Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rolling Rolling, Welcome to bull Chat. This is bull Chat.
It's the sister podcast The Serial Killers, which we just recorded.
That's why Andrew burped. Yeah, but it wasn't because the
milk was lactaid, So I'm not allergic to it.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You were not allergic to milk. It's an intolerance. You're
not allergic intolerance. Other people that have dairy allergies just intolerances.
I'm sure there's an allergy to milk. Why don't we
type it in on.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Your just like I'm the tolerant to you. No, you're not.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I'm not allergic to you, but I am intolerant.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Oh really, uh huh? Is that what you think intolerances?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yes, that's what your That's what your stomach does when
something comes in and it doesn't like.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh really, wow. I know you're a scientists. Now, I've
heard all about your farmer tales. But oh man, scientists.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Do a big farming weekend, big farming week you're enough
for the big Christmas tree sales.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Hey, Christmas tree sales. It is, this is a season,
and you cut down the trees for them. I will
help with a saw, but I helped bring up the
sign this weekend. I asked if you saw down the tree,
she said, I help, Well, I will, No, I will help.
It's not yet, it's not yet. It's only it's only
for two weekends. That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, you cut your own tree, but some people can't,
so I'll help.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Oh, you got weedy bix on the floor. Oh I spoiled.
Next week's an episode. That's fine, that's good. Yeah. So
it's it's busy season and busy back and forth fro
you know, city boy to farm life. It's like, whoa,
it's it's very, very busy. No, because remember your farm boy.
Also where you lived, you grew up behind an olive
tree plant or.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, it was potatoes and then tomatoes. Yeah, no, you
were always a farm boy. Well I grew up on
a farm.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So now it's and you
are you also still live I grew up, I grew
up farm adjacent. No, and you still are so rural
where you are? Yeah, dude, I went to the tractor
supply for the first time. Exactly. You don't even know
what that is. You just are so farming. You know
what that is? A tractor supply store. Let me think
it doesn't sell tractor and supplies for the farm.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well some I don't think they sell tractors. Actually they
sell accessories for the tractor and for everything. Like I
bought boots, I bought cats. I bought cat boots there.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well that went on the episode. No, I actually didn't
because it wasn't enough. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No, I bought new boots. Great, they weren't steel tip,
but do you know that you're not allowed to wear
Timbuland's on the farm? Could have looked down upon. That's
city city folk. That's like, those are fake, fake boots
for farmers. I got laughed at and then I had
sketchers and they laughed even harder. So I got cats,
but I think you're supposed to get red wings. Those
are the hardcore ones.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
But they're expensive. They are so dude, first time attractors
supply And I had a coupon. Is that insane? I
don't know where or how, but I saved ten percent.
That's great. Wow, so city, sorry so rural, so country.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Can I tell you how I did it? It was
actually it was like backdoor style. So I went onto
the I went on to the website to see, you
know what boots they had. While I was in the
store and it said this weekend only buy online, pick
up in store. Saved ten percent.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Wow. So I went online. I purchased them online picked.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I was literally holding them and the girl was like,
oh wait a second, I have a pickup order I
have to grab I'm like, no, no, no, it's it's this.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I just did it. And she was like, what you know,
it's so hard for them being so rural out there. Yeah,
they probably aren't thinking, like what's that new fangle in internet.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
She's like, wait, are you Scott And I said yeah.
She said, oh, okay, well I guess you're good. Just down,
just take them.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Great. It was so cool and I saved I saved
eleven dollars. That's great. How much was the shoes? They
were one hundred and there's no tax in New Jersey,
which is even better. I know, we a lot of
stuff that that's why their moll out there is great. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So something that would have cost me one hundred and
nine ten eleven dollars in New York cost me eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Dollars in New Jersey. Wow, would you look at that?
That's big savings. It is big savings. Yeah, good for you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So yeah, then I went and I went down. I
got myself a flake of hay and gave it to
Bob the horse. Cool and had a great day.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's awesome, Scott.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Wow, so farmer had a blast. Yeah, of course, barking
at the goats. Fine, good times. He loves being he
loves being farm dog, big farm dog. He missed ten
years of his life.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, I mean go down to Nick's farm. Nick's farm
was great. He got good training there. Yeah. Is that
how big the farm you're on is? It's it's a
little it's about probably a comparable, different, different setup, but comparable.
There's a barn with animals and stalls and things. Yeah. Yeah.
And then there's a big upper top part.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Where they have like like hunting things, but they they're dilapidated.
They've been used in a long time. They used to
let people come in and like hunt, but they don't
do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, I couldn't hunt. I couldn't either. I feel so bad.
I do as well. I tell you those those bucks
they're a nuisance, but I couldn't. I could never. We
have bucks in my parents backyard right now, and they
are it's like the season for them to just cause
a ruckus. You wont know why because of the daylight savings.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's mating season. They're looking for the dose man. The
does have their tails up in the air and the
bucks are chasing. That's why they're running across the road
like it's nobody's business. Yeah, getting slammed left and right.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's not good. Figure. Actually, there's so many of them
on the road to my parents. Oh, I know, I
passed seven of them yesterday. I'm ready. Yeah, it ain't great. Nope.
And they're all like, yeah, leg up here. And like
I said on this big show today, if you notice
the dead deer that have been there for a day
or two, the butts are all eating out because of
the vultures because they go to the butts first because
(05:18):
it's soft tissue. I learned that. I learned it.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They don't go to they don't go to the head
of the face because they got all bones there the
butt's wide open, yep.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Or they'll go for the eyes ew. Yeah. Anyway, Turkey
vultures not great. See.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I can't quite get with that country life, the like
the the dead animal thing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm not not into it. Yeah, I mean, roadkill is roadkill.
It's not great.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, well, I mean that's that happens because animals are dumb.
And I know people say.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well, you're encrouching on their home. We've built roads in
their home.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I get it, But those things happen. It's like when
I'm driving down the road and a squirrel runs out,
I'm like, no, no, and I close my eyes and
I probably could get into an accident. And if I
don't hear a thud, I'm like, I don't see it
in the road. It must be must have been. I
didn't save it. I just didn't kill Rocky. You saved
Rocky and Bullwinkle. No, well yeah, technically Winkles a moose?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah right. Moose are big, Yeah they are. They're very scary.
