School school school.

Oh yeah, that.

Excuse me, while I just feel the feel the music for a second, move my body, move my hips to the Oh that's all theme songs are self aware and announce their fade outs.

We're all aware of that magic, folks.

It's the voicemail dump truck.

On this Thursday, December eleventh, twenty twenty five, we are up to our eyeballs in the holiday season, which means all kinds of ridiculous traditions that you know what, I kind of like.

Isn't that right?

I share the holiday spirit with you.

Jano Choa coming to us live from Los Angele's how are you?

That's me coming live from the streets of Los Angeles.

Uh.

I have to use sensi because I have sensitive gums.

Okay, that's that's a that's an issue between you and your dentist.

Mike Manati.

How are you.

I'm good.

My tommy hurts a little bit, but that's okay.

I'm excited to be here.

I'm excited for the Game Awards.

Uh.

Disney did a bad uh, and I'm mad about that, but that's okay.

Video games, video games.

Indeed, even though this morning, yes, jan yes.

This morning I was just like half awake scrolling through Blue Sky and I thought Kingdom Heart's four had dropped because I just saw Sora and Disney.

I'm like yes, And then I saw the actual headlines and like rock Disney's uh invested are like investitor is getting a billion dollars from Open Ai and they're gonna let Sora Ai you as Disney characters.

Oh I see there you go?

Great?

Great, yeah, cool.

It's It's the best news one could wake up to.

I think, mm hmmmmm.

During this holiday season, it's uh.

I simply cannot wrap my hand around it.

Dan, Yeah, I know you said, Hi, welcome to the show.

We got shown behind the scenes rock and roll and thank you Sean.

It's the holiday season.

And last night I attended an elementary school chorus concert.

I did the same thing last night.

What how did yours go?

Mikey?

Well, you know they're in the second grade.

They think they do their best.

Did yours have a narrative?

An agenda?

I mean, I get it back all of it that this one was about gnomes and gnomes are the cousins of the elves, but the elves were like behind on the cristal word so the gnomes and all the kids were nomes had to go to the North Pole and helpe the elves make presents.

So I guess it was a pro gnome agenda.

Yeah.

Did they weave the songs into the narrative proper?

This was the part those kind of fucking bullshit?

Is that?

Like they didn't sing like you know Christmas songs.

There's like new original songs about gnomes that we got instead.

I would I almost would just shout the back, how about jingle bells?

Or did you come to that snowman.

In your Ninja Turtles sort of caroling attire?

Or no?

No, I didn't want to be arrested.

I don't know that.

Well that's I don't know if that's caused for arrest, but I see where you're going there.

Yeah, you were going to bring some numb chucks into an elementary schoo We can't be having that, a fellow checker, right right, Okay, that's the line from the movie everyone So.

Wait, oh, I thought that was from Mario Sunshine.

What's series in.

What Ninja Turtle?

Fellow chucker?

Oh, I was thinking of Mario Sunshine.

Well, we were talking about Ninja Turtles three year, there no talk about Ninja Turtles.

When when Michael Ageler sees the one foot Clan guy with the chucks and goes a fellow chucker.

Then they have a check off.

Which one to the first movie?

Since is it?

What the fuck is going on around by balloons?

Just let virtual balloons fly?

Uh?

Yeah, I believe.

Yeah, right, there's much more.

There's much more personality in that second one.

I one second one one hundred times as a child.

That's not the first one.

Maybe three times in nineteen ninety.

Yeah, Like, I think a lot of people respect the first one more like the second one is more of a kid's movie.

And I'm like, I was a kid.

Yeah, I was eight when that came out, so you could imagine I simply like would not leave the theater.

I was like, I'm going to see the eleven AM, the one PM, the three PM, the five PM, and if I'm a good boy, the seven thirty and how good did the pizza look in that opening back large, Oh my gods, pizza.

Watch the first ninety seconds of that movie.

There's just like pizza porn.

It is so good.

It's a perversion and unspeakable perversion.

It's pretty great.

Uh the movie New York movie, but it's it's up there right.

No, No, the best New York movie is die Hard three with a Vengeance.

It's a good one.

Okay, it's a good one.

Uh tmn T two also really really made me want a moped growing up.

Sure, sure, because.

Put him in the trash is what I call.

He does look silly, he does get dumped in the garbage.

It's fine.

Uh yeah, So it's a holiday season.

I'm glad you enjoyed your gnome agenda.

But what about your concert backlar So?

Mine was just too woke for me.

I think I didn't appreciate the like we I don't know.

I don't know why they had to call out we wish you a merry Christmas, but not a happy Honukah.

I don't know why that was added into the lyrics of the song.

I found it to be offensive, but I went along with it because that's just the times I think.

Start this year.

I think like tomorrow.

Oh oh, when I was at Epcot, I learned all about Honkkah.

They had a man with a guitar and he told me about honkkah guitar.

Yes, yeah, well well yeah, and I learned about how they like the menora and how there's the mother flame, and then like, so you do like two on the first thing, you get a better name for it.

You are inventing honikah lore on site.

I think with him it was fun.

I think the Jewish man with the guitar you saw was none other than Neil Diamond.

He looks younger, maybe out of the Sandler.

So it's probably out of Sandler.

He's like, come on, Mike, Mike, Mike, can you do like his weird obo sound that he does.

Let's give me an idea of scuba Scooby.

You talk, you're doing wavy too many.

Keep it centered, Keep it centered, Mike.

You have it's the small saxophone.

He does small saxophone.

I got a smaller dejective.

Okay, okay, okay.

Wow, okay.

Well that was my experience.

I think if you recall last year, I was very disappointed in what my child's school was calling the advanced strings chorus.

They were much better.

They were not advanced, they were slightly above average.

I think you tell them that it's fine.

One of the one of his best friends, his dad, I'm I'm close with him.

We just we just sort of rate every song.

We go back and forth through text and all the things.

We're just like, they gotta fire this music teacher, this is this They got to rebuild, like this is a whole mess.

What are we doing here?

Rebuild the team exactly.

I just it's just yeah, you know, I think, but it's a victimless crime.

You can make fun of kids as long as they don't know it, and I think that's totally cool.

But becheler.

Have you seen a really good like children's chorus concert?

Uh?

No, I guess that kind of remains to be seen too.

In the in the couple of years that I've been going to these things, this was the least embarrassed I felt.

I'll put it that way.

Last year I made a video and I never posted it, and it's just like it's just me like looking down at my phone and like wincing every time there's like a note that's off, and it's just ninety seconds of like nails on a chalkboard.

It is insufferable, to the point where like I kind of had to stop myself from laughing because I I was entertaining myself so much by wincing.

It was just like like like the way like a baby giraffe would be in some sort of like peril.

It was awful.

This was much better.

The string said, we're not advanced, but we're progressing.

We're moving in the right direction.

Progress Yeah, yeah, not progressive, progressing.

It's it's pretty funny because like every little you know, it's only like an hour, so like they do these little things.

They do these like there's a percussion thing, then there's like wind instruments, and then you know, like brass, right yeah, and there's a there's a piano, a pianist who who plays with them, and she knows what she's doing, and she's just like you know, tickling the ivory.

She knows what's up.

She sounds good, she's in tune.

