Humorous ASMR and Drink Openings
00:00:02
Speaker
Nice. That was a little ASMR right there. We used to do that a lot to open episodes. We've kind of fallen off. But was it Dr. Pepper, no sugar cream soda? No, usually it was like beer or something. Natty Ice? Something stupid. Natty Light. PBR?
00:00:19
Speaker
By the way, I noticed last time how much I like. Yeah. The crinkling when you really, yeah. Really bad. You got to move the mic up to your, to your face
Technical Audio Adjustments
00:00:27
Speaker
a little bit. How about one time I went to this bar? A little bit better. Cause it's loud for me. Is it? Yeah. Maybe that's just your headphones. Yeah. Maybe my headphones are low. Hello. Hello. Hello. Check, check, check, check. I think you sound good. Love it. Beautiful. Are we ready?
Bar Stories and Mystery Shots
00:00:44
Speaker
Maddie ice. Yeah. I mean,
00:00:46
Speaker
Yeah, we're gonna yeah, so we're talking about discussing beer natty ice PBR one time I went to this bar in Southington we've all been to that bar and they were doing a PBR in mystery shot special or PBR in mystery. Yeah mystery shot special is like five bucks. Yeah, okay So I thought the mystery shot was that you could pick what you want and
00:01:11
Speaker
So I was like, oh, I figured it was bottom shelf, right? So I was like, OK, I'll take the PBR and like give me the give me the romp, right? The shot of whatever romp. And she's like, no, no, we make it like we make the shot. It's the mystery shot. And so they pour it. And I and I fully believe it was remnants of whatever was left over in a bottle. They just put in one bottle and gave it to you as a shot. It was nasty. So it was their way of getting rid of the extra alcohol.
00:01:36
Speaker
That's what I feel like it was. Genius. It's smart. Yeah, it's an incredibly smart move. This is a story we told on the pod like years ago.
Trivia Night and Dine-and-Dash
00:01:48
Speaker
But one time me, Austin, and Nick are Atticus. Me, Atticus, and Nick won this bar we were at. Everyone got free shots because we answered a question right after trivia. And the shots were obviously pre-made.
00:02:06
Speaker
Like in a bottle and it was just the worst selling drink the worst selling mixed drink that they had They just started pouring shots of it and giving it out. It tasted awful Frankly, and I bet you a soul Yeah, I mean here's the thing we we you know we told a story or whatever and I think they were really no matter even if we got that thing wrong They were gonna give like the shots away
00:02:30
Speaker
and
00:02:45
Speaker
And yeah, funny story, we dined in Dash that night by accident. By accident completely. Oh, I'm sure. So you got shit drinks. Yep. And you dined in Dash. Yeah. And we went back like three weeks later and they're like, hey, like three weeks ago you guys didn't. Oh, they caught you. Yeah, they knew it was us. You're not supposed to go back if you know you died in Dash. No. All right. Here's the thing. We didn't realize that we didn't dine in Dash until like a week later.
00:03:14
Speaker
And then two weeks after that, you went again. Yeah, because we're going to make it right. This is our trivia place, man. We weren't going to. Did they wait? Did they let you in? Yeah, they sat us down and they're like, hey, like last time you didn't pay. And we're like, oh, my bad, like.
00:03:26
Speaker
We knew and we were like, we should say something. We'll play it off. Well, yeah. Well, we'll we'll see if they approach us. And then they did. And then obviously I was like, oh, yeah, I knew that. Here's my I like already when she came over to like say I was like, here's my card. Like immediately. I was like, yeah. How much was the bill? Yeah, it could have been that expensive. $100. What? It was three of us. Dude, you're getting drinks. We were getting appetizers meal. Yeah.
00:03:51
Speaker
So were we all together that one time? This is when we like we first went to the Russian lady and remember they used to come around with the tray and the shots on the tray. I was going to bring this up.
Youthful Antics and Cheap Shots
00:04:04
Speaker
Yes.
00:04:04
Speaker
Was that we were all together and they're like three dollars a shot, and we didn't want to spend it And I said to the girl I was like I'll drink whatever you spilt on the tray And she poured it in the shot glass, and I drank it I don't remember that you don't remember that you might not have been there for that one. I thought you were doing that I don't remember you asking yeah, no he did yeah. Yeah, I did yeah Yeah, she let me you just sipped it off the tray I
00:04:30
Speaker
Either I sipped it off the tray or she had like an empty one and poured it in there. You funneled it off the tray. I did funnel it off the tray. It was disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. Was that the end of the night? No. We had been in the building for 10 minutes.
00:04:46
Speaker
We haven't even got our first drinks yet. Remember when- This was the start of your drinks? Drinking right off the trail. Well, Victor's strategy for a while is they were doing $10 all you can drink to a certain time. So his strategy was go there, hammer it, and then don't pay for another drink after 10 p.m., which was a genius move because you spent $10. And yeah, it was bottom shelf, but it was pounding it. You got to sober up the
Bar Name Change and Local Events
00:05:10
Speaker
drive home. And then water from 10 p.m. on. And it was a genius move.
00:05:20
Speaker
Yeah, it was probably one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in my life I was right I was way I was priming that to bring it up and he brought it up for himself Which is great that that is the equivalent of going up to the bar and saying could you just collect all of the Spilled liquor that you have here put it in a cup and give it and would you give it to me for free?
00:05:40
Speaker
I don't know if
00:06:00
Speaker
Clearly, I mean, they're not good, but I won't say too much. I don't want disparage. Yeah, it's a great place. The Ukrainian lady, which no, it's just the lady now. Oh, they they they had to change owners and we won't get into details on that, but they had to change owners who just went from Russian lady to Ukrainian lady to the lady. Well, they changed it because of the war. They didn't want to be known as the well that and then after the invasion, they were like, we shouldn't we shouldn't be named after.
