- 1:03Speaker 1: The nugget. Oh yeah, talk is okay? Wow?
- 1:06Speaker 2: I got distracted with the Oh.
- 1:08Speaker 1: That makes sense. Yeah yeah, So we're just gonna talk
- 1:10Speaker 1: about something we're nostalgic for it. I was thinking about
- 1:12Speaker 1: it today. So growing up, and I don't think I'm
- 1:15Speaker 1: the only one, but there was a huge resurgence of
- 1:17Speaker 1: skateboarding right around late nineties early two thousands. I don't
- 1:22Speaker 1: like really know one person who I mean, of course
- 1:24Speaker 1: I know some people, but I would say about eighty
- 1:27Speaker 1: percent of people I knew were skateboarding.
- 1:29Speaker 2: Yeah, and I used to skateboard.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I was really bad though. I broke my ankle, got
- 1:32Speaker 1: a concushion, and I wasn't good enough to keep pursuing it,
- 1:36Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But I miss the nights
- 1:39Speaker 1: of skateboarding when it's like you're skating home hanging out
- 1:42Speaker 1: with your friends all day, and it's like ten thirty
- 1:44Speaker 1: am and it's freezing cold outside and you have your uh,
- 1:46Speaker 1: your headset on listening to like Lincoln Park Hybrid Session
- 1:49Speaker 1: or whatever it was skating home, and then you might
- 1:51Speaker 1: have some scratches on you from falling down and everything.
- 1:54Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's actual skateboarding or just
- 1:57Speaker 1: like hanging out with friends. Did you have a skateboard
- 1:59Speaker 1: growing up?
- 1:59Speaker 3: Actually I did, Like I I didn't do like the
- 2:03Speaker 3: you know, Allie's or the tricks or the bowl or
- 2:05Speaker 3: whatever at the skate park, but I used it as
- 2:08Speaker 3: like a transportation tool. Oh sure, so going you know,
- 2:11Speaker 3: to and from middle school. I used And there's one
- 2:13Speaker 3: big hill, like big big to me, yeah, and I
- 2:16Speaker 3: actually killed it and I tell Jackson, my kid, I'm like, oh, yeah,
- 2:19Speaker 3: he's a skateboard but he actually knows how to do
- 2:21Speaker 3: tricks and stuff.
- 2:22Speaker 2: So yeah, it was a little bit different. Back then.
- 2:24Speaker 1: There's this huge hill called on eighteen it was eighteenth
- 2:26Speaker 1: the hill kind of by where Clackett is.
- 2:29Speaker 2: That was the hill. Is that the hill? But at
- 2:31Speaker 2: the top of the hill has that weird house.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, with this house had like it was
- 2:35Speaker 3: made of like stone and in the backyard there was
- 2:37Speaker 3: like these like full sized velociraptor dinosaur statues and stuff
- 2:42Speaker 3: like that.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the hill.
- 2:43Speaker 1: I went down. Wonder if it's still there, that house.
- 2:44Speaker 3: It looks very decrepit now, like they're like the towers gone,
- 2:48Speaker 3: but there's still like a a face. Yeah, there's still
- 2:51Speaker 3: like a fake Can I love that people did that?
- 2:54Speaker 1: Yeah? Right, And this was like back in you know,
- 2:56Speaker 1: before it was easy to order anything online, so these
- 2:58Speaker 1: people had to like make call that shit actually you know.
- 3:01Speaker 1: But that's the hill where I first fell down. I
- 3:03Speaker 1: got a really back and cushion. I was bombing the
- 3:06Speaker 1: hill and then I got speed wabbles and I saved myself.
- 3:09Speaker 1: But then I had a rock and I go flying,
- 3:11Speaker 1: probably like ten twelve feet, smashed the side of my face,
- 3:15Speaker 1: hitting my head really hard. My whole face is ground down.
- 3:17Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I'm gonna keep skateboarding for
- 3:20Speaker 1: some reason. But I started wearing a helmet.
- 3:22Speaker 2: Smart.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Yeah. But then one time I was skateboarding with some
- 3:25Speaker 1: of my buddies skateboarding. I was skateboarding sound like, and
- 3:29Speaker 1: we were just doing some uh, just some curb cups
- 3:32Speaker 1: cuts where I was doing he'll flip over like a.
