So many minds help. Wait, wait, wait, wait. There are a lot of hot Fred's.

2:03I don't know if there are. Fred's not. It's kind of fun. Oh yeah, he was. I like a man that go to work. Yeah. He's speed on the ground. That's hot. Fred's show is on. Guys, it got the funk. I got the funk. No. I don't know how this is going to go. You're going to have to carry this show like you always do. I'm just going to sit back and push the buttons and just watch the magic Jason. Okay. Alright, take it away. Go ahead. You're the host of the show today. Yeah. Okay, good. I would like to see this. Good. No, you're the host of this show. Yeah. Okay. We're just going to play a lot. Well, first we got to say hi to everybody. Yeah. We just came in. Oh. Yeah. We got to say hi. And then probably like an introduction. Okay. Never mind. I don't know if I got the funk. I don't know if it's from flying on planes. I don't know if it's because I was in a place where like people have allergies where like it's already warm. Yeah. I don't understand. I don't understand. I don't know whether it changes recently. Yes. What?

3:03It's 60 degrees than 80 and then 60 and then 50 and I can't handle this. This is the time of year where I just I probably should just like disappear for a month. Take a hiatus. Yeah. Let everything level up. Right. Right. Just work it all through and then I'll come back. Then what? Yeah, Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason. Jason could host the show. You just didn't mean we're perfect. He doesn't even open breaks. He just say hi to anybody. Yeah. I'd like to hear where you were going. Yeah. Yeah. I want to play the new baby Rexus on because I like it. So that's what I would start off with. Okay. We talk a little first. No. Okay. No more playing. Don't warm it up at all. The playlist would be like that. No. You would give it to the aux. It was a tummy good morning. Right. Exactly. know. Got it. Okay. Tell them you love them. You appreciate it. We love you. You all are super hot today. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just me in this room. Okay. For all the criticism that people have about me, you just did a whole break without identifying the other four people that I remember. Mysterious voice. As if we're not even here, because it doesn't really

4:06matter. And to him, we're not. Right. Because Jason's over here with his feed prop just getting in my ice pack against the world. He's getting fed right by these two living here and his back-and-call wife and his butt. I didn't even think he needed that. His hands work fine. Yeah. Nobody needed. But for some reason, the guy has meniscus repair surgery. He needs his butt wipe by two girls on the show. I can't read my butt. You didn't even ask me to do it. Are you trying to preserve the sexy? Is that what you don't need to see? What's going on over here? Okay. Oh, good. Just for us. Yes. You guys, you guys are the, are the ward, the ward maidens. Yeah. I'm just by hand. But how do you think I'm going to say good morning? Yeah. I mean, downstairs in the parking garage. I stand in attention with a wheelchair. That's actually true. It takes all of the women on the show to go down there. Everyone leaves to go tend to Jason. I can't wait for my colonoscopy when you guys drive me and then stand in attention while they stick a camera. I mean, we would do it. I hope you guys are ready for us. I'm going to wheel you in here. You think I'm playing after a colonoscopy. I hope you don't have to. I think they removed the camera before you leave. I don't know what you're

5:09going to do. Oh, really? Tell me more. Tell me more. I got you a side job. I've got a side job for record. Yeah. Lower last week. No, I'm going for fully licensed. I'm excited for you to have the long toot after the colonoscopy. I know. I know. I know. You don't like it. But it like last for 45 minutes and like you're supposed to do that. It's a good thing. But like for you, I know that's going to be, yeah, because you had a lot of the air out. Oh god. I need. I know. I need you know any details. Just Jesus take the wheel, man. I'm going to show up. Just go ahead. Knock me out. I mean, you can address me too. Like I don't care. In fact, knock me out the night before and then just wake me up when September ends, man. Wake me up when it's over and like, it'll be fine. I just, yeah, we can be out for the prop, man. That would be I want to be a sleep for that too. Okay. I don't care. Okay. Again, I got two ladies and we'll stand in tension and do whatever it takes around here. Prop me up on the toilet. Yes, we will. Yeah. We'll get our take our off and there's this shirt. We'll definitely humble you. I've been in positions that I didn't think that I would ever be in or having these ladies

