Have you watched a video yet of my favorite guy?
A sharp transition though, the for me guy who does
all the food reviews in Texas.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
That I was telling you about. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I watched your video that you sent me on the
plane flying into the hurricane yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Those people are nuts.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I want to do that because I love weather and
I want to see the inside of the hurricane.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You don't want to sleep forty five minutes away from
your house, but you'll go into an airplane that flies
through a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes, Like, this doesn't make any sense to me. I
want to see it, but you did see it in
the video.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I don't need you flying through a hurricane, Like I
don't need them to take that at risk. Ye, But yeah,
these people are nuts, like there is a hurricane that
looks let's go right through it. Let's just fly right
into it. Yeah, I am, I don't know me and
Tim Skilling on the plane. Okay, well that's I think
that's what you really want, is Tom Skilling to be there.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But morning everyone, it's the Friend Show.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No. My guy. He's in Houston. He's this older gentleman
and he goes to different restaurants. He's just his white
tech textan. I think I think he's in Texan, and
he goes to any kind of like different culture and
he kind of Etthiopiu and I think I saw the
other day and Vietnamese whatever. He goes just to anywhere
that people tell him to go to try it. And
he sits down and he's just like, hey, I don't
know anything about anything, like teach me and show me,
(01:37):
like order me, you know, order for me whatever I
should eat. And then at the end he tells you
whether it's for him or not. So he'll go for
me or not for me. But he'll never like bash
the place. He'll just say like I liked it or
I didn't like it, because it's you know, he'll but whatever.
He'll go into a place and eat goat. He's like,
all right here, great goat sounds good. He just whatever
would be like a local thing. So yeah, you should
(02:00):
check him out.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Good. It's very inspiring. People are like, if more people
were like this.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Then maybe we wouldn't have so many problems in this country.
People were open minded and wanted to learn about each
other and listened and whatever else. Yeah, so maybe he's
starting a movement. Maybe this guy for president, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Also like that if he doesn't like it, he doesn't,
like you said, doesn't bash it, like everyone's allowed to
not like something, but then you don't have to like
say it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Sucks right right, and he gets he doesn't. He pays
for everything. He won't take anything for free. Oh I
like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The other guy I.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Love is the guy in New York, the cab driver,
the uber driver. He calls himself a cab driver. I
think he's an uber driver. But he goes to Michelin
Star restaurants like for lunch. He just shows it, like
he just walks in and now they know him. In
all these places because the people that work there watch
the videos. But he doesn't have a ton of money,
I don't think, but he has enough. But he'll go
spend four hundred bucks on lunch and he'll just go
to a Michelin star restaurant one guy and he'll be like, hey,
(02:49):
do you have a table for one? Sometimes they're like okay,
or like at the bar, but now they know him,
so now when he shows up, he gets treated like
royalty because you know, hundreds of thousands of people are
watching these videos, and so you know, the better they
treat him, the better. Like the chef Daniel Bleud came out,
Oh hey to meet. It's just a cavitre. It's like
a normal guy like the rest of us. But he
gets treated like, you know, here's the caviare upgrade and
(03:09):
the rest of it because they because the servers all
are on TikTok and they watch the videos because they
are also normal people working at rich people restaurants.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I like that guy too. I can't remember his name.
Does he share the bill at the end? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And he pays and they try it. They like he
wouldn't do Jay Balvin's restaurant. And then jay Balvin happened
to be there. It just happened to me, which which
that seemed wild to me, except these videos are not
like high production value. He's just a normal person, like
making just whatever normal So I don't know that he
set it up exactly, but I don't know. So Jay
Alvin sits down with him, and then Jay Balvin's like
(03:41):
free dinner, and he's like, no, I have to pay
because that's part of the deal. Like I can't give
an honest review if I'm not. But I think he's
making money on the views.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
He's going to say, you can take something for free.
My dude, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I guess his thing is if if this place gives
me free food and this place doesn't, then you know,
are my reviews going to be skewed by that? I mean,
he's getting millions of views. I got to think it's
paying for itself at least, But I don't know. I'm
always surprised at how little people actually make on social media,
Like you got four gazillion views on that and I
checked for seventeen dollars.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Which one is the best? Is it YouTube? Or is
it is?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
What everyone is saying is yes, I'm going back.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
It's like a new thing. But I'm like, do I
really I post? Jason told me that I.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Posted one Snapchat story and I was not a millionaire yet,
and I.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Was like, this is be uh no, You're supposed to
like do a high frequency and then no one.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Paid me anything for anything.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I think I have ten cents in my creator account,
which is exciting. You know.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I think I might use it on a Michelin star meal.
Yeah you should. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I have Snapchat for one reason and one reason only,
and I need to get rid of it because I
don't think that reason is happening anymore. So it's fine.
I have no business on Snapchat. I don't need to
be on there. It's dire for people like like fifteen
years old, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
No, it's like turning a corner like me, because like
turning a now that everyone knows that you can make
money off at like all influencers and celebrities and everyone
is on Snapchat because they're trying to get that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, well maybe maybe I'll re engage. I don't know
how much money are we talking about here. It is Thursday,
October thirty at The Fred Show is on Hi, Kalem, Hello,
welcome back, Hello Jason, Hi, Paulina, Pikey's back tomorrow, and
then all's well in the world. She open Shelley will

Speaker 4 (05:32):

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yes, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Bell Mean's here on the phone in the text eight
five five five nine one one three five. We'll get
to the Entertainment Report a little bit. Blogs this hour,
biggest stories of the day, the throwback, throw Down today,
waiting by the phone, lots of stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
What are you working on?
