Starting point is 00:03:42 I had a fun time. And I think Julia Gardner is awesome. What's new, boo? Whoa. What's new, boo? Boo. Whoa. Nothing's new.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Life is the same. And that's good. Because life changes. And you can't control it. And then when it's the same, you're fine good, because life changes, and you can't control it. And then when it's the same, you're fine, and you're not better or worse. You love when things are stagnant. I love when things don't move forward needle-wise.
Starting point is 00:04:17 That's awesome. In terms of, yeah. That's so good. Let's just have every day be the same. Let's just have every day not change at all. And so then we won't grow, but we all won't get worse as well. Exactly, because I'm so scared of getting worse.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I'm so scared of it. It's so scary. So it's good for me to stay the same because that means I'm not getting worse. So it's neither good nor bad. It's neither good nor bad. It just is. It's neither here nor there.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It just is. It just is. It's also like the future of getting better is so bleak. Yeah. Yeah. What's new with you? Well, the day of recording is March 24th, Thursday, but the day of release will be the 5th.

Starting point is 00:06:46 You know what else makes me nervous? And a little jittery. Caffeine. Yeah. And how do you get your caffeine? Yeah. Speaking of five lattes, too. Speaking of five lattes, we're talking something a little fancy.
Starting point is 00:07:03 We're getting a little bougie with it. We're getting a little dancey. A little Nancy. Sinatra style. Because they were classy and they went to classy joints and haunts in Vegas, in Tahoe, in Los Angeles, in New York, in Chicago,
Starting point is 00:07:20 in New Orleans, in San Francisco. Starbucks Reserve. The fancy Starbucks. The fancy, fancy. You, yeah, were obsessed with this place. You're obsessed with this place. I'm not. I hate Starbucks. I have been to two Starbucks Reserves.
Starting point is 00:07:43 One that I had gone to a couple times. You and Marty were like really into this like four years ago. Yeah. I mean, not even just to like get drinks there. Just the vibe. The vibe is bad. No, no. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Well, the interior design, no. I think it's really dope. There was one on La Brea that is now closed permanently. All of the ones in LA are closed. Really? Even the one in Las Feliz? Damn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Well, anyway, for those of you who don't know what a Starbucks Reserve is, it's just a really fancy Starbucks where they have off-menu, they have just specialty items. It's like Taco Bell Cantina in a way. Yeah. It's like, yeah. And they have different classes, master classes, just different coffee tastings It's like, yeah. And they have like different like classes, masterclasses, just like different coffee tastings.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Also like social classes. They kind of sort you in. They like check your vibe at the door and then you're like, you're two or three. It's a caste system for sure. Yeah. So you come in
Starting point is 00:08:39 and they're just like, surf. What? Can I get a coffee at least? You can the you can make the coffee oh like a class in a way in a way in a way over there that's the uh that's the bourgeoisie and you're gonna be making them a coffee um the coffee there i didn't i don't think i ever tried any of their like specialty items because it's very expensive. That's all I heard about in these reviews was specialty drinks, specialty drinks.
Starting point is 00:09:10 And then I'm like, people love Starbucks. I used to be a Starbucks fiend. What changed? Well, I was a Starbucks fanatic in college because directly across from the fine arts building was a Starbucks. And so I, I mean, they knew my name,
Starting point is 00:09:29 I knew their names, they knew my order. It was like, it was every school of theater student was in that Starbucks a million times a day, morning to night. Um, so that just kind of was me.
Starting point is 00:09:42 Um, and then coming out here, I think it's just like, I, I make my own coffee now and it saves me so much money. Yeah, my taste in coffee, it's like I used to be big iced coffee girl. And now I had an iced coffee last week for the first time and I couldn't tell you how long. I love a hot coffee. I love a hot, just drip coffee.
Starting point is 00:10:08 That's so interesting. I like a drip coffee, but it's just always so hot in L.A. It's like 80-something, high 80s right now. Yeah. And it's March. Yeah. I gotta get me that red, iced red eye. That ice cold brew nitro or otherwise.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yeah, so what's your, have you been to a Starbucks reserve? I went to the one in Echo Park once. And I went to the Los Feliz one once. So, twice. Nice, good math. I also, I used the bathroom at the Starbucks reserve on La Brea. I'll admit it, I'll admit it. I'll admit it, I'll admit it.
