people I went to Benni Hannah with.

I went with the Meninos. When's the last time you
were out of Benny Hannah.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
It's been a long time, right, but you've been yes,
oh yeah, a lot of times.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I loved the place. Oh, Benny Hannah's great when you've
gone to Benni Hannah. Sorry, what did you go for?

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Just a random dinner?

Speaker 1 (00:47):
So you just went to who went? Was it just
you and Scott? Or did you go with a group
of people? I think it was.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Was it for an event?

Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't think it was, like I think I've been
in the past for like a birthday maybe.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay, no, that's big.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
But we have done just like a random dinner, like
no special occasion.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Okay, that's fine.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I feel like most of the time when I've gone,
it's either been like when we went with the Meniinos,
so it was the four of us in the four Meninos,
so we took up a whole table.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
It was like a Sunday afternoon. We were like, let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Other times that I've been, it's been like, hey, like
when the boys were playing travel hockey and we were
on the road somewhere, it'd be like, hey, let's just
go to Bennie Hannah's and everybody would sit and they
would eat or whatever. But it was always for there
was always something big for a reason. Bennie Hannah may
have the best thing going right now, what do you

(01:42):
mean the guaranteed power lunch, What does that mean? It's
under twenty bucks. It's like fifteen ninety five in and
out in forty five minutes, or it's free.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Wows People think there's so much showmanship. Yeah, they takes Now,
I will say this.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
And and and you you're you kind of touch on something,
but you don't you get the show with everything but
the fried rice.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
That takes time.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
It does take time.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
So the fried rice is done, but other than that,
they're still doing They're still doing the volcano with the onion,
and okay, yes, they're still doing the shrimp. They're still
doing all the fun stuff. They're doing the veggies and
then the little flame chase and.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
All of that.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
You get the entire show minus the fried rice. You
get the entire show. Super salad. You're gonna tell me that.
They're like, uh oh, what is what?

Speaker 2 (02:40):
What is the is it?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
The's sesame dressing isn't one of the top five best
dressings of all time? It's awesome. So you get the
dipping sauces, you.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Get the soup.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Say again, yeah, soup soup salad, and then you yeah,
I mean again. The fried rice is already made. But
you get the fried rice, or you can get the peas,
and then you get I think there's an up charge
for the filelet, but other than that, which by the way,
is still under twenty dollars. But you get the shrimp,
you can get the chicken, or you can get like
the regular meat everything and that's fifteen ninety five and

(03:12):
forty five minutes in and out the door, or it's
free brilliant nineteen ninety five for the filet.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
They up charge your hair there the.

Speaker 4 (03:21):
Fleay is nice, but now you got me thinking about
the tang of that dressing.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
That dressing is great. Yes, that dressing is great.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
I said, I haven't had in years, but I could
taste it right now.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Twenty bucks for lunch at Benny Hannah. That's good, Benny Hannah.
I honestly didn't know Benny Hannah's were open for lunch.
The I thought it was just an afternoon and evening thing.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Because most people don't go.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
For fears it's going to take it.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
It takes a while, or you go for an event,
and so they don't say like, hey, hey, hey.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Mike, what do you want to do for lunch?

Speaker 5 (03:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I guess we'll just go to Kedoba again. But let's
go Benny Hannah.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Yeah. But some people hate the fact that you have
to sit at a communal table too.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
The go with a buddy who cares no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
But even if it's just two of you, they they
hate the fact being like like placed with like six
other people.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Go to any restaurant, there's gonna be people, right, But
go to child, go to Chipotle, there's people at a
table now, I mean.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Literally, the seat's not like that my napkin isn't in
their lap. But it's not like you're by yourself and listen.
You could go listen.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I don't like going to a Benny Hannah by myself,
but I definitely have gone where I don't have the
whole table.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Our group doesn't have the whole table. So what you
sit there? Big deal?

Speaker 1 (04:34):
You meet a couple of people, you're talking to your
buddy anyway, three of you, four of you, two of you.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You're in and out of there forty five minutes.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
And again if they mess it up, it's free and
it's under twenty bucks.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Is there any it's amazing? Look at the veggies, leak
at the veggies fantastic.