Speaker 5 (05:47):
K Katie Perry getting kind of annihilated for throwing your
own birthday cake.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Also, we have a rap shortage, and I need to
put a call out.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We have a rap shortage, rap music shortage. Idea, we
got to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I had no idea. Yeah, someone texted no air traffic controllers.
So yeah, let's drive right through the hurricane. Yeah, these
guys meant to do it. But yeah, yeah, normally we
would have air traffic controllers to say, yeah, I think
I would take a ride around that.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I may not go. I may not with that that
thing with the whole in the middle. You know, you don't.
We don't want it, we don't need it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
No, but these people drive, they drive through it, they
fly through it on purpose in a government and I
hope they're getting paid. I don't know if maybe they're
not getting paid, but I guess.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Isn't it for like do they do? Obviously it's for
like research.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think they're they're trying to like get the winds
and other things when they fly through it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Purchasers down here like in Twister. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't think they're just like check this out, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Like.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We we sent our least valuable people up there to
see if they come back.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like, No, I don't think that's how it is. Because
the American Airlines jet right, see how far right? Like, guys,
what's this volunteer?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
This is wild wild?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Someone said YouTube long form video paced the best.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh yeah, so they've been the highest pair for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I feel like, well, how long forms? I got hard though?
Too long for do you.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Want a vlog?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No, that's what I'm talking about. Thirty is sixty seconds tops.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
There's travel vlogs would would be good on YouTube, I
feel like.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I guess, but I feel like solo travel vlogs would
require me to travel with someone else to document the
solo travel, which then is no longer solo travel.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I watched the girl just do it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I mean it's a lot of equipment, but she brings
like a tripod and yeah, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, that defeats the purpose of my trip. I feel
like if I'm sitting up lighting in tripods, you know,
to do like stand ups on my vacation, you.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Know, like iffee stick is good for you.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
There's a girl with has day trips and I love her.
Have you seen her?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Which one? Grace? And maybe she girl girl?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
She gets on a plane at like six am, does
a day trip, comes back at like I don't know,
nine pm, with what money?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
How are these people like?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I want to say, Okay, no, she's cute. I think
she's from here.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
She's cute, But I have to say I think she
stole the idea from a guy who's been doing it.
There's a guy who's been I think a lot of
people are doing it now, but there was a dude's
who's been doing it and he did like Egypt in
a day. But now he's sponsored. Yeah, he's like his
whole thing is he lives in New York. And he'll
be like, you're not gonna believe it. I'm getting his
catchphrase wrong. But he'll be like, you're not gonna believe it.
But you know, Ethiopia is a day trip for me.
(08:12):
And so he'll get up in New York and he'll
fly there a night and then he's back the same day.
So he'll be like, he did a safari in four hours.
He went to Africa, I think it was eight, did
a safari ate something, went back to the airport, flew home.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
What is the point of that, Well, I mean to.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Say, I think the point that he's trying to make
is that you can see anything you want to see
with limited time and budget. Because the thing that I
kept hearing before I would start doing the solo travel stuff,
it was, you know, or my mindset was why am
I going to spend all this money if I only
have two days or three days, or it's not worth
it or I won't see anything, Because you know, we
(08:50):
don't get weeks and weeks off at a time that
we could say, hey, let's go to Africa for two
weeks and like see a bunch of stuff, like, we
don't have that. So I've never been because it's far,
and I'm thinking, well that so my previous mentality would
have been, well, I guess I'm gonna have to wait
until I have a lot of time. And these people,
I think are saying, look, you're not going to see everything.
You're not really going to see much at all. Actually,
(09:10):
but like a day is extreme, but maybe a couple
of days.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's better than never going at all along weekend or something.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And so like pre COVID, when I was out there,
you know, like out of in these streets and going places,
like if we had three days, I'd go wherever I could.
I'd look on the airline and thing and see where
I could go. Because it's like, well, I have a
friend who's been his name is R. Dub Randy. He's
been to one hundred and ninety three countries all you
and recognized countries.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Is not much older than me.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And that's how he did it, is that his thing
was as long as I see everything, and he was
trying to check the box, right, but like so it
was a mission for him. Yeah, but his whole thing
was to me was I'd rather see everything once and
then go and then I'll be fifty something years old
and then i can go back to where That's what
he's doing now, is he's going back to the places
that he really likes because he's seen everything. So some
(09:54):
would say like, well, that's a waste of time and
money others, and then my argument counter argument would be, well,
then you're never going to see any thing because if
you're always waiting for the time and the money, you
may never get it. So like I think that very
long answer is the point to why these guys are
doing it, because it's like, hey, look I got one
day and this much money, and the last minute flight
costs this much, so I'm just gonna do it. Is
it kind of silly to go to Africa and like
(10:15):
see a giraffe and then go back to the airport.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, Is it better than never seeing a giraffe in Africa?
I guess it's up to you. Yeah, But you know
what one guy's doing. A ninety five year old man.
