• 2:26
  Speaker 2: whenever we do this podcast, we always like to you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you don't have to drink alcohol. We like to encourage
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: good casual conversations. I'm drinking a poppy orange so noa,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I think, are you having anything?
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yes, I'm clinking my glass theatrical purposes. This is really funny.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: There's this like you know this. I don't know if
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you've heard of Ariwan. There's like fancy grocery store.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Oh I needed okay, I need to ask you about this, yes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, okay, so but right now this is it's so funny.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: But I love I mean, I go there sometimes, like not,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I can't make it my weekly staple, you know for groceries.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Obviously it's like so so so expensive, but every now
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and then I'll buy the soups from there because then
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you could keep the glass jars, and I feel like
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: drinking out of the glass jars. I feel so fancy.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: So I'm currently drinking like an energy drink a meal.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It's called the Meo, like a squeeze kind of energy
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: drink out of my air one cup, which is so annoying.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: But I always I never feel bad spending that much
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: at air One. I just tell myself that, like I'm
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: buying drink wear, you know. So it's like, okay, a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: thirty dollars soup I'm really getting like a glass basically.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: See if anything that I'll get to the German thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: in a minute, Like yeah, because like that's what. That's
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: all I say about air one. For those who don't know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: just look up air one on any social media platform
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: and you're gonna really be shaking your head, like how
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: much they want for a sandwich. But like, I mean, okay,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: that's the thing, you know. I didn't know that, like
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: if you buy sup you get to keep the cup
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: wear or something like that. I mean, sure some grocery
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: stores do that, but it's usually the cheapest plastic thing.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: You know, these are like beautiful glasses. I feel like
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: the strategy at air one is that you just have
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: to buy things that you can then reuse the containers
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: for and then it's not that bad.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean, if you're gonna use out of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: more than once a night, can get it.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: But yeah, but it is crazy. The other day I
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: went to go meet up with a friend and I
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: bought her a couple sunflowers and then like lunch for
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: her and I and my total was one hundred and
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: four dollars, and I'm like cool, I wanted to return
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: everything and the whole time. I had like a nod
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: in my stomach about it. I felt so like sick
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: to my stomach the whole day that I'm like, this
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: is just so not worth it that sometimes it's, uh,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: it's a little crazy.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, at least you got the sunflowers though.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the sunflowers were nice. I think she like I
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: kind of saw her just like stuffed them in her
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: car on the way home. So you know, it was
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: one hundred and two dollars of an experience at least,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: oh my.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: God, hundred Again, that's I mean, not that the air
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: one's the only crazy. Like I mean, it's like the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: big crazy grocery store right now that everyone hears about
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the crazy prices, but I mean groceries anywhere. We'll not
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: get into the political side of things, but like anywhere
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: it's insane. Because it was the other day I went
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and has bought a couple of things at Chicken, some fruit,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: and my bill is like fifty dollars, and I'm like, why, Yeah, it's.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Too much, it's too much. Like that is what I
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: tell myself too. I'm like, oh, I could make myself
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a salad, but it will be seventy eight dollars right now,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: So I'll just like get Chick fil a. Not very
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: healthy and not a very healthy mindset, but I.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Mean, I mean, if it's an Airwon sound it comes
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: in a nice little big container then releases out of it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Oh that's insane. Well, actually kind of going out the
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: grocery story thing here in a second. So yeah, So
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: in Germany, my wife is out there currently, so I'll
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: be going out there back and forth grocery stores there. Again,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know about Airwin. I've never been the Airwon,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: but like you know, most grocery stores here, they are
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a larger kind of commodity, like even like you're like
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: little Aldie ones. Like yeah, like when you go in there,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: it's how I put this, they want you to spend
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: as much time as you can in there to keep
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: buying more stuff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the majority.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Of an experience.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I feel like Whole Food has done a good job
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: of that, where I see people going there to watch
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: football games and like they have social events there.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Oh I'm not afraid. Event I've been to Whole Foods
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: or Mariano's and I've definitely been like, oh, I'm gonna
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: go buy someone next to you know I'm at the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: bar having a couple of beers.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I actually I know of a friend who
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: she was upset that she's pregnant, and she was so
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: mad that her husband only hangs out at like the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Whole Foods wine bar just watching football all the time.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I told my boyfriend, I'm like, I would
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: be so mad at you, slash embarrassed if like I
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: was about to give birth and he was at like
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the the Whole Foods watching football.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: I feel, yeah, I'd rather be at an excell bar
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: where the demons will probably better. I mean, that's gonna
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: have a cheap I'm a cheap bastards.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I forgot what part of the country you live in.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So myself, I live in the Chicago area, okay, and
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: my wife is in uh I'm not for certain redon
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I won't say where, but she's in Germany. But the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the funny thing about grocery stores there, so like you said,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: like like the Whole Foods, Mariano's are all the They're
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: like a big commodity, like BIGI aleways. I can't say
• 6:52

• 6:56
  Speaker 2: stores I've been to in Germany. This is my second
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: outing going out to visit her. It's eventually, I don't
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: want to call like a maze, but it kind of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: like is amazed because it's like you walk through it.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Let's see this. Okay, you walk through the grocery store
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and you walk through your first thing you do, you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: walk through your you know, your produce, your vegetables and
• 7:13

• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Of course, by the time all the groceries are through,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: the kids just sitting here with no money, waiting for

