Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, everybody, welcome back to the site show. My

(00:02):
name is Mingo.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Is his birthday girl? Anna's dad, Tony?

Speaker 1 (00:08):
How much did she pay you to do that?

Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's her birthday month? Kid, even though there's only what
ten days left?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah? Yeah, God.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Already September kid, next thing, you know, it's gonna be
twenty twenty six.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Man, it's almost my birthday month. Oh that's right on,
uh for real, Wow, that'll be good business right there.
I'm gonna start putting up gift ideas online just to
give you guys a blow. Yo.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Seven day's time, September first. Just every day you just
be like, yo, it's my birthday month.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yo. All right, you heard it from Tony. That's what's
gonna be happening. So wow, dude, we're like almost back
on track. It was only we missed the week and
now right yeah yeah what happened last week? Oh no,
I was my my day's off. I think because they're
so screwy and I fight out last minute sometimes and

(01:01):
they're not conducive to recording. For everybody, this should happens,
you know what I'm saying. It hasn't been not hot
this year on no, not at all, So what do
you think it is? Is it because it rained so
much last year.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
That I don't know, I don't know. I'm just hoping
the heat won't stay longer because it really never arrived, right,
that's my wish.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
So I well, hopefully by the end of next month,
right like middle well or October, right middle of October
at the latest.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
No, well, yeah, yeah, right, but as soon as that
time change whenever it is. That's kind of like uh,
daylight saving time. That's kind of when it really.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Switches daylight saving that's such a stupid thing.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
When do we get when do we get get rid
of that?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know, that's a very good question. Actually makes no sense.
Damn this year comes late too, November two. It's usually
in October, really, yeah, because kids come trick or treating
and it gets darker faster.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Ask your question, because I know you bought this up.
You made it a real light, you made it a
real point to point that out to me one year,
and I'm just wondering how many blue buckets did you get.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
I couldn't tell you how many, and I couldn't even
say it was that many. However, there were some, there
were something yeah, because it's now it's noticeable. Now you
pay attention. Well I shouldn't say you pay attention, but
when when you see one, it's like it automaticy kicks
in on what it is.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Did you ever feel like fucking with the kid that
they had a blue bucket?

Speaker 2 (03:02):
That's the Pacheco household kids, not the Lopez house because
like checkos don't do that.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Well because like you know, I grew up treat everybody
the same, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
But you just made it a point to say the
fuck with the person with the blue bucket? Well, right,
because you're gonna fuck with all the kids, right, Like no,
you sit there and say how cute, Oh that's a
great costume. You don't make them say positivity. You don't
make them say I'm positive. They should say uh uh
a trigger treat. No, I'm not that way. But our
buddy Luis is, Yeah, he makes it a point tradition.

(03:34):
He comes over every year they come over. We hang
out in my driveway and hand out candy. And if
the kids don't say anything, you don't get candies. What
do you say? What do you say? I'm like, damn kid.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
And they better say thank you? On the way out.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
I hear you, but no, I'm not like that. I
just appreciate them coming, dressing up, parents walking them. I
like that, to be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Kids walking them, you sound you make them sound like
they're an animal. Parents walking their kids, walking with their children,
taking their children out for a stroll in the evening,
to participate.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
Now that you mentioned that there's something that I said
that you want to ask. There's something you said that
I want to ask last recording my pizza oven. Yes,
what you said, well, I shouldn't say you said nobody
could see this, but your reaction, facial body language, you

(04:45):
might have even given me like the oh my god,
like you're the type kind of attitude.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Are you sure that's just not how you felt? No, no, no, no,
you didn't feel pretentious.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Nope. When I said it was hard for me to
put the pizza oven back because it's heavy, and I
put it in my in the box, you see right there,
you just did it again. You rolled your eyes, you
looked up at the at the ceiling. What's wrong with
keeping the box and putting it back in?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Well, does it make you feel like it's brand new
every time you take it out the box. No, but
it's so you already used it. Why you need to
put it back.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
In the box Because it's easier to store. Because it's
the box.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You take up more space, not to mention.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
No, you don't take up more spaces. It ain't like
there's like inches around this oven in the box. It's
pretty much it fits right in it.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
No, there's foaming the corners. You're you're losing a good
four probably.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, okay, well I can tell you that, but it ain't.
It's not going out any further. Is that any wider? Well,
because I can't put something under it while I'm sitting
on the floor.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I just don't. I just I don't understand. Like shoes,
I get how because there's two of them, and you
want to make sure that you keep your parents together.
And you don't want things in your closet if they're
you know, like on the floor whatever, you want anybody
kicking them or scovering them. I get it.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Who goes in your closet? Just me? Okay, if you
were married, who goes in your closet?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Just me? Okay, you her closet is going to be
in another room. Just kidding, just kidding, just kidding.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
But again, but it's the whole eye roll that you
hit me. I mean, I don't even think you realized
you did it.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
I didn't like right now when you sat shit, I'm
going to turn my face down right quick. I didn't
know I was talking that loud. No, because it's just
it's one of those things like you're totally that person
that would keep like like I know that you DJ,
that doesn't DJ, but if you had speakers, you probably

(07:05):
keep the speakers in the box. Now put them out
the box until every time you use them.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
No, first, first of all, first and foremost, it's my
old lady that's keeping it.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
In the box, keeping one in the box up.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
No, No at all, because I'll be honest with you,
it's it works out better that it's in the box
because we could stack something else on top of it.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
It makes more sense that it's your wife than it
is you.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Not to say that I wouldn't do it, I probably
would not have because I would have thrown the box
out and then figured out where I'm gonna store it
later where she's like, Okay, it's gonna go in this corner,
and the best way to do it is to keep
it in the box.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
I'm just gonna tell you you are seconds away from
putting your foot in your mouth, so you probably want
to just back out where you are right now?

Speaker 2 (07:57):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (07:58):
I don't say something that walk in the house and
you'd be like, fucking me, gonna always get me in trouble,
or more of a like give me your true home, dude.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Again, I would just throw the box out and figure
out where I'm gonna put it later. But she's like,
you know, she thinks ahead and says, this is this
is pretty big, this is pretty heavy. It's not gonna
be able to go up on a shelf somewhere. It's
gonna have to go on a floor. And let's just
leave it in the box, and that way we can
stack things on top of it.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
Boom. As as much as I would assume that you're
gonna make that you're gonna be using your two minute
beaza oven, why would you want to stack anything on
top of it? Just playing Devil's advocate, I'm just asking
a question. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Again, real estate in that pantry is very limited, and
had I not kept the box, it would have been
like in the corner, and that's all I would go there,
whereas now there's a my my domemaker is in the box.
That's the top of it.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Jesus, I got my own little Italian corner in my closet.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
And I'll actuality I do, because I got the pizza
peels hanging on the walls.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
The pizza what peels? A pizza peel? The big SPECIALA
oh oh, because he peeled off the stone that I.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Don't know, because I don't even know why it's called
a peel, But that's what it's.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Called, Okay, I remember. I never heard it call that though.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Until I started doing this, I didn't either.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Where did you hear that at?

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Because it came in the box. It comes with one. Yeah,
and then you know, after reading watching videos and how
to make them and stuff like that, that's what they're
called pizza peels. And I I remember either Christmas sometimes
I got the h the ice cream joint. Okay, we

(10:08):
didn't keep the box for that, okay. And it's it's
like it's kind of heavy, but it's like taller than
think of a coffee maker, okay, but it's skinnier but
taller than that.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
It's kind of pay it is because it's an awkward shape.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
Right it is. Had I kept the box.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
You wouldn't have had nowhere to put it would been
on the floor.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
It's damn near on the floor. Now it's it's it.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
You know.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
We can't put it anywhere because of how tall it is.
It doesn't really fit on the shelf.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
You know, maybe you could find space for it in
your organized garage.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Why do you want to.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
I told you you were seconds away. You didn't listen.
You want to keep on going. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
My garage is like eighty percent there it's ritten. Dude,
Next time you come, you gotta check out my garage.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
So you got you got eighty You got eighty percent
space for your ice cream maker. It ain't got to
be all awkward in the closet, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Well, it's not in the closet. That's the problem. Is
in the dining room. Oh yeah, it's rough.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yeah, you need a bigger house pro.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Line.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
Funk. I was gonna hit you about something you just said.
So okay, So when you when you okay, this was
a question you hit me with off the air. Okay,
at the at the show that we went to at
well never what that's called the show? Yes, so you

(11:49):
know we had gone to the casino at the show,
and we went to go see a couple of rock bands,
sub tribute bands or whatever. And you would add, as me,
because Tony maybe made me buy my own mazzarella cheese,
just because you didn't know which which one I would prefer,
which one would work better.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
For my tell me issues what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
So I am because I'm lactose to tolerant, I can't
do like processed cheese. So like the mozzarella cheese that
you buy in a bag, they shredded is usually processed,
so it's made so that it's for quick consumption. There's
when you buy real mozzarella or real age cheese, it's

(12:32):
not put through that same that that same process, and
so it keeps all of the nutrients and all the
stuff that's supposed to be in there that will help
you digest it. So you asked me if I if
I used, if you would have used the shredded cheese
on your pizza, on my pizza, how quickly would I

(12:55):
have been surrendered to the toilet?

