Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?
Firms represents show rolling with my homies with the homepage.
Do you remember that from Clueless? Yeah? You don't remember that.
I remember that. Okay, she died? Did not see Clueless?
(00:25):
She died? Yeah? The girl who's sang it in the movie? Um,
what was her name in real life? We gotta google that. Oh,
Brittany Murphy. She passed away. That's right, that was Brittany Murphy.
Are we on? Is this work? Is this a fifteen
minute Morty Show podcast? All right? Forget? I totally forgotten.
That's come of the beauty of this podcast. Sometimes we
forget that we're recording it. You're just sitting around just
(00:47):
jaw jacket. I'm getting my makeup done for after Elvis
and Scary is laughing at me. I'm not laughing at you.
I'm just in awe, you know what. I'm in awe.
And I feel bad because I just feel like women
go through so much in a day to get ready.
My girlfriend is the same way, and it's like she
takes an hour and I'm like, just put your hair
up or do it? You need to be more understanding
(01:09):
setting And I know, I know, see I already feel
myself falling into a trap. What's Danielle is having a
double problem, which, like a woman normally puts on her makeup,
they make makeup faces right where they go. But because
someone's doing the makeup four hard, she isn't timing the
faces right to the makeup. She's trying to anticipate the moves,
and she's going that it's not very attractive. It doesn't
(01:34):
matter anyway. So gosh. So we're back from the weekend.
I don't know about where you are, but here in
New York and on the on the East Coast, we
finally experienced a weekend that we deserve. I mean, the
highs and the sixties approaching seventy ryan and I mean
it's still cool for some people, but for us, it
was so nice, glorious. It was like you said, everybody's
(01:54):
has on their shorts and they're tank tups and they're
so white, and they're putting their top downs and calling yeah.
But and our toes aren't ready, like some people's toes
aren't ready signed for petticures. Guy, I know, but it
didn't matter. I didn't care who saw my nasty feet.
I just wanted to get on side. You know me,
I don't wear sandals anyway, I'm sandals kind of here
he doesn't. He looks like he's perching. Yeah. Anyway, So
(02:16):
we had such a beautiful weekend. We have a beautiful
day today. For several days we're gonna it changes the
way we sound. And you know, I noticed today that
our show sounded a little more perky because you know what,
there's something about this whether it it does affect us. Yeah,
we're wearing like I know you have. Isn't that shirt
you have on linen? Yes, so you have a linen
shirt on. I have short sleeves on, which is not
(02:38):
so Yeah. I love how your shoes match your shirt. Yeah,
I did that. So then if you live in Alaska
you're just depressed most of the year. Then Alaska actually
has some beautiful weather, depending on where you live. I
think in June, Alaska's in the sixties. So we're going
to Alaska soon. So I was doing some research search
and I think it's like it's not that bad. Yeah,
I think you're okay. But if you go to the
(02:59):
Pacific north west into Seattle and parts of Oregon, it
can be kind of dark and just have you ever
experienced darkness for more than twelve hours just when I
passed out after drinking. I went to Iceland several years ago,
and it is the weirdest thing because you're you're in
darkness for twenty three hours out of the day. And
(03:19):
I went there over Christmas, and I remember going out
at night and partying until, like I thought, it was
like two or three in the morning, and then somebody
looks at they're watching it's seven thirty in the morning. Yeah,
you just don't know. And so I don't understand why
people would live in a place where it's always dark. Well,
that's where they're from. Who've I read that you really
(03:40):
can become more depressed and you stay depressed in the
dark too much. Well, you know, look, I think a
better way of looking at that could be if you
suffer from depression, that environment could be really bad for you.
I don't know. I don't I'm not I don't have depression.
But yeah, anyway, but why don't they move? I mean, okay,
(04:00):
so every time there's an earthquake in San Francisco, Well,
why don't you people just move? It's their home. Why
don't leave New York? I say it all the time.
I love New York, but I would like to live
half of my year in Florida when it's nice weather,
and come back in the summertime and spend summers in
New York. Question, say, so, when our hurricane slams up
(04:21):
against your life and all of your your friends homes
are blown away, why don't you just move? And I
might move again. It's your home, that's true, it's your home.
