2 Guys No Credentials
2 Guys No Credentials is a comedy podcast where two completely unqualified guys talk about everything… like they know what they’re doing.
Each week we break down current events, internet outrage, everyday annoyances, and whatever else we feel like arguing about — from politics and pop culture to things that probably don’t matter at all.
Nothing is scripted, most of it isn’t researched, and somehow we still have strong opinions on all of it.
If you like sarcastic takes, pointless debates, and conversations that spiral out of control, you’re in the right place.

EP 003 | Ginger Privilege, Olympics & Zoology for Morons
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We probably shouldn’t have recorded this one.
In this episode, we debate ginger privilege (who actually has it easier?), play Zoology for Morons, talk hockey and the Olympics, and attempt to design the perfect burger… all while a few drinks deep.
Four mics. Zero research. Strong opinions.

No. I usually hit everything, so I guess. I guess if I had to pick one, it was yet yesterday. Uh we forgot lime juice. Oh, I and that that turned into be a that turned out to be a problem.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I regret you not getting lime juice as well.
SPEAKER_06Yeah.
SPEAKER_00Can a seltzer was on the list?
SPEAKER_01It was it was on the list. Nope. The list said what we need from Moscow Mules.
SPEAKER_04This page is fall. I got missed.
SPEAKER_06Alright. Well, anyway, we're on our annual trip, but it's not really annual because we skipped November because we couldn't make it work.
SPEAKER_04Yeah.
SPEAKER_00We're in Canada Iguana Stan. Uh and uh that's by the finger lakes, if anybody's wondering, Canada Iguana Stan. And uh Hunter Biden might be stopping by soon. He likes the finger lakes. So nobody's got any regrets. That was easy. Yeah. Do you have anything you want to well? Actually, let's save the game for a little bit. Let's have some convo first.
SPEAKER_06Uh anything you want to get into? Redheads? Yeah. This is something we were talking about a little bit earlier. Uh, I think it is way easier for a ginger to be a woman than it is for a ginger to be a man. Couldn't agree more. Right? I don't want to see that. I can't explain why. What what what makes it easier? I've never seen a ginger man. I've seen plenty of hot ginger women. There you go. Never?
SPEAKER_03Oh. Didn't think of one. Ed Sheridan? And he Dalton doesn't do it for you. Ed Sheridan. Oh, yeah, that he's hot.
unknownHe's hot. Jesus.
SPEAKER_06Donnie.
SPEAKER_00You walked into something. Jesus. So anyway.
SPEAKER_03Let's be honest, guys.
SPEAKER_02Donnie's gone.
SPEAKER_03Ask 50,000 females that go to his concert. He's a hot male.
SPEAKER_06Is that why they're going?
SPEAKER_03Oh, they well they don't like his music. He does have the voice of an angel.
SPEAKER_06He does have the voice of an angel. And of a ginger.
SPEAKER_03And of a ginger.
SPEAKER_06How is a how is a ginger with no soul an angel? How's that work? Oh, that's all right.
SPEAKER_00I just don't understand what makes it easier. Okay, so we've decided that there's no hot ginger men, but there's hot ginger women.
SPEAKER_07Yeah.
SPEAKER_00How does that make their lives easier or not?
SPEAKER_07Being hot makes it easier.
SPEAKER_00But do like, I mean, does not being hot make it more difficult?
SPEAKER_06I think I think it's or it just not it makes it not easier. Makes it not easier. Any more brain busters? Hey, listen. I don't know. I think we were just talking about this earlier. I think like like a woman could dye her hair red, and like that's a style choice. There's not a single dude that would be like, oh, you know what I need to do is red my tips. Red my tips? Yeah, you remember frosted tips?
SPEAKER_03Now you know what we were talking about yesterday.
SPEAKER_06Do you remember frosted tips?
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Oh you know what we were talking about yesterday? If Grizzly Adams had a red beard. Well, he did have a beard. He did have a beard. No way that it was red. But if it was red, think about it.
SPEAKER_06Like, pretty hot. Wow, Donald's on one today. Yeah, he really is.
SPEAKER_00For a married man with a child, he really likes What can I say? He really likes Ginger Men. Listen, he's on vacation. Yes, he's on.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god. I would not want to be a vacation.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Canada and iguana. I would not want to be around. Oh not Bangladesh. Canada, iguana-ish, Pakistan-ish. Yeah. All of those. All of those.
SPEAKER_06That's where we're we are for every everyone. I do have to say, I would not want to be in your household around Christmas time when there's a lot of gingerbread.
SPEAKER_02Oh my god, it's so hard.
SPEAKER_06Oh wow. This gingerbread man has three legs. Ooh. I wasn't even going to mention the ginger thing. I'm so glad I did. Yeah, I'm glad you brought it up. Yeah. I mean, this was a serious topic. I was just going to talk about something light, like voter ID. Come.
SPEAKER_00What? Come on, what? Come. Come on, what?
SPEAKER_05We're good.
SPEAKER_06This is a this is a serious pod. We talk about serious things.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03We also talk about not serious things. Yeah. Like like ginger, like ginger asses. I'm sorry, ginger butts. You can say asses, Todd.
unknownTook us.
SPEAKER_03Took us, yeah. Ginger. Ginger took us. Yeah, like like you said, Christmas time. That's ginger fanny. Turn cover. I gotta I gotta I g I gotta contain myself at Christmas time.
SPEAKER_00Ginger fanny. That's my favorite one. All right. Well, um, all right, I'll let you guys decide. Voter ID or the game.
SPEAKER_06I think I like I like games. I like I think I like the game. I like the game. All right, I like voter ID, but whatever. All right, here is the rule, okay? I'm gonna name animals, and you guys are gonna put them in categories. When you pick the category, you have to just defend why you put them in that category.
SPEAKER_04Okay.
SPEAKER_06There's four categories.
unknownSnacks.
SPEAKER_06Nope. Dog. No. Dog, cat, water, or bug. Dog, cat, water, or bug. Got it. Okay. All right. Do you understand the rules, everyone? Sure. Yeah. Alright, well, do a test run really easy. Dog. Dog. Dog. Okay. Okay. Good job, guys.
SPEAKER_00Wasn't expecting that. Alright. One real easy one. Ant.
SPEAKER_06Uh bug for sure, right? Yeah. Great job. All right. 100%. Okay. So these were easy, so I didn't have you defend. All right. So now I'm gonna give you one and you have to defend. Okay.
SPEAKER_01Horse. Dog. Why? Four legs, furry-ish. People pet them. So people bathe them. Same with cats.
SPEAKER_03I I was just gonna say, uh, I just getting ready to say cat. People don't bathe cats.
unknownSure.
SPEAKER_03Cats bathe themselves.
SPEAKER_04Some people, yeah, but they get bathed.
SPEAKER_03But some horses don't get bathed either. So so they're they're there. Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Yeah. Yeah. So my wife would probably like this would be an interesting one, right? Because she would be, you know, she I would like to know what her theory on these categories would be for where she would put this. But I would say a cat simply because a cat traditionally, traditionally, has shorter hair, right? There are there are fluffier cats out there, I get it. But it does have four legs. I agree with you there. Hopefully, hopefully. Like it could be I stopped myself. I was gonna say the R-word, and I didn't say it. Good job, Donald. Retired? It could be retired and only have three legs. That's exactly right. Um, but four legs, shorter hair.
SPEAKER_06Um yeah, I would that's and I feel like they're a little ornery.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like cats because they got all ventilations.
SPEAKER_06Horny.
SPEAKER_03It depends. Cats can be horny too.
SPEAKER_06Like, I mean, cats get horny, I guess.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, and horses I've definitely seen get horny. Like it's it's them and gingerbread men get it going.
SPEAKER_06All right, so go ahead. I'll say cats. I'm gonna take an opposite approach here. It's a bug. Why is it a bug? It's a bug because, like the other categories, right? It's got legs, and some you can have as pets. You can have an ant as a pet, for example, in an ant farm. Uh, but it eats leafy things like a bug.
SPEAKER_00All right. I like it. The correct answer, of course, is cat. Donald's right.
SPEAKER_06Definitely not water. Definitely not one. It's definitely not water. All right, guys. That one was right out. Here's a tough one coming at you. Are you guys ready? Lobster. Oh, that's a water bug.
SPEAKER_01It's definitely not cat, definitely not dog.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, yeah. No, it lives in the water, but it's a bug of the water. Ooh. And we have to pick one. We have to pick one.
SPEAKER_06You have to pick one.
SPEAKER_03I think it's more bug. I think it's more water. I I I think I think it's more more bug because I like I I agree with you. Like I think it's it it while it lives in the water, it still is a very small species in the water that makes it kind of like bug-ish, right? Like, there's not very many like big bugs out there. I'm following it. It's got long spindly legs and pinky. Yeah, I would say bug.
SPEAKER_06Here's why I'm going water.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_06Let's let's dummify this.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Close your eyes.
SPEAKER_02All right. They're closed. You're out. You just ordered a lobster. Okay. Right. It doesn't have butter on it, though.
SPEAKER_07That's I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna take you through this. You gotta you just ordered it.
