Workplace Dynamics and Bias
00:02:55
Speaker
But I was going to say earlier, have you ever had an issue with an um employee and the boss just did not take your side?
00:03:03
Speaker
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. 150%. Like there there are people that, am I going through this right now? i know Why would I be bringing it up? I've worked in retail. Of course. Of course. I've had the boss not take my side. Absolutely.
00:03:18
Speaker
Yeah, there are just those people. And i I don't know, like, have you done this to other people? I feel like I haven't where there are just people that that you meet.
00:03:29
Speaker
Well, we'll see. There are just people that I will meet. And it's rare. It's rare. But where they have just decided
First Impressions and Relationships
00:03:36
Speaker
to not like you. Of course. Yes.
00:03:40
Speaker
They have made up their mind. course. And no matter what you do, you cannot get on their side. And obviously, you can't force someone like you. But I always at least give someone the benefit, like the introduction.
00:03:52
Speaker
I mean... Yeah, that happens. don't just immediately. and That happens in the aviation industry more than you realize. Like when you work with a crew, some crew members are like, remember, a lot of times you're meeting each other for the first time.
00:04:04
Speaker
You've never seen each other. And but sometimes you get along great. And then other times you're like, you know what? Don't like that person. No reason. No rhyme. No reason. Nothing. Don't like that person. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
00:04:16
Speaker
But usually within about 20 seconds, I can decide whether I'm going to like you or not. Sometimes my mind changes, but um usually I get along with everybody. I get along well.
00:04:28
Speaker
and' I mean, you're easy to get along with, I would say.
Conflict Avoidance and People-Pleasing
00:04:31
Speaker
I think so. Yeah. I mean, fuck those who don't, but it's fine. Exactly. We don't like those people. No, no. Yeah, they're just ah it always annoyed me because I'm definitely that. i don't know if it's an ADHD thing or something where you like. I don't like um what's the word? i don't want to say ah not controversy. I don't like um when you like clash. wait I don't like confrontations.
00:04:58
Speaker
Confrontate. I don't I don't like confrontations. um Even though I have like had my fair share of like debates on different topics and stuff, I i really don't like it. um Yeah, um I don't mind them too much. I'd rather not, but I don't mind them.
00:05:14
Speaker
Yeah, it depends. if If we're discussing a topic I'm confident about, then I'll give my two cents. But my point is that I don't, I don't know. I always try, I have like, i guess this, i don't want to say people pleaser, but I'm going to say it. Like I have kind of this people pleaser mentality. So when there is someone that is like, they've decided you are not my guy. I do not like you.
00:05:35
Speaker
I'm like, what is happening? You know, I immediately try to scrounge to fix it, but I know you can't, you can't do that with You know, I think I think a lot of that attributes to us growing up in Florida.
00:05:47
Speaker
I feel like a lot lot of my friends from Florida do try to people please, you know, just kind of like keep everything happy and sunny and stuff. um For me, 20 years in New York have ruined that.
00:05:58
Speaker
That has taken everything out of me. um I still try to make people happy, especially at work. But ah in the event that they're just, I mean, fuck off. that' That's my thing. I don't care anymore.
00:06:11
Speaker
and i dont I don't care if you cry the whole flight. I don't care if you sit there. And if you're going to be unreasonable, then there's no helping you. I'm going to go back to helping other people because there's no helping you.
00:06:22
Speaker
If you can't help yourself, then I'm not helping Yeah. um Well, I want to ask you a question first, but just ah I'm going to I'm going to try this out on the episode. I'm just going to give a little people like.
00:06:33
Speaker
Oh, a hey, penny a hey, Penny is a happy. Oh, OK, cool. Yeah, man. We should start introducing those into the economy. um But yeah, we're going to be ah talking about some some
Scheduling, Sodastreams, and Seltzer Preferences
00:06:49
Speaker
other stuff. ah We're going to talk about the Dodgers, and New York City Marathon. little catch up. We've had some scheduling conflicts, so we're going catch up a little bit. I do apologize for people that listen to us.
00:07:01
Speaker
Yeah, we we do appreciate if you're listening right now. Absolutely. Because we had we had Halloween. I was traveling. Ron is always traveling. i do it for living. That's literally what he does. Um, but I wanted well, before I ask you this question, uh, one of the things that we mentioned on a previous episode was I think our favorite sodas.
00:07:19
Speaker
Um, and we talked about Diet Coke. Yeah. Well, well, I have, I remember you saying you liked specifically the orange cream Coca-Cola. I think that is the greatest that I had a Coca-Cola, like the,
00:07:35
Speaker
Vanilla Coke is great. Vanilla Coke is phenomenal. But I think the orange vanilla Coke just takes it to that next level. Does it look like this?
00:07:51
Speaker
Oh, oh. i I kept that putting you pretty good, actually. Yeah, that was really... Oh, my God. Brought a tear to my eye, honestly. Thank you, thank you thank you. Shattered some glass. Sorry about your TV. For those who aren't seeing...
00:08:05
Speaker
I have a can. I'm going to drink some of it. Oh, God. i Just open it. On your lips, it's so good. it has like, um do you like it dare I say, an orange creamy an orange creamy flavor.
00:08:21
Speaker
I think it's fantastic. Actually, yeah, it is good. Yeah, it is pretty good, right? yeah They do a zero one as well for those, you know, watching the sugar, diabetes, things like that, or just don't want all the sugar.
00:08:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's... um and It's one of my favorite. Bubbly also does a, an orange cream seltzer, which I think is oh really, really good.
00:08:45
Speaker
I, yeah there there are so many seltzer waters out now. It's is bubbly. Your go-to bubbly. Like I like bubbly. Yes. Um, I think Hal's seltzer is better.
00:08:58
Speaker
Okay. How's they also do potato chips and stuff. I don't know if you have them out in LA. You should, I would assume you would, but, um, probably you find them a lot in bodegas and stuff here in New York. How how seltzer is pretty good.
00:09:09
Speaker
I like their flavors. Okay. I think they have a watermelon flavor, which is pretty good. I like that, yeah but, um, house is pretty good. Cause my go-to is Waterloo. i don't know if you had water. I refuse to buy Waterloo.
00:09:21
Speaker
I refuse. Okay. Can I add? No, here, here's the reason has nothing to do with the flavor. Is it, no No, no, Is it because of the commercials? No. Well, I haven't seen a commercial in a while, so I don't know.
00:09:33
Speaker
Oh, um they are so pretentious and artsy as fuck. um And I could see how that would like stray someone away. But go on. i will go This is how i I'm going to get a lot of shit for this. You might give me some shit for this. This is something you don't know about me. And I'm going to tell you and the world right now.
00:09:52
Speaker
Oh, God. I respect them 150% for what they have done. But I do not like ABBA.
00:10:05
Speaker
ABBA? The song, Waterloo.
Michael Jackson Movie Excitement
00:10:11
Speaker
Mama Mia. that is Yes, that is why I will not buy that, because I don't like ABBA. Is it because they make really good music? No, you don't like I don't like ABBA and I don't like the knit that song. I don't like any ABBA song.
00:10:25
Speaker
So yeah. No ABBA songs? No. Just no ABBAs. Just all of them are bad. I am anti-ABBA. Anti-ABBA, yeah. Wow, so do you like Cher?
00:10:36
Speaker
Cher's fine. I can tolerate Cher, yeah. I think Cher's pretty... I can tolerate Cher. i mean I mean, she gets a pass for doing Moonstruck, so she gets a pass for me. But no, I just don't like ABBA. I just don't.
00:10:48
Speaker
I don't know why. i mean, I get shit from my friends all the time and rightfully so. And I have tried to like ABBA, but I just don't. i mean, to through the Mamma Mia musical, even though it is a great show, um my ears cringe.
