official show TikTok. Accept no imitation. There is no other No.
I will probably not DM you and ask you for money.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yet we are not there yet.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's possible that that time would come, but it would
come from Fred Show Radio if it does, just so
you know. But I guess this person's hitting people up
and then now I'm getting dms like, Hey, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I thought I was talking to you for a while.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Kiki.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Stop doing that to people and stop with your fake account.
Yeah right, this is how you decided to do it. Yes, yeah, Hey, Hi,
I'm Fred. I have a go Fundme page for myself. No,
don't believe it. It's not true. It is not true.
Only only associate with the sanctioned official platforms. Also on
YouTube now you can search for the Fred Show there,
(02:13):
Fred Show Radio, and on the iHeart app search for
the Fred Show and make us a preset. And a
new episode of the Tangent Our author Uncentered podcast is up.
Jason had to go to a meeting, so we talked
about lesbian terms without him. Oh no, I think we
did a good job. Okay, and I you know, you'd
have to listen to be the judge, all right, I will,
I hope. So, but I learned a lot. I learned
a lot, a lot of new terms I didn't know about.
(02:34):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's the Fred Show. Hey Pete, good morning, welcome to
the show. How are you?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So Pete, tell us what's going on with this woman Brinn?
How did you meet? We got to know about any
dates you've been on, any details you can give us,
and why you think she's ghosting you?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Okay, So we met. We were watching the playoffs. We're
at a bar, the playoffs we're on. I was watching
the game.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And she seemed pretty great. We hit it off.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
I got her number and we plan to go out
again not football oriented, and grab some drinks and dinner
a few nights later, and it was I don't know,
we just hit it off, like I don't know what happened,
because afterwards she just starts acting a little off and
she's not really in a rush to go out on
another date. And I thought we were connecting. I don't know,
(03:27):
we could talk about all these other things, and then
she just kind of ghosted, And I'm just I'm hoping
you guys can help me figure out why.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I do love a meeting in the wild situation. You know,
we don't hear about a lot of those. I feel
like all of these start on an app, which is
how everybody meets. I got that, But like the thing
about meeting in the wild is it sort of takes
away that is there going to be chemistry? Does the
person look the same We've obviously heard that one before.
They don't look the same as their pictures or whatever.
So there's a lot that you kind of can read
(03:55):
when you first meet somebody that you don't know when
you meet on the apps, which I think if that works,
then you're off to a better start.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But in this case, you're saying.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You did actually hang out separately, and now she's not
calling you exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Like it's we got to know each other. We were laughing,
like I think laughter's great. On a day you realize like,
oh I can connect with this person, and I just
I The silence afterwards is also like did I do something? Yeah,
I'm okay if I did, but I just want to
know what I was so I don't do it again.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, right, I get it, Pete, it's not a nice guy.
Let's call this woman Brin in just a second. Well,
place will come back. You'll be on the phone. I
don't want you to say anything right at first, but
at some point you're welcome to jump in on a call.
And the hope, as always is that we can straighten
this out and then set you up on another date
that we pay for.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Sound good, awesome, Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
The Friend Show we're on the radio live every morning,
live on the iHeart app each morning as well. I
catch up anytime. Search for a Fred Show on demand.
Make us a preset YouTube. You can watch this there
all day too, all day. Just watch all day. Why
wouldn't you would work school all day? Search for Fred
Show radio? Hey, Pete ye all right, welcome back. Let's
call it Brin. You actually met out in person, you
(05:06):
were watching football games, you got her number, You guys
went on a date. The date went well, but you've
been reaching out since the date trying to get a
hold of her to plan another one because you thought
there would be another one. Except she's not responding to you,
and you want to know why.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
That's exactly exactly it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
We're gonna call it Brinn right now. Good luck man? Hello,
Hi is this Brin? Hey Brian, good morning. My name
is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred Show, the morning
radio show, and I have to tell you that we
are on the radio right now and I do need
your permission to continue with the call.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Can which that for just a second, would you mind?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, thank you very much for calling on. Behalf of
a guy named Pete. I guess you guys met in
person and then went on a date recently.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Do you recall Pete?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I recall a Pete, but I wasn't a date.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, what do you mean? Because he we just talked
to this guy Pete. He says he met you at
a bar, you were watching football, and then he asked
you on a date and then he says, you went
on a date, and so now I.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Want to hang out, like you know, like dinner, drinks,
maybe watch another game or something sounds.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Like a date though, like dinner and drinks.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
It's possible.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Why because.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Because Pete's a guy and I've been a lesbian for
as long as I can remember.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh minor details.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
That is a twist in the story that I did
not see. Is Pete aware of your interests?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I mean, we didn't talk about that kind of thing.
I just I don't know, thought I was making a
new friend.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So this dude approaches you asked what he thought he
was doing was asking you out, And you're just like, no,
this is a nice man at a bar who wants
to buy me dinner.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And you're like, okay, I don't have.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
To disclose that I actually don't like what he has to.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Offer I offered. I mean, that's you're right by the way.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You don't you don't have to like qualify anything, Like
you know, someone can ask you to hang out, and
that doesn't mean that anything is happening. But I guess
that it would be safe to assume that if a
dude approaches you, he's a stranger. And wants to take
you to dinner. I don't know that it's unfair for
him to assume that was a date, right.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Well, that doesn't happened that often. I guess, okay, I
just thought we like, we're just cooking and yeah, that's
all okay, Well cool.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I mean that's that's honest and it's fair. I
got to bring Pete in, though I forgot to mention
that Pete is here with us. I get caught up
in a storm, so forgetful Pete turns out, so we
just learned a piece of information that would have been
vital to this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Turns out she doesn't like men.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Oh oh no.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I mean, am I the first to tell you that?