- 3:34Speaker 1: I was just actually off the curb cup. I was
- 3:36Speaker 1: trying to do a he'll flip off of it. Well,
- 3:38Speaker 1: I fell down on my ankle. Well that's why I
- 3:40Speaker 1: guess most people fall down. But I felt and I
- 3:42Speaker 1: turned my ankle wrong and I fucking broke my ankle.
- 3:44Speaker 1: And I was like, no, you guys, seriously, it's really hurt.
- 3:47Speaker 1: But they found out, like, get up, you pussy. They're
- 3:49Speaker 1: throwing rocks at me, like no, no, no, dude, seriously, it's
- 3:51Speaker 1: fucking broke. Luckily, I was right by my house, so
- 3:56Speaker 1: a couple of days go by, my dad's like, you know,
- 3:58Speaker 1: it's probably just sprange. You're gonna be fine. Just keep
- 4:00Speaker 1: on it, right, So I'm like, okay. So a couple
- 4:02Speaker 1: of days go by and then he's like, it's just
- 4:04Speaker 1: you just gotta keep walking on it. So I just
- 4:06Speaker 1: keep walking on it for like a week, and then
- 4:08Speaker 1: following my step Mom's like, you know, you should have
- 4:10Speaker 1: had some improvement by now, let's take you to the doctor.
- 4:14Speaker 1: So I'm like, all right, So we go the doctor
- 4:15Speaker 1: and I broke it in three places. Yes, So for
- 4:19Speaker 1: a week, I'll just walk it on my broken ankle,
- 4:21Speaker 1: you know. But even though it seemed like a bad
- 4:24Speaker 1: idea at the time, or it seemed like a bad
- 4:26Speaker 1: thing that happened, nothing is for the most part, inherently
- 4:28Speaker 1: good or bad. Because that's if it wasn't for that
- 4:30Speaker 1: I wasn't I wouldn't have been so good at Tech Dechs.
- 4:33Speaker 1: It happened right before summer, and I wouldn't be so
- 4:36Speaker 1: good at Tony Hawk, and I wouldn't have met the
- 4:38Speaker 1: basis of two trick for the first time.
- 4:40Speaker 2: How'd you meet him through this?
- 4:42Speaker 1: I was at a concert in California and about halfway through,
- 4:45Speaker 1: and they've only played like two or three acoustic shows
- 4:48Speaker 1: at this time, and I think this was their second one.
- 4:50Speaker 1: So they go over and take a little break, and
- 4:52Speaker 1: the stage wasn't super big because that's some winery and
- 4:55Speaker 1: halfway and then they put me in the front because
- 4:57Speaker 1: I had I had a broken leg, so they put
- 4:59Speaker 1: me on like disabled or whatever, and the bases jumped down.
- 5:02Speaker 1: He starts talking to me and he's like, oh, that's
- 5:03Speaker 1: really cool, man, or that's really cool. He goes, is
- 5:06Speaker 1: it really broke? And I'm like yeah, and he goes, oh,
- 5:08Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I used to put a
- 5:10Speaker 1: fake neck brace on and I used to meet bands
- 5:12Speaker 1: as a kid because they would be like, oh, so
- 5:14Speaker 1: that's why. And I got a picture with him and
- 5:15Speaker 1: it was awesome. But a few weekends ago, I met
- 5:18Speaker 1: him again and I told him that story and he's like,
- 5:21Speaker 1: oh really I said that. He goes, huh, that's hilarious
- 5:24Speaker 1: this first time I've heard about that. It was true
- 5:27Speaker 1: or not. But he's also been a rock star since
- 5:29Speaker 1: the mid seventies.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Yes, they partied a lot.
- 5:31Speaker 3: So I'm thinking that we need to get some go
- 5:35Speaker 3: to like one of those stores that sell like walkers
- 5:37Speaker 3: and like cats and like you know, neck braces, and
- 5:39Speaker 3: like go meet celebrities there.
- 5:41Speaker 1: We go, Yeah, we'd start walking up and looking all decrep.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Yeah, they would have to, they would have no.
- 5:45Speaker 3: I'd probably get them and put like Jackson and them
- 5:48Speaker 3: oh because then yeah, kid thing, so you have two
- 5:50Speaker 3: daughters twice as many celebrities.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Yeah boom yeah.
