Mandela Effect & The New Year - #76 · The Grounded Show

0:01
Oh fan, we back baby, the little hiater, yes, sir,
0:10
the holidays, the travel season, you hear me. No, it was
0:15
a lot going on this here. Man. I can't believe it's a big
0:18
move, the big move, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, this
0:21
is my first show in my new place. It's uh bro. The twenty
0:26
twenty three is over in literally two days. Wow. It's crazy to think
0:32
about, yeah, and crazy to think about. We started this too well.
0:35
I started this with you guys two years ago when I was just getting
0:38
settled in Vegas, and here we are embarking on year three and I'm just
0:43
getting settled back in Orlando. Crazy, right, It's a little Nutsington.
0:48
It's crazy. Like whenever you move out of town, like anybody, I
0:52
feel like the random come back home is always in play. Yeah you know,
0:57
yeah, like whenever you're out of town, Like no matter how much
1:00
you love where you're at, like that, that come home is always in
1:04
play. Like obviously it's just like you have good memories attached to home,
1:08
you know what I mean. If your memories of home are trash, you're
1:12
probably just not even gonna care about going home. But you know, when
1:15
you got family there, when you have good things, you know, good
1:19
memories and stuff. It's always in play to come back yeap, like you
1:23
talk about permanently or to visit both, you know what I mean? Like,
1:26
yeah, that's what we were talking about with the homies, like I've
1:30
had I had two three homies that moved away and they and we all came
1:34
back. That's what morning how you feel, but we all came back at
1:38
an old age. How you feel about Quincy and Ronnie? You think the
1:42
lover will come back? I don't. I don't think they would, like
1:48
I mean, I think they could, but if they didn't, it wouldn't
1:51
surprise me because specifically, It's funny you asked me that because specifically both of
1:55
them, I know that they were never attached to here here here saying central
2:00
Florida, you know what I mean. Ronnie always talked about home Hawaii,
2:06
like all the time. This wasn't home to him. Yeah it was home,
2:10
but it was it wasn't where his heart is, you know what I
2:13
mean? Like, well, home is where the heart is, so it
2:15
wasn't his home, you know what I mean? Like, this is where
2:20
my heart was always. And Quince he's not from here either. You know
2:23
what I mean. He's from you know, New Orleans, Atlanta. You
2:27
know, he's lived in a few different places. This is not necessarily home
2:30
for him either, you know what I mean. He got a lot of
2:31
people when he moved up to Georgia. He had a whole bunch of family
2:35
there, like more than I thought. I'm like, oh, dang,
2:37
like he squatted over here, you got a lot going on over there.
2:39
Yeah, man, he do. That's true. He did. He got
2:43
like all the family functions and stuff now. And that's why. If it
2:46
wasn't for my wife's family moving back that lived in Vegas, we we we
2:51
would have been all right. But because they moved back, that's all we
2:53
had. So we're like, why are we going to be the only two
2:57
out here with absolutely nobody who we do anything? We have to come visit
3:00
us. That means something in our lives. We can meet you people and
3:05
start you know, friendships up. We were fresh, and it's like to
3:08
start that kind of life where you're celebrating holidays together and doing all birthdays together.
3:15
We didn't have anybody like that over there. Yeah. I feel that
3:17
because I'm the type of person that like, I gotta I gotta create like
3:23
a long term bond with somebody before I even consider them somebody that I'll be
3:27
close to, you know what I mean. Like I've said it before on
3:29
the pod, but like time is the only thing that tells you what a
3:31
person's really about, you know what I mean. There's nothing, nothing but
3:36
time that can really tell you because what people do and their their life resume
3:39
basically is what it is, you know what I mean. And it's hard
3:43
to at least for me, Like it's hard for me to embrace people when
3:50
I have so little knowledge of them, you know what I mean. And
3:53
you really have, Yeah, you have a set of people already. It's
3:55
not like you got nobody in your life. Yeah exactly. You know you
3:59
got to say of people already that you feel that way about. So it's
4:02
like, why go through the hassle love creating that with new people? Well,
4:06
you know, the funny thing is though my friend group, like I
4:12
mean, I could say probably like everybody that I talk to on a regular
4:15
basis now, none of them are any of my original friend group. Oh
4:19
yeah, you know what I mean. Like the people that I actually like
4:23
grew up with, grew up with, I don't keep in contact with none
4:26
of them. Like it's not no issue or nothing, but it's just like
4:29
we grew up different and like everybody's on different vibes and it's not like none
4:33
of it even almost aligned, you know what I mean. Yeah, with
4:39
something like even coming out of that situation having to figure out like, okay,
4:44
like who are people that I'm going to like no, no, put
4:47
friendly trust in now, you know what I mean, Like even kind of
4:50
navigating that and creating that new friend group afterwards, you know what I mean,
4:54
Because it's like it's funny because we're in our own fantasy football league and
4:59
like a couple of homies from in there. I know them from high school,
5:02
but I literally knew them from high school, you know what I mean.
5:05
Like, Oh, Angel was the only one that I actually like hung
5:09
out with like that he pulled up to my crib, I pulled up to
5:11
his crib, you know what I mean. But like everybody else, it
5:14
was just like school friends, you know what I mean. Yeah, obviously
5:18
not down Down, you know what I mean, because Don down lived in
5:19
wrnt Worths. Bro got crazy crazy memories with Don dwn man, Like that
5:26
barbecue was so epic, man, the one that Quincy shot his video at.
