Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fred's Show is on Friend's Biggest Stories.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Of the Day. I did this.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
I had a flight attendant leave me a note, and
I left a different flight attendant note one time. Actually
mine was a paper I made a little paper airplane. Oh,
and I tossed it at her on the way out,
and she texted me to tell me she had a boyfriend.
But I did think it was kind of I mean,
it was nice of her, I guess like that to
reach out and say, hey, I really appreciated that, but
I have a boyfriend. But I also thought it was like,
(00:29):
I guess that's better than not hearing anything. But if
i'd heard nothing, I would have assumed she had a boyfriend.
So but I almost felt like she was sort of saying,
like I would be interested if I didn't, because otherwise
why would you take the time.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Maybe she just wanted you to know that. It was
a nice gesture and creative, you know.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I also was on a flight once and the flight
attendant was passing out notes to like the frequent flyers.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I guess they're supposed to do that.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
They don't do it very often, but like if you were,
I don't know, like a status you fly a lot
and you're like a platinum, diamond, aluminum you know, tootsy pop. Yeah,
you know, ring pop level status person. And so the
person next to me, she added one to him too,
but mine had a heart on it and her last
name and his didn't.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So I was at a crossroads on that because I'm like, now,
wait a minute, because I did. I looked at his
and his was shorter and it didn't have a heart
and there was no last name. Mine had her full
name and a heart. So I looked her up on Instagram.
I followed her and I thought, now, this is gonna
go one of two ways. I'm the biggest creep on
earth and she's gonna think I'm a creep. But I
don't know her, so who cares or too? She'll follow
(01:36):
me back, and I'm in followed me back. I was
in whoa. Yeah, never saw her again. Oh she lives
in Miami, But never saw again.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Do you guys still follow each other? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I love having people like that on social that I
just don't talk to.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
You met one time, but that was that was.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
A borderline creepy move on my part. But I mean,
if you just if you type her name and Instagram.
It popped right up, So it wasn't like I had
to hire someone to find her addressers. I mean, but
that was like, wait a minute, it like did she
was that an accident or on purpose? You know, like
did she write her whole name? Did she mean for
me to get that so I could find her or not?
I don't know. Anyway, I thought worst case she was private.
(02:12):
Worst case she just never approves the request, right, I guess,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Yeah, you got to charge it to the game. When
you shoot, you got to just accept it doesn't matter
what they say or what happens. You just got to
accept all that comes with shooting.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Well, it's nice for you to say that, but I
will say I have a low gun shy over the
years because my definition of creepy and other people's definition
of creepy is different in different generations. I mean, again,
I think creepy is I don't know, say, hanging out
someone's work all day till they show up, that's creepy. Yeah,
I would say creepy is. I don't a lot of
(02:46):
things are creepy, but I don't necessarily think looking at
someone smiling or calling them pretty, or giving them a compliment.
