George Milton:

It's pretty nice. It's pretty nice outside, man. It's, it's like, uh, mid-October, probably in the eighties, outside.

Brent:

Uh, gotta

justin:

Hold on me. Lemme check. Yep. Yeah, it's about the eighties.

George Milton:

Yeah, Justin's holding his finger up in the air. So in your hotel room it's 80 degrees. Wait, are you in a hotel?

No, my buddy's, uh.

George Milton:

Okay. I was gonna

His,

George Milton:

there's a lot

Brent:

his buddy's trying to save some money.

George Milton:

Yeah, that's cool, man. Uh, guys, I have had like no sleep since two days ago, and I'm gonna tell you why I told

Brent:

don't know the reason

George Milton:

of, I'm gonna tell you, God, I'm gonna tell you, Brent, I just got back from O'Donnell, Texas where I played bass in a, for a wedding, LA yesterday. Yeah.

Brent:

Can you give me landmark of

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

would be such?

George Milton:

First of all, nobody's fucking heard of O'Donnell.

Brent:

Right. That's my point.

George Milton:

heard of O'Donnell. So one of the ladies at the wedding, I maybe the, I don't know, maybe the mother of the bride, one of the ladies there was like, so what do you boys think of O'Donnell, Texas? I was like, frankly, I'd never heard of it. It's about it. To be frank, it's about what I expected. You know, when it's about what I expected when I first heard about it two days ago. Now, this is probably my fault. The, the guy who, uh, the guy who organized the gig claims that he sent the, the address like months ago when it got booked. But I don't, I didn't record it anywhere otherwise I probably would've said, no, I'm not going to O'Donnell Texas for, it's, it's almost in Lubbock, Brent. like, imagine, yeah. Imagine driving from, yeah. Imagine driving from Austin to Lubbock to play like three hours and.

Brent:

play for

George Milton:

you're right. I should, so I, I've, I've done that plenty. I've done that plenty of times as well. So maybe that's the, but I guess imagine thinking that you were gonna play in Austin. just imagine just having it in your head that you're gonna play in Austin on Saturday and then on Thursday. Yo, well, six, six hours from here to O'Donnell. And, and so he's sending out, uh, he was like sending out the address and he is like, oh, sorry. The address pin doesn't work. Uh, let me send this, let me just send the GPS coordinates. And it's like you put in the GPS coordinates, so it's like, oh, there's no roads out here. Um. I'm like, okay, that's cool. Are you sure? All right, that's fine. Yeah. Um, and I was like, what the fuck? I gotta drive, know, six hours plus, uh, I'm just winding right now, but like, plus I'm, I, I drive an electric car now, which means I have to stop and charge like three times between here and O'Donnell, Texas. Yeah, so I, so like, and again, I could have probably like ridden with somebody from here. Like we could have carpooled from here, but I didn't wanna get there early and I didn't wanna stay late. like being a real, like, once I was like, oh shit, oh, Donald's most of the way across the state. a real baby about it. I was like, I was like, I'm gonna get there.

Brent:

a good

George Milton:

Yeah, I, I, Brent and I should have, you know, because I'm gonna tell you what they don't have a lot of out near O'Donnell, Texas is, uh, there don't a lot of car chargers out that way.

Brent:

not

George Milton:

Yeah.

justin:

that off the, uh, that's off of Elon's map, right? So they don't, he was like, oh, fuck that place.

Brent:

O'Donnell, it's the kind of outward

George Milton:

Yeah, I, I mean, not

justin:

I am gonna veto, hold on. I'm gonna veto O'Donnell Texas. That's just, I'm just vetoing it right now. I'm playing one of my cards. We're we're Vetoing O'Donnell, Texas.

George Milton:

uh, I, okay. Okay. You're vetoing my story about O'Donnell, Texas or

justin:

No, I'm not. I'm just vetoing the place. I'm not vetoing your story. I just, just a place we don't have to go there

George Milton:

right.

justin:

ever again.

George Milton:

all of our listeners who are from O'Donnell, Texas, you heard

Brent:

All of you,

George Milton:

Yeah. No, you're not. No, you're

Brent:

or should we say either of you if we're talking about their whole population?

George Milton:

Either of you. Anyway, the whole point is. I just, I got like a two hour nap and I, when I got back, I, oh, Brent, I drove straight back. We played till 1:00 AM this morning was like, I was like, fuck O'Donnell, Texas, which doesn't even exist anymore apparently. and I drove, uh, I drove straight back and by straight back I mean that, uh, I, I slept for like two and a half hours in the parking lot of an HEB and

justin:

Did you get some tortillas when you woke up? Because that feels like it'd be worth it.

George Milton:

I was like, I did go into HEB, uh, I did go into the HEB when I woke up and I was all like, I mean, you know how like when you, I don't know when the last time you guys slept in your car in the middle of nowhere Texas was, but like, man, I was disoriented when I got up.

justin:

No Horizon line. He's like, I can't see where, where am I going? It's just sky everywhere.

George Milton:

Well my, well also my, also my car was covered from like driving the middle through the middle of the night through like, know, just the planes of West Texas. There's just like so many bug splats on my that I can't even see. Like I'm like my head's cocked over to the side to try to see it around all the bug splats.

justin:

I mean, for all the listeners who's never driven through West Texas, don't.

George Milton:

It's,

justin:

is. There is nothing out there for hours and hours and hours and hours. It's just

George Milton:

And you can just see, uh, like, you, you can see there, we, I drove through a lot of cotton fields, a lot of wheat fields, and you could just see for like. It's so flat, you can see for like probably 20 or 30 miles and you know what's 20 or 30 miles away. Nothing.

Brent:

I

George Milton:

Anyway. And you just got, you got back to Austin on Friday and then you just went back out to LA and got there

justin:

Yeah.

George Milton:

of hours ago.

justin:

Yeah. I feel like I have it. I'm like, where's my home?

George Milton:

What are you doing out there? Like, what are you shooting this

justin:

What do you, I never know what I'm doing. Never know. What are you doing up there, mom? Meatloaf.

George Milton:

Yeah. Pretty good. Pretty good. Um, what are you doing? Are you shooting something?

justin:

Yeah, I'm doing a, uh, we're doing a tech convention thingy, um, for the techie space. Not allowed to talk about it, but

George Milton:

Oh,

Brent:

I,

George Milton:

Brent:

Yeah.

justin:

No, this is, this is just, this is just, uh, this is more hardware stuff than like actual, you can make money on it.

George Milton:

You can make, you can't make money on hardware. That's cool.

justin:

I don't think so. I don't think you can invest in it. I don't think you can buy it into it. wrong.

George Milton:

Brent, what have you been up to, man? Did you have you played a

Brent:

I've been getting so much sleep. Uh, lately. It just, it's so nice.

George Milton:

George Milton:

we love products, man. I love products. You know me.

Brent:

hardware, so I can't make

justin:

good product.