Starting point is 00:10:45 So, three times. Calabrea. I'll admit it. I'll admit it. I'll admit it. I'll admit it. So, three times. But only partook twice. Did you not get the specialty drinks or did you get the specialty item? Do you remember what you ordered? I haven't had a Starbucks specialty drink since probably high school. I just don't like sweet coffee because it's just not my bag yeah um but i will get a nitro cold brew and just think that they use better beans when in reality their beans are garbage they're trash nitro cold brew it's recycled
Starting point is 00:11:19 nonsense in a cup in a bag i got it to go put it in a bag carry the bag to my car stop saying bag the bag is done once i get to the car and then it's coffee in a car don't say no then i'm driving the car with the coffee it just sounds like you you've done a one wild line of just car and that's just you inserting that same take yeah and so i so I get into the car. What are you talking about when I say car? Jeff, do you want to kick us off with our first review? Miriam C. Miriam. Five stars is her game.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Okay, Miriam Cold Brew. Miriam Cold Brew. This is of the Starbucks, a Starbucks reserve in Seattle. Five stars. Not only was their coffee phenomenal, but the atmosphere, the food, and the partners were amazing. What are you talking about? I just like to imagine that there's like a bunch of Western guys in there. Periodically, they keep doing like doing square dance songs so they're clearly
Starting point is 00:12:25 making up on the spot. Yeah, and I'll just get a large cold brew. Swing your partner round and round. Take that cold brew, wash it down with a pumpkin loaf and water on the side. Can't be too dry. Can't be too dry.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Specialty drink. Specialty drink. I don't know what you think until you've had your partner swung round and round with a cold brew for fun. Sorry, what is this? Yeah, sorry, you wanted a cold brew and what else? Yes, I want the cold brew for sure, but what was that? Oh! They look like they're dressed in almost specifically Starbucks corporate uniforms, but with bolo ties and cowboy hats.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Well, I don't know if you knew this, but here at Starbucks, we actually, we are not employees. We are partners. And so we're like, oh, let's take that to the next level. And so it's, this is called Howdy Partner Monday. And so now we're just trying to do things. There's no way it's real. You stuttered. We're just trying a new, sorry. It's way it's real. You stuttered. We're just trying to do things.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Sorry. It's just like I've had a lot of caffeine today. So it's Howdy Partner Monday. And so on the hour, every hour, we're going to swing your partner around and around with the partners. Okay. I guess as long as it's only once an hour. Once an hour. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:41 When I say on the hour, every hour, for us, time moves differently here. So it's kind of like. Because you're all hyper caffeinated. Yeah. So it's kind of like every five minutes. Oh, here they come again. Squeeze that syrup in a cup. And when you're done, drink it up.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I don't know what I was told, but left, right, left. And I'll have a coffee cup. Vanilla latte, more like hot tea for me in a cup, please. It seems like they're making this up on the spot. If you're going to have these guys employed, why not just give them some songs to sing? Well, again, this is a new thing we're trying out, and so we're still working out the kink, so you're kind of just seeing it in development right now. That feels like a boardroom kink that you could work
Starting point is 00:14:30 out, where in the room, five minds can understand that this is a bad idea. Well, funny you should mention boardroom. When we say boardroom, these are the two main partners of the company. What? Why are they here? So it's Howdy Partners Swing the Partners Partners. That's the name of their band? Yes. Howdy Partners Swing the Partners Partners. That's the name of their band?
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yes. Howdy Partners Swing the Partners. Did someone say Howdy Partners Swing your Partners Partners? Yeehaw! I'm a billionaire and I'm doing this. That's insane. Well, here at Starbucks, we're a family. So we're kind of partnered with the partners' partners, especially when we're sweet.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I can't actually say anything about family because we will get sued by Olive Garden, and I have been personally. Oh, that's right. That's right. I'm so sorry, Daryl. I'm so sorry. No, don't you go worry about it. When you get a lawsuit, make sure that you fill the food. You can't be hungry inside a court unless you're a dork.
Starting point is 00:15:26 What does that have to do with anything Starbucks related? He's talking about legal litigation. Fucking class action probably too. When looking for a lawyer, you want to choose right. You can't find a lawyer who's working late at night. You want to find one who gets up early. Early bird gets the
Starting point is 00:15:42 worm. See, now that's great advice. And so as well as talking about coffee, they also will share law advice. I didn't come here for baristry advice. I came here to get a barista to give me a nice cup. Oh, now you got it. Oh. Try one out. Try one out.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Come on. All right. I came here for a nitro And I don't know how to rhyme with nitro This sucks I hate this No come on I tried it once it's kind of impressive that you guys are even stumbling through it Alright no I'll take that one
Starting point is 00:16:15 I'll take that one When you get a nitro Make sure that you're a nice hoe You have lots of sex I can tell Because you're a nice hoe. You have lots of sex, I can tell, because you're a good fellow. That was highly invasive. What's your dream in life? Oh, that's a great question. That's a great question, Daryl.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Doesn't seem relevant at all. I don't know. I guess I'd love to open up a mom and pop bed and breakfast somewhere in the countryside. I'm gonna cut you a check for $100,000. I don't know how far this will stretch, but I like your face, cowboy. Are you kidding
Starting point is 00:16:56 me? Also, I can't check. I can't cash this because you made it out to a different name. That's your cowboy name. Oh, what's his cowboy name? You gotta read it out loud. It says Spurs Dangler. Woo! Woo!
