cupcakes vanilla chocolate espresso frosting, although it's your favorite flavor,
and will they be leftover? Yes? Maybe make the frosting
to that good? Well short, like those last things you
brought in, you needed to put him in the microwave.

(04:07):
You know what. The British baking is a little on
the dryer side. Dan, If you have to wake up
a dessert by putting in the microwave, I don't. Okay,
let it sleep. I think I left it in the
event a little bit too long. I'm sorry. No, I
think it's cool that you're baking. To do I wish
I could cook as well as you. Elvis is a
fan time No, I burned ship all the time. But

(04:29):
see the thing that Elvis says is when he has
a dinner party, he will practice making the meal the
night before. Yeah, you didn't do you didn't know that.
I didn't know that. You remember you were people overhead
at times where if I'm gonna make a new dish
I've never made before, I will rehearse it. Then do
you eat that dinner and then have it again the
next night? Hell? Yeah, I couldn't have dinner that same

(04:52):
dinner back to back. I'm getting ready to do that,
now what do Yeah, so at least it's out. It's
out for a couple of days. She leaves today. There's
this one restaurant that I'd love to go to she
doesn't really love. I'm gonna eat there three of the
four nights she's gone it. Do it to make up
for all those times she said no, exactly every time

(05:13):
she says no, you know what I'm going Thank God.
It may not affect most people, but here in New
York City, we were about to experience a doorman strike.
Doorman and of course the men and women and the
doorman is that is there a door attendance, and of
course people who worked the building to keep it rolling.

(05:36):
We're about to go on strike. Meaning if you live
in an department building here, you're gonna to take out
your own trash, take it down to the street. You're
gonna like, you can't, you can't. What's so funny about that? Nothing? No,
I thought someone else laughed. I was laughing along. Back up.
Last look, when you live on the twelfth floor of

(05:57):
a building and like hauling your trash down the elevator
up and down, and taking it outside. It's it's whatever,
and maybe it's not awful. But the good thing about
staying in the city is you have the best restaurants
in the world, write their own line and you have
them deliver your apartment. We were not going to have that.
So last time, I'm like, let me stalk up. So
I ordered pizza. It was so good. Order some pizza

(06:20):
and it was delivered them like I don't want pizza,
I want Indian. Yes, So I ordered Indian and I
brought you guys the pizza today. It was so good.
So I've got some leftovers home. But luckily, uh, the
men and women who work in our buildings are not
on strike. I was talking to my friend christ on
the way o the building. Did they saying congratulations And
this happens every four years. They threatened to strike because
they get a crappy deal, which they were getting this year.

(06:43):
But then the gobble they needed. Can we can we
go back to Scottie poo pooing the doorman? No, I
just I just laughed when he said, I have thought
take the garbage to the street. That's all, okay. I
will say this. I lived in buildings that had dorman
when I lived in the city and didn't have dorman,
vastly superior. Or you're having a doormat, your packages don't
get stolen, you don't have creepy people wandering your your building,

(07:06):
just the hallways. By the way, Just because a doorman
doesn't mean it's the most exclusive exploits building at all,
not at all. But they are unionized, and they are
They really did a good job. And I tell you
why because during pandemic, when a lot of people evacuated
the city and a lot of people stayed in their
apartments just hunker down without leaving, the doorman showed up
every freaking day and helped to make sure life was

(07:29):
good for people. So I love my door people in
my building. I'm my friends with all of them, talk
to them, see what's going on in their lives. And
I definitely feel a lot safer having them there, because
even though I live in a giant building, they know
everybody who lives there. They know when somebody doesn't belong
in there, they know who food delivery people, they know everything.
They keep an eye on it. I love them. I

(07:50):
don't get one from my house that I got. I
gotta tell you. I also go a step further. And
I love my door people as well. I used them
to um, I used to film my Instagram videos because
I live alone. That's why they're striking, Like I can't
have every video of myself in my apartment facing me

(08:10):
like this with the front camera. So I'm like, listen,
I need to film this video for something, would you?
And they actually are a great camera people as well,
so I'm just like, you know they have sometimes they
do stuff in my lobby and they work with your lobby.
Sometimes I can't get to the small of my back
when I shower. I just called them and don't if
there had been a strike, Elvis, would you have had