I don't think that's that's creepy, but some people do.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, I'm not like trying to say, like, you know,
men have it so hard, like you mentioned before, but
I just think I couldn't be a man in today's
day and age.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
There are mixed signals.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I will admit, like people will say I want this,
but they don't necessarily want it from everybody. They want
it from the people they want it from. But the
problem is you're gonna get it from people you don't
along with people that you do, and you have to
just be like, Okay, you know, I don't know, you
have to. I guess you got to figure out if
you want people, if you really want to be approached
and hit on in a respectful manner, then guys are
(03:27):
going to do it who you don't want to go
out with, and you're gonna have to say no, thank
you or not. But I guess, as like a society,
I guess we have to be nicer to that kind
of behavior if we want it to happen. And I
don't necessarily think most of my male friends would would
even bother anymore because they'd be afraid of being shamed
on the Internet somehow or something like that. So again,
(03:49):
not that the guys have it hard, No, I guess
that is one thing that most women never have to
do is figure out in a male female dynamic is
figure out how to get the attention of the girl
they like in a way that is acceptable but aggressive
enough that the person knows what you're trying to do.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Now, we're too busy trying to stay safe from the
men that we do tell no too.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Well, there you go, see, And that's the other thing
is you're exactly right. The flip side is dudes are
ruining it for the guys. Guys are ruining it for
the guys who have good intentions, you know. Or how
about as men when a woman tells you no, the
answer is no and then we leave.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
It goes both ways. You're exactly right, Pa, you hit
on you you're ugly.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yes, I've seen that one too, where it's like you know,
I've seen it. You guys have gotten it before. All
the time. Guys will DM you and be like hey,
you want to you know, you want to hang or whatever,
and you're like, no, I have a boyfriend, and then
it's like, well, I think you're ugly. Anyway, why did
her dummy like, yeah, right, like just take the l
a right, Like, we have to know how to take
(04:46):
the L. And I think you guys have to know
how to serve up a nice L.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
You know.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Yeah, if you're shutting someone down, you can package it
in a nice way.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I think there's no reason to be rude to a
stranger who thinks you're hot and.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
They want to go out with with you. No, you know?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Yeah, okay, so most people one daylight saving to end?
Which one do we want?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Though?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
I'm confused do we want this version or the other version?
It doesn't matter. Once we make the decision, then it
just is what it is, and we get used to it.
We never have to worry about it again because if
you recall, if you've been listening for a minute, I
grew up in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
We never did this. We never did this. Yeah, I
learned in this weekend.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah you just I've you known me for ten years
and you've just learned that this weekend. I've said it
every year.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
When we do this, every single year, you broke it
down every time.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
I'm like, it's amazing that we don't do this in
Arizona and I just learned. And there's a couple other places,
I think, maybe one or two other places where they
don't do it, but uh no, we never.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
We never did this like the clock.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
For the first eighteen years of my life, the time
was what the time was, and everybody else changed around us.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, I learned that from my psychic medium. I was
talking to her this weekend and she's.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Loud for me. The guy who's been saying it for
the last ten years.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh, my psychic told me, And I was like, oh,
I think Fred told me about that once.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, idea, he doesn't do it either.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh, why so, which one do we want?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Sundays starts a daylight saving time is renewing the annual
debate over ending the practice for good. More than half,
or fifty four percent of Americans support doing away with it,
according to a recent Gallup poll. That's a sharp change
from seventy three percent who supported daylight saving time in
nineteen ninety nine, the last time they asked about a
Medical experts say standard time promotes better sleep and lowers
(06:20):
health risks like heart attacks and workplace accidents.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
I mean, we probably want the one where it gets
dark earlier because we have to go to bed earlier.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
That's true, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Like in the summer, it's bright to like ten pm,
and I can't go to sleep, which I love it.
When I'm not working right, it's hard, but I get.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Depressed though when you look out the window, it's like
four thirty and its starting to get dark in the
middle of December. Like we can let that go. Let's
just skip all this time saving crap.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I'm done with it.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I'm done, all right, I'm protesting. You can run on that, Paulina.
That'll be your platform, you know it. This Gene Hackman
death is getting very I mean, it was weird, and
it's getting even weirder now, if that's the word. As
the details come out. Of course, Sheen hack and an actor,
a classic actor. He and his wife, Betsy, died of
natural causes, They're saying a week apart. The two were
(07:09):
found dead in their Santa Fe home on February twenty six,
so the State Medical Examiner's Office said that she died first,
probably around February eleventh, of a rare viral infection. The
actor then died seven days later, which is when the
last activity of his pacemaker was recorded. Their bodies were
found in separate rooms. The chief medical investigator so that
Hackman may not have even known that his wife had
(07:30):
died because he showed evidence of advanced Alzheimer's disease. The
investigator said that he was in a very poor state
of health. He had significant heart disease, and ultimately that's
what resulted in his death. His death was attributed to
heart disease, with Alzheimer's as a contributing factor. She died
from this handsa virus pulmonary syndrome, which is spread through
(07:51):
infection by rodents, including deer mice. So crazy, like, I mean,
he was gone and then he died later, no one
cared for him.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
He didn't know. I mean, it's very sad story. It
is because then he was pretty much living with her deceased, right,
and then somehow maybe he didn't know.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
I mean, because you would have thought maybe he would
have called somebody or correct somebody. I don't know, very
so have you ever been so mad at a store
that you would do something like this? Police say that
an upset customer intentionally drove through a Carmack store's showroom
in southern California injuring eight people. The suspect had just
had his vehicle appraised in the Inglewood location. There was
(08:35):
some form of business dispute. I'm assuming he didn't agree
with the appraisal, and so he argued with the person.
