On this episode of Stoned Appetit, we're getting back into our boring ass routine. Smoke Weed, Eat Food & Talk Shit about TV shows we actually liked.
No drama this week, most of that was covered on last week's episode. For some reason that episode kept getting taken down? So we replaced the audio & reuploaded that one. Check it out if you're trying to get caught up on all the High School drama that is the Denver food world.
This Thursday, we'll start dropping interviews again. We've got a litany ready for you... so get ready for greatness (again).

The suppression of the use of marijuana and the pose
is looking behind it are the most important jobs talking
glog in nineteenth day, the records on marijuana and the
Washington and Arconic Division gustually built a small corner like that.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Today they built a.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Patterna milcom ladies and gentlemen, Coloradians and everyone that's mort
enough to listen from the outside. One of the most
amazing plants we've ever discovered, the pot talking, the trippers,
the glass coopers, the hip books, all gathered in secrecy,
and the Flying Eye as a company been up to
(00:52):
since the public policy debate. Go check out last week's episode.
But we're back with the doozy this week, brought to
you by our friends over at Rocky Flower. We talked
about it last week fat Grams. I mean, it's the
best cartridge by the word of Westward. Tommy Mitchell knows
a shit and we agree that those things do pack
a delicious punch. As well as speaking of packing punch,
(01:16):
our new sponsors of the program Flower Union. It's an
edible brand that is teaming up with single source strains
of products. They have we'll call them Indico Sativa Hybrid,
but really it's strained specific edible's full spectrum. You can
get a good buzz off them. They got a good
flavor on them. You can find them across the Metro.
(01:37):
It's called Flower Union. They come in a ten little
jar artisan gummies. The batch that we've been working with
are based are grown by Boulder Built Cannabis. They have
They work with a multitude of different brands, so you
can find someone that works for you. You find one
you like, you can roll with it. Last week, I
think we were talking about the Lindsay Lohan. This week
it's Champagne showers. Chris, Dude.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I gotta say, what I love about Flower Union is
like they don't have They aren't like wrapped in sugar.
They aren't like super sweet. They give you just that natural,
like kind of weed flavoring. So I mean, I don't know,
I really like them because the cartridge and stuff, it's like,
I don't know, I like tasting the weed and here
(02:20):
you get a little bit of that, Like, I guess
what is it the terpenes you're tasting. I think it
is Chris something like that. But I highly recommend they work.
They're fast acting and they taste great.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I couldn't agree more. And it's the same reason we
like fat Grams. It's like these aren't disolate filled with flavor.
We're not trying to fucking get you know. We love
our twisted teas, but I don't need like some sweet
sugary Like I gotta go brush my teeth after this,
you can pop in one of the Indica flavored champagne
showers and then go lay your head down. Next thing
you know, you'll be seven am getting woken up by
(02:52):
a fucking foster dog that hates sleeping in. Both brands
you can find across the Metro, both of them made
here in Colorado. We love our sponsors. We can't tell
you how much we appreciate it, and we think y'all
will love them too. So if you're trying looking for
a new edible, maybe the last one didn't do it
for you, check out Flower Union. Maybe you've been tried
and true on the same vappin for a while, check
(03:14):
out Fat Grams, the two gram rosin fucking packs a punch.
Shout out to the Muraki team, the Mighty Melts Team,
and the Fat Grams U under the umbrella. These guys
are slanging it over there, Chris. Today's episode, let's talk
about the best things we ate. Last week, you did
a little birthday party at an unsuspecting spot and Wheat Ridge.
(03:35):
I want to hear about the venue and see if
that's a cool vibe for other people that may be
hosting birthdays, weddings, things of that celebration throughout the summer.
And then I'm gonna tell you about the lookalike contest
for Charlie Blackman that I did on Saturday with the Rockies,
and we can talk a little bit about how shitty
the Rockies are. We'll talk about tonight's basketball I guess
it'll be last night for the listeners, and we'll also
(03:56):
talk about White Lotus. I know this was your first
season getting in to it as someone who's watched all three.
You'll get my full interpretation at the end of this episode,
but we'll keep it short and sweet. Get back to
our thirty minute regimen. And then Thursday's episode, we have
Aaron Raschard, Aaron Richard from SIRA Social Club. It is
set to open and quite literally one fucking week, so
(04:20):
we're gonna drop the episode that we recorded with him
during the hiatus so everybody can get an understanding of
how cool this location is about to be. Let's dive
in nitty gritty. What was the best thing you ate
last week? How's the birthday party? Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So, let's go best thing I ate last week? I'm
gonna have to go with my mill yesterday. Okay, I
swung into the I mean, I guess I guess you
could say recently reopened. Uh car driver, Yep, yep, I
mean I guess you know it can it's still recent.
(04:57):
But yeah, dude, it was still popping yesterday. And yesterday
was a little bit, I guess, warmer than I initially expected.
It wasn't like super hot, but we sat outside on
the little patio because you couldn't find space inside. So
it's good to see that place just bumping. But yeah, dude,
went with the mushroom pie, which was delicious, and I
(05:21):
gotta be honest with you, their fucking like farm salad slaps.
So we just went in there, scarfed down a pizza,
had a salad I had in agroni, and then we
bounced out of there. But it was a perfect little
like Sunday evening. We didn't feel like cooking last night,
so we hopped on that train and then came back
home and watched The White Lotus.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, I mean, at least you had a good pizza
before you had to watch that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And you know, I want to remind people too, like
they have at the location right there in Low High.
You know, they kind of expanded their kitchen so they
could have a line. So now they're serving up all
kinds of pasta. And they had a special pasa that
we almost bid on last night. We were just really
gung ho for a pizza, so we went that route.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Hell yeah. Their wine list is also exceptional.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, and they have you know, veg Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Every now and then you want a little healthiness, I
mean mushroom pizza will do it as well. But you know,
in the words of Bill Michelson, you got to get
the CLAMPI the clams that are delicious. But that's not
a bad best bite of the week, no, no, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And then but Friday night went and celebrated one of
our friend's fortieth birthdays and we went to this place
which I'd never been in there, but it's located like
right beside Get Rights. It's called Colorado Plus.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, And for the longest time, like I guess, Like
I just figured it was like kind of one of
those tap houses that just features a lot of different
Colorado brewis, but really it's just like a pup So
it's just a bar, you know. They they got you know,
full full bar, and they have like a second floor
(07:07):
area that I guess you know, is open to parties
and things like that, or it has the option to
rent that out. And so our friends had rented out
the top portion and they had like, you know, like
a big bar area where they had set up some
sliders and some snacks, and there's plenty of room right there.
(07:27):
But then like behind the bar, there's kind of like
another room which you can use as like a dance floor,
or maybe you could expand to have more tables and stuff.
We used it as a dance floor. I'm not sure
who provided the lights. I'm guessing they did, but who knows.
Some of these people might have brought them up there.
But so things got off the rails, people were partying,
(07:50):
booze was flowing, and we ended up turning it into
a dance party out there.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Hell yeah, that's how you got to cut a rug?
What was your go to song?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I can't I didn't have the ox cord. Nobody wants
to give that to me. But anyways, I feel like,
I feel like if there's anybody who has like an
upcoming party or something like that, it's not a bad
spot to check out because it's it's at a good
location for people living over on this side of town.
But yeah, I would definitely look into it for like
(08:22):
one of those bigger celebration birthday type things if you
just need a big space. Yeah, because I don't think
I don't think it could get like to a point
where it could break the bank. Like I think it's
I think it's pretty affordable.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, nice, Okay, I dig it. That's a good recap.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, and you can always pop out and grab a
get right to pizza if it's on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We talk about a dancass pizza. I swear to God
Matt and the team with their new operation they've got
going at night, and then with the weather getting warmer,
they have that patio out front, and then I'm sure
he's gonna get his supper suck series Rip Roaring again.
If y'all don't know, follow get rights and sign up
for their newsletter because they drop tokets to highly exclusive,
very difficult to grab, like twenty four seat dinners with
(09:05):
chefs that come in, come in, dear the kitchen and
just drop the absolute hammer. So I mean, I'm here
to say it. You've heard me, you know, preach the
testament of old Ton Nervada. I think wheat ridge is
also popping off over there. And if you're feeling really froggy,
you can go to the Irish pub across the street.
What is it, Clancy's Grab yourself a sheep's pie, don't
be shy, and that's more of a wintry dish, but
(09:28):
still focks all the same. You may have me beat
just on the food scale, for sure. Cart Driver is
definitely better than anything or anything. Crazily out of the way.