Starting point is 00:17:11 Everyone gets up and starts clapping and dancing. Square dancing. What is this place? I should have just gone to the normal Starbucks. Obviously. Cut to the normal Starbucks. Everyone's working and really bored yeah oh um sorry
Starting point is 00:17:28 I actually didn't want any milk in my cold brew is it okay if you make it again oh yeah um yeah here just give me that um sorry I no it's okay I don't mind here uh and there you go across the reserve is across the street
Starting point is 00:17:44 you can see through the window that they're having kind of a ton of fun. Rings a little bell. Ding, ding, ding. Ding, ding, ding. Okay, Starbucks customers. It's Talkative Tuesday. You know what that means. Everybody starts picking up their stuff and putting it in bags and walking out to avoid
Starting point is 00:18:06 Talkative Tuesday. No, well we can talk. You wouldn't be surprised this happens every week. Not like the Starbucks Reserve over there. No, I was just over there but they were doing line dancing and it was... You were allowed to go in. None of us who work at the regular Starbucks are allowed to be
Starting point is 00:18:24 on the premises. I couldn't imagine why. You at the regular Starbucks are allowed to be on the premises. I couldn't imagine why. You can't imagine why you're not allowed on the premises? What's funny? Oh, nothing. Well, it's just like I don't understand any time any of us try and go over there. You know, sometimes I want to get something nice for myself. Sometimes I want to get a specialty drink. And they just say, no, partner, you're not allowed in here today, partner.
Starting point is 00:18:50 So I have to meander. You know what? Fuck this. I'm going to go over there right now, Lisa. They can't keep us from going in there. He takes off his, like, Starbucks stuff. Bradley, no. No, just watch this.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Watch this. He walks across the street. He, like, tries to open the door. A Starbucks bouncer, like, grabs him and shoves him back out into the street. He falls off the sidewalks and gets run over by a bus. Holy shit! What the fuck? Somebody go help him!
Starting point is 00:19:16 No, you'd be surprised. This actually happens every week. Whenever any of us tries to go over there, that's why I've kind of given up. It's a little bit like Frogger at the end of the day, trying to get back over here. They make it that way. They make it hard for us, which is kind of a scare tactic for us to now never try and go over there. Sorry, did you want the pumpkin loaf?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Why don't you just quit? You could work at a different coffee shop or you could go apply to work there. I could apply to work at the No, they would never accept someone like me. Cut to her in Job Interview. No, we would never accept someone like me. Cut to her in a job interview. No, we would never accept someone like you. Cut back.
Starting point is 00:19:51 So that's happened numerous occasions. People say it's because of my personality. But you know what? I get that. You seem fine. My parents always said that I was very loud and rambunctious. So maybe they just wouldn't. Cut to her with her parents.
Starting point is 00:20:03 You know, you're very loud and rambunctious. Cut they just wouldn't cut her with their parents you know you're very loud and rambunctious cut back you tell very literal stories i just like to cut to the chase because people always say that i'm so i'm just too playful and that i people say you're playful people say i'm too playful so i you know i just have to kind of temper it down sometimes because I could just be pretty reckless. What was the last reckless thing you did? The last reckless thing I did? Oh, gosh. I mean, how much time do you have? You shouldn't have to think about it if you're reckless all the time.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm reckless all the time, so it's harder for me to narrow it down a little bit. I guess when I went to the movie theater, I asked for a small popcorn, and they gave me a medium one, and I didn't tell them that they gave me that because they didn't charge any difference. That's not reckless. You didn't do anything. That story tells a story of you being very passive because you ordered one thing, they
Starting point is 00:20:56 gave you extra, and then you didn't even take action to tell them that they got the wrong thing. So that's not being reckless. That's not risking anything. I was risking honor the honor was on the line for myself and for the workers there so i don't know do you really value honor honor is the most and i've always said that honor is the most important to a different job interview honor is the most important thing in my life it's the it's the thing i value most
Starting point is 00:21:21 yeah we would never hire someone like you. Good fact. Are you sure everyone's saying that exact sentence to you, or are you just kind of melding it all into one? Because that's so specific, and they say it in the same cadence every time. What job was that for? That wasn't Starbucks. That was to work at Le Pen Quotidian down the street.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I don't know why I've been sitting here. I already have my coffee. Thank you so much. I really wish you the best of luck. Do you think... Wait, well, where do you work? I work at Staples Corporate. Do you think...
Starting point is 00:22:00 Are they hiring? No, we actually... We had a major loss. We lost the naming rights to the arena. So we're getting cut back. I'm so sorry about that. And that's going to affect your job? It might.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I mean, if there's ever an opening, there's open submissions, so you can... I don't know. I'm not tapped into that. Cut to her at a staples job interview you're you're really loud and rambunctious i know i get that and reckless i know i'm really sorry you would never hire someone like you damn it i know i know all right should we take a quick break and get back with some more review swing your reviews I know. I know. All right, should we take a quick break and get back with some more review?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Swing your reviews round and round and then put it back. And we're back. In waiting for Guffman. And it's like they're doing this great dance and it's like, grab your fellas by the hand, welcome him to the promised land. And then the gods are like, take your ladies by the arm. Wait, it was like, grab your ladies by the arm, take her out behind the barn.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Oh my God. It's so good. Everybody dance. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. God, I love Waiting for Godfoot. Okay. This is from Bruce K. Bruce Kingstein.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Bruce Kingstein. Four stars. This is for the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in New York, New York. Yeah, for the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in New York. New York. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Literally a Lyft driver last night told me about this place. Are you serious?
Starting point is 00:23:51 The one in Chicago. Well, he was in Chicago and they have one there. And he was like, yeah, it's four stories. Yeah, yeah. First one is coffee bar. Second one's food. Third one is like alcohol bar. And then there's a rooftop.
Starting point is 00:24:01 It's crazy. Okay, so this is four stars from Bruce Kings, what? Kingston. Kingston, not Kingston. Kingston. Like Springsteen. Got it. Fancy, fancy, fancy.
