Oh, but they also have honey buns, Sweet pea, Wink wink Bean. I don't think they represent all of them. [00:00:58] Speaker C: No. Can you get really filthy ones of these from the stuff? [00:01:02] Speaker B: Yeah, they make those. They do, yeah. [00:01:05] Speaker A: You could play a game with it and, like, pull them out and be like, knob me off. And then you have to do that. [00:01:14] Speaker C: Just one with broth written on it. Broth. [00:01:17] Speaker A: Spray your broth. Spray the broth. [00:01:23] Speaker C: The broth of comedy. [00:01:25] Speaker A: Hey, you know, I thought I had an epiphany. So I was watching, like, an Instagram reel. I rarely ever look at Instagram, but I don't know. I had it open for some reason, and this thing came. Did you see this? It was John Hughes. They had John Hughes going to all the sets of his different movies. It was Must be AI, obviously, because. [00:01:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:01:42] Speaker A: And he was taking a selfie. Did you see that one? [00:01:44] Speaker C: I'm saying it. Yeah. [00:01:45] Speaker A: And he would go to all the different movies, like Uncle Buck, Sixteen Candles, Breakfast Club, and he'd be with the cast. Right. First of all, how the fuck do they do that? Some of the people were actually the people. Right. But some of them, like the giant. It wasn't John Candy. It was like a John Candy. Look alike. Whatever. [00:02:05] Speaker B: Anyway, I don't. I don't get Instagram on my flip phone over here. [00:02:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:08] Speaker A: So you really are using that? [00:02:09] Speaker B: I'm. Yeah. I'm going for it. [00:02:10] Speaker A: Dude, that looks like a jitterbug. [00:02:12] Speaker B: What is a jitterbug? [00:02:13] Speaker A: A jitterbug is a flip phone for the elderly. [00:02:16] Speaker B: Oh, it definitely is. Because look how big the numbers are. That is a jitterbug. It's huge. [00:02:20] Speaker C: I've fallen and I can't get up. [00:02:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Anyway, John Hughes went to the. You know, through the movies, and then he went to Some Kind of Wonderful. You ever see that movie Some Kind of Wonderful? Starring Mary Stuart Masterson and Leah Thompson and that guy right there, Eric Stoltz. Doesn't he look like Eric Stoltz? I'll show you the picture later. [00:02:45] Speaker B: I don't know who this is. I can't look it up. [00:02:47] Speaker A: You don't know who Eric Stoltz is? No one's ever said. [00:02:49] Speaker B: I mean, maybe if I saw the face. [00:02:51] Speaker C: Pulp Fiction. [00:02:52] Speaker B: What is he. [00:02:52] Speaker A: No, he wasn't that. [00:02:53] Speaker C: Yes. [00:02:55] Speaker A: He wasn't in Pulp Fiction, was he? Eric Stoltz. [00:03:00] Speaker C: Where does John Travolta go when. [00:03:02] Speaker A: Oh, you're right. [00:03:02] Speaker C: Uma Thurman. [00:03:03] Speaker A: He's the drug dealer, right? [00:03:05] Speaker B: Oh, that guy. You think I look like that guy? [00:03:07] Speaker C: Yeah, basically the bathroom. He was also Rocky and Mask, so that's. [00:03:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I knew that would come up. You don't look like. I just thought Mask. [00:03:15] Speaker B: Wait, Jim Carrey's mask? [00:03:17] Speaker A: No. [00:03:18] Speaker B: Okay. [00:03:20] Speaker C: Wasn't there confusion with Staltz and Michael J. Fox when they were both young? They were like. They're very similar as well. [00:03:28] Speaker A: Fox isn't a ginger. [00:03:29] Speaker C: Yeah, he is. [00:03:30] Speaker A: He is not. [00:03:32] Speaker C: He is. [00:03:34] Speaker A: I wouldn't call him a ginger. Would you call Michael J. [00:03:35] Speaker B: 5? No. He's got brown hair. [00:03:37] Speaker C: He. [00:03:37] Speaker A: He's the authority on ginger. Because he is a ginger. [00:03:40] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:03:40] Speaker B: Right. [00:03:41] Speaker C: It used to be a thing that carrying Stolts and Michael J. Were very similar. [00:03:47] Speaker A: No, I don't think so. [00:03:48] Speaker B: But think about in Teen Wolf, he doesn't grow a bunch of red hair. [00:03:54] Speaker A: Right, Right. It's brown. [00:03:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:03:55] Speaker C: God, that film was. But it only came. Got re. Released Teen Wolf. No, it got released in England because everyone went bananas for Back to the Future. [00:04:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:04:08] Speaker C: And obviously someone was like, oh, we can capitalize on this. Everyone wants to know who this kid is. Let's bring this piece of shit out that we had refused to bring out originally. [00:04:19] Speaker A: That movie came out before Back to the Future. Yeah. [00:04:21] Speaker C: Yeah. But in England, it came close. Like I say, it was never capitalize on, like. [00:04:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then I thought more about it and I thought, well, he. He looks like Eric Stoltz. If Eric Stoltz and Nick Offerman had a child, it would be Christian. Both very handsome men. Right. I'm just trying to create a visual for the listeners. [00:04:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Who are out there. Oh, yeah. [00:04:48] Speaker A: That are in love with you. [00:04:50] Speaker B: Yeah. What's going on with that? [00:04:51] Speaker A: I was going to ask him. Has anyone reached out? [00:04:54] Speaker B: No, my line's been dry. Yeah. [00:04:58] Speaker A: All right. Did you talk it over with your missus and tell her that there are. [00:05:00] Speaker B: No listeners out there. I'm not letting her know. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Okay. [00:05:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm keeping that one close to the vest. [00:05:05] Speaker A: She doesn't listen to this program. [00:05:07] Speaker B: I think she does sometimes. [00:05:08] Speaker A: She does. Yeah. [00:05:09] Speaker B: So she might already know. [00:05:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, listen, you know, I bumped into. I just bumped into someone this morning in the street who stopped me and said, I've been listening to your podcast. There are people listening to this podcast. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Who was it? [00:05:24] Speaker A: Some woman in the neighborhood. [00:05:26] Speaker B: What? [00:05:27] Speaker C: Oh, some woman. [00:05:28] Speaker B: Some woman in the neighborhood. [00:05:29] Speaker A: No, I know who she is. But you don't. [00:05:30] Speaker B: But. Right, yeah, so. And plus, you don't want to blow up her spot on the podcast. Right. [00:05:35] Speaker A: Well, I'll give her a shout out. Melissa Richardson, thank you for listening. We'll acknowledge all our listeners like it's a pledge drive. [00:05:43] Speaker B: Speaking of the others. [00:05:44] Speaker C: No, because we have to. In any way we would know is we have to pay extra for our subscription or to get those metrics. [00:05:52] Speaker B: We just hear word of mouth. I think we might have one new listener after this episode. [00:05:58] Speaker A: Yeah, Danny Callis. [00:05:59] Speaker B: Maybe Danny callis, but also Mr. Nolan Rafferty. [00:06:02] Speaker A: Oh, Nolan's listening. [00:06:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, he asked me today if he could stop by. I said, actually, I'll be there recording a podcast. [00:06:08] Speaker A: Have him in. [00:06:09] Speaker B: He doesn't live here anymore. [00:06:10] Speaker A: I know, but if he's here. [00:06:11] Speaker B: You said no. He was texting me, so I said, you should go to listen. He said, I will. [00:06:16] Speaker C: Great. So now I. Oh, great. I can say lots of offensive things about the Irish. [00:06:21] Speaker A: Maybe we could get him as a sponsor. Galway Bay. [00:06:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:24] Speaker A: This show is brought to you by the Galway Bay over there on Diversity near the lake. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Yep. You like Guinness and pool? [00:06:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:32] Speaker B: Go to Galway Bay. [00:06:33] Speaker A: Yep. You like video games? Old timey video games. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Yep. And do you like every other Wednesday watching live dueling pianos by Christian and Christian. [00:06:42] Speaker C: Yeah. Cry yourself to sleep. Go away, Bay. [00:06:46] Speaker B: They got a couch for that. They do? [00:06:48] Speaker A: Yep. It's very comfortable on a couch. Hey, so what Callus is in here? Well, it was good to see Danny Callis. I don't know what your business was. [00:06:55] Speaker C: With him, but I gotta build a stage. [00:06:57] Speaker A: That's what I figured. Yeah. You're gonna do it? [00:06:59] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Build it like the old time stages used to build. [00:07:02] Speaker C: You know me. [00:07:03] Speaker A: So we have a garage full of old stages. [00:07:05] Speaker C: I gave them all away to this place over on Lincoln that I don't think you ever saw. There was this really cool place on Lincoln where they all lived it was like hobbit town. So there was this massive, huge communal space, and there are all these little rooms off to the side. And at any given time, there was maybe five or six people living there, but they shared this massive communal space. [00:07:31] Speaker B: I think I know what you're talking about. [00:07:32] Speaker C: It was called Lincoln Loft is what they call it. [00:07:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:07:35] Speaker C: And homeless encampment. No, no, no. It was just people living in these, like, little rooms. And then they had a massive common space with a little bar. And