But yeah, but no, 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:01.720 but even in those in in that those times. No, 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.720 In fact, I don't think I've ever called out someone's 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:08.560 name in bed. Ever, I'm looking back at my history 0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:14.119 right now, hold on scanning, scanning my brain. I don't 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.319 think I've ever called anyone's name out. I mean I 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:24.479 think that's uh, that's only in movies, you think. No, No, 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.280 I don't think I think it's a it's a it's 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.240 a myth. I don't know. I feel like, I mean, 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.440 obviously we we've heard it before, right, Oh you're calling 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:37.240 out my name was, isn't it? Well, let me ask No, 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.120 you know the Trace Songs song. I bet the neighbors 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.560 know my name. It's great fucking song. It's uh, it's 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:50.240 it's it's about how how well he bangs his his 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:54.360 woman and then and they have the best sex. And 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:58.240 the whole point is she screams so loud his name, 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.480 he's the name of. So you know the choruses. I 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.720 bet the neighbors know my Name's great. You got a 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.040 guy's google it. Let's listen to this song. Hot song. 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.320 But you know it's a few years old too. But 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:12.720 I do think because it's only in movies, I don't think. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.840 But it is the thing. Well, tray, so you think 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:19.240 Trey Songs is lying, Well, it's he's going with the 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.320 old wives tale he's going wait wait mate, you think 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:26.679 he only bangs old wives. No, he's going with the 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.519 with because that's what that's what people say. It's a same. 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.200 I really think it's I really think it's a it's 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:37.440 a more of a uh just thought something idiomatic expression, 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.920 somebody would say, but you're implying that Trey Songs is 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.040 implying that because she yells at his name, the sex 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.480 is good. Therefore, maybe you've not You and I have 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:51.720 never had great sex. No, I that maybe that's the problem. 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:54.400 Maybe you were, maybe you're maybe you're guilty of no 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.639 women's that. No women really do that, but actually the 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.160 ones enjoying themselves do. And is that's the first thing 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.000 you're gonna do is yell the guy's name. And I 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:06.560 don't know. Slices. Uh, here's what I wanted to do, Slices. 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.280 I want you to go to two on eight, f 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.560 you A seventy seven, leave us a message, or use 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.280 the talkback feature on the I Heart radio app and 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.800 leave us a message. Do you call out names? Have 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.680 you called out the wrong name? And if you, has 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.480 anyone called out your name? And what were you doing? 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.360 And if you do? If you do, why don't you 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:26.359 Why don't you acted out as if you were doing it? Yeah? 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.120 How did how did it sound to you? How did 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.800 you sound doing it? What did it sound like? Don't 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.519 be like, hey man, this is this is Steve Brode scary. 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.400 Uh yeah, no, don't do that. You got to tell 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.160 us that you did it or hurt it done and 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.440 then re enacted. If you could just take the microphone 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.840 out of your mouth because you're swallowing it, Brodie, that 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.120 would be great. Oh, I thought you were making a 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:46.960 reference to the slices. Shouldn't do that because oh was 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.240 I was too close to the mic? Really, yeah, I wasn't. 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.240 You're pinning the needles as pinning and did the needle 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.360 call out my name? Maybe the needle knows your name, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:04:00.360 but you're pinning me. You're pinning me. By the way, 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.360 if somebody called out my last name during sex, it 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.040 would have had to have been since I'm in radio 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.240 and I was married before I was in radio, and 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.400 I can assure you my wife is not yelling out 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:13.880 my last name. That would be so awkward, right because 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.920 it's also her last name, which would be even more awkward. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.240 I just don't think people do it. I don't think 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.480 people call call each other's names out. I just don't 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.520 help us out there. Um, I mean, there's a million 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.800 other words you could scream. Why that, Because you're you're, you're, you're, 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:33.320 you want to acknowledge the person you're with you're like, oh, oh, Maria, 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.960 you know. So I got into a conversation today with 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.239 my other podcast host from Speaking Volumes podcast. I'm not jealous. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:45.440 I'm not jealous. Yeah. We were talking and she said, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:47.760 that's what you're doing because we know because sometimes we 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.440 sometimes we brainstorm about some topics or what we're gonna do. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.359 And she goes, why is it so easy for you 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:58.479 to do Brooklyn Boys, I'm not saying, oh, I feel 0:04:58.520 --> 0:04:59.720 I feel like it might be a little ship. I 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.280 don't be don't be in. She may be calling out 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:05.159 your name pretty soon. Yeah, shrekn do much better than me. 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.280 So and I said, you know, let me break this 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:11.120 down and I and I actually vocalized for the first 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:15.520 time her name. Why this works well because with her 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.320 it's like we usually fall on the same side of 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.400 an argument, and we worked together really an argument then no, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.600 but we worked together as a team and we kind 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.840 of we brace store about topics to explore cics. Can 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.719 you imagine if this podcast was me and Scary agreeing 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.240 on everything. And by the way, if I say, if 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.200 can you agree with me and Scary? I was Somebody 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:40.440 tweeted it man no names, someone DM me rather and said, well, 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.599 you corrected scaring his grammar. But then you said me 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.640 and my wife. Yes, there are certain times you can't 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.640 start a sentence with me and my wife went to 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.160 the to the to the musement park, because you wouldn't 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.159 say me went to the musement park. But if I 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.000 but if I said, can you imagine this podcast if 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.360 it was just me and Scary arguing or not arguing, 0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.120 I could also say, can you imagine this podcast with 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.240 just me? Right, you take the other name out, it 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.560 still makes sense. So I'm not gonna get into the 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.640 whole right, but other words, don't correct me on that one. 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.480 I'm I'm that one. I'm okay, Okay, I'm okay. So 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.200 so I can't imagine if this podcast was you and 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.719 you and me agreeing. Well, right, so, so I said, 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.120 I said the podcast usually, I said, Usually, we don't 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.039 really have to think too much because whatever I'm gonna say, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:25.040 he's gonna take the exact opposite angle because we are different. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.400 We are cut from the same cloth as much even 0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.880 though we have Brooklyn, even though we have Brooklyn and common, 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.400 we never see we never see eye to eyeon ship 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.320 on anything, we and everything. Everything Well, pizza. There are 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.960 very few things, if you think about it, there are 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.640 very few things that you and I actually agree on. 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.760 Everything is Everything is an argument. Everything is a debate. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.240 Not no, it's not. You are on the opposite side 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.800 of everything, and it's not for the sake of it. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.680 It's because that's who you are. It's for the sake 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.080 of it. You'll accuse me of going out to a 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:59.720 boogie restaurant, yes, because by the way, did you not 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:01.159 know what to I just disagree with everything you just 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.760 said I did. That's what I'm just going on. I'm 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.800 just continuing along. I know how to play. And then 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:12.560 you don't see what I'm saying there right exactly speaking 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.560 of booge restaurants, because you go to boogie restaurants all 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.880 the time. I want to say, you did right by me, 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:18.960 and my friends did not do right by me. I 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:21.640 did do right by you. You did because I have 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:26.239 a group of six to nine high school friends, junior 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.120 high school, high school friends. We're a group and we 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.480 try to get together at least once a year, maybe twice, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.040 and sometimes we go a year or two without getting together. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.800 So for instance, pandemic, we didn't get together, so we 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.920 really haven't gotten together in a in a couple of years. So, okay, 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.360 some of us live in New Jersey and some of 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.560 us live a couple of us live in Manhattan, and 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.240 a couple of us live in Long Island, which is 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:52.160 east of Manhattan, and one person lives north of Manhattan. 