Speaker 2 (01:27):
No, I mean, there's
not really a story to tell.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I don't even remember
it.
So if you told a story, I'd belike oh okay, that happened.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
I mean, I could tell
it from the beginning, some
would say you possibly ruinedthe night.
I thought you said no, probablyjust the people paying for it.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
oh, wait so you wait
a minute.
What did I miss?
Speaker 3 (01:51):
so you and your wife,
guys never invite me to
anything fun I wasn't reallyinvited.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
I didn't invite jay
oh, it was was this a company,
party or something it was acompany party and I happened to
employ his big brother, whohappens to not have a plus one.
So it was my idea I'm like youshould invite your brother.
Yeah, I guess.
So you're saying you regretthat?
No, not at all.
Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I regret nothing.
Was this at like a hotel or abanquet center?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
No, we went to a
Brazilian steakhouse where they
bring you various meats onsticks.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I've never had that
experience, but I've heard great
things.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It's one of my
favorite things.
I love that place so much.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I'll just interject.
I thought I was going to be alittle.
I'm not saying it was terrible,I thought it would have been
better than it was.
I think the meats were half ofthem were like game, not game
like well you tried lamb for thefirst time, which that was not
a fan.
Oh my god it was good at first.
(02:59):
It had a bad aftertaste, yeahthat that's lamb.
I didn't know that.
Now I do um and I thought euromeat was lamb meat, but I guess
no, it's mostly just beef it's ablend.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Right, it's a blend.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It's like what it's
like 80 seasoning and I love
euro meat, so I was excitedabout this lamb, but it didn't
taste like gyro.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, it's a little
like when you have a real piece
of chicken but you've only hadChicken McNuggets for your whole
life, and you're like what thefuck is this?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's a boneless,
skinless chicken breast.
It was like slimy, slimy.
I mean the first bite was great.
Then, all of a sudden, I wasjust like, oh, what's going on
here?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I mean I had a big
old leg of lamb on a skewer.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Yeah, well, see, the
thing with me is, I've tried all
, all their meats.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I've been there a
bunch of times and you 100 eat
the beef now yeah, there's.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
there's two of them
that I get and everything else I
let go by me.
Every once in a while I takeone of their little sausages.
They're pretty good.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
I don't know.
It looks like you took likeeverything Except for the lamb.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
No, I only took the
sausage.
I took one sausage, but theyhave little filet mignon chunks,
the ones wrapped in bacon.
Wrapped in bacon, them are okay, but they have this sirloin
that they make and I don't knowwhat the fuck the seasoning is
(04:35):
and it gets like this reallygood crust on the outside and
it's, you know, like rare on theinside.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
They're so fucking
good.
Tony only asks the guys thatcome around that haven't got a
cut out of it yet, so he getsjust the edge pieces he's like
no, I'll wait.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Well, normally when
they're not, they were really
busy and our table was reallybig.
Yeah and uh, normally when theybring those out they cut you
off the ends that are cooked.
So it's rare.
On both sides on, they havefour pieces on it, so they have
eight raw sides and then they goput it back because them big
(05:12):
swords are the skewers back oncooking they put it back on.
Burn the outside of thosebecause you know they're real
thick, all right, but thesepeople were fucking like.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Savage eating.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
No, they were slicing
you off like sheets of paper.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yeah, they kept
slicing you.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Where normally they
cut you off like a fucking steak
.
They were cutting you off theselittle sheets of paper and they
kept cutting the rare stuff tooand I'm like no bitch move on.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
No and they kept Okay
, so they would cut it and you'd
have to like, like physicallystop them like no, I know, but
physically stop them fromcutting you another one, because
they would not stop cutting you.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
It like I thought you
were like okay, I want to get
it on your plate.
Keep doing.
Have you put it in your faceand get the freak out of there
so that they can turn the nexttable?
Speaker 3 (06:01):

A couple of my employees thatwere sitting in I shot at me and

plate and they just.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You get a discard
pile or no?
You just got to keep your fattypieces on your plate.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
You're not supposed