6:12push me around or Mike having to help me get my chonies on, you know, it's it humbles you. And you feel like, wow, I think that's called an intimacy. And I, I don't think I could ever get there. I just don't because one, I don't like to be a burden than anybody. That too, I know, I know that you and you're not because you do so much for other people. But two, there are just things that I'm not comfortable like when people talk about, well, you know, you live with someone else, you know, it's like as if it's my maturity, like, you know, bodily functions and all kinds of sort of like unsexy things that happen when you live with another human, like Fred, you need to deal with that. Like you need to, you know, be a man or whatever. It's like, oh, no, no, no, I've had people over the years. I've had people over the years in this room, on the tax, on the call, criticize me for being like, like, like, like, I'm like, it's a maturity issue for me that I am a little bit freaked out by other people's bodily functions. But I'm freaked out by my, it's not other people. It's all bodily functions. Like, I don't like

7:14my bodily function. So the idea that someone actually now lives and uses the same like bathroom where I have to do things that are unspeakable. I don't, I don't, I don't want to deal with it. I think the whole thing is though that you can be that way until, you know, God laughs and put you in a situation like Jason, where he literally had to always surrender, which is exactly the way I was just, which is like that I, I wouldn't be good in that situation. And it's not because it's not human or because it's just because I'm embarrassed myself. I don't. Don't be embarrassed, man. This is all so natural. It is. Like what you're going through is humbling. But that's why you have a support system. You have a partner. You have friends. You have family. Like, this is what people do in life. Unfortunately, you never know what life's going to catch you. Yeah. And then when you, when you don't, you can wipe your butt in private, which is wonderful. It's wonderful. It's not too cocky. Right. But how, how would I do that? Well, if there's no one around, then things can get a little, you know, we're not really worried,

8:16you know, because eventually I'll be able to do it. Then I'll fix it. You're right. It's all good. Well, if we're not available, right? But even that, even that would, I know. I'm just, I'm a weirdo. Like I'm a weirdo. I don't like my own stuff. How am I going to do with somebody else? And then I certainly don't want somebody else dealing with my stuff on my behalf. Yeah. Jason's a weirdo in the sense that he doesn't want anyone to help him ever. Maybe not the bodily stuff. But so I think you guys are weirdos in different ways. And Jason got mad at me because I was like, Jason, like, I love you. But sometimes I feel like it don't, like, not be my friend anymore. But I feel like sometimes you have like the Jesus complex. And I'm like, it's, it's like, I'm going to give, give, give to the world. But like you won't let others give to you. She just called you Jesus. I know. I thought that was the Jesus. I mean, it is. But I'm also like, right, we got to let go and like, God on this one. No, I just don't have, I hate asking anyone for help. And I hate having to feel that like my personal stuff becomes work for other people. Let's keep going so hard. Let's keep going hard that we have to get surgery on our knee. Right. And that's why and be and be better. God put me in the position I'm in now. Well, guys, I just, I hate myself today because I don't feel good. I don't feel well. And

9:21it started last night. I got home wasn't feeling well. And so for every reason I was looking for things to watch, I finished watching jury duty on Amazon Prime, which because there's a new season coming up. This is not new. People are listening now going, yeah, dude, that was like a couple of years ago and or maybe more than that. Where you been. Why? I knew that a new season was coming. So my friend was telling me you need to watch this. It's actually pretty good. Do you, do you, have you seen this? The premise of the show is that a guy's doing jury duty and there's a documentary team following him to like get the gist of what it's like to be in a jury. But and this is not like a spoiler. But everybody involved except for him as an actor. The entire thing is fake except for him. So the whole thing is scripted. And he's the only one that doesn't know. And it's really well done. Like it's very clever. It's very funny. And it's actually very sweet. And I don't want to give too much away. But like I thought it was really was really good. And I was actually sad

