Speaker 9 (02:36):
There's a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Uh what were we going to talk about? Back from Arlans?
Speaker 10 (02:45):
Yes, I have returned.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
How it Narlans?
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Nobody ever calls it?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Tell us about New Orleans?
Speaker 10 (02:55):
Yeah, I was just there for Marty Graws.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
I'm like, pretty, I'm sure, I'm like thirty percent alive
right now.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I would say twenty.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But oh, okay, so you're seventy percent alive.
Speaker 10 (03:07):
Yes, But being.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Being a resident or from there, do you do Marty
grad different than the crazy people that go there?
Speaker 8 (03:14):
Absolutely? Let me tell you, those two lane girls are not.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Okay, Okay, I don't even know what you're talking about.
Two lane girl. I don't know what that. You know
what TWU lane? The Universe University. I thought there's this
like a road street reference.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
No lanes, not a one lane girl. I'm a lame girl.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
College.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So tell us how to experience it, well, tell us
how the tourist experiences it, and then compare it to
how you experience it. So what is the stereotypical thing
a Marty Gras participant does that comes from New York City.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
They they wake up really early, and they they like
camp out on the parade route because they think that
that's going to be their spot for the night. Nobody
will go in front of them. But that's really not
the case because everyone will show up late.
Speaker 10 (04:04):
But they camp out.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
They bring their computers and do their work from home
because they're they didn't take PTO. And then they go
and get food from this one place that's on the route.
It's always packed, not even a good food, like not
even superior seafood.
Speaker 9 (04:22):
It says superior.
Speaker 10 (04:26):
And guess what, it's a chain.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
They're superior seafood, superior grill and superior hamburger and seafood.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So where should they be going instead of these superior places?
Speaker 8 (04:35):
Honestly, places like uptown so further down the route.
Speaker 9 (04:38):
Like more local down the route.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
Yeah, I know it really it really is.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Like the route is just basically one street, which is
Saint Charles Avenue, and it's only on one side of
Saint Charles because the neutral ground separates Saint Charles.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Wait what huh?
Speaker 10 (04:53):
The neutral ground is? What the stupid car the street
car goes on the neutral ground.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Oh yeah, And so it's like one side of the
street goes one way, the other side goes the other way,
and then the neutral grounds in the middle. So that's
like kind of what separates you from being able to
walk and then being able to just like watch the parades.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Wait till it's not Bourbon. No, what do I know?
Speaker 10 (05:16):
There is no parade that goes down Bourbon New York.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Guy, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (05:20):
Yeah, Arcus, the dog parade is on Bourbon.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
He's only seen New Orleans from Girls Gone mid No,
from Cops, Cops.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
You've been, I have.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Elvis took me there. It's the first time I ever gambled.
And that's when I learned that Ruth Chris originated there.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
Yes, it did.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We went there.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I was just staring in October, and I was there
several times over my life. But yeah, yeah, but I
gotta say, I just a comment because I was in
Marty Gras once never, I would never do it again.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Only first of all, I'm way too old for it.
Speaker 10 (05:47):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Really, No, I.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
Heard you say that about anything.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I was. I was there and I reported back to
this show.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I took time off, and they're like, the only way
we let you go scary and take time off this
morning show is if you call in from the parade
route and do reports. I did, but it was crazy,
it was insane. I was annihilated. I don't remember much
of Monday and let alone Tuesday. And if you don't
get if you don't get into the bars in time,
(06:16):
you're out. You're locked out of the bars. And on
Wednesday they start at midnight they start sweeping the streets
with hosing it down. Yes the streets.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Midnight is early, but like you can get you can
get into the bars if you're not going to the
ones that all the tourists are at. And that's where
it's not fun because like back to Nate's point, like
we go to this place called Leabon Thomps because you know,
lebon TOMPs la means let the good times roll, and
that's what you say during I want to Leabon Thomp's
(06:51):
La roul.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Left the good times roll because like the parades are rolling.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
That was from True Blood, right, Oh yes it was, yeah, probably,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
But so we go to La Bontons and that's where
all the like local soul bands play from like one
am to like five am, so we'll like our plan
normally is we go hang out with all of my
friends and then you walk on the route. I mean
I was walking probably like eight miles a day. My
shins are splint splinter, splinter.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Is there a parade going on today?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Fat Tuesday's tourists.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Rex and Zulu are the ones that happen on Tuesday.
