  Speaker 1: If you normally listen to the podcast, there will be
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: some visual cocktail making later, so this is a great
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: one to watch on YouTube. Welcome to Brief Recess. I'm
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Michael Foot and I'm Melissa Outbranch. Today we're going to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: talk about how FIFA is finally over. We're going to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: talk about the recent wave of ice shootings in America
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: and everything that's happening with DHS. I'll give you the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: full rundown. But then we are going to have like
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a total different tone shift and have a little summer break.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: We're going to make drinks with my good friend Ben
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Hopkins Prager, and we're going to make summer cocktails and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we're just going to have fun and play a game
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: that is may or may not be based on the
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: life and death of Lindsay Graham. So stick around my
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: friend in college. Oh my god, that is that is
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that should be criminal? Is it not? I mean I
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: think it is. I think it's like drugging someone if
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you dip some cigarette and cocaine. She was tripping. That's
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: really really bad. It's crazy.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Michael and I were just talking. So I've said this
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: many times before. I've had bary surgery, and I am still.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Like a long time ago, not recently. Yeah, it doesn't matter,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: like twelve I think it's like twelve years ago. I'm
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: just saying. So, I was just imagining people sending you
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: flowers like feel better.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: So I was a part of a bariatric support group
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: and I still get messages for meetings and things like that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I was never comfortable doing eating things in a group
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: like that. There was like outings, right, and I understand
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: it's sort of a way to get to know people,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: which is great, but I always felt like that stuff
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: would trigger my eating right. So I'm sure other people
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: can do it and it's fine, but for me, I've
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: always been really anxious about anything that is sort of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: like like.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: A buffet style of thing for me. And so especially
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: because like a lot of people who get buried, well,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: people get bariatric surgery for many different reasons. Some of
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: it is like addictive behavior.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: For me, it was it was that and sort of
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just being overweight, so not just overweight, like really obese.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it just always makes me feel a little
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: bit like I don't want to.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it reminds me of my friends who are alcoholics.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Some of them will like come to the club all
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: night and not and not ever have a drink. No, yeah, no,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: or some people are like no, like I can't even
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: be around it, be around it, you know what I mean.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And it's just sort of like different recoveries for.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, like, you know, someone's addiction
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and their recovery is theirs, right, and so there's no
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: one way for everybody. But every time I get an
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: invitation to something like that, especially if it's like a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: buffet situation, if I can go somewhere and order my
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: meal myself, I'm fine, but like that volume of food
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: makes me uncomfortable.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I was listening to something. The buffets in Vegas are
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: disappearing this weekend. They were talking. There was an NPR
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: show I was driving this weekend. Was wild by the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: way I heard. World Cup. Yeah, is it fucking over yet?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It is over? I am so sick of hearing FIFA, this, FIFA,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that World Cup. I am so over it. I've had
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it up to here. I don't want to see Melissa
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: so mad. I don't care. I'm not making come for me. Oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: first of all, you don't have to tell me that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I can come for you at home I'm speaking so
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: sick of World Cup.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But okay, do you feel the same way about the Olympics,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Like towards the end of the Olympics, you feel like
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: this, this feels like.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Being in New York. We're not having an Olympics times
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: square like this is like in the middle of New York.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Was the World Cup? Like there was? It was like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: all over New York. No, it wasn't. It wasn't. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: thought it was trying. Where was it? CJ, where was it?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It was all over right, there was a traveling different countries. Yes,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it was in three different countries.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: The idea was it was in North America, New Jersey
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the whole time. So some of it was in New Jersey.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Sometimes a few a few matches.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Were I'm in traffic to New York me okay, in Canada. Oh, Boston,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't know about I did. Okay, that's true, that's right.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But the Scotts drink all the beer, that's right. That
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: makes a lot more sense. Now. I was like, why
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: are all these Scottish people in Boston? Okay, you know what,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I will stand corrected, But Boston, I still got beef
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: with you. Okay, we're going to have to really address that. Please. Okay,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if today's that day. This is the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: testimony of Michael. Okay, Michael Boston, and I.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Think people, well, maybe this is not the day. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: we're listen, friends, I promise we're going to get into
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: it because I know that what the people want and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: we are here to serve at the pleasure of the people.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get into a sidebar because we have
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: to get into it. We did because this weekend was crazy, yes,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: because of the World Cup, but also a lot was
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: happening in ice headlines and immigration in America. There are
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: protests in America. There was someone lit a fire outside
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the courthouse that I go to this morning, so like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that was a little chaotic. There's just a lot going on.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: A couple people have been killed by ICE officers in
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: America lately. Federal agents around the country were told in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: recent days that the FBI would no longer investigate confrontations
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: with immigrant agents, cases that sometimes yield evidence that could
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: be used to prosecute DHS agents for the things they're
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: implicated in, according to people who were briefed. So that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: was in the Times this morning that basically the FBI
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: told Ice, don't worry, We're not investigating your officers. Is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that what they said? Effectively? Per the New York Times,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that was like the scent men, And that was according
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to people briefed on the decision. That's actually really I'm
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: making sure I'm reading it right, because that is a
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: wild thing to say, and I don't want to be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: wrong about it. But people agents around the country were