- 5:55Speaker 3: And then we both show up with our uh uh
- 5:58Speaker 3: you know, injured children. And then.
- 6:01Speaker 2: But then I got my wires crossed and I actually.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Like beat Jackson Jackson just to it, Like it's like
- 6:08Speaker 3: those like ASPCA commercialist works for a SPCA.
- 6:12Speaker 2: What's Up's additionel.
- 6:13Speaker 1: What's up?
- 6:14Speaker 3: And like they're so heartbreaking that then you have to
- 6:18Speaker 3: like remember like they're just actors.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Yeah, like yeah, so it's fine.
- 6:23Speaker 1: It would be funny too if we just showed up
- 6:25Speaker 1: with like everybody in our families like just hurt and
- 6:27Speaker 1: a wheel chair. What going wrong?
- 6:30Speaker 2: Yeah? Oh my god. That's a good backstory. So did it?
- 6:34Speaker 3: So was skatie boarding so popular because of Tony Hawk?
- 6:38Speaker 1: Well? I think it was kind of a whole thing.
- 6:40Speaker 1: So with Tony Hawk in the late nineties, that's what
- 6:44Speaker 1: kind of x X games came out, like mid nineties, right,
- 6:46Speaker 1: so that's when it really started getting big again. And
- 6:49Speaker 1: then Tony Hawking in the nine hundred and then Tony
- 6:51Speaker 1: Hawk pro Skater the game, and then Jackass had a
- 6:53Speaker 1: bunch of skaters on there, so I think it was
- 6:55Speaker 1: this like bamar jera Tony Hawk just this whole era.
- 6:58Speaker 1: And then the music was a lot in the early
- 7:00Speaker 1: two thousands, so there's that whole kind of fuck you attitude.
- 7:03Speaker 1: So I think it was a whole mix of everything.
- 7:05Speaker 1: But I think if it wasn't for Tony Hawk pro Skater,
- 7:07Speaker 1: I don't think it would have been nearly as big.
- 7:09Speaker 1: So I think that was a huge driving force. Gotcha,
- 7:12Speaker 1: got cha, gotcha.
- 7:13Speaker 3: And then I think I mentioned this before, but our
- 7:16Speaker 3: friend Kyle from the day he listened to all that,
- 7:19Speaker 3: you know, quote angry music. I know for a fact
- 7:22Speaker 3: that he owned Jewel on CD, so you know, and
- 7:25Speaker 3: you probably skateboard to Jewel. I doubt that it was
- 7:28Speaker 3: a song on Tony Hawk, but it would have got
- 7:30Speaker 3: more faggots involved, not saying that Kyle the.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Faggot, but also I think the Tony Hawk pro skater
- 7:37Speaker 1: also somehow it's kind of like what came first, the Hagger,
- 7:41Speaker 1: the chicken or whatever. Yeah, because a lot of that
- 7:44Speaker 1: the music they chose for Tony hawk. Before that, a
- 7:48Speaker 1: lot of times video games they didn't have full songs
- 7:50Speaker 1: on there. It was just like scores and just kind
- 7:52Speaker 1: of background music, and of course there probably was somewhere
- 7:56Speaker 1: they were just like some actual songs. But I think
- 7:59Speaker 1: it really introduced a lot of people to different types
- 8:02Speaker 1: of music, like punk rock, which is like punk has
- 8:04Speaker 1: always been kind of like a a skating thing, and
- 8:07Speaker 1: then kind of like New York hip hop's also kind
- 8:08Speaker 1: of intertwined with skating to around that time, its kind
- 8:11Speaker 1: of all this like, uh, not outlander, but what's that
- 8:14Speaker 1: when outside? Where am I looking?
- 8:17Speaker 2: Wallflower?
- 8:18Speaker 1: People that are on the outskirts.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Outcasts, outcasts?
- 8:22Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think it just kind of brought this
- 8:23Speaker 1: whole outcast thing and then eventually everybody was an outcast,
- 8:27Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, but no, I just
- 8:28Speaker 1: kind of miss skating and there's a lot of fun
- 8:30Speaker 1: and trying a new trick and then that feeling you
- 8:31Speaker 1: get when you actually land the trick, You're like, oh
- 8:33Speaker 1: my gosh, finally did a fucking heel flip, you know.
