• 0:49
  Speaker 4: we're a little jet lagged, you know, we're a little tired,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: but we can do this. Of course, we're coming from
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: New Jersey going out to Long Island.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: It's the worst.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: It took us long to drive as our flight to
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: New Orleans. And I'm not exaggerating the flight, not going
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: through the airport, but just the.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Wheels up to wheels down is probably what two hours
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and forty five.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah even less. We went even quicker. Okay, it was
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: like two and a half hours so.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Driving New Jersey to Long Island round trip. Yeah, longer
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: than your flight from New Orleans to Newark.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you cross Bronx Expressway.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, I want to thank you, by the way for
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: my shout out on Instagram. You didn't have to do that,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: but you I got you into a restaurant that you
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: were dying to get into.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's called Commander's Palace in New Work So it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: in New Orleans.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: It's legendary.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: It's in the Garden District, maybe one of the oldest
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: restaurants with the best recipes. And I've wanted to go.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: And during the pandemic coming you remember, we were all
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: watching documentaries during that time.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: A lot of that, a lot of food stuff.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: There was one about Commander's Palace, and Eric and I
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: at that point had just gotten back from New Orleans,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and I said, oh, we didn't go to that. We
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: have to go next time. But will we ever get
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: out of this house? Will we ever get to travel again?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: And so it's been a goal of mine to get
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: to Commander's palace because it just felt so special.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: And we tried. We were in New Orleans and twenty
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: twenty four we couldn't get in. It was booked.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: We tried this time it was booked. I think if
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: you're traveling and interested, I think these restaurants, maybe you
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: need a month in advance.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's I mean, that's a long time. You think
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: two weeks is fine, but maybe you do need a month.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: I think so because they're so legendary and you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: and I know it's a lot for tourists, but local
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: looks like it too.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: To celebrate, right.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Right, Well I have.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: So what I did was I have a concierge service
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: with one of my credit cards. Ye, and some credit
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: cards have a free concierge service and either you could
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: call them or you could get their app. And what look,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: long story short, one of my cards had it and
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: it's free to use. And I just hit them up
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: and I said, but I did. The only thing I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: didn't do is I didn't.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Say it was well for a friends.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't want to do for a friend.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Yes, I didn't know if that would open up a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: can of worms, right, So I said, I will be
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: traveling in New Orleans, and I want to go to
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Commander's Palace and they put my name in, so all
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you did was give them my name, right.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yes, So Eric was Paul, Yes, Kubby Bryant. I'm wondering
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: if your credit card company's like, so, where's that charged?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I know what cooked you up?
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So I thought of that.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I have used the service before and not
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: used the credit card to pay, and they've never said anything.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Gamble they take.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, but they got you in, they.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Got us in.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I was so excited Coubby to get this reservation. When
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: you're in New Orleans, you do have to dress for
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: dinner when you go to these fancier restaurants.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Like like.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: A jacket and they check out your shoes.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: So we didn't think we were going anywhere fancy, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: we didn't bring well, Eric didn't bring those kind of clothes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: I always bring a justin case dress always always. Yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: he does too, but he doesn't fit into mine and
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: he didn't bring his, so I had one in the bag.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I had sandals. I'm good to go.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Eric's got a button down shirt and like, you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: nice if you will, But the only thing he has
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: is his Nike sneakers, and they're not loud sneakers.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: They're black, but they have the white woosh.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: And supposedly, supposedly Commander's palace did not want sneakers, specifically
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: anything with a logo, like if there were low key sneakers,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: maybe you could get by his weren't loud and colorful.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: So I'm telling him, I'm like, look between my dress
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: and sandals, your button down, your slacks, nobody's gonna notice
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: your sneakers. He was so freaked out and upsets. We're
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: gonna get there and he knows it's important to me,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: and we're not going to get in because of his sneakers.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: We left the music festival where we were having such
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: a great time and he's like he's almost like dragging me.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: He's like, come on, we just have a little bit
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: of time to make it to this mall. But it
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: was a high end mall. It was like the only
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: mall that was in the area. And the shoes were
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: like between two and four hundred dollars that like he's
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: never gonna wear again. And I'm like, Eric, I really
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: really really think we're okay. Full presentation, like we'll be okay,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: and the guy in the store was so so nice
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to him, and he was reassuring him, and he's like, well,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: what are you wearing. He's like, You're gonna be okay,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And it was I felt like when that guy said that,
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: that also reassured him. And I told Eric, I'm like,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: what's the worst thing that can happen? We get turned away,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: It's New Orleans. We'll find food and I'll have a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: story for the radio. Commander's palace rejected us, but we
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: got there and it was not a problem. And we
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: looked over at the table next to us and there's
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: a guy all dressed up and what's he wearing? Nike Seekers,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: So he didn't need the angst.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: We didn't have to go through all that.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, but we had the most beautiful time and the
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: gorgeous I appreciate it so much.