00:11:05
Speaker
i just I just don't like ABBA. So because of my distaste for ABBA, I will not buy Waterloo. um Seltzer. I will not. If it's there and it's the only option, I will drink it, but I will not purchase it.
00:11:21
Speaker
Is it true that ABBA only came to the States one time and then never again? i think that's true. that That sounds possible. Okay. Okay.
00:11:32
Speaker
I'm to get so much shit. Oh my God. and yeah No, it's You can see my friend. yeah You don't like ABBA? What the fuck? I'm like, oh, I just, sorry. I don't. Oh, I just don't like ABBA. I just don't.
00:11:45
Speaker
It's all right. Well, you know, you can't win them all. Yeah, maybe. But well, actually, this is a good transition because something that I've been excited about. um Did you see the Michael Jackson trailer?
00:11:56
Speaker
I did. Yeah. How do you feel? i'm I'm excited for it. I absolutely am. I absolutely am excited for it. Yeah.
00:12:09
Speaker
Yeah, i yeah i'm I'm excited for it. Absolutely. It's, ah you know, unlike ABBA, I love Michael Jackson. and Oh, dude, I was obsessed with Michael Jackson. I think I remember that, actually.
00:12:22
Speaker
No, you didn't know me in the 90s. I think I remember you telling me you liked Michael Jackson, like you were a big fan. Oh. Oh, yeah, did. That I remember. I mean, we were all big fans, but I think I remember you explicitly saying, no, I love Michael Jackson.
00:12:35
Speaker
Oh, okay. I have a crazy memory. Because I am... Well, I think ah his his nephew, Jafar Jackson, is that his name? I think so. I think his name is Jafar.
00:12:46
Speaker
He like I saw like a few um like shots of it. And there are people in the comments that are like, he doesn't look exactly like him. It's like, what do you want to clone? So um But man, he, especially when he has the sunglasses on, he is killing it. I have a few friends that did um that work like extra.
00:13:05
Speaker
They did extra work on it. And ah ah one friend of mine, he was there for the Billie Jean concert scene where like Michael Jackson had to do the moonwalk.
00:13:16
Speaker
And he said that that kid killed it every time. He had to do it like 25 times, lost the moonwalk. And he was just like, killing it. And he, I mean, he looks great. Like he's got the dancing down and I really do feel like you need like the Michael Jackson bloodline to actually do it justice. You know?
00:13:35
Speaker
I, yeah, I mean, it it looks, it looks great. I i definitely plan on seeing it. Yeah. OK, cool. and And I also heard that um I because a lot of people are asking, like, are they going to get into like the court cases stuff like, you know, the nitty, the the the negative stuff.
00:13:54
Speaker
And i had heard that through the birds of the film industry. So I can't confirm that they are not allowed to mention the like the names of the people or or mention I and I'm sure there's someone who knows better than I. They can't really go into super detail about the cases.
00:14:14
Speaker
um And I heard that in the movie they did. And now I'm hearing that they had to reshoot a whole new ending. really which yeah that i think they're doing reshoots right now but one of the coolest things that was happening with the michael jackson movie uh not too far from me there is a chucky cheese okay hear me out are you allowed to be near those ne um i'm not supposed to but there's of sprouts nearby i'm allowed to be near sprouts is that a daycare center no i'm just kidding wow um
00:14:49
Speaker
Okay. um Anyway, it i anyway, back to Michael Jackson. There is a big old building next to this Chuck E. Cheese. That's just an empty, like it used to be something. And now it's just an empty giant building.
00:15:04
Speaker
um Well, i I was, I went to Chuck E. Cheese with a guy I knew one time. He has a child. That's his. And we went to Chuck E. Cheese and that building was a, that building was a Toys R Us.
00:15:17
Speaker
Oh, like it, like, Like last year, it was full on sign things inside Toys R Us. And I was like, holy shit, they bringing it back.
00:15:28
Speaker
And it makes sense because we're right by the Chuckie. Yeah, which is why yeah they are bringing it back to the story. But guess what? Sad, sad end to the story. They weren't.
00:15:38
Speaker
And I had heard that that Toys R Us was for the Michael Jackson movie that they just, they built a Toys R Us for like ah a scene or two. They built a fake Toys R Us for the scene.
00:15:51
Speaker
Yes. And it it was like legit, dude. Like it looked like, understand you have like, they didn't, they didn't mess i understand you have that like permanent diner in Los Angeles. That's only used for movies. Like the big Lebowski used it and stuff like that. Oh, but if you're going to wait, is it the one in Burbank? Yes, I believe so. Is that far from, Oh dude. I, yeah, I, yeah. and It's like only used for movies.
00:16:12
Speaker
Um, Yep. In fact, I've shot there before. Okay, calm down. Anyway, so yeah that's awesome. I can't. So it's the orange cream. Oh, it's good. But so if you're going to build a Toys R Us.
00:16:25
Speaker
Just for that movie, motherfucker, you better open it. You better open it. know. You're supposed to bring it back just to understand. Yeah, at least do it like a pop up. I think Macy's has a little pop up um Toys R Us inside. But dude, it's like kind of sad. It's not to say. Yeah, it's like it's like two shelves of baby toys and they throw the Toys R Us logo on top of it.
00:16:49
Speaker
It's not the same. don't know. It's not. But I did. It just looks like they spent a good chunk of change on this Jack Michael Jackson movie. And it but it looks great. It looks.
00:17:01
Speaker
i It looks like they're going to be starting something. The few previews that I've seen, they look phenomenal. So I am definitely excited to see it. Absolutely. um So how was your Halloween actually?
Halloween Stories and Experiences
00:17:14
Speaker
My Halloween?
00:17:15
Speaker
I didn't do shit for my Halloween. I really did. I think I stayed in. I think I stayed in. I didn't want to. i want Why? i yeah I don't know. it was just I didn't have a costume. I was you know i was just kind of bleh.
00:17:27
Speaker
So I just stayed in. I don't think I did anything. I think oh think I watched horror movies. I don't remember what I watched. I did watch Cannibal Comedian though. That was awesome. Your movie. That was fun. How was that? That was actually really good. You liked it? did.
00:17:40
Speaker
i liked it a lot. You were really good. Oh, thanks. Yeah, you were good. um It was a lot of fun. And I, you know, fantastic. Fantastic. I, I, I look.
00:17:53
Speaker
Well, thanks. Great. I loved it. I was very, it made me laugh. um Definitely kind of got me like, oh shit. Oh shit. Moments, you know, it was fun. It fun slasher film. How was ah how is my stand-up presence? Not the jokes.
00:18:07
Speaker
Your presence? I mean, I guess I'm playing a character. You were playing a character. I guess I'm playing a character. But you played a sleazy club owner not pretty well. I think so. Yeah. I've seen those. Cool. Yeah.
00:18:19
Speaker
You did well, Rob. You did well. Yeah, so... Well, thanks. That means a lot coming from an actual comedian because ah one of the funny things in the in the movie. Well, first of all, a lot of lot of people from Florida worked on that. The director's from Florida, the lead actress from Florida.
00:18:36
Speaker
I'm from Florida. That explains a lot of Florida people. yeah ah Yeah, I'm going to take that as a compliment. And one of the things um I remember there was a scene um in the movie where i I'm doing I'm doing stand up and.
00:18:53
Speaker
ah The director. So the scene is that no one's supposed to laugh. I'm supposed to bomb because the idea is that I'm stealing someone's jokes. I'm telling them on stage and they're bombing. So i'm I'm pissed off at the comedian that I stole jokes from.
