Episode 348

We Live the Patio Life: Bourbon, Donuts, and Cruises

Published on: 28th September, 2026

We affirm the central motif of our dialogue: we are living the patio life, convening on the patio to deliberate on convivial pleasures and quotidian concerns. We commence by marking "Name Your Poison Day," wherein we disclose our predilections for spirits and libations—from a preferred 107-proof bourbon and Wild Turkey to beers such as Busch Light and Goose Island—and we pair those revelations with confessions of pastry predilections, notably donuts and donut holes. We traverse ancillary topics including the advisability of contemporary cruising, anecdotes of concealed alcohol and Bluetooth speaker prohibitions aboard ships, and an attention-grabbing trend of prepared food transactions on Facebook Marketplace. We intersperse reminiscences of local culinary staples, childhood encounters with fireworks and toys, and a measured critique of evolving tipping practices and civic observances such as Fourth of July municipal celebrations. We announce forthcoming communal engagements—among them a bottle share on June 27th and the prospect of a Patio Palooza—while acknowledging intermittent production gaps and imminent absences among our cohort, all the while sustaining a steady, earnest rapport.

6-8

We open on the patio and speak with deliberate candor about the rhythms of our lives and the small rituals that shape us. I describe the current pace of the show and announce absences that will affect our schedule. We discuss celebratory motifs and calendar curiosities such as Name Your Poison Day and National Best Friends Day. I and my cohosts catalog our preferred spirits and beers, compare bourbon proofs, and articulate the distinctions between an old fashioned and a simple mixed drink. We move from drink theory to concrete taste: donuts and breakfast pastries receive methodical appraisal, with attention to textures and regional staples. We recount a viral Facebook Marketplace food story as a cautionary vignette about informal commerce and food safety. The flow of conversation remains grounded and observational as we negotiate topics of travel, cruises, and the etiquette of carrying alcohol on board. We close with a reflection on community gatherings, upcoming bottle shares, and the small obligations of friendship and family that persist beyond the microphone. Throughout the discussion I adopt a measured register and we maintain a serious tone. We intersperse anecdote with practical detail. References to concerts, films, and toys emerge as cultural anchors that frame our memories. The narrative retains an intimate quality: we speak as people who know one another, who hold similar loyalties, and who articulate preferences plainly. Listeners hear both light counsel about taste and firm notes about safety and community rituals. The cadence of the program is conversational yet purposeful, and we leave the patio with the intention to reconvene when schedules allow. We concentrate at length on gastronomy and libations. I and my colleagues parcel the theme into discrete categories: beer, spirits, breakfast pastries, desserts, and meats. I name specific beverages and brands and explain why certain proofs and styles suit given contexts. We describe beer flavors, note seasonal preferences, and justify the selection of particular bourbons and rums for hot weather. On the pastry front, I analyze the dominance of donuts and donut holes, detail local bakeries that embody regional taste, and contrast cake donuts with yeast styles. We treat novelty items with the same seriousness: popcorn containers, pineapple beers, and homemade Pop Tarts are cataloged with sensory detail. We also diagnose the social impulse to sell prepared food on resale platforms and narrate a Memphis example that illuminates both creativity and risk. Our tone remains direct and disciplined. I present facts and describe processes plainly. When we discuss desserts we pivot to technique, referencing the pragmatic appeal of pre-mixed cheesecake filling and the ways families use it in communal meals. The segment culminates in a taxonomy of “poisons,” a structured survey that clarifies how we make choices about pleasure and indulgence in daily life.

Takeaways:

  • We opened the episode and informed listeners about our upcoming limited availability and schedule changes.
  • I described local events and our clear food and drink preferences, including donuts, cheesecake, beers, and bourbons.
  • We described a viral Facebook Marketplace food video where a buyer spent fifty dollars on a large mixed plate with waffles, wings, and boudin balls, sparking concerns about food safety and unusual local food practices.
  • I recounted a risky excursion in the Dominican Republic and expressed concern about tour safety and local arrangements during travel.
  • We discussed family life and parenting, emphasizing simple moments and the importance of expressing love to children while they are young.
  • I reflected on nostalgic topics such as He-Man and GI Joe toys and on how film posters and childhood play shape cultural memory.
  • We considered public issues, including tipping culture, fireworks safety and regulation, and debates about scheduling community events around national holidays.
  • I shared personal anecdotes about childhood pranks, fireworks accidents, and long friendships that influenced our group dynamics and personal histories.

Yeah, they probably wouldn't care.

Speaker A:

All ten people watching that.

Speaker C:

This.

Speaker A:

I guess I could make a poll.

Speaker A:

He's a giant little person.

Speaker A:

I think he's more of a giant little person than a little giant.

Speaker A:

He does kind of look like a little giant, though.

Speaker B:

I hope he has a blast watching a little people.

Speaker B:

I bet you good time.

Speaker A:

Oh, I'm sure.

Speaker A:

Have you ever seen them?

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

Maybe not live.

Speaker C:

Thanks for joining us.

Speaker C:

Hit that like button.

Speaker A:

So it's name your poison day.

Speaker A:

You were absolutely astounded, excited and plum.

Speaker A:

Not your bourbon nerd itself.

Speaker A:

So what's your poison?

Speaker C:

My.

Speaker C:

My favorite bourbon, which is probably 107.

Speaker A:

Of all the Bourbons and all the way.

Speaker C:

But that.

Speaker C:

That one.

Speaker A:

That 107 I got that day may be one of the best.

Speaker A:

107.

Speaker C:

It is.

Speaker C:

It's really good.

Speaker B:

Really?

Speaker C:

Could be somebody else coming out with one Friday.

Speaker A:

Kirby.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Kirby.

Speaker A:

Wine and spirits.

Speaker C:

Yeah, you know the one Martin gave us.

Speaker C:

Kirby.

Speaker A:

Oh, it was.

Speaker B:

So that's your poison, huh?

Speaker C:

See for whiskey, I guess.

Speaker A:

So a mixed drink would be an old fashioned.

Speaker A:

Like an old fashioned.

Speaker C:

Old fashioned.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

But.

Speaker A:

And probably though of anything on that shelf, the river root sweeted is still probably one of my.

Speaker B:

It wasn't where it was going off shelf.

Speaker B:

My poison would probably be donuts.

Speaker B:

My God.

Speaker B:

That's a poison.

Speaker A:

Do you know?

Speaker A:

Well, you already know.

Speaker A:

I don't.

Speaker A:

I can't do sweets, really, but donuts I can do.

Speaker B:

Dude, I can crush.

Speaker B:

I could smash donuts.

Speaker C:

We need different categories of poisons.

Speaker A:

Okay, let's do it.

Speaker A:

Different category.

Speaker A:

Poison.

Speaker C:

All right.

Speaker A:

What's your.

Speaker A:

What's your.

Speaker A:

Alcohol poisoning, James,.

