Episode sixty nine of the Mexican Ginger Podcast. We talked
about table visits at a date night restaurant, being held
back in school, rappers with streets named after them, hissing possums,
and more. All coming up next. It's podcast time, It's
the Strawberry and was that Mexican Ginger podcast not suitable
for a younger audience? Thanks for streaming the Mexican Ginger Podcast.
(00:24):
You can find us on Instagram at Strawberry and Lazette's
or you can watch these on our YouTube page. Do
you remember being in school and there was a student
that like got held back or you know, did you
ever have one of those? No, you never had a
kid like in your class and then you go to
fourth grade and he still does third grade you.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Remember, I mean, I'm sure, but I probably didn't even notice,
Like I still saw them on the playground.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, to this day, Like there's a couple. I think
I had like one or two kids in my school
that got held back from my grade and there's this
weird stigma. You know, oh they flunked out, it they
have to repeat or whatever, Like, wait.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You used to be with us, why you Yeah, I
hear they're not doing that anymore these days.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh is that right? Yeah, Oh, we'll.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Finish your story and then I'll get into what I think.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I know it may have been changed. I saw this
really cool uh video on TikTok this woman did, and
shout out to the teacher that did this, because, like
I said, when you have a kid that you go
through fourth grade with, or third grade with, you go
through third grade with, and then everybody else in the
class moves on to fourth grade and they're back in
(01:34):
third like, there's this weird like.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You're that kid, and you just don't want to say it. No,
You're like, I understand, it's not a very fun experience,
and I can I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Here's what. Here's what this TikToker said. She's a grown
adult now just coming to this realization.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
In the first grade, our teacher was like, okay, everybody
who wants to stay behind with me, put their hands up,
and we all put our hands up because everybody loved her,
and she picked one kid who got to stay behind
with her, and the rest of us went to second
grade and he stayed with her for another year. And
it took me until adulthood to look back and realize
that that kid had just been held back, and that
(02:12):
was her smooth way of making it seem like a
win instead of making him feel bad about it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Do you see how easy to remove the stigma?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, because kids are dumb. They'll be like, oh, I
want to stay, I want to stay, right, No, I
pick matts, you get to stay.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I hear they're not. That is really cool of her,
by the way, but yeah, I hear they're not holding
kids back anymore because so many kids fell behind during COVID.
Uh huh that they just were like just everyone's passing,
Like we're not even It's it's so much work and
we don't have like the bandwidth to catch everyone up.
(02:50):
Everyone's moving on, and.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's why you're not ready for it. Idea, what you're yes,
foundation information should be yes.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And that's why I like, so many kids are not
doing well because they've moved on to twelfth grade when
they missed so much of like middle school education. Yeah yeah,
or like now they're in middle school, but they never
learned like how to actually.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Read the fifth grade teachers, Like, well that's the sixth
grade teachers problem now, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's like basically what's happening or what I heard anyways? Yeah,
because yeah, COVID school was rough.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I know, did your do any kids from your son's
school ever get held back? Or did he miss that whole?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
How do you not know?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Like because I'm not able to be super involved in
his school, all right, So like I take him to school,
I only know the teachers that he talks about.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I only know, like, I don't even know the principal's name.
I know the vice principal's name.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
That's right, your son. They do like the rotation thing,
Like we had one seventh grade teacher. Oh yeah, when
he was one. Yeah, when he was smaller, he had
one teacher.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But again I didn't know the other kids unless it
was like the one friend he hung out with or
like or something like that. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I wasn't in the classroom and didn't know all the
kids to know if someone got held behind or not.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That was big time gossip all the moms.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I didn't know any of the moms either. Okay, I
dropped him off and I picked him up. I was
at work. I wasn't. I was not as ever a
stay at home mom and able to like bake cookies
and help the teacher and be in the classroom.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
My mom wasn't either. She was a teacher.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, your mom was a fucking teacher. She probably knew all.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The other teachers at the school and they chatted different school.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Just like how servers all know each other, teachers probably
all know each other too.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I'm glad you brought up that server thing. Okay, So
we touched a little bit about this on the radio,
but I didn't want to trash them on the air,
right because I had a generally good experience. So the
beautiful fiance.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What restaurant Now that we're on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't want to say their name because they're trying people.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Come here for the tea. What restaurant was it?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, I'll tell you the end of the story. So
I see this video and it was like, Yo, this
is steakhouse and Sacramento. You gotta check it out. Look
at this tomahawk And it was a crazy looking tomawk
And there was a little contraption that the chef or
whatever built so the tomahawk doesn't just come out laying
down on your plate. It's hanging uh huh. The tomahawk
(05:32):
hangs on this like little structure and they bring it over,
they pour something on it, they light it on fire
at your table. I'm like, I'm getting the tomahawk. And
then she's like, look at these creamy potatoes and check
out this savice and like this.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You see so many accidents on social media of restaurants
trying to like one up another restaurant, and they're bringing
so many dangerous things to people's tables. I bet, yeah,
I bet there was a lot of Yeah, it's not safe.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You're right, you're right. There were a lot of sparklers
going off at the It was like their birthday, so
they take like a what I thought was like a
Las Vegas style like you know, bottle service sparkler, and
they put it in a cupcake and they just like
lit this guy's table on fire. Like three people that
night had birthdays and Sparkler's going off like crazy. Yeah,
so you probably have a point. So it's this nice
(06:21):
steakhouse at least it looks nice on video, and she's like,
look at the tomahawk. Check out these creamy mashed potatoes.