SPEAKER_01You don't want you.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_01You're having a shandy, nice citrusy beer to wash down your lobster. Summer in the Cape. Oh you're I'm already you're already going where I'm gonna take you. Right? Waiter comes around. I would say waitress, but the first half of your conversation, I I think you'd like a waiter.
SPEAKER_00A ginger one.
SPEAKER_01Um, yes. Ginger one, yes, keyword. Um, he comes around. Hey Donald, here's your twin lobsters. Little little cup of melted butter, some lemon.
SPEAKER_00I'm getting hungry.
SPEAKER_07You're pouring the lemon on the on the lobster. You crack the tail, you're dunking in the butter. You take a bite and you look out. What do you see? A bug. That's not true.
SPEAKER_03You see the ought to see. You see the ocean. Yes, you're right. You saw the ocean. You see, you see water. You see water, you're right. It's water. No, it it it's bug.
SPEAKER_06It's definitely bug. It's water.
unknownIt's bug.
SPEAKER_06You're right. We got another one. You want more? One more. Take it to the quarterback. Just one? Just one more. Just one. Oh no, you can do more. Wait, wait, wait. For the record, I'm two for two.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, you're for you're I'm not keeping score, but sure. Yeah, I'm gonna go.
SPEAKER_06Well, it is a game. You are winning. Yeah, I'm winning. You don't win anything, but you are winning.
SPEAKER_00All right. Um another hard one. Snake.
SPEAKER_06Snake's a bug.
SPEAKER_07No legs, but it's crawling around the dirt.
SPEAKER_03Everyone goes, ew, snake. I I you know, I because because the categories you gave cannibalistic bug.
SPEAKER_01It it has to eat other bugs, some snakes?
SPEAKER_03See, you're you're making good points here too, because right, like a a bug really is not a carnivore in a way, right? But a snake can technically eat meat and be a carnivore. It has to be. So can lobster. Yeah, that's true, too. Um just a soup domain.
SPEAKER_06He's gotta think it's birth control. Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh I would agree with you. Like, uh I think I think it's gotta be a bug. I I I don't I think it has to be.
SPEAKER_06It's a cat. It's a cat. Yes, snakes are.
SPEAKER_03Wait, wait, wait. I'm gonna need you to explain this.
SPEAKER_06Snakes are solitary for the most part, don't want to be around anyone else. They are predators like a cat. They kind of clean themselves like a cat, and I don't want to be around it. Could be water.
SPEAKER_05Could be water? No legs.
SPEAKER_03The water doesn't have legs.
SPEAKER_02There are water snakes.
SPEAKER_03Like, let's be honest. Like, Tina's not wrong. T he's he actually I'm gonna say I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say a bug still because I I stood on that, but I can see where Tina's right.
SPEAKER_07I'm leaning, I'm leaning bug, but snake fits into the most categories so fine.
SPEAKER_03Water. Water. Yeah. Tina's right.
SPEAKER_00Water. Water. I'm gonna add one more.
SPEAKER_06It like a snake will like slip through your fingers like water will if you try to hold it. It's all sinking. I'm really bad at this game. I mean it's no, you're doing great. I'm doing great. Thanks. Objectively bad. You all you all you almost convinced me a snake is a cat. Yeah? Yeah, you're I think you're doing great. Thanks. Keep it up, bro. Thanks. Yeah, all right. Let's do another. All right, one more. Maybe two. Who knows? Or maybe six. Yeah. Um Capybara. Capibara. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is. All right, it's a dog. It's a dog. It's a dog. It's a dog. What is that? It's like the largest rodent on earth. So it's a bug then. So it looks like a guinea pig? It's a bug. Rodent bug.
SPEAKER_05If it makes me go eel, yeah.
SPEAKER_06This won't make you go eel. No, it won't make it go eel. I want to punk. You'll go, uh. It's just like a raccoon. No.
SPEAKER_01Raccoons are just raccoons are bugs. They're cats, but they're bandits. Yes. Yes. All right. That's a capybara.
SPEAKER_03So, okay, so if you're talking about this. Oh, so it's a hamster. What about a porcupine? What's a porcupine?
SPEAKER_00Well, we're not, we're doing capabara. Oh, bye bad. Yeah. Alright.
SPEAKER_06If you wanna if you wanna run this game, you're gonna have to run your own. Okay. Sounds great. Well, to answer your question, dog, done. Porcupine's a dog? Oh yeah. I think porcupine's a cat. I can be sold on it. Ornery? Well, hurt ya?
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna look they're not.
SPEAKER_06Lots of sharks though.
SPEAKER_03It's not it's not it's not a bug. So it so it's a cat or a lots of sharp things.
SPEAKER_00It's a cat.
SPEAKER_03Alright.
SPEAKER_06Uh yeah, I'm in.
SPEAKER_00Dogs are like loyal, they're friendly, they want to lick you.
SPEAKER_06Well, have you ever talked to a porcupine? Maybe get to know him. No. Tell me about your dog.
SPEAKER_00Baloo? He is really cute. Nothing going on upstairs.
SPEAKER_04The lights on, but no one's home.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, he's so stupid. And it's a good thing he's so stupid because he loves everyone, which also could put him in danger one day.
SPEAKER_06It will put him in danger. Yeah. It's put me in danger multiple times. I'm never in danger because I hate everything. So they're uh do you do it? Do you want to do another or we want to move on? Whatever you want. I mean, I think this is worth pointing out because Tino's opened our eyes while we're talking about categories. Tino's has opened our eyes into the world of uh food categories.
SPEAKER_08Food categories?
SPEAKER_07Yeah, food boils down to a couple things. Chips, candy, earth.
SPEAKER_01What was the other one? There was one more. Chips, candy, earth. Meat? No, that's earth.
SPEAKER_06No, I think I think that's just a three. It's either chips or it's candy. Drinks. That's not food. Soup? That's that's drink. That's drink. That's drink. Food strength. Okay. Maybe it was just a three. I think it's just a three. It's either yeah, because it's either chips or it's candy. Chips, candy, or earth. Yeah. For example, steak. Earth, earth, earth.
SPEAKER_00Alright. Yeah, we can all agree on that. That's a good game, too.
SPEAKER_06Don donut. Candy. Candy. Easy. Oh, donuts and candy.
SPEAKER_03No, I'd say earth. Why? Because the donut. Well, while it depends on the type of donut, but it's bread. It's wheat. It's grown. Bread is candy.
SPEAKER_06Bread's not candy. Hold on.
SPEAKER_07Unsweetened candy.
SPEAKER_00No, the Northern American, where we reside, uh, bread is candy because it's got a ton of sugar in it.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, it's unit's unsweetened candy.
SPEAKER_06Bread in maybe the UK, we might say, is earth because it doesn't have any sugar in it. Like Italian bread in Italy? Probably. I just started playing this game. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03This is but that that's just like, but but you see my process. I see your process. I see where you're going. Yeah, like I like I would I would I would argue that if you if you overcook bread, it becomes chick. Well, okay, so to your point, yeah. So it could be all three categories, right? Like it like again, I see your point. But like we're sitting here we're sitting here saying a donut. The reason we're saying donuts are candy is because of the glaze and the sugar and all that crap that's on top of that. That's a donut.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. The reason I say watermelon sour patch kids are candy. It's not the watermelon is is candy, I guess.
SPEAKER_03I know the sugar. I see your point. Yeah, it's the sugar for sure. Okay, so but but I would argue, I I can make an argument, I feel like. Chocolate covered bacon. That donut the basis of a donut, the base of a donut is earth. The base of a donut is earth because the base is wheat. Then everything's earth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, of cheese.
SPEAKER_06Because the cheese is we're all made of the stuff that stars are made of.
SPEAKER_03So okay.
SPEAKER_04Everything could be space.
SPEAKER_03All right, fair. You're not going to change my opinion that I think that it still is the base. The basis of the question.
SPEAKER_05Just a hundred people, where does dawn or fall?
SPEAKER_03You're the only one calling it Earth.
SPEAKER_05That's that's you know what? That's fair, but it could be different.
SPEAKER_03But yeah, but I'll be different. But I'll say it.
SPEAKER_06Let me ask you a question. Okay. Pecans.
unknownWho?
SPEAKER_06Pecans pecans. Pecan. Pecans. Chip. Chip? Yes.
SPEAKER_03Um, what were earth candy or um well?
SPEAKER_06I'm trying to get somewhere with this.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, no, I would say um What if I candy those pecans?
SPEAKER_06Candy. Are you happy with my compromise? But yeah, because I would say, like a donut, I have a if I smoke a pole, I have a boyfriend. Well, I was trying, but they have one.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, no, I okay.
SPEAKER_06That's you're you maybe you're just holding it until I'm getting guys.
SPEAKER_03I hear the basis of this, I can't disagree. Okay, a donut is definitely candy-esque, right?
SPEAKER_06So you have one category. Yeah, one category. There's no if.
SPEAKER_03Okay, then I'm saying wheat. I'm I'm I'm disagreeing with the cat. There is no wheat category or uh earth. I'm saying earth category. So because because wheat is earth.
SPEAKER_06We have only said one food. Yeah, yeah, this is great. This is good. This is great.
SPEAKER_05Big debate here.
SPEAKER_06Name a food. Yeah, you're in charge of that.
SPEAKER_05This is uh we'll make it tough. Okay. Let's go with Eric's chili with chocolate in it. Oh, it's chips.