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: told in recent days that the FBI would no longer
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: investigate confrontations with immigration agents. I mean, we've talked about
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this lots.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: All of this is so distressing, and every time you
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: think that it can't get worse, it does. So it
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: just feels like, so now we cannot count on the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: FBI to just sort of like and I understand that
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: probably we should never have trusted the FBI, but it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: never been so blatant, do you know what I mean
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: for them to just sort of say, basically, we're in
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the back pocket of the president, right. The FBI is
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: supposed to serve the country, right, not just one administration.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: And I'll say that just because the FBA isn't investigating
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: these officers, like obviously condemning that message being given to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: ICE agents. I mean, the FBI is supposed to be
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: checks and balances across the nation. It's not just serving
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: at the president's leisure. And just because the FBI is
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not investigating an ICE agent for their behavior doesn't mean
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: a state won't. Right, they're separate agencies for a reason.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: The states are separate from the federal government for a reason.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So there we're basically looking to the states to save
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: us from the federal government and the behavior of the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: FBI and the and DHS, Right, I mean, that's sort
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: of a position that we didn't put it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it sounds like. I'm just sort
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: of thinking about, is how do we come back from this?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: You know, what is going to happen?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And so, because I know you had said before.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Like other episodes, whenever you and I have talked about it,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: that if we are patient, right, eventually this administration will
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: no longer be in place and those people will get prosecuted.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Will they still do you know what I mean? Yeah,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: if they're not pardoned by Trump, even if Trump tries
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to pardon many of those ICE officers, there's a strong
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: possibility they can still get prosecuted in the state. Even
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: if Trump tries to pardon them, What basically happens is
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: state prosecutors would have to bring an argument. There would
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: be like a peremptory challenge in court before that pardoning.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So I doubt there's any ICE agents that listen to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: my podcast, but I will say if you are listening,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: or if you know any of them and you want
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: to pass along that message, like the likelihood of you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: getting pardoned for your behavior on the job by this
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: president is it has literally never happened in the history
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: of the world ever. He has never pardoned an ICE agent.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But and if he wanted to, yeah, it's not just
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a blank check he would write, and then you're scott free.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It does not work like that. He could attempt to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: do that, and then the states could bring charges and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: then it would get battled out in court and it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: would take a long time, and it would be expensive,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and it would still probably ruin your life. You would
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: there's still so much that would happen. You would be
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in court for so long and possibly brought up on
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: criminal charges. Like this is basically what I'm trying to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: say is it is like a yes, you could technically
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: get pardoned, but there are a lot of technicalities that
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: would go into that that equation, and it wouldn't necessarily
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: come out with you on top, is how I want
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to sort of phrase that.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there were a couple of people were killed. Someone
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was killed in me and someone was killed in Texas.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago. There were Chicago, there were
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: protests outside of Susan Collins's office. She voted to fund
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: ice the day before the in her own state. She's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: up for reelection this fall. Every week we come in
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: here and we say we're at an inflection point. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: don't know how many more inflection points I have in me.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: It's like, remember during COVID, when people could go on
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: saying during these unprecedented times, you know what I'm saying,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and to the point where it was at nauseam right,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: like you heard it constantly, And that's what we're at. An
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: inflection point. Well, when we're in an inflection point the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: day before yesterday, like, it's always something Alexa, what's another
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: word for an unprecedented inflection? Yeah, it's also one of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: these things where I feel like, because we're always at
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: an inflection point, our power in our choices as civilians
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: in America. It feels like it's getting stronger and stronger.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Every repost, every boycott, every protest, every conversation, every choice
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: we make informs whether or not ICE gets funding, whether
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: or not that person up for election, right like, because
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: we have the midterms right around the corner. Yeah, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: because everyone is so focused on those elections and every
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: little thing that's happening in America right now around immigrants,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: but also you know the reflecting pool also, like every
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: little thing that Trump does, pool or the reflection pool.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that necessarily, But because everyone's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: so keyed in on what's happening, it feels like ten
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: years ago people wouldn't have been like, oh, at and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: T is a contractor for ICE, what's Ice? What's DHS?
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean? Yes, there is this
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: like level of consciousness. We're much more.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Informed about different aspects of how the government operates, especially
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: because of the way this particular.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: President is weaponizing. Yes that yeah, yeah, so you know,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I've got nineteen year old cousins who are aware that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos and the Mechcala and the people who attended
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: the Mechala, they don't like anymore because they went when
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos who And I was like, this is the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: kind of incredible that you are so aware of what's happening.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I was aware of one hundred one hundreds versus regular
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: menthol cigarettes when I was nineteen, Okay, and you are
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: so just hang on though about that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: So I could say the same thing, right, So, but
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: we did not have access to the information that these
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: kids have access.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: That's true, right, We did not have a lot of information, and.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: There is so much information being shoved down our throats, right,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: we have to be discerning and be careful about what
