Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, everybody, Welcome to the ATA Pod. I'm Danny Veego. Joined today.
Bye Rob and Carlas.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
What's up.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Okay, it's good to see you guys. We're recording. I
don't know why I'm saying that, obviously we're recording. Welcome
to the podcast that's recorded. We just hit seven hundred
and fifty episodes. So you think i'd be a fuck
fuck you bro, But yeah, I got a story for you, guys.
(00:31):
I'm pretty excited about this. So I went to New
York City, what city? Whoa? And I flew into Newark Airport,
which is not really necessary to say, except you take
a train from the train.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
It's not an Amtrak.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
It's not an Amtrak. So you get on a real
train and then you take it's called an air train.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Yeah, not that pussy Amtrak, a real train.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
And the air train in Newark is very distinctive because
it has They were they were like how many people,
and they were like, I don't know, like ten people
will ride it. We don't really know. And the cars
are like weirdly small, like the size of this living
room length wise, like just super weirdly like the size
of a big van, almost like why it's a trade.
(01:15):
So anyway, I'm in one of these cars and I
have just whatever all like, I kind of look a
little weird. I'm wearing shades and I have like my
gray pants on and a black shirt, so I look
a little bit like a super tech bro. Anyway, this guy,
this dad, is there, his dad, wife, three kids, and
he's talking about a movie which I recently saw, the
nineteen eighties classic I believe it's eighties Plans, Trains and Automobiles.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Do you guys know? Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
And roughly the premise of this movie is it's it's
kind of an anti buddy comedy, Like this guy kind
of doesn't literally like this other guy, but he keeps
ending up stuck with him. And then the other guy's
John Candy, so he's like fat and adorable and he
causes all guys of high jinks and he ends up
joining them for Thanksgiving dinner or whatever. Yeah, I spoiled it.
Sorry it anyway, he's talking about plans, trains and automobiles,
(02:03):
which I've honestly only heard the phrase. Right, It's like
a saying all this, never heard anyone talk about it.
It's like, you know, it's so funny. I just saw
a movie, so I have strike up conversation. We're talking,
we're laughing. This guy actually says, yeah, I've only seen
two movies in theaters in my entire life, and that
was one of them. And I'm like, I need to
know a lot more about your life because that's one
(02:23):
of the craziest things I've ever heard. Yeah, anyway, so
we're talking, laughing whatever, it's like, look fun at the airport.
Whoever heard of such a thing? The AirTrain then stops
and there's like a fucking like a sandwich board sign
that says don't get off here, like the station is closed.
It was kind of ambiguous, and he goes, what is
that sign doing there? And I'm like, yeah, what is it?
(02:45):
So I step out of the car and I grab
the sign to like move it so we can get out.
His daughter follows me, and then the door shut it
me and his daughter. So I was like, how much
money can I make? So Fortunately, I had seen this
episode of Louie and I had this in my head
(03:06):
where if you're separated, if the child is separated, the
child always stays still. So I kind of had that
pre program and I just looked at them through the
glass and I was like, we're staying here. We're staying here.
So the newer employee, there's an employee there like kind
of approached and I was like, hey, they just got
separated from their kid. I'm not a pedophile. I'm not
(03:26):
a pedophile. I'm not a pedophile. He's like, I didn't
think you were.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, So he's like radioing but like not, He's like
he's kind of like one of these like okay, yes, yes, okay,
yeah yeah yeah. And so then then I'm like, so
is it. So I was like, so then I go, Hi,
I'm Danny. I'm actually not really comfortable with kids. And
she's like I'm Gabby. But she's like really acting very calm.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
She like.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I have no clue, I'm not you know, so, and
I'm just like I don't know. I just feel like this,
I think just like on their behalf, just like oh god,
they just got separated from their kid at the fucking airport. Bro,
Like what a nightmare. Anyway, he ends up like vaguely
communicating like no train in that side. I'm like, do
not speak English, do not speak loudly? Like what's going on?
(04:13):
So there was there's literally no trains could come on
the other side, so it was a one way thing.
So anyway, it was no big deal. We actually just
got on the next train went over, and then her
dad was just like.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You are a good god. You are a good god.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
And I was like, dude, I mean this is just
where I was going.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Do you think I was gonna abandon? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
What was I gonna do at P three? I don't
think I got to make that port authority bus? So yeah, sorry,
he comes every thirty minutes. Dude, I gotta get out
of here.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But yeah, I just felt like such a movie moment
where the stakes just got so high, you know what
I mean. I did feel responsible for her. It wasn't
like it was challenging.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah, kind of on them for letting her walk off first,
what's up with that?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I know she kind of booked it on out of there.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
She's like, I'm want to live with this guy now.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The mom was a little dramatic, so like you know
that thing, it's like kind of a woman thing, like
like covering her mouth. You're like, like, okay, it was
it was seven minutes.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Let you're with a Cuban man run.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Along the train with the daughter hand in hand.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I know that would have been very dramatic.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You him freaking out way more than.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, that was a Tory who's done the podcast before
went to her wedding at Central Park. Congrats Tory and Kai.
They're probably gonna do an episode in the future.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
I finally, why did you do an episode from New
York that had been You're like right before they're.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Hey, guys, we do a little ad about weddings. That
could be pretty fun.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You get your hair done right now, You're not gonna
move for three.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Hours, speeches, you record a pod real quick to suation.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
But yeah, they're super super cute, super sweet, great fans,
a lot of great characters, so it was really fun nice.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, was there a wedding aspect?
Speaker 1 (06:02):
No, I wasn't part of the Actually I don't think
there was. Like, actually I did commit a faux pall
you guys is pretty bad. So basically I knew all
the comics, yeah, fake Paul. I was like I'm a bear,
No you're not. And I got slapped by one of
the Central Park Grizzlies. So uh, there's I knew like
all the comics except like this one girl and this
(06:24):
is this is the level of charm I deployed. This
is so inept. So she was like, Hi, you know,
I'm I'm Marie. You know I'm a comic. And I
was like, yeah, I figured as much. And she literally
did not look at me for the entire night, and
I was like, that's fair. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I wasn't even done that. We were just trying some
shitty shit out.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah. I didn't mean it to be that shitty, but
it came off really shitty.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Once ti that happened to me, someone came out to
me and they're like, you were so funny and I
was just trying to like weird. I was like, I know,
and then they were like, wow, that was disgusting.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
Then you lost.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
I don't know, but from then on I was like,
that's what I'm doing now, that's my favorite thing.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I know.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
I was fucking funny, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
But it was a beautiful time in New York City.
I saw Sarah record an episode. It came out nice. Yeah,
it was cool. All right, Carla, did you want to
get into your thing? Now?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Would I be the asshole for revoking leftovers from somebody?
I promised them too? All rkay? So there's two couples,
very good friends. They've been having dinner together for a
long time. They've been friends for years. They're very close,
they go out and do things together. Very close couple friends,
(07:40):
which don't we all want that in life? So one day,
let's call him Matt. Matt Is. Matt and his wife
are in their thirties. The other couple are in their
mid twenties. Let's call her Susie. These are the two
people you really need to know. Matt, who has a wife, Susie,
who has husband. They're all friends. So Matt hits up
(08:03):
Susie and says, hey, are you trying to hang out
next week? Like let's all have dinner this and that,
and she and Susie's like, yeah, let's do it. My
husband is going to be unavailable. He's doing something, so
it's just gonna be me. Heads up and Matt's like,
oh yeah, that's cool. My wife is also busy, Like
it can just be you and me, we can catch
up whatever. Matt and Susie have done this before. They've
(08:26):
hung out one on one all the time. They've won
to shows alone together as well as kind of different
pairings within the couple have all hung out one on one, okay.