Speaker B:

Man, I'm not gonna lie to you.

Speaker B:

Of all the bourbons, rum.

Speaker B:

Of all the bourbons, of all that.

Speaker A:

Stuff, all the bourbons.

Speaker B:

It is hard to be on a hot day.

Speaker B:

A nice fresh bush light.

Speaker A:

Now see, I figured though that's a different level than beer because I did say alcohol, but let's do it.

Speaker C:

Let's do.

Speaker A:

Let's do beer and then we do.

Speaker B:

Let's do spirits.

Speaker A:

Let's do spirits.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

We already got your beers bush lot today.

Speaker A:

What about spirit?

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's gonna be some.

Speaker B:

Some good old one on one turkey, man.

Speaker A:

Wild Turkey 101.

Speaker A:

That eight year you just poured, it's probably a little bit upgrade to it, but that's not a solid.

Speaker A:

So nerd.

Speaker A:

You like 107?

Speaker A:

I'm guessing you're a bush latte guy too, at flyway latte.

Speaker C:

But it's either fly away or dose like amber.

Speaker A:

You know what I got to go with for the beer?

Speaker A:

Them goose islands, baby.

Speaker C:

That's my bourbon, dude.

Speaker B:

That goose island I had yesterday, I was with him 9.9%.

Speaker A:

Nice, wasn't it?

Speaker B:

It was nice.

Speaker A:

Is this a little bottle?

Speaker B:

Pineapple.

Speaker C:

Pineapple flavor?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

It's a pineapple beer hug.

Speaker A:

Huh?

Speaker B:

And a picture of a bear on it.

Speaker A:

Is that what you brought out here?

Speaker A:

I didn't realize what it was.

Speaker A:

I might have partook.

Speaker A:

All right, so now let's go to so sweets.

Speaker A:

Now we're not gonna call that dessert.

Speaker A:

Dessert's going to be a different category.

Speaker A:

So this is going to be this Breakfast pastries.

Speaker A:

We'll call them breakfast pastries.

Speaker A:

A donut is a breakfast.

Speaker B:

Pastry is a full course meal, dude.

Speaker B:

I mean I eat it any time of day.

Speaker A:

It depends if you got how many donuts you got and how many types.

Speaker B:

I will tell you now.

Speaker B:

One of my favorite things is when I realized that my kids like three in the afternoon and realized my kids left a few donut holes in the bag.

Speaker C:

Dude, I was supposed to say donut holes.

Speaker C:

I got two for it.

Speaker A:

I gotta tell you, pancakes donut holes blows donuts away.

Speaker A:

I don't know why.

Speaker A:

I have no idea why, but I.

Speaker B:

Will go for donuts.

Speaker A:

It's almost like, you know what?

Speaker A:

Why does Krispy Kreme not have donut holes?

Speaker B:

I know they didn't.

Speaker A:

I didn't know.

Speaker A:

Do they?

Speaker A:

Surely they don't.

Speaker A:

Have you ever had a Krispy Kreme donut hole?

Speaker B:

I hardly eat Krispy Kreme.

Speaker C:

I want to say like it I really like.

Speaker C:

Like when you go in Walmart, they have Krispy Kreme.

Speaker C:

Sometimes they'll have the little box of donut holes.

Speaker C:

I may be wrong though.

Speaker B:

Blueberry donut hole is my favorite donut hole.

Speaker A:

Never had one.

Speaker A:

Wait a minute.

Speaker A:

Maybe I did.

Speaker A:

Didn't we happen across some of those somewhere?

Speaker C:

We did.

Speaker C:

I think I like the reg ones better.

Speaker A:

They're donut dots that come 10, 10 count to a cup.

Speaker A:

But man, I like them from the like I almost said distillery, but they.

Speaker C:

Kind are like a solo cup.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And they don't.

Speaker A:

What did I go to here?

Speaker A:

And they don't.

Speaker A:

They're not like the ones you get at a regular donut shop because they're kind of like the real hole that got punched out the dog.

Speaker B:

Crazy crane to me, just, it's hot.

Speaker A:

When they got the hot donut sign on.

Speaker B:

I would rather have Gibson's or old school Howard's over.

Speaker A:

How's new school Howards?

Speaker B:

It's not.

Speaker B:

But actually new Howard's is good.

Speaker A:

If you guys don't know, we're talking about Howard's Donuts in West Memphis, Arkansas.

Speaker A:

Staple fryers.

Speaker B:

They are really striving to get back to the old.

Speaker B:

The old product.

Speaker B:

And they had some really good donuts and they have some.

Speaker B:

They're just.

Speaker B:

But I think they're still tweaking some stuff.

Speaker B:

I'll tell you now.

Speaker B:

They're blueberry and they're.

Speaker A:

I do like a blueberry.

Speaker C:

Red velvet.

Speaker B:

Donut holes are good, too.

Speaker A:

Red velvet.

Speaker A:

They have those donut holes for all of those over at Howard's.

Speaker B:

Blueberries and red velvet.

Speaker C:

They were eating for two or three days off of Facebook Marketplace.

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

He spent 50 on this plate.

Speaker A:

In the plate was two sets of waffles.

Speaker A:

Two of them were smothered in hot cheetos smashed up, and the other had.

Speaker A:

Was smothered something else.

Speaker A:

But dude, that plate looked fine.

Speaker B:

Only 300 calories.

Speaker C:

Speaker A:

My wife will make the cherry pie and use that cherry pie filling, and that stuff is good.

Speaker A:

When I was on weight loss, I would take Cool Whip, mix it with peanut butter.

Speaker B:

They just like a peanut butter pie.

Speaker B:

So good.

Speaker A:

Fat helps.

Speaker A:

Figure out ways to try to at least taste like it's unhealthy.

Speaker A:

Our buddy Dickel Pickle Daniel, he's on a cruise right now, cruising all over.

Speaker A:

They went out of the left coast and going down to Cabo today, I believe where it is at.

Speaker A:

But really, would you get on a cruise ship right now?

Speaker B:

I did not go.

Speaker A:

No, I'm not right now.

Speaker A:

Today, with all the.

Speaker A:

The sickness and illness that's showing up,.

Speaker B:

My better half and my eldest child are flying out Sunday for Dominican.

Speaker A:

I love Dominican.

Speaker A:

I went there about three years ago.

Speaker A:

It's a great place.

Speaker A:

I've never been great.

Speaker A:

We had to say, look, we took an excursion from the compound or whatever, and we're supposed to take these jet boats.

Speaker A:

And they picked us up in this little van.

Speaker A:

And dude, they took.

Speaker A:

They put up in this alley.

Speaker A:

And like, all right, we're here.

Speaker A:

And I know me and dw, we was ready to go.

Speaker A:

I'd already told Sam, I said, if I start swinging, just grab something and start hitting somebody.

Speaker A:

And it was legit.