You've got to try the dessert, and like, like the
cameras like going on the dessert and everything looked incredible
and it looked like a nice place. So I'm like cool.
Immediately I go to open table book a Sunday dinner
because I'm working Saturday. The fiances working Saturday, like Sundays
(06:42):
are only night off, so I'm like, yo, date night.
I already took care of everything, Like we're going to
six thirty. That way we can eat a ton of
food and then we'll get up you know, in the
morning the next day, like not full, and we can
jump on a flight because we had a flight the
next day. Anyway, we go in and I'm like, oh,
this place is a big, but like hecka empty. Like
there's like, yeah, five people there, and it's like a
(07:04):
big space. They have two bars. By the way you
walk in, there's a bar, and then you walk to
the back there's a bar. Like this place is huge,
but nobody five six people. Yeah, so whatever. So we
check in like, yeah, we have a reservation. They're like, yeah,
not a problem. Because she's like, yeah, nobody's here, not
a problem, you have a reservation. She goes, is this
your first time here? Yeah, it is. How'd you hear
about us, and I'm like, ah, I think I may
(07:26):
have seen a video on social media knowing damn well,
like I'm here because of the TikTok film, Like I
booked the reservation five seconds after watching the video. I'm like,
I think I may have seen a video on social media.
Didn't tell my fiance, That's that's why we're here. I
just thought it was a cool restaurant. So we go
sit down and it's one of these restaurants where they
try to be very gracious and give you like a
(07:49):
good experience, but it's like uh Trader Joe's where they
just talk so much. Oh I don't need that. So
it's like Dutch bros. Yes, so hey, how are you
guys doing great? Hey, so what do you got? You know,
how has your day been, Day's going good? What do
you have planned for the rest of the day, Like, oh, well,
(08:10):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I hate when they ask that because like when they're
bagging my groceries.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Nugget nugget acts all the time, what's your plan for
the weekend?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Like, girl, I'm fucking grocery shopping and going home, Like,
clearly I'm in sweats. Clearly, I'm just fucking running errands,
like what do you think? What do you think I'm doing?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You're looking at it. This is all I have planned.
But I hate when I don't know why that's a
new trend where.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, I get it, they're just trying to be
like nice and sure and I don't know. I don't
I don't know where this came from. That people think
we want to be talked to all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
But you know that that's a new thing.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's like customer servicing. And I get it, but like
sometimes like I don't I just have to I don't
need we don't need to talk. Sometimes sometimes I want
to tell them, like, like, listen, we don't need to
talk this entire ten minut and I'm standing here like
just fucking scan the groceries.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yep, you don't want to. I don't want to do it.
Let's help each other.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
No hard feelings, like I will not hate you, and
I promise I will be back here to shop again.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah. Right. So anyway, so the server comes over, what
are you doing this weekend? Oh my god, how is
your day? What did you do today? Oh my god,
mister Rogers, And then she asks you to text the drinks,
text orders whatever. Whatever. I'm like, all right, cool. She
keeps coming back, Hey, my name is So and so.
Can I recommend this? Can I recommend this? I'm like,
oh my god, like we're just trying to chill, right,
(09:31):
and then like sparklers going off on all these tables
next to us. So then I'm not freaking lying. A
third person comes up to the table. She goes, Hi,
I'm make up a name. Hi, I'm Dorothy. I'm the
floor manager. I see that you ordered drink. I think
it's been there for like a year or so, but
you could, like I said, you can tell that they're trying. Yeah, okay,
(09:53):
so I see your drinks are here everything. What what
brings you in today? How did you hear about us?
Oh my god, I gotta tell three people. I saw
TikTok video. Yeah, and that's why I'm here. So I'm like, okay,
there's a lot of people talking to us, and so
we get the food. It's fine. My fiance orders a
(10:13):
medium rare for steak. People. They're very specific. She said, hey,
medium rare, and I said, cool, I'll have a medium,
you know, blah blah blah. Whatever steak comes, it's good,
but hers is not medium rare, and she goes, it's rare.
This is no, No, it's like overcooked for medium meres.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I've had one of those media, it's like medium. Which
was a tomahawk too. Oh really, I was very disappointed.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
We didn't get the tomaks. Tomaks are two hundred bucks.
The TikTok lady didn't say that a tomawk was gonna
be a two hundred dollar so I didn't get a tomahawks.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So when I went to El Paso a few months ago,
we also went to the steakhouse and saw on the menu, like, oh,
a tomahawk, right, I've never had one before, have you know?
I've never had one before?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Either.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We can share that, right, that sounds big. Let's just
get one tomahawk. Let's share it and then we'll get
like a couple sides or whatever. So that's what we did.
And the tomahawk was the whole thing was like well done,
which was not how we ordered it. And there was
only like one little section that was not well done.
(11:16):
So that was the piece that I was eating. Yeah,
there was a lot of fat on it. I don't
know if all tomahawks are like this. It sucks when
you have something for the first time, and it's not
a good experience. Yeah, because now you assume that you
don't like that exactly when like maybe they're not all
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I don't know sure, And it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Just didn't seem like it had Like I don't know,
I guess good steaks you don't really season a lot.