then they built themselves theater. [00:07:46] Speaker B: They put plays on and stuff. [00:07:47] Speaker C: And they put plays on. And I built, like, when they were doing it, they hadn't got a stage. And I said, I've got, like, maybe 30 square feet of stage sitting in my house from the Old Lodge. You can have it. And so I took it all over to them. [00:08:04] Speaker B: That's wild. Yeah. My first job in Chicago in 2009 was at the North Face in the John Hancock building, and somebody I work with lived there, and I went to go see him do a play. [00:08:12] Speaker C: Who was it? [00:08:13] Speaker B: I don't remember his name. Right. Curly hair. [00:08:16] Speaker C: He was doing the play. He wasn't living. [00:08:18] Speaker B: I think he would. He might have been living there, too. [00:08:20] Speaker C: Because I knew most of the people who lived there. [00:08:22] Speaker B: Did you know a guy with red hair? [00:08:24] Speaker C: No. [00:08:25] Speaker A: This is like a commune. [00:08:27] Speaker B: Maybe he didn't live there. [00:08:28] Speaker A: Like an artist commune, if you want. [00:08:30] Speaker C: To call it that. I mean, it was. So there's a consignment shop over there. [00:08:34] Speaker B: Yep. [00:08:35] Speaker C: And then there was a bar next to it. And then he went in this door, and there was three floors, all with a huge space. And. Yeah, it was. Yeah, and it was like one of those ones where comedians live together and one leaves and then another roommate just kind of slides in. It's kind of a bummer. They built this amazing, like, theater space. [00:08:58] Speaker B: It was really cool. [00:08:59] Speaker A: Where was it? What's the event? [00:09:00] Speaker C: It was like, Lincoln and diversity. [00:09:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like, by Delilah's over there. [00:09:04] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. And they got shut down because the who lived above them had, like, a pan fire or something in their kitchen. And the. The. The. The fire brigade come out. They said they put the fire out, but then they had to come into their space for some reason, and the fire brigade were like, whoa. Yeah, the shit is going on here. [00:09:33] Speaker A: Shut it down. [00:09:33] Speaker C: And they just shut it down. [00:09:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:35] Speaker B: It's too bad because, yeah, it was really cool. Yeah, they did. They had. They made themselves a little bar. I mean, no way. They had a liquor license, but that, you know, sell Cheap beer or whatever. [00:09:43] Speaker C: You know all those black chairs? [00:09:46] Speaker B: Which ones? [00:09:46] Speaker C: At the front of ours. [00:09:48] Speaker A: The stools. [00:09:48] Speaker B: The stools in the window. [00:09:49] Speaker C: Bar stools. [00:09:50] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:09:50] Speaker C: They're from there. [00:09:51] Speaker B: No way. [00:09:51] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:52] Speaker B: That's so wild. That's great. [00:09:54] Speaker C: I got a 10 foot wide projector screen in the basement. Like motorized? Yeah, that's from there. [00:10:01] Speaker A: So did you recoup the stages when you grabbed this? [00:10:05] Speaker C: No, because it. I think they used mine for a couple of years and then they kind of upgraded or something. But he said they'd use the wood and sort of repurposed the wood. But the. When I. When they got kicked out, I went over there and pulled a load of stuff at their behest and it was a. Like a more built in stage. But yeah, it was amazing what they did. [00:10:27] Speaker B: It was real. Yeah, it was pretty impressive. [00:10:29] Speaker A: I can't believe I missed that. Well, I'm not surprised I missed it. I was in a coma for 20 years. Okay, I want to. Since we were talking about sponsors, I have some news about our sponsor. [00:10:43] Speaker B: Which one? [00:10:44] Speaker A: The game construction. [00:10:45] Speaker B: Okay. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Oh, I've had to suspend their sponsorship. [00:10:49] Speaker B: Oh boy. [00:10:49] Speaker A: I've had to take action and they're no longer a sponsor right now. I'm not saying it's pulled completely, but I'm suspending them. [00:10:56] Speaker B: What? What happened? [00:10:56] Speaker A: Giving them any more free advertising? Well, for one. [00:10:58] Speaker B: Let me. Let me be. [00:11:00] Speaker A: Let me be transparent. [00:11:01] Speaker C: Botched backsplash. [00:11:03] Speaker A: No, it's not. Nothing to do with their work or any work done for me. Although one of their job sites, I did drive by over on school in Lakeview and debris was everywhere. All of the street. I had to drive around their debris. But that's not. That's not why I pulled their sponsorship. I was supposed to have plans with Begin over the weekend. Him and his wife and me and my wife, we had plans. We'd made these plans to go to the movies. We're going to see Melania. [00:11:29] Speaker B: Melania. Oh, only you. [00:11:32] Speaker A: I want to see it. [00:11:33] Speaker B: I didn't even realize that was in theaters. [00:11:34] Speaker A: Oh yeah, it's over the city of Amazon. [00:11:37] Speaker C: No. [00:11:38] Speaker A: Well, it is, but will be, you. [00:11:39] Speaker B: Know, so we'll watch it on the. [00:11:40] Speaker A: Big screen and we're going to go to the diner and have something to eat beforehand. And they hemmed and hawed and didn't return our text the day of the thing and then come 8:00 clock said, well, we're in our PJs. [00:11:52] Speaker B: Oh, come on, that's. I don't blame you. [00:11:55] Speaker A: We're not doing business with them anymore. And listen, I'll be transparent. He hasn't given us anything. All right. For all this free advertising. That's true. [00:12:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:12:03] Speaker A: I'm not getting anything. I got sweatshirt. He gave me a couple sweatshirts. Right. And it's a nice sweatshirt I'm wearing here. But, you know, listen, no more free advertising. [00:12:13] Speaker B: No. [00:12:14] Speaker A: You know, you don't even show up for. [00:12:15] Speaker B: Especially if only one out of three of us got a sweatshirt. [00:12:18] Speaker A: Right. You know, you want to. You want to be like El Bagalero, our other sponsor. Give us some free. [00:12:24] Speaker B: Throwing in some. [00:12:25] Speaker A: Some free. [00:12:26] Speaker B: Phenomenal bagels. [00:12:27] Speaker A: Phenomenal bagels. And we'll give you. You know, we'll. [00:12:31] Speaker C: The missus did. Ate us. There was no. [00:12:33] Speaker B: There was no jalapenos in it. [00:12:34] Speaker C: No jalapenos. She. She ate the Everything. [00:12:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:37] Speaker C: Then she ate half of the. Whatever the other one was. [00:12:40] Speaker B: I think that one was just a regular. [00:12:43] Speaker A: All right. [00:12:43] Speaker C: Yeah. But then she turned her nose up at it because it had been three days, so I had to finish the other half. [00:12:47] Speaker A: You ate it, though? [00:12:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:12:49] Speaker A: You're not toasted. [00:12:50] Speaker B: It's fine. I suspect that the. So the whole debate is, did I take. Did I successfully take home the jalapeno bagel, which was the one I wanted to take on, but I think I did. I just think you did a lot. A lot. Oh, did you ended up with it? [00:13:04] Speaker A: Listen, I had it the whole time. I didn't want to. I had it on my person when you were looking for it, like, this is a jalapeno. I wanted it. [00:13:13] Speaker B: You're lying. [00:13:14] Speaker A: I'm not. I'm not. [00:13:16] Speaker B: Swear to God. [00:13:16] Speaker A: And I ate it in the car on the way home from this place. My second bagel of the day, and. [00:13:21] Speaker B: I'm texting you guys. [00:13:23] Speaker A: Well, I knew you wanted it, but I also wanted it. And, you know, you were thumbing around the bag. [00:13:28] Speaker B: Right, Right. Well, yeah, I did say I didn't want to touch them all. Yeah. You know, so I was aware of that. [00:13:33] Speaker A: That was me. [00:13:34] Speaker B: That's great. [00:13:36] Speaker A: Did you hear from Al Bagalaro? [00:13:38] Speaker C: No. [00:13:38] Speaker A: No. They didn't stop by. [00:13:39] Speaker C: Nope. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Said he might stop by. [00:13:42] Speaker B: You know, we do serve IRU sandwiches here. That is something we should plug more often. They've been phenomenal. It's a Costa Rican restaurant down the street. I don't get it. I don't get the hand signal. [00:13:59] Speaker A: You don't? [00:14:00] Speaker B: Oh, what, we don't get any money out of this? Yeah, well, okay, fine, then screw them. But they would give food yeah, they sell sandwiches. [00:14:08] Speaker C: Actually, no, they do give food to the. [00:14:10] Speaker B: To the. To the staff. I negotiated that into. They set up a little table here, and they'll bring prepared sandwiches and sell that. Sell them to hungry bar patrons. And my. My theory is people that are hungry won't buy another cocktail, but if you have something to eat, you're more likely to drink more. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:27] Speaker B: And we make a little bit more money, and then they get to sell their sandwiches. And I negotiated into the contract that the staff also gets free sandwiches. [00:14:34] Speaker C: Good move. See, I don't get one, though, because. [00:14:38] Speaker B: You should get one. [00:14:38] Speaker C: No, Claire told me he thinks I'm a bell end. [00:14:41] Speaker B: What is that? What is that? [00:14:43] Speaker C: He thinks I'm a twat, apparently. [00:14:45] Speaker B: There's no way that's true. I don't think that's true. [00:14:50] Speaker C: I think I walked in, they all had a fucking nice meaty sandwich in their house. [00:14:54] Speaker B: Yeah, they're delicious. [00:14:55] Speaker C: And I said, where's mine? And she said, he thinks you're a twat. [00:15:00] Speaker A: The owner of the restaurant. [00:15:01] Speaker B: She's got to be messing with you. [00:15:02] Speaker A: She's messing with you. [00:15:04] Speaker B: He's not the owner. He's the kid that the owner sends over. [00:15:06] Speaker C: But I've been nothing but good. [00:15:07] Speaker B: Yeah, right. And he's a really nice kid. [00:15:09] Speaker C: I've been giving him the bags of crisps. [00:15:11] Speaker B: Yeah, right. I seriously doubt that's true. I think she's pulling your leg. [00:15:14] Speaker C: I'm trying to encourage him to do it. A crisps and sandwich thing? [00:15:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:20] Speaker C: Because once that salt hits their gob, sure. We get another. We get another exact. [00:15:24] Speaker B: Right. Yeah, yeah. [00:15:25] Speaker A: You got to sell. You know, when I was looking for a bowl for these candy hearts, I couldn't find one. And I looked in that main room, I was like, I wonder if they ever put out any, like, nuts and snacks. You should put little dishes of nuts, mixed nuts. [00:15:39] Speaker C: I mean, you're in a whole health department. [00:15:41] Speaker A: Oh, come on. You can do that, can't you? Can't serve nuts in a dish for free. [00:15:45] Speaker C: Well, no, you can. Nuts, we can. And then you can walk in the following morning and find rats and mice everywhere. [00:15:53] Speaker B: Well, Mark, let me ask you, if you were to have a sandwich from your razu, you don't want one anymore? If you were to have one, would you rather chicken, steak, or vegetable? [00:16:04] Speaker C: I don't care. Steak. [00:16:05] Speaker A: He likes to be steak. [00:16:07] Speaker B: The steak is the best one. [00:16:08] Speaker A: Yeah. So why didn't you hit Jewel today and get the dog, you're so hungry? [00:16:12] Speaker C: Because I had to meet Danny here at 11 too early. So I figured 11 till 11:30. I'll be showing him stuff. Then I'm gonna go down to. What's it? [00:16:24] Speaker A: Red Hot Ranch. [00:16:25] Speaker C: Red Hot Ranch. Then I'll be back here in time for this. [00:16:29] Speaker B: We're gonna get a full polish over there. That's been on my list lately. I want to get. I want to try their full polish. [00:16:35] Speaker C: I do flip to the burger occasionally just because the hot dog kick can get a little boring. Someone told me to have the fried shrimp, but. Yep, that's a pricey price. [00:16:45] Speaker B: It's like $14 for the bag of shrimp. [00:16:48] Speaker A: Well, it must just kill you, even the hot dog, to pay whatever they char that there because you're used to paying a dollar. [00:16:54] Speaker C: It didn't use to, but I noticed it's crept up now. And now with the tip, I'm dropping eight. [00:16:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:00] Speaker C: I feel like I was dropping five when we first opened here. [00:17:03] Speaker A: A dog and fries. [00:17:04] Speaker C: Dog and fries and a tip. [00:17:06] Speaker A: Five all in. Yeah, but that's 1999. [00:17:10] Speaker B: Speaking of which, when I was rolling up today, there are two gentlemen leaving what used to be Turbo Taco next door. They were locking up and so I stopped and I chatted with them and I said, do you guys know what is going to be coming in here? And when? They didn't know, but they turned me on to a good taco place around the corner called Rosalitas. They swore by it. [00:17:28] Speaker A: Okay. See if we can get them as a sponsor. [00:17:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I think it's a scam where they just. They. It's like a tax dodge. And you can. He's like. It's like with the place opposite, like spinning it out as long as humanly possible to actually open it. Because then you. [00:17:44] Speaker A: Yeah, tax dodge. Yeah, yeah. Tax shelter, money laundering. [00:17:48] Speaker C: Would you say you cannot take that friggin long to build a taco? [00:17:52] Speaker A: I wouldn't think. [00:17:53] Speaker B: I used to love that place. I would get burritos every time I work. [00:17:56] Speaker C: Well, it's a loss. [00:17:58] Speaker A: But are you guys canvassing? But you guys going in this neighborhood and be like, hey, we're over at the lodge. You know, that's comedy club next door. Here's some comps. [00:18:05] Speaker C: Kelsey's doing it now, my behest. [00:18:08] Speaker A: Yeah. And then get free food or whatever. [00:18:10] Speaker B: I do that a lot. Just like going to the restaurants that I like around here. Like chef special and stuff like that. There's. There's certain places that are my favorite, so I've seen the staff a million times, so I'll remember. I'll bring in a couple like, hey, these are some two for one passes. Come by on a Friday or Saturday. [00:18:22] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we're giving actual ticks. [00:18:25] Speaker A: Comps. Comps. [00:18:26] Speaker C: Yeah, Full comps. [00:18:28] Speaker A: No comps for that. Beth Stelling. That's a hot show. I received something in the email that I have tickets. Thank you. Thank you. [00:18:36] Speaker B: I'll be working that night. I'll be behind. Yep. I think I'm covering Jenna or something. [00:18:40] Speaker A: I want to pay for them. Obviously. I'm not looking for a computer. I don't think you were looking to give me a comp either. I'm going to pay for the 20 minutes. When are we going to get some? [00:18:54] Speaker B: I know a legitimate cloud in here. [00:18:56] Speaker A: We're in here every week. We need a clock. Let's hang some posters in here. [00:18:59] Speaker B: Hey, look, I've got your certificate up here. [00:19:01] Speaker A: Your certificate looks awesome. Thank you. [00:19:03] Speaker C: Someone took the Jenny Hagel down, by the way. [00:19:06] Speaker A: I like that Jenny Hagel thing. [00:19:08] Speaker B: Maybe it fell. [00:19:09] Speaker A: You need like, shotch keys. We should put the. The lodge hat in here too. [00:19:14] Speaker C: Oh, I could put up some of the artwork I have in the basement. Although I want to start selling that. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Yeah. And then like at the Chicago theater, we can have all our guests sign the wall. Yeah, that'd be cool, right? What's behind these curtains? [00:19:26] Speaker B: Makeup names. Yeah. [00:19:28] Speaker C: What are soundproofing and a TV behind you. [00:19:32] Speaker A: There's a TV in here? [00:19:33] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:19:33] Speaker B: We could be watching movies. [00:19:35] Speaker A: Oh, you could have like a important. [00:19:37] Speaker C: Meeting I don't even want to talk about. [00:19:39] Speaker B: We should have a live. We could watch our specials and review them live on that TV. [00:19:44] Speaker C: I don't want to talk about that TV. [00:19:46] Speaker B: This TV's old. It's this. That's the first flat screen they ever made. [00:19:52] Speaker A: Tube in it. What do you call the tube that. [00:19:56] Speaker B: Sizzles like a glass of Pepsi. [00:19:57] Speaker A: Now I got to know why you're upset about that tv. No, no. I have diarrhea. Oh, right now. [00:20:05] Speaker B: Really? [00:20:06] Speaker C: Yep. [00:20:06] Speaker B: I didn't. How can you ongoing. [00:20:09] Speaker A: It's not ongoing. I just. I woke up with it. [00:20:11] Speaker B: But isn't it just then and done? [00:20:13] Speaker A: No. Well, I went a couple diarrheas. No, I ate a whole Jack's pizza last night while watching. [00:20:19] Speaker B: And that'll do it to you. [00:20:20] Speaker A: Today's comedian, Marcelo Hernandez. How do you say it? Hernandez or Hernandez? [00:20:25] Speaker B: I thought it was Hernandez. [00:20:27] Speaker A: Hernandez. Hernandez. I think it's Hernandez. [00:20:30] Speaker B: Hernandez. [00:20:30] Speaker A: Hernandez. [00:20:32] Speaker C: They Nandez. Probably they in 2025. [00:20:36] Speaker A: Oh, they Nandez. [00:20:38] Speaker C: Marcelo Hernandez. [00:20:39] Speaker A: They hand. They Hernandez. I ate a whole Jack's Pizza. I woke up and I had terrible diarrhea. [00:20:46] Speaker B: What was on the pizza? [00:20:47] Speaker A: Just cheese, but I ate the whole thing. [00:20:49] Speaker B: Is it. Those are small. [00:20:50] Speaker A: I think so, too. [00:20:51] Speaker B: That's like two slices of regular pizza. [00:20:53] Speaker A: You would eat a whole frozen pizza 100% by yourself. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Not a DiGiorno. Those are too big. [00:20:57] Speaker A: Yeah, not a DiGiorno, but a Jax or a Roma. [00:21:00] Speaker B: One of those little guys. Yeah, 100%. [00:21:02] Speaker A: They're so light. [00:21:03] Speaker B: You're not gonna. What, are you gonna save some of it? [00:21:05] Speaker A: Yeah, for later. [00:21:06] Speaker B: You're gonna put it in a Tupperware? I don't think so. [00:21:09] Speaker A: Well, one right now. [00:21:10] Speaker C: You could shit through the eye of a needle. [00:21:12] Speaker A: Yep. I'm having what the viz calls an anal lanch. You heard of that? [00:21:19] Speaker B: Did you look that up right there? [00:21:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I looked up the viz today. [00:21:22] Speaker C: An analynch. [00:21:23] Speaker A: And I didn't know if it was analynch or an analynch. Yeah, Analanche. Like an avalanche, but from the anus. [00:21:30] Speaker C: Yep. [00:21:30] Speaker A: Yep. [00:21:30] Speaker B: It's clever. [00:21:31] Speaker A: Another one I found the viz this morning was if you ever go to a music festival and that the place where they keep all the toilets and everything like that, The. The Porta Potties. They call those the Brown Lands. [00:21:42] Speaker B: The Brown Land. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Like I'm headed off to the Brown Lands. I'll be back. You want anything? [00:21:47] Speaker B: I don't think anybody wants anything from the Brown Land. [00:21:49] Speaker C: Yeah, I was gonna say go have a. And then carry my hot dog back for me. [00:21:55] Speaker A: From the Brown Lands. So I know we don't do the viz anymore, and you talked about it last week. Well, maybe we should spice it up with the viz. Maybe we just have a viz word of the day. Right. Instead of going through it and seeing Christian and I know these words and we don't know them. [00:22:11] Speaker B: Right. That's why the game never worked. Yeah. [00:22:13] Speaker A: Because it's kind of hard. But you could give us the viz word of the day. [00:22:18] Speaker C: All right, I'll do it next time. [00:22:20] Speaker A: Oh, I gave you today's. I did. Today's anal lanch. All right, what else? Anything else? [00:22:28] Speaker B: No, I don't think so. [00:22:29] Speaker C: I thought I had something, but now I've forgotten it. [00:22:31] Speaker B: This time of year, it just feels like nothing really happens, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I ride a bike so I'm less mobile. You know, when it's snowing and when it's negative temperature. [00:22:41] Speaker A: What a winner. What a winner this has been. [00:22:43] Speaker B: It's been. Okay. People are so. So easily forget how. How nice it was throughout December. [00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:22:50] Speaker B: We had it Was. It got bad for a little bit. It got bad recently again. You know, it's going to. But I think all in all, we've got. It's been pretty good. We've only had a ball kicker. [00:23:00] Speaker C: Cold. [00:23:00] Speaker A: Lots of snow snowing on the way in here again. [00:23:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, that. I did get caught in that. Coming from rice and bread. [00:23:06] Speaker C: Yeah. It didn't. It don't. Weather don't normally get to me, but this year. [00:23:10] Speaker B: Right. [00:23:11] Speaker C: It's getting enough. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Yeah, it's getting to me too. [00:23:13] Speaker C: I think could have. Could be partly the. The hellscape we're living in, though. [00:23:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:17] Speaker C: That with the weather. [00:23:20] Speaker B: Yeah. There's no relief. [00:23:21] Speaker A: Well, we have some. [00:23:22] Speaker B: Actually, that's. That's part of the reason I got rid of the. The old smartphone and switched over to the flip phone. [00:23:26] Speaker A: So to get away from the hellscape. The doom scroll. [00:23:28] Speaker B: Yeah. I was slowly pruning Instagram and all that from my phone as it was. But then finally I decided to take the leap. I said, you know what? I'm gonna go for a week from Sunday to Sunday. I'm gonna see. You know, there was a time in my life when I didn't have a smartphone. I can easily go back to that time. I don't like being so connected to it. [00:23:45] Speaker A: So how has it been? [00:23:46] Speaker B: It's been a pain in the ass. [00:23:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:48] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like T9. It takes forever. But then you're very selective without the texting. Yeah. You know, you hit. If you want to. You know, takes forever to text. G I V e. You do 444-44-8888. You know, and then you make a mistake and it takes forever to back up. So then you're. Yeah. You don't text that much. [00:24:08] Speaker A: It's just very. You're very curt with your text. [00:24:12] Speaker B: Right. [00:24:13] Speaker A: Probably sound mean or like. [00:24:15] Speaker B: I try not to. I try to. Well, I. Because I'm aware of that. So I try to be very polite with my texts to overcome that. You know what I mean? Try to use a lot of hey, buddies. [00:24:22] Speaker A: Yeah, please. [00:24:23] Speaker B: Thank yous. [00:24:25] Speaker A: So do you find that with, you know, with the decreased text functioning, you're calling people more on the phone and having. That's good. Having phone conversations. [00:24:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:33] Speaker A: Well, I. But talking on the phone. [00:24:35] Speaker B: Not the people I call, though, because I really only talk to six people, you know, my whole life, you know. [00:24:40] Speaker C: So maybe it's just me they hate. I was thinking, yeah, people never pick the phone when they hate him. Yeah. But then I said, well, maybe I hate it. [00:24:49] Speaker B: They don't. [00:24:49] Speaker C: Maybe I'm the factor. [00:24:50] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe because people pick up for him. Well, that's good. I wanted to call people more. [00:24:57] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. It is nice because, you know, you just get to have a short little conversation. You get it out of the way and you move on with your life. [00:25:02] Speaker A: We've kind of lost that muscle, though. I feel like the phone conversation, I. [00:25:05] Speaker C: Feel like there is it. There is a point. Like what I do is I play it forward in my head or I'm like, okay, I'm going to call this person, I'm going to tell them this. Maybe there's going to be a discussion, a bit of backwards and forwards. All right, that's a phone call if I know. I wank on about this all the time. Texting is invented for. I'm five minutes away. See you. Surely that's what it's for, right? [00:25:28] Speaker B: It's for a short message. [00:25:29] Speaker C: But now it's like. Just fucking like. [00:25:32] Speaker B: Yeah, you know what? And that's the other thing too, that this has created is, you know, I'll think of something and I'll think, oh, I really want to tell this one person this thing, but it's going to take so long to text them. So now I'm just going to wait until the next time I see them because if it's important enough, I'll remember to tell them then. And then we have something to talk about. [00:25:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:50] Speaker B: You know? Yeah, we don't need to be updated on every little thing, you know? [00:25:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:55] Speaker B: I saw a show and it made me think of you. Wait till the next time you see that person. I don't know about that. It means more. [00:25:59] Speaker A: Yeah. So are you going to stick with this? Keeping this. [00:26:02] Speaker B: The experiment is Sunday to Sunday and what is it, Wednesday? So halfway through. But yeah, I think I'm gonna go as far as I can and I think at some point it's just gonna become normal again for me. [00:26:12] Speaker A: So you're thinking about this long term. [00:26:14] Speaker B: Yeah, the only down thing that I need. So I do. I have my other one right here because I can't play. Well, here's the other thing. I can't play Spotify when I'm riding on my bike with my Bluetooth speaker. But I want to get rid of Spotify anyway and move over to, like, actually playing songs from my old ipod, you know, that I bought that I purchased myself. And the money's going to the artist. [00:26:34] Speaker A: Or get a Discman. [00:26:36] Speaker B: Yeah. It's slowly, little by little, no joke, like. Yeah, little things like that you can. Like, there's solutions. You don't need to have the smartphone, you know, like, everything. I can figure out a different way to do it. One at a time. [00:26:47] Speaker C: Yeah, I struggle a bit because I need the ticketing app. [00:26:50] Speaker B: Right. [00:26:51] Speaker C: And the thermostats for this place. [00:26:56] Speaker B: Well, here's the thing. It still acts like a little computer. You switch the SIM card over to your flip phone, but you don't want. [00:27:02] Speaker A: To be doing that. [00:27:03] Speaker B: All right, I did it. That's. That's how this works. [00:27:05] Speaker A: No, but you don't want to keep. [00:27:06] Speaker B: You don't want. But if you had to, you can. You can fire up your phone and, you know, look at Eventbrite. You know, it just acts like a small laptop. [00:27:14] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Hey, look at this. This candy heart. Look what it says. My head. [00:27:21] Speaker B: What do you think it means? [00:27:22] Speaker A: Like, give me head. [00:27:24] Speaker B: What? [00:27:25] Speaker C: This is my hero. [00:27:27] Speaker A: No, it doesn't. It's my head. [00:27:29] Speaker B: I think I gave you the wrong glasses. [00:27:30] Speaker C: It says my hero. It might say my nerd, but I'm pretty sure it's hero. [00:27:37] Speaker A: My head. All right, well, the only other thing I'm thinking about this week, you're wearing. [00:27:44] Speaker B: The number one glasses I gave you. I gave you the. The one millimeter. These are the two millimeter over here. [00:27:50] Speaker A: Or I can manage for now. But only other thing I'm thinking about this week. Super Bowl. Super bowl ramped up. Do any of you guys want to host a Super bowl party? [00:28:00] Speaker B: I was thinking about having people over. [00:28:02] Speaker A: Yeah, you have my whole family over. [00:28:03] Speaker B: Sure. Come on over some Jack's pizzas. We'll have a good time. [00:28:06] Speaker A: Sounds good. Yeah, sounds good. Take over your living room. [00:28:09] Speaker B: Yeah, I got a nice place. [00:28:11] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I'd like to see it someday. I'd like to be invited to either one of your places. [00:28:14] Speaker C: I'm not sure I have a Super bowl in me. I tried doing. The last time I tried to do a Super bowl party, it was. It tanked. [00:28:21] Speaker