All thanks to Live Nation. The Fread Show is on
Fread's Fun Fact Fred's Fun I can lay so much guys.
Did you know that there is something called and I

(00:42):
don't even know how to say the scientific name, but
it is an immortal jellyfish. It is a remarkable creature
that can reverse its aging process like a Kardashian and
potentially live forever. When faced with stress or injury, the
jellyfish can revert to a juvenile stage, effectively resetting its
life cycle. The ability has earned the nickname the Benjamin

(01:04):
Button jellyfish due to its remarkable rejuvenation process. The jellyfish
can undergo this transformation multiple times, making it biologically immortal,
although it still can die from starvation or injury. Imagine
that is, whenever you feel like it, you're like, yeah,
I don't know, let's go back a little ways. You know,
I might do that. I don't know if I want

(01:26):
to go back, and hmmm, that's a very that's a
deeper question. Maybe for the tangent next week and when
I go back in time. Yeah, maybe if I knew
what I know now, But then would it still work
out the way that it should if I went back
and changed history, So you would change stuff, not necessarily
relive stuff. Well, if I if I knew what I

(01:48):
know now, I wonder if if I could go back
and everything happened the same way. But I could. But
but but certain things I could try again with new knowledge.
I might. I know that's complicated, Yeah it is. I would.
I would maybe relive stuff again, but I'd be scared
to mess with the future. Yeah, because like, okay, so
if you saw me, you can go back in time
you know what you know now and the end result

(02:08):
will be the same. Fine, But like I'm afraid if
I went back in time, even at the trajectory were
the same, and then I somewhere along the lines, you
do something, you do something and then it changed, you
know what I mean. Yeah, So the only way I
would do it is like simply for the opportunity to
experience it. And I'm mostly talking about romantic relationships, Like
i'd go back and like try it. I would make

(02:29):
a pass on the on the person, or I would
be more assertive, you know, like way back in the
day with certain people. Or maybe i'd say something to
certain people if I knew there was gonna be no repercussion,
you know what I mean, Like i'd say the thing
I didn't say, or i'd say the thing that I
thought of like an hour later. Yes, oh, I'm so
famous for that. And then I said and it's like,

(02:51):
but you never said that. I'm like no, but I
an hour later I came up with it would have
been so good all the time. Yeah, yes, that's my whole.
Like I have a playbook of what I I should
have could have said, and what I actually, like, what
came out of my mouth is very different because I'm
very grateful for like today, right, So I wouldn't necessarily
want to rewrite and be immortal, but I but if

(03:11):
I can have like snapshots back, yeah, I would do that.
I might. I might. I might do that, you know. Anyway,
there's an immortal Jellyfish more Fred show next right here,

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