10:21that the same crew of people are not in the second season from what I can tell. But they probably can't be. It can't be the same scenario because people would probably figure it out. And the fact that this guy never figured it out. And then in the in the last episode, I hope this isn't a spoiler either. They sort of show moments where the cast did screw it up because it's mostly adlib. Like where they called another actor by their real name in the midst of it. Because a lot of it's not like actual word script. Because you don't know what that guy's going to do. So it's like a general idea. But these people are all just just like improv experts. And they're really good. But there are all these moments. And he caught a few of them where he's like, why'd you call it Cassandra? Her name is whatever. And then they had like, and they were like, then there are producers in a room and we're scurrying to change the storyline to figure out a cover that screw up. And then I was really like, it's good. Anyway, I watched it and I watched all of it. So then I pivoted. Guys, I pivoted to whatever that lovers blind show is. And I hate myself. I hate myself. I hate these

11:23people. I hate them. I hate myself. And I hate these people. And I've only gotten through, I think one episode. Okay. Have you watched the whole season? My husband watches the whole season. And I like come in the room. I'm in and out. So I kind of get what's going on. But I heard that. Yeah. You guys love the dating show. He loves the dating show. Oh, so it guys. It's so bad. It's just so bad. And oh, my God. And I just like a squirm like last night episode. I'm not giving anything away either. But episode one. And I have no idea how much time is elapsed. But it can't be long. You know, because it shows like the premise of the show, if you don't know, is you've got a group of man and a group of women. And they live on like separate sides of a warehouse. And then they put them in these pods. And they go on dates and I'm using air quotes. But they there's like a partition between them. And all they can hear are each other's voices. But they don't have any concept of what the other looks like. And they're not allowed to ask. Now a lot of these guys in girls get a little crafty. You know, and they're like, so what are your what are your

12:23hobbies? Do they involve? I don't know. Like going to the gym. You know, do you enjoy lifting things? Like, you know, but you can't flat out say like, are you black or white? Are you, you know, what did you have? Whatever. You can you can hint around it. But you cannot just come out. I guess according to the rules and just be like, tell me what you look like. Are you fat? You know, or whatever, whatever you're into, whatever you're not into. You can't do. And so like last night in episode one. And again, so I don't know they have these dates. And I guess over time they can choose to spend more time, I think with certain people after they've met everybody. You know, they can be like, what? Yeah, like I had a better connection with, well, they all, I think it's all they all certain pods. Yeah. It's all pods. But then they can be like, I want more time with so and so and so. So if I think random, then you can start to like, so you know, hone in on the people that you think you might like, and then they go in the little room, the communal room with all the men and all the women. And they talk about the how who they're dating. And so you're not dating. You know, no, like, and then it's like, why I hope that so and so's not your interest because

13:27that's mine. And then they start to like, bicker over who? Okay. So last night in episode one, I can only imagine it's been a couple of days total. But this has been shooting at this point. One dude is, I love you, baby. I love you so much. I want to be with you for the rest of my weather on one day. She's crying. Oh my God. He proposes. I'm like, I'm just, I'm, I'm literally in a fetal position at this point. Yeah. I'm going, what are you doing? What are you doing? You know, and then another scene is two people who've never seen each other fighting. They start and then she goes, I don't think this is going to work. We can't be in a relationship together. You're not in a relationship. You just right. You're behind the wall. I produce your hand and you will flower from this man. You know, he's on the other side eating beef and broccoli. Yep. Yep. And I'm just going, I think anybody can get caught up in the idea. At least with the same thing is true with the bachelor, but at least on the bachelor, like you could sort of see if there's chemistry because you're like really in front of the person.