00:19:06
Speaker
Right. So. ah But so in the scene, no one's supposed to laugh. So we have all these background people there watching the show. And I think we've talked about bombing before. Of course.
00:19:19
Speaker
even though I knew they weren't supposed to laugh, it still felt really shitty when no one Yeah, it sucks. It was such a weird feeling. I'm like, no, no, this is what's supposed to happen. But it feels awkward. like you know It's not a good feeling at all. No.
00:19:36
Speaker
It's like, I always think I'm going to handle it well, but I don't know when you're on the spot. To be honest, anytime you bomb, it's not great. You're going to feel like shit afterwards.
00:19:47
Speaker
It's how you bounce back from it. That's all. It's like, okay, that was a shitty show. um Okay. but's I got another show tomorrow. I got another show in two hours. You know, that's a whole new show, a whole new different thing.
00:19:58
Speaker
I guess maybe same thing with an audition. You think you had a shit audition? Yeah. You know, you're like all right, next one. And then you get called for it and you're like, oh shit, I got right Yeah, yeah. um I used to love the thing that I hear Norm MacDonald do when he would bomb on stage.
00:20:14
Speaker
don't know if you heard this story, but basically in his early days, if he if he would do well, he would just kind of, the show would end and he would like chill in the green room. But if he bombed, he would go outside the comedy club and thank everyone for coming. He would shake everyone's hand and like, thank you for coming. And I'm just like, do you know how so Harvey Fierstein got the job on Mrs. Doubtfire?
00:20:38
Speaker
Are you familiar with that story? No. So that he was doing a show, like a comedy show with Robin Williams or something like that.
00:20:49
Speaker
And he thought to him, I think this was in San Francisco. Okay. I think it makes sense. Cause you know, it's where Robin lives, where it was filmed. And he decides for the audience that he's going to do like a prop thing. I think I'm getting the story right.
00:21:03
Speaker
He's going to do like a lesbian lumberjack kind of thing. And mind you, Robin's in the wings watching him. And Harvey completely bombs. Completely bombs.
00:21:17
Speaker
The next day, robin Robin got him to be his brother in Mrs. Doubtfire. Yeah. Wow. Something like to that extent. Yeah, I could have it kind of wrong, but yeah.
00:21:29
Speaker
So it was just a matter of like, do you think like Robin found it funny? Robin apparently was laughing in the wings the whole time. Not at the fact he was bombing. I think probably the fact that Harvey was committing so well to it.
00:21:42
Speaker
And yeah. Yeah. I mean, I mean, he, you you know, memorable. Can you make me a woman? Honey, I'm so happy. like I mean, you know, it's a very memorable role. So. Yeah.
00:21:53
Speaker
I mean, because that's like one of my favorite Frank, Frank Hillard. That's whats Frank Hillard. Yeah. Oh, that's a cool story, though, um that he like hooked him up. Yeah. Well, um...
Denver Airport Conspiracy Theories
00:22:05
Speaker
So, um... What did you do for your Halloween?
00:22:07
Speaker
Yeah, it... Oh, yeah, I didn't say my part. um Well... What did you do? We got off on a tangent. Which is what we do. Um, I flew to Colorado. Ooh, what part? Yeah, um... It was near... It was like an hour outside of Denver. Okay.
00:22:25
Speaker
In an area called... I forget. i forget Denver. But it was like... Call her up. Yeah. Um, I swear it was like named something like, don't know, white something. I don't know.
00:22:40
Speaker
But anyway, it was, uh, it was a lot of fun and, it you know, it was kind of in like a quiet town. So there wasn't like a huge party scene, but there was dress up this bar that was doing, I did. I went as Rob William. Like I did another Halloween special and it, it was, it was great.
00:22:59
Speaker
Um, And um like the group that i was with, we all kind of did hook. Well, here's it's kind of funny because we all did a hook theme. But then and we all we all stayed at this house.
00:23:09
Speaker
And I noticed that everyone I think I just took it too seriously because no there are some people that were doing like Disney Peter Pan. Some people that are just like willy nilly dressing up as a pirate. Nothing wrong with that.
00:23:22
Speaker
But I was like, guys, we were sticking to the lore of hook what's going on. Like Tinkerbell doesn't wear ah giant, you know, bright green dress. She has a short hair. It's not the fun.
00:23:35
Speaker
Yeah. it's wait What's going on here? um But no, it was fun. It was a lot of fun. um And I got, I got, I got like two compliments, which compliments are good. You know,
00:23:48
Speaker
Yeah, convulants are good. And yeah, i was in Colorado for a week. I'd never been a colorado Colorado outside of the airport. And um that's owned by the Illuminati. um ah you You probably knew that, right? Yeah, I think so.
00:24:02
Speaker
Yeah. ah Well, do you know the... Well, I mean, I'm um' um making fun, but do you know the the weird lore behind the Denver airport? No, I don't, actually. Please educate me. oh don't Oh, yeah, dude. um There's a lot of like, you know, I made fun of it that it's owned by the Illuminati, but that's like that's like real like conspiracies.
00:24:23
Speaker
And I think um I'm going to get this wrong, but I swear that the Denver airport gave a quote about it once and their quote was basically like, we're not going to say we're not.
00:24:34
Speaker
Like, I think they were trolling the conspiracy theorists a little bit. But if you drive, yeah here's here is here's actually a fact. If you drive into the Denver airport, which I never did till this time because it was always a connecting flight airport for me, and you will pass, you can look, Google it.
00:24:52
Speaker
This scary ass horse statue. Oh yeah, I've seen it. With bright red eyes. Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah. this I think it's a blue horse with scary demon eyes as you drive into the airport.
00:25:04
Speaker
And the true story behind that is that statue ended up killing its creator. I heard that a big piece of the tail fell on the creator's, the sculptor's leg and it like hit an artery and he you like basically died instantly.
00:25:17
Speaker
let out instantly. Yeah. A lot of like spooky. I think so. Oh my God. That's what the internet said. Internet.com said that. And yeah, it's just a kind of a creepy airport. It's gigantic. It's big for no reason. Yeah. Um,
00:25:32
Speaker
Yeah. Like if I'm going to get stuck at an airport, it might as well be that one. Cause at least there's like, you have the long people movers and stuff like that. yeah It's I've, I've, I've been stuck in Denver a few times, not even like, like I, like I've been stuck in Denver in the city. Like i was supposed to go and come back and I've been stuck there like twice.
00:25:53
Speaker
it's it's an It's an interesting ah airport. Interesting area. Yeah. and But that's what I did. um And yeah, it was a lot of fun. I thought I was going to be freezing my ass off, but I really didn't. I was actually fine despite being in Peter Pan tights.
00:26:10
Speaker
And ah yeah, it was good times. i love your commitment to the tights. That's awesome. I have to. I mean, they have that shot of Robin Williams, you know, like, I don't know if it was his legs or they got a double. Yeah. Whatever the case is. But um but yeah, ah this is a good transition is something that you wanted to bring up a costume I've actually seen um posted. Our kids going as six and seven. Oh, the six, seven, seven. Oh, OK.
00:26:42
Speaker
What? It came from like a kid.
00:26:47
Speaker
Yeah, I did. I did find out what it is. i mean It comes from it comes from like a song or something like that. Right. um Less less than that. It comes like uss from this kid.
00:26:59
Speaker
That's right. Yeah, go on. and I think I've heard this, but it's. It's ah it was at this like high school basketball game or something, and and the camera was just like there was someone filming the audience and they're going around to different people.
'Six, Seven' Meme and Cultural Commentary
00:27:14
Speaker
And this kid and they interviewed him, too. And he was like, I didn't know what to say. It said something random. And the camera like zoomed in on him and he just went six, seven with his hands like this. And that was it that I'm not I'm not bothered by. Like, you just say something random on the spot.
