Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Bread Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.
Florida the Gators, Jason, they beat the Houston Horses. Yep,
that's exactly right, the Houston Horses. The Florida Gators beat
the Houston Cougars in an NCAA title game thriller, which
(00:24):
was stopped by some defense at the very end. So
it was very exciting. Sixty five to sixty three. Florida
is the NCAA men's basketball national champion, So congratulations to them.
Have you been paying attention to this Karen Reid trial. No,
there's a whole documentary about him. I can't remember where
the documentary is, Hulu or I think it's on Hulu. Essentially,
this woman is accused of killing her boyfriend who was
(00:46):
a cop in the Massachusetts I think, I said, of
Boston maybe, and she says she's being framed, and of
course the prosecution is saying that she ran this guy
over while drinking in the middle of the night, in
the middle of the winter, and there's a lot of
talk about this thing. A lot of people think that
she's innocent. And if you watch the documentary, I mean,
(01:09):
my mom and I said and watched the whole thing
a couple of weeks ago, and I was like, I
don't know, maybe she did, maybe she didn't. It's not
cut and dry, but there's some definitely some shady stuff
going on with this, But it was a hung jury
the first time around. And so now is the sixth
day of jury selection in the second Massachusetts trial of
Karen Reid. Ten jurors have been seated for the retrial
(01:30):
of Reid, accused of killing her Boston police officer boyfriend
John O'Keeffe by hitting him with her SUV in twenty
twenty two. At least sixteen jurors who needed before the
trial can begin, but things tolled yesterday with no jurors
were selected. It's going to be hard, I think for
people around them to find jurors around there who don't
know anything about this case because it's been so widely
talked about. I mean, it's all over TikTok. Of course,
(01:51):
the documentary. I'm sure there's been a dateline about it
or forty eight hours or whatever else. But Reid claims
that she left o'kee at the house where he was
found dead, and she is being framed for the actual
murdered by the actual killers. The judge declared a mistrout
last year when the jury found that they couldn't reach
a unanimous verdict. So we'll see what happens with that.
(02:14):
But I watched the documentary. I think it's Hulu. See
what you think, fred Olay, This is for you, paulin him.
You know, I like to try and cater the stories
to the people in a room who need the information.
I might realize there are tents of people listening at home,
but but no, I do it for you. Fredo Lay
recalls the Cantina tostitos because of milk contamination. These are
the corn tortilla chips. The Tostitos Cantina traditional yellow corn
(02:37):
tortilla chips rolls off the tongue. They might contain nacho
cheese made with real milk and can cause issues with
people that are allergic or have sensitivities to milk. The
recall only affects thirteen ounce bags and were available for
purchase as of March seventh. The chips were sold in grocery,
drug and convenience stories in thirteen states. So there, I need.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
To go to my best friend's house right now because
he can't have that and have milk.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You better see if you've got the tostitos cantina traditional
yellow corn tortilla chips. The only one he eats. What
are you talking about? Those? The one? He's a cantina guy.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
He is.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He eates pretzels and tortilla chips all he can have.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Okay, well you better call him up. You better call
him up and see. Gen Z is this, according to
The New York Post, is being labeled as the Ghosted Generation.
So gen Z is defined as what I always get
these messed up. I'm technically somewhere between millennial and I'm
right on the cusp of millennial and gen X is it? No,
ninety seven to twenty twelve is gen Z? But what
(03:32):
am I? What am I again? Millennial? You're a fairly millennial?
Or but what's before that? What's older than that? Why? X?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Right? No?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So yeah, so gen Z starts at ninety seven, Millennials
are eighty one and ninety six, and it's right before
that because that was born at the end of eighties
gen x X Yeah, right, So I'm somewhere between millennial. Okay,
So gen Z is becoming the ghosted generation? Or is
according to a new article from Business Insider, young adults
today are facing more knows than any generation before them,
(04:06):
from dating apps to college applications to the brutal job market.
Is that true though? I mean maybe dating apps, because
you know you're there's a much a much higher percentage
of folks that you're looking at and that could potentially
not swipe right on you, which I don't necessarily see
as a no. That doesn't seem like I mean, it's
not if someone doesn't match with me, it's not necessarily rejection.