And then she'll play for like four seconds, I like, introducing the song, and then she'll get a little quieter to let the kids overtake.

And you're just like, no, no, no, you should probably keep playing.

You should probably put everyone on your back.

It's gonna become a piano recital now for this adult, for this forty five year old piano teacher, we.

Better serve that way.

Yeah, it's exciting times.

We got Game of Warts tonight.

That's gonna be a lot of fun.

We got brand new website, folks, how we feeling brand new?

I think it's sexy brand.

I have had those feelings about it as well, Mike.

I I concur the website.

It's called GiantBomb dot com.

Check it out.

It's brand new, fresh quarter pan on that sound of the bitch.

And I've spoken about this on numerous programs.

Now, but using it on the back end side, and I'll speak for Sean and I night and day, so much easier.

Great shouts out to Chuck.

Shout to make sure a good back end.

That's right, Chuck has a good back end.

Shouts out to Chuck's back end.

Folks.

All right, well, folks, if there's any other business to attend to, is there?

I won't proceed unless there there is not.

The Game awards tonight.

My brothers do this very annoying thing with the game awards.

God, Oh again, you seem so excited.

I want to hear your thing.

I saw the statue from the Desert.

Yes, I drove it over.

Keeley called in a homie favor.

Nice.

Now, did you did you go up to a statue and did you scream rise from your graves and see if anything happened.

No, but I had to explain to three different groups that it was a video game thing.

And then I got met with like, oh, that's nice.

Oh so that's what's ruining our city.

Huh what what are the vibes in la in downtown?

Like, how's it going there?

Dude?

It's eighty degrees here, it's too hot.

Oh yeah, we have over a foot of snow on our decaments.

Snowing here, not that much snowing.

Also, I caught dinner with a friend and I made him drive me to a Bevemo just so I can commit to the bit and like, oh no, you.

Got the you got the Christmas buzzballs.

I like this a lot.

I saw Charlie's Instagram story that you you gave him a Elf flavored buzzball.

Yes it is, Oh but you have like eight of them.

There's more there for three days.

N like a clown car is pulling an endless stream of buzzballs from his hotel refrigerator and stacking them on the table, and most of.

Them are the Elf branded ones.

I like this lot.

Turbo Sean and the chat saying what the fuck is a bevmo.

I guess it is more of a coastal thing, isn't it.

I don't know, I don't know.

That must be West coast thing.

I saw him out there, just like I didn't think about it.

Yeah, yeah, we don't have them out in Midwest.

So it's just like Uber eats, but just for booze.

No, no, no, just like a store.

Oh, it's a brick and mortar thing.

I mean there's always like the Drizzly or Uber Eats will do alcohol and stuff now too, But yeah, it's just a big it's like a Walmart for wow.

I guess they called liver stores.

But yeah, yeah, we have liquor stores.

All our liquor stores here are pretty reached.

You know.

One thing, they're not brands.

I gotta say.

I think the I think the buzzball people are missing partnership, collaboration opportunity in the form of z X poison gas.

I feel like.

The green One, and if it wasn't gimmick infringement, I would make my whole deal elegant pearl formation.

I would be bringing the green Ones around and give them out of the boards.

Look at this.

I'm sorry, great minds and all that, And I'm like the ooze from Secret of the Use you some t g r I ship, I'm okay with that.

It would be sick if like there was a photo of Nick Cage on there talking about like your skin melting at the speed of light or whatever he says.

You always say that.

He definitely does not say that in the movie.

He's like, your neck flips back, opens up your cranium.

What does he say?

He's just like he's describing the pain to something, but.

He's like, oh, yeah, your nervous central nervous system.

You going to a seizure and you're like your meal.

You're begins to milk before you can blink your eyes or something.

What does he say?

You're getting closer?

Yeah, ooh, Mikey, look at you that I got this out of con At some point they get a replica T g r I.

Secret of the Ooze canisers.

So we'll be kind of fun to put your green buzzball slop in one of these, would g g R I.

And I thought you were referring to what's the thing on the crucifix.

It's like, I n R I.

It is similar.

You're right.

Yeah, wait, it's the same idea that.

Yeah, that's that's just from the grave.

Yeah you grave, Yeah, you know this is an altered beast.

Uh Cubano in the chat got me, we're thinking the same thing.

I'm gonna three D print my own t gr I fucking.

I mean, that's absolutely what this is.

Yeah, it's just some three D prints.

I think that's cool.

So Jane's got the buzzballs.

I'm getting a champagne.

You boys bring anything to the Game Awards tonight.

I guess that my tumby hair it's a little better.

So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to drink.

I have some Christmas beer if I can.

I got a lot of like Bourbon and Scotch as well.

We'll see.

I'm worried about opening the champagne.

I've never understood how that works.

Just just just be just go outside, out the front door, aiming out the door.

I want to do it.

Pop it when the show starts tonight.

Do that.

Good friend of the site, don Lee, taught me at his bar how to say, I open with the sword once and awesome.

Okay, okay, I mean if you do it out inside, you will make a mess.

That's all.

You're going to clean it up.

Okay, I'll do it on the deck, or do it in the shower.

Do it in the shower.

Yeah, but then you have a glass in your shower, which is the thing you want.

I'm not gonna savor it.

I just want to open it, which is glass.

Wouldn't matter what no, no, no, I'm not gonna say it.

I don't have a sword.

Yeah, just kind of work that little cork a little bit of your thumb, like twist a little bit to get going and pull and then like just slowly kind of push ship with your thumb eas and eventually the pressure will take over and all.

I don't need to do one of the wine bottle opening things, right because the thing is.

For the Okay, I would you just gotta like jiggle it and you don't have to have it like pop and you know, ricochet around your room.

You just like cup it and it won't do that.

I'll do in the shower.

I'm not going to savor it, so it'll pop into your uh you know, your hand.

Yeah, I'll go pop in the shower.

Okay, we'll go with that in the shower.

That works, so you're ex poison gas.

All right, folks, it is time to pivot.

As you know, this, of course, is a call in show seven oh seven exit flu.

Man.

We had a call with our with our with our lawyer the other day and our lawyer was like, what is seven oh seven exit flu?

Chuck was on that call.

That was awesome.

It was so sick, just hearing like just a professional adult say that out loud, being like.

What the what the who?

Who am I working for here?

Anyway, that's the phone number.

Give us a call, leave us a voicemail, and you'll have a decent shot at getting your voicemail read live on the show and reacted to.

Isn't that right?

Choosing the first voicemail today, Jen, you never get the honors, so let's go with you first.

Well, this one was for Grub, so let's just get out of the way since he's not here.

Sean, could we please play Detroit?

Hey, this is a question for Grub.

I've had this weird fascination with going to Detroit on vacation.

Please tell me I'm crazy and talk me down off a ledge, or please tell me why I should spend my vacation hours in Detroit, Michigan.

Thank you much.

I love you.

Bye.

I've heard great stuff.

I've been to Detroit once, but I've heard great stuff generally speaking.

Right, Mike, you've been there.

I mean I went there one time to see WrestleMania twenty three in two thousand and seven.

Uh, And I mean I was not in the city itself very much.

I was mostly in ford Field.

I stayed in Toledo because.

It was was it the Battle of the Billionaires.

That's the That's the one where Stuncles of Boston Stunnard Trump.

