Speaker 1 (00:58):
Um, uh, they almost look like a ai generated second
time somebody told me I was aithis week.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
That means I'm perfect with a flaw.
So I ordered these sunglasses amonth ago because we had a
wedding to go to last weekendand the glasses were local.
So this is the new Timu-likething they tell you that they're
local, which means that they'realready in the US.
You don't have to wait for theoverseas shipping, you don't

(01:33):
have to pay the tariffs, they'relocal.
So three days before thewedding, it said that my glasses
were in Pittsburgh.
These were going to be perfectfor the dress that I wore were
in Pittsburgh.
These were going to be perfectfor the dress that I wore.
And then come to find out theday of the wedding somehow my
glasses, which originated fromCalifornia, were back in

(01:54):
California.
So they showed up today and Ilove them.
I don't want to take them off.
But I'm also mad because theyweren't here for the wedding.
They would have been perfectAnyways.
Because they weren't here forthe wedding, they would have
been perfect Anyways, that's mystory and I'm sticking to it.

yourself.
Lady Lisa, I'll love you to theend of time.
Who are you talking to?
Nobody?
No, but you talking to Nobody?
No, but I used to watch it inthe morning.
I remember watching it like inthe mornings it was on for some

(03:33):
reason on USA, when they werelike playing it or whatever that
was called back then.
I think it was USA.
The USA station was around backthen, yeah, yeah, it's like one
of the original OG cablestations.
It's like TBS.
You know what I mean.
Tbs has been around forever too, and TNT it's the original OG.

(03:57):
It's like the NFL when theytalk about the, the original,
how many ever teams?
Are there Like the original 12or they do that in hockey.
There's like the original eightor whatever.
Whatever it is, I don't knowthe numbers, but Were the

(04:17):
Philadelphia Steagals theoriginals.
Steagals?
Yeah, no, because remember theydid that because of the war, so
they just combined them, sothey were already the steelers
and the eagles okay and thenthey uh just combined for that
like one I don't know, with ayear, whatever it was the

(04:40):
stegals speaking of the steelers, we got some Steelers news last
week.
Did we?

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Didn't we.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Oh, aaron Rogers, I feel like that was weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I know time is both standing still and moving
quickly, so we have not recorded.
Since April it's been a whileand I like it I think we are
going to take a two-month breakevery year, to just kind of cool
our dead.
Yeah, yeah, I like it.
It has been two months and Ilike having that two-month break

(05:20):
.
It felt like I was able to Idon't know do some mini projects
around the house.
Well, we did.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I mean we were doing some big comedy shows.
We were putting on a comedyshow, a couple different ones,
we had a lot going on plus, letalone the fact that we were
getting ready to move toNashville.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Yeah, we were getting ready to move to Nashville, so
much so that I had my hair andmakeup room half packed Like.
All that's sitting out rightnow is the stuff that I use
daily and take with me to travel.
I have all my stuff boxed upbecause we were moving to
Nashville.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
And then not only that, but like we had a list of
play in Nashville.
And then not only that, butlike we had a list of places.
We were driving around lookingat places, like legitimately,
not just browsing on theinternet we were down there
boots on the ground.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
And we found some very, very lovely homes in like
Mount Juliet area, which I justlove that area.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah, we were all about it.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I'm not saying we were stalking Nate Bargetti, but
I mean.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
I mean more Dusty Slay, but yeah, exactly.
We were going to get him at thebread store, the bakery.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
We were going to stalk him at the bakery we were
going to get him, get him, butanyway.
So, yeah, let me back.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Go ahead, I mean get him, but anyway, um.
So yeah, let me go ahead.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
I mean, well, no, let's back up a minute because,
um, some people know that thisis coming and I want to do it
real flashy.
But let's back up, because thelast couple things that we
talked about on the last show Ifeel like were forever ago and
we haven't done anything withany of that.
So the last show we talkedabout Galena Truffle, who is on
Facebook.
Her father may or may not bethe Zodiac Killer.

(07:09):
I'm going to do a deep dive onthat.
I keep saying that, but I haveto like, just really get into it
, and now I think I'm set up todo that.
You don't think he is?

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I don't think he is.
I mean, I'm all about listeningto it and going down, but it's
just.
I've been down this rabbit holebefore.
The Zode, the Zode, I love it.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So we haven't looked at that.
We started talking aboutTreasure Hunting.
We watched that Forrest Fenndocumentary.
I am still convinced thatForrest Fenn is probably DB
Cooper, but I don't want tobother his family.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
We have not looked dove that either.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
No, we didn't buy the book, but that could be.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I do think that.
I do think that.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
There's a new treasure out there somewhere
waiting to be found, and wehaven't even bought the book.
Meanwhile, your brother is likenine steps ahead of us.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
And there's already another.
There's another big treasure.
I talked to you about that.
I didn't even know about beforethat.
There's a whole nother thing.
There's people out there justdoing these treasure things, man
, and it's good treasure, buddy.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
What's it?
My brother put up a really cuteFacebook post today and I it
just like.
It hit me in my heart.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
It was so true, you're never too old to.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Look on the backs.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Look on the back of old pictures.
What was it?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, you're never too old to look on the back of
old pictures for treasure maps.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Oh, okay, I can't remember if it was pictures or
paintings, paintings, paintings,paintings.
Have you seen my painting?
Did Tommy tell you about mypainting?

Speaker 2 (08:56):
I love it.
So yeah, so we haven't doneanything with that because
literally like right after werecorded the show, we had the
comedy farms um anniversary showout in Altoona.
Um, we had all the wrong movesum, and then, yeah, that was so

(09:18):
fun.
G dubs that is my home girl.
I love her.
She's doing so many things outof Ohio way.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
I saw a comedy flyer of hers where they had it
incorrectly listed.
They had her as GN Will.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Oh my God, Gain Will, that's one of my vendors,
that's hilarious.
No, but speaking of pictures,she had another picture up where
, um, it was like an old pictureof her sitting on a stool like
doing comedy, and then a newerpicture and in both pictures
she's sitting like spreading yougo like this.
And she's like I must have afavorite pose.

(09:55):
And I was like, I was like tellme that you, uh, put your foot
out the window when you're in acar, cause you could just tell
that she's that, you could justtell.
And she's like girl, I put myfoot out the window when I'm
driving.
And I was like we are sisters,so do I?
I never drive anymore, but whenI used to, when I used to drive
at the beach, I always had myfoot out the window.

(10:16):
That's insanity and illegal.
But who cares?
Whatever, right, it's fun, it'scomfortable.
Cruising down the boulevardwatching people on the beach
with your foot out the windowlevels, it's fun.
But anyways, love me someG-dubs If you guys are in Ohio,

I went to the secret bathroom through the secret
chambers.
Yeah, I saw some secrets is allI'm going to say.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
All I'm saying is many a back room deal was made
in that Masonic temple.
That's what I can say.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Many a deal was made in that room where the green

I can see them in there withbig old cigars making back room
deals.