My Actually, my son was asking me this weekend, Mom,
when they give a tsunami warning, how come some people
decide not to go? And my answer was they don't
want to leave their homes. They want to stay, I said,
and they want to chance it. And he's like, I
don't get it. There they might die, I said, I know,
(04:42):
But you know, do you guys remember the legendary comedian
Sam Kinison. Of course, one of his first routines that
put him on the map was he talked about when
they do these documentaries on villages and Middle East and Africa,
places where there's no food and its people starving, and
he says, I don't understand. Why don't you just tell
them go where the food is? Like, tell him no
food here? You can't grow crops here. Just go where
the food is. That was his simple answer. It isn't
(05:04):
that simple. You can't, like, you can't just leave and say, well,
there's a lot of fast food places in America. I'll
go there. There's not the means to move. It seems
like a simple fix where the food is. There's nothing
simple about it, right, I mean, look, you know, living
in New York City, and I had this discussion again
last night at dinner with some friends. New York City
grinds you down. And I've been feeling that more now
lately than ever before in my thirties something years here
(05:26):
in New York City. And uh, I'm telling me, well,
why don't you just move? Well, guess what I'm thinking
about it? Are you gonna? I don't know where you
want to go? Where I'm going to Iceland? People there
are beautiful too. Okay, So I have this news flash
I want to share with you. Brody finally taped up
(05:49):
his ripped sofa and I want to get about I
want to talk about this on the Big show. Okay, So,
if you have a ripped sofa, like a leather sofa
that has a big RiPP in it, know, you could
either leave it or you can put tape on it.
Either way you look like a slob. But it's expensive
(06:10):
to get a sofa, so kind of torn. The problem
is we bought these things fifteen years ago when my
wife was pregnant and she wanted recliner couches so she
could have her pregnant comfort. But now I'm still like
the pregnant guy and I want the comfort to put
my feet up, but the couches are shot and we
can't agree on couches. She wants something like fabric and
you know, fancy, and I want leather and comfortable. So
(06:31):
because we can't agree for like seven years now, the
couches are getting worn out. So my my question her
was what's worse the whole we're living with in the
couch or if I tape it? She just well, if
you tape it, it shows you knew there was a
hole and you cared enough to fix it. But if
you look, you can't just say your friends come over
and go, oh, that just happened. It looks like you're prepared.
So I went and with brown tape that matched the couches,
(06:53):
and I taped it off and and so that you
know it matched the couch. So I went out. I
came home. She had ripped the tape up and put
silver duct tape there. She said, it's not gonna look
like we tried. If you want to have tape, it's
gonna look like we don't care and we're making a
joke out of it. You're totally overthinking all of this.
I mean, the only solution is to buy another couch.
The solution is we have no company. We have not
(07:15):
had people over the house because because of the because
there's holes in the couch that make it look like
you gotta buy you gotta buy a new couch. We
can't agree. I said, how about I get a black
leather couch and put it on my side of the
living room because we have an L shape right and
our couches right now are L shaped like and I
need agree angle. We're matching couches. That said, you get
fabric that like this, whatever, We're not having two couches
that I'm not putting a recliner couch and a regular couch.
(07:36):
They have to match would be the same. No, so
we have we were not buying couches, and so she says,
leave the hole, And I say, but if I patch
you to look like I tried, that's what I don't want.
I don't want to look like we tried. Can you
write Brodie Melissa, that's your wife's name on a thing
and then put it in a hat. Come it's the
first name one out and that's the person who the side,
which then one of us will be miserable. And then
(07:58):
now we're at the stage where she says, you know what,
I don't care what you buy, buy whatever you want.
You know, she doesn't mean that, you know, I will
pay for whatever. My mom and dad did this yesterday
was trying to go out to dinner. So we were
at a game and my mom goes, what do you
want to do for dinner? My dad goes, I don't know,
what do you want to do? And she says, I
don't know. I can do hot dogs or a restaurant.
So my dad goes, okay, you decides if my mom goes,
(08:20):
all right, hot dogs and my dad goes really exactly,
And this is my thing. You know, this is one
of my biggest complaints against friends, family, whatever. Don't ask
me a question if you don't want the answer. If
you have the answer, give me the answer. Don't ask
me make decisions because hours ago, Hey, what do you want?