5:29
Yeah, because it's like the first time I had hung out with him
5:31
like that, like in a while, you know what I'm saying. And
5:34
even before, like whenever I used to hang out with him, it was
5:38
like in a different setting, you know what I mean. It's almost like
5:41
we're like the only ones that like are from that old time that still kind
5:46
of get around the way we do, you know what I mean. So
5:50
it's like you're always gonna have that bond, you know what I mean.
5:55
It's a different understand it's a different feeling too. It's just like you feel
5:59
different around those people. Yeah, it's a fact. There's people who you
6:02
cannot see for so long and see them and it's like you don't miss a
6:05
beata, you don't get that feeling with everybody. That's my boy, Kevin
6:10
Man. He's coming back from Virginia. He hit the Navy like as soon
6:14
as high school ended in like and like the he lived in my neighborhood and
6:18
we went to school together and we were super close, you know what I
6:21
mean. Then he moved to Virginia when he joined the Navy, and he's
6:26
about to move back, you know, it's been almost twenty years, you
6:29
know what I mean, Like he's getting ready to like set up to retire
6:31
and stuff. And that's how I feel about him coming back. It's like,
6:34
Yo, I can't wait for him to come back because we've always kept
6:38
in contact throughout the years, and every time we talk it's like he never
6:40
left, you know what. I yeah, and I know, well,
6:43
I remember what, I know what he did in the Navy. Do you
6:45
remember where Virginia he lives. He's he's done two different bases in Virginia.
6:50
Like, he was in one base in Virginia and then they gave him orders
6:54
to go to a different base in Virginia. Then they moved that was like
6:57
a couple hours away. So he's he's done a couple of you know where
7:00
though, because I've been there twice. That's where I was two weeks ago.
7:05
That's why I spent the week. I literally was thinking about it.
7:08
I was like wonder if and I wonder if Doggren, where I went two
7:11
years ago, was the one before that. Those are the two main Navy
7:13
bases out there, Norfolk. Yeah, yeah, he probably wasn't both,
7:15
I'll ask him. Yeah. Yeah, it's funn in Norfolk. Norfolk was
7:19
cool. Uh, And I'll tell you right now. I went with a
7:24
bunch of navy dudes. And if he's moving back, I know why.
7:28
It's ain't ship out there. Why yeah, yeah, facts, Yeah,
7:31
ain't nothing out there. And they warned me about it when we got there.
7:34
Yeah, we pretty much had dinner. We all we had was uh,
7:40
Chili's on the base and McDonald's and Taco Bell next to us. Is
7:44
pretty much it. Yeah, but end of the year, man, I'm
7:48
so glad all that shit's over. Like everything is slow weing down. You
7:54
know. We had I had the move. I had a week at the
7:57
conference saying that internet drive. I had the move to Florida. Then I
8:03
had a week in Norfolk, and then I had to move into the apartment
8:07
where all our shit from Vegas finally showed up here immediately back to back to
8:13
back to back, and now officially, as of today, I'm done and
8:18
everything is over. And that's why Saturday is the first day in a long
8:22
time where I'm doing nothing all there but just enjoying being here and doing nothing
8:28
for the first time in a lot of days. Yeah, that's always a
8:31
dope vibe, man, Like I love those. When you get those Saturdays,
8:35
you just get to chill, you know what I mean, and kind
8:37
of nothing playing. That's why when Quincy said Saturday, you know, shout
8:41
out to Quincy. We wish we could have waited, but I was like,
8:45
Saturday's perfect because I literally I said, why we got playing? She's
8:48
like, nah, we ain't doing nothing. I say, I love that
8:50
for us, Yeah, nothing nothing. Yeah. It's it's funny, man,
8:54
because the way everything kind of worked out, Like everybody I kind of
8:58
know had their like hectic season towards the end of the year, but for
9:03
me, it was flipped, you know what I mean, with opening the
9:03
salon and stuff. So like the beginning of the year was great. Yeah.
9:07
So like I've kind of gone like real chill into the new year,
9:11
you know what I mean. I've just been kind of taking it. I've
9:15
really just been on my like get ahead for next year type vibes, you
9:18
know what I mean. Yeah, No, that's good. And that's why
9:20
it's like, it's good that you did that as you're rolling into the new
9:24
year. So you're going into the new year with with stuff already in the
9:28
works, you know what I'm saying, And well, I wish I would
9:31
have had that at the time, didn't allow for that. But I get
9:35
to go into the new year with a fresh, clean slate of time in
9:39
order for me to get rolling in there. And I'm looking so forward to
9:43
get in my bag and get into my creative bag I've been talking about.
9:46
Now this is the first start even set up my camera and I'm loving the
9:50
setup. So I'm a stream back there, well, turntables, I got
9:54
my vinyls. I'm stream here with the video games, you know what I'm
9:58
saying, So like getting the content it ready. Now everything's set up.
10:01
I got my setup done. Man, it's it's so it's it's still perfect
10:05
timing for me because, like I said, rolling into next week in the
10:09
new year, they got a clean slate. It's nothing else like, oh
10:11
damn, I got some mouse on my list, I gotta worry about.
10:13
Everything's been knocked out already. So it's a good thing. It's a good
10:18
feeling, yeah, man, And it's dope because you can kind of like
10:22
set up a whole new routine, you know what I mean. Oh yeah,
10:24
settling into a new place, you're settling into just moving out here,
10:28
you know what I mean. From being in Vegas. So you're literally going
10:31
into it where it's like you have your routine, but then you also have
10:35
your you know, you know, you're in a different situation, so you
10:39
have your with with everything to just say, hey, you know, I'm
10:41
gonna add this, I'm gonna take this away, you know what I mean.