Starting point is 00:24:17 This isn't the usual Starbucks on the corner. This is higher end with different options and better food and more comfortable seating. We arrived just before 9 a.m. and they were still pretty quiet. I ordered my cortado at the register and was pleased that the barista knew what I was talking about. No need to explain, which was awesome. A few minutes later, my name was called and my coffee was ready. Excellent coffee, much smoother than the usual Starbucks roast.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Just the right amount of steamed, not foamed milk, though, in a paper cup, which is understandable, but I'd really have preferred ceramic. I guess people take them, so there's that. We found a really comfy setup downstairs, and we're here for a good hour while we waited for Chelsea Market to start to open up. No one minded us sitting and talking.
Starting point is 00:25:00 No one bothered us. It was comfortable, if maybe a little noisy. Of course they know what a Cortado is. Of course they know what a Cortado is, you ass. He's like, oh my god, I didn't even have to explain it to you. That's amazing. Yeah, I'm like the master roaster here. Oh my god, you really are. Even our most junior uh partners they
Starting point is 00:25:27 um they know what a cortado is yeah especially at the this is the ultimate starbucks by the way god that's so honestly it's so refreshing i feel like it's just like every coffee shop i go to a lot of starbucks like i'm not gonna lie like i'll order a cortado and they'll be like what was that can you say that again and i'll have to explain how to make it and then usually I'll just be like oh just let me get back behind there let me get back and they're like no you can't do that so I'm just like oh what okay okay okay and so I'll walk them through step by step and then they'll give it to me but I am so impressed you guys know what it is like that's amazing no it's not it's really condescending what you're doing when did you first hear about it like I don did you first hear about it? Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:05 First hear about it? I don't know. In high school, I worked at a small coffee shop in Wisconsin. Get out of here. It's a very ubiquitous coffee drink. I've made four of them this morning. Oh, my God. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Good for you. I'm actually, like, really, really, really impressed. Oh, sorry. I actually forgot to add one more thing to my order. I don't know if you're going to know what it is. I'm going to know what it is. No, it's okay if you don't. Don't worry about it. The master roaster. Can I have an iced caramel macchiato? We invented that. The macchiato, the iced caramel macchiato, we invented that. So I know what it is.
Starting point is 00:26:44 You know what it is? And I can make it, yeah. You guys are getting, like, you were already getting a good review, but now I'm going to, like, add pictures so it really bumps it up. What do you do? Can I ask what you do? Like, why are you so condescending? I actually, not to brag,
Starting point is 00:27:01 I'm a personal shopper down at Bergdorf Goodman's. Okay. So you shop for rich people? I do. Not to brag. I'm a personal shopper down at Bergdorf Goodman's. Okay. So you shop for rich people? I do. I do. And so it's just like, I just know kind of like a lot about taste, a lot about style, stuff like that. And just like lifestyle, you know, I'll shop for lifestyle brands as well. And so it's just nice to know that it's like other people know culture in this city.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Other people know drinks that aren't just like, get get me get me a pink drink get me uh you know a refresher it's like what the hell is that like get me a cortado and like thank god you know what it is you guys know what it is isn't a refresher sorry i don't work in the sweet drinks section this is maybe the one thing i wouldn't know, but you were like, everybody knows what a refresher is. That's a drink for children that comes out of a fountain? That's, um... Because that is something people wouldn't know, and you said that that was like a given.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Cortado is pretty ubiquitous as a coffee drink. No, it's like the Starbucks refresher. It's like they'll usually usually do the berry ones. You don't know what that is? No, I mean, I know that it's on our menu, but again, I'm the master roaster. Right. So I don't focus on the sugary drinks. I'm just saying that that's the only thing that would only be at a Starbucks
Starting point is 00:28:18 that most people wouldn't know about. Cortado has, I believe the history of it is it comes from Spain. Oh, you know the history, too. Of course. What do you know about the history? I went to school for coffee, by the way. And honestly, like, I can tell. I can tell.
Starting point is 00:28:38 And listen, man, what's your name? It's Nick. Nick, if ever you want to come by Bergy G's, I can show you around. I can show you around. I can help you shop. Like, whatever you need. Like, you have been so amazing today that, like, I want to return the favor. Because, like, there aren't many people like you and me in this city. There aren't many people like you and me who, like, know what's up, who, like, kind of get it, you know? Okay, so now it feels like we're on in the city. There aren't many people like you and me who know what's up, who kind of get it, you know?
Starting point is 00:29:06 Okay, so now it feels like we're on the same team. Now you feel like you want to be on the same team with me. Was it not that way before? Absolutely not. What were you feeling before? I was feeling honestly hurt. Oh my God. But whatever, I won't interrupt your work at Bergdorf.
Starting point is 00:29:24 I'm so sorry that you felt that way. I would feel bad. You would feel bad for what? For coming to my job? Yeah. You have so many rich people to shop for. Okay. But honestly, not all the rich people I shop for.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Again, I can't stress this enough. No one gets it like you do. I haven't met anyone who gets it. Cut to Bergdorf.orf nick you made it everybody this is nick this is the um cultural genius i was telling you guys about from the starbucks reserve oh my god you're the one who knows about a cortado um yeah you're cortado nick Oh my goodness Yes Cortado Nick There's so many other drinks I don't know how to make

So I really just want to come in. Like, I want to look good. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:30:25 But, you know, I shouldn't have come here. Forget this. You don't have a date? No. Well, when is it? It's June 9th. Sorry, let me just check the old iCal. I'm free.