This is this man is is a man of your heart,
and I don't know where this is. I got to
find out where this Omaha, Nebraska is where you're going
to go to meet this man. He's ninety five years old.
He's a retirement home resident in Omaha, and he has
(10:39):
started his own Taylor Swift fan club.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
He's my everything.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
His name is Frank, and I should have just used
his first name. You would have known who I was
talking about. Since he's your everything. I should have just
said Frank, and then you would.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
And I want to know if he's seeing anybody.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, well that's why.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm suggesting maybe you should go and it could work
out very well for you, you all around. Yeah, yeah, Frank,
I love how to go too. It's not like an
old grandma. It's a dude. It all started when a
staff member at his retirement community said that she'd written
to Swift and never got a reply. So this guy,
who's a lifelong cheese fan, told her I know some people,
(11:13):
and launched the club.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This is some owners.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Such grandfather thing to say, like such an old man
thing to say, like I know somebody. What began with
ten residents quickly grew to one hundred members and they're
proudly calling themselves Swifties, which I hope they don't think
they came up with that.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I have a great name for it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Let him believe it, Let them have it. Man, you
don't got much time.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Frank even decorated his walker with a T Swift decal
and mailed letters complete with a photo to Swift, Travis Kelsey,
and Patrick Mahomes, hoping to catch their attention. The ultimate
which is for her to visit the retirement home. You
know they're gonna hear from her. There's no way that
she doesn't do something.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, I'm waiting for that.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I'm waiting for her to meet up with Sweet Lila,
whose mother Caitlyn, we had on the show. Like, I'm
just like, come on, girl, we need it, We need
you with Frank. I need the photo of you and
his walker and him.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, you got to go hang out with Frank. Now,
how she's going to get to Omaha. I don't think
she's gonna do that, but there'll be a video or
she'll send something. She's gonna send something because you know,
as thoughtful as she is, she has people. She's thoughtful
enough to hire people to look for stuff like this
and then do it and sign her name.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Either way, I give her credit for that. Yes she can.
You know, like all those.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Notes she sends, like when the media when we get
to meet her sometimes when we used to get to
meet her before some dude grabbed her butt.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But when we all get notes and I don't know
if she wrote them or maybe just signed. I think
initially she did. I think back in the day she
really wrote them. I don't know if now she does.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I know her handwriting, but I do wonder if someone else,
like had to master her handwriting.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, maybe she signs it's like that. Yeah, you're right.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But anyway, even if she's got people that are thoughtful
enough to do that, then I'll take it because how
many people do we meet every day that like don't
even want to be here.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I was just name dropped one of the ones that
you interviewed where later he was like talking to you.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
About how annoying the interviews were. I won't say his name,
but yeah, wait a minute, hold on, I'll tell you
off there.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
But it was just That's one of my favorite stories
is like you interviewed him earlier and then later he's like, oh,
these interviews I had to do earlier.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I remember, I don't remember who it was you're going
to tell me, but I remember the story.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
We were in Vegas. I think we did a bunch.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Of interviews, and then I saw it was this person.
I saw this person. Hold on, so tell me who
it is. Hold on, turn to myself, tell me, yes, yeah,
that's who it was. And so then later we're like
in more of like a casual like I think it
was like a bar or something like we were drinking.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Maybe where we were watching maybe the iHeart Festival, like
from that little platform thing or something.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And I was like, hey, man, you know whatever, I
just and I guess he didn't put together that I
was one of the people who would interviewed him, and
he was like, oh, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
God, those interviews are just so tedious, and they were
like I was one of maybe I don't know a
bunch of people that did, so they probably were. He
probably was telling the truth. But it's like and I
was like, yeah, I was one of the guys that
interviewed you, and he was like you just kind of looked.
I mean, he was like, well, not you. Yours wasn't
but you're set out right, that's right. No, mine was
probably the worst of all of them. I'm sure it
(14:08):
would be though, you know if you had to do
like ten in a row and everyone's asking the same questions.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Which is why I like to throw in the curve vaults.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Make them cry, make them.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Cry, you know what I mean. That's what I like
to do. This is the press show.
Speaker 2 (14:21):

Speaker 5 (14:49):
So if you've ever lived in any sort of apartment building,
depending on how much.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
They care about their like quote unquote.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Culture in the building and the vibes they you may
throw some kind of wacky events Like my last building,
I was like, who is going. They would host like
and I'd send them to Jason like lectures on a
certain painter, or you know, paint easter eggs.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You know, as a group for some event.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
And I'm always like, who the heck is going to
these things? And I recently moved. And they do do
some fun things, like I'll say, they'll have like some
workout classes or whatever. But I got an email about
a new event they're trying to do and I've never
heard of anything like this, And you guys tell me
if I should go or try to go enter myself.
So they said, ready to meet your neighbors in a
(15:38):
fun and memorable way. We're excited to host dinner with strangers.
And that was the That was the heading for the email.
A unique dining experience designed to bring the Bloop community together.
Twelve lucky residents will be selected at random.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Luck because they're gonna be such a mad dash for.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
This right well, to enjoy an all extents paid three
course dinner and two complimentary drinks.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh they made me a mad das for that.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
I might mad dash And I won't say where or when,
but you know they want us to connect, share stories
and make new friends.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Within our community.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Why wouldn't you go to them? Why not stand for that?