00:06:28
Speaker
Which I really don't think is necessary. Yeah, that's kind of a little bit of a... I don't know. Say it. It's a... It's your podcast. Just say it. It's a pandering move. Like, it's... You know, just so you could say you did something, I don't know. Like... Well, they need to be in the news for other reasons. Yeah. But... Oh, they were after that. That's why they changed to The Lady. Yeah. Oh, they did the name change even after that.
00:06:57
Speaker
Yeah, they name changed after because something pretty bad happened. Which nobody's surprised on something like that happening there. Well, okay, sorry. I legitimately don't know. What happened? You have to tell me. The Russian lady? Yeah, I don't know why it's now who's the new owners or whatever. The thing that he's tip-toning around here.
00:07:20
Speaker
Don't know who the new owners are but they got they got shut down and investigated because allegedly There's a video of it that circled around that a security guard pushed a customer down the flight of steps And he got knocked out and then they they cut the business they suspended the license the whole this and that and I think the guy basically Sold and somebody or somebody assumed it took it over didn't they have somebody that fell from the second story, too? I
00:07:47
Speaker
No, I think you're thinking of angry bull. Yes. Yes.
Fake ID Adventures and College Life
00:07:50
Speaker
That one. Sorry. That one. Yeah, that one close close right after I was going to say that girl was also like 18. Yeah. She was underage and then found her way up to the roof and then fell. Brutal.
00:08:04
Speaker
Connecticut yeah, I mean I'm this happens everywhere. It's not just a CT centric thing, but different one is close to you Yeah, I actually someone I knew from like someone from Olga high was a little bit younger than us I don't think you guys know her but like I think was like her quadmate Really? Yeah, I was like living with her went like when she died No, I never went to her angry bull Neither did I was it angry bull I? Can't I think it was angry bull
00:08:32
Speaker
This isn't fair because this is not my story to tell, but one of our friends for his like 20th birthday or maybe 19th birthday.
00:08:43
Speaker
Had to have been 20th because we all had fakes I didn't I wasn't there for that. I wasn't there for this night Which is why again, it's like not really my story to tell but I'm gonna say it anyway They went to Angry Bowl with fakes and again Angry Bowl had been getting like busted for underage drinking a bunch Well, yeah, the cops were rating it constantly kicking out kids like obviously was like a known like yeah, you just have to show up with a fake and you're getting in and
00:09:10
Speaker
So one of our friends for their 20th birthday showed up with like a bunch of like just like our group of friends and tried to get in there like the first in line and the bouncer grabbed their ID and was like he grabbed it looked at it took a step to the side and goes if any of you else like if anyone else has a piece of shit fake ID like this just just step out of line right now don't even show me I don't want to see it if any if any of you have garbage like this
00:09:39
Speaker
I'm
00:10:01
Speaker
we did all i think we me you and like a couple other people i won't docs because it's kind of not a good it's not a good thing for the record i never had a fake so let's just throw that out there yeah neither yeah neither yeah that's right but if i did um you know my fake i guess allegedly had a spelling mistake on it so
00:10:25
Speaker
It was Vernon was spelled the Vee man They put the R and N together and thought it was an M So I was like never going out. It worked. It worked on Olive Garden
00:10:47
Speaker
What are you doing in an Olive Garden? Why did you use a fake ID in an Olive Garden? And why did you do that? I think I think the dude understood
00:11:00
Speaker
What I was like. I was on a date in Olive Garden and I like they're like, oh, do you want to try the wine tasting or whatever? And I was like, yeah, for sure. Like we would love that. And he's like, I just need to see an ID. Just one. Right. He went on a date on Olive Pro. I was like, hold on. Come on. That's a great place to go for you. Are you kidding me?
00:11:19
Speaker
Endless breadsticks, soup, and salad. You have no money as a kid. You go into an Olive Garden. Yeah, man. I'm here making $11 an hour. You and me both, we did the same thing.
00:11:32
Speaker
Yeah, I guess it's classy a little bit. It reminds you of Tuscany. Don't tell me it was the one of the waterberry mall. No, no, no, no, no. I went to West Hall. I went to West Farms, man. Come on. Hold on. Expect more for me. It's the Ritz. Like, yeah. So I I went on a date once and the girl told me that she was she wanted seafood and was very into seafood. And I recommended her the Panera bread.
00:11:55
Speaker
the Panera Bread, the lobster roll. Oh my God, we'll get there. So she told me what areas she lived in and she said she's into seafood, very into fish. So I recommended like this. So weird. This Spanish place, like close by to her. I was like, this is good seafood, like this is tilapia, this and that. And she goes, nah, I'm into other seafoods this and that. She goes, I love the seafood from Maggie McFly's. That's actually not that bad.
00:12:25
Speaker
I don't think like it's weird to get the seafood from Maggie McFly's but I think
00:12:29
Speaker
It's not like Long John Silver's or she's not being like, hey, can we go to like, can you take me to lobster landing in Clinton for our first date when we live on the other side of the state? I guess the confusing part was I didn't know that she just wanted like fish and chips. You know what I'm saying? Like if I knew you wanted fish and chips. That's not liking seafood. That's Maggie McFly's. But if you tell me you like fish, you like seafood. I'm thinking tilapia. You know what I'm saying? Your mind was in the right place.
Seafood Preferences and Maggie McFly's
00:12:57
Speaker
We did go to Maggie McFly's, by the way.
00:13:00
Speaker
I don't like Maggie McFly's. I really don't. You know what's interesting? The Maggie McFly's in Middlebury is completely different from the other Maggie McFly's around. How so? It's not as cool. The Middlebury one's mad cool. The stuff they got into the decor. Yeah, it's two floors. It's nice. It's two floors. They have an outdoor area, which is pretty nice now. The one in Manchester is attached to the mall or something. Yeah. It's not that great. Atticus and I met there a couple weeks ago.