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:57.679 Um about forty five minutes out of Manhattan. Now, judging 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.080 from that scenario right there, and you may not be 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.800 familiar with the geography of the United of this part 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:07.600 of the country, but my explanation. But judging from there, 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:12.119 from that, Manhattan good A good A good meeting place 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.400 for you guys would be Manhattan and me and probably 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.720 just through one of the tunnels of New Jersey, meaning 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.480 like it's close to Manhattan. It's just it's it's it's 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.600 still close enough for the people from Long islandly get there. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:31.360 So we spent almost three weeks finding a place outside 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.040 of Manhattan and drilled it down for you, rilled down 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.439 this will be writing right near a ferry. It was 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:40.640 easily drivable and we had parking. Then one person said, oh, 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:42.280 you know what, that's too far from the ferry. Can 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.600 get at the closer. Why don't we try Hoboken which 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.680 is right over the bridge, I'm sorry, right over the 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.440 tunnel and the ferry. It's like perfectly located, which is 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.800 why it's a great town with great restaurant. So I said, 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:53.880 you know what, if we're gonna change where we're going, 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.200 let me talk to my my podcast co host, because 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.120 he is the mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, he knows 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.839 every place in Hoboken in Jersey City that's parking. I 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.120 looked up where the parking lots were and Scary came 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.880 through with like eight places that would fit what we 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:12.800 were looking for, and then down to the top three 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:15.120 and then we said, look here, the one that you 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.840 chose is probably going to be the best for everyone. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.120 And I even know the owner, so I'm gonna give 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.360 him a call. And I know that when I call 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:25.320 the owner, he's gonna throw around the drinks and and 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.360 some apps your way, guaranteed, because that's the kind of guy. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:32.120 And we can say where it is right, yeah, the place. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.880 I've been there with you. I got a tour of 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:38.400 the place. It's unbelievable. And Kenny and Connor, they are phenomenal. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.440 So I got all excited. I'm like, so I was 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.560 pushing my friends to like, hey, you know what, we 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.640 should go to the Ashford. I can get us a table. Translation, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.680 my friend can get us a table. And they're really 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.640 good people there. The food's great, it's a great bar, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.679 great atmosphere. It'll be awesome. And it's not. It's it's 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.520 not it's gonna be easy on the pocket. It's not 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.880 gonna put right which who doesn't love that? So I 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.520 got I got a couple of thank you, thank you, 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.760 thank you, that's great. Thanks for doing the legwork, I said, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.360 he is, here's five places that I've narrowed it down 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.480 to do the research. Here's the one place I know 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.880 we can get a table. You guys decide where are 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.600 the four places of five places you want to go. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:16.600 Keep in mind that one place you can hook us 0:10:16.679 --> 0:10:20.720 up and get back to me greatly. Well, so a 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.800 few people came back to me like this is great, 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.079 nice variety, this place has a parking lot. This is great. 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.280 And then a couple of people chimed in with well, 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.840 it's it's a bridge and a tunnel for me, And 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:36.760 then one person was like, it's eight dollars and it's 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.559 it's you know, it's we should have gone somewhere a 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.760 little further than why do you have friends like this 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.920 in your life? Because I because I'm crazy about them anyway, 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.400 So you ye the name? Nope, nope new A couple 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.880 of people, a couple of people in the group were 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.440 like texting each other, going, this is this is why 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.679 we don't get together, this is why we can't get together. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.880 Whatch So finally, the person who lives worth of Manhattan 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.440 was like, Hey, you know, we could go to this 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.000 place not far from here that has a parking lot. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:10.120 There's more space, and I'm sure we can get a table. 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:13.800 I was like, okay, not a problem. So my friends 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.120 renting a zip car from Manhattan to drive forty five 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.560 minutes to go up north, and everyone's out of his 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:24.440 pocket now it's also uh six and tolls plus gas 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.920 for me a forty five minute longer drive. But I 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:27.920 was like, you know, we all want to get to 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.920 it's not a problem. Okay, you're gonna go there tomorrow, 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.760 the person says. The person says, I'll call the place 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.400 and get us a table for six. Since it's near me, 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.479 I'll make the phone call. Oh it sounds great. Guess what. 