• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on?
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: It's Romeo, and we made it to Wednesday, halfway through
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: the week. We talked about sitting in the car. My
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: neighbor was just sitting in his driveway in the car.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know what was going on there. Also, you know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: going out to dinner, going out to eat used to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: be a special occasion. Now it just seems like you
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: do it whenever you want. So it's kind of funny
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: that a friend of mine and his wife got in
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: an argument over what goes on a hot dog.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: She put mayonnaise on it. He said no. She had
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: to go remake it because, well, mayonnaise does not go
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on a hot dog. Hey, yo, Rome, T-Mayo on hot
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: dogs here. That's because you're weird.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rome, toast a hot dog bun with mayonnaise does
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: not belong. Wait, toast a hot dog bun with mayonnaise
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: does not belong on a hot dog.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: It does not. Now, look, we're talking about traditional foods.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. Here's what I want to tell you guys.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And we'll get into something a little bit different.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Because I got a friend who puts ketchup on street tacos,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: which I think is the oddest thing ever.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But in his mind, he likes it. It's just a condiment.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: But in a weird sense, it's a strange combination of
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: foods to mix together, okay? So mayonnaise in a hot
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: dog is not a combo that traditional. Now, look, you
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: guys are going to all sit here and say, well, man,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: it's like jalapenos, you know? I got folks that put
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: jalapenos on absolutely everything, okay?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Jalapenos don't traditionally go on a hamburger or a hot
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: dog or anything else, okay? Maybe some nachos, maybe in
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: some salsa, but no, okay? But there are a lot
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: of you weirdos out there that you have some strange
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: combination of foods that you like for whatever reason when
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: they go together. Like, I think it's absolutely disgusting to
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: take Thousand Island salad dressing and put it on a hamburger,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: but that's become the norm. When you go to a
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: lot of restaurants, I think that's not, to me, something
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: that goes on a burger.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But you guys all have these weird combinations of foods
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: that you eat, and you think it's normal, but it's not.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: 34254727, what did somebody tell me on a taco? On
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a taco roll, for example, on tacos, cilantro, onions, beet radishes,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: hot sauce. Okay?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know what a beet radish is, but I guess.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: But also, you guys know that when you get cilantro
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and onion for a street taco, it's supposed to be
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: a white onion, right?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Not any other kind.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: But a lot of you eat strange foods, strange combinations.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: What kind of strange combinations of foods do you eat?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: They're not traditional, but yet you like them for some reason,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: like ketchup on a steak, ketchup on a taco, things
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Good morning, how's it going on?
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Romeo.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up?
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: I actually had a similar conversation about this earlier, well,
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: last week with my co-worker. I told him not every
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: hot sauce belongs on, you know, like, you can't just
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: add zapatillo on everything. Certain hot sauces go with certain foods.
• 3:06
  Speaker 6: And he was laughing at me, and I said, no, really.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: You know, Taco Bell tacos go with... Taco Bell sauce.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Jack in the Box tacos go with Jack in the
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: Box sauce.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You're right. You can't just.
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: Score tapatio on everything.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Because he was laughing.
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: He had never tried a crystal hot sauce with Albertson's chicken.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And I said, that's a must for me. Okay.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: And he said, no, I just add tapatio to whatever
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: we have.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: And I was like, no.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: You can't just add tapatio to everything. There's certain tastes
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: that go with certain foods and flavors.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: 100% agree with you. See, but that means he's eating
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: bad foods.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: If he has to put tapatio on everything, that means
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: whatever he's eating is not good.
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: I just don't like tapatio, period. I'm that one Mexican
• 3:56
  Speaker 8: that doesn't like tapatio.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I have to have different flavored sauces, and they.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 8: I agree with you 100%.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you 100%.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think tapatio does not go
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: on everything. I think your 100.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Food combinations go together. You know, it took me a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: while to learn that.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I started, you know, because I like certain things and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I started going to restaurants in the last couple of
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: years and just trying whatever their combination of food was
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: because I thought, you know what? Maybe I'm missing something
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: because they put this together. Let me try and see
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: if it's good, even though I don't like certain parts
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of the food.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But no, it was good. It's good.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: So you start to learn that, yeah, certain things go
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: together and certain things don't.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly what I told him.
• 4:38
  Speaker 9: And at the end of the day, he's like, oh,
• 4:40
  Speaker 9: I got to go buy me some Crystal Hot Sauce
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: and keep that home now.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I said, yeah, expand your palate.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It's funny, though.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: You know how many people out there think Tapatio goes
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: on everything? Wow. Yeah, no, no.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for calling.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Later.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Bye. On 842-547-7.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Just like I know people that think jalapenos go on
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: everything and they don't.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: 842-547-7.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Let's look at what kind of strange things you guys
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: are eating right here. Yo, Rome, I can't stand that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: hot Cheeto trend. I put hot Cheetos on everything that
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: drives me away from the business. It's cool, but don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: let it take you take over your menu.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Hot Cheetos. Yeah. That hot Cheetos and cheese and whatever else.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Disgusting.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: All right, 8-4-2-5-4, 7-7.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: What kind of strange combination of foods do you eat?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Talking about strange food combinations, right? Somebody said you put
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: mayonnaise on hot dogs.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: That's weird. That's weird. That's not normal. Good morning, Al.

  Speaker 7: I was just hearing about the weird food combinations.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: I remembered about.
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: When I first got with my husband, I went out
• 6:28
  Speaker 7: to his house to.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Go have pozole because my sister-in-law.