Brent:

but,

George Milton:

Uh, it's hardware. You hit'em right in the soft spot. Justin, did you know that?

justin:

Well, if you own the company, yeah, you can make money off it

George Milton:

Uh, well, okay. this is a variety show. know if, if you guys haven't. guys haven't started, uh, if this is your first episode of Veto the podcast, I'm really sorry. I usually have a little more sleep. I don't know what we're doing today.

justin:

and never know what he's doing, guys.

George Milton:

uh, trying to get, I'm trying to find a dice.

justin:

We can use a random, a number actuator, uh, thing in a jigger from ai.

George Milton:

No, no ai. We're not AIing. This one, I got a dice right here.

justin:

Ooh.

George Milton:

is a six sided dice. So, uh, on a one or two, first. I'm gonna do the first segment. So, uh, three or four is gonna be Justin. or six is gonna be Brent. Here we, here we go. Here we go.

Brent:

I'm nervous.

George Milton:

that's a five.

Brent:

me.

George Milton:

Yeah. Yeah. Brent. Brent won

Brent:

uh, that means you know what? Let's, decide the

George Milton:

man.

Brent:

of, if we're the, the, just that are the pinnacles trends that you've really seen of that. let me say it because this'll be, this'll be a hot take considering the members who we have a thing, but, uh, the bringing back of the mullet is gonna be mine. That's what I out there.

George Milton:

Wow.

justin:

mean. They are the most beautiful, majestic hairstyle that has ever been or ever will be.

Brent:

Yeah.

justin:

Not only is it versatile, but it's classy.

Brent:

no, you're right about those things,

justin:

for a good time and a long time.

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

but how, how do you not look like you're trying to reembody Billy Ray Cyrus while doing it? I mean, are, is it just,

justin:

There's, I mean, I think there's a difference, right? Like, so there's levels to, are you going like European soccer mullet, or are you going Joe dirt day mullet?

Brent:

Oh

justin:

That's where the, it's all about the length. It's dirt day. It's like the angle and the dangle. It's like, is it a mud flap? Or if it is just a little like glistening in the wind.

Brent:

that's just obviously bad you try to like, let's sell us on something. What, what else? What should be up there? Then let's, if not, if not for the mullet,

George Milton:

uh.

justin:

the, the, the comeback of like super oversized, baggy 90 style clothing, I feel like is pretty bad.

Brent:

an interesting topic.

George Milton:

that.

Brent:

Yeah, like I, what's weird to me about that is because that was very much my style then, but anytime I try to dabble with that style, now everything about me says this is not for you anymore. So.

George Milton:

No, I have to. Brent, I'm really sorry man, because I can tell that you're passionate about this, to veto your selection of the mullet. I'm gonna use one of my two veto cards. So you gotta pick, sorry. You gotta pick a, pick another. Worst fashion trend.'cause I

Brent:

okay. Fair enough.

George Milton:

mul. I like the mullet so much. I, you, I, I don't think both of you guys are, but are, are pretty, like hair gifted. I would say if I

justin:

Your Follicly challenged, would you say?

George Milton:

well, like, if I could grow a mullet, you know, if I could grow a mullet today that wasn't a, I would absolutely do it. Like I'm

justin:

I feel like you should get a

Brent:

Johnson.

justin:

should get a skull.

George Milton:

yeah.

justin:

I'm gonna get some for, for Halloween. We're gonna get some tape on and we're just going to, we're gonna put a nice mole on the back there for you.

George Milton:

Okay, that's all. We'll pick another one, Brent.

Brent:

because

George Milton:

Oh, the Broers? Uh, yeah,

Brent:

B, the Brom? Yes. Uh,

George Milton:

no, sorry, it was two. There's two schools of thought about that. I feel

Brent:

okay.

George Milton:

an argument about that. It's either it. I don't, I, I don't, I thought I, no, I thought about getting one as, as though like, like I'm wearing this sarcastically, but I'm not gonna tell anybody that. But it's either Broer or romp him.

justin:

Rob him. Yep. The rob him is a thing.

Brent:

Yeah. Oh, uh, well,'cause brom hy a little more rapey

George Milton:

uh, yeah.

justin:

I think they're just a bad look. I think they're just a bad look on guys. Like guys aren't made to wear like your moose knuckle full like

Brent:

what I'm saying.

justin:

and just, I think you

Brent:

on

justin:

a winner there. We have an, we have an agreement on this one.

George Milton:

bad There. There was a, there was a period of time, as you guys know, I've been in like the, the retail grocery industry for like the last God, way too long. But to a bunch of those sorts of trade shows and so, uh, most brands will come up with like a uniform for trade shows. They're gonna be like, for, for a while it was like all denim and we did it too, where it was like you wear jeans and you have a denim shirt and it's all denim. Like was a, there was a period of time in the mid, like 2000 teens where it was like denim on denim was, was a big trend for like two

justin:

Canadian tuxedo. Everyone loves a Canadian tuxedo.

George Milton:

I do too. I feel I, I do as well. I think it's still a good look. And then there was a period where like the romper was like the thing that all these brands were doing. So it was like, like the onesie for men and for women, and I was just like, Ugh. Just terrible. I hate'em.

justin:

George, you just inspired me to, like for our Christmas jingle walk,

George Milton:

yeah.

justin:

we might have to get matching romp hims, like straight up, ironically,

George Milton:

I,

justin:

walkabout.

George Milton:

yeah, I would. So I would a hundred percent. This is one of those trends that I would like a hundred percent do it, ironically, but I do hate it, know?

justin:

So that sounds like we're doing it for Christmas. Let's go.

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

I mean,

George Milton:

I was thinking, I was thinking, I feel like there's two think are equally silly and they're both, they're both around what has happened around the midsection of pants. So there was, there was one trend that I think was like a. I think maybe it was Justin Bieber who kind of brought it in. It was that thing with the like super low crotch in like

Brent:

right. Mm-hmm.

George Milton:

that they were, it wasn't that you were wearing the pants low. It's the, the part, it's like the, the part where they like cut the legs just would go, it would be right above your knee. And so it was like the pants would beat.

Brent:

drawers.

George Milton:

Yeah, exactly. It was like the pants, the waistline would be at your waist, right? And then, but, but then the, the pants would connect like right above your knees and it just looked, it's just like, it makes me mad to think about, and I actually like. here's a, here's like a, you should never order clothes off, off Amazon but like some sweatpants. I was just like, having a pair of sweatpants, just an old school pair of just like. Hot and ass like cheap sweatpants.

Brent:

sure.

George Milton:

ordered some off Amazon and I don't think that the pictures quite did it justice, but they were, that style of, it was like that style it was like tapered at the ankles and then it just came together. Really. And I, and I kept to like just, I feel like, okay, I paid like 20 bucks for these. I suck at returning stuff online. Like I just suck at it. I'll

Brent:

Me too.

George Milton:

it.

Brent:

do. It's returning is, it to as close as

justin:

That's basically what the stores do now too. They're like, just don't bring it back. Just keep it, we'll give you your money. Just we don't want it.