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.920 They don't have any room. They don't have any room, right, 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.800 But now my friends already rented the car, and people 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.440 have already made plans and bought train tickets and you 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.079 know all this other stuff. So if we're going to 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.439 that area, now we have to find a backup location 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:01.000 with angry men. I don't understand. Why can't you like, No, 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.480 it's the women women involved. Yes, I don't. It's like 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:07.960 you and your boys. No, No, it's my boys and 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:09.760 my women. I know these are people I know since 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:16.400 I'm since I'm twelve, like people be more accommodating. Then, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.559 you know what, it's hard to coordinate people in different locations. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.920 You know, the older people get, the more that they 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:25.360 get set in their fucking ways. And they don't set 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.400 in their ways. That's the problem. No, they said in 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:30.480 their ways like I don't want to travel. Whoever, who 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.040 fucking took a ship all over the original plan? They 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.800 had to be You said it was like one or 0:12:34.800 --> 0:12:37.720 two people, you know what, leave them home. Let everybody else. 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.760 Can't they know they're fun? No, I can't. I going 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.080 to the astid We're not going to the but I 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.559 can assure you never time. Next time, we're going to 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:50.680 the goddamn, that's it. Good. Put your foot down, and 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.679 you know what, they don't serve dil there, so you're 0:12:52.840 --> 0:13:02.360 really happy. You're damn right, Floyd. Can I gave you 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.400 an out? I'm like atil boom supposed to jingle, I 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:07.680 got it, I hit it. My my my finger wasn't 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:13.040 on the on the button. Alright, alright. Um, I I 0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:18.320 met somebody last night. I went to a a networking 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.360 meet and greet. So it was a lot of big, big, 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:27.280 big big shots who work in audio related industries, podcasting, 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:33.480 the music division, music companies, TV radio, some big shots 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.880 from our you know, I heart our old company that 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.600 I didn't know. There's such big shots. I don't even 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.960 know them. They're so far up up up in like 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.160 legal departments. I don't even know who they are. So 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:48.400 I met one woman. Uh, she happens to be Chinese. 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.120 That's important to the story. I had never met him before. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.960 She works in television and we had a great conversation. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.640 That turns out we went to the same high school. 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:02.360 She graduated before I did by she so she graduated 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:04.880 the year before I went into the high school, so 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.559 we didn't overlap. But oh, she's like I don't believe you. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.559 Are you sure you went? So of course I showed her, uh, 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.200 you know, pictures and whatever, and I proved that I 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.480 went there, and he's like, oh my god. We hit 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.160 it up great. So we were talking about Brooklyn and 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.240 how we you know, it's harder to find good pizza 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.440 in our area. That's like the pizza we had in Brooklyn. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.000 No offense, tow Jersey pizza is a lot of good pizza, 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.680 but you know there's a specific style you liked in Brooklyn. 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.720 It's always find a horse. So I so I start 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.600 this conversation and now it's awkward because I want to 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.000 talk about how I can't find Chinese food in New 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.080 Jersey like the Chinese food in Brooklyn. There's a difference. 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:43.320 There's a difference. There's only one place. And I've talked 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.400 about a couple of people of d M me. There's 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.200 one place, um, a couple of towns over from me 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.880 that makes Chinese food like the people in Brooklyn did. Right, 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.040 And I asked him if they had family in Brooklyn. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:55.280 They don't know what I'm talking about, Like, no, we 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:57.640 don't have because I can't understand why they're the only 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.440 ones that make certain items the way they do exactly, 0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.920 like every place in Brooklyn makes Okay, Well, it's hard 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:07.280 to talk about Chinese food to a Chinese person because 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.560 you know how I I ripped you about Sadel's. Yeah, 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.680 because you were like an Italian guy telling me about 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:15.760 Jewish food. Well, she's like, oh, well, where do you 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.680 like the Chinese food from in the area? I said, Well, 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.960 if I want fried rice, I go to these three places. 