package. What is it? We don't

8
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.680
even know? As a great man
on this very show once said, this

9
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:17.719
could all be yours, every inch
of it. Kevin, my boy.

10
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.159
Ruh, Let's get the throg out
of the throat and word one. No,

11
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:29.200
it's the it's the sickness from earlier
in the week. Yeah, a

12
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:34.000
great start. It's I'm okay when
I'm at my low tones here, but

13
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.599
when I go hi, I try
to sing some maybe him in a song.

14
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.079
Maybe that's why there's a perception that
the energy is low this week.

15
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.560
It's illness. Yeah, if that's
what you make fun of for low energy,

16
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.840
No, I I the voice when
I try to sing I was trying

17
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.680
to sing assignment and it was just
once you go high, we lose it.

18
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.319
I don't know lingering, you do
you girl? Yeah, I'll pick

19
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:06.079
up the slack and bring the base. Yeah. No, the energy,

20
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.400
all the energy is coming today,
Guys. I'm freaking f out. I'm

21
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:16.560
not the stuff. Look out,
It's Friday. What's your favorite hot dog?

22
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.680
What's the best hot ike you've ever
read? Give me a Chicago dog?

23
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:30.159
You know, I like those,
the pickles and the relis it's Friday,

24
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:38.439
the energy, not what we're doing. Is it not Friday yet?

25
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:42.680
Anyway? Friday. I was looking
at the world map. The good news

26
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.639
is two am in Hawaii. You
need to look at a world calendar.

27
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:51.319
If you no, well yeah time
yeah, old time zone map eleven.

28
00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:58.280
So I think it's what's this zone
central? Not our zone? Who Hawaii?

29
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.639
No, Hawaii, it's two am. So what's what's two hours west

30
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.240
of Hawaii? And where's the cutoff
where it just clicks over and starts again?

31
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.479
Anyone like Australia right now it's early. Like Indonesia, it's eight pm

32
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:16.360
on Friday. That sucks. That
weird. I mean, think about it

33
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.439
when you travel to the west coast
on a fast ass plane. You're literally

34
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.520
going back in time. Yeah,
in New Zealand. It's one am wait

35
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:36.560
Saturday, Yeah, mind says one
am Saturday in New Zealand and it's two

36
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:44.840
am Friday in Hawaii. To just
go east and then go to the future

37
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:52.280
exactly. But as we all learned
and maybe we'll learn again when season four

38
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:58.240
of it starts next Sunday, night
time is a flat circle? Is that

39
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:02.840
next Sunday? Yes? And I
gotta tell you not real thrilled about it

40
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.199
because I'm not a big Jody Foster
fan. How can you not be a

41
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.759
Jody Foster fan we're talking about True
Detective season four because you don't like women

42
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.839
in position of power. She was, I mean, I think it's a

43
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:27.319
voice we'd like to welcome, Jody
Foster flock segment. Unpromoted or not.

44
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.839
Yeah, and unpracticed in the mirror
too. But I think she shou get

45
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.279
a little tad mouth, a wrong
No, there's you're you're you're in the

46
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:43.160
neighborhood, you're shifting near She was
a big curls problems we all can't help

47
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:48.079
exactly, only silence and lambs.
And maybe she was affecting her voice for

48
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.120
that role. Yeah, I think
she was. And what's her other iconic

49
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:59.199
roles? Contact? Contact? Driver? Contact is awesome? Is she a

50
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.720
text driver? You're a fun fact. I've never seen taxi driver, never

51
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:11.360
will, very young in it.
I heard you in December and a movie

52
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:15.319
came up and you said you'd never
seen it. I was shocked to hear

53
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.480
it. Yeah, I can't remember. I mean tons, I know,

54
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.600
but it's weird, you know,
with the little age gap we got,

55
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:24.759
but there's like a massive one.
I'm like, you're like, never seen

56
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:29.720
that? Or Fathers. I'm not
team Godfather, good Fellas. There's good

57
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.360
Feathers, Good No Boogie Knights,
you know, there's quite a few you've

58
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:36.800
never seen. I've also never been
to an olive garden, a red Lobster,

59
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.240
or a Denny's. All right,
so these are none of those.