Maybe she does? Where you been? I mean we were
wearing the same shoes. Oh well in that case, okay,
you both wearing like Birkenstocks. Like what shoes?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
What was the giveaway there? I don't understand what kind
of shoes?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Were we both.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Wearing steel too? I guess, honestly, I don't. I don't
know that the footwear would have given it away. I
don't know, That's what I'm saying. No one gave me
the guide book on what lesbian shoes look like.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
We gotta look at her shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Gotten the look book on that yet, But what what
shoes were you wearing Britain that would have given it
all away?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We were definitely Nikeys from the men's section, girl, the
women in his room Nikes from the men's section.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
So I don't okay, Peter, are you okay over there,
because you're not saying much A little stunned, like, are
you o kick as?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh, it's just an honest mistake.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
It's I mean, it makes so much sense now, But
I can't believe I called this in and now everybody
gets to hear it.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh no, no worry about that. Is this is the
least sinister of all of them. Like we've heard a
lot of really bad stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Oh just say you have my number if you still
to hang out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Oh friends, Yeah, wait a minute, how about that?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Like I don't think that's ever happened before, where people
at the end of waiting on the phone wind up
being actual friends. Like she's not saying she doesn't like
you as a human, she just doesn't like your parts.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I yeah, I mean I might I might need some
time just so every time I see you I don't
think about how uh embarrassed I am.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Eventually, you didn't know, you didn't know your health stuff.
That's not your fault.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, hit me up.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
If you guys want to go out again, let me know.
We'll pay for that. You guys can go a little
friendly date. And uh, I'm sure that was embarrassing. You know,
I might have asked a few more questions like I
don't know who's your favorite w.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
NBA players, not the lesbian screening questions.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, we were trying to This would have avoided this situation.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Needs something, something needs to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Go to the next situation.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yes, I guess My point is I feel like Pete
may have missed some obvious clues.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
But he's a sweet man.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But Brin, hey, I think you've been very cool about this,
and Pete, I don't think you should be embarrassed. And
I think that I think if you guys choose to
go on again and be friends, which you should, let
us know and we'll pay for the date or not date.
We'll pay for the outing, the activity or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, oh my.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
God, I'm just suggesting things a friend do.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They're bros. They're bros. Why watching sports when they met
women who like men watch sports. I don't think that's
the giveaway.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'm just saying, you like sports, and you're very very
strang would say, very.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Very straight sports guys. Yes, I've seen her shoes. You guys,
thank you for being sports. Calin's Entertainment report He's on
the Bread Show.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
Justin Timberlake got into some sort of heated exchange with
some crew members at a recent concert over audio issues,
and yes, it was all on video. JT was performing
in England when he was seeing Look a Real TikTok
with a couple of members of his crew on stage.
He was about to perform Crime a River when the
sound suddenly cut out, and that's when the video picks up.
(11:43):
You see the crew members telling Justin something about timing,
which doesn't seem to sit well with him.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Some are ripping him in.
Speaker 10 (11:48):
The comments, with others saying that he has a right
to be upset about technical issues. And I don't often
defend Justin, but technical issues are very frustrating, as we
know around here. However, you cannot speak to your crew
in that sort of way. But I do understand him
getting frustrated.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I wouldn't want to make the people, Yeah, when you
look stupid when something happens technically. Yeah, maybe I should
take a little bit of my own advice, because I
just I just rip everybody not in here. I rip
all the antillary people when things don't work here, especially
when we did software updates during the show.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's usually what I have an issue with.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I mean, the middle of the night would be
a good time for even But you probably don't want
to make the people mad. The only people who can
fix it to mad, correct, because they could make you
look like big dumb if they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, so be nice to here.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
There is true here, but audio issues are very frustrating.
Moving on, Yeah, I'm in love with both of you.
You and guys are the best. If you heard the
rumors that Britney Spears is adopting a baby girl named
Lennon London Spears, those are not true. The rumors were
started by Brittany herself after she posted a video claiming
that she adopted a baby girl. Now, I try to
(12:57):
not do stories about her, but I'm just I'm just
spelling these rumors. I am now hearing that she was
just kidding because there's no record of an adoption of
even a pet, no less a human child, nor are
their plans to move to Italy. As she also mentioned
in the Club, I.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Want to start doing that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I want to start I'm going to start the rumors
about myself as opposed to the haters.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm going to start them say things.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Yeah, she's just trolling, guys, She's just kidding about.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That about adoption. That was just a silly girl.
Speaker 10 (13:30):
Sandra Vergara, cousin and adoptive sister of Modern Family Start
Sofia Vergara, is joining Selling Sunset as a new agent
at the Oppenheim Group.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Jason, have you seen this for season nine?
Speaker 10 (13:41):
She's a veteran actress, former ET host and her team
at Tonight and a luxury real estate pro and obviously
she's hot, because you have to be to.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Be hired there.