00:13:27
Speaker
Maybe a couple weeks ago. No, why am I saying weeks? We met there in like June before we went to Montreal to like plan the trip. And he like walked in and was like, damn, like, this is mad night. He's like, I've been to other Maggie McFly's, they don't look like this. And I was like, oh, I kind of just thought it was like, this was like the gimmick of the rest. There's like a plane in the Maggie McFly's. Yeah. Yeah. It's like right above the bar or whatever. I thought that that was just every Maggie McFly's.
00:13:55
Speaker
Again, Maggie McFly's is only like central to Connecticut, too. I don't know why I'm talking as if it's like a big chain. There's only like three or four, no? Yeah. But apparently we have the best one. I love it. I'm saying I love that we have the best one. Oh, I see. Sorry. Yeah. Town Pride. Town Pride. Back to the fakes thing, though. Again, allegedly.
00:14:24
Speaker
Yeah, no, nothing about this conversation is actual. Yeah. This is a story that we're making up for the podcast. We're trying to be entertaining. Yeah, hypotheticals. But you remember that dude from Yukon Wannaberry? He was a little bit weird. He hung around. Yeah. Yeah. Again, bleep that name out.
00:14:46
Speaker
Did you hear the second episode he actually bleep stuff out of it? I wanted to touch upon that because it sounds like shit There has to be some context because it sounds like it sounds worse
00:15:02
Speaker
Which is fine. No. No, it's not fine. That's why he's saying it. That's why he's saying it. It's not fine. I played it for B, right? And she was like, what happened? What were you guys talking about? Also speaking of B, what was her response to the racial profiling? She was like, you did exactly what I told you not to do.
00:15:27
Speaker
Well, you know, hey listen again never gonna hold that again yeah, yeah, you didn't bring it up I didn't I was faultless truly. I just commented But um back back to that That also wasn't the worst
00:15:41
Speaker
thing that happens racially that night, by the way. I'll go. We can go into... Oh, with B? No, not with B. Someone else from the fraternity, not B. Well, we got a lot to get to, huh? Yeah, man, we really do. Fake IDs, right? Yeah, yeah. So that guy, when we did whatever, the fake ID, Ron, or whatever, allegedly... Allegedly, yeah.
00:16:07
Speaker
He was like, hey, if this doesn't work out, I'm holding you like personally responsible. He's like, if we don't get our IDs, I'm holding you personally responsible. What does that mean? I was like, bro, what do you know? They're coming in from China. Yeah. Like it's this is what we're doing is illegal. You understand that, right? Allegedly, what we're doing is illegal. Right.
00:16:26
Speaker
You got what you're gonna yeah, you're gonna go to the cops What do you what do you yeah what exactly man gonna hold you personally responsible Great business model right if I if I'm making a fake ID for somebody and I take their whatever it costs And I give them back a shitty ID
00:16:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's how Victor got Veeam in Connecticut. And again, I never used it because of it only at that Olive Garden. Yeah. And again, that's because the waiter felt bad. He saw it on the first day and trying to get I never used it at like package stores or bars or anything.
00:16:59
Speaker
Wait, okay. So you were at Olive Garden. Yeah, you gave him the ID. Yeah, he gave you wine. Yep. Did did he pour the wine for you? Did you taste it? Yeah, pretty good. He did the whole little. Did she get wine out of it, too? Yes. She has a whole table got wine. Beautiful. Yeah. Whole table. Well, just like the two. Yeah. We both got one. He was like, sir. Yeah. And you were like, oh, yes. Yeah. Did you swirl? Yeah.
00:17:27
Speaker
That guy just knew like I feel bad for this kid West Hartford, there's no way he didn't know that the idea was like messed up I'd like to think that he or that he didn't know I like to think he was doing
Life Lessons Beyond College
00:17:41
Speaker
you a solid. Yeah. Yeah I Don't know what happened to the ID because I gave it away to a kid in college Also, here's another I don't know why that's a thing like I
00:17:53
Speaker
yeah passing down fakes or whatever down fakes this doesn't make sense like i can hold the idea up there actually you know what i stand corrected there are some people that i know that have a little brothers yeah like exactly like siblings like make sense yeah
00:18:08
Speaker
This guy was just another Filipino Italian guy. We just both happened to be the same exact mix. So he was like, oh, I could probably get away with it. And I was like, not really. You're a lot darker than me, but. Right. Let's try hypothetically. We're not allegedly. Yeah, we did not do that. That would that would be wrong. This is what university does to children. My God. Yeah, I know. Kids. Yeah, this is this. This is why I proved so much student loan debt.
00:18:34
Speaker
Specifically for life lessons, for these life lessons. Nothing to do with my degree, but for the life lessons. Who uses their degree? Not me. We go to college for social experiments, building our character. Yeah. How did that work out for you? Fucking great. Yeah, I was gonna say pretty good. I have a podcast. How do you think that's working out for me? We're on the up and up, man. We're gonna get to 100 soon.
Podcasting and Post-College Life
00:19:00
Speaker
Wait, hold on. So what did your college experience give you?
00:19:04
Speaker
Nothing I worked full-time. I went to school full-time. There was no time. Yeah, that's rough. There was no time I Was in a relationship. I was working full-time. I was in school full-time. There was there was no time for nothing I was drinking beers in somebody's basement. I mean, that's I was the epitome of it I was playing music pretty pretty professionally at that time. It was like I
00:19:27
Speaker
There was there was no time to college party. I think I went out with you guys a lot better than what you're doing now. Oh, really? How? Why? What am I doing? That sounds fun. Drinking in people's basements. That sounds fun. Yeah, I think there were pretty pretty creative ways that you guys drink beer in that basement, too. Yeah. What are you doing now? Yeah, drinking a Dr. Pepper zero sugar cream soda. That's right. This episode is brought to you by Dr. Pepper.
