00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:30.319
the US, borning news. It
makes me have tensions are high. It's

13
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:38.920
airports and Hamburgers. Fister clinched airports

half hour sit down Went to Bend skin

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.879
Show yesterday. Can I just say
excellent? It was excellent text. I

17
00:01:53.959 --> 00:02:01.680
loved it, not long form,
open micmfortable, comfortable. Yeah, he

18
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.079
was comfortable with people. They're great. I don't know. I just thought

19
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.960
it was great. I got you
got so much info, including which one

20
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.120
of our coworkers got a huge bonus. That was amazing. That was incredible

21
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.599
radio. We'll get that to your
ride at eight o'clock. Not to toot

22
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:22.240
our own horn. And there are
a ton of very talented people that do

23
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:28.639
this job in this market, but
you couldn't have asked for two better moderators

24
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.360
for that interview with Dark than Ben
and Skin. And they kind of do

25
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.159
good cop bad cop in a way. They're brilliant, where Skin is is

26
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.039
sort of the more knowledgeable about the
MAVs and everything, and then Ben resets

27
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:44.400
everything from and even you know,
does it with hey, look I'm an

28
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.680
idiot. Yeah, but he asks
it a little bit, that topper question

29
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:51.599
that Skin may not feel comfortable doing. That's really a brilliant, hard question.

30
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.759
He asks it very simply, and
it's a perfect question too. Yeah.

31
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.280
Oh, I thought it was I
thought it was really good. I

32
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.439
need too A lot of stuff too
about the game. I felt like I

33
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:09.120
knew more about gambling and if that's
gonna get legalized in Texas, And maybe

34
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.719
I'm not so sure. Maybe it
doesn't matter for the money that was put

35
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.080
in, but we've learned no matter
what, whether gambling gets legalized or not,

36
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:23.960
the Addison family put money into this
town because Yeah, DFW's growing,

37
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.159
like, climate's pretty good. Probably
the state income tax thing, probably,

38
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:35.759
and probably we'll be able to sway
some legislation if we're being totally real.

39
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.199
But that interview I opened my eyes
to some mother things as well, So

40
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.840
that'd be fun eight o'clock, isn't
that at eight? DA have into some

41
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.680
of that noise? He said Venetian
like four times. Venetian was said multiple

42
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:52.039
times, And he's absolutely right.
I've always thought, you know, we

43
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:54.000
want a new thought. But why
do people come here? You know,

44
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.719
why do you say, where are
you going on vacation? I'm going to

45
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.879
Dallas. No one says that unless
you have family here. We've said that

46
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.400
for years. Right, we need
an answer to that question. We need

47
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.240
gondolas on the Trinity River. Dude, maybe the three of us could get

48
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:13.680
jobs. Is gondola operators? You're
kind of yeah, dressed for the part.

49
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.480
I kind of a striping shirt on, and I have a beret in

50
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:20.879
my back. Let me fish it
out, gondola man, and I love

51
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:27.319
boats. I'm predisposed to be successful
in boats. Hi. I'm Mike Siroy

52
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:33.079
from Going Going Gondola. Is there
a new podcast that's your new business,

53
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:39.040
Going Going Gondola? Yeah? Also, I have a stick to push this

54
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.759
thing around. I don't quite know
how this works. If you look to

55
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:47.480
your right here on the Trinity,
you'll see Syringe Beach, the story we've

56
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:53.160
been dodging at eight thirty, the
hot air balloon story. Yeah, finally.

57
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:57.399
Also, I've been trying to bury
this for three days. Oh you

58
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.920
have? Yeah, I was,
we weren't. You're part a big balloon.

59
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.399
Yesterday the listeners started challenging us.
They're sitting in talkbacks saying, what

60
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.360
are you guys gonna hit this?
Yeah, you guys are running from the

61
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.439
truth, Like, no, we'll
get it and we're gonna move it.

