Well, I don't know. You don't know. 37 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: That means that there's been some freaky stuff discussed. Because 38 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: if I, for example, I'm about to tell you about 39 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: my weekend I went on a guys trip.

Like 41 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: if you'd ask me on Friday, hey, is there some 42 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: freaky stuff? My answer wouldn't have been I don't know, 43 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: how did you know that? It was no though, because 44 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: I know you know that, but I they might have 45 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: wanted and they didn't, but they might. I am not 46 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: engaging in freaky stuff, So if you'd ask me Friday 47 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: about freaky stuff, I would have said, they're for certain 48 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: when I talked to you on Monday, no freaky stuff. Okay. 49 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: This woman, though, was like, I don't know. She was 50 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: open exactly right. So I hope everything's okay, and we'll 51 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: talk to her on Wednesday, and I'm very excited to hear. 52 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: I thought about her all weekend when I wasn't thinking 53 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: about myself. Dear blog, So do you remember I told 54 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: the story a few a couple of months ago. I 55 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: guess it was. I have a friend in Southern Illinois. 56 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: He's worked with the show before. Dennis is his name. 57 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was the guy in charge of When 58 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: we were talking about how you could fly down to 59 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: southern Illinois and hang out and carbon Dalle and Marion, 60 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, and have this It's just when you land, 61 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: when you go to the Lake of Egypt, it's it's 62 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: as if you're in like Europe or something, which is 63 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: why it's Marion and Korabundal because it just fits. It's 64 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: far fancier than it gets credit for. I'm I mean, 65 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: let me tell you for my money, the Texas Roadhouse 66 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: in carbon Dalle it may as well be a five 67 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: star cuisine. I don't know why. Like people wait for Carbone, 68 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, people wait for these restaurants they wait for 69 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: you know, try and get into all these Michelin stars. 70 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: No Texas Roadhouse in Cardabundali is like nothing you'll ever 71 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: taste anyway.
