Ann, how are you doing? If we're all pretending. Fuck you. What happened to you? I fell off my bike. That's right. I was just talking so much shit. How did you fall off this butt?

I was talking so much shit on the episode that went out on Patreon. couple days ago or we'll be coming whatever you know what I mean times yeah and I was like what kind of fucking losers fall off their bike I mean I fell off my bike I know well that's right I didn't actually say what kind of losers fall off their bike I was thinking it right how did you fall off I went over I went over what made you like look fall do you think that's the mark of a man that's okay yeah you think you think that's you think that's a battle wound to say hey he's all that happened to you No. What else happened?

I hurt my wrist. Yeah. And now I could do this. What's that? What did you do? Nothing. But it hurts now. So tell us what happened. I can't really... First of all, I'm expecting way more sympathy out of you guys. You're totally fine.

I'm not. You're confident enough to wear a white shirt. What does that mean? What the hell does that mean? If he was bleeding or something to be red. If I was still actively bleeding, then I wouldn't be here. Yeah. I would be at the hot.

How did you fall off the bike? Well, first of all, let me paint the picture. I was enjoying the fuck out of this bike ride. I was like, I actively said to myself out loud, this is beautiful. Uh-huh. Because I went, I went early in the morning and it was still dark out. So I was riding and I'm fucking enjoying it. You got all your reflectors?

I got all my reflectors. My front light is on. Uh-huh. My back reflector is on. I even wore a reflective vest. What? Wait. What?

What? Wait, what? What does it look like? You wore a reflective vest? Yeah. Why is that bad? Like a... Like a construction, like a green vest that has the reflector.

Is that bad? No, no, no. I mean, it's better to be safe. That's what I think. I didn't know. Okay. I wanted to be extra safe. I mean, you're going to blind people now.

I feel like it's going to have a reverse effect. You got lights, reflectors, and now a vest. They're going to be like, whoa. Really? I mean, I can't imagine that's what it would do. I think it would just be like, there's that guy. He's biking. Everyone, be careful.

You know? A reflective vest Do you wear a helmet, obviously Duh? Of course I wear a helmet. What else do you got on? I actually just got my helmet. So I had previously biked without it. Oh. Yeah, thank God I got it.

Okay. Is that cool? My helmet? Like, what does it look like? It's the one that, it's like a motocross helmet. It comes down. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does. No, it doesn't. I know you're joking. It's a regular clip.

It's a regular clip, which is almost worse. Yeah. You know, you know what's funny? We're watching Beck and I are watching New Breaking Bed. And I know that they're, they're pieces of shit. But like, there's the scene where the Nazi, like, white supremacy, cis guys are in the bathroom. And the guy's just like, I saw a guy riding his bike with a helmet the other day and I want to punch him in the face. Like, that's me with my vest.

Do you have, like, um, elbow pads or anything like that? I don't have elbow pads. Can't you tell? Look at my, well, I don't know. Do you know the audio only listeners are probably. like so concerned. This is like a life altering injury. Right. It looks like a rabbit scratched you a little bit. Honestly. No, rabbits would do a lot of damage. Probably. Um, uphill downhill. Oh, just regular. No. It was regular. Well, let me, let me, let me paint the picture. So it's dark out.

And I'm literally like at one point I stopped and I just listened. And I was like, this is so fucking beautiful. Because we're starting, the weather's starting to change a little bit, boys. Yeah, it's starting to get a little cooler. We're getting toward fall, which I'm into it. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not opposed. You're already there. I'm over. Because you fell. I'm going to get up right now, and I'm going to beat the brakes off you.

I actually didn't mind that. That's pretty quick. It was pretty quick. No! No, but then I was riding across the street, and I looked both ways to make sure no one was coming. I was being very safe. I had my reflective vest on. Yeah, you were safe.

Did you have a condom on? What? All safety. And it was like the end of like, Like I was going to like jump up onto the curb. Oof. Like a bunny hop? No, no, no.

Like onto the sidewalk, but at the end of a driveway. Okay. But you know how sometimes at the end of a driveway? It's supposed to be like paved so it meets the road kind of flush. But there had been damage from years of wear and tear. So it was like, it came to like an abrupt end. And it was probably like, I would say like a two and a half. Okay.

Inch curb lip that I went to go like hit it at an angle. but there was like a lot of greenery on this side so I wanted to like hit it and then quickly turn so that I didn't go into the trees Yeah What's so funny? You're real giggly today We're getting to it

We're good, we're good And so I like hit it And I like turned my thing real quick But I guess I wasn't fully up So I like turned off the curb And it like went flush with the curve And you just immediately And I just I tried to like correct it

So I turned again And then it just over I went Did the back come up? The back came up. I went over. Right. I landed on, I like caught myself, but like, as you could tell from this grave injury. What sounded you made?

So here's the part. So I told this to Becca. And her first thing was like, you were wearing a vest, which I guess is a topic here. I don't know if I made a sound. Okay. But I can show you on the app where I fell because there's just like a squiggle. market. Did you like walk it off? I walked around and like, fucking bitch. So I was very angry at myself. Did anyone see you?

No, I don't think so. So I stood up and I heard like a door, a door, a car door door shut. You know that sound. Yeah, yeah. You know that sound. And I like looked around to see if anyone was going to come and like check in because they saw me. Right. Nobody. Yeah. Which is that worse? If I fell and no one saw. If I fall and no one sees, I'm chilling. Really? Yeah. Are you going to, like, not tell anyone? Are you going to tell people? No, I'll tell people. But also, I, if I fall, the last thing I want is for someone to come over and, like, check on me. Like, that, I'm like, oh, God. This is more embarrassing. Unless I, like, got hurt. I got to be honest. As someone that recently fell and no one saw, I was a little disappointed in everyone else.

You wanted them to come outside? I just wanted some concern. You wanted in droves people to just come outside. Hey, I heard the commotion. No, no, no, not droves, one person. Okay. And they didn't even need to come over. Just like if someone got out of their car, you're good, you're all right, good? And then I would just give the, yeah, and that would have been it.

Right. But it wasn't, it didn't happen, and I was a little disappointed. Yeah. I felt personally like they should have cared more about me falling, the people that didn't see me. Someone heard you fall and just got right into their car. They're like, ah, that crossing guard fell down, I guess.

I was worried, though, that I made a sound, and I'm glad that I'll never know for sure if I did, because I would have, I don't think Becca would have ever been Yeah, it would have been like, You know. How far into your ride was that? Probably like 10 minutes into my ride. Oh, early.

Yeah. Did you finish her out? So I was riding to the gym. Okay. So I had to complete my ride. I was very upset, though. And then my gym workout just wasn't the same. I was just so angry the whole time.

You're just picking rocks out of your hand? Well, no, it was there. I had to pick some rocks out of here. Mm. You know? And then in order to like punish myself, I used hand sanitizer on it. In order to punish myself?

What's that about? You know. What are you worried about infection? Duh. Hydrogen peroxide. Yeah, I didn't have any at the gym. I don't know. They don't have like a dispenser for hydrogen peroxide.

I don't know that. Would hand sanitizer help that? I imagine. It kills bacteria and germs, doesn't it? Is it good to put hand sanitizer on a cut? Doesn't that hurt? It did. That's why I said in order to punish.

myself. Oh. It didn't feel great. Do you like pain? No. Obviously, I'm joking. I didn't punish myself. I did put hand sanitizer on that.

No, I don't buy that. I think that you are like, no, no, I'm going to make it hurt. But you've never been like angry at yourself that you're just like, you fucking deserve to stub your toe, idiot. No, not how much.

Not once, really? I hate stubbing my toe. As do I, but like. I'd rather stub five toes than hit my shin, though. Hitting my shin is the worst pain. I can't even remember the last time I hit my shin. What does that even call? Like stub your shin or something?

Bash your shin. Yeah, something like that. But like, some of my toe is not great. But. And yesterday I like cut my whole fucking arm. Really? Shutting the lights off right here. What the fuck?

