And enjoy the show Hey everybody Welcome To another episode of Disconnect No What happened? Do we need hair and makeup again before we can go? I should have won.

Oh, you're just being a bitter bitch. I gotcha. Well, welcome back, everyone, to the show where basically anything can happen, including someone rudely interrupting the hosts. Because, well, that's the kind of show we run here. But I'm the host because I won fairly, squarely, and purely. And I absolutely deserved it. Can't even remember which one of you gave me the win, to be honest.

But I know I deserved it. Well, if Mark is sad he didn't win, I have a guess at who selected the winner. Would you really be surprised if Mark was sad he didn't win when he was the host? No, because he would have just made himself win. He's not afraid to do that at all. He might have forgotten he could.

That's fair, I guess. You forgot who was hosting. How are you accusing me of a bad memory? Everyone knows I have a bad memory. That's no surprise. Got him. Alright, that's fair. Wait, no it's not! Shut up, you! You know, Mark, I have a good feeling

you're going to win this episode based on how it started. I don't care anymore. You're jumping out to a big lead. I'm playing Subway Surfers to keep me engaged. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you're doing everything you can to participate today. Bob, specifically, how are you? Okay.

I'm in a... Excuse me? He turned the volume up to protest as loudly as he could is that squeaking the game hmm yeah well we can just mute him in post that's fine actually i could just mute him right now no no no there we go uh yeah anyway i'm doing okay but i'm kind of in limbo i can unmute myself well that's annoying that's not i didn't have the kind of power i thought i did at all you know what i'll mute him too i got this that was me i muted why don't i get options no you're you're i'm i'm in control here i'm the train man okay and

what i was saying is i feel like we've done this before and I should have remembered this. I'm in limbo because I live in a house full of people who seem to have COVID. Two of the four adults have tested positive for COVID and Mandy may or may not have it. And I feel okay, but also there's just no way I'm not going to get it at this point. So I'm living on borrowed time, you know. Mark, you all right? Yeah, I got another light here. I thought maybe it was a new boar paddle. Oh, what? We have a boar

spear, so I thought maybe it was a boar paddle because it had a flat edge. Yeah, no, that makes sense. I'm with you. I'm not with him. I'm not with this guy. Was the last episode more dramatic than I'm remembering? What are you so upset about? I don't even... I'm not upset. I'm just multitasking. Can a guy be efficient with his time

can you multitask quietly mr sulky no oh well then i'll just mute you again it's fine it's fine how are you wade you know i'm doing pretty well i'm finally feeling a lot healthier i still have my like little coffee moments, but they're getting more and more space in between. You should drink tea. Yeah. Tea has been a good savior. Vitamin C, that kind of thing. I don't know.

It's just one of those ics that ics a little bit longer than you'd like, but it's slowly getting less icky. Oh, I think I was very confused. You said coffee moments, and i was so confused because bob said you should try tea and i'm like i know i and he he cruised right over that i oh well i thought because of the cough you were like tea like a tea would help your throat not coffee and tea i mean it worked on many levels i thought you said coffee and he said all three of us were confused for different reasons. Now we're all in the same room.

Metaphorically, we're all very far away from each other, really. But that's OK. I also realized I have a story I haven't told that I'm saving for small talk. No. You're going to earn some points. Well, I just want to tell it before I forget. And Bob, you already know this story, or at least you know some of it, because I told you about it whenever we were at a wedding recently.

Ah. So this is exciting only for me. Well, maybe the people watching, I'm listening, I don't know. There's people watching? This is just for you, buddy. We went up to Minnesota for a... I thought I already knew this story, so I'm just... Well, you know, whatever.

I gotta have a game going or else I won't be able to pay attention. That doesn't seem... I thought I already knew this story. So I know whatever I'm just going to, I got, I got to have a game going or else I won't be able to pay attention. That doesn't seem. Well, this is a way to feel like you have a captivated audience. One reading one gaming. We got a bunch of people listening and watching out there.

You don't need our attention. Well, I guess I'm talking to you guys. Cause my competitors here, well, they're really trying their best. Not the one. Can I give the wind to the audience? You could try try i don't know what they're gonna do about it

uh so we went to minnesota for a wedding it was a beautiful wedding and uh the day before the bride and groom who are family and friends uh we're talking to like um molly and i and who everyone else that was there and they were like yeah so tomorrow's a couple things we got to do uh would you mind like grabbing the cake and the cupcakes here's the address uh we're gonna make sure we have this we're gonna try to go over here for some photos this and that it was like yeah okay no problem we can go pick up a cake like that's easy they've already got it ordered they've already got the whole thing so sure and then like after i accepted and agreed to go get the cake and the cupcakes i was like wait i'm not in a place where i have a

car can i get a rental to take me to or can i get out like a a lift or an uber or something i get someone to drive me to pick up a cake cupcakes and like pack them in their trunk well we'll find out cerule cat an artist makes all the emotes for my twitch channel and a friend gamer whatever and then agent lyoko who uh mods for my my twitch channel uh they were the wedding their friends and uh agent drove up there from iowa he lives in a cornfield but thankfully he's allowed to have a car there uh offered he's like no i can i can drive you over we can go pick them up together so the three of us were like yeah the three amigos we're gonna get the cakes the cupcakes this is gonna be this will be fantastic i give uh agent the address puts it

in his phone and we start our drive. And we're just kind of laughing, talking, chit-chatting, drive about 30 minutes. And we get to a road-closed parking garage under construction area. And we're like, this doesn't seem like cupcakes. Is this like a kind of an industrial area? Well, I guess let's find a place to let's just drive around so we go around the construction area to the other side and uh we're starting to look for parking agent goes up guys this is my bad i i didn't put like a zero in the address this is like

109 this is 191 not 1091 or whatever the hell it was and it was like okay that's fine easy fix put in the other address how How far could it be? About three miles that way. Okay, well, another 10, 15 minutes. Whatever. That's fine. Let's go get that. Let's go over there.

We're gonna get the stuff. We get to the next address. And we pull in. Another very industrial looking area. Pull in. There's a couple buildings off to the left. Big building off to the right. And we see one way to drive.

