All thanks to the Live Nation. The Fread Show is
on Fred's Biggest Stories of the Day. All right, guys,
good morning, Thanks for waking up with us on Wednesday.
Yesterday was the hottest day in over a decade. From

(00:44):
many parts of the East Coast, temperatures rose fifteen to
twenty degrees above normal, and multiple major cities along the
I ninety five corridor Sir saw hies at here above
one hundred degrees, brought on by a heat dome, which
is I don't like that kind of dome. The brutal
tempts claimed at least one life and sent dozens to
the hospital. The heat also disrupted train service, isn't cause

(01:06):
several roads in Wisconsin and Missouri to buckle yet again,
and the record breaking hot spell is going to continue.
A level of four of four extreme heat risk is
in place through at least Thursday from the Midwest to
the mid Atlantic and includes parts of the Northeast. Who
sent me a calendar invite? I got to candas call

(01:29):
naughty crafter Trish for a recap is what it says. Okay,
Oh I didn't just send that newes. We need to
do it. Yeah, it was a reminder. So Bella texted
her so At she's ready to spill it. She better
and not have cold feet about this. I've been waiting
to hear all about this. Uh wild crafting trip. Police

(01:50):
in France say that this is actually frightening. Fourteen people
have been arrested after one hundred and forty five people
reported being pricked, possibly by syringes, at a nation wid
music festival that happened on Saturday. Most of the victims
were women, and the attacks happened during France's annual Festival
of Music, which is a series of musical events in
towns and cities across the country that one hundred and

(02:13):
forty five people who were either pricked or believed that
they were were typically attacked when they were in a crowd,
and they were pricked either in the arm or the back.
Most of the victims didn't see the attacker. The victims
reported feeling an array of symptoms like hot flashes, dizziness,
loss of consciousness, and visible marks or bruises on their skin.

(02:33):
Some of the victims were treated by medics at the festival.
Some were taken to the hospital where they gave samples
to try and figure out what they were injected with.
It's not clear whether the substances have been detected with
those tests. They have arrested a bunch of people though
associated with this, but very scary. Yeah, if you think about,
you know, summer music festivals and how densely packed in

(02:54):
people get, and you know, somebody could do this and
you may not even know, you wouldn't know what it was,
and maybe you wouldn't even know who did it. Yeah,
I know many of you have been, you know, up
late wondering what's going on with Aaron Rodgers, if he's okay,
if he's really married or not. First of all, he
says that everyone talking about his life, you know, they're
all just pathetic, and that he is in fact married.

(03:15):
I guess he's very upset that people would would say
that there was some kind of a ruse because he's
wearing a wedding ring now and then when people were like, hey,
are you really married? And he was all offended by
that the question. I mean, I don't know. I mean
normally people normally people talk about being married or we
know who they're with or whatever. But this guy says
he's pretty sure that twenty twenty five will be his

(03:36):
final NFL season. So man's gonna be sad the end
of the end of the Aaron Rodgers era. What are
we gonna do? What are we going to talk about anything?
My toenails? We'll find something. Why you watch the NFL
anymore without Aaron Rodgers? I mean, honestly, I hope people
know him being facetious. Aaron Rodgers made the announcement during
an appearance in the Pat McAfee show. The four time
NFL MVP signed a one year deal with the Steelers.

(03:59):
He said, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is it. That's
why we just did a one year deal. The Steelers
didn't need to put any extra years or anything like that.
This was really about finishing with a lot of fun
and love and peace for the career I've had. So there.
Movie theater execs were surveyed, two hundred and fifty of
them and cinema owners and film professionals affiliated with exhibitors.

(04:21):
I guess some movie theaters. Basically found that more than
half believe that the traditional cinema experience will be dead
as a viable business within twenty years. So a world
without movie theaters. Oh no, I'm enjoying the NAEs. Yes,
it's like twenty percent off. Meet Hobby, gets to go,

(04:43):
get a little drink at the bar, get our popcorn,
get our slushy, and like it's a good time. Yeah.
Nearly ninety percent of US exhibition executives stated that their
revenue has not recovered to pre COVID levels. Seventy seven
percent believe that the day and date streaming releases have
a negative impact on the theatrical model. The survey doesn't