  Speaker 2: the parent to pay for the stuff twenty minutes later.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that's thing about it. I mean, it's not

  Speaker 2: just Germans, but Zero. It's efficient. It's like, hey, let's
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: get this done. Yeah, get out, yes, And.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Like I find myself lately, that is how I feel too.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: I want to be efficient and then like I feel,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I feel very like I'm a friendly person. I love, love,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: love talking to people, but there's something about Trey or
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Joes that like, whenever I'm there, I don't want to
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: tell them what I'm doing for the weekend, and I
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: don't want to like tell them why I'm buying meatballs,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: and I just I actively avoid Trader Joe's because like
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: I don't want to talk to the cashier people, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I feel like I wish they knew like a corporate
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: where it's like just let us buy our things or
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: maybe some people. Maybe I'm in the minority here, but
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: like I don't want.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: No one hundred percent agree with you. I'm that guy too.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I mean unless if I'm like an electronics store, I
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: get it. But if you're in a grocery store, it's like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you know, like I'm just shooting get my stuff, getting
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: get out.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: Yet Trader Joe's, yes, I actually get like shy and
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I don't want to talk about what I'm buying. And
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: then they always have like they ask on this weekend weekend. Yeah,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't know you, Like I don't know
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: you at all. Why am I telling you?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Well? I, for the longest time avoided Trader Joe's because
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: originally my wife and I we lived in Milwaukee and
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the nearest Trader Joe's is outside the city. But like
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: her and like her girlfriends, like they would go the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: whole time and come back and like, you know, they
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: make these like really good meals, like well, it's really
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: good they got at Trader Joe's, and like, I don't
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: know why, I I I hate to say it. Even then,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it wasn't like I mean Trigger Joe's, Like it's not
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: like it's it's a grocery store. It's expensive, but it's
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: not like essentially Air One. For some reason, like ten
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: years ago, I thought of them as like the Air One.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I don't really, I don't know why. But now anytime
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I go grocery shopping, I'm literally finding excuses to go there.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and now they're so cheap, and now I'm like,
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: why is the orange chicken only like a dollar thirty nine? Yeah,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I don't want to know what it's made up for anything.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: But it's funny you brought up the conversation because in uh,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think I'm pretty sure I saw
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: one in Poland, so I'll say in Europe there's this
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: it's like a it's called Redway or I think it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: pronounced Reve, but it's r E w E, and it's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: kind of like thinking like as an all day it's
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: a pretty popular grocery store, but it's a bit on
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the smaller side, although I have seen some big ones
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: over in Europe. They're very about like, hey, bring in
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: your own bags. We're gonna charge you for plastic bags
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. I know, it's a big up and
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: coming thing around the country. I don't know about the
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: California in the Chicago area that's a big thing. Now
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: if you go in your and don't have grocery bags,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: you're gonna get charged.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think it's like ten or fifteen cents
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: or something.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Same here. So I had one of these Reve bags
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: and I literally go up to the counter trader Joe's
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and I get it, and I'm having a conversation with
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: not just one with not just a registered person, the
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: person bagging the groceries. And next thing you know, I'm
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: looking behind me. There's like five people just standing there
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: giving me this dirty because they're like what is this
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: bag from? Like, oh, it's from Germany, MA. It's small talk,
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: and I'm like and of course, like I'm like, you know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to be respecting like this, Oh it's from
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: this grocery store in Germany and my wife's over there,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. And they're not like asking like what
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: she doing over there? They're like, oh, what does she do?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: How's the project coming? And I'm like and I'm like, oh, guys, yeah, it's.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Like keep it going, keep it going. I know. I
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: feel like there's such a difference of they're like basically
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: doing a podcast episode with you, and you're like, I
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: just want to sometimes buy my stuff and get going.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: I just keep her recording in my pocket.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Just maybe maybe down the road that would be a
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: good episode of just like visiting eighteen different stores and
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: recording and then you could like do a consumer reporter.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: So I don't know that.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Honestly, that wouldn't be the or if anything, do it
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: because like not saying this is like a bar the podcast,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: but they do like different kind of dive bars because
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I can tell you there's some I can tell you
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: some stories or not even me. I can just like
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to some of the stories I've heard just like people
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: talking about in the public.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: It's like in some of these Wisconsin or Illinois bars,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it's just like why are you saying this? Like I
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: don't it doesn't matter what the barschool one hundred people
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: or four people, Like why would you say that thing?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: I'm loud like publicly, yes, Like like it traderes if
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: they ask what I'm up to on the Friday? I
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: could if I if I said, like I might murder
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: my boyfriend or something. But I wonder if they would
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: have to tell anyone or like, you know, like if
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I could if I confess the crime, I wonder if
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: that would be a good Maybe maybe we could do
• 12:48

• 13:12
  Speaker 3: that they never Then I go to like some weird
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: asle for the rest of the time.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Honestly you especially in your prevent, that'd be a really
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: good bit. Yeah it would.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, maybe I could video and.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, put on your TikTok and all
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: of a sudden you're known as the person who says
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the whost uncouple of things.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm getting some ideas. Now, I might
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: even even if I hire one of my friends to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: play a treater Joe's person. That will be okay. I'll
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: probably get sued and like get a season desist, but
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: it'll be fine.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: No, just just do with the guys that like do