It's kind of like how you're supposed to just you
cook it a certain way, but like this felt like
it could have used some seasoning. Like it's not like
the steaks that have Atlantic Ocean those are fucking fired. Yeah,
this tomahawk that we had at this random El Paso
(11:56):
steakhouse was not great. So that kind of ruined it
for me.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I didn't know it was gonna be a two
hundred dollars order. Otherwise I would have ordered that.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Should have just ordered it and shared it like it
like I did.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Maybe I'm glad we didn't because her, so hers is medium,
so that the server comes back, it's fourth person we're
talking to. Now, server comes back, Hey, what's going on?
It's my fiance is very great. She goes, hey, look
because the lady asks, like, how's your stakes? Whatever, she
goes you know what, I'm I'm gonna keep this. I'm
not complaining, but just for the kitchen, just for the
just they know, I ordered medium rare, and as you
can tell, this is more medium, like there's barely any pink.
(12:28):
She goes, oh, I'm sorry. She goes, you made a fire.
Another one. She goes, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna have
this one. It's totally fine. It's just not what I ordered.
She goes, oh, okay. The floor manager comes back. Now
this is five times. So now the floor manager come back.
Oh my gosh, I understand that. You know, it's not right,
and the da da da. My fiance is like, no,
it's it's totally fine. I'm gonna have it. It's delicious.
(12:49):
It's just not what I ordered. Just so that the
the kitchen, it's just you know, let them know, like
maybe they're timing it wrong, like just so you know,
do you think it ended there?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, of course not.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The chef comes out to the table, Hey, I understand
there's a problem with the steak, and so I'm like,
my fuck god, I'm like, well, they're they're good, like
you know, as we explain to the server and the
floor manager, we're gonna eat them. We love them. Hers
was just a little overcooked, and he goes, I just
(13:21):
fired another steak. I'll happily bring you that one.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Goes, oh, I thought you're gonna say fired another chef
or something. I just fired another cook.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So I just fired another stake. I'll happily bring you
that one instead, so that way you know you're not
eating alone. And she goes, no, no, no, it's great. I'm
halfway through this one already. I'm gonna finish it, but
just you know, so you know, he's like, okay, you know,
if there's anything, we can make it up, you know,
da da da da jes He's like, no, no, it's fine.
He's like, I can send you anything you want from
the kitchen. And we're like, we're stuffed, bro, We're eating
so much food right now. He's like, okay, okay, before
(13:50):
the server comes back at the end, take dessert orders.
The floor manager comes back again. So now that's like
six like right, yeah, six times, And so she's like, hey,
you know, I understand the chef came out. He apologized,
you know, you know what, we're working on it. Just
so you know, I'm gonna take the charge off the
bill for the steak, and my fiance is like, you're
very gracious. You didn't need to because you know by
(14:11):
now I finished the whole thing. Like it was great,
just not what I ordered. You know, certain people more
picky than me. I just wanted the kitchen to know.
She goes, no, no, no, we're taking the steak off. The
bill it's great, like we hope you have a good time.
We're like, okay, fine, cool, it was six right, and
then the lady comes back. We do dessert. She comes back,
drops the bill off. That's like the seventh time people
are visiting the table, and then she's like, here's the dessert.
(14:33):
The floor manager told me to take the steak off.
It was like, I just wanted to go and have
a date night. Yeah, but it was like it was
like a group chat. It was like so many people
were coming to the table and I and I kept
telling the fiance and like, I know they're trying to
improve their service or whatever, and I know they're trying
to get better, and I know they're trying to make
sure we have good time, but like there's a lot
(14:53):
of like talking going on with us, right, Like we're
not able to chill, right, is it just me and
she goes, no, this we're being visited a lot, like
this is a lot today. Like I get it, they're
trying to do good and I'd rather that than be ignored,
but this was a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I was just thinking, like it's a weird like.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Balance, Yeah, it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Very weird the medium of I don't know, over servicing,
like you want to make sure you communicate and that
you know they're happy and that everyone has what they need,
and like say, there is a problem, like how would
you guys have felt if they just acted like they
(15:35):
didn't care, you know, after you said something and it
very was over communicative.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Oh my god, it was so much over communicative. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
But then at the same time, like cause sometimes I'd
be like like damn, they won't leave us alone. But
then there's other times where I've been like this surve
ain't been over here once, like we're sitting here fucking waiting.
I need this, or like, you know, even if I
didn't mind them checking on me when I'm signing the
check and I think about the tip, I go, I
(16:05):
do go back to like they didn't really come check
on us, So I'm not going to tip as much
as I would have had I been properly customer service.
So it's like this weird. I like being left alone,
but at the same time, I know it's part of
the job. Hey, you're supposed to come check on us
every once in a while. Don't stand there and chat.
