We had a yacht, a nice yacht adventure. Uh, if you missed that episode, please uh check the last one out.

SPEAKER_05 1:59

Happy early birthday to our girl Aaron, too.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Happy birthday is next Monday.

SPEAKER_05 2:04

So happy early birthday, Aaron.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

Yes, yes, happy birthday to everybody celebrating a birthday in May. If it's your birthday, happy birthday to y'all. So many birthdays in May. Yeah, a lot of birthdays in May.

SPEAKER_05 2:15

So our little brother was uh he's Cinco de Mayo, and the craziest thing was for the first like part of his career, he was a border patrol agent. I was like, what the hell are the odds that you're you're a border patrol agent with a Cinco de Mayo birthday? It's like that just doesn't sound right. He's no longer he's no longer border border patrol.

SPEAKER_00 2:36

So that's funny. It's ironic, huh? You know, just ironically. Um anyway, how was your how was your your two weeks off? What did you what were you up to?

SPEAKER_05 2:46

It was kind of the last couple weeks. I mean, I would say it was like super stressful, but I mean it's everything's always kind of stressful. Um insurance work's been a little bit low, but with Jazz Fest and prepping for Jazz Fest and helping everybody we can. Uh you know, it's just it's a lot. I got called in.

SPEAKER_00 3:03

Um driving safe and unless it accidents and I don't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_05 3:09

I don't know why it's really, really dead right now. I didn't reach it out to um some of my you know counterparts to see like, can y'all feed me more work? I was like, I'm getting hungry down here, you know what I mean? Feed me. Um it's dead everywhere other than hail storms. I was like, well that doesn't make no damn sense to me because I see a bunch of ignorant idiots on the road all day.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

Yeah, driving like I saw on the way here, there was a lady doing like 15 miles an hour down Broad. Broad Avenue. If y'all know Broad Avenue, that's not the street to go 15 miles an hour down. Somebody's gonna run into you. And Broad has a lot of accidents, so you gotta, you know, be careful. I don't know what she was doing. I don't know what she was doing.

SPEAKER_05 3:51

She has no idea what she was doing.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

I was like, she was 10 and 2 on the steering wheel though.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:57

Much older lady, I'm like, uh, at what point do we cut off the driving? Like, what do you do? You know, I should be an age.

SPEAKER_05 4:03

At a certain age, you have to have um, you know, you gotta redo your eye test, you gotta redo the the maybe the laws portion of it so you actually know because laws change, you know what I mean? And not dramatically, obviously, but like shit from sixty years ago ain't shit how it goes today. You know what I mean? People don't understand how a traffic circle works. People don't understand the zipper method for merging into traffic. That's uh that's it, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:29

The roundabouts, why is that so difficult for people to grasp? I can I can sit in that roundabout and I can go in a circle as many times as I want, and I I have the right away 100% of that. 100%. I don't care if I go around 30 times. I have the right of way if I'm in that circle.

SPEAKER_05 4:45

It's funny you say that.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

You have to yield. Everybody else got a way for me to quit going in circles. Yeah, I have the right of way. And people don't understand that's how it works. You just wait your turn and then you go. You don't get to the roundabout and just go and stop. Or you can't be in a circle and stop to the person that's yielding.

SPEAKER_05 5:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:02

So quick lesson for y'all.

SPEAKER_05 5:03

If anybody wondering uh how how you're taking a left across traffic and a median space, you go to the right side of it, not the left side of it. Like people just like don't understand.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

So you think we need to do a re so they should be a refresher every now and then?

SPEAKER_05 5:20

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

That'll be a pain in the ass. For people that know how to drive, it's like uh do it every 20 years.

SPEAKER_05 5:25

Every 20 years? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 5:27

Well, it's for all of them.

SPEAKER_05 5:29

I mean, give them a fucking 20 second 20 question quest. A quick 20 minutes.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

20 question quests.

SPEAKER_05 5:35

Test.

