Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 2: Yep, I guess so.
Speaker 1: That's us. That's us. How you doing, I'm good?
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm okay. We were supposed to do this yesterday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you couldn't. I could, Oh you could. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I don't remember. I really honestly don't remember.
Speaker 2: It was you.
Speaker 1: What happened.
Speaker 2: I came in, yeah, to the city, and I ubered in.
Speaker 1: Oh, you wanted me to drive you home. I couldn't.
Speaker 2: It didn't. You said you were very busy, you had
Speaker 2: to make it home.
Speaker 1: You wound up getting late and I had a lot
Speaker 1: to do. I'm sorry anyway, Fine, We're never It's fine.
Speaker 1: But I thought we were recording yesterday and I wore
Speaker 1: my Iowa corn shirt because I want to talk about
Speaker 1: my corn.
Speaker 2: And oh, okay, you were just going to talk about
Speaker 2: your corn.
Speaker 1: Why what did you think I was going to talk
Speaker 1: about nothing?
Speaker 2: Nothing. Between Chip's references and the Iowa situation, everyone has
Speaker 2: to be mentioned every episode.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a situation either bull Chat or Serial Killers.
Speaker 1: I just all I wanted to talk about is how
Speaker 1: disappointing it was to nurture those corn stalks. And first
Speaker 1: of all, they only yielded six cobs, and I think
Speaker 1: that's the proper farming term yield.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and pardon me, you gotta tickle in your throat
Speaker 2: yet it And so I picked them or harvested them,
Speaker 2: and they were mediocre at best. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 2: kind of have to. There's also stuff to do with
Speaker 2: the soil.
Speaker 1: You know, we have crappy soil. Yeah. My garden is
Speaker 1: full of weeds. It's overtaken by weeds.
Speaker 2: The husks looked really good, though, like the corn itself.
Speaker 2: When you showed me your corn in your backyard, I
Speaker 2: was like, wow, that's a lot of corn.
Speaker 1: I mean, the corn looked great. It was. It was
Speaker 1: white corn, which usually would be sweet. And it's very
Speaker 1: possible that A. I didn't leave it on the grill
Speaker 1: long enough and b it was just crap corn. I
Speaker 1: mean I might have bought instead of sweet Long Island corn.
Speaker 1: I might have bought like feed corn, you know, like
Speaker 1: the stuff they give to horses and pigs and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, but I mean whatever,
Speaker 1: it was the thrill of growing my own produce.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm experimenting with bamboo right now. I have
Speaker 2: three giant bamboo plants in my parents' backyard. Yeah, they're
Speaker 2: letting me grow. I told you gotta be careful with that. Well,
Speaker 2: I hope it that be careful part comes in soon,
Speaker 2: because let me tell you something. I went from buying
Speaker 2: the things off of Etsy. It was a real sketchy
Speaker 2: guy from Florida. Yeah, he like sent me the roots
Speaker 2: that I didn't bury deep enough. Whatever, that was my problem.
Speaker 1: This time, I.
Speaker 2: Bought three giant, like already grown plants. And then they
Speaker 2: say in the five years that's when it's supposed to
Speaker 2: take off. Well, it's the second year for one, and
Speaker 2: all the original stalks are dead. So I don't know
Speaker 2: what I'm doing wrong, but I need this bamboo to
Speaker 2: take off from my personal well being.
Speaker 1: I don't want to know why, but I mean my
Speaker 1: question to you is how close is the closest neighbor
Speaker 1: Like they're not that close, okay, Because like I told
Speaker 1: you before, yeah, bamboo is incredibly reproductive and invasive. Yes,
Speaker 1: and once it takes over, you cannot get rid of
Speaker 1: it because the root systems underground just keep sprouting bamboo
Speaker 1: all over the neighborhood, and then you will be public
Speaker 1: enemy number one well, your parents will be you'll be
Speaker 1: long gone.
Speaker 2: I planted it far enough in our backyard that it
Speaker 2: would if it takes over, it goes into like the woods. Okay,
Speaker 2: it doesn't take over someone's lawn or anything. Because you
Speaker 2: could have a bamboo forest. I would love every minute
Speaker 2: of that. I don't think you understand. I went to
Speaker 2: the one in Japan. It was a spiritual experience for me.
Speaker 2: I don't know why I love bamboo so much. I
Speaker 2: know it's weird, but I just find it to be
Speaker 2: super peaceful and nice, and I've always wanted it in
Speaker 2: my own bad.
Speaker 1: I know that once you have a bamboo forest, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, panda bears will show up.
Speaker 2: I would love that too. I need that to happen.
Speaker 2: It would make me the happiest man alive. They eat
Speaker 2: the stalks are so cute when they eat the stalks too.
Speaker 2: The specific type of bamboo I grew as well as
Speaker 2: moso bamboo, which is called giant bamboo, which means that
Speaker 2: if it takes we could be seeing some seventy five
Speaker 2: foot bamboo stocks and I haven't gotten over four feet yet,
Speaker 2: so there will.
Speaker 1: Be some sort of town code violations if that happens
Speaker 1: you'll see, okay.
Speaker 2: Because in people's backyards in our area you could always
Speaker 2: tell where it is. There's like giant sections, so other
Speaker 2: people have. Other people have not this specific type of
Speaker 2: bamboo Moso bamboo, the one that I bought, I specifically
Speaker 2: bought because of how high it can go. But it's
Speaker 2: acceptable in your community. Again, I checked into the county rules.