00:19:56
Speaker
love it oh god yeah you're um you're pretty decked out yeah you're wearing the stealer shoes are you a Steelers fan i'll have to check yeah i'll let you know yeah let me know who's number seven come on i i actually genuinely don't know
00:20:17
Speaker
two-time Super Bowl winner yep two-time allegedly everything's allegedly this up with it to quit it quit it and by quit it I mean settled out of court twice yes for sums of money yeah you know probably the best quarterback in Steelers history one Ben Roethlisberger any picket
00:20:44
Speaker
And you're still wearing the jersey, huh? Yeah, come on You coulda you could have more like a TJ watt Jersey. I have one but it's it's you could have worn Any other literally any other Jersey? I have you chose to wear the most problematic Steelers Jersey I have nine so okay two of them would have been Big Ben. Okay, so you had seven other jerseys to wear that way Oh Antonio Brown
00:21:10
Speaker
Okay, six other jerseys that are less problematic. But you could have worn more. Don't you have a scarf and a hat? You have a hat? I could have brought a towel. I could have. Yeah. I thought about wearing my T.J. jersey to this podcast and I was like, oh, I feel like putting it on. I was gonna say, he has one too. Yeah. We got it together. That's right. I bought it in Pittsburgh. I support it. I'm glad that you're passionate about something. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate your enthusiasm towards my passions.
00:21:40
Speaker
By the way, no, nothing about football up in my fantasy league this week. Get it very much. Right. And not really. You're just doing DraftKings lineups. Yeah. Well, all right. Sorry. To clarify, regular fantasy league. Oh, and 10. Yeah. Oh, and 10. Every single week, actually. Fantasy on FanDuel weekly.
00:22:01
Speaker
up 75 bucks I can be mad about that you can't be mad about that I go in there and I just do the guru pick like pick with the guru and is that really what you're like your cousins not like giving you pics or you're just going in there and hitting the guru and it's you're winning money winning that's crazy that would be
00:22:21
Speaker
Three weeks in a week does three hours of strategizing and he's down 200 bucks Texting
Fantasy Football Successes and Failures
00:22:27
Speaker
each other lineups like Saturday night being like yeah, I really think JK Dobbins is gonna have And he's at such a low value this is a steal and then he'll put up 34 yards on 17 touches
00:22:43
Speaker
And I'm wasting $25 every weekend on a fucking shitty lineup. Meanwhile, it's like you just picked Josh Allen. It might be make you might make sense to pick this wide receiver. I'm like, yeah, why not? Thirty five points, twenty five points. You know, you got to start doing then do those and then go on actual fan to embed on the players.
00:23:06
Speaker
That's probably the next step. This is like the next step to you getting a gambling addiction I think we should all watch that movie 21 with Jim Sturgis and just like Figure out how to count cards go to the casino and just run it you know what's crazy even if you're counting cards, and you're not doing it in a way to like I Don't know like if you're not doing it as a scheme with like your boys in that movie 21. They still kick you out Yeah, they don't want you beating the casino ever
00:23:36
Speaker
Speaking of movies that everybody said was bad that I rewatched the other day, I'm glad we talked about movies. Speaking of that, I rewatched the movie Solo from Star Wars.
00:23:47
Speaker
Yeah, never watched it. No, I thought it was good. Everybody hated it the newest trilogy like Kind of soured. I haven't watched any of the shows I know you guys were watching the shows like and and or and all that together or whatnot I think those are actually good, but I never watched that movie Yeah, that was like 2018.
Star Wars: Solo and Franchise Sentiments
00:24:04
Speaker
It got trashed. It got terrible. I thought it was pretty good Well, did I love it? No, but I thought the storyline and everything I thought it was good. I
00:24:11
Speaker
I feel like that got written off from the start because people didn't like the trilogy. Yeah. Yeah, like but this was prior to the No, no after
00:24:21
Speaker
Well, it was definitely up to the first one. Yeah, Rogue One. Then they did Force Awaken. Which was great. Rogue One. Yeah, so I watched Rogue One first. Oh, you watched them back and forth. So it was, you know how TNT does like the Star Wars marathon? Yeah. So Rogue One just started. So I watched it on Disney Plus so I could skip the commercials. So I finished that. Glad I did it because it was such a great movie.
00:24:44
Speaker
and then went right into solo after. Wait, so it was on TV and inspired you to go to the Disney Plus app? Yeah, I don't want commercials. That's what they want you to do. That's fair enough, I guess. That's that's hilarious. It's a it's a two hour and like 20 minute movie versus three and a half hours on TNT. Yeah, I'm watching on Disney Plus as well. Watch like Lord of the Rings. Also, can you move your head for like two seconds? Yeah, this way.
00:25:08
Speaker
Okay, nevermind you're good. I was scared that Hayden Hearst scored. I was about to be really pissed off Yeah, we're gonna get sued by the NFL for copyright. No, it's okay I mean Austin's face is blocking half the screen and you can't really tell who's playing right now They just blew an orange That's all you can really see I'm not gonna lie when you see I thought you were when you said solo I thought you were about to say soul plane and
00:25:34
Speaker
You ever see the movie Soul Plane? No. I've never seen it. Good movie for, it's not like, you know, it's not like actual cinema, but it's, it's like Kevin Hart, Snoop Dogg. Oh, I think that's Snoop. Snoop's on top of the world right now with his Olympic stuff. I feel like he's, he's been consistently the same for his entire career.