We have the foster dog still, she had her since
we spoke last. She had surgery to get neutered, which
is this a baffling concept, like having a dog you're fostering,
(09:49):
like sent to you before they were spade or neutered.
So we had that done once she got here with us,
after we found out she was in heat, so we
were kind of on hands on duty, so wasn't running
or getting rambunctious, going up and downstairs, playing too much
so as to like rip her incision. But she's doing well.
She's got a couple adoption meetings this weekend, which I
(10:11):
am going to probably have to go to. Maybe not.
It's the Master's TVD.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, so what with these adoption meetings, you just are
you basically like having a Yeah, so the dog.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Will go to the other person's home, meet there, meet
their other dog. And the people that are first on
the list apparently have adopted through this foster that we're
working with on this before and so we're feeling pretty
high and she's really come out of her shell. It
only took like a week or two, you know, of
her being like Okay, it's okay to be comfortable. She's
(10:47):
kind of starting to show a personality. She loves to
just destroy toys, so we're constantly cleaning up stuffing. But
she loves the hard toys, the rope toys, all of
those things. So we kept it pretty low, you know.
But I did sneak out for some baseball festivities as
well as I went solo to a couple of events.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Ah No, I'm hating myself for not getting out there.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I tried to get you to be my plus one.
But there's this new thing for those that are listening
at home, and I think it's probably popular in other states.
It's called Beat the Bomb, and the best way to
describe it is it's like a team activity similar to
that of an escape room, but it's not like an
escape room at all. There's five challenges that you as
a group do and every time you're successful, you kind
(11:31):
of like level up in that game. And every time
you level up, you either get more time added to
your ultimate amount of time or it rolls over to
the next games. To the next game you go in,
you can stack more points, you know, because you have
more time to try to compete complete the missions, and
then you go through the first five. So there's some
(11:51):
that are like memory, some that are hand eye coordination.
Some of them are like the lasers from Mission Impossible,
where you have to get through to the wall, get back,
and like you have a wristband so like it knows
where you are all the time. Okay, And then one
game you play like pong where your head is pong
and you're watching this large screen and you try to
(12:11):
get the ball to like not hit the walls or
hit like the things that like when it closes in
on you, so you're like running in circles trying to avoid.
It's kind of like reverse snake, you know, when you're
trying to eat and like you don't want the snake
to eat itself. You kept trying to eat the apple.
It's like you're the apple and you're trying to avoid
the snake so to speak. So like you're trying to
like move and dodge things, but really it's the system
(12:33):
is just following your head around so you look preposterous,
and it's meant to just be kind of fun, wholesome activities.
And then the last round, it's a game where you
try to kind of like stop the watch. You remember
that game growing up at like David Busters. Oh, you
try to stop and you get the tickets if it's
inside your thing, and you get the number on the jackpot.
Otherwise you just get like four. Yeah, it's like that
(12:56):
in the final game. But if you don't complete all
the levels, which it's damn near impossible because we get
to like level ten or eleven and it's going like
super spinny fast, like so fast that you're never gonna
stop it. So you lose all the time and then
it slimes you, like in Nickelodeon, which was very nostalgic,
very fucking cool. It was just cool. It was just
(13:18):
a really neat idea. And they have food, they have beverage,
they have all of those things going for you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But so can you make it out without getting slimed?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm sure you may be cooked potentially, maybe I don't know,
because everybody we saw and they put you in like
hazmat suit, so it's not like you're ruining any of
your clothes. And some of them aren't slime. Some of
them are paint. So like if you choose the paint
ops the paint course instead of the slime course, you
(13:48):
get into the final game, and when you run out
of time, there's these cannons that just shoot six different
colors of paint all over you. And the whole time,
the last round is in this big glass box right
in the lobby area, so everybody that's either waiting in
the queue for their team to go off into the
back area watching gets to watch it. But they have food,
(14:09):
they have beverages, and then they have like TV's galore,
So if you're looking for a place to watch, you know,
basketball games, football games. We're about to get into the
playoffs for the NBA and NHL. It'd be a great
place for that, and it's located inside of York Street yards.
But I mean, I was genuinely sore. As you know,
I'm not an athletic person. I drink, I smoke. I
(14:31):
know a lot of bar owners, so I sit inside
a lot. I'm not out there playing frisbee or hiking,
so like when it comes to dodging lasers or trying
to do things quick. The next day, I was like, man,
why am my calvstre Why does my back hurt? It's
because I'm a lazy piece of shit with a slight
drinking and drug problem, and so getting this active. Getting
(14:55):
active was fucking hysterical.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Choco, you need to a activate summer bod.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, no shit. So I'm gonna definitely start working out
so I can beat the bomb the next time. And
that is my only incentive to work out, Not because
I can't fit into a wedding season suits, not because
I have to probably go get new button downs and
things of that nature. I'm starting to look more and
more like Bob Huggins than anything else. But I want
(15:21):
to beat the bomb. And so they have like a
running scoreboard, and I don't know if it's location specific,
like if there's one in Dallas or something like that,
but I think it's Denver only. And then it's like
pac Man, so like if you go in and play
pac Man at one specific location, it shows you who's
been top twenty five on that one. And so if
(15:41):
we go back in there, I'm certain that we're no
longer in the top twenty. But for us being there
on like day three, we were numbered like twenty or
twenty one or something like that, and it's just a
hoot and a holler, and you laugh because your friends
are playing with you and you all look so fucking stupid.
How much does this kind of cost? It ranges, so
it depends on how much you want to spend, but
(16:03):
fifty hundred bucks if you want to get like drinks
are ten fifteen bucks, snacks are like burgers and sandwiches
are fourteen apps or like eight ten, and then the
game festivities it depends on who how many you have
in your group, gotcha? So like you can spend as
much or as little as you want, but you're not
drinking while you're playing. So if you're just there to
beat the bomb, you can get in, get out and
(16:26):
go home to your your foster dog, you know, like
you can do whatever you want. But that was a
hoot and a holler, and then Saturday was I was
on the news Wednesday with a fake beard talking about
Charlie Blackman and the Rockies and seeing as the team
on the field, it's not necessarily good, would be the
kind way to put it. There's a lot of other
(16:46):
things going on in the community to kind of rally
the fans if you're gonna be downtown, which during the summertime,
downtown is fun. You know, tickets get cheap. You can
catch a two twenty game. But right after opening day
the market just bottoms out. So on Saturday they did
a Charlie Blackman lookalike contest that was presented by Whistle
(17:08):
Pig Whiskey, the Maven Hotel, Poka Lola, the little bar
right there in the dairy block. And shout out to
them for having me and letting me be a part
of it. I was the judge and the host, and
so for an hour and a half we all just
got to sit there and have snacks, drinks goof off,
and then we had the people that dressed up like
(17:29):
Charlie Blackman come up on the stage and we let
the fans determine who were kind of the final two.
Shout out to Joe what's his last name, kirk Patrick,
he's a bartender here in town.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
How many lookalikes showed up, So there were.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Some that actually looked like them, some folks just with beards,
some girls dressed up, folks in just jerseys, just there
for a good time. Yeah, we have a buddy that
could have done some real numbers on this. Shout out
to mister Gurley. But Joe, when he saw it on
our social media or saw it on the news, he
was like, I literally have this motherfucker's mullet and he
(18:07):
has a beard down to his nipples. And so I
walked in. I was like, well, he's gonna fucking win,
And yeah he won. Like everybody at the bar was like,
why aren't you even playing this game? This guy's obviously
got it won like has the mullet to a t
has the long beard. So shout out to Joe for
taking time out of his weekend. I know he wasn't
headed to the game. But it's just that fun camaraderie
(18:29):
that the Rockies baseball season brings. Yeah, and I hope
to see more of it throughout the year. I've been
trying to talk with mister Montfort about doing some cool
stuff in the community, and he actually seems very receptive
for it, so I'm not gonna besmirch him or the organization. Hell,
I'll go to a Rockies game, Minyanna. I don't give
a shit if we're good or not. I mean, half
(18:51):
priced cocktails, a stradio hot dog. You know, I'll sit
there and just spit out seeds all day. A nine
to nine to nine challenge, nine jerkoffs, nine hot dogs,
nine beers, and nine innings. I mean, I've got that
stamenta in me. So realistically, I think that there's gonna
be a lot of cool stuff going in and around
(19:11):
the stadium this summer. And this was just the tip
of the iceberg. So shout out to the Maven to Whistlepig,
to Poco, Lola, Kachina, the Dairy Block. Thank you for
letting me be a part of it. That was a
hoot and holler. The best thing I ate was probably
King of Wings, which is my Friday tradition. It's hard
to beat King of Wings, Yeah, I mean and everything else.