Table and tap room, that backroom venue, if you want

I mean just the brick with theblack, it's so gorgeous you have
to get in there to see it.
It's a great event space andBobby and his wife, the owners,
I mean they rocked it out.
They rocked it out.

(13:17):
It was a little busy and peoplewere waiting, but once I get a
kitchen in there, what?

Yes, get me.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yes, get steaks and stuff.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Get out of there.
I'm a huge fan of theircharcuterie board.
Though it's pretty, I like it.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
But yeah, no, it went so well, it was perfect.
The second night at SouthMountain not so perfect, it did
not turn out the way we wanted.
I mean it was a great show.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
it was fun.
I had way more fun saturdaynight.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
It was fun, but it would have been just a little
bit better with like 10 morepeople agree, agree, but we did
not throw in the towel.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
We are doing it again , like there we oh yeah that was
our first event and there werealways hitches in events, but I
think that it went fairly darnsmoothly for our first big show.
Again, we partnered withsomeone, so we didn't have to do
all the heavy lifting One nightone.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, I like that sound system.
I will say that it was.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Shout out Yamaha.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yamaha.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Oh, you don't have Yamaha.
What do you have?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Wait, is it?

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:36):
Oh, okay.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
I looked at so many, do you?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
I spent three days looking at it.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
A couple things I learned about booking shows is
that I don't even know if Ilearned anything.
I mean, we've done like.
I used to be a wedding DJ.
I've done wedding events.
I've done big events before,just not my own.
I've catered before I'vebartended Whoa, just not my own.
I've catered before I'vebartended Whoa.

(15:07):
What's that face?
You're not even drinking beer,I'm ticking.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Don't mind me.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Oh, sorry, I didn't know.
I thought you were makingbitter beer face.
That's different.
So yeah, if you have a bunch ofyoung single comics with you,
make sure that there's plenty ofsingle girls in the crowd.
Saturday night at SouthMountain could have gone really,
really, really badly.
It's a different crowd at SouthMountain and we love them and

(15:36):
we're used to them.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
What do you mean?
It could have gone badly.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
One of the comics was about to get beat up by one of
the husbands back there in thegambling no, nobody was gonna
get beat up no, he wasn't, butum, I had to go intervene and so
did you, but you made it worse.
You don't remember?
You were a little tipsy no, Ido remember, but I'm just saying
it wasn't that bad brad theowner of South Mountain was

(16:07):
probably the first time thatI've ever seen him past 8
o'clock in his own establishment.
Now don't get me twisted.
That man works his butt off.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
He's there every day.
She's not saying that, he'sjust usually out.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
But he usually dips out before the crazy stuff comes
on.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
That's why he's out, because he's there every day.
Wow, he don't want to be therethat late.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
But yeah, it was good , I where I'm definitely.
I definitely want to do anothershow at South mountain.
That was incredible.
I liked this.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
It'll be better.
We didn't know exactly what wehad to do, but now that I know,
I didn't want to like overpromote it.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Right, I didn't want to over-promote it Right Because
we thought that you weren'tgoing to be able to.
We didn't know how much we weregoing to be competing with the
regular crowd.
But on a Saturday night, theregular crowd, they're kind of
ebbs and flows.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
You're not really overshadowed, Right right, right
, so yeah, so no, Next timeit'll be fun, it'll be great.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, it was really fun and we made, you know,
obviously we made some greatconnections and and I just it's
fun doing that shit.
I can't say how much fun it is.
It's fun, but I don't have todo anything other than show up
and look cute, so and, andsometimes I get to be the God
voice, if you guys let me.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
But other than that, and we left on that note.
That was supposed to be thehigh note of before we left for
Nashville.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Us leaving.
Yeah, it was supposed to be.
And then Well, I do want toshout out too, that we were
supposed to do an open.
Hold on, because I want toshout out that we were supposed
to do an open mic that Sundaywith Sasquatch back at Triggers.
We backed out of it.
That's on us.
We were exhausted.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
I will say that it was an exhausting and we both
got sick and it was yeah, it wasnot a good it was not a good
look, but um, but it was an openmic.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
I'm sure the guys did good.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
They had a good yeah, they handled it like prez they
didn't need us.
We've never had to back out ofanything before, and it was.
But regardless of any of that,but yeah, back to, so to, so
we're getting.
We're back to Nashville.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, let's set it up .
So we're road tripping right,we drive everywhere.
Because I have never flown andit seems like a whole thing.
I'm not afraid to fly, I just Idon't like the stuff that goes
with it.
So we drove to Nashville it'slike what eight hours tops nine,
and it was mothers and, um, itwas mother's.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
No, it's not.
It's like 10.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Okay, 12 was stops.
But so we we were almost there.
We were like 90 minutes awayfrom being at the hotel and it
was mother's day.
And if you guys are followingthe show, you know that I have
two daughters.
My middle daughter,unfortunately, is an addict.
She's been in Baltimore formany, many years doing this

(18:52):
homeless addict life thing and Isay it so contritely because
I've been through this.
If you've been throughaddiction with somebody that you
love, you know that there'snothing you can do addiction
with somebody that you love.
You know that there's nothingyou can do fit like if I could
physically pick her up and Imean, yeah, but it's not like
that all hasn't been done.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Is the point like you've been down all those roads
?
I mean that's like we're waypast that, yeah right, that's
exactly it.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
We've done the trips to to dailies to get the
Suboxone and we've done therehab and she's done rehabs
outside of us.
So, like you know again, ifyou've been there with an addict
, and then our youngest daughteris very, very, very liberal and
going through the whole Gen Zwhatever that is, that they're

(19:43):
going through identity crisis.
And so she disowned us when shefound out that we voted for
Trump.
And so Mother's Day for me wasit was cranky, like we were on
our way to Nashville.
I was so excited, but theunderlying tone for me was
emotional.
I'm 50.
I'm going through menopause.
I'm cranky all the time, plusI'm crazy.

(20:05):
To begin with I was emotional,but we were road tripping.
Get a text from my daughter andshe's like happy mother's day.
I've been trying to get intouch with you.
I have so much to tell, and sheproceeds to send me a string of

(20:25):
text, videos, pictures.
Surprise your grandparents,it's a boy, so do you have
anything to say?
Do you have any filler for thatone?
Do you have anything to say?

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Do you have any filler for that one Give?

Speaker 2 (20:51):
me back, my grandson.
You dirty Baltimore kidnappers.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
So yeah, I mean unfortunately, because she is an
addict CPS stepped in and tookthe baby.
And we found out after the factyeah, yeah, it would have been
easier, had we known prior, likethe baby could have just been
like we could have just beenlike yeah, we're taking him yeah
, the baby was born in march.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
We didn't find out till may, so he was already a
couple weeks old when we foundout, um, so I went through.
You know the whole gambit ofemotions.
Um, I don't know how much ofthis everyone needs to know.
I'm an asshole.
I know that.
I called the caseworker andcalled her a cunt, like I was

(21:36):
really just angry.
You didn't say that Emotionally, yes, I did.
Oh, no, no, no.
I texted Olivia and told herher caseworker was gone, um, but
when I was talking to her, thefirst time you were mean.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
You were mean, but you were like you weren't.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
You didn't go like that far so, but she did end the
phone call and then we ended upum getting in touch with a
lawyer and the lawyeressentially told us, um, we have
to, you know, go through thesteps.
So we have to do it the waythat CPS has it set up.
There's no way to like goaround the system.
There's no specialcircumstances for grandparents.

