Speaker 1 (00:00):
They talk better than you tell me about. These are
the radio blogs on the Fred Show, like running in
our diaries, except we say them a loud. We call
them blogs. Kikiyeh you ready, dear blog.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So over the weekend I went to many events. I'm
actually over stimulated at this point. But one of the
most important events that I went to over the weekend
was my friend's wedding reception. So shout out to Eric
and Ishmael. They got married and they had a beautiful reception.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It was so fabulous, Like.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It was my first time going to like a city reception.
I'm usually at like a banquet hall. No, honey, they
had like this underground vibe and all these flowers and
it was just so it was so beautiful, and I
enjoyed myself while I was there, open bar, have to
do me mad, good food and you know, we were
there vibing. And then it was time to go. And
I've learned this from you, Fred. When it's time to
(00:52):
leave an event, just get out of them. Okay, Now
they were still around, they were taking photos. It was
other people that that I knew, But literally I plotted
on the door. I looked, I saw it was a
clear pathway. I grabbed my plus one and I was like,
let's go. So we got out of there, but my
plus one was shook. He was like, you're leaving. You
(01:13):
didn't tell them by you didn't You didn't say And
I'm like, well, you know, let's just sneak on out
of here because it's easier in my opinion. But I
was like, is it rude to leave a wedding reception
and not at least say bye to the groom and
groom or do you just, like you say, interrupt everybody
and make an announcement that I'm leaving.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
If you got a clear path, you know, and they're
not talking to other people, and like you you can say, hey,
you know, we're getting on out of here without like
disrupting anything, then so be it. But it usually doesn't
work that way. Normally, you know, the groom and the
groom in this case are busy, you know, socializing, having
a good time. They're not necessarily worried about who's coming
and going right, and so I feel like to go
(01:54):
over and be excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. I'm
getting on out of here. It's just sort of up
to flow. That's how I feel like you're not expected
to be there forever?
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Right, And who cares if you're leaving?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Like, don't I don't care if you leave, Like, if
you want to go, then I don't want you to, right,
That's what I'm saying. If you are ready to go,
then you are no longer contributing to this vibe and
you can go, and that's fine, thank you. I don't
expect you to be here for a long time. I'm
glad that you came at all. A long time, A
good job at the point. You know, I had other
friends there.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I met his grandmother, who I loved, and it's like,
if I go say by to him, then I gotta
say by the grandma, Then I gotta go say by
the other friends that I have there. Let's just start
sneaking out peacefully and leave people alone.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
A little party.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
How long were you there, It doesn't matter how long
were you there, It wasn't a long time.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
I would be so upsetting if you left a wedding
and you didn't say for the at least, I mean,
I'm paying for I'm paying for this party.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's on you.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
And kind of like how Fred left my wedding before.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Anything happened, talk about it, talk about let it go.
I did. I hate Toner. I was there for the speeches.
The owing I didn't stay it for is the dancing
in the donut wall? Well, did you forget about the
white castle? You missed white castle, so.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You let Rufio order them slider slider that you want.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Here's the thing. I hate the food. And that's the
most important part. Like if you if you counted on
me for a spot at the table that I was.
I attended for the spot at the table. I did
the thing. I did everything I was supposed to do. Now,
the food's not important.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
The most important part to me in a wedding, it's
actually partying with the wedding, the Brian groomer, whoever's getting married.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Oh okay, so I could dancing, Yeah, yeah, but you
know I don't dance. Well that's I mean. I did
with Janet over the you know last week, I was
involved with that choreography. But you know, unless it's like
more of an organ unless I'm getting paid, it's more
of like an organized production than I'm not much of
a dancer. No, but first of all, I'm not responsible
for how much you spent on your wedding. I'm only
responsible for if you spent money on me, which I
(03:55):
mean the plate of food. But I need to come
eat the plate of food like I needed, because that's rude.