SPEAKER_00 5:36

All right. Time to roll the music now. Time to roll a music. We got the tongue twisters in the building.

SPEAKER_05 5:42

It's all light, man.

SPEAKER_00 5:43

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:44

Looks like it's gonna rain. I think it's gonna rain today and tomorrow.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

Shout out to the last shout out to the rain. Come on now.

SPEAKER_05 5:51

I'm here for it. I like the rain. Um, yeah. I think this is our last like two or so cool days for the year until it's really nice out right now.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

If you're not in New Orleans, Louisiana, it's really nice out. I wish I was uh uh here for the weather. It's very cloudy. It looked like it's gonna rain at any moment, but it looked like that for three days, so we love it.

SPEAKER_05 6:10

Yeah, it'll be a rainy Mother's Day, it looks like, but hopefully it'll hold off enough for if you're doing your last, you know, your last boils of the season or anything like that. You'd hopefully get some nice weather, some barbecueing.

SPEAKER_00 6:22

Come on, Mother's Day coming up. Give it up to all the mothers. Shout out to all the mothers.

SPEAKER_05 6:27

Get your mama something nice, some flowers, a a well-written card. Tell her you love her.

SPEAKER_00 6:32

Yeah, tell her how much you love her and appreciate her.

SPEAKER_05 6:37

Right. She didn't earth you.

SPEAKER_00 6:38

And if and if your mom is not here for you to tell her that, man, just uh just just you know what I mean? Send up a prayer to your mom or whatever you do to contact to contact your ancestors and let them know you love them, you still uh appreciate everything they've done for you.

SPEAKER_05 6:57

Yeah, I gotta work Mother's Day this year, so um I I actually have been doing this for the past few years that I've worked. I think I've worked probably four of the past five Mother's Day. And I always go to like Trader Joe's or or Whole Foods or something like that, and just pick up a bunch of really pretty flowers, a couple bouquets, like $50-60 worth of flowers, and I give them to every single lady that comes into the bar on Mother's Day. So everybody feels a little special on Mother's Day.

SPEAKER_00 7:24

Oh, look at Chuco. And you know what?

SPEAKER_05 7:27

That that $50-60 comes back to me.

SPEAKER_00 7:30

Tenfold, tenfold every time. Come on. Yep, we appreciate y'all though. Happy Mother's Day once again to all the moms and uh all the listeners that tune in to Rome and all you motherfuckers. Yeah. It's all good. We appreciate y'all. That is our little theme music. We love that song. Um, give it up for us. Yeah, it is lightning outside. Yeah, and I hope we don't lose power during this pod. I know that'd be weird, huh? Um y'all uh y'all uh the thundercrack. Oh, this is the thundercrack.

SPEAKER_05 8:04

Now we need the little Garth Brooks, the thunder rolls in the background.

SPEAKER_06 8:08

Hey, man. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05 8:12

But yeah, we're we're we're about to hit the doldrums of of summer here in New Orleans. You know, there's not too many things going on kind of for the summer. This is this is our kind of laid back time of the year. Yeah. Where it's it's it's slower in all the restaurants, it's slower in all the bars and everything like that. And slow in insurance claims, it's slow everywhere, so everybody's going on their vacations and you know, kids are out of school, so thank God there's no more school zones for the next two months.

SPEAKER_00 8:39

Yeah, hopefully. They still may take your picture though. They like taking your picture when you pass by. I don't know what that's about.

SPEAKER_05 8:46

They only do it in school zones now.

SPEAKER_00 8:48

Yeah, it's only because they know that's where they can get you, and it's like, nope, it's 20 miles an hour and it's posted, and you will go in 25, so you get a ticket.

SPEAKER_05 8:57

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 8:57

But no, you weren't speeding, but you go in you're speeding in the school zone.

SPEAKER_05 9:01

Yeah, I think they knocked them out for all the red lights. So there's no more red light cameras, but only school zone. But if there's a red light in a school zone, they can do that one. So like it's kind of stupid, but I mean I I get it, it is what it is. But that's one of the reasons why with my insurance business, I don't ever leave the house before 9 a.m.