Speaker A:

But they.

Speaker A:

They let you out there and they walk you through, like, this mall, and everybody's trying to get you by stuff, and then you open up in this beautiful bay.

Speaker C:

They all work together.

Speaker A:

And this dude probably weighed 120 pounds.

Speaker A:

And I got in the water, and he pulled me out of that water back onto that boat.

Speaker A:

I've been impressed by that.

Speaker A:

Extremely impressed.

Speaker A:

A viral video photo shows how many cruise pastures try to bring this banned item aboard.

You know what it is?

Speaker B:

Alcohol.

Speaker B:

I got caught.

Speaker C:

Could be anything.

Speaker B:

I got caught myself.

Speaker A:

Okay, I warned you about that, too.

Speaker A:

How'd they catch you, though?

Speaker A:

Because I don't know how to catch you.

Speaker B:

So they did not catch Charlie's bottle.

Speaker A:

Oh, but they caught yours.

Speaker B:

You caught mine.

Speaker B:

Get vodka.

Speaker B:

And they did not.

Speaker B:

Hers went through.

Speaker B:

And if we win it, what'd you have?

Speaker B:

I'd bourbon.

Speaker B:

I wasn't done.

Speaker B:

Great.

Speaker B:

I mean, so did they go through your bag or.

Speaker A:

They actually.

Speaker B:

I handed to them because I asked her to declare.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Oh, so your bottle of wine had bourbon in it?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And you sealed it and everything?

Speaker B:

They sealed everything.

Speaker A:

Well, how'd they figure that?

Speaker B:

So her.

Speaker B:

He took hers and he.

Speaker B:

He shook hers and everything looked fine.

Speaker B:

He gave it to her and he walked off.

Speaker B:

She.

Speaker B:

She should just walked off.

Speaker B:

And then he took mine.

Speaker B:

He.

Speaker B:

He shook mine.

Speaker B:

He stopped.

Speaker B:

He shook my.

Speaker B:

He put his phone out and looked at something.

Speaker B:

I don't know what he looked at, but something.

Speaker A:

Was your bottle transparent or was it.

Speaker B:

No, it was a darker color.

Speaker C:

I probably looked at the brand that you had, and it had a different cap on it.

Speaker A:

Oh, he probably used a white.

Speaker A:

No, he had a white wine.

Speaker A:

He didn't put a bourbon in.

Speaker B:

No, that's.

Speaker B:

That's what I figured was it was a cat.

Speaker C:

Yeah, it was.

Speaker C:

It was because Heat seal on and everything.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker B:

He sealed everything.

Speaker A:

That was what he did.

Speaker A:

You're right.

Speaker C:

I guarantee you he Googled that.

Speaker A:

He googled it.

Speaker B:

They had to have.

Speaker A:

Well, I bet you they had a good time.

Speaker A:

What.

Speaker A:

What was it, a 101?

Speaker B:

No, it was a logic, Craig.

Speaker B:

It was nothing spectacular, just a store.

Speaker B:

I actually, actually know one that was benchmark.

Speaker B:

It's just a benchmark.

Speaker B:

I just want something because if I get caught with it.

Speaker A:

Benchmark's good.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

No, I put a price P. Yeah, I want to get something.

Speaker B:

If we get caught.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So the number one thing people try to smuggle on board Bluetooth speakers.

Speaker A:

You know, after last summer, that hot girl summer that occurred on all them ships, they banned Bluetooth speakers because people were having their own party.

Speaker A:

Marty would try to get that cooler.

Speaker A:

He would try to bring that whole cooler on that ship when he went.

Speaker C:

Well, I could hear it from front to back.

Speaker B:

I'm not even sure after going on one, I'm not even sure how you would go about using over there, because there's.

Speaker A:

Yeah, well, maybe they do it on purpose.

Speaker C:

I mean, the time I went on a cruise, I took one for the room.

Speaker C:

You know, one Little Wonder.

Speaker C:

Booms or whatever.

Speaker A:

You can't no more.

Speaker C:

I know.

Speaker C:

I knew you shouldn't say that.

Speaker A:

Can't no more.

Speaker A:

Nerd.

Speaker C:

Can't do it.

Speaker A:

Get your music on up out of here.

Speaker B:

I would say this going on cruise changed my whole travel ideas.

Speaker B:

That's the last way to do it.

Speaker B:

Cruises.

Speaker B:

I felt like.

Speaker B:

I felt like a princess.

Speaker A:

Well, that's why I like all inclusive.

Speaker B:

Yeah, the same thing.

Speaker B:

Same thing.

Speaker B:

But man, we walked up, the dude at our table was like, he.

Speaker B:

I got up and start cutting my kids stays and those other stuff.

Speaker B:

He said, no, he just stays there.

Speaker B:

He said, jamie, you sit down.

Speaker B:

I have this.

Speaker B:

Like they do our names.

Speaker B:

The day we walked in, they knew our names.

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker B:

We had identical twins with us.

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker B:

Hell, I don't know them before yet.

Speaker A:

They had what?

Speaker B:

The couple girls are diademal twins.

Speaker B:

Yeah, they just live a fortune.

Speaker B:

Oh, the first day and they still don't know for 11 years.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

I call them twin or just say a random name and see which one looks June 8th.

Speaker A:

A historical.

Speaker A:

Actually, DW is in Cancun A.

Speaker A:

It says Savannah Cancun.

Speaker A:

A historically strong earthquake struck off Cuba's northwest coast on Monday, according to official reports, shaking parts of Cuba, Mexico and Florida that are typically not prone to earthquakes.

Speaker A:

It was a 6.1 at a shallow depth of 16 miles.

Speaker B:

Wow, that is very shallow.

Speaker C:

If I was in Cancun I wouldn't have felt it.

Speaker A:

Marty was towards the music.

Speaker A:

It was the boom, boom, boom.

Speaker A:

It was unusual for this area of the Caribbean, said Paul Earl, seismatologist.

Speaker A:

Seismatologist.

Speaker A:

Seismologist.

Speaker A:

Seismologist at the usgs, noting that the quake occurred within a tectonic plate.

Speaker A:

Earthquakes are usually more scattered and less frequent.

Speaker A:

Okay, but there was no tsunami.

Speaker B:

I still think about that one that hit Indonesia back.

Speaker B:

That's been 20 years ago.

Speaker A:

Had it maybe 25, but dude, I.

Speaker B:

Remember when that:

Speaker A:

Did you ever watch a movie about that?

Speaker A:

I didn't have a movie about it, no.

Speaker A:

There's a movie of a couple that survived it.

Speaker A:

It's pretty impressive.

Speaker B:

I turned today about the new Michael Jackson movie.

Speaker A:

I think I heard about it a few weeks ago.

Speaker B:

That's a great lead information.

Speaker B:

Great.

Speaker C:

I know.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

He man Masters of the universe.