60
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.519
These are big holes. I don't
know if there's other big name places that

61
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.959
I haven't been an og I would
have thought an only boy like you would

62
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.480
look up at the stars at night
and dream of going to the big city

63
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.759
that's like an hour away, that's
not a big city, and here just

64
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:04.680
got an olive garden. Yeah,
none, I mean it never happened.

65
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:10.959
I don't know what restaurants. Have
you been to one of them? So

66
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:16.399
number forty two never had dreams of
unlimited breadstiaks lying in bed. So I

67
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.040
got no problem with Olive Garden.
It kind of I mean, I don't

68
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:25.079
seek it out, but you know
what, it was weird last year at

69
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:30.120
some point I was just so randomly
was I don't even know why, but

70
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.480
I went, I got a pickup
order from Olive Garden and I got the

71
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:40.639
tour of Italy. Yeah you did, you know why? Because it slaps

72
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.399
Olive Garden go hard, dude.
Okay, good, I'm glad here say

73
00:06:43.439 --> 00:06:46.639
that. I was expecting you to. I'm like, it's great. It's

74
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.279
a little cutleasagna and some pettacini alfredo
and whatever. I mean, it's I

75
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.360
wasn't blown away. As far as
the national national chain casual Bestros, I

76
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:02.600
think that that went an out Back
probably way up there. I mean Outback

77
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.720
was until they changed their menu in
two thousand and six. I am a

78
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:15.199
many year employee of out Back Steakhouse, and yeah, you're right, I

79
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:16.600
remember it being better, and now
you go in there and it's like being

80
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.800
a cheesecake factory. Like the menu's
huge. I don't even know what we're

81
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:25.240
looking at here? What are we
doing out back? You just feel like

82
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.920
luxury time. It really was.
That was I mean to me birthday in

83
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.120
your twenties, you thought that was
a steakhouse du jure because it was better

84
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:39.360
than Yeah it was. It was
better than what like, did you say

85
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:43.000
sizzler? No, like it just
was it was good. Yeah, it

86
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:48.240
was better than any other affordable steak
Yeah, it was good. We would

87
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.600
like this is like a weird thing. Like sometimes like after watching a little

88
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.360
football on Sunday, randomly it'be like
three o'clock. My dad was like,

89
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.120
let's go out back and we just
get in the car and we'd go to

90
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:05.240
four Worth w It's like an hour
and a half away, you know for

91
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:09.319
a quick Sunday dinner. You know, yeah there like five and you eat

92
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:13.240
and you're home by nine. If
you do it right, eight or nine.

93
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.360
You know that happened many times.
Go get to filet at out back

94
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.439
or a ribi even you'll be happy, ye fake, Well, I guess

95
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.399
I don't I don't know if it's
how much it's I went last year and

96
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.639
it was awesome, Okay, I
didn't order a steak because I had a

97
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:33.120
bad steak experience. What'd you get? Two or three times ago, I'd

98
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.799
get some form of just chicken.
I got chicken breast with palace springs chicken.

99
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:41.000
Yeah, there's a nice chicken breast
with the honey mustard sauce and bacon

100
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.200
and halted cheese. And I asked
for a side of blooming onion sauce.

101
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:50.399
Yeah, Oh my god, hit
the spot. Oh it's really good.

