Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fred's show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Let's call it like it is. You know what I'm saying.
Let's just say what it is.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes, what it is.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
That's what the team of researchers say, Fred, just say
what it is. All the other thing I was supposed
to do is get right to it, not this little
commentary here either. Yeah, we had radio class on Friday.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
That was fun.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
There, it was I loved it. That is Pope Francis
back in critical condition.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I'm so.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
They were saying he was getting better. You know, well
he was in critical condition. He was reading newspaper, drinking coffee.
That didn't sound too bad. Now critical condition. He is responsive.
He did go to mass somehow. I'm not sure how
he did that. The eighty eight year old is battling
pneumonium and a complex long infection. The Vatican said that
he hadn't had any more respiratory crises since Saturday, but
(00:48):
was still receiving high flows of supplemental oxygen. They're also
saying that he is showing initial mild kidney failure as well,
but doctor said that it was under control. So they
were saying last week he might resign name another pope.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
I know Jason's in the running. Yeah, uh huh.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
It's like between me and like two other dudes.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, I don't know. The other guys are actual like
cardinals or something. Yeah, they're just gonna just take you
right to the top, right, yeah, acceleration, right right, right, exactly.
We're just gonna skip a lot of the middle stages.
It's not necessary.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I've been talking about.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, this is where you start. Really what they need, honestly,
this is what the Catholic church.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
As a Catholic, I can say, what we need is
a rebrand, and you would be the guy to do it.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Imagine the pink smoke that would come out when I
get yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Imagine right, I'm falling from the air.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I can only imagine when I say to you. When
I say to you, Stephen A. Smith, what comes to
mind for you? We got big Stephen A. Smith breaking
news this morning? But what yelling?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Ye yes, yep?
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Sports a bad hairline?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Hot takes?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Can he do someone on Instagram live? Or is that
a different guy?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He is a top contender for the Democrat nomination for
president in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
All right, he is on the list. Stephen A. Smith.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, this is where we're at.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Can you imagine the proliferation of the emericipation He just
says a bunch of POLYSYLLABC words, which I just did that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he is on the list of people that are
in the running to be the Democratic nominee in a
couple of years. Biden, Treasury secretary, Pete Budajez. Was he
(02:32):
Treasury secretary or was he? I think it was Transportation
secretary anyway, Alexandria Hokazio Cortes, Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan,
Gavin Newsom, the California governor, Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor,
the Maryland governor, Wes Moore. They're the only ones who
have better odds than Stephen A. Smith to be the
(02:52):
next president.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I don't want my president to have a podcast. I
just don't, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, he's a smart guy. He's a smart but a
little abrasive, you know. I'm not sure if we are
gonna go to wall no, you know, can you imagine
due walking out you know, oval office or whatever, into
the podium, you know, and it's I mean, I just
can't imagine that he would have to chill the delivery
a little bit.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Everybody can do everything.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Well, I don't know. That's my mom told me differently
growing up. You know, you can do anything, and Steven A.
Smith can be the president if he wants. To Disney
theme parks, the ticket prices in the US will jump
as demand rises under what's being called a controversial new
dynamic pricing plan. So the airlines do this, Uber does this.
