They're re-showing every Fasten the Furious movie
At whatever fucking theater
My mom got caught bootlegging at the Venice film festival
That's the only reason your mom's at a fucking art house movie.
She's fucking got a camcorder like this.
A camcorder under a trench coat.
Cawthon.
Just shoot the thing so I can get it out on the street.

Whoa, what the fuck?

Radio City in March.

Let's move some tickets.
We'll be fine.
I didn't bite off more than I could chew.
That's going to be great.
Either than we, that's the Met in Philadelphia this weekend.
The whole industry is down.
You're doing radio.
Ladies and gentlemen, the pride of Baltimore.
Thank you.
Great to be back, fellas.
Thank you for coming.
Great to be back.
back my favorite podcast to do
bit of a bone to pick with you
oh please oh god okay
a big one the bigger one's going down
I keep coughing up food I keep
is it affixated what's a call huh
where you affixiate where food goes down
the fixiate the windpipe
asphyxiate you never had that that's just choking
asphyxation is choke is a set in for choking
something else assimilation
nope asteris
I keep getting little pieces of food go down my windpipe
and I cough it up everybody looks like I'm fucking nuts
I love how you're like, there's some medical explanation, not eating too fucking fast.
Maybe it is.
Aspiration.
Is that right?
I aspire to not choke on my own food.
One day, hopefully.
You know what, that is a better goal for you than the Met?
Don't choke on a hoagie.
Get out of this chair and walk again.
Listen, I didn't tell Kippie that rude comment that you threw at me in the Texas.
message, but he's going to be very upset about this.
Oh, please.
Let's get, you know what, let's get back in here.
I'd love for this conversation to span two separate podcasts.
That went pretty, I mean, that was very divisive.
Yes.
That was very divisive.
No, it wasn't.
Yeah, it was.
We almost got to deal with the Philadelphia airport.
They wanted a couple of hot guys to come in and talk about showing up early and getting meals.
Yes.
I scuttled that for you.
You did.
You screwed up.
You cost us $1,500 in chicken pizza money.
That's good for food
Or the arcade game
Anyway
Yes
Tony, it's in there
What do we have for lunch
Oh man, that's brutal
I'd denyable
With some herisa
Which I can't do the hot stuff
Again
It's got bad hard
It's bad enough
It's bad enough
God damn it
It's bad enough
You give a shit
About going to the palm
Of course
We're at Stavis, bro, you're giving a shit that we go to the airport.
It's insane.
And by the way, I do, you caught me so off guard that I didn't have my actual answer to what I used to do.
Is this my eldest is sitting in on this?
Yeah, yeah.
He pulls out, legal past.
I'll just here with a separate recording device.
Just in case you try and doctor this conversation in your favor.
Gary V. did that, by the way.
Gary V. came in recorded on his own, and now he's releasing clips without us.
We're not mined.
And we're just fuzzy, like, muted voices.
I'd say I'd become a millionaire right there.
That's all about the grind set.
Stealing content you're on.
For sure.
Stealing content you agreed to do.
I think he changed the background.
It's just like flames behind him, too.
God love them.
Fuck, respect, dude.
That's insane.
When we were heading down to Charlotte last week, I sent we got to the palm, as gentlemen as we do.
We ordered our breakfast.
Charlotte, a, what, an hour, 40 minute flight?
You got to have your strength.
First class, baby.
We bumped everybody up.
Flew the whole team down first class.
No one in the back.
No movies, nothing like that.
Brutal.
So I sent Stavey a picture.
He gets back to me and he says, are you dirtbags all drinking Diet Coke?
What was that 9 a.m.?
Yeah, Diet Coke?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
You're a Greek kid.
You don't like having a Diet Coke.
It's the morning, you fucking piece.
Have coffee.
I do.
I do.
You got to get the Holy Trinity.
You got to get a water, a diet cook, but there they serve Pepsi.
Shout out to the Palm.
Pepsi.
And then a large black.
coffee.
Wow.
I do all three.
Anytime I go to breakfast.
A black coffee?
Mm-hmm.
Even though you're having an indulgent breakfast, you want to throw a little cream in there?
It's not too.
No, that goes right to your hips.
Yeah, yeah.
I do a splash of cream.
You do a splash cream in your coffee?
If I'm having it, I like to start my day with a black coffee and it kind of like, you know,
I can fucking just, I don't know.
I'm trying not to eat.
I'm just, you know, fat guys are desperate when they try and you diet every fucking
four.
You're like maybe fasting is the one.
Yeah.
So I'm kind of on that right now.
I've done.
Soon I'll be low car.
Once this fails, I'll cycle to low carb.
But currently I'm on fasting, so I have a little black coffee.
I've changed mid-meal where I've gone all carbs.
I go, I'm doing paleo.
And then I'll do a little toast and I'll go, you know what?
We'll do intermittent today.
I'll eat for the next day now.
This is now my fasting window.
I'm so glad you brought that up.
Put a pin in toast for a second.
I got a big fucking beef with toast.
Oh, wow.
You're a Greek kid.
You like a diner.
You like a breakfast.
You don't like a diet.
So the diet Pepsi for breakfast.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
It's refreshing.
No, it's not.
You get the caffeine.
You quench your thirst.
It's refreshing.
And the palm does a diet bag.
Eggs?
You're washing down fucking scrambled eggs with diet Coke?
I had an omelette, sir.
Okay.
All right.
Yeah, that's not scrambled eggs.
I do the mushroom cheddar.
It comes, you cough it up full.
It's the lens.
It's got a split down it like that Japanese omelet.
Opens up, sucks my face.
disgusting
it's fucking disgusting
you're having breakfast
have a fucking coffee
everything you guys are doing
is against the laws of nature here
with the like
with the that's the
that's the a YG way game
with the airport breakfast
I mean again
unnatural to plan
well I didn't put the restaurant there
I hate that
I hate that where you go
there's every place there serves breakfast
P.F Chang serves breakfast
this isn't unnatural
you know what
this is they don't serve breakfast
here's what I'll say
I would rather
I would rather you go
because that's
The one piece of, what interesting happens at breakfast at an airport is, yeah, what the fuck does P.F. Chang serve for breakfast.
What does the cheese steak place serve for breakfast?
They saute what they serve because we've had breakfast at P.F. Chains.
They serve orange chicken.
What a side of hatchet?
Am I right? Didn't we eat breakfast?
It's like a modified.
It's a little bit of breakfast.
There's no eggs.
You're not getting granola.
I can tell you that.
That's fine.
Look, I'm interested in some kind of like, yeah, I'll take some fucking.
an omelet with some fucking Beijing beef
or whatever the fuck they have. That's it. Give me whatever
the fuck they go. Like I, I stopped at a
I was at an airport and I had some kind of
weird breakfast hoagie at a cheese steak place.
That was great. You know what I mean?
Now, I am.
Stopby's got what I got now. That's it. I've caught it.
It's an airborne. It's going to transfer to me now.
Oh my God. I've caught fat ass. Lock the doors.
Sympathetic fat guy burps.
Cough of a breakfast hoagie.
It's like when someone yawns.
You get it?
Fat guys do that with burps and diarrhea.
I got GERD.
We cycle up like two women when they get their theory together.
Yeah.
Man, I got hurt burn real bad.
The fat guy cycle is just diarrhea.
We're going up to each other privately.
Like, do you have a nexium on you?
Of course I do.
I keep one of my purse.
Do you have any preparation age?
Do you have the to go wipes?
The tucks?
I don't get that.
I don't get the hemorrhoys.
Oh, that's great.
You get roids?
Of all the people on earth, I would be willing to bet.
No, you would, that would freak me out.
I don't like them.
You've never had a whole pain whatsoever.
No, never have a...
I roll with them pretty much exclusively.
Right, right, right, right.
Yeah, well...
I've had itchy before.
You've had an itchy.
But I take care of that.
That's a set of worms.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's probably, probably worms.
But I don't, I just think the Coke is crazy.
Like, it's just...
I don't discerated before 11 a.m. I can't do.
A kid from diner culture.
I'm just Greek, by the way.
You dirty diner guys.
Diner culture.