So leading up to this dinner, Susie contacts Matt and says, hey,
by the way, I have to work the next day.
I love taking leftovers to work with me for lunch. Like,
(08:48):
is there anyway since it's just going to be you
and me that I could take the leftovers to lunch
the next day for work? Like, can I take them?
And so Matt says yeah, sure, like that should be
fine whatever. Okay, So they move on. Week goes by,
it's the day of the dinner, and Susie goes, hey, Matt,
so my husband is actually available tonight, so is it
(09:11):
okay if he comes and we can all hang out together?
And Matt's like, yeah, of course, dude, like tell him
to come along. There's plenty of food for everybody. So
so Matt's cooking, Matt's cooking, got it. They're at Matt's house.
Matt's cooking. So Matt hits up his wife and says, oh, hey,
I'm bumm that you're not going to be here because
Susie's husband, their friend is also coming, so it's just
(09:34):
going to be us three and I know you'll be
home late, so just heads up. I told Susie that
she could take leftovers with her so that she could
eat him at lunch tomorrow at work, and Matt's wife
is like, no, like I want the leftovers. I want
to come home and eat them, and then I also
(09:55):
want them to just be leftovers for my lunch tomorrow
at work. And so Mac goes, okay, sounds good, messages
Susie before they come and says, hey, just a heads up,
my wife actually wants the leftover, so there won't be
any leftovers for you to take home.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And Susie says okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So Susie and her husband come over. They're all hanging out.
He's cooking dinner. Matt's wife ends up coming home in
time for dinner, so she's there too. Now all four
of them are hanging out. They're eating dinner. He made
this like I forget what it was, like some kind
of like seafood pasta, like a clam pasta or something
like that. And they finish eating dinner and there's like
(10:34):
a scoop and a half left of pasta, which is
like kind of enough for a lunch, not really, and
so they all go in the living room. They're like
playing cards or whatever they're doing, and Matt goes, hey,
I'm gonna go into my studio for a bit and
work Like is that okay? They're like yeah, whatever. Matt's
in his studio and he says that he hears Susie
(10:56):
talking to his wife and her husband as they're like
get ready to leave, and goes, yeah, Matt said that
I could take the leftovers home for lunch. And Matt
hears this and yells from the other room and says, no,
I didn't. I told you you can't take the leftovers.
My wife wants them for her lunch the next day,
(11:17):
so like I told you this, don't say that I
told you, Like I originally said you could take them,
but then I messaged you and I told you today
that you couldn't take the leftovers she and she starts
to argue with her and goes, no, you said I
could take leftovers, and now I'm like, what am I
gonna eat for lunch tomorrow? And Matt's like, it's not
my problem, like it's our leftovers. They get in this
big tiff. Susie and her husband leave and they have
(11:37):
not talked to this day because he refused to give
her the leftovers. So is he the asshole for revoking
leftovers that he originally promised her but then changed his mind.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
We talked about this one earlier and I was like,
it's such a quick no for me. I'm like, this
is clearly cast he's fault or whatever. She just doesn't
respect Susie. It was Susie.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I might have gone from I said, Susie.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I think she went both, but Susie.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Whatever, this lady, that's like you said I could have
the left right, None of that matters.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
It's the wife wants them, so that's over.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah, I feel like that's just not how are you
still laughing at me? Screaming or what it was making? Laugh? Okay, good,
that was a good scream anyway. I know the row
do move?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I feel like, yeah, it's not the agreement we're gonna be.
We're gonna be couples that die together. Like you know,
it's like you're weirdly like asking for more. It also
seems like that meal seemed particularly unsuited.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
It's like seafood is expensive, you know, it's like, oh,
can I take some scallot? What do would you say?
It was muscles or some shit.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, it was something like that, which was also a
part of the conversation with the wife, who was like, no,
we're like buying all this food.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, I want to eat it.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I'm not just gonna give it away to someone.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
She was being inept about what the kind of like
implicit boundaries of that are.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
What caught me was like how entitled that she was.
After he texted her and was like, this is not
happening anymore. And then she tried to pull one over
on him with the wife and be like he said
I could do this, and he's like, no, I did it.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Oh I did not.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, why would she do that?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
I don't know. And they've been friends forever, so like
he's so out of character, Like I don't know where
this all came from.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So well, no, I know where it came from. That
pasta's fucking fire because here's the thing she asked a
week before before the food didn't know the menu was made.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
She's just like, I love leftovers, I love surplus value.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
I mean, look, I see a lot of there's potential,
like tension in this this this whole configuration seems quite
fraught to me, you know, obviously people can be friends
blah blah blah. But like mid thirties couple hanging out
with the mid twenties couple and him and her go
out alone. I'm like that, I mean, I don't know
if they like go on, I don't really go I mean,
like you said, one on one that was a whole
(14:05):
have they have. It's like that's a little odd. It's
a little odd to me.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
Maybe kids, I don't know, a little bit age difference.
Why is the age of difference to the odd part?
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Because you know, generally speaking, the older guy younger girl.
It's like, well, you think spars ain't gonna fly, spars
can fly. That's how that works. That's why you try
not to put yourself in situations like that. Damn.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, So what if Lily went out with one of
your couple friends, just the man? How would you feel
about that?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Usually not literally nothing for dinner?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Would you mean that?
Speaker 3 (14:41):
If? Again, if it's like are they close?
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Are they if they're if all three of us, all
four of us are close enough, I never understood. I'm like,
why do we all have to be together? For like,
we all have independent relationships with one another. Sometimes you don't.
Sometimes you're like, we only know each other as couples,
and then that would be weird. But if you're like, no,
we all know each other is whatever, Like I don't
care because there's no part of me that's like, oh,
I bet something's gonna happen. I don't trust my wife.
(15:05):
There's a there's none none of that.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's you're right. I mean, obviously it's more contextual,
but I'm just saying, does this it smells funky to me?
You know, like, for instance, the whole case of this podcast,
you know, well hang out on on one. Of course,
she has a fiance. There's nothing this We we've known
each other forever. We know each other for like seven
years or some shit, so there's nothing there. But yeah,
(15:27):
that I think what I I guess maybe I misheard it,
but it sounded to me more like they were a
couple friends. So to go from like, oh, we're we
hang out as couples to like, oh, yeah, now I'm
hanging out with just the girl. I'm like, that seems
just a little odd. It's like a couple of friends.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
I took it as like they do this regularly enough
that like when one of them couldn't make it when
like a husband or whatever. Yeah, they're like, we're not
mailing plans, we're keeping the whatever because we do this
so often. And then inevitably everyone ended up being available
and there was way less left hottest because the thing
she said was like there was like a scoop and
a half of pasta left or something, so it wasn't
even that much to fight over.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
But even before the wife ended up coming and the
other husband ended.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
Up coming, he did tell her.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
He told her, I don't even care if there's leftovers,
They're not.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yours, not for you.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, it was established. Yeah, I mean she could have
really just been like, I'll have seconds ate at all.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Honestly, it wasn't that she wanted leftovers for the next day.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
She wanted the same I'm saying as a move of
terrorism to be like fuck you I'm meeting. Yeah, I mean,
I just feel like you're not obviously entitled to leftovers.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
It sounds that is so silly.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, I mean it just sounds like I don't know,
I don't understand. I mean I was saying that, not
because I don't think men and women can be friends,
but I'm just like, is there a subtext here that
would lead her to do this and all of a
sudden act really entitled because it almost because sometimes I
feel like people will do things to create a division
because they they want to divide, but they're not going
to say the real thing.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah m hmm. But I also wonder if she just
did it because it's like, yeah, she was entitled to it.