But like, hey, you guys good, everything's good, and you
need anything? No, okay, cool, I'll.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Take circle back in fifteen, like I'll take the are
you good versus so what you're doing for the rest
of the day, how it was your weekend. It's like
I don't need that. I don't need that, and I
love talking to people. It's just I don't know why
everyone's asking me what my plans for the day are now.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I don't love talking to people because I feel like
we talk so much already.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I love it. I'll talk to anybody, it's not about
my weekend plan for.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, Like sometimes when you just like sometimes I just
don't want to talk or I don't want to like
you know, maybe I'm probably just like sleepy or exhausted,
or I'm just like not in the mood. Because I
won't ever like it's not like i'll be rude to people,
but sometimes I'm just like, oh god, I kind of
just want to be left alone, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah. That's why I get a lot of lyft drivers
and before they pick me up, I get an alert
it says like this driver is hard of hearing or death, like, please.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Don't they don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Because every time I've had that alert, I don't know
if Uber does it. I don't take Uber, but like
every time I have that alert on my lift, as
soon as they drop me off, just by instant, I
go hey, thank you, and they go, hey, yeah, no problem.
Every good day they say something, I'm like, yeah, it
is fool could have been talking to me.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I was just thinking, like I should learn how to
sign like I'm hard of hearing or something, so that
I can sign that to people when I don't want
to talk when they're trying to customer service me and
won't shut up.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Be careful because somebody like my niece may no sign
language and be like, oh here we go. Was that
and they starts talking to.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
You, then I'm gonna do the.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I only speak Spanish ASL.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
But I'd be like, oh fuck, you got me. I
just don't. I'm really sorry, just don't feel like talking.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yo. We had when Lazette and I were in Austin.
One of our first ride share drivers was losing her
oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
She was half deaf, half.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Deaf, and the whole like fifteen to twenty minute commute.
We were peppering her with questions about what's it like
losing your hearing and you know sign language, and she goes, oh, yeah,
there's different types of sign language. We're like what and
we're talking about like, hey, when you watch TV and
somebody's like translating, like do an asl like can you
read that? Or do you call them out? Because like
it looks fake to me? Sometimes she goes no. We
(18:33):
were asking her about her deafness the entire road chah,
but she was super cool about it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, I think she could hear us in the ear
that we were talking to though.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well, it makes all the difference, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Because it was only one ear that she was losing
hearing in, right.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Or both one ear is very one ear has a
lot of loss, the other is slowly catching up to
that loss. So she won't be permanently sorry, she won't
be an entire deaf, but she is losing her hearing
and like, luckily she interesting, how did she she already
knew sign language for something? Right? What did she?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I think she was just studying it or something. And
then that's why she moved to Austin because she mentioned
that Austin had a big heart of hearing community. Yeah, weird,
And she moved there for like school or for work
or something like that. I don't remember, but speaking of
hearing and not hearing, when I went home for the
(19:31):
fourth of July, I was at my aunt's house and
we were walking up. Me and my sister was my
song with us, I think, So we're walking up to
my aunt's house and we could hear this like have
you ever done, like, you know, the hearing tests on
(19:53):
your phone and it's like that really high frequency like
and then it's well, it's like sometimes those videos come
up where it's like it'll count down from like a hundred, right,
and the it starts with like a really high pitched
frequency sound and then it'll keep going down. It's like,
what number could you hear it up to? Like, you know,
(20:13):
somewhere one of the neighbors' houses was putting out that
really high pitch frequency sound. Yeah, and at first, I
didn't know where it was coming from because we're walking
across the street and I could hear it, and I
thought I was fucking going crazy because I was I'm
walking and I'm like, what the fuck? And I'm looking around,
but it's like I don't see anything. Nobody else is reacting,
and I'm like, what the hell is that? And then
(20:33):
it stops, and then it starts again. I'm like, is
there aliens out here? Like what's going on? We go
in the backyard and I hear it again because everyone's
taking out in the backyard. They're barbecuing and he my
uncle built like this big batting cage for my little
cousin because he's like super into baseball now. So they
go back there and practice whatever. Everyone's back there drinking
(20:55):
and eating, and I hear it again and I'm like,
does anyone hear that sound? Owned And my cousins, who
are like a little younger than me, they're like, oh, yeah,
that's the neighbor Huh. We think that they like installed
that to like scare the cats away. They don't want
(21:17):
the cats going in their yard. So that just kind
of goes off throughout the day and I'm like that's
so annoying. And yeah, but my mom doesn't hear it.
My dad doesn't hear it either, what like, yeah, only
we hear it. The older people don't hear it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
And I'm certain parts of the frequency, like you lose
the highs and the lows.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So all the old people at my aunt's house they
could not hear it. They had no idea what we
were talking about. Only like me and the cousins could
hear it. Whoa, And I'm like, oh my god. So
those people who installed they probably have no idea how
annoying that is. They probably can't hear it either. They
probably think it's like a dog whistle whistle yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, it's either a scared of cats or like birds away,
but it's it's used to scare away.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh my god. And then I saw a baby possum.
Oh it was so cute. It hissed at me.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah that's the cute part. Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It was like literally could fit in the palm of
my hand. And it was running across the street and
we walked up to it. I was recording a video.

around and said yeah, and me and my sister were like, oh,

us and we didn't move, and then it turned around

t E l O v e E.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I am at Strawberry Radio. Thank you for streaming and
for checking out our YouTube and spread the word. We'll
be back next week. Peace
Episode sixty nine of the Mexican Ginger Podcast. We talked
about table visits at a date night restaurant, being held
back in school, rappers with streets named after them, hissing possums,
and more. All coming up next. It's podcast time, It's
the Strawberry and was that Mexican Ginger podcast not suitable
for a younger audience? Thanks for streaming the Mexican Ginger Podcast.