I mean, I'm not You're far more social than I am.
But I would go to somebody. I think I would
even go to something like that, Like, okay, so, like,
let's meet the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I don't really know any of my neighbors. I've lived
in the same building forever.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, I don't. And I will say.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
We use this app called Kobu, which I actually really like,
and there's a ton of message boards, like there's groups
for people who like whine, there's groups for people who
like certain food.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
You can sell things on there. So I do really
like that.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
But I'm I'm social if I have like one other person,
I'm a little shy if I go into something by
myself and I feel a little self conscious.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
About it, like being like because I don't think you know,
both have.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
The energy for that. Yeah you know. I'm sorry to
know you're both get Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
So I'm like, Okay, there's a lot of energy because
it's you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What you say, twelve people.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Twelve twelve of us.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
If we go to eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
People that you're gonna have to engage and probably tell
the same story over and over, like you know my
background or whatever. Unless just sit bios out ahead of time,
that'd be helpful.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Oh yeah, I don't know. It's just so I never
thought of anything like that.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
And you know, I love a free meal and a
free drink, so I might enter, but I'm a little
shy about it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I should, I think it would be it would be
cool to know. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Because you you may not have the occasion to meet
any of these people.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So friends, I need, not new ones.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I love you guys if you're listening, but they all
moved away, so I need friends here.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Does your building do things like this?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Events a little cute?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
See they do, like I think they do, like a quarterly,
like a little like a like a happy hour in
the lobby kind of thing. The demographic in my building
is usually much older than me. Oh so it's like
I don't Usually I wouldn't say I don't go because
I'm not interested in meeting these people. They are all
very nice people, but I just I don't know, Like
it's not it's usually couples, and it's not really my scene.
(17:52):
I've walked through it before, like leaving and I'm just
sort of like, all right, this is a little booe.
It's almost like it's a little I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
there's no one, no one. It's not a place that
you would really live with kids. People do, but it's
very few and far between the people who live in fact,
most people I know who were my age who lived
in the building wound up moving out of it to
go to the suburbs to then have a kid, you know,
(18:14):
because it wouldn't be easy because it's small spaces, you know.
So you're dealing with people who mostly have done all
that and then move to the city like empty nesters,
and so I probably there's probably a lot of like
influential people I could meet, like your lawyers and judges
and doctors.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And who knows.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I love old people. I would totally go. You might
get in somebody's will you never know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Very well then you know what I'm going to the
next one, thank you go.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
But yeah, so I might. I'll enter myself and tell
you guys if I win.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I've also thought about running for the HOA, the homeowners
you should well, well, I have no clue what I'd
even be setting up for. I think the voting already happened,
but I just they complained. People complain about an awful lot
of stuff, and stuff's kind of whack sometimes, like you know,
I need to maybe I should have a voice in this.
Then like I'll I'll join the HO and then I'll
(19:00):
go to the board meetings and be like huh uh
you should.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
One of our coworkers is like the president of his
like building, and he's always getting calls though like yeah
this is broken. The snow is too high, or the
grass is too long, or the washing machine is broken.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Oh yeah, he's the top guy though, right right, that's
why I don't be the top guy a full other,
full time job like energying the building.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
You got to be like the secretary or I'm the
treasurer of my.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Got the treasure a lot of power. They obviously never
listened to the show. You can't even get on the
h A asked you to venmo something You're like, well, actually,
as a treasure, I'm banned from prohibitted.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, but I'm a good treasure. But I don't really
do much. I just collect the money.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And when you do that, Yeah, they didn't look into
this at all the day. Hey, they don't got to
know nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Lord, I think I told you, like they my building's
not I don't know. I mean spend here as long
as I've lived here, so you know, over a decade,
but not that long ago. They decided to repaint the
hallways and like recarpet and it was just this whole
project and I like the way that it was. And
I think whoever developed the building, we spent a lot
of money clearly to have like a design firm. I mean,
(20:07):
if you build a seventy story building, like somebody came
in and decked it out, designed it. You know, it
looked great, I thought, and then we went and changed
it because it was it was the carpent needed replacing stuff.
So I get that, but it was like, I don't
know who picked this stuff out, Like it doesn't it
looked better before? Like why not just upgrade what we
already had? Sense whatever? And so I'm in the elevator
(20:28):
after they do this and his lady's like, what do
you think of the redesign. I'm like it's ugly, and
she's like, I'm sorry you feel that way. I was
the head of the design committee for the building, and
I was like lady. Look, I'm not trying to offend you.
I'm not trying to offend you, ma'am. I just said, I,
you know, it looks very different from the way that
it did, and I just I don't know why we
did that. And I think her, you know, her thing
(20:49):
to me was kind of like, well, then maybe you
should be on the board, and it's like, well, maybe
I should.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
She No, I don't like what she did. I think
that that was a sad urb and that was unfair.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
It would have been nice for some context, because I
would have been nicer about it. Of course, I might
have said, like, you know what, it looks nice, it's
not my taste.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Because it's not my taste, yeah, because it's just different.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But anyway, yeah, that that's probably why I don't go
to the happy hours. Because I don't I might getting
get evicted or something.
This is the Freas Show.
Speaker 2 (00:02):

Have you watched a video yet of my favorite guy?
