You're richer than you think. I'm looking at recipes on how to make the lamb-beef combination so I can have gyros or gyros at home. Oh, don't you have a rotisserie thing? Yeah. I sure do. I knew that. I was like, that's been stored up in here for later. Oh, speaking of, I should have left this for the other part.

speaking of things that some of us have other people are jealous of do you know what setting is on my new air fryer because we get new air fryer because he glutened it yeah there's a dehydrate setting how long would it take though i don't know and i didn't even see it until like we like got like i didn't see it on the box like or anything like i just knew it had good reviews and it was small and i was like oh this will be perfect and like maybe the second or third time i used it i was like i don't know what the rest of the buttons are and i was like dehydrate she's gonna flip i'll see if there's like anything that i even have the remotest desire to dehydrate and i'll see if it like doesn't one of those mangoes well because i did see that they had some of the

air fryers similar to yours which is like a toaster oven one but you like don't love your no i do love mine no but you don't love what aspect of it you said i just don't like that you have to sit there and tap it so many times to get the or turn it to get it to the because it doesn't have buttons oh didn't you say you didn't like one of the settings on it like you if i said that then i have since learned how to properly use it because it was one of those things that you were like it was like you just get a separate one like i don't like these two things to get there's one thing that you had said but well we didn't get it granted we don't have the counter space for it at this point um and i do want something like that eventually but

this air fryer is great i love it and tbd let me know what should i dehydrate i just told you you wait sorry you said get a mango from down the street and put it in there they're not ripe yet huh they're not ripe yet green mango no maybe i get a plantain i do love some plantain chips plantain in any fucking form i'll take it yeah so fucking good sprouts they're only like two books for the whole bag the best not the the ones that sprouts actually makes not like another brand yeah yeah um the best plantain use i've ever seen which is a huge statement because everything is so good i love a sweet plantain i love a savory plantain my like hometown restaurant that was like the like everyone loves it so it's called soul food it's cuban it's

so fucking is it cuban yeah it's so fucking good so fucking good so expensive and these the men who work there they don't give a shit about you because they know the food is so good and that is my favorite energy in a restaurant where they're like if you say you want something they're like no that's if they mess up your order they're like do you want us to take it back i'm not remaking it do you not want it and i'm like no it's fine i'll have it and like they literally will serve you half an avocado or a tomato they won't even cut it up you have to like cut with little butter knife whatever but they have this fucking sandwich the toast on a sandwich with two like fried plantains as the bread and it's a beefsteak sandwich and it's got the beefsteak

and it's got like um uh like a like a sauce on it too and they've got this like spicy hot sauce which is truly the best hot sauce in the world speaking of i'm gonna need to get some of that maybe i can order it online because like when i used to go um that was like i would always just like get bottles and bottles of hot sauce and bring it back home but it's my favorite kind of hot sauce because it's like a vinegary hot sauce oh it's so fucking good now i want it is louisiana is that like a red one yep that is a different category to me this i know i don't like a chalua if i don't like green i don't want it no this one is like almost not clear but it's like it looks like chili oil but it's not okay yeah that's not the same thing no not at all

it's in its totally different category it's like what you would put instead of like citrus on like squeezing a lime on something you'd put this on it and they have a limeade oh my god fuck i want soul food oh it's so fucking good i want a limeade from sonic oh rep sonic here every day we really do so i'm getting a free promo all the fucking time anyways welcome to see you go ahead next tuesday i see that you've edited the videos i've posted and added uh thumbnails i did great i love that because i sent them to you and then they didn't get posted and i was like i'll just start posting them and then she can fix them along the way melissa we didn't even need to talk about it i knew when you were doing that that was the expectation on my end and i said as soon as i

get my meds girl i i see the i see that what you were putting down and i will do my part and if i have problems with the colors of the captions you used or the font that's on me because i didn't upload them i'm i'm using i'm matching the color to what show it is you're matching the color i don't love the font but you're matching the color but i know it's the font if i was like if you said close your eyes megan what is melissa gonna do i would say she's gonna do pink on pink and blue on blue and this is the font she'll pick great it's on break it's totally on break because again this is a 50 50 this is a 50 50 venture and you'll know that melissa made the videos megan made those thumbnails