Starting point is 00:30:40 I'm free. I feel like, I feel like, you know, who better to accompany? And you know what? If I'm overstepping any bounds here, I just feel like... No, you know, who better to accompany? And you know what? If I'm overstepping any bounds here, I just feel like. No, you know what? Fine. Why not?
Starting point is 00:30:49 Why not? Cut to the wedding. Oh, that's my ex. Oh, yikes. What do you mean? Oh, no. It's just like, never mind. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Nothing. No, I mean, I trust your taste. No, it's just, want, I trust your taste. No, it's just, Oh, well I trust, I trust your taste. And it's like,
Starting point is 00:31:08 good thing. Good thing you broke up with her. Cause you know what you're worth, right? I hope so. You hope so. I, I miss her.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Hmm. Hmm. I don't know about that there's so many other incredible people here I'm sure she's very nice but it's just like did you see her dress? oh hey you look great
Starting point is 00:31:35 thank you so much it really means the world that you came and who's your plus one? this is Pietra this is Alexis hi oh hi nice to meet you are you oh no we are not dating This is Pietra. Hi. This is Alexis. Hi. Oh, hi. Nice to meet you. Are you? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:31:48 We are not dating. We are not dating. We just. All right. Well, easy with that. I mean, obviously we could. It's not outside the realm of possibility. We just are kindred spirits.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Oh, that's really wonderful. How did you meet? Okay. Well, I'm sure you know this because you dated him. But Nick here is somewhat of a genius. Oh, a genius. how did you meet um okay well i'm sure you know this because you dated him but nick here is somewhat of a genius oh a genius i mean yeah nick's really smart um but uh no i mean like he is a man of taste he's a man how did you let this one get away oh um you know it just timing didn't work out you know it was well it was more than i mean timing could have worked out. You know, it was... Well, it was more than... I mean, timing could have worked out.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Well, we don't need to get into all this right now. I know. No, we're not. We're not. It's a fun time. It's a good wedding. He knows what a cortado is. Right.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Yeah. Oh. What? No, don't tell me. Don't tell you what? Oh my god, Nick. You were just saying how glad you were to be away from her, but she also knows what a Cortado is. Nick, what is wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:32:54 I did not say that. I said I missed you, but I shouldn't say that either. She has taste, kind of, but then she also thinks that no one knows what a Cortado is. She basically thinks she's better than everyone else, but then she also thinks I'm as good as her, but not good enough to date. So it's a lot of, it's pretty confusing, but I think that we should get back together, and I shouldn't have said that. Nick, it really means a lot that you came here. Is there somewhere where we could talk? I just feel like people are...
Starting point is 00:33:19 No, Nick, this is my wedding. Oh, God, my husband's coming. My husband, my God, it feels so crazy to say that. My husband, my husband's coming over here. Well, yeah, I haven't gotten's coming. My husband. Oh, my God. It feels so crazy to say that. My husband. My husband's coming over here. Well, yeah, I haven't gotten married yet. It's still like the welcome dinner. It's still the... Just let me have...
Starting point is 00:33:31 Nick, you gotta go. There's time. There's time. You know what's... Hey, man. Oh, there he is. Hi, man. Hey, I'm Pietra.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Congratulations. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it's a good day. And, oh, let me see that tie. My God.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Nick, you were telling me that none of these people had any class or taste, but look at them. I never said that. I never said that. I don't like this fucker, but, yeah, everybody else is fine. Nick. Hey, who is this guy? Alexis. You didn't even tell him?
Starting point is 00:34:09 That you invited me? I didn't feel like it was necessary. Rick, this is my ex, Nick. I know this isn't my, I don't have a dog in this race, but that feels weird. Okay, I get it. I get it. Look, you two just need, you need to go. Okay?
Starting point is 00:34:29 This was a bad idea. I knew I shouldn't have invited you. And I think it's just better for all of us if we just leave. No, I'll go. Pietra, you can stay. No, I'll go too. I was taking a look at the buffet over there. And let me tell you, they don't know how to do their pairings.
Starting point is 00:34:47 They have no idea how to do their pairings. What is, what is, what are you? What, I'm a personal shopper at Bergdorf's. Okay, so why are you judging us? You know what a Cortana is, we know what a Cortana is. Do you think like you're part of some. Honeywell, what's that last word you said? Oh, I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Starting point is 00:35:10 See, Alexis? He's not good enough for you. He doesn't know Cortado like us three. Us three. Us three. No. Oh, sweetie. Oh, Rick. It's a really yummy drink. I don't know if you're just drinking refreshers or what, but it's a really kind of sophisticated drink that only people of really, really high status know what it is. I'm going to go talk to my grandmother who's knocking on death's door, and she was able to make it.