Rex is like Carnival, Like that's like the that is
the parade of all parades.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
That's the one I went.
Speaker 10 (07:45):
So my best friend was the queen of that last year.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
How do you do that?
Speaker 8 (07:49):
So Queen of Carnival is the biggest deal that you
could ever Like you're on national television, you're in the newspaper.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
How do you become Queen of Carnival?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
It's actually it's it's totally patriarchal, but like it's all
about literally men and money. So so you have a
rich dad and they are like are from New Orleans
and their family is very involved in like.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
High society, and is there like a vote.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
It just passed down and it's actually really interesting the
way they pass it down. The queen from the year
before like plays cards with the next queen and their dads.
It sounds like I know, and so I like, at
one point all three of them, the two dads and
the former queen pass the queen pass all three queens
(08:34):
to the queen the next queen, and that's how they know,
they know how it's happening.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
Or yeah, it's like you kind of it's like if
you know you know.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
So there was like a secret society meeting. Yes, yes, yes,
so is the queen always.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Objectively you could say, so.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
Is to go with her?
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Yeah, for sure?
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Where to go?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
We're not really that now. So it's not about drinking
hurricanes on Bourbon that in that place.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Unless you don't want to last all night. That's not
lasting you. But we go to Bourbon every year. Still,
it's just you have to like it's a marathon, not
a sprint. But also it's both because it's because I
blacked out the first night, so like that's how I
knew I came on too strong. So then the next
(09:24):
day I went to Bourbon and I was like, you
know what, I'm drinking water down here until it's like
two pm, and I start sweating.
Speaker 10 (09:32):
And then I started sweating and I started drinking.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
This is a thing in New Orleans. Do businesses shut down?
Does everybody take the time off?
Speaker 10 (09:40):
They're booming?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So like the banks they're open.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Yeah, okay, but like I didn't have school for two
We had Marty gro break when I was in like
high school, elementary school growing up, so like because you
can't drive anywhere, it's miserable, Like every single street's blocked off.
And then this year was even worse because of what
happened on New Years. Like I was on Bourbon and
I mean I had like full body chills. I've never
(10:05):
seen anything like that in my life. Like there was
like secret not secret service, but like the FBI and
like Homeland Security and like these metal barricades that were
like I don't even it was crazy, but I was
really relieved, and it was like really great to see
that everyone was still down there and like.
Speaker 10 (10:22):
Nothing was stopping that.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I wish you had the cool accent.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Okay you, oh, absolutely, what do you want me to say?
You to tell me something to say just.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
The rest of the podcast?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Do in the accent?
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Do you want me to talk these Yes, my friends
speak like that.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Do you they really?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
How come you don't you come out of them. My mom,
my mom, I mean my parents are both from there.
My mom in the accent, Oh apologies. My mom has
a really thick accent. She has like a really thick
new or linean accent.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
Which is like, hey, baby, like I don't know how
to do it, but I was about the Princess of
the Frog. Yeah friend, yeah's best friend.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
That's like what one of my best friends really sounds like.
