This is a HeadGum Original.
Get that Angel Reef Special at McDonald's now.
Let's break it down.
My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course.
And don't forget the fries and a drink.
Sound good?
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba.
At participating restaurants for a limited time.
I just wanna know how you feel. for a limited time. The first thing they hear is
Okay
You know I actually have to go babysit
You guys see the name on the fucking description
It's not just Riley and I today
We have a podcasting Lothario really You guys see the name on the fucking description. It's not just Riley and I today.
We have a podcasting Lothario, really,
a Casanova when it comes to all things audio laughs.
We have John Gabrus on the show.
Hi.
Thanks for coming on. Guy Code, raised by TV, high and mighty.
Action Boys.
What was the one?
You were in What We Do in the Shadows.
I caught you on that.
You can just plug podcasts because when you plug TV,
it scares me because of how long ago it was.
I'm waiting for season three to come out,
and then you're just suddenly back as a series regular on that show.
I haven't been DMing Jermaine clement who does not know me at all saying like i think
they should go to the dock again it's humiliating i was literally a pilot of what we do in the
shadows which means a pilot is filmed even earlier than the rest of the season so i filmed that like
four years ago.
So you bringing that up reminds me that I've done maybe two things since then.
We love it.
You know what's funny is that on High and Mighty,
you're always talking about how you don't consider yourself,
like you're not where you want to be.
But I consider yourself, I would be so happy to be where you're at.
I know.
And that's the fucking realization that we all need to have is that there's people out
there who would be killed to be where you are at.
You guys would love to be where I'm at.
I'd love to be where this person standing just off camera, Jason Segel.
Can he talk?
Seth Rogen is on this.
Can he talk on the show or are they just going to hang out?
Neither of them.
I asked them.
They don't even want to guest on my podcast.
Okay. Okay. That's fair. I think they're both listening to Dough of them i asked them uh they don't even want to guest on my podcast okay they just want to that's fair i think they're both listening to dough boys off camera to be honest so i don't blame them did i miss anything is there anything you want to plug
up top no no no podcast is where it's at because i also think it might be the only thing going on
in the next couple of years so i'm gonna stick with it and let's love podcasts. Let's love podcasts. Hi, Mighty Action Boys, the Gino Lombardo show, Raised by TV.
Four podcasts, arguably.
One is at least defunct, thank God.
My most popular successful one is now.
Thank God that one's over and I'm just busting my ass on three more.
Thank God I distanced myself from Laurenuren lapkus the uh proven talent and success
finally i'm out on my own yeah we tried to get her for this episode too and she said god no
no she said is gabriel's doing it and you were like yeah i think that would be a selling point
she sprayed herself with pepper spray and said i can't do it women hey tell me about it right god i know seriously right you know you're a woman i
fucking know women jeff is like learning about them we're all set jeff's heard of them i just
don't like i keep rubbing them the wrong way and i'm just like i don't know don't rub them at all
dude that's the trick right you gotta wait until they uh specifically request to be rubbed. And that never happens for me. That's the fucking issue.
And Jeffrey, it's not just women.
It's just kind of... That's the rub.
It's everyone.
It's the rub.
The rub is there is no rub.
Therein lies the rub. The lack of rub
rubs you the wrong way. And that's the thing too
is I just moved into this new place. Like I said,
living in a basement. My roommates are all upstairs.
Separate entrance for me. They had to build
it out just so that I don't have to walk through the house
to see them. Oh, hell yeah.
The house didn't come that way.
Normally a plus, but they didn't give me
a key to the main house, right? So I'm trying
to jiggle the lock and they're like, no way, man.
We don't want to see you. They're like, climb into
the storm drain like we left for you, bro.
He's like, that door at the door.
Covered in dry rainwater.
It's like, you gotta go in the same way all the cave
crickets do, Jeff.
I think it was maybe
last week, this week, I don't know, but we
talked about how the entrance
to Jeff's part of the house is
very treacherous and spooky.
A skinny alleyway.
When Jeff brings a lady over,
she will absolutely think she's going to be murdered.
Well, at least that's not something you have to worry about.
Yeah.
Oh, thank God we don't have to be stressed about that, though.
Right.
Oh, my God.
Isn't it so cool?
It's all fun and games on the show,
but when I hang up,
I just cry myself to sleep every night
on these little gentle ribbings that you guys think is a lot of fun actually i think it's like really
really cool to like be in a relationship during this time and it's like it's just like such a
special thing like i mean it's like you know gabriel obviously you're with your wife and with
i'm with daniel and it's just like it's so it's just so nice to like not sleep alone does that
make sense i can't even lie on the grass is greener on every side i will i will say
you know i'm 200 days into quarantine sharing a apartment with a working from home wife who
has a real job that involves calls all day and video chats uh i'm not gonna lie i'm maybe too
fat for the aforementioned alley but i'd love to try it you'd love to try the entrance
I'd love to try an alley
I'm at the level of quarantine the time
into the quarantine where Jeff's like I live
in a basement by myself and it's impossible to
get in and out of I'm like appealing
that sounds
by yourself you say
like to confirm no one else
no one else sounds great to me i guarantee if you had my
wife on the pod she would agree tell me more about your fucking basement solo apartment i might need
a fucking separate entrance into a crawl space in my house she's gonna build one for me get into
the room through a fucking air duct yeah i enter I enter through the half-bath toilet somehow.
But we can all agree that you're never alone when you're with the Holy Spirit.
Let's really get into it.
Thank God.
God damn it.
What kind of transition?
No, I'm just saying delis are sort of
the second coming of Christ,
which maybe doesn't make a lot of sense
because oftentimes they're Jewish.
Famously Jewish delis are the second coming of Christ.
I will say this is where I will stand up
for the other people that own delis.
Italian deli.
The Italians, we own some delis.
We own some delis.
And they're very into Jesus.
Sorry, I've ribbed white tank top crucifix.
A-frame t-shirt.
Oh, no.
I like to put on an A-frame t-shirt and slap my wife around.
Holy shit.
Have you ever worn it?
It's fucked up.
Call it an A-frame shirt, but I still wear it when I tee off on my wife.
God.
It's T-ball to you.
Have you ever worn an A-frame tank in an A-frame house?
No, because the A-frame shirt was a part of my East Coast life.
And so A-frame houses became part of my west coast life so the two have never met though i think i might have
mac weldon a-frame tank tops somewhere in one of this the visible drawers behind me also i'm
realizing now that you do record the zoom and i took it in a cut off t-shirt
it just came to me i was like oh i'm like looking at my messy ass apartment in the Zoom and I took it in a cut off t-shirt.
It just came to me.