especially if i'm gonna collab on those posts yeah i knew i know you laugh was part of the i know it was you poking me on facebook poke poke not just a poke like we need to post these yeah and if you are collabed you're gonna do something exactly and here's the thing i just needed to get my meds and i finally did yeah and then next you can start working on the merch yep let me put that on my to-do list again you really just have to upload the images everything i know much i think i even started doing it great all right so this is episode 117 i'm up first melissa wants ghost well i should say what this show is welcome to see you next tuesday this is a show that's like a back door to but am i wrong you come not to be

confused with the back door of this i'm fisting friday this i have to be specific you do you got to be specific um you come in you well you hear what we have to say then you come in and you share your thoughts and um here's the first one that's up if you haven't listened to the episode that's on you go back you'll enjoy it this is a great episode it is melissa wants ghost kitchens to go away five percent said i was wrong 95 said that i was not wrong oh also before i start reading stuff off there's still sometimes i'll get a glimpse into the stuff that's on our hidden one that we can't actually access and i still see people are like sending replies and i've been able to move some of y'all up into our actual box so if we've never read one of your replies on this show

please email us and let us know i still i got a couple emails last week and i was able to move folks in and they had been commenting for a while oh god so just make sure that you let us know so that we can move you over someone said not wrong this was great for struggling business in peak covid times but now they need to stop yeah mott didn't know what this was until i told him about it because we were talking about what he asked well because he asked he was like he had just he always asks what we talk about if there was a good calls or anything interesting and i was talking about ghost kitchens and he was like wait i've literally never heard of that and i told him i was like oh melissa almost got got by no i did get no i know but i'm saying like he like you realized

it it wasn't like you fell for it after the food had arrived right it was and that's what i was telling him i was like here's the thing like a ghost kitchen when you have no idea that that's what's happening is totally fine the issue is when it arrives and you go something's not right and then i told him the whole thing about like how chucky cheese is and he went that's diabolical he's like that should be illegal and i feel like people love chucky cheese enough where they have that nostalgia feel for chucky cheese pizza and they don't want to be a weirdo and go to a chucky cheese and get a pizza so i think that if they marketed themselves as chucky cheese pizza people would love it also chucky stop lying you're not pizza is not your forte your forte is games like

this idea that like well we need to help support chucky cheese first of all no we don't second of all the well they make so much more like it's about a going in the experience of that that i just think that like they did it during the pandemic because people couldn't go and experience and most of them shut down but like i think if people you said this is chucky cheese pizza during the pandemic where people are locked away and they want a touch of nostalgia they would want to order it well and also even with things like apple bees and chili they go bitches will go to the strip mall to get that but if you don't tell them what it is they're gonna order the wrong thing and that's what you said where you were like if i would have known i would have ordered

something else yep and that's the part that's a real issue people putting up um chili's has like a three course meal for like like i think it's ten dollars you can get a burger fries and a dessert for like ten dollars okay if i knew that was chili's then i would know what to order exactly i would get southwest rolls like nobody else has that and cause then they call it something else yeah that's the part that's just not like fair it's like if you're marketing at olive garden and you're like oh what should you get at olive garden you're like oh cool a caesar salad and it's like no i could have gotten endless pasta and bread bowl like breadsticks like i would have changed my order i have nothing against you mr olive in your garden but if you don't tell me

that this is coming from your garden i'm going to order the wrong fucking thing like one time i went the only time i've been to olive garden i ordered minestrone soup and i was like this tastes like weed but i was with um the people i couldn't say that to because i couldn't let them know i knew what we tasted like and i was like just ate it in silence going i hope i don't get high this is so fucking weird you like taste it yeah it's a little herbal it's a little earthy earthy some sort of came my finger on it it's a little uh like sagey but the smell sage little patchouli A little, a little ember, a little burning. until August 31st.

Someone said, but Orbital here in NYC does come in clutch when I work late, but it's not like what Denny's does. I prefaced that when I gave my statement. I'm guessing Orbital is its own restaurant, right? Is it? I don't know. You tell me. But if you're saying it's not like Denny's and I would think, you know, it's its own restaurant that's using somebody else's kitchen i said that's what i'm talking about i'm talking about when people lie and say that there's somebody else i have no idea what this is i can't find it orbital kitchens food delivery what is this i don't know what this is you know i'm happy for you or i'm sad for like i have no idea what it looks like they just develop recipes and

yeah i don't know what that means oh they they have actual restaurants on here that's not what i'm talking about so ghost kitchens it's not like a separate thing from um uh food delivery like it's not an issue with food delivery services it's just when you say that you're something else that you're not on the food delivery service but they also will simultaneously have that denny's on food like yes for that so like but just push that up higher right people have established brands and they don't want to use them and i don't understand why like the idea that i'm like you worked so hard for this stand by it like it's so odd like to trick you in it reminds me of your musical thing of like you're making a musical you clearly like