SPEAKER_03Jesus. Candy. It's chips. Candy. It's got it's got it's clean. I think it's earth. Whoa. It's candy because there's chocolate in it. Yeah, but it's too many vegetables. First off, can we also talk about that Eric's chili is hands down? I've had a lot of chili in my life, but I'm gonna say I'm gonna say it's top two. Uh I because I like I don't know, I can't think of top two is great. Yeah, no, no, no. I like I would I would argue anything. I'm not I'm not a mathematician, but I think that's in the top ten. Yeah, no, no, no. I will say I would say that like when so the first time we ever had Eric's chili for reference for viewers here was when we had, I believe it was our first Friendsgiving that we had. Um and yeah, I think so. And and we we were cooking it because we were going to a football game like the next day or something, and we were was that our first? I want to say it was our first, maybe second. I can't I can't remember.
SPEAKER_08Yeah, football games.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, I think it was. And so, so yeah, and no, that would have been the second one then. Oh I can't remember, but but either way, like so we're cooking it the day before, and Eric's putting all this what I would call crazy shit in it, but but good, but good stuff. Good stuff, all stuff I hate, but somehow it tastes good. It tastes good, right? You're exactly right, yeah. And then all of a sudden I see him ask his wife, Paige, for the chocolate bars, and I said, Eric, what the hell are you putting in this? And the only words back to me were just trust me. And everybody knows, like, so so Tino's wife and I have very similar uh palate tastes, which is not a lot, and I'm sitting here thinking non-existent, non-existent, right? And so I'm sitting here and I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, there is no way this is gonna be good. And the next day we get to There is no way we get to Pittsburgh and we put it on the uh stove, let's call it the stovetop that I believe you brought. Yeah. It's the best chili I've ever had.

SPEAKER_03Like they don't uh uh like a full horn frog, you like engulf your your fingers. If you're messing with me, uh you fully have me believe, but it are you no, I'm dead serious. It's a real animal. Okay.
SPEAKER_06Well how do two guys know credentials, Mr. Attenborough? I work in vet med now. Yeah, I'm sure you're watching a lot of horned. What's your favorite meal to cook? My favorite meal to cook, so it changes, you know, right now. It's it's middle of winter. Middle of winter. Uh, it's this still applies to me though. Uh, fresh pasta and you make linguine clams with it.
SPEAKER_01I didn't ask Eric.
SPEAKER_06Huh? I asked you. It's gonna apply to you. No, no, it's still it still applies for the winter. Yeah. Linguini clams with fresh pasta. My favorite thing to do right now. Man, this is a tough choice. I agree. Because I really enjoy making Tuscan shrimp, but I do really like making Mary Mead chicken, which is basically the same thing when with chicken.
SPEAKER_05So uh little sun-dried tomato. Exactly.
SPEAKER_06I'm gonna, I'm just gonna, I'm gonna say I like uh Merry Me Chicken. Alright. Yeah, let's go. Uh that's that's definitely chips. Ooh. I don't know. It tastes so fucking good. Maybe can't say pasta? Yeah, my mine's uh Louine clams. Oh your herb. Listen, I've your drink. Your herb. Again, your herb. Ocean drink. Ocean drink. The big drink.
SPEAKER_03Okay.
SPEAKER_06Ocean drink, straw float.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, but like how how do you get ocean drink out of that when it's ocean. With with with wood. It's water. It's wood.
SPEAKER_06Oh, sorry, yeah. I'm sorry. Woodle. I never thought about it. I thought mine was chips.
SPEAKER_07Pasta would lean chips.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. But you had the clams. It's now drinking. That's that's the that's the main event. Yeah. Mine tastes so good. It's fucking candy, bro. Yeah, let's go. Let's fucking go. Sun-dried tomatoes, I lean candy. I could see candy for sun-dried tomatoes, but it's not the star of the dish. When you make Marion chicken, it kind of is. It's just fucking chicken. I don't know if it's I you know what though? I don't think it's the star. It's like a really important like backup vocalist. It's Kevin Cutterline. What's happened back there? Andy Dalton.
SPEAKER_08And he doesn't have any.
SPEAKER_01Alright, my favorite. And I'm gonna make it hard on the earth chicken. Earth uh chip thing. Yeah, chip. Yeah. I like when I like to cook, I like to make make it a drawn-out process. I love the process of it. So some sort of a braised beef sandwich.
SPEAKER_07I'm just making a sandwich that's taking me about 12 hours. So, you know, you rub the beef, you fear the shit out of it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, you put it in a big Dutch oven or a big uh roasting dish with some broth, some vegetables. And then you bake it for brazen, I guess. Yeah, earth flavored several hours.
SPEAKER_02Right now you're at earth.
SPEAKER_01But then you're putting it on a nice brioche or maybe a pretzel bun if you're feeling real fried.
SPEAKER_02You're still at ciabatta. Garlic ciabatta. You're still at earth.
SPEAKER_06Listen, I'm gonna say this once and once only. I fucking hate pretzel buns, and I think they're so goddamn stupid.
SPEAKER_01I think pretzels ow in general, not just the bun.
SPEAKER_06I see, I disagree with you. Why why would why? How can you? How can I? Yeah, it's just so it's such a fad. Pretzels are bread for kids. They they are.
SPEAKER_03Maybe that's why, yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's bread in a fun shape.
SPEAKER_03But but like you add a little bit of salt to it, like, which granted, so again, that's partially. That's why I can easily be a fat ass, and I'm not, because I run four miles a day. But at the end of the day, like you're exactly right. Like, pretz pretzel buns are not good for you. I totally agree with you.
SPEAKER_00No, I'm not saying they're not good for you.
SPEAKER_06I think it's stupid. Anything fatty? I don't like not fatty, fattish, fattish. No.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_06Like, you uh truffle fries? No, thank you.
SPEAKER_03Uh yeah, I agree.
SPEAKER_06Bring me your bland. Your bland is fried.
SPEAKER_03Why do you need mushrooms? Why do you need much?
SPEAKER_06Oh, old bay on fries is good. Delicious.
SPEAKER_03You know who we need here? You know who we need to talk about for old bay fries is is James. Like, you talk about that's he's he's from the milk drinker? Well, the the wife, God bless her, is the milk drinker. He is too. I forgot about that. James is a milk drinker.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but but I was you guys all drink milk drink.
SPEAKER_03I know I drink milk. I have two percent, baby. You guys all drink milk.
SPEAKER_06When do I drink milk?
SPEAKER_07If you didn't, if you don't drink it now, you're sucking out of a titty once.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, yeah, but I'm I'm I'm Eric formerly known as the milk drinker.
SPEAKER_00I don't drink milk now.
SPEAKER_06Like Prince. No, uh no, no, no. Except a lot.
SPEAKER_03I I I get I fully am on board with it.
SPEAKER_06I now milk is delicious.
SPEAKER_03Yes, I I agree.
SPEAKER_06How is it how is it delicious? I don't know.
SPEAKER_05It's not so do you drink milk? It's good. Like when you eat it, it makes my head feel good or makes my mouth feel good. Milk is candy.
SPEAKER_03You don't milk drink, really. Chocolate milk candy. No, that is that you want to talk about a game that you can play that you can get milk candy. Cereal is a candy. 99% of it. He might be right about this. 99% of it is candy.
SPEAKER_06Cereal.
SPEAKER_03Cereal is candy.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, like because it might be cereal. It depends how big the cereal is. Well, I'm just thinking like Lucky Charms.
SPEAKER_06Fruity Pebbles.
SPEAKER_03Fruity candy.
SPEAKER_06All right.
SPEAKER_03Candy.
SPEAKER_06If it like what's big golden grams?
SPEAKER_03Candy. Cinnamon toast crunch? Sugar sugar, candy. Kind of chip? No, I so I okay.
SPEAKER_06I will say cinnamon toast crunch when you eat dry. When you eat it dry, it's a chip. Cinnamon toast crunch when you eat it dry is when you go into that bag? Absolutely not. Any, any, no, it's candy.
SPEAKER_05Anything grab and do this is auto chip.
SPEAKER_06Auto chip? Jolly rancher. I can't break it.
SPEAKER_07Wait, I had sitting there like all right.
SPEAKER_06Sweetest fish. Hmm.
SPEAKER_07Good question.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, uh candy. No crushed candy. No crunch. Wait, so are you saying Lucky Charms is a chip?
SPEAKER_07No, that's candy.
SPEAKER_03No, you just lucky charms. Lucky Charms is this big. Yeah, but but a cinnamon chip's crunch is that big.
SPEAKER_07It's the size of a cheese it, which is a chip. No, it's smaller than that. It's the size of a cheese it.
SPEAKER_03It's you're you're not far off.
SPEAKER_07Lucky Charms is like chinoos. If you're sitting there eating that, you're gonna disagree.
SPEAKER_06All of this. Listen, we can all agree kick sucks. Kicks is stupid. Kicks is insane. Kix is underrated.
SPEAKER_03You want to know what is underrated? Crave. I don't know if you guys have had that.
SPEAKER_06It's it's a chocolate. That sounds stupid. Anything that's telling me how I should feel about it, I'm mad. Don't tell me I'm craving it. No, no, get out of here. Good name. Great name.