10:43
Yeah, so everything is bringing you and and one thing about working somewhere
10:54
with a bunch of people, going into a workplace with a bunch of people
10:58
ooping doing stuff for so long and you try to bring change and you get
11:03
the oh, well, we've been doing like this way and it works,
11:07
so why change it? And I feel like mentally we fall into that sometimes,
11:11
like we don't want to change habits or routines because what we've been doing
11:16
has been working so long. So when you're forced to do that, when
11:18
you're put in a branding situation where you absolutely cannot follow that same routine,
11:24
I think that's that's a fresh state of mind. That's this is your chance,
11:28
which is my chance to start something new and start something new and do
11:33
it the right way. Everything that I've been doing, even though I thought
11:37
it was the right way, there's something else I wish I could have done
11:41
better. Now I get the chance to, like officially as of this weekend,
11:45
as soon as that new year rings in, it's that new routine.
11:48
Who and wife, you feel the same way, and like from what we're
11:52
eating, from what we're drinking, from what we're doing, from how we're
11:56
living our day to day, it's going to be completely different than it was
11:58
for the last three years. And I'm very excited for that. Yeah,
12:03
that's dope, man. It's funny. Bro Lately, I've been seeing a
12:07
lot of like different content popping up that's like all been kind of based in
12:13
the Mandela effect, you know what I mean. Like there's been like a
12:16
whole bunch of different topics coming up, Like I don't know if you saw
12:20
where they talked about a Shazam movie with Simba, and I believe it.
12:26
I believe that movie was there and they got the the thing about food of
12:33
the Loom. You know that the logo was different or whatever, that it
12:35
was in a little basket or something. But it's funny, man, because
12:39
like I'll be seeing that a lot of people will be showing like evidence and
12:45
it's funny to me just thinking that somebody would need other people to validate that
12:52
kind of thing, you know what I mean. Like, it's like,
12:54
if you know it really happened and you have evidence of it, like,
12:58
what are you trying to defend? Well, I think because everybody that's how
13:05
we are personally in chat rooms, you know what I'm saying. Like,
13:07
if we said we heard something like well proof you got, we're like,
13:11
oh, well, I got twenty five other motherfuckers on the Internet who think
13:15
the same thing. I think. You know, so today's day, you
13:18
have that resource that you didn't have maybe thirty years ago when the Internet wasn't
13:22
out where it's just one crazy person saying this happened. They're like, now,
13:24
bro, we don't believe you. You need more people, you know,
13:28
jay Z, you need more people like proof that tell me someone else
13:33
who thinks that now, Because there's so many motherfuckers on the internet with all
13:37
their ideas and everybody. That's why it baffles me. Is the Google auto
13:43
search thing. You know, you're like, how did this person? And
13:46
it feels out exactly what you're thinking. You're like, I'm not the only
13:48
one who's asking this question. So that's why the Mendel effect. I think
13:54
it's different in these days, it's more adult because something like it is like
14:01
such a resource, you know what I mean, like with so many people
14:05
writing in it like every day and posting different things like and you're just kind
14:09
of seeing like the way other people went through things and the memories that they
14:16
have, you know, and we've all seen it, like little memes that
14:18
pop up that you'd be like, bro, I'm not the only one that
14:22
felt like this when I was five, you know what I mean, And
14:24
it'd be mad people in the comments, like, dang, I thought I
14:28
was the only one, like a whole bunch of people. You know what
14:30
they call the Mandela effect, right, yeah, because like everybody kind of
14:35
like collectively remembers something that never happened, and they make it like why did
14:39
they name it after him? I don't know. Everybody thought he was either
14:43
locked up his whole life or dead. That's the Mandela And yeah, and
14:50
then he wasn't. That was absolutely not true statement. But everybody really believed
14:56
that about him, and that's when they're Mandela effect. That's why they named
15:01
it after Nelson Mandela. And that kind of ties into what you're talking about
15:05
with like not having the Internet and stuff before you know what I mean.
15:07
Yep, that's why it even became a thing because there was nobody to verify
15:11
it with. Yeah, there's a there, bro, that's one thing.
15:15
And the Shazam thing was one. I remember watching the uh Simbad right,
15:20
it was that Simbad was in the Shazam movie, and everybody said that it
15:24
was actually shack right. So what I think it is? I haven't.
15:30
I haven't looked it up, cause damn cause damn yeah, because Zamn is
15:33
the Shaq movie. I think that just did another movie like in that time
15:37
that had that kind of like attire and it was kind of like the same
15:41
vibe kind of movie, you know what I mean. Because you can't find
15:45
it though. But you know how Hollywood they always make like similar movies around
15:48
the same time. I mean, everybody, I can't find it. Now,
15:52
Let's let's see what movie uh Simbad was it? What's the filmography?
15:58
There we go. I'm about to look this up and see because there had
16:03
to be one like that. He he dressed that way, you know what
16:07
I mean. I looked, Bro, I looked it up. I looked.
16:10
I'm the biggest support of it was Sindbad and you know, I feel
16:15
like, but now because people can photo shop and create random stuff, I
16:21
feel like someone created it was because it wasn't even the real clip. It
16:25
was the cell phunk footage of a clip of Sindbad dressed as a genie.
