If you go in I did in the beginning, of course Yeah, if you go in there right now, okay, would you and you wanted a sandwich would you have them make it? Would you walk back and make it yourself? It depends if I was alone I actually probably just had the guy make it because we it's a one-man kitchen We don't have it, you know, and I'm probably I'm more I'm gonna make I'm gonna make it worse by going back there

Sure. Yeah, then not you know what I mean? He's back there. I'll be in there. He's sanitized Let's do it right to the protocol. What about a cocktail? Will you make your own cocktail in there? Sometimes I'll jump back You'll go back behind the bar grab a bottle if you have really Yeah, that's what I'm looking for You know, uh, sometimes yeah, and sometimes I when I'm hanging out in there I man the bar for a minute if the bartender has to run and grab something nice And I used to when we first opened I used to bartend shifts, okay, which I liked. Yeah, but but once it became a real Operating bar. Uh-huh. I couldn't do it. Sure. Not I was not equipped getting in the weeds and stuff

Yeah, yeah, but like in the beginning when it was just kind of like people coming in slowly, you know, it was all very basic I enjoyed that quite a bit Have you ever gone there after hours when it's closed down just to grab something to eat go in there and make a sandwich and go home No Those are the kind of things I'd be doing if I that's always you what's the point of having a restaurant If you don't go in in the middle of the night and eat for sandwiches you got to understand that's that's the awful Yeah, I know it's like the no, but I mean like it sounds like oh, it's a hookup. It's not it's your place Like that means you then have to clean everything up

Otherwise coming in with all this right now. I'll just go to the deli. Yeah Drink those drink, uh I've never done it with a drink either. Like I guess I I suppose I guess I'd be allowed to go into my own bar After hours and have a drink. Yeah I like the dim light on having a cigarette like castle Blanca. Yeah. Yeah, there you go There you go. I fell asleep sitting at the bar at New Year's and was sent home sent home from your own establishment Get that bum sleeping at the corner out of here. Yeah, I fell asleep Joey roses

Are people hitting you up now? Like I say you go back to Philly you go home see friends or whatever are they expecting a tray Now now when I go home sometimes my mom and dad I'll say bring some sandwiches So, okay, you know, I grab a few or whatever but but usually no charge a full price Yeah, yeah, you'd be surprised most people um Almost everybody I know Uh, when they even like they'll come in and the first thing they say is is I'm paying don't You know, they're very sure like they want to pay they want to they don't even make it assume

Like they don't even want to have to be a question. Yeah. Yeah, we've had a couple on the arm situations I don't worry. I got well, we're we're uh, we're uh, we try to do we're the type of bar We try to do a buyback for you guys been sitting there for a few That's big with us a nice buyback not a buyback sandwich, but a buyback drink Holy post it up Yeah, and our price is on three heroes already Where's the fourth? Yeah, ask him if you got a punch card

Yeah Exactly what are we doing the guys the face on his side is sleeping at the bar? Well, let me say let me tell you this um The comedy community obviously but so many people I know that coming to the city for a show Uh, what are you doing before? What are you doing after we're going down to joey roses and we're trying to sandwich? It's a fucking smash. There's a buzz baby. It's wild. Uh, I I owe the comedy community both performers and fans and

Not just performers and fans, you know agents and managers and producers You're making a superior product, you know, uh people like it and uh, yeah, it really is You know people come in and support. I'm I'm so touched by it man. It's awesome. Here's nothing but good thing This might be a controversial statement now You and I are from even a closer proximity than kevin and I you're from Montgomery county as well Yeah, and I'll say this And this isn't biased. All right. I've eaten Good amount over the country

The suburban Philadelphia sandwich is pretty fucking Top-notch. I say so There's more places down there to get a to get a good sandwich than there are new york city and having joey roses I think is a fucking smash it. Thanks, man. No, I I you know I try to keep that spirit alive, you know, we have we have our core eight sandwiches, which is the heart eight It's called it's eight sandwiches. They're eight bucks a piece. That's the menu. We started with affordable That's one of those we don't feel buybacks on sure. Yeah, two for 15. You get sandwiches down here. Uh, yeah, I think there's combo deals