Speaker 4 (04:51):
Is there any sense of how many people they've had
to pay? Like has this?

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Oh? I have just no I that I don't know.
I've just seen that it's been very successful. And you
said it's you're guaranteed it's forty five minutes. Are they making.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
It just by the skin of their teeth or are
they clearing it out in thirty I don't know if
it's in thirty, but it's we're not They're.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Not made this like hurry you eat, horry you neat,
there's none of that. Well, remember was it Chili's that
used to give you the stopwatch? I don't remember that
Chili's used to give you the stopwatch for it was
like your food would be out in like twenty minutes
or whatever it was.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
And you would order and they would pop a stop watch.
This is genius. Now, someone, Christen, how have you never
been to a Benny Hannah.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Benny Hannah is said, christ Will you find me somebody
that's been to a Benny Hannah Plice eight six six
to Elliott eight six six two three five five four
six eight. I'd go to a Benny Hannah Right.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
Now, someone's asking if the weight to be seated counts
in the forty five minutes. Um, you know what, Now,
maybe it's not his crowded at lunch, but sometimes you
did have to wait and look at the coy pond
and the Buddhist statues and sort of take in the decor.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
You know what, I don't know the I don't know
the answer to that, says I grew I'm reading here.
I grew up going to Benni Hanna for special occasions,
but I haven't been in the last twenty five years.
We used to enjoy the entertainment of the chef throwing
shrimp tails into his hat with the metal spatch list,
stacking onion rings into a mini volcano and lighting it
on fire.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
But the best part was the dinner.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
The way.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Do you know who brought Benni Hannah to the US?

Speaker 3 (06:42):
HM?

Speaker 2 (06:43):
So it started?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Is it a restauranteur? Is it like a somebody else?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Benni Hannah was started by you know Sucky Aoki, you
know y Un s U k e Unisuki Nuk started
in Tokyo and the nightineteen forties, later expanded to New
York by his son, Hiraki Aoki, the father of famed

(07:09):
DJ Steve.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Aoki, and got money. That how awesome is that? Whoa?
They don't even have cake on their menu? Really?

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Yeah, Steve Aoki's dad brought Benny Hannah or.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
No, or his grandfather or grandfather?

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Yeah, I think you read it as grandt brought Benny
Hannah to the States.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Benny Baby, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
Do you agree with this? It's it's a raw deal
for the cooks. Why they say they feel bad for them?

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Oh, because they don't get to do all of like,
really go full force with their show.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
I know. I think it's because they're under the gun.
Oh I don't. I don't think so. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
No, listen that that that tabletop is so hot they
could be done cooking for you in five minutes.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
No, no, I'm being serious.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, so instead of having to do the whole dog
and pony show and let's keep flipping and let's keep
flipping and doing the whole thing.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
It gets them. They're not rushing. Hugh says.

Speaker 4 (08:17):
Bennigan's did to stop watch thing for a while too.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
For lunch. I hated it. Why because he worked there?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Oh oh, I thought you mede because he went there
as a as a as a as a customer, oh
for the for.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
The So the staff may not like this.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
If it's getting you know what, you know what, it's
better than going out of business because nobody's coming in.
That's fair nobody. Benny Hanter is great. But I can't
tell you the last time. Listen, every couple has the
same fight. I don't know, what do you want to
do for dinner? At no point in the last five
years has Jackie looked at me and been like, oh,

(08:55):
what about Benny Hannah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I'm gonna go to Arlington, Kbam. Do you want to
go to all lined you want? Like all the places
we love?

Speaker 1 (09:03):
At no point is Jackie looked me in the eyes
and said, you know what, baby, take me.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
To Benny Hannah. Everyone's saying that, But I think you're right.
I think the perceptions it takes forever. It's so expensive
twenty bucks.

Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah, we're getting away from the price on this too.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Less it's fifteen ninety five, you're out for under twenty bucks.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Everyone's mentioning the stopwatches and how they would need this
to ensure they're not lying about the time? Were these
in my picturing right? Like the pe teachers stop watching.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Around the neck? So, I don't know. I don't know
what Bennett.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
The timers more like cooking time.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Cooking timers is what Chili's had.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
They would set it on the table and when you ordered,
they'd hit it. Wasn't it like the twenty the twenty
minute meal deal or something like that.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
I didn't even know they did it, Yeah, but I
want to say it was.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Maybe I'm wrong about the name, but yeah, they had
a timer and they would pop it and they knew that.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
That's how much time it was. And by the way,
it may have been thirty minutes, it may have been
fifteen minutes. And how far back does this go?

Speaker 1 (10:08):
This goes way back, This goes way back, like not
when Jackie was working there.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
I don't see it as the details are laid out.
Benihana one and are all I've I've only been to Benihanna,
are all like if you have that style Japanese steakhouse.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Kabuki, are you it's not that? Wait? What is it called? Yeah,
it is a kabuki steakhouse. Isn't it hibasi?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
No?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Isn't it?

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I feel like I've heard kabuki before.

Speaker 4 (10:42):
Kabuki is an art like a I'm not saying it.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
We used correctly.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
But what was it called? When? What is that?

Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, Elliott, that's bukaki.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
By the way, thanks for getting it on my pantomon
very hard.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
No.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Isn't it kabuki?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
No?

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Yes? Yes?

Speaker 4 (11:05):
In eighth grade, I painted my face what remember? No,
that's flower drum song. That was a musical. I also
donned a traditional Japanese robe and painted my face to
mix drama and dance for mister PISA's social studies class.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Let's bring the geishas in. No, I was not that.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
I can pull up a photo not of me, because
you you you, you would cancel me. This stuff I
said during the draft may have been iffy, but we
can't be sharing that photo.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
No, But isn't Diane the one that we went to
in West Virginia.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Wasn't that a kabuki steakhouse? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (11:52):
So they also performed and I don't mean that artwork.
But kabuki is a form of Japanese theater.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yes, and this is a form of Japanese theater, the
dining theater.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
So this is not exactly what I looked like.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Face.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
There's a couple of kabuki Japanese steakhouses. There's one in
Christiansburg down near Radford.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
But what are they doing there? They're eating dinner. They
just you know what it is.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
It's it's it's an incorrect use of a term.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
They're calling the restaurant kabuki. Yes, kabuki steakhouse. No, no, No,
that's the style.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
It's the name. Okay, Okay, well it's you know what
it is.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
We're Benny Hanna's, but we can't use their name. That's
what it is what do you want to call it?

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Kabuki? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Yeah, So the picture, if anyone else is on Wikipedia.
There's a black and white photo showing Oh no cuckoo
the sixth.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
And here's Tyler. Come on into, mister pace.

Speaker 4 (13:00):
My robe, mister Pisa, My robe was not checkerboard like that. Again,
it's a black and white photo, so maybe a chessboard,
but again the makeup was pretty similar.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Will you connected for Diane?

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Oh, she can't see no, so I thought it was
on the screen.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Do I have your consent? Yes? Where are you in
cultural appropriation? Come on in, Tyler, that's not me, mister Pisa,
will see you for the whole class. Did you have
to ride the bus like that? I believe I was

(13:40):
dropped off, and I'll tell you why. I can I.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Can?

Speaker 2 (13:44):
I guess? Can I guess? Mother? Please drop me off
so they don't beat me.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Mother. I think the eyebrows are a bit nutch.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh, mother, don't know where we gotto, mother, mister robot ho, mother?

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Maybe we listen to sticks to the whole drive in.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm trying to find the name of it. But the
reason I do believe I was driven and is because
I also and this is where sticklers are going to say,
that's not part of kabuki theater. But I also brought
an instrument and I played mother.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Drum with the little like ping pong balls.

Speaker 4 (14:38):
Mother, here's my instrument, gong. Now what I did was I.

