Endlich macht unser Nemo Boards Shop dadurch auch auf den Mobilgeräten eine gute Figur. Und die Illustrationen auf den Boards kommen jetzt viel, viel klarer rüber, was uns ja auch wichtig ist und was unsere Marke auch ausmacht.

Im Sommer 2006 habe ich einen Anruf bekommen, in dem jemand in New York City sagte, dass sie Brooke Henson nennen würde.

Aufgrund der Polizei gibt es noch keine Beweise.

Etwas muss gemacht werden, um zu finden, was passiert ist. Jemand muss voran kommen.

Was ist der Name deines Bruders bester Freundes? Was ist dein letzter Onkels erster Name? Und so weiter.

So I really had hope then.

Absolutely, positively, she is not Brooke Henson.

I started thinking either she had something to do with Brooke's disappearance or she knew somebody who was involved in it.

I don't think she ever considered anybody that this would affect.

Laura's daughter's testimony herself was just something that I'll never forget. Talking and crying about what happened to her and how brutal and vile and disgusting it was.

An Amber Alert has been issued for a girl abducted in Boston. Police say she may have been taken by her father.

It all happened so fast at Marlboro and Arlington streets.

There's something that causes this truck to deaccelerate very quickly, correct? Correct.

That's wild.

That's a palm mark.

Love you, boys.

Rain Man, David Sackler.

R.I.P. Patricia Dillon. Of course. Yes. That's okay. Sure. Sure. Is it the best way to phrase it? Maybe not. But it was her belief system. That's what she believed in.

Never a winner. Never a winner. She didn't win much. Her and her friend Dennis, my father, Dennis was the guy who rented a room in her house. He used to drive up to Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, and they would never win.

Well, sometimes they'd stay in their van. She had a big Econoline van, and they wouldn't spend the money on a room. They'd go, let's skip it. Crash in a van. Well, crash in a van, and then just spend more money. We'll try to get them next time. Get them tomorrow. Get them next time. Yeah.

Yeah.

The year is 2004.

We're walking around. Sure, we've been to Spencer's Gifts. We've sat in the sharper image. We've been massaged, okay? We've walked around. We've stumbled into... You've entered to win the car. Aeropostale. We've walked by the models at Abercrombie & Fitch.

Now it's time for a sample of bourbon chicken. Just to wet the whistle. Settle into a Ranch One chicken and cheese, which Ranch One was a great mall chicken sandwich. Look up Ranch One.

Chicken and cheese, okay?

Yeah, Ranch One was a Long Island thing, and they had a lot of great chicken sandwiches, but they were all over the tri-state. Okay.

Yeah, those things were around. But here's the reality. Here's where... We really went, if we were at the mall and we were not doing food court, because a lot of times we would do food court, which could be whatever. But if we weren't at the mall, we would go to the Cheesecake Factory. The Cheesecake Factory for us symbolized the promises that this country kept. 2004, wow. You're an early adopter.

Early adopter of the Cheesecake Factory. Wow. I must have went for the first time probably about five years ago. I forget when we started going, but we were young. Wow. We were kids. Man.

What's the order there? Then and then now.

I mean, the Cheesecake Factory, when we first started going, we were young people. I think we were getting, you know, they had Casey Diaz. They had- a great burger with French potato chips on it. Crispy onions. Yeah, with crispy onions. They had, you know, all kinds of different shit. They had a salmon that was crusted with herbs and a lemon butter sauce if you wanted to feel cool. Yes.

You would try to get maybe a little bit of a salmon. A little macadamia crust. A little macadamia. One time, me and my friend Ryan were at the mall. We went to this restaurant. We're drinking apple martinis, getting hammered. We're in 11th grade. You have fake IDs. Not at the Cheesecake Factory, but at this other place. His father came and picked us up. We get in the car. We're hammered.

His father goes, I know you're both drunk. And he goes, your mother's going to kill you. Because we're just breathing fire. Appletinis. Appletinis, just fire, right? And he goes, your mother's going to kill you. He goes, when you go in, just walk right to your room. Don't even speak to your mother. Don't say anything.

And we walked in, and we just went right downstairs and just kind of sat there, just hammered. But that was the fun of going out when you were younger is trying to get do the fake ideas work and let's get fucked up. Yeah. On Apple TV.

We were just like, because the waitress literally said our special is an apple martini. And we were too nervous to order anything.

Keep them coming.

Yeah. Well, because the other thing, it, like, breaks. It's, like, one by one.

It's terrible.

And I really try not to use the bathroom publicly if possible. Interesting. Yeah, because it's terrible now.

Bathrooms have declined.

Yes. I'll try to go to a bathroom that isn't local.

I think you have to use it, and I think people know that. And that's just the way it is.

No, you can use any bathroom you want. Really? Yeah, you could use any bathroom you want.

I think it's the right thing to do. I respect that. I think it's the right thing to do.

Okay. Yeah. All right. I think you could use the one by the kitchen, too. That's to help. That's the help in there. They deal with that. They got to deal with that. They got to go. Some guy just came in and took a shit all over this salad. Somebody let a bear in here? Hey, you're the help. I'll explain it to them. I go, listen, I had a lot of shitty jobs. You're in the middle of one of them.

Yeah. They'll go, some guy just shit all over everything. I'll go, well, get the sorbet and head on out of there.

Yeah.

No, I don't think so. We never coordinated our clothing with each other. Yeah.

My family has the same expression on their face on every family photo, and it's this. Oh, we're doing this. I guess we're a family. I guess that's what they call this for tax purposes. Sure. I guess for tax purposes, this fat woman and her child will be in my photo. I also make no money. You know what I mean? Like, I also have nothing. You just didn't have a lot of money.