Speaker 2: There are no rules for my specific county, and other
Speaker 2: people in our area have it, and I've always seen
Speaker 2: it and admired it.
Speaker 1: You know, you may be the person who the rule
Speaker 1: is now based on.
Speaker 2: There's no way because let me tell you something, there
Speaker 2: is someone in our development who already has bamboo in
Speaker 2: their lawn. Okay, that's taken over all right, So I'm
Speaker 2: not public enemy number one. Well, I'm proud to say
Speaker 2: there was a rule made after not me directly, but no.
Speaker 2: When I was in high school, my junior or senior
Speaker 2: I think it was my senior year of high school,
Speaker 2: there was a parking lot, but it wasn't big enough.
Speaker 2: The school parking lot was never big enough. There was
Speaker 2: a lottery for parking spaces, and if you didn't get
Speaker 2: a parking space, oh well, too bad.
Speaker 1: You're out of luck. So we would park on the
Speaker 1: side street immediately behind the school that would go all
Speaker 1: the way down. There were no houses on one side
Speaker 1: of the street, so we parked all along there. But
Speaker 1: the neighbors were not having it. They were pissed, and
Speaker 1: after probably three or four years of them complaining, they
Speaker 1: finally put up no parking school day sign So right
Speaker 1: our grade after us got screwed, we were good. We
Speaker 1: parked there, and then the following year they put up
Speaker 1: no parking signs. So, wow, I would I contributed to
Speaker 1: be the cause of that. I've had rule changes because
Speaker 1: of me. Yeah, I've had two or three of them. Actually, wow.
Speaker 1: Do tell So in.
Speaker 2: High school I wasn't great at a lot of things.
Speaker 2: I pretty much scammed my way through high school.
Speaker 1: Me too high five.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So in high school I didn't get into physics
Speaker 2: so you could take marine biology instead, so I did.
Speaker 2: I took marine biology. There is an extra credit policy.
Speaker 1: You told me this. I didn't understand it, so.
Speaker 2: This was the It was a dumb policy, and I
Speaker 2: took advantage of it. You could bring in as many
Speaker 2: articles as you wanted.
Speaker 1: Like newspaper clippings, yes, okay, or.
Speaker 2: I mean we had internet at the time, so I
Speaker 2: would just type in like.
Speaker 1: Fish, what'spaper?
Speaker 2: I would type in like fish, and then I would
Speaker 2: just you had to summarize the article, and you would
Speaker 2: get one point per article. So I would bring in
Speaker 2: at least five to ten articles per day, and then
Speaker 2: all those extra credit points. I would just fail every test,
Speaker 2: like literally, I would just put write my name and
Speaker 2: hand it in. And because I would get at least
Speaker 2: fifty extra credit points a week, I basically just passed
Speaker 2: the entire class and didn't have to take the final
Speaker 2: because I had that much racked up.
Speaker 1: So why wasn't everyone doing this?
Speaker 2: Again? No one was thinking, like me, if there's a loophole,
Speaker 2: I find it and I expose it.
Speaker 1: Well, don't expose well, first take advantage of it, then
Speaker 1: expose it when you don't need it.
Speaker 2: I ran that sucker to the ground. They changed it
Speaker 2: after me. You were only allowed to bring in one
Speaker 2: article per week because I guess they figured why was
Speaker 2: people bringing in Like just think about it. In one week,
Speaker 2: I was getting fifty two one hundred extra credit points.
Speaker 1: And that's just one week. That's insane. Yeah, you would
Speaker 1: think the teacher would be like something's not right here.
Speaker 2: I don't think she realized it until we were taking
Speaker 2: like it was time for finals, and I think she
Speaker 2: went back to her great book and saw like, oh,
Speaker 2: he got a thirty two.
Speaker 1: On this test.
Speaker 2: He like didn't do this homework or he didn't do
Speaker 2: that homework. And then all of a sudden, it was like,
Speaker 2: but yet he doesn't have to take it because he's
Speaker 2: like the number one student in the class.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm just realizing you moved my entire
Speaker 1: trash pile there, and now it's a bigger mess than
Speaker 1: it was. I don't see it underneath your computer. You
Speaker 1: dragged all my garbage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I needed it.
Speaker 1: But I had a pile of garbage and now it's
Speaker 1: strewn everywhere.
Speaker 2: Whatever I can really oh, I also had to change. Sorry,
Speaker 2: just one more.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: When I was I went to three different colleges and
Speaker 2: I transferred it each one, and my goal going into
Speaker 2: college was always to graduate early. By the time I
Speaker 2: got to University of Miami, I had taken way more credits.
Speaker 2: But University of Miami was trying to tell me that no,
Speaker 2: I did not take this many credits. I printed out
Speaker 2: an entire booklet that said no, he did take these
Speaker 2: courses and had my teachers from past schools also write
Speaker 2: letters for me, and I got every single credit transferred.
Speaker 2: They changed that policy after schools.
Speaker 1: Some schools don't transfer.
Speaker 2: Credits no, but I made them so again. If I
Speaker 2: if I'm told no, I like to say, but how
Speaker 2: much of like a solid note is it? Because if
Speaker 2: I could figure out how to sneak my way, and
Speaker 2: that's why you would be a millionaire on Survivor. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much, Scotty.