I was like,
oh, I'm like looking at my messy ass apartment in the background
and then just remembered that you filmed this
and I'm like,
well, well,
in too deep.
Visible pit sweat.
Let's just kind of redeem the shirt though
because what is the logo?
What does it say?
This has been in my life
for a very long time.
Oh my God.
It's a dare t-shirt resist.
What is it?
Drugs and violence?
Yeah, dare to resist drugs and violence. I dare you.shirt resist what is it drugs and violence yeah dare to resist
drugs and violence
I dare you
I dare you to resist
drugs and violence
I literally triple dog dare you
I'm not even kidding
I dare you to resist it
fuck I can't
I lose
consequences
I'll buy you a coke
I don't even know the rules
Gabus what are your
what is your experience
with delis
it was really fun
I have to say
it was really fun
coming up with things for you
because you have a whole brand yeah I'm pretty i pretty much wear my personality on my
sleeve not very or not about me or not i just wear it right there on the fucking tricep brother uh
yeah i uh i have a strong i have a strong brand it helps if you have 250 episodes of a podcast
where you play yourself and just talk constantly over all your guests you guys will learn all about that shortly um yes uh you guys list for both what you wanted to do for review
review and for what you wanted to do for high and mighty when you sent me the high and mighty
topic ideas i it was cupid shot me in the fucking heart dude shot through the heart um and like you
didn't give love a bad name you gave it a great name and that name was like spoiler i don't even know when these episodes are airing but spoilers you
guys are also on my pot whatever i fucking love delis i ate breakfast at them like all the time
and i i've lived in very deli heavy uh cultures which is cultures or areas long island for my
entire upbringing and then uh York City for 10 years after
college before moving out here.
I have tons of deli experience.
I ate breakfast at a deli every
morning when I was a lifeguard because you just want
bacon, egg, and cheese. Pre-coffee,
you just get bacon, egg, and cheese and Gatorade. Then when you get
to be a real man and start drinking coffee, you get
bacon, egg, and cheese and coffee. Sausage, egg, and
cheese. I'm a grown man now.
I upgraded. Bacon's for babies. I'm a grown man now. I upgraded.
Bacon's for babies.
Yelling at the counter guy?
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I'll have a sausage, egg, and cheese and a Bloody Mary because I'm 19 now.
We don't have that.
I'm a man.
All right.
I'll take a Clamato then.
I brought my own vodka.
When I was in a fraternity for a semester in college, they forced me to drink a Clamato because I accidentally.
Well, this isn't a good story for the show.
No, we can leave it out.
I pissed on one of the seniors' beds.
Can y'all remind me what's in a Clamato, please?
Just to remind you, because you'll remember.
I used to drink it all the time.
It'll all come back to drink it all the time i'm positive you used to drink it
all the time because it's a perfect blend of tomato juice and clam juice that's absolutely
right bud light makes one that's a combination of clam juice tomato juice and bud lights
in case you needed one more thing to make it absolutely disgusting thank you it's all coming
back to me now oh my god my God. My youth. Everything. Everything.
Oh, I remember when I was a child dock worker drinking a Clamato as the ships would come in.
We used to make our own Clamatos with our own two hands and our own clams.
I used to bring clams.
My wife back in the day had a tomato garden and we would just combine the two.
The old life when I was a married Sicilian fucking
longshoreman.
The worst couple in the fucking world.
Ten years old and like yellow
wellies up to my thighs.
Cracking an egg
into a Clamato beverage.
What the fuck? Rise and shine
bitches.
Ancient dog worker child.
Come here son, it's time for your first drink
Just shaving
Instead of salt in the rim it's just pubes
Why?
Why?
Wrong word
Wine
Let's get some rosé in the bitch
Okay
I just put a magnum of red wine
in my fridge for a little chilled red
later on my porch
that's not a bit either
big Thursday night plans
for Uncle Gabrus
you just said wine
and I was like yes I'll be drinking that
soon enough
you even moved the recording of this up a half hour.
I'm like, well, I actually am done now.
If we recorded three, I could drink soon.
It was like literally in my brain.
It's the motherfucking quarantine.
I pissed my bed this year.
Because you were drunk?
I was fucking wasted and I pissed.
My wife woke up to what she thought was a pipe leaking
because I was laying on my side at the edge of my bed.
It wasn't. It was technically
a pipe had burst.
I was taking a full on
300 pound man
piss like leaning on my
side on the side of the bed. My wife
woke up to it. It was landing
in like an inch deep puddle of
my completely clear because I had been drinking so much tequila and soda and so much water. She woke up to it it was landing in like an inch deep puddle of my completely clear because i had been
drinking so much tequila and soda and so much water she woke up at like the end of it and it
still had 30 seconds left i hadn't i haven't even got i haven't even gotten that fucked up since
then because i was like truly like that's just not supposed to happen to you once you're like 40
it's the old cameron hey ma where he like, and you know I can lay the pipe.
So for you,
that's what it means.
That guy was incorrect.
I can lay the pipe,
but it was mostly
for sewage reasons,
not any pipe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Runoff style.
So breakfast at deli's,
what else?
Breakfast at deli's,
deli lunch,
and then when I moved
to New York City,
when I moved to Brooklyn,
I had four delis on thei lunch and then when i moved to new york city when i moved to brooklyn uh like i had
four delis on like the three corners i lived in i lived like at every single intersection i like
and i had went to different delis for different reasons like mrs kim had the better price on
beers but the colombian guys on the corner um they were called columbia foods and so i'm not just like
racially labeling them though i guess saying m. Kim is weirdly a racial relation too.
But whatever,
you know what I'm saying.
This Asian broad sold me beer.
These Colombian guys
sold me breakfast.
Iced coffee at one of the two of them.
New York melting pot
of the world, bro.
It's all a melting pot.
We got fucking Puerto Ricans
running around.
We got fucking Italians over here.
Jews doing their thing.
See you all in the corner thing just yelling all racially
charged but no no slurs no labeling of anyone just describing it hey italians used to be
discriminated against here too and then there was a like you had to know which delis would still
serve iced coffee in the winter and then when you got a new job at like uh for me like as a
freelancer it'd be like where am me, like as a freelancer,
it'd be like, where am I working?
There's a deli by UCB where you can get beer
and late night food.
There's a, like, I just knew where everything that I,
oh, there's four delis on this intersection.
Well, the Northwest Deli,
it makes the best chicken cutlet sandwiches.
But if you want an Italian combo,
I'm back around the Southeast corner.
Like you just eventually learn that.
Those guys have scratch-offs, but no sandwiches.
These guys have sandwiches, but no scratch-offs.
You eventually learn it all.
