Speaker 1 (00:00):
Then yeah, they talk better than these are the radio
blogs on the Fred Show, like you're writing in our diaries,
except we say them aloud. We call them blogs. Klin, Yes,
are you ready?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Guess?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
So the floor is yours.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Thank you, dear blog.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
So if you listen every day, you may remember a
couple months ago we talked about this. But we have
a really big gumball machine in the office. And yes,
Jason was responsible in figuring out how that got up here.
Logistically it was a big song and dance. We have
a lot of office shenanigans.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But this one I'm okay with.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So basically, if you get nominated for I think it's
in ploy of the Quarter, which we do at staff meetings,
then you get this little coin to go in the
big gumball machine.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
I feel like you left. Did you leave that early?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
I saw you? And well, I could be happy with
other people's success, and I can because I'm never going
to win Employee of the Quarter. I'll never be nominated
it either. You just won't happen. Yeah, I'm shenanigans, I think,
I you know what. I'm nominated myself one time and
they didn't put me on the thing exactly I know
it's Shenanigans. No, I've not yet done that, but I've considered,
like writing from a Gmail account like Veronica over here.
(01:19):
My favorite coworker is Fredd. He's so kind anyway. But
you know, and so I did. I saw you win,
and I remember, for whatever reason, it was a time
when I think you needed to win and you gotta win.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yeah, yeah, Jason said, you know, after a rough couple
he was like, I think this is your year, and
I didn't believe him, and it certainly was. So I
won a trip along with a couple of other co workers.
We don't have to go together, but we all want
a trip to anywhere we wanted, which if you watch
the video, I almost like my heart literally almost stopped.
I was like, oh my god, I've never won anything,
and this is the best thing ever to win.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
So she picked the Boeing star Liner trip to the
space Station.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
I did.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
She's a little bit delayed. They got to get the
thing back. But once they get it back, I get stuck.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
So I have always wanted to go to Greece.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I don't know why.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It's been a dream trip of mine and I've never
really gotten to pick where I was going, I feel
like it's always for a wedding or whatever. So I
won this trip and super excited. I wanted to take
it next year, but you know the way things work
around here, I was a little nervous I might lose
the opportunity and it sounded like that maybe, so I
am taking it in August. At the end of August,
and at the time that I won, I was like, well,
(02:23):
who am I going to take? Because I had just
started talking to someone that you guys know, I am
now dating.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
And that's a lot, you know what I mean, that's.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
A lot, especially at the time, and I'm like, okay, well,
I would love to take my mom, but I want
to get crunk on this trip, and my mom.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Would be like, that's a lot of interesting.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I wanted to maybe take my sister, but you know,
I want to be able to have someone that I
can turn my brain off with or that will be
like an equal partner, and I have to mother my sister.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
And also she won't pay for anything, so you know,
so there's that.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
So I ended up waiting a little while mulling it over,
and I decided to ask my boyfriend if he wanted
to go I mean, I'm like, this is really crazy.
You can say no, because leaving the country this this
early in a relationship is pretty nuts. He said yes,
but he thought his passport was valid. He just needed
to find it. Turns out the passport was very expired.
(03:16):
I don't know how he even thought it works. And
I had been nagging him to send it in.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
It's gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Fine, So he finally expedited it and everyone's like, yeah,
mine took two weeks too. Whatever, it's been six weeks.
My man has no passport. And guess who's going to
Greece regardless, chick. So if any of you guys would
come with me, it might be that, because that's.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Big, an international trip within the first one three months.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I don't know how he would be able to answer that.
I don't know how many months.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Maybe well, he knows. I'm sure he knows a minute.
He may he knows the second. I'm sure he's crocheted
that into some form of a pillow that.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
He has memory than me.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
He's a sweet he's a sweet mass He's very sweet.