(22:14):
Marilyn doesn't operate thatway.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Right Outside of the parents.
Everybody else is on equalfooting, so it doesn't matter.
You're Joe Blow, off the streetyeah joe blow?
Where did that start?
That's a good question, joeblow, who's joe blow?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
we I mean it's funny because this is like the third
time that we've actually usedthat exact phrase in this
podcast, because, remember Isaid the one time in a rap I I'm
Joe Blow from Nanny Glow.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
All right.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
We were talking about .

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Joe Blow from Nanny Glow.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
We were talking about the Beastie Boys.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Mm-hmm, it was like we were trying to remember the
third Beastie Boy Remember.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, but which one is it?
I don't know which one we weretrying to remember.
The third Beastie Boy Remember?
Yeah, but which one is it?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I don't know which one we were trying to remember.
Don't put me back on the spot.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I know, and I'll forget it again, there's Ad-Rock
Mike D.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
And D oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I'm having deja vu, stop it no, I am too, oh mca mca
, mca, that's how he says it inthe one song.

(23:45):
Yeah, but that's yeah.
Anyways, joe Blow.
So we're Joe Blow in thissituation, right, we have no
additional ground to stand onbecause we're the grandparents.
So it just is what it is, andthat doesn't sit well with me.
I'm a doer, I'm an actioner.
I can't sit on my hands and donothing.
So, long story short, we have agrandson.

(24:10):
He is three months old thisweekend.
I'm not going to say it'sgovernment out loud, because I
don't want anybody finding outanything about him.
Plus, his dad is probably notthe best person and he's a
junior, and I'm really mad aboutthat, because you shouldn't
name somebody after somebodywho's like him.
But and I'm making a lot ofassumptions but when I say like

(24:32):
him, he is older than mydaughter and he's older than me,
and he let his baby be born toan addict and let that baby be
put into the system.
So to me, regardless of whetheror not he's a criminal which
I'm making assumptions based offof his criminal record he's a
57-year-old pimp.
Yeah, no, 52.
He's only two years older thanme.

(24:53):
That ain't true.
He's a 57-year-old pimp.
So what?
No, I just why are you doing it?
Because I fucking hate him.
I hate him and I don't evenknow him, and you know before.
Like it's funny, because the waythat I talk sometimes, because

(25:15):
I'm so frank about my feelings,people sometimes tend to think
that I'm a racist.
It's so funny, though, becauseI automatically jumped to the
time where one of her previousboyfriends was Black, and I did
not care about that.
He was fucking Muslim and I,being the accommodating white,

(25:40):
guilt-ridden mom that I am, wenton this whole thing trying to
figure out what to make fordinner, because fucking
everything that I love to cookhas pork in it.
So if I was racist or a fuckingtotal asshole, I wouldn't even
have tried to accommodate thatmotherfucker.
He ended up being a shit losertoo, but at the end of the day,

(26:00):
it's not about that.
It's about it's about being aproductive member of society.
You're either productive oryou're draining, and I like
people who are productive, notdraining, period I mean we're

(26:21):
getting way off track here.
Um, because I'm trying todiscredit all the racist
bullshit.
I do not like this man becausehe's a fucking pimp.
You don't know what I say onsocials.
That gets me backlash.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
But that doesn't count.
I only care about what realpeople think.
So we're doing it, we're doingit oh yeah, yeah, so we got to
go through this, but anywaywe're going to, we're doing it.
Oh yeah, yeah, so we got it, sowe got to go through this, but
anyway, we're gonna go see himhere soon and um not wait, I did
that'll be.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
I did want to give the update, though, because I
did talk to the caseworkeryesterday and, um, she said that
he is out of the woods as faras being like having any
symptoms of being born addicted.
He's clear from all that now.
So he is doing good health wiseand he's gaining weight.
So I thought five pounds andlike he was almost six pounds

(27:16):
when he was born, which isactually really healthy weight
for a baby who was born addicted.
She said he's gaining a lot ofweight, so he is going to be a
little chunker, but he lookslike my son.
So I've been referring to himas bubs when I talk about him,
because we call my son bubs.
They're not the same and Idon't want them to have the same

(27:38):
life, but he just looks so muchlike him that it's hard for me
not to call him that I don'tknow, but I cannot wait to go

(27:59):
see him.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
I'm like yeah, that'd be great.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
I didn't want to at first, like I was so afraid that
if I went to see him that Iwould have a nervous breakdown
because I'd have to leave himthere.
But now that it's like alreadynot scheduled, she has to call
us back and schedule it Rightright, right right.
Now that I know kind of what.
It's funny because I hate thisshow and we've talked about it
before the rehearsal.
Hate this show and we've talkedabout it before the rehearsal.

(28:27):
But now that she's stepped methrough the process and I was
willing to listen to her and notbe shut down, it's like the
rehearsal.
Now I'm no longer I.
I don't have anxiety aboutseeing them, I don't have
anxiety about the process.
For me because of my tiz, it'slike I have to know the process
or I will have a panic attack.
Right, even if everything issupposed to be good, I'll still
have a panic attack because Idon't know what to expect.

(28:49):
Now that she's kind of given me, set the expectation, I'm good,
I can't wait.
I cannot wait to go see him.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
I'm like um uh, shnikes, what was I going to say
?
It's going to really bother menow till I remember it.
It'll come back to me.
It'll come back to me, um, butyeah, so that that all happened
while we were gone and now we'reback and we're better than ever

(29:18):
and we're getting back at it,and so let's talk about it.
Let's um.
First off, um well.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
So let me preface this by saying that, because we
knew we were moving, we didn'tdo any planning for like booking
shows.
We started pulling back fromopen mics.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
So your comedy and recording the podcast.
Like all of that, we we didn'thave any trips planned.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Like all that we didn't have anything planned we
were saying no to like, like thethings that were going on
coming up like, so yeah, wedidn't have anything planned, so
we uh.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
But yeah, now we're getting back in the swing of
things, we got plans, we gotstuff coming up, so, yeah, no,
it's good.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Um, I just want to talk about first off, I want to
talk about the cookie table atthe wedding we were just at,
because everybody was talkingabout your video if you have
never been to a pennsylvaniawedding, there is one tradition
that we all look forward to, atleast in the western half of the
state, and that is the cookietable.

(30:27):
Look at this beautiful setup,all handcrafted with love for my
little cousin's wedding.
Look at these.
These are my favorites.
They are called Italian Peachesand babe's favorite, the cream
wafer.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
And the cookies were all so good.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
So I found out after the fact that my girlfriend la I
call her lala her name's lauralee, but I yeah, I saw that so
my girlfriend lala, who I justshe I get such a kick out of her
facebook posts.
She's a total nature nerd.
Everything she posts is aboutnature, she's all.
She has the best pictures.
But it was her aunt that madethe cookie table.