That's the one.

I was out.

Oh cool, I look, no no shape to Detroit.

I just don't think of as much of a vacation destination, Like what are the touristy things one does in Detroit?

I kind of like the idea of going to a city that isn't really touristy, because then you it feels like you'd have free rein to just do whatever.

I guess, but like, I feel like the things you can do there, I mean to go to a Detroit pizza place.

I'm sure there's plenty of things to do.

It's a city.

I would personally like go to a Chicago, which is like right there, and do all the stuff going on in Chicago.

Don't they have like a didn't they just put up a Robocops statue?

There is a robot Cops statue, so you could go there and like paint my face on it or something.

For me?

Why the laughter at the idea of Chicago.

Chicago's a fine city.

I love Chicago, don't get me wrong.

But Mike was just like, you know what, fuck Detroit, You're already in the Midwest.

Go to Chicago.

I mean it's like, right, book, Chicago's a lot of museums, and I'm into that, right Like, I can go to the Field Museum for two days.

I'm sure.

I bet Detroit has very nice museums too.

I don't know if any of them are like the Field Museum.

Yeah, I Chicago is tremendous.

I love that place.

I think Detroit gets slept on as a result of like someone in Chad had it right of like straight up boomer propaganda, you know, and I think, uh, it falls victim to that.

But it's just like the auto industry did to Detroit.

There you go oh deep deep cuts that hits home.

You go to eight Mile, you could go like you're gonna lose yourself in the music the moment you own it.

Look, look, I don't think people like journey to Detroit to do like the one thing.

I just think it's probably a great You know, every major metropolitan city has like stuff to do.

So it's not like you're gonna go to Detroit and be like I'm bored.

But you know, just like I was like, I'm going to spend my vacation time in Cleveland, and I love Cleveland, I'd be like, I don't know about that.

Weekend.

Maybe a weekend right.

Now that they're closing our Margaritaville at sad times here, take it off the flag.

I don't know.

Well, I think it's turns out that not many people want to go to a Margaritaville in Cleveland, especially when it's snowing.

M all right, that's fair.

Is your margaritaville also a hotel?

No, maybe that was the problem.

It's just a margaritaville.

It's and it's very big in there, and it's not very full.

I had a nice rooftop bar though I liked that.

Yeah, I didn't realize until I watched the New York City travelogue that when the Margaritaville hotel came up.

My first instinct was to tell Jesse, Buttelly, you can't tell Mike Manatti this, and then as soon as I see you, I immediately forgot that and I told you it.

All right.

Well, thank you caller.

Hopefully that kind of answers your question and maybe changes your travel plans.

Uh, Mike Manati, E're up?

Yes?

Reddits thread, Hey dods, I recently made a Reddit thread said you guys would be in too mean to Mic and I just want to say I love you, Mike, and you continue being yourself and everybody else just do what you want to do.

But I love you Mike.

You continue loving Disney, you continue loving the things you love, and don't let anyone dampen your joy and take as much space as you want to.

Anyway, I love you, guys.

Fine you Mike.

Come on, I've never heard CJ talk.

Was that CJ?

No, that was not one of my brains.

Oh Clark, I met Clark?

Sorry?

Yeah, yeah, look guys, let's it's it's all in good fun and honestly, look at me.

I could use a little bullying.

It's okay say that.

Yeah, I'm not sure there's anyone that I adore, I mean a door.

I don't use the word ador a lot, but there is an duration with you.

Yeah, I'm not even sure.

Actually, actually I saw at I was actually was even really sure what they were talking about.

I was like, I don't think people even do that to me very much.

I don't know.

Maybe it's because you guys have discovered the joys of doing my voice, which I also think is funny.

Right, yeah, oh yeah.

Anytime I've caught up with anyone here in Los Angeles because of the Game Awards the last like, oh, how's everyone, And they'll eventually ask about you, Mike, and I'll just put on the mic voice and then it makes everyone giggle because I'll just what a day for Mikey's Yeah, even I do the mic voice.

You're pretty good at it, Mike, You're pretty good at it.

I Mike Manati Disney did Ai.

But I'll still go to the theme parks and right, I.

Guess that is a good question to ask you, though, Like what would be the bridge too far for you?

Because they've already like danced with the devil in so many different ways.

I don't know, I don't know the parks are pretty important.

I understand.

But let me draw on analog to my recent history with w DO Mike.

What have all the Disney parks relocated to Saudi Arabia?

Yeah, well yeah, that would that would solve my problem problem pretty quick.

Yea, yeah, that would just result in extreme inaccessibility.

But I mean, yeah, like The Rumble is my favorite pay per view or playing live event, and this year it's next year it's going to be in Saudi Arabia, right.

And like a month, yeah, a little over a month.

I'm not even doing Vegas.

I didn't do Vegas last year.

I'm not doing Vegas this next year.

But yeah, it's there.

There were a lot of death by a thousand cuts for me with at.

Least I always have that one WrestleMania.

I went to the one Donald Trump was at.

Who could have coming?

He got a so called stunner though, right, I think, I mean there's act there's that that mean.

He also had Taker versus Batista, which was awesome, And Shawn Michael was at the main event.

He's my favorite.

That was a good time.

Man.

The last WrestleMania I'll probably ever go to.

My one memory will always be Dan Reiker looking at me mortified.

Saying, jan, I think I have to go to the hospital.

Oh right, that's right.

Night one, being like I'm looking at eers in Philadelphia.

Oh my god.

Yeah he went too hard, big Philly style or whatever.

Yeah, Philadelpia destroyed my sinuses.

Right, yeah.

Hey, look, I appreciate people's concern for me.

I'm look, look, everyone, look at me.

I'm doing great.

Please, none of you spend a second worrying about me.

I am fantastic right now, Like what a day for my keys.

Everybody, get right, I'm good.

Don't worry.

If I'm not good, maybe I'll let you know I'm pretty good right now.

The funny thing if I could just pull back the curtain a little bit, and I hope Mike you'll you'll play along with me here this in the best possible way.

Oh call her.

Of course we were aware of that thread.

Of course we were, because not eleven minutes after it was posted we found out about it.

I think I posted like yeah, I was like, he's right, you guys are jerks, to.

The point where I myself took a bit of a pause and was just like, did fucking Mikey make this?

I think Shang attack on himself.

I was like, did he do?

Is this some weird passive aggressive thing?

I think Sean had the best response because Sean just immediately chimes in, I thought your girlfriend had a different Reddit account.

Yeah, very good, good jokes, good ship all around.

Well, thank you caller, Keep keep fighting the good fight.

Damn Europe.

Uh, let's go with dolphin.

Hey, dump truck friends, it's Jesse from Jack's still you guys ever think about dolphin milk and then the concept of dolphin cheese.

What what kind of flavor profile do you think a dolphin cheese would have?

And if Dan's there, would he dip oreos in it?

All right?

Let me guys bye.

I guess I did just realize during this call that like they are mammals and is that literally all mammals make milk?

Right?

Yeah?

But how do they make milk memories?

Yeah?

Under how do dolphins make they have I assume they have a kind of have a nipple somewhere, but they're so smooth.

All right, I'll do it.

I will google dolphin nipples.

Thank you.

You know, dolphin milk.

I'm just not okay, thought they have a memory.