Speaker 1: Yes, I do you know. I have to say, I
Speaker 1: do agree with the fact that you would be wonderful
Speaker 1: on that show. I know that I've ribbed you a lot.
Speaker 1: I should have been wearing my Survivor needs Andrew shirt
Speaker 1: today thinking I did see it in my closet. I
Speaker 1: was going to, but I didn't.
Speaker 2: But it's fine, at least as song as you still
Speaker 2: have it.
Speaker 1: Now we're watching Michelle's season thirty two whatever it is,
Speaker 1: because we never I honestly don't like the show, but
Speaker 1: we started watching it and it's kind of okay. Like
Speaker 1: Cooper was like, oh my god, is Caleb dead, you know,
Speaker 1: like it was it was. It's okay. It's an okay, show,
Speaker 1: and I think that you would do great on it.
Speaker 1: I really do, because you would out smart and outwit
Speaker 1: and outlast I think again.
Speaker 2: But the thing is I have stupid strength because let
Speaker 2: me tell you something this last week and I went rafting.
Speaker 2: Guess who's the only idiot rafting in the whole boat? Me?
Speaker 1: I saw any picture?
Speaker 2: Me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's and that's difficult, by the way, totally side note.
Speaker 1: In last week's episode of Bowl Chat, yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 1: some people noticed it was a little bit choppy. There
Speaker 1: was something wrong with our recording thing over there, and
Speaker 1: there were glitches in it, so it was skippy right
Speaker 1: around the blink one eighty two Turque eighty two explanation part,
Speaker 1: so you may not understand what was going on. I
Speaker 1: mentioned a Hall and Oates concert and you didn't hear that,
Speaker 1: And you know, people are like, why did you cut
Speaker 1: stuff out? There was nothing cut out.
Speaker 2: That's why the video couldn't be uploaded because there's giant
Speaker 2: splotches in between that. To cut it, it's just annoying.
Speaker 1: So you had all the all the video, but not
Speaker 1: all the audio.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so I have to cut it at specific
Speaker 2: parts and then it's resinking your voice every time and
Speaker 2: it's annoying.
Speaker 1: Got it, But you know this one New Day, New
Speaker 1: Bowl chat. Sure, let's see if this one works. I
Speaker 1: see it still rolling, but I don't know it could
Speaker 1: be jumping.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much, Scott. I hope one day
Speaker 2: you make it onto a game show, another game show,
Speaker 2: because I know you've made it.
Speaker 1: I got an email to audition for Supermarket Sweep, which
Speaker 1: that would be my show.
Speaker 2: That would be I again. If you're saying that I
Speaker 2: would win survivor you would win Supermarket Suite.
Speaker 1: I think Amy and I would be a great team
Speaker 1: on Supermarket Sweep. Yeah, because we know what the expensive
Speaker 1: stuff is. People buy dumb stuff that's not really like
Speaker 1: we could buy lots of little things that are expensive.
Speaker 1: People throw the big hamhocks and giant things of a
Speaker 1: detergent and they waste all their space. Go down the
Speaker 1: Health and Beauty eight aisle. That stuff ten fifteen twenty
Speaker 1: dollars a package your box and you can throw I.
Speaker 2: Think a clearer still is like fifteen bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well no it's not. But I get it what
Speaker 1: you're saying. Thanks Scott, No problem, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: just I never there must be some kind of rules
Speaker 1: that we don't know about, because people just like grab
Speaker 1: one thing, Like I would take my arm and just
Speaker 1: go like this and take the entire shelf of Health
Speaker 1: and Beauty as because that's where all the expensive stuff is.
Speaker 2: That's like one of my biggest dreams in life would
Speaker 2: be to like get like a shopping spree someplace. I
Speaker 2: like a couple of years ago, there was that y
Speaker 2: one hundred shopping event that the show did, The Morning
Speaker 2: Show did, and the person they said went to the
Speaker 2: mall and just literally put their arm out and was
Speaker 2: just taking entire shelves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the way to do it. You don't just
Speaker 1: go what I like this, No, when it's a time limit,
Speaker 1: you grab it. You can't worry about it afterwards.
Speaker 2: The closest I got to that was when the Toys
Speaker 2: r Us in Times Square was still here and Elvis
Speaker 2: would let us do the Toys for Tot's thing. That
Speaker 2: truly I had so much fun, right, had some childhood
Speaker 2: like glee because that was legit going into a toy
Speaker 2: store seeing an entire thing of dolls and then being like, well,
Speaker 2: this is about like, you know, two hundred dollars done
Speaker 2: into the court. That was so much fun.
Speaker 1: It's always fun when you're using someone else's money.
Speaker 2: Yes, yea, truly nothing better.
Speaker 1: Oh love that. Okay, Well that store's gone and now
Speaker 1: it's a Krispy Cream I think right, No, it's a gap.
Speaker 1: It's a gap.
Speaker 2: That's a gap.
Speaker 1: I think it's a gap.
Speaker 2: Now there's a ferris wheel, and I don't know if.
Speaker 1: The ferris wheel still there.
Speaker 2: I hope there's not.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Jeans kakis, boxer shorts. That sucks too big.