SPEAKER_00 9:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:19

I'm not hitting those morning school zones.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

Yeah, I it and I try to miss it in the morning, but on the way home, I do run into it every every day.

SPEAKER_05 9:27

It just depends on how late I am, how far away.

SPEAKER_00 9:30

You get enough of those tickets, you get enough of those tickets, you know where the speed light cameras are. Come on, give it up for all of the speed light camera ticket getters.

SPEAKER_05 9:37

Our buddy Julian, man, he he would get so many bringing his daughter to school every morning. Close, actually, kind of close to where I am, but uh, I think he was getting them right on uh MLK, right there close to um Playbourne. Right um and uh I think that's where he said he would get them because he's gonna be able to get the biggest thing. Yeah, there's a school right there because broad is right there. Oh god, it sucks.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

Yeah, uh they everywhere they'll be able to do it.

SPEAKER_05 10:01

So we got I found him and I the plate, the um the coverings for the license plates. He was still getting I was like, How are you? He was still getting it. Yeah, and then somebody ripped mine off of my car at the bar. I saw pieces of it on the ground shattered. I was like, man, that's some bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 10:20

Man, fuck them tickets. I haven't gotten one though in a long time, so I got pissed because I was getting 23 and a 20, and I'm like, fuck y'all, come on, man. 23 miles and a 20. It should be calibrated five miles. If I was doing 25, then 25 and over rate. Yeah, 25 and over 23. Come on, man.

SPEAKER_05 10:41

Yeah, and also because there's variations in your odometers, right? Like, like your odometer says you're going 25, but you might actually be going 23.

SPEAKER_06 10:51

Right.

SPEAKER_05 10:52

Or vice versa. You know what I mean? I and then the reason I know that is because I drive a lot and there's a lot of those kind of radar things like on the causeway and shit like that. So when I'm on the causeway, my speedometer is set at 69.

SPEAKER_00 11:04

Yeah, you know, because it's and you set that cruise control, use that cruise control, and that shit worked.

SPEAKER_05 11:09

And every time I pass the radar, it says I'm going 67. So I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 11:13

So they calibrated a little bit under, you think, just for the readout, but it's probably. I wonder if they ever act, yeah. You don't know how that shit is calibrated. It pisses me off though. Anyway, let's move on to something more happier because uh something a little less random.

SPEAKER_05 11:27

Something a little less random.

SPEAKER_00 11:29

I know y'all ain't paying y'all tickets either.

SPEAKER_05 11:31

Um, so we talked about Jasper a quick second. We led up to it a lot over the past few weeks. Um, I did not go. I I know that sounds kind of lame.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

Yeah, because I know you wanted to see uh I really wanted to see Stevie um Stevie.

SPEAKER_05 11:50

You know what? I'm just gonna I've seen Stevie. I saw her a couple years ago, about three or four years ago or two, three years ago. And uh amazing, absolutely amazing show at uh Yeah, you were saying that last time.

SPEAKER_00 12:01

Absolutely amazing. You love those shows.

SPEAKER_05 12:03

But um I didn't get out there either. I saw the pictures, I was like, ah man, and everybody was like, it was magical because you know she's singing and all of a sudden it starts raining, and I can't remember what song she was singing when it was raining, but like every video I saw was like, you know, a daughter with her mom, and they're just like crying, singing Stevie in the rain, and like everybody was like, It was just so magical, it was beautiful, it was amazing. And I was like, ah, god damn it, I love Stevie.

SPEAKER_00 12:28

The last Saturday was uh no, Stevie was the first Saturday.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

No, it's the first time. Second Saturday was the Eagles. Yeah, it was sold out that day, and I think it's because they were honoring tickets from the rain-out. And I told y'all it was gonna rain, too. Yeah, Thursday and Friday. Ah, I got that one right. Listen to the previous podcast if you want to know what I'm talking about. I did mention a little bit of rain. It happens every year.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

I was working, it was a Monday. It don't matter.

