0:12
Speaker 4: YouTube page and you can see me currently putting my
0:15
Speaker 4: hands inside of my shirt because it is freaking cold.
0:18
Speaker 2: So one of the things that happened recently that I
0:21
Speaker 2: feel like I need to catch the podcast fam up with.
0:24
Speaker 3: Is if you remember... The public.
0:26
Speaker 2: Situation that I had just a few weeks ago with
0:29
Speaker 2: that random man. Do you remember that man that I
0:31
Speaker 2: thought was going to kill me? He got my address.
0:34
Speaker 2: He learned about my girlfriend. I know.
0:35
Speaker 3: Okay. So let me catch you back up.
0:37
Speaker 2: So a couple of weeks ago, I was going into
0:39
Speaker 2: Publix and I was getting flowers for my girlfriend who
0:41
Speaker 2: was coming over for the weekend. And as I was
0:43
Speaker 2: walking with the flowers, this random man stopped me. He's like, man,
0:45
Speaker 2: you're going to make me look bad in front of
0:47
Speaker 2: my wife. And I was like, oh, that's a funny comment.
0:50
Speaker 2: Like yada, yada, whatever. He stops me though. In that conversation,
0:53
Speaker 2: he's like, all right, man, I want to get to
0:54
Speaker 2: know you. Like, all right, what do you do for your,
0:57
Speaker 2: for a living? And I was like, oh, I'm a
0:59
Speaker 2: radio host.
1:00
Speaker 3: He's like, oh, awesome, man. Do you always go to
1:01
Speaker 3: this Publix?
1:02
Speaker 2: I was like, Interesting question. But he was asking these
1:05
Speaker 2: questions so quick.
1:06
Speaker 1: Oh, he was asking like, where do you live? Where
1:08
Speaker 1: do I live?
1:09
Speaker 4: What's the street corner that you live on? He's like,
1:11
Speaker 4: gonna track you down.
1:12
Speaker 3: Gonna track me down. And so I walked, I was like.
1:15
Speaker 1: So he found you. He tracked you down.
1:16
Speaker 2: He did find me because one of the questions he
1:19
Speaker 2: asked me was like, hey, what's your phone number? And
1:21
Speaker 2: I just, it was so quick. It was like a
1:23
Speaker 2: method he had. And I gave him my phone number,
1:25
Speaker 2: and next thing you know, he's blowing me up on
1:27
Speaker 2: my phone. He's, you know, we're setting up, we set
1:29
Speaker 2: up a full conversation. And to kind of, I don't
1:31
Speaker 2: know if I talked about the conversation yet, but we
1:33
Speaker 2: got on the phone together. And he was kind of
1:35
Speaker 2: pitching a job opportunity for me to do, and it
1:37
Speaker 2: sounded like a pyramid scheme kind of deal.
1:40
Speaker 3: And I was like, ah, I'm not interested. I'm good.
1:43
Speaker 3: I haven't really responded to him since. But I saw
1:46
Speaker 3: that guy.
1:47
Speaker 2: This past weekend, in the same Publix, doing the same
1:51
Speaker 2: thing to another dude.
1:53
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, men.
1:54
Speaker 4: Have no survival skills because you've never lived in fear
1:58
Speaker 4: of being human trafficked.
1:59
Speaker 3: You know what?
2:00
Speaker 2: I needed this lesson because, gosh damn, I felt like
2:02
Speaker 2: I was watching another victim.
2:04
Speaker 1: What was he blowing up your phone about? What did
2:06
Speaker 1: he say?
2:06
Speaker 3: He wanted me to start working under him. That sounds
2:10
Speaker 3: so weird.
2:11
Speaker 1: I think that's usually how it goes. I'm not very
2:13
Speaker 1: familiar with the.
2:14
Speaker 3: Situation, but.
2:15
Speaker 2: What's tough about it is it sounds like it's normal stuff.
2:18
Speaker 2: It sounds like it, multi-market.
2:20
Speaker 3: What's the thing?
2:21
Speaker 1: Oh, like a pyramid scheme?
2:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, like, okay, you sell based off of how many
2:26
Speaker 2: people you bring into your circle.
2:27
Speaker 1: So he's a Mary Kay salesman.
2:29
Speaker 2: Something like that, but not for Mary Kay. I think
2:31
Speaker 2: it's like for like peptides around the area.
2:33
Speaker 1: He wasn't going to throw you in the back of
2:34
Speaker 1: his pink Cadillac.
2:35
Speaker 4: God damn.
2:38
Speaker 1: Scott's like, wait a second. I was looking for a
2:40
Speaker 1: new job. And this car, this comes with a car.
2:42
Speaker 3: And it's pink.
2:44
Speaker 2: It was fascinating to see how he set it up.
2:46
Speaker 2: He was like, well, are you interested in, you know, other,
2:48
Speaker 2: you know, making more money? I was like, everyone is.
2:51
Speaker 2: So we get on the phone and he does this
2:53
Speaker 2: whole pitch.
2:53
Speaker 3: And I'm like, this sounds like a pyramid scheme.
2:55
Speaker 1: Why is everyone trying to get you on the peptide train?
2:57
Speaker 3: I don't know.
2:58
Speaker 2: Because I'm not ready to go down that train. I'm
3:00
Speaker 2: not ready to ingest things into my body. That I
3:02
Speaker 2: haven't had enough research to really develop. Yeah.
3:05
Speaker 3: I'm good.
3:05
Speaker 2: I'm going to stay away from that. But he wants
3:07
Speaker 2: me to like form this circle and bring people.
3:09
Speaker 3: Into the network.
3:09
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm good. That's a pyramid scheme.
3:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.
3:11
Speaker 2: So I didn't, I wasn't replying anymore to him. I
3:14
Speaker 2: haven't replied since. But what was so crazy is I
3:16
Speaker 2: walked into Publix and I saw like he was facing me.
3:19
Speaker 2: I was facing him, but I saw him with his
3:20
Speaker 2: next victim doing the same exact thing that he did
3:23
Speaker 2: to me.
3:24
Speaker 3: And as I walked, but he didn't even acknowledge me.
3:26
Speaker 3: He didn't even look at me. And I looked at Brianna.
3:29
Speaker 3: I was like, we got to go. Like, that was
3:30
Speaker 3: the guy. Like, we got to get out of public
3:33
Speaker 3: right now.
3:34
Speaker 4: Oh, no.
3:34
Speaker 3: I made it a whole thing. He probably hears this.
3:37
Speaker 3: Now that he knows my phone number.
3:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're ruining his recruiting ground.
3:40
Speaker 3: That's what I found weird though.
3:42
Speaker 1: He recruits in Publix.
3:43
Speaker 4: That is kind of random, but if you think about it,
3:45
Speaker 4: if you were just trying to find like your run
3:46
Speaker 4: of the mill everyday man, where would you go?
3:48
Speaker 1: Publix.
3:49
Speaker 2: I guess, but it just feels a little, something about
3:52
Speaker 2: it feels off and I don't know what it is.
3:54
Speaker 2: Like my gut tells me something's off and I'd like
3:56
Speaker 2: to listen to my gut because in that moment I
3:58
Speaker 2: was like, do I talk to that man?
4:00
Speaker 3: And like, Let them know.
4:01
Speaker 1: Hey. Hey, stop recruiting for that job that you have.
4:04
Speaker 3: Well, not that guy. I don't want to say clear. Oh,
4:06
Speaker 3: that guy. The guy he was being, you know.
4:09
Speaker 1: Recruited.
4:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, recruited.
4:10
Speaker 2: I want to just give him a heads up like, hey,
4:12
Speaker 2: he did the same thing to me last week. It
4:15
Speaker 2: just makes me think because he has like all these
4:17
Speaker 2: opening lines. He used the flowers for me and they
4:20
Speaker 2: got to know all my information. I was luckily I
4:23
Speaker 2: guess I was a little more thoughtful.
4:25
Speaker 3: Even though I gave him my. phone number and my
4:27
Speaker 3: job and what i do here i.
4:29
Speaker 2: Didn't give him my exact address i just don't know
4:32
Speaker 2: with all those questions what else he's getting from other
4:33
Speaker 2: people it just seems off so i saw him yesterday
4:36
Speaker 2: and i'm like how many more times am i going
4:38
Speaker 2: to see the same man in that public you're.
4:39
Speaker 4: Gonna have to change publics is i you know what
4:41
Speaker 4: sucks i think i am what publics do you go to.
4:44
Speaker 2: That was one on 66th ave in saint pete so
4:49
Speaker 2: i usually either go to that one or there's one
4:51
Speaker 2: on like 38th ave There's two in very similar distance.
4:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some of that Publix.
4:56
Speaker 4: There's so many Publixes in Tampa that I feel like
5:00
Speaker 4: everybody has a Publix roster.
5:01
Speaker 1: For me, my top.
5:02
Speaker 4: Slot is the Bayshore Publix because it's the closest to me. However,
5:07
Speaker 4: the parking situation stresses me out. And it's not that
5:09
Speaker 4: there's not enough parking. It's just like getting out of
5:12
Speaker 4: getting back home to Davis Islands.
5:13
Speaker 1: Have you ever driven there? There's one way to get
5:15
Speaker 1: to D.I. and it's a bridge. And you can't just
5:18
Speaker 1: get to the bridge.
5:19
Speaker 4: You have to, like, make a big circle to get
5:21
Speaker 4: to the bridge if you're on Bayshore. And so when
5:23
Speaker 4: I go to the Bayshore Publix, in theory, the bridge
5:25
Speaker 4: is right there. But then you have to, like, go
5:27
Speaker 4: another mile and then turn around. And there's just always
5:30
Speaker 4: a lot of traffic.
5:31
Speaker 1: You can't see the cars. It's very stressful.
5:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always found that when I was going on Bayshore.
5:34
Speaker 2: I'm like, if you want to do a U-turn, you
5:36
Speaker 2: got to go. It's like 10 minutes of driving before
5:38
Speaker 2: you're like, all right, finally can flip this thing around.