(31:13):
So shout out Tammy Rigby, Idon't know your last name.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Those cookies, though , were just like the ones that
mom makes.
Those ones, they were spot on.
They tasted just like the onesthat mom makes.
Come to find out.
Let me tell you this when Itext mom a picture of that, you
know, at the wedding, you this.
When I I texted mom a picturethat, you know, at the wedding,
you know when I'm like, yeah, Iwas like, look what they have

(31:40):
here, because you know you don'tsee them a lot.
Um, even she hates making thembecause they're such a pain in
the ass, but, um, when ang wasin, she made a whole bunch of
them, and they ate them all.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
They didn't bring any to us.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
That's what I said.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I was like you could have brought a couple for a
comedy celebration.
Right, we were hungry Are youkidding me, man?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
I'd have been.
Ooh buddy, you make friendsquick with those things, man.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, yeah People love them People, those things,
man, yeah, yeah, people lovethem, people love them.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
They're addictive too .
They're so good it's gluttonous, because the amount of time
that it takes to make one youknow what I mean to make a small
batch and then they go likenobody's business.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
You pop one little cookie into your mouth and it
just melts instantaneously.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
The most maybe two all that butter, sugar and cream
flour, that's all it is butter,sugar, cream, flour.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
They are just, oh so good and I mean it just so again
shout out so that was the firsttime that we were ever at.
It's called the Willow.
It's a new venue at the airportin Johnstown, again, gorgeous
event space.
The outside space was beautiful, it was.

(33:06):
It was so nice that day.
I mean, plus, my cousin is justgorgeous, she's, so it's.
It's funny that I call them mycousins.
My, my cousins are all mychildren's age, not all of them.
Half my cousins are my age andolder and half of them are my
kids' age because of the waythat my grandma's family was.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Right, I mean, that happens sometimes.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
So, like my baby cousins are all getting married.
So they got married lastweekend and her brother is
getting married in september outin pittsburgh.
Now that's going to be an eventtoo, like the, the johnstown
one.
I mean, my family's weddingsare always spectacular, um, and

(33:47):
everybody always has an amazingtime, but um, and, and it was so
beautiful, like I said.
But pittsburgh is going to be adifferent vibe.
I'll be interested to see howmy family acts out in the big
city.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, it's going to be fun.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
And what day of the week is it?

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Saturday.

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Saturday I'm going to have to tonight.
I'm going to talk to Kantoabout it and be like I don't
know what you got going on thisweekend in the fall, but you
need to have a show that weekendso I can drag everybody to it.

Speaker 2 (34:18):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
So, uh, you know what I mean, That'll be fun.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Um, I think I can too .
He's filming.
Yeah, we're going out theretonight.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Yep, he's doing a little special tonight, that'll
be fun.
Doing a little special tonight,that'll be fun.
It's going to be always a goodtime out there.
Love going out there right inthe Strip District, that's
always fun.
He's a cool dude man.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I mean, he's a cool dude, that's all you can say
about him he's right by Rollins,my favoritist.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Right, oh yeah, I mean that's just an added bonus.
But yeah, no, I love what hehas going on there.
It's always fun.
But daggone it, I still amtrying real hard to think about
what I was going to say backearlier and I just cannot
remember.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
It's probably a joke about.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I think it was a joke .

Speaker 2 (35:10):
Raising our house?

Speaker 1 (35:13):
No, I don't think it was.
It wasn't anything related tothat.
No, it was a joke about raisinga kid, I feel like.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
But well, the joke's on me honestly, because my kid I
had, my kids were when I had mykids, when I was 18, 19 and and
23.
So I had my baby.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
You really set yourself up for failure.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
No, I set my kids up for failure honestly, and so
when I was older, when I finallywhen I, when I became an empty
nester, people who were juststarting to have babies in their
40s I would make fun of I mean,I still do to this day.
I was making fun of them, likemy boss, who I love, we're very

(36:00):
close.
He is my age and his kids arelike four and five or maybe six
and seven.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Just look, perfect example.
Well, it's my brother.
I don't know if I should saythat or not, but whatever, it
don't matter.
You know what I mean, because Idon't know who in the world.
You know whatever.
But yeah, it's my brotherbecause, like he's, you know

(36:31):
what I mean.
Getting he's, you know, just acouple years younger than me, so
, and he's they're getting readyto have their first kid, so,
which is awesome for us too, ifwe do get our kid, then they'll
be like the same age.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Yeah, look at.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Look at like other people we know, we know of a
particular family that, likeit's, they got like six
generations.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
They're going strong.
Oh, are you talking about myGettysburg people?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, of course I am, but I'm just saying, when
grandma was alive, you know whatI mean there was like it was
like so many different.
Yeah, you, you just keep whatstarted it like with your family
, like because, like yourgrandma had kids.
You all it takes is one personhaving kids over like, or
grandma fliggle like having kidsfrom like jeff to kevin's you

(37:31):
know what I mean.
There's like a 20 year gapthere or something.
You know what I mean?
Just like your girl.
No, but I'm saying that sets itup for situations like that,
where it's likemulti-generations that can be
the same age.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
Yeah, for sure, because my first, so Eric, my
oldest cousin, his daughter, wasborn in, I think, 92, maybe 91,
92.
And I was just graduating highschool.
And then here comes thisanother wave of kids and then my

(38:04):
uncles that were his agestarted having kids and we were
all having kids at the same timeor whatever.
So I love it, like I get mymom's family.
Like I said, they've alwaysbeen very close, as when we were
growing up.
They do like literallyeverything together, they take
trips together, they're very,very, very close and I've always
been kind of not the outsiderbecause of them, but like just

(38:27):
because I've always ran, livedother places and stuff.
But I love a good Miller familyfamily function.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
They are so fun yeah, so do I I, because well, I mean
, you know what I'm judging iton food, but uh, and they
definitely know what they'redoing in that department and, uh
, god bless them for that.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
So oh yeah, speaking of which thank you for reminding
me also a shout out to taste acountry, or I'm gonna have to
look it up.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
I think it's called player of country country flair,
flair of country, I think yeah,they.

Speaker 2 (39:03):
That's like the fourth catering event I've been
to.
Now they actually own thewillow, that's their event space
, but that they were doing justcatering and so my brother was
giving me the backstory.
So the son is the owner ofLamont Croco or whatever that
owns the Pike Inn the beststeaks in Johnstown.

(39:28):
He used to own.
Lamont out in 8th Ward and thenhe didn't do anything for a lot
of years.
And now he has the Pike Inn.
I don't know if it's stillcalled the Pike.
Do they still call that?

Speaker 1 (39:40):
I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
But anyways, always like hands down best steaks.
They're talking about them overhere at the Pike.
We have to go over and get one,but it's his son who is running
the catering business and whobought the willow his son who is
running the catering businessand who bought the willow.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Let's pause here, because here's a question is
what makes a great steak?
Because here's the thing islike I enjoy a good steak, but
like for me to separate, Like Idon't know if I've ever eaten a
steak anywhere, Even when wewere out at that place out in
Pittsburgh where I've just beenblown away by the steak.