00:26:06
Speaker
whatever sorry nerd moment real quick though because you brought up wrote one that ending scene from that movie best depiction of Darth Vader oh yeah it's sick yeah I know that I know that scene because it pretty much like doesn't it roll into like yeah bridges into the starter number four yeah oh yeah cinematically it was fantastic so good sorry I'm sorry what were you saying you were saying something about
00:26:19
Speaker
We had the one weird spell where he went to Snoop Lion or whatever.
00:26:36
Speaker
I thought you were going to say Soul Plane. I was about to be very thrown off by that. I've never seen it. You guys know me with movies, but I just... You should watch them, man. It's a plane. They got strippers. They got weed. They got hot tubs. What was that one movie when we were at college? You made me... I don't know if it was both of us. You made us sit down and watch, and you're like, this is the worst film in cinematic history. Oh, it's The Room, dude. Austin threw a party to have people over to watch that movie. What was it called? The Room. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was a great movie.
00:27:06
Speaker
You didn't you remember that movie? No, none of the slightest. I just remember. I'll let you run it. No, for what? He's he was very persistent on sitting down and we're going to watch this movie and reiterated that it was the worst movie in cinematic history.
Entertainment in Bad Movies
00:27:24
Speaker
Yeah, but like ironically, yeah, it rocks though. It's hilarious. It's one of those things where like some people actually think that it's like a genuinely good movie. Yeah, I disagree. They're wrong. So bad that it's good. It's one of those. It's so bad that it's entertaining to watch. Interesting. I'll grab the DVD. You could take it home. I don't have a DVD player. You have Xbox? No. You have a PlayStation?
00:27:47
Speaker
No. You guys know this. I have a PlayStation 2 and a Nintendo Switch. I'm sure it could stream. I'm sure it's free on YouTube if I type in the room. I don't think so. I doubt it. Yeah, they actually took it down. Who do you think, who do you think streams it? You think you can get it on 2B, Pluto TV? Maybe you could probably run it on Amazon Prime. Probably.
00:28:10
Speaker
or Netflix did it. And now they have the Disaster Artist, which is the James Franco movie about that movie. You know what's crazy? I've probably watched The Room. It's probably in my top five most watched movies list.
00:28:23
Speaker
Because, I don't know, once I've seen like a good movie, I don't really rewatch it, because there's so much other movies to watch. But that one I think I've watched at least like 20 times. And the other guys. And the other guys, that's another one. Key movie for this dynamic right here. Yeah. I put off watching The Disaster Artist until like four months ago. What'd you think? It's all right. Yeah. It didn't really do anything for me.
00:28:52
Speaker
I think the whole Franco stuff, like him being...
00:28:57
Speaker
who he is, kind of soured it too on top of that. But also I think it's one of those things where it's too much of a good thing. I like the movie. I don't need to know how it's made. I don't wanna know more about the director or what his thought process was. It was a good movie because it was lightning in a bottle. So haphazardly put together that it was funny. And once you start going into it,
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah, you're doing like a meta. Yeah, you're showing us how how many times it took him to film. Yeah, like the Oh, Hi Mark thing, which like is probably one of the best parts of the movie. I don't want to know that it took 900 takes or whatever. You know what I mean? I just kind of the magic. Yeah, I assumed watching the movie The Room for the first time that it was all one take.
00:29:52
Speaker
It's all just let's roll the camera and say your line. Yeah, sounds good. And then on to the next that's the new one The room what's the one with Tom Hanks? He's just a Completely different movie. Are you think about that new Tom Hanks movie? We're like it's literally just in one room. Yeah the whole time, bro That's not what we're talking. Okay. Is that what you thought that movie was that we watched back? Oh
00:30:18
Speaker
You thought we watched the news. I don't really know to be honest. I started watching the game. I started watching the game while you guys were talking I'm back. I'm back. Thanks. Okay. I'm gonna give you the DVD so you can watch it figure it out You have a laptop as a disk tray. No, none of them have disk trays anymore. Oh
00:30:40
Speaker
All right, well go to your parents' house and steal their DVD player. Steal the copper wiring while you're there. She was so mad when I threw out the VHS player. Oh my god. That's pretty dumb. That is dumb. You don't have VHS that you have lying around? Don't. We threw them all out. So B was really like you brought shame to the family, huh, on the second episode? Nah, she wasn't that bad. Should we call her and ask her? But she wants to know what else.
00:31:10
Speaker
Oh from her nothing. Yeah, but there was someone else that night who Who was like she's also Filipino and white Yes, I know And I like I had just joined like
00:31:27
Speaker
It's this club up at UConn that primarily was for people who were half Asian and half other, whatever, other ethnicities. So I was kind of a little bit gung-ho on that. I was like, oh my gosh, you should check out this club that I'm in. And she was like, honestly, I'm just white. She's like, I'm not Filipino at all. I was like, I'm white. And I was like, oh. OK. Connecticut will do that to you. Yeah, I know. Hey, listen, I had to unlearn that. And that club helped me unlearn that. But I was like, damn, that's kind of sad.
00:31:56
Speaker
Yeah, just like being like oh, that's really cool. You're Filipino so much like no, I'm just white Yeah, it's like a weird thing to say back. Well weren't you? Like wasn't that at the party that you hosted? No, that was at the apartment like when When fish like had all the pledges over for your class. Oh In in Charter Oak. Yeah, it was that party
00:32:19
Speaker
Maybe and then she locked herself in my room and like ate all my Jolly Ranchers to which like fuck her Yeah, maybe she had maybe she just had issues No, but maybe she said that because that's what she learned about the cultures like she just knows nothing so she doesn't as simulate to it, you know, I
00:32:37
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. It's just, again, like weird to just not be like, yeah, you know, but I don't I'm not really like, but that's coming from you who, who like wants to be proud. Yeah. Right. So like, even then it was like, I like wasn't like, you know, I was still like exploring, you know, maybe she was doing the same.
