0:11 Make the entirely unnecessary move of of upgrading my Apple TV at home, I'll bring my current one and making casts to it. Apple TV Is that like an actual TV? No, it's it's like a fire stick. Okay, I've never heard apples. Sorry, I'm stupid. I don't I'm not familiar. Like, what are the other ones? Roku, Google, Google TV? What's the biggest Roku? It's probably between Roku and and fire stick because fire chick sticks are so cheap. Fire sticks are cheap. Yeah, like Apple TV is one hundred and five five bucks. People buy a smart TV and then buy a fire stick at this point, if you're buying a brand new one, there's a really good chance that the fire sticks built into it.
1:00 Oh, Amazon has a deal with the brand. Yeah, I wonder who, because that's what Roku? Right, Like, Roku doesn't make TVs. Yeah, we're talking like the software that runs a smart TV. Roku has deals with a couple of ts. Yeah, t l C, t l C. Roku's Japanese. I mean six. Yeah, I've been studying. Well, that's right, you're you're about to go I mean six six, the number six? Can you count to ten? Ich Nie Son sounds like a song. I can't remember roku something roku chi chi hachi q ju.
1:53 I think that's pretty good. I missed five better than I got handbi lingual. I can do Spanish if you could count to you're multi lingual. I am multil trying. Yeah, and I'm gonna study Samandarin after after visiting Japan. What are they doing taiwan Cantonese. Mostly it's Taiwanese moves because I know barts mostly Taiwanese. But I think he speaks he speaks Mandarin, you speaks Taiwanese. Yeah, I think they're similar. I think Taiwanese and Mandarin are probably more similar than Mandarin and Cantonese. Okay, how mean it makes sense. It's an island, be like different, Okay, Okay, I have one to ten in Japanese, and I don't see roku in here.
2:45 There's two different types. So there's okay, there's likeana and there's like katsa khana. Yeah, so like hone is one for four, but I think there's another way to say four. There's another way to say six, seven, eight. I don't know. Is it by area again? I don't know. It's just a generation. I don't know why they're having me learn, like to how to read two different types of like characters, Like out there alphabet, there's two different versions, and I learned a lot of one, and then they made me start on the other, and I feel like I have to start over again. Yeah, I wonder if one is like an old school version, you know, like reading Shakespeare. I gots still English, but yeah, there's there's hitta gana and there's kana. Yeah, okay, so if you're counting, uh okay. Co can be used to count small objects, for example, Apple's small balls small or eggs. So we got two problematic things here. Uh yeah, Eco nico songku yunko gokuku Wait a minute, j o g o ko for four roko no nakoko?
4:01 Isn't it? K is it not? Ku? It's ko ko? Are you doing audio? Are you doing audio? Yeah? Like Booker Lesson or whatever. It's d lingo. You know, I never really I wish I tried due lingo before we went to France, and I found that it was like way easy at first and stuff that I just barely because I took French and the basics million years ago. And then I was also remembering things that I maybe don't remember ever having been taught. And then suddenly I realized that like I was being given vocabulary that I couldn't ever use, you know, and like phrases that you'll never use. Yeah, just doesn't make any sense to me that you should be learning stuff that that gets you by. I think some of the other or maybe better, Well, the Chinese one is like my wife likes to study. Literally, it'll say that, I'll teach you how to say that, and it's like I'm a doctor, I'm a lawyer. In Japanese, it's like Bengalshi, which is like I think that's lawyer, and then Yisha's doctor, and it's like tell you know, it's it's funny because it should be relatable. Yeah, I think it's good.
5:20 Yeah, because like voka, you never know when will come up. But learning a language is much different than like how do I get by in a week? There? It tells when when you sign up for a language that you want to learn, It does ask you why you want to learn it for fun or for travel? So I think it does base it off of like what your goal is it like just travel? Yeah, Like where's the bathroom and may I have water? I actually don't know how to say bathroom. You're yeah, I didn't say water though MEAs you could. I say, I'm getting better. It's I'm pretty good. I know how to read it too. I think I do have an affinity for learning languages. I do believe that, because I've always been interested and like pretty fairly good at picking up languages. I don't really tried. I don't really try a lot of things. I don't know. You don't you find that, like if you wanted to, if you liked, if you enjoyed it, you have to take language at some point in school. It took every my school.