And for those of you who don't live in the tri-state area, New York and Long Island are fucking deli rampant.
In my hometown of Belmore, New York, which is X amount of square feet, it's like four minutes to drive across uh has like 11 delis and then once you take that
four minute drive into any other town in any direction they have 11 to 15 days they're
everywhere dude where do you guys have were delis a big part of your lives growing up i mean so i'm
from la and so growing up like i mean not really like the big one would just be like i don't know
like canters like that would be like the only like look one of the local one,
at least like one that I knew that I'm like,
Oh yes,
that is,
that is a deli that I can go to.
LA is more like LA is more like burger and donuts than like a day and pizza.
Like New York is sort of leans towards deli pizza,
that world and LA.
Cause that's what the main,
my main complaint about LA is I'm having a hard time
finding
like New York
had so many delis
that like
LA has some delis
but if you go to it
it's like
it's $41
the sandwich takes
an hour and a half
and in like New York
it's like it's four bucks
and I throw it
in the dumpster
and you gotta get it yourself
and you have to catch it
on the way out
yeah yeah
and we're putting out
40 in the next half hour
because there's tons
of people waiting
and like
it's just a different vibe and so like it doesn't that isn't really the culture Yeah, yeah. And we're putting out 40 in the next half hour because there's tons of people waiting in line.
It's just a different vibe.
Yeah. And so that isn't really the culture.
No, it's not the same.
Also, it's not really a walking culture.
So you're not really like,
I need to grab a coffee and a sandwich for my walk
or I need to grab it outside my office.
Yeah.
That was the big adjustment when I moved to Los Angeles
was the sort of,
you don't do things on the way to other things.
It's not an on-the-go friendly place at all.
Yeah, in New York it would be like,
oh, we'll grab, we're going to Jeff's basement
for a party, super depressing.
Yeah, thank you.
Let's bring him some white wine,
and it's like, okay, well we'll grab white wine
on the walk to the subway,
or the walk from the subway to Jeff.
Here in LA it's like,
do we have white wine at the house?
No, it's like, I'm not trying to find parking twice.
Jeff gets nothing.
I'm jealous of people who did because I love an on-the-go kind of thing.
Yeah, and also people think delis and think exclusively sandwiches, which is the highlight.
But part of the fun of delis, especially in New York City when you get into deli bodega territory,
it's like, all right, it's 2.30 in the morning.
I'm going to get two gatorades an ice
coffee for the morning a sandwich to eat right now something to eat in the morning a bag of chips
two rolls of toilet paper like yeah i'll get nyquil like you can like get like 11 errands done
and just spend a half hour figuring out the atm machine to pay or whatever but then it's
fucking and fucking ruled that's the main thing i miss about yeah east coast yeah
fuck bagels fuck pizza i love it but i don't need to eat that shit all the time the main thing i
miss is like deli culture and it just wouldn't work here because it would need to have such
parking that people can come in and out you know what i mean to be like grove size parking lot for
it to be worth it for people here yeah there's and it makes, there's not a place where that could pop up
and make sense for anyone.
Or if it is,
it's at a place like the Grove
and you're not gonna go get locks
at fucking the Americana.
Right, right, right.
But Riley, you just had locks the other day.
You used your, correct me if I'm wrong,
your laptop as a plate.
No, I will correct you
because no, I did not use,
I did not use my laptop as a plate.
I had locks and then typed and so that's why I said my keyboard is fish because I absolutely get it
right get it right it wasn't get it right Jeff it was the napkin essentially so um it's more oil
my mom um she was just like my mom is an online shopping fiend and um well she was just like my mom is an online shopping fiend
and while she was just online
she just texted me one day
she goes I ordered some stuff
from Zabar's for you
I'm like beautiful
thank you
because I love a bagel
I love some cream cheese
love some lox
and
give me all the above
and then throw even
white fish salad on top
and I'm there for it
beautiful
sliced thin red onion.
No capers for Uncle Capers.
Oh, you don't like capers? I need
those capers. I don't mind capers, but if I'm
building, if someone serves me with capers,
I'm eating it, not saying anything. If I'm making my own,
skipping capers. Skipping capers.
I'm doing veggie cream cheese or scallion cream cheese
with lox, white fish, and then
thin sliced red onion.
I want to have fucking whole wheat and then thin sliced red onion. And that fucking whole wheat everything.
Oh, daddy.
I fucking love bagel.
I'm going to order Zabar's on Gold Belly for myself
to deliver to this house.
It was such a treat.
So we got, it was like,
so she got for me, my roommate, and my boyfriend,
which is so nice.
And so it was like one pack of sesame bagels, one pack of plain, two things of just plain
cream cheese, two things of lox, and then a bag of cinnamon ruggala.
Oh, my God.
It has been the joy of my life.
Did she get you the gift one that came with like the pound of coffee and the dish towel
too?
Not that the dish towel wasn't there, but the coffee was certain.
I know.
It didn't come with it.
Fuck.
I sent it back. I'm going to have to ball her out. dish towel wasn't there but the coffee was certain i know she cheaped the fuck out on this one um but yeah so every morning i have been having scrambled eggs on the side of uh baked cream cheese lox and immediately of course type to
jeff probably usually while i'm eating it and then i i never learn from my mistakes is the thing
so i then either call like i use my phone to call someone call my dad or something and like my phone probably usually while I'm eating it. And then I never learn from my mistakes is the thing.
So I then either call,
like I use my phone to call someone,
call my dad or something.
And like my phone absolutely smells like salmon and so does my computer.
Isn't the definition of insanity
doing the same thing twice
and expecting a different result?
Absolutely.
Yeah, I feel you, Riley.
I'm on like my fifth Bluetooth keyboard
of the quarantine.
Not cheap, not cheap.
Not cheap.
Just keep charging it to High and Mighty Productions
and eventually just run out of my Mack Weldon money.
Jeffrey, any deli experience?
Ever heard of a little deli contestant called Corky and Lenny's?
No.
Why have I heard of that?
I don't think you have.
This name sounds really familiar.
Well, because it's two famous TV and movie character names
of people who were developmentally disabled.
I did not know that.
Corky from Mice Goes On and Lenny from Of Mice and Men.
That's where my brain went, and I don't know why,
and I apologize.
Yeah, no, it's Richard Forkey and Kenny Lenny
but yeah that was our local daily
in Sugar and Falls Ohio
but Gabrus I mean I think I've told you this
before but my mom is from Amityville right
oh hell yeah the horror house baby
yeah thank you not
to bring it up again actually because she was
the exact fucking one that's her house
she but yeah
so that's we would sometimes get corky after the dentist because it was right by my dentist's office
okay brag the locks thick you never want a thick locks you know that they're not doing it right if
it's a thick slice you want a thin slice so you can layer and you want a thin like you said thin
slice of red onion and then you i do capers. I do light on the cream cheese.