And you have to drive under under or like through this like building complex. And there's a guy that's wearing what looks like a butcher's apron, holding a cigarette, standing outside the door. And the car in front of us pulls up, stops. They talk to the guy. He kind of like takes a puff of his cigarette, nods, points. And that car goes. Just the Minnesota Mafia?

Are we about to meet the minnesota mafia dude i we didn't know we were like kind of a weird thing for a place that sells wedding cake and cupcakes and stuff but okay so we pull up and the guy like kind of walks back inside it's like well like i guess we just go through and find parking so we went in drove around a little bit didn't see any things on the outside that looked like they had cake, cupcakes. So we park, we walk around. There are no other doors that look like they're not for staff only, except for the one where Butcher Boy was. So we walk back over and by then he's helping another person that's in their car right there.

And we walk up and we're like, hey, we're looking for cupcakes. And he's like, are you looking for um cupcakes and he's like are you looking for cupcakes or are you looking for cupcakes i don't know that we have anything like that but uh tell you what come inside we'll take a look and he opens the door and he leads us inside and inside it is like all concrete one hallway to walk around and it doesn't feel like a place you'd go for cupcakes i'm not gonna lie there's one lady that's that came in ahead of us that's walking we're kind of following her and there's nowhere else to go except for where she goes and when she walks up a staircase

we follow she opens the door and goes in we look at the door and the door has like a piece of tape next to it that just has kitchen written in sharpie oh yeah they make cupcakes in kitchens yeah there's a lot of cooking going on there i'm pretty sure that's the right place none of this has had a label as to like oh this is this industrial complex oh this is this kitchen this is the and there's other doors and there's clearly people there and we look back at the guy and he nods like to keep going forward past these doors wait oh this is this kitchen this is the and there's other doors and there's clearly people there and we look back at the guy and he nods like to keep going forward past these doors wait i thought you made some turns wait is he down the long hallway and staircase it was walk in like turn

left there's like a dead end straight ahead that looks like there's just doors that are unlabeled and then you turn right go up like a little staircase. And then there's two doors across from each other. And then ahead. Let me find my picture here. I've got a nice little image. Was it written like in crayon with like a backward C or something? Here we go. So we go up the stairs past kitchen and we come across this.

It's like a, it's like an interior inside of a hotel under construction or something like that. Yeah. It looks like a Call of Duty map duty map well and we put the label cupcakes that it's so conspicuous that they just had a sign hung up like that that just said cupcakes but we we got to this point we're like so guy in a butcher's apron standing outside smoking a cigarette guiding people there's one labeled door and it just says kitchen i'm not gonna go through the construction zone and figure out what the hell's going on so let's go back and talk to the dude and figure out what the hell so we turn around and walk back and the guy is waiting for us at like the t-junction down the stairs where the kitchen sign was he gestures to the wall and he's like got some bad news and we were like yeah what is it what's gonna happen to us and he's like i found

your cupcake place and he points to this like scratched off thing on the wall he's like looks like they ain't here anymore we're like yeah we shouldn't be either let's go and we that's what he's been talking from behind the whole way and he turns around looks like no one's been here and his face is gone for a long time but at least we had an answer that was at one point the cupcake place now it wasn't but this was the original address we were given so we uh hurry to our cars because now we're like okay this isn't the right spot and whatever this is feels like not a place we should be. This does not give off kitchen vibes.

What I don't understand is why this guy who knows the entire inside of this building is devastation would be like cupcakes, huh? There might be one amongst the rubble. Let us move some cinder blocks hither and tither until we find a crumb. There's like four doors in this place clearly there was some kind of kitchen in there and this man was some kind of savory chef i don't know if i believe it you said cupcakes that he was like well i do food stuff i don't i hope they actually do the the vibes of this place were like this felt like an industrial assembly line production facility or front for a mob

It honestly felt like the front for the mob. They usually give you tours through the mobs in Working. Well, that was the dude of the butcher's apron offering us to go inside. Why do you have a butcher's apron? I don't know man! See you weren't asking enough questions about it. Either he turned and went like, ah, the lair of the mole people sometimes has this sweet smell coming out of it. Well, let's go explore. We were convinced that the bride and or groom in our brains both had been here and ordered the cake and cupcakes. Because in our brain, it's like, well, yeah, you go and you do like a little tasting. You tell them what you want, what kind of cake, what kind of cupcakes.

They've clearly been here and done that. This is the address they gave us. This has to be the spot. I do want to say I was going to give you quite the hard time until the last little piece of info came out where that the cupcake place was actually at that spot at one point. But I just want to say, like, no matter what information someone gives you, do you not check it? If someone gave me just an address and not like just like asked me to Google it and was like, oh, yep, that's the place. That's the address.

I'll see if I can find the exact text I received. If it was just an address with a street number, I would have looked. I would have put it in and looked and been like, oh, is there a bakery on the map anywhere near there? Is it in a place where a bakery might be? Maybe I should double check because I know I get what you're saying that like the bride gave this to you. Clearly she had been to the store, but she could have copied and pasted the wrong address. That's like super easy to do.

What she sent me is like an actual like website pin. Like it has the name of the place and the address under it was it an apple maps pin or because I got some things to say about apple maps I don't know I don't really want to dox this place and like put it on it's closed what do you mean no it just moved it was

really it was relocated with it's you know if you give if you give the address of a business it's not doxing them it's just helping them I don't want not doxing them. It's just helping them. I don't want to dox this public business, okay? Let's let them have their privacy. It's a nice little map image that shows like the location. And then underneath it says the name of the place and the address.