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the target things do. Just wear a red polo, but
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: just don't put any target logos on it. You'll be alright.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Oh my god. Have you seen the videos
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: where these are my favorite, where they get like a
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: picture of a cashier and then they make it to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: a T shirt and then they wear they wear it's
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the funniest thing ever. They wear a picture, they wear
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: a T shirt of the picture of that cashier, like
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: and then they capture the cashiers face. It it's like
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: so funny when they discover that the person's like wearing
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: their face on a T shirt.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, they'd be like a little like the trader Joe's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: like like reported like admitted to a crime to a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: cash regis. I love that. Oh my god, no, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: would be terrified. And it takes at it takes a
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: lot to go under my skin. That would get my
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: skin pretty.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I think it's very funny though, because I've seen something
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: and they pick like just the most regular, like kind
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: of everyday people looking cashiers, and it's it's like so
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: cute to me of like someone seeing themselves on a
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: T shirt. I think that's very sweet.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a new trend that's going around right now,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: especially for like sports teams, where like they're like getting
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: these like embarrassing photos and like when they were like
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: in high school or like really tiny kids, and they're like, hey,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: you know, hey Tom Brady, can you signed his photo?
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, sure, And then you know,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: because he's also is like wait, it's a social media guy,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: like what's you going to sign? And then they turn
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: over says, oh no, it's like the most awkward looking
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: picture of you.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I love that. I love that.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: Some of the reactions have been pretty funny, like there's
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: some of them just like signed it laughing. Some had
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: literally like run off and like ripped the picture up
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: to like one hundred pieces, you know, not like it's
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: stay on the person's computer.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: I want to do that. Tonight. Woman that was just
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I forget what her name, Yulia, I think the US
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Open tennis girl that was just like a big brat.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Did you see that?
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: No? I did not.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, it was like this. I think Yulia something is
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: her name. I think she's from like Kasastan or something.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: And she just it went like viral last week because
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: she lost, but she was being a really sore loser.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: And then the ball girl was trying to throw back
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: the balls to her, and she just like stood there
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: with her arms basically crossed and let the balls like
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: fall to the fight.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: I did hear about this?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I'm sorry. I don't know if I can
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: curse or not, but I very bitchy and like I
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: hate that type of behavior. And I feel like, by
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the time you're twenty nine and if you're still acting
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: like that and you're like a professional athlete, you're doing
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: something wrong. You know.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I did hear. I didn't know that

  Speaker 1: I know.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: I did hear about like this? Stay?
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah. It makes me so mad because I could
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: see like having a temper and throwing your racket or like,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: you know, do it. That's not great, but it's it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: like you're not doing it to another person, but just
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: acting like that for just towards another person that's trying
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: to just do their job is like that makes me
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: want to go find the worst elementary school photo of her.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Find it, honestly, Like, I like that's the thing too,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Like I feel like we sometimes need to be humbled
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, like like hey, like we
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: we like we despite like what your thoughts are currently,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: what's going on in the world, Like we have it
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: pretty good, you know, yes, like like like there are
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: people who you know can't go to Arawona and buy yeah, oh.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: My god all the time. Anytime I like actually think
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: about problems, I'm like, Okay, I should be so lucky
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to have these problems.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Right well, I mean, like, you know, the obviously comes
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: to the age because I'm not gonna riddim that when
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: I was eighteen, I was you know, I didn't think anything.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I thought, you know, the might rule is my oyster
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: and like my wife rightfully tells me this by the
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: way she goes, man, you used to be so spoiled,
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: and of course, me being me stubborn, I wasn't.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: Oh it's stubborn. Like I didn't go on exotic trips
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: to not my wide did either. I didn't go on
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: exotic trips at Timbuktu or anything like that. It's like no,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: but like your parents busted their ass and whatever you
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: whenever you wanted something or you could, you had to
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: free him to do things.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: And like stuff like that. And I'm like, I wasn't spoiled.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: I And she's oftenly gonna hear that. I mean, she
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: wasn't chill to hear this.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, I was spoiled, right, And I know, I know,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: And some people don't even have the privilege of like
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: getting to be braddy to their parents or you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: getting to I always think about that even now, where
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: like I'm still very lucky where I have both my
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: parents around and like they're very we're all really close,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: and my mom will message me and I'll just be like, God,
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I'm in the middle of working and I'm like, oh,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I can't take two seconds to talk to
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: like the person that helped put me through college. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: helped is like the best mom in the world. Or
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you know, I've tried to just slow down and not
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: be so like annoyed and braddy at at the age.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I love both of my parents and actually both my
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: parents are remarried to great people, and I try my
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: best to at least like at least tree or three
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: times a week I'm driving home from work to call
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: them and like no, no, But I get mad at
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: myself sometimes too, because there are times I'll call them
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: both and like it's still the It's still the twenty
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: year old that made like two bus in the conversation,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm already annoyed.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why do our parents trigger us?