George Milton:

we don't wanna deal. We, we've never known how to deal with returns. And we're just gonna tell you now, we're just gonna tell you that we don't know. We don't know what to do with'em. We just burn'em. When you bring'em back, we burn them and we just give you your money back. So it's good for the environment. We, uh, we burn'em in, but the other, the other one that I'm like having trouble, I'm having trouble deciding which one I hate more. But like, whenever they started building, guess the right way to say it is like butt cleavage in to like women's like pants. Do you guys Yeah. Yes, yes. Like the butt cleavage build in and it's like, I

Brent:

Man, I

George Milton:

yeah. Uh.

Brent:

prefer I can. You

George Milton:

Okay. I can't, yeah, I can't. Unless I'm gonna burn my other veto card. To veto your veto then?

Brent:

I those things.

George Milton:

Yeah.'cause they're up in there. They're really up in there. I feel like it's, I, I, I mean I, I'm, I'm throwing it out. I'm just gonna, I'll tell you why I think it was made my list.'cause a, I think it looks, uh, I think it looks stupid. I think it's also in that category of like really deceptive women's clothing. Um. think that there's also like, I don't know, they've got really decept, they've got deceptive men's clothing now that's like, you look at it and you're like, that that shirt is cut to make that guy look like he's sw. But I can tell he's not, but he's,

Brent:

Yeah. Yeah.

George Milton:

do you know what I mean? Like, uh, so, okay. Well, so you vetoed that one. I'm gonna, I'm just gonna go with the, the low crotch pants then. What was Justin's? Justin, what was yours?

justin:

Uh, the oversized, baggy clothes that don't fit right. So you look like criss-cross. Make you jump. Jump Mac daddy make you jump, jump.

George Milton:

yeah, But we're, we're like, uh, we're kind of, kind of, we're kind of like old guys, so I'm sure that there's, like, I wa I was on the fence about mom jeans. Like when are you including like the baggy, like is mom jeans fall into

justin:

No mom jeans aren't in in baggy.'cause like sometimes like the girlfriend Jean or the mom jean, can look pretty dope. It's more like just like three sizes too big everything, like.

Brent:

was like if you wanted to up

George Milton:

Yeah. Yeah.

Brent:

like the tend

George Milton:

Like a literal rise.

Brent:

the more. like these finding ones that meet where I feel my waist is. So now they're like coming up where they're, I gotta have'em up my goddamn belly button now, and it makes me feel like a grandpa. But that's what all kids are doing. So it's like now they're the, it's like now they're wearing old band clothes and we look like old men for wearing

George Milton:

Yeah,

Brent:

Anyway, it's things are weird. Life is weird.

George Milton:

things are weird.

justin:

Is weird buddy.

George Milton:

I remember, uh, the, I was living in Houston the first time I got a pair of skinny jeans.'cause like skinny jeans were pretty cool. In the what maybe like the. late OTTs skinny jeans were like the, the skinny jeans got cooler and cooler. I probably got my

Brent:

It took me a while to come around to them myself, and then whenever I did, then it's like, now I don't want others.

George Milton:

Well, I like skinny jeans. Skinny jeans today are, are pretty good because they, because everybody, every gene company makes like flex, like flex denim or whatever. But my first pair of, my first pair of skinny jeans was just straight up, like not, maybe not raw denim, but it was not the like flex denim that you get today. And, uh, oh yeah, they sucked, man. You could, you're, you're like, you're waddling around in them.'cause you, you just can't even take a right stride in them.

justin:

I mean, I used to have friends that like, yeah, they couldn't even like move their body'cause their legs were like so tight and they would have like that Japanese denim or whatever, and you're like, I can't move, I can't do anything. And you're like, well, you're not gonna be able to move for three weeks. That's cool.

George Milton:

Yeah. Super cool bro.

Brent:

I got a

justin:

Ooh,

George Milton:

Okay, so we settled on, uh, mine is the low crotch. Justin's is super baggy pants, and Brent's is, uh, I forgot, I forgot, because I can't keep my brain today.

Brent:

I'll, gotta fashion meets a, a lack of function is the, tennis shoes that looks like knitted Uh, years, five or I wanna say, like right before COVID was probably like whenever they, I, I might even still have an old pair in there, but yeah, so you guys don't seem like you look like, you know what I'm talking about, but, um,

justin:

The knit running shoes, you were

Brent:

I mean, they literally just look like a sweater material,

justin:

Yeah,

Brent:

on the exterior of a shoe.

justin:

know. I kind of know what you're talking

Brent:

Like you would think that,

justin:

were super cozy, but yeah,

Brent:

well, that's the problem is cozy, so maybe my beef with'em is also like Texas, that it's like it's a running shoe and you're doing something to the exterior that makes me have exceptionally sweaty feet. You know? So, Hmm. Maybe there's that.

justin:

I mean, anything that makes you sweat in Texas, you're like, no, thank you. I want the least amount of fabric. I only want ranger panties on, and I am running shoes.

George Milton:

am I wrong? Did Kanye make a like some special release knit

Brent:

Oh were just the most ridiculous.

justin:

you'cause I love the

Brent:

Shut up. They're Crocs, dude. They're, it's a, it's a$200 pair of Crocs. You're crazy. I have to accept the, the Vito.

justin:

they're so comfortable. They were so the best. Those are some of the best sneakers I ever got to rock. They were so cozy. No, Crocs are terror. I've only worn Crocs once and I'm like, no, no, I'm good.

George Milton:

So what do you guys think about, because the croc story, like if we're talking about fashion, I feel like Crocs has to get an honorable mention for like awful

Brent:

thought about saying Crocs, but like Crocs are one of those things where Like I finding a better, in a winter cabin and hot tub,

George Milton:

Oh yeah.

Brent:

to a hot tub. But like I, I'm not about

George Milton:

I, I think that they deserve an honorable, Michelle. I also like, I would like to get a pair of Crocs. I've never owned a pair of Crocs, but like. I think it's one of the, it's one of those fashion things that like, I thought was stupid. Do you guys remember an Idiocracy when like,

Brent:

Yes.

George Milton:

When they were like, everybody in the future wears Crocs

Brent:

Well,

George Milton:

they,

Brent:

the ones in the government, uh, like the, the government, uh, do you, do you,

George Milton:

'cause they were like, this is the stupidest.

Brent:

yeah. And they're like, this will never last.

George Milton:

will never last. It's the stupidest thing you like cut to the future and like

Brent:

Yes.

George Milton:

wearing crocs. actually want a pair of Crocs. I think if we're doing, uh, if we're doing rompers for Christmas, we should also do like ma. Yeah. And we

That's.

justin:

it's got Spurs on and everything.

George Milton:

the little, uh, whatever you call those things, the little, the little handle thing that flips back and

justin:

Little spur

George Milton:

is

justin:

of the, the

Brent:

These

George Milton:

Yeah. They're just spurs. But on a croc, you can like, have it support your heel or

Brent:

Yes.

George Milton:

Uh, which it's

justin:

sport mode engaged.

George Milton:

I think. I think, guys, I think Crocs are cool and I, and I want to get some.

