11:15
I've heard recent things, but Ripley, it's it's really good. It's really
11:18

14:58
AC came out earlier this week. First two episodes very divided amongst nine just
15:05
I mean shocking stars. Maybe I can't make a fuck. We can't agree
15:07
to anything. No shocking one of my watch though this is funny. Good
15:13
friend of the show. Uh no, the f his name Zilla? Wait?
15:22
Is that his name? Yeah? I think so? Yeah? Fuck
15:24
I can't remember his name. So he wasn't really a fan of it.
15:31
I haven't, I haven't. I haven't talked to click a clack about it
15:33
yet. Or was it Shacksla? It was shags anyway? Sorry, Drew
15:37
it is shackline. Thank you shack Baby. I enjoyed it a lot,
15:43
and that's not just because I'm a Star Wars junkie, but I I mean,
15:46
I'm it's two episodes. I'm gonna lie again. My one biggest scrape
15:48
with any Disney Plus show was like, Okay, HBO can do an hour
15:52
and you guys can really do twenty five minutes. That what the fuck?
15:54
Anyway, I really enjoyed it. But like in the first episode, there's
15:58
not a it's not a major spoiler. It's not a spoiler. There's a
16:02
part where, you know, one of the main characters walking through a ship,
16:03
shocking walking someone walking in on a ship in Star Wars where Star Wars
16:08
takes place in space. I thought it was like a battleship, like in
16:12
the Ocean the stars, the months the stars, or a month Lake County.
16:22
She was, Okay, there's a part where two fucking gunans like from
16:27
the Tray generation, they're just walking by there like like woman goes oh and
16:33
started dying. It's like, you guys are not hiding the fact that these
16:37
characters are made fun of anyway, getting out of the actual point. So
16:42
lovely wife, it's over in Europe kicking ass right now with our beautiful,
16:47
awesome, handsome dog Tully funny crime. So, in order for an animal
16:56
to travel internationally, there's obviously certain things you have to get, so it
17:03
obviously varies by each country. I am a very big, very big supporter
17:08
of you know, all like animal like, you know, awareness groups,
17:14
you know, like like you know, you know, adopt, don't shot
17:17
the whole nine yards on that ship. Anyway. Our vet is awesome,
17:21
the vet, all the staff there is awesome. However this is and I
17:26
don't know, I don't know this is Germany or EU. I can't remember
17:29
which one it was with them. I'm just gonna say EU might be wrong,
17:33
you know. Or for your animal to go over there, you need
17:37
to get a check up within ten days or I think it's ten days before
17:41
your departure. Ten days, so they make sure, you know, all
17:42
the bag, all the shots are up the day his chips work in the
17:47
whole nine yards, Okay, keep in mind, uh And I never disclosed
17:52
this. She was supposed to go a couple of months prior. But you
17:53
know, there's a lot of things going on in the world right now.
17:56
Things get delayed, Things are backed up. That's just the way it is.
18:00
We made them aware back then, Hey this is probably gonna happen.
18:06
There's really anything we gotta do when you do so. And they's pretty much
18:10
like, hey, ten days before he goes, you gotta do this,
18:11
you gotta get this form whatever. Okay, cool? What now come to
18:14
find out this form, Well, it's not a passport. It's like a
18:18
fucking passport because they obviously have to be a credit in which they are and
18:25
I won't say which, which Veninari Housepital because that's I don't say a damn
18:29
business. Now your fucking business. Fuck you. You gotta get this form
18:34
right, essentially saying, hey, this dog he good. This dog gets
18:41
two thumbs up, one for being healthy and good two for being fucking adorable
18:45
in that case, three thumbs up like a like a like a gentleman.
18:52
I call, I call not ten days before, I call eleven, eleven
18:56
days before, and I'm like, hey, here's the stitch there going into
19:00
Germany. Here's the date. Can we get this appointment please? And they're
19:04
like, I wish you'd have done this sooner, and I'm like, excuse
19:10
me, but all the story short, they're saying like this paper could have
19:14
been apparently been done for a while and the appointment could have been ten days
19:17
after that, and I'm like, well that's news to us. And they're
19:22
like, did nobody tell you? And I'm like, clearly not, because
19:26
I've because since this one appoint where we mentioned it, he's been in twice
19:32
and not once was it mentioned. Lot. Story short, he does the
19:34
appointment, we do the paperwork, we get they file it, we pay
19:40
for an expedition, all that stuff. So I'm not gonna say what day.
19:45
What's just say my wife left on a Thursday. Okay, flew on
19:49
a Thursday. Find international. It's pretty young. It's not not saying it's
19:53
stressful, but like you know, it's like, hey, you're a little
19:56
nerve wrackings. You got to worry about costumes and all that shit. Plus
20:00
she's flying with a dog and falls closure Uh, totally has been flying now
20:03
since we got him. He's flown to Miami, right, he's falling to
20:07
Miami or he's froll in the Miami. He's full to Miami? What full
20:11
the Miami? What? What? What? What? He's flown in Miami?
20:17
What fl in Chicago? What flowing? New York. What flown to
20:22
California? What? Well? What? I think that's it. I think
20:27
that's it. Essentially, he's flown from one coast to another. Okay,
20:34
here planes than I have. Have you really not flown that much? So
20:44
totally used to fly. Let's say she's supposed to be on a Thursday morning,
20:48
Okay, called the VET and I'm like, hey, we're getting a
20:53
little close to crunch time here and we don't have this form yet. What's
20:56
going on? And fallowsclosure. The people of the vet in office were awesome.