102
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:56.159
You want to see piranhas lose their
head. Go into college town an outback

103
00:08:56.159 --> 00:09:01.720
steakhouse kitchen. When a bloomin onion
it's like turned or misfired or whatever,

104
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:07.720
and they put it on the little
tray. We'll just attack it looks like

105
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:15.240
a radio sales department in a break
room exactly on Pizza Wednesday, the one

106
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.600
day. But then once you befriend
like the head chef or the head cook

107
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.480
or grill cook whatever out of my
way bread. When they like you,

108
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.360
they think you're funny, you will
have a little bag you're waiting for you

109
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.039
every day when you leave. Then
you go home and your three roommates who

110
00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:39.639
are huddled around a gigantic bong and
you walk in with an outback bag full

111
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:43.200
of some steak and blue and onion
and Ausie cheese fries, and god forbid,

112
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:50.519
I score a chocolate thunder from down
under attack mode. Yeah, oh

113
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.600
so good. If you're a college
kid, Yeah, work at a restaurant.

114
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.600
A bar is good too, But
work at a restaurant, Oh God,

115
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.120
you'll eat free and you'll get fat, and you'll have cash on you.

116
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.120
Well, okay, not anymore,
I guess. But back in the

117
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.840
day, you would have a shoe
box full of cash to pay your rent,

118
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:15.960
and your rent share was like sixty
three dollars, and there'd be one

119
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.879
guy that would be a sign to
go to seven to eleven to get the

120
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:22.919
two or three money orders because they
would only issue money orders in like two

121
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.120
hundred dollars increments. You'd pay your
rent with, you know, God,

122
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.919
I swear to God. I lived
with like four other dudes in a two

123
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.480
bedroom apartment in our rent was three
hundred and eighty dollars a month. Now

124
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:39.320
we're all paying like fifty eight bucks. But everybody would like be scrambling at

125
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.720
the end of the month to come
up with the cash, and then one

126
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:46.000
guy would have to go to sev
and well, the money orders only come

127
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.799
in two hundred dollars increments, so
you have to get three money orders,

128
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.960
one two hundred, one two hundred, and then one for you know whatever

129
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.639
eighty three bucks is, like for
eighty three or something like that. And

130
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:01.080
that's how you paid your rent with
a money order. Crazy do my weirdest

131
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.919
landlord story with living Flagstaff, Arizona. I was in college at Northern Arizona

132
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.120
University eleven East Pine Avenue, and
our landlord was a guy named sat Sansar

133
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:15.440
Best and he, you know,
he had a big turbine. Friendly dude,

134
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.679
liked him, but he was kind
of up in ours a little bit,

135
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.559
you know, like you'd show up
a little un analyst and kind of

136
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:24.480
take a look at things. But
he was nice and what was his role

137
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.480
the house that we lived in,
and he owned a handful of properties.

138
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.480
I know that because we had to
write the address and like right number eleven,

139
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.440
like we had to write the number
of the property he owned. It

140
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.919
was awesome, you have a nice
career, go off the flag Staff,

141
00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.879
buy some property and just rented out
to college kids. Revolving door. Anyway,

142
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.919
we lived in that house on nine
to eleven. That's the house I

143
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.799
was in. I woke up and
when nine to eleven happened, and sat

144
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.559
Soun's our best was again very sweet, but like very much part of our

145
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:54.559
existence, more than we probably would
have chosen to have a landlord be.

146
00:11:56.759 --> 00:12:01.240
And after nine to eleven he disappeared. What are you saying that he was

147
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:05.279
on the plane. No, no, I don't understand. Well, I

148
00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:13.879
get I don't. He disappeared from
our lives and we kept sending the check

149
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.799
and we never really heard from him
again. And then there was a debate.

150
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:20.600
We're like, what if we just
skipped our check this month, like

151
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.840
we haven't heard from the dude was
again part of our thing. And I

152
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.759
don't know if he was just I
have no idea, but that what happened.

153
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:35.240
Wow, so as tough as that
was for, you know, innocent

154
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.639
people who were Muslim. You know, he might have ran away. No,

155
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.440
yeah, he might have. We
had another dude who owned a euro

156
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.399
shop and flagstaff. Oh my god, I'll get his name in a second.