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.200 But if I want one time, I jump super go 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:22.960 to this place. So I have a couple of favorites. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:28.880 But you know, nobody does everything great. And she scary. 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:33.160 She laughed and she said, you you you are naming 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:39.840 places that white people like. Of course it's not not Asian. Well, okay, yeah, 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.680 we we grew up in Brooklyn. We grew up with 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.280 she's from Boklyn, but we grew up within this with 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.120 a style of Chinese food that we knew in these 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:54.040 restaurants that were that were familiar to us and we enjoyed. 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:59.520 But because she's she's Chinese, there's a great chance that 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.680 she never ate it. Those types of places she looked 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.840 at home. No, she she has gone to them, but 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.800 it's not official for her. Right our parents cooked whatever. 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.440 So she says to me, the only good Chinese restaurants 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.440 in this area in Chinatown and I and I said, yeah, 0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:17.440 there's lots of good Chinatown restaurants. So she's which one 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:20.160 do you like? And I said, well, I like um 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.000 woa hop. And she starts laughing because it's a white 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:26.560 guy Chinese place. So he said, now wait a minute, 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.040 she says no. I said, look, I am not a 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.760 dead pig in the window Chinese restaurant guy. I'm not. 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.960 I'm not a chicken in the window guy. Because the authentic, 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:39.480 authentic Chinese places usually have pigs or chickens, hangs the goose, 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:44.440 the geese, the brown golden or by the little pig whatever. Right, okay, 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:46.440 I said, I. He says, because you have to go 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.800 to places where Chinese people eat. I said, look, in theory, 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.720 I get that, Like if I'm gonna go for Jewish food, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.520 I want to go to a place where Jewish people go, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.440 because that means they know the food. Like I wouldn't 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:02.480 you tell not you go from Tian food. You want 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.200 to go where the time people go. But here's the thing. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:08.800 In Brooklyn, it's known that choose no Chinese food we're 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:12.440 connoisseurs of Chinese food. We're not connoisseurs of Chinese Chinese food. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.240 So we went back and forth in a friendly but 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:17.359 I it sounded like you and I having a debate. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.680 And I realized I caught myself, and I said, you 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:20.480 know what, I am not going to tell you what 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.240 good Chinese food is. So what's what I'm gonna tell you. 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.480 I'm gonna tell you where the good Chinese American bastardized 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:28.800 version of that. Yeah, because that's who we eat. We do, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.320 we do, but we come to terms with it. But 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:36.960 she loves loves the Brooklyn Boys podcast. Nope that I 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:41.240 call it rose Poklam indevixtuals, Rose Vegetables. And I showed 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:46.840 her our Brooklyn Boys T shirt of the Chinese restaurant menu. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:48.760 I did not tell her the grape soda story. I 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:51.280 should have. She would feel like she might think I 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.919 was stealing from her people. Would you you would have 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.120 shamed me? Maybe? But what if? Oh my god, it's 0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:00.520 so much fun. Amazing woman, amazing resume. But she said 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:03.239 to me, she's look, I respect that you don't know 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:05.679 Chinese food, but you know what you know. But I 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.919 am personally going to take you to Chinatown to the 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.160 best dim sum places and and and make your head 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.960 explode when you taste the best of the best. So well, 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:18.000 I don't know where I'm going yet, but I just 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.119 said her last night that she already hit me up 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:22.960 on LinkedIn and she's like, don't forget, we gotta pick 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.760 at night. I'm gonna take you and we're going for 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.600 the best Chinese food. That sounds like she's making a 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.520 pass at you. No, no, no, no, no, my wedding 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.800 was on. No, no, I don't listen. People sometimes love food. 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.680 She may be unhappy in her marriage. I don't know. Oh, 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:42.800 stop it. Hey, So I went to Philly this weekend. Yeah, 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:44.480 I got a bone to pick with you.

Oh hey, welcome, because 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:57.639 some of the people that work at I Heeart Media 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.160 were aware of who I was. Never heard of our podcast. 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.680 So I watched them as they subscribed, and we'll listen 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.920 to episodes zero.