Brent:

could be just

George Milton:

They're, they're stupid. They are stupid. But I think that if I was wearing crocs, sorry. When I get a pair of Crocs and I start wearing Crocs everywhere, I don't think that like a, like a romper. If you see me wear a romper, I'm wearing it f fully, ironically. But like if I'm wearing Crocs, it's like 90% sincere, I think.

justin:

I'm already looking up, uh, Christmas romp, uh, the male romper. Oh yeah. We're definitely getting some Christmas ones.

George Milton:

there's a ton. I had like, I was looking around for like where our romper's gonna be, our like uniform. So like I've got a, I've got a whole list of, this is from several years ago. Like I have a whole list of like romper, like companies that will like,'cause you could get'em customized, you could take'em to like Kong printing and get'em customized to,

justin:

might get'em custom made for my make you wear my, uh, my company's logo on the Christmas romper. Just because,

George Milton:

Uh, we should get'em customized. For Vito, the podcast. We should have some VTP rompers.

justin:

Ooh, know if Brent's gonna rock one, but will you, uh, Brent will be like, ah.

Brent:

you guys

George Milton:

He, Yeah.

justin:

Yeah, we're going, we're gonna go to the piano bar and we're going to, we're gonna be doing some singing,

George Milton:

Yeah,

justin:

no, it's called Hor Jor Hazed. Jorge Dueling Piano House. It's really fun. It, we usually end there every, uh, jingle walk.

George Milton:

we're usually super sober and we're definitely Brent. We're definitely a hundred percent playing and singing. Uh, can you take me higher by Creed On my piano?

Brent:

Nice.

justin:

even.

George Milton:

like in Christmas sweaters, and I guess this year, Christmas. Rompers.

justin:

you're definitely doing some robbers.

George Milton:

Uh, guys, speaking of rompers, I think, why don't we take a quick break, uh, so we can get an ad read from our, I assume our romper,

justin:

Yeah. Sponsor. Yeah,

George Milton:

week. We'll be right back. So guys, so you guys keep it locked here. We're gonna bring you more incredible content right after the

justin:

let's go.

Brent:

The official romper of Vito, the podcast.

George Milton:

burb. And welcome back. I hope you guys bought a bunch of stuff.'cause that's how we, that's how, that's what keeps us in business here at Veto, the podcast enterprises.

Brent:

it without you buying the things you buy.

George Milton:

We couldn't do it. And that's why, uh, we're kicking off the veto, the podcast, uh, fund raise Drive today. So call in, make your pledge. Uh, let's do another segment.

Brent:

we've been doing a lot of the fun. Now it's time for the ding.

George Milton:

Now it's time for Yes, absolutely. We need you. We need your help. Uh, let's do another segment. Let's, let's, let's roll it again on the dice. I think one to two is me. Three to four was Justin. Five and six was here. Yes you are. Here we go. Oh man. That's another five. Uh, Brent, Brent already went. So, but we can do it again. We're gonna do another Brent, be Brent Heavy today.

Brent:

Well actually let, let me, because I was kind of, uh, optimistic about some of the ones that you guys were talking about. I'm gonna go ahead and veto myself and I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pass it off to, to Justin.

George Milton:

Okay. Wow. Solid use of the Vito.

justin:

got a very tasty one this week. Um, I was just in New York for a job and we got into a big conversation about pizza I don't know if you're like me, but I love me some pizza and there's the arguments about. The different kinds of pizza. And what is pizza and what's good pizza? What's bad

George Milton:

So

justin:

So I thought we'd do a, uh, an overrated, underrated, perfectly version of pizza. And so

George Milton:

there's features

justin:

up'cause these are the ones that are the most like, kind of three unique ones. first

George Milton:

one

justin:

that is always the biggest controversy in my

George Milton:

by.

justin:

is Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. How do you, how do you think it's rated in the pizza world? What do you

George Milton:

Overrated. It's been, it's so overrated. Deep. Just pizza is terrible. Just terrible.

Brent:

No, let me go with, uh, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll take the opposite approach here. Then.

George Milton:

Okay.

Brent:

I say it's underrated, but I will also say as much as I think Chicago Deep Dish is just absolutely delicious.

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

not pizza. It's just like, it's, you

George Milton:

Okay. That's That's right. That's the right take, I think.

Brent:

by any definition of what we would call pizza, it breaks every rule. So like, you, you just can't call it a pizza. In my opinion. That's what they named it. Fine. For the sake of the person at the restaurant, knowing what I would like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna ask for it by its name, but it's, I mean, it's, it's a casserole, you know, it's not a, it's not a pizza, it's a casserole.

George Milton:

It's a shepherd's pie without, without potatoes.

justin:

Yeah, that's what I say. I think it's like a lasagna, right? Like it's, it's a thing. But anytime someone says, oh, deep dish is the best pizza, I'm like, shut your filthy mouth.

Brent:

Yeah. But, but the

George Milton:

But you're saying.

Brent:

is because of the fact that like so many people I think, get so hung up on the fact that it's not pizza. And it's not that they let that be the, like overarching, they just, they throw hate towards the whole dish because of what it's named and it didn't choose what it's named. So you should let it be,

George Milton:

Okay, you're talking about me. I'm in that category of people that

Brent:

Yeah, I'm

George Milton:

it.

Brent:

it's, it's just, don't call it p, call it something else, and then just respe like, but how can you get mad at the combination of those ingredients in that configuration? I mean, what's not to love is what I

George Milton:

I guess I'm not mad at the combination of ingredients. I, I just think when somebody's like, deep dish pizza's my favorite pizza, what I hear is, I don't like pizza. I hear somebody telling me that they just don't like pizza.

Brent:

Sure.

justin:

Do you

Brent:

I can.

justin:

to one of those places that has like, they're like pizza place and you go and it's like the worst pizza you've ever had and you're like, have you ever had pizza before? Like you opened a restaurant and this is what you're serving as pizza. Like, have you never tasted a real good pizza before? It's like, come on

George Milton:

There's a lot of places like that.

justin:

I know

George Milton:

your mic.

justin:

shown.

George Milton:

your mic is so hot, man.

Brent:

before we took a break. It's crazy hot

George Milton:

It's so.

justin:

With it. I'm gonna check it out right now. Uh, microphone, MacBook Pro, microphone. Why is it peaking? Um, let

George Milton:

Wow.

justin:

my audio here,

Brent:

Yeah.

justin:

in the meantime we'll move on to our second. Uh.

George Milton:

Well, wait, hold on. I wanna talk more about deep dish pizza because I, what, what, what are the other types of what, like what about other types of pizza? Do you, what? What do you think is the best type of pizza?

justin:

We'll get to that. Let's get,

George Milton:

Okay. All right. All right. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got, I'm all jacked up about, about the deep dish pizza. Lemme shake it off. Continue, please continue.

justin:

All right. This is kind of a newer one. This is the one that's kind of come onto the scene and it's, uh, pretty good stuff, but it's, I wanna know how you guys. Uh, like this, it is Detroit style pizza, which is very similar to Sicilian Pizza, I would say, but it is,

Brent:

Um.

justin:

to behold.

