Episode 138: Mardis Gras PT 2

1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Hello, everybody.
Welcome back to Record My

2
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:13,880
father.
Today we're going to be talking

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,080
about Mardi Gras Part 2, what we
did for the rest of the Mardi

4
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:19,600
Gras.
I came up or I found an

5
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,000
interesting thing today that I
took a picture of about a lung

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,960
cancer screening program.
And the recommendations are

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,360
really you should get screened
if you were a 20 pack a year

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,800
smoker.
I don't know how many cigarettes

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,440
I ever kept track of in a year.
I don't know.

10
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,200
I don't know that, you know,
like, how do you know that?

11
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,200
I don't know if everybody's paid
attention to each individual

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,040
cigarette they've smoked in
their lives, but I think that

13
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,400
that's interesting, an
interesting life.

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,120
Yeah.
There are a multiple pack a day

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,200
smokers, you know.
So 2020, that's crazy a year,

16
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,720
right?
20 packs a year you should get.

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Screened you're between. 50 to
80. 400 cigarettes divided by

18
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,720
365 days.
That's about one cigarette a

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,600
day.
Really.

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,080
Oh gosh.
That's 20 pack a year well.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,560
That's what they say you should
get screened if your age is

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,680
between 50 to 80, but that's not
what we're talking about today.

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,000
We're talking about Mardi Gras
Part 2, so I remember not a lot

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240
about this trip.
I don't remember a lot about it.

25
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Where?
Where did we leave off?

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,000
I.
Just remember, don't go into the

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,120
bathroom.
And what was it?

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:31,920
The other one?
What was it?

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,080
The most infamous statement that
I made that you really, really

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,400
liked.
Do we talk about your phone

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,440
getting stolen?
Do we talk about that yet?

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,440
I don't think we did.
Was my phone stolen?

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,360
It was almost stolen, yeah.
Almost stolen, yeah.

34
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,320
We were walking down the street
the morning of Mardi Gras

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,160
morning.
Being kind of relative there,

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,400
we'd look for food.
I got to tell you, the food

37
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,760
there, socked really did not
find.

38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,920
We did not find any good food in
in Mardi Gras, Montreal and

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,680
Mardi Gras.
We went to a place called

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,920
Snappers where it was as if they
put the gumbo in their mouth and

41
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
then spit it into the bowl and
then served it to you and had

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,440
like this viscous liquid around
it.

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,880
That was very strange at least,
and that's what it seemed like.

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,800
And I'm glad I remember after
eating that I was like the.

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,960
Backwash of an oyster.
We're going to go drinking now.

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,880
That's what I thought to myself.
But apparently there's a lot of

47
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,160
good food there, but it's just
not in the French Quarter

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,800
because a lot of the dishes have
been bastardized.

49
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840
That's what I read online after
we came there and after the trip

50
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,360
and at the airport.
I looked for good places to eat

51
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,960
when I was at the airport when
we were leaving.

52
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,840
And that's not really what you
should do when you plan a trip.

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,000
I don't think that's a great
idea.

54
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,880
The beignets were good and the
and the and the coffee was on.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,200
I mean, it was chicory, whatever
the hell it was.

56
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Cafe du Monde was great.
That was the best part of the

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320
entire thing.
Well, it was so cool because we

58
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,640
made a mistake and we didn't go
in the front door Cafe Bit du

59
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:53,360
Monde.
We went around the block and we

60
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,640
were coming in from the side
after I after I offered to have

61
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,480
fun with the National Guard guy,
remember?

62
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080
That was so funny.
That might still be the funniest

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,560
thing I've ever heard in my
life.

64
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,280
You want to.
You want to explain the story.

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,120
You want to tell the story.
Oh my God, we're we're walking

66
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,360
down the street.
We, we just going past the place

67
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,360
that had hang grenades and you
got to see the picture because

68
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,960
we're sitting there and we're
holding like this with a goofy

69
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,360
little bit of goofy smile.
We drank our hand grenades.

70
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,000
I tipped the guy and he was so
happy because I think it was the

71
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,400
first guy that tipped him in
cash the whole time there and

72
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,520
we.
Tipped him?

73
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,160
I don't think any.
Yeah, or ever tipped him.

74
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,680
Anyway, we, we drink those and
then I think we had a couple

75
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,920
more beers somewhere else and
then we had a couple more

76
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,400
drinks.
We, oh, we had the frozen stuff.

77
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,720
That was nasty.
I would never have frozen drink

78
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,200
ever again.
I don't think we had to.

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,400
Do frozen daiquiris, because
there's frozen daiquiri places

80
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,520
everywhere.
We tried that.

81
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840
I mean, we were sort of trying a
little bit of everything and

82
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,600
then I think we had a beer and
then we're walking down the

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,920
street and there's this guy
standing there and he's a

84
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,040
National Guard and he's got his
little his, his, his.

85
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,160
What do you call that AM 16 or
whatever the hell the gun is

86
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,880
right now, the M whatever they
are.

87
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,040
And and it's it's right down in
the front of him and he's in his

88
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,120
big macho uniform and there's
two guys on either side of them.

89
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,360
And I look at him and I smile.
I say hey.

90
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,800
And he looks at me and goes, he
knows I'm, I'm, I'm a little

91
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,480
tank, but I'm not, I'm not like
obnoxious or mean.

92
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,400
I'm sort of like funny drunk.
So I go, hey, I'm going to do a

93
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,600
selfie.
I'm going to do a selfie.

94
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,640
And he goes, sure.
And I said point your gun at me.

95
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,000
I didn't even think you said
selfie.

96
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,360
I thought you just put your
camera up, was taking a picture

97
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320
of him and he said point your
gun at me.

98
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:29,800
And I thought that that was all
I.

99
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,840
Said that and the guy just no
and he grabs his gun like I was

100
00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,280
going to grab it and the other
two guys just like looked like

101
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,920
no, are these guys going to need
to be arrested?

102
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,840
That was the that was the
question.

103
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,000
And I was like a little bit in
front of you and I just like

104
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,600
started crying, laughing.
Oh my God, it was so funny.

105
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,600
I.
Don't know where that came from

106
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,600
and you you were like looking at
me and like you know, I will

107
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,000
never understand is we're
walking up the street afterward

108
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,240
and we had we got two more
drinks.

109
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,280
We're walking on the street.
You look over me and you go, I,

110
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,080
I, I will never understand how
how your brain works.

111
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,120
It just, it doesn't.
I don't know how it works.

112
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Like it's that's got to be one
of the funniest off the cuff

113
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,480
remarks I've ever heard.
Then we went to we went to

114
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,040
another bar that was just
terrible and we ordered a beer.

115
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,280
The beer was skunked.
And then we.

116
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:23,600
Ordered AI ordered a drink like
their house special drink and it

117
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,160
was like 2 of them mint and it
tasted like it was mint with

118
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,920
what seemed like urine and that
was bad.

119
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,120
And then we left.
And then we left.

120
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,800
Yeah, the wings, the chicken
wings were great.

