how to Tell Today in Chicago Land, So check on
old people in your life. Also, there are cooling stations
and we have a link to that on our various
socials thanks to the Salvation Army if you need it,
because it's going to be like you. I feel like
it's over one hundred today right in a lot of places,
(00:23):
including here. So be careful audio journalists, like we're writing
in our diaries Klein fake vacation in Klein.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Take it away, dear blog.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yes, so I somehow won a trip from work, which
you know if I if you've been listening for a
little while from a big gumball machine. And I was
able to take that trip. Just got back and yeah,
I went to Greece. We started in Athens. Saw all
the old stuff that you learn about in school, which
obviously made me emotional, because what doesn't make me emotional.
(00:54):
I got to eat like right next to the Acropolis,
which is where you know, the Parthenon and all that
stuff is so I mean, just thinking about the history
is nuts.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh yes, yeah, that's where I celebrate.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
As they said, you had a staycation checks out.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
I had a staycation in greatdown here, and then I
did two smaller Grecian islands. A lot of flights, but
it was amazing. I tried to take little highlight notes
for you guys. I said this earlier in the show.
But the start of the trip we were very tired.
Walked into my room to a big duchie in the toilet,
which was not the best start, but things went up
from there. The food is amazing and fresh, which is
(01:44):
why I was annoyingly posting it all.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I love food so much.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
My boyfriend actually got pissed at me because every night
he would fall asleep and I would eat all the
leftovers that we had from dinner, and.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Then he'd wake up wanting them and they'd be gone.
I'm like, oh, I didn't understand want of those.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
We hitchhiked one point, which is really crazy. A nice
woman picked us up off the side of the road
with her dog, Hector. We stayed in on one of
the islands in a literal medieval town.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It was crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I think it's one of the only inhabited medieval towns anywhere,
so it was like a legit castle. I was very
scared of the ghost, but it was cool. The people
are very direct, but they love us there, I okay.
One of the airlines we flew was a German airline
called Luftanza.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, sure, have you fown that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Why aren't we always like they need to bring that
over here?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Oh. European airlines are so much nicer than like really,
everyone gets free drinks and the food's better and the
service is better. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
All the flight attendants were happy.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
The wine was free.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Yeah, we pouring drinks out of a full ass bottle. Yes, yeah,
I noticed that too, like like the cart it's not
like the mini bottles, like they'll make you a drink,
Like they got a full bottle of Vaca. They're like,
sure you go. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
I think like a calzone at one point was the
best thing I've ever eaten. The seats reclined farther, but
they do gently tell you when everyone's eating to put
them up, which I think is really cool. In speaking
of Greece, there's cats everywhere. Everybody smokes siggs, Like everywhere
you sit down to eat, they give you an ashtray.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So I don't know how they have such a high Did.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You become I mean did you become a smoga when
you were there?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I dabbled in.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
I think I had two cigarettes because I wanted to
look like I was Grecian. Yeah I didn't, definitely because
I was coughing, because I haven't done that since my
my drunk days.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That was like when I went to school in England
and I everyone wrote like all the people that lived
there rolled their own cigarettes. Yeah, so I don't smoke.
But of course this was, of course twenty some years ago.
But there's me learning how to roll cigarettes. I'm like, oh, yeah,
you know, cigarette obviously a smoke, of course, a smoke break.
I don't smoke. I just wanted to fit in same
like an idiot, So I just, you know, it's cool.
(03:48):
Just took a few years off my life. But when
in Greece.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Red and grease, you smoke a sig and you play,
you put the stray cats, and you eat good food.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, dear, Well, what's the tipping policy out there?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Oh so so typically European countries don't want you to tip.
I did find that some people accepted our tips, and
then some there's not even a spot to leave a tip,
which was nice because the euro and the dollar are
pretty much a line right now. Things are cheaper there.
In terms of how my boyfriend and I traveled together.
I know people were worried. We were great together, which
(04:19):
I kind of expected, but I know a lot of
people were like, you really don't know someone to you.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well know, Michael, and you made a really good point earlier.
And I'm not trying to poop poo this, but you
did flew him out, like you paid for everything, like
the dude gets and well, but yeah you did, I mean, yes, yeah,
so this dude gets you. And then he also gets
a free trip to Greece, all expenses paid, So there
should be no problems.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
There were any problems.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
You should be doing everything you tell no. Yeah for
a while after too, there's a halo effect as well.