21:00
They were continuously calling me, give me updates on this stuff, and
21:03
I like, look, you're awesome. Dog who gets three thumbs up,
21:07
two for being healthy, two for being fucking adorable. He got approved,
21:11
he's all good to go by the USDA Jesus. And I'm like, oh,
21:17
the forum's not here yet, my vet. The vet office closed at
21:21
five o'clock. I'm calling them. I'm calling them. They gave me a
21:26
tracking number for the form, Like okay, great, we got a tracking
21:27
number. The forms coming. It's in full disclosures the day before she flies
21:34
out. So it was one of those things where like we're not gonna talk
21:37
about what happens, because if we talk about it, then that form is
21:41
not gonna come. So we didn't talk about that at all. We didn't
21:44
talk about that plane at all. So check get the u j F E
21:52
or FS tracking label. I'm not gonna say the actual provider because I want
21:56
because they're not paying for the show, not paying the fuck Just wait,
22:00
hey, I'm taking Drew's advice. Fuck them. So tracking number says will
22:06
be delivered by twelve thirty or twelve or one o'clock. Great, awesome,
22:11
twelve forty five comes, will be delivered between the hours of twelve forty five
22:15
and forty five. Great, we still have confirmation it's coming today. Three
22:22
point thirty comes by, We'll be delivered by two forty five. That's fucking
22:27
wrong. I call correct, I call the vents zone, and I go,
22:33
did your contact in the USDA office, which I don't know how the
22:36
fuck they have that have any update? And they said they guarantee they'll be
22:38
delivered today, And I'm like bullshit. So and this is how nice they
22:48
are. They were worried about it. So they're like, please, for
22:51
the love of God, call us when it gets delivered, because we're worried
22:56
sick. Jesus, this is good. This is a nice people. I'm
23:00
like, absolutely the that office closes at five o'clock. They call me five
23:06
minutes to five, did it come yet? No? No, and the
23:12
one lady Lily goes crap. So I say, if it shows up,
23:19
I will call you first thing and leave and his voice mail. They hang
23:23
up. The closes at five o'clock. Guess who shows up at my door
23:27
fucking five after Oh my god, the guy with the form. He obviously
23:33
doesn't know what the fuck it is from. No, no, no,
23:37
his his and for his defense, this is one of the like one of
23:41
the days last week where it was hotter than absolute nutsack and the humidity was
23:45
insane to the point where like we're like, we're not going. We went
23:48
for a walk and we did a very we did that. We always took
23:51
tollally on walks, but we did we actually we did like our we did
23:53
a shorter version of our short walks of how human it was. So we
24:00
get the form and then of course Kaitlin and I are like, holy shit,

24:10
keep in mind the week prior is when totally got approved to travel internationally a
24:15
week prior and we paid for overnight shipping. Let's just say she left on
24:21
a Thursday, so that means we got this form on a Wednesday. Would
24:23
you like to guess what day this this form was sent to us? What
24:30
day was it shipped? That which? I have to guess, my friend?
24:33
A week before, five days before Jesus overnight? My ass over?
24:38
How many nights? I apologize? Four nights? Four nights? It was
24:44
four nights because you gotta count the Sunday, which doesn't count, and that
24:48
kind of spoils who was shipping this form. And here's the best part about
24:55
it, my friend, So this is the last thing we were legitimately worried
24:59
about for her travels, because part part of us getting the dog was like,
25:03
look, we made a decision. I was going to stay back,
25:07
she was gonna go. So we got a dog. We've been talk about
25:10
a dog from like, Hey, look we'll train the dog. He'll be
25:11
good boy. He can go with you to Germany and enjoy all your European
25:15
adventures. M. So it's really sweet. Guess what is on this form
25:23
in big red letters? Oh, God, I can't for everyone to see
25:30
it's one word. It's the word urgent. Why the fuck wasn't it here?
25:38
And then fucking days prior because I because of course, I'm like I'm
25:45
relieved. I'm like, oh, thank God, have made it. Kaitlyn
25:48
grabs the foreman goes hmm, not urgent enough, fucking pussy. I was
25:56
pissed because I'm because like again, we was like in my as, it
26:00
was literally one of the things is all right, let's let's not fucking say
26:03
it. Let's not like it's like because like at one point, because Kennon's
26:06
like, yeah, like you know later if it doesn't come, we'll talk
26:08
about it. And I'm like, no, it's gonna come. It's gonna
26:10
come, and it's gonna come. Oh yeah, I know it's gonna come.
26:12
Yeah, it's gonna come. Uh where's that though? Yeah? So
26:18
I left the very nice voicemail for a VET office, very nice voicemail,
26:23
all that stuff. I thanked all of them by name because we know all
26:26
of them by name. I didn't get a call back, like fucking funnily
26:33
black this guy's number black him. Now we didn't like him anyway, We
26:41
didn't liked Caitlin. All right, sorry, they're gonna love me when I
26:48
bring the cats in. Yeah, well it made it, made it though,
26:52
And yeah, like, no need talking about what would have happened if
26:56
it hadn't, because it did it. Always why talk about some Why why
27:00
would you? Why talk about what if the thing we all wanted happened?
27:04
Nothing? There's nothing, nothing to discuss. The thing we all knew what
27:07
happened happened exactly, wonderful, exactly. So so what are you some of
27:15
your plans, Well, the ladies overseas, so I will obviously be going
27:21
to visit her and stuff like that. Meantime, I'm gonna be here getting
27:25
my ship figured out. You know, I said, I'm I've really gotten
27:33
really invested in trying to really advance like voice stuff. So I'm gonna taking
27:36
some voice acting courses this summer. I know, I've kind of discussed you
27:40
know, sports management stuff as well. I'm still interested in that. I'm
27:42
still looking to that found a thing with the NFL that I'm really interested in
27:48
that I'm gonna look into as well. And uh, in the meantime,
27:51
just trying to get Like I told my wife, but I just want to
27:52
get. I'm gonna get tatted and jacked. I gotta work on the jack
27:56
part. Yeah about halfway half for through the year. Yeah, you know,
28:02
I'm I'm I'm in terms of tattoos, I'm happy where I'm at.
28:03
But yeah, the jack thing I work on a little bit. Although and
28:07
actually I don't I know she loves this story. I don't know if she
28:11
wants me to tell it. I'm sorry, honey, I'm gonna tell you.
28:12
I'm gonna say this. I got one more story for you. Sorry,
28:15
I'm just I'm just rambling on here today because it's been a couple of
28:18
weeks. And O g. Patron, you're gonna love this story because actually,
28:22
I don't know if I told you this. Okay, I have been
28:26
after the after the party. Yes, I have been with my lovely wife
28:30
now we have been together for eleven years, not married for eleven years.