When we were on the off last off the Grit trip,
I was really that was my first time getting up
close with a moose. And let me tell you, they
are huge and they are scary. Do they do stuff? Yeah,
they'll ram into you. Oh, they chase you thought they
were docile. No, they will chase you. You're not supposed
to get close. But then what do people do go
(06:27):
up taking pictures? Yes, right, yeah, it's not great, like
look at me, Yeah, get mauled stupid the mall. Oh
here we go. Well, oh yeah, I'll call him back anyway.
So what were you saying? I'm sorry? Oh what I
was saying? Yeah, oh I had a bad dining experience
(06:49):
this weekend. There is a restaurant by my parents' house. No, okay,
it's this restaurant and their whole thing is that the
chefs and the waiters they swap. Why every week, it's
like an innovative concept. No, it's dumb. What was that
servers cannot cook? So so yes, the way that they
(07:14):
do the restaurant is they one week the waiters are
the server or are the are the chefsky like they're
all they're all trained chefs. Oh okay, so they just
swap week after week. But they don't like that. They
don't like being servers. I don't think they do. And
let me tell you what really pisses me off about it.
It's a New York concept with suburban sensibility. Which is
(07:37):
no knock on suburban people. It's just in New York.
The concept would be brilliant and I know it could
be done. Well. There you have a bunch of people
that are just kind of like, no, it's just an
art man, and it's like, no, you have to work
with some like go faster. They weren't going fast at all.
It took us an hour and a half just to
get the first course because of a price. Because because
(08:00):
they're pissed. That's the rebellion. That's the rebellion. They're like, sorry,
we didn't uvia the tickets right. I'm like, well, was
it because of my chef waiter or was it because
of my or your ticket system? It was your dumb waiter.
It was terrible because then it's also an open kitchen,
so the whole time I'm just staring at the kitchen
and watching my food not come to me.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I mean that's kind of like like Elvis switching jobs
with like me on a weekly basis, and he have
to come in here and do this and I gotta
do that.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
What a mess that would be. I So here's the thing.
I do find that you should be able to do
more than one job. Agree, I think you should be
trained to do everything, but not chef unless it's just
I think they're trying for a Michelin star of some sort.
Not gonna get it that way. It's like the area
that it's in. They will never give it to a
restaurant in Mattawan, New Jersey. It's just not going to happen.
(08:46):
It's not going to become a destination. And the three
times that I went. The first time, the same thing
happened with the service. The second time when I went
with just my sister, great fast easy. But this last time,
with a table of five, we didn't leave for three hours.
It took three hours to get our meal, and then
they camped us one drink after we finished it, they
came over and they're like, we'll comp you your first round.
(09:07):
I'm like you, I don't even want to get a
second one because I don't even have food. Yeah, I
want to get out of here, right. And also, can
I ask a question?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I feel like I researched this at one point, but like,
why why is it so cool to have a tire
company say that your restaurant is good?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay? I think this is different with the Michelin. I
don't know why. I don't know where the other I
think it was way back in the day. It was
like there was like a book that they put out,
Like when cars started getting big, they put out some
kind of book like almost like a map of like
restaurants and it was like the Michelin Guide to Eating. Yeah,
maybe that's how it happened, I think, but it's surprising
(09:42):
to me that it's still like you have to be
like the top top like one percent of restaurants in
the entire world to get the most of them.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Really, yeah, can you get a second Michelin store, Yes,
you can get a third ooh.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So the first is basically like we like your vibe,
the second one is like the vibe, and the service
is like impact, and then like the third stars like
this is like pretty much a perfect rush. How many
triple Michelin star restaurants in the world are there. I
feel like there's probably only like a handful. I bet
you cannot get into them. Yeah, no, I mean even
two star ones. I went to a two star one
when I was in Portugal with my family, and that
(10:16):
was pretty much like you were locked in for four
hours and they explained your courses and they were little
baby plates and they did wine pairings and it was
like insane.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I would have to tend to believe that I've never ever, ever,
ever ever been in even a Michelin star one star.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Run, you'd be surprised. I think you may have. There
are many three mission star restaurants globally established the French
Laundry in New York. I think I went to per Se, California.
I had no idea. But also that's the AI answer.
That's wrong a lot. Yeah, that's very true. Wait, go
to listen wiki eleven Madison Park. That one was vegan
(10:54):
at one point and then they switched back.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Wow, look at all that. This is so out of
my world that I don't even care about this. I
just think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The thing with Micheline restaurants is that you could either
get super shishi no where it's like little plates, and
I find that to be nice. That's like an actual
chef where that's like their art to a degree, and
you really can have like a piece of apple that's
paired with tuna and it's like gonna be the best
little bite you've ever had in your life. But then
there's other places like a Carbone where it's like, yeah,
you're gonna have really good chicken porm. Oh wait, so
(11:23):
they change it year to year. Yes, you can get
your stars taken out away. Why if you suck? Basically
like if things aren't up to their standard, that's so
interesting to three Michelin Star restaurants. Click that right here? Yes, okay,
so let's see in France there's thirty one of them. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, I so don't care about this at all,
but I just think that it's interesting. Like I like
Cracker Barrel and waffle House. I've never been to a
Michelin Star.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Russ, Probably you did. You went to a Carbone. I've
never been to Carbone. You've never been inside Carbone? Nope,
well they got their star taken away. But yeah, I've
never been. I'm sure you maybe have been to one, because,
like I said, it run there's a whole bunch of
different ones. Like in Japan, for example, there's this place
called Den where they serve just fried chicken. So it's
like it's you think that it's gonna be like this thing.