And like all in that little like Google map image box. So they just sent you, they copied the Google Maps entry. And when you paste that into a message but i had no reason to question it because they had literally ordered a cake and cupcakes they'd been here when you drove up to the derelict building was there a lightning strike behind it did it illuminate it keeters was standing on top of the building and there was a lightning strike somehow it was it was a rainy day, but there was no lightning strikes. No, listen, I just want to say,

one, the end of the story is not very interesting. I'm not done yet! Oh, okay. Two, I would love to see, like, an actual video of what happened, because I feel like you guys wandered into a building that was under construction and a chef who was just having a cigarette break,

who was so confused. It's just like Jimmy, the kid, the kid who works at the prep station. He's, he was just trimming up steaks for the dinner service for tonight. And he was like, ah, finished that job. Let's have a smoke. That'll be nice. And then he gets harassed by some guys in a car who forced their way into his building. Like, I feel like you're like, oh, it was so spooky. I, I, you seem like like, oh, it was so spooky. I, you seem like the village to me. I gotta be honest. I just remembered this detail that you were saying, Wade,

is when you first drove up to him, he then walked inside. Did he look at your car and then go like, God, not these guys. So there was another vehicle in front of us. It was not a car that was like one of those white, not vans, but like the taller truck van type things. Like a box truck yeah but it's like a smaller box truck so it pulled up and like they got some box like the dude walked out

handed them some boxes and then they like pulled further in and whatever we were the only like car to pull through there and after he handed the boxes he stepped back inside we pulled up waited like a second he didn't come back out and we're like maybe they were just picking up a delivery like the cake or the cupcakes. Like maybe they called ahead. I don't know. Let's just go park and we'll go find a way inside and like figure this out.

And the other vehicle that had pulled up whenever we were walking up there after parking was also like a truck type thing to accept deliveries of some kind. But all of these were like unmarked boxes that he alone was helping like bring out. They would load up whatever but this was like the one way in that we could find again that wasn't like marked staff or a locked door

or something else and it was just so strange to have like drive pull up but that's also the way out is to go out that same way it was just very strange almost like you weren't supposed to be there yeah well you know we had an address that the bride and groom gave us i just okay i to give you the benefit of the doubt there is a bakery in la that amy goes to sometimes where it is kind of a similar situation you pull up to an unmarked building with no signage the windows are all frosted you text a number and then they bring you your order out or actually it's not even they bring you their order i think this was a covet thing specifically but it's like you go up to the door when they tell you to the door opens a hand appears with your order in it and then it's

not a shot behind the hand as it withdraws and then you walk home well this place at least at one point was in fact the bakery they had like the little sticker of like yeah we're here and then it was like peeled off but not perfectly where they were still like the clawed remains of this their brand what was the logo for the bakery next to was it over a door was it near a door was it a storefront no it was just on the wall of the hallway like there was a door an unmarked door and then there was like a couple stickers and it was one of them but they were all like they were all clothed off basically it was just like the one little remnant of like yeah that's the place we were looking for and the guy's like they're gone when you got there did the guy look as devastated as you guys did he go no it was more

so like he thought we i think he thought we were up to no good and we didn't belong there. And we thought he was up to no good. And then like he found that and he was like, these dumb fucks just went to the wrong place. They were actually trying to find the cupcake. I'll let them leave. So he was going to kill you. I think so. That's the vibe, at least in my brain.

That's the vibe I got. I still, this is, this dude is just at work. He's just having a day. And these, these three guys looking for cupcakes come bother him i don't think he's evil at all i'm on i'm on butcher man's side if he's the hero of this story he's not his part ends here but we get back in the car is he dead no he's just not part of this story anymore on the way out of the one lane entry exit road, we ran him down just to teach him what's for for lying to us and leading us down a hallway.

We just left. On the way there, I neglected to mention this is a small detail, whatever. It doesn't really affect the story too much. However, there was a red Prius that just decided it was going to exit. And it was in the middle lane. We were in the right lane. And this Prius, I don't know how we didn't get hit, but it flew in like the middle lane we were in the whatever the right lane and this prius i don't know how we didn't get hit but like it flew in front of us so close that like it wasn't just like

you were riding their bumper it was like it looked like it passed through the hood it was so close like it we should have been in a bad accident so we were a little bit freaked out from that got there this happened we're kind of freaked out we go to leave i find another address i search the place i find another address i'm like all right we got another address let's go try this one so this is a bit further away uh from where we currently are i think it's a little bit closer to their venue so it makes sense okay we have another we have another location this is on their website i don't know why we didn't think to call at any point but we didn't we just got another address got in the car drove on the way there a red prius

almost side swiped us i swear it was the same one it felt like they were we were being hunted by this one red prius we pull up to the venue where the cupcakes and cakes should be and there's a big sign advanced concrete sawing ink cool and there's like a big pile of like sawdust and this is the location we have the new location we have for cake and cupcakes and our concern now is how do they make these cakes and cupcakes with sawdust um and concrete so we go around the building no doors except for behind like a barricaded gated parking area pull out of the parking lot go to the right go into another side of the parking lot go around no marked doors no signs of any kind there is a gated area that's kind of like you can go back there but it clearly

feels like you're not supposed to be back there so i tell the guys to park and there are two doors on this side of the building one of which i walk up to and just try it it's locked another one i walk up to and it has like a buzzer and i'm like you know after walking through the butcher abandoned nightmare on elm street location might as well ring the buzzer and see what happens so i ring they answer i say hi i'm here to pick up a cake and cupcakes for a wedding today okay hold on and the door opens and this lady comes out and she's like uh she actually says the name of the wedding party was like oh my god we found it yes and we walk inside and inside just like in the previous location they have a wall with stickers or whatever on the thing of like different locations that are in this building and one of them is

finally our cupcake place we get our cake we get our cupcakes we load it up and we've got it but none of these locations had any signs outside to indicate that any of these places existed this was a two and a half hour endeavor two and a half hours two and a half hours to get these cakes and cupcakes did you when you walked into the construction building did you walk down and you look at your clock you're like no wait no how we were in there five minutes and then it was two hours later it wasn't quite like there was a lot of driving did you see a guy with eyeballs in his hands did you see that at all in there not in no in the first building we went inside of it would not have surprised me but we before we walked up to the pit of despair that was clearly next to under the construction area we our spidey senses tingled and said get the fuck out do not go over there

and we both all three looked at each other like i'm not walking any further that direction we're getting the hell out of here this isn't there's no cupcakes over there as you ran out of the door back to the car you just hear from behind you echoing you want to play a game hey where'd they go i think it was actually like a convention center for like freddy krueger and uh jigsaw and all them to meet up like hang out go over killing strategies and stuff that felt like that kind of building yeah they usually have conventions for three people yeah they do that and i gotta say the cupcakes i didn't have any of the cake because it was like a personal wedding party cake, I think, or at least bride and groom cake. Didn't have any of the cake, but the cupcakes were very good and did not taste like sawdust. The place did a very good job and it was good. Why it used to be in a mafia murder