• 6:31
  Speaker 7: Had made some. And they just eat it with cabbage
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: and just like salsa de aceite. And I eat it
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: with tomatoes and i put avocado and they thought that
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: it was strange and now now that i'm a part
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: of the family and i've been coming around more they
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: know to have one tomato and one avocado just for
• 6:57
  Speaker 7: me because for them it's so strange that is strange
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: what the hell's wrong with you And then when my
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: mother-in-law came to visit, she saw how I served my
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: plate and she was also, like, criticizing me. And then
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: I was like, maybe you should try it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: And now she does the same thing.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: So, I don't know.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I was like, first I'm.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: The weirdo, but I guess I'm not so weird at all.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: That's weird. That's weird. I'm sorry. That's weird. All right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Have a good one. Goodbye. Yeah, that's a little strange
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for Pasola. All right, 842. Is that what she said?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Pasola or Menudo? Which it was.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: All right, 842-547-7. Strange food combinations. What do you got?
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: 842-547-7.
• 7:36

• 7:41
  Speaker 9: Hey, Romeo.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Good morning.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Good morning.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: It's weird that people put ketchup on their eggs.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, that is so weird. Absolutely.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: 100%.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you 100%. Ketchup does not go
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on eggs. 100% agree with you.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: People love it. I know people that'll make scrambled egg
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: sandwiches with ketchup on it. It's disgusting.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: I'm like, that is the smell.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know, and the worst part about it is it's
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: probably so much more normal than we think it is
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: about the people that do that.
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: Right.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: If they knew really what was in ketchup and how
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: it's made, I don't think they would be eating it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Well, don't tell us, because I still put ketchup on
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: my hot dog.
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: I had a friend, and I told him, I said,
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: do you know what's in it? He's like, don't tell me.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me. Yeah. Thanks for calling.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm on my way to work.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: You have a good one.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: You too. All right, 842-547-27. Oh, what are we doing here?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Rome, you grew up on the reservation.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Now we know why you don't like mayo on a
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: hot dog, because mayo and quail or rabbit is probably nasty.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Quail or rabbit. We did not eat quail or rabbit
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: on my reservation. We ate salmon and deer meat. And yes,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you don't put mayonnaise on either one of those. Hey, Rome,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: weirdos make the world go round.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: If it wasn't for weirdos, these poor girls would not
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: be making money off selling pictures of their feet.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, fair enough.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yo, Rome, here's a good one. Hot link in a
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: hot dog bun with grilled onions, guacamole, and yes, mayo.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: That's disgusting. That's just not, that's weird. Yes, that's weird.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Guacamole on a hot dog? That's strange. Strange food combinations, man.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Things that you eat that you like that just aren't normal.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: They're just weird, all right? Because for some reason, it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to your taste. All right, 8-4-2-5-4, 7-7. This is going
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to be one right now that is one of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: weirdest things I've ever heard. And I've heard it before.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I love tamales with ketchup, Romeo. The best. No. Ketchup
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: does not go on tamales.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: All right, just like it doesn't go on a steak.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Ketchup does not go on a tri-tip sandwich. check ketchup
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: does does not yeah that's just that's terrible that's terrible
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: rome you can't eat mcdonald's ranch with in and out
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: fries um yeah that's true oh you're talking about that
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: okay so earlier somebody said uh she called up and
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: she said she has a friend that he puts tapatio
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: on everything a co-worker a friend and she tried to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: tell him no you can't put tapatio on everything You know,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: when you go to Jack in the Box, you get
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the Jack in the Box sauce with the Jack in
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the Box tacos.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: You know, that type of situation. And you're right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. Because even when you go to different
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: taco stands, I mean, certain sauces go with certain tacos.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: All right, 8-4-2-5-4, 7-7, Romeo. Whenever you have Tri Astro
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Dogs on the east side, they have an Instagram account.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: They serve bacon-wrapped hot dogs with nacho cheese, grilled onions,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: hot Cheeto crumbs on top, plus a grilled jalapeno on
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: the side.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Must try.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I'll never try that. I'm just going to tell you
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: right now, I'll never try that. Maybe you love it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's great. But I'll never try it. I do
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: want to say one thing about Instagram, though. You know,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I told you the other day, I see all of
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: these restaurants. They grill up their food, and they show
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you what they got, and come to our restaurant, and
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I can never find the address.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They don't put the address.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: on the page, you have to actually click on something.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I'll never go to a place that does it. But
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: guess who put the address? I'm so proud that I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: go there as a Ritmo, Ritmo over off of, uh, Hageman.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I saw a Ritmo ad on Instagram and they had
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the address right under the name of their restaurant, which
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: is what every single restaurant should have. If you want
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: me to go there already for two, five, four, seven, seven,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: five to search for your address.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: You don't really want me at your restaurant.
• 11:48
  Speaker 9: All right, Rome.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: The worst is.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: When people put ketchup and Parmesan cheese on their pizza.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Ketchup is weird on a pizza. Parmesan cheese depends on
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: the pizza. Depends on the pizza. And it depends on
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the Parmesan cheese. Some pizza places have better Parmesan cheese
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: than others.
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7-8.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome, my ex adds ketchup on tamales. Always found
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it weird.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: It's a good thing that is your ex, because ketchup,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: only psychopaths put ketchup on a tamale. Yo, Rome, I
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: eat my French fries with mustard. If I use ketchup,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I like to mix black pepper in the ketchup. Sounds crazy,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: but you need to try it. Mustard and, mustard and, no,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: you said mustard and fries.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Or ketchup with black pepper.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. With sour bread, what? Oh, it has
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to be a hot dog link.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, Rome?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It has to be a hot dog.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Link, not a hot dog with guacamole and sourdough bread.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Well, okay.
