1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: Talk about Yeah, they talk better than they say tell

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: me about it.

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 2: These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show.

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: I'm the running in our diaries, except we say them aloud.

5
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: We call them blogs.

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: Kiki deer blog, Baby, You're ready to take it away?

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: Deer blog.

8
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 4: Yesterday I came to the realization that I do not

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 4: trust double drive throughs. Okay, And I don't know what

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 4: where this started or why, but you know how all

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 4: of the fast food restaurants now they have rebuilt their

12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 4: little space and they got two drive throughs where you

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 4: can pull up on either side, and they make you

14
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 4: think that it's moving faster, but it's really not because it's.

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Number of people actually like and usually the same person

16
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: working them both.

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, And then once I get to the one do

18
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 4: I got to re order my order because I gotta

19
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 4: verify that I was I was the car that you

20
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: were talking to, but you try to make me think

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 4: that I it was too a y'all, but it was

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 4: really one of y'all taking my order. And then I

23
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: only trust the original through side. So like if my

24
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 4: McDonald's now has two, I only go to that one

25
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 4: that was there when it first.

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Got one was closest to the establishment exactly, the one

27
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: that's a little further out.

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 2: We're not doing that.

29
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 3: I don't trust it.

30
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 4: And sometimes there's a column there and then it's open,

31
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 4: and you just don't know.

32
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 5: What to do.

33
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 4: Like I just feel like, if I go over there,

34
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 4: that's the bootleg side. I need to stay with the

35
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 4: original lane because I don't trust the other side.

36
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, yes, if you The other day,

37
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: I was going through one and I realized that everybody

38
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: was only lining up for the internal side, the one

39
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: closest to the establishment, that's me. The outside one was

40
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: wide open and nobody was going to it. So I

41
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: drove out around four cars and I just went right

42
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: to the open one because it was like, look, I sat,

43
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: I waited, it didn't appear that anybody was going to

44
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: go over to the other side. I took the risk

45
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: because it's possible that if I had gone over there,

46
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: then it was not it was closed or broken, and

47
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: I had missed it, and then we had to go

48
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: all the way back around and get in the back

49
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: of the line. Turned out that just that nobody's paying attention.

50
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: Really, and they let you merge, because that's another thing.

51
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: Once you go through that. Now we gotta murger.

52
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: Now I gotta look at you an eye, you gotta

53
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 4: let me and eye I gotta nod.

54
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 3: Can I merge done?

55
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 6: It should be every other if we're both done. But

56
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 6: people will just cut you right on off exactly like

57
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 6: all right.

58
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: So I just don't trust this.

59
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 4: And I think, you know, we grew up with one

60
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: drive through window, and it taught us patience, you know,

61
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: it taught us appreciation for that drive through worker. Now

62
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: you got these kids growing up with two sides. They

63
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: think everything's supposed to happen fast. I just I'm not

64
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 4: here for it.

65
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: The other problem with the double drive through is sometimes

66
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: I don't have great hearing, but sometimes I don't know

67
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: if which speaker they're talking.

68
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: Are you talking to me? Are you talking to the person?

69
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: So then I start to order and it's like, oh no, wait,

70
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: that was for the that was for the one over.

71
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: That wasn't for me.

72
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 6: And do you guys wait for them to greet you

73
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 6: or do you just start talking?

74
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 3: That's another thing.

75
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: You got to wait, don't you.

76
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: But now they got AI, so it's hi, you're using

77
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: your reward ports.

78
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm having a whole conversation.

79
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: And then I'm like, hey, girl, yeah, let me get it,

80
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: and then hello, Yeah, he's order.

81
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, but I was just talking to Sarah, So

82
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: how did you get hit? Jack? It's very weird.

83
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

84
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 6: Sometimes they'll wait for a while and they won't greet you,

85
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 6: and then they'll act rude to me, like as if

86
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 6: I was supposed to just know to order.

87
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, I need the signal.

88
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Fam.

89
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: I know you're working a lot of jobs.

90
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: It's too much.

91
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 2: It is Jack corugs me.

92
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: That reminds me of when you call like a customer

93
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: service line and it will be like, thank you for

94
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: calling the bank, my name is Teresa.

95
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: How may I help you? And then the person goes,

96
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 2: what do you want?