28:36
Fucking weirdos. Actually, actually I know, I'm not gonna lie. I'm
28:41
not gonna Actually I don't know. I remember their name. One of the
28:42
weddings. Someone asked me that question. I said, Oh, he'll be
28:45
good for eleven years, like he's been married for that long. I'm like,
28:48
no, no, so that doesn't even make sense. So we went
28:56
to a wedding uh the weekend after her birthday part in Milwaukee. It was
29:00
a good time for friends Emily and Elliott. And then last weekend we went
29:07
to another wedding for our friends Emily and Ryan. So all the ends a
29:11
game married Emily Emily season. Is there another Emily? Nothing I can think
29:15
of. No, yeah, nothing can think of at the moment. Okay.
29:18
Anyway, So for eleven years, okay, I've gone to you know,
29:25
I'm a pretty easy guy to shop for. Give me a phone,
29:26
go give me the Star Wars, buy me food, pretty easy, right,
29:33
Yeah. My wife and I we've gone to like, you know,
29:36
we've gone close shopping. We've gone to Goodwill. There was and I probably
29:41
can't remember the name of this, like it was like a thrift boutique store
29:42
downtown Milwaukee. It's kind of near the Third Ward if you lived down the
29:47
exec which what I'm talking about. I don't if it's still there. They
29:48
always had good ship. That's actually why you got all my suits and stuff
29:52
like that for what I was in college doing TV and stuff like that.
29:55
I still have one of them because the suit was like it's super nice,
29:57
but I'm like, once I lose a bunch of like, that's the first
30:00
Ti'm gonna wear. So in terms of actual clothes shopping though, for myself,
30:10
Caitlin has never really gone with me for that. That's been my choice
30:14
because I'm a simple guy. I mean, I still have fucking shirts from
30:15
high school in college or I mean, seriously, majority of my shirts,
30:22
I'm not I'm not joking when I say it's the majority of my nice shirts,
30:25
like York shirts are from like our Christmas gifts, and the majority of
30:29
like my like, hey, I'm just a dude wearing my T shirts are
30:32
from like professional wrestling events or the or the occasional like you know, Chicago
30:37
Bears whatever shirt. I can't identify with that at all. No, no,
30:41
no, no, no, You've never seen me wear a wrestling I've
30:42
never see you wear a wrestling shirt. Actually, I don't even know what
30:45
that means. Yeah. No, last time I saw you were wearing a
30:47
Chests Championship T shirt from two thousand and four. Nice anyway, Yeah,
30:52
sorry, they clean my throat. So we go shopping and I'm a bigger
30:56
guy, Okay, so I'm not gonna say where it's kind of obvious though,
31:03
especially if you live in United States America. I had to go shopping
31:04
at a certain store that really helps us big boys. And of course this
31:14
is like the first time Caitlin has seen me trying clothes where I'm like,
31:17
oh, it doesn't fit. No, if anything, shit didn't fit it
31:18
was too big. Yeah, it's a plus, you know what I mean?
31:23
It was pretty good. And I can't remember the guy's name from the
31:27
store. I think it was Ryan or Brian. I want to say Ryan,
31:30
Actually I think about I'm pretty sure it was Brian something Ian. So
31:37
my my ass right away we walk into the store and the reason where I
31:41
went to the store is because the suit I were at the first Emily's wedding.
31:44
I'm like, look, I want to change it up. I want
31:45
to different wear a different suit. I need to get a new suit.
31:48
Anyway, let's go to the store. Let's go to the clearance section because
31:51
that's where I bought the suit I wore previously. Let's go to the clarence
31:53
section and see what we can. Actually, that's a lot, that's it
31:56
was not clear. That's it was new, but it was a cheaper suit.
31:57
But that's why I bought my couple dressers. Anyway, go to the
32:00
clearance section, trying on got shirts, hoodies, pants, whole brigade suit
32:07
selection for the clearance section. Nah, they had one jacket that she absolutely
32:14
loved. There is no reason this jacket should have been in a big guy
32:17
store. Way too fucking small. Anyway, So I grab all these clothes,
32:22
right, and I go to the uh dressing room whatever it's kind of
32:29
it's not. And by the way, this dressing room, it's not like
32:30
clothes in a back corner of like like an actual retail clothing store. It's
32:35
like right dead center, and there's like two little entrance ways. We're like,
32:37
honestly, if like, if you just toolt your head, you can
32:38
see not you can't see me, but I ass naked, but like you
32:42
can see what I'm doing. So anyway, changing my clothes. Some things
32:46
I like, some things I don't, somethings like cake, some things I
32:51
give back, And all of a sudden, I'm like, all right,
32:53
cool, Like I got like I'm like, you know, I need I
32:55
need some new clothes for work. We'll get some nice stuff. I'm like,
32:58
okay, cool, let's go look for a suit and Camelyn just starts
33:00
going around pulling suits stuff like that. So let's see what fits first.
33:04
And then I love my wife to death. Brian ask her the question.
33:10
He's like, so, like, you know, like, what are you
33:12
guys shopping for, to which my wife goes, but I never he never
33:15
lets me go close shopping with him, so I don't know, to which
33:17
he says out loud, you shouldn't have told me that. So blonde story
33:28
short, I only tried on two suits. First suit, was really a
33:32
fan of it, just wasn't wasn't my thing. Second suit, and I'm
33:37
not gonna lie to you of all the suits I thought my wife would pick.
33:39
And this is why to this day she's still she's still full surprises.
33:42
She picked out a linen suit. Let me just say that she looked good,
33:51
and I was like, oh, yeah, I look good in this,
33:53
to the point where I was like, let me try in a different
33:55
pair of pants in the same exact style and the same company. I just
33:59
want see what ones fit better. And because I'm I don't care you want,
34:02
I'm I'm confident who I look. I bought the bigger size. But
34:07
this is where they got me no, it's no one's fault. I should
34:13
have asked, but I didn't because, as my wife says, treat yourself.
34:16
So I walk up to the counter. I have my shirts, I
34:22
have a hoodie I bought, I have some socks or not that's I have
34:27
a polo and shit like that. And I put it on the counter and
34:30
he goes like, yeah, great, you came to a great day we
34:32
have. It essentially was like, you know whatever, whatever the percentage off
34:37
on some items are double that. I'm like, fucking sweet, let's go.
