Nashville Cars and Waffle House

Speaker 1

Welcome back . So this past Saturday I took my kid to Nashville Cars and Coffee .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah , yeah , it's a car enthusiast event . What time is it in the morning ?

Speaker 1

Eight to eleven , but really you want to get there and be there eight to ten-ish , because some of those people start , you know , leaving in their McLarens and their Porsches and 1955 .

Speaker 2

Is it everything ? It's like old cars , new cars .

Speaker 1

Vintage supercars , electric cars . Where is it ? At Nashville Speedway , which is out in Lebanon .

Speaker 2

Okay .

Speaker 1

It's like 45 minutes from my house , but he loves it . It's the first Saturday of the month . There's also one in Franklin . We haven't been there yet Franklin Cars and Coffee . I think it's probably smaller , but there's a lot of people . It's not crowded , it's free . You just dress for whatever weather . There's some food trucks like breakfast-y type food trucks . We don't ever do that , but we just go and look at the cars . We stay probably for one and a half two hours .

Speaker 2

Nice .

Speaker 1

Walk around . Some of the cars are repeat visits . There's an orange McLaren and a blue one . That's been there . Maybe it's a Lamborghini .

Speaker 2

Like every time .

Speaker 1

Yeah , sometimes you get the car owners sometimes let people sit in them or whatever . I just want to drive it . The etiquette is you don't touch it and you just look at it , but like there's some like Mustangs from 1965 and some foreign cars and like it's super interesting because there's every kind of person there .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Most are males . There's some females , but like Common denominator is cars .

Speaker 2

common denominator is cars .

Speaker 1

Common denominator is cars . Yeah , like people are taking pictures A lot of like young people to like , bring in like a real camera , remember like the Nikon or Canon SLRs like , or they have their phone on one of those things . It's a gimbal . My son Ben has one of those where it's like you can walk around with your phone and it kind of moves real smooth yeah , it looks like you're like filming a movie yeah , like er used it like for the first time or whatever it was , you know 30 years ago , when they were never stopped a one shot or whatever .

Speaker 1

but you got all these young people taking pictures like , yeah , it's pretty cool , so , but it's an activity . But usually we go home and have breakfast after that like a big breakfast , but this time I take them to Waffle House .

Speaker 2

Did you get the All-Star special ? That's what I used to get .

Speaker 1

I got whatever the eggs and bacon and hash browns and toast is . I think it's like a number one . I don't know what it is yeah . He gets the . It's basically their version of Philly cheesesteak on Texas toast steak and cheese and Texas toast .

Speaker 2

Really oh yeah .

Speaker 1

He's all about it . So that was on Saturday , uh-huh . I accidentally opened my news feed and yesterday saw where Waffle House is now going to have a 50 cent surcharge per egg because of eggflation , and I guess the it's called eggflation . No , I just made that up .

Speaker 1

Oh , that's good , but it should be the Evian flu or whatever Expensive water flu . I don't know . I'm not making fun of it , but I was like well doggone . I'm glad I got the regular price , because when I go back to Waffle House I will just be getting the hash browns or something 50 cents more an egg .

Speaker 2

I think I saw something on that . I don't know when they did did it , but they didn't have it on saturday I think they make , like I'm trying to think it showed how many eggs they make or how many eggs they sell in a year yeah , and it was like yeah I don't know , 200 like 300 million or something like that . So crazy yeah so I'm like , wait a minute , you're going to get a 50 cents 150 mil a year .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I mean , I know they got to pay for it , but I mean it's kind of brilliant and I'll say this oh , go ahead no . Do they call it surcharge ?

Speaker 1

Because somebody said sir we're going to have to charge you S-U-R . No , I , I know , oh yeah , but it sounds like it just came from that it does .

Speaker 2

Yeah , excuse me , sir .

Speaker 1

I don't take all that extra charge because that's what it is , but I was thinking the Waffle House is kind of like the Cars and Coffee there's every kind of person .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah .

Speaker 1

When you walk in a Waffle House , it doesn't matter what your job is because really it's whoever . I'm going to say it's the cook , but it's technically the alpha waitress , whoever the head most seniority waitress is Right , I shouldn't say waitress .