But I also might be a fucking idiot.
I do light cream cheese if I'm getting some white fish salad in there, too, because I just don't need that much cream.
Open-faced or do you sandwich?
I do sandwich, but I'm not opposed to open-faced if I want to make it last.
I do open-faced to have double the amount of lox.
Oh, yeah.
For me, lox is the best Sunday morning hangover cure yes i agree hell yeah because it's not as like i don't feel as
bad as if i have like a bacon egg and cheese or like a breakfast burger or something crazy
but i still get that fat i still get that salt i still get that fish it feels more fresh and you
get and that the cheese and bread help too the bagel and cream cheese part. Yes. If you woke up truly hungover and just fucking toss locks in your mouth like a fucking brown bear.
Like a seal.
You would definitely regret that.
It would not make you feel as good as you think.
Oh, I should have done the sturgeon.
I got Dover soul for breakfast.
Let's dive in.
Like a cartoon cat bones out the mouth this is a good division
of uh religion here in that we're talking delis and both of you mentioned bagels and locks as like
your go-to deli options even though i'm from long island arguably a highly jewish uh uh island um
one of the more jewish islands up there with manhattan uh is uh there's still tons of
italian delis where you wouldn't even get bagels or lox at them and it would just be like the
places with the fucking super sot and the gabagool hanging but i like the idea that both delis exist
that i can go get a bagel and cream cheese and lox for one but we used like and this is probably
uh you know goy culture or you know this is the gentile in me
we called those bagel stores like even like even though long island bagel cafe is ostensibly a
deli you can get a hero you can get coffee you can get all that stuff here we still call it a bagel
store or a bagel like i guess we call that maybe long island or bagel town we call them by their
names but they're not delis in our head for some reason.
Yeah, sorry.
I'm re-watching the Bagel Boss video, and this is you.
Yeah, I kicked that fucking guy's ass.
I've been in a bagel store with a dude having a fucking conniption in my life.
That's how New York, that's how Long Island that video is.
I've never seen a dude get fucking murked like that, which is exciting.
But I've seen people have absolute meltdowns in bagel stores yeah you're watching
the video you're like why is this viral this is a thursday yeah i wish somebody would deck that guy
do you not have unfilmed fucking bagel bagel shop parking lot fights there are in life
plenty i just had the ultimate long hiccup throughout an entire 40 minutes
and for the listener i cut it down but it wasn't half an hour yeah yeah sorry dude so i don't know
why i insisted on reading my spec scripts while having the hiccup all right well we should take
a break but we will be right back oh thank god with uh jonathan gabers himself and some reviews
of delicatessens.
Thanks, Mark. Hell fucking yeah, bro.
And we're back.
We're back.
Sorry, I wanted to.
Fuck me.
I want.
You always say it.
No, let's take it again let's take it again
let's take it i don't know i don't want to i don't want to i don't want to anymore i don't
want anymore two one you're an actor action go and we're back god damn it let's just use that
one that one sounded good to me that one is good yeah can we get an alt where you say something
that could be like just cancel yourself oh okay and we're back we're talking eugenics in a fun way
all right uh gabriel would you like to start us off with the first review
maybe one of you guys started off yeah riley uh do you want to go first yes i'll go um so because really the only deli that i have had um like
extensive experience with not extensive but like the one that i know really is canter's
i found a couple i'm only gonna read one but it was amazing that the amount of reviews for canter's
uh it's been around for a while and all the reviews
say something along the lines
of the fact that it's like,
you want a nostalgic experience,
go to Cantor's.
But the only thing
they talk about being nostalgic
is just the attitude
of the people who work there
and that they're kind of curmudgeon-y.
And they're like,
oh, it brings me right back.
To where?
To when?
Here we go. This one's from wally p gabrus you got a last name for wally p uh peanut okay great wally peanut five stars walnut peanut
wally p five stars it's like entering a time warp at canor's short line to get in check in with the brus
coastis adjust to the oddly dank lighting but then be rewarded with some of the best diner food in
socal you can imagine that diners have been repeat customers here for years and that this comfort
food has such special meaning in this city of course i had to ask for the biggest pastrami sandwich available. The Fairfax
with all pastrami.
The spices. The bark.
The fat.
Piled high on rye
with nothing else.
Heaven. Topped off my
growing food baby with the most delicious
strawberry cheesecake served outside
New York. Moist.
Fresh, sweet strawberries.
Served perfectly cold.
I couldn't have asked for a better meal.
Can't wait to return for more pastrami
heaven.
Why am I turned on? I'm sorry.
I know
you didn't ask me to get cancelled this time
around, but I'm sorry, Riley.
I don't know if it was the content,
your performance, the combination of the two
thank you so much
my face is warm
oh my god
we're all so hot
just thinking
the description of like
whenever I think of like
deli food
I'm like all these flavors
all these things done right
but just this description
of like
meat stacked high on bread
and that's it
and that's it
perfect
that is a sandwich
hard to argue with you there.
Two friends are out to brunch at Cantor's.
Dude, last night was like fucking incredible.
I was so drunk.
I just need to get some dry meat on rye right now.
Oh, I'm looking to get some moist cheesecake.
So I need something that'll make my mouth absolutely plastered.
Excuse me, ma'am?
Yeah, hey, welcome to Cantor's.
What can I get for you?
My buddy and I, I mean, we did some crazy shit last night. We were
crazy last night. Are you familiar with
Clamato? With Clamato? Oh, that's
like the fucking clam, sorry,
that's the clam juice thing, or the
clam... No, you can curse. You can curse.
We curse all the time, the two of us. Okay, cool.
I'll say the worst words you'll ever imagine.
Okay, you don't have to do it here.
Imagine a fucking insane word in your head right now.
Imagine an awful worst word.
Okay.
Okay?
My man Boney here will say it.
Boney?
All right, I'm going to kind of guess what kind of words she'd be thinking about.
There's so many kids around here.
It's a Sunday brunch.
We really like it.
We'd actually prefer if we didn't do this right here.
I'm just here to take your order.
Oh, yeah. It wasn't that for the here. I'm just here to take your order. Oh, yeah.
It wasn't that, for the record.
It was...
All right.
You can try again.
My man here, he wants...
If you can take some pastrami, throw it on a paper towel,
fold it up, and squeeze it.
Okay.
Squeeze it so the paper towel gets...
Okay.
Ring it out so the paper towel gets drenched and then put that dry ass meat on toasted, blackened marble rye.
Boney loves it like that.