Brent:

I will say that, that as far as pizzas go, the Detroit style is definitely my, my current most ob obsession of pizza that I, that I gravitate towards the most right now. I wouldn't say it's like my classic favorite or anything like that. Um, not the most pizza, pizza of all time. It starts to sort of. Tiptoe a little bit into that Chicago deep dish category, but doesn't break the rules because you still, you don't eat it with a fork. You pick the damn thing up, you have it like, you know, it's, it's got a crust around the outside, uh, which some could argue is the best part of the whole thing. So, uh, no, I say underrated for Detroit style because there seems to be, since it's a kind of a newer comer to the scene, a lot of people that are still not super aware of it and what it is and its deliciousness. So. Man, do I love me some destroyed style pizza

George Milton:

So, is Detroit style pizza, is it, does it, is it a rectangle? Is it always like a rectangle deep dish? Deepish, not deep dish, but I guess like thick crust pizza.

Brent:

still, it's still like deep dish, I would say, but not in the Chicago sense of the word, but like they always do the cheese in the pan around the outside. So the outside edges are just hella crispy and uh,

George Milton:

wow, okay. I just, I had to Google it'cause I wasn't sure. I, I've had Detroit style. But all the, all the edges look crispy. And man, that's making me really hungry for pizza.

Brent:

oil in the pan before they put the dough down. So the,

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

dough itself gets also really crispy and crunchy on the outside. It's just, ugh, it's so good. We had some last night, as a matter of fact.

justin:

good. I, I, I think it's perfectly ready'cause it is a delicious, um, of, it's a slice. It's with that crispy edge with the cheese. It is. Um.

George Milton:

I might vote'cause I have had Detroit style. But like I, when you said Detroit style, I had no idea what you were talking about. So I'm gonna vote underrated for that reason because I don't necessarily feel like if I feel like more people are talking about Chicago deep dish and like, shut the fuck up, eat one of these, eat one of these Detroit, eat one of these crispy, thick Detroit. Rectangle pizzas and I feel like the, I feel like this type of pizza, I, it has a higher bar for me just because it's a rectangle and it makes me think of school, lunch, pizza, which, which in my, which my, my experience was not good with school lunch, pizza.

Brent:

See, I think somebody needs to come up with a Detroit. Style pizza place and it needs to be called Pi r square, you know, like the, the math, like,'cause they're, nevermind.

George Milton:

Hey, Brent. Veto. Yeah, veto. I'm gonna veto that one. I'm so sorry, man.

justin:

idea. Terrible.

Brent:

I, I'm, I'm gonna start my restaurant and you won't be allowed there, so.

George Milton:

I, no. Hey, Brent. Brent, Brent. You can't start your restaurant. I vetoed it.

Brent:

You vetoed it. Yeah,

George Milton:

Yeah, you know the rules and I'm out of veto cards. I'm out of veto cards.

Brent:

veto your veto

George Milton:

Oh,

Brent:

gain neutrality.

George Milton:

the only one.

Brent:

for the rest of my life, it is what it is.

George Milton:

The only one who could save us.

justin:

last slice that is going deliciousness in your Boca would be the amazing, the New York slice East Coast slice. Jersey, Connecticut, the beautiful slice of pizza, thin crust, crunchy.

Brent:

you go first this time, George. I went first, last.

George Milton:

uh, well, I wanna hear, uh, well, I guess we heard Justin's take first on deep dish pizza, but I feel like this one is perfectly rated. I feel like it's very well known. Um, and I feel like it's like when you get a good, like, like East Coast, like New York style pizza, there's, I don't know, there's nothing like it. It's, it's unique. It is its own, yeah, it's its own category.

Brent:

I'll echo that. Basically like, yeah, I think it's perfectly rated because of how high esteem it's held in. Uh, I think rightfully so. I think if I was gonna really just name my all time favorite type, like if I had to throw out all other things and it's the only one I could ever have, I, yeah. I'm gonna go with like just a good old Yeah. East Coast style, you know, thin crust, big slice, fucking, like, that'd probably be my, my one that I would carry away if I could only have one.

George Milton:

Yeah.

justin:

There you go. I agree. I think it's the the most perfect. Food. It is delicious. We

Brent:

Yep.

justin:

in Brooklyn this last week that it was, every bite was a crunchy sound and it just, and it

Brent:

So good.

justin:

It was like heaven in your mouth and fun story. We were, we were trying to go to this famous place in Brooklyn called Luke Colley's. we walk up and it's in the evening and we've had a few cocktails and we're alright. It doesn't look that busy. We can, uh. We can go and, uh, get in and then they're like, sorry, you can't come in. And we look up and it's like Andrew Cuomo is holding a fundraiser there for the May Mayor oral election and he is like giving a speech and we're like, oh, but we just want some pizza. We'll

George Milton:

What the za man

justin:

We want that Zah dog,

George Milton:

give us that sweet za

justin:

some

Brent:

Yeah. When we get to the end of your pizzas or is that the last of the questions of them?

justin:

the

Brent:

Okay.

George Milton:

before.

Brent:

sort of in the honorable mention spirit, I would like to also throw out there my opinion on the worst style of pizza

George Milton:

Wait. Before. Before you do that, Brent, I just gotta say there's a place while we're talking about New York style. When I lived in Orlando, uh, Florida for a little while, there was a place there, uh, called Lazy Moon Pizza, and they did New York style pizza. And literally the only thing that they made was a 30 inch pizza, which is a fucking gigantic pizza.

Brent:

really big.

George Milton:

huge. It's huge. And they would do a thing where like. If you ate, if you could eat a whole pizza, you'd get like a plaque on the wall. But like they, they served it by the slice and like a si like a slice of 30 inch pizza is a, is a meal. Right. And they had a, they had a meal. They had a meal deal. It was a, it was, it was right across from a UCF. Um. Which is, uh, where I went to college for a little while before I dropped out to be a sleazy bar musician, but they, it was like, they had a, they had a meal deal called the Boxcar Willie. It was a, uh, it was a, it was a slice, a full slice of pizza and a tall boy PBR for$3 and 50 cents.

Brent:

Shut up. That's

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

cool.

George Milton:

That, that shit kept me alive. Like it kept me alive. That was my main source of calories was that$3 and 50 cents.

Brent:

a PVR that was paired with it. Like that's

George Milton:

Yeah. Oh man. Yeah, they were like,

justin:

Like if you try to go to a bar, now they're charging you like nine,$10 for a PBR, and you're like, that's not right.

George Milton:

you are like, I should be able to buy the company for nine or$10.

Brent:

Yeah.

George Milton:

so

Brent:

mean, well,

justin:

is our pizza task.

George Milton:

what were, what were you gonna say? The worst pizza.

Brent:

worst though, because like, and this is one of those things where like, if we happen to have any listeners from this area, uh, you know, I'll be getting threats of violence somehow after this because they're, they're willing to fight you, uh, for disrespecting their pizza. But

George Milton:

Okay,

Brent:

St. Louis, you got the worst pizza. It's just

George Milton:

sure.