(00:24):
You can find us on Instagram at Strawberry and Lazette's
or you can watch these on our YouTube page. Do
you remember being in school and there was a student
that like got held back or you know, did you
ever have one of those? No, you never had a
kid like in your class and then you go to
fourth grade and he still does third grade you.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Remember, I mean, I'm sure, but I probably didn't even notice,
Like I still saw them on the playground.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, to this day, Like there's a couple. I think
I had like one or two kids in my school
that got held back from my grade and there's this
weird stigma. You know, oh they flunked out, it they
have to repeat or whatever, Like, wait.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
You used to be with us, why you Yeah, I
hear they're not doing that anymore these days.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Oh is that right? Yeah, Oh, we'll.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Finish your story and then I'll get into what I think.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I know it may have been changed. I saw this
really cool uh video on TikTok this woman did, and
shout out to the teacher that did this, because, like
I said, when you have a kid that you go
through fourth grade with, or third grade with, you go
through third grade with, and then everybody else in the
class moves on to fourth grade and they're back in
(01:34):
third like, there's this weird like.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
You're that kid, and you just don't want to say it. No,
You're like, I understand, it's not a very fun experience,
and I can I can only imagine.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Here's what. Here's what this TikToker said. She's a grown
adult now just coming to this realization.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
In the first grade, our teacher was like, okay, everybody
who wants to stay behind with me, put their hands up,
and we all put our hands up because everybody loved her,
and she picked one kid who got to stay behind
with her, and the rest of us went to second
grade and he stayed with her for another year. And
it took me until adulthood to look back and realize
that that kid had just been held back, and that
(02:12):
was her smooth way of making it seem like a
win instead of making him feel bad about it.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Do you see how easy to remove the stigma?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, because kids are dumb. They'll be like, oh, I
want to stay, I want to stay, right, No, I
pick matts, you get to stay.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, I hear they're not. That is really cool of her,
by the way, but yeah, I hear they're not holding
kids back anymore because so many kids fell behind during COVID.
Uh huh that they just were like just everyone's passing,
Like we're not even It's it's so much work and
we don't have like the bandwidth to catch everyone up.
(02:50):
Everyone's moving on, and.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
That's why you're not ready for it. Idea, what you're yes,
foundation information should be yes.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And that's why I like, so many kids are not
doing well because they've moved on to twelfth grade when
they missed so much of like middle school education. Yeah yeah,
or like now they're in middle school, but they never
learned like how to actually.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Read the fifth grade teachers, Like, well that's the sixth
grade teachers problem now, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That's like basically what's happening or what I heard anyways? Yeah,
because yeah, COVID school was rough.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I know, did your do any kids from your son's
school ever get held back? Or did he miss that whole?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
How do you not know?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Like because I'm not able to be super involved in
his school, all right, So like I take him to school,
I only know the teachers that he talks about.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I only know, like, I don't even know the principal's name.
I know the vice principal's name.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
That's right, your son. They do like the rotation thing,
Like we had one seventh grade teacher. Oh yeah, when
he was one. Yeah, when he was smaller, he had
one teacher.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
But again I didn't know the other kids unless it
was like the one friend he hung out with or
like or something like that. You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I wasn't in the classroom and didn't know all the
kids to know if someone got held behind or not.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
That was big time gossip all the moms.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I didn't know any of the moms either. Okay, I
dropped him off and I picked him up. I was
at work. I wasn't. I was not as ever a
stay at home mom and able to like bake cookies
and help the teacher and be in the classroom.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
My mom wasn't either. She was a teacher.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah, your mom was a fucking teacher. She probably knew all.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The other teachers at the school and they chatted different school.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Just like how servers all know each other, teachers probably
all know each other too.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I'm glad you brought up that server thing. Okay, So
we touched a little bit about this on the radio,
but I didn't want to trash them on the air,
right because I had a generally good experience. So the
beautiful fiance.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
What restaurant Now that we're on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't want to say their name because they're trying people.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Come here for the tea. What restaurant was it?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, I'll tell you the end of the story. So
I see this video and it was like, Yo, this
is steakhouse and Sacramento. You gotta check it out. Look
at this tomahawk And it was a crazy looking tomawk
And there was a little contraption that the chef or
whatever built so the tomahawk doesn't just come out laying
down on your plate. It's hanging uh huh. The tomahawk
(05:32):
hangs on this like little structure and they bring it over,
they pour something on it, they light it on fire
at your table. I'm like, I'm getting the tomahawk. And
then she's like, look at these creamy potatoes and check
out this savice and like this.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You see so many accidents on social media of restaurants
trying to like one up another restaurant, and they're bringing
so many dangerous things to people's tables. I bet, yeah,
I bet there was a lot of Yeah, it's not safe.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You're right, you're right. There were a lot of sparklers
going off at the It was like their birthday, so
they take like a what I thought was like a
Las Vegas style like you know, bottle service sparkler, and
they put it in a cupcake and they just like
lit this guy's table on fire. Like three people that
night had birthdays and Sparkler's going off like crazy. Yeah,
so you probably have a point. So it's this nice
(06:21):
steakhouse at least it looks nice on video, and she's like,
look at the tomahawk. Check out these creamy mashed potatoes.
