• 0:11
  Speaker 1: take you and your brother out for dinner. Nice place,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: have your first legal cocktail. Who am I kidding? Your
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: first legal cocktail. It's all right, terrific. So we made
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: reservations over here for the rest, which which people still
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: don't know about.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: The rest. There's like a little bodega, well.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It used to be, and they had to sign up
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that said bodega, and they would actually sell gum and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: things like that. You know, it was an actual bodega.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: But then downstairs from the place is a secret restaurant's
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: kind of like a little speakeasy, but they've just given
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: up on the whole bodega front. It's just a little
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: bar there now. And you go downstairs for the dinner.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: So we went down and we had a nice dinner,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and I said, all right, your first legal cocktail, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: she said, I like all lives mm hm, So I
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: think I should try a dirty martini, okay, which to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: which I said, are you sure you want to start there?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty advanced.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Are you sure about that?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Okay? Fine? It sure?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Your your nights, you do it.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: What was she pretending like, It's like, oh, I've never
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: had alcohol before.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she was doing her best, but she said she
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: never had a dirty martini. And I'm like, okay, great, Yeah,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: it's a good place if you know. It's a great
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: bar down there, so let's have it all right, And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: she comes out and it's ew ew ew ew. Yeah,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you don't want to start with a dirty martini. So
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: we we talked her into a into a white Russian
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and some other drinks, you know, which she quite enjoyed.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You know, that was great.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So as we're leaving the rest, I realized that now
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: she's experienced legally this nice place, we should do the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: opposite now and take her to a bad place. Well
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it's your definition a crappy place. No, I would never
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: call it that. A place that is not like the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: place that we were in.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: It was not fancy. Yeah, there you go.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So just a block, you know, just two doors up
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: is cheers to you.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's what I think. Do they have karaoke there?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, they were setting up karaoke.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I think my kid goes there every Saturday night and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: does karaoke there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I think, so, yeah, they were setting.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Up for karaoke while we were there's. Yeah, that's where
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: he goes.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing about cheers to you. Place hasn't
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: changed in all the years, has not changed, and they're
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: still only charging fifty cents to play pool.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Really two quarters.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You never see that, Todd, You never see that anymore.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: In this world of inflation. Yes, I'm appreciative of theirforts
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: to hang on to their heritage.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Now here's the Here's the strange thing is that a
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: lot of bars in town, a lot of you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: various different bars. What was your first bar? Because it
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: turns out that my wife's first bar and my nephew's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: first bar were the same bar. Ex wife's place, they
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: both really that was their first place.

  Speaker 2: Which is which is going to come down here eventually?
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Is it? Yeather tearing? They're tearing that whole thing down.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: That's too much primary real estate there. It's that old
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: church right there on the corner. And it was right
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: next to the old X ninety six study. My ex
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: wife's place is was actually part of the church. It
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: was where the pastor lived when the church that was
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: an operational church. And uh, yeah, they're they're going to