You know, it's more expensive if there aren't as many cars,
(03:40):
there aren't as many seats lets on the plane. The move,
which experts say will be rolled out in the next
few months, mirrors airline pricing, which means the Ferris in
crete increase as more tickets self. So currently entry to
Walt Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland near la Is
price based on preset peak and off peak dates. But
under this expected plan and already rolled out at Disneyland Paris,
(04:02):
ticket prices at US park's will fluctuate in real time
based on demand. The news scheme would cause huge variations
in price, and it could be introduced by the end
of March, so it would be cheaper to go. I mean,
but you wouldn't necessarily know, I get. I mean, you
could probably follow a trend. I don't know if people
that live in Florida could tell me better. But I
don't know if the summertime is that that seems like
(04:23):
it would be a slower time because it's so hot,
but I think it's probably not because school's out. I
would probably rather go in the winter. Maybe people can't
go in the winter, you know, because it would be
a little bit less warm.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I'm not sure. So I don't know what would be
more expensive.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
The prices are ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
It is so expensive to go to Disney. Yeah, it's wild.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
It shouldn't cost that much to have fun, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Well, I just don't know how people can afford it,
to be honest with I mean, two hundreds and hundreds
of dollars per person, you know, for a family of
four or whatever, and then all the food and then
you know, the hotel and transportation.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
The two of you, Yeah, just the two of us,
and we stayed not on like the property, but we're
still in Was it called Willow Springs, Disney Springs something springs,
Disney Springs, Yes, which is like you take a shuttle
to the parks and it's still like close, but not
clearly on the property. I think, oh man, in total
with the food and you know, the drinks and everything,
the two adults, it was like three thousand dollars almost
for a weekend.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Yes, with the flights and everything. That's crazy. That's insane.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
That is crazy, and that might get more expensive. Uh,
Hooters is heading for bankruptcy. Guys, they're collaborating with creditors.
I'm sorry just to spring.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That on you. Yeah, they're collaborating creditors.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I just told you Steven A. Smith might be the president.
Zero reaction to that, and then I say I don't
want that. Nothing okay on that one. And then and
then when I say Hooters is filing bankruptcy, it's oh, yes.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
That clocks that shuttle Sarah. Why do you red?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Things happen to good people at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Train chain is said to have teamed up with a
law firm and another company to suss out its debt
load and prep the filing, but sources to state the
plans are not final. The chain has struggled for years
of plummeting sales and issues paying its bills. From twenty
eighteen to twenty twenty three, Hooter sales across the country
(06:19):
fell almost fifteen percent. So I mean it's not like imminent.
They're not going to imminently close down. I mean Red
Lobster was bankrupt too, and they were open the whole time.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
My mom called me personally to tell me this news
first of all, which thought was very interesting. She's like,
I thought you'd be upset because I'm always at Hooters.
But my question is why do people stop going to Hooters?
I never stopped, so I want to know why.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
People.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
Da're doing your part, and I want to thank you,
thank you so much. I'm a patriot, but why why
are we stopping? Like?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
You know what I mean, who's not going anymore? What's
the reason? Right? You know what I think about them?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
What do you say?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
It's a scam.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
It's a it's in.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
A publicity stunt that all these restaurant chains are now
doing so that we can get riled up Black Paulina
and save them and go and eat there. We just
saw we what Red Li who else? Just bounce back?
Speaker 1 (07:02):
It was what was it a few years ago? It
was like twinkies, Remember Twinkies? We can't make him anymore,
and then everyone just was a mad dash for twinkies.
And then at the very last minute, someone's like, ah,
another company, we'll buy twinkies and we'll start making I
don't know if they did it or not, but it
was like everybody was running around Choco taco Remember that
that one, the Choco taco.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I think they're gone. I never gone gone. You never
had a choco cho.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You guys made me try it one time.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
We had our old interno get it for me on
like sixty third and like collect it.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Was a mad dash.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
The dude had to drive all over town to find
the remaining supply of Choco tacos and did.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Here's some good news, though no one needs to be
triggered by this.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
The US Postal Services honoring the late actress Betty White
with her own forever stamp. The stample feature a photo
of her wearing a purple polka dotted blouse with Forever
USA printed below her name. It'll be unveiled on March
twenty seventh at the La Zoo and Botanical Gardens, where
she was a trustee and volunteer. She passed away three
weeks before her one hundredth birthday in December of twenty
(08:00):
twenty one. So get you a stamp. I find out
you can door dash stamps because I don't know where
to get them. I didn't know where to get them
on so I had to mail some stuff and I
was like, what I do, Guys, how do I get stamps?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And nobody knew.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah, we were in a frenzy, like nobody.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Knew how to get them.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
I go to the postonice all the time and get stamps.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Okay, well, I.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Mean if you can find a post of I mean
the post opficely would be a great place to go
to find a stamp if there's one nearby that you're
aware of.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Sho you never have them on you?
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Well, I don't why want to stamps around everything else?
Speaker 5 (08:29):
