Stories of the day in fun fact coming up, what
are you working on?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
K Well, if you are going to rob Kim Kardashian,
you probably we shouldn't write a book about how you
did that.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
That's not a smart idea.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
You might find yourself in trial after that.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Oh yeah, it's it's not advisable. No, first missake, probably
wouldn't do it. That story in about ten Ever.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
Been left waiting by the phone.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
It's the Fred Show. Christian, good morning, Welcome to the show.
Good morning, How are you very well? We call this
waiting by the phone, of course, trying to figure out
if you got ghosted? What happened? Why don't you explain
how you met Ellen and about any dates that you've
been on and what's happening right now?

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, of course. So I actually met Ellen on Bumble,
you know, the dating.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
App, and vaguely familiar with the Bumble. Yeah it's been
okay time or two? Yeah, okay, yeah, so you met
her there.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
So so I met around there after out to grab
drinks at one of the like this speakeasy nearby my plate,
and I love that it's got like a good atmosphere.
But they these wild cocktails and you know, you end
up having too and you end up getting pretty loaded.
So we were drunk by the end of the night,
and we walked back over to my place and you know,
get intimates. Do what's do an adults to I don't

(02:11):
know that's how explicit I can be with you, but
I think feel free to use your imagination.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Feel pretty over all, right, yeah, I think everybody knows
what you're talking about. So so that that.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Happened exactly, Yeah, so I just want to get that
out better. Right, So she wraps over and she, uh,
you know, she starts those to me. I thought we
had a good night, you know, And I stuck wondering
if she only hooked up with me because she was drunk.
And I would really hate for that to be the case,
because I actually liked her. I had a good time
with her. Conversation was easy flow, and she's very attractive,
and you know, I kind of felt this this romantic connection,

(02:43):
a bit of chemistry, and you know, if it wasn't
she didn't feel the same way, it wasn't reciprocated. It
was fine. I just you know, I want I don't
I want to know. I just don't want to get going.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I mean, sometimes male female whatever, Maybe I don't know
if it matters the gender. Sometimes when people drink too
much and then things happened, it's like, well, did I
I is this how I wanted things to start? Did
I give off the right impression. Some people have anxiety
where they you know, they're hungover and like, ah, I
can't believe I did that. I know that's happened to me.

(03:10):
So it's possible that she just kind of thought maybe
it was fun, but not necessarily the way she wanted
to start the relationship. But I suppose that's a conversation
you could have unless you wanted to just disappear, which
is maybe what she's doing.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
You're exactly right, I want to have that conversation. I
think at least let me know. You know, I'm man
enough to take that kind of rejection, but it's unusual
for me to not even get to follow up and
be like, hey, do you want to try this again?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Yeah? Yeah, Or you could look at it as wow,
we really hit it off. The chemistry was great, Like
why don't we keep going in this direction? So let
me call Ellen. You'll be on the phone. I want
to see if we can get her on the line
and ask some questions to figure out what's going on.
At some point, you're welcome to jump in on the
call and hopefully we can straighten this out and set
you guys up on another date that we pay for Okay,
So right, this is the.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Part where I get to be like sneaky and I
don't say anything.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Right right, right, because you've obviously heard this before, so
just follow my lead on this and let's see what happens. Yeah,
I'm gonna play one song. We'll come back and do it. Okay, cool,
Let's see what happens next. In part two of Waiting
metaphone after Sabrina Carpenter back in two minutes, It's the
Fred Show. Here's the frend Show on the radio, and
the iHeart app live and anytime starts to the Fred
Show on demand, make it's a preset. Please, Hey, Christian,

(04:17):
all right, let's call Ellen. You guys met on Bumble,
you went out, you thought there was a lot of chemistry,
had a great date. I wanted poking up. Except you've
reached out since that date, trying to set up date
number two, and she's not responding to you at all.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Exactly exactly. We had a good time. We had a
good time, and I'm looking forward to a day two.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
You just at least you want to know, you know
why she's not calling or if something happened or whatever.
So let's call her. Now, good luck, Christian hiasus Ellen, Yeah, Ellen, Hey,

(04:57):
good morning Fred from the Fred Show. The whole crew
is here. I have to tell you that we are
on the radio right now, and I would you you
did thank you? Woh my god. I don't know if
that's a compliment. I don't know if that was an
oh my guide, like I love the show, and notice
I just say thank you right away, like that's what
that meant.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
I do love the show.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Genuinely surprised. Okay, well then you know the rest of
the deal. So you're on waiting by the phone right now.
A guy him Christian, reached out to us so that
you guys met on bumble and went out. Do you
remember this guy? Yeah? You do? Okay, So he called us,
and if you listen to the show before, then you
know why he called. He wants to know why you
aren't calling him back. He described to us what he

