Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dumb in the Morning with Melissa Moore, the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
On Cool one oh five. Speaking of going out for
a good time. Last night, Melissa went downtown to the
Bule to see a little theater action, little musical action.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Yeah, Mulan Rouge is here in town and it was
opening night last night at the DCPA. And if you've
never been to a show, or if it's been a while,
go and see this one. It is so fantastic. The singing,
the dancing, a lot of pop songs woven in to
the Mulin Rouge story. I mean, that's really all it is.
And so you hear everything from Lady Gaga to Pink
(00:39):
to Elton John and it's the lyrics telling the story
and how they do it and it's so so good.
And so we did that last night and just it
was fun to have a date night that wasn't our
normal places.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, And so all.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Of a sudden, I was like, this is fun. We
need to come downtown more often. We used to go
all the time, but with my skin schedule now it's hard.
I didn't get home till eleven o'clock last night. Oh bunkie, yes, yes,
when your alarm goes off, at four, You're like, whoooo
that that hurts a little bit, you know how it
is after a big show, you're kind of wound up,
and so you're trying to go to sleep, and you're like, self,
(01:16):
go to sleep, Go to sleep right now?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Should they just stayed up all night and just powered
the way through?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
No? No, not like the college days, huh.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
I going to ask you something about that because we
were talking about the word, you know, we use the
word etiquette a few moments ago. When I was talking
to you earlier about you going out to the theater
last night, I mentioned about, Hey, it's fun to kind
of get dressed up a little bit, you know, yeah,
put on coat and tie or anything like that, but
you know, just kind of get dressed up and go
out to the theater.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
It's interesting looking at the number of generally it's men
who show up for something at the bule or whatever
and they're wearing sweatpants and a T shirt. Shocking still,
And more times than not, if I see a guy
dressed that way and he's with is usually dressed pretty nicely,
(02:03):
and I always wonder, like how they put up with that.
But I don't want to get launch into this whole thing, like,
oh people, these dudes, because I was wondering about this
the last time I saw it, and it was at
a pretty nice restaurant, okay, and there was a guy
who came in with like basketball shorts on and some
big oversized T shirt and his cap on backwards into
(02:25):
a nice restaurant. And again he was with a woman
who was dressed really nice. She looked really pretty and
the way she was dressed, And I thought, maybe it's
me because the whole thing about wanting styles and traditions
to continue through the ages, there's stuff that I've done
(02:48):
that I'm sure my grandparents would look at and shake
their head. And so I've always been disgusted by men
who wear sweats to the Bule theater. Oh yeah, is
it possible that that is like fifty years from now
people will laugh about how we got dressed up to
go to the Bule when everyone's in shorts or sweatpants.
(03:12):
You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I do know what you're saying, but I hope not.
I understand if you want to wear a nice pair
of jeans and a shirt, Okay, that's fine, but sweatpants
or elastic shorts or something like that. I don't think
it's wrong to say, hey, let's have a little dress
code for some things, whether it be nice restaurants. I
mean some restaurants enforce it if you go to a
really nice restaurant, and I think that's fine. And going
(03:36):
to the Bule last night, it was nice because my
husband and I always he's like, what are you wearing?
Or I'll say what are you wearing? And then we
kind of coordinate sure, so that we're both dressed right,
kind of in the same realm. So I like how
to dress on last night, and I like to do that.
I don't get to do that often. So I wish
more places would have like a minimum dress code, because
(03:58):
if you can afford the ticket, you can afford a
pair of pants. So it's not one of those like,
oh I couldn't afford pants. Well, really, you just you
spent money on a ticket. So I do think, and
I think our behavior is different when we dress nicely.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I agree with all of that. It's just that my
gut reaction is to lament the fact that this is
going on. But the more I think about it, I'm like,
it could just be language evolves style evolves, music evolves,
you know, business evolve. Everything evolves, right, And while it
(04:32):
breaks my heart to see it, I'm thinking to myself,
I'll bet in not too many more years, you and
I will be by far the minority doing this kind
of stuff. And so we're just fretting for no reason, right,
you know, like the way grandparents fretted over you know,
Elvis and the Beatles or whatever. Well, now, you know,
(04:53):
in the modern era, we just have to realize that
we maybe are the ones who are out of touch.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I mean, you look at how things changed. Was flying
when I was a kid. I remember getting on my
first flight and I think it was like eleven years
old and flying out here to Denver, and I had
to wear a skirt and shoes, like my mom made
all three of us kids dress up to get on
that flight. And now people get on there and I'm like,
is that pajamas? I think that's pajamas and I'm not
(05:22):
even kidding, and just the and I was like, do
we have a can we just bring a little of
it back?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, just a little. The flight I took this past weekend,
there were multiple people who were wearing what they were
flat out pajamas.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Right, I've seen onesies.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, and you know it is true because he used
to be coat and tie and people are like, what, yeah,
men wore coat and tie to fly. So because all
of this changes, I just don't. I just find myself
not getting as worked up anymore. When I see somebody
at the Bule he was wearing their dirty sweatpants and
a T shirt.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Yep, I'm like, well, not my business. Like whatever you
want to do. I wish we would dress a little better.
