Speaker 1 (00:40):
Shop Yeah, they talks better than they sit. These are
the radio blogs on the Fread Show.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's the tangent our off air on Censor podcast. Okay,
like running in our diaries, except we say them aloud.
I'm taking this one, dear blog. I feel like I've
had a lot of free time lately. I don't know,
maybe it's the traveling or sitting on airplane or whatever
it is. But I've watched a lot of Netflix lately, Okay,
a lot, a lot, or maybe it's said like I've
been so busy, and then like the last couple of

(01:08):
weekends or last weekend at least, I did nothing, like
absolutely nothing. I know you was wonderful, just rot, just
enjoying my new couch that finally arrived.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
See this couch that you're gatekeeping from your right well
show us.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
I cannot remember a time that I've made a more
controversial decision and should purchase a couch without consulting many
people in my lives, in my life, but Untamed, I
watched that It was okay, It's number one on Netflix.
Though the Waterfront, I watched that season two is coming.
It was okay. Amy Bradley is missing about a woman

(01:43):
who went on a cruise ship and then was never
seen again.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
That one was interesting too.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
But the one that I keep coming back to, and
it's not a news show, but they get a lot
of seasons of it on Netflix called Alone, where they
put I don't know what it is, ten people or
eight people or something all over the world. They take
There've been a lot of seasons of this, and this
one was in somewhere in Australia.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think southern Australia.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
And they take these survivalists and they drop them in
a relatively similar area, like geographically the same, but far
enough away that they would never see each other or
know what's going on. And they just drop them there
and they see how long they can go before they
before they like don't want to do it anymore, and
then they call a number and they come pick them up.

(02:28):
And so it's got me thinking if I could do
it now. The alone part, like people start to break,
and some people break like in a day.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
And these are survivalists.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
These are people who like know how to do it,
but they don't exactly know where they're going to put them.
So some of them have, you know, a little bit
more advantage than others because they just randomly select, like
you know, some of them will have more dry ground
or better places to build their shelter. And they're allowed
to take a few things, but not a lot of things.
So they basically have to find their own food and
their own water, and they get to pick I think

(03:01):
it's ten things in addition of their clothes that they
can bring and they get to pick what those ten
things are. And I'm watching this season right now and
they're on like day forty, and I think it's coming
to the end. But people people who are fully like
they build these elaborate homes, not homes, but like shelters,
elaborate and they have everything going and they finally just break,

(03:25):
like they got food and everything, and they're like, I
can't do it anymore. I can't be alone anymore, Like
I gotta go home. I want to go home. Come
pick me up. And they call a number and they
come pick them up. But my thing is, I mean
some of the people they can't find enough food, Like
they're findings that they can't catch enough fish or whatever.
Last night, a lady in the middle of the night,
the one of the last two. I don't know who's
gonna win because I haven't gotten that for yet. She

(03:47):
went up to go to the bathroom. There was like
a wallaby. She tackled it with her own bare hands
and killed it and ate it. She killed it with
their own bare hands, like stumbled upon this thing and
was like food And she didn't physically. God, I hear something,
it's wild, but I just wonder how many of you,
Let's say you could find enough food to survive. Do

(04:07):
you believe that you could live with only yourself and
no other And they do come check on them occasionally,
like medically, but it's not like they don't give them anything.
There's not a lot of socialization. They have no idea
how many people are left, right Like, so the people
who've been out there is down to two and they've
been out there for like forty days, and they don't
know that they's only one other person because obviously that

(04:28):
would be an advantage if they knew that, you know,
they would just outlast and you get two hundred and
fifty grand at the end if you're the last person.
But you don't know that you're the last person until
they show up with your family on this middle of nowhere.
Do you think, though, assuming you could get come up
with enough food, do you think you could live forty
days and nights without talking to anyone, completely alone, no communication,

(04:52):
no TikTok oh no no, no, no, no, no internet, nothing.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Because it sounds like a dream until you say that part.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
But I mean I could do it because I live
alone and I spend most of my time alone. That
part wouldn't bother me. Being alone wouldn't bother me. I
guess I would feel disconnected, and that might bother me.
Like what am I missing?

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Like? Is everything? Okay? Like the rating sheets?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
You get? Well, I think if I were gone for
forty days that would be mean that the ratings don't
matter anymore? Well, I got I guess this company's finally
had enough of me.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, hey are you? I just wonder could you do it? Though?
Could you? Could you do it?

Speaker 3 (05:25):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
Not even forget about missing people? Like could you just
live with your o the voices in your head?

Speaker 1 (05:32):
A big talker of like oh yeah, I would love that. No,
I wouldn't. I would jump out wherever I can the
second day, like I could it last?

Speaker 2 (05:39):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Could you? Yeah? I could do it?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
You could?

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I could do it?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Now. The part I couldn't do is like the it
is like the barbaric stuff like I'm not tackling a
wall of bee with my bare hands to survive, like
I'm not. I'm not doing that, Like if there's no
door to ash, I'll probably die like I'm not. I'm
not even like fishing like I'm fish fine whatever, but
like you know, you got to eat all of the fish.
You don't know if you're like there are to catch

(06:02):
a fish for two weeks and they don't have any
food and they're you know, they're they're eating anything they
can find, basically, and I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Could you do it?

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yeah? I think I could. I think you could go
forty days without talking to anybody. Yeah, yeah, I think
that part I could do. Easy, you could do it. Yes,
I just need TikTok, like if I can scroll and
be entertained, I don't have no, no, no, but that defeats
the purpose. Oh well, that's people talking to you. No,
you've got to be out there, you and only you.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
No, you couldn't do it. It need some form of entertainment.
I don't have to talk. Could you do it? Kalin?
Absolutely not. It wouldn't even take me half a day
before I'm like, come rescue me. I get my energy
from other people, like I need it.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, I find that other people take my energy. So yeah,
because you're an right, So now that part I could
do again. It's just like this lady is like like,
I'm like, what should you just do?

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah? You don't want to hear what's going on? In
my thoughts, an do I okay, yeah, okay, so you
should address that. I okay.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
The only person who's answer surprised me is Jason. I
guess that's surprised. I guess the thought of you not
having any contact with anyone, considering you're the guy who, like,
when you stay in a hotel in the city and
your house is eight miles away, you get I.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Would definitely miss people, but I do think that, like
I would like get to know myself right.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Like.

Speaker 3 (07:30):
I'm never alone, Like I'm I've never been alone, so
like it's kind of great what that feels like, I
recommend it.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, I'd like come back better you would.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah, that would that part if you gave me food,
Like as long as somebody like door dashed me a
little boat or something, you know, brought me a little food.
Some as long as I might having to tackle wild
animals and kill them myself and then eat them, then
I would be fine.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
You can't read, you can't watch Netflix.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Fine, I'd be fine. Would totally be fine. Music totally
no problem, as long as there's taco bell