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. Yo, Rome, is Ritmo a good spot? Ritmo's
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a great spot. Ritmo's good food.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Good food, good drinks, yes. Ritmo's good food. I go
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to Ritmo.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: And always get a ribeye and a glass of wine.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Get the lobster mac. It's what you need to get
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: at Ripmo. Either get the ribeye shaved tacos, the ribeye
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: shaved tacos, or a ribeye or a filet with a
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: glass of Austin and some lobster mac and cheese. And
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: I think they usually come with asparagus or something like that. But, yeah,
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Ripmo's good.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Ripmo's good. It's worth it. Yo, Rome, my girlfriend puts
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: ketchup on her ground beef tacos. Oh, God, that's nasty.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: That's nasty.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Romeo, I think.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: Ketchup is one of those things that should only be
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: reserved for fries, potatoes.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Ketchup should only be put on French fries, hamburgers, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: hot dogs. Nothing else. Oh, meatloaf. Ketchup on meatloaf is
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: good when you cook ketchup on meatloaf.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: The hamburger and meatloaf, yeah, but the hot dog, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: don't know.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I put mustard on a hot dog, so yeah, I'm
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: with you on that.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: I hate people that put it on tamales.
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: You hear people ground beef and all this other stuff.
• 14:20
  Speaker 9: That's just gross.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's disgusting. And tacos, I knew a guy when
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I grew up.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: He put ketchup on regular hard-shelled tacos.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: It was disgusting.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Do you know that ketchup originated in China and it
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: was meant.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: For a fish seasoning?
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I did not know that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and Western civilization turned it into a potato thing.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Okay. Too late.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ketchup only goes on about three things. It only
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: goes on about three things.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: We're talking about ketchup. Hey, good morning, Rome.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Ketchup went on tacos back then for ground beef. Couldn't
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: tell us African-American anything. It was the bomb. Is that
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: who put ketchup on taco, ground beef tacos?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I knew a few cats that put ketchup on ground
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: beef tacos.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And they were... It's not how that goes, man. You
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: know what's funny?
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: It's funny when it comes to the condiments that you
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: put on food, right? Because I will not, I will
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: only put ketchup on French fries, hot dogs and hamburgers.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Only three, meatloaf, three, four things. Right.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: But when you talk about tacos, like I won't put a,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: like on a ground beef taco, I won't put a
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: traditional salsa. Like I would a street taco, like a
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Sala or, or, or, or, or, um, you know, chicken
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: or Sala or whatever. Um, Street taco, right? I got
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to have some salsa. But on a ground beef taco,
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I put La Victoria salsa when I make ground beef tacos.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I don't make, I mean, I
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: know how to.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Make different types of salsas, whether they be chunky or
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: whether they be, you know, watery.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: But I don't, for some reason, I don't know why.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It's kind of weird. But yeah, just like... Hey, Rome,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: what about putting ketchup on scrambled eggs? Hell no. Oh,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: hell no. That's nasty.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Don't put ketchup on scrambled eggs. Ketchup goes on four things. Hamburgers,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: hot dogs, fries, and meatloaf. And it has to be
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: cooked on the meatloaf. You don't use it as a
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: dipping sauce for your meatloaf.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rome, what about ketchup on white rice? You're just
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: messing with me, right?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: You just... you just sent that in to mess with me.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, who in their right mind would put ketchup
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: on white rice? I'm not even, I don't think I've
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: even heard of that before.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: What kind of, I mean, Oh my God, you're just
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: messing with me, right? You just sent that to screw
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: with me. Uh, yeah, I hope.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Hey, Romeo.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, I agree.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, as an adult for the taste buds change, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: as a kid, no choice for ground beef tacos. Uh,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: No choice for ground beef tacos with ketchup. I just, no,
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I've never had that. Maybe it's good.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But I will give you this, though. Here's the problem
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: with a lot of us, okay? We grow up on
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: certain things. Now, whether it's because of our economic background,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: whether it's because we grew up on a reservation and
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: all we got is fish and deer meat, Salmon and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: deer meat, that's our main source of food. Or whether
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: you grow, I mean, it just depends where you grow
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: up in the South and you've eaten different things. Everybody
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: kind of grows up as a kid eating certain things, right?
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: And you're right about what you say. As a kid,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: we eat certain things. As we grow up and become
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: a little more cultured and understand a little more that
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: there's other things out there and better things out there, then, yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We change.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I always equated 22 and in college, you drink some
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of the worst alcohol ever. The cheapest whiskey, the cheapest tequila,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: and you think it's good.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Cuervo Gold is terrible. Jack Daniels is awful.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: It's cheap.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Jameson's is nasty.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Once you grow up, start making a little bit more
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: money and start drinking a little better quality whiskey, a
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: little sipping whiskey, I mean tequila, you start to realize
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: there's a quality product out there. You just got to
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: find it and be able to afford it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 9: Hey, Rome.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: I just heard what you said about drinking cheap booze
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: when you're younger because that's all you can afford. What
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: other stuff, once you could afford it, you started buying it?
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: That's a good question. Uh, like every, like the rest
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of you, I used to, you used to drink terrible whiskey.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Now I drink a nice whiskey. Not really.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: It's, I mean, not expensive, expensive, but you know, there's
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: more expensive out there, but I drink a better wine.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: I guess I drink better wine now. I do drink
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: better wine. I don't drink, uh, boons, um, tequila, obviously. Uh,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: what else, what else have you upgraded?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: On buying or maybe your taste upgraded? That's a very
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: good question. I don't have to, let me think about
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that for a minute.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what I, now that I make a
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: little more money than when I was in college, I
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: don't know what I've changed. Maybe food, maybe eat better
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: food steaks. That's a very good question. What have you
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: upgraded now that you make more money?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Hmm. That's a good question. Let me think about it
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: for a little bit. What do you got here? Hey, Rome.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You think a lot more women these days are into gorditos,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: fat guys? I don't think they're. Women are just into
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: people that treat them right. That's really all they're into.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Women tend to, at a certain point in her life,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: She decides that respect, communication, love, caringness, wanting to be
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: with her is more important than body shape or body size, okay?