musicals tell us it's a musical like if you like this thing and you're proud of it like stop trying to like bamboozle and hoodwink and trick us into these things it's not very ted talky someone else said i truly never understood the purpose for a ghost kitchen unless you're a small business operating out of another restaurant why not just sell food from your restaurant on doordash they do that's the thing is they do both yep and that'll be like confusing denny's will be will just sell like their wings and burgers under one thing mine megan wants to know what the fuck is up with dentists four percent said megan is wrong 96 said i am not wrong finding any kind of professional is impossible recently and i'm very confused about it like how did our parents find

actual good reputable doctors and dentists to take their kids to i think about that all the time granted i lived in a small town so my dentist wasn't even in my town there were no dentists in my town there are no doctors in my town like you gotta you go to the next town over and um it was a husband and wife on one half it was his business and then the other half it was hers she did dentistry he did orthodontistry but he also did some dentistry too um and then they got divorced and the real estate was so good that they just um they put up a they like split the building even more in half and then created two separate entrances and then you know they had to pick people to pick who whose side you were taking in the divorce who are you keeping with

and i kept with her and like she was like lovely and wonderful and i'm like what the fuck happened to that kind of establishment and also don't know if it's where i grew up versus la because like i call me classes call me elitist i am fundamentally against getting a shot of novocaine in a strip mall next to like a i'll say because it's la everything's a donut shop next to like a winchels with parking that only has three spots right there that are always filled with people who like i don't i'm next to a busy road like i don't that to me is stressful that's just i'm just too close to the outside world i don't want i don't want to get a piercing like that i don't want to get a shot like that like i need to be in a building i need to be at least two floors up i needed to

smell like hand sanitizer constantly like i don't need there to be like a ring like oh the door opens it goes ring ring like a little jingle i don't want to hear the noises from the street like no and i just don't know if that exists here also here's my hot take on dennis office as well and i know this isn't the time for this but it's always i happen to have having doors on dennis office like when you're in the exam room melissa what happened to them well i don't want to hear a drill going into someone's fucking tooth that's crazy yes it's just crazy i don't want to hear the flush of the bathroom down the hallway no and i don't need somebody passing by and saying my mouth wide open with drool coming down i don't need you to see your colleague and go oh hold on

let me pop in and then i'm there and then y'all have a conversation behind me mouth separated and then you're referencing me i'm not supposed to respond but i'm like trying also don't talk to me don't talk to me stop talking to me and then stop getting annoyed with me when i respond you started this quite literally right and they go what was that again i go why we both know this is your literal your whole fucking day you know i can't fucking respond it's just i i don't know and like i respect the profession and i know it was almost yours but i just i feel like we have some serious fucking issues that do feel specific to this level of of patient care that isn't happening in doctor's offices which i have my own shit with doctor's offices but this is just

how am i supposed to fix this what am i supposed to fucking do and i really need to go someone else said my dentist knew my mom paid out of pocket for our dental and tried to fill cavities on my wisdom teeth what when i asked if my wisdom teeth need to be removed he literally sighed and rolled his eyes before he told me that yes they needed to be removed it completely ruined my trust and i refused to go back i hate dentists so he's filling cavities in something that he knew he was just going to remove yep that's also because if you can get a cavity i'm assuming they were broken through the skin at that point like they were exposed that you wouldn't have you didn't have a cavity or decaying

inside your gum because they can't they're not going to fill that they're just going to remove that so you've already popped through which means like you've got you've 30 minutes you've 30 minutes before they need to remove it anyway they would have you schedule the next appointment to take them out if you needed them out yeah I my friend used to say Catherine was like modern dentistry is all a scam and this is when I was loving dentists and I was like no what are you talking about because I had never been to a bad dentist up to then and I was like you're wrong and then I went to a bad dentist and I was like okay I get it now I get it now it does feel like a complete and total scam and I repeat Mott's has just been existing with no tooth where he's

supposed to get an implant for over a couple years because with COVID they're like oh you know and it's just he can't even get an appointment he goes I need you to put something back there like you're gonna fuck up the rest of my teeth yeah someone else said the same thing is happening to dental and medical care in canada so frustrating and dangerous girl don't even get me started with dentists working at the ada i just wonder how 99 of them got their licenses in the first place you work at the ada well that's a job that's a job like that's a job oh try hitting a katherine mueller on here she's a dentist and reviews active where she may know someone you can trust in la or at least maybe point you in the right direction.

