Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:59

I mean, we're getting really good now. I would say that we're playing with exceptional virtuosity.

SPEAKER_12 1:06

Uh, welcome to number one podcast for people. I am Sliceberg. I am Gatorberg.

SPEAKER_03 1:13

It's a new nickname. We got a new nickname, Gatorberg. Oh, well, how are we doing today, Slice? Doing great. It's a beautiful day in North Central Florida, as always.

SPEAKER_12 1:22

It is. It is a beautiful day. And I tell you what, just to let our listeners let them in on a little secret. I just picked you up from work because we're gonna go get some lunch. I'm hungry, I have no food at the house. I'm so hungry, I can't wait. I'm hungry. And so um I picked you up, you got in the car, and we just started playing music, doing sweet, beautiful music. So I don't even know what's going on with you.

SPEAKER_03 1:45

You know, that's how we do it. We start with the duo. Yeah. Well, well, well, what's what's going on with you? Let's do a health check in it. I was the pensioner. Are you still convalescing or not really? I guess not. We're going out for lunch, though.

SPEAKER_12 2:00

No, I'm better. I'm better. Yeah. So I'm not 100%, but I would say I'm about 85%. Oh, great. That's great news, yeah. I would say in the last and like yesterday, I uh like two days ago, I was probably 75%. Okay, true. Four days ago, I was probably 65. Like I'm getting, I'm getting I'm getting better all the time. I I'm almost 85% is pretty good.

SPEAKER_03 2:22

That's great. I feel like on a any typical day I'm at about 85%. That's like my my baseline. So yeah. I planted 10 trees a couple days ago in the yard. Yeah, I saw those trees in your truck because I was gonna have to get that.

SPEAKER_12 2:35

I planted a bunch of trees and that felt good. I've got I've I've I'm I'm here's the thing.

SPEAKER_08 2:41

I don't feel that great today. All right, well, that's it's good that at least you're being honest about it.

SPEAKER_12 2:46

I don't feel that great, but I'm everything I do is I'm doing slower. So I I'm 85%, but I'm also at about 60% speed. Like I'm 85% strength, right? But I'm 60% speed. Like I'm just slowing down. Like you're taking it easy. Yeah, planting 10 trees took me all day, right? Whereas normally I would have I could have planted 20 trees. Right, at least 20. What about at least, maybe 18, maybe that's 60%. Anyway, I'm I'm like, I don't know, I I didn't sleep good. And I I don't I don't, you know what I tried is this um it's actually a a product from the uh plant of the uh what do they call it? The marijuana plant. Right, the the hemp plant. The hemp plant that's called CBN. CBN, right. I got these, I got these CBN gummies, whereas there's no THC, there's just CBN.

SPEAKER_03 3:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 3:44

And they I I thought that might help me sleep. Because I had gotten some CBN, I got some THC CBN gummies, and I felt like I slept a little better, but I'm like, I don't really need the THC, I'm going to sleep. I need the CBN.

SPEAKER_09 4:00

Yeah, the part that's supposed to help you sleep. Right, which is the CBN.

SPEAKER_12 4:04

So I got a package of these CBN gummies from an online source. Okay. And so that was legit. It I I've it's been like three nights, and I I wake up in the middle of the night and uh like wide awake, and I'm like, I'm thinking that I gotta stop taking the CBN. Yeah. Maybe um I thought it was gonna help me, but I don't think it's helping me. Yeah.

unknown 4:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 4:25

Or maybe I need to cut the dose down or something. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe I mean I think I should just try to see how I go with sleep without anything, because I mean I'm feeling better. Like I don't need a sleep aid. Start with that, yeah. I don't even need a sleep aid. See if you can sleep on your own. I gotten so used to a sleep aid slice that I was like having to take some sort of sleep aid all the time. You were kind of you felt like you were kind of like relying on it. Yeah, the gas the the nerve pain was so bad. Anyway, the nerve pain is is down to on a scale of on a scale of pain, on a scale of let's call it a scale of discomfort. Okay. My elbow and arm is at a one, and that's not even a pain, that's a discomfort scale. Okay, right? So it's pretty good. One or two during the day. That's good, yeah. And even at night, one or two. And so I'm I'm almost better. Anyway, I'm just bet, it's just it's a new normal. I'm like, I'm a little sore still all the time. I'm like moving slow. I don't know. I'm just like, everything feels like a new, like it's like I've gone through a wormhole. I feel like I've gone through some kind of wormhole slice.

SPEAKER_03 5:27

Some kind of nervous system wormhole.

SPEAKER_12 5:29

I went through some kind of wormhole and I came out on the side where I feel older, tireder, sorer, yeah, slower, and a little bit dumber.

SPEAKER_03 5:39

I can absolutely relate to everything you just said, especially the dumber part. I can relate to that especially.

SPEAKER_12 5:44

But um, uh anyway, I'm glad to be here.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

This is gonna be fun. Right. This is a good, not a distraction, it's a good uh diversion.

SPEAKER_12 5:54

We're gonna get Italian food. Oh, I cannot.

SPEAKER_03 5:56

We're gonna get some Italian food today. I cannot wait.

SPEAKER_12 5:58

So there's this place called Papino's, but it's not, it's not a um, it's not a sit-down, it's like a counter. Okay, nice. I like that. And but I and I'd gotten pizza there when they opened, and I thought it was fine. I remember thinking it was pretty good. No frill.

SPEAKER_03 6:12

I like that, no frills.

SPEAKER_12 6:13

But then I noticed when I looked today, they have lasagna, bakziti, they have, they have stuffed shells, they have tier, they say the tiramisu is really good. Classic. So I'm thinking, oh, I saw a picture of a chicken parm sub. I'm thinking maybe I should branch out and get some Italian food. Chicken Parm sub the best.

SPEAKER_03 6:34

Is it? Well, I don't know. I mean, I personally I prefer eggplant parm. Oh, they got that too? But I feel like chicken parm is a very close second. Like that's that's almost as good as eggplant.

SPEAKER_07 6:43

Are you thinking about getting an eggplant parm?

SPEAKER_03 6:45

Kind of, yeah. Yeah. I might get the chicken parm, we could split them. There we go. Now we're talking about it. That might be that might be interesting. That's the best of both worlds right there.

SPEAKER_12 6:52

Well, we um so the Caroline mentioned when I was telling her she asked where we were going, and I said, Well, we might go to Papinos, and she said, Oh, there's a I said, but they don't have a place to eat. Yeah. And she said, Oh, there's a park right behind there. Oh, she told me the name of the park, and now I forgot. Okay. But it's in the neighborhood right behind Papino's, and she said, nobody's ever at that park. We'll have it to ourselves.

SPEAKER_09 7:14

We'll have a park to ourselves. Great. So that's the that's the plan.

SPEAKER_11 7:19

That's the plan. What about you? What's your health check like? Uh your by 85%. Yeah, I mean, that's I feel like that's my standard.

SPEAKER_03 7:25

Yeah, I'm doing all right. Um actually I'm really proud of myself. I went out last night. I mean, I was still home by 10, so I didn't really go out very late. But for me, that's you know, that's quite a feat. Yeah, for sure. To stay up till 10 p.m. on a work night.

SPEAKER_12 7:39

Yeah, because remember that time we went camping. Famously. And we hiked way out to the campsite, and I was so excited that we'd be hanging out. And at 7 45, you went to bed, and I was sitting by the fire with people I didn't want to be hanging out with.

SPEAKER_03 7:51

Right, yeah. Uh, I do remember that. And usually that is when I go to bed. But uh last night I made an exception, and I was glad that I did because I saw an amazing band at Hartwood last night.

SPEAKER_11 8:02

Oh. And they were just Were they inside or outside? It was outside. They are really fixing that place up. They really are. They're trying to get out of here.

SPEAKER_12 8:09

I mean, they are putting some money into that place. Yeah. You see the size of those trees they planted and those planters they built. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 8:16

Uh I went there yesterday. Yeah, they are they are making it look uh they're improving it.

SPEAKER_12 8:21

They got some money from the city. They sure did. And from the county, too. I think that I think that $45,000 they just got from the city, I can see where it went. Right, they're putting it to good use. If you call planters and trees good use, which are so it's ambiance. What's the band? What's the band?

SPEAKER_03 8:38

Okay, the name of the band is called Mountain Grass Unit. Why didn't you tell me? Uh I should have. That was I was remiss in my responsibilities. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 8:46

You didn't tell me. Show me back, though.

SPEAKER_03 8:48

Oh, we're friends. But the next one. Are we Facebook friends? Uh probably.

SPEAKER_12 8:52

I haven't been on Facebook in years, but but yeah, um Mountain Goat, um no, not that's a different mountain goats.

SPEAKER_03 9:01

That's a different band. I'm talking about Mountain Grass. Mountain Grass. Mountain Grass Unit. Unit. They are a bluegrass band. They are these young whippersnappers. They're probably like 19 years old, maybe 20. Like they're in their early 20s. They are young whippersnappers from Alabama, and they were just phenomenal. Like the guitar player was one of absolutely one of the best guitar players I've seen in my entire life. And how and he's probably like 21 years old. He's amazing.

SPEAKER_12 9:30

So this the the the word is spreading in the bluegrass community, and that's how you knew?

SPEAKER_03 9:35

Well, I knew it because uh Ashley from work was telling me she's she's she's you know, she's super into like Billy Strings and these things. So she uh the last time this band came to Hartwood was like a year ago. She went and she saw them and fell in love with them. She told you. She had an extratition. But Mark Archer didn't tell you? Mark well, it's funny, it was the first person I saw when I walked up, Mark Archer.

SPEAKER_08 9:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:55

But he wasn't there. He was uh you know how people do that at Hartwood? They don't actually go in, they just stand outside the fence, you know?

SPEAKER_11 10:01

Oh.

SPEAKER_03 10:01

So that's what that's what he was doing.

SPEAKER_12 10:03

Because you can still hear just fine. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:05

Well, how many people are outside the areas? Uh kind of a lot. But it's those, but there's those restaurants and the brewery right there. So it's like they're just there, you know. And and and how much was the ticket? It was like 20 bucks. Uh-huh. Or if you waited, that was or if you bought it early, it was 20. If you waited until the day of the show, it was like 30.

SPEAKER_12 10:23

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 10:23

But it but absolutely well worth the money, in my opinion. These guys were just spectacular.

SPEAKER_12 10:27

I would really like to see something good at artwood. I've never seen anything good at artwork. Well, if something comes on your radar, just give me a little because I'm sitting at home doing nothing. I mean, I should be at work. You should be. That is true. I should be at work. Sometimes I'm not.

SPEAKER_03 10:41

I'm looking for a bluegrass pan. All right. Well, next time I'm definitely gonna let you know. But yeah, Mountain Grass Unit, they just they absolutely killed it. They were amazing. I think I just drank some wine last night.

SPEAKER_12 10:55

Maybe that's why I don't feel great today. I think I just drank two. I don't, I don't think. I did. I drank three glasses last one.

SPEAKER_03 11:02

What kind of red wine or white wine? Red wine. Red wine. Red red red, red wine. Yeah. Yeah. I was I was uh but anyway.

SPEAKER_12 11:10

Well that's good. I'm glad you got to see a good band.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

Yeah, yeah, they were amazing. And you got a free ticket, it sounds like yeah. Well, I tried to pay her for it, but I feel she's she was. Why didn't she go with her van? No, he was there, but she bought uh a ticket for her brother and he didn't want to go. So she said, Hey, I just got this extra ticket, I'll give it to you.

SPEAKER_12 11:28

Well, the there's a band coming up. I don't know. I would I I don't know if it's at the amphitheater or if it's Pontavidra. I would guess it's at Ponta Vidra, but I just don't know. But it's I bought tickets because I knew Caroline had I'd heard of this band. Okay. Alabama Shakespeare. Oh, yeah, they're legendary. Yeah. Are they?

SPEAKER_03 11:46

So you think they'll be at the amphitheater? That's probably an amphitheater show, yeah. I mean, I'm not 100% sure, but I know they have played at the amphitheater in the past. That's coming up in two beats. Yeah, that woman, uh Brittany Howard, that's her band. Okay. I don't know if she's still in the band, though. I think she might have went solo. I don't know. I'm not really up to date on that.

SPEAKER_12 12:02

Well, this is our section called Band Talk.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

And yeah, you don't think she's in the band anymore, huh? Well, I maybe I think she I thought she went solo, but maybe she's die. I don't know. You'll find out when you go. That'll be a great show, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 12:14

Okay. Those guys are great. Won't probably be as good as Mountain Grass, Unit.

SPEAKER_03 12:19

Well, they'll be back. We'll go next time. They'll be back.

SPEAKER_12 12:22

All right. Yeah. There was another band you were telling us to go see that you mentioned, and it was probably already passed.

Those guys, honestly, those guys are just like incredible. I mean, that for me, for country music, that's like you cannot beat them. They are the absolute best.

SPEAKER_12 12:56

We'll have to put them, I'll have to pull pull them up on my Spotify.

SPEAKER_03 12:58

Check it out. They're super country and they're super good. Like they've managed to like play like 90s style country, but in a way that's like I don't even know how to describe it. It's sophisticated. It's a it's like sophisticated 90s country style, but in like a in like a modern packaging or something like that. But they're they're just incredible.

SPEAKER_12 13:21

Isn't that guy wasn't that guy named Graham Parker? No, not Graham Parker. There's that bluegrass guy that's that he's kind I don't know. I don't know these people's names. My fan statement. He's kind of modern, but he sounds old country, but he's modern guy. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 13:37

Right? And everybody likes him and goes to see it. Yeah. He's a country guy. Right. But he sounds like he's old country, but he's a new country. Who's the new country guy that sounds like an old country guy? I don't know.

I find that the smell of that, like um, like what you're talking about to be kind of satisfying.

SPEAKER_06 19:00

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 19:01

Like the smell of like oiled leather, tanned, tanned hides and oiled leather. I don't know. Something like that. I like it for some reason. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 19:10

Yeah, well, it's human nature probably like um have olfactory sense sensibilities. Right. That's right.

SPEAKER_08 19:16

Is that does that make sense? Is that sense? Yeah, that absolutely makes sense.

SPEAKER_12 19:21

Um, so we're we're we're almost to this Papinos, because we were going Papinos. You didn't even know what Papinos was. Yeah. I circled. But you heard of Scuola's. Not Scuola's. Scuola's is the Greek place. It's Greek and Italian. All right. And but the Greek people own it. But the tie, but the pizza's really good. I haven't, I've only had the pizza. Okay. But it's got a nice environment, nice dining room. Right. So I was thinking of Scuolas when I said let's go to Papinos, and then you didn't know where Papinos was. I was like, well, you know, I'm in Scuola's. And you're like, You don't know what's cool. It doesn't matter. Peppinos is right, is right here. Oh, I see it, yeah. And so I was like, well, maybe we let's try some of this Italian food over here at Papinos. Let's go. Chicken Parm, let's go. And there, and that's the um the neighborhood where you can go find uh right.

SPEAKER_03 20:11

Oh, yeah, but I don't think it was his birthday party. Somebody else had a birthday. I went to that park though. I remember going to I think it was paintball. I think they were doing paintball. Paintball. Can you do paintball in a park? I feel like you can.