00:27:29
Speaker
But I don't understand how it picked up. Like, I guess, the you know, I know the idea is that it's random and that's kind of a joke. But I mean, it's gotten so much traction that dictionary dot com put it as the word of the year.
00:27:42
Speaker
ah is it even a word is now it is now guess dictionary dictionary.com six seven yeah what did they spell it out i think so i think they actually write six seven yeah or they might do six the numeral six and numeral seven i i don't know i do not know okay man the dictionary's however i did i did he i did hear this joke that um
00:28:11
Speaker
six seven is the new six nine because remember that joke when we told us kids what because seven eight nine i was six afraid of seven because seven eight nine so stupid yeah that's always a nice yeah stupid so at least 69 we knew what what we were talking we knew what it meant the you know there was meaning behind it six seven and
00:28:34
Speaker
How was the flight? Six, seven hours. Fuck off. Sorry. I was laughing at the... My old millennial ass. Six, seven, fuck you. yeah We suck it, okay? Fuck off.
00:28:49
Speaker
Yeah, we're yelling at yelling at clouds over there. But ah South Park did i thought a really good job. They did last night of Cartman. Yeah. Yeah. i mean yeah waiting when yeah a totally seventy but yeah but
00:29:05
Speaker
Like Cartman found it so funny that he would throw up every time he'd hear six, seven. What was it? He's he's like unconscious or something like that. And one of Trump's associates says, um yes, he's been out for about six, seven hours and he's unconscious. He goes, six, seven. And then he goes back to sleep. Yeah. yeahp Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:25
Speaker
I just watched that. The new episode. Yeah. that was that was ah That was a funny shit. But I think South Park is the only one that can get away with making fun of that and being successful. Right.
00:29:36
Speaker
also think they're getting, I don't know if you picked up on this, but in the episode they start making fun of themselves. They've done this before. don't know if they're getting tired. They've done this before. South. Oh, they have. The new episode, The Woman in the Hat, they did, um, you know, South Park sucks now.
00:29:51
Speaker
And they make a whole Bitcoin currency. Yeah. Years ago, think maybe about 10 years ago was, um, hashtag cancel South Park or something like that. So they have ah so they've done things like that to be like, oh, we fucking suck.
00:30:04
Speaker
um And they don't. we no I don't think they do. i've They've had their seasons where they weren't as great, but I've never thought they sucked. Absolutely not. ah no But yeah, maybe they are tired of it. I don't know.
00:30:18
Speaker
I think a lot of that just stems from them, which I think is why they're great, because that I like ah I kind of relate this to I know I'm going to like kind of get off topic a little bit, but it kind of reminds me of something that Jay Leno said about ah like why he doesn't spend his tonight show money.
Financial Wisdom from Jay Leno
00:30:37
Speaker
I mean, maybe he does now, but at the time he didn't. He would save his tonight show money because ah Jerry Seinfeld told him, like, you're you're afraid that you're going to lose it all and you're going to go back.
00:30:50
Speaker
You're going to go back to sleeping on floors in the comedy store. Like and I wonder if it's that that little thing in his brain that's like like and I say this with Trey Parker, Matt Stone, where it's like if they let themselves go with too much confidence.
00:31:04
Speaker
that's when the show really gets mad bad. But if they keep like, oh man, is this good? I feel like you have to question yourself. It's like a humbling thing to question yourself on quality.
00:31:15
Speaker
You know, if you just, if you just think what you do all the time is amazing, then it's good. It's going to show that. I think what they're doing is fantastic. I think they are keeping it fresh, especially with the previous episode. yeah um Cause let's be honest. Melania has not really talked about this. Uh,
00:31:32
Speaker
as much as she was in the first administration. She's just not. Right. right So I thought that I think I've heard her say two words in the last. ten Yeah. I don't think I've ever heard her really speak. I mean, I think the biggest thing she got, going she tried to be best program. And then the um which was, I think, an anti-bullying program. I could be wrong.
00:31:52
Speaker
And um then her jacket that said, I don't care. Do you like that? Got huge traction. But that ah otherwise she's kind of she kind of wanted to keep bearing away from everything for a bit.
00:32:06
Speaker
And then now I don't know
Hypothetical First Gentleman Initiatives
00:32:08
Speaker
what she's doing. I don't know. and don't really follow her. that That that brings up a question of if you were like, if your wife became president and you're the first man, first, what first is that? First gentleman. Yeah. First gentleman. Second gentleman with Kamala Harris's husband. So yeah, it'd be first gentleman. Oh, that's right. Oh, so oh, yes. Right. He would. He would get it. Yeah, that's cool. All right. I actually didn't know that ah title. um If you were the first gentleman, what do you think you would do with your time?
00:32:40
Speaker
Like, would you, I know the easy thing to do. I would. Okay. I'm i'm going to take all of the food stamps and eat them.
00:32:52
Speaker
I'm, what would I do? I, a gardening program. No, to be honest, I probably would. I don't know Maybe and invest in libraries again.
00:33:04
Speaker
i don't, I don't know. i don't know why. That's the first thing that came to my mind. Just kind of get a literacy program going again. I think I would something like that.
00:33:15
Speaker
Yeah. Something to help the future of our country. That's usually what the that office, of the first lady or the first gentleman, they usually do some type of... pro like um Michelle's whole thing was the nutrition.
00:33:29
Speaker
That was her whole thing. I would probably... Yeah, yeah, that's true. I'd probably try to bring back Nick takes over to school. I feel like schools were at peak performance at time. Slun, my principal! I would try to Yeah, I try to get guts green again. I'm giving serious answers. You go over here like, I would shave a poodle or something like that. I yeah mean, you couldn't hate me if I brought Nick back to the schools, right?
00:33:58
Speaker
a You know what? you know what i would I would want you to create more roads in Orlando and then just have a separate Nick Studios with the road leading to that. That's what would yeah That's what I would want. bring back Bring back guts. Get the kids yes physically active in activities.
00:34:15
Speaker
yeah find a way to detach from technology and use it as a tool rather than as an extension of yourself. yeah
00:34:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And I think the parents would love me. I mean, what are you going to, you know, get to bring back the am I just trying to work for Nickelodeon? Yeah, I think I think I see what you're doing there and I approve it. But yeah.
00:34:37
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. But I would think I would get parents to like me. um I did see. ah I mean, we we don't have to talk about because we don't we don't really talk about this stuff, but I did see the vice presidentator president when as his own meme. I did. And i if I liked him, i would appreciate it. Yeah, there's my political opinion.
00:34:59
Speaker
um Yeah, we don't talk politics. Yeah. um Yeah, we still don't. But um it was funny. I will give him that. It was funny. i think I think it was in good taste.
00:35:10
Speaker
yeah um Yeah. Yeah. i think it was in good taste. I'm like, okay, I see what you're doing. Now, if you would have put like cotton balls in your mouth and got him in, then that would have been really funny. That would have been a commitment to him. Yeah, yeah. But obviously he doesn't commit to anything.
00:35:25
Speaker
So, um yeah. Did I say that out loud? Fuck. Sorry. Oh, God. Oh, no. It's okay. I'll get one of our interns to cut it out. Thank you so much. Leave it Leave it in. Yeah.
00:35:36
Speaker
um Leave it Yeah, but no, I thought that was good. I think that was funny.
00:35:43
Speaker
Yeah. I think it was funny, too. um And then um some some local news for me. Oh! um And then some local news for you. This is more your my thing.
Sports Celebrations and Challenges
00:35:55
Speaker
So I'll let you speak on it. But ah the Dodgers have won the World Series. fuck off. The sports. we wait Why is it the World Series?