Speaker 2 (12:59):
All right, hold on a second, let's start from the beginning,
I was making pizzas for everyone.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
And how to the beginning? Are we going go ahead?
Go ahead?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Well, I was making pizzas for everyone, and I did
believe it was Robert that mentioned you having to go
potty on yourself. I mean the pizza as a joke, right,
So I hit you in our group text, right, So
I hit you on the side and I was like, hey,

(13:32):
Rob made a pretty good point. Why don't you go
ahead and get the cheese that will work for you?
Because I don't want to be the cause of you
being on the toilet blowing your pants up while we're
at the concert.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
But he was okay paying for a cauliflower crust for Rob.
I didn't get no kidding, I remember, no, but that's
but that's what that's what caused. It was all that
bullshit was But anyways, no, and I appreciate you doing
that because that saved me a lot of pain that evening.
But you would ask me on the side, like how
how long would it take for you know, that shredded

(14:08):
bullshit cheese for it to hit me? And sometimes it
could be while I'm EATI it. Sometimes it could be
within twenty minutes. Crazy yeah. My ex wife never believed me.
But I I can only tell you from incidents that
had happened, Like i'd be eating chea oh shit, I'd

(14:31):
be right back. But like that one, it took twenty
four hours for it to just but it didn't like
like it didn't like I didn't blow up, I didn't,
you know what I mean. It wasn't a mad dash.
So you just went well, I had like a little
a little stomach pain that right, You had a little
extra heavy you had a little extra heavy duty gas

(14:51):
and done.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
But other than that, I'd have been done. Bro, I
haven't a run to the bathroom. Might have been passing
gas all night. Just uncomfortable. It's terrible if it really
feels like somebody reaches in your stomach and grabs it
and like ringing it out like it's a wet towel,
like it's awful. It's painful. But sometimes bro, like people, well,

(15:16):
why do you eat cheese? Cuz? Man, like, sometimes it's
just fucking delicious.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
You gotta have pizza, kN you know what.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
I mean, Like you can't just you know, you gotta.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
Have other than a pizza and a sandwich. What else
do you have people put cheese on or wouldn't need
cheese for lasagna? Italian food in general, if you eat
like tacos, you don't have to have the cheese.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
No you don't, but sometimes it's good.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Well, I'm talking about like something that actually requires cheese.
Lasagna requires cheese, Pizza requires cheese. Taco don't a hamburger,
don't cheat.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's delicious. Have you ever had a.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
One?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
So it's a it's a green chili and they take
out all the seeds and ship and they just put
like a chunk of cheese in there. And then what
they do is they dip it in like a like
an egg white battery.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Oh, that shit is delicious and they fry it.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
That ship is bomb.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
No, I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
You with that ship again, I thought you were past that.
I thought you were like on and on and grooving
with new uh, with new delicacies and pasture whatever.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
You know. The funny thing is, my daughter just just
just mentioned this, which is totally true, and I guess
maybe subconsciously I knew it, but for actually to be said,
I was like, oh shit, you know what, you're right? Uh?
Puerto Rican food my mom's cooking. I'm like really taking

(16:54):
a liking to it now, whereas for the last forty
years I'll pass, No, I'm good, you know, really yeah,
But now it's like, and you know what it is.
I kind of I was thinking about it because when
she said, I was like, you know what, you're right, Like,
I'm really you know, And what I really think it
is is because it's always available, right, I'd rather not

(17:21):
have like I'd rather have something else. But knowing now
there's like a time frame on it, if you know
what i mean, clothes. Yeah, so it's like, oh shit,
I better like start learning how to make it, you know.
You know, now I'm starting to eat it. You know,
it's like, oh shit, pretty soon I'm going to be without.
So no, I need to start eating this stuff right

(17:43):
while I can.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
And so are your favorites the same or are they
starting to change with the more the more you try?

Speaker 2 (17:58):
It's pretty much the same everything that I would have liked.
I still I think I don't think I'm liking anything new. Ah.
But it's almost like like she now she says she's
making something, and usually I'll be like, no, I'm good.
Now I'm like yeah, make it make more than enough,
because I'll freeze it. You know what I'm saying, right,

(18:19):
and yo, that's what we've been doing.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Have you have you tried unfreezing the cheese because the
cheese that I took to his house he froze.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Frozen yet.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
I don't know much longer good anymore?

Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh no, ship, I didn't even think about that. I
don't think I froze it.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
It's been a week, right, two weeks?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Two weeks?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, probably no ship.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, why because it's natural, because it's not pasteurized and stuff.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, most cheese only last a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
Right, I mean, I mean I feel it real good.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Well, yeah, but you know it's probably got you know,
probably got spots on it. Probably cut those off good.
You know what your mom do? Make you do that
growing up? Just cut the just cut the green.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Because we always had just the craft singles. So like
the hard corners, those should just peel off, and oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Just break the dark orange corners off.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
You end up, what you do is you kind of
like fold it over and it'll naturally split just like
you know, so you know you got it.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
M good. Lord. We used to get those. We used
to get those the bricks of government cheese. Oh not,
come on, bro, you couldn't melt those motherfuckers at all, dude.
And then like the corners would like my mom would
make it, like make beans, right, and she cut up
and put little chunks of that cheese and the only

(19:47):
thing in there that didn't get fucking hot, bro, Like,
God damn, that ship was fun you talking about And
maybe that's what fucked my stomach cup was eating that
ship growing up, like that's the nuclear government cheese. Like,
holy shit, Bro, tough stuff, tough stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Did you eat the food? Did I say it has
saved you?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
I have not. It's in the freezer. Oh yeah, it's
in freezer though, because so my Liao's friend that's living
with this chili, but he could cook, Bro, that kid
could cook. I've never eaten salmon before, and that kid
made salmon one night and he said, he said, Pops,
I'm gonna make you something. I'm gonna make you some
salmon Alrchael. I've never had it before, but he's all,

(20:31):
you'll like it. You like it. B He must have
put every fucking season and I had on that ship.
And I came out and I tried it, I was like, God, damn,
that's delicious. The kid can cook, dude, It's really really
really good. And then like Milo kills me, like like

(20:52):
I I've been craving and I've been wanting to make
don't I don't know if you know what that is? Like uh,
like rice pudding almost, or Mexican rice pudding. So it's
like a it's like a thick or chatta basically with
the rice still in it. That shit is bombed, dude.
Oh my god, my mom used to make that and

(21:13):
toast bread for breakfast. Bro. Between me and my dad
my mom, we go through like a whole loaf of
bread and fucking the tubble rice to shoe with me.
That shit was delicious. So they were just like the
rice with water, a can of condensed sweet and condensed milk,
a can of evaporated milk, and a couple of cinnamon

(21:34):
sticks and you let that shit boil for a couple
hours and let it kind of you know, soften up
the rice AND's Oh that shit is soad bombed, bro,
But I don't know how to make it, you know
what I mean? Like small amounts, like it's two cups
of rice that's four cups, are two cups of water,

(21:55):
a can of sweet and condensed milk, a can of
the other one. Yeah, and you're two sticks. You don't
put anything else in the world.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
So you just told me how to make it, and
you're telling them you don't know how to make it.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
I don't know how to make small portions, so like
freeze it. Well, there you go, fucking freezing sols everything.
I'm sorry, I don't have an.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
I freeze everything kid.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yeah, but you got one of them fancy freezer bag things, right, Like, yeah,
I gotta sit there with a straw in the corner
of my zip lock bag trying to get all the
air out. You know what I'm saying. Have you ever
done that? Neither, But I'm assuming that's what I would
have to do.

Speaker 2 (22:36):
But okay, so what's the I just didn't.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Want to make it and make all the extra and
I didn't want to get pissed off because I make
it and my love them don't want to try it.
Like damn I made all his motherfucking rice with you
know what I mean, Like.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Damn son because he had two coats of rice.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
Is a lot, kid, It is when you know what
I mean once it's all fluffed up and she'd be like, God, damn,
what I'm gonna do with this pot of rice? But
eventually I'll make it. Eventually I'll do.

Speaker 2 (23:00):
How long would that last? A refrigerator?

Speaker 1 (23:03):
Is it?

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Or is it something you have to eat right then
and there and it's done?