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: information that we're taking in.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: So, while I think it's great that a nineteen year
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: old could have the wherewithal to say, you know what,
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I am now going not to support this artist that
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I really liked. I'm not going to go to their
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: concerts anymore. Because they did this thing is great, I
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: think my fear is where they getting this information from.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Is it coming from like TikTok or is it coming
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: from a an unbiased news source, right, which is really
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: hard to find.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I am So it's good and I think it's great.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It definitely works it all. Yeah, yeah, it comes with
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: it comes with it's with its downside. I read something
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: thirty percent of gen z against their information from new media,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: like talking people on TikTok like me. I mean, I'm
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: one of them, and that's where they get their news from,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: which is good and bad, good and bad I am.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: The thing is is that where can you go to
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: get unbiased information?
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Right? Like I have found for me.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: That if I go to news sources outside of the United.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: States, that's definitely true.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: That's a better way because there are things I have
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: had friends or family who were like in Canada, for example,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: who were like, oh, YadA, YadA, YadA, and I'm just like, oh, yeah,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know about.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That thing you were telling me about the guy in
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Russia who had no idea there was a warrant. That's right,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that's right, that's right, yes, the censorship. I was thinking
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: about that with how all so many of the media
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: companies in America are now owned by the same corporation.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing, right, ten years ago, it wasn't
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: that way. The local the local station, the local newspaper,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: and that's where you would get your local news, right,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And now it's all owned by a couple giant conglomerates,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and when that happens, can you really count on that news.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Being the actual, unfiltered, the actual truth of it all.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: You can't. Yeah, Like I was thinking about traffic stops
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: when I was coming up, it was like we didn't
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: know our rights at the traffic side. Like when I
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: was being you know, you're getting your license, they're not like,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: this is what happens if you get pulled over. But
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: now so many people are aware of what to do
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: if they get pulled over, what their rates are, people
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: are recording. We're suddenly singing this level of accountability with
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: police officers. Ice officers this week were ordered to stop
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: questioning people's immigration and pulling people over because ICE officers
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: have been doing this, but they've been ordered as of
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: this week to stop doing that because people were killed.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't want to know. I don't want
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: to cover anything. I'm not anything like they were shot
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: by ICE officers one hundred percent. The thing about it
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is is that again I feel like.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: With this administration is especially and I kind of don't
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: mean to pick on them, but I do everything that
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: they do seems to be they're sort of always seem
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: to be flying by the seat of their pants, right,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: so they will give a directive, realize that it doesn't work,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and then dalt it back. It's like do you remember
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: when we had seth on talking about Action Park. Yes,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: how they would just, Oh, you know what, I'm going
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to dream something up.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to try.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Something on the back of a nap again and like
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: put it in. Oh, somebody broke their neck. Maybe we
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: shouldn't do that anymore. Do you know what I'm saying?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: What is happening and it should be concerning for everybody.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: It's not. This is not like, no, it should well,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't be right, it shouldn't be Sorry, did you
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: hear that? Sorry? Obviously keep it well, now we're lucky lose.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I know what, someone just go flying down this.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Oh the door, Okay, that door is crazy anyway, the
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: door room, guys?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Is it? Literally? It strikes you into work because sometimes
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: we're talking about really scary ship and then a bang goes.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: The thing about it is that it's not consistent. Sometimes
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: it's a soft clothes and other time you could take
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: your head off.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, it depends. Maybe it's upset with us too. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know, but it's a paid crisis actor.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: It's Antifa. It's Antifa guys. Yeah. So it was a
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: crazy weekend because I didn't because I had to work
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the whole time, and I have off. I took a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: couple of days off. I figured it would be fun
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: if we turned the party a little bit. On brief
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: re sete, we played some games. Okay, So invited my
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: friend Ben, who is maybe the most demented person I know.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And I would say that to his face. It might
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: be on his business card, but he is a bartender.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He's the Internet's favorite bartender. Okay. I brought him here
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: to bring some drinks. We're gonna play some games. We're
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: gonna have like fun, footloose, fancy free summer cocktails with Ben.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: But it'll still be political. I think we're still going
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: to be I told him the cocktails politically themed. I'm
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: honestly a little bit worried. I've actually kind of stared
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: what he brought.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I am too a little bit. I got a peek
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: at something and I was looking at it. He was like,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you don't need to look at that.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: It's like the Lindsay Graham's corpse. Like what is a
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: corpse survivor, Linda Gram's corpse survivor. Wait, Linsa Gram is dead.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: We didn't not cover this on the pod. We can
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: talk about it with Ben. We can. We'll be right
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: back with the poppers that killed Lindsay Graham. Ben is
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: a non binary bartender and drinks writer living in Brooklyn.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: They learned their craft from Momofuku Sombar. Why did you
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: give me this tongue twister? Okay, you know how to read?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Please don't tell he's the beverage director for all of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Juice Hospitality. Uh. Your work is featured in New York Times,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: The New Yorker, Bonappetite, Bloomberg Food, and Win Magazine, Eater.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: This bio is too long for me to finish. Please
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: welcome Ben. Yay for you. Well, you know you have
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to sort of you have to be sort of the
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: vacuous void that you want to see in the world.