62
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.560
And I was gonna do it in
his normal time slot of eight thirties the

63
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.480
scuttle buts at eight thirty today.
Damn it. As as we have forced

64
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.560
Danny to comment on a Tragedy,
the Truth, the Hot Air Balloon,

65
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:28.560
the Truth of the Skies, something
call it nine involving television. The Emmy's

66
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.399
put out a thing of the seventy
five most iconic TV moments of all time,

67
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:33.600
and they showed a little video of
it, but they didn't show you

68
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:38.040
the list. And I found the
list. I have it, and I

69
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.600
pulled some adio from some of these
cool ones, and it's fun. I

70
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.279
think it'd be fun to for you
guys to think about in the next,

71
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:46.079
you know, a few hours before
we get to it. I told you

72
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.439
guys not to look at the list. What is the most iconic TV moment

73
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:53.879
of all time? What is it
for you? Text in to one four

74
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.240
or eight one seven seven eight seven? Can I just asked one? Is

75
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.800
Clarice saying the mountain climber was gay
not blind? Is that on there?

76
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.639
Okay? First of all, Notchlorice
said, Cynthia is a Ghanta. Okay,

77
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:08.920
I don't think you're pronouncing that properly. Should be just because you have

78
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.480
a Latin wife, you don't have
to roll your ours, dude, I

79
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:16.360
would like, can we do our
top ten? Pause? I go through

80
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:23.360
a J. Clemente, the news
guy from from North Dakota is the number

81
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:27.720
one news moment in my life at
least. What's that one. It's the

82
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:32.399
one where his co anchor Van two, why do you don't make me get

83
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.879
my hard drive out? Dude?
Do it later? Van two is his

84
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:43.879
co anchor and she introduces aj Clement. It's his first broadcast, and then

85
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:53.319
the off the side off Mike's going
gay s k s h oh oh,

86
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.360
yeah, I'm used to being from
the East coast. Yeah. And the

87
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:02.480
teas was a deadly avalanche kills five. No, the tea's for the newscast

88
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:11.920
was a fun time for the disabled
and it shows a couple wheelchair ridden kids

89
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:17.240
snow sledding, and then a deadly
avalanche kills five follows it up, Like,

90
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:20.759
don't put those two stories together.
Was there an avalanche on the same

91
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:26.759
mountain they were sledding on? Oh
my god, speaking of what you just

92
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:31.279
said, we all pretty much make
the same trek. And once we get

93
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.800
close to work where we have to
go kind of north on the tollway and

94
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.959
then flip around at the Spring Valley
exit. And we've talked about the little

95
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.839
homeless encampment that's there. Yeah,
I saw an unfortunate addition to it today.

96
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.040
Maybe it's been there before, but
I noticed it for the first time

97
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.839
today. The wheelchair. Oh yeah, right outside one of the little makeshift

98
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:57.920
tent sleep sleeping bag zones that they
have. I saw a wheelchair sitting there.

99
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.560
So if things weren't bad enough for
these folks out there trying to navigate

100
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:07.439
eleven degrees overnight, one of them
can't walk. Well, you don't know

101
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:11.959
that. That may just be acquired
merchandise, you know, it could be

102
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.879
should have a chair, Yeah,
definitely, it's a chair. I mean

103
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:20.839
wheels on it. It's a pretty
nice item. All of our chairs have

104
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.079
wheels out them, exactly. We
have a couple extra ones in there.

105
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.720
Do me just take one of these
chairs after the Spring Valley exit and just

106
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639
see if anyone needs it. Please. That's kind of cold out there.

107
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:37.919
How do you think they feel?
Well, I think they feel very cool.

108
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.840
You should take them your your power
bar. That's why I donate to

109
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.120
the Warm Fund, which my friends
as Sharing Life, who buy hotel rooms

110
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:52.840
for as many homeless people as they
can fix two donations from quality citizens like

111
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:58.960
yours truly. Klamath National Force Radio
host of the Year Kevin Turner quality citizen.