Speaker 1 (23:07):
I like it. I like it warm. So not that
not to say that I couldn't heat it up right.
I don't know what it would be like because we
never owned a you know, we didn't have microwaves back then,
so you ate it, and but you didn't it was
in the fridge.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
So isn't it bugged out that our generation is the
ones that we got introduced to the microwave, We got
introduced to cordless phones.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
You know, took a sets to records.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I don't know if you remember. Uh the what I
think is the first movie channel box. You have to
put your TV on channel three and then the box
on top. You hit the switch. You have to. It
was just a left or right with the dial.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
My grandmother when microwaves first started, she wouldn't fuck with it.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
My dad wouldn't buy my mom one. Like now you
run to the top of the dose for.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
And she just couldn't wrap her head around how it
heats it up. So she's like, no, thaty you know
that ain't right.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
That's the devil's appliance.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
But back to your rice pudding. I mean, come on, bro,
you can make it and eat it that two days
in a row. Get a loaf of bread, half one
half of the loaf one day and the other half
the next. I mean, what's the worst that can happened?
You throw it out?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah? You know what I would do, though, is if
that happened, like if I tried it the next day,
I was like, yeah, let's I just take it to work.
Let them white. Oh look, white people, this is what
we make. Enjoy it. Oh my god, I ain't God,
that's delicious. Where do you learn how to make that? Oh?
My mammy used to make it for me. My man

(25:02):
may love that stuff. I don't know what the hell
just happened to me.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I had just I just told my mom that what
I want to do is I want to buy, like
go to Costco and buy the big package of ground
beef and and have her teach me how to make
the emp anonyma. And then I'll just freeze it in
portions and when I'm ready to make them, pull them
out and put them in the discs.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
I'm glad you brought that up, because the bananas that
you gave me are really white. Is it just because
they're they're frozen? Or do I have to cook them? Oh?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, you gotta cook them. You got deep fry them
or not? At least you know, I didn't tell you that.
Oh I had my whole speech ready, I didn't say it. Yeah, Doug,
you got to cook these in oil. Don't burn them.
Don't walk away because it's not gonna take that long
to brown up on each side.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
Can I just do them in the deep fryer or
in the air fire, so it's better for me? You
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
You can give it a try.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
I'm all about health.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
At one point I will probably give that a try.
But right now I needed to I need the real jo.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Is there? Olive oil, avocado oil, canola oil, vegetab oiled vegetaboil.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Keep it easy?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right? All right? What else?

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Just again? You know I told my mom. You know,
I'm gonna buy a big ass pack of meat because
I need to make those I need to learn how
to make them. And because I need, I need to
start grubbing on those, because that and pizza right now

That's where you're. That's where you're That's what you're stuck
on right now. What uh? What what do you like?
Do you make? What? What do you do on your pizzas?
For yourself?

Speaker 2 (26:50):

Speaker 1 (26:59):
So if you make pepper you don't put cheese on it?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
No, no, no, I mean either just playing cheese or a

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Now you got your own pizza spot at home, Like.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
We'll get to that in a second. But whenever, it
seems like whenever, I just want to get a quick slice,
a couple of slices, because the last two times we
went and hopefully this will be a common occurrence if
we leave late enough on Sunday, Yeah, and the pizza
spots open. You know, I drive to the front because

Speaker 1 (29:21):
That is it?

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Uh? Vanilla ice cream? I'm good. You know what I'm saying.
It's just like I'm good now.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
You just like just twinkies?

Speaker 2 (29:34):
Ah, No, I'm not a twinking kind of guy. Still. Still,
it's gotta be chocolate.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Come on, So what is not zingers? Chocolate singers? What
about the chocolate twinkies? Have you seen the new Reese's
peanut butter cookies. They're like animal crackers that are peanut
butter and dipped in chocolate. No. Oh, those motherfuckers are

(30:02):
bomb bro really yeah, really really good. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
I saw a video and there's already a product on
the market. Okay, and I haven't gotten it in a
long time.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Okay, So this.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
Is something that we've always had that I've never thought
about doing. It's called cake and a cup.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Like you. It's in the box. It's like four packages
of cake mix and four packages of like smaller packages
of frosting.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Now they do this a lot during Christmas, and because
it comes with the actual microwavable cup.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh is that right?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I've never seen that, and it's not bad. I ain't
gonna lie. It's one of those quick fixes. You know,
you want a nice piece of cake frosting, you're good.
And I was getting them for a while.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Just enough to curb that.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yes, okay, But for whatever reason, I haven't gotten him
in a while, like years. I think my lady let
me forget about him, and she's just stopped buying him.
I came across a video of a dude, you know,
getting the cake mix, you know, the regular whatever Pillsbury

(31:20):
cake mix, right, and a thing of frosting, and he's like, okay,
you take three maybe, yeah, three tablespoons of the cake mix,
two tablespoons of milk, stirred up, putting a micro away
for I don't know how long? He said, two minutes.
And it's the same thing I was buying in those boxes.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
For twenty dollars when you can buy the cake mix
for a dollar.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Time know what I'm saying. But not only that I
learned about I came across cake in a cup when
I was let's say, fifty fifty one fifty two. Dude,
I could have been doing this for twenty thirty years.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yeah, you see what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I mean, you don't have to make the whole cake mix.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Dog, It's amazing. Like Chikstok is such a fucking rabbit
hole of of uh of ship that you never thought about,
or ship that other people figured out, and you're like, yep,
what the fuck? Because there's that there's a there's a
mechanic guy that says, uh what's his catchwise? Oh, I

(32:33):
can't remember what his fucking I can't remember what his
his uh phrases, but he always said, no, huh fuck no,
somebody got anyways, he'll go out and try it and
it fucking works. Right. Like you've had WD forty, you
keep w D forty around for ship that you have

(32:54):
to work on, right, do you always lose the little
red yes, you know those big pins, right, Yes, the
ones we used to have in high school with the
clear cylinders. Right. So this guy, what he did was
he'd take a big pin and he'd zip tie it

(33:15):
to the can. Then he'd take the cap off the end,
pull the pin part of it out, put the little
red straw in the clear part of the pin, and
put the cap back on it. So it's always on
your candidate's always there. I was like, that makes a
lot of fucking sense. Why wouldn't we have done that?

(33:36):
Or like you have you know, you have a ratchet
set right, and you know you have nine sixteens, you
have half inch you have, but middle of the day
you're trying to find the right size. You got him
kind of mixed up. You reach it there and you're
trying to find and see the writing on him, but
you really can't. This dude, what he did is he

(33:58):
took him and he cleaned them right, and then he
went and bought himself some I believe yellow paint and
he painted on him and then wiped it off. Well,
all the paint that went into the groove. Once he
wiped it off, it would just said the brand and
the size of the of the ratchet. I was like, well,

(34:21):
that fucking makes a lot of fucking sense. So all
these little fucking things, and there's this older white guy
that are you telling me?

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I for forty years.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, he's the one that told me about uh shit,
what are they called? Uh cinnamon rolls in tortillas? Have
you ever seen that one? He makes the mix, the
cinnamon mix with brown sugar, cinnamon and like butter. Right,
and he takes forth tortillas and he wipes that ship

(34:55):
in there. He rolls him up and he cuts the
tortillas and he puts them in a in a baking sheet. Well,
that's doing it. You take some heavy whipping cream, you
take some sugar, you make your own cream that goes
on top, and when they're done, you just now you
got your own little Mexican style Siminaros. I was like,
you got about a bitch. All this time I could

(35:16):
have been having because what Mexican don't have tortillas all
the time.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
I just learned one thing. I haven't tried it, and
uh not that I wouldn't, but I again, it's one
of those things. Does it really work?

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Right?

Speaker 2 (35:34):
In your car? You got your cup holders? Okay, the
ones that are front to back, not the side to side. Okay, Okay,
you go to McDonald's and you get the cup holder.
Therefore the cup holder that you know, the cardboard joint, right,
they say you're supposed to slip it into your cup holder.

(35:56):
So two of your drinks are in the cup holder
and two are hanging on the cardboard, and it's supposed
it's supposed to work.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Like when you say the cardboard you're talking about the
ones that are like, uh, like egg egg joints.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, really, Yeah, they're sized to go into a cup holder.
So again two of them are in the cup holder
and the other two are like close to the passenger.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I thought you were going to tell me that. Uh.
If you go to like McDonald's and you have your cup,
the straw goes like you know when you open it up,
when you open up the big Mac and you have
that that little ridge between where the big mac sits
and the open side that there's a place where you
cut you cut it open so your straw fits through,

(36:40):
you pour your your French fries in the in the
other side, and then that way you basically your own
fucking tray. So like let's say this was your your
your glass, right, the straw sticking up. You have one
tray here with your with your burger the other side
put it on. Yeah, like a saddle bag for your

(37:01):
drink and shit. Now now you call it a saddle bag.
That's not very attractive, but you know what I'm saying,
it's crazy. It was some other shit that I saw too,
Like there was one where grandma got pissed off at
the granddaughter because she would take the She was in
the kitchen and her grandma had cooked, and the girl

(37:22):
goes and takes the lid off and just puts it
on the stover on the counter, and the grandma grabs
the lid and puts it on like between the lip
of the of the bowl or the pot and the handle,
you know what I'm talking about. So like let's say
this is your pot, right, and they have handles like this.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, like the two over hands.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
So instead of taking off the top and putting it
over here, she's taking it and putting it in the handle,
and the lip of the pot catches it from falling over.
So the lid is sitting like this, yeah, so that
way it doesn't drip all over the place all over
the counters and ship. Grandma just wiped off for your wife.