When you grow up and you don't have a lot of stuff, there wasn't a ton to celebrate. You know what I mean? It wasn't like I was a pride of the family. I was on a swim team, okay? I didn't exactly earn a gold medal, okay? Every moment growing up with me was utter shame. Mm-hmm. The best case scenario is I got caught smoking somewhere. They'd go, thank God, he's doing something.

At least he can do that well.

I come from a long line of fat lifeguards. It's actually the most discriminated group. I don't really want to hear anything about, I don't know, trans people or Filipinos. Who's ever screaming out there? You put a whistle on and you're overweight and you get out there on the deck. People... Your authority.

I'll tell you right now, you don't have a ton of authority being a fat lifeguard, but you have to be, and you have to fight harder for it.

You have to fight harder for it, like the Ukraine.

First concert, Whitney Houston in... Whoa. I was eight years old, and we went to Radio City. It was Christmas week. She was there. It was a great concert.

She showed up an hour late. Sure. She was having fun. And she showed up an hour late, but she killed it. That was back when the crack wasn't affecting the performance. It was probably amping it up a little bit. It was heightening it.

She was really getting... You know, like, she was in it. Hitting his own. But she showed up an hour late. People were angry, but I was eight years old. Went to one of my uncle's restaurants. Nice, and... It was like a nice family thing.

Because she was singing like the family, you know what I mean?

And she was like the most wholesome thing happening. It was all over the radio at the time. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, she was killing it. She's still one of the greatest singers ever. The best. Maybe the best ever. Yeah. And she killed it. She was a little late.

And she said something. She goes, don't read what you're reading in the tabloids about me and my husband. Everything's fine. And everyone clapped. And my father went, you tell him. My father literally was sitting next to me. He goes, you tell him, Whitney. He literally said, she goes, don't, she was clearly on crack. She goes, they're reading this with their husband and the tabloids.

Tootie's doing that medical ketamine though, right?

We're doing fine. Don't read, don't care about it, what people are saying. And my dad goes, you tell them, Whitney. Clearly on crack.

It was recommended to her.

Well, here's the thing. It started at Pizza Hut. We went. Here's the deal. The Pizza Hut had a lunch buffet. It was $6. We've talked about this. Their heyday was their heyday. They had dessert pizzas. They had the cherry one. They had the apple one. Pizza Hut had the stuffed crust. It was Pizza Hut's game to lose in this country.

F and lost it. They fucking lost it. And then I switched over to Domino's in about eighth grade. Good. And I haven't looked back. Flirted with Papa John's. Never did it for you. Uncomfortable with the racism.

It's PTSD. She's in a hot tub right now.

The thing with Papa John's is the bread, it's like this weird, like, it feels like the sauce is a little tangy. Also, it doesn't feel like pizza. It's like a pastry.

It's a little puffy. It's like, oh, a pastry.

If you do a nice, you go from a Domino's wing. Okay. My go-to with Domino's is I like a pepper and onion. I like a green pepper and onion pie. You know what I mean? Get the veggies out. Let's take care of ourselves. Sure. Let's treat ourselves, but also take care of ourselves.

Here for a good time and a long time.

Absolutely. And you go from a nice that, but here's the thing. Domino's used to have a thing called Twisty Bread. Sure. What am I, an asshole? Before, and it was just this bread that was like this garlicky bread that sat with like this herb oil mixture, and it was great. Yeah. Delicious. It was like a big garlic knot, and it went away. It went the way of the dodo.

They go, I got PTSD. I'm doing ketamine. They go, from what? You've never served in a war.

It gets a little bit of it, but you know what it is? The garlic knot isn't always executed well. I agree.

They sit out a lot. They sit out. Yeah, they sit a lot. Got to do them fresh. Make fresh knots. You just got out of jail. Be happy. You're free.

Have a little pride. You just got out of prison. Have a knot. You're on work release. Okay.

No, because my mother and father hated each other. So she didn't really like to be in the same room with him. Uh-huh.

There was no show that was more powerful than that. Me and him would watch all kinds of shit. You know, every now and then, maybe there'd be a movie on that we'd all try to get through.

Because during one of the breaks, my mother would go, by the way, how are we going to pay the bills this month? We don't have any money. You're a loser. And I'd go, hey, can we just finish The Golden Child?

I'd really like to see the end of The Golden Child before you two start screaming at each other's faces. I'd like to finish the end of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, if that's possible.

Both of you are not educated, and you've done nothing for this family. Sure. Yeah. I know it's a blame game.

We started buying lunch. We started packing lunch. You know, here's the thing. The perfect example of my family is, like, my father, we went, we, like, there's a boardwalk, a town over from mine. It's, like, two miles. One morning, my father gets me out of bed like he's mad. He goes, get over here. Get up. Get in the car. I go, okay. We go down to the boardwalk.

He goes, we're going to do jog a block, walk a block, and we're going to get in fucking shape. I was like, you know, I was like... Seventh grade, like a little pudgy kid. I'm like, all right, let's do it. So we did that. And then at the end of the day, he goes, we're doing this every morning. We never did it again.

It never happened again. So that was like with the lunch thing. They'd go like this. They'd go, you're bringing lunch. Then laziness hits them. We're bringing lunch. We're not doing this bullshit. Third day, they're like, here's $3. You get out of here.

It's pizza day.

Well, that's very sweet of you. I didn't want to come back because we had such a killer one.

My school lunch favorite, you do a fish stick, you do a tater tot, and a little canned string bean. You do a hot dog, you do beans, a little sauerkraut, okay? You do some chicken nuggets, you do french fries, you do a little corn. I've never heard anybody like the vegetables.

They're very good.

