Welcome to guys, a podcast about guys. I am your host. Brian, nicest boy on this call for sure. My co-host here, who wouldn't know anything about what we're talking about. Chris James. Hi, Chris. Hey, thanks so much for having me. I just want to say I really do appreciate you having me on the podcast.

And Brian, indeed, I appreciate you having me as a co-host. And I appreciate our manners isn't just saying nice things to somebody. Yeah, it's not cafe gratitude. I know. And I appreciate. Well, I was just about to say. I appreciate Libby coming on our guest. But, okay, no, I do.

I appreciate Libby coming on as our guest. And I appreciate the listeners as well, more than anything. Yeah. Okay. You should start every episode like this to say something you're grateful for. Well, I've actually tried. Literally the worst thing in the world. When I have to do that on Thanksgiving, it's the worst thing in the world.

I hate it. Make you want to die. Yeah. We had a really weird tradition in our house where, because there's no Thanksgiving in the UK, but on New Year's Eve, we would go around and say a good thing. a bad thing that happened that year and then I was like, why are we saying the bad thing? Let's just not say the bad thing, you know, especially when I got to the point where it's like, well, Nana died. So I guess that's the bad thing. Yeah, I guess that's the is the, is the,

is the indication we shouldn't be doing it. Well, we all know. Hey, Brian, what are you thankful for? I guess Katie and Gwen, I don't fucking know. You know what I mean? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not grateful for anything. Yes, I was just thinking, Libby, if like, the good thing isn't as bad as the isn't as good as the bad thing is bad too it's just like hey you know mom died but we i got a new pair of pants that fits fantastic right right yeah yeah yeah because i they they do this thing i think it's even there's it might only be east it might only be thanksgiving but it might be east so they have this tree that has like little green pieces of paper oh that you fold in half and you write down something you're grateful for and you stick it on the tree.

So it's like, I think it's a spring renewal thing or something. I don't know. It sounds very American, to be honest. I never participate in it. Never. Because I'm just like, again, I don't know what I'm grateful for. You know what I mean? Oh, you know, listen, I'm grateful for the listeners of this podcast.

Yeah, what do you mean you don't know what you're grateful for? You have the easiest job in the world. You go on vacation all the time. I just told you, I just stared at my. ceiling for like 25 minutes. Yeah, I don't know what I'm grateful for other than the fact that I have the easiest life and I get to do this really fun thing all the time. Listen, I'm grateful for my family and oh, we're not actually doing it now. We're not actually doing the grateful thing. No, we're not. I do understand manners. I will say that I was raised with good manners. My dad was like obsessed with manners.

So he was like really like, you know, no elbows on the table. Like, you know, like just at dinner. That one. I did too. It doesn't make any fucking sense. And my parents would be like, no elbows on this table. And I'd be like, why? Who the fuck cares? Took this out, Nana.

Look at this. Elbows on my fucking desk. What are you going to do now? Yeah, it's true. When I first moved out and just feeling like this guy. Ryan's just like, holy shit, let me stick my elbows on the table and call some phone sex lines. Also, ain't. Say ain't.

I'm allowed to say ain't now. I weren't allowed to say ain't growing up. And I think that was sort of a weird etiquette thing because of my parents. my parents being like you are not a bunch of rednecks. You know, they sit you down and they're like, you're not a bunch of rednecks. Yeah, we're not, we're not a redneck family. We drive a, what was it? Chrysler Sebring.

A Chrysler Sebring and people who drive Chrysler Sebrings don't say the word ain't. Thank you very much. We're not rednecks. We just have an above ground pool that all the neighborhood teenagers go in and beat the crap out of each other and call Marco Polo. You know what I mean? Like, but they would, they would, they had these rules, these etiquette rules that I was supposed to fall. There weren't like spoons and forks that like wasn't a rule. You guys were eating with hands mostly.

No, no, no, I'm saying. See, now there weren't spoon and fork rules. Sure. You know what I mean? Like, I know some people have spoon and fork rules and stuff like we didn't do that. It wasn't that hardcore in my household either. It wasn't like, you know, you have to have that. It was more just like say thank you, say please.

know, like it was just, he was like, he was big on manners and being like respectful and stuff like that. And which I honestly kind of appreciated. He wasn't so hard with it that it like made life not fun. But it made it so I wasn't just like a rude person growing up. You know, like I understood basic etiquette and stuff like that. Yeah. It's good to teach your child not to be an asshole, I think. And, you know, many different approaches to that. I guess the reason I'm like sort of down on these guys is because I've been prepping the episode and noticed that like a lot. lot of them use it as a way to shit talk people in their life that I don't think they actually like, but they still have to hang around with. Oh, that's so good. Oh, I love that. Yeah. Yeah. Where it's like, like, like if Port O'Shaun was still in my life and I was still hanging out with him, and I had to just be like,

uh, he'd come over to the house and when he left, it's like you find every wrong thing he did while I thought you were going to say watching porn is bad manners, which, you know, it could be depending on the situation. It's not if you do it in the privacy of, you know, on your own or whatever. Now, that's a really interesting philosophical question. Is it possible to have manners when you're by yourself? Hmm. No. I don't think it is.

Sorry, no, you're right. That's actually a really boring question. We actually don't do that kind of thoughtful stuff on this podcast. Libby, we like gave Libby such a death stare. like what are you trying to make shut the fuck up why are you trying to make us think about stuff and now I've had bad manners by getting

this so wrong yeah these are just quick hit a lot of these are just the question I didn't provide any of the answers for these okay I want to read you this one because this is a really good example of that it goes to R slash etiquette okay

and he asks communicating with the guy who always arrives late to the cookout so so a couple times the year I have a cookout. The last two or three times a guy I invited has arrived right when we were wrapping up and it was awkward. Like the cookout started at six and he rolled in at nine. Everyone had gone home. We put away all the food and we're moving the folding chairs off to deck. Okay, that is a little egregious. It's like everyone's back and he shows up like,

all right, what are we eating fellas? Like that is my my brother, I just had this because I had a mother's day, you know, get together. And I put all the mothers came over. So it was like my mom and then Ariel and my brother's wife and my stepmom and my brother showed up. He has a family. So it's a little excuse. But he showed up really, really like an hour and 15 minutes late. And this thing was always supposed to be about an hour and a half long. Oh, no.

Yeah. You can't do that. And so he kind of like it forced us to stretch it out and do like more stuff and stay around for longer. Yeah. Yeah. It really kind of dragged it out a little bit. I was, my dad again, he was like always on time, only late once in my entire life ever. And I thought he had died obviously because when you're on time.

My brother and I took it the opposite. I was like, okay, that's how I'm going to be. I'm going to be like really punctual. And my brother's like he rebelled against it. I see. And it is kind of, I mean, it's annoying. And I can't really talk to him about it. Like there's no, you know, there's no like.

That's the thing though. This question here, this guy is like, is it. to shoot him a message to the effect of we'll be starting around six and aren't going to go super late. I should mention he's an acquaintance as opposed to a close friend. But other than that, the above issue, I'm happy to have him on a guest list. Well, the fucking solution to the problem is say, hey, man, don't come late. Well, don't invite him. He's just an acquaintance.

Don't invite him. If I have a party and someone shows up right when I am putting the food away, I'm absolutely not inviting him to the next one. Unless they're like, hey, listen, man, I'm really, this will not happen again. Here's my explanation for it or whatever. But if he just rolls in, like, hey, what's happening guys and something? And then stays? Like, if you do the grandpa Simpson where you come in and you see that the food is being put away, you're like, holy shit.

Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I will leave and I'll see you next time. That's what I would do. Maybe I can help you pack up some of the stuff and we can just catch up quickly and then I'll just take off, you know? Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

Again, three hours late is egregious. and you should never be three hours late to anything ever. Because this is the fight I'm in with my wife all the time, is that she is not punctual. Yes. Okay. Brian, this is,

I'm so happy we're talking about this because I am so anxious about being late. I hate being late. Me too. I'm psychotic about it. We're all the same that way. Okay, whereas I think Lewis is sort of the opposite. And he like,

especially, you know, with social stuff that really doesn't want to show up on time. Because, you know, especially when you're younger, but that is not cool to show up on time. Yeah, you got to sit there.

You might have to be alone with somebody. Yeah, yeah. You don't want to be first. Yeah, you don't want to be first at a big party, no doubt. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. No, it's a difficult, like, thing to navigate. But for me, like, especially if I'm going to meet people for dinner or, you know, like, for lunch.

And now I'm just naming different meals. Let's say breakfast. Mm-hmm. brunch. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to meet people. And I think it's especially bad if they have kids, like in your situation, Chris, like, if I was going to meet someone with a kid, I know how important, like, nap schedule is or whatever,

and I would never want to fuck that up. So, yeah. Yeah, I appreciate that. I really do appreciate that. I would invite you. Yeah, yeah. She's just, my wife's kind of like, you know, it takes me, the amount of time it takes me to get ready is the amount of time it takes me to get ready. Well, that's not Nixon.

Listen, I love Katie and a defender on almost every point that you ever bring up. But that's not an excuse because you know how long it takes you to get ready and then you have to get there at the time. So it's like different. If you don't have the time to get ready, then that's one thing. But it's like, you just have to start earlier, Katie. And then it's fantastic. This is the most fantastic thing about it. If you say, hey, like I'll be pacing around the house.

Oh, yeah. I know how you like to deal with the situation like that. I'll be going insane, but silently. Yeah. And then I might say, hey, we're supposed to be there in like five minutes. And it's going to take 20 minutes to get there. And she's like, don't rush me. Oh, man.

And it's mad. And it's mad. I'm having, this is really, this happens in my host. Listen, Ariel listens to the podcast. So does Katie. I don't want to get into it too much. But there has definitely been times where it's just like, hey, we really, we really do got to go. We really like the movie starts at this time.

And, you know, we have to get there or like, you know, and then she is similar. She's not that bad. I will say, like, she's generally pretty good with getting ready in time. I support the women, obviously. I support the women of the podcast, and I support women who listen to what's all this then, you know. Yeah, I'm a few listeners. So basically, you know, I can't say it. And you're the punctual one too.