But also it's the sneaky being like, I know he's
not in the room anymore, so I'm just gonna.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Lie, that's crazy because he's already talked to you twice
and been like with this bitch wants and my wife
wants to it's off the table.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
And then you're trying to make me look bad in
front of my wife.
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Not only that you don't even care if I look
bad or now you're just trying to steal He loves
that pasta. That's why you cannot hang out with Albanian people.
I'm just I'm putting it out there.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Every time Roger says anything that he's.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
No, I think racism towards Albanians, we can probably fly.
Come on, guys, the population they're white, aren't they They're
white and they're Muslim I'm not comfortable with both Muslim society.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I do have to beep out the name that he said,
because that's ship said.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Dude, I was paying attention to im saying because I
don't want to do.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
It, and she said both names to funk up.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Listen to all this bullshit again. No, I'm just kidding.
It's not a problem. I always listen to them.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
But don't be about your outburst because that was funny.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, fuck them. Fuck is poisoning me.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
That's why I was like, is the situation.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
No, it's they're acting entitled. It's crystal clear, and you
know you don't get the leftovers. Because here's the other
thing I was going to say. You know, it's like
I'm trying to think of an example, but like the
the familiarity, familiarity breeds like a little bit more quid
pro quoism. Yeah, you know, like for instance, my buddy
(18:48):
he lends me his camping gear, my good friend Tony. Now,
I could be like, bro, let me, let hit me
and let me get the gear. Let me get the gear,
but I feel bad doing that because I'm like, well,
am I giving him? So I showed up with his
favorite Seltz water because like I feel gross doing that
because it's like, yeah, you're giving me something, but I
(19:08):
want to give you something too, Like I don't have.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Any how you wanted to feel reciprocal.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I wanted to feel reciprocal. So it's like you're asking
for leftovers, but like what are you Are you going
to give leftovers next time? Like that's kind of a trade.
So it's like I hate to think of the world
like that, but it is kind of like the more
you become familiar an intimate with someone, like you do
have to be kind of cognizant of that bring a dessert.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, yeah, attribute that way. I will say. I went
to the other Danny who's been on this podcast at
Eliza's house for dinner recently, and I we weren't there
for dinner. We were all hanging out, and then we
were all hanging out so long that she was like,
should I just like make dinner for everyone? And we
were all like, uh yeah. So she's like, I gotta
(19:51):
go get supplies. So we all walk to the store together. Yeah,
we're getting supplies. I ended up taking so much time
that I had to leave before dinner was made, like finished,
because I had to go on to a show they
accounted from us, and she said to me as I
was leaving, Hey, I'm going to send these guys who
live in your neighborhood home with some so that you
can have some Spaghettian peoples.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Right.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
So I was like, okay, great, Yay. The next day
I text her and I'm like, hey, what are your
friend's number? I want to pick up my leftover. She goes, oh, sorry,
they didn't end up being any left and I was
kind of like, well, damn, but I couldn't be mad.
I couldn't be mad, but I was sad. But there's like,
you could have either portioned some out for me, because
you said you were giving me some, but instead everybody
(20:33):
who was there, which is totally valid ate more than
she expected, and so there was nothing left for me.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
But there's a good phrase there that I need to
hear because I've broken this a couple of times recently,
and us pretty good under promise and over deliver.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So yeah, if she had said if there's leftovers, yes,
but she said I'll.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Put some aside for you exactly.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
And also, it's just knowing Danny's cooking, it's just you
feel like you miss out when you don't get to
eat it. It's so good.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Over promising and under delivering.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
That's my study. That's Rod.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That's what I almost.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Made her next message, she was like, there was none lesson.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I just said, boom. Well, guys, we got a juicy
little apparu for you and yours. Thanks for listening, and
uh we're we're really so happy to have Carla and
Rod dou here and uh rate review and subscribe.
Speaker 2 (21:23):

A for wanting to leave my husband when he's finally
doing exactly what I wanted. My husband and I've been
married for almost seven years together for nine we have
two small children who love him very much. For our
(24:22):
entire relationship, he's not been the most affectionate or effusive.
He's never called me beautiful or anything like that. I
attributed that to pastor on my culture. Recently, I learned
he's basically financially wrecked his business over the last year
doing things that when he ran past me, I said
was a bad idea. He always jokingly beautiful or by
(24:43):
an afferris wheel, you ugly woman. He always jokingly would
say he's smarter than me, what the fuck? And knew
his business best. Always claimed that I was reckless with money,
that he knew best about finances. After learning of his failures,
I was very calm and told him he just needed
to work hard and fix it. Truly, his business and
financial standing means nothing to me. Soon after he told
(25:06):
me he quote just realized how much I love him
and that he should have been treating me better. Now
he tells me he loves me all the time, calls
me a queen, calls me beautiful. However, now this makes
me repulsed and angry. Why it feels like a desperate
attempt to keep me. And when all this blows over,
We'll go back to the same old behavior where I'm
taking for granted and essentially emotionally abuse ATA for just
(25:26):
want to know.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oo, this guy's so complex. This is a whole half
a life story in one A I t a promp.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I wish we got just a little I want to
know what this guy's business is.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, he's like I'm a wasteman.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I'm a carpenter and we're buying a laser. We're buying
a giant laser.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
It's so interesting that she's like his stands or his
success means nothing to me. I just love him for
who he is. The guy who jokingly tells me I'm
dumber than him.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
What funny joke.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
If you don't love him for his money, you love
him for his bad personality. That makes no sense at all.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, it's like, what.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
Do you like?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
It doesn't even sound like he has very much money.
He sounds like he ran on, sounds like he loves
him for his.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Terrible person I don't understand. He's like, one thing I
love about you, you fucking dumb, and I'm smart of me, Me.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And me love that about you.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
I think it worked. I think that works though for
some If you people have low self esteem and then
they get attacked, exactly reinforces. Actually, this is one of
the classic tales. I can't tell you the context, but basically,
this guy I knew of he would His wife was
like ready to ready to lose weight, and he knew
that if she lost that weight that she would leave,
(26:55):
and so he would always buy pies and cakes and
leave him around the How fucked up is that?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Did she fall forward?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
I think she eventually she eventually just left the house
or something.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
I mean, watching some clear Psycha Atlanta pie that they're
like maybe here, maybe, yeah, why is.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
There a pie in our bedroom? Did you eat it?
Did you like it? Ice cream? That is so sick.
It goes out there, that is so sick. Yeah, I
do think, like I feel like some women feel guilt
about this because like it sounds almost gold digging. But
like when men are extremely risky with money, which we
(27:35):
obviously like see like with the crypto booms and stuff
like that, we did situations like this guy's like yeo,
babe bye. You know, I took out a second mortgage
and put on to eat.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
The dice will eventually roll afore we can't keep losing.