She'll be like no, no, like tonight, like we're going
to be doing this, And I'm like, okay, I don't
know anyone that seeks like that normally, Like why don't I.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
Speak like that? My sister doesn't talk like that.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Very weird that you don't have any and my whole.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Family's from there and also are like all my friends
and their families as well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Changed.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Yeah you.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Know, I mean you come from money.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You know, you're like so like maybe you were taught
to be aristocratic, you know, to speak you don't like
they say that different.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
She's got Scott All.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That's the green vegetable, because you know, a lot of
proper you might have been in an early age, you know,
you might have got that accent.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Slapped out of you.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
You like her trashy and poor mother.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, no, I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
You know you're also you're also next of kin. So
apparently I don't know, don't you know some of the
well to do people in this suburbs don't they don't
they all?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
They all talk like this, yes, and they school.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Play at the club today after So maybe maybe that
rubbed off on you somehow.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
But both but both of my parents. My dad has
an accent too. It's just I think I kind of
have a twain.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So your dad's poor too, So you.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Grew up poor. Always remember, if you have an accent,
you're poor. Yes, parents, But I do not have an accent.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Okay, look look at me.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
For instance, I got an accent, blue collar neighborhood in Brooklyn,
and my accent it just got stronger.
Speaker 10 (12:59):
As you said, blue collared neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
So your theory is anybody with an accent grew up poor.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Not necessarily because I really thought.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
That was going to be shut down in the accent.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I do understand.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
That everybody with an accent is poor.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
You cannot make up receipts and say the receipts.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Has an accent. It doesn't matter where you come from,
you have an accent to someone you think we have accents.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
But I'm saying is if your if your first generation
from the country and you come over, then you you
know that you got that accent. Congratulation she was born
in I'm not I'm not pulling accents. I think that
Southern draw is sexy as hell.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
He's trying to tell you you'd be sexier if you
have them.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Not saying you're putting words in my mouth.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
I think he said your mom is hot.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I think he said, you just wish you could be
a listener instead of a participant. I would love to.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
I always wish I could not be a participant.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Be no credit to you because you pulled back. You
weren't going to say that, and then you know what
you went for it.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
So you're trying to say, because we're Brooklyn Bronx accents,
we got no money, no, but just no class.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It's ridiculous, scutty me.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
You used to have an accents right, and I paid
to get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I must be rich.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
I'm from Staten Island. I don't have the Italian accent.
So I must be very rich too.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
This is great.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I just think that I guess maybe I don't know.
The more wealth you have, the more neutral your accent becomes.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Do you know what a group in the United States
based on ethnicity makes the most money, brings in the
most money? No, Indian people, like by a giant chunk.
There's doctor's engineers. Worst, there's just a ton. If you
think they don't have accents, my friend, let me tell
you those are smart. Act you are way what a
(14:52):
you wrong?
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Way?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Said that again, Scott, you got we're also Italian.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Oh, by the way, I learned that that New Orleans
knowledge has no I wanted to tell that has a
huge Italian population, a gigantic one.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Huh. Most of my friends are Italian.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Isn't that crazy? Yeah? So do they have Italian like
accents based on the Southern thing?
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Yeah, it's it's it's still southern.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
But like I honestly, now I'm kind of having like
not imposter syndrome. But what is it?
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
But now I'm scared because I thought that I had
like a twang. One of my friends made fun of
me the day for this way you said lemon pasta.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I don't think you do, not even the way I say,
like Laura, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, I don't want to sound really stupid, but it's
too late.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
You're going to be fine, all right.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
So Creole is a way of cooking or it's a language.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Creole. No, Creole is a way of cooking, and it's
like I think it's a culture.
Speaker 9 (15:48):
It's also a language if France.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Oh so it's not in New Orleans like no, no,
you know you're right because it was.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
It was.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
It was like Haitians and occasions.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
I think who too, there was that There was that
chef justin whatever his name was the Creole whatever. Remember
that guy from the eighties and he had a very
accent like that.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
So there's a lot of what's better Cajun cooking or
Creole cooking. That's a big thing in normal in your opinion, like.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
A huge French influence of French Cajun in front.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Get that. But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
I think I like Cajun.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Yeah, Like I'm going back from jazz Fest and I'm
really excited because that's where you can get really.
Speaker 10 (16:30):
Good Cajun food.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Is that crawfish?