(04:27):
I don't if I don't know them. Maybe if I
know them, i'd feel rejected. But I don't know. How
is that any different than when I used to have
to go out back in the day, like in high school,
walk up to the girl in high school and talk
to her because I couldn't text her because we didn't
have that. I don't know. But and why are there
more nos in the job market now than there were
when we were younger? I mean, I mean, how many
(04:47):
nos have I gotten in this business? I get them
every day still to this day. But there's an author
who said, it's not about entitlement, it's about gen z
growing up in a world where yes, seems more out
of reach than ever, despite how having more access to
opportunities think endless dating options at your fingertips get higher
rates of loneliness. Or sending out hundreds of job applications
with nothing but radio silence in return? Is that a
(05:10):
new thing? Though? I don't know. I'm am asking an
honest question. I'm not picking on anybody, but are there
really more nos now in the job market than there
ever have been? I mean, I.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Feel like because the way we get jobs now is different.
So now you can mass you know, fine on indeed
a thousand job opportunities and apply for all of them.
Back in the day, you had to know somebody or
have an internship, or you shot your shot at like
one job and works your way to get it. Now
they could shoot their shot at a million jobs. Yeah,
but it's old.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, Kiki, If I send a thousand mass job you
know resumes out, one's you know, generic application to a
thousand places, and I know that's probably an exaggeration, but
let's say I do and and nine and ninety nine.
Tell me no, I don't see that as a rejection
because I didn't really invest myself in any of that.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Right, because you're you're fishing, You're normal, right, So they
illusional and aything that they deserve all one thousand jobs
that they applied for. Like I applied to be a
doctor yesterday. You know what I'm saying that I think.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
You could do it. I mean, you're a judge, right,
you know.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
It's that type of delusion that they had that our
generation and the ones before us we didn't have. We
lived in like a different reality because we were humbled
every day.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I mean, that might make it. I can see why
it might be harder to get a job because everyone's
doing that. So it may be harder for people to
if I'm a hiring manager and people are applying for
the job and they don't even know what they applied
for because it's because they just applied, Because then then
it might be harder for me to stand out than
it was before. Because like when I was applying for
(06:38):
radio jobs, I'm not even that old, but I mean
this was you know, early two thousands when I'm first
applying for radio jobs. The way you had to do
it was you had to make a CD, right, and
you had to type out a resume and a CD,
and then you had to figure out a way to
make that stand out, but you still had to put
it in a fed X envelope and send it to
a radio station. And I and then when I finally
(07:00):
got said jobs, and I was the guy receiving those things,
and I can remember there would be bins of these applications,
but there would be maybe thirty, and I thought that
was a lot. You know, We'd have like these bins
of envelopes of people who wanted jobs we didn't have,
and I would try, because I remember applying for them
and no one writing me back. I can remember, but
I knew they got it because it was FedEx so
you could put a little receipt on it. But I
(07:22):
remember trying to go through them all and at least
call them back. I had no ability to hire them,
I had no juice, but I just remember what it
was like to send the envelope and get nothing back.
I can remember. I remember this guy. There was a
guy in Louisville, Kentucky. I said, I made a I
took a bottle of Jack Daniels because it's Kentucky whiskey,
and I bless you.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I'm sorry I make it away from the mine.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I know you're not allergic to them because that's one
of your favorites show. And I made a custom label
for the front of the Jack Daniels bottle with my
face on it, my name and the whole thing, and
I put it on there and I sent it to
him and he never hooked me back. And I saw
him at a conference three years ago because he's still
in the business, and I go, do you remember when
I did that? He goes, yeah, thanks for the whiskey.
(08:05):
And I was like, you couldn't have answered. I go,
I go to anyone else do anything like that. He
was like no. I'm like, couldn't you have at least
called me and said I don't have a job for you.
But that was really creative than you. You know, it's
funny that you don't forget these things. But I guess
what I'm saying is if you're if you're swiping on
one hundred people on a dating app and nobody matches
with you, I don't necessarily think that's rejection because I
(08:28):
don't there's no investment. Yeah, you know, if I make it,
If I go ten rounds in an interview and don't
get the job, that's rejection. They decided they didn't want you. Now,
that sucks, but that's nothing new, right, That's what happened forever.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Well, I think now too. I listen to a whole
podcast episode yesterday about it was really interesting, and I
think what's going on to his AI, I think is
going through those applications and automatically disqualifying a lot of people.
So I think, oh, that's the.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Only way, right, because how can they possibly If everybody
on Earth who's looking for a job is just mass
applying for jobs correct, then how do they know which
you recommended?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They're like, don't mass apply, like make this personal, like
actually like do it the correct way. But people are
not gen Z, I'm talking to you, so then you know,
AI is just kind of like throwing them out basically
in the trash and it sucks. But also too, I
see on TikTok a lot of gen Z say that
it's hard to get a job, and I don't know
how true this is, but somebody said that even Trader
Joe's has like a list of people applying every day
(09:23):
and that they can't even hire. So I don't know,
I'm a job market expert, but it doesn't seem great, right, now.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
No, I don't really. The market is crazy. I've heard
and think about it. Now they have fool companies that
all they do is scan through applications for other job
like for companies.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh yeah, you'll see it on TikTok all the time.