You could only lose so much statistically to come black.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
It's like it took a huge risk, you know, it
was like foreseeable, like you're fucking monster, Like, you know,
that's crazy. That's not the same as gold digging. It's
not leaving someone. It's like you left him because he
acted improvidently, Like that's crazy.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
But of course I had to gamble on the Little
League World Series. My friend is rigging, dude.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
We got a Romanian guy reporting the scores. We have
a half second edge. This guy is great.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Well, I guess I'm just so confused because she's like,
he never calls me beautiful, he literally does, Like, why
does she love her? Why does he love him? I
don't understand. And now she thinks she's the bad guy
because now that he's finally doing the things that she wanted,
she hates it. And it's because exactly well, it's because
(28:42):
now he's kissing her feet. Yeah, he's kissing her fucking feet, Like, oh,
I just blew up our entire savings and any kind
of future we have together financially for any children or
any kind of retirement. But please don't leave me.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
You're so beautiful, yeah, horseeshit. I also just feel like
there's so when you bond with someone, there's like you
bond and there's like this thing, it's like this bond,
like this seal between you, and if that shit gets
broken up enough, it doesn't really matter if the person,
even if they weren't genuinely changing. It's just like you
don't understand there was a bond and now there's like
kind of not And I hit this point in a
(29:19):
relationship where I was like, look, it's like at this point,
I'm sober. That's what it is, too, Like there's a
sort of mutual delusion you enter into that's kind of
like love, right, Like you see only the good side
of that person. And if like that bond gets shattered,
you're like, and I'm not saying it's impossible to rebuild,
It could be possible, but you reach a point where
you're like looking at it now objectively, where I could
(29:42):
choose to rebuild with you or build with someone new.
I'd prefer to build with someone new because you be
the one to shadow of that bond through your behavior.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
I mean, I've been on both sides. I've been in
times where yeah, I'd rather be with someone new, in
times where I stuck it out because I was like,
I think there's still something worth investing in here. Yeah,
even though the bond has been shattered, I do still
have the ability to connect with what it was. But
then that's almost like more dangerous because then you're like
chasing something that used to be instead.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Of sound something new. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Yeah, even with that same person, it's like things will
never be the same. If what is going to be
moving forward is something we would both see ourselves liking,
that's one thing, and if not, then we shouldn't be together.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Anyone is making such a case.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Did you see him? He's he caught my dead eyes.
He was looking right through I was thinking about.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
I was like, can you imagine people are like in
India arranged marriage country. What are these pussies talking about
fucking bond? What do you mean My uncle said this
is my wife and now it's my wife. Why are
they being so gay?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh my god?
Speaker 5 (30:52):
These guys right now in Bangladesha, Nipa, they're like, I
know who the asshole is.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
It's Daddy and.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
Mary for I like the Indian accent. I want you
canceled for putting that's gay in the Indian's mouth. They're
not hacked.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Oh yeah, they're not homophobic.
Speaker 5 (31:08):
They are super progressive in the subcontinent of India.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
I feel like this is a case of when you know,
you know, and sometimes you know and it sounds like
op knows, No, he'd.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Be knowing, she'd be knowing.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But also, you know, what can I want also bring
up the conversation of like being in a relationship and
the whole he should know he should be doing these things,
and the does it feel the same when you have
to ask for something over and over again versus just
having someone you know what I mean? Like if it
was like I wish you would tell me that I'm
beautiful more often, I have to keep telling you that
and telling you that. I don't know. For me, I'm like, now,
(31:44):
whenever you say it to me, does do I feel
like I just you know, I.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
Know you're good at listening to me. I don't know
if you're any good at what I want you to do?
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Yeah, or or you're never going to be the person
I want you to be natural because I had to
tell you to do.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Of course, it's coming out of desperation, so it doesn't
even feel like genuine change. It feels like desperation this
one for sure.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yes, But I'm saying, even if he didn't financially ruin
everything and he started calling her beautiful and stuff, It's like,
would that have worked for her?
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Yeah? I mean, I think you just gotta take it
as the holistic picture, you know. It's like I think
it's good to give notes, but it's like, is it
coming from a place to actually make things better. For like,
he only called her beautiful when he wants something, or
you know what I mean. It's like kind of contextual

use that phrase the other way. They're like, it's all

Yeah, that's good. That means things are flowing.

And this not because we built a bridge. This person
just said too much water under Like that's the whole
point of a bridge.

Is one such a thing as too much too much?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
If the bridge is underwater itself, it's that it needs

She's the whole time giving advice that he's saying is

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The reason I don't like it is because it gets
into a very like you know, we're kind of saying this,
but it's like it's like this idea of like the
narcissists are out there and they're going to get us.
And I understand, I understand narcisses are real, et cetera.
But it's like, that's what I'm trying to say, Carla,
is that you got to take a responsibility for like
(35:20):
why did you get involved with someone like that? Like
you have to ask these questions like it's not a
superhuman vampire like you you were treated like that and
you're like, oh, he doesn't need to call me beautiful,

that to excuse anyone or anything. I'm said say in
the form that it is a manipulative of course, saying
where even people who can you know, flag a narcissist

be in a relationship with them. There are other forms
of narcissism that are more covert that take a long

someone in your love with them, Yeah, so much time,
and now you're like, fuck me, how did I get here?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Yeah, but you know, I feel like, yes, that's all true,
but I think like it gets like Trojan horsified, and
it's it's kind of like when if you if you
look at your experiences as like I'm always the victim,
then it's it's actually really bad. They've done studies like
you got to you gotta figure out what you did wrong,
otherwise you gotta do it again.

Got his ass too soon, AI TA for wanting to

I think we are all lined up kind of up here.
It's a big old case of too little, too late.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Yeah, not the asshole, and she is good luck sister.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
A second story, A TA for asking my server to
bring a new meal because mine was taken before I
was finished. I am to twenty eight go into a
restaurant around one p I'm dining solo. Place isn't busy,
which is fine. What it's not even busy. I'm fucking
out like what the waitress Jenny brings me my food.
(37:10):
I take a few bites when I get an ibs
flare up, so I go to use the restroom. I
was gone fifteen minutes, and when I came out at
the table I was at was cleared. For those unfamiliar
with ibs, it can oftentimes cause uncontrollable bowel movements that
can't wait. I hadn't given any indication I was done,
so I was surprised, but sat down. When Jenny walks by,
she goes, oh, I thought you dined in dash, to
(37:31):
which I said no, I had excused myself to the bathroom,
but I understand since I was dining alone, it looked empty.
Jenny tells me how dining and dashing has become a
real problem. She leaves and when she comes back, she
has the bill in hand, and I asked for my
food to be remade. Jenny explains she can't bring my
order back because it's already been tossed. I say that's fine,
but I want it remade. She's exasperated, saying how she
can't possibly keep track of everything, and asked me to
(37:53):
pay the check. I explain, I'm not paying, unlet's they
get a meal. Jenny says she'll be right back. When
she returns tells me they can't remake my order because
the crabcakes are made the night before and they're out.
I suggested ordering something else entirely. She said she can't
do that because the orders already rang up. I'm feeling uncomfortable,
and I've asked to talk to a manager, and I'm
currently waiting to hear back Auntie for asking for a
new meal when the old one was taken away before
(38:15):
I was finished.
Speaker 5 (38:18):
This is Actually, this is one of my favorite ones
because you're like, it's not cutting dry right away. It's
interesting the I mean, what the ladies, what's the ladies responsibility?