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Well, I mean that's not like necessarily a Cajun food,
but it's a New Orleans thing.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Is it like a shrimp? No, it's like keep going.
It's like a little tiny lobster.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Has the eyes right, Yeah, yes, it has the eyes
and like their legs.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
And I had a bunch this weekend. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But it's the whole thing.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Oh yeah, you sucked the head and then you pull out. Yeah,
you pull it, You pull it apart, like you crack it,
and then peel the tail, and.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Then you eat the eyes too.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
I mean, you're getting out of this place. No one
made a comment I want, well, I mean I was.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
We were all thinking it, but we just are there
expensive restaurants that serve them out of the shell?
Speaker 8 (17:17):

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Actually, Gandhi and Nate and I were there last year
at this time.
Speaker 9 (01:41):
And you ate yourself into a sweat and it.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
Was this and it was the same situation I had
just entered back into Carbs and Sugar.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
It was like that guy that got released out of prisonages, you.
Speaker 9 (01:51):
Are not much better. The two of these guys were sweating.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
They're like, no more meet.
Speaker 9 (01:56):
Because it was it was like the jerk off right, it.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Was the jerky the jerky.
Speaker 9 (02:01):
Yeah, they really missed an opportunity with.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
It, really did Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Sorry, we were nowhere because we didn't start really, you know, like.
Speaker 9 (02:12):
The ships they were sweating. They both went home early.
They had to go.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
Yeah, it was jerk Jym and know scary building a
hole in the sand.
Speaker 9 (02:25):
Footage, footages scary standing there, sweating like I can't do it, man,
I want to go now, you're telling me.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Now the burgers, the burgers, piece of chick.
Speaker 9 (02:36):
There's a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Uh what were we going to talk about? Back from Arlans?
Speaker 10 (02:45):
Yes, I have returned.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
How it Narlans?
Speaker 7 (02:50):
Nobody ever calls it?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Tell us about New Orleans?
Speaker 10 (02:55):
Yeah, I was just there for Marty Graws.
Speaker 8 (02:58):
I'm like, pretty, I'm sure, I'm like thirty percent alive
right now.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I would say twenty.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
But oh, okay, so you're seventy percent alive.
Speaker 10 (03:07):
Yes, But being.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Being a resident or from there, do you do Marty
grad different than the crazy people that go there?
Speaker 8 (03:14):
Absolutely? Let me tell you, those two lane girls are not.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Okay, Okay, I don't even know what you're talking about.
Two lane girl. I don't know what that. You know
what TWU lane? The Universe University. I thought there's this
like a road street reference.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
No lanes, not a one lane girl. I'm a lame girl.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
College.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
So tell us how to experience it, well, tell us
how the tourist experiences it, and then compare it to
how you experience it. So what is the stereotypical thing
a Marty Gras participant does that comes from New York City.
Speaker 8 (03:51):
They they wake up really early, and they they like
camp out on the parade route because they think that
that's going to be their spot for the night. Nobody
will go in front of them. But that's really not
the case because everyone will show up late.
Speaker 10 (04:04):
But they camp out.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
They bring their computers and do their work from home
because they're they didn't take PTO. And then they go
and get food from this one place that's on the route.
It's always packed, not even a good food, like not
even superior seafood.
Speaker 9 (04:22):
It says superior.
Speaker 10 (04:26):
And guess what, it's a chain.
Speaker 8 (04:27):
They're superior seafood, superior grill and superior hamburger and seafood.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So where should they be going instead of these superior places?
Speaker 8 (04:35):
Honestly, places like uptown so further down the route.
Speaker 9 (04:38):
Like more local down the route.
Speaker 10 (04:42):
Yeah, I know it really it really is.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Like the route is just basically one street, which is
Saint Charles Avenue, and it's only on one side of
Saint Charles because the neutral ground separates Saint Charles.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Wait what huh?