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like like and it's not like to say anything
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: stupid like not or not stupid to like in general,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: just like I'm like like why, like why why do
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I call you? Like why am I doing this right
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: now all.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: The time all the time, or like I'll act, I'll
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: have Mariah Carey where I'm so drained where my mom
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: will try to just call me and I'm just like,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: what does everyone want from me? Everyone just like wants
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: a piece of me, And I'm like okay, or I
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: could just call my mom for like a minute and
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: a half, it'd be fine, like not that deep. But
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I always try to think about to that, like our parents.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know how yours are, but mine, like they
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: don't talk to a lot of people on the phone
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: or just in general. So it's like for every fifty
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: people that we talk to, it's like they that's like
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: their shining moment is to talk to us, you know,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: their family on the phone. So I always think about that,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: where if I'm like overwhelmed, my mom is just trying
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: to like I'm like probably one of six people she
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: talks to on the phone like that month almost.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: You know, that's actually a pretty good point. My mom
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: definitely not like her her, and it's not just her
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: her and sexually kind of inspired me a little bit.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Her and her close friends have like made it their
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: mission these last like five years to like stay in touch.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Oh you know, I love that because it's easy. Yeah,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: it is, because it's easy to like lose, like get
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: like you know, just grow, you know, just drift apart.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I know I have I had not
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: saying that, not say if I didn't seem to that,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: whudn't give me a huge hug, kissing the cheeks, buying
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: a beer or whatever, hoping that by me a beer first.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: But like, you know, it's just we haven't talked a
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: long time. It's just that's just life happens. But but yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: like there's times like literally like but my dad, they'll
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: like not say like he hasn't talked to people on
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: the phone, but like whatever, like my dad. I called
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: my father and I know he's gonna have this.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: I love your dad, whatever I call him, I love
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: you too.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: There are two things. There are two phrases he has
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: that he'll say, who is ringing my doorbell this year?
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Like anyway? Sorry? Or there's late? There are two things
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: he will say. And if he says one of these
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: like phrases, I'm like, all right, this is either going
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: to be a you know, twenty minute conversations or or
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: this is gonna be a forty minute conversation. There's anything
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: wrong with that?
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, I need to know these phrases.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm not gonna tell there no, So
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: my love you dad. If the forty five minute one
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: is if he goes it's an e quick story, and then.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: You know it's going to be like forever and ever
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: is he doing that like tongue in cheeks or no.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: No, No, it's just it's just no, it's just a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: matter of like how do I word it. It's just
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: like he's just like, oh, hey, my son called me.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I got a I got a funny story to tell him, Like,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, sure, you know because it's like because in
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: his shoes, Hey, my son called me to talk. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: want to talk to him, yeah.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, And then forty minutes later, and I love
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: how parents always include like what everyone ate for dinner
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: in the story and it's just like every detail that
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: I don't need to know, but I think it's so cute.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: No thankful. Now, I wish.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I want on behalf of all the people to know
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: what the twenty minute one is. But I'll it's not
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: It's not like.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: A right, I'll tell the twenty minute one one if
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: anyone's listen to this podcast. It's not even a phrase
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: if it was this podcast. It's pretty well known that
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: my dad and I are very close. But also another
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: guest who comes on the show pretty often. His name
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: is the nickname is Oji Patron. We will do impersonations,
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: not planned. It just comes out. So whenever I know
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: it's to be a short conversation. My dad is one
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: him and I just started doing Arnold impersonations for twenty
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: for fifteen. Oh my god. No, And I said before,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it's rare, and it's rare that my father and I
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: call each other. It's like it's a great's relationship we have.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: It's not you know, hey, hey son, how's it going?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Hey Dad, how are you? It's we always acknowledge each
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: other in an Arnold tone.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: That is like the most bad thing too.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: That's when I that's another time I'm like, all right,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: there'll be a short conversation. But like whenever I hear
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: it can take a quick story and I never I'll
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: never cut them off, but like like I'll over together.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: There's like one time my wife and I were going
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to dinner with someone and my dad's on the phone
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: and she's like, oh, She's like like like how long
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: is this story? Like like we have we have a reservation.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Like I'm like, oh, hold on, babe, hold on babe.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And she's like she's like is it a good story?