Speaker 2

I guess I should say Server Server Probably shouldn't say whatever the people running it .

Speaker 1

Most of the time it's a female , but sometimes it's a male . But whoever's the most honey and at the same time all business ?

Speaker 2

Sweetheart yeah .

Speaker 1

And probably high hair , you know , closer , higher hair , close to God , or you know , yeah , they've got a lot of flair going on . And usually they're so nice .

Speaker 2

And they're running that ship man , you don't want them too nice though .

Speaker 1

No , because they got to keep it moving . There was a wait . But she was like I can't believe . This person doesn't want to sit up here at the bar . My goodness , she goes . You sure you don't want to sit up here at the bar , there's two open right now . And he goes . No , I'm going to wait for a table . And she kind of like rolled her eyes , like rolled her eyes .

Speaker 2

Highfalutin dude got to sit at the table .

Speaker 1

My not my husband my son and I were waiting because we wanted to sit at a booth or whatever , and and he's a big guy , so it was already pretty crowded at the bar , you know , and I was like he kind of looked at me like oh , don't mess with her .

Speaker 1

And I was like yep , like oh , don't mess with her . And I was like yep , she's in charge . So again , doesn't matter what CEO like comes in there , or if it's high schoolers , or if it's somebody who's obviously down on their luck . Whatever , everybody's equal . You're waiting and you're nice to the cook and they're all fixing everybody's stuff .

Speaker 2

And you can see them do it . Yeah , so you're all . Yeah , everyone , you're at the mercy everyone is equal in the eyes of a waffle house waitress yeah yeah , and I used to like . Well , I didn't like it . But back in the day they come over they'd have a cigarette hanging out of their mouth and they'd have a little notepad like what you want .

Speaker 1

Yeah , like what you want hon man that food was .

Speaker 2

So yeah , yeah it , yeah , it's good .

Speaker 1

It's greasy , but it's good Doggone . I just got the eggs before the surcharge hit it's called a ma'am charge . Ma'am charge . I got eggs , I get bacon extra crispy .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah .

Speaker 1

And I got the hash browns .

Speaker 2

I can't get them smothered , just getting them in the order , okay .

Speaker 1

And then I got toast .

Speaker 2

No .

Speaker 1

I got a biscuit and I ate it Wow .

Speaker 2

I would always go . I don't go there much anymore , but I used to get the all-star special which is a waffle , and then you get two eggs , I get them scrambled with cheese , and then I would get , and then you get hash browns .

Speaker 1

Oh .

Speaker 2

I get hash browns smothered and covered with onions and cheese . Yeah , or is that right ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , diced Chopped , then you get like two or four .

Speaker 2

Two pieces of toast .

Speaker 1

You ate all that .

Speaker 2

Yeah , that's what you , my buddy , used to get . He would get his hash browns all the way .

Speaker 1

Yes , so like jalapeno peppers , chili yeah .

Speaker 2

The whole deal . He would get the all-star special , that and then like an extra order of something .

Speaker 1

And a bottle of Tums .

Speaker 2

Pretty much yeah . Wow , but yeah , I saw something where somebody was like trying to complain at a Waffle House . That's the wrong place , and they're like I need to speak to the manager and I don't know , maybe it was a joke .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

But they're like there is no manager .

Speaker 1

Right , this is Waffle House . We're open 24 hours a day . Yeah , you're talking to it .

Speaker 2

We are the law .

Speaker 1

Yeah , exactly , yeah . Well , there are sort of a barometer for how bad the weather event happens . Well , you know it like oh yeah you know how bad is the ice storm in the south . Well , if the waffle house still open , it's not quite as bad as everything if waffle house shuts down you need to get out of town or go get in a bunker yeah panic room .

Speaker 2

Let's go yeah , we asked uh , one time we're at waffle house and we got into I guess the guy was cooking and um waitress brought the stuff over and we started asking it and they were telling us all the rules like of how they . I was like how do you know what's what ? Yeah and , uh , she was like oh well , if the butter's like this on the plate , it's a regular , and if the butter is upside down , that means it's a pecan waffle , and then like so it's oh , yeah , yeah , some of that is just like where the butter is placed , how they put this on the plate .