- 8:36Speaker 3: So was it difficult for this because also the fashion
- 8:39Speaker 3: of the time was for the men at the or
- 8:41Speaker 3: boys at least, was like saggy baggy pants.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Was it hard to skateboard with saggy baggy pants?
- 8:47Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 8:47Speaker 1: I think so. But I've always kind of worn the
- 8:50Speaker 1: same thing, my whole edges, jeans and a T shirt.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Sometimes my pants would sag, of course, But if you
- 8:55Speaker 1: look back at some of those early two thousand skate
- 8:57Speaker 1: videos like Rob Deer Deck, his pants are fucking huge
- 9:01Speaker 1: and they were still doing it, so yeah, probably not
- 9:03Speaker 1: too hard.
- 9:04Speaker 3: I tried to when I was younger, Like adolescents, I
- 9:08Speaker 3: like dabbled in different genres of like dress.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Like escape.
- 9:11Speaker 3: I tried to look like a skateboard or even though
- 9:13Speaker 3: I could just barely skateboard, and I tried to be
- 9:15Speaker 3: like a rocker guy, and then I what was the point?
- 9:19Speaker 2: Oh? And then I did the baggy pant thing. So
- 9:22Speaker 2: I always made.
- 9:23Speaker 3: Sure I had like underwear that was like cool looking.
- 9:26Speaker 3: But then it must have been laundry day or was
- 9:28Speaker 3: at my dad's house, and like I just I don't know,
- 9:30Speaker 3: I grabbed tidy whities and I like kind of forgot
- 9:33Speaker 3: about that.
- 9:33Speaker 2: I caught it.
- 9:34Speaker 3: I don't think anyone saw my tidy whities, but I
- 9:36Speaker 3: like lifted that ship up real quick.
- 9:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a really cool pair of SpongeBob boxers
- 9:41Speaker 1: back then. I loved those guys.
- 9:43Speaker 2: That's that was before they that would be ironic to wear.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Right. Yeah, I've always loved SpongeBob. But the reason I
- 9:49Speaker 1: had so much SpongeBob shit is because my grandma she
- 9:51Speaker 1: was a lot older than I was. Because once she's
- 9:53Speaker 1: my grandma and she my dad.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Are like forty oh so uh, she was a lot.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Older than most people's grandparents. I guess way she knew
- 10:00Speaker 1: I like sponge jobs. So for like I don't know,
- 10:02Speaker 1: five to seven years, that's all I got was spongebobs.
- 10:05Speaker 2: So I bank bank dank.
- 10:09Speaker 3: Okay, Andy, what I'm nostalgic for is the fast food
- 10:15Speaker 3: of yesteryear.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Oh nice.
- 10:17Speaker 3: So it was such a big like I loved eating McDonald's.
- 10:21Speaker 3: I got like that two cheeseburger meal and when like
- 10:24Speaker 3: they came out with like the bucket of fries and.
- 10:27Speaker 2: It was just for open cheese.
- 10:30Speaker 3: Even like a cheeseburger was like I think thirty nine
- 10:33Speaker 3: cents and hamburger was ten cents. It was so awesome
- 10:36Speaker 3: and just I remember it just being like like a
- 10:40Speaker 3: treat to get fast food instead of eating at home,
- 10:42Speaker 3: which home was looking back now, was probably a lot
- 10:44Speaker 3: more delicious and healthy for me. But that's neither here
- 10:48Speaker 3: nor there. But now flash forward to today when I
- 10:51Speaker 3: do eat fast food, like I gorged pizza this weekend
- 10:55Speaker 3: and I paid for it the next day, and I
- 10:57Speaker 3: just missed that.
- 10:58Speaker 2: But another thing that.
- 11:02Speaker 3: Is like a sharp contrast to us and our relationship
- 11:05Speaker 3: to fast food now is a lot of negative reviews
- 11:09Speaker 3: about fast food restaurants. So I have a couple of
- 11:12Speaker 3: negative reviews for you. So one of them here is
- 11:17Speaker 3: for Dairy Queen. So this one is in Salem, just
- 11:21Speaker 3: bad customer service, rude while ordering, no thank you or anything.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Ice cream is good though.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Yeah I think I did that one.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Yeah. Another one is just.