How? There's a zip tie that someone cut and it was really sharp and I went to go reach to press the button and it just cut open my arm. Yo, that's legitimately danger. That's a nasty one, dude. I mean, that looks like it. I need some hand sanitizer. Did you? No.

Oh, well. You should have. No. You should be like, you fucking idiot. You deserve this now. No. I mean, honestly, if I'm going to get cut, I'd rather it be like a bigger scab because then I can pick it.

No. You don't pick your scabs? No, we've discussed this. I don't. It's gross. I live to pick scabs. I will tell you the best, like, post-injury thing to do is when you get a bloody nose and then you, like, pick out all the dried blood from your nose.

Oh, I fucking love that. That's pretty sick. Sometimes you get lucky and you pick a, like, a flake and, like, a blood clot comes with it. and you're like, ew, I got all that out of it. But they could breathe really well. I just like when it's like,

it's like flaked around and I can like peel it off like it's like a paint chip. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? I do, I do. I know.

It's so good. Or if you like go like this and it like falls out. I don't do that one. Oh, try it. Next time you get a bloody nose. Let it dry and try that.

I don't really get bloody noses anymore. And like I used to get scabs a lot because I would like fuck up my knees and like fall down when you're younger. And then I would get like big scabs on my legs. And I'd be like, this is amazing. I should wait a few days, and all of a sudden, I just start picking it, and it hurts a lot.

I was worried that my bike was going to be broken. And like, the bike seems fine, but, like, the whole way, I was just like, this doesn't ride the same. You know what I mean? You're worried about the machinery. Yeah, I mean, it did break my light. They're pretty built for falling. I mean, they're, like, metal.

The thing that's tough, though, was I fell on the sot. Like, as I went over and, like, down like that, the side that has, like, the gear. the gear shift. Not the gear shift. What am I talking about? Like the... You know, like, it has like...

The chain? It has the chain. It has the chain, but it has like that extra part on it that like for like when you shift gears. Oh, the one that... Yeah, they're like a bunch of different ones that are small.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like, I looked at that and there was a little scratch on it, but it looked fine, but I was just so like, I was like, ew, who... Did I ever tell you about the time? I was on Keith's pegs

and we were going down a hill and I leaned street, he leaned sidewalk, and we went right into a pole and he launched me. Like I was, I launched, dude, and I hit, like,

the middle of the street. If there was a car, it's hitting me, like, for sure. I one time went down, we called it Dead Man's Hill on 48th. 49th, 9th.

49th. And my brother fell in front of me, and I accidentally ran over him. Yeah, dude. How did you not fall? I don't know, because I ran over his neck. I'm serious.

I was, how did his head not pop off? I don't know. He got a strong neck. I guess. So we're also like 12 years old. So like I weighed maybe like 70 pounds. Yeah.

It's a hill and Astoria that was like they had paved it and it was like straight down basically. I remember one time I was like, I'm going to go down on my rollerblades. As soon as I started to pick up speed, I got so scared and I veered off to the side and I just drove into the front of a car. Did your rollerblades have like the metal brake stop on the back? Yo, that's crazy. I know. I think I was like, that was. that was me

that was not the spirit of me in there because I was like yeah I'm good I'm gonna go down this hill and I started going I was like way too fast and I just veered off to a parked car and like hit the headlight I as there was nothing cooler as a kid than a good steep hill

and now honestly not much scares me more you know Keith used to go down our block and he's done it on dead man's hill on the peg standing straight up not touching the handlebars by the way

the street leads into like a fucking two-way avenue. And this was before those avenues had traffic lights because now they do. And I remember specifically the one at the end of your street didn't have one. No. And people were whipping down there.

They were going like 50-60. That shit is fucking dangerous. Keith really was like the daredevil evil-conneval of our neighborhood. One time Keith when we were younger was like, come down, because we had skateboards. And he's like, let's ride our skateboards down the alleyway. And our alleyway, we lived like, at the bottom of a hill.

So I started going, and I was, like, going down on my butt, and we were kind of, like, racing and fighting. And Keith was, like, a lot stronger than me and just, like, shoved me off this thing. And I hit the floor and just, like, completely fucked up my hands and my arms or whatever. And I was like, oh, go get mom! And he was just standing above me.

He's like, I'm not going to go. He's like, I'm not going to do that. Just like, no. He's like, you're going to be fine. Like, just figured out. I was like, go get, mom. And I remember your alleyway It was like

It's not paved But it was like that like It's like gravelish Like it was like larger rocks The top was paved And then it wasn't And then it did get paved again Like it was like a weird patch

In the middle where it was just completely fucked There was also a random vice grip Do you remember that? A vice grip Yeah there was Like the tool Like the yes It was but it was built into

the side of some person's driveway. Uh, uh, at the top. It was like kind of in the middle and I would take rocks and I would put them in the vice grip and I would just turn it and then it would explode. Really? Yeah. I don't remember that. Yeah, dude. So I wonder if it's still there.

I'm shocked that you didn't obviously put like your nuts in there or something. Uh, wouldn't put my nuts in there. I mean, I put my finger in there and be like, oh, but then stuff. Oh, now who likes pain? Well, I didn't, I didn't hurt myself. I just like, imagine. Just like a little pressure. Just like, this is.

I could hurt myself. No, it was such a thing back then to, like, if you got hurt, to not, like, don't tell anyone. Because, like, I imagine in that situation, like, Keith was saying, like, you'll be all right. But also, somehow it would have been his fault. It would have been someone, we would have both gone in trouble for something. It's like the kid that isn't hurt is the one that is responsible for the one that is hurt. Did I ever tell you about the time where me, Thomas and Keith had a pillow fight? and Tom swung a pillow at Keith

like high so he bent over like this and I came over the top and went bang and hit him over the head and the bridge of his nose hit the edge of the radiator and he had immediately a big bump like this and we all just stopped and looked at each other and we're like what is our story? Yeah.

Because we cannot tell mom because she's going to she's going to fuck us up and she's going to murder us. Yeah, she's going to. They're going to pull us into a room and interrogate us. And we came up with a story that, like, we were playing hockey in the backyard and the puck jumped up. Well, it was so funny because, like, you, like, when you're doing that stuff, because my brothers and I wrestled a lot. Like, we used to, like, have full-on, like, wrestling matches.

Like, one person was, like, Jim Ross and shit like that. But then at the end of anyone, like, if someone got hurt, it was just like the powwow of just being like, okay. So this is how this is how this. How do we do this so that mom doesn't yell at us? My brother, the way I lost my first tooth was my brother hit me over the head. head with a steel chair like a legit steel chair in the mouth no so he like hit me over the head oh and you bit and i i did like yeah i did like one of those and it knocked my front tooth like super super super super loose like to the point like you remember having loose teeth where you would just like be like

i just want to see how far i could push this thing i yeah and also i would go like just f f f and it would like you were fucking like daffy duck or something i would do that with it yo yeah having a loose tooth is like, it's a core memory. It was a core memory. Did you ever do any cool things to take your teeth out? Well, that one in particular. When you're younger and your tooth's like loose, did you ever do like, you tie the string and you drive away?

No, no, no, no, no. You slam the door? I think I did the door once, but I can't really, really remember if it was me or if it was one of my brothers. I think I was too afraid of the door. The door one seems like such an easy one to do. But like, honestly, also like the getting it around the tooth and tying is just as bad as the slamming of the door, if not worse.

Yeah, who's tying this thing? How? Like, and also, what are you using? Because, like, what, we did, what were you going to use floss? That shit would break easily or rope. I think there was way more string around in the 90s, I think. It wasn't a very string, a lot of yarn, ton of yarn back then. I used to love yarn. Garner's a good. My, my sister did the slam door thing. I don't remember myself. We tried to do an RC car with my little brother, but, but did the,

tying process was like it was fun but then he started to get scared and he started to cry so we stopped oh man the worst is like when you try to do one of those things and they don't work yeah well I remember I like whenever I had a loose tooth I would always like push it out as far as it could go and then pull it in as far as I could go and then

with that one in particular my brother hit me over the head and then I had told my mom like oh it's super loose and then she was like she like threw me a bagel or something like that she was like just take a bite and I took a bite and lo and behold, it came right out. Wow. Bro, teeth are crazy.

