00:04:12
Speaker 3: Oh I'm going you go to your first watch bris.

00:04:15
Speaker 1: No co ed baby shower. I've never been to a baby shower in my life. Why am I? Why am I starting now yet? Well? Meaning like men and women were invited. Now listen, it could be a money grab, right, check out our registry. You know they feel that by you know, men and women. You know the guys inviting the guy friends. The women inviting the women friends, you get double the presents, and you you knock more stuff off the registry. I don't know. I don't know what to expect. I'm not you know obviously. Wait, man, is this a bridal shower? No? No, it's a baby shower. Oh, baby shower? Oh do guys get invited to baby showers?

00:04:59
Speaker 3: Not you You're gonna do like diaper changing games and baby bottle drinking games. That's what I understand them to be.

00:05:07
Speaker 1: I understand that that baby showers are basically, you know, everybody's opening up presents and stuff and you just sit there and go ooh ah. But they said they're not gonna be any presents here at this event. This is going to be a classy, little little luncheon and some catching up with some friends and maybe some pictures and things.

00:05:26
Speaker 3: And now I have no idea, but I don't know. I mean, I'm happy to go, I'm honored, but I can't believe.

00:05:33
Speaker 1: It's been over fifty years that I've never been to a baby shower. So I just I've heard baby shower lore of what to expect, but I feel like baby showers are more for women only. I mean not to be sexist, but the guys would just come in at the end and you know, bring all the presents to the trunk, to the car and load up the car and pull away.

00:06:00
Speaker 3: That's what I thought.

00:06:00
Speaker 1: The guy's role was be clean up crew at the end.

00:06:04

Speaker 3: You know what's great is you spent your life never wanting kids, but you still can't avoid a baby shower. Ah, how does that work? See when I was having kids, When we were having kids, right, there were no men didn't go to the baby shower. The men would get together and like go out, go to home depot kill time.

00:14:36
Speaker 1: Right, jeez, I'm in for it. I can't wait. Oh God, my boys podcast. It's gonna have a question for you. Guess right now as we record, this is very high price near me.

00:14:55
Speaker 3: It's about four fifty five a gallon. It was around two seventy five. It's gone up a lot. Everyone knows why it's it's up, doesn't really matter. And by the way, we have to talk about slice time in the next break. Anyway, So I've given you shit over the years because when you get gas, you leave the engine running. Oh And I would always say, first of all, it's dangerous. We don't have to debate that again. We already debated.

00:15:20
Speaker 1: I always thought that. I always thought that was a myth. But okay, okay, and you're wasting gas as you get gas, so your boogie bastard.

00:15:29
Speaker 3: I need to know.

00:15:30
Speaker 1: At four fifty five four sixty a gallon, are you still letting the engine run when you get gas? Yes? Oh my god? What are you doing?

00:15:41
Speaker 3: Why don't you turn the How much does gas have to be per gallon before you'll turn your engine off?

00:15:46
Speaker 1: The amount of gas you're you're wasting by idling is like the length of time you would sit at a red light. It's nominal. That's not true. Yes it is, It's very true. No, it's not.

00:15:56
Speaker 3: A red light is about two two minutes you get gas? It takes seven or eight.

00:16:00
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't. What gain stations you go into, broh, the cheap one takes three minutes.

00:16:06
Speaker 3: To fill up tops you turn your engine off. Le'd be ridiculous. Why I why I go to Taco bell, I get in line, I turn my engine off.

00:16:14
Speaker 1: You are something else, bro Why would you waste gas when you call needs gas? I don't even at these prices.

00:16:22
Speaker 3: I don't get it. Your boogie?

00:16:23
Speaker 1: Fuck? All right? Really?

00:16:27
Speaker 3: Really, you got you gotta come after me on that one. I mean now I'm gonna come after you. Yeah, yeah, I don't think.

00:16:33
Speaker 1: I don't think it makes a damn bit of difference if you shut your you shut your engine off or not. I don't. I don't think it's a safety thing there. But if you want to continue to believe that, then by all means you can go for it.

00:16:45
Speaker 3: You have the uh grammar police jingle.

00:16:48
Speaker 1: I sure do.

00:16:50
Speaker 3: I would like you to bring that up please. Oh wait, maybe I should bring that home.

00:16:54
Speaker 1: Oh no, wait, I did bring it home. I have to have that one. Ground police.

00:16:58
Speaker 3: Oh oh yeah, yeah, police, trim a police.

00:17:12
Speaker 1: What's going on, Brodie, It's been a while since we did the ground police.

00:17:15
Speaker 3: It's been a while statin dammit. Did we use that one a lot? Okay? So I'm at Pickleball. I got a bunch of pickleball stories this episode. But somebody was asking somebody else about getting a new paddle, and they said, did you already get it already? Did you already get it already?

00:17:37
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:17:38
Speaker 3: That's from the Department of redundancy department correct, Yeah, yeah, okay, so it's lexics untied. Yeah. I'm in Target and there was a couple of employees hanging around, not really working. They were kind of you know, talking, hanging around, hanging us, hanging around.

00:17:55
Speaker 1: Count crows, right, Count crows. I was thinking of beal Juice from how Stern. That's not a song though, all the memes, Hey what are you doing? No, I don't know. I'm just hanging around, hanging around.

00:18:09
Speaker 3: So they're all just talking in a group, like four or five of them, and a supervisor, the manager comes over.

00:18:14
Speaker 1: And says, hey, break up this coffee clutch. Oh that's pitiful.

00:18:21
Speaker 3: Yeah, for those who don't know why that's wrong, it's coffee clatch. Clatch, it's not a coffee clutch. I didn't want to correct the woman because she was, you know, yelling at the employees. I break up that coffee clatch. It's not a clatch. It's clutch. No, right, it's a clatch, coffee clatch. And if you don't know what a clatch is, google it and see what language it came from originally. But it's coffee clatch. And then lastly, a friend of mine who always sends me stuff sent me, Uh, he's single, and so he's on he's on the dating sites. So he saw this and thought, as a grammar person, I would find this hilarious. This woman, now, is this a deal breaker for you?

00:19:03
Speaker 1: Scary?