(38:12):
I'm not supposed to that. My bad, so that you
may have. We just wiped off, Tony Young.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
I cook at my house.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
That's what I said. I was giving you credit. Shit,
I'm bad. Mm hmm. How have your customers been? Have
they been weird with you like the last couple of weeks. No,
they seem normal. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Actually I haven't really seen them because it's been so
hot that people are staying inside. A lot of my
homes are vacant. Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
Well that's what's nice about your job. We're fucking customers
are never home or out of the country or whatever,
or out of the city.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
Yeah, it's not too bad right now. Fuck it's it's
it's slow. Uh, but it's hot, right so you know,
now in the wintertime it'll be nice and cool, but
it'll be busy, you know, vacation Reynolds, everyone's coming to
bombs brings.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
So during the during the winter, do you still have
a lot of people that you actually use the pool?

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Really eat them. I don't know about it, trust me.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Uh Now, back when I first started, it used to
be do it used to be great because I you know,
I was just working class people, right, dog. I would
I used to, like, for example, Thanksgiving week, I would
just work that Monday Tuesday and that was it. Pools
of cold. Nobody's using them. You know, Thanksgiving is Thursday,

(39:50):
so I'm not working Thursday. Wednesdays my repair day and
on schedule, schedule and anything. And the Friday, I just
don't bother.

Speaker 1 (39:57):

Speaker 2 (39:58):
Now? I still try to take Thursday, well, definitely Thursday,
but I try to take that Friday off as well.
The last couple of years been working out, But dude,

Speaker 1 (41:09):
So you said, my son, So it's just by himself.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Yeah, he prefers it that way.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
Have you ever gone anywhere by yourself? I mean besides
the pool supply store?

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Well, I mean it's a whole different. I mean I
never went anywhere and to be able to go by myself,
you know what I'm saying. I didn't take vacations when
I was twenty five years old.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
Could you fuck? Could you imagine?

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I mean again, I got married when I was twenty five,
So my mom, you're fuck that. My mom moved out.
You know, my brother and I and my mom lived
together and she got remarried. So she's the one who
actually left us.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
She was like, oh, these kids ain't going nowhere to
check me out, this bitch.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
So that was like in her early twenties. You know,
I remember my mom living with us when I was
twenty one, because when I turned twenty one, she was home.
I got married when I was twenty five, so somewhere
in the middle there she moved out, let's say twenty
three for shits and googles. Okay, I never went anywhere
before she moved out. I never went anywhere after she's

(42:22):
moved out, you know what I'm saying, So for me
to go somewhere, but yeah, I wanted. I used to go
to movies by myself. Yeah, I mean, you know, if
I want to go catch a movie.

Speaker 1 (42:31):
How old were you when you went to the movies
by yourself?

Speaker 2 (42:34):
The first movie I saw by myself I remember specifically
was No Jedi.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Oh. I thought maybe it was that one of them
stores where I had little machines or what.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Now I was Revenge returning to Jedi.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
Okay, what did you go by yourself?

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Because it had just came out, and I mean I
was young. I wanted to see it again. I got
dropped off at the Camelot movie theater behind the high
school side school, Okay, and I got picked up when
it was you know over you know.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
All those years, I never went to that movie theater.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
What that was the spot kid? Never went to that one?
Always went there, you know, which one was.

Speaker 1 (43:16):
Dope that that people didn't that a lot of people
didn't go to. And I wanted to say it was Camelot,
but maybe that's not what it was. And now I
don't I don't know the name was it. Where was
Palm Stapines.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
At pop Disert? Crushed you from the mall.

Speaker 1 (43:32):

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yeah, yeah, you had to know it was there. Yeah,
and then they did the one at the mall and
then it was all over. Yeah. We were more of
a of a driving family because everybody would get in
the truck.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
Oh so you had a car growing up, must be nice.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Well, no, it was. It was actually my sister's boyfriend
at the time. All right, every to get in the trunk.
All right, we'd go and right there on on Ramon Road.
We stopped at seventy eleven and he'd fill up drinks
or whatever whatnot. All right, everybody get in the trunk,

there and there with a flashlight, just the two of

(44:16):

I accidentally got my mom high?

Speaker 1 (44:25):
You got your mom high.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Yeah, it was an accident though, like.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
Like not gummies high, but like high. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Uh. We had one car, okay family at this point
in time, we were we were in high school, and uh,
I took the car. We went to the driving and
I remember me and at the time my buddy Joeya Costa,
and we had you know, some other friends with us,

(44:54):
you know, right double date. So what we were doing
was we would to push in lighter. We'll push it
in and.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Put the flower off and then.

Speaker 2 (45:05):
Let it smoke up and then we you know, roll
up the windows and we're you know. So we did
that a couple of times. And the next day we
were going I think we're going to the pond as
a mall, my brother and my mom and myself. My
brother's driving. I was in the passenger seat and my
mom was in the backseat. So at the time, my

(45:27):
brother smoked cigarettes. So he pushed in the lighter and
we're just driving and it popped out and when he
pulled it out, it was smoking. And dude, we looked
at it. He looked at it. He was I remember
specifically seeing him look at it like with a strange
looked like what the fuck, and he kind of looked

(45:47):
at me, and I kind of looked at him, and
all of a sudden, you hear my mom saying, what's
that smell?

Speaker 1 (45:55):
Don't worry about it. Everything's gonna be all right.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
And so we're going and dude, you know, as smoky
as a guy. When we got halfway there, my mom
was like, man, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm hungry, and
we're like, ah shit, she got contact, she.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Got the monchies. Did she ever? Did you guys ever
tell her?

Speaker 2 (46:16):
I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
How bad would she have fucked you up?

Speaker 2 (46:19):
With you?

Speaker 1 (46:19):
To mom? I don't think I got you high today.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
Uh couldn't even have that conversation with her at the time.
There's no way, there is no way in the world.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Could you tell her now remember that one time?

Speaker 2 (46:31):
Yeah, I could tell her?

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah? Was she laughing off her?

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Would she laughed?

Speaker 1 (46:36):
But she still hit you though, right like smack you.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
I think she'd be more surprised that it was me
that did it, as opposed to my brother.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
Really, Rick's even more straight laced than you.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Back in the day, he was worse than me. Really,
Oh dude. One time, my uncle, my mom's brother lived
in New York at this particular moment in time, and
I was, like to say, in junior high and my
brother was already in high school. And at this time
he had a girlfriend. Her name was Michelle mad cool,

(47:11):
real nice, Oh dude. Everyone loved her. And so she
actually came out to visit without him, okay, and she
was here for a couple of weeks maybe I don't remember.
A couple of days before she left. She pulls me
to the side. She's like, hey, Anthony, your uncle wants
me to bring him home with some bud you know
you did you can get some for me? And I

(47:33):
was like, you ask me, well kind of yeah. I
was like, yo, you might want to talk to my brother,
you know, he's the one that and she looked at me,
She's like really. I was like yeah, she goes, but yeah,
you seem like the type that I was like, nah,
I don't because at the not that I ever did, uh.
But I was like, nah, I don't touch that stuff.
You got to talk to him, and she went and

(47:54):
told him. I think he went and hooked her up
with some stuff. Were you more of a drinker than
you junior high kid? I didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
And so were you ever into smoking weed or never?

Speaker 2 (48:06):
That was that was never my thing. And I mean
even throughout high school manual and the crew, that was
never our Drinking was our thing. Yeah right, we got
to drinking, but drugs and even weed now that was
never our thing. M all right, but yeah, good times.

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Yeah, No, you're right. I don't ever remember.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
And if anybody wants to know, the first time I
got high was my brother got me high.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Put your brother on today.

Speaker 2 (48:38):
He used to have this like a sixty seven Mustang.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Yeah uh.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
And my uncle Domingo was down one summer and we
were rolling with him and he asked, if I remember correctly,
I mean, I don't know how it happened. He would
have had to have asked us if we wanted, and
we would have had to have said yes. So we parked.
We were parked somewhere.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
You know that, You know that your uncle would have
had it.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
I don't know where he got it from, but it
was just definitely it was the three of us. I
remember being in the front seat and my head was like,
if I remember right, his driver's seats didn't have the
at rest, so like I was, my head was like
wedged between the seat. The seat was holding it up,

(49:25):
but it was leaning against the window, gotcha, And it
was just like I couldn't lift it. I was just gone, kid.
My uncle Dominga was in the back seat, gone.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Can you imagine that was the weed back in what
eight eighty six?

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Yeah, probably even sooner than that, but yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Okay, let's call it eighty five just to make math easy, right,
So eighty five twenty would make it zero five, So
that was forty years ago. Bro, imagine doing that shit
with the weed of today. You'll remember that MOVI movie
Fuck what Teaching Chong movie?

Speaker 2 (50:05):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (50:05):
Where they went and they were in the ferrari and
they ended up in a field and they smoked and
then they ended up driving off like it was a
fucking UFO. I don't remember that was the next movie,
Up and Smoke.