Speaker A:

Look, if you're in your 40s, 50s, you probably played with he man toys.

Speaker A:

I would.

Speaker A:

I would guess.

Speaker A:

Jamie, did you have he mans multiples?

Speaker A:

What was your favorite character for the he mans?

Speaker B:

Duncan.

Speaker B:

That's the little Duncan.

Speaker B:

No, he was there.

Speaker B:

He was.

Speaker B:

He was just like a sidekick.

Speaker B:

His right hand guy that had like the odd shaped helmet.

Speaker A:

See, I liked the little wizard dude that had no face.

Speaker A:

What was his name?

Speaker A:

I don't remember that.

Speaker A:

Did you, Marty?

Speaker A:

Did you like he man?

Speaker C:

I had some Heman stuff.

Speaker A:

You had the tiger.

Speaker A:

Would you like put your underwear on and ride around on that tiger through the house?

Speaker B:

See, I probably the young enough from y' all that my age when they started coming to really cool he man toys.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, they were not cool with us.

Speaker A:

They were all basically the same with different colors.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So for me you had the.

Speaker B:

The castle grayskull.

Speaker A:

Did you see at the theater this weekend you could get popcorn in a castle grayskull?

Speaker C:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

Oh, you didn't see that.

Speaker A:

John Pence had it up.

Speaker A:

John maybe.

Speaker A:

Listen, he listens to a lot of.

Speaker B:

These, so that'd be cool.

Speaker A:

Let's see.

Speaker B:

Well, I'm gonna go back, check out John Pence's.

Speaker B:

So he had one.

Speaker A:

He went to the movie and he had a picture of.

Speaker A:

Check out his Facebook.

Speaker C:

Locally?

Speaker A:

Yeah, locally.

Speaker A:

At Memphis Powerhouse, I believe it was.

Speaker B:

Have you.

Speaker B:

Have y' all ever.

Speaker A:

I've heard the movie's pretty good.

Speaker B:

Have y' all ever done like a midnight showing or any of that?

Speaker A:

When I was in college, we went to midnight movie almost weekly.

Speaker B:

Well, I'm talking about like a special release, stuff like that.

Speaker B:

We did the midnight release of the.

Speaker A:

Oh, the night before.

Speaker A:

Like the first night it came out.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I did that.

Speaker A:

When they redid the first three Star wars, we did all three of them.

Speaker A:

I was in college at the time.

Speaker B:

We did Matrix.

Speaker B:

Probably the third one.

Speaker A:

You know, I've never watched the Matrix.

Speaker A:

I, I literally six or more times start watching it, the first one, because I gotta watch them in order.

Speaker A:

I fall asleep and then wake up at the end.

Speaker A:

And after the third or fourth time, I guess, fifth time, I'm like, okay, it's not meant for me, so maybe I should go back and watch it.

Speaker A:

Also, just recently, two years ago, watched the.

Speaker A:

The other Keanu Reeves that are awesome, where you just shoot them up a wicked Wick.

Speaker A:

John Wick.

Speaker A:

I watched every one of those back, back, back to back.

Speaker B:

First I watched second one too, but it's like you can't even be that much about that much stuff.

Speaker A:

You know, Mark Pruitt's in the chat.

Speaker A:

He's a big film guy.

Speaker A:

He's got a lot of film posters they like to post.

Speaker A:

When we get on Discord, I expect we'll be on Discord after this.

Speaker B:

I love film posters.

Speaker B:

I mean, that's, you know, that's just kind of a genre that's really underappreciated.

Speaker A:

So, you know, I can't remember the last movie.

Speaker B:

Phil poster.

Speaker B:

Jaws.

Speaker A:

Jaws is there.

Speaker A:

Pulp Fiction's a big one too.

Speaker A:

Pulp Fiction's a good one.

Speaker A:

The Star wars ones, Top Gun, original Top Gun I would say is iconic.

Speaker A:

Other.

Speaker A:

Are modern film posters iconic?

Speaker A:

No, probably the original Jurassic park is another one that sticks out.

Speaker B:

Would you call that modern?

Speaker A:

No, no, no, no, no, it's not.

Speaker A:

No, I wasn't saying.

Speaker A:

But.

Speaker A:

But are any modern film posters like.

Speaker B:

No, because the films aren't like they used to be to be.

Speaker B:

Because now within months.

Speaker B:

Or you can get on Disney.

Speaker A:

Scream.

Speaker A:

I remember the original Scream.

Speaker A:

I watched that in the theater and it was awesome.

Speaker A:

Now since then.

Speaker A:

But the, the posters were great.

Speaker A:

And those posters, when you would go see a movie, would suck you in to come watch this other movie.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And now we know about movies even without paying much attention.

Speaker A:

If you're on Tick Tock or somewhere, you know what movies are coming up.

Speaker B:

I don't.

Speaker B:

I mean, I. I haven't.

Speaker A:

What's the last movie?

Speaker A:

I think the last movie I went to was either Top Gun, Maverick, which are great.

Speaker A:

Sin Theater, or Ghostbusters.

Speaker A:

Not the one with the women, but the, the first one that came out.

Speaker B:

Paul Rudd.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker B:

That was a Good one.

Speaker A:

Yeah, right after.

Speaker A:

But other than that, I love movies.

Speaker B:

Toy Story 4, I guess new Toy Story coming out.

Speaker A:

You guys didn't want you for it, did you?

Speaker A:

I know Mark Pruitt did.

Speaker A:

That is a crazy show.

Speaker A:

Euphoria.

Speaker A:

I've watched all three seasons.

Speaker A:

Jamie, you'd enjoy it.

Speaker A:

A lot of adult content.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Masters of the Universe movie solves a decades old he man mystery.

Speaker A:

You don't know what it is.

Speaker B:

Why does he run around his underwear?

Speaker A:

One involved.

Speaker A:

Why?

Speaker A:

For a burly barbarian, the alter ego of Prince Adam seems unusually restrained in battle.

Speaker A:

I mean this is the age old Superman versus.

Speaker A:

I didn't know that was a big deal.

Speaker B:

I didn't know either, but apparently it was.

Speaker A:

Despite being armed with the sword of power, he man never used his sword against other people in the original.

Speaker A:

He Man.

Speaker A:

This was a concern by moral guardians at the time regarding violence in children's programming.

Speaker A:

So He Man.

Speaker A:

There's also a Netflix show talking about the toys that made us.

Speaker A:

Have you watched this?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So interesting story.

Speaker B:

And I.

Speaker B:

You may not know, you may know this already, but all these cartoons from the 70s and 80s, the only reason they existed was because there was a law that you could not advertise children's toys.

Speaker A:

This.

Speaker A:

This is true.

Speaker A:

He man was.

Speaker A:

These were toy like GI Joe, my favorite all time cartoon.

Speaker A:

GI Joe, American Hero.

Speaker B:

Because they were advertised for the.