(12:11):
It takes. You can't get in, it's impossible to get in,
but they make really they just make like good fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I bet there has been some like Elvis dinner or
luncheon or something that you've taken us to. Probably that's
probably been at a Michelin Star. And I was just like,
what is this.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean again, there's different ones can have a tasting menu,
or you could there's just really good, just plain restaurants
that are just get the star.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, that's cool. Yeah, I'm I'm bored with this.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Okay, so let's talk about how you put up a
sign and at a Christmas tree farm. Pretend. Why don't
we take a break and we'll be back right after.
Oh it went away, God bless America. Oh there it is.
We'll be back right after this, this and this. I
(13:03):
just got some mail and we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Andrew, Well, what do you have to talk about? I'm
pretty much I don't know. Holidays, holidays, holidays much.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Talk about not boring. It's the holiday season, folks.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, so much to do, so much to get done,
so many gifts to order, so many things to plan,
so many sights to see.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I just want some snow. Yeah, snowed a little bit
last night on the soccer game. That was weird. Yeah,
it's cold, I'm cold. Do you have any big plans?
I mean, you go to Florida? Cool? I mean, is
that it? Who's I don't know, but I got to
answer it. Everyone just keeps calling me. I don't get it.
I keep getting these terrible voicemails fakes. Just yeah, it's
(13:46):
all bad. But I have a code word with my
family now, so we're good. Really yeah, is it biscuits? No,
we have a code word in case there was ever
an AI scam, because you have to prepare for that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
This is true, and I like that, you know, it's
it's funny you say that because I did mention that
to my parents and we made a code word. But
I don't remember it, neither were.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
They, so they'll just keep getting scammedat it really.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Is very very very sad. Is it a voicemail chist
when you have a moment, Oh you owe them so
much money? No, it's fake.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
No, Yeah, it's the chase near my that I'm I
set up stuff in. Yeah, they're scamming you. Interesting they
need your social Security number. I mean if it's a bank,
they would no, no, no, they'd have it already. Okay, right,
be very very careful and you confirm your card.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Nope, everything's a scam. Just assume it's all a scam.
I mean I usually do, but the calls that I get, now,
it's crazy. And here's the thing. And I like when
I get a call, I always want to answer it
because it could be something, you know, how, I also
also realize that it's probably scam fake when the number
scrolls across. Have you noticed that if the number scrolls
(14:55):
across the screen, it's always and then you hear a
thousand people in the background, it's always scam call. But
other times I'll answer it. But my problem is if
I don't know who it is right off the bat,
and if I say hello and they don't answer right away,
I turn into instant jerk and I start cursing and stuff.
And then sometimes it's like my kid's school, so like
I have to be I don't know why, but there's
(15:16):
just this trigger inside of me that I just assume
that it's something fake. So I get mean and stupid
and angry, like right.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Away, why don't you save the school's number?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I did, because they call from all different exchanges, all
different numbers.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
How many different calls from different departments? Are you getting
a lot? So I'll just be like, hello, Hi, is
this Scott Well? Who's this Hi? This is missus bubble
Bon and the attendance office. Oh hi. You know, like,
I get instant angry and I need to learn to
not do that. Yeah, but it's very difficult because I
just assume everything's a scam. Well, I mean most things
(15:50):
are nowadays. So and then I apologize. I'm like, oh,
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize. But here I am big,
screaming jerk. I mean, doesn't look great for you. No,
sorry about that. And then they say, oh, now I
know where your kid gets it. Oh, speaking of she's
actually been put in detention again. Nah, she's a good kid.
She doesn't get detention. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I never got to tend, although she did get busted
with her phone in school, oh, a couple of weeks ago.
It is in the state of New York. It is
not I don't know if it's illegal, but you're not
allowed to have phones in school. Yeah, And I think
that's bs because you should be grandfathered in. If you
had your phone in school all through middle school and
now all of a sudden in ninth grade like, oh,
no phones, you should be able to go through the
(16:30):
rest of your school career public school career with the
phone limited, of course, but you should be able to
have it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
The problem is no one limits and then how are
you going to test the limits? Well, you could do
the thing where you have to put the phone the
in the thing when you come in. That's cool. You
shouldn't be on it in class. I get that, But
in between, like I need to know when I need
to go to school to pick up like it's important,
and they're like, well, you just come to the office
and there's a line of kids, Like it's not working.
It's just not working. It's upsetting.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
So cause I either have to pick her up at
one fifty or two thirty or three twenty, and I
don't know until she calls me, and she should be
able to text me throughout the dayes let me know.
It's inconvenient. I'm just saying they should be grandfathered. What yes, No, okay,
I don't think that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It does no, because then they become sophomores and now
the freshmen have to not use their phone, so they're
just gonna go to the soft That's stupid. It's all
or nothing. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It's just like when the drinking age was from eighteen
to twenty one. You turned eighteen, had a beer next day,
change Like damn it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, I think the drinking age being twenty one
is stupid. Yeah, everyone just drinks at eighteen and you
send your kid off to college to go live away
from you, they're drinking, I'm sorry, but not the good
ones that like to follow rules. Okay, So for every
one of those, there's ten others that don't know their
limits and then learn it in college, and unfortunately, some
of them learn the really hard way. So why don't
(17:53):
we just make it eighteen and stop pretending like you're
not You're not gonna drink at all. I do agree
with you. It's it's dumb phones. I get because I
think that is probably one of the biggest things that
is contributing to like horrible test scores. Okay, how dare
you text your dad at what time you need to
come home? But you may drink. It's two separate things. No,
(18:14):
your kid is probably drinking at a high school party anyway. Well,
my kid is probably on her phone in school anyway.
So how is she getting it? She has it. They
don't take it. You're just not allowed to use it,
so that's it. Yeah, there's no pocket that they put
it in. No, but you get in trouble if you
use it. That's the thing. They don't take it. From you. Honestly,
it was Yeah, you went to school like twenty years
ago and it was a flip phone, and guess what
(18:35):
what could you do with it? Text? Call like you
could with your phone in two thousand and seven, two
thousand and eight. Who calls? I call more now than
I actually do text. I just had a two way pager. Okay,
well again, that's you. Yeah in the nineties. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Actually, the two way pagers didn't really come around until
mid mid to late nineties. I think it's regular that
with the.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Phones, that's how it should be. With the phones. You
should not be texting. You should not have your phone
during class. Kids are just getting so so carried away
with the phones.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I agree with you there, but they should be able
to text in between periods.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
No, Dad, you gotta come get me. Oh there's point.