34:42
All of a sudden, they ring up the bill and I go,
34:45
huh what. It turns out the shirts, the suits we're not on Clarence.
34:57
Oh god, but you know what, treat you self. And I
35:00
fucking bought that shit. There you go. So what I'm trying to say
35:04
is all you young lads out there, all you gents, let your wife
35:09
go close shopping with you, because I'm not gonna lie. It was a
35:13
blast, a fucking blast. And then like true people, like true romantics
35:17
we are, because we're in this very nice we were in Libertyville or no
35:23
Vernon Hills, like you know, the area exactly whatever. It was very
35:27
nice area. Very good, wide variety of food selections patch, and I
35:30
have been there a couple of times. I've gone there for some other things,
35:34
some other big occasions. And where do we go for this glorious evening
35:37
of awesome success, for this awesome attire. I bought to celebrate and really
35:44
really really satisfy our hunger A place that involves a certain bear. What the
35:54
fu? Yeah? What what are you talking about? I think about it.
36:02
Certain bear. There's a certain bear that's giving, that gives you food
36:08
pretty expressly. Uh no, I thought I had it a certain bear.
36:19
Come on, come on, give me a here, I said in just
36:24
what I said. Did I know this place? Yes, you do.
36:30
It's very good. There's a wide, sir election of different things, but
36:34
was really known for one item, very good with rice. Uh oh,
36:43
fuck, I'm dumb. I'm dumb. Yeah, I got it. We
36:46
got it, everybody got it. Everybody Hey, alright, we're got okay.
36:52
So yeah, So that's that's that's literally all I've been up through the
36:55
last couple of weeks. Yeah, no, I great time. Uh don't
37:04
regret a single thing of item clothing. I bought little good and everything in
37:07
it and uh yeah. Also the wedding. Weddings were a blast. Hell
37:12
yeah. Although one one quick thing, Ellien Ryan's wedding was Ellien and Elliot's
37:16
wedding awesome. Ellien Ryan's wedding awesome, Ellien Ryan's wedding. No, we
37:20
were a little concerned, not about the wedding. Wedding was beautiful, phenomenal,
37:23
was I'm not gonna lie to you Patrick. Yeah. I had a
37:29
lot, and I mean at to drink, so did some of my friends.
37:32
We drink a lot most but there was there was a shuttle, so
37:37
we were saved. So like, hey, cool, we have a ride
37:38
home. Let's get blastered. And by the way, I had been drinking
37:45
before I even got on the bus. I went with. I went to
37:49
uh uh brewery was a brewery, a little brewery with my friend Leah,
37:54
and I had and I tried out some of their I sambled some of their
37:58
beers. All were fantastic, and I had a decent buzz going. And
38:02
before I left, one of the groom's been in Ryan's wedding, Elliott,
38:06
the guy who got married two weeks prior. He's walking down the hall toy
38:08
with that big smile on his face. I mean Patrick, you remember Eve
38:12
met Elliott, Oh walking down, the big smile on his face, and
38:14
he's got clearly something behind his back, and I go, if you're gonna
38:16
ice meats, don't it doesn't count. And of course he just literally puts
38:21
the bottle of smearing off in my chest, is like, oh, you
38:22
got ice. And of course I saw the groom, the groom behind him,
38:25
like, well, I can't disappoint the groom. So of course my
38:29
wife is right there because she just had me walking by and I'm on my
38:31
and I'm on one leg in shorts and a cutoff tea doing in the eye.
38:37
There you go doing some you know, I got ice and ship.
38:39
But anyway, we got to the wedding and we had a lot to drink
38:42
and I'm not we don't know what it was. We weren't plastered. Because
38:45
I'm not gonna lie to you. I've I've been to some weddings where you
38:49
know what, like I'm not afraid to say, like I can control my
38:51
liquor. But that was one of those weddings where I was like, oh,
38:53
I had a lot to drink and I don't know how I wasn't drunk.
38:55
It got to the point I was like, oh, I didn't drink
38:58
water, but I wasn't buzzed. I had and then once I switched the
39:00
beer, I went right. I started having my buzz back. And here's
39:06
the thing, like these the bartenders, they were pouring pretty nicely too,
39:09
but we were watching We're like, this is weird, like why why are
39:13
we not getting drunker? And it's also funny too because we saw one of
39:15
the bartenders get yelled at because you know, like you know, like you've
39:17
been the weddings obviously, you know, whenever we get a cocktail, what
39:21
do you get it? You get like a little little not gonna say a
39:22
little like a little regular size plastic cup, you know, I mean,
39:25
nothing too crazy. There's one bartender who everyone was going to was giving us
39:30
all of our cocktails in full sized glasses, full twelve ouncers. Baby,
39:35
there you go, and he definitely got yelled at, my god, what
39:40
are you doing shit? Yo? Like last week? Yes, and this
39:45
is during a cocktailer by the way too, it's like the wedding and we
39:47
haven't got the dinner yet. But yeah, no, So that's what I've
39:52
been up to the last couple weeks. Uh, getting looking good and partying
39:58
good, but wondering why the party wasn't hitting me that hard after I don't
40:01
know, you know what, I don't know. That's a good question,
40:06
because I haven't. I don't really drink a whole lot anymore. Yeah,
40:09
and my lady, uh, she was like, I've never seen you as
40:15
joke as you've been at Caitlyn's going away party like I was. I was
40:19
doing the whole drunken master style, like falling over but catching myself and ship
40:22
and being like we were all little drunk that night. You know, you
40:27
mentioned Drew earlier. He fucked me over with the ring hook game, like
40:30
I mentioned in the last episode, I was on and but yeah, you
40:34
know what, I've also been taking a break from all the the other party
40:37
favors I usually, you know, I've been doing for a long time,
40:42
and it's been good. It's been it's been really good to take a break
40:45
from that, you know. And uh, you know, I just I've
40:51
just been trying to find some part time gigs. I've got my first this
40:55
is Friday is as of recording. Uh, And I've got my first shift
40:59
over at a barbecue place in town. Oh, you know, doing some
41:02
serving and hopefully getting some good tips. And then you know, my schedule
41:07
with my main job is kind of weird, weird hours, you know,
41:09
because I'm doing in home and it's summer, so clients are off of school
41:13
and things like that. So right I'm looking for a got some prospects for
41:19
Monday and Friday because right now I'll only be working four to seven on Monday
41:22
Friday. But uh, you know what other than that, I mean,
41:25
I'm looking forward to it. I like doing the barista type jobs and you
41:31
know, good atmosphere at this place downtown. I want to take it to
41:34
good coffee. See that's that's the thing. I just I I'll never forget
41:38
I had my which rides I need to get. I need a schedule because
41:42
it'll make sure get your yearly chuck ups. Go to the dentists on that
41:44
jazz too. I to get my yearly checkup because I'll never forget. Like
41:49
I know, I'm a bigger guy, but like I hate the question.