14:30But the whole thing is you're talking to someone. I get the, I get the concept. But you go in believing that you're going to leave engaged. So you're already programmed that like I'm supposed to fall in love. Like this is a sign. This is fate. And then you go in there and you're just talking to someone and then I feel like there's this rush to make sure I don't know. I don't know. I feel like it's a lot of factors. Like I feel like it's like being stripped of your job, social media, like shut out from the world. Like that's one thing. And the only people you have to talk to are like the people that you're living with and then the people that you're talking to in the pod. So that probably speeds things up. And also the kinds of people that apply are probably like, I'm sick of, you know, the dating, I'm sick of the apps, whatever. I'm ready to try something new because I do want to get married. So like it's probably a different kind of person. You know, yeah. But what did I see last night, a girl, they get into fights. She's talking to like four men, which is I don't you, I'm not judging that. Like that's the concept. That's the, that's the whole thing. You know, you juggling people until you find the people you like the best. And then they

15:30get in some kind of fight. And they're both angry. And I'm like, you don't know each other at all. Yeah, fighting with someone you just met is not personal. Like it's, I mean, it's personal, I guess, but like we're, I'm fighting with a voice. You know, then they get a fight. And then the one woman comes in sobbing over this fight with this man. She's never seen. And I'm just going, what is going like a how emotionally fragile are you? It's so upsetting. I know I can see that. And then Bella, she's, Bella, you know, are producing watching. She's been watching it. And then she, you know, I'm walking and I three steps in the door. Fred, you know, she's 18 Red Bulls ahead of me or whatever she drinks. It's like, you know, we got to talk about this. I'm like, I can't talk about this right now. I need a minute. I don't have a voice. I need a minute. I don't know. I don't know. But you can, you can bet I'll watch the whole damn thing. I mean, you can bet that I will finish it now. But it just makes me so uncomfortable. Is it a good season? I used to watch.

16:30I kind of gave up. Like I was like, this is the same song and dance every time. Yeah, that is. It's very formulaic. I don't know. I think I watched the first season. And I haven't watched any other seasons. And then I'm watching this. You watched your in COVID. I remember. Yeah, but that mean that with desperate times called for desperate messages. Oh, yeah. We were watching it. I mean, Tiger King. Come ahead. It's moment. Yeah. We're seeing a lot less of Nicholas Shay and Vanessa which I think they're very nice people. And I, you know, I'm a big 98 degrees guy like shout out to Nick, but I didn't understand their role really. Same. And I thought it's a hobby. And I was like, why are you so bothered? And I'm like, I'm that bother. And I was like, I just don't understand. I think I'm just jealous. Like I'd like to be the host of a viral Netflix series. Where all I do is come into the beginning and go, well, come everyone. And then every now and again, pop in and go, how you feeling? You know, and then, and then that's it. Like, if we don't need you for this. Oh, man, Chris Harrison job. I used to look and be like, he gets to fly across the world just to say, like, ladies, yeah, Fred, this is the final road. I mean, he steps back. Like buddy, buddy, with everybody, or you're buddy up. And if you're like, hey, how you feeling about

17:32this? You know, you know, direction is your heart leading you. Yeah, right. Right. You know, it's a best job. Yeah. And they gave it to a Jesse guy. He's hot, but he's no Chris, you know, no, it should have been one of us. Oh, it should have been one of them. I could have been you, could have been me. No one called. What's my idea doing? I just do anything. I have no idea. Anyway, it's a work. So much. I don't, I don't understand the show clearly, but what do you mean? I think I fully understand it. I just, I think it's a disaster, which is why it's great television, right? Like all the things I'm saying are the reasons why this is compelling to watch, but it makes me so uncomfortable. Like, you're ruining your life right now. And I mean, there is a success rate. I don't think it's very high. There are people who have over time, you know, I've been married and had kids and all that. And that's wonderful. But I think, I think it's a numbers guy. I think it's just, you got lucky. There's just no way. And I do understand that people could connect without ever seeing each other, but I think it's risky. And I also think we're talking about people who are on their fair, well, and apparently they're not,