Speaker 2 (50:18):
It wasn't Up and Smoke, because that's I know that
one pretty good. And then.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
Was Up and Smoke where the one when.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
They had ice cream nice dreams.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
I may have been that one too, because yeah, anyways,
that like I'm assuming that that's how we would have
felt smoking the weed of today. Like there's like there's
news ship on it all the time. Oh, the weed
of today is way too strong, Like it's way stronger

(50:50):
than it used to be. Well, no ship, you know
what I mean. But how do you tell a kid that? Oh? Uh,
you know, and and the whole argument of oh, well,
it's just a plant. It's it's from the earth. God
gave us this. No, God gave you a plant that
that goes through a certain cycle and it takes you
a certain amount of time for it to grow. What

(51:12):
you're doing is you're manufacturing it and you're adding all
this extra shit to it so that it so that
it turns faster, and it grows faster and stronger and
more crystallized and bigger buds, and you're your turnaround times
a lot faster that shit has manufactured. That is the
definition of a motherfucking drug.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
Like there's one time I sound like a dad. There's
one time again this is dog sixteen years old.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Back back to Joey always seemed like he was a
bad influence for you. Uh yeah, I say that. He
him and his buddy, his body, He got his mom's van.
It was one of those dodge I don't know what
a voyager or something along those lines. And uh, they

(52:08):
picked me up in it, and Bro, we went to Tijuana.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
And again, Dog, I'm sixteen. I don't even think I'm
seventeen because by seventeen eighteen, I'm hanging out with you
and Manual. Right, so this is before that.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
So was Joey older than you?

Speaker 2 (52:30):
No, we're the same age. Okay, well we're in the
same grade. So if he was older, it had to
be just a year. But I think we were the
same age because we're definitely the same grade. I never
asked how old he was. How was that? So, Bro,

(52:51):
we had we had bud with us, right, Okay, so,
no backtrack. They rented a van his, the dude his,
but his mom rented a vank we took it.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Who runs a seventeen year old fucking band.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
The friend was definitely older than us, maybe two years.
So let's say the friend was eighteen. So we're in
Tijuana and we got we got weed with us, and
we're driving around and he must have somehow. No, back then,

(53:25):
there used to be bumper stickers of the rental company
that you had it from. Okay, we got we get
pulled over and the dude, I wouldn't say he was
smart enough to the cop, but you know, he wasn't
making it easy, right, you know, chip on your shoulder
at that age, I didn't do nothing wrong. Da da da.
And the guy was like, this is a rental unless

(53:47):
you got some sort of special insurance that it's not
allowed to come into Mexico. You're not allowed to take
it over the border. Let me see a rental contract,
and he shows it to him. I don't know if
how the dude knew how to read English or anything
like that, but me being in the rental car business
years later, it is true, you can't take them in Mexico. Okay,

(54:13):
so give me some money or we're gonna take you
to jail. And dog, he's still modeling off to him,
and I'm like, yo, shut the fuck. Shut the Yeah exactly, bro,
because I'm like, yo, this could go bad real quick.
And sure enough, we wound up giving him I don't know,

(54:35):
forty bucks, which at the time is a lot of money, right,
and they escorted us back to the line to get
back into America.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Goddamn, yeah, said get out the country. That's not even
they were You guys weren't even in Mexico at that time.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Oh man, good times. I forgot about that story.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
That's been a minute.

Speaker 2 (54:58):
Kid.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
At least say didn't fucking take the van and fucking
trust me, you'd still be in fucking Mexico jail, bro
eating really.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
Oh bad kid.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
Fuck. I never fucked with Mexico. I I she used
to fucking stress me out, bro. I hated going over there.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
I'd say the story about when we went. Mo and
his girlfriend at the time. Yeah, I said that story.

Speaker 1 (55:26):
Yeah, Okay, I don't know if I think you said
it on the air. I don't remember because we've said
it so many times outside of here when we're all together,
but go ahead, ship.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Uh it was it was myself or at the time
Nick as Mo and his girlfriend at the time, Christina.
She had the car. It was her car, did jeep right? No,
it was like her parents' Vovo or something like that.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (55:55):
So we go to Tijuana, go party and we park
on the American sidewalk over for you know, catch a
cab to Revolution Street and you party. Kid party hard too. Uh.
Matter of fact, one year we went for like New
Year's Manual, my my wife girlfriend at the time. There

(56:15):
was a few of us that went Anyways, it's not
this story. So we uh, we're bar hopping and doing everything.
So Nick and I were talking to these two girls
and we were leaving the club, and for whatever reason,
Mojo and Christina are arguing right there on the sidewalk,

(56:39):
and like they're arguing to the side, and I'm trying
to talk to these girls and come back to our
hotel room because they're from San Diego, right and uh
So Nick's telling me Tony, and I'm like, yo, hold
on second, because I thought it was working, you know
what I'm saying. Whatever I was saying in my mind,
it was working.

Speaker 1 (56:57):
No.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Uh. And so he's like Tony and I'm like, dog,
what I'm working here? He's like mow and Christina and
I look over my shoulder and they got Mojo, maybe
in handcuffs, but definitely throwing them in the back of
a cop car. Christina's crying, talking about don't take him,

(57:21):
don't take them h and they're like, say, you know,
and at the time, I didn't speak a lick of Spanish,
and she's like, if you take him, then you gotta
take me too. So they threw her in the back
of the cop car too, and they let a dog.
And I'm like, so we're eighteen years old, seventeen years

(57:42):
old in Tijuana, two o'clock in the morning. Clubs are
closing down. We're like, what do we do? And the girls,
you know, they spoke English, but they were Spanish. They
spoke to They found some other cops and they said, hey,
your friends probably got taken to the station. If you
go down these blocks, go make it rid. So now

(58:03):
luckily these girls are taking us to the police station.
We're walking get to the police station. Nope, nobody's here.

Speaker 1 (58:11):
We're like, what the fuck.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
So the girls were gonna take us to We're gonna
walk back on the American side, get back to take
a cab to the border, take a cab and take
an American cab to our hotel. So we did that,
and you figured an hour has passed by by now
by the time we walked we figured all this out,

(58:36):
so maybe an hour and a half because you still
got to go over the border. You know, there's lines
people leaving anyways, So before we went, I said, let's
write and put a note on their car to say
that yo, we're in the hotel room waiting on you guys.
Hopefully they can, you know whatever. So when we get

(58:57):
to their vovo. When we get to a vovo, there
in there making out and we were like, what the fuck,
And we was like, where'd you guys go? We were like,
we went looking for you. He was like many, they
drove us up the street. I asked him how much
it was gonna cost cost me for them to let
me go. They told me, I don't know, twenty dollars.
So I gave him twenty dollars. We just went around

(59:19):
the block and came and they dropped us off at
the same spot. But you guys were gone, wow. I
was like, ain't this well.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
I was like, I don't know why. You guys were
all worried. Moved speak fluent Spanish with dog.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
I didn't know. He got hauled off to the police station.
I don't know, acting acting crazy with the old lady
on the street.

Speaker 1 (59:38):
That's because he had a white girl with him. He
could have sold it all right, there was she getting
all out if you take oh shit, really okay, get
the fucking the car, like damn fucking that ship.

Speaker 2 (59:50):
Up, good time, man, you know, but it is you
know again, I haven't thought about that story in ages.
I not picture my kids, even my daughter definitely might
not my son, but my daughter. I still can't even
picture her doing shit like that at that age. Why

(01:00:15):
do Because they're only sixteen, seventeen years old, we ain't
letting them go to Mexico. You crazy?

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
You knew what your mom didn't know you were in Mexico.

Speaker 2 (01:00:28):
That's different. Times were different back then. How there we
ain't no cell phones, the relationship was different. I'll give
you an example. This weekend we went to my daughter's
for her for one of her many birthday meals. Okay,
all right, So a couple of weeks ago, my wife says, hey,

(01:00:51):
this day, this weekend, we're going to La for our
daughter's birthday. We're going out to dinner. We're going to
this restaurant this night. We're going to this red drum
that night.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
I was like, all right, cool. So this weekend comes
and prior to this, my wife says, oh, her sorority
sisters are going to dinners with us on Saturday night
as well. I was like, oh, that's cool. You know
they're gonna celebrate her birthday as well. And then she says,
prior to the to the trip, oh yeah, she's coming

(01:01:23):
next weekend. We're gonna do breakfast with you, your side
of family and your mom. We're gonna do dinner with
my side of family, my mom, my sisters. So I
was like, hold up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
So in the meantime, Tony in his head.

Speaker 2 (01:01:40):
So I told my old lady. I said, so, why
are we going up there the weekend before? Because I
was under the impression we weren't going to see her.
That was our opportunity to see her for her birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
It was one and done.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
Yeah, it was like, okay, she for whatever reason, she
wasn't coming down, so we're gonna go up there. So
my wife says, well, she wanted us to try this
restaurant that we were supposed to try for my birthday
in March, but we had to go to puert Rica
because your dad passed. And I was like, but that
restaurant is always going to be there. Next time we
go there, we go to that restaurant. I mean, it's
not like the restaurant's going somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
That's not true. You don't know that it could be gone.

Speaker 2 (01:02:15):
Well, okay, I'll give you that. But then I was
even like, but yo, and she's going with her sorority sisters.
I mean she wants her parents to be and she's like,
what are you talking about? I said, would you want
your mom with you? With you hanging out with your
friends for your birthday? And she's like, it's a totally
different relationship. She's like, would you want your parents hanging out?