There's no point. Okay, there's no point.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So go be late to your next class while you
wait online at the office to call me to tell
me that you need to come and get me.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I think if it works in other places, why do
we have to be special flowers? It doesn't work. Need
to pretend it doesn't work, that our kids are so
much more important that they need to get in touch
with us at all times. Meanwhile, they're gonna use their
phone for forty two other different things. They're gonna film
a TikTok, they're gonna be texting each other during class,
they're gonna be cheating on tests. Well, then I think
they should bring beepers back. Honestly, I'm be fine with that. HM,
(19:40):
bring back a beeper yep nine or month. Great, go
line up at the payphone, perfect, bring back a phone
in each class and then they can call.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
In the eighties and nineties, we lined up at the
payphone great, twenty five cents perfect.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Them all had them too, every place had them, Andrew yes,
because there were no cell phones. I remember my grandma
locked herself out of the car and we had to
call Toe Company from the Freehold mall. It was just
a line of payphones and we had to wait Toe
Company to come.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, I remember it was really cool. In Penn Station
and a lot of like transit hubs around New York
City they would have a big old wall of payphones
and it was twenty five cents for anywhere in New
York State, so you can call anywhere. So I would
be able to call home along because it was long distance.
Back then it would have been like fifty or seventy
five cents, So you get thirty seconds for twenty five cents.
And I'd be like, okay, Dad, come pick me up
(20:27):
with the train station blah blah blah whatever, And he said,
don't you have another twenty seconds?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You might as well use the whole quarter. So just
what are you doing? Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Nothing, I'm just here watching some guy with no legs
throw up on the floor. Okay, well all right, we're
a thirty seconds now. Let's see at Farming Dell.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You know, Wow, what a great chat with your dad. Well,
I mean that was the eighties. Yeah, memories, throw up,
no legs, everything so cool.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
People that are listening that new Penn Station knew the
wall of phones I was talking about and then no
leg guy the vomit.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I mean, Penn Station up until I say, even five
years ago was probably still it's that was a time capsule. Yeah,
Penn Station is the nastiest place on the earth. I
hate Pensteins.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Well, I mean they redid most of it. That one
area that's still like that are the bathrooms, Like that
bathroom area is still Yeah, the waiting room with the
little police stand there. There's never a copy it when
you need it.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And let me tell you something. The Energy transit part Nope,
not great, Nope, it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And I heard I heard that they're redoing the Port
Authority bus terminal. That place stuck in the seventies is
so disgusting, but it's so fun to look at. I
love going in there and stepping over people. Okay, I
haven't been there in a while, but I want to
go take a bus trip just to see you.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Want to take a bus trip to you could just
walk around it.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Now, I'll get on the NJ Transit bus and go
to like, I don't know, Secaucus or something.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Just to take a ride and then just come right back.
It's fun. Nice to get the special lane that goes
through the Lincoln Tunnel. So cool. Whoa you know I.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Still have I have like free bus rides still from
the early two thousand. I wonder if they would still
take it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
They probably won't.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It doesn't say expires. It just is one free trip
in any direction. I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You should, Yeah, Well, maybe I'll see you in Hoboken
or jail. Yeah, that too. Give you a free pass
to somebody.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Maybe you don't like it. Oh yeah, I have. I've
done that over the years. It works on the train,
the bus, the light rail, any NJ transit.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
How many of these do you have?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I had a stack of them because we gave away tickets.
I remember this. This was in probably like two thousand.
We gave away tickets like the Radio City's Christmas Spectacular whatever,
but it was an NJ Transit like promotion. So they
gave us a stack of tickets to give to the
people that lived in New Jersey so they could get
there for free. And some people didn't. So guess what
Scott got there for free. Oh I love that and
I still have a few of them. So I'm gonna
(22:41):
put it to the test. Okay, see if it works.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, when you get denied getting put on a bus,
I'm sure you'll be like, no, No, I saved these.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
From Yeah, it says where's the manager? Where's the manager?
Doesn't have an expiration on it?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Oh my god, you're gonna be met with somebody who's
just like, I don't care, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I remember she's gonna be in Hoboken in early December.
For what I'm gonna do that. Scary does this event
every year, this Toys for Tots event at the Mad Hatter.
I think it's December fourth, and I'm gonna go check
it out.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Nice. I'm gonna I'm gonna bring some toys I need to.
My sister does that through work where she gets a
kid and you have to buy the presents. Usually I
do that. Oh we do that here too, we do yeah, yeah, yeah,
we still do it. Remember they never get the email.
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I had to search it out last year and I
found it and I love it. I think they should
really really promote it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Here, yes, and if you can this year especially, they
really really There's a lot of families who do need
are in need of I don't know, some type of
between the food and giving kids Christmas presents. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's one thing I can say is like, so, okay,
when you go to the supermarket, most supermarkets around the
country will do the free turkey if you rack up
enough points or you spend enough money.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Or whatever for free turkeys. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
And most people don't redeem them, and they just go unredeemed.
If you would just simply redeem it and they go
drop it out of food bankers. There's always a food
drive going on to the supermarkets. That thing drives me
crazy because I don't know about it till I get there.
I got tons of stuff at home that I want
to drop off, So I'll go home and I'll get
a whole basketfull of stuff and bring it in.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
But the turkey's absolutely Turkeys Hams. They do it, even
though they do lasagnas in some place. The shopper does
the stuffers losangna that nobody eats.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Honestly, if it's a nice meal for somebody and it's
like on Christmas, that's really nice. People should have warm meals,
that's right. I mean you get the turkey frozen, warm
it up somewhere, figure it out. Here's a turkey. I
just think it's nice. And the food banks are really
running low on stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes, more people are in need this year. This was
a messed up year. Yeah, so for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Good So if you can please give, and also think
about getting kids to get the toys. Get the toys. Yeah,
that's really nice. Toys for tots all day. Yes, all right, Andrew,
Well thank you. This has been informative. Wow, it's been fun. Yes,
it's been heart string tuggings for sure. Vomiting homeless people.