You're supposed to suck downthat fat.
Anyway it was a good experience.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
It was a good
experience, but Jay had 74
margaritas or what.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
No, it was a good
experience.
It was a good experience, butjay had 74 margaritas, or what?
No, jay didn't drink that muchthere, no.
And then, uh, we went and didit's.
It's called the game showbattle room yeah, I gotta do
that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I got a gift card for
that shit.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Uh, jay said it was
very cheesy it's corny but I
think I think it's uh theirjokes were corny.
Yeah, of course, their style ofthe way they spoke was really
corny Well yeah, they're tryingto be like a fun version of a TV
(07:36):
game show.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I'm not hating.
Well, I feel like you arehating.
Okay, I'm hating a little bit,but I'm not hating where I would
say it's not something that youcould not do, because I think
it's it was.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
But the the bartender
there has a heavy pour.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
No, so Chris is
waiting for when I got wasted
this is this is where everythingstarted is, uh, we got there
and they double book.
They double booked the room fora half hour.
So the group before us, wewalked in, you know 10 minutes
early and they go just to letyou know.
(08:14):
Uh, when we booked it wethought the other book, the
other party did you know like a60 minute, and they actually did
a 90 minute, so it's gonna be ahalf hour.
And they said we got cans ofbeer and, uh, trulies and stuff
here, but the place next door,the golf simulator place, they
(08:35):
have a full bar.
Okay, so immediately beforeanything else can be said, jay's
like we're going over there, sohim and his little crew walk
over there, that crew I justwalked over there, people
followed he's got all the bademployees following his ass to
the fucking gooch house not manycame.
(08:58):
He thought he was like thefucking fonz on happy days what
are you talking about?
Like he just turns around backto the crowd, snaps his fingers
in the air points to the ceilingand then slowly changes that
point to the door and he's likewe're going guess what your wife
came to sell.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
What does that say?
Speaker 2 (09:18):
She loves fucking
liquor.
No the thing too.
She's like bar.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I'm in.
When we got to it there too,what tony explained about being
double booked his wife got onthat dude's case and was like if
we're not, uh, we got aspecific time, and if we do not
get that time or you're not herefor your time, you're skipped.
And the guy was like flustered.
He didn't know what to dobecause tony's wife is very
demanding and she's strong woman.
Tony's back in the cornerfucking hands in his pockets.
(09:49):
I'm like tony, this ain't mybattle, you want to go help?
Speaker 2 (09:52):

She's got it.
I already wrote the check.
She's got it.
No, they, uh, they make a bigthing with all the shit you got
to sign To be on time and allthis other stuff To be on time.
And they're like if you are noton time, your group will not
get to go.
Like everybody must be there 10minutes early, blah, blah, blah
(10:16):
, or you will not get to do yourgame show battle.
Apparently there was a problem.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Because they weren't
holding themselves to the same
standard.
You should have got your moneyback, or something.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
They gave us a free
drink they bought.
There were 18 people and theybought them all around At the
golf simulator.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
No, they gave
everybody a can of beer or
whatever I was like.
All right, since we're going tobe in this game show for an
hour and I can't get a drink,give me the strongest beer you
have and you gave me a longisland in a can.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
She reserved it for
like 13 people or something and
like 18 people came, so we weresupposed to pay like 35 a person
for all the extra people andthey're like you don't have to
pay that and there's a wholeround of drinks included.
So it's like fucking $300 yeahit's a good that's a good worth
of shit for waiting a half hour.
(11:13):
I'm like I don't give a fuck ohyeah, you didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You're in the corner

Speaker 2 (11:18):
I didn't have any
other plans.
We had an overnight sitter.
Like the fuck does it matter tome if it's a half hour late?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
and the games.
It was like family feud atfirst.
Then it was guess the price oflike price is right, kind of
stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
That was your team
kind of okay.
Yeah, there's two long tables.

Maybe I guess I don't.
Actually I did.
Yeah, I wanted to be on.
You did.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, you were really
good a couple games and
somebody else was on my team andjoey, my brother, kicked him
off my team because he wanted tobe on my team.
Speaker 3 (12:48):

forget I think ed.
Ed and his brother were comingover by me.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
It's like, oh, you
guys are over there, I'm over
here with tony, but uh, yeah, itwas fucking great challenges
and then they have you take apicture at the end and they take
up this picture for everyperson that's played uh, the
winner.
And they, they thumbtack it tothe um the wall when you first
walk in.
When I take the picture, I tookmy shirt off or when you took a