(01:02:39):
I was like, hell no, and she's like, but we're different.
We I'm like, okay, I get it. Yeah, you're probably
right to an extent. But she's like, what are you
talking about her? Her friends were happy that we were going.
I was like, don't suck your teeth.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
Were getting fucked up for free tom lift mister checko.
Yeah I did pick up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
I mean they're they're all starting now, come on, you
can't make them pay for dinner.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
I'm not there with you. I got you, I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
But peep this. So Friday night, okay, we'll start with Friday.
We went to a nice Italian restaurant. Pizza was pretty good,
as we and it was right next to the Capitol
Records building, so we actually took a picture with that background.
I was actually really nice. Oh excuse me. After we
were leaving the restaurant, the place right next door had

(01:03:41):
like a little line for me, Like the building right
next door was a hotel. So we look over. My
daughter looks at the name of the hotel. She's like, Oh,
they got a rooftop bar up top. That's supposed to
be really nice. Let's go check it out. And so
we're kind of debating, and the dorman saw us like
kind of thinking should we go? Should we So he's like,
you know, he opens the door for us. He's like, hey,

(01:04:03):
come on in. So we did. We were there for
a couple of hours and it was nice up there. Yeah,
And dude, it's amazing how the weather is so different.
You know, I was sitting next to a heat lamp.
You know what, I warn't a long sleeve shirt with
pants and I gotta get next to a heat lamp.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Were sitting in a heat lamb.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
You see what I'm saying. Uh, So we're there for
a couple of hours. That was nice out there. Before
I get to Saturday night. My wife and I we
see these cars every once in a while with all
these uh they almost look like fans on the sides.

(01:04:44):
It almost looks like if the fans were bigger, it
could like a helicopter. You know the helicopters, you know
that has them Instead of right on top, it's got
the propellers on the sides like that, but small propellers.
And we were like, what the fuck is that? We
thought it was one of those Google guys driving around
taking pictures of the streets for like Google maps type shit.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Right, Bro, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:05:05):
Those driverless cars, like the driverless ubers.

Speaker 1 (01:05:09):
Or whatever what the fans for.

Speaker 2 (01:05:12):
I guess the sensitive shit is around. Bro, that shit
is so bugged out, that's weird. Bro. We're walking right
down the street and one of them pulls up like
mad quick, pulls to the side right next to us,
and I'm like, what the fuck, dude, like driving with authority,

(01:05:34):
you know what I'm saying, right, And and some people
walk up to it and jump in the back seat,
and the fucking car takes off and there ain't nobody driving.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Would you get in a driverless car?

Speaker 2 (01:05:45):
Hell, bro, let me tell you. It's going down the
road right, and it's gonna make a left turn on
you know intersection. It's waiting on traffic like normal and
dog like I said, with authority, it takes off, makes
that perfect left turn like it knows the angles it knows.

(01:06:05):
Like I said, it's like a perfect round left turn,
like you know how you driving you Oh shit, you're
cutting it too closed or you're too far. You gotta dog.
It's like perfection. It's and you and okay, hold on.
Then you got these boxes on wheels driving down the
fucking sidewalk meal deliveries. That ship is called Cocoa. I

(01:06:29):
saw Coco on one of them. Bro, some dude walk
by and pet that motherfucker as it was sitting at
a curb on a corner waiting across the street. Dog.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
So let me ask you a question.

Speaker 2 (01:06:43):
Hold on one second, what's really bugged out? How normalized
it is over there? That ship is like nothing. I
couldn't I can't wrap my.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
Head around there, like nobody bugged out.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Or yeah, it's like eh, it's doing what it's doing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:00):
I don't think I could get into a car that
was that didn't have a driver. However, I would probably
do that. I would rather do that than get in
some of the lifts that are here in this town,
because sometimes we have to use lifts at work, and

(01:07:21):
you know, it take us to a degaler to pick
up a car or whatever whatever they need done. And Bro,
some of these people are not from this country and
driving is different where they're from, and they're driving here
like they are in their country. And it was like,
holy shit, bro, like it's crazy, Like it's crazy, you

(01:07:44):
know what I mean? Now, I have a question about Coco.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
You said Cocoa with buck, Dude, it looked like a
red igloo, the white lid, that's what it reminds me
of wheels on the bottom.

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
So like one of those when you like when you
go to like a circle K or a m PM
and it got to like the little end caps where
it's a coke machine or pepsi machine and it's just
got ice and pepsis in it. So it's kind of
like an igloo, right, kind of like but a heater,
but it's small. My question is is so like this

(01:08:22):
is going to evolve as as as we talk. So,
if you order food and they send it to you
by Coco, do you have to tip Coco?

Speaker 2 (01:08:35):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:08:37):
If you order food from a restaurant and you go
pick it up, do you tip the person that put
it in a bag for you, because essentially they're your server? Right?

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
Yes? Would I tip? Probably? Am I tipping a lot? No?

Speaker 1 (01:09:03):
Okay, Okay, that that we'll start with that. If it's Tony,
Tony's tipping as a normal person, should you tip, yes,
not as not as a Pacheco.

Speaker 2 (01:09:18):
Tip for the same reason I would tip.

Speaker 1 (01:09:20):
Yes, And why would you tip?

Speaker 2 (01:09:23):
Because I realized that that extra two to five dollars
can really help that person that's serving me or just
handing me that bag, and and if enough of us did,
that would make that person's life so much easier.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
So if I said I ordered and I didn't tip
that person, that's why I went to go pick it up,
so that I didn't have to tip, because that five
that extra five bucks would put me out.

Speaker 2 (01:09:55):
Okay, there's nothing wrong with that, and it would be
okay not to tip. Yeah, I mean, if you can't
do it, you can't do it. But listen to what
you just said, Well, listen to what you just said.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Well, but this is this is what this is what
my expectation of what your answer was or what I
thought you were gonna answer. Well, if you can't afford
to tip, then you shouldn't be going out.

Speaker 2 (01:10:16):
Well, but yeah, that's kind of like what you said.
You specifically said, and you can rewind it that it
would put me out. No, you said, I'm picking it up,
so I don't have to tip, right, I'm not going
to hear establishment and decided so I don't have to tip.
I'm specifically eating. I'm specifically going to this place and

(01:10:38):
picking up food just so I don't have to tip.
You see what not because the food is good now,
but you're going there and picking it up, so you
don't have to tip.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Right, because the good the good it being good is
the assumption. Because I'm ordering from there already.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
But instead of having it there and eating rash and
joined the Beyonce of the place, you're saying, I'm not
going there because I don't want to tip.

Speaker 1 (01:11:08):
Right, because that's part of what you pay for, right,
That's part of that experience. So if I'm not, if
I'm not staying getting that experience, why tip?

Speaker 2 (01:11:18):
Oh yeah, well again, I tipped mainly eighty percent of
the reason.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
I tip because money's falling out of your pocket for it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:28):
No, it's because I know it could help this dog.
I tipped that same Belman on the way out. I
was kind of buzzed, you know, the one that not Belman,
the doorman that kind of brought us up to the
kind of coaxed us into bar. I had such a
great time. See here's the thing. I YouTube in that

(01:11:48):
and out. No, no, no, I didn't tip him on the way in.
I slipped him with twenty on the way out. I
was buzzed. I ain't gonna lie. But it was because
he put me over the edge of coming in, because
I was like, shit, I can go home and go
to sleep, you know what I'm saying. But because he
was so, hey, come on in, we have a good time,

(01:12:09):
you know, And I was like, you know what. And
I had a great time with my wife and my daughter,
and I showed my appreciation to him and tipped him.

Speaker 1 (01:12:19):
All right, that's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:12:25):
But with you, you would have gone in, so you
would have went to that rooftop bar. But you would
have told the dude, hey, don't open the door for me,
because I don't want to feel like I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Have to obligate it. No, what I would have done
on the way out, I would have like went and
like dapped him. Yeah, hey man, cool man, thanks for writer.
It was a great time. Good looking out peace, And
then bounced before he looked in his hands to you know,
because I probably would have rolled up a napkin and like,
did it all tight that way? He thought it was.
I was slipping in cash and we had enough time

(01:12:53):
to dip out.

Speaker 2 (01:12:54):
But again, okay, let me ask you this. If you
feel that strongly about not tipping, because let's just for giggles,
you ain't got it, why do you feel you have
to If you ain't got it, you're paying the bill
white tip.

Speaker 1 (01:13:12):
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
You can walk out and never see this person again.

Speaker 1 (01:13:16):
But but if I don't have the money to chip,
I won't go out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:22):
You just pick it up and take your.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Home, probably and avoid the whole the whole what the
whole ship? All they come to the you're telling me
that you've never gotten the the you ain't gonna tip me. Look,
you cheating motherfucker, you never got Look.

Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
But see here's the difference though that would bother me?

Speaker 1 (01:13:50):
What that that gave me? That?

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
Look, you wouldn't give two ships that they're on one
and somebody's giving you that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:58):
Look, Well, not if I'm going to pick it up.

Speaker 2 (01:14:00):
Well, even if what do you.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
Get the fund, you do put it in the bag.

