Speaker 2: Tell me about.

Speaker 1: These are the radio blogs on the Fred Show. All right,

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: it's like we're writing in our diaries, except we say

00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 1: them aloud. We call them blogs. I haven't done in

00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: the hall from me. They're around my age. I think

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: we're the same age, really, same birth gear. Why do

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: I know this? Because well, because I have all their

11
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: passport info. Why do I have that? Because we're going

12
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: on a trip, the three of us together tomorrow and Sunday.

13
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: We're going back. We're going back to the sixth We're

14
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: going to Toronto. So I meet this guy in the

15
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: hallway a couple of years ago because I know, I

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: know what. I already know what you're thinking. You have

17
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: looks at your faces like there's something nefarious going on.

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: There's a spirit in your eye like I'm being included

19
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: as a third That's what. That's what. That's what I

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: could read. I can read see. I know you guys

21
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: so well. I don't even we can sit here and

22
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: telepathically do this show, and I know what you're thinking.

23
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: That thing we were talking about off the.

24
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well might be so married. Couple very nice people.

25
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: I meet this guy a few years ago. They moved

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,199
Speaker 1: in and he's walking down the hall with a bunch

27
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: of like pilot books. Can you learning how to fly? Oh?

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: And so I was like, hey, so we start talking

29
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm becoming a pilot. So we became friends

30
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: this way, and every now and again we go places.

31
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Well I shouldn't even say that. I think we've gone

32
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: like two places. But anyway, I am the third wheel

33
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: on this trip, right because he's a pilot and he

34
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: has a plane. I got a little Putt putt plane,

35
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: and we like to go places and whatever. But it's

36
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: a little strange. I keep having to tell them, like

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: if you guys want to go off and do whatever

38
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: you want to do, like as I don't need to

39
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: third wheel this whole twenty four hours, right, like we're

40
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: friends and whatever. But I don't know if maybe they're hoping,

41
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: like can the dude just bring somebody to make it even,

42
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, but I'm not just going to bring somebody.

43
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: When you're not seeing anyone and there's really no one

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: on the horizon, you don't really ask someone to leave

45
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: the country with you, Like, I'm not gonna. I mean,

46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: what would be a worse impression on my friends if

47
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: I get on a dating app and go, hey, you

48
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: want to go to Canada this weekend? Like probably not

49
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: a great idea. I feel like that's where things go awry,

50
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm with a stranger in a hotel

51
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: room in a foreign country, and what if we don't

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: get along or something. So I just do my thing

53
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: and go along with them. But I will be honest,

54
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: it's a little strange for me. I feel like I'm

55
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: intruding on their thing. I don't think they see it

56
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: that way. I don't. But this has been the story

57
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: of my life is I'm always the third wheel because

58
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: most of my friends are married and I'm not. And

59
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't typically bring people around my friends or family

60
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: unless it's really serious that it very rarely is, which

61
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: means I'm always the third wheel. They're together all the time.

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: I mean you know this. I've crashed my parents Valentine's dinners,

63
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: I've crashed birthdays, I've all kinds of things of my parents,

64
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: and they're like, look, for thirty some years, we've been

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: together every day, all the time. You can come to this.

66
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: I'm sure they feel the same way. They don't see

67
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: it as weird as I do, but I think it's weird. Now.

68
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: You guys think it's a swinging situation and it's not. Okay,

69
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: it's not. They've never made any pass with me whatsoever.

70
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: But what a perfect opportunity in another country. What does

71
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: that have to do it? It's gonna be romantic. I

72
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: can see the United States Toronto. It's not even that exotic.

73
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah they are. They are lovely people and it's not

74
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: like that.

75
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: They're not your type.

76
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: Don't do that because it's because if they if they

77
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: hear this, they're gonna wind up feeling rejected without ever

78
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They want to They don't.

79
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: They want nothing to do with me sexually.

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: But you're turning them down.

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: But hey, guys, sorry, But then what do you say

82
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: to that? I'd be very What do you say now?

83
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: Would you you're open to it? Say no that I'm

84
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: saying I don't find my friends attractive. If I say yes,

85
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: it's like this guy's predator. He's taking us to Canada

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: to do.

87
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: What I'm hearing is there's a chance, Yes.

88
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: It would if they wanted it, don't put me in

89
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: this position. They're lovely people. I don't think they have

90
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: any interest in that, and I don't have any interest

91
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: in that. It would certainly make the neighborhood pot look

92
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: a little weird. But I keep saying to them, I'm like, guys, like,

93
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I know, it's it's they like the flying stuff. I

94
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: like the flying stuff. They're they're relatively new, you know,

95
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: because I think, you know, he's really into it. So

96
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: she's into it with him, you know what I mean.

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: So like they're always going places, They're always you know,

98
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, this is, like I said, the

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: ability to like jump in the thing and go to

100
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: wherever in the wherever travers City or Detroit or Milwaukee

101
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: or Raleigh or wherever the hell you want to you know,

102
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: the West POMBI, wherever you want to go. Is it

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: kind of a new freedom things. So they're into it.

104
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: So then it's like, well let's do this and there

105
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: so's we have this like camaraderie.

106
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a bonding moment. Are you taking sexy underwear

107
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: right more than you usually pack? The first of my

108
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: fully man skipped at all times. You never know you

109
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: just never know right when in the moment's right. Okay,

110
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 2: I'm not going to get caught up. God, I'll tell

111
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: you that right now. Okay.

112
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I love being the third wheel though in all seriousness,

113
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: like I love these people, just it's my trip and

114
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: they just uninvited me. They're home right now. Going this

115
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: guy is such a more like being. I like it

116
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: third wheel syndrome. It is an insecurity, if you want

117
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: to call it that, that I have had for a

118
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: very long time now because there are no longer in

119
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: my in my realm, there are no longer single people

120
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: like I no longer have the single buddy I can

121
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: call and say, hey, come along, because it's like, oh,

122
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: let me get this cleared, and we got soccer practice

123
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: and t ball and I don't know, maybe next month

124
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: yor in six months we can do it or whatever.

125
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: And then I don't have I'm not seeing anyone with

126
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: the regularity that it's like, come to come with us.

127
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: And so rather than just bring somebody and make it

128
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: awkward for them, I just don't. I typically just go

129
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: I show it by myself.

130
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: As a single person. I've learned that the couples don't care.

131
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: No seriously, they do not care.

132
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: They want it.

133
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: I used to be on their dates everything, we'd be

134
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: at the movie theaters. I'm in between them sharing.

135
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: They do not care because they spend all this time together.

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: You're putting it on yourself.

137
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: And I get like why you might feel that way.

138
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: But like believe when I say, like, a.

139
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: Couple will tell you if they want to be alone,

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: and they will make that time.

141
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: Right. They're well aware what this is, you know, so

142
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: like they could just say no and.

143
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: Stop you keep showing them your sexy underwear.

144
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: Right and they kick guys getting one hotel room or

145
00:06:50,400 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: two it's a connecting room, okay, case of emergency. Now

146
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: we're saying it. Actually, what's funny is now we're saying

147
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: two separate hotel They just texted me. They just texted me.

148
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: Can you would you mind saying at the Hilton down

00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: the road. This complete total separation. Wow, this is I

00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: sure hope they're asleep,