112
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.399
Kevin Turner, Well, Kevin Turner
just gave a big ass rundown of

113
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:05.320
our show. I hear a lot
of action, I hear a lot of

114
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.039
fun. I hear a lot of
reasons to tune in. One thing that

115
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:11.200
I will ask you to do.
If you're listening right now, just give

116
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:15.279
us an extra segment. You know, when you get to work, maybe

117
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.759
you're driving in, you're listening,
you're really enjoying what you hear when you

118
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.279
get to work, Flip it over
to the iHeart app and just give us

119
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.840
one more, one more segment,
two more. Let's start with one,

120
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:33.960
because let's be honest, this is
kind of an acquired taste. And if

121
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.600
you don't like it at first,
maybe you hear one segment you're like,

122
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.240
I don't know, I don't get
those guys. Give it a chance.

123
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.320
Yeah, I'm trying to love it. You will love it. Give it

124
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.720
one extra segment, and before you
know it, you're going to understand the

125
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:52.200
vibe, you're going to understand the
language, you're going to understand the senses

126
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.919
of humor, and you're going to
become addicted. Yeah, don't judge a

127
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.440
book by one segment. Give us
one extra one another reason to listen.

128
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.679
No, not too w you may
break into something. What if we can

129
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.480
learn something about something you might give
a damn about. We're not gonna beat

130
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.759
you over the head with ins and
outs of cowboys minutia. But what if

131
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:11.799
they do hire or fire a head
coach today? We'll be the first to

132
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:16.600
tell you first before even Jerry station. I can guaranteemn to you that you

133
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:20.000
can. Yeah, they'll be over
there talking about God knows what. How

134
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.080
can you guarantee that though, because
I dude, I'm on top of stuff.

135
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.559
Oh, but you can't guarantee it. Oh, I guarantee it.

136
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:31.240
I'm dude, you're gonna like the
way you look? I guarantee it.

137
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.879
I So we're gonna be on top
of that for you too. We give

138
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:41.639
you another thing, Danny, Text
one friend and tell them if you like

139
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.600
it, give you one more.
Even if you don't like it, give

140
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.879
it one more segment. That's what
I'm saying. The most colost minded people

141
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:56.399
in the world just go, Okay, what language was that? It's dufus,

142
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:05.919
that's what That's how dufus is talk. No, you don't know yet.

143
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:11.960
It's easy to like the the popular
band that's been around for thirty years,

144
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:16.879
like you two, that just keeps
churning out thoughtless records. It's the

145
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.399
same thing every time. But don't
you want to be in on the the

146
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.720
cool hip band that nobody knows about, and then you can tell your friends

147
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.039
it's like, Hey, listen to
these guys. This band is awesome.

148
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.440
I think it's kind of hard to
like you too, to be honest.

149
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:37.480
You know My point is, and
we're Nirvana, Yeah, Nirvana maybe more

150
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:46.960
like sound Garden. Garden's dead.
Don't say we're sounding I'm talking in the

151
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:52.080
past. You nutsack sound Garden before
they did like Black Hole Sun, like

152
00:11:52.120 --> 00:11:58.159
the New Black Crows. You're a
dingling. Come on, we're having fun

153
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.120
today, so let's getting down on
it. Tell yeah, Mike, you

154
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:05.840
did something. I went on an
adventure I want to tell you guys about,

155
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:13.200
and I think everyone listening could with
a little effort, because it took

156
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:20.360
a lot and significant investment, anyone
listening could go on a similar adventure.

157
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:24.120
Can I tell you on my home
front? This has come up? Has

158
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.879
it multiple times? Just because I
know what you're about to talk about.

