<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yesterday, we had some great calls on the week is

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Claim to Fame. One of our favorite ones was this

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 2>one about Fredo frogs.

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 3>My grandfather invented the Freda frog when he was fourteen.

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.319
<v Speaker 3>He worked at mac Robinson's and it was going to

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 3>be a mouse. Pop turned around and said, wow, the housewife.

0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 3>They're scared of mire, so why don't we make it

0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:25.319
<v Speaker 3>a frog? And his boss said, well, you make the

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>mold of the frog and we'll do it now.

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to look into the varidity of that.

<v Speaker 1>And the rest is history. The Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Christian, I also related to the guy that invented the

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Fredo frog. He was my grandmother's grandmother's uncle. Come on,

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>hate to see this. Yesterday we never heard from you.

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Now suddenly everyone wants to be related to the guy,

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the fourteen year old boy genius that invented.

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>The Fredo frog. Everyone wants to start. It's nasty to see, Christian.

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 2>I hate to bring this late to the table, but

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 2>yesterday I need to let you know this. I was

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>walking my daughter to daycare. It was raining, so I

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>have my umbrella. After dropping her off, the rain stopped.

0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>With the umbrella now closed, I proceeded to walk home

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 2>using the umbrella as a cane. I felt empowered. Plus,

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 2>he made the walk back up and steep hill a

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>lot easier pass. His husband needs to cane before his

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>fiftieth hashtag team walking cane.

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>You're right, it becomes the cave. He doesn't because then

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.679
<v Speaker 1>he goes to stick and then before I know it

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>will be on a zimmer frame again.

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:54.800
