Speaker 1 (00:39):
Eighth mat Yeah, they talk better than they say. Tell me.
These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show, like.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We're writing in our diaries, except we say them a lot.
We call them blogs. I'm taking this one. This is similar, Calen,
kinda to what you were saying earlier, dear blog, but
your birthday is coming up, and Paulina was asking you
and also out away this morning what you wanted for
your birthday?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And how did you do it? Again?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Explain you guys are coming up the elevator and Pauline
is so slick.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, me with this? And how did you say it
to her?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I looked at her right in the eye and I said, hey, girl,
what are you into these days?
Speaker 2 (01:16):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
What are you into these days?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
And that now, that could be interpreted a lot of
ways if somebody asked me, hey, for what are you
into these days? And it's the same thing I was
into yesterday? But I mean girls, But I mean, hey,
it could change the answer, could Jane?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know it could it?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Really?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Could? You never know? I mean I might run out
of women to date and then I may have to Hey,
that's how it works. But speaking of which, you.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Know you were saying that we're talking about your birthday
present and Paulina basically asking you what do you want
for your birthday? I wish as a grown up people
she was asking me. I know, I hate to break
it to you, but that's what she was getting at. Sorry, Pauline,
don't even love up your spot. It was so so
it wasn't obvious at all, but I do kind of
wish adults would just say, like this is what I want,
because it would just be easier. And I get that
(02:00):
it's lazy, but it's also like I'm guaranteed to get
you something that you actually want, as opposed to just
getting you something that's just going to collect dust. Because
as adults, we tend to we have things, we have
adult money, and we may not have a lot of things,
or we may have a lot of things, but it's
just I don't know what you need or want to
what you'd actually use, so just tell me.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So Like I feel like I'm a hypocrite too, because
I would rather you tell me that you want, you know,
these shoes or you want this jacket whatever. But when
it comes to me, I don't think I'm being lazy.
I feel like I'm being tacky and that's just my
own thing. Like I say that, like, oh, here you go, please.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's awkward me. I would agree.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
It is awkward also to say because you don't necessarily
know how much people intend to spend.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
That's what it is.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
It's like, OK, That's why I was like, is it
a group Like I don't want to like send something
to you guys and feel I feel goofy sending it.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Well, we did.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
I got the group text that you sent, and that
is a nice maserati that you sent us, but unfortunately
we won't be able. We don't have the funds currently
insufficient funds to be able to buy that for you.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Maybe so thing a little less.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Yeah, well I also got the porch that you sent
it a little less, but yeah, no, okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
We'll work on something though, like a vintage Bronco maybe. Yeah,
well sure, yeah, that's that's far more reasonable. Yeah we can,
we can probably do that.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Yeah. But I bring this up because when it comes
to dating, if you don't like when you're first meeting
someone and you know, if you meet on an app
or even if you meet in person and you you
don't really know somebody and you're planning a date, and
I just saw a TikTok about this about as a
guy and his wife. That dude tiktoks except he plays
(03:33):
her and she plays him fun and it's pretty funny.
It's you know me, I don't normally go for like
the cheesy stuff, but it's pretty funny because it's very
the way that guy portrays his wife is very relatable.
And this one scene I saw it was and he
wears like a he wears one of those one of
the fanny packs that women are wearing now, but they're
(03:54):
like crossbody. It's like, but it's a little fanny pets
glue Lemon sells him and he's always hold he's got
when he's doing her it's that and he's holding a
Stanley and walking around like them.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
But it's like, I think we should go on a
date night.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
And then she's him and he's like, okay, you know
what if we do and I want you to plan
it and he's like, okay, well then I think we
should do this and this and this, and she goes yeah,
but there's this place down the street, and by the
end of it, she's planned the date. So my thing
is as someone trying to plan dates. When I go
on them, I find myself basically just going what do
(04:28):
you want to do? Because people will complain or in general,
not people that I'm going out with, but in general
I hear people complain, well, guys don't plan date. It's
like meet me here for a drink and that's lazy,
or let's go for a walk that's free, like.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I don't want to do that. I don't know you,
I don't want to commit to that.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
But then I've found sometimes I'll be like, great, this
place this time, and then the person's like, no, I
don't want to do that, I want to do this. Well,
then why don't you just It comes back to the
same thing, why don't you just tell me? You know,
Like I can't tell you how many times it would be.
It'll be like, well, why don't we go to this
restauran at this time? And it's no, I want to
go to this place. Well, it's because it's a block
from your house, Like you don't you just want you
(05:06):
You're just being like you just want something convenient for you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
But it's like that's a bed luck.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Ninety percent of the time when I suggest something, it
winds up being I don't really want to do that,
but what if we go here instead? And I don't
really care, but it defeats the purpose of me trying
to plan anything. Now, once I get to know you
pretty well, like if I'm married to you, I would
hope that I know you well enough to know how
to plan a date night and you might still tell
me that I'm wrong and do something different, but at
(05:33):
least I made the effort based on what I know
about you. But when you first meet somebody, how do
you plan a date that somebody wants to go on
without any input from them? Because I feel lazy, But
I'm often like, where do you want to go?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Just tell me?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
And then the person's like, well, why don't you pick?
And it's like, oh, there's so many variables, what time,
what location, and I get a first or second date.