(40:24):
I've made steak that I've beenblown away by, but I don't know
if I've ever eaten a steak outthat I'm like, oh my God, this
is the best steak I've ever ate.
No, I've said that aboutseveral of my own.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Agree, agree, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
So my question is is what makes a great steak?
And I mean, we'll find out ifthey're doing it there but what
makes it great?
What separates it from beinggood?
Because I've had plenty of good.
I'm not saying I've had bad,like I can't remember.
Yeah, I'm sure I've had badsticks, but I'm saying like I
can remember plenty of good oneswhere I'm like totally

(41:06):
satisfied with what I got, likeI'm not knocking what I got, I'm
not saying it was in any waybad, but what's what makes it
great?
What?

Speaker 2 (41:18):
are people saying I can tell you in my heart and
soul because you know I'm atexture person.
So the one thing that makes asteak stick out to me is that it
melts in your mouth, regardlessof how it's cooked.
No, I don't eat a well steak.
I eat a medium steak.
Um so medium should melt inyour mouth anyway, but it has to

(41:38):
melt in your mouth and it hasto have flavor, and I'm not
talking about like I just don'tknow.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
Um, I guess it's just one of those.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
I ate fan fried steaks all my life and I I can
honestly say that I and myparents used to buy T-bones all
the time, off the meat truck orwhatever.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
We ate T-bones like at least once a week.

Speaker 2 (42:13):
I can honestly say that I never feel.
I feel like I didn't actuallyhave a proper steak and I
thought my dad's steaks wereamazing until I had one on a
grill.
So I think it's.
It has to be the right grill,it has to be the right cut and
it has to melt in your mouth.
And just the right amount ofseasoning, like we used to pile
garlic powder on that fuckingsmothered the whole steak.

(42:34):
You just need a touch of salt,a touch of pepper and a touch of
something else, but I'm notsure what it is like the.
I like the steaks, the growmates right.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
No, I'm, I'm totally with you.
I'm just uh, it's uh.
Yeah, I'm excited to see to youknow me, it's like one of those
things.
I'm on a quest for Right and uh, it's just like.
But it goes hand in hand, likeI mean, there's plenty of things
that we've talked about.
This is not just steak, where,like, the best versions of that,

(43:05):
like I've I've made, like right.
Well, like pulled pork.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
You're pulled pork, hands down.
I cannot eat anybody else's, itdoesn't matter.
I don't know what you dodifferently.
I don't even like pork.
When you make pulled pork, Icannot get enough.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
I love it, I give it love.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I know.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
I touch it in ways that it probably shouldn't be.
It's not good.
I don't have brisket down likethat back up.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
You're doing what's for the meat now touching it.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Touching it, giving it love your brisket's good.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
I like it.
No, you don't.
It's inconsistent, but yourbest brisket is better than
anything that I've ever had.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
Nah, I've the.
I've the best briskets I'veever had I've had at other
places.
Now you're going to have thewhat.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
Burn tens.
The best burn times I've everhad was chubbies.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Hands down.
Oh, yeah, yeah, back in the day.
I don't want to speak to it nowbecause I don't know.
I don't even know what's goingon.

Speaker 2 (44:21):
Yeah, I don't know, what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
I don't like to talk about restaurants that far in
the past.
I mean a chain restaurant, sure, whatever, but like a local
place like that, because I can'tspeak to how it is now, because
I don't even like.
Is it the same owners?
Who knows Like?

Speaker 2 (44:38):
you don't even have answers because it was that long
ago, and you know what I?
Mean Like and James was thecook there for like 15 years.
He was like, and he leftshortly after I left.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
So yeah, Right, and that's exact and that and so I
mean Right and that's exact andthat and all that matters.
So it's like, yeah, I don'twant to say but at the time,
right, we're not promotingchubbies at all Cause we haven't
been there.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
Maybe they are, they might be great, we haven't been
there in over 12 years.
What all we're saying is thatat the time, they had the best
burnt ends we've ever had.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Right, right.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Right, but that's all I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
I'll tell you what he's doing.
I'm not vouching for it.
But it's, yeah, they werefantastic.
And I mean, we've eaten a lotof different barbecue.
Now again, we've never been to.
It's not like we've eatenbarbecue in Texas or anything
like that.
So it's not like we're sayingthis is like I'm not saying that

(45:42):
I'm not gonna have or havepulled pork or brisket.
That was better than like whatI've had at certain other places
or whatever you know.
But it's, you know, you canonly do with what you have had.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
So I can't even literally remember what happened
in Nashville.
I do remember the comedy.
Did we even eat anything goodout there that week?
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (46:11):
I don't even remember .
I don't remember either.
I knew, even remember, I don'tremember either.
I knew that one.
I got you chicken from thatplace that was next to the Cobra
.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
That was good.
Yeah, yeah, whatever thatchicken spot is next to the
Cobra.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah, I don't know what it was called.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
That was good chicken .

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Something, fried chicken or something like that.
What else did we?
Did we?
We went to a chicken place,didn't we?

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Oh, yeah, that hot chicken place that was.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
What was it called though?

Speaker 2 (46:57):
No, that was in.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Pittsburgh, that we went, that we went to that.
No, it wasn't.
We went to one down there,remember, because I looked and
I'm like I'm glad we went tothis one because it was real it
was good but what was it?
We're gonna have to come backto that because it couldn't have
been that good, because I don't, I don't remember.
No, it was good, it was um itwas good.

Speaker 2 (47:17):
It was real chill there too.
Remember, was it down in thegulch?
It was down in the gulchbecause we were getting ready to
go to the green light no Ishould have looked at all my
nashville receipts before, yeah,but here's the thing, but
here's.

Speaker 1 (47:34):
I don't remember what we ate on what day, other than
that night, the Cobra night,because it was there.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
But where did we go?
What did we do?
We weren't out there.
I know, because we weren't outthere for that we were literally
there to check in.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Yeah, I could tell you about the towns.
Yeah, I can tell you about someThornton's gas stations.
No, but what that I mean?
That's another thing, though.
That's like crazy, that like Ican't even remember that.
Like well that it was likeagain, we we weren't there to

(48:13):
tour, we were going to be livingdown there.
We didn't care.

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Right and not only that like we were both like had
an emotional blanket over ourbrains too, because we were
trying to not think about thebaby while we were down there
hanging out, because then it waslike we're doing all this stuff
to prepare to move there, butlike somewhere in the bottom of
our souls we knew that it wasn'tgoing to happen at this point,
because now we had somethingelse to do, so it was like we

(48:40):
weren't there to particularlyvacation and do the fun shit.
We did go to the zoo, thoughthat was that just lit up my,
that's a little.
Where else you're gonna?

Speaker 1 (48:51):
hang around with kangaroos.
I just can't believe they'redoing that.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
I'm not sure that's safe On the back and only pet
them on the back.
From behind you can touch himif you want.
Okay, you're okay, I didn'tknow he was.
Nah, he's doing his own thing,whatever he wants.