I was racing this no thepicture.
(13:40):
And then they got anotherpicture.
Though, tony, the picture withyour phone I have, I put my
shirt back.
I put my shirt back on for thatone, the one that their head
has, is hanging up at the gameplays my shirt's off.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, I remember
turning to the side and seeing a
bearskin rug.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
I was like what the
fuck?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Who wore the?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
weird sweater.
After we finished, everybodywanted to go to Potawatomi.
I'm like I can't, I'm not going.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
I'm like I, I can't,
I'm not going, I'm not going, Uh
, so I even told Jay that we'ddrive so he could leave his
phone in the car.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I was like I can't go
, I'm not going.
Uh, anything else you want todo, I mean, let's just.
I mean either that or justgoing to go home.
And uh, you're I don't know ifit was your wife or who, but
we're like there's a bar down,down around the corner and I was
like, okay, that sounds good,let's do it.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So that's where, uh,
the disaster happened so then he
asked the people at the gameshow place can I leave my phone
here?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
yeah, so half of us
went to the bar and then I just
kept getting double uh rum andcokes, and you know what I
probably had like I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
You had five of them
when you paid your tab and
everybody left.
But you wouldn't leave, so dansaid you ordered another one and
some shots.
I probably did, I don'tremember.
And then you tried to start afight with a random person.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
You wouldn't leave,
so Dan said you ordered another
one and some shots I probablydid, I don't remember and then
you tried to start a fight witha random person.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I don't think that's
true that Dan had to apologize
to a lot.
Now this sounds accurate.
I believe it.
Well, for those of you thatnever drank with Jay which I'm
assuming is nobody who'slistening to this everybody
listening has drank with Jay.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Put a comment on
Apple.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Podcasts, if you

But the fun thing about Jay isJay is unlike any other drunk
male I know he turns into adrunk female.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
He gets grabby, gets
really touchy he gets really
touchy like.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
There's never a time
where he's not like rubbing your
shoulder and and this is godhonest you can call his brother
right now for verification.
He touched me in my penis somany times on purpose.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I think I slapped you
in your dick lots of times I
don't get that move.
I don't, I don't you know, itonly makes sense when you're
drinking.
It doesn't make sense whenyou're drinking no, I do
remember, I do remember this.
I do remember tony throwing mearound like a rag doll I

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I remember knocking
down rag doll.
I remember knocking down acouple tables.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
I remember knocking
down a couple tables with my
body and chairs and thingsfalling on top of me and Tony's
standing there in all of hisglory, going bitch.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
All right, this is
what happened.
It was all instinctual, it hadnothing to do with anything.
I would have done this toanybody my wife, anybody Try to
touch my dick.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
He goes in for I can
tell is going to be an epic dick

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Now I know why I
don't go out with you guys but
much, much like shakira my hipsdon't lie I was able to dodge
the dick twist, dick twist, andI grabbed him by the back of his
neck and I didn't know what Iwas going to do at this point.
But now I got this super hairyknack in my hands and jay
(17:31):
fucking immediately goes limpnow you're carrying him like a
kid's toy by the neck, or whatand I throw him face first into
the ground.
I'm holding a limp man who'sdesperately still trying to grab
(17:52):
my dick with his fucking limpnoodle arms.
He's just trying to wave himtoward my dick, so I throw him
face first on the ground of thisfucking filthy tavern, your
exaggerations are unbelievablethis is not an exaggeration.
Okay, so call your brother ormy brother and they will tell
(18:14):
you the fucking same story.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I recall in the
beginning of this story that you
stated that if tony said ithappened, it did.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Because you don't
remember shit so I throw him to
the ground and all right.
So we, we just got done havingthis wonderful night that might
explain the dick grabbing fine,fine dining.

He's ripping his
shirt off.
It's like he won the Super Bowl.
We're going to Disneyland.
Speaker 3 (19:01):

what trophy they actually gave
us, and then I got mad.