SPEAKER_03I don't know what it is.
SPEAKER_06Is it a cereal?
SPEAKER_03That's what I again. I that's it that's a good question. Is it it technically, yes? Kellogg's makes it, so it is. That doesn't mean it's a cereal. Kellogg makes granola bars. Well, that's true. Yeah, you're right. Which is a chip. Yes. I lean crave. Two granola bar candy. But do I think it's a cereal after eating it?
SPEAKER_06What do you think it is?
SPEAKER_03I think it's candy.
SPEAKER_07If you pour milk in it, you do, you can. And it's a cereal, so it's most likely leaning candy unless it's big enough for you to do this.
SPEAKER_06Cereal bar.
SPEAKER_07Which it is.
SPEAKER_06Cereal's not the category.
SPEAKER_03It's not.
SPEAKER_07Cereal leans candy unless it's big enough for you to do this.
SPEAKER_03I was I was telling Jeff, like, I and I don't even know how this came up, but I was like, could you dip cereal in something? You can't.
SPEAKER_06You can dip anything in something.
SPEAKER_05So you can dip it just back to my braised beef.
SPEAKER_08Yes.
SPEAKER_05Braised beef is earth.
SPEAKER_07Yep.
SPEAKER_05Okay.
SPEAKER_01But once it becomes a sandwich, it's chip. Yeah, you got you got earth-flavored chips. Yeah. The flavor is that's its own time.
SPEAKER_06We don't have time for that.
SPEAKER_07Listen, that's hiding down there at 51 with the other. We can't discuss that. Right? Like a sandwich is chip. No matter what's in it.
SPEAKER_03So so an Italian sub is chip.
SPEAKER_07Alright, I put a I put a little jar of mayonnaise oil or something next to you.
SPEAKER_05Can you dip it? You can. What do you dip?
SPEAKER_01Chips. The chips.
SPEAKER_06Could you do me a favor and just say mayonnaise again? Doesn't that he says mayonnaise? Yeah, it's different. Why? I don't know. Mayonnaise. It's my favorite. I feel like it has less syllables when he says it. He's like mayonnaise.
SPEAKER_03Can we also get on like for two seconds here, just on that topic? Mayonnaise fan or not mayonnaise fan? I don't like mayo. I don't like mayonnaise.
SPEAKER_06If I flavor the mayo with something, some garlic, you know, some like uh I don't know, some hot sauce, some paprika with a little bit of garlic. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03But technically, doesn't ranch have mayo in it? Like it's mayo. It's white. It's white. Yeah, it's yeah, I don't. So I guess technically, I would say that I eat mayo through ranch and does blue cheese have mayo matter? Yes. Uh no. Depends on the brand. Depends on the okay. So so like that. So make a mayo you think. I think it's disgusting.
SPEAKER_06All right.
SPEAKER_03Please discuss.
SPEAKER_06Wow. Again, any other foods we want to discover?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, well, I have a big argument we got in the office this week.
SPEAKER_06Love that. I like arguments.
SPEAKER_07What? Mayo mustard. Alright, you're probably out because you don't like mayo, but at least you like aioli, so you're halfway there. I believe that mayo, mayonnaise, is made for beef.
SPEAKER_05Quick quick question. Quick interruption.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. Is there a difference between mayonnaise and mayo in general? Because like I've heard that there's I think it's just an abbreviation. It's just an abbreviation. Okay, like I've heard I've heard I've heard that there's a like start different. I don't I don't eat it, right? Yeah, yeah. Mr. and MR. Okay.
SPEAKER_01I think we're good.
SPEAKER_05Maybe there is, and I'm unaware.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_05Mayonnaise is for beef.
SPEAKER_06This is already interesting. Mustard is for pork. Uh-huh. That's it? Mustards for pork, mayo's for beef, and that's the end of it?
SPEAKER_07In the argument between those two. Like if you put mustard
SPEAKER_06On a burger, you should be locked up. I'm actually gonna um if I put mustard on a burger, if you put mayonnaise on a hot dog, you should be locked up.
SPEAKER_05Hot dogs.
SPEAKER_06I should be locked up. That is my favorite fucking move. I love mayo mustard on a hot dog. That's insanity. It's unbelievable. Why the fuck would you do something? Dude, you spread mayo right in there, and then you lay the hoiner right in that right right in the socket.
SPEAKER_07The mustard on the burger was the same.
SPEAKER_03You shouldn't burn with the socket. I can't get on board. Like I could get on board eating mayo on a burger, but mayo on a hot dog, I I I don't know.
SPEAKER_06I gotta say something though. I if if I'm having a burger, um I will do like you know, like a garlic aioli or something like that. But if there's ketchup on it, I'm adding mustard. If there's adding mustard belongs nowhere near a burger, if there's no ketchup on it, I'm adding probably just ketchup because I'm lazy. I think there's layers to this. I think if you got the frozen burger from Walmart, anything goes. That's a shit burger. But if you're making a nice beef patty, you got uh some chuck, a little ground pork, maybe a little bit of uh uh you can you can't mix it on a burger.
SPEAKER_07Burger's beef. You add pork in there, you got a sausage.
SPEAKER_06All right, fair enough. I actually agree with you. Fair enough. Like, put it in the pan. If you're not gonna wrap it up, put it in the pan, chop it up, and this is a pasta. All I'm saying is if you got like a frozen burger and it's like a shit burger, mayo ketchup.
SPEAKER_01I feel like definitely ketchup burger sauce. Ketchup mustard. The only time mustard should go on a burger is if it's involved in your burger sauce. Where mayo and ketchup are the stock.
SPEAKER_06Well, first of all, any any any real burger, any great burger is gonna have like an aioli on the top and bottom button. Oh, like that's you start there. Uh, you could add a mustard into that, and so uh yeah, if you want to live in Mother Russia, but I I don't think you need a mustard for that because you should already have the acidity from like a caramelized onion, a tomato, a tomato pickle, so it doesn't need the mustard at that point. But I'm saying you're going frozen burger with just bun, the mustard's okay because you do need that little acidity in there. Favorite kind of hot dog. I could do food talk all day, dude. Okay, my favorite kind of hot dog? Okay. Oh, wait, oh wait, wait. Before we move on to the hot dog, okay. Can we uh like put this to the side real quick? Go ahead, Donald.
SPEAKER_03Okay, I just I just want to add one thing, okay? And I'm not saying I'm right, but like you look at fast food restaurants in America, and and they suck, right? All of them do. But I would say, I would argue that 99% of fast food restaurants in America do a ketchup mustard base on burgers, not a he does have a point.
SPEAKER_05He has a point because it is because you say, I'll take a I'll take a I'll take a double whopper, no mustard, please. Wait, hold on.
SPEAKER_07Hold on, hold on. So what's the what's the number one fast food burger in America?
SPEAKER_03That I don't know that. What would you think? Oh, I would say a whopper, probably the Big Mac. Big Mac and mayo.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, that's wow. That's well, I understand, but can I can I just say hold on, I just gotta go back to what you said. You said you said you said whopper. Do you guys know anybody that eats a Burger King? I like their chicken fries. I love their French fries.
SPEAKER_03They're underrated. What? I love their chicken fries. What? I yeah, I know.
SPEAKER_06I I don't know. You guys are the first people I know that go to Burger King. Their french fries are underrated. I don't know Wendy's. First of all, there's nothing, there's no better, there is nothing that tastes better on earth than a fried fries from a fast food place. From McDonald's. McDonald's McDonald's French fries.
SPEAKER_03We can all agree that McDonald's French fries. I get two orders, one to eat, one to sit on. That's how good they are. Right, yeah. McDonald's, I agree that McDonald's french fries are unbelievable. Like they are, it's kind of like their coke. Their coke is 100% the best coke on the market. Like, I do agree their cocaine there is really nice. You're just buying the counter right from Peru. Yeah. Yes, their cocaine is. It is cocaine. Um, but yes, I like I would argue that that, but as far as Burger King goes, uh I I don't like McDonald's or really any other fast food for anything else, but uh Burger King's chicken fries.
SPEAKER_06Alright, well, can I go back? Can we go back to the hot dogs? I'm so sorry. Um American cheese?
SPEAKER_01On a hamburger. I if I'm making it home, yes. If I'm getting it at a restaurant, what else is on the burger?
SPEAKER_05I don't know.
SPEAKER_06Because like I mean, you get it at a restaurant, you can have whatever. I generally lean American. Oh, really? I hate American cheese. Cheddar always cheddar. Cheddar. For me, it's always cheddar. If it's a bacon burger, always cheddar. Because you need that depth of flavor. You don't want the way too close to Canada. That's gonna be it. That you live way too close to Canada, and for some reason you're like Swiss cheese. It depends on the type of burger. What else do you think?
SPEAKER_07If it doesn't have holes in it, I don't want it. If I'm just getting a burger, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles and bacon, I'm getting cheddar. Cheddar, yeah. 100%.
SPEAKER_03Now, I I will tell you guys this. I so I if you ask me what type of yellow cheese I'm gonna get, it's cheddar over American for sure. But if I had to pick, I'd go pepperjack. It's not a bad option because it gives it a little spice, it gives it a little flavor. Actually, here's the thing I put in a phone.