5:40
Speaker 4: I know.
5:41
Speaker 3: For Davis Island, you could just walk to that Publix,
5:44
Speaker 3: can't you? Like, get a little wagon. You could be...
5:45
Speaker 3: My grandma used to do that. Get a little wagon.
5:47
Speaker 3: You go get your groceries.
5:49
Speaker 4: But if you need anything that's, like, refrigerated or frozen
5:51
Speaker 4: or something, that's a... I mean, it's a 45-minute walk.
5:54
Speaker 4: Maybe not 45 minutes. It's probably, like, 30 minutes. And
5:57
Speaker 4: I will say going over the bridge is a little
5:58
Speaker 4: dicey that I just wouldn't want to be in a
6:02
Speaker 4: position where I.
6:03
Speaker 1: Couldn't, like, get out if I needed.
6:05
Speaker 3: No, that makes sense.
6:06
Speaker 4: Not that I feel unsafe, but, I mean, it's just not... Yeah,
6:08
Speaker 4: it's not going to be, like, my.
6:10
Speaker 3: Go to.
6:10
Speaker 2: It's like what I'm learning is like you got to
6:12
Speaker 2: keep your head on a swivel at all times, especially
6:14
Speaker 2: around these areas.
6:15
Speaker 4: Something worse can happen to you other than getting a
6:17
Speaker 4: Mary Kay Ponzi scheme.
6:19
Speaker 3: I used to like those Mary Kay Cadillacs. That almost
6:22
Speaker 3: got me. They're really sweet.
6:23
Speaker 1: I was about to say, I'm like, yeah, that adds up.
6:27
Speaker 3: I fall for a lot of things. I've paid for
6:28
Speaker 3: a lot of dumb things in my life. I've learned.
6:30
Speaker 2: I think as I'm about to hit 30, I think
6:32
Speaker 2: I'm done with all that junk for now.
6:35
Speaker 3: One of the things I.
6:35
Speaker 2: Wanted to hit on, especially for all the Atlanta folks,
6:38
Speaker 2: is the restaurant that I keep seeing pop up everywhere,
6:40
Speaker 2: the Real Tacos.
6:41
Speaker 1: Yes, we got a Real Tacos, you guys.
6:43
Speaker 4: And it's so funny because one of my last restaurant
6:45
Speaker 4: meals in Atlanta was Real Tacos. And I remember thinking, dang,
6:49
Speaker 4: I was at the one on the Beltline. And if
6:50
Speaker 4: you've been there, you know it's right outside Ponce City Market.
6:53
Speaker 4: And so you can go get a margarita and get
6:54
Speaker 4: tacos and then you can bop around the Beltline. And
6:56
Speaker 4: I remember taking myself on a solo date there going.
6:59
Speaker 1: This is so nice.
7:00
Speaker 4: I'm going to miss this. Like I'm surrounded by so
7:01
Speaker 4: many people. I love that I could just bop around
7:03
Speaker 4: and do whatever I want. And now there's a fricking
7:06
Speaker 4: real tacos here.
7:07
Speaker 2: We're just taking all the ones. I do want to
7:09
Speaker 2: know more about this restaurant though. I mean, it's just,
7:10
Speaker 2: it's just a Mexican restaurant.
7:11
Speaker 1: It's just good.
7:12
Speaker 3: It looks really nice though.
7:13
Speaker 2: Like based off of the, like the pictures and the
7:15
Speaker 2: videos I saw from Tampa Terrence, who we had on
7:17
Speaker 2: this podcast a few months ago, It looked sweet.
7:19
Speaker 3: It looked massive is what it seemed like.
7:21
Speaker 4: It's a cool restaurant and they always deck it out
7:24
Speaker 4: for the holidays. I think that's like the shtick is
7:26
Speaker 4: so when it's Christmas, they kind of have like a
7:27
Speaker 4: very colorful Christmassy vibe when it's Halloween. It's very spooky
7:31
Speaker 4: in there. And then that's those are the only two
7:33
Speaker 4: I can think of. But yeah, they always decorate it
7:34
Speaker 4: in a really interesting way.
7:36
Speaker 2: I could definitely Google this, but like where in Tampa is.
7:39
Speaker 3: It, though?
7:40
Speaker 1: I think it's downtown. Let's check.
7:41
Speaker 4: Cause I think I was like, can I walk to that?
7:42
Speaker 4: Cause I do try and walk as much as possible.
7:44
Speaker 2: Cause I know, I thought it was that fancy Mexican
7:47
Speaker 2: restaurant that we just opened up.
7:48
Speaker 1: No, that's a different one.
7:49
Speaker 4: This is more just like your casual, like middle of
7:52
Speaker 4: the road. Not that like it's good. It's not like
7:56
Speaker 4: Olive Garden or it's not, you know, Chili's, but it's
7:59
Speaker 4: not like a Michelin star.
8:00
Speaker 3: You're not going to break your, you know, your bank
8:02
Speaker 3: just to get a taco.
8:03
Speaker 1: It's like a good place to go on a Friday
8:05
Speaker 1: night before you go to the bars.
8:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds nice.
8:07
Speaker 4: It's just nice enough that you can dress up for it.
8:09
Speaker 4: But if you're like in shorts and a t-shirt, you're fine.
8:11
Speaker 3: It's fine.
8:11
Speaker 1: So it's right.
8:12
Speaker 4: It's downtown, downtown. So it's not in Channel Side. It's
8:15
Speaker 4: right near Franklin Street. Oh.
8:20
Speaker 1: It's at the corner of Franklin and Polk. street near
8:26
Speaker 1: the Tampa theater.
8:27
Speaker 4: Yeah.
8:27
Speaker 2: I know where that area is at that area. It's always, well,
8:30
Speaker 2: in my opinion, it's always struggled. We used to do
8:32
Speaker 2: like crazy bar nights out over there at a place
8:35
Speaker 2: that definitely closed down. And then, you know, there's tapas
8:38
Speaker 2: places over there that closed down like a lot of businesses.
8:41
Speaker 3: It's interesting.
8:42
Speaker 2: And I'm sure this is everywhere, but there are certain
8:43
Speaker 2: areas that no matter what restaurant you put there, it
8:47
Speaker 2: just doesn't seem to ever work.
8:49
Speaker 1: And I don't want to go there.
8:50
Speaker 3: I guess.
8:51
Speaker 4: I mean, that's not too far from five 11 and
8:52
Speaker 4: gin joint. And I feel like that would be a,
8:55
Speaker 4: A pipeline like go to Real Tacos and then go
8:57
Speaker 4: to Gin Joint and or 511?
8:59
Speaker 2: Downtown Tampa, I wonder how you feel about this because
9:01
Speaker 2: I'm sure downtown Atlanta is popping.
9:03
Speaker 1: Well, it depends on when you say downtown Atlanta, what
9:05
Speaker 1: you mean.
9:06
Speaker 2: Okay, like I don't know because I've never been to
9:07
Speaker 2: like it. When I think of downtown Tampa, I think
9:09
Speaker 2: of those streets. And if you drive through downtown Tampa,
9:11
Speaker 2: it's just it's never really busy.
9:13
Speaker 3: It's not like the streets are bustling with people.
9:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that's kind of how downtown Atlanta is. But
9:17
Speaker 4: that's downtown Atlanta. The thing is, is you can go
9:20
Speaker 4: to Midtown and Midtown is what you would think of
9:22
Speaker 4: when you think of a downtown town.
9:23
Speaker 3: Gotcha. So would that be comparable to like our channel
9:26
Speaker 3: side channel side? Okay.
9:27
Speaker 4: Midtown is equivalent to channel side. Um, kind of, sort of,
9:31
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously big differences, but at the same time, like, yeah,
9:36
Speaker 4: I would say Midtown is like channel side. And then
9:38
Speaker 4: the Beltline Virginia Highlands is kind of like St.
9:41
Speaker 1: Pete.
9:43
Speaker 4: Sort of like it's walkable. It's a little bit more
9:45
Speaker 4: like hipstery, but it's still kind of a cool place.
9:47
Speaker 3: To go out. Yeah. Okay.
9:49
Speaker 2: I say that because it's like when I think of
9:50
Speaker 2: gin joint, like I, I forget about that place all
9:52
Speaker 2: the time. It's not on the main strip of like
9:54
Speaker 2: Riverwalk where everything's just lined up and it's beautiful.
9:57
Speaker 3: But that's one of the most beautiful spots. You could
10:00
Speaker 3: go and have a great cocktail. Yeah.
10:01
Speaker 4: I mean, the whole Riverwalk channel side area is great.
10:04
Speaker 4: Like I when it's not disgusting out, I love to
10:07
Speaker 4: walk and bop on down there and then spend $ 60
10:10
Speaker 4: on an entree.
10:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the only part. It's like you're going to
10:13
Speaker 3: go out there and you're going to have to spend
10:14
Speaker 3: a lot of money.
10:14
Speaker 1: It's so expensive.
10:15
Speaker 4: It's actually to the point where I think I've reached
10:17
Speaker 4: like I don't want to go out and channel side
10:20
Speaker 4: for above or for food because it's so it's like
10:23
Speaker 4: obnoxiously expensive.
10:24
Speaker 1: It's like New York prices.
10:25
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:26
Speaker 3: And that's one of the things like I I like
10:28
Speaker 3: going out every now and then.
10:29
Speaker 2: But one of my favorite things is like my birthday
10:31
Speaker 2: is coming up and Brianna's continue to ask me, like.
10:33
Speaker 3: What do you want to do?
10:33
Speaker 2: Honestly, I love either doing something at home or someone
10:38
Speaker 2: else's home where you could get so much more.
10:41
Speaker 3: For way cheaper.
10:42
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:43
Speaker 4: Or I mean, just even going to downtown St. Pete,
10:44
Speaker 4: like even downtown St. Pete's not that expensive. You just
10:47
Speaker 4: have to pay $ 75 for an Uber.
10:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
10:49
Speaker 3: Which is very expensive.
10:50
Speaker 4: But I mean, that's why people are like, man, you've
10:52
Speaker 4: been to a lot of lightning games this year. I'm like, yeah,
10:54
Speaker 4: we have club tickets. I can get blacked out for free. No,
10:57
Speaker 4: I'm kidding.
10:58
Speaker 1: I'm not getting blacked out. But like, yeah, I'm like Thursday.
11:00
Speaker 4: I'm like, why would I go to Channel Side and
11:02
Speaker 4: get a bunch of drinks when I can sit there,
11:03
Speaker 4: bring one friend that I can gossip with? And then
11:06
Speaker 4: get free food and bev.
11:07
Speaker 3: It's a great environment for that.
11:09
Speaker 2: Instead of just going to squeeze shoulders in a bar
11:11
Speaker 2: and then spend 20 bucks on a glass of wine.
11:13
Speaker 1: So shout out to my favorite person, Maiko. Love you.
11:15
Speaker 1: Love you, bestie. Love you, queen diva.
11:17
Speaker 2: Speaking of Maiko, I did try to use the connect
11:19
Speaker 2: one more time for.
11:20
Speaker 1: You did? For what?
11:22
Speaker 3: For pig jig this upcoming weekend.
11:23
Speaker 1: But aren't you working pig jig? So by the way,
11:25
Speaker 1: what is pig jig?
11:26
Speaker 3: Okay, so let me kind of break it down. So
11:27
Speaker 3: this upcoming weekend, there's a massive country fest. Coming to Tampa.
11:31
Speaker 4: Okay.
11:32
Speaker 2: So Pig Jig is a massive country concert while other
11:35
Speaker 2: people are barbecuing.
11:37
Speaker 3: So it's like a barbecue competition. Fun.
11:39
Speaker 2: And full disclosure, I've never gone. I've always heard about it,
11:42
Speaker 2: but I've never gone. I grew up loving country music. Yeah.
11:46
Speaker 2: But for a while, I kind of dropped off because
11:48
Speaker 2: there were some artists that I just didn't like.
11:51
Speaker 3: I didn't really see eye to eye with them.
11:52
Speaker 1: Care to name a few?
11:53
Speaker 2: Nah, I'm good because I'm sure they're somebody's favorite. But
11:56
Speaker 2: there also are a lot of country artists that I love.
11:59
Speaker 2: And some of those artists are coming this week in
12:01
Speaker 2: a pig jig. And my girlfriend got me back into
12:04
Speaker 2: loving country music. Yeah. So we're going to go out there.
12:06
Speaker 2: We have a friend that's going to be barbecuing. So
12:08
Speaker 2: they're going to be in the actual competition.
12:09
Speaker 1: And Thomas Rhett is performing.
12:10
Speaker 3: And Thomas Rhett's performing.
12:11
Speaker 4: Thomas Rhett is like the Bruno Mars of country music
12:14
Speaker 4: because he has so many hits that you forget about.
12:16
Speaker 2: That is a great comparison because I was listening to
12:18
Speaker 2: him as I was driving in this morning. I'm like, damn,
12:20
Speaker 2: he brings me back to high school. Like when I'm
12:22
Speaker 2: driving and I'm like, you make me wanna.
12:24
Speaker 4: You wanna.
12:25
Speaker 1: I was thinking of the same song. I love that song.
12:28
Speaker 4: Like I used to go on walks in college and
12:30
Speaker 4: listen to that song and sort of be like, I
12:32
Speaker 4: can't wait to go to the frat party.
12:33
Speaker 1: Tonight and hear that song.
12:35
Speaker 4: Like, we were in college during the best era of music.
12:39
Speaker 3: I agree 100%.
12:40
Speaker 1: We didn't know how good we had it.
12:43
Speaker 2: It makes me think, like, what college kids are listening
12:45
Speaker 2: to now. Like, if you walked into a college party
12:48
Speaker 2: right now, what songs are they playing.
12:50
Speaker 3: That you're like, yeah.
12:51
Speaker 1: Wait, that's a great question.
12:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, there's nothing.
12:54
Speaker 2: Because even we play, I mean, we play fine songs
12:56
Speaker 2: on the show. But there aren't party songs. I'm looking
13:00
Speaker 2: at the songs right now. Okay, like Dracula, the remix.
13:05
Speaker 2: I think the song that would get people going would
13:06
Speaker 2: be like, I had some help, Post Malone, Morgan Wallen.
13:09
Speaker 3: That'd be a good one. But back in our day,
13:11
Speaker 3: I mean, it was like.
13:12
Speaker 4: Thomas Rhett. But we had a good mix because we
13:15
Speaker 4: went to college in the South. I don't know what
13:16
Speaker 4: USF was listening to. We had like a pretty hard line.
13:19
Speaker 4: It was like 2015 to 2016, it was pop and country.
13:21
Speaker 4: And then I feel like 2017 to 2018, it was
13:23
Speaker 4: country and rap.
13:28
Speaker 3: Yeah.
13:29
Speaker 1: Like, well, there was even a little bit of rap
13:30
Speaker 1: in the beginning, like.
13:31
Speaker 4: Trap Queen was huge when I was a freshman. Broccoli, Caroline,
13:37
Speaker 4: Jordan Belfort. I mean, like generational hits.
13:41
Speaker 2: Yeah.
13:41
Speaker 1: Mo Bamba.
13:44
Speaker 3: Is this what our parents feel like when they're talking
13:46
Speaker 3: about their heyday?
13:46
Speaker 1: But I mean, like hearing Mo Bamba, I have like
13:49
Speaker 1: this vivid. Oh, my God, I'm gonna cry.
13:51
Speaker 4: Yeah. I feel like I'm talking about the Mona Lisa,
13:54
Speaker 4: and I'm literally like... I have this vivid memory of
13:57
Speaker 4: being in a frat house. It was either Theta Chi
13:59
Speaker 4: or Pi Cap, because it was one of the newer houses.
14:01
Speaker 1: That's what I'm picturing. I think it was Theta Chi.
14:04
Speaker 2: And.
14:04
Speaker 4: mo bamba is blasting so hard that the floors are
14:09
Speaker 4: shaking and that's how that song was that's how the
14:11
Speaker 4: lord intended you to listen to mo bamba as it
14:14
Speaker 4: should be you walk in and you hear you know
14:16
Speaker 4: it's gonna be a good night and then that part
14:21
Speaker 4: and the song's not even that good but then the
14:23
Speaker 4: part where like there's a silence and.
14:24
Speaker 3: He goes everyone's screaming it we just sound.
14:31
Speaker 4: Like absolute crazy people if you don't know that song
14:34
Speaker 4: please go listen to mobamba with your bass turned all
14:36
Speaker 4: the way up if you've never listened to it and
14:38
Speaker 4: just picture being in college and being in a frat
14:40
Speaker 4: house yes where.
14:40
Speaker 2: Like it's dark and everyone's packed in it's shoulder to
14:44
Speaker 2: shoulder you're kind of probably pretty drunk at this point
14:46
Speaker 2: yeah and screaming those lyrics.
14:48
Speaker 4: Together you can't feel your face you've had like five
14:51
Speaker 4: different white claws oh my god i'm gonna.
14:54
Speaker 2: Tear up i know i know it goes so fast
14:57
Speaker 2: that's what i wonder i'm like i don't know what the.
14:58
Speaker 3: Kids are listening to the kids let me post on.
15:00
Speaker 1: The tiki talk i feel like that's a good question that.
15:02
Speaker 2: Is a good question let me if you're in college
15:04
Speaker 2: right now what are your like this is this is
15:07
Speaker 2: it or because what i've noticed because i don't dj
15:11
Speaker 2: as much anymore but when i dj A lot of
15:13
Speaker 2: the songs that get everyone still going are the songs
15:15
Speaker 2: that you and I grew up with.
15:16
Speaker 4: But I mean, think about the stars, like the pop
15:18
Speaker 4: stars that are still big right now. It's all the
15:20
Speaker 4: people that were still cool 10 years ago.
15:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:22
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift. I mean, Selena Gomez doesn't do music.
15:25
Speaker 4: Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus, like the people that... Like, that's
15:28
Speaker 4: our generation. And our generation is just cool. I just
15:31
Speaker 4: don't think there was a pipeline to find that next
15:34
Speaker 4: star because we were fed so well. Yeah.
15:36
Speaker 3: I mean, we had a lot of good ones.
15:38
Speaker 2: And now it's like the artists that are cool now,
15:40
Speaker 2: they don't have those bangers that you could really like
15:44
Speaker 2: turn up to.
15:44
Speaker 3: Like we play like Benson Boone. Great. Sabrina Carpenter.
15:48
Speaker 1: I'm not turning that on Theta Chi.
15:49
Speaker 3: I know. Well, like Sabrina Carpenter. Probably not.
15:52
Speaker 2: Unless they have a cool remix of it. You know,
15:54
Speaker 2: that's not going to be the one that gets it.
15:55
Speaker 3: Chaperone? Maybe. You know, I've played Pink Pony Club. It
16:00
Speaker 3: just starts slow.
16:01
Speaker 4: Yeah.
16:01
Speaker 3: But everyone raves to that one.
16:02
Speaker 4: I think Chaperone could have been like our generation's Lady Gaga.
16:08
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:08
Speaker 1: Or, you know, the generation below us, maybe like Gen Alpha,
16:11
Speaker 1: Gen Z.
16:12
Speaker 4: But I think she got famous in the wrong era. Yeah.
16:16
Speaker 4: if that makes sense because i think she got famous
16:18
Speaker 4: too fast and i just don't think people are equipped
16:21
Speaker 4: to handle that kind of fame like even ella langley
16:23
Speaker 4: is talking about how she has to go back home
16:25
Speaker 4: and be like uh like what's going on i just
16:28
Speaker 4: saw the most interesting quote from tate mcrae where she's
16:31
Speaker 4: like yeah when you're a pop girl you have to
16:33
Speaker 4: literally fight against everything in your body to not become
16:36
Speaker 4: the worst human ever and i was like that's so
16:39
Speaker 4: interesting hearing somebody say that because you know that that
16:42
Speaker 4: happens when fame or recognition comes around like.