Teeth are gross. Teeth are fucking weird. I don't like teeth. I don't hate them, but the more I think about them, the more creeped out I get by them. Like when you're young and I remember when I had my, I remember, I don't know if it was my first, but I remember being young and having a loose tooth. And then when it came out, I was so scared. Because I'm like, oh my God, there's a hole in my mouth and I'm bleeding and this tooth is in my hand.

Well, bro, they, like, kids, if you're, listening take it easy they bleed a lot dude they don't like bleed a little they it's not like a hole bro it's a hole and like there's like shit attached to the tooth uh teeth man i don't like teeth you guys get your wisdom teeth bold no i never got my bitches you could see them if you want to come look at my mouth i don't want to smell it you know that's one of my big pet peeves smell what my mouth you probably do have like a tea like a deep tea in you, you know what I mean? Like when you drink tea and it's like kind of stays on your tongue. Really? I mean, I've gotten better with scrubbing my tongue ever, ever since I pulled it out on

the show and someone was just like, what the hell happened to his tongue? I think it was you. You were like, what happened to your tongue? Well, your tongue was like an orange. I was like, do you anything orange? You're like, no. I was like, well, I've gotten better with scrubbing it. Like, I can't, I can't do that. I have like a scraper now. I have a scraper and I like the scrubbing it with the bristles because it just feels like it's doing a better job than I, if I, if I, if I, place my toothbrush on my tongue, I immediately start gagging. I'm telling you, it has to be very low. Do the thumb trick.

If you hold your thumb, I don't know why, but like it tricks your brain into thinking that you're not going to gag. I do not know. And maybe there's a science behind it. Squeeze your thumb and shove your fingers in the mouth. He's done it. We've done this. I know, but you didn't squeeze your thumb last time.

He did. I don't need this at all. Yeah, yeah, he's right. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Jesus. I'll stop. Also, you didn't squeeze your thumb. I know.

That was to show. That was the control. And I got to about like right here. Bro, good for you, by the way. Yeah. I guess. Lucky guy. So like I'll use the middle finger for this one.

Watch this. Thumb. Squeeze. That's outrageous. It's outrageous. It's just, it's just crazy. I don't, I think I would be,

I'm not saying like, you could do it off camera. I don't have a, like I have a finger in my mouth thing. Like I don't like my own fingers. How are you friends with me? I don't want to specify my own fingers. I mean,

Hey man. I'm not knocking it. My own fingers in my mouth. Anyone else's fingers. However. Not anyway. First of all. I mean, not anyone else.

Do your thing, brother. Yeah, that's fine. We're not judging. No, no one's judging here. No one's judging here. Oh, I don't give it. Visit BetMGM Casino and check out the newest exclusive. The Price is Right Fortune Pick.

BetMGEM operates pursuant to an operating agreement with Eye Gaming, Ontario. Fuck? I just thought it was funny. Well, we knew there were kids in college that would always do like, like, stick in their finger in other kids' mouths and stuff like that. Yeah, bro, you. You. Not me.

Not me. I have done it, but it was, there was someone who, I mean, do we just like sit here and, like, say who it is? Oh, it was Pete. Yeah. You said it. Yeah. I thought it was you, but maybe he would do it to you. He would do it to me.

You guys would figure each other's mouths, actually. Take it the fuck easy, okay? Like, they're taking it correctly. Every now and then, like, just to get him back and be like, fuck you, you know? Yeah, he was a big on that. I just said it like Mario for some reason. He was a big on that. He was a big on that.

He was a big on that. But he would get drunk and just start like, ugh. It would just be like, go over here. I hate that. Fingers in the mouth. Fingers in the mouth is crazy because it is, as Dr. Mike has taught us, it's like the dirtiest part of the body. Dirtier than he has your phone. I imagine

I don't like getting my ear fingered Why? By who and why? Anyone you never had someone Wet Willys? Like not, yeah, that or like just stick her finger in your Because wet willies are bad Especially your fucking moist ass ears

I know my ears are bad I don't like any of that shit Like when someone like Would give you a Nuggy or just like tussle your hair I'm like get the fuck off me Yo Nugies Nugies hurt dude Yeah I had a cousin that would be so big on that

Or you remember from Lyer Lire like the Claw He used to do that to us I was like, I fucking hate this guy. Which one was the claw? Where he was like, the claw, and he would just, like, kind of tickle you and, like, go like this. Oh, okay.

I do that with the kids now. We also do the taser. What's that? It's like, you take your thumb and you put it like that, and you just kind of like... In the rib? Jab it into the rib.

Yeah, see, I don't like any of that stuff. I mean, like, I play with the kids and stuff like that. No, I know. I'm just saying, like, as a child, when people would do that to me, I'd be like, no. The only one that I remember

is when people would do rug burn on the arm. Do you remember that? They would like take your arm and they would just like ratchet back and forth. Yeah. And like it was like this is what Rugburn feels like.

Well, it was named something different. It was, it was. There was a different name and I shan't. We've since eliminated that. I shan't contribute to what that name was. I hated that to, you know what I desperately hated was like mercy? That game?

Mercy. Just lock your fingers and just like whoever called mercy first. I'm like, I'm not playing. Well, that was not like a battle of strength either. It was like you have to just kind of like let the person just do Destroy my fingers. Yeah, it just like hurt you. I don't like all those kid games. I remember the knuckles Bloody knuckles. That one was crazy because that one was legitimately insane. Yeah, you would like flick a coin and like you You freaking cut up your knuckles. But that's why we were a better generation than your dumbass generation. How about that?

Do you guys have keys? We did have them. What do you like to my home? I'm trying to remember what keys was. I think that had to do with like knuckles. I mean, something with keys. I don't remember. I don't remember. Something with keys? Maybe it was like bloody knuckles, but with keys. Oh, I don't know. Because, you know, no one has coins anymore. How'd you guys hurt? I mean, dude, you had coins back then. We just got rid of coins. Yeah, I know. I'm kidding. Well, I mean, they're still around. We just got rid of some coins. Pennings.

Are pennies going to be, like, valuable one day or something? I think there's like older pennies. I mean, people have like, I saw one. I saw one. it was like the last issued penny from like 2025 or something like that is like for sale for a couple hundred bucks or some shit but then there's like older pennies bro i found a legit old penny like two weeks ago beck and i have this thing since the beginning of our relationship it's been a thing where like if one of us finds a coin on the ground we'll just have the other person like try to guess the year and we were walking at the lake and she looked down and she found a penny and turned it over and it was like legitimately like oxidized like the fucking statue of liberty and we looked at the year 1929 Oh, old penny Old fucking penny

Yeah I couldn't believe it I didn't even know they made pennies back then It's an old bitch of a penny But like it was a legit copper penny Yeah Which they don't make those I've had some pennies like that back in the day

Where there was like the green shit on it Yeah exactly Yeah Do you remember when they like started releasing the quarters For the the state? Yeah I had like the book That you could put all them in

And you could put them in in. I used to always see, I mean, I saw one of those recently. I was like, oh, I haven't seen one of these in a while. Really? North Carolina. And I was like, oh. I mean, I think every quarter now has, what's it called? Like a state on it. Like every issued one after a certain year. That's it? I don't think. I haven't gotten my hands on a quarter in a while. When's the last time you had cash on you? I got cash because I went to a wedding and put it in the card. Oh, okay. But what you're not supposed to do. I'd say, yeah. Why didn't you do a check?

It was a Canadian wedding and like they'd rather USD because it's worth more. So give us a better gift? Is that what they're saying? No, like, I mean, that was the rationale behind why I was giving cash. Gotcha. Usually you're not supposed to do that because if they lose a card, it was a cash. But what was they talking about? Something about the cash. Oh, cash, yeah.