Brent:

they, the St. Louis, uh, style pizza is really known for its complete overuse of, of, uh, uh. Provolone, I couldn't think of the name for a second. The overuse of provolone, uh, which is, you know, a common thing that's used on a lot of pizzas, but they, they really neglected the mozzarella. Go with a heavy amount of provolone, which, when cooked with a pizza, gives it a very, like, melty texture, which I guess if that's what you're going for, fine. But to me it just turns the whole thing into sort of just like a bunch of s on a, on a drippy crust. And I, you know, I'm

George Milton:

I don't like, I don't like provolone. I don't like provolone on a pizza that much. But tell me if I'm wrong. Isn't St. Louis style pizza? Isn't that what, like Domino's thin crust pizza. That's the cracker crust. Is that not cracker crust pizza

Brent:

I mean, may maybe that's kind, but, but that doesn't, I like, I love the thin crust from Domino's. That has nothing to do with like the main, like, I don't

George Milton:

is, what does that cracker, what does that cracker crust like? Uh, what, what, what type of pizza is that? Cracker Crust Pizza.

Brent:

I don't know, but I don't think it's St. Louis. I remember the St. Louis

George Milton:

Okay.

Brent:

who knows, maybe I'm wrong. It just

justin:

St. Louis Pizza, so we can just veto that as being terrible.

Brent:

Oh, you like the St. Louis.

justin:

No, I've never even heard of it, so it

Brent:

Oh, okay.

George Milton:

Well, what I say, I think that my favorite, um. And maybe, I don't know if this overlaps with New York style pizza, so this might just be me being stupid, but like Neapolitan Pizza, is that the same as East Coast pizza?

justin:

Neapolitan is in the middle, right?

George Milton:

Yeah, yeah,

justin:

cooked fast under high heat.

George Milton:

yeah.

justin:

you get this nice little char and the crust,

George Milton:

And the bubbly, the bubbly.

justin:

I love it. If it's done right, it's amazing, but it doesn't hold up like I like, you know, when I make, have you had my pizza, George? When I make pizza, it's

George Milton:

I have. Yeah, it's great. Yeah.

justin:

of the two because it's like, I like that Neapolitan style, but if you can't pick up a slice and have it hold steady. If it can't stay erect,

George Milton:

Yeah.

justin:

don't

George Milton:

Well, you have to have a, like, I feel like you have to, I, I, I'm not a pizza cooking expert. I feel like you have to have like a legit pizza oven to do Neapolitan Right. To get it bubbly and. Crispy, but like Aaron was making like Neapolitan style pizza for a while, even without like, you, you can do it in the oven. It's just not, it's supposed to be an 800 degree pizza oven

Brent:

Yeah.

George Milton:

to get a bubbly and like crispy. But man, a good Neapolitan slice is like, that's probably my favorite, is like a great Neapolitan slice.

Brent:

I'm kind of surprised you don't have one of those like pizza oven things built out back. It just seemed like the type of thing that I would picture George Milton like just

George Milton:

I know

Brent:

of just kind of being into.

George Milton:

I should, well, I will say that one of my pet peeves just in general is, is like an overabundance of kitchen of like specific kitchen stuff. Like I really hate, I really hate it, where you've got like one thing that you only can use for, it's like you only use it for this one thing.

Brent:

Sure,

George Milton:

And, and it's and and then you do that pretty rarely. And I feel like I've just seen a lot of people get like these uni pi pizza ovens or something. It just sits in the garage forever.

Brent:

You're talking to a guy with a meat slicer, so yeah.

George Milton:

Oh, you have a meat slicer,

Brent:

I do.

justin:

I feel

George Milton:

dude,

Brent:

Um,

justin:

use out of a meat slicer. I would

Brent:

I,

justin:

slicer.

Brent:

use it pretty regularly though. Yeah.

George Milton:

I.

Brent:

it. But it's, it, it's one of those things where it's like, it's super easy to use. It's only the cleanup that really kind of makes it, you know, a drawback.

George Milton:

Okay. Uh, good segment. Thanks Justin. Pizza. I love pizza. Um, I'm gonna go.

justin:

loves pizza.

George Milton:

gonna take the reins on the next segment.'cause I feel like everybody's, everybody's done one now, um, I'm gonna do my kind of like, I'm gonna come in with a different segment one of these days, but I just really like giving advice to people on the internet, like unsolicited advice to people on the internet who weren't asking me specifically. Um, I've got two that I kind of wanna read to you guys together because. I found them on d in different parts of the internet and they're the, they're basically the same. Uh, they're, they're basically the same question. So, uh, they're, they're both kinda short, so let me read both of'em. So first one is, should I go to a Halloween party with my girlfriend or sleep for work the next morning? So my girl. So my girlfriend's best friend is throwing a Halloween party soon. I originally told her I wasn't going because I have to be up early for work the next day. She also works the next morning, but still plans on going and drinking a bit. For context, I don't drink and I'm not really into parties, which is why I decided to stay home and just get some sleep. But now I'm kind of second guessing that and thinking I should just show up for a bit and then leave to get some sleep. She'll have two of her close family members there, so I'm not worried about her safety or anything. Um,

Brent:

Hmm.

George Milton:

I'll do these questions as separate, so. What do you guys think about this? Like, it doesn't have, it doesn't say ages in here. I feel like most of these people are like somewhere in their mid twenties.

Brent:

Yeah, we I.

George Milton:

Um, but this, uh, person doesn't even say if it's a guy or not, but like, I'm, I guess I'm just making the assumption that it's a guy, but like this person is, is uh, their girlfriend's going to a Halloween party and they're like, uh, I don't really like drinking. I don't really like parties. Should I just skip it? Because I got work the next morning. You guys think,

justin:

my thing always is if you're in your twenties. That's the thing. If you're in your twenties, you should be able to hit a party and show up be ready to rally the next day at work. I mean,

George Milton:

especially if you're not drinking, like if you're not drinking.

justin:

Yeah. You, you come on. You can sleep when you're dead. I mean, I have a hard enough time doing it now, but I can still do it when I, when I, I'm called upon in great moments, but.

George Milton:

So

justin:

I

George Milton:

I think

justin:

twenties, man, we used to go out, we'd party, we'd go to these events, we'd go to things, and then we'd show up at work at 6 30, 7 in the

George Milton:

the.

justin:

the studio we worked at, and we'd be, you know, have a couple espressos and we'd rock and roll. Um, so yeah, I feel like you got a sack up. to go to this party and you need to figure this out. No quitters.

George Milton:

Justin's giving his normal advice, which is sack up.

Brent:

All right, so my advice, I guess, like the reason I have a hard time with a lot of these things is

George Milton:

It's'cause you've never woken up for work in the morning.