You've got to try the dessert, and like, like the
cameras like going on the dessert and everything looked incredible
and it looked like a nice place. So I'm like cool.
Immediately I go to open table book a Sunday dinner
because I'm working Saturday. The fiances working Saturday, like Sundays
(06:42):
are only night off, so I'm like, yo, date night.
I already took care of everything, Like we're going to
six thirty. That way we can eat a ton of
food and then we'll get up you know, in the
morning the next day, like not full, and we can
jump on a flight because we had a flight the
next day. Anyway, we go in and I'm like, oh,
this place is a big, but like hecka empty. Like
there's like, yeah, five people there, and it's like a
(07:04):
big space. They have two bars. By the way you
walk in, there's a bar, and then you walk to
the back there's a bar. Like this place is huge,
but nobody five six people. Yeah, so whatever. So we
check in like, yeah, we have a reservation. They're like, yeah,
not a problem. Because she's like, yeah, nobody's here, not
a problem, you have a reservation. She goes, is this
your first time here? Yeah, it is. How'd you hear
about us, and I'm like, ah, I think I may
(07:26):
have seen a video on social media knowing damn well,
like I'm here because of the TikTok film, Like I
booked the reservation five seconds after watching the video. I'm like,
I think I may have seen a video on social media.
Didn't tell my fiance, That's that's why we're here. I
just thought it was a cool restaurant. So we go
sit down and it's one of these restaurants where they
try to be very gracious and give you like a
(07:49):
good experience, but it's like uh Trader Joe's where they
just talk so much. Oh I don't need that. So
it's like Dutch bros. Yes, so hey, how are you
guys doing great? Hey, so what do you got? You know,
how has your day been, Day's going good? What do
you have planned for the rest of the day, Like, oh, well,
(08:10):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I hate when they ask that because like when they're
bagging my groceries.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Nugget nugget acts all the time, what's your plan for
the weekend?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Like, girl, I'm fucking grocery shopping and going home, Like,
clearly I'm in sweats. Clearly, I'm just fucking running errands,
like what do you think? What do you think I'm doing?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You're looking at it. This is all I have planned.
But I hate when I don't know why that's a
new trend where.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I mean, I get it, they're just trying to be
like nice and sure and I don't know. I don't
I don't know where this came from. That people think
we want to be talked to all the time.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
But you know that that's a new thing.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's like customer servicing. And I get it, but like
sometimes like I don't I just have to I don't
need we don't need to talk. Sometimes sometimes I want
to tell them, like, like, listen, we don't need to
talk this entire ten minut and I'm standing here like
just fucking scan the groceries.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Yep, you don't want to. I don't want to do it.
Let's help each other.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
No hard feelings, like I will not hate you, and
I promise I will be back here to shop again.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah. Right. So anyway, so the server comes over, what
are you doing this weekend? Oh my god, how is
your day? What did you do today? Oh my god,
mister Rogers, And then she asks you to text the drinks,
text orders whatever. Whatever. I'm like, all right, cool. She
keeps coming back, Hey, my name is So and so.
Can I recommend this? Can I recommend this? I'm like,
oh my god, like we're just trying to chill, right,
(09:31):
and then like sparklers going off on all these tables
next to us. So then I'm not freaking lying. A
third person comes up to the table. She goes, Hi,
I'm make up a name. Hi, I'm Dorothy. I'm the
floor manager. I see that you ordered drink. I think
it's been there for like a year or so, but
you could, like I said, you can tell that they're trying. Yeah, okay,
(09:53):
so I see your drinks are here everything. What what
brings you in today? How did you hear about us?
Oh my god, I gotta tell three people. I saw
TikTok video. Yeah, and that's why I'm here. So I'm like, okay,
there's a lot of people talking to us, and so
we get the food. It's fine. My fiance orders a
(10:13):
medium rare for steak. People. They're very specific. She said, hey,
medium rare, and I said, cool, I'll have a medium,
you know, blah blah blah. Whatever steak comes, it's good,
but hers is not medium rare, and she goes, it's rare.
This is no, No, it's like overcooked for medium meres.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
I've had one of those media, it's like medium. Which
was a tomahawk too. Oh really, I was very disappointed.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
We didn't get the tomaks. Tomaks are two hundred bucks.
The TikTok lady didn't say that a tomawk was gonna
be a two hundred dollar so I didn't get a tomahawks.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
So when I went to El Paso a few months ago,
we also went to the steakhouse and saw on the menu, like, oh,
a tomahawk, right, I've never had one before, have you know?
I've never had one before?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Either.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
We can share that, right, that sounds big. Let's just
get one tomahawk. Let's share it and then we'll get
like a couple sides or whatever. So that's what we did.
And the tomahawk was the whole thing was like well done,
which was not how we ordered it. And there was
only like one little section that was not well done.
(11:16):
So that was the piece that I was eating. Yeah,
there was a lot of fat on it. I don't
know if all tomahawks are like this. It sucks when
you have something for the first time, and it's not
a good experience. Yeah, because now you assume that you
don't like that exactly when like maybe they're not all
like that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I don't know sure, And it.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Just didn't seem like it had Like I don't know,
I guess good steaks you don't really season a lot.