But that was the last time. But before that, I have no idea. And I always feel so bad because of like valet or coach. check things like that i never i can't tip anybody yeah anytime i have cash on me which is very very very very rare i like i never like it's those situations for like i don't have a reason to tip you know what i i mean like i'm not using a valet or anything like that i just like what would be the reason i would have it i think to complicate this transaction i well i i know like a lot of like family things now, like school related

functions are starting to like kind of go away from that. But like we've had some instances where it's just like oh, the book fair, send your kid in with some money so they can blah, blah, blah. But now a lot of them do like a virtual currency. So like you literally like, it'll be

like tied to their student ID number and they'll, you can add in your funds and they could use it how they choose to use it. Like credits? Like commissary? Basically. I mean, this is not like a crazy thing. Like I had this when I was in I had it in high school. Yeah, so same shit.

But like, some of them still do cash. So like, you know, like, remember when we were kids and it was like the holiday show, not the holiday show, the holiday shop and the kids can go get like a dollar trinket for like each member of their family. Yeah, yeah. That you can give them cash. Yeah. But then some of them now do like virtual one. It's crazy.

I feel like we're getting to the point where like children are going to have credit cards with like strict limits on them. and stuff. Do they make children's cards now? Like, they're probably not credit cards. Not credit, but like... Wait, when can a child have credit? I think 18? I don't know.

Like, can you just, like, start an account for a child and build their credit? That's kind of the meta. It's what you're supposed to do. I know it's what you're supposed to do and my parents did not. I didn't even know what credit was until I was, like, 22.

Because 16, you could work. Yeah. A child can start building. credit history at any age. Oh, authorized user, right. So if your parents' credit card, you can be an authorized user, and that helps build your credit. It doesn't necessarily give you a credit score,

but it helps, like, the credit companies. Some still have a minimum age of 13 to 15, which would make sense. I mean, you can't have a baby building credit. A fucking Amex. Can you imagine? It's just like, I've been building your credit super too. Yeah.

Fuck, dude. I didn't know. I legitimately didn't know what it. a credit or credit card was until I was like 22, 23. I had such a stupid view of it. I didn't have a credit card until I think I was like 23 or 24. Probably not 24, but like 23 years old. Probably around the same time.

And my thought process was I'd rather the debit card because I know how much money I have then. Like if I'm spending the money and it goes out, it's like, okay, this number that I'm seeing is the amount of money that I have. Yeah. But I didn't know that like... I couldn't wrap my head... I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I can just spend it and like... Pay for it later. Yeah, like, I was so...

And I remember I was talking about my friend Kate and she was just hysterically laughing at me. Trying to explain it because she was like, how do you not get this, you idiot? Yeah. You have a master's degree at this point. And I still, like, couldn't grasp the idea of a credit card or credit. You were a little older that I thought the story was going to be... 23. He said what I'm saying.

Yeah, dude. I swear to God. I think it's just financially illiterate. I don't want to say this and like, I know this is not the universal experience, but I feel like our group didn't really, like, we were not like sheltered, but like a lot of us didn't start driving until we were later. Credit cards and stuff like that. Like we were just focused on other stuff and like we probably should have ironed out.

I mean, I guess. I don't know. It just really depends on like the circles you kind of grew up in. I don't know that anyone I knew growing up. a credit card. Growing up, no. Yeah. Well, how are you paying for your black coffees after you're incredibly fun and ruckus

sleepovers? $1.50, man. Couch. Two dollar bill. Couch change. I mean, that was the thing is, like, I remember also my dad would, like, at the beginning of the week, he'd give me a $20 bill, and that would last me all week. Dude, I remember that when we were younger, that your dad would just give you money, and I'm

like, what is that like? Yeah. It was, I remember I once lost it. You lost the money? car. He like gave it to me and I put it in my pocket and then I went to leave and I checked and I was like, oh, I don't have it. My dad was like, ha ha ha. Like he thought I was trying to get like another 20 from him. Right. And I was like, dad, I swear to God no. And he was fucking. Because he was like, where's the fucking. Yeah. It was like the car with you the whole time. It's somewhere in here. Yeah. It was probably tied up. You know how like the fucking. They would do those whole things where they tied dollar bills for good luck. Made no sense. I thought about stealing those dollars. I'll tell you that. My wallet was Keith growing. up. Like he had a job and he had money and he just paid for me to do everything, honestly. It's a good brother. He is. He is. I used to, my first job was like an off the books job at where we played baseball. And I would, I just had like a hundred dollars on me for like a week. And I was like,

what the fuck is this? Yeah. And it worked because then I would go and I would buy like my Elmo and Oscar the Grouch Graphic Tees. And it was cool. all the prank stuff they had at Spencer's Gifts. I remember when I first got a part-time job at Elite, they were paying me $400, like, at a time. Because I was there like super part-time. But I remember thinking, like, you know, I hope they at least pay me $200. And then when I got my first paycheck and it was $400, I was like, I'm about to fucking be the richest person I know.

Bro. I, so when I went for my graduate degree, I was an RD. And what came with that was the free tuition, room and board, a meal plan. And then we had a stipend. And it was a $16,000 a year stipend. And I was just like, I don't have to pay for any. In one shot? No, it came in monthly, in like weekly payments. Got it. But I was just like, I was getting $150 or some odd dollars a week or whatever it was. And I was just, Like, Loaded. Yo, I could do whatever I want now. Like, let's go buy Petron. On ice. On ice.

Yeah. Pop bottles all night, baby. Yeah. We could have whatever we like. It's a beautiful. Beautiful time. What? Probably would have went through that fast

if it was Petron every night. Yeah, it would. I couldn't. I was drinking, like, fucking, like, bush light. I also thought Petron was, like, the most expensive thing that you could possibly buy. Me too.

Back in the day when, like, you know, hip hop would just mention alcohol and their sales would just go through the roof. Yeah. You know? Went through a big Surrock phase, too. You did go through a big Surrock phase. Me too.

Yeah, it tasted good. Peach Sorok. Ooh. I think, didn't they say that he became a billionaire off Surrach alone or something like that? Probably. I think it was like a really popular. Bro, it was everywhere. Yeah.

And like, I was never big into like flavored vodka. Yeah. But I remember you guys making like coconut surrock with pineapple juice. And I was just like, yo, hold off. This is kind of not the worst Coacoloso What was it I remember Nouveau

What's that? It was like the pink bottle We had that Crystal Although I never had it They were done with Crystal by the time Like we started like drinking Yeah yeah

But I knew the name I knew everyone knew the name Petrone was big You know That's what all like the hip hop artists Baccarty and shit too Bacardi A lot of rum I guess

Hypnotic But then I found out that it was like, like, it was basically fruit juice with a dash of, like, alcohol in it. And I was like,

look cool, though. What do you think I am? Yeah. Bro, there was one that my buddy will showed me. Oh,

fuck. It was, it, like, it was purple, and it had, like, glitter in it.

Oh, man. I could try. You could try. And, like, it was unbelievable, and it had glitter in it.

Well, it's better than that. Come on. Uh, let's get, Get to some sponsors that we have here first before we move on with this episode. The first one being prize picks. The football season is right around the corner.

Starting back up and prize picks is a good way to make your Sundays with the NFL a little bit more fun. It's very easy to understand. You pick two to six players. You just pick more or less than their prize picks projection. It's a mouthful. But someone like Patrick Mahomes, is he going to have more or less than 200 yards? And you do that with two to six players. and you could win a bunch of money.

And there's a bunch of different sports also. It's not just the NFL. They have everything kind of available there. But it's just more or less, and you build your lineups in that way. And yeah, I've played it a bunch. It's a lot of fun. And they also have like a Stack September.

And there was things I was paying for that I didn't really know I was paying for or there was things that, you know, I don't want to say what it was, but there was like a publication that I was paying like $12 a month for that I'm like, I haven't even seen any of that in a while.

