00:01:23
Speaker
Oh, is that the guy that got busted in Romania?

Yes, he got he got arrested. I don't know much about images. He is a brother I Really don't know much about him, but you know his brother Tristan actually I love his That guy from Romania that got arrested I know nothing yeah, yeah actually what he did and what he got arrested for not true I
00:01:50
Speaker
Oh, really? No, no, it is. I'm saying that's OK. I was going to say. No, no, no. Absolutely true. That guy is a sex rafter. Yeah. No, I'm just. All right. Listen, you were right. We need we need we need a little bit more context. Yeah, more context. Yeah, we'll listen. When when and again, this is like three weeks ago. So before you guys came on the show initially, Mike was like, oh, we need topics, which I was like, yeah, sure. We need topics. Mike was like, can we talk about how men's mental health is an all time low? But that's my gig.
00:02:18
Speaker
I read that word that men's mental health is at an all-time low. I screamed that from the mountaintop because that's true. It is but you have to consider that when you like say it like that it almost like it teeters a line of being like yeah people don't respect men and that's
00:02:38
Speaker
Well, and that's why they that's why exactly, you know, it teeters a line, right? There's a way you can explain
Medication and Wellness Farm Ideas
00:02:44
Speaker
it and you're right. Listen, men's mental health is on an all time low. I'm incredibly depressed. Oh, like now I really I don't know. I don't know if that makes me a better friend or worse friend that I just laughed at that. That is because I'm depressed. I go back to me to be fair. I also left and I was like at that moment I was like, no, no, no.
00:03:07
Speaker
Yeah, you know, I'm on an SSRI, nothing crazy. A little five milligram, you know, start my day. And I don't know if you've heard, Mike, I know you've probably heard because, you know, you work in pharmacy, you follow RFK's teachings, but RFK actually wants to put people who aren't Adderall in, like, prison-style camps to work out, I don't know. I'm gonna pull up the quote, let me get the context here. Yeah, I never heard this. Make sure we're out there. I'm sure you haven't. I haven't.
00:03:36
Speaker
This is what you started, by the way. Where are we supposed to start with something else? No, no, we started with this. RFK SSRI. I'll just Google that quick.
00:03:48
Speaker
Let's see oh, they're all the conspiracy. Oh, these are the conspiracies I was gonna say like oh, they're all conspiracy like this is fake news. I read something wrong It's like no here are all the conspiracies that RFK jr. Promotes great all right RFK Is the depressing start yeah, I mean this is what you want to talk about man I don't want to talk about RFK. I want to talk about acknowledging men's mental health I
00:04:13
Speaker
Oh, so he's backing himself into a corner because then he has to deny his supportive RFK. Yeah, I know. I'm going to create these wellness farms where they can go and get off illegal drugs, off opiates, but also other illegal drugs, other psychedelic drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off benzos, to get off Adderall, and spend as much time as they need, three or four years if they need it, to get re-parented, to reconnect with their communities.
00:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, and with all of that in place, no financial impact to you as a civilian. I get to go to a little prison camp for four years. Right.
Critique of RFK's Mental Health Proposals
00:04:52
Speaker
You know, get to relearn how to be a person without depression. All thanks to all men. But also the man who wants to bring up men's mental health is laughing at my depression. Do you see this crazy? But also at the same time, welfare shouldn't be a thing. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see how that lines up. Yeah.
00:05:12
Speaker
What are your thoughts on this?
00:05:18
Speaker
I'm just here so I don't get fined. You didn't want to be here. I did, but we were supposed to talk about, where did we leave off on the last one? We should have a deflection counter. Yeah. Someone in the chat write that up. Someone keep count, because I think we're at least at like 40. Yeah, there's been a lot. From the four episodes that we've done, three and a half I guess, because this isn't a full episode yet.
00:05:46
Speaker
Yeah, nobody can answer me what we left off on last one that we were supposed to pick up on on this one What all right, let's appease what do we leave up on the last one We said we were gonna talk about it. Oh his drive up to Montreal that one time. Yeah, go ahead That's not that good of a story to start isn't
00:06:12
Speaker
You purposely deflected to get us to this point and now you don't even wanna do the fucking point. We're giving you fucking smooth ass transitions here to your stories. And you're just putting hard stops on all of them. Our segways,
Moldy Pastry Incident and Social Media Reactions
00:06:28
Speaker
listen man, this is like a smooth double play. I'm throwing the ball very easily to you. All you have to do is touch the bag and throw it first. I'm standing there at first base with my hand out. Yeah, and instead you're throwing the ball into the dugout.
00:06:43
Speaker
You're hitting the umpire with this throw to first here you ever see that video
00:06:48
Speaker
It's like a guy lines out to short and the shortstop like does like a jump throw like jump spin throw like it was like a ball that was left and he had to like Recalibrate any whips it over to first and it hits the umpire in the face It's like it's like 10 feet to the left or 10 feet to the right drills the upping jaw How many people do you think in that stadium were genuinely concerned about that umpire?
00:07:16
Speaker
Oh, gotta be at least like two, right? I was going 12 strong to that umpire Took that ball for all the bad calls. Yeah, is that Angel Hernandez? I wish great. Did he retire? He did. Thank God. I think so. I'm pretty sure he did. I hope
00:07:35
Speaker
the the
00:07:54
Speaker
There's like a Twitter page. That's like um scores card where it like shows like oh, yeah All of these balls are because they made right other cause they missed Yeah, this is what your strike zone looks like according to the way you were calling the balls and strikes you Gave X amount of runs to the other team or whatever and like that's all available for like the MLB to see I'm sure they do their own statistics. Yeah, they like but Twitter's doing this giving these guys score cards and
00:08:18
Speaker
Like it's not like a gray area thing, right? Like a questionable play on the field or anything like that in football or basketball. Like there's a clear strike zone. Either you're calling them when they're in the strike zone or you're not. So for anybody to make that argument, I'm sorry. You're digging yourself a hole. And same thing with like getting to first base. You either get there before the throw does or you don't. Right. It's not that subjective. Let's slow it down. We can tell you. We can go free.
00:08:48
Speaker
Again, it's like I understand what Angel is saying and I wouldn't be shocked if there's some underlying racism or whatever as in most institutions. Nah man, you just sucked at your job. Hate to break it to you. God, I love it.
00:09:08
Speaker
I'll tell you a story about sucking at your job. Remember the... Hold on. Pause there. Everybody think about what could be next. Yeah. No, it was about... Remember that screenshot I showed you guys? I sent you guys about my bad pastry that I had.
00:09:29
Speaker
Oh yeah, you went Karen mode on this man, that's crazy. You're too young to do that. I gotta be honest with you. The hairline's still pretty forward. You don't gotta wear a hat like me or Austin. You shouldn't be writing on Facebook forums like that. You don't need to wear a hat though.
00:09:48
Speaker
I don't think he does either but Vic was not wearing a hat until he started setting up and then he put a hat on because I looked like I'd been moving around and like saying bye to people cuz there's a bunch of people over the house and like setting all the equipment up and my hair started to frizz a little bit so like it started getting really curly on this side and I was like that looks like shit I'm gonna put a hat on yeah yeah I'm not agreeing with it because I haven't seen it but I don't think it looks bad it didn't look that bad but I was like I'm gonna be on camera I might as well just hide it
00:10:17
Speaker
If we were just doing this, I mean, I know that feeling. I also just don't want to deal with my hair. So I throw a hat on. I don't know if I look good in hats. I never really tried it. I don't think I've ever seen you in anything. You wear beanie. Yeah. Yeah. I wear beanies, but that's that's rare. Don't wear that for like fun.
00:10:31
Speaker
Yeah, that's pretty rare. I don't know. I never did hats. I never got into them. When I landscaped, I did, but I never did it the front. I did it in the back. You also don't have the same... Vic and I, he'd say we got big noggins. You think I don't? No, you don't have a big head. Not really.
00:10:52
Speaker
Yeah, I mean you got other problems, but you don't got a lot of problems. Oh, man. You can't do that. You can't steal that from me. You make a joke and you're like, yeah, you got a lot of problems. Makes me feel bad.