Speaker 2

It tells you what kind of whatever so ? It's like wow , it's gotta take forever yeah .

Speaker 1

So like get that down . Yeah , because there's so many variations on everything , because you can get how do you want your eggs , how do you want your toast , how do you want your bacon ? I mean , that's hard , yeah , that's hard . That's some hard-working people , but anyway , so waffle house it was good cars .

Speaker 1

And then we and it was like it wasn't freezing last weekend , so the month before we like basically had everything but the hot hands , things in our gloves and our shoes , you know , and went and we're like okay , we can probably stay about 45 minutes .

Speaker 2

That's a beautiful car . Does it have a heater ?

Speaker 1

Can I sit in it

Rivian Test Drive and Asteroid Talk

Speaker 1

? That day we test drove a Rivian just because we were freezing .

Speaker 2

Oh , did you . Was it the truck or the SUV ?

Speaker 1

The truck .

Speaker 2

I love those .

Speaker 1

The four-door . Have you been in one ?

Speaker 2

I went to a . No , well , they used to have a .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah , the downtown .

Speaker 2

The little downtown , we'll call it , not a dealership like a pop it's like a pop-up dealership .

Speaker 1

I don't know .

Speaker 2

Face storefront whatever . Yeah , yeah , so I had one in there oh gotcha , so I got to sit in it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it was comfortable . They're cool . Randall drove it , I didn't drive it and our son was with us and the guy was super nice , but it has some cool features . Yeah , yeah , they're cool looking cars , if you want to go camping and you have an outlet where you're going .

Speaker 2

I guess I don't know , I don't understand they don't have this anymore , but when Rivian first came out , I remember the truck . They didn't have the SUV Because I used to look at them like five years ago .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

Back when they were less expensive , yeah , and when they first came out with the truck it had a kitchen option , so they had the little fold down thing . Oh yeah , the fold down side thing , and you pulled out a thing it had the sink , it had an induction range .

Speaker 1

It had silverware it was like $7,500 . Yeah , I bet you can still get that add on .

Speaker 2

No , I don't think they do it anymore .

Speaker 1

Oh .

Speaker 2

Because I think when it started it was more for like outdoorsy .

Speaker 1

Yeah , enthusiasts , yeah , for sure , and then they're like it's going to be hard to mass produce . Yeah , right .

Speaker 2

Kitchens .

Speaker 1

Exactly .

Speaker 2

Truck , I guess .

Speaker 1

Yeah , anyway , so we did that , but yeah , so , if you're going to Waffle House . Yeah , and then I wonder if yeah , and I got all kind of questions about the surcharge .

Speaker 2

Well , we did it . I guess they're surcharging everywhere , because I was at Costco Spoiler alert . That never happens and Robin said I guess grab some eggs . You know , we had some , but she eats eggs every day .

Speaker 1

Right .

Speaker 2

Like four every morning or something , and I'm always like man that was good , I should make eggs . I'm lazy . And I'm always like man that was good , I should make eggs . I'm lazy . And you don't , yeah , I just heat up a bagel , but yeah , so I was just grabbing like a couple . And there was a lady next to me and she was just like I don't know . Working at Wawa House , maybe I guess she was getting ready to surcharge some people , because she was just slinging those things in her cart .

Speaker 2

I was like it's not that many left .

Speaker 1

Wow , yeah , so anyway whatever , but we'll say this pulled up my weather app . This was yesterday yes , I won outside and I have the weather channel app , and so I scroll down a little bit to where it says today , this week . And then the third column usually says something like getting chilly or I don't know future rain . But it didn't say that . It said Ice storm . It didn't say ice storm .

Speaker 2

Or snowpocalypse .

Speaker 1

Okay , so we're in January . It didn't say ice storm , it said asteroid coming question mark . And I was like look at the silly people at the weather channel being all funny . And then I was like wait what ? I'm being all funny . And then I was like wait what ? And then I clicked on it and it said could this asteroid , could this large asteroid , hit Earth in 2032 ?

Speaker 2

Wait a minute . Yeah that's what it said . So the same people that somehow can't get the seven-day forecast are working on a six-year forecast . Sorry , seven . It's all or nothing with these people .