alcohol.
Then you threw it all up, ohman the hangover had to be hell.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
I was going to say
that the weird thing is I don't
get hangovers really.
I never vomited the next day.
Uh, headaches are pretty tame.
I felt fine.
All I just don't think is Idon't fucking remember what
happened.
You know well that.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
That's where the
problem lies.
Well, yeah, there's the problemwell, you threw up all the
rumpleman was that night afactor in your decision to quit
drinking?
Speaker 3 (25:07):
yeah, sometimes you
know a little bit, yeah, a
little bit.
But I and you were still on thefence yesterday yeah, well,
that was an event bro, oh yeah,but I, I like I said I do this
like once a year, I take acouple months and I was like,
fuck, this is probably the besttime after I just fucking,
almost, you know, made a fool ofmyself, fool bender, yeah, and
(25:28):
just went crazy.
I might as well start today, ormaybe the next day, because I'm
going to the Bucs game.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
So do you have a hard
time just having a social beer?
No, you're fine with just likehaving a beer.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
The thing is um, so
if you have three beers or
whatever, in my experience youhave three beers two hours later
it's nap time.
Yeah, I mean, if you keepdrinking, you don't get you
don't get the sleepies.
So, like if you had like threebeers in the beginning of a
basketball game and then don'thave another one after halftime,
(26:12):
you're going to start to getsleepy by the end of the game.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
You get sleepy If you
don't eat you.
If you do eat, you lose, uhyour buzz.
So all that work you've done isuh 12 ounces at a time baby is
all is all down the drain so youcan't eat because you want the
buds buzz to last a littlelonger.
And then sometimes it couldjust be, you know, if we're all
night uh, an all-night thing I'mgetting drinks and it's just
(26:38):
non-stop.
That's when it you know it canbe disastrous.
But again, I I think it's notlike I I have to go home now and
drink a beer because I'm gotthe shakes, like I don't drink
that much right.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, I know you're
not like an everyday drinker.
No dude, I could never drinkevery day but is that the thing,
like I've noticed a coupletimes I've been around you when
you were drinking, drinking,yeah that you're always in a
race against yourself.
What does that mean?
Speaker 3 (27:10):
like you're in a
competition nobody else knows
about, like no, I think it'smore of just like how hammered
can?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I actually get.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's more of like a
relaxing thing for for you to be
in, like you're in a situationwhere you're hanging out and I'm
having a discussion with you,we're chilling, we're like you,
you got something, you needsomething to do, so you drink.
I mean I'm not going to order afucking water.
Yeah, like an adult.
Well, yeah, I mean, who ordersthe water?
I?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
do some serious binge
drinking for events Like last
night.
I had two cocktails at home,then I had two beers two
12-ounce beers at the bar,before Then three or four beers
16 ounces at the venue, so thatI mean that's a decent amount of
(28:04):
beer, but that was like I knewall week.
I was like, oh, the Bucks game,I'm going to go to them and
have these beers.
If I go to like a concert, likeif it's a Saturday concert, I'm
probably starting drinkingaround like two in the afternoon
and I'll have a good buzz goingby the time the show starts at
eight.
(28:24):
The problem is me, and then if Idecide that I'm going to keep
drinking, then yeah, by the endof the night I'm sloshed Like
it's messy.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And have you eaten
anything throughout this time?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Typically, like
you're saying, when I start for
a concert, I forcefully have ameal because I know that if I
don't, I'm going to get superhungry at the end of the night
and the alcohol is going todestroy me and I'm going to be
non-functioning human.
I don't want to benon-functioning human, I want to
think I'm functioning and thenrealize the next day like oh
(28:55):
shit, check the Uber.
Damn 3.15?
.
What the fuck did I?
Oh shit, I went by dave's houseafter well, that's what you're
like.
Oh man, he always has yag.
Oh, I was drinking jagermeisterafter dark.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
That's why you needed
tony in your life, the sober
one that can tell you what youhave done.
No, I don't want you forgot.
No life the sober one that cantell you what you have done.
No, I don't want that, that youforgot.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
No, because then the
sober guy can come tell an
embarrassing story on a podcastabout me.
If it's just me, I don't careat all.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
I really don't.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
No I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
I've had so many of
them that I mean.
I don't and honestly, asidefrom all the dick twisting.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
I don't think think
you really did anything like you
.
You weren't like a spectacle ofthe evening or anything like
that.
I thought it was.
No, you were just.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
The dude was a little
hammered and made everybody
laugh a bunch because you werefucking no, yeah, I mean, and if
there was more people around itprobably been a lot worse,
because there's more for me toget in in trouble with yeah,
yeah, fucking around with people, you were, as people would say,
harmless.
Yeah, I'm not like you know,until you start going for the