Speaker A:

I have all of my GI Joe from my childhood.

Speaker A:

Now they're not in great shape, but I probably have over 200 action figures.

Speaker A:

And then I was probably 18.

Speaker B:

What was your favorite GI joke?

Speaker A:

Oh, that's easy.

Speaker A:

Snake Eyes.

Speaker B:

Mine was Destro.

Speaker A:

Really?

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker A:

No, Snake Eyes was my favorite by far.

Speaker B:

Distros.

Speaker B:

That was a hard to get toy.

Speaker A:

So when I got.

Speaker A:

I was about 18 or 19.

Speaker A:

A friend of mine, ours, we know him.

Speaker A:

I want to say the same off air.

Speaker A:

His old brother was done with gho, but he's probably five years younger than us and his mom was wanting to get rid of him.

Speaker A:

I said I'll take them all.

Speaker A:

And so my.

Speaker A:

And I've held on to him all of it, probably 25, 30 years now.

Speaker A:

I had to buy little rubber things the other day when I found them again to replace that little part that held the top to the bottom.

Speaker A:

But.

Speaker C:

Oh yeah, O ring or something.

Speaker A:

That's all this.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker B:

Ingenious.

Speaker B:

Ingenious because it gave a lot of mobility.

Speaker C:

Swivel arm, battle grip.

Speaker A:

Battle grip with the kung fu grip.

Speaker B:

Yeah, your Destro was a.

Speaker B:

Was an awesome character.

Speaker A:

Oh, did you guys see where the truck carrying fireworks ignited on Tennessee Interstate.

Speaker C:

I saw.

Speaker B:

Where was that at?

Speaker B:

I did not.

Speaker A:

Let's see, where did.

Speaker A:

Where was that rear brake fire.

Speaker A:

You know what happens a lot on truck.

Speaker A:

It does led TO pyrotechnics show 20 miles east of Chattanooga.

Speaker B:

All I could think about was me, Big B and ray Castle.

Speaker B:

Oh, J.D.

Speaker B:

Jada.

Speaker B:

That's what it was.

Speaker B:

Me, Barry Black and J.

Speaker B:

Day.

Speaker A:

All right, you got to elaborate.

Speaker B:

No, you don't.

Speaker B:

Wrote a story.

Speaker A:

But the people out there have no idea about this.

Speaker B:

I actually wrote a paper in college about this event.

Speaker B:

They got it.

Speaker B:

So we're traveling.

Speaker B:

I had an 86 Pontiac Suburb Blue 2 door.

Speaker A:

I don't remember that.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that very first people ever had a big dent s. I gave 400 bucks for it.

Speaker B:

I so I. I was so proud.

Speaker A:

Dude, that's awesome.

Speaker A:

One that runs.

Speaker B:

Yeah, we think.

Speaker B:

I think this was 97, 96 like that.

Speaker B:

But so we're.

Speaker B:

It's probably Fourth of July.

Speaker B:

Well, Big B, who was a large fell is in the front seat with about three piggly Wiggly bags of probably mad butcher bags of bottle rockets.

Speaker B:

Bottle rockets and assorted stuff, of course.

Speaker A:

Roman candles.

Speaker B:

Roman candles.

Speaker B:

All, all the good stuff.

Speaker B:

J.D.

Speaker B:

Who was probably a buck 30 at the most.

Speaker A:

He ain't much more than that now.

Speaker B:

Was sitting in the back.

Speaker B:

And we're traveling the interstate and Big B licen candle throws it out the window.

Speaker B:

Window wasn't down.

Speaker A:

No, no, I've never heard this story.

Speaker B:

Have you not never.

Speaker B:

We're traveling 70 down the interstate between.

Speaker A:

Our eyes and the Roman candle.

Speaker A:

Off.

Speaker B:

No, it's a.

Speaker B:

Is a bottle rocket.

Speaker A:

Oh, okay.

Speaker B:

And it lands in the bag.

Speaker B:

So the b.

Speaker A:

So this is like a movie I take.

Speaker A:

I have to capture all our stories.

Speaker A:

I can make a movie out of it, at least screenplay.

Speaker B:

This little 86 sub 70 at 70 I put it in park and somehow JD beats Barry out the car.

Speaker B:

JD's in the back.

Speaker B:

Barry's face first.

Speaker B:

His bag and it just starts going off everywhere.

Speaker B:

Burned all over the inside of that car.

Speaker A:

So I have a bottle rocket store.

Speaker A:

Everybody got a bottle rocket story.

Speaker A:

So yeah.

Speaker A:

So I was probably 12 or 13 time and we lived out in the country and people would bring their animals and let them loose.

Speaker A:

And then we had this dog we called Smokey.

Speaker A:

Dude with.

Speaker A:

He was cool.

Speaker A:

He was.

Speaker A:

But dude would chase a bottle rocket.

Speaker A:

If you threw a bottle rocket, he'd grab it and it ain't no telling where it's going.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker A:

So fourth of July.

Speaker A:

I'm Throwing bottle rockets off the porch.

Speaker A:

I remember exactly where it was.

Speaker A:

Threw it off porch.

Speaker A:

And I really thought I had waited because I didn't really want the dog to grab the bottle rocket.

Speaker A:

Dude grabs the bottle rocket, it turns around, aims right at me from point zero range and hits me in the stomach.

Speaker A:

It literally bounces three times and explodes right there.

Speaker A:

Oh, Smokey, never get that.

Speaker C:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

And then hopefully my son's not listening.

Speaker A:

But we did get in trouble one time for.

Speaker A:

We would take like tent poles.

Speaker B:

Oh, 100.

Speaker A:

And you'd load them.

Speaker A:

But we drove around shooting them at each other down in Earl.

Speaker B:

We would go to Drock's house and we'd have wars and we'd team up and I'd give me a big piece of PVC and I'd put them on show.

Speaker A:

Well, these were wars.

Speaker A:

There's multiple cars.

Speaker A:

We were driving around shooting at each other.

Speaker B:

People would load.

Speaker B:

Load them in the back.

Speaker A:

Man, the things we, we had yard darts and everything and still survived yard.

Speaker A:

It is amazing.

Speaker B:

Me, me and brother Fordberry, they weren't yard other house darts.

Speaker B:

We would stand at the opposite end of the hallway because his bedroom was at one end, mine was at the other.

Speaker B:

And we would crack the door open and throw darts and try to hit the person that try to shut real dart.

Speaker B:

Real darts.

Speaker B:

And you try to shut the door before it got through.

Speaker A:

So that's why Wes's I, I.

Speaker A:

You stunted his growth with that yard.

Speaker B:

With the real dart.

Speaker A:

House dart.

Speaker A:

He called him house darts.

Speaker B:

House darts.

Speaker B:

It stuck him right in the center of his chest.

Speaker A:

It was okay.

Speaker B:

All I hear is screaming.