Slit okay with that.

So that's you know, that is the most offensive words.

I gotta go.

They have external nipples.

They don't have external nipples.

Instead, the nipples are hidden inside memory slits.

Generous, Now you're pluralizing it.

I this is a family show, Michael.

This is this is a biology.

This is science.

Yeah, I'm sure.

I'm sure there's some figure eight that points to the slit.

I'm sure that's the first thing that came up was this.

Yeah, it is what happened.

We're gonna get clapped for this.

No, it's science.

I was sure our chat right now, it's the it's the memory slit.

Stop saying the word slit please.

Just gotta move on to the next voicemail.

It seems to be the term I would not eat that cheese.

So so okay, So so that's what I wanted to get at here.

You know, through domestication and generations of doing it, we all just agree that like cow, milk rules if you if it doesn't up let your tummy.

I don't think it's it's certainly not the best for a lot of people in general.

Right, I feel like there is enough give evidence that like maybe milk not great, Maybe milk.

Not maybe meant for cows and stuff.

Yes, so if we just, you know, we're conditioned to drink dolphin milk this whole time, it would just be as normal as the sun rising, right, So.

Maybe that'd be fucked up.

Imagine if we really gotta taste her dolphin milk, and now, I.

Mean we gotta taste for tuna, we gotta taste for a lot of things in the sea.

What do you mean I have all these dolphin farms and we had to like, Oh, I don't like imagining the tubes going into the word.

I'm not allowed to say.

What's the difference between a cow farm and a and a and a salmon farm.

I mean there're farms water water, yes, of course, but you get my past the question.

You're right, you're right, I stand corrected.

But yeah, I don't know what I expected.

But like, man, if you're going around saying the phrase dolphin cheese, that's a lot, that's a lot.

Yeah, I don't like it.

I don't like it.

I mean it's probably doesn't it's probably tastes better.

I mean it's probably kind of salt.

It's probably probably really salty, right, I assume that dolphins have a lot of sea water in their system, so it's probably got some of that in there.

I mean, the answer to my portion is no, I would not eat that cheese.

You're not dunking Oreo into it.

No, Yeah, I mean the worrio thing is like, if it's there, I'll do it, or if I'm making someone else do it, I'll do it.

But I'm not like sitting here at home making a you know, platter for myself.

There's there's there's three acceptable cheeses.

There's like, you know, cow obviously, then sheep and goat, and that's it.

I think there are only a couple unacceptable cheeses in terms of the actual normal ones, not like the dolphin cheese.

I don't like blue ches, but that's personal preference thing.

Not what I meant.

No, you're just doing variety cheese.

You're doing that.

I love the cow cheese.

That's still cow cheese.

Oh Church, I'm good with all cheese, either normal cheese that you would find in a store, not not.

Yeah, I guess it's a little where that there's like more than just the three, Like it's like beaver milk that disgusting.

I don't know, beaver milk.

That's the thing going around.

I just I'm just wondering, like anything, right, like like you know all the other mambles like bear milk.

I don't know our birds.

No, no, they have hair though I thought that was the defining but they uh yeah.

Okay, that's feathers.

Yeah, they don't have They don't produce milk.

That's why.

That's why the birds are constantly doing the mouth thing.

Dogs, Yes, dogs are mammals.

You ever see nipples on a dog?

But does every do the milk thing?

I've never thought we had this cover.

No you did.

Here's two years ago.

It sucks.

Then, yeah, this is better.

This is a better version of it.

I think there's a bunch of voicemails we could move on.

Yeah, you j I completely forgot where we were.

It's my turn, it's my turn.

It's my turn.

Thank you Jen, and thank you caller.

At all these posts that are saying mammals equals memories, apparently can't say memories and twitch.

Oh yeah, all right, I'll learn something new every day.

All right, let's do.

Helps gumpies.

You wanted to hear voices from people's jobs.

Here's me at my desk.

Ah, hell, I don't like it here.

I I have to do this slim forever.

I hope you enjoyed that.

Oh I want to I want to dispatch that call, right, jan, Yes, I want to, like I want to send sonar or something over there and help.

Yeah, you just need someone to like talk talk to them and just motivate them to stay at the job.

Call.

Do you need help?

Caller?

Yes, he set help.

He screamed it in fact, caller, is this getting back to you a week later?

Caller?

Is this a bit?

Are you okay?

Oh?

God?

How do we feel about that?

Did did you guys ask for people's like work calls when I was in here or something?

What was that?

What was the asking?

Remember?

I don't remember, I remember it?

Does I remember cubicle jobs?

And I remember like waiting for Okay, I have a fifteen minute break coming up, got them only an hour away, and then I get fifteen minutes where I can just stand outside of this office for a second and then just watching the clock and every minute going by so slow, and it's like, oh, I'm not nostalgic for that.

No, no, yeah, yeah, go ahead.

Did you ever decorate your cubicle while you were there, dude.

Yeah, it did it.

But like I had a bunch of game or shit everywhere.

I remember, like, god this while time stamp and so I got hired at g I in two thousand and nine.

So prior to that, the last couple of years before that, I was at Garman doing tech support for GPS, and so Castle Crashers I had like my girlfriend at the time and gave me like a Castle Crashers figurines and stuff like I know, I know exactly which ones I had one of those.

Yeah, yep, yep.

So I had those and just a bunch of different games I'd like, you know, Pearlar Bead, MegaMan things and stuff like that.

Yeah, just a bunch of like what was it think geek was that the site that had h Yeah, like I would usually get people would give me gifts from there that were like video game centric or whatever.

Yeah, I you know, I think all things considered, we had a pretty cool office, oh like CBS New York.

Yeah, I liked it.

I mean I was weird that we were a giant office and I knew like four people.

But respectfully, I think that's a you thing that might have been a me thing.

Yeah, yeah, but you.

You were the one person outside of our little cluster that I've been.

I'm gonna go stand by Backlarer's desk talk to him a little bit, which was.

Maybe twenty feet from where you were, right right, But it was a different cluster and I didn't know anybody else.

I was intimidated by all the strangers.

But you only interacted with me, right, Do you really talk to like my name?

It funk like finance guys throwing footballs around and stuff.

It was not really my crew.

I was in the production pit.

That's that was all like the the.

You knew you knew the popcorn Man and he was.

The popcorn Man.

I know, two for two for popcorn Man.

Popcorn Man seemed like he took himself pretty seriously.

Yes, and no huge week for popcorn Man.

Uh, jam, what were you gonna say?

No?

I was just saying, this is two weeks in a row.

Now that we've mentioned popcorn Man, I hope we mean it to a third me too.

I should let him know we're talking about him and thinking about him.

You were you were gonna I feel like I interacted type of guy that.

Would probably he's never done this, But I just just popcorn man.

I bet would have stories.

He wants to tell you about every one of his tattoos.

Uh, No, I think you're I think that's a bit of a misread on him.

No, he's the man without a birthday.

Yeah, you know, the popcorn man.

Watch out, watch out for him.

He's got no birthday.

No one knows how old.

I did watch out for him.

That's why I didn't go to your cluster often.

You waited till the popcorn goddamn right, he did away from the machine.

I moved sneak in there and grab a cup.

I missed that, but he left his post.