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, what story of my father's isn't a good story? Now?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: But again with any fair, there's those towels or those
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: like you know, it's like I said, you call you
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: call them, and it's like you know what to call you?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Yes. All the time. My mom had this saying growing
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: up when we would we would go and it drives
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: me crazy. And she's still now. She doesn't jokingly to me,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: but it used to drive me absolutely bonkers. Where we
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: would be, it would be like the last day of
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: a really nice vacation and then she would always say, well,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: it's back to tea and toast, and like it would
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: drive me crazy. And finally one day we were like
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: coming back from Cape Cod or something. On one day
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: I screamed like I don't want tea and toast and
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: like you know, I'm like I want cavyr like coffee
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: every day and so it always and I finally I said,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: when when she tells me it's back to tea and toast,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: like growing up, that always just made me feel like, oh,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: we went on this nice vacation, but we don't deserve
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: it year round, so like back to basically gruel you know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: of course made it like so much more drags than
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: what yes, yes and so, And now she always like
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: if we have a fancy dinner. She's always like tea
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: and toast. But she's so funny because she would say
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: had it would trigger me for so bad so many years,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and then finally I told her that now we laughed
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: so hard about it. But it's always like this thing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: I've had to explain it to my boyfriend, like what
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: tea and toast me? And we actually want to get
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be really cute, but I want to
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: get a tattoo, like really really small tattoo with my mom,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: where like I get a little teething and she gets
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: a toasting. Yeah. Yeah, So now now it's the funny
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: thing is she's very very gluten free now and very
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: has celiac, so she there's no no toast to be had.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: But no, my mom. She she retired a few years ago,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: and she's always been a phenomenal cook. She's always making
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: these crazy and she's you know, she's a classic old
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: school Italian mom, you know, like you know, two of
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: your friends come over, like you know, hi, You're like hi, Hi, Hi,
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: how's it going and she goes good, you guys hungry? Nah, no,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: we're okay. Tour minutes later there's like a fricking feast
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: on the team.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: That is like a dream.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: But this is this is how smart my mom is
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: being the classic Italian woman she is. I can't remember
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: when it started. I think it actually might have been
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: my stepdad because not that not that he doesn't like turkey.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I don't I like turkey too, but like, I don't
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: know what is Thanksgiving turkey like to me? I don't
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: know why. It's just never been like my I'm not
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: like a huge I got you know, I'm always going
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: for the sides. But for the longest as I can remember,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: my mom will always make her homemade lasagna on Thanksgiving
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: and Christmas, and the pure joy I see in her
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: face whenever like a friend or I'm like, like I
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: remember saying, like my wife when she first came over
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: for thanks to me the first time, you know, my
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: mom like, okay, so we're gonna have turkey stuffing and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: then you know, and she was, oh, and I got
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: this one. And she never says what is She was
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: only got this one thing in the oven, and like
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: one time my friend was like like, oh, what's in
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: the oven? And then she was just like, hey, I got
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: it's It's just a giant, giant pan of lasagna. Oh yeah, no,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: and again, and I hate to say it, like both
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: my parents, both sets are phenomenal. Explain when it comes
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: to Thanksgiving and it's like, oh, how's the turkey? That's great, mom,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I'm on my third play lasangna though.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: That would be every Thanksgiving meal I've been out. I
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: really feel like the lasagna would be the hit winner, like,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: you know, even if for the non Italians. I mean
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not Italian, but to me, that would be like
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: the best dish I could imagine on Thanksgiving.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Oh no, that is my favorite dish other than like stuffy, no,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: because because I'll never forget. Like there was like one
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: year in college. It's you know, like you know, just

  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, no, I'm now I'm hungry.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: Does she ever do Linguinian clams?
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: She has made them, but not for like a holiday.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's like that's my favorite ridiculously but yees, since
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: I feel like an time I go to an Italian place.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: You know when you you go to a certain type
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: of cuisine, but you're always like tay food. I always
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: get pat tim Like today will be different, I'll get
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: something else and then I completely you know, you get
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: the same thing over and over that Italian with clams
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: and linguini.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Well, like that's that's how I am. Like like my
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: favorite restaurants. It's like, I mean, it's gonna sound weird.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: It's like like, hey, so would you guys like them?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: You know, like what would you guys like to drink?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: And then the chance to look at the many like
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: I don't need to look like yeah, I know.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Because you don't want to take a chance. I always
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: want to branch out. That's why I love like sharing
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: dishes with people, because you can try so many things,
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: but because it is it's so sad when you go
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: somewhere and you like venture out and then it's like nope,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: But I know why I stick to my things.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Now, Well that's what now. My wife and I like
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: we've been doing it for a couple of years and
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: we've gone really more uh like communicate about in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: last couple of years, Like we'll go to restaurants and
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: I can't remember what what it was at some point
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: where we're actually, okay, now remember now, So we were
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: at this one restaurant. It's like, what we'll do with
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: thee the paraphrase W Moleman see before I told the
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: story is you know short or or something ol or something.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: It's like, Okay, you're probably gonna have half that I'm
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: gonna have the other half, and then vice versa. We
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: went to this one restaurant and uh, I don't know why.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: I really wanted to have passa carbonara. I don't know why,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I just really want I really wanted to have it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: And it was one of those few rare times where
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: she didn't tell me or I didn't tell her what
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: I was gonna order. So I word the pasta carbonara
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: and she gives me this look and I'm like, oh,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: you wanted a day now and she's like yeah, and
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like okay. So then she ordered no joke, literally
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the second thing I was thinking about. So then so
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: then they so then they come to the table and
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: they bring us our food and like I'm doing like
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: the switch, like, oh, did we get your orders?