(19:32):
I was kind of staying at home for most of
the meals, but that kind of covers the food side
of it. There hasn't been too much, terribly too much drama,
more so than last week. We kind of covered the
culinary creative groups, lawsuits and battles, We covered the Aja Barbecue,
we covered the Post barbecue, we covered everything in the
(19:53):
food world, and so realistically, this week it's kind of
more about, you know, the federal government just sandbag to
everybody's retirement, as well as the market for real restaurants
to be able to provide a living wage as well
as buy wine and food from other countries at a
reasonable price. Like Jesus fucking Christ, like it's gonna cost
(20:18):
seven zillion dollars to have a glass of wine at
a bar going forward, and that's just disappointing. So I
hope to see the tariffs drop down. But in the meantime,
we're going to try to highlight some bang for your
buck and friendly price locations around the area, because it's
not just restaurants or restaurant tours that are hurting. It's everybody.
I mean, yeah, fuck the grocery store. I went to
(20:39):
h Mart grab some barbecue from Huang yesterday. It ain't
cheap either. Like, everybody's pressed right now, and so our
heart goes out to all of them. But that means
that we have to find new ways to babysit ourselves.
You know, I teased that I read a little bit
during the hiatus. I was also balls deep in some
television and we talked a little bit about it last week.
But this week, if you don't want to hear about
(21:03):
the end of White Lotus, just turn off the episode. Now.
We only got eight ten minutes left. Spoiler alert White
Lotus season finale conversation coming up now, Fuck that man.
I mean, Mike White was saying all this shit like
if you don't like it, suck my dick, and it's like,
he was like, if you don't like it, get over it.
(21:24):
He's like, this show has always been without a true plot,
but there was always subsequently smaller plots where you kind
of got to know the characters. And he saw some
character evolution and even some kind of turn heel and
become better or worse people. But oftentimes at least the
resolution was there for ninety percent of the plot lines
in previous seasons. This one had just left so much
(21:47):
bla like undone. I thought that they kind of it
was very foreshadowing in the beginning of the episode as
to who was gonna die later in the episode, and
then they had an opportunity to really have a shock
at all, and then he fucking cowered away from the
family annihilator whole instance, and I just left a blat
taste in my mouth where it was like it didn't
(22:08):
do enough for me to be like, if season four
started in June, I probably wouldn't like jump at it.
You know, I'd wait till it finished, and then I'd
come around after I finished other shows that were actually
good or that I was actually into, Like we were
talking about with the Pit, that show has done great things.
It's got a clear and concise plot line and you know,
(22:30):
strong messaging as well as subplots in every episode that
they really sum up well, even in the small parts.
But the long one is still intact. And I just
didn't like the finale of I didn't even like this
season at all. I thought it was dramatically just terribly slow.
And then I was hoping for a big hoorah to finish,
and it was just I like, obviously we got some death,
(22:52):
and we got some cool endings in like Zion and
Belinda's situation, but realistically, like nothing was like we didn't
even fucking see Gary and greg Or greg after five
seconds Sam rockwell, we just see him in a fucking
temple after going back to a hotel room with like
four prostitutes of whatever persuasion. It was just like we
(23:15):
left so much out there that would have been a
great art, but he did so much other bullshit that
was so unnecessary, And then they rushed through the last
seven minutes and I was just like, what the fuck.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I mean, like I haven't seen any of the other seasons,
so I don't know what to compare it to. But
I will say like the show in general doesn't really
follow any structure.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And I think, I guess, I guess.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
What I liked about the season was just like the setting,
so the location, like it made for like cool cinematography
and showing like that ITEMD like that would be bad
as fuck to go there yet, Yeah, but like in
terms of like what the fuck's going on? And does
anything really matter, like no, And one thing that like
(24:05):
one thing that was kind of kind of lame too
is the three women, like how they just sort of
all came back together as friends when really knowing, Like I.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Think that's kind of that was the only plot line
that I thought was actually finished though, because that's like realistic.
It's like, all right, we got that out of our system.
I'll see y'all again in eight years. They don't ever
hang out. Yeah, And apparently there was a plot line
that was kind of left out, like when they they
were talking about Laura's kid, which is Katie Kune. Her
(24:37):
kid was apparently supposed to be someone that was transitioning
in the show, but he didn't give enough time to
let that kind of and it was such a hot
topic discussion in real life that they were like, this
is not doing justice for the actual things that are
going on in the world, you know, towards these people.
So he was like, let's just scrap that whole kid subplot.
(25:00):
So apparently Laura had a little more on her chest
that never came to fruition. But like they were like,
all right, you want to go to dinner, you know,
like let's hug get out on the couch after a fight,
which is a little bit more realistic than all of
the other ones. Like Piper after having this lifelong dream
of wanting to be in a Buddhist temple one night
of shitty food, she was like, you know what scraped
(25:22):
that and the moms I told you so face. Parker
Posey was the best character that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Was so good when she was just pumped at her
daughter realized like, I can't do without the everyday that
we are accustomed to, and to.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Be honest, I just wanted a little bit of And
he saw almost like the most like foreshadowing look on
Patrick Schwarzenegger's face, kind of like when they got their
phone back when he looked at the dad. Yeah, but
that's all we got, and that like for a nine episodes,
this guy just popped fucking Benzas and didn't do dick
(25:59):
all well, and then tries to kill his family and
chooses not to. And then the weird incestuous brother just
doesn't clean out a fucking blender after being told that
the coconut milk was bad. He's like, fuck it, I'm
gonna make my first smoothie ever you like, And then
he doesn't even fucking die.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, right, because like how much I mean, I guess
you have to have a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, I mean, shit, carry some narcan on you. Also,
I think JJ Watt, you know, a beacon of morality
as well as television prowess, was like, call me crazy,
but a wellness retreat with a bunch of poisonous trees
just hanging around doesn't sound like a great idea. Like
some of this stuff was just so fucking stupid, like
(26:43):
and like they didn't circle back to like when Zion,
the son of Belinda, was in the water hiding from gunshots,
sees the body floating up, how the fuck was that possibly?
Even Walton Goggins, if he was sitting there Yin and
Yang underneath the bridge next to Emmy Lou you know, Chelsea.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Could have been one of those guards or whatever. Yeah,
but it's also the fact that that was his dad allegedly.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, And you kind of saw that in the penultimate
when he said that, when Rick said, when Walton Goggin
said the woman's name, he was like, what Bethany Hamilton
or whatever. Yeah, and he's like and then he comes
back and he's like, your mom was a whore. And
it's like, oh, oh, he's gonna kill you later. But
at the same time, the guy becomes fucking Jason Bourne
(27:32):
for thirty seconds and starts popping guards from seventy yards
with a pistol, only to see his lifelong partner pass. Like, yeah,
I just thought, I mean, I understand Mike White likes
to have these odds and ends and like no true
like fluidity in the plot and all that, but I
personally think Chris, you would enjoy the first two seasons
(27:54):
as well if you like the third season. I just
thought it was very lackluster, was slow, waiting for something
to happen, and then what happened was all of fourteen
seconds at the end, Like there was no other fun
stuff like going down throughout. I mean yeah, And I
feel like the most talked about point was like the
(28:15):
brothers jerking each other off was possibly the most talked
about point of the whole season, beyond the disappointment from
fans that in same Rockwall's monologue dude, yeah, fucking Sam
Rockwell wins And did you know he's actually married, Yeah,
to the to the Republican girl, Yeah, yeah, the one
that was in the league the original season, which she
tried to shut the finger in the dude's ass, but
(28:38):
he was Yeah, Sam Rockwell, and then the girl who
passes where easily the two of the i'd say the
runner ups, and then uh, Parker Posey wins Character of
the Year. And usually you know, from one to two
they brought someone through, and then from two to three
they brought a character two through. So from three to four,
(28:58):
I would love to want kind of make you wonder
who would be the characters that would kind of stay
in the concept of the show. But I think you're
not gonna see anymore Belinda because she just wants to
go be rich. Yeah, and rightfully. So if I got
five million dollars, not only would I hang out in
Southeast Asia where the dollar goes like seven zillion times further,
But at the same time, yeah, get the fuck out there. Yeah,
(29:21):
you know, don't go work for a hotel chain. And
if you own the White Lotus, are you not, just
like the fuck's going on in my goddamn resorts, Like
someone dies every fucking year from some tragic murder mystery.