Speaker 2: Of a gap. Yeah, I don't think they took the
Speaker 2: whole store. I mean Time Square could pretty much just
Speaker 2: they divvied it up. I Time Square is too much
Speaker 2: for me. It still is too much. I haven't been
Speaker 2: up that way in quite some time, and not that
Speaker 2: I'm frightened, but I'm just it sucks because we're moving
Speaker 2: up toward that way next year, right the radio stations
Speaker 2: are and I don't know, man, I don't like Midtown there,
Speaker 2: I said it. I just don't like Midtown. I like
Speaker 2: it down here. It's quiet. You could go for a
Speaker 2: walk and it's like calm up there. It's like you open,
Speaker 2: like you get out of the studio and it's going
Speaker 2: to be just pandemonium.
Speaker 1: I don't mind being there, but the parking is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: There's so many people, it's just.
Speaker 2: Going to be terrible.
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't mind the tumult so much. It's
Speaker 1: just that it's a pain in the ask getting in
Speaker 1: the tumult tumult what's that? Well, I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: it's derivative from tumultuous. Huh, which is like craziness. It's craziness. Oh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just a lot going on that's tumultuous.
Speaker 1: Oh and I don't know. Down here is nice, but
Speaker 1: there's also not a lot going on, which is okay.
Speaker 1: But there's nowhere to eat. I mean, there are places
Speaker 1: to eat. Let mean, New York is full of places
Speaker 1: to eat, but like when we want to order breakfast
Speaker 1: at six thirty in the morning, there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of choices down here right now, you know. So, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 2: Whatever, it's just more chains up there.
Speaker 1: I'm fine.
Speaker 2: There's also great restaurants too, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm okay with chains.
Speaker 2: Listen, favorite chain restaurant go.
Speaker 1: Like not fast food, but casual dining. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have to say, California Pizza Kitchen your CPK Stan. Well,
Speaker 1: just because I'm elite, you know, and I just retained
Speaker 1: my stand is. By the way, it's just a guy
Speaker 1: that's an average Joe.
Speaker 2: No, no, not even close. Okay, a stand. Do you
Speaker 2: remember the eminem song Stan?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So do you know how that was like a crazy
Speaker 2: obsessed cycle fan. Yes, that's what a stand is.
Speaker 1: I'm not a crazy obsessed cycle fan.
Speaker 2: No, you're a CPK Stan, meaning like that's your favorite,
Speaker 2: so it could be used interchangeable.
Speaker 1: I like Cheesecake Factory a lot.
Speaker 2: Oh say no, Grand Lux Cafe. I need to get there.
Speaker 1: It Lucks is fantastic. They're sister restaurants, I believe.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I've never been to that one.
Speaker 1: Seasons fifty two also is No More, but they're not
Speaker 1: a lot of those around, And that's that's a sister
Speaker 1: with Well, it was Red Lobster, but it's not. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's no It was a sister restaurant of
Speaker 1: Red Lobster, but then they spun off the Red Lobster
Speaker 1: and it's not anymore.
Speaker 2: Seasons fifty two is a spin off of Red Los.
Speaker 1: No No, no, No, No, it was the same company. For
Speaker 1: it was Darden. It's Darden Group, but Darden got rid
Speaker 1: of Red Lobster. So what they're a big company that
Speaker 1: owns fifty two I believe it's still Darden, but Darden
Speaker 1: got rid.
Speaker 2: Of Red Lobster, which also owns what.
Speaker 1: This don't put me on the Chilies? Maybe? No? Is
Speaker 1: it Chilies?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: No, it's Bahama Breeze. There's a there's a yeah, love
Speaker 1: Bahama bres. There's a few. There's a few of them
Speaker 1: that Darden is in the Darten umbrella. I forget what
Speaker 1: they are. It's I don't think it's I don't think
Speaker 1: it's Chili's.
Speaker 2: Bahama Breeze is a very underrated chain.
Speaker 1: Well, there aren't too many of them around. I don't
Speaker 1: think of every The one time we wanted to go,
Speaker 1: they went out of business.
Speaker 2: The black bean burger at Ahamad Breeze is so freaking good,
Speaker 2: and they also have the fish bowl drinks that you
Speaker 2: could split with friends. I don't think you can anymore covid.
Speaker 2: But before that, their black bean burger is delicious.
Speaker 1: I think Olive Garden is Darden.
Speaker 2: Also see that one not a fan went once?
Speaker 1: Me too.
Speaker 2: Ever need to go to I mean I went once
Speaker 2: or twice and like, this stuff is frozen. It's just
Speaker 2: not it's not good.
Speaker 1: If the breadsticks are okay, but they're not sp the
Speaker 1: cheddar Bay biscuits at Red Lobster, that's the stuff right there,
Speaker 1: worth it, and in the mix in the store is
Speaker 1: nothing even close to it.
Speaker 2: I haven't done that one.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: It's not even Yeah, Okay, Chili's will always be my
Speaker 2: like one of the favorites. Hula Hands.
Speaker 1: Also really low baked potato soup from where Hula Hands.
Speaker 2: I've never had that.
Speaker 1: Shut the hell up. That's a staple there. It's like
Speaker 1: not getting spinach dip at Houston's. So no matter what, I.
Speaker 2: Don't even know what Houston's is, I have to go.
Speaker 2: What's Houston's. What what's Houston's. We've been there, we have Yeah,
Speaker 2: when Houston's fall off the bone, ribs spin a chart
Speaker 2: to choke dip. I've never been to use in the city.