SPEAKER_00 21:32

You still you can make drinks and ask Jeopardy questions.

SPEAKER_05 21:36

You understand how busy I am on Mondays, right? I really don't have time to really pay attention to Jeopardy at all. I can barely hear it, and most people are just, you know, reading it and and screaming out. They're pretty good about keeping it down a little bit so they can try to hear it, but um it was on a Monday. I'm getting my ass kicked as I always do. And um the category was lakes, and what it did is it gave you two cities. On the lake, and it was Kenner Slidell. And I wasn't like everybody's like. So I had to take a picture out of the bar, me pointing up to the Jeopardy screen, showing the Slidell clue.

SPEAKER_00 22:18

Nice. Well, your friends and everybody in Slidell. Did they acknowledge you out there?

SPEAKER_05 22:26

Yeah, of course. Sure. I'm going camping with it. Maybe at the end of the month.

SPEAKER_00 23:32

No.

SPEAKER_05 23:32

Not the boobs and the personality.

SPEAKER_00 23:34

The shit that flies out of your head, man.

SPEAKER_05 23:36

Sometimes I'm just like I was born without a filter.

SPEAKER_00 23:40

That's booze, though. Give it up for boozey. Come on, y'all. Who's my audience at?

SPEAKER_05 23:46

Can I tell you how like happy I have been since the start of baseball season? Like the first couple weeks, I was like, man, this team is garbage. Like shit.

SPEAKER_00 23:55

And you're referring to your cubs. My cubs, obviously.

SPEAKER_05 23:58

And uh, man, have they been the best team in baseball really for the past three plus weeks. I'm telling you, they went, they right now their record is 21 out of the last 24 games. They ran a 12-game run uh 12-game win streak, three, they lost three, and then they won. They're on a nine-game win streak right now.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

Nine games.

SPEAKER_05 24:22

Nine games.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

They go down to Texas to play the Rangers for a three-game, and then we finally get a day off.

SPEAKER_05 24:29

But we've won 15 straight games at Wrigley Field.

SPEAKER_00 24:32

Damn, that's impressive. Oh man, it sounds like it's coming. Oh, it's coming down outside, man. Give it up for the rain. The rain is coming down. They said it was we were gonna get it about an inch or an inch and a half or two of rain. That's not enough. Um can't even feel it. It's a it's enough for me. Um my level of work right now, uh, I I depend a lot on the weather, on how my day goes.

SPEAKER_05 24:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:57

The rainier it is, it seemed like the worse my day goes.

SPEAKER_05 25:00

Oh no.

SPEAKER_00 25:01

Yeah, actually, um uh over the past couple weeks, uh, Rome did take a break, and y'all y'all know we had a two-week little uh hiatus right quick on y'all head, but um this is oh oh anyway. Uh anyway, I was uh I was uh I I was fortunate enough to work on some movies and um one of those days, man, it was the last day of the last movie I was.

SPEAKER_05 25:27

Was that the vampire one that they're filming? Or is that a different one?

SPEAKER_00 25:31

Uh it's not that one. And I wish I could tell you all about it, but I signed. Uh I signed the NDA and Rome need the money, so hey, I can't tell you all about it. But you'll know. You'll know in about a year. I'll remind y'all with some photos or whatever. Um, but yeah, man, was fortunate enough to get caught out in the rain. And that whole last night was just completely miserable, but we had a great time making some pretend well.

SPEAKER_05 25:58

I was gonna say, did it affect the shot?

SPEAKER_00 26:00

Um no. Well it did kind of. And I feel I feel so bad for actors who have to like perform in no matter what the conditions are. At hard. And they and they have to uh you know, they can't wear a jacket. I have a jacket on and a raincoat, and I'm bitching about the weather, but they have to they get no raincoat when we roll a camera. Yeah, and they have to perform and act and pretend like they're doing whatever they're doing, and they completely get rained on. It's terrible. Shout out to actors and actresses with uh combined.