It's like it's like that. It's like Clue, but without
Tim Curry.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Unless the next White lotus is Belinda's starting her own thing.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I doubt it. I bet they find someone new with
a different plot to kind of run with. Maybe it's
Parker Posey and her husband's in jail and she's like,
I am taking this time to breathe, But I don't know.
I'd say, take your fucking sweet time writing the next
fucking plot lines and the whole script, because it felt
like he wanted just to go ten episodes instead of
(30:05):
eight or something to that tune, and it just didn't.
It didn't like and like last week's was so fucking slow,
like Rick just pushes his dad over in a chair,
Like obviously the party scene in Bangkok was cool, but
like there's just so much like frivolous, like bullshit throughout
the season, where they could have at least tried to
(30:25):
tie some stuff together, like and then like the whole
Russian thing, like nobody gives a shit and then mooke
like Lalisa is the most popular person on that show.
She had like six fucking lines over ten episodes, Like
we had so much guy talk and obviously there was
like an ethos as to why he chose to do
(30:45):
what he did, which was very cowardice, despite being portrayed
as brave shooting someone in the back carrying someone that
was Despite all of that, I was just I was
left wanting more, not more episodes, just more finished plot lines.
So that's why I'm very excited about the Pits finale
(31:10):
this week.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Man, they got a lot to wrap up. But like, yeah,
I mean I don't really know what happens because now
like the the Calm has you know, well, I guess
we don't want to give too much away. I haven't
watched it. Yeah, but I love the fact that like
it addresses like modern day problems and then it also
(31:35):
has like funny, like really timely relevance, like for the
last one when the kid came in with fucking measles
and then those parents are like trying to.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Be to Google.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, man, I could you imagine like being a physician
and not and trying to hold it together and not
lose it or lash out against like stupidity.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And I mean, we can go back to we were
doing this podcast, you know, we've been for seven fucking years, Chris.
If we went back to the ones during the pandemic,
I think we said something like if someone in ject's
bleach or they start taking in ibermactin and then they
come in unvaccinated with like you know, late stage COVID
(32:16):
like failures of like lungs and are like flooded, you know, fluids.
Fucking I mean, I know, you sign an oath, but
so did the lawyers under the Department of Justice, and
they're not adhering to theirs, you know, and the ones
that do get kicked off the fucking squad. So start
training these morons as they should be treated, you know,
like start yelling in their face and be like, you
(32:38):
know what, fine, let your fucking kid die.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
You know, right. But the only thing is then you're
putting other kids at risk and shit like that too
with some of these idiots.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well they're doing that those other kids were at risk,
like her other kid was already sick, which got this
kid sick, right, But they address everything from like the
actual issues of working in a healthcare system where it's
all about profits instead of people talking about the issues
of you know, working in a public health hospital, like
the wait times for trauma and like you know, triage
(33:09):
and things of that nature taking priority, as well as
gun violence being an issue, you know, mental health inside
of kids that could easily, you know, take the lives
of themselves or those that they love.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's a good show.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's a great show. It's I mean, it's it's my
favorite show that I've watched recently. And I mean, I
know Severance has got a great cult following and that
had a great finale, and it's a kind of a
wonky show, but the pit is one where it's like
the acting from Noah Wolf for Wilde or whatever his
(33:42):
name is. He deserves that.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Oscar dude, he's really fucking good, right.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And it's not just like he's been a doctor for
thirty years on television. He was also a librarian, you know,
like he's got he's earned his stripes. That guy fucking whales.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, I mean, like I feel like this this is
a show that HBO needed because they've been struggling ever since.
You know, some of their big hits have gone under Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Us was coming back this weekend? Is that and that one?
You know, I feel like the video games turned television
shows have done fairly well in terms of like they
get their audience of the gamers. But if you do
it right, you pick up everybody that likes just Sunday
night television. Yeah, because I mean it's a perfect time
for them to start because the bar is so fucking low.
(34:31):
Shout out to Mike White that everyone's gonna be excited
because they finished that one. Season one finished really well
with him seeing his brother and then the trailers make
it look like zombies are coming. Yeah, man, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
How weird those fucking creatures looked. Yeah, like their heads
are like because.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
It isn't it? Oh yeah? And like you know when
they had that city that got overrun, and then like
they even had episodes that were really pulling at the heartstrings,
like in the Drama Core, Like I think Nick Offerman
won one for like that very heavy, but at the
(35:14):
same time, that's what good writing should do. Like it
can take you away from the large scale plot and
synopsis of the show and make you focus on one
individual story and still have you enthralled as maybe the
next episode when you pick up again where they left off,
you're not It's not like the women tell all episode
(35:35):
of The Bachelor, you know, where it's like, oh, the
finales next week. It was perfect in season one and
as a not we're not gamers and so we don't
really know how the the that game goes about, so
I'm very intrigued to have it start back up.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
You need to remember when you try to become gamers.
There for a brief period during COVID we got the
PS five, Yeah, and we played it like we played
it pretty solidly for about thirty days and.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Then we were just kind of like you wanna go
eat ass in the park, which was much way more fun,
way more fun. And we're getting to that weather again,
you know, cooking Sunday suppers are coming back, parties in
the park and you know talking this week, well obviously
we're gonna have you probably saw it on social media
this morning, but you know happy hour menus where people
(36:23):
are trying to get out of the office, they're jones
in the weather's prime, golf is ripping and roaring. The
Masters are this weekend, and then Serrus Social Club is opening,
so there's a lot of cool stuff on the horizon,
so it's gonna be really neat. Yeah, So either way,
(36:45):
I thought that was a pretty good episode. Y'all. If
you are not a member of the Serrus Social Club newsletter,
you need art to be a preferred member. You can
sign up and you will get preferred options for getting
a reservation. I don't know if it's gonna be as
contentious as like a Cossa Benita, but I think they're
(37:08):
going to go through the air subscribers before it's just
open for walkins. Don't hold me to that. You'll know
more about it on Thursday. So stay tuned. We're back. Interviews, guests,
fun things to do in the community, inside, outside, drug induced,
(37:29):
booze induced, sometimes sobers stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Not me, but occasionally I'm hoping. I'm hoping to hit
some maybe if I have a little bit of free
time this week and when I'm down in Scottsdale, hoping
to hit one or two cool food spots.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
So you have a wedding in Scottsdale this weekend? Is
that correct?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I do so, I think for sure. Steph and I
want to check out Pizzeria Bianco.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, they have a couple locations.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, I think we're trying to go to the OG
but okay, if that doesn't work out, we'll find something else.
And then, uh, I'm doing some other searches to see
if we can find a couple of nice grub spots.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Okay, I mean that doesn't sound like a bad one,
and it feels like it's a little bit different down there.
Like there's a bunch of taco spots that you definitely
should try to check out, right, but I don't know
which ones are, you know, the revolutionary ones, right. But
their city is like it's so big but not oftentimes
thought of as like this food mecha like other you know,
(38:33):
towns or cities across the country.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
But I think they've got some upcoming stuff like up
and coming. I mean, I've heard a few spots around there,
but it's just I just don't know like kind of
what the order of things will be and how much
how much pool I have among the groups.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
So yeah, And so that's the thing about weddings, Like
I gotta go to one in Connecticut later this year,
and everyone's like, you gotta go here, you gotta go there.
It's like I'm a plus one at that. It's like
I don't have the leisure of like, oh, jump on
the train and go down to fucking New Haven. It's
like I'm kind of at the mercy of everybody else,
which sucks because when I like to travel, I travel
(39:13):
based off of where I want to eat or when
I travel I don't look at you know, hikes in
the area. I look at restaurants and bars like I
pick locations that I'm going to based off of things
I want to eat, like Italy. You know the reason
I love Portugal, friendly priced, great fucking food, oftentimes unsuspecting,
you know, things like that. But also you know, I'll
(39:35):
go to fucking Thailand, send my ass to Bangkok. I
don't even need to go to the resort towns of
Fouquet and whatnot. I'll just do the night markets and
just slaughter fucking meats on skewers and nudes for days.
Love meets right. You can't beat it with a stick,
so we'll have a lot more of meats on skewers.
Food reviews, recaps on next week's episode. Well, if Chris
(39:56):
coming back from the desert, I will be of bunkerd
in watching golf for four days, smoking copious amounts of dosia.