Speaker B:

So I run in there and he's laying on his bed all four feet.

Speaker A:

All four feet.

Speaker A:

So he's not just a baby giant.

Speaker A:

He's a animal.

Speaker B:

Now, his peter there, dar sticked out of his chest.

Speaker B:

I take the last dart.

Speaker B:

Has went right through the side of his toe.

Speaker B:

You won that one.

Speaker B:

I wonder.

Speaker A:

Oh, that's terrible, Jamie.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you'd probably.

Speaker A:

That'd be on video.

Speaker A:

And you go to jail.

Speaker A:

You'd probably be in juvenile detention.

Speaker B:

Man, I got a chunk of my forehead that's coming.

Speaker B:

It still has a like a chip.

Speaker A:

Look, there is not a doubt in my mind.

Speaker A:

If we were teenagers today, you would be in prison.

Speaker A:

There is no doubt.

Speaker A:

My mind, brother, father forever be in prison.

Speaker A:

There's no doubt.

Speaker A:

So the fortune lot.

Speaker A:

Fourth July, right?

Speaker A:

Look, we're halfway through this year.

Speaker A:

You believe it or not, Fourth July's coming.

Speaker A:

But the fourth of July, the date is very iconic, right?

Speaker B:

Yeah, it makes sense.

Speaker A:

Why.

Speaker A:

Why is the fourth you love very iconic, right?

Speaker B:

Decoration of independence.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Our.

Speaker A:

Our freedom.

Speaker A:

So when Karen Bass Suggested moving to July 4th parade date to save money, don't you lose the entire idea of what, torture life?

Speaker A:

Now I can move my pool party because that's a weekend fortune.

Speaker A:

I can move that to, like, anytime.

Speaker A:

But a city cannot celebrate fourth of July.

Speaker A:

I guess some do around here, though.

Speaker B:

But that's just like when people say we're.

Speaker B:

So we'll celebrate Halloween on Saturday.

Speaker B:

No, Halloween is October 31st.

Speaker A:

Is that not the most, like, Karen thing to do either?

Speaker A:

Not Karen Bass, but Karen.

Speaker B:

If you knock on my door November 2nd for candy, you're out of luck, period.

Speaker A:

But now we will have.

Speaker A:

So I think the.

Speaker A:

The third.

Speaker A:

So July 3rd, the night of July 3rd, is probably open for fireworks.

Speaker A:

Works because you're like, oh, we're doing.

Speaker A:

Fortunately, that's firework.

Speaker A:

But after July 4th's over, I'm not doing fireworks.

Speaker A:

I'm not going to any more fireworks.

Speaker C:

No, no.

Speaker B:

So if you're doing a.

Speaker B:

A community fireworks show.

Speaker A:

Third or fourth?

Speaker B:

No, I'd say second.

Speaker B:

Third.

Speaker B:

Fourth.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

But leading up to it.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker B:

Because it's a community event.

Speaker B:

I mean, it takes a bit of the plan.

Speaker B:

You got to make it all work out.

Speaker A:

And this year is extremely important.

Speaker A:

Marty, do you know why this year is extremely important?

Speaker B:

250.

Speaker B:

250.

Speaker A:

250Th.

Speaker A:

Man.

Speaker A:

And so you really got to do it on day of.

Speaker A:

We're gonna have to have a.

Speaker C:

It's a Saturday, too.

Speaker B:

Yes, it's a Saturday.

Speaker A:

We gonna have to b.

Speaker A:

We need a patio.

Speaker A:

250Th extravaganza.

Speaker B:

250.

Speaker A:

No, we're not inviting 250 people.

Speaker A:

There's only 19 watching.

Speaker A:

14.

Speaker A:

They can all come.

Speaker B:

But I was gonna say 250 paloa.

Speaker A:

But patio Palooza.

Speaker A:

We got Patio Palooza.

Speaker A:

You know, Daniel would offer his bottle share if you guys haven't been paying attention to Discord.

Speaker A:

Dickel Pickle is having a bottle share June 27th.

Speaker A:

I will not be there.

Speaker A:

I will be out of town.

Speaker A:

But I know part of the patio will be there.

Speaker C:

Yeah, I know.

Speaker C:

I'm pretty sure me and Wes will be there.

Speaker C:

Maybe.

Speaker A:

I got a feeling.

Speaker A:

Gary and brother and father for me.

Speaker A:

Maybe there.

Speaker A:

Where's it at?

Speaker A:

But there'll be a car headed that way.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I gotta.

Speaker B:

I will probably have some collateral because I will be.

Speaker B:

That's the week after I sit at home with two little kids My wife is on the beach, and if they.

Speaker A:

Leave Sunday, there'll be two weeks after.

Speaker B:

Okay, well, June feels long and short.

Speaker B:

Collateral, though, is what I'm getting at.

Speaker A:

That's never worked in your favor in the past.

Speaker B:

Otherwise, I'm gonna go get a tattoo once she's gone.

Speaker A:

Of what?

Speaker A:

Should we take a poll and they get to vote on what you.

Speaker A:

You need life in the patio Tattoo.

Speaker B:

Millie won't.

Speaker B:

Millie wants her tattoo.

Speaker C:

Oh, yeah?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Because you did a Mac one.

Speaker A:

What's it gonna be?

Speaker B:

But now she did want right here.

Speaker B:

She wanted her name right here.

Speaker B:

But now she wants something similar to what Mac has.

Speaker B:

But she wants it on this arm.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but you can't tell that's Mac.

Speaker B:

Well, it has a name.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but if you took name off, it's just a figure.

Speaker B:

So just get another one just like it.

Speaker A:

Maybe.

Speaker A:

Here, let me put you up.

Speaker A:

You can show everybody what you got there.

Speaker B:

That's kind of a bad way.

Speaker C:

That's father, son.

Speaker C:

I mean, yeah, I think it's.

Speaker B:

I think it's self explanatory, is it not?

Speaker A:

So if you did the same and put a Millie on it.

Speaker B:

But there's stuff that like a dad on his daughter up in there, and you get that kind of thing.

Speaker A:

A silhouette, she'll kick you in a mouth.

Speaker A:

You hold her up in there like that.

Speaker B:

She's got, you know, I used to be her favorite human.

Speaker B:

And she's gotten back to where she's all about her dad.

Speaker B:

Oh, she is.

Speaker B:

Last night, if you want to sleep with us, that's fine.

Speaker B:

Yeah, come on.

Speaker A:

I didn't know she ever stopped.

Speaker B:

Well, she did for a while.

Speaker B:

So she crawled in bed, and at some point in the middle of now, I feel her lay on top of me like a pillow.

Speaker A:

So my dog will do that.

Speaker A:

Like, la cross.

Speaker C:

You're good, son.

Speaker B:

I was like, you're killing me.

Speaker A:

You can't throw her off because you don't know how many more days you have like this.