157
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:56.279
I think he's Moroccan anyway, but
he he closed his shop and left

158
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:01.799
town because of people harassing him post
nine to eleven. And this dude was

159
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.519
the sweetest guy. I've looked him
up recently because he was a marathon runner

160
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.480
and he's competed in some significant marathon
so I always kind of just tracked his

161
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.279
career because I really loved the dude. He just and he called me Tom

162
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.960
the entire time, Tom every time. No, like we were one of

163
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.279
his first customers. We're like,
this effing guy for like four dollars and

164
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:22.080
fifty cents will give you the biggest
year, like bigger than my laptop,

165
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.840
will be the biggest, most delicious
euro ever. And we were one of

166
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.480
the first customers. He loved us, and he just called me Tom from

167
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.600
day one. So my roommates and
I would go in and they would call

168
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:39.720
me Tom, and he'd be like
Tom, it's Mike Space Tom. Who

169
00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:46.559
ooh, any man? That one
hurt ay, Oh god, somebody I

170
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:50.240
can't think of his name. That
was a little pick and pop right there,

171
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:56.559
come on, shooters gonna shoot.
Oh he's cold. They're sending him

172
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.840
to the bench. That was a
heat check DATCHA Driss was his name.

173
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:07.200
Not that that matter to you,
it does, you know, And I

174
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.039
even trying to get you to move
on from what did he call you,

175
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.759
Tom, no idea he's white.
I introduced myself to him and Mike,

176
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:18.879
I don't know, I have no
idea, but he called me Tom,

177
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.600
and then I didn't have the heart
to correct him. Then we kind of

178
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.240
just made it a bit. But
love the dude. But yeah, he

179
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.159
got harassed by a bunch of people
shortly after nine to eleven and left the

180
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:31.879
country. Oh left, no,
left the area, left flag staff,

181
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.039
left Arizona. I don't, I
don't, I don't know. That's why

182
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.039
I do try to look him up. I don't know. If I ever

183
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:41.480
if he ever runs in the Dallas
Marathon, I would pop Big Tom would

184
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.240
pop in out of nowhere and stand
on the corner make a sign for the

185
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:48.200
great dotcha driss. Anyway, it
was. It was bad for those folks

186
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:54.639
back then, Oh god, it
really was. And when you've got you

187
00:14:54.679 --> 00:15:00.840
know, propaganda filtering down from your
government, and and it could have been

188
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.000
a lot worse. Well, I
think it could have been a lot worse

189
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:07.519
for the people that lived here,
that were of that of that descent,

190
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.600
that faith. A Recian trip to
the World War Two Museum, it's just

191
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:16.600
another reminder of how much worse it
could have been. For people that live

192
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.200
here who just happen to look a
certain way. Yeah, when an event

193
00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:24.639
like that pops off, Jesus,
it turns normal men into monsters, normal

194
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.039
men, and we're just normal men, just Dennis and men. So we

195
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:31.240
were talking about some food and there's
some big news of the world of food.

196
00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.960
Did you hear about this? No, it's not chicken. We were

197
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:43.600
talking about Outback and Olive Garden that
they're delicious. There was a time in

198
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.240
the eighties where like you had all
of these I don't know what you call

199
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:52.200
them, like casual dining restaurants that
but they were also casual fast casual were

200
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:56.480
there chained restaurants but they're meant to
look like neighborhood places, but they're all

201
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:02.759
over America. Chili's, Bennigan's.
Yeah. TGI Fridays, we just learned

202
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:11.799
it on Tuesday thirty six. TGI
Fridays are closing over twelve states that are

203
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:22.159
considered unperforming locations. Oh oh,
so apparently they were low rated TGA Fridays

204
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:26.720
and got shut down by that is
that's interesting. And I have a friend

205
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.840
locally is high up with TGI Fridays. Does he work at the North Arlington

206
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:36.399
one the Rest in Peace, and
he doesn't work at any particular one,