Speaker 1: It's called Hillstone. It's Hillstone Group and they own Hillstone
Speaker 1: and Houston's. Have never been to Houston Trust me, when
Speaker 1: you were in Florida, you've been to Houston's as a show.
Speaker 1: We went to Houston's.
Speaker 2: I promise you on everything in my life. Okay, I
Speaker 2: have not been to Houston's. I would like to go.
Speaker 1: That's fine. If you have a Houston's or a Hillstone
Speaker 1: near you, go and get the spinach dip, even if
Speaker 1: it's fifty miles away, go and get it.
Speaker 2: I was never a spinach charter choke fan. Me neither,
Speaker 2: And until I said that, I'm like, I can't know
Speaker 2: who makes a good one. Don't even tell me they
Speaker 2: don't Costco. No Costco makes a delicious one.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's really good, but I will say that nothing
Speaker 1: compares to Houston's. I've had plenty of other spinach charter
Speaker 1: choke dips that were all copies of Houston's, by the way,
Speaker 1: but nobody's is like theirs. And we went to the
Speaker 1: night that they closed New Year's Eve in like twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: There was one of Roosevelt Field Mall out by me,
Speaker 1: and we somehow got in on New Year's Eve like
Speaker 1: and people were pissed because it was the last night
Speaker 1: they were open, and everybody wanted to be there, and
Speaker 1: there were guys yelling. I felt so bad yelling at
Speaker 1: the hostess and the servers screaming, cursing, bloody murder. But
Speaker 1: we got in and uh it was a very sad night.
Speaker 2: That's interesting. And this is why I wish we could
Speaker 2: have callers on this show because I would love to
Speaker 2: know as a server, not a server, a host.
Speaker 1: A host or hostess.
Speaker 2: Yes, a little cupcakes. Can it be a little flexible?
Speaker 2: Like meaning if do you have some tables on standby?
Speaker 2: I feel like they do on your touch screen thing
Speaker 2: be like and then all of a sudden, like people
Speaker 2: could just walk in.
Speaker 1: You mean for VIPs like you?
Speaker 2: I mean I was a host. I was a host
Speaker 2: at a Japanese restaurant for two weeks. I got a job.
Speaker 2: Everybody in high school had a job except me, and
Speaker 2: so I was like, oh, I'm going to get a job.
Speaker 2: Start off saying that I had weight waiter experience. I didn't.
Speaker 2: So they quickly learned that and they kept me on
Speaker 2: as a host. And then I was like, actually, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna need to take off the next month because you know,
Speaker 2: it's my senior year of high school.
Speaker 1: Never came back, never went back. You as a waiter
Speaker 1: would remind me of that video I showed you from
Speaker 1: sesame Street. Remember the chef that stood at the top
Speaker 1: of the steps with all the cakes to fix your
Speaker 1: camera lemon meringue, pause, and then he would go six
Speaker 1: five four three two, you know, and he would fall
Speaker 1: down the steps.
Speaker 2: This is going to be discussing, but I'm going to
Speaker 2: admit to it anyway. When I would pick up the
Speaker 2: miso soup, I didn't have.
Speaker 1: Your thumb was in it, wasn't it?
Speaker 2: Yes, ugh it was. I was a bad waiter. I
Speaker 2: didn't know how to like. I just wasn't good. It
Speaker 2: just wasn't good for me. And being being a host
Speaker 2: was fun because I still got to use the computer.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to use the computer and input orders.
Speaker 1: I like that, I get it. The only food service
Speaker 1: I was ever in is I worked in a bagel store.
Speaker 1: And I think I've been through this story on here
Speaker 1: and so I don't need to tell it again. But
Speaker 1: I worked in a bagel store. That's all. I baked bagels. Oh.
Speaker 2: I always thought bagels. I didn't know they were deep
Speaker 2: fried or fried. They're not boiled, boiled, oiled boiled, they're boiled.
Speaker 2: And then most if you do it right, I thought
Speaker 2: they were fried. They're boiled.
Speaker 1: That was it fried.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know why, just it was. It was
Speaker 2: a me thing.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, No, they're they're boiled in a big vat
Speaker 1: of hot water where you get many many burns in
Speaker 1: your face, especially when you put your face over it.
Speaker 1: You're not supposed to do that. And yeah, so we
Speaker 1: would bake one side of them and then put the
Speaker 1: toppings on because it would stick to the side that
Speaker 1: was like still a little bit wet, and then put
Speaker 1: them back in flip them over. That's yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: just saying into it.
Speaker 2: Okay, I love bagels, you.
Speaker 1: Know, and I don't like everything seasoning that has salt
Speaker 1: because sometimes it's too salty.
Speaker 2: Same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, some places make it both ways. Yes, which seems
Speaker 1: like a lot of effort.
Speaker 2: But good New York and New Jersey really do have
Speaker 2: the best bagels, like Bar None New York, New Jersey,
Speaker 2: New York the place by me legit has the best
Speaker 2: bagels I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 1: Okay, well you haven't had Long Island bagels, then.
Speaker 2: I have when I was in the Hampton's not Hampton's
Speaker 2: Greenport area, not out there.
Speaker 1: Remember when I used to bring you Bagel Boss bagels
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh everything.
Speaker 2: Swberry cream cheese. Though, yeah, next time I come in,
Speaker 2: can you bring those? I guess I have to get
Speaker 2: up a little bit earlier and drive a little bit further.