I'm fucking making up deals that joey's gotta fucking joey's gotta stand behind. No, I think that is the combo deal It's a combo. Trust me. I know I was studying them in yeah, yeah Four hundred pound guys. He free, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, in fact the eight sandwich tray if you get all eight is $60 versus six this so that's still discounted. They're saving money. What do you know? That's yeah get eight sandwiches but um That core menu is very very true to the the philadelphia area hundred percent and what I grew up with um

And there's some other things that are coming soon that are also nods to philly nice But we have a couple new things that get a little Farther away. It's still under our umbrella A little farther away from the traditional philly thing because I want the guy, you know, we've great guys in our kitchen I want them to they put stuff together. I want them to be able to Were you a uh The peanut butter and jelly. Were you always chips when you were a kid? Did you put chips on him when you were a kid? Honestly, you know what? You know what made me start doing that?

was uh My friend bob when I was growing up Went through this kick a childhood friend name. Yeah, I know bobby. He's the man. Do you really bobby is related to Me by marriage. Are you serious? Yeah, so do you know that whole clan? I mean because that's a clan I know that whole squad. Yeah, his dad was my uh, cyo basketball. His dad's the man His dad's the man. We'll be back later folks Wow That's so wild. I gotta tell him about this later. I'm still in touch with bob. In fact his sister, um kim

Came to the last one was in philly. She came to the show. Fantastic. She's wonderful. Um, so but anyway So bob when I went we were in college His summer job one year. He was cutting He's cutting the lawn at the church. Okay his neighbor. That was his gig. It was a killer gig Uh, and uh, it was just one of those killer summer one. Okay, wouldn't be it was just It was just all he had to do was go sit and cut grass on the riding muller Yeah, they were by himself. That was his only job. I'm with you every day. I was like, this is a steal, dude Like what a gig but anyway, I just remember that summer. He kept telling me like

For whatever reason we don't say about would you have for lunch and he kept saying for like this one week every day He's like I did peanut butter jelly and chips again And I kept being like why You could go get a cheesesteak or whatever and he was like, I'm telling you dude, it's awesome It's awesome. So then I tried it and I was like, you're right, dude, it is good But I still wasn't convinced it was a lunchtime food And then when I was in my 20s I saw a dain I was I was watching dain cook

And he said He had a bit where the bit wasn't about this but in the bit he goes he goes I go into the kitchen I make a PB and J with potato chips and a crystal light delish Right. Yeah, it's all right. And I was like and it reminded me of Bob and I was like Oh, yeah, the chips in the PB and J and then I started doing it again And that's when I started to be like no, this is a meal And then I started to crave it and I would do it and then I just started to cut up the middle man And put the chips directly onto the PB and J and that's when I was like, oh, this is like

Yeah, it's a whole bunch level and that's the crunch. Yeah, it's a home run It's salty in the sweep. Do you put chips on everything like on most on a lot of sandwiches? No, we only have cheese at the house. I'm saying like at the house. Yeah, we have two or three at this shop that have chips on them at home Sometimes I was always big on putting chips onto ham and cheese. Of course. I love it. Um, uh That was my big one I liked putting chips on ham and cheese and I like putting I like putting chips on and then sometimes baloney and cheese I don't hate it. Yeah, but don't but not everything. No, are you a scrapple guy a little deep cut? I love scrapple. Love scrapple. Uh, I I I hope one day

We have breakfast hours at the shop because I want to I want to re-scrapple into the mix. It's funny you mentioned that because I was also thinking pre broadcast That it might be time for scrapple to make its appearance in the lunch sandwiches Now, well, I know this is crazy But I want to introduce evidence a which would be the barn. I feel like I'm in a I feel like I'm in a think tank right now Which would be a which would be a barn me sandwich The vietnamese sandwich which has a smear pattey rosa not on not on board It has a smear pattey on it. You can get away with doing something with with with the smear