A sharp transition though, the for me guy who does
all the food reviews in Texas.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
That I was telling you about. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I watched your video that you sent me on the
plane flying into the hurricane yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Those people are nuts.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I want to do that because I love weather and
I want to see the inside of the hurricane.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
And I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You don't want to sleep forty five minutes away from
your house, but you'll go into an airplane that flies
through a hurricane.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Yes, Like, this doesn't make any sense to me. I
want to see it, but you did see it in
the video.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I don't need you flying through a hurricane, Like I
don't need them to take that at risk. Ye, But yeah,
these people are nuts, like there is a hurricane that
looks let's go right through it. Let's just fly right
into it. Yeah, I am, I don't know me and
Tim Skilling on the plane. Okay, well that's I think
that's what you really want, is Tom Skilling to be there.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
But morning everyone, it's the Friend Show.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
No. My guy. He's in Houston. He's this older gentleman
and he goes to different restaurants. He's just his white
tech textan. I think I think he's in Texan, and
he goes to any kind of like different culture and
he kind of Etthiopiu and I think I saw the
other day and Vietnamese whatever. He goes just to anywhere
that people tell him to go to try it. And
he sits down and he's just like, hey, I don't
know anything about anything, like teach me and show me,
(01:37):
like order me, you know, order for me whatever I
should eat. And then at the end he tells you
whether it's for him or not. So he'll go for
me or not for me. But he'll never like bash
the place. He'll just say like I liked it or
I didn't like it, because it's you know, he'll but whatever.
He'll go into a place and eat goat. He's like,
all right here, great goat sounds good. He just whatever
would be like a local thing. So yeah, you should
(02:00):
check him out.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Good. It's very inspiring. People are like, if more people
were like this.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Then maybe we wouldn't have so many problems in this country.
People were open minded and wanted to learn about each
other and listened and whatever else. Yeah, so maybe he's
starting a movement. Maybe this guy for president, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Also like that if he doesn't like it, he doesn't,
like you said, doesn't bash it, like everyone's allowed to
not like something, but then you don't have to like
say it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Sucks right right, and he gets he doesn't. He pays
for everything. He won't take anything for free. Oh I
like that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
The other guy I.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Love is the guy in New York, the cab driver,
the uber driver. He calls himself a cab driver. I
think he's an uber driver. But he goes to Michelin
Star restaurants like for lunch. He just shows it, like
he just walks in and now they know him. In
all these places because the people that work there watch
the videos. But he doesn't have a ton of money,
I don't think, but he has enough. But he'll go
spend four hundred bucks on lunch and he'll just go
to a Michelin star restaurant one guy and he'll be like, hey,
(02:49):
do you have a table for one? Sometimes they're like okay,
or like at the bar, but now they know him,
so now when he shows up, he gets treated like
royalty because you know, hundreds of thousands of people are
watching these videos, and so you know, the better they
treat him, the better. Like the chef Daniel Bleud came out,
Oh hey to meet. It's just a cavitre. It's like
a normal guy like the rest of us. But he
gets treated like, you know, here's the caviare upgrade and
(03:09):
the rest of it because they because the servers all
are on TikTok and they watch the videos because they
are also normal people working at rich people restaurants.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I like that guy too. I can't remember his name.
Does he share the bill at the end? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
And he pays and they try it. They like he
wouldn't do Jay Balvin's restaurant. And then jay Balvin happened
to be there. It just happened to me, which which
that seemed wild to me, except these videos are not
like high production value. He's just a normal person, like
making just whatever normal So I don't know that he
set it up exactly, but I don't know. So Jay
Alvin sits down with him, and then Jay Balvin's like
(03:41):
free dinner, and he's like, no, I have to pay
because that's part of the deal. Like I can't give
an honest review if I'm not. But I think he's
making money on the views.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
He's going to say, you can take something for free.
My dude, it's okay.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I guess his thing is if if this place gives
me free food and this place doesn't, then you know,
are my reviews going to be skewed by that? I mean,
he's getting millions of views. I got to think it's
paying for itself at least, But I don't know. I'm
always surprised at how little people actually make on social media,
Like you got four gazillion views on that and I
checked for seventeen dollars.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Which one is the best? Is it YouTube? Or is
it is?
Speaker 1 (04:18):
What everyone is saying is yes, I'm going back.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
It's like a new thing. But I'm like, do I
really I post? Jason told me that I.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Posted one Snapchat story and I was not a millionaire yet,
and I.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Was like, this is be uh no, You're supposed to
like do a high frequency and then no one.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Paid me anything for anything.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
I think I have ten cents in my creator account,
which is exciting. You know.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I think I might use it on a Michelin star meal.
Yeah you should. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I have Snapchat for one reason and one reason only,
and I need to get rid of it because I
don't think that reason is happening anymore. So it's fine.
I have no business on Snapchat. I don't need to
be on there. It's dire for people like like fifteen
years old, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
No, it's like turning a corner like me, because like
turning a now that everyone knows that you can make
money off at like all influencers and celebrities and everyone
is on Snapchat because they're trying to get that.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Okay, well maybe maybe I'll re engage. I don't know
how much money are we talking about here. It is Thursday,
October thirty at The Fred Show is on Hi, Kalem, Hello,
welcome back, Hello Jason, Hi, Paulina, Pikey's back tomorrow, and
then all's well in the world. She open Shelley will

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yes, something like that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Bell Mean's here on the phone in the text eight
five five five nine one one three five. We'll get
to the Entertainment Report a little bit. Blogs this hour,

Speaker 5 (05:47):
K Katie Perry getting kind of annihilated for throwing your
own birthday cake.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Also, we have a rap shortage, and I need to
put a call out.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
We have a rap shortage, rap music shortage. Idea, we
got to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I had no idea. Yeah, someone texted no air traffic controllers.
