Ding Dong! Ever wonder what it's like to transform your home into the neighborhood's Halloween "fun house?" That's exactly what we accomplished this year, and boy, do we have some stories to share about this spooky extravaganza! From the joy of seeing trick-or-treaters' wide-eyed amazement to the stress of last-minute candy runs, you'll get a frank, heartfelt recount of our Halloween adventure.
Next up, we put on our parent hats to talk about the struggles of raising kids in an age-conscious society. We grapple with the concept of aging while navigating the tricky waters of report cards and how, as parents, we need to honor our children's unique abilities and learning pace. But don't worry, it's not all serious. We have a laugh at our own expense as we confess our lackluster flirting skills. From flirting with security guards to misreading signals. Maybe you can relate to our flirting foibles or even pick up some tips...definitely not some tips haha!
Lastly, we tackle the contentious issue of tipping in the service industry - a divisive topic that has more angles than a geometry textbook. We dissect our views on tipping, sharing some eyebrow-raising experiences and controversial opinions on whether servers are indeed deserving of those coveted hefty tips. And to wrap things up, we extend an open invitation to our listeners to join us in future episodes - yes, that means you! Join us for a chat, a drink, and if needed, a comfy couch to crash on. We guarantee an atmosphere filled with laughter, heartfelt stories, and thought-provoking discussions. Don't miss it!

This is a disaster. Welcome back to All Tricks, no treats, the number one podcast for relationship advice, kids advice, life advice. That's all I got.
Speaker 2:Advice advice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when we talk about everyday things. But yeah, we're back for another episode.
Speaker 2:Yay, so it's hasn't been too long of a break. It's been a few weeks, but not you know nothing big. So we just have a few things to catch up on. Halloween pass by.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it did, and in our town it's a big deal. We've been coming here for quite a while to trick or treat and there's like a bunch of people. But I wanted our house to be the fun house and it's still under construction, our house, so we don't have any lighting, so I had to go buy a big spotlight from Home Depot. But one thing that I thought would attract the kids was this cornhole game where if you make it, you get a full size bar. We had a shitload of candy like 1200 pieces of candy and then the big size bars.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we bought like five boxes of King size bars at Costco. But if you made it you get two shots, and if you make one you get a King size bar, and if you miss you still get candy anyway. But it was fun when we trick or treat as tourists quote unquote but it was very stressful. Being one of the houses now Living here and doing it, our house would get swarmed, and we didn't even dress up after all I was so like, I was like flustered and trying to get everything ready, like we had a fire pit in the front.
Speaker 1:We sinned our fake grass or if we have some patchy artificial grass, that I just threw a fucking fire pit on top. I was so like running around like a chicken with its head cut off, and we lit the fire and in the next morning you fucking burn ass grass, we have a sing spot in our backyard Dude. It was crazy, but our house was like the house.
Speaker 2:It was fun and my favorite thing is, you know, we heard one person say oh man, everyone's been saying that this is the house, which is what you know. It's what we wanted. So and we talked about it and I said, you know, we'll learn from it. Now we know next year, like, what to do and not do too.
Speaker 1:And the kids had fun and we had fun, so that's it, Dude, coming from Whittier where we used to live, I think one year we got like three or four.
Speaker 2:No, we even talked to our friends and our friends back in Whittier were like I didn't get any people or I got like two kids.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is sad. We had six to 700 kids come through.
Speaker 2:And also if it tells you about, like, where we live. We have. All the houses around here are really old, so there's like a main street and they are pretty big houses. One house was a Barbie house and they painted the whole front of their house hot pink. So I think that just says something about how Halloween is very like taken seriously around here?
Speaker 1:It's, it's not. The house next to that house had like four Mars attack characters that are at Spirit Halloween and they're like how much? $400 each or something. And I remember they put them up and we're like oh no, we're like holy shit, and we had a fire bit we had us in a. Milwaukee spotlight from home.
Speaker 2:But one guy did say he was. He was like, oh man, I like the look of this house, this house is cool, Like look at that, Look at this, Like you know. And I looked at him and I was like, hey, the cool thing is that we didn't even try man and he was like, he was like. No, I mean, I just want my house to look like this one day.
Speaker 1:Our house is naturally spooky.
Speaker 2:I think it's just us.
Speaker 1:But anyway, halloween was a success stressful success.
Speaker 2:Yeah, let's cheers to our first Halloween.
Speaker 1:Yeah we're in our house. We've been waiting for that day. Cheers.
Speaker 2:We made it to the 700 kids and parents. They played too.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, Holy shit.
Speaker 2:Okay, um, something else that happened was my birthday. My birthday happened, I turned 21 guys. Chinese way Hell.
Speaker 1:We're old farts.
Speaker 2:Actually, no, you're only as old as you feel, and I don't feel like I feel fucking like I'm going to die.
Speaker 1:I feel old.
Speaker 2:I don't feel old so 33 is.
Speaker 1:33 is really not bad.
Speaker 2:It's not, you're still young, you're established, you're young.
