Speaker 1 (03:29):
So we went to a toy store and he like
picks up a boomerang and he's like, I know what
I'm getting you for Christmas, Boomer.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
The first time I heard boomer, I immediately thought of, uh,
you're you Remember when like white comics would wrap Oh good, Yes,
that was the first thing I thought of. I was like,
just that thing that is just so painfully uncool, you know.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, yes, which I don't know because I I have wrapped,
but I don't. I like to think that I'm cool,
like like in the way that I do.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Of course.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, you're like, wait, this has gone from a Christmas
bonus to an intervention.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, like there, let's crack out your old problem photo
and see how cool you actually.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Exactly No, but you're right though, because when I started
my comedy, I was in you know, I was like
in my late teens early twenties, and I'd see these
dudes that were like, you know, a little bit quite
a bit older, and they would be like they'd have
a okay, y'all, I'm gonna start rapping, and they'd have
like a cassio drum machine. Do do Do Do Do
Do Do Do Do do doot and they put on
some ray bands and be like, well, my name is Bob.

(04:39):
I'm here to say I came to rap and make
you laugh.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Today, and you know, in a major way.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
A major way. Yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. They would do
like these these really corny, simple raps, and I was
I used to hate it because I felt like a
diluted what I was doing, because my wraps were also simple, artistic.
Mine were artistic, I know they were. Actually, let me
tell you this. I don't think i've told this story
on the podcast. Before I did stand up comedy, I

(05:08):
used to. I actually did used to wrap, and it
was you know, even I want to It was definitely before,
way before Eminem and I used to wrap, way before
Vanilla Ice you know made it big, right, I might
have wrapped.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You were like the Eminem of Fresnel.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Eminem on Fresno, right exactly. So I didn't really Yeah,
they didn't even We didn't even hear about Eminem and
Fresne until like three years ago.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh no, like this is great.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Hi, my name is Oh my gosh, this is so cool.
Twenty nineteen. No, no, no, but I used to wrap
in the eighties. I get high school and it was
you gotta remember I had shock red hair boom, just giant, big, bright,
super duper bright red hair. In fact, I remember the
first time I saw my own reflection and our and
our and our and the window of one of our

(05:55):
of our home, and uh, it was you know, so
I was outside the sun's reflecting. I was just like,
oh my that my hair is so bright like I've
seen I've seen my own hair like you know obviously,
like in the mirror at home, but it's like, you know,
it's like bathroom You're used to that, Yeah, you're used
to it, But to see your own reflection, especially bright
red hair, I was like, and you know, pale white skin.

(06:16):
I was like, oh no, wonder you know, because I
grew up in a blue collar, you know, predominantly Latino neighborhood,
and they were like.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
I should be exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I was like, I get it now, I get it.
So I was like, you know, because I was back
in those you know, it was a rooster or like
Blondie was popular. It was a ready, ready made what's
a ready it was all ready? Oh dude. They used
to call me red. What does re ready made mean?
That means like ready made lemonade or something.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah. I think they just meant it's something that sounds
like red.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah. Yeah. I was like, what if I get insulted?
Like forty years later, I'm like, is that what they meant?
Those sons of bitches? Because I think it was like
Blondie either, like a ready or they'd call me like
what else match dick rooster guyo. But even before that,
it was like all those redhead stuff, right, And I
remember like even our coach, like the football coach will

(07:10):
called a red. But I but I realized, like it
just depends on how the person says it. Like sometimes
they mean it like in a nice way like a
red are you gonna do this? Or they don't mean
it like you finish exactly, They're not gonna, They're not
insulting you. So when I saw myself with that bright
red hair was like, oh my gosh, it was like,
so imagine then.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Now I'm pretty sure these were all insults exactly.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I know. Yeah, well no, it was different when like
the girls will call you're like I red, Like You're like,
oh yeah, she acknowledges me. She doesn't know my name,
but she sees what she knows, what's in front of her,
and it's red, which is weird. That does definitely affected my,
you know, my outlook on certain things, even like board games.

(07:56):
When we're playing board games and you can choose a color,
I would always choose red.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
I'm red. You know.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
When I'd go to Vegas.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, play silly for anywhere else to.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Right, Like we play roulette'd always bet on red. I
mean I was just like you know, I remember I'd
wear red, am I on testing days, like in school,
like on Fridays, I'd like, I gotta wear my lucky color.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
You know you did not wear a lucky color to get.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
I did, man, I didn't. I see, everyone else did
their homework and studied, and I just I'm going to
depend on colors.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
I've got a rabbits and it's rid just.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Exactly. So. So here's another thing, Mike. So as you
you know, as I've become a father, now, my son
his favorite color when we play is red, and I
just had to give it up. I'm like, you know,
you gotta pass that torch. No pun intended, but you gotta.
I'm like, you play red, I'll play whatever, you know, but.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Like it's what do you play now now that he's red?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well, we play aggravation a lot, and and in the
aggravation game, he chooses the red marbles. So directly across
from the red marbles is where I'm usually sitting, and
that's usually yellow, and so I picked right yellow. So
I picked the yellow marbles and I like it because
it really stands out on that board. Yeah, but when
you're when you're a kid, you're probably not choosing yellow.