  Speaker 1: And people like that and knocked over on the train
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: all the time. All right, So he got shoved. I
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: didn't get shoved.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: I got sort of like aggressively bloused by by a
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: guy who had like you know, okay, like you ever

• 19:26
  Speaker 5: and like, all my crap, that's over here, and he
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: like pivoted and like didn't like keep it on his

  Speaker 5: on his shoulder. You kind of were like yeah, And
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: I was like and I like ducked under it and
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: fell on the ground and he was like watch it.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: And I broke my lime juice. So I had to
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: go get some at a very nice Delian. Shout out
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: to the people down the road who gave me two ounces.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Of They weren't exactly happy to give it to.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Me, but they did give me to they.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I purchased it for a dollar and forty seven. We're
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: going to reimburse. We're going to submit that. I'm gonna
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: call Heart Radio about that. Get that, my heart boy.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: It's a Polish.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: We bring Ben on to play some games and we're
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: going to do summer cocktails. So thank you for bringing.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: I'm so excited Okay, I'm going to start by making
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: yours first, because it's a matter of scooping and doing things.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: So this isn't a growany that I have been making U.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: These are both drinks that honestly I've been making for
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: myself and my apartment lately and kind of have brought
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: to the bar. I'm currently working at Millie's in Bedstide,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: which is a fantastic neighborhood.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Bar, and I went there a couple of weeks ago. Yeah,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: and you wanted straight vodka. I don't know how I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: got home. I don't know how you get everywhere you
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: don't have a phone case. Honestly, I think Brad got
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: me home.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Well, shout out to Brad, thank you for the sociopath.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: So what is that?
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: So this is going to be a little bit of
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: gin that's distilled with both watermelon, ryans and cucumbers, so
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: it's nice and round, and it's a super minimal juniper
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: component in it, so like it's definitely still gin because
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: it has to have juniper to begin, but it really
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: has like a nice like sort of more vegetable vegetable backbone.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: So at home, a couple ounces of gym so.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Weeah one and a half ounces of gym and I'm
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: gonna try to get some ice out of this horrible flagger.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: I'm trying.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I brought it the far because I have a
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: very very specific kind of autism that requires this kind
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: of comfort. And then it's going to be half an
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: ounce of a bitter bianco, which is going to be
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: like a white bidder, and then one ounce of blanc formooth,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: so bitter bianco.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: My opinion on white Negronie's is that you know, there's
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: a product called sus if you guys have ever had
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: it before, it's a ginge in the core. It's kind
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of like, uh, hangover PP yellow and it's fad stuff,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: but it's too intense to make it in ne Groni.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And also a white Negronie should probably be clear in
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: my mind, so you know, it's that, and then I'm
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: not done. It's hungover PP yellow. Not a person to
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: watch stir a drink on the show. Anyway. After that,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I came on and just said on camera, let me finish.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: So then okay, and now what here's an important tip
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: at home, Like if you're a lot of things in bartending,
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: you're like, oh, I want to make this flavor that flavor.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: You don't have to shake or stir everything, like I
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: think is important to note a lot of Okay, for example,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: like watermelon, Like.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: How do you do something that's sort of gentle, like.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Coconut water, even some vinegars and stuff like that, things
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: really de nature, like what you think about it, Like
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: you're when you're like adding air to it or whatever.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: A lot of the drinks I make, like this has
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: half an ounce of coconut water in it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: We're just gonna.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Measure it after we stir.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Down properly like you do for a regular negrony, and
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: then all you have to do is just take a
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: spoon and very gently like lift the cubes up, and
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: then that displaces it and incorporates everything.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. I noticed at the bar you weren't
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: You weren't shaking a lot.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, I do you stay strike things with citrus?
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: But like I really like I think that bartending, like
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: all things, in the end, is a craft about doing
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: the least work possible to make it taste the best possible,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: and like you know, at the end of the day,
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: like this is just going to break into pieces if
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: I start really big lime twist.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Uh, and we're gonna twist it in. Put it on
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the side. Michael, this is for you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: That's a big line twist. Well, I'm calling this the.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Big Sissy White mcgroney.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And if you want to get the recipe for it,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: these fine people back here justice can you there you go?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: She is come up show absolutely roast me because I
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: want to taste it after. I mean, you know, in
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: between powdering way we should cheers, cheers, doors now too.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: We're going to make all the drinks. And everyone's clapped
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: for the Big Sissy White McGraney.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Finally some attention around here. What is this a public library? Okay,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: not for you. So I have brought a little bit
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: of Claren to the station. You know, obviously on your background,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Claire is one of paying attention. Claire is one of
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the most incredible spirits in the book, especially for you know,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: bartenders love dacries. I love dacries. Dakries are oftentimes have
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: like if you and of like a lion clik making
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a like an egg like you know, like it's a
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: testive skill and technique. And this is a dacor that
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: I've been making for myself at home very often, and
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Clarence a Haitian Laren is yeah, it means clear, yeah, clear, clear,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: And this is forget. My pronunciation is age, which is
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: without angels. Uh. So ostensibly this is a Claren that
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is unaged, doesn't have an angel share, which is what
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: in making whiskey is the like the amount that is
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: lost in the aging process, so that it's just straight
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: up Claren.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: Like cashassa or for all the bartenders out there and
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: making this in a weird order, and it's for camera
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: and you better relax hold on for you.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: They will. They come for us for things we don't