Speaker 10 (13:48):
Returning cast members include Krishelle, Emma, Chelsea, Nicole Brie, and
the very short Oppenheim Brothers. Season nine is in production
now in scheduled just stream later this year.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
They just keep pumping those out.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
And lastly, the dad of NFL stars a'm and Ra
and equamanias Saint Brown is going viral. After telling his
sons to avoid sleeping with white women in order to
quote breed better athletes, John Brown told his sons that
a man should consider physical traits of women because he
wants athletic grandchildren. He did the same, he says as
a former Mister Universe and Mister World in the early eighties,
(14:20):
he emphasized selective breeding, and he has for a long time,
AKA choosing partners based on traits he believed would produce
elite athletes. I always feel this way about you, Fred,
like if you do make love and produce someone, I
wanted to be another tall woman so we could get
either a w NBA player or an NBA player.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
By the way, I.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
Think a'man ra and Equimanius are the coolest names in
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
That's just a side note. No, they are cool names.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, for me, it's more like, do we care enough
about our physical appearance? I really care more about our
even the physical appearance. Do we care enough about our
health that we just don't want to die young?
Speaker 5 (14:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm just like that. We're just saying about but can
we also enjoy?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know? Can you can you competitively eat taco Bell
on the couch watch Netflix. Those are the kind of
I'm looking for. I'm looking for that balance between sure,
we could go around at a little flirty five, k
you know, if we wanted to, if we had to,
and we're gonna live to be at least seventy five,
you know, at least we're gonna try. But then also
(15:22):
we can crush some Taco Bell on the couch, maybe
a nice you know, Pete, that kind of thing, you know,
Like I'm just I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That kind of ballance. Hey, everybody has something that they're
looking for. Yeah, so here you go.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
By the way, if you missed any part of our show,
type The Fread Show on demand and set us as
a preset on the Free I Heard radio app.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun Fact.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Fred Fun so much, so much.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay, today's fact is it is a fast forward to
one of my favorite seasons, that is the fall. And
we're gonna talk about male reindeer today. So okay, you ready,
I drew you in, I sucked you in, Okay, Kiki.
Male reindeer shed their antlers in the winter, while females
(16:14):
typically retain theirs until giving birth In the spring. Therefore,
if Santa's reindeer are depicted with antlers in December, it's
a female.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Squad women in stem.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yes, this means that Santa Slay is indeed pulled by
a team of strong female reindeer.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
And this is according to science. We always got to
do the work.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
More.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Fread show next.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fred Show. Okay, like writing in our diaries,
except we say them aloud. We call them blogs. I'm
taking this one, dear blog. So, after my little venture
to South America to visit Saint tod ant In in Uruguay, Uruguay,
(17:05):
I have decided that I am going to start speaking Spanish.
I love it permanently for no right, it is my
first language.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I'm good. I'm going to do the whole show in Spanish,
starting right out. No.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So, for twelve years growing up in Arizona, I took
Spanish and because we had to, and I didn't take
it very seriously. And it's amazing what I remember, but
it's amazing what I don't by not practicing it. So
I've decided I'm going to take this seriously and I'm
going to figure out a way to speak Spanish, Jason,
you're on over eighteen hundred days of dua lipa.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yes, uh huh do a lingo?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I know it's called dou a lingo. You don't have
to text me. I'd say it on purpose, like that,
would you say that you're fluent? No, I'm not fluent.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
No, but I feel like I could make my way
round a conversation yeahs.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No no no no no.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So I'd like googled, like basically, how to learn to
speak Spanish as fast if you have it, like if
you're at an intermediate level, okay, And so many different
options came up, I mean literally everything from there's a
ninety episode series on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I forget what it's called.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't have it right in front of me, but
it's like you watch that and you no memorization, no
writing anything down. It's like, if you follow their methods,
supposedly like at the end of it, you are really good.
I don't know how that's possible. There's, of course, you know,
duelingo and babble. I saw that one a lot. People's
as simple as watching Destinos on YouTube, which is a
(18:43):
soap opera. I don't think that's gonna work. I can
see why watching videos of people speaking Spanish, if you
know a little bit of Spanish, might help because you
could sort of maybe deduce things from that.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, context clues.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And then of course everyone's like immersion, which is not
an option.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
An option. What do you mean the house that I
can't move to, Well, you're gonna move.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But get you some friends, go out to like restaurant that.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
First, Get me some friends, right, that's that's just a
hard stop where you go together.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You guys are gonna go any friends.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Would be great, but I guess that we're starting from scratch.
Spanish speaking friends would be awesome.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You pick yours up, You guys are gonna go to
I'll totally call your favorite spot.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I've seen it to Nico every day, all there, every
single day before.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I will know how to order and only speak Spanish
the whole time.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
I basically do that.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You'll be flowing off tacos alpus store, boom. At least
I can eat.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, you can't take my baby too.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
She can learn.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Everyone's learning.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, all of a sudden, a baby sitter out. She
can be my only friend. It's fine. We communicated by
it at the same level as somebody might have known
more Spanish than me at this point actually and a
half year old. No, but I'm serious, So if anyone
has any like thoughts about this, Yes, I realized I
could move to Mexico and and I would. Honestly, I
think I know enough that if I moved to Mexico
(20:03):
and took lessons, I think within six months or a year,
I'd be in pretty good shape.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm serious.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That's not an option because I do have a good foundation,
I just don't remember it. And also the tenses are
a little bit questionable, Like I can pretty much tell
you what's happening right now, what's happening right here. Do
not ask me what happened yesterday or what I planned
to tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I know.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And the other tricky thing is, and I don't mean
to be controversial with this, but the dialects are different.