Brent:

I, I I a corporate thing, you know, years back. It's been a while, but, uh, but no, it's more that like, because I think to really give any kind of advice that's worth a shit about anything in life, first thing you really need to know about somebody is like, where do your priorities ultimately lie? Like you say you have a girlfriend, but like, I don't know how much of a shit you give about this girlfriend. Because whenever I was in my twenties, there was a lot of girl friends that I had that was kind of like, yeah, I enjoy, you know. The time spent with them and hanging out and the physical benefits that would go along with such things, but like, but I

George Milton:

Mr. What?

Brent:

thing, so it's like I'm not gonna necessarily go outta my way to inconvenience myself for their benefit. Whereas like once you're with someone that you do have expectations of long-term with, then like, you know how much joy it's gonna bring them. Is a huge part of how much I care about something like E. Even if it's something as meaningless to me, if the person I care about, if that means something to them, then like I'm not just gonna go, but I'm gonna go and genuinely enjoy it because I know that they are. So like that's the real question to me here is like, how much does he care about this girlfriend that's wanting to go? this party. Like if that's important to her and you and you care about the relationship, then like Justin says, sack up and go. But if you're not that into parties and this is just a passing relationship, it's kinda like, yeah, it's whatever, then fuck it. Don't go to that party like I would. I hate going to parties that I don't wanna go to, and I also don't like not being well rested when I have something kind of important to the day. So to me, the whole thing hinges on how much do you care about your significant other. That's really where it

George Milton:

Hm.

Brent:

to me,

George Milton:

Yeah.

Brent:

that information offhand here.

George Milton:

Well, I picked, I also liked this one'cause it was kinda short. I feel like I've read some really long ones. Uh, yeah, those are all good things to say. I also feel like from reading this, um, the, the original poster is like, uh, my girlfriend's best friend is throwing a Halloween party soon. He's kind of flip floppy. I guarantee you this person does not have a Halloween costume. Right. Because they're like, I don't really, you're like, I don't drink, I don't like parties. I don't know if I'm gonna go to this thing. It sounds like you do. I mean, it kinda sounds like you don't want to go, right? It doesn't, it kind of gives the tone of like, they don't wanna go. If you don't wanna go, then don't go. Uh, but

Brent:

that's my point

George Milton:

I've definitely.

Brent:

does, the tone comes across that way to me. So to me it's all about like, how much do you care about the girlfriend, you know?

George Milton:

Well, like it kind of, the fact that they posted this on the internet for like, Hey, give me advice is like they want backup for, they didn't go right because the girlfriend's probably like, come on, you'll have fun. And he's probably like, uh, I don't really want to Also, now I've got people on the internet who back me up, who have my back. Like,

Brent:

it sounds like he's asking for permission from internet strangers, is sort of the vibe I get.

George Milton:

Do you have permission to like stay home and go to sleep early? I, I will say that like, I,

justin:

self love.

George Milton:

I was thinking about this, uh, I was thinking about this recently because I've been trying to have my midlife crisis in just like little chunks instead of all at once. And like, I think one of the things that you, one of the things that I realized like,'cause I, because I've spent the last 13 years just like working my ass off like an idiot and, and like. The, the stuff that I regret is always, this is always the like irresponse, like I regret not doing more irresponsible stuff during that time. That's like, you know what I mean? Like, I don't, I don't regret the like one or two times that I like slept. It's not like I'm sitting here being like, oh, I, I slept, I overslept and was unprepared for a budget review meeting. Uh, like, like three years ago. But I do kind of like, I do kind of regret some of this stuff where it was like, you know, somebody wanted to go do something, uh, irresponsible. Just like, Hey man, I've got tickets to this show on Sunday night, and it's, uh, you know, we gotta drive to San Antonio and we're gonna have a great time. Like, there's like stuff like that where I'm like, man, I wish. I wish I did more stuff like that because I can think of like specific things where people were like, Hey, let's go do this. What you know, this crazy kind of like random thing. And then I was like, oh, I gotta work in the morning. And then like years later I'm like, that would've been a cool thing to do. I bet. So.

justin:

Well, I, I feel like, you know, yeah, when you're younger, it's. It's super rad to do all these things, but I definitely find, you know, as I've gotten older and jobs have gotten bigger and more important, it's like I've had to down more of those stuff now and be like, all right, I gotta be in good shape tomorrow. I gotta be for this job. I gotta be right. I can't be hung over. I can't be so tired. Like too much like riding on the line. So like if you're in your twenties and you're young and trying to have some fun, make the memories, man, you'll always be able to. Work later, grind it out like.

Brent:

can definitely get behind that. Yeah, a hundred percent.

George Milton:

This, this person, I mean, just the tone of this, it doesn't sound like they really super care about the girlfriend or the work or the parties.

Brent:

agree. That's what I'm saying. It seems like

George Milton:

So like,

Brent:

from internet strangers that

George Milton:

yeah,

Brent:

would be

George Milton:

you have our permission, but. If you want our advice, have a little more, yeah, have a little more fun. But you do have our permission to not go. Uh, okay. Let, let me here. Here's one that's semi-related. Um, get some sleep tonight or see my girlfriend again. Same question. Basically, I 28 f uh, have been dating a girl 29 f for about six weeks. We have been staying.

Brent:

go

George Milton:

We have been staying over at each other's places often, and I stayed over there the past two nights and got very little sleep for work and I'm absolutely exhausted. She will be in my city tonight and we talked about her potentially staying over, but I don't know because I desperately need sleep. I know I could sleep with her here, but we usually are up late watching movies and stuff and it never seems to happen. Should I keep the plans and hang out with her again tonight or call it off for a big day, uh, or call it off for a day to get sleep?

Brent:

All right, so once again, we're.

justin:

on watching movies and staying up late. Let's be honest.

Brent:

So we're, are we we're assuming mid, mid twenties again?

George Milton:

no, no. We don't have to assume it's a, it's a 28-year-old and a 29-year-old, so there, so it's,

Brent:

Well,

George Milton:

yeah, it's late, late twenties. Early career. Like early, like probably early career. Right.

Brent:

yeah, um, I think that if there's, uh, ch chances for two ladies to hook up that they should always take it. There's my advice.

George Milton:

I mean, there's a, that's a take for sure. Now let's get a different take. Let's, let's try a different take.

justin:

No, I think if you, you, you're still in that early, you know, six weeks, you're still in that like, you know, honeymoon phase of your relationship, so you're definitely hot and heavy and you're, you're feeling things, things are happening. It's exciting. I mean. Why not have both just be like, yo, come over. I do have to get to bed early tonight. Do your thing. Have a little fun. And then be like, yo, gotta go to bed if you can't control yourself.

Brent:

it.

justin:

You know,

Brent:

I I'll, yeah, I'll, I'll definitely. Okay, so for a more real answer, I will say that I think just from, you know, at least from my memory whenever I was dating, uh, that whole like, Hey, I don't want you to be over tonight because I need to be up early tomorrow is sort of a classic like, get outta here type tactic. Or it could be read that way. Whereas if you really do wanna be around that person, but you genuinely need sleep, then you know, just try to set up, oh shit. Oh, my computer's went off for a second. Uh, just set a more strict boundary on what you need to do there. But yeah, I, I feel like if you're, if you care about the relationship, maybe saying, Hey, I need to be up early in the morning, is sort of the classic. Like, I'd rather not have you here.