00:36:07
Speaker
Probably because it was our own little mind, our own little game that we did. I love baseball. Baseball is one of my favorite sports. And I guess they just there was a bigger name. Instead of saying the American Series, you say the World.
00:36:19
Speaker
I guess it was just I don't know the history that. We should probably look that up for our next episode. But um the history of it, yeah, mean it's a good name. I mean, in this case, it was a World Series because it was a different country play.
00:36:34
Speaker
Right. Yeah. We had, we had cannna can you have the Canada and Yeah. yeah um This here's an interesting fact. This is the first time in major league baseball history that the season started in a different country started.
00:36:51
Speaker
in someplace other than America and ended someplace other than America. Because the first regular season game of the season was the Tokyo series. It was the Dodgers versus, I forget who the other team was, but it was in Tokyo. So radio first regular season game was in Tokyo.
00:37:09
Speaker
And after the Tokyo series, then we came back and started the regular series in the States and stuff like that. Then came the world series where game seven was played in Toronto. So yeah, very interesting. oh However, if you want, did you watch the series at all?
00:37:23
Speaker
No, I watched just about every game. I heard about that one long game. That was an amazing, like it was a Monday night. Like I usually go to Monday night, the bar for Monday night football after football. Now i'm watching baseball.
00:37:36
Speaker
yeah okay 11th inning 12th inning 15th inning it's like 16th inning it's a 17th inning i said to my wife i wake let's go home i'm tired we go home we turn the game on it's still going on and i don't live too far from the bar but like uh-huh it was it went 18 innings it was a hell a game yes double yeah double game basically um yeah As far as a baseball series goes, as far as a world series goes, that was the best one in a while.
00:38:04
Speaker
It went head-to-head, toe-to-toe. um right I wanted Toronto to win. I've mentioned my eight for the Dodgers multiple times. um yeah so i But you know they were the better team.
00:38:18
Speaker
They played a better game at the end of the day. and you know Congrats to the Dodgers. Yeah. Like I, I would notice when I would, um, you know, uh, speaking from someone who's in l LA, that's when all the blue hats are coming out. It's the same thing with the Yankees here.
00:38:38
Speaker
It's the same They're not there all year round. no They're not there all year round. Yeah. They, they, own they know Shoney Otani. That's it. That's all they know they know. They know Aaron judge on the Yankees. That's it. They don't know anybody else.
00:38:50
Speaker
So, right whatever. That's fine. You want to wear your blue hat? I love the Dodgers. No, you don't. You don't know the Dodgers. You don't like that. You didn't go to a game. You only care because you just moved here from fucking Tulsa, Oklahoma, and that's all you care about now.
00:39:03
Speaker
Okay? But, um you know, a fan base is a fan base. Money is money, and I completely understand.
00:39:11
Speaker
Yeah, well, didn't they... When did they win it? They won the previous year, Yes, this the first back-to-back, I think, since the Yankees did it in... 99, 2000, I want to say.
00:39:24
Speaker
I think that's right. Yeah, I could be wrong. I could be wrong there. But he yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. Well, that's what's going down locally in my area. You guys have the parade already? You have the parade already, right?
00:39:38
Speaker
Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Anytime a team wins, they have a parade. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we probably did somewhere. Cool. Great. like Fantastic. I hope you're... Let's give you an applause.
00:39:49
Speaker
Yay!
00:39:53
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you, Ron. What's sports? ah we have another sports thing to talk about that you want to talk about in your neck the woods.
00:40:04
Speaker
Let's talk about it. Around that same weekend, i think it was the same weekend, we had the New York City Marathon here in... Yeah. Oh! It's a cool event. That's cool. um Yeah. Congrats to all the runners.
00:40:18
Speaker
I think it's really cool. Yeah, it's really cool. Some people work really hard um It's a hell of an event. It really is. um I also want to give a shout out to all the people who had to work and navigate around the New York City Marathon.
00:40:32
Speaker
um Because that's also really challenging. i i Personally, like just to get to the other side of the street can be a challenge. um There's one part of the marathon where they run through an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
00:40:45
Speaker
Might even be Hasidic. and Okay. have to... they have to dodge the runners and the runners have to dodge them because there's like no other way for them to get across in their neighborhood so yeah it's really great you look it up it's it's really crazy um knowing me i always have something else there's something behind that i'm trying to get to so um Yeah, yeah yeah lot't it stuff bouncing yeah. Yeah. I feel really fulfilled, man.
00:41:14
Speaker
I'm like in a good mood now. yeah i what i yeah At this point in my life, which not saying I won't do it. I have no desire to run a marathon. I'll run a 5k, maybe even a 10k. Okay.
00:41:24
Speaker
But I do not want to run 26.2 miles. I do not want to do that. No, oh you don't. no I do not want to run a marathon. No. And I respect those that do. But there's something interesting about the New York City Marathon. I know this is from me working in the city for years, you know, everywhere.
00:41:42
Speaker
Uh-huh. When you finish the marathon, whether you finish first or last, okay? If you ain't first or last, doesn't matter. You get a medal. You get it like a participation medal or completion medal. You did the marathon. Hell yeah.
00:41:56
Speaker
And that's awesome. That's fantastic. Mm-hmm. The marathon is on Sunday. If it's Wednesday and you're still wearing the fucking medal, fuck off.
00:42:08
Speaker
There is this, and maybe Yorkers, if any New Yorkers that listen to this, maybe they will agree with me. There is a weird entitlement. Some, not all runners, not all, but a lot of people get when they run the marathon.
00:42:22
Speaker
They have this, they walk in like, look at me. I have my medal. I ran the marathon. Yes, you did. Good for you. Here's your coffee. Fuck off.
00:42:33
Speaker
Are you okay with people wearing for the Absolutely. Wear it Monday even. Shit. Go to work with it. Absolutely. Okay. But if you're in the middle of the week and you're still gloating about how you ran the marathon, great. So did a shit ton of other people.
00:42:47
Speaker
Let's move on with it. People do get this attitude that they are better than you. And it's it's it's insane. Maybe they're just tired and I'm reading it wrong, but I don't think so. They become kind of asinine. It's really weird.
00:43:03
Speaker
It's it it annoys me. don't like it. um Maybe I'll run the marathon one day so I can be that asshole. But yeah. Maybe we we could run the marathon together.
00:43:15
Speaker
Only if chrome I will run the marathon. And I need exempt. i need time for this. I will run the marathon and you can if Crumble Cookie sponsors me.
00:43:27
Speaker
Ooh. Okay. Hear that crumble? Because the New York Roadrunners requires a lot of money. you like In order to do this, Maryland, you have to pay a lot of money. You have to run so many races. It is not cheap. You can't just be like, hey, if I'm paying... Yeah, you have to pay a lot.
00:43:42
Speaker
That's another reason why I'm not crazy about it is you have to pay a lot of money it. so i don't know I don't know how much. Okay, because I've done 5K. Those are fun. you do you go you go run, you have a beer afterwards.
00:43:54
Speaker
Those are fun. Those are great. yeah um Yeah. And I'm sure people have their beers afterwards, too. And over... Well, and I do it because ah in in l L.A., you know, we have all the studios and I've ran the marathon.
00:44:08
Speaker
That's the Universal Studios marathon and the and the Warner Brothers marathon. So they do it or the 5K. They do it throughout the lot. So you're you're running through Warner Brothers. and oh that's fun. It's really cool. And like, you know, Universal Studios, we have all the sets and stuff. So you're running through all those and.
00:44:26
Speaker
That's kind of why I do it too. Cause it's like, you're kind of like sightseeing and running at the
Marathon Aspirations and Traffic Woes
00:44:30
Speaker
same time. At least it doesn't get boring and you get a cool metal. Yeah, that's cool. No, no, it doesn't. So yeah.