Speaker B:

I was laying there and I was like, she'll eventually get uncomfortable.

Speaker B:

She'll move.

Speaker B:

No, no, she moved every minute.

Speaker B:

But I was like, yeah, they're limited.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, those moments are limited.

Speaker A:

There's no doubt.

Speaker B:

Like, Mac tells.

Speaker B:

Mac tells me a lot, that he loves me.

Speaker B:

And I was like, dude, quit telling me you love me all the time.

Speaker A:

But don't.

Speaker A:

Don't do that, Jamie.

Speaker A:

Don't do that.

Speaker A:

Because there will be a time.

Speaker B:

There will be a time where he'll be like his friends there, like, all right.

Speaker B:

Bye.

Speaker C:

Look.

Speaker A:

Oh, no, no.

Speaker C:

Come here.

Speaker B:

Amazes me.

Speaker B:

Like, when I'm at work, the amount of people get off phone with their wife or they don't say, I love you.

Speaker B:

That might really be away.

Speaker C:

Really?

Speaker A:

I'll tell you I love you.

Speaker A:

When I go home, I'm literally, dude, if I'm talking to you on the phone, I love you.

Speaker A:

Maybe at the end of that.

Speaker B:

Best friend's day.

Speaker A:

Oh, that's right.

Speaker A:

Today is best friend.

Speaker C:

It is.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

But it's best friends day.

Speaker A:

About a single best friend or no friends.

Speaker C:

No friends.

Speaker A:

Friends.

Speaker C:

Best friends.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

No, I mean, I couldn't.

Speaker B:

I couldn't.

Speaker B:

I gun to head, I couldn't say who my best friend is.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Ain't no way.

Speaker C:

People that do have one that.

Speaker C:

Never mind that.

Speaker C:

They, they just don't.

Speaker C:

They're limited.

Speaker B:

I mean.

Speaker B:

I mean, it's a.

Speaker C:

And they change them interchangeable.

Speaker A:

They throw them away like trash.

Speaker B:

I will say this.

Speaker B:

I have my friends that, like, I know what my friends are good at.

Speaker B:

Like, if I'm in a B.

Speaker A:

So you take advantage of your friend strength.

Speaker B:

You know what, your friends are good.

Speaker B:

Like, if I'm in a bind, I'm calling Andy Thompson.

Speaker B:

Because Andy would put his family out before to go help you.

Speaker B:

He would.

Speaker A:

Like, Andy's a good, supportive friend.

Speaker B:

Oh.

Speaker B:

But like, dude, you could be a thousand miles away and he'd be like, oh, you.

Speaker B:

Like, I clearly have the baby now.

Speaker A:

Wes ain't far from that either.

Speaker A:

No, no, Wes ain't far from it either.

Speaker B:

My wife will do anything you ask her to do.

Speaker B:

You will not volunteer it.

Speaker B:

But.

Speaker A:

But if you ask her, somebody called and said, charlie, I'm in Cancun.

Speaker A:

I need you to get here tomorrow.

Speaker B:

She'll do it.

Speaker A:

She'll do it, but she ain't fixing the site.

Speaker B:

The neighbors are house on fire.

Speaker B:

You're like, well, that's terrible.

Speaker A:

Unless you hear baby screaming.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Charlie.

Speaker B:

Well, I mean, that's just.

Speaker B:

You gotta know what people are good at.

Speaker B:

Like, like, don't call me to come ask me to fix your vehicle out.

Speaker B:

I'll come pick you up.

Speaker B:

I hope you move.

Speaker A:

I hate moving and I hate helping anybody move, but I'll do it.

Speaker A:

But, man, it stinks.

Speaker A:

Moving stinks.

Speaker C:

I'd rather move than paint.

Speaker C:

Don't ask me to paint.

Speaker A:

Yeah, no, I don't paint it.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna burn your house.

Speaker A:

I don't paint.

Speaker B:

I'll tell you what, I will paint.

Speaker A:

You a picture, but I won't paint no walls.

Speaker A:

I literally will.

Speaker A:

I Will paint a picture, I'll paint a mural.

Speaker A:

But I don't want to paint the walls.

Speaker B:

I help somebody boo one day.

Speaker B:

I'll leave names out of it.

Speaker B:

There wasn't my people.

Speaker B:

It was some of my wife's people.

Speaker B:

And no pizza was involved.

Speaker B:

I was.

Speaker B:

I was astonished.

Speaker A:

Look, growing up, if we were moving something, and I live in the Same House for 30 years, but like college, it was trash bags.

Speaker A:

You just threw everything in, trash bag.

Speaker A:

But at least it was ready to move.

Speaker A:

When you walk in somebody's house and ain't done nothing to be ready to move, that's terrible.

Speaker B:

No, no, you're ready.

Speaker A:

That means stuff has been thought.

Speaker A:

You walk in, look like they live in here right now, and you're like, oh, hell, this gonna be a long.

Speaker C:

Jamie's just warming us up because we got a moving party coming up.

Speaker A:

Oh, we do?

Speaker A:

Who's moving?

Speaker A:

Mg. Oh, that's me moving to college.

Speaker A:

Easy.

Speaker B:

No, no, I just.

Speaker B:

She's three floors.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I gotta get help.

Speaker B:

Do they?

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah, Yeah, I bet.

Speaker A:

There's no way.

Speaker A:

As unhealthy and fat as people are today, you don't think there's an elevator?

Speaker B:

You're right.

Speaker B:

You're right.

Speaker B:

I'm good.

Speaker C:

I'm gonna get a boom truck.

Speaker C:

They got a.

Speaker C:

They got a balcony.

Speaker B:

But the dress.

Speaker B:

It's just one dress, but it's not that big of a deal.

Speaker A:

But she can get a smaller dresser.

Speaker B:

Totally.

Speaker B:

Look, all this stuff moving to school with is in my living room right now.

Speaker C:

Go to Ikea and get one and put it together.

Speaker C:

And when she moves out, leave it.

Speaker B:

Yeah, and we got a rug that day.

Speaker B:

It is awesome.

Speaker B:

It's a red wolf rug.

Speaker A:

I saw that.

Speaker A:

It's sharp, but you're going to get it dirty with your feet.

Speaker B:

She probably won't.

Speaker B:

She probably.

Speaker A:

She gonna have.

Speaker A:

It's hers.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

No, if it's mine, it'd be okay behind it, probably hanging on the wall because it'd be dirty otherwise.

Speaker A:

Tipping culture.

Speaker A:

We've talked about this a little bit.

Speaker B:

I hate it.

Speaker A:

I actually have.

Speaker A:

Never mind tipping.

Speaker A:

But I am fed up with it.

Speaker A:

I gotta admit, I'm fed up with it.

Speaker A:

Americans finally snap over ridiculous tipping culture as Mayan slash gratuities and reel the trick.