Thanks for our friends over at Muraki. That pretty much
wraps it up, Chris. Anything we missed this week, not
that I can think of, I can't either, So everyone, y'all,
stay high, stay hungry, Go Rockies. Cheers
The suppression of the use of marijuana and the pose
is looking behind it are the most important jobs talking
glog in nineteenth day, the records on marijuana and the
Washington and Arconic Division gustually built a small corner like that.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Today they built a.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Patterna milcom ladies and gentlemen, Coloradians and everyone that's mort
enough to listen from the outside. One of the most
amazing plants we've ever discovered, the pot talking, the trippers,
the glass coopers, the hip books, all gathered in secrecy,
and the Flying Eye as a company been up to
(00:52):
since the public policy debate. Go check out last week's episode.
But we're back with the doozy this week, brought to
you by our friends over at Rocky Flower. We talked
about it last week fat Grams. I mean, it's the
best cartridge by the word of Westward. Tommy Mitchell knows
a shit and we agree that those things do pack
a delicious punch. As well as speaking of packing punch,
(01:16):
our new sponsors of the program Flower Union. It's an
edible brand that is teaming up with single source strains
of products. They have we'll call them Indico Sativa Hybrid,
but really it's strained specific edible's full spectrum. You can
get a good buzz off them. They got a good
flavor on them. You can find them across the Metro.
(01:37):
It's called Flower Union. They come in a ten little
jar artisan gummies. The batch that we've been working with
are based are grown by Boulder Built Cannabis. They have
They work with a multitude of different brands, so you
can find someone that works for you. You find one
you like, you can roll with it. Last week, I
think we were talking about the Lindsay Lohan. This week
it's Champagne showers. Chris, Dude.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
I gotta say, what I love about Flower Union is
like they don't have They aren't like wrapped in sugar.
They aren't like super sweet. They give you just that natural,
like kind of weed flavoring. So I mean, I don't know,
I really like them because the cartridge and stuff, it's like,
I don't know, I like tasting the weed and here
(02:20):
you get a little bit of that, Like, I guess
what is it the terpenes you're tasting. I think it
is Chris something like that. But I highly recommend they work.
They're fast acting and they taste great.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I couldn't agree more. And it's the same reason we
like fat Grams. It's like these aren't disolate filled with flavor.
We're not trying to fucking get you know. We love
our twisted teas, but I don't need like some sweet
sugary Like I gotta go brush my teeth after this,
you can pop in one of the Indica flavored champagne
showers and then go lay your head down. Next thing
you know, you'll be seven am getting woken up by
(02:52):
a fucking foster dog that hates sleeping in. Both brands
you can find across the Metro, both of them made
here in Colorado. We love our sponsors. We can't tell
you how much we appreciate it, and we think y'all
will love them too. So if you're trying looking for
a new edible, maybe the last one didn't do it
for you, check out Flower Union. Maybe you've been tried
and true on the same vappin for a while, check
(03:14):
out Fat Grams, the two gram rosin fucking packs a punch.
Shout out to the Muraki team, the Mighty Melts Team,
and the Fat Grams U under the umbrella. These guys
are slanging it over there, Chris. Today's episode, let's talk
about the best things we ate. Last week, you did
a little birthday party at an unsuspecting spot and Wheat Ridge.
(03:35):
I want to hear about the venue and see if
that's a cool vibe for other people that may be
hosting birthdays, weddings, things of that celebration throughout the summer.
And then I'm gonna tell you about the lookalike contest
for Charlie Blackman that I did on Saturday with the Rockies,
and we can talk a little bit about how shitty
the Rockies are. We'll talk about tonight's basketball I guess
it'll be last night for the listeners, and we'll also
(03:56):
talk about White Lotus. I know this was your first
season getting in to it as someone who's watched all three.
You'll get my full interpretation at the end of this episode,
but we'll keep it short and sweet. Get back to
our thirty minute regimen. And then Thursday's episode, we have
Aaron Raschard, Aaron Richard from SIRA Social Club. It is
set to open and quite literally one fucking week, so
(04:20):
we're gonna drop the episode that we recorded with him
during the hiatus so everybody can get an understanding of
how cool this location is about to be. Let's dive
in nitty gritty. What was the best thing you ate
last week? How's the birthday party? Uh?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So, let's go best thing I ate last week? I'm
gonna have to go with my mill yesterday. Okay, I
swung into the I mean, I guess I guess you
could say recently reopened. Uh car driver, Yep, yep, I
mean I guess you know it can it's still recent.
(04:57):
But yeah, dude, it was still popping yesterday. And yesterday
was a little bit, I guess, warmer than I initially expected.
It wasn't like super hot, but we sat outside on
the little patio because you couldn't find space inside. So
it's good to see that place just bumping. But yeah, dude,
went with the mushroom pie, which was delicious, and I
(05:21):
gotta be honest with you, their fucking like farm salad slaps.
So we just went in there, scarfed down a pizza,
had a salad I had in agroni, and then we
bounced out of there. But it was a perfect little
like Sunday evening. We didn't feel like cooking last night,
so we hopped on that train and then came back
home and watched The White Lotus.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Well, I mean, at least you had a good pizza
before you had to watch that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And you know, I want to remind people too, like
they have at the location right there in Low High.
You know, they kind of expanded their kitchen so they
could have a line. So now they're serving up all
kinds of pasta. And they had a special pasa that
we almost bid on last night. We were just really
gung ho for a pizza, so we went that route.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Hell yeah. Their wine list is also exceptional.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, and they have you know, veg Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Every now and then you want a little healthiness, I
mean mushroom pizza will do it as well. But you know,
in the words of Bill Michelson, you got to get
the CLAMPI the clams that are delicious. But that's not
a bad best bite of the week, no, no, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And then but Friday night went and celebrated one of
our friend's fortieth birthdays and we went to this place
which I'd never been in there, but it's located like
right beside Get Rights. It's called Colorado Plus.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Yeah, And for the longest time, like I guess, Like
I just figured it was like kind of one of
those tap houses that just features a lot of different
Colorado brewis, but really it's just like a pup So
it's just a bar, you know. They they got you know,
full full bar, and they have like a second floor
(07:07):
area that I guess you know, is open to parties
and things like that, or it has the option to
rent that out. And so our friends had rented out
the top portion and they had like, you know, like
a big bar area where they had set up some
sliders and some snacks, and there's plenty of room right there.
(07:27):
But then like behind the bar, there's kind of like
another room which you can use as like a dance floor,
or maybe you could expand to have more tables and stuff.
We used it as a dance floor. I'm not sure
who provided the lights. I'm guessing they did, but who knows.
Some of these people might have brought them up there.
But so things got off the rails, people were partying,
(07:50):
booze was flowing, and we ended up turning it into
a dance party out there.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Hell yeah, that's how you got to cut a rug?
What was your go to song?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I can't I didn't have the ox cord. Nobody wants
to give that to me. But anyways, I feel like,
I feel like if there's anybody who has like an
upcoming party or something like that, it's not a bad
spot to check out because it's it's at a good
location for people living over on this side of town.
But yeah, I would definitely look into it for like
(08:22):
one of those bigger celebration birthday type things if you
just need a big space. Yeah, because I don't think
I don't think it could get like to a point
where it could break the bank. Like I think it's
I think it's pretty affordable.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, nice, Okay, I dig it. That's a good recap.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, and you can always pop out and grab a
get right to pizza if it's on the weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We talk about a dancass pizza. I swear to God
Matt and the team with their new operation they've got
going at night, and then with the weather getting warmer,
they have that patio out front, and then I'm sure
he's gonna get his supper suck series Rip Roaring again.
If y'all don't know, follow get rights and sign up
for their newsletter because they drop tokets to highly exclusive,
very difficult to grab, like twenty four seat dinners with
(09:05):
chefs that come in, come in, dear the kitchen and
just drop the absolute hammer. So I mean, I'm here
to say it. You've heard me, you know, preach the
testament of old Ton Nervada. I think wheat ridge is
also popping off over there. And if you're feeling really froggy,
you can go to the Irish pub across the street.
What is it, Clancy's Grab yourself a sheep's pie, don't
be shy, and that's more of a wintry dish, but
(09:28):
still focks all the same. You may have me beat
just on the food scale, for sure. Cart Driver is
definitely better than anything or anything. Crazily out of the way.
We have the foster dog still, she had her since
we spoke last. She had surgery to get neutered, which
is this a baffling concept, like having a dog you're fostering,
(09:49):
like sent to you before they were spade or neutered.