You walk by a table forty times, you're like, damn,
that's foods are sitting there. At some point you're be like,
I got to clear that table and get to the
next thing. You just have your own incentive structure to
worry about.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Yeah, fifteen minutes is that long I'm trying to do
it is a long time.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It's really long to.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Have no signal because women, if you have like a coat, then.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Exactly I was gonna say, bag, you know, but if
you leave something.
Speaker 5 (38:46):
Leave something, leave a bunch of condoms all over the table,
just so people know, Hey, I'm still eating.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
This ain't nothing too Yeah, yeah, yeah, this ain't done,
but it could be just getting started.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Come on, this ain't done, but I am trying to finish.
There we go.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Everyone's silently laughing. It doesn't sound like it, but they are.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
What about really evil guys trying to have fun but
they don't know how to laugh normal? You know, you
don't even sound like you're enjoying that.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
Man, I can't wait for Halloween version of this podcast.
That's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Anyways, so Op has this ibs irritable bowel syndrome.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Just call it being Jewish.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
And then no, I'm not pissed. I think it's fine.
That's true.
Speaker 3 (39:53):
I'm not laughing, that's I guess.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
My question is how much food was left? Did he
say how long he was there before he had his
ibs flare up? He said kind of right away, right.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah, I think I think like from I think it's
I mean, I just feel like, look, you're a restaurant.
It's an unusual I'll tell you an example. One time
I went, say, what's that place called Paris Baguette. I
love Paris Baguette. I kind of love those little places.
It's like an international change. You're like, that's so cute.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
I've never been.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, it's there's a series that I fucking love these places.
They just make like it's like crepes and yeah, it's
like French French ex Korean. So there's like tu la
jeux Paris bay get whatever. It's like a French it's
like a French Korean Chipotle, is what it feels like.
That's super fair and you could just go in and
grab it. And I used to just horse down like
(40:45):
eighteen dollars of pastries, just like a fucking little freak. Anyway,
what time I went into there and then I dropped
my pastries on the floor right at the front, you know.
But they didn't give me a bag or like they
did something. I forgot what they did. What's that aw.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
Like they weren't in bags or anything like.
Speaker 5 (41:03):
It hit the floor, floor, hit the fucking floor, you know,
and they were like, you're gonna eat that, theyde so.
Speaker 1 (41:09):
The girl made me eat it and then she slapped me.
Now let you go.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
All the time, I just kind of.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Said, I said the truth. I was like, hey, you
gave me this and it fell, and they're like, of course,
we'll give you another one, you know. And I just
kind of feel like that's just you know, when you're
a business and something kind of unfortunate happens, even if
it isn't really your fall.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
Like it's like, dude, I saw the best version of
this yesterday and my buddy was going and buying a
soda and he goes and grabs the crush or whatever
and it just falls.
Speaker 3 (41:37):
I think he'd already or no, I don't know what
it happened.
Speaker 5 (41:39):
He'd already paid for it, and he drops his soda
on the way out, and the guy's like, just put
it back in the thing, grab another one.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
And I was like, that's cool, but that means the
next guy that grass, so that's just awesome. He's like, yeah,
just go switch it out on. Well, fuck that guy.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
He's not here now, so it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I'll be settled by then.
Speaker 1 (41:58):
Yeah. I don't cal him down. Yeah, I just feel
like that's I mean, we're not at the phase of
capitalism yet where like this is like unheard of. I
feel like most businesses operate on this principle.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Also, I am so annoyed with servers who like uphold there.
I mean, I don't agree that the customer is always right,
but I definitely like as a server, was just like, sure, yeah,
I'll comp whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
I have no stake in this game, but I bet
I want you to tick.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
That's what I want.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
I think the problem is they do have a stack.
Speaker 5 (42:24):
I think that these restaurants sometimes are like, oh, if
you fuck this up, it comes out of your whatever.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I used to work for this evil restaurant for two months. Yes,
I served my time people and they this couple walked
out on me and they it was a sixty dollars
tab and they made me pay for half of it,
those crooks. So I had to pay thirty dollars because
I got it's crazy, should be illegal, right, And I went.
I went on the internet and I found out because
(42:48):
this guy was really into like he like, he's one
of those guys got like a spoiler on like a
shitty like civic or something.
Speaker 3 (42:54):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, fast and the furious. And I actually found his address,
so I waited outside his house for a couple of
days and I clocked him in the fucking knee with
a nine iron and I force fed him the mixed
drink of that night, which was called the Rodney Dangerfield.
(43:16):
And they're gonna say, well because it was a comedy club,
but it really was. It was kind of a scam
because you.
Speaker 3 (43:22):
Would literally order last comedy cuffine.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah, well, I forgot what it's called. Uh No, I
was in Tucson, Fuck you, I'm rich. What I say,
where are we going with?
Speaker 2 (43:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Because I was in Phoenix. I Phoenix's Core.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
I know what this is.
Speaker 1 (43:36):
So yeah, so you would get the price of the
like special drink at the comedy club wasn't on the menu,
and it was fifteen dollars. And this was in twenty
and eight, when fifteen dollars was like, holy shit, that
was like two hundred dollars into three magazines. Bro, dude,
I could have had three magazines. But yeah, so it
(43:59):
was thirty dollars because he got one for him in
his check.
Speaker 3 (44:01):
So anyway, damn, damn, But you were.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
One of the reasons we want to talk about this
is because you know, it is a thing when you
go to the bar or whatever, they'll take your drink
and it's halfway done that check not even halfway.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Sometimes there's like a good sip left, but it's an old.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
Fashioned it's a good sick That's all you have is
old just picking up.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Your drink, they pick up you're holding.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
Now, yeah, that's very fun.
Speaker 2 (44:28):
Well in this situation though, too, she already thought he
dined and dashed, so like there's no difference of like
if you already had to pay for it, she already.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
Yeah, you're right, So it's not kind of the same scenarios,
same ship, Like I feel likes being difficult. Maybe she
had a tough shift.
Speaker 3 (44:44):
Maybe it was new. This is a new waitress vibe,
veteran waitress chat. I know how to fuck it.
Speaker 5 (44:50):
You know what the night manager ows me three flavors
from a blow drop six months ago.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
I know how to make all this even now.
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, three favorites.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
I feel like if the.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Customer is being rude, because even when I'm having a
when I was having a bad day as a waitress
with like micro address, like four hours of microaggressions. Yeah,
a customer comes up to if they're nice to me,
I'm nice to them. I'm not taking it out on them.
But then I also feel like I will be a
bit to you if you're shitty to me. I'm not.
I'll lose this job. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (45:21):
I was reading fuck You, a Reddit thread that was
like life acts. It was like, always be nice to
the customer service people, which is always my strategy because
that is how you get free shit. They don't care,
they just have to do it. Zebra fish rites. No
assholes here, though, they'd be the asshole if they don't
make you another meal. When the manager gets started telling
them you have a health condition, that sometimes pulls you
away for a while. And you understand how it looked
(45:43):
like you left. You can apologize for the misunderstanding and
tell them next time you'll leave a hat or something
on the table, but then politely tell them you'd like
another meal to be made, or for your order to
be constance. You'd only eat in a few bites. Yeah,
super reasonable, agreed. I would like it if the manager
just kept hitting on that gott to leave a hat though,
you need to leave a hat.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
How she's supposed to something?