16:45
Speaker 1: It just changes you.
16:46
Speaker 4: And I don't think the people that it's happening to
16:48
Speaker 4: realize that they're changing because their normal is so abnormal
16:52
Speaker 4: and they don't know how to handle it. Nobody knows
16:54
Speaker 4: how to help them handle it, but they just end
16:56
Speaker 4: up becoming like.
16:56
Speaker 1: These crazy people.
16:57
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
16:58
Speaker 2: And that's where, you know, TikTok has been so great
17:00
Speaker 2: for artists, but because you have one video that goes viral,
17:04
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're like, wait a second. Yeah,
17:05
Speaker 2: I have a good voice, but I love when an artist,
17:08
Speaker 2: and I love their story, if they've been grinding for
17:10
Speaker 2: years and really have earned that spotlight of like, oh,
17:13
Speaker 2: you played for the smaller crowds.
17:14
Speaker 3: You played at the fairgrounds. You did your runs.
17:17
Speaker 2: And now you finally feel and appreciate the moment that
17:21
Speaker 2: you're on one of the biggest stages in the world.
17:22
Speaker 1: I feel like Olivia Deen is a really good example
17:24
Speaker 1: of that.
17:25
Speaker 4: Because I feel like she had low-key success for a while.
17:28
Speaker 4: I mean, for the love of God, I think she
17:29
Speaker 4: was dating Harry Styles at one point a couple years ago. Wow.
17:32
Speaker 1: So, I mean, she's not.
17:35
Speaker 4: She's not out of the loop, but I think when
17:37
Speaker 4: her moment came, she was fully prepared to be the superstar.
17:41
Speaker 1: That she's becoming.
17:42
Speaker 4: Yeah. Whereas I think you have a couple really big
17:45
Speaker 4: songs pop off on TikTok and you haven't had that legwork.
17:49
Speaker 1: You're kind of like.
17:51
Speaker 3: I don't think they get. I mean, it's like you said,
17:52
Speaker 3: I don't think you could handle it pressure wise.
17:54
Speaker 1: Yes.
17:55
Speaker 3: I was like, once you have a hit, it's like, OK,
17:57
Speaker 3: another one, another one, another one.
17:59
Speaker 2: And here's all this money and all you got to
18:01
Speaker 2: make the runs and you got to go meet the people.
18:02
Speaker 2: You got to be in the spotlight all the time, which, yeah,
18:06
Speaker 2: you might be talented, but maybe that's not what you're
18:08
Speaker 2: going for.
18:08
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know.
18:09
Speaker 2: Like, you know, I think of right now and we've
18:11
Speaker 2: talked to her. I love like a Stella Lefty. Yeah.
18:15
Speaker 1: I don't know.
18:16
Speaker 3: You know it.
18:18
Speaker 1: People are so mad at her.
18:19
Speaker 3: So mad. I hate that actually.
18:20
Speaker 4: They're calling her Stella Thefty because a lot of her
18:22
Speaker 4: songs sound like other songs or they think maybe she
18:25
Speaker 4: used AI to create the songs.
18:27
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:28
Speaker 2: She's somebody that, one, I love her songs. I don't
18:31
Speaker 2: really care about that whole like copy or not, whatever.
18:34
Speaker 2: But sometimes I see her and I'm like, dang, they
18:36
Speaker 2: are running her ragged right now of just like, yeah,
18:38
Speaker 2: you wanted to be a singer. She's even said she
18:41
Speaker 2: wants to be a songwriter and then all of a
18:43
Speaker 2: sudden she just became a singer and she really likes it.
18:45
Speaker 3: But now that comes with the price. You're on the road.
18:48
Speaker 2: All the time performing when you are exhausted. And if
18:51
Speaker 2: you just look at certain interviews, you're like, oh, girl,
18:54
Speaker 2: they are running you to the ground quick.
18:56
Speaker 1: And here's the.
18:57
Speaker 4: Thing about the whole Stella Thefty situation. I don't care
19:01
Speaker 4: if you've used melodies or interpolations or whatever. Like, if
19:04
Speaker 4: I like the song, I like the song. As long
19:06
Speaker 4: as the person is getting credit for it, if they
19:09
Speaker 4: deserve credit, then who cares?
19:10
Speaker 1: Like, literally, who cares?
19:12
Speaker 2: And that's where I got so mad at people online
19:14
Speaker 2: because they're like, She literally has credit and everyone's big
19:18
Speaker 2: one is with Boston with Noah Khan.
19:20
Speaker 1: But she gave Noah Khan credit.
19:21
Speaker 4: Exactly.
19:22
Speaker 3: And I still can't hear the song and think of
19:24
Speaker 3: Noah Khan song.
19:25
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound anything like Noah Khan song to me.
19:28
Speaker 4: Which I don't know anything about music, so by all means,
19:30
Speaker 4: feel free to go off. If you're like, hey, the
19:32
Speaker 4: interpolation's the same, that's fine.
19:33
Speaker 1: She gave him credit.
19:34
Speaker 2: She literally did what she needed to do, and that's
19:36
Speaker 2: give credit to the artist who had the song before.
19:38
Speaker 4: But every single artist, every single major artist has had
19:42
Speaker 4: some kind of lawsuit where they're like, hey, you're copying this.
19:45
Speaker 4: Just because there's only so many chords or so many
19:48
Speaker 4: things that sound assertive. way or so many lyrics that
19:52
Speaker 4: you can say so many ways you can phrase something.
19:54
Speaker 2: Ed Sheeran's had a bunch over the past couple of
19:56
Speaker 2: years where he's gotten in trouble, especially like with Marvin
19:58
Speaker 2: Gaye and Marvin Gaye's family coming for his songs.
20:01
Speaker 3: I'm like, Yeah, I mean, it might be slightly similar,
20:03
Speaker 3: but y'all.
20:05
Speaker 4: Come on.
20:05
Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with that song.
20:07
Speaker 1: No, I know.
20:07
Speaker 2: He's not copying it to be like, oh, I'm going
20:09
Speaker 2: to take a Marvin Gaye song. Stella Lefty's not trying
20:11
Speaker 2: to take a Noah Khan song.
20:13
Speaker 1: Or sometimes maybe I think it really is by accident.
20:15
Speaker 4: Like you're like making something and it sounds like you
20:18
Speaker 4: don't realize you're drawing upon your memories.
20:20
Speaker 1: And then of course, like give credit or whatever.
20:22
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know.
20:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just interesting to see all these artists on TikTok.
20:26
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, you want to be famous. But I
20:27
Speaker 2: think we've talked about this before. Like, yeah, I would
20:29
Speaker 2: like to be, you know. But if it just happened overnight,
20:33
Speaker 2: that's a weird feeling.
20:34
Speaker 1: You don't know how to handle it.
20:36
Speaker 4: Yeah. And I think you also have a lot of
20:38
Speaker 4: self-doubt because it comes so easy that you're like, did
20:40
Speaker 4: I just get really lucky?
20:42
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
20:42
Speaker 4: That I think that also gets in their head a
20:45
Speaker 4: lot to where, you know, yesterday you were nobody and
20:47
Speaker 4: today you're somebody. I described it because I was talking
20:50
Speaker 4: about going viral on my sub stack because I was
20:52
Speaker 4: talking about the Shane Gillis situation.
20:53
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:53
Speaker 1: Which I have a small update about that. Okay.
20:57
Speaker 4: Is going viral when you're not used to getting a
21:01
Speaker 4: certain amount of attention is sort of like being on
21:03
Speaker 4: the Carousel of Progress at Disney. Have you ever been there?
21:05
Speaker 4: Have you ever ridden that ride or seen that show?
21:07
Speaker 4: The Carousel of Progress is essentially like a moving stage.
21:10
Speaker 4: So you're sitting in an audience and the whole room
21:15
Speaker 4: spins to take you to different stages.
21:17
Speaker 3: Okay.
21:18
Speaker 4: And so the way I describe going viral is when
21:21
Speaker 4: you open up your phone and you say something, it's
21:23
Speaker 4: sort of like you're at an open mic night in your.
21:27
Speaker 1: in your hometown.
21:28
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden you're on the carousel
21:29
Speaker 4: of progress and you flip to the next room and.
21:31
Speaker 1: You're at Madison square garden.
21:33
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
21:33
Speaker 4: Because that's how quickly it can happen. And that's literally
21:37
Speaker 4: what going viral is. I mean, I posted something yesterday
21:40
Speaker 4: that has 515,000 views. I posted that in my kitchen.
21:44
Speaker 4: I was at open mic night. And now all of
21:46
Speaker 4: a sudden I'm at fucking Mercedes Benz stadiums, five nights.
21:50
Speaker 1: In a row. Do you know what I mean? Like
21:51
Speaker 1: that's the wild thing about the internet.
21:53
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it can make you, I mean, I know
21:56
Speaker 2: it personally when those moments happen, it's, it could be
21:59
Speaker 2: in a weird way, addicting very quick, but also it
22:02
Speaker 2: kind of runs you ragged. Cause you're like, well now
22:04
Speaker 2: what do I got to post again? I got to
22:05
Speaker 2: stay up with it. I got to keep all these comments.
22:07
Speaker 2: And then it's like, we've also experienced, well then people,
22:09
Speaker 2: if you're at Madison square garden, you're a lot of
22:12
Speaker 2: people love you.
22:13
Speaker 3: There's also going to be people that hate you just
22:14
Speaker 3: because you're at Madison Square Garden.
22:16
Speaker 2: And if you can't handle that hate, it's a very
22:18
Speaker 2: uncomfortable feeling because you're like, yo, all I did is
22:20
Speaker 2: put a video up.