121
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,000
I remember.
That yeah, The chicken wings

122
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,040
were great.
The beer was bad.

123
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,040
We got two more.
We didn't get any more beer.

124
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Did we get another draft or
something?

125
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,720
We tried the first one.
The first ones were was it

126
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440
Guinness?
Yeah, it was Guinness.

127
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Yeah, it was Guinness that was.
Bad.

128
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,200
Yeah, that was really bad.
Only draft beer, I think.

129
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,960
I feel like they've had they had
that beer in the back of a

130
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,600
cabinet they forgot about 10
years ago.

131
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000
That's what it tasted like.
But the if it's fermented it

132
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,640
should taste fine, right?
You would you would think you if

133
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,000
it if it's sealed and it's kept.
But the problem with beer is it

134
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:16,680
gets cold, it gets warm, it gets
access to sunlight, it gets away

135
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,560
from sunlight.
So you got you got all these

136
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,440
different things that sort of a
spoil the taste of a beer.

137
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,560
That's why when you you hear
about really good beers, they

138
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,520
have dark bottles because the
sunlight will actually it

139
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,600
interacts according to what is
it.

140
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,400
Who was the guy?
The beer man years ago Boston

141
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,440
Beer Company did Sam Adams and
he talked about why they have

142
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,440
taller 6 packs.
They have taller boxes so the

143
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,720
sunlight doesn't get in because
the sunlight actually spoils the

144
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,360
taste of the beer.
Interesting.

145
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,720
If you set it out on a rack and
it's outside in the sun, you

146
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,760
know, the top 4, 6 packs are
going to have sun hitting on

147
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,320
them.
And with the boxes up higher on

148
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,480
the cartoons, it doesn't do as
much.

149
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,320
The dark bottles help.
That helps everything helps keep

150
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,520
it cool, cold as long as you
can.

151
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,720
If you take it out and you put
it back in, you're, you're,

152
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,000
you're, you're doing stuff.
It's just like a hamburger, you

153
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,400
know, for the most part, You
know, for the most part, yeah,

154
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,520
Hamburger and beer, same thing.
I was going to say the thing

155
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,640
that that surprised me was the
first walk down Bourbon Street

156
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,760
before we accosted the guard.
We we were walking out into like

157
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,160
the Podros or whatever it was
where they were doing all the

158
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,440
back and forth floats and.
Canal Street, Yeah.

159
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,400
Canal Street and the amount of
trash.

160
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,400
So it was trash.
And it was and, and, and, and I

161
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,040
thought the floats would be cool
because I came from Pasadena and

162
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,320
we saw the Rose Bowl and the
pearls.

163
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,360
The parade floats there were
just covered with flowers and

164
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,520
had animals that were all made
out of flowers.

165
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,400
I mean, it was really, really.
These are floats.

166
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,880
These are semis with like a
wooden long kind of what I

167
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,040
imagine like a baseball dugout
would look like if it was

168
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,360
exactly.
And it's on the back of a

169
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,320
tractor trailer.
And I would say I didn't expect

170
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,280
it to be like that, you know?
And it was spray painted.

171
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,520
Yeah, they were all spray.
Painted, they were spray

172
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,920
painted, they looked like a few
more tagged and these people.

173
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Letters too, yeah.
I mean, they actually belong to

174
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,680
crews to make those.
And then they're throwing out

175
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,600
this, you know, they had a
corner on Family Dollar Store

176
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,480
because all they threw out was
just loads and loads of shit.

177
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,320
There were people there with
wagons collecting it, which I

178
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,120
don't understand why unless
they're open in their own Family

179
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,039
Dollar stores.
But it was like little tiny

180
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,520
footballs, little little plastic
spongy things.

181
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:53,240
They had rings, they had beads.
They had the big giant Bally

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,080
beads.
They had what else, Spears, like

183
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,840
the little 3 foot long little
plastic Spears.

184
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,520
They had hatchets that they
threw.

185
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,080
They had weird looking sun
visors.

186
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,640
They had sunglasses that were
trash.

187
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,840
You know, the little $0.25
plastic things.

188
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,720
I mean, everything was garbage
and they couldn't get it to the

189
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,760
crowd.
They can only get about half of

190
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
it to the crowd.
And it fell down on the road,

191
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,760
right?
Well the crowd on both sides has

192
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:26,040
these, you know, steel steeples
that you can't jump over that

193
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,640
are like 4 feet to keep all of
us asshole drunk assholes back.

194
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Well about half of it gets over
and the people all scramble for

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,920
that and they try to get it.
The other half falls in the

196
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,920
street.
Next tractor trailer comes

197
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,880
along, runs over.
So it'd be after the parades and

198
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,840
the parades were really weird
because they were like time.

199
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,120
So you would see a parade for an
hour and then nothing would

200
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,080
happen for an hour and a half
and then an hour and then if.

201
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,800
You cross the street, really.
I mean across the street, but.

202
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,640
When you did that, you just saw
just mountains of garbage.

203
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,160
I've never seen that much trash
in my life.

204
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,960
I don't think I've ever seen
that much trash.

205
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,240
Yeah, I was in Calcutta and it
was not that filthy, not like

206
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,720
that at all.
No, it was crazy.

207
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,960
But the weirdest thing is the
day after we were there as well

208
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,840
and it was gone.
I mean it was gone every.

209
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,400
Season.
They were spraying the streets

210
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,640
at the end of the day with clean
dock in the afternoon.

211
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,160
Get back, get back.
Why Splash?

212
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,520
Yeah, no, that was so that I
didn't think that they would be

213
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,400
that good at cleaning it up like
that.

214
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,240
Judging by DC and how they get
ready for snow storms and how it

215
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,920
seems like it never matters what
they do, there's just snow and

216
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,280
but no, they were, they were on
it.

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,520
They were on it, they sprayed
it.

218
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,640
So you got to say the city
workers did really, really well

219
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,720
there.
I thought the IT looked like

220
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,440
there was a heavy heavy.
I mean I realized they had a

221
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760
bomb scare bomb thing last year
that killed 6.

222
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Bombs were planted last year and
didn't go off and the guy

223
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,440
started shooting into a crowd is
what I understand.

224
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240
And that's why they have the
National Guard there now, which

225
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,040
makes sense.
But there's a lot of police on

226
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,480
these military type vehicles
that were all just.

227
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,440
Those are all National Guards
though.

228
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,280
Right.
No, not the police guys on

229
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,520
those, not those vehicles.
The the army vehicles that were

230
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,680
in the middle were police
interdiction vehicles.

231
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Those were police.
Those were different than the

232
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,240
National Guard had the Humvees,
OK, That was the difference.

233
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,520
So you if you looked at the
vehicles.

234
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:21,600
And looked at militarized
people.

235
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,480
See a little bit different there
were a ton of police down there

236
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,640
and I and walking down Bourbon
Street for the first time the

237
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:31,720
the wildest thing it's a we went
down about 11:30.

238
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,400
You think 11/30/12 yeah, we had
our little breakfast and then we

239
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,080
went down there breakfast was
bad.