(30:06):
cock when you say that I'mtrying to get in a fight.
That got a little weird.
When you say I'm trying to getin a fight with someone, I'm
really not an aggressive drunk.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I'm not a fighter.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
You are very
aggressive.
I defend myself an aggressivedrunk.
I'm not a fighter.
You are very aggressive.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
I defend myself no.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
I defend myself
aggressively.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Aggressively, yes,
irrational, yeah, I will.
I irrationally defend myselfwith no reason.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
But I wasn't even
getting into the story to tell
that story.
Yeah, I know, I was justfinding out what is the reason
you decided to take a break fromthe liquor.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Like I said, you need
to recharge the batteries.
You can't go your whole lifedrinking.
I mean because I'll be drinkingonce, once or twice a week and
you do that for you know, um 40,whatever that many years, 32
years.
Well, I started when I was five, so let's add another five.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
There started
drinking when you were five well
, he was born.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
He was born and
raised in west alice.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
I was born drunk when
I was, but when I was born I
was in West Allis.
I was born drunk when I wasborn.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I was just fucking
kids drunk.
Sneaking liquor at all, thedoor to door, jehovah's
Witnesses.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
You need to recharge
and I mean, if I could never
drink alcohol again, I would bea happy person.
But again, it's very easy toget everywhere you go.
It's right in front of yourface, everyone did you ever
think of?
No, doesn't up liquor for goodand just uh like heroin, maybe a
man's thing like cocaine Icould never do that, I mean I've
(31:53):
never done any hard drugs.
I don't trust myself me neither.
Look at me with alcohol.
What the fuck?
What happened if I coked myselfup?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
dude and I'm not, I'm
not, I'm not like trying to
start shit with you or anything,but dude with that nose the
amount of coke.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I could hide a
fucking eight ball right up my
left nostril.
Is that what it's called aneightol?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
I think that's a
measurement.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Yeah, I don't know
yeah, don't do drugs don't do
drugs, just drink your ass I getthe breaking on the stopping on
the alcohol I don't drink veryoften, but the weekends for sure
, you got, you got.
You guys all have good controlmy stuff is always on like an
event and I like to have uh, Inormally have three or four when
we're here, maybe five yeah, Imean four, maybe five.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Uh well, I packed
five today.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
I packed five beers
today in a water well, again too
well, I think the one you'redrinking is non-alcoholic?
Speaker 2 (32:50):
I don't know, it
looks like a fake beer.
It tastes like.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
It tastes a lot like
a heineken.
What I got here is a ChangChang C-H-A-N-G classic beer
from Thailand with naturalingredients.
It's a product of Thailand.
It is used to be a boy brewedat Cosmos Brewery in Thailand,
and someone had him over at myhouse and left three or four in
(33:18):
the fridge.
So I'm drinking them.
It's not bad.
I don't know what the alcoholcontent on it, but I don't think
it's NA 5%.
It's all in the metric system.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
There you go 5% when
I was young.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Consumption of
alcohol make beverages impairs
your ability to drive a car andmay have you dick twist your
friends.
So I don't know.
It says it on the bottle, Iguess.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
When I was younger,
my grandpa liked to drink a lot.
He liked to taste the beer, buthe would also be responsible
about it.
So he'd buy non-alcoholic stuffand he would store that down in
the basement.
And my friends and I wouldalways not always.
We went down there a coupletimes and drank a bunch of them
and we're like, oh, he's lookingyou.
(34:02):
How do you feel, man?
You feel drunk.
Like yeah, dude, I feelsomething, something's going on.
And then we found out, uh, Idon't know, years later that
there was no alcohol and he'snon-alcoholic.
And, um, I swear to god, tillthis day I think I was drunk off
those non-alcoholic beers.
I doubt it, I don't think it'spossible, I don't know.
(34:22):
But I don't understand anybodythat can drink it, loving the
taste, especially non-alcoholicbeers.
I mean, there's no good ones.
Sure there are.
Which one?
Give me a name Diet soda, glastHouse makes a good one but it's
a.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
German beer.
It tastes like German beer.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
So if you want a
Miller Lite no, there's not like
a Do you like beer enough todrink it?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
and not get a buzz.
I've had NA beers.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
Well, I know I've had
them too.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
For example, there
was a girl I was dating and we
would go to her grandparents'house on.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Easter, how recent
was this Before my wife.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Okay, Chris is going
to be like what is this?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