Friday's pizza day. Sure. Nice pizza. Every now and then, there'd be like, and then we, you know, for a while there in seventh and eighth grade, we actually had a little frozen yogurt machine, a little fro-yo. No kidding. And this is a true story. There was a, you were allowed one little cup of sprinkles with the yogurt. I took a bunch of sprinkles.

And the woman said to me, you're not allowed to take them. She was like a woman from like, what, Eastern Europe? And I told her, and again, I'm not saying this is the way to act. I was in eighth grade. Don't try this at home, kids. And she said, you cannot have this thing. And I went, hey, hey, hey, shut up.

I knew that's what you were doing. I was like, it's been so good that you didn't want to come back and spoil it. Because that was the number one one for a long time.

I told her, shut up. She's from Eastern Europe. I don't know where she was from. Maybe the Balkans. Shut up. Could have been Delaware. She really had a hard life. And I just said, shut up. And she started crying like I've never seen a human being cry. She started bawling like I had told her that her kids had died. I said, shut up. And she said, no! And she just started crying.

And she went to the principal. And she went to the principal. And I had to sit... In the principal's office. My head hurts. While he called my mother and father. And he finally got my mother. And he goes, is this Mrs. Dillon? And she said, yeah. And he goes, he just told one of the lunch aides to shut up. And she goes, I cannot believe he said that.

And he goes, he stole sprinkles from the frozen yogurt. And she's told him he was not allowed to have them. And he told her to shut up. And then I went back to my house, and my mother said, you never say a word like that again. I can't believe you said that. And she goes, now what is this about the sprinkles? I said, they give you one cup of sprinkles for the yogurt. She goes, that is ridiculous.

That's absurd.

Yeah.

Ooh, the fall.

It's called the fall. Honey Nut Cheerios. Gentlemen. Apple Jacks. I'd fight with her because I wanted Lucky Charms, but she didn't want it. She didn't like some of these things. They had yellow dye number three in them. But I'll tell you right now, just for a little segue here for cereal, a Corn Pop. Of course. A nice Corn Pop. A Count Chocula. Really? Really. Yeah. Wow. Cookie Crisp.

That's what you were getting? These were the fantasy items. I didn't get them because my mother was being a bitch.

Waffle Crisp. Yeah. All of these things I wanted, but the kids who had, there was this kid, Ryan. They were all named Ryan. What the fuck? I'm just saying. His parents were alcoholic drunks. And they hung out at a bar called the Shamrock. And before we went into his house, he'd go, my house is really dirty. He was real embarrassed about his house. Okay.

He lived by a bar called the Little Red Choo Choo. But his parents got into an altercation at the Choo Choo and they were only served at the Shamrock.

This is all true.

It's Isle of Park, New York. Someone in the comments will go, this is all. I don't have this imagination.

You walk in, Timmy, you know you're not allowed here.

The kid Ryan would go, my parents, they're not allowed at the Choo Choo. And so what happened was we would go to his house and he had the good stuff.

He had the king for me was always Lucky Charms. That was the best. And he had it. And we would go over there and we'd eat Lucky Charms with him and his parents would be passed out.

You know, I mean.

Because they drank all night Yeah And they'd sleep all day And every now and then We'd go into his house And he'd have like a black eye Because it was sad He fell down the stairs It was really sad Yeah And he'd have a black eye And then he'd go Yeah man My house is really dirty And it was tough It was really really hard He had a hard life Yeah And it says a lot Do you stay in touch with him?

Still got that good cereal? You know, it was eye-opening for me to see the struggles.

Be happy with your cornflakes. At the end of the day, I did enjoy that cereal, and we were making his life better by going. I agree. Because a lot of kids felt bad hanging out there.

Let me tell you right now, when you get out of a black car and you walk into a DXL, it cancels out. When you pull up in a black car and you walk into a DXL, it really does even out in a negative way. Where do you go?

They'd buy a Rice Krispie or a Corn Flake. They thought they were doing the right thing. Would you doctor that up with a little sugar, a little banana? You would hit it with a little cane, a little raw cane sugar. My grandfather would hit it, too. Some bananas on a Corn Flake, you hit with a little sugar. I like Special K. Special K is not bad. I love Special K. Special K is not that bad.

What about a bugle? I like a bugle. My grandmother loved a bugle with three doers on a rocks and a bugle. A bugle kicker? Three doers on a rocks and a bowl of bugles. She was off to the races. A little BBC British crime drama, a couple of bugles.

We didn't really have a bowl of nuts.

Every now and then, we didn't have anything for anyone. It was not like the house where it was like, oh, you're here, have some of this. Okay. We didn't really have any of that. Around Easter, we'd have maybe a bowl of candy. Or around, like, Christmas, we might have some Christmas M&Ms out.

No, they just sat on the table. The bushel sat on the kitchen table. Yeah.

I mean, yeah. It was, you know.

We had rackets. We played. We tried to play a little bit. That's another thing. My dad would be like, we're going to make him into a tennis player. We'll make him into an actor. He'll be a swimmer. And then you know what I end up being? A cocaine addict. So really what they ended up doing was just making me into a cocaine addict.

A closeted gay cocaine addict who enthusiastically supported the Iraq war. That's a mix.

So, you know, they didn't really hit the – it was a moving target. Sure.

Mark Spitz. He was an Olympic swimmer.

Mark Spitz. He came because my mom was a swim coach and I was on the swim team. Pretty good. I think I said to him, I'm like, you do butterfly, I do butterfly. I'd love to be in the Olympics. I think he's like, all right, get away from me. He's gremlin away from me. Kids going through my pockets. You like Lucky Charms? He's like, if you're taking this so seriously, why are you smoking a cigarette?

Why are you smoking in a pool? You're in the pool. I like Newports. They raise your high 15%. Did you know that? Mark Spitz, Olympic swimmer. They kick your high up about 15%.

There's no other ones.

No. Okay. Always had a car. I took the bus. I didn't always have a car, but I never worked close enough to my house. I took a bus. You took a public bus in the suburbs? I took a public bus all the time. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's crazy.

That's the only one. That Indian woman? Yes. She's a good woman. Yeah, she's great. She's a good woman. Woo! My guy Angel down there. Yeah, I know him, too.

You're still in the suburbs. You're still in the suburbs, but here's the deal. Nobody on the bus. It's not a good scene. No one's killing it. It's not a good scene. It's a bunch of guys who had deweys and all that. It's been some old people.

What did Hillary say? Basket of deplorables?

But have you ever been on the other side of that? Yeah, I was told many times they were closing my account. Many times I'd walk in and they'd go, you haven't made a payment in three months. And I'd sit there and I'd go, there's something wrong. I've been embarrassed in banks, shamed rather. I mean, I lost a house. My house was more closed. I had no credit for years. And I'd go to the bank.

I always had like an ill-fitting suit. And I'd sit down and they'd go... Mr. Dillon, you can't even – your account was closed. And I'd always be – I'd always make – sell a mortgage after three months of earning no money. And I'd go – I'd get a deposit or check. They'd go, your account's closed and we can't reopen it. You've got to settle up. You owe us like $600 or something.

And I'd just quietly put the check back in my thing. I'd go – I'll see you. I'll get on that.

I'll get on that. And then she goes, you can pay it out of your check. I go, yeah, yeah. And then I go to the check cashing place and then put the cash right in the pocket. I love a check cashing. I love a check cashing.

I need it now. I go right to the Imperial Diner and live like a person. Gentlemen. I love it.

That's right. That's a last stop before you get deported. Then you work at that store. You clothe fat people, and then you go to that prison in El Salvador.

If I'm really going to hell with myself, he might have to set it up. There's a team out there. He might have to set it up. Are we doing anything table side? It really depends on what's coming in. Is there a Hawaiian fire dancer? Is there a Hawaiian fire dancer going to come in and announce the food? They're making the guacamole table.

If I just did a breakfast burrito, I'll just take it from them at the door. If they send in a Hawaiian fire dancer and they got a pig on his bed.

If they're making waffles and stuff, if we're getting into it and having fun, I might have three or four of them in a room for the duration of the meal.

No, no, no. By the way, I actually would like to just go in and make a waffle and leave. I don't want to stay there, but I like that process. Yes. I like spraying it down with Pam. I like spraying it with a chemical Pam.

I like putting the waffle. And you know what they do? They measure out how much you need for the waffle. You don't have to think about it. You don't have to think about it. But I go, let's do a little extra. I like to see it drip out.

And then you turn it around. But that was my favorite thing as a kid, the Marriott breakfast buffet. Me and my mother, because she hated my father, would take me to the Marriott breakfast buffet. We'd sit there. We'd eat for two and a half hours and then go to sleep for the whole day.

No, because they had breakfast buffet. So we would just drive 40 minutes from my house to the Marriott, and we'd have the Marriott breakfast buffet. And my father would stay home and watch Hercules and then Xena Warrior Princess. Which were the offerings on WPIX 11.

Lucy Lawless, Kevin Sorbo. Cash cows.

It was the same scene, just a bunch of guys with jugs and a thing having fights.

You can't take it all away. You got to give him something. You got to give him something. You don't get a lot here, but you do get a nice hot waffle.

You get a hot waffle.

Well, you don't. You're not getting health care.

Make your own waffle.

Let's see where you're at. I'm surprised because I think I might be right back on Trash-O-Meter.

To me, it was called hamburger meat while I was growing up. And then it became ground beef.

My grandmother liked an 80-20. I still like an 80-20. You need 20 fat in there.

Milk-wise, I'm sure we've answered this, but let's just run back. It's whole all day. Well, for sure, but here's the reality. We had a lot of options. We had 1%, 2%, because that's the idea of like, hey, it's good for you. It's good for you.

Yeah, the outdoors. Not an indoor pool. We won't do an indoor hotel pool. Really? Those are my favorites. Google it and hit news. You'll get things you didn't know you could get.

You'll get amoebas crawling into orifices. The inside the hotel pool worries me a little bit. Outdoors, we hope it's adequately chlorinated.

I get a little nervous in the indoor pool. Okay. Unless it's like connected to a rec center or college or something. Sure. But if we're talking just a little dumpy, real pool, you open it up, it's real hot in there.

Flexing. I never did that. I never took a picture with money. I think I took a picture once with a check I got from my communion. I think it was a $1,000 check my grandparents gave me. Was it one of the big ones? No, it was a little check, and then my parents stole it and took the money. Yeah, they did everybody. They stole the...

Jewish kids for their bar mitzvahs get thousands and thousands of dollars.

I don't know one Catholic that ever got a nickel of their communion money, myself included. I got maybe $1,200 altogether. People gave you $150, whatever. Never saw it. Never saw it. Never saw it.

Number one, I actually have a card. It's probably a black card. I was given for my birthday a Carvel gift card. And they don't like that in Carvel. A lot of Carvels in Long Island are run by the Asian community. They're a very business savvy, smart community. And they don't like a gift card. They don't respect it. They don't give it the way it should.

Yeah, it was never. They stole it and they paid the bills with it.

They put the lights on.

Do I see the maid?