God when I when I first started here, I sustained myself for months just drinking coffee and free popcorn from the breakroom.

It was glorious.

You guys had a coffee shop in the lobby.

We'd walk through it to get to our desk.

It was great.

And the dude that made the coffee, he was super nice.

I talked to him every morning.

I forget his name, jam, but he was great.

And I got there in the sodas were twenty five cents each, so I delimed myself.

But yeah, he's coach.

Oh give me a dozen a day.

Oh but we did have freshly brewed iced tea every day, and that was that was wonderful.

That was great.

I was never a tea guy.

Really.

The hot tea and iced team, though, that was.

That was Uh, that was just go for it, okay.

You know.

That is when I knew shit was gonna was going downhill when the turbo coffee stopped coming in right, you know, So when you start to look around, you're like, are they dimming the lights in here too?

Coffee?

Are they?

Are they?

Are they getting some money back on running the lights at eighty percent?

Is that what's happening?

You know?

What's fucked up.

We didn't have bagels at the New York office, did we?

Yes?

We did every week every Friday.

I was gonna say it was fucked up that we got that in San Francisco but not in New York City.

But apparently I had forgotten about that.

Oh yeah we did, We totally did.

You're right there, you go.

Uh Backlar.

I don't know if you were ever informed of this, but there was at least a San Francisco office email stir written saying hey, seene it people stop going down to the games floor and taking the bagels.

Oh, inter floor bagel scandal.

I've heard of this, yes.

And then once we got over that hurdle, someone started taking the peanut butter, and then that made Rory very upset.

I get it's the only way he'll take his medicine, you know, you know, you know, I think what's crazy is we only had one floor.

It was just the tenth floor in that building, so we didn't have any like tribal kind of like.

We had to the secret toilet store or the toilet floor.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, And of course I think maybe we're talking on never been about our podcasts about the basement floor or the basement showers, you know about that.

Yeah, there were basement showers and and free toilet pooping like where you could just like freely, but.

It wasn't specified pooping like it's.

Because like we just you know, you knew, you were like, I'll be right back.

I'm going in the elevator to to to zero floor zero, because you knew that's where you know, Dan, I meant.

To tell you this earlier, but I'm at the Robot Hotel again, right of course.

Yeah, there's no more.

That.

Yes, there's no more front desk.

What is it really?

Just a I They just texted me a code saying like, hey, even though you got the early check in, we'll text you in like five minutes.

Dog.

They they put still barely They put a wall where the front desk used to be to just block it off.

Wow are there have you seen a human that works there?

Yet?

There's people painting but I don't know what they're painting.

Wow, wow, wait, so now you know I do.

I will be I will say like there's something very nice about seeing a friendly face when you get into your hotel lobby.

However, how's it going?

And you help me with this?

What's a good place to eat?

Yea da YadA?

Yeah, well I didn't go to the last time you guys stayed there.

I was sick.

I missed.

I missed here.

So, like what's the experience?

Like, like, are is it just very like cold and and sort of you know isolating?

Like yeah, like well, like the beds are generally pushed up against the wall, Like the feet of the foot of the bed is like right up against the wall.

Right bring up the feet of the bed or against the wall.

So there's like a thoroughfare behind, like you'll sleep with your head there and then there's like a shelf there and then you can walk behind.

Your feet are right up because and the TV is above the actual mattress.

It's a weird situation there.

So so you know what, I don't get you ever watch those like Japanese like closet pod hotel videos?

Yes, why when?

Oh I don't know, but they're very popular, or at least they're popular for content, and they seem very inviting in a way that like somehow this is worse than that.

Yeah, I don't know.

Also, I've been trying to like get the thermostat to work because it's hot in La and it says cool right now, but it's like seventy eight degrees in the room.

Oh that's hot.

Oh I remember having thermostat problems there too, and like I I need my hotel room at like sixty eight or lower.

Good stuf.

All right, all right, happy birthday, yes, Lucas, thank you Lucas.

Happy birthday.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

And I'm sorry your birthday is also Jeff Keeley's birthday because today's birthday.

No, But like the game awards is.

Just Winter Birthday?

Yeah, now it's two birthdays as is normal.

No, we wish you the happiest of birthdays, Lucas, wait to be all right.

We went to twitch Chef for the next voicemail.

They chose remember Bush don MP three.

Ay bom so I'm like twenty six, which means I'm orange Jeff enough to kind of remember Bush.

But mostly just people kind of complaining about the things he was.

I understand politically is impacting any other?

But is food off our families?

A reference to when he did the too many single mothers can't put food on their families?

Is that this whole bitch I just.

No.

Shockingly, it's from wrestling.

Actually it's somehow it has to do with Jeff Hardy getting too fucked up when he fought Sting and they have to not have a match and he got fired and he fucked up the man event of a pay per view, and then when he came back after he was sober, one of those times he had to apologize to the entire locker room.

As like bits like they're like backstage things where it's like ooh, it's fantasy, but it's reality.

It's wrestler's mad at him.

But like so AJ Styles, who is the most like company man, Like we got to do our jobs and get paid.

Guy ever was like, I got family to feed.

You can take food off my family.

But I think he actually said, you're gonna take money off my family.

But right after you're talking about food and you're just straight up deadlock.

Always referred to a food off family.

It's interesting because it is like a thing that happens with language where phrases become shortened, right, like, you know, supposed to be food off my family's table.

You can see how that maybe eventually turned into food off my family.

But it's ridiculous.

Yes, pretty good.

AJ Styles, not George W.

Bush, although he definitely voted for George W.

Bush twenty six.

You were born in nineteen ninety nine.

You don't remember.

Eight during the presidency still.

I mean I remember Georgia hw and he was out for I was eight.

Yeah, yeah, I remember the Oh, I guess I remember.

Clinton's election is really the first time I was aware of much of it.

So I remember like that happening because like they made us vote in class for like George H.

W.

Bush or Clinton, and like we just I don't know how to vote for somebody.

I once to everyone who my dad told me to vote for.

Yeah, keep up yourself, buddy, Okay.

I remember going to my dad because that was my first election I was aware of.

I was eight, and like I was obsessed with Mad magazine and like SNL and like you know, all these like political satire stuff back then, and so Paro was just everywhere because like every fucking SNL was Ross Perot sketch, and so I just assumed that, like, well, he's the one people talk about the most.

And I remember like election day being like, oh, so Ross Perrot is definitely gonna be the next president, right, and Dad being like, what, no at all?

Okay.

I think it's probably eye opening that as a child I thought George Bush was stupid.

Yeah.

No, I think that was the whole thing.

That his gimmick that was the stick, especially media portrayed on which you know was great, but.

Yeah, I mean he just walked around like he constantly had a concussion.

It was crazy.

The uh that actually tracks because he was in office until beginning of nine, which I would imagine is how like I think of Ronald Reagan.

Yeah, I have the same relationship with he Yeah that Reagan is my bush o, my god analogy.

Yeah, there are adults now who are children when like Obama was president's h what do you mean?

Of course?

I guess, I guess, of course, but geez.

Yeah, for me, the mile marker is nine to eleven is and it's like that sure.

Yeah.

And the fact that like I play hockey with kids who were like two when nine to eleven happened is insane to me.

I don't want to talk about that anymore.

Uh.

Yeah, he knows about it.