00:19:04
Speaker 3: Because it would be for me she wrote, looking for someone to hold my hand on a skating ring. Oh my god, that's awful.

00:19:15
Speaker 1: Although I can see where the confusion comes in because a rink, it's a rink, but people think it's a ring because it's round and rings are round and round, So I can see where.

00:19:28
Speaker 3: I bet you a lot of people get that one wrong. Okay, skating, okay, but but okay, now slices and by the way, slices if you don't know what that means, slices is what we refer to our audience, our listeners. So if you're new here, you're now slice slices. Would that be a deal breaker for you? Just like when Chandler didn't want to he broke up with a girl because she said supposedly.

00:19:53
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's terrible.

00:19:55
Speaker 3: So is that a deal breaker? If somebody said, oh, I'm going to go down to the skating ring, is that a deal breaker? Or if you say that, did we just teach you something you didn't know? So, uh, I'm saying it's fine. It'd probably be a deal breaker for me, though, I have to be honest. So uh, that's that's my My short segment on Grammar Police was those those couple of things. So so I did a bougie thing this weekend.

00:20:22
Speaker 1: No, what are the odds? But it wasn't my listen. I was invited. I was an invited guest to go down to the F one uh event, the events surrounding F one, not F one itself. But we went to Carbone Beach. Carbone is like, you know Carbone in the restaurant.

00:20:41
Speaker 3: Is it a year since we made fun of you for Carbone?

00:20:43
Speaker 1: If you remember last year at this time, I went down the Carbone Beach and I ran into Say Kwon Barkley and that we were both hed. He had the merse mer right this year, who did I run into? I ran into Alex Earl. You know who she is. Oh, yeah, she's the one feuding with Alex Cooper. Alex Cooper from Call Her Daddy.

It was, it was It was a good time, but it was raining since the minute that I landed it was pouring like a monsoon, and it was a monsoon the next day. I feel like that was the big equalizer. It's like, scary, you know, this is what you get. You're getting punished for leaving town and going to Miami. I can't wink Smith. Okay, So so yeah, the fourth time I've been to Miami now in the past few months, and the fourth time it's been just pouring rain and ugly, terrible. No South Florida like weather.

00:22:01
Speaker 3: Well slices. Here's what you don't know is he texted me, hey, And I keep in mind I saw him posting all these pictures at these bougie events and he said, he text me, he goes, I'm coming home. I don't know if I could do slice time on Monday, I said, the worst weekend it rained the whole time I was in Southeast really did it was?

00:22:59
Speaker 3: Mean, listen a little bit you did.

Speaker 1: It's a bougie item to begin with, but everyone kind of hopefully knows that that iconic look. It looks like a chest piece, but it's blue and white, it's got all kind of prints all over it. And I I was wearing a shirt that might have actually looked like the classe is old bottle, and I'm was okay with it.

00:23:17
Speaker 3: Either that or a shower curtain, one or the other. It was definitely Kurtney.

00:23:20
Speaker 1: Something like that.

00:23:22
Speaker 3: Now, did you get a lot of feedback, any positive feedback on the shirt? Anybody says, hey, no, that shirt?

00:23:29

Speaker 3: And this is why you leave your car running when you get gassed.

00:23:57
Speaker 1: White jeans and this, uh, I guess this classe Azul printed shirt. So I'm like, I think I'm doing Miami chic, right, is this Miami chic? But then like it looked it looked like a smurf exploded on you. You're terrible. Can't you give me one compliment? I thought the shirt didn't look tight, thank you? It was pretty loose on me. Yeah, yeah, I mean I noticed that. That's thank you to my friends at Orderly Med's. I've been, you know, losing all the weight so in an orderly fashion, in orderly fashion. Yeah, no, no, it's been, it's been great. But anyway, Yeah, so, so I came back from Miami devoid of sleep, and uh it's been it's been a roller coaster every ever since, there's been so.

00:24:45
Speaker 3: Much scary sys to me. Scary sys to me Monday night, here's what you're gonna do? Because I said I had I was gonna be out to dinner and I would be back around eight thirty on Monday. And he says, oh, great, eight thirty. When you get back, we'll do slice time. It'll be fantastic. We'll bang it out as soon as you get home. It's terrific. Great eight thirty. I get home. I rush home, eight thirty. I text him, no response. I call them, no response. Scary was outhold? Before eight thirty on Monday night, I.

00:25:15
Speaker 1: Was dead asleep? What would you ask? Would you expect? I got three hours of sleep the night before. We did the show in the morning. Then I was on a flight all day.

00:25:26
Speaker 3: Did you not get any sleep because it was raining? Because you're out being bougie, I was out and being Miami Sho. I was just being Miami Sheic. Did you turn the other shek?

00:25:35
Speaker 1: How would you describe I still want to know what Miami Sheik looks like?

00:25:40
Speaker 3: Is it put together an outfit?

00:25:42
Speaker 1: Because some of the people there were dressed in suits, and I'm like, well, that's not fucking Miami chic again.

00:25:48
Speaker 3: The people are the ones that are Miami chic. Let's see if I can go hold on google it, what is Miami ic?

00:25:54
Speaker 1: See what?

00:25:55
Speaker 3: Let's see what I get? Miami Shek is a fashion and lifestyle aesthetic blending tropical glamour, casual elegance, and urban sophistication that you're out reflecting Miami's vibrant, warm weather culture. It combines lightweight, breathable fabrics. I was gonna say linen. Were you wearing linen?

00:26:15
Speaker 1: It wasn't linen, but it was close, okay. Bold colors that you couldn't get any.

00:26:21
Speaker 3: Boulder prince stylish, designer driven pieces suitable for both beach side brunches and high end nightlife. Fabric and fit. Breathable, breezy and lightweight materials are essential. Colors and prints, vibrant colors, tropical prints, and sunny bright tones, but not exclusively dark colors so you don't have to wear a sport jacket. So I win. I won the night hold on Statement sunglasses. Did you have Statement sunglasses?

00:26:47
Speaker 1: It was a nighttime event. I felt like a douchebet bringing my sunglasses, but that's Miami sheek. Did you wear a k hat? No?