SPEAKER_09 20:38

SPEAKER_12 20:47

Looks like their uh bunch of tables are uh occupied occupied, but we we have a little plan. We're going because we're going to a park. We know about the secret park that evidently nobody else is. You think there's gonna be birds at the park, like doing like you think? I bet it's gonna be a birder's paradise. Alright, let's go in here and order some food. Oh maybe this food will make me feel better. I am a little extra sore today. Well, you're 85%. I'm 85 years old. That's we gotta get a picture of that, bro. Of the bumper sticker. Yeah, on that, on that. Well, maybe get Papinos in the back.

SPEAKER_03 21:38

Well, I think uh I think it's funny that you because the I no no one listening to the podcast might understand that, but about how ubiquitous your bumper stickers are. I think it's funny because like you literally see how many per day. 500 a day. Well, like that's that's how ubiquitous are five hundred.

SPEAKER_12 21:54

Yeah, five hundred's a little bit of an exaggeration today. But it's just funny that you're Oh yeah, that we no wait well what happened just then is we've we've pulled up the Papinas and there's a motorcycle with a bumper sticker. It's a statio mouth. We got a picture. Where's the menu? Oh all right. Thanks for let's let's sit down and right here. We're gonna talk about the menu. We're gonna study this menu.

Wait, they got wings. I mean, you want some more place to have all that stuff. They uh you want to add fries and a can of soda? Yes. All right. You want anything else? Is that it?

Yes. Yeah, we're gonna share it, right? Okay. Yes.

SPEAKER_07 24:30

Okay, twenty. Wanna be around.

SPEAKER_03 24:39

So uh I like the uh I like the vibe in there. It's like no frills, just like a counter, you know? Yeah. And they and you could like I like it when you can see into the kitchen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love that. I love that.

SPEAKER_12 24:50

I love being able to observe the kitchen. My first restaurant, it was an open kitchen. Yeah, and the dining, but it was a it had a dining room, but owned by eight tables. Yeah, yeah. But I do like an open. I wanted, I really wanted to do an open kitchen this time, but the the place that came up, the building we're in, they just didn't have an open kitchen. But if it did, I would have been I would have been all for it. Yeah, because it it gets it it's like instant vibes, yeah, you know, because there's stuff happening. Yeah, you know, instant vibes, food is being prepared, right, and right in front of your eyes. Yeah, yeah, it's like the bear.

SPEAKER_03 25:22

Yeah, sort of. Uh yeah. So uh let's see what else. Oh, what about um we never did our restaurant review? We didn't. Maybe we should do that now since we're already talking about restaurant reviews.

SPEAKER_12 25:34

And and the thing is, and we always start with the mailbag. Right. And so just so that our listeners know, we're still this is still the introduction. Yeah, this this is after the introduction. After mailbag. And after the um band band talk and health health check. Right. And um restaurant review. Well, no, there we did one more thing. We did and we we did uh didn't we? Didn't we? Health check band talk. Oh run the errands, go to the uh shoe repair. Shoe repair. Yeah. But then and then we do the restaurant review, and then that's the end of the introduction. All the introduction. Yeah. And then we do the mail, because we always do the mail first. First, after the introduction. Um so yeah, go ahead. What do you got? The Dunbar.

SPEAKER_03 26:22

It's a new restaurant in town. New restaurant. It's uh there's a lot of buzz about it because it's the new place.

SPEAKER_12 26:28

Buzz. You have to make reservations. It seems like a couple weeks in advance, maybe at this point, because it's so new.

SPEAKER_03 26:34

Well, I got lucky. Like I I remember when I made the reservation, I made it on Monday for Thursday. So I just I was I just happened to get lucky, I guess. But I think they just added a couple of tables outside. Well, now that you can that you don't need a reservation, you can walk up.

SPEAKER_12 26:47

So now they got that the patio, walk-up patio. Right. You can sit on the patio, you don't have to get reservation. Which is great. I would that would I mean it was what what did you think? It was spectacular, it was incredible. And what was your experience?

SPEAKER_03 27:02

I mean, start to finish. What's I mean the the first thing you notice is the uh the atmosphere, the ambiance is just like next level. Yeah. I mean, that like it's in that super historic uh building, which uh they say used to be a a hotel.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:18

And I heard, I don't know if this is true or not, I heard that they're actually gonna convert some of the rooms upstairs into like an inn, like rooms you could stay in. Oh, that's neat. Yeah, and I don't think they've actually like done it yet, but that's what that would be super cool if they could do that.

SPEAKER_12 27:31

Yeah. And so you you you um if you were describing you you're you're walking in to somebody who's listening to this. Right, how would you describe it? I would just say it has kind of like a um politics.

SPEAKER_03 27:46

Not not like a mid-century modern kind of a vibe, but like maybe like a 70s type of a vibe. Would you like the furniture? I don't know. Is it not like cheesy 70s, like it in a cartoonish sense, but in like a tasteful sense? I would say it's kind of 70s.

SPEAKER_12 28:02

Okay. Well, my experience was we um we had a party of six. Okay, and so we go into an old house, built built, probably built like in the early 1900s. I was imagining. Definitely, yeah. Um, and we are led into a room all our own. Oh, nice. So we have our own room because we're a six-top. That's where they have the six tops. And and and it's the walls are dark, dark brown. Yeah, totally. It has this feeling of like think like smell of oiled leather. Right, right. That's probably why I liked it so much. It has that real, like it was dark. Oh, the doorways are rounded. Yeah. So it's different rooms, right? And each room has like the rounded doorway, like a hallway down the middle. Yeah. Right. So you go down a hallway, so it feels like less like a restaurant, more like a house. Right. That's what I was gonna say.

SPEAKER_03 28:47

Because like when where we sat, the room where we sat, like on the right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. On the right, there's like a sofa. There's a sofa you sit on. Okay. And I love that. Did you sit on sofa? No, Sarah sat on it. Oh, but I love that that the seat of the table was a sofa was a sofa. I love that.

SPEAKER_12 29:01

Um so I like the it has really pretty colors and um that we were in a room next to the kitchen. Okay. So it was a half door at the bottom and a and a curtain at the top. Okay. So every time they came out, they had to swing the door and then get around the curtain with their food and stuff. But you could see in the kitchen now and then a little bit, and it was um you know, it was pretty smoky in there, and it was it was b it was cool because we because they we we saw every food, all the food going by. Right, yeah. It's good to kind of like look at that and kind of get an idea of what everything looks like. So it was a real neat atmosphere, and we don't have places like that. Like the thing is when you go to you go to like Savannah or you go to like Atlanta. There's a lot of places. You're gonna have these old places and this really good restaurant. Right. The thing is, you can have a good restaurant. Like, you know who has better restaurants in Gainesville? St. Augustine. Yeah. Because it's tourists, yeah, right. Yeah. You want to go to Savannah, you're gonna get good food. Right. You're gonna go to Asheville, you're gonna get good food. These are tourist parts. Gainesville is not tourist. Gainesville's student. Yeah, because of that, we don't get that restaurant, kind of restaurant. Right.

SPEAKER_03 30:07

That's why it's such a gem because it's unlike any other restaurant we have.

SPEAKER_12 30:11

Like and yeah, it's uh so that's makes it unique. And then I thought the food was outstanding. Oh my gosh. Caesar salad. Incredible. Yeah, I didn't think the Caesar salad had enough, it didn't have any anchovy hit at all.

SPEAKER_03 30:27

That's funny because I thought it totally did. You did? I thought I absolutely tasted the anchovies. I did not taste the anchovies. I wonder, maybe that's just like a weird anomaly where like a different person made the dressing that day or something.

SPEAKER_12 30:39

Well, uh the uh play on salad. They're Brianna, who's Caroline's friend who was in town, uh-huh, she got the Caesar salad. Yeah. And uh she loves, she was like, Oh, I love a Caesar salad. If the Caesar salad is good, and she was just and then we talked about it before we went, you know, like you want to have kind of a good like anchovy hit on it, you know. That's kind of the whole point. Yeah, and um she and she agreed, like I just tasted hers. Yeah, so I didn't get a whole bunch of the whole salad. But she agreed that it could have been the dressing, but the but the lettuce and the cheese was nice. I love the croutons. I actually got those on the side so I could try the croutons on mine. They were crumbled, yeah. They're like more like bread crumbs, yeah. Bread crumbs, yeah, yeah. And the cheese was good, and the lettuce was cut just right. Yeah, it was dressed properly, yeah. It was the right amount of dressing. Right. I just thought it needed a little more anchor. More anchovy, sure. I didn't taste the anchovy at all. Um, and then and then what else did you like? I got them pork chopped. Yep, we got that. I thought the pork chop was had it came with a bunch of uh butter beans on the plate. I love those butter beans. Butter beans.

SPEAKER_06 31:43

I love those butter beans.

SPEAKER_12 31:45

Pork chop, what did you think of it? Amazing. I might I had to add salt. I thought it was gonna needed a little more salt online. Yeah, it didn't have the salt quite like the salt gave it the bra that brought out the pork flavor better for me. Seemed like it wasn't salty. It was cooked nicely, yeah, had a nice texture and all that for sure. And then it was big and then butter beans, yeah. Macaroni and cheese, incredible. Unbelievable. Next level. One of the best mac and cheese I've ever had. So good. I don't know what made it so good.

SPEAKER_03 32:14

Yeah, I know. I want to be able to replicate that at home, but they they just absolutely nailed that mac and cheese. Um what about dessert? Did you get dessert? Well, we're I'm not done with dinner. That's true. I we haven't talked about everything we ordered. Um the cabbage. Okay, we miso cabbage. We almost got the best thing I had, but we decided not to. That looked amazing.

SPEAKER_12 32:34

Best thing I had. Um it was kind of the thing where my mom got the cabbage and I got the pork chop and we split it. There you go. Right? And now we've got some guy with the chain chicken here. We're sitting, we're sitting in the in the in the table out front that the people left and we'll wait. Oh, we should check back. You think we should check back? You're not coming out here. Has it been 20 minutes? I mean, I don't want my food to be a code, you can stay there. Um talk about your um food before.

SPEAKER_03 33:10

All right, so a dumbar, right? Yeah, so we got um for appetizer, we got this uh ricotta toast. It was on this incredible bread. Like, I don't know, this uh this bread was like totally heavenly, and um it had some homemade ricotta on it and some prosciutto on top of that. It was just totally spectacular. Um let's see, what else did we get? What else did we get? We got that mac and cheese, and then yeah, the for dessert, we had the cornbread pudding comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and it was just like completely spectacular. Just amazing. Um yeah, I I don't know like how frequently I'm gonna go back to this place because it's kind of pricey, but uh it was just incredible. Absolutely the best restaurant in Gainesville. It was amazing.

SPEAKER_12 33:58

I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_03 34:00

All right, it's my time to shine.

SPEAKER_12 34:01

So yeah, I guess I I got sorry, what did you say?

SPEAKER_03 34:04

No, I got nothing. I I got nothing. You got nothing? Well, I finished talking about what we ordered at the dumb bar.

SPEAKER_12 34:09

Well, I went in there and he was making calzones and I just raised mesmally. Because we make our calzones where you you build up half and then you just fold it over. Of course. And he puts his in the middle and then folds it over. Folds both sides over? So the food is in the middle of the dough, and then he picks up and he kind of rolls that food over.

SPEAKER_07 34:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_12 34:33

But you get a lot more bread.

SPEAKER_03 34:35

Yeah. Because there's there's all the bread on it. Right, so it's instead of being a lot of it's a lot of bread on both sides of the filling, is what you're saying.

SPEAKER_12 34:44

Yeah, but it looks delicious. He put a good amount of stuff in there. Like I was like, okay, that's like the same amount we put in a calzone. It's like it's very well filled.

SPEAKER_03 34:52

Yeah. I need to on my calzone. Uh I need to work on making the edges pretty.

SPEAKER_12 34:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:58

I like how you do that with like you push it out with your thumb or whatever.

SPEAKER_12 35:00

Like this is the best thing.

SPEAKER_03 35:01

Yeah, right. You like kind of crimp it. I gotta I gotta work on that. I my calzone edge is ugly, it tastes good.

SPEAKER_12 35:07

Well, you need to work on that. Yeah. Maybe, maybe you need to watch the video on YouTube. I've watched it. I watched it a couple times, actually. That's how I learned how to do it. Brianna got like a fish. And it was like rice of some kind of like black rice of some kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. I remember seeing that on the banana. I don't eat fish famously. You don't like fish. So I um I didn't try that, but she said it was good. And then I got potatoes, roasted potatoes. Oh, oh, yeah, we got that too. Yeah, yeah. They were delicious. Yeah, I loved them. Yeah, so good. Um, I got uh, and then and then Kata's boyfriend, Randy, got um the uh the short rib. Short rib. I knew it. I knew it. And I I didn't even get I I didn't even get a chance to taste it.

SPEAKER_03 35:52

It was gone within like 30 seconds, it was gone. I bet that's the star of the show. I bet it is. Next time I already I already made up my mind. Next time I go, I'm gonna do the short rib.

unknown 35:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 36:00

And then and then what else? And then uh Caroline got the pork chop as well. Yeah. So and then we got um both both desserts. I love that they had two. Yeah, yeah. I got I didn't get both.

SPEAKER_03 36:11

We got the cornbread pudding.

SPEAKER_12 36:12

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 36:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 36:13

I I I'm not a big fan of cornbread pudding. It was fine.

SPEAKER_03 36:18

But it's like, but but I don't when I picture bread pudding, that's not what I yeah. I feel like it's kind of like confusing to call it cornbread pudding because it's not I feel like it's not pudding. Yeah. I feel like it's just a piece of like amazing cornbread with like a little bit of a sweet topping on it. Yeah, like it's not really like a pudding, it's a little misleading, but like, yeah, but it was still spectacular. I love it.

SPEAKER_00 36:37

Well, the other one was um I can't even remember what the other one was, but I liked it more. But it wasn't what was it? I can't remember either.

SPEAKER_12 36:46

It's not jumping out because I I thought that, you know, hey, when we open, I didn't have any desserts. No desserts, yeah. Because you're just trying to get your food going. Yeah, you know? And then eventually you're oh let's do a dessert. You know, we just did brownies. Yeah. Now we have a shit ton of desserts. But like it takes time, you know. Like I bet that they're I mean, having two good desserts is a good start. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 37:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 37:09

I mean, two, if if they're both amazing, two is enough. And they're not both amazing, but two is enough. It was I mean, I've got one of each and I was and I left them like I didn't, they didn't get finished. Yeah. So they were fine. Yeah. But they uh, you know, you're not like everybody's not fighting over with everybody at the table wasn't fighting over, let's put it that way. But I I can forgive them that because the atmosphere is so good. It's a new restaurant. I love the small menu. Yeah. I mean, that we just named everything on the menu between what we just everything I have. Yeah. Love the small menu. And I just love that we have a place like that now. Yeah. But I mean, it's you can drop some coin. Well, that's what I was talking about when you were in there. It was uh did you say how much it was? No. Let's talk about it.

SPEAKER_03 37:57

Let's talk about it. Okay, so we it was me and Sarah.

SPEAKER_01 38:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:00

And we um we did get some cocktail, you know, we got like two fancy cocktails. We got two cocktails at our table. And she got a beer. So I think we got like three drinks, right? Two cocktails and a beer.