But you don't want to put the scrapple vegetables on it to you. No, I'm not saying that. Okay. So, uh, maybe I'm american My buddy jordan ended the day I'm a red blooded american. All right. These colors don't my buddy jordan who shot a lot of our promo stuff. Um Uh He wanted he wanted was pushing me to a scrapple sandwich And he I I said no because I was like we only do cold sandwiches And uh, he was like, we'll do a cold scrub. I was like, that's disgusting. The series. Yeah, this is awesome Yeah, I feel like I'm a larry king. You should be smoking right now. I just picture it in black and white like a remit ring

An act and we only do cold sandwiches, but I would consider making scrapple the one hot sandwich on the menu. There you go. Yeah Yeah, I'm with him. Yeah, but anyway It's fantastic, man. That's that's the thought are you still in the same place you were when uh, when we last talked Did you get a you got a new apartment? You get an apartment above the above the shop. Did you that'd be sweet? No I'm walking distance though. Uh, which is nice almost, you know Uh, no, uh, I don't remember when we last talked. It was a while ago. That's digital You were bringing up a video you you were bringing up an arcade machine in the apartment Are you still in that same apartment? I think that might have been in brooklyn. Were you used to in brooklyn? No, no

When you guys were at gas I came in We did the show I think we did it remotely the first time we did it remotely. We did it remotely I was it was hard of the pandemic. I believe But I was bringing an arcade machine in or out No, maybe maybe one didn't fit or something There was a lot of video games in this apartment. Is that still the case? Well, that's every apartment I ever live in really I feel like I was in the place

I'm in now Okay, if you saw video games behind me on a shelf then that was my place. I'm in. Yes. Yeah. Yes There you go. Okay. All right. All right. I got a lot of video games. And where did you go to college? Kutztown University. Oh, I applied there. I almost went there actually. Did you not get in? No, I got in I got in. I didn't get into somewhere else. That's the place I went because nobody else took me. Yeah I don't have the steps of the interview. I got accepted to temple late in the game Okay, and I was like, I think I already sent my deposit to kutztown and then I got temple. I'm like, fuck that I'm going to temple. I went to temple and switched to kutztown

Oh, look at that the summer me and were you a were you a good student in high school? Uh, It was a gpa. I was a very good student. Uh, not for the first, uh, couple of years But then I pulled it out and uh, yeah, I graduated with a three point whatever I graduated college. I think what a 3.4 3.5. What was the SATs you remember Terrible. Yeah, very low Very low 980. I think maybe I might have popped I think I might have shaved up around 1100 at one point. That's pretty good. No, it's how many times you take it

All right, then I didn't get that high Yeah, 11 is great. Are you kidding me? No, then I'll be the dean of kutztown. I think I got a 980 was all right I was never good at standardized testing It was never good at anything where you had to have Uh, a wealth of past knowledge, but anything like a base. Yeah anything though that was was hands on in the In the moment, I was pretty in front of you that you could then figure out. I was pretty good at retaining that information. Okay. Yeah Not bad. Not bad. Yeah, and anything that was um, Uh, you know, I studied video production in college

Which is one of the reasons I excelled because anything I'm good at I'm decent enough at mechanical Figure in that stuff. Okay stuff, you know, like when yeah point A to point B makes a lot of sense to me Did you have a job when you graduated college? Like would you go did you enter the workforce or did you start doing comedy? Oh, no, I I played I didn't do comedy for a while. I played music And I thought that's what I was gonna do. Um, hold on back that up played music in what regard you were in a band I started playing music in the Fourth grade. Okay. What was your instrument? Well, I started playing saxophone at through the school band

Sure, you ran it for the semester or whatever. Yeah, and I I stuck with that for four years I didn't like it but I stuck with it and then in the sixth grade. I believe it was I started rapping And I did that until I was in college. Were you doing were you doing sax rap? No sax.