41:52
And by the way, full culture, I understand why they I understand why
41:54
they ask it. I get it. But like whenever, like whenever you
41:58
get asked like how man dream to have a week, I'm like I don't
42:01
have an answer because I don't know I've gone and they you have to do
42:06
math, right, I know, that's that's that's that's the first that's your
42:09
first mistake because ask me to do math. But no, like I've had
42:13
like there's been weeks where I've been had a single I haven't had a single
42:15
drop. Yeah, but then there's like weekends like the last three where it's
42:19
like party on Wayne, you know what I mean. So yeah, I
42:22
mean like during like the Winner. I mean, since I got in the
42:27
car, since I've been drink coffee last year, I've definitely got more to
42:29
like espresso martinis and stuff like that. Which and by the way, because
42:34
Kayla, she was saying I should make one, and she's right, I
42:37
should make one because obviously the two drinks I'm very into, one of being
42:39
old fashions, one being I p as, but also now another one is
42:43
spress of martinis. I know, very very wide, very selection. I
42:46
am gonna start. I'm trying to I'm gonna start something soon with like rating
42:52
my best places for expresso martinis. Yelp. Yeah, yeah, one of
42:57
those yelpers. Tell right now, one of the worst ones I had is
43:00
at a place where it likes to make fun of me for going to.
43:02
Yes, it is down in Disney. I'm not gonna say where yet.
43:06
Uh I know follow Slosure this place where and I have always gone to it.
43:12
It's very good. I've talked about it before in the podcast. Very
43:15
good food, very good service, very good people, very good people.
43:20
But they literally have Oh I just realized that, let's tal get down there.
43:25
N I'll never forget. This is the first time I were in a
43:30
spress of martini there, and I literally saw it at the bar where we
43:34
were sitting because they have they have two bar cycles at this place, and
43:37
the bar that we were sitting next to had an espresso literally had an espresso
43:40
maker at the bar. I'm like, sit, I'm gonna get one of
43:44
their spressal Martins and try it because you're like, oh yeah, we're known
43:45
for a spress of martinis from once, like the employees okay, great,
43:50
and I'm watching it. I'm like, waiting for my spressal martini. I'm
43:52
like, okay, they're not making it yet, still waiting, and so
43:55
also heres my waiter. Okay, she got a Swiss some martini, but
44:00
I didn't see him making it at the espresso maker and it was espresso on
44:04
the cord. I'm like, who is that for? Why even work over
44:15
there? Donald's ice scream machine over there? And I don't I don't know
44:22
if the machine was booking or whatnot, Like this was she was big,
44:23
So I'm like, if it's just for show, that's a lot of wasted
44:25
space. Yeah, well those things are you gotta really, you know,
44:31
take care of them and clean them and shutter and they could just break down.
44:35
But I don't know what you're talking about, so who knows. But
44:37
yeah, speaking of express, speaking of coffee type things. Coffee, let
44:42
me let me tell you something. Okay, let me let me lay down
44:46
with his culinary wizard. She's got skills and we made stakes the other day.
44:53
Now I make a decent steak, but she does some Gordon Ramsey ship
44:58
with the steaks. So I handled the sides and let me tell you something.
45:01
Okay, he sees in your steak? What he sees in your steak?
45:04
With check? Well, the goat was obvious. Always salt and pepper.
45:07
Of course, you always want to have a little kind of like I
45:09
always like to play a little garlic in there. Maybe a little uh and
45:14
then of course, like I always thought it was still stupid, but I'll
45:15
never get like one time made a steak and I did like the time thing
45:17
like right out the last you're like, oh yeah, yeah, you know,
45:21
just keep yeah, a little tasty. And then occasionally whenever that's usually
45:25
I do the first sakes, Like occasionally I'll put like a little onion kind
45:29
of like powder or salt in there. Just get like a little extra,
45:30
like little flavor. But this salt pepper a little thyme. Let me tell
45:37
you what she did. She did, you know, she did the typical
45:38
salt pepper, a little garlic. She actually did something like uh frid garlic
45:45
on there. Very good. But then she also asked me, hey,
45:49
when are you going that draw over there? This straw over there? Yeah,
45:52
what do you want to this straw? Grab me some coffee? Well,
45:57
oh okay, she put a little bit of coffee. I like liquid
46:02
coffee, but just like coffee, ground coffee, not coffee grounds, okah,
46:07
but ground coffee. And she put it on a steak, and I'm
46:10
like, oh my god, I can't wait to see what this does.
46:14
Dude, fucking never looking back, immaculate, so she took like a thing
46:19
of folders coffee, not Folger's, bro. What do you do? I'm
46:22
just I'm just oh, I said the name. No, some Peruvian coffee
46:30
or some shit. I kind of checked some Colombian coffee or something like that.
46:34
Some good Colombian, high quality Colombia. Don't ask where we got it
46:37
anyway. Did she put it on the steak. I'm like, oh,
46:42
yeah, okay. And I didn't know what to expect because I've never had
46:45
that. And it had a nice, nice bite, like a little spice
46:51
note little oh little awakened your mouth a little bit with the meat. Oh
46:55
my god, it's so good, so succulent. I mean, we made
46:58
some roast potatoes and we made it's mysparagous. And let's just say it was
47:00
a good meal. That was Tuesday before we went out for the anniversary,
47:04
so we did a little double dip anniversary celebration dinner situation. It was great.