SPEAKER_05 26:34

Thanks for entertaining us.

SPEAKER_00 26:36

Yeah, thanks for for being um, you know who you are because movies are important. I think um it's a form of expression, and like it takes you out of the normal world of whatever you going through in your normal life and bringing you into a completely imaginary place that really doesn't exist in this world. We create it, and so all the creatives out there, man. Shout out to y'all because y'all make it happen, and all the good movies and TV shows that's out right now, y'all should be watching.

SPEAKER_05 27:09

There's so many good albums.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

Appreciate that art form because acting is is one of those things like you have to be really into what you're doing. You can't just, you know, you can't fuck around. It's like this podcast. You gotta be really into it. I'm boozy. Back me up. Back me up.

SPEAKER_06 27:28

What?

SPEAKER_00 27:29

See how serious, see how serious we are about this podcast? That's how you have to be if you're an actor, uh, actress, or a director, or a cinematographer like myself. Um, yeah, man, a lot going on. Uh and that whole that whole two weeks was a blast. Uh, shout out to all the film crew and all the people keeping their heads up in the film world because it's not a lot of work for us right now. And uh there's people transitioning into other careers, which is you know, it's sad because it's like we lose family members, you know.

SPEAKER_05 28:00

The film industry has changed so much over the past few years. Like it was so lucrative for the state, for for the people, like for everything for the economy. Literally, it was such a driving force, and it just disappeared like overnight, it feels like.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

I think streaming fucked it all up, but I'm not gonna put any I mean, it is what it is right now. There's no no real need to complain.

SPEAKER_05 28:24

Streaming's got you fucked up, AI's got me fucked up.

SPEAKER_00 28:26

Like oh, right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Damn, I didn't even think about that.

SPEAKER_05 28:32

Oh yeah, dude. Yeah, dude. It like I mean, not talking, but I mean, over the past three years, the I've taken damn near a 50% full pay cut because that's just how much we've lost business to um these these AI programs writing, you know, fo photos based off S I mean estimates based off of photos. So instead of getting expertise, I've got 18 years in the business.

SPEAKER_06 29:00

Right.

SPEAKER_05 29:01

But they don't want that because they don't want to pay my little fee.

unknown 29:04

Right.

SPEAKER_05 29:04

My little and it's a little fee. It ain't even huge. A tiny fee. A little, but a lot of a lot of those little fees, a lot of those little fees add up really good.

SPEAKER_00 29:12

Yeah. Um, it sucks, man. But it's all in how the world is working right now.

SPEAKER_05 29:18

That's why I got this this side gig.

SPEAKER_00 29:21

You gotta keep a side gig. Shout out to everybody with a side gig. I don't know the last time I worked.

SPEAKER_05 29:28

I I really don't know the last time I worked just one job. You can't I mean I was probably a teenager, but uh even then, I mean, going to school and a job, you know, school is enough of a job, you know.

SPEAKER_00 29:39

And if you invested your time in school enough, I think um I think it'll pay off like as far as a job that you can only you only would need one job.

SPEAKER_05 29:48

It's really sad that we have to have so many forms of income at this point of our lives.

SPEAKER_00 29:53

And shout out to my daughter, Paige. What's up, Paige?

My oldest biological niece uh and my goddaughter, she turns she's a senior next year, and I'm just going, oh my god, how? Like, it happened for how are you 16? Where I'm like, I'm still 29. Like, I don't want to see.

SPEAKER_00 30:52

Look, I'm still 25, 26. Come on now. All my 26s.

SPEAKER_05 30:57

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the nieces and nephews think I'm still young. Right.