(08:41):
It's the same argument we all have, what do you
want for dinner? I'll go I don't know. He'll say,
we'll pick something. All right, let's go to Odeon. Now
I don't want to go there. Okay, let's go to
uh no. No. I'm like, well, then do you figure
it out? But if you don't ask me, if you
don't want to know the answer. This weekend, Melissa said,
I'm I'm you know what, I can't think? Just you
pick up dinner. I said, I'll get Indian. She said,
(09:03):
why would I want Indian? Maybe maybe they just want
ideas and options, So you could just sit there, just
like Elvis, for instance. They're big boys and girls. They
can figure it out right. But in your case with Alex,
you could just rattle off ten restaurants and then you're
just narrowing it down for him, and then it he'll
pick the one that he wants to go of those tens, no,
just pick one. Sometimes you want someone to make the decision.
(09:25):
You want someone to say, this is what we're doing, right.
But see, I I like to make everyone happy. So
when I asked the question, and I get uh, I
don't care or I don't know. You you choose. I'm like,
I'm giving you an option. We can either do this,
go to a baseball game or stay home. I could
do either or well which one exactly? And and if
(09:46):
if someone says I don't want to go to the game,
I'm cool with that. I understand and I could live
with it. But if you put it on me and
then go, I don't want to go after that, I
think sometimes we just say things just to hear ourselves.
Talk for fifteen minutes every day and we do the
so you don't want to piss the person off though
and say the wrong thing. So you're trying to get
get it right. No, No, if you ask me, you're
giving me the license to make the decision. See what
(10:08):
I've started to do is I just say it's a surprise,
no matter what we're doing, and say, hey, we're gonna
go eat. Where are we going? It's a surprise, so
that when we get there, I hate that, I'm excited,
And even if she's disappointed, she has to pretend she
likes it. Because I put so much thought and effort
into a young relationship. I'm telling you it's been working
(10:28):
for a surprise. We're going to the same place. Here's
another another favorite restaurant. A conversation of mine. You go
to a restaurant you really want to go to, and
they say, well, it's an hour. Wait, all right, well
let's go down the street to whatever. Well, by the
time we get into the car and drive, it's gonna
(10:50):
be an hour, and you know they're gonna call us early.
Let's just stay here away for this. No, let's go.
So we go to the next restaurant. It's a thirty
minute wait, well the one we go back to the
other restaurant, did you put our name in? No? But
by the time we go back to any restaurants come
into the thirty minutes. Why don't you just wait, We'll
go to the bar, have a drink. There was an
(11:11):
hour wait at Olive Garden. No, my god, two hours.
Have you ever stolen a reservation or something that was
somebody else's name. I've seen someone do that, but I've
never done that because I stole it. I gotta shake
at shake check. This weekend, they kept calling herman frog
frog cookies and cream but no, but no, so Herman
(11:33):
for it. No, I didn't they were Herman. You shake
Herman so because it was already paid for. So at
some point Herman wasn't answering my daughter Herman. Then you
took it because Herman wasn't there. Well, they were going
to throw it out. They said, we'll just throw it
out here Herman. Okay, so you knew it was at
the very end of herman life. Right. But I've taken
(11:53):
because I've taken reservations at Outpack. If Jimmy doesn't answer
by the third time, I'm Jimmy because Jimmy's not coming. Said,
they won't call Jimmy against you and check your idea
with you. I totally see there's no there's nothing wrong
with what you're doing the restaurant with Alex. You did
jump ahead of other people, though, so that we're there
(12:14):
before you. Jimmy Party three doesn't show up, we'll move
to Margaret. Party of three. We'll see you jumped in
front of You're always negative. I think of the waitress,
so now has a nice customer to take care of customer.
She's never gonna wait wait on Jimmy ever. Again, you're
the worst customer ever. I don't blame you. I was
(12:34):
reading this weekend and one of my food magazines about
uh restaurant etiquette, and I thought of you a lot,
because when you go to a restaurant, the chef typically
wants you to eat what they send you because they
create things whatever. But at the same time, they want
you to be happy, so they'll they're they're flexible to
a certain degree. When you go to the restaurant, you
really always sort of have a list of rules. I
(12:56):
mean you have. Oh yeah, if you listen, you went
to a restaurant, you his order as is and you're, okay,
it's rare. I don't think ever, it's very rare. We
went to a place in our town I remember, never forget.
It's called Mulberry Street Cafe. And we went in and
it was something they had with like it was scallions
on top and some and like maybe let's say asparagus,
and I wanted the mashed potatoes. And I said, hey,
(13:16):
instant the asparagus. Can I get mesh potatoes? No substitutions.