So yeah, let's drive right through the hurricane. Yeah, these
guys meant to do it. But yeah, yeah, normally we
would have air traffic controllers to say, yeah, I think
I would take a ride around that.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I may not go. I may not with that that
thing with the whole in the middle. You know, you don't.
We don't want it, we don't need it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
No, but these people drive, they drive through it, they
fly through it on purpose in a government and I
hope they're getting paid. I don't know if maybe they're
not getting paid, but I guess.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Isn't it for like do they do? Obviously it's for
like research.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I think they're they're trying to like get the winds
and other things when they fly through it.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Purchasers down here like in Twister. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't think they're just like check this out, you know.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Like.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
We we sent our least valuable people up there to
see if they come back.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like, No, I don't think that's how it is. Because
the American Airlines jet right, see how far right? Like, guys,
what's this volunteer?
Speaker 4 (06:54):
This is wild wild?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Someone said YouTube long form video paced the best.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Oh yeah, so they've been the highest pair for a while.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I feel like, well, how long forms? I got hard though?
Too long for do you.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Want a vlog?
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Like?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
No, that's what I'm talking about. Thirty is sixty seconds tops.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
There's travel vlogs would would be good on YouTube, I
feel like.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I guess, but I feel like solo travel vlogs would
require me to travel with someone else to document the
solo travel, which then is no longer solo travel.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I watched the girl just do it.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
I mean it's a lot of equipment, but she brings
like a tripod and yeah, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Okay, that defeats the purpose of my trip. I feel
like if I'm sitting up lighting in tripods, you know,
to do like stand ups on my vacation, you.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Know, like iffee stick is good for you.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
There's a girl with has day trips and I love her.
Have you seen her?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Which one? Grace? And maybe she girl girl?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
She gets on a plane at like six am, does
a day trip, comes back at like I don't know,
nine pm, with what money?
Speaker 4 (07:45):
How are these people like?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I want to say, Okay, no, she's cute. I think
she's from here.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
She's cute, But I have to say I think she
stole the idea from a guy who's been doing it.
There's a guy who's been I think a lot of
people are doing it now, but there was a dude's
who's been doing it and he did like Egypt in
a day. But now he's sponsored. Yeah, he's like his
whole thing is he lives in New York. And he'll
be like, you're not gonna believe it. I'm getting his
catchphrase wrong. But he'll be like, you're not gonna believe it.
But you know, Ethiopia is a day trip for me.
(08:12):
And so he'll get up in New York and he'll
fly there a night and then he's back the same day.
So he'll be like, he did a safari in four hours.
He went to Africa, I think it was eight, did
a safari ate something, went back to the airport, flew home.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
What is the point of that, Well, I mean to.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Say, I think the point that he's trying to make
is that you can see anything you want to see
with limited time and budget. Because the thing that I
kept hearing before I would start doing the solo travel stuff,
it was, you know, or my mindset was why am
I going to spend all this money if I only
have two days or three days, or it's not worth
it or I won't see anything, Because you know, we
(08:50):
don't get weeks and weeks off at a time that
we could say, hey, let's go to Africa for two
weeks and like see a bunch of stuff, like, we
don't have that. So I've never been because it's far,
and I'm thinking, well that so my previous mentality would
have been, well, I guess I'm gonna have to wait
until I have a lot of time. And these people,
I think are saying, look, you're not going to see everything.
You're not really going to see much at all. Actually,
(09:10):
but like a day is extreme, but maybe a couple
of days.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's better than never going at all along weekend or something.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And so like pre COVID, when I was out there,
you know, like out of in these streets and going places,
like if we had three days, I'd go wherever I could.
I'd look on the airline and thing and see where
I could go. Because it's like, well, I have a
friend who's been his name is R. Dub Randy. He's
been to one hundred and ninety three countries all you
and recognized countries.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Is not much older than me.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
And that's how he did it, is that his thing
was as long as I see everything, and he was
trying to check the box, right, but like so it
was a mission for him. Yeah, but his whole thing
was to me was I'd rather see everything once and
then go and then I'll be fifty something years old
and then i can go back to where That's what
he's doing now, is he's going back to the places
that he really likes because he's seen everything. So some
(09:54):
would say like, well, that's a waste of time and
money others, and then my argument counter argument would be, well,
then you're never going to see any thing because if
you're always waiting for the time and the money, you
may never get it. So like I think that very
long answer is the point to why these guys are
doing it, because it's like, hey, look I got one
day and this much money, and the last minute flight
costs this much, so I'm just gonna do it. Is
it kind of silly to go to Africa and like
(10:15):
see a giraffe and then go back to the airport.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, Is it better than never seeing a giraffe in Africa?
I guess it's up to you. Yeah, But you know
what one guy's doing. A ninety five year old man.
This is this man is is a man of your heart,
and I don't know where this is. I got to
find out where this Omaha, Nebraska is where you're going
to go to meet this man. He's ninety five years old.