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to be honest with you, man.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: So it's not necessarily that, you know, women are into
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: fat guys. They're just into guys that, you know, at
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: a certain point work hard and will take care of them.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: And fat guys eat. You know, women want to eat.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Times are tough.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Prices are inflation and the cost of things gone up. Bro,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: fat guy's still eating, so if she wants to eat,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: she might have to get with a fat guy. So
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's a trend. I think women are just,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I think women figure out whatever. Body size doesn't matter.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: There are a lot more things that are more important
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: to a woman than that. So, all right.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: R-8-4-2-5-4, 7-7.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: So yesterday, I go out to grab some packages out
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: at the front door, right?
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And I look over, and I see my neighbors. In
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: his driveway, just sitting in his car. And he doesn't
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: see me.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he's doing. I'm looking at him
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: for a minute, grabbing my package. I wasn't going to
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: go say hi, but I thought, nah. How bad of
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: a day do you have to have to where you're
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: just sitting in your car before you go in the house?
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: You know, like how rough did it have to be
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: to be in your driveway? Just sitting in your car
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out what's next. No, I don't know
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: what he was doing, but I was thinking, man, bro,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you must have had a rough day.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Or, let me tell you this.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: This is another funny thing I thought about when he
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: was sitting there, and I don't know why he was
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: sitting there.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I haven't asked him. I will, or he'll hear this
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: right now on his way to work, or his wife will,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and I'll find out.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: But for those of you that don't know that before
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: you could text your family at any given moment, before
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you could communicate with them 24-7, you would come home
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: from work and you didn't know what was going to happen.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: You didn't know what you were in for. You didn't
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: know what the kids were doing, the wife, the husband.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: You'd show up home, you'd pull into that driveway, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: we didn't all have cell phones. So you didn't know
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: what you were walking into. Now, I don't know what
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: he was walking into. Maybe something was going on inside
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the house that he needed a moment, you know, to
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: collect his thoughts before he walked in.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But I'm just saying. I mean, how
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: many of you remember dad? I mean, a lot of
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you remember back in.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: The day when we were kids, you remember dad having
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: a cigarette before he came in the house. You guys
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: remember that, right? Your dad would get off work. He'd
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: get out of his car and he'd just stand there,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: have a smoke before he came into the house because
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: he didn't know what he was getting into. Maybe he
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: had a rough day at work. You just never know.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: So I just thought it was the craziest thing. And
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know what he was doing. He didn't look
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: like he was talking to anybody on the phone or anything.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: He didn't look like he was wrapping up a conversation.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean, I'm sure I'll find out, but...
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: What kind of day do you have to have?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Or what's going on inside that house that you just
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: need a moment to collect yourself.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: In the car? R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7. Have you ever done that?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Have you ever gotten home and just said, I need
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: a minute. Let me just sit in this car for
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: a second or two or three to collect my thoughts,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: to collect me as a person. Get my emotions straight
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: before I go in this house for whatever reason.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I went out yesterday to grab something off
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: the front porch, got delivered.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I look over, and my neighbor, he's just sitting in
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: his car. I don't know what he's doing, just sitting there.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: And I was thinking, man, how bad of a day.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: How crazy did your day have to get to you
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: just got to sit in the car in the driveway
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: for a minute and collect yourself? Or what's going on inside?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: That means you've got to prepare yourself to go inside.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Who does that?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7. I actually have no idea why he was doing it.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Al. What's going on?
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Romeo.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's up?
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: So I'm a knock shift worker.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: I just got off of work right now. So when
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: I get off of work, I sit in my car
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: in the morning. For how long?
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Maybe about.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: 20 minutes.
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: 20, 30 minutes. Why?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: I sit in my car to.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Listen to you. To listen to what?
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: Your phone cut out.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I sit in my car to listen to your bull
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: * * * *.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: Oh, God.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I don't have a radio in my job.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: I'm a noxious caregiver, so we don't have radios.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: I catch up on my day before I.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Go to bed.
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: Gotcha.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Well, that makes sense. That makes sense. Okay.
• 25:52
  Speaker 9: Yeah. Dude, try to collect my thoughts because I have
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: two boys at home that are boys. So I'm like, if.
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: When I left, they better left my house, I better
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: come home to a clean house.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: So that's nothing.
• 26:05
  Speaker 8: All right.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for calling. I appreciate it. Bye. That's just
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: funny to me. I mean, I don't know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rome, I sit in my car after work, pound
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: two tallies and going after a long day.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: That's my question. I get it.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: You have a long day at the office. You need
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: a couple tall boys to get you through it. But
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: why do you got to pound them in the car?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Why can't you go into the house.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And pound them? I'm just, it just, it was just
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: strange to me. I don't, I don't know why. I
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: don't know why he.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Was sitting in his car, but I mean, with nowadays,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you know what you're coming home to. Back in the day,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: you didn't know what you were getting yourself into when
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you got home. Whether the wife was mad, the husband
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: was upset, the kids were obnoxious. You had no idea
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: what you were coming home to. Nowadays, I guess you
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: know you're coming home to a fight because she's texting
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: you or he's texting you about what's this and what's that.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: So maybe that's what it is. I have no idea.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Just sitting in the car. So I go out to
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: get some packages. The front door, right? I look over
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: at my neighbor.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: He's just sitting in his car. Right in the driveway.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And I'm thinking.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: To myself, why is this dude sitting in the car?