00:44:37
Speaker
Um, I actually would love to do the New York city marathon, but I've never ran even close. Yeah. I would need ammo training. Absolutely. I would really have train. And there are, I mean, there people who are not runners and do this marathon. And i mean, my hat's off to them. I mean, you know, there are people that, you know, it's like, this is their personal goal.
00:44:56
Speaker
I'm going to run the New York city marathon. And for those people that do it and achieve it. And I feel they can gloat, but they're also, they're gloating. They don't seem asinine about it. They're just happy. They're happy. They did it.
00:45:08
Speaker
But there are people that are like, I ran the marathon. I need you to, I need you to come here like one October to see it for yourself.
00:45:18
Speaker
Yeah, I've actually to New York during the marathon before. But you didn't pick up on this, did you? Because I remember going...
00:45:26
Speaker
No, I I don't know if I ran into anyone. No pun intended. Who did it? But ah I remember like being a so being in Central Park and there being like, I mean, and it is really cool. It is. It is really cool. I mean, you you start in Staten Island, you work your way through Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and end of Manhattan. It's it's pretty cool. And you see a lot of the city. Wow. Parts of the city you would never see because, you know, there's usually cars on the on those bridges. theyre You know, it's a really cool race.
00:45:55
Speaker
Man, that's so far. yeah That's the point of the marathon. Every borough. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. And that feels like it's longer.
00:46:05
Speaker
you dont It's 26 miles. You you they start in Staten Island. Then I believe you run across the Verrazano bridge. I could be wrong. Work your way up through Brooklyn into Queens.
00:46:18
Speaker
I forget what bridge you run over to get to the Bronx. Then you go to the Bronx. Then you go down into Manhattan. And then, yeah, you end in like, I think the East side somewhere. Wow. I don't know why that sounds like 80 miles to me, but don't think I'm doing it. New York City, it's crazy because if I'm driving, it'll take me 40 minutes to go like six miles.
00:46:37
Speaker
And that makes no sense. Yeah. Yeah, that's kind of how it is here, too. You kind of have to, like, adjust, like. Yeah, LA is insane. I haven't i'm driven in LA, but, like, I was staying at a hotel in El Segundo because that's where my airline put me.
00:46:55
Speaker
And I went to go see a Rams game. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were playing the Rams. So I went to go see the Rams. Oh, you you it wasn't so fine. No, they were still playing at the Olympic flame. It was the last year they were at the Olympic flame, which is one reason I wanted to go. It was also James Winston's last year there.
00:47:10
Speaker
Yeah. So yeah, it was, I mean, I'm like, this isn't that far. Why is it taking me so long to get there? It was just weird. And there and there wasn't even traffic. That was the weird part.
00:47:22
Speaker
So I don't know, but, um, and yeah very weird out there. Very weird. Yeah, I know. I always give myself way more time than I need to go.
00:47:33
Speaker
But um staying on the topic of sports, you i did something happen with Tom Brady. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah yeah This isn't necessarily sports related, but it is a sport thing. OK, I don't know if I would ever do this, Rob.
Ethical Dilemmas and Future Tech
00:47:50
Speaker
oh Tom Brady cloned his dog.
00:47:58
Speaker
Oh, I've heard. Now it costs a lot of money to do. Obviously he is. Yeah. Like, I think it took him two years to do it. He's also invested in this company as well, but yeah, he cloned his dog.
00:48:12
Speaker
Um, do you think that's so a sign of that? You haven't, uh, of like, you haven't fully. Maybe. i mean, he's invested in the company. So he's like, I guess maybe let's see if it works. I guess. I don't know.
00:48:23
Speaker
don't know if I want to, I mean, i have a cat. My cat, Sugar. I love my cat more than anything. She's my... She's my baby. Oh, you have a cat? I'm short right now. Hold on.
00:48:35
Speaker
maybe It's my baby. Okay. It's my baby. There's my baby. Oh, yeah. Oh, now I get it.
00:48:44
Speaker
Yeah, i so, like, I see the appeal because, like, she's 18 right now. She's 18. In that photo, she's not, but she's 18. if... and if Like, when she goes, I will be devastated. i will need months and I will need not months, but I will need like a week off from work. Like I can.
00:49:00
Speaker
And yeah. And luckily, I get bereavement for my animals. So I would be I would be very, ah very upset. But what I want, even if I had the money to clone her, would I want to do that?
00:49:13
Speaker
No. No. i yeah I wouldn't want to either. Cause still don't think it's your Exactly. But especially when it comes to dogs and cats, there are so many that need to be adopted already.
00:49:26
Speaker
And I feel like I'm putting, it it sounds like I'm putting a plug in here, but this is just how I personally feel. There's so many animals that need to be adopted and, you know, give them a good home. There are a lot of great animals that need good homes. So cloning one.
00:49:40
Speaker
No, I thought I saw my cat here. Uh, cloning one. I wouldn't want to do that. No, no,
00:49:47
Speaker
Yeah, and I just don't feel like it would still be your cat. It's it's like the same reason why I would be scared to try teleportation. I know this is like a no, it's in the room. It's in the room. But um if yeah, because if if teleportation works the way I think where it breaks you down to transfer you somewhere and then puts you back together, I feel like I would have died.
00:50:12
Speaker
And whatever came out the other end not me. It's a new that's a fun take. So I, Oh, that's fun. Yeah. I would be scared to try it thinking that I would die. You are taken apart and put back together. So isn't there, don't you technically die when that happens?
00:50:27
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So I don't think I'd ever want to try to. Now I don't think it'll ever exist because of what you just said. Maybe, yeah maybe, me and you would never know. it Maybe I'd come out the other end and it's me. Maybe with an adamant, maybe with an adamant.
00:50:44
Speaker
Chipping would become a lot easier. um Right. I'd be with that. As far as a living creature, that's a good point. Ooh. I don't know. so unless don't know how you would guarantee the same consciousness, but i don't know if you could.
00:51:01
Speaker
But anyway, just a weird take. um But, you know, before we run out of too much time, wanted to mention that we got a few penetrative
Listener Questions and Party Stories
00:51:13
Speaker
questions get to. We did get penetrative questions.
00:51:16
Speaker
Yeah, and still do. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, please. Send your... Yeah. Sorry, I didn't i didn't i needed mean to be so mean. I'm so sorry. But, um... it's it's those It's those marathon runners. But while you're looking for that, we're going to dive into a segment called... Penetrating questions.
00:51:41
Speaker
Penetrating questions. Yeah. Um... Okay, now we're allowed to do it. ah Let's see. Okay. Penetrating questions. You want me to read it? I'll read the first one. I'll read them both. I don't care.
00:51:53
Speaker
I'm in a good mood today. Really? Here, I'll do the first one. You do the second. go Sure, buddy. Go ahead. Okay. Wow. Cool. Okay. um This is from...
00:52:06
Speaker
What's how you pronounce it? Chet, that Chet, Chet, Chet asks, tell us about a Halloween party that went from pumpkin carving to heart throbbing faster than a possum on a power line.
00:52:21
Speaker
Oh boy. Basically a Halloween party that was supposed to be chill. And then I carved a hole in a pumpkin and I started anyway. Oh, that's all I have. Heart throbbing faster than a possum on a power line.
00:52:34
Speaker
Um, Tell me you're from the South without telling me you're from the South. Anyway, don't know. I don't have any stories about pumpkin like you know slicing my finger open or anything like that. i um I have nothing, Rob, or anything that pissed me off. I have nothing. I'm sorry, Chet.
00:52:51
Speaker
Rob?