47:09
I'm very lucky and very happy to be in the position i'm in right
47:14
now. Thank you, Bud, Thank you. Now she's out, she's
47:19
out with she's out in DC, like I mentioned, But a couple of
47:22
weeks back and I think we were going to pod, but I said,
47:27
hey, the last minute kind of thing happened. We had her sister and
47:30
her nephew over for a few days from DC and they just moved from Delhi
47:36
in India, so a bit of a bit of a lot, a lot
47:38
of culture shot going on. And let's just say her nephew, he's about
47:44
four years old. In man, he was a pleasant handful. He was
47:54
all over the place. As soon as he got in the door, He's
47:57
like, oh, what's this over here? What's this? What's this?
47:59
What's this? Oh my god, let me take all this stuff off the
48:01
show, Like, hey, hey, slow down, all right, easy,
48:08
Hey, why don't you listen to your mother? All right? Why
48:10
don't you go get washed up, go get settled down. Maybe we'll play
48:14
some moon on huh, we'll play you know, please No. But it
48:20
was a it was a it was an eventful few days for a few days,
48:23
very busy. Tried to keep them all busy. I had a I
48:27
had a break from work because my client, uh that I was working with,
48:31
was on a trip with his family. So I was like, you
48:34
know what, this works out pretty nice actually, able to kind of host,
48:37
able to do a lot and take you guys around town because the lady
48:39
doesn't have a license yet, she doesn't have a car yet. It's very
48:44
close to happening. But yeah, no, what we ended up doing was
48:49
taking them to the park and of course hanging out playing you scared to go
48:53
up the letters, and then all of a sudden, it's like, oh,
48:57
I'm not scared anymore. These are just bullshit. There's a baby ship,
49:00
I can climb, I can clan the lighters, like, no problem,
49:01
that's fine. It's like, hey, got a good job. Good
49:04
job. And then all of a sudden, he takes off to the other
49:06
side of the park, just just running like didn't say a word, you
49:09
know, didn't didn't say a word, just started running to something else you
49:13
saw. So that's the kind of energy we're bringing, you know, but
49:19
to give to give my my partner and her sister. Sometime they'll be alone
49:23
and talk as sisters do, because they haven't really had a lot of time,
49:29
especially when my partner was in the hospital. You know, Shoot,
49:32
they were still in Delhi, right, our family are still in Deli.
49:36
So it's like they've had a lot to catch up on, right, and
49:38
I haven't seen each other in person in a long time at this point,
49:44
and I take the nephew to a movie, like I'm playing babysitter. I'm
49:49
going to go show them a movie in America, first time for him,
49:52
all this fun stuff, and I'm like, what's playing? What's playing in
49:58
theaters? Well, and not a lot, and especially not a lot for
50:01
kids. But I know what was available at the time was the Garfield movie.
50:16
And let's just say, Chris Pratt, you watch your mouth. Let's
50:29
just say I was shocked at points. I was laughing at the wrong things
50:38
in the movie. Of course, it was one of those movies where they
50:42
tried to fit in some jokes for the adults, and even those were like
50:45
cringey as hell. No, like elbow the fucking mom or dad next to
50:52
you be like you see that? Shiit No, it's like telling the lady
50:57
at the Italian restaurant to tell John to get on date apps and ship and
51:00
don't forget to pay for memberships and ship. And I was like, what
51:04
the fuck. But then there's also some like visually jarring moments just that came
51:07
out of nowhere, Like parts with the audio just got fucking loud out of
51:12
nowhere, you know, and I'm with a four year old kid. He's
51:16
never been in a theater in America with like giant fucking speakers. So he's
51:22
he's well, first of all, this kid's loaded on sugar. I got
51:27
him. We got him a slurpye, we got him a bunch of crunch.
51:30
And I was like, all right, of course, of course a
51:31
small hero is an extra large there right right and uh. And his mom
51:37
before he left, before we left, she was like, don't don't let
51:39
him have popcorn. He's got a I don't want it to get can his
51:43
throat. And I'm like, fine, that should be no problem. We'll
51:45
get him as slurpy. We'll get him some fucking or icy, not a
51:50
slurpee, and we'll get him some bunch of crunch. He'll be fine.
51:52
And immediately as soon as we said that, I was like, I want
51:54
popcorn, just puts his hand right in the bucket, like, damn it,
52:00
I have to remind you to wash your hands every time you go to
52:04
the bathroom. We all do, right, because he's four, and he's
52:07
like, oh, everything is a new adventure. Let me go over here.
52:10
I'm done in the bathroom. Let me go over here. And so
52:15
I was like, you know what, fine, popcorn. If you choke,
52:17
I'll give you the Heimlich maneuver. It'll be fine. I'll have to
52:21
explain to everybody what the relationship is. So it's gonna just wrestling a kid
52:28
in public. But anyway, but no movie, surprisingly heartfelt. Garfield's dad,
52:37
he's a bandoned as a kid. John finds him after he gets all
52:40
cute a little Italian restaurant, eats a hole as on you you know,
52:45
and then Garfield he gets abducted by this evil cat. And this the whole
52:49
plot is a little it's a little high bro. I'm not gonna lie because
52:52
it's like almost like a crime caper. I didn't know this was going to
52:54
turn into a Garfield slurp review, but basically I'm not gonna watch it go
52:58
ahead. Basically, Garfield's dad ran a gang of you know, stray cats,
53:02
and there was feel milk right, listen, listen, all right,
53:07
and the one female cat she gets nabbed after a gig goes wrong, she
53:12
goes back for some milk that she drops, she gets nabbed. Garfield's dad
53:15
kind of abandons her, so she wants revenge and she's fucking terrifying. Like
53:19
the way she's lit at times in this movie is like this is a fever
53:22
dream nightmare situation. It's like all red lighting and shit, you know.
53:29
And then so she's trying to get Garfield's dad and Garfield and Odie, which
53:32
Odie is the baller of the whole movie. Can we talk about it.