It's kind of like how you're supposed to just you
cook it a certain way, but like this felt like
it could have used some seasoning. Like it's not like
the steaks that have Atlantic Ocean those are fucking fired. Yeah,
this tomahawk that we had at this random El Paso
(11:56):
steakhouse was not great. So that kind of ruined it
for me.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Yeah, I didn't know it was gonna be a two
hundred dollars order. Otherwise I would have ordered that.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Should have just ordered it and shared it like it
like I did.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Maybe I'm glad we didn't because her, so hers is medium,
so that the server comes back, it's fourth person we're
talking to. Now, server comes back, Hey, what's going on?
It's my fiance is very great. She goes, hey, look
because the lady asks, like, how's your stakes? Whatever, she
goes you know what, I'm I'm gonna keep this. I'm
not complaining, but just for the kitchen, just for the
just they know, I ordered medium rare, and as you
can tell, this is more medium, like there's barely any pink.
(12:28):
She goes, oh, I'm sorry. She goes, you made a fire.
Another one. She goes, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna have
this one. It's totally fine. It's just not what I ordered.
She goes, oh, okay. The floor manager comes back. Now
this is five times. So now the floor manager come back.
Oh my gosh, I understand that. You know, it's not right,
and the da da da. My fiance is like, no,
it's it's totally fine. I'm gonna have it. It's delicious.
(12:49):
It's just not what I ordered. Just so that the
the kitchen, it's just you know, let them know, like
maybe they're timing it wrong, like just so you know,
do you think it ended there?
Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, of course not.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The chef comes out to the table, Hey, I understand
there's a problem with the steak, and so I'm like,
my fuck god, I'm like, well, they're they're good, like
you know, as we explain to the server and the
floor manager, we're gonna eat them. We love them. Hers
was just a little overcooked, and he goes, I just
(13:21):
fired another steak. I'll happily bring you that one.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Goes, oh, I thought you're gonna say fired another chef
or something. I just fired another cook.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So I just fired another stake. I'll happily bring you
that one instead, so that way you know you're not
eating alone. And she goes, no, no, no, it's great. I'm
halfway through this one already. I'm gonna finish it, but
just you know, so you know, he's like, okay, you know,
if there's anything, we can make it up, you know,
da da da da jes He's like, no, no, it's fine.
He's like, I can send you anything you want from
the kitchen. And we're like, we're stuffed, bro, We're eating
so much food right now. He's like, okay, okay, before
(13:50):
the server comes back at the end, take dessert orders.
The floor manager comes back again. So now that's like
six like right, yeah, six times, And so she's like, hey,
you know, I understand the chef came out. He apologized,
you know, you know what, we're working on it. Just
so you know, I'm gonna take the charge off the
bill for the steak, and my fiance is like, you're
very gracious. You didn't need to because you know by
(14:11):
now I finished the whole thing. Like it was great,
just not what I ordered. You know, certain people more
picky than me. I just wanted the kitchen to know.
She goes, no, no, no, we're taking the steak off. The
bill it's great, like we hope you have a good time.
We're like, okay, fine, cool, it was six right, and
then the lady comes back. We do dessert. She comes back,
drops the bill off. That's like the seventh time people
are visiting the table, and then she's like, here's the dessert.
(14:33):
The floor manager told me to take the steak off.
It was like, I just wanted to go and have
a date night. Yeah, but it was like it was
like a group chat. It was like so many people
were coming to the table and I and I kept
telling the fiance and like, I know they're trying to
improve their service or whatever, and I know they're trying
to get better, and I know they're trying to make
sure we have good time, but like there's a lot
(14:53):
of like talking going on with us, right, Like we're
not able to chill, right, is it just me and
she goes, no, this we're being visited a lot, like
this is a lot today. Like I get it, they're
trying to do good and I'd rather that than be ignored,
but this was a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I was just thinking, like it's a weird like.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Balance, Yeah, it's it's a.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Very weird the medium of I don't know, over servicing,
like you want to make sure you communicate and that
you know they're happy and that everyone has what they need,
and like say, there is a problem, like how would
you guys have felt if they just acted like they
(15:35):
didn't care, you know, after you said something and it
very was over communicative.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Oh my god, it was so much over communicative. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
But then at the same time, like cause sometimes I'd
be like like damn, they won't leave us alone. But
then there's other times where I've been like this surve
ain't been over here once, like we're sitting here fucking waiting.
I need this, or like, you know, even if I
didn't mind them checking on me when I'm signing the
check and I think about the tip, I go, I
(16:05):
do go back to like they didn't really come check
on us, So I'm not going to tip as much
as I would have had I been properly customer service.
So it's like this weird. I like being left alone,
but at the same time, I know it's part of
the job. Hey, you're supposed to come check on us
every once in a while. Don't stand there and chat.