SPEAKER_07 38:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 38:10

And then all this food, a couple of appetizers, entrees.

SPEAKER_07 38:14

Yeah, yeah. Dessert.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

And you went out to dinner. Went out to dinner. And I think for the two of us it was like 150. And that included with the tip included. Yeah. Like 150, 160, uh, including tip.

SPEAKER_12 38:26

Yeah. But the best 150 I ever spent. There were six of us, and it was 375. Yeah. That sounds about right for six people, yeah. Yeah. But um well worth it. Well worth it. But special occasions. It was Easter. Special occasion. It was frickin' Easter, and Caroline wasn't gonna cook. Of course not, and my sister was out of town. Yeah, special occasions. And so it was a chance to take my mom out to not have to cook and clean up. Yeah, you know? Yeah. Um, all right, I really need to go back and look at this food again. I'll go, I'll go check. Because I'm hungry. And we gotta start the podcast, but we can't start. This is still the introduction. We can't start the podcast until we are have some food in this. All right, Friday.

SPEAKER_03 39:10

Um this is just uh extra long introduction. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 39:17

Um, uh two subs and fries.

SPEAKER_06 39:25

No problem.

SPEAKER_12 39:26

We don't no, we're not in a hurry. I just don't want it to get cold.

SPEAKER_06 39:28

Oh no.

SPEAKER_12 39:31

Okay, let's go back out here. It's kind of loud in there. It's got a different uh noise, noise level. Yeah, it's way quieter out here. Um if they're not running chainsaws. So uh yeah, we're we're we're uh waiting for our food still. Should we do the mailbag? We should. All right, let me go. Uh is your car unlocked? Yes, always the keys are in it too if you need to go somewhere. Um kind of uh always less I I'm not a guy who carries keys. I don't like to carry keys. So uh key our house is open and I have a hidden key on each door if I need to get in. Um my car keys are always in the car, usually in the ignition, sometimes uh on the dash. And uh where what other keys? The restaurant keys. I I mean I have them in the car. I have uh some keys if I need to go to the restaurant, but the restaurant's always open usually when I go there. Somebody's there all the time. So that's my key situation. If you want to know where all my keys are, I just told everybody. They could come take your Honda element out for a joyride. So uh let me all right, let's see. We gotta let's let's do our mailbag. Mailback. This is where we always start with the mailbag. Yeah. So um, you know what? I think first of all, I think we have a lot of new listeners. And I always think it's nice when we when we welcome the new listeners. Let's start let's start by welcoming the new listeners. Because they're probably like, this isn't a very good podcast. Like, okay, let's say there's a new listener. Let's say there's a new listener and they've made it this far. Let's say there's one new listener that's made it this far as first time listening. Yeah. They're usually better than this, right? So, first of all, they're usually a lot better. Second of all, take our word for it. Welcome to new listeners. Because I mean, we we are glad you're you're listening. So glad. So there's a lot to learn. There's a lot to learn here in how we do things. It's very cutting edge. Right. Um, and we don't, we're a couple guys, and we uh because we this start introduction. We're a couple guys, and we and uh we're on season eight of our podcast. Season eight is No Rules Just Right. We every every week we just decide are we gonna sit on the couch, hang out, are we gonna go somewhere, are we gonna make something? What are we gonna do? Right. And um so that that's where is so welcome and uh this season eight, I guess. Oh, and and then and then and we also do a lot of listener mail, like a lot of our podcast is about the listeners, right, because it is a podcast for people for people. So um we there's a lot of mail, and so that's why we always have to start with the mail, because we never know how long it's gonna take. Right. And then the mailbag this week in particular is very deep. We got a deep mailbag this week. Wow. Well, I can say we started with a real postcard, which is always very exciting. Right. We love Canyon Lands National Park. And who is this postcard from?

SPEAKER_03 42:29

Now it's it's it's a postcard of a national park, so I know who it's from before even reading the back. Because you remember we got a lot of other national park postcards from Grummy. From Grummy, so it's got to be from Grummy.

SPEAKER_12 42:41

And she's she had all the national park ones, but she's not. I wonder if she's gonna say if she's been here before. I bet she has. Canyon Lands? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's really pretty. Yeah. We'll take a picture for our Instagram, which is um number one podcast for people on Instagram. At Instagram.com. And there's a lot of good stuff there. I mean, a real insider. Yeah, great, great content. Um, and on the on and so on the back it says, uh, hello Pod Peeps. Uh my last postcard made the trip to Florida successfully, so I am sending another. Nice. This card is from the southern portion of Canyon Lands, which is a geologically magical place. More specifically, it's geom uh. I knew I should have had you read this one. It's geomorphological paradise. It's a geomorphological paradise. The rock is just sandstone, but the landforms are cool. Haven't been there for years. Not sure I can still hike that far. Grummy. So she has been there, as you as you correctly uh postulated. Yep. So it says Canyonlands, um the cedar gosh, my vision is really getting bad. The cedar mass sandstone spires of the Needles district surround Chester. Vision, man. Wow. Well, you don't have your glasses on. Let me try to see if I can mark what these are. These are actually um Desert Prescription. Yeah, but it's hard. No, I can't read it at all. Just read it. All right. What is it saying? Canyonlands National Park.

SPEAKER_03 44:13

Uh Chaiser Park, Canyonlands Park, Utah. The Cedar Mesa sandstone spires of the Needles District surround Chesler Park, a popular hiking destination. The red and white banding was caused by deposits of reddish sediment from a nearby iron-rich uplift, alternating with lighter colored beach sands from ancient seas. Both native and exotic grasses give this open area a park-like setting. Yeah, absolutely. A geomorphological paradise.

SPEAKER_12 44:45

Dude, native, um what do they say? Native and exotic grasses.

SPEAKER_03 44:52

Right. Exotic grasses. Is that like a nice way of saying invasive? It's like it's not an invasive species, it's an exotic species. You're probably right. They don't like highly invasive.

SPEAKER_12 45:04

I am so into grass. You're into grasses. Like I've got this one whole section of my yard that I'm just gonna do just tons of grasses.

SPEAKER_03 45:10

Yeah, you know?

SPEAKER_12 45:11

What kind of grass though? Is it gonna be fung grass or is it gonna be just like the standard? Well, I like wispy grasses. Yeah. Right? And with it, and there's a lot of them in Florida, the native ones that'll set up a stalk. Yeah, right? And it'll have like a little bloom of some kind. Right.

SPEAKER_03 45:26

A flower, but more like a fuzziness. Right, like a not a thistle, but kind of like that. Yeah. Yeah. What is a thistle? Yeah, that's that's it kind of sounds like what you're describing. A thistle is like it's like not a flower, but it's kind of like a big sea pod or something.

SPEAKER_12 45:40

Yeah, I don't know, but I'm gonna get some grasses, man. I would I love me some native grasses. That's your thing. Native grasses. Into grasses a lot, more than people think. It's kind of like you're in the session with uh iceberg lettuce. That's right. All right, so thank you for the postcard. That was very nice. I actually would love to go there. Canyonlands. Right. Yeah. I would love to go there.

SPEAKER_03 46:03

It looks so magical. I don't think I've been there. Maybe I did go. I don't think I went. Why don't we go there? I've been to the other parks in Utah, but I don't maybe I did go to Canyonlands once a long time ago. I can't remember. What is this priority mail? This one I'm especially excited about. What is this? This is the first time this podcast has received priority mail. Oh. Wow. I mean, I can't think of it. I mean we got fan mail one time. Right, but it wasn't like you know, return receipt uh requested priority mail, U.S. Postal Service. This is like this the they put some coin down. I know. They put 1030. That makes me feel special that uh Eleanor. Eleanor that Eleanor shelled out that's a babcot to make sense. What do you think it is? I don't know. It's I think it's a postcard.

SPEAKER_12 46:44

Oh, oh, but they put it in a priority. But you think they put a put postcard in a $10 postcard. Do you think it's a $10 postcard? I think I think uh uh for a joke, yeah. She did that.

SPEAKER_11 46:55

That would be a really good joke. Let's see.

SPEAKER_03 46:57

I'm gonna open it. I can't wait. I can't wait one more minute. I gotta open this. I just can't wait to eat that freaking chicken farm sub, man. They ever get done making it. This is so exciting. I'm tearing open the priority. Did you photograph it? No. Okay. I'll photograph it after I tear it open. And what's inside? But a postcard. I feel like you cheated. It's a postcard. And it comes with a little note.

SPEAKER_01 47:23

Oh. Look at this. It's a buggy.

SPEAKER_03 47:27

Right. See, that's why I knew it was going to be a joke because she was saying if I send it the regular way, they're going to lose it. I gotta like, I gotta send it priority express. Oh my gosh. Okay. Uh Eleanor says, here's the postcard I promised. It's kind of a silly postcard since there's no space to write anything. That's true. That is true. So what do you like? What's this stupid? So you just send someone a postcard from Bucky's and that's it. Like it's Bucky's. That's that's all you say.

SPEAKER_12 47:54

It ends up it at that point, it just looks like um junk mail. Right. Right?

SPEAKER_03 48:00

You get this in the mail and it just like, oh, Bucky sent me this. I mean, I guess you could say like you could put your little bit of space to write from who it's from.

SPEAKER_12 48:08

You can't say much. Well, no, because you need to write the address there. They've got the the price tag built into the postcard.

SPEAKER_03 48:14

I like how it says retail. Like, yeah, what else is it? Like, of course it's retail. That's what that is.

SPEAKER_01 48:19

Like oh my gosh. So so Bucky's.

SPEAKER_12 48:23

Do you think that like she wrote on one of these postcards, number one podcast, you sent it off and it didn't make it here. And that what happened?

SPEAKER_03 48:29

Maybe because the postal service couldn't tell what was the address and what was her note. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Because there's no place to write the note.

SPEAKER_12 48:37

Right.

SPEAKER_03 48:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 48:38

And so if you tried to write a note on there and send that, they would probably just and it looks like junk mail.

SPEAKER_03 48:43

Now, this is disturbing to me because postcards have been around for longer than Bucky's. So why how did Bucky's miss the memo? How does Bucky's not know how to make a postcard? Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 48:56

Right. Because you could do you could do whatever you want on the front, and then you at the top you write a little description. Whatever. That's all you gotta say. And then it's a normal postcard.

SPEAKER_03 49:09

Oh my gosh. I don't how did Buckeys not get it? I need to take this up with Bucky's because they they don't understand what a postcard is. They just don't understand what a postcard is.

SPEAKER_12 49:17

Can we actually do that as part of our podcast? Is like craft a craft a letter to Bucky's. Right.

SPEAKER_03 49:25

Like an open letter to Bucky's? Open letter to Bucky's. Right. Get your Buckies, get your postcard game together because you don't know what you're doing. You don't know what you're doing.

SPEAKER_12 49:36

I think this is something to get behind. Yeah. I gotta check on this food, man. I'm gonna, I mean, my fries are gonna be soggy. No problem. She's giving me a really funny look. Like well, first of all, there's a ton of food behind her. Like she's helping somebody, and then she turns around and I'm like, yeah, my food's probably sitting right there with all that other food. And then she looked really confused. What did she say? It's gonna be 20 minutes. Yeah. I don't know. My time is what is time? What even is 20 minutes? Time doesn't exist for me anymore. I don't know what 20 minutes is. I just feel like they could have made two subs and some fries by now. Well, I I could not possibly agree more with what you just said. I am I mean I am totally fine with waiting as long as it takes. Right. As long as it's good. But when you but when it better be good, you don't want to wait all this time and then eat something that's cracked. Like you waited six months to get that leather fanny package.

SPEAKER_03 50:40

I know. It's like better be good.

SPEAKER_12 50:42

They better oil that thing down with some leather oil. Why do people sit in their cars running? Oh, because they're air conditioner? Yeah. That's what it is. It's just air conditioner. Yeah, it's too hot to sit in a dude. That drives me so crazy. Yeah. When I'm in a I'm like in a parking lot, like, or even like you know, in front of satchels. Yeah. And there's cars just running. Yeah. It's like just you're putting all this exhaust into the into my lungs.

SPEAKER_03 51:07

It's like you're blowing your exhaust right into my lungs. Like, why are we doing this? Yeah, no, okay. But with and with the price of gas this days, you would think they would want to get it.

SPEAKER_12 51:13

What the price of gas these days? Man, it's my neck is hurting. Screaming right now. I think it's screaming like jigging bumps. I was just gonna say there's only one cure for that chicken farm. I needed um so okay. Uh well, thank you for the the Bucky's. You know, this is this has been worth $10, and I'll tell you why. Yeah, okay. Because we are gonna we are gonna make an open letter to Buckys, and we're gonna we're gonna pick this part. Now, what do you think about the front of this postcard?

SPEAKER_03 51:42

I love the front of the postcard. That artwork is amazing. It's I feel like it captures the spirit of Texas. Okay. You got the guitar for Austin. So they did this part of the of the postcard right. This part's great. They the front doesn't need no notes, 10 out of 10. It's the back of the postcard that I object to. The Texas flag is on the background of the postcard. Right. They got uh oh, totally, yeah. It sure is. That's cool. Nice touch. The oil. The oil, Derek, the the cowboy boot and the hat, Stetson hat. The practice pair, yeah, of course. Yeah, barn. The armadillo. Is there any is there any more symbol more associated in Texas than the armadillon? That's what I want to know.

SPEAKER_12 52:23

Um, what about these flowers? What do you think? Is that their like state flower? The blue bonnet. Those are the blue bonnets.

SPEAKER_03 52:29

They they bloom in uh like April, like March and April. And it's it's really pretty, like uh when they're in bloom, the blue bonnets, yeah. What it tacos? Yeah, yes, tacos. Okay. Yeah, Tex Mex. All right, tacos. Tacos. That's that's the most enduring symbol of Texas. And what are these blue flowers? Blue bonnets. Oh, I thought about these flowers though, the yellow one. Oh, that's the yellow rose of Texas. Oh, the yellow rose of Texas. Yeah, that's all. There's a yellow rose of Texas. That's the only part I know. Right. So this is where they screwed up on the back of the postcard. They need to go, Bucky's needs to go back to postcard school because they don't know what they're doing, they don't know what they're doing. Now I know that a postcard is a kind of like an antiquated, you know, except for the Babcocks, no one really sends postcard anymore. But still regardless. There's no excuse. There's no excuse. They don't know.

SPEAKER_12 53:19

Bucky's doesn't know what a postcard is. Like, look at this postcard that from the National Park and how perfect that one. There's copious space to write your message.

SPEAKER_03 53:29

Because why go to the trouble if you can't send a message? I feel like Bucky's is kind of they need to just kind of like slow their roll. I feel like what they're saying is like, what you can't possibly write anything better than this picture of the Bucky's logo. Like that's you know what I mean? Like they're saying like this is the best possible thing you could send somebody.

SPEAKER_12 53:47

We don't we're not even gonna give you any room to write anything because what is oh that's like a barbecue sandwich behind Bucky? Yeah, I well, this okay. So we're so we're looking at a postcard and it's a Bucky's postcard, and and we're in the part of the postcard where you're supposed to write your message, there's a barbecue advertisement here, right? And it's a Bucky, it's you see, and a Bucky logo, right, and uh a sandwich of some kind. Yeah, like it looks like a barbecue sandwich.

