sad about it. It's sad.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
I want to be in my bed.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Well, if you ever wondered how much money it would
take for someone to quit their job and travel the world,
then we have the answer. According to new research, two
hundred and eighty seven thousand, seven hundred and thirty one dollars,
that's the average amount of money that Americans say they
would need in the bank before they would feel comfortable
leaving their current life behind to explore the globe.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
That's a very specific number. Very yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Nation White survey on Behalf of Travel is It Binger
dot Com as two thousand Americans what it would take
to make their travel dreams of reality, and the results
show that different generations have different ideas about the cost
of freedom gen Z two hundred and eleven. Grand baby
boomers want more, though, three hundred and thirty five thousand
dollars before they would consider trading in their current lifestyle

(14:26):
for a world of adventure. A third of Americans today
would need more than five hundred thousand dollars before doing
something like that.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
But money isn't everything.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
The survey found that seventeen percent of Americans wouldn't leave
their current life behind for any amount of money. And
for these folks, the comforts of home and their established
routines matter more than the allure of far off destinations.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I don't know how much it would take, but I would.
I would totally do it.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
Two hundred and eighty seven thousand is not enough.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
No, to quit your entire existence and disappear. I think
you'd spend a lot of that.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yes, especially trying to travel.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, we could go somewhere where the cost of living's
lie cheaper, I guess.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
But if you try to see the whole world, you're
gonna hit expensive places. You're gonna hit cheap paces.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
Resort.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Can't you get to the first stop? She'd get to
kang Kud and be like, let's just blow it all
here up. You know, they got booze, they got food. Yeah,
we're good. We don't need to see the rest of
the world.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
It's fine.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
It's National Leadership Day, National Love your Pet Day, which
should be every day. I agree, a National Comfy Day,
a day to allow yourself to get comfy and relax.