Speaker 1:That's the new 15, I think because, like old, people that are like maybe 18.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 15. It's not getting hot water there, buddy.
Speaker 1:But I feel like 50, 60 year olds now are dude going harder than me.
Speaker 2:I just saw this video. I wish I screenshotted her, but it was this lady and she has like sleeves and she dresses so cool, like has the best style, and I was reading the comments of people like you make me feel like I'm not afraid to grow old anymore. Oh, that's a nice thing to say, and it was so. And she was like yeah, like she's like celebrating growing old and still being like your authentic self, and I thought that was super cool. And so, yeah, you're only as old as you feel. Like who says you have to dress a certain way because there's a certain age? Or like feel a certain way.
Speaker 2:So you know it was my birthday and we celebrated by going to Hibachi, because that's a tradition, since I was like for four yeah. And then my friends and I went to the cauldron in Anaheim. If you love the spoopy stuff, they've got like it's very dark in there. They have spider webs, they have candlelight, they have a book case. So if you like the type of stuff, I truly recommend the cold. And they gave me a free shot because it was my birthday. And we got the best table by the actual cauldron.
Speaker 1:Damn.
Speaker 2:Yeah, spoopy life. So that was really cool, my friends to take me there. Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1:Cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then something else that happened actually today is the kids got their report cards from their school.
Speaker 1:Who would have thought I was getting report cards for our kids?
Speaker 2:What I do like is actually at the last school that Champ went to, the report cards were sent home electronically, but here they're sent home in their folders.
Speaker 1:I don't know why, but I feel like this year is really like. It's like a legit report card. Last year was online and I was like, okay, okay, but this year was like here's your. I remember I would get my report card and hide that shit in the mail. In the mail, yeah, I'd hide that shit in fucking holy shit, and F and a D in fucking art.
Speaker 2:Your parents would be like why are you by the front door? You'd be like I just want some fresh air, I'm just cooling off.
Speaker 1:And thinking back now, it's like that work was probably so easy it probably was we.
Speaker 2:just we're kids, didn't want to put the effort in.
Speaker 1:I saw this documentary. It's like a documentary series on Netflix and the coach is a football coach and a bunch of the kids are like failing stupid classes and a guy's failing art. And he's like art, you're failing fucking art. And then there's a silence and he's like draw a fucking picture, man.
Speaker 2:I'm like dude.
Speaker 1:that's true, it's like fucking add up some numbers and pass the class. I failed shit too, but it's funny how he said it, because he's just like draw. It's not really just drawing a picture, but it's like it might be that easy, you know, to pass a class.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a little bit effort goes a long way.
Speaker 1:When you're young, you're dumb and idiots, but it was fucking hilarious. I draw a fucking picture.
Speaker 2:I was crying and said like I can't, I can't, he was a big ass fucking football player.
Speaker 1:He was an old kid, but that was hilarious.
Speaker 2:Well, I do want to share something that they sent home with the kids with their report cards. So it just says as you read through the report card, please remember that all children do not learn to walk and talk at the same age, nor do they learn math and reading at the same rate. As we continue to set goals for the school year, please remember to keep an open mind. Our children need to be challenged, but not pushed beyond their abilities. They need to taste success and still need time to smell the flowers while they are a child. We know your children as they are in school. You know your child as they are at home. The real them may be somewhere in between. When these two images are blended with sufficient understanding, acceptance and love, we hope you all see a unique individual who can make you proud and bring you much happiness.
Speaker 1:That was sweet.
Speaker 2:And that was very. I really like that, actually, because as a parent, you just want your kids to, you know, be successful and thrive as much as they can, and sometimes it just you know, you forget, yeah, and the little humans.
Speaker 1:The first time you read it in the room I was kind of like what the heck? Because school is for them, obviously, but in a way it is for you too, because they learn so much, champ Bubby. And when they come back you're like holy shit, you see them one way, but you don't see them like learning all this shit and growing as kids. But the way it's worded is like puts it in perspective, like it is a blend.
Speaker 1:They might like be different when they're not around you you know, so when I read that I was like holy shit, that's when I read that I actually teared up a little bit.
Speaker 2:I thought that was super sweet that they thought to send that home, just as like a little reminder. Because you know, as parents or even as people who were students, when we got our report cards we kind of take it personal, like, oh, I didn't get this grade, what did I do wrong? Or as a parent, oh, you didn't do that, well, what's going on? Like, what am I doing wrong as a parent? So it was very nice to read that and just you know, have a little reminder. Are little humans are humans.
Speaker 1:For sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, last thing, just wanted to add a little something else. I had a nice conversation with the mom at Bubby's class, yes. So I went to pick her up and of course I had a Nucky with me. So Nucky likes to just stop and throw things in the street, likes to fall, likes to just not want to walk anymore. So I was running a little behind and she was as well, and I've seen her before. She's got, she's going to pick up a son, has another son with her, and then she wears a little girl, a little baby girl, on her chest and a little baby carrier. So she was running late with me and then so we were walking back from picking up our kids and I turned to her and I said I remember those days wearing them, having one next to me, you know, having three when I used to go pick up champ.
