1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: They talk the bunch. Yeah, they talk better than tell me.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: All right, it's like we're writing in our diaries, except

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 2: we say them aloud. We call him blogs Kalin and

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: take it.

6
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 3: Away, thank you, dear blog.

7
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,159
Speaker 4: So I talked about my dad recently, and some of

8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 4: the thirteen really enjoyed hearing about him.

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 3: He's a quirky guy. He's yeah, he's had a tanning bed.

10
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 4: In his He's lived so many lives that man has

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 4: stories for days. He's just a character. Like they just

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 4: don't make him like him anymore. And I have to

13
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 4: tell you guys about his latest obsession.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 3: And so my dad is not drinking right now. Love

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 3: that for him.

16
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 4: But he is a very social guy, lives alone, he's single,

17
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 4: but like I think inherently he's an extrovert. I think

18
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 4: he's the reason why like the Midwest and me, like

19
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 4: someone will be in an elevator with a suitcase, I

20
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 4: start talking out, I hope you're going somewhere warrant, Like

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 4: I make friends everywhere, I think because of my dad. Anyways,

22
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: so he's not going to the bars where he has

23
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 4: friends everywhere.

24
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: That's not his hangout.

25
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 4: But he has a new place that is his quote

26
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: unquote cheers where he does hang out because he's not drinking,

27
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,279
Speaker 4: and that is an audio and video store.

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 3: Okay, what is that.

29
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: It's like they have by a stereo.

30
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 4: Literally, I had no idea they still had them.

31
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm called Circuit City them.

32
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: I think it's like a mom and pop because I

33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: got the name from him the other day. But it's

34
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 4: in Michigan, and he said they are heavy into doing

35
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 4: system design and installation as well as whole house smart

36
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 4: systems in not only audio and video, but lighting as

37
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 4: well as smart blinds and deck shading. Anyways, I think

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 4: he works for them, but the amount that he goes

39
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 4: to this store is like abnormal, Like he has and

40
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 4: by the way, he's obsessed with TVs, so like this

41
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: is his thing, like technology TVs.

42
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: He has a TV in every single room.

43
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 4: We're talking bathrooms, we're talking kitchens, we're talking upstairs down

44
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: so we're talking in the garage. And what he likes

45
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: to do is have the same show on everywhere because

46
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: he can't sit still. And you guys know that he

47
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: has inside tennis shoes for his inside you know, his

48
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: side work. So he's always tinkering around, but there's always

49
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: a TV on and.

50
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 3: It always has the same show, so he can watch

51
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: it wherever he goes.

52
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: I think he's my idol, to be honest, Like I think,

53
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: like I want to yeah, like I want to beat him.

54
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you guys would have a time.

55
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: So anyway, so he goes to the store and I

56
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: just I can't help but wonder if the people that

57
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 4: work there shout out Parker his salesperson, or maybe a

58
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: little bit annoyed. Does yes always oh no.

59
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: He probably love to see him coming.

60
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 4: But he but but he wants to learn as well,

61
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: so they are constantly having to like teach him how

62
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: things work, show him how things work. He says that

63
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: they bring him into a special room where they put

64
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 4: on you know, the best of the best sound and

65
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 4: the best of the best TV, and they'll turn it

66
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 4: up and let him like listen.

67
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

68
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: This is his new hyper fixation. And you know, we're

69
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 4: glad it's it's not bad for him. But I just

70
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: it's just hysterical to me. Like he told me yesterday,

71
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 4: they're having a happy hour soon and he's gonna he's

72
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 4: death's like what he's looking forward to is a happy

73
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: hour at his his little technology store's like listen, and

74
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: he's buying stuff he doesn't need, which I don't know

75
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: if that's great, but he it's.

76
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: Just your inheritance going into this place. But it's fine.

77
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's okay. I mean, whatever keeps him going,

78
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: whatever keeps them happy. But these are his new friends.

79
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 4: He goes there almost every day. He hangs out with them.

80
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 4: Shout out Parker. And this is his nude cheers. And

81
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 4: I just was curious if anyone else had like a

82
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 4: non bar. This is my cheers place, like a place

83
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: that you just go. Everybody knows your name, and that's

84
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 4: your comfort or your obsession. But I have to talk

85
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: to the people that work there because I do worry

86
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 4: that they're getting a little sick of him.

87
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: I love that for him.

88
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: Someone said's very much a thin custom audio video. It's

89
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: what I do for a living. No, I had a

90
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: guy who like came and put the TV on the wall,

91
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: but I didn't think he had a showroom. And that's

92
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: what he does too. He does all the same things

93
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,080

Speaker 2: she died, he would go visit her. Anyway, The reason

121
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: I bring him up, in addition to him being a

122
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: hell of a guy, is that he would go to

123
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: a hardware store every day, every morning and drink coffee

124
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: with them every single day.

125
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so this is like a thing.

126
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, he'd every single morning he'd go have coffee

127
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: with the guys at the hardware store and sometimes he'd

128
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 2: buy stuff.

129
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: He liked to do glass etching.

130
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: He had like a glass etching thing in back of

131
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 2: his house, so like, yeah, he'd go in there and

Speaker 3: That's really sweet, Mikerid. It used to be that it

00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: He was considering getting a job there, but now now

137
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 4: we've moved on.

138
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: But that's really sweet.

139
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear about these things. What was another one?

140
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: I remember growing up, We used to go to McDonald's

141
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: on Saturday morning for breakfast, and we would drive there

142
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 2: and in the corner were like six or seven men,

143
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: and they were the guys that owned the newspaper, the

144
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: television stations, and the radio stations.

145
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: The most powerful, probably the most powerful.

146
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: Men in the city would go to McDonald's every Saturday

147
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 2: morning and they'd sit around this table and nobody really knew,

148
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: but like our family was in the business. But like,

149
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: if you ever really wanted to get something done, like

150
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: you should have gone to the McDonald's, you know, and

151
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: pulled up because all these dudes are just sitting around

152
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: and they were just normal dudes drinking their you know,

153
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: dollar coffee and getting it refilled all morning and just

154
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: suiting the breeze with each other.

155
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: I kind of hope for that someday.

156
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: I hope someday when I'm really old, that like I

157
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,799
Speaker 2: can live on some kind of compound with my buddies

158
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: and like, you know, at five o'clock every day we're

159
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: you know, drinking beers in the driveway or something.

160
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 4: Oh that's my dream as a dream, my friends and

161
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: I fantasize about it every day.

162
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: Well, that was my grandfather.

163
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: My grandfather had the beer fridge or he had the

164
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: beer had the caaggerator in his garage and if the

165
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: garage door was open, as it was every day around

166
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 2: five o'clock. That meant any of the neighbors could come

167
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: and into the garage, open the thing where the frosted

168
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: glasses were, and pour yourself a beer and bring your

169
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: folding chair and sit. And some days he'd open the

170
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: garage but he couldn't hang out, so they'd hang out

171
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: and his driveway drinking his beer.

172
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna make me want to move to a neighborhood.

Speaker 1: Like seriously, same because it's time, guys.