00:32:54
Speaker
Maybe but it's just weird to be like instead of being like yeah, I'm Filipino and then just like ending the conversation Be like no, I'm just white. It's like a little harsh. You're not I can see it in your face You're not white, but keep telling yourself that she could have been like I'm a practicing Filipino. Maybe I'm not sure She's a practicing white is what she well That's really what she
00:33:17
Speaker
Yeah, cancel culture is coming, baby. That's right. Between this and the copyright infringement of the NFL, I think we're done after this episode. I know. Collect ad revenue, by the way. If you're going to get fined, you might as well collect ad revenue. There's no potential of us getting ads on this show. That's all right. We used to have a partnership with, like,
00:33:44
Speaker
I forget who it was a couple guys from Olga who like did like home brewing and stuff like that We would open like every episode be like yeah, we're sponsored by ex brewing I'm not gonna say it now, but did you did you try their stuff? Yeah, it's pretty good. Was it good? Yeah, like I think Jeff got a free hat I think we got like they got merch I think maybe no, you know Jeff got one free six pack I think once and then bought a hat from them
00:34:12
Speaker
Yeah, and we shouted them out on like maybe the first like 15 to 20 episodes I can't even remember Okay, similar topic if you had to be sponsored by somebody who would it be anybody I'll take Money is money money is money a dollar is a dollar. That's right, baby No, there's only one place that still exists. Everybody knows did you go? Oh
00:34:37
Speaker
What? To where a dollar is a dollar? No, no. I only went that one time ever in my life and I will never go again. Oof. Where was it?
00:34:46
Speaker
You want to tell the story? You want me to tell the story? No, you tell the story. I don't like the story. I want to hear the story. I'm sure you want to tell that story. Yeah, I don't know about that. It's a Montreal story, right? Of course, it was a Montreal. So long story short, we'll make it brief. Montreal and Canada is known as very high-end strip clubs, beautiful women, very high-end strip clubs, the best of the best, very expensive.
00:35:11
Speaker
So we went one time like on a guy's trip and Austin was working up there, so we caught up with him We went to the casino this and that and one of the guys we went with was very Persistent on ending the night at a strip club, and I've never bet a very specific one, okay? Well, I don't know was it specific. I just remember he wanted to end a night
00:35:29
Speaker
Well, but then he chose that one. So because it was the closest. Oh, OK. All right. It was it was no, no, no, no, no. It was by proximity. So he was very persistent and I never been to one and I never truthfully planned on going to one. But it was close to the B&B and it was four dollars to get in. That's not that bad. And I think there was three ladies working that night.
00:35:54
Speaker
Oh, there was let's just set the stage first, right? Do you guys only like a Tuesday like might as well have been a Tuesday? It felt like a Tuesday. It was unfortunately a Saturday night. We were there at 1 p.m. on a Monday. No, we were there at 1 a.m. on a Saturday night. It should have been absolutely packed. Yeah, but it was a small like small space like in another life. It was probably a deli. That's how big this place was. You had the stage.
00:36:21
Speaker
Right, and then you had like a little bit of a gap like it almost just for for like a walkway and you had small Like circular tables and they were all pretty close right very close very close and There were like like four of us there was like six or eight. Yeah, we were a big group So we were obviously targeted right like we're the only paying customers there. So might continue, please. Oh
00:36:49
Speaker
So our friend Luna came up to us. Luna's from Virginia.
00:36:54
Speaker
and she was obviously chatting us up and she was she was more than chatting us up they had they probably had a 30-minute conversation with this one well some of the people we went there freaking love to talk and that's all you need to do you know saying and i was i remember sitting in the corner drinking my beer with and you were sitting next to me and then i started laughing do you remember this i started dying laughing in the middle of just having a guy yeah it was my fault
00:37:20
Speaker
And I started dying laughing, and this is bad, but again, this is all new to me. I start dying laughing, and Austin looks at me, he goes, what's wrong? He goes, she, Luna has a lazy eye. And I saw that. And he goes, what's, and he goes, I go, dude. I go, Luna has a lazy eye. He goes, yeah, and so what? And I said, I don't know which eye to look in. And I said that because I was trying to be so respectful, but I didn't know which one was working, and which one wasn't working.
00:37:49
Speaker
which also made it look like you wanted her attention. No, you were looking at her like you were trying to figure it out. And then I went downhill from there. We won't say the rest of the story. Did you remember that? That one girl, she kept walking that guy to the the ATM. She cleaned them out. Remember that? He was there like three, four times. He was the worst. Yeah. Cleaned them out. That's got to be common. Yeah. 100 percent. Right.
00:38:16
Speaker
Cleaned him out. Yeah, so that was my one and only experience Never again. Let's just remind everybody that you're the one that brought up the strip clubs Well, I brought up the fact that a dollar is a dollar is bringing up inflation Can we just move on from this well we kind of have to now yeah Okay, that's great. Yeah
00:38:42
Speaker
Way to ruin the bit Mike. Yeah, did you end you ended up at the casino over there though? I did yeah, I guess you love it Yeah, it's great dude. Love it. I lost so much money
00:38:52
Speaker
Yeah, I lost $180 in Canadian real quick at that casino. Blackjack? No. Slots? Slots? Crap's where you press the button and the dice rolls in front of you. Oh, no. The dice is in a little igloo. Yep. Almost like, what's that? Is it sorry, where you press the thing and the dice roll? Yeah, basically, I was playing that, but craps and not having a good time. If I'm going to lose a good chunk of money, it can't be to a machine. It has to be to a human being.
00:39:22
Speaker
I think that's when I get more pissed off. When it's a human being? Yeah. Why? I don't know, just because it's...