SPEAKER_06I actually like pepperjack on chicken.
SPEAKER_01That's a good thing. Yeah, what if you're gonna do it?
SPEAKER_06I don't like cheese on chicken. You have a fried chicken sandwich?
SPEAKER_01I don't like chicken prime, that's about it. And it's got ice pepperjack on mozzarella. Any cheese on chicken prime? I will have. Any cheese? I if I'm just getting a chicken sandwich, like a bar chicken sandwich, I'm not gonna check it out.
SPEAKER_06All right, let me not. Alright, one more question about cheese quickly, and then we'll get to hot dogs. Yeah. Um we're doing uh what the fuck was my question? Wow, this took this was oh, bacon, bacon, egg, and cheese. Yeah. What are you doing for cheese?
SPEAKER_01Cheddar. I'd probably lean America.
SPEAKER_06I think that's guda. Try it. Try it. Gouda, cheddar? Cheddar. I don't I believe it. The thing with cheese is the right now egg is incredible.
SPEAKER_03But the problem I guess that's the other type of chicken egg, you can't get cheese on gouda. You can't get a cheddar. So I would say my traditional choice is cheddar.
SPEAKER_05Cheddar. You ever realize what an egg is? You're gonna tell me.
SPEAKER_01This is good. Egg is an unfertilized egg that's excreted from the chicken's body.
SPEAKER_04The chicken's period. Similar to a period. Just so you know. Even better.
SPEAKER_06The more you know delicious. I got one more burger thing than we're gonna hot dog. And we're probably running a little bit long. No, we're we're we've got time. The perfect burger, right? And it's it doesn't have to be these ingredients essentially, but it has to be constructed in a certain way. First of all, your bun has to be toasted top and bottom, ideally with butter. Ideally with butter, has to be toasted. Then your schmear of an aioli, I think it has to be an aioli on the right way. And you can add a variation of it. Top and bottom bun, Donald. Both buns. Get the schmear. Yeah, but you already have butter on that. Nope, you don't need it. I'm telling you, we're talking about the perfect burger. Okay. Both top and bottom. Then you layer your beef in there. It should be a combination of beef. I've seen people add veal, ground veal, it's still beef. All up in that bitch. Uh, but that patty should be properly seasoned with at least salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Both sides nice here. Nice and quality, let that garlic powder. Let that patty go rest. Then you get some leafy. Yeah, because if you're doing like a garlic ale, what do you need a garlic powder for? It's garlic is amazing.
SPEAKER_03I will I will add that. I got you. Because again, you guys are all cooks, and this is the last thing, and then we will get to uh hot dogs. Yeah, we've said it six times, right? You guys are 100% correct that the best seasoning in America is SPG. Uh SPG is the best in the world.
SPEAKER_06In America? It's the best in the world.
SPEAKER_03I would say the world uses SPG. Sure. That's fine. So I'm saying America, but let's just say the world, right? Like at the end of the day, you can use that for anything and everything. That's where it should start. Uh don't get me wrong, it it would I can I take other seasonings and make it great, or can you guys take it and make it great? Yeah, but like your basis, anything in America should have or the world should have SPG at some point.
SPEAKER_06I don't know about SPG, but I'll I'll go ahead and say salt and pepper. Definitely salt and pepper. For the burger, for certainly, yeah. I like an SPG. And there needs to be leafy green on there. I like arugula because I'm also the leafy green, also depends on what else is on there. Here we go. Because you get the pepperiness from the uh the arugula, but I'm also gonna do a balsana caramelized onion and put that up on top. Hate that.
SPEAKER_07See if I'm caramelizing onions, I want no leafy green on the burger.
SPEAKER_06Oh, it's the wrong choice.
SPEAKER_01Arugula, I mean chicken sandwich. Well, chicken, purju, mozzarella, steak sandwich as well, arugula.
SPEAKER_06I like the arugula on the burger, balsamic. Because then you don't add a tomato because you've got I hate balsamic. With any I'm not a huge balsamic guy. I hate it, but you know those people who dip their pizza in balsamic? No, that's ridiculous. They should be in institutionalized. Belong in a pattern of page. Well, that's my ideal burger. Let's get the hot dog. Hot dog. I like hot dogs everywhere trying. So you asked you you asked me earlier what my favorite hot dog is. Yes. Okay. In Buffalo, we have the Salem's hot dog. And it's gonna be sacrilege for me to say right now. They're awful, they're terrible. Is this the um hot dogs at your your wedding? Yes. I can't remember. I just know like I just know the onion rings at your wedding made me fall in love with onion rings. Yeah, those onion rings are ridiculously good. And now every time I eat an onion ring, I'm like, that's not as good. It's not as good as you eat. I'm like, this is a stupid. Yeah. Should have got fries. Uh I like a beef frank. Give me a Hebrew national. Hell yeah.
SPEAKER_03Uh so everyone tell me.
SPEAKER_06I like the boar, the boar's head beef behind it.
SPEAKER_03Boar's head, yes. That's nothing but an Acaum natural case combo.
SPEAKER_01Beef pork.
SPEAKER_03See, I'm I'm gonna tell you, I I think, and again, this is my Midwestern rush coming out at me, but I I think a ballpark frank is I like a ballpark of consistent. It's consistent. I like a ballpark. It is Andy Dalton. I actually blow you away, but it'll it'll get you a point out. That's exactly right. That's exactly right. I actually don't like hot dogs.
SPEAKER_02I mean, I don't really either do that. Yeah, I don't either, but like if you're asking, just the shape alone is great.
SPEAKER_03Now, I will tell you this.
SPEAKER_02I will I will tell you this.
SPEAKER_03I'm not a hot dog person, but at a baseball game, you have to have a hot dog.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, because you're completely in the experience that you know you've been told is the experience since you were born.
SPEAKER_03So, like, so it uh to me, while they're probably dog shit hot dogs that these organizations are buying, there's not Fenway boys. There's the Fenway dog, right? Natural casing. Like, again, I hate the Dodgers, Dodger Dogs, like they were unbelievable. Like, I'll take one. I I will I will tell you, like, it they're but the basis of the thing. I I think that when I go to a store. When I go to a store and I buy a hot dog brand, I'm looking at a ballpark frank. I like a ballpark frank.
SPEAKER_06Uh you're gonna kill me with male mustard. That's yeah, no, I I've tried it, but that's insane.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, so the the best hot dog, it's this is pretty like obvious. It's gotta have everything on it. Yeah, if you're getting a generic hot dog, regardless of the brand, regardless of the casing, regardless of how they're cooking, grill, seed, what however ketchup, mustard, pickles or relish, and my personal favorite red onion, but I'll take any type of onion. Yeah, okay.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you would love Ted's hot dogs in Buffalo. I I you would love that fucking place. You could have you could have any hot dog. This is how I know. Oh, so that this is the we're talking about my wife, Sam, for a second. This is how I knew I was gonna marry her. Uh it was like one of our first dates, right? And ever, like, you know, it wasn't really a date because we were we were just hanging out, we wanted to grab some food, and we went over to Ted's hot dogs. And I get up there, I'm I order the chicken sandwich there because I love that chicken sandwich. Uh, she gets the footlong hot dog. Awesome. Foot long, never lived up, never lived up, not even a quarter of it. She has the footlong hot dog, uh, chili dog style. That's great. Yeah. Chili dog style. Gotta get it somewhere. She gets she orders this chili dog style with everything on it. So she gets the chili dog with the relish, with all of the other toppings. Like, and she housed it. That is, that's the woman for me.
SPEAKER_03How do you prefer your hot dog cooked? Okay.
SPEAKER_05I don't care. It's gotta be burnt.
SPEAKER_06Hand seared. Don't care.
SPEAKER_05If it's on the grill, I like a char burn. Yeah, but I prefer steam. Oh, steam. You know what I'm doing?
SPEAKER_06Why I'm grabbing a hot dog? Because I don't know if there's gonna be an extra hamburger.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_06So I'm just gonna I'm gonna do this.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, cook up a Moy's hot dog hamburger.
SPEAKER_06One more Sam story. We go to vacation in Florida every year with the whole family. It's awesome. We have this condo there, it's perfect. Uh, every we we rent the beach all day long. We come back up about three to get ready to like go to dinner or whatever. While she's getting ready, I have to make her a pre-dinner hot dog. She will have two of them. And then we go to dinner, you'll cuck. And then she is she eats the whole meal. It's awesome. I have a I have my I have a chair.
SPEAKER_05I gotta make her a pre-dinner hot dog. I just and there's two of them. You just described an entire porn category. It's called cuckle.
SPEAKER_03Can we talk about the place that we're in is representing Colorado Kool-Aid pretty much? Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_06It is Kool Aid.
SPEAKER_03Colorado Kool-Aid.
SPEAKER_06That's the that's um the Coors Light. Core's banquet. We're running, yeah. That's called an L Way. Like it. Or do we have the last sip? No, we got we do have a last sip, but we're gonna have to move on from the food category. I'm sorry, you know. But we can talk about it. We want to talk about it. Um it's time for things I hate. You hate. No, things we hate. We hate the category things I hate. And I'm just gonna go first. Okay. The house we're gonna the next hour. The house we're in, yeah. We'll be here online. Uh the house we're in currently has I I've only seen two bathrooms, but they both of the toys have the button flush.