Yeah, there you go Hey, we found out it was the name of another band But a very different kind of band Yeah, uh, that was my first band I was in a band before that a cover band called Elmo, which I'm not very proud of but I Some dear friends that I was in that band with and then But the first band band I was in was called fancy lads. You're a hardcore band and then I is this in college Or did you play or did you sing?

If that's fancy lads I sang and where did you did you play around the Philadelphia area? Were you playing only at the grape street and all that kind of stuff? Well, when I graduated high school I left that band and I joined as a drummer in another band Called um, that was called Bernie Bernie head flap. What's the name of that band? Tell me you got pictures of this Bernie Bernie head That's insane. It was a wild name Yeah, yeah How you snickered at Elmo you're like we were in a band called Elmo and then you had Bernie Bernie mudflaps

It was of the time You know 50 cent It was of the time. I I mean, dude, I I grew I grew up in bucks County. So not too far away But at that time in junior everybody wanted to be a rapper. Yeah, it was like I can't believe any of this

I mean, this is really what I have kids that are still trying to be rap like still I was out there Obsessed with rap from third grade forward. I just I loved it. It just it grabbed me like nothing in my life ever has Uh Even stand-up comedy as much as I love it and admire it and I'm a lifelong stand-up comedy fan Uh, nothing grabbed me the way that rap did when I was a kid. I don't know what it was It was just so unlike anything I'd ever heard or witnessed or experienced. I get it. Yeah And I just wanted to be a part of it so badly and um You know you you you go through music after all those different bands

And uh all those different configurations and and whatever with people You know, my biggest thing was I just got tired of trying to work with other people I got tired of trying to convince Bookers of venues were half the time the place was empty to put my band on that we were good enough I got tired of dealing with bandmates and trying to get everybody on the same page You know Yeah, yeah, I bought you the fucking base Busted my ball, you know

You just get tired and I just and that's what attracted me to finally want to try comedy. I went when did you How old are you when you started comedy? I remember when the bug bit me. I wasn't I was I didn't start it till I was 22. I believe so you wait So hold on you did all this shit that you just said college and then year two after college At 22 you had been through the senate Fucking nine different bands eight different genres of music when I was I left this left the senate Sorry, I was asked to leave the senate. Yeah, I went into the private sector I was yeah, it's right. I think I was 20

Christ almighty man, I might have been I might have been 21 when I stopped working at the senate Yeah, that's I was only there for the session though. Okay, and it was session seven eight months. I mean, it's not like Oh, right, right. I got you Um, so I he sent it big weeks But I I was invited to stay like I was invited to stay on and be a part of The media department. It was just wasn't what I wanted to do in any way shape or form that that That experience was was a life changing for me because working in that environment is what made me lose any faith

I ever possibly would have had in a legislative system In voting Sure And also the media That's where it all changed for me and I never trusted any of those never again Any of those entities ever again Um, and that was huge for me. So you ever take any kickbacks to push a story or anything like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah story go

Yeah Somebody's kid gets a DUI get caught with coke or something this kid from Philly really plays ball It roses on the phone bury it Yeah, somebody find me example Yeah, yeah Get ex in here. Let's leave it on the road That's fucking why that's a wild tale. All right. Yeah, so But I was uh, I was in college

I was part of the student activities board So I was part of the the the committee that that got to book events at the school book. They lost soul. That was pretty cool That's pretty good.