Speaker 2:I used to wear Nucky on my chest and be holding Bubby's hands, and she was like, oh yeah, it's a lot. And I was like, oh, you know, like you could tell, she was very like exasperated and she was like it's a lot.
Speaker 2:I feel like, you know, I'm just kind of, I feel like I'm always yelling, I feel like I'm always frustrated like this and like she was just all of a sudden just started like venting and I told her I was like that's okay. And I said it's okay, I promise you. I said I feel like I'm the same way. There's a lot of parents that feel like they're the same way. And I said I promise you, though, it does like it gets easier. And I said look, I said him. And I pointed to Nucky. I said that was him and I was the one that I was always wearing. And I said I remember getting like very flustered, trying to put the baby thing on to carry him and trying to make sure Bubby wasn't running off. And she was like oh, my gosh, that's so good to hear. And she even was like thank you, thank you so much. And I didn't, I barely even said anything.
Speaker 2:I just like kind of heard around and talked to her and I think it's just like a little reminder, like you know, just everyone once in a while you see a parent, just kind of you know we're all in this together, so just kind of talk to them, give them fucking kudos. Yeah.
Speaker 1:It probably made her feel good that, oh, it gets better, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I just wanted to let her know that it's normal Like hey, I remember doing that rushing and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a mom connection right there.
Speaker 2:Yeah. And so now when I see her, she's like hi, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's nice Cool.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's, that was it for our catch up.
Speaker 1:That was a good catch up, nice.
Speaker 2:Okay, now it's our topic.
Speaker 1:Let's hit it.
Speaker 2:How you doing.
Speaker 1:Is that a hint to the topic?
Speaker 2:Yeah, Do I sound like Wendy Williams, or do I sound like Joey?
Speaker 1:I think you have to do this to sound like it, like that oh. What's that Too sassy.
Speaker 2:Wow, that was done really well. Oh no, skip, skip. Oh wow, you sound more like Wendy Williams. Our topic today is flirting.
Speaker 1:Flirting baby. Flirting 101.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Hmm.
Speaker 2:Hmm, so our definition from Oxford languages is to behave as though attracted or trying to attract someone, but for amusement rather than with serious intentions, which I don't know if I can agree with that, because some people do flirt for serious intentions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think me trying to flirt now is like that old man in the, not that I would flirt.
Speaker 2:Yeah, who are you trying to? What do you mean If I were?
Speaker 1:to flirt, I'd be. I'd be that old man in that commercial with the dolly hooked on the rod. Where are you going? The guy with the rod is just. You almost got it.
Speaker 2:What did you say? Got to try a little harder, or something. You got to try that harder, harder than that.
Speaker 1:That's kind of my flirting awkward and how would you, how would you? Oh my God.
Speaker 2:See, we can't even like pretend.
Speaker 1:Pretend, you just said it, but when I flirt, not when I flirt I meant if I would flirt, if I was a single gentleman, it'd be like the, the doll, whatever. Really, you ruined it. I didn't want to do this anymore.
Speaker 2:Fishing old man. I thought this was for fun.
Speaker 1:We're supposed to be a fun, fun Cause, you know don't even know what you're saying anymore.
Speaker 2:Okay, um, I don't know how to flirt. You don't I don't, I don't know how to flirt. I don't know anything about flirting. I don't and I've told you this before and I think I've said this before too Like I think there had been times back then when I was single, when people have tried to flirt with me or like ask me out and I didn't understand what was going on and I was just like oh, and I just like walked away because I'm I don't, I don't get it.
Speaker 1:You were a flirt. You fucking liar.
Speaker 2:With you. I hope it just with me.

Speaker 1:The home you want, fucking married women only oh wow, you a dog, you a dog A sea lion dog. So you hear all these stories now that teachers like hook up with fucking high school kids. Obviously a bunch of guys are like fuck. If that was me I wouldn't say shit, because you know how they all tell and then eventually it comes out because they can't keep their fucking mouth shut. I had this art teacher in high school. She was a babe and she had a husband who was this gigantic ass foo.
Speaker 2:Like just a big guy yeah.
Speaker 1:And she even, like, showed me him before and I was just like cool, cool and she would like do things. She would always be touching me and all this, doing all this crazy shit. And then I'm like damn, this girl fucking wants me to paint her a picture. You know, she was our teacher and I was like this little scared, innocent kid and I never fucking did anything. But I knew for a fact she was flirting with me and I never did nothing and I regret it.
Speaker 2:Oh darn Okay. So the five flirty styles. Wait, is that not a good story?
Speaker 1:I mean, for Was that a good story?
Speaker 2:For flirting.
Speaker 1:Don't act like you didn't want to flirt with your fucking swim teacher.
Speaker 2:I would have loved to what's his name? Call him out. What's his name? No, what's his name.
Speaker 1:Bolin Hi class of 2008. Bolin Not just her, I know for a fact a lot of girls would talk about your ass, bro.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's because they still talk about him.