00:11:07
Speaker
You just laughed at his depression. But so did you. Yeah, but so did you. Yeah, no, I did. I did start that. I did start doing that. There you go. He's doing it right now. I'm laughing at you. I'm not laughing at him. You bastards. All right. So tell us about the fucked up pastry you ate. Yeah. It looked gnarly. I'll say that. It was moldy. Yeah. As shit. Yeah.
00:11:27
Speaker
So here's the story and then I'll tell the backstory to it because the backstory is the good story and it involves a place that the three of us love dearly. So the backstory is a good story that involves a place that we love dearly. So I'll tell the front story. So I went to this bakery and what are we laughing about? Is the front story a term?
00:11:51
Speaker
It's a podcast. Who gives a shit if it's a term or not? You think people care? No, but that's why we laughed. All right. We weren't. If you if you didn't bring it up, no one would have known that Austin and I shared a moment and laughed. That's right. You saying front story and they caught it on camera, too. Yeah. But the audio medium, no one would have known you had to bring it up. All right. Tell your front story. Also, the audio medium all about words. So if we're not calling you out on it. Yeah. But isn't it a good thing that I brought it up so everybody now knows that you guys had a moment about that?
00:12:21
Speaker
No, I mean that and you don't lie like you brought it up for the audience. No, I'm not saying I brought it up for the audience I'm saying but you know now everybody knows that you had a little moment about it. But now it's manufactured. Now people know. We can't have that anymore. Remember when we were just supposed to come on and just do what we usually do? We usually do. We do this twice. No, I'm just saying we're supposed to talk like we would without microphones.
00:12:44
Speaker
That's what we're doing. That's what we're doing. And now I'm just getting ridiculed. I want you to know that if the mics weren't here, it'd be a lot worse towards you right now. It really would be. Talk about getting canceled. Yeah. We'd be saying slurs. Like we always do. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Wow. So hold on. Continue with your, with your multi-patient story. Yeah, go back to your front story. Yeah, stay with the straight face and then I'll keep going, asshole.
00:13:14
Speaker
Moly history story All right, let's get through the front story We're gonna make this a thing so bakery in the next town over from my apartment
00:13:33
Speaker
I went over there. Say the name of the place. No. Docks him. You went on Facebook to post about them. No, because I got to tell the whole story first and you don't understand why. Okay. All right. I'll tell the whole story so you understand why. I went there. This is the only bakery that I have found. Obviously, in the water barrier area, there's a lot more, but where I live, this is the only bakery that I found that has pasta chots, which you guys know. I love those. Okay. But tell everybody else what that is.
00:13:59
Speaker
They call it ricotta pie. I don't I don't like calling it ricotta pie, but it's essentially it's kind of like this crown shape Pastry and inside you that put vanilla ricotta and I like the vanilla But I never remember which one I like so I always get both. I never remember every time fair enough So I just get two of each and they're still great. I love them both. I like the vanilla one better. Mm-hmm
00:14:22
Speaker
So I went to the bakery. I got two vanilla, two ricotta, and then I did the rest of my day, whatever. So I cut one open in the evening.
00:14:32
Speaker
So I cut one open in half, moldy in the inside. It was the vanilla. And I was like, oh, man. So I was like, well, I just got another one open. I cut the second vanilla moldy again, two moldy ones. And I was like, I was like, so I cut the ricotta. They were good. I really didn't want to eat them after that. Like, it just just wasn't in the mood. Just not having cutting open two pastries that are moldy would automatically get me to throw out all four.
00:14:58
Speaker
Yeah, I wouldn't even check the other because at
Generational Approaches to Conflict Resolution
00:15:00
Speaker
that because like I'm not eating yeah Yeah, it's like you just ruined my day. So the next day that was on Saturday So the next day I had to I had to come back in town I had to do some things on about so one of my stops coming back into Into town at my place was to stop at the bakery. So I stopped at the bakery and I told the people there I
00:15:19
Speaker
It was Sunday, it was later, five o'clock, six o'clock, and I told them, and I was like, hey, and I had pictures, so I showed them the pictures, I was like, look, the vanilla pasta truss, you guys have a really moldy, I'm here to tell you this, you know, like, they're bad, you know, and I cut them open yesterday.
00:15:36
Speaker
the person that I got just very like just didn't seem like they cared it was just very like oh no I'll make a note of it no problem thank you so much for telling me and like just like wasn't working with me you weren't satisfied I was not satisfied because the first thing like we've all been in the restaurant industry we've all been in the service industry and the first thing I would do if somebody said that to me was like let's take them out of the back let's check them all cut them open check them all
00:16:01
Speaker
Probably offer like a gift card something like that, but you wanted that to happen in front of you Well, I I was hoping that there would be some action instead of a oh no. Thanks for telling me okay, so I immediately recognized I was getting nowhere on this and I was like Fuck them. You know I'm saying like I'm done with them. I'm not going back to this and that take it to the streets right so I
00:16:26
Speaker
The next day, Alessandra asked me what was the update, and I told her nothing. And she basically was like, that's bullshit. She called, she told them, and she was like, they were moldy, this and that. And the person that she got was like, okay, my manager will be in today, and she'll either call you today, which is Monday, or tomorrow, on Tuesday. And like, we'll call, we'll this and that.
00:16:54
Speaker
I never got a call on Monday and I never got a call on Tuesday. So when that came, I told, I asked, I was like, they never called me, you know, I don't know what to do this and that. And I was like, you know, I could be I could be a jerk and I could just go on. You know how every town has like a town for, you know, Facebook group? I was like, I could just join the town for him and blow him up. I said, I'm not that kind of guy or you could.

Department of Homeland Security.
Censorship and Free Speech in Community Forums
00:17:26
Speaker
We love you. God bless America.
00:17:28
Speaker
So I decided to take that route and I did it because it wasn't a thing of slander. It was because I just wanted people to know. Yeah, it's a public health announcement. Like, I just wanted people to know, you know? So it's just like, hey, people, and it blew up. Like, within 12 hours, I got... Really? Yeah, I got over 150 likes. I got comments. I got people like, did you call the health department? Did you this? Did you that? It gets better. People love to have that sort of, like,
00:17:58
Speaker
I don't know what it is and I'm sure this is not what you were thinking But I think people do love to have that sort of power of like yeah, I'm sticking like I'm sticking it to this business Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna ruin this business and that will make my day better and that's not me right like I would rather hold on that was you I still did it. I still made the decision to do it. Did you call the health department? I did not call the health department. So I That's fair. I put it up
00:18:24
Speaker
Wednesday I had to be on site at work and I was in Stanford and we had a call at 11 in 1055 don't you know my phone is blowing up from that bakery they called me and so I Ignored them twice because I had a call at 11. She called me a third time so I picked up
00:18:42
Speaker
And so as the manager of that bakery and she was telling me hi, like I just got this note today, which is total bullshit. She was like, you know, I'll tell you the whole thing she said first, but she was like, I just got this note today. I want to let you know. I'm so sorry. We went through. We checked all those pastries. We checked our process. You know, it could have been, you know, we think it's a rotation problem and we checked the cream and it could have been a bad batch. So we threw that out for and telling me this whole thing that she did. Yeah.
00:19:09
Speaker
And so she goes through this whole extensive thing of how they checked. And I told the lady straight up, I was like, thank you, I appreciate you telling me. I said, but I'm not here for the explanation. How you guys handle that is how you guys wanna handle that. I said, I'm here to tell you because I'm that type of person. I'd rather this happen to me so I could tell you this happened. Then you get some scumbag that comes in guns blazing and calls the health department or whatever the case or starts making a scene at your place. You don't, hold on, you don't think that you made a scene
00:19:38
Speaker
Yeah, you put that on Facebook. You put that on Facebook. Well, here's the thing. I do think that if Mike didn't put it on Facebook, they just would have ignored it. I agree with you. Yeah. Yeah. I agree with you. This is so 100 percent. And here's why. So she tells me she goes, she goes, I want to make this right or this and that. She goes, I want to send you a gift certificate. Can you give me your address, which I'll never use? Like, I'm not using it, you know. So she's like, I'll send you a gift certificate. Can you give me your address? I'm going to mail you the mold. Yeah.