something comes in and it doesn't like.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh really, wow. I know you're a scientists. Now, I've
heard all about your farmer tales. But oh man, scientists.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Do a big farming weekend, big farming week you're enough
for the big Christmas tree sales.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Hey, Christmas tree sales. It is, this is a season,
and you cut down the trees for them. I will
help with a saw, but I helped bring up the
sign this weekend. I asked if you saw down the tree,
she said, I help, Well, I will, No, I will help.
It's not yet, it's not yet. It's only it's only
for two weekends. That's it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, you cut your own tree, but some people can't,
so I'll help.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Oh, you got weedy bix on the floor. Oh I spoiled.
Next week's an episode. That's fine, that's good. Yeah. So
it's it's busy season and busy back and forth fro
you know, city boy to farm life. It's like, whoa,
it's it's very, very busy. No, because remember your farm boy.
Also where you lived, you grew up behind an olive
tree plant or.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
No, it was potatoes and then tomatoes. Yeah, no, you
were always a farm boy. Well I grew up on
a farm.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So now it's and you
are you also still live I grew up, I grew
up farm adjacent. No, and you still are so rural
where you are? Yeah, dude, I went to the tractor
supply for the first time. Exactly. You don't even know
what that is. You just are so farming. You know
what that is? A tractor supply store. Let me think
it doesn't sell tractor and supplies for the farm.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well some I don't think they sell tractors. Actually they
sell accessories for the tractor and for everything. Like I
bought boots, I bought cats. I bought cat boots there.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well that went on the episode. No, I actually didn't
because it wasn't enough. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
No, I bought new boots. Great, they weren't steel tip,
but do you know that you're not allowed to wear
Timbuland's on the farm? Could have looked down upon. That's
city city folk. That's like, those are fake, fake boots
for farmers. I got laughed at and then I had
sketchers and they laughed even harder. So I got cats,
but I think you're supposed to get red wings. Those
are the hardcore ones.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
But they're expensive. They are so dude, first time attractors
supply And I had a coupon. Is that insane? I
don't know where or how, but I saved ten percent.
That's great. Wow, so city, sorry so rural, so country.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Can I tell you how I did it? It was
actually it was like backdoor style. So I went onto
the I went on to the website to see, you
know what boots they had. While I was in the
store and it said this weekend only buy online, pick
up in store. Saved ten percent.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Wow. So I went online. I purchased them online picked.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I was literally holding them and the girl was like,
oh wait a second, I have a pickup order I
have to grab I'm like, no, no, no, it's it's this.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I just did it. And she was like, what you know,
it's so hard for them being so rural out there. Yeah,
they probably aren't thinking, like what's that new fangle in internet.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
She's like, wait, are you Scott And I said yeah.
She said, oh, okay, well I guess you're good. Just down,
just take them.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Great. It was so cool and I saved I saved
eleven dollars. That's great. How much was the shoes? They
were one hundred and there's no tax in New Jersey,
which is even better. I know, we a lot of
stuff that that's why their moll out there is great. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
So something that would have cost me one hundred and
nine ten eleven dollars in New York cost me eighty nine.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Dollars in New Jersey. Wow, would you look at that?
That's big savings. It is big savings. Yeah, good for you.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So yeah, then I went and I went down. I
got myself a flake of hay and gave it to
Bob the horse. Cool and had a great day.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's awesome, Scott.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Wow, so farmer had a blast. Yeah, of course, barking
at the goats. Fine, good times. He loves being he
loves being farm dog, big farm dog. He missed ten
years of his life.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Well, I mean go down to Nick's farm. Nick's farm
was great. He got good training there. Yeah. Is that
how big the farm you're on is? It's it's a
little it's about probably a comparable, different, different setup, but comparable.
There's a barn with animals and stalls and things. Yeah. Yeah.
And then there's a big upper top part.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Where they have like like hunting things, but they they're dilapidated.
They've been used in a long time. They used to
let people come in and like hunt, but they don't
do that anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, I couldn't hunt. I couldn't either. I feel so bad.
I do as well. I tell you those those bucks
they're a nuisance, but I couldn't. I could never. We
have bucks in my parents backyard right now, and they
are it's like the season for them to just cause
a ruckus. You wont know why because of the daylight savings.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It's mating season. They're looking for the dose man. The
does have their tails up in the air and the
bucks are chasing. That's why they're running across the road
like it's nobody's business. Yeah, getting slammed left and right.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
It's not good. Figure. Actually, there's so many of them
on the road to my parents. Oh, I know, I
passed seven of them yesterday. I'm ready. Yeah, it ain't great. Nope.
And they're all like, yeah, leg up here. And like
I said on this big show today, if you notice
the dead deer that have been there for a day
or two, the butts are all eating out because of
the vultures because they go to the butts first because
(05:18):
it's soft tissue. I learned that. I learned it.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
They don't go to they don't go to the head
of the face because they got all bones there the
butt's wide open, yep.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Or they'll go for the eyes ew. Yeah. Anyway, Turkey
vultures not great. See.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I can't quite get with that country life, the like
the the dead animal thing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I'm not not into it. Yeah, I mean, roadkill is roadkill.
It's not great.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Yeah, well, I mean that's that happens because animals are dumb.
And I know people say.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Well, you're encrouching on their home. We've built roads in
their home.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I get it, But those things happen. It's like when
I'm driving down the road and a squirrel runs out,
I'm like, no, no, and I close my eyes and
I probably could get into an accident. And if I
don't hear a thud, I'm like, I don't see it
in the road. It must be must have been. I
didn't save it. I just didn't kill Rocky. You saved
Rocky and Bullwinkle. No, well yeah, technically Winkles a moose?
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah right. Moose are big, Yeah they are. They're very scary.