Speaker 1:Like an old ass. Wow, see how I don't get mad, like when she doesn't. She can go swim. Go swim with Bolin, I don't care Police what.
Speaker 2:You don't get mad.
Speaker 1:Go swim with Bolin.
Speaker 2:You make jokes and I make the same exact joke and you get mad at me.
Speaker 1:I'm laughing Anyway.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay Okay, there's different flirting styles.
Speaker 1:That's right.
Speaker 2:Five of them, so they are physical which is, you know, using physical confidence, touching each other, physical attraction to flirt. They generally have an easier time signaling their attraction, obviously because it's more tangible. Traditional, which is a traditional courtship, which is where you kind of wait for the man to do, you know, to do the where he goes after you. The next is sincere, where you show emotional connection and sincere interest and people tend to develop intimacy early on in relationships. You can do this by eliciting self-disclosure, providing social support and showing like a genuine interest in each other. Mm-hmm, okay, um, it's generally a romantic but not necessarily a sexual manner, so it's like more like Playful. Yeah, well, there actually is a hold on. There's polite, where you're cautious, you're not too forward and you're following like proper manners. You tend to avoid behaviors that could be potentially construed by others as aggressive or trying too hard or need you know. And the last one is playful, which is having fun, boosting each other's self-esteem, flirting in a way that's more lighthearted.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Okay, which one are you?
Speaker 1:I'd be the that one. Playful, yeah, the more playful, like picking on you kind of.
Speaker 2:Oh, I thought I would be playful too. I feel like you would be more physical or traditional.
Speaker 1:Maybe traditional but more playful. You know, it would be easier if girls cause I know a lot of girls wait for guys to kind of hit on them. But I think girls flirting the physical way would show guys that, oh damn, she's into me.
Speaker 2:So you want, you think guys would like girls to be more like touchy-feely, More forward because touchy-feely is more like holy shit, she's like she's into me, yeah.
Speaker 1:So take notes, girls, try to guys you're into, and then they'll know that they're into you. You get me.
Speaker 2:I agree with that. I think it is better to like show someone physically, to even just like a hand on the knee or just like a or the arm when you're talking.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something.
Speaker 2:Or to be like oh, you're so silly, just like, tap your shoulder a little bit.
Speaker 1:Jesus, don't fucking slap me, brush your shoulder off.
Speaker 2:Thanks, dave Dantroff, but no, yeah, I think. Yeah, it's hard, though, especially if you're coming from a perspective of not just a female, but perspective of someone who is. Some people are shy. It's hard for them, they're shy.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:You know they can't come out of their shell. It's hard to talk to someone.
Speaker 1:So, you know, Playful is the way to go.
Speaker 2:I think, I think playful is the best one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 2:You could just have fun together. Yeah, you know talk, make jokes, nice Okay, and that's why I have flirting or friendly because it's easy to misread signals 100%. Even just like a smile now, like some of those times where you know you smile as a person and someone reads into it too much and they're like oh hey, so can I get your number?
Speaker 1:then You're like oh, I heard this somewhere, but I told a couple of my friends this Don't mistake kindness for likeness. That's like a big thing because, like you said, a girl could smile at you or like be really nice to you, and you're like, oh my God, she's like.
Speaker 2:She's into me.
Speaker 1:Like people fucking could be nice. You know, like even guys, you can open the door for someone if you're I don't know anywhere, or be nice to a girl. You're not necessarily into them, you're just being like a gentleman, you know. But some people always mistake it for like, oh, they're into me and it's like dude, that's like normal shit you should be doing.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, even as a girl, there's times where you just even like you, say thank you or like smile at someone. I feel like now, you know, a lot of times girls talk about having resting bitch face and it's because you smile at someone. You just say thank you, you know, you, you know, just acknowledge someone in like a friendly manner and then all of a sudden it's oh, hey, oh, and you're getting hit on.
Speaker 1:I could see that. When you don't want to Sure, I could see that too.
Speaker 2:So it's. You know it's hard to read signals.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So here are some ways that you could distinguish being flirty versus friendly.
Speaker 1:Let's hear them.
Speaker 2:Making prolonged eye contact.
Speaker 1:That's a fucking good one. If you're into someone and they're into you, you guys will eye fuck each other.
Speaker 2:Oh, dude, you're like I do. Oh, you've, you've, you've prolonged the eye contact.
Speaker 1:No, but I know it's real. You know, dude, the eye contact is like. I seen this video, too, of this guy who was making like a YouTube video or something and this girl walked by him and she wasn't even part of the video and they like looked at each other Aw cute. And then he just looked at the camera and then he was. He made like face like what the heck? And then she walked by like with their friends and then she turned back around and he turned around and he's like fuck, I'm going to go talk to her. And he went, he got it. Yeah, I just saw that like a couple weeks ago. But eye contact is like a dude. That's a gnarly thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think if you keep like, even if you're at different like places or settings in a room, if you keep looking at each other keep like telling, kind of telling each other like hey, I see you.