00:20:21
Speaker
Probably I'm never gonna get the certificate
00:20:24
Speaker
I didn't get it yet. This is Mike's last appearance on the podcast guys. Say goodbye. Just know if you're ever at a fundraiser and that gift certificate is in there, it's because I put that shit in there because I ain't using it. You can use it if you want. I'm not using
Podcast Promotion Strategies
00:20:41
Speaker
it.
00:20:41
Speaker
I wish people were still doing stags. I wish wedding season wasn't over. I'd use it for a stag I swear to God cuz I'm not gonna use it Austin stag in two years Hey guys, I need you guys moldy pastries
00:20:57
Speaker
So so she asked me for my name and I gave it to her and she goes oh She goes we were trying to figure out if this happened more than once or if this was an isolated Incident and she goes and you're the same name that was used on a post on Facebook Yeah, so they saw now when I was on the phone call with her while we were talking about it because it got rectified I deleted the post and
00:21:19
Speaker
Yeah. OK. Because I thought that it was sufficient how we rectified this, you know. Yeah. So I told her I was like, yes, that is me. And yes, that is true. I put that. I said, here's the reasons why I put that. I said, but since we've been on this phone, that's been deleted. If you go now and look, it's not there. And she just goes, she goes, oh, I appreciate it goes. But a vast amount of people saw it.
00:21:42
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. That's the point. Exactly. And so I didn't answer her like on that end, but I just told her that I told her that when I went on Sunday, it didn't feel like they sufficiently did what they could do to try to rectify. And so I deleted this and that and that was done. So I thought this was over. They called me. They're going to send me a gift card. It's done.
00:22:04
Speaker
That night, I get tagged on Facebook from somebody I don't know. And it's on that town forum. Somebody put a post on there and said, what happened to that bakery post? They deleted it. And somebody in that forum tagged me and says, where's your post? And so three people screenshotted it and put it in the comments. And then the comments were going nuts because they were doing
00:22:32
Speaker
censorship in America the admins took it down because they hate free speech to a point where an admin listen an admin commented and goes I checked the other admins none of us took it down so the original author had to take it down and it wasn't good enough
00:22:52
Speaker
They were still going like, this is what's the problem with America. And that post is still like, I could pull up that post right now and show you guys those comments because it goes hard. There is like 45 comments on there on a post that doesn't exist anymore.
00:23:07
Speaker
that was hard in the paint so I would I know what I signed up for by putting that on Facebook I understand that and I know that it got equally rectified
Cultural Identity and Personal Stories
00:23:17
Speaker
so I again I wasn't here to slander which is why I took it down but if these people do what they want with it now that's not my problem you know I'm saying like I can't control what happens after man sure
00:23:27
Speaker
Let me tell you so the backstory is the good one because this is how powerful we talked about this on the I think the first episode when we talked about deleting social media and all this the power of social media is immense because a couple years ago I went to our favorite ice cream place, which is what is it? Big Dipper and Prospect
00:23:53
Speaker
Okay. I went a couple of years ago to Big Dipper and Prospect with my cousin, Luigi. And we were there. And you know, the people that are working there are like fresh out of high school or high school seniors just trying to, or like college freshmen or whatever. Okay.
00:24:10
Speaker
So they're just trying to work and make some money and make tips and these these customers it was a busy day They were so rude, you know screwing up. You're screwing up the ice cream of course is like 60 year olds You're screwing up the ice cream. That's not what I wanted. I wanted to like really get into these people
00:24:29
Speaker
And so Luigi and I were just like, oh my God, people are just rude. You know, like, you know, they're just scooping fucking ice cream. Also, they're like 14. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think kids and so Luigi and I decided that we were going to join the prospect town page.
00:24:44
Speaker
And we were going to say positive things about the Big Dipper. So he went on there and was like, I just went to Big Dipper and it's really crazy how rude people are. Our customers are rude to employees. We should all practice kindness.
00:24:59
Speaker
So I commented and I was like, oh my God, I was there. Like these kids had to be no no older than 17. Like we need to do so. We all need to go to Big Dipper to support and this and that. Dude, the Big Dipper commented on my comment. It was like we strive to have the best employees and we're grateful for our town and the community stuff. But that was a positive effect. We did good things for the Big Dipper and Prospect Connecticut that day. Mike.
00:25:31
Speaker
I don't know whether to commend you for making a difference in your time. Stop right there. I think you should. No, no, no, no. Keep going.
00:25:40
Speaker
But most of me is trying really hard not to rag on you for being a 60 to 70-year-old man. Yeah, man. You are way beyond your years in terms of how you like to handle situations with businesses. Listen, soon I'm going to subscribe to the newspaper and get it delivered every day to my house. Get ready. You don't already? I should.
00:26:03
Speaker
But the way you handle the first one hey man, that's that's better than I would have handled it I probably just would have said fuck it and cut my losses just throwing all the pastries out just never gone again Yeah, but you know you did the right thing it you talked about it. You took it down when he had to you know But I have you did cause a little bit of a First Amendment uproar I
00:26:23
Speaker
Right. Are you are you proud that you contributed to disinformation in this country? Yeah. How do you feel about being about that? Yeah. Well, I'll say start using X more, you know, the free speech platform. That's right. I just think big governments stepping in the way. Really. You know, right. I think people should just have the freedom of speech. Leave it to the people.
00:26:47
Speaker
Leave it to... That's right. And the town moderators have to stop being so woke. Which is why... When you try to cancel bakeries. This is why the Department of Government Deficiency is gonna help that. Department... Deficiency. Deficiency. Yeah. Wow. That's actually... Department of Government Deficiency. Aren't they doing a little both? I mean, it is... The busiest department in the entire government is the Department of Deficiency.
00:27:17
Speaker
Anyways, sorry. No, that's that's you know, hey, you know, I commend you on that. Yeah, I mean, good on you. But also as your friend. Kind of rough, dude. OK, but will you or will you not now stop at the Big Dipper sometime this week after I said that? I'm not going to. Do they close for the winter or they open all year round? I think they're open all year round. I thought they were open all year round.
00:27:42
Speaker
Don't get me wrong. At some point, I will go back to the Big Dipper. Yeah. I mean, you're not more than ever. You're down the street. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't feel like driving over there, to be honest. I have to go to a wedding on Saturday at Aria. I think I'm going to stop at Big Dipper beforehand. Sure. Nice. I mean, if you don't at this point, then what are you really doing? Yeah, and you have to remind them that you are the one that was spreading positivity, and you would like to be compensated for that.
00:28:06
Speaker
No, I'm not here for free ice cream. I'm here to do the Lord's work. I want a case study to be done on the average age of people that commented on your post.
00:28:17
Speaker
Yeah, I'm gonna say it's 55 and up. I was minimum pretty much the same thing. We could do that research live right now. That's the beauty of the census data. I get it. Go tap into every single comment and see what the what those people look like. I told them all 12 comments that were on that. Which one?
00:28:36
Speaker
The the second one where they're like, oh big free speech is
Humorous Food Anecdotes
00:28:40
Speaker
being censored. Oh that one. Yeah They're gonna all look similar and they're gonna be the same age. Yeah, I mean if you know the demographics of walking Connecticut, you know that
00:28:58
Speaker
Yeah, you know the demographics of where Mike lives now. Yeah, it's the same thing. It was it wasn't a walk it though. It was an almost area protecting where you live, man. Yeah, not Dachshund here. And it wasn't in my town either that I currently live in. Yes, the town over which is not basically the same town. We're all talking about the same area. Yeah, I'm Connecticut.