22:21
Speaker 4: Yeah.
22:22
Speaker 3: And now you hate me for it.
22:23
Speaker 2: I know.
22:23
Speaker 4: And so I'm glad that I'm at the age now
22:25
Speaker 4: when I've received all the horror comments from the Shane
22:27
Speaker 4: Gillis fans, because I genuinely kind of like just what
22:30
Speaker 4: we talked about with the people who have to work
22:32
Speaker 4: their way up to getting a certain amount of attention
22:34
Speaker 4: to really be able to handle it well. I've gone
22:36
Speaker 4: viral so many times just on random occasions that I
22:40
Speaker 4: know that you got to post. And as long as
22:43
Speaker 4: it's not a cancelable offense, like you using some kind of,
22:45
Speaker 4: I don't know, offensive word, like the word whore towards
22:47
Speaker 4: a woman.
22:48
Speaker 2: Yeah.
22:49
Speaker 4: Like you put your phone down and don't don't ingest it.
22:52
Speaker 4: Like you put out your work.
22:53
Speaker 1: And you move on.
22:54
Speaker 3: Exactly.
22:55
Speaker 2: It's not this thing that I think for me, when
22:57
Speaker 2: I think about it, if I was 24, I wouldn't
23:00
Speaker 2: have been able to handle it.
23:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
23:02
Speaker 2: I just know myself. I was I was well, I
23:04
Speaker 2: was mature enough. But I still think my ego would
23:06
Speaker 2: have gotten to me if I had just quick success.
23:09
Speaker 2: All of a sudden it just came. Money came and
23:11
Speaker 2: stages came where I look at it. I'm like, OK,
23:13
Speaker 2: you needed those times to kind of really appreciate every
23:16
Speaker 2: stage along the way, which that's when you have an
23:20
Speaker 2: open mic like your phone and you could just one
23:22
Speaker 2: day create an account and then just be one of
23:24
Speaker 2: the biggest influencers in the world. That's an insane feeling
23:28
Speaker 2: that sadly we are seeing a lot of the people that,
23:32
Speaker 2: you know, probably shouldn't be there.
23:35
Speaker 3: But they have it. Well, I don't need to name
23:37
Speaker 3: any names right now.
23:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it is cool, though. Like, yesterday, I got
23:40
Speaker 1: an email from the Huffington Post.
23:41
Speaker 3: What?
23:42
Speaker 4: I'm getting interviewed for a Shane Gillis article.
23:44
Speaker 2: What?
23:45
Speaker 1: I've been working on my answers all morning.
23:47
Speaker 3: What the fuck? I know.
23:49
Speaker 1: I'm trying to, like, figure out the right way to
23:51
Speaker 1: say what I want to say.
23:52
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
23:54
Speaker 1: I know, isn't that wild?
23:55
Speaker 3: How many, okay, what the fuck?
23:56
Speaker 1: It's just, like, three questions.
23:57
Speaker 4: It's really not that big of a deal, but I
23:58
Speaker 4: was like, oh, my God, I'm, like, getting noticed.
24:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's, I mean, it's.
24:01
Speaker 1: Am I an influencer?
24:03
Speaker 2: Uh, yes, that's an easy answer, but what is, um,
24:07
Speaker 2: what is that video at, like, views or like what?
24:09
Speaker 4: I think it's, the one on my Instagram's at a million,
24:12
Speaker 4: and then I have two other ones.
24:13
Speaker 1: One's at 500k, one's at, like, 400k.
24:16
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
24:16
Speaker 1: And then I posted the mugshot one, that one got 600k.
24:19
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, you're tapping.
24:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:22
Speaker 3: That's cool, though.
24:23
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the deal with the Shane Gill, like,
24:25
Speaker 2: those things deserve to be discussed.
24:27
Speaker 4: 100%.
24:27
Speaker 1: Everyone's allowed to have a say.
24:31
Speaker 2: What's crazy is that, you know, and again, the people
24:35
Speaker 2: that can't try to see or understand exactly what you're
24:37
Speaker 2: trying to say or other influencers like you that are saying.
24:40
Speaker 3: Yeah. Like, those are the people that bother me. I'm like,
24:43
Speaker 3: listen for a second. Just listen. Like, forget the joke
24:45
Speaker 3: just for a second. The crazy thing is it's not.
24:48
Speaker 3: I know that's that's.
24:49
Speaker 4: That's what I the whole thing that enrages me is
24:51
Speaker 4: they're like it's a joke by the way I'm.
24:52
Speaker 2: Like you know why people say it's a joke because
24:54
Speaker 2: he's a comedian yeah like let's just take the fact
24:57
Speaker 2: that like let's say if we just stripped aside Shane
24:59
Speaker 2: Gillis's name and we just heard the phrase let's just
25:02
Speaker 2: hear the joke I've.
25:04
Speaker 4: Been to the gym that's that's in my answer do
25:06
Speaker 4: you want to hear it oh my god yes so
25:08
Speaker 4: I got asked about like how did I feel about
25:10
Speaker 4: it just in general And I'm very proud of this line.
25:13
Speaker 4: The last line says, I post. Oh, wait, I'll just
25:17
Speaker 4: give you my answer. And I might change this. I
25:19
Speaker 4: might workshop this a little bit more. But I just
25:22
Speaker 4: said I I thought Shane's comment was pretty distasteful. And
25:25
Speaker 4: what I find worse is the amount of hatred directed
25:27
Speaker 4: at women who simply said they didn't think it was funny.
25:30
Speaker 4: I posted a video online saying as much. Men in
25:32
Speaker 4: my comments were very quick to call me every name
25:34
Speaker 4: under the sun, including whore, and we all understood exactly
25:38
Speaker 4: what they meant by that. But when a comedian says
25:40
Speaker 4: the exact same thing on a stage, I'm supposed to
25:43
Speaker 4: take it.
25:43
Speaker 3: As a joke. That's a great answer.
25:45
Speaker 4: Right.
25:45
Speaker 1: Girl, I got some good lines in here. Yeah, because
25:49
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's so many people that are like, it's
25:51
Speaker 1: a joke.
25:51
Speaker 4: And I think they just say that to make themselves
25:53
Speaker 4: feel more comfortable about the fact that they weren't bothered
25:58
Speaker 4: by it. Then they are bothered by the fact that
26:00
Speaker 4: you're bothered by it. Cause I think it calls out
26:02
Speaker 4: whatever like weirdness is in them. Like if I find
26:05
Speaker 4: it funny and I'm sitting here saying, why do you
26:08
Speaker 4: find that funny? Um, it makes them more comfortable to speak.
26:10
Speaker 1: Well, it's a joke. It's a joke.
26:12
Speaker 4: Yeah.
26:12
Speaker 3: If it's a joke, you should be able to, anybody
26:14
Speaker 3: should be able to.
26:14
Speaker 1: Read it back and explain why it's explaining to me
26:18
Speaker 1: why it's funny.
26:18
Speaker 4: Yeah.
26:18
Speaker 2: It's like, cause I can't really think of the exact
26:20
Speaker 2: quote right now, but it's like what I just started
26:23
Speaker 2: going to the gym again and what women.
26:25
Speaker 3: Are dressed as whores.
26:26
Speaker 4: That's i'm like wait if you said that on this
26:29
Speaker 4: podcast do you know how many people would be like
26:33
Speaker 4: get him off on filter get him off we're a
26:35
Speaker 4: women leading station if you said and of course people
26:38
Speaker 4: are gonna say well the context is different and you
26:40
Speaker 4: know he said other things afterwards i'm like no he
26:43
Speaker 4: literally i mean that was it those were the words
26:46
Speaker 4: that he said and then he kept going and then
26:48
Speaker 4: didn't even have a joke he just described what women
26:50
Speaker 4: wore he was like and then they wear the scrunchie.
26:55
Speaker 1: What are they called? The scrunchie shorts.
26:57
Speaker 3: Yeah.
26:57
Speaker 4: The scrunchie shorts. And I'm like, yeah, that's how they
27:01
Speaker 4: make them on Amazon.
27:02
Speaker 2: Correct.
27:03
Speaker 3: That's the clothing.
27:04
Speaker 4: You know?
27:05
Speaker 3: It is fascinating.
27:06
Speaker 2: I appreciate when people are able to have discussions about it.
27:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:12
Speaker 4: The funny thing is I wasn't even really bothered by
27:14
Speaker 4: it that much. I'm more bothered by the fact that
27:16
Speaker 4: there's so many men online saying, You should find it funny.
27:20
Speaker 4: Like this is a derogatory term used to describe women.
27:24
Speaker 1: You should find it funny. Why are you telling me
27:26
Speaker 1: I should find this funny? I'm going on my soapbox.
27:28
Speaker 2: Anyway, I mean, it's really cool that one you're getting
27:30
Speaker 2: noticed in that way to be able to talk about
27:32
Speaker 2: these things because you do have really good opinions on things.
27:34
Speaker 1: Well, because I just don't understand.
27:36
Speaker 4: And I said this on our DM disaster, which sorry,
27:39
Speaker 4: by the way, it's the third day in a row
27:40
Speaker 4: we're talking about this. If you don't know if the
27:43
Speaker 4: Shane Gillis thing is at this point, just Google it. Um,
27:46
Speaker 4: we were doing a DM disaster where one of our
27:47
Speaker 4: callers called in and said, I don't know how to
27:49
Speaker 4: feel about the fact that my boyfriend finds it funny.
27:52
Speaker 4: He's an otherwise really great guy and I love him,
27:54
Speaker 4: but he can't see my point of view as to
27:57
Speaker 4: why I think it's so offensive. And I didn't get
28:00
Speaker 4: the chance to say it on the DM disaster, but I,
28:03
Speaker 4: I'm like, that to me is kind of. the ticking
28:06
Speaker 4: point in your relationship is it's not that he found
28:08
Speaker 4: it funny, but like when you said, Hey, this is
28:09
Speaker 4: actually really hurtful. He goes, well, you should just find
28:11
Speaker 4: it funny.