Speaker 10 (04:53):
The neutral ground is? What the stupid car the street
car goes on the neutral ground.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Oh yeah, And so it's like one side of the
street goes one way, the other side goes the other way,
and then the neutral grounds in the middle. So that's
like kind of what separates you from being able to
walk and then being able to just like watch the parades.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Wait till it's not Bourbon. No, what do I know?
Speaker 10 (05:16):
There is no parade that goes down Bourbon New York.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Guy, I don't know.
Speaker 10 (05:20):
Yeah, Arcus, the dog parade is on Bourbon.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
He's only seen New Orleans from Girls Gone mid No,
from Cops, Cops.
Speaker 8 (05:26):
You've been, I have.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Elvis took me there. It's the first time I ever gambled.
And that's when I learned that Ruth Chris originated there.
Speaker 10 (05:34):
Yes, it did.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We went there.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I was just staring in October, and I was there
several times over my life. But yeah, yeah, but I
gotta say, I just a comment because I was in
Marty Gras once never, I would never do it again.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Only first of all, I'm way too old for it.
Speaker 10 (05:47):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Really, No, I.
Speaker 9 (05:50):
Heard you say that about anything.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I was. I was there and I reported back to
this show.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I took time off, and they're like, the only way
we let you go scary and take time off this
morning show is if you call in from the parade
route and do reports. I did, but it was crazy,
it was insane. I was annihilated. I don't remember much
of Monday and let alone Tuesday. And if you don't
get if you don't get into the bars in time,
(06:16):
you're out. You're locked out of the bars. And on
Wednesday they start at midnight they start sweeping the streets
with hosing it down. Yes the streets.
Speaker 8 (06:26):
Midnight is early, but like you can get you can
get into the bars if you're not going to the
ones that all the tourists are at. And that's where
it's not fun because like back to Nate's point, like
we go to this place called Leabon Thomps because you know,
lebon TOMPs la means let the good times roll, and
that's what you say during I want to Leabon Thomp's
(06:51):
La roul.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Left the good times roll because like the parades are rolling.
Speaker 9 (07:00):
That was from True Blood, right, Oh yes it was, yeah, probably,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
But so we go to La Bontons and that's where
all the like local soul bands play from like one
am to like five am, so we'll like our plan
normally is we go hang out with all of my
friends and then you walk on the route. I mean
I was walking probably like eight miles a day. My
shins are splint splinter, splinter.
Speaker 10 (07:29):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Is there a parade going on today?
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Tuesday?
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Fat Tuesday's tourists.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Rex and Zulu are the ones that happen on Tuesday.
Rex is like Carnival, Like that's like the that is
the parade of all parades.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
That's the one I went.
Speaker 10 (07:45):
So my best friend was the queen of that last year.
Speaker 9 (07:48):
How do you do that?
Speaker 8 (07:49):
So Queen of Carnival is the biggest deal that you
could ever Like you're on national television, you're in the newspaper.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
How do you become Queen of Carnival?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
It's actually it's it's totally patriarchal, but like it's all
about literally men and money. So so you have a
rich dad and they are like are from New Orleans
and their family is very involved in like.
Speaker 10 (08:09):
High society, and is there like a vote.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
It just passed down and it's actually really interesting the
way they pass it down. The queen from the year
before like plays cards with the next queen and their dads.
It sounds like I know, and so I like, at
one point all three of them, the two dads and
the former queen pass the queen pass all three queens
(08:34):
to the queen the next queen, and that's how they know,
they know how it's happening.
Speaker 10 (08:40):
Or yeah, it's like you kind of it's like if
you know you know.
Speaker 9 (08:43):
So there was like a secret society meeting. Yes, yes, yes,
so is the queen always.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Objectively you could say, so.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
Is to go with her?
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Yeah, for sure?