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: even think, Like why does that queen not have any
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with that? I'm going to get a
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: phone case just because people keep talking. It's like it's
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: like you don't know what it's raining outside. Yeah, but anyway,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Clarence made of sugarcane juice, so you know, you get
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: all that in interesting sort of vegetable note to it,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: like you get sort of an interesting almost yogurty smell.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: And what I really think about in a great Claaren
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: is like intense weed, wild yeast, like Nick never really
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: know how it's gonna interact. There's gonna be a lot
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: of interesting vegetable aroma. So that's what I really want
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to play with here. So we're gonna do one ounce
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of lime juice. Shout out to the homies at the
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: bodega who gave me this. I love them. I'm building
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: this backwards again and they're gonna just really simple three
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: quarters of downs of simple syrup. And then this is
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: where things get, you know, sort of off classic. This
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: is Pischad's Bidders. Bitterers is typical and something like a sassaraq.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: It's made in New Orleans. It is an Anisset bitter
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: but again it's sort of another blend of urban and spices,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: but a Niece's big flavor.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: And we're gonna do like seven or eight.
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: Dashes because with Claren like what you know, I was
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: talking to one of the nice producers in this iHeartRadio
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: fun Box earlier.
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: Human man with a beard and you know, yeah, they're
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: everywhere around here, and so what I was saying to
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: him is that like bar tending is more of an
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: active styling than it is like cooking.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I really feel like, you know, it's so hard to
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: make these products like rum, like whiskey. Agin Like, I'm
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: not someone who professes to be a cook. It's just
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: about putting flavors together from all of the hard work.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: The producers are you made?
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: So you know, adding another vegetable flavor to Claren through
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: bitters is just a way to reveal the flavors in
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: the Claren itself.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: So you know, here we go, all right, put it
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: in here, We're gonna shake it.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Everyone can clap for me while I'm shaking. Oh, that's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: feel I've never done this sitting down too much fat,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: it's too much flat. I like the fee desperate.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: All right, it felt nice.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: What do you think I was gonna use? This is
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: your show? This smack it open? Dar Okay, this glass
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: has been chilling. I brought this from home because it
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: seemed like you would if I've been listening properly enough
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: to the pod.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: You deserve this glass.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Here we go. Oh and it's a pretty color, but
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: it's not really like a pink flavor. It's just like
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: it's really just that anisset quality to it. Well, what
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: is a pink flavor? I'm going to let Michael answer
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that question.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: Here we go, Well, here we go, all right, and
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: there you go are.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna make my drink from us.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, very important bartenders would say that you put the
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: bidders in first, but for the dramatic reveal of the
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: cocktail and this thing, I want to see it last.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: But yeah, you really buck tradition. Well, Buck tradition is
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: going to be performing at pieces like the tradition actually delivered,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: delivered at the end. Yeah, everyone's like, oh, I'm exhausted.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: The copier, get fixed, the copy get fixed.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna take a showers, like, hey, the toilets.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: That's all said. It's great. Speaking of speaking of things
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: not going to plan, I've made a drink for myself
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: thinking of the passing of one, uh you know pieces,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham. Uh, she's gone, but she's sort of not forgotten. Comment.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: I you know, Lindsay, as we've seen on some of
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: her media appearances, maybe had been in a.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Slang fond well, fond of a drink. Let's just say that,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Oh God, And no one could ever say what Lindsay
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Graham drank, but from my sources, this is what I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: imagined she did. So this is some room temperature Kim
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Crawford white Wine for that mention them. Yeah, here we go.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: It's a little bit of Southern comfort and put that
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: in there. Oh my god, twing, it just has to
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: go now, not long be too crazy about that anyway,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: cheers y'all. No, she was fiscally responsible. So they call
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that the one Tuesday. Oh my god, Oh this is good.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I know. Nice.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: That's just like to me though, again, I taste a
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: lot of clarin in that, but it's just about giving
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: it a little bit of seasoning to like push that
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: vegetable quality forward.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: And again for me, I am.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: I was told by a colleague of mine that I
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: touched my nose too much on bartending, So thank you,
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: uh to my friend Truck.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Anyway, this is also really good. And I have to
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: tell you, not usually the kind of thing that I
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: would drink.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you know what I mean? Like that got
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: some sweetness to it. This doesness. This does also, but
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: not in a sugary sweet way. Yeah, it has. It
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: has texture, which I think allows like I always think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: about like bartending. And this is going to sound so
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: like Trady and weird trading is like uh okay, like no,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: but like when it comes to when it comes to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: spirit though, like things need to have a shelf for
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: flavors to sit on, like and so something like a
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: good portion of gin of remooth that has like solid
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: like you know, chemical texture to it, and then like
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: can allow something like coconut water and like intense lime
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: oil to really sit together. You got to think about
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: like when you're putting drinks together, like can they be
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: can they be friends with each other? You know what
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: I mean? And I think also again, temperature is a
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: big factor of that, Like having that glass be cold
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: is half of what is enjoyable.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: That's half the battle it is, and it's three times
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: the party. Much like what I just put into mind.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: You pounded your drinks, like Lindsay cram the pounding, the
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: pounding was delivered. Oh god, did that taste good. I
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: don't think Lindsay was in it for the taste, that's true.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I think he was in it for the for the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: she said, smacks of compromat. Yeah. Anyway, the Disney World