18:36according to someone, if I keep watching, it gets worse than people start acting up. But in theory, you know, you're being filmed and you know the thing and you know that everyone's going to watch this. So you're really not, I don't think you're getting a truly authentic version of anybody. Because I mean, if I were on, I was thinking last night, like, first of all, these guys are so cheesy, so incredibly cheesy. And then I'm watching this going, how would I act if I were on love a spline? Because I don't know. I tend to be pretty direct. I tend to be very sarcastic. I tend to be, you'd be great, but I just work for everybody. But I don't think it would play very well. So I think you either lean into being like a villain or something, or you're not yourself, because you're putting on this, because all they can hear is your voice and all they know are your words. So like you're putting on this thing. I don't know. I don't have a poker face. So like, if I, when I saw them and like, I'm sorry, I have to think the person I'm with is hot. I'm so sorry about that. But I wouldn't be able to hate like, you know, if I was like, oh, oh, yeah,

19:39my good. I'm like, oh boy, you know, like back up. Yeah, that's probably the topic, by the way, is people are texting my love is blind. But Mike said during COVID, we watch sign spinning on ESPN, which is, I've said Jason a few of them where I'm like, you know, there's an Excel championship, like the spreadsheet software. Oh, yeah, an Excel world championship. And they're, I believe that it's shown on television and there are commentators also an email championship. Like, look, I get it. It's hard in the media these days, man. It's hard to get a gig. It's hard to get a show. It's hard to get a, you know, whatever. But if you, if I'm an aspiring sports commentator, ESPN's like, we're going to put you on an old show, bro. But here's your break. You're going to be on an old show. And you're going to do the Excel championship live from to peak at Kansas, you know, the convention center. I mean, I would do it. But like, I wouldn't feel great. You know, I agree. Fred on love is blind is a hot mess. Oh, on love is blind.

20:45Okay. Not Fred on love is blind. I agree with Fred on love is. I think you'd be a great, like, I think you'd get a lot of airtime. But I probably, yeah, like I think I would just tank my whole life. So there's sake of other people's entertainment. I would, I don't know how would you creatively figure out? Well, you don't really have a physical type. So I guess that wouldn't matter to you. But I think I would either go in with absolute sincere intention, or I would go in and I would just play everybody like, oh, I'm so into you. I'm so into you. I'm so into you. I'm so into you. I'm falling into me. And then when the girl's like, did you tell Samantha that you're falling for? I never said that. You know, I never said that like she's a liar. She's a freaking liar. And then the other girl comes in like, did you call me a liar? Dude, she's spinning stuff. Man, she's so into me. She can't help it. Like people would love it. But I would come out. I would be like security because that's another thing I'm noticing. I don't know that I've gotten more DMs about any one thing that I have about love is blind in the last 24 hours. And everyone's like, this guy's a jerk or this guy's terrible. And this guy's whatever,

21:49like again, we talked to Mark Long from road rules fame a couple of weeks ago on the tangent of you. If you watched road rules, real world, if you're of that era. And I did ask him the question. You've been on you were on that show and you've made a whole career out of it. Are you able to do anything else other than be the guy from reality TV? And his answer is no because I'm on the king of reality TV or something. He's got father. He's really like, he's decided like, I think the answer is no. I cannot be associated with anything. I could never be your dentist because people would be like, oh, that's the guy from the real world. I don't know. And he's extended it. So I guess you have to believe in yourself that hard. And maybe in this career would be a good thing. But I feel like I would need personal security out here in these streets. If I like played everybody and then tried to walk around the airport or whatever, people would be like, you're the villain. For sure. But it might be really good. I don't know. Maybe all additions. They're all much younger though. They're in their late 20s, early 30s. That voice though. The girls would go wild. That's true. Well, especially the sick one. Yeah. Yeah. They would have no idea.

22:51Honestly, I need to get in the studio and make a like a movie trailer demo right now. And then when they actually like, they're like, oh, this guy could do movie trailers. But then I'm they didn't realize I was sick. Then I have to go like link a park bench to get sick again. So I can get so I can get back to form for my movie trailer voice.