16:30
Yeah, I'm telling you, brou it has to be. It has to
16:36
be from some kind of like show or something that he did where he dressed
16:41
like that, you know what I mean, like and he did that that
16:42
same like kind of concept. Let me see I'm looking up. Yeah,
16:49
Olso it was nothing man that looked dead. Yeah, everybody thought he was
16:52
dead and he wasn't. So once everybody found out he was alive, they're
16:56
like, nah, he died. He's been dead, Like everybody believes he's
16:59
been dead and he wasn't. Oh oops, Like did it again the Britney
17:03
Spears video. She had a headset on in that video, right, I
17:10
don't really remember to be honest, all right, Well, she's never had
17:12
a headset on that video. Jeffy. It's never ever said Jeffy in the
17:18
logo. It's only said jiff The Jiffy logo has never had the whole world's
17:26
the whole world sped out right now, that was here, right, It's
17:30
never had the whole jiffy words spell out on the on the actual peanut butter
17:34
camp. It's only said ever for life. It's only ever said Jeff.
17:41
That's w all right. Nice scratching his head now, nice scratches. Looney
17:45
Tunes was te tunes like music tunes. It was never tunes like cartoons.
17:52
Okay, yep. The all the bearstem Bears, Oh yeah, I mean
18:00
that. I remember it was like the spelling of it. It's never been
18:03
with the e. It's always been with it a the bear stains bears,
18:07
but it was pronounced bear stains. But yeah, the bear steam bears has
18:11
never existed ever. Yeah. I feel like it's like we we just assumed
18:17
things are a certain way in our head and our mind like tricks us into
18:19
thinking that's how it was, you know what I mean. Curious George the
18:23
Monkey did he have a tail? I don't know. Okay, he had
18:30
a water park at Universal, but he's never had a tail, and people
18:34
always thought he had a monkey tale coming out. He's never had a tail.
18:38
Bro Oh, Sex and the City, I knew that one. Uh
18:44
for breeze, oh for breeze? Is it two e's or one e oney.
18:51
Yeah, everybody always thought it was uh two we I mean two weeks.
18:56
Yeah. Oscar Mayer was never Oscar Mayer has always been out mayor.
19:00
Yo. It's funny. One of those one of those experiences I had was
19:04
for a long time I would call the cool ranch Doritos cooler ranch. So
19:11
I will always call them cooler Ranch, and everybody be like, yo,
19:15
what is that. Like, I'm like, They're called cooler Ranch Doritos.
19:18
And then I looked at them and I'm like, do you say cool ranch?
19:21
Like what the heck? Yeah? But come to find out, they
19:25
did like a campaign. I guess at a certain time when like the Nacho
19:30
cheese ones were nacho cheesier and then the cool ranch were cooler Ranch, like
19:33
they made you know what I mean, And it was just I guess at
19:37
that time was probably like the first time I really gots or something, so
19:41
it just stuck with me, like cooler red. Now I've been boss depausing
19:45
Doritos since like ninety nine, so I know it was always cool ranch yo.
19:51
Yo. When when we talked about this the other day in the chat,
19:56
Taco Bell really dropped a Doritos taco and the meal was two dollars.
20:03
It was a toritos, taco, a drink, and what was it the
20:07
chips? Ye, little nachos. No, no, no, a bag
20:11
of chips that's what it was. Oh no, a bag of doritos,
20:15
that's what it was. A two dollar meal, Bro, two dollar meal,
20:18
a bag of doritos, a taco, and a drink two dollars at
20:22
Taco Bell. Bro, that's crazy, dog. That was like the craziest
20:29
deal of you know. I went the other day to Taco Bell with my
20:30
son. We spent nineteen dollars. Bro. Yeah, Taco Bell with my
20:36
son. Bro. That don't even make no sense. He's ten dog.
20:40
Tacobo used to have the dollar menu too. They didn't call it dollar menu
20:44
because well they had a dollar mine less than a dollar. I remember the
20:48
soft taco was seventy nine cents. Seventy nine sounds just about it. Say
20:52
that. I remember we used to we used to hoop. Three of my
20:55
homies. We used to hoop and his dad used to take his tacobo after
20:57
hoop it. I've tacos each fight out, his fight out his fight dollars,
21:02
but less than twenty bucks. We had twenty tops mortgage board. Bro,
21:07
let's go. But we were talking about it the other day too,
21:10
like over here in Orlando, there's like an area in East Orlando there's a
21:14
wing spot and they used to have a sign up that said wing Wednesdays.
21:18
Ten cent wings Bro, ten cent wings. I think about that, Yo,
21:25
I think about it, like, why was I a kid? Then?
21:29
Why was I a child? Dog? You go with a dollar and
21:33
get ten wings? Yeah, ten wings for a dollar. And I remember
21:37
when it changed because we were talking about it too. Maryland Fried Chicken,
21:42
shout out Dean Bro, Maryland Fried Chicken. I remember we was out of
21:47
high school and we hadn't gone there in a while, and we're like,
21:51
yo, let's just pick up a grip of Maryland Fried Chicken everybody. And
21:55
what we used to cost like twenty twenty five bucks, it rang up like
21:57
fifty bucks and we're like, no, no, no, we ain't order
22:00
that much. They're like, yeah, you ordered this this They were like
22:03
that costs fifty bucks. Now they're like yeah. We're like all right,
22:07
it was probably last time we ever coming here. Bro. And that's like
22:11
a dollar apiece at some places. Someplace it's like a dollar twenty five each
22:15
bro for yep. Yeah, Now I remember, like there's this new Italian
22:21
spot right not you in time, there's an Italian spot that we haven't been
22:22
to right up the street eighteen ninety nine for a ten piece. You used
22:30
to go to Katas right up the street n ninety times. Oh no,
22:34
yeah, back in the day. Yeah, that was the back of the
22:37
day. Then it raises to seven ninety nine, and then nine ninety nine.
22:41
I think now it's like sixteen bucks or something. Yeah, yeah,
22:44
no, they I don't know if it is it really the price of chicken.