SPEAKER_00 31:03

Nah, um, nah, it's funny to see how fast they grow and how and which way they go in life, and she took it seriously. She that she put our all into it, and she's getting her nursing degree. She's she'll be working uh with the VA um hospital uh uh for a few years. Yeah, and and so she'll she'll be and she wants to go into trauma in ER, so she wants to be busy and active.

SPEAKER_05 31:27

Speaking of that, did she watch um The Pit? The Pit is our favorite show. She loves it.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

She loves it. Uh can't tell her nothing.

SPEAKER_05 31:37

Yeah, my sister is a um, she teaches kind of the how do I put it? It's it's it's a program for high school where you learn all the skills to be an EMT, and at the end of the year you take the EMT test, and you're as soon as you're out of high school, you can become an EMT on a track.

SPEAKER_06 31:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:55

Um, but she's a full she's a certified paramedic. She's done that for a very long time. She was gonna go to med school, but uh decided she wanted to stay here and close and and just kind of do it this way.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

And um it's crazy that all of our set medics are EMTs. Every single uh set medic that's on a movie set is an EMT.

SPEAKER_05 32:16

They're not a paramedic?

SPEAKER_00 32:18

No, they're EMTs.

SPEAKER_05 32:20

Okay. Yeah. That's weird.

SPEAKER_00 32:22

I would expect at least one paramedic, but I mean, I don't know if they creep in there, but but most of them are trained in emergency situations. It's all about look, whatever some shit goes on, we need some person to put somebody. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 32:34

In EMTs and paramedics, they just have a slightly different yeah, they just have so paramedics are basically the doctors on the ambulance, and the emts are basically the nurses on the ambulances. So that's what I'm saying. Normally, like in the fire department, like the fire department, most of those fire firemen are certified EMTs and or paramedics. Like a lot of them do parameters.

SPEAKER_00 32:55

Well, I don't I don't I don't know what the uh if all the letters line up to what and who's over what, but emts uh I I think are um essential because it's not always a super extreme.

SPEAKER_05 33:08

No, no, no, no, no, no, absolutely.

SPEAKER_00 33:10

So we don't need uh you know what I mean. We have a fire chief and like there's somebody from the fire department and then there's somebody from the EMT service that can respond to something if something happens. But totally. Basically, we just get advil and you know, shit like that. Yeah, band-aids and fucking can you get you have any lotion? Do you have any, you know, motherfuckers ask the the paramedic, uh I mean the uh set medic for just about any chapstick, anything. They have it all, they have a kit of every single thing you could possibly do. Shout out to all of uh the set medics of y'all listening. Hey, just medics in general, medics in general, and anybody, any people out there that's that work on saving lives, um, we appreciate y'all. So shout out to y'all.

SPEAKER_05 33:57

Nice.

SPEAKER_05 44:21

Just what we all need to do.

SPEAKER_00 44:22

Closer to proximity. You gotta be close to your water and hold.

SPEAKER_05 44:26

We ran into a lot of people. That's that's our spot, man. That's I'm trying to convince you to come back more, but not all the time. Yeah, we gotta have boundaries. But man, we had so much fun last night in just that short little time we were there.

SPEAKER_00 44:39

Um it's a great place to hang out, man, meet people and uh and chill. Pells is uh definitely a vibe for sure, man. Shout out to all our friends we saw yesterday.

SPEAKER_05 44:49

It's literally like three or four different bars, right? You've got the rendin side of the bar, which is like everybody.

SPEAKER_00 44:56

But you break that one bar up into three bars.

SPEAKER_05 44:58

Yeah, and then you got like the St.

SPEAKER_00 44:59

Phillip side, and you got like inside.

SPEAKER_05 45:02

You got yeah, the degenerates on the rendon side. That's that's you know, the stoop.

SPEAKER_00 45:06

That's the stoop, and then you got inside, and then you got inside, which is a and then you have the back of inside, which can be a whole different thing. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_05 45:13

It's like four, it's like four different places.

SPEAKER_00 45:15

Yep. Shout out to them, uh, and uh all the bartenders over there, um, and all the supporters, I just all the supporters and friends, yeah.