(09:11):
You're not like, I want to play yellow. You know
that's not really No.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
When you're a kid, yellow it's just peepy.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, exactly, it's like you know. But yeah, as an adult, Yeah,
as you get older, you're like, oh, I like yellow
because I can see the marble better.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Now it's still peepy. Yeah, you're gonna be one hundred
and fifty and it's still going to be like yellow.
It is tee. I don't want to be on te peepee.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Did you ever do this? Did you ever get into purple?
Because Prince it was all about purple? No wow.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
I mean I respected that that was his thing, but
I was like, I don't. That doesn't mean I need
to do it.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
So you're stronger willpower than I am. I'm like, enough
of this red. I'm all about purple. I think I
was in a purple for a little bit, but I
actually bought a Paisley shirt in the eighties.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I did dress like Michael Jackson a lot as a kid.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
See there you go.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
But it was like on Halloween and stuff like that,
not like, oh, you know, I didn't wear a sequin
glove everywhere.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
You know, it's funny. I did it in high school.
I didn't wear it everywhere, but I did wear like
I remember one day wearing the high Waters with the
white socks. Especially. You realize he had like sequins. You know,
are they called sequins?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah, like you know, I mean he had like a
professional stylist. I was just wearing my white, my white
j C. Penny socks or whatever, and my seears high
Waters tough skins. But I remember having the high Waters
the Penny loafers, and I had like a red jacket
that kind of looked like the Thriller jacket but really wasn't.
It was just like that pleather looking And I remember

(10:50):
I found this glove in our garage that was white
and it had some black beads on the I want
to say the back or maybe the front somewhere they
had black beads like rubber and uh. And I was like,
this is so cool. So I remember like wearying that
little yeah you're a combo, and I remember breaking out
the glove and because I could always do the Michael voice,
you know, not the singing part as well, but like

(11:12):
the thank you, I want to I want to thank
you palm and love her not a fighter. And after me,
she says, you couldn't love another girl of mine?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Michael, Yeah, everything, Michael.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh, let me look up the lyrics girl is Mine lyrics.
Michael'll do my best impression, Michael.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
As you can see, that's Linda McCartney. That's why. Oh yeah, exactly,
clearly my girl.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Every night she walks round in my dreams. Since I
didn't really sing like him, but I could, you know,
because there's real singers. I can sing.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
What do you do for? Michael?

Speaker 1 (11:51):
The girl is mine because the dog on girl of mine.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Mine.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, I don't understand.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
The way you think.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, then Paul would come in. I don't understand the
way you think saying that she's yours, not mine, sending
roses and your silly dreams really just the waste of
time because she's mine, because the dog akirls mine. Don't
waste your time.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
She's mine.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
No, she's mine alone. I love you, Mine, and Kee,
I'll take you anywhere. I love you endlessly, exactly, come
and go. I just remember the arguing part where they
were like Paul, I think Michael like, yeah, Paul, I

(12:45):
think I told you I'm a lover, not a fighter. Okay,
here we go, Michael. We're not going to fight about this. Okay,
it's at the end.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Pa.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I think I told you I'm a lover, not a fighter.
I've heard it all before, Michael. She told me that
I'm her for lover, you know, don't you remember? We'll
have to love of me. She says she couldn't love another.
Is that what she said? Yeah, she said, you keep dreaming, idn't.
I don't believe it. No, the girl is mine anyway,

(13:17):
So thank you, yay, yay. Yeah, it's over.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
But yeah, So meanwhile, Paul McCartney was secretly buying up
all of Michael's music. No, it was the other way, well, the.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Other way around, right his music. He was, you should
have been like, your catalog is mine on my line.
I don't think you understand Paul, that catalog is mine. Yay, Michael,
what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Yeah? And Paul had like taught him how to do that,
and he was like, I'll do it all right, and yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
He's like yeah, oh yeah, har says it was found
financially advised that McCartney may have come to regret giving
on August fourteenth, nineteen eighty five, when Michael Jackson purchased
a publishing right to the vast majority of the Beatles
catalog for forty seven million dollars, out bidding McCartney himself.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Wow the girl is Michael's.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Wow. Well, I guess you got her now, Michael, you
got her?

Speaker 2 (14:23):
All I've got is forty seven Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
I didn't have enough to bid. Oh man, that's that's uh.
I wonder if they were friends after that.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
Michael caught fire shortly after that too, so.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
I put a I'll put a spell on you, Michael.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
You know, like, yeah, why.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
Was I talking about having bright red hair? Where did
that come about? What was the thing? What was I saying?
I saw myself in the mirror, the reflection outside. I
don't recall why I was bringing that up.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
But you know what a lot of people do is
when they're recording a conversation, they rewind.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah. I wish I don't have that ability. My friend,
you ask to what had happened you special guests Christmas
guit Okay, let me think what was I saying? Red hair?
My favorite color is red? I'm outside the reflection bomb.
I don't have no idea, oh rapping. There we go rapping.
We're talking about rapping, right, so right, right, that's what
they used to call me. But I didn't like that name,

(15:26):
and in fact, the name that I chose, I'm glad
I dropped because you'll find out why as soon as
I tell you. I was gonna go by the name
the Carrot Top Kid kt k oh wow. Yeah. And
that was before I realized on the other side of
the country there was a prop comic named Carrot Top,
so I don't want And for a second there I
was gonna be called the Shamrock something about the shamra
and I was gonna have a song called the Shamrock Shake,

(15:48):

Speaker 2 (15:51):
The name is mine exactly.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
I just get sued left and right. I didn't know
anything about that back then. See that's the thing when
you're young, like that, naive, you just create. You don't
think about, well, I can't use that that's a melody,
or I can't use this it's a copywritten and you
just do it right, you know, you're just what if
this podcast because I sing that, so whatever, I don't
think I sang good enough for to the out for

Yeah, So I don't think I think you're like clear.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Yeah no, yeah, the algorithm or whatever it is that
they're not gonna do it. Was Michael Really on that
podcast with Mike Black.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, I give them all the money you made off exactly.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Oh yeah, okay guys, yeah it's forty seven million and
one cent.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
So yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
I so I did this rap battle at school, and
uh it was great. There was a rap there was
a school assembly. This kid he came out from New York.
His name was cool Rock Jay. It was a new student,
black kid with the trench coat and ray bands. And
he'd be on stage and he would be like cool
rock Jay, Cool Rock Jay, and then he would do
his lyrics right, and so I remember. So, so he

(16:59):
came up to me time and he was like you
someone someone told me you think you could wrap? No no,
And I was like, uh, yeah I could, I could rap.
But I didn't know what he meant by that. I
thought he wanted to see my nightmare.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
I know. Someone said, yeah, misunderstanding.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
Yeah, because he said it kind of like in a
you know, bravado kind of like that's why, that's where
I learned the word bravado. By the way, it was
that day my friend carled Dolphaim was like, he was like,
tell me how different styles of rappers like they have
the self doubt. He goes, you're more self deprecating. That's
more bravado and sudden, yeah, you can't be doing a
wrap ottle just burning on yourself the whole time, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (17:40):
Oh god, no, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Not what they came for. They came for blood, you know.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, what happened.