53:36
He's like on zen levels of unfuck wiittableness and he's just got a shit together.
53:42
He's like the fucking guy steering the ship the whole time. Garfield's out
53:46
there fucking around, not doing shit, arguing with his dad who's estranged,
53:52
and Odie's like, doesn't say a word, but he's like, you guys
53:55
gotta figure out. And so the big real happens when you know, the
54:04
feline, the lady, the evil, villainous whatever, she tells them.
54:07
You gotta go steal a quart of milk for every day I was in the
54:12
pound, or you're gonna fucking die. I onna fucking get my dogs to
54:16
darey you apart with all the fucks too, right, And that's how I
54:22
listen, That's how I remember it anyway, And you know it's a cool
54:25
movie because it you know, I can't remember if it's stream Works something.
54:29
I'm pretty sure its Streamworks. But they do a good job at like taking
54:34
the old animation of the Garfield cartoons in the comics and like making it into
54:38
like a three D animation, but it's still like identifiably like that Looney Tunes
54:43
era of cartoon, you know what I mean, Like the body shape of
54:46
all characters is still there. And anyway, so they go to break into
54:51
this fucking dairy farm and they meet up with the old ox or bowl from
54:57
the fucking farm that got cast out, and he's on the mountain side looking
55:00
at his beloved cow who's being led around. Is like the poorest attraction because
55:05
it's all fucking automated, and they don't get into the weird shit of like,
55:08
well, where's all the milk coming from? Where all the cows?
55:10
No, don't really talk about that, which is like probably a good idea,
55:14
you know, for a kid's movie. It's just like the reality of
55:16
the dairy industry is a little tough to tackle in the kids movie. That'd
55:22
be pretty fucking horrific. But anyway, so he's like the guy who trains
55:28
him to get in there and gives him the plan and all that shit,
55:30
and then Garfield and his dad are just not working on the same page.
55:34
So Odie ties him to a tree together, so they fucking have to talk
55:37
it out. Turns out Garth, well, it's it's a cartoon like they're
55:42
fighting. They're fighting, and then Odie's like, you know, basically forces
55:46
him to talk it out, and so they talk it out. They talk
55:49
it out, and it's revealed that Garfield's dad didn't abandon him. He was
55:53
just out there trying to get him food. He wanted to provide for his
55:57
little kitten, all right, but he couldn't get him food. And by
56:00
the time he did he came back, the box was empty in the alley.
56:04
And then he saw him with John. He was happy all this,
56:07
he was getting fed. He was like, well, maybe they'll maybe he'll
56:09
be better He's like, he's like my boy taking care of Maybe he'll be
56:13
better off. Yeah, this guy, this human can take better care of
56:15
my boy than I can't. And you know what, there's a tough pill
56:17
to swallow, but I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it,
56:21
you know. But then the reality hits of like, m it's a
56:25
setup job. The fucking evil feline cat. She's like, she's like this,
56:32
Like, no, it's kind of well, it's kind of like a
56:36
twist, kind of like The Departed almost I compare it there. Oh god,
56:39
yeah, so the feline she calls into the fucking dairy farm and is
56:45
like, yeah, there's a there's about to be a robbery. You're you're
56:47
about to get a bunch of milk stolen from you. And Oliver is in
56:52
the background. I can hear me talking about Garfield. He's like, I
56:54
know that guy that it's my icon. It's probably the funniest part of the
57:00
movie because the head security officer is like this minute Minnesotan accent. It's like,
57:08
oh, it seems like it's a good day to be a security officer.
57:13
But yeah, actually, yeah, one hundred percent. But like so
57:17
the evil feline is given the fucking given, like selling out Garfield and his
57:23
father and all the gig that she sent them on because she wants him to
57:28
get caught. But like on the other end of the line is the security
57:30
officers listening in, and it's just like because it's a fucking cat talking on
57:36
a phone, right, it kind of breaks the whole fourth wall. But
57:39
then obviously obviously the security, like the deputies are like, it's just some
57:45
kind of prank call. Somebody put their cat on the phone. It's like,
57:49
no, if it was a dogged then maybe it'd be a prank.
57:52
The cats cats mean business. I turned Scottish in the middle of that,
57:55
but I guess that makes sense with the Minnesota. But anyway, so she
57:59
gets on an app on her and it's like, I don't know what year
58:00
in the future this is, but she gets on app that just is able
58:04
to translate any animal noise into human speech. That's like that made me laugh
58:12
genuinely. But so yeah, so they there's this whole wacky, you know,
58:17
mission impossible ass sequence when they break into the dairy farm and they end
58:22
up in the wrong spot and they got to dolge all these fucking death traps
58:24
and lasers and shit, you know, and so they make it, but
58:30
the security officer was waiting for him, so they have to fight her off,
58:34
and then literally Garfield and his dad and his Jodio I'll funny en off
58:40
this lady and Garfield's dad kind of bails on him and takes the truck with
58:44
all the milk at it and leaves and it's just like so genuinely sad.
58:47
It's like, oh my god. Garfield's like, no, do mean not
58:51
again. I'm like, what movie is this? Why is Garfield going so
58:54
hard right now? Chris Pratt's like hold my beer Bill and literally so uh
59:02
fucking Garfield gets sent to the pound and I hear a familiar voice from another
59:09
cage over because it's like just this big cartoonish wall of all these cages stacked
59:14
on top of each other, and it's like, yeah, man, yo,
59:17
you you Victor's boy. Yeah, man, yeah, we used to
59:22
be in the gang together. And it's like, is that fucking Snoop Dog
59:25
in the Garfield movie? And it was like Victor's the name of Garfield's sad.
59:32
It's like, yeah, Victor always used to bail on us in jobs.
59:37
He said he would go visit his kid every Sunday. He said he
59:39
would wait in this big old oak tree and leave it, leave a talent
59:43
mark for every time he was there. And Garfield at this point is like,
59:46
fuck my dad, that guy sucks. He's a liar. He abandoned
59:51
me twice. He's a piece of shit. I call him spur balls,
59:55
aren't even real. I call him an alimony pete because he sens all right,
1:00:01
whatever that was bad Trump trying to make a nickname for him whatever.