22:48
There's more chicken in the world than they are humans. Is it really
22:51
the price of chicken or bro? Maybe we're the chicken. But yeah,
22:57
it's crazy. How shit you to be back then and it is now,
23:03
and but it also could be popularity now. So back then there wasn't that
23:07
many customers. People really know about these places. So as social media comes
23:12
about, and then it comes about it like oh go to this spot and
23:15
you can get twenty piece for nine dollars. You know who'll be having a
23:21
good good wing deals And this is a deep cut. This is only for
23:23
the people like in Orlando Marco's pizza dog. Damn. I never had their
23:30
wings, Marco's Pizza. They got a few, They got a few around,
23:33
like, they're pretty popular, and they got good tasting wings and they're
23:37
very fairly priced. Dn, you're not a gatekeeper. Oh no, of
23:41
course not. So you ever heard a Tory Tory pub down on Mills?
23:48
Yeah, isn't that the place we talked about? Oh shit? So yeah,
23:52
my bad. Wow we had in that conversation about But then you see
23:57
Fab drop the freestyle and shot a vide at the one in Orlando. Yes,
24:02
oh that's dope. Yeah, and he's like, first Stop Orlando got
24:07
all the shorties. First stop were passing by Tory Tory. Everybody's tight because
24:12
it's so hard to get a table there now because it's open that fire,
24:17
and they're like, we're never going to get a table there, like nobody's
24:21
ever going to be able to go there again. And that's what I tell
24:23
you. So when you told me, so here's a conversation, let's say
24:26
about it. He told me service was terrible. I said check. He
24:33
said the food came out of all different times. I said check. And
24:37
that's everything I've ever heard about that place for years and that's what it is.
24:41
But I heard the food quality and more specifically, if you in a
24:45
certain kind of food, if you have an acquired taste for a certain kind
24:51
of food, that's the place to go for there. And that's my kind
24:53
of food. So that's why I was like, I'm still gonna go.
24:57
I don't care, I am listen, I'm still going. And I ran
25:02
to the same thing he ran into. We ordered the rights to eat with
25:04
all our meat paws, and we got the rights at the very end,
25:08
and it was like that could have been better, but at the same time,
25:12
it's expected. So and I went there right at five with it.
25:17
It literally opens right at five pm. Open. That's crazy. Yeah,
25:21
it opens that five. That's not even open the all day. And I
25:22
showed up right at five, had to parking spire right in the front door,
25:26
and I still had that same kind of interaction. Took him about twenty
25:30
minutes to get our drinks. But the food was amazing. What I never
25:34
even heard of it. Like when I met with somebody there and when he
25:37
gave me the address, I just put it in my I mean when he
25:41
told me the place, I just put in my GPS and went to that
25:42
I don't even know what it was, you know. Yeah, the thing
25:45
with me funny stories that now, But real quick, my thing with it
25:49
is just this. I don't like overpaying for food if I'm not going to
25:53
have a good experience, you know what I mean. I don't like overpaying
25:57
for food period. But if I am service better be good. The service
26:00
got to be good because I'm I cooked, you know what I mean.
26:03
Like I like to make my own food. So it's like, if I'm
26:06
going to step out and and pay the extra for you know, the out
26:11
the outside dining experience, I want to have a good time, you know
26:15
what I mean. That's a big thing for me, you know what I
26:18
mean. Yeah, that's why there's people who pay for the experience and get
26:22
get you know, good enough food, and there's people who pay for the
26:26
food and get mediocre service. But you know, the going there for two
26:30
different reasons. Like I woant to ever say go there. That place is
26:33
great, you know, the environment, you know, the environment is dope,
26:37
but the service does suck. The way the food comes us, they're
26:40
gonna take a minute, and it's pricey. But for what I had,
26:45
that shit was busted, And like me, and wife feel good. And
26:47
that's just saying the whole stort. Backstory, was it that our first date
26:51
in Orlando was trying to take it there to tell her I was a lover
26:53
her and I want to marry her, and we couldn't get in because we
26:56
were went too late. So we was always suck about. We got to
27:00
go there one day and now that we went there, it was cool.
27:03
But she could care less about going back. She care less about going back.
27:07
I'm going to go back again, but if she don't want to go
27:08
back, I ain't gonna go back with myself. But yeah, that's the
27:12
main reason, like you and Quinsey was like yeah, yeah, it's like
27:15
I don't care be going Yeah, man, Like I don't even like going
27:22
out to eat like period, you know what I mean. My wife likes
27:25
it and that's the only reason I do it, like just to you know,
27:29
you know, you gotta a piea, you gotta do the apisle,
27:33
you know what I'm saying. But like for me, like I don't mind
27:36
getting takeout somewhere I don't like I mean, I don't mind like certain type
27:41
of restaurants, you know what I mean. But like overall, just like
27:45
going out to eat. It's not my thing at all, like not even
27:48
almost. Yep, now that is that is my thing. But with my
27:56
wife, she gets tired of restaurants really easy. Like I said, she's
28:00
more like that, but I forced, I'm the enforcer. Like now we're
28:03
going up somewhere where we're going and I come up with these labor restaurants.
28:07
It's just like, nah, let's just pick something we've already been to and
28:10
we already like him, Like, yeah, I like like my types of
28:15
places are like places that specialize in takeout, you know what I mean,
28:19
like Spanish bakeries, Spanish delis. Yeah, but see, those are the
28:26
good spots. And that's why I'm I see you. I'm glad you're not
28:27
a gatekeeper because those little spots are the spots of they're really good food too.