Speaker B:

You got that?

Speaker A:

They are refusing.

Speaker C:

I thought you said something else.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker B:

I say keep going.

Speaker B:

Keep going.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

After years of being asked to leave gratuities everywhere, from coffee shops and takeout counters to ride share apps, people are just being asked to leave tips.

Speaker B:

If.

Speaker B:

If I Place an order standing up.

Speaker B:

I'm not tipping.

Speaker B:

Period of sentence.

Speaker B:

I also don't feel like I should tip.

Speaker B:

So like I'll give a two dollar tip at a restaurant, go to at lunch for work.

Speaker B:

I get a eleven meal.

Speaker B:

I'll get a two dollar tip.

Speaker B:

I think that's fair.

Speaker B:

The entire table is probably tipping $2 a piece.

Speaker B:

There's three or four of us, they're getting eight, $10.

Speaker B:

That, that's, that's legit.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

You know, if I go out with my family, it's usually a 10, 15 tip depending on what the bill is.

Speaker C:

Oh yeah.

Speaker B:

But I to expect like my boss told me one day, he said, oh, I don't tip less 5 or more.

Speaker B:

I said, well that's fine.

Speaker B:

If you want to get by eight dollar meal until five dollars, that's on you.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

And who here tips after taxes?

Speaker B:

Because you shouldn't, you should tip before tax.

Speaker A:

I tip after total.

Speaker B:

Shouldn't price.

Speaker A:

If you, if you're downtown Memphis, they stick another bill.

Speaker A:

That's not gratuity.

Speaker A:

That doesn't go service char.

Speaker A:

And it's, it's hefty too.

Speaker A:

Other countries do not tip.

Speaker A:

They have the full price.

Speaker A:

They don't even have taxes.

Speaker A:

They have the full price of stuff.

Speaker B:

You know where I tip heavy is the bar.

Speaker A:

Because you like to make sure they give you a drink.

Speaker B:

Yeah, I, I want them to know I'm taking care of them.

Speaker B:

Them take care of me.

Speaker B:

It's a mutual arrangement.

Speaker C:

Like some of these apps you order alcohol on.

Speaker C:

If you don't wash it, the tips on it.

Speaker C:

There's a tip on there and I'm going to pick it up.

Speaker C:

No, I'm not.

Speaker C:

You're not getting a tip.

Speaker C:

All they gotta do is get it off the shelf and put it in a bag.

Speaker B:

I love when I say okay, it's gonna ask you a question.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

Everybody knows what that means.

Speaker A:

Let me ask you a question.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker B:

We'll brought that up anyway.

Speaker B:

Just something you ran across it.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it's just people talking about tips.

Speaker A:

And, and it is.

Speaker B:

I see these people on Facebook saying if you can't afford a 20 tip, don't go out to eat.

Speaker B:

No, I can afford the bill.

Speaker B:

That ain't problem.

Speaker B:

And you're not guaranteed a tip.

Speaker A:

I mean 100 bucks, they expect you to drop another 20 bucks.

Speaker B:

I usually.

Speaker B:

So last night we went to We P Low.

Speaker B:

My bill was 85.

Speaker B:

I dropped $10.

Speaker A:

That's, that's good too.

Speaker B:

Mathematically that's not correct.

Speaker B:

But I mean that's 15.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker B:

Or 10.

Speaker B:

It's 10.

Speaker B:

Oh, it's over 10.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

Speaker A:

All right, what else y' all got, man?

Speaker B:

Look, we played some golf this weekend, though.

Speaker A:

Oh, there we go.

Speaker A:

There was a golf tournament this weekend.

Speaker A:

I played golf Saturday.

Speaker A:

I didn't play two games.

Speaker A:

Pretty decent.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker B:

The man sitting across from me to my top left.

Speaker B:

If y' all watch, look at the screen.

Speaker B:

Probably some of his best drives I've ever seen him hit.

Speaker B:

Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever play pretty good.

Speaker B:

Yeah, dude, he was hitting.

Speaker A:

So does that mean he's gonna get a new driver?

Speaker C:

You know what that means.

Speaker C:

Next time I probably won't hit nothing.

Speaker A:

No, I'm gonna try to play this weekend.

Speaker C:

I need a new driver.

Speaker B:

I might be down to play Sunday.

Speaker A:

I was thinking Saturday, but.

Speaker B:

Well, I got soccer and I'll be.

Speaker B:

I'll be single Sunday.

Speaker C:

Oh, I've got.

Speaker C:

I think we're gonna go watch Brooks play nine, one and three Saturdays.

Speaker A:

Oh, full day.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

I go after church Sunday.

Speaker B:

I have the littles with me.

Speaker C:

And there's something else I want to see if y' all ever heard of.

Speaker C:

So it's called a family day tournament or whatever.

Speaker C:

So Saturday they play, you know, they play everybody.

Speaker C:

And then Sunday they're not starting till after church at one o'.

Speaker C:

Clock.

Speaker C:

So that's pretty good.

Speaker B:

I like that.

Speaker C:

And then it's on the tournament thing, it said if you.

Speaker C:

If you're from out of town, they'll direct you to a church to go to.

Speaker C:

I kind of like that.

Speaker B:

That is pretty cool.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker C:

I've never heard of that.

Speaker C:

They say do it two times a year.

Speaker B:

What brand or what brand?

Speaker B:

What.

Speaker B:

What flavor?

Speaker C:

It's.

Speaker B:

What's the not grand slam of utrip?

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker A:

Is it not?

Speaker C:

What's the other one?

Speaker C:

It might be grand slam.

Speaker A:

I think it is grand slam.

Speaker C:

They said they do two of them a year.

Speaker B:

I like that.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Yeah, I really like that.

Speaker B:

We got a lot of people in our church that missed because of tournaments.

Speaker A:

Flesh eating parasite cases rise as fears intensive intensify over U. S. Outbreak cases of flesh eating parasite that burrows into the living tissue is victims have risen in 4 to 4 in the U. S. Okay.

Speaker A:

Have you ever known anybody to suffer from flesh eating virus?

Speaker B:

Yes, West's wife.

Speaker A:

That was not flesh fleshy bacteria.

Speaker B:

That was.

Speaker A:

Staff.

Speaker B:

You better ask west, because I'm pretty sure it was a necrosis of the lungs.

Speaker A:

They called it that, but I think it was.

Speaker C:

You're talking about like on the outside?

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Ginger's uncle did.

Speaker C:

Yeah, I think.

Speaker C:

Speaker A:

You can survive it different.

Speaker B:

Soccer team.

Speaker A:

Speaker B:

We know nothing about soccer.

Speaker B:

And it has been a interesting quick lesson.

Speaker B:

Private lessons to try to figure it out.

Speaker C:

His little girl needs to get some godflow.

Speaker B:

Dude.

Speaker B:

She was hammering it once.

Speaker B:
