Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it is Wednesday, so that's the middle of
the week. It you know what happens in the middle
of the week, I do. It is time for Thors
midweek meltdown.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And now the show is happy to bring you. I
have some respect Thors midweek meltdown. Men.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I gotta tell you, I hate that we record this,
Like he performs for the camera like he like I
was thinking.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
He wears a special shirt.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well a lot of times he does. Today we record this.
I got a green blue shirt. Not today, no special shirt. Sorry,
but he was just like he looks at the camera, winked.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
At himself in the camera.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Weird. Does he need to stand up? I don't know. Anyway,
I always stand up for this, but only because I
got hyped.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, all right, what are you upset about this week?
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Oh? Yeah, yeah, you know this has been brewed for
a while. I had I make notes of meltdowns in
my notes section of my iPhone, and I write down
a lot of things, and sometimes I do it. Sometimes
I don't do it because I want to, like I
really want to let it marinate.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
That must be a scary place to be, that notes.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I was just going to reach Yeah, I got a
lot of notes. And what I do is I'll see
stuff and I want to wait like a week or
two before I rant about it. A if I need
to do research. B if I'm still angry, because I
got to be still angry. And here's something that I
saw recently because I thought about doing the La joya
(01:48):
BS that's going on with all those idiots trying to
leave San Diego County. Excuse me, the own their own town.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I mean, how much of the property taxes do we
pay for this whole county?
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Is there? Is there anything more rich or white than that?
So I didn't want to do that. I don't, I don't.
It just it makes my skin crawl talk about all
those karts, all these sky sky all those sky those.
But what I did is I'm driving around and I
see things all the time that annoyed me. This one,
(02:19):
this one, this one in particular. I'm tired of places
that have New York in front of their name, namely
pizza places. I'm tired of pizza places that have that
say New York. You know, insert the name New York,
Joe's New York, Chris Is, I'm that's a long island
in front of their name or New York style. That
(02:40):
really bothers me to I am tired of it because
I'm a pizza officionado. I think that could be set
on the show. I take my pizza extremely serious. I
know good pizza, Sicilian slice, thin crust slice, slices of
pizza that doesn't make you regular. Give me a pie
(03:04):
about stuff crust hell out here. You know stuff, You're
You're a true a whole for so, I think putting
New York in front of these names is a form
of cultural appropriation. Yes, I said, you have gone to Yes,
you have gone too far. There's no to far. There's
no difference. There's no difference than when I was a
(03:26):
kid and I wore Foo Boo or Sean John, which,
by the way, or I wore I wore Geuete sneakers
and people were like, what are you doing? You're not
from the hood, And I go, I know enough from
the hood. But I like this. But people were annoying me.
So I'm tired of it. It's like, picture of this, Emily,
you love tacos. You love tacos. So Emily goes to
(03:46):
Let's say Emily goes to New York, right, she would
be a disaster in New York, would not She moves
pretty fast, moves fast, she moves fast. But anyone's rude.
Door tears and no way. She had a couple of pops. Yeah.
You go to a place and you see a place
that says San Diego Tacos, and you go, let's go.
(04:07):
So you go into the San Diego Taco place, you
sit down, you take a bite of a Cali burrito,
and you know what I mean. I mean, okay, do
you not call it? When you go to a taco shop?
You don't get a burrito exactly. That's my point.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
But if they have taco in the.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Name, if you said San Diego Taco Shop, I would
have been all in.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Okay, So san Diego Taco Shop. Is that better? Yes,
it's San Diego Taco Shop. I'll change this Red'll change
this red real quick to you. Three. So, so you
order a California burrito and you're eating it and it
tastes terribly and they put letters in it, and you're like,
this isn't a California burrito, and you're annoyed because everyone
out here is telling you no, no, no, San Diego
(04:49):
Taco's shop in New York is the spot, and you're
from San Diego, so you're saying yourself, no, it's not.
This is terrible. That's how I feel about all these
New York places in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Go ahead, what you just described is correct. If we
did that, we went into a New York place, there
was San Diego taco shop and it didn't taste exactly
like San Diego, we would go, well, that's stupid. Why
are you calling you san Diego. What you're describing about
New York style pizza and New York whatever New York
(05:24):
John's as you said, or think or whatever. We are
not that stupid as people. We know that we're not
getting actual New York pizza.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I know you don't get that. But there could be
somebody from Arizona for spring break. You think that they
think somebody goes, hey, go to New York Jose for pizza.