28:33
Yeah, that's what I like. I like them little like random places
28:36
that have been there forever. It's not expensive because it's the truth because uh
28:40
huh, that just that. I just like that real good food, bro,
28:42
Like yeah, you know what I mean. Quincy's real good about that
28:47
too, especially like out in out in Georgia. Bro, whenever we go
28:49
out there, he knows all the like firefire spots, you know what I
28:52
mean. Yeah, I went to this spot by the airport and we could
28:56
wrap it up here with this talk. I went to the spot by the
28:59
airport and it's called I Love New York Pizza. And my coworker takes in
29:03
Orlando. Yeah, Orlando Dog, that's the best pizza place in Orlando.
29:08
My part worker don't even live here, and he's been going there for ten
29:11
years every time he's in town. Best pizza place, loner knew him.
29:15
Yo, three twenty five, shortball, dude, Right, yeah, dude,
29:19
three twenty five, but two slices of Minnesota bruh, best pizza ever
29:26
tastes. A matter of fact, I'm gonna take as David mar dog best
29:29
pizza. When my daughter was small, we lived on Summer and that's like
29:33
East Orlando, and I lived like literally like six minutes from there. Bro,
29:38
we used to eat that spot all Yo. They had this combo.
29:42
It was a pizza, garlic knots and wings. Bro. The joint was
29:48
eighteen ninety nine dogs pizza, garlic knots, and the order of wings like
29:53
a twelve order of wings. Dog pizza, garlic knots and twelve Wings eighteen
29:59
ninety nine. Bro. Yeah, we walked in there, like I said,
30:03
three twenty five because I wasn't that hungry and they were big slices,
30:07
so three twenty five. I got a slice and a soda. And it's
30:10
funny because I got a fountain soda and it was like mister Pepper or like
30:17
fine to you know. It wasn't even the real soda, but it was.
30:19
It tasted the same. But I saw the garden nous. I didn't
30:22
get them. I saw they had beef patties. And I will ta to
30:26
drive out there to meet you out there, and we might need That might
30:30
where we need to be because she hasn't been there. I need to take
30:32
care there. That might be where we do it. I'll go with with
30:36
Wifey. We the double date dogs. If I told her, Yo,
30:40
we're gonna go out of New York, She's gonna be like, oh my
30:41
god, it's crazy. And I was like, that's crazy. Like I
30:45
drove by this street all the time. I've never known there, and he's
30:48
like, yeah, I've been coming for ten years. I was like,
30:49
bro, you don't even live here. And as soon as the owner came
30:52
out, he's like, hey, what's up and talking to my coworker,
30:55
and I was like, damn you for really it's like I told you no,
30:57
games like those are the spots that still exists. I've been going from
31:03
there since literally they opened, Like I remember when they built that spot in
31:06
that plaza, and like literally from the very beginning, I used to go
31:10
there and when I worked at the airport when I was younger, Bro,
31:12
I used to always get pizza from there, like on my break. Oh
31:17
my gosh, Bro, I'm glad I experienced it late. But that's one
31:22
place that is going to be on the list when we want a night's good
31:23
cheap meal to get stopped. Pauls Man, it's a good drive from It's
31:29
like ten minute drive from where we live. Yeah, man, you've been
31:33
an okay one on Yeah. Yeah, I don't know how it is now,
31:37
but back in the day that place used to slap slap. Yeah,
31:41
that place. I think it's funny because that's the first time I've got Columbian
31:47
food, and my wife's Colombian and I never dated Colombian women, never ate
31:52
Colombian food. So now that I know what that whole cuisine is, I'm
31:56
more interested in going there, but she grew up more in a south side
32:00
and there's actually went over there by Florida Mall. We passed by. That's
32:02
a brand. Okay, that's dope. That's something funny about like living out
32:07
here and being from out here that all these Spanish spots all over the place,
32:10
and then like every time I visit anywhere else, dog, they don't
32:14
got nothing Spanish anywhere, like in the in the walmarts, like nothing,
32:19
dog, Like, the don't have Spanish stuff, like, for example,
32:22
like in Cali, obviously they have like a lot of Mexican stuff, Puerto
32:27
Rican stuff. It's like, oh man, that's hard to come by.
32:29
Bro. We didn't have one Puerto Rican restaurant in Vegas and we had one
32:32
Cuban spot, crazy Dog Crazy. There's a Puerto Rican spot next out of
32:37
New York piece. So you've been there. Yeah, that used there used
32:40
to be uh what's it called, uh the Barbecue Place, the Puerto Rican
32:47
Barbecue Place. It still is, yeah, yeah, they just rebranded it,
32:51
but it's the same thing. Yeah. I never knew that was there
32:53
either. I want to try that. What was the name before it turned
32:57
into Matt's Barbecue before that, but before that it was something else. It
33:01
was. It was a Spanish name, but they had like a whole bunch
33:05
of them around. That's what the There's a place called Ledlows near me,
33:08
the fire Puerto Rican food, the best Puerto Rican food dog. And it
33:13
used to be that place back in the day too. I can't I can't
33:16
remember the name. Man. It was like it might have been my Thales
33:19
Barbecue because it was just it was just like the Spanish version of mad I
33:22
think, yeah, I think it was my Thales Barbecue or something like that.