My aunt speaks Argentine Uruguayan Spanish, yes, which has they
used a different vocabulary, not entirely different, but there are
words that, like my aunt, I would say something in
my aunt would be like, oh, we don't use that
word here, we use this. It's kind I'll be honest
(20:47):
with you. It's a little bit elitist. It's a little
bit elitist. It's like, oh, that's that's this kind of Spanish.
We speak this kind of Spanish, and then if you're here,
they'll say, oh, well that kind of Spanish is fancy.
And you know, I dated a Nicaraguan girl for a
while and when we went to Mexico together, like it
was almost like she was speaking like with the British
accent or something, because the person, you know, the person
(21:09):
extual step back was like, oh, your fancy.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, it's like proper, that's what you learn as well.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
So that's kind of the challenge is I speak Spanish
from Mexico primarily, and so but as far as I'm concerned,
that's that's valuable and then I could adjust, you know.
But and she has my my end after ten years
of living in South America, still has a tutor, and
she's like, well you can, you can use my tutor.
(21:35):
I need to get myself to a conversational level before
I think the tutor would be helpful. So I'm very
serious about this. I just I wanted I want to
be efficient and I want to do the right thing.
But you know, I don't think watching telenovellas is going
to do it. I don't necessarily think that it would
be appropriate for me to like go to class yet
(21:57):
or at all, because I think I don't know, and
I also don't think I would stick with that. So
I'm curious if anyone's done this before. I'm very sincere.
You know, did you use one of the apps? Did
it work? You know, Jason's been doing it for two
thousand days, and it's somehow that's not fluid, and that's
you know, I'm a little confused about that.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
But we only do it like five minutes a day
just to keep the streak, like I do one lesson.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You've you've been doing this for six years consecutive.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
I know, but you could do endless amounts of lessons
in a day like hours.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
No, No, I'm very good for fun, like there's no
endgame for me. I'm very proud of you for doing it,
But I have to tell you something, Jason. If I
spend every day for six years working on something.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Damn, but I'm not working towards fluid.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I know, I'm giving you. I'm giving you a hard time.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I don't know, And so I'm very serious about this,
and and I think I said that four or five times,
but I tend to not be very serious. But I'm
very sincere that this is something that I really want
to pursue, and I just want to do it the
right way. And so if anyone has done this successfully,
and again, moving somewhere would be perfect not an option,
(23:08):
at least not until January first, then it might be
an option. In the way things are going, I might
be moving somewhere else January first, so it's very possible.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Again, I do have it is that's like actual like
you're like learning learning, like it's like real.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
School, right, So if that's effective, then sure, I mean
I guess again, like you can hit me up on
social fred on air. But if that's the way to
do it, fine, If it's one of these apps, fine,
if it's if there's another method that you've used. I
see ads sometimes on TikTok is. Now it's part of
my I've been searching for it, so it pops up
and it's like, you know, I learned to speak Spanish
(23:48):
fluently in ninety days doing this thing, and it's like
if I don't know how that's possible. But if it is,
I do know enough that maybe something like that would work.
I don't know, so I'm actually asking for some help here,
and I would love your feedback on this.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I think it's awesome and I think too like it's
about confidence, is what I've been told a lot of
times because I'm so shy, because I'm like, I'm gonna
say this wrong, so I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Just keep quiet, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
But if you're willing to put yourself out there and
actually because you have to speak.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Otherwise, you're not going to learn.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's the thing too.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
We think we can retain it.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Okay, I could hear it all day, but until you
open your mouth that actually say sentences and say words,
you're really not going to learn how to speak and
communicate properly.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, what I'm saying, I'm fully willing to try. And
I've found in my experience, for the most part, with
Spanish in Mexico and other places I've traveled, people are
very willing to be patient. I did not find that
in Brazil, to be honest with you, like, and I'm
not knocking Brazil, but they were not patient with me
attempting to fumble through Portuguese, they weren't interested. And I've
been other places too where they're just not interested. France,
(24:45):
I noticed they don't. They prefer you just speaking English.
They would actually prefer that. Now, when I go someplace,
I try, because you know, I'm so paranoid about being
the six or five white dude that is like ultra
American and ignorant and doesn't try, and so I do try.
But I've noticed there are places where they're and I've
noticed in Mexico or when I speak to Spanish speakers,
they're often very willing to be patient. I've noticed, and
(25:08):
again this is not universal, but I have noticed in
other places they're a little bit less likely to work
with you and they just let's just get to it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
So anyway, open to suggestion.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
That lady on their plane must have been really fair,
because I know that that's why you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It was such Portuguese. Maybe like we don't even good
luck with that, right, there's no basis there's a point
for that. Yeah, girl, I can't make my mouth do
those things like I just immerse yourself in Portuguese

I guess there's an imposter me again, this time on TikTok.