SPEAKER_01Yes.
SPEAKER_06And it's not just one button, they have two buttons. And then you got the yeah, and it's got like little like the dots, right? To be like, this is for me, this is for booth, there's more dots for booth. This is stupid. What if I have a rear? Don't know. That's why I don't like this. Don't tell me when I'm flushing, don't tell me how much water I'm using. And I'm sorry, toilets have a handle that you flush. When you're pressing a button, you're not flushing anything. You're just pressing a button, water goes down. You hit that handle, you're actually I'm doing the flushing. Yeah, I'm in control. Yeah, I'm doing the flushing. I I couldn't agree more. I flushes poo-poo.
SPEAKER_07And there's no way it saves more water, or else every stadium in the country with a hundred thousand people in the back those.
SPEAKER_08Oh god, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Don't even start up public restrooms. Those fucking those horse troughs that they just slap in there and then they put the ice like it's doing something.
SPEAKER_03Wait a second.
SPEAKER_06It's not fun. Wait a second.
SPEAKER_03I'm gonna disagree with you.
SPEAKER_06The trough's amazing. The trough's absolutely incredible. Trough is incredible. That's because you guys that's because you guys like looking at other guys' cocks. Well, aside from that, that's an added benefit.
SPEAKER_03No, the trough in a male's in a male bathroom is the most incredible decision ever.
SPEAKER_05So why?
SPEAKER_03Okay, let me let me take one for a second because I can explain.
SPEAKER_06Okay, it is like a uh Buffalo Bills staple that we have troughs in the restrooms at the stadium. No more, no more. But here's the deal they're selling seats. I want to get fucking trough and put it in the bathroom in my basement, yeah, and have a urinal in there. No, incredible.
SPEAKER_01My buddy's brother did one in his mother's garage.
SPEAKER_05The trough's incredible.
SPEAKER_06Just drill the hole, essentially put an old long sink in there, and we didn't have to go inside the stadium. It's incredible. Unbelievable. Here's why the trough is nice. So you get you get separate urinals, there's a finite amount of people that can be there. If I got a gap in the trough and I'm at the game and I don't want to miss any more of the game, and I'm accurate. I don't even like that. You're shoulder to shoulder with these fellas. We're talking about the game, we're talking about the weather, we're talking about what Johnny's doing at Christmas. Don't talk to me.
SPEAKER_03Always be up front. I know I know you're not, I obviously I know you're not an Ohio State fan, but like that's one of the best parts about Ohio Stadium is they still have the troughs. Is it the best part?
SPEAKER_06Do you pee in the bathroom there?
SPEAKER_03I do pee in the bathroom.
SPEAKER_05I pee in as much of the building as I can.
SPEAKER_07That's fair.
SPEAKER_03That's fair. Like I respect that. Go blue. Go blue. But but but but I will I will say, like, the trough, like I I strongly will disagree with you that I think a trough in a sporting event is the best. What?
SPEAKER_06I don't understand. Because all of you are lazy and don't want to wait in line. No, because it's efficient. Yeah, that's what I just said. Well, you said lazy. It's not lazy, it's efficient. It's disgusting. Yeah. I don't even want you guys to hear me peeing. Can I tell you the best part about the trough? You're at a Bills game and it's minus three outside. The steam out of that trough. Disgusting. That's disgusting. Great. That's disgusting. That's disgusting. You're inhaling. Everyone that might see mixed in Buffalo knows exactly what I'm talking about. I'm telling you, when it's that cold out, you're at the game, it's nice. I quit. Alright, can I can I go on the things that I hate? One guy.
SPEAKER_05One guy. Very little potential.
SPEAKER_03Donald's got something he hates. Okay, so something that I hate. Okay.
SPEAKER_07Is it hate? I'm sorry.
SPEAKER_03Is it hate about this house?
SPEAKER_07Anything. Oh life.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Alright. So I have a one a 15-month-old daughter, okay? And I love she's my pride and joy is I love her to death. Like she's she's the best thing that's ever happened.
SPEAKER_06Yeah. We hate her too.
SPEAKER_03That's right.
unknownNo, no.
SPEAKER_03So there is one thing that I have learned in this world that I hate more than anything. Your daughter? Is what is something my daughter does. Okay, so so we're like introducing new foods to her and like you know, trying different things, and she's great about trying different things. But when she's done, like she has a bigger opinion than you do, Eric, of anything in this world. And that's that's saying something, right? That's wild.
SPEAKER_00I do have a baby-sized opinion.
SPEAKER_03She gets to the point where she absolutely will just slap food away, and I hate it.
SPEAKER_00Why? She's not hungry anymore.
SPEAKER_03I no, what? No, the the fact of the matter is. Yeah, it's just like, you know what? Like, let's have a little bit of manners and say, all done. Man, right? She's like or more. It's fun. We but but my my wife, my she, my loving wife has done a phenomenal job of working with her on sign language, and it's all done or more. It's not slap it away. Fuck that shit. I don't want your food.
SPEAKER_06I mean, I understand where you're coming from.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, it like it drives me nuts.
SPEAKER_06Because now we gotta clean all this shit up.
SPEAKER_03That's exactly right.
SPEAKER_06And she doesn't even pay rent yet.
SPEAKER_03That's exactly right. She hasn't gotten a job yet.
SPEAKER_06Listen, unbelievable. Um babies are definitely cats. Babies are cats. Babies are cats. Oh, some babies are dogs.
SPEAKER_03Babies are cats. They're definitely not walking. No, they're they're they're they do it.
SPEAKER_02Let me read it. While they're babies. Gross. They might be bugs.
SPEAKER_00No. Babies are cats, and I'm gonna tell you why. Babies are domesticating you for a time. Babies, but they're gross.
SPEAKER_06But some cats are gross, but they're still domesticating people. Dogs poop outside. Just saying. Babies and cats poop inside.
SPEAKER_04On your lap.
SPEAKER_06Yes, okay. So even more reason why babies and cats. Bugs, you don't know where they poop. Just saying. Alright. That's that's my hate. Anyone? I hate a lot of things, but I don't know.
SPEAKER_07It's a deep. I hate when people say the word irregardless.
SPEAKER_06Oh my god. It's great. This is a good one. Jesus Christ. That word doesn't exist. It's just regardless. You're gonna open up a whole cannon. You just did something really dangerous. Yeah, I you actually should have I hate when people must it on burgers. You should have you should have put this in the one sheet with the irregardless thing.
SPEAKER_07Yeah. Miss I misuse words all the time, but I do it to try to be funny.

SPEAKER_06Like manish. How do you say mayonnaise? He's a manage. Manish. Yeah, here you go. So good the way he does it. He's like Frank Sinatra. Yeah, I know. It's unbelievable. Big old brown eyes. So I do I do the same thing though. I'll misprint, I'll mispronounce like phrases or words to be like funny, right? Yeah. And nobody ever gets it. Like all the time I say, well, what's the that's just that's just the worst case Ontario. No one ever laughs at a show. It's from Trailer Park Boys.
SPEAKER_05Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Irregardless of that. Definitely worse. I'm gonna all of you are gonna be upset. No, you won't be upset with me because you guys won't really give a fuck because you listen to me do this shit all the time. Yeah, but breakfast this morning. If you say the word often and pronounce the T, yeah, I'm mad at you every time you fucking do it. I also feel that way about people who say like what? Yeah. Or which anybody in the subject Dr. Phil, big does not like him. What what gives you the ride?
SPEAKER_03Wait, so you hate often?
SPEAKER_04When people say often, yes.

SPEAKER_01Yeah. I definitely say folded.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, everybody f yeah, that's the word. Folded because it's right. It's fine. The laundry's been folded. Can I tell you why? Excuse me. The laundry's been felled. Can I tell you why? Why? Why is folded and not felled? Why? Because you felled a tree. No, no, that's different. Come on, give me a saying pronunciation. It is. No, it's not. Felled a tree. Felled. Jeff, Jeffrey, you're up. Oh, I this. So every week we struggle because I'm such a positive person. You can't give me that. Right.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_06I hate very little things. Sure.
SPEAKER_03You gotta find something. So I surprised.
SPEAKER_06So I I you watch your fucking mouth. I don't hate a lot of things. Uh, so I I'll surprise them with something I love. Right now, I love getting back into music. Uh, it's just I've had a few opportunities lately uh where we've booked some shows and I've been able to kind of rehearse and practice and jam more. So for me, being able to uh get out there and and and perform a little bit more is something that that I love. I just had I was we we talked about a little bit earlier the uh that uh there's a guy I know that asked me to kind of join his band and kind of fill in for drums for the next year or so, um, and possibly longer, depending how it goes. His dad is his drummer, uh, but and he he is like the jazz drummer in the Buffalo Philharmonics, so he's like really, really good. He took a fall the other day, uh, a couple months ago, uh separated his shoulder, needs needed surgery, so that's gonna be a little bit before he can play again, if he can at all.
SPEAKER_03Um, so I got offered to hopefully speedy recovery.