00:26:53
Speaker 3: Are you wearing bold elegant jewelry to complete them like a fedora? Common popular choices include tailored white jeans, were yours tailored? No styler, swimsuits, pad with beach skirts, or flowing, lightweight dresses. Hold on vibe. It's described as casual yet elegant, fresh, and unapologetically confident. By the way, I want to vomit. I don't ever want to be described as any of these things.

00:27:18
Speaker 1: That's where you and I. That's where you and I like kind of preat you know, part ways.

00:27:23
Speaker 3: I am Miami tourist cargo pants and a graphic T shirt.

00:27:35
Speaker 3: I don't wear them as dress shirts, but I'm casual in a Tommy Bahamas shirt.

00:27:38
Speaker 1: I'm not.

00:27:38
Speaker 3: I'm not ashamed to admit it.

00:27:40
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:27:41
Speaker 3: Are you more Catus Jack? No, I'm not Cattus Jack. No. No, I would say I am definitely not Miami chic.

00:27:52
Speaker 1: I'm not Brooklyn industry. How would you describe your style? Uh?

00:27:57
Speaker 3: Plaid shirt not tucked in over jeans, on pair of sneakers, a layered piece under the dress shirt, you know, like a different color maybe or coordinating color casual I do untucked. I'm on Tucket, so you're you're a Brooklyn schlub. Uh yeah, yeah, I'm Who does that guy think he is dressing like that in here? Get him out of here? That's but I'm comfortable.

00:28:22
Speaker 1: That's me.

00:28:23
Speaker 3: I don't have to. I don't worry about other people. Say, listen, scary I have We've talked about this, right, the shoes that Elvis sport us. Yep, we talked about that. I still don't feel comfortable wearing them. They're too expensive, they're too nice.

00:28:34
Speaker 1: Have you ever thought about selling them? No? I wouldn't.

00:28:37
Speaker 3: No, I would never sell anything else that Elvis bought me as a gift.

00:28:40
Speaker 1: No.

00:28:41
Speaker 3: I mean it's been a lot, it's been a lot of years. It has what was it two thousand and fourteen, fifteen something like that. I've worn them, they're still they're still in style. I've worn them on cruises because I can't get them scuffed off. There's no sidewalk. I'm not gonna step in dog poop. So I wear am on cruises, but I have not worn them in this street. Brodie's cruise shoes.

00:29:02
Speaker 1: My cruise shoes, and I still look they're blue, they're blues, and they still look news relatively news, so scary.

00:29:13
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna give you a choice here we're talking about we're talking about baby showers. Yeah right, I need everyone's opinion on this. So I went to a restaurant that's relatively new scary. You've been there, The Ugly Dumpling.

00:29:31
Speaker 1: I did the grand opening of the Ugly Dumpling, the one in min thank you jay Z. I did the one in the Touching, and there was another one in another city. That's where I did them. Yeah.

00:29:43
Speaker 3: So I went for dinner and it's not expensive. It's a lot of dim sum, you know, appetizer style Chinese food, but fresh but fresh. Yeah really, oh my god, it was so good. Anyway, the waiting area very busy. It's still new, so it's always is always aligned. We went on a Wednesday night, busy.

00:30:03
Speaker 1: Okay.

00:30:05
Speaker 3: We get there and there's a couple of benches like with no backsit them. They're like ottomans like that. Two people can sit on everyone else is standing waiting for that table to be buzzed on their on their phones on one of the benches over by the host stand. And I'm standing and I'm tired. I want to sit right John, thank you, I'm still standing. So there's a pregnant woman and her husband sitting on one of these benches for two So I'm like, oh, well, at least the pregnant woman is sitting.

00:30:37
Speaker 1: Fine.

00:30:38
Speaker 3: Well, another couple comes in and as their friends, and the pregnant woman and the guy stand up to say hi to them. All right, So I'm watching them, and now they're standing, I don't know, two or three feet away from the bench they were sitting on. Okay, So I wait five minutes, six minutes, and I say to my buddy, I'm gonna go sit down. They're clearly not sitting any longer. Go sit on the bench. My feet hurt. I'm getting tired. I have a right to sit on the bench. They're not sitting on it. So I got my friend's like, dude, that's her bench. I'm like, no, it's not. So I go and sit down on the bench and the husband sees me after like a minute, sees me sitting he goes, hey, hey, I was sitting there and I look, and he goes, and my wife's pregnant. So I said, I see that your wife's pregnant. But you've both been standing for like seven or eight minutes. I assumed you aren't going to be sitting back down. So he goes, well, we might. I said, okay, if your wife sit down, she's more than welcome to sit next to me. But you, sir, are not pregnant.

00:31:44
Speaker 1: Oh so he thought, he thought, because she was pregnant, he gets the feet past and he gets to sit with her.

00:31:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, now, my wife's pregnant, so it's our bench.

00:31:52
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, it's her she gets to sit.

00:31:56
Speaker 3: Okay, but how many minutes after she stands up, she is no longer her bench.

00:32:01
Speaker 1: Now, my friend didn't sit down. Used to make a football move. If she makes a football move, it's not her bench. Right, she moved, she hugged, she kissed. Yeah, and not her bench anymore, Not her bench, not her bench now. If she got up to stretch, I'd say, still her bench.

00:32:17
Speaker 3: Still her bench. Now. If she says to me, hey, sir, do you mind if I sit back down? Oh, I get up in a heartbeat.

00:32:23
Speaker 1: Not a problem.

00:32:24
Speaker 3: But she didn't ask me to move.

00:32:25
Speaker 1: The husband just assumed they could stand two feet away from the bench and still claim the bench. So how many minutes is it okay once she's standing for me to go over and sit down on the bench. M god, sixty seconds? Oh not even okay. I waited five or six minutes. I waited. I'm like, I don't want here once once you yet five six minutes in she got sitting down there. That's a free bench. That's anyone. That's a community bench, it's anyone's bench.

00:32:55
Speaker 3: She didn't put her bag on the bench.