6:17 You take it every single year. That's the bathroom. Oh thank you. Uh yeah, you have to take it. You have to take it every single year, and up until like seventh grade you have to take both Spanish and German. Yeah, so take Hala language. But I feel like if you enjoyed it genuinely or intrinsically, yeah, yeah, you would just kind of drift towards it. Yeah, I don't know, because I I I do enjoy it, Like I also want to learn Korean. I don't know. I just I want to go to Korea. I think it's fun in Singapore. Yeah, Singapore looks crazy. Singapore does look Crazyanda is that where? But it looks like it. It's just supposed to be like like the most like cleanest, highest tech country in the world. Right them are like maybe Dubai, Yeah looks crazy. Go to Ferrari Land. Yeah. Yeah, they're doing like a e sports island. They're doing tons of yeah, and like, uh, I think it's in Saudi Arabia. They're doing tons of shit, they do hell of fights. They're just throwing money. I think they like sports. Saudi Arabia. Yeah, are you going to go there? Maybe? Our buddy Shirley says it was cool. He is really cool, and he says it's not as expensive as people think that if you like caught up in like the tourist shit it is. But I love I would love for you to travel internationally. I'm then a couple of places, but not a ton just home. Was the last time? Uh Canada?
7:42 When was that twenty eighteen? Dam yeah twenty eighteen. Maybe get out twenty eighteen. Probably I just got my passport. Oh shit too, she's legal, she's legal and moving. Yeah, you'll be close to uh. I assume this is an announcement podcast eventually, but you'll be close to uh Bahamas and shit Bahamas. That's international. Yeah, I will be on the East coast. I'll be closer to New York. Sneaking to Cuba, I don't know about that. I would love to go to Cuba. Cuba. Same is it? How do you sneak in your law island, isn't it? The law has changed like every fucking six months, So who knows when we're allowed to go or not. Like a couple of years ago you were allowed to go, and then now it's like students only here or whatever the shit.
8:24 But you find a way, or you fly to Mexico and then you fly over or something. You're maybe if you're not going directly, I think it's the deal. Yeah, Oh, you could go before if you weren't going directly, if you knew how to do it. You had to go through one of the other islands, and then they tick you by boat over there and you're unducumented while you're down and there's like celebrity passes. Is that where murders happened? No? I think that's a little bit propagandazed. I mean it like anywhere else. I think there's good parts and bad parts. Like people say that about Jamaica, Like if you're a white person and you're kidding, I'm not important enough to get murdered whatever. No, I don't know. I don't know if they murder important people think they murder murder iun suspecting people. But like if you go off like some tourists stuff and you head into the streets, you might get robbed. Haiti's obviously in a weird spot. It all just depends by time period, you know, Like what's going on. I think Jamaica mostly pretty good. I've heard Cuba is actually pretty safe, like a lot of Canadians that people go there. Yeah, it's just like America kind of propagandize, is it because of our history?
9:22 What's keeping you from traveling internationally right now? Money and work? Okay, so assuming that wasn't, assuming that was squared away with their year, Where are you going to go? And are you taking? Who are you taking? I do want to do Argentina again because I was too young to like care. I'm definitely young enough to remember. It was like an eighth grade bring your mom, Yeah, yeah, of course, because I can't like speak the language. And then I don't even know I only know one family down there. She knows, she knows everyone, like she grew up with them. All you gotta go, and then like Japan or somewhere, be cool, Italy, be cool. I don't love travel, though I like it, I don't love it. I know I like it. All Right, you're gonna go to Jamaica. Jamaica. It's just close now close ish to you, probably three hours, four hours. I don't know how much time we'll have to travel. A year is not a lot of time, true, yeah, true, yeah, Like it'll take a few months to even settle in. But find a place though, sick. Yeah, it's a downtown Columbus. Oh there was a place where, considering that was more like West Sacramento, a little more away from things, surrounded by suburbs.
10:30 But uh so downtown Columbus. Columbus Georgia Columbus Georgia, not Columbus, Ohio. Hi. Yeah, or Christopher Okay, actually Columbus Georgia is named after Christopher Columbus. No it is. I looked it up. I believe it. I think all Columbuses. You think, so, what are the Columbus is there COLUMBI I don't know what if I just like the name, I don't think that works that way. There's gonna be a town obby maybe just wait, maybe in Creole when you visit Korea, I don't know. No, you said you were gonna learn Koreans. I want to, I said, I'm like, I I can pick it up, I think if I wanted to. But yeah, the downtown area is pretty cool. It's like a lot of brick buildings. It used to be some like textile mill town because it's right next to the Chattahoochee River. Isn't that funny? Like it's an actual name? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, so it would be next to the river, which is kind of cool. That has like an eight plus mile like river walk. We love to walk downtown. We've always loved living downtown Sacramento. So there will be things to do there.