Never went back place. When out of business, I threw
a party because they don't they don't agree. They're not amendable,
amenable to the to the customer, and if you're not
amenable and you're gonna play that and listen, this wasn't
like a five star restaurant. This was a place on
the street that was the star. We don't make substitutions.
What they should have done and said, well, it comes
(13:38):
with asparagus, but if you'd like to add mashed potatoes.
We we loved and I would have paid extra for
the potential. That's the thing they should have said that.
I said that, up charged me, up charged me all
day long. I want to substitute this and that and that,
and it gets back to my argument. I even gave
this on the show one day. There's a restaurant behind
the station called Petrarca. It's an Italian place. I'll never
go to that pump ever again because of the way
(14:00):
a waiter treated me. We went in. The pasta special
that day was some whatever spaghetti with you know, some
kind of sauce. The sauce sounded good to me, but
I didn't want the spaghetti. I wanted a different pasta.
I said, what would you mind if they substitute a
different pasta had he said, well, no, the chef has
a certain amount of these ready to go, and so
(14:20):
it's all kind of measured up whatever. He said, no,
we can't. That's why we called it a special. And
he said it to me like that. I said, check,
we had a glass of wine. I paid for it.
He said, we know where you going? I said, I said,
you were really rude, how you talk to me. I'm
never going to come back to this. That guy probably
(14:40):
doesn't even work there anymore, but I'm never gonna go
back to that restaurant. You have bar Buddha, them going
like me and just have the spaghetti restaurant etiquette. We
should get more into this because restaurant is something we
all have in common. Right minute, morning, Joel
What would you talk about on your on your podcast?

Do you remember that from Clueless? Yeah? You don't remember that.
I remember that. Okay, she died? Did not see Clueless?

She died? Yeah? The girl who's sang it in the movie? Um,
what was her name in real life? We gotta google that. Oh,
Brittany Murphy. She passed away. That's right, that was Brittany Murphy.
Are we on? Is this work? Is this a fifteen

So my dad goes, okay, you decides if my mom goes,
(08:20):
all right, hot dogs and my dad goes really exactly,
And this is my thing. You know, this is one
of my biggest complaints against friends, family, whatever. Don't ask
me a question if you don't want the answer. If
you have the answer, give me the answer. Don't ask
me make decisions because hours ago, Hey, what do you want?
(08:41):
It's the same argument we all have, what do you
want for dinner? I'll go I don't know. He'll say,
we'll pick something. All right, let's go to Odeon. Now
I don't want to go there. Okay, let's go to
uh no. No. I'm like, well, then do you figure
it out? But if you don't ask me, if you
don't want to know the answer. This weekend, Melissa said,
I'm I'm you know what, I can't think? Just you
pick up dinner. I said, I'll get Indian. She said,
(09:03):
why would I want Indian? Maybe maybe they just want
ideas and options, So you could just sit there, just
like Elvis, for instance. They're big boys and girls. They
can figure it out right. But in your case with Alex,
you could just rattle off ten restaurants and then you're
just narrowing it down for him, and then it he'll
pick the one that he wants to go of those tens, no,
just pick one. Sometimes you want someone to make the decision.
(09:25):
You want someone to say, this is what we're doing, right.
But see, I I like to make everyone happy. So
when I asked the question, and I get uh, I
don't care or I don't know. You you choose. I'm like,
I'm giving you an option. We can either do this,
go to a baseball game or stay home. I could
do either or well which one exactly? And and if
(09:46):
if someone says I don't want to go to the game,
I'm cool with that. I understand and I could live
with it. But if you put it on me and
then go, I don't want to go after that, I
think sometimes we just say things just to hear ourselves.
Talk for fifteen minutes every day and we do the
so you don't want to piss the person off though
and say the wrong thing. So you're trying to get
get it right. No, No, if you ask me, you're
giving me the license to make the decision. See what
(10:08):
I've started to do is I just say it's a surprise,
no matter what we're doing, and say, hey, we're gonna
go eat. Where are we going? It's a surprise, so
that when we get there, I hate that, I'm excited,
And even if she's disappointed, she has to pretend she
likes it. Because I put so much thought and effort
into a young relationship. I'm telling you it's been working
(10:28):
for a surprise. We're going to the same place. Here's
another another favorite restaurant. A conversation of mine. You go
to a restaurant you really want to go to, and
they say, well, it's an hour. Wait, all right, well
let's go down the street to whatever. Well, by the
time we get into the car and drive, it's gonna
(10:50):
be an hour, and you know they're gonna call us early.