00:32:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:32:57
Speaker 3: For her husband to say, the husband's like, I was sitting there. My wife's pregnant. Yeah, your wife's pregnant. Your work here is done. You dropped what you needed to drop. She's pregnant. Now she's carrying the baby. You don't get to sit now. If they had a baby and he had he was carrying the baby, he was holding the car carrier. Absolutely, the car seat, different story, yes, no, but no, the baby is in the womb. He's he's irrelevant, that's correct. And I say this as the father of three. Uh, he's not irrelevant. Irrelevant. But in terms of property of the bench, you don't get to sit dirty. Yeah, you don't know on the bench. So what did you say? I said to him? I go, I see the YOUU wife's pregnant, sir, and if she'd like to sit down, I said, but you are not pregnant, so therefore you don't need to see you stood up to this guy.

00:33:46
Speaker 1: No, I stayed sitting. I was very polite about it. You know, you know what I meant the Brook Glynn Boys podcast. We will be right baby, all right, thanks for sticking around to the commercials. Remember they pay our bills. Let's not make fun of our sponsors.

00:34:08
Speaker 3: Who would we love our sponsors?

00:34:09
Speaker 1: Well, not us, you know, well, let's that's not come down on the sponsors. Sometimes people do anyway. All right.

00:34:15
Speaker 3: Anyway, that being said, I wanted to I asked AI a very important question and I got an answer.

00:34:23
Speaker 1: I was very happy.

00:34:25
Speaker 3: So you know, you can have AI analyze things, which I did, and I asked it a specific question and I'd like to share the response I got. So let me pull it up here. Hold on, I have to pause. Okay, so you're not going to hear me, because when you're talking to it. It doesn't record when your screen recorded records the chat GPT speaking, but not me. So I asked chat GPT to look at my you know, I put my camera on, you know, selfie mode, and I said, look at me as I'm dressed up. I was going out to dinner. I said, how would you describe how old you think I am based on how I look. I'm dressed up for dinner. What do you think? So here we go, No problem at all.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: Go ahead and adjust the camera or angle yourself however you like, and once you're settled, I'll take another look and give you a fresh guess.

00:35:15
Speaker 3: No rush, just take your time. By the way, I love how you I'm.

00:35:20
Speaker 2: Taking a look now again, just a rough ballpark. I'd guess you're in your late thirties, maybe early forties. No problem at all, Ahead.

00:35:27
Speaker 1: All right, thank you chat ept.

00:35:28
Speaker 3: All right, she's flattering you. She doesn't want you to delete delete her.

00:35:33
Speaker 1: That's it. No, there you go.

00:35:35
Speaker 3: That's that's modern technology right there, analyzing and scanning.

00:35:40
Speaker 1: They're always gonna they're always gonna flatter you and humor you. They're always gonna patronize you. Do you right now? All right? And By the way, it's interesting that you have the female voice talking to you. I've got the male voice. Don't you have enough like women in your life around you? Yeah?

00:35:55
Speaker 3: But this but this one agrees with me.

00:35:57
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, so let's see what we got here.

00:36:01
Speaker 3: By the way, I changed back and forth. Sometimes I have a male voice.

00:36:04
Speaker 1: Okay, I's I never changed, never fucked with the voice of my chat ChiPT Let's let's see what we got here, all right? Uh? And what do I do here? So? So what do I say? Hey?

00:36:17
Speaker 3: So you hit you hit the speaker button.

00:36:20
Speaker 1: And say, all right, so, hey chat, I'm just hanging out here and don't have a because I do I I talked to my chat hey, so so chat listen. So about to go out? You know, I'm looking at myself in the mirror, and I'm wondering how old can I pass for it tonight? How old do I look? I just got out of the shower looking good. I just shaved. So if I turn my camera on, could you tell me how old I may look?

00:36:50
Speaker 4: I can definitely give you a friendly guess just for fun. But remember it's all about your confidence. If you turn on your camera, I'll give you an honest impression.

00:36:58
Speaker 1: Let's see all right? Now, once again, I don't I don't care about friendly. I want you to give me a game. Yeah, blunt truth. Is that cool? Remember I'm a no nonsense guy.

00:37:07
Speaker 4: Got it, no sugarcoating. If you show me, I'll give you a straight up impression. Whenever you're ready, I'm here.

00:37:14
Speaker 1: Okay, y So now what do I do? Now? How do I do this? Here? BROI just turn the just plus turn the.

00:37:20
Speaker 3: Camera the camera, put on selfie mode.

00:37:23
Speaker 1: Camera? Oh yeah, yeah, okay, all right, yep, all right, it's on. Hey, what's up close?

00:37:29
Speaker 3: Into the mic?

00:37:29
Speaker 1: See you? You see right? I do?

00:37:33
Speaker 4: Honestly, you're looking sharp. I'd say you could easily pass from mid thirties tonight. Confidence is half the game, though, so rocket mid thirties?

00:37:41
Speaker 1: Huh? What makes you say mid thirties?

00:37:44
Speaker 4: Your skin looks smooth, you got a fresh shave, and you're giving off a relaxed, confident vibe. That combo tends to read a little younger. Plus you've got a good energy going.

00:37:54
Speaker 1: Ha you like my energy?

00:37:56
Speaker 4: Then, I'm just saying what I see. You've got a lively, confident presence and that does a lot so go out there and own it.

00:38:05
Speaker 1: Age is just a number anyway. Yeah. Well, because David Brody, my friend here, she said that he was touching forty.

00:38:15
Speaker 4: Well you can tell Brody that tonight. Hey, you're gonna outshine him no matter what number's on the paper. Just have fun and let the energy to the talking.

00:38:24
Speaker 1: Oh so broke, So I should stick it to Brody then, and let him know I look like the younger man tonight.

00:38:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, by fort exactly.

00:38:32
Speaker 4: Just give him a little playful jab tell him you've got the fountain of youth on your side tonight.

00:38:37
Speaker 1: All in good fun, right, Yeah, except the only thing is he is ten years older than me.

00:38:42
Speaker 3: That is not true.

00:38:43
Speaker 4: Well, that just gives you more annover. The banter age might be a fact, but tonight you're bringing the youthful charm. Just enjoy it out.

00:38:51
Speaker 1: There, Hi, thank you bye all. It's scary.

00:38:53
Speaker 3: So therefore, if I'm in my early forties or forty, right, and your mid thirties, then if mine's accurate, yours is accurate. If mine's not accurate, yours is in accurate. Okay, So what are you getting at? I'm getting that that's how good we look.