So it shows both ways, obviously. In fact, it goes both ways. It goes both ways with that situation. A lot of times, and sometimes I'll admit, sometimes maybe I get myself in a bit of a tizzy trying to get my hair just right and all of that stuff. so it can't happen. So the answer to this ended up being from every single person on R slash etiquette, hey,

why don't you put an end time for the party? And then the guy can't show up at nine. You know what I mean? Oh, it ends at nine. I can't show up. Now, I understand why you don't want to put an end time at the party, right?

What if it's really popping off? What if things are going on? What if things are like, yeah. It's not the law. You don't have to shut it. If you put on the invitation, it ends at nine.

It's like everyone's going to be like, I guess I got to go now. But maybe some of them will, but maybe some of them will, Libby, right? Some of them will be like, I don't want to be rude.

So it's like, now you got a party that's fucking poppin. You know, fucking people are going crazy. Who knows if it's one of Brian's parties? Maybe people are heading upstairs to the bedrooms or whatever. And I'm leaving.

And then everybody. But those were not my parties. Huge far apart to put an end time on the invitation to an orgy. Those were not my parties or orgies. Somebody else's parties. Can you imagine? Imagine you're about to go. You're about to fucking bust and then they're like, oh, shit.

Looking at your watch. Looking at the watch, like, I guess we're going to have to come back. Yeah, well, I guess we've got to hit the road. Sorry about that. There's never been an orgy in one of my apartments. I'll say that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There you go.

Okay. You can't. And then Libby and I most, I don't want to speak for Libby, but on the other hand, there's never been an orgy in one of our homes. And we've also never been to an orgy at someone else's home either. No. I'm happy to say that I've never been even close to an orgy. Me neither.

Here's another one of these people that is just mad at somebody and had to go post. And I think it's held on to this for a long. This is off of Quora. What's the most disrespectful thing a house guest has ever said to you? Hmm. When my son was about 12, he had a neighbor friend come over and spend the night. Next morning, I started cooking breakfast for the boys. this feels like something this person's held on to for decades, by the way.

Not I, the next morning I started cooking breakfast for the boys. I was frying some bacon, making toast, and started to scramble some eggs. The boy sits down at the table and announces he doesn't really like scrambled eggs. Oh, what the fuck? Get them. You get them, fellas. This person is, this is a child, to be clear. This is something a child said.

Yeah. A neighbor boy. That's so awesome. And it's so funny to still be mad about it. It's incredible. And it goes, the boy says, he goes, okay, no big deal. So ask him how he wanted his eggs. I don't really want eggs.

What else you got? Then starts prowling through the fridge. He pulls out a T-bone steak from the freezer. No, come on. Can I have this steak? I couldn't believe the audacity of this kid. I hoped and prayed my son didn't act like that on his sleepovers. It wasn't exactly disrespectful because he was.

He was just being a kid, a kid who haven't been properly socialized. I told him, we're having eggs. And if he didn't like eggs, he could go home and he ate the eggs. Okay. Well, he went for it. He tried. He's like, hey, listen, there's a fucking sick. I don't get to eat steak very much.

Let's see if I can get myself a steak. But then when you said no, then he accepted it and ate the eggs. It's a little offside to go. But it also depends on the relationship because close friends and stuff, I would definitely do that when I was growing up. Do you know what I mean? Like my really good friends, it would be like, totally fine and they would do it at my house

as well where they're like oh what else you got you know let's see what else you got and like yeah that's not that crazy the replies to this killed me this person goes as I was reading this I was reminded of my daughter's friend who came over for dinner I'd made a broccoli and cheddar soup and she started eating it she was mumbling to my kiddo I asked that there was something wrong and

she said well at my house we don't make this soup like you did we mash our potatoes and put extra veggies in it and it's way better that way Yikes. Ooh. That hurts. Kids are so cruel, aren't they? Kids aren't really so mean.

They don't get it. That must have hurt that person so much. Well, my mommy browns the butter, so. Shut up. And it clearly did hurt them a lot. They're online posting about it. Who knows how long way. That's the funniest thing about this,

the T-Bone State guys, like getting to the end of the paragraph where you're like, and obviously it's not their fault because it's a kid and then be like, all right, I'm going to send it anyway. Like, you typed it out, you did the therapy,

for yourself, you know, you expressed it, and now you can just delete it. No one has to know that you're still mad at a 12-year-old who wanted a T-bones steak from your freezer. Yeah. She goes, I told her the food's so much better at her house, and you should probably go home to eat. I said that to a child.

Yeah, don't say that, yeah. You don't have to get into, like, a battle of barbs with a child. Right. You can just ignore what a child says something mean to you like that. You don't have to, like, get defensive and start fighting with them. I would say you're the rude one, And it's supposed to be better. Yeah, you're just supposed to take that like, listen, I think everybody's, you know,

I probably will experience that. People experience that kind of thing where it's like, yeah, kids have something really mean to them that they don't realize is mean and it hurts your feelings. But you cannot retaliate with an insult to the child. Can I tell you something really rude that a child said to my mom once? Yes. So my mom, I think a beautiful lady. She was on the train once and there was this like really posh family sitting opposite them.

You know, like the kid looked like he was called like, you know, Henry or something. Like, really like, like, hello. Yeah, some lovely. And they were doing sort of lovely little activities together. And then the little boy looks at my mom in this sort of, he stares at her for a while in this accusatory way. And then she goes, he goes, you're not a lady. You're a man. Posh mother was so horrified.

This kid had been. She was like, okay. Yeah. No, I'm not. Okay. Yeah, really kids will hurt your feelings really, really badly. But yeah, I think the key is you just, at that point, you cannot, you can't show. It's like being at a Comedy Central roast.

You know, you can't show anybody that you're really hurt by it, really. You know, you just got to kind of take it in stride a little bit. But yeah, she goes, I told her the food's so much better at her house. She'd probably go home and eat the next time she plans on coming over for dinner, make sure she brings her own food. I was so pissed off about that one. that's yeah and then this guy goes i raised my glass to you after the brat went home i would have told her my kid i would have told my kid i didn't like his little friend and he wasn't welcome back

the morning after my daughter's pajama party i made pancakes and had a brattonella announced she only put mrs butterworth syrup on hers i let her know we only use log cabin on ours because there was not a drop of butter in miss butterworth and i had a motto for anything i cook that said eat it or don't. Holy shit, man. You sure. You sure showed that six-year-old kid who was boss. That is, this is really, these are some of the saddest posts that I see.

I mean, because these are like, yeah, these are things you just got to tell as a funny anecdote in the way that Libby told, you know, like, that's the way that it has to be told in a way, like, can you believe this? Like, this is really funny. You cannot be actually insulted. They don't understand that they're insulting you, children. They don't get it. They're just saying what's on their mind.

You're mad about Mrs. Butterworth syrup? Yeah. Well, there's no butter in it. They put the butter in Longcape. No, I understand. I understand. You're a young child and you don't get it because you see fucking Butterworth in the titles.

You're like, oh, it must have butter in it. Well, guess what? Dip shit. It doesn't have a fucking lick of butter in there. You haven't learned to read the ingredients list yet. That's okay. Yeah, you can you just, you look at Mrs. Butter's worth

and you assume there's butter in there. Guess what? When you assume you make an ass out of you and me, my lady. And listen, if you come over to my house next time, you can bring Miss Butterworth. I'm not putting it on the pancakes for you. Oh, yeah. Well, keep it away. Not in my fucking house.

No, it's not happening. We actually use syrup that has real butter in it around here. It's so funny to talk to a Canadian about long cabin at Miss Butterworth. I know. Humiliating. For some reason, like talking to Chris about that is just such a funny, like. Because you think we're like, we got our syrup on. have you do have maple syrup on tap in every home right we have maple syrup you know you have

yeah they have an opinion i don't even because my canadian dad who isn't canadian all i heard about was syrup with that guy yeah i think that that's a misconception and probably someone who's an american who wants to be a canadian would think and would talk about a lot but in reality it's a huge part of our lives and we do i do i'll have syrup that's just like syrup from the store cabin you have a right have log cabin? No, I've never had that. Mrs. Butter's worth.

You know there's no butter in that. Yeah, well, I would never have that. I would never have a butter free. You know, and she's not even a real person, Mrs. Butter'sworth. Yeah, she's a corporate fucking entity. She's like, if you. I'm looking at the bottle, though, and she's a comely lass, I will say.

But yeah, yeah, yeah, like my dad always talked about syrup. Like, like, I, he would. Sorry. His dad is a fascinating. He was obsessed with IKEA. Brian told me on a bonus episode recently that his dad was obsessed with IKEA. And if you even talked about shelves, then he would be like, oh, my God,

IKEA is like, you got to come with me to IKEA. And then I said to, I've been telling people this. Like, even I told my mom this. Like, I was like,

and then I said, oh, so all of his furniture is from IKEA. And Brian was like, no. Yeah. So he didn't even buy IKEA. He just really respected it.

He loved to go there and stuff. Yeah. Oh, my sister went over there. for Mother's Day to say hi to my stepmom or whatever. And she was telling me, oh, they got this new thing they're really excited about. And I'm like, what? She's like, it's a TV on a stick.

And I was like, I don't even know what you're saying. That's how my sister described it. Right. What it ended up being is a cart sort of thing that like comes up and then you hook your TV to it so that then you can take it wherever you're going. So now they got to. You can take it downstairs and watch it in the hot tub. You can watch a full, like, you can watch the godfather trilogy in the hot tub.

Sorry, that's not a funny joke. Your mom, your stepmom obviously got seriously. She had to go to the hospital from being in the hot tub too long. I shouldn't be joking. Chris has bad manners. Yeah, I apologize. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I couldn't figure out what my sister was talking about.

She's like on a stick or whatever. And I'm like, okay. Like, what is it? She showed me a picture. And it's like the cheapest thing in the world. but I guess he's like wheeling it out into the backyard. That's kind of badass. Oh, no, it's not.

Just get a TV for outside, dude. Oh, come on. He's not money, he's not broke. He is not, he's not some broke guy. You know what I mean? He can put a TV outside.