When we were on the off last off the Grit trip,
I was really that was my first time getting up
close with a moose. And let me tell you, they
are huge and they are scary. Do they do stuff? Yeah,
they'll ram into you. Oh, they chase you thought they
were docile. No, they will chase you. You're not supposed
to get close. But then what do people do go
(06:27):
up taking pictures? Yes, right, yeah, it's not great, like
look at me, Yeah, get mauled stupid the mall. Oh
here we go. Well, oh yeah, I'll call him back anyway.
So what were you saying? I'm sorry? Oh what I
was saying? Yeah, oh I had a bad dining experience
(06:49):
this weekend. There is a restaurant by my parents' house. No, okay,
it's this restaurant and their whole thing is that the
chefs and the waiters they swap. Why every week, it's
like an innovative concept. No, it's dumb. What was that
servers cannot cook? So so yes, the way that they
(07:14):
do the restaurant is they one week the waiters are
the server or are the are the chefsky like they're
all they're all trained chefs. Oh okay, so they just
swap week after week. But they don't like that. They
don't like being servers. I don't think they do. And
let me tell you what really pisses me off about it.
It's a New York concept with suburban sensibility. Which is
(07:37):
no knock on suburban people. It's just in New York.
The concept would be brilliant and I know it could
be done. Well. There you have a bunch of people
that are just kind of like, no, it's just an
art man, and it's like, no, you have to work
with some like go faster. They weren't going fast at all.
It took us an hour and a half just to
get the first course because of a price. Because because
(08:00):
they're pissed. That's the rebellion. That's the rebellion. They're like, sorry,
we didn't uvia the tickets right. I'm like, well, was
it because of my chef waiter or was it because
of my or your ticket system? It was your dumb waiter.
It was terrible because then it's also an open kitchen,
so the whole time I'm just staring at the kitchen
and watching my food not come to me.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I mean that's kind of like like Elvis switching jobs
with like me on a weekly basis, and he have
to come in here and do this and I gotta
do that.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
What a mess that would be. I So here's the thing.
I do find that you should be able to do
more than one job. Agree, I think you should be
trained to do everything, but not chef unless it's just
I think they're trying for a Michelin star of some sort.
Not gonna get it that way. It's like the area
that it's in. They will never give it to a
restaurant in Mattawan, New Jersey. It's just not going to happen.
(08:46):
It's not going to become a destination. And the three
times that I went. The first time, the same thing
happened with the service. The second time when I went
with just my sister, great fast easy. But this last time,
with a table of five, we didn't leave for three hours.
It took three hours to get our meal, and then
they camped us one drink after we finished it, they
came over and they're like, we'll comp you your first round.
(09:07):
I'm like you, I don't even want to get a
second one because I don't even have food. Yeah, I
want to get out of here, right. And also, can
I ask a question?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I feel like I researched this at one point, but like,
why why is it so cool to have a tire
company say that your restaurant is good?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Okay? I think this is different with the Michelin. I
don't know why. I don't know where the other I
think it was way back in the day. It was
like there was like a book that they put out,
Like when cars started getting big, they put out some
kind of book like almost like a map of like
restaurants and it was like the Michelin Guide to Eating. Yeah,
maybe that's how it happened, I think, but it's surprising
(09:42):
to me that it's still like you have to be
like the top top like one percent of restaurants in
the entire world to get the most of them.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Really, yeah, can you get a second Michelin store, Yes,
you can get a third ooh.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
So the first is basically like we like your vibe,
the second one is like the vibe, and the service
is like impact, and then like the third stars like
this is like pretty much a perfect rush. How many
triple Michelin star restaurants in the world are there. I
feel like there's probably only like a handful. I bet
you cannot get into them. Yeah, no, I mean even
two star ones. I went to a two star one
when I was in Portugal with my family, and that
(10:16):
was pretty much like you were locked in for four
hours and they explained your courses and they were little
baby plates and they did wine pairings and it was
like insane.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
I would have to tend to believe that I've never ever, ever,
ever ever been in even a Michelin star one star.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Run, you'd be surprised. I think you may have. There
are many three mission star restaurants globally established the French
Laundry in New York. I think I went to per Se, California.
I had no idea. But also that's the AI answer.
That's wrong a lot. Yeah, that's very true. Wait, go
to listen wiki eleven Madison Park. That one was vegan
(10:54):
at one point and then they switched back.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Wow, look at all that. This is so out of
my world that I don't even care about this. I
just think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
The thing with Micheline restaurants is that you could either
get super shishi no where it's like little plates, and
I find that to be nice. That's like an actual
chef where that's like their art to a degree, and
you really can have like a piece of apple that's
paired with tuna and it's like gonna be the best
little bite you've ever had in your life. But then
there's other places like a Carbone where it's like, yeah,
you're gonna have really good chicken porm. Oh wait, so
(11:23):
they change it year to year. Yes, you can get
your stars taken out away. Why if you suck? Basically
like if things aren't up to their standard, that's so
interesting to three Michelin Star restaurants. Click that right here? Yes, okay,
so let's see in France there's thirty one of them. Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
I mean, I so don't care about this at all,
but I just think that it's interesting. Like I like
Cracker Barrel and waffle House. I've never been to a
Michelin Star.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Russ, Probably you did. You went to a Carbone. I've
never been to Carbone. You've never been inside Carbone? Nope,
well they got their star taken away. But yeah, I've
never been. I'm sure you maybe have been to one, because,
like I said, it run there's a whole bunch of
different ones. Like in Japan, for example, there's this place
called Den where they serve just fried chicken. So it's
like it's you think that it's gonna be like this thing.
(12:11):
It takes. You can't get in, it's impossible to get in,
but they make really they just make like good fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
I bet there has been some like Elvis dinner or
luncheon or something that you've taken us to. Probably that's
probably been at a Michelin Star. And I was just like,
what is this.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I mean again, there's different ones can have a tasting menu,
or you could there's just really good, just plain restaurants
that are just get the star.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Okay, that's cool. Yeah, I'm I'm bored with this.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Okay, so let's talk about how you put up a
sign and at a Christmas tree farm. Pretend. Why don't
we take a break and we'll be back right after.
Oh it went away, God bless America. Oh there it is.