Olympics he says he's just diner culture and you're not giving you credit for the
parthenon what are you talking about uh no I don't think Coke I don't think Coke with
breakfast is fucking is the way to go that's ridiculous and by the way here's what you do
and I thought about this because I was like what did I'm not I don't want to sit here and
put on airs pretend I'm better than these fucking pieces of shit what that I haven't been
at my lower than you are
now what when i was in the grips of food addiction what would i do and it's exactly what i would do

anything no take it to the airport to the airport on my way to the airport i'm jrity i got my
fucking i got my carry on rolling i got the wheels touching you got touching plane you got

And what I would do very oftentimes,

then and there.
At the deli.
Wherever.
Delhi on, you know,
maybe it's a nice day.
Maybe I sit on a park bench.
I'm taking in the sites and the sounds.
Before you go to the airport.
Yes.
If it's like a 1 p.m.
flight,
would I rather spend it and fuck it at the palm?
Or would I rather have an actual good fucking meal?
How much of a CIA meetup does that look like?
You sit there.
eating a hoagie with luggage next to you.
Some guy in a trench coat
and a hat sitting next to you?
Opens up a newspaper.
He's like, is that pastrami?
How much?
Is that garlic mayo, regular mayo?
There's an X on your suitcase.
Is that a Sal Christian Charlie's
that you're talking about?
I would go to

What's the place right by?
The Italian joint?
Yes.
Is that Timmy D. likes?
Yes.
Cirrhizos.
Great stuff.
Shout out to serisos.
They have a wonderful breakfast.
They have a wonderful breakfast.
They put a little specific potato in the thing.
Great stuff.
So let me ask you this.
You're eating on the apartment?
That's crazy, but fucking planning to eat at a shitty overpriced restaurant, that's not true.
Are you, hold on, are you sitting in a random?
There's nothing fatter to me than having your food x-rayed so you can eat it.
That's fucking insane.
And that's not just you.
That's anybody.
You're going, run this.
I'm so fat.
I got to eat this over there.
Run this through security.
You put it to an x-ray machine?
They have to.
I have had bacon with X-raying.
X-rays on it.
I have ingested X-ray.
That's a great point.
You're in the woo-woo machine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In my hoodie pocket is a full sub.
Like, what's this, sir?
We're going to have to pat you down.
That's crazy to me.
That's, to me, listen, but no, we're both being fat and indulgent.
I'm at least having a high-quality meal when I'm doing it.
See, this is where I got to push back.
You're shitting on the pile.
You're out of your fucking mind.
I'll tell you the one thing I have a beef with the palm with.
Please, here we go.
And I want all you upscale breakfast spots.
Yeah.
To take warning on this.
The fucking airport.
He keeps talking about an airport restaurant is upscale.
Is the palm upscale or not upscale?
Not in the airport.
It's not.
Not in the fucking.
Is the fucking, what if it was?
Are the restaurants at Disney World upscale?
Oh my guy.
I asked the wrong.
Yes.
Dude,
Go in there with a family four.
As soon as it left my mouth, I knew I made a mistake.
Say what you want, but you go to goofies.
You get a nice steak up wab.
Pull up STK downtown Disney.
You want to see me turn out?
What are you talking about?
We got banged out in there for like a thousand bucks.
You ate at the fucking steak restaurant at Disney.
STK.
It's off campus.
It's downtown Disney, right?
Downtown Orlando.
No, it's downtown.
Whatever.
Is it in Disney?
It's on Disney property.
You're fucking idiots.
You're so fucking stupid.
If you leave and go to a different steakhouse in Orlando, the meal costs half as much as twice as good.
Wait, is he talking to us?
I don't know.
Rude.
Invite you have nice time.
I just got to say 4.7 stars, 32,000 reviews.
Yeah, because it's fucking mouth breathing.
Disney fans that go there.
And what the fuck am I?
Yeah, exactly.
You don't like Space Mountain?
You don't like Space Mountain?
Buddy, I'm going to Orlando in two weeks with my family.
You're nuts if you think we're not going to
STK and everyone's going to be dressed the fuck up.
I'm going to complain about how much it was.
I guarantee there's a picture you as a little kid with the fucking ears on.
No, there's got to be.
No, I wanted to go.
We were too poor to go.
But that's the part of it.
I am.
But also just go to a restaurant in a complex,
it's worse and more expensive.
That is fact.
We can't argue that.
An STK outside of Disney or an airport, a poem outside of an airport is better.
We can at least start there, right?
You won't fucking sit here and look at me in the eyes and tell me that they're of equivalent,
of equivalent status, a restaurant outside of an airport or amusement park.
We'll be right now.
We turned your mic off five minutes ago.
You will at least give me that.
You will give me that.
I'll entertain me that.
Oh, you'll entertain it.
You will not
That has to be entered into fat
I'll give you that
I'll give you that
In the fat record
It's well
I want the stenographer
To fucking write that down
It's well documented
I call balls and strikes
Elvis is asleep
What are you talking about?
Not Elvis
That is true
Can I point out something
That's going to bring us together
Sure
Okay
Oh no no no nice try
I need you on the record
Is a restaurant
Outside of an airport
Or amusement park
He's not going to give you this
Better is it the same quality
Or better than a restaurant
Inside of an amusement park
Do that thing where you lie to everybody.
Can you repeat the question?
Is a restaurant better outside of an airport or amusement park?
The same restaurant.
The same...
Like, for example, the Palm.
Am I going to get the same meal, dinner?
The same quality meal...
At the Palm.
At the palm on whatever.
Isn't there one downtown or something over here?
It's over there.
One downtown here in Manhattan.
Mm-hmm.
Is that the same quality as the one in JFK?
John F. Kennedy Airport.
Yes.
Which I believe is an international airport.
It is an international airport.
Eldis, am I right on that?
For the record, Ellis is not a yes.
Listen, I'll give you that.
It is an international airport.
I'm answering your question.
One of the busiest, largest airports in the world.
Eight terminals.
Millions of people travel all around the world.
Right.
Yes.
Is the restaurant there as good as the one outside of an airport?
I've never been to the other one.
I can't comment.
Now, when you say outside of an airport.
He has palm written down twice.
Hey, give my notes away.
He don't know that.
You were about to agree with.
me. You were saying balls and strikes.
Listen, I got to agree with you.
I have to agree with you.
Let's just live in a world of trees.
But if you think...
I've never had dinner at the palm of JFK, so I can't really comment.
To be quite honest with you.
Really?
No, I've not.
Any...
We did land that one time and grab steaks.
No, we didn't.
I'm kidding.
There's a hot bartender.
Good looking guy.
All right, what I look.
Thank you. Kevin, at least you're fucking with me here.
You can at least admit...
Yeah, flip flopper?
You're going to get me in the whip?
He just lives in reality, fully.
But anyway, I just, I need you guys.
I needed that on the record.
Yeah, they do.
Well, if you admit that X-raying half a hoagie is crazy.
I need a hoagie on a park bench like a weirdo is.
Okay, the park bench, no.
Part's a beautiful thing to do.
No, not when you have shit to do that day.
Yeah, you're on your way to the airport.
You're carrying a lot of it.
How about setting a fucking, uh, how about sending a fucking alarm three hours early so you can eat at the fucking palm, you idiots?
Mine's right outside my fucking door.
I don't go through security to eat there.
Sure, is X-raying fucking stupid?
Yes, but is what you're doing more stupid than that?
No.
Yes, it fucking is.
Is it a sandwich on a park bench?
What are you? Paddington Bear?
Yes.
Oh, what's so fucking wrong?
I'm having a whimsical little fucking morning.
That's how I'd like to start my day.
You're fucking rushing.
You're fucking checking.
You're like, oh, are we going to have enough time to get a...
We don't rush.
I leave at 6 o'clock to beat the traffic.
I did do that on my way to Charlotte.
Because I live very far from JFK.
Are you out of your fucking minds?
I got there an hour before we were supposed to meet.
So I went to the Amex lounge, hung out in there, did a little peruse in a coffee, maybe a croissant, waited, then we hit the problem.
Pre-game for the palm.
Listen.

