Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's all you girls and they're getting loose. It's all
you girls and they're getting loose.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
It's all your girls and they're getting loose. That lounging
in cluss, flowing boers, glowing, all aloys blocking.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It's gossip. Gossip.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Guys are always monkey.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's gossip, gossip, gossip, always wanting.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
It's rounding, It's it's Stephen Friday. It's a weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Actually, no Narcy, are you it's Tando show.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Excuse me, where are the lips.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Make Make Yeah Yeah clubs? Welcome to another edition of
the VIP.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Right here, recorded locally in New York City.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
So I speaking of New York. I was just at
the Capital One Cafe in Union Square, Oh my gosh.
And I've never gone in before, and i've because it's
always been one of those things where you're like, what
is the marketing strategy here? Like, is it actually incredibly

(02:22):
useful for them to have this massive, like advertisement for
Capital One in the middle of one of the most
high traffic areas of New York City, the crossroads of
the world, and just have people in and out of
the Capitol One Cafe all the time, like getting their
coffee or is it just like like and that's and
that's the value to them is just it's just rand
exposure because it's like associating Capital One with coffee doesn't

(02:46):
really make a ton of sense. I guess it's like
a credit card is money, and money is something you
buy and you buy more.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
That's about paffinated, less about coffee, java the bean what
we're talking about. I think it's more about cafe fame
means Europe cafe means also central perk, it means linger,
it means couches, it means discussion of religion, it means breakups.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
And that's of course you want to associate all of
that with your credit card.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
With banking. Yeah, and Capital One is always like trying
to push their travel points.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh and it is kind of travel Okay, so it's
actually about like subliminal europe messaging. I buy that. Okay,
that actually does kind of make sense to me. What
was weird about it is.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
And it's like this is a place to hang out,
like we don't just bank, we're a family.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, I did feel like severe like unfamily vibes going in.
It was very airport, much more airport than like any start.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Like an airport.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
I mean, Starbucks has become less and less like nineties
over time. I feel like they used to be pushing
lingering more and it was more night like murals of
like handwriting, and it was so Poet's cafe and like
the bigger comfy or chairs like Starbucks is way no.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Starbucks started as I mean, if you look them up
on Google map, it says nineties Seattle coffee chain.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
That's crazy. It's not that anymore that they lost their way.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I have a story about Starbucks, but that happened to
me today. And this goes to your.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Getting into a coffee corner. So I but I walk
in and yeah, it's it's quite cold, it's packed. There's
a lot of milling about different people. I will say,
the barista staff there, they're not sending their best Okay,
they're not the best baristas when they're getting placed out
of barista school. They're not sending them to the capitol

(04:33):
One cafe.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
And are they even doing the lattes there?

Speaker 1 (04:37):
They're just like, no, they are, they are. And I'm
seeing so I'm seeing there's a lot of milling about that.
I'm seeing a girl doing the kind of tink tink
with the espresso thing in the little right, you know,
the Scooper and.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
But homeless comedians getting coffee and banks.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah, no, one is really like putting their whole, their
whole coffee seat into it and coffee. It's there's this
like older mom in front of me who is kind
of like asking about the teas for like a really
long time and was like so confused with which tea
she was getting.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Not asking about that, what teas do you have is
a question I rarely.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Ask, and then i'm you're so not tea.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
And then even though if you notice I sound a
little stuffed up, maybe I should be drinking tea today.
And I'm just calling it out now. So if you're
commenting and you're worried.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Sick, yeah, real it is.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
I'm fine, but I'm working through it.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
So I order a ic chi, which is sort of
my drink lately, and the Capital Cafe, I'm kind of
like it's kind of its interview paid like seven sixty
one for the girl to just pour the like box
of chi liquid into a glass with milk.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Wait, that's like Coffee mob Prises, the most expensive coffee
shop in the United States, my local coffee shop. It's like, sorry,
Capital One, shouldn't they be pushing lower prices because it's
like a bang.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh my god, my twelve questions substack just went live.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Oh fuck, you know what I have to go. I
have to go to the Capitol One Cafe with my
dell and just read here.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Go read my interview with Gordon Glasgow on his substack.
When you have a chance. Okay, can't wait to sing
my teeth into that and do a lot of cross
promotion at four pm on a Wednesday, So I get
the chiy anyway, it's sixty one. It's not good. There
is this whole section set up that's like, wait, let
me get the copyright. Took a photo. It's learn how
Capital one can make your holidays cozy and stress free?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
How do they do it?

Speaker 1 (06:45):
And so then you walk up and then there's this
little like kiosk that says capital when shopping with like
a camera, and it's like camera activated and you think
it's gonna have like a photo of you, but it
just like you walk in front of it, and then
just like text pubbles pop up, like very pop up
video style that are just being like deferred payment and
kind of just being like what a credit card is?

Speaker 2 (07:04):
That's so depressing, like say, what Capital one isn't just
like have a huge credit card bill in January while
you put this dollar Chai.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Also not to be so okay now banking corner and
I do wanted to get to your Starbucks.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Also we talked about how I have a heeled savings
for a couple of one last episode, it's like we're
being like, oh, how random is it that this whole
episode is about the Capitol One Cafe. Oh yeah, oh god, yeah,
I guess they want to talk about their trouble.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
But we're sponsored by Trump sneakers in Capital One. Oh here, okay,
so my ID set up auto payments on my Chase.
Now let's take it over to Chase first.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Wait, hold on, before we get into making, I have
to talk about Starbucks.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
All right, I am right, let's pivot.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
Let's pivot because we don't talk about how right Starbucks started,
the kind of the central perk. It's a chain, but
it's a big couches. It's nineties. We can all be
bmex so but all the ones in they are not
like that anymore. If you go to the if you
go to Howard Beach, beautiful Irish American, Italian enclav by
the airport also, you know, kind of by the Rockaway