- 11:33Speaker 3: The one star for Taco Bell, no explanation there. Another
- 11:38Speaker 3: one is Wendy's Here we Go.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Wendy is a bitch. I have not been back since yet.
- 11:45Speaker 2: But here's the one I have.
- 11:46Speaker 3: So for the listener who hasn't cut on yet, I
- 11:49Speaker 3: looked up Andy's Google reviews and was just seeing what
- 11:51Speaker 3: what what what he's into and.
- 11:53Speaker 2: When he's not into. And the one I want to.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Ask you about is this is your relationship with little Caesars.
- 12:02Speaker 1: That one in Albany.
- 12:03Speaker 3: But there's two that are listed on here, but there
- 12:06Speaker 3: is an Albani one, the Albani one. So the first
- 12:09Speaker 3: one is is sal one that I have here. It
- 12:11Speaker 3: says one star review. Little Caesars are on Commercial Street.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Every time I go.
- 12:15Speaker 3: To this location, the pizza is fresh and delicious, that's
- 12:18Speaker 3: what I see. The employees have always been friendly. Last
- 12:21Speaker 3: four times I've tried to go, nothing is ready. At
- 12:25Speaker 3: one time they were so good though nothing gold can last.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that one's she was yelling at the
- 12:32Speaker 1: lady in front of me because the lady in front
- 12:34Speaker 1: of me was getting mad because it was like a
- 12:37Speaker 1: shit show in there. Yeah, and you can't get your
- 12:39Speaker 1: money back when you order online. Oh yeah. So it's
- 12:42Speaker 1: like one time I was at this Chinese restaurant and
- 12:45Speaker 1: it was the whole family and it was like fifty bucks,
- 12:47Speaker 1: sixty bucks during COVID, right, everybody had to wait ten feet.
- 12:50Speaker 1: I was there for like forty five minutes and I
- 12:52Speaker 1: was like, hey, so, just hey, what's up. You know,
- 12:54Speaker 1: I haven't got my food yet. And she goes, oh,
- 12:56Speaker 1: what was the order? And I told her. She goes, oh,
- 12:57Speaker 1: it's not done, and I'm like, oh, she goes, we
- 13:00Speaker 1: lost or whatever, it's gonna take another half far. I'm like, oh,
- 13:02Speaker 1: it's okay. I already been here for like almost an hour.
- 13:05Speaker 1: I just have my money back. And she's like, no,
- 13:07Speaker 1: you ordered it online. I'm like, okay, then bye.
- 13:12Speaker 2: That's such a weird practice, and that's really weird.
- 13:16Speaker 1: I ordered, but they charged me twice. It was twenty
- 13:18Speaker 1: eight dollars for me my daughter. And I was like, oh,
- 13:20Speaker 1: can you cancel one of the orders? And they go, no,
- 13:22Speaker 1: you order it online. I'm like, well, I guess just
- 13:24Speaker 1: give me all the food.
- 13:25Speaker 3: Then they should be able to they should be able
- 13:28Speaker 3: to like override that. But then okay, So the albany
- 13:31Speaker 3: one get to the bottom of this year with you listeners.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I know exactly. This one kissed me the fuck up.
- 13:36Speaker 3: I've gone three times. This is the first time they
- 13:39Speaker 3: have They had the five dollars lunch deal, which that
- 13:42Speaker 3: sounds good. I wish they would have me get this
- 13:45Speaker 3: a little bit bigger. I wish they would have had
- 13:47Speaker 3: it after getting it. The pizza was clearly there for
- 13:51Speaker 3: a long time. Only one slice had more than one
- 13:55Speaker 3: bite of cheese on it. Yes, the other three slices
- 13:58Speaker 3: barely had cheese, and the soda was warm warm yep.
- 14:03Speaker 2: Probably won't go back, so I never did. That's customer
- 14:07Speaker 2: service was.
- 14:08Speaker 3: Good, though, So I think if if the CEO of
- 14:12Speaker 3: Little Caesars is listening, this is a man who has
- 14:15Speaker 3: given you seven seven times overall, at least like attempts
- 14:21Speaker 3: at like redeeming yourself.