• 30:59

• 31:03
  Speaker 1: have CJ has been so generous and prepared some games
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: for us to play. So well, we all take a
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: reprieve from the fascist Society that we're surviving on a
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: day to day basis. We thought it would be fun
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to play some games with you. We need uh, we
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: come to this place for magic. I love Kim Crawford.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Just hit my l three people meet drunk Melissa because
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: it's as she tell me.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: About her, she's drunken outside.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: She's outside.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: Tell me interesting is that they When I was younger,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: like in my twenties and stuff, I could go out
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: with the best of them drink and drink, and then
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: something happened to me, like in my mid forties, and
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I wanted so during the pandemic, Andre and I were
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: having cocktails every night, right because I will home. One
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: day from a walk there was a bookstore that had
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: like an outdoor like a whatever, like a bookshelf or whatever,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: and they were selling this book like a dollar old
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: timey cocktails.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm gonna get that.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Those are some of the best ones.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: And I became enamored of gimlets and sidecars and fashions,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: and then Perry meniha, Perry, see I'm already doing there.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It is Perry Menopause hit me really hard and not
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: even a drink would get me really drunk and bring
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: on a hot flash, which.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Is, oh my god, a little.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Bit so so perry menopause coupled with barrassing surgery and
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: two SIPs and I.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Was gone, gone, that's crazy.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: But it got to a place where it wasn't fun,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, it's not fun at all.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: So lately at the Ripe Old Days fifty four, she's
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: coming back not as much, but like I really appreciate
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: a good cocktail.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: And having one is enough, you know, like well, like
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: really though, like I have to say, like there's so
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: much in the culture of overconsuming. My partner and I
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: are both bartenders, and you know, my wife went from
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: running you know, very like sophisticated cocktail bars as I did,
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: to now she works at International Bar in the East Village,
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: which is an iconic dive that's open till four in
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: the morning every night, and you know, it's like there
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: she she has sort of also like we've both gotten to.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: The point in our journey with this kind of being
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: like I just want one cocktail a night and then
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: like maybe a beer and then.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: Like you know, because at this point it just hits different,
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: you know, anyway, I can have like two glasses of
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: wine too and then feel happier. Some of my friends
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: are slamming their phones against the chair on their phones.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Melissa otter Box, I saw that video. I listen.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: If you need like a drinking doula person for cocktail
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: recipes that are low ABV, I will give.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: You my number and we'll talk about Okay, great, definitely,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: because I do feel like we're going away soon. Yeah,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: and I have some people there are going sag Harbor.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Oh great. Yeah. And I got a new book and
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I got a whole kit. Cool. I'm really excited about
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: my God. Well, we have to I'll give you some
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: recipes easy fun too, Yeah, Fasch cocktails are fun. And
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: the bar that Ben Bartend's at, I think all the
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: drinks are.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: We badge the spirits, but you know, like the citrus
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: and stuff is fresh. But you know, and I was
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: thinking the price point, Oh, it's super affordable, very affordable.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean twenty eight dollars.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: No, I was like very I got a lot of
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: flak earlier this year for saying on another friends podcast
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: that I don't think cocktails should cost more than twenty dollars.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: I mean because it's just not that valuable of an asset,
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: especially in New York. Again, people talk about this this
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: ridiculous thing of like gen Z is not drinking. It's like, no,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: no one can afford to do anything. So for me,
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: as someone who builds bar programs, like you know, you
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: know your margins on a drink, it's like charging twenty
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: four to twenty six dollars for drink is both unrealistic
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: and not it's.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Not worth it as an asset.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: And again all this processing of like, oh but it
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: has like beef tallow like the Himalayan mountains.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I'm like, leave that up there. No one wants that.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Do you think that?
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: So what you were saying earlier about like now like
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: one maybe two cocktails is enough, right, So let's say
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: you're having one twenty dollars cocktail.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe that that is okay? Do you know what
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: I mean? Like totally yeah, I'd say like, oh yeah,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: and that price point for sure. And again I think
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: like sixteen to eighteen is where things really like.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Tend to live when they're successful.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: I'm going to name that Negroni after the two. No,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: she's so she's so fun, I know.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: And again it's that it's that coconut water that doesn't
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: it's a coconut water that doesn't get that doesn't get
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: stressed out, you know, like dail.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Just as the this is the white the brief briefs
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: and it's we just called it a brief recess. Just
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: recaps so we can make because I want to make
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: this one and a half ounces.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Of like a very like a subtle London drudge in
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: half an ounce of bitter bianco and then one ounce
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: of driver mooth stir it. Then add a half an
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: ounce of coconut water after the spin to lift it up.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: Lime twist and a big and a big boy limeed.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: And it's nice because also remember like alcohol is solvent.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Make this Inzach Harbor.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah you can make it, you know you can do
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: you put it in the freezer so you can just
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: pour it out into a glass.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you make it. So what you do is you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: leave batch the whole thing and then you add about
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: like twenty percent dilution of a percent of water to
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the total batch.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: They just poured out.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, Iconic CJ. Walk us through the roles of our game.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Please show us the game. Okay, where's my Lindsay Graham
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: drink you drinking girl, I think she did. She's like, honey,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: one more, lady Bug, give me a Mitch McConnell vegetables,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: A vegetable, bloody Marry. Do you know that I did
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: not know about the Ladybug? Really wild. I've explained about it.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I read about it. You do your showy, Okay, you
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: want to do it. Yeah.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I did not know about this,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: and I read about it. I was just like, ladybug.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: So I go and I look, and I look and
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: I look, And apparently, allegedly, Lindsay went to go meet
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: a a sex work right, and the sex worker went
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: into the bathroom to get prepared, as one does, and
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: came out and Miss Lindsay was on all.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Fours ass up. She was, she was ready, and the
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: the worker said, did you clean up? And Lindsay was like,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: of course I did.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: And then but the workers looking and they're like, I
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: don't know because I see some stuff and I don't
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: understand what's going on the worker.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: The worker said, so there was a sort of like
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: a like a referendum on his and so worker I
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: forget what the name of the person was.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: But worker goes and tries to wipe wipe the area off,
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: and Lindsay says, oh, those are just my lady bugs,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: and worker was like it can't do it walked out.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Now Here's that's what I think I heard. But I
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: feel like, so this is the thing. I am always
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: fascinated by people who are like, this is so off
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: putting to me that I'm willing.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: To leave money on the table. I'm walking away from McDonald's.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Sounds like a few of my bar contracts. It's so awful. Yeah,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: And I also think, really walk away from all the money,
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: but also for that reason I'm out, But also as
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: a sex worker, I think about all the things that
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you've seen, and this is the thing, and that's just
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: what is beyond the tale. It is too much Miss
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Lindsay and her bug collection. I love like I have
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: friends who were sex workers in their twenties, and I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: love hearing their stories about the crazy things they've seen
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: because they've really so many people are sexual workers just
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: have the best story. They have really good stories. That So.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I had a friend of mine who was a sex
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: worker and he fall upon hard times and was saying,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: had tricks come to his home and his most like
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: loyal John was a Hasidic man who had a sort
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: of like a.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, a black man, like.
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: A fetish, but like it couldn't just be like any
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: old guy he had.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: He had him like.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Dressed up is like a like a corporate battye. Right,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: he had to be like full on suit.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Breathcase but like like like Wolf, yes very much and
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: so very much because this was like the nineties, right,
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: it was actually, it was actually and.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: This is like sort of Jack Day.
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: And I found that so interesting because a the fetish
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: is like weird to me.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not sex shaming, but like you,
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: what would your friend say about it? I mean, I
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: gotta get the suit. I'm running out of suits. But
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: like he but hit a lot of his.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Sorry, a lot of his best customers were like these
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: sort of like wealthy or like super duper, like the guy.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: From Wolf of Wall Street. I really yeah, just now
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah, well you know we're the same height, being
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Dan Rad. He's a delicious little snack and I'm sort
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: of like a long lunch tray of a woman. Anyway,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: that was like this guy's thing. That's crazy. I know,
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: you know what I keep on thinking about.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is sort of a little bit more serious,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: but like, you know, this is the same person who's
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: not going back to his wife and you know, and
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: wife and children and having unprotected sex with her.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, do.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Anyway, well, you know, and
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: it's I I didn't mean that, and it's flippantly like
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a many friends of mine in Brooklyn
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: sex workers that are patronized by the city community. And
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: it's the thing.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's a thing, and it's a real I mean,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: and I think that's what happens when you live in
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: a society where you are so not allowed to be
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: yourself and it comes out in ways like that, and
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: it actually makes me feel terrible.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: We should be allowed to be who we are. Makes
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you want to make one more by all means one more, lady.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: This is just just know that is Southern comfort. This
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: is Southern comfort. It was I thought it was.
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: Actually I brought it in a well Southern comfort. To
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: see this game seems really fun because you've never done Poppers.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: No, never Amsterdam sponsor me okay, hard cut to the game.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: The brief recess rely fun looks fun. Well, we'll show