240
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,240
We went to Oh that.
Was terrible, yeah.

241
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Is that what it is?
What what you want to do is you,

242
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,000
you open the can of mushrooms
and you don't strain the water

243
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,080
out, really.
And then you throw it on top of

244
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,400
a burger and it's like, in what
world is that appetizing?

245
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,360
Daisy Dukes, We went there.
Not great, not great, no

246
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,680
nothing.
Nothing was good was.

247
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,280
Anything really.
Oh, the the chicken sandwich on

248
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,320
the last day when me and you
were so hungover, where was Oh

249
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,320
my gosh, that was when we slept
in the lobby for two hours

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,560
because our flight was at 6:00
PM or something.

251
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:15,560
We went, did we go to the
airport or did we slept in the

252
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:17,280
lobby?
We were like, can we extend the

253
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,760
room?
And they were like, no, you

254
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,560
can't.
We were like, OK, and then.

255
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:24,480
Oh yeah, you the the room was in
in disarray.

256
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,200
We got.
We got.

257
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,680
Kicked out at noon, but we
didn't gather until I guess

258
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:30,480
1:00.
Really.

259
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,720
We we did it anyway.
We had a lot of, we had.

260
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,120
We left a lot of stuff behind
too.

261
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,560
No, exactly.
Body parts, internal organs.

262
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,440
Oh my God, my toothbrush.
All nine pull out beds were

263
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,240
pulled out and yeah, yeah.
We had a pull out bed.

264
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,000
No, we had a pull out bed.
You snore so bad I always

265
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,360
forget.
Oh my gosh.

266
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,160
But.
No, I don't.

267
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,600
Doesn't bother me at all.
You know what's funny though, is

268
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,080
that I now snore really bad too.
And I think it has to.

269
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Because you smoke one point O 8
cigarettes a day.

270
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,640
It's literally smoking.
It's 20 packs a year.

271
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,760
And that's why I'm going to get
screened from when I'm 50 in

272
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,440
between 50 and 80, you know, as
long as I'm smoking 20 packs of

273
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240
cigarettes a year, I will get
screened then.

274
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,000
But back to the chicken
sandwich.

275
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,560
The chicken sandwich.
No, I don't want to go to the

276
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,040
chicken sandwich.
That's then I want to talk about

277
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,400
the first, my first impression
after we saw the trash and we

278
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,520
saw the little things come by
and we got over to Bourbon

279
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,360
Street and walking on Bourbon
Street and the first thing I see

280
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,560
is a woman on her back to my
right laying on the ground and

281
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:38,240
vomit is coming out of her mouth
and, and there's 5 or 6 drunk

282
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,920
people around her trying to like
turn her over and she's kind of

283
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,840
large.
So it was kind of hard.

284
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,600
So I wanted to videotape it, but
I think that would have been one

285
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,560
step above root there.
Were so many people with their

286
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:54,920
head in between their knees and
vomiting?

287
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,040
There was a time when we saw
that parade that day.

288
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,200
Actually there was a couple, a
couple straight at a 90° angle,

289
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,240
bent over.
A kind of like the heroin

290
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,080
addicts you see now, not the
heroin addicts.

291
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,240
And they were sitting on the
ground and the the woman was

292
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,600
somehow like sat up in a right
angle, completely passed out and

293
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,000
her but not moving was trying to
knock out the alcohol out.

294
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,320
He was trying to knock the drunk
out of his head by hitting his

295
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,080
head like slightly tapping.
And that that doesn't work if

296
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,720
you guys don't know, but you got
to use.

297
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,120
You got to use a hammer.
I just can't imagine ever being

298
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,440
with the love of my life and
being so sloppy drunk that we're

299
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,360
it's literally 11 AM, it's 11 AM
and they're passed out amongst

300
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,280
1,000,000 people that are
walking around us.

301
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,920
I would say every single block
there was a body down.

302
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,600
If not more than one and at.
Least one and one that you would

303
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,920
see a crowd gathered around
because they were hurling.

304
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,000
The insides of their guts were
coming out and and then in

305
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,440
addition to that, you had to
watch where you stepped.

306
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,800
There's huge crowds of people
walking, but there are just

307
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,280
pools of vomit splash
everywhere.

308
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,960
There's a lot of piss, yeah.
Because they didn't have any

309
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,480
bathrooms, so people were like
going up against the wall, like

310
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,480
in a little crevice and going
you can pee here and there.

311
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,880
Was those like 4 Nigerian guys?
Oh, pee.

312
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,600
Here, remember that.
So let's take a piss there.

313
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,560
I think that was when we were
going to go eat was when they

314
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,000
were outside the restaurant and
there was a little corner and

315
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,240
they were pissing on the side of
the restaurant.

316
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,080
And what I find so interesting,
too, is when we were at Daisy

317
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,200
Dukes, there were these people
that were sitting behind us.

318
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,600
And I think they told the
waiters like, but I don't have

319
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,040
any money.
And it's like, my God, my you go

320
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,960
to a restaurant with nine
people, they say don't have any

321
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,600
money.
And I think they made the one

322
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,920
girl pay for all of them.
Yeah, That's what it seemed

323
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:50,640
like.
Yeah.

324
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,920
I was like, I don't think she's
tipping for shed either.

325
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,480
Yeah.
And it's like, my God.

326
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,200
My God.
We, we, we made-up for her

327
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,520
shortcoming, yes.
He that I could just sense the

328
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,800
the the table behind this was
not going to.

329
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:05,760
I thought they were all going to
run out on the check.

330
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,000
I thought they were going to run
out.

331
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,560
That's what I thought they were
going to do, yeah.

332
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,200
But they did, I mean walking
down the when we were walking

333
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,400
down and seeing all the carnage
it it's such an early time in

334
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,760
the day.
And that's when Sheila Buff was

335
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,240
on that road later and or he was
over one Rd. over on Royal.

336
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,320
I think Royal is Next up to
Bourbon Street or whatever and

337
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,040
at the other because you you
would just fan out because

338
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,800
Bourbon Street was wall to wall,
elbow to elbow people.

339
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,160
You were scrubbing people's
you're bumping into everybody,

340
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,800
nobody, nobody.
Kind of like, I mean, I said

341
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,960
excuse me like 3000 times, but
it it doesn't really matter.

342
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,120
Everybody's hammered.
Yeah, And you're just going on

343
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,480
and on and on.
And it was just a sea of crazy

344
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,600
people.
And then the thing I remember is

345
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,800
everybody used to say, show us
your tits.

346
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,880
That was like a big thing.
And we did not see any

347
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,960
nakedness.
At all.

348
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,560
None and they're.
Very surprising because there

349
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,599
was a million two no 1,000,009
people visited for Mardi Gras.

350
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,079
And there were there were women
everywhere that could pull their

351
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:10,520
tops down that you would always
used to see that.

352
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,560
That's what I've heard.
I'm not was not there.

353
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,640
So I was unbuttoning my shirt
and showing my boobs to guys in

354
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,560
the second level and they were
throwing me beads.