That again, that literally makes no sense. Why would it
be called pizza? Are you out of your mind? And
then they go, man, this is it. I guess this
is New York style pizza. Now my and now my
culture looks it's culture. Here's the only way this works
(06:02):
is if you get approval from a New Yorker. So
I'm proposing, excuse me to go into all these New
York style places and try the pizza and then give
you the thumbs up. Like a rabbi goes to a
Kasher deli and he has to bless the delhi that
what makes it kosher? Is that a thing? Yeah, it happens,
(06:23):
That's why it's a didn't really is that true?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Well, they have to follow the specific.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Back in the day that was not just being but that.
I mean, I don't know West guy would know this
more than I would know this. I'm Jewish. My grandpa
owned a diner back in the day. From here. I know. Yeah,
I'm saying you're not.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I know, but I was just clarifying it's not just
the blessing. You have to actually the kosher rules.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Of Obviously, you can't serve baking out of kosher deli.
You can't really bad club because we don't need we
don't eat pig. It's pig. So anyway, so I'm going
to go into these New York style restaurants, these New
York child I'm going to try the pizza and I
(07:10):
will let you know if it's a New York styles
or not, and then you'll and then just like you
have like a rating of your your clean cleanliness, this
will be a thoor rating with the thumb up your
photo when it comes up. But two things.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Number One, nobody will get your thumbs up because you
don't believe any.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Pizza could It could be a spot. There could be
a spot. And also it's not just about the pizza, Edward,
I want when I walk in there, I want attitude
from the people behind the counter. I want you to
be rude behind the counter. Man, I want you to
have quick customer service. If it's New York, then it
needs to be more like New York. There needs to
(07:48):
be a weird lottery thing on the TV, you know
what I mean, like a bingo game going on. Yeah,
you gotta pick quick pick numbers while you eat pizza.
We need this. If you don't have this, then you'll
there'll be my sign thumbs down.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
And that's a double thumbs down.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Or you love Bronx pizza, what do you always.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Get the thumbs up pizza.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I don't want to do this. I don't want it.
It sounds like you're angling for free. People don't know
it's pizza. I don't want to do this, but I
have to do that. You don't. I will sacrifice for
the greater good of pizza, and I will make San
Diego better, one bite at a time. I don't think
(08:34):
you will.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I don't think that this is your job, and I
don't think that I think you want free pizza. I
think that's all you care about. You put your hands
down because this is not a thing.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
It is a thing.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You don't get to determine everything about pizza. Yes, I do.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Don't. What's next? Bagels? It don't come out if I
see a New York style bagel place? The place is that? Okay?
First of all, the place I love in New York
is called bagel Patch, and I thought it was hot bagels.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
The signs hot everybody that's just telling you what called
the billboards.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Have you ever been to beer the billboard? Hot bagels,
cold beer? Been there? Yeah, it's great. I love going
to cold beer.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Have you ever been to lottery? That's seven eleven?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Seven eleven doesn't say yeah, yeah, Let's see if I
see a New York style of bagel place that bagels
touched my heart even more more than pizza. Really, yeah,
because I'm Jewish.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Remember the cold coaster thing? Sorry, you guys touched bacon
in ten years? Just not out of Delhi anyway. I
don't think you get to be judge jury and.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Next, why not that? I don't understand why not I
lived in New York? Oh please live basically in Canada? Okay,
like a cup of coffee. And he's trying to say
it's didn't upstate upstate state New York. Is like saying
you're from San Diego, but you live in Lake Elsinore.
(10:08):
I live. I live in San Diego. Where are you
the Baker's fields? Okay, that's not true. That's true. That's
not true. What that's true? What I said I lived
in New York? Did I not? Is Rochester not in
New York? Just barely?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I folded my pizza when I yeah, okay, okay, basically Canadian.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
I feel like I could go around and determine whether
or not you're this was, this was? This was? I
don't know, Yeah, this wasn't this was. I don't know.
I don't know what. You don't know what I am.
You don't know what I am. What kind of comment
(10:55):
is that if you were this was? If this was
a like pasta dish thing you you're Italian. Pizza is
not Italian? Different? What are you doing? You don't know
what's different? This was because I already used the already
was the Mexican food example. I don't want to use
it again. What is he? Yeah, whatever he is, he
(11:15):
was gonna try. I get it. You better be careful. Man,
you lived in Dallas. You gonna start trying Texas food
to what is that barbecue? Texas food. I'm not talking
about turds. Okay. It's like San Diego, Mexican food over
that all day. So I think I'm open for business.
(11:38):
This is not a thing for business. You will get
the thor thumbs up door rating, door rating, and you
will be truly from a New York restaurant would be
New York style because of me. So thank you. Get
tired of it, tired if you're going to meet New York.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Chile, sorry, New York, Josey, those locations New York.