factory and then moved into a place right next to sawdust, I don't know. It's almost like things exist in the world all next to each other. You're not worried about doxing these people, but you're, you're painting an association between the sawdust outside and then the cakes inside. I'm saying there was not, but whenever we first got there, I'm not going to lie. We had the thought. Yeah. I go into restaurants sometimes and then I I just I see a trash can outside and I'm like you don't think oh no it's a little different look I'm not saying that the cupcakes were 80 sawdust but I am saying that we don't know what proportion of the cupcakes were sawdust I think zero percent I think zero you did you have a cupcake maybe i had one yeah they were good they were good okay i believe i had one of the vegan ones because i didn't know there was a

difference and like as far as vegan cupcakes go it was real good it was like a normal cupcake it wasn't it's fine and to harken back a little bit whenever we were um years ago we went to uh indie pop con and uh bob and mandy were having their anniversary there so we actually grabbed a cake for your anniversary and we drove it to Indianapolis from Cincinnati and along the way whenever you have a cake that you know is important you're trying your best to hold it steady and not let it slide but like

anytime you turn or break you inevitably hear the and you feel it's like and you just hope that they've done something inside where the cake's not just slamming against the edges so we had the wedding cake after two and a half hours of trying to find it. We had the wedding cake and it was still a 30 minute drive or so back to the venue. And along the way, there was a bumper on the side of the road that looked like it belonged to the Red Prius.

I'm not joking. It was the third. Oh, a car bumper. Like a car bumper on the side of the road. No close calls because i'm pretty sure they already had their close call there uh but along the way the cake is just like well you don't know if concrete powder murder mystery cake company knows how to package a cake so that it doesn't touch the sides of the box but the way they did the box was it was like

a bottom box a top box but not like slid over it it was like held up and then taped because the cake i guess was tall or something so i couldn't even like peek to see without like damage like messing with the tape and stuff like i don't know i'm not doing it i'm just gonna hold it and hope get to the wedding you open it like finally god you wouldn't believe it's like a hunk of concrete in there i was more worried about just it being destroyed from the drive but concrete would have been worse but we brought all the men we set them down and we were just like we didn't mess with it so whatever happened happened i tried my best i held that cake as steady as i could what an absolute delivery driver move. You got there, you set the food down on the table,

and you were like, hey, I'm just the delivery guy, okay? Whatever. I take no responsibility. Well, at this point, our 20-minute cupcake endeavor that we imagined had turned into multiple hours, and I still had to go get dressed and ready for, well, a wedding that day. Surprise, surprise. Which is, I still don't, i've heard this whole story and i

took it all in i still don't understand how it took 24 like two not 24 hours two and a half hours because it was just like we had to go from like the wedding venue which was up in like minnesota near the twin cities into like the downtown of the cities for these different locations because we went to the wrong spot looked around for around for a minute. Couldn't find it. Finally realized we had the wrong address. Went to the correct spot. Tried to figure out what the fuck to do. Went inside. Wandered around Nightmare on Elm Street's hell.

Came back outside. We were in the car for a few. Tried to figure out the right address. Messaging the bride and groom. Like hey this place didn't like shut down. Since you placed your order right. Like that kind of thing. Got the right address.

Had to drive to the correct place again. And like all of these places were a bit farther apart from each other than we would have liked. So we went on quite the drive through the downtown of Minneapolis, St. Paul. I just loved this. I believe one of the rules in a wedding

is not to freak out the bride and groom. I hope you left a series of harrowing voicemails. All right, I don't know where this is it just looks abandoned but i'm going in if i don't come back please we did not message them about that we were just like hey i think this is the wrong address is there another address and uh that was it and she's like oh yeah uh let's see and like i was like never mind i think i found one we'll try this one that that's not the time or place for a prank but that would be so funny you live a series of voicemails one of them you're like on the highway lots of road noise and you're like no don't worry we can find a grocery store we'll go to like an iga and we'll get you a nice

red prius tires screeching crashing noises also if you drive a red prius in like the saint paul area of minnesota what's wrong wrong with you? Did you do something to the bride and groom to where this was like some sort of personal revenge prank situation? Well, so the groom is my cousin-in-law and I'm pretty sure he has it out for me. Despises me. I think this was all him.

I think this was a setup for him. He sent me to the mob to get killed. Wait, was he your cousin-in-law before the wedding or after the wedding before when i married molly he became my cousin right okay i was just i don't know the in-law thing okay got it got it got it bride sweet lovely fantastic person would never do anything the groom monster but you know that's neither here nor there we survived we survived the prius attacks we survived the mob and we survived the sawmill

yeah what else do you want to talk about host of today's episode Mark did you have anything small you want to mention before I get into it into the episode we're just starting I mean I got a you know what I don't think i have time for it all right well this was the small talk episode thank you all for joining me i've got a pretty

easy topic we don't have to go too in depth with it so honestly it won't be that bad if you have anything you want to talk about worst case i can save this topic and we can just chat i don't know what the topic is i feel like you're supposed to be driving this bus wade we're here trying to engage with your topic and you're not even giving us a topic to engage with you hear that subreddit you think that it's us who does this it's wade who does this i had a story to tell i want to tell it and you did we're not questioning that well i just wanted to let you tell your small talk if you had any that's it maybe that could have occurred before the big story but well yeah but you were throwing a hissy fit back then so i just wanted to move on and you see why you see why it doesn't

make sense but also it makes sense now can it be like that where you did something that doesn't make sense but then the subsequent events make it make more sense is time non-linear in this podcast all right today's topic everyone okay i was just talking about stuff but that's fine today's topic, everyone. Oh, okay. I was just talking about stuff, but that's fine. Today's topic is I missed that. What? Things we miss. Not necessarily people, because we all have people that we miss, but things from our past that we miss.