SPEAKER_03 54:15

Right, but I just learned this on Instagram like two days ago. That's their signature sandwich. Okay. Brisket. All right, it's like a barbecue brisket sandwich. Uh-huh. Because this guy, there's this guy starting to do it. What a beaver nuggets. And they gotta be chicken nuggets, right? Okay. But the but he was talking about the sandwich. He went there and tried it and said it's pretty good.

SPEAKER_12 54:32

Yeah. I mean, it's it shouldn't be hard to pull off a good brisket sandwich. No, right? This is something that I've always wanted to do. Yeah. Open a place, and all I did was sell uh pulled pork sandwich. No brisket, just pulled pork.

SPEAKER_01 54:50

Or brisket.

SPEAKER_12 54:51

Either way, just like pick one, right? Right. And you just sell that sandwich and you have really good fries, you can have that sandwich, and you have Mexican Cokes or something, right? And coleslaw, please. I know you don't like it. Well, coleslaw is fine. Yeah, coleslaw is fine. Anything that can go on it barbecue sauce, coleslaw, stuff like that. But it would be nice. I think it would be nice to have like little grapes with the coleslaw. Okay. Cut in half.

SPEAKER_03 55:12

You know what? You know what? I do not object to that. I am all for that.

SPEAKER_12 55:15

Or even quartered. But um, anyway, I just think it will. If you it like, I'm not surprised that they have a good sandwich. I mean, I have to judge for myself. Yeah. But yeah. You should be able to get good meat, slice it up, and put it on bread.

SPEAKER_03 55:30

And who doesn't love that? Right, there's no way you're gonna go wrong. Now, where is the nearest Bucky's to us? Isn't there one in like St. Augustine or Jacksonville?

SPEAKER_12 55:38

I wouldn't that is not something I would have in the street.

SPEAKER_03 55:41

We gotta go to on this podcast, we gotta go to Bucky's and we're gonna try that sandwich. Okay, yeah, I like that idea. I'm gonna look it up right now. All right. Well, I've never you know what?

SPEAKER_12 55:51

I'm gonna I've never been to a Bucky's. I'm gonna go sweat the kitchen a little bit more about this food. Yeah, what's taking them so long? Well, has it been 20 minutes? I think we're like into the third hour of this podcast. Two subs and uh two fries. I might fine, fine. If it's good, I don't care how long it takes.

SPEAKER_06 56:32

Put it that way.

SPEAKER_12 56:36

Okay, cool.

unknown 56:39

All right.

SPEAKER_12 56:39

It's coming out of the oven now. Nice. I like I mean they're toasting it in the oven, which is nice. They got a they got a really nice oven in there. All right, so they got a roll of flex.

SPEAKER_03 56:47

Well, what does that mean? It's just an oven which has spinning deck, it's really nice. Oh, so you basically you set it in there and it just spins potatoes.

SPEAKER_12 56:54

And then obviously after a certain number of times it And we usually in the oven you're having to turn the pizza around, but that does it for you. It kind of just takes it, yeah. But they're like so expensive and huge.

SPEAKER_03 57:04

I'm sure just the regular one is expensive, you know. Yeah, much less the specialized one.

SPEAKER_12 57:09

It's it's you don't see them very much. No when you see them, you're like, oh, that's cool. You knew it has one. Leonardo's uh uh mill hopper has one. Oh, that that's what they cook. It's kind of an old school thing, yeah. Yeah, they cook those pans in there. Cool, yeah. And they had one at 706, which is where I saw my phone. But it's not a conveyor belt, it's a spins around. No, it's a stone. It's three stones. Okay. Three decks. Okay, cool. And you put it in on one side and it's and it spins, uh-huh. And then you pick it up on the other side. Okay. You have two windows. You can use the same window. Cool. Um but it's nice because you can have different, you just have different decks and they're cooking at different speeds, and uh you have to just, you know, cook by eye when they look ready. So there we go, there we go. All right. Hey, thank you.

SPEAKER_06 57:55

Any napkins for utensils?

SPEAKER_12 57:57

All that stuff. And uh what you get two cokes.

SPEAKER_06 58:05

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 58:11

Thank you.

SPEAKER_12 58:27

Okay. Sure, thank you. Thank you. Can I get a can I get a excuse me, sorry, can I get a couple more napkins? That's gonna be there. You go, perfect. All right, I got napkins, forks, Parmesan. We're gonna we're gonna go somewhere else. That's right, yeah. We're gonna go being I totally forgot about the park. We're going to a parking lot. I was I was just like, I don't want to go be around some trees, man. That's that's it's parking about bot is not familiar. We went to the secret part. I don't think it's a secret. I just think nobody ever goes to the parks anymore. It's kind of a it's kind of a buy gun.

SPEAKER_07 59:11

Those prize look pretty good. Yeah, they're they're good. All right, let's go.

SPEAKER_12 59:21

I mean, a a sub should be able to make you know, five or ten-minute trip somewhere. You you follow me? I mean, I think that's the the best test you can do of a sub is, I mean, sure, that you're gonna get a better sub if you eat it right when it comes it out of the bag, but it should be able to travel for like five or ten minutes, right? It's a sub, right? Just like pizza. You know, it's better if you eat it straight away, but it's supposed to travel. That's right. Absolutely right. I mean, I would say I wouldn't really want to go much over ten minutes. Well, lucky for us, we're only going just next door here, so except there is the one problem that I don't really she said just go to the back of the neighborhood. She said, just in the back of the neighborhood, just go to the back of the neighborhood. I'm like, okay. We'll find it. I think we will.

SPEAKER_08 1:00:18

I think I'm gonna turn right here. We got it um, we have a good sense of correction.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:22

Um it smells good. I like that. And it you know what? I kind of think that the fact that it took them a while is probably a good sign.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:30

It's a good sign because they were you they were using extra care. I don't know if this was the right place to turn.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:38

Um, yeah, extra care. I mean, I think they could have used three more people and they could have gotten the same thing out quicker. I only saw like one guy in there.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:46

They must have had a couple of guys.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:48

A couple guys. Yeah. There's I think there was two more at the back. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_12 1:00:54

Um, there's no through street. Oh, the no through street doesn't mean dead in, though, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:02

Uh they just don't want you driving through here. I think this is good. I think you want to go there. It's in this neighborhood. But we gotta go farther back, but we just gotta find the road.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:12

All the roads should go parallel with university. I remember she said that. She's really good at telling me stuff.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:18

I'm just not good at listening.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:20

You have um male pattern blindness. Something. Male earring something.

SPEAKER_12 1:01:27

Alright, so and now I'm turned around. Am I going? Oh, yeah, here we go. This is this going to deeper into the neighborhood? I think so. I think this this looks right. You know what? The other thing, what I meant to do when she told me this was just to look at a map. I was just gonna say this because. Because if we can see a map, we might be going in the wrong direction. I'm gonna consult the map. See, where we're at on a map and look for a park.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:52

I'm gonna pull out my guys right here and my my road atlas.

SPEAKER_04 1:01:57

Oh, I know what to do. I've got a great idea. Watch this. I'm gonna talk to a real human. Is anyone on the side of the room?

SPEAKER_03 1:02:04

Are we gonna ask a human for directions? Let's ask a human. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:08

Hey, excuse me. Is there a park around here somewhere? I I would can you point me to the right direction?

SPEAKER_06 1:02:27

Perfectly.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:33

That's it. Thank you. That's the one I'm looking for.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:36

Yeah, I see it right when he after he got done giving you old-fashioned directions. I just now saw it on the map.

SPEAKER_12 1:02:42

Well, you know what's interesting. I thought, oh, look at this. There's a real human in the world. I could talk to him. He's got his headphones in, and he's an old geezer, too. He's like, why is this guy talking to me? He's an old geezer with his headphones, and so he's living in some other reality.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:55

Right. But of course, that was the reality that we lived in in the in the 80s and 90s, right? Before phones. Yeah. Like, what are you gonna do? Well, you gotta stop and ask someone for directions, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:04

Yeah, yeah. There's this TV out on the side of the road. Look at that um nice mailbox. Mailbox holder. That's good. You see some stuff in Florida, boy. Oh man, for the man. So there's the park. Yeah. He sent us to the parking for the park. He's like, well, the park's right there, but parking for the parking. Right. And my and she said nobody's gonna be out here. Well, look. Look at all these people. This is active neighborhood. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:03:32

Now that lady's waiting for me, and I'm waiting for her. And we're waiting for the guy on the bike. With his cool shades. I don't know if she's waiting for that. And this must be it, right? This is the parking for the park. Oh, there's one of like four parking spaces. Yeah. Not one is taken.

SPEAKER_12 1:03:51

So she was right. Look at this. Nice park. Green Acres Park.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:00

Oh, geez. All right. I got the coach.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:18

We're just over an hour. We're just getting started. We're gonna started.

SPEAKER_13 1:04:25

We're not even done with the mailbag yet.

SPEAKER_12 1:04:27

We're not even done with the mailbag.

SPEAKER_13 1:04:28

Um, where do we go then?

SPEAKER_12 1:04:30

Um there's gotta be she said there's a picnic table.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:46

Oh no, we go, we go what?

SPEAKER_03 1:04:49

I can't read this map. Oh, okay. You are here.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:53

You are here. Parking.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:56

Yeah. But which way is are we facing? Oh, these are trails through the woods. Right, so we probably it's probably like this. Oh, I think I see it. I think it's up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going this way.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:06

Um, man, see, look at this.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:08

This is beautiful. This is so beautiful. I didn't I've never been back here. Maybe once a long time ago. Maybe not even. See, Caroline knows all the good spots because she grew up in Gainesville.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:18

So she's well, I'm um trying to take a picture. My my phone is struggling. Because uh I don't know why. Maybe I'm struggling. My phone's fine.

SPEAKER_04 1:05:31

It's just I don't even want I don't even want to take a picture because I just want to just walk through it.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:35

You want to you want to uh soak it all in. It's so pretty. I and I I you don't want to be distracted by your phone.

SPEAKER_12 1:05:43

You want to you wouldn't know that we were in the middle of a really bad drought walking through here. Because it just quite green. It's quite green, but it's also shady.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:53

Yeah. Shady, but like in the sense that it's like there's tree cover, not like shady, like oh, it's a that's a shady place. It's like you know questionable, man. Yeah, it's not that kind of shady.

SPEAKER_12 1:06:06

But um Yeah, so I I have this uh I leave my key in my car, but all my tools are in my car. Yeah, and you can't always just walk away from your car. No, you gotta be yeah with your tools in it. Of course not. So I have a little um what do you call that? A fob? A key fob. And the fob is it allows you to lock and unlock the door. Yeah. So I'll hook that on my belt, lock the car. A key's still in the car. But then I have a way to lock it and unlock it without having to take the key with me.

SPEAKER_03 1:06:39

But okay, I've been I came here years ago. I came to a kid's birthday party here. You did? Yeah, just like you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I remember. Yeah. It was uh I think it was um uh Andrew and Barcillo's kid, Amelia. I think it was her birthday party. That was a long ass time ago. But yes, I do clearly remember coming here one time.

SPEAKER_12 1:07:02

Yeah, I remember being here, but you know, I I remember this is a good part for kids to run around totally because of all the woods, yeah, yeah, a lot of space trails.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:12

But they don't seem to have their um picnic game, picnic table game down.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:18

No, we got a nice little pavilion there. Yeah, and guess what? Caroline was right, there's no one here.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:24

Oh, I see the pavilion. Okay, there's some picnic tables over there.

SPEAKER_13 1:07:28

Yeah, there's a couple in the in the shade over there, but I think let's go to that one right there under the pavilion. We got a nice little garden here. Very nice.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:38

Why would why would we go in in the pavilion? We can go over there in the woods.

SPEAKER_13 1:07:42

Yeah, we could do that too. I was just saying because it's right here, but oh well, that's right there. Those other ones are right there too.

SPEAKER_04 1:07:47

So I feel like the pavilion is where you sit when you when you got kids, you know, and the kids are playing.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:55

Right. We well, we are kids, like not technically, like we're kids at heart.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:00

But you know, I was kind of looking around for like the old wooden picnic table in the under the trees, yeah, you know, and they don't do that anymore nowadays. It's like everything's like concrete and metal and you're like your old school rubberized.

SPEAKER_13 1:08:14

You want to we want the old pressure-treated wood that one you're gonna get a spooker from it, you know.

SPEAKER_12 1:08:18

That table at Papinas is was sweet, right? That was a nice uh wood picnic table. All right, well, it's a beautiful surroundings. We have uh arrived, certainly have, and let's get pictures of our food for our Instagram. I'm gonna pause and we're gonna eat our once eat for lunch in a park. What'd you call it? What kind of green breezy ways park? Green acres. Green acres, green acres park, like the TV show, Green Acres. All right, um, that was excellent. Uh those were really good subs. They did not suffer a bit from uh travel. It made them better. They were so good, made them better because they toasted them. Right. It was nice, nice rolls. Yeah, I just absolutely destroyed that sub or the two subs.

SPEAKER_13 1:09:09

We shared, we shared we shared a chicken and an eggplant.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:11

Yeah. Um well and so I um I don't know. I don't think I'd ever had an eggplant parm sub. In your entire life? Yeah, 58 years old, first eggplant parm sub ever. Yeah, because I get I just eat the chicken. Yeah, right. Usually like I'm it's not like somebody's making me, nobody's making me. I mean, obviously, Caroline's made eggplant, but she wouldn't put it in bread. Right. So you've had you've had eggplant parm, which is not in sub form. Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_06 1:09:38

Right.

SPEAKER_12 1:09:39

So I didn't I wouldn't have thought of that. Very nice, very good. And the chicken I thought was even better because it's a little crispier. So crispy. Still very tender chicken and um just the right amount of cheese melt and everything, and the bread was good.

SPEAKER_03 1:09:51

I'm gonna go back there, and next time I'm gonna try um. Well, I do want to try the pasta, like you were saying. But uh I want to try the cold Italian sub.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:00

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The classic Italian, yeah. All right, so what are we doing? So now we're we're eating tiramisu. Are we gonna sit here? Are we gonna go back to the podmobile, or what are we gonna do? Let's um let's let's take that to bring that with you. Let's go to this table in the shade.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:19

That's a good idea.

SPEAKER_12 1:10:20

Um, so you got an email program, right? Right. Let's check the mail. I've opened the email program.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:29

Okay, and we're gonna uh go through the email bag. We got a deep mail bag. Oh, really? Yeah. All right, here we go. First email from Emmy Lou. Subject Gumby.

SPEAKER_04 1:10:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:10:43

I've been trying to find this picture for weeks. This is a Christmas cookie I made in 2024. The only cookie cutters I have are for dog treats, so I had to get creative. Gator, what's your advice for warm weather running? Field recording to follow. And uh, here's the picture. Well, listeners can't see it, but we can post a picture to our Instagram later, but that's uh Eleanor's Gumby Christmas cookie. Oh wow. That's pretty good. Right, it's like a dog bone shape, but she made it into a gumby. Yeah, that's definitely gonna go on the Instagram. All right. Um okay, so so now I notice uh Google Gmail starting to do like the AI thing where they like basically write the email for you. So this so this is what the Google AI wants you to reply to this email.