All you upscale breakfast restaurants out there.
Unfortunately, including the palm.
Mm-hmm.
One slice of toast is not an order.
Yes.
It's two slices of fucking toast.
I agree there.
One slice of toast is not an order.
Now, is that, are you saying you order specifically a side of toast or is that what comes with your real?
Comes with the American breakfast.
Comes with?
What are you doing?
Should be two pieces of toast.
Stavi.
You're at the point.
That's what you guys get.
You want to eat at the upscale fucking breakfast.
palm you don't want to eat at a diner where you might get two fucking pieces of toast
you're prisoners of your own making here you go to a diner you're getting two pieces of toast
that's what i'm saying you have to give it CPR when it gets there because it's drowned
in butter yeah that's what i'm saying go where you belong if you want two pieces of toast
don't eat at the fucking palm you get what you get what you deserve one piece of toast i think
i agree with you is it right no no it's not right i don't like this i don't like this hope
get what you deserve it and he's not wrong uh dude as i saw you
making that connection and I got so
mad. Stopi post
media training is dating. Yeah, what the fuck?
Bullshit. I'm just saying
fellas, you know, eat at a fucking diner.
We do. Bubbies
or whatever, bubbles. I'm going to bubby's at
LaGuardia. Maybe we've got to switch it up.
Also, how about this? You know what? That might
be, you're eating in a fucking airport,
you fucking idiots and they don't treat you
with baseline human respect because they know you
have to eat there. You don't say that about bubbyes.
You can fucking bite your tongue. Every
restaurant is shit here at an airport. I just
cough something up and I chewed it and put it back down
I'm not sure what it was
It's probably a bottle cap or something
A piece of your esophagus
Your own tonsils
Cheap a little
Fully you're missing
Alarinix
Pernounced Lorax
But listen I agree with you
And of course
A two pieces
Now if you were to order toast
And they give you one piece
I'd fucking riot
You should flip the fucking table
But they do do that
You go to a real nice place.
They'll do that.
They'll hit you with one, like, you know, 19 multi-grain, thick piece of toast.
Now, if it's thick, if it's the thickness of two pieces, I...
That's what I want to.
I cannot do one piece of toast.
I will not.
Yeah.
You can.
You probably should.
My mom gets...
Some might say you should do zero piece of toast, but you don't want to.
My mom gets this, that 357 toast.
What's it called?
That's good stuff.
You know what I'm talking?
I do, yeah.
That stuff.
fat, another fat staple, hoping
diet bread will sell.
There's a German stuff, fitness bread, do you ever
bite that? You fuck with that? I might as well be running a
marathon. You get that crispy? It's not
bad. That's all right. I just had burger, I had
turkey burgers with that, with buns, those
150, whatever the fuck it is. Now, here's the thing
I wanted to ask you. I don't know if we ever talked about this.
2-1-2 bread? Yeah, yeah, we keep making up numbers.
1-18-7, bread.
It's whatever your cholesterol is.
6-18 bread.
My credit score.
You mentioned burger.
I don't know if we ever got your take on the proper way to eat a burger if we didn't.
Let's touch on it again.
Please.
Are you ever cutting a burger if it doesn't come cut?
Standard burger.
Standard burger, no.
Okay.
I would not do that.
Now you take your bite.
How do you put that down?
Do you put that down, bottom down?
Or do you invert like that to make sure it's sustained structural integrity?
Just something I want you to know, Halkius.
We're taking Aldous into the room after this.
And we're going to ask him all these questions when we're not around.
Yeah.
We shouldn't even have you in listening.
All of a sudden, you're spinning this fucking classy guy.
I never said I'm classy.
I just said you're trying to distance yourself from us, which I do not like.
Well, first of all, that's your doing.
I would love to be, you surprise me at the levels of trash you maintained despite getting more successful.
Him or me.
Well.
You may you expect it.
I would expect Kevin to try and better himself.
I am a little bit.
You can't help yourself.
You're a fucking, you, you, you went to the dentist a couple weeks ago.
I got it on Groupon.
No.
It was the last time I was at a dentist was off group.
How bad was that cleaning?
How red was that?
It was tough.
How much fucking bleeding?
Well, they really try to upsell you.
You get in there and they go, you need all this.
Right, right.
When was the last time you went to there, Dennis?
It was probably a long time ago.
How many years?
Seven?
Seven years?
Pre-pandemic.
You think they were upselling you.
You don't think your teeth were in dire need of fucking medical attention.
Medical attention?
You think they were fucking, what were they trying to upsell?
The guy.
The guy, the guy working the front desk, which is always bare.
This guy had a fucking mouthful of metal.
And I was like, it looks like you're working off of debt.
You know what I mean?
He's like, we have a payment plan.
I'm like, is that what you're fucking?
I'll be working here next week.
Like my sill got that girl braces and worked at the bottom thing?
Yep, yep, yep, exactly right.
How are you doing the burger?
I don't, I couldn't tell you.
I feel like.
He's got to do the noise.
Let me get into character.
It's like an old lady dialing a phone she has to see in front of it.
I feel, yeah, I feel like I would.