Am I wrong for moving out on my roommate without notice? 27% said the writer is wrong. 73% said the writer is not wrong.

Yeah, I do wonder if like a lot of people have a need of ingrained politeness before everything else. You know what I mean? even though i i'm a firm believer and like people can everyone starts off everyone you don't have to earn my kindness you can lose my kindness you can lose my kindness and my respect yeah and so i think it's that as a situation where it's like yeah for anyone else totally but no not for you no like everything else up into fucking my ex that was that was so fucking crazy someone said writer is not wrong in fact writer are you okay can we get an update please i am both nosy and i care about your well-being agree somebody else said protect your mental well-being

that is a shitty ass roommate and cunt dear writer give me her first and last name and her birthday and i can hex her if you want because fuck this bitch i know exactly who this is now all right okay then writer number two are they wrong for reporting a co-worker for lying about being quote-unquote sick after they've slacked at work 36 said writer is wrong 64 said writer is not wrong i did good god i did rewrite this from how you sent it because it was you also didn't finish typing the sentence that i went on via uh uh itunes to see what you it said but it was like you know what i fucking meant stop let's move on and i was like i don't even exist i know i mean

it doesn't on my ipod nano in the context of in the context of which we came before exactly and that's what i've always said um but uh it was like is she wrong for reporting a co-worker for taking advantage of her and immediately i went what is this one about i forgot and i was like oh i need to reword this because like that is exactly what had happened but without the context of that i was so afraid everyone's gonna be like trust actually does it work of course what she said no that's what i'm saying that is what she said but like it was the con it was the context all of which what came before and we didn't have that in the voting so i want to make that exactly okay uh i'm a bit gray on this in this situation i think it's okay because it directly

affects the writer i personally would be petty and do it informally like in the lunchroom or mention it but i'm also a coward hence i probably would be too scared to officially report it not wrong but i agree with megan if you would do the same thing then you got to be prepared for the co-worker to get you back i'm not bold enough to do this but i fully understand the frustration reporting is definitely the right thing to do and i hope that doesn't result in more chaos for the writer writer should distance herself from the co-worker so she isn't associated with them anymore and stop answering on her days off it affected her because she answered the phone and agreed to hop on the call in place of the call in place of her on the call if the co-workers

antics affect her in other ways then she wouldn't be wrong to flag that but most people tell a little lie to get out of work sometimes well the writer had already distanced herself it was the fact that now at work that she's having to pick up slack not just on this call but in other areas of work she's having to pick up the slack i think yeah i think that you gotta sever the whole tie otherwise you are attacked like if you if you also regularly start picking up the slack for someone then they just account for that but she's picking up the slack because it affects her work too so you need to start reporting every time yeah something's happening you got to start reporting it well because you can't just like distance yourself at work no no because at a

certain point like you won't be able to do two people's jobs and then it will fall on both of you because you've also been able to do it prior so like i'm always a big and i tell people this all the time with regular jobs i'm like at the first sign of something being like i can't do this this is like i'm like don't set the precedent that you can do that because the the big thing is once you get a certain a certain level of um hierarchy in the workforce those people don't work they delegate work to other people and if you take on all of this stuff yourself it does not set you up for people going oh we should get someone else that will help them do that it's like no no they can handle it and you can't uh this is the thing that really annoys me when

my co-workers do it especially calling in hungover so i don't think the writer's wrong and if you're going to use your sick time for not being sick at least be smart enough to not get caught true fully understand the other side though you can't really call out someone if you would do the same thing yes they are only wrong if their work isn't negatively affected by the co-worker's absence yep i agree with all of all of those that i don't think it was a bad move and i think this person's probably like very like good at their job but on top of it so i don't think it would bite them in the ass all right and that's why they did it and i didn't Hear that? It's your money calling.