Speaker 1 (46:05):
Leave a hat, leave a caldom, leave the keys.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
I want to leave a sock.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Leave a sock. You have so leave a song to
leave a So you got to the wedding ring.
Speaker 3 (46:16):
That would be so depressed.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
Well we saw.
Speaker 5 (46:18):
We assume you went to the bathroom to kill yourself
because you left your wedding man.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
She didn't come, by the way, if that's what you're
waiting for, she did not come through.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
She hates me.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
I wanted to tell you my service story about this woman.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Okay, let's wrap it a I t for asking my
server to bring a new meal because mine was taken before.
I think it's no assole, as you're saying. Not the ASSHOLEO.
Speaker 3 (46:44):
Jenny is I don't know enough, but Jenny needs.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
To learn her last second. She made an error a
little and I don't.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Really think she made an error.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
She made an error.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
I think it was just bad.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
You check before you pool, you go to the bathroom and.
Speaker 2 (46:57):
Check if someone's taking a ship.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
Before you pull out. I didn't say that, you said that.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
No, I'm asking if that's what you just said.
Speaker 3 (47:03):
No, it's not what I said. That's what I just said.
Speaker 1 (47:08):
You know what I'm saying. You check with the person, Oh,
are you done drinking this? And don't put your finger it.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Yeah, but if they were gone for all that time,
then you just assume they're gone because dining and dashing
is on the rise apparently.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yeah, that is fair.
Speaker 3 (47:20):
He gave us that that detail early on. It's not
that busy though. Yeah. I know.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
It's like if there's no pressing things like I can
on the side of caution.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
I can't keep track of everything. He's like three things.
You can't keep tracking.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
There's four other people in the whole restaurant, two or cooks,
and the other's Larry, the other server.
Speaker 3 (47:38):
Larry.
Speaker 1 (47:39):
Okay, your story, Carl Okay.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
So I used to work at this art gallery as
a cocktail wages. I love that job. Was awesome. In
the beginning, it was popping. There was like always cool
crowds of people. It felt like a little piece of
Brooklyn in Virginia. It's really cool and it was like
the only thing of its kind, so everybody was going there.
It was the hot spot. They would have bands, art shows, everything,
(48:02):
and so working there. In the beginning, We're making so
much money or popping off, like everything was great. We
were known for our martinis and our long island iced teas,
which is insane.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
We were known for our long Islands. It's such funny,
I know, because they.
Speaker 2 (48:16):
Were cheap and strong.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
They were good.
Speaker 2 (48:21):
They were good seven dollars, so it was great. After
a year, the clientele started to change up. It became
a little more ratchet. People weren't tipping as well. It
was just as busy, but we were making less money
because just at whatever. So one of those days a
(48:44):
year and I'm already kind of starting to get a
little jaded about some of these customers because we get
a lot of regulars. There's this huge DJ event. There's
like groups of people everywhere, and I'm going around, you know,
cocktailing and there's this woman or this group of girls
who are like ordering martinis and I go up to
them and she and she's like, can we get a
gro round of martinis? Whatever? So I go get the martinis.
(49:05):
I come back and I'm like, here you go. They're
all paying separately. One of the women. I go, okay,
thirteen twelve or whatever the prices and she hands me
fourteen dollars and I'm like, okay, thanks, like bye, and like,
when you're cocktai waitress, you don't give change like that.
You're not counting out eighty eight cents or whatever, the fuck.
You're just taking it and you're moving on monopoly, amen, exactly.
(49:28):
You're just moving on this and that.
Speaker 4 (49:30):
Right.
Speaker 2 (49:30):
And also I was just like cool, she didn't even
really tip me, Like whatever, dude, I'm just not going
to come back. There's so many other people I could
be serving. I could see her trying to make eye
contact with me all night, like oh, come back over here,
and I'm just like nope, nope, nope, Like you didn't
tip me. I kind of was like, you can go
up to the bar. I'm paying it to potential to
other people. Eventually I'm walking by her she like kind
of grabs my shoulder, not aggressively, but she's like, can
(49:53):
we order another drink or what? And I was like, okay, yeah,
do you do you? What do you guys want? And
she's like another round of martine And I'm like okay,
So I go get the martini's, I come back. I
pay everyone else out and I go to her and
I go, okay, it's thirteen sixteen. And she gives me
thirteen dollars and I'm like, it's thirteen sixteen. She's like, well,
you didn't give me my eighty cents last time when
(50:14):
I gave you fourteen dollars. This fucking chick and the
friends it's loud everybody and all the friends are like
looking at me like she's not wrong. And I was like, oh,
I'm sorry. Did you want me to take your cheap
ass eighty cent tip that wasn't even meant to tip
me to put it towards your next martini? Is that
(50:35):
what you would rather me? Do? You? Cheap ass?
Speaker 1 (50:39):
He said that?
Speaker 6 (50:40):
I said that.
Speaker 2 (50:41):
I said that, and the friends are like saw the
friends like, oh, because am I wrong?
Speaker 1 (50:51):
No, You're not wrong? No lies, no lies.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
And so she was like I'm I'm going to tell
the manager. I was like, go ahead, she's my best friend.
I walked away the rest of the day. But that's
kind of what it became. I was like, you want
to be ratchet fucking customers? That would be a ratchet
as server.
Speaker 3 (51:08):
Can I make one comment?
Speaker 5 (51:10):
This is how I know that it wasn't really a
slice of Brooklyn in Virginia, because if it was Park Slope,
they'd be like that eighty cents you must.
Speaker 3 (51:17):
Bring to me.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
It's crazy. I was like, but I love that job
because I could like. I was like, the customer is
not always right here. Granted it went under you had a.
Speaker 3 (51:29):
Slice of.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
That was probably the predicted end of that. We went
from bougie to ratchet to the waitress acting ratchet. The
only way to go was.
Speaker 3 (51:41):
These three quarters in a dime.
Speaker 2 (51:44):
E pennies.
Speaker 1 (51:46):
All right, folks were wrapping up on Aida for cheating
at an eating competition. So our local restaurant has really
good wings. They were hosting a hot pepper eating competition
with a bunch of coupons for free wings on the line.
I have a weird genetic quirk where my body doesn't
register Kepsius in the active ingredient in hot sauce normally,
(52:10):
so my spice tolerance levels are way higher than normal.
I entered the competition and won the coupons, but my
friends are telling me that I cheated and that I
should have let normal people compete and get the wings.
So ata for competing. The wings are so good.
Speaker 3 (52:27):
Though, normal normal?
Speaker 5 (52:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (52:29):
What are we talking about trans athletes here?
Speaker 1 (52:31):
What the.
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (52:36):
Man?
Speaker 5 (52:36):
Can you imagine if Chris Paul was like looking at
Shack and he was like, we should let normal basketball play.
Speaker 3 (52:41):
He's too big?
Speaker 1 (52:42):
I know, I actually agree with that. I think the
basketball should be all five foot eight men. I think
that would be That's interesting, that would be much more athletic.
Speaker 3 (52:50):
Yeah, you're right, that would be fun you're talking about Yeah,
same too.
Speaker 5 (52:55):
It doesn't need to be lower, same hoops, it's just
all Guatemalan national team rules.