Starting point is 00:35:37 So I'm going to talk to her instead of talking about refreshers. Refreshers. Starbucks refreshers. From Peaks. Oh, Starbucks. Peaks Sorry, I've got it mixed up There's like coffee beans everywhere, there's Starbucks everywhere Coffee beans, my god Clink, clink, clink, clink Clink, clink, clink, clink
Starting point is 00:35:54 I just want to say, who, no You don't know us, stop giving us peace No, no, no, no, I'll leave, I'll leave, trust me I do not want to be here any longer than I need to be Honey, let's hear her out. I just want to say congratulations to the happy couple. And I also just wanted to share with everyone that, like, I've been popping her out. I'm a personal shopper at Bergdorf's, you know.
Starting point is 00:36:19 She's at Bergdorf's. I'm at Bergdorf's. I don't really like her either, but. And I've been looking around at everyone's outfits and you guys are poor, unfortunate souls. You need help. And so I've got you. If you want me and Nick, we make a pretty good team. We can help you.
Starting point is 00:36:34 We can help this community. We just want everyone to reach the same level of culture and sophistication. What is your problem? No, honey, let's hear her out. No, what are you talking about? She's shitting on everyone's taste. She's wearing... I mean, I told you to do the strapless.
Starting point is 00:36:53 She's wearing a chevron print from 2008. I don't know what that is. Maybe that's cool. Passion's cyclical. It's not cyclical. She looks like she's going to a middle school dance. I don't know why she has the air of... Pietra.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Yeah? If I had worn a kilt, would that have been cool? That would have been alt. That would have been amazing. See? Alexis? She didn't want me to wear a skirt, which honestly is pretty backwards.
Starting point is 00:37:18 That's really backwards. I'm honestly getting a little bit confused right now. I can't tell who's in and who is out, who's highbrow, who's lowbrow. It's all getting a little bit confusing. Nick, do you have anything to say? Well, what about me? Oh, honey, we don't have to do this in front of all these people. Do what? Compliment me? Oh, sweetheart. No, I'm afraid if I tell you what's what with you that you're just going to turn to dust.
Starting point is 00:37:47 I can handle it. Grandma. Grandma, look at me. Look at me in the eyes, honey. I wouldn't let that frock go near me if it was the only item of clothing left on Earth. You look... I don't even have a proper thing thing to say, but you just look like shit, grandma. You look like shit.
Starting point is 00:38:12 And like, I want to help you, but it's just so sad because it's like, I don't want anyone to look the way you do. So you're literally, you are what inspires me to do my job because I want to make sure that no one, no one looks like how you look. She has a heart attack. Did you kill her? Kill? Listen,
Starting point is 00:38:34 she was good. It was going to happen. You can't justify it. She's gone. I mean, would you rather her be gone knowing what she could have done better? Or would you rather have her be here wearing what looked like a piece of tablecloth? I think you are a bad person.
Starting point is 00:38:55 That's just your taste. That's just your taste, and it's different from mine. And that is the thing I'll say. I'm shitting on anyone who has different tastes than you. Don't be like, oh, it's fine to have different tastes. In the two days I've known you. Throwing out my card. Come to Bergdorf's.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Come to Bergdorf's. They're like flying way too fast and giving people paper cuts. Stop. I'll go. Stop everything you're doing. I'll go. Then go. I want a Cortado for the road!
Starting point is 00:39:27 We don't have that! Wow. Wow, yeah, wow. Then what do you have? A little, just a little drip coffee? Security bringing her out, but she's still talking. Just a little drip coffee? Oh, what, you have silk almond milk on the side?
Starting point is 00:39:43 That's nothing. That's nothing. Through the doors. You wouldn't last two minutes in Manhattan. I'm sorry about that, Alexis. No, it's... We don't need to talk about it. Okay. We never talked about anything. That was part of the issue.
Starting point is 00:40:01 You should go. You should go. You should go. I'm just thinking about it. No, there's no thinking. You need to leave. No, it's not a discussion. You need to leave. But I liked the bridesmaids. What the? You talked
Starting point is 00:40:17 about... No, get out of here. I was trying to make you jealous, security. I was trying to make you jealous. Milk. Espres milk espresso it's easy rick honey i'm i'm so sorry about everything about everything that happened today it's okay you still want to do this thing i know your grandma was gonna walk me down the aisle i don't It's okay. You still want to do this thing?
Starting point is 00:40:49 I know your grandma was going to walk me down the aisle. No, I don't want to. You killed my grandmother, so that's why. I didn't kill your grandmother. You killed her by not stopping it. Well, that's just your opinion. I like the bridesmaids. I need a refresher. You wake up from a nightmare? I need a refresher.
Starting point is 00:41:06 You wake up from a nightmare? Honey, honey, honey, honey. It's okay, it's okay. What was it? I had the worst nightmare. I mean, I'm so excited to marry you. I just had the worst nightmare about how the day's going to go. And there was cortados and refreshers and your grandma died, and it was just horrible.
Starting point is 00:41:29 What? I know, I know. It's crazy. I just... No, that just doesn't even feel like... Because whatever that was, it's not gonna happen. You promise? I mean, it doesn't... They all seem unrelated to one another, so I feel like there's no way that happens. Oh, honey, your mom's calling. You should pick up. She doesn't normally call this late. That's true.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Hello? Grandma's dead. What? What happened? She scalded herself while making a Cortado. The burns were too much. And then she took out one of the Starbucks refresher homemade packets. And she thought that would help.