159
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.360
Yeah, because this has been a
big story to me. In the Dallasmore

160
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.240
News on that Sarah Blaskovich brought it
to our attention. I think on the

161
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:37.320
Speakeasy a while back. I think
that's probably the first I was made aware

162
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:41.600
of it was when Sarah Laskovitch was
on and told the tale of going to

163
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:48.799
on this food journey and I did
it on Saturday afternoon. And I want

164
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.759
to tell you, guys, want
to share the story. This is something

165
00:12:50.799 --> 00:12:54.799
anyone can do. Yes, I
think I'm on the wait list, are

166
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.840
you. Yeah, let's cut to
it. There's a place in town called

167
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:07.159
she By Scratch that I visited along
with Sweet Christina, my brother Cash Siroy,

168
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:13.240
and my sister in law Mary Siroy
on Saturday. Now, once I

169
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.320
heard Sarah talking about it, there's
a big article the Dallas Observer about it.

170
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:24.679
This thing has been successful in assorted
cities in America. Like I know

171
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.399
one of the first ones open in
a penthouse suite at the Beverly Wilshire four

172
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:33.799
Seasons, right, Like this is
all fancy boy stuff. And they have

173
00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.039
a Montecito, California location which got
a Michelin star in twenty twenty one and

174
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:41.480
retained it in twenty twenty two.
Damn, right, is it hard to

175
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.080
retain the Michelin star. I think
it's very hard to retain hard to get

176
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.279
one. Have you ever ead you, guys, to your knowledge, have

177
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.840
you ever eaten a Michelin big settar. I'm aware of the significance, but

178
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:56.559
I've never enjoyed be sixprised. You. What I would be surprised is the

179
00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:01.360
hostess there, the Michelin man.
Yeah, the Michelin man, agree too.

180
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:07.480
Hello. Awesome were in Italy last
year? We went to one restaurant

181
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:11.559
that had a Michelin star and it
was awesome. And it wasn't even like

182
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.799
that fancy. It was just fun
and cool And I ate a taco join

183
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.679
a lot and their next to a
tire store. Does that count? It

184
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.200
does count. Look, I'm not
bougie boy, but once or twice a

185
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.960
year I try to do something very
nice for people who I love. So

186
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.879
I gave Christina and I gave Cash
and Mary, my brother and sister in

187
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.679
law, a gift on Christmas Day
that we're going to go to this dinner.

188
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:43.840
So this was a Christmas present for
people who do nothing but love me

189
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.080
and take care of me and do
incredibly nice things for me every chance they

190
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.840
get and that does include food and
beverage and all sorts of things. Trips.

191
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.279
No, I don't think I've ever
been taken a trip from them.

192
00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:00.440
But whatever, the food and beverage, Danny, I'm just playing the seed,

193
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.279
lots of food and beverage. So
I heard of this place, Sushi

194
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.840
by Scratch, and I was like, all right, I want to check

195
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.600
it out. The rules here are. You have to get on a website.

196
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.799
You could just google Sushi by Scratch. You have to get on this

197
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:13.240
website. You can just google,
it'll pop up. I googled it,

198
00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:18.600
nicyck something, Dallas News, Dallas
Observer, Joe Rogan's favorite sushi spot comes

199
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.000
to Dallas, Okay, because there's
one in Austin that I know Joe Rogan's

200
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:28.480
a huge fan of that's huge,
tons of articles. So the way you

201
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:33.120
do this is the first of the
month, and obviously check it out.

202
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.080
Because don't know if I'm getting this
exactly right, but I think it is

203
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:39.480
the first of every month at ten
or maybe eleven a m. This says

204
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:43.200
noon, but yeah, okay,
noon Central, Yes, that's right.