And you can get TVs for pretty, TVs aren't that expensive anymore. Yeah. It's true. It's just from growing up in a rainy climate, but I had never encountered the concept of an outside TV until. Yeah. I don't know, maybe even 10 years ago or something.

Yeah, I agree. What is that? Outside is, you're not meant to watch tele outside. The outside is for looking at bird and tree and everything. No, no, no, no, not when I was growing. They, as soon as they made TV small enough to carry around, my dad got one for the hot tub. And they would sit it right on the side of the hot tub and watch whatever TV. Like, if they're outside, they're watching TV.

They're not. Look, I'm listening to. He takes it in the kitchen, too. He also takes it into the kitchen. He rolls the TV. My sister said he rolls the TV into the kitchen while he's cooking and stuff. And I'm like, this fucking TV situation, I'm about to buy him a TV. Look, I have a longstanding fascination with the old British guy's obsession with having a telly in every room.

Because I watch a lot of this show Escape to the Country on my stream. And it's, you know, an old couple looking to move into a house in the country. And for some reason, they're obsessed with having like a lot of tiny tellies in each room. So I get it, you know. Yeah. And I listen to a podcast or have a. YouTube video on or whatever wherever I am. So, you know, I'm not.

Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I like, I like to have noise to drown out what's going on in my head, for sure, you know. I grew up in every, and with a TV in every room that my parents went to. Not in every room. Like, most of us didn't have one on our bedroom. Right. But if my parents were going to go to a room. Yeah. There was going to be a TV in there. Going to go to laundry room and fold some laundry?

We're bringing a TV in there. That's right. Like, he was just, they were just, they love TV. I do. Outside. somewhat because they also camp a lot I've talked about that my parents camp in all the fucking time you got a camping TV now

they did they had an outside camping TV they had an outside camping TV so they'd light the fire and they'd sit out there but they'd also watch TV out their favorite shows like what were they what was what was it like the Big Bang Theory what was he trying to get me no no no like when you were younger I mean when you were growing up yeah shit I don't know like

stuff like the Big Bang theory I see you know what I mean Just like old sitcoms and stuff like that. Yeah, he wouldn't shut up to me about what's it called. Lord or the Game of Thrones, I think he was obsessed with. The Game of Thrones? And apparently he watches. Apparently he also watches the Lord of the Rings movies all the time.

All right. Well, I can't criticize that. I love this. Patty Bowens, public figure on Facebook, posted some etiquette rules that gentlemen should follow. I thought maybe we'd go through these. Libby, you can tap out here. I know. Well, these can help you too.

Okay. Number one. Number one, greet people when entering a room or an office. Okay. Okay. That seems like, I guess it depends. It depends on the room. I don't know.

That seems like more of like a big timer kind of move, right? Hello, I'm here. Man about town. Like, hey, Susie. Hey, Jim. How are you doing? You know, like that. I don't think I'm, that's not really.

my style. Big man on cap. All right, wait, staff. The big tippers here. Oh yeah. That's what I say. That's what Brian does when he comes in a restaurant. He's waving his ones around. Yeah. Number two, greet back when someone greets you. That's kind of a number one. That's very normal, I think. You don't ignore someone when they say hi. Right. Number three, be on time. Okay. Number four. Number four, pull out a chair for your lady. Of course. Now, here we go. Now we're starting to get to the stuff that I, I really like. You need that to have.

And you say, I believe you, like you told me you stand up at the table until it happens. Yeah, I just wait there. Sometimes for the whole meal because no one does it. Well, a lot of the time I find that, yeah, like when you're going on a date, it's like, I don't even know if my date necessarily knows how to pull the chair out themselves. So it's like I'm there to sort of help out in that situation. I do this thing and I don't know if it's passive aggressive or not. I'm not really sure why I'm doing it.

Mm-hmm. But several, several, like decades ago, Katie was like, why are he's running in front of me to go through the door first? What's all that about? You know what I mean? And so now I aggressively open the door for her everywhere we go. Like even we come home with groceries. If I'm carrying, like, if I got a bunch of stuff in my hand, I'm like, oh, no, right, right? Let me open the door for easy.

You can walk right by me. Now, that's polite, I guess. Yeah. But I don't know if I'm doing it It's not coming from a good place I don't know if it's coming from a good place Oh it's rooted in trauma right Because I don't want her to

I don't want to be a rude guy Yeah You know I mean But also it's like We really still open and doors for each other You know what I mean? I find that be you I think that that's a different one

Because I think that Yeah like it depends It's not always the guy doesn't have to open the door For a lady or whatever But opening a door for someone It's just a nice thing to do She's literally You never open the door for me, Chris.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. What I would do is open it real quick. Oh, that must be hard. What I would do is I'd open it real quick and run in and let it shut on her. Yeah, see, that's rude. That's crazy. That's crazy and rude. I used to do a real funny gag when I was younger that like, you know, like a 7-Eleven or whatever

that has like the automatic doors that I would say like, oh, my lady and then I'd step with my foot, you know, to open it up and have it open up. It was just kind of like a little funny kind of gag that was rooted in. good manners. That's a number really funny. Thank you. Thank you. It really, it got, you listen, it's, you think, oh, that's not that funny, but what about the 75th time that I've done it? Number five, I think is where this got me starting to be like, oh, okay. Number five, when reaching your seat in theater or cinema, don't turn your back on people. What?

So like they mean like walk in crotch first when you're like going to your seat in a theater setting? Which by the way, I'm back for. I'm right. I'm back. I'm turning my back to people. I think it's way, yeah, I think it's way less uncomfortable. Like, you live in when you're walking in. When you're walking into an aisle, like if you're at a sports game or like a movie theater and you're in the middle and there's a bunch of people there, you have to walk past them as they're sitting down. So they're saying that you don't turn your back. They're saying present penis or crotch. Yes, crotch first, not bum first. That is. Yeah. I mean, I think you're stuck between a rock and a hard

place on that one, to be honest. So there's no real good option there, which would make me think, I don't really think there's an etiquette case for either of them unless your butt stinks. If your butt stinks, then I get it. Well, you don't know. Thanks, Brian. Some people's butt. Some people's butt stinks. But I would say that the thing about turning your back to them is it's just less awkward

because you're not like facing them or whatever. Then you can just. You're not looking down at them as you shuffle past with your penis. Exactly. And most people's butts don't smell bad. Like, listen, if you're walking in and you're doing butt first and you're, fart, that's like as rude as you could ever possible. Yeah, if you fart in someone's face at the movie theaters, that's definitely rude.

But yeah, I guess, and also if your butt stinks, it's like, that's a bigger issue. When you sit down, that's going to be a problem. Like, it's just going to be a problem. Your butt has got to smell reasonable. I cracked what. It doesn't matter if you're, like, walking in a movie theater or whatever. I cracked one at Mortal Kombat 2 the other night. And Katie was like, Brian.

You cracked a fart in a movie? I thought it was mortal combat, dude. So what? It doesn't matter. It's so loud. No, it doesn't matter. That's not the issue. It's the sound.

It's the smell. You're in a confined. It's the gas. And by the way, what did you think? What did you think? What did you think? What did you think?

I mean, they did the moves. Very, very, very stupid, but I did enjoy it. I said, did they do the moves? Yes, they did the moves. Yeah. You know, some pretty cool kills.

There was some cool kills. Yeah, who they didn't have it was funny. And Brian did his special move, of course, which was fast. It was a quick fart. It was so short too. And then, but yeah, Katie, and then she brought it up after the movie, too. I'm like, I didn't think anybody hear it.

She's like, everybody heard that motherfucker. And it's not even about hearing. It's opening doors for another 10 years, Brian, sorry. It's hearing it is the prop. Because if somebody smells something, whatever, they ain't going to know it's me. Yeah, but it's not about them knowing that it's you. The foundation of good manners is getting away with it. Yeah, like, it's about making something.

Like, can you imagine you're in a movie and then somebody does a disgusting fart and you're eating your popcorn and stuff? and now you're smelling a disgusting fart. That's the rude part about it. The next, here's one, here's one, your bottom button should be unbuttoned. I don't know what that means. Is that on a suit or do they mean that on like a suit?

Yeah, I guess, yeah. Seven, don't be loud and don't stare at others. Okay. You shouldn't stare at people. That's one that my toddler struggles with, I will say. He's loud and he stares at people all the time. Like, we'll just be sitting at a restaurant or whatever and he'll just stare at a lady like in the seat beside us.

Now, here's a quick run here, right? 10, don't use your phone during meetings, outings, or dinners. 11. Don't go out if you plan to glue your hands to your phone. So this person is not huge. Good luck to the young people. Men, respect women, which is, that's what I do. I mean, that's my baseline.

That's my number one thing. That's my baseline. And I sort of all of the other ones kind of, like, they tend to go off of that for me. But this woman, I think, has gone on a lot of dates with guys that are on their phone. number 13. When on a date with your partner, use your phone only when you really need it. That's three phone related. Yeah. But the phone is the big thing. I mean, I'm guilty of it. It's the big thing. It's the big thing that it does. It is the most rude thing that I do. You know, people will be there and I'll be

on my phone or whatever. So it's unconscious because you don't, I don't realize I'm doing it. I don't realize I'm picking it up, you know. So it's hard, it's hard to kind of stop yourself doing something you don't realize you're doing. Um, everyone should be nice to me about it. I think the most important one is number 15. Don't discuss age, honor, affairs, religion, wealth. Don't discuss honor. Oh, it sounds like somebody's discussing honor on their honor dates a lot. And it feels a little bit targeted here.

Yeah, that's right. Libby, do not discuss honor on your ticket. Someone has been going on a lot of dates with Shinobi. He's getting really sick of all this honor talk. They're like, okay, I get it. Honorable. I'm going on dates with dishonorable people. They don't want to be.

They don't want to be. They're dishonor. yeah i don't even know what that would refer to honestly i don't even know what they mean by i truly have no idea i have no fucking idea well it's honor affairs religion wealth medical problems family issues and disgrace so wealth makes grace don't discuss disgrace if you discuss disgrace that's disgusting right okay but one the one that's like uh wealth or whatever that is true that's like rude to be out and be like oh man i'm making so much that's what i do i sit down I'm like, let's talk tax returns, baby.