Speaker 1 (49:09):
Oh, he's currently, but it's awesome.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Get up one day and just start punching the shit out
of him.
I'm not sure it's safe.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
They were so chill.
You see, they expose them early.
They had the babies in there.
So it's like they just, they'rejust so chill with you.
No, that's why you can't besneaking up on them and quick,
I'm sure, like they'll get thewrong thing, they'll kick the
shit out of you.
Boy, I'm sure that they like.

(49:40):
But regardless of any of that,no, it was very cool um that was
fun.
The disco bathroom at the hopshop was amazing I'm gonna find
his name and we're going to putit across the thing.
But that guy that hosted thatmic that night, that did the

(50:00):
clacking thing that was one ofthe most awesome things I've
ever seen.

Speaker 2 (50:06):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
He took those things to a whole new level.
Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 (50:13):
He was a virtuoso on something that you shouldn't
even like, because, like who,you have to have really specific
movements to control, becausethe strings are so long that if
you don't move in it preciselythe string ripples, so it
doesn't you know what is that?

Speaker 1 (50:34):
took an immense amount of practice is what it
boils down to and the fact thathe can and you can tell that's
not the first time, because Imean that he's written something
like that he's learned to dothat because it's like the
things that he controlling itwith his voice and like giving
it different, you know, pitchesand stuff like it's like it's

(50:55):
one of those things like youdon't see that right, right.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
You don't see all the work that goes into being able
to do something like that,because he had to experiment
some too.
It's not like there's.
I mean, I'm sure there's videoson it, but not some of the shit
he was doing.

Speaker 1 (51:12):
I don't know that's what I'm saying.
Like I'm sure that I'm notsaying that he's the only person
that's obviously like.
You know what I mean, but likeit's like you do not meet.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
it's just not something you see people do or
be that good at like it was socool, that was it was so cool we
went to three open mics, orfour, um, but you didn't make it
into this the third one, thatwas the bucket pool at that.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
At Third Coast, yeah At.
Third Coast, but so the onethat you're talking about.
Where was that place called?
I don't know.
We're out to put it in thething.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
We'll give you a pop-up guys.
That's how our video?

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Yeah, because it was.
You asked me way too fast, buteither way, the venue was.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
It was right, was right.
Oh, the east room, wasn't itthe east room, the east room?
Yes, that was so fun, like Ijust.
The venue was amazing, it wasyeah, it was very cool so they
had a drummer and a keyboardplayer on stage the whole time
and it was just awesome, oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
It was fun, very fun, yeah, yeah, I liked that a lot.
It was very, very, very, verygood that was my favorite one
yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:32):
There's good comics in Nashville.
I'm not going to lie, but I cansay this because I'm not a
comic and you can't say itbecause you are Fucking.
Pittsburgh is hands down ahundred percent thousand.
I was floored by the differencebetween pittsburgh and
nashville.
Pittsburgh is a way better.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Open mic scene you know this is sounds totally
ridiculous, but I mean, out ofall the cities that we've been
to like doing stuff like they, Imean it does they have like the
toughest there's the most.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
There's more people that are better like at a
different level than there isthere's way more polished comics
in Pittsburgh doing open micsthan there are to every any
other open mic I've seen rightand we've been to them kind of
all over at this point not inthe country, but a lot, a lot of
different places.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
Yeah sure, um, we're gonna have to make a highlight
reel of me for you.
I'm sure I've done anotherepisode too, but I feel like my
mind's not working rightremembering things well, let me
see where we're at how manyminutes of recording 54 yeah, we

(53:47):
only got a couple more thingsum, I just want to say this, and
I'll say, I've said it once,I've said it twice, I'll say it
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,000 times,as much as it takes Salvatore's
Pizza is in Johnstown, is like,quickly climbing the ranks as

(54:16):
like my favorite pizza that I'veever eaten, like it's
definitely the best here, eatenlike it's definitely the best
here.
But there is like it is just.
I get more impressed every timeI go, and at this point, we're
going pretty regularly.

Speaker 2 (54:36):
um, well, but because I don't like pizza that much
and I only want like one sliceat this point now.
I used to be able to eat twoslices, now I can only eat one,
so I wanted to pack a punch.
I'm not gonna give up my oneslice of pizza that I can eat on
fucking dominoes.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
I can tell you that much right now I never would I
mean I'm still rocky's is stillmy favorite in kestrel, Because
they're still my favorite of alltime.
It just they get a little tickextra for nostalgia, but the
pizza is just as good, it sounds.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
But you got a sub this time which you hadn't
gotten before.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Yeah, I did get a sub the first time.
We got a hot Italian.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
This time I got a cold Italian and the bread, oh,
the bread is phenomenal.
The bread is phenomenal.
I said yesterday it's so ofcourse, and I've said this once,
twice, three times a sandwich.
But the, of course.

(55:42):
You know Romeo's in Waynesboroback in the day I talk about it
the best sub of all time.
You couldn't even I don't evencall it a sub, because it was a
different experience they hadtheir own thing, but the hoagies
at Sal's are the closest thatI've had.

(56:04):
And I say close loosely, it'snot that close, but it's the
closest that I've had.
So it's all relative.
You know what I'm saying.
It's the closest that I've had.
It's not like it's an exactcopy or just a smidge off.
It's not that, but it's theclosest that I've had.

(56:24):
So we'll leave it at that.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Smidge, smidge smidge .
Oh, what was that movie that wewanted to check out coming out
Weapon?

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Weapons.
That does look good, oh yeah,cause we.
It's like drive-in seasonaround here, so it is.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
We did.
It's like drive-in seasonaround here.
Yes, it is.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
We did go to the drive-in, we went, we did, we
did.
We've already been, which ismore than we went last year,
which is zero.
Well, no, we did go last yearonce, didn't we?

Speaker 2 (56:56):
We took Dakota for a birthday.
We took Dakota and then shebroke up with us a couple weeks
later.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
Right, and then she broke up with us a couple weeks
later, right, but yeah, so wedid go once last year, but yeah,
we already went this year andwe were pleasantly surprised by,
yes, chicken Jockey, theMinecraft movie, which we then
watched again when it just cameto streaming a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
Yeah, it's really cute.
I like it.
And you don't have to knowminecraft to.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
No, we don't know I don't know minecraft the only
thing I know about minecraft isthings that they like.
Jokes they've made on southpark right like I have no idea,
I have no concept.
I mean, I know roughly what itis, you know what I?

Speaker 2 (57:40):
mean it's like every other game you play?
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 (57:44):
It's, I'm not, no, it's, it's different.
I'm not going to sit here andhash out why that's totally
different than what I do whenI'm playing civilization.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Okay, but uh you're a real McAsshole, you know that.
Um, but yeah, seriously no itwas really, really good.
It was good and you discoveredthat there's actually another
drive-in movie theater that wehaven't been to close enough ish
to us in clearfield oh, yeah,yeah, yeah, close enough, I mean

(58:15):
within an hour drive, which iswhat we've always, you know,
said.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
So, yeah, we can take a couple more off the list, but
yeah, no.
And the most important thing ata drive-in movie theater, of
course, is the snack bar.
It's how I rate it.
I don't they all show movies,you know what I mean, but what

(58:44):
sets them apart is the snack bar.
And so this was.
Had we been to Carrolltownbefore?