I'm more than happy to for the most part, if
you're being cool about it, I'm happy to make it
convenient for you right now. If you're kind of like
bitchy about it, then I you know, like, no, I
don't want that. I don't want to have to leave
(06:08):
my name. Like I've had people fight out say I
don't want to have to leave my neighborhood for this. Yeah,
but I'm sort of I'm like, it's not like a
middle point, it's not worth a middle point middle point.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
But you're not willing to do anything?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yes, you know like, I'm I'm going to plan the date,
I'm going to pay for the date, I'm going to
make the reservation I've suggested a place.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It's gonna be a lot of fun. I've been there.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I like it, you'll like it. I thought about, you
know whatever, and you just don't want to have to
go very far. Well that's that, honestly to your point earlier,
like a few seconds ago, that's a turn off to me.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
You won't even meet me halfway.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Halfway is not like bad, I'm not going to Miwaukee
to meet you, but also like a first day, why
don't you come to me in a way?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
And I will do that unless I get a certain
kind of response. Okay, then I'm sort of like turned
off by it. I'm like, oh, well, I was already
going to try and work with you here, but then
now you're like you won't even like you're not gonna
leave your block, like I'm gonna I have to sit
in an hour in traffic because you don't want to leave,
like you want to go to a restaurant in your building,
Like come on, like work with me a little bit.
But anyway, that point is I digress. Do you when
(07:11):
you're first meeting someone, do you just want us to
ask you, like where do you want to go?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
What do you want to do?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
And if we do, can you understand why and then
not go, Oh, he's lazy, he's not planning it. Here's
a very good chance you're going to reroot us anyway.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yeah, the girlies are going to come from me, But
I'd rather you just ask me where I want to
go or what kind of food do I like kind
of thing, and we'll.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Figure it out from there.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Because here's the thing, like I I don't want to Like,
you can plan the date, but I'm probably not gonna
like it because I'm so simple and that's my own thing.
I'd rather go, you know this, to Hooters or Peppies
or whatever. I'd rather go to like a spot like that.
Then you know, go to like the five stars, five star,
four star steakhouse, like I'm not.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I don't want to get dressed up and do that.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Like when have and I met pandemic times, Yes, but
we talked about wings and how much we love them
and all these things that I was like, Hey, have
you been to Danny's Pizza? I guess? And I love
Danny's pizza And He's like, actually haven't. It's in their neighborhood.
Guess where we went. Then next time Danny's Pizza.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It was organic was a little take. Yeah, I kind
of flowed. You know, you're gonna be confused now with
my answer. Okay, what's your answer? You're gonna be confused.
So I personally, and this is maybe just a personal thing.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
I feel like I make decisions all day long, like
I'm a strong woman, you know I'm doing I sometimes
don't want to have to make that decision, but I
will say I will eat anywhere, and I can always
find something, even a steakhouse, and I don't eat beef.
So I would love for you to go, uh, do
you want to go? Do you want to go to
the sushi spot at six? And then if I have
an issue at the time or don't eat sushi, then
(08:32):
I feel like a woman can say, but I would
rather you go, hey, do you want to go here?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And then at least put it out there.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
But you're asking, you know, okay, like you want to
go get Italian at seven or whatever. I would like that,
But I'm also not going to be mad if you're like,
what kind of food you like? Let's figure it out together.
I mean, it's a good man is a good man,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, then this is what I would say, based on
the vastly different answers. I would say this, and I'll
preface it by saying, and I've said this a thousand
times over the years, it is much harder to be
a woman, in my opinion, than a man. There is
no plight of the man in my opinion. I'm not
saying that, but what I will say is this. If
you're a woman who is constantly saying to your friends,
(09:13):
men don't approach me, or men don't plan dates, or
men it's the same script, then I would just ask
that when a guy does plan a date, maybe be
unless you're really offended by or can't eat whatever it is,
or really really have an objection for some reason, then
maybe just go with it, because I can tell you
(09:34):
guys will just learn to not plan dates after being
told every day they plan is not the date you
want to go on, and or every time you know
it takes a few times for a guy to walk
up and a girl to be and be respectful and
kind and appropriate and to be blown off or laughed
at or made fun of or whatever. And I'm just
speaking for all of mankind before they're not going to
do it anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
I think we as women very much need to if
we're letting someone down, do it kindly.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
If we, you know, have criticism, Like I think it takes.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
A lot to approach you, to hit on you, And
I think we need to be to good men who
are approaching us with good faith, be kind, be kind.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
And I don't know, and there's no way to know
because they're probably people listening nuggle. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
If he's a good guy, if he's respectful in his approach,
that's me. Yeah, right exactly, like if he's not to
creep or weird. And then by the way, once we
get the if we get a know, we walk away.
We're done. No no, why you're not that hot anyway
or no stupid comment, Yes you're hot anyway, because I
walked up to you to begin with. I see guys
fumble this all the time, and I'm like, you're Bron's
(10:39):
shoot your shot in the d MS in person, whatever
gonna do. And then if you get a yes, so
you get a no, then we're done.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
We're done. I agree, we're done, but I guess I
would ask on the other side.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
You know, it's if you want people to do that,
then you're probably going to get people that you don't want,
you're not interested in it.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You gotta nice to them so the people who do
will do the thing where going