Yeah. What did you guys? Doing good these days. Yeah. What did you guys? Nice. What did everybody at the table make last year? That's so fun.

Yeah. What's everyone's rent, yeah. It would be what's everyone's rent is really funny. I love doing what's, because where I live, what's everyone's rent is the most fun for me. Because I think I live in the cheapest place of like everybody I talk to. People in Vancouver do talk about rent. Yeah. Like it isn't considered a rude thing.

Yeah. Because it's so high and absurd. It's not like, it's like, can you do, can you believe how much I'm being ripped off? That's kind of like what the crux of the conversation. And we get to say, can you guys believe how much space I get for what I pay? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I live in like a large apart, a large three bedroom apartment. For, yeah. Bedroom. When you're talking about bedroom, like, think of like, like the crown, like the TV. Yeah. Yeah.

Like those are the bedrooms. talking about. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so this is from etiquette and manners the Facebook group, which you're not going to believe, but these people also have an axe to grind with people in their everyday lives. This person says, when I host a dinner at our house, I usually make extra so my husband and I can have leftovers. What do you say to a guest who asks for leftovers, but doesn't offer leftovers when having dinner at their place? So this is a specific person. Yeah, 100%. This is not, look, I have made a lot of dinners for people. I have never encountered this issue in my life.

I've never had a person in my mind who's like, well, that's the leftovers, bitch. Yeah, that, that's, and it's, I would think, like, I get it. If they're taking food that you want or whatever, I mean, just put it away and maybe say that, hey, we need that for, for lunches tomorrow or whatever. We're going to use that. But like, I would think most people would take that as a compliment. That it's like, holy shit. Yeah, you like my food so much that you want more of it.

that would be, and most people don't want their food. If someone was like, can I take more of your food home? I would be like, oh my God, you're my favorite person ever. That's so great. What are you like showing off your abundance? Like put the leftovers away before you put the stuff out on a fucking table. Oftentimes being like, oh, I'll just put this in my Tupperware for tomorrow. I mean, my cornucopia.

If I didn't, if I put some stuff away for lunch tomorrow, my cornucopia would look empty. Yeah, and I would say it's actually like bad manners to as a host be that precious about what you're making. Like if you accept the role of host, you kind of have to inhabit the mindset of like, all right, my job now is to make sure everyone has a good time. Sort of not exactly no matter what, but definitely like to the point of if they would like to take leftovers, then you can't be like, well, I paid for those ingredients. Yeah, you don't even know how much stuff costs of the grocery store these days. But it's like, yeah, you have to make food with the assumption that it could get all eaten. That's kind of like people might eat all the food you make when you're having people over. Yes.

Yeah. First comment on it was killing me. What? How rude to ask. Oh my God. No. No, again, I think every person I know, like they want to get, they're asking people. Do you want to take some with you?

Like I'll go, you know, please take some home. Like we'll go to my stepmom place. It's like, who wants to take some? She'll be putting together things for people to take with them. Like, I've never heard this attitude ever. This person says something that outlandish can put me on my heels. I'd probably be a deer in the headlights. I'd probably lie and say they were for someone else who wasn't there.

One bad deed deserves another if you ask me. One bad deed. I'm not normally a liar, but I would lie to someone who was acting so horrible to me by asking me for leftovers. That's crazy. Come on with the leftover asking. Let's go to R slash swingers. Hmm. Uh, saw this.

and I thought, hey, let's check this out. Advice and tips for single males. So Libby was like, oh, manners guys, this one should be pretty clean. Yep. I promise you, Chris, that I did not think that. Okay, good. Nobody thinks they're getting clean. Nobody that's guesting on the show is like, it's probably pretty clean.

No, I've listened to the show. I know what's up. Yeah. Okay, good, good. This is etiquette for single men, which they don't ever follow. Yeah, but good, yeah, why even bother printing it, honestly. Yeah, etiquette for dogs. might as well say. Yeah, no shit. No shit. Like, yeah, this is the, it's the equivalent of like,

yeah, that it's, there's literally no point in trying to tell these guys to do anything but be the absolute sickest pieces of shit in the world. Yeah. They're like at the club. It's like, one thing you don't want to do is have the guy minding the single guy pen shock you. That hurts his feelings just as much as it hurts you. Yeah. With his cattle prod. He's got like a taser. No, you stay in there. And I'll tell you what, if you're manning the single guy pen, you best have two or three tasers or some way to recharge them because that thing is going to get overused. You got to get a portable battery pack. Absolutely.

Yeah. Being the guy that guards the single guy pen and then like somebody coming up and you're like this one's frisky, you need to watch out for them. Yeah. Treating them like like livestock. Hey, you, single males in this sub right. Yes, you. I'm sure that most of you are just creeping here trying to decide if visiting a sex club or event will get you easily laid. Single guy's creeping? No, I'm not, I'm not sure that that's accurate.

You can't just accuse people of things. Yeah, come on. Are curious are here for a good laugh. I'll bet you, I'm going to guess that some people are here to whack off. That's my guess. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like they're reading these things and whacking off. Yeah.

I've come to the conclusion. that like the guys that are around the single guys that are around the swinger community like all they have to do is read post to get excited and whack off it's like an immediate yeah probably some of them i mean i would imagine some of them are just imagining it like just the idea of like so there's this community there's this community where i could have sex with the woman yes and it's the easiest path i could post a picture of myself and an influencer i could post a picture of myself and an influencer's comments on Facebook, she'll see it. We're having sex. Because that I've been finding out. Number one, don't expect anything. I put this as number one,

because if you're here going someplace just to get laid, you'll be disappointed. I love the swingers telling somebody that. You'll be a majority of the time, you'll not get any action, especially if you're coming across as a desperate or creepy. The lifestyle is more of a social construct and less than a party scene for most part. So it sounds fun. Yeah. At the very least. Two, don't post dick pics or I'm looking for or bull threads

or ads. So there are tons of single males out there and you're not special and nobody's generally looking for you. It's mostly couples for couples or couples looking for females. It's okay to put dick pics, body picks or descriptions of what you're looking for in your profile. When it

comes to communities, reply with thoughtful responses, questions, comments. if you catch the eye of someone you might be interested in and they'll DM you then refer back to number one so I like that one yeah I was hoping this was going to be more like um make sure that you open the door for women at the sex club oh yeah yeah open the door for a couple step in front of the man who's about to open the door for his wife and then open the door for that both of them that's make sure to share your lube yeah offered to lube the woman up first before you lube yourself yeah I mean that that is how you become a bull is like you stay

and outside of the sex club. You hide in the bushes. And then when a couple shows up, you jump up and open the door for the wife and say, ladies first. Right. Now, I know that you're joking around. Obviously,

we know that how you become a bull is by having a very big penis and being a huge hunk. That is, that is it. There's no. It's just that. That's it. And there's only people being selected as bulls because,

again, they can take their pick. They have like a million to choose from. So it's going to be the real cream of the crop only. It's one of a meritocracy in a way. Mm-hmm. It's kind of inspiring. This one says have good hygiene.

Just to impress. If you're meeting us with people, I love the idea of dress it. Like the single guy shows up in a tuxedo. Ill-fitted tuxedo. He's on the red carpet where he's like, every time I always picture the Rupertump, like just in some nasty looking suit with a bouquet of fucking flowers. Dress like you're going on a first date. It's also good to bring a drawstring bag with things like condo. them's a stick of deodor and a towel.

Yeah, that is... Interestingly specific. Yeah, why a draw string bag? I guess easy access. Is that what they're saying? Like, what are they... Yeah, it seems odd to specify the type of bag. I'm actually thinking about it,

and a drawstring bag is a bag that you can't open with one hand. So in a way, I think that's the worst kind of bag because it needs to be a bag you can fumble with and open with one hand if your other hand is, for example, jacking someone off. It's less classy, too, because you never see a drawstring bag that's not. not like something somebody got for free at work. I was going to say that's a PEA kit bag to me. Yeah.

Wearing it, like being all dressed up, like gussied up and then having a drawstring bag does seem like a real nasty bad look. But maybe it's a lifestyle thing. Maybe they're like very common in the lifestyle for some reason. Yeah. And make sure there's a type, you bring your own towel, which is fantastic thing. Like, oh, yeah, I got to bring a towel. Of course.

He goes, number three. Oh, but have good. And then he goes, also for bonus points, if you're going to a party or a and think about manscaping or getting rid of excess body hair. That's not fair. This is very funny to me to call this sort of manners or etiquette or whatever. It's just, it's just sex stuff. Yeah, it's basic sex stuff.

Like, yeah, you want to like be clean and fresh seeming. Like, yeah, this is all the same type of stuff that you would say before you have sex with someone. I would also say that to me, body hair choices are not a matter of manners. I agree. and body hair you shouldn't have to shave your I look I'm not a hairy guy they're talking about their pubes they're talking about pubs they're talking about guys like a big huge bush or whatever

like I think I don't have that okay I wasn't accusing you I'm just saying that I think that's what they're referring to manscaping is like shaving that here's what I'll say about that is that I am willing to offer to men hey I'm not going to ask you to deal with your pubes if you're not going to ask me to deal with mine.

That's fair. We'll just have a total, yeah, exactly, a total blank slate. And we can just say, hey, you know what? Let's put the arms down and end this awful war. Make your own decision. That's how I feel. Make your own decision. I'll make mine.

I agree with that. And also, I think that probably some people, they like not having a manscape. Like, there are probably people who it's like a preference even, right? Like, so yeah, that does seem like this person is speaking from personal. to have pubes. It's not root to have pubic hair. No, I agree. It's a good one, though.

This is a good one for single guys. Don't hover or creep or crowd couples who are having sex. This is the most important one. This is the one they struggle with the most. Right. Like, um, just can you try, just breathe through your nose and like gently when you're doing this, try not to be, because they get a lot of. Yeah.

And it's like over your shoulder or whatever. Yeah. No, drilling, please. The drool. Yeah. No drooling. That's a big one. This is the one that they struggle with the most and they need help with the most.