Then take the sopping wet towel and wring it into a pint glass and that'll be my meal for now.
I might add some more later.
Yeah, yeah.
And for me, let's give you the whole order first.
Yeah, okay.
I can remember it.
I don't even need to write it down. You sure you don't want to write it down whole order first. Yeah, okay. I can remember it. I don't even need to write it down.
You sure you don't want to write it down?
No, it's so specific.
I can remember it.
Now, I totally get that you can write it down,
and you don't need to write it down.
I appreciate that.
I always think that's cool when a server does that.
But do you see how much stress and pressure
it's putting on Boney and I that you're not writing it down?
It's almost selfish, I find,
when servers insist on not writing it down because it's almost selfish, I find, when servers insist on not writing it down
because it's like, okay, cool, you can
memorize it, but clearly I want you to write it
down because I don't want to blow up at you
if you fuck this up. You won't need to blow up at me. And he will blow
up at you. Even if you get it right, he might blow
up at you. I can tell.
I am boiling over.
Do you know what
Clamato is? Yeah, we talked about it.
Oh, yeah, right, right.
Sorry, sorry.
Sorry, we're getting more and more orders in.
I'm being flagged on my multiple tables.
Well, you got one more order before you go in there.
Here's what I need.
Here's what I need, okay?
So you got Boney's order?
You got the pint glasses, all that?
I got the pint glasses, absolutely.
Impossible to forget.
I would like a strawberry cheesecake.
And I'm from New York York so I am very familiar
with moist cakes
so I need you
to give me something
I want something
that'll knock my
fucking socks off
and I'm wearing
three pairs each
because I got
hyperhidrosis of the feet
okay
his extremities
are bulges
I have to wear
three pairs of gloves
like Curly
from Of Mice and Men
these are not
baseball gloves
this is not a baseball
that's great
we're lucky for you
we have like specialty
like New York authentic cheesecake.
So I don't think you have anything to worry about with that.
I need it to be as fucking dry as possible, though.
Here's the thing.
I need you to take the cheesecake and wrap it up in a paper towel and just squeeze.
Do you understand?
Boney, just like what you're doing with Boney's Patrons.
It's the same process, different food.
It's the same exact process, different food.
Right.
That's the easy way to explain it same process different food i see you keep
looking at other tables and the big long line over by the host stand i'm just worried you're
gonna get my order wrong if you know it is impossible for me so you know what i'll triple
check with you guys double check triple check bony you said bony You want your meat squeezed in paper towel.
Then you want blackened, toasted marble rye.
I want it so toasted that it gets smaller in circumference.
So you want dry, small...
I can tell you're getting upset.
I can tell you're getting upset.
I'm actually not.
I'm pretty grounded for a Sunday.
You guys are really heightened.
Listen, I'm just trying to get all these orders in.
I'm fine.
I have your orders.
If you want me to go... Ask us why we moved from New york to la ask us why you moved from new york to la if i ask if i ask you this in answer will you let me go get your food so i can just you know
give you a check and be done i don't before we get to this whole new york versus la debate that
you want to have with us uh margo you read bony's order back but you didn't read back my order you
want m not bony l's order bony m you're
both named bony yeah we have different last names it's bony lindberg and then it's uh i'm bony
mindberg yeah mindberg see that's so in that's so crazy to me i don't know why we're getting into
this it was serendipity it really was no not wild that bony you're both your parents named you guys. Is that a nickname?
No, those are our nicknames.
Those are our nicknames. See, both have the same nickname.
Yes.
You wouldn't judge it based on how his hands and feet look now,
but when we were growing up, he just was an absolute skeleton.
So that's why people named him Boney.
And then I couldn't, it was like every morning I took too many Viagra.
Okay, I got it.
I get why that's you.
You ever pitch the tent in selvedge denim?
Because it is painful.
I know your order.
I haven't been hard in a long time.
I'm going to get a different server to come to your table.
This is wildly inappropriate.
Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Margo, my bad, my bad.
We're ready whenever you are.
Did you ask us why we moved from New York to LA?
I don't want to.
I can't believe I'm doing this, but I feel like you guys won't let me leave.
New York.
Wrap it in a paper towel.
That is the arid desert.
Squeeze it out.
What is this?
Get all the water and moisture out.
You got Los Angeles.
What is with the paper towel?
What's with the squeezing?
I know your order, Boney L, Boney M.
I don't know which point at this point who you are, but I know you want cheesecake squished in a paper towel.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Are our nicknames confusing you?
Should we just go by our real names?
Because we're both named, that's Jeff Lindbergh
and I'm Jeff Mindberg.
Is that easier?
My God.
He's J-E-F-F-E-R-Y and I'm R-E-Y, if that helps.
It doesn't help.
I don't need it.
I'm gonna go get your food.
I'm gonna bring it back.
One of you or both of you can go Dutch.
It's two of you.
It's really easy.
You'll pay.
And then we'll never see each other again.
None of this matters to me.
Yeah, it says me.
I'll make sure of that.
I'll make sure that I won't see either of you two ever again because I have so many
customers to deal with today.
I don't need Jeffrey Lindbergh and Jeffrey Minberg.
Ooh, Jeffrey fucking Hindenburg is going to come through the door any fucking second.
We got to a manager talking to Margo.
Is everything okay over there with table six?
You,
uh,
you've been over there for 40 minutes and you've been pounding the table.
You've twice,
you've wiped all the drinks off in like a fit of ecstasy or agony.
I couldn't tell.
It was a little bit of everything.
Okay.
Yeah.
Listen,
Tina,
I,
do you know who those guys are?
I,
unfortunately I know I'm a little too well.
Let's just say that.
Um, I'm really sorry if I was causing a scene Unfortunately, I know them a little too well. Let's just say that.
I'm really sorry if I was causing a scene,
but these guys were really making it hard on me.
Jeff Lindbergh and Jeff Minbergh,
they're both named Boney.
That's Charles Lindbergh and Charles Minbergh's sons sitting over there.
Who?
Charles Lindbergh, the famous person,
and then Charles Minbergh.
Oh my God.
How could I not remember their last names
oh my god those are those two like really really famous rich men yes charles lindbergh is the
famous person who stole a baby or was a baby and charles mindberg is the person who rescued
yeah was the baby that's what it was the mindberg baby the what it was. The Mindberg baby. The Mindberg baby and the Limberg.
Oh, my God.
I have to go apologize right now.
I'll deal with this.
I'm so sorry about this.
Sure.
Come back to the table.
No, it's like I don't understand why people think it's weird to wear an entire Mets outfit,
the entire jersey.
Yeah, I tell you, you either look like a Mets baseball player or an undercover cop.