355
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,839
You know, at least they got to
see some boob, you know, and I

356
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:22,839
would go, oh, I mean.
I would, I would do it.

357
00:17:22,839 --> 00:17:26,160
I would go back.
If I had friends that said let's

358
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,040
do, let's do New Orleans, let's
do a party, I would.

359
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Go back if I had 10 plus people,
you know, or five plus people or

360
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,160
something like that, I mean, you
need a group is what I kind of

361
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,680
realized.
You need like a large group of

362
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,360
people to go with.
I think that that's kind of what

363
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:44,200
you want, yeah.
I was, I was surprised by like,

364
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,880
oh, they had the the 1 Impala
with the rims, the really big

365
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,640
rims.
It was playing.

366
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,400
There's a lot of cars that were
driving around doing music and

367
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,120
stuff like that.
We walked down to that, as we

368
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:59,800
said to Cafe DuMont, and we
stood in front of the castle and

369
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,360
took pictures there.
What's the aquarium?

370
00:18:04,120 --> 00:18:06,480
We did that.
The next day we did that.

371
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,120
Which we didn't.
Smartly, No, no, we did that.

372
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:13,600
We did that Wednesday.
Tuesday was the crazy drunk and

373
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,720
crazy and and then Wednesday we
actually said we're going to do

374
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,720
something real.
We're.

375
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,080
Going to learn something.
We did something real and we

376
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,040
went to the aquarium, which I
went to like 40 years ago.

377
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:31,360
I went to a show there AA double
L on the docks when they first

378
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:35,560
opened the aquarium and it was
it was like 40 bucks to get in.

379
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,320
We went there, they had eight of
the local, the best chefs with

380
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,200
their own food stations on
there.

381
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,920
It was the best food I've ever
had they had.

382
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,480
Life.
They had like 12.

383
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,040
In your lives?
No, not.

384
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,680
My life, it was just, it was
just amazing.

385
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,760
It's what people say New Orleans
food tastes like.

386
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,160
There we go.
That's what I missed this whole.

387
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Time and that I mean they had
crawfish E toufe they had they

388
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,640
had gumbo they had and you know,
they had little like you had

389
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,000
more than just a sample of cups,
like everybody had cups of

390
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,800
everything and it was just crazy
red beans and rice, just stuff

391
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:17,400
that that you didn't realize
that it could taste that good.

392
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,440
I was just surprised.
And I still remember it to this

393
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,280
day, you know, and, and, and
back then, the cool thing about

394
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,480
Bourbon Street is they had all
these whippet bars.

395
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,880
And I remember that night.
Shops.

396
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,520
The head shops.
Yeah, like 3:00 in the morning,

397
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,240
we got a taxi driver to drive us
down Bourbon Street back the

398
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,560
other way, 'cause we were there
in July and he, he was stopping

399
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,120
at all the Whippet bars and we
ended up doing Whippets until

400
00:19:42,120 --> 00:19:44,440
and I had to be up at 7:30 the
next day at the show.

401
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,360
So we're, we're doing with it's,
we've been drinking all day.

402
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,480
We went to Pat O'Brien's.
We had four hurricanes there,

403
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,840
which.
Oh my God, we had two this time

404
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,080
and we blacked out and that was
that was painful.

405
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720
I lost my credit card.
What else do we lose?

406
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,480
You thought you lost your ID,
but then you found it in your.

407
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,480
Yeah, I found it in my wallet.
Yeah.

408
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,680
I thought this time that we had
a crude wet brain finally.

409
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,200
And we didn't.
We did, and then it went away.

410
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:11,920
I did not think it was going to
go away this time.

411
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,280
I was kind of worried, a little
worried about that.

412
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,040
I was like, will I be able to
read a book after this?

413
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,840
I don't know.
I don't know if I will be.

414
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:20,040
But now I'm feeling a lot
better.

415
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,120
I'm feeling a lot better
feeling.

416
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,800
I'm feeling all the way.
Back I came home Thursday and I

417
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,920
was sick from Thursday until
yesterday.

418
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,000
I took Z Pack, yeah, Thursday a
week ago, I had, we had guests

419
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,360
come in for the weekend.
We, we didn't, I did not party

420
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:35,840
with them.
I hung out with them and we went

421
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,120
around and we saw a bunch of
stuff.

422
00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,600
We had a lot of fun and they're
great guests.

423
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:45,240
And then we had a family get
together on Sunday and then

424
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,480
Monday I think I had something
going on and then I started

425
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,600
cancelling stuff.
Tuesday I cancelled, said I can

426
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,680
or I I went somewhere, did lunch
or something.

427
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,200
And then but the whole time my
stomach is got a squirrel

428
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,640
running around and circling it.
I was congested at the end, I

429
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,200
wasn't even congested.
I was just, my nose was running

430
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:09,200
like crazy and I felt slightly
feverish and then I got a really

431
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,400
bad chill when I came back and
then the next day I was gone.

432
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,520
And then I say it was gone.
Mine lasted.

433
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,240
For seven days.
Mine was two days in and out and

434
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,400
I was surprised.
Yeah, I thought I had surprised

435
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,240
COVID.
I took the COVID stuff because

436
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,440
you know, you never know and no
do you?

437
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,800
Think it matters at this point.
That's what I wonder is like why

438
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,000
I?
Just wanted to know if it was

439
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,200
because it's a lot more
contagious and it and it hurts a

440
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,000
lot of people that I know are
older and I'd expose myself and

441
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,720
say hey, I don't want you to
die.

442
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,240
That's kind of the thing I.
Don't know, you know, I don't

443
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:38,800
know.
I took.

444
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,720
I had Commander Conrad told me
that I should take your Z pack

445
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,240
and I did.
I had AZ pack leftover from Zach

446
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,760
when he was like 7 so it's three
big ping pills I took.

447
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,560
Nothing like taking expired
drugs.

448
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,760
I took the.
Second ping pill today and it's

449
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,960
like whoa, I'm I'm, I'm happy
man.

450
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,680
I'm happy man.
I don't have like my head's too

451
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,080
big, you know, like wet brain,
but with just too big.

452
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,440
And your eyes just kind of sink
down because you got your, your,

453
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,200
your whole head is just, oh,
it's like half an inch larger.

454
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,720
The inside's 1/2 an inch larger
than the outside and you can

455
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,760
feel it.
Yeah, the day before we left, I

456
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,320
drank 15 to 20 old fashions and
they, what they don't tell you

457
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,120
about drinking 15 to 20 old
fashions is that the hangover is

458
00:22:24,120 --> 00:22:27,440
terrible and.
Because it's is that when we

459
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,240
went to Ritz Carlton?
It's the simple.

460
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,360
Syrup, yes, that's Carlton
greatest strengths.

461
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:35,120
Shitty food.
I wish bad.

462
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:36,600
Food at the Ritz Carlton is
crazy.

463
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,280
I mean what would you think if
you paid?

464
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,880
Like what would you pay 40 bucks
for chartery thing or whatever?