I talked about on this show a little while back, one of my favorite places to get food. Bob texted me recently. One of you guys out there tweeted at us and told us that Buffalo Joe's in Cincinnati, Ohio was closing. Where we went for your bachelor party. Yes. Where Mark ordered his wings extra wet and a side of garlic sauce and he got

a bowl of liquid and a little ketchup thing of garlic sauce. That was legendary. That was quite the move. Oh my god, it's so funny. I don't think they're economical model by serving a gallon of sauce per order well they're gone now and it's not because of economics it turns out the owners just wanted to retire and rather than like keep the business going they sold it the to somebody else or whatever and they

i don't know what it's going to be now but they uh buffalo joe's is gone molly and i went there one final time but i'm very sad and i'm going to miss that and i already missed that i'm getting mixed messages here wait hold the phone i'm glad i texted you about that i almost didn't because i didn't i didn't know if it was real and i was like it's probably just the internet hold pause but you said you've said contradictory things they it didn't shut out for economic reasons they sold they wanted to retire so they they sold the- So Buffalo Joe's will still continue. Listen, this happens with restaurants. They didn't sell Buffalo Joe's. They sold a building and a bunch of equipment, right?

They sold this to another person, and the other person's like, I have my own restaurant idea. I'll take all this equipment and open our new restaurant in this restaurant location because it's already set up with a kitchen and everything. But they didn't like sell it's not like a franchise where they like sold their b-dubs to someone else to run a b-dubs it's like they sold it off but someone's going to run it as a restaurant still because it's already has everything this is third party info too so like it's not like the owners came up to us and told

us that all this it's like we heard this it happens all the time in like home like small town businesses mark where it's like well they have a whole bunch of so it could still technically be buffalo joe's afterwards it sounds like it's already sold and it will not be could it have been maybe but like juffalo bows i would love if it was still buffalo joe's but i don't believe that's going to be the case it sounds like it's going to be a different restaurant. It sounds like the restaurant of Theseus is what I'm saying is if it really has the same inner workings, the same walls, the same kitchen equipment, but serves unrelated food. This goes back to my story earlier, Mark. This is like I go into the door labeled kitchen expecting cupcakes and instead they're cutting

off the head of a fish. They didn't do that. But they could have. I didn't go in there. But point being is there was no cupcakes. So we could go into Buffalo Joe's, but they probably won't have wings because it's not a Buffalo Joe's anymore.

Juffalo Bo's. Yeah, Juffalo Bo's, but it's going to have like soup, salad, and sandwiches instead of wings or something. I don't know. They had salad at Buffalo Joe's. You just never bought it. They probably had soup.

I mean, they had wing soup that's what mark ordered but yeah basically what is the difference they probably had other like regular soup too and i'm sure you could make a sandwich with it was my favorite restaurant and it's gone and i'm sad it might not be i'm trying to give you hope you know what that means wade we need to go in and open our own wing joint in cincinnati buffalo wades they the owners were there and they like we were on the way out like one of the workers was a fan of the of our i think our podcast but like watch my stuff too and whatnot and uh i told him on the way i was like yeah if you whenever you guys shut down if you can get like an extra menu

or something i'd love just to have one to remember this place and the owners were like here have one they like get cleaned off and gave me like a menu to take home oh i asked i was like you guys gonna like give out your recipes sell your recipes or anything and like they gave us some of the secrets so i've got some ideas of how to do what they did but like it's not the same it's not gonna be the same they're like fryers their oils all that stuff we won't have but juffalo wades they never changed the oil once not one time really baked in the flavor that's part of the flavor of a restaurant mark once you get the oil in there that sets your flavor profile point being is it made me think of places that we might miss or

things we might miss from our past and that's why i wanted you guys to talk about we don't have a whole lot of time but we can talk about some things but like buffalo joe's a family-owned restaurant that's now gone if you have a story that takes the rest of the time mark go for it i don't why you look so sad i was just sort of doing enough time to dwell on things reminisce and nostalgialize well you know we could always do i miss that part two you know what i miss it's not it's more of a perspective than anything else. But when we were kids and we'd go ride our bikes around, and I don't know what it was for you guys, but for us, there was like a drainage area

on the edge of our neighborhood. It was honestly a pretty small hill that went down into like the field. And so you could climb up to the top of the hill and ride your bike down the hill. And it was like, woo, for like half a second. It was fun. I miss that being exciting.

I feel like such a jaded old man saying it like that, but like I have, I have a sports car now and like, I don't do anything insane. Cause I also have a family and a baby. When I was a kid, shit was so exciting. The first time I ever drove like a go-kart, it was going like 10 miles an hour. Right. It was like a, not an exciting go-kart but i remember i hit the gas pedal and it was like oh like light speed now this no now there's nothing that's that exciting i miss being able to to do something for the first time where it's like whoa oh jump out of a plane no see i want to live and also i'm pretty sure i'm too i would need like three parachutes i'm pretty sure i'm too heavy for that i don't think that's necessarily the case because they do tandem parachutes all the time i weigh more than two normal sized people depending on the country

you're talking about so well i still think it's possible but hey let me tell you i um i don't think i ever mentioned this but super 73 sent me a free bike and i'm supposed to say that and say thank you super 73 so i'm taking this as the opportunity to do that now. I'm glad you missed that. I love that bike very much. So, um, but it gave me that feeling. It was like, I was a kid again, riding the bike. That was a fantastic moment. Cause I like, I'm not going any faster than like my car is, but there's a difference. I I've, I've ridden a motorcycle before I've done that. I don't do it anymore cause it's too dangerous, but this is like a fun middle ground where I'm pedaling, going down these hills, flying at speeds, you know, 30 miles an hour through these roads that, you know, speed

limits 35, but it's still, it felt incredibly exciting. I just rode my bike because it was fun. I didn't have anywhere to go. I went down to the end of the street and back up again, you know, just powering through corners, like twisting around, seeing how fast I could push it, just going downhill. The feeling is still there of that. It's just like, you know, it's contextualized a little differently and there's a lot of other distractions and it can seem unimportant. The thing that I think the difference is when you're a kid and very few things seem unimportant or more specifically, I guess, as an adult, more things seem more important than riding a bike. But it's like, yeah, the feeling is there.