(08:32):
to push the twelve on your elevator by yourself? You know,
I don't have an elevators. Everybody off in about two seconds.
Fresh delivery arrived at like ten o'clock in the morning
and I I didn't get home until ten o'clock at night,
and they were like, Anthony, we put this in the
refrigerator for you. I'm like, yes, because it's a perishable
long just a client slipping. That's my first name that

(08:56):
did you just have a stroke. I would to go
back to what I said earlier. Just because you have
a doorman doesn't mean you're living in the most posh, beautiful,
freaking billion dollar building. But Elvis, I think another thing
to people just assume it's like, oh, they just hold
the door. It's not more just holding the door. Guys
don't open the door from there with packages on me

(09:19):
struggle before and laughed about it. Is that's okay. They
do so much more for us. I can get the
door broke. My wife Lisa has a doorman. It's me.
I do everything. Are you tuning your own horn over
the act? Oh, Daniel, you've been many years ago. I

(09:41):
was dating a girl on the Upper East Side of
Manhattan and there was a doorman and I, you know,
when we broke up, I wasn't happy about it, so
I would show up and like try to get winner back.
He was put in charge of keeping me out of
the lobby. They do that to the security. Yeah. Yeah, Mike,
the redheaded doorman was like, I'm sorry, you can no
longer come in building. No, yeah, thanks Mike. Maybe it

(10:03):
was a good thing. Mike was there. Yes, probably was
the film Instagram video of me being said, yeah, alright,
dorman done. It's just dormant are just not relatable to
the majority of people listeners, because you know, New York
City is is not really a city that's huge this way.
It's huge this way. We're tall, you know, we got
lots of stories to live in and it takes dorman anyway,

(10:26):
what else or sometimes I wanted to know from vacation.
So I saw a video of Scary having a beautiful
dinner with his parents, right and uh, he takes out
his phone before anyone starts eating, including his parents, to
start filming what they are eating. Do you tell your
mom and dad, hey, before you start eating, I need
to take this video for Instagram? Does your parents well,

(10:47):
did you have the chef come out and film for you?
My phone at the ready? And I when the waiters served,
you have a holster like a remove about a sday
And my father and my father and mother they got
their way. We changed restaurants and we went to go
eat this place. And I'm like, this looks like a

(11:08):
great Eastern dinner and it should be documented. I'll be
looking back on these videos, but not Scary Jesus has Risen.
Does your dad say like like if you're hired to
off like we gotta eat. He did say that. He goes,
what and he has the fork in his hand upside down,
you know, and the napkin over the you know, under
the neck, and he's like, hey, he goes, I got

(11:29):
to eat my double cutship pook chop over. It's gonna
get cold. So I said, as a dad, I said,
you know you're enjoying Eastern dinner. Yes, you you paid
a picture. It makes it look like your father is
like the Fred flintson of Brooklyn. Really, the whole entire
double bron Asaurus burgers getting cold. I just envisioned his

(11:53):
parents going, what are you doing? That's my mom? Why
are you doing this? My father rolls with it. My
mom is like to get it was filming every day.
The old line was what was the Madonna movie? It
was a documentary when she was with Warren what's his name?

(12:14):
Jesus God? Anyway, black and white one justified just yeah.
I don't remember, but they were doing a scene of
them in their kitchen when they were living together, and
there's a camera in there. He was like, can we
Madonna when she had the vocal cord problem and he
went to the doctor with her and she was filming
herself at the vocal cord exactly. But the point of
this is they were in her kitchen and the cameraman

(12:35):
was in there with him, and she's war Invaders, like,
can we just get rid of the camera. Madonna's is no,
we're making a video. And his line was, I guess
it's just not worth living if you can't have a
camera watching it. And I was like, he's right, you
can turn those cameras off. This weekend, it was called
why do it if you can't catch it on the camera.

(12:57):
I think that's one of the reasons they broke up
with He couldn't handle stuff like that anymore. It's like,
this is done. If you're listening to the audio of this,
please go to the instagram. Because when Scary was wrapping
up his conversation with his parents, you said, I guess
you have to film everything. He's like, yes, you do,
and he pointed it to Cameron smiled, how are you doing?

(13:19):
We're good. We gonna get out of here. You know,
the thoughts before we close this this thing down. I