Speaker 1 (17:49):
So I so he called me out. He goes, let's
have a rap ottle. There was like a certain day,
I don't know if it was that day or the
next day, and I was like, got my lyrics together
and so I go outside. And back then it was
such a shock to see me rap that people. I
would always, I would always you know, when I did it,
people liked it. It was just it was so unique,
you know, and I'd beat box do my little thing.

(18:11):
And then so uh, I remember, I basically go, I
need a pair of sunglasses. They go, he need some song.
I'll give some sunglasses, And everybody gathered around me in
the courtyard. It was like a circle, almost like there
was gonna be like a fight or like a break
dancing type of thing. And they gathered around and I
remember putting on the sunglasses imitating him and which already started,
and the lyrics. I said something in this rap out
of lot. I was like, I go where you say

(18:31):
you're from New York, but you're really just a dork
like Porky Pig or Piggy Pork. You're cool rock ja
jas dance for jokes and but that. But that's all, folks.
But I did it a little bit better, and like
I should, like you said, I probably should have wrote
it down, but I did my little rap cool rock J. Well,
my name is Dammer and Carter and I'm the party
starter and you you cool rock J and Jay and

(18:53):
I did it and and everybody's like ah, and they're
like doing cartwheels running around and then cartwheels. Yeah, well,
you know, figuratively and literally, no figuratively, it was like
the Blues Brothers scene when they're in church. But but
it was.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
And they carried me out of the cafeteria.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Exactly for he he's a jolly good fellow for he's fello,
so they so he's a jolly good rapper.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
So then is that the mayor was the key to
the city for exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
So I did that rap, you know, and I had
other raps that I did. Oh yeah, I let up,
and so like uh uh like here's here's another one
of my wraps. Oh yeah, we were talking about corny
white wraps. Okay, but you got do You do have
to remember this is back in the eighties. So this
is his style back then where I'd be like, I'd
be like when I was a kid, my hair was black,
but then something happened, something went whack, some little pushed
me in my back and made me fall into a

(19:45):
strawberry patch. Now the corn had ears, hurt, eye was raw,
the potatoes had eyes, and dug what they saw? The
yams like my jam said it was sweet and Libby
Libby Libby. They like the steady beat. Everybody say ho
ho ho ho huh green giant, So I do that,
like the jelly green giant. And then sometimes I throw

(20:07):
in some Spanish. I'd say, how that one go? The
renal car, I'd go, uh, well, my name, Oh hold on,
somebody's trying to call in right now they can just wait.
I'd say, mia'mo to go. I'll blow espanel this by alone.
But you can't tell Moue movie be in part of
Moe movie ma. But I still get down and I'm

(20:30):
wrapping in Spanish, but I'm not down one, So kick
off the box because now I'm on, and I pick
a girl and I go, I see yeah, I saw yeah,
I get you, I got you your mom forever, little
go go chop yeah, which is all the words I
strung together from Spanish one on one class.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
But uh, you know, but crazy, it's crazy.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Now you remember when you're like sixteen seventeen. It's cute
and everything. But so back to that wrap battle when
I wrapped against the guy.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Wait, have you done any of this on stage?

Speaker 1 (20:59):
I think I did some of it on stage, but
maybe I could bring it back and just tell the
story as opposed to back then I used to perform
it like.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
You were just doing it legitimately.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah, egitimate legit. I would just grab the mic and
be like when it was a kid, and then I
would just move on.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
But now I can tell what's happening.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
What's happening? He's what's this guy? Doing I'll show you
how to wrap you middle act, because all the middle
acts were I'm the MC just barely doing comedy. But
I can rap, you know. But yeah, so yeah, maybe
you think I should. I should probably bring it back
to stage, right, bring it back on, tell the story
around it.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I think so.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
So when I did the U the rap battle, here's
the only reason I won technical stoppage, I guess because
I did my thing. Everyone's everyone was making so much noise.
Oh my god, my God's crying, you know, just going
like that, going nut's like, oh he got you, he
got you.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Cool, right, he got you.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
And then the principal came over and was like, what's
going on here? All right, let's break it up. Just
burst dispurse. So he really never got a chance to
fire back at me.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
You to this day have not heard his raps.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Uh from what I understand, dude, I went to New York.
I remember going to New York in ninety two and
I looked in the ninety nine cent band of Albums
and I literally saw one of his rap out. He
actually made a rap album and it was in the
dollar bin. But hey, that's still that's still an accomplishment.
You know, so, yeah, shout out to cool rock JH.
I think I looked him up once and there he
does have a song out there, at least a single

(22:25):
Cool Rock j if you guys can find it, sent
it to me K O O L. I don't even
know his real name, sadly because we sort of were
friendly after that, like he yeah, that might have been right. Yeah,
I remember he did rap. I wouldn't say against me,
but he did do like a rap thing, maybe like

(22:46):
the next week, but it was and he was really
good and he went for he was like rapping for
a really long time. And I was thinking to myself, like,
I'm so glad like that thing broke up last week
because I became a hero in tenth grade and then
as people only saw me, you do my thing. And
then when I saw this guy wrap it, I'm like, oh, yeah,
he's way better than me. And then at the end
he did this clever thing where he'd written the letter

(23:07):
J on his on the palm of his hand. He
was like, yeah, start clapping, so I stop rapping. We
ain't on the ship, but I'm still the captain. And
he was doing his little wrap thing and he goes bah,
blah blah blah to it from La to the Bay.
Remember my name, it's cool Rock. And then he opened
up his hand J and there was like in sharpie
it was written J. And everyone was like, oh damn.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
And also it was all sweaty and gross.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
No, it was great. He'd been doing this for a
long ass time. He's really good at it. And I
was just like, I remember just like, oh, that's really good.
And I'm just like I don't know what happened. I
just remember like just thinking like oop, gulp. I'm glad
I didn't like have to battle wrap this guy.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
You know, what if he'd had like a pocket full
of glitter?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Oh damn, dude, I know.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Stuck his hand and then I got a fistful of glitter.
Money was I remember asking.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I remember asking when.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
All the twitter all over everybody.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Yeah and no, yeah, what if he goes you heard
what I said, you glad you ain't dead. I heard
that your favorite color is And then he goes red
and then blows all this poof this glitter in my.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Face, Like what what?