Ways to optimize your resume, so AI will pick up that, right,
you know and stuff. So I mean I would agree,
now you're competing with a new level of sophistication. But
I don't know that that means that you should feel
more rejected than any other generation who didn't get a
job either. I mean, because I guess every generation has
(09:58):
had challenges. Right. It used to be you couldn't even
apply online. You had to physically go to all these
places and fill out individual applications and whatever. You know,
So that was a challenge. But I guess that meant
there was less competition because everybody couldn't just push one button.
But I guess college is probably the same way. I
remember I had to fill out individual college applications for
every college. Yeah, now that felt like rejection because every
(10:22):
process was different everyone. I mean, there's some of the
essays you could reuse, but a lot of colleges wanted
different subject matters, so you had to write different essays. Then,
of course you had different levels of investment. I can
remember not getting into colleges I really thought I wanted
to go to and that felt terrible because you're rejecting me.
Somebody read that and looked through my grades and looked
(10:43):
through my resume and looked through my essays and decided
I wasn't good enough. But I'm not even that personal.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I mean, you never had the thought like, oh, I'm
getting rejected more than like Susie down the hall, did
you like? I would never think like that. I mean,
I know they have people like designated when you're applying
to like combing through your social and that's got to
be an issue these days. But I just I don't
know how we can quantify the amount of rejection each
generation gets. I just think every other generation never had
the thought like I'm getting it worse.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Good point, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Somebody said he didn't respond because Jack's made in Tennessee
at Kentucky. I think I don't. I don't. Maybe it
was a Tennessee job. I don't know, I don't know.
That's that's the point he put.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
His last twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
On the point is, I couldn't afford to do any
of this, and I don't know when I became a
photoshop expert to make the label. That's the point. The
point is, I guess I know that nobody else did that,
so at least take one second to call me and go,
your tape sucked. But that was really that was her creative.
But maybe maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's what happened.
(11:45):
Critics say that gen Z was never taught how to lose,
was raised in a culture where everybody is a winner,
and now in the real world, the crash is hard. Okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Maybe I mean my sister's getting rejected right now for internship.
She's applying and I've never heard her saying, I mean,
she's bombed, but she moves on. She's like, you know,
I learned something in every interview.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
See But you were saying she's getting to like three
rounds of interviews, and I would argue that is a rejection.
Now I'm not saying she's not good enough, but what.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I mean is it hurts to make the final round.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yes, Like if I send an application and you don't
write me back or I or I swipe right on
you simply and you don't swipe right on me. I
don't see that as a rejection. You don't know me
from anything. Now, if I interviewed three times for a
job and then you say I want somebody else, now
that I can understand that that's rejection. That's them saying
(12:32):
someone else is better than you. Yeah, And I don't
think that's a terrible thing.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And she, I will say, like she takes it better
based on she works with recruiters, so like some recruiters
are really great at telling her like why she may
not have gotten it and talking her through like this
is not about you personally, there was someone a little
more qualified, Like she like takes it better than if
someone just like goes her and then is like, sorry,
someone else got the job. You know, because she's putting
time in these interviews. But she's never once said like
(12:56):
this is worse than when you were going through it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You know, maybe the JEB was a Knox whatever twenty
two years ago, And I promise you I was considerate
about what I was doing. I don't know, it doesn't
I didn't. I thought it was clever men who I'll
finish these headlines quickly. Men who regularly use cannabis or
synthetic cannabinoids cannabinoids okay reports significantly lower sexual satisfaction, desire,
(13:23):
and erectile function compared to non users. Hmmm, I don't know.
I'm doing all right, Thank you, Thanks for going fine
in that area. I don't know if I agree with that.
I feel like if i'm you know, hypothetically, if I
had a little bit of a right the sensation is
actually a little I don't know about that from what
(13:44):
I've heard. Allegedly, there's a phone case that flips over
when it hear's the word cheers. Heineken has created what
they're calling the Flipper. It's a phone case which flips
your phone face down so you don't get distracted by
socials when you're out socializing. It uses AI trained listening
tools connected to a robotic arm to flip the phone
(14:05):
nestled inside it when it senses the word cheers, a
universal sign that you're out having in person conversation. It's
a prototype for now, but the idea, of course is
that you wouldn't be distracted by your phone, which the
kiki would just flip it back over so it wouldn't work.
And a guy who is four feet three inches tall
is believed to be the world's oldest person after he
(14:25):
turned one hundred and twenty five on Saturday, April fifth.