Speaker 1:I'm here. That's cute. Yeah, I think that's a great like starting point, I guess.
Speaker 2:Nice, yeah. Next one is make physical contact touching an arm, tapping each other. Next one is ask more in depth questions.
Speaker 1:Whoa.
Speaker 2:So if you're talking to them, obviously no, like little things you know, want to get to know them, yeah. The next one is detect romance in the air. So your environment, like read into your environment.
Speaker 1:Read the room.
Speaker 2:Are you on a walk with a bunch of friends or are you secluded in like a little corner talking to each other?
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Or are they equally giving attention, the same amount of attention they're giving you to? You know the people that they're talking to the next to them. Yeah, okay. The last one is tilting their head, so I was kind of confused by this one.
Speaker 1:I am confused.
Speaker 2:In a study published in the Journal of Sex Research, researchers used a facial action coding system to detect the kinds of faces people pull while flirting. The coding showed the most effective flirting cues include a head turned to one side and tilted down slightly. So a head turned to one side, tilted down slightly and a slight smile oh gollar, feel creepy and eyes turned toward the implied target. Hold on, let me turn to you, ha.
Speaker 1:Ha, is this working? I feel like we both have white blood. I feel like I have fucking cerebral palsy White blood. I feel like you're saying Bounce palsy.
Speaker 2:I feel like we have cerebral palsy, cerebral palsy, oh no, hey, mouse palsy.
Speaker 1:Hey, how's it going? Oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2:No, don't do that.
Speaker 1:Okay, no offense, but.
Speaker 2:Okay, so to one side, tilted down slightly.
Speaker 1:I feel like hey, buddy.
Speaker 2:I feel like I turned into a mattress or something I can't even move.
Speaker 1:I'd sleep on you. Is that flirting? I'll take it.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, yeah, so if you see that kind of facial structure they're flirting with?
Speaker 1:you, they like you. Either they like you or they need you to call 911.
Speaker 2:I'm a mid stroke, oh, no, oh no. Okay.
Speaker 1:Don't listen to fucking Harvard or whoever that was.
Speaker 2:The Journal of Sex Research, the people who know things the best.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, my face hurts.
Speaker 2:Okay, so next thing is tips on flirting.
Speaker 1:Cerebral.
Speaker 2:How to flirt the best. So no bended snap. What's that? Do you remember that from Elle Woods?
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 2:Legally blonde. She does where you. She's like oh, I dropped something on the floor and I bend down to pick it up and I snap back up and she's like that and now I think about it kind of looks like a little dog, like it's hanging on its hind legs no bended snap. That doesn't work. Don't do that. No, don't do that. Okay, so actually get into a conversation and get past a small talk. Like you really need to learn about them. Like who likes small talk?
Speaker 1:I mean, I think if you're first talking to someone, so I think once you pass the small talk and you're into more deeper conversation and not like deep, like fucking I don't know, my dad left my family or something Like more you have stuff in common. Cause once you have stuff in common, the conversation could go like super easy, easy going, you know. And then you're just like damn, this person's cool, or like they like to do what I like, or they've done what I like and I think you're into second date, or you're into like being open to hanging out with them more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think once you delve into that deeper connection other than like so you like hot Cheetos.
Speaker 1:Yeah, nothing like stupid.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think once you go a little bit deeper than that and you get to find out that you guys have more of a connection, then it works better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I mean small talk is necessary, right, like everyone knows. Small talk is there just to kind of break the ice and not make things weird Like a sea lion. Yeah, but then the more you're what.
Speaker 2:That was from the tip that the-.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, but once it gets a little more deeper than that, then it's better yeah.
Speaker 2:Nice, okay. Next one is remember flirting is not about you. Don't talk about yourself too much. Don't always immediately turn a conversation back to yourself. You want to learn about them. People you know inherently kind of do like talking about themselves or interests. So if you can keep a conversation going much longer, you usually can if you're talking more about them. Yeah, Like you know people like to talk about what they like usually, so you also get a lot of more details about themselves that you can relate to or talk about.
Speaker 1:I think it's important, especially for guys, to not talk about yourself so much, give like little detail as possible, because it keeps it kind of like mysterious in a way.
Speaker 2:An air of mystery. Yeah, who is he? Yeah, like they want to.
Speaker 1:Keep talking to your get to know you. Second dates for yep 100% no.
Speaker 2:I remember that, like I remember like guys like just be like oh, what about this about you? What about this about you like, oh, you like, I see you're wearing these shoes.
Speaker 1:You like those yeah you don't want to show your fucking hand before the draw. You know, I Just made that up. I don't that's real.
Speaker 2:Oh, I went along with it, so it works.
Speaker 1:Be mysterious.
Speaker 2:Next one is playfully tease.
Speaker 1:That's mine, that mine is like playfully tease, like into bullying. Sometimes I take it too far. I'm just like, I just like to play around with you, yeah.
Speaker 2:I'm in the corner crying. Sometimes, Okay, this is just a creative thing, but you know, look for opportunities. You know, but don't be mean or rude, you know and. But obviously if you're also teasing them like kind of include yourself in it, like like pick on yourself. Yeah, that works a lot like yeah, picking.