Speaker 1: But for you all do it, I.
Speaker 2: Get you coffe So sometimes when I come in, yeah.
Speaker 1: But you don't have to get up earlier to get
Speaker 1: me coffee. You just have to add it to the order.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, so you're making seem like I do nothing.
Speaker 1: Didn't say that, but I like, I have to step
Speaker 1: my alarm fifteen minutes earlier, and then I have to
Speaker 1: go in because there's only like one person working at
Speaker 1: four o'clock in the morning, and I have to hope
Speaker 1: that there's not some big slob there ordering eighteen sandwiches. Yeah,
Speaker 1: can I get a bacon and on? No way? And
Speaker 1: also I'm like, god, I just want one thing.
Speaker 2: Well, I've been trying to go to Krispy Kreme in
Speaker 2: Jersey City that opens at five am. It opens at
Speaker 2: five am. I've been there in the five o'clock hour before.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's been going on, but every time
Speaker 2: I go to get these Krispy creams for Nate because
Speaker 2: he's requesting Krispy Kremes. I get there and the guy
Speaker 2: looks at me. He's literally just toodling around on the inside,
Speaker 2: doing absolutely nothing in the five o'clock hour there and
Speaker 2: puts up six o'clock. And then I point to the
Speaker 2: door that says five o'clock, and then he says, six o'clock.
Speaker 2: Why does your door say five? Why does online say five?
Speaker 2: Why can I place an order right on the thing?
Speaker 2: And then you're closed?
Speaker 1: But in his defense, they're probably short staffed. He could
Speaker 1: be the baker, not the seller, you know. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, if it says five, they should open at five.
Speaker 1: I totally get it. When I opened a store.
Speaker 2: And get there, Yeah, like, I'm not getting there at
Speaker 2: the crack dawn. Maybe I should be there, although that
Speaker 2: would be kind of terrifying. And he's standing outside with
Speaker 2: him walking in, Hey, can I get some donuts?
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's happened, and you know, back to my
Speaker 1: seventeen sandwiches. Guy like, thank God for the duncan app
Speaker 1: This is not an ad, but have ads. I would
Speaker 1: leave my I would leave my house at six at
Speaker 1: four to ten in the morning, leaving myself an extra
Speaker 1: two minutes because normally I leave at four twelve, and
Speaker 1: you know, I would go to the Duncan and I
Speaker 1: would just medium milk and sugar and it would take
Speaker 1: me thirty seconds, pay whatever, and I would just pray
Speaker 1: that there wasn't that guy in front of me that's
Speaker 1: ordering like, you know, four English muffins, bacon, egg and cheese,
Speaker 1: and oh can I also get a kulata and make
Speaker 1: this one? Like I'm like mine will literally take fifteen
Speaker 1: seconds for the guy to do and there's one person working,
Speaker 1: and it's so frustrating, and I just leave and have
Speaker 1: no caffeine for the morning.
Speaker 2: I mean that to me also is why I'm not
Speaker 2: a big Starbucks fan. I feel like Duncan again, not
Speaker 2: nad hashtag, Okay, you still don't have sponsors, good enough,
Speaker 2: but I feel like at a Duncan, what am I
Speaker 2: getting coffee? Simple? Plain and simple? Like maybe you'll spice
Speaker 2: it up. They have some cold foam, but you're not
Speaker 2: going there for like some chai mocha.
Speaker 1: Not really. They're trying, They're trying, they.
Speaker 2: Try, but again it's just a quick pump and it's like,
Speaker 2: ye take it. Starbucks is like, can I have an
Speaker 2: iced juju bean coconut? Milk with like a sprinkle of
Speaker 2: graham cracker. Also, can it be like with skim phone?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, a splash of almond milk?
Speaker 2: Yes, a splash as you like to say.
Speaker 1: No, I don't like.
Speaker 2: To say, oh, yeah, well a splash, which I also
Speaker 2: despise that word as well. But yeah, it takes forty
Speaker 2: six hours and then what do I get?
Speaker 1: A seventeen dollars coffee?
Speaker 2: That's it? Yeah, I hate it.
Speaker 1: Starbucks is not my thing. They do have this yogurt
Speaker 1: thing that I like. Berries. It's got berries and almonds
Speaker 1: and coconut and stuff. And I looked at the nutrition facts.
Speaker 1: Should probably not have that or maybe once in a
Speaker 1: long while, especially since right now Andrew go ahead and
Speaker 1: make fun of me.
Speaker 2: I'm not because I did a juice cleanse.
Speaker 1: But I started slim Fast yesterday.
Speaker 2: Great, and I've done it probably I don't know five
Speaker 2: times in my entire life.
Speaker 1: I remember doing it in high school. One time. It
Speaker 1: was old school with big heavy metal cans and a
Speaker 1: pull tab on it.
Speaker 2: I remember the slim Fast cans.
Speaker 1: There was Timuless Sword of Days who who? And yeah,
Speaker 1: so I do it every one every I don't know
Speaker 1: five to ten years and I'll bang off like six
Speaker 1: to ten pounds in two weeks. And look, I just
Speaker 1: want to get out of the club. I wouldn't need
Speaker 1: to get out of the two hundred club again. And
Speaker 1: when I started, I was two o three. This morning
Speaker 1: I was two two. So if I go down a
Speaker 1: pound a day, that'd be spectacular. You know, shake for breakfast,
Speaker 1: shake for lunch, and a sensible dinner. But yeah, well no,
Speaker 1: you're you're allowed too snacks. It says it on there.