00:39:30
Speaker
I feel like, I don't know, I just feel like it's more rigged than the computer. Because the computer just follows an algorithm. The computer just follows me now. I'm gonna tell you right now. The computer absolutely follows an algorithm. That algorithm is written against you. No, they're all written against you, no matter what you do. Right, but with a human, at least there's a human factor there. They're not totally programmed to rip you off. Because you can gain the system a little bit. It depends on what you're playing.
00:40:01
Speaker
Like there's a bigger chance that you get the card that you want in blackjack when you're facing a human whereas I feel like a computer could be like, oh he's winning too much. Let's slip him a fucking raw deal here. I just found to have more success winning more money from a slot machine than at the table. Yeah, but that's what big electric casino wants you to think.
00:40:24
Speaker
Also, this is in your illustrious betting career. Yeah, yeah You know how much strength it took me to not gamble this weekend Well, I just hate the only reason I didn't is because I was running errands for my dad's birthday So I didn't have the time to pull over and put bets in before the one o'clock games Vic's going to pick up the food for his dad's birthday stops at the casino real quick just a good detour and
00:40:52
Speaker
Listen, sometimes you got it. Career neutral, right? Yeah, I am career neutral. I think that's a win. Yeah. I mean, some could argue that that's a waste of time. Well, it's about the fun you have along the way. That's right. Yeah. The ups and downs. Yeah. Not a lot of downs. Not a lot of ups. Just, you know, one consistent way. Please don't hit me with a pretty experienced bullshit.
00:41:17
Speaker
It is for the experience. It's like when people tell musicians like, oh, take this free gig. It's for good exposure. That's that's different. This is the same thing. No. Oh, I lost five hundred dollars at the blackjack table, but it was good for the experience. You still lost. No, but I mean, it's different than doing a gig for free exposure because you can still get exposure from that. There's still a possibility of winning there. Yeah. You go to you go to a casino. Yeah, you're going to go to the tables and maybe you'll lose some money. But
00:41:46
Speaker
go get drinks and then you go to the club and there's a whole- You go ride the bull at the comedy club thing or whatever. Right. Have you been- You go get a shared room at the strip club. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to bleep that out. I don't think you're in control of what gets bleeped out. Mike's been on the show twice now and he's like- Yeah, I know. We're going to bleep that. I could start making calls here. My creative input is definitely worth it. Yeah, I got pulled on this show.
00:42:16
Speaker
Mike's like, the audience is here for me. That being said, we're cutting this. Have you been to the Resorts World Casino in Queens? No. Yeah, let me tell you. There is. First of all, is New York state electric only? Like, there's no tables like people like dealers. I think that's because I've never been in Yonkers was like slots on Yonkers.
00:42:42
Speaker
Queens, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, New York, all the ones I've been had no live dealers, no tables. It's all electronic. And let me tell you, so all these fabulous things you're describing about about casinos in our state, which is fabulous.
00:42:59
Speaker
is not at World Resort Casino in Queens. It is just one floor. It's all electric. It's all slots is this and that. Like they don't have the restaurants. They don't have the clubs like this and that. Like we are lucky. We are fortunate for what we have.
Casino Experiences and Games
00:43:13
Speaker
Everybody that I know of that goes to that talks about going to the casino around here in the tri-state area, going to Foxwoods, going to Mohegan Sun. Yeah, they're not going to resorts in Queens. No, I don't see. They go to AC.
00:43:27
Speaker
Man, we have some AC stories, too. I think you can bust those out on the on the next one. The next one. Yeah. Cheesy grits. Buffalo chicken quesadilla, you know, or step in and piss at seven o'clock in the morning again. We'll get to that. Such an expert. You got to learn about pacing, man. Yeah, it's it's the ending cliff to the next one.
00:43:50
Speaker
Well, no, hold on. You can't talk about cliffhangers when you still haven't told the public who you voted for. Nah. You thought that went away, didn't you? Nah. Yeah, you thought that went away. No, yeah, I did. I did. Cut it. Victor, cut it right now. Stop it. Although, the Benny jersey there might say a thing or two. Yeah, it might.
00:44:09
Speaker
Did you watch the fight last thing did you see did you see big 47 in the building deflection? I see big for it and crew You know what the best one was do you see how happy he is right now? Yeah, he's lighting up a little bit. He is. Yeah Well, I didn't want to highlight it But I think I think at this point we really don't have to force him to say anything. I think the audience pretty much knows Yeah, right. I mean, I think it's pretty obvious
00:44:35
Speaker
You didn't like big forty seven rolling up with the crew with Elon. I'll say absolutely not. I'm with the best. So the best one of all. What a dweeb. I thought this was hilarious. Rolled up with Kid Rock and the whole fight was sponsored by Bud Light. Yeah. OK. Who Kid Rock has a personal vendetta against. Kid Rock does not have that is all for show. They don't give it like they don't actually give a shit. That's all performative as well.
00:45:03
Speaker
No, yeah, now it is, you know what I'm saying? But remember at the time he was very like Bud Light, you know. Yeah. And shot him with a couple of AR-15s, you know what I'm saying? I don't remember that part. You remember that video? No, he shot up a bunch of, you should give more kind of, he shot up a bunch of Bud Light cans. Oh, OK. Yeah. I feel like, wait, hold on. Are we talking about the same thing you were talking about last night? Yeah, UFC. They're at the UFC fight. Oh, I was talking about the Tyson fight.
00:45:32
Speaker
No, no. Did you watch the Tyson fight? I did. Well, the stream sucked. I tried to. I tried to. I also tried to. I backed out and rejoined at least six or seven times. I went to a friend's house to watch the UFC fight last night, and I was so happy that everybody was saying they were having streaming issues because I had it rolling on the phone and then rolling on the TV so I could try to go back. Which that fight sucked. Yeah, for what? Yeah. The Serrano fight was so much better. Yeah, and she got robbed. Massive.