Ground turkey, a little spice blend of my own, you know, ground up.
Here's how to make it juicy.
Blend the whole onion, put it in the turkey, like mix it all together, put a little bit of egg in there.
Really good stuff.
Huh.
Like a turkey loaf.
It's nice.
Yeah, yeah.
It gives it a fresh, little juicy.
It's nice.
Oh.
Stop.
He's cooking a lot?
Sometimes you can throw a pepper in there, too, if you wanted to.
Okay.
This guy's high class.
You know, sneak in a vegetable in your burger.
You won't know.
Yeah.
I have to treat myself like a dog eating medicine when it comes to vegetables.
I have to blend peppers into my fucking turkey meat.
I love how that's the big vegetable.
Yeah, one pepper amongst 12 fucking burgers.
There's a nutrient pants.
I'm eating one 12th of pepper in every burger.
Oh, man.
I am full on veggies today.
Yes.
This guy is a pickle once a year.
All of a sudden, he's Luke Corona.
No pickles for me.
I'm not a pickle guy.
Really?
I'm right there with you.
Not a pickle guy.
Interesting.
I like pickled things.
I don't like a pickled cucumber.
I'll do pickled onions for sure.
A red onion.
Love them.
Good stuff.
It's so good.
But I don't know.
The classic pickle, not for me.
I never asked you to.
You a coleslaw guy?
Mayonnaise coleslaw?
No.
Not really.
Well, thanks for coming in.
Yeah.
Not really.
One of the ones, I don't know if we ever asked you.
When was the first time you had, this is a piggyback off a little version?
When was the first time you had Nutella?
Oh.
I had it.
early because it was in Greece.
There was a brand called Medenda
that was a Greek-only brand
that my grandmother would,
as she was smuggling in other Greek goods
that you're not supposed to bring.
Through the X-ray machine.
Yeah, through the X-Rae.
That's a generational for you.
Maybe I grew up.
This is what happened.
I was as a child eating fucking X-rayed Nutella.
You know what I mean?
Of course I'm going to want an X-rayed Hogi
as far, you know, the older I get.
But no, I was like, I was more pumped
for her to come back with buckets of Medenda
than I was to see my grandmother.
Of course.
She would come back on shoot with a bunch of stuff.
Yeah, oh, dude, she'd come.
Because it was before you could really get everything imported.
She's like Karen Hill sneaking into it.
Essentially, yeah, essentially.
She would come twice.
She lives in this little island all the way up north in a village up a fucking mountain.
So it was like during the winter, an old lady could get fucking, you know, it was dangerous.
So she would come here for the, she would winter in Baltimore.
No kidding.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they'd go back to Greece.
You're bitching at us about the palm.
Yeah.
You've got to be kidding.
No, that's what I'm saying.
are you have grown past this.
You don't have to eat at airports anymore.
Where would she stay?
She would stay with you guys?
She would stay with us.
We shared a wall.
So a lot of my first jacking off,
it's like my grandmother's on the other side of the wall.
Yeah, yeah.
I know what you were doing with the Miranda.
Oh, no, that was going down the gullet.
I wasn't wasting a drop of that stuff.
And then I'll piggyback off that.
When was the first time?
This is a good one.
This might make it into the second.
When was the first time you had Brie cheese?
Wow.
Wow. Mine was real.
Did you just see Brie cheese this weekend or something?
No, this is from Mabby.
This is a question.
I'm going to guess college.
I'm going to guess college.
Bree.
That makes sense.
I remember the first time I really saw it.
I saw someone.
I guess it's possible somebody brought it to Thanksgiving or something.
I'm sure it was around, but it came on my radar at the Mummers Parade in South Philly.
I saw someone eating and I said, what that heck is even at.
At the Mummer's parade?
Yeah, you were like mid putting on your birthday.
blackface
We're like
No, no, no, no.
I was just there dancing.
That's the commercial?
It's a South Philly institution.
Before you beat up
the Puerto Rican get in the neighborhood.
Have a little Brie cheese.
Yeah, I don't remember,
but, you know, probably.
The first time I remember eating it,
my true first memory of eating Brie is I was like
24.
I was in mid-30s.
I remember the first time I had it,
I was like, this ain't for me.
I like it now.
I love it now.
Yeah.
Because it's basically a buttery-ass cheese.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There was the first time I, my wife came to visit from Germany.
We had met and she came back to visit.
I took it to Astoria, Beer and Cheese.
I don't know.
Are they still banging?
Yeah, very good.
Got like a nice, we each got like a nice IPA.
And I was trying to, I was trying to act classy.
Most of my food up until that point was Dollar Slice.
Yes, yes, yes.
You know.
Beer and cheese, not even wine and cheese.
Yeah, beer and cheese.
That's the classes you could muster.
I thought.
It's beer and cheese.
I thought I was so classy.
I took a picture and put it on Instagram.
I remember.
My family was like, who do you think you are?
We'll do the Gorgonzola plate and two crystal lights, please.
I'll do the crab single slice.
I brought my own cheese.
Just the beer for me.
It's just shredded.
And whatever the lady wants.
And whatever the lady...
Up and including $20.
And whatever the lady order, whatever type of cheese the lady orders,
get the one under it, but the same type.
Dude, it was the first time I had proper blue cheat
Like, man, I didn't know what it was
And I took a bite
Yeah, man, I, and I wanted, I had this
I couldn't push out
Of course
But I was like talking with it in my mouth
And so
Oh, do you know what a bad for me?
I got caught with that on a nagiri plate
Is that I think you pronounce it, Nogiri?
Yeah, yeah
And let's just, no try any other ones
Let's just stick with that
I was at the dinner with my wife.
This is years ago.
Yeah, it was the first.
Where the fuck are you eating sushi when they're putting blue cheese on it?
No, it wasn't blue cheese.
Oh, oh, just the, just you, the raw fish.
I see, okay, I see.
It was, uh, it was the first time they hit me, I would say, yeah, I'll try whatever.
And they hit me with raw calamari.
Oh, I like that actually.
Oh, dude, that's a chewing of foot.
Oh, my God.
And I was chewing on like Big League chew
It takes a lot of chewing
It does
There's a point for me
Mouthfield where if I can't get it
In a couple chews
It ain't happening
And I can't get it down
I don't care how much
How much fucking IPA
I got in front of me
There's not enough
Are you sure that's not a teeth thing
Are you sure it's not back to the teeth?
Yeah yeah yeah you need two easy soft shoes
You have to spit it out
I got a couple of stingers in the back
Chew it on one side
Because you have a bad tooth on the other side
Oh, dude, when my tooth, when I fucked this tooth up, I spent three days.
I was like, it's fine.
I don't need to get it up.
And it was excruciating pain to the point where I just, like, would place food.
I would take a little bite and put it all the way in the back.
In my back left corner and go like.
Like Tom Hanks?
What is the prognosis of that, tooth?
Are you getting that fixed?
It's too.
What are you talking about?
It's chipped.
Yeah, I chipped the fake one, but whatever.
Okay.
I was asking about the chip, too.
That didn't get knocked out.
That was, that went bad?
Is that what happened with that?
It went bad and then it got not.
This guy judging me for work at the palm.
Again, I am not.
That's what you need to look at a mirror if a man like me is disgusted by your actions.
That's not what I'm not here to claim I'm above you.
I'm just saying you need to, well, I am, unfortunately.
I don't know how you've done it.
Yeah.
Like I get any.
But no, it got, it went bad.
What does that mean?
Exactly.
It was called tooth resorption.
And it's when you're fucking, it's when you're fucking, you break your.
literally your body starts absorbing the tooth.
For real.
Kids hungry.
Yeah.
And, yeah, I had a joke.
I don't think I ever put it on anything where it was like, my body was so fat.
It was just like, all right, man, we got to take his teeth.
We take your teeth.
That's really funny.
He's not going to learn that.
It felt like that's what happened.
I have that.
Take his teeth.
No, I'm still working on it.
Don't remember.
Yeah.
You pull your tooth out to do the bit?
Yeah.
That's my new closure.
Hey, everybody's good today.
Self-only my toothless stuff.
So it wasn't.
cavity. It was like receding into your
gums. Yeah, I don't exactly know what the fuck
it was. And then you pulled it out by yourself because it hurt so bad?
I went to the dent. They took it out.
And I thought... Rupon? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, literally
like a friend's, a friend's uncle
I had to drive an hour and a half to Jersey.
Tough stuff. How good does that feel
though when they pull it out when they numb you? It felt good.
I had two teeth that went
like bad from bad root canout.
And they were killing me. They yanked them out.
Yeah. Not bad. You got replacements?
You still... Uh-uh. Nice.
Uh-uh. I'll wait.
Yeah
I'll wait till a car
I'm not getting
the fucking back
once replaced
Sure
Shout out to all the ladies
Still tuned in
Yeah
Tooth resorption
Right
If I get a fake tooth put in
They gotta drill it
Put the screw in
Then you gotta wait like
Six months for that
Yep
And then get the tooth
Put in
Yeah
But your whole mouth
Is fucked up
Like you need to do that
Because you're just teeth
You know
They're moving around
They move around
Yeah
You're fine with that
I floss every day
And I brush every day
Okay
I've been to a dentist
In probably 20 years
You should go to a dentist
Nah
They bang you out with that shit.
We have dental, don't we?
But the dental insurance is the biggest.
Just go to the dentist and fucking animals.
It doesn't matter.
They don't cover nothing.
Do we have dental?
Eat at the palm outside of security and go to the dentist's office.
It doesn't cover anything.
So pay out of pocket.
I'm not going to pay a fucking four grand for a fuck for that bullshit.
Why not?
It's about your mouth, dumbass.
What about it?
You're okay with it being.
I mean, you do have weird teeth to be.
He can't seem like
He's on the back nine too
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess you're right
He's on the 18th
He's on the 18th green
If we're gonna get the bumper fix now?
What are you gonna get for eight years?
What are you going to get you seen?
That's the final eight years of your life
It's not worth it
That's chasing bad money right there
Any financial advisor
Worth his weight and salt, I'll tell you that
Yeah, I might as well start a 401K
I'm a fucking idiot
Crazy
Which I think they did
and you're going to be real mad when you find out.
What?
Are you kidding me?
I think they did.
Does that come out of a...
Call J.B.
It's crazy.
Fully likes to invest in scratch-offs.
He gets most of his...
That's his retirement fund.
Hey, I'm a short-term guy.
Laundrumats.
Nick Rooshofer told me about gravel.
Think about getting in the gravel.
That makes sense.
We had a...
We had a real realization.
I don't know if it was on Patreon or what.
where we started what you need to get ready for retirement and the fact that how close
he is to retire like to normal retirement age and how little he has ready for that it's like he's
you have to work till he's like 92 years old yeah i'm five years away from a 55 and older community
yeah we're looking to get him in one of those that would be awesome you should go clean up you should
we should we should get him down in boca move the whole operation down here save a lot on taxes that way
I know what I just saw, too, on a commercial, I was watching, I was watching Goonies
in a day when I was home.
Jam-packed day.
Oh, God for me, you have to keep up this job until you're 80.
And they did one of them, uh, consumer cellular commercials.
Yeah.
You know?
50 and older.
Wow.
50.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
I mean, that's, yeah.
Fuck that.
Johnny Depp's like 65.