Yeah, we've done this, but bro, what are you are you asking?

Where does about it?

Right?

Like?

What's that about it?

Right?

Well, you know, I don't think he's bummed about it in the way that like we were, right, Yeah, like are you were you bummed out about Uh?

I remember a lot of sleepless nights when I was nine thinking about the humanity.

Yeah, you know, it's uh, it is weird.

I will say that to like even have the conversation because he learned about it in school.

I told you, guys the you know, the back to school night last year.

You know, the teacher literally said and then in August and then in uh and then in February, we're gonna do nine to eleven, and I was like, uh, eleven, cover it?

Okind of cool boy?

Yeah, you know I think you know, we go to New York enough where he's just sort of like is that where they were?

And I'm like, okay, yeah, you know, there's gonna be a whole age of children just looking up old movie trailers and they're going to come across the Spider Man one right with the Helst City.

The Old King Kong, the Old King Kong whre he climbs him.

The seventies one.

Yeah, marriages Okay, I thought you meant like the Empire, stable language, the.

Twin Towers.

Yep, yep, I said, the two Towers.

Yeah, yeah, you know.

I mean, look, you guys remember two comic cons ago I was.

I was in New York talking to a twenty four year old.

It was just like you're from around here, right, And I was like, yeah, like so like for real, what was not eleven?

Like was it fucked up?

It's like chill?

Actually everywhere, we got a day off of school.

Everyone tom super calm, everyone very reasonable.

Yeah, And it's what is from a more sort of like anthropological point of view.

You know, like life has not been the same obviously, and for someone who has been born in a post on, like they don't know that life before it, right, yeah, which is same thing with COVID, right, Like you have these like mile markers that changed the trajectory of humanity for the foreseeable future.

So it's yeah, we are in a interesting thing, I guess.

I maybe this is the last thing we should mention about nine to eleven.

But sure, we'll see about that.

I I uh, similar to grub where grub likes little teensy little consoles, I like little toy cameras.

And I was looking at a TikTok of a toy camera and it was like a little Jimmy jam you can put on your keychain.

And they were just showing some sample videos and then one of them was from nine to eleven.

What, yeah, just mixed into the montage.

I'll try and find it.

But I was just I was stun locked.

I'm like, wait a minute, this you're trying to sell this, now, this is a selling.

Put Oh wow.

Yeah, I believe it, man, I believe anything, you know, I really do.

Yeah, I mean, how are we gonna have a voicemail called remember Bush and not somehow land in this conversation, all right, we went to YouTube.

Yeah, go ahead, just to bring it back to nine to eleven.

Uh watch, bring it back an old Monday.

Nitro recently for for Deadlock, and I forgot.

There was this whole period where Hulk Hogan in two thousand was like legitimately as much as anything Hulk Hogan ever did was legitimate.

His whole thing was like, I'm running for president.

Brother, he went on, remember that, I remember press coverage.

Yeah, and like Leno was like, are you gonna be a Republican or Democrat?

And he just gave it, wouldn't even answer that question.

But yeah, for like a while he was like, yeah, I'm running for president.

And they realized on the podcast that if Hogan had run and won, Hulk Hogan would have had to deal with nine to eleven.

I mean, okay, I don't know, like, I don't know a bag of sand.

Dealing with nine to eleven would have been interesting too.

I don't know how God, uh, mammory slits.

That is a memory slip.

Let me tell you, all right, thank you caller, I guess, thank you, chat I guess we're gonna go to YouTube chat.

YouTube chat appropriately enough chose.

Why why are you not called the dump male voice truck?

What?

What the fuck did you just say dump male voice That's that's bad.

It's not dm VT dump mail voice truck where we're not calling it because that's bad.

Yeah, what's a voice truck?

Caller?

Explain yourself.

I think a voice truck is like Remember and Back to the Future where he goes back to time.

There's like that van driving around with the speakers promoting that guy from mayor.

I think that's a voice truck.

That's a voice truck truck to lead that guy's account.

No, get down, that was a president.

This guy's is it?

Goldie Wilson yea, yeah, yeah, he's gonna be mayor someday.

Wow.

I want a pepsi free.

If you want a pepsi kid, you gotta pay for it.

I'm a married man.

Yeah.

People do eat bear?

What I assume they're eating?

Like brown?

No?

Berry?

Berry?

Berry?

Did you here anti fruit?

Your brain shut out the possibility.

He was saying.

Berry heard bear?

What kind of bear?

Would you?

I'm like, I guess I don't know.

What bear people eat something, eat some whole er.

You know, most in danger.

Seem the most delicious when you think about eats.

Yeah, it's a lean uh yeah, my bad?

Uh yeah?

Berries whatever, Sure, I tell you what to eat.

Berries over a lot of other fruits are so small I could probably just swallow them whole and move on my life.

You told Joe about grapes.

Yeah, grapes are kind.

Of grapes are and berries though I don't think right they're not berries?

Strategy for them?

What my strategy?

Berries?

I wouldn't even choke on.

Man.

You I love a good blueberry man.

Yeah, blueberry man.

I like, I'll take a blueberry woman or a man.

I don't care.

I'm a strawberry strawberry.

Yeah.

Those are no, No, those are bad.

Those are too big and juicy, They get wet.

They always put them on.

Like my breakfast at a fancy place and I got strawberry juice on my pancakes.

I had to cut that part out to discussion juice.

You know what, I legit?

Do you give me a watermelon sized strawberry and I would just go to town on it.

It was like, that's a that's an upsetting visual not because you like, it wouldn't.

Be as big, the seeds would be tiny still, because.

Those seem like hockey pucks in this analogy, right, I.

Don't want I don't want the seeds.

Man, Strawberries are good as hell.

Yeah, dude, oh mikey.

The fact that you're like, you'll never enjoy a smoothie.

I hate smoothies.

What uh?

I can't, I can't.

I gotta like milkshakes either.

I don't like thick drinks.

I didn't know this.

So like a pean like one that didn't have anything to do with fruit, like a peanut butter situation, you wouldn't do.

Nah, you got rules.

Huh.

You got a lot of drinks.

Yeah, there's some tiki drinks that are thick.

What about those?

I wouldn't drink those.

So it's a thick water.

Thick water is the thing you can buy, and it's for like, I think it's for people that like have trouble swallowing.

And there was a guy I rated once on Twitch and that was like an incentive he add where it's like, oh yeah, if you give five subs or whatever, he'll just take a big chug of thick water.

Yeah, it's just like a clot in it or something.

It was goofy water, Yeah, gelatine or something in there, I would imagine.

Yeah, No, it's just called thick water.

Yeah.

I did see dirty soda at the Mall of America and that upset me.

Or dirty the milk soda, right, dirty milk soda.

I'm I'm learning a lot in this soda with creamer in it, I believe.

Yeah, huh.

I would have thought it's like soda, soda and coffee.

No, I don't think I did that the other day.

It's a Mormon.

I didn't realize that.

It's coming as thing.

I don't know.

It's like right next to the loo boo boo stand to give you idea where it is culturally.

Yeah, all right, I'll try anything once.

All right, mikey, go for it.

Uh, Tom and Jerry.

So I recently learned there's a mobile Tom and Jerry Gotcha game, and my first reaction was, how can there possibly be enough Tom and Jerry characters to fill out a Gotcha game?