Speaker 2 (58:52):
Yeah, I've been to Carrolltown a million times.
That's like one of my that wasmy favorite.

Speaker 1 (58:56):
Oh, right, right.

Speaker 2 (58:57):
When the kids were younger.
That was I like that one better.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Well, they're doing big things in their snack bar.
Now, this time they were slamjam, because it was like first
weekend or something when wewere there and it was slam jam,
busy and like it was a littlehard to get stuff.
But yeah, and they were likeshort-staffed and it was a mess,
so, like I didn't, we didn'tget any, like other good stuff

(59:26):
is what I'm saying because itwas just a little too busy.
But uh, no, because that's whatreally sets.
I mean because they're allgonna have popcorn.
Now here's the question, becausewe've been to drive-ins where
they don't even offer you butter.
Okay, boo is exactly right.
Who doesn't offer butter forpopcorn at a movie?
Like, in what world are youliving in?

(59:47):
And let this be my rant whatkind of human being runs a movie
business where you show moviesto the public, has a snack bar
with popcorn, mind you.
You, they have popcorn, candysoda, all the theater basics,

(01:00:10):
but what they don't have isbutter.
Now, I don't even rememberwhich place this is that I'm
talking about.
Okay, I don't remember Becausewe've been to a lot.
So I'm not saying it definitelywasn't this one.
Obviously, because theydefinitely had butter lot.
So I'm not saying it definitelywasn't this one, obviously,
because they definitely hadbutter.
So I'm not saying that, I'm notsaying it was one that was
around here.
You know what I mean.

(01:00:31):
This could have been anywhere.
Matter of fact, I think it wasone of them back down where that
we went to before I think itwas steven city.
Don't mention him, babe.
You're not supposed to say that, but I don't think it was
actually and I can't say.
That's why I don't want to sayI don't want to go throw in some

(01:00:51):
crazy accusation.
That's a horrible thing to sayabout someone.
Do you know what I mean?
Like that's like murder.
You know what I mean?
Like I wouldn't say that aboutmy worst enemy, that they didn't
offer me butter for popcorn andthis they're a movie theater,

(01:01:12):
but anyway they didn't.
So like, obviously, most snackbars are all going to have the
same things, but what sets youapart is what is the quality
like on your hot dogs,hamburgers, chicken tenders,
nachos.
Do you offer anything else thatmight surprise me?
I just named all the basics andthe other things, like any

(01:01:35):
fried things or that.
Like I get anything like that.
What do you have that mightsurprise me?

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
Hmm, no, but seriously, because like, some
places you go and they're likeoh, we have a grilled chicken
sandwich, ah the only thing Icare about is, regardless of
whether it obviously they haveto have popcorn, but I love a

(01:02:03):
good soft pretzel at the movies.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Mmm, I love too.
The idea of this is whatseparates two.
To me it's like I don't even.
I can't go watch a movie at aregular movie theater.
Now, after going like, onceyou've solidified that you're a
drive-in person, you can't dobecause you have freedom at the

(01:02:25):
drive-in that you don't have ata movie theater.
You're constricted and you'restuck between people, probably
unless you're in a very specificspot in the theater.
Chances are you're going tohave to.
You can't just be freelyroaming to the snack bar at any

(01:02:45):
time you please.
You know what I mean.
It's it's.
It's not a comfortableexperience because the driving
you got it all, baby.
You can do whatever you want.
You're in your area, you've gotyour little space, nobody.
You can sit outside yourvehicle.
Inside your vehicle you canhave your thing.

(01:03:06):
You can allow as volume as youwant.
You can go to the snack bar atany time.
You're not bothering anybody.
You ain't got to walk overnobody.
You can go to the bathroomfreely which for me is very
important and the snack bar thewhole time, like you're just
anytime you want you go.
That's why I like to sample it.

(01:03:27):
I like, when I can go through,grab a popcorn, come back.
Go through.
Get a pretzel come back.
Go through.
Get a burger come back.
Get another popcorn come back.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:03:44):
So what Scott is telling you guys is that he
doesn't see most of the moviebecause he's spending it going
back and forth to the snack bar.

Speaker 1 (01:03:55):
No, that's the beauty of a drive-in you don't miss
the movie when you're doingthose things.
Everybody, you can hear it, youcan see it.
It's all right there.
That's why I can't do regularmovies.
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
So we're going to go see Weapon.
When it comes out Weapons, itis Josh Brolin and Julia.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
Brolin Goonie.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
Goonie, goonie alert, and then Ozark.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Together, together for the first time, Thriller
Goonie Goonie, Goonie alert andan Ozark together in one
psychological thriller.
I don't know what it is yeah,it looks very good.
It does look good, it looks wild.
Kids just run out of houses andshit.
It looks scary.
It takes a lot for a scarymovie to grab my attention, to
be like ooh, not scary, but justlike a thriller.
You know what I'm saying.
It takes a lot for it to grabmy attention, to be like, ooh,

(01:04:43):
not scary, but just like athriller and you know what I'm
saying Like it takes a lot forit to grab my attention.
And as soon as I saw it I waslike Whoa, whoa, yeah, I want to
see that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
Um, hopefully it doesn't disappoint, because
every time I get excited about athriller movie, I'm not Every
single time.

Speaker 1 (01:05:02):
It's like they're batting a thousand for the last
27 years.

Speaker 2 (01:05:07):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
You know what I mean.
Like I had, I'm.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
I think the last good movie that we saw like that in
the theaters was maybe Insidious, and that was years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Yeah, that was.
Yeah, it was like what 10 yearsago, 10 years ago, mm-hmm,
Probably, at least Probably, itmight even be longer than that
when Insidious came out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:28):
Ooh?
Did you hear that?

Speaker 1 (01:05:29):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
Firework.
Wow, fireworks go off in ourneighborhood all day, every day.
We don't.
I think they go off every timewe record, because I feel like
we talked about this last timewe were recording, but anyway,
so, oh yeah, we have.

Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
People post so constantly about that.
They're like what were thoseloud booms I heard this morning
at 6 am Meanwhile?
Where we live, it's every day,like we just live where we live.
We've said this before.
I mean it's not the hood, butit's.

(01:06:07):
I mean it's not the hood, butit's like, it's bad.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (01:06:09):
Like and this well part of that city.
We would not.
We, we would just be a normalcity neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
But because we're not in a big city, like it's a
little worse than it should beright, that's exactly right, and
part of that is they freely setoff fireworks all the time and
uh, yeah, so we play a game fireshot, fireworks or gunshots
because they do that a lot toouh is shoot each other.

(01:06:37):
Um, no, it's not the samepeople.
The people that are shootingeach other are not the same
people that are setting off thefireworks.
No, it's different people.
That would be interesting ifthey were.
Just they wanted people to beused to the sound, so they
started proactively setting offfireworks to get people used to.