SPEAKER_06Hopefully speedy recovery. Uh but you know it's it's it's cool that one of the first guys I thought of was me. And I I've played shows with this guy like 15 years ago, all throughout, like when we were like, you know, a big up in Buffalo. Um it was cool that he kind of remembered me and you know, we're we're able to kind of work that out. We we jammed the other day and it worked out really good, and the songs are um you know, getting getting used to all that, but like he's cool with me doing my thing on him, which is nice, but he's not like strict in like exactly you playing like the recording. I can like kind of put my own personality into it, so it's gonna work out uh pretty nicely. And then we got some shows both that are like for a couple thousand people in the audience members. So um I it's just something I'm really really sticking back into. I really enjoy that. You're such a sock, bitch. That's why I love you. Cheers. Yeah, cheers, brother.
SPEAKER_05The game was what you hate. Yeah, like cheers, breaking rules.
SPEAKER_06I love rules. That's right. There we go. Congrats, brother. Yeah, hopefully it works out and all goes well. I hope it goes well. Fucking crushes. The funniest part was like when he pitched it to me out, he's like, Yeah, man, I'm back in Buffalo. We're just gonna play some shows around here in Ellicateville, you know, close by. Every once in a while, there's gonna be like a weekend show in like Boston and uh Toronto, New York City, whatever. I'm like, Yeah, that's that all that sounds that's cool. I'm figuring like you're playing little bar scene shows, like, because like that's what I'm used to doing mostly. And then I end and I end up finding out, like, because I did my own research into it. He's like, Yeah, we're playing down in Ellicateville, you know, down Holiday Valley. And I'm like, oh, cool. We're probably playing in one of the bars down there, no big deal. No, it's uh it's a whole music festival with you know 5,000 people in attendance. So like now the pressure's on. You're gonna be so busy when I learn how to play the piano. Yeah, dude. I'll teach you in an hour to play piano. No, you won't teach me in an hour. I will. You know how I feel about that. All right. Um I kind of hate when people do we all do things? Do we all do something like that? I think we all got it. Um Tino, I'm gonna ask you. We're gonna start with Tino. Because I know Donald's gonna be hilarious and it's gonna be awesome. So let's see what you got. All right. Shoot. What's something that nobody's talking about, but they should be starting with me.
unknownI don't think so.
SPEAKER_06Thanks for whispering in my ear.
SPEAKER_01I don't know.
SPEAKER_05That's okay. Nobody's talking about it. What should we talk about?
SPEAKER_06Or you think somebody, you know, something I can I can go. Donald, did you have something?
SPEAKER_04Um yeah, so uh people have recently talked about it, but people are talking about it, so it doesn't fall into the category.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06Go ahead and go. All right, I I'll give you kind of an example here. Basically, it's something going on in pop culture or something, but nobody's really like it's not it, it doesn't have a lot of viewing.
SPEAKER_03Well, part part but that that that's kind of that's kind of where I was going with pop culture, was kind of where I was going with it. And and it has to do with the recent halftime show. Um everybody's talking about it. Well, yeah, everybody's talking about it.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, so that can't be it, yeah. Yeah, well, we were doing it. Unless you're talking about the kid rock.
SPEAKER_03Well, yeah. No, hey, in fairness, the ratings are the ratings, and there were 10 million viewers that viewed it. So, like, there's there's 10 million people talking about it. I read five. There were five on at one point, and then they reached I think I think they reached up to like 9.8, is what the I was I was I was away.
SPEAKER_06And I was three point, yeah.
SPEAKER_03Okay, it was three point two Nielsen.
SPEAKER_06Well, I I I read five. Yeah. And then I I heard the ten, like they did a lot with bots to get those numbers up. Sure, yeah. And you gotta get your numbers up.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, all right.
SPEAKER_06But not like that.
SPEAKER_03I hey, uh again, I like I said, I I'm going off, like I said, it was 9.8.
SPEAKER_06Also, what do you think 9.8, 3.2?
SPEAKER_03It doesn't matter. It it it nobody watched that show. Nobody watched look, at the end of the day, like it it you're either watching the halftime show of the NFL or you're just walking away, right? Or you're turning the channel to something else, right? Like, I'm not saying anybody watched the the TP at TP USA, like, but at the end of the day, like my my point was uh uh no, never mind.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, people are talking about that. Yeah, people are talking about that. We had a whole podcast. Yeah, we we talked about this in the last pod. Um a couple of major points is they had less viewership than the puppy bull. Good, good watching. Tino says good watching. Sure. Uh and um based on the timestamp on the true social post by Donald Trump, he also didn't watch the turn.
SPEAKER_03No, he did, he did not. If you if you look at if you look at what he w he watched the halftime show of which I I think is in kudos to get give the president some credit, um he kept that on at halftime, even though he said that he was not going to. Um I think I have a different take on that.
SPEAKER_06I think he only watched it to complain about it.
SPEAKER_03Sure, which is fun, but like he still it's so funny.
SPEAKER_06Oh, can I can we just argue for a moment? Let's go. Because you always do this to the president. You are like like psychically linked to his brain, you know exactly what his motives are. Well, how do you like maybe maybe the president was sitting there like, of course, I'm gonna watch this. Like, who the fuck's gonna watch that TP USA shit? Yeah, uh but I I guess I guess I'm saying that based on his own response to it. Well, no, I mean, but I like the I all I'm saying is we don't know what this motherfucker is thinking, or what we know, but we know what he did. Yeah, we know what he did, which is complain about it.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, well he I complained about it, yeah.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, but you you complained about a subsect of it. Like you were you were able to say it was beautiful, it was a good, it was a good performance, it was visually stunning, uh, and I didn't like this part. I'm just saying, like, do we think it's fair to always say like we know what people are thinking or what's in their heart?
SPEAKER_01I just don't think it's fair.
SPEAKER_06I mean, I'll all I said was uh what I think happened based on what happened. The so like I give you that okay. But I'll still say this. Can I explain why for a second? Like I explained. No, no, no, but that's that that's not my point with him. My point with him is based on the timestamp from his post, he was clearly watching the halftime Super Bowl because that's when he posted. No, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, his videos that he was watching the halftime.
SPEAKER_06No, I know he was. And he complained about it.
SPEAKER_03But what I'm saying is what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is the evidence that I have the complaint what he must have been.
SPEAKER_06Have you ever watched something and been like, not finished it completely and been like, man, this shit is trash? I mean, yeah. All right. Yeah, were you watching it with the intention of saying this shit is trash? Well, we talked we talked about this though. We the timestamp isn't like in the middle of the halftime show, it's like right as it was ending. So he watched the whole thing.
SPEAKER_03Oh, yeah, almost. I I I think and again, I didn't say it. And I would say this, like, I think we could all sit here and agree that I would say his estate at Mar-a-Largo is for sure big enough to have not only the halftime show on, but there were enough TVs that he had the Turning Point USA on. Yeah, to be background.
SPEAKER_06Nobody watched TP USA. Not even the president.
SPEAKER_03He knew that shit was gonna be bad. 3.2 million viewers would argue different.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, but in terms of viewership, it that that's the same number as zero.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, uh, right. But but I would also say that like who cares? Yes, that's exactly right. So so so my my point, what I was going to say is what nobody was talking about from but it it ultimately led into talking about it recently, all the way up to the Super Bowl, was I gotta go to Lunch. No, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Nobody's talking about we're good. No, I I I I no I I think that um this whole 51st state thing and all like not just Puerto Rico, like forget that. Like all this, like whether it's Virgin Islands, whether it's you know, Canada, as far as I go, yeah, Greenland, stuff like that. Like it's just we're at a point where like we have 50 states. Like the number. My opinion is we don't need any more states, right? Like, and and like people were talking about this, and it's something that we don't need to talk about because we have 50 states.
SPEAKER_05This is Pinky, don't you want to take over?
SPEAKER_06Listen, I'm appreciating your opinion right now, but for the next time, Donald, we do this, it's something nobody is talking about. Right, no, no, no, they shouldn't be not something they shouldn't be talking about.
SPEAKER_03Hey, record, go back and look. Like, I try to defer that I was like, hey, we've already talked, like, this is now being talked about, right?
SPEAKER_07Here's something nobody's talking about. Everyone is talking about Bad Bunny was in Spanish, Tid Rock was in America. Um, who cares?
SPEAKER_04Central Northern American.
SPEAKER_05Sure.
SPEAKER_01Two, the halftime performance pays to be the halftime performance. He does not get paid, or she does not get paid to do it. You know what?
SPEAKER_06Anyone who's upset about bad money performing like Kid Rock should have paid more money to be the halftime show. Well, I'll you know what though? Even all right, I agree with you, but can we just say I was reading the players because the Super Bowl was in California, basically, because California has the jock tax, they have to pay to be there at the every state has a jock tax. No, no, no, not like California. A lot of states have a jock tax. The the tax rate differs between states and what the jock tax is. So California's jock tax meant that because it was played in California and they have seven duty days, they pay those tax for seven days based on what they got paid for, they what they got paid for the Super Bowl plus their entire salary. So they got they had to pay more in taxes than what they got paid. Yeah, Sam Jarnold owed. Yeah. I I was thinking that and that you're you're supporting the I don't think that I don't think that's okay. You're you're you're you're why does everybody think that's okay? Why hold on? Excuse me. If you're doing something and you're doing a job, you're entertaining people, whatever it is, you get paid to do it, you should not have to pay to do that job. No, you're paying uh you pay taxes. But he paid more in taxes than what he got paid to do the job. The reason I'm okay with it is so he got paid like 179 mil or 179,000 to be at the Super Bowl. He paid like something like 200 something or whatever. Yeah, something crazy. You're protesting. So you are uh that's what that's what I'm doing. I'm talking about him. No, no, no.