00:29:18
Speaker
You know, all right, I'm going to cut this mainly because I'm saying that because when you when you do the best stuff. Yeah, I know. Well, the reason why I'm going to cut this is because it's pretty just it's just outright mean to Mike. This is not like a thing. You know what? Thank you. Thank you for understanding. That's two times now. Maybe maybe we'll just bleed the names. Yeah, I was just like he was sitting in the chair. Mike Mike immediately goes to the Facebook chat and he's like it's like typing something up about
00:29:49
Speaker
Something incredibly racist. Yeah, exactly. We're cutting that out, right? We gotta cut that out, right? I'm not trying to get fired. You're not gonna get fired. You don't wanna be at this place anymore. So I found it. We're bleeping the names. Yeah, so I found it. No, we're gonna...
00:30:11
Speaker
We had to cut through his story in the last episode By the way for context for everybody That we talked about bleeping something out and Victor said no for legal reasons We have to cut that out all of that way less
00:30:31
Speaker
Not as bad as what we were just talking about whatsoever, so he's just trying to cover for just my just just my dignity So Four days ago this guy said censorship. No way admin probably took it down
00:30:51
Speaker
As much as I don't condone badmouthing any businesses, sometimes it's justified after a failure and trying to resolve it between the parties. Admins should consider the value of free speech. And yeah, my purchase there was a week ago was disappointing. Two out of two items were stale and sub par. And then so the admin goes, I have checked with other administrators. None of us took down the post. The only person that could have took it down was the original author.
00:31:21
Speaker
Did you comment on the therapy? Like, hey, guys, I took the post down. So I was thinking about it because I was like, you couldn't. Bro, you. Wow. But that's what I'm saying. He contributed to disinformation. No, no. The information was true. The information was true. What happened? You let the admins take the hit for it was too late.
00:31:41
Speaker
How many people commented later and said, thank God we got RFK coming in to solve this shit? Yeah. Elon Musk will remove this wokeness. I did not contribute to disinformation. The information was true. However, by the time I would have attended to it, it was too late. They took it upon themselves. Sometimes people die in hell in a handbasket, right? It's their fault. If they want to take it this route, I can't do anything about that.
00:32:11
Speaker
That's the you know you could have you could have been like hey guys original poster here I Took the post down. We saw me in the bakery. We hash it out. We dapped up everything's cool Don't go there and do you think do you think it would have I mean it's hypothetical Do you think that actually would have stopped everything or do you think they just would have kept going because I think they wouldn't Well, they wouldn't have kept going like listen the damage sure was already done
00:32:35
Speaker
like all those people posting that be like oh they're the admins are suppressing free speech and being bakery loyalists or whatever yeah sure that would have kept happening but you going in there me like hey guys original poster we've solved it like we talked it out that's why I deleted my post
00:32:54
Speaker
Still can I have the power to still do it I mean are they still comment at this at this point is probably too but at the end of the day But at the end of the day if you know me attending to it four hours later The damage was already done these people are hot on the tape
00:33:10
Speaker
Yeah, you know you could so you could have said I I was thinking like okay you waited like two days and maybe I should Four hours you could have said something cuz then not only that but then you make everyone else look dumb I could still make them look dumb. Oh, how long has it been four days? Yeah, too late
00:33:27
Speaker
nonsense comment, but the parallels between this argument and Insurrection defense arguments. Yeah, so pretty. Why are you doing this to me? In line sounds like somebody got their talking points from a you know, conservative social site Facebook.com. That's right. What other groups do you comment on? Yeah, what are the yeah, what other groups are you in? Yeah.
00:33:56
Speaker
A Facebook group? I don't know. I don't... I don't comment and follow. Or a pretty avid Facebooker. If you don't know that, I'll top your head. Yeah. You're like a top fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aren't you a top fan of the Pittsburgh Penguins? Yeah, I am because I used to comment. Remember when I used to comment when they were trash? I mean, they're still are. Yeah, they're still pretty trash. But that was funny. That was funny. They were trashed. People wanted to hear that. Yeah.
00:34:24
Speaker
And that's how I became a top fan. You used to tell the players to go back to their countries. No, no, no, no, no, never. Listen guys, like we said, you can make your own decision on this one. Yeah. We don't really have to pull teeth here. Yeah. It's a real, real, you know, real yins are there.
00:34:43
Speaker
Yinzer yeah, I mean it's a term for people yes Yes, but you could be a yinzer and and also not tell people to go back to their country which I never did So I'm not really sure how this lines up The way you're talking about this I don't know holes getting deeper Mike Just hearing Mike say that sentence
00:35:13
Speaker
You know, I wanted to come on and talk about a wholesome topic about men's mental health. Here we fucking go again. See, that just means it doesn't matter. Your response is that you already laughed at my depression, man. Come on. Stop parading around as if you're some fucking advocate. Yeah. The fuck out of here. Oh, man. I mean, you got to get off Facebook. Yeah.
00:35:40
Speaker
any other social media yeah I did email I told you guys oh we talked about that on the first podcast I did email a state representative and tell them they're wrong yeah man that's some old man shit again here we are that's some real old man shit but you guys would agree with that one with me because it was a Republican no I still think that's all man shit yeah yeah so if you believe that somebody was saying something wrong you wouldn't speak out against it
00:36:07
Speaker
I would. I do it on this podcast all the time. Yeah. But I just don't. I'm not going to email them. So you're doing it in more of a millennial way. You're doing it in a more of a younger generation. But we're so we're doing the same thing just in different formats. I think that's why we're calling you an old man. We don't we don't disagree with speaking up. I think that we're just saying the way you go about it is very telling of your. If you were to act your age, you'd making a tick tock. Yeah.
00:36:32
Speaker
and you would do it on a video platform, or a spoken platform like this, like you just did. But you like going to Facebook, man, that's a boomer move. You're writing emails to your congressman, do you know how that fucking sounds?
00:36:45
Speaker
I tell you what, you know what you're evolving into? You're evolving into an old paisan. Yeah. No, that's a given. That's a given. This is all tracking very well, like an old hometown paisan. Listen, I'm going to mow my lawn. I'm going to mow my lawn in slacks and a button up soon. Get ready. You know what I'm saying? He's going to turn into an old paisan in more ways than one. Yeah. What does that mean? I kind of harken back to the Pittsburgh Penguins comment, if you know what I mean.
00:37:16
Speaker
I didn't make that connection, but I really wanted to. No, it's all right. You know what we'll do? We'll start our own podcast, The Three of Us, and it'll just be me indoctrinating you to become a leftist. Yeah. You guys understand that. I take things from the left and the right, right? I don't know, man.
00:37:39
Speaker
Hey, you may very well, but yeah. So what do you use for right now? Yeah. What did you take from the right from this election? Like why the right? Let's talk about the left. That's what you guys want to talk about. Well, here we go. Fucking another deflection. We up to 56. It's all right. We'll have you. We'll have you reading marks in no time. Yeah.
00:38:02
Speaker
You guys are something else. I can't believe I come back to keep doing this shit with you. You wanted to do this talking about the one static. Boys, I can't wait. I'm sitting here at work and I've got so many different podcast topics. I was. This is fun that we've been hanging out. Isn't this nice? You know, it's not nice fucking degrading me.
00:38:21
Speaker
Let's talk about that for a couple minutes, huh? Oh, nobody has an answer. Nobody has an answer. You know what the answer is? Who gives a fuck? Yeah, right. You think I give a shit? No, I don't know what this is. You act like this is a fair medium where everybody just gets their... Do you want to know what this is doing in my mental health?
00:38:39
Speaker
See I brought up a leftist topic And you guys don't want to talk about it Mike You're looking worse and worse right now Mike Yeah so that's some Kamala campaign type shit right there He's like I brought up one of those pansy ass topics You guys didn't like that? Please guys come on I'm like you Really?
00:39:02
Speaker
Mike Mike Mike makes a Facebook post about this podcast He already made tube Facebook posts trying to get people listen which is nice by the way listen That's a good thing if he did that though he'd probably get traction Yeah, no, I mean it is you should put these should put this you should be hey guys I'm the original poster from the bakery incident and I discussed the whole thing in depth on this podcast right I should all listen to it
00:39:31
Speaker
It's at X, you know, you should be like, you know, it's like 20 minutes in. Don't even try and find it. Just listen to the whole episode first. Yeah. And then some catchy titles. Yeah. How many minutes until it's considered a view or a listen? I have no clue. It could be like 10 seconds, to be honest. I don't really know. That's not a bad idea.