I think it's special to be able to go out
and go to a show with the Bule, and I
think it should be special. But yeah, I just ignore it.
At this point, I well, I admit I judge first.
I judge and judge.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
This whole thing about people don't judge is ridiculously. Everybody judge.
We may not vocalize it, but we all judge.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Yeah, I wish I did it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Clint from Platteville says it's not right Dom. She took
the time to dress up and he disrespected her. Here's
the thing, Clint, I agree with you one hundred percent.
I'm just saying that the gnashing of teeth and you know,
waving our hands in the air. Oh right, it's I
think the time is quickly slipping past where no one's
(06:40):
gonna well do feel the way we do?
Speaker 3 (06:43):
So do you stop fighting for that and just accept
that we're getting sloppier, or do you say, hey, there
needs to be a minimum.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I think the only thing you can do is lead
by example, like this is what I think is best.
But I can't lecture to somebody else that they need
to do it. So I guess that's where I would
take out the word five. Not gonna fight for it,
I'm gonna say this is how I feel. I feel
like you should respect the people around you and like
put a little effort in well.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And then maybe it becomes up to the businesses to
enforce that.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Maybe they say, hey, it is business casual. That means
no shorts, no sneakers, no. And I don't think that's
wrong because if restaurants can do it, I think we're
gonna see other places. But at the same time, I
love seeing people get out of the bule and I
love seeing people experience yeah, exciting.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
To go into the bull because I like putting on
a sport code. I don't put on a tie, but
I'll put on sports. But Renee and Denver says, it's
called staying in your own lane. Why are we concerned
what other people do? Yeah, that's true to a certain extent,
Renee I and I don't, and that's going to work
as much anymore. But inside I suffer a little bit.
Inside I mourn. I guess what I'm doing is I'm
(07:48):
mourning the classiness that we.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Have lost, right, and then judging too in our own lane.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
We were talking about the whole etiquette of dressing up
to go out, like when Melissa went to the Bule
or last night see Moola Roofe and you have the
time of your life.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Oh my gosh, it's so good.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We were talking about how, you know, generally people dress
up a little bit for that, even if they don't
go all out. But we're talking about guys who show
up wearing sweatpants and stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And it's a small percentage, at least in my opinion,
it's a small percentage, and maybe that's why it stands out.
And it used to bother me more. Now I'm just like,
whatever you do, you I wish you'd dress nicer, but
that's whatever.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah, for So that's one of the things we were
talking about. Is like I was asking most I go,
is it just me? I mean, is that the times evolve?
And so we're gonna be at a point in just
a few years where everybody will dress that way when
they go out. And it's funny because Steve brought up
a good point. You know, if you and I go
out to a baseball game today, Let's say we go
(08:48):
out to cours Field. Right, fortunately the Rockets are not
playing today, so.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
It'd be a great game.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Then eat No, But if you go to a baseball game,
like I'll wear shorts, I'll wear t shirts like flip
flop type, you know, sandals or whatever. Hot. You just
go and you have a good time. You know, if
it's like a chilly April day, you put on jeans
and a hoodie and yes, just go out on my
favorite yep. And Steve's bringing up a great point. He's like,
if you watch the videos from the old days of baseball,
(09:13):
like Babe Brute Days and stuff like that, and they
pan the stands, every man in those stands is wearing
coat and tie and a hat. Right, he did not
go to a baseball game without dressing up and suit
and tie that's just the way it was. Yeah. See,
and so now we're like, well, we can't imagine that.
And so that's a great point, Steve, because I think
(09:36):
twenty thirty years or less from now, the vast majority
of people will be slumming it when they go anywhere,
and they're going to consider us old fashioned.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'm wonderful, you know how everything that's old becomes new again.
I wonderful we'll ever go retro where people start dressing
up again.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I've been kind of nice, wouldn't it. I always feel
better when I dress up.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well, I think we all do. We all have that outfit,
whether it's a great pair of jeans or a dress
or whatever it may be that you just feel good
in that you put it on and you're like you
just kind of feel yourself it. You're like, all right,
I feel good. I look good in this, And I
think we do. I mean I remember going to church
as a kid all the time, and it was a
jeans were just starting and I was like, oh, I
(10:19):
can wear jeans, and it came downstairs and I was
like here I go. My mom goes, Nope.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
We couldn't wear jeans. She did not wear jeans.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
She's like, head on back upstairs and put on something nice.
I'm like what she goes. She goes, when you go
out with your friends, you dress up nicer than you
are right now for church, so you go upstairs and
put something on that looks just as nice and m okay.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I tried the argument one time with my mom, who's
very church oriented. And one time I tried the argument,
God sees me all week long wearing everything else. How
did that go? Didn't go? She just pointed to my room.
It's like, gout change, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
That's good though I like it.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You know me, Me missed her rational logical.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
To beat it with mom. This is gonna go great.