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I'm like no, that's so good though. It's good when
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: you have the kind of like a strategy team of
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: strategy basically Oh.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean because like there's like nothing worse
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: than like you said, like you go to a or
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: a place you're familiar with the branch out and then
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: you're kind of like, yes, Okay.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: I know I need to get more foody friends out
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: in Los Angeles because I'm not even joking. All of
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: my even my like very thin friends are on ozembic
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and I'm not. None of my friends in LA have
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: an appetite and I'm like losing my mind. But this
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: is not why I moved down here too.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Is it again?
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Can mine? I'm in the Chicago area.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you could ask me anything about it?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Is it? It's it's that big over It's like it's
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the it's the thing now, it's the trend. It's oh
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: my god. I don't want to I don't want to
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: call it the new fad because there are legitily good
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: benefits and it is like the reason that was a
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm wrong, correct me, it was for
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: people with diabetes original, so like obviously it does have
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: benefits and like the original creation it was for a
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: good cause, but no just seems like it's like, oh, hey,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I want to lose twenty pounds.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, no, no, I can. It absolutely has become a
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: fad and a bunch of my friends get it in
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the way that people get like vitamin B injections, you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: where it's just like you can. I mean I have one.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: I will not say who whatever, But one of my
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: friends just went to a clinic like kind of and
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: it was so funny. It was like a Simpsons episode
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: where this they were like, yeah, we used to be
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: a clinic for something else, and then we got shut down,
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: and now we're a clinic for ozampic and it's like
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: a very black market, like if anyone watches The Simpsons.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: The doctor reminded me of like doctor Nick and just
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: kind of just like I pretend doctor, I mean to me,
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: I do have I have had some friends that were
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: like overweight and definitely had like insulin issues and then
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: you know, ozembic helped them, and but then then when
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: you go off of it, they gained the weight back
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: because they never really learned the practices of you know,
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: like healthy eating and stuff. And so my friends out
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: here are just like they were already skinny to begin with.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: And then now one of my friends literally said the
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: other day, she was like, I'm not interested in food.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you're not interested in food? So I think
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I have like one or two friends that actually like
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: going to restaurants, and other than that, none of my
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: friends care, which is like, I mean, good for them,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: but who care?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: But you know not my though, well, like and this
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: is another thing that like my dad, like I've sworn
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: to secret sea, but like my dad, I'm I'm a
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: huge like I mean obviously in the Chicago or I'm
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: a huge pizza fanatic, but also I'm a huge burger guy.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: And like I found or he found rather than he
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: brought me to it. The what we what him and
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: I both believe is to be the absolute best cheese
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: where we been in our life, your classic just regular
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: cheese and everything like that. And like I rarely tell
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: people where it at, where it's at a few people
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: know or like some friends of mine like, hey, you
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: try this one, but I'm like, yes, feel.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'll definitely have to get some recommendations for you
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: if I ever come to Chicago.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: And now whenever I go to like a restaurant and
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: if I get a burger, I'm not doing just like
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: the cheese whatever. I'm like, I'm like, oh wait, it's
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: like it comes with like aoli and this like a pretzel.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: BUTK like, I can't do just like this. It's like
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: when you go to your favorite restaurant, you want to
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: order something different. Like now, when whenever I go to
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: any restaurant, it's like, oh, we just have cheeseburgers. I'm like,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want to do it.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Because I've had the best, Like why why suffer through
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: this one? Something else out there?