00:39:49
Speaker
Go on there and be like hi everybody. I explained the whole story on this episode of a podcast Yeah, but I think immediately the boomers would be like you should kill yourself Now if you were like I
00:40:05
Speaker
I did an interview with Tucker Carlson on X to discuss his bakery. Fucking the views would be up. Through the roof. Yeah. Actually, if he if he did post it, he would probably get incredible support. Yeah. Like don't let those liberal fucks. Yeah. You probably make out pretty good. Yeah. This isn't. I mean, do that. Then we got to we got to cut back in the story that we were talking about before. Or is that already that's still in which one? The Montreal one.
00:40:35
Speaker
Oh, no, that's that's a different episode. Yeah. Well, then well, then they're going to hear that. No, they won't. It's a different. They'll hear only this one. Yeah, but they might listen to this. All this benefits Victor at the end of the day. This is podcast. You can get some serious views out of this. Yeah. Serious views is like 11, man. That doesn't trust me. There's we do not get we can get you know, we get you a hundred and eleven. You know what I'm saying? Listen with Mike's reach.
00:41:03
Speaker
Listen, Mike's reach got us over 20, which is nice. There you go. Is that one of the higher grossing ones? No, we were getting like 50 or 60 an episode when we were really doing this a couple years ago. And then we just stopped for various reasons.
00:41:29
Speaker
Listen, you can always get back up there. It's tough. But yeah, I mean, that's why we're trying to do the clip stuff. But even that doesn't translate to like actual. Yeah. Have you been promoting it? Honestly, no. Yeah. I mean, I don't promote it. That's the thing. The most supportive making all the clips and stuff I thought were because that I mean, I'm interested. That is promotion. Yeah. Like it's going on TikTok and like YouTube and stuff like that. But like it doesn't track back to here.
00:41:57
Speaker
People like a lot of the stuff when I especially when I haven't been boosting it as long as you're consistent on tick-tock I've noticed like a lot of the clips will get like 20 to 30 likes, you know sometimes gets up to like 50 ish which is nice, but then none of that translates like actual follows or like people coming to the link Show or whatever like it doesn't really roll
00:42:22
Speaker
So but that doesn't mean that you're not doing something, right? Yeah, I think what we're doing is like the right method. It's just we haven't hit the We haven't hit like the algorithm correctly, right? I think maybe Mike needs to take his pants off or something like that I think that would get less views and get cancelled. So We should go ahead. I'm sorry. We should take this way. Okay. I would just say I'm saying maybe your ass sells. Yeah, I
00:42:50
Speaker
maybe you know you know we could do is we could take this on the road and do like a road tour interesting usually people have a lot more yeah listen when we get like six listens an episode and I can name five of the people
00:43:07
Speaker
It's probably hard for us to go on the road. We could do a local show here and promote it hard. Yeah. Yeah, why not? That actually probably, Mike has a lot of friends that people would show up. An actual live episode would probably not be that bad. I think Mike could get people to show up to that. You guys, too. You think that people would want to show up to a live podcast episode and listen to us just chat it? We were funny, which I think this has been pretty funny. I think we're pretty good, yeah.
00:43:36
Speaker
I mean, people do it now. It's just hard. OK, it's hard for me, like. I'm sure it's easy when you listen to somebody else's podcast. You're like, absolutely. You're fine. Right. But it's hard for me to like think. Yeah, people would definitely come out. Yeah, but listen to this. Yeah, to listen to me talk. Why not? What do we have that others don't have? I don't know. Like aren't people doing similar things that we're doing?
00:44:03
Speaker
They're telling stories. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? They're ragging on each other. We're doing the same things. Yeah. We're ragging on one specific person. Right. And that unfortunately might be might be our shtick. Yeah. Listen.
00:44:19
Speaker
I tried to show Mike some Kumptown clips to warm up. Kumptown? Yeah, you've never heard of it. I never heard of it. We'll watch some clips after, but basically one of their sticks was shitting on one of the members pretty hard. Oh, OK. And it worked for them.
00:44:34
Speaker
That's what Bobby Lee and what's his name? Andrew Santino. Yeah, they just shit on each other. Yeah. The whole podcast. Yeah, except it was more of two guys getting up on one guy every single time. OK. Yeah. So listen, kind of like this dynamic. There's a future. Yeah. Listen, like I said, we could start our own show. What would you call it? Dirty Mike and the Boys? No, absolutely not. I'm not giving Mike the credit like that. Oh. Call the other guys. The other guys. We're going to get sued?
00:45:01
Speaker
No, because that's just like a phrase. Yeah, they didn't trademark the other guys. I'd be insane. You know, that's a movie that should have did it too. Dirty Mike and the Boys would 100% be more copyrighted than the other guys. It would. That's true. I mean, we would just have to change like one word. Yeah.
00:45:19
Speaker
That movie should've been, there should've been another guys too. They made two daddy's homes. They were ready for, I think they were going to, I mean they had- That Derek Jeter! Jeter at the end was like, here's your next case, and I was like, oh sick, we're getting a sequel, and they just never did. And then they did daddy's home, and then did daddy's home too. Missed opportunity. Yeah. Great movie. I think that should be our next assignment, is we should- We should be making- We should do daddy's home three. That's right.
00:45:45
Speaker
I want to work with Mel Gibson so bad. I'm joking. Oh, yeah. I forgot Mel Gibson's in that movie. He's he's daddy. Right. He's daddy. Yeah. I don't know that he's Will Smith or Will Ferrell's dad. Right. Yeah, I think we should we should start calling Hollywood to ramp that up. I mean, in today's age, when they're rebooting everything, we should just reboot the other guys. We could. They just did a Beverly Hills Cop four.
00:46:15
Speaker
Yeah, so I mean they're gonna they'll reboot anything. That's anything at this point. So I'll be I'll be David or Sean you could be You be even Mendez's character nice Sheila Sheila you come to my house you get my wife's name You know Austin could be Austin could be the the rich banker
00:46:43
Speaker
no i'm david or shot is that all that's all i think did you want to know these people uh... by true names
00:46:52
Speaker
Maybe wolf he can be Mark Wahlberg character. What we really need to do is reboot a Ryan Gosling movie and stick Austin in there The nice guy this one the nice guys. Yeah, we could we could do that with Russell Crowe. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I can be Margaret qualities character. Yeah, maybe maybe la la land What do you think about that?
00:47:17
Speaker
Listen, I've never danced officially. Your honorary boricua, you could salsa. We're not worried about that.
00:47:28
Speaker
I mean sure like it's also kind of a crazy thing Honorary he is honorary He's never been Never been a visually stated. Yeah, listen nobody has an air not saying it Mike. I don't know if you can say I know
00:47:52
Speaker
You should ask them though, just be like, am I, do I pass, am I swaggy? Yeah, do you pass the five check? They would say absolutely not. I don't know where you got that from. Been to Puerto Rico twice. Have I danced with over half the people in the family? Absolutely. Well,
00:48:16
Speaker
So next time you see them asking be like look one to ten How is the rating of my dancing? And then we can judge off of there if you considered honorary if I was to let's say reboot La La Land as Ryan Gosling Would you watch a hundred percent of a watch would you be saying I would say that to them? Oh
00:48:38
Speaker
I mean, I hope so. They're essentially your family. I hope they will watch. They would sooner rag on me. Yeah, that's not going to go well for them. It's not going to go well. Test this. Be like, hey, guys, I'm thinking of as a side gig being an extra in a Broadway play.
00:48:59
Speaker
and just see what happens. I think that's worse. It is worse. That's why I'm telling you to see what happens. You know what they would do? They would say, that sounds like someone a white person would do. Yeah, sure. Yeah.
00:49:15
Speaker
Yikes. Big yikes. Yeah, I don't know. I think you're honored. Well, okay, so yeah, Ryan Gosselin. What other Ryan Gosselin movies could Austin star in? Drive, Blade Runner 2049, No Look. Love to do Drive. Love to just recklessly drive a car. Crazy, crazy stupid love, right? Yeah. Another him and Emma Stone joint. You could do a good Steve Carell.