SPEAKER_10 1:11:31

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:31

It says, hey, that cookie is amazing. You are so creative. Now, do you agree with that? Was that would that be something that you would type as a human being in your own right? Or is that something that like sounds like it's AI generated? That's something that my aunt, Patsy, would write totally. All right, and then it also says, for warm weather running, I just slow way down and focus on hydration. I'll send more specific tips later.

SPEAKER_12 1:11:57

Now that does sound like something you would say. Wait, what was it slowed down?

SPEAKER_03 1:12:02

I just slowed, I just slow way down and focus on hydration.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:06

I'll talk more about this later.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:09

So what so that's what AI thinks. What do you think about the cold weather or warm weather? I meant uh running tips.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:17

Well, I would always just go as early as I could in the day. Yeah. Because it's I mean, but I don't know what it's like there. I mean, obviously.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:27

I mean, but it's not gonna be at like six in the morning. It's definitely gonna be cooler than no matter where you are, I would think.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:34

Yeah. I I mean my best advice would be to run when it's not too hot. Oh. So either early in the morning or late at night.

SPEAKER_11 1:12:41

No. Early in the morning. Early. First thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:45

All right. So that's your answer. Uh uh Emmy, you're gonna have to set that alarm for 4 a.m. and get up and get out there.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:52

Yep. That's what that's my advice. But I quit running.

SPEAKER_03 1:12:56

All right, so don't don't listen to anything he says.

SPEAKER_12 1:12:58

He doesn't even I think it has contributed to this problem that with my spine and my pinched nerve.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:04

You don't think it makes it better?

SPEAKER_12 1:13:05

You think it's No, I think that by running and and and having and already having bad joints back there. It puts pressure on you. It's it's yeah, just look at your spine as you're running down the street on concrete. Right. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:17

I guess the barefoot shoes.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:19

It's just like that's your first problem.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:21

You need some proper running shoes.

SPEAKER_12 1:13:22

I don't know. Like, I don't know that that's true though. I kind of love the these aren't the barefoot ones, but I love the ones that are like no. Anyway, it I didn't like running. So if you tell me I the running's no good, then I'm like, great. Right. No problem. Um no, it's probably at my age to be running is probably not this like I already have some bad joints, and it's like it's it's not the time to take up running. I mean, most people have the problems because they did a lot of running young when they were younger, but now that I've already messed up a bunch of stuff, and then to start running is not really the right. It's too late. Yeah. It's too late. So, yeah, that's the best advice. Right. Just stop running.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:57

Yeah, right. I was just gonna say that's my advice. Don't run and take up pickleball instead.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:02

Yeah, people do say that that's pretty addictive stuff.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:05

Yep. All right, here we go. Next email from Satchel. Uh, okay, subject Dunbar dummy. How did we forget to review Dunbars last time we podcast?

SPEAKER_12 1:14:17

Well, see, that was the time we we had both been in the same week. Right. So it was very top of my. I hadn't even heard your review yet. Yeah, right. So we were gonna be able to like really get into it.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:26

Well, what happened was we were focusing on the Twinkie Pizza, and I think that kind of took up all of our headspace.

SPEAKER_12 1:14:31

It took completely took us for a loop. Right. We were all excited about talking about Dunbar, and then boom, somebody mentioned Twinkie Pizza. And then that was out the window. Yeah. What is going on? Like, let's make a Twinkie Pizza.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:42

You alright? So this is what uh this is what Google AI is saying to reply to this email.

SPEAKER_11 1:14:46

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 1:14:47

Ugh, totally space that. We gotta fix it next time. Satch. Did you even assign your name? The email that you wrote to yourself is assigning your name to the email that you're gonna write back to yourself.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:00

Right. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:02

Well, uh, so we did fit, we did do our dunbar review just now. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:06

I mean, I but see, I wanted to remember, and I knew we did the mail first thing. Yeah. So I was like, we'll get right into the mail, and that'll remind us like, oh, we were gonna talk about this restaurant, which we both really like. Right. But we already did recovery. It was new, it was like everybody's talking about it. Yeah, I mean, we're probably one of the top three podcasts reviewing it in Gainesville. Oh, I at least. I think we're one of the top three podcasts.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:25

Definitely that are reviewing it. That are reviewing that specific restaurant.

SPEAKER_12 1:15:28

Yeah, exactly. Because it was all it was all in the news, it's on this news.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:32

It's the hot restaurant. It's the hot restaurant. Everyone's talking about it.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:37

Uh, I can't believe we did that.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:40

Did what?

SPEAKER_04 1:15:41

We forgot to do the dunbar review. Ugh, sat.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:45

Ugh.

SPEAKER_04 1:15:46

I'm such a dummy.

SPEAKER_03 1:15:47

Alright, this one you have starred, but it's just like a buzz sprout junk mail. I don't know why you starred it. Let me see. I maybe had a question about it. Yeah, but you didn't like type anything. You just you just starred it. Oh, I guess you wouldn't, it's from them, so you would Oh.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:03

Here, what is that?

SPEAKER_03 1:16:04

That's what it's right there right away. It says fan mail. Oh, fan mail. Okay, so it's it's telling it says fan mail gets two big upgrades. Oh, okay. You can now reply to fan mail, and your listeners can send you voicemails through fan mail. Okay, that is noteworthy. I was just I was just like, what is this spam?

SPEAKER_12 1:16:18

But guess what? Somebody's digging in around here and like figuring out what's a good email. Yeah. Uh huh. It looks like spam, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:16:27

Right.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:27

It's like that Bucky's postcard. It looks like spam, but it's not.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:30

It's actually a postcard that's right. It's Bucky's, yeah. Uh so that's super cool. Uh maybe Oklahoma Bro will send us a voicemail or um Yeah, so fan mail.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:38

We get fan mail from Oklahoma Bro.

SPEAKER_03 1:16:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:16:40

And then Oklahoma Bro just he jumps on the scene, and the next thing you know, he's like Mega Twinkie Pizza, we're making his eyes and then we're in the kitchen making his. And then um the whole pretty much whole episode's named after him, for that matter. And now um he can he can actually leave what was it, voice?

SPEAKER_03 1:17:00

Yeah, like a voice message. He can leave a voice message. Yeah. A voice memo, a voice message. That might be nice.

SPEAKER_14 1:17:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:05

Because he has a nice voice. Right. We could be good at that. He could just talk, he could just chat with us a little bit. Right. Okay, Oklahoma, bro. Here it here we go. Um have you ever heard of geomorphol geomorphology? Right, because Grummy has. Grummy was saying that um then that that those rocks were geomorphic. They were geometry. Geomorphological paradise.

SPEAKER_04 1:17:30

It was a geomorphological paradise.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:32

And I agree with her. It absolutely is. I had no idea. I thought she's just making stuff up, like, making an old lady out of her mind. She's making up words.

SPEAKER_12 1:17:40

And uh, and then we'll in in our pause to eat, I had to look it up because I was like, is that a real word? And of course, of course, the slice is going like, yeah, dummy, of course, of course. And I'm like, not of course. And then I'm like, oh, now it makes sense.

SPEAKER_03 1:17:53

Right, geo meaning rocks, morph meaning change. Logical meaning meaning logical. Alright, what else we got? We got uh okay, we got some uh rec field recordings from Eleanor.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:11

As a matter of fact, that's the subject of the of the email. Recordings from the field.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:16

Okay, Eleanor says, Hi. A kid showed up to clarinet class with a recorder today. I made him play something so I can make a recording. Make a recording of the recorder. I love it. I am also going to send the Bucky's postcard today, which Very nice.

SPEAKER_12 1:18:30

We knew about that much. We're actually gonna take up an open letter to Bucky's later on today.

SPEAKER_03 1:18:35

I have to go to I have to go to the post office to mail a check. I had to write a check for the first time in years. My checks have the incorrect address and my old last name. I hope it works because it is for Cobra Insurance. How stupid is that health insurance is tied to our jobs. Do not get me started on this topic, LNR. I mean it's too late, you already did, but it's something that I feel very strongly about. Paul got a new job, but we don't have insurance until May 1st. And then, of course, we have to start all over trying to meet the deductible. I know this isn't a political podcast, but this whole system is so stupid, and I don't know why we are all we all just accept this. Anyway, that's all I've got for now, Eleanor. Yeah, I mean, I I could write a book about about that, the health, the health care industry, the health insurance industry. I mean, it is just It'll bring you down, man. It's already bringing me down.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:26

It'll bring you down real quick.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:27

Um, but let's you want to just play these voicemails, these voicemails. Hold on, hold on.

SPEAKER_12 1:19:31

So let I'm gonna go back over what she said though. I'm I'm trying to remember.

SPEAKER_03 1:19:34

She she wrote a check for Cobra. It's got the wrong address, it's got the wrong name. Right. But see, they don't care about that. They care about the money that's attached to it, right? If they could cash that check, you could, you could, it can say literally anything on there. They don't care, they don't care what your name is, where you live, they want your money because it is a for-profit enterprise, and they care about making a profit above all else. That's the only thing they care about. Yeah. That's the only thing they care about. They they they don't they provide health care based on what is billable. Not not based on what the patient needs, not based on you know best practices, not best, not based on the standards of health care in in today's world. They base it on what is billable. They know what that your insurance, they know what they can bill your insurance for, and that's what they do. It has nothing to do with anything else other than what is the billing code. That's what they that's the only thing this insurance is cares about. Does it have the right billing code? Okay, well then we can do it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's like there's no other way to to to to frame that. That's literally how it works.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:45

Yeah, you it's a you almost have to take your health into your own hands. Absolutely, like figure it out like day by day. Absolutely, you do. But the checks thing, right? That's what I was gonna mention.

SPEAKER_07 1:20:58

You're gonna talk about writing a check, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:20:59

Is uh the other day I needed to check. And like I I think it's you know, you I I send checks out to people sometimes. Like probably more than I should at this point.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:09

You fill it out, you write it out in it, you write out the numbers in in the rate. Oh yeah. Four four hundred and thirteen dollars and seventy-three cents. 73 over 100, and then you draw the line to the end, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:21:22

I do, I do all that.

SPEAKER_03 1:21:24

And um right, because someone's gonna take that check. You're gonna hand it to the person.

SPEAKER_12 1:21:27

And I told the person, I told the person at the at the they do um pest control for the beach house. Yeah. And so I told him, like, can I just pay you like Bro, it's 2026. Because they're like, we never got paid. I'm like, dude, I totally paid you. I sent that in the mail. Yeah, that's no, that's your first problem. I don't know what the last check was or how to go cancel it or if I worry about it. But they anyway, so I do have to write, and they're like, sorry, we don't have the system. And I'm like, I'm not gonna go to another system, a per another company. I kind of like that they don't have it in a way. It's like it just means that they're real people over there.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:04

They accept personal checks.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:05

I'm like, all right, I'll do the same thing. I'll just write you a check and put it in the mail. And if you lose it, call me and I'll write you another check.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:10

Mail.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:12

You know Venmo? And they're like, no, we don't have to.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:15

It's 2026, man. Come on. Like, and and I'm the first to admit that I am a PayPal, get PayPal. I'm a grumpy Gen Xer, but even I realize that. Come on, man. We got Venmo, we got Zell, we got Cash, we got all this stuff. Too many.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:29

Yeah, we got too. You got Cash App. Right. You got Zell. You got Venmo. You got Venmo.

SPEAKER_03 1:22:33

You got PayPal. You got PayPal. You got uh credit card.

SPEAKER_12 1:22:38

Right. But the for those four, I'm always running to people that are like, oh, just Cash App me. I have Cash Apps. And then or the other one. What was it? Uh Zell. Zell. Yeah. I have Zell with my bank. Yeah. But they only let me send $500 a month. Oh, okay. I didn't know about it. Right. So if you're trying to Zell somebody and you go over $500. Yeah, you're shit out of luck. Anyway. Whatever. Yeah, cash. Cash only. Cash or personal checks. I do like cash. So anyway, I did have to get some checks. And last time I remember buying checks many, many years ago, Caroline were like, what the hell?

SPEAKER_04 1:23:13

It's $50 to get 30 checks. Like, what the hell? We got the simplest ones. We got the pictures of Bucky on there.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:22

And so we we and we were just like, so we just went in and got the 50 checks or the 100 or whatever it was.

SPEAKER_00 1:23:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:23:27

And it's been many years. And we were getting running out, you know? So I went in the bank the other day, and I know I don't need many right now. And I was like, I just need some checks. Okay. And they just print me up, like, how many you want? I'm like, eight. And they just print me up eight checks. Oh, for real? Oh, that's cool. I didn't have to go buy the checks. Oh, that's nice.

SPEAKER_03 1:23:43

Yeah, I bet my bank wouldn't do that, but that's that's cool. What's your bank? Uh um uh campus USA. Um, yeah, but like um you know what I did though, I ordered so that they are the the checks are famously expensive from the bank. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I ordered them from Walmart.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:01

You can order you can order them from like a third party like that. Yeah. And they're actually pre-like I ordered enough checks from Walmart that'll probably last until way after I'm dead, right? Because we don't really write checks. But it's funny, it's interesting that Eleanor mentioned this because when you were texting me earlier today when I was still at work, and you're like, hey, where do you want to go for lunch? We got blah blah. And you said Hogan's. That was one of the places you said. Yeah. And as you know, at Hogan's they only accept cash and personal checks. So I've never done this, but I it's a dream I have of going to Hogan's and paying with a personal check. I think they started taking credit cards now.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:35

No, don't tell me that I think they started about a month ago.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:40

Even Hogan's Evan Hogan's. I was a holdout for a long time. Famously, I did a long time. But but even satchels has taken cards for like five years now. Tell me that. But still, but that was the that was the most famous thing about satchels, right? Before you started taking cards. Like, oh, the cash only. Satchels is cash only.

SPEAKER_00 1:24:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:24:59

People thought it was and there's always the people online who would say it's you know because I'm like doing some shady shit, not paying my taxes or something.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:07

No, it's funny because you explicitly state the reason for that is so you don't have to pay the fees to the credit card companies, use the ATM, and the fee that the ATM charges you will donate that to a local nonprofit. Right. Which is funny because in reality, what you're doing is the least shady thing possible. You're actually like like a pillar of this fucking community. And people are in these shitheads online, or just they just want, you know, they just want to say something. So he's probably well, no, it no, it's actually because he's doing that because he's like donating thousands of dollars to local nonprofits.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:37

When you um when when she started talking about health insurance, you got that you went off.

SPEAKER_03 1:25:43

It's like you're still out there, man. It's the thing that you're still out there, it's the thing that uh let's go. It fills me with anger and rage. Like it just does.

SPEAKER_12 1:25:52

Finish the tear music. You don't want anymore? No, I'm not. I'm done. Um, it was good though.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:06

Look at that, he's gonna fix it. That's cool. I was just looking at that. I was like, oh, it just needs one little part.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:14

Oh, loads. I think they have my loads though. No, I got some.

SPEAKER_07 1:26:27

I'll be able to find right here.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:32

Um I'm gonna keep my this is mine. This is our trash? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:26:41

You're gonna you wanna put it in the bag or you just want to keep it like that? I'm gonna hold it like this.

SPEAKER_12 1:26:48

Oh wait, is that is that mine too? Yeah. Oh, those are I don't need a bag. Sorry, I didn't realize probably too. Sorry. Uh just took a little visit to my pocket there as we walked away.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:11

Alright, this is I feel like this is our spot. But isn't that funny though? They just did the city employee showed up to fix that thing, right?

