WEBVTT - #225: Rim Tin Tin Job 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:08.440 Start up, start Up. Brooklyn Boys start up, Brooklyn Boys, 0:00:09.160 --> 0:00:16.120 start dat up. They're making noise data Dot up episode. 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:22.600 This is the Brooklyn Boys podcast. That's us. Yeah. I 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:26.200 like spending this hour and change with you once a week. 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.880 David Brody, Thank you Scary Jones, especially since I drove 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:34.360 you home today. Yeah, it's actually said something. I was 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:38.559 a little surprised by. What did I say? Thank you? No, no, 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.800 you you had me drive around a different way to 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:42.960 your house where I came out about a quarter of 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.519 a block away from your entrance, and I said, no, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.360 I'll drive you around. You said, no, Man, I'm good. 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.400 I appreciate the lift home. I said, no, I'll drive you. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.159 Goes Hey. I still love you. I love you man. 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.840 You don't have to drive me. So I appreciate that. God, 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.920 and I love you man at you it's not quite 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:58.920 not quite as a man, but it was. I love 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:03.000 you man, I love you man, my man. I love 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.440 you man, my man. But no, you know, if you 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.520 think about it, you you did me a huge favor 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:11.959 by taking me home, and and I didn't need you 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.759 to go loop around again and drop me in front 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.360 of my door. It's okay that I walk a couple 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.480 of steps. Plus aren't we always talking about how I 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.280 need to get more exercise? Oh? Hell yeah? So that 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.440 was it? Like goes a long way, man, It adds 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.400 up every step, adds up every step. That's right. You 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:33.960 do you measure your steps? Uh? No, No, I don't 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:37.119 take enough to measure them. They say you need ten 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:42.440 thousand steps a day to be doing something healthy with yourself, 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.679 like to be making a difference ten thousand steps a day. 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.960 And of course most people have wearable devices at this point, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.080 whether it be your phone in your pocket or your 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:55.280 watches or whatever, that measure automatically measure your steps. And 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.320 I'm embarrassed on most days to go take a look 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.480 to see how many steps I've recorded, because I know 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:04.600 that it's less than two thousand. Oh I I ventured 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.680 to guess whatever the distances from the garage where we 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:12.000 park to the front of the radio station, whatever that 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.560 is both ways. That's about all I walk. I do 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.320 a lot of sitting. I do a lot of driving. 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:20.560 If that was if you could have like a Google 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.360 Apple watch that track just sit times, that would be great. Yeah, 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.400 I'd be the winner in that category. I do a 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.839 lot of standing around in one place, that doesn't count 0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.480 as a step. Um, I take elevators not today though 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:37.160 you didn't you didn't stand today. Whether you're sitting or standing, 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.160 it doesn't really count as a step, And neither does 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:43.360 you know, taking an elevator or an escalator. No, but 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:45.440 if you're standing, you can lift your legs, you can 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:47.679 rock back and forth, you can walk a little to 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:49.040 the last, walk a little bit. You can get a 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.080 standing for four hours in the studio, I guarantee you 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.920 get at least thirty forty steps, a little back and forth. 0:02:56.040 --> 0:02:59.920 Imagine how much weight I would lose if I march 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.600 in place for four hours during the morning show those 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.760 count of steps. Yeah, but you you'd you'd start off 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.880 picking your feet up really high, and then by the 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.440 end of like the second day, you'd be lifting him 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.799 off the ground barely. And then you'd just be shuffling. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.839 You'd be like moon walking. I'd be able to trick 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.040 trick my phone if I do a little like a 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:21.040 little moon shuffle there, like little little mini baby steps. 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.720 Does that kind of steps? I could see you buying 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.560 a pendulum, you know those balls that click into each other. Yes, 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.680 I could see you putting putting your watch on one 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:30.520 of the balls and having it swing back and forth. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:31.919 I know it would throw it off, but you know 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.880 what I'm saying, like a swing, Yeah, you know. And 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:36.880 I have a small apartment, so I don't take many 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:40.000 steps from my bed to my shower, to my kitchen 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.160 to my door. So yeah, I'm stop fucked. I don't 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.360 I don't have. You know, pretty soon we're gonna be 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.240 faced with doing I guess, a little bit more walking, 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.920 I guess, because when we move, we move offices. We 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.280 got the memo today from our boss, the big Boss, 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.520 that this is gonna become a reality. I never thought 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.360 it was gonna be real until I saw it on 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.320 paper in an email. And now a company wide email 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:08.000 went out that the move is gonna happen and they're 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.000 giving us concrete dates. Well, this is this is our 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:15.440 third move. Yeah, from from where we both started. We 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:19.760 moved from the old original studios that were built in 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.560 the eighties. Then we moved in two really nice studios 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.440 with a view of Manhattan from right on the water 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.960 in Jersey. And then we moved in two thousand eight, 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.119 so that studio, the first studio, which which lasted sixteen years, 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.280 that was the Caucus studio. Then the second studio lasted 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.640 nine years, which seemed like a long time at that time. 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.599 Lasted nine years, and we've been in this studio. It'll 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.839 be fourteen and a half years. Wow, that we're in 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:49.120 this studio. Well, I'm gonna miss it because I love 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.600 downtown living. I love the downtown Manhattan. It's almost like 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.599 most people would say that it doesn't even feel like 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.920 what you know Manhattan to be. A lot of people 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:01.760 have this idea of Manattan if you even if you 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.880 don't if you come here once every three or four years, 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.360 the hustle and bustle at the Times Square and all that, 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.000 we don't get that. Where we are right now, we're 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.960 very lucky. We feel like it feels like we're in 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.240 the outer Borough. In fact, if you walk two blocks, 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.039 you're on tree lined streets again, and it's like you 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.600 could be in Queens where we got a little bit 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.720 of hustle but not a lot of bustle. But we're 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:25.920 moving to midtown. We're moving to the hustle in the bustle. Yeah, 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.520 we have to switch tunnels. We've been going through the 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:34.080 Holland Tunnel for many, many years, and now we're gonna 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:37.200 be going through the Lincoln Tunnel, which is uptown Midtown. 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.839 It's almost like, uh, it's almost like divorcing your wife 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.040 and getting a new one. It's gonna be weird because 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.840 you're gonna be in a new tunnel. I don't know 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:48.640 where you you live, slices where you know, wherever you are. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.560 But our city, New York, Manhattan was built in the 0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.599 eight hundreds, a lot of it. And the Holland Tunnel 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.800 I believe was built don't tweet me about it, but 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.640 late eighteen hundreds, maybe right at the end of the 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.400 eighteen hundreds, and it was originally built for horses and carriages. 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.960 So there's only two lanes, two lanes in each direction, 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.640 which is not a lot for the you know, arguably 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.640 the biggest city in the world, the most crowded, one 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:18.440 of the most crowded cities, and we need like four 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.039 lanes is too. So the Lincoln Tunnel in Midtown, which 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.520 we're gonna switch to, has a lot more tubes, there's 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:30.359 more entryways, there's more lanes, and yet it's still packed 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.599 all the time. There's no way around it. But the 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:35.040 tunnel we go through what a ship show most of 0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.040 the time. If you don't get out of Manhattan by 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.279 one o'clock, you're dead. You're not getting out. But the 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.159 one thing that I'll tell you is it's so much closer. 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.280 I would rather put up with this every single day 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:46.960 for the rest of my career. That you have to 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.200 go where we're gonna be going now, it's gonna it's 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.159 gonna murder. It's murder. It's gonna add halfte yeah, half 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.440 hour to mind too, maybe twenty minutes minutes. That's what 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.719 I'll traffic. That's what i'll traffic. That's in the morning, 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.560 that's at four thirty in the morning when we're driving. Well, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.359 I looked it up and I'm looking at maps, and 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:07.000 I can tell you that it's still the same. It 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:11.280 actually is much easier. On paper. It looks like the 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.720 shortest point Wait, what do they say, the shortest point 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.840 between the short in the straight line. So if you 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.360 do that, we should be going through the same Holland 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.960 Tunnel and not using the Laked tunnel because it's gonna 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:28.440 only add time, at least for me, I have ways 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:32.360 around it. Well whatever, yeah, anyway, don't that you you 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.200 know what they should have asked us what we thought, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.200 but they did not know. Hey, Brooklyn boys, what should 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.600 the company move to? Well, you know, hundreds of employees, 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.320 you know, keep it where it is would have been good. 