97
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they recorded that ahead of time, you know,

98
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: like on their first day of work. They recorded their greeting,

99
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 1: you know, and they were so happy to be there,

100
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: like I got a job now, like benefits and it

101
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: pays all right. So it's like, hey, written in your

102
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: bosses right there, Hey, record your greeting for the customers.

103
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to say no, hello, thanks for calling

104
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: the bank. My name is Teresa. What can I do

105
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: for you? And then when it finally goes to them.

106
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm like four years of working there. They're like, what

107
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: do you want?

108
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: Exactly?

109
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: And the same thing happens at the drive through is

110
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to McDonald's. It'll be like a woman, like somebody

111
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: who set it up. Welcome to McDonald's. Time may help

112
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: you today.

113
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: What do you want? There's some guy? What do you want?

114
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 6: Like?

115
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, hold on?

116
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 4: And then after we finally get through all that, it's

117
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: almost time to merge my anxieties.

118
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: All up? Do you want to donate?

119
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Bro?

120
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: Please? Like I can barely afford this meal. I don't

121
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: want to.

122
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: I don't want to donate today, Like it's just a

123
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: lot I don't know.

124
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 6: Or like when you're in the store and you're deciding

125
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 6: if you go up to the counter or use the screen.

126
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: I had that this morning.

127
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Oh yes, you know what I mean? Yes, right?

128
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 6: Like what would they prefer me to do? Because I'm

129
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 6: here to help, Like whatever's easiest on you. I love

130
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 6: the women who working on McDonald's. But do they want

131
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 6: me to order from them? Do they want me to

132
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 6: order on the screen?

133
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 5: I don't know.

134
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: The only way I'm using the kiosk is if the

135
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: lines are busy. I prefer to deal with the human

136
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: being if I can. I just feel like I trust

137
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: the process better.

138
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 5: And there's poop on those things.

139
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: Why I don't know, But what I really feel like,

140
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: I feel like a rebel is and I don't know

141
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: why I feel like a rebel.

142
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: Like I was at the airport the other day.

143
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: I was a rebel and there was a Starbucks and

144
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: it was the line was very long, but then I

145
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: had mobile ordering, so I kind of like stood there

146
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: for a second and I'm like, why is no one

147
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: doing that? So I'm mobile ordered. This same happened to

148
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: me at Midway the other day at the Duncan. There

149
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: there's a dunkin at Midway and there's a little sign

150
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: that says you can't dunk in mobile order, but they

151
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: have like an intern like a Midway mobile order system

152
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: or something.

153
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: There's a little signs and.

154
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: The line is like all the way down, like I

155
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: don't know, Harry Carrey's bar whatever, all the way down,

156
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm waiting in the line, and then

157
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: I see the sign, I'm like, why is no one

158
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: doing this? So I did, and then I go around

159
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: to the backside and there's my drink waiting right there.

160
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: Now am I wrong?

161
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 3: Yes?

162
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Why if everybody else is not paying attention to the possibilities,

163
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: then it's that's not on me.

164
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 3: That's what's wrong with the world.

165
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 4: We need patience, Okay, you need to get it back

166
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 4: a head line like everybody else, but.

167
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: They have an option. Reading is fundamental that's available to everyone.

168
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Same with swinging over to the other drive to like

169
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: if no one's doing it, why can't I?

170
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: Because it doesn't feel right.

171
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 4: You need to stay in the back of the line,

172
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: because now I'm in a line wondering how did he

173
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 4: get all the way up there?

174
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 3: How did he just walk past me and go get

175
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: his drink and even ordered?

176
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 5: Yet you got to be a leader, right, But.

177
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: I felt like I don't like the pink the pink

178
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: panther or something. I don't know, Like I saw the

179
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: sign and I.

180
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: And then I was like.

181
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: Everybody and everyone's looking at me, like, what is this guy?

182
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: What is he to think I have to wait in line?

183
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: I don't there's a sign.

00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Everybody.

185
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Everybody had access to the same sign, so everybody had

186
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: the equal opportunity unless you didn't read or write English.

187
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: I suppose in that case you wouldn't have known but

188
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: I gotta think most people in line could read English.

189
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: Yes, so it's not my phone, right, Yeah, whatever.