A: Oh, really? Nobody showed or just people? [00:28:24] Speaker C: No, people showed. It was the most. There was this generation of boring, nerdy, goddamn comedians that just wanted to talk about their favorite SNL sketches and blah, blah, blah. [00:28:37] Speaker A: Going into the game, it wasn't even the game. [00:28:39] Speaker C: It was just like, you boring. You just talk about comedy all the time. [00:28:43] Speaker A: Yeah. One dimensional people just, you know. [00:28:45] Speaker B: Mark, I've got my shirt out, ready to go. I've got it sitting on a table in my living room. The Buffalo Bill shirt that he used to wear to. Your party's bill. [00:28:52] Speaker C: Yeah. You should have A party. [00:28:53] Speaker B: So even though the Bills are not in the super bowl, have. No. [00:28:57] Speaker A: Yeah. I would want you there. Not walking around that Bill at all. Especially when the game goes south. And then I'm looking at you and that chairman. [00:29:04] Speaker B: That's why you don't wear Bill's gear. I learned a long time ago not to wear Bill's gear because when they lose, you're gonna look like an idiot. [00:29:10] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:11] Speaker C: What's your prediction then? [00:29:13] Speaker A: Well, the entire world is picking the Seahawks to win. I've not seen one pundit or one journalist pick the Patriots. Now, seems like Seattle's going to win, but I remember when the Patriots were undefeated that season. Right. And they played the Giants. Everyone picked the Patriots. Nobody picked the Giants, and Giants won. So I don't know if you, you know, reading the conspiracy things and whatever. Like when everybody's picking one way. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Right. [00:29:42] Speaker A: Don't sleep on the other way. [00:29:43] Speaker B: Especially with sports books now. [00:29:44] Speaker A: Right. [00:29:45] Speaker C: I think Vegas is leaning on the officials right now. [00:29:48] Speaker A: Right, Right. So I think they're gonna. I think they're gonna lose. But will it be a plucky loss. [00:29:54] Speaker C: Or will it be a Versus the Bears Massacre? [00:29:57] Speaker A: No, I don't think it's gonna be a verse. Versus the Bears massacre. I think it'll be plucky. Yeah. I think, though, they've got pluck. They're very plucky. [00:30:04] Speaker C: He plays for the Patriots. [00:30:06] Speaker A: Well, you got Drake May. [00:30:07] Speaker B: Yeah, could be. [00:30:09] Speaker A: And we'll find out tomorrow night. MVP of the National Football League. And then you got a cast of. [00:30:15] Speaker B: You know, Stefan Diggs. [00:30:16] Speaker A: Stefan Diggs. There you go. Your best man, Stefan Diggs. He's been great. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Yep. I'm a huge fan. [00:30:21] Speaker A: Yeah, it's kind of a team of mercenaries. [00:30:23] Speaker C: What about Vinitari? No, he's not still there. [00:30:25] Speaker A: He's not. [00:30:26] Speaker B: He's long gone. [00:30:27] Speaker A: He's been replaced by. [00:30:28] Speaker C: What did you call him? Vinnie the Guinea. [00:30:31] Speaker A: I never said that. I never said. [00:30:33] Speaker C: I remember. [00:30:33] Speaker A: I've never used that term. [00:30:34] Speaker B: Guinea. [00:30:35] Speaker A: I never used that term. [00:30:36] Speaker C: He's telling me. [00:30:36] Speaker B: That's why I just got so wide. [00:30:38] Speaker A: Some people. [00:30:39] Speaker C: Super bowl pie. [00:30:40] Speaker A: Now, some people refer to him as the Golden Guinea. I didn't ever say that term. I don't use those kind of terms. Guinea. [00:30:48] Speaker C: You did. [00:30:51] Speaker A: That's a pejorative term for Italians. I don't talk like that. [00:30:54] Speaker C: Who else did they used to have when they were good? [00:30:57] Speaker B: Oh, well. [00:30:58] Speaker A: Have you heard of Tom Brady? [00:30:59] Speaker C: Yeah, but no. They had a cast of people. What? The one thing I always did, I. Tell me If I already said this, the one thing I always liked about the Patriots is if anyone got lippy, they tossed them out. [00:31:12] Speaker B: Oh, they did? Well, yeah. [00:31:13] Speaker A: Get out of here. [00:31:14] Speaker C: Take any shit? [00:31:14] Speaker B: Yep. [00:31:15] Speaker C: The team, the paid before you, they. [00:31:17] Speaker A: Call that the Patriot way. [00:31:19] Speaker C: Yeah. And I always liked that because Mike. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Vables brought back the Patriot way. [00:31:23] Speaker B: I'm surprised to find Diggs is doing so well there then, because he's classically a diva. [00:31:28] Speaker A: Yeah, well, they had Randy Moss too. They had other guys that would fall in line with the Patriot way or you would get the out. [00:31:33] Speaker C: Yeah, that was good, that. [00:31:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Good for them. [00:31:35] Speaker A: Yeah. You like that? Your old school values. Shut up and play. [00:31:40] Speaker C: We're ants. [00:31:41] Speaker A: Ants marching. Yeah. [00:31:45] Speaker C: That's what's wrong with this world. [00:31:48] Speaker A: Yeah, well. [00:31:50] Speaker C: We'Re not. We're not. [00:31:52] Speaker A: We're not. We're not. [00:31:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:54] Speaker A: Following directives. [00:31:55] Speaker C: We're not. We're not obeying the laws of nature. That. That humans are communal beasts. And you. You do what's best for the team. [00:32:07] Speaker A: Yeah. It's a very selfish, selfish society we live in. [00:32:10] Speaker C: That's why I hate. What's it. What do they call them? Not Republicans. The people who want to be Republican but haven't got the balls. [00:32:24] Speaker A: Of course. You're talking about. [00:32:26] Speaker C: What do they call themselves? [00:32:27] Speaker A: Libertarians. [00:32:28] Speaker C: Libertarians, yes. [00:32:30] Speaker A: The Ralph Nader people. [00:32:32] Speaker C: I thought he was a green freak. [00:32:34] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that's him. [00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:35] Speaker A: The Ross Perot. [00:32:36] Speaker B: No Ross Perot. [00:32:39] Speaker A: He was something. [00:32:40] Speaker C: That's funny. He was that. No, Ross Perot was that lunatic. Millionaire. [00:32:47] Speaker A: Dan Carvers to do. Great. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:48] Speaker A: Can't I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? Can I finish? Oh, good. All right, well, we want to go that down that rabbit hole. [00:32:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:32:59] Speaker A: Already 30 minutes in here and I really want to talk about. Okay. Marcelo Hernandez. Now, I chose him because I told you last week. Stumbled on this. It. The algorithm pulled it up after something else. I was watching and I watched the first couple minutes. I said I must. I'm not gonna watch this right now. I'm gonna tell the guys. We're gonna watch this one, right? I like Marcelo Hernandez from what I've seen of him on Saturday. Saturday Night Live, where he's a current cast member. Maybe I should have done more research, but I don't know how. A whole hell of a lot about him other than that, what do you guys know? Do you know anything about him? [00:33:38] Speaker B: I don't even. I've never even seen him on snl. I only know that he was on snl. [00:33:43] Speaker A: I know nothing is on us it. [00:33:44] Speaker B: Was, that's what I mean. Yeah. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Do you guys not watch snl? [00:33:47] Speaker C: No. [00:33:48] Speaker B: No. I mean, no, I'm not home Saturday night to watch tv. Well, you could watch it on what? [00:33:54] Speaker A: On your, your TiVo. [00:33:59] Speaker C: My missus would watch it occasionally, but I won't, I'll leave the room. [00:34:04] Speaker A: I watch it, I don't appointment watch it. I don't, you know, jump in front of the screen on Saturday nights to watch it. But when I, when I'm, you know. [00:34:12] Speaker B: I found out I do, I found a channel on my digital antenna that plays nothing but old SNL episodes. [00:34:17] Speaker A: Really? [00:34:18] Speaker B: Just back to back. [00:34:19] Speaker A: Antenna TV? [00:34:20] Speaker B: Yep. [00:34:20] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like channel like 58.6. [00:34:24] Speaker A: Digital is a digital antenna. [00:34:26] Speaker B: Yep. [00:34:27] Speaker A: Let's see if I can find all. [00:34:28] Speaker B: Sorts of free stuff. [00:34:28] Speaker A: It's playing it right now. [00:34:29] Speaker B: Yes, right now. And it'll jump from one from, you know, a year ago to one from the 80s to one from the 90s. I can check that out. [00:34:36] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah, I like that. Anyway, so I, I, I, he's got a good energy, he's kind of funny, he's weird. And I thought this will be a good current comedian to watch. I think we need to watch some, some of the guys that are just hitting the, the scene right now. He's a young man. I don't know how old does he say he is? [00:34:55] Speaker C: 27, I think. [00:34:55] Speaker A: Oh, he's 27. He looks like a 15 year old. Looks very young. [00:35:01] Speaker B: He does, yeah. I would have guessed 24. [00:35:03] Speaker A: Yeah, it looks very young. Anyway, this, this special now on Netflix is called American Boy. Just came out recently. Takes place, takes place, shot in Miami, where he is from where, what was. [00:35:16] Speaker B: The name of the theater? [00:35:17] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:35:18] Speaker B: That was a cool looking spot. [00:35:20] Speaker A: I didn't see the spot as much. [00:35:22] Speaker C: In the, it felt like a decorated