But um, but we um, we uh Went to uh, we went to it was called NACA. It was the conference. Yeah I've been denied by them a few times

Okay winds are not I don't know what the knot's called But yeah, I know how to tie a tie and I'm also very familiar with what my friend in Texas Taught me with a vicious V Which is when you tie a regular tie Right here under the knot

I mean, I leave the house Yeah, yeah, but you know, you're serious, but you like to party. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You've been fucking casual. Yeah I definitely look at a wedding like the guy that's got a bag on him Yeah, and a two dollar bill to do that. Yeah, do that bag with I undoubtedly look like that guy at the wedding What do you usually do with a wedding? Um, coke

Jack Daniels straight up and a couple a couple key bumps Kids all class of my book big on shots at weddings big on getting a lot of people to do shots with me dancing Uh, sometimes I'll dance a little bit, but I'm usually I post up at that bar and I'm a bar siggy guy Yeah, back and forth in a parking garage. Do you break the bartender off at the beginning of the night with something nice? Keep me in your pocket. What I try to do is I try to tentpole it so like I try to throw down A 20 early. Let them know you're there coast Throw in another one coast If I want something else another one, you know, you're you're a gentleman in that in that regards

But but I am a big believer in the balance of if you're getting hooked up and you spend as much as much as much money Being courteous as you would have paid. There's no point to the fucking hook up So you got to find your balance So you're saying if somebody gives you a free round of drinks and it would have been 20 bucks And you've now feel obligated to give them the 20 bucks. I give 10. I see what you're saying You see what I'm saying? They want everybody both hands locked whatever, but it's like you still You still the point of the hook up is you're getting a little bit of a hook up, right? So, um, but um

But wedding I'm big. I'm big at getting Big as big of group of people together as I can do shots to do shots Joe, what do you do gift wise? Are you a gift or are you a cash man? Usually cash What are we talking? I say you're coming to like one of our weddings I go a hundred a pop usually for you and if you in abroad You were the lady you're saying. Yeah.

Yeah, good friend. Yeah, I might go low. Yeah, turn it up. Okay. Yeah, but yeah, I like to go money What's the most you dropped? Do you know I couldn't say but but but I couldn't say as you wouldn't because you're classy Or couldn't say because you can't remember because all the coke and booze you did at the wedding I'm gambling in that he's going back in the envelope Little bit on though What are you a cop? You're gonna have a good time here No, I gotta say though. It's like with if I was getting married I would want cash. Fuck. Yeah, like I want to be able to go get what I want in my house. Yeah

Hey, he's good in the restaurant. You're going out for a cigar It was just like it was very fluid. It was I was like, holy shit. Thanks. He looked good. You look good This guy goes out well. Yeah, I'm big on uh, I like I like uh, I like long meals. Yeah, that's that's what you were in it

He's good with a half a glass of wine in his hand something else. So it was very You executed it very well wines. Yeah, I like wine desserts for the table individual desserts What do you what do you think's appropriate? I'm I'm individual everything really? I mean, I'll do it I'll share apps and whatever. Okay. I don't hate it I'll share apps as long as we're getting our own our own entrees I hate when people want to share through the whole meal. I don't I don't like sharing entrees I don't even like don't have my what about getting an extra entree or two that everybody could pick at That's fine. Okay, but I'm saying like I you know, there's I want to I want to work on my own thing over here

We can share an app Or a couple apps. I'm not against I'm not against sharing desserts, but do you normally do dessert? Not usually I did it the other week with my parents for their anniversary. What'd you get? Well, and I shared my dad and I my mom wanted this coconut cake And my dad and I wanted we got cheesecake and chocolate cake and shared it because I couldn't decide Where was this where we at? We're in jersey. Okay steakhouse. Yeah, nice. Yeah, it was all right Yeah, it was all right. You're like an espresso at the end of the meal

Uh, I do with especially if we've been drinking did you throw down for your parents, uh dinner? Did I pay for it? Yeah. Yeah How's that was my gift that was the gift nice dinner round. Yeah. Yeah How's the how's it go if you want to you know, you want to buddy go out? And you can see it's just you till you go out to dinner Who's picking up the chat? How are you doing? Are you splitting it? It depends on who it is who it is I mean, I'm from with you guys. I'll be like, let me get this And get you a warm place to stay for tonight