  Speaker 1: you will show.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Very anopause is gonna hate those.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Us a lot of things, but the bar maybe she'll
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: love it. Actually, I don't know. Okay, the game, this
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is kind of this seems like an ad test. Okay, okay,
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Round one okay, okay, So CJ explained the roles. So
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: we have twenty rounds. We don't have to get through.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Do you think you can count that high? CJ? CJ
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: was optimistic.
• 42:23
  Speaker 7: Two of these are real headlines. One of them is
• 42:25
  Speaker 7: a fake headline, and you'll I'll click on you.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Know, maybe we go one at a time.
• 42:30
  Speaker 7: Michael your first, whoever, so we're.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: All going to read a headline. The first one is
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: man arrested for driving a riding like a ride on
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: lawnmower while intoxicated on a city street. Okay, number two,
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: you do. Number two man arrested for duy while riding
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: a horse and carry an open container.
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Man arrested after attempting to register a barstool as his
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: designated driver.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Which one of these is real? Registered one? You are real?
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: As someone invested you know who grew up versed in
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: sort of New England white drunk people culture. The lawnmowers.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: The lawnmower, and the second one is real. A man
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: would never take the time to go to the registrart
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: like the d m V. You know, man, and I'm
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: assuming white man would ever take the time to register
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: from from Hamilton, Massachusetts. That's true, locking that in White
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: people would maybe I would are we are we agreeing
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: as a collective or no? I agree because I feel
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: like if someone brought a lawnmower in here, I would
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: probably try and write it law. Yeah, it seems I actually,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: I will tell you I know for a fact. The
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: first one is real. Yeah, it is real, because you
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: know the locking in his name was Lindsay Graham. Okay,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: locking in the third locking in round because white men
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: would never Yeah, get that. It's awful. Oh wait, so
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: way we win? How many? So at the end? Wait
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: at the end, how many? H Please don't let you
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: drink another, lady, I've been through it, Ben, What is
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: the most overrated drink? Okay?
• 44:22
  Speaker 5: I mean the most overrated drink is the Okay, there's
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: a couple of different ways to think about that, because
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: anything's good, Like on a I live in a place
• 44:31
  Speaker 5: without shame, Like I think that a lot of bourbon
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: tastes similar to each other because the way that bourbon
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: is made and the like it has a proprietary standard,
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: it all tastes the same.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Bourbon. It's so much wood. It's corn. Well, that's what
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: I'm last. I feel like I'm liking a telephone pole
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: the girl from Hereditary.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: So so bourbon has to be forty nine percent corn
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: like by its creation, so inherently it's gonna be has
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: to be an aged in New American oak like, so
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: it's going to take on a lot of wood flavor
• 45:05
  Speaker 5: and to be bourbon has to have very specific stuff
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: with the other percentage of I think maybe fifty one percent.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: Some bartender is going to be having a free nut
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: free time and talking about it in the Chatlanam.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: The long story short is that like it. The flavor
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: profile of it is print has to be kind of
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: more constrained, Like it's not like gin where it just
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: has to have juniperin it can have like a whole
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: pumpkin in it. So for me, is it overrated? When
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: I think there are like premium brands that taste similar
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: to like affordable brands like, and there's brands that I
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: feel like to be frank scam and like they have
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: a raised price point and they're like, oh, this is
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: worth one hundred and eighty dollars, but it tastes similar
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: to the Workhorse brand. I would say that that experience
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: is a little overrated because I think in a price
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: conscious way. So if you're buying a Bourbon, go for
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: like the middle of the road. I would say, like,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: go for the brands that are reliable and don't play
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: into some any sort of like hype thing.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: Like so certain brands devalue the craft of it by
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: being like, oh, today we have a sprite remix Bourbon,
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: which is fun to do, but it's like dials in.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: It's like we make this in Kentucky and it's really delicious, and.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: I think it'suy. You should have it.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Apparently I know nothing not alcohol. Round twenty all right,
• 46:16

  Speaker 1: you mean? I don't feel Okay?
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: When I was younger, Clinton, right, take us back, think

  Speaker 5: about it, Clinton, Blockbuster, we were all there. I felt
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: like there was a more like second pretzel economy in
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: which you could get a basket of small pretzels or
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: a large one at the mall Auntie Ann's.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: In a truck around soho, Now I saw which one? Okay,
• 51:36

• 51:39
  Speaker 1: kind of you getting all of them? I really you
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: got to pick one? If I'm so, I'm not. I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: like I like the plane. I like the plane. Okay.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Outside the d m V in downtown Brooklyn there is
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: an Auntie and manned by a man with nothing but
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: hatred in his heart. I got to tell you something,

• 52:11
  Speaker 5: And then I get what I get, the diabetic lemonade,
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: and I feel my leg twitching, and I'm like, baby, I.
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Think I'm with Michael, but I'm into the pretzel verse.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: I'm down for like all of it.
• 52:23
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying I feel like as a commodity there
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: used to be like a guy walking around me, like, yeah, pretzels.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: I'm dressed up like him right now, apparently. And sometimes
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: when I get a pretzel from the pretzel guy, like
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: at the hot dog stand, sometimes they're really good, but
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: sometimes they've been there for four days, yes, because not
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: that people are I think that the pretzel are supposed
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: to be like soft salty. I'm not cracking a crown. Yeah,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: these fake teeth aren't coming. I'm not gumming that pretzel.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: This this, I'm not going to go home.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: So I feel like, so like this week, I had
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: like a really weird eating week, but I felt like
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I was eating like sort of junkie things that I
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: normally don't eat, and like potato chips and things like that,
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: and I felt really like my mouth was.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: On fire in a really weird way. But like the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: pretzel is like a sound. It is bland.
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: It's a bland and I feel like it is the
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: healthy junk we say this to our I actually what
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: I tell myself to us.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I have a follow up question. So it's Auntie Anne's
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: what's the uncle's name? Is it uncle Anne? Uncles? And
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: the last name? And Auntie Anne is like Anne is
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: her first name?
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: Yea for those of you watch, well, what's the what's
• 53:37
  Speaker 8: the family name? Oh, it's like you're making a podcast
• 53:43
  Speaker 8: for me. I'm very funny and you should definitely book
• 53:46
  Speaker 8: me or produce.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Me whatever you want to do. Back to it, I
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: think that, uh, it's probably not the Florida Man, because
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: I would do that. I feel like the first one
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: someone did that for Instagram it was like one of
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: those technic houses rush. The scientific problem is that as
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: we go on, all of them seem like they could
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: be real. You know, we have because we're all like
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: I want to do that. I know. I think I
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: think the Amish is real Florida. I think we just
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: have to assume anything that happens in Florida is real.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, so maybe the top gun is fake and
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: that was just staged. What would lindsay say would say
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: he'd be like at all the top one is fake.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: We're four for four c J are they all fake?
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Are we just getting it rang in the second one? Yeah,

  Speaker 1: What I'm gonna say is that the fact that his
• 58:38

• 59:14
  Speaker 1: a demonstrative clause.

• 59:51
  Speaker 1: to the last episode. Here's here's the reason.