- 14:23Speaker 1: I don't I will unless it's like either three or
- 14:26Speaker 1: five times, so Panda express, I've only been there three
- 14:30Speaker 1: times once the first time I went there amazing, second
- 14:33Speaker 1: time awful, third time awful. I'm not gonna go back anymore.
- 14:36Speaker 1: They had three chances, so now I'm just not gonna
- 14:38Speaker 1: expect it anymore. You know.
- 14:39Speaker 3: So you gave Little Caesars three to five chances at
- 14:42Speaker 3: each location.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Yes, because especially the one in Albany, because I lived
- 14:46Speaker 1: in Salem and so in Albany I had to go
- 14:48Speaker 1: somewhere for lunch, and that's why I was so frustrating.
- 14:52Speaker 1: But I also have a lot of great reviews on there.
- 14:53Speaker 3: One percent, yeah, one hundred percent. You have a one
- 14:56Speaker 3: star review for Burger King, So I don't know if
- 14:59Speaker 3: it's that older adults we are more critical of the
- 15:03Speaker 3: food or that we just have the ability to google
- 15:06Speaker 3: review stuff pizza now five star review and you suggested
- 15:10Speaker 3: that place.
- 15:10Speaker 2: To me, that place is pretty damn good.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Yeah, it has to be, like they have to because
- 15:14Speaker 1: I hate because I know some people where they just
- 15:17Speaker 1: do that to try to get free shit. I don't
- 15:19Speaker 1: know people that do that in restaurants. I sit down restaurants,
- 15:23Speaker 1: they'll make a big stink to try to get their
- 15:24Speaker 1: dinner free. So I was like, say, hey, this is
- 15:28Speaker 1: a really bad experience. Like that fucking bitch from Wendy's.
- 15:30Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I would have.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Man. I was so fucking mad at her.
- 15:34Speaker 3: And then I don't do it for restaurants anymore. When
- 15:37Speaker 3: we go back to previous episode and we had Mark
- 15:40Speaker 3: on the show, and I used to pull out my
- 15:42Speaker 3: hair and put it in burgers, but to get comped
- 15:45Speaker 3: for it. But one thing I used to get into
- 15:48Speaker 3: was like, say you are really I was really into
- 15:51Speaker 3: doctor Pepper growing up or like when I was a
- 15:53Speaker 3: young adult. If you contact them and say that your
- 15:56Speaker 3: Doctor Pepper, like your twelve pack or whatever had a
- 15:59Speaker 3: couple dent cans, they used to send you a comp
- 16:02Speaker 3: for a free thing. So I'm wondering if we should
- 16:05Speaker 3: start doing that with beer, and yeah.
- 16:07Speaker 2: See what's up.
- 16:08Speaker 3: And then there's also this new trend of people sending
- 16:11Speaker 3: wedding invitations to supplier like companies. They send a wedding
- 16:17Speaker 3: invitation to lazed Potato chips and then they'll send you
- 16:20Speaker 3: like free shit.
- 16:21Speaker 2: I'm like, this is awesome.
- 16:23Speaker 1: I think the very first Google review I did was
- 16:26Speaker 1: a subplace called Firehouse Subs. Yeah, and it's the first
- 16:30Speaker 1: time I went, and it was so fucking good that
- 16:33Speaker 1: I had to do a five star review. And I
- 16:34Speaker 1: was like, I've been sleeping on this for like two years.
- 16:36Speaker 1: If you guys have not tried Firehouse yet, go there
- 16:39Speaker 1: like asap. It's delicious.
- 16:41Speaker 2: So that place is really good.
- 16:42Speaker 3: There's I was reviewing people's Google reviews today because that's
- 16:48Speaker 3: what I do, and I looked at mine and there's
- 16:51Speaker 3: still one on mine that I don't understand. It's a
- 16:54Speaker 3: five star review but for an energy company in Florida,
- 16:57Speaker 3: and I have zero idea why.
- 17:00Speaker 2: And I'm like, did I get hacked? But like if
- 17:01Speaker 2: I got if.
- 17:02Speaker 3: My Gmail got hacked, that's not the only thing that
- 17:05Speaker 3: they would do.
- 17:06Speaker 1: They would like the word for that company.