(05:34):
thought was a very successful date. He did mention that
you guys got intimate, and it's like, why did all
that happen if you weren't interested? So what's your side
of the story.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Well, I would bet that he didn't actually tell you
the whole story. Yeah, we went up for drinks and
then we like had to sleep over, right, and I
don't know whatever, Like I would have hooked up with
him even if we hadn't had drinks because like I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Maybe weren't like because he was worried about that. He
was like, well, maybe it was. Maybe this whole thing
is because everybody had too much to drink and now
people are regretting things. But you're saying that's not the
reason you're not calling him.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, well, I mean, like I would have hooked up
with him either way, but because of the drinking, we
weren't like as safe as probably should have been.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Okay, we'll leave it at that, Okay, yep.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
And then in the morning he asked me if I
was on birth control and I was like no. So
we were like, okay, you know, we decided together we
should go get a plan B and I like need
to go buy it, and he just keeps like blowing
out my phone, demanding that I send him a video
of me opening the package and putting the coat in

(06:50):
my mouth and swallowing it to make sure you get it.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, I wasn't convinced exactly that you going to buy
it meant that you were going to utilize the product.
So he needed proof that you were going to.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Do it, and he needed like the date somewhere shown
in the video, completely insulting. He didn't trust me, and
he thinks that she's so great that I would like
want to have his dab. What is wrong?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
So you know the Christians here, Christian what's your side
of the story. I mean, it wasn't looking for you guys,
just to make that decision and to let you know,
let her say what she said she was going to do,
or do what she said she was going to do.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, no, no, no, I just kind of what I
wanted to cut you off because you're really like putting
all of all of my business out there. Okay, So
just like, oh and you when you.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Called the radio station, yeah, I mean what did you think?

Speaker 3 (07:38):
What?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
I mean, you knew you ding the story. You're on
the radio now. Of course she's gonna put your business
out But I didn't think that this.

Speaker 3 (07:44):
I didn't think that she would go on and we
were talking about the night before, not the morning after.
I didn't think anything that. I'm just asking you for
a little bit on the date at no, it's after
the date Ellen, and I just wanted to know if,
like you wanted to go out. But here you are
accusing me of like some sort of like phone harassment,

(08:06):
Like I just I don't know. I just I wanted
to call you to see if you want to go
out again. And the whole thing that happened like after
the date. Okay, well that's great, I guess.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay, so you guys don't know each other and this
all goes down, and I mean, you haven't developed any
form of trust. You don't probably even know each other's
last names or middle names or whatever. And that's okay.
Things happened, but it wasn't good enough Christian for you
and Ellen to just decide that you were going to
take this path to be extra safe.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Fact, I also was like, hell, yeah, we need to
get something done about this.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, but great, I also need to protect myself.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
So I just asking for a receipt.

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Listen to Ellen.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
All I'm saying is that I think my request is
well within my rights. I've told you that my family
has a lot of money and I have to go
to like extra lank. I don't want to be taken
advantage of.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
How does that come up on the day, I'm extremely rich.
I mean, once you do that, I can see why
you're paranoid now because you're telling everybody how rich you are.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
I'm not telling everybody. I'm not trying to procreate with
a douche like you.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Amen, Bret, you both made this decision, but you're out
here willing, really knowing that, feeling as though you could
be exposed at any time. But you're not taking any precaution.

Speaker 3 (09:23):
Not that night, no, which is why I'm trying to
do the next morning again, not part of the day.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
We're past the date.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
We're into the next phase of whatever this was going.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
To be, okay, And so for you, Ellen, that's.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
Too much in a word, yet.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Because of that and because of a lack of trust,
and you just thought the whole thing was not cool.
So you're never going to talk to him again. I mean,
the video was a little much, but I guess I
can see. I mean, can you guys see the paranoia
maybe that there was no follow up. I mean that's
kind of the decision that you make when you were
grown up and you put yourself in that position that
like you relinquished a little bit of power by not

(09:58):
being thoughtful.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah, the decision, though, I don't think he can demand that.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, I don't know about the video and the rest
of it.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
If you're doing too much, yeah, you know you made
the mistake and you're gonna have to just trust.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
But so did she. If you want to call it
in the control, I mean devil's advocate. You know, there's
no basis for him to believe what she's saying. So,
I mean, I'm not saying I agree with him.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
I think he really wants to be one hundred percent
sure that he doesn't have a baby, then he shouldn't
do that.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well, I agree, I agree with that. I agree with that.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
So it's not on him anymore, like it's not in
his control.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay. So basically, she didn't like the approach, thought it
was insensitive, thought it was uncool and Christian. There you go.
That's why she's not calling and there's not going to
be a second date.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah, obviously I can't. I didn't think I was being
insensitive at all, just just trying to. I don't know,
I'll get some bases of trust going. I don't know,
I don't know. It's her lost.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Okay, Well, there you go, Ellen, it's your loss. You
hear that.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
Whatever.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, guys, thank you for your time. Best elected both
of you. The Entertainment Report, Biggest Stories of the day
in Fundsack Call next Fred Show, Entertainment Report, and He's
on the Pread Show.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
Kim Kardashian's robbery trial is in full swing in Paris,
with The Morning focused on testimony from seventy one year
old suspect Eunice Abbas, who admitted that he has some
regrets about the October twenty sixteen heists, despite saying that
he felt zero guilt in the past. So during his testimony,
this dude, who has a criminal past filled with burglaries