We'll be back right after this, this and this. I
(13:03):
just got some mail and we're back.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Andrew, Well, what do you have to talk about? I'm
pretty much I don't know. Holidays, holidays, holidays much.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Talk about not boring. It's the holiday season, folks.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, so much to do, so much to get done,
so many gifts to order, so many things to plan,
so many sights to see.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I just want some snow. Yeah, snowed a little bit
last night on the soccer game. That was weird. Yeah,
it's cold, I'm cold. Do you have any big plans?
I mean, you go to Florida? Cool? I mean, is
that it? Who's I don't know, but I got to
answer it. Everyone just keeps calling me. I don't get it.
I keep getting these terrible voicemails fakes. Just yeah, it's
(13:46):
all bad. But I have a code word with my
family now, so we're good. Really yeah, is it biscuits? No,
we have a code word in case there was ever
an AI scam, because you have to prepare for that.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
This is true, and I like that, you know, it's
it's funny you say that because I did mention that
to my parents and we made a code word. But
I don't remember it, neither were.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
They, so they'll just keep getting scammedat it really.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Is very very very sad. Is it a voicemail chist
when you have a moment, Oh you owe them so
much money? No, it's fake.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
No, Yeah, it's the chase near my that I'm I
set up stuff in. Yeah, they're scamming you. Interesting they
need your social Security number. I mean if it's a bank,
they would no, no, no, they'd have it already. Okay, right,
be very very careful and you confirm your card.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Nope, everything's a scam. Just assume it's all a scam.
I mean I usually do, but the calls that I get, now,
it's crazy. And here's the thing. And I like when
I get a call, I always want to answer it
because it could be something, you know, how, I also
also realize that it's probably scam fake when the number
scrolls across. Have you noticed that if the number scrolls
(14:55):
across the screen, it's always and then you hear a
thousand people in the background, it's always scam call. But
other times I'll answer it. But my problem is if
I don't know who it is right off the bat,
and if I say hello and they don't answer right away,
I turn into instant jerk and I start cursing and stuff.
And then sometimes it's like my kid's school, so like
I have to be I don't know why, but there's
(15:16):
just this trigger inside of me that I just assume
that it's something fake. So I get mean and stupid
and angry, like right.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Away, why don't you save the school's number?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I did, because they call from all different exchanges, all
different numbers.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
How many different calls from different departments? Are you getting
a lot? So I'll just be like, hello, Hi, is
this Scott Well? Who's this Hi? This is missus bubble
Bon and the attendance office. Oh hi. You know, like,
I get instant angry and I need to learn to
not do that. Yeah, but it's very difficult because I
just assume everything's a scam. Well, I mean most things
(15:50):
are nowadays. So and then I apologize. I'm like, oh,
I'm so sorry. I didn't realize. But here I am big,
screaming jerk. I mean, doesn't look great for you. No,
sorry about that. And then they say, oh, now I
know where your kid gets it. Oh, speaking of she's
actually been put in detention again. Nah, she's a good kid.
She doesn't get detention. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I never got to tend, although she did get busted
with her phone in school, oh, a couple of weeks ago.
It is in the state of New York. It is
not I don't know if it's illegal, but you're not
allowed to have phones in school. Yeah, And I think
that's bs because you should be grandfathered in. If you
had your phone in school all through middle school and
now all of a sudden in ninth grade like, oh,
no phones, you should be able to go through the
(16:30):
rest of your school career public school career with the
phone limited, of course, but you should be able to
have it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
The problem is no one limits and then how are
you going to test the limits? Well, you could do
the thing where you have to put the phone the
in the thing when you come in. That's cool. You
shouldn't be on it in class. I get that, But
in between, like I need to know when I need
to go to school to pick up like it's important,
and they're like, well, you just come to the office
and there's a line of kids, Like it's not working.
It's just not working. It's upsetting.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
So cause I either have to pick her up at
one fifty or two thirty or three twenty, and I
don't know until she calls me, and she should be
able to text me throughout the dayes let me know.
It's inconvenient. I'm just saying they should be grandfathered. What yes, No, okay,
I don't think that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
It does no, because then they become sophomores and now
the freshmen have to not use their phone, so they're
just gonna go to the soft That's stupid. It's all
or nothing. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It's just like when the drinking age was from eighteen
to twenty one. You turned eighteen, had a beer next day,
change Like damn it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, I think the drinking age being twenty one
is stupid. Yeah, everyone just drinks at eighteen and you
send your kid off to college to go live away
from you, they're drinking, I'm sorry, but not the good
ones that like to follow rules. Okay, So for every
one of those, there's ten others that don't know their
limits and then learn it in college, and unfortunately, some
of them learn the really hard way. So why don't
(17:53):
we just make it eighteen and stop pretending like you're
not You're not gonna drink at all. I do agree
with you. It's it's dumb phones. I get because I
think that is probably one of the biggest things that
is contributing to like horrible test scores. Okay, how dare
you text your dad at what time you need to
come home? But you may drink. It's two separate things. No,
(18:14):
your kid is probably drinking at a high school party anyway. Well,
my kid is probably on her phone in school anyway.
So how is she getting it? She has it. They
don't take it. You're just not allowed to use it,
so that's it. Yeah, there's no pocket that they put
it in. No, but you get in trouble if you
use it. That's the thing. They don't take it. From you. Honestly,
it was Yeah, you went to school like twenty years
ago and it was a flip phone, and guess what
(18:35):
what could you do with it? Text? Call like you
could with your phone in two thousand and seven, two
thousand and eight. Who calls? I call more now than
I actually do text. I just had a two way pager. Okay,
well again, that's you. Yeah in the nineties. Uh huh.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Actually, the two way pagers didn't really come around until
mid mid to late nineties. I think it's regular that
with the.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Phones, that's how it should be. With the phones. You
should not be texting. You should not have your phone
during class. Kids are just getting so so carried away
with the phones.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
I agree with you there, but they should be able
to text in between periods.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
No, Dad, you gotta come get me. Oh there's point.