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Where to go?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
We're not really that now. So it's not about drinking
hurricanes on Bourbon that in that place.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Unless you don't want to last all night. That's not
lasting you. But we go to Bourbon every year. Still,
it's just you have to like it's a marathon, not
a sprint. But also it's both because it's because I
blacked out the first night, so like that's how I
knew I came on too strong. So then the next
(09:24):
day I went to Bourbon and I was like, you
know what, I'm drinking water down here until it's like
two pm, and I start sweating.
Speaker 10 (09:32):
And then I started sweating and I started drinking.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
This is a thing in New Orleans. Do businesses shut down?
Does everybody take the time off?
Speaker 10 (09:40):
They're booming?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So like the banks they're open.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Yeah, okay, but like I didn't have school for two
We had Marty gro break when I was in like
high school, elementary school growing up, so like because you
can't drive anywhere, it's miserable, Like every single street's blocked off.
And then this year was even worse because of what
happened on New Years. Like I was on Bourbon and
I mean I had like full body chills. I've never
(10:05):
seen anything like that in my life. Like there was
like secret not secret service, but like the FBI and
like Homeland Security and like these metal barricades that were
like I don't even it was crazy, but I was
really relieved, and it was like really great to see
that everyone was still down there and like.
Speaker 10 (10:22):
Nothing was stopping that.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I wish you had the cool accent.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
Okay you, oh, absolutely, what do you want me to say?
You to tell me something to say just.
Speaker 7 (10:31):
The rest of the podcast?
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Do in the accent?
Speaker 8 (10:34):
Do you want me to talk these Yes, my friends
speak like that.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Do you they really?
Speaker 8 (10:41):
How come you don't you come out of them. My mom,
my mom, I mean my parents are both from there.
My mom in the accent, Oh apologies. My mom has
a really thick accent. She has like a really thick
new or linean accent.
Speaker 9 (10:55):
Which is like, hey, baby, like I don't know how
to do it, but I was about the Princess of
the Frog. Yeah friend, yeah's best friend.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
That's like what one of my best friends really sounds like.
She'll be like no, no, like tonight, like we're going
to be doing this, And I'm like, okay, I don't
know anyone that seeks like that normally, Like why don't I.
Speaker 10 (11:15):
Speak like that? My sister doesn't talk like that.
Speaker 8 (11:17):
I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Very weird that you don't have any and my whole.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Family's from there and also are like all my friends
and their families as well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Changed.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
Yeah you.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Know, I mean you come from money.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
You know, you're like so like maybe you were taught
to be aristocratic, you know, to speak you don't like
they say that different.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
She's got Scott All.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
That's the green vegetable, because you know, a lot of
proper you might have been in an early age, you know,
you might have got that accent.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Slapped out of you.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
You like her trashy and poor mother.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Well, no, I'm.
Speaker 5 (12:11):
You know you're also you're also next of kin. So
apparently I don't know, don't you know some of the
well to do people in this suburbs don't they don't
they all?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
They all talk like this, yes, and they school.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
Play at the club today after So maybe maybe that
rubbed off on you somehow.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (12:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
But both but both of my parents. My dad has
an accent too. It's just I think I kind of
have a twain.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So your dad's poor too, So you.
Speaker 9 (12:41):
Grew up poor. Always remember, if you have an accent,
you're poor. Yes, parents, But I do not have an accent.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Okay, look look at me.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
For instance, I got an accent, blue collar neighborhood in Brooklyn,
and my accent it just got stronger.
Speaker 10 (12:59):
As you said, blue collared neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
So your theory is anybody with an accent grew up poor.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Not necessarily because I really thought.
Speaker 9 (13:08):
That was going to be shut down in the accent.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I do understand.