So we had that done once she got here with us,
after we found out she was in heat, so we
were kind of on hands on duty, so wasn't running
or getting rambunctious, going up and downstairs, playing too much
so as to like rip her incision. But she's doing well.
She's got a couple adoption meetings this weekend, which I
(10:11):
am going to probably have to go to. Maybe not.
It's the Master's TVD.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, so what with these adoption meetings, you just are
you basically like having a Yeah, so the dog.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Will go to the other person's home, meet there, meet
their other dog. And the people that are first on
the list apparently have adopted through this foster that we're
working with on this before and so we're feeling pretty
high and she's really come out of her shell. It
only took like a week or two, you know, of
her being like Okay, it's okay to be comfortable. She's
(10:47):
kind of starting to show a personality. She loves to
just destroy toys, so we're constantly cleaning up stuffing. But
she loves the hard toys, the rope toys, all of
those things. So we kept it pretty low, you know.
But I did sneak out for some baseball festivities as
well as I went solo to a couple of events.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Ah No, I'm hating myself for not getting out there.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I tried to get you to be my plus one.
But there's this new thing for those that are listening
at home, and I think it's probably popular in other states.
It's called Beat the Bomb, and the best way to
describe it is it's like a team activity similar to
that of an escape room, but it's not like an
escape room at all. There's five challenges that you as
a group do and every time you're successful, you kind
(11:31):
of like level up in that game. And every time
you level up, you either get more time added to
your ultimate amount of time or it rolls over to
the next games. To the next game you go in,
you can stack more points, you know, because you have
more time to try to compete complete the missions, and
then you go through the first five. So there's some
(11:51):
that are like memory, some that are hand eye coordination.
Some of them are like the lasers from Mission Impossible,
where you have to get through to the wall, get back,
and like you have a wristband so like it knows
where you are all the time. Okay, And then one
game you play like pong where your head is pong
and you're watching this large screen and you try to
(12:11):
get the ball to like not hit the walls or
hit like the things that like when it closes in
on you, so you're like running in circles trying to avoid.
It's kind of like reverse snake, you know, when you're
trying to eat and like you don't want the snake
to eat itself. You kept trying to eat the apple.
It's like you're the apple and you're trying to avoid
the snake so to speak. So like you're trying to
like move and dodge things, but really it's the system
(12:33):
is just following your head around so you look preposterous,
and it's meant to just be kind of fun, wholesome activities.
And then the last round, it's a game where you
try to kind of like stop the watch. You remember
that game growing up at like David Busters. Oh, you
try to stop and you get the tickets if it's
inside your thing, and you get the number on the jackpot.
Otherwise you just get like four. Yeah, it's like that
(12:56):
in the final game. But if you don't complete all
the levels, which it's damn near impossible because we get
to like level ten or eleven and it's going like
super spinny fast, like so fast that you're never gonna
stop it. So you lose all the time and then
it slimes you, like in Nickelodeon, which was very nostalgic,
very fucking cool. It was just cool. It was just
(13:18):
a really neat idea. And they have food, they have beverage,
they have all of those things going for you.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But so can you make it out without getting slimed?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm sure you may be cooked potentially, maybe I don't know,
because everybody we saw and they put you in like
hazmat suit, so it's not like you're ruining any of
your clothes. And some of them aren't slime. Some of
them are paint. So like if you choose the paint
ops the paint course instead of the slime course, you
(13:48):
get into the final game, and when you run out
of time, there's these cannons that just shoot six different
colors of paint all over you. And the whole time,
the last round is in this big glass box right
in the lobby area, so everybody that's either waiting in
the queue for their team to go off into the
back area watching gets to watch it. But they have food,
(14:09):
they have beverages, and then they have like TV's galore,
So if you're looking for a place to watch, you know,
basketball games, football games. We're about to get into the
playoffs for the NBA and NHL. It'd be a great
place for that, and it's located inside of York Street yards.
But I mean, I was genuinely sore. As you know,
I'm not an athletic person. I drink, I smoke. I
(14:31):
know a lot of bar owners, so I sit inside
a lot. I'm not out there playing frisbee or hiking,
so like when it comes to dodging lasers or trying
to do things quick. The next day, I was like, man,
why am my calvstre Why does my back hurt? It's
because I'm a lazy piece of shit with a slight
drinking and drug problem, and so getting this active. Getting
(14:55):
active was fucking hysterical.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Choco, you need to a activate summer bod.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yeah, no shit. So I'm gonna definitely start working out
so I can beat the bomb the next time. And
that is my only incentive to work out, Not because
I can't fit into a wedding season suits, not because
I have to probably go get new button downs and
things of that nature. I'm starting to look more and
more like Bob Huggins than anything else. But I want
(15:21):
to beat the bomb. And so they have like a
running scoreboard, and I don't know if it's location specific,
like if there's one in Dallas or something like that,
but I think it's Denver only. And then it's like
pac Man, so like if you go in and play
pac Man at one specific location, it shows you who's
been top twenty five on that one. And so if
(15:41):
we go back in there, I'm certain that we're no
longer in the top twenty. But for us being there
on like day three, we were numbered like twenty or
twenty one or something like that, and it's just a
hoot and a holler, and you laugh because your friends
are playing with you and you all look so fucking stupid.
How much does this kind of cost? It ranges, so
it depends on how much you want to spend, but
(16:03):
fifty hundred bucks if you want to get like drinks
are ten fifteen bucks, snacks are like burgers and sandwiches
are fourteen apps or like eight ten, and then the
game festivities it depends on who how many you have
in your group, gotcha? So like you can spend as
much or as little as you want, but you're not
drinking while you're playing. So if you're just there to
beat the bomb, you can get in, get out and
(16:26):
go home to your your foster dog, you know, like
you can do whatever you want. But that was a
hoot and a holler, and then Saturday was I was
on the news Wednesday with a fake beard talking about
Charlie Blackman and the Rockies and seeing as the team
on the field, it's not necessarily good, would be the
kind way to put it. There's a lot of other
(16:46):
things going on in the community to kind of rally
the fans if you're gonna be downtown, which during the summertime,
downtown is fun. You know, tickets get cheap. You can
catch a two twenty game. But right after opening day
the market just bottoms out. So on Saturday they did
a Charlie Blackman lookalike contest that was presented by Whistle
(17:08):
Pig Whiskey, the Maven Hotel, Poka Lola, the little bar
right there in the dairy block. And shout out to
them for having me and letting me be a part
of it. I was the judge and the host, and
so for an hour and a half we all just
got to sit there and have snacks, drinks goof off,
and then we had the people that dressed up like
(17:29):
Charlie Blackman come up on the stage and we let
the fans determine who were kind of the final two.
Shout out to Joe what's his last name, kirk Patrick,
he's a bartender here in town.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
How many lookalikes showed up, So there were.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Some that actually looked like them, some folks just with beards,
some girls dressed up, folks in just jerseys, just there
for a good time. Yeah, we have a buddy that
could have done some real numbers on this. Shout out
to mister Gurley. But Joe, when he saw it on
our social media or saw it on the news, he
was like, I literally have this motherfucker's mullet and he
(18:07):
has a beard down to his nipples. And so I
walked in. I was like, well, he's gonna fucking win,
And yeah he won. Like everybody at the bar was like,
why aren't you even playing this game? This guy's obviously
got it won like has the mullet to a t
has the long beard. So shout out to Joe for
taking time out of his weekend. I know he wasn't
headed to the game. But it's just that fun camaraderie
(18:29):
that the Rockies baseball season brings. Yeah, and I hope
to see more of it throughout the year. I've been
trying to talk with mister Montfort about doing some cool
stuff in the community, and he actually seems very receptive
for it, so I'm not gonna besmirch him or the organization. Hell,
I'll go to a Rockies game, Minyanna. I don't give
a shit if we're good or not. I mean, half
(18:51):
priced cocktails, a stradio hot dog. You know, I'll sit
there and just spit out seeds all day. A nine
to nine to nine challenge, nine jerkoffs, nine hot dogs,
nine beers, and nine innings. I mean, I've got that
stamenta in me. So realistically, I think that there's gonna
be a lot of cool stuff going in and around
(19:11):
the stadium this summer. And this was just the tip
of the iceberg. So shout out to the Maven to Whistlepig,
to Poco, Lola, Kachina, the Dairy Block. Thank you for
letting me be a part of it. That was a
hoot and holler. The best thing I ate was probably
King of Wings, which is my Friday tradition. It's hard
to beat King of Wings, Yeah, I mean and everything else.