00:39:10
Speaker 1: Thank you all.

00:39:11
Speaker 3: Right, I'm happy with it. Wow, thirties.

00:39:14
Speaker 1: See, and once again I think that they take the age and they just drop it down by ten years just because.

00:39:20
Speaker 3: But they don't know how sowet a minute. So then it thinks you're forty five. You'd still be happy with that. Yeah, yes, so I'm fifty three too. All right, okay, all right, moving on, Thank you Chad Gpt for that analysis.

00:39:33
Speaker 1: My buddy went to a wedding last night and he he couldn't believe it.

00:39:40
Speaker 3: We got married. No, well he was. It was a second wedding and it was a little.

00:39:46
Speaker 1: Bit more wedding, second wedding he had been to. It was it was a second his buddy got remarried. Oh, and it was still dinner, you know. They still had like a nice little three four course dinner. They had a little cocktail hour or dervs and stuff like that. And then so apparently when it came time to get some drinks, he's sitting at the table and the cocktail waitress comes over and says, hey, uh, she says, so what would you like to drink? Would you would you like your cocktail? He's like, yeah, what do you have? And she goes, oh, we gotta we have everything. Okay, awesome. I'm gonna take an apparol sprits. Okay cool. So do you have a credit card that we can take to hold, you know, for a hold, you know, we take your credit card and he's like, uh, he has to open a tab and she says yeah, see, he goes, okay, here's my credit card. Awkward, awkward. Yeah. So he went to a wedding at a pretty decent restaurant slash catering place where they were serving you know, dinner and had our dirves and stuff. But when it came to the drinks, it was a cash bar, cash bar, and the waitress actively went around to people to put them in a bad spot to take their credit cards to get drinks. Is this a thing? I don't know.

00:41:21
Speaker 3: I feel sometimes I.

00:41:23
Speaker 1: Don't want to see I don't want to see you most too quickly because I feel like there's slices out there that are going to jump on me be like, hey, what are you talking about. I had a wedding and it was a cash bar and it was fine and it was beautiful, and so I don't want to like rip anyone here. But I just assume and maybe it's just because of the parties I've been to. I can only give you my perspective on my past that when you go to a party like that, it's an open bar. I mean, they'll be you know, it may not be a top shelf open bar, but it's at least an open bar. At least it can be like, you know, here's here's you choose from this category, or we have wine, beer, and wine and soda and then everything else you pay for. I've been to those types of weddings. But yeah, yeah, you can't spend all the count other people's money. I know.

00:42:10
Speaker 3: Look, I went to a wedding ones that would soda and beer only right, anything else was you had to you had to pay for. And I thought that was fine. You want to drink, Like, if you're gonna track me for soda, I think that's a problem. Soda is like two cents to make a glass of soda. So if given soda and and and you know, and beer on tap or or house wine, I think that's fine. I don't think you owe it to the people that have stolely and and tinos and and expenses. Once again, this is where we differ. David brody. All right, so you'd say, if you can't afford to buy me everybody at the party hot top shelf liquor, you should not top shelf.

00:42:53
Speaker 1: See there you're putting. That's where you put words in my mouth. And I'm gonna clarify right now. Let me bring let me say what about what about any liquor? If you can't afford liquor, you shouldn't get married, is what you're saying. No, I think that if you're gonna throw a party at a restaurant, wedding hall, whatever the case, and you're gonna invite all the guests and you can have a nice little dinner or cocktail hour and stuff, and it's a reception, you should do.

00:43:16
Speaker 3: Okay, I want you to respond to what I ask.

00:43:17
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is if you're going to do all that, If you're going to do all that, then you gotta go all the way.

00:43:24
Speaker 3: You can't give me just a tip. You can't just go. You gotta go all in. You gotta you've got If if a couple can't afford to go all in, you're saying, then don't get married, Well, don't have a wedding.

00:43:35
Speaker 1: I think if it's a daytime affair. Maybe let's call it a uh like like I'm going to the baby shower, right or if I'm going to uh a christiening or something, or a daytime wedding or something like that, whatever.

00:43:48
Speaker 3: And I would say, at the very least.

00:43:52
Speaker 1: You can get away with would be you could have beer and wine and soda included, and and then and then cocktails premium, you know what, at least offer at least offer like bottom shelf. At least say you could have a cocktail with a spirit and vodka soda is just vodka soda and it's the vodka of their choice, and it's included.

00:44:24
Speaker 3: And if you want something a little bit more premium, like.

00:44:26
Speaker 1: A kettle or a Gray Goose or Belvedere, then you pay that. I think that's acceptable because you don't want people to take advantage of the open bar, but because you want to kick you.

00:44:38
Speaker 3: Let's say I have two hundred people at the wedding yep, okay, And of the two hundred people, let's say only one hundred people order drinks, but they order two each. So now we're back to two hundred drinks and a little bit of vodka and soda. Let's say it's four dollars. Would that be the cost for the bartender? Four dollars drink?

00:45:00
Speaker 1: Whatever?

00:45:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, a three dollars drink for now, you're talking about eight hundred dollars minimum minimum to throw. Now, now you're talking close to one thousand dollars approximately, depending on how many drinks, if people have more than two drinks.

00:45:13
Speaker 1: Whatever.

00:45:14
Speaker 3: One thousand dollars is a lot of money when you might be spent twenty thirty, forty thousand. I don't know how much people spend weddings anymore, and I don't want to count. I don't want to anybody's slices. I don't want to say what I think you should spend on your wedding, because if you're happy, the people will come there happy whatever you spend. Again, I'm a man with people. However, one thousand dollars more might be a lot of money. Maybe it is a lot of money, but maybe you're.

00:45:37
Speaker 1: Having a part of you. You're going you're going this far. Oh, you're having a wedding and you want your hate to be around you. It's just TACKI a tacky. Tacky is what you're doing. No, taky is what you're doing. Listen again. I'm not saying you got to include premium, top shelf open bar because people are gonna go for the McCall and eighteen if they know that they can do that, because then you got to put a cap on it. But you gotta offer spe it's I mean beer, beer, wine, soda is basic. But that's a christening, that's maybe a that's maybe a daytime.