Let's just stay here away for this. No, let's go.
So we go to the next restaurant. It's a thirty
minute wait, well the one we go back to the
other restaurant, did you put our name in? No? But
by the time we go back to any restaurants come
into the thirty minutes. Why don't you just wait, We'll
go to the bar, have a drink. There was an
(11:11):
hour wait at Olive Garden. No, my god, two hours.
Have you ever stolen a reservation or something that was
somebody else's name. I've seen someone do that, but I've
never done that because I stole it. I gotta shake
at shake check. This weekend, they kept calling herman frog
frog cookies and cream but no, but no, so Herman
(11:33):
for it. No, I didn't they were Herman. You shake
Herman so because it was already paid for. So at
some point Herman wasn't answering my daughter Herman. Then you
took it because Herman wasn't there. Well, they were going
to throw it out. They said, we'll just throw it
out here Herman. Okay, so you knew it was at
the very end of herman life. Right. But I've taken
(11:53):
because I've taken reservations at Outpack. If Jimmy doesn't answer
by the third time, I'm Jimmy because Jimmy's not coming. Said,
they won't call Jimmy against you and check your idea
with you. I totally see there's no there's nothing wrong
with what you're doing the restaurant with Alex. You did
jump ahead of other people, though, so that we're there
(12:14):
before you. Jimmy Party three doesn't show up, we'll move
to Margaret. Party of three. We'll see you jumped in
front of You're always negative. I think of the waitress,
so now has a nice customer to take care of customer.
She's never gonna wait wait on Jimmy ever. Again, you're
the worst customer ever. I don't blame you. I was
(12:34):
reading this weekend and one of my food magazines about
uh restaurant etiquette, and I thought of you a lot,
because when you go to a restaurant, the chef typically
wants you to eat what they send you because they
create things whatever. But at the same time, they want
you to be happy, so they'll they're they're flexible to
a certain degree. When you go to the restaurant, you
really always sort of have a list of rules. I
(12:56):
mean you have. Oh yeah, if you listen, you went
to a restaurant, you his order as is and you're, okay,
it's rare. I don't think ever, it's very rare. We
went to a place in our town I remember, never forget.
It's called Mulberry Street Cafe. And we went in and
it was something they had with like it was scallions
on top and some and like maybe let's say asparagus,
and I wanted the mashed potatoes. And I said, hey,
(13:16):
instant the asparagus. Can I get mesh potatoes? No substitutions.
Never went back place. When out of business, I threw
a party because they don't they don't agree. They're not amendable,
amenable to the to the customer, and if you're not
amenable and you're gonna play that and listen, this wasn't
like a five star restaurant. This was a place on
the street that was the star. We don't make substitutions.
What they should have done and said, well, it comes
(13:38):
with asparagus, but if you'd like to add mashed potatoes.
We we loved and I would have paid extra for
the potential. That's the thing they should have said that.
I said that, up charged me, up charged me all
day long. I want to substitute this and that and that,
and it gets back to my argument. I even gave
this on the show one day. There's a restaurant behind
the station called Petrarca. It's an Italian place. I'll never
go to that pump ever again because of the way
(14:00):
a waiter treated me. We went in. The pasta special
that day was some whatever spaghetti with you know, some
kind of sauce. The sauce sounded good to me, but
I didn't want the spaghetti. I wanted a different pasta.
I said, what would you mind if they substitute a
different pasta had he said, well, no, the chef has
a certain amount of these ready to go, and so
(14:20):
it's all kind of measured up whatever. He said, no,
we can't. That's why we called it a special. And
he said it to me like that. I said, check,
we had a glass of wine. I paid for it.
He said, we know where you going? I said, I said,
you were really rude, how you talk to me. I'm
never going to come back to this. That guy probably
(14:40):
doesn't even work there anymore, but I'm never gonna go
back to that restaurant. You have bar Buddha, them going
like me and just have the spaghetti restaurant etiquette. We
should get more into this because restaurant is something we
all have in common. Right minute, morning, Joel