  Speaker 2: Why it's not fucked up is because it's it's a fraud.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, but it's true, right and ring until the deadline?
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: Right because he has absolutely glitched out in front of

• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: It's interchangeable reflecting reflection. I don't mind being called out on.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: Stuff, but make it make sense. You're wrong, And what
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: I really think is really we're wrong all the time.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: I know, but one thing about the idea.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: That it's interchangeable. And because I was worried, I'm like oh,
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: maybe they're right. So I looked it up and found
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: out that we weren't sad things the same thing. You
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: could have done the same thing. I don't mind that
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: someone doesn't like us. I don't mind that it could
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: be wrong about things. But you did not take the
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: time to bother to look at Google is your friend
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: and it's free, Laura, let me tell you.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: It. Really, it really annoyed me. Who song.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: And I have another one that I want to read,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: which is actually okay, ignorant and rude from it was recommended.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: Well they lost me, stop stop pouring. Well they lost me.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: This week's episode about Luigi Mangioni revealed both hosts to
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: be ignorant of pretty much anything besides themselves. Michael especially,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: I can't stand.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I can't see. That's why I can't say.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: I can't stand his nasty superior attitude when he doesn't
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: know basic history, geography.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Or culture.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: I can't believe that Karen and Georgia have these people
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: in their network. Unsubscribing now listen to me, no no, no, no,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: no no. But again, I think it's fine if we're
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: not for everybody.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: Because we're not right.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: I was listening to a podcast recently that apparently lots
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: of people love, and I listened to a few episodes
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: and it was not for me, not because of anything,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: but like I gotta tell you the one host, the
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: voice that was what it was. No, no, no, no,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: hold on, that's what it was. But it's okay.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that I really don't know any
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: geography or history. No one said you did, and I was.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: I was the child left behind, Like there was one.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: I went to an unaccredited high school. Yeah, so you
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: know what it's education acredited. During eleventh grade, they called
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: an assembly and they were like, I was excited to
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: announce this school just credit. Did you know that you
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: were going to this random school owned by Bob by
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Heart Robert iHeart, Alexicic Mom.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Well no, but I mean I think you know again,
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: if there's something I don't mind not knowing about something,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: Being ignorant is okay, because if you're willing to learn,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: it's fine. Being stupid is something else. Stupid is a
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: stupid does right. But but but if there's something that
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: we have gotten wrong, I am very open to being corrected.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Correct her, don't correct me because I don't care. No,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: especially correct him because white men and their ego. Yeah,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: we did go. Yeah, your flight, your flight by She said,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: sorry to.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: See what I said, sorry to the noise, no no, no,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: saying it wasn't funny.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: And I had nothing to follow up with. I got nothing,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: but I will say this. You got a phone case,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: you know I think that Wait, can I read this one? Yeah?
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 5: My mother whoa my friend's mother had a toe amputated
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 5: due to diabetes.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: She asked her podiatrists for a ten percent. The podiatrist
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: told her they charged by the foot. Do you know why?
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: Do you know why that person wrote it? I don't
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: know about that. What I want I know that your
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: cat has three legs. And a man called you fat
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: at the airport. Thank you for listening. Thank you.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of free time. No, please hired me.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: I'm great on the podcast.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Only somebody who really listens with stuff though, And he said,
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: oh you must have been said like you a lot.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: She said. He was like, madam, you've changed French too.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: It's like yeah, And then he was like, because you
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: see it a lotzy. Someone wrote in about manicures. A
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: woman with one arm got a manicure and right one
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: hand got a many booked a full fifty minute appointment,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: and they charged and they charged your full for because
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: she booked a fifty minute appointment and she got a
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: fifty minute appointment with the one hand, they have five medicals,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: you know, And then they asked she asked for a
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: discount at the register, and the guy, the original person,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't know that you need? Have you
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: all followed this woman who got pulled over for texting
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: with the phone in her right hand, had hands. Yeah,
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: she should be the president. She should come up.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Listen to me, Ben, I need anybody could be almost anybody.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: If there's any think that this president has told us
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: is that all your dreams can come true.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I'm a bartender on an iHeartRadio podcast, but like, but anybody, anybody,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: but truly, anybody could be president. The great fallacy of.
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: The American dream is that this culture is a meritocracy
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 5: and that things are earned and that you know, you
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: work your way up and that everything is given. And
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: you know, I and every one of my you know,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 5: sort of flopped millennial generation just like really on Tumblr,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: like you know, like dreaming and dreaming and dreaming and
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 5: like costly.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: And well I like it's time to book a by
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: with a cardiology by insurance. My Space, I think it's
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: time for Colono.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is that, like you know, Tumblr
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: is for pictures of people standing the wrong way and
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: for those who get to get it, I'm just saying
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 5: that it's like those The fallacy of Donald Trump being
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 5: the president of the United States shows all the people
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: of my generation that it's like, you did your test
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: and you worked real hard at it, and you were
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: so good at your job.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: But you know what, private equity owns the cocktail bar?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: So what are you going to do? Have a Lindsay.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: Graham on the air.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: One more are you is there any private equity that
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: owns bars and stuff as far as you're aware?
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: And has it changed?
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean I think that major restaurant groups are
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: bought into buy private. I'm not going to name names,
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: but I think a lot of the larger conglomerates like
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: have larger investors. And again, I think the trend is that,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: especially in New York where it is so inherently affordable,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: like people like me that want to open a bar
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: or have wanted to my partner, my wife is well,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: we wanted to together. It is not a viable dream
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: because a the rent is so high, and be those
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 5: who are able to pay it have the insurance of
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 5: like different backers from all over the place that you know.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: They get their return no matter what. But say there
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: was in front of the money to do it. So
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: what I will say is that you know, the the yards, yardstick,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: the yard post, the post in the yard, the post office.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: The thing that qualifies the success rate is changing all
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the time. So I will say that, yes, it is
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: very much involved. Okay, thank you for your strengths, thank
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: you for having to propose one more thing. Yes, please,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: I think that I should come back for.