00:46:08
Speaker 3: Why can't you go to a three hour wedding and not drink alcohol. I think you need to offer it to people. I think it needs to be there.

00:46:15
Speaker 1: And if you're paying per drink and not two hundred people are gonna order a spirit.

00:46:20
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, let me ask you a question. If you went to a wedding that didn't offer top shelf liquor and you hadn't filled the check out yet, would you adjust your check No?

00:46:30
Speaker 1: But are they offering me liquor? Are they offering me a spirit? I mean, can I get vodka? Gin? When I say spirit, I mean vodka gin, tequila, the things that you make and you mix with other things to make a cocktail other.

00:46:43
Speaker 3: Than beer and wine. Yes, you need you need that. That's part of a bar okay, just just to refresh my memory with the bother. The wedding your friend went to, was there no free liquor or, just no top shelf liquor?

00:46:57
Speaker 1: No, nothing was included, No beer, no wine, only soda.

00:47:03
Speaker 3: Okay, so again I'm askined.

00:47:04
Speaker 1: In fact, she asked for his credit card to run to open a tab, which is a step worse.

00:47:11
Speaker 3: So just to reiterate, if you went to that wedding like that with no liquor, would you cut back if you had to spend forty fifty bucks on liquor? Now, would you cut back on the gift?

00:47:22
Speaker 1: I would? You would? Yeah, I would take it out of their ass. Fuck that, you're just coming out of your present. That's tacky. You know, you don't put people, you don't gather people together. And you know, keep in mind when you go to decide to go to a wedding, you know you're you're committing your night to that, You're committing time and travel and getting dressed up.

00:47:42
Speaker 3: You're you're actually choosing to spend time.

00:47:46
Speaker 1: With someone because you care about them and you want to celebrate with them. The least they can do in return is buy you a fucking drink. Because especially since you're bringing especially since you're bringing a gift as well. I mean, there's it's so lopsided to begin with the amount of liquor that I'm going to consume. What to drinks tis to remax, No, not times everyone, because not everybody.

00:48:12
Speaker 3: Drinks times half times half to people that maybe, and by the way.

00:48:17
Speaker 1: Some asshole is gonna drink six seven things, but then there's gonna be five people that don't drink any liquor whatsoever.

00:48:23
Speaker 3: And don't crush you a many.

00:48:24
Speaker 1: Let me tell you.

00:48:25
Speaker 3: Let me tell you about my family, because I don't come from a family of drinkers. Okay, my family, see the way you're upset.

00:48:32
Speaker 1: For this guy.

00:48:33
Speaker 3: Yes, Like if you had been at that wedding my family but no beer or wine, hold on, hold on, My family would be outraged if they went to a wedding or bar mitzvah that didn't have pigs in a blanket.

00:48:45
Speaker 1: Outraged. They would take money out of the gift. If we went to a bar mitz I'm telling you, if we went and there was no pigs in a blanket going around, you're out. No shrimp, no shrimp cocktail. But that's that's a selection choice. That's not that well, that's not that's not a PREAMI saying that's my that's my anger.

00:49:04
Speaker 3: If I go to a wedding and there's no ketchup and pigs in a blanket, I can't enjoy myself. Can I need shrimp?

00:49:10
Speaker 1: I eat shrimp.

00:49:12
Speaker 3: Shrimp, yeah, okay, and blanket.

00:49:14
Speaker 1: Makes you okay, so so that's your thing, that's where but okay, so so so. Shrimp is usually a premium on a lot of menus. Right.

00:49:23
Speaker 3: If I went to a wedding and they said I said, pigs in a blanket, said we're gonna need your credit card for pigs in a blanket, I would I would storm out.

00:49:30
Speaker 1: I would storm out, storm the best deal.

00:49:34
Speaker 3: I'm out terry.

00:49:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, well for me, I'm just saying that's petty and that's awful. If you're throwing a party and you're going all that way, you gotta listen. A daytime affair that's lesser than a wedding. Okay, maybe beer, wine and soda and then everyone can buy their own drinks whatever, But like a nighttime thing, you gotta you gotta at least offer bottom shelf. Here's how much I win and if and if and let me give you some advice. There's different ways to go about it. Right as the people who throw the party, you can either tell them ahead of time, all right, we're just gonna run a tab and go drink for drink, which I love because I'll take that risk any any day that that that bar tab will be lower than what I would pay per person for the open bar drink package. Because that's the other thing is they'll they'll think, all right, then you go to there's two tiers. There's an open bar drink package and the premium open bar Drink package where you pay a set price per person and then and then it's open all night whatever, and they don't run anything. But I don't. I don't know. I'll hedge my bet see for that. I'd be like, you know what, fuck it, I'm just gonna I want you to. I want them to just ring it up as they go drink for drink because I know for a fact people don't take full of overall all your guests. They're not gonna take full advantage of what I would have paid if I would have ordered the premium drink package or the lowercase drink package. Whatever you want to call it all.

00:51:03
Speaker 3: Right, So I'm gonna tell you a quick story about a wedding I went to a long time ago, And you tell me if the thing I tell you at the end makes it worse or it doesn't change anything.

00:51:10
Speaker 1: Ready?

00:51:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I went to a wedding long time ago before I got into radio with somebody I used to work with. And the wedding was soda and beer bottles. And that's it. No top shove liquor. Soda and beer bottles. Okay. Would you say, on a scale of one to ten, how bad for you? Would that be?

00:51:37
Speaker 1: Like that?

00:51:37
Speaker 3: That's pretty bad, very bad? Medium bad, It's medium?

00:51:44
Speaker 1: Okay?

00:51:45
Speaker 3: Ready? Now it was it was. It was a black tie only wedding. Does that make it worse? That makes it unacceptable?

00:51:57
Speaker 1: Okay?

00:51:57
Speaker 3: See that's where I see.

00:52:01
Speaker 1: It wasn't a fancy place. That was the thing.

00:52:03
Speaker 2: It was.

00:52:03
Speaker 1: It was black ties. No, fuck you, scary black ties.

00:52:07
Speaker 3: I told you this. I was the only one wearing black tie other than the wedding party. But it was a black tie. It was a black tie affair, right.