(19:32):
I was kind of staying at home for most of
the meals, but that kind of covers the food side
of it. There hasn't been too much, terribly too much drama,
more so than last week. We kind of covered the
culinary creative groups, lawsuits and battles, We covered the Aja Barbecue,
we covered the Post barbecue, we covered everything in the
(19:53):
food world, and so realistically, this week it's kind of
more about, you know, the federal government just sandbag to
everybody's retirement, as well as the market for real restaurants
to be able to provide a living wage as well
as buy wine and food from other countries at a
reasonable price. Like Jesus fucking Christ, like it's gonna cost
(20:18):
seven zillion dollars to have a glass of wine at
a bar going forward, and that's just disappointing. So I
hope to see the tariffs drop down. But in the meantime,
we're going to try to highlight some bang for your
buck and friendly price locations around the area, because it's
not just restaurants or restaurant tours that are hurting. It's everybody.
I mean, yeah, fuck the grocery store. I went to
(20:39):
h Mart grab some barbecue from Huang yesterday. It ain't
cheap either. Like, everybody's pressed right now, and so our
heart goes out to all of them. But that means
that we have to find new ways to babysit ourselves.
You know, I teased that I read a little bit
during the hiatus. I was also balls deep in some
television and we talked a little bit about it last week.
But this week, if you don't want to hear about
(21:03):
the end of White Lotus, just turn off the episode. Now.
We only got eight ten minutes left. Spoiler alert White
Lotus season finale conversation coming up now, Fuck that man.
I mean, Mike White was saying all this shit like
if you don't like it, suck my dick, and it's like,
he was like, if you don't like it, get over it.
(21:24):
He's like, this show has always been without a true plot,
but there was always subsequently smaller plots where you kind
of got to know the characters. And he saw some
character evolution and even some kind of turn heel and
become better or worse people. But oftentimes at least the
resolution was there for ninety percent of the plot lines
in previous seasons. This one had just left so much
(21:47):
bla like undone. I thought that they kind of it
was very foreshadowing in the beginning of the episode as
to who was gonna die later in the episode, and
then they had an opportunity to really have a shock
at all, and then he fucking cowered away from the
family annihilator whole instance, and I just left a blat
taste in my mouth where it was like it didn't
(22:08):
do enough for me to be like, if season four
started in June, I probably wouldn't like jump at it.
You know, I'd wait till it finished, and then I'd
come around after I finished other shows that were actually
good or that I was actually into, Like we were
talking about with the Pit, that show has done great things.
It's got a clear and concise plot line and you know,
(22:30):
strong messaging as well as subplots in every episode that
they really sum up well, even in the small parts.
But the long one is still intact. And I just
didn't like the finale of I didn't even like this
season at all. I thought it was dramatically just terribly slow.
And then I was hoping for a big hoorah to finish,
and it was just I like, obviously we got some death,
(22:52):
and we got some cool endings in like Zion and
Belinda's situation, but realistically, like nothing was like we didn't
even fucking see Gary and greg Or greg after five
seconds Sam rockwell, we just see him in a fucking
temple after going back to a hotel room with like
four prostitutes of whatever persuasion. It was just like we
(23:15):
left so much out there that would have been a
great art, but he did so much other bullshit that
was so unnecessary, And then they rushed through the last
seven minutes and I was just like, what the fuck.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I mean, like I haven't seen any of the other seasons,
so I don't know what to compare it to. But
I will say like the show in general doesn't really
follow any structure.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
And I think, I guess, I guess.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
What I liked about the season was just like the setting,
so the location, like it made for like cool cinematography
and showing like that ITEMD like that would be bad
as fuck to go there yet, Yeah, but like in
terms of like what the fuck's going on? And does
anything really matter, like no, And one thing that like
(24:05):
one thing that was kind of kind of lame too
is the three women, like how they just sort of
all came back together as friends when really knowing, Like I.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Think that's kind of that was the only plot line
that I thought was actually finished though, because that's like realistic.
It's like, all right, we got that out of our system.
I'll see y'all again in eight years. They don't ever
hang out. Yeah, And apparently there was a plot line
that was kind of left out, like when they they
were talking about Laura's kid, which is Katie Kune. Her
(24:37):
kid was apparently supposed to be someone that was transitioning
in the show, but he didn't give enough time to
let that kind of and it was such a hot
topic discussion in real life that they were like, this
is not doing justice for the actual things that are
going on in the world, you know, towards these people.
So he was like, let's just scrap that whole kid subplot.
(25:00):
So apparently Laura had a little more on her chest
that never came to fruition. But like they were like,
all right, you want to go to dinner, you know,
like let's hug get out on the couch after a fight,
which is a little bit more realistic than all of
the other ones. Like Piper after having this lifelong dream
of wanting to be in a Buddhist temple one night
of shitty food, she was like, you know what scraped
(25:22):
that and the moms I told you so face. Parker
Posey was the best character that.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Was so good when she was just pumped at her
daughter realized like, I can't do without the everyday that
we are accustomed to, and to.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Be honest, I just wanted a little bit of And
he saw almost like the most like foreshadowing look on
Patrick Schwarzenegger's face, kind of like when they got their
phone back when he looked at the dad. Yeah, but
that's all we got, and that like for a nine episodes,
this guy just popped fucking Benzas and didn't do dick
(25:59):
all well, and then tries to kill his family and
chooses not to. And then the weird incestuous brother just
doesn't clean out a fucking blender after being told that
the coconut milk was bad. He's like, fuck it, I'm
gonna make my first smoothie ever you like, And then
he doesn't even fucking die.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, right, because like how much I mean, I guess
you have to have a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Yeah, I mean, shit, carry some narcan on you. Also,
I think JJ Watt, you know, a beacon of morality
as well as television prowess, was like, call me crazy,
but a wellness retreat with a bunch of poisonous trees
just hanging around doesn't sound like a great idea. Like
some of this stuff was just so fucking stupid, like
(26:43):
and like they didn't circle back to like when Zion,
the son of Belinda, was in the water hiding from gunshots,
sees the body floating up, how the fuck was that possibly?
Even Walton Goggins, if he was sitting there Yin and
Yang underneath the bridge next to Emmy Lou you know, Chelsea.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Could have been one of those guards or whatever. Yeah,
but it's also the fact that that was his dad allegedly.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, And you kind of saw that in the penultimate
when he said that, when Rick said, when Walton Goggin
said the woman's name, he was like, what Bethany Hamilton
or whatever. Yeah, and he's like and then he comes
back and he's like, your mom was a whore. And
it's like, oh, oh, he's gonna kill you later. But
at the same time, the guy becomes fucking Jason Bourne
(27:32):
for thirty seconds and starts popping guards from seventy yards
with a pistol, only to see his lifelong partner pass. Like, yeah,
I just thought, I mean, I understand Mike White likes
to have these odds and ends and like no true
like fluidity in the plot and all that, but I
personally think Chris, you would enjoy the first two seasons
(27:54):
as well if you like the third season. I just
thought it was very lackluster, was slow, waiting for something
to happen, and then what happened was all of fourteen
seconds at the end, Like there was no other fun
stuff like going down throughout. I mean yeah, And I
feel like the most talked about point was like the
(28:15):
brothers jerking each other off was possibly the most talked
about point of the whole season, beyond the disappointment from
fans that in same Rockwall's monologue dude, yeah, fucking Sam
Rockwell wins And did you know he's actually married, Yeah,
to the to the Republican girl, Yeah, yeah, the one
that was in the league the original season, which she
tried to shut the finger in the dude's ass, but
(28:38):
he was Yeah, Sam Rockwell, and then the girl who
passes where easily the two of the i'd say the
runner ups, and then uh, Parker Posey wins Character of
the Year. And usually you know, from one to two
they brought someone through, and then from two to three
they brought a character two through. So from three to four,
(28:58):
I would love to want kind of make you wonder
who would be the characters that would kind of stay
in the concept of the show. But I think you're
not gonna see anymore Belinda because she just wants to
go be rich. Yeah, and rightfully. So if I got
five million dollars, not only would I hang out in
Southeast Asia where the dollar goes like seven zillion times further,
But at the same time, yeah, get the fuck out there. Yeah,
(29:21):
you know, don't go work for a hotel chain. And
if you own the White Lotus, are you not, just
like the fuck's going on in my goddamn resorts, Like
someone dies every fucking year from some tragic murder mystery.