(08:12):
Beach and stuff. So maybe if you drive home from
the beach, you may have passed the most beautiful Starbucks
in the entire world. Double Deca has a full like
deck literally on the outdoor deck, outdoor deck like it
looks like a beautiful suburban home and it looks out
onto the water the Atlantic Ocean. Wow, that's like it's

(08:35):
actually so freaking gorgeous.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
So and the upper deck of the Starbucks that right, and.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's like there's tons of seating outdoor indoor mixed space.
So you know, I had noticed that this summer and
I was like, I want to I want to host
a kind of the ridiculous like holiday comedy show. And
so I was like, that would be so kind of
conceptual if I did it at that Starbucks in Howard Beach,

(09:06):
like on the second.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Floor, that would be huge.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, it would literally be huge for me the community.
I think the Howard Beach community comedy my career.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
I would totally go that if I had go to that,
if I had a flight either before or after.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
So I was like, literally fuck it, like stop dreaming
and start making moves. Yes, So today I called I
just called the Starbucks.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
What you called? Like, so, what answered the.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Howard Beach And it was just like so much, so
many hibiscus refreshers being made, and it was like, Hello, this
is my Starbucks. And I was like, Hi, can I
speak to your manager? And he was like the manager's
not in and I was like okay, so weird question.
Do you guys have this events your location.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
And he was like, uh yeah, so the wedding package
is fifteen grand per hour and that comes with food
and drink out there.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Yeah. Yeah, if you want the deluxe Pecan cold Brew package,
that's actually one hundred and two per person. So he
did say he was like, uh, not that I know of.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
He was like, I do know.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
We rent out the top floor, but we don't like
host events.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Yeah, they probably wouldn't be so like, oh yeah, we're
down to have a comedy show.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Right, but they're like, maybe you could like rent it
out for like your book group or like a retirement coffee.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Right, and it would be like eight hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, which I asked again. I was like, so when
is the manager gonna be He was like tomorrow around noon.
So I'm like, I don't know. I think paying to
rent out this top floor of this far Howard Beach
Starbucks is taking the joke maybe a little too far.
I agree, But also, like art doesn't stop for anything, I.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Mean rented out. Like I feel like if you want
to shoot like a cool video there that's like an
interesting like outsider art, alternative comedy, like we want to
make a piece of art. But I think just like
for this event, right.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
That's not worth it if I want to be really
performance art. It was just about being like showing up
and going rogue and like doing Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I mean that's also what like most comedy is and
just be so subway takes and it's called just like
you have a camera and you're just like so we're
asking people.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Oh, I'm met, like hosting a show like a live show,
and we're all there just like doing Starbucks, like drinking
Starbucks and like, but I could do more of a
rogue outsider like art film video, but I yeah, my
idea was to have this more like coffee improv.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
But I guess it could also be so like Chris
Garthard slash like an e mail comedian, to be just
like we're having a renegade comedy show on the deck
of Starbucks until they kick us out, you know what
I mean, and then like you and it is failmed,
but you do have a weird conversation where they're like,
well they can be here, but they have to be
customers and so everyone has to buy a high biscuits refresher.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Or okay, common below if you will come to Howard beach,
what day is good for you?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
And kind it depends on my flight schedule, and like see.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
My rogue like pecan coldbrew, like improv show.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
I okay, So I just just to sort of circle
back to Chase to Chase second here and in credit
card culture, so I feel stupid and like cut to
me at thirty seven learning about how finance works and
misstaw like would have a conniption if she knew this.
But I had set up automatic payments on my Chase. Okay.
I goes to go through the seventh of every month. Now,

(12:41):
mind you, I'm opening Chase, and I know and I
or I know. I'm looking at my TD Bank and
I say, the money hasn't left the account. It's now
the thirteenth of November. Huh, No, no money has left
the account to pay my credit card bill. So I
go over to Chase and I log in to my
personal account, not to my business account. And yes we
do have a business, yes if a business account. And

(13:02):
I'm like, oh, there's this big old balance on the card.
And I'm kind of like it's supposed to be paid
off of.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
The big old balance supposed to.

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Be paid off. This tigle this big old tiggle balance
and I'm just like, this is supposed to be like
not there, but it's just sitting there and I'm like,
supposed to be paid off in the seventh and I look,
no pain was made in the seventh. So I get
the phone out, I call Chase. So I'm on the
phone with them.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Today is us about calling national corporations and getting someone
on the phone.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
It's called get some National gets someone on the phone day.
So I'm talking to this card. Couldn't be lovelier, by
the way. Really nice guy over there, Chase, And I'm going,
so I said about it, my pay is wind and
the payment come out and he goes, oh, well because
the balance, the previous balance was already paid off. And
I'm going, but there is a balance on the card.
And he's going, but the previous statement balance was already

(13:53):
paid off. And I'm like, but there is a balance
on the card. And this is when I learn how
credit cards act work, because I didn't really get it.
It's like I had made a payment the month before
in October for like a few thousand dollars or whatever,
and that I guess had paid this statement which was
like for September, and so the bill you're getting in

(14:14):
November is actually like the October statement, which is actually
like the money you spent in September. So even there's
this like four thousand dollars balance on the card, that's
all money that I've spent in the next statement And
does it need to be paid off until like December
or whatever, Yeah, which I just think is kind of insane.
I'm like, why isn't it the money that you've spent recently?