But then I thought, I bet Mike Minatti had can answer that.

Uh.

So, here you go, Mike, now's your chance to impress everyone with your knowledge of obscure characters from classic children's animations.

Oh that was.

No, no, no, they're not looney Tune because from my mom and tweety yeah yeah, yeah, no, no, this was this was MGM's big cartoon brand.

And like, god, there's the little like because I can picture the character.

It's just the little duck.

I don't remember that guy, and maybe the Whackers or something.

Then there was like the smaller Jerry who was gray and wore a diaper.

It is a quacker and do you know that I'm looking at the diaper mouse?

Now do you remember the name of that?

So the duck is Quacker?

Who is the tiny mouse of the diaper?

I trying to think because he was a playable character in the S n E S.

Tom and Jerry game.

You could play as this guy.

So try to picture the character select screen in my mind's eye right now.

But gosh, I don't know.

Maybe this baby maybe just baby.

It's nibbles mouse would nibbles.

There's Spike, bulldog.

There's a bulldog.

Yeah, Mammy two shoes, don't remember Mammy two shoes.

Cat and toodles Glory.

What is the deal with toodles Glory?

I want to know if they have characters from that weird like nineties animated movie where they talked like the little girl that Adopted them or something like that.

Wait, is there is one of them really called diaper mouse?

No?

No, no, wearing a diaper?

That's my qualified.

Sounds like a Viagra boys song.

I don't like what I'm saying from Tootles Glory, all right, I might look up Tootles Glory.

Is this just like the sexy cat?

I think that's what they're going for.

Is it the very bosomy one Galore?

There's a yeah, I know this is yeah, yeah, this was this was uh the object of Tom's affection.

I see wow, yeah, very yes, the sexy Okay, I remember Toodles Galore.

I don't know why her name is Tootles Galore.

But the Chad says, don't forget normal.

I didn't Normals Garfield.

I know Garfield.

Yeah, I like Normal.

Was Spike the dog a heel?

I think so because I feel like I've seen him in video games as a boss fight.

But I might be thinking of the one in Tiny Tunes Adventures Buster or Bust Loose.

Sure, I mean it might because Spike also had a son.

But in my mind, Spike honestly usually was kind of minding his own business and then like Tom and Jerry would kind of get him involved, and then yeah, he would fight them.

But I honestly, I think Spike was just trying to live.

I am thinking that the bull from.

I think it's amazing that Tom and Jerry have still found a morsel of relevancy.

Yeah in twenty twenty five, right.

They had a movie two years ago, two or three years ago.

They did have that weird like live action that was it a streaming service only movie?

I think it might have been.

I can't remember now.

No, yeah, I don't.

I don't think that like did well though.

No, Sean and Chat just said, I watched Tom and Jerry every day.

Explain yourself what everything In.

The morning when I'm getting ready, I just put on Cartoon Network and watch why are they have a Scooby Doo and shit?

And they just played Tom and Jerry at like eight am.

So that is very like millennial child.

Well, there is, like you know, they have several different Tom and Jerry's from, like you know, every two decades they do a new one, and there's one that was from only like a few years ago that they play on Cartoon Network.

Interesting.

Yeah, those classic cartoons are very good.

Like the one where Tom's playing the piano and Jerry's getting class stuff.

That's a classic.

I think it won an Oscar or something like that.

There's some good ones.

There's some good ones also.

Chad's asking if I pay for cable?

No, are you crazy?

What?

Thirty?

Yeah?

Yeah?

What do you want?

Who?

Yeah?

Whenever I walk into a house that still has cable, I'm just sort of like, what, like what happened?

You know?

Who suckered you?

And why you still pay for cable?

Mikey No, I just think it's mostly old people, right, like my.

Yeah, yeah, I guess that's like the new like you know, screen smoothing, right, you know.

And it is like gonna just be like in like thirty years when like they're all dead, like no more cable, right, Like it's just gonna go away, you know.

The main speaking of cable stuff, and also Looney Tunes and cartoons and stuff, the main thing I'm thinking of with all this Warner Brothers stuff going on, with all this hostile takeover and Paramount and all that is, Yeah, I swear to god, they saved Coyote versus acme.

If it fucking goes away again, I'm gonna be pissed.

Off because you imagine, can you imagine if once again did anyone see The Day the Earth, The the Porky Pick Daffy Duck cartoon one that came out last year that was really good.

I liked it.

Have not yet good stuff, good stuff.

It was fine at complaining that, like Netflix is gonna turn Looney Tunes gay?

Yeah, that's fine, that's funny.

I mean it already is kind of gay, right, very gay, very It's yeah, who's the gayest Looney Tune bugs?

Bunny?

Oh yeah, well he cross stresses constantly, right, like okay, yeah, he pulls it off.

Great.

Elmer is none the wiser.

Yeah yeah, yeah, Elmer's none the wiser.

Every time we know who Elmer's voting for, all right, is.

A trans icon like rightfully?

So really?

Yeah, Marvin, Marvin the Marshaan I was a fan of too for sure.

Oh yeah, I love that.

It was always one of my favorite bits when like Daffy Duck would get shot and his beak would.

Be like on the other side of It's great.

How many other people because the cartoons whatnot thought that turtles could come out of their shells their entire lives until like pretty late into No.

For me, it just normalized gun violence.

Mm hmm.

That is what Mooney Tunes did for me, because when you because when you get a shotgun to the face, your beak just turns around.

Yeah it's fine, Like you maybe look a little ashy, but then you shake that off.

Yeah, thing, you're fine.

Yeah, man, they killed they kill Daffy Duck in some shorts.

I'm sorry, I don't think.

Huh, that's that's it.

All right, let's go to me.

It's me, it's my try real quick.

It's the tire time.

I still have the chat bar open here, and I'm just constantly looking at this dolphin diagram.

Oh gross, come on, better than that.

All right.

We only have four left.

I don't know if we'll have time for a royale, but stranger things have happened.

Oh man, there's a sky voicemail.

I'm just seeing it now.

Please, Uh, Sean, let's hear it.

Yo.

Duffers just calling back in, uh regarding dac Stacred.

Damn dude, that's nice, Scocred, all right.

I love you all, including bac Alar, because yes, Scockred.

Thanks dog fellow Sky.

There were there were a lot of SKA related calls showing how impressed they were with you.

Was it not a I guess it wasn't clear of how deeply ingrained into that that world I was in the nineties.

Ie me, it's yeah.

No one has seen me skank.

No, that's a premium feature if I've ever heard of one.

Yeah, No one knows this.

But all of Bacolar's floors are all checkerboard pattern It's true.

Yeah, and uh, when you walk in, you're presented with like a series of trombones and trumpets and you're that's how that's when you ring my doorbell, it just says, pick it up, pick it up.

God, that'd be a good ring tone.

Done that right.

Uncle Ramota's backler was at the first Skanks giving.

That's awesome.

That's a different event.

Guys, that is one.

Yeah, yeah, I can't show up alone there.

All right, let's see chat.

It's your turn, and I guess we can go for the royale because there's only three left, so I guess yeah, Oh that's right, We've got to save one for the premium to Okay, we'll do shorts and then who knows which one is the one to keep for premium?

No, no, or you have an opinion?