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.440 Okay with that. So if you've ever been through a 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.040 big move in your company, would you have to pack 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.240 up boxes and label everything and hope everything shows opt 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.080 to unpack it and get this? We saw the memo, 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.600 So not us because you know, we have studios and 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.200 we have we have desks by the studios. Everybody else 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.600 got the memo. They're not gonna have death asks. No, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.280 they're gonna and they make move to a reservation system. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.800 But for now, it's just gonna be first come, first, 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.200 first come, first serve with casinos. Yeah, just like that. No, 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.520 it's gonna be first come, first serve. And so I'm 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.360 not gonna be in a desk. I need a desk. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:16.840 You have to put in like a request for a 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.880 desk so you'll be in your office. Because the salespeople, 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:22.640 like the accounting executives, they don't come in every day. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.560 They don't, not a lot of them, like they're always 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.040 out on calls. They work from home. So they're like, oh, 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.320 why should we put a hundred desks for that the 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.760 most will have fifteen people every day. You know. You 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.040 know what that does though, It allows you to not 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.520 move into a personal space and call your own and 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.200 start cluttering the place up. So that means since everyone 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.960 is gonna be basically like a gypsy or a vagabond 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.560 or traveling, you can't you can't say that I just 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.720 did fuck you. I'm gonna say I'm kidding. You can't 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.199 don't snow, don't you know? You can say gypsy, I 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.559 forgot you. People don't like when you say jipped. You 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.680 can say gypsy sorry going Yeah, well, well you're gonna 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.840 be like, uh, you know, traveling nomad will call. But 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.800 isn't that It isn't a little depressing when you can't 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.000 have like, you know, a bobble head or picture, see 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.480 a family, you know, something that says like, oh this 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.240 is where I work. That's gonna be personally I feel 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.000 that way. Yes it's sad, but but the company doesn't 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.120 want it that way. If you look at look at 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.920 these big spaces, these companies I guess like like Google 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:25.200 and Facebook and whatever and wherever you work, these modern, 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:30.760 ultra modern, sleek looking technology centers, they have like state 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.560 of the art ship and things are very plain and 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:38.240 very minimalist and very simple colors, and they don't they 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.080 don't need people, you know, moving into a home and 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:43.920 turning it into a pigstye, because let's face it, most 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:46.440 people that have a desk that they move into an office, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:50.840 they do turn it into It becomes um a collector 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:55.640 or hoarder of things. Over time, and especially with with 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:57.960 the industry that we're in, where we get these provo 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.319 items and ship we don't want to throw stuff away 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.040 or part with it, so it gets cluttered. Look at 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.440 Daniell's desk for the Big Show. Look at our entire 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:10.160 bullpen where the collection of our morning show desks, years 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.599 of clutter, fourteen years of clutter in that fucking room 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:15.960 of all your desks combined, I don't have a desk 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.320 in there, And I gotta say, it's all memorabilia and 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.440 crap that we've gotten that we've neglected to throw away 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.560 over the years. That's not gonna happen when the desk 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.240 doesn't belong to you full time. You have a desk, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.840 I'm talking about everybody else. I'm having a desk.

Whatever some stupid stat well, boom 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:38.240 is Benjamin Steakhouse prime because they got prime cuts available? 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.280 So boo yah. So yeah, so we are going to 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.600 have a meet up. That's m e A t up. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:47.080 This is the Brooklyn Boys Podcast meet Up number one. 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.760 You know why because I'm foreshadowing that there'll be several 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.240 I'm hoping if this one goes well first, So so 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:58.720 right now I'm hearing that the reservations are going pretty good. Uh, 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.000 pretty well. So if you go to Benjamin Steakhouse dot 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:07.040 com slash Brooklyn Boys, it'll take you right to the 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.880 direct page where you can make a reservation. Now, they 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:13.760 are going to require credit card to make a reservation. 