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: What's going on? Rough day at work. Got to get
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: yourself together.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Maybe he knows that things are going chaotic inside the house,
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: so he needs to collect himself.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Why are you sitting in the car?
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: rd425477 yo.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Rome the way i do it is i take the
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: long way home and catch every red light so when
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: i get home i'm ready to go in well i
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: mean that's a better way to do it instead of
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: just sitting in the car sitting there in your driveway
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: just trying to figure out what's next in life you
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: know what Is that what's going on? You trying to
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: collect your thoughts and figure out where you went wrong today?
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, why are you sitting in the car? That's
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: what I don't know. In your driveway. What is going
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: on in your life?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: R-A-4-2-5-4-7-7-8, Romeo. I got to tell you a funny story
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: about sitting in the car. Now, we have cameras in
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: our driveway and the ring cam. My husband came home,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: thought he was slick, went and got some fast food,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: didn't bring any for nobody, and we could watch him
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: on the camera eating in the car. Me and the
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: kids just watched it, and then when he came in,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I showed him the video. It was so funny, Rome.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: He had to go back out and get us all
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: fast food just like he got.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: My man got caught, huh? I had a friend of
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: mine did that. His wife doesn't like him eating hot dogs.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: So this fool pulls up to his driveway, gets out
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: of his car, right in front of the camera, just
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: eating hot dogs.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Man, she sent that video to everybody he knew.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: I still got the video on my phone.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: It's hilarious.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: But anyway, sitting in the car, man, how bad does
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: your day have to be? Or how messed up do
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: things have to be in your house that you just
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: need a moment to sit in the car?
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: So it's funny.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I went out to grab some packages. You know, at
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: the front porch, I look over at my neighbor. He's
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: just sitting in his car in the driveway. I don't
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: know what he's doing.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: I thought, man. Why are you sitting in your car?
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: What is going on with your day that you need
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: to sit there and collect your thoughts?
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning, out what's going on.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Hey romeo i was calling about the whole sitting in
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: the car thing yeah what up brother well you know
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: i work for ups and i drive all day okay
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: when i get home honestly i just want to just
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: sit there for a second like let my mental just
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: calm down because i'm like i'm driving all day i
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: even gotta drive home and i don't want to take
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: it out on nobody you know what i'm.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Saying Oh, I see what you're saying. You're doing it
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: so that you don't go into your family. And, okay,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I see that. That makes sense, I guess.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: But I know sometimes, like, you know, everybody brings work
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: to home, and I'm like, I'm not one of those people,
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: you know?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: As a UPS driver, by the way, you buy yourself
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: all day. How can you have some mental instability that
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you're going to take out on your family?
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: You buy yourself all day, bro.
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: Well, look, I'm going to tell you something. Being a
• 30:29
  Speaker 9: driver is almost like cartoonish because so much things happen
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: during the day. And I'm not saying take it out
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: on your family. It's like I don't want to bring...
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: the energy to the family.
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: I already talked to my girl about what's going on,
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: like the crazy drivers.
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: But I just want to bring positivity to my family.
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying? I don't want to just
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: bring it. Because, you know, family, kids, you got to
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: be the best version of yourself.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue with you, but all right.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: So how long do you sit in the car?
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: Uh, well, I'm going to be honest with you. It
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: depends on what time I get off. Like, if I
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: get off at a decent time, you know, probably five minutes.
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: But if I'm out here until nine o'clock, I don't know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: it'll take like 20 minutes just to get it off me.
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: It's tiring out here.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: A lot of people be ordering around the same time, summertime,
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: waiting to bench.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: And I'm like, you know what? Y'all ordering all this
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: stuff and it's going to be clothes on there. Clothes
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: on there. in the next few weeks. But, you know, hey.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's hilarious. Well, good. All right, man. Just take
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: you a little, collect your thoughts before you go in
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: the house.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: All right. All right, man. Thanks for calling.
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: No problem.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: That makes sense, right?
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: I agree with the Romeo. I work for a repo company.
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: Sometimes you just got to sit there because people just
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: mess your day up because they're mad you didn't pay
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: their car note.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: So what, man? So people be mad at what you're.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: Doing, and you just get home, sit in the car
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: for a minute before you.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Go in the house?
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: I take a deep breath. That way I can exhale
• 32:15
  Speaker 9: and let all of the craziness out.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: You just got to let it out, Romeo. Just take
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: a deep breath and go, okay, I'm going in the house.
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Let me see what the wife wants. I don't want
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: to give her the bad news that somebody didn't pay
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: their car note and they screamed at me today.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's hilarious. Okay. All right. All right, man. Thanks
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: for calling. That is hilarious to me.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rome, gas is too expensive to just be sitting
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: in the car. That's what you got the drive home
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: from work for to think about your day, not just
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: sitting in the.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Driveway wasting gas. Who cares about that? I just wonder.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Man, what kind of day do you have to have
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: to when you come home? There's only two things that
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: it can be, right? Sitting in the car, you had a.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Day, and you need to.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Collect your thoughts, or you got a household that you
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: just don't want to walk into. So you need a
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: moment before you can handle that insanity.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Al. What's going on?
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: Yo, Rome.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: What up, man?
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: There's only two places where a man can really think
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: and come up with either great ideas or great inventions.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: And sitting down in the driveway in your car or
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: sitting on.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Your toilet, my man.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: My man was probably thinking about some great, you know,
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: what's my next move? You know what I mean?