465
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,560
The hell it was so it was
booting balls.

466
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,240
It was a specific Cajun sausage,
two types.

467
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,960
And then it was like, what are
the mini Pickles?

468
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,680
I don't know, Gucci on or
whatever it's called.

469
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,120
Yeah, a little tiny pickle.
Gucci on or something and it.

470
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,400
Was like 45 bucks and it just
was not and.

471
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,080
There was, oh, you know what it
was too.

472
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,160
There was something that I
learned about and it's called

473
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,400
Hogs Head cheese.
And out there for all you

474
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,680
listening, Hogs Head cheese is
actual Hogs head and it's

475
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,880
basically re.
It's kind of like a Mcrib and

476
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,440
that they re kind of put it back
into a shape and then they sell

477
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,360
it to you as cheese.
It's not cheese, it's meat.

478
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:19,760
Head meat.
But let me tell you, their their

479
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,960
their martinis were 6 ounces of
the vodka.

480
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,680
Yeah.
And then they said, then they

481
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,400
said olive over top olive.
I don't.

482
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,360
They did say it loud.
What was it?

483
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,720
We did old fashions.
I just did old fashioned so that

484
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,040
was it.
And then we went out of there

485
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,000
and then we.
And then you went to sleep.

486
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,400
And then I went down to the bar.
Yeah.

487
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,200
And then I.
Had.

488
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,160
Another 4 5 old fashions.
Yeah, and she probably took my

489
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,680
credit card and lost it.
Maybe, I don't know.

490
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,360
But we had already gone to Pat
O'Brien's that night, remember?

491
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,360
Didn't we?
No, no, that was different.

492
00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:55,280
That was the previous night.
That was the previous night,

493
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,520
yeah.
Previous night, that was the

494
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,080
17th.
That was Fat Tuesday when we

495
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,920
went to Pat O'Brien's.
And we had, yeah.

496
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,840
And then the next day, we didn't
have that and we were using the

497
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,920
Capital One.
Oh yeah, the other credit card

498
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,040
here.
I'll put the number up so

499
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,800
everybody knows what it is so
they can take it.

500
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Security numbers 145 the
address. 976 Hot Love. 1865.

501
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,520
2010 Boulevard, about 1600
Pennsylvania Ave.

502
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,400
I'm just happy that I'm not.
You're building really altered

503
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,920
from the amount of alcohol I
drank.

504
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,400
Very happy about that.
I was worried I was on the

505
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:28,400
plane.
I'm like, am I going to be

506
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,680
stupid for the rest of my life?
We went there with the idea that

507
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,120
we weren't going to do that too.
Did we?

508
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:35,160
I don't know.
Yes, we did.

509
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,480
We we, we were like, you know,
and it's, we're gonna.

510
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,640
Drink light beer.
We're gonna be good.

511
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,560
Yeah, and we're planning.
We're gonna do that.

512
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,800
We.
Did not drink one light beer the

513
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,200
entire.
No.

514
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,560
Didn't we start?
Didn't.

515
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,680
When we had our gumbo, we each
had a light beer.

516
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:49,840
We had a Guinness.
Oh yeah, we had.

517
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,760
No, we drank old fashions the
first day.

518
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:53,920
That was the first drink we had.
Yeah, it was an old.

519
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:57,160
The the the the ones that they
made at Snappers were nasty.

520
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,680
That was just Yeah.
What bourbon and the cherry I.

521
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,160
Thought it was fine, I don't.
Know yeah it was it was okay but

522
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,680
it wasn't like struggles too
well the good ones the best I've

523
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,000
ever had has to be.
Moab.

524
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,160
Yeah, Moab, that bar there, that
guy was just like.

525
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,320
I never cashed this check over
here.

526
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,040
I didn't realize that.
Well, sign it and send it to me

527
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:17,480
and I'll.
Cash it.

528
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,400
I gotta I gotta cash this.
Check, I'll make sure you don't

529
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,280
get to keep the money because
I'll take a look there.

530
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,200
It was a great, it was a good
time.

531
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,320
I'm glad.
What, what, what, what out of

532
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,240
10?
Would you rate it?

533
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,880
What out of 10?
There's different things.

534
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,800
I would rate the food A2 the.
Food was maybe a one.

535
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Rate I would rate the hotel
probably A7 or an 8.

536
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,280
It was a really good hotel.
They.

537
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,280
Wouldn't open the safe though,
like we had a Oh yeah, that was

538
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,640
fun.
I like in the instructions are

539
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,240
like, so when you check in, make
sure to put all your valuables

540
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,320
in the safe.
And the safe was blocked when we

541
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,480
checked in.
And then I called downstairs and

542
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,520
then I'm like, oh, wait, the
phone's dead in the room, it's

543
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,360
broken.
And then I had to use the other

544
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:54,960
phone, which was my phone, and
then I called.

545
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,280
You just lowered it to A5.
And then they sent somebody up

546
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,640
and they sent somebody not to
our room apparently.

547
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
And then so that never got fixed
and.

548
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,440
That's right, we never did get
that fixed.

549
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,800
No, and that never got.
Fixed.

550
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,080
We, we, we, we left him about
behind.

551
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:14,080
A really big tip.
We had two bathrooms.

552
00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:15,280
We had two bathrooms.
Luckily.

553
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,880
We sure did.
We were so lucky we had two

554
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,800
bathrooms.
We are so lucky we had two

555
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,560
bathrooms.
Bad on you, Mr. Zach.

556
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,200
I told you not to go in there.
We went in there.

557
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,560
That might be.
When I went in there originally

558
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,320
and the walls were white, when
this time they were sort of a

559
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,240
rust color.
I never remember telling.

560
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,040
You.
I was like, I've never.

561
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,720
Seen walls dripping the walls.
Were dripping and it was just

562
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,440
like, oh, and the sink was
destroyed.

563
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,520
The sink, the sink, the toilet,
and the whole mirror.

564
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,600
The mirror placed the sink, the
wall, the wall, everything.

565
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,520
It was it.
Was the wall actually it?

566
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,680
Yeah, it was.
You were not good at all.

567
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,080
And there was a roll of toilet
paper in the middle of it,

568
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,400
covered and whatever.
I did not notice that my

569
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,840
toothbrush was in there because
that's where I brushed my teeth,

570
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,560
you know, And of course, I would
have used it, but I went in and

571
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,560
looked at it and went, oh, my
God.

572
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,360
Oh my God, yeah.
Yeah, that that was the worst

573
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:16,400
ever because I woke up in the
middle of the night in in in a

574
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,200
certain state and I knocked the
toilet paper into the sink and

575
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,080
then I had my way with the sink
and then you know what happens.

576
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,360
Is and it didn't all.
Affect and it was in the dark so

577
00:27:26,360 --> 00:27:27,520
I couldn't find the light
switch.