Speaker 1

Or it's like microscopic , like there was a lightning strike three miles from you , or could this asteroid hit in however many years is that ?

Speaker 2

Yeah , but is it going to rain today ?

Speaker 1

Do I need to water my tomatoes ? Oh , we don't do that . Yeah , I'm like , can you specialize in what's needed , but I don't know , so it may not matter that the eggs are going up in price if the asteroid is coming , but it's going to be a minute .

Speaker 2

That's seven years .

Speaker 1

I don't know .

Speaker 2

That's a lot of surcharging .

Speaker 1

Yeah , they said it's as big as a building .

Speaker 2

What kind of building ?

Speaker 1

I don't know . Yeah , what are we talking ? Eiffel Tower ? What are we talking the two-story insurance building on ?

Speaker 2

Old .

Speaker 1

Hickory Boulevard ? I don't know , that's a broad term . It's broad .

Speaker 2

Are we talking tiny house ?

Waffle House Jukebox and Greasy Diners

Speaker 1

Exactly . And it's like a 1% , 1 point , something percent chance .

Speaker 2

Okay .

Speaker 1

Well , I mean one's pretty high to end . That's what they said .

Speaker 2

Right , I don't know , I pulled up the article and Well , they're wrong 50% of the time time and it's a one percent chance . So it really is like a point .

Speaker 1

That's not how math works , but whatever yeah , if they're going on , if we're going on their record of like getting the forecast right right we're fine , yeah , but I will say this yeah , if an asteroid is coming , I would prefer to no location . Mm-hmm Okay . Because , if okay .

Speaker 2

All right . Well , that's kind of not to get dark , but I'm saying , if an asteroid is coming , I kind of want front row seats for that .

Speaker 1

So you want to go out that way ?

Speaker 2

Yeah , I'm going to get a lawn chair . I ain't even wearing sunglasses , you know what ?

Speaker 1

I'm saying what was that movie Don't nobody want to be on the outskirts .

Speaker 2

No , no , no , no , you don't want to like , come out later and be like I made it .

Speaker 1

Yeah , yeah , yeah you don't want to be you either want to be on the other side of the world .

Speaker 2

You think eggs were expensive before .

Speaker 1

What the tsunami is going on .

Speaker 2

Now you can be like I've got a car , Can you give me three eggs ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , exactly , yeah , I don't know . So anyway , that's where we are . I guess the weather now includes meteor possibilities .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I don't want to know the meteor forecast . I don't either . Or possibilities yeah , I don't want to know the meteor forecast ?

Speaker 1

I don't either , or lightning , no . No , if it's really lightning , I'm going to go inside .

Speaker 2

Yeah , remember , you just looked outside . Yes , you grow up like is it cold outside ? I don't go out there .

Speaker 1

That's what I tell some of the people in my house when they say I might still be in pajamas . And let's say this person in my house is in clothes and they say do you know how cold it is ? And I'm like I don't know , let's take a beat here and check out what's happening on the inside of the house . You have on clothes . There's a door . Uh , we can solve this in about four seconds yeah , I love .

Speaker 2

I love when , uh , our kids step outside and they're like that's not that bad , like yeah , but you didn't really stay there . Yeah , yeah , yeah , you were out there maybe four seconds and the breeze never hit you right . And then you go somewhere like outside and you're going to be there longer than 10 seconds .

Speaker 1

And they're like , oh man , the wind's cold .

Speaker 2

I'm like that's what it does .

Speaker 1

Yeah , yeah , yeah .

Speaker 2

I'm even bad about that , because we'll take the dogs for a walk and I'm like it'll be fine , I'm not going to be cold .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

And we'll start walking . And then Robin will be like , oh , you're cold again . Yeah , I told you .

Speaker 1

Well , back to the cars and coffee . I was like I'm not going to need my little jacket on top of my hoodie I don't know , t-shirt and a hoodie , whatever , but and it was not a horrible temperature , but I was like I'm going to put my jacket on and take my gloves . Yeah , I was so glad because we were out there for an hour and a half .