This guy lives in Peru. His name is Mashiko and
that's what his government issued photo says, and it lists
his birth year is nineteen hundred. The old and tiny
man was orphan at the age of seven after his
parents tragically died while trying to cross the river in
(14:45):
nineteen oh seven. The guy worked in the fields from
a young age, unable to attend school because the closest
one was too far away. During his time working in
the fields, he reared animals and bartered farm goods. He
never had a partner or children, lived a simple, solitary
and self sufficient life. But apparently he's one hundred and
twenty five years old. I'm all sad. My goodness, I
(15:07):
think a nice eighty five ninety would be And at
this rate, I'm not even sure about maybe a nice
if I could live, If I could live healthfully to
about eighty and then I just dropped dead.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Oh don't say that. Eighties, young, Yeah, I still need
to get it in at eighty get it in? Yeah,
oh lord, he is young.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, well you know what I mean. At one hundred
and twenty five, I think I'm probably good. I'll set
with them. It's National Library Workers Day, National Mpanada Day,
and National Zoo Lover's Day. The Entertainer Report, blogs and
Stay or Go will debate some relationship drama all next
Friend Show
The Bread Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.

I knew they got it because it was FedEx so
you could put a little receipt on it. But I
(07:22):
remember trying to go through them all and at least
call them back. I had no ability to hire them,
I had no juice, but I just remember what it
was like to send the envelope and get nothing back.
I can remember. I remember this guy. There was a
guy in Louisville, Kentucky. I said, I made a I
took a bottle of Jack Daniels because it's Kentucky whiskey,
and I bless you.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I'm sorry I make it away from the mine.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I know you're not allergic to them because that's one
of your favorites show. And I made a custom label
for the front of the Jack Daniels bottle with my
face on it, my name and the whole thing, and
I put it on there and I sent it to
him and he never hooked me back. And I saw
him at a conference three years ago because he's still
in the business, and I go, do you remember when
I did that? He goes, yeah, thanks for the whiskey.
(08:05):
And I was like, you couldn't have answered. I go,
I go to anyone else do anything like that. He
was like no. I'm like, couldn't you have at least
called me and said I don't have a job for you.
But that was really creative than you. You know, it's
funny that you don't forget these things. But I guess
what I'm saying is if you're if you're swiping on
one hundred people on a dating app and nobody matches
with you, I don't necessarily think that's rejection because I
(08:28):
don't there's no investment. Yeah, you know, if I make it,
If I go ten rounds in an interview and don't
get the job, that's rejection. They decided they didn't want you. Now,
that sucks, but that's nothing new, right, That's what happened forever.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Well, I think now too. I listen to a whole
podcast episode yesterday about it was really interesting, and I
think what's going on to his AI, I think is
going through those applications and automatically disqualifying a lot of people.
So I think, oh, that's the.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Only way, right, because how can they possibly If everybody
on Earth who's looking for a job is just mass
applying for jobs correct, then how do they know which
you recommended?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
They're like, don't mass apply, like make this personal, like
actually like do it the correct way. But people are
not gen Z, I'm talking to you, so then you know,
AI is just kind of like throwing them out basically
in the trash and it sucks. But also too, I
see on TikTok a lot of gen Z say that
it's hard to get a job, and I don't know
how true this is, but somebody said that even Trader
Joe's has like a list of people applying every day
(09:23):
and that they can't even hire. So I don't know,
I'm a job market expert, but it doesn't seem great, right, now.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
No, I don't really. The market is crazy. I've heard
and think about it. Now they have fool companies that
all they do is scan through applications for other job
like for companies.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Oh yeah, you'll see it on TikTok all the time.
Ways to optimize your resume, so AI will pick up that, right,
you know and stuff. So I mean I would agree,
now you're competing with a new level of sophistication. But
I don't know that that means that you should feel
more rejected than any other generation who didn't get a
job either. I mean, because I guess every generation has
(09:58):
had challenges. Right. It used to be you couldn't even
apply online. You had to physically go to all these
places and fill out individual applications and whatever. You know,
So that was a challenge. But I guess that meant
there was less competition because everybody couldn't just push one button.
But I guess college is probably the same way. I
remember I had to fill out individual college applications for
every college. Yeah, now that felt like rejection because every
(10:22):
process was different everyone. I mean, there's some of the
essays you could reuse, but a lot of colleges wanted
different subject matters, so you had to write different essays. Then,
of course you had different levels of investment. I can
remember not getting into colleges I really thought I wanted
to go to and that felt terrible because you're rejecting me.