578
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,240
So I'm I'm I'm like feeling now
where the sink is 'cause the

579
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,880
sink is bigger than the.
Toilet, Let me tell you this,

580
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:41,040
the, the, the bathroom, the
toilet was not the mirror 'cause

581
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,880
you, you cornered like it was
like a corner of the mirror, the

582
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,920
wall that you were sort of
aiming in the direction of the

583
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,600
toilet and you kind of got part
of the top of the toilet.

584
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,920
And well, I don't understand
either.

585
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,760
I was like.
That's a lot of fluid.

586
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,160
Man, the PSI.
The pure PSI behind it, like,

587
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,480
was so powerful too.
Like I don't think I've ever had

588
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,440
a powerful one like that.
Oh, we ordered rooms.

589
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,000
Oh, I need to charge my computer
here.

590
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Yeah, there we go.
The room service, Yeah.

591
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,480
Yeah, we ordered like 220 bucks.
What the hell did you order?

592
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,760
You ordered a bottle of
champagne, We poured 2 glasses,

593
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,320
we didn't drink any, and we left
a half a bottle there.

594
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,000
That's how freaking stupid we
were.

595
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,920
We had you ordered chicken
Nuggets or something.

596
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,720
What the hell?
But the thing was, is that I

597
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,880
woke up the next day.
I didn't even remember that we

598
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,640
ordered room service.
Really.

599
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,400
No, not at all.
Did you remember?

600
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:34,800
Did you wake up the next day?
You.

601
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,360
No, no, I came in the next day.
I remember drinking the

602
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,880
champagne, taking a sip, going
like, why did you?

603
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,720
Yeah, I was.
Feeling really good.

604
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,720
And then, well, there was a
certain time during that meal

605
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,120
where I was, I crashed, you
know, what are you going to do?

606
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,200
What are you going to do about
it?

607
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,400
Yep, you crashed.
See, I thought that was the end

608
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,800
of the night.
That was, but still, I would

609
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,360
just sleep right after you.
You went out.

610
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,840
I passed out.
You passed.

611
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,360
Out at like 5 or something.
Oh, and then you came in and

612
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,000
woke me up at like 12:30 and I
was still, yeah.

613
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:12,480
Yeah, yeah.
And then he went, he went wake

614
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,720
up.
And then I went, I don't know

615
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,600
how many times.
You know, Jose would do that to

616
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,440
me all the time.
He did that to me at and.

617
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,720
Then I was like, I ordered room
service because I felt like we

618
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,120
should eat because we didn't eat
the whole day.

619
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,400
We were drinking and.
Then.

620
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,280
We remember it was not good.
Yeah, I think we ate Donuts.

621
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,920
Jose coming in to get me, he, he
grabs me and I'm in bed, I'm

622
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,640
snoring and he and he wakes me
up and you got you got to come

623
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,840
out.
And this is the place that we,

624
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,240
we at Lake Manora.
The wine was $5 a bottle.

625
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:50,200
So we had two guys with us.
So I, I gave the lady 60 bucks

626
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,920
and I said, give us 8 bottles of
wine.

627
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:56,360
So everybody from 22 Fists and
we each had two bottles of wine

628
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,480
to Storm.
That's ridiculous.

629
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,320
And white or red.
What white or red?

630
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,640
I think mine was like a Pinot
Grigio is a white.

631
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,360
It was a white, not red, not
red.

632
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,000
I don't remember any red color
anywhere.

633
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,160
I remember white color all over
everything.

634
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,880
And and we had to lock the doors
because the monkeys were coming

635
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,360
and and they were real monkeys.
They're really monkeys there.

636
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,360
No, they'll, they'll come into
your room and take your shit.

637
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,800
You do that.
So if you don't shut your door

638
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:31,080
and lock it, they will jiggle
the handle and if it opens,

639
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,720
they'll come in and just take
whatever food you have and

640
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,760
anything that interests them,
you know, like a camera or

641
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,280
something to run away with or
whatever, you know.

642
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:45,680
But anyway, all the different
stories where you get drug out

643
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,560
in the middle of the night,
you're just like, that's what

644
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,160
that was.
You woke me up at what,

645
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,760
midnight?
What time was that when we did

646
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,560
that?
Midnight service.

647
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,920
I was shocked when it it
actually came in, when I placed

648
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,720
the order, 'cause it was already
11:45.

649
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,080
I'm like, your kitchen is still
open.

650
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,360
Like, I was very surprised by
that, yeah.

651
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,360
And they're like drunk people
eat all the time.

652
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,920
Yeah.
And we can just, we can build

653
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,680
them and then not worry about it
at all.

654
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,480
And that's kind of a cool thing.
Exactly.

655
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,360
But it was like, I would, yeah.
I would do it again.

656
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,840
I would do it again.
I would do it again with you,

657
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,680
you know, but a group of people.
I would go 5 to 8 people,

658
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:19,800
something like that.
Yeah.

659
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,960
And I would try to make it.
I would actually plan where to

660
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,080
eat.
I would do that, yeah.

661
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,720
I would actually do some more
planning because we kind of just

662
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,200
raw dogged.
It we didn't do any planning.

663
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,520
We walked, we walked everywhere.
We saw everything.

664
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,760
I mean, we walked up and down
Bourbon Street, we walked Royal,

665
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,240
we walked up and down the canal.
We were there just great.

666
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,920
We saw the we, we did see every
statue.

667
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,480
That was cool.
Well, I went in 2020 and I

668
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,960
thought it, it was so crazy
because me and Sean must have

669
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,720
been the luckiest people in the
world because we ate at a couple

670
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,320
restaurants and they were all
amazing.

671
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,800
They were incredible.
And I was like, oh wow, they

672
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,640
just naturally have good food
down there.

673
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,680
No, that's a lie.
We got really, really lucky.

674
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,400
And I think there is also
something to be said that like

675
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,360
when you go during Mardi Gras,
they're all their supplies are

676
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,480
exhausted.
So they're just trying to get

677
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,200
this stuff out.
Or they just bought they're

678
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,080
making everything in 50 gallon
rounds.

679
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,680
Exactly.
Yeah, that as well.

680
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,200
So maybe that's why we got lucky
is because there wasn't a

681
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,800
million, almost 2 million people
there visiting.

682
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:22,360
But there was the headache
daiquiri.

683
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,680
Oh man that hurts so bad.
I've never felt my internal

684
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,480
organs freeze like.
That that was you were like

685
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,920
talking to me.
I was going, my head was hurting

686
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,800
so bad.
I was making a funny walrus

687
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,680
noise and mouth.
Why was it so cold?

688
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,240
I've never had something that
cold in my life.

689
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,360
Yeah, it was just frozen.
Whatever.

690
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,800
Well.
It's like you drink an icy from

691
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,280
the movie theater and it's not
that cold.

692
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,440
Yeah, you know, like I don't
know it's.

693
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,240
Cold and well, I think, but.
Then it goes away.

694
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,880
That was consistently cold the
entire time.

695
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,440
I think the only thing that we
regret is the fact that we

696
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,640
didn't do more hand grenades and
less Pat O'Brien's.

697
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,840
Definitely more hand grenades.
The Hurricane, it just tastes

698
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,880
like cherry liqueur, like that's
all it is.