But you just go onto this website and you can search and compare high quality in network doctors. Okay. This is something I've been using for years long before they were even on this show. But you go onto their website. You can plug in your insurance and then what kind of care that you need. So if you need a primary care physician or a dermatologist or whatever, a podiatrist, whatever it is, you put that in. It'll let you know these are the doctors in your area that take your insurance and here's a rating.

They're patient reviewed so you know that if they have a high rating, which I believe is out of five, then you know that people have had a good experience with this doctor. So usually that's the one. And the best part about it is that usually you can get your appointment in anywhere from 24 to 72 hours. The last time I used it for a dermatologist, I went the same day. So there's always a chance. But yeah, your health matters and taking care of yourself shouldn't be complicated. Find and book the right doctors with Zockdoc.

slash submit and Santagato Studios.com. All right. Over to you, baby. Over to you, baby. I have something. Yeah? If you want me to do something. You guys like chips. Mmm. You guys like chips? There's this thing going

What kind of chips? What kind of chips? I'm all about chips. It's just plain like tostitos. Do you consider a cheese doodle to be a chip? It's a great question. It's like a cheese noodle. Yeah. It's its own thing. Yeah.

But does it fall under the umbrella of chips? I wouldn't. No. So what is it? Just a doodle? Yeah, it's a cheese dittles. Doodle. It's got its own thing.

Interesting. So there's this personality test going around. It's which chip are you choosing the first chip to dunk into this salsa, it looks like? Yeah. Don't worry about the hard salsa. Yup. I will say this. 34-year-old Frank,

I'm fucking dipping the fuck out of this chip. I'm scooping the hell out of that shit. What does it have to do with your age? Yeah. If I was like 10-year-old Frank, I'm going in and I'm coming out and I'm just getting the juice of the dip. Oh, weird.

Yeah, I want all the shit that they got on that. I like chunky salsa. I want that salsa. Restaurant-style salsa is ass. This is like water and tomatoes. What about? me doing. It's wet. I don't disagree, but also I like it because when it comes in that little cup, you can just drink it. No. Oh. I think there's only two answers I would accept here.

Um, I think there's... Can you zoom in a little more? I need to see the ridges on these chips. And Hans? I'm gonna, I'm gonna go out on a limb here. Not that it's a crazy limb, but if anyone who picks C is either a mouse or a fucking idiot, like, C is insane. See doesn't even deserve dip on it. It doesn't deserve salsa. I, I, I would potentially not even eat that if it was on. You know what I mean? I think we can, I think we're in agreement on which one we're picking. Can we say it on the count of three?

Are we? I think, can we? Three, two, one. D. Yes. And what was that thing? You're a B guy? A, dude.

A, dude. I'm picking A! A! A! What's doing? What's so bad? Respectful! You invert it and you get that scoop and you have a little fold that holds it all in.

No, no, no. You're absolutely not. Are you outside of your brain and pants? What you want is a curvature to your chip so it holds it for you. And then you bring it to your mouth. A? You're not getting that whole D. D is a half pipe waiting to be filled with salsa.

A is like, is a, is demented. I don't even know what happened to E. Where is E? Is C part of E? Is that like the fucking, you know. I'm taking E over A. No. 100%.

You don't know what the... You don't know what the fuck this mouth can do when it comes to chips. I also, I could two bite it. He's two biting a salsa chip. Bro, it's about... First of all, you have A! I'm backing up a little bit. I mean, I don't mind double dipping, but a salsa chip, that thing is going to turn to...

A good chip is going to turn to dust in your mouth. No, no, no, no. I mean, dude, like a Tostito's chip, they're fucking massive. You have to two bite those. I mean, but that's why, see, you're messing up. That's why, if you're getting a Tostito's corn chip, you get the scoopable. You can't get the big fucking like this thing is like a hang glider No I know but if I do have that like I'm two biting that

We think I'm going to shove that in my mouth I'm a fucking cobra You can use A as a little submarine and the pocket like a like a canoli will be filled in there Yeah but then you get so little dude you get so little You didn't think I was gonna say A right You thought everyone was gonna say A I thought I mean it's not even top three I'm going A I'm going D and then B is a close second

Yeah, you're just picking chips B. That's what we're doing. But B is just a chip. Yeah. There's nothing good about it. I mean, no, there's some bend. There's some curves. She's a little curvy.

When they invented the scoop, that was the peak of innovation. Yeah, I agree. That's up there with the computer. Well, the scoopable, like the one that looks like. Ridges. Ridges. But also, have you seen Frito's scoops? It's like a shovel.

No. Pull up Frito's scoops and just show him. It's, on. Honestly, peak chip design because this thing is literally used to shovel French onion dip into my goddamn mouth. It kind of looks like shell mac and cheese. Hell yeah, dude. Oh, no. That's perfect.

No. What do you mean? No. Fritos are nasty, bro. Come on now. I don't like Fritos are bad. Come on now. Fritos are such a good chip.

No, they aren't. They're so delicious. They're like a D-tier. What? Fritos are ass. So then give me your top chip For like salsa? I mean we know it's a Tostito's like a scoop

A to Tostito scoop What is it? Yeah, what the fuck are we doing now? Hoops. Who is this? Who is this for? Is getting out of control Although you might like that, Joey,

because you like sucking things. I like, yeah, I do. And then barbecue too. I hate, they got a bad rating, buddy. Barbecue as a flavor is so dog shit. That's crazy. So dog shit, dude.

No.

Oh, there's like some chocolatiers and like candy shops that do it. I've never heard of it. Like that? Yeah, basically. I mean, that's a corn chip. I'm thinking potato chips. Ah. Yeah, I'm not into corn chips, I don't think. I mean, you just said you like tostitos.

Oh, never mind. What? Yeah. I don't like chocolate covered pretzels. Oh, I like... That's a hot take. Is it? I just don't like pretzels that are like hard.

Those are the best pretzels? No. Oh, like a super, like those like thick sourdough pretzels. I don't like that. I like them. You never had a box of like pretzel logs and you just suck the salt off? No, those I actually enjoy. I like the pretzel logs, but like the ones that look like pretzels, like the pretzel design,

but they're like thicker and like dark and they're like hard. Yeah. I just had those at the house. They're good, man. I don't like them. I used to love taking the pretzels. and just go and dig into the bottom of the bag and just eating the salt.

Like the rods? The rods I would go down there and I would like pinch it like it's a fish food and I would put it in my mouth. Yeah, it's like sprinkle it like salt A in your mouth. I can't believe you went with A, dude. A's crazy, dude. That is so unbelievably bad.

That's a horrible answer. That's not even like, I think I'll get backed up here. A? I don't think anyone's going to like A. Oh. Do you can get the most like on your dip with that out of all of those. A, you're getting nothing, brother.

You're not thinking about the shoving of it in there. That's the only redeeming quality it has, and it's not even big enough to fit anything. And now you can eat it like this. You don't have to, like, you know? I'm good. I could do that. There's something nice about having to, like, be like a python

and, like, wrap my mouth around this chip. Lucky, man. Good for you. I just think, like, it's like a challenge. Like, I'm better than you food. You know, I will tell you this. I don't know if you feel this way. You know, Maeve loves chips and salsa.

Like for snacks, she'll sit there with chips and salsa. But sometimes, like, a piece of the chip will break off in the salsa. And then I find it when I'm having it. And I'm like, ew, what the fuck is this? Yeah. It's just like, it's like a tar, like, you know, when they find, like, a dinosaur in a tar pit. And it's like, this was a dinosaur once.

This was respectable. Now it's a goddamn wet, disgusting chip. I don't get the reference But I understand the chip You don't know You've never seen or heard of that Like a tar pit You never heard like they found like shit in tar pits

And it's a tar pit A pit of tar Why would that exist Because tar is like a naturally occurring thing Oh like that I thought you meant like I never mind I don't know what I'm thinking

Tar is like a real thing in the world Right right right What's a tar pit It's a pit of tar And what's what's funny That's a good Expoit like that is what it is This is the kind of stuff

That is the kind of stuff that people Come to the show for Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I can't believe. I think I'm going to have some A riders, but... No. We're going to have some D riders. I was going to say, if you have any, we're going to get the D riders for sure.

