It's my dad's birthday, you know, So my dad, I'm like,
where we go? My dad goes Greek food. Great wait
in Miami.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
The Latin culture and what I know for Greek food
for this, I go, Dad, why are we going to
Greek food?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
And he goes, tied of Italian food everywhere we go,
Tinian food, Italian food, tied food. I go who suggested
Italian food? No one suggested, No, he just was tired
of Italian food. Obvious.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Wait, what I got to stay in the matter of
training and then we go to this Greek place, but
it's like a like it's like a it's not an
Americanized Greek place.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It's like hardcore Greek food only. Yeah, so my parents
get Greek salads but there's no lettuce in it, so
it's just tomato and cucumbers.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Like a little bit of alves. And they hated it.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Oh no, And now my dad's at the point in
his life where everything's the best or worst has ever happened.
So that was the worst Greek food he's ever.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Had in his life.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Oh okay. Now later in the day he had the
best gelatto he's ever had in his life.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
In Miami.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We're at a point where I go, there's no way
this is the best gelatto you've ever had in seventy years.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
It is. It is. There's no way it is.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
You could go through your mind of seventy years worth
of gelato. So then we drive this is just the
tip for the iceberg. Then we drive about an hour
and a half to the Keys. We were saying in
I cames Isla Morada, which is like because Key West
is way out there. So we were staying in the Keys.
But like the first area of the More In Yeah,
More In Okay, And it's like an hour and a half.
(03:22):
We get to the place. It's an incredible house to
my brother in law, booked for everybody. Were all split
it and we meet my sister, my wife, and my
nephews get there first. We get a tour of the house.
We're all excited. This is great, right on the beach.
Then my parents come there about because they're like forty
five minutes late because they wanted to sleep in, so
I'm like sleep in whenever they get there. And it's
(03:44):
a nightmare because the first thing is there's five bedrooms
right or six bedrooms, but there's two bedrooms downstairs.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
The rest of the bedrooms upstairs.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
My dad has trouble walking right now, so he why
walk up the stairs, So we all just assume he
wouldn't take Now, the upstairs have better views of the
ocean and everything like that, but the downstairs he can't.
He can't walk, but him and my mom want the upstairs.
So it becomes this whole thing of like nobody can
decide who wants what, and I finally just go, hey,
(04:15):
I don't care. Me and Hayley will just take the
downstairs room whatever, anybody doesn't want, whatever, and then you
guys will just go upstairs.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
It's not a big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It was just too much, you know. So then my
mom goes upstairs with the bags, realizes it's too hot
up there, too hot, too hot. So then I have
to go upstairs, grab both their giant bags and bring
them back downstairs, and then pack my stuff that have
already unpacked and bring it back upstairs.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
No time.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
My parents get into their room and there's two rooms downstairs.
One of the rooms doesn't really have a closet, and
the other room no, doesn't have a dresser, and the
other room does have a dresser.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
So they can't figure this out because they want to
be in the room with the better view, but they
also need the dresser.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
So then I say, why don't you just put your
clothes in the other room with the dresser, And my
mom goes, yeah, right, it's like.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
You have your own changing room, you know. Like, what's
wrong with that? Right? Not even an option? Stupid.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
By the way, I whenever I'm on vacation, never take
stuff out of my suitcase.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I don't even think I just live out of my suitcase.
I don't have to have a dresser. I don't understand
that I will, actually, I just don't deal.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So that My brother in law then are asked to
move the dresser.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Stop the way.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
I'm upstairs a pack and Kevin, who's just the nicest guy,
comes up and he goes, hey, can you help me out? Sure,
So we go downstairs, we move the dresser from my dead.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Oh thank god? Right, still thinking, all right, they gotta
be happy. Now, okay begins, let's do this.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Then the fun begins because then I hear my dad's
not happy. My mom not happy? What's going on? She goes,
the blinds are so tangled you wouldn't believe it.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
I don't even know what that means either. That's just
you wouldn't believe it, that's how tangled they are. And
then my dad was just that I don't like this.
I go, what's wrong? And he goes the bed.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
There's issues with the bed frame and he goes, clearly
it's the downstairs room where the kids would stay, and
clearly kids have been jumping on this bed and they
broke the bed flame. It's like I'm sleeping on bricks.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
And then I go, okay, and then I go what
else is wrong.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
There's ants everywhere, and they go ants everywhere, So me
and my brother will walk in. I'm like, where is
their ants? We're looking for ants. There's a there's like
five ants, so I just kill him with my finger
and my dad goes, if you only think there's five ants,
then you got vision problems because it's ants everywhere. So
then next thing, you know, so they got the ants,
the bed frame, the dresser. Now the bathroom door won't lock.
