Current Events > $50 or dinner with Fred Durst?

(+) Yeah! (+)

If you choose dinner, Fred will take you to wherever you choose. Hell also be as talkative, or not, as youd like for him to be. If you want him to sing you a Limp Bizkit classic, hell do that. If not, thats cool too.

If you make fun of him or call him names, hell roll along and be cool with it.

The dinner will last at least one hour.

Or just take the $50

I can eat more than $50.

Get in the car, Durst.

I can't eat out but hypothetically if I could eat out like before I got sick even as someone who never liked Limp Bizkit at all I really have nothing against him personally and he actually in most interviews and clips of him I ever watched seemed pretty down to earth and self aware about his success and how a lot of people disliked him and he always just seemed to not care and be cool with it which I actually respect.

So you know what? Fuck it there are a lot of really good places I could choose to eat that cost a hell of a lot more than $50 and as someone who loves food, again hypothetically if I could eat and wasn't sick then yeah fuck it i will eat out with Fred.

Not sure who he is.

The only thing I know about Fred Durst is how Super Best Friends Play kept referring to any skeleton that rolled at you in fromsoft games as Fred Durst skeletons, as well as the Fred Durst lizards in Archdragon Peak that bodied Pat during their DS3 lp.

This is so highly specific it stunned me

You literally have no exposure to Fred Durst through any other means in your life? You never heard a fucking Limp Bizkit song on the radio?

I'd probably just take the 50 dollars, but is Fred Durst even in the media or making music anymore? Early 2000s aren't that old where only references in youtube gaming would seem first exposure at though.

I suppose I could just ask him about the time he flipped off the camera at WWF Summerslam and how cool was that lol and have a "Five Guys" Hamburger in the process. Eh I'll stick with the 50 dollars. I never really liked him or his music ever, but there is that weird sort of nostalgia where I don't want to go back and get into that scene, but it would be fun to start over from there again.

The only Limp Bizkit Ive heard was from Jack in Strangers of Paradise.

Radio stations are 90% country in my area with one rock and roll station that plays Du Hast and Master of Puppets most of the time.

well
I chose Fred Durst because I assumed he's still the tough guy "fuck the man" kinda guy but I quickly realized after voting that maybe he's not. Just like how that singer from Disturbed was writing messages on Israeli bombs. So I'm regretting my vote -_-

Fred. We can at least talk about our hometown. I use to remember his mother use to be on a radio show from time to time.

In case some of ya don't know what he look like. There were way worse things done at a live event PPV too. Also this was 2012. Huh I suppose since I was over analyzing it, I didn't realize Yes, Yes, Yes was catching on by then.

I may not be a fan of his, but I have nothing against him. Id be able to get a lot more than $50 worth of food if I could go anywhere and eat and drink anything. Definitely the meal.

$50 or a dinner worth way more than $50. What a silly thing to say no to. lol

Will chocolate starfish be on the menu?

This is what he looks like now.

The rules were clearly you basically can ask Fred Durst what you want, and demand how much he can talk LOL and can go the fanciest restaurant ever and hang out with Fred for an hour or two. It could be memorable or I can just take the 50 bucks and get free pizza and wings on my own time.

I don't need to eat the finest steak ever and have people look at me and say isn't that some rando and Fred Durst.

Huh 2mer/#17 yeah that just looks like an old man. I don't think people would recognize him.

He's like mid 50's now, so yeah.

To be fair, if I went to a nice restaurant here with him, I doubt anybody would have any idea who he was.

I am surprisingly self overly too now self conscious but even still according to #17 I feel like someone would think he is a member of ZZ Top who finally aged. And just for a final salvo. I listened to classical music radio, at that. Ya saying Claudio's Boutique would have never ever heard of any "alternative" music.

I said earlier he grew up locally. People would recognize him.

The OP states hell take you anywhere you want to go. You dont have to stay local. By that logic, hell fly you anywhere in the world.

Kamil, I really dont understand what youre saying.

Money.

Glob. I don't need to hang out with him and ask him my Summerslam question just to have a very fancy dinner somewhere. Also I don't think he can time warp. Plus I am sure he could afford an executive plane ride, I don't want Fred Durst to know that I was just using him. There I said it!!!!! He can just take you to a place of choosing for an hour. The guaranteed 50 is fine.

I'll take the money.

no offense to Durst, but I've never really been a fan, so it'd just be me spending some time with a stranger, with nothing really to ask them about/talk to them with, and me mostly being uncomfortable.

I dont know what you mean by your Summerslam question, but Im sure most of us are capable of having a fancy dinner somewhere.

Not sure what you mean by time warp, but the OP doesnt say the dinner lasts an hour. It says at least one hour.

You could, of course, take the money. However, unless you find his company repugnant, theres really not much reason to as far as I can see.

I'm not interested in Durst or his music, but he's probably got some interesting stories and I can get a hell of a lot more than $50 value eating at a restaurant of my choosing.

So, yes.

He played a role in I Saw the TV Glow so he can't be all that of a terrible person in real life, I think meeting him would have more value.

TC didn't say the dinner was free.

You can't be serious, lead singer of Limp Bizkit, either that or you weren't born when they were big

Dinner all the way. I would love to ask him questions about his cinematic masterpiece, The Fanatic.

Well he's vegan now. He seems to be a pretty chill guy who wouldn't give you shit for going someplace that wasn't vegan friendly, but if you're the type to feel guilty about that, it's something to consider.

I would totally feel guilty. That said, I enjoy trying new food, and I bet he knows some really good vegan places to go. So I would ask him to recommend a place and we could just talk about whatever. I bet he has a lot of good stories about late 90s / early 2000s celebrities.

I'm guessing it's gonna be a cult classic among fans in like 10 years?

Anyway, 50 dollar dinner easily. Besides having dinner that could easily be worth more than $50, I can ask him questions to expand my knowledge and make money/expand connections. I then will have him sing me, "Behind Blue Eyes" before we part ways

He has Pro Russian views so gimme $50

It says that hes taking you. If you take somebody to dinner, you pay.

Oh I didn't know it was a date. Whenever I get a meal with others we pay for our own no matter whose idea it was or who's driving.

Weird results to this poll. I would go to some super fancy restaurant and get a really nice bottle of wine. I can then decide how much I want him to talk.

And yes, it was implied that he would pay. C'mon

I've never heard of Fred Durst either, and this post is my first time learning that he's a part of Limp Bizkit.

Only thing I know about Fred Durst is Eminem wanted to switch chairs with Christina Aguilera so he could sit next to him and Carson Daly.

Depends on if I could bring a guest. I know some people who would be pleased as punch to have a Durst Date.

Getting a meal with others is not the same as taking somebody out to dinner.

you got an imaginary friend?

Can he bring Wes, too?
Either way, I grew up with LB so itd be kinda cool.

AbstraktProfSC2 posted...

What about this are you not getting?

The difference in language suggests a difference in who is paying. If I offer to take somebody out to dinner, Im paying. If I go to get dinner with somebody, we pay for ourselves or split it evenly. If somebody offers to take me out for dinner, theyre paying.

Its pretty fucking simple, and pretty standard if you actually have dinner with other people regularly.

No offense to him but Id pay to avoid a dinner with him. Id pay to avoid dinners with most people

A free meal at any restaurant, with someone who will shut up and let me eat in peace if I decide that I don't like chatting with them? Sign me up!

Probably should have clarified in the OP, but 100% true its free to you, cost of dinner is all on Fred. Hell write it off as a business expense or something.