205
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.080
So they open up reservations and you
have to get on there just like you're

206
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:50.919
buying brand new Nikes the second they
drop or whatever crap you've ever bought online

207
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.159
where you have to go nuts and
get lucky tickets right tickets to a concert,

208
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:56.679
refresh or fresh, get lucky,
get lucky. You have to kind

209
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:03.720
of do that. And I was
there the second that clock struck noon and

210
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:08.799
refreshed refreshing. A date popped up, which was Saturday, January thirteenth at

211
00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:15.919
five pm. I'm like, so
four fine now allegedly, like in Seattle,

212
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.399
there's one hundred thousand people on the
wait list. It crease yeah,

213
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:26.200
like it's it's cool. Wow.
But anyway, this was I think December

214
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.759
first that I booked it for January
thirteenth. Okay, so you have to

215
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.120
book it six weeks out the next
month, right, and uh, anyway,

216
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.039
the day came Saturday. So I
told them about this exciting dinner we're

217
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:38.720
gonna have, yeah, dressed nice, but you don't have you know,

218
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:42.799
if we're a tie or anything.
It's nothing crazy, And they kind of

219
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.759
figured out what it was, so
we mobilize. You get there about a

220
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:49.600
half an hour early. And the
trick is this is at the Adolphus Hotel

221
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.639
and you don't know where it is. It's not at a restaurant. You

222
00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:56.799
wait till that morning and then they
text you. That's part of the fun

223
00:16:56.799 --> 00:16:59.240
of it. It's if you feel
like you're going to a speakeasy or like

224
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:03.599
a very secret dinner society something like
that, and they text you the floor

225
00:17:03.839 --> 00:17:08.079
and hotel room at the Dolphice that
you need to go to and knock on

226
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.599
the door. We do that,
knock on the door in the second they

227
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:15.519
open it. They're all well dressed, very like eyes wide shut, low

228
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:21.480
light, Oh, what the hell's
going on? And they knew our names

229
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:26.240
instantly, like mister Siroy and they
said Christina cash Mary. I mean they

230
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.920
said all their names. They knew
who we were. You didn't even have

231
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.480
to announce who you were like the
second No, not like Kevin walking into

232
00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:37.319
a room and screaming Kevin, Yeah, Kevin. I wonder if when you

233
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:45.000
submit your your reservation and they have
your name, I guarantee you they've got

234
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:51.240
somebody working inside that gets on social
media, maybe finds your photo. They

235
00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:53.319
know what you look like, they
may know certain things about you, because

236
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.000
I think that's a thing in some
of these higher end restaurants. I think

237
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.720
that was even was that illustrated some
what in the bear or was I think?

238
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:03.599
Am I thinking of something? Oh
that fancy one a homeboy went trained?

239
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:07.319
Maybe? Well, let me tell
you this. There's only eight people

240
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:14.160
per sitting yep, and we were
the only four top so they knew when

241
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.680
four people arrived that it was four
top r so in this case they didn't

242
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.000
have to do that. But and
again not intimidating. It was beautiful and

243
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.759
cool but not scary. So you
roll in there and you sit in this

244
00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:30.079
kind of waiting room. They bring
you a welcome cocktail of some kind,

245
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.000
and everyone's kind of whispering other people. Another couple filters in and you kind

246
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.400
of, you know, nod or
whatever. It's just kind of not weird.

247
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.200
Just you're excited. You know,
it's like exciting. But you're in

248
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.559
a hotel room at the Adolphus and
they bring you like a couple of little

249
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:47.559
bites. One of them is like
an oyster with a sea foam salted sea

250
00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.559
foam on top, just a little
thing with four oysters on it, and

251
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.079
you're like, oh my god,
it's the first thing you eat. They

252
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.200
explain it all eat that thing and
it was delicious, And then I'm like,

253
00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.039
wait, are we just eating in
here? What are we doing?