207
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.159
hence why I sort of high up. Okay, yeah, Texas has four

208
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:44.200
each that are closing, and you
said North Arlington's one of them. Yeah,

209
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:47.360
off Collins, Okay, lay the
Ranger games. But that said,

210
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.000
when the last time you guys set
foot only in an airport, geez,

211
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:56.080
you're right. Yeah, and the
airport restaurants are wild. They make more

212
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.720
money than like any standalones. I
think, don't they give it just because

213
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.480
of the prices, at least here
at our airport. Yeah, I would

214
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.039
have to. Yeah, because our
reports huge. I mean, yeah,

215
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.039
said try to get us. There's
always a wait for pretty much any place

216
00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.200
you got to in the airport.
I mean unless you're flying super late at

217
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.960
night paper in the morning. What
other TJA Fridays is packed at nine to

218
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.680
fifteen am. Yeah, and you're
like, I'm traveling, I guess I

219
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.119
will have some Mozarelli sticks. Wait, no, bad decision. Well they

220
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:30.319
have a plastic cab, yeah,
yeah, exactly. That's the thing is

221
00:17:30.319 --> 00:17:33.480
they have a bar timer. Yeah, I know, exactly right, and

222
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.200
it's mostly Boots sales. But I
think these restaurants jockey hard for positions in

223
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.960
busy airports. And I can't remember
the store, but some significant store at

224
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:47.319
DFW it's their highest performing like branch
in the state or something like that.

225
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:52.400
I also wonder when you have these
chains that go into you know, airport

226
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:57.880
terminals, if the airports charge an
exorbitant amount of rent, yes, you

227
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:02.599
know, like disproportionate to what they
would at a you know, like for

228
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:04.480
the size of it. Oh my
god, I've got to I mean,

229
00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.400
doesn't that kind of warrant or justify
they're they're like an old timer which huts

230
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.279
Chili's, but like whatever their their
house burger is is probably going to be

231
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:17.599
two or three dollars more than you
would pay at the one over in Mesquite.

232
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:23.039
Right, I've never been to that
one in a Mesquite or the one

233
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:27.119
that used to be on Skillman in
six thirty five? Is that still there?

234
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.640
I don't know. That's the first
time I ever started a That's the

235
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.680
first time I ever got hammered at
a bar on liquor? Was that a

236
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.079
TGI Fridays? Is that right?
How old? Yeah? Uh? Nineteen

237
00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.160
okay, so illegal? Yeah,
completely Because I worked with a guy named

238
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.640
Barry who was a pizza driver,
like twenty six years old, in a

239
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.799
career alcoholic and he goes, you
want to go out drinking? I go,

240
00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.240
yeah, sure, you go.
Where do you want to go?

241
00:18:56.279 --> 00:18:59.839
And he goes, let's go to
Fridays because I know the bartender there.

242
00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:06.000
You don't need an id like,
let's go. I never ordered drinks,

243
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:08.039
you know, couldn't get into a
bar, so you just like had beer

244
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:14.119
or whatever your friends. And I
didn't know anything about like whiskey and Martini's

245
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:18.480
and I one alcohol. I went
in there with with career alcoholic berry at

246
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:25.799
TGI Fridays and in nineteen eighty seven
rang up a forty eight dollars tab for

247
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.519
just myself and it was trying everything. Oh yeah, I'd like a I'd

248
00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:40.759
like a Manhattan, Manhattan, about
a thousand of yu. My god,

249
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:45.680
that's all. These are delicious and
I feel funny. Those are always high

250
00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:52.640
in the list of first alcoholic drink
that you check out and enjoy. Yeah,

251
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:57.519
get lit on the lit good.
Great. I don't know. I've

252
00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:02.960
had a Long Island tee since I've
been legal to drink, but I've had

253
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.960
one since that night where I spent
the entire night throwing up the entire next