Well, there's a part of it that he goes, don't spend too much time in the voyeur area. So he's like, don't sit in there staring it. Listen, I know there's a voyeur area. Yeah. You can watch. But you don't want to be there too long. Yeah, you might get a reputation as like a leer or whatever where you kind of seem like a creepy guy across the room where like it kind of paints you in a bad light.

Again, it's just funny. to me to think about these things, which are like, things that are verging on sort of a problem. I'm not going to say consent-wise, but in terms of like overly horniness, which is not to me the same category of problem as this guy is hogging the arcade machine, you know? Yeah. This guy's finished his meal, but he's still sitting at the table. Not the same category of problem as like, this guy won't stop jacking off. Yeah.

Well, this one here says, that's the big problem. They're all too horny. So they're like, you tell them all these. you could write them down, they could practice them for 50 years. And then they get in the situation and they get so fucking horny that it all goes out the window. Well, I like this one. Also, this one that I think is bad advice for etiquette for a swinger club. Make as much eye contact as possible.

Oh, no. No, no, no. Maybe catch a look from across the room and see if somebody's maybe, you know what I mean, gives you a look back. That I think is good. but you're staring. I mean, this is one of the other ones was don't stare on the manners. Like that's, that creates, that makes people feel uncomfortable if you're constantly trying to make eye contact with them and they're a stranger. And finally, when approaching couples, make sure you introduce yourself to the male first.

Oh, yes. Ask you have to, you have to, well, Libby, it's about honor. Sorry. I didn't forget about honor. It's all about honor and you have to say, um, hello, sir. I would like to, is it possible that I. could be filleted by your wife later and then he'll let you know if she wants to do that. Yeah, me like, may I have this dance, but instead it's, may I have this nut, please?

May I have this nut, please, sir? Do you mind if I step in here and put my penis inside for a little bit? And of course, I won't be asking her. That's implied, obviously. Yeah, that's, yeah. It is a rule that, we've heard that rule a bunch of times with Tom. That's like the thing that Tom gets mad about more than anything in the world is when he's like, some single guy walks up. He starts talking a bunny when I'm not around. I don't fucking think so. Yeah, because they're all old is the thing that you got.

Like the majority of them are like in their 60s or whatever. So they're like they still kind of grew up in that time where it was like, you know, ask for a father's, you know, permission to marry their daughter or whatever. and like just that idea of the man being in control of everything. Yeah, it is. It seems very odd. If you were wanting to have sex with a woman in the sex club, it would seem most the best thing to do would be that talk to her and see if you guys like have a, you know, hit it off.

You don't. I think all you really owe the guy is a quick, hey, how you do it before you get to work on his wife. He's in a sex club where the whole idea is people are having sex with each other, strangers and swinging and stuff like that. It's not just like, hey, why do you think you can just walk up to my wife? wife. It's not like you're out on the street and walking up to her and being like, hey, well, you know, do you want to maybe hook up? It's like, that's the whole purpose of where you are. Well, and then just a short one from our swingers, this is a question tits and blowjob fan had to ask.

Perfect. That's funny about that. He's a fan, you know? I mean, listen, I can't say that I disagree with him. I am a fan. I don't know. I would make it my username. I don't know. I'm not that level of fan. but I definitely agree. I like both of those things. I mean, you're more of an enthusiast than a fan.

Yeah. And you're more into the white caps. Yeah, like I'm more, I'm more into the Vancouver white caps than I am into tits and blow jobs. At this point in my life, I would say that's accurate, actually. That's like a 41-year-old guy that I am

more into my sports team than I am into tits at this point. Because as a male, if a lady's giving you oral and she's eager and talented, when you're getting close and you're close to, you're close to erupting and she keeps going, you warn a second time, and then she doesn't stop. Is it safe to assume that come in mouth is okay? Maybe ask her.

Well, this guy goes, in this situation, I like to announce loudly so everyone can hear, oh my God, that feels so good, I'm going to fill your mouth full of come. That way, the full understanding of what's about to happen is understood. The full understanding, the legal, I mean, look, legally, we can say no one wasn't warned there. Yeah. I'm about to erupt. I'm about to erupt, Matt. If some fucker said, I'm about to erupt.

Yeah. Announcing it in the, like, I announce it as loudly as possible. My wife feels the same. Plus, she likes getting face fucked and have the guy come down her throat. When that happened, she orgasms so hard that she'll be shaking and squirting. Then a single guy replies and goes, one of my dreams. One of my dreams is what? Sorry, is the contention, is the contention that her, like, getting calm down her throat makes her

nut by itself. Yeah, like without any touch or anything like that, she has a no touch orgasm after. Men are so awesome, dude. This guy goes, how else are we supposed to tell you we want it? I was told to keep going. And tits and blowjob fan replies and goes, I won't lie. Most of us would love to hear yes, fill my mouth or something to let us know it's

okay. And then, yeah. But I just want to take it out to say that, you know, this is a communication problem. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fine. Why wouldn't you just ask that? Like, that would make sense if someone's giving you a blowjob is like, where would you like me to come? Like, that's, it's not that difficult.

Here's what they should do. You know, like when you go to that Brazilian Steakhouse and they have the little flag that you put up if you want more meat, have a little flag that's like, yes, common mouth is okay. So that you don't have to take it out to. That's actually very smart. Just have little like, yeah, maybe even just color coded that everyone kind of understands the color. Let's take a look at R slash jam bands. Hey, please clean up after yourself at the venue. Oh, these people are so fucked up on acid and like, you know, that's the issue here.

They're all like having a full on trip and they're just like trying. I mean, what was it? Where was it? Was it fish, the, the piss ogre that we covered on guys plus? Oh, yeah, yeah. That was it fish at the sphere. Fish at the sphere. He's a guy had pissed his pants.

He was this giant ogre who was like dancing and sweating into everyone and knocking people. And like, these guy is just trying to. like, man, he ended up in the hospital afterwards for like, so they're just trying to like get through. You're never, it's always going to be the dirtiest fucking shit ever when you have people that are that fucked up. Yeah, right. Yeah. Hi, peeps. Let's make a greater effort to clean up after ourselves at the venue.

A 20s bratty spectator kicked an empty cup at me while I was sitting at set break in SCI in Chicago last weekend. Funny. What's Scya? What? String cheese incident. Oh, that's my dad used to like string cheese insid it. and I never knew they were a jam bed. I just thought it was like a funny name, you know?

Yeah. I confronted him and he sneeringly called me a trash warrior. Kicking the trash is why our rivers and oceans are unclean and unsafe. Pick it up, put it in a trash. I don't give a fuck if it's yours or not. Let's do better. Yeah, explain it to some guy who's on like five tabs of acid and drank a fucking bottle of rum and is watching the string cheese incident that like,

are you not concerned about our rivers and parks? Waterways. Excuse me, but our Rivers and Park, sir. And he's just like, ah, are a trash warrior. I love, okay,

trash warrior. Yeah, I mean, these are not reasonable people you can have a conversation with about the environment. The first reply is so weird. I'm gobsmacked

at the self-righteous ignorance required to conceive of such an epithet, fighting for the right to be a self-absorbed inconsiderate dirtbag. That kid was trash. First reply, okay,

thesaurus. Okay, I love that. Okay, thesaurus is really good. Got him. Got his ass. Fucking got him.

I'm so pissed off that when I hear gobsmack now that I just think of Sully Erna. Thanks to, thanks to Brian showing me that Sully Erna fucking podcast. He's great, though. And he's never even heard the song God Smack by Allison Chase. He came up with that independent of that.

This guy goes, I worked at a venue, sweeping the floors after shows. Jam Bam fans were often the most messy. Yeah. Yeah. They're disgusting. Of course. I mean, you're thinking in your mind, they're not disgusting, but they are. And this guy goes, a gross bunch for sure.

Some etiquette questions on R slash hooters. Oh, here we go. Libby, you ever been to Hooters before? I mean, other than when I've looked at. Yeah, I used to go there three, four days a week. No, I haven't. I've never been to a hootas. I'm not, there was one in D.C., like near where I worked,

and I would always be like, oh, yeah, but never managed to go. Yeah. Well, Chris has recently been. Not recently. Recently been shocked to find out that it's a family restaurant. Yeah, it's a family restaurant. Yes, I remember hearing this, yeah. But I went like a long time ago when I used to tread boards.

And in Calgary, I went to a hoot. Hooters and was disappointed at almost every aspect of it. But yeah, they don't have one around here. Brian, you used to go all the time, right? I went twice. Okay. I went to strip clubs more and I went to Hooters. Yeah, of course.

You wanted to see them big milkers out there. It sort of feels like once you figured out strip clubs exist and you can go there, why bother with Hooters, you know? Yeah. Even some strip clubs have wings that are probably similar qualities. The wings are disgusting at Hooters. They're not good. They're not good.

That's that whole thing. And Brian was all pissed off because he's like, well, your name's Hooters and yet you don't have purple hooters. Yeah. Yes. Yes. I don't get to suck on anything in this. And what's a Purple Hooter? A purple hooters is Brian's favorite drink.

Okay. But what is it? Second favorite after sex on the beach. Sex on the beach and Purple Hooters are his favorite. That's I used to order those like all the time because it's the only alcohol I ever liked the, I like the flavor of. So I would go to like places like bowling alley bars and say, can I get a purse? purple hooter. I'm Googling right now.

Oh, this looks horrid. I don't know if that is. It's Rasmataz. It's right. It's got Rasmataz. It's got Rasmataz in it. Yeah. This does look nasty.

No, I got into show business because I love a little Rasmatatat. Yeah. Regarding the dress code, are Hooters girls in all or at least a few locations, allowed to wear open-toe shoes or flats. Oh, God. Oh, oh, no. Or even allowed to work barefoot. Oh, no.

Oh, no. As if I could not be more creeped out by hooters. by Hooters patrons. A Hooters fucking guy going there with a massive foot fetish is the scariest thing I've ever thought of. I mean, it is, it is reading. There's been two things recently on this show that has been so eye-opening. And Hooters, good Hooters review. Yes.