We're on the week, Erica Lee. this is a person that made that post about haitians eating cats and it spread 96 said that and i should say it spread and it's a lie uh 96 said that lee is wrong four percent said lee is

not wrong did you see jd vance in the debate yeah wait wait wait wait i thought you weren't going to to be fact checking it makes me want to do that um the audio this is your man this is your man okay someone said boomers having access to facebook has to be one of the worst sides of social media her posts had ill intent behind it no matter what she tries to say and for her to try and backtrack and include that she's queer as if that makes her actions any less awful i would like to state that i'm older than this woman and we'll just leave it there yeah she's not a boomer she is a millennial bitch the worst that's all okay and my nomination was people magazine 98 said people is wrong two percent said people is not wrong i don't know if anyone wrote in for this one oh

yeah i think the lack of compassion that the general population has is truly astounding i can't imagine going through what she has and having to deal with it publicly then for them not even to have consideration about how this can reflect on her is even worse struggling in the public eye is hard enough but trying to heal and get back to where you were can be back to where you were can be impossible because of shit like this i agree with this i mean i have a whole i have a beyond just like people have a really hard time with how we on like social media even like people our age like who claim to be like so pro mental health and like advocacy and all of that like how we talk about people who are like struggling and like visibly struggling that like

we like can be like fuck the government fuck capitalism like all the time but then also simultaneously like make fun of people and like memefy like i have a huge fucking issue with people like just calling random people crackheads like and like filming like uh-huh like i'm such a crackhead like look at this crack like it's just like what the fuck is this and then like you know simultaneously be like when they are coming out about like you know getting sober or whatever that is afterwards being like oh i feel you like so proud of you that's amazing i was like but you were also like treating that as that was actively happening if that even was it is like that speculation that that's like a really bad thing and like looks so bad on that like it's

just there's no compassion coming from that at all and i think that's like why people was able to get away with it for so long but this was one that people were like no this is like this is i'm glad to see that like people are like this is too fucking far right um but i hope it translates to like everyday people too like not just large platforms when they say stupid shit or platform something irresponsibly agree okay the end the end make sure you join us on thursday for don't blame me wednesdays if you're on our you want something if you're on our patreon there might be random things that popped up like this past week i posted the recipe that's part of our free patreon tier so join that um friday we'll have fisting friday where we talk

we catch up we have a good ass time monday we're gonna be doing but am i wrong i kind of want to do a couple halloween movies maybe but am i watching yes i know you've never seen hocus pocus no i did see it last year i'll see it again though okay i loved it you and i haven't seen that i was supposed to see but love of my life um was did not plan accordingly for how long golfing takes he loves to just be super ambitious and we missed the movie because he was late coming home um practical magic yeah i feel like that's my vibe and my aesthetic i saw billy on the street where somebody well billy asked this person on the street um what was what he was doing he was on the street and running um and he asked somebody what their favorite sandy bullock movie was and

she was like who is sandy bullock and he was like you don't know who sandra bullock is and she's like well yeah i know who sandra bullock is but is she your friend and then she then she goes my favorite movie is practical magic and then he just yells it's like practical magic why would you pick that you know she's like billy you're supposed to be for the girlies too and seems like you're being a little hateful here's the thing though if there's not a man to hate in the frame he goes i still have to hate i'm on i'm on camera but anyway maybe some of my washings coming up if you're a part of our patreon put it in i'll start it i'll start a thread give gifts some of your thoughts what we want what you want us to watch i do not like scary movies so it has to be

a fun halloween movie and even if you think it's like not really scary we don't want to see it no we are scared like hocus pocus scared me also hocus pocus i jumped yeah casper a little scary with hillary duff no no no the one before that oh i don't know that one so good maybe that's what we do if you haven't seen that but have you seen the hillary duff one no and i don't want to see it casper and wendy i want to see casper the one that has christina ritchie in it oh yeah so christina ritchie is that she's also in like the other adam's family whatever for me if a movie starred christina ritchie as a kid i've only seen the remake because she plays the child in so much shit i've never seen her as the child i've only seen

remakes with other people playing the child christina ritchie used to play so you haven't seen that adam's family either nope it's another great one we should watch because i feel like that you'll relate so much to because they didn't water her character down like they have in the remakes i yeah i've only seen like the um maybe i have seen like a little bit of it but i haven't i haven't seen like the original movie okay well i mean even that is still a remake because adam's family was a tv show before that in black and white i definitely haven't seen that i don't watch period pieces like that except for pride and prejudice which i watch if it's a period piece starring kira knightley no when i say like no i mean black and white i mean this came out in the

50s that's what i'm saying like i will watch kira knightley play someone who has never been to a dentist before in the renaissance era i will not watch a movie that is filmed in black and white shot on black and white because they did not color didn't exist yet i'm not doing that the oldest movie i will watch is um the wizard of oz and that's because they discovered color film you walk through that black and white sepia and to color okay well the end all right be in our patreon and you can contribute we will see you next tuesday i was like i don't know what we're supposed to say yep we will