You just have to allow yourself a moment to capture it. But again, it is like perspective does need to change. It wouldn't have been the same if I had a regular bike. It needed to be a little faster, a new experience. It was fun to have that. I think it still can happen i definitely do because i felt it yeah i guess i'm under i guess i'm not giving myself enough credit i will say i had a i have a friend who has a um tesla model s plaid which is like the fastest one basically

that were one of the fastest plat teslas that exists and we did a full-on drag strip launch it was just like in a parking lot and we only went you know like a hundred feet or something because it's not it wasn't a drag strip but that that car goes zero to 60 and what is this like two seconds or like something like under two seconds that for like the moment where it was like he hit the gas pedal and it was like that and that feeling did occur but it was followed so quickly by holy fuck we're gonna die oh my god i could never do that again the fearlessness is gone when you were a kid going down a hill full speed on the bike it was like this is awesome as an adult it's like my body will never recover yeah no i it was it was that feeling but it's chased so aggressively

by the feeling of like this is so dangerous and irresponsible just ruins the fun you know i need to no i'm not gonna i was just gonna say i need to get drunk and then do it you could be a drunk passenger in a car i was not meaning that I would drive a car. But you could get drunk and then ride in a car. Yeah, you know what would fix that? A little cocaine cut the edge right off that fear. But yeah, like, no, I need something to take the reality check away. Because it's just not...

When I was a kid, it was fun forever. You get home from the bike ride and you're like, God, that hill is awesome. Yeah. Self-preservation is like a powerful thing and i've got it very strongly i used to climb up on like my mom's roof to do the gutters and like it was a two-story house but in the back the basement was exposed to so it was like a three-story drop and she had kind of like sloped roof so it was like i remember i got up there one day and it was like still kind of wet and i was on this roof trying to like reach down to clean out the gutters in the back. And I remember sliding at one point and like, man, that would have sucked. And I went back to it.

Now, if I looked out there and it was perfectly dry, but I saw like a leaf below, I'd be like, nah, I'd step on that leaf and die. I can't risk that. You slid toward a three-story drop and you're just like, huh, damn. Yeah. I mean, back then it was like, yeah, what am I going to do, die? I'll roll or something. You know what was down below me?

Concrete steps and a concrete entryway. You could roll down the steps to break your fall and disperse the energy. I'd be fine if I fell three stories on the concrete. What bad could have happened? Just tuck and roll. Land on all fours really disperse it shoulder to hip cross your body disperse it worked out great for me always works what do you miss mark what do i miss man uh places things feelings or something from like

is this just another way is this we're getting older part three i mean not intentionally because my thought was like buffalo joe's is a restaurant that's gone it has nothing to do with getting older like toys r us clothes blockbusters got places like that like my my thought going in was like things that just aren't there anymore but like adapting into feelings is fine it just wasn't my original intent but you guys can whatever you miss is fine to mention. It can be that, but that wasn't my goal. I miss, I talk about it sometimes, but what I miss, and it's purely like nostalgia, probably, but it harkens back to my days of playing World of Warcraft. I don't miss World of Warcraft specifically. I miss the simplicity of life where that could be the only thing that I do. And I know that like right

now I could obviously just do that. There's nothing that would, the world would not end. My world would not end if I just decided to like, I'm just going to go fuck off into the woods with a good internet connection. And I'm going to just play games for the rest of my days. I could do that. Like that's not a real problem, but I miss the simplicity of it where the, the only issue I had was, man uh should i should i i wasn't going to do my homework no matter what so that was not the question i was like man i had homework and shit to do what days did you have nah i wasn't going to do that yeah i was only in engineering school who needed to do that dude homework is for nerds i know right but then at

the end of it i was like oh, I really shouldn't skip class. Then I go into another dungeon immediately. If you want to play World of Warcraft, your roommate's probably still playing. One of my roommate. He lived across the hall. My bad, my bad. I thought he shared a room with you guys. That guy, Aaron, lived across the hall.

He might still be playing. He might be. He might be. Is that his name? Was that even the right name? Yeah, Aaron. Okay. But it wouldn't be the same. I mean, I've dabbled in world of warcraft a little bit here and there it's fun sometimes but it's like it's not the same because it's it's about the

people and it's about that shared experience of like novelty of you know exploration just like wow we're all discovering it together and that's kind of lost in the race of like we gotta be good and i'm not saying that's not just a disparaging thing that's how all games naturally trend towards when they're multiplayer like that is like there's a skill level that you have to meet um it didn't it's totally unrelated but did i i only saw rumblings about this but did that did destiny 2 literally like blow up its entire fan base for some reason they've been making a lot of decisions that have been making people very upset they fired a bunch of people as well they did also have to like fire yeah they let a bunch of people go or whatever else including like one of the like the person who composed the the music like the original destiny music composer they just

fired oh yeah because that music wasn't great no the music is not a defining feature of that franchise or anything yeah yeah so they've been doing a lot of things it seems like every company once they like get success i don't know if it's a shareholder a lot of things it seems like every company once they like get success i don't know if it's a shareholder thing or what causes it but like they just forget what they did that got them there and they're like man people really love that we did this what if we just fucking don't anymore and fire everybody whoa ceo pay i don't know they've made a lot of decisions the last few years that have just lost people a game that had a lot of promise after destiny one destiny one launched it was a little bit raw but i loved it destiny 2 came out i played it and i was like okay okay well

i don't like it as much as destiny one so far but i'm sure it'll get there with some dlcs and stuff and it just never did for me i quit playing a long time ago but everyone else was still pretty hype about it and then they split from activision or whatever it was everyone was like man now that they're good now that activision's not there making them do stuff, they're going to be so much better. Well, lo and behold, they were not so much better. They've just been slowly crashing and burning, and I don't know why. It was them the whole time. I don't know what the state of the game is exactly, but I never hear anything good anymore. You know what I miss?