Speaker 1 (24:16):
And my hair is still shinier than the red glitter. Yeah,
that was I remember asking my buddy because my friend,
Carl was from Oakland, but he moved to Fresno and
I was like, but think Sammy Davis junior. He in fact,
he was a Sammy Davis junior lookalike for a while,
so you know, he wasn't. But but I asked him.
I go, I go, is this going to lead you

(24:37):
like a fight or something? And he goes, no, No,
its just wrap, you know, because I had that same
kind of like energy of like, yo, man, I heard
you could wrap. Someone told me you thought you could rap,
and I was like, yeah, you know, yeah so but
it didn't. It was cool, and I do remember him saying,
like he asked me one time, just one on one.
He's like, let me ask you a question. He goes,
what possessed you to think you could challenge me in

(24:59):
a rap? And I was like I really I felt
I had nothing to lose, you know, like you were
like everyone knows you're like the best rapper and if
I lost, no big deal. And he's like, good point,
good point. That was like that's all I remember about
our conversation. Now I really want to look this guy
up again, man, see how he's doing, because I.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
But it's chalent to me. It sounded more like he
challenged you than the other way around.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's true, that's true. But I guess why did that
you accept my challenge?

Speaker 2 (25:29):
Oh? I see yeah, Oh you don't have a choice.
You have to.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yeah, I had. I had to, man, because there was
no other I was. This was my calling. Bro.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Can you imagine though, going through school after that and
having done oh no, no, thank you.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
No thank you all just keep my wraps to my
own social circle circle, I know. And also because I
kind of went more like the funny way, because I
went more comedy wraps, I went more just comedy. I
dropped a rapping and went you know, so I kind
of didn't. I wasn't trying to be a serious rapper,
especially when people started rapping along to like music and beats.
I was like, I'm out, man, I just do a

(26:06):
cappella style bro, Like right, you know what I'm saying.
So I got a song I gotta I got a
quick question for you. Do you ever get a song
stuck in your head and you're like, oh, I remember
that song and today the song not even not even
a Christmas song, It was just some weird song. Do
you remember this song? It was called beer barrel polka,

(26:27):
roll out a barrel, We'll have a barrel of fun.
Have you ever heard that song?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
I don't believe I've heard that song.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Oh maybe not the way I'm doing it, but it's
been used a lot in pop culture. And you hear
like with an accordion and it's like, roll out the barrel,
We'll have a barrel of fun. So anyways, I was wondering, like,
what do you think that song is about?

Speaker 2 (26:50):
And well, tough to say about a big beer manufacturer.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
That's what I was thinking. So I don't know. Here
we I googled it and we still don't know the answer.
But here's what it says. It says, depending on the
version you hear, this rollicking, rollicking polka tune is either
about recalling a lost love or getting your pals together
and getting smashed.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
I think it's mostly that second.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Yeah, I do too, I do too.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
But I think it's people that have like a like
a Guinness or one of those kind of companies where
they actually have barrels of beer. Yeah, they roll out
a barrel and we'll all get drunk on it, you know.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, if you go to Urban Dictionary, says roll that
barrel out, saying used to get a party started or
start drinking alcoholic, defined by Dean Brody. In the song
roll out the Barrel, refers to rolling a whiskey or
wine barrel and then here's a here's a using it
in a sentence, Jake says, Hey, what you say, girl?
Want to get a buzz on? And then Chrissy responds, yeah, right,

(28:00):
hells yeah, let's roll that barrel out.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
What she meant was let's get undressed, and he's like, yeah,
let me what you got alcohol?

Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah. The andrew Sisters, I guess had a big hit
with it, but uh, you know, yeah. Here, I'll just
give you the hook. I'll read the lyrics of the hook.
Roll out the roll out the burrow. We'll have a
barrel of phone, roll out the burrow. We've got the
Blues on the run, zing boom, Terrell ring out a
song of good cheer. Now it's time to roll out
the barrel for the games all here. How do you

you're from Colorado. It's Christmas.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, I was thinking about you. Didn't listening to a
lot of polkas in Colorado?

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I know. Yeah, oh but you know, Uh, I know
your your heritage, your eye, but I think I want
to say you're half Mexican American. Sure, I want to
say it. It's not true, but I want to say it.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
And uh yeah Latino and half white person.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:30):
Did you Vaca?

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah yeah? Did you? Growing up? So like this is December,
this is Christmas? Did you did? Uh? Man? I love Tomali's.
Did you guys have the tomali tradition?

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Oh yeah absolutely. My mom makes Tomali's every year. She
made something for my dad today and uh, I think
he ate all of them, dude, A big deal for him.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, heck yeah, I love Tamali's. Man, that's like a
special treaty. There's a lady at the boxing gym I
go to. She's like, you're gonna be here on Friday.
I'm bringing Tomlly's and and then I kind of didn't
want to go that Friday. Then oh, Tomali's, I'm going.
So I got there and they were joking with them,
like you gotta eat one before you work out and
one after it. I'm like, you know, I think I'll
just wait till after because I don't want to.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, you know, yeah, that's a heavy thing to eat
right before you work out.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
Oh my gosh, you're so good. She goes, you want pork,
chicken or beef. I think we're the three choices. Pork chicken. Yeah.
I went chicken and they were delicious.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Those are usually the choices. I have had cheese Tomlly's,
which was more like a white guy learned how to
make Tomali's and started making weird stuff with them.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah yeah, like cheese. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah. They weren't terrible, but it was just like, I'd
rather just have a Tomali if it was up to me.