699
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,800
It just.
Tastes like well, but that's the

700
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,720
whole idea is that you're
drinking a sweet drink and the

701
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,760
next thing you know you're
booting.

702
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:14,360
But we did, we did get to see
what do you, what did we see?

703
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,680
We met a bunch of people there.
Oh, we did.

704
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,600
Yeah, Yeah.
Yeah, I mean Cigar Bar.

705
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,640
Yeah, it's Cigar Bar.
I don't know.

706
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,680
There's smoke inside there
still, yeah.

707
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,400
Yeah, they had a they had a
Cuban cigar bar and we smoked

708
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,840
cigars there.
We had our mine and what the

709
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,960
heck, we met this couple.
The childless couple.

710
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,240
Mikey.
In their 40 she was just turning

711
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:39,080
40, it was her birthday and then
we met the the weird guy with

712
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:44,280
his wife and.
Why do you say the weird guy?

713
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Well, he was a local, Yeah, I
think was a like yeah, I think.

714
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,280
And, and he was like, he talked
about people coming out in the

715
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,960
early and this is the 16th the
night, Monday night we were

716
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,680
drinking with him, the Scar Bar.
This is before Fat Tuesday.

717
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,680
Before Fat Tuesday and he was
saying people get up tomorrow,

718
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,760
come out early and then you will
see the real a New Orleans

719
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,840
'cause you can come out and be
your real person.

720
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,120
And we were like, whatever that
means, and we couldn't figure

721
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,239
that out, but.
Well, the real New Orleans, I

722
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,120
think happens early in the
morning 'cause all they wear is

723
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,280
kind of like the same outfit
across like 50 other people.

724
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,960
'Cause I understand.
The difference between like the

725
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,239
Zulu people, which is like an
actual thing, and then like all

726
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,639
of these other people that are
just there to get drunk, you

727
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:36,440
know, like, I don't know, I feel
like a large part of it is you

728
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,600
just there to get drunk.
But there is a historical value

729
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,400
to it 'cause I mean like name
another state that has a 2 month

730
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,719
long party similar to the
Philippines where like they

731
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:46,760
celebrate.
Christmas, Germany.

732
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,719
Two months in advance, you know.
Germany.

733
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,199
But that's not a state.
I mean the US, the.

734
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:55,440
State of Germany.
Do you think Virginia, like I, I

735
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,560
don't know, though.
I, I was thinking about it.

736
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,080
I'm like growing up in Virginia.
If Virginia was wiped off the

737
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,640
map tomorrow, I could give it.
I could give a carry, you know,

738
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:05,640
like, I don't know really.
Well, UVAUVA didn't they have

739
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,000
like Easters I wherever I'm.
From I've never been like oh

740
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,880
gung ho about where I'm from.
I I never really thought McLean,

741
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,120
VA was.
No Easters and and and UVA is a

742
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,000
big deal.
But it's a 2 month long thing.

743
00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:22,720
No, but it's only like 4 or five
days.

744
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,880
Yeah, that's not, that's not.
And that's not the whole state

745
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,920
either.
Yeah, that's no, I don't know.

746
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,440
I've never been this guy of oh,
I love where I'm from.

747
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,280
This is this is defining for me.
It's character defining.

748
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,280
This is who I am through and
through.

749
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:42,440
This is where all my culture is.
You know what I'm saying?

750
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,440
Do you like, do you feel that
way about Virginia?

751
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:49,280
I, I like Virginia because it,
it, I mean, I used to like it

752
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,960
because it had a change of
weather, but this, this most

753
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:56,720
recent winter, I'm, I'm my, my
mind is on a, on a, on a pivot

754
00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:59,840
right now.
But I love the fact that you can

755
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,520
go from the beach to the
mountains, but you do that in.

756
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,200
California.
You know, like I don't.

757
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,040
Know, yeah.
Well, The thing is what I'm.

758
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,600
What?
I'm 10 miles in California.

759
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,080
It's it's five hours.
So but I'm really trying to ask

760
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:14,080
you, do you do you feel it's
ingrained in your character?

761
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:18,040
Do you feel when you somebody
asks you who is Phil Brown?

762
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,200
Do you think that it's I'm a
Virginian first before anything

763
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,000
or do you think it's OK, There
we go.

764
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:23,720
That's what.
That's what I.

765
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:26,040
Feel.
I feel though, that it's it's

766
00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,200
about home, it's not about the
state.

767
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,440
Feeling of what?
OK, I see what you're.

768
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,680
Saying mine, mine is more like,
you know, we grew up in

769
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,080
Woodbridge.
I was there for, you know, 26

770
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:41,440
years and then I've been here in
Fairfax County, you know, 10

771
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:45,920
miles north for 30 some year.
Forty, my gosh.

772
00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:49,480
And I've been in this house
since 98.

773
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:54,200
So I've seen things change
dramatically.

774
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,000
And that to me is like forests
and things like that.

775
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,800
And and, you know, that's that's
my thing, so.

776
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,000
That's what I meant by if it
gets wiped off the map tomorrow,

777
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,720
it's just a cultural identity I
don't have.

778
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,800
But no, don't get me wrong, Love
Virginia.

779
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,320
No Gorgeous state.
One of the most gorgeous states

780
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,880
in the country, hands down.
No, I, I adore it.

781
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,080
I love.
Where I went to go drive to

782
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,080
Kansas.
I mean, the college, what I went

783
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,520
to was a world UNESCO heritage
site.

784
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,240
You think about that?
One of the three in the world

785
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:23,360
where I went to college was
beautiful.

786
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,600
It was almost, Yeah.
No go.

787
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:29,000
Nighthawks but.
Nova Nova.

788
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,440
Nova.
But Eva was truly a wonderful

789
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,840
knowledge.
A truly a wonderful experience.

790
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,520
And at the same time, there's
there's aspects of Virginia that

791
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,600
you don't find anywhere else,
like I mean, even Culpepper, you

792
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,360
go to these rural places that
aren't so rural anymore and Blue

793
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,240
Ridge, you find some really
true, true beauty there, you

794
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:49,720
know?
I love driving the Blue Ridge.

795
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,760
Yeah, yeah.
Skyline Drive.

796
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,720
Oh my God.
My uncle had was helped build

797
00:37:55,720 --> 00:37:58,480
the lower end of it, you know,
and he used to talk about that

798
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,120
going out there and seeing the
the Cougars and the Bobcats and

799
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,520
all that kind of crap out there
when they're you ever think

800
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,920
about.
Doing the Appalachian Trail,

801
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:11,520
everything about doing.
That I don't have the time.

802
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:15,680
What are you so busy doing?
No, I have the time, but I

803
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,640
don't.
I mean to me, I wouldn't want to

804
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,520
walk by myself straight for 90
days.

805
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:23,400
Why not?
I would.

806
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,280
I just I I want to be with.
People, we could do a piece of

807
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,440
it, you know?
And I don't live and, and I

808
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:33,040
don't mind going for a few days
here and there and enjoying the

809
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:37,720
outdoors and, you know,
commingling with nature.