Somebody read that and looked through my grades and looked
(10:43):
through my resume and looked through my essays and decided
I wasn't good enough. But I'm not even that personal.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I mean, you never had the thought like, oh, I'm
getting rejected more than like Susie down the hall, did
you like? I would never think like that. I mean,
I know they have people like designated when you're applying
to like combing through your social and that's got to
be an issue these days. But I just I don't
know how we can quantify the amount of rejection each
generation gets. I just think every other generation never had
the thought like I'm getting it worse.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Good point, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Somebody said he didn't respond because Jack's made in Tennessee
at Kentucky. I think I don't. I don't. Maybe it
was a Tennessee job. I don't know, I don't know.
That's that's the point he put.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
His last twenty dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
On the point is, I couldn't afford to do any
of this, and I don't know when I became a
photoshop expert to make the label. That's the point. The
point is, I guess I know that nobody else did that,
so at least take one second to call me and go,
your tape sucked. But that was really that was her creative.
But maybe maybe that's what happened. Maybe that's what happened.
(11:45):
Critics say that gen Z was never taught how to lose,
was raised in a culture where everybody is a winner,
and now in the real world, the crash is hard. Okay,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Maybe I mean my sister's getting rejected right now for internship.
She's applying and I've never heard her saying, I mean,
she's bombed, but she moves on. She's like, you know,
I learned something in every interview.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
See But you were saying she's getting to like three
rounds of interviews, and I would argue that is a rejection.
Now I'm not saying she's not good enough, but what.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
I mean is it hurts to make the final round.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yes, Like if I send an application and you don't
write me back or I or I swipe right on
you simply and you don't swipe right on me. I
don't see that as a rejection. You don't know me
from anything. Now, if I interviewed three times for a
job and then you say I want somebody else, now
that I can understand that that's rejection. That's them saying
(12:32):
someone else is better than you. Yeah, And I don't
think that's a terrible thing.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
And she, I will say, like she takes it better
based on she works with recruiters, so like some recruiters
are really great at telling her like why she may
not have gotten it and talking her through like this
is not about you personally, there was someone a little
more qualified, Like she like takes it better than if
someone just like goes her and then is like, sorry,
someone else got the job. You know, because she's putting
time in these interviews. But she's never once said like
(12:56):
this is worse than when you were going through it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
You know, maybe the JEB was a Knox whatever twenty
two years ago, And I promise you I was considerate
about what I was doing. I don't know, it doesn't
I didn't. I thought it was clever men who I'll
finish these headlines quickly. Men who regularly use cannabis or
synthetic cannabinoids cannabinoids okay reports significantly lower sexual satisfaction, desire,
(13:23):
and erectile function compared to non users. Hmmm, I don't know.
I'm doing all right, Thank you, Thanks for going fine
in that area. I don't know if I agree with that.
I feel like if i'm you know, hypothetically, if I
had a little bit of a right the sensation is
actually a little I don't know about that from what
(13:44):
I've heard. Allegedly, there's a phone case that flips over
when it hear's the word cheers. Heineken has created what
they're calling the Flipper. It's a phone case which flips
your phone face down so you don't get distracted by
socials when you're out socializing. It uses AI trained listening
tools connected to a robotic arm to flip the phone
(14:05):
nestled inside it when it senses the word cheers, a
universal sign that you're out having in person conversation. It's
a prototype for now, but the idea, of course is
that you wouldn't be distracted by your phone, which the
kiki would just flip it back over so it wouldn't work.
And a guy who is four feet three inches tall
is believed to be the world's oldest person after he
(14:25):
turned one hundred and twenty five on Saturday, April fifth.
This guy lives in Peru. His name is Mashiko and
that's what his government issued photo says, and it lists
his birth year is nineteen hundred. The old and tiny
man was orphan at the age of seven after his
parents tragically died while trying to cross the river in
(14:45):
nineteen oh seven. The guy worked in the fields from
a young age, unable to attend school because the closest
one was too far away. During his time working in
the fields, he reared animals and bartered farm goods. He
never had a partner or children, lived a simple, solitary
and self sufficient life. But apparently he's one hundred and
twenty five years old. I'm all sad. My goodness, I
(15:07):
think a nice eighty five ninety would be And at
this rate, I'm not even sure about maybe a nice
if I could live, If I could live healthfully to
about eighty and then I just dropped dead.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
Oh don't say that. Eighties, young, Yeah, I still need
to get it in at eighty get it in? Yeah,
oh lord, he is young.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Okay, well you know what I mean. At one hundred
and twenty five, I think I'm probably good. I'll set
with them. It's National Library Workers Day, National Mpanada Day,
and National Zoo Lover's Day. The Entertainer Report, blogs and
Stay or Go will debate some relationship drama all next