So where am I leaving this magic money for the maid? On the dresser. Do you think the maid's getting that money? Who do you think's getting the money? Anybody. You don't leave cash? You leave cash for maid you haven't seen. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Oh, you're getting beat. First of all, it won't even be the maid that does your room. It's going to be another maid. Do you understand what I mean?

So the maid who worked her ass off has already left. She's at her house sleeping. You leave cash.

The guy who refills the minibar just took that money. There's three or four people in that room. Somebody's getting that money. I will give them a cash if I see her. I'll give her a 50 or 100 if I see her. Whoa. If I don't see her, then you know someone else is taking that money. Okay. Yeah. Listen, I'm not pushing back on that. I'm telling you the way the world works.

They're taking the money.

By the way, also- Hotel staff will do a room check to see if the room's been cleaned. They take the money. They all take the money.

Okay. So guess what? Very smart. I keep the money. I give it to a charity for what he hears. Who was not on crack cocaine.

Romantic, beautiful. You see the whole thing.

That's a nice thing to do.

It's a nice thing to, really.

It's a nice thing to do to hit everybody like that. Okay. You know, you hit them like that for a little bit. I stopped hitting everybody. Can't hit everybody. Can't hit everybody. I hit a valet nice.

You were nice enough to take us out to— I tip a lot at a restaurant.

I tip a lot of money at a restaurant. But I can't tip everybody. Sure. Understandable.

I'm nice to everybody. I'm nice to everyone in a job like that. And if you're not, you're a monster. Sure. You know what I mean? Unless they wronged me.

Don't give them enough sprinkles. They wronged me. They took the car the other day. They said they detailed it. They didn't.

So I went on a podcast and lit them up. I told anyone in the area to go by and shoot them in the head. I said, if you're in that area, go kill one of them. No, I'm kidding. The Beverly Hills Hotel, they apologized to me. They go, we're sorry. We did beat you. I said, I paid $400. You said you detailed it. It's not detailed. It looks like shit. That's a service that a valet will do.

So they really do, when you present the gift card, they flop some sprinkles on. They don't do it the way they should. But the last time I've had one, the other day I door dashed a Carvel to the house.

That's crazy. Pablo at the Beverly Hills Hotel, who's class. Handled it.

Were you going to stay at the hotel or just having lunch? I was staying. Well, what time was it? Which time? When they detail your car. You had it detailed. I was staying there.

So I stay there and they. Well, they fucked me over. Well, they didn't do it, but they didn't do it. And then they realize they go, yeah, they're scuffed. Marx is bad shit. I don't want to get that done at a hotel. Yeah, if they. But, you know, you got to be careful, but they're good. They're actually great people. It's the best hotel in the country. They're great people.

Great chicken and the great chicken fingers. And, you know, it's killer all around there.

I think it's top three. No kidding. Yeah. Wow. It's amazing.

It's great. You can feel good there. Food's good. The service is great. I also love it because, you know, go to Comedy Story. Like, it's, you know, it's things I do are around there.

Either the Mark on 77th and Madison or Casa Cipriani, which is downtown by the Staten Island Ferry.

An ambulance. I'm staying in an ambulance. I stayed the four seasons. Okay, very nice.

Yeah, I get in the first class. I'm sitting there in first class. Grace O'Malley slides in next to me. She goes, I'm next to you in first class. I go, great. I said to the person, I go, how about a rack of lamb while we wait? They go, they're doing some, they got to count the baggage by hand. I said, let's get the bread pudding. Let's get the bread pudding going for me and Grace here.

We're going to sit here for an hour. I'm not sitting here for our health.

I used to, but now I just lay it on the thing, and it's actually more disgusting. But I do have a cup in Manhattan at the thing. Yeah, to put the toothpaste and all that. I was thinking to drink out of. Oh, interesting. I'm such a garbage person. I will put the tooth thing so it doesn't lay on the thing.

No, because I always fuck it up.

Well, it probably is gross, but I also can't do it. Okay. I respect that. Okay.

No, sometimes I do. Will you Uber eat something? Taco Bell is the move. Uber eats Taco Bell. After a show, you get a Taco Bell. You get a Taco Bell for the openers for yourself.

The last thing. I'll just go. Can I go to door dash?

I've stayed away from the cantina items. I like the Mexican pizza, chicken quesadilla. I love a cheese gordita crunch. Of course. I'll play around with an enchilada burrito every now and then, or I'll do whatever. Maybe I'll do a spicy bean and cheese, whatever. But to me, what needs to come back is a Taco Bell grilled stuffed burrito from the 90s. I agree. Let me explain to you why.

Because it was a tortilla. It was the original grilled stuffed burrito. Beef. They added the creamy Baja sauce, which they no longer have. You had a three cheese blend. You had Taco Bell salsa in it. Okay. And it was, they grilled the shit out of it and refried beans. They grilled the shit out of it back then. It was a brick. I love that. You would get a brick, okay?

It was not a shake. It was just a vanilla with crunchies, cookie dough, and fudge. Wow. I mean, that guy's doing it right.

You'd get a brick, and it wasn't too complicated. Get the lettuce and the tomato out of this shit.

Are you out of your fucking mind? I want the creamy... The creamy Baja sauce is actually a creamy pepper jack sauce. It's a creamy pepper jack sauce.

It's actually out of fucking control. It's a creamy pepper jack sauce. It's the beans, the way you had a brick in your hand. And you'd eat it and it was just spicy enough, just creamy enough. But it didn't have this garbage where you open the brick. Now at Taco Bell you get a burrito sometimes. You open it up and go, what am I looking at? All you just saw then was brown. Just brown.

It was punctuated by a little bit of goo, and it was just perfect. And the heat level, the crispiness of the tortilla, and then you bite into it, and there was so much. It was like eating like a plaster that they had made. Have you ever seen cement? It was eating a cement, but it was punctuated by a creamy pepper jack, the Baja sauce, and kind of the pico de gallo, and so there was a spice to it.