SPEAKER_04 1:27:18

I I we and I was saying, like, oh, they what did I say? I don't I'm having a lot of people. We're like, oh, they're never gonna fix this. You said something like, oh, that's probably been like that forever. I'm looking at the yellow tape, the caution tape, thinking like there's six months. Yeah, this thing I could fix this. And I'm thinking, like, I might go to Lowe's later and get what I need.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:35

We're just like berating the city for their inefficiency. And guy pulls up, pulls right up.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:39

Like, you know, guy pulls up, got tools. He's like, Yep, I got um, I don't have these, but I got something different.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:45

All right, all right, make it work.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:47

They got it figured out, man.

SPEAKER_03 1:27:48

Yeah, that's that's the thing.

SPEAKER_12 1:27:49

It's not a hard problem to figure out. No, but you have to have a bureaucracy in place to get it to be fixed. That's right. You know, that's right. And the bureaucracy is obviously working. Well, clearly, right here, you got a part of use it, but I don't have to have the broken piece of equipment. That could be the top priority of the 25?

SPEAKER_03 1:28:14

Not even supposed to be anybody out here. Right. That's amazing. I'm glad I completely forgot about this part. Eight years ago I was here or something like that. Oh, or seven o'clock something ago. Oh, it's just too funny. I'm like you're driving out there, and I'm thinking I'm like, this is not what Gumbi does. This is what I'm saying to myself. My inner dialogue.

SPEAKER_04 1:28:47

Yeah, but you know, you can speak it up.

SPEAKER_03 1:28:49

I second guess myself. I said, well, you must early tackle that he's doing. Yeah, that's that's what I'm saying to myself.

SPEAKER_12 1:28:54

Like I said, you gotta what's happening is is it's happening slowly, right, before your very eyes. And what's happening is I'm teetering over into like a really old man, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:29:07

Right, we're gonna go back to the phone. And your and your head your head is still 2001 and Gumpy is out there on 39.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:12

Yeah, but I'm I'm teetering in my mental state, and then you are, but then you're looking like, oh, he must know what he's doing. That's where you're wrong. You have to start from the from a at your first mistake. I might, I might not know what I'm doing. But I I did find out how to get to this part.

SPEAKER_03 1:29:29

Yeah, we I I love it. You just asked. We took a uh delivery uh out to um I can't remember what it was now. But anyway, at the red light, the woman was like, hey, hey, can can you give me direct she's like asking us directions at a red light? And I felt like it was like 1989 again. Like, oh yeah, what's what's even going off?

SPEAKER_12 1:29:50

Like, where's Bageland?

SPEAKER_03 1:29:50

Oh yeah, it's just right up here again.

SPEAKER_12 1:29:53

I love that. Yeah, yeah, hardly ever happens with maps and stuff nowadays. But clearly this woman didn't have her Google Maps on because she's asked after fashion directions. Well, and for me that like navigate my Google Maps and record a podcast, that would be more than I can.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:07

All right, too much, too much more.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:11

I've left the key in the car. And I don't know that the file's not on the keyboard. That's the thing. That's noteworthy.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:25

You're using the system like completely independently of the key.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:30

I know. Which makes the whole thing so far. I still don't have to have a key. But I have to have the fob. But only if I want to lock it. And I mean sometimes I'm like, oh, where's the fob? And so I just don't lock it.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:42

There's a flaw in your system.

SPEAKER_12 1:30:44

There is. Because I gotta keep up with this fob.

SPEAKER_03 1:30:48

Oh my gosh, my parents got the self-driving Tesla. They did? Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. They like just got it. But um, yeah. Which one is it? Like a model three? I'm not sure, but it I was just like, well, is it like the kind that it's got like the cruise control? They're like, no, no, no. It's the kind that drives itself.

SPEAKER_00 1:31:08

Yeah.

unknown 1:31:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:10

And I was like, are you serious? I'm like, so when you go to Publix, you don't you don't drive. You just go to, you know. What do they say? They say, no, it drives, it drive, it, it drives the it parks for you, like it does everything for you. But they shouldn't really trust that.

SPEAKER_14 1:31:22

Well, that's what I said to my dad. I was like, Do you keep your hands on the steering wheel? And he's like, Nope.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:29

I'm just like, I don't get that. Like, again, I'm a grumpy Gen Xer. Like, I don't, I just don't understand that. But you wrote in the Waymo in San Francisco, right?

SPEAKER_11 1:31:37

Um, yeah, I just did you did you trust the Waymo?

SPEAKER_12 1:31:42

I trust the Waymo technology because they're doing it like millions and millions and millions of streets all over, but I don't trust Tesla as much because I um I I had one of their cars famously.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:56

You were the first person I knew. You were the first one that ever knew that even had a Tesla, man. I do not trust those people's cars. Well, your Tesla was like you actually had to drive it.

SPEAKER_11 1:32:06

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It I mean, it had uh you could take your hands off the steering wheel, but it didn't, it it didn't do it drive. It wouldn't like parked for you, not back then.

SPEAKER_03 1:32:18

But uh the coolest thing about your Tesla, your ex Tesla, was the doors, how they go up. I that's the part I didn't like about the thing.

SPEAKER_12 1:32:25

But that's so cool. I didn't know that's so cool. So I had ordered that car. This guy brought a Model 3, I mean a Model S, the first one they made is a dance, and he brought it by the restaurant, and I drove it and I was like, that car is great. And so I went and put a down payment on one. And you thought you were getting that one. And then about the next thing that happens is you hear, oh, the next model's coming out. Right. And I'm like, I'm like, and you think it's gonna be better, right? You're like, well, if this was their first model, the second model's gonna be better than the first model. Yeah, exactly. So I've moved my money to that model, yeah, and then that model comes out. Right. What's it called? Uh I can't remember. Two Hans?

SPEAKER_03 1:33:03

No, I thought you're talking about the Tesla.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:05

The um I was just trying to read that. I can't read it, yeah.

SPEAKER_09 1:33:09

It's not readable. I don't, you know, this is it. I think there's a way to get out of here. Oh, yeah. That's I think that's university right there.

SPEAKER_03 1:33:16

Or Newberry, if it's called Newberry.

SPEAKER_11 1:33:20

Um, see, I forgot what I was talking about. Well, we're talking about the Tesla.

SPEAKER_12 1:33:23

Oh. So I then it was the the next one came out and it had those doors. And I just thought they were a little douchey, but I'd already I'd already put my money down on that car, and I was like, you know, it's the newest thing, it'll be fun. It'll be I just thought like I'll this car, I'll never have to get gas again. Yeah, I'll it'll last forever. Right. I'll forever. I I don't know why I thought it would last forever. Like I had this idea that it it stems from this um weed eater I had as a kid, and it was an electric weed eater, right? And I used that thing for so many years. Right. And I mean, I think I had it 20 years later, I was still using it. Right. And then I So you assume that your Tesla. Yeah. So I graduated to the gas car. I mean, uh, the gas weed eater. And I went through like four of those. Like every couple years, they would, you know, the string would break or the motor would go out, and they would tune up. So I thought, oh, this is like that. This is like the cars are gonna just run. You don't ever they just run and they just run around forever. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:32

That's what you thought.

SPEAKER_12 1:34:33

Yeah, that's what I thought. I actually thought that's what was gonna happen. They were gonna be like real simple.

SPEAKER_03 1:34:39

But they don't really know what they're doing making cars. No, it turns out they don't. They're getting better at it. Yeah. Well, I mean, they must be getting better at it. They got a car that fucking drives itself.

SPEAKER_11 1:34:48

Yeah, I just think that they're they're doing they're um they're using different technology than um than Waymo. So Waymo's was uh lidar, lidar. Oh, it's that thing, that thing that spins on the top of the code. Yeah, and that goes down and can tell you what's in the what's happening around you. And so what what is the Tesla technology? Tesla is like cameras, though.

SPEAKER_09 1:35:09

It's just cameras and sensors, right?

SPEAKER_12 1:35:10

Okay, yeah. So they they have cameras and they they film everything, and then they have people like going through this for you know, saying truck, tree, dog to teach it, to teach it what it is. Yeah, and then and and they taught a different kind of system. It's just like it's just a different, you know. So the Waymo technology is pretty well established. Yeah. Tesla technology, the people that drive the cars are the people that are testing the cars. Totally. Yeah, my guess. And I and the technology, and and and I just think that, you know, it's not the the verdict's not out whether which of those technologies is gonna win, but it looks like to me it's gonna be leadar. And people are in the spinning thing, it's gonna be like no big deal. Sure. I mean, it looks funny.

SPEAKER_08 1:35:59

It works, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:00

But I love the idea of like getting in my car and driving to like South Florida or like and not having to drive. Like, I love that.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:08

Like, no, I think that's common, and I think it's maybe I don't know. I bet that's 10 years from now.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:15

Yeah, I love that. Like, I mean, it's like you'll still be stuck in traffic, but it'll somehow I feel like psychologically it'll feel different. Yeah, you don't have to if you can kind of check out, you know.

SPEAKER_11 1:36:25

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, they call that buses. That already exists, it's called the bus. Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:36:35

It does see I mean, when you think about it, it does seem kind of crazy. Just get in a car, everybody's in their own little car driving to their own little place. You know, yeah. Public transit is obviously such a better system for moving.

SPEAKER_03 1:36:49

So much better. But Florida, let's just say that Florida has a uh less than exemplary record when it comes to public transportation. Yeah. I mean, I feel like that would apply to any city in Florida. Uh because Florida is a very, I'm sure California too, like it's a very like car culture, you know what I mean? Like nobody walks, like everyone drives. Yeah. And they yeah, they don't have public transportation because everyone has a car is kind of like, you know, kind of gets the shaft.

SPEAKER_12 1:37:18

What about um the emails?

SPEAKER_03 1:37:20

The emails. Yeah, we are no we are we're just getting started with each we are just getting started.

SPEAKER_06 1:37:25

Out of here.

SPEAKER_03 1:37:26

We went on a tangent. Oh, we got uh Eleanor's field recordings. Um you want to maybe play those whole off on those. I'm gonna start it so we don't forget. All right, here is a field recording from Emmy. Eight minutes. The real juice is at the end when we discussed an old family recipe. Okay, uh, you have my full attention for the family recipe. I'm absolutely absolutely here for that. Hey, we got an email from Shell Dog. Okay, woof woof. Uh okay, so the the subject is CEO Bites. CEO, like chief executive. Officer bites. Bites, CEO bites. All right, sh Shell Dog says, Hey fellow dog brothers, G Dog, Dog Burg. Killing it. Okay, have y'all seen these videos of CEOs taking bites of their own food? One example is the McDonald's CEO taking the tiniest bite of the new double arch burger. I can handle a CEO responsible for destroying the rainforest, slowly killing the American population through chronic illness, and otherwise being a total piece of shit. All caps, but I draw the line at small burger bites. However, the other CEOs tend to take sizable bites and react it positively to their own food. Anyways, clearly what's needed is a video of both of you enjoying a piping hot satchels pizza fresh out of the oven to promote the restaurant. In other news, today I found out that I tore my ACL at jujitsu, and that's a thing I have to deal with. So I'm on the injured reserve with my main man Gator. I've really felt your pain hearing about your pinched nerve, and I wish you a speedy recovery. Cheers, shell dog.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:01

Thank you. I'm getting better.

SPEAKER_03 1:39:02

And I could not possibly agree with you more, Shelldog, about uh the McDonald's CEO taking a tiny bite.

SPEAKER_12 1:39:08

That's so for those of you and listeners who don't know what's going on, there was this. I mean, everybody saw that, right? I did not see it. This is the first time hearing of it. Um so very um, this went viral a few weeks ago. Um, how the CEO of McDonald's was talking about his new burger, yeah, and he picks it up and then he takes like a really small, tiny little bite. Unacceptable. And then he says, Oh, that's great, and he sets it down, calls it a product. This is his new product coming out. That's the that's that's all you need to know right there. And so that went viral because they're just like, oh my god, look at this clown, like talking about his taking that tiny bite and like just trolling and trolling a billionaire CEO. It doesn't take an hour for Burger King to come out with their CEO. He's taking a big out of the whole thing. Yeah, this is Burger. I'm like his whole lunch is coming in a product. I saw, and so then they just kept coming out, people doing them. Some of them funny, but some of them, you know, serious, like, you know. But anyway, uh I saw one, it was a it was a I guess a spoof or a me, a spoof on that or a meme on that. Uh-huh. It was on uh, you know, one of these social media sites, and it was like a dude um who was a manager at Waffle House. Okay, and he was gonna say and he was like, Hey, how y'all doing? He's got like, I'm gonna try to describe it because it's so good. He waffle the kitchen's in his background. Waffle House Kitchen. Speaking of open kitchens, he's got a he's a black guy, he's got this like uh apron on, he's got like a light blue shirt buttoned up. He's got the hat. I see he's got the hat. He's got the hat, and he's like, How y'all doing? And he's looked a little distracted, so he keeps looking around. He knows how y'all doing? We're gonna do one of these. I know this thing's going big with the people eating um eating these CEOs. So we're gonna do that. We're gonna eat some of our food here, show you what it's like. Right, and there's stuff's going on, he keeps looking around. Yeah, and then the next thing you know, he's like, Hey, just get your hands on. He likes leaps out of the um screen. Uh-huh. And he comes back and his shirt's wide open, he's got a wife beater on, he's all sweaty, and he's like, Oh, we're gonna have to come back to this. I don't get the joke, though. He's breaking up a fight in the trying to food, but he's not breaking up a fight.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:17

Yes, yes, I do understand the joke, yes.

SPEAKER_12 1:41:20

And so right away I thought, we should, I gotta do one for Santa, I gotta jump in on this because it's like it's real hot right now. It's real hot. Right. And shell Shell Dog makes that point. And so I was like, I gotta do this. But then I just thought about like, you know, like how like do you how do you do it that way? Like, how do you make it funny?

SPEAKER_11 1:41:37

Right, right, right. Like the Waffle House guy. He made it funny.

SPEAKER_12 1:41:39

Yeah, you got how do you make it funny if you're just like if I'm just sitting there being like trying to be serious, like, hey, I'm gonna eat my food here. Right, so delicious.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:48

That's not funny necessarily.

SPEAKER_12 1:41:49

Yeah, and you could try anyway. I couldn't figure out how to make it funny. And then I think now the time is uh like it's not top of you know, that's that's gone now.

SPEAKER_03 1:41:59

You know, oh we missed we missed the boat.

SPEAKER_12 1:42:01

You kind of miss the boat, you kind of gotta do it in the first week. You gotta be on it.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:05

These these trends they move.

SPEAKER_12 1:42:06

And I was totally into that one. I thought if I could pull this off, this would be great. And I just couldn't think of a good idea. And the problem is I stopped there and I didn't go and ask like Amanda or you or somebody else. Like, what did you do? Not not me, but Amanda would have. But I I mean I did actually think about trying to compile these some of these videos and send them all to a few people and say, help me come up with something else. Like, I ain't got time for that. Yeah, who has time for that?