11:43 I won't have a car initially when I'm there, so it'll be nice to be walkable distance to things to explore and stuff. Does it look like a lot of people live downtown? They just like, I don't know. Open some newer apartment buildings, which is the ones that we're looking to stay in so maybe yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure. We'll see stay tuned on my vlog channel. Yeah. I do want to vlog the whole trip though, because it's going to be like a three four day like road trip. Yeah, not that there's going to be much, but it could be. We're driving through so many states, so you could stop and do cool ship maybe yeah, or at least like for the mems. You know, looking back, I'm the me, memories me. You really didn't know what I thought. You're saying memes or something. I don't know what you memories.
12:35 See. That might be the cool new way to say memes. That's what I thought, the memory. I'm alright with that. You're still a gen z D. I don't know what you would say. No, I didn't know what Apple TV was. That's because you're didgted to TikTok gen z I tried to be addicted to TikTok. I didn't care for it. Yeah, it feels like it's slowly grown out out of popularity because you can see crazier sh on x and Instagram onto the next Instagram's crazy Instagram it is. I don't know what you'd be wanting you'd be watching like, I don't watch it, you're watching the street. Yeah, that shit pops up for sure. Yeah it goes crazy. You have that degenerate like activity. Yeah. No, there's just like weird ship like they're doing, uh because they bend the rules that happened on Twitch first like years ago, where they would ban like any kind of nudity, right because they're trying to keep it like PG.
13:30 But then you're allowed to wear a bathing suit when you're at the ocean, right because if you want to vlog the ocean or something or liveshore the ocean, you're cool. So then like these chicks would grab inflatable pools from Walmart and put in their room so they could have their yiddies out. You know what the heck because you're getting yeah, you're getting more views with the yiddies out. So then now like Instagram is doing the same thing, right, So like Instagram is trying to be like, I guess, for lack of a better term, woke and be like, oh, like breastfeedings natural on all this. So then these women are grabbing fake babies, are doing AI covers of babies that have their tits out fake babies. Yeah, how many have you watched? None? Okay, I read articles, I'm smart.
14:16 Okay, Yeah, he got Playboy for the articles. He's doing the research. They got their yitties out and then with a fake baby suckle in it, so then they can sell their only fans. That's terrible. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, it's going to be a loophole for everything. Yeah, that's what you get from making these dumb rules. You know, either let yitties out or don't let yitt He's out, not like if when? What? Maybe? Yeah, I don't know. I don't know either. I'm not seeing that. So while we're making announcements, this is going to be late by the time by this episode comes out. But the the Oakland A's are indeed playing in Sacramento for three years. That is a done deal.
14:56 Yess what I read? WHOA where at a release or whatever? Stadium Sutter Health part Wow? Yeah yeah yeah, twenty five through twenty seven, maybe maybe longer. What do you mean twenty five through years? Twenty twenty five through twenty twenty seven, that's a lot of years. Yeah, so you gotta build a stadium, oh twenty seven. I don't know why I was taking thirty seven. Ok. I don't like that's your ten year plan. Yeah, adulthood, but it's I mean, I don't even have a ten hour plan. But the Las Vegas still could still fall apart. Yeah, I mean hypothetically, anything could fall apart. But yeah, it's kind of you know, it's it's not a fifty to fifty even thing. It's certainly not one hundred percent thing that's good for Sacramento though, right, Yeah, it should be good. Yeah, it should be another interesting development.
15:48 This is speculative, but it makes sense. You guys know the big lot that's down the street from US here at the corner of Third and Capital, Yeah, by the freeway entrance, by the break you kind of yes, okay, And before the economic downturn in two thousand and eight, CalPERS, which is the giant state agency that I do know that building the retirement thing is just right down the street from US here. They were going to build two residential towers there there. We're going to be like the tallest skyscrapers in Sacramento. The lot right on the corner, right on the corner. Yeah, so like just a few blocks from here. Yep, Cowpers sold that property to the Miwok Indian tribe. We got a casino coming looks that way.
16:36 They're not, they're not, they're not saying that now, but one hundred percent that I hear. I hear that the latest compact with the with the US makes it nearly impossible for states or cities to walk that to block. Yeah, I mean I do think there's like hard rock. I mean, even the hard rock here is pretty close. Yeah, because the rules used to be like a certain mileage away or on your land or whatever. But like thunder Valleys our main one, and that's surrounded by housing now, like back in the day that was like twenty minutes from a house. I think it's the only way that anything's ever going to get built in that space. Yeah, or a giant hotel company, right if a Marriott or somebody really wants to go crazy. But ultimately it'll take a few years to build because they haven't really planned anything yet. But like that will help Sacramento get the best NBA All Star Game at some point, yeah, because you'd imagine it'll have a hotel in it. Yeah, it probably will be I don't know, maybe ten fifteen story hotel. Yeah, yeah, maybe more.
17:34 That would be cool. It could be it's growing, it could be going. Yeah, I think because like Miami, I think has a hard rock downtown. The hard Rock in Vegas is I think it's owned by the Marongo tribe. Interesting, Yeah, not by the Yeah, I mean they're operating under a license from Nevada. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably all different. In Novata. I saw I saw a video from the inside of one of the suits the other yeah, a couple of days ago, because a friend was staying there at the hard rock. Yeah. In Vegas it's older, right or no? No, Oh, I don't think so. I think it's that old foosball table in the suite just late. Yeah. I went to our hard rock near the end of COVID, but it was like late at night, so I didn't like explore that much. It was cool.
18:26 It's kind of small. I've never been. It's not Farests, like half an hour north, maybe a little less. They're a thunder Valley casino buffets open again. Have you been. I've been when I was younger. It's good. It's not Vegas good, but it's good. I want to go to the one and Ol Grove too. River My mom loves ska river one of the buffet. There's good. She's like, let's go get burgers at the casino. Okay, it is kind of cool McDonald's. Okay, yeah, whether you gamble or not, like casinos do are kind of cool because very least is like people watching, you know, yeah, I don't. Oh my god. They make it like a maze so you can't leave correct, which when I went with my mom, it was exactly that, Like she was like a moth drawn delight everywhere we turned trying to leave this place.
19:14 I was genuinely like I don't like it here. Like we're playing and she's like just trying to let me have some fun or whatever, and I'm like I don't just pressing a button over and over and then we run out of money and she's like it's okay here and I'm like I don't even want to play, and she is like addicted to it. Clear, you need to clear that mood, you you know, you need like good energy while pressing positivity. That's crazy. Once I'm done with this money, she just puts more in the machine and she's like so detached to reality. And then it's like all these lights and all these your doorphins are just you know, firing away and you turn around and you look and everyone is just like zombie in there. That's regular life, though it is crazy. And then like, okay, let's leave now over an hour. We're not supposed to say for that long. And then yeah, we're trying to head out and she's like, wait, look at this one. This one's almost gonna like it's almost there, like let's just try it. And I'm like, uh, okay, And that was what it was like before we left. We like probably stop by five war machines. I'm like, this is horrendous. You gotta sample them. I hate it. It's the same thing in real world though, Like even walking through the gym and Pops, I'll look around and they'll be fucking ten kids just staring at their phone. I'm like, what the fuck's going on? Yeah, that's not great, but we're in the gym at least, and they're in the gym. Well there, at least you got a chance to make money. No you know, no tanking.
20:32 And then you go to them, you go and get some more money at the other machine to put it into this machine, and then it's just like this back and forth and then people are bringing you drinks and yeah, free drinks. Baby, It's I don't know. I was really sad in there, but buffets are goods are really good. The like giant fountains are fucking disappearing in Vegas. I think they're gonna build them all fountains anyone that dance, right, Yeah, But at the same time you showed me that they're they're building an ocean. An ocean. Yeah, I don't know. It's supposed to be like a beach they can't get rid of. It's going crazy, bro, They're building a Silicon valley. Hollywood two point zero was already being built. That's why I have faith with the A's just like so much movement is like real. It's not like just talk like Mark Wahlberg talked about moving a Hollywood there, and he's already dug ground, Like it's going moving Hollywood there. Yeah, he wants to because he is part of at least a production studio or something. So he's just going to build his offices there.
21:36 And Vegas is all about it because they don't have any like side industry besides tourism, so like, oh, can we build something more solid that's going to be entertainment or going to be tech. Well, I mean that's the thing for we've certainly talked about this before, like if you get a casino a few blocks downtown here with a hotel casino and and you know, if the if you could get the a's to stick around or whatever. There's just we lost a lot of traffic down here now do the pandemic and people when I'm working from home, Ye, like you have to backfill that with industry stuff or sometime core dies for some reason to come here. So it seems like it's moving in the right direction in this construction everywhere there really is. Yeah, And I always just say, like whoever's doing like a ten million dollar apartment building or whatever project, like they're crunching numbers way beyond my knowledge, right, So if they have faith to throw their ten million in here, then you feel good about Yeah, there's probably a decent idea and there's multiple people doing it. That's exciting though. Yeah, it should be good for the city hopefully, Like I already enjoy living in Sacramento. Unfortunately you have to leave, but it'll be cool to see like where it goes.