00:52:53
Speaker
Well, I think Chet is asking about a ah like ah Halloween party that went from like, oh, you were just going to carve pumpkins to like, it went crazy. Yeah, I don't really either. um I've been to fun Halloween parties, but you know I don't really get into too much trouble. like to i don't really There was only one time I ever went to a, this is not Halloween party, but went to a party in Spring Hill and a huge- Spring Hill? No. It was like, yeah,
00:53:22
Speaker
It was like waves of, I just described it as like waves of people growing fists. Was it Horse and Crown? just curious. No, it was someone's house. And it was getting to a point where people were just started like punching anyone. Luckily, no one went after me, but it was like, it was crazy. It wasn't a Halloween party.
00:53:42
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. But I think people were just getting attacked because they were around. I think it was just like a free for all. um Yeah. So like a food fight, but with fists.
00:53:53
Speaker
Luckily, I wasn't harmed. And was this like post high school or was this during high school?
00:54:00
Speaker
I think it was post high school, because I remember that's when I started getting into acting. And I remember had an audition the next day. And I'm like, yeah, i my this is the money, right this baby. Come on now.
00:54:11
Speaker
Right, right. So um but yeah, ah Chet, like I don't really have anything like that, um but it's a good question. But something that reminded me about this was the pumpkin carving part.
00:54:25
Speaker
i I on my algorithm, you know, you get a lot of Halloween stuff during Halloween. And one of the things that I was getting. Yeah. One of the things that I was getting was ah this life hack, apparently, where you cut the bottom of the pumpkin instead of the top and it lasts longer.
00:54:42
Speaker
Don't do that. It does not work. I, we carved our pumpkins from the bottom. And from the bottom and i the, first of all, the logic. Exactly. I love that jingle.
00:54:53
Speaker
ah And it, it just like sank immediately. Like it lasted like two days and it was gone. um So I don't know. I just wanted to throw that out there. I took the chance. Like you would with the top, you would carve the top and then you would,
00:55:09
Speaker
plug it back up like would you do that with the bottom or you just let the bottom sit open on the ground no i i plugged it back in and yeah it would just like yeah i also didn't understand the logic behind it so but i was like i'll try it and i did doesn't work out for me uh for now i'll be cutting from the top so i don't think i ever throw that out there long long since i was a kid
00:55:36
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, you should try it. It's, uh, yeah. I even cooked. That is my favorite thing to do with it. It's great. Fresh pumpkin seeds. That is my favorite thing to do with it. Yeah.
00:55:47
Speaker
Yeah. Um, cool. Thanks for, asking it a question. o this is, we have another one. Ron Burgundy. Or he wrote Ron Burgundy.
00:56:00
Speaker
Oh, wow. It's Burgundy. I don't know. It's Burgundy. I misspelling. Okay. Okay. um Well, hello again, Ronald and Rob. ron Burgundy here, avid listener, occasional jazz flutist, and full-time admirer of your fine program.
Thanksgiving Food Favorites
00:56:15
Speaker
Thank you! First off, Ronald. Wow. Real quick, the person is calling me Ronald, and okay? Okay. Which leads me to believe that this is from a previous, like my childhood, somebody from my childhood, because nobody calls me Ronald unless they've known me since like middle school.
00:56:35
Speaker
You even call me Ronald. um First off, Ronald, I must extend my sincerest apologies. You can call me Ronald, by the way. It's fine. I had no idea that my previous question could potentially get you fired. My bad old sport.
00:56:47
Speaker
I assure you there is no ill intent, just pure journalistic curiosity and perhaps a touch of Scotch-fueled wonder. Whoever's committing. Whoever's committing. he had it out for you. um Now onto my new line of inquiry.
00:57:00
Speaker
As the season of a last elastic waistbands and gratitude approaches, I must ask, what is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Are you a stalwart turkey traditionalist?
00:57:11
Speaker
Or do you prefer to dabble in the more adventurous side of the buffet? Perhaps a deep fried bird, bacon wrapped stuffing, or bourbon glazed yams? Stay classy down with DP. Burgundy out.
00:57:26
Speaker
Okay. Okay. First, let me address the me getting fired thing. um I am overly cautious because I have seen people lose their jobs over minute things.
00:57:41
Speaker
So I am very cautious on to mention anything my particular airline specific. Okay. In the event I were to get fired because of this podcast, I would take that as a sign from God, i higher power, whatever you, the individual calls it.
00:57:54
Speaker
And I will say, okay, fine. I will go on my wife's insurance and I will move forward. Anyway. However, I don't want that to happen, but I do thank you for your concern. i It wasn't you, yeah Mr. Burgundy. It was just me being overly cautious.
00:58:07
Speaker
I've even had Rob like edit shit because I'm like, I fucked up. Take that out. So yeah, it's, it's me and my caution. Um, as far as, i think, I have a few dishes that come to mind, Rob. You if you you can go first if you like. I can go first. It doesn't matter. You know what? Fuck it.
00:58:26
Speaker
I'm gonna go first. So, ah my godfather, okay, he was from Virginia, okay? Virginia Beach, I believe. His mother was an old southern woman,
00:58:40
Speaker
and Okay. Now, my godfather was married to, not married, but he was, you know, partners with my uncle for 36 years until my uncle passed. So my godfather had this, he gave my uncle this recipe and my uncle gave this recipe to my mother.
00:58:56
Speaker
It is a recipe for corn pudding. So it's not cold or anything like that. It's basically a hot custard with corn.
00:59:08
Speaker
It is oh very sun it is a southern dish. it is um It is a his it his like my godfather's mother's recipe. One of my favorite, favorite things. um like It is not Thanksgiving if I don't have that. I can have the greatest Thanksgiving, but if I'm not having corn pudding, and there have been plenty of years I don't.
00:59:28
Speaker
And I have another family member on my dad's side who makes a very good variation of it. but it's not the same. And hers is more like cornbread pudding and it's really, really good, but it's not as nostalgic for me.
00:59:40
Speaker
um Also my grandma, my dad's side made like an Italian sausage stuffing, which she made every year, at which was amazing. And her Italian wedding soup that she would make for Thanksgiving.
00:59:53
Speaker
That was phenomenal. Those, those three things, quintessential Thanksgiving dishes. But everybody's dead now, so I don't get anything anymore. have recipe for the corn pudding. Do you have the recipe for the pudding? do. And I have made it before. And no, I will not share it with you.
01:00:11
Speaker
But um i don't even I don't even know. I'm even weary about giving it to my wife. But it's not even. You can make it. I can just have some. mom But yeah, those are probably three things that.
01:00:26
Speaker
My mom had a sweet potato casserole that was really good, but like the corn pudding hits home every time. Mm-hmm. Oh, that's well, I don't really have a a recurring dish um outside of the normal, but my answer is going to be a bit more boring.
01:00:43
Speaker
ah I'm definitely a stickler for mashed potatoes. i make good mashed potatoes. ah i do say so myself. Yeah, and but I love anything that has to corn, too.
01:00:58
Speaker
because it's Colin. I love corn dishes. It has the juices. It's Colin. It has the juice. has that It has the juice. ah But yeah, i love I love corn dishes. Bacon wrap stuffing. oh What are they called?
01:01:13
Speaker
Yeah, I love all that. What's it called? Something on horseback or something? don't know It's like a bacon wrap dates or bacon wrap devils on horseback. Is that what it's called? Those are... think it's like a bacon wrap fig or something like that. no. I don't know.
01:01:27
Speaker
I know my wife is close by. If she can hear me, if that's what Devils on Horseback is, please chime in now. It is. Thank you. Thank you. um Yeah, definitely. Figs and wrapped in bacon. Those are phenomenal.