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Like every time we every time my dad and I
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: go there, it's like it's perfect.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: And I think Chicago is a good eating city, like
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, La is definitely in the more. It's weird
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: here too, where it's almost like the very hype places
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: aren't always the best, and you know, the like hole
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: in the wall places are some of the best meals
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: I've had out here. But yeah, yeah, it's really funny
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: because anytime I ask my friends if they want to
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: go to lunch, they're like, no, sorry, we're we're off
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: of food right now.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Oh no, sorry, I my Olympic.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just I was at a party the
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: other day and like one guy, I mean, LA is
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: just like so weird. But someone was wearing a necklace
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and then I'm like, oh, I love your necklace and
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: he's like thanks, and he opened it up and it
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: was it was a vile to like carry his antidepressant then,
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: and he was like, this one is my insulin blocker,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: this one is my will butcher and this it was
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: like it was a full like a very nice looking
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: jewel necklace and the jewels opened up to him for
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: him to keep his pills. And I'm like, where am I?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: What town am I?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Now? Every here's the like every every town like has
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: like weird things, you know, like like you know, like
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: you're saying like you're you're going to a party and
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: some guys pulling like pills out of like his necklaces
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: or like like in this class like New York, you'll
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: be like walking down the street and like some goddess,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: you'll just be like randomly. I mean that's almost anywhere,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: like the guy was like randomly yelling or whatnot. I mean, yeah, yeah,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: event in Chicago, Milwaukee, it' said people are too friendly.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Oh I would love that. I like that it's like
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: it's the Trader Joseph Cities almost.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: But no, that's that's actually great comparison because no joke.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: When I was in Germany, there were times that my
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: wife and I are just myself be walking. We'd be
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: walking my dog and you know, like it's just like
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: the typical like maybe get like a little too close
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: to someone, just like walking the sidewalk, you just make
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: eye contact, you know, typical Midwestern hello, yeah, but not
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: even know hi, just ahead nod. I would get these
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: people to stop dead in their tracks and then they
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: would stare at me, staring through my soul.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Oh my god.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: And this wasn't just one time too, this is multiple
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: times this happened, and like it's again, every every country,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: every state, every city has their own cultures and are different.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: But like I'm never forget like the first time someone
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: in Germany when I actually got you know, you're walking
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the same sidewalk and like you're walking directions and I
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: go hello, you know, and they're like and like they
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: were like they said like hello back.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: I got so like its like they must be from
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: somewhere else. For sure. I've seen that. I think, of
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: course on TikTok of all places. But I've seen people
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: doing the like German cold stare. You know, I don't
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: know if it's real or not, but it's like real German. Yeah,
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's that freaked me out. I feel like, yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: that's I would not last socially long there for very well.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Right because like I mean, I can't I can't tell
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: you how many. I mean just the typic can just
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: me be myself. But else just very Midwestern like like, oh, hey,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: I'm walking to a store. We hold the door open,
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and like even if the guys having a bad day,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: you'll get a thank you. Yeah there, I literally got
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a person staring at me. It's like, why was I
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: holding the open for them?
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I couldn't. I feel like I wilt
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: like a flower. I definitely couldn't.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, the key to themselves like if you're very
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: if you're introverted, that's perfect for you. But at the
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: same time, it's just like and as to what you said, yeah,
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the person probably said a little back to me. Probably
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: not even from Germany.
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: Right right there. Used to be like a Minneapolis person
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: now they live here or something.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: Oh good god, Lord. One thing I do want to
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: talk to you about because you didn't you have mentioned California.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: And again, if I'm wrong here.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: Call saying, I'll give you the California stare, which is
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: just like looking off into the into the Netherlands.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: Out of a lot of people know this. So uh.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: I actually my wife and we have we have some
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: friends who are from the California area, more so from
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: the I want to say, the Anaheim.
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: Area of oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yep.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: So obviously California used to be it still is in
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: a way a very big stable for comedy in the
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: last couple of years. Then I'm just I'm just seeking
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: in terms of like social trend and stuff like that.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: It seems that a lot of the main basis are
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: like a lot of big things of comedy in the
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: California have migrated out and have left California. I know,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: like Texas for example, many huge thing. I would be
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: the first to say, I think the Midwest needs a
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: lot more stand up comedy. I'm not saying there aren't spots,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: but like there aren't not that there aren't clubs or
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: anything like that, but like trying to find one to
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: get to one, rather to be I mean that's anymore,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: but it can be a pain in the ass around here.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: But as someone who obviously is involved in that realm
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: or actually kind of two part of questions, would you
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: agree that like comedy is kind of like left California
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: a little bit? But then also since if it has
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: quote unquote left, do you feel like for people like
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: yourself or for like others, it's kind of giving you,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: given you guys more of as to like essentially get
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: that practice or you know, kind of like raise your
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: profile if you will.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so that's a good question. I feel like
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I definitely feel like more of the higher to like
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: upper middle you know, very good comedians like how you
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: said where they don't necessarily need to be in just
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: New York or LA or even Chicago, you know, because
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: I know, like Chicago is a huge comedy Like a
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: lot of my my stand up friends like came from
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: there or kind of you know, like end up going
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: back there. I feel like the very very good people
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: can really live anywhere.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I have friends that like live out of Brooklyn or
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: you know, North Carolina or all places all around, and
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: then they just tour and then same thing with like, yes,
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like there's a whole enclave of Austin that
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: I feel like now is almost getting a little bit oversaturated,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: and they're kind of like, you know, it's like so
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: many comedians went there and of the mothership that hold
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: the Joe Rogan venue that everyone loves so much. And