Speaker 1 (30:53):
Do you what's your what do you recommend people try
all three? Or is there like a certain or does
it matter?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
Now? I don't eat a lot of pork anymore. But
my mom would make them with pork and those were
really really good because of that, though she learned how
to make them with beef, and I think they're even
better if if you get a good batch. You know,
so a lot of it depends more on the masa

(31:21):
and you know the other ingredients too, you know. But
I yeah, I like I like any kind. I'm not
I think my least favorite is chicken, just because it's
it's not as uh not quite as flavorful of meat

(31:41):
as the other two.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
These were so good, yeah, and just now, this chicken
was so good, and I felt like there was something
else that was sort of slipped in there because I
could get I could taste a hint of and I
couldn't decide if it was like melted cheese somewhere in there,
like but just don't hint them. And it wasn't a
lot or have been. Like when I was a kid,

(32:03):
we used to go to this Mexican restaurant called Javier's,
and it was they I used to get this thing
called is it called a chili.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Rihano, Yeah, chili rino.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
And whatever that is. Is it a melo pepper? I
don't know. I felt like there was. She had a
little bit of that taste reminded me of when I
was eating this tomal. I don't know what it was,
but it was so dang good. I was like, man,
I wish.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah. Like I said, I've had very few that I
don't like with our family. The process of making them
was good too, because it took a while and you
had to like steam them and everything like that, and
you know, folding each one and putting it together and everything.

(32:45):
By the time you actually got them, you were so
ready to eat that It just made me better. You know.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I saw del taco as Tamali's gross exactly. I was like,
I'm kind of tempted to see how good they are,
how bad they But I you know.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Have you ever seen canned to Molly's. No, friend of
mine for like a canned food drive brought some of those,
and I was like, that sounds like abuse of the homeless.
That sounds like you're just being mean.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, you like canned food?

Speaker 2 (33:23):
I sure?

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Do you like canned to Molly's. No, I don't know.
Is it pork, chicken or beef? All three?

Speaker 2 (33:32):
Bro? Yeah, it's whatever they had left at the factory.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
We scraped it. Oh my gosh, we scraped it from
the barrel. Roll out the barrel. Yeah, we'll have a
barrel of to Molly's.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
For the homeless. That sounds like a horrible Christmas show
for the homeless, my ABC family.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
I know. Oh I think that. Oh god, I wish
I knew there's I just read that some company and
the homeless. Oh gosh, no, I read that a company
bought Del Taco, which I hope they don't mess with
it because I do like Del Taco. I do like it.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
Yeah you do? You really like Del Talker really like it.
And it made me real mad. Yeah, I told you
like Del Taco.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I told Mike, I go, hey, let's go to Bob's
Big Boy after our comedy show. This is maybe six
months ago, seven months ago. And they had these really
odd hours where they're like we closed eleven thirty, which
they used to be open twenty four hours. And then
I think i'd gone there on a weekend and they
I think they opened They're up until three on weekends.
But I didn't know this, and we you know, we
get there, you go, you got there first, and you
come back you're like, yeah, this isn't gonna happen, We're

(34:43):
not gonna let us in, and then I think somebody
either they.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Reckon it was Bob's big point and let us in.
And you were like, well, let's go to Denny's. But
the Dennys is like a crosstown. So we drove to
the Dennings across town and they were closed. The McDonald's
nearby was closed too. Everybody was closed except you know who.

(35:10):
And I was so mad at you at that point.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
I know, because we're driving, we're hung you know, when
you get your your site set on, like I'm gonna
eat at Bob's and then what And then yeah, I
must have been like.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Other Denny's that I knew was open, and you were like, no,
we'll go to this Dennys by the airport. Yeah, made
no sense to me, but I was like okay, and
so we went, and of course they were closed, and
I was fuming at that point, and you were like, uh, well,
I guess we'll get Dell Tacot. I was like great,

(35:42):
And so I get behind you and I'm real mad,
and the guy at the register goes, what do you want?
I was like, I don't want anything here, but I
guess I'll have this. I was like, I hate it here,
and I don't like you, and al Taco sucks and
my friend is stupid. He's like, okay, well he paid

(36:06):
for your food. I was like, oh, well, I guess
that's okay.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yeah exactly. I know. I felt like a boller that day.

Speaker 3 (36:13):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
It's like, you know, I'll pay for mine in the
car behind me as well, Yeah, I'm paying it forward
behind me.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I'm pretty sure that has never happened at Dell Taco exactly.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
No one's ever paying it forward behind them. Yeah. Usually
it's like a coffee thing, right.

Speaker 2 (36:29):
Well, most people are so ashamed that they're there that
they don't want to draw attention to it. I know
they wouldn't wish it on someone else.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Okay, here's the news. It says Jack in the Box
announced Monday that it will acquire Dell Taco in a
five hundred and seventy five million dollar deal. Wow. Wow, Wow,
that's that's more than the Beatles catalog. Yeah, because didn't
Michael buy it for forty seven million and then this
is like five seventy five million.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Wow. Those tacos are mine, Those tacos are mine.

Speaker 1 (37:05):
We're gonna make to Mollies in December. He yikes, yikes, Michael,
I heard it's better than the Ken Tomully's.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
Like you know, Carl Junior is a little bit better
than Del Taco. It's actually a lot better. But uh,
that's gonna be weird, I know. I hope it. That's
the quality of Del Taco. That'd be great.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Oh see, I like deltal Well. I know what, let
me tell you this. There's there's adult let me prefaces
to this. There's a Dell Taco that no longer exist.
It's now Starbucks. So that one Del Taco I used
to love. I used to go there. I felt like
it was just the right cooks that had been there.
I recognized them. They were, you know, very friendly, the
same crew and like they just were good. And I

(37:48):
have gone to other Del Tacos like on the road,
like yeah, coming back and there, and it's never as
good as that one. So so maybe that's what you experienced.
Maybe you experience like the crappy Del Tacos.

Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yes, I definitely experience those time.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
Hey, I gotta I gotta a segment. I'm kind of
trying that. We'll see if this one is uh, if
this one takes off. I want to I have some
odd wacky party starter news. So, uh, let's see which
story I should start with. Would you rather be read
about an Ohio police searching for a stolen fifty eight
foot bridge or a family's Rudolph decoration repeatedly attacked by

(38:27):
a real deer?

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Wait? Is this? Have you already started the segment? You're
not going to do any music for it or anything.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
With this. You cannot lose. We are about to do
some news over to you, Mike Black.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
This is Darren's segment on the news letter RIP.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
I'll tell you're gonna wrap.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
No, his name is.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
His name is Mike, and.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
He is whacked at wrap so I could do it.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
I thought you're gonna say back or something. Okay, what
would you rather hear about Ohio? The Ohio bridge getting stolen?
To the Rudolph story?

Speaker 2 (39:14):
The Rudolph story?

Speaker 1 (39:15):
All right, let's try it. This just in. A British
Columbia woman said the red nose Rudolph decoration has proven
to be irresistible target for aggressive local deer, despite its
incandescent snout. Arlene blah blah Blah of Fort Nelson said
her family first repurposed the three D archery target made

(39:36):
in the size and shape of a white tailed deer
into Rudolph the red nose whitetail about five years ago,
and they quickly discovered local deer apparently couldn't tell the difference.
She shared a video of the recent attack to Facebook.
Every quote, every year a buck in the area attacks
him or hits and knocks him over and breaks him.

(39:57):
She said she was surprised at the deer were not
warded off by the glowing red light bulb that her
husband installed on Rudolph's nose.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Quote.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
I'm like, he has a bright red nose. I'm really
not sure what they see. She said. Her family plans
to continue to repair and display Rudolph despite the repeated attacks.
He's still standing proud.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, the bucks do not play reindeer games. They they
don't like it. They see him as a challenge, you know,
to their dominance. Yeah, that has got a big glowing nose.
I better kill him so that the lemon will still
breed with me.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I know.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Deer in general, most animals are crazy about that kind
of stuff. Some farmer had I remember the story about
this guy he got attacked by a deer. It was
like on his farm. He had like a arm of
deer and he was feeding him. But he made the
mistake of getting in between a couple and so the guy,

(41:09):
the male deer, pinned him up against the bar with
his antlers and he was like fighting it so it
wouldn't like he was just had enough strength to hold
it back from like stabbing him. And he had to
do that for like an hour or something like some

(41:29):
crazy amount of time before the deer finally had a
heart attack today oh my gosh, and died and that
was what saved his life. Was like that had happened.
He was like, eventually I would have gotten too tired.
And he was like, and I knew the mistake that
I'd made, so I was lucky enough to turn around
in time to see what was happening. I was like,

(41:51):
Oh no, I just got in between them deer a nuts.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
Yeah. They it's like that, you know. And then like
you said, with the like the right the bright red
light bulb, that doesn't count because maybe they're thinking, just
like in the human you know world, how we try
to do that thing called peacocking. They're like, oh, let's
just do with the red nose. That's like the equivalent
of like a von Dutch hat or something, or like
some kind of.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
Or like what peacocks do in the peacock world, which
is also peacock.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Yeah. Those I never liked that name of a bird.
It's like two things that are kind of gross, you
know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
Right, But the ladies love it.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
They love peacocks, and kids love saying it because it's
one of those you know, loopholes where you can say it.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
It's like, you know, look, everybody, it's a peacock. I
would yell that out at the zoo and just have
the best time.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yeah, I got, I yelled yelled out in the bathroom.
It's like that old joke. Do you know do you
know a uh? Do you know a word that starts
with F and ends with k.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Uh? Just the one?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Yeah. See, I'm not even saying the joke, right because
then you you know it's not fork and it's anyways.
The punchline is fire truck. Oh okay, Yes, I don't
even know what the Yeah, here's a joke I heard.
I don't even know if it's funny. I'll okay, since
I don't know if it's funny, I'll just say it
real fast. So this polar bear was like, mom, am
I really a polar Bear? Are you sure I'm not
part grizzly or part brown bear, part black bear? No,

(43:24):
you really are a polar bear? Are you sure I'm
not a a blah blah blah, You're a hundred percent
polar bear. Then the big punchline really because I'm really
fucking cold, just got to speed up the joke because yeah,
the person that said the joke took him like four minutes,
and they act It's like, dude, just get to the punchline.

Speaker 2 (43:45):
Sometimes that there anyone where I feel like, just get
to the punchline is not a great comedian, yeah, or
is a really bad storyteller one of the two. You know,
I think you can be a great comedian and do
like real quick jokes, but I think there's definitely a

(44:07):
time where you're like the ones that know how to
tell a story right and make it funny all the
way through. Those are my favorites, you know.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
Yeah, you know, my friend has a term for it
that I like. He said that he calls it turns.
Having some turns So you don't just like start out,
here's my story, I you know, you you have little
turns and valleys along the way that's funny and little
voices that you throw in or so you're not just
waiting for like the but I'm bomb at the end,
you know.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
Right, Yeah, you don't want to you don't want everything
else to be tedious. You know, you want people to
like the whole story. And there are some guys that
are really really gifted at that and other guys and
it's like, yeah, you should wind it up real quick.

Speaker 1 (44:59):
Yeah, I know, Mike. I wanted to ask you before
we get out of here, do you uh you want
to do the Happy Three? Or would you like to
do some words of wisdom something you've learned along the way,
or you want.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
To do both? Oh? Uh true? Okay, Oh are you starting?
You start?