Speaker 2 (01:14:04):
I'm talking about. You sat down to eat.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
But again I wouldn't do that if I didn't have
the money to chip, I wouldn't do that just because
I know I don't look at me like that. We
go outside fight right now.

Speaker 2 (01:14:19):
The last time I went to my daughter's house a
couple of weeks back. Yeah, we went to dinner, and
we ordered the dessert. And when the dessert came, so
did the check at the same time. Okay, And and

(01:14:39):
she she put down the dessert and she's she kneeled
down and handed me the check, you know, on that
little plate that it comes in. She kneeled down, Yes,
because she was gonna because she had the little machine
and she was gonna, like intimately talk to me about okay,

(01:15:01):
you know, push here for your you know that type
of deal.

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Oh she thought you were old and dumb.

Speaker 2 (01:15:07):
No, no, I thought it was weird as well. But
while she was telling me, she goes, oh, you guys
got the best dessert. That's my favorite right there. Oh
and doc, she worked me kids.

Speaker 1 (01:15:21):
Yeah, you know what it is. And it worked. She
was a prostitute that to reach back and grab your
nuts right at the end. It made you feel it
worked because.

Speaker 2 (01:15:31):
When I was she was okay, and here's the tip.
You know, you can either do that what it showed.
You can either push automatically to twenty percent to twenty
two that or you can put your own tip in
there if you want. She was, so here you go,
you know, and just sign it with your finger. And
at the time, again, I'm tipping. When I'm tipping, she

(01:15:52):
she did not get any more on of me, and
she did wasn't getting anything less. It was I do
what I do. But when she walked away, I sat
there and said, Yo, she just fucking worked me.

Speaker 1 (01:16:04):
So normal. So cheapest, cheapest, ten and below fifteen is like.

Speaker 2 (01:16:12):
There is no ten, below no is like, fifteen is
like no fifteen don't then then stick to the don't
go inside.

Speaker 1 (01:16:21):
So twenty percent eighteen is low. Twenty percent is average, correct,
But that's for good service. That's not for average service.
So if you can't come into work and put in
twenty percent service, then stay home because you ain't getting
twenty percent. Ye let me ask you that, have you

(01:16:42):
ever gone anywhere and not given a twenty percent tip?

Speaker 2 (01:16:45):
No? Even with the series was horrible. Why because in
my opinion, which is exactly which is what I was
going to talk to you about everyone has a bad day.
If this place has services that bad all the time,
then simply don't go. But in my opinion, you don't

(01:17:06):
know what people are going through. And maybe by me
tipping I talked about this before the normal rate, it'll
change her or his attitude mood, if you will. Maybe
they had Mingo right before me that tipped ten percent
and now they're like this job sucks, da da da

(01:17:28):
fucking guys on tip. But then they get Pacheco, it's like,
oh ship, okay, I remember why I do this now and.

Speaker 1 (01:17:36):
Boom money in there.

Speaker 2 (01:17:39):
And now here's my question to you. Have you ever
had a bad day at work?

Speaker 1 (01:17:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:17:44):
Okay? Has that mood? Have has that mood? Has anyone
that either work with or any customers have seen that mood? Okay?
Good at the end of the day or at the
end of the week when they get you your paycheck
and your boss tells you, you know, remember Tuesday when

(01:18:06):
you're in that funk. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna doc you
pay because yo, you need to leave that shit at home.

Speaker 1 (01:18:13):
And be like sir uh that wasn't negotiated upon when
I took the jobs.

Speaker 2 (01:18:19):
Just like just like, just like the tip is not
negotiated up on sure, don't you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
Know that your tip is given to you upon your
your No, there's a minimum, no, no, no, yes there is.

Speaker 2 (01:18:32):
You have ten people or more, it's a minimum, it says,
right there, a minimum eighteen percent. Whatever it is.

Speaker 1 (01:18:37):
It's a suggested ram. No, no, wrong, they can't because
then it's no longer gratuity, mandatory gratuity. It's no longer
people are no longer gratuity.

Speaker 2 (01:18:49):
Call it what you want. You're paying extra.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
I ain't paying ship but if I hold, if I,
if I go, and it's ship service, you're not get
anything else.

Speaker 2 (01:19:00):
Okay, So why should your boss pay you what you're
making for shit service?

Speaker 1 (01:19:06):
Because it's they're not docking her her normal pay.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
Actually for him, they are because you know they're hourly
is based on their tips earned up to thirty dollars
an hour.

Speaker 1 (01:19:17):
But they know that, right, you can earn up to
thirty hours thirty an hour, right right, So there's no
but your but your your hourly wage is two dollars
and fifteen cents an hour. But fuck, you know what,
I took the job for to fifteen an hour, but
here knowing I gotta act right, so that I can
earn up.

Speaker 2 (01:19:33):
We're getting off the subject of you're sitting here saying
I don't want to pay you for bad service. Right,
that's what your boss is telling you on that day
you were in a funk. But the same thing.

Speaker 1 (01:19:44):
No, it's not, No, it's not. It's not the same
thing because.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):
Everyone has a bad day, right, okay, and sometimes you
just gotta still get paid for it. No, that's the
way I see it.

Speaker 1 (01:19:54):
Well, that's the way you see it. But you're wrong
because it's a gratuity, which means it's a tip, which
means they're paying you for the extra service that you provide.
If you're not providing that service, that's separate from your
from the from the bill. Because if somebody wanted to,
they don't have to tip you. You're just gonna get.

Speaker 2 (01:20:12):
Your hourly that What do you mean they don't have
to tip you if they sat there and ate, they
have to tip.

Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
No, they don't. You just said they do not have
to tip you, So nobody nobody has You should be
sitting at nobody has to tip? Is it the right
thing to do? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:20:29):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (01:20:29):
Should you? Probably? But should you pay for shiit service?
Should you pay extra for shits? No, that's all.

Speaker 2 (01:20:38):
Sometimes people are just having a bad day.

Speaker 1 (01:20:40):
Sometimes they are maybe they should stay.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
Home exactly what your boss will tell you next time.

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Well that's great, but you know what, that's cool because
I got I got a fucking sick time anyway, So whatever,
I'm still getting my motherfucking pray shit miss me with
that old bullshit. Look, you took the job at two
fifteen an hour knowing that that's what you were guaranteed.
Then act right to get the rest of it.

Speaker 2 (01:21:04):
Okay, your boss told you when these customers come in,
you gotta be on your p's and q's. You gotta
welcome in da da da. And the day that you're not,
they should say I'm a doc you because look, you
would act like an asshole that day.

Speaker 1 (01:21:16):
But had that been negotiated negotiators, they shold you, we're
paying you this amount because when customers come in, we
expect this out of you, right, But they never said
that before I signed. Hey, and if you don't, we're
gonna dock your pay because I probably have been like, yeah,
you know what, I'm gonna have to mind not but
that was never negotiated because.

Speaker 2 (01:21:37):
You know, because you know you canna be having bad days.

Speaker 1 (01:21:40):
Yeah, I don't know if I could do that, sir ship,
But that's what that's what commission is all about. That
is true, right, That's why I don't take a job
that's all commissions, because being gonna be having some bad days.
You know what I'm saying. I know that about myself.
I'm not a server.

Speaker 2 (01:21:55):
We need these essential workers servers, uh everything, So yo,
I understand people have bad days, and I just caught
her or him on one of them. That's all. Ain't
nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (01:22:09):
I'm just saying. If you go to pick up food somewhere,
do you have to tip?

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
You don't?

Speaker 1 (01:22:16):
I do?

Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
Okay, and you don't. We've established that, that's right, that's right. Uh.
Do you tip your lyft driver? You were just talking
about Lyft?

Speaker 1 (01:22:34):
No, because it's through my job.

Speaker 2 (01:22:36):
Okay. Have you taken a lift for personal reason? No?
Or Uber?

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:22:41):
Okay? Would you tip an Uber driver?

Speaker 1 (01:22:45):
Probably not? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:22:47):
I don't even know why I asked, but.

Speaker 1 (01:22:51):
Probably not. I mean, what is gonna be like fifteen
twenty bucks to go somewhere like? Well, I'm I'm as
a lift or uber?

Speaker 2 (01:22:58):
It depends on where you're going, time of day it is.
Let's say an average Let's say you're paying. Let's say
you gotta go to my house and you can be drinking,
so you want to take an Uber there. It's gonna
cost you sixteen dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:23:08):
To get to your house. No, I'm not fucking tipping.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
He performed us. He performed a service for you.

Speaker 1 (01:23:16):
Hey, Tony, I don't think I'm gonna be here to
make it because I want to get drunk, and it's
sixteen dollars for me to go there.

Speaker 2 (01:23:22):
It's sixteens.

Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
I'm just gonna go down the street and pick up
a fucking twelve pack for thirteen bucks to stay home
and get fucked up. I really love to join you guys,
but sixteen dollars one way.

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
Okay, all right, let me let me backtrack. You go
to my house because we're having to get together, and
you get fucked up there and you got to take
an uber home. Okay, So it's mandatory that you got
to take it uber home because you got to get home.
But you can't drive, and you're old enough to know
you can't be driving.