01:01:42
Speaker
With what? Well, cool. ah With cheese? Okay. I think it's cream cheese or something in it as well. I don't know. They're amazing. They're amazing. Don't forget the cheese. What else is there? um Yeah, no. i it used It is still my favorite holiday. I actually i make sure I'm off every year for Thanksgiving.
01:02:02
Speaker
My family... go, go. Actually, I just remembered... Oh, I am a big fan. not going to say it's my favorite, but I am a big fan oh cranberry. Yeah. There's just something about cranberry out can when you mix it with the the potatoes, the turkey, the green bean casserole, the stuffing and just yeah delicious.
01:02:23
Speaker
People try to come up with their, oh, this is my grandmother's cranberry. Don't care. want the i Like, falling out, I cut it into medallions, that's what I want. Beat your grandmother. Even though I do love a good homemade cranberry sauce, I really do.
01:02:40
Speaker
um It is my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday. Yeah, my family used to get together. We used to get together all the time, and then... um Every year we got together, then the family got too big.
01:02:53
Speaker
um My grandparents passed on and everyone just kind of does their own thing now. um And if any of my family members are listening, that is a ah that is an attack on you. Yes. I know. I'm just kidding.
01:03:03
Speaker
I'm just kidding. I love you guys. I i miss you. I miss them. It was nice to see everybody once a year, but now it just doesn't happen. Well,
01:03:12
Speaker
I can get more into like my Thanksgiving too, because luckily for you, since you're a fair holiday, we do have a Thanksgiving special. We will be having. Yeah, me too. Like I would love to get more into Ron Burgundy's question too, but I'm like holding back some information. I indulged a little bit, but I, there's a, I guess we could have saved that for the Thanksgiving special, but it's fine. We'll, it's a prelude to the Thanksgiving special.
01:03:36
Speaker
But um yeah, exactly. A little ah appetizer, if you will. So, um, well, thank you for the penetrating questions. i Awesome. Yeah, there is. Yeah, exactly. there's we have a few other topics. What do you want to continue them on? Or do you want to save them? What are you thinking? I know our episode's a little longer, but I want to, I want to but bring this in. I want to bring this in.
01:04:00
Speaker
Yeah, we we we can end on this one. Yeah. And then we'll I'll talk about the fire. have in beer. issue. Not issue, but you know what i mean. So okay we recently did a ah few episodes, maybe about three, four episodes ago about um Bollywood.
Cinema Culture Clash: Bollywood vs. Tollywood
01:04:15
Speaker
Bollywood and me, we did. And yes yes one of my friends actually weighed in on the Bollywood stuff. um So the movie RRR was actually Tollywood.
01:04:31
Speaker
Yeah. Not for me. So that's like yeah another area focuses cinema. I'm probably saying this wrong. It's done by... Bollywood is, I believe, the Bengali language. I think that's right. Please forgive me.
01:04:45
Speaker
um Yeah, we're learning. Please We're learning. um I'm going to research that a second. Tollywood is Telugu. telegoo I'm probably saying that wrong. I apologize. That is that language as well. He also gave me a shit ton of movies to go and watch. and Yeah, I'll send you that list.
01:05:03
Speaker
Oh, cool. they Okay, yeah, I love that. Hey, if you've been following new york City elections, Zoran Mamdani won... um the mayoral election here.
01:05:14
Speaker
He came yeah mayor He came out to, um, he came out a theme or one of the, or one of the, some of the music from the movie doom spelled D H O O M. so I thought that was cool that mom, Donnie's coming out using that kind of like, I'm not those movies.
01:05:33
Speaker
That's pretty cool. Yeah. Like score. Yeah. For the score from the movie. Yeah. So his after he won, he came out to, um, yeah. That's pretty cool. It's a an action movie with hard abs and dancing.
01:05:45
Speaker
And they've released three so far.
01:05:50
Speaker
Yeah, hard abs. Hell yeah. Okay, cool. Self-consciousness. Nice, yeah. ah But yeah. Hey. And ah if he lost, would he come out to he would score from doom starring the rock?
01:06:01
Speaker
He wasn't. ah but and I know. but yeah I'm trying to make a doom joke. Oh no. Sorry. Sorry. Correction. I looked it up on purpose. Bollywood refers to movies made in Mumbai, not the Bengali language. It's in Hindi.
01:06:15
Speaker
Mostly I, that was, yeah. Bengali is Bangladesh. So sorry. Forgive me. Um, Forgive me. it People don't really get to that part in common. Like you fucked up. No, no, no. Different cultures. We're learning. This is, it this is progression.
01:06:28
Speaker
Yeah. It's because of you, because Bombay is now Mumbai, they still call it Bollywood. That's why, but it is Hindi, not Bengali. pe Peter. I'm sorry. Yeah.
01:06:39
Speaker
Sorry, Peter. He was the one who gave me all that stuff. So sorry about that. But, um, yeah. So Hollywood is based in Mumbai and Hindi and Tollywood is Telugu, Teluga, Telugi. I got to look at that. Sounds dumb.
01:06:54
Speaker
Yeah. I lost the language. Telugu. I believe it's pronounced. I'm doing my best. Ron, you're doing your best. You you know, you're doing your best. And you know, I, to come to me with like German culture. Okay.
01:07:08
Speaker

01:07:38
Speaker
I was obsessed with the Robin Williams one. Like I saw it in theaters so many times. Yeah. But, um, so what's going on? We can end on this. What's going on with the, with the beer situation?
01:07:49
Speaker
Give us an update. So funny story. um, We were supposed to, due to crazy scheduling conflicts, um I was actually supposed to record on a layover, as you know, in ah San Francisco.
01:08:02
Speaker
Brought all my equipment, but because we were supposed to record and I was supposed to go to work in a few hours, I couldn't have my fire oven beer. So I made a separate video the night before drinking my fire oven beer.
01:08:16
Speaker
And... So it kind of, it's it's it with like I said, it was supposed to be recorded previously. So, um but we're going to attach it to this mostly because I don't have one now and I want to use that video.
01:08:30
Speaker
So yeah. um It's a cider. It's from from New York. I hope you enjoy it. Yeah. I will leave it to the video to explain everything. Cool. And thanks. all Sorry. Thanks for listening. So sorry about that. I'm learning.
01:08:46
Speaker
I feel so bad. Yeah, what I'm worried about. You're canceled. You're canceled now. Yeah. No, no. I think everyone understands. And the fact, you know, we have we have genuine interest in this, so we we want to get it right.
01:09:01
Speaker
um Now you're doing a-okay. Well, thank you. I want to say thanks to the listeners who have been listening for yeah all 10 episodes. That's wild. um And the fact that we've done it this far, I know 10 is like...

Speaker
You know, it's double digits, baby. You know, it's something to be proud of. So ah I look forward to 10 more. And um I guess we'll end on that. And then we're going to segue into the pre-recorded segment that Ron has done.
01:09:29
Speaker
And we hope to see you on the next one. Hey, everybody. You're probably wondering why I'm wearing a different colored shirt and it's not daytime.
01:09:40
Speaker
I am in San Francisco. I have to go to work soon, so I can't drink. So I decided to make a separate clip for the Weir-Avend-Bier, or in this case, Applewein, which is cider.
01:09:53
Speaker
This is the Beak & Skiff 1911 established cranberry cider. 6.7% though, which is kind high. Our unique blend of apples, New England cranberries strikes a delicate balance of sweet and tart.
01:10:10
Speaker
Okay. Prost. That's not bad. Not a lot of... Oh, there's the cranberry. There it is. That's good. That's really good. I enjoyed that. Well, um yeah, guys. Hope you enjoyed the show.