Speaker 1 (45:19):
Okay, I'll start. I'll start. I'll start with with something
that makes me happy and something that made me happy.
This week I had a I don't know the order
that I'm going to upload these podcasts, but I had
the honor of interviewing Jordan the line and I hate
to say or you know, interview because usually it's just
a conversation, but Jordan, if you're listening, it was a

(45:39):
real treat to talk to you, man, because I've been
watching your videos and I'm inspired to see how he's
made the intern you know, turn the internet into his own,
you know, letting yourself get out there to the world
and hopefully you gather an audience. And it looks like
when I was talking to him, he's so happy, so confident.
He comes across of like, this is what I like
to do, and I'm going to go film it and
if it's uh, and that's that's the thing. Rather than

(46:01):
as comedians, sometimes we are authentic, but sometimes we do
chase a little bit of you know, especially if you're
in la where you're like I want to get cast
or I want to you know, and you know, that's
one thing that I was able to do with this podcast,
like if we want to talk about roll out the
Barrel or where did this song come from? Or tell
me about Tomaly's Like that's something that I'm happy about

(46:24):
that we have the technology and we have I sound
like a six million dollar man. We have the technology,
do you know what I mean? We have the outlet.
Like if there wasn't for this outlet, like if this
was twenty years ago, it would have been just a
regular Sunday, and I would have been like, well, I
guess I'll watch TV. But I'm like, nope, I'm gonna
set it up. I'm going to talk to Mike. We're

(46:45):
gonna do a podcast and and you know, so, I'm
really happy that we have the modern technology and the
inspiration of others that have gone before us to be like, oh,
I like what they're doing and I'm entertained by it,
but I'm also inspired maybe I can do my own thing,
not what they're doing, but my own sort of thing.
That's what made me happy this week.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
That's incredible. That's a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (47:09):
I know, I'm rambling. I'm also thankful for thirteen cups
of coffee.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Yeah. I was like, he noticed a pause there. I
was like, is he done? He is still. Uh. I'm
thankful that you're finished that first thing.

Speaker 1 (47:26):
Oh well, one more thing. I'm actually I'm actually not
finished that one more thing. I want to say. Uh.
Jordan the line he gave a shout out on the podcast,
he said, hey, guys, if you're listening, he goes, uh.
I know he actually didn't say if you're listening, he
was saying that the mic. He goes he particularly loves
the Mike Black episodes, and so he probably will be
listening to this one. And afterwards, that glow just stayed

(47:47):
with me all day. You know. I was just like, damn,
that's so cool. That guy didn't have to come on
my podcast at all, and he did, and I'm thankful. Yeah,
so thank you. I know he's listening. Thank you.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Well, then, Jordan is my second thing. First, I'm thankful
that you're done with the first thing, and second, I'm
thankful for Jordan for appreciating our podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Yeah to you.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
So those are my first two. It's your second one.
What's your second one?

Speaker 1 (48:15):
My second one is I've you know, you look around
the world around you, and you know, sometimes you can
just drive past the house that has a bunch of
Christmas lights and other times, and that's what I've done
this week and the week before is really appreciated. And
I don't know if it was because the lockdown and
I didn't really notice a lot of Christmas last year.
Maybe people weren't in the festive mood. But for some reason,

(48:36):
it's like a Christmas bomb went off. Everywhere I go.
I'm seeing like blow up Santa's and blow up reindeer,
and I'm seeing just all this fun stuff, how creative
people are getting and how much effort they're putting. I
film some of it. It's on my YouTube channel. Like
I saw like a blow up helicopter and it's like
Santa is going to go fly away and it's uh

(48:56):
a propeller and everything. I saw like a two foot
tall Santa. And that has made me happy this week.
That's just seeing how much effort and how cool it
looks with these Christmas decorations. Back to here.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
Yeah, there's okay. That's the thing I'm I'm looking forward to.
I guess is there are some houses that really go
bananas for Christmas that you can drive by and look
at and they really put on a heck of a

(49:30):
show with lights and stuff like that. And occasionally, if
you catch the right window, someone's undressing, so it works
out all around. It's a little Christmas bonus for me,
you know.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
All right, speaking of that, and usually we keep it clean,
and I'm gonna still say the story in a clean manner.
But I do remember before I was a paid or
maybe I was a paid regular at the comedy store,
but maybe the parking lot was full That's what it was.
Because I'm trying to think why did I not park there?
But I parked. If you go past the comedy store
heading west and you take that first street up and
you turn right, you used to be able to park

(50:03):
way up there. There was no like signs or you know,
you didn't have to have a permi. I don't know
how it is now, but this is back in the nineties,
and I remember parking my vehicle walking down the hill,
and as I'm getting ready to turn left on Sunset,
I looked to the right and there was a lady
who had her garage open, and she had her butt

(50:25):
facing the street and was bent and she had bent
over for some reason, her skirt lifted and she had
on no underwear. And I'm just I'm looking to the right,
and I was just like whoa, Like I saw a
bare butt and everything else underneath there, and I was
just like stunned, I think, and I honestly don't even think.
I kept walking. I was just like whoa, stopped in

(50:45):
my tracks because back then you don't see that, you know,
I mean even now you don't see it, but even
but really back then you didn't see it. It was just
like whoa. I think I looked for about two seconds
like one one thousand and two one thousand, that is wild,
and then I just then I just went to I
went to the comedy store. But see now I wouldn't
even look because you'd you'd think like, oh, this is
a hidden prank show. They're gonna put me on something.

(51:08):
But I don't think they did that back then. I
think it was just I don't know why she did.
I don't know if she was unaware or just didn't care,
or maybe she was trying to get a cheap thrill
by doing it to pass her bys I have no idea.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Or maybe that she was hoping you'd ask her out
on a date.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
Yeah, well I didn't. I just was nervous and was like,
I gotta go get my spot. I don't want to
be lame.

Speaker 2 (51:28):
Just leave me alone.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
This is yeah exactly. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Yeah, maybe she'd she remembered your wraps and.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Was like here comes the carat top Kid, the party starter,
the sham Rock Shake. So yeah, that was that was
definitely was a surprise. It was a Christmas surprise. If
I did a podcast back Christmas at Miracle, if I
did a podcast back then, that would have been one
of the things that made me happy.

Speaker 2 (51:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, price is one of the things that
makes me happy. Yeah. I guess my last thing, if
I had to pay one final thing that really ties
up the holidays beautifully, Uh, it would be those pretzels

(52:20):
at and It's that are shaped like Santa Claus or
snowmen or whatever.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
I never get them, but I'm glad that they have them.
Hey with people that are into that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
You know, we talked about the Wetzels Pretzels and and
you know versus this, and and I b yeah exactly.
She said that you have to if it's not the
right one, if they're like like yesterday we walked out
of the Eagle Mall because they were just stacked up
and ready to sell. She's they're probably like, it's just
you know, you want a fresh pretzel. You don't want
something that's yeah sitting there for twelve hours.