Yeah, dude. There is no one that is riding for C. Oh, man, a lot of people like tiny chips? How would you guys rank a queso salsa guac? And then I'll throw an onion dip as well. Spinoch? No. Fuck.

Artichoke dip? No. I do love a crab dip? Yeah, those are great Okay Casso, salsa, onion dip What else I say?

Gwok Gwok Onion dip, Casso, Gwok Gwok What? Gwok last. Yeah.

Wait, what'd you say onion dip? What are you, onion dip, Caso, salsa, guac. I think,

I'm not even kidding. I think I'm going the exact opposite of yours. I think I'm going guac, salsa, caseo,

onion dip, and I love each of them in abundance. Oh, I'm not doing that. I think I would go first I would probably say it's really close between salsa and guac. One of those are one, two.

And I'm putting queso last. I like queso. I like it, but like, I'd rather the onion dip. I agree. Koso's like whatever to me. It gets old. Really? Three chips into queso.

I'm like, you've expressed, though, like, you can't have too, too much cheese, though, so I can understand why that would bother you. I just don't think it's an interesting taste. The rest are more interesting. It's interesting when they put a little spice. in there. Yeah, like a spicy queso. Like a spicy queso with like, you know, I've even had some people that put like salsa

on top of queso and like you can kind of mix it together a little bit. Like a layer dip. Fuck that in its little tiny thing. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. She makes crazy layer. Espo's mom makes like a taco layer dip. It's in a pan like this.

And I would, I literally would just put a chip at one end and drive across country. It is so. So good. It's a good dip. You like refried beans? Yeah. Yeah.

I used to have this thing. They're a little farty. But I would have them like wrapped up kind of. It was like these little things where it was like refried beans and then maybe some sour cream and like cheese. And then you just roll them up. He used to crush them. Refried beans, man. I mean, I love beans.

What does that even mean? Like what is it? I think that you have to like recook beans and then mash them. Mashitou. It's just it's just. mashed beans. I think that there's more to it, but I imagine. Because it just, it kind of looks like it's just like a paste.

So wait, you put what at the top? It's the, like a little tortilla or whatever? No, no, no, like your rankings of what you said. Oh, oh. It's so tough because like a really, really good guac, I think is probably better than a salsa, but salsa is more consistent, like a chunky salsa. So I may go salsa first, then go. guac, then onion dip, then queso.

Do you like your guac chunky or just creamy? Like chunks of... Avocado. No, I like it to be... You like it pretty clean? But I like it when it has, like, you know, a little shit on it and like some red dust and shit. Oh, like they, like, sprinkle a little, like, chili powder on it just for, like, he-he's ha-has. Yeah, and I like when it's in the fucking thing.

You know what's coming up and, like, And, like, they're such a different... First of all, I've never had a store-bought guac and been like, mm-hmm, they all suck. But, like, you know what's on the rise for me? Hummus, dude. Hummus is great. Dude.

But, like, a... Because, like, store-bought hummus is garbage. I also think they're good. Like, a red pepper... But, like, once you... Once you get a taste of the nectar from the poisonous tree, you're just like... Chick-bees. I mean, like, once you have, like, a proper, like, super, like, creamy, thin hummus,

then you're like, whoa, now we're talking. Yeah, I mean, obviously things made fresh are way better. Don't like hummus. You don't like hummus? That's not a surprise. No. What about tabuli? Do you like tabuli?

Yeah. All that. Like, if I go to a restaurant and they have all that stuff or they offer, like, you know, we have pita and all these dips. I'm like, bring all the fucking dips. Hell yeah, brother. Get all the fucking pita. Hell yeah. Oh, I'll do you one better.

Don't know what that is. What? It's just like parsley and sometimes there's eggplant and tomato and garlic a little sometimes. It's good to dip your chip in hummus and then put this on top of it. Baba ganoosh. Yo, the ganouh goes crazy. Do you like Baba ganoos? No shot.

You can't keep up. Have you been to like an Indian restaurant? This is more like Mediterranean No, it is But I'm just like I'm just like You haven't been there I don't think so

Or like a Lebanese Or like a Thai Yeah yeah yeah yeah You know what I'm saying You don't strike me as adventurous With your food I'm adventurous Have you gone to a restaurant

That's like they serve And then a country that is Not this one Anytime I go anywhere with you guys That's it That's it pretty much yeah Okay Because you guys big on that

I mean Big on, big on, I'm trying to read the menu and I have the point. Yes. Yeah. You guys are big on that. That's fair. That's fair. I went to one the other day that was, it was, it, they made it very specific that it's not fusion, but it's like Peruvian food or Japanese food cooked the Peruvian way or vice versa.

Beat the brakes off me. Yeah. Absolutely. Just tore me to shreds. I love that. You don't strike me as like you would go to like, put it like, like, put it like, like, like, like this if there was like a new like Lebanese restaurant or or like something like that you would be like I'm just going to go to rainforest cafe if that's an option I'll go you're going to RC

I'm not going by myself I like I like adventurous with you guys do you know what happened to him at dinner yesterday no what we're having a dinner we all ordered food like let's say Greg started and then it came around to me, I pointed at the item I wanted, and the waitress just, like, substituted his full meal with what I said. No, that's not what happened, dude. I thought that is what I said. No, no, no, it's not. Oh, this is the topic of contention? No, it's not. I forgot this actually happened. They just forgot my food. They forgot to give me my food. I ordered a pasta dish, but you, like, said you wanted it, and then you wanted to switch it. So she's like, oh, that instead of the cavitelli? And you're like, yeah. So then I think she crossed out, that's because that's what I

ordered and then she got him his. Oh. And then he's just like, I always get blamed for everything. I'm like, no one's saying anything. I had no reaction to that. No, I'm saying she said like, well, you said not to do the Cavitelle, whatever it was. She blamed me. And I was like, I don't know like why me ordering my food made made his food not come. You know what I mean? She like said like, oh, it's his fault. She was explaining why she was confused, I'm assuming. She was just like, oh, you said this and That's why I thought that... Oh, it was fine.

So, like... She blamed you. The server. The server was just like, I didn't bring out your food because of this fucking idiot right here. It's what it felt like. Didn't you say something about that first?

No, I just said I wanted this, and I pointed to what I wanted. No, I mean, like, when she showed up and, like, we were like, oh, you forgot one more. I love how he says, like, yeah, I get adventures with food and I eat different places as if you guys...

It sounds like you just went to an Italian restaurant. We went to a bar, yeah. Oh, yeah, no, I'm not talking about. talking about that specific. It made me think of that. And then we all ate and we were all done on our meals and then his meal came. Do you get over? Are you one of those people? Are you one of those people that pre looks at the menu or do you show up like, I'm raw dog in the shit? Hold on. Before we get to that, because I like that discussion too. We have, we're just

I don't know, their finals or, you know, they got something going on with their family or whatever. you can send them over something nice. I actually did that for Nicole one time when she wasn't feeling well. I sent her like some Gatorade and, you know, some other stuff like Advil or whatever else from a convenience store. And it's like, hey, look, I'm thinking of you. You could send it whatever. So you could do that for your partner or you can do it for your friends or whatever.

There's a lot of different ways you can use this stuff. But also at the end of the day, you could also use it to get, you know, food or whatever the things you want. You could also, like around Mother's Day, I sent my mom, mother's flowers with, I sent my mom flowers on Mother's Day. So that's another thing. So DoorDash makes it easy for showing up for the people you love. So, yeah, go check out DoorDash. Go download it. Go download it and use it.