Are fantastic to read. And it's always the guys are like, this person. person's fantastic. She was, she was lovely and we had a very strong connection. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to call her sunshine because she brightens everyone's day. Someone said that. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just, yeah, that's a nice thing to say, but. Just so you not realize what's happening to you, you know? Yeah. You're, you're presenting unimaginably horny to people. Yeah. And you are. also being manipulated by a tips based economy in there.

Like this, I just picture the guy. He's like, no, no, try this card, you know, to get an extra tip on there. Like, just really, really. You know, it's mostly, I think, Houd is probably pretty low stakes, you know. We're not talking about people's bank accounts getting drained or whatever, but it's just like, you've got to know what's happening. I know, but Chris always brings up this picture that he gets in his mind of a guy showing up when they open with flowers.

Well, that's the same one that. I talked about before. That's where I first thought of it is the guy who's like, he's waiting outside at opening. He's got his like powder blue ill-fitting suit on and he's got a bouquet of flowers and he says, um, is Jessica working today?

You know, that's how I picture Hooters guys all the time. Whenever I read their reviews. Yeah. This guy, the first reply, barefoot in a restaurant, dude, that's fucking gross. People pee on the floors. What? Libby? I found that

be also odd thing to say about a restaurant they pee on the floors they don't it's not as a matter of practice at hooters they do not say go ahead like when you throw uh peanut shells on the floors they let you throw yeah they let you just whip it out yeah you can't pee in a restaurant two things you got to know about hooters one tits two you can piss on the floor yeah okay hey listen that's an interesting place yeah that's my pitch the sharks yeah this this guy goes even with me and my massive pitch to the show so you know how in hooters it's like basically perfect and they have great food and you can check out hot ladies but the what's the one problem sharks that's right you can't piss on the floor it's the guy doing that yeah i can't believe he said

people pee on i can't figure out what he's talking about so anyway he's being hyperbolic maybe just in like he's talking about it in the bath when you go to the bathroom yeah it's just like a gross place or whatever. Yeah. Well, Hooters is, I mean, the pictures you see in the reviews of Hooters, all of them have seen better days. I would like to see some of these. Yeah, they're not getting a lot of renovations. They're not getting a lot of renovations. You're saying? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. This guy goes, even with my massive foot fetish, I wouldn't want to have the servers walking around anything other than closed-toe, non-slip shoes. The close-toe non-slip. Oh, my God. He's so considerate. Yeah. He's like, listen, of course, it would make me horny as hell. It would keep me going

for weeks, but I'm more concerned with their, you know, with the health and safety of this situation. Fetishist who works at OSHA. Yeah. And then finally, this guy goes, or this guy goes, feed people now want barefoot women in restaurants, degenerates. And then a guy replies and goes, a foot person, not foot people in general. Not everyone with a foot fetish is like, O.P.

Dude. So I like that guy. He's sticking up for his. Absolutely. Yeah. Stick it up for his people. Let's take a look at another just question here that I think is a good one for us. Is it okay or rude to start getting your food at an all-you-can-eat-all-you-can-eat-restraught

before half your party arrives and leaves the table empty? This is for a party of four. Two of us arrived five minutes after we said we expected to arrive, which was five minutes after the restaurant opened, which, by the way. Okay. So you're like, we got to show up an opening. That's when the fresh is food and all the stuff is in the buffet. Like you're planning your buffet visit.

That's before people touched all the food. Yeah. First person in there. He goes, we texted the update like, be there in a couple of minutes. They did say they would sit down if they got there first. And we knew they got there first. The restaurant was already pretty full. We walked around the restaurant to look for the table.

They had already gotten a table and left the table to fill their place. So after we couldn't find the table because they were. weren't at it, we had to go to the buffet and ask them where the table was. In addition, this isn't all you can eat or pick from the menu restaurant. And their policy is if one person gets all you can eat, everyone has to, which is the most expensive option that I wasn't planning on getting. Hmm. Because maybe that's a different thing, but like, I don't know, man. It's like, it's not a fine dining establishment if you, if it has a buffet or whatever, right?

And all you can eat buffet. So it's like, do you really expect everyone to be, you know, using all of this etiquette and shit there? It's like, yeah, people get there and then they're hungry and they want to go eat food. Also, I would say that if I'm going to an all-you-can-eat buffet where the rule is, if one person gets all you can eat, everybody gets all you. Sure. I'm going to assume that some of the other, yeah. I'm not going to be like, oh, no, please, allow me to order my steak. Yeah, because then you ruin it for everyone, right?

Yeah, if you're just like, hey, I'm not getting all you can eat, then that means nobody else at the table can get it. And so you're just like, yeah, sorry, we're not doing all you can eat. That's more rude of you. Yeah, yeah, you're the problem here. Yeah, just get a grip. Just get all you can eat. I get it's kind of expensive, but it's like come, if you know it's an all you can eat place,

come ready to eat, like, you know, skip a meal or whatever. Just eat light for the day and come and, you know, eat a lot of food. Theo used to go to this place with his mom called Bruce Lee's. was a Chinese restaurant Great name Yeah it's very funny Did they name the Chinese restaurant Bruce Lee's

I adore that yeah And it was a buffet And he used to go out all the fucking time man And they loved it And they used to wrap up egg rolls And paper towels And put them in their mom's purse So they can take egg rolls home

Like that is how you get your money I'll at least bring the zip lock back You know Instead of letting the egg roll Because an egg roll is a flaky food You know, that purse. But you wrap it up tight, you wrap it up tight. You wrap it up tight in a nice paper towel like a gift for later on.

Here's the thing is that ladies know the purse gets purse crap in it, you know? The purse gets like sort of detritus in it. I don't want egg roll to be among that. How do you think the purse gets that kind of crap in there, Livy? It's some people taking egg rolls from an all you can eat Chinese buffet. I went with, we used to go to all you can eat sushi. They had all you can eat sushi this place that. genuinely is not like being trying to be funny but they banned us from coming there.

Yeah, like John Panette. Like they couldn't, we couldn't do it anymore because we would come with all these like high school like 17, 18 year old kids who would just like we would eat such an insane amount. And like my friend Tim who was huge, he was like six foot five football player. Yeah. And he could eat so much food. And I remember he would eat so much food. And then he would go and take his shit.

so that he could eat more food. No. So it was like really, really out of control where eventually we showed up and they just said, and we remember it was 1099, but they put the nines backwards. So it was 10 p.p. Then we would always say like we could get all you can eat for 10 p.p. Which was like absolutely incredible. But yeah, I think after a couple of months, we just came in one day and they were like, yeah, you.

No more large boys, please. You can't do it. You can have the normal menu, but we're not going to do it all. We still have it. We're still offering it to normal groups, but you guys can't do it anymore. They should have a sign that says you're not allowed to take a shit at the, like at the restaurant. I don't think legally. What I'm saying is once you've taken a shit, you're not allowed to eat.

Oh, I see. But they would have to, then there'd have to be a restaurant smeller. Yeah. Somebody working there who would, who would confer if it was his shit. You got to pay them a lot. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.

But like a guy, a guy goes to the ball. bathroom. To pee, that's fine because everything's all you can drink, although these days. I mean, they wouldn't have needed much of a smeller for my friend Tim, though, I will say. I have told the story on the podcast before about when we were being robbed by like a guy who robbed and my friend had like had stuff from a growop. And then this guy came in with a gun and robbed. He's now in jail for a long time for a big fentanyl lab. But this guy came in with a gun and robbed us. and then Tim was in the bathroom taking a shit and he's like you gotta get out here

and then he like open the door this guy with a gun and this like gangster was like oh Jesus man holy shit dude it was like a genuinely funny moment that we all shared in the midst of him robbing us with a gun yeah I think it can also be honor system though we're just like well hey now you're talking my language

honor we love honor honor system we're I don't like to discuss it but I do like it just let it be known that I am a big fan of it. That's what we'll say. That's all we'll say. Like just insinuate that you're watching. Just as a way to be like, listen, it's just a sign right at the cash register. If you get all you can eat, if we see you taking a shit, you're not allowed to get.

We definitely can't watch you. They clearly can't watch you taking a shit. I know. But if you just make it, it's like red light cameras, but they're like we have red light cameras here, but red light cameras are illegal. No, I think they. I think you can't, I think you can't even insinuate that you're watching. someone and just watch them.

Or measuring their shit, to be honest. You'd have to have an in toilet camera to get that information. You'd have to have an in toilet camera. I'm not saying. Oh, a weight based system that could work. A deterrent. Like a pressure plate. Like you walk into the bathroom and if you come out and you weigh a certain amount

less than you are now cut off. That's like that lady's. Like the guy. We talked about that. Yeah. Wait, what was that? Brian, remind me. It was the guy who.

Something about. like a thief right this is from the security guys episode yeah that's right where it was they wanted a they wanted a scale they wanted to hide a scale on their front porch so that when they have people over they can weigh them on the way in and weigh them on the way out got that rucks yeah yeah yeah here's a question i love this one this is one of the ones where it's like it could be solved with a conversation what's a polite way of saying this without lying a friend gave me a book for my birthday, as she knows I'm an avid reader. She was so excited about it, saying it was recommended to her, and she loved it. She kept asking me if I started, so I finally did. It's not a good novel.

It's very poorly written, ridiculous plotline, etc. I really tried, but after about 40 pages, I could not subject my brain to any more. She recently asked me again about it, and I kept it vague, saying, oh, I'm just now starting it, knowing I have no intention to keep reading it. What should I say the next time she asked? I don't want to insult her. So was thinking of something like, well, I can see you like it, but I'm sure this genre, I'm not sure there's genres for me. Perfect. Or maybe.

End the friendship, to be honest. Just never talk to, this is too hard. It does get revealed like later in the thread that this is a self-published book. Oh. Not by the. Yeah, but by somebody else, but like, I really. Somebody, which you know is just a bad book. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's got to be just horrible. He goes, well, I can see what, or maybe, I'm not sure. why but I just can't seem to get into it thoughts yeah I think you just yeah that's the that's the answer and listen you don't want to insult her and that is very kind of you but I will say that if you are somebody who's like listen I love this book you need to read this book you're opening yourself up to feel that insult a little bit you like you have to recognize that somebody might not agree with you have to be prepared for the possibility yeah yeah same with the movie like I told what was it I told Brian that the housemaid was, you know, that new movie.