I don't know which one.
Excuse me, gentlemen.
Hey, we wanted to say something to you, Margo.
No, no, no, please.
Me first.
Me first.
I am so sorry for, you know, if I had a short fuse earlier.
It's, you know, it's a Sunday.
Things are really crazy.
And, you know, I'm just we're just trying to make it all work here in the city.
And and I had no idea who you guys were. And so I am deeply, deeply sorry
if I made this experience anything less than pleasurable.
And I really hope you two enjoyed your time here
and we'll come back to Cadres again soon.
I mean, I had an amazing time.
I thought we connected on a level
that people haven't connected on before.
I saw it. I was there and i saw bony
you and me i'm talking i'm talking about the three of us i'm i'm saying like i saw the sparks flying
and i felt it internally they're flying all across every direction here every direction and i'm not
even i'm not it's not sexual because as i said earlier i haven't i haven't been able to get hard
in 20 years i remember that i fucking fell asleep next to a microwave at a sleepover party that someone had set for 99 minutes yeah and it
fucking roasted my toasted when you're stolen as a five-year-old oftentimes that'll lead to
some trauma that you have have to work through and never will be able to so he can't sexual
block there well that's what i mean yes sorry you uh. But I do, I eat pussy, I suck dick, and I eat ass.
I should say I do all three of those.
I just can't get myself hard, but I'm a giver.
Heads are turning across the room.
Also.
Got to another table.
I think that's the Minberg tactic.
Did you hear that? No, that's the Minberg tactic. Did you hear that?
No, that's definitely him.
That's definitely him.
That's definitely him.
Oh, my God.
That's definitely him.
He sucks dick.
I knew it.
I knew it.
Remember?
Well, we all knew that he eats pussy and eats ass, but he absolutely sucks dick.
I couldn't believe he sucks dick.
I can't even believe he didn't mention that he can bottom for people, even though he can't
get erect.
He can clearly use his ass as a receptacle for pleasure.
Cut back to the other table.
And of course, Margo, you could also, my asshole is up for grabs.
You know, like anyone can do whatever they want.
Two Clamatos get put down on the table by an observer.
From the table over there.
Margo, are you familiar with this?
Oh my god!
Flip the table!
Get out!
Get out! Margo, you flipped the table
for the third time with the Lindbergh and Minbergh
baby. I'm sorry, but you're fired
from this deli. That's fine!
That's fine! You know what?
I'm done with deli. There's no good delis in LA
anyway. I'm fucking out of here.
Everybody gasps.
I take the paper towels.
All the kids.
I can't believe she cursed.
Are you kidding me?
You overhear just the tail end
of Minberg and Lindbergh's conversation.
I mean, I guess I could technically bend my arm
and someone could fuck that, too.
Ever had an eargasm there's a deli
that's my favorite deli in the world uh it's my favorite restaurant in the world it's called my
hero on jerusalem avenue in merrick which is my hometown deli growing up and i talk about it a lot
on a lot of different podcasts and it's it's gained a little bit of popularity solely because
of me i think oh and i just i mean this is somewhat related I was home once and uh this
was like two years ago it was like we had just we did that head gum live where you did stand up at
uh dynasty oh yeah yeah and so I was talking about that show because something had happened backstage
or after or something I was with my family in Ohio I was like yeah and like well we had like
Gabrus and then we had this other person and this other whoever was on the lineup and then like the
waiter comes around he's like did you say Gabrus and I was like yeah he's like like Gabrus and then we had this other person and this other whoever was on the lineup. And then like the waiter comes around.
He's like, did you say Gabrus?
And I was like, yeah.
He's like, John Gabrus.
I was like, yeah.
And then he was like your biggest fan.
And he talked my ear off for like five minutes about how he like about my hero and like or whatever it is.
And their comedy bang bang appearances.
So that was kind of cool.
Oh, that's awesome.
Along the same lines, I went I ate at the Eiffel tower restaurant in vegas with my mom and one of her friends um and the server came over and was just like uh server came over
was like our uh sommelier wants to talk to you for a second oh my god comes over he goes i just
want to say i'm a huge fan of you i'm from long island i went to blah blah blah and i'm a huge fan of all your podcasts
i want to buy this bottle of wine for you guys i picked it i was like oh this is so nice all this
my mom's there my mom's like you're from long island and the guy's like yeah and then she goes
where'd you go to school or whatever and he mentions where he went to high school my mom's
like my mom knows one of the teachers that he had and it's like that's so and then the rest of the night is going isn't that crazy that
i knew that somalia's teacher and i'm like my wife my wife is with us and she's like joanne
it's crazier that your son was recognized you fucking lump like she just couldn't even get
around to like she could not wrap her head around like anything positive for me it just had to be like it's crazy funny i knew his teacher
fuck you you wouldn't even talk to him if you didn't know that um this is uh three stars of
dick corkey and kenny lenny's uh delicatessen in woodmere, Ohio, I think. This is from Madeline B., three stars, last June.
Gabrus, name, B., Madeline B.
Boo-berry.
Madeline Boo-berry writes, three stars.
This is a tough one.
I love a good deli experience, but I was a bit underwhelmed.
The ambiance, great.
Classic deli-looking staff, and that was a plus.
As for the food, I was the best orderer at the table.
I got a tuna sandwich on an everything bagel with onions and Munster, and it hit the spot.
But my husband and his friend ordered poorly.
They got the lox and egg breakfast on a bagel, and overall, their orders just looked sad.
The eggs looked weak weak kind of dry and
like they'd been out for a while i'd go back but i'd stick to the more deli items including the
sandwich and locks on a bagel as those items all looked awesome and then there's two photos one is
of her sandwich which looks great and then yeah it's a burnt almost burnt like two darkly toasted half
bagel and then dry uh eggs that look like they've had a couple bites taken out of it
but just the idea of being proud of being the best orderer yeah this review is of me
we're at the deli mr jacobson uh thank you so much for taking taking Aaron and I out to breakfast I'm just so excited

too excited too fast.
Okay, well.
I've been ordering here

I know what the fuck
I'm doing.
Easy to order right
when you order
the same thing every time.
You don't branch out.
You don't branch out.
If it ain't broke,
you don't fix it.
There's no point
in reinventing the wheel.
The wheel rolls perfectly.
When was the last time
you left the state? When was the last time you left the state?
When was the last time you traveled?
Well, it was when I fought in Vietnam.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, it's with the Vietnam.
And also, don't say you fought in Vietnam.
You didn't fight in the war.
You got in an argument with dad in Phnom Penh.
All right?
So that's not fighting in Vietnam.
That's right.
I beat your father, my husband's ass in Vietnam.