(01:14):

you like to buy my laptop again? I am Fred
Show Radio on TikTok. I am Fred on air on
the others and the Fred Show TikTok. He is the
official show TikTok. Accept no imitation. There is no other No.
I will probably not DM you and ask you for money.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yet we are not there yet.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's possible that that time would come, but it would
come from Fred Show Radio if it does, just so
you know. But I guess this person's hitting people up
and then now I'm getting dms like, Hey, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I thought I was talking to you for a while.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Kiki.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Stop doing that to people and stop with your fake account.
Yeah right, this is how you decided to do it. Yes, yeah, Hey, Hi,
I'm Fred. I have a go Fundme page for myself. No,
don't believe it. It's not true. It is not true.
Only only associate with the sanctioned official platforms. Also on
YouTube now you can search for the Fred Show there,
(02:13):
Fred Show Radio, and on the iHeart app search for
the Fred Show and make us a preset. And a
new episode of the Tangent Our author Uncentered podcast is up.
Jason had to go to a meeting, so we talked
about lesbian terms without him. Oh no, I think we
did a good job. Okay, and I you know, you'd
have to listen to be the judge, all right, I will,
I hope. So, but I learned a lot. I learned
a lot, a lot of new terms I didn't know about.
(02:34):
I've ever been left waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
It's the Fred Show. Hey Pete, good morning, welcome to
the show. How are you?
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Hey, good morning.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I'm all right.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
So Pete, tell us what's going on with this woman Brinn?
How did you meet? We got to know about any
dates you've been on, any details you can give us,
and why you think she's ghosting you?
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Okay, So we met. We were watching the playoffs. We're
at a bar, the playoffs we're on. I was watching
the game.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
And she seemed pretty great. We hit it off.
Speaker 5 (03:04):
I got her number and we plan to go out
again not football oriented, and grab some drinks and dinner
a few nights later, and it was I don't know,
we just hit it off, like I don't know what happened,
because afterwards she just starts acting a little off and
she's not really in a rush to go out on
another date. And I thought we were connecting. I don't know,
(03:27):
we could talk about all these other things, and then
she just kind of ghosted, And I'm just I'm hoping
you guys can help me figure out why.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I do love a meeting in the wild situation. You know,
we don't hear about a lot of those. I feel
like all of these start on an app, which is
how everybody meets. I got that, But like the thing
about meeting in the wild is it sort of takes
away that is there going to be chemistry? Does the
person look the same We've obviously heard that one before.
They don't look the same as their pictures or whatever.
So there's a lot that you kind of can read
(03:55):
when you first meet somebody that you don't know when
you meet on the apps, which I think if that works,
then you're off to a better start.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But in this case, you're saying.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
You did actually hang out separately, and now she's not
calling you exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Like it's we got to know each other. We were laughing,
like I think laughter's great. On a day you realize like,
oh I can connect with this person, and I just
I The silence afterwards is also like did I do something? Yeah,
I'm okay if I did, but I just want to
know what I was so I don't do it again.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, right, I get it, Pete, it's not a nice guy.
Let's call this woman Brin in just a second. Well,
place will come back. You'll be on the phone. I
don't want you to say anything right at first, but
at some point you're welcome to jump in on a call.
And the hope, as always is that we can straighten
this out and then set you up on another date
that we pay for.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Sound good, awesome, Thank you, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (04:46):

catch up anytime. Search for a Fred Show on demand.
Make us a preset YouTube. You can watch this there
all day too, all day. Just watch all day. Why
wouldn't you would work school all day? Search for Fred
Show radio? Hey, Pete ye all right, welcome back. Let's
call it Brin. You actually met out in person, you
(05:06):
were watching football games, you got her number, You guys
went on a date. The date went well, but you've
been reaching out since the date trying to get a
hold of her to plan another one because you thought
there would be another one. Except she's not responding to you,
and you want to know why.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
That's exactly exactly it.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
We're gonna call it Brinn right now. Good luck man? Hello,
Hi is this Brin? Hey Brian, good morning. My name
is Fred. I'm calling from the Fred Show, the morning
radio show, and I have to tell you that we
are on the radio right now and I do need
your permission to continue with the call.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Can which that for just a second, would you mind?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, thank you very much for calling on. Behalf of
a guy named Pete. I guess you guys met in
person and then went on a date recently.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Do you recall Pete?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I recall a Pete, but I wasn't a date.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Well, what do you mean? Because he we just talked
to this guy Pete. He says he met you at
a bar, you were watching football, and then he asked
you on a date and then he says, you went
on a date, and so now I.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Want to hang out, like you know, like dinner, drinks,
maybe watch another game or something sounds.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Like a date though, like dinner and drinks.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
It's possible.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Why because.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Because Pete's a guy and I've been a lesbian for
as long as I can remember.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Oh minor details.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
That is a twist in the story that I did
not see. Is Pete aware of your interests?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
I mean, we didn't talk about that kind of thing.