warehouse like that one guy had used to me because Michael Che. Yeah. Because he had a large stage behind him. [00:35:31] Speaker B: Right, right, right. [00:35:31] Speaker C: But then stood on a tiny apron square. [00:35:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, I can tell already by your gas face that you didn't enjoy this young man. Am I right? [00:35:42] Speaker C: It was awful. It was terrible. [00:35:45] Speaker A: Well, let's get right to it. Do you feel the same way that this kid was awful? [00:35:49] Speaker B: If I had to sum it all up, I wasn't a fan. [00:35:52] Speaker C: Yeah, big pile of shit. [00:35:56] Speaker A: Big pile of shit. All right, well I don't want to. [00:35:59] Speaker B: Come down too hard on him though because I don't know if he's a stand up comedian, he's a sketch guy. [00:36:03] Speaker C: You know, I watched an hour and I was like, this guy, not a stand up. [00:36:06] Speaker B: Yeah. What's he doing on stage as a stand up comedian? You know, was he just put in that position and he's like, oh, fuck. I guess I have to make an hour's worth of material now. [00:36:14] Speaker A: Well, that's why I think where we're at with stand up and stand up specials, right? Like, anyone. Like Brett Goldstein? Well, I guess he was like, stand up. I mean, it just seems like anyone that's on TV is right. [00:36:24] Speaker B: You can just give him an hour. [00:36:25] Speaker A: Give him an hour. [00:36:26] Speaker C: Tell you how I watch this called Stand Up. How I watch this. I said to my missus, I've got to do this. Do you want to sit in and watch it with me? She said, yeah, okay. We got about five minutes in. And I said, I'm not gonna make this the whole way. Let's do halfway. And she's like, I'm not gonna argue with that. By the time we got to halfway, it was like beads of sweat. Like, is this it? Is this it? Yes, we're halfway. [00:36:52] Speaker A: You were sweating off. [00:36:54] Speaker B: Off, yeah. My experience was almost very similar. [00:36:57] Speaker C: I literally was. I hit pause to see where Netflix was gonna put the brake, and then just mentally was like, okay, if I can make it there and then tomorrow morning, I'll just finish it off. [00:37:09] Speaker B: Did you. [00:37:10] Speaker C: Without my Mrs. [00:37:11] Speaker B: Okay. [00:37:11] Speaker A: Did you bother to finish it off? [00:37:13] Speaker C: I did finish it off. Yeah. [00:37:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. [00:37:15] Speaker C: And I'm sort of glad I did because it. From the absolute nadir of stand up, which I left off in, it climbed. [00:37:26] Speaker A: Nadir means peak or means bottom. [00:37:29] Speaker C: Acme is the peak, nadir is the bar. [00:37:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:32] Speaker C: It climbed just imperceptibly towards the end. [00:37:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Very similar experience. I watched the first 20 minutes, turned it off, said, I'll do this tomorrow. [00:37:45] Speaker C: It's not a good sign. [00:37:46] Speaker B: And then. And then today you did not. I. No, I did. I. I said, well, let's. I said, you know what? Let's just watch the last 15 minutes, see how, you know, how it wraps up. Because if we start. It was an agreement. I was watching it with my missus, and we both said, okay, this is awful. Let's turn this off for now. And the next morning, it was, okay, let's give another shot. But if he's still talking about the same thing 20 minutes later, you know, that's it. You know, I'm gonna go and I'm gonna watch the last five minutes. So then it turned into 15 minutes. I think we started with, like, 16 minutes left, and it was bearable enough. And I finished it out. And I finished it. Yes. [00:38:28] Speaker A: Well, I guess you guys did better than me. I came home late last night, and I was like, you know what? I always watch these in the morning, right? And I'm always pressured to fit the hour in to watch it. It's like, I'm gonna stay up late tonight, and I'm gonna watch it, make myself a Jack's Pizza. Really? You know, I'd worked all day, and. [00:38:47] Speaker B: It'S so risky, too. Late at night, pizza, bad dreams. [00:38:51] Speaker A: I know, but, you know. And I was like, I'm really gonna relax here. Light a fire, so to speak. [00:38:56] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:38:59] Speaker A: I. But I fell asleep, but I honestly think it was in the last five minutes, so I don't. I am curious to see how it ended. So you guys can tell me, Right? I'll tell you where I left off. [00:39:10] Speaker B: And he had one good Shark Tank joke, I thought. [00:39:15] Speaker A: I don't think I heard any Shark Tank material. [00:39:18] Speaker B: It was just. It was just a reference to Shark Tank. And I think I just thought it was funny because I wasn't expecting to say something funny. [00:39:22] Speaker C: It was part of the full house. [00:39:24] Speaker B: I have. [00:39:25] Speaker A: Full house of the last thing I wrote on my page. Then what. How much was after that Full House bit? [00:39:30] Speaker C: I've just got. The screaming is getting really annoying. [00:39:34] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:39:35] Speaker C: Immigrant people. Grown Parenting debate. Grown crime. Bit grown. That's my notes for the last bit. [00:39:44] Speaker A: Okay. [00:39:44] Speaker B: My girlfriend is much more attuned to what's been on the Internet for the last, you know, five years. Like, all the memes and the jokes, you know, the things that I don't really pay a lot of attention to. And she pointed out that a lot of his material, she's like, this is a joke that was on the Internet a year ago. He just changed one word, and that just kept happening over and over again. [00:40:04] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. The material is not good, right? I mean, it's. The writing's not good, maybe is a better way of saying it. Like, there's. He just seems like he has. He. Like a comedian who has ideas, and he just goes up and talks about them for as long as he can. There's no. He doesn't even know where the jokes are. [00:40:24] Speaker C: It's what I call enthusiastic storytelling. [00:40:27] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I was looking for. [00:40:30] Speaker B: I was kind of saying the same thing. I was like, listen. [00:40:31] Speaker A: I see. [00:40:32] Speaker B: Like, if. If I was talking to this guy in a room, I'd be like, this guy's hilarious. You know, I'll talk to this guy all day long, you know? But that's not what we're here for, you know? [00:40:39] Speaker A: Right. Right. Yeah. [00:40:42] Speaker B: I want some structure. I want a punchline. [00:40:44] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. The screaming. Yeah. I really thought that was bad. I mean, it was almost Kinnison esque. [00:40:53] Speaker B: Yes. [00:40:54] Speaker A: He was doing. [00:40:54] Speaker B: Right. I thought the same thing, the way. [00:40:56] Speaker A: He screamed, but he screamed so often, and it became so grating towards the end. I mean, it was grading the whole time, but it really was like, you got to stop. You got to stop screaming. [00:41:05] Speaker C: I think it was because he realized that was a laugh. Get. [00:41:09] Speaker B: Yes. [00:41:09] Speaker C: He was just trying to. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Mugging. [00:41:11] Speaker C: Keep it up. [00:41:12] Speaker A: Yeah. And also, I mean, I. You know, when we were doing the sound check here, I kept saying, dog, dog, dog, dog, dog. [00:41:23] Speaker B: Now I get it. All right, Right. [00:41:24] Speaker A: Because that's. I mean, he. He bookended everything with dog, you know, dog. You know, Dog. And the accent, right? His. His Latin accent almost seemed fake to me. Like, it was almost over the top, like he was playing it. [00:41:45] Speaker C: You went to a Jesuit school in Miami and a Jesuit college, Right. You weren't hanging around with Chico and the fucking man, dude. [00:41:55] Speaker B: You know, Let me give a point of view. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off. [00:41:59] Speaker C: No, no. [00:42:00] Speaker B: All right. My cousin that works for the Florida Panthers down there in Fort Lauderdale. All right, he's got a very good friend named Alex, and Alex is a Miami kid, you know, And I've known this guy for a long time. He talks just like him. And he also, like, wasn't hanging out. I don't know. What'd you say with Chico? [00:42:20] Speaker A: He's Chico and the man. He's referencing an old TV show. [00:42:22] Speaker B: Right, right. But he's very much like, just realistically does talk that way, and he's, you. [00:42:27] Speaker A: Know, he talks like Marcelo Hernandez. [00:42:29] Speaker B: Yeah, Yeah. I saw a lot of similarities. [00:42:31] Speaker C: I mean, I could see, I guess, the youth of today down in Miami. I've been to Miami. I loved Miami. God, I like Miami. To me, it's like Europe. Like, people actually aren't just walking around like tramps, like in the Midwest. [00:42:46] Speaker B: Right. [00:42:46] Speaker C: And all that. So I could see that the kids would be like, well, this is a cool accent to have, so I'm just going to cultivate it. [00:42:55] Speaker A: So. [00:42:56] Speaker C: So. But I would. Thought it would have worn off. [00:42:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:00] Speaker C: You know, college in Ohio. Yeah, I. I just. I don't buy it. [00:43:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't buy it either. To me, it was like a. It was like a. Almost as cartoonish as, like, A Speedy Gonzalez meets Tony Montana. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Sure. Like, it very much would fit. It'd be like. Like, almost like a prop for his act, you know, it almost. It's almost necessary for him to get across and to talk to. To talk the way he's trying to communicate. [00:43:26] Speaker A: Yeah. It would be like if a Boston comedian really played up that boss. [00:43:30] Speaker B: Right? Yeah. Because they're playing to a Boston crowd, and they, you know, they got. This is how I'm gonna get them. Right? Yeah. [00:43:36] Speaker A: Yeah, that. Yeah. See, I didn't. I mean, I thought the first five minutes when he comes out is. Was, oh, my God. It was like an open mic are coming out and bombing. [00:43:50] Speaker C: Like. [00:43:51] Speaker A: Like. And you just felt like this guy does not know what he's doing when he's doing that dance bit and he's trying too hard and it's not landing. I was like, oh, my God. And that must have been what you were talking about, like, in the first. Like, I'm not gonna make it through this. [00:44:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:03] Speaker A: And that's the part that I saw when I stumbled on this, and I was like, all right, let's. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Let's have a look. [00:44:08] Speaker A: Let's have a closer look at this. [00:44:10] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [00:44:11] Speaker A: To see if, you know, he bombs for an hour. But I thought he. You know what? I. You know, I thought he did have some good spots as it went on. Like, I thought his take on him thinking he was white until he went to Ohio. And then, like, contrasting the differences between, you know, the Miami culture he grew up in and the Ohio culture. [00:44:36] Speaker B: Right. Where was. [00:44:37] Speaker A: When he does that bit about, like, in Ohio, you know, there. And he starts. He just starts singing that killer song, Jealousy. Like, I thought that was really good. I thought he did awesome with that. And then to contrast that with, you know, how the music is so happy in Miami, even when it's, you know, about, like, I'm getting a divorce, my wife is another man, you know? Right. [00:45:05] Speaker C: Yeah. But I've heard that bit. [00:45:07] Speaker A: You have? [00:45:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:09] Speaker A: Who did that bit? [00:45:10] Speaker C: Every open MIC are between 1998 and 2000. I mean, it's not. There is not. There is literally nothing in this hour. That is the most. The only good bit I have to say about it was the. The prank his mum pulled on him with the. Making him think he was the foster. [00:45:31] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah. The Child Protective services one. [00:45:34] Speaker C: Yeah. That was the only. Literally the only piece of this that is salvageable. [00:45:40] Speaker B: Speaking of which, how about the fact that this. I think this might be the third special in a row, or at least three out of the last four that a family member introduced. [00:45:48] Speaker A: Yeah, I was gonna say Mom. [00:45:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Why does this keep happening? [00:45:52] Speaker C: And you know what's weird is, you know, he kind of does like a dance with her. [00:45:55] Speaker B: Yeah. At the end. [00:45:56] Speaker C: Isn't that what the Beckhams are now feuding about? I really don't. [00:46:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:02] Speaker C: One of the Beckhams is now at loggerheads with caution. Whatever. Because they did a dirty dance at his, at his wedding. [00:46:13] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I did read that the, the kid was upset because family members were, like, dancing provocatively. [00:46:19] Speaker C: No, no. He was gonna do his first dance with his wife and they pulled a switcheroo and Posh goes up there to dance with them and then dances kind of like grinds on him a bit. And he's sitting there going, jesus Christ. You know, like, this is my wedding. And I got my mum grinding on my pelvis. And now they're big, big to do about it. [00:46:42] Speaker B: But the dance was a little close. [00:46:44] Speaker C: It was like, it's your mom. [00:46:46] Speaker B: Yeah. Seriously. Come on, man. [00:46:47] Speaker A: Oh, with Hernandez. Yeah, at the end. [00:46:49] Speaker B: Yeah, when he's getting off. [00:46:50] Speaker C: Like, they said they did it at the start as well then. [00:46:53] Speaker B: Oh, I said I didn't notice that part, but I, I, they danced for a long time and it got pretty intense. [00:46:59] Speaker A: That that was throughout this special something that I kept coming back to. Like, there's like an Oedipal thing here with him and his mom. All these stories about his mom. [00:47:10] Speaker B: Right. And, like, and I did think it was funny. He went, gave her a big hug after talking trash about her for 45 minutes. Yeah. Really, though. [00:47:16] Speaker A: Almost the entire act is about her. [00:47:18] Speaker C: Yeah. And it's like physical, hey, physical abuse, mental abuse. But that's fine. I was like, whoa. The only thing, I mean, this, this whole thing was an hour of not funny, not good comedy. But it did make me think about some stuff of, like. One of the things that I really get annoyed about is this whole thing that if you're an immigrant, you must be working class. And I've been having this argument now for 27 years of being here. Like, just because you're an immigrant does not mean life was hard. Like, you know, obviously I'm middle class immigrant, so I'm gonna say that. And probably for most immigrants, it is harder, but this assumption I see comedians get, oh, my, my parents were immigrants. It was a hard life. I was like, well, what were your parents? Well, one was a university lecturer and one's a doctor. [00:48:10] Speaker A: Right. [00:48:10] Speaker C: No, you're middle class, so shut the up about Your hard life and that. That just robbed me with this thing. It's like you just painting this brush of immigrant this and blah, blah, blah. No, you're talking about class. And, you know, that's a huge bugbear for me. So not only was I annoyed how shit the comedy was then was like getting under the skin of some of my. Yeah. Of my real hot issues as well. [00:48:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So saying like, he. He's really playing up his immigrant status to make it seem like I had it rough because I was. Is he Cuban? He's Cuban, Right. [00:48:53] Speaker C: Or he's Cuban American boy. [00:48:56] Speaker A: Cuban. His family's Cuban. Right. Yeah. Yeah, I see that. He's almost like a. Playing a Cuban Jeff Foxworthy. Meaning, like, right. Trolling or digging for that, you know, poor man's appeal. [00:49:19] Speaker C: Sure. Some will say, well, Mark, you only think that because you are a fat, white, fucking middle class fuck, but whatever. [00:49:27] Speaker A: I never really think of you as an immigrant, you know? [00:49:29] Speaker B: Yeah, it's true. [00:49:30] Speaker C: But I am. [00:49:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Both. Both sides have a case. [00:49:33] Speaker A: Could ICE sweep you up and get you out of here? [00:49:37] Speaker C: I mean, they don't follow due process, so they could do it to anyone. [00:49:42] Speaker A: Right, Right. But you're. But your current status is green card. Green card. What about citizenship? [00:49:49] Speaker B: You. [00:49:50] Speaker A: There's got to be a path there for you. Right? [00:49:52] Speaker C: I feel like I already discussed this. [00:49:54] Speaker A: I don't think so. [00:49:55] Speaker B: I don't think I've heard of this. [00:49:56] Speaker C: I couldn't do it when my dad was alive because that would have killed him. Kill them. And now I don't really see the point of it. [00:50:04] Speaker B: Oh. [00:50:04] Speaker C: Plus I have this whole thing of I hate the Nash. [00:50:09] Speaker B: Yeah, we've talked. [00:50:10] Speaker C: National identity is forced upon you. [00:50:11] Speaker B: Yes, we've talked a little bit. [00:50:12] Speaker A: Oh, we did. [00:50:13] Speaker B: So that makes sense. [00:50:14] Speaker A: I got it. Yeah. I would like to see you be. Be an American, though. [00:50:17] Speaker B: What does it matter? [00:50:18] Speaker C: Well, I am more yank now. I'm 29 years yank. 27 years. [00:50:23] Speaker A: You're more Yank. [00:50:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:27] Speaker C: But I'm a citizen of the world is how I like to annoy people at dinner parties. [00:50:35] Speaker A: All right, well, we'll. Let's give it with the rating scale. Dogs. How many dogs you want to. [00:50:43] Speaker C: No, it shouldn't be. How many eyes. [00:50:46] Speaker A: What was that? [00:50:47] Speaker C: That was one of his screens, but I didn't really deliver it with. With a stove. [00:50:56] Speaker A: That wasn't very good either. What about him being a young Ricky Ricardo? [00:51:01] Speaker B: Who says that? [00:51:02] Speaker A: Young Desi Arnaz Jr. I don't know who that is from I Love Lucy. Desi Arnaz. [00:51:07] Speaker C: Oh, there's a husband. [00:51:08] Speaker B: He could. [00:51:09] Speaker A: He could play a young Desi. Arnaz. [00:51:16] Speaker B: Now that's a funny show. [00:51:18] Speaker A: Sure. Okay, let's do. Let's do her next. We'll see a ball. I can't wait to see who. Who's picking. [00:51:23] Speaker B: I've been, I've been barking up that roast tree for a while now, but. [00:51:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I wanted to do it. [00:51:27] Speaker B: Seems to go for it. [00:51:27] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you'll get the. Listen. [00:51:29] Speaker B: Yes, you choose a rose. [00:51:31] Speaker A: That's the beauty of this. [00:51:31] Speaker B: The power is in my hands next week. [00:51:33] Speaker A: All right, well, listen, I think this kid's very affable. I think he's earnest. I think that's one thing that