254
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:00.759
And you do that for a drink
and then they say, we're ready to

255
00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.640
go to the sushi room. So
this is sushi by scratch and the style

256
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:12.319
is omakase, which like literally means
bring whatever what that's not the exact trend,

257
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.200
Okay, I leave it up to
you. Oma case is a style

258
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:22.559
of food leave it to you different
than bring whatever? Is it? Yeah,

259
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.359
meaning you're leaving it up to the
chef to there's your food. Yes,

260
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.359
you go to make sense sushi room. There's like sort of a desk

261
00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.759
and there's these three chefs who are
cool looking and a cool looking and they're

262
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.680
well dressed and there and then there's
a board behind them with these wooden planks

263
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:41.720
with all the different types of fish
and that you're gonna be eating. There's

264
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.079
Japanese whiskeys and sake and it's just
a clow lit, badass room. But

265
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:48.759
again everyone's friendly. They're like,
welcome in, we'll take your jackets.

266
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:55.200
Like it's not stuffy, it's just
cool. And then oma case begins,

267
00:19:55.240 --> 00:20:00.720
which is you don't get a menu, there's no silverware. Yes, you

268
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:06.640
just sit there and what you're about
to do is eat seventeen courses. Good

269
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:12.559
grief, that sounds so stupid.
Seventeen courses. Oh, I love it.

270
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:22.039
But dinner is seventeen courses. And
it's also exactly seventeen bites of food.

271
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:26.200
Okay, what sushi? Oh yeah, of course, sushi by scratch.

272
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.279
You're just rocking chopsticks and that's it. No chopsticks, oh, finger

273
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:37.599
foods, fingers. Did any of
the patrons eat with their feet? Yeah?

274
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:41.720
Any two of them made with their
feet. I don't know, maybe

275
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.680
some armless showed up. It's a
great question. It's fine, it's a

276
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:52.519
great question. So you get in
there and then they start. The two

277
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:56.160
sushi chefs on the side are cutting
this beautiful fresh fish. The guy in

278
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:02.240
the middle is sort of doing the
dressing and adding the little accoutrement, not

279
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:07.799
visual like you know, whether it
be two scallions or a tiny pinky smear

280
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.880
of the perfect real with sabi.
Whatever. And you sit there and you

281
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:17.119
have seventeen courses and I'll say they
include I'm reading this now, but I

282
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:21.839
remember most of these hamachi. They
have three different styles of blue fintuna alba

283
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.839
cores in there. Salmon, of
course, unagi is served, which is

284
00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:30.839
eel. They have rendered bone marrow. They have a scallop, they have

285
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:37.000
wagu prawns, campachi which is yellowtail, and ooni is the last bite you

286
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:41.000
have, which is sea urchin.
Did duh? They tell you do?

287
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.680
They tell you you'll explain it.
That's part of the fun. They explain

288
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.799
every bite, everything that went into
it. And it's like the wasabi,

289
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:51.480
for instance, it's not the wasabi
we get, you know, they have

290
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.599
they have a wasabi root where they
shave the side and then they make it.

291
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.359
It's whatever. It's all table side
with sabi. Hey, right front

292
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.440
of the table right there. Yeah, incredible. Our names were sitting at

293
00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:07.119
our seats. They told us to
sit where our names are and then they

294
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:11.599
put the They make eight pieces of
this. There's eight people at the table

295
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.319
and they just put one piece in
front of every person and you just with

296
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.839
your fingers grab it and let her
rip. No soy sauce, right,

297
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.240
No soy sauce. Although one of
the dishes had like a housemade soy glaze

298
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:30.559
mixed in there, and honestly it
was so so so good. Were you

299
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:36.200
full? I was comfortable, comfortable. I wasn't full, but I was

300
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:41.160
definitely not hungry. It's good you
and stopped by jacking the crack and get

301
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:48.200
a smash burger on the way home
Taco Box Family a restaurant, and then

302
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:52.839
I'm like, damn, I need
to bo need a hamburger. No,

303
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.799
I think I did eat later that
evening. Yeah, but just a little

304
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.720
bit. It was incredible again,
It's called sushi bi scratch. Anyone can

305
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.400
go do this experience and it's a
once a year, once in a lifetime

306
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.079
for many. When I tell you
the cost, which I will in just

307
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:11.920
a moment. People ask about drinks. You can get a cocktail whatever you

308
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:15.839
want, but they recommend, and
you know understand why they do. You

309
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:21.519
choose either the sake pairing or the
Japanese whiskey pairing. I wonder which one

310
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.319
you went with. I did go
at the Japanese whiskey. All he wants

311
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.519
cash and I went with Japanese whiskey. Christina and Mary went with the sake.