• 33:44
  Speaker 9: Maybe.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: Let me just tell you, do you think Alexander Hamilton
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: didn't sit in the toilet and thought about writing the Constitution.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: My man?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, wow. All right.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you, Gabe.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: Driveway or go to the toilet, great ideas, my man.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: All right, later.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: My man was, so you're telling me my neighbor was
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out how to cure cancer, huh?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: While he was sitting in the driveway after work. Before
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: he went into his house, is that what was going on?
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever sat in my car after
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: getting home. And, yeah.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I guess you guys do it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: You just sit in the car after work, in the driveway,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: collect yourself before you go in.
• 34:34
  Speaker 9: Bro, bro.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: What up, man?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: How you doing today, man?
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: It's your boy Slick, man.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: Hey, what up, Slick?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: What's going on? Oh, man.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Slow motion laughing at all these cats. They got to
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: sit in the car, man.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: Like you said, the ride home should be good enough, bro.
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: I didn't understand what he was saying as a driver
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: because I drive for USPS, but.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: Like you said, you know you have a lot of
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: crazy drivers, but come on now.
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: You got to go home and to the fair now, man.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not really sure.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, logic, I guess, sounds sound, but I just don't... Man,
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I never had to sit in the car for anything,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: but I guess. I don't know.
• 35:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I collect my thoughts, but hey, that's the whole ride.
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: Home, man.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I got.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: A three-year-old and a five-year-old.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: There, they're not letting me do none of that. They're
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: going to be watching me through the window.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: Hey, daddy's home.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Why is dad out there smoking a menthol under the
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: tree before you come in?
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: Dad got something in his mouth.
• 35:34
  Speaker 6: What is he doing?
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: All right, bro. Thanks for calling us. All right, bro.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: Have a good one, bro.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I get it. I guess,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: you know, things are wild. You know, you got to
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: go in the.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I guess you got to take a moment, collect your
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: thoughts before you head in to the rest of the
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: head to the house. I don't know. I need four, two, five, four, seven, seven.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Yo, Rome, let me tell you this. I got a
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: stressful job.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: And when I get home, I got three kids and
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: a wife at home. Now, don't get me wrong, Rome.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: They all great. But every once in a while, I
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: just need a moment. But luckily for me, I don't
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: have to sit in the car. I get out, pop
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: a beer from the fridge, and just sit in the garage,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: have a beer before I go in.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: Well, same thing, sitting in the garage. All right. All right.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: I guess. 34254 is 7 to 7, yo, Rome. So
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I have a routine before I get home from work.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: I stop at the liquor store, buy a three-pack and
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: two shots.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: As soon as I get home, I sit.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: In the car, drink one beer before I go in,
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: My wife goes to work as soon as I get
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: off work, and we have two children. I got to
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: be able to drink at least one beer calm before
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: the storm.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I guess. Well, let me ask you this question, my friend.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to do the math real quick. You
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: say you buy a three-pack, I'm guessing a Tallboys, in
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: two shots. As soon as you get home, you sit
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: in the car and drink one beer before you go in.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Why you got to buy a three-pack every day and
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: two shots? When do you drink the other two tall
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: boys and two shots? As you're being a dad. I'm
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: just trying to figure out the.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Math, bro.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rome, when I get off work, I water my
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: grass plants, have a beer before I go inside, but
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: not because of my fam, but because work was rough.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Good morning, how's it going on?
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: What's up, Rome?
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: This is your glue, man. What up, Lou?
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Hey, so I like to get home and chill in
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: the car.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Only two reasons, though. One is because my car has
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: this ridiculously cold AC, man, that I love. So if
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: it's a hot day, man, I'm going to be there
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: another five, you know, ten minutes cooling off.
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: And I love it.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: And two, huh?
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead. Give me two first.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: And two is I like to chill in the car if, like, my.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: Favorite song comes out or a good song. Man, I'm
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: jamming in the car, man.
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to let just because I got to
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: my house stop that song. Just continue, you know, jam out,
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: listen to it, AC full blast, and then once it's over,
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: then I'll go inside.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: First of all, where are you going?
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: It don't matter. Sometimes I'll go pick up the kids
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: from school or drop them off or, you know, go
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: get groceries. That's where I'm going.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Somewhere in Wasco. I love to chill in the car, man.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: And if I have a B-Box after the groceries, that's
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: going down, too, you know, in the driveway, legally. Okay.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: All right, Luke. All right, Rome. Good job. R-A-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Yo, Rome, I have a spring-loaded rubber dog on my
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: walk to my front door. On a bad day, I
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: just kick it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, God, that's horrible. Hey, Rome, what is it?
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: The same neighbor who offered a beer to you? Maybe
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: he needed that beer this time.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: What a bother somebody when they're just sitting in the
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: car looking like they're collecting their thoughts, trying to figure
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: out what's next in life. I'm not bothering that dude
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to let him ride it out if he
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: needs a beer he'll come by hey Rome I sit
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: in my oh this guy said he's sitting in his
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: car and pounds two tallies a day he goes come
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: on Rome you drink every day um.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: I don't drink every day I actually I actually stop
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: drinking every day A few months ago.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: I should probably go back to drinking every day, though.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: You guys were a lot easier to deal with when
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I drank every day.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning, y'all. What's going on?
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Top of the morning, Mr. Romeo.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on, my man?
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Man, Mr.
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: Romeo, man, I just wanted you and all the listeners
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: to know, man, that the Raiders are number one in
• 40:11
  Speaker 8: their division. And ain't nobody out there could be hating
• 40:14
  Speaker 8: on us right now, man.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they beat the Miami Dolphins.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: The Miami Dolphins are like a, what, third-rate college team?
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: Well, actually, you know, they do got a Super Bowl ring.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins?