Speaker 3 (14:51):
I've placed it on my back so the football players
will just punch.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
It to make noise.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
Come on, it's in middle school. My father always said,
presentations everything you'll remember. Two years earlier, in sixth grade,
I got third place in the science fair without doing
an experiment because my setup, my trifle board looked so good,
and I had homemade speakers that played the music from
the Droid Disney experience, and took one of those circus

(15:22):
fiber optic looking fun flashlights and put another mirror like.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
Paper or.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
Piece of plastic in front of it to reflect the light.
And again I didn't do an experiment, and I still
was on the podium for this the reason.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Mother tell him to suck it. I placed third. I
didn't even do an experiment. Mother, May I try a
different experiment when I get home?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Mother? Can I try an experiment? Mother? Can I dress
as a kabuki and get beat up?

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Now I know My mother for years referred to it
as a Japanese banjo, but that is incorrect.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
It wasn't a.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Gone Japanese I know exactly what she's talking about.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
I don't. Oh, is it like it's got like the
two What did they call that?

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Oh? It's like every what is it the like? In
every like? Like every Japanese Western they would have those.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Honestly, it's more I have to It's more like if
you were to take an instrument from bluegrass. It's more
like a Japanese steel guitar that I brought and it
was I gotta find a picture of it.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Was it the koto? I don't now, I don't I
think Kris is that right? Mom? Well now, my mom, mother, Mother,
the boys will hit me in my koto? The koto?
I was? Was that the instrument? Does anyone know?

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I'm gonna guess it was a type of flute.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
Do you remember the name of the song you played?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
No? I do not. I just I think I just missed. No,
I did not play. That would have been offensive.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh, mother, I know all the solos through turning Japanese.
Oh I really think so.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
Oh my god, my stomach hurts.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Oh timmy says drink pepto p in his thermost if.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
It if it wasn't the koto, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
It just but it was.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
It was big enough that they needed my mom to
drive me to school. I couldn't bring it on the bus.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Yeah, you could have.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
You wouldn't have taken it off the bus well, not
through the door, not in one piece.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
And if it wasn't the koto, I apologize because I'm
gonna find a photo of it this afternoon. But you're
sure it wasn't the gong.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
I know it wasn't a gog.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
Your mom is right Japanese bamm.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Japanese frying pan.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
No. But what I was saying was I combine two
things that were maybe even anachronistic, but definitely didn't the
performer who was doing the dance wouldn't also be playing
the instrument. But I got an a on the project.
So once again, my dad's rule reigned supreme presentations everything.

(18:49):
Sorry about the substance?

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Where am I going? Line three? Hi, Ellie in the morning.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
Hey, it's not not kabuki. It's kaki. Who it's Tappin'
Yaki is the style of aibachi cooking with the steak
the Japanese states.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
You know what, I think that's right. But but Yaki
tapping Yaki. However, Iden Yaki tapped in Yaki.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I do believe, though, that the name of the restaurant
was the Kabuki Steakhouse.

Speaker 6 (19:21):
That might actually be true. That kabuki is, actually, as
Tyler said, is a style of theater or opera, thank you,
which includes masks and face painting and that kind of thing.
Remember someone else kabuki?

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Wait, I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
There was once was a wrestler Tyler would might know
this who was in the nineteen seventies and eighties called
mister Kabuki.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Yeah, the great kabuki. Yep.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's all right, very good, very good, Thank you, sir,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
He also painted his face.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Line five, Hi Elliott the morning.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Hi? Who sing that song? Why is it bothering me?
Who's sang? Turning Japanese papers?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's it? That's it. I'm sorry. Who's this?

Speaker 7 (20:08):
Hi? This is Jessica.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Hi, Jessica, how are you good?

Speaker 7 (20:12):
I'm doing well good?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yes. At this point I have no idea what you're
calling about.

Speaker 7 (20:17):
I'm calling because I know the names of the Japanese instruments.
I think you guys are talking about.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Oh, yes, tyler playing.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Well, the koto is the one that looks like a
harpsichord and it's like flat on your lap.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
Which Japanese banjo?

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Oh that's a shammy fen. That's a shamy fen. It
looks like it looks like a guitar. Right, it's a
it's like and it has a plane playing playing like
you all were. That's a shammi fen. And then there's
a Japanese flute type thing that looks like a recorder.
And that's a different that's probably even funnier to you all.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
But I don't like that. Chi. Yes, that's free. No, no, no,
it's not similar, does it doesn't? Does it?