You know, I got to be honest, I New York right now is a lot of there. A lot of people go to these places where they're like Instagram me. It's Instagram me. And they're like, hey, we got a French dip or we get this. We get that. Look, it's a grown up Totino's piece to roll. But then you pay 70 bucks. You do feel like you're getting you're getting banged over the head for no reason.

That's crazy. They bring it right to the condo. You got a Bentley, and you're DoorDashing Carvel. I love it. I mean, you know, what am I going to do? Buy a Carvel?

Um, I still think the best things in New York are, like, I said it on Stavi's pod, like, you go out to Randazzo's Clan Bar and Sheep's at Bay, calamari with a big ladle of red sauce on it. Sure. You know, you go do a good pizza at, you know, your Pizza Suprema 32nd and 8th. Mm-hmm. You'll order a New York-style pizza. Know it very well. You know, I think people overthink it here.

There's obviously great restaurants here and everything like that, but I'm about to go out east for the summer, and then I'm into, like, just fish, you know, fried clam strips. Living on the island. Lobster roll. Get a lobster salad. You put it in a Martin's potato roll.

I have not, sadly. Here's what I will tell you. I was buying Vicodin with a secretary. She's sitting in the front row, larger woman. I make a left from the right lane to go into a Capital One so she can get her money out. This was many, many years ago. We get hit head on. A grandmother and her family, I hit them head on. Her head bounces off the glove box.

She has a big baseball-sized knot filling with blood on her head. The grandma and the kids are all taken to the hospital. Needless to say, there's no Vicodin. But that's as close as we got to the Capital One. A head-on collision. Head-on. The car Pepsi canned and everything. Because we like to take Vicodin while we sat in the office. It was nothing to do.

You should open up a franchise. I should open up a franchise. We'll call Jason. Can I open a franchise up? So I'll tell you right now, I'll go to DoorDash, and I'll go to my last order. Mm-hmm.

We would just sit there, itch ourselves, and... And order food.

It gets you in the mood to take a sales call and go like this. Somebody go, I don't want it. You go, all right.

Do you chew your ice? My grandmother loved to chew ice. It's one of my memories of her. She loved to chew ice. She loved to chew ice. You? I'm not a huge chewing.

I'll break it in half and then spit half back in. I don't let it beat me. Very interesting.

Always water. Just water. I'm a water guy.

know i'm usually not digging the bell okay i'm usually not digging the respect it how do you feel as a whole about its rise about its popularity about its existence really of the birthday cake flavor well let me go into this actually because i'm happy you asked this my thoughts on this are evolving Really? Yes.

Early on, when birthday cake flavor was introduced, let's be honest, before 2010, no one had heard of it. We're talking about the early aughts here. The birthday cake flavor is introduced. The earliest and most mainstream application of this flavor was something called birthday cake remix from Cold Stone Creamery.

Cold Stone Creamery introduces this flavor in 2010. There's a mortgage crisis. People are suffering. They're losing their homes. They're lining up. The Cold Stone employees are singing. They're making ice cream. Many of them are on pills, and they can't see their children unless there's a police officer present. The birthday cake flavor comes in to make everything a party. Nothing's a party.

When I'm not cooking. But you know me, I'm cooking most nights.

Nothing's a party, okay? Oh, you thought you're going to retire with the equity in this house? Now you're living in an apartment again. Nothing's a party. Here comes a birthday cake flavor. Oh, there's sprinkles in it. Is it your birthday? No, I'm actually living in hell. So this flavor comes in. Then everybody gets it. It gets cheap. I don't like it anymore. It feels very chemical.

I don't like the birthday cake flavor. I've turned on it completely. Okay. And I really am disappointed. By the way, you know what else this happened to? Because we can't have nice things.

everything became about salted caramel and what happened was what was a really awesome thing got watered down bastardized and now it sucks a lot of the salted caramel things you have suck some of them are good but a lot of them suck because everybody went hard into this flavor we get obsessed with these s'mores everything but became about s'mores and then it became like what is this you know it just it gets ruined what are your thoughts on the everything bagel seasoning

I like it, but I also think that it's like, you know, to me, it's like, I want a bagel.

I want a bagel.

I want a bagel, and to me, it's like, I don't like half measures.

No, you know, I'm doing a lot. Unfortunately, it's a lot. In New York City, you know, it's a lot.

He's going back. BK for life. 122. BK for life, 122. Is that Brooklyn or Burger King? It was a play on things because I used to argue, and I still will argue this, that the Burger King French toast stick was one of the most influential things I've ever had in my life. It changed my life. The Burger King French Toast Stick.

Because the McGriddle does not run. No. The Burger King French Toast Stick doesn't walk.

And here's the thing. Burger King has fallen far. But there was a time when it was a nice time. Because you had a crinkle-cut pickle. McDonald's had a regular pickle. They were contending. They had a crinkle-cut pickle at Burger King. You had a flame-broiled Whopper at Burger King. There was a time when Burger King was in the game. It is not in the game right now, and it is a fucking tragedy.

I have. I make some scrambled eggs are good. I make some, you know, I'll do a every now and then I'll do like a, you know, kind of stir fry. Okay.

Because we need the underdog to thrive. We need the underdog to thrive in this country. Was Burger King my favorite? Absolutely not, but did... Was there a time when it was hot?

Was someone mad at that? Was someone mad at that? When the chicken fry hit, it was all right. It was all right. I actually think they were the times with the most racial harmony as well. Of course. You know what? I agree. We were united. I agree. So that to me is a sad story. Pizza is a sad story. These are sad stories. Sad stories. But we could get it back.