Speaker 2

You can always not wear it . You can always be like , you can always take it off , kind of warm .

Speaker 1

You could walk it to the car if you want to . It's not that far .

Speaker 2

There's cars out there .

Speaker 1

Yeah , you could put it in somebody else's car , give it to them , but yeah so . Anyway , it was good to be back in the Waffle House . I haven't been in a long time .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I need to go to Waffle House . We used to have a small town . In high school we did not have a Waffle House , we had a Huddle House .

Speaker 1

Oh , I remember the Huddle House , the .

Speaker 2

Huddle House . Which is about the same .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it's an off-brand .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I mean if there was a huddle house and a waffle house and they were across the street from each other .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

I'm going to waffle house .

Speaker 1

Yeah . But if there's a line , I'll hit up the huddle house , huddle house yeah .

Speaker 2

Which ? How do you start that and not get sued or something ?

Speaker 1

It's got house in it . Yeah , at least omelet shoppy Remember that . Omelet shop S-H-O-P-P-E . It's not French , let's not get crazy , but they'd be like maybe orange and black writing . Those would be on the side of the interstate .

Speaker 2

Omelet shop . Those letters are never all lit up . Ever , Every time you see omelet shop .

Speaker 1

Omelet shop . It's like yeah , yeah .

Speaker 2

Omelet . Let shop what .

Speaker 1

Let pay the light bill . It's always sketchy , but it's basically diner food yeah . Yeah , yeah . And when you walk in those places I always feel like everybody watch your step . You kind of slide in . You can kind of Michael Jackson into one of those things , because it's a little slippery . There's a lot of grease up in the air .

Speaker 2

Oh yeah , the grease just like hits the ceiling and kind of settles on the floor Right .

Speaker 1

It's in the grout . It's never coming out .

Speaker 2

And you do not want to go . Try to get out of there by 10 . Like , if it's late . Oh right , Just you know what Just go home .

Speaker 1

It's a different climate .

Speaker 2

It's probably just better to Go home make your own breakfast .

Speaker 1

If it's after 10 o'clock , surcharge yourself for your own eggs .

Speaker 2

If it's real late , just mm-mm .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

You know what ?

Speaker 1

There's going to be lots of activity . Let's just say Lots of loud conversations .

Speaker 2

Some people could have just had breakfast at the police station , exactly .

Speaker 1

Sometimes the police is already in there . I think sometimes the police is like we should just walk out with this whole table of people . We'd arrest them anyway if we pulled them over . We can just eat and they'll come to us . Yeah , amazing , yeah , that's a two for one right there , I think some do that .

Speaker 2

Some Waffle Houses just have like a cop who's just .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah , oh yeah , that's brilliant . You want that detail . Yeah , yeah , shoot .

Speaker 2

I'm bored . I guess I'll have coffee . I guess I'll eat some more bacon . Just see what happens .

Speaker 1

Follow these people out , see if you can pull them over . They probably need to be . I don't know .

Speaker 2

And . Waffle House it's almost like , especially at night , they're like how can we ramp this up ? We've got people who are not the most patient right now . Yeah , it's late . They're really hungry . Let's put a jukebox in the mix .

Speaker 1

Let's let random people pick music .

Speaker 2

Yeah , that is not smart .

Speaker 1

Well , I don't know if this is possible , but I guess it is because I heard the same song three times in a row . So I think somebody left their child picket on .

Speaker 2

Saturday oh gosh , I was like .

Speaker 1

This is why . This is why not everybody is in charge of everything on earth .

Speaker 2

Because some people Don't rock the jukebox , there's a .

Speaker 1

Taylor Swift and you know I don't dislike her music . It was one of her older songs which I like .

Speaker 2

But I like our music . It was one of our older songs which I don't I like , but I was like this is too many times , three in a row , yeah people's eyes were starting to twitch and stuff like that , I pulled that plug .

Speaker 1

Oops , yeah , I'm surprised the head waitress didn't go over , just be like , nope , we're not doing that , no . And then I kind of like it because you still get your little ticket , at least where we are . They give you the paper ticket to go up and pay . You know , yeah , there's no take your . I mean you pay with your card if you want to , but like they're still like punching it in off the what the person wrote on it oh , there's probably people still paying cash there oh yeah , they ain't never gonna stop taking cash at the waffle house .