00:46:00
Speaker
massive cut on her eyebrow. Due to a headbutt, too. Yes. And the other girl got a point docked, and she somehow still ended up winning. That's crazy to me. As an honorary bordico, what do you think about that Serana losing? Ooh. For my people and I, we are hurt deeply. Yeah. Oh, dude, you know what? You missed it. I mean, Mike used to work with her. But my mom and our coworkers were here.
00:46:30
Speaker
And I'm sure, obviously, you have a free place to stay up in Puerto Rico when you go. I now also have a free place to stay in Puerto Rico when I go. We should just go to Puerto Rico. Beautiful. We should absolutely go to Puerto Rico. Have you been? No. The week we filmed the other two podcasts, I was supposed to be in Puerto Rico. Really? Yeah. Hopefully, because you were off. Yeah. I had a flight booked and everything, and I was like, just feels weird going alone.
00:46:57
Speaker
Oh, you were gonna go by yourself. Yeah, not knowing the like I would have been able to stay where I can stay but You know, I was like I want to be able to like Explore a little bit. I don't want to have to like burden this person, you know for four days or whatever Like I don't want to go like I want to go see like the island and stuff and I'm sure she would be able to take me around like show me all the places but I was like
00:47:22
Speaker
You know, I'd feel like that might not be the best like I'd have to have another person to go see the nightlife stuff with Yeah, cuz I'd feel bad being like oh, it's I'm gonna roll out and then come back at 2 a.m. To your home Like this isn't an Airbnb like this is where you live and I'm like unlocking the gate or whatever But you could have got an Airbnb though still yeah, I mean, I understand I wouldn't want to go alone. Have you ever should have you ever took a trip by yourself? No, I guys ever took I've had trips planned to go by myself and backed out like
00:47:51
Speaker
Was like two years ago. I was gonna go to Portugal by myself backed out This year I was gonna go to Puerto Rico by myself backed out. I just don't have the balls to do it It's tough. I'm like if you're not that kind of person Yeah, you need other people to be to really have a good time. Yeah, but yeah, I did two six-month trips That's not like a vacation did have to be there
00:48:17
Speaker
You were doing other things. You were working. But when you were in Arkansas, you went out and about. You were in Texas, Oklahoma. You did all that stuff. You could blend in in those places. I can't. I went once to a football game. Did you try to push your liberal agenda down there? How did that work out? Surprisingly, that northwest part of Arkansas, very progressive. It's where all the young people are. I think that has a lot of college universities where you were, right?
00:48:47
Speaker
Yes, you weren't near Little Rock, right? It was like Little Rock's like southern and then yeah, I was you're like bet was a Bentonville That's that's the town that was a little bit more aggressive So I work with somebody at the hospital who's from Arkansas and goes back a lot So like she gives me all the Arkansas like hookup and stuff. So when you work there racist, no, no Don't don't say that That's horrendous
00:49:12
Speaker
She's so nice. Hold on, sorry, back to it. I was pleasantly surprised with that area, but I really didn't do anything. We went to the football game, which we went to in Texas.
00:49:24
Speaker
You went to Dallas, you went to AT&T, didn't you? Went to the Cowboy Stadium. Jerry World. Decided that we were gonna go the night before the game. Beautiful. And so then we drove through the night, got there at 3 a.m. Beautiful. Stayed in the dirtiest hotel I've ever been in my life. We've all done it. All of two hours that we slept, got up, went to the game. I gotta tell you guys a dirty hotel story. Got out of the game, went to get breakfast, drove home.
00:49:49
Speaker
It's five hours each, six hours each. But it was worth it. Yeah, it was worth it for the story, but I'm telling you, Mike, I went to bed on the regular 9.30 p.m. every night. That's really depressing.
00:49:59
Speaker
It was not good for my mental health. When I visited you in Montreal, you did a lot of Legos. I remember you did a lot of Legos, or a lot of puzzles. At least Montreal is a better city to go out in, and you can enjoy yourself a little bit more. That sushi place? I went to that sushi place every week. I went to that. There is a Japanese place in downtown Montreal that I cannot forget about. When I go back... What's that name?
00:50:25
Speaker
Kyle bar Japanese or something like that had a weird. It's like Japanese. It was Japanese but in French So it's Kyle bar then the French work for Japanese. Okay, probably some of the best food I've ever had in my life There's a lot of good good Greek food out there But I'll tell you what the best that I like the best experience that I had with food to this day was when we got the Yaki out of the Chinese to go continue. Oh drug. Yeah. Yeah $5 Remember we biked there
00:50:54
Speaker
That was also a mistake. Dollar for the pixie bike. Because we're like, oh, it's only two kilometers this way. Boy, were we wrong. It was like, you know, not like anybody has to be told, but don't eat pasta before you ride a bike. Not good. Really not good. And it was spicy. Well, yeah. And it was hot out. Right. Oh, yeah. When I visited you that year in June and then we did it again. And when it blizzard that time.
00:51:20
Speaker
Yeah, when you parked on that mound of snow. There was nowhere else to park. Where'd you want me to go? Yeah, that's a story to tell your drive up. So, yes. So long story short. Are we good on time? Yeah, I mean, if you guys wanted to hear and go into the next one. We'll save it for the next episode. Save it for the next one. All right. It's a hard stop. Yeah, I mean, that's just how things go here. You don't want to sign off with all your sponsors or? I'm going to pee.
00:51:49
Speaker
Yeah, we don't have sponsors. I'm trying to bring back playing music through the board again to end the show. So I'm just finding something. Yeah. So we're going to end on that, guys. Love it. Mike's already gone. Yeah, Mike's not here anymore. All right, guys, we'll see you next week. Peace.