Starting point is 00:42:11 But she ended up making it worse by sprinkling it on the burns. And it ended up having a toxic reaction. Mom, mom. Slow down. Slow down. What? This all happened. how fast was it? I don't know, that's an insane question.
Starting point is 00:42:28 This was all in the span of maybe ten minutes. And she had been shopping at Bergdorf Goodman's for a look for your wedding. And they have a cafe in there, so that's where it all happened. The Cortado Burn. It was so horrible. Mom, I have to go. I'll call you later. Okay. What happened? What happened? bird it was just it was so horrible um mom i have to go i'll call you later okay what happened what happened uh everything you um everything you just said came true in 10 seconds
Starting point is 00:42:57 so i know i told you i'd never break a promise but um it's out of my hands. My grandmother died via Cortado. We had to save herself via a refresher. This all happened because she was at Bergdorf Goodman. Yeah. And I think we should postpone the wedding. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I'm too powerful. All right, should we do one last review? Yeah. All right, this is a one-star review of the Starbucks Reserve, the old Starbucks Reserve on La Brea. Shaley J. Shaley Goodley. Shaley Goodley with a J?
Starting point is 00:43:39 I thought it was G. Yeah, no, Shaley Jodper. Shaley Jodper, one star. Bunch of lost weirdos. Kept waiting for my coffee forever. Had to go remind them of my order, and they were not busy, so that wasn't the case. Bunch of lost weirdos. Adam, where's the vanilla syrup and the hazelnut syrup?
Starting point is 00:44:04 God, I've been asking myself the same question for what feels like forever, man. I can't find anything. I don't know where anything is. This is driving me crazy, dude. This is some kind of nightmare. I'm not even joking. Do you guys also, yeah. George, do you know where the Guatemalan beans are?
Starting point is 00:44:24 Do you know where the Guatemalan beans are, man you know where the Guatemalan beans are, man? Why would I ask you, man, if not? Sorry, I just feel like I'm losing my mind in here, dude. Like, this is terrifying. I don't know who to be. I don't know what to do back here. There's a line going out the door. They can hear all of this.
Starting point is 00:44:43 I don't know where the drink shit is and it should be here. It should all be here. And what's crazy is that I know that, like I know it should be here, but for the life of me, I don't even know where the espresso maker is. My shift ended an hour ago, but I don't know how to get home.
Starting point is 00:45:01 I don't even know where my fucking apartment is anymore. Dude, do you even remember how we got in here? How long we've even been in here? I saw a diploma in my car. Apparently, I went to Tulane. What even is that? Sorry. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:19 What? Yeah. How long is that going to be just for the house brew? It's going to be a while. I'm so sorry. It's going to be a long time. We can't do brew? It's going to be a while I'm so sorry it's going to be a long time We can't do anything It's going to be a long time You better like post up
Starting point is 00:45:30 It's going to take a while We can't do Like what's your name? Jill And what's your name? Brian No I meant I was talking to Jill both times I forgot it
Starting point is 00:45:42 She said it I got it and I forgot it Oh sorry What's your name? Behind Jill Brian I was talking to Jill both times. I forgot it. She said it, I got it, and I forgot it. Oh, sorry. What's your name? Behind Jill? Brian. Brian. And what's your name, Brian?
Starting point is 00:45:55 Dude, are you guys, should we call a manager or something? I drank bathtub gin that he made over the Super Bowl weekend. And what sucks? And I haven't thought anything since. I am the manager and that's what really really sucks yeah I used a trash can as a hose earlier I tried to wash my car
Starting point is 00:46:16 with a bag like what is that? I recycled a container of pico de gallo but it ended up as a pillow I don't know how it got in my bed it was just suddenly i woke up smelling tomato and garlic i took an order from the sink in the back i thought it was legit a fucking yuppie on his way to it was nine to five i thought a coffee bean was my loofah. Now I smell like a Dominican blend. Okay. I, you know what? Hey, everybody.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I think there's a Dunkin' across the street we might be able to go to. Before everyone leaves, I have to say a couple more things that I did. Somebody ordered, and you know, I did figure it out. Someone ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese from the case. What I handed to them was loose ice, because
Starting point is 00:47:14 in some fucked up way, I thought that this... And the sandwiches are pre-made. All I remember is taking the sandwich out of the case and then handing them ice. No, no, no. Before you go, before you go, before you go. Please. I haven't been able to tell anyone this.
Starting point is 00:47:28 What? Someone asked me the other day, Jill, for the exact same thing you did, like one of just like the house blends just in a cup. And they said, could you put that cup with a sleeve on it? I forgot the cup. So I kind of just turned on the machine and it went straight onto the floor so I handed her a wet sleeve like who does that who forgets to put it in the cup I burned my hand on the milk frother because I thought it was a fucking stick and poke I was like I could do a
Starting point is 00:47:59 tattoo but that also isn't the time of day to get a tattoo. Like it didn't make any sense. I took someone's gold card and put it in the toaster oven. And so then of course smells like plastic. The plastics melted everywhere. And then the other bacon, egg and cheese came out gold. I took a cake pop or what I thought was a cake pop. It actually ended up being the kitchen sink yet again.