Kibi, this is aura frames.
Orrame, or frame, or frame.
Wait, you know or frames?
Do I know or a frame?
Have you ever bought in aura frames as a present for somebody?
About ten times every lady in my life has gotten an or a frame and it's the best gift I've ever given, the best gift they've ever got.

Frame.
Yeah.

Boom.
Really?
Dick pick.
So that made the grandparents, the aunty uncles,
they could keep up and know what the kids are doing and all that kind of stuff.
All easy peas.
Now, if you ever jammed up for a last minute gift idea,
would you recommend getting an orphan?
I wouldn't only recommend it.
I would demand it.
Really?
If you came to me, you said, oh, my God, Kippy, I need help.

Listen, I love you guys, but I can't stay around here forever.
Yeah, that's true.

It's always an old British woman that drinks Tolleymore every day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.

Last time I was here you made a comment about another black and white television show.
Didn't you talk about fucking green gables or some green acres or some bullshit?
Green acres?
Maybe Hogan's heroes.
Hogan's heroes.
Which was not in black and white.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
It was a technicolor.
Oh, yeah.
It's really weird.
You're 50.
Yeah.
You guys, can you believe it?
Great stuff.
You're going to live forever, Hank.
There is a, my dad is a huge map of the world from his office when he, when he worked, when he was in the media.
You are here.
It's flat earth.
It's the ice shelf around it.
No, and it's, it's the United States, South America, the Soviet Union.
Yeah.
Huge.
Man, they had a lot of real estate.
They did.
How'd you fuck that up?
You got all that minerals.
You got all that oil.
Yep.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
How do you fuck that up?
I don't know.
You think this is the show to talk about the fall of the USSR?
I love how the guy with no teeth and no money.
He's like, how you fuck that up?
I guarantee you they were doing one piece of toast over there.
How do you have everything going for you and still fumble the ball?
How does that happen?
I keep spitting up food.
A podcast millionaire who refuses to go to the dentist.
No dentist.
Listen, it's all a hustle
You go in there
Yeah, they cover the cleaning
You spend $1,000 at STK Disney
But you won't
The company did that
You won't go to the fucking dentist
Hey, if the IRS is out there watching
That was for content purposes
We were down there filming something
That was team building
Fucking film it then
That would be good video
How fucked up your teeth are
After not going to the dentist for 20 years
I think they're pretty good
A couple way to find out
I got a hole
in one.
I'm not talking about golf.
All right.
Any more hard-hitting questions?
This one, this is very of,

A little bit of a longer narrative.
Please.