- 17:08Speaker 3: Yeah, but they probably take my identity to where they
- 17:10Speaker 3: take my debit card in for me. I don't know,
- 17:12Speaker 3: but that that blows on mind. And then my Little
- 17:14Speaker 3: Caesar's that was a story I don't tell. Yeah, I'm
- 17:17Speaker 3: not sure if I shared you with this before. So
- 17:19Speaker 3: one of my biggest pet peeves, that's like a legitimate
- 17:21Speaker 3: pet peeve, is people that are mean or rude to
- 17:24Speaker 3: service employees that are really like for no reason. So
- 17:28Speaker 3: it was Halloween, maybe about four or five years ago.
- 17:30Speaker 3: We were grabbing pizza for my in laws just from
- 17:33Speaker 3: Little Caesar's. Jeremy and I walk in and it was
- 17:37Speaker 3: super busy. It's Halloween, and there's this little woman that's
- 17:40Speaker 3: like yelling, like raising her voice, doing the hand motions
- 17:43Speaker 3: to the employees. They are like sixteen years old, little kids.
- 17:46Speaker 2: And I should have said, hey, you need to chill out.
- 17:50Speaker 3: It's Halloween. They're just doing their jobs. Blah blah blah,
- 17:53Speaker 3: it's Little Caesar's. Calm down, go write a one star review.
- 17:57Speaker 3: It's seven, you know for after seven times of this.
- 18:00Speaker 3: But instead we walk in within ten seconds maybe ten seconds,
- 18:05Speaker 3: I said, don't be a fucking cunt, like loudly. It
- 18:09Speaker 3: was not the right thing, I should have sex. I'm
- 18:11Speaker 3: trying not to say cunt or bitch anymore, trying to
- 18:13Speaker 3: say asshole more, because everybody you know pretty much has.
- 18:15Speaker 2: A butthole, but she deal has a butthole? Does Dealer
- 18:19Speaker 2: don't have a butthole?
- 18:20Speaker 1: One time? I can't rell tell you. I can't remember
- 18:22Speaker 1: the whole story, but somebody goes, well, I hope deal
- 18:24Speaker 1: has a butthole, and Chefs goes, why do you hope
- 18:27Speaker 1: Deala has a butthole?
- 18:29Speaker 3: Should we start that rumor now that Gela doesn't have
- 18:31Speaker 3: a butthole, Yeah, he doesn't have a butthole. He poops
- 18:33Speaker 3: out of his fingers. But yeah, so Little Caesar's is
- 18:37Speaker 3: a little we It sounds like we both have a
- 18:39Speaker 3: rocky relationship with them. But I just I don't remember
- 18:42Speaker 3: having that much issues and not in listener. If you're
- 18:45Speaker 3: a frequent listener, you know, not not to brag, but
- 18:47Speaker 3: I did work at ARB's No big deal.
- 18:50Speaker 2: It is a big deal.
- 18:51Speaker 3: So I do have a soft spot for fast food
- 18:53Speaker 3: industries employees, and everybody should work in fast food at
- 18:56Speaker 3: some point in their life. Yeah, yeah, fucking ass work ethic,
- 19:00Speaker 3: dealing with the public being quick time management that kind
- 19:04Speaker 3: of thing, like yeah, it's good, you know whatever.
- 19:07Speaker 2: Yeah, you get free food. I used to hop box
- 19:09Speaker 2: to walk in all the time. It was fun.
- 19:13Speaker 3: So I was such a fucking asshole when I worked
- 19:15Speaker 3: there because I was sixteen and the shift leader would
- 19:19Speaker 3: invite her friends in after we were clearly closed, and
- 19:21Speaker 3: I didn't approve of that. So instead of telling her
- 19:24Speaker 3: I didn't approve of it, or telling my boss the
- 19:28Speaker 3: future day, what I did was I grabbed the wind
- 19:30Speaker 3: decks and I warned them to get out, and then
- 19:32Speaker 3: I started spraying them.
- 19:35Speaker 1: So I strayed a bunch of people with bleach one time. No.