He's a retirement home resident in Omaha, and he has
(10:39):
started his own Taylor Swift fan club.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
He's my everything.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
His name is Frank, and I should have just used
his first name. You would have known who I was
talking about. Since he's your everything. I should have just
said Frank, and then you would.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
And I want to know if he's seeing anybody.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, well that's why.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm suggesting maybe you should go and it could work
out very well for you, you all around. Yeah, yeah, Frank,
I love how to go too. It's not like an
old grandma. It's a dude. It all started when a
staff member at his retirement community said that she'd written
to Swift and never got a reply. So this guy,
who's a lifelong cheese fan, told her I know some people,
(11:13):
and launched the club.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This is some owners.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Such grandfather thing to say, like such an old man
thing to say, like I know somebody. What began with
ten residents quickly grew to one hundred members and they're
proudly calling themselves Swifties, which I hope they don't think
they came up with that.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I have a great name for it.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Let him believe it, Let them have it. Man, you
don't got much time.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Frank even decorated his walker with a T Swift decal
and mailed letters complete with a photo to Swift, Travis Kelsey,
and Patrick Mahomes, hoping to catch their attention. The ultimate
which is for her to visit the retirement home. You
know they're gonna hear from her. There's no way that
she doesn't do something.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Yeah, I'm waiting for that.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
I'm waiting for her to meet up with Sweet Lila,
whose mother Caitlyn, we had on the show. Like, I'm
just like, come on, girl, we need it, We need
you with Frank. I need the photo of you and
his walker and him.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, you got to go hang out with Frank. Now,
how she's going to get to Omaha. I don't think
she's gonna do that, but there'll be a video or
she'll send something. She's gonna send something because you know,
as thoughtful as she is, she has people. She's thoughtful
enough to hire people to look for stuff like this
and then do it and sign her name.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Either way, I give her credit for that. Yes she can.
You know, like all those.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Notes she sends, like when the media when we get
to meet her sometimes when we used to get to
meet her before some dude grabbed her butt.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Thanks for that.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
But when we all get notes and I don't know
if she wrote them or maybe just signed. I think
initially she did. I think back in the day she
really wrote them. I don't know if now she does.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I know her handwriting, but I do wonder if someone else,
like had to master her handwriting.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Well, maybe she signs it's like that. Yeah, you're right.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But anyway, even if she's got people that are thoughtful
enough to do that, then I'll take it because how
many people do we meet every day that like don't
even want to be here.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
I was just name dropped one of the ones that
you interviewed where later he was like talking to you.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
About how annoying the interviews were. I won't say his name,
but yeah, wait a minute, hold on, I'll tell you
off there.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
But it was just That's one of my favorite stories
is like you interviewed him earlier and then later he's like, oh,
these interviews I had to do earlier.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I remember, I don't remember who it was you're going
to tell me, but I remember the story.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
We were in Vegas. I think we did a bunch.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Of interviews, and then I saw it was this person.
I saw this person. Hold on, so tell me who
it is. Hold on, turn to myself, tell me, yes, yeah,
that's who it was. And so then later we're like
in more of like a casual like I think it
was like a bar or something like we were drinking.
Speaker 5 (13:34):
Maybe where we were watching maybe the iHeart Festival, like
from that little platform thing or something.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And I was like, hey, man, you know whatever, I
just and I guess he didn't put together that I
was one of the people who would interviewed him, and
he was like, oh, good to see you.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
God, those interviews are just so tedious, and they were
like I was one of maybe I don't know a
bunch of people that did, so they probably were. He
probably was telling the truth. But it's like and I
was like, yeah, I was one of the guys that
interviewed you, and he was like you just kind of looked.
I mean, he was like, well, not you. Yours wasn't
but you're set out right, that's right. No, mine was
probably the worst of all of them. I'm sure it
(14:08):
would be though, you know if you had to do
like ten in a row and everyone's asking the same questions.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Which is why I like to throw in the curve vaults.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Make them cry, make them.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Cry, you know what I mean. That's what I like
to do. This is the press show.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
So if you've ever lived in any sort of apartment building,
depending on how much.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
They care about their like quote unquote.
Speaker 5 (14:57):
Culture in the building and the vibes they you may
throw some kind of wacky events Like my last building,
I was like, who is going. They would host like
and I'd send them to Jason like lectures on a
certain painter, or you know, paint easter eggs.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
You know, as a group for some event.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
And I'm always like, who the heck is going to
these things? And I recently moved. And they do do
some fun things, like I'll say, they'll have like some
workout classes or whatever. But I got an email about
a new event they're trying to do and I've never
heard of anything like this, And you guys tell me
if I should go or try to go enter myself.
So they said, ready to meet your neighbors in a
(15:38):
fun and memorable way. We're excited to host dinner with strangers.
And that was the That was the heading for the email.
A unique dining experience designed to bring the Bloop community together.
Twelve lucky residents will be selected at random.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Luck because they're gonna be such a mad dash for.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
This right well, to enjoy an all extents paid three
course dinner and two complimentary drinks.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh they made me a mad das for that.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
I might mad dash And I won't say where or when,
but you know they want us to connect, share stories
and make new friends.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Within our community.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Why wouldn't you go to them? Why not stand for that?