We were heading home from the Kmart where his girlfriend worked.
He would disappear into the back of the store with her for when she was on break.
I was left to hang out in the electronics department for 20 or 30 minutes.
That's when you could still hang out in the electronic department.
I never was able to get anything and I had no idea what was going on and he was still married
to my mom at the time.
Is that trash?
Yeah, I mean, that's fucking at every turn.
That's trash.
You had as a Kmart.
You had a girlfriend, your adult father having a girlfriend that works at Kmart.
Instantly you're trash.
With no other qualifications.
You know, that's trash.
Cheating, yes.
Banging out of work is nuts.
The question, did my phone, was, my father cheating on my mother, taking me along,
not even bribing me with a toy, but just letting me hang out while he fucked some disgusting
woman. She could have been good looking. I guess
it's... Tell you what, I'm going to go talk to Linda.
You watch the same thing on 17 TVs.
I mean, yes, it's trash.
That's one of the most trash
situations I've ever heard of. And it has nothing
to do with ostensibly
the meatloaf song. No, not at all.
That's actually the classiest thing of
the whole story. But it's
funny you mention that. I remember kind of
piecing things together with that song, too.
With the Phil Rizzuto. He rounds first.
He goes for second. That's him trying to
score I'm not I'm yeah
Are you kidding me? I don't know that song
Paradise by the dashboard
What year did that come out Luke? It doesn't matter
I was listening to to in the early 90s
1970s
In 1970s
There's fucking 10 years before I was born
I didn't listen to him dead I was a year old
In 1977 I understand
I wasn't getting late yet but thank you for the compliment
I wasn't advanced for my age
It was in the 90s when they reissued everything on CD
I do feel like Meeloaf did have a big comeback
Because I remember him as a child
Bad Out of Hell was...
It's a great album.
That was just kind of one of the original questions.
Two out of three ain't bad?
That was the first concert I ever went to was Meatloaf, because I love that.
I'll do anything from...
Of course.
That's a good song.
So my mom took me, my brother and my sister, and he was so drunk and dirty, and he's like,
he had this girl singing on stage, like, this backup stage.
He's like, this fucking slut!
And then, dude, he only did, like, half the concert.
And then, like, Ticketmaster came out, was like, we'd like to apologize on behalf of meatloaf and all meatloaf subsidiaries.
It was wild.
That's awesome.
How old are you?
Seven, eight?
I mean, it was crazy.
Yeah, I was just like, this guy seems upset about something.
Yeah, you're incredibly trash.
This guy's one of the trashes guys.
That's great.
Were you a Kmart family?
We would dabble.
We were Value City.
We would dabble in some Kmart.
We were never a Walmart family.
I don't think Walmart existed back then.
Walmart's from, I mean, I don't know it was by us.
It wasn't around by us.
No, it was.
It was more of a Southern thing.
I think they took Kmart over.
Yeah, they did Kmart's life.
But yeah, we were a Kmart family for a while.
Value City, definitely.
I do remember there was a Kmart with a Little Caesars inside of it.
Very nice.
And that was big.
Very nice.
The advertising for Little Caesars really worked on me as a child.
For sure.
Pizza, pizza guy.
Yeah, they weren't around us enough.
I would see the commercials, but we would never see, like, we were Domino's or Pizza.
It was so good back in the, when they just did the square pizza, it was so good.
I remember that actually being the first time I understood how misleading advertising could be.
Because I was like, I was like, for like my 50-6th birthday, I was like, I demand little Caesar's pizza.
And then I was like, this is going to be the best fucking pizza.
Fucking this cartoon loves it.
It's fucking awesome.
And it came, it fucking sucked.
It like, compared to our local, like, pizza place where it was like what I was used to.
Yeah.
And I was like, what the fuck?
This stinks.
They let this on TV?
TV betrayed me.
Somebody called the president.
Yeah, my favorite thing, television lied to me.
Offer profits?
This pizza sucks.
Took my parents hard-earned money?
This is crazy.
It really pissed me the fuck off.
Damn.
Yeah.
Mom, these advertising guys, they might not be good people.
I don't know to trust this stuff.
But I thought it was really good back in the day when it came in the big box and it was square.
Yeah.
I thought it was all.
We're more of a pizza hut out or a Papa John.
Sure.
Where would you do your back-to-school shopping?
Would you do Kmart Value City?
Yeah, for sure.
That's where I think is value city you keep talking about.
Value City is like a Burlington Co-Factor.
Yeah.
sort of place they took over clover in my home town all street road it was clover and then clover
turned into value city it was like uh like a like a s like a basca yeah like a bad stand-alone
department never seen yeah like a marr like a shittier marshals like a t j max yeah it was in that
it was in that family of stuff when our clover clothes they just shut it down
suck did you have a clover down in baltimore we never got great you know what's great about
that kmart is right in the middle of the store they have the fucking icy stand
You could see it.
It was like a, like a fuck.
In the center?
It was a North Star.
You could just see the polar bear in that cup.
It was just going around.
It's going around.
I was in black and white.
Interesting, interesting.
Damn.
I did like the icy.
Yeah.
The slurpy would do the Coca-Cola-flavored slurpy.
When that hit, that and a soft pretzel, fucking forget about the night.
That is good stuff, fellas.
We can build common ground there for sure.
And I always hit.
That's what it shows all about.
Find a common ground.
Bring an idiot's together
Yeah, being a fat child throwing a temper
tantrum until your mother gave you a slurpy
So you could, so she could
You know, barely get enough
To fucking clothe and feed you
Sure, I think to myself
If they just would have gave in
And made it not a big deal
Would I have grown up to be
To have the tendencies that I have?
Right
If they were, yeah, you want to serve you're ungoverned?
I'm not saying ungoverned
I'm saying if they didn't
Because I'm the kind of person.
If you want to make it a fight, I'll make it a fight.
You'll dig your heels in.
Yeah, I'll dig my fucking heels in.
Well, I'm going to say no.
There's something about your genetic makeup that you would have been a mess no matter what.
Right.
But there is the thought you probably would have, no matter what parenting, you're this guy.
Sure.
It's kind of my guess, right?
The fact that you refuse to go to the dentist.
Is anyone fighting you on the dentist fully?
Are you just not going because you don't want to?
Not anymore.
Right.
Exactly.
I mean, the only dentist that I've ever gone to is the office that.
that my mom worked at when I was younger.
Emotional connection.
And then when she stopped working there,
the hygienist, Michelle, who I always saw growing up,
she went to another office.
That's the only dentist that I think about going to.
I'm not going to some fucking dentist in the story.
What are you fucking nuts?
What about Manhattan?
New York City?
Yeah.
They bang out.
Again, that's fine.
I'm not going to some dentist on Park Avenue.
They give you like a scotch while you're waiting.
This is the 50s