It's like kind of Amanda Seafrid and, uh, and what's her name from Euphoria? Um, anyways, it, uh, I said that it was really funny, which it is. It's a very funny movie. But then it starts off not funny at all, you know? And then so Brian, like, told his family, like, oh, Chris said this is so funny or whatever. And they thought I was like a psycho for the first 30 minutes of it. But I thought it was in the part where you find out who the bad, guy is. Yeah. They're like, wait, he thinks this is funny. And I was like, I think it changes.

I trust Chris. It changes. It becomes funny. It's played for laughs definitely. But yeah, there is like, but I have to accept the fact that if I give that recommendation say this is a great movie, this is really funny that you should watch it or whatever, that it could come back saying, hey, I didn't think it was funny at all. I didn't think it was good. We also liked it. All of us liked the movie. It wasn't that we didn't like it. Uh, this person replies, I love that you, quote, I love that you shared your favorite book with me. Thank you. It's not something I normally choose for myself.

Tell me what you liked most about it. And then I'd read the last chapter in a Wikipedia summary. And whenever she asked about it, ask her what she liked, why she liked it. Okay, this is you're making, this is really too much, way too much work. You're turning it into more that it needs to be. You need to cut it off. You just need to say, hey, you know, it's not, wasn't for me. It sounds like you like it a lot, but like I really couldn't get into it or whatever.

I know a guy that owns so many books. Well, no Sean, those aren't exactly books. It's not porno Sean. He owns, he collects books, right?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I got a first to do it. Right. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. We have a ton of books. And anytime you recommend a book or a movie to him, he goes, I'm going to put it on my list. But his list is like a thousand fucking books long. Yeah. It's like,

Bro, you're never getting, just say I'm not going to read the book. Yeah. You know what I mean? Or I'm not going to watch. I'll put the movie on my list. I've definitely done the, I'm going to put it on the list thing when I have no intention of watching it. Because here's the thing is my list isn't that long and I mostly just watch YouTube these days. And yeah, I hate it when people are like, like, you can tell me you like the book or whatever.

But you got to know. It almost makes me not want to read the book at that point because then it becomes like, What am I? It's like homework. It feels like school and it feels like you like have been assigned to read this thing versus like deciding to do it on your own. I definitely agree with. Friendship homework is pretty tough.

Yeah. I'm not going to be, not be doing a lot of homework, I would say. No. I mean, I read well, now, I barely read. But when you read, well, you read variety.

Of course I do. And the Hollywood reporter. The Hollywood reporter. He actually does. I'm not doing that. No, I heard that. Yeah.

It's because I'm fascinated with the. people. Yeah, the gossip. I don't like, no, I don't like People magazine. I like to hear business talk. I like to feel like I know about a business. Yeah, who's up and who's down, you know? Thank you, Libby. That's great. Well, I've been, I've been actually, I just to impress Libby. I've been watching almost exclusively British panel shows. It's all I watch now. Yeah. So I'm, my two favorites are would I lie to you, although I'm off of what I lie to you now a little bit because I'm watching eight out of ten cats does countdown. Wow.

Which is my favorite one that I've become obsessed with this comedian. Well, people have talked about Bob Mortimer is like, I've become obsessed with Bob Mortimer. But my new guy that I'm obsessed with and rest in peace is Sean Locke. Jimmy Sam. I love. Brian. Brian. I just think he's so funny.

Yeah. No, but yeah, Sean Locke was the absolute king. I've been talking about Bob Mortimer a lot on this podcast, and people have sent a lot of messages like, oh, I love Bob Mortimer. Check out Sean Locke on any panel show his stand-up. So, so, so, so good and so funny. Yeah, I miss him greatly. Yeah, no, that's great.

Brian, sorry, Brian, you can move on to your stuff. We were just talking British stuff. We're just talking British stuff. That's what we do on my podcast. I like British stuff. I recently watched a British thing. What was it? I don't remember.

Don't ask. Okay. I like British drama shows. All you remember. about it was that it was British. You remember the accents where you didn't really understand everything. Oh no, it was a documentary. It wasn't British. It was

actually Irish. I knew it. I knew it wasn't British. It was Scottish. It was Scotland. Scotland is. Scotland is Coulouse. Yeah, Scotland is. Irish is not Scottish is. Yeah, it's what Glasgow is. Wherever place that it was based out of there. It was a murder show. What's it called?

True Crime Murder. Should I marry a murderer? Oh, I saw that on like that when I was scrolling through Netflix, but I thought it was, yeah, I didn't, I didn't, wasn't really. We watched it last night. She doesn't marry the murder. She actually turns them in. Oh, don't spoil it for those who might be. Snitch. This person goes. Another alternative is Goodreads reviews and search for spoiler reviews. I read or listen to a lot of books, but 99% nonfiction. When someone recommends a fiction book,

I tell them, I'll try it. Uh, but besides the murder bot audio books, I can count on one hand the number of fiction books I've enjoyed. This guy goes, if I were in your shoot, I'd tell her thank you and that you're enjoying the book or I would just say that you had to pause the book to catch up on other hobbies or obligations. I had to pause the book. I actually am behind on my Legos. Yeah.

So, you know, I am behind on my Legos. Oh, you got your Lego table out. Oh, you can. Yeah, I can see your Lego table. You haven't had your Lego. You told me you were totally off the Lego. Oh, you have a little plant. Is that the piranha plant?

Yeah. Yeah. It's not done yet, but yeah. That looks like a very simple build. How come it's not done? It's 18 plus. No, I didn't say, I shouldn't, I didn't question that. I'm just saying it looks like it.

It says that looks simple to you. It looks like it has large pieces and then it would be pretty simple to put together. Don't act like it's Duplo. Listeners, it's not Duplo. It's an 18 and upset. Yeah. It just looks pretty. simple. I guess it's a little harder

because it's all the same color, right? So that makes it a little more difficult. That's the easy part. That's the easy part. That's the, Chris, that's the easy part. What's the hard part? The hard part is the mechanics. There's mechanical movements and stuff in there. I see. The flower's got to be able to

do its thing. Yeah. You know? Yeah, I see. I got you. That's the part I'm up on now. I'll get it done. Hey, don't worry. I'll get it done. I got a set in the closet right now. I told you shopping set. It's called something like shopping world. Shopping World.

Shopping World. He got made fun of so much when he brought that up. But he's like, no, I got a real adult set. It's called Shopping World. Let me look at it. I remember what it was. I'll look. I got this real adult set.

It's called Mr. Beasley's Bakery and lovely cake shop. Ryan's away from the computer now for the listeners. He's getting his shop. Okay. I just Google shopping world. That's not. Shopping. Lego? It's shopping street.

This does look fucking nice. This looks like a movie set or something. Yeah. And I love shopping. Yeah. Me too. Big time in the shopping. Yeah, it looks cool. I went, we Ariel and I yesterday went on a little bit of a date and we walked on

Main Street in Vancouver. Do you end up on Homer? Why did I know you were going to? Did you get the Homer? No. It's nowhere near. It's nowhere near. It's nowhere near. that it's not close to that really. Okay, so, but we went to a toy store

and I cracked up, Ariel, because we went to this toy store, as children's little kids toy store, looking for a toy for Charlie. And there was a whole wall of Lego and I was like, wait a second, is this like an adult? This is a store for adults? She knew I, she just understood that I was making a crack at Brian and we just all

had a good laugh. It was really fun. Hmm. It is an adult store. Here's an R slash edict question I found interesting. Mom applied to work at my place of employment. What's the etiquette on how and whether to reach out to the talent acquisition partner? I'm torn because I don't know the TA partner personally, but I can't just casually stop by her desk and strike up a conversation. Also, I really want to help my mom get an interview. She's more than qualified for this job. Is the etiquette different when you're referring a family member? I find I have worked with my mom. I did have a job with my mommy.

you did where did you work when i talk about the call center that i worked at wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait a second what your mom worked at the call center where you referred the guy who got fired for jack yeah she didn't know anything about it so she was like did she i feel like she would i mean that would have knew it happened it was uh talk of the town when it happened so did you refer your mom as well no she referred me So she is guilty. Yeah, I mean, like the chain of custody here is pretty damning. Her fail son who then refers a guy who gets fired for jacking off. Now all of her friends at work or whatever, they all know.

Yeah, it's like a nice one, love. Oh, my goodness. Your dipshit son referred the fucking jacking off guy. Wait a second. That guy who got fired for jacking off his death. Isn't that the kind of your son? Like, think about that. in the lunchroom.

I don't think it was a big deal. Yeah. Anyways. I mean, it was a big deal that a guy got, again, I don't think references, maybe it's an Ohio thing.

Maybe it's a Groveport. I don't know, but I don't think references mean as much as they used to. I have no fucking idea. Honestly, if you're out there and you know how real jobs work, please let me know.

Because as far as I can tell, nobody knows how to get them anymore. Yeah, References do mean something I think in that. Like it just meant like fired. They don't look at you like lesser than. Well, they look at. Yes, they do, I would say.

Because they look at you like, oh, you know that guy. And you said, hey, he should get a job here. Like, that's a friend of yours. You continued hanging out with him afterwards. Well, that is also not my fault. No, I understand. It's not like I was wanting to hang out with him afterwards. I do think it reflects poorly on you a little bit in all seriousness.

I think it would like I would. just me and I don't know what your job situation was in but if I had any possibility of finding another job if I referred somebody and they got fired for jacking off at their desk I would be out on fucking pounding the pavement trying to find another job immediately to get out of there because I would just feel humiliate it's funny though like we all just thought it was kind of funny it is it is funny it is pretty funny I think it's funny to get your mom a job at work though for some reason it depends on the job, but listen, your mom needs a work. Like, if I could get my mom a job and she needed a job, I love my mom.