254
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:12.440
day, throwing up the worst headache
that I've ever had in my in in

255
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:18.039
my short life at that point.
But good god, I mean thirty or

256
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:22.240
was it forty eight bucks for in
nineteen eighty seven was a lot of money

257
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.079
that would have been like one hundred
dollars bar tab now and it was all

258
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.400
all liquor. Do you know what's
in a Long Island iced tea? Yeah,

259
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.440
it's like all of it. It's
tequila, vodka, rum, whiskey,

260
00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.759
gin. I believe, dude,
Grand Marnier in there. If you

261
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.599
want to splash a Coca cola,
I believe pretty much. Yeah, cocaine.

262
00:20:42.680 --> 00:20:47.440
It's just cocaine really typically maybe with
vodka, tequila, light rum,

263
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:52.759
triple secd gin and a splash of
cola. Yeah, I wonder if no

264
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.799
bourbon not in the quickest search.
So you said vodka, gin, tequila,

265
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:02.480
tequila, uh light, rum,
triple sec gin and a swash of

266
00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:06.160
cola. So it's all the clears. Yeah yeah, Okay, that could

267
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:11.000
make a cultural comeback. The Long
Island iced tea that could spend a few

268
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.200
months is the hot drink for no
reason. Let's make that the downbeat drink

269
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.880
of the month. Okay, you
are doing dry January food court that she

270
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.759
has there a bunch of wooses and
are doing dry January. Maybe we can

271
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:26.759
get the next time we do an
Alamo draft House downbeat screening, we can

272
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:30.000
have a Long Island iced tea special. Okay, oh yes, three?

273
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:36.519
Yeah, dude. And they're like
full serve, Like each pore is a

274
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.240
full pour from the bottle. So
you're getting like four or five full shots

275
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:42.960
of liquor in these things. And
then they just take a strange drink.

276
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.279
Yeah, they take the coke.
They keet the coke gun. Now,

277
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:52.559
what the hell's going on in Long
Island right? What the story is and

278
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.880
what do they do out there?
I don't like it. I just foun

279
00:21:56.880 --> 00:22:00.960
an article fifty This is from Das
Morning News. It was fifty years in.

280
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.839
Do you have to be Airport's food
is a five hundred and eighty million

281
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.839
a year business. It's crazy,
man, are you serious? Five hundred

282
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:11.480
and eighties and you know they had
their own a couple. I mean,

283
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.559
there's not a ton of original restaurants, but you have like Nowitzki's, Yeah,

284
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:19.240
Novitzki's, whatever you want to call
it. I went to that the

285
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.160
last time I traveled because I just
happened to see. I didn't know that

286
00:22:23.200 --> 00:22:26.039
it was there, and I happened
to see there's a big sign of Dirk,

287
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:32.200
and I was like, Okay,
let's go pop in. And I

288
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:36.920
mean it's it wasn't that crowded,
like it's in that new terminal that not

289
00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.440
everyone is gotting to go into yet
probably, So that's still that's gonna be

290
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:47.000
so nice. Once that blows up. This airport about to get ridiculous.

291
00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:49.599
This bity is about to get ridiculous. To be honest, this year is

292
00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.400
gonna get ridiculous. There's a lot
of things are gonna get ridiculous. But

293
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.519
here's just one quote from this article. This guy Aronza, who opens all

294
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.920
these restaurants at the airport, estimates
that he's opened Aroundza estimates he's opened one

295
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:07.079
hundred and five airport restaurants in twenty
eight years. The best performing of them

296
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:12.599
all all time is the Chili's and
Terminal see at DFW Airport. Yeah,

297
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:18.240
it'll gross eight million dollars this year, I believe it. I wonder if

298
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:25.559
that's because of a local familiarity slash
loyalty because it was a Dallas based business

299
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:30.119
it was Chili's Man. I also
wonder, Okay, so when Chile started