22:42 Yeah, you can visit it. Yeah, then who knows what twelve months looks like. Yeah, maybe you'll live in oh true Cuba, No, definitely not. I don't know. Man looks pretty sick. It does look cool. You just travel like nineteen forties cars everywhere, Ladies in sundresses, smiling, dancing. There's just good music everywhere you go. It's like the Winna Vista Social Club everywhere. Yeah, what is that it's a movie about Oh, it's a documentary about jazz in Cuba. I see, is that your paradise? Is that? What? I don't know, just like because it's like without the Internet, it was like such a mystery since like the sixties and the Cuban missile crisis, you know, so like growing up, it's a little bit of a mystical land. Yeah, I don't think.
23:33 I you know, I'm sure it's like any other island in that area where there's some very very not nice parts, you know, just because important obviously they're under a certain regime that might have limited how well their country did for a long long time. But I'll bit you't school. I've bit you at school. I'm sure it's nice. Yeah, I'm sure there's cool parts, fast and furious fucking eighteen has a scene in there in Cuba. Yeah, I think so, just one scene. Yeah, I think an opening scene. They race down there. I don't know if they're trying to imply dom Touretto's fucking Cuban like Latin. Yeah mmm, I don't know much about Cuba. I don't plan on visiting. No, she got it's cool.
24:15 One of my favorite UFC fighters from there. I don't have time. That's vacation time. Bro, you're telling me, you're telling me to fly to fuck in China. Yeah, I do want you to get out? Yeah me too, Yeah, me too, get out. China would be cool. I'd go to China. China is really big, use I feel like there's so many different parts of China that are very different depending on where it is. But I don't know. I don't even know where I would go. I don't even think my mom likes to go. What do you want to go to China? I just have bar take me? Like yeah, maybe so. I think all this family is still on you like nice things like Singapore. Singapore China is not like that. Really. I think Wan's probably cool, right, I think Taiwan's cool. It's a nicer city see Ray right, or Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah right, that's probably fucking but it's more like, yeah, I think it's a little older. It's not like it's cool and like bustling, like I mean, what you hear about Singapore is crazy, you know, like Singapore literally does look like Wakanda. Yeah, you'll be putting gum on the ground. You're doing five years in prison and ship that's my style.
25:22 That is your say yeah fuck yeah. It is Vegas, like the version of that on the West. It's weird. Vegas has like a weird double edged sword out there. You know. I do feel like, uh, not to dive into politics, but like if you were to like draw up a city that's like libertarian, that's pretty Vegas, which I like. But yeah, each area is so different there too, you know. But it does feel free, which is nice. Have you discovered anything new about Vegas? Not a ton. I don't do much. Yeah, you are literally on the outskirts. Yeah a Vegas there weren't a month on yes, yeah. And you don't go in for food food, yeah, you want to sound like a scavenger hunting, Yeah, going to like the nicest restaurants.
26:12 Yeah, there's good food. Are you exploring different food places? Yeah for sure. Okay, yeah, their food really does crush it. Sacramento does good, but there are just like huge gaps in our resume out here, that's true, but our gaps are fewer than a lot of places, like the entire Midwest. No, it didn't compare to the entire nation. I mean, Vegas, you could argue, is the best food place in the entire nation. So to compare its rough, sacrament is pretty good. No, it's really good. But like if you're saying the best in America, it's got to be La Vegas, New York or Miami, like hands down, just because they have so much big cities. Yeah, and uh so to even put Sacramento in the conversations will win. You compare us to even poor land of Seattle, medium level city, and we crush. But we just like we don't have like an Italian spot that like absolutely rips. We don't have a steakhouse that like totally rips. Live big garden, where's that?
27:03 I got it? Sorry, dude, I got bad man, Yeah, I got bad man. I like a little olive garden, not even like yeah, I've never been there. It's very mediocre. Damn, it's like half not going there. It's like a large portion of all of gardening. I eat it. It's not like bad, You're not gonna throw up. But a kid, I've always driven by it, and I'm like, no, you should go. Yeah, you should go. You should definitely go. It feels like they're purposely making a fun of Italians. Almost. Is it's still there? I'm not even sure is it? Yeah, it's still there, Jonathan. Remember told me there's a fucking bang and Sushi and Arden. Now we gotta go to Well, you can eat where I have always sketchy about. It's always sketchy, like or you can eat food sushi.
27:51 It depends where you go in the style. I think it got up here. Fifty just opened and I think, uh, you order it and they bring it out, which makes me feel less sketchy. Okay, yeah they they It just replaced the Maccoonie that was in in the Arden mall and that moved to where Borders used to be. Everything's gone over there. Urban roots or urban outfitters is gone. The movie theater's gone, and Nobles the movie theaters crunch. Yeah, I think it's it's a Crunch now, which it would be cool if they kept it kind of movie theater like the one we were talking about one in San Francisco. Yeah, that would be late. It's so weird. Was that one in San Francisco? It was all dimly lit like it's like, I like that. It's like in a in a zombie apocalypse movie. I do want to do. H have you seen the gym? I haven't seen the inside of the Crancisco we're talking no no, So it's like an old school like opera house. And I don't know if it's Planet Fitness or Crunch. So the hell is running Crunch? So like you look up and you know, it looks like a mezzanine type vibe and they just kept it all and built it into a gym. It's so creepy. There's a big trend online. I thought about Abby and us filming.
28:59 Maybe we have to sneak one in before you leave. Where they're doing, uh like one star rated something and then a five star rated something and reviewing them both. Oh my god. So like some people they're getting interesting with it. So someone did just in and out because some of them are one star to see what the burger the service, which because like the service is probably trashed and the manager's trash. So they went and did that. Yeah, one on Polk Street. Yeah, I think sick. Yeah, Daniel was because he was there for rotation. Yeah, and he was looking at gym's around there just for a lookie. Yeah, or do Yeah, like a one star gym and a five star gym, a one star McDonald's and a five star McDonald's and then you review them both. I think it's cool. I think it's a cool concept. One star gas station, five star gas station was something you don't want. Yeah, maybe we guy doing Nevada, I hate it. No, I love that idea, one star in and out for five starting out. I just on Instagram where guys are doing more long form content with it. But the uh, it was like little stuff like the meal. The five star was busier and he's see, got his meal two minutes quicker and more put together, and the fries were fresh, and the one star was like kind of empty and it was still slower and worse. Interesting. Yeah, He's like the burger was about the same, but he said the fries were worse and the service was slower.
30:15 And then like the the general like look at the place was worse, like the soda machines leaking and ship yea, what is this in and out one star versus star in and out? It takes too long to eat your food. I think in general inside his time was eight minutes. It's a long time at a food at a one star and in six minutes at a five star. I mean their lines are always just packed. Yeah, chick ful. I feel bad for the workers. Well, then they're making twenty bucks, a yea, might make them more. Yeah, I think they're making because when I was in high school, they were making like fifteen. Well it's twenty now by state law as of a couple of days ago. They're not making more while they're making twenty at least twenty. Yeahah, that's what I'm saying. I bet you just food minimum wages twenty. I bet you ended out's making like twenty five thirty because when I was in high school, minimum wage was like nine bucks and they were making fifteen an hour in and out. They've always paid Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I couldn't do it. I worked at Chipotle for a little bit, and when I got out to know that in college. In college my second year. Oh today, happy Burrito Day. Yeah, bro, I think it's a bogo at Chipotle. We're having Bogo lunch and to Burrito's cheap meal. No, I swear because I send you guys all the snack shit on Instagram. I explore pages. Now, Yeah, less dogs in crypto and more food that's that's not good. Yeah, And it's all these like yeah, a couple, a couple of yiddies and then there's a yeah. It's it's like,
31:48 uh, yesterday was a day too. I forgot what it was. But today it had six different restaurants that are doing burrito deals and Chipotle I think is a buy one get one day. You know what else I saw? Now they're on the fast food and I love food in and out and select spots are doing a chicken sandwich yeah limited time. Yeah, but I don't I don't want them to do that. It looked good, it looked good. I'll try it, but like I would try it for I've been in and out in ages i've been in a while. I do like it though, and it was good. It's consistent enough, and I had a bad fast food experience yesterday However, I was out and about and I thought, you know what would be really tasty right now is a frosty from Wendy's.