SPEAKER_07Uh obviously he's not going to, but like I I think the very, very wealthy should pay taxes.
SPEAKER_01They do pay taxes, they should pay more taxes than everyone. They do pay more taxes than everyone. Off occurrence that something like that happens, but they okay, you still have 40 million.
SPEAKER_06But they do pay taxes, and they do pay tax more taxes than everybody else. So I don't I don't you're but but I'm saying the off the the the obscure because if that thing was in Texas, you'd pay zero tax when they were right. That's the point.
SPEAKER_01That's my point here, right?
SPEAKER_06So so they shouldn't play do the Super Bowl anymore in California.
SPEAKER_01Where should they do it then?
SPEAKER_00Not in California, right?
SPEAKER_06Anywhere the players do it in New York? Anywhere the players it'd probably be the same. No, it's not the same. It'd be close. No, California's jock tax is so much that this doesn't happen any in any other state where the Super Bowl is playing. Can I interject real quick? What we're forgetting, though, is endorsements that does not have the jocks tax. No, it doesn't matter about endorsements. Well, it does it. This is his job. This is his job. He's putting his body on the line. Yeah. I he should get paid for it. He shouldn't have to pay to put the his body on the line.
SPEAKER_08He didn't $40 million.
SPEAKER_06No, he didn't. Because what's happening? Sorry, no. The $40 million is for his season.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_06That's not included in the Super Bowl. He doesn't get paid to play in the Super Bowl. Sure. Sure. But he's going to get he's going to get $5 million in endorsements. No.
SPEAKER_07You get paid for the regular season because you're not guaranteed to make the playoffs. You technically don't get paid in the playoffs. Those are bonuses. Yeah. So if you don't want your bonus and pay tax on your bonus, don't play in the game. But the uh hold on. That's not a salary.
SPEAKER_06That's not sorry, he's not paying taxes. He's paying extra. He's getting more than what he was paid.
SPEAKER_07Correct. Or else every single player would just go play in Texas or Florida.
SPEAKER_01No, no, no, no, no. No. That's what the job has started because of Magic Johnson. And every best.
SPEAKER_06It's an unintended uh consequence is that you pay a Super Bowl in uh California, you're gonna end up paying to play in the Super Bowl. And an unintended consequence of having a kid is you don't sleep.
SPEAKER_01Can I it's still your choice to have the kid or not? He could have chose to not play in the Super Bowl. Yeah, except it's a personal choice. Except it's a personal choice.
SPEAKER_06No, it's not. The government is is putting a gun to your head and saying, I'm gonna take your money.
SPEAKER_01But he could have said, I'm not playing.
SPEAKER_06I'm not gonna play in the super bowl. Who's what uh what football player is gonna say I'm not playing? Well, I think that's I think there's this point. I don't think I don't think the football player cares at all. The choice is still there. I'm not saying he does care. I'm saying it I it's wrong. He's working. I mean, I I will say he's working if the rate works out. He he signed his contract knowing.
SPEAKER_07Signed his contract knowing. This has nothing to do with his contract. No, I know, but he signed his contract knowing.
SPEAKER_01I get paid from week one to week 18. After that, it's just bonuses, and wherever I end up, I have to pay the job tax. That's not a new thing that started in 1989.
SPEAKER_06Nobody said it was a new thing. Yeah, well, I think what he what he said was that that the jobs tax the job tax rate in California is wrong because the tax in California is higher.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, cannot buy interject here. Well, but it was still his choice to play the game. Sure, sure.
SPEAKER_06But you got you guys saying the same thing. He's obviously it's a but it's wrong for him to pay to play in the Super Bowl. It's wrong. What you're really saying is that it's not disagreeing with you.
SPEAKER_07No, no, because it's the it's the the off circumstance that that happened. His bonus was less. Than what he would have played, would have been paying if he played somewhere else. And then in another year, if he does it again, he'll get a bigger bonus.
SPEAKER_05And then a lesser.
SPEAKER_00But my thing is, is if like if you work, you should get paid. You don't pay to work.
SPEAKER_02This is why that's the point. But he does get paid. There's an article that came out or an interview. You get paid for the regular season, no one that if you get playoffs, you're doing it for free.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, you're absolutely right. Except you get paid to be in the Super Bowl. There's a playoff bonus per round. Yeah, I understand. So is Super Bowl around? Sure. Okay, so you get paid to be in the Super Bowl. You get a bonus. Bonuses different.
SPEAKER_07Bonuses taxes are different than salaries.
SPEAKER_06They are, but you come away with money. You don't pay more than what the bonus was. That's the that's my point.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, so his point is very the tax break. I get what you're saying. Yeah, I'm not saying that it is fair, but I just have a hard time being like so that's what you sign up for. You do the through bowls in California.
SPEAKER_03So this is why, and there's there's actually an interview that happened two weeks ago, and I know a lot of you don't follow golf like religiously, like I do. But Joel Damon, for example, okay, he came out a couple weeks ago. He grew up in Seattle, so he grew up on the West Coast. But he talked about how if you look at a lot of PGA tour fields, um, and and most players, it's a little different than obviously a team sport per se, but a lot of players have their choices of where they want to go. You look at the PGA tour fields and the events in California, and the PGA tour season is kind of set up a little different where you know it starts in Hawaii, the season does, and then it goes to California slash Phoenix or the West Coast, uh, and then moves to Florida in March, um, and then you know, all over from there because as the season gets warmer. But a lot of PGA tour fields in uh the events in California do not get a lot of the big name players because they have to set a tax aside for all their earnings that they get because of the job tax, right? Because of because of that. And so so it it is a choice, but I think to your point, I I strongly disagree with that in the aspect that these guys are going here and they're professionals and they're and they're competing. And if they make the again, I'm using golf, but let's just use the Super Bowl as well. You're putting your body on the line, you're putting your career on the line, and you're still having to pay out what you're earning. Like that that's assigned. It feels wrong.
SPEAKER_07Wait, you're also I get it. It feels wrong, but you're you're still getting paid. Yeah, no, no, you're not getting paid.
SPEAKER_03Because you paid, you paid. Well, the golf the golfers in general are technically getting paid, but they're having to set aside a large chunk amount of their like for instance, Joe.
SPEAKER_02So it's a nurse.
SPEAKER_03Joel Damon made I think $379,000. Yeah, but a nurse, uh nurse takes home money.
SPEAKER_02He lost almost $200,000 because there's no job tax on a nurse. Right?
SPEAKER_01Because them coming to Boston versus them going out of Texas, there's there's no benefit one way or the other.
SPEAKER_03But but I agree with your point. Like if I was the NFL, let me rephrase that. If I was an NFL player or organization, I wouldn't if I would never want my team to play in the Super Bowl the year it was in California.
SPEAKER_06Yeah, if I was the head of the PA, I'd be like, we're not doing this anymore.
SPEAKER_03Yeah, right.
SPEAKER_07Yeah, I think to put a but that's the thing that they have a PA.
SPEAKER_05Yeah, they they they agreed to it.
SPEAKER_07Yes, I yeah. So now either fucking play or don't.
SPEAKER_06That's your choice. I understand what you're saying, right? So it doesn't change the fact that it's wrong. To put to put a bow to put a bow on it, right? Uh the jock tax of California is is too high. It is it is a little bit stupid that like you have to pay more in taxes than you earn from the game. However, they did agree to do it, and I don't think any player actually cares about that, but it feel it feels a little bit wrong. So I think that we can put a bow on that with this exclamation point. Um, Sam Darnold, bug.
SPEAKER_03No, Sam Darnold dog. Dog. I think he's a bug.
SPEAKER_04I think he's water.
SPEAKER_07Dog. I'm not doing this to pickle for. I was stinking, cat.
SPEAKER_08No, no, he's said he's a little skittish.
SPEAKER_03He may be a little skittish, but the the dude has continued like has continued to bite back and has come back and been stronger, has grown over the years and is stronger than he's ever been. All right, fair.
SPEAKER_07Well like him because he kind of looks like Andy Dalton.
SPEAKER_02He's a little bit of ginger in him, right? Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Um, he's also chips. I'm not I'm not eating him. No, he's earth. Let me know. He's definitely not candy.
SPEAKER_01He's earth.
SPEAKER_05No, no, he's sweaty. Salt. Chips. Yeah, he might be chips.
SPEAKER_06But don't you have to cook chips? Yeah.
SPEAKER_07I'm sure he's bleeding some warm standings. All right.
SPEAKER_06All right, we did good. We've reached an hour and a half, so we're gonna wrap things up. Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me. Cheerio, boys. Cheerios. Cheers, Paul. Cheers. It'll be alright.
SPEAKER_01I haven't paid for my own computer in my life. Yeah.
SPEAKER_06Hold on. Wait, everybody, just repeat after me. Woogie Boogie. Woogie Boogie.
SPEAKER_08Woogie Boogie. Woogie Boogie? That was awesome.