I would definitely try to help her get a job. My mom got me a job and it went great. Here's a weird question from somebody. Tipping housekeepers at hotel, no cash. Now, you're supposed to tip the housekeepers. I'm not saying that's a weird thing to ask. His method that he's come up with, you don't want to do. I can't wait.

suppose I'm checking out of my hotel room. The housekeepers have done a good job and I realize I have absolutely no cash on me. Is it acceptable to leave a little note with my phone number and text me with your Fenmo or PayPal info so I could tip or something to that effect? Yeah, definitely ask for their phone number. Leaving your phone number for the housekeeper is some porno-ass shit. It really is. I mean, you're giving your phone number and you're expecting. that person to like call do the leg work yeah yeah I would be hello please can I have my

$10 yeah yeah I would be really I would be kind of as someone who did housekeeping thank you very much I worked in a hotel and I didn't work in the housekeeping but you take shifts in other places and I did housekeeping I would be I would be freaked out by that like I would think there's like something else going on definitely like why wouldn't you just go take money out and leave cash right I would say that yeah and often I feel like there will be an ATM you could just go to. But if for some reason you can't do that, you could write down your Venmo username and say, yeah, can you Venmo request me?

But that also makes them do the. That's why you have to have cash. Yeah, you know. It's just part of the thing. For tipping that type of thing. The most reliable place for a working ATM to be is a hotel. For sure. I can't think of a more reliable place than the hotel lobby to get to an ATM.

I mean, maybe like a convenience store. Sometimes those don't work. Finally, here's our last question. Is there a reason why British people prefer the chop and eat as you go method? And how does it compare to American dining habits? What is that? What is chop and eat as you go? No, I did.

You love it, Libby. Libby playing dumb right now. Like, what are you even talking about? My hands are up. I don't know. I don't know what it is. It's chopping eat as you go is cut. your food as you go.

You eat your food instead of cutting it all up. But wait, wait, wait. That's how you eat. That's the right way to eat. That's the normal way to eat. What do you eat it? Do you chop it all up, Brian? Sometimes.

Okay, that's bizarre. And maybe the American, but listen, and I'm a commonwealth country as well. So we take a lot of our cues from the Brits. But I do believe that chopping your food up makes the most sense, eating it as you go. So like you have a steak. And then before you eat it, You're like, I'm just going to cut this up into my little bite-sized pieces. But it gets cold faster then.

Who cares? That's what do you mean? Who cares lots of people? That's like the point of people want to eat hot food. When your food gets cold, some people send it back for being cold. If you eat, if you chop it all up before you eat, you're going to eat it much faster than a chop and eat as you go. Listen, I've made steak bites before where I chop it up before I cook it. And it cooks really fast in like an air fryer or whatever.

And it makes it like a lot easier. and you know but no I've never even thought of the concept that it seems like well wait that's not true we do that for my dog the baby is what I was thinking for my dog but I don't have somebody else do it for me I like I when I do it it's just like you know what let's get the work out of the way here so we can get to the recreation oh yeah you're sitting there thinking I'm the baby and I'm the mommy too I go eating my food yum yum yum I mean, it's the best part of being grown up. You get to be the baby and the mommy. Exactly.

Brian, Brian knows all about that. I understand. Yeah. But I, that's genuinely bizarre to me, the idea of cutting up. So this is a common thing in the United States.

Yeah, I know a lot of people that do it. I've never seen that happen. I've never met someone. I've never gone out with someone who does that. Other than for their children, I've literally never seen that ever. Every single person I've ever eaten food with, and I've eaten food with a lot of people in my life,

every single one of them has used the chop and eat. Chop and eat as you go. Oh, yeah. We all call it that. Yeah. The chop and eat as you go. I don't think it's that. I just call it eating.

I just call it eating a meal. Chop and eat as you go. The answer to the question, it's called civilized dining, you see. Yeah. Yeah. In Great Britain, we're taught from a very young age how to use a night. and fork and how to behave like civilized human beings. All right.

Well, now I'm getting embarrassed. Yeah, this is getting a little bit. That's a bit much. The civilized human beings when sitting at the dining table and eating our food. The idea of cutting up the food and then discarding the knife only to shovel the food into your mouth with the fork is the height of ignorance and utterly frowned upon in this country. See, that's weird to me because again, the chop. I get the chopin eat as you go. I guess if the food gets cold fast

or whatever. Don't be like I get it like as if like hey I get this crazy thing that you guys are doing. It's definitely the normal way to do it. Yeah, we're normal. I'm normal in this sense. Brian, in this rare instance, you are the not normal one. I don't do it every time. I had steak

the other day I chopped and eat it as I go. That's very, yeah. I chopped and eat it as I go. I chopped to eat as I go. I went to a fine dining French, restaurant chop the needle as I go I ain't I ain't chopping up all before excuse me waiter could you cut this up for me well now he wouldn't even ask that he would have his wife asked that for him because he'd be too nervous shut up I had my wife had to ask for ketchup for me yeah yeah because it's too nervous

too nervous to ask for anything at the restaurant so he's like Katie has to be like oh can he'd like he'd like two coke coke coke is like off too diet right right to diet to start, you know? And she'll, like I said, she was like, hey, can he have ketchup for me? Because I was like, guys, I want ketchup. Too nervous to ask. No, I see, I, in that situation, and look, maybe this is, I don't mean to stunt on Katie here, but I would just be like, hey, can I get some ketchup?

Yeah. And then they see, obviously, then they see the shy hobby using the ketchup and they know, but, you know. I'm not shy. Can I just, can I just defend Katie? Can I. I'm not shy. I'm trying to be, I don't like the, I hate that I want ketchup at a French restaurant. Like I go to this really nice French restaurant.

There's this fine dining place in town. And I'm sitting down and I'm like, I'm wearing a cowboy shirt. It's going pretty well for Brian. Oh, this is a nice restaurant. So we're using the chop and eat as a go technique here. I was chop and eating as I went. That's how nice it was. Libby, that's how nice this place was.

I mean, that is fancy. Can I ask what the meal was? I had steak, freets. Okay. No, that's fine. There's ketchup for the fries. Yeah, that's what I said. That's what I said.

I should use the borderlays. I should use the borderline. I should use the french fries. No. If a place has French fries, it's perfectly reasonable to ask for ketchup. Absolutely. But I just wanted to circle back to defend Katie in that I think the reason she says he would like it.

Yeah. Is because she would really like him to just take the responsibility. Yeah. So she's hoping at some point that, you know, she's like a little bit shaming him and like a nice way to be like, you can ask for this. I don't have to do this every time. It's not weird. Yeah.

Because that's what she always says. It's not weird, Brian. Yeah. But I have a real, like, nerve about the people that work at a place. Maybe it's from all those years doing street fighting and taking phone calls and stuff from employees. Like, I don't want to be horrible. You don't want to be the bad guest, yeah. The French thing, the restaurant was just like, I know that, like, ketchup is frowned upon in that sort of world.

But I didn't ask to go to that plate I went to that place because my daughter wanted to go to it Well you should explain all this to them When you put your hand up and say Here's the thing is I didn't ask to come here And all I need is some ketchup, okay? And I'm gonna cry if you don't bring it They did have the best Diet Coke I've ever had there

So anyway this person goes the idea To us a lack of table manners Rather denotes a breakdown in civilization No Shut up Yeah shut the fuck up British people of mine. You're not helping me.

Yeah, everyone's wrong here. It's like you're right in theory, this person. But now they're coming across as incredibly smug. Yeah. That's what all the chop and eaters you go people are like. You think we all come across as a bit smug. We're all a bit smug about shopping and eating as we going. Yeah.

I hear it all the time. It's all anybody says. Yeah. He goes, by all means, carry on and do so. Just go and do it in an actual cave and not in a restaurant. Civilized people are trying to enjoy their dinner So that is Listen I bet you that that would probably be like

You know a cave would probably be like some really Nowadays it'd have like a fancy restaurant in a cave Like that would be like the coolest most fancy kind of restaurant Yeah you need a big rock Yeah exactly And it would be like that would actually be better than the place That this British person is talking about You know wouldn't they serve you steak on a stone?

No You don't hear of that I mean I've never had it happen to me before But I can imagine it But I mean that was the big game of the place that I ate at, steak on a stone. And I literally thought it was just a hot rock.

And then they brought it out. And it was just like a piece of slate, like a flat. Oh, and it's like, is it hot? Yeah. Yeah. I got tuna there because I was trying to prove to Katie that I could eat fish. I should have got steak. You should have got steak.

It was a different time of my life. I was wearing a blazer and a bowler hat. And I was trying to convince everybody that I was in the fish. Yeah. Oh, yeah. We'll send you the photo. I would love to see that. I wore a fedora and a baller hat

because I wanted to be a gentleman for a few years. Yeah. So, but I would wear it with like the picture of me wearing one as in a t-shirt. I also have a picture of me wearing a fedora and a Coheed in Cambria t-shirt. Look, I had a hat phase too. You know,

it was 2006. It was a different time. You got to do it. You had to do it. They were like, if you're wearing a ball cap, you're acting like a little child. Right.

So I was like, I want to wear a hat. You were just trying to be a proper gentleman with good manners. That's true. Libby, tell people where to find you. The podcast is What's All This Then. Brian has been on and Chris will be on. I don't know when this comes out,

I used to do geogessor where I became obsessed with finding sheds. I don't know where it came from, but I really, and now I drive by on the highway over in Vancouver and I see this fucking perfect shed all the time. Yeah. And it reminds me of that. So, yeah, maybe, yeah. Of your shed years. The shed years, yeah.

Yeah, the shed years. It was a good time. I'd like you guys show my apartment. What do you mean? I'll just give you the. Oh, you'll give your address. I'll just give you the home address.

That's not how Geogessor works. Geogessor is not a doxing platform. Oh, yeah, Geogessor, it gives you a random place. You have to figure out where it is. There are times where I want to do a Brian's cribs

because Chris says my apartment is too big. I would love that. And it's not big. So I would not. Well, it's not too. You use the space. You have like the tennis,

the indoor tennis court and you have like this stuff. So it's like it doesn't feel big because it's like it's all filled up with, insane like antique furniture and things like that. The Lego room. The Lego floor. The Lego floor. It's more of a floor.