And they didn't drink
, but they knew I drank and they
knew that her dad drank, theirson drank, so they would always
buy a 12-pack of NAs and wewould have like three or four of
them while we were tinkering onthe tractor, doing this other
thing, eating dinner or whatever.
I've never purchased NA beer.
(35:25):
I don't see any reason to bedrinking it.
No, I would much rather havelike a fruit punch or something.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
I'm not going to go
for alcohol or a.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Sprite.
I enjoy the flavor of beer.
Like I'll have a beer withdinner and that'll be it.
Like a Sprite, I enjoy theflavor of beer.
I'll have a beer with dinnerand that'll be it.
I enjoy a beer.
Speaker 3 (35:43):
That's something I
can't do.
I cannot have beer with eatingsomething.
It makes whatever I'm eatingtaste like shit.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
I don't know.
Big steak and some thick-cutAmerican french fries there,
well, I tried that already.
It didn't work, or whateverAmerican French fries there.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Well, I tried that
already it didn't work.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Or whatever American
French fries Saturday, american
fries, some yeah it's good stuffto have one beer or one
cocktail with your meal.
I've also started drinkingbourbons, which is like the
opposite end.
That's like you're tasting thealcohol.
You want the alcohol, you wantthe oak barrel flavor, you want
the, you want to feel, you know,you want to taste what's
(36:25):
underneath the distiller'sfingernails and that shit right
that's the one thing too.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I, if I stuck to just
beer and I wasn't drinking the
hard liquor that I was on thatnight, I would have probably
been.
I mean, I still would have beenbuzzed and probably drunk, but
I wouldn't have been fuckingdick twisting like Tony fucking
puts it.
I would have been, oh yeah.
And then Tony's like hey, comeover here, knowing I'm drunk,
(36:49):
come here and gamble, dude, ittook like two or three yeah, you
did.
You're like dude, this thingpays out like crazy.
I'm like which machine should Iplay, tony?
You know more than I do.
I don't even know how to playthese ones.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
They're the ones with
the really big screens, you
were like, oh, there's gambling,let me go to this ATM real
quick.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
I don't even know how
many hundreds I took out.
Lost it all within five minutes.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
I don't know either,
but you came back with $50 in
poll tabs.
You took a couple bucks.
Speaker 3 (37:17):
I had 50 pull tabs.
I think I won $7.
And I just gave it to thebartender as a tip it was
ridiculous Gambling at the bar.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
It's illegal to
gamble in the state of Wisconsin
.
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
I mean, unless you go
into a bar where you're
drinking and it's unregulatedand you can trick people.
It's like a coupon.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
And what if you
actually win a giant prize?
How and who is going to cashthat?
They cash it right at the bar.
Okay, they're going to cash a$10,000 winning.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
I worked at a bar and
I won big pots at this same bar
and he'll pay.
Normally they'll give you apaper payout.
If it's over, like $700, $500,$600 or whatever, they'll give
you a sheet of paper and you gotto come in the morning because
they don't want to give you abunch of money like that at the
bar, when you know whatever theydon't want to.
Have the little bartender whodoesn't have access to safe to
(38:12):
start counting out thirteenhundred dollars or whatever.
No, it makes sense.
So you.
But what ends up happening isthese degenerate drinking
gamblers who win at the bar.
They're like, ah, just let'sget around for a little, and all
of a sudden their $1,200 win islike 600 bucks and they come
back and get it, because thereain't nothing better than
(38:35):
someone.
You know Like I used to go tothis bar and I'd like knew all
the people like that was mycorner bar, I would go to all
the time and all the littlepeople that were like you know,
I work at this, I don't have awife and kids and I work at this
high paid place.
They'd.
They'd smash like four or fivehundred dollars in a pull tabs
every single night, jesus, butwhen they hit they'd buy
(38:57):
everybody drinks.
So it's like you don't even winwhen you win, bro, but there's
nothing better, because then youyou know all of a sudden that
guy's the best guy at the bar,everyone's friends with them,
everyone's doing shots.
You don't have to pay for him,he's paid so um how much did you
lose on that?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I lost 60 bucks.
I lost 40 in the machine and 20in the poll tabs.
You got so machines and $20 inthe pull tabs.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
So you spent $20 in
the pull tabs.
Everyone was a loser.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
No, I got like $11
back.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
And then you put it
back in the pull tabs again.
No, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
Okay, I put it in my
pocket.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
That's impossible,
Right well.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
When you're pull
tabbing, it's all or nothing.
You got to hit that hundo oryou're done.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, I was kind of
done at that point.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Doesn't it go to like
$1,000 for the top price for a?
Speaker 2 (39:43):
pull tab.
I don't know, those ones were$599 or something $600.