00:49:43
Speaker
Me? Yeah. You think so? Don't you think so? Yeah. Who would Vic be? In that movie? No, just as any. We pinned you as Ryan Gosselin, but who would Victor be as a Hollywood actor?
00:50:00
Speaker
Simu Lu. You know who I also think of is? Stephen Yan. What's the guy from Ant-Man that was part of his robbery group? Yeah, I can't remember. I think I could. Don't know his name. Yeah. But I feel like you could fill that role really well. Obviously not from an ethnicity standpoint. I mean, just from a humorous standpoint, I feel like you could. It's sort of an ethnic. I'm ambiguous enough.
00:50:30
Speaker
Yeah, me too, I'm totally, I feel ambiguous. I'm proud of you. Thank you. Oh, okay, I've had this come up also. I've been told that I'm still not a New Yorker, nor will I ever be a New Yorker.
00:50:49
Speaker
Yeah, man, you're not gonna win that fight with those people. I don't think I will either. Which, hold on, those people sounds bad. What I mean is... Like, everybody heard that. Everyone did hear that, but I'm gonna clarify. I'm gonna clarify. Like, being in her family, like, grew up in New York. You're never gonna be seen as, like, a New Yorker to them. You know, but I feel one with the community, you know? I think this is where... What? This is where we're doing what? What did you do for the community?
00:51:14
Speaker
Yeah, these mics putting mics putting out misinformation I didn't contribute on that level. I'll never be that one with the community Okay license plate says New York do you remember the first time I went to bees house Yeah, well we were sitting by the pool like for that barbecue. Yeah, okay, what happened? we We drove down together
00:51:40
Speaker
to bees house and her parents I was like they all are very similarly built yes and I remember us driving to bees have you ever been out there and so they all look very similarly built and it's like all brownstones essentially so there's a house that has a car on cinder blocks
00:51:59
Speaker
on it. And I was like, you remember this? Yes. And I was like, and I just said casually, like, meant nothing by it. And I was like, wow, I was like, that looks pretty New York, like, have a car up on cinder blocks, you know. So he pulls up to like a couple of houses down and he was like, oh, he's like, I have to park over here and we're going to walk to bees house. And I was like, oh, which one's her? He's like, it's the car with the cinder blocks on it. I was like, oh, shit. Nice. But her whole family that day, great people.
00:52:27
Speaker
He had to slip that one in there. I think your brother was working on his car. It was a beamer, wasn't it? Yeah, blue beamer. Yeah. Yeah, I can understand. That was the last time that Mike got to go to New York. I'm not surprised. Yeah, that tracks. Yeah, but I'm not surprised they don't call you a real New Yorker. Yeah, I mean, you know. I think it's fair. I don't think I'll ever get there, unfortunately, even 10 years down the road. Well, I mean, you know.
00:52:57
Speaker
We'll qualify somebody as a New Yorker you just have to live there like you have to be born there No, I think you do have to live there for like a certain amount of years though, and then just like not have plans of like like You know what I mean like you can't I'm gonna live here for like a couple years and then like dip I feel like it's one of those things that you can get as close as you can but you're but you're not yeah You won't be seen as a real New Yorker by like the people who are like born and bred there, right?
00:53:22
Speaker
Like I want to be considered a real Pittsburgh or like I've been there all my life, but I could get as close as I want, but I'm not. I will never be one. You know what I'm saying? How many jerseys you wear and scarves you put on. That's right. Oh, oh, I'm not going to say it.
00:53:40
Speaker
Vic got a real taste of Pittsburgh life there. Yeah, it was fun, dude. I liked it. It was good. It was good. Oh, I thought it was gonna go in a different direction. He stopped it pretty fast. He was like, yeah, that was great. No, it was a really good time. I just didn't get to spend enough time in the city, and that was my fault. We gotta go. The three of us, we have to go. Yeah.
00:54:01
Speaker
We'll go we'll do like a four-day weekend. We'll go there earlier on Friday and Saturday Sunday. We'll come back on Monday. Is it the fan? Yeah. Well, the good thing is that like when I go
00:54:12
Speaker
Like we don't have to stay and hang out with my grandmother the whole time. She very much wants us to go out. Like as long as we start our day and end our day there, we do whatever we want. And she lives like three minutes away from Topgolf, you know, like 25 minutes into the city, like stuff like that. So as long as we are there at some point, she wants us to go out and do things. She's like, what are you going to do here? You know, so we can very much enjoy ourselves and then just circle back when we're done.
00:54:37
Speaker
Topgolf was a great time. Did you see that they're expanding? They're going to do basketball now? Oh yeah, I did see that. The building went to Rhode Island. Topgolf or the basketball one? I think they already have. It's the Warwick one, I think, right? Or like Kingstown. We've been there. Well, I have, sorry. It's good. I don't know about the basketball one.
00:55:00
Speaker
I can't imagine doing that. Bro, I get too sweaty. That's crazy. I can't imagine doing that either. Now they have the virtual screens. I know at the MGM in Springfield, you have the top golf screen. That's less fun. I like watching the ball travel. It's like golf, but it's also like hockey and soccer. It's all the virtual games. You got me back there with hockey. That sounds fun. Yeah, yeah. It's not just the golf screen. You could do golf, hockey, soccer, all these different sports. Dodgeball, I think, is one of them. They have now these virtual screen sets. Dodgeball, that sounds stupid. Something like that.
00:55:29
Speaker
They have lost me again. Yeah, I was there and now I'm not They did I did it at MGM in Springfield. I thought they had it in Foxwoods, too I thought they had it at one of those casinos in Atlantic City. Remember the glass one the ocean I think they had top. Yeah, they had top golf at the top of one of the oh, I thought they had the screen I thought they had the screen But now where do we go in this conversation?
00:55:54
Speaker
But no, we should go. We should do a little trip. I want to go to Puerto Rico next. Just because it's so accessible with the airports here in New Haven and stuff. Would be awesome. That I would love to do. Go on and sit on the beach, have a cerveza. I want to go to Cuba.
00:56:13
Speaker
You want to go to Cuba for a little pincho? Cuba sounds fun, too. I mean, they say Cuba's the most beautiful island in the Caribbean. Like, yes, I want to go to Puerto Rico. I want to experience it, too. But Cuba's always been fighting words. Cuba's always been. I wouldn't say all that, but you know. No hate to Cuba, but yeah.
00:56:32
Speaker
but we Americans can't go, so. I thought they lifted that. I thought we could. I didn't think so. I didn't think we could. We're getting the cigars now. Hot take. Cuban cigars? Not that great. Yeah, but maybe, maybe. I don't know. Cigars to me, they're all the same. I hate to say that.
00:56:55
Speaker
I remember at Atlantic City, you bought the longest Monte Cristo. It did. And I remember chain smoking it because we kind of have it in the Uber and I was so light headed. I was drinking. I was chain smoking that Monte Cristo. I was out like a light. Don't get me wrong. Like I'll have a cigar.
00:57:13
Speaker
But for like it's purely aesthetic right right like but if I'm having a cigar I get lightheaded or nauseous my clothes reek, right? Yeah, like there's no upside to cigars for me other than just like I must look fucking sick pre this is like pre us being able to drink
00:57:35
Speaker
We were still living at home. Remember when we went to that place in Watertown, the cigar shop? And it was just like we were the youngest guys in there. And we stayed for like an hour and then we came back and my mom and my mom is in pub. That big one. That's a nice place. And my mom had like all our friends over and we came back and they're like, damn, you guys smell like shit, bro. That's awful. And I was like, yeah, you guys are right. That wasn't fun. But they did give us free Bacardi shots just because they were like, yeah, who gives a fuck if these kids are here? Like, yeah.