George Milton:

It is the, it is a cla That is a classic move. That's probably the, it sound, it sounds like, it sounds like she does like this girl. And I, I agree with you, Justin, like six weeks in is like, that's super early. You're, you're still like, you're, you're just like super excited and it does say, um, blah, blah, blah. Hold on. See, she will be in my city tonight. So it kind of. She kinda drops the, like they live in different cities. I don't know if the, I don't know if this is like, oh, I'm in Manhattan and she's in Brooklyn. Or I like, don't know how far apart their cities are, but, um, I don't know. It's kinda, I'm kind of torn on this one because it sounds like they are enjoying each other's company. But you do need to get some sleep sometimes. Like I, I definitely feel this where it's like you just ke if you just keep burning the candle at both ends, it is really hard to like, stay excited about anything. I think you should, I think you should definitely plan some sleep. I mean, this is this, this, this post was from two days ago, so they've already made the decision. I don't know, it doesn't say what it was, but, uh, I think, I think it's okay to work in some time for sleep, but like. If she's gonna be in your city, maybe that's not the night for it, you know?

justin:

Yeah,

Brent:

Uh, but no, that's, that's what I would say too, like yeah, if there, if there, if it's a distant relationship and. So rare, you know, whatever rare is, but like a rare opportunity to see each other then. Yeah. Like, I understand you gotta crash out sometimes, but hold out a little longer. Push through. It's, it's, it's worth it.

George Milton:

Yeah. Yeah. I, I'm, I, I gravitated towards these questions just because I want to do everything all the time. Like, I wanna say yes to everything.'cause I have incredible like, fomo. Where like I, I, I want to be doing something every day, every night. And like if I did all the things that I wanted to do, I would never get anything done and I would never get any sleep. So I feel like I have to, I have to make these decisions of like, oh, I really need to be responsible. I really need to be responsible today. I can't do this thing. But it sucks to do. It sucks to do. Um. Guys, do we wanna do one? Do we wanna do one more? I'm gonna roll the dice and see who can bring us home today.

Brent:

Oh yeah. I thought you meant one more advice, but you mean one more, one

George Milton:

We could do one more. We could do one more advice. Uh, let me see. Okay. I kinda liked this one. I, I liked this question here. So we'll do this one. Um, get groceries or just use what I have. I'm in a bit of a tight spot. My profession is currently on labor action. I'm not sure what that is. They spelled labor OUR, so I, I assume that means kind of like a, they're paused. Uh, so I don't have any income right now. I have just enough to cover my mortgage this month, but not much else. That being said, my meals are going to be pretty strange because most of what I have left are canned foods and some old produce. I'm trying to figure out if it's smarter to just eat through what I have until they settle or spend a bit on groceries to make my meals more balanced. What would you do in this situation? Uh, I will, I will say that like, I love the challenge of like, we're at the end of the groceries. We've got a bunch of shit in here, and it's just like random.

Brent:

And you

George Milton:

We've,

Brent:

something out of it.

George Milton:

and you've gotta make something out of it. It's one of my favorite challenges. Now I will say it has resulted in some godawful. Concoctions, but it's like, you're like, I bought these canned beets or whatever. I have, you know, I have too many cans of spam in my pantry right now because we saw some, we saw, we got excited about some Instagram recipe for like fried, like fried spam was like, was like really? It's good, but it was hitting hard. It makes my stomach feel bad. It was hitting hard on like, on like cooking Instagram for a little while. So we have like a, we have like a Costco like thing of spam and like, I'm not gonna use that spam until I get down to the dregs when it's like, okay, you've got, you know what I mean? Like you've got

Brent:

the most healthy thing in the world, you know, it's,

George Milton:

Oh,

Brent:

real fatty and real high and sodium.

George Milton:

yeah, yeah. But, but I mean, like. If it's like, I've got like the regular stuff, like we both have kinda like the regular stuff we make every week, which, uh, but then like I, I do kind of love getting down to the end of it and being like, all right, I've got spam, I've got peanuts and I've got this, I've got a can of beets or something

Brent:

We're going, we're we're going tie.

George Milton:

Yeah. Or yeah, or whatever. And I you, I always got like some rice or some noodles around, so you could always kind of always make it into something. My vote is to, my vote is to like, Hey, especially if you've got a budget constraint, like do a project, you know, do a little art project with your leftover food. Do you guys do this?

Brent:

Yeah. No, I, I, think I enjoyed as much as you.

justin:

Like my, you know, Melissa loves to do, she calls it, uh, shelf cooking or pantry cooking. And it's like, let's whatever's in there and whatever's in the fridge, we're gonna whip something up and it. We do smogs and a lot of times you can get away with a lot of things with some rice. some noodles or something. Just fried rice. I mean, who cares what's in there? I mean, sometimes you have a lot more than you think you do and then you put a fried egg on it.

George Milton:

Yeah.

justin:

magic. I think that's, especially if you're on a budget or if things get tight, like just go. See, you have probably have more things in there than you think you do, and it will be awesome. if it's not, always Uber Eats.

Brent:

Yeah. Uh, no. So we, we do it too. I just don't think I enjoy it as much, uh, as, as you might. Uh, I do it more of just a, it's, it's a utility of the fact that I, I don't know, maybe from like kind of growing up, not very. Like we, I wouldn't say we were poor, but we weren't well off. But like, hate seeing food go to waste. It's just like, it, uh, just drives me crazy. So like, I do it because I don't wanna see food go to waste, and so I don't necessarily enjoy the day that I'm doing that. It's, it feels more like a, like a chore of sorts. Like I'm doing it just to make sure that it doesn't go to waste, but yeah. You know, make, they'll do it.

George Milton:

Yeah, will do. I feel like sometimes I, sometimes I get real excited about, uh, about like fresh produce. Like if you go to, every once in a while you go to, like, you go to the store and it's just like, I don't know if I, if I go and I'm hungry or like I go and I just have like seen some cooking video or something, I just get really excited about fresh produce and I'll get more stuff than usual. And so I'll wind up with like. You know, bok choy and like a bag of, like a bag of like purple car. You know how sometimes you go to the store and you wind up with bok choy? I don't buy bok choy every time, but sometimes I come home with bok choy. And those times are also the times that I al that I come home with like. Gin, like fresh ginger and like just, you know, like dragon fruit. And I get really excited about produce and then I'll get like, it's like, oh yeah, there's just two of us. And this produce like goes bad pretty fast. So, so we'll do like, we'll just throw a bunch of stuff in the pan and roast it or make like a stew or like crock potted or something. Like a lot of stuff, like some salt water and a crock pot and you just chop up a bunch of things. It's great. So. I actually am probably gonna do this today'cause I feel like we've got some stuff I, I've been staring at those cans of spam guys. I'm gonna eat some spam today.

justin:

I love the kids love spam. They

Brent:

I, I love spam. Yeah.

George Milton:

Did you say meat?

justin:

George Milton:
