Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Dread Show is on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I have metal detector apps now, Kaitlin, Wait, really what
this thing?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Says the text? So I can use my phone. I
don't need metal detect your apps now. I have it.
It works so well, but I don't know how.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't either, so I'm just like crouching down with
my phonetick.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I guess, so maybe you can put your phone on
a stick. I don't know. May it's cool, you guys? Yeah? Absolutely, yeah,
all of this is cool. The Lego right app? That's cool. No,
it is though. This is where this is a happiness
we got to find in our lives. Man, you need

(00:42):
an outlet, whatever it might be.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yes, My thing is I don't I don't care what
you think about me as a grown man doing legos.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I and you can make fun of me for this too,
But I can't think about anything else when I'm doing it.
Like when I'm putting legos together, hours will literally hours
will go by and I have no concept of what
it is or what I wasn't thinking about anything else
because I actually have to focus. And I know that
a lot of people listening are like you're more on it.
His instructions. Is not that hard to put the things together.
I have to focus, I do. I don't know it's

(01:11):
my self diagnosed. Add I'm not sure what it is,
but I have to really think about what I'm doing.
And so hours go by and I wasn't thinking of
anything else. And so my mom, well over a vacation
when I was putting concord together as opposed to like, hey,
you're not at the day club, you know, or whatever
I was supposed to be doing on vacation, like you know,
at the club and you know, by the pool with

(01:32):
the ladies or whatever. And I'm in there putting concord together,
and she's like, you know what, you can have all
the legos you want, because you haven't. You haven't said
a word or looked at your phone in three hours. Yes,
you haven checked one email. You haven't not one more
on has called you to tell you something's wrong, you know,
not some suit call. You're telling you how to do
your job, who's never done it? Nothing, none of this,
none of this has happened. You haven't looked at any

(01:53):
of that. So put your damn legos together. Here here's
some more so I advocate for this. I think everybody
needs something like this and for Kaitlin's metal detecting.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
So yes, it is. That's exciting.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
So headlines today and it's kind of a slow news day,
but we're going to go on a journey right now.
An unruly plane passenger threw a fit over a meal,
which then forced a Milan bowed American Airlines flight to
divert back to JFK. How mad would you be if
you're on this flight and you're four hours out and
it's like, nope, you got some idiot who's mad they

(02:27):
didn't get the stake or whatever, and then they got
turned the airplane around. It was a wild scene that
was unfolded high above the Atlantic when a passenger lost
it over a meal and a seating issue and then
tried to barge into the cockpit.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Let's not let's not do that.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
The flight eventually landed around three am at JFK, shaking
travelers stuck on the tarmac and no compensation in sight,
just an offer to access the lounge for seventy nine bucks.
I will make even more mad. So we turn this
thing around because someone's crazy, and I realize it's not
the airline's fault necessarily, but you're a crazy version.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Of throw me a cockpit.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
And then we're at JFK at three in the morning,
and can you tell me what you're giving me is
I can spend eighty bucks to go to your lounge.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
I'm all set with you.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
No, they had to rebook the whole flight without that
crazy person and take off and go the next day.
A new vacuum cleaner is going to feature text and
call alerts.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Now, what do we need it? Can we not.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Separate ourselves from texting? Or can we not just use
the phone put it in your pocket while you're vacuuming. Also,
a new refrigerator will let users play trivia games and
watch videos on its large screen, while accommodation washer dryer
is equipped to display incoming calls on its screen when
linked to a phone. The products are all made by
Samsung as part of the new the Spoke AI product line.

(03:41):
So this is for kitchen, laundry, and shopping. Affectionate intelligence
is what they're calling it. AI is there to thoughtfully
care for everyone in your home. I don't know why
I need this, but I guess I do. KFC toothpaste
has sold out what this was a thing. A Kentucky
fried chicken and fired toothpaste has already sold out. KFC

(04:02):
teamed up with an Australian oral care company to create
a fried chicken flavored toothpaste, which just sounds disgusting and
the fast food chain described it as a cravable toothpaste
that delivers next level freshness with every brush. It sold
for thirteen bucks and will have to be restocked. There's
also a CAMFC electric themed tooth or themed electric toothbrush

(04:23):
which I would buy that. The toothbrush I would consider
the CAMC flavored toothpaste, I could do with that. A
nine year old boy was so dedicated to get into
school that he drove his parents truck to school after
missing the bus. So they received a call from a
concern citizen Wednesday morning about a driver who appeared to
be too young to drive. He appeared to be maybe

(04:43):
ten to eleven and was described to be in a
white Chevy pickup truck. Officers eventually located the truck and
the boy in the parking lot of his elementary school,
so he got there. The boy had driven the truck
from his home to his elementary school in Kansas, which
is a suburb Maze, a suburb of which my favorite place,
which was roughly a three mile drive. He told officers

(05:04):
that he missed the bus and his dad was already working.
His mom was out of town, so he didn't want
to get in trouble, and he wanted to make it
to school on time, so he just borrowed the car
and drove there no collisions to traffic issues. Police officers
also didn't write any citations. They are sure he's in
tons of trouble with his parents, and they'll let the
parents determine how to handle it. A woman's three inch

(05:26):
mouth gape has officially broken a Guinness World record. Now
I had to look up exactly what that meant, but
it's how big she can make her mouth open. She
can make her mouth open three inches.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
It doesn't seem like a lot, is it a lot?

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Like this, so three of those.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
Her name is Marie Pearl Zelmer Robinson got a lot
of names. She says that she always knew she had
a large mouth, hadn't considered that it might be a
world record mouth until she saw a video of the
previous record holder, a woman named Samantha, whose mouth gape
was all Measley two point five six inches. In twenty
twenty one, her dentists measured her mouth at two point
nine to eight, earning her the title of the largest

(06:09):
mouth gape for a woman.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I like the word gape, right.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
I didn't even know what it was. And a dude.
This is trending stories today headlines. A man wearing a
pink thong, fake boobs and a wig was bumped outside
of Florida Applebee's. Yeah, I hope he listens to us
down there too. I certainly hope he's a part of
the thirteen. And what were you doing down there? When
did you have time to go to Florida? Were you

(06:37):
down a hanging out with our boy Jason? Is that
what you were doing?

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Yes, in the beaches? We were down there? Were down there?
Was he dressed the same way? Yeah? We met. Yeah,
I knew it. I knew it.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
A man in Florida apparently decided that he wanted to
be seen and heard.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
His name was Daniel. He is Daniel. He's still alive.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
He allegedly caused a disturbance outside of Clearwater Applebee's by
trying to enter someone else's car and stumbling around he
was memorable for wearing a pink thong, fake boobs, and
a wig. Police Unsine said that he couldn't even answer
basic questions like where he was, where he came from,
what state he was in. That's definitely Jason. He didn't
know what state he was in. No, he spent the

(07:16):
night in jail and paid some fines after pleading guilty.
But anyway, I didn't realize what your alter egos is, Daniel.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Huh? How about them?