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Yes, they do.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: In 1972?
• 40:31
  Speaker 8: Hey, man, these teams ain't never got one.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: Wait, what?
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there's teams out there that play right now.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, there's teams out there?
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that ain't never even won a ring.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: But they won a ring 50 years ago.
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: Hey, we still in the ring club though, right?
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Um, I guess.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 40:56
  Speaker 8: Romeo, man, you gotta let me just have this one
• 40:59
  Speaker 8: one time, man. You never know what's gonna happen next week.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll give you this one.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: All right. Hey, Rome, the minute my husband gets off work,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: he's calling me. We talk the whole ride home for him.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: It's a 45 minute drive. We talk till he walks
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: in the door. I also call him when I get off.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: I think for both of us, after a long day,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: we use each other to calm our headaches. The only
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: time I sit in the car when I get home
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: is when Randy announces he's about to give out some tickets.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: I really want to try to win. That's pretty funny
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: right there. Let's see, Rome.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: KC 1-0 is better than the Raiders 1-0 because it
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: was a division win.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. Raider fans don't know what the hell
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: they're talking about. I get it.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Rome, why did the Chiefs play at home again on
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: a primetime game? Again, it's stupid because they're the most
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: dominant team in the last seven years.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: That's why. Or eight years. Come on, what do you mean?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: What do we got here?
• 42:04
  Speaker 9: Hey, Rome.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Let me see here. Yo, Rome, this fool Seahawk Lou
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: don't even work. What's he getting home from? That's what
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. What the hell has Lou got to sit
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: in the car for?
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: Because his AC in his car is better than his
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: AC at home. Hey, Lou, you know, MCOR, I've been
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: telling you about MCOR services, Hillcrest.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Give them a call, Lou.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: They'll fix your AC problems at the house. Hey, Rome,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Seahawk who has a car? See how glue has a car. Hey, Rome,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: when I get home, I chill in the work truck
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: for about 10 minutes because I know I'm going to
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: walk inside.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: There's going to be dishes in the sink. Trash needs
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: to be thrown. Nothing done around the house.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: And when I walk inside, my girl's son, 26-year-old person
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: that doesn't work, clean, help around the house, all he
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: does is play video games and complain about what we
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: cook for dinner. So I chill and prepare myself for
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: what I'm about to walk into so I don't go
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: off on them and then suck it up and just
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: do everything that needs to get done in 30 minutes
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: when he's been home all day. It sounds like you
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: got an issue with the house, right, with your chick.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: She better straighten him out. Hey, Rome, do you think,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: let's see, do you, hey, Romeo, do you make a
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: right turn from the middle of the lane or do
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: you go, to the right and then start turning or
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: like it's close to the right. What are you talking about?
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Why are you asking me that? I don't know. I
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: don't know why you're asking me that question. I have
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: 11 minutes from work to the house to let it
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: all out. As soon as I get home, it's strictly business.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Kiss the kids, kiss the wife, get attacked by our
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: dog and then start on dinner. and whatever's needed to
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: be done before we shut our eyes.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I just, you know, we.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Should talk about that one day, about bringing work home
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: with you. I mean, a lot of you don't know
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: how to just let it go. I mean, once you're
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: off work, you're off work. I have some friends that
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, they can just let it go. Like,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: I can let it go. Once I leave here, I'm
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: done with you fools. Which is funny because if I
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: go out in public, I still got to deal with
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: you fools. But once I leave here, I could care
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: less about work. But I guess to be fair, you
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: guys don't stress me out that much, I guess. But yeah,
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: you got to learn to leave work at work and
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: get home and just enjoy whatever it is at home.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Get a dog. You want to have a better life
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: at home? Get a dog. In fact, get two.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: Because they will love you Regardless of, they'll just love
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: you to death.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: They just want you to come home. That's all they want.
• 45:04
  Speaker 9: Hi, good morning.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Hi, you're caller 29. Congratulations.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much.

• 45:51
  Speaker 2: take a wild guess. Who is this? And they sent
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: me a picture of a little kid. um, in a
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: room with a computer, oh, that's gotta be Seahawk Lou, right,
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: that's gotta be Seahawk Lou, uh, hey, good morning, Rome, no, bruh,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: what up with these, uh, chumps talking about, I wait
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: in the car for 10 minutes to mentally prepare myself
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: to cook and clean, while the female been home, she
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: better be 10 out of 10, and give it up
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: on command. If not, get rid of her and hire
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: a pro. Get rid of that headache. Man, value yourself, bros. Brothers,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: that's why these females take advantage of so many dudes.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. I had a... Gosh, I didn't.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Really want to talk about this today. A buddy of
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: mine is mad because he makes good money.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: A real good guy.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Makes really good money, but he's been having trouble finding
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: a woman lately because he says once he gets with them,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: they always say the right things and do the right things,
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden once they get into
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: a relationship and things get a little serious, they always change.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: And he keeps asking me, he was asking me the
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: other day, Rome, why do they always change? And I
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: have a theory behind it, but I don't know if
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: I have time to deal with it today.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Hey, Rome.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Hey, my husband used to finish his tall can in
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: his personal truck before getting off at home, but now
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: he has a company truck, so he practically jumps out
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: to open his first one.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, he can't finish the tall boy in the truck?