He's a very thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You guys are really cute together. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
It's hard to know because we were friends first and
everything kind of blended together. But yeah, so it's it's
a big step in itself.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
We do.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He's a little bit more type than me, so I
do know. There is a little bit different. We've done
two weekend road trips. My driving scares him, my lackadaisical
attitudes either. Right, Yeah, so it's a big test if
we get his passport. But I'm so grateful and excited
and I don't know, but we'll see.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
No, you're either going to come back like fully in love,
like one hundred percent head over heels, or you're going
to be like, I don't know if I can do
life with this guy.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's a lot of together time.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, it really is. Yeah, but he strikes me as
a guy that defers to you, like does he stand up,
like if you're mad about something, he like.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, damn all right.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I was gonna say, he said it sort of seems
like my who my sister married. He's a strong man,
except not with her because it's kind of just easier
sometimes to just do it her way.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
No, I think weirdly traditional in relationships.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I'd rather than man lead would would surprise a lot
of people because you lead in life all day.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Yeah, I'm exhausted. Yeah, so i'd rather have do stuff exactly.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Yeah, I'd love that too, So lead and then pay
my bills and everything I'm taking. I'd like to live
with Jason Brow. Just lets me in style. Just meet
somebody who has much nicer, blaze, more money. Just move
right in and never leave. I'm telling you go ahead.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Oh I was just sorry. That was I was just
gonna ask much. One of you has your passports?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Oh, I'm wax back. You get that. I know it's
going to be a free for all to see which
one of us is going with.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, that would be fun.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, meet you. I stay waxed back you
pass for ready, Yes I do.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
This could be fun.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Dear blood, I got scammed you, guys, and I think
I got scammed in a way that a lot of
you can relate to. There's a there's a major department
store that does an anniversary sale. I believe it's twice
a year, and every single time I fall for the
I fall for the trick, which is where you know
(06:05):
you get to go if you shop at this place
like a little bit, then that you can go and
look at stuff before, like I guess before everybody else
can I don't know. And then they put little tags
on everything because it's like this would normally be four
hundred dollars, but it's one ninety nine today.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Has it started?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Oh, it's been going. Oh, it's been going. It's it's
been done going. Yeah. And so my friend Anna, who
works there, calls me, says, you want to come look
at this stuff? And every time I go, I'll come look,
but I'm not falling for this. I'm not falling for this.
And then a bunch of money later I walk out
cause I because I can't not because look at the deals, right,
(06:41):
and it's always by the way, like the next season's
closed to so I don't even know what the hell
I like. By the time the season comes around, I'm
already buying for the next season after that, so I
don't even know what the hell. Yeah, but I'm looking
at this stuff and it's like, what an incredible deal.
But I don't need any of it. I don't need
any of it. Not one thing that I bought you
I actually need. But how can you pass up the deal?
(07:01):
It was half price? It was like if it was
four hundred dollars, and it was it was you know,
two thirty. You gotta how can you pass that opportunity?
You can't. And I find myself doing this all the time,
Like they get me on the website where it's only
one left. I'm like, oh, well, not right. I mean
that better, you know, I better do it. But I uh,
(07:22):
I fall for this crap because it's like, well what
an I would have bought this at full price, so
of course I'll buy it and a half price.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I want to see what you got.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh, I'm I'm ready. When it gets cold, I'm ready.
You know it's ninety five degrees outside right now, but yeah, yeah,
that's going to be rad but like yeah, but it's
it's like it's fake. It's a fan and I'm even
making fun of you know this place. They're all that way.
It's fake. This is more than one left. Show me
there's only one left. Somebody going the warehouse and let
(07:53):
me see live video you hold in the last one up?
Or like you know normally this price, but it's this price,
so how could you? How can you pass up that deal?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You did the right thing.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
In my opinion, you have to take advantage of the deal, honey.
But except for the fact I didn't need any of it.
What an incredible deal I got on something I didn't
even have to I didn't have to spend the money
to begin with. You might need it one day. The
best deal would have been for me not to attend
at all. But I fall for this crab. You did, right,
I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Is your kindly going to clean your closet? She said,
She said she was going to clean your closet everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I've got several friends that like, are dying to come in,
and but it's just it's just a love of stuff.
I think it's I think it's probably a good metaphor
for my life. Everything looks pretty well put together, but
then you, you know, get in the in the drawers
and the cabinets and the crevices, and it's it's not
it's a complete disaster.
Then yeah, they talk better than these are the radio