This is, I guess, another step towards the we're getting older thing, but this is actually a thing that existed that doesn't exist anymore. I miss the early internet. I took for granted the days, like, for us specifically, like, probably 2005 through, like, the mid-2010s-ish era of the internet. That was the time where you started doing YouTube and content stuff. Sure. It's not even that long ago, really. I guess i miss browsing that internet because it it felt i remember when we were in college i remember feel like oh it's hard to find stuff but then when you did find

like a good website or like a good forum or something it was so like unadulterated and it wasn't always good and there was a lot of like terrible crap or low quality posts just you know like there is on the internet but there wasn't like the the new age social media issue of like algorithmic promotion of stuff it's better and worse but like i i took it for granted man i if i could go back then i would appreciate that so much more using sites like what was that thing called like dig where it would just bring you bring you more like random websites and like 90 of it was like nope nope no but then you'd find that one thing and it's like ah sick cool like that it was actually fun now social media is just

exhausting i never lived that period that well like i i went to new grounds and i think there was like a website i don't know what era it was but there was like stupid videos or something like that that was i mean classic new grounds is a good example too like that nothing wrong with full old school new grounds when i was on a computer it was usually diablo 2 or like roller coaster tycoon or something and i do miss i miss diablo 2 classic feeling of diablo 2 diablo 4 i think is getting better diablo 3 i thought ended up in a great spot but there was something about the Wild West nature of Diablo 2 where everything you had could be traded at all times. There was no time limit on it.

There was no like, oh, you can't trade a unique. You can't trade a legendary. It was if you found it, if it dropped, you could trade it. And there were rooms set up like you can come pick up my, I'm going to go kill Bale or I'm going to go do a Diablo run. You get to pick up the loot. Like, oh, sweet. Or there were the people that would trick you like oh come to me there's a bunch of loot on me oh okay and you go to them they enable pvp they kill you they take your gold got them or there was people that

was like enter your username and password on this site see they're not telling you to be putting on the site log in and uh you'll get a free stone of jordan ring and i was like oh a free saw yeah i'll do that lost my account you actually did it oh no dude i was like 10 years old i fell for that shit yeah i lost so many accounts the different scams and back then also if you weren't active on your battle.net account for like a certain amount of time your account would expire i lost like five or six accounts of diablo 2 but i loved the game so much that i would go back and there were also like people that you would go into their room and they were just, they played for so long nonstop. They just had, they called mules. I'm sure you guys know where you just had characters that held shit

because there wasn't like an infinite stash. So they would go get on one of their mules and be like, oh, you lost your account. Dude, I'm so sorry. Here. And they would just drop end game stuff. You're like level three sorcerer. It's like, here you go. You can have this. Sorceress for Diablo 2 2 but it was just so fun interacting with like i had a reason to go interact with a bunch of people i didn't know some were great interactions some were just like pure transactional and some were dealing with scammers and sometimes when you knew someone was trying to scam going into their game and like warning other people like this dude's scamming you don't do it and they'd be like so pissed they

would leave and go make a new game and like people would go follow them and just like go into their scam games and tell the people nope don't do it this guy's a scammer there was just it was just fun i don't know all of that stuff was fun the good the bad the memories and i feel like i learned a lot doing it and i i miss that we are getting older i'm going to be contrarian here sure and this is not me not engaging with the topic this is just like how i feel honestly it's like I don't really miss that much. I really don't miss much about, you know, you could get nostalgic about the things of childhood, but I feel like that's like a universal feeling no matter what. But also at the same time, I really like the now. I know people are very doom and gloom about the now, but I like being in an era with such profound change occurring, both in technology, in the world. I don't like it in terms of like, oh boy, I hope more chaos happens.

But I like, I recognize that this moment in time is important. And to exist in times where things can be important and things are changing at a rapid pace and decisions will have to be made by the people living in that era to affect the future and being on the cusp of like certain things. A lot of people bemoan the idea of like, we were too born too late to like discover the world. We're born too early to discover the stars. I was like, this is the moment that decides whether it's going to be a future at all. You know, like it's kind of is profound in a way for me. And I, being the person that I am, I would rather live in this era than pretty much any other. I don't want to go back in time and live in another era.

I don't even want to go back to my childhood again, because it's like seeing these things is in its own way amazing. I don't think I'd want to go back. I don't think that's it. I think it's just, I wish I could have that feeling of what it was like play diablo 2 in the now so you want to go back to that when i go back to like no the era of 10 minute loading screens all the time and having to like clean off discs for your playstation then you get a scratch it's like now i gotta go buy a new copy of the game because this got scratched and my scratch doctor whatever the

hell it was called that you used didn't really work like all of those things like having to go get the physical game shark in your box of like just crap oh you want to trade pokemon get your link cable it was both nostalgic but also it was a bunch of crap you just had to have to do things and computers ran 10 minutes to boot up the internet 10 minutes to boot up the pc and then like you're being yelled at the whole time like i need to use the phone it's like i'm in the middle of doing a durial run give me a minute mark what what you said makes me wonder how much everyone feels like that about their time comparatively right now stuff technology is moving really fast things are changing really fast but like if you compare any point in time to, like, the previous half century, it's relatively a lot faster than it was, right?

Like, when the steam engine was invented and railroads proliferated, people were like, you can get from one side of the country to the other in, like, two weeks instead of two months? Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? And now instead of a horse carrying a letter for her, you can transmit beeps and bips over a wire and get a half of a sentence transmitted in mere minutes? And it's like, I do wonder how much it feels like that to everyone. Because if you appreciate where you are, like now compared to a lot of other times,

there is a lot of crazy chaos and terrible things happening. But the advances and the potential that is here is exciting if you focus on that for sure oh and uh yeah no what an uplifting way to see it i think we always take our current era for granted it's like we look back we look forward and then like we look back to now it's like man i missed this stuff that's not so it makes sense but i still think there's some things that are just gone going to blockbuster you can't do it anymore yes it's great having the streaming services and everything else having access to those things like being able to just watch movies and shows whenever you want is amazing can i just

say objectively no it's not it's the convenience of it is great the the great the great streaming service war that is coming that has already begun and is coming where you're gonna be like do i want to watch star wars ever or do i not care about like, do I want to watch Star Wars ever? Or do I not care about that? Or do I want to watch these movies ever? Or do I not? Because am I going to have Paramount or am I going to have Disney or that sucks? I agree that having to have 30 streaming services sucks. The convenience of it is that what I'm talking about. But there was something about going in and like picking up a VHS tape or picking up a box with like a video game cartridge and being like oh my god we're renting this i get to play this i get to watch this this week yes