312
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.960
They loved it. Thesak was seemingly
perfect, matched to the window of

313
00:23:34.000 --> 00:23:37.519
bites, maybe two or three bites
per style of saki. I want to

314
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:41.400
do this. It was really like
magical. Now, I will admit fully

315
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:48.039
me buckling. A few of these
bites were as far as what delicious?

316
00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:52.039
Oh okay, was there anything that
you got, because sometimes if you leave

317
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:56.480
it up to the chef, they
will bring you something that hits your palette

318
00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:59.640
in a way that you're kind of
like, WHOA, I don't know if

319
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:03.400
I like this. This tastes so
foreign to me that it kind of takes

320
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:06.680
your breath away a little bit.
You know, when you eat something weird

321
00:24:06.720 --> 00:24:10.079
that you're not familiar with, that
that you're not sure if you like it.

322
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:14.160
Yeah, and and it almost you
almost might want to spit it out.

323
00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:18.079
Did you have any moment like that, like something so gamey or weird

324
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.640
that it was just I loved everybody. That's amazing. The only thing I

325
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.559
wouldn't have eaten would have been Tomago, which is egg, and I would

326
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.359
have given it to Christina or cash
or whatever, just because I'm a baby

327
00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:33.640
bitch on that. But everything else
I was, you know, I know

328
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.039
eel and and obviously I love scallop, and I love I love everything that

329
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.559
was on there. So there was
nothing like shocking or surprising. I mean,

330
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:48.000
there was a the bone marrow,
good god, it's just so delicious,

331
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:51.000
just the second you put in your
mouth, it just all starts melting

332
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:56.519
down. And it's like you just
sit there and you almost don't even chew.

333
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:02.039
You just wait for it to disappear
inside your body. You got directly

334
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:06.039
into your veins. You look like
you need a sig like heavy right now,

335
00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:11.079
I'm telling jokes. They had the
wagu it's and it's the A five

336
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.079
wag you. It's sourced from Iron
Table out of Gatesville, Texas, Okay,

337
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.440
and that's one of the only places
in the US that's full blooded Japanese

338
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:23.039
black Wagu cattle. All the fish
and selfish or shellfish are from Tokyo's Toshu

339
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.079
Fish Market, which has flown in
twice a week, one of the most

340
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:29.759
famous in the world. I mean, they tell you this stuff and it's

341
00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:34.039
just fun to hear. But that
wag you, I don't I've never had.

342
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:37.720
I don't think A five like whatever
the highest level. You know.

343
00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.240
You can go to half the restaurants
in town they're yeah, sure, wag

344
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:42.759
you. And I don't know how
legit it is or what level it is,

345
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:47.480
but this was it was a piece
of meat on on some rice with

346
00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:52.079
a little something and it just melted
away, dude. Okay, okay,

347
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:56.440
now come on, tell us answered
the big question. Everybody wants to know

348
00:25:56.519 --> 00:26:00.680
how much did this put you back? Fascinating meal. They have three seatings

349
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.839
at night Wednesday through Sunday, five
o'clock, seven fifteen, and nine thirty.

350
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:06.839
Again, you have to get reservations
the first of the month. So

351
00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:10.000
if you're interested in this, especially
after I tell you the price here in

352
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:15.880
a second, on the first of
February, get on there and get in

353
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:18.200
there. Maybe for the next month, maybe from March. I don't know.

354
00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:22.640
I think we got on the list
January first, Okay, so you're

355
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.640
in February, I think, But
maybe we're not because she handled it.