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.960 Can you describe what? They're not gonna charge your credit card, 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.440 but a credit card is required to hold the table 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.640 because well, you're gonna sit down and you're going to 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.760 you're gonna eat, right, I mean, isn't that what we're 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.280 doing here? It's an eat up meet up? But some 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.200 people are a little confused. Okay, the reason why you 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.880 give a credit card is to guarantee that you are coming, 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.520 because what we don't want to happen is, let's say 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.520 twenty people just go, yeah, I'm coming, and then twenty 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:45.160 people are like, oh, I can't calm my kids, sack. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.640 What happens those there are people that could have taken 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.240 those slots right right right. If you can't come, you 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:54.480 can't come. But this way, they're saying, you know what, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:56.880 if you guarantee you coming, if you're you're like, I'm 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.600 in baby, and listen. We got a couple of tweets. 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.640 They're people making flight arrangements I can't believe this. I 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:05.200 that my head around the fact that someone would want 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.440 to fly here, especially hang out for a couple of hours. 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.280 I am. I am honored by that, the fact that 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:13.880 that you want to hang out with the two idiots 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.440 from Brooklyn and you're willing to fly in drive in 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.960 bike in Hellica. It's not like we have anything planned, 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.800 like a routine or stick or a podcast. We're not 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:23.520 doing anything. We're just gonna be hanging out with you 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.000 guys and taking to pictures and having some labs and 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:28.840 walking around the tables. You left out the most important thing, 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.600 eating an amazing steak dinner. Well gets a three course 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:40.360 steak dinner at a price fix of you get three 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.760 courses in that. And we worked it out because it 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.160 was gonna be you know, it's gonna it's gonna be 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.640 a lot more than that. And it also they gave 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:51.160 us the Brooklyn Boys discount and they made it a 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:52.760 three course for the same price. They we're gonna give 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:54.440 us the two course. So we got free dessert for 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.440 everybody built into the price fix. So, but so one 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.760 of the courses is dessert, right, you guys want to 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.600 drink or eat more things like you're the men. You 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.479 will be open. They will be an old cart men. 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:07.800 You say, look, you know what, Um, I want cream, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.679 spinach and I want it browns. Okay, you got it. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.679 You want some sides, or you want the thick cut bacon. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:19.359 Maybe you want that so or you want maybe you're 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.160 a rawbart person. That's not gonna be part of the prefix. 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.159 I'm sure. But you know what you want oisons on 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.960 the hashell. If you want some shrip, you want tails, 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.440 you let yourself a party exactly and um, and then 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:33.280 the bar will be open. It will be a cash bar. 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:35.120 But I do believe you get you get a drink. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.800 You do get a drink. I believe with the I 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.160 do believe. Also there will be a Brooklyn Boys step 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:45.480 and repeat. We got our own step and repeat. People 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.600 don't know what that is. It's so it's you ever 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.879 see people walk the red carpet or walk any places 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.919 and it says like, um, uh, emmy's all over it, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.640 like every few feet, or it says like, uh, it's 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:00.560 the back wall that as logos on it, and it's 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.480 it's it's like a staircase of three or four rotating 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.879 logos and it might have a sponsor and your logo, 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.159 like your sports team, your TV show. But they call 0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:10.320 it a step and repeat because when you walk in 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:12.840 the red carpet, you take a picture, you take a 0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.800 step to your your right or your left, and you 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:17.800 repeat it. You take another picture. You don't like that 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.840 girl on TikTok. That's not why it's called that. It's 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:26.919 because it's because it's the logo repeats. Logo steps and repeats, 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.680 and it goes up on a diagonal thing. Whatever. Anyway, 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.080 so we'll be hanging out. It will be from five 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.960 pm to eight pm per person, but you get three 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:39.560 courses in there and a drink or so and and 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:43.240 then you could obviously order more a cart drinks and food. 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.199 Um now, if I could just quickly address before you, 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:49.320 and we're gonna have some I do believe we're gonna 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:51.400 have some giveaways.