(14:35):
Like why is it so in the past.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
But I guess that's like you're so allowed to pay it.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Well I know, but I just it's weird that the
automatic payment isn't paying what is the balance? You know
what I mean, it's just paying this stuff from a
month ago. And then it's like, well, you already paid
a month agoes, you don't need to pay any more.
And so I get freaked out because it's like I
don't like seeing this big balance.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Well, this is also how they get you, because they
want to like confuse it. I want you to have
a balance.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
They know they want you to balance, and they want
to confuse you, Like they design it this way to
be confusing so that you'll like fuck up because I
was worried I was going to get charged like interest
fees for not paying off my balance in time, because
it's like I don't want to carry a balance and
then have interest.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Miss Dow is also sorry, missus Dow, I'm always singleizing.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Her name ye married married married to.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
The Wait, can we like just go to an opening
of a stock sometime.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Like just be there at nine am when they when
the bell opens for like some random company, Yeah, and.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Like watch them be cutters? Like where are the listings
for like openings? It's like we're always getting invites to
like a restaurant at a hotel scene launch.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah. I think you just answered your.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Own question of the communities.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
The community that we roll in is not really like
going public very often.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
I'm not going to get text like from our girl
flyer that's like come to my IPO cutting.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah. Why isn't company gallery having an IPO big scissors?
I know, I mean it's like maybe it's like Houser
and Worth would have an IPO at some point, but
I don't think we would get invited to that hm.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
But but maybe we would.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
But maybe we would. And so let's actually try to
make that happen.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Yeah, let's make that connection because when Carrie is asked
to ring the bell, oh, it's for.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
For the newspaper that she writes for. Right. Oh well,
so maybe if Interview magazine goes public.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Their stock is just like negative, I love.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
You Interview starts a negative.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah. When Berlin based art magazine Spike goes public.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, you'll be like ringing the bell and you're late.
You're like, I mean, oh high in.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Of course, we had to like have our occasional New
York based freelancer celebrate our German law. Anyway, money is weird.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Money is so weird, And like I bought a lamp
at Ikea literally a year ago, speak on it, and
of course it has like light bulbs that you can
only buy at Ikea. So I like order some off
Amazon thinking they're fine. I'm like, these don't fit, and
then I order the ones also off Ikea. It's this

(17:37):
white lamp.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Oh that's like almost the same as my wolscons. I know,
I know the bulbs you're talking about. It's like they
are they're very like small industrial but small.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yes, And basically for the past year I'm like my
like mine was like, let's just like sell it or
get rid of it, like it doesn't work. And I'm like,
I'm on these forums trying to make it work, and
everyone's like, well, this lamp is you have to have
really small ants are tongs to like put the light
bulbs in it like them.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
You do have a small hands.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
I do have small hands.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
And yet those little rabbit paws can't get in there.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
And like they're in there, and like the light bulbs
are kind of in there, and I can get them
to turn on for like a second, but then they
go out.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
You're just not just like, why don't you just screw
it in a little bit more? No, it is not happening.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
That's what I Oh, girls, that's what I'm doing. Like
I spent like an hour or the other day trying
to twistats.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Ultimately, you get what you pay for. As a wise
woman once said, it's just like the ikea lamp. I mean,
my my ike is gone. Sometimes like flickers in like
a in like a where's the ghost kind of way,
and then I remember the ghost is that I paid
like seven dollars for it.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
This lamp ball say it was one hundred dollars.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Huh, yeah, I mean which many.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
I guess like, I'm always shocked when some people are like,
these pants were such a steal. They were one hundred
and fifty dollars.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
These days, anything that's one hundred fifty dollars is the steel.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Right, So I'm kind of still thinking, like I put
down a fortune on this lamp, and like, how much
longer am I gonna? You know, I give myself maybe
tonight now that I just wanted to say it aloud,
because I feel like I've been holding on to this
like family secret.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I'm zero for this lamp. We're about to pull the trigger.
It lights out for your.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
Lamp, literally lights out for my lamp.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Of wait, speaking of zero dark thirty, should we discuss
the diplomat?

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah, let's talk about the dimplomat. Are you guys watching
Harry season two with the Carrie Russell joint?

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Because I am and Mama is as good as ever.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
It's as good as ever and wow, so you know
how like people are always like, oh, like black person
is the first person to die in a horror movie?

Speaker 1 (19:57):
Not anymore? Okay, wait, Sylar alert, get ahead if you
don't want to know what happens this season. But We're
just gonna have to say it.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
The non binary like foot bow tie like department Ambassador
secretary is burnt to a Chris.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
I could not believe when they killed the lesbian first.
I was like, no they didn't, not this poor bow tie,
but the one character gets killed.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
I was dying the one bow tie. They It's like
finally because I feel like it's always been so little
gay assistant.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah. No, the new thing is now having like a
little non binary lesbian assistant. Right, gay men are dead.
There's also there's like no gay guys on the show,
which I also love about this show, although maybe the
new replacement is he's kind of gay. Coda been in
a straight like desperate way, you know what I mean,
the one.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, it's kind of just more like straight guy who's
like taking ties.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Did you notice the funeral when they show the photo
of her and she's wearing a tea for tea hat.
Did you did you clock that?

Speaker 2 (21:06):
How did I miss that?

Speaker 1 (21:07):
It was so subtle and quick, But I was like,
not this like it was like they it was. It
was very dog whistle. It was just like really tiny
small tea tea like very just like you bought it
at a coffee shop in Portland baseball cap and.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
They're like, we're selling coffee beans, pop cookies and really
tiny tea.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
For tea hats. And now they've made it this whole
thing where everyone is like so devastated by the loss
of the boat, too lesbian, and they're all just like
I can't look at Ronnie's desk, no.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I know, just being like Ronnie's they're like in the
hospital and like carry Russell's like Ronnie is not with us,
and he's like no, no, no, no, Ronnie was in the restaurant,
like Ronnie.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Isn't Ronnie is.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
It's gone gone, Okay, it's real, And it's like, of
course in the first season, I feel like bow Tie
Ronnie was always just like in a tight bundle and
keepsup like trying to keep up with people writing notes. Yeah,
now that they're gone, you're.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Said, yeah, I know, where's the level. But it's also
just like I do feel like they were pretty assistant
vibes and like not like laying laws. No, they weren't
really like making any decisions or they were almost just
it was pretty like one step up for getting the coffee.
It seemed like their role yeah, and also just getting coffee.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Back to coffee. It was like they're running to the
Capitol One cafe and like smelling so much coffee themselves.
I love that they have like a military funeral.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, deserve funeral. What I love about this show is
it continues to be just like Her main personality point
is being this like stressed frazzle like Liz Lemon, who's
like always just like, where's my deodorant? No?