00:52:13
Speaker 1: It was black tie optional. But that means that means they want you in a suit. No, are you making fancy and fucking be old bougie, then guess what you're asked better have a fucking drink weed for me at the bar. You know.

00:52:26
Speaker 3: See that's the bullshit right there. See I wasn't bothered by it.

00:52:29
Speaker 1: Let me let me give you an example of me not being bothered by when it's not included again, afternoon dressed down. It's cash whatever, it's a christening, it's a it's a it's a sweet sixteen, it's a whatever, beer, wine, and soda.

00:52:49
Speaker 3: Or what if the what if the bride is is eight months pregnant and they have to save up their money for the kid being born. Okay, no, no, still not still fuck that kid.

00:53:05
Speaker 1: In the case of the black tie optional wedding, you best be having a full bar for me. I'm sorry, yea.

00:53:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was not not the one I went to.

00:53:12
Speaker 1: And finally, I'm I mean, well, the only way it's acceptable is the bride of the groom are recovering alcoholics.

00:53:20
Speaker 3: Well, but I said she's pregnant so she can't dry.

00:53:23
Speaker 1: No, no, it's a dry wedding and there's no liquor.

00:53:26
Speaker 3: Well that's of course, that's you can't get upset about that.

00:53:29
Speaker 1: I mean that that that that's the exception. All right, all right, we got to take a break. All right, my god, did we give you some something to nibble on? I know, I know that the slices are already preparing their talkbacks. I could feel it coming in the air tonight, g boodcast we will be right back, all right. So I wanted to tell you about lunch I had with paper menu because it ended. It ended.

00:53:59
Speaker 3: It's the ending I need to tell tell you about. So we had lunch, very nice lunch, casual dining place, theme restaurant type place, very casual. And before we leave, I say to him, I'm going to go to the bathroom. I gotta go to the bathroom before we leave. He's all right, I'll be here. Go ahead, go to the bathroom.

00:54:21
Speaker 1: Did you have to drop a fudge dragon?

00:54:24
Speaker 3: I needed to spend some time in the bathroom. I felt like I was urgent. I need to get to the bathroom. So I go in the bathroom. I open the door, and the bathroom I've been in the bathroom before. There's two sinks, a urinal, and a handicapped stall. There's only one stall, so that it's because the handicap stall. There's a woman standing in there, standing in the bathroom. So I go whoa, whoa, And I go back out and I look at the door again. I'm like, no, I read the door right. So I go back in and there's a woman not probably in her sixties maybe, So I go in. I go hello, and she says, I'm sorry. Uh, my husband's in the stall and he needs me to help push him out. He was handicapped, okay, okay, so so I I was no problem. So I waited for him to come out, but it took a while for him to finish and her to wheel him out, which is only part of the story to explain why it took so long that then I had to go to the bathroom. So I was in there a little a little bit of a little bit of time, the first off little bit thrown seeing the woman.

00:55:32
Speaker 1: In the Uh, I can imagine, yeah, but it made sense, I understand, you know. Uh.

00:55:38
Speaker 3: Anyway, so I was probably in you know, ten minutes. So I come out and paper menu is not at the.

00:55:45
Speaker 1: Booth, and uh.

00:55:48
Speaker 3: I go out and he's outside in the pung a lot. I tell him this story. He's like, well, that's that's crazy, like I would have been like I would have questioned what room I'd walked into. And anyway, we out for a couple of minutes. We go on our way and I head over to a Barnes and Noble in the area, which, by the way, Barnes and Noble will play into a story for next episode. To remind me the Barnes and Noble story, because there's a story about what happened there. Okay, so I leave, I go to Barnes and Noble. A thing happens at Barnes and Noble. My phone rings. It's pay per menu. What's up, he says, Listen, I'm already I'm already home. And I realize we left without paying for the check. I go, what he said, Yeah, I got up when you were in the bathroom and I waited outside and I didn't remember to pay the check. And then you came out and you didn't pay the check. Oh no, waitress never brought the check. We both will I go. Brodie's going to the bad Dam's going to the bathroom. Was like, that's when the meal's over.

00:56:51
Speaker 1: So I'm like, no, no, I made an unintentional dining dash.

00:56:56
Speaker 3: So he so He says, I can't go back. I gotta go pick up I have I have a very important errand has to run. He said, I gotta go, I gotta pick up my I gotta go do something.

00:57:06
Speaker 1: So I go, well, all right, i'll go, I'll go.

00:57:08
Speaker 3: I'll go right now, I'll stop what I'm doing and I head outside and I get in the car. He goes in the car, go, yeah, here's asshole. I paid the check for both of us. I took care of lunch today.

00:57:17
Speaker 1: Ah. He had me like he's basically phone tapping me. He had me all in a panic that I walked out on the check. That was actually kind of funny. I ran on my car and he goes, yeah, I paid the check. What do you think I was gonna leave it out paying the check. I was in panic mode because I'm you know, I'm honestly you know. So yeah.

00:57:36
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, I would never dine in Dash. I was heading back to go pay for the check, and he's like, no, go back, go back in Barnes and Noble. So okay, have done? Would you have stayed in Barnes and Noble shopping? I'm like, maybe I'll go later I would have. I would have picked an easy way out.

00:57:52
Speaker 1: I would have called into the restaurant and give him my credit card over the phone, and I would have been like, hey, sorry, we weft up. We but me being an honest, forthright citizen, I'm gonna give you my credit card and you just running over.

00:58:08
Speaker 3: The phone, So I would I would not have.

00:58:11
Speaker 1: Well, I would have been pissed if I had to go back, because I just don't waste my time.

00:58:15
Speaker 3: Well, it's it was. It was sort of it wasn't that far out of the way. But the point is I was going to call them, like calling a head, going hey, I'm coming back in a minute. I don't want you to think like you know that we left there. But no, he's always like, oh, yeah, we will. We neither one of us paid the checks.

00:58:30
Speaker 1: I panicked. So would you have like hung out in the store for a while and like taking your time? Would you have like immediately called No, I would have called immediately. I would have. Yeah, I got to get that off my desk. I can't do it. I cannot. If I know that I have a good debt to pay, it's going to be on my mind, weighing heavily. I have to have it cleared.