It's like it's like that. It's like Clue, but without
Tim Curry.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Unless the next White lotus is Belinda's starting her own thing.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I doubt it. I bet they find someone new with
a different plot to kind of run with. Maybe it's
Parker Posey and her husband's in jail and she's like,
I am taking this time to breathe, But I don't know.
I'd say, take your fucking sweet time writing the next
fucking plot lines and the whole script, because it felt
like he wanted just to go ten episodes instead of
(30:05):
eight or something to that tune, and it just didn't.
It didn't like and like last week's was so fucking slow,
like Rick just pushes his dad over in a chair,
Like obviously the party scene in Bangkok was cool, but
like there's just so much like frivolous, like bullshit throughout
the season, where they could have at least tried to
(30:25):
tie some stuff together, like and then like the whole
Russian thing, like nobody gives a shit and then mooke
like Lalisa is the most popular person on that show.
She had like six fucking lines over ten episodes, Like
we had so much guy talk and obviously there was
like an ethos as to why he chose to do
(30:45):
what he did, which was very cowardice, despite being portrayed
as brave shooting someone in the back carrying someone that
was Despite all of that, I was just I was
left wanting more, not more episodes, just more finished plot lines.
So that's why I'm very excited about the Pits finale
(31:10):
this week.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Man, they got a lot to wrap up. But like, yeah,
I mean I don't really know what happens because now
like the the Calm has you know, well, I guess
we don't want to give too much away. I haven't
watched it. Yeah, but I love the fact that like
it addresses like modern day problems and then it also
(31:35):
has like funny, like really timely relevance, like for the
last one when the kid came in with fucking measles
and then those parents are like trying to.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Be to Google.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, man, I could you imagine like being a physician
and not and trying to hold it together and not
lose it or lash out against like stupidity.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
And I mean, we can go back to we were
doing this podcast, you know, we've been for seven fucking years, Chris.
If we went back to the ones during the pandemic,
I think we said something like if someone in ject's
bleach or they start taking in ibermactin and then they
come in unvaccinated with like you know, late stage COVID
(32:16):
like failures of like lungs and are like flooded, you know, fluids.
Fucking I mean, I know, you sign an oath, but
so did the lawyers under the Department of Justice, and
they're not adhering to theirs, you know, and the ones
that do get kicked off the fucking squad. So start
training these morons as they should be treated, you know,
like start yelling in their face and be like, you
(32:38):
know what, fine, let your fucking kid die.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
You know, right. But the only thing is then you're
putting other kids at risk and shit like that too
with some of these idiots.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well they're doing that those other kids were at risk,
like her other kid was already sick, which got this
kid sick, right, But they address everything from like the
actual issues of working in a healthcare system where it's
all about profits instead of people talking about the issues
of you know, working in a public health hospital, like
the wait times for trauma and like you know, triage
(33:09):
and things of that nature taking priority, as well as
gun violence being an issue, you know, mental health inside
of kids that could easily, you know, take the lives
of themselves or those that they love.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
It's a good show.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
It's a great show. It's I mean, it's it's my
favorite show that I've watched recently. And I mean, I
know Severance has got a great cult following and that
had a great finale, and it's a kind of a
wonky show, but the pit is one where it's like
the acting from Noah Wolf for Wilde or whatever his
(33:42):
name is. He deserves that.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
Oscar dude, he's really fucking good, right.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
And it's not just like he's been a doctor for
thirty years on television. He was also a librarian, you know,
like he's got he's earned his stripes. That guy fucking whales.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Yeah, I mean, like I feel like this this is
a show that HBO needed because they've been struggling ever since.
You know, some of their big hits have gone under Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Us was coming back this weekend? Is that and that one?
You know, I feel like the video games turned television
shows have done fairly well in terms of like they
get their audience of the gamers. But if you do
it right, you pick up everybody that likes just Sunday
night television. Yeah, because I mean it's a perfect time
for them to start because the bar is so fucking low.
(34:31):
Shout out to Mike White that everyone's gonna be excited
because they finished that one. Season one finished really well
with him seeing his brother and then the trailers make
it look like zombies are coming. Yeah, man, I forgot.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
How weird those fucking creatures looked. Yeah, like their heads
are like because.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
It isn't it? Oh yeah? And like you know when
they had that city that got overrun, and then like
they even had episodes that were really pulling at the heartstrings,
like in the Drama Core, Like I think Nick Offerman
won one for like that very heavy, but at the
(35:14):
same time, that's what good writing should do. Like it
can take you away from the large scale plot and
synopsis of the show and make you focus on one
individual story and still have you enthralled as maybe the
next episode when you pick up again where they left off,
you're not It's not like the women tell all episode
(35:35):
of The Bachelor, you know, where it's like, oh, the
finales next week. It was perfect in season one and
as a not we're not gamers and so we don't
really know how the the that game goes about, so
I'm very intrigued to have it start back up.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
You need to remember when you try to become gamers.
There for a brief period during COVID we got the
PS five, Yeah, and we played it like we played
it pretty solidly for about thirty days and.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Then we were just kind of like you wanna go
eat ass in the park, which was much way more fun,
way more fun. And we're getting to that weather again,
you know, cooking Sunday suppers are coming back, parties in
the park and you know talking this week, well obviously
we're gonna have you probably saw it on social media
this morning, but you know happy hour menus where people
(36:23):
are trying to get out of the office, they're jones
in the weather's prime, golf is ripping and roaring. The
Masters are this weekend, and then Serrus Social Club is opening,
so there's a lot of cool stuff on the horizon,
so it's gonna be really neat. Yeah, So either way,
(36:45):
I thought that was a pretty good episode. Y'all. If
you are not a member of the Serrus Social Club newsletter,
you need art to be a preferred member. You can
sign up and you will get preferred options for getting
a reservation. I don't know if it's gonna be as
contentious as like a Cossa Benita, but I think they're
(37:08):
going to go through the air subscribers before it's just
open for walkins. Don't hold me to that. You'll know
more about it on Thursday. So stay tuned. We're back. Interviews, guests,
fun things to do in the community, inside, outside, drug induced,
(37:29):
booze induced, sometimes sobers stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Not me, but occasionally I'm hoping. I'm hoping to hit
some maybe if I have a little bit of free
time this week and when I'm down in Scottsdale, hoping
to hit one or two cool food spots.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
So you have a wedding in Scottsdale this weekend? Is
that correct?
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I do so, I think for sure. Steph and I
want to check out Pizzeria Bianco.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Yeah, they have a couple locations.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, I think we're trying to go to the OG
but okay, if that doesn't work out, we'll find something else.
And then, uh, I'm doing some other searches to see
if we can find a couple of nice grub spots.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Okay, I mean that doesn't sound like a bad one,
and it feels like it's a little bit different down there.
Like there's a bunch of taco spots that you definitely
should try to check out, right, but I don't know
which ones are, you know, the revolutionary ones, right. But
their city is like it's so big but not oftentimes
thought of as like this food mecha like other you know,
(38:33):
towns or cities across the country.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
But I think they've got some upcoming stuff like up
and coming. I mean, I've heard a few spots around there,
but it's just I just don't know like kind of
what the order of things will be and how much
how much pool I have among the groups.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
So yeah, And so that's the thing about weddings, Like
I gotta go to one in Connecticut later this year,
and everyone's like, you gotta go here, you gotta go there.
It's like I'm a plus one at that. It's like
I don't have the leisure of like, oh, jump on
the train and go down to fucking New Haven. It's
like I'm kind of at the mercy of everybody else,
which sucks because when I like to travel, I travel
(39:13):
based off of where I want to eat or when
I travel I don't look at you know, hikes in
the area. I look at restaurants and bars like I
pick locations that I'm going to based off of things
I want to eat, like Italy. You know the reason
I love Portugal, friendly priced, great fucking food, oftentimes unsuspecting,
you know, things like that. But also you know, I'll
(39:35):
go to fucking Thailand, send my ass to Bangkok. I
don't even need to go to the resort towns of
Fouquet and whatnot. I'll just do the night markets and
just slaughter fucking meats on skewers and nudes for days.
Love meets right. You can't beat it with a stick,
so we'll have a lot more of meats on skewers.
Food reviews, recaps on next week's episode. Well, if Chris
(39:56):
coming back from the desert, I will be of bunkerd
in watching golf for four days, smoking copious amounts of dosia.
Thanks for our friends over at Muraki. That pretty much
wraps it up, Chris. Anything we missed this week, not
that I can think of, I can't either, So everyone, y'all,
stay high, stay hungry, Go Rockies. Cheers