He was so busy, you know what I mean? It's like, but to to have that, that's a dream job to work with your mom. You you appreciate that later in life, I bet. I mean, if I ever had a gig with my mom, I know I'd love it because I know my mom's personality and she's funny and she got a sense of humor. I don't know where I you know why I'm so boring.

SPEAKER_05 45:55

I think me and my mom would butt heads a little too much to work to be super close proximity. I love my mama, she's my mama.

SPEAKER_00 46:02

Right.

SPEAKER_05 46:03

But we got we got y'all too much alike. That's what we are not. Oh, really? We are not.

SPEAKER_00 46:08

It's usually when you're alike too much alike.

SPEAKER_05 46:10

Yeah, we are we are heads kind of polar opposites, honestly.

SPEAKER_00 46:13

Really? Yeah, I can see that. But y'all might be more alike than you think.

SPEAKER_05 46:17

I mean, sure, we got some things.

SPEAKER_00 46:19

We got some things, but I'm sure other people notice it.

SPEAKER_05 46:24

I'm more like my dad.

SPEAKER_00 46:25

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_05 46:26

Yeah. The people that knew my dad when he was alive, yeah. Um, they're like, Jam, you're just like Ronnie.

SPEAKER_00 46:32

I was like, I bet I can probably see that. I was like, that's crazy that somebody You're a little rough around the edges, Bruce. You'll tell a motherfucker quick. Like, you don't care who around, too. You'll like you'll see some fuck you, motherfucker. I've seen you behind the bar like this, cursing motherfuckers out who gave you any kind of shit. Like, and it's just so funny because they don't expect that reaction.

SPEAKER_05 46:54

You know, you know my favorite thing I've ever told a customer. This was this was a really rude customer. And if you don't like vulgar language, you know, mute it for the next 15 seconds. I had this guy come to me and he was harassing me. This was a long, long time ago. And he was just harassing me and he was telling me how to do my job or whatever. I said, I looked him straight in the face and said, Do I come to your fucking job and slap the dick out of your mouth?

SPEAKER_00 47:16

Right.

SPEAKER_05 47:16

I said, Shut the fuck up and let me do my job.

SPEAKER_00 47:18

Yeah. Don't come to my job. And he was just like slapping cock out all of your out of all of your face, man. Come on, booze little. The whole bar just looked at me like I was like, Yeah, it's it's is uh and that's a when you hit a a person with that, a rude person with that, it's like, don't tell me what the like how to go about this.

SPEAKER_05 47:37

I don't come to your job and like yeah, to do so uh jazz only had one set of customers. It was two older ladies that were like, they kept waving their drink at me. I said, That's a surefire way to not get a drink. I was like, I've got a method, I'll get to you when I get to you, and if you don't like it, you can leave.

SPEAKER_00 47:52

Did you learn them? Did you learn them? They learned they learned, they wasn't they left learned.

SPEAKER_05 47:56

A male companion that was with them, they're like, uh, she's kicking ass. Shut up, she'll get to you. I was like, Thank you, sir.

SPEAKER_00 48:02

Well, shout out for people who recognize uh hard workers, and we do recognize Patrice and her son. They work hard, they do that pop-up all the time. They're very consistent, and they uh I've literally they work, they work to try. And and I had the Smash Burger, I didn't talk about it, but I had the Smash Burger, and I gotta say, hey, hey, it's a big look at the Instagram pictures. We have photo proof. Go to the Instagram, like, like our photos, man. Tell a friend about our show, tell a friend about the uh the uh podcast and the Instagram and all of the different places we've been so far. We like to give y'all, we like to give y'all good places to go. And we go ahead and try them out for y'all so y'all don't have to uh second guess or wonder how good it is. And you can take our word for it. We got pinch-proof to every every place we've been.

SPEAKER_05 48:54

And I think one of the best compliments that uh I I feel is when people come up to me and be like, Man, I tried that spot you were talking about and it was. Or I want to try it.