32:34 I haven't had that in a while. Wendy is good. So I get into the usually there aren't that many Inzac period, and so I go to the one that's not very far from my house and I order a chocolate frosty because your only other option is like orange creamsickle. Now, yeah, Vanilla's gone. They have paused vanilla and they have brought in the usurper racist orange creamsickle. I like orange creamsicle. I'm not a fan at all. Anyway, So I get up there and I pay. Well, I'm starting to pay, and she number one reads me the wrong of total. No, yeah's wrong total yeah, And so it's like sixteen bucks. I was like, I'll pass. I'm not I don't need, you know, a sixteen dollars frosty, and she's, oh, no, it's wrong. So she hands it to me with a straw and she says, we're out of spoons fire. I'm like, what, yeah, we're out of spoons. I said, if you had said that when I ordered, I wouldn't have ordered this. I would have backed out and driven away, because a frosty with a normal straw is like an exercise. You're like, it's like you're trying to resuscitate it, you know what, it's like mewing, you're mewing out.
33:55 I've never had a you mew No, I thought you were about your physical fitness and album. No, I don't do that. You do never mind, never crazy, you know I'm doing it right now. Okay, but look, I've never had a frosty really, so yeah, I was like, I don't know. It's like soft served. It's not that solid. If you couldn't, it's like blizzarded. You could probably use a fork then, right, cool, Well they didn't offer me a fort They're not for anything anything but a fucking straw. And like, and here's the thing.
34:35 They overfilled it and so the lid is floating. You should have asked for free fries. Oh, and then you're saying, since you fucked up, you give me some fries. Wow. If the fries were hot enough, I could put them next to the frosty melted enough, I could suck it through the regular straw. One of my favorite parts of high school basketball. There's a million cool things that we did in my coach and team and all the school shit. But our league was so small that our opponents were ways spread out, right, Like normally you're playing in your region because there's enough schools of similar size, but we're so small, Like we drew deep into Folesome, We drove into Colfax, We drove all the way down to Vackville South sack We drive probably the biggest ever. But the cool thing about that is each team we played, and I played four years of varsity, that there would be like a food that we'd go to every single time that you wouldn't normally go to. So like that Wendy's you went to when we played Country Day was that post meal game. We play a Country Day and then we always go to wendy So at least once a year, I'm having Wendy's. Otherwise you're not. You know, you don't really choose Wendy's because you don't see them that often, and you're gonna drive through in and out at McDonald's because they're on every corner. Or yeah, in and out was a common one just because the freeways. But I remember going to that Wendy's at least. Oh yeah, I try to go to like each state's whatever they're known for, a fast feed places. Yeah, as we drive by, for sure. Yeah, yeah, like Checkers and shit, we don't have that, right, we don't have Checkers. I bet you like Phoenix or someone. We're looking at grocery stores near Columbus because downtown and you know,
36:05 like in downtown Sacramento, not a lot of grocery store. Yeah, trying to see, like what grocery stores we have next to us, and we have piggly Wigglies, like I've heard of it. At least it's not the wind Dixie. What is that? It's another grocery store in the south w I n N. I mean you'll probably a waffle house. You'll probably have some I think checkers. What is it steak and shake? Yes, there's that steak and shake. Low Key's all right, we do have a steak and Sestak and shakes, all right. I've had an Sam's Club. There might be a Whole Foods or something. Now. Yeah, it's like a fresh Mart market, which reminds me of nugget based on the photos, a nicer supermarket nuggets. So nice nuggets. One of the nicest markets.
36:47 It really is definitely overpriced, but probably one of the nicer markets I've ever been to. Great experience. Yeah, it kind of reminds me of the old Whole Foods. I've still never been to Whole Foods ever. Yeah, they're all right now, but back in the day, Whole Foods were fucking sick. It was really sick. Where did they get worse or did Amazon bottom? So they try to make it more affordable and it's still good, but back in the day it was so cool. There's that. I know when we were down in Olkrove the other day having by the way, having really amazing sushi, and I thought it was as good as as Crew. I never had thought it was as good as Crew. I've never had Crew. You gotta get Crew. First of all, we should go. Bill's on you. Speaking of Bill, he's like the chef owner at Crewe and he's a finalist for James Beard Award. Yeah, top top five. That's insane. So I'm like, damn, now I really gotta go. I have been once with Chris. Chris is like really good friends with Bill, the owner chef, so he will just go in like he goes to Crew, just randomly freaking a few times a month. I do know the guys like tapped in locally, like it's friends with Josh Emmitt and some of the local guys, which is cool. I think that's cool, like kind of the point of being a local business owner right now. Yeah, like tap in the Vein. I mean I've been a couple of times. I will say the presentation is different, but the what I ate was amazing. The other night, No, it was good. But there's an Amazon Fresh just like across the parking lot there. Where did you go? Where we went?