We were there on vacation and we got in a fist
fight. You know what? That's not the point.
When's the last time you left the state, pal?
I mean, besides to move to New York City

And anyone who does looks the exact same.
I'm sorry.
That's what you say about your father, my partner.
He looks like a little bitch boy.
He looks like a little valley bitch boy.
Holy shit shit that is

Of course you will, you fucking sick pervert freak.
Let's go to your son.
Aaron, do you know what you want?
Do you know what you want this time around?
Yeah, that was weird.
I'll just do the special.
I'll do the special.
Well, your father's been coming in here for fucking 50 years,
and just he's a goddamn psychopath lunatic what do you what did you say

blink 182 and fecal matter in the bathroom oh multiple times that is pretty bad okay it was
one time and then after that it was someone else trying to frame me okay oh you're getting framed
for fecal matter?
Okay, let's move on from fucking psycho nuts over here.
Aaron, what were you saying you wanted?
Let me write that down.
I'll do the special, whatever it is.
I don't even have to know what it is.
I'm an adventurous eater.
I'm going to branch out.
Oh, wow.
I love that. I really love that about you.
Okay, one turkey sandwich.
That's it?
That's the special?
And what about you, Pops? Rolling pops rolling your eyes over you know what i want
trish you fucking dumpy little tart i the use give me the use all right you fucking psychopath
she turns around and rings a bell and what about for you what about for you sweetheart what's your
name over here um uh this is debbie this is gonna be my future daughter-in-law oh hi debbie nice to meet you
good luck good luck with this fucking bag of fucking problems um and what can i get you we
got one special and one uh the one usual one special and what would you like i think i'll
just go with a classic i'll just do uh bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel.
You got it.
Bacon, egg, and cheese.
You okay, Aaron?
I saw your face drop a little bit.
No, it's just the special was a turkey sandwich, so that's not always on the menu.
It's special today, okay, sweetheart?
All right, so this is, all right, we got the turkey sandwich special.
We got a turkey sandwich usual for the dad, and then a bacon, egg, and cheese, no turkey,
for Debbie. Got it. Cut to the table. And then a bacon, egg, and cheese, no turkey, for Debbie.
Got it.
Cut to the table.
Their food is getting put down.
Here you go, you gaggle of fucking freaks.
The usual is a slice of turkey on a fully roasted pig, suckling and all.
Wow, I didn't know they served things like that here.
Yep, I've been eating this every weekday since 1971.
Every weekday?
What do you mean?
What do you mean on weekends?
Exactly right. I hold the turkey, just go full suck.
I go huge minus the turkey.
You do less food on the weekends?
Because I'm saving room for a big dinner.
I don't know how he fucking
goes back to work after eating a whole
fucking suckling pig, but he does.
And I'm a cross-country runner for a living.
Alright, on three we all take a bus.
I'm a professional cross country runner.
So for me to stop down and eat a full roasted pig, suckling pig with a slice of turkey on
its back is a lot.
But again, I guess that's maybe why Trish insists that I'm a fucking psychopath.
All right.
On three, we all take bites of each other's food.
And then we see who is the best orderer.
One, two, three.
You guys were right.
This place is phenomenal.
I have never had such a good bacon, egg, and cheese.
Is everything okay?
There's no way.
This is the worst turkey sandwich I've ever had.
This is the worst usual I've ever had.
Looking down now, I realize, Aaron, I have your plate in front of me.
I can't believe I didn't see this.
I was wondering why this tasted so much like bread.
Here, let's flip it and reverse it like Mr. Meaner Elliott says.
All right, here we go.
All right, let's do it again on three, okay?
One, two, three. It happened again. Yeah, I don't know. We must have switched it twice. We we go. Let's do it again on three. One, two, three.
It happened again.
We must have switched it twice.
Let's just one of us switch meals.
We switch with Debbie.
Wait, no. I wanted
to continue eating mine.
Okay, one, two, three.
Debbie, I had a handful
of your hair in between two slices of white bread
somehow. I apologize.
I just got mayonnaise. This was just sauce two slices of white bread somehow. I apologize.
I just got mayonnaise.
This was just sauce.
This must have been a condiment packet.
Okay, let's switch this.
Yeah, you just ate a condiment.
All right, let's switch it around.
Okay.
Let's close our eyes. Let's face away.
Where did my sandwich go?
I would like to continue eating my sandwich.
Close your eyes, face away, and spin them.
Debbie, this is, hey, we have two hours until your wedding.
Let's get this done.
Let's get this done. Let's get this done?
I'm starving.
I just want to eat my sandwich.
I don't know what's happening.
Don't spill any of the bacon, egg, and cheese on your white dress, lovely.
Make sure you put on a pinball.
I can't believe I wore my dress to this deli.
I can't believe my partner's getting a fucking spray tan like a little bitch right now before we're supposed to go to a wedding.
It's going to be running down his eyes when he starts crying and shit.
It always happens with him.
What?
They turn.
Rich is there.
What did you just say?
I was talking about a different person who has tears make their spray tan run.
Why doesn't Debbie or Aaron tell you how they feel about your spray tan it's
offensive lee brown the dad dives head straight upwards into the vents and you hear him scurry
away loudly he's a little too big to be doing but he's climbing through the vents to get happy
welcome to the family debbie welcome to the family, Debbie. Welcome to the family.
A circle transition goes in right on Debbie's face.
She's like, what?
And pull out to the wedding photo.
And in the wedding photo, Debbie's got visible egg yolk on her wedding dress.
Everyone's got different sandwiches.
It's like a weird, like everyone's shrugging.
I don't know. Half of them are doing the jump in the air for the photo thing the other ones didn't quite make it
half of them are like loading loading up loading up to stuff and then on the pig
instead is just one slice of turkey
fucking insane all right let's do our last segment Hell yeah Yes
Shaky
Whoa
Jesus
It's okay
Gabrus what's been shaking you?
Anything on the dome?
Well two TV programs have been
really getting my goat
but I've been screaming about Ted Lasso on enough
I love Ted Lasso
it's so good
it's so touching it's for non sports heads too
I think sports maybe turned a lot of people off
but I watched five episodes by myself
fell in love with it and then rewatched
the five with my wife and are now watching
it together.
She's obsessed.
Love that show.
But the newest show,
and episodes eight and nine just came out today,
the day we're recording,
is Raised by Wolves on HBO Max.
What is that even about?
It's unadulterated, pure, crystallized Ridley Scott.