You're in there smoking
Where do you go?
But I know
I go to a good
A good dance
But I know actually
There is a school of thought
That it's like
If you raise your kids
To actually not
You don't make like
Candy a big deal
You don't make desserts a big deal
They'll make the better choices
They'll just fucking eat it
Till they
They'll just have like
Fucking couple scoops
Be like that was good
Yeah
And but it's just
You know
It's so hard for me to fathom that
That's the way Luke was raised
Right
Yes sir
See?
You act like you don't need this shit
They give it to you for free.
Interesting.
To quote Mr. Vince Vaugh.
And did you ever go over?
Did you ever, was there anything you ever gorged on, Luke?
I think college is where you figure that out.
You lock that in and then you, hopefully you're on to greener pastures.
He had a little pill thing in college.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
His parents watch the show.
I mean, dude.
Grown man?
When I got the fucking unlimited meal plan, that was a big problem.
I remember finding out.
I did the freshman 50.
What fourth meal was?
What's that?
Fourth meal.
I didn't know it was a thing.
I was eating four times before.
But I didn't know it was, oh, we'll go to fourth meal.
I was like, once I learned that I had access to that, I didn't fucking miss.
I'd leave a party.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
Later, bitches.
Set an alarm on your fucking phone.
Yeah.
To be like, up fourth meal, or whatever.
I'll be back, yeah.
You skanks aren't giving it up.
I'm getting out of here.
I'm going to go make a chicken finger sandwich.
Yeah.
Took a couple chicken fingers, put them on a Kaiser roll, slice of cheese out the door.
That's good stuff.
Oh, that's fucking a real.
Yeah.
Yeah, they had a fucking soft serve machine.
Yeah.
I just had soft serve after every meal.
Every meal.
You had a soft serve machine.
In college.
Would you go Harvard?
Yeah, University of Maryland, Baltimore County.
Oh, yikes.
Yikes.
We just, I remember the first time we had fountain, we had gatorade fountain drinks.
Like, you know, gatorade out of the fountain.
So you get like two or three of them put it on the tray.
Probably a wild cherry Pepsi put that on a tray.
Love that.
No water in sight.
Of course.
And I'm going.
I got like three or four drinks on the tray.
like 12 ounce cups or whatever
and I remember sitting down
and there was this kid I became friends
that was like really in shape
we went to high school together
but he wasn't in
we weren't boys in high school
but we linked up in college
that happens a lot in college
yeah and he was like
going to the gym every day
and I was just fucking smoking
and eating drinking
and he goes hey man
I notice you
I noticed you drink Gatorade
with every meal
you know
say hydrated
you know
I noticed
this is like
this is like
Six weeks into college.
Couldn't help but notice, man.
You're drinking, you're drinking a lot of games.
He goes, that's typically reserved for, like, when you exercise and need to replenish.
Just giving you the benefit of the doubt is if you're that stupid.
I was.
I never thought of it.
It was, I had never, I just thought I was going to be in better, like, in case something did break out.
Oh, yeah, I'm drinking when an athlete drinks.
I'll become an athlete.
What if some chick wants to see me dunk?
I don't want to cramp up like a hiss old
That's fucking awesome
And I remember it rattled me to the core
Did you not know?
No, no, I'm with Kevin here
Because I got no, you're right for you
No one you
That's what that means drink
Exactly. No one, the concept of a drink like I had no soda was bad for you
Yeah, yeah
Sugar in Gatorade didn't even cross my mind
No, not once
No, absolutely.
Absolutely not.
I used to do the thing.
I was so fat and I lied to myself so much.
I remember one,
I remember I went one time with my boy, Pat,
who was, like, tiny, like, just regular kid to McDonald's.
And I went, oh, he eats McDonald's.
It can't be, like, I can have it four times a week.
Where he has it once a month.
Once a month.
Yeah, and I'm like, that I, I,
once a month throws away some of the fries.
Yeah.
You were the first time you ate McDonald's someone,
you saw some fries left.
You were like, what?
He must ate just before.
came
like I did
I for the first time I
for Thanksgiving
my brother hosted
and so I didn't have
access to left
just now
yeah just now
and I left my
like tin
you know you just
kind of make a little
plate but I left it there
so I did
this is you want to hear trash
and I freely admit this
right
I went to a McDonald's
drive through
on Thanksgiving
at like eight o'clock
to watch the Ravens
I was like
I don't have
leftovers
it's Thanksgiving
You know you give yourself like
Listen you give yourself Thanksgiving act
A fucking fool
So I fucking
And even then
Full off Thanksgiving dinner
Didn't want to finish my fucking fries
I had I finned I fucking stuffed them
Yeah I wasn't hungry
I did it though
I had a very modest quarter pounder
10 nuggets and fries
Like the pilgrims did
Exactly
Very modest order
Nothing wrong there
A corticopia
Yeah
But yes
I remember the first time
eating fast food or someone
and just seeing like a bite of sandwich
and some fries going to the trash
and it fucking pissed me off.
We were telling us story.
Where's the apple pie? That's what I want to know.
I didn't get an apple pie.
In the car on the way home from the road yesterday.
My all-time car getting denied
I was in line at a McDonald's.
I had ordered and then went to pay
681 or whatever got denied.
And there was a curb so I couldn't pull out.
So I had to wait until they get to the next window.
And he's like, I don't have your
I'm like, yeah, I don't, I ain't got it.
It's tough.
I changed my mind.
I'm going to go grab a Gatorade.
You're like, you should have just been like, surely there's a mistake.
Sure.
Oh, that, this is a one of the segue.
This is from A.G. Willekers.
When you go through a drive-through, at what point does the size of the order become rude to the people behind you?
And someone piggy bad, no, there was a comment on this.
Is it just easier if there's five people, you go, just give me five burgers, five nuggets, five fries, five drinks?
Or does everybody get to go?
their individual what's the
or do you not take account
into that at all yeah fuck damn
what are you talking about I'm sort of with
fully where it's like listen I
I guess it depends right what are we in Russia
you get what you want
what are you out of your fucking mind
this is one of yeah as American society
is crumbling one of the few
comforts we have is
whatever you want from a drive-through menu
and I sort of look if it's the kind
of thing where you're just popping over
somewhere it's like yeah get a bag of bird
Like, if you're showing up at a party, you get a bag of fucking...
I like that.
Bag of burgers, bag of nuggets.
No one's mad.
We've done that.
I've done that before.
That's a great move.
But if it's like, I would say if your party is five and under, if you're just a packed car, you're fine.
Now, if it's a sprinter van.
Yeah, yeah, school bus sprinter van.
It's a little different.
But yeah, and I think you can say, like, hey, can we simplify this?
Like, if someone's getting a fucking McChicken and one guy's getting the crispy chicken, it's like, how about two?
You know what I mean?
You try your artist to simplify, but no, at the end of the day, if somebody really wants something.
It's fast food.