Speaker 1 (53:02):
Well, so the top comment say is congrats you are
the Michael Phelps of chicken wings. If he wasn't cheating
by having a genetic advantage when it comes to swimming,
you weren't cheating by having a genetic advantge when it
comes to spicy food. Because Michael Phelps famously is like
what thirty eight percent dolphin? I think so, and he
has gills and stuff. I never I never really got
(53:24):
into that, you know, it's like moolool and I was like,
I don't I don't really care about the Olympic one
of the most gold medals of any Olympian.
Speaker 5 (53:31):
Yeah, yeah, I probably probably ever because of the way
that he won at a time where he was like
leaps and bounds ahead of a super internationalized sport. Usually
to have that big of a competitive advantage, it has
to be like women's soccer in America, which is like
forty years ahead of the rest of the world. He
was just a fucking freak. Yeah, and he was so
(53:53):
good during the medley in two thousand. I'm a swimmer.
That's why I know this bullshit.
Speaker 3 (53:56):
I want to know that.
Speaker 1 (53:57):
Yeah, it was so weird, dude, you're a weird guy
with unexpected days.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
Let's swim.
Speaker 5 (54:03):
In the two thousand and eight Beijing Olympics, he got
such a fucking ginormous lead that the last guy in
there medley, who was fourth and was like one of
the slowest swimmers in the Olympics. Yeah, they were still
able to win, Like you know, a full arm length
ahead of everybody else because the fucking bonus it helps
had given them.
Speaker 1 (54:21):
Yeah wow, and he also swam the dirty Matt got saved.
Matt is going to fuck us. No, dude, I can.
I can competiate get them begin with, because he's really fine. Yeah,
he's like, who wants to ride? But I don't really
believe the Olympics are sports. Hot take whoa not a sport?
(54:42):
A sport you have to directly compete, thank you. You
have to directly compete with somebody else. Golf not a sport.
It's competition.
Speaker 2 (54:49):
Well, yeah, I would say the Olympics is composed composed
of sports.
Speaker 5 (54:54):
There's some sport, some sports, basketball, sports competitions.
Speaker 1 (54:57):
Football is a sport.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
There are there are a let it competition.
Speaker 1 (55:00):
Swimming is not a sport. You're against other people, No,
but they don't impact you.
Speaker 2 (55:05):
They do because you have to rank in timing.
Speaker 1 (55:08):
No, it's not to be faster than your people.
Speaker 3 (55:10):
Being faster than you can't slow you down, exactly can't.
Speaker 2 (55:14):
But it can to a degree when you're swimming in
a pool with people other people swimming. Is it's easier
to swim in a pool by yourself than with other
people the lanes.
Speaker 3 (55:23):
The lanes separate all they have dividers.
Speaker 1 (55:25):
That's why I think in the next Olympics everybody should
have water guns. And then you have to balance. Are
you going to shoot? Are you going to swim? It's
more of a game, it's more of a gang.
Speaker 2 (55:33):
I see.
Speaker 5 (55:34):
I was talking to my friend a few weeks ago
and she was like, did you know water polo is
not on horses. I was like, yes, I knew that
wouldn't get awesome. You think they drowned the horse. Dude,
horses and water seed, that's a sport.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
She's like, I want to see Michael Foolos on horse
and I figured water.
Speaker 3 (55:52):
Polo is like water polo is like fighting a water
horse horse. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (55:57):
Yeah, my dad, but one of my dad like, you know,
you know what that part when you're a kid, where
do you think your dad is like God or Superman?
Speaker 3 (56:04):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (56:05):
And my dad would always be like, do not splash me,
I will fuck like he would just like be really
threatening and then he just knew how to like splash.
I don't I don't know how good he was at
splashing because I was like probably seven, so he seemed
like motherfucking Poseidon drowning me.
Speaker 3 (56:20):
You know, if you splash me, I'm gonna drown you.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
Literally, he would give you one warning. He'd be like,
don't fuck with me, and then forget it. You're drowning.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
That's funny.
Speaker 1 (56:31):
But yeah, so what what is a sport if you
can cheat with your jeans? Really? And that's why the
basketball should be five and eight because that's more of
a sport.
Speaker 2 (56:43):
But it is. No, it's more of a funes So
this okay, I wrote that. I was going to say
this story. When I was in high school, I'm the
queen of Limbo.
Speaker 1 (56:54):
The limbo vote backwards, backwards under a beam, got it?
Speaker 2 (56:59):
Limbo Limbo?
Speaker 1 (57:00):
I is that song?
Speaker 2 (57:03):
Yeah, you can do any song, but that's the one.
So in high school, we would have packed I'm old.
Speaker 1 (57:08):
I'm talent, you love it. She lives to me, lives
herr motivation Me and Rod dude do crystal mess.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
You can limbo that. It's a little part of the
Herder rhythm. So we used to competition, used to kill
it win all the time.
Speaker 1 (57:27):
You would win. Yes, is because you're flexible.
Speaker 2 (57:30):
Yes, yes, and strong core. So like I can go
down the lowest bar right my senior year, they do
the assembly. It's like in front of all the grades,
everyone's coming down participating. Carmen decides to participate. Carmon is
four to ten.
Speaker 3 (57:49):
Oh my god, wow.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
You did did did it? Did it? Suddenly it's just
Carmen and I. Yeah, the same where the fine fucking limboers.
And then of course the fucking bar is like basically
halfway up my thigh, a little above my knee. That's
how low we're going.
Speaker 1 (58:11):
Yeah, because she's tiny, and.
Speaker 2 (58:13):
I fall, and then Carmen wins, and I was I
kind of was like, feels a little like she's cheating
being full ten. But then I was also like, honestly,
I get to be tall my whole life. I'm gonna
take this loss.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
Yeah, and Carmen said, who is the best?
Speaker 3 (58:28):
Now, Carla, put me down, put me down, put me down.
Speaker 2 (58:34):
So heightus what is it called est?
Speaker 6 (58:38):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (58:39):
And I'm really sorry to all my five ft eight
I know.
Speaker 2 (58:41):
You were just begging your five ft eight Basketball's not funny.
Speaker 1 (58:45):
It's really not funny.
Speaker 2 (58:47):
Five eight, perfect height, four to ten, fuck them short,
that's really short.
Speaker 1 (58:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (58:52):
She has like a placard a handicapped placard because she's like, no, she.
Speaker 1 (58:55):
Gets a decal for that under a disability Yes, why
how does that affect?
Speaker 2 (59:03):
But it's not a cheat code.
Speaker 1 (59:05):
I wonder then, like, so scaling for mountains, here's the
reverse of this. So for me to climb Mount Everest,
that's like a four foot ten person doing the allsioned
park here. You know, it's like a mile hike. Okay,
that was bad.
Speaker 3 (59:22):
That was bad.
Speaker 1 (59:23):
Everybody is at unfair or is that just it is
what it is?
Speaker 2 (59:28):
It feels going against a two years.
Speaker 3 (59:31):
I think the only thing is that it feels unfair.
Speaker 5 (59:33):
It's not unfair necessarily because, like you said, she's got
to live her life that way, you get to live
your life taller. Same for this cap station guy. Yeah,
he literally cannot enjoy Dave's hot chicken. To him, He's like,
this is just dance chicken.
Speaker 1 (59:44):
He doesn't get that it's hot.
Speaker 2 (59:45):
But this is also the classic counting cards, right, people
who don't count cards but have like the mental ability
to kind of be counting cards. But they're not like cheating,
they're just savants. But then they'll know you're cheating. It's like, no,
I'm just a genius.