SPEAKER_00 49:04

And they like, man, I still haven't went to, you know, whatever. So yeah, yeah. Dude, that was like last that was last season. You know what I mean? Like the third pod on the last season. I know somebody uh recently in Booze, I'm not even joking, told me three days ago that they tried barbecue for the first time. They was like, man, I went to Pal's and there was this pop-up barbecue that was there, and I heard about them on your podcast, but I never tried it. I finally tried it and it was so good. Y'all check that episode out. Uh I think that was what, the second or no, that was the first one. Yeah, that was the first one at Pal's. Yeah, not the yeah.

SPEAKER_05 49:40

We had that intro episode that was only like 10-15 minutes long, but that was the first like official episode. First official episode last season.

SPEAKER_00 49:47

Go check out all of those episodes. We'll talk all about all the food we try around the city and why you should try it. This is definitely a spot you should try Cupcake Kitchen. It sounds like uh it sounds like it's a bunch of sweets. You would think it's uh like a dessert. It's very deceptive.

SPEAKER_05 50:05

It's the title is a is deceptive, but it's her brand. It's you know, she's she's been rocking that brand now for 12 years. You know, so it's it would be I mean, it's not impossible, but why why change something that's working if you've got if you've got recognition based on this brand, there's no point in changing it. I mean, that's no need. That's marketing 101.

SPEAKER_00 50:26

Um shout out to them, but uh, I mean, no matter what the name is, the food is delicious. Well, I'll definitely be back there for the mac and cheese.

SPEAKER_05 50:35

I know, and you're not a cheesy person, too.

SPEAKER_00 50:38

Nope, because I love cheese with and dairy, but dairy don't necessarily put it.

SPEAKER_05 50:42

I don't think dairy gets along with a lot of people. We as uh humans are not supposed to are not supposed to consume as much dairy as we do.

SPEAKER_00 50:49

I love dairy too. Yeah, me too. I love stinky ass cheese too. She'll always give me shit. I want the stinkiest cheese. Give me that stinky, like if when there's a cheese tree, yeah, I want the stuff like I look for the stinkiest looking piece of cheese, and that's the one that tastes the best. Yeah, man. Let's go. But uh, if I eat too much, yeah, of course, it uh it'll it'll back me up. Uh you know, I gotta I gotta do that. Yeah, we don't have to get in the detail.

SPEAKER_05 51:20

Come on, huh?

SPEAKER_00 51:21

Yeah, uh but yeah, the mac and cheese over there is fire. Make your way over there and get the delicious get the uh catch a special, maybe some oxtail uh type of.

SPEAKER_05 51:30

She's popping up a lot at PALs over the next month. Uh we unfortunately we unfortunately lost one during Jazz Fest. Um code enforcement, I guess, was riding around the city, and they're basically telling every freaking bar and pop-up that wasn't a food truck, if it was a food trailer, that they could not pop up. They have to have a permit. And you can't get a permit for a trailer, you can only get it for a truck that has the engine. So they literally uh we had a pop-up that was there for every um a pop-up that was there every Saturday and Sunday night. We no longer can have them unless they get something mobile.

SPEAKER_00 52:07

And I know I know exactly who you're talking about. Damn, that's terrible.

SPEAKER_05 52:10

And I like them, they're really, really great guys. The hot bots.

SPEAKER_00 52:13

I'm hoping they can great burgers.

SPEAKER_05 52:15

They have really good burgers. I love their baked potatoes with the all the stuffing in it, and like that was a potato for two or three meals, man. But um, I hope everything works out for them and they can get something worked out because that's I think that's really shitty on the city, but you know, it is what it is.

SPEAKER_00 52:30

But they gotta drag it down no matter what, you know.

SPEAKER_05 52:33

There's rules or reasons, and most of those that those reasons are money.

SPEAKER_00 52:38

But well, in better news, uh, cupcake kitchen is there if y'all need them.