But like otherwise, you you you spent a bunch of
you got David get to show up at your wedding
and you know, and I didn't stay for the whole thing,
like that's that's that's not my thing. Like that that
sets on you. And I also think that sometimes you're
making a bigger scene. That's how I feel. Yes, look
you showed up, they saw you, you celebrated, you brought
(04:17):
a gift.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm sure, well they got a registry that I gotta
go on. Like it's one of those you could pick
a thing off the thing and I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeahs separately, I never bring I get to a wedding. Yeah,
well I just meant a gift was given, which it wasn't.
Yeah yet, but it's coming. See. That's the other thing
is I always give a good gift ahead of time.
And I always give a good gift if I'm gonna
if I'm not going to attend, I always The r
s VP is followed by the gift, So at first
(04:45):
they see I gave him a good gift. Then I
tell I'm not coming, and that way they can't really
get too crappy with me, because it's like, because you
just got the alert that I put this much money
in your little honey fund and then I'm not coming,
So like, don't don't at me on this because I
already hooked you up, so like we're.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
That's a good point. So should people expect a gift
from people who are not coming to their wedding.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's nice to do. If you were, No, I didn't
know that I was supposed to be doing that.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, if you are, you're not making it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You don't know that. That's what I was wondering.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I'm like, no, that's a nice standard.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
It's nice to do. I can't. I think the least
I can do if I'm not going to go to
your wedding is at least send you some acknowledgement to
celebrate with you. Because I was on a list of
people that got invited, which not everybody was.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
I'm not going to expect it though, or you know,
my hope's high, whatever, But like, I think that's really
nice to do.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Did I do it. You do. It's going more than
you're asked of. Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I don't think it's necessary to If you say no,
I can't make your wedding to send them a gift.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I mean, if it's like a best friend, then obviously
there's not a gift. But I don't be there if
it was the best friend. So yeah, it's really nice
to do. I probably give it. Well, in this case,
I gave the same gift, but I was gonna say,
maybe the gift is nicer if I'm going, especially if
I'm taking a plus one, because I am taking into
consideration that money was spent. No, I don't. I don't
agree with the whole thing where it's like, if it's that,
I should assume it's one hundred and fifty dollars per person.
(06:05):
So my gift should be at this value. I know
I'm not. It is not my responsibility to pay for
myself to go to your wedding. If you want to
have a wedding with little subway sandwiches cut up, or
you want to have a wedding with more emotive, more
emoto back there making sushi rolls, that's up to you.
But I don't need to compensate you for my invitation
to your wedding. Spend what you can afford. I'll spend
(06:27):
what I can afford. That's the point of the wedding.
But I've heard so many times, well you better, you
better show up with at least two hundred dollars worth
of stuff because or you know, you better have contributed that,
because that's how much it costs for you to go.
So I didn't tell you how much to spend on
your wedding. I didn't say you had to have Ryan
Carrera come out there saying, you know, through way down
or whatever I said. I didn't say franky ja I
(06:48):
didn't say freaky Jaa. I had to be there for
twenty thousand dollars or whatever. That's on you. You chose
to do that. Yeah, I agree, I agree, But I
also think that it's usually cleaner to make sure you're
seen off your you know, congratulations or condolences or whatever
the event is, and then when it's time to go
see yourself out. Because the other problem is if you
make a big deal out of your leaving a lot
(07:09):
of times, then other people will be like, good time
for me, I guess I can go now too, And
now you're basically starting a trend of exit. I have
an exit. I hate it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
However, you guys want to justify it to yourself, right,
you have a miss feel about.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
It, like a nice text after had so much fun,
love you, congrats or the next morning even You don't
need to make it big. I don't need to make
a big deal out of the fact that I am leaving.
Oh guys, hey, everybody, I am leaving. Well a middle
ground where you can just ima who's coming with you.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm not getting on. The moral of the story is,
if you're listening right now, send an invitation to Fred.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
He's gonna say no, and he will send you will
get this guy, have a wedding queen. That seems to
be the general consensus on the text. You add Fred
to your wedding.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
List, maybe shower registered to I'm just saying thanks addressed.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
You know my name is Rufio. Oh, I will attend
your wedding. Send me an invite and he won't, and
then he won't send you again.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