Speaker 1 (21:09):
Chris say that talk shocku han gi?

Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's similar? No?

Speaker 7 (21:17):
No, yeah, like a recorder if you see a picture,
yeah yeah yeah, but the tyler was playing.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
I think she knows there's yeah, how do you know
all of this?

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (21:34):
I did the Japan Exchange and Teaching program like twenty
years and thirty years ago.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
When I'm sorry, you did what I did.

Speaker 7 (21:42):
I did the Japan Exchange and Teaching program, so I
lived in Japan school.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
So you didn't just you didn't do all of this
fors class yet program, right, the.

Speaker 7 (21:52):
Jet program exactly. I've lost to you guys forever. But yeah,
whenever you have a japan question, I'm like, I'm gonna
call it and tell you.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Oh, I'm glad you did. I'm glad you did. All right,
very good? Married all right, very good. Yes.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
And so somebody is saying, maybe it's the guzang, but
I'm pretty.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Sure is that Chinese.

Speaker 3 (22:15):

Speaker 4 (22:20):
It may be none of these, but it was. It
was again, it was captivating.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Hi, Elliott the morning. Hello, Yeah, Hi, who's this?

Speaker 5 (22:36):
This is Michael from Richmond.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
Yes, what can I do for you?

Speaker 5 (22:40):
You were talking about the Japanese banjo bluegrass has actually
made quite a resurgence in Japan. I was reading up
on this not too long ago because I saw a video, No,
I saw a video online of like these guys in
like a Japanese bar, and they had like an English
or American I should say, like country sense, and I

(23:01):
read that it came from World World War two when
we used to broadcast our radio stations like around there
on base or whatever.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (23:09):
Sure, I just thought that was pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
And so they love billy strings gone.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
All right, very good, Thank you, sir, thank you.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
All right, let's do this. What's wrong now? Now?

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Absolutely no one is helping?

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Have they veered off from all the help? I was offering?

Speaker 1 (23:38):
What?

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Hell?

Speaker 2 (23:38):
My god?

Speaker 4 (23:39):
People, I didn't again, and I will. Here's here's where
you're going to be.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Oh they're gonna feel foolish.

Speaker 4 (23:50):
No, but people are asking about a wig I considered.
So I had eight Gene Simmons mask, like a latex
mask that had the hair jean the way he always
wore his hair ponytail up, a high pony sort of like.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
He.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
I did think had I was going to cut the
hair off of the mask, yes, and wear it with
my makeup, but decided against it because it seemed insensitive.
So I just stuck with the makeup and the robe.
I didn't have a dog. And this is clearly a

(24:36):
wind instrument. I told you that there were strings of waite.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
No I did I know. I didn't play a flute.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
You know, it was great to hear because I listened
to a lot of the Chess musical yesterday did well.
Those of us excited about it coming to Broadway and
there's so much obo isn't Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
You, thank you?

Speaker 4 (25:01):
Yeah, and Nicholas Christopher but there's so much obo on
that and Murray Head obviously famous for One Night in Bangkok, But.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's true. I don't you remember that songs? But it
doesn't make you think of the joke. Hey, Tyler, what's
the capital of Taiwan?

Speaker 2 (25:35):

Speaker 4 (25:37):
All I was saying is and I understand it's read it,
but I but I love an obo.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
I used to. I was funny. I got it, I
got it.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
My friend Matt played that in middle school, not during
my kabuki presentation, but.

Speaker 3 (26:17):
It's funny, just when you think he can't take himself
even deeper.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
You didn't have friends who played the did your sister play?
She played bursue? And that's right, that's right, much larger, right,
Also not my friend I played soccer with them.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Does that make it better? Okay? All right?

Speaker 4 (26:41):
It was just honestly, and I know, okay, it's just
in these moments, a couple people are very much seen
by what I say.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
And if you love kabuki, God blessed.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
If you love, if you love, my mom will give
you a ride to school so you don't have to
hear about it on the bus.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
If you love Chess the musical, or if you love
the Obo, in this moment you feel special.