(05:04):
ask about the quality of the movies, but it's true.
I mean, you don't necessarily have to release in the
theater anymore to make a bunch of money, and certainly
not for people to go look at it, because now
you can go on Netflix or whatever other service and
watch stuff. It's not the same. Like we need to
we need to leave the charge. Let's let's hit up
Marcus and you know, imagine we gotta we gotta fix this. Yeah, yeah, okay,

(05:28):
I'm not letting. I'm not letting the movie theaters close.
You no, take the stores, whatever you want to do, Hey,
take the malls, but not the movie. It's not the
movie too. It's like the experience had a popcorn like
it never gets the same. You know, it's only movie
theater popcorn. It has its own taste. But there was
something about and there still is something about, like the
release is you know, it's Thursday night or Friday whenever

(05:49):
the movie came out, and you know you'd go and
get tickets and everybody else is excited to see it too,
and you're right all the you know, concessions and everything else.
And I don't know that that vibe isn't isn't there
very often anymore. I mean it was there for Top Gun.
I think it's sometimes there for you know, kids movies,
some of the mission impossible movies, but they may have
something to do with with the caliber, But I think
it has more to do with the fact that I

(06:11):
don't have to go anywhere to watch, you know, whatever
is I want to see. But that would be sad
if if movie theaters go away. Added to the things,
the list of things that we all experienced as joy
that kids these days won't experience. The other think is
old timy. I mean, I was talking. I wore my
Blockbuster shirt the other weekend when I was with you know,
my new my new uh my new wolf pack that

(06:31):
I hang out with now, you know, the guys from
the lake House, and we're always wearing the shirt and
when they're all a little bit older than me. But
we were talking about, you know, the excitement of Friday
night going into Blockbuster Video and you know whatever, you
could choose anything you wanted. You know, you could walk
in there and they had thousands of movies. You know.
Was it going to be a new release, was it
gonna be a drama, a comedy? Was like maybe a

(06:53):
video game? You know, but you walk out and like,
this is very exciting. I get to go home and
play you know, this game or whatever that choices were
endless and what's funny is now the choices are still endless,
but it's not nearly They're more endless than they were,
but it's not anywhere near as exciting as that experience was.
And I'm sure there are young people listening going, why
don't want to do that? But it was fun. Yeah,

(07:15):
you know, mom, so you can pick out two and
you oh my god, I can have anything in the store.
Very exciting, the latest health trend because you know, I'm
on the pulse of what's healthy and like running when
it's ninety three degrees outside, it's super healthy. You should
try it. It's called adult tummy time and it's exactly
what it sounds like, lying face down like a baby

(07:37):
to improve your posture. Experts say ten minutes a day
can help fight tech neck, which is the neck pain
and tightness from staring at screens for too long. This
is why it works. Lying on your stomach, stretches your chest,
opens your spine, engages muscles in your neck, back and core,
helping reverse the hunched over posture. Physical therapists back it.
It's a proven way to support posture and ease tensiony

(08:00):
so not for everybody. If you have spinal problems, recent surgeries.
Pregnant women should not do that. Try laying on your
stomach if you're like if you're super pregnant, it would
be like more like a like a like an upside
down you or yeah, it would be like a rope.
You're supposed to do that, but yeah, next stretches, yoga

(08:23):
poses and regular breaks from screen time will save your life.
It's National Take Back the Lunch Break Day. Let's go.
I missed those days. Take it back a lunch break. No,
not look at work, like at school, when you go
to the lunch room, you don't know what you're about
to eat, some kind of cheap food they're going to
give you today. Well, is the purpose of this day

(08:45):
to encourage people to actually take their lunch break because
some people in some offices are afraid to take that. Yes,
that is exactly what it's for. I stand for that too.
I don't know, man, like this place is weird and
next time. I've got a lot of comments this place.
But I'll tell you what, you know, I don't think
anyone's afraid to take their lunch break. Maybe they are
in the office, but that's one of the many things

(09:07):
that I could say. You know, if you take your
lunch break. I can't imagine working at a place where
I would be afraid, or like where you don't leave
until the boss leaves, which is most places, I think,
or that you don't want to be the first person
to leave, even if your work is done, so you
kind of just sit there and wait to be the
first person. But then before long it's seven o'clock at
night and no one's left yet we don't have that problem,

(09:29):
So there's that positivity. Captain positivity in twenty twenty five
very exciting,