I just I don't know, thought I was making a
new friend.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So this dude approaches you asked what he thought he
was doing was asking you out, And you're just like, no,
this is a nice man at a bar who wants
to buy me dinner.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
And you're like, okay, I don't have.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
To disclose that I actually don't like what he has to.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Offer I offered. I mean, that's you're right by the way.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
You don't you don't have to like qualify anything, Like
you know, someone can ask you to hang out, and
that doesn't mean that anything is happening. But I guess
that it would be safe to assume that if a
dude approaches you, he's a stranger. And wants to take
you to dinner. I don't know that it's unfair for
him to assume that was a date, right.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Well, that doesn't happened that often. I guess, okay, I
just thought we like, we're just cooking and yeah, that's
all okay, Well cool.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, I mean that's that's honest and it's fair. I
got to bring Pete in, though I forgot to mention
that Pete is here with us. I get caught up
in a storm, so forgetful Pete turns out, so we
just learned a piece of information that would have been
vital to this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Turns out she doesn't like men.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
Oh oh no.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I mean, am I the first to tell you that?
Maybe she does? Where you been? I mean we were
wearing the same shoes. Oh well in that case, okay,
you both wearing like Birkenstocks. Like what shoes?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
What was the giveaway there? I don't understand what kind
of shoes?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Were we both.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Wearing steel too? I guess, honestly, I don't. I don't
know that the footwear would have given it away. I
don't know, That's what I'm saying. No one gave me
the guide book on what lesbian shoes look like.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
We gotta look at her shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Gotten the look book on that yet, But what what
shoes were you wearing Britain that would have given it
all away?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
We were definitely Nikeys from the men's section, girl, the
women in his room Nikes from the men's section.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
So I don't okay, Peter, are you okay over there,
because you're not saying much A little stunned, like, are
you o kick as?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Oh, it's just an honest mistake.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
It's I mean, it makes so much sense now, But
I can't believe I called this in and now everybody
gets to hear it.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Oh no, no worry about that. Is this is the
least sinister of all of them. Like we've heard a
lot of really bad stuff.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Oh just say you have my number if you still
to hang out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Oh friends, Yeah, wait a minute, how about that?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Like I don't think that's ever happened before, where people
at the end of waiting on the phone wind up
being actual friends. Like she's not saying she doesn't like
you as a human, she just doesn't like your parts.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
I yeah, I mean I might I might need some
time just so every time I see you I don't
think about how uh embarrassed I am.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Eventually, you didn't know, you didn't know your health stuff.
That's not your fault.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Yeah, hit me up.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
If you guys want to go out again, let me know.
We'll pay for that. You guys can go a little
friendly date. And uh, I'm sure that was embarrassing. You know,
I might have asked a few more questions like I
don't know who's your favorite w.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
NBA players, not the lesbian screening questions.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Well, we were trying to This would have avoided this situation.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
Needs something, something needs to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Go to the next situation.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yes, I guess My point is I feel like Pete
may have missed some obvious clues.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
But he's a sweet man.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But Brin, hey, I think you've been very cool about this,
and Pete, I don't think you should be embarrassed. And
I think that I think if you guys choose to
go on again and be friends, which you should, let
us know and we'll pay for the date or not date.
We'll pay for the outing, the activity or whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, oh my.
Speaker 10 (10:51):
God, I'm just suggesting things a friend do.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They're bros. They're bros. Why watching sports when they met
women who like men watch sports. I don't think that's
the giveaway.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
I'm just saying, you like sports, and you're very very
strang would say, very.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Very straight sports guys. Yes, I've seen her shoes. You guys,
thank you for being sports. Calin's Entertainment report He's on
the Bread Show.
Speaker 10 (11:23):
Justin Timberlake got into some sort of heated exchange with
some crew members at a recent concert over audio issues,
and yes, it was all on video. JT was performing
in England when he was seeing Look a Real TikTok
with a couple of members of his crew on stage.
He was about to perform Crime a River when the
sound suddenly cut out, and that's when the video picks up.
(11:43):
You see the crew members telling Justin something about timing,
which doesn't seem to sit well with him.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Some are ripping him in.
Speaker 10 (11:48):
The comments, with others saying that he has a right
to be upset about technical issues. And I don't often
defend Justin, but technical issues are very frustrating, as we
know around here. However, you cannot speak to your crew
in that sort of way. But I do understand him
getting frustrated.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
I wouldn't want to make the people, Yeah, when you
look stupid when something happens technically. Yeah, maybe I should
take a little bit of my own advice, because I
just I just rip everybody not in here. I rip
all the antillary people when things don't work here, especially
when we did software updates during the show.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
That's usually what I have an issue with.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Yeah, I mean, the middle of the night would be
a good time for even But you probably don't want
to make the people mad. The only people who can
fix it to mad, correct, because they could make you
look like big dumb if they wanted to.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, so be nice to here.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
There is true here, but audio issues are very frustrating.
Moving on, Yeah, I'm in love with both of you.
You and guys are the best. If you heard the
rumors that Britney Spears is adopting a baby girl named
Lennon London Spears, those are not true. The rumors were
started by Brittany herself after she posted a video claiming
that she adopted a baby girl. Now, I try to
(12:57):
not do stories about her, but I'm just I'm just
spelling these rumors. I am now hearing that she was
just kidding because there's no record of an adoption of
even a pet, no less a human child, nor are
their plans to move to Italy. As she also mentioned
in the Club, I.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Want to start doing that.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
I want to start I'm going to start the rumors
about myself as opposed to the haters.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
I'm going to start them say things.
Speaker 9 (13:19):
Yeah, she's just trolling, guys, She's just kidding about.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That about adoption. That was just a silly girl.