356
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:30.440
Now. I checked last week and
I saw one, Papa, It's maybe

357
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:33.039
not as impossible this is. It
was hot when I got on it.

358
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.519
I don't think it's impossible right now. You might be able to have it

359
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:37.359
in a week or now, but
two months ago it is brand new.

360
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.440
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So
again, this was a Christmas present for

361
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:47.960
Cash and Mary and Christina and I
were there and I had to pay the

362
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:55.480
tab okay one million dollars. It
was the one where I had to check

363
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:59.880
welcome back a couple of days before
and check my credit card room, you

364
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:03.599
know, make sure I use the
right one so you didn't suffer from what

365
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:07.000
do they call it sticker shock?
Oh no, okay, you knew what

366
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:07.839
you were getting. I was getting
to. What I didn't know is how

367
00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:11.319
many people would get the saki tasting
of the whiskey to, you know,

368
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.960
like, oh, so this is
like at all just one flat rate and

369
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.599
all you can drink is say the
food is one price per person, and

370
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.240
then all the drink options are a
whole. That's why I get hammered home

371
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.480
before I go out to eat.
I tried, Can I guess? Please

372
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.279
guess? I would say the flat
rate per person is four to twenty five,

373
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:40.599
and then each person probably had about
seventy five dollars in liquor average.

374
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.720
I'm gonna say this bill before tip
was two grand. Okay, that's ridiculous.

375
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:52.279
No it's not. Oh Kevio granted. The most famous place I've ever

376
00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:56.079
eaten that is in El Chicos.
Yeah. I think they still have one

377
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:03.240
in Mesquite. I'm gonna say.
Because there's a bunch of buzz about this

378
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.480
online, big articles, I want
to see twelve hundred dollars. It was

379
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.160
a shockingly round number because we got
the food. We had four pairings,

380
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:15.440
and we had uh at the end
of it, you like, if you

381
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:17.799
want one more of something, they'll
make it, or they have a couple

382
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:21.319
other off menu items. And they
had a foi gras, I know cash

383
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:23.279
and married love foa grass. We
have four pieces of that. So that

384
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:29.599
was another seventy five bucks on the
on top. But the shockingly round number

385
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:33.160
for four of us to eat sushi
by scratch, an exclusive place to the

386
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:34.640
Adolphice Hotel, which I encourage you
to try if you want to get wild,

387
00:28:36.680 --> 00:28:41.279
was exactly fifteen hundred dollars. Jesus, Jesus. That's for everything,

388
00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:45.519
everything, and twenty percent gratuity was
already included in the They auto graded it

389
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.440
and they were really cool about explaining
it's autogratedy and then even I think they

390
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.359
even scratched out the tip line.
Really yeah, which is an odd move.

391
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.519
That is an odd move, but
a incredibly unique experience that I had

392
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:59.720
in Dallas that I didn't know existed
until Sarah Blaskovic and you know came on

393
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.279
the free you can mentioned it,
and I know Steve went with his lady,

394
00:29:03.400 --> 00:29:07.519
and I was fortunate to go and
look, it's a once a year,

395
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:11.640
once every few year type thing,
and I can't believe how much I

396
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.119
liked it. I was closed twenty
percent autos three hundred dollars to twelve hundred

397
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:19.319
plus three hundred and fifteen hundred.
Yeah. Good in the neighborhood scratch.

398
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.680
Thank you Mike for sharing. I
want to go, I really do.

399
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.160
It can't get more local than that. So local, uh. Coming up

400
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:29.640
next, mix Roy is going to
hit you with a live spot. But

401
00:29:29.759 --> 00:29:34.160
first I'm going to tell you what's
coming up next, which is an update

402
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:37.559
and if you missed this yesterday,
we'll reset it for you. An update

403
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.039
on my ongoing feud with a small
town in Oklahoma, More Oklahoma. I

404
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:47.960
have heard from the city manager and
it does involve Dildo's. We'll reset for

405
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:48.200
you next to ninety seven one three