300
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:34.079
there was one, and was it
considered just a neighborhood mom and pop restaurant

301
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:38.000
this is the first one, or
did they have designs on being a national

302
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.000
chain? I wonder how those things
happen. I think I think they always

303
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.839
start when you look the real genesis
of them start as one because we always

304
00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:51.960
kind of have this affection towards our
local chains. You know, we kind

305
00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:53.440
of embraced them, like the me
Casinas of the world. You know that

306
00:23:53.440 --> 00:24:00.200
there's multiple locations, but they're just
Metroplex or Dallas based. At what point

307
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:04.599
is somebody in Atlanta or you know, New Orleans saying, hey, we

308
00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:10.400
want to bring what a franchise these
or bring me Casina to these other cities

309
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.759
and then the next thing you know, you've got an out olive garden or

310
00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:17.680
an outback. Because they start as
one. I think they do. They

311
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.480
had the olive Garden. Is that
one that was a one off? I

312
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:22.680
mean, I mean the story is
probably unique for all of them. And

313
00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:27.200
now in the modern times, I
bet there are some they're starting to become

314
00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.359
chains. I mean, that's the
goal, that's the strategy from the beginnings.

315
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:34.680
Yeah, but anything that we grew
up eating and knowing. I mean,

316
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:38.480
hell, I remember the Chili's open
in Sarasota, Florida, and I'm

317
00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:42.240
like, this is the greatest thing
ever. I think that was probably all

318
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:48.039
started as just one restaurant somewhere.
It did that. It was on Greenville

319
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.759
and like Meadow Lane or by Greenville
and Royal and by Presby God, there's

320
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.279
not much on Meadow and that place. I think that place is gone.

321
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.640
I think it burned down or got
demolished years ago. But that was the

322
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:02.240
first one, and it was great, Like I've been there and used to

323
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:06.319
live right by there, would go
there and it had that feel. It

324
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:12.240
hadn't become the the the cookie Cutter
restaurant where they have all the same decorations

325
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.880
and same layout and same boots in
every location. You went to that one

326
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:19.680
and it felt like a local,
the one single own, you know,

327
00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:23.880
restaurant. It was the Og and
it felt like grimy. Maybe. Yeah.

328
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.720
The next season one of the Office, like they didn't have their sights

329
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:33.519
set on being syndicated, you know, Tish Hayward's making the show. And

330
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.920
then by season two it starts to
grow and sure enough, there's an office

331
00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:42.039
in the Chili's in Alabama. It's
a weird one. And if you if

332
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.759
you don't follow, you know,
you can get more of that next or

333
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.799
wait, there's gonna be more of
what you just did next. Hey,

334
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.039
Hey, Elvis is on TV.
Danny, Hey, we'll tell a little

335
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:57.160
who's your road behind my su Roy? I want to see that Priscilla movie.

336
00:25:57.200 --> 00:26:00.680
It's on Prime right now for twenty
bucks. Yeah, well, you

337
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.240
can get a buttload of Jacob Lordie
in your life right now. Is even

338
00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:11.519
in Saltburn. Priscilla's Elvis back,
and then he'll be hosting Saturday Night Life.

339
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.319
Also, Gypsy Rose on the TV
behind us. She's on Good Morning

340
00:26:14.359 --> 00:26:18.680
America this morning. And trust me, I'm gonna be tracking a boy,

341
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.599
uh, just to find out.
And at seven point thirty, I'll tell

342
00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:30.519
you about another murderer just let out
of prison yesterday. Okay, wild one.

343
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:36.200
If you're murdering people right now's the
time get out apparently, but coming

344
00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:45.759
up next, this is a weird
one. Did they find aliens, ten

345
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:52.480
foot tall creatures and a large police
presence at a mall in Miami? The

346
00:26:52.559 --> 00:26:56.119
story that has shaken the overnight World
by Storm next to ninety seven won.

347
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:57.880
The Freak says that bitch yeah,