Speaker 10 (14:00):
And lastly, the dad of NFL stars a'm and Ra
and equamanias Saint Brown is going viral. After telling his
sons to avoid sleeping with white women in order to
quote breed better athletes, John Brown told his sons that
a man should consider physical traits of women because he
wants athletic grandchildren. He did the same, he says as
a former Mister Universe and Mister World in the early eighties,
(14:20):
he emphasized selective breeding, and he has for a long time,
AKA choosing partners based on traits he believed would produce
elite athletes. I always feel this way about you, Fred,
like if you do make love and produce someone, I
wanted to be another tall woman so we could get
either a w NBA player or an NBA player.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
By the way, I.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
Think a'man ra and Equimanius are the coolest names in
the NFL.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
That's just a side note. No, they are cool names.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, for me, it's more like, do we care enough
about our physical appearance? I really care more about our
even the physical appearance. Do we care enough about our
health that we just don't want to die young?
Speaker 5 (14:56):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I'm just like that. We're just saying about but can
we also enjoy?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know? Can you can you competitively eat taco Bell
on the couch watch Netflix. Those are the kind of
I'm looking for. I'm looking for that balance between sure,
we could go around at a little flirty five, k
you know, if we wanted to, if we had to,
and we're gonna live to be at least seventy five,
you know, at least we're gonna try. But then also
(15:22):
we can crush some Taco Bell on the couch, maybe
a nice you know, Pete, that kind of thing, you know,
Like I'm just I'm looking for.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
That kind of ballance. Hey, everybody has something that they're
looking for. Yeah, so here you go.
Speaker 10 (15:34):
By the way, if you missed any part of our show,
type The Fread Show on demand and set us as
a preset on the Free I Heard radio app.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
The Fread Show is on Fread's Fun Fact.
Speaker 8 (15:43):
Fred Fun so much, so much.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay, today's fact is it is a fast forward to
one of my favorite seasons, that is the fall. And
we're gonna talk about male reindeer today. So okay, you ready,
I drew you in, I sucked you in, Okay, Kiki.
Male reindeer shed their antlers in the winter, while females
(16:14):
typically retain theirs until giving birth In the spring. Therefore,
if Santa's reindeer are depicted with antlers in December, it's
a female.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Squad women in stem.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yes, this means that Santa Slay is indeed pulled by
a team of strong female reindeer.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
And this is according to science. We always got to
do the work.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
More.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Fread show next.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fred Show. Okay, like writing in our diaries,
except we say them aloud. We call them blogs. I'm
taking this one, dear blog. So, after my little venture
to South America to visit Saint tod ant In in Uruguay, Uruguay,
(17:05):
I have decided that I am going to start speaking Spanish.
I love it permanently for no right, it is my
first language.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I'm good. I'm going to do the whole show in Spanish,
starting right out. No.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So, for twelve years growing up in Arizona, I took
Spanish and because we had to, and I didn't take
it very seriously. And it's amazing what I remember, but
it's amazing what I don't by not practicing it. So
I've decided I'm going to take this seriously and I'm
going to figure out a way to speak Spanish, Jason,
you're on over eighteen hundred days of dua lipa.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yes, uh huh do a lingo?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
I know it's called dou a lingo. You don't have
to text me. I'd say it on purpose, like that,
would you say that you're fluent? No, I'm not fluent.
Speaker 9 (17:53):
No, but I feel like I could make my way
round a conversation yeahs.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
No no no no no.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
So I'd like googled, like basically, how to learn to
speak Spanish as fast if you have it, like if
you're at an intermediate level, okay, And so many different
options came up, I mean literally everything from there's a
ninety episode series on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I forget what it's called.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't have it right in front of me, but
it's like you watch that and you no memorization, no
writing anything down. It's like, if you follow their methods,
supposedly like at the end of it, you are really good.
I don't know how that's possible. There's, of course, you know,
duelingo and babble. I saw that one a lot. People's
as simple as watching Destinos on YouTube, which is a
(18:43):
soap opera. I don't think that's gonna work. I can
see why watching videos of people speaking Spanish, if you
know a little bit of Spanish, might help because you
could sort of maybe deduce things from that.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, context clues.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
And then of course everyone's like immersion, which is not
an option.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
An option. What do you mean the house that I
can't move to, Well, you're gonna move.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
But get you some friends, go out to like restaurant that.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
First, Get me some friends, right, that's that's just a
hard stop where you go together.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
You guys are gonna go any friends.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Would be great, but I guess that we're starting from scratch.
Spanish speaking friends would be awesome.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You pick yours up, You guys are gonna go to
I'll totally call your favorite spot.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
I've seen it to Nico every day, all there, every
single day before.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
I will know how to order and only speak Spanish
the whole time.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
I basically do that.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
You'll be flowing off tacos alpus store, boom. At least
I can eat.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Okay, you can't take my baby too.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
She can learn.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Everyone's learning.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Yeah, all of a sudden, a baby sitter out. She
can be my only friend. It's fine. We communicated by
it at the same level as somebody might have known
more Spanish than me at this point actually and a
half year old. No, but I'm serious, So if anyone
has any like thoughts about this, Yes, I realized I
could move to Mexico and and I would. Honestly, I
think I know enough that if I moved to Mexico
(20:03):
and took lessons, I think within six months or a year,
I'd be in pretty good shape.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm serious.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
That's not an option because I do have a good foundation,
I just don't remember it. And also the tenses are
a little bit questionable, Like I can pretty much tell
you what's happening right now, what's happening right here. Do
not ask me what happened yesterday or what I planned
to tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
I know.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And the other tricky thing is, and I don't mean
to be controversial with this, but the dialects are different.