That's two seconds.
You're looking at me.
Like, I came up with it.
I'm just, you know, I don't like the fact that you brought it up.
Don't shoot the messenger.
What the fuck?
Yeah, because oftentimes it's a real.
Stop and get them.
It's a real treat.
When you're, and especially when you have a car full of people, you're probably high.
Someone's, you know, one guy's sober, one guy's drunk.
Now, that's the other thing.
If you're the sober guy doing a fucking car full of drugs.
Oh, fuck everybody.
No, you got to go one big bag.
You listen to what they have to say, and you decide how close.
And then when they're like, they're drunk, you're like, oh, my God, can you believe they fucked up your order?
Fuck them.
You know what I mean?
It's like, that's the other thing.
Just eat it and shut up.
That's what it is.
I'll give you that.
And here's the thing.
Get one, get a couple extra things.
So if you get twice, two things you didn't really want that much, you're all right.
You're fine with that.
You get an extra.
It's like, oh, yeah, here's an extra fucking quarter pounder.
It's McDonald's.
Everything's good.
It's not one thing on the menu that you wouldn't.
And it's all the same shit.
McDonald's Taco Bell, wherever the fuck you're going, it's four ingredients switched up a little bit.
Let's go.
Now, when you did that Thanksgiving order, where did you eat that?
What did you pull up and park?
No, I took it to my home.
Took it to the home.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
I grew up like we pull up and park and eat right there.
That's Thanksgiving.
And I don't appreciate the emphasis on the home.
You're at McDonald's on Thanksgiving.
I took it to my home where I was alone.
Without a wife or children.
I took it to my home.
It was a 36-year-old man, my beautiful home that I share with no one.
My beautiful vapid home.
You turn the heat off and all the lights, just sit by one candle?
I feel bad now.
No, it's funny.
What did you get?
I told you already, you're a motherfucker.
I missed it.
A quarter-pounder, a double, or, double quarter-pounder, 10 McNuggets and some fries.
That you finished.
I did.
I did finish, but they were colder than I usually would let them get.
It kills me.
Yeah.
Those McDonald's fries.
and they get cold.
It's over.
I don't hate it.
Because the thing is, I considered being,
I considered not eating the fries
as sort of like a, well, I didn't eat the whole.
That's another fact I think.
I didn't.
You didn't do the whole thing.
But then you always do.
I'm going to become the thing I hate.
A healthy guy that only eats part of his McDonald's order.
It's crazy.
And then I just, of course, go back.
The Ravens are losing what I'm going to fucking,
I'm going to fucking eat them.
Come on.
You know, I need some comfort in that moment.
Either die the hero, you live long enough to become a villain.
That's right.
Absolutely.
All right, one more food one
This is from Aunt Rose
$10 solstice here
Never have one red, no big deal
Oh, I have had one red, no big deal
I just made a salad
In interest of being healthy
Sure
But there were no croutons left
I'm out
So I crushed up some sun chips in there
Instead thoughts
Yes
P.S they were garden salsa flavor
Ah garden
From the garden like the lettuce
The chips is a garden
It's crazy to me
But I get it
Well here's what I'll say
I think if you're doing it to be healthy
if you actually
if you took a serving of sun chips
that's like whatever calories
80 calories and whatever you crumple them up
no harm no foul I don't think so
you put some bacon in there you put some
you put a little bit of cheese to make a salad
worthwhile you put a little dressing in there
if you're doing that I actually like it
one time I didn't have salt
on the road and I crushed up
cheese it's and used that as salt
and you know what what were you making
it was like some kind of chicken pasta thing
And it kind of worked.
It kind of worked.
That was 60, I got 60 calories worth of Cheez-I-It's.
Not bad.
Check out Stavey gets ripped episode, which episode is that.
We love it. We're big fans of it over here.
Talk about pushing an analogy to its limits.
It wasn't even an analogy, just what happened.
It's not a metaphor.
I literally used Cheez-Its as salt the way this woman used garden salsa chips as croutes.
So I'm with her.
That's a great way to look at it.
It's like, yeah, it isn't the bet.
And I would never do that.
I would do five handfuls and then eat some before I wrap.
To bag up, of course, of course.
And then throw this out and get a pizza.
That's wrong with a little crunch.
That's brilliant, though.
It was like it probably is the same calories as the fucking serving of croutons or whatever.
You know, in the same ballpark.
Sure, sure, sure.
When I was living in North Carolina, all I had in my house was a bag of that mixed salad.
And crack.
Balsamic dressing and, what's it called, saltines?
And I would crush them up and use them as, as, uh.
That's fucking crazy.
That's one of the most fucking depressing things.
It's like the Italians.
They didn't...
It's like the Italian.
But they didn't have cheese, so they would use breadcrumbs instead.
That's what fucking Tucci said on one of his show.
Tucci's full of shit.
We are anti-Tucci.
Oh, you guys are not Stanley Tucci guys.
I, dude, it's...
Fuck Tucci.
Go watch an episode.
That motherfucker is lying about speaking Italian.
He don't know what the fuck he's talking about.
Welcome back to pretentious with Stanley Tuch.
His motherfucker went...
He went to Rome once when he was 12 years old for two weeks.
And then it's like, you're the authority?
Get the fuck out of me.
I went to lacrosse camp for two weeks, too.
You don't see me running around with a stick.
And also, every time...
That was a bad analogy.
That's not bad.
Every time the guy will just speak Italian to him.
Like, what do, what do, what, do, and go...
Ah, see.
And then it cuts.
He don't know what the fuck he's saying.
Oh, so your beef with Stanley DGGZ is overselling how Italian he is.
Yeah.
That's one thing.
First, he doesn't even look at that.
He looks Jewish, the guy.
Two.
How does there's anything wrong with that?
Yeah, yeah.
Can you believe it?
They're tricking me into watching a Jew on television?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
My wife's Jewish.
She's also on TV.
All right, we got to wrap it up here on that note.
Right.
Just fucking great, Stavro's Halkeus, hitting the road hard.
Thank you.
2026.
Come see the tour.
We're coming to a bunch of places, you know, fucking flat.
Like I said, put them up here, whatever the fuck.
You guys will do it.
I love you guys.
We have a CGI budget.
It's so easy to do.
If Vald's going to figure it out, you guys can figure it out.
New guy, Luke, Luke, get on it.
Luke can figure it out.
But, yeah, I'm coming all over the place.
Boston this weekend, a couple of tickets left.
We start the four.
Four shows at the Wilbur, baby.
It's probably really fun.
Then we start in Florida, and I don't remember where, you know, Buffalo.
I'm coming to Philly.
We'll put it up for you.
We'll put it up for you.
We'll put it up for you.
Yeah, we listen to Stavvy's world, the whole thing.
Of course.
Stavvy, we love you, buddy.
Kippe, what do you got for them?
Guys, we announced our new 2026 dates, get those tickets.
A lot of fun cities playing tickets are already moving,
and then obviously Philly this weekend.
I love to see you there.
Starving, we love you.
Love you, buddy.

Peace.