like that was an amazing feeling that's gone that i also will miss i guess i just wish that was also still more of an option because i feel like going to a store and renting even going to a store and like buying content in that way isn't the same as it used to me because like you know a lot of new video games you buy it in the store and it's a card with like a code on it and you redeem it online stuff like that like i wish it was still an option because i don't want to give up the convenience of watching anything anywhere anytime on my phone but it'd be nice to get exactly what i do want in the times where i'm like i really want to watch this one movie i just love to see this movie and it happens to not currently be streaming on any platform so it doesn't exist anymore yeah it's weird thinking back to like i think it was netflix that first started as like

the little box thing outside of like no that's red box netflix started as a mail order service which my dad did which was amazing we did mail order we had we could have two at a time and you send one back and you get the next one on your queue that was the shit i remember when that started that was awesome i never did any of that my dad my dad was into that yeah it's it's it is that thing where you missing something a lot of times comes with the association of like you didn't you didn't you took it for granted like you didn't appreciate when it is and i think like that is my mindset now is just like i am trying to appreciate the now for what it is despite its flaws or you know honestly for its flaws because back then those inconveniences were probably

very inconvenient at the time. And like talking about the internet connecting, taking a while, um, you know, computers being slower, but, uh, by appreciating it for what it is, I think that gives a healthier mindset. So it's not so much looking backwards or forwards. It's looking at the now, which I feel like is a very difficult knife's edge to balance sometimes. Cause you know, looking too far in the future can make people pessimistic and can make people be like it was better back then or it's going to hell now. Instead of like looking at looking at the today of things and seeing how today could be. There's a there's a quote from someone. I can't remember what it is, but it's like you shouldn't spend waste your time borrowing grief from the future because you know there will be a time for that um and it will come regardless the the best thing you could do for the now is to appreciate

it as it occurs i think what mark is saying is that missing things is for losers thank you and you shouldn't miss anything because you have stuff right now so just do that stuff you idiot what a brave take did I paraphrase did I paraphrase your hot take correctly honestly you you did it better what a brave take you did it so good it's basically your own take now and I should receive no credit for that take

unless I should yeah host who's winning points before I say that do you guys have any final things you want to get out there about missing before we move on we can do a whole other episode of this I think this is a good topic I miss your hair I don't actually

okay that's fair I miss not having all the gray hair but like I wish I had shaved my head earlier in life I wish I had just bitten the bullet and tried it because man I like being bald I will not I'm not looking forward to I'm very likely to bald at some point I am not looking forward to i'm very likely to bald at some point i am not looking forward to it i have a terrible head shape for that i have a very tall very tall

forehead very flat sides of my head i'm gonna look like a goddamn easter island statue when i have to shave my head at some point here well i seriously considered like doing like a wig of some kind like trying to get a wig that looked like my old hair and just like getting one of those because i didn't know what i would look like i think that if you're actually worried about like that's a legit route to go is like try to get a wig made that looks like your hair the way it currently is and then not to worry about it i don't know why it feels like there's almost like get head surgery come on just change your head shape oh i thought you meant like i thought you meant like hair hair replace i was like there is No, no, the problem wasn't the hair. The problem was the head shape. You gotta listen.

You gotta listen. So what? Cut my skull off, squish my brain into a new, better head shape. Yeah, just shave it all down, squish it in there. Can you imagine if they had skull replacement surgery where they just like literally just took your eyes, put them into a new skull and all that? That'd be awful. They don't have to take your

eyes out. They just cut it off right here and just let your eyes sit in the bottom half while they put the new top half on oh what if you want a new bottom half too what's that tom cruise movie that's some uh face off minority report yeah that's a minority report the eyes are placed you go you go to a sketchy apartment and a guy sneezes in your open brain while he while he puts a new skull on top of you for you so you look different this sneeze is good for you. Builds your immune system. There's so many antibiotics or something.

It's fine. Lasers. Just calm down. Also, you shouldn't be awake for this. Go to sleep. What are you doing awake noticing my sneezes? Well, I'm glad we got this into the I missed that. I think I do miss that head reconstruction.

My hair, I don't miss. I'm glad you miss it. I don't it that's good that's good spend a lot of time talking about my cupcake story i think it was worth it so honestly i should make myself the winner for that great tale but that bold take there at the end mark i just got to give it to you i think i think mark wins my take my bold take that i summarized no no no no no no no that was my take that sounded like i said that i said no i said almost i said almost it's almost should go to you hey you gotta be credit for it so it's basically my my words my take my words my take that was my take it was all my you guys want to flip a coin for it it's been a wheel that doesn't sound good um mark for saying that you should never miss

anything or anyone ever i think that that's just such a bold claim that you should win i go to graveyards sometimes and i see people crying and be like why think about it you're not appreciating the now you just roll you roll the window down as you drive by like idiots you throw like your fast food cup drink at them all their morning yeah that's me that's me all the time i see a hearse i slash the tires like why are you even wasting the time just chop them up and throw them on the flower bed spend all this money on caskets and funerals i just mulch the whole hearse i shove it in it's not a it's not a fast one though it's like one of those yeah youtube channels where it's like a really slow cruncher you tip it in and it's all

the back half of the hearse gets hung up for a minute it's like sideways and the thing is just like and the driver's sitting there watching it slowly get sucked in it's like i should get out of here oh but i'm so scared i don't know what to do it's like that what movie is that austin powers where the guy gets slowly run over by the steam roller he's being crushed very slowly. Meanwhile, Grandpa's stuck in the corner there. Bob, do you have a loser speech? Was that my winner speech?

We'll find out. I feel like I did my best, and I'm not going to hold on to things that are in the past. I'm going to take Mark's advice and live in the now. And right now, I'm a loser. But by focusing on the now, it makes you... It feels better than if I didn't think about it. You're winning at being a loser. I'm the best loser here.

Mark, great winter speech. Hmm? Oh, sorry, Mark, winter speech. Listen, sadness is just in your head. Stop. No, that's it. Don't say anything else. That's it. That's it. Stop. Dude, I gotta

do a therapist. Try an approach I've never seen before. I sat down and was like, oh, it's so hard. I'm just overwhelmed. Shut up. I can't wait for all the posts on the subreddit where Mark just cured their depression. Yep. Everyone's just like, oh. Why did i ever think of that just press the stop button it's so simple it's so elegant or have sadness replacement surgery where they just cut out the sadness and they fill it up with joy duh this has been an episode it's it's wade's episode so he endorses