00:58:01
Speaker
Just just smoke the short blondies. Oh, they'll get you by they won't make you feel like shit But the problem is you go there and it's like you and the old regulars. Yeah, there's two a.m. And they're out there Fucking reppin it and you're like, can I get a short Stogie, please? Fucking these fucking kids Yeah, man, I get it like you kind of need to place like socialize and be with your boys and doing like fun stuff like that I just don't like cigar shops
00:58:31
Speaker
Yeah Especially if you're not especially if you're not an avid smoker like we're not How many cigars they smoke a year for you know I'm saying I don't know enough You know I'm saying like I just smoked the one that doesn't taste bad So it's like but when you go to a cigar shop It's like they judge you like they watch what you're getting and if it's not a dark one they judge you and
00:58:52
Speaker
You ever have the, I feel like we had like the little cigarillos. Oh yeah. Cheyenne's. Cheyenne's. Yeah, we were younger. The vanilla ones were disgusting, dude. You were all over those, don't lie. Dude, we were freshly 18. It was like the hottest thing. You were smoking packs. It was crazy. Yeah, you were chain smoking them. Disgusting. He just wanted to be cool. Yeah. He wanted to smoke sigs without smoking sigs.
00:59:21
Speaker
And he did that. That's what he did. He did that. You sold that hard, dude. Yeah, that lasted what, two days? No, I feel like it lasted a good amount of time. Yeah. What, three days? I was going to say a couple of months. No. Yeah. Mike, you were a fiend, bro. That was not a good job. Yeah, you were a fiend.
00:59:42
Speaker
No, not true. Not true. But yeah, we should do it. We should take a trip. We should go to Pittsburgh, or we should go to Atlantic City again. I haven't been there in a while. That's a good time. I mean, Vic's down. There's casinos there, so I'm not worried about that. I mean, you want to talk about Atlantic City.
00:59:58
Speaker
Did we go to the pool party? We did Harris go to the pool party? That was a good time. Wasn't uh, Fetty Wap playing? Fetty Wap was playing and oh not the time I like there was a I think you guys went a different time Oh the time we were all weren't we all there? We took a picture together. It was just playing on the stage. No, that was just a DJ I don't think that was Fetty Wap No, Fetty Wap wasn't there. He was he I went with Michael Angel Michael Angel met Fetty Wap's uncle
01:00:22
Speaker
Okay, that's completely different thing totally different. Also, how can you verify that? Yeah? No, that's true because he This is true because you know, Michael Angel's gig like when he's in a casino he disappears So he did his classic I'm gonna use the bathroom and there's a table next to the stage so he went to go use the bathroom instead of the table for 30 minutes and then I found him and
01:00:44
Speaker
and I was like, let's roll. And then he was like, oh yeah, I met Fetty Wap's uncle. And I was like, how did you meet Fetty Wap's uncle? And he was like, oh yeah, he was sitting next to me at the table. And the guy was like, oh yeah, the music's pretty good, right? And Mike Lynch was like, yeah, I think it's Fetty Wap. Mike Lynch just doesn't know that music. And he's like, yeah, I think it's Fetty Wap. It's pretty good. I know some of the songs. He was like, yeah, I'm his uncle. And there you go. That could still begin. That could have been anybody. Yeah. But what a great story to tell.
01:01:13
Speaker
I guess, yeah. But it could have been anybody. It could have been. Made it to this podcast, though. Yeah. But what I was really saying with Atlantic City was the story that you wanted to tell about cheesy grits. Cheesy grits.
01:01:29
Speaker
And I would I would love if we had comments on this. I would love to hear everybody's opinion. I think we're running out of time there, champ. No, there's a lot that needs to be caught here, man. This is what happened to being genuine and authentic and leaving it all in. Mike, Mike, you want me to leave it on biggest?
01:01:48
Speaker
Well, what the stuff you want me to cut that Mike is having the biggest power trip I'm having fun hanging out with my friends Until I tell them to open you're stuck here that garage door is closed
01:02:08
Speaker
Alright, well give me a turkey sandwich upstairs while we do this because there's like 45 of them, alright? There is, there's a lot of sandwiches if you guys want to go eat. No, hold on. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not stopping until you mention this because I want it to be told. We have two disparaging theories on how this happened. We went to that breakfast place, we were driving down Atlantic City, we stopped in Hoboken or whatever for that breakfast place. It was in Newark. Yeah, Newark. And this wasn't separate cars. We were all together.
01:02:36
Speaker
Well, we drove separately. You were in my car. Yeah. Yes. With with others. And I don't remember who else was in my car, truthfully. But you were in there. Danielle was in there, too. Yeah. No, Danny wasn't with that. Not not the time. No, I don't. Maybe. No, you're thinking. Yeah, maybe. No, you're thinking of the time you and be when Danny was there, Michelangelo. And we hopped in his truck. We topped in Danny's truck. I know what you're talking about. Blurring all these. Yeah. Yeah. So traumatized.
01:03:03
Speaker
So we went to that breakfast place in Newark, which was a good breakfast place. And I haven't had grits in a while. So I ordered the grit. Why is that funny? Grits is good. So I ordered the grit or yeah. Grits are great. So I ordered them and I ordered cheesy grits. Right. And apparently my that's on the menu. Yeah. No idea. Why is New Jersey a state? But anyways, you know,
01:03:29
Speaker
It was a cracker barrel that we went to? No, it was just a diner. Just a regular diner? No, we're not stepping foot in a cracker barrel. You know that. Why? It's not good. I feel like it's probably all right. I haven't been in a cracker barrel in like 20 years, so I can't really judge. Anyway, sorry, continue. I ordered the cheesy grits, but my body didn't enjoy the cheesy grits. Surprise, surprise. So pick up the story where we left off.
01:03:54
Speaker
where you left off we left the restaurant we got in the truck and Mike decided that it that was the time to like I don't even know detox is maybe the right word but basically he just let it rip in that car as soon as we stepped in no
01:04:11
Speaker
courtesy like okay yeah it's fucked up like I feel like everybody knows this right if you're on a date and you ate something your your stomach didn't agree right with whatever it is that you ate you don't want to be rude you walk out to the car maybe you open the door right yeah and then on your walk around you rip some farts right like you gotta get you gotta depressurize Mike
01:04:33
Speaker
no courtesy whatsoever. In fact, he waited until we got in the car and closed the doors. And then he decided to rip ass. And it was the most foul smell that I've ever smelled in my life. No wonder why Austin rode back in my car on the way up. Yeah. No, I ripped it prior to getting in the car.
01:04:57
Speaker
Didn't feel like it once. Whatever. That's crazy. I did not. If anything, he did not seal us in. He did the rip on like the door closing. And so he just like pushed it all into the car. You know what I mean? No. There was no care in the world. No. Totally gassed all of us out. That's crazy to this day. If I see grits on a menu. Close to gag for sure, because I I I can almost taste you ruin grits for that smell. That's that's awful.
01:05:27
Speaker
That's not how it happened. Not like he was going to order grits anyways, any place. Well, who would? Who would, yeah. Grits is great. You lived in Arkansas. Cheesy grits. When you went out for breakfast in Arkansas, was there grits all over the menu? There had to have been. If there was, my mind ignored it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Grits is a popular thing and you just look past it.
01:05:52
Speaker
Maybe, but at this point, what I'm assuming is that anybody that eats grits or specifically cheesy grits is doing harm to those that they're out with. Yeah. Well, again, it's a discrepancy in the story because I did not seal us into it. You know what I'm saying? It kind of sounds like you seal them into it. Not kind of. Everybody got out of that car. Well, I mean, we had to get out of the car. Yeah. Because you hotboxed it.
01:06:22
Speaker
What? So I was driving down the the Garden State turnpike and you all were getting out. I mean, we didn't make it that far. Mike, we were in the parking lot. You ripped ass. Everybody. You were getting ready to leave and everybody's like, absolutely not. Get out of the car. No, I did not see. Listen.
01:06:38
Speaker
And then you decided to, did you get it when you were with Alessandra? Some grits? Yeah, yeah, I have. God bless you. Yeah, I actually ordered, we were on the way to Canada, this was years ago, and I ordered it when we stopped in like Saratoga Springs or something like that, right before the Adirondack. I ordered that halfway through, because I haven't had it since we went. And guess what? That, what you're depicting happened, did not happen.