33:27
But anyway, dog that place it turned into a few different like Spanish
33:30
spots, and that place is the gas bro because they had like they had
33:36
the chicken recipe dog, you know what I mean. And like the places
33:38
that were that place that turned into something else. They kept the same chicken
33:43
recipe in the same process and they got the same rotistory of It's like it's
33:46
the same thing as before. I'd say, and I'm already hungry thinking of
33:52
that dog. You go in there, bro. I always get the family
33:55
meal from there. I pull up like early in the morning, like Arono,
33:59
Well not early in the morning, but early for lunch, you know
34:00
what. I mean, I'll be there like ten thirty or something. Dog,
34:04
there's a line out the door already, and they got hundreds of chickens
34:08
just turning in the Yeah, like hundreds. You're like, dog, they're
34:12
gonna get through all that chicken. And sure enough, at the end of
34:15
the day they run out. Bro. It's like, oh my gosh,
34:20
Dog, there's no way I won if they have the leftover chicken the next
34:23
day, like high school used to have the leftover pieces. Bro, I'm
34:27
telling you there's no such thing. They run out, dog like if you
34:30
go like too late in the night, they don't have anything left. Dog.
34:34
Yeah, we just put they know of us, know, we just
34:37
put mad people onto the spot. Yeah. Facts, if you're from Orlando,
34:40
you just came up for sure. And then there's there's a couple of
34:45
different versions of this place. But I said Rancho, but the one off
34:50
Samarron, not the one ghost. Yeah, it's a it's a Mexican spot,
34:57
not the one that there's one downtown, same name. But then there's
35:01
an like you stayed that mad Spanish? I think, he said Rancho.
35:08
I feel like there's a no, that's crazy Tacos a Rancho in Vegas.
35:13
It's this one here too. I never heard of this one. Yeah,
35:19
that's one of the chickasaw And then there's one off like Hoffner and Kanye there
35:24
goes. That's the one that's the because I've been to all of them,
35:28
but the Knaway and Hoffner one, that's the one and bro And that's what
35:34
I'm excited too. Like I say, you know, we had so much.
35:37
We had all the you know, regular cuisine from everywhere else, but
35:42
as far as Spanish food, all we had was Mexican. Yeah, and
35:45
it was just like, uh, franchise Mexican. So it was that's how
35:52
we were filled with And I know that's not like that here, Like we
35:57
had a Habenaros. There's a Habenaros real here and it's happened Arrows in Vegas,
36:01
and the one here's nothing like that one. Yeah. And I'm excited
36:06
to try all this food over here, man for sure. Yeah. Man,
36:09
they just open up like an authentic boba spot near us too. And
36:14
my wife loves boba. I like it a lot too, but she really
36:16
really likes it. Yeah. Yeah, they just open like a real like
36:21
dope spot near us. I always get the Vietnamese coffee with the coffee jellies.
36:25
I never I've never had it, and I hear how popular it is.
36:29
Boba's fired, bro, but it has to be from a good place
36:32
because if you get a whack boba, you're gonna be tight because you're gonna
36:37
spend like seven or eight bucks. So the little balls in the pause like
36:42
beans, So there's different cons like when you have boba. There's like the
36:45
ones that are kind of like like a hard jelly that's like the traditional kind
36:51
of boba. Then they got the palpable ones that is basically like a jelly
36:57
ball, you know what I mean, with liquid inside. And then the
37:00
ones I get is they're called coffee jellies, like they got. They're called
37:05
jellies because they're basically like little slices of jello. Got so you consume everything
37:10
in that cup when you leave, you leave the million, you eat everything.
37:14
Because the way I get it is I get the coffee jellies, So
37:17
basically it's like coffee that they turn into like a jello, so it has
37:22
that on the bottom, and I get a Vietnamese coffee slush and then it's
37:29
basically coffee jellies with a coffee slush on top. Oh my gosh, bro,
37:32
kind of sounds a yeah, it's fire bro, and it's Vietnamese coffee,
37:37
like they brew it and then put it in the thing and then make
37:39
the slush so it's like like a coffee like you know. And if you
37:44
never have these coffee Vietnamese, I don't think I've ever had it. That's
37:46
something that probably never had. You know what they do the list, You
37:50
know what they do. They put condensed milk in it, so they don't
37:52
put sugar milk and it basically a semur and the sugar Bro. Yeah,
38:04
that's not like it hit different. Yeah, Yo, shout out to Ronnie.
38:07
Ronnie was the one that put me on the Vietnamese food. He put
38:12
me onto Vietnams before, like like you were going there and it would just
38:15
be like a low key spot, you know what I mean. It was
38:19
the original one that was like the road. Yeah, like ull Rone University.
38:22
Was it like that original one? Yep? We would go there,
38:25
bro, super low key. There was mad tables available, Oh my gosh,
38:31
bro. And that place was amazing. Bro. Yeah. They put
38:35
one over on my side a little more east and colonial. Put my parents
38:39
on to there. They still go there almost every other week. That one's
38:43
good too. That one is just as good as the original one. And
38:45
I like how I was a dude that we went to high school with.
38:49
Matter of fact, that opened up. Nah, yeah, it's one of
38:52
Ronnie's people's. That's crazy he was. I didn't know him, but I
38:57
know he went to Oh you know what I mean. But Ronnie actually was
39:00
like cool. No. I like their concept smart little spots like that,
39:05
because I know, like DomU has had something like that. There's like two
39:08
locations and each location has something significant that the other one doesn't have, so
39:14
it forces people to make the drive out to the other one no matter how
39:16
much you like it. If you want this, you gotta come over here.