(01:06:59):
I mean, they have somebody elsedoing it for them now, but
that's a good idea actually.
So criminals out there listenup, that's me.
That's my criminal tip for theday.
If you're going to startshooting, people preemptively
start setting off fireworks, sopeople don't know the difference
.

Speaker 2 (01:07:19):
There you have it.
I mean that's how they did itin that one movie that I love
you might have.
I mean that's how they did itin that one movie that I love.

Speaker 1 (01:07:25):
You might have to cut that out, because I don't want
to be held responsible ofsomebody that does that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:30):
I thought you wanted me to cut it out because you
farted after you said it.
Did you fart?
No, oh, your chair must havesqueaked.
No, but what was that moviethat I love with Josh Duhamel
and the little dancer girl?
And it's set in Wilmington,what's?

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:53):
Safe Haven, safe Haven.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
Safe Haven.

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Because he does that, he waits until they're doing
the fireworks to do all thecrimes.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Oh yeah, see, that's probably where I learned it.
That's why you gotta watchthose rom-coms.
You find out how to kill people.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
So what do we got coming up?
What is coming up next forGilded Trash?
I'll tell you what's coming up.
This bitch is turning 50 in acouple weeks.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
He said and we will be on the road.
So, uh, we'll be out theredoing things.
We're going to go see Dan SoderIn Virginia beach.
That'll be a lot of fun.
We're going to go party it upat our favorite place in South
mountain Uh, who knows what else.
We're going to probably see thebaby.

(01:08:42):
We got a lot planned, yeah, alot we got a lot planned.
Yeah, a lot planned.
A lot coming up, a lot to talkabout.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
We didn't even get into.
We did not even get into, but Igot to bring this up before we
close this thing out.
Karen Reed.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
We haven't even talked about it.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
Well, so we are going to stay on the true crime for
just a second.
I want to wrap it up with KarenReed Cause.
That was probably one of myfavorite wins of the last month.
Um, outside of the baby Cause,the baby's a win, but not a win
yet, like it's not in mypersonal.
That's a personal win that haszero to do with things.

(01:09:26):
We've been talking about KarenReid forever, right In the trial
.
There's a new story that we'regoing to be following out of
Bloomsburg Caitlin Hart, maybeHart Hart.
Yeah, like a Like a harp Hart.
Caitlin Hart heart, maybe umheart like, yeah, like a like a

(01:09:47):
heart caitlin heart.
Um, she went missing the otherday allegedly, and um but we're
not saying we don't know.
I haven't dug in, I don't wantto infer anything because we
don't know oh, I'm inferring hisI have no idea Her husband's
first wife, mr oh, yeah, yeah,yeah, that's totally super

(01:10:07):
suspect.

Speaker 1 (01:10:07):
I thought you were saying something that she just
did it herself.
No, no, no, that's why I wassaying don't say that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:17):
Old Vince Harp is looking mighty suspicious.

Speaker 1 (01:10:20):
Yeah, his first wife died of an overdose.
That's classic, classic husbandmurder.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
So we'll be following that as it uncovers.
But I mean, that doesn't seemlike it seems like it's pretty
closed case.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
Yeah, yeah, I mean I feel like if it's that obvious,
they're already talking about itin the news, so that's already
like.
However we thought Karen Reidwas a closed case, we thought
that there was no evidence.
I mean right, but at leastthere I could see, like you

(01:11:02):
could at least see theconnection.
You know what I mean.
You can at least.

Speaker 2 (01:11:05):
Until the Commonwealth's evidence was
produced.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Right, I'm not saying that there was, the question
was was there doubt?
And there absolutely was.
But that's not like what I'msaying.
Is they that one's more of a?
This is a dunker.
I feel like, yeah, this one'smore of a.

Speaker 2 (01:11:27):
This is a dunker.

Speaker 1 (01:11:27):
I feel like yeah, this one's a dunker.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
Karen Reed was not a dunker, but thank God that she
had the team that she didbecause, um, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
Oh, aj Allen Jackson Well.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
I like the other one too, way down yonder on the
Chattahoochee.
I like Robert Al one too, waydown yonder on the Chattahoochee
.
I like Robert Alessi too.
He's really effing smart.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Why would you call him a lesbian?

Speaker 2 (01:11:52):
Alessi.

Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
Oh, I thought you said Robert's Alessi.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
No, robert, alessi, Alessi, oh Bob he was fun.
Oh my God.
But the reason why I love thiscase so much is because,
literally, I would go to work,turn on TikTok and listen to the
content creators go live andtalk about the case, and it was
so much more fun than listeningto the news talk about it.

(01:12:21):
And do not even get me startedon Court TV.
Court TV is the most biasedcrock of shit I've never heard
those people.
Thank God they're not lawyersin real life anymore, because I
wouldn't hire not one of them.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
They are tough.
What's that guy's name?
Vinnie Politano.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
Vinnie Politan, vinnie Politan guy's name vinnie
vince paulitano.
Vinnie paulitan he's just he'sfine because he's just like the
face, he's just out there, he'slike the the crowd it's the, the
, it's the like daytime no-namereporters that are throwing it
in there in that one so-calledexpert that well they're the
judge, they're the.
They always call her judge too,and I'm like when's the last

(01:13:06):
time she judged?
Is she sitting on a judgeshipnow?
If she is, she shouldn't be oncart tv commentating on shit
well, I'm talking about that oneguy, lawyer oh, the one that
looks, it's always like it wasreally strong for the defense, I
mean for the prosecution.
I mean for the prosecution,Nobody's buying that?

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Nobody's buying that from Karen Reid buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
Oh, I hate him.
I can't think of his name.

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Yeah, I don't know his name.
We'll put it in our thing.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
I'm going to clip every video he did where he said
that the Commonwealth had astrong case and that I'm going
to be like.
None of these comments agedwell for you, asshole.
I cannot stand him, but anyway.
So yes, Karen Reid is free.
She was acquitted of allcharges, except for the DUI,
which they call OUI in massbecause they have to be queer.

(01:13:58):
It's operating under theinfluence.
Get the fuck out of here.
Blow it out, your ass mass.
You know why you out of here.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
Blow it out your ass.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
You know why?
You know the difference?
Blow it out your ass mass.
I'm not going to say that.
So I think and if I look it upI'm probably very close the
language is operating, becausethat's when they can get you for
being in your car with the keyson, like with the car on.
You're tactically not drivingat that point, but you're

(01:14:27):
operating the vehicle.
Ew, why are you doing that?
You look like because, I'm justmessing.
You look like lucky lofgren theplow driver.

Speaker 1 (01:14:36):
You'll be talking, you'll be talking.
Yes, they won't see me doingthat.

Speaker 2 (01:14:43):
Except for it's a split screen and they will see
you.

A famous quote about garbage Inthis week's Scott's Thoughts
comes from Juan Neil Young.
That's right that, neil Young.
And he said I see a woman inthe night with a baby in her

hand under an old streetlight,near a garbage can.
And what was she doing there,you ask?

thrown in the dumpster.