28:11
Speaker 3: That's the part.
28:12
Speaker 4: Cause anything else, like if I told you, you hurt
28:14
Speaker 4: my feelings and you go, well, you shouldn't feel that way.
28:16
Speaker 1: You would be like, okay, that's.
28:18
Speaker 3: Not a good response. What the hell?
28:21
Speaker 4: Um, and the point that I feel really strongly about,
28:24
Speaker 4: and I don't know if this is going to land
28:25
Speaker 4: because I understand there's varying degrees of severity for certain
28:29
Speaker 4: derogatory words. I understand that, but like, I don't understand
28:33
Speaker 4: why women can't be respected when we say this is
28:36
Speaker 4: a term that's degrading to us or it has been
28:38
Speaker 4: used to degrade us in the past.
28:40
Speaker 1: Correct.
28:40
Speaker 4: Anytime we have said that about other derogatory terms in
28:43
Speaker 4: the past to describe other groups of people, we go,
28:46
Speaker 4: oh yeah, that's like a cancelable offense now.
28:48
Speaker 1: So like, don't say that.
28:49
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:49
Speaker 3: So like we're done with that.
28:50
Speaker 2: Yes.
28:51
Speaker 3: We're going to have a better way of going about it.
28:52
Speaker 1: But because women, not a better way, just like, you know,
28:55
Speaker 1: there are certain words you don't.
28:56
Speaker 4: Use to describe people because it's offensive. And when women
29:00
Speaker 4: say it, it's just kind of like, well, you're being emotional.
29:03
Speaker 4: You know, just like when we had the whole discussion
29:06
Speaker 4: when I first got on this podcast about being called
29:07
Speaker 4: that bitch, like I'm just supposed to find that funny.
29:10
Speaker 1: And am I fine with it now? Yes, because we've
29:12
Speaker 1: talked it out.
29:12
Speaker 4: It's like it's fine, you know, but being called a
29:16
Speaker 4: bitch and a whore is derogatory towards women.
29:20
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:20
Speaker 3: I mean, it's exactly what it comes down to.
29:22
Speaker 2: And the lack of trying to understand or see instead
29:25
Speaker 2: of just like, no, it's just a joke.
29:26
Speaker 3: Understand that. That's that's the problem. Yeah.
29:29
Speaker 4: And I can't believe that I have to get on
29:30
Speaker 4: here and explain that. That's the crazy thing about the Internet. Like,
29:33
Speaker 4: for example, I'll give you another video that I posted yesterday.
29:36
Speaker 4: I posted the mugshot thing where I was like, I
29:38
Speaker 4: think these guys are hot. Should I ignore their charges?
29:40
Speaker 4: And of course the punchline is no, like you don't
29:42
Speaker 4: ignore their charges just because someone's hot.
29:44
Speaker 1: Like that's, but it's funny because.
29:46
Speaker 4: The, the humor in it shane gillis is that there's
29:50
Speaker 4: there's a hint of raw uncomfortable truth in it that
29:53
Speaker 4: like i saw a mugshot of someone who might be
29:55
Speaker 4: convicted of like a heinous crime and i'm like.
29:57
Speaker 3: Well yeah it's something everyone has thought.
30:00
Speaker 4: That's the uncomfortable and raw truth and i was nervous
30:03
Speaker 4: posting that because i didn't want people to think that
30:05
Speaker 4: i would be complicit in their whatever their crime was
30:07
Speaker 4: like if it was a domestic violence thing or whatever
30:10
Speaker 4: and one of the ones that i'm like okay i
30:11
Speaker 4: definitely don't want to mess around here was duis yeah
30:14
Speaker 4: And immediately when I saw that they had DUIs, I
30:17
Speaker 4: was like, oh, no, immediately no. Because I didn't want
30:19
Speaker 4: to minimize that. Not that I think that I needed
30:21
Speaker 4: to not minimize the other ones.
30:22
Speaker 1: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Disclaimer there.
30:24
Speaker 4: Yeah. But I was just kind of like, yeah, that's
30:26
Speaker 4: not really what I want to mess around with because
30:27
Speaker 4: I don't know how to justify that.
30:29
Speaker 1: And then there's comments of people being like, you know,
30:31
Speaker 1: a lot of normal people get DUIs.
30:32
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I can't believe I have to sit
30:34
Speaker 4: here and argue with you about whether or not I
30:36
Speaker 4: should be complicit in someone getting a DUI.
30:39
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
30:39
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
30:40
Speaker 4: Like, if I dated a guy and I found out
30:43
Speaker 4: he had a DUI, okay, that's like a conversation for
30:46
Speaker 4: another day.
30:46
Speaker 3: It's a private conversation, but on a post on Instagram,
30:48
Speaker 3: it's like, imagine if you.
30:50
Speaker 1: What am I supposed to be like?
30:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, he could have totally killed someone with drunk driving,
30:53
Speaker 4: but whatever.
30:54
Speaker 3: You're right.
30:55
Speaker 2: A lot of normal people do it. I didn't watch
30:58
Speaker 2: all the video, but I saw it pop off.
31:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
31:00
Speaker 1: It popped off like crazy on TikTok.
31:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw.
31:03
Speaker 1: What were some of.
31:05
Speaker 3: The ones, though, that you're like, I can look past?
31:07
Speaker 1: I mean, not all of them. I think there was
31:10
Speaker 1: one that I posted.
31:11
Speaker 3: Just for fun.
31:12
Speaker 4: There was one, he was like, possession of cocaine. And
31:14
Speaker 4: I was like, well, I mean... I've been in a
31:17
Speaker 4: room with cocaine. Like, does that, like, you know.
31:20
Speaker 3: That's funny.
31:21
Speaker 2: So.
31:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:22
Speaker 4: Okay.
31:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:23
Speaker 2: Okay.
31:23
Speaker 3: I like that. But that's the difference.
31:25
Speaker 2: It's like you're calling out something that we've all thought,
31:27
Speaker 2: but you're like finding the humor in it.
31:28
Speaker 1: Yes.
31:29
Speaker 4: I was so relieved when I saw the women in
31:31
Speaker 4: the comments being like, girl, we need to have like
31:32
Speaker 4: a wine night.
31:33
Speaker 1: This is so funny. And I was like, thank you.
31:35
Speaker 1: That's the goal. And that's what I love when people
31:37
Speaker 1: say it's a joke. Take it.
31:39
Speaker 4: Like, that's the video kind of video I'm talking about. Like,
31:42
Speaker 4: it is politically incorrect to be like, let's look.
31:44
Speaker 1: Past their crimes. But it's satire.
31:47
Speaker 3: It's satire, y'all.
31:48
Speaker 1: That's, Shane Gillis, that is satire. Not women are whores. Anyway,
31:51
Speaker 1: I'm going to get off my soapbox.
31:52
Speaker 3: There you go. Well, I thought it was a very
31:53
Speaker 3: interesting thing. That's cool. When do you have to have
31:55
Speaker 3: the HuffPost in by?
31:57
Speaker 1: Today.
31:57
Speaker 4: I think I want to talk to Jenna about it.
31:58
Speaker 4: I want to make sure that she's cool, which I
32:00
Speaker 4: know she's going to be. But I would like for
32:02
Speaker 4: somebody else to read my answers. Oh, yeah.
32:04
Speaker 1: Just so I'm not submitting it in a vacuum.
32:07
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
32:08
Speaker 3: Have other people's opinions, not mine. Jenna's would be great.
32:10
Speaker 1: But I have some great lines, you guys.
32:12
Speaker 3: Like, I'm very.
32:14
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to putting it out there to the world.
32:16
Speaker 3: Add that to the resume.
32:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
32:18
Speaker 1: Featured in the Huffington Post.
32:19
Speaker 3: Hey, they have some good stuff up there. That's really cool.
32:22
Speaker 3: I like the discussions that are going on.
32:23
Speaker 2: But I did bring up, okay, so let's backtrack a
32:26
Speaker 2: second as we got off the soapbox. So how do
32:30
Speaker 2: we end up, okay, we went from Pig Jig to
32:32
Speaker 2: Atlanta to the restaurant.
32:34
Speaker 3: Okay. Back to the restaurant situation with Real Tacos. Yeah.
32:38
Speaker 2: I just had this as a thought because is Real Tacos,
32:41
Speaker 2: that would be considered like a chain restaurant.
32:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, a franchise.
32:45
Speaker 3: A franchise.
32:45
Speaker 1: I don't know, chain.
32:46
Speaker 4: I don't know if those are different things, but like
32:48
Speaker 4: a franchise. Like there's different locations.
32:51
Speaker 2: So let's just do like a big umbrella really quick
32:53
Speaker 2: of chain or franchise restaurants that you're willing to die
32:57
Speaker 2: on the hill for. The ones that you actually think
33:00
Speaker 2: are worth it. No matter how many franchises they open,
33:03
Speaker 2: how much of a chain it is, you still, you
33:06
Speaker 2: can't look past that chicken dip. You can't look past
33:08
Speaker 2: their main dish. What are the restaurants that come into
33:11
Speaker 2: mind for you? Because a lot of times- As soon
33:13
Speaker 2: as something becomes a chain, people just poo-poo on it.
33:16
Speaker 3: It's a chain.
33:16
Speaker 4: Well, because sometimes the quality goes down.
33:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
33:19
Speaker 2: But what keeps the quality in your eyes? Because it sounds.
33:22
Speaker 3: Like real tacos. You keep the quality. You get a ding.
33:25
Speaker 3: I can't wait to try you.
33:26
Speaker 4: Can I say something vulnerable and honest with you?
33:30
Speaker 3: Of course, yeah.
33:32
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time I went to a
33:33
Speaker 1: chain restaurant.
33:33
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah.
33:36
Speaker 4: And I think it's because when I go out to eat,
33:38
Speaker 4: I like it for it to be an event. Like
33:40
Speaker 4: I like to get dressed up and go somewhere cool.