It's like everything that,
if you're not a fan of Ridley Scott, run. Do not watch the show. If you're remotely a fan of Ridley Scott. It's like everything that if you are a fan if you're not a fan of Ridley Scott
run. Do not watch the show. If you're
remotely a fan of Ridley Scott it's got
fucking everything. It's got androids
religion, atheism
weird body suits
funny hats
characters flipping sides, androids
who start to feel like humans. This is a Stefan
club. I was just gonna say
this is about funny hats,
atheism.
The hottest club
is raised by wolves
on this show, Max.
It's just a very good,
very interesting show.
It's got funny moments.
It's got,
it's very,
it's very cool
and it looks good as hell
for a fucking TV sci-fi,
especially.
I'm loving it.
I'm gonna watch episode nine
as soon as we're done here.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah. What about you? What shook you guys
all week?
Did you ever see the sketch
that Ted Lasso the series is based off
of the NBC sports thing?
No, I never even watched it.
I don't know why I saw it, but I was on YouTube
back in the day, 2014
and I thought it was the funniest
fucking thing.
I just love dumb shit. An American football coach back in the day, 2014. And I was like, I thought it was the funniest fucking thing.
I mean, I just love dumb shit.
So like an American football coach coaching in England. And it was like a promo for the fact that the Premier League
was now on NBC Sports or something.
It's really weird that when you watch Ted Lasso in the credits,
it's like, based on NBC Sports promo.
Not a selling point for a lot of people.
But they fucking made it. Like you said, there's a lot of heart with it. people. But they fucking made it.
Like you said, there's a lot of heart with it.
Riley, you would absolutely love it.
Riley, I'm telling you, there's not a lot of shows written like it.
It's very funny.
I've never even heard of it.
Sudeikis is the main character, and the premise is everyone wants to hate him,
but he's wildly likable.
And it's just something.
He's so positive that people who all are set up to hate him
and it just,
the premise is like
they can't bring themselves to hate him.
And it's just so pure
and it's got like a new thing that I love
that I've seen better versions of on TV
is male friendship played like adults.
Like I think Ted Lasso is a good example of it
and then the show uh little dicky
uh what's that show called dave dave has got a great like this is how men do actually talk to
each other these days like sort of the masculinity without any toxicity which is not a thing you see
all too often yeah yeah we love to see it um but highly recommend both those programs uh if you're
a sci-fi head definitely watch raised
by wolves but if you're gonna take one of these recos riley ted lasso cool it's like and it's
like whenever i watch a comedy that's that good like that search party or i think you should leave
and i say to myself or pen 15 those are like for the best most the thing i like most about them is
that i could never and i think i'm very good and very funny, and I could never do that.
And that's what I like about those shows.
That's good shit.
It's just like outside of my wheelhouse,
outside of my skill set, just fucking rules.
Oh, yeah.
I love that.
That's a great one.
Riley, what about you?
Aaron and Lauren Paul's Architectural Digest
walkthrough video of their Idaho mansion cabin.
And the reason- Wait, whose mansion cabin? And the reason...
Wait, who's mansion cabin?
Aaron Paul and his wife Lauren Paul.
Yes, Jesse Pinkman.
Okay, yes.
God.
So we are watching...
We're catching up on Westworld season three.
We have two episodes left
and we're going to finish it tonight.
So fucking good.
And Aaron Paul's in season three.
And so that's how we started thinking about
Aaron Paul, obviously.
And so Elizabeth sent this architectural digest
video she's like i've already watched this multiple times and she's like it's 15 minutes
we can skip through it i just want to show you like the house i just want it like it's just so
beautiful you're gonna love it and we watched she gave the phone to daniel my boyfriend he's like
holding it in the middle and like holding the pop socket. We could have easily put it like on the Apple TV
or on a computer or something,
but we thought we were going to skip through it.
And we're just sitting there
looking at this tiny little phone.
We play the whole thing
because I can't take my eyes away.
The house is beautiful.
This couple, Aaron and Lauren Paul,
if ever you listen to this episode of Review Review,
which you won't,
but I want to spend a weekend with you guys i i love your whiskey
lounge i i love the pool table i love the home theater i'm sure he's i'm sure i'm sure he's
turning it into a mezcal lounge though i know so he made and during it he's like i'm gonna make a
little drink for lauren and i that's cool and like the camera kind of like nods and then he makes like an oxaken old-fashioned with his
dos hermanos mezcal but then smokes it too and so immediately i'm thinking okay if you're already
putting mezcal in a drink that's liquid smoke already and then you're gonna smoke that on top
of it seems insane to me but that's fine um so basically it just it led me to now now i'm in
the market looking for a smoker to smoke my drinks um and today i played out a whole fantasy of what
like a weekend like night it's like the dinner party would be so much fun and they have like
all these oh my god they're like and here's like a bunk bedroom usually our nieces and nephews stay
here but sometimes drunk adults too and i just imagine like we have
an awesome night and we have dinner and then we go down to their movie theater play some pool play
some cards drink some whiskey we all get a little too drunk we all do a talent show for each other
on the balcony in the house are we gonna have to bleep any of your as this goes on are we gonna
maybe things a little crazy and and we all you And we all fall asleep in the bunk beds.
They're meant for the kids.
But we're like, who cares?
It's just adults here this weekend.
And we wake up.
It's a little late.
We're a little groggy.
But it's still 11.
So we're like, let's do brunch.
And we make eggs.
We make pancakes.
Some waffles, if you're crazy.
We have French press coffee.
We have a backgammon round robin tournament, obviously.
And then we're like, you know what? It's such a beautiful day a round robin what a nightmare and then they these this couple is like
remind me to never invite you over for a drink it's like you wake up the next morning
we gotta do a what it's like hold on here are the rules to, we're going to play Yahtzee. Of course, it's tournament rules.
So that's all I've been thinking about.
Obviously.
I want to be in that relationship, but I also just want to double date with them.
And I was telling my boyfriend, I'm like, oh man, I want a smoker.
And Daniel was just like, I was thinking about getting you a smoker for Christmas,
but then I figured that you'll probably just buy one for yourself in the
coming week.
So there you go.
So that's what really struck me.
Smokers and,
uh,
Aaron and Lauren Paul's home and life.
So bitch,
still white.
Yeah.
Do you think when they were like negotiating in the real estate process,
they were like,
yeah,
we're going to come in at 4.7 bitch oh yeah yeah breaking bad i love that i love that i love that i love
that no he actually won't accept anything less than five okay no we can do five one we can do
five one what's been shaking me all week long is that i i got a portable projector and it is nectar
uh so basically this what's that why is it nectar
it's nectar because i don't i didn't have any art for this wall and also like again i have to go
outside and around the house to get to the main house which is where our tv is but uh i got this
little mini nebula projector right you plug it in so i guess it's not portable but uh it's it's