00:58:49
Speaker 3: So if you, if you owed money, or you you had a debt, you would want it like wiped clean immediately. You would want that hanging over your head, right except for the one except for you. Fuck God, No, no, no, I knew that.

00:59:02
Speaker 1: Was coming, but I had nothing to that. That has nothing to do with the money. That's your head, not hanging over my head. That's hanging over your head. For whatever reason, you keep bringing it up. I bought you a steak dinner twice. No, you did not.

00:59:14
Speaker 3: You did not buy me a steak dinner.

00:59:15
Speaker 1: You went.

00:59:18
Speaker 3: There was a steak dinner that you did not buy me a steak down more than fulfilled my end of the bar. Again, just a reminder. The deal was not I will sit with you while we both eat steak. The deal was, I will buy you a steak dinner at a top five star steak dinner place your choice. That did not happen. So wait, Volde Homesteads.

00:59:39
Speaker 1: Here we go. No, I'll go back to Delmonico's. I love Delmonico's. Whatever, I'll tell you anyway, as soon as my apartment sells, maybe I'll I'll buy you a steak dinner. But this is a bonus one because I already paid for the other one.

00:59:51
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, I want you to admit that you owe.

00:59:55
Speaker 1: Me to nake dinner. Let's worry about.

00:59:57
Speaker 3: That one of your apartments. What else you want to? You have something else for us, because otherwise one thing before.

01:00:07
Speaker 1: Is just what we're dealing with here in the background that this audio connection is it keeps dropping. We may have to shorten this episode because I can't take it anymore. We're having technical issues. But it's I think it's the Internet, but anyway, it's not it's not my it's not my equipment. Okay, let's be clear about that, all.

01:00:27
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, yeah, I want to I want to talk about my friend Scott. My friend Scott lives in Florida and he's he I used to work with him in New York and he's he's terrific rock guy and whatever. Anyway, he loves the podcast and he always sends me stuff that he thinks I could use on the podcast because he knows that the sense of humor on on the podcast. So he's always sending me screenshots from from like social media accounts of people putting pictures up of their checks at restaurants being charged for things that are unusual, like last episode, I told you I got charged three dollars. Well, paperman, you got charged three dollars for butter? Okay, So he sends me a receipt from this account Captain t roll, who who's complaining that a restaurant charged him scary. There's a a twelve dollars fee. And the caption is who eats their steak pink, I'm not a savage And and the ticket says food reheat fee twelve dollars.

01:01:29
Speaker 1: What the guy?

01:01:31
Speaker 3: The guy is claiming that his food was undercooked? It says filet mignon side of steak, fries, Dr. Pepper three dollars. Food reheat fee twelve dollars. So he sent his food back to be reheated and they charged him twelve dollars. According to this social media account, I'm calling bullshit on that. Well, I'm calling bullshit.

01:01:50
Speaker 1: There's no way, there's no way, who has the right who can get away with that shit?

01:01:55
Speaker 3: Well, according to this social media post, which is a it's a it's a receipt a received here looks very legitimate from Dante's Steakhouse three fourteen Pershing Road, Kansas City, Missouri. That sounds like a legitimate place, Kansas City known for their beef.

01:02:10
Speaker 1: Right, the doctor checked, I think that's fucked up. No, there's no way, there's no way this happened.

01:02:17
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. I went on Google Maps. Not only is there no Dante's Steakhouse at three fourteen Persian Road in Kansas City, but it's a warehouse. There's no restaurants there, there's a post office, there's no steakhouse.

01:02:29
Speaker 1: This is fake, fake, fake, fake, fake fake. As fartimes, Yeah, sometimes outrage on social media is fake outrage. Well that's what people do. They love rage bait videos. They love that. They love to put the post, you know, or they'll they'll be a food influencer and they'll purposefully mispronounce of food knowing that it's going to cause drama in the comments.

01:02:53
Speaker 3: They do that on purpose.

01:02:54
Speaker 1: At this point, they plant moments for you to like, go off.

01:02:59
Speaker 3: Oh there's a guy. There's one of the food influences. You and I both follow them. But they constantly say mozzarella and they pronounce a lot of Italian food. Wrong, yeah, wrong, right, Not just mozzarella, but there was I forget what it was, but he went to a pizza place and he pronounced the topping's wrong whatever it was, and the whole comments section blew up, of course, and then.

01:03:21
Speaker 1: The algorithm leads people to the video and it goes viral that way, because if something has got a lot of comments, that means it's got a lot of attraction and attention, and that's your way of that. That's the hack to fool the computer into showing it to more people. They're like, people must love this.

01:03:37
Speaker 3: So I'll give you one more and then we'll get out of here. Paper menu sends me a video. Now he knows it's a joke, but the comments section did not. It's a video of a dash cam, so there's like all So it's on a guy's on a parkway and the cars going driving right in front of him, like you know, like dashcam footage. And it's a mountain road with all trees, tree lined mountain road and it says Brooklyn, New York Belt Parkway. Now the Belt Parkway does not have trees. There's no mountains in Brooklyn. There's there's like you know.

01:04:13
Speaker 1: Weeds and and brown grass and uh, you know, metal guard rails. It's not a scenic mountain road. The video was like Zurich. It was like, you know, like the roads in Germany. It was a beautiful mountain road in Germany. All the cars are on the wrong side of the road. It's obviously not the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn. With everyone from Brooklyn, it's like, don't, don't, Brooklyn, do'st the Belt Parkway. Everyone's getting upset and a lot of the people are like making comments. So I made a comment like, oh, that's right by King's Plaza, like I'm playing into the thing, like I'm leaving it.

01:04:49
Speaker 3: Of course, some people are now yelling at me.

01:04:50
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Start hearing it's it's terrific so rage bait videos. Uh, it's so funny. It's so obviously not accurate.

01:04:58
Speaker 3: Right Hi, Hey, they're all the rage literally.

01:05:03
Speaker 1: Oh all right, all right, listen, go fix your sound system whatever you gotta fix.

01:05:07
Speaker 3: Over there.

01:05:08
Speaker 1: I think you'll see Internet and thank you new slices for listening. Old Ones Boys, proclus

01:05:20
Speaker 3: Boys,