38:21 Where we went? Oh? Okay, okay? Our staff dinner the other night. Raw shout at the homies at raw shout out the bench. Yeah. Sushi is another one that in sack because everyone points to Crewe. But other than that, like like a mid level daily sushi, we don't really have Kiinjo. Kiinjo is a hand roll place. It's good, it's close, it's close by the Pokey Homies opening spot a little bit south. Might as well announce it too. I've been emailing them. They're going to give Third Street members ten percent off, which is cool. That's cool. Yeah, and so maybe they'll be good half off first day for anybody who's close by and have to be listening, and if they see a good amount of members, they can increase them. Yeah percentag Yeah probably. You always love to try some. Yeah, I don't need a lot of Sushir poky because of that. That's why the all you can eat sounds good. I'm gonna go tomorrow. I think we're crew to that poky place. I don't think it's open soft opening tomorrow. I thought it was the eighteenth. Maybe that's the grand opening. Yeah, grand open. Yeah, soft opening is usually at least a week. So am I invited to soft opening or is that secret? I don't know. I'm sure people can just go. Sure, I'll go. Okay, yeah, buggets go, let's go. H I knew crew too. Yeah. I feel like most food has an upper limit of taste. Yeah, and then it's just presentation and service, right, Like Morton's is like a pretty good steak, but like it's just that they're on you, you know, for whatever you need. Yeah, which is which is cool but also annoying because you can't. You get tired of saying I'm fine, I'm fine. I can't be fine. But like, yeah, those places, that's all. You know, Vegas, you get
39:53 a little more food, but a lot of it is just like experience. Food can only be so insane. Yeah, it depends. I don't know. Some people like Heidi Allow is a chain hot pot place, and their service is like immaculate. You know, they give you like aprons, and then they will give the females like or people with long hair hair ties. And there's underneath the table there is a shelf for your phone that also has a charger. There's a lot of like fancy bougie things. And but I don't know, like in terms of food like cost to cost ratio, like it's more expensive because of that experience. Sure, and I think I prefer just like a mediocre customer service but with really good food. Yeah. Yeah, that's where you go like yeah, hold the wall, mom and pop.
40:42 Yeah, that was kind of like the Bordain thing, right, Like he's not going to like Michelan places all the time. You try to find like what's local. Yeah, but that's what Sack has good for sure. Sack has that for sure where you're gonna get a pretty cool fucking meal. Maybe it's something slightly unique about it. There's an awesome can place in a shitty neighborhood like North Watt. Yeah, see stuff like that. That's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, I don't know, we'll see. I feel like I've been spoiled with the food here. Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna have like much less options. I do. I feel like I will because i'll be work from home as well. I'm just gonna do online coaching. But I think i'll get better at cooking. Yeah. Probably there's gonna have more time to like explore. Yeah, and they'll be they'll be good food.
41:25 But yeah, it's probably be limited in cultures. Yeah, I got to visit Atlanta for their good food. I think there's like good Korean food. I'm sure Atlanta's packed. In Atlanta, I've never been, but I mean it's La size, like you'll be all right, it's not, but it's close. I'll show you. Yeah, I go for the log I mean, my wife says, like, I don't have an interesting going to Atlanta, so that sounds like a trip that I'm going to take without her. But I've heard of school. I've heard there. It's like super different, like it's got the hood of hoods, but it's got like Hollywood esque areas. It's got a lot of like coffee hipster esque areas. Tyler Perry's thing there. Yeah, I don't know Tyler Perry worries me in George just some place he's got like aggressive studio complex. Yeah, bet he does, probably right next to our Kelly R. Kelly's was out there too, AV.
42:10 Do you have a heart at it? Ten? Do I have a hard out a client? Oh? Yeah, I do have a client. Okay, I have a question. I'm going to turn this on its head, but we don't have to talk about it for very long. This could have been a one. Should we wrap it and then we could? Yeah? One good question we can Yeah, wrap up? Avy. Now you're coaching, you're moving away. Can you please at least pretend to accept clients that are listening? Okay, I will be accepting clients online clients. Yeah, team ass at a v dot lou on Instagram. She could be busy. M Yeah, she's driving across country settling in. But we're very lucky to have her. We're not going to get too deep into it because she's gonna cry. Yeah, I cry, but we'll say that for another one.