Speaker 1: I know. So this morning I had a cliff bar.
Speaker 1: That was a snack. That's fine, protein bar. It's okay.
Speaker 1: And I'll have, you know, a big cup of cherries
Speaker 1: when I get home. Yeah, it's great, or a nectarine.
Speaker 1: I'm supporting you during If I want some fuzz, I'll
Speaker 1: have a peach. I'm I'm supporting you in this journey.
Speaker 1: You know what I haven't had yet this whole summer. Plum.
Speaker 1: I love plums so much. I love plums too, but
Speaker 1: every time I go. First of all, like they say
Speaker 1: red plums, but I don't think they mean the flesh
Speaker 1: because I like red, red, red, like I want the
Speaker 1: flesh to be red. The yellow ones are okay, but
Speaker 1: I love when it's red inside, the deep red.
Speaker 2: Sweet love that. Again. The problem is I eat these
Speaker 2: foods and then it really does. You could ask SHACKI
Speaker 2: the last time I had a plumb, we were playing
Speaker 2: a board game and my eyes by the end of
Speaker 2: it were like this, and it was like, everything's fine,
Speaker 2: everything's fine. I'm just gonna go to bed, and.
Speaker 1: It's just way. Whether it's regular hydrated fruit or dehydrated
Speaker 1: fruit doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Dehydrated fruit just makes it all scratchy. If I actually, like,
Speaker 2: if you had a plum right now, and even if
Speaker 2: you washed it, I don't do well with the skin.
Speaker 1: Ever. How about a prune.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've ever had a prune. No,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Do you know what a prune is? No to dried plum?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I've had a prune.
Speaker 1: Okay. I mean it's notorious for making old people poop,
Speaker 1: that's right. Yeah, you know, we not old people.
Speaker 2: But I had prune juice when I was having some
Speaker 2: digestivisions years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I guess prunes are associated with old people,
Speaker 1: but you don't have to be old to eat them.
Speaker 1: They're a fun snack anyway. They make them even in
Speaker 1: single served packages. Have you seen those mouth sunsweet ones? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're coming little individually wrapped prunes you just throw
Speaker 1: in your bag and take with you to go prune. Sure,
Speaker 1: why not? I love that.
Speaker 2: I also like figs, love figs. I am not a
Speaker 2: fan of figs. I don't like fig spread or fig
Speaker 2: jelly or fig anything. Well.
Speaker 1: I don't even like fig newtons.
Speaker 2: Our family farm in Italy they like make figs. They
Speaker 2: make them, well, the trees do, so they have fig farms.
Speaker 2: And then Minona does like this special thing with the figs.
Speaker 2: And when we get them, oh my god, they're so
Speaker 2: freaking good.
Speaker 1: What does she do with them?
Speaker 2: I don't know what she does with these, but she'll
Speaker 2: like come over with like a bag of figs that
Speaker 2: I don't know, Maybe she like can't I don't know,
Speaker 2: if she candies them something, but they're delicious.
Speaker 1: Let me backtrack for a second. I say I don't
Speaker 1: like figs. I've really never tried anything with fig just
Speaker 1: because I don't. I think I don't like it. I
Speaker 1: think I don't like it. Well, like for example, So
Speaker 1: again not sponsoring this, but we've been making the Hello
Speaker 1: Fresh mules. Yeah, and there's one that is chicken with
Speaker 1: fig balsamic sauce or something like that. Delicious to me. See,
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't like balsamic, I that I know,
Speaker 1: but the fig may cancel it out. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I don't. Maybe I'll just try it
Speaker 1: and suck it up.
Speaker 2: I have a giant aversion to vinegar. I hate the
Speaker 2: smell of vinegar. I hate the taste of vinegar. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I can always sense it, and I hate it so
Speaker 2: so much. Not a I hate when people clean with
Speaker 2: white vinegar. Like I don't know, I can walk into
Speaker 2: a room and immediately just walk right out. I just
Speaker 2: can't do it. Yeah, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: I just can't.
Speaker 1: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not good.
Speaker 1: But and I just don't like balsamic on salad. I
Speaker 1: need a creamy dressing for the most part.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The only dressing it doesn't have to be creamy is
Speaker 1: is there's a Caesar dressing that Fifer makes. Is it Fifer? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't even know if that company is still in business,
Speaker 1: but it was a salad dressing company, Fiffer, and they
Speaker 1: had Caesar and it wasn't creamy. It was like almost
Speaker 1: italiany oily with like stuff in it.
Speaker 2: I just do olive, oil and salt if I don't
Speaker 2: have anything with salad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a rancher or caesar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, caesar is always good. I love Greek salads though.
Speaker 1: No feta or olives for me, so I'm out.
Speaker 2: Big mistake, huge, big, huge, huge huge.
Speaker 1: Most don't like it that I know I don't like.
Speaker 1: I've tried both, and I don't like.
Speaker 2: Oh, feta, I think is one of the best cheese.
Speaker 1: We'll say everything's better with it, but it ain't.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. When it's hot and you
Speaker 2: put honey on it, all goat cheese.
Speaker 1: I don't like any of that stuff. Ever since blue cheese.