Speaker 1 (01:23:55):
I probably wouldn't wouldn't what I wouldn't Uber.

Speaker 2 (01:23:58):
How are you gonna get home? You staying in my house?

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
No? No, no, that's cool. That's cool. I'll just put the
back seats down on my Explorer and crash out in
the back and get up in the morning. My keys
aren't going to be Are you so serious?

Speaker 2 (01:24:08):
You wouldn't do that.

Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
My key wouldn't be in the ignition, so they can't
get me for DUI. I'm just napping on the streets.
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (01:24:16):
Okay, Oh I tip my Ruber drivers five bucks. I mean,
you know what. I appreciate you coming.

Speaker 1 (01:24:27):
To pick five dollars on a sixteen dollars drive.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Yeah, I know it is what it is like.

Speaker 1 (01:24:36):
That would be like that customary would be like two
dollars and thirty.

Speaker 2 (01:24:39):
He got me and the people I'm rolling with from
point A to point B safely, comfortably. We're good. Well
as an adult, I appreciate that as an adult.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
If I had a choice of paying sixteen dollars twenty
one dollars according to do you uh there, and twenty
one back, I'd be like, hey, you know what, I'm
not going to drink tonight. I'll say the twenty one dollars.

Speaker 2 (01:25:08):
I'm good, I tit Okay dinner Saturday night, one of
my daughter's friends met us at her place, so the
four of us went to the restaurant. Okay, well, well,
driver picked us up. My man, young cat too, in

(01:25:28):
his twenties, mid to early twenties. My man got out,
opened the doors. We got in, hold on, we got in.
He asked, hey, temperature okay for you guys, everything good?
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:25:47):
Hiss? Role music station? Okay, perfect dog. We got to
the spot. My man. We rolled up to the valet
section because it was only valley parking at this uh,
got out, opened the doors again. Now see that service though,
all right, how much are you tipping two dollars?

Speaker 1 (01:26:07):
Because that's twenty percent.

Speaker 2 (01:26:09):
No, let's say twenty. Let's say this drive was twenty
five bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
So that would be five bucks, right, twenty percent would
be five bucks.

Speaker 2 (01:26:19):
Yeah, it would be they give.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
Five bucks, so that would be a dollar from everybody
in the car, So realistically, you'd give four, he'd give one.
You're good. You see what I'm saying. Everybody rode right,
including him, even he drove.

Speaker 2 (01:26:38):
So I thanked him for his excellent service, told him
how much I appreciated everything he did to rub his
nuts too, Like when I said him a twenty he said, hey,
I appreciate it got us there safely, you know, because
you know that shit like that matters to me.

Speaker 1 (01:26:58):
Yo.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):

joined us for dinner. So after dinner, while you laugh,

The restaurant was at this spot called the Grove. You
heard of it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:46):
That shit is That place is fucking nice and that
almost like Disneyland kid, and that ship is no yeah,
that ship ain't cheap.

Speaker 2 (01:29:56):
So outside of the Grove, my daughter found a bar.
There's like bars and stuff, you know, So we walked
to it.

Speaker 1 (01:30:05):
It's like, that's not really like that's like that's like
the Hollywood elite hangout at the Grove. Like that's.

Speaker 2 (01:30:14):
I'm not gonna say no, Yeah, it's nice, very nice. Uh.
So we go to this bar and a bar restaurant
type deal, and there's a little you know, one of
those little tables out front, like the valet table type deal. Right,
and there's a guy like a bouncers standing or sitting.

Speaker 1 (01:30:36):
Take you back to your old days.

Speaker 2 (01:30:37):
And you were like, it wasn't a valet. It was
just it was like they check you in or whatever.
So we wanted to go inside, and he was like
he was kind of not flustered, but it was like,
we're like, can we go in? He was like oh.

(01:30:58):
So then a girl comes out like hostess if you will,
and she comes out and my daughter's talking to them
because we're just in the back, and so they're like,
all right, yeah, go in. So we walk in and
you know, they're playing dance music and there's a couple
of girls dancing, you know, on a little area which
we'll be considered the dance floor. I guess not a

(01:31:20):
lot of people in there, you know, And so there's
ten of us maybe oh shit, okay, and we were
all able to sit at the bar. The bar was
like kind of empty. So I'm looking around and let's

(01:31:43):
say there's twenty five people in this club. Okay, four
of them are guys. So there's like twenty one girls
there okay, and they're like really white complexed, and they're
like half of them are dancing. The other half are

(01:32:04):
like scattered, and there was two there was a couple
sitting at the bar. You know, my wife was at
the end, So there was the woman of the couple
and then the dude of the couple. So now I'm
noticing the music they're playing is like a foreign language,
like real fast paced. I don't know, I don't want

(01:32:26):
to call it d M, but you know, and I
can't you don't understand the language.

Speaker 1 (01:32:32):
And so were anybody there wearing an Adidas tracksuit?

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
I'm not gonna say no, but there were the three
or four guys that were there other than the guy
that was sitting with his old lady next to my
old lady, right, you know, okay, And so I'm kind
of realizing, Yo, the rods that are dancing or like

(01:33:01):
in kind of nice outfits, like nice dresses, like nightgowns, if.

Speaker 1 (01:33:07):
You will, welcome to So it's almost like Rob's wife,
I think, is the one that said, yo, this is
like an Albanian sex club right here, sex trafficking.

Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
And I was like, and I'm thinking to myself, and
my daughter was like, WHOA, that's that's kind of deep.
And I was like, but I'm looking around I'm like,
I'm not gonna say it's sex trafficking, but yeah, there's
there's something going on in this spot. Like the bartenders.
Their English wasn't the greatest. There was two of them.

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
I only know what portobodica and like old fishing. What
do you want?

Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
So we're having this, you know, we we had one
drink cause it was like, yo, we need to get
out of here. And at one point, the couple that
was next to my wife, they were getting up to leave,
and they had like these two shots of like a
turquoise lick quid and the girls tells my wife, hey,
we didn't drink these. She might even say, yo, we

(01:34:07):
didn't order these. If you want them, we're not gonna
drink them. So they gave them to my wife.

Speaker 1 (01:34:12):
Would you like sleek?

Speaker 2 (01:34:15):
So my wife says, hey, she just I was like,
don't even think about drinking those, because my whole lady
was ready to take that ship to the head, you
know what I'm saying. And I was like, don't even know.
We gotta get up out of here now. As we
were leaving, or just before we left, I look at
the dance floor and my wife noticed it. Saw this
person too. I'm not saying no one else did, but

(01:34:35):
my wife and I conversated about it. There was a
girl out there. I swear to god, Bro, she looked
like she was twelve thirteen years old. She was rocking
like sneakers dancing. Yo. Yeah, we got luddy.

Speaker 1 (01:34:51):
She's my niece. She's on vacation.

Speaker 2 (01:34:55):
Yeah, bro, it's time to go. We had to go
holy Albanian mob. I don't know what it is, but
yeah it's not And I think my daughter's like, nah,
that's not I'm like, yeah, yeah, this is no like
the place had like a resiant Albanian like Xeon's Zonias.

(01:35:16):
Oh yeah, we gotta go. I mean again, twenty people inside?
Why is there a host is out front like making
sure who's going? You might want as many people to
go inside as possible, you know what I'm saying. Nah, bro,
we gotta go. Time to go. So we went to
another bar. Walking distance, we go to this other bar,

(01:35:38):
sit down, nice little chill place.

Speaker 1 (01:35:41):
My friend's downstreet told me you would have coming. What
would you like.

Speaker 2 (01:35:46):
With this spot? I don't know if it was their
theme or whatever. It is like the paintings, all the
paintings on the walls were all upside down. That's the
first thing you notice.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
Were there any upside down pine apples?

Speaker 2 (01:35:58):
No? And then the what they call those lights on
the wall upside down? So I'm looking, you know, and
Rob points out over the bar there's like a uh
a runway carpet, like the long skinny carpets on the

(01:36:21):
roof on the ceiling, with like a table or like
a chair upside down, like it's a seating area, but
it was up upside down as well. I wanted to ask,
what was you know, what this was all about? But
it's like as their thing, I guess everything was upside down.

Speaker 1 (01:36:36):
What was the name of the place?

Speaker 2 (01:36:38):
Hm? Oh? Peep? This on the wall next to the
bar looked like a bookcase and all the books were
upside down. Of course, it slid open, and there was
another bar on the other side that like people were
walking between. But everything over there was upside It was

(01:36:59):
dark arkting there. I couldn't even see. But when I
walked out, I looked on the side to see if
there was like an interest to another bar, and I
didn't see one, so I don't. Yeah again, I'm I'm
aged out, kid, I'm not trying to yeah it's time
to go.

Speaker 1 (01:37:13):
You couldn't have fight your way out of there. No.

Speaker 2 (01:37:17):
I mean it wasn't scary or anything like that, but
it was cool. If anything, it was cool. I just
wondered what the other bar was, and you know, it
was cool that it got opened and like somebody walked.

Speaker 1 (01:37:27):
Through and yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:37:29):