- 19:38Speaker 1: I thought this barbecue drinking, and there was this bottle
- 19:40Speaker 1: next to this barbecue, and I thought it was just
- 19:43Speaker 1: like water. Yeah, but I guess it's if there's a fire,
- 19:45Speaker 1: you put like bleach on there. But it's like a
- 19:47Speaker 1: spray bottle. I don't know. So they explained to me afterwards,
- 19:50Speaker 1: But I didn't know that. So I'm like spraying the food,
- 19:53Speaker 1: I spraying people, spraying the dog, and shit, I didn't
- 19:57Speaker 1: know it was bleach water And then you know, hours
- 20:00Speaker 1: bib drinking, I'm spraying people and someone's like, dude, that's
- 20:02Speaker 1: bleach witer. I'm like, I've been spraying people all fucking day.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I've been spraying the dog and all the had a
- 20:07Speaker 1: bunch of bleach water on there. I had no clue.
- 20:10Speaker 2: So yeah, that's I'm gonna say.
- 20:11Speaker 3: That's I think we can all agree that that's the
- 20:14Speaker 3: person's who's bleach water.
- 20:16Speaker 2: That was his fault.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Put bleach on the bleach.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Keep that away from people that are spraying. It's a barbecue.
- 20:22Speaker 2: You see a spray bottle.
- 20:23Speaker 1: We made a garbage can full of jungle juice that night.
- 20:27Speaker 1: It was us like the garbage cans that you see
- 20:30Speaker 1: outside of people's houses, but like the ones you buy
- 20:32Speaker 1: from like Walmart, where they're you know, three fs tall.
- 20:35Speaker 1: We filled probably seventy five percent of that with fucking
- 20:39Speaker 1: jungle juice. And it was just everybody brought like eighth
- 20:41Speaker 1: or nice what half gallons. Yeah, and then we picked
- 20:45Speaker 1: up Dilo, had him upside down, dunked his whole head
- 20:47Speaker 1: in it, and it was some fun night. So anyways,
- 20:50Speaker 1: if you're gonna make a fucking garbage can full of
- 20:53Speaker 1: jungle juice, at least put bleach on the goddamn water bottle,
- 20:56Speaker 1: you know.
- 20:56Speaker 2: And then to.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Wrap up the fast foods algia thing. I don't know
- 21:00Speaker 3: if you talked about this before, being you have definitely.
- 21:03Speaker 3: So we love our spouses, love them to death. But
- 21:06Speaker 3: if you're ordering fast food, you order as is. You
- 21:10Speaker 3: order as is. Maybe one alteration where you remove something,
- 21:14Speaker 3: never add it. Removing they save money. It's lost work
- 21:17Speaker 3: for them. But Jeremy, bless his heart, he has me
- 21:20Speaker 3: order him McDonald's breakfast and he has me tell them
- 21:24Speaker 3: sub scramble egg so he doesn't want the egg patty.
- 21:27Speaker 3: He wants scrambled eggs. And a lot of times they say, well,
- 21:29Speaker 3: we don't do that, and then I have to be like, no,
- 21:31Speaker 3: you guys do do that because we've done it before.
- 21:35Speaker 2: It's so stressful.
- 21:36Speaker 3: And then when he makes me order because I don't
- 21:38Speaker 3: usually eat McDonald's anymore, but he has me order no
- 21:42Speaker 3: salt on fries and then he makes me get salt
- 21:45Speaker 3: at at the window, which I get that, but like
- 21:48Speaker 3: that's for somebody who is like crippling anxiety. That's so
- 21:51Speaker 3: much for me to do.
- 21:52Speaker 1: That's why I do the fast food ass because you
- 21:53Speaker 1: can do those things on the app. But I haven't
- 21:56Speaker 1: talked to anybody, Okay, that's a good plug.
- 21:58Speaker 2: I need to do that.
- 21:59Speaker 1: And you get a lot of free shit it.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Yeah, extame. Time I go there, there was like, are
- 22:02Speaker 2: you using your app?
- 22:02Speaker 1: And I'm like, no, I mean Blazer game. You get
- 22:06Speaker 1: a free six piece chicken nugget from McDonald's.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Damn. I love that, all right.
- 22:10Speaker 3: So I'm nostalgic for fast food of yesterdayear where it
- 22:13Speaker 3: didn't cause me like digestive issues, it was cheaper or
- 22:16Speaker 3: didn't cause me anger or Andy anger. And then Andy
- 22:20Speaker 3: was nostalgic for skateboarding of that era. So I love that,
- 22:24Speaker 3: all right. Listener, leave us a review, follow us on