SPEAKER_03 1:42:28

I ain't got time for that. I mean, we had time to make a twinkie pizza. Well, it's definitely time for that. Always time for that. Uh anyway, thank you for the email, Shell Dog. What else did he ask? What else? Well, he yeah, he he said uh he said he he tore his ACL at GS2.

SPEAKER_12 1:42:43

Yeah, but there was something else that we have to address.

SPEAKER_03 1:42:45

Uh okay, uh what's that? Well, he he was he was uh uh lamenting the uh the McDonald's CEO for taking Oh Yeah, yeah, yeah. If only we could get Google AI to uh summarize this email for us. I bet you could. No, that's it. He just talked about the he talked about uh us doing the video, eating satchels. Okay. Which he which you had already thought of.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:11

And then he talked about that.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:13

But it's good that he's on he's he knows what's going on.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:16

You don't even know what you didn't even know.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:18

You didn't even know about it.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:19

And I'm on Instagram.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:21

You should look up that one. That one's good. That one's worth seeing.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:23

So lights one, the waffle house one.

SPEAKER_12 1:43:24

No, any of them. Just start the one that started it, the McDonald's one.

SPEAKER_11 1:43:28

Right? I I'm honestly kind of have to know it really well if you're gonna spoof it. And I don't even I don't I think I saw it once.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:33

I'm feeling irate right now that the that he would take a minuscule bite like that. That that that angers me almost as much as the state of healthcare and health insurance in this country. Well, maybe when you see them, the bite won't seem as small as you're thinking it is in your mind. Well, but but the and then the fact that he's calling it a product. Would you say that about about satchels?

SPEAKER_12 1:43:54

Oh, a new Twinkie Twinkie.

SPEAKER_03 1:43:56

Well, maybe for that. That's a product. Uh all right, so we got Bust Route. Your podcast received 361 downloads last week. What? It's pretty it's pretty respectable.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:07

That's there's uh we did have three different ones.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:09

Right. And then this one says 96 downloads last week. Oh no, oh, that's for SatchCast. Okay. Speaking of that, I did I have a review of uh a Satchcast episode.

SPEAKER_10 1:44:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:19

Uh I loved the one where you uh were at the chiropractor.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:24

That was that was the best that was the best. Oh, and music. Right. And music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right. So that was that was so the 361 was number one pod. The other one was for Satchcast. And then um You don't read those.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:37

Yeah, these are these are this is this is this is junk. I'm not even gonna, I'm not even gonna, I might even not even do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:42

Uh Buzz Sprout, Satchcast, okay, blah blah blah. Okay, here we go. We got an email from Eleanor. Subject. Hot pizza mouth. So, what do you think she's talking about? She's talking about like when you take a bite of like scalding hot pizza, is that what she's talking about? Probably.

SPEAKER_12 1:44:56

That's what I was saying on the roof of your mouth.

SPEAKER_03 1:44:58

Right. I'm assuming that's what she's talking about. Let's let's let's read the email fine. All right, Eleanor says, Hey Gator, hey Sliceberg. Okay, yeah, here we now we here we go. How long does a pizza need to cool down before you can bite into it? Now, this is a very important question, and one that I have wrestled with for these last 47 years. Uh at least. Well, 47, so I guess I can't really say at least, but okay. Uh I burn my mouth every time I eat pizza. Okay. Relatable. I made a frozen pizza last night. I love frozen pizza. Paul was working late, so it was just the twins and me. I buy these gluten-free pizzas from Costco and I eat them all of the time. Anyway, I put the pizza in the oven last night and I let it cook while I was feeding the boys their dinner of baby yogurt, pancake bites, and strawberries. Nice good dinner. Yeah, good that's good parenting, Eleanor. That's very good parenting. We're happy about that. They are messy eaters, so I had a lot of cleanup to do when it was over. The pizza finished cooking before I was done feeding them, so I figured it would be the perfect temperature to eat by the time I got everyone cleaned up. So I confidently bite into a slice of pizza and it was hot as hell. I burned my mouth so bad. I was so sure it would be cool to a safe temperature for consumption. Oh boy, was I wrong. And I can feel that your pain because it's like psychologically, if you know for sure that it's gonna be good, good, you don't you don't go in timidly like that, like that CEO of McDonald's. That's right. You go, you take like that full bite, and uh, so yeah, absolutely. I can I even though I can I'm feeling like uh what's the word? Like vicariously, I'm right there with you, you know. Uh okay, the twins' first birthday party is this weekend. So everyone is making their way to Dallas. I'm sure someone will make some field recording so everyone can experience it. Anyway, that's it for now. Heck yeah, Eleanor, thank you so much for the email. Uh and that's the that's the question, right? Because Well, it's not there's no easy answer. You gotta wait till it's how many times in your lifetime have you burned the top of your mouth biting it to a slice of pizza? Is it like in the is it in the billions? The trillions? I don't know. Like like for me it ha it certainly is. Like, it happens every time.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:06

Every time it happens to me, I'm so mad that I don't know better because of my my position in life, my career choices. Right. You would my team area you of all people would know. So when it happened to me like six months ago, I was just like, I am a 58 year old motherfucking man.

SPEAKER_04 1:47:27

By now you would know. No, it's a pizza plate! Why am I burning on top of my mouth?

SPEAKER_03 1:47:32

Is it is it just because the the um the pizza is like a drug, right? It's like it's like it's a drug. Like you know, like like intellectually, you know you're gonna burn your mouth, but it's almost like um like the way uh you don't know.

SPEAKER_12 1:47:48

You wouldn't do it if you knew you're not thinking about it, you're not going, oh, it's gonna be too hot. Exactly. It's that cheese, right? It looks good, right? And it exactly you gotta blow on it a little bit. You gotta blow on it a little bit, right? Nice soft blows. Yeah, yeah. You wanna definitely blow blowing helps. Blowing helps blow the heat away from it a little bit, and then you go in gently a little bit on that tip of that pizza.

SPEAKER_09 1:48:08

But we need to do some some scientific research.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:12

Well, it's according to the temperature of the oven, the kind of pizza it is. Like the thing about those frozen pizzas, especially if it's a GF, uh, that thing's gonna cook like a little, it's gonna bake like a whole little loaf in there. You know, it's not like cheese is gonna be dripping off of it. It's bread or anything. Yeah. It's like some kind of concocted mush of styroam and peanuts, you know. Right. And so that thing's gonna get hot as hell. That's gonna get hotter, I think, than like that if you just made a pizza.

SPEAKER_08 1:48:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:48:39

You took a slice out of the oven and you reheated or something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:48:42

But I don't know. I mean, I can just see it now. But you you would think you would you would you're usually something happens. It's either you you get a different uh uh sense. So it's your eye, you know, you see the steam right coming up when you get close. You see the steam, right? It's like, oh, this is too hot to eat. Right.

SPEAKER_08 1:49:01

The steam is a that's a giveaway.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:02

Sometimes you just feel the heat when you get close, you know, with your skin. Right. Sometimes you can smell the heat.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:11

You can feel it, you can smell it.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:14

So, I mean, that's my advice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 1:49:16

Now, of course, I do it all the time. You feel the time, right?

SPEAKER_12 1:49:18

And I do it all the time. And I and I'm like, I why like why do I keep doing this? I and I think I think the honest answer is is because you're you you've lost, you've you you're not living in the moment anymore. You're living in you just you have to get that pizza inside of you moment. Like, it doesn't matter, like you're not breathing anymore. Exactly, yeah. You you are completely checked out from reality. You're not your your eyes aren't focused on any right fonts that might be in your in the area.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:47

Your uh your eyes are completely glassed over, glazed up just like and you're in a trip.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:52

And your hands and your head's shaking a little bit back and forth.

SPEAKER_03 1:49:55

Little little drool coming out the corner of your mouth, you know.

SPEAKER_12 1:49:58

And you gotta remember, like, hey man, that's That thing probably just came out of a 500-degree oven, 400 degree oven.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:03

But see, you know, at the time, like once you hear that melted cheese, it's like, forget it. There's no way. Yeah. That happened to me just now when I saw that chicken parched something. I was just in a trance.

SPEAKER_11 1:50:13

I bet, I bet the um I bet their cheese pizza is pretty good, actually. I'd like to try it. Costco. Is it Sam's or Costco? Costco. Costco. Costco. Unfortunately, we don't have that Costco.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:24

That's the one thing. I love Gainesville. I love it so much. If I could change one thing, it would be good. That's a Costco already.

SPEAKER_11 1:50:31

I've never been to a Costco, so I don't know what I'm doing.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:33

Costco is amazing. I grew up going there and it's amazing. But they just don't have one here. We got Sam's Club, but I never go there.

SPEAKER_11 1:50:39

Wow, people are all talking about the Wawas quite a bit, and then we got them, and guess what? They're pretty good. Oh, I love Wawa.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:45

I I go there routinely for uh sandwiches. So good. That's what we should.

SPEAKER_11 1:50:54

Yeah, we'll go to Wawa for lunch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:50:55

That's a good idea. But first we're gonna go we've got Bucky's if we have one. Well, we gotta go to St.

SPEAKER_12 1:51:00

Augustine. Uh-huh. Let's roll down the windows for a little bit, give that a little bit of. I mean, I was just riding around for the last however long with air conditioning. Right, that's very out of character for you. Yeah, I just thought it would make the sound a little more like, you know, sound boothy.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:14

Y'all, even in the summer, like when it's literally like 97 degrees out and 100% humidity, like when it feels like you're in a you know swamp, in a swamp because you are, Gator always has them when it goes down.

SPEAKER_10 1:51:26

You see that um uh that's not good. That backflow preventer is that business right there is leaking. Yeah, I see. That's not good. I don't see any yellow coffee tank, probably see any tool bag.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:34

We need to get that guy, that guy that was fixing the swing out here.

SPEAKER_12 1:51:38

Um, I do, I yeah, I don't use the air conditioner, but I thought I'm back's hurting a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:44

Yeah, well, it's also better for uh sound engineering. Yeah, sound engine.

SPEAKER_12 1:51:48

I mean, this is kind of cool too, because this is like what it really sounds like to drive around Gainesville.

SPEAKER_03 1:51:52

Yeah, and you're close. If you're listening, close your eyes. Imagine you're in a cluttered messy Honda element with all of Gator's tools in the back. And uh yeah, we're just uh cruising around Gainesville. Nice bamboo over there. Yeah, looking good.

SPEAKER_12 1:52:11

So what else? What so so I think we answered all that question there? Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Uh what was that? What is that? We got more mail?

SPEAKER_03 1:52:18

We got uh one more. One more. This is a lot of mail. All right, here we go.

SPEAKER_12 1:52:23

And not last car right there, another orange element coming at me.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:28

Oh, yeah, sure is, yeah. Anything is up from the old geese. He's older geese than me. All right, we got fan mail. And you know what that means. It can only be from one bro. Oklahoma bro. It can only be from one bro.

SPEAKER_12 1:52:40

It could be now, no, that's not true.

SPEAKER_03 1:52:42

It could be from anybody who got listening to us through BuzzDrock. That's true, but have we ever gotten fan mail on BuzzDraft from anyone else? Oklahoma, bro. You're probably right. And guess what? It is Oklahoma, bro. Yo, what's up, fellas? Uh, what are your guilty pleasure conspiracy theories that you could honestly dive into for hours? Give me the deepest rabbit holes you've got, no matter how wild they are. Oklahoma, bro.

SPEAKER_12 1:53:05

Oklahoma, bro. Oh my goodness. Do you have one? Come to mind. Uh he got some good questions, man. What are we gonna do about this uh office um hazing culture, guys? Right. Yeah, you know, he comes up with some good questions. Yeah. All right, so give me your deepest rabbit holey conspiracy conspiracy theories that you could go on about for hours. Is that what he said? Yeah. I mean, I I I thought of something right away. I don't know what you thought of. Okay, what'd you think of? I don't have anything like that because I don't the only way you can go down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theory is would be on online, right?

SPEAKER_03 1:53:52

Yeah, right. That's what that means, I guess. Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 1:53:55

Because I don't I don't I don't like computers, so I don't go on the computer. So I wouldn't I would never like explore a some interesting theory because I would I wouldn't know if I was reading the truth or not the truth, or if I was just on a rabbit hole or a conspiracy theory.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:13

Now, what about now this I don't know if this is I could go on for hours about this. But the thing that just came to mind was uh like should I can should I let him go or should I go past him?

SPEAKER_05 1:54:25

And I'm like, I'm just gonna go past him because it's got to have a Beasle.

SPEAKER_03 1:54:29

Too loud. Now what about this is a very classic uh conspiracy theory. What about the um the Beatles album, right? With that like uh like uh the picture of Paul McCartney with his shoes off. You know about this? You don't know about this famous conspiracy album. I don't know about conspiracy theories. Right, so so there's this one Beatles song. If you play uh it backwards, it says Paul is dead. So they they there was this famous conspiracy theory in the in like the 70s uh where Paul McCartney was actually dead. And the picture of him on the cover of Abbey Road was not, it was like a look-alike. And it's probably complete horseshit because Paul McCartney is still very much alive today. But I feel like that one is uh that for some reason that was the example that like came up first in my mind was like the Paul McCartney uh you know, being being actually.

SPEAKER_05 1:55:23

But it can't, but it can't be a very good conspiracy theory if the guy is still alive. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:55:27

So how could or like what about the conspiracy theory about Elvis still being alive? I don't know about that one. Well, people say he's still alive. Well, he being I mean I don't know. He he died in uh he was probably how old was Elvis when he died, like 40 something, probably shouldn't we know that? We should know that every every American should probably know that. I don't think that every American should know that. So if he he died in like the 70s, and if he was like 40 in the 70s, he would be like 90 now, right? Yeah, be in his 90s.

SPEAKER_04 1:55:57

He's probably not alive.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:00

He obviously isn't. But you know, this is uh it's an example of a of an obvious conspiracy theory. Uh-huh. But I'm trying to think, like, I don't know if I have to. You're in the main lot? Uh yeah. Okay. Yeah, actually, I probably shouldn't have moved my car, but too late now. See, I should know on Thursdays, I should know that you're gonna pick me up, maybe.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:18

Well, it's better than going all the way home and then coming all the way back into town.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:21

But I could just park next door here. Yeah. But we're dropping the ball here on Oklahoma Bros question line. Oh, you're right there? No, I'm right here just for the card. Oh, I'm gonna uh there's plenty of parking. I'm gonna go park back here. No, what about like uh what about the the the We're not dropping the ball because we're not done.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:35

We're not done. We're just getting started.

SPEAKER_09 1:56:36

We're just getting started.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:37

What about uh what about 9-11, inside job? Inside job. Did you ever think about that?

SPEAKER_07 1:56:44

No.

SPEAKER_03 1:56:45

Because that because that tower couldn't have collapsed, that other tower.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:49

Okay. Why?

SPEAKER_03 1:56:51

Physics. Physics. Physics, that's what it's the laws of physics.

SPEAKER_12 1:56:53

One tower. When did weren't there two planes?

SPEAKER_03 1:56:56

Yeah, but I'm talking about uh there was the the one tower that wasn't hit by the plane, and that was the one that collapsed. Um I should know all these details.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:06

I don't really know what happened with that. Well, that's what happened.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:08

There was the third building. It was obviously the twin towers. Yeah, but then there was the third building that was next to those that somehow also collapsed. And it's it's a mystery. It's a mystery because like well it was Why would it be a mystery?