comes across. And he's not. He's not phony. Right. He's an earnest kid. And yeah, he's not skilled. He's not a skilled comedian. He has good energy. He's positive. Right. And I think, I think, you know, there's more in store for this kid. He's not a good stand up. His material is not very good. His delivery is not very good. But you know, with that, I'll give him one out of four dogs or screams or whatever. Grinds with his mother. [00:52:14] Speaker B: That's what I was thinking too. [00:52:16] Speaker A: Grinding on his mom. One out of four, Mark. [00:52:21] Speaker C: Zero out of four. [00:52:22] Speaker A: Zero. This is getting nothing. No, nothing redeeming here. [00:52:25] Speaker C: This is, this is bracketed. This is the closest to Brett Goldstein. Wow. [00:52:31] Speaker A: More than anybody else. But it is. Is it as bad as Brett Goldstein? [00:52:37] Speaker C: I would say it's. Yeah. See, because I was like, is this. Are we going to be voting no? Because you've already said it's not the worst thing. [00:52:44] Speaker A: I don't think it's as bad as Goldstein. [00:52:49] Speaker C: That. [00:52:49] Speaker A: That killer spit with the music. That won't be over. [00:52:52] Speaker C: That. [00:52:52] Speaker A: That moved me off the Goldstein meter. [00:52:57] Speaker C: Maybe slightly better than Goldstein. [00:53:01] Speaker A: Slightly better than Goldstein. It's like the Mendoza line in baseball, right? Like, you know, the batting average, the low batting average. It's the Goldstein line. Christian, is he above or below the gold steel? [00:53:15] Speaker B: Well, I'll tell you what. You know, I'd love to give him a rating if he ever comes out with a stand up special. Because it's not a stand up special. But since I do have to give him a rating, I will give him half a dog. But the half a dog back half of the dog. The. [00:53:30] Speaker A: The hind quarters of the dog. [00:53:31] Speaker B: That's right. [00:53:32] Speaker A: So we got a half a one and a zero. And for Goldstein, we gave them all a Zero. In essence, I don't think we. I don't know. We were doing it. [00:53:42] Speaker B: I don't know if I was in the mix quite yet at that point. [00:53:45] Speaker A: Two zeros. All right. So he. He avoided the gold scene. [00:53:48] Speaker B: No certificate. No certificate this week. It was. It was discussed ahead of time. [00:53:52] Speaker A: What did I get that one for? Who was that for? [00:53:55] Speaker B: That was for. Oh, what's her name? Leanne Morgan. [00:53:57] Speaker A: Leanne Morgan. So how about that? [00:53:59] Speaker C: Way worse than Leanne Morgan. I'll get. Oh, yeah, yeah. [00:54:03] Speaker A: But you said Leanne Morgan was the. [00:54:04] Speaker B: Worst year, the worst I've ever seen. [00:54:05] Speaker A: And this kid's better than Leanne Morgan. [00:54:07] Speaker B: I would rather watch this special again than ever see anything Leanne Morgan does again. [00:54:11] Speaker A: Leanne Morgan's a pro. My wife did give me some shit about it, though, when I. After she listened to that one recently. [00:54:19] Speaker B: Did you hang up your. [00:54:20] Speaker A: You like Leanne Morgan's breasts? Huh? [00:54:24] Speaker B: Where's the certificate in your house? [00:54:26] Speaker A: It's behind my desk. [00:54:27] Speaker B: Is it? [00:54:28] Speaker A: If we were in a zoom, you. [00:54:29] Speaker C: Could see it behind your desk. Like you're the principal of the. You have a desk. [00:54:35] Speaker A: Diplomas. And I got that up there. My many diplomas. [00:54:39] Speaker C: Then you bring your kids in once a week. So we've had a review. [00:54:44] Speaker A: Sit down, son. [00:54:47] Speaker C: But you're just not right for this organization. You don't understand the Patriot Way. [00:54:53] Speaker A: Oh, my kids are on board with the Patriot Way. Well, yeah. All right, well, maybe we'll do better next week. Or the comedian will do better next week. Mark, who's that gonna be? [00:55:04] Speaker C: So I think. Oh, man, now. Yeah, I should have. This is another thing. So I picked three out. [00:55:10] Speaker A: All right. [00:55:11] Speaker C: I want us. I want us to get back to. Well, there's three comedians that are massive and I have watched one minute of their stuff. I've got on the Boiler. I've got Kevin Hart, Shane Gillis, and Taylor Tomlinson. [00:55:28] Speaker B: All right. [00:55:29] Speaker C: And you can see I've gone full DEI on those three. [00:55:33] Speaker A: The dead D. I would. Oh, Department of Equity Inclusion. [00:55:37] Speaker C: Yeah. So. [00:55:40] Speaker A: Full Di. [00:55:42] Speaker C: Someone was telling me Shane Gillis. Who is it? Nick Mullen was telling me this weekend Shane Gillis played like Madison Square Garden. Yeah. [00:55:52] Speaker B: He's huge. He's blowing up. [00:55:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:54] Speaker C: And yet, I don't know. I don't even know what he looks like. [00:55:58] Speaker A: You don't? [00:55:59] Speaker C: No. So I'm. I'm shading towards Shane Gillis. [00:56:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. So how are you going to make this decision? You going to make it right now? You're going to decide. Are you Looking for us. Looking at us. [00:56:12] Speaker B: I don't want to influence your decision. [00:56:13] Speaker C: No, I'm trying to coax some sort of thing out of you. [00:56:17] Speaker B: I'll tell you what. I already know which one I would like to watch out of those three, but I'm not going to. [00:56:21] Speaker A: I know who I don't want to watch. [00:56:24] Speaker B: I also know who I don't want to watch. [00:56:25] Speaker A: Yeah, but not gonna say. [00:56:28] Speaker C: I'm gonna go. Shane Gillis. Cool. [00:56:31] Speaker A: I'm excited because I've seen. I saw him on Saturday Live. He was great on Saturday Night Live. Very controversial. Was fired from Saturday Night Live, I guess, at one point. [00:56:38] Speaker B: Have you seen his show Tires? [00:56:40] Speaker A: No, but I keep hearing about it. [00:56:42] Speaker B: Yeah. It's good, the show. I really enjoyed it. Yep. [00:56:44] Speaker A: He's a maga, you know. [00:56:45] Speaker B: Is he? [00:56:46] Speaker A: Yeah, he's part of that MAGA crowd. I mean, he trends maga. I'm not saying he's a trumper. I don't know any of his politics. [00:56:53] Speaker C: But I think the special is called Beautiful Dogs. My. I can't read my own chicken scratch here. It's something Dogs, for sure. [00:57:04] Speaker A: Beautiful Dog. Well, you let us know. [00:57:06] Speaker C: I think it's Beautiful Dogs. And it's on Netflix. [00:57:09] Speaker A: Okay. [00:57:09] Speaker B: You're gonna have to text it to us individually, though, because I don't know if that's. This is one of the downfalls of the flip phone. I notice I do not receive group texts anymore, to my delight. [00:57:19] Speaker C: Huh? [00:57:19] Speaker A: You can't get group text on a flip? [00:57:21] Speaker B: Well, no, I don't think so, because I had to turn on my smartphone to do something, and I saw a group chat to the entire staff about something hilarious that happened last weekend, and I would have not have seen it had I not turned on my phone. So that's why I texted you individually yesterday. [00:57:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Now. Yeah, I figured that out now. Yeah. What the fuck is this? Joint taxes. [00:57:40] Speaker C: This one says downhill skiing. [00:57:44] Speaker A: Whoa. Give me that one. That one's for me. That's a directive. Still got a little time. Let me do some downhill skiing. It does not say that. It says kiss me. All right. Yeah. Next week will be the week before Valentine's Day. I'll be all fired up getting ready for that. Are you coming to the show? The Stelling? [00:58:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm actually working that night. [00:58:07] Speaker A: You're not bringing the missus? [00:58:08] Speaker C: No, she's. She's going to an 80s prom dance with her mates. [00:58:14] Speaker A: Oh, okay. You weren't invited to that? No. [00:58:17] Speaker C: Okay. [00:58:18] Speaker A: I'll need a dinner recommendation for that night. We won't have dinner before time's the show. [00:58:22] Speaker B: Chef's special. [00:58:23] Speaker C: Treat your missus. [00:58:24] Speaker A: I've been there. It's great. Yeah. [00:58:25] Speaker C: Treat your missus to an irazu sandwich in the lobby. [00:58:29] Speaker A: Oh, they'reazu sandwiches. [00:58:31] Speaker B: Yeah, there will be. [00:58:32] Speaker A: Is that all the time now? [00:58:33] Speaker B: Every Friday and Saturday, Tino sets up his shop at 8:30. [00:58:36] Speaker A: Like the tamale guy. [00:58:37] Speaker B: Yep. [00:58:38] Speaker C: Yep. [00:58:38] Speaker A: All right, well, maybe we'll do that. [00:58:41] Speaker B: Last time he went to Portillo's and he bought slices of chocolate cake he was selling as an upcharge. I think he was just, like. He did a little side hustle. I think he was just putting some money in his own pocket. [00:58:51] Speaker C: That was a bizarre choice. [00:58:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I commend the kid for it. I think it's great. [00:58:56] Speaker A: I'm looking forward to that. [00:58:58] Speaker C: At least steam the original sticker off. [00:59:00] Speaker A: Oh, it said Portillo's on the cake. [00:59:02] Speaker B: He just brought them in the original packaging. He just said eight bucks. He bought them for three. He was selling them for eight. [00:59:08] Speaker A: Unbelievable. Hey, he's plucky. [00:59:10] Speaker B: Yeah, he is. Certainly is. [00:59:13] Speaker A: All right, well, I look forward to Shane Gillis. I look forward to the Super Bowl. Hopefully I'll be, you know, in a good mood after the big Patriots win and Valentine's Day. Tekashi, take us out.