1:00:06
But no, it's like Garfield gets rescued by John. He's all in the
1:00:08
lap of luxury again. All the fucking Hallmark things from the Garfield cartoons,
1:00:14
the chair with the giant speakers coming out of it, his little bed with
1:00:16
the blanket, all this other ship. And they go to sit down for
1:00:20
a Sunday dinner and John makes two lasagnas and he says he's got two more
1:00:23
in the oven. So I'm like, fucking baller cat. Yeah, Garfield
1:00:29
loves lasagna, truck, what do you I know? I know he loves
1:00:30
lasagna, but he eats all lasagna's. It's hard of the big one fucking
1:00:36
lasagna. Let alone doo. Yeah, little Johnny John has taken. He
1:00:39
was such a cuck in this movie. He has no actionable difference in this
1:00:44
movie. His only scenes are like him exasperatingly trying to call for help to
1:00:49
try to rescue his cats, and he's on an automated line and he gets
1:00:52
nowhere, and so obviously the only thing he's been doing is like when Garfield
1:00:55
gets back, I'm going and so we get but I asked. Garfield's about
1:01:00
to take the bidyless lasagna. All the color fades away from the background as
1:01:06
he's looking out the window to the oak tree that Snoop Dogg Cat mentioned to
1:01:10
him, Snoop dog Cat. It was Snoop Dogg. He did the voice
1:01:15
of this other cat anyway, and Garfield's all slowly like, yeah, hold
1:01:21
on, I gotta check something, Chris Pratt. Garfield's like, yeah,
1:01:23
just give me one second, I gotta check something, and he walks across
1:01:27
the street almost gets to causes two accidents. The cars just like smash into
1:01:31
each other as he's walking pass anyway, and he climbs up the tree and
1:01:36
he's like, yeah, right, he didn't he didn't want he wasn't really
1:01:37
here. But then he sees all these fucking tally marks. Right, Oh,
1:01:42
quick side note Victor. As he's driving away, he gets stopped in
1:01:46
the middle of the road by the two dogs out of the henchman of the
1:01:51
the cat lady and she's like, oh, I didn't really want you to
1:01:53
get me the milk. I just wanted to make you suffer and I wanted
1:01:57
to you know, I have a way of making the hat right, so
1:02:00
it was all just a setup and we knew that. But anyway, so
1:02:02
Garfield sees these tally marks and he's like, oh my god, he really
1:02:06
was here. And you know, Chuck, I wish I could tell you
1:02:10
what happens after that, but by the time this was happening, the four
1:02:15
year old child I was watching my lady's nephew is just bawling his eyes out,
1:02:22
and I'm like, buddy, what's wrong, and he's just he can't
1:02:25
even tell me, he's so distraught. And I'm like, hey, you
1:02:29
know, what, do you want to go? Let's go. We don't
1:02:30
have to watch this this movie Scorsese films. I'm like, yeah, I
1:02:37
thought it was gonna be Garfield. I thought it was gonna be fun and
1:02:43
traumatizing. It was fucking traumatizing, and yeah, so we left the theater
1:02:49
and I made up an ending to the story where Garfield and Odie and John
1:02:52
go rescue Garfield's dad. But I have no idea how that movie ends,
1:02:57
but God willing it doesn't end like every other Scorsese film. Well somebody getting
1:03:04
whacked, you know. But if I had to give it a rating four
1:03:07
point fivesagnas out of five quality. That's a lot of that's a lot of
1:03:14
those. Out of all the Garfield movies, this was one of them.
1:03:19
I mean, Jesus, all right, So when we'll see the real question,
1:03:21
how was Chris pres Garfield? Oh his Mario was better. Ah,
1:03:29
I knew it. I knew it. But I'm gonna say I think it
1:03:35
was the writing. There was all this really cheesy shit like Garfield breaking the
1:03:37
fourth wall, Garfield doing these stupid dances and Garfield having a fight with his
1:03:44
dad, and uh yeah, no, very mediocre movie, but for Garfield
1:03:50
movie, probably the best one there's been. Sorry, Bill Murray, Sorry,
1:03:57
Oh my god, So I got him home. He just did a
1:04:00
slurp. You just did a slur for fucking guard. But that's fucking awesome.
1:04:02
Call it a call it a micro slurp. Micro slurp. And do
1:04:09
I think my abrupt ending to the viewing experience hampered my experience at all?
1:04:15
No? I do not. I sat through about i'd say five to sixth
1:04:18
of the movie. I was at the very end of the movie, and
1:04:25
you know what, you can see what's happened by the way, you know
1:04:28
what I mean right, So, all in all, did I like the
1:04:33
movie? Did the We'll call him Tolka? Did tolk I like the movie?
1:04:40
Nephew? Uh no, he hated it. He was he was there
1:04:45
for the popcorn and for the ICs and couldn't give a shit about the movie.
1:04:49
I don't know what got him so upset. We were towards the back
1:04:54
of the theater, so maybe it was really loud. Like I said,
1:04:56
there was some visually jarring things. There were some really flashy things happening,
1:05:00
but also there were some really heavy themes, like the kid getting abandoned by
1:05:03
his father. So I don't know. Maybe it was just a lot emotionally
1:05:08
for this four year old child. But that being said, will he remember
1:05:14
it? Probably not. Will his mom remember him coming back being in tears?
1:05:18
Probably? So maybe that's the last time I'd get to take this kid
1:05:21
to the movie. I explained what happened. What a phenomenal sword movie.
1:05:27
Uh yeah, Like I said, four point five was on is out of
1:05:30
five? Where's the other point five that I was on? You I ate
1:05:31
this shit before Garfield could get to it. Oh my god, that was
1:05:40
splendid. I don't know how to follow that. You know what that like.
1:05:45
Literally, it's sound like a fucking scort. City was like, what
1:05:47
the fuck are we talking about here? It was intense bro at one point.
1:05:54
At one point, Garfield and Odie were dangled from their feet by ropes
1:05:59
from the top of this fucking roof of this building, this abandoned mall,
1:06:02
and I was like, what is about to happen in this movie? I
1:06:05