Speaker 1:That's. A great tip is to not only like jab at them, but like yeah, throw yourself in the mix.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like even if you're talking to them and they're kind of like not into you, like I'm sorry, I'm so I'm, I'm bad at flirting. I'm not good at this, like even just saying something like humble, show your humble yeah for sure you don't want to be too cocky.
Speaker 1:No like that, but no, some girls like that no.
Speaker 2:I have not met one girl that likes a cocky guy.
Speaker 1:I'll cocky. You don't want to be cocky, confident a little bit, but you want to kind of Like I said it's not playing the dumb card, but it's like pick on yourself so they know you're kind of down on earth and you're like a cool dude.
Speaker 2:Well, that's different. That's different. That's like humbling yourself versus being cocky. Yeah girls will a hundred percent choose the man who was humble over the man who was cocky.
Speaker 1:That's a bold statement though.
Speaker 2:It is and I stand by it. We'll see with a lot of girls.
Speaker 1:Maybe, maybe not.
Speaker 2:The last thing is to just be sincere. People can detect when you're being fake, when you're just trying to. You know, talk to them for one thing only If you're not really into them, if, when you're trying to talk to them, your eyes are looking somewhere else.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't be fake. That's just fucking lame, because why are you there? Why don't? Don't? I'll beat you up. Probably fake people fucking grind my gears, man.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Took a doctor.
Speaker 2:Now we're in the corner crying again. Fuck everybody.
Speaker 1:Don't be fake. If you're not into them, don't even give like that sucks when you're kind of like going along with it and you're not really even into them.
Speaker 2:And then oh yeah, being fake. Well, let's make that like a little point. Like, if you're not into the flirting, what do you do?
Speaker 1:You know you're not into them, but don't be an asshole about it. Just like. Kind of like, let the conversation kind of slowly die, don't keep it going. You know like let it naturally kind of end and then you just go on your way or whatever.
Speaker 2:But I think that's kind of hard, though, because there are people who keep the conversation going like for themselves, like I can know, like, oh, I think they like me, like they keep talking over and over yeah what would you do? I think it's just. It just comes down to like a Like, a Statement of no, thank you, or like really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, like that's straightforward if someone's trying to flirt with you if someone, if someone's trying to flirt with you and you're not into it, then you just kind of be like oh yeah, ha ha. Like laugh at what they're saying, but be like I'm sorry, I have to go. Like yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, something like that. Don't say like no, I think that's kind of killing. The conversation is like oh yeah, I have to go, or Just saying, oh no, thank you.
Speaker 2:Well, no, not just when they come up saying no, thank you, just being. If they're talking to you, then be like oh yeah, no, I'm sorry I have to. You know, go over here, my friend's calling me your. Okay, last thing if you're texting Cuz you flirt when you're texting- that's so much easier, I think do you I? These are what I read. Use emojis.
Speaker 1:I'm not a big emoji guy.
Speaker 2:I'm not either but it's it said. Using emoji says that you're putting more effort into the conversation other than just typing things out.
Speaker 1:Like you know, I Don't even think it's necessarily emojis or typing things out. I think it's how fast you get a response, because obviously if you're Into someone you're gonna make time to text them quick. We've talked about this before.
Speaker 2:That's what I have.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so it's not just about emojis or whatever. You're gonna fucking Responding the cute way, I guess I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm the cute way as an emoji with a hard eyes or an emoji with you know the egg-pond emoji Very cute with some with a peach a peach. I was gonna say a peach. I just fruits and vegetables and.
Speaker 1:I just saw Joe Coy in In. Brooklyn, new York but he's a comedian and he talked about that. Like my kid doesn't know what the fuck they're doing in life, like they don't they. They text people with fucking egg-planned emojis with shit squirting out of it. But that's what I thought of when we talked about emojis eggplanned, because he fucking said that in one of his jokes. Oh, I was hilarious, but I guess that's the way the kids for nowadays is egg-planned emojis with fucking the splash, the little splash sign on some peaches.
Speaker 2:Hey, they're not a day five, five, five fruits a day veggies a day, get your servants and kids.
Speaker 1:Shack, do that commercial. He'd say five fruits a day.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1:And then they say don't do that, because you get diabetes.
Speaker 2:Oh, just text your fruits just text your fruits.
Speaker 1:You won't get the sugars you won every couple days will be good.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and the last one I had is what you said match their text, speed and frequency. So, whatever they're doing, match it, and I've talked to friends too before and they've said that too, like oh, he's taking this song, while I guess I'm gonna take this one.
Speaker 1:I don't seem too eager if they're taking like quite a bit of time. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So, next is our man oh shit, I almost had a hot gas.
Speaker 2:Oh, you almost sang the wrong thing. What's?
Speaker 1:that man? Let's hear it.
Speaker 2:Our ask, men, is what is the most shallowest deal breaker that you hold secretly? I'm not secret about it, but those dragon talon nails so gross the feet of the hands Probably both.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the feet fucking. Oh, that's disgusting. Keep those fucking things tailored, baby.