My aunt speaks Argentine Uruguayan Spanish, yes, which has they
used a different vocabulary, not entirely different, but there are
words that, like my aunt, I would say something in
my aunt would be like, oh, we don't use that
word here, we use this. It's kind I'll be honest
(20:47):
with you. It's a little bit elitist. It's a little
bit elitist. It's like, oh, that's that's this kind of Spanish.
We speak this kind of Spanish, and then if you're here,
they'll say, oh, well that kind of Spanish is fancy.
And you know, I dated a Nicaraguan girl for a
while and when we went to Mexico together, like it
was almost like she was speaking like with the British
accent or something, because the person, you know, the person
(21:09):
extual step back was like, oh, your fancy.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, it's like proper, that's what you learn as well.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
So that's kind of the challenge is I speak Spanish
from Mexico primarily, and so but as far as I'm concerned,
that's that's valuable and then I could adjust, you know.
But and she has my my end after ten years
of living in South America, still has a tutor, and
she's like, well you can, you can use my tutor.
(21:35):
I need to get myself to a conversational level before
I think the tutor would be helpful. So I'm very
serious about this. I just I wanted I want to
be efficient and I want to do the right thing.
But you know, I don't think watching telenovellas is going
to do it. I don't necessarily think that it would
be appropriate for me to like go to class yet
(21:57):
or at all, because I think I don't know, and
I also don't think I would stick with that. So
I'm curious if anyone's done this before. I'm very sincere.
You know, did you use one of the apps? Did
it work? You know, Jason's been doing it for two
thousand days, and it's somehow that's not fluid, and that's
you know, I'm a little confused about that.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
But we only do it like five minutes a day
just to keep the streak, like I do one lesson.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
You've you've been doing this for six years consecutive.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
I know, but you could do endless amounts of lessons
in a day like hours.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:29):
No, No, I'm very good for fun, like there's no
endgame for me. I'm very proud of you for doing it,
But I have to tell you something, Jason. If I
spend every day for six years working on something.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Damn, but I'm not working towards fluid.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
No.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I know, I'm giving you. I'm giving you a hard time.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
I don't know, And so I'm very serious about this,
and and I think I said that four or five times,
but I tend to not be very serious. But I'm
very sincere that this is something that I really want
to pursue, and I just want to do it the
right way. And so if anyone has done this successfully,
and again, moving somewhere would be perfect not an option,
(23:08):
at least not until January first, then it might be
an option. In the way things are going, I might
be moving somewhere else January first, so it's very possible.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Again, I do have it is that's like actual like
you're like learning learning, like it's like real.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
School, right, So if that's effective, then sure, I mean
I guess again, like you can hit me up on
social fred on air. But if that's the way to
do it, fine, If it's one of these apps, fine,
if it's if there's another method that you've used. I
see ads sometimes on TikTok is. Now it's part of
my I've been searching for it, so it pops up
and it's like, you know, I learned to speak Spanish
(23:48):
fluently in ninety days doing this thing, and it's like
if I don't know how that's possible. But if it is,
I do know enough that maybe something like that would work.
I don't know, so I'm actually asking for some help here,
and I would love your feedback on this.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
I think it's awesome and I think too like it's
about confidence, is what I've been told a lot of
times because I'm so shy, because I'm like, I'm gonna
say this wrong, so I'm gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Just keep quiet, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
But if you're willing to put yourself out there and
actually because you have to speak.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Otherwise, you're not going to learn.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
That's the thing too.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
We think we can retain it.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Okay, I could hear it all day, but until you
open your mouth that actually say sentences and say words,
you're really not going to learn how to speak and
communicate properly.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Yeah, what I'm saying, I'm fully willing to try. And
I've found in my experience, for the most part, with
Spanish in Mexico and other places I've traveled, people are
very willing to be patient. I did not find that
in Brazil, to be honest with you, like, and I'm
not knocking Brazil, but they were not patient with me
attempting to fumble through Portuguese, they weren't interested. And I've
been other places too where they're just not interested. France,
(24:45):
I noticed they don't. They prefer you just speaking English.
They would actually prefer that. Now, when I go someplace,
I try, because you know, I'm so paranoid about being
the six or five white dude that is like ultra
American and ignorant and doesn't try, and so I do try.
But I've noticed there are places where they're and I've
noticed in Mexico or when I speak to Spanish speakers,
they're often very willing to be patient. I've noticed, and
(25:08):
again this is not universal, but I have noticed in
other places they're a little bit less likely to work
with you and they just let's just get to it.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
So anyway, open to suggestion.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
That lady on their plane must have been really fair,
because I know that that's why you're doing it.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
It was such Portuguese. Maybe like we don't even good
luck with that, right, there's no basis there's a point
for that. Yeah, girl, I can't make my mouth do
those things like I just immerse yourself in Portuguese