There's no point. Okay, there's no point.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
So go be late to your next class while you
wait online at the office to call me to tell
me that you need to come and get me.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I think if it works in other places, why do
we have to be special flowers? It doesn't work. Need
to pretend it doesn't work, that our kids are so
much more important that they need to get in touch
with us at all times. Meanwhile, they're gonna use their
phone for forty two other different things. They're gonna film
a TikTok, they're gonna be texting each other during class,
they're gonna be cheating on tests. Well, then I think
they should bring beepers back. Honestly, I'm be fine with that. HM,
(19:40):
bring back a beeper yep nine or month. Great, go
line up at the payphone, perfect, bring back a phone
in each class and then they can call.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
In the eighties and nineties, we lined up at the
payphone great, twenty five cents perfect.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Them all had them too, every place had them, Andrew yes,
because there were no cell phones. I remember my grandma
locked herself out of the car and we had to
call Toe Company from the Freehold mall. It was just
a line of payphones and we had to wait Toe
Company to come.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, I remember it was really cool. In Penn Station
and a lot of like transit hubs around New York
City they would have a big old wall of payphones
and it was twenty five cents for anywhere in New
York State, so you can call anywhere. So I would
be able to call home along because it was long distance.
Back then it would have been like fifty or seventy
five cents, So you get thirty seconds for twenty five cents.
And I'd be like, okay, Dad, come pick me up
(20:27):
with the train station blah blah blah whatever, And he said,
don't you have another twenty seconds?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
You might as well use the whole quarter. So just
what are you doing? Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Nothing, I'm just here watching some guy with no legs
throw up on the floor. Okay, well all right, we're
a thirty seconds now. Let's see at Farming Dell.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You know, Wow, what a great chat with your dad. Well,
I mean that was the eighties. Yeah, memories, throw up,
no legs, everything so cool.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
People that are listening that new Penn Station knew the
wall of phones I was talking about and then no
leg guy the vomit.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I mean, Penn Station up until I say, even five
years ago was probably still it's that was a time capsule. Yeah,
Penn Station is the nastiest place on the earth. I
hate Pensteins.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Well, I mean they redid most of it. That one
area that's still like that are the bathrooms, Like that
bathroom area is still Yeah, the waiting room with the
little police stand there. There's never a copy it when
you need it.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
And let me tell you something. The Energy transit part Nope,
not great, Nope, it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
And I heard I heard that they're redoing the Port
Authority bus terminal. That place stuck in the seventies is
so disgusting, but it's so fun to look at. I
love going in there and stepping over people. Okay, I
haven't been there in a while, but I want to
go take a bus trip just to see you.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Want to take a bus trip to you could just
walk around it.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Now, I'll get on the NJ Transit bus and go
to like, I don't know, Secaucus or something.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Just to take a ride and then just come right back.
It's fun. Nice to get the special lane that goes
through the Lincoln Tunnel. So cool. Whoa you know I.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Still have I have like free bus rides still from
the early two thousand. I wonder if they would still
take it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
They probably won't.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
It doesn't say expires. It just is one free trip
in any direction. I'm gonna try it.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You should, Yeah, Well, maybe I'll see you in Hoboken
or jail. Yeah, that too. Give you a free pass
to somebody.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Maybe you don't like it. Oh yeah, I have. I've
done that over the years. It works on the train,
the bus, the light rail, any NJ transit.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
How many of these do you have?
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I had a stack of them because we gave away tickets.
I remember this. This was in probably like two thousand.
We gave away tickets like the Radio City's Christmas Spectacular whatever,
but it was an NJ Transit like promotion. So they
gave us a stack of tickets to give to the
people that lived in New Jersey so they could get
there for free. And some people didn't. So guess what
Scott got there for free. Oh I love that and
I still have a few of them. So I'm gonna
(22:41):
put it to the test. Okay, see if it works.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Yeah, when you get denied getting put on a bus,
I'm sure you'll be like, no, No, I saved these.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
From Yeah, it says where's the manager? Where's the manager?
Doesn't have an expiration on it?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Oh my god, you're gonna be met with somebody who's
just like, I don't care, sir.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I remember she's gonna be in Hoboken in early December.
For what I'm gonna do that. Scary does this event
every year, this Toys for Tots event at the Mad Hatter.
I think it's December fourth, and I'm gonna go check
it out.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Nice. I'm gonna I'm gonna bring some toys I need to.
My sister does that through work where she gets a
kid and you have to buy the presents. Usually I
do that. Oh we do that here too, we do yeah, yeah, yeah,
we still do it. Remember they never get the email.
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
I had to search it out last year and I
found it and I love it. I think they should
really really promote it.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Here, yes, and if you can this year especially, they
really really There's a lot of families who do need
are in need of I don't know, some type of
between the food and giving kids Christmas presents. It's bad.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
That's one thing I can say is like, so, okay,
when you go to the supermarket, most supermarkets around the
country will do the free turkey if you rack up
enough points or you spend enough money.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Or whatever for free turkeys. That's the thing.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
And most people don't redeem them, and they just go unredeemed.
If you would just simply redeem it and they go
drop it out of food bankers. There's always a food
drive going on to the supermarkets. That thing drives me
crazy because I don't know about it till I get there.
I got tons of stuff at home that I want
to drop off, So I'll go home and I'll get
a whole basketfull of stuff and bring it in.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
But the turkey's absolutely Turkeys Hams. They do it, even
though they do lasagnas in some place. The shopper does
the stuffers losangna that nobody eats.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Honestly, if it's a nice meal for somebody and it's
like on Christmas, that's really nice. People should have warm meals,
that's right. I mean you get the turkey frozen, warm
it up somewhere, figure it out. Here's a turkey. I
just think it's nice. And the food banks are really
running low on stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes, more people are in need this year. This was
a messed up year. Yeah, so for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Good So if you can please give, and also think
about getting kids to get the toys. Get the toys. Yeah,
that's really nice. Toys for tots all day. Yes, all right, Andrew,
Well thank you. This has been informative. Wow, it's been fun. Yes,
it's been heart string tuggings for sure. Vomiting homeless people.

Pot cast for Serial Killers, which we will have an

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