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: All right, so we can all take the rest of
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: the day off. Actually, that's not true.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you guys something about Ritmo. You
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: guys don't know what Ritmo is. Ritmo is a steakhouse
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: over off of Hegeman. The food's amazing. drinks are delicious.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Somebody asked me about it earlier. Asked me about Ritmo.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: And it's a steakhouse. And I was just there yesterday
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: for dinner. On a, what, just a random day of
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: the week. I was over there, had a steak, had
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: a glass of Austin. Austin Hope had a, you know,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: a ribeye with some lobster mac and cheese. And vegetables
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: and just random day of the week. Now, the reason
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: I say I keep saying random day of the week
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: is because.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Do you remember I was actually talking to my mom
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: about this a couple of weeks ago and or over.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: Labor Day, she came to visit and my mom goes
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: out to dinner all the time, lunch all the time.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: And I asked her, I said, Mom, how often did
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: we go out to dinner when we lived on the reservation?
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: How often in a month would we go out to dinner?
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: She said maybe once. So when I was a kid,
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: we went out to dinner maybe once a month.
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe once to maybe pizza, right?
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: I was just out on a random day of the
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: week having steak and lobster mac and cheese.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: How things have changed. Do you remember how many times
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: you went out So going out to.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: Eat nowadays seems like it's almost an everyday occurrence for
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of people. man I don't know if anybody
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: even knows how to cook anymore but back in my
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: day when I was a kid you did not get
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: to go out to eat very much I mean maybe
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: once a month maybe you would go out once a
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: month for I don't know pizza you know nowadays I mean.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: It's just not the same, right? R-D-4-2-5-4, 7-7. Where did
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: you go?
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Where was the excitement when you actually got to go
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: out to dinner?
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Where was your spot? You know, where did mom and
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: dad take you? R-D-4-2-5-4, 7-7. Yo, Rome, we are kind
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: of like you. We only went out a couple of
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: times a month.
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: But it was always a big deal when we would
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: go to Sizzler. The steak and all-you-can-eat shrimp. My mom
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: and dad loved it. So me and my brother, we
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: had to get dressed up like we were going out
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: to a fancy dinner to Sizzler.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: That's funny. I mean, when I was a kid, I
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: worked at a Sizzler. When I just got out of
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: high school, I worked at a Sizzler. R-A-4-2-5-4-7-7. Steak and
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: all you can eat shrimp.
• 50:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Going out to dinner used to be a treat. I
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: don't know if it still is, but it used to
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: be a treat.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: You know? R-A-4-2-5-4-7-7.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Now it just seems like moms and dads don't either
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: know how to cook or want to cook, so let's
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: just grab dinner. I talked to my mom the other
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: day about going out to dinner. When I was a kid,
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: my mom said we maybe went out to dinner once
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: a month, and that was an exciting treat for us.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: That was, oh, my God, we're going out to dinner.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, and nowadays it's not the same. People just
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: go out to dinner because they're too lazy to cook.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: It's ridiculous. Good morning, Al. What's going on?
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: Where was that at?
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: On 18th Street.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah.
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: Right next to that Harley-Davidson shop.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because my dad was a biker, so we'd go
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: in the shop first, and then we'd go eat.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Oh, how crazy, and how often would you go out
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: to eat?
• 51:45
  Speaker 6: Oh, man, it was like a treat if we got
• 51:47
  Speaker 6: to go.
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: So it was like, like you said, once a month.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Once a month, yeah, wild. Once every other month.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Or somebody's birthday or something. Yeah, yeah.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: You know what? Unfortunately, and that's another thing with these birthdays.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Even on somebody's birthday, we didn't go out. We stand
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: at the house. endeavor?
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, when your birthdays are stretched far apart,
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: that's pretty good.
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: But the ones that have them.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: Too close together, we combine them.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: We combine them into treats. Oh, my God.
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: When you combine them, you get to go to the buffet,
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: the king table.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's great. That is great. Hey, thanks for calling.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: Have a good day.
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: I got to tell you, though, there's nothing worse than
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: when you used to have to combine your birthdays with
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: your cousins or with your sister or brother or something
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Nobody, like, combined at a birthday. R-D-4-2-5-4-7-7. But going out
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: used to be a treat. It really did. You know?
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: And nowadays, it's, yeah. Hey, Rome, are you going out
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: to dinner?
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Going out to dinner was Far East Chinese Restaurant here
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: in town.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's around anymore. Yeah, the girl just
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: said that. The Far East Restaurant. I mean... Yeah, going
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: out to dinner used to be a treat. It really did. Hey, Rome,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: good morning.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: I grew up in a family of 10 kids, so
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: we never ate out. The first time I had a pizza,
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I was 17, and that's because I got a job.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big families are crazy, man. You never get to
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: go out. Going out to dinner used to be a treat.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: It used to be something that you would get dressed
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: up for, be excited about. Nowadays, you know, It's ridiculous.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: It's funny that you said a big family because my
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: grandmother had nine grandchildren. No, seven grandchildren. And then a
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: couple of came with seven, like kind of original. We're
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: all I was the oldest.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: I was the firstborn.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: And then we were kind of maybe two, two to three,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: four years apart, something like that.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: And we all got a little older.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: My grandfather never wanted to take us all out at
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: one time because it was a big family. She had
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: eight kids, seven grandchildren. And that's a big check to
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: pay when you go out to dinner, right? So my grandfather,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: he'd never take us out to dinner. But individually, you
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: got to go wherever they wanted. Like I said, my
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: grandfather would get up in the morning and say, hey,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: I'm leaving at 5 a.m.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to McDonald's. Anybody's up. You can go. And
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: not all of us are getting up.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: Or my grandmother used to individually invite people to lunch
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: when we got older. She would invite us individually to
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: lunch so she wouldn't have to.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Pay for everybody, for all of us. It was great.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: She was a straight hustler, man, those two.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Remember when church dinner, a lot of people would go
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: out and have something to eat after church. You know,
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: that was a treat. You'd look forward to those days. Now,
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: you just go out whenever you want, I guess.