Yeah No, no, but I'm I'm usually I like I I remove you know remove comedy. It's you and a buddy, you know remove any comedy dynamic or you know If you're going at one of the heavy hitters you're expecting them to pick up the check, right? I don't ever expect it's because like You know, let's put it this bit. Let's put this way I'll have less if I'm out with Sal. I'll have less guilt if he picks the check Okay, but I don't expect him to sure sure, you know what I mean But is there a slight difference in the ordering? Maybe if you're pretty sure no no no no

Because he has it. It's not like he can't cover the third glance of why no There is no in fact when I know somebody's gonna get the check to pull back a little bit I pull back and in fact, I think that's a that's a sign of garbage because you're not you feel it's it's imposter syndrome Of course, you're afraid that you will somehow overstep. Yes, of course. Yes, of course. Yeah, because the power dynamic in Yeah, we make the power dynamic in our head of like, oh, this is like it's not there It's just your buddy's like, yeah, let's go out to dinner. I'll pick up the check But it is the classy thing to do to not over order the person that's paying Say you go out to listen whatever you guys want. I'm taking care of it. It is to over in those bills

Let me get three surf and turf. That's garbage. Yeah to pull it to just to not over order the the host I think it's classy But there is a psychology involved in that being garbage. I understand what you're saying But there was also two and I joke I joke about sal I break his balls all the time about his success Even when sal Goes to pick up the I fight him on it. Like I don't I just don't I've never really felt very comfortable with that and I and I probably I and I don't say this to pat myself on the back. I say it to say that I'm garbage

Uh, I probably overly push to be like, let me give you some money Of course, I'm the guy I'm the equivalent of the sal. I'm cool with it. Give me a call. Yeah I'm the equivalent of the guy that's like, do you want gas money and you're like, what are you talking about? You know what I mean? Like so if you bum a cigarette on the street Are you are you a dollar guy? I force them. You gotta offer the dollar I force them to take the dollar and I say I don't smoke anymore. But when I did I I would say I understand where you're coming from. I understand what this It will make me feel better. So just take it and then they would go. All right, because that's just like this is for me

You're a cool dude, but a nerd like we were talking about. I hate the dress up shit I can't stand it.

I usually have a pretty hard time finding people that want to go to that sort of thing with me Yeah, don't ask me. Yeah So I'm going on solo to the star wars I just felt so bad for you right there

It's not like those are my family and friends won't speak to me. Yeah Uh-huh, but there's a there's a level of class in that being able to go to things like of course by yourself It's not make a dinner by yourself is clay's dope. It's not but it's like going to those things solo It's not like sad like oh i'm going solo. It's like i'm going to go to this thing for four hours I will be left alone And I will go up my own speed through this You never go and stay over like at a hotel and stuff.

Sometimes I'll be in the mood for that You know, I'll get like a fan breeze on me. I don't mind Not a sheet or a blanket or nothing. Sometimes you can time it right where it's not cold You're not going to get cold and you just get I get that because it feels like that's how the boogeyman gets you and I fall asleep If I do that, I'm going to sleep to to I always go to sleep to tv or something. So you do tv on when you go to sleep

It just feels like It kind of just feels like you're passing out in the middle of the day. Sure. Sure, you know, it doesn't you fall asleep with your glasses on No You take them off.

He's got that wandering eye I'm just looking see what he can get here. Uh, get at a trade show for your boba fed I got a dealer. You want to move that? Yeah. No, I uh, uh, We didn't go every year. We sometimes couldn't afford a summer vacation When we did go it was pretty simple. Our big one was disney world when I was very young big That's great. But yeah, that but that was that was it. What's very young. How young were you?