But like, hey, you guys good, everything's good, and you
need anything? No, okay, cool, I'll.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Take circle back in fifteen, like I'll take the are
you good versus so what you're doing for the rest
of the day, how it was your weekend. It's like
I don't need that. I don't need that, and I
love talking to people. It's just I don't know why
everyone's asking me what my plans for the day are now.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I don't love talking to people because I feel like
we talk so much already.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I love it. I'll talk to anybody, it's not about
my weekend plan for.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, Like sometimes when you just like sometimes I just
don't want to talk or I don't want to like
you know, maybe I'm probably just like sleepy or exhausted,
or I'm just like not in the mood. Because I
won't ever like it's not like i'll be rude to people,
but sometimes I'm just like, oh god, I kind of
just want to be left alone, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah. That's why I get a lot of lyft drivers
and before they pick me up, I get an alert
it says like this driver is hard of hearing or death, like, please.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Don't they don't want to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Because every time I've had that alert, I don't know
if Uber does it. I don't take Uber, but like
every time I have that alert on my lift, as
soon as they drop me off, just by instant, I
go hey, thank you, and they go, hey, yeah, no problem.
Every good day they say something, I'm like, yeah, it
is fool could have been talking to me.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I was just thinking, like I should learn how to
sign like I'm hard of hearing or something, so that
I can sign that to people when I don't want
to talk when they're trying to customer service me and
won't shut up.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Be careful because somebody like my niece may no sign
language and be like, oh here we go. Was that
and they starts talking to.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
You, then I'm gonna do the.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I only speak Spanish ASL.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
But I'd be like, oh fuck, you got me. I
just don't. I'm really sorry, just don't feel like talking.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yo. We had when Lazette and I were in Austin.
One of our first ride share drivers was losing her
oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
She was half deaf, half.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Deaf, and the whole like fifteen to twenty minute commute.
We were peppering her with questions about what's it like
losing your hearing and you know sign language, and she goes, oh, yeah,
there's different types of sign language. We're like what and
we're talking about like, hey, when you watch TV and
somebody's like translating, like do an asl like can you
read that? Or do you call them out? Because like
it looks fake to me? Sometimes she goes no. We
(18:33):
were asking her about her deafness the entire road chah,
but she was super cool about it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Yeah, I think she could hear us in the ear
that we were talking to though.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Well, it makes all the difference, right, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Because it was only one ear that she was losing
hearing in, right.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Or both one ear is very one ear has a
lot of loss, the other is slowly catching up to
that loss. So she won't be permanently sorry, she won't
be an entire deaf, but she is losing her hearing
and like, luckily she interesting, how did she she already
knew sign language for something? Right? What did she?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
I think she was just studying it or something. And
then that's why she moved to Austin because she mentioned
that Austin had a big heart of hearing community. Yeah, weird,
And she moved there for like school or for work
or something like that. I don't remember, but speaking of
hearing and not hearing, when I went home for the
(19:31):
fourth of July, I was at my aunt's house and
we were walking up. Me and my sister was my
song with us, I think, So we're walking up to
my aunt's house and we could hear this like have
you ever done, like, you know, the hearing tests on
(19:53):
your phone and it's like that really high frequency like
and then it's well, it's like sometimes those videos come
up where it's like it'll count down from like a hundred, right,
and the it starts with like a really high pitched
frequency sound and then it'll keep going down. It's like,
what number could you hear it up to? Like, you know,
(20:13):
somewhere one of the neighbors' houses was putting out that
really high pitch frequency sound. Yeah, and at first, I
didn't know where it was coming from because we're walking
across the street and I could hear it, and I
thought I was fucking going crazy because I was I'm
walking and I'm like, what the fuck? And I'm looking around,
but it's like I don't see anything. Nobody else is reacting,
and I'm like, what the hell is that? And then
(20:33):
it stops, and then it starts again. I'm like, is
there aliens out here? Like what's going on? We go
in the backyard and I hear it again because everyone's
taking out in the backyard. They're barbecuing and he my
uncle built like this big batting cage for my little
cousin because he's like super into baseball now. So they
go back there and practice whatever. Everyone's back there drinking
(20:55):
and eating, and I hear it again and I'm like,
does anyone hear that sound? Owned And my cousins, who
are like a little younger than me, they're like, oh, yeah,
that's the neighbor Huh. We think that they like installed
that to like scare the cats away. They don't want
(21:17):
the cats going in their yard. So that just kind
of goes off throughout the day and I'm like that's
so annoying. And yeah, but my mom doesn't hear it.
My dad doesn't hear it either, what like, yeah, only
we hear it. The older people don't hear it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
And I'm certain parts of the frequency, like you lose
the highs and the lows.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
So all the old people at my aunt's house they
could not hear it. They had no idea what we
were talking about. Only like me and the cousins could
hear it. Whoa, And I'm like, oh my god. So
those people who installed they probably have no idea how
annoying that is. They probably can't hear it either. They
probably think it's like a dog whistle whistle yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yeah, it's either a scared of cats or like birds away,
but it's it's used to scare away.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh my god. And then I saw a baby possum.
Oh it was so cute. It hissed at me.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah that's the cute part. Yeah, oh okay.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It was like literally could fit in the palm of
my hand. And it was running across the street and
we walked up to it. I was recording a video.
I have a video, and it stopped and it turned
around and said yeah, and me and my sister were like, oh,
and then it's like his And then it stared at
us and we didn't move, and then it turned around
and it kept walking and we were like, let's go
(22:32):
get it again. And we got closer and it stopped
and it said and we were like, oh my god,
it's so cute. It was so tiny.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah out here in these streets.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Listen said, let me see here. I know I got

hell of fireworks. We weren't in the hood or nothing,