01:07:05
Speaker
Is it what what else could have happened you agree that you farted you agree that you closed the door to push it into the truck? No, what else could you know? I do think that's like a Legitimate war crime against the Geneva Convention. I believe so biological like warfare like that. Yeah, it is pretty fucked
01:07:24
Speaker
But we pulled out of that, didn't we? Did you mention? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did. So actually what Mike did was right. It was totally sanctioned. If we did it, we are a gun, so. Yeah. Listen, we'll end it on this.
Food Debates: McRib vs. Lobster Roll
01:07:38
Speaker
That's a terrible way to end it. No, no, no, no. There's another topic I got here. Oh, OK. Well, listen, boys, I love you, but I got to roll out soon. No, you don't. Yes, I do. You don't control when this podcast ends.
01:07:50
Speaker
speaking of mike's terrible food choices no we're not gonna hit no we're ending on this mike you want to talk about men's mental health yeah we get to end on this yeah i will still never
01:08:04
Speaker
And I mean, ever. I don't know where this is going. Forgive you for thinking that the McRib is worse than getting a lobster roll at Panera Bread. Oh my god. That is such an insane thing to say. OK, so here we go. All Seafood Weekend in Maine stopped in New Hampshire, and the Panera Bread was serving lobster rolls. Listen. First of all, not a thing. Yeah. It was a thing. It was there. All Seafood Weekend in Maine, you were in New Hampshire.
01:08:32
Speaker
Yes, I understand. Yes, I understand. I mean, yeah, it didn't have to be all seafood weekend. Right. But it was it. Look, we talk. We we we hound this every time we're together. Is it a good lobster roll? No, it is not a good lobster roll. And you knew that before you got it. But I was willing to sacrifice it for the all seafood weekend. Do you have seafood for breakfast before getting in the car and driving up to New Hampshire? No, but that's the trip doesn't start until you get in the car.
01:09:01
Speaker
I don't I disagree. So, yeah. Like if you're on a right, if you go on the on the plane to the Philippines, if you go on the plane to Puerto Rico, if I go on the plane to Italy, am I going to start eating, you know, pursuit and salami, you know, that morning before I go? My vacation. Does that count as the start of the trip? No, it counts when you're on deck to get my vacation starts the second I punch out of work the night. Thank you. Thank you.
01:09:27
Speaker
Yes, I understand that, but that doesn't mean you start eating the cuisine of where you're going. I'm eating rice and chicken with my hands, bro. I have forks here, but I eat it with my hands because that's the Filipino way. I think the point that we're trying to get across here is Mike uses the thin veil of like
01:09:44
Speaker
kitschy cool food trends to eat disgusting things. Yeah, I think you secretly enjoy eating cheesy grits lobster. That's not a secret. I like cheese from Panera from Panera. I like grits. I did not. Again, I did not eat the lobster from Panera. Was it going to be a good lobster roll? Absolutely not. We all know this. But why did you get it? I didn't get it. Yes, I thought you did. No, no, I didn't end up getting it. But hold on. But I was I was prepared to.
01:10:14
Speaker
You would have gone that way. I would have, yes. This whole story was predicated on the lie then. Yeah. No, no, no. You said you got it. No. You did say it. We can pull up the text. No, I didn't. Guys, I did not. I was talked out of it. Now I think you're a lot less crazy. Which, thank God, by the way. I did not get it. I was talked out of it, but I was very persistent on it for the theme of all seafood weekend, but I was talked out of it.
01:10:40
Speaker
So I ended up getting the turkey Bravo. Like we always get. So, okay. The Mac and cheese, you know, the, you pick two. That sounds 10 times better. I think we still have a problem here because unchecked Mike still would have gotten it. Exactly. Unchecked. Yes. Yes. A hundred percent. That's why you need to be checked. That's why we're shitting on you. Psychotic. That sounds right. Also again, to say that it's better than the McRib also wrong, right?
01:11:07
Speaker
Which, by the way, boys, the McRib comes back to McDonald's on November 27th. Let's go! I saw a sign when I was going to pick up the food today. It was like McRib back November 27th. So 10 days. 10 days. Yeah. I think we can get a sponsorship from McDonald's within 10 days. 100%. I think so. Get some free McRibs out of this. Yeah. You've had a McRib before, right? Come on. All right. Just making sure, because I say we could play another time, get a McRib thing going.
01:11:34
Speaker
We could do a mukbang. Yeah. Where we could eat 20 McRibs. Yeah. And we put the microphones. 21 McRibs. Seven each. But the microphones are right next to our faces. 20 McRibs? 21. Seven each. Is that a thing? No. No. The genre is, but that specific number isn't. Yikes. This shouldn't be a problem to you, right? Because you enjoy eating seen amounts of disgusting food.
01:12:05
Speaker
Grits is not disgusting. Grits is good. Grits is disgusting. Have you ever had grits? Hold on. Yeah, they're nasty. When's the last time you had grits? To add cheese. That's why you put cheese in it. That's disgusting too, man. I love cheese. Putting, putting cheese in it makes it worse. Yeah. Have you had it? Cheesy grits. Have you had grits in general? I've had grits. Have you had cheesy grits? No, because I didn't like grits, so adding cheese to that. OK, well that makes sense. See, it made it sound like you never had grits before.
01:12:34
Speaker
No, no, no, no. I just make an active decision not to have something that repulsive. Yeah. Yeah. It's breakfast. Bro, do you know how good breakfast food is? Why would I get something that sucks? But we're letting the McRib slide? Because the McRib is good. It's great. Stereo. So why is this an argument? Yeah.
01:12:54
Speaker
I'm not arguing, I'm just trying to find the line. So we're accepting the McRib. McRib is good. Again, it was not going to be great.
01:13:06
Speaker
It was never supposed to be great. But it was the idea popped into your head. It was like, oh, I should do. It wasn't about boys had to be roped out of it. It was not.
Future Podcast Plans
01:13:15
Speaker
The decision was not about the quality of food. It was about the theme, the theme of all seafood. We guarantee you if you had that role at Panera, it would have ruined the rest of the weekend. Yeah.
01:13:26
Speaker
for my body either one. Yes. Well, that we know you don't care about. Yeah. We're talking about for the sake of Alessandra and anybody else that might have been with you on that trip. Yeah. Ruined. I don't know. Don't agree with that. I don't know.
01:13:45
Speaker
Listen, it's late. I gotta go to bed. Someone's coming to look at the basement tomorrow. We might get this thing remodeled. We're making an upgraded studio. New studio. Yeah. New studio. New Stu Stu. Yeah. Yeah, I gotta go home. Yeah, thank you guys again. Hey, thanks for having us. I'm happy to be here. Yeah. You know, we're always ready to come back. Yeah. If that's what the people want. Yeah. Mike, put your feelers out in the Facebook group. Yeah, put it in
01:14:16
Speaker
Yeah put it in the town Facebook group podcast not even just just self promote just not even about the topic of the bakeries. Be like hey guys I was on this podcast. I think what we should do is next podcast we do we should get some Big Dipper ice cream.
01:14:34
Speaker
I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to get Big Dipper ice cream. I think we should do the podcast at Big Dipper. I'm not going to do that. But I think you have to agree. Do you understand how much of a bitch it is to set the equipment up here? Yeah. It's time consuming. We could do it out of the trunk of the car. Yeah. Even that would be worse. Where you get power. But I think you have to agree that if you find anything wrong with the Big Dipper ice cream, part of the podcast would be writing a live review
01:15:04
Speaker
yeah of the business but there won't be anything wrong about the Big Dipper ice cream because it's fantastic it's a lot of faith yeah you would agree we would sit here and agree to that yeah could be moldy could be ice cream yeah it's frozen you can't grow mold if it's frozen well if it's been sitting out for a little bit yeah you get a little freezer burn but it's a little too warm and then you refreeze it could have mold on it
01:15:30
Speaker
Listen, Big Dipper won't do us wrong, boys. All right, guys. What a topic to end on. All right. See you guys next week.