33:42
Speaker 3: No, that makes sense.
33:43
Speaker 1: Applebee's is typically not on the list.
33:47
Speaker 3: Even like if it's like a fast food place.
33:48
Speaker 2: OK, so the one that I want to start going
33:51
Speaker 2: to more, that is a I'd say it's a chain
33:55
Speaker 2: chicken salad chicken. Okay.
33:56
Speaker 3: That one.
33:57
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, oh. I take that. I mean, like, if
33:59
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about, like, Chick-fil-A.
34:01
Speaker 3: Well, yeah. I mean, in that range, okay, Chick-fil-A could count.
34:04
Speaker 2: But I was also going to bounce this up because
34:05
Speaker 2: a lot of people, you know, will poo-poo on, like,
34:08
Speaker 2: an Olive Garden.
34:08
Speaker 3: Okay. In my opinion. I've actually never had a bad
34:11
Speaker 3: experience at Olive Garden.
34:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's just, I mean, it's Italian food.
34:14
Speaker 3: I know, but, like, here's the thing.
34:15
Speaker 2: I've gone to Italian restaurants, like, kind of nice ones
34:18
Speaker 2: in this area, and it just, like, it lacks flavor. Like, truthfully, like, yeah,
34:22
Speaker 2: the pasta's fine, but I'm like, I could have used
34:24
Speaker 2: more sauce. You know who wouldn't have lacked sauce?
34:28
Speaker 1: Olive Garden.
34:29
Speaker 4: It's funny that you say that, because I feel like
34:31
Speaker 4: every time I talk to Tampa locals, they always mention
34:34
Speaker 4: how there's no good Italian food here.
34:35
Speaker 3: That's crazy. Well, I can't say, because I've never been
34:38
Speaker 3: to Olivia, so I don't know how good that is,
34:40
Speaker 3: but it looks good.
34:40
Speaker 4: In my mind, Olivia's not really an Italian restaurant.
34:43
Speaker 3: The hell is it?
34:44
Speaker 4: It's like in a, it's, I don't know, it just
34:46
Speaker 4: seems like more American food.
34:49
Speaker 1: Than Italian.
34:50
Speaker 3: Okay.
34:50
Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
34:51
Speaker 4: I mean, it is an Italian restaurant, but when I
34:53
Speaker 4: think of Olivia, I don't immediately think pasta.
34:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think chicken parm, which then I think Italian.
34:59
Speaker 4: But that's like an Americanized Italian thing.
35:01
Speaker 3: That's true. It's not like a traditional, like what would
35:05
Speaker 3: you want if it's traditional Italian?
35:06
Speaker 1: Like fresh pasta.
35:07
Speaker 2: Yeah.
35:08
Speaker 1: And so that was my disappointment.
35:09
Speaker 4: And I, listen, I will die on this hill that
35:11
Speaker 4: the most overrated restaurant in Tampa is the Michelin rated Roca.
35:15
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. I've never had their main, actually I've never
35:17
Speaker 3: even been in, so I can't comment.
35:18
Speaker 4: The only thing that I think is worth going, and
35:21
Speaker 4: honestly it is that good that I do think you
35:22
Speaker 4: should go and try it, is the mozzarella cart.
35:25
Speaker 3: That sounds awesome.
35:26
Speaker 4: Go there, I don't know if they have a bar,
35:28
Speaker 4: but sit at the bar, order the mozzarella and wine.
35:31
Speaker 1: And that to me would be the perfect girl dinner.
35:33
Speaker 3: Then you're having a perfect night out. Yes.
35:35
Speaker 2: If you get an expensive dish, then we're kind of
35:37
Speaker 2: talking like, I think it's, you think it's the price
35:39
Speaker 2: versus the taste ratio. Like it just, it doesn't live
35:42
Speaker 2: up to the price that you're paying.
35:43
Speaker 4: It's one of the only Michelin rated restaurants. I think
35:46
Speaker 4: it's got a Michelin star. It's one of the only
35:49
Speaker 4: places in Tampa with a Michelin star and it's in
35:51
Speaker 4: an apartment complex and the.
35:53
Speaker 1: Pasta is bad.
35:56
Speaker 4: Um, and my entire family agrees with me and my Family, like,
35:59
Speaker 4: you know, is not as big of a hater as
36:00
Speaker 4: I am. Like, we went to Roca because my brother
36:02
Speaker 4: was raving about it. And we did get the mozzarella
36:05
Speaker 4: cart at his behest.
36:06
Speaker 1: It was great.
36:07
Speaker 4: But then we ordered every pasta on the menu. I
36:09
Speaker 4: couldn't name you a single one that I enjoyed. Damn.
36:12
Speaker 3: Was it just, like, it was just lacking flavor?
36:14
Speaker 4: The flavor was bad. Like, it was either too spicy.
36:17
Speaker 4: And listen, I'm not, like, against spicy food. But, like,
36:19
Speaker 4: it's got to be good. And if something's overwhelmingly spicy,
36:22
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, now I can't even eat it. I
36:24
Speaker 4: ordered a lemon crab pasta and it was way too
36:27
Speaker 4: acidic that I'm like, this literally tastes like I threw
36:29
Speaker 4: it up and then like I'm eating it.
36:30
Speaker 1: Like that's how acidic it was.
36:31
Speaker 4: Wow.
36:32
Speaker 3: And it couldn't have been like just an off day
36:33
Speaker 3: for them? I mean, I don't think so.
36:35
Speaker 4: I mean, all the dishes were so bad that I'm like,
36:37
Speaker 4: I don't, I will say the desserts were really good.
36:39
Speaker 1: Okay.
36:40
Speaker 3: One point.
36:40
Speaker 1: I would go, go to Roca and have girl dinner,
36:42
Speaker 1: but I would never order a pasta from them.
36:44
Speaker 2: The one I've, people are talking bad Italian. I mean,
36:47
Speaker 2: I've had the best places I've talked about Savion Wine Locker.
36:50
Speaker 2: I think they have great pasta and it's all fresh.
36:53
Speaker 2: Or what's the other one?
36:54
Speaker 3: Bella Brava. Bella Bravo.
36:57
Speaker 2: But back to the chain restaurants that are like, oh,
36:59
Speaker 2: that's actually worth it. Because we were looking yesterday. Where
37:02
Speaker 2: did we go?
37:03
Speaker 3: We saw like a Longhorn Steakhouse.
37:05
Speaker 4: Yeah.
37:05
Speaker 3: And I thought to myself. Honestly, I could probably throw
37:08
Speaker 3: down some Longhorn.
37:09
Speaker 4: I think Logan's Roadhouse. I used to really like growing up.
37:12
Speaker 3: That sounds like it. I know not Logan's Roadhouse. I
37:14
Speaker 3: know Texas Roadhouse. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:17
Speaker 1: I'm sure that one's good too.
37:18
Speaker 4: Any place, honestly, if a chain restaurant has good bread,
37:21
Speaker 4: I'm willing to go.
37:22
Speaker 1: Like Outback.
37:23
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:24
Speaker 4: I haven't been to Outback in a minute. But if
37:26
Speaker 4: anybody asked me to go to Outback, I'd be.
37:28
Speaker 3: Like, hell yeah. Yeah, like it lives up to it.
37:29
Speaker 3: What are the ones that you think are like, uh-uh?
37:32
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. Well, I just don't... You don't even like
37:34
Speaker 3: going to him in general.
37:35
Speaker 4: I don't really like going to him in general, so
37:36
Speaker 4: I'm not going to be like... I mean, they're all
37:38
Speaker 4: kind of like, meh. I would go get a Chili's,
37:41
Speaker 4: but I think people get more hyped about Chili's than
37:43
Speaker 4: I think it deserves.
37:44
Speaker 3: Chili's is having like a resurgence moment.
37:46
Speaker 1: It really is.
37:47
Speaker 3: Because of that dessert.
37:47
Speaker 2: What's the one where you take the spoon and you
37:49
Speaker 2: smack that little ball of chocolate?
37:52
Speaker 3: Have you seen that video?
37:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
37:53
Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about. I don't want to
37:55
Speaker 3: sound crazy here.
37:55
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. And the triple dipper.
37:57
Speaker 1: I would like to try a triple dipper.
37:59
Speaker 2: See, I had the triple dipper, okay, maybe a couple
38:01
Speaker 2: months ago. And I saw all the rave about it again.
38:04
Speaker 2: I remember it as a kid.
38:06
Speaker 3: And it just, I don't know. It just, nah. You feel,
38:08
Speaker 3: you feel, eh, afterwards.
38:10
Speaker 4: I know.
38:10
Speaker 1: You can't have too much of it.
38:11
Speaker 2: That's the problem where I'm like, yeah, it sounds fun.
38:13
Speaker 2: It sounds like a good time. Watch a game, have
38:15
Speaker 2: all that.
38:15
Speaker 3: And then you're like, ooh.
38:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't like to feel icky.
38:18
Speaker 2: You know what lived up to its hype the other day?
38:20
Speaker 2: We're watching football and we got wing, what is it?
38:22
Speaker 2: Wing stop? I think wing stop or wing house.
38:25
Speaker 4: One of those.
38:26
Speaker 3: And it was fantastic.
38:27
Speaker 4: Really?
38:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, because usually I drive by that place and I'm like,
38:31
Speaker 2: that looks like it's going to, I don't know, it's
38:33
Speaker 2: going to upset my stomach.
38:34
Speaker 1: Do you want to hear something surprising about Wingstop?
38:36
Speaker 4: What?
38:36
Speaker 1: They have them in London. Oh, really?
38:38
Speaker 4: I remember I was out with a guy. I don't
38:40
Speaker 4: know if I can say I was dating him.
38:41
Speaker 1: I wasn't dating him. I was going on dates with him.
38:43
Speaker 4: Yes. And he was like, are you hungry? Do you
38:45
Speaker 4: want to get something to eat? And he pulls out
38:47
Speaker 4: a coupon for Wingstop.