You remember third third grade? Oh, that's great. That's perfect age Um, my last one I got say you're going, you know to uh, a friend's place to sell Or whatever and having dinner like, you know, we're having people over dinner or whatever Are you going with a gift like a bottle of wine or something? And if so, I try I try to not show up empty-handed and if I do I'm very apologetic about it I don't like showing up places empty-handed Do you have like a goat? Do you ever have you ever tried to like wow somebody with the gift? You know of like, oh or if somebody even knows like a big wine guy or something, you know

Yes, kind of just be like, I'll just give me give me the $19 bottle and we'll keep it moving. I remember back we were um When I was when I was doing opi and anthony Uh pretty frequently anthony invited me to his house for his big. He had this like legendary Fourth of july party or something. It was some holiday summer, I think it was fourth of july And I like finally got the invite and I went to the store and I bought like I don't know a $30 bottle of wine like something that for me at the time was like, yeah a flag very expensive. Yeah Hey freak out when I walk in. Yeah, and I brought it and I was like, oh, this is gonna knock his socks off

This guy drinks like Budweiser's like this is come on like he's gonna be this is so nice And I brought it in and as I walked into the kitchen where he was to say hi and handed to him He was literally standing in front of a wine cellar That was just stacked Like one of those electric Sure, whatever and I was like and I just go I thought this would have been cool, but he cares And he was like laughing at me, but he was like, no, it's great man. Like he was like trying to keep a face on

Was it a dog's bowl? Yeah But yeah, I remember that like being a time that I thought like I'm gonna I'm really because that you do reach that point Especially in comedy when you're like, oh, I can I finally I finally have a couple of bucks I'm not living so poor and you're like, I want to try to be an adult that I haven't been able to be for so long Yeah, I need to try to flex of course. First time you brought a 30 rack instead of a sixer. Yeah, exactly But I mean, that's the tough thing man is is I have always had and continue to have And will continue to have uh

Many friends in this business that have reached financial heights that I have not and might never Quite frankly, and I'm okay with that. I've come to terms with it, but It's tough sometimes because you want to bring something You know, I'm not I'm not talking out of school here. It's like it's like when I lived in LA We all know that burr is very successful. Obviously And he's doing all right. Yeah, as well He's a pretty down-to-earth guy when it comes to his tastes and things like that. He's not materialistic But he's done very well for himself

So it's like you'd go I'd go to his house for something and it was very hard to figure out. What do you bring because Yeah, you know I would end up just bringing honestly like a bottle of scotch or something like that And and and trust me when I say it never mattered a bit. Yeah at all But it's it's a tough thing to figure out when you know, it's an easy way out, you know, it's not too expensive You get a nice dessert Yeah, the popular donut shop the cupcake shop. Oh, hey, we went by molasses. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah Got a thing of cupcake. What was the um, because it's more of like functional than like

Even if you showed up in Magnolia, yeah, like a bakery that isn't everywhere Hey, we did this or even if you showed up with like four boxes of crispy creams, it would be a little kitschy It's like fun. Hey, we're slumming it. It's joey's great. I got 40 big max. Hey, you know What was a big hit that I that I I went to um I went to uh, brian quinn from impractical jokers. I went to his house for a party And I showed up with uh 100

airplane bottles of jameson That's fun. There you go. How'd you get your hands on them? I went and fucking bought them. Whoa, let me tell you That's a real expensive way to buy jameson But I show you a hundred a word. Yes. I know I need to go to two legal stores. I've cleaned out both stores That's fun. That's kitschy. That's good. And it was a big it was a big fucking hit Oh, man, I might steal that. That's great because because uh, that was one thing where I was like Again, like I'm not like Those guys are very successful. You want to show up with something and nobody would give a shit

None of them would ever care. Sure, but you still want to show up with something You don't want to feel like a boat. You feel like it's some kind of contribution. Just give me your car You know, you show up with rolls I got a case of amoroso's in the trunk You know, I don't know. I don't know. I get in my head about that, but maybe that means I'm garbage.