SPEAKER_12 1:57:19

Because it wasn't hit by the plane. Right, but if the uh building's crashing in the ground, and the next building over could fall from the from the impact to the earth.

SPEAKER_03 1:57:29

I guess theoretically that's possible. Or it it could have been done on purpose.

SPEAKER_12 1:57:34

See, the things about like that, when you get into that kind of stuff, it's like you you either have to pretend you know a whole heck of a lot. Right, or you have to know a whole heck of a lot of things. I don't like either of those scenarios. I don't, I know, I'm not good at pretending like I know stuff and that's and then I don't know anything. No. So when you start talking about this building that's fallen, I'm like, dude, I don't know what you're talking about, but I know nothing about that. And uh we need to brush up on your conspiracy theories. We need what we need is what we need is we need Oklahoma bro to tell us his conspiracy theories his conspiracy theories and then end with and what are your conspiracy theories? Right. But maybe that's the real much. Maybe he's trying to not go down conspiracy theories. What about uh He's trying to suss out what are conspiracy theories? I don't we what can I talk about for hours? I can talk about pizza. Well, what's Pizzagate?

SPEAKER_03 1:58:28

That's my favorite conspiracy theory, Pizzagate. Don't pretend like you don't know what pizza gate is. Right. Uh uh a pet of uh uh an underage uh sex ring run by Hillary Clinton, specifically.

SPEAKER_12 1:58:44

But that was not true.

SPEAKER_03 1:58:46

Of course it wasn't true. That's what a conspiracy theory is.

SPEAKER_12 1:58:53

I mean, conspiracy theories just means that like there it's not settled on what you're people that think different things might be the case.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:01

That's true, right? Of course you got uh JFK assassination.

SPEAKER_12 1:59:04

But like but when you say like when I think of conspiracy theory, I think of the stuff you're talking about, like who killed JFK or or or the But the Pizzagate, like was uh like it's one thing to have a conspiracy like Pizzagate, right? Well there was no sex ring there, and this guy was crazy. Well, it was the pizza place, right? But when you talk about like JFK or whatever, it's not always quite that cut and dry because there's this evidence, and what about this or what about that? Yeah. I don't I just think you have to be like what like I don't know what it some kind of you have to be a different kind of person than me to like want to like study all that stuff and try to like make a decision on what's you know Sounds like you need to get in front of the computer and start getting on some YouTube videos. Uh I don't know. I there's nothing I could talk about for hours that's a conspiracy theory. What about Epstein? What about Epstein? Jeffrey Epstein.

SPEAKER_03 1:59:54

Epstein, did he uh commit suicide? Oh, that's a good one. Did he commit suicide or was he murdered? You tell me.

SPEAKER_12 2:00:00

Um You tell me You know, I've I I don't know enough about this whole story, like how he ended up in prison and what he ended up in prison for uh sexual abuse of my how he ended up in this particular jail with these particular guards on this particular day. Like there's so much we don't know, right? Right. Or I mean somebody knows. Obviously, there's people out there that think they know all of that. Right? And I'm sure that the facts do exist. But I just think about it more abstractly, like would he more have likely killed himself or would somebody have killed him? And I think I would probably lean like 51%. That he couldn't kill himself. Probably, right. Seems likely. No, no, no, no. That he that that he was murdered. That he was murdered. And it was frame, and it was like set up as a sewage. I think it's it's it's I think that's why it makes such a good conspiracy theory. Because one, you'll never know. Yeah, the tapes do not exist. Right. And two, it's probably a 50-50 chance. Either way. I mean, the people hated him and he hated himself. Whatever. Right. So yeah. Well, Oklahoma, bro, I hope we answered your question.

SPEAKER_03 2:01:06

We didn't really feel like we didn't. Yeah, I don't know. I'm just not, I guess same same thing with me. Like, I'm just not um following well-educated on what these theories are.

SPEAKER_12 2:01:16

The classic conspiracy theories. I think there's a certain kind of person who is drawn to conspiracy theories, you know. Oh, totally. Something that's like you know something that other people don't know. Right. You know, and you know because you've seen the evidence that other people haven't looked at. Right. Yeah, you do. I think what's most likely is like there's lots of evidence on both sides. Right. And there's just the like there's the theory of the case, there's like the given theory for something, and then there's the conspiracy theory, right? Yeah. And the given one that everybody accepts. Right, the generally accepted the generally accepted theory is just the one that makes the most sense. Yeah. Right? That building fell because these buildings fell. Yeah. That and so it and then I think the conspiracy theory person is somebody who's like, uh, you know, I they they but they just want to know, they want to go look at every single detail of why it might not have been that way, and then put more emphasis on those than they probably should have. But uh what about uh you know my favorite conspiracy theory is?

SPEAKER_04 2:02:18

No, I don't.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:19

The moon landing.

SPEAKER_04 2:02:20

Oh, that was nice. The moon landing. Yeah, that's interesting.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:24

The moon landing. It would not be possible. It would be because uh the radiation belt. You're telling me it's not possible. Well, I'm I'm just kind of um generally describing what the conspiracy theorists say. I do uh well, okay, let's let's let's let's uh let's get down to business. Cards on the table. Cards on the table. Was that fake or was that real in the the 1969 moon landing?

SPEAKER_12 2:02:46

I have always imagined it to be real because I've not seen any evidence to the contrary, and I grew up believing in that. Right.

SPEAKER_03 2:02:56

You know? So so when so so when people present evidence like, oh well, it would be it would be impossible for him to have a shadow because of the position of the sun or what you know, whatever. I don't know. Is there can are shadows possible on the moon? I don't know. Seems like they would be, right?

SPEAKER_04 2:03:11

I would think so. But I feel like some light hitting the moon.

SPEAKER_03 2:03:14

Or the one um what was the other one? It's just uh I don't know. I'm just trying to think of examples off the top of my head. There's the radiation belt, that's one.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:22

There's the um But like who knows anything about a radiation belt? I don't know. Like we don't know anything about it. Yeah, or the dude that lives down the street that was posted on Facebook about it.

SPEAKER_03 2:03:34

Well, that's that's my source of uh news and information. Oh my god. The guy down the street.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:39

I don't want to talk about conspiracy theories.

SPEAKER_03 2:03:42

It's too late.

SPEAKER_12 2:03:43

I don't know. Do conspiracy theories just they don't excite my mind at all. Pizzagate, that's my favorite. They just seem to scramble my mind. Um Pizzagate. You like because it has the word pizza in it. Yeah, totally. Yeah. And I also like it because of how absurd it is. Well, I like everything with a gate on it too, it makes it a little bit better. Right. Well, there's some other famous gates. You got Watergate, Watergate, of course.

SPEAKER_03 2:04:04

Uh Deflate Gate. Deflate gate. Like 10 years ago, everyone, no one would shut up about Deflate Gate. Now who's talking about it now? No one. What else? What else?

SPEAKER_04 2:04:13

There's another gate. There's a couple other gates. I feel like there's like a techie one of some kind.

SPEAKER_03 2:04:19

Yeah, there's probably like a thousand gates. Yeah. Which of course I can't think of.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:24

Uh it's alright. That's a hard one. That's a really obscure one. You don't hear that one. What about like uh Pizza Gate was a pizza gate?

SPEAKER_03 2:04:30

What about like um Monica Lewinsky and uh and Clinton? Did that have a name? Yeah. Like Penis Gate or something like that? I don't think so. Maybe not penis gate, but something gate.

SPEAKER_05 2:04:41

Maybe.

SPEAKER_03 2:04:42

Yeah, it should, it should. It needs one. Uh Lewinsky Gate. I wonder what that one is. Yeah, I think if they just refer to the Lewinsky thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um it needs a nickname though.

SPEAKER_12 2:04:53

So, Oklahoma Bro, we are chat, like we challenge you to send us a voice memo to test Buzz Prout's new system. Right, we gotta make sure it's working. So they say that now you can send voice over to us on your fan mail. So we're gonna uh we want you to test that feature out for us this next week. But send us the conspiracy theory. And then talk about your favorite conspiracy theory. And if you have evidence for your said theory, please present it in in I don't want hours, but we'll take a 15-minute you can give us you can give us 10 minutes or if you want on whatever is your conspiracy theory you love, and we will um have good more a lot more information than we sounds like we probably have right now. I mean, we just tried to touch on all the conspiracy theories that ever happened. Yeah, that was a lot for one episode.

SPEAKER_03 2:05:46

We came up with like four.

SPEAKER_12 2:05:48

Well, I came up with three gates, and one of them was Watergate.

SPEAKER_02 2:05:52

The OG gate.

SPEAKER_04 2:05:55

Oh my god. Um people are having problems in the parking lot.

SPEAKER_12 2:06:02

I think they're just worried about their car being too low and hitting the I don't I don't know these people, I just work here. I just I'm just I'm just picking up my lunch. Right. Don't ask me.

SPEAKER_03 2:06:13

We're not affiliated with Snaffle Pizza in any way. Um they don't know why they're doing this.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:23

They are complete newbies.

SPEAKER_03 2:06:25

You you know, it's funny that you say that because you could totally tell. Yeah. Like you could tell the newbies they're like obviously like like they're like lost in a daze. They're like walking around looking at.

SPEAKER_04 2:06:37

But and then they're in that little uh convertible black, convertible BMWs. So they've they've and they look like they're from South Florida. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_03 2:06:45

So they are driving uh probably through town. They found us online. They got they got out of their phone and they said, What's the best pizza in the day?

SPEAKER_12 2:06:51

And you know what? They looked here and they said, Bar take out toys, and they went up there, which was smart.

SPEAKER_09 2:06:55

And they're gonna go up there and they're gonna have the time of their lives.

SPEAKER_03 2:06:58

Yeah, they're gonna have the best uh dining experience of their lives.

SPEAKER_11 2:07:05

It won't be that much.

SPEAKER_10 2:07:07

Well, but with the price to foods going up.

SPEAKER_12 2:07:11

They get a couple of beers and everything. All right, what's our what's our mail situation? That's it. We covered it. That's it. That's only like 10 or 15 things in the mail. Yeah, deep mail, Ben. All right.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:22

Well, if I had something that I was really important, I probably would have sent it to you as an email. Right, which you usually do that.

SPEAKER_12 2:07:28

Sometimes I do that instead of uh keeping a Google Doc. Um all right. Well, I'm I don't know if I feel much better than I did when I started. I feel better mentally. Let's put it that way. Well, that's all that matters, really.

SPEAKER_09 2:07:44

But physically, I feel kind of like I need to go and lay down. Yeah. Yeah, I need to.

SPEAKER_03 2:07:48

It's been a long day. You got an early start today.

SPEAKER_12 2:07:50

I mean, the thing I'm coming to terms with is just the um uneven nature of the healing, right? Yeah. So like I have a day where I plant ten trees, you know.

SPEAKER_03 2:08:00

Right, and that's deceptive because you're like, oh, I'm good. I just went out and planted ten trees.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:03

Well, the next day I had to take it easy. But then yesterday, you know what? I did drive a lot yesterday.

SPEAKER_09 2:08:08

I drove to Jacksonville and back. That's probably not good for it to sell.

SPEAKER_12 2:08:12

I had to drive to Jacksonville and back and then Ukrainians are applying for um uh r renewing their visas. So that's why you had to go to Jacksonville? So these Ukrainians are neighbors, they came about September, two years ago. So September their visas up. Okay. So they want to extend their visa. He's gonna get, you know, he's gonna go to Santa Fe, college, and so they had to go apply. And you know how you apply? Huh? You drive to Jacksonville. That's a great system. You leave at six in the morning, you drive into Jacksonville, you sit in traffic outside of Jacksonville on a five-lane, ten-lane. Mine, my our lanes are five lanes, stop traffic, stop and go traffic to 30 minutes getting into Jacksonville. Terrible. With the sun and driving into Jacksonville on I-10. Directly in your face. The sun is straight in your eyes. And um and then and Jacksonville's never under construction. I will say that for the last 30 years, every time I've done it. I remember driving out. I was 10 years old. So this is 37 years ago? It was under construction. Yeah. Everywhere you go, it's under construction. That they don't have, they don't tell you what anyway. You don't know what exits or what. So we have to go. If you go to the office there, the immigration office, and you go in, you have your appointment, and they fingerprint you and take your picture and you give them your paperwork, and then you leave. You got to drive to Jacksonville to do that. Yep. What a pain in the butt. And they did that when they got here.

SPEAKER_03 2:09:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_12 2:09:31

They had to go check in. Right.

SPEAKER_03 2:09:33

So we they already have their fingerprint and they want to make sure their fingerprints are still the same.

SPEAKER_04 2:09:37

I don't know what they're doing, man.

SPEAKER_12 2:09:39

But so they they they're gonna find out. Like there's probably a 50-50 chance on that one, too. Like maybe they get sent back, maybe they get to stay. It's like according to who's doing the paperwork, probably. You know, a lot of things have turned political. Even this podcast half the time now. Yeah, now we're talking about conspiracy theories. I think Oklahoma is really trying to push us into like being a little more political. Like, oh, I know what I'll do, I'll ask them about workplace culture. Right. I'll ask them about conspiracy theories. We're gonna drag them into this political, like but we're for people. So we're we're gonna we can't, you know. But it's not just Oklahoma, bro, because it's true, we are for people because you got mad about the whole insurance thing because they brought up insurance. I'm still mad about it.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:20

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_12 2:10:22

Still mad about it.

SPEAKER_04 2:10:23

All right, well, here's the deal. It's been a good time.

SPEAKER_12 2:10:27

We had a good time.

SPEAKER_03 2:10:28

Had a great time. Thanks for lunch. That was amazing. Welcome. That hit the spot.

SPEAKER_12 2:10:32

We're gonna um You're gonna research. Here's what I want from you. Okay. I want you to research the closest Bucky's as you did. Uh where is it?

SPEAKER_03 2:10:41

Well, it's like it's gonna be off the. No, no, it's between Tongaspeen and Jacksonville. Oof. It's in that weird no man's. Two hours. Yeah, it's like a two-hour drive. It's uh uh International Golf Parkway. That you I know you know that exit off I-95.

SPEAKER_12 2:10:54

The other one is I really think we need to work on this um open letter to uh to Bucky's, yeah. I'm just Do you need to look at the postcard to write the open letter, or can you just m imagine it?

SPEAKER_03 2:11:03

I am yes, I can imagine it. Unfortunately, I can imagine it. Because if you would start it, I'll work on it too, and it'll be a collab. Right. And we need to uh we need to uh get get some answers here because if this is what Bucky's thinks it a postcard is, then we got problems.

SPEAKER_12 2:11:19

I think this postcard, I'm gonna go take a picture of this and I'm gonna put it on someone on like on Instagram. I was actually gonna put it on my ex account. It's the best place for X. Because if I put it on X, and then I I say open letter to Bucky's, and then we open the conversation, people are gonna let's talk about this postcard that they're gonna contribute to the conversation. Yeah. True. Yeah, that no called the crowdsourcingest open letter. Right. There we go. Oh, my X account. So that's what pink to the that's what's pink to the United States. Yeah, I guess I could try threads. Maybe that's the way to go. I've never been on threads. All right.

SPEAKER_03 2:11:56

Um so yeah, that was a great podcast.