Sorts?

Don't It's like all these are all bad.

It's fine, but if you don't know, we'll keep softball for the premium.

Yeah, I will do we save the voice dump mail truck.

A premium all right, let's do sure.

On that for ten minutes.

They don't so crue.

Just wondering what's your cutoff for shorts weather?

Like for me, if it's.

Sunny and there's no wind, I can go as low as fifty five then depending it goes up to like sixty five.

Anything above that would be to cut off.

But what is it for you?

I'm sure Jeff Grubb and the Dark Echo have Warren shorts and so forty degree weather, but yeah, that's it for you.

Thank you.

An interesting question for me it's fifteen to twenty degrees is when I start switching over the pants.

What do you mean like outside not.

Out like I don't know if I'm going to the mailbox, Like I will go out to the mailbox and like negative twenty like in just like a T shirt.

It's not great, but it's like, look, I'm gonna.

Be out there.

Forty generally mean like going out and being like an outdoor event or something, well, not even that, but just like leaving the house and like you're clothed and you're you're counting for the weather and the clothes you're wearing because you're going to a restaurant, or even because I'm even I'm not touching fifties.

If it's if I see the number five right there, then I'm like, it's no longer short weather jeans are now what's happening?

And even in like the little sixties propa maybe a gene situation.

Now it's it's like freezing, I'd say, like, if it's under freezing, I will put pants on.

If I'm you'll wear shorts and forty degree weather, forty is fucking tropical around here.

Yeah, So like for me, I'm the opposite.

I I won't wear shorts unless it's ninety, like I'll wear pants all the time.

I'm more of a pants all the time.

Guy, because I like, I don't like, you know, shorts.

Yeah, Like I'm not a big fan of like the look of shorts, and I think, you know, like I'll go to the ice drink and I'll see fucking dad's rock and shorts and a hoodie and I'm just like, what happened?

Like what, like it's forty degrees in there.

So like for me, I don't understand the people who wear shorts no matter what, They're just like I can't.

Yeah, it's fine, whatever, what would you do?

Whatever you want?

I just for me, I'm the I'm the inverse.

I'm like, how hot does it have to be that I'm finally going to succumb to shorts?

Do you know what I mean?

That's how I.

Also, I also don't like wearing short socks.

I don't want to put shorts on, and I don't want to accommodate for socks.

Yeah.

See, I don't think I like shorts.

I like Jane, so like I have no like issues there, like short socks, I like long socks.

For me, it's just it's just a weather thing, so you know, like like like yes, it's like once either again that sixty degree barrier or if it's like you know, we're in November now.

I'm like, I don't think shorts are happening.

I'm not even thinking about like keeping those in the washing rotation.

Those are kind of off to the side now.

I'm not worrying about them for a while less, you know, like you know, I had to bust them out when I went to Florida.

Though.

That was interesting because in Florida it was kind of you know, little sixties and for some of the people who live in Florida, they're like freezing and they're wearing like sweaters and long pants.

I too.

I don't think it's just me.

I think it's around here.

I think people are pretty quick to go to shorts because like it is just for the months that it's so brutal.

You are just the first day where it's like not painful to be outside, it's like, all right, putting on the shorts, you know.

Yeah, it's been brutal here, by the way, I'm sure I know it's been bad where you are too, Damn you you're basically in Canada.

But yeah, I hope it warms up a little bit for everyone next week.

More snow than it is.

Like, this is not the coldest winter we've had.

It's like ten right now, which isn't bad, and it's like but it's like over a foot of snow.

That's a lot.

All right, Well, think that was that was a that was a fair reasonable question caller.

Thank you, you are the most normal caller of the episode.

All Right, we've got one more.

We did it, folks, another dump royal.

But I think this is this is this back to back royal.

Yeah, yeah, totally.

Uh, I we've never done that.

Good job.

Thank you everyone who called in.

We're gonna take this last voicemail and then we'll be back with everyone next week.

Let's listen to I guess we're doing Jeff do MP three.

Jeff should open his own food stand called Jeff Snacklebar Bye.

Already, head you bud so.

But then there will be the competing food stand right next to it, across the might call it, you know, Jeff Grub, and then yeah, we'll see who wins.

The last time I was in Hoboken, I sent Grub a photo that was basically like the Grub store, but it was like two bees.

I think that's the chain.

There's one near the Brooklyn Bridge too.

Oh wow, I sent him a picture from that one.

Yeah, oh I shocking.

Yeah.

Someone in chat is saying, Mike Biscotti, Sure, yes, I find I've thought about that.

A lot bakery.

There's a there's a Larry Local bakery that's closing.

I could just sweep that up.

Get my Piscatti's going, you know, I could do that in a month.

That's my new career path.

Screw you Wall, Mike Manicotti as well.

Mike Manicotti.

Yeah, that's you know, more savory, and I love a good Manicotti.

Although you know, am I gonna do like the crape version of Manicotti?

Am I doing more of a pasta version of it?

I'm not sure.

I'd have to think about it.

A little Cool would be the partisanal h, what would be the signature dish at your restaurant?

Mike and my restaurant.

Go to Mikey's because they served well, it's obviously the unlimited salad, but it's also what where do we go?

There be an Italian joint?

Though of course it would, Yeah, I would.

I would like to think I could, we would have a good chicken parm.

If my restaurant can't have a good chicken parm, I don't want a restaurant.

I was at.

I was in Asbury Park a couple of weeks ago, and they gate I had a the chicken parm at a restaurant there called Judy's.

And they were like, oh, this parm is not your average parm and they really upsold the parm.

It's like, oh, chicken parm in New Jersey, Wow, groundbreaking.

You'll never get away with this, right, Well, you know what they did.

It's like they it was almost like a spatch cocked kind of thing.

Oh okay, there was a little bit of bone in the chicken, which is it was obvious.

But that was obviously that was It wasn't like a hazard.

They they must have like twice fried it or whatever.

And then after the chicken was ready, without sauce and without cheese, they then separately poured that element on right as it was coming out.

So the.

Dude, I'm not joking.

Top five chicken palm of my life.

That's this is a good point by Sean though, Dan, what do you think spatch cocking is?

Ah?

The only thing I could do when I heard that phrase was just do the the ice thing that you do when you hear something vaguely sexual and just like whoa, that's all.

It just sounds like something something cock related.

I don't know.

Chicken would.

How would you?

I don't know what spatch means.

What's spatching?

Brother?

Dispatch a verb?

Let's patch it with you?

Nothing much baby, memory the memory spatch all right?

Put in wrestling terms, spash no, no, no, we can do this.

Okay.

If you took a wrestler and you cut off his ribs so that you could lay his carcass flat.

That would be wrestler.

Gee.

It's like, uh, Dan, it's like when Gunter would power bomb someone, pre power bomb someone so he's weakened by like hurting his spine, and then power bomb him again to pick.

Getting him ready for the real deal.

Okay, the real deal.

Yeah, okay, I see all right, all right, hey, rooting for Gunter tomorrow Saturday.

Uh we learned everything today.

We've covered all disciplines, all culinaries.

It's a dump royale.

Thank you for making it happen.

Thank you to all the chats.

Thank you to Jen, thank you to Dan, thank you to Mikey, and thank you Sean.

We'll be back with a brand new episode.