The customer left and then returned in the vehicle, drove
it through the showroom like I guess, through the window
in one side, out the other. The silver Subaru was
captured on video backing into the showroom through a door,
turning and then driving through another door. The suspect initially fled,
(08:56):
but then later turned himself in. What's the most aggression, Jason,
You've ever shown towards a business? There's a business, Like,
have you ever like stood on business and been like no, no, no, no,
that's not right.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I don't think so. I don't think I've ever done
that in my life ever.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I just take what's given to me and chalk it
up to the game, like, well I wasn't meant to
have that, because it was meant for me or not
meant for me. I have to do it every year
when I make an insurance claim. Every year, every single
year I call. It's the same insurance claim about the
same thing. I call every year and every year, I'm like,
they're talking and I'm like, but what you're saying doesn't
(09:34):
make that, do you? And then they'll just keep repeating
the same thing. I'm like, can you I finally, I
think it was last year where I said to the guy,
I'm like, I'm not trying to be rude, but can
you stop for one second repeating the same thing over
and over that doesn't make any sense? Like can you
look at the information and then can you use your
brain and instead of using the saying the same line
(09:54):
over and over, can you realize that what you're saying
doesn't make sense. I'm terrified you never had to say
them because I think I think people, you know, to
the point about people like being weird when they approach
you know, men or women or whatever. I do think
that there are certain people who want to stand on
business for everything, Like they're mad about everything. Nothing's right,
(10:15):
you know what I mean. I don't know if that happens
with age or what, but like people just constantly complaining.
It's like we all know that person who nothing's ever
right and they have to make sure everybody knows it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
That's not me. But every now and again, like you.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You're not gonna get any Honestly, if I just accept
this slug light answer, then I did, and we just
hang up the phone. Then nothing, nothing happens. So every
now and again, you're going to stand on business. You guys,
never do it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I got into a fight one time with UH, and
this is not my fault, but like UH a furniture store.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I want to call them out, but I won't.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And they like scratched my floor because they've delivered a
couch and they came to fix it a week later
because like the back was all torn or whatever, like
we can get to take this back or we can
come fix it. I said, come fix it's on the
second floors whatever, And they scratched the crap out of
my floor. And I'm telling you, I turned in to
a whole another woman just talking to them because I
was upset because I'm like, it's a new house, new floor,
all these things.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
But also like you guys just don't care.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
You're very careless, and that really ticks me off. And
I was I was a Karen Times ten, like I'm
in my Karen era. You guys know, Kaylin knows this.
I'm about to complain about everything the elevator in our building.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Like I'm just complaining, right, person, then you're the person
I was just referring to.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
OK, yeah, but like, how do you make a mistake
and then I want to fix it?
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Is my question? You know, I mean they don't want
to pay for it, but like I'm gonna stand on it.
Like you did this. I didn't do this. You did this.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
You know you think we picked up my own couch,
scratch my own floor, right right? Probably didn't match. Group
that owns Tinder and Hinge is introducing an AI chat
pot that will help the single people decide which pictures
would be the most popular, how to write messages to people,
and how to do like the little prompts or whatever
(11:50):
else effective coaching for struggling users. You can rely on
the chat pot to help guide you through the conversations.