Speaker 9 (13:16):
That everybody with an accent is poor.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
You cannot make up receipts and say the receipts.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Has an accent. It doesn't matter where you come from,
you have an accent to someone you think we have accents.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
But I'm saying is if your if your first generation
from the country and you come over, then you you
know that you got that accent. Congratulation she was born
in I'm not I'm not pulling accents. I think that
Southern draw is sexy as hell.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
He's trying to tell you you'd be sexier if you
have them.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Not saying you're putting words in my mouth.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
I think he said your mom is hot.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
I think he said, you just wish you could be
a listener instead of a participant. I would love to.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
I always wish I could not be a participant.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Be no credit to you because you pulled back. You
weren't going to say that, and then you know what
you went for it.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
So you're trying to say, because we're Brooklyn Bronx accents,
we got no money, no, but just no class.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It's ridiculous, scutty me.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
You used to have an accents right, and I paid
to get rid of it.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
I must be rich.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
I'm from Staten Island. I don't have the Italian accent.
So I must be very rich too.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
This is great.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I just think that I guess maybe I don't know.
The more wealth you have, the more neutral your accent becomes.
Speaker 10 (14:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (14:31):
Do you know what a group in the United States
based on ethnicity makes the most money, brings in the
most money? No, Indian people, like by a giant chunk.
There's doctor's engineers. Worst, there's just a ton. If you
think they don't have accents, my friend, let me tell
you those are smart. Act you are way what a
(14:52):
you wrong?
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Way?
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Said that again, Scott, you got we're also Italian.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Oh, by the way, I learned that that New Orleans
knowledge has no I wanted to tell that has a
huge Italian population, a gigantic one.
Speaker 10 (15:09):
Huh. Most of my friends are Italian.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Isn't that crazy? Yeah? So do they have Italian like
accents based on the Southern thing?
Speaker 10 (15:16):
Yeah, it's it's it's still southern.
Speaker 8 (15:18):
But like I honestly, now I'm kind of having like
not imposter syndrome. But what is it?
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (15:22):
But now I'm scared because I thought that I had
like a twang. One of my friends made fun of
me the day for this way you said lemon pasta.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I don't think you do, not even the way I say,
like Laura, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Yeah, I don't want to sound really stupid, but it's
too late.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
You're going to be fine, all right.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
So Creole is a way of cooking or it's a language.
Speaker 10 (15:44):
Creole. No, Creole is a way of cooking, and it's
like I think it's a culture.
Speaker 9 (15:48):
It's also a language if France.
Speaker 10 (15:51):
Oh so it's not in New Orleans like no, no,
you know you're right because it was.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
It was.
Speaker 10 (15:55):
It was like Haitians and occasions.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
I think who too, there was that There was that
chef justin whatever his name was the Creole whatever. Remember
that guy from the eighties and he had a very
accent like that.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
So there's a lot of what's better Cajun cooking or
Creole cooking. That's a big thing in normal in your opinion, like.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
A huge French influence of French Cajun in front.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
Get that. But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
I think I like Cajun.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
Yeah, Like I'm going back from jazz Fest and I'm
really excited because that's where you can get really.
Speaker 10 (16:30):
Good Cajun food.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Is that crawfish?
Speaker 8 (16:33):
Well, I mean that's not like necessarily a Cajun food,
but it's a New Orleans thing.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Is it like a shrimp? No, it's like keep going.
It's like a little tiny lobster.
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Has the eyes right, Yeah, yes, it has the eyes
and like their legs.
Speaker 10 (16:50):
And I had a bunch this weekend. It was amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
But it's the whole thing.
Speaker 8 (16:54):
Oh yeah, you sucked the head and then you pull out. Yeah,
you pull it, You pull it apart, like you crack it,
and then peel the tail, and.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Then you eat the eyes too.
Speaker 9 (17:07):
I mean, you're getting out of this place. No one
made a comment I want, well, I mean I was.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
We were all thinking it, but we just are there
expensive restaurants that serve them out of the shell?
Speaker 8 (17:17):
No?
Speaker 10 (17:18):
Actually, I mean you could get, like I don't want
to touch them, crawfish Monica.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Which is like pasta and it has like crawfish in it,
or like crawfish gumbo or anything like that. You know.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Do you know the good ghost tours?
Speaker 10 (17:30):
Oh, like the ones in the French Quarter.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