It's very convenient. Enjoy that. But yeah. So the question that I was posing was to Ant. Because I think I know your answer. Do you, when you know you're going to arrive? restaurant, take a look at the menu beforehand in order to get a sense of what you might get, or do you just get in there and then figure it out? I don't think it's, I do look if it's days away.

Like, it's like, oh, we're going somewhere on Saturday. Like, I'll look. It's not really, I don't know why I do it. It's not really to, like, be prepared or get it, get it, get it. Oh, I missed it. It's not really to be prepared or anything. It's more just, I kind of just like looking. Is that a weird thing? Do you pick out what you're going to eat? Or you just check it out. I'll check it out sometimes, but I'm not going to pick what I'm getting. Yeah, because it depends on the day. I don't know what future Antonio is going to want. I really just, I wait until I get there.

Yeah. Unless, like, if I, like, look up the place on, like, Google Maps to see, like, the drive or blah, blah, blah, blah. And they have pictures. I'll look at some of the pictures. I'll just be like, whoa, whoa. But, like, I'm not going to, like, read the menu and to be like, let's do this, this, this, this and this. No, I'll look just to get a general idea. If someone recommends the place, like, oh, like, we're going to go to this place.

I'm like, all right, cool, what kind of food is it? Like, if I ask that, and it's like, oh, it's Mexican food, I'll like, all right, cool. Like, I won't really look. But if it's kind of like some funky shit, then I'll look and be like, okay, what are they got? And then check it out. But I won't make a decision. I'll make a decision there. I don't know if I want to look because I feel like I'll already judge the time I'm going to have now what I'm thinking about it.

Because every time I look at the menu, I'm like, oh, this day's going to suck. Really? Sometimes. What? Really? I enjoy every menu. I mean, there are some that are better than others. But like, I feel like on every menu, it takes a lot for me to just be like, this isn't a good menu, if I've ever done that before.

Yeah. I do believe I agree with you where I think every restaurant, every menu, there is one thing that you'll get. Like, you're not going to hate, like, anywhere you'll go. Would you rather a super long menu or a super, like, limited menu? limited. Really? I know this is probably not true, but a very big menu. I think to me, it makes me feel like they don't care. It's not, like there's not high quality. If there's so many things that you can get. I'm sure there are people in like the food industry that are saying like, yes, that is the general consensus. I mean, I don't know that, but that's what it feels like. It's like, all right, if you can make, you know, you're selling pizza and you're also selling filet mignon.

and you're also selling like, well, that's why... I'm like, all right, this is a lot of stuff. That's why people talk about the fucking cheesecake factory is like, because they have like a thousand menu items. Yeah, it's crazy. And it's like, legitimately, it's like an eight-page menu, and it's just like there's 40 sandwiches

and there's 10 steak options, and then there's 22 pasta options, and there is a lot of shit. I almost agree with you, but like I have no grounds to stand on. I've watched like, three episodes of kitchen nightmares and I feel like I walk in and I'm just like

this is too long. They don't care about fucking anything. Gordon Ramsey loves a tiny menu. Well, I mean, I don't like a tiny menu but I do like you know, five entrees is like the smallest.

Four I guess. Five entrees is, that's nothing dude. I know, but like that I'm saying that's like the smallest. I feel like. I need a lot of ads. I need a lot of apps and call them, call them starters. Don't call them shareables. Don't call them, even like appetizers I'm fine with, but like call them, you know, the right name.

Don't get cute with it. And then I need a red meat, a fish, chicken pasta. Yeah. You could break it up like that. You don't need to put it all under the same fucking under the same list. Or I like when there's just like, okay, this restaurant has in. total 14 15 items that's it and it's like they're all just there and they're like as it gets closer to the bottom the the portions get bigger these are more like you know you could get a couple for the

table blah blah blah I don't mind that I don't like when I got pages I like pages I think one turn like if there's this and there's one turn that's fine if I'm turning again this is insane also I will say this put the design dessert menu on the menu with everything else. Don't be like we got to bring you a separate menu. Why? I want to see when I'm ordering my food, like what I got up around the bend for me.

You know what I mean? Like what's on the other side of the horizon? No. I mean, I am surprised when I see it the first time. But you're like, oh, it's gotta be a, I don't know, I like the dessert menu. Really? Yeah.

It feels a little like, what, you weren't confident. You want to show me from the beginning? Show me now. Show me when you, when I walk in. I actually think the opposite. I think that if I get a menu and there is dessert on it, unless it's a short menu and it's like, here's everything. Then I'm kind of like, what's going on? It's just an extra step to just be like, all right, now let me see the dessert menu.

Just like I saw it originally. It's like, oh, this sounds good for dessert. Like, let's stew on that. Let's sit on that. Can't be thinking about dessert before appetizers. Can't do that. Bitch. Also, I really enjoy when they bring.

bring around like I actually fuck with the way they do it on planes on planes they just roll the fucking dessert up to you everything comes out at the same time yeah they're like here's what we have like imagine you're at a restaurant and a little trolley pops over and it's like here's the shit we were talking about going on a train ride like if you do that do you want a trolley of you want a trolley of snacks I actually saw I'll take the law I saw a TikTok of a hotel in Scotland, I believe, where they have a traveling barman. So he'll knock on your door and he has a little trolley and you can order a drink. And he makes like a fucking old fashion for you.

Here you go. You go back to your room. I love old-timey shit like that. Is it old-timey? I love it. I mean, it seems old-timey. There was just like a voice. I was like, the traveling barman.

I was like, damn, I kind of fuck with that. I do want to go to a restaurant or a bar or something where they like chip the ice off of a big ice block. For what? Like a drink? Yeah. Oh. Like they're just like, you want ice in it? I'm like, yeah.

And they go and they just like fucking murder an ice block in like a back freezer and then they just like put it in your glass. Or I could tell you when I was in Lisbon, I went to this place. I forget the name of it. But they were, they have perfectly clear ice blocks. I've seen those. They took them out and this woman just started cutting it. And she was like kind of struggling and doing it. I'm like, this has got to be the most annoying part of this job.

Because she's slicing this thing into a perfect rock. And then she like fucked one up. Then she had to get another one, and I'm like, I appreciate it. Oh, my God. I mean, I like, I like nice ice. Like ice cubes. Yeah. Whoa.

How do you say that? Frank likes ice. Nope. Stop. He heard of here first. He supports ice. No, no, no. Clip, clip, clip, clip.

No. He said ice is nice and everything spice. No, stop. You know I didn't say that. That's insane. If anyone, the guy in the camo hat is. What is that mean? No, no, I don't know.

It was the little hanging fruit. I had to. But yeah, I like a good ice. block. I like also the stamper thing where they make it like here's our logo. Fuck with that. Well, when we did... You don't like the stamper? It's just nothing. What do you like?

I'm still trying to learn a lot about you. Big ice guy. Ice cubes. Stop him! Damn it! Damn it! Big ice guy! Ice cubes! Ice cubes! Yeah! Love ice cubes. Love ice cubes. I'm gonna get. I hate ice. How's that?

Yeah, fuck that. Fuck ice. What ice cubes? And ice cube. But like, if you went to a cocktail bar, and they just put like fucking regular like ice cubes in there you wouldn't be like

you'd be like all right whatever there are certain ice cubes that if I got out I would be like where am I? The half moon ice cubes if I got that in my drink I'd be like the fuck

yeah I'm like it's from my fridge the fuck is this no I don't want that fully agree I need either a big block or you need blocks

or that one skinny one I'm not I fucking hate that one I'm not in for the skinny one because it's such a like... It hits my face. Not only is it hit your face, but like, it's such a, like, it's like catfishing the drink.

You know, like the long, skinny one, because then you're like, oh, I got this big drink and you take it out and it's like a little... I mean, the amount of drink in your drink is the same. I know, but I don't, I don't like, like, at least let me see that it's a smaller drink. Don't give me, don't catfish me. You know what I mean?

That's like, I don't want that shit. You ever see the videos? Because if it's a bunch of ice cubes, if I take out one ice cube, The drink still looks the same. You ever see the videos where they take out the big... Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like, don't let me be able to do that.