Speaker 2:No tailored talons tailored. This weird knees. You can be a straight dime, but if your knees are weird then I'm out you have Not weird knees, but you have like very, oh, because you're skinny.
Speaker 1:So your knees are like. We'll be talking about your knees, Don't? Your knees are like.
Speaker 2:I've never heard you say knees.
Speaker 1:I like putting on your knees. Don't say anything about my knees. I love your knees. I like her.
Speaker 2:How loud they chew food. Yeah, it's pretty gnarly if your entire personality revolves around a specific thing, such as working out or coffee, or tattoos, etc. I need someone a little more well well rounded.
Speaker 1:I think those are all pretty good, like oh, that's annoying.
Speaker 2:What was a girl in a Love is blind, where she made Puerto Rico? Oh my god, puerto Rico is right, puerto Rico was her thing where she I'm loud, I'm Puerto Rican, which it's fine. You're from Puerto Rico, that's fine. But everything was I'm a Puerto Rican, oh, I'm from Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1:Oh well, puerto Rican people, you know listen, I'm Puerto Rican and I think I've told like four people in Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, I don't fucking. That's not like a cool thing to flex about not just where you're from, but like don't keep saying it, yeah, it was fucking annoying. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Fucker oh yeah, she's the worst. Oh, she's the worst.
Speaker 2:Okay if they scrape their cutlery against the plates when they eat, or if they bite the cutlery when they eat. I can't stand that noise one bit. Someone said Audi belly buttons. Can't believe. Nobody said it yet.
Speaker 1:What's that's natural? I know people can't help that. Yeah, you bitch.
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:I don't like that one. Yeah, I don't like that one either.
Speaker 2:Okay, last is our. Oh no, where are you going?
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, ready.
Speaker 2:Do me off. I threw it, you threw yourself off that belly button guy did a nasal nasal inflection. You Sound like a boat docking. I like GOT.
Speaker 1:I, oh man, that was nice. Okay, let's hear the hot guys.
Speaker 2:It's our hot goss. We only have one today. There's a picture of tips going viral. You know how they flip it. They flip it and expect they'd look it with one eye to make sure you fucking did 20% Well they look at you with one eye and they pretend they're not looking at you. They have their other eye, go the other way. Okay, it went viral because there was an option. You know there's 10%, 15%, 20%. There was one option that was 100%. That's fucking wild.
Speaker 1:That is fucking wild.
Speaker 2:And I think it was like a $37,. We'll have to look for it a tab, but the tip was 37,. Whatever, it was 100% tip.
Speaker 1:That is insane. I know servers bitch about their tips like that's what they live off of. But my thing is and I'm not trying to be a dick I tip, even though I sometimes don't want to. I'll tip whatever. But if you don't like what your wage is cause they say my wage is fucking $3.50 a fucking hour get another fucking job, bro, don't. I think these servers shouldn't expect a tip. It's like Mr Pink said if she doesn't serve me seven fucking coffees, I'm not giving her a tip. That's not what I'm saying. But, dude, if you give good service, sure here's a couple bucks. Go buy a fucking water after work. You know you've been walking. Oh no, you've been walking around in those fucking platforms for eight hours.
Speaker 2:Platforms. Where are you going to eat?
Speaker 1:Hooters? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Whatever shoes they wear, I don't care. People expect like a hefty tip, like for every customer, and you're not deserving of one, straight up. If you're a server, you're not deserving of one. If you give excellent service, you get a little something, sure, but you're not getting 30, 40% tip. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 2:I think there's a difference between tipping a Waitress or a waiter who, someone who is running food back and forth, doing like way more versus someone who is Literally just turning around grabbing food and be like oh well, tip me. Yeah because there are places where you go like I don't know, like when we go to those, like I went today.
Speaker 1:I went today to get my son some fruit and I said can I get this little thing of fruit?
Speaker 2:They're like yeah, $3 was a cup, a plastic cup, with fruit.
Speaker 1:She's yeah, yeah so she said, okay, got it from a little fridge like that, put it in front of me, turn the thing. And it said what tip, bitch? You're getting zero tip.
Speaker 2:You're not doing anything. Okay, see, that's where I agree.
Speaker 1:If you are not like, if you're just turning and doing something, that's fine if you didn't fucking go to the fields and plant that shit yourself, you're not getting a fucking tip, fuck that.
Speaker 2:But if you are someone who is running back and forth Fielding, I want warm, I want more ranch, I'm asking for more drinks, I'm then you get a tip, because that's service, they're serving you.
Speaker 1:And that's the thing too, like it's, it's weird, because that's what they signed up for. Like you, if I go and get a server job For minimum wage, oh, I'm expecting tips from every customer. Like.
Speaker 2:But shouldn't.
Speaker 1:That's what you're getting the job for you should fucking just Get. Make sure you get your hourly wage. That's it. Why are you expecting a tip from okay?