Speaker 1

I don't think so . I don't think so . I don't think you want to try it . No , not at the Waffle House .

Speaker 2

You try to pay cash at a Waffle House and they don't take it . You better have a cop there .

Speaker 1

Yeah , that cop better be having his dinner then .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

But anyway , now I'm hungry for Waffle House . Now I'm gone .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I could eat an All-Star special right now .

Speaker 1

I wonder if Huddle House has like a mvp special , they just rename it . Yeah , man , that's kind of like levi's and hustler jeans , you know a little bit , it's a little bit off brand , didn't that ? Didn't hustle make a gene ? I know there's something else as a hustler , but that's not what I'm talking about .

Speaker 2

I should I should have said wrangler or maybe lee . No , remember lee , there we go . Lee is the huddle house . Lee couldn't even afford to vise , it was just .

Speaker 1

Yeah , l-e-e .

Speaker 2

I remember .

Speaker 1

Sorry , I had Lee Jeans growing up too .

Speaker 2

I remember having Levi's and being proud .

Speaker 1

Mm-hmm .

Speaker 2

And then having Lee and try to cover the Lee with my belt . What ? Because it said Lee it said Lee and I wanted people to think I had Levi's .

Speaker 1

They know it ain't the same font . What are ? You seven yeah probably .

Speaker 2

Oh my gosh , yeah , I remember trying to cover it up .

Speaker 1

Oh , I didn't cover it up . I had Lee jeans , but I know that feeling having like one pair where you're like I'll just mix it in on a Thursday and then a Friday , go back to the Levi's .

Speaker 2

Yeah , our boys now , like I , still have a couple pair of jeans . Yeah , but I do not . I do not wear jeans . They're the most uncomfortable things in the world . Yeah , I feel like it's like wearing a burlap sack .

Speaker 1

I think there are a lot of people in this generation , or just time in this time , that have realized they're not as comfortable as we thought . No , it's like concrete . Why did we do that ?

Speaker 2

What are we doing ? Our boys are like . I think one day it was like just here . Try these on or they were putting them on and they were like oh my gosh Kind of stiff and I was like quit overreacting and then like I hadn't worn jeans in like three years maybe .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

And then the other day I put on a pair of jeans . I was like I can't walk . This is insane .

Speaker 1

They're more uncomfortable than a pair of like nice khakis or dressier pants .

Speaker 2

Even for women , I think oh , totally .

Speaker 1

And men probably , you know .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I mean , I guess they're durable .

Speaker 1

They're durable . If you got to go , you know , round up some cattle or something . I guess that's what you want .

Speaker 2

Or riding a motorcycle . Yeah , if you plan on lassoing a calf and having it drag you down the dirt road , you probably want the durable Lees Levi Hustler .

Speaker 1

Whatever you got .

Speaker 2

Right . Yeah , I'm trying to think of other off-brand jeans I can't think of any jeans ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , I think that's it wasn't it . And there were some back in the day , the really wrangler , the really thick ones , and there were the really dark blue . And they were rough . They're like putting on sandpaper .

Speaker 2

And then you get that patch . Remember the patch on the knees Sewn on patch ? Oh , these aren't going anywhere . No , it's iron .

Speaker 1

Iron on Iron-on patch oh , these aren't going anywhere .

Speaker 2

No , it's iron , you got a whole iron-on .

Speaker 1

Yeah , some of them are iron-on , and then you just and everybody knows it's a patch , you know it's a patch .

Speaker 2

Yeah , and it was like oh , you got a hole in your jeans . Let me give you a piece of blue sandpaper .

Speaker 1

Now people pay for the holes .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Yeah , and it was big Any child's knee . Yeah , it's like a five by seven .

Speaker 2

I had jeans with holes . It could have been a surcharge 50 cent per hole . I love the people that have the holes so big it's like you could probably just go shorts .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

Just get a scissor . I see a knee , a thigh , like everything .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I know , I know I'm old , but what are you going to do ?

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2

They're this close to jorts .

Speaker 1

Yeah .

Speaker 2