No, for life. Get it back. For life. But guess what? Not for life now.

What is the biggest disappointment fast food wise? I'll tell you right now.

I'll tell you right now. What'd you say? No, please. Because I was going to agree with you. I thought you said the thing I was going to say. The biggest fall that has ever happened in this country. From a restaurant that was one of the greats to something that is now nothing, and that is Wendy's. Wendy's in the 90s was the premier. You would go there and have a burger that was amazing.

It was a square patty. You'd get a gold wrapper, Monterey Ranch chicken sandwich, bacon in the ranch, fresh, never frozen, a salad bar that included chocolate pudding and slices of pineapple. How about you go fuck yourself? And this was, you would leave your job, maybe at a debt collection agency or at the rec center. You'd go in there and you'd put a feed bag on, oh, a chili baked potato?

Maybe I will stay married. And now it is hell. You would get a salad there with bacon, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing, croutons. You'd pile it high. I mean, the steakhouse bacon cheeseburger at Wendy's, the Monterey Ranch chicken sandwich at Wendy's. Wendy's was amazing, and it has fallen far. Shame.

I ordered meatballs and I ordered a ricotta agnolotti. from Bar Preemie with vodka sauce. I know Bar Preemie. That was my last hurrah.

And it worked. They did things. Dave Thomas. Now you go into Wendy's and everyone's confused. It's everyone's confused. It's some Norwegian who just got off a plane and they don't know what's happening. No one is excited at a Wendy. It's just kids go in there to film fights. They go in there to curb stomp a bitch and film it. That is all Wendy's are used for.

Now they're used for inner city fights and they know it. They go, that's the only reason we exist is for inner city. Tick tock brawls.

What else could we say?

I hope to God, I don't know if we'll get past the first because the first is a special time, but this is also a special time. And my hope is that it goes big.

And let me make one food prediction before we leave. Please. Let me make one food prediction. I could be wrong on this, okay? I'm going to tell you right now, watch out for the return of Sherbert.

The return of Sherbert is, I'm telling you, we're going in an interesting direction now. Sherbert's coming back.

I don't know. I don't even want to picture it. One of my big things right now is I don't like the Italians on social media. There's too many Italians on social media. They're big on TikTok. I don't, these Italians to me are a problem and have to be watched. Yes. And part of the problem is like, we all grew up with this stuff, chicken parm and stuff.

They're acting like they're putting us on to sure. Penne alla vodka.

And we've been there. So to me, it's like annoying when a guy's like, Oh, meatball, mozzarella, chicken parm. And I go, Hey, Hey, Hey. I've been there.

We get it. It's cheese and pepper. We get it, and we've been doing it, and it's not a big deal. You're not breaking new ground.

We get it. So I... I got guanciale on me right now. Yeah, of course. You want a little speck? Please. I got speck. What are we doing? So to me, I get a little frustrated with it. And the vodka sauce now, like, to me, all these rubes moved to New York City. They're from Ohio, these rubes. And then they wait to get into a restaurant like Carbone. They have spicy rigatoni.

My friend's mother makes spicy rigatoni, too. She'll tell you the world's flat, and she'll talk a little bit about January 6th. But let me tell you right now, you want a spicy rigatoni, you'll get a spicy rigatoni, and she'll tell you a lot about Michelle Obama's cock.

I said they were a smart business community.

If I'm going, I'm usually bringing nothing. Let me tell you why. Okay.

It is the right answer because here's the thing. I'm going to a lot of these dinners as, look, a local pig. Sure. They're bringing me.

They're bringing me to the dinner party as a local curiosity. An animal you'd point out on a tour bus.

For example, this is a local pig who we've brought in here, and everybody kind of pets him. Get the kids. Take a photo. The yak woman canceled. So really, it's a curiosity. I'm a curiosity. So no one wants the curiosity to show up with anything because here's the deal. When you go to a dinner party, I think you're there. They want to do their thing.

They don't want to do a potluck.

But if I had to, a raspberry cream pie from Brian Muir Farms. Gentlemen. Which is great. It's a top-notch pie, Brian Muir Farms. They won't sponsor me. You've asked? I haven't asked, but we've, you know. You've plugged them enough, I'm sure. I wear their hat a lot of times. I've seen the hat.

White chocolate raspberry truffle. Oh, man. Yeah.

It's a great flavor.

And it allows you to feel a little festive. Yes, it does. There's something where you feel a little festive. I think, you know, here's the way I look at life now. You've got to have a little treat. You do. You do. You've got to have a little treat, and it has to be.

So it says cookie dough flavor and one gram of carb. I don't even know what these things mean anymore. One gram of this.

A little treat. Oh, pick me up. So I think when you have the white chocolate raspberry truffle, it's a little treat. I'm not being a gluttonous pig. I'm having a little treat. Yes, a little treat. That's the difference.

We had a caterer.

It was a little bit.

We hired this guy, this Italian chef from Instagram. This guy doesn't show up. He goes, I got food problems. He goes, I got a stomach problem. I have food poisoning. Chef, by the way.

Hey, this scumbag. So this piece of shit, in the morning of the thing, goes, I can't show up. But then other people came, and they did it. They did a great job.

We hired Arthur and Sons.

In conjunction with this guy, and they killed it.

And I think this year we're going to do something different. Every year we did traditional summer food the first year. Then we did Italian food the last year. It was like Italian. This year I'm thinking something different. I don't know what it is.

We're back there cranking heaters. You forget he's white trash until you see he's got a tattoo on his leg. It's not a good tattoo. And you go, oh, you're a garbage. You forget how garbage he is until you see that tattoo on a leg. Shin tattoo is a bad look. I don't know what we're going to do this year. I thought maybe sushi, but then that sits out in the sun. That's no good. That ain't good.