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Wettels is real bad about that they these stacked up
all day long pretzels that nobody deserves.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know my third thing I'm going
to scratch off the list. I was gonna say, I'm
happy for this can opener I have, and you'd be like,
why are you happy? Well, because I have a fresh
can of Tomali's, but.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
Yeah, a traditional fresh can of Christmas tomalis.

Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah. That's that's how we That's how we roll at
the Carter household. Unfortunately we're not half Latinos, so we
have to get out to Molly's from Deltaco or a can.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
How mean you pick up a couple of cans of
Tomali's for the holidays, dude?

Speaker 1 (53:40):
You know it's funny. I think I got hoodwinked and
bamboozled by the Armenian grocer up the street, because you know,
we've been buying during the pandemic. We're buying like a
lot of like Armenian like supplies, like you know this
cool like bean soup stuff and different like lentils and
this and that. And I saw they had canned hummus okay,

(54:02):
and I said, how is it?

Speaker 2 (54:03):
Oh? No?

Speaker 1 (54:03):
I asked him if he had hummus, and he goes, oh,
I do bro, I have hummus. And he holds up
this can and it was like foreign riding in It
looked really exotic, and he goes, you can't even tell
the difference between this, and he's like, this is what
they use, and he starts naming all these different restaurants.
He's like, yeah, can thummas. You put some olive oil,
you put some whatever else he said to put on it,
like garlic and a little bit of salt, And I

(54:25):
gotta be honest, I fell for it and it was okay.
But once I discovered real hummus, like there's this company
that makes it, I get it whole Foods. There's no
going back. I can't even go back to just regular
grocery store hummus because this one company. I think they're
called Majestic. It's called Sprouted Majestic. I don't know what

(54:47):
it is, but it's delicious and they usually don't have
that much of it. I think they make small batches
and it's so good. So yeah, I will never I
will never get a canned hummus again.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Good. Yeah, yeah, I would rather you didn't canned hummus
having that as your Christmas bread. Can of hummus and
a can of Tamali's that's no good. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Now what about canned beans? Are you do you like
canned beans?

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Canned beans are fine, because that's not like a thing.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Yeah, you know, I could go for can beans. I
like caned chili.

Speaker 2 (55:29):
Uh, I'll yeah, these are things that I would take
if they were offered to me. But I don't go
seeking out can beans or can chili.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Yeah. I wonder if I just, uh, maybe I haven't
kicked certain tastes from childhood. You know, like some people
like they like they grew up on bologne and they
still every now and then they're like, I want a
Bolooney sandwich. It takes me back to childhood. But you know,
like certain things like Hormel or Dennison's. I kind of
do like caned chili, or I like pinto beans out
of a can. But I don't even I don't know

(55:58):
if I've had beans other any other way, maybe frozen, right,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (56:05):
You've never been to a Mexican restaurant where they had.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Like oh, that's true, that's true. I mean, you know,
like at a restaurant, But I don't mean like like,
I don't know if I've had beans where I bring
him home and like it. Yeah, it's probably a long
it's probably a long process right to make. Yeah, that's
probably why I haven't you know, once you read something
where you're like you have to steep it and let
it so overnight. I'm like, that's cool. Let me just

(56:28):
open up the scale.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Instead.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Yeah, let me just go to Dell Taco and pay
for the next three.

Speaker 2 (56:34):
Cars, eat them out of the can and with a
big spoon, and tell stories with the other guys jumping
jumping the train track the other.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Hobos about pork and beans, fellas. You know, that's something
I'm not really into.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
The whole that in there.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
Yeah, like those Vandy camp beans or whatever, like the
with some mape syrup flavored days. That's you know, that's okay. Yeah,
I'm like, yeah, really, yeah, yeah, I don't like that.
That's not really it's not okay. Yeah, it's not okay.
Yeah yeah yeah. Do you have any plans for Christmas?
Are you gonna stay in town? You're gonna go out
of town.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
I'm gonna stay in town and I'm gonna go to
what used to be the Silent Movie Theater and is
now the brain Dead Cinema, and I'm gonna see die
Hard on the.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Oh cool they called it's called brain dead.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Brain Dead Cinema.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
Yeah, brain dead Cinema. That's cool. I want to uh
this year, I want to watch one of the Christmas movies.
We like watching his Elf, so we're gonna watch Elf.
And I'd love to see There's a movie. I was
talking with my brother in law about Midnight Run and
I saw it like fifteen years ago, and I want
to watch Midnight Run again. It was so funny and good.

(57:54):
I'm like, why have I not watched it again?

Speaker 2 (57:56):
That is my dad's favorite movie. Oh really, I like
it too. But you know who else loves it that,
you know? Ravishing Rick Ramos, Oh, host of Watch This
with Rick Ramos, it's his favorite movie.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Wow, Okay, but it's a.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
Really good film too, Robert De Niro and Charles Groden.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
It was I just remember thinking it was so good and.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
I great great character actors in that movie, Dennis Farina,
yeaf at Coto, really good people.

Speaker 1 (58:30):
If folks don't know what we're talking about, how would
you describe Midnight Run?

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Like? Midnight Run is about a bounty hunter who is
tired of the game, tired of his job. Like imagine
if Dog the bounty hunter or Robert de Niro instead,
and he gets one final score where they they're like,

(58:55):
if you can bring this guy in for because he's
like a bail jumper. If you can get this guy
in by tomorrow morning, you'll have enough money to retire.
But if you don't, you know, he's probably gonna get
killed by the mob. So that's the overall plot of

(59:16):
the movie. But it gets really you wouldn't thinking, but
it gets really funny and really deep. Yeah, and and
like I said, some of the some really really great
actors playing all the different parts.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
That's so good man. I want to watch it, Mike.
