Because she was our resident stain remover. Uh-huh. He took a six-month class at Columbia, of course. I did it at night. Part of learning to live alone and be on your own and be okay with that and stave off loneliness is becoming self-sufficient. I do laundry almost obsessively to ignore the fact that no one else is there to do it for me anymore. That was dark. If that's, you know, not to be sad.
Try watching a little TV. Yeah, I do. I do while I'm doing laundry. Trying pickleball. Yeah. Do you do pickleball? I have. I like pickleball. Or are you the classier paddle kind of guy? Yeah, good for you for saying it correctly because a lot of people would say Padel.
I know Andrew Schultz. Yeah. Yeah. But the problem with calling it paddle is that there's also paddle tennis, also known as platform tennis. And those two run in similar circles because those are both very wealthy, like high end country club enclave.
No. Paddle tennis is platform tennis, which is played in a wire fenced-in court with a very rough court. It's a winter sport. The court's always heated, but it's outdoors. And then there's paddle, as you correctly said, Kevin, where paddle is on a turf and has glass walls with a little bit of wire. Okay. Okay. Pretty similar.
I mean, in the pantheon of elitist racket sports, that's a deep that is a i would say platform tennis is the most elite paddle is probably second squash would be third that's racquetball no squash and racquetball are slightly different racquetball is a much bouncier ball okay squash the ball is very flat and it doesn't bounce very high
Yep. Okay. All right. Pickleball is, I would say, the most universal.
Yeah, someone can set up a Fisher-Price net on a court in Washington Square Park and, you know, play with. Bang away.
Yeah, I saw that. Yeah, that was grotesque. What would your move have been? If he had done that to me? Yeah. I think you're going down. Shoving the business end of the pickleball racket up his ass. What are you doing? You're fighting me now. Sure. You know what I mean?
Sure. No. No. For sure not.
I like the unwritten rules. I like the unwritten rules, and I like people who abide by them. I think that society breaks down when people take liberties and say that, well, all these people are obeying by the social contract. Yeah. But therefore, I'm going to take advantage of these sheep who are just following along.
Yeah, that's where I trust the quality of produce and fish to be.
You like the cod? I like the cod. I do a Mediterranean preparation with dill, blistered tomatoes, and some garlic. And it's, yeah, a nice spice rub. Slip it out of my seat. It's pretty easy. Do you have an air fryer?
That's so good. And it kills it. So good. You do a nice salmon with a nice rub and then a little hot honey drizzle on top. Watch out. How often are you cleaning that air fryer? I put it in the dishwasher. After he chews? My tray is, yeah. Yeah, especially fish. Oh, man, you do not want to eat out of my air fryer.
I cannot go to bed without the kitchen being spotless. Really? Yeah. Again, these are fucking manifestations of probably loneliness. Shit.
Yeah. I can let it ride.
Really quick. Oh, yeah. You want to talk about salmon? Whole Foods now has this EU organic salmon. It's farm raised, but it's organic and it's cheaper. So what's the feed? I don't know what they're eating. Does it have the color of a wild caught? It looks nice. Huh? It looks nice. You know, you can't get the wild caught King, which is the creme de la creme. It's the paddle. Sure.
You can't get that fresh for most of the winter. That really has a small season. Right. And, um, they say it's not sustainably fished, you know? So I don't know what, but, but it's like also 34 bucks a pound. It's expensive. It's insane. It's a special treat fish. It's a trophy fish. An STF. I only buy it if I've won a trophy. Which I've been killing it recently. Yeah.
But there's a couple steps down. You could go sockeye or coho. Sockeye. Very lean. Very lean. Hard to cook because they're so lean. They just get very dry very quickly. But then there's your nice farm-raised whatever. Atlantic salmon. Yeah. That's fine. That's fine. Is it? I thought that was real bad for you. Who knows, man? Who knows? Because of the feed they put in. I tell you what.
They're all living together. If your vice was that every night you were eating farm-raised salmon, you could probably stop getting those rosuvastatin refills pretty soon. Tell you what, I just can't get enough of it. I know it's killing me. I'm a grass-fed kind of man. I know the problem is the farm-raised Atlantic salmon I eat every night.
I've never heard anyone call it matcha tea, though. Really?