Speaker 2 (23:04):
I Her only personality trait is that other people think
she's really sloppy, and so she's either in a full
ascid government gown and everyone's like, whoa you clean up?

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Nice, or she's like in a student always smelling her
armpits being so like, oh I gotta change.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
What is that? So, As someone who doesn't wear deodorant,
I'm so like surprised by this idea of like women
in professional settings constantly meeting too do you yeah, just
freaking down boots.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
I guess because of like the fucking like patriarchy. Yeah,
Like women have to smell nice.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
And they but like are they sweating a lot?

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Like? I know, I honestly have like I've never really
like met a woman that like has such an odor. Yeah,
like smells like really bad. Same like not in a
way where it's like to me, women.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
Like don't have a smell at all.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
I mean, this is they actually well that shows your
gig is waking in the scent of a woman.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
I just view women like mailboxes. I'm just kind of like, okay,
it's just not really.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
They don't smell. No, woman smell so beautiful, interesting floral sense.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
It does it, But that's only because they're wearing floral perfume.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
No, but there's there's something else there. I can't explain it.
I did once tell my girlfriend she smelled, and she
was like so office and offended and was just like,
oh my god.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
She smelled like boh, you were like, girl, get the
secret up.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
In here, because I was so surprised because it was
like she usually is so like Dove's secret.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Like oh okay, and she was like I'm so sorry,
like they were all out of deodorant the deodorant station
and like the women's work.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
I'm so embarrassed, like I'll never do this again.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
And she is in the like bathroom at the office
on that little like tufted ouch area with the vanity
and the women's bathroom when they're all trading.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yes, you walking. If you want to know what goes
on a women's bathroom, it's all women with their dove
and Secret being like, oh, ladies, I'm using Secret and
they're like, WHOA, what's that. It's the non stick, non
smear deodorant for women for all day.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
I do think that there's something about the It's like
there's a connection between the professionalism of the job and
the odorant because a, those fabrics are more less breathable, right,
so she's wearing these like silks and rayons, and excuse me,
your female cat has something to contribute to the odor conversation.

(25:41):
Talk about women who smell.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
She smells amazing.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
But so there's this thing of being like, A, I'm
sweating more because I'm in this like silk chamouze like
shirt that I've tucked in to my high waisted like
fupa pants that are making me sweat even more. And
so the deodorant makes me feel like I'm a even
more professional because I'm like and also like doing more work.
Like there's this like rolling up the sleeves thing of

(26:06):
just being like, I'm working so hard.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Well, but it's also about like how women have to
do everything right? How does she do it?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
So it's like the man deodorant commercial is like nineties
is so like you're in the boardroom and then you're
working hard at the gym, so obviously you need like
the strongest deodorant. But woman is so on the go
because she's like getting coffee and spelling it all over
her non binary system, going to the office, yes, going
to pick up and then still has to be sexy yes.

(26:33):
And that's why like Carrie Russell's character is like it's
really I think that is why we love the show
because it is a throwback of like to this nineties
woman of just so like, oh yeah, I love to
like ride my fellow ambassador husband's like dick.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Also like I'm sassy and I'm all in it for
the job. I'm not some like hot politician. And have
you gotten to Alison Jenny yet? No?

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Why are you spoiling that?

Speaker 2 (27:00):
I told you it was a blur. I don't. I
don't know where you are.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
The episode I just watched is the one where they're
in Scotland and the PM like maybe or maybe not
like kills that like old MP, but don't tell me
what happens with that. That's like the episode of But
I like what I love what's interested about the show
is it's such a like fantasy of like a bygone

(27:24):
liberalism that's like you know, values, expertise, and like everything
that seems like is over in the Trump era, where
it's like he's putting this like insanely like hot guy
who's a Fox and Friends weekend co host as like
literally the Secretary of Defense, although to be frank, cabinet
members are always kind of like almost ceremonial positions and like, yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
I feel like cabinet members are always so well and
also ambassadorships are always just like something you give to
your donors, like no calistic Gingrich is faster, and that's
under Trump.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
But it's like so her Like the fantasy of the
ambassador being this person who's like incredibly like skilled and
like knowledgeable and is also in the middle of like
all these crises and actually doing things is so it
kind of yeah, but I feel like even Clinton, it's
like I feel like it's this thing that has actually

(28:22):
never existed and it's like longing for it.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I think they needed to do that because they were
like let's give her a job where she can do
a lot of different jobs and no one can really
be like, that's not what an ambassador does.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
M this is so true.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
So they can be like, yeah, of course an ambassador
has like been to Afghanistan and like maybe did like
set off a bomb like like in Albania. But also
like she's at a gala. Yeah, and you're like, okay, period.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah, they're like, I guess this could happen through this
like conceivable element to it.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I just in the relationship with her husband so funny
because it's like they're both these just like hot head, stubborn,
you know, politicodes, but they're so like horny for each other.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, and they're they're a horny for the love of
the game. I mean I did like I think there's
they're doing some things quite well. Like I liked how
her deputy, the tall black guy, how he gets like
really annoyed post Ronnie and is like blaming her for
running and like because I was watching the show being
like he's been really annoying, and then that actually was
a platform where they were like, yeah, he's becoming really

(29:32):
annoying and he needs to like reel it in because.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
He's he's annoyed at her.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, and I and I like this thing where he
was like, oh, the Wilers are so cool, like they
drink Lama's blood, like they're being friend they're paladining rama
terrists and they're like so this like he's talking about
how they are this Clintonian fantasy of the globe trotting
diplomat who is like.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
He spends a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
He spent like best friends with the Saudi's and like
so like you know, is camping out with the Taliban,
but it's like also going to Gallas and is and
like running guns like in Somalia, and they're like, yeah,
that's so cool. But guess what happens. You try to
get involved in everything and then all of a sudden,
you you're non binary assistant, gets dialed by a bomb

(30:20):
because you're having so much fun.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
This job is fucking glamorous until the non binary.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Assistant right gets murdered and it's like maybe by the
Scottish pregnant and maybe you should be the calistic gingrich
and just being like another beautiful day in Rome and
like have no idea what's going on, and like be
doing that like.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
I wish calistic Gingridge was just like actually like in Rome,
like just like with like in the War Room.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh wait, are we confusing calistic ganguige with Sydney mc
oh with Cindey.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
McCain Megan McCain's mom, Cindy McCain, Sindey McKay. But I
think Callista is also.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
But she's also like an ambasador ambassador.

Speaker 3 (30:59):
They are.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Keen is like I want to say, she like does something.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
With feel like now she's like the UN Yes, yes,
she was the US ambassador to the United Nations Agency
for Food and Agriculture and now she's the executive director
of the World Food Program. And this is why I
want to get a master's degree.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Well, I was saying, I think Carrie Russell play she
is not having your dream career. The roles she plays
are your dream career.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
Yeah, seriously, but it's like if I want It's like
the thing is the actual route to ambassadorship is just
to be like a well connected donor or just like
a kind of do nothing governor who retires like you're
fucking what's his name? Our Massachusetts guy who became the
New Zealand senator or new Zealand ambassador Bill Weld. No,
the new the Hawk guy. What was his name?

Speaker 2 (31:49):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Oh rats Scott Brown.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Scott Brown. Yeah, you have to be given. They're like, ooh,
we should like give Scott Brown something. When speaking of
Megan McCain, I've started reading her substack.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
Everyone has a fucking substack.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
It's like, wow, the world is really over when Meghan
McCain has a stack.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Wait, you know this is so funny. You know you're right,
and you're right. Callista Greenwich was the ambassador to the
Holy See aka the Vatican.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Oh, the Holy Seat.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Is so funny. Foundation that she wears is.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
So crazy because she always is looking like she's like
photoshopped on a vespa in the Vatican.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
And then she's with Newt who's like always actively having
a stroke. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
And they're like at some like really cheesy like restaurant
in Rome.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
They're very like going to like Hillstone in Rome. Have
you ever been to Hillstone?

Speaker 2 (32:53):
I've never been to Hillstone?

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Have you? No? I do want to go because like
it is so like airport and cheesy and but like.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
Like it's so bert like grunch, like cat Ca listic grune.
Like it's very like TikTok of, just like seeds are
solid and a huge martini glass grunch, I'm having caught
you a peppe like in a seeds are solid in
a martini in an operao spreads, Okay, Meggan McCaine substack.

(33:25):
She was like, here are things I learned, like by
forty and she's trying to do her like things she's learned,
and she's like magnetic onesies for babies, trust me, Like okay,
and she's like Anthony Bourdein said it right, spicy Sesshuan
food is the best thing for a hangover.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
For the insight, she's actually wrong about that. The best
thing for a hangover is half a zen axe.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Mama, I don't do pills personally.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Do you feel like Meghan? I feel like Meggan McCain
isn't san calistic. Gingrich is definitely zandou.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Oh she's on. She's on the she's very like, yeah,
she's on the substance. But it's like she's just trading
with like someone like another random mom in Scottsdale.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
Yeah, it's only like taking ten years off and she's
just looking even more like Boca.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Yeah. I'm like, ooh, can I do the substance, but
just trade with a twenty nine year old butch Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Meghan McCain has like been struggling to find her voice
for the past like since basically ever, like she because
her only thing is just being her father's daughter. And
it's like she's still just being like I'm a never Trumper,
but I am a Republican and like fuck the Libs
and I love my husband who makes me like gross
chicken and rice, but like I'm a commentator and like

(34:51):
I don't really have any opinions, but like.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, I kept on like she be fucked with. She
kept on being like right, She's like I'm a rebel,
like cure me roar, like I've been warning you guys,
like conservatives are back. But I was like, okay, but
your ultimate never trumper. But she's being like so like
my good friend like Kamala just like supporters said, and
you're like, well, so what is your opinion though?

Speaker 1 (35:16):
And then she's just not literally having a single opinion
other than magnetic onesI.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
And then is like, do not talk about my father
on this election day. Here are photos of me and
my father like from like and it's like, okay, this
election isn't about you and your.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Dad, and like at the end of the day, like,
at some point, we have to stop making this about
your dad. Yeah, you know, and again maybe it is
everything is about John McCain.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Anyway, Megan, And then oh yeah, and then she had
like she was like make my election day special enchiladas
and just linked to like a random mommy blog. It's like,
you don't even have your own recipe for your election enceladas.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
That's soriba wh y'all will be hearing on the main
a in a few weeks. Who is like honestly sharing
other folks recipes in her cookbook. And maybe there's something
to be said for Megan McCain's honesty.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Right, that's true, and maybe we don't all need our
own recipe and just pretend. But I will absolutely continue.
I'm not gonna subscribe, but I will continue to read
Meghan your substack because I'm just curious to see where
you're gonna just where you're gonna take it to your
morning pages. Did you see incomplete and random celebrity news

(36:35):
that I sent you this? This Kevin Costner was like
flirting with someone super random at the Yellowstone four b premiere.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Oh wait what okay, they were like Yellowstone season five B,
and I'm like, five B, what is this? What is
this a gate? What terminal? Are we at?

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Very terminal? D? Yellowstone five be. You know, I've only
watched one episode of Yellowstone because I was like, wait,
maybe I should get into this.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
I'm surprised. It seems like the most huge show.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Right, And then I was like, this is actually so boring.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Really yeah, like not, It's not like Lifetime like where
it's like so like funny and like totally ridiculous. It's
actually just like slow.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
It was pretty slow, and it was like building secrets
and tension amongst men come.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
And corosser parties, seitd up and MSc with athlete Rainy
Castanata Rainy as in like it's it's a rainy Days,
that is how it's spelled. And he does look fucking delicious,
I will say, in this turtleneck and like black kind
of elbows, costello glasses, and he's recently divorced. He looks

(37:53):
so divorced. He almost has like chops.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, he got like mutton chops.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
He looks hot, he looked gay and hot.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
He's looking fucking good. Well, he dated his rebound was Jewel,
and I guess that didn't that ended.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Wait, Jewels not single. I mean Jewel is single now, No,
I mean kept right, But it was weird that she
was single enough to date Kevin Costner that.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
She isn't single enough. She was married to like also
like a rodeo man, and they have like joint custody
of their son. She lives in Alaska or something. But yeah,
she's divorced.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
I'm sad they didn't work out because that's hot to me.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
I know, isn't that such a hot couple.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
But I guess like heat's really it's raining pussy no
pun intended for him, and he killed because rainy.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah, I feel like he was like too off, too
hot off the divorce. Yeah, like if him and Jewel
like were to have a fucking chance.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
He would need to get his jolly's off first and
then give into it.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
But it seems like he's just getting his jolli's off
with these mutton chops. Those mutton chops say, yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
Swear In Celebrity Corner, should we discuss my Anna gas
Styre run in Yeah, I was watching What you missed
by fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
That's what happens when you're late, you guys.

Speaker 1 (39:10):
So I got to the iHeart Studio to record her
infamous podcast, and our good good friends Matt Rogers and
Bow and Yang we're finishing their show with Anna Gastyr
in the same studio that we record in, and so
they're kind of coming now. We're all like saying hello
and blah blah blah, and she's been so she's in
like denim jacket bangs, really bangs, Mama bangs. Okay, like

(39:38):
dark dark eye makeup, not like like so smoky that
it's almost like can you see raccoon base? But it
wasn't so raccoon where it's like at like a harsh
line where it's like thick and like cat I. It
was just like smoky, smoky, smudgy, smudgy, smudgie. And she
also like is a squinter and she's like always like squinting,
so it was like yeah, with the squint and the smokey,

(40:01):
it was kind of like can you see? And then
she's in denim jacket, like tight jeans I bet skinnies,
oh yeah, like skin tight, and she had like thirty handlers.
They had thirty handlers. I had thirty handlers. I was
the least handled person.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Not handled at all, but someone who needs a handler.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
And I was kind of like, I don't want to
make a big deal out of it, so I said
to Matt. I was just like, oh, like, it's so
funny because I just saw a mattress like the other week.
I because she's in Once Upon a Mattress on Broadway,
which I'd see with my parents like two weeks ago,
which is like such a coincidence with Sutton Foster and
she plays the Queen. Sutton Foster plays the princess.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Uh okay, Sutton Foster, who's the new beard for a
huge jet.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Um, which is also we need to get into by
the way, was so incredible and I was like, you
are our generation's Lucilla Ball, like I get what I
love you. Yeah, or Anna Sutton Ston was incredible, like
Sutton delivered the house down.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Boot like see, this is why you need to watch Younger.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
No, I'm and what's funny is it's like even watching
her on Broadway, I was like, what age is she?
I'm like again, hold on, I'm being tricked. I am
being tricked, Like we're all being tricked by her age.
That's why she was the perfect cassengers for that show.
But I don't think the TV show is really like
was able to showcase her talents, like she's such a

(41:23):
physical comedi yan like as my dad hornerly said, she's
so limber, but she was. She was really like all
over the stage and like just the movements, the sharpness
of the movements, like the exaggeration, the timy, like really
old school, like I'm telling you, loose in school, Like

(41:48):
no one is doing it like her. I really felt transported.
It was such a thrill to watch. And anyway, and
I guess I was in it too. She's fine, she's great,
she's you know, she's not her Sutton Foster show. But
so I say, so I say to Matt, I was like, oh,
you know, I just saw her a mattress because I'm
trying to kind of like just be casual and pretend
like I.

Speaker 2 (42:05):
See so literally yeah, like so chill.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
And then Matt was like, oh, that's that's funny, like
blah blah. And then she kind of like is moving
into the conversation with me and Bowen and like she
was being very celebrity like I'm so busy, I have
to go to a thousand things. And what I did
here from my producers that she was forty five minutes
late because her people sent her to like the wrong
photo shoot or something, okay, And then I said to her,

(42:30):
I was like, oh no. And then I said to
that I was like, oh, you know, I was in.
I was in Mattress in high school. And then he
goes to her, oh, he was in Mattress in high school.
So he kind of like did okay.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
I was trying to bring her ge. He was throwing you.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
He was giving me the grace of not having to
be like, oh ah, I was.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
I was, I'm gay, I'm a gay guy. I was,
I was in. I was in Mattress.

Speaker 1 (42:52):
So and then she was like oh like and she
was like, and what were you? And I was just
like the jester and and she just goes points to
all three of us. She goes, we got a lot
of gesters.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Wow, yeah, you got a lot of faggots.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
Yeah. And then she was like, oh, Matt, you made
such a good point about how like comedians are like
the gesters of today. And I was a little like
that does seem like not that I don't think he
was probably making it like this is groundbreaking, but she
was kind of acting like it was a groundbreaking crazy
and I was like, how did that not occur to you?

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Baby, world famous comedian.

Speaker 1 (43:26):
And you've never thought like I never kind of connected
that thought. But is that all?

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Like is it also just like middle aged celebrity whenever
she's just being so like it's so interesting.

Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, it was very mom Anyway, she was fine. I
didn't get excessively warm vibes from her, but she looked great.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Leaving the interview, she'd give it a lot.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Probably no, she left it all on the I Heart counter.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
And by the way, when we got in the studio,
no one had touched their water.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
That was the shocker of the century.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
I feel like I'm slurping maybe water.

Speaker 1 (44:01):
Maybe it's this thing though where it's like the celebrity
doesn't touch the water and so then you feel we're
touching the water and you're waiting for her because it's power,
and so then just it was this kind of standoff
and then just no one touched the water.

Speaker 2 (44:13):
That makes so much sense because it's like then you're
seeming like this like weird, thirsty person.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Yeah, I mean, I would have just gone right ahead
and then slurping it down. And if I'd finished mine,
I would have said, and I want to you hand
me that water because it looks like you're not going
to touch it.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
You're taking her water. Yeah, it's very when Kamala to
throw it back to the before times two weeks ago,
when Kamala was on Shannon's podcast and his whole thing,
Shannon what's his name? Like the Shannon Show? His name
is Shannon who that like wait that like your uber

(44:52):
driver that podcast you were listening to, Oh Sha sheha
club sha yeah, club club shashe but his name is
Shannon because she was being so like Shannon. Yeah, but
his whole thing is being very like airport male lounge
and like has like everyone has like a whiskey need. Yeah,
and she like toasted him on the pod, but then

(45:13):
was like set out loud. She wasn't going to drink it.
It's just it's such a awkward thing to do. It's
just kind of like no celebrities like drink the drink
in an interview, just like don't drink it. But she
was like, and I'm not going to drink this because
I'm meeting with Baraque after this, and I'm gonna fall
asleep if I do drink this, And you're like, what.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
A metaphor for her, I know, for her vision for America,
Just like I'm going to tell you that I'm not
drinking whiskey, but I'll hold it.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
But I'll hold it and like laugh about it.

Speaker 1 (45:47):
Yeah, Like I'm going to tell you that I will
not stop army in Israel but I but I will
laugh about it and continue to.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Do you ever feel self con lack of plastic bag?
Do you have the fear at a restaurant and you
realized maybe this is me. You've you've had more of
your drink or you've you've finished.

Speaker 1 (46:13):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
Can we talk about the unspoken humiliation? And I'm the
only one of the of the drink level noticing and
how we're all doing it?

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Okay, thank you wrong, I'm not crazy here.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
No, I'm constantly checking to see where everyone else's level
is at, because you never want to be the lowest level. No,
but then at the same time someone has to be
someone has to move it along. So it's like when
you're the highest level, you feel like on top of
the world. You're like, oh my god, I'm a am
sober b I.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
I'm the healthiest person in the entire world.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Like, I have no addictive qualities to my personality. I'm
so in the moment and enrapturing conversation. I even notice
my right.

Speaker 2 (46:55):
Well, I'm also really fun because like I'm actually just
laughing so much and talking so much. I haven't even
had a chance. But I'm also still fun because I'm
ordered a good drink.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
And then when you see that it's lower than everyone
else is, You're like, oh, so they all think they're
so much better than me.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
I'm just like fucking like whine no.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
But I start to get really resentful for the sense
of superiority that I imagine everyone else has looking at
me with my near empty alcoholics glass.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
I don't think they're superiority, but I'm like then I
started to get self conscious. I'm like, oh, does everyone
know I have like two more SIPs left? There's every
fun fucking no, now they.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Know every know you're on the razor's edge.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
Yeah, it's like intervention, let's call it. Yeah, it's really
really And then you start to slow down. But then
you're like, well, what's actually the point.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
Well, and especially once you get towards the end, because
I also feel I feel pity for the person who's
nursing the watery like you know, centimeter of backwash of
the drink, acting like they're not done with the drink.
I'm like, who are you kidding? Yeah, like that almost

(48:17):
a just you want another round even more than I do.

Speaker 2 (48:21):
Right, because you're like, oh no, let me let me save.

Speaker 1 (48:26):
Yeah, you're desperately trying to like to squeeze it out,
to like to to stretch it.

Speaker 2 (48:32):
And it's totally I mean, there's also there's wine, and
if you're being red wine, you're kind of being like, hmm,
swirling wine.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Is this whole other situation because you can get refills
on wine, and then it throws the entire math out
of sink because now you don't know you're like, oh, well,
how much have they had, because maybe they've had a
refill or a slight refiller. It's like, you know, if
if you get a bottle out of rest, if you've
got a bottle of glass and they're refilling the glass,
then then it throws everything out of whack and like

(49:02):
all of a sudden, the surveillance aspect is kind of
torqued well.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
Right, because if you finish and then the person fills
your glass and then you realize, oh, I'm on my then.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
You you know, but it's less, but you don't necessarily
you can't surveil others with the same kind of vias
in accuracy. So even though you know, they could be
on their fifth glass or they could be on their first,
and so then you're looking at them and then you're like, oh,
are they so smug on their first? Are they getting
away with murder? On their fifth?

Speaker 2 (49:34):
They about to pass out?

Speaker 1 (49:36):
Which just kind of throws into stark relief, the idea
that we're really only viewing our own drinking habits in
relation to others, and without that comparison, where do we stand?

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Where do you stand when it's just you know, you.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
And the bottle and a mirror.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
In the bottle, you in the bottle. What's that big
bad voodoo Daddy song? Right?

Speaker 1 (50:00):
That's cherry Poppin' that's.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Cherry Poppin' Daddy's get.

Speaker 1 (50:04):
Your ska history? Right? What is the big bad song?

Speaker 2 (50:08):
But if it's it's if it's a chilled up drink,
then I think it's like, yeah, Well, drink it.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
If it's chilled and up, drink it. But also if
it's chilled and ice, drink it, because it's like then
at the end it's just all it's just getting too watery.