38:49
Speaker 3: You fuck.
38:50
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I'm in one of the biggest foodie
38:53
Speaker 1: cities in the country. How about going to Wingstop?
38:55
Speaker 3: So you told him no?
38:56
Speaker 1: I was like, no.
38:58
Speaker 3: It was pretty good.
38:58
Speaker 1: He did give me french fries, though.
38:59
Speaker 3: There you go.
39:00
Speaker 1: He was nice until he wasn't.
39:01
Speaker 3: Counts.
39:02
Speaker 2: I thought that was a place I was like, you
39:03
Speaker 2: know what? That's a chain that I'll go back to again.
39:05
Speaker 1: Wingstop?
39:06
Speaker 4: Yeah.
39:06
Speaker 2: I was like, they impressed me with how good their
39:09
Speaker 2: wings were.
39:10
Speaker 1: Can I bring up a question I don't know the
39:11
Speaker 1: answer to?
39:12
Speaker 3: Okay.
39:12
Speaker 1: About going out to a sports bar, essentially.
39:14
Speaker 4: Yeah. I have been wanting to go across the street
39:18
Speaker 4: to my local sports pizza bar and like watch a game.
39:23
Speaker 4: But the thing is, I'm not in the mood to
39:25
Speaker 4: drink and I don't want to eat their food.
39:27
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, that's good.
39:27
Speaker 1: What do I do?
39:28
Speaker 3: You don't go. You got to get one drink at least.
39:31
Speaker 1: That's the problem is I'm like, I don't want to
39:33
Speaker 1: drink alcohol.
39:34
Speaker 4: I'm like, I would go there and order a Diet Coke,
39:37
Speaker 4: but I don't want to like sit there and order
39:39
Speaker 4: a Diet Coke and take up.
39:39
Speaker 1: A bar stool.
39:40
Speaker 3: I wonder how that hits for bartenders.
39:42
Speaker 1: That's what I mean.
39:43
Speaker 3: Because if you're just getting a Diet Coke, that's like $ 2.
39:45
Speaker 3: You got to be.
39:48
Speaker 4: I guess I could just go up to the bar,
39:50
Speaker 4: sit there, slide them a 10 and go, I just
39:52
Speaker 4: want unlimited Diet Coke.
39:53
Speaker 1: Can I sit here? And then just... 100%. I think
39:56
Speaker 1: that'd be fine. You know what? That's really what I
39:58
Speaker 1: should do.
39:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, because this way you still want the environment. Like,
40:00
Speaker 3: and I'm, you know.
40:02
Speaker 2: If you're going through a phase of, like, even, like,
40:04
Speaker 2: not wanting to drink, like, you shouldn't be punished for that.
40:06
Speaker 4: That's what I mean is I would like to go
40:08
Speaker 4: there and enjoy a beverage, but I feel bad.
40:11
Speaker 1: Isn't that horrible?
40:11
Speaker 4: I feel bad sitting there at a barstool just ordering
40:14
Speaker 4: Diet Coke.
40:15
Speaker 3: Because you're just taking their space. I know.
40:17
Speaker 2: You're using your space for all the other things. I know.
40:19
Speaker 3: Unless you go with somebody. Like, I would get a
40:21
Speaker 3: Diet Coke and, like, a little app. Just something to.
40:24
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm like, I don't want to spend money
40:26
Speaker 4: on food.
40:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you go, you slide, like you said.
40:29
Speaker 2: Give them a little money up front.
40:31
Speaker 3: Yeah. Or else they're going to just be so annoyed.
40:33
Speaker 4: I know.
40:33
Speaker 3: As you're just sitting there taking their space. Like, I
40:35
Speaker 3: could be making money and you're here.
40:37
Speaker 4: Here's 10 bucks. Can I please just sit here with
40:39
Speaker 4: other people and watch the game?
40:40
Speaker 3: That's what I've always wondered, too.
40:41
Speaker 2: Like, when I go out with friends and I've done this,
40:43
Speaker 2: I have a group of friends that every now and
40:46
Speaker 2: then when we all get together, we could sit at
40:47
Speaker 2: a restaurant for two, three hours. And I always feel
40:49
Speaker 2: guilty because I'm like, yes, we're engaging in great conversation and.
40:54
Speaker 3: I know our servers are mad.
40:55
Speaker 1: I know.
40:55
Speaker 2: And I almost wish I could tell them, like, I'll
40:57
Speaker 2: tip you double. Like, I'll take this as a, you know,
41:00
Speaker 2: I know you're not getting a new table.
41:01
Speaker 3: Yeah.
41:02
Speaker 2: So that's lost money in your pocket. But that's also
41:04
Speaker 2: the reason, like, I hate that system that we have here. Because.
41:08
Speaker 2: When you do get those meetings together with friends, well,
41:10
Speaker 2: you got to rush it because they got to flip
41:12
Speaker 2: a table because you're not paying your staff enough. Now
41:15
Speaker 2: they're annoyed with you, but it's not actually your problem.
41:17
Speaker 2: It's the restaurant and the industry's problem.
41:19
Speaker 4: I know.
41:19
Speaker 1: It's fucked up.
41:20
Speaker 3: Because I'm like, you know, you go out. I remember
41:21
Speaker 3: the first time going out in Spain.
41:22
Speaker 2: They're like, they don't even see you for the first
41:24
Speaker 2: 30 minutes.
41:25
Speaker 3: You're just having a cocktail.
41:26
Speaker 1: You're begging them. You're like, hey, can I please, please,
41:28
Speaker 1: please put in my order? And they're like, what?
41:31
Speaker 3: You want to order right now?
41:31
Speaker 4: It's an inconvenience for them to do their job because
41:33
Speaker 4: they're like, well, I'm getting paid. I'm here.
41:34
Speaker 1: I'm getting paid.
41:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, they walk by and it's three hours later. You
41:37
Speaker 2: finally pay the bill and you can get their attention.
41:39
Speaker 2: But here, you've got to make sure that you're in
41:42
Speaker 2: and out so the rest of the staff can get something,
41:45
Speaker 2: get more people in. I just always hated that system,
41:48
Speaker 2: but it's one of those things. I think if you
41:49
Speaker 2: handle it up front, you're not as big of an a-hole.
41:52
Speaker 3: Yeah.
41:52
Speaker 2: Then you're kind of set up. So, just curious on
41:54
Speaker 2: the restaurant thing. But back to Pig Jig. So, yeah,
41:57
Speaker 2: back to Pig Jig this weekend. I think, I don't
41:59
Speaker 2: know what you're doing this weekend, but you should go out.
42:01
Speaker 2: It's going to be a good time over in downtown Tampa.
42:03
Speaker 4: I'm busy literally all weekend, except for Friday. But I
42:07
Speaker 4: don't want to do anything Friday because I'm busy all weekend.
42:09
Speaker 2: Okay, that's how we are, too. We're going out all week,
42:12
Speaker 2: and then on the weekend, I just want a day
42:14
Speaker 2: of just chill.
42:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're going to have one day where you're not
42:16
Speaker 4: doing much. So, Sunday, we're at the Bucks game, and
42:19
Speaker 4: then I'm doing, I'm literally waking up bopping around with
42:24
Speaker 4: friends on a walk, and then I should have tickets
42:26
Speaker 4: for the Lightning game, and then I'm going to the
42:27
Speaker 4: Rowdies game afterwards.
42:28
Speaker 3: You're going to the Rowdies game?
42:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I'm supposed to interview some of their players
42:32
Speaker 1: for being on Bayshore.
42:33
Speaker 3: That's cool. I know. Who set that up?
42:35
Speaker 1: It's a good trade. I don't know if he's, like,
42:37
Speaker 1: the owner or the manager. Do you know him, Jeff Atanella?
42:40
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's, like, a coach or something.
42:41
Speaker 4: I think so.
42:41
Speaker 3: I probably got to meet him at one of the games.
42:43
Speaker 1: He messaged me. He's like, I have a bunch of
42:45
Speaker 1: guys that would love to get interviewed.
42:46
Speaker 3: They do?
42:47
Speaker 1: No, he's like, I don't know if they'd love to
42:48
Speaker 1: get interviewed, but they'll be interviewed.
42:50
Speaker 4: Um, and I was like, perfect. I have a platform
42:53
Speaker 4: where I talk about sports casually.
42:55
Speaker 3: That's so cool.
42:56
Speaker 4: Okay.
42:56
Speaker 3: Well, that is a busy weekend. We'll enjoy that.
42:59
Speaker 2: And anytime you're listening to the podcast, you can always
43:01
Speaker 2: leave a comment, be a part of the conversation or
43:04
Speaker 2: get up on the YouTube and share it.
43:05
Speaker 3: Like find somebody new, send them the episode. I want
43:08
Speaker 3: to see some new folks.
43:09
Speaker 2: And one of the things that we're still pushing is
43:12
Speaker 2: getting the live show in Atlanta.
43:13
Speaker 3: So we're going to keep hitting that.
43:14
Speaker 1: Let's tweet at real tacos.
43:16
Speaker 4: Yeah.
43:17
Speaker 3: I was thinking that as I saw the video and
43:19
Speaker 3: you said ATL had one.
43:20
Speaker 1: Because I think they have a stage.
43:22
Speaker 3: No, we don't need a stage. Give us two stools.
43:24
Speaker 3: Sit around. Well, I guess if there's 100 people.
43:26
Speaker 4: Yeah.
43:27
Speaker 1: Although I guess that would make sense.
43:28
Speaker 4: Like if everyone comes and has lunch at Real Tacos
43:30
Speaker 4: and they come because maybe they won't charge us.
43:32
Speaker 3: There you go. Set up the business deal.
43:34
Speaker 2: But leave that in the comments on Spotify so we
43:36
Speaker 2: can continue to see who would be interested in actually
43:38
Speaker 2: making that happen.
43:39
Speaker 3: Thanks for being part of it. We'll be back tomorrow.