810
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:44,920
But I think that that for that
length of time, I don't have it.

811
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,560
I don't have the, I don't have
the desire.

812
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,240
I don't think that that would
fair that for me it wouldn't, it

813
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:52,240
wouldn't do it.
I would do El Camino before I

814
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:56,280
would do that and I would do a
short point of that.

815
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,320
And you know why?
Because it's in another country

816
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,760
and I don't know why for me to,
if I get on a plane and go

817
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:07,120
somewhere, it immediately adds a
level of excitement to it, you

818
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,520
know, fair, fairpoint.
Like if if I lived in New

819
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:17,720
Orleans, it'd be like, you know.
I don't know, for me, maybe back

820
00:39:17,720 --> 00:39:19,480
to what I was saying too about
the whole cultural idea.

821
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,240
Wonder what the level of
alcoholism is?

822
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,000
Brought What's the highest crime
rate in all the the?

823
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,760
America and the cops are brutal
down there.

824
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,280
Yeah, no, they seem like they
are.

825
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:33,680
They got into it to for a very
specific reason.

826
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,280
And yeah, no, it's it was a
great.

827
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,000
Time to beat up poor people.
They exactly and get free labor.

828
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,240
100% Nope system.
Put them in jail.

829
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,800
Put them in jail in the work
first.

830
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,640
Systemic racism is still a
thing.

831
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,680
But no, yeah, I don't know.
I've never gotten the sense of

832
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,280
home anywhere, you know?
I don't know, No matter where

833
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,960
I've lived, I've never really
felt like I don't know that I

834
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,040
wanted to live there.
So.

835
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,360
So when I take any item off the
shelf over here and throw it in

836
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:05,960
the trash, you don't care?
Those are my belongings, though,

837
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:07,920
OK?
Those are my belongings.

838
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,320
Just because you grew up
somewhere doesn't mean you

839
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,200
needed to feel a sense of home,
right?

840
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,840
I'm.
Throwing I'm throwing your shit

841
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,200
away today, so.
You're throwing away my

842
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,520
belongings.
OK, Thank you.

843
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,400
I I love when you called me on
the phone.

844
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,840
You say, do you want this photo
of when you were six years old?

845
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,960
I'm like, no, you know what?
Delete my history of my entire

846
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:31,720
life please yes please delete
the history of my entire life so

847
00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:35,080
I when I get old and I start to
forget things I can remember

848
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:36,840
nothing about what it was like
when I.

849
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,080
Right.
We want you to start.

850
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,160
We want you to start paying rent
for their items that we store.

851
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,080
It's kind of like, what is that?
Yeah, one of those cube smart

852
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,240
things.
I love that.

853
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:47,440
The cube Smart, Yeah.
Oh, you want your stuff?

854
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,800
Yeah, that'll be 7950.
That's so funny.

855
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,720
That's what they're going to do
with the your memories.

856
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,760
When they put the neuro link in,
they're going to say, do you

857
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,520
want access to your childhood?
That'll be. 10.

858
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,000
Dollars a month please.
Oh my God, I'm never going to

859
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,800
put a thing in.
I don't know, maybe I don't feel

860
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,240
like they already did something
like that.

861
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,720
I feel so odd these days.
Ever since 2020 it's been

862
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,920
strange.
How long have we been going for?

863
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:10,800
How long have we been doing
this?

864
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:12,960
Oh, we're in 45 minutes.
OK, we're good.

865
00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:14,960
Well, I think we're signing off.
We're good.

866
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,960
You're getting old, man.
You're getting old.

867
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,880
I sure AM.
OK, so let's do a let's do a

868
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:27,240
conclusion.
I would say filthy Family Dollar

869
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:31,720
Store, incredible amount of
trashy drunks, a lot of.

870
00:41:31,720 --> 00:41:33,640
Vomit.
This is going to make a lot of

871
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:39,280
people not happy.
A lot of everybody, everybody

872
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,640
was nice.
Everybody's incredibly nice.

873
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,680
Everybody was nice.
Nicer than they are in

874
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,520
California.
I'm not going to Everywhere you

875
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,400
went, Every person you talk to,
every single server, every

876
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,560
single time.
No one, I mean.

877
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,920
There's a sense of culture too,
and and we're dealing, remember.

878
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,720
The lady that gave us the shitty
Guinness, how nice she was to

879
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,240
us.
Remember the lady?

880
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:03,840
The guy that gave us the hang
grenades, how nice he was.

881
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,280
Remember the lady that sat there
and we got the frozen nasty

882
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:08,880
things that be her freaking
brains out.

883
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,960
She was wonderful.
Remember the guy that served our

884
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,160
beignets?
He was a great guy.

885
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,000
Remember the guy that we were
sitting in the Ritz Carlton?

886
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,840
He brought her drinks over.
He was a really nice, I mean,

887
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,920
the people throughout.
And they're not all local

888
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:25,400
Louisianans, either.
You know these?

889
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,440
Are these are these are poor
people, rich people everywhere?

890
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,720
And it was.
From Eastern Europe like the.

891
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,480
The vibe was just like.
Let it be.

892
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,560
No, it's very.
Very it was very, very.

893
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:40,680
And I think that that is what I
would go back to do because it

894
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,280
was like the vibe was just like,
wow, this is this is cool.

895
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,840
I'm just going to sit down here
and take a nap.

896
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,800
OK, there's this.
That's cool culture.

897
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,920
We we don't want you to sleep in
the road, Sir.

898
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,200
There's a sense of culture in
identity there that you don't

899
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,400
have in other places.
You really don't.

900
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,040
And that's the only place that I
think has, I think it might have

901
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,400
the strongest culture and
identity in America.

902
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,280
I really do.
Well, they said it's the only

903
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,320
one that has the big holiday,
the multi day holiday, and it is

904
00:43:05,720 --> 00:43:07,400
it is it is it?
Definitely is.

905
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,560
It's ours.
I feel like you haven't, Mark

906
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,120
Twain, you know, I'll leave us
off on a quote.

907
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,160
It's like you have not truly
experienced America until you

908
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:15,960
have seen Louisiana during Mardi
Gras.

909
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,320
And I agree with that.
I agree with that that you

910
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,520
really haven't because it is so
different and I and.

911
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:25,320
The people were short.
Everybody was very short.

912
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,840
It was very odd.
That's something that was

913
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,440
different, too.
Very, very odd, But I loved it.

914
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:30,800
I thought it was great.
I would do it again.

915
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,240
Definitely.
Hands down, hands down.

916
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:38,360
So we're going to get 2 happy
snaps, 1/2 for that.

917
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,160
When we go back, we do happy
snaps, right?

918
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,280
I'll do another Mardi Gras
episode next year.

919
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,000
I want to do Albuquerque Balloon
Festival in October.

920
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:47,400
I'm.
Thinking about then let's do

921
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,120
that, all right?
I'll see you later.

922
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,120
Love it man, party on.