Starting point is 00:48:27 And I tried to hand it to somebody, but it was heavy. I remember that. He couldn't even lift it. Like, he couldn't even lift the sink because it was a sink. And he couldn't even give it to anybody because it was a sink. Somebody ordered a Frappuccino. I gave them my driver's license. They took it, too. So I'm, like, sort of fucked,
Starting point is 00:48:43 and I can't remember who I am or where I live. Someone just came in asking for water, like a free water, and I charged them $28.95. And they paid! What the fuck is that? Like I don't know and I feel really bad, but like I ran the card.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I ran it and it accepted it. So they paid us almost $30 for a cup of water. A runner came in asking to use the bathroom and I cut him a check for $1,000. I said, take this and run. And he did. And he did. I checked my banking account. He fucking cashed it.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And that doesn't make any sense. None of this makes any sense. I don't know what I am or where this is. My mom called me last night and that was sort of when I started to feel like I was losing it. And I swear to God she sounded like Lucille Ball.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And we had a ball and then the phone wasn't even on. Someone asked me for a cold brew on ice. I gave them a latte with incredible art of Lucille Ball's face. I've never even done like a latte flower before. I was watching people eat and I was sending them messages from my head to theirs. And they would say the sentences that I said that I sent them.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Most of which was Lucille Ball had it. She had it. I actually did something similar, but what I thought I was sending messages to people, I was just kind of staring at the milk frother that you burned your hand on. And the milk frother started talking to me as it was sputtering.
Starting point is 00:50:19 I could hear it hissing, saying like, why are there so many Lucille Ball projects on streaming services right now? What's in the air? Why do we have a Lucy and Desi doc? And also being the Ricardos, what's the obsession? So that's what it was saying to me.
Starting point is 00:50:35 That doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. It shouldn't be. Because it can't talk. It doesn't make any sense. I took a Madeline cookie from the front by the register. I pitched it. And I don't mean like baseball. I like tried to make a fucking TV series out of it to a dog. No, I remember that. And he picked it up.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Yes. But with the stipulation that it had to be a spinoff of I Love Lucy. Love Lucy. He wanted Lucille Ball, who is gone, by the way, to be in the show. Yeah. No, she's gone. She's gone. Yeah, I know she's gone. She's gone. I have a lot of student loans.
Starting point is 00:51:12 My roommate walked out on the lease, broke the lease, and so now I'm just kind of left with, like, I don't know what to do. I don't know who can move in in this short amount of time. And did you make the gin out of juniper berries? Hmm? The gin, the bathtub gin that we drank did you make the gin out of juniper berries? Hmm? The gin, the bathtub gin that we drink?
Starting point is 00:51:27 Oh, the bathtub gin, juniper berries. Right, so gin has to be made from juniper berries. That's why we're going insane and losing our minds. No, I think it was, you know what? No way. It was from the coffee. I made gin out of coffee. You made alcohol out of coffee?
Starting point is 00:51:43 I don't even know how I did that. And that's the thing. I shouldn't have been able to do it. But it was the smoothest gin you've ever tasted in your life. It tasted amazing. It was incredible. But I'm nothing now. Neither am I.
Starting point is 00:51:55 I'm a hollow vessel. Everyone's still there for some reason. Please don't leave yet. Please don't leave yet. No, guys. Please don't go. Please don't go. If you aren't here, we have nothing.
Starting point is 00:52:06 It's like, it's a Samuel Beckett play if you're not here. I hooked up with someone last night. Who? It was a door. They were a swinging saloon door. But it's the best sex I've ever had. The puck of coffee grinds from the espresso machine Broke things off with me this morning You went steady?
Starting point is 00:52:30 For the better part of a month That was way before we had the gin Right, I'm saying that's why I'm so devastated Because I really thought we had something Yeah, I'm sorry to do this But I feel like it's my duty with all these people to just let you guys know you're a bunch of lost weirdos
Starting point is 00:52:49 and we are going to go to Duncan. Hey, that's not nice. Everyone else is like, hey, yeah, man, come on. Are you kidding me? We're all thinking that. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever. That wasn't nice, but let's go to duncan that wasn't cool though on the way out
Starting point is 00:53:08 i know i'm like rethink your words next time that i feel like we were all thinking that but fine let's all go to duncan everyone's gone are we allowed to leave this store i'm i'm not here so i feel like if my body leaves That's fine too I'm already not here Well someone's gotta lock up No they don't Okay Alright should we do our last segment
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah That's when I loved that part That was so stupid This Should be our Game of Thrones I ordered Crocs No you didn't After our last Two episodes ago
Starting point is 00:53:57 They're coming tomorrow Oh my god And I'm excited What color? Off white Sport mode Not bright white I might have to go sport mode on them.
Starting point is 00:54:07 I thought your what-if-new was going to be that Harry's album is coming out soon, his next album. That announcement, I thought about it. That announcement was huge for me. But I haven't done enough digging yet. Meaning? Meaning I haven't built a hole in the yard for the old albums. Because you can't listen to a new one until you've dug and buried previous ones of the artist. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:54:32 All right. If that's not true, then I've got to rethink a lot. What's been shaking you? Dear listeners, it's hard to think of what's shaking us when we do episodes back to back. And nothing really has happened in between.