(07:07):
I what do you mean the door won't It's a
sliding like barn door. Yeah, so it lock because a
sling barn door can't have that. And I go, well,
this is gonna go in the bathroom. And it's also
the handicapped bathroom, so there's just it's just one floor
and there's no curtain. I'm like all right, And my
dad says there's gonna be water everywhere, so they need
to fix that. They can fix the shower floor, they
(07:31):
can install a bathtub for you. So I'm at this point,
I'm over it because this is nothing's gonna make it,
nothing's gonna make them happy, and everything's miserable, and I'm
like all right, So I go away for like an
hour with my wife. We go on a walk because
we need to break for a second. We come back
and my mom's in a better mood and I go,
what's going on? And she goes, Oh, we talked to Sean.
(07:51):
He's taking care of it. And I go, who's showing
the GM of the hotel? The GM of three different
hotels that are all connected. That's who my mom's talking
to and texting with.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
At this point. Oh, and what is he going to
take care of?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Apparently he got he did everything and then gave them
a five hundred dollars food credit for the.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Rest of the WHOA, what apple doesn't fall too far? Yeah,
I get that Sean's rewarding this bad behavior. You realize
this is what you do. This is what you do.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
So we go out to dinner for my dad's birthday.
We go to a fancy restaurant at one of the hotels, right,
we tell We tell Sean because who's now our buddy. Yeah,
that's my dad's birthday, because he's asking how everything's going.
And we go to the We go to the hotel
and we go we have dinner. It's expensive, there's not
this hotel. It's expensive. Yeah, so they know it's my
dad's birthday. They go, hey, you guys wanting desert. We say, yeah,
(08:45):
we look at desert menu. Next thing, you know, the
whole kitchen staff comes out with this giant platter of
probably ten or twelve different desserts. Wow, and put him
in front of my dad and they put in like
icing happy birthday Vic on the dessert thing, and we
were like blown away. So we're like, oh, wow, what
a nice thing Sean did. Then the bill comes. It's
(09:07):
six hundred and forty five dollars and we're like, wow, okay,
but whatever, you know, it's a lot of you, it's
a lot of us. Just yeah, it's like ten people
or whatever. And then they go, all right, we go
to give them the credit card and they go, Bill's
taken care of by Sean.
Speaker 5 (09:20):
Oh my, So now my dad is like, see, your
dad's come up over a grand at this point from
just complaining.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
From a couple of ants. Yeah, so that they were
rewarded this terrible behavior.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
But impressive.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
So it is.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, it is so that all happens. What else we
go to every time we go to a restaurant, Now
my dad has to ask about the wings huh, like
so and if not, like you ask about the wings.
When it's your turn to order, a woman or a
man comes to the table. The waiter comes to the
table and goes, what do you guys want to drink?
And before anyone gets a word out, my dad goes,
are the wings fried or?
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Baby?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Needs to know, needs immediately to know in that moment
about the wings fried or baked? And then every meal,
every meal, he has to have wings. And then and
then not only that, because he goes, he goes.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
How hot are they?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And they go, well, spicy sea mile and as he
needs to know, and then he goes, do they come
with celery sticks and carrots?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
A question?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
He needs celery sticks and carrots okay, and he needs
to know how salty everything is because he can't have
a lot of salt.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Well, how do you even answer that? Personal?
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, I don't know what you want.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
We went out to a Cuban restaurant. Finally I said
to my dad they have a turkey sandwich on the menu.
Because he apparently he doesn't eat meat or things that
are fried, wink, But he's just been asking everybody about wings.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Yeah, you could eat wings though, like like it doesn't
You're going out of style.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Doesn't make sense. So he goes to the woman at
the regist who's just taken orders.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It's a sandwich shop.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And he doesn't say anything, looks her in the eye
and goes, how salty is the turkey?
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I mean, leave alone. I mean it's it's what do
you mean? I don't understand the question, what do you
mean turkey?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I go, Dad, rather than just saying how salty is
the turkey, say hey, I'm thinking about getting the sandwich.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Is the turkey really salty? And what is she going
to say? I don't even know what. I don't know.
Salty for me might not be salty to you.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Or go up and say, hey, I have issues with sodium.
What's the lowest sodium thing you offer?
Speaker 4 (11:37):
My mom?
Speaker 3 (11:38):

seat she puts in her while I go, mom, what
are you doing with our seat? But you can get audited?

also know my dad will randomly get health problems out
of the blue, so rapid grocery store, and I say
to my mom, I'm I'm like waving my mom down
the aisle, and my mom points to my dad, Oh,