That ain't good. So I don't know. What's a good theme this year for the food? Interesting. That's pretty good. Pretty good. Because, you know.

Interesting. Like a Mediterranean thing. I don't know about that. That gets real sloppy. Yeah, that doesn't age as well.

Nobody's making out. Smells like a yellow cat. That gets real sloppy and heinous.

Do a pig. Now, by the way. That's good. I'm thinking of doing Polynesian poop poop platter.

Luau. We get pigs. We get pork. Kalua pork. A little poke bowl. Yeah. Some kimchi fried rice. That's pretty good. I know exactly the people that do it. There was this restaurant called the Hurricane Club in New York City, and they had these Peking duck sandwiches and coconut shrimp. I think we'd do a little tropical luau.

I like it.

That's right. Love a duck.

And I just give it to one of the caterers and say, take this to your family. Take this to your family. I give it to the I give the food to the people. I give it to the caterers. And I say, take this to your children.

I don't really fake a thank you.

It's a quick. It's not like. Somebody take this. It's not like, thanks so much. Oh, you went to a stop and shop? Yeah.

You got to go get. Here's the thing. I'm not turning down a pie. If you do something nice, somebody brought some nice Italian cookies. That's nice. Don't go to the grocery store. Don't get something at the grocery store.

They didn't even do that. Sure. They could have.

If they brought a themed sugar cookie, it's a different story. Okay. That's a novelty.

Yes, we've got to play the number. And no one has ever won a thing.

No one's won a goddamn thing. Now, did you have any heavy lottery people in the family growing up? We had a lot of heavy lottery people. My mother had a theory that the scratch-off, she said, we got to play scratch-offs in bad areas because you're more likely to win. And I said, why? She goes, because the government gives those people help every now and then with the scratch-offs.

And I said, well, Mom, that sounds very questionable. But again, remember, folks, it's 1998. My mother's doing the best she can. She had a mental illness.

Okay?

Well, sure, Dave. I think the character is kind of an extension of myself. Simply put, I live here underneath the bleachers, and I'll be interrupting the show from time to

Probably skinny midi. It's not easy memorizing, but...

And did he have brown hair, blonde hair, green hair? You don't remember? That's okay. Okay.

I'm thinking I'm saving him.

Right.

Not my movie, yes. So I just want to clarify.

It's gross. It was really gross.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yes.

Right.

please hey bunny gang so bunny donkey shlong video made me think of this i grew up in the suburbs but i married a cowboy rancher so i'm learning about the ranch life every day and one night we came in late from a horse show and it was cold so we were blanketing up all the horses and i was blanketing this old gildan and i reached down it was dark we didn't have the lights on in the barn you know so i reached down and grabbed reach for the belly strap to snap it and when i did

I ended up, you know, grabbing a handful of something I didn't want. And the scream, I scrunched, y'all. When I realized I didn't have a hold to that belly strap. And the way that horse looked at me, I felt so bad. I'd accidentally violated the poor bastard. Hell, I felt violated. And my husband come running in there. He said, what's wrong? What's wrong? I said, I just grabbed this horse's dick.

And he was like, what? Like, I guess he was just hanging out. And he was like, well, they do that when they're, you know, relaxed. And I was like, well, what the hell? So anyways, it was embarrassing and all that to say, make sure you've got lights on in the barn and, Make sure you always check before you reach and grab.

And to give you, like, some clarity on that, like, what is something, you know, you guys, like, wish would happen in rap that you feel like could actually still be possible?

At one point in time for me, it used to be the Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole project, but I know that's gone. But for me right now, I have to listen in to, like, this beautiful 2 Chainz and Larry Juna after this. I really want 2 Chainz to finally get that whole verse. So that is my rap wish upon a star. I want to hear what your opinions are or what y'all rap wish upon a stars are. Appreciate y'all.

We don't want to talk about Tartaria.

Come on, man. I don't know. They're trying to hide our pets. And why are the windows in the ground?

We don't want to know. You don't want to know.

What? It looks like Sauron, and Spud was like, if I had to look at that building every day, I would probably want to blow it up.

Okay. So that thing's been gone for a while.

I'm calling for a renewed focus on literacy and on the way we teach reading in the state of Ohio.

From the Fox News Podcast Network.

A true crime podcast.

To give a new perspective on the devastation crimes can cause. It was shocking for something like this to happen in our little town. Featuring cases from quiet towns to bustling cities and interviewing the people closest to the case.

Thank you.

That takes a different approach. It was shocking for something like this to happen in our little town. Focusing on the communities affected by life-shattering crimes.

So I'm not sure.

No, it's not easy, ma'am. It's not easy.

That part I have a problem with that statement, yes.

It's simple.

Let me just say this. This is not the tactic that I would use to try to solve the problem.

Ich bin Charissa und meine Empfehlung an alle Entrepreneure, startet mit Shopify erfolgreich durch. Ich verwende Shopify schon seit dem ersten Tag und die Plattform macht mir nie Probleme. Ich habe viele Probleme, aber die Plattform ist nie eins davon. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass Shopify ihre Plattform kontinuierlich optimiert. Alles ist super einfach, integrier- und verlinkbar.

Und die Zeit und das Geld, das ich dadurch spare, kann ich anderweitig investieren. Vor allem in Wachstum.

Yeah, who are you calling out? Name names.

Always.

John, I'm ready for my next binge session. Should I go Peaky Blinders or Severance?

You got some good accent work in. And it's going to come back.

Yeah. Yeah.

Everything about it.