39:20
Oh that's dope. Yeah. Yeah. My my side mission in life
39:23
is to open a little spot like got I got a concept of everything,
39:27
Like I've had this idea for like mad years, dog, and I'm just
39:30
like, it's not something that I'm actively pursuing because I have other things that
39:34
I'm pursuing that that's more important to me. But it's like my big side
39:37
mission. You know, when Grand Theft Potto, when you beat the game
39:39
and the side missions. Yeah. I once I'm ready to start picking up
39:45
the payphones. That's what I'm going to start thinking about this spot. I'm
39:49
the same way I suck at my little bar. I've been watching bar Rescue
39:52
for eighteen years. I'm gonna oh and you know it's gonna be called the
39:58
spot, the spot, I mean had spot. You know, I tell
40:04
everybody by that ship, I feel like I know everything I need and I
40:07
think, like I said, like me and you know what we know,
40:10
and we know we can do something good just when the time's ready, we
40:15
can do it. But as far as making it good, we know we
40:17
can do that. Yeah, yeah, facts fact yeah man. That that
40:22
like you were saying, the idea behind vietnams is like a super dope concept.
40:28
And I like stuff like that and I appreciate stuff like that too,
40:30
Like you know when they open like a unique kind of spot and figure out
40:35
a way to give you good food and a way that is profitable for them
40:40
but also a bang for your buck, you know what I mean. Like,
40:44
that's that's the kind that's the thing. Bro. It's so funny,
40:46
man, Like this is kind of random, but we'll kind of like start
40:50
winding down with this. But I see, like I've always made my money
40:55
like dealing with business people, you know what i mean, Like business to
40:59
business type things, you know what i mean. So I've always kind of
41:04
seen like the way people operate, and it's not even anything that's like a
41:07
secret. It's not anything that's like they're like gatekeeping anything from anybody. Like
41:13
as far as like being successful, it just really is like taking your time
41:16
to come up with a really good idea, making sure the idea is rock
41:21
solid, and hitting your goals to achieve it, you know what I mean.
41:24
Like it's just the same boring stuff that everybody like thinks, like we
41:29
always talk about it, bro Like it's boring to like make something happen because
41:34
it's just like work, you know what I'm saying. And there's no like
41:37
cool thing about work people. I feel like that's what everybody's trying to do
41:43
with like content and social media and stuff, is like how can I make
41:46
the ugly part of what I'm doing look as cool as possible? Yeah,
41:51
you know what I mean. And it's just funny to me because it's like
41:54
that that's what we all you know what I'm saying. Everybody's just trying to
41:58
work through the ugly part, you know what I mean. And I think
42:01
that's the quality over quantity, and the smart business people like these spots we've
42:07
been talking to mapping open for years and everybody's say, oh, it's so
42:09
busy, why don't you open a new one. It's because that's not what
42:13
we're trying to do exactly. We don't just want to multiply and multiplier,
42:15
but we want to lock y'all into the spots that we have, force you
42:20
to go there, force you to wait and enjoy your shit. And that's
42:23
the thing man, Like we always We've been talking about it a lot lately,
42:28
just from the point of view of like so many places like and go
42:30
of employees, and it's like, yeah, because they get greedy. They
42:32
start making all this money and they say, oh, the money's here.
42:37
While it's here, we got to maximize it. They start expanding in ways
42:40
that they know they can't sustain, and then they just wait for the for
42:44
the other shoot to fall to then just start making tough decisions. And it's
42:47
like then you have other places like what we're talking about, where it's like,
42:51
all right, you make a certain business model, it works. You
42:54
figure out how you can do it where it's manageable, where you're making good
42:58
money, where you still you know control it, and still you know quality
43:01
control. Bro. It's like the most important thing, you know. That's
43:04
why chick fil A is Chick fil A dog, because number one thing for
43:08
them is quality control. Anywhere you go in the freaking nation, dog,
43:13
any world trip, anytime I've taken a flight, anytime I've ever gone to
43:16
Chick fil A anywhere, Dog, it tastes like the one down the street
43:20
from my house, and it was hitting every time. Bro. You can't
43:22
say that about other fast food joints now. And that's it's funny because and
43:28
it's so good you no matter where you go. If they messed up and
43:30
live a little bit. Like one time we didn't get a Chick fil A
43:34
saus was like, damn, bro, we expected more from y'all. Yeah,
43:38
and you only have like those experiences that you can only count like on
43:42
one hand, only a couple of fingers, you know what I mean,
43:45
exactly like McDonald's or Wendy Order. I'd be like, oh, typical,
43:47
yeah, fast, typical. But if Chick fil A is like come on
43:52
from you, you feel mad yeah, come on, I expect it more
43:55
from you now that what happened to me literally the other day at Chick fil
43:59
a that I was like thrown off. And it's funny because when you hear
44:02
you're gonna be like it's not even like a bad thing, but like we
44:06
asked for extra buffalo sauce, and when they gave us the buffalo sauce dog,
44:10
they gave like twenty buffalos, bro, and we're like, dang,
44:15
God, like seriously, Twenny, Like there's not even enough nuggets in here
44:19
to justify like you know what I'm saying, there's like extra buffalo sauce again,
44:25
yeah, bro, And even that is like, oh, they just
44:28
you know, gave you more than you asked for, you know what I
44:30
mean. But yes, yeah, next next episode, we're gonna have the
44:37
the Three Amigos return back again. We're getting through the you know, New
44:44
Year's coming up, so we're getting through the holiday stretch. Everybody's always like
44:47
so into the holiday season and you get so wrapped up into it and it
44:52
goes slow and fast at the same time. It's so crazy, like how
44:55
it like drags but zips, you know what I mean. We moved here
45:00
anticipated moving here so we could be here for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and that
45:06
ship is long by. Yeah. Literally, it's like it feels like we
45:10
just talked about. Like you're like, oh, yeah, we locked in
45:14
the apartment. Yeah, like you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's
45:19

45:50
like, the future is right, but the future always right, not even
45:52