I mean, I'm not You're far more social than I am.
But I would go to somebody. I think I would
even go to something like that, Like, okay, so, like,
let's meet the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
I don't really know any of my neighbors. I've lived
in the same building forever.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Yeah, I don't. And I will say.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
We use this app called Kobu, which I actually really like,
and there's a ton of message boards, like there's groups
for people who like whine, there's groups for people who
like certain food.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
You can sell things on there. So I do really
like that.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
But I'm I'm social if I have like one other person,
I'm a little shy if I go into something by
myself and I feel a little self conscious.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
About it, like being like because I don't think you know,
both have.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
The energy for that. Yeah you know. I'm sorry to
know you're both get Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
So I'm like, Okay, there's a lot of energy because
it's you.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
What you say, twelve people.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Twelve twelve of us.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
If we go to eleven.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
People that you're gonna have to engage and probably tell
the same story over and over, like you know my
background or whatever. Unless just sit bios out ahead of time,
that'd be helpful.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Oh yeah, I don't know. It's just so I never
thought of anything like that.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
And you know, I love a free meal and a
free drink, so I might enter, but I'm a little
shy about it.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I should, I think it would be it would be
cool to know. Yeah, why not?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Because you you may not have the occasion to meet
any of these people.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So friends, I need, not new ones.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
I love you guys if you're listening, but they all
moved away, so I need friends here.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Does your building do things like this?
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Events a little cute?
Speaker 2 (17:31):
See they do, like I think they do, like a quarterly,
like a little like a like a happy hour in
the lobby kind of thing. The demographic in my building
is usually much older than me. Oh so it's like
I don't Usually I wouldn't say I don't go because
I'm not interested in meeting these people. They are all
very nice people, but I just I don't know, Like
it's not it's usually couples, and it's not really my scene.
(17:52):
I've walked through it before, like leaving and I'm just
sort of like, all right, this is a little booe.
It's almost like it's a little I don't know. Yeah, yeah,
there's no one, no one. It's not a place that
you would really live with kids. People do, but it's
very few and far between the people who live in fact,
most people I know who were my age who lived
in the building wound up moving out of it to
go to the suburbs to then have a kid, you know,
(18:14):
because it wouldn't be easy because it's small spaces, you know.
So you're dealing with people who mostly have done all
that and then move to the city like empty nesters,
and so I probably there's probably a lot of like
influential people I could meet, like your lawyers and judges
and doctors.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
And who knows.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I love old people. I would totally go. You might
get in somebody's will you never know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Very well then you know what I'm going to the
next one, thank you go.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
But yeah, so I might. I'll enter myself and tell
you guys if I win.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I've also thought about running for the HOA, the homeowners
you should well, well, I have no clue what I'd
even be setting up for. I think the voting already happened,
but I just they complained. People complain about an awful lot
of stuff, and stuff's kind of whack sometimes, like you know,
I need to maybe I should have a voice in this.
Then like I'll I'll join the HO and then I'll
(19:00):
go to the board meetings and be like huh uh
you should.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
One of our coworkers is like the president of his
like building, and he's always getting calls though like yeah
this is broken. The snow is too high, or the
grass is too long, or the washing machine is broken.
Speaker 5 (19:14):
Oh yeah, he's the top guy though, right right, that's
why I don't be the top guy a full other,
full time job like energying the building.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
You got to be like the secretary or I'm the
treasurer of my.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Got the treasure a lot of power. They obviously never
listened to the show. You can't even get on the
h A asked you to venmo something You're like, well, actually,
as a treasure, I'm banned from prohibitted.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Yeah, but I'm a good treasure. But I don't really
do much. I just collect the money.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And when you do that, Yeah, they didn't look into
this at all the day. Hey, they don't got to
know nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Lord, I think I told you, like they my building's
not I don't know. I mean spend here as long
as I've lived here, so you know, over a decade,
but not that long ago. They decided to repaint the
hallways and like recarpet and it was just this whole
project and I like the way that it was. And
I think whoever developed the building, we spent a lot
of money clearly to have like a design firm. I mean,
(20:07):
if you build a seventy story building, like somebody came
in and decked it out, designed it. You know, it
looked great, I thought, and then we went and changed
it because it was it was the carpent needed replacing stuff.
So I get that, but it was like, I don't
know who picked this stuff out, Like it doesn't it
looked better before? Like why not just upgrade what we
already had? Sense whatever? And so I'm in the elevator
(20:28):
after they do this and his lady's like, what do
you think of the redesign. I'm like it's ugly, and
she's like, I'm sorry you feel that way. I was
the head of the design committee for the building, and
I was like lady. Look, I'm not trying to offend you.
I'm not trying to offend you, ma'am. I just said, I,
you know, it looks very different from the way that
it did, and I just I don't know why we
did that. And I think her, you know, her thing
(20:49):
to me was kind of like, well, then maybe you
should be on the board, and it's like, well, maybe
I should.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
She No, I don't like what she did. I think
that that was a sad urb and that was unfair.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
It would have been nice for some context, because I
would have been nicer about it. Of course, I might
have said, like, you know what, it looks nice, it's
not my taste.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Because it's not my taste, yeah, because it's just different.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
But anyway, yeah, that that's probably why I don't go
to the happy hours. Because I don't I might getting
get evicted or something.