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: then of course, like besides that, they have so many
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: smaller venues and like smaller opportunities. Basically, yes, so like
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: Texas is oversaturated, but I feel like there's more shows.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: There's more local shows here in LA than there has
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: been in a really long time. You know. So if
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: someone wanted to, they could be out almost every night.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: They might be doing shows to like one person or
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: no you know, the bartenders or anything. But there's so
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: many everyone and their mother has like started a show
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: and they're producing it. Yeah, it's really cool. But I've
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: seen like around here, I mean, San Diego now is
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: getting way more into comedy and a lot of the
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: main like LA headliners. It's almost like good nothing for
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: people just to drive back and forth to do shows
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: in San Diego. And I think like there's so many
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: people just doing stand up, you know. I think for
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, just the social media and they're just interested
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: in it. Now that I think it's it's it's really good. Yeah,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I think there's still places like Vegas and Portland and
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: kind of all these like uh, second and third cities
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: where it tends to be like a ton of open mics,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: but not a lot of great shows unless you're doing
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: like the one big show or you know, every city
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: seems to have like the big feeder that all the
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: people are at, and then kind of the middle one
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: and then there's a whole bunch of local mics and
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: parties and stuff. But but yeah, I still feel like
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: it's happening here in La. I got good advice from
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: people that said it's really good to get good at
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: comedy somewhere else and then come to La. I kind
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: of did it like the backwards way, where you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: just in front of everyone. I started comedy stand up
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: a few years ago, like in LA, but luckily I
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: had had a few other I had friends here, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: I was I had a few connections and stuff, so
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: like I didn't feel like I was coming in blind.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: But that's definitely like I would I think that that
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: person's advice is great again, totally right where if I
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: was doing it again, I would have really done comedy
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: for a few years in a different city and like
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: gotten more self confident and more you know, just confident
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: in my comedy abilities and then come to La and
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: you'll then you'll be like kind of into the mix
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: a little bit easier.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. Well, And that's a fair point because I'm not
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: sure if you ever heard of they're mainly they're mainly
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: from Wisconsin, uh state the like Wisconsin's Table on the
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Why I was trying to think a word of Charlie
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Barron's he became a pretty big on TikTok and socials
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: and like he's a stand up comic now and like
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: like Kate, like my wife and I we've been to
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: his show and like it is absolutely hilarious. Like we're
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: like literally like crying like so hard. But at the
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: same time, but here's you know, at the same time,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: like he's having to take like pauses in between like
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: his bits because a lot of what he does is
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: so Midwestern nerd that that's that's not even a word
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: that like like like like someone like California taxes, they
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: might not grasp it. It's like yeah, because because he's
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: doing these like mannerisms. We're like saying these like things
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: that like you know, like in Chicago, like Chicago or Illino, Wisconsin,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: you know, big thing here. You know, if you're if
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: you're a Bears fan, you absolutely hate the Packers. And
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: if you're a Packers fan, first off, sorry for your loss. Secondly,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: you hate the Bears, Yeah, tell which one I am.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: But like he's like making these jokes about the Bears.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, those are funny, but like because I
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: get it, it's funny. But then he's like making these
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: like local jokes about like our gas stations and other things.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: It's just it's good stuff. And like I'll never forget that.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: We love the show. And if I'm wrong, you court.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: But you know, like whenever like stand like comics have
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: like they do like uh lesay, like the tour, they
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: usually kind of like have the same routine. I know
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: they'll change some things up here and there, but like
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: I'm just like and like my wife like that was
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: so funny. I'm like, yeah, I don't know if that
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: would work in like San.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: Diego, right, and I bet if I had to guess,
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if those were like his
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: his longer bits. But I know anytime I'm in a
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: different city, or most people are in a different city,
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: they'll spend like a few hours that afternoon just kind
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: of looking at okay, like it's this reference for this
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: restaurant or you know, this is gonna make them laugh
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: that it's like this ridiculous grocery store that everyone goes
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: to there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, yeah, I think
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: I feel like I mean, but I agree out here too.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: It's like everyone is kind of like a sensitive snowflake.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: So so a lot of the time, stuff even just
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: if you're joking, like stuff about mental health or you know,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: normally dark humor that would get us all through kind
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: of quiets everyone here. And so I love doing different
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: cities because then people actually laugh and it's like a
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: little bit rougher, and then I'm like, okay, this this
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: does work. I'm just in LA, you know, so yeah,
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: I think he probably that's that's cool. I'll have to
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: check him out. And I feel like, I mean, I
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: think everyone has their pockets of cities. I tend to
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: like more of like the Midwestern or even like Texas
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: crowds and just more like real people. I like anytime
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I kind of see, like a hipster crowd, I'm like,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: oh god, here we go. You know, sometimes that's okay,
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: but that doesn't really tend to be my favorite crowd.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: I also love like drunk wine moms in their fifties,
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Like they tend to get my intentsive humor. So an anytime,
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: like my friend's parents come to the show, I'm like, okay,
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: this is gonna go. Well.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, I'm a huge I can only i
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: can only like obnestly, like part of like what you
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: and other people do, like obviously a lot of it
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: is like you obviously want that crowd engagement. Like if
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: they're vibing with you, then it's like you don't even
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: have to do your whole bit. You can just do
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: like three things and like the crowds like interacting with
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: you in a funny, positive way, then you yata you
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: know what I mean.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. I just did a brewery and
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: I've really been challenging myself to do different types of
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: crowds and be like, okay, you just don't always play
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: it safe. Just stuff like that. I'm like, Okay, they
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: like me because they know I'm actively getting like you know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: someone just like shut their whole apartment down because they
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: didn't want to hear me any longer.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Oh lord, well, I do want to respect from your time.