Speaker 1 (59:58):
Well that's confusing because it's cheating a against the house,
but we all want to beat the house.
Speaker 2 (01:00:01):
It's cheating if you have a natural inclinations, not cheating.
Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
It's actually not even cheating. The House doesn't want you
to win.
Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
That in Vegas cheats by the way, the House cheateat
because they're all private, non publicly traded companies.
Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
No, they're publicly traded, some very few of them. That's
why they're allowed to bounce you because and ban you.
I don't think that's not privately banned. Well, this is
what like gamblers say that you can be privately banned
from any entity. That's like again, only has private rules
house rules basically, but public entities or whatever are it's
much it's a more difficult thing.
Speaker 1 (01:00:33):
To personally ban you.
Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
That's what I don't give it to you. I don't
know for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
I just you know that actually we should go to
a call. Have you ever been to California Becauseino I
just read about this in California. It's super fucking weird.
You don't play against the house, you play against a
weird third party and they just charge you per hand.
What Yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (01:00:50):
Yeah, I'm talking about in commerce, not like Marongo. Well
it's like a weird worker out.
Speaker 5 (01:00:55):
Yeah yeah, yeah, because I have been to the commerce
doesn't have any slot machines, right, It's like, yeah, it's
basically just Asian like table games. I'm not even joking.
I don't know where when the one I went to.
Maybe it's a conversation, maybe it's the other. But I
feel like all of the advertising was in Korean. Most
of the guys there were Korean, and some of the
waiters and dealers were Chinese, and they were like, we
(01:01:16):
know how to speaker in because I was.
Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
Like background, yeah, he's like what we did. What we
don't know? Is that a big Spanish like, we don't
see those guys that.
Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
But Rainman is a cheaters, I were saying, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Raymon is definitely a cheater. That's because its Dustin Hoffman.
Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
I think, you know, because that's the thing with sports.
You know, what's better for a man to be a podcaster?
Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
That's a proud definitely, definitely all but at a podcast.
Definitely we need more male podcast If Rainman was a podcasters,
I gotta be a seven. I got I got a podcast.
Charlie Babbitt, he's like lists all the dates. Yeah, all
the dates that are prime.
Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
Or some ship. But yeah, I mean, this isn't cheating.
But here's the thing. If I was doing this, I
mean I might go pro bro, you know what I mean,
like go because what about what's his name, Joey Truestnut
the hot dog liquor. He's inhaling hot dogs and is
that because he has a giant hot dog belly?
Speaker 3 (01:02:15):
No, he changed the game. He like dip started dipping
them in water.
Speaker 1 (01:02:19):
But surely everybody copied that, and he still copied that,
but he had the advantage you started doing it.
Speaker 3 (01:02:23):
So that's so gross discussed.
Speaker 2 (01:02:25):
That's not like a condition that he had that allowed him.
That was a wet mouth a bunch of wet hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (01:02:34):
I'd like, now, don't say wet hot dogs in my home.
Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
But the other thing is, regardless of the amount of
hot wings, he could eat all of the hot wings
and still not win if he gets full and doesn't
have the capacity to eat as many as somebody else
who can suffer through them.
Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
Well it actually this is tricky. This is a tricky nuance.
It was a hot pepper eating competition.
Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
And you got coupons, so It wasn't about getting filled up.
It was about one specific keeping.
Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
Something these peppers, not reaching for the leche when you're
eating a.
Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
So how kep cisn works is it makes your brain
think you're on fire, and so then you get indorphins.
And when you're a drug addict like me, good, you
feel good, and so you do it. And I actually
had a really bad phase with Sonora Town, which is
a burrito place here that has fucking amazing hot sauce.
Because here's the thing, roll.
Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Look co Ford a reaper.
Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
It's a million Schoolville units. Yeah, and that'll burn your
fucking face sauce. It's not good. You want like one
hundred fifty God, I'm sweating just thinking about this one
hundred and fifty thousand, and then you keep eating it
and then you get a fucking you get ripped off
that ship. And honestly, these burritos are probably like three
thousand calories. And so what I did was because I
kept getting these burritos once a week, and I was
(01:03:46):
turning into a little porker boy, so I would I
just got the hot sauce, and then I ate only
that hot sauce for like two weeks and I killed
my addiction. Finally I'm still guys, I'm literally sweating. That's
fun going through it. I'm salivating and sweating.
Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
Thick part of me was trying really hard not to
be like it's a Carolina Reaper and on a California
I got into spicy food like six months ago. Like no,
maybe maybe maybe a few years ago, but like most
of my life, Eastern Europe is like, we don't have
nothing spicy. The spiciest ship we have is garlic that
I'm not even and we kind of got like crazy
(01:04:21):
spicy peppers like after the nineties. Yeah, I watched people
in my country get into spice and they were like, ne,
never mind, it's too much.
Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
Just it's better to be sour.
Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
I feel like this isn't really a thing. It's better
to be sour.
Speaker 3 (01:04:36):
What this guy no hot pepper?
Speaker 1 (01:04:38):
No, I believe him. Hot pepper eating it's usually like
stomach because like that has a hard limit, you know
what I mean, Like you're not.
Speaker 3 (01:04:46):
So I've seen like there are competition.
Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
I mean I've definitely like red growing up in Texas
about like pepper eating competitions where guys are like this
is like again from like the eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
They're just trying not to reach for the milk.
Speaker 1 (01:04:57):
You know.
Speaker 3 (01:04:58):
It's like you see how many of.
Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
The fuckingjlapenos or whatever you can eat before going for
the milk.
Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
And it's like a Mexican tradition.
Speaker 5 (01:05:05):
It's not even like just something or maybe it's something
everyone does when you're just bored and passing the time.
Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
Peppers around. But I've seen it peppers around.
Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
I've seen it stylized, I've seen it in like in stories,
I've seen it in TV shows.
Speaker 2 (01:05:17):
Okay, I was punished with spice, and I think that's
partially why I have a spice addiction. Because in Puerto
Rican households, they would have beke, which is like peppers
and jars that they soak it in uh vinegar, vinegar,
and they put them on top of the fridges and
if you swear you say anything disrespectful, instead of soap,
which is what a lot of white people do.
Speaker 3 (01:05:38):
They's true that.
Speaker 5 (01:05:40):
Of sucking on your thumb, they put a little you know,
on the Yeah, you don't keep sucking.
Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Okay, bad I've heard of, but have you ever actually
met a person who had to eat the soap? I
feel like it's a cartoon trope or something.
Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
I feel like I've known people who have said that
they've seen it or had it done to them, but
I've I can't say i've seen it.
Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
I've never seen it in person.
Speaker 5 (01:05:59):
I've always thought I've I've heard about all the like
smoke the whole pack or with the bell, I've heard
all that, and I've always I wish I knew about
that when I was younger, Like when my parents were like,
ll right, we're gonna make you smoke the whole pack,
I'm like, or what I'm gonna tell strangers you made
me smoke a package?
Speaker 3 (01:06:15):
I was like, if you don't smoke the whole pack,
I'll tell you one of you molested me. How about that?
Ready for a punishment, you dumb shit? Get the soap out.
I was a child fear it was tough. It was
to parents.
Speaker 1 (01:06:30):
I don't think this is cheating.
Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
I don't think it's cheating you.
Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
And I think, look, I was thinking about it. You know,
could you fly across the country and win these things
all the time, and yeah, you could be a lot
of chicken wings, you.