I mean, if you watch a bartender make it, there's like a total of like five ounces that go into every... We went to a place recently, and they had the stamped ice cube. We were just like... I'm like, I steal that. Now we're talking. And it was like an old...

And it wasn't like a... It was just like a piece of brass. Yeah, they're heavy. And it was like on like a leather handle. And we were just like... Yeah, we might steal this shit. Just palm some cubes and throw them in my drink. Yeah, but like, come on.

Dude, you have to, like... That's like saying that you don't care that you don't have a bed frame. I'm just going to... I'm just sleeping there. Do you... I would say it's not the same. I think it is the same. I think it is the same.

I'm gonna get... We're gonna gang up on you. We can just make points. But aren't there are certain parts where you're like, you have to appreciate the little extra, like, oh, that's nice. Because you're either like, you're either like you don't care

or you care too much about. things. And I don't understand, like, it's hard to figure out what you're going to feel on certain topics. Also, not every place has the stamp on the ice, obviously. Like, you're going to a cocktail bar. They may go the extra mile to elevate this drink. I'm not going to be like, just put a fucking ice cube in it. Like, yeah, palm of bunch of ice. If it's going to stop, if I'm at a bar and I'm getting a margarita and they're like trying to do that while everyone else is trying to order beers and stuff, then I'd be like, all right, just fucking put ice in it. But if you're going to like a place.

All right. It's crazy. It's crazy. It's so hard to get a read on you. I'm going to get you one day. What does that mean? One day you're going to turn into like. You're going to turn him out one day?

It's going to be like a bouginess to you. You think so? Yeah. If I hang out here. Once I get a Hugo Sprintz in you, forget it. I saw you posted a Hugo in the other day. Hugo. Oh boy.

Yeah. You know what? We might get him one day. Do me a favor. Hold your hands up. What about the other one? Ring? What's going on?

on his rest. Oh, he has a watch. You got that bitch. It's a watch. Yeah, but they'll be a, uh, it'll be a time. You're gonna be like, ooh. I'm gonna be like, no stamp? No stamp.

What kind of establishment? Where the hell do I even think I am? This is gonna be like, you change, man. No fucking stamp. You changed. No, but like, it's like, once there are certain parts of it that you're just like, oh, all right, hold on. Now that I, but, because, no, we wouldn't go to a normal bar and just be like,

what the fuck is this? Like, yeah, like a dive bar and you're like, No stamp in my beer? Yeah. Or like they put the thing, I was at a bar in Boston where they put a thing on top of the Guinness. It was like a little dog rocking out. Oh, like a little picture? Yeah, that's cool.

You know where I want to get one day and I never have? Have you ever seen those commercials where people like wipe the extra phone with like a special foam wiping knife? Oh, you're not supposed to do that. But it's like. Well, for Guinness. No, not for Guinness. I think it's done for, I think it's like Stella. Oh, you just slap it?

And no, they like, they like wipe the foam away. That seems cool. I also, we've said this, we are still on the hunt for a proper bar that throws an ice cold mug down the bar. Yeah, I don't know. It might happen. We've just got to go to October Fest for that. It's got to be like a sturdy glass. I also think that just like, what happened to just big old fucking mugs?

Steins. Not just a stein, but like the glass mug that is like 40 pounds. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, they have them. When I was in Idaho, I went to a bar at Grumpies, and they had, like, big chalises. And there's a bar in Brooklyn called Rockarola that has, like, big heavy. We went there. At the deviled eggs place?

Yes, that is the deviled eggs place. Pickled eggs, sorry, pickled eggs. Well, you thought, well, Danny thought it was deviled eggs, and it was pickled eggs. And he ate them anyway, and it was absolutely disgusting. I like pickle eggs. I've had them. They're just sitting in a jar. But they gave out big, like, thick glasses.

They're like, you know, I could kill someone with this. Really? Like, those are the only two places that I, like, know. But, like, they exist. Also, uh, house and hall. Have you been there? Do you know house and hall? Mm-mm.

It's like an indoor, outdoor. You would fuck with it kind of, actually. Love an indoor outdoor. You're like, inside, but then you're also, like, feels like outdoor. Oh, God, love that. There was one time I think it was someone's birthday. Danny was there.

I don't know. Who, Danny? Lo pejorie. Oh, okay. Not my name. They had a thing. They had a thing there that night where, you know, you could like, um, it's like a QR code.

and then you take a picture and it could potentially go up there. I was there. Oh, so. Yeah, we went for, I think it was Davino's birthday. Was it? And I had,

he kept posting pictures. I kept taking pictures of them coming up. And like the first one was just like, I'm finally enjoying my night out. Fuck you, dad. Yeah. And then like 12 others of his posted like on the screen. That point,

so the net, yes, I have that place. I think they have big things too, big cups, I don't remember. Yeah, he was posting like looking crying. It's like,

you know, my, my, was here or something like that. Like, you're doing. Yeah. We should go to a place and get a literstein. What does that look like? What's that?

Like a liter of beer, like the big mug. Like the giant one. Tall things. I mean, oh, the ones that come with like a... No, I said Stein. Oh, I saw something recently on TikTok where it's like, you go to a place. I forgot how much it cost. But I was like, yeah, this is insanely worth it.

And then for two hours, you get unlimited Guinness tap. That's a lot of Guinness, dude. Yeah, you go with a group. but that's crazy. I mean, think about it. In two hours. See, I wouldn't be able to do something like that because I would be like, I need to drink enough to offset whatever I'm paying for this.

Well, you would. That's why it's like super worth it. I mean, how much is it for two hours? I don't remember. Say it's, let's say 200 bucks. Okay. I would have to as an individual drink enough Guinness. Yeah, but how hard is that?

I mean, you would have to drink in two hours like five beers. No, I know that. I know I can do that. I'm not saying it's hard. But I'm not right for that situation because I will drink way too much. I mean. You know what I'm saying? Where it's just like, all right, I need to have five beers in two hours.

I'd be like, here's 10. There are some bars that there's a tap built into the table. And it like calculates how much you actually use or something like that. I don't know how it works. I assume you just like pay. I'm sure it's like on like a smart thing where it's just like you guys used, you filled your beers up five times. so this is your charge.

I kind of like that idea. Damn. We should do that. That sounds cool. It does. There was like a... Is it a steakhouse? There's something that does it.

But it's not Guinness. It's like other beers that are like in the table. And I was like, oh, that's cool. But I've never done it. Have you ever gotten one of the like lightning thing beers where you like put it down and it fills it up from the bottom? No. Dude, when I first saw those, I'll pull up a clip. I thought that was legit.

legitimately magic. How does it fill it? The cup, like... It has like a plastic thing on the bottom. Yeah. And like you put it in and there's like a fill. So it goes like that and it lifts the plastic thing up and it fills beer from the bottom. And then when you pull it away, it like seals it.

So technically if you like fingered the bottom, it would all come out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that's necessary. Yeah, you can go out from the top. I mean, it was like, it looked pretty cool. But then I know that there's like science behind.

Have you ever seen the thing where John Taffer? He's like, this is what happens when you don't pull your beer properly. And he puts like a napkin in a beer. Oh, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? And it like starts to fizz up. And he's like, that happens in your stomach.

This is not good. Like this guy, he fucking, this guy, he goes back and forth quick, brother. This is it. Yeah, you see that? Good looking beer. Watch, watch. So they put it down, a little flap. Whoa.

Yeah, I thought that was. magic. I mean, you would have to be really dumb to think that's magic. I think the answer is pretty clear. I mean, it's cool. I think the answer is pretty clear. It's a you thing in your brain, I think. I went, whoa. Let's get John Tapper on this show.

And let's just drink with John Tapper. To be like, John, what do you think about this? We're just drinking Steins the whole time. Just drinking Steins and he's telling us, you know, just screaming at us about like, or let's bring him to like I have no idea for John Tapper Well there you have it folks I think that's our episode for today