Speaker 2:But there are places, though, like I had a cut, my cousin he was working in I forgot what state he was working in and there were places that when you're working there, your wage is considerably lower because they know you're working for tips. So since they know you're working for tips, they're paying less and you're working for those tips. That's why you have to work for those tips, to get those tips. So his his wage to live was made off of tips.
Speaker 1:I think you just get another job, then you shouldn't be a server. Okay, but he did and then that's his fault. That's not anybody else. Did they fucking hold gun in his head and say be a fucking server?
Speaker 2:No, but if that's a job that you can find at that point in time, then you get that.
Speaker 1:I mean, I guess so. But there's people who bust their ass to go to their favorite restaurant or want to eat a good meal where they can't tip. They could just afford their meal. And then there's service who say well, if you can't tip, then you shouldn't come eat here.
Speaker 2:That shit fucking pisses me right off, like yeah, I don't think anyone, I don't think anyone should say that yeah, they do.
Speaker 1:They do, though. I Went to this fucking brewery in Santa Rosa when the bartender, or whoever she was, was, like I was having this great conversation with this couple. They ordered like a $60 bill and they didn't leave me a tip. I wanted to be like who cares? You're really like letting that upset you that they didn't leave you a fucking $5 tip. Like Dude, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I don't know, maybe it was a long hard day for, and I don't give a shit, I don't care.
Speaker 1:You're fucking pulling a fucking tap to fill up a beer. How hard can it be? You're talking to people. I Don't know. Tipping is fucking yeah.
Speaker 2:I feel like tippings become a very hot topic these days.
Speaker 1:Let me make this clear.
Speaker 2:There's a finger up Wow, I.
Speaker 1:Tip now pretty decent only because of me I do. I'm doing better in my life, I'm making a little bit more money, so I tip just because I'm not an asshole, you know. But If I was working my two full-time jobs and my two part-time jobs that I did for fucking five years I Wouldn't tip as much. Or if it was shitty service, I would tip zero, like I Don't know. Don't come at me with that bullshit, fuck that.
Speaker 2:Okay, well, I just went to Starbucks and I got some hot chocolates for the kids because it was our first rainy day in a long time, so we made a little hot chocolate run and I went up to pay and the guy was super nice and he was like, okay, your total is blah, blah, blah. And I pulled my car. He was like okay, card. And he turned the thing and he immediately I saw him he pushed zero like he, he did no tip for himself and then he turned it around. That's the homie. And yeah, so I could pay did you tip?
Speaker 1:I did see, yeah, put zero and people will fucking tip your ass. Yeah, that's a little trick. We went to fucking. We did a road trip from Seattle back down to California and there was a place. Where was it? In Portland or?
Speaker 2:Seattle the brewery. It was a brewery.
Speaker 1:It was one of those fucking weirdo states where we went to a brewery and I mean the kids had a little play section, like we bought a fly. There was some barbecue. I wanted to leave a couple bucks. You know Like, oh, dude, go buy a fucking, buy yourself a beer. You know there was a sign there and even the guy told me oh, we don't accept tips. There was a sign there that said tips come from. It's gonna sound so crazy when I say it, but it's real. What did it say? Tip for connected to slavery. Somehow Tips are sexist, somehow.
Speaker 2:Okay, you can't like. If you don't know, that's what it says, don't add that.
Speaker 1:But it says it. It said it. I'm gonna post it now. I'm not saying this. They said this. The reason they had this sign out was because the sign also said we pay our employees well, Way more.
Speaker 2:I think they were starting at like $30. $30.
Speaker 1:$25 or $30.
Speaker 2:Yeah, way more than you know the basic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so they try to include, I guess, the tips in another hourly wage because they don't stand for tipping, because it's connected to sexism and racism and all this weirdo shit they did. I promise you I'm not lying. I know for a fact. It says that, so I'm gonna post the picture. That's the only thing I agree with Seattle Is they don't tip there. Actually, that fucking breakfast spot was good, what's it called? Biscuit bitch, Biscuit bitch dude, keep doing your thing, my favorite thing is when we went to biscuit bitch.
Speaker 2:We all ordered there's five of us so we got a few, a few amount of biscuits and they handed you the bag and they were like you got a hefty bag of bitches here hold two hands. And they say Chris bitch, didn't they say that or something? No I would have slapped them. Oh, please, you would have danced over there.
Speaker 1:That place was delicious. It was so good, the sauce and everything. We all loved it. Yeah, anyway.
Speaker 2:That's it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, don't expect to tip if you're a server.
Speaker 2:I was gonna say tip us, tip us, we have.
Speaker 1:I think I created a buy me coffee thing and you did, but I scratched it out and said beer, like for Bud Ice. And not one of our million listeners has bought us a beer.
Speaker 2:Wait, where can you find that? Where is that?
Speaker 1:On our fucking description in our YouTube.
Speaker 2:Really it says buy us beer, buy us a Bud Ice. Yeah, spend $5, get us two beers man $5.
Speaker 1:You hear the dog barking in the background.
Speaker 2:He wants you to buy us a beer.