Speaker 2: Found out I was Greek, I feel a closer connection
Speaker 2: to feta cheese, and I think maybe that's why I
Speaker 2: like it so much. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember one time when I first started eating creamy
Speaker 1: dressings and I liked ranch. I was at a place
Speaker 1: to that we don't have any ranch left, but we
Speaker 1: have blue cheese, and I was like, okay, She's like,
Speaker 1: it's the same thing. I said, Okay, it's not the
Speaker 1: same thing. I don't like blue cheese dressing. I don't
Speaker 1: like blue cheese crumbles. I don't like any of that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, blue cheese, O god cheese. No, no, no, this
Speaker 2: podcasts can end right now because you will not speak
Speaker 2: on Breez's name like that. Brie is a phenomenal cheese.
Speaker 2: Everything about bree is so freaking good. I'm actually getting
Speaker 2: the huzz talking about it. I don't like it. I
Speaker 2: might go home, go to the local cheese shop and
Speaker 2: go buy some brie because it's that good.
Speaker 1: Speaking of cheese, a friend of ours just had a
Speaker 1: half wheel of Pecorino romano. Is a Pecorino romano, I guess, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yea Palmisano reggiano imported from Italy. Yeah, through some cheese importers,
Speaker 1: and we got a two pound hunk of Italy All
Speaker 1: the time I've had it before. This is not new
Speaker 1: to me. But I'm just saying it's so good that
Speaker 1: you just sit and eat hunks of it. That might
Speaker 1: be my sensible snack today? Is that sensible? It is?
Speaker 2: Actually, cheese is a big one. Cheese is pretty good
Speaker 2: if you just That's why they make them in the
Speaker 2: grocery store. The little cheese snack packs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're really.
Speaker 2: It's not bad for you. You think it's bad for you.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's bad for me. I love cheese.
Speaker 2: Have you ever done you know what?
Speaker 1: Right now? I have the hanker for a hunka I can't.
Speaker 1: You don't know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Hunk a bunk of crunch. No, it was a commercial.
Speaker 2: It was like a PSA from the eighties, a hanker
Speaker 2: for a hunk of cheese. That guy, the cheese wheel guy.
Speaker 1: I do. Actually, it was always on during like, Oh,
Speaker 1: what the hell was that show? Why can't I think
Speaker 1: of it? It's just a bill on Capitol Hill? Oh,
Speaker 1: A School of Rock, school House Rock. It was always
Speaker 1: a commercial during Schoolhouse Rock because I think the same
Speaker 1: animator they made the hanker for a hunk of guy
Speaker 1: was the Schoolhouse Rock animator. Huh so it looked very similar.
Speaker 1: That was a fun time for PSA's and commercial and stuff.
Speaker 1: Smokey Bear, they don't do them anymore, Woodsy owl over.
Speaker 1: Those guys give a hoot. Don't pollute?
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: Actually, you give a hoot.
Speaker 2: I do. I don't pollute.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: They don't do PSAs anymore. Now if they do, they're
Speaker 2: just like they done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't. They don't do fun stuff.
Speaker 2: No cartoons, I feel like, Nah, cartoons probably don't really
Speaker 2: make the point.
Speaker 1: But no, they do because I remember them as a kid.
Speaker 1: You remember that stuff?
Speaker 2: True?
Speaker 1: Be like me. You plant a tree? Right?
Speaker 2: Wait? Are you gonna put honey on your parmesan?
Speaker 1: Okay, see here's now. I love honey. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: think that's weird. Have you ever done it? I haven't, Scottie,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Parmesan and honey is truly one of
Speaker 1: the most iconic collaborative I just put it on a
Speaker 1: trisc it.
Speaker 2: No, even better because you get the saltiness of the
Speaker 2: triscke it a little bit of salty from them.
Speaker 1: I do the light salt, though, I do the lightly
Speaker 1: salted one.
Speaker 2: Scottie, please pinch of salt. Please when you go home,
Speaker 2: do yourself a favor. Parmesan trisk it, a little bit
Speaker 2: of honey.
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think all that is a
Speaker 1: sensible snack. It is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, honey isn't doing anything bad? Is it? Natural sweeteners?
Speaker 1: Andrew, I will open up the cabinet and take the
Speaker 1: honeybear and just drink it. I'll pour it into my mouth.
Speaker 2: Please, please, please, please promise me you'll have a trisk
Speaker 2: it with parmesan and honey today.
Speaker 1: Okay, I will. It sounds weird, but I'll try it.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the taste in my mouth right now,
Speaker 1: and it's just a weird It's like a salty sweet.
Speaker 1: But the cheese doesn't fit in there.
Speaker 2: Yes it does. That's the salty.
Speaker 1: No, the trisk get's the salty.
Speaker 2: The cheese is also salty. Okay, it's good.
Speaker 1: That cheese has a little bit of a crunch to
Speaker 1: it too, which is weird. What is crunching? What is
Speaker 1: in that cheese that's crunching?
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe it's been explained to me what
Speaker 2: it is before. It's there something I don't know. Basically,
Speaker 2: once you figure out that cheese is.
Speaker 1: Just mold, yeah you know. Yeah, Yeah, it's all the
Speaker 1: that's cool, it's all the same. We really talked about
Speaker 1: a whole lot of nothing here.
Speaker 2: We talked about cheeses, we talked about chain restaurants. What
Speaker 2: else did we talk about?