I took your ass to Grease. I wouldn't walllet. I
would be like, no, I didn't. I left my wallet
in the States. Yeah, but that's what you do anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I know.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He did pay for everything while we were there because
I took him, which was very sweet. He's great to
travel with and like we got home and now we
freaking live together.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
So I don't know that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He's not a place where the guys place to live,
so you give him a place to live too. It's like,
what the hell?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But he's a good cook, and he is already like
we already have like menus.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
He's cooking for me all the livelong day.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I'm getting lunch when I get home. So he's pulling
his weight. He's also cleaner than I am, so he's
you know, it's good. But yeah, the trip was great.
I'm really grateful I missed you guys. You know, I
keep hearing how well this guy can cook. He's never
once invited me to anything he does where he's cooking.
But you know, let's not remember, let's not forget rather
that you have some big brothers that he needs to appease. Yeah, well,
he's always actually asking me to invite you guys over
(05:42):
when he had a home.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So we'll take the leftover, but the leftovers and work
in the main. If he wants to cook lunch for
us too, that's fine. Just just remember that if things
go sideways, I take your aside every time.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well, I would hope, so in any situation, I mean,
wee's a really good cook, right, he can be bought.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
I expected that he was a cook he is he is, oh,
and a dutchman made me cry. So we did a
cooking class, and because it's so far, we were the
only Americans pretty much on this island.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
People were really like, whoa, how'd you get here?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
So I was really nervous because I'm not a good cook.
And they took volunteers to go up and the first
thing was SUZEKEI.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I'm like, how hard can that be?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
And this Dutch guy called out the way I was
stirring and was like, oh, is that the American way
of stirring?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
And everyone laughed.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And so when I got away from the table, I
didn't expect it, but I like started to cry and
like ran out. But then we were rolling something up
in grape leaves. They're called like del matte or something.
He couldn't do it at all, and so I got
my lick back. I was like, oh, is that the
Dutch way? And then and then my boyfriend said, yeah,
that's those are the ones we give to the cats,
and we did nucks and I got.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Him back, but nice, Oh, I love it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, I'm glad you had a good trip.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Thank you. Oh what time did you get to the airport?
When you left girl.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
We were talking before where you left. We were talking
about five hours four and a half hours early.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
He wanted to arrive right, so he pulled a little
fast one, but it was okay. So he forgot to
tell me which time his parents were picking us up,
which was very sweet to drive us to the airport.
He never communicated the time, so I was rushing the
last minute.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So we did leave at noon, which.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Was only one hour later than he wanted to leave,
earlier than I wanted to leave. You somehow forgot to
tell me when I needed to be ready, but we got.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
A free ride and it ended up being okay.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But yeah, not the eleven am that he wanted to
do because he's a nut JOm.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
I see, yeah, but okay. I'm glad you had a
good trip. Well glad you guys get long. Yeah, we're
happy for he earned it. You worked hard.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
When's the next one when you're gonna win again?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I don't think I am going on vacation for a
very long time, even with the free trip.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I have two dollars in my bank account and no
more days, so.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Text three to three one. I feel like Fred never
went to school in England.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Okay, wait, what that's a weird thing to call from
out for on Instagram today?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Flex on him?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, flex on it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You went to that really fancy way.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I went to Oxford, but that's only Oxford. That's okay,
I talk about my boy like that. Okay, because some
random texture says I didn't So I didn't.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Smoke a cigarette? Friend, Yeah, roll your own.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, I will say this. I will say this. There's
a there was a dude that worked at this school,
the University College of Oxford. I'll have you no if
you want to verify it. I only did a summer thing.
It wasn't I wasn't like, but uh, Chelsea Clinton did
go there, I'll have you know, but she like really went. Yeah,
I just went for a semester. But anyway, the dude,
(08:33):
there was a dude that worked there, like at the front.
He was like I guess he was. They called him
a porter. He was security whatever you been there forever.
And so he was rolling these cigarettes and it was like,
I'm not promoting smoking, by the way, I'm not, but
they were like flavored paper, which I think is illegal
in the States and always has been. This is twenty
some years ago, so he gave me one. I'm like,
this is incredible, Like this I felt great. I was like,
I love this. You know, I'm trying to like immerge.
(08:55):
I'm trying to be like everybody else. So I'm like,
how do you do all that? Where do you get
all this stuff? It's like, why do you go over
here and get the t I could go over here
and get the thing again, not promoting smoking. I was
very young, and so I did it and I rolled it.
I'm like, this isn't as good. It is good or whatever.
And I finally asked again, I'm like, why are yours better?
He's like, oh, well there's hash in mind. Oh, because
they have like a little tin of the tobacco and
(09:15):
then they have the little papers and they put it
together and whatever. I was interrupting you apparently too. So okay,
is this roast fred text? Or is this a dialogue?
Are we having a conversation or are we all giving speeches?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