The chatbot will flag messages that are off color, which
I thought was the point of Tinder, so don't do that,
and then prompt the user to reconsider sending it. One
fit that people who receive the notification will rethink the
note Oh no, I meant that. That's like the iPhone
(12:11):
when you change my certain things to duck no, I didn't.
I didn't want to. I certainly didn't say duck. I've
never really typed duck.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Ever duck for one time it auto corrects it to
that other word.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm like, wait, okay, come.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
On, no, or like sometimes on the Hinge it'll be
if you write anything like even suggest like remotely suggestive,
it'll be like, are you sure you want to send this?
Oh I'm positive like that new yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
Because I think they're trying to cut down on like
the weirdos that say like really dirty stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, but no, trust me, the person who.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Typed the really dirty thing that was flagged by Hinge,
they meant to write that, And you know, I appreciate
your own risk. I guess we have to have a
food story and when's trending every single day if we can.
Wendy's now has more frosty flavors to offer you, not
just chocolate or vanilla. The fast food chain is giving
its iconic ice cream treat a makeover in the coming months.
(13:02):
They're rolling out new ways to customize the treat, frosty
swirls and frosty fusions. This is this is giving mcflurry.
It is in a lot of ways listening. They're not
saying exactly what they're gonna make available to you. But
if the fact that they have the little girl scout
thin Min's frosty right now, if that's any kind of
hints of what's to come, I also send to you, Jason.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Maybe I don't know who else.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Apparently Taco Bell has an annual like Steve Jobs rollout
of new menu items where they have an auditorium full
of people.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And then they said except that.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
The people that they I don't know where they found
these people to present, but it was not giving inspiration.
I mean they had like the whitest white lady out
there going who like the mact that panther, Oh my god, Max,
that com Pantha and now we're going.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
To roll it up and I ah.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
And it was like this, no passion, no excitement, right,
like you're the marketing directors that you had to put yourself. No, like,
let's get some real passion Taco Bell people up there.
Me you anyone in this room could have done a
better job. I mean I would have been so excited
to tell you all what other variations are the same
seven ingredients I can stuff in my face, but not
(14:11):
these people.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
It just wasn't giving you saw it? Did I need passion?
I need more energy. It's just I'm like, who are
these people? Where did you find these people? Yeah? They
were smart.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
They would call everyone in this room to come and
make a presentation, and we can really show them.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
We can show up and show out. Have auditions.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Why don't you go on the app and see like
who orders the most socco bell. Let's use these people
obviously know they're excited about it. You know, auditions, let's
audition for that. I would have loved to go up
there and tell you about the new Mexican pizza roll
up or whatever it is that's going on. An eighteen
year old from India has ere inned the Guinness World
Record for the hairyest face on a human being. Oh no,
(14:48):
I hate these and it's like a werewolf. I mean,
I'm not making fun of the guy, but like literally
there's there's almost no part of his face doesn't have
hair on it. Officials determined that he had two hundred
and one points seven two hairs per square centimeter of skin.
The team has hair all over his face. Ninety percent
of his face is covered. It's been that way since
(15:08):
he was a child and he wins the record and
the top Secret comedy club in London has banned people
who have had botox from coming to their comedy club.
Guests whose faces seem frozen from botas and injection are
not allowed in the world famous comedy club. The team
began conducting expression tests along with standard ID checks at
(15:30):
the front door to guaranteed that anybody who enters can
depict how funny or not funny they find a joke.
Can you imagine, you know, you're on stage, you tell
a funny joke, the person can't really smile because they're
too frozen. They're too you know, full of the botulism.
It's kind of a funny thing. I don't know you
really enforced this, but it's now we're talking about them.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
So it was smart.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
National pack your Lunch Day is today, National Napping Day,
National Mario Day, and in parentheses thanks to Caitlin the
video game character. So if you're not a video game
in Mario, than you we're not talking about you again.
It ain't your day, so let's not get fired up
about it. The weekend now the Entertainment reported two minutes