Speaker 2 (50:22):
Well, but if it's like a beautiful like whiskey on ice,
I don't mind that because then it kind of waters
it down.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
The night my boyfriend made me a gold rush.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
The other night, pray tell what is a gold rush?

Speaker 1 (50:35):
We bought some Mictor's bourbon at the store. Awesome gold rush.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, we like to try a new bourbon every week. Actually, oh,
I just got a calendar notification for a concert or
sceying tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
Oh my god, Lily, stop telling everyone our businesss Okay.
So it's bourbon honey syrup, and the honey syrup is
at like a two to one ratio of like honey
of water or whatever, okay, and lemon juice. So it's
kind of like, uh.

Speaker 2 (51:10):
Kind of a whiskey sour. Whiskey honey sour.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Yeah, it's it's somewhere between like a whiskey sour on
an old fashion but it's really nice. What the honey
gives it a nice thickness and mouthfeel that's super you're
making a scared face. I pretend to be so afraid
of honey. But you love honey, you love it. You
love fireball.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Yeah, but that has a culture and a history. And
that's not even honey, that's chemicals. It's about doing fireball.
Shaltz Schultz. I always invoke the the Auntie Mame scene
when Auntie Mame goes to visit her nouveau reche possible

(51:53):
in laws and he makes her a drink and he's like, well,
it's my secret ingredient you might want to know, and
she's so like bo Ho and just like loves martinis
and the secret ingredient in his cocktail is honey, and
she like throws it away and she's like, it's discussing.

Speaker 1 (52:12):
Oh, so that's what this is. This is just your
kind of like learned classism from your father via auntie name.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
And yeah, well, I mean the people in that are
like richer than her, but they're like basics.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Right, and you're not a fucking basic anyway.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
Yeah, it's my learns, like bo Ho classism. I guess
I don't know, but I'm not a huge honeyhead. I'm
no Winny the Poo over here, but I can imagine
whiskey and honey of course go together.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
What I what I like about this drink is like
an old fashioned. I love an old fashioned obviously, but
you know, this stretches it. As we're talking, it makes
there's more liquid content because you're adding in the lemon
juice and.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
But stretcher alcohol.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Stretch your alcohol.

Speaker 2 (53:01):
That's how we keep our cups filled.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
But honey, I really love the mouthfeel. I like that
thickness that you're getting and the fatures do. It was
a wonderful bourbon. Say, not quite as amazing as Blanton's,
which is my new favorite bourbon me and Reba.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
Maketure's is really good. But I know, I guess I was.
I was drinking a ginger beer, just non alcoholic yesterday
that my sister brought me and I was like, oh,
this is so sweet. And I looked at the bottle
and it was like I was like, oh, it's made
with honey. So i've this comes from Malta last night
of me being like, ugh, honey.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Okay, anyway, you're you're on like an anti honey tip
and that's okay, even though like we're all in different
places with honey right now, like.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
The weather's changing and I actually should have some like
honey and lemon water right now.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
So I'm like, I think a little honey might do
a good mama with that.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
But I love the name of that cocktail and like
I'm open to it sounds like something from Wait, MAYA
got be this? Which I do want to start making
this in saying nineteen sixties recipe box of cocktails, and
everything is so like in it, and it has each
It's like a little roll index box with all these
little cars, and everything is so like the gold Rush,
like Planter's plum punch, like the Bachelorette score, and everything

(54:17):
is like crem dementth honey pig and whiskey.

Speaker 1 (54:22):
Pig, just straight up pig.

Speaker 2 (54:28):
So that will be something really fun to try kind
of for the winter new cocktail. What are you guys drinking?
Leave it in the comments.

Speaker 1 (54:36):
What are you stepping on? Wait? Did you try the
Chicken Big Mac? Or no? So?

Speaker 2 (54:41):
No? Yeah, I texted you last night being like, should
I try the Chicken Big Mac till I talk about
the VIP lounge And just like for COT, I've been
curious and I was like picking up a laundry, and
I was hungry, and I was like, I could walk
to McDonald's right now and get it. But I had
just like tofu and rice at home, and like we

(55:05):
just made all these ribs for the riba recipe, and
I was kind of just like, eat at home. Here's
the thing with the chicken big Mac, which I want
to try, but also what is keeping me away from it?
I think it's the uniform color.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Because the chicken is not enough of a contrast with
with the bun. The bun and yeah, but I mean
you could say the same thing about m chicken. It's
just the amount of it.

Speaker 2 (55:27):
It's I think, right me chicken, You're like, oh, it's
a chicken. You see the pickle, you see the lettuce,
and you're just seeing this tall, beige stack. And I'm
a little bit like, Okay, I don't need to eat
this like couch Like sorry.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
I'm not jd vance. Yeah no, I I hear you,
one hundred percent, Mama. That's gonna be a fucking truth
bomb that was just dropped in the chat. I was
deterred by the price. When I went to McDonald's today.
It was ten dollars and I was just like the fuck,

(56:04):
that's insane.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
And I was like, this is so much, mind you right,
not for the meal, for this sandwich, because.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Like the Big Mac has already been like seven sixty
one for the sandwich. And then they were just like
and the chicken by Mac, and I was just like,
go fuck yourself.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Yeah, like we know it's made of horse anyway, make
it six it's horse chicken.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
Maybe maybe I actually was looking at the combo because
AI is telling me that it's six nineteen or a
chowhound is saying it's six nineteen. But where it's like
in New York, it's more expensive. I don't know. Still
that's a lot.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Well it is that thing, like you know, and like
even at of like a rest up on the highway,
McDonald's is more expensive in an airport way. Yeah, let's
see on uber eats how much it is. I think. Also,
maybe I'll try it if it's like I'm in the
car and I stop at a drive through. But just
like walking to the McDonald on a beautiful day on