(11:23):
and minor drug trafficking, said the media coverage over the
heist made him question his actions, explaining this time, I
do regret what I did.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
It opened my eyes.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
He also confirmed that he's aware that his actions negatively
impacted his family, but blamed his poor choices on quote
never having.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
A male role model as a child.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
His wife also said his affinity for crime is rooted
in growing up in poverty, but this is a huge
contrast from his stance just a couple of years ago, when,
during a twenty twenty two interview with Vice he said
he felt zero remorse because the Skims founder was quote
throwing money away, she deserved to be robbed. He was
arrested in twenty seventeen and spent twenty one months in prison,

(12:05):
and then in twenty twenty one he wrote a book
in French called quote, I Sequestered Kim Kardashian. He is
one of twelve suspects accused of kidnapping and armed robbery
or after Kim rather was held at gunpoint nine years
ago in France and was cleaned out of ten million dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Worth of jewelry.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
And they are calling these dudes grandpa robbers because of
their ages. Like I told you, this dude is seventy one,
which may explain why one of the twelve has already
passed away he did in March, and another is excuse
from trial as he is suffering from advanced dementia. So
the Grandpa robbers. Kim will take the stand on May thirteenth.
By the way, do you guys remember that snowplow machine

(12:44):
accident that Jeremy Runner was in a couple of years ago,
So he's it's crazy his recovery, but he's sharing new
details and it's even more terrifying than we thought. So
in his new memoir My Next Breath, he details everything
that came after getting crushed by a fourteen thousand pound snowplow.
In an excerpt from his book, he talks about what
he faced after saving his young nephew from the machine,

(13:06):
which is what he was doing, lying helpless after breaking
over thirty bones. He writes, after about thirty minutes on
the ice of breathing manually for so long, an effort
akin to doing ten or twenty push ups per minute
for a half hour, that's when I died. I died
right there on the driveway to my house. And he
feels really confident that he did die, saying a neighbor
saw him turn a gray green color before he closed

(13:28):
his eyes and his heart rate bottom down at eighteen.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
He says he.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Then felt a sense of euphoria and his life actually
flashed before him, writing, when I died, I felt energy,
and I was constantly connected, beautiful and fantastic energy. There
was no time, place, or space, and nothing to see
except a kind of electric two way vision made from
strands of that inconceivable energy. It sounds like he was
in the spaceship with Katie Perry. But it's almost like

(13:53):
a scene from a movie. He said. He then felt
a force telling him not to let go and brought
him back to life. And I mean, we've heard accounts
from people who have passed away for minutes or seconds,
and sounds pretty similar. So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
I guess we do a life review and phil euphoria.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
But he came back and he's recovered, and now he's
flirting with Jessica Simpson on Instagram. I don't know if
you guys have seen that, but they've been flirting back
and forth with each other. So very random. But heaven then, yay,
there you go, he's in heav.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Dams do come true.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yes, speaking of dreams, President Trump hosted the twenty twenty
five Super Bowl champs, the Philadelphia Eagles, at the White
House yesterday. Several players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, skip the celebration,
though they all said that there were scheduling conflicts that
was the reason for their absences. Okay, right, yeah, he
had to file his nails. I'm still Trump called him
a terrific guy, terrific player who turned one stellar performance

(14:42):
after another in helping the Eagles to a fourteen to
three regular season and a Super Bowl run. Saquon Barkley
actually visited Trump over the weekend early in New Jersey
and he caught a ride with Trump to Washington on
Air Force one and then to the White House on
Marine one. Saquon pushback also on social media criticism for

(15:03):
spending time with Trump, noting that he has golfed with
Barack Obama too, So he's a bipartisan hangar outer, is
what he's saying. So he's saying he respects the office.

You so much, all guys, and I want to thank
Caitlin for sending me this. But here's the headline. A
tortoise addicted to sex has single handedly saved his species
from extinction. So thank you, thank you. No, Caitlyn, I
appreciated this stood out as something that I should cover.
I needed to know more. No. Well, and his name

entire species. He got that thing on it. Your boy
