Hello. Snap, I didn't mean to hit myself with the face of the microphone.
So you're going to hear like a bunch of buzzing from me moving my mic because we are not professionals.
We have the equipment. We just don't know how to use it. Sometimes that is accurate.
We just show up and talk to each other. And we're here for you guys. Yeah. Just, you know,
for your for your entertainment and pleasure. Yeah. Yeah. We can be like the Chick-fil-A workers.
It's my pleasure. My pleasure. It really is my pleasure for real. Oh, 100%. It's my favorite
day of the week. But like if I worked at Chick-fil-A, it really wouldn't be my pleasure.
Hell no. And they just make you say that. It wouldn't be my pleasure. It's my pleasure to do this,
though. This is very fun. So Sarah's got an FMK. I think we're just going to jump right in. Yeah.
So I figured a good FMK would be some local Birmingham restaurants. All right. So Tasty
Town. OK. Costas. Cost. OK. OK. These are very. Yeah. OK. You know what I'm doing.
Tasty Town, Costas and Pita Stop. Pita Stop. OK. Kill Pita Stop. Fuck Tasty Town and Mary
Costas. Same. Yeah. Costas is our boo. Hell yeah. We haven't been in a minute. We need to go.
We haven't. We'll go. Let's go before we go to New York. OK. That'll. I mean, we need to go because
remember we went there. OK. So the day we didn't. We hadn't started recording yet. No. Well, we had
recorded on our phones. Yeah. But it was like test run. We haven't. We're just trying to figure out
like if we could have actual conversation that was like semi funny at least. And like it flowed and
we weren't staring at each other like, OK, what's next? Yeah. Like, were we going to be like dumb
or is this movie? Yeah. Sound like idiots before he sent money on equipment. And we sent it to like my dad
and to some other people. And like Justin was there and he was like, this is so good.
And my dad was like, oh my God, it sounds. It was a really good like little episode. It was like a 10
minute. Oh yeah. 15 minutes. Something like that. Yeah. We talked about wine. Yes, we did. We recorded
it in your kitchen on my phone or your phone and drank wine while we did. Yeah. Anyway, so but we
went to Costas. So we went to go get that thing. That's the last time we went. No, no, no. We went
with Andy. Yes, we did. We went with Andy. When was that? That was in February. OK, that was in
December. No, because it was for Costco and stands for Santana's wedding. It was in January then.
Yeah, like early January. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I forgot about that. OK, well, that was the last
time we went to Costas. Costas is like a I wouldn't I don't know what you call it Mediterranean
or like Greek Greek slash Mediterranean. It is so good. They have Pestizio. Yeah, I was like
tiramisu. I was calling it and I was like they have that too. I think I need to send you the video
that I sent Jessica the other day was a TikTok. So like whenever I do that for you, I have to like
either screen record myself and watch the whole thing or I have to like save the video and like
let it download to my actual phone before I can send it to you. I didn't realize you had to do that.
Thanks. Yeah, but I saw this guy make Pestizio and it was the noodles were wild. But is it as good as
I don't know. I don't know. I've had some bad Pestizio before. So we're doing for supper club
in October. We're doing a Greek food festival. I didn't actually get in there, but I saw it come.
I saw Leanne's Leanne's thing today come across my front screen and I was like, oh, that sounds so
good. But I've had Pestizio over there before and it wasn't as good as Costa's and Costa's Pestizio.
Like I don't know. Is it nutmeg in the sauce or something? It is amazing. Yes, it is. And their
moussaka is too. I've never had their moussaka. Well, the moussaka at Tasty Town does not even
come close. But what is so good that we like to Tasty Town? The hummus. I don't remember what I
got. I think I got Pestizio and I got some type of weird drink that they made for me. I like Tasty
Town. Like I would go back 100%. I don't hate it. I like their appetizers a lot. I didn't hate it.
I can't remember what the hell else we had. I don't remember what I got. Yeah. Pestizio probably.
It was good because I've been wanting to go back. Yeah. But Costa's for the win. Yeah. But the only
thing about Costa's is that it takes forever. There's the same servers and the dude is like
sweating his, you know what, off the entire time. Because he's working. He's working so hard. Yeah.
So hard. They work so hard. And it's only like two or three of them. Yeah. And it's just like,
oh my God. And they're packed always. Yes. And except for like at the end of the night. But
basically they're still packed then. But I mean, it is some of the best food. It's in an old,
like what was like a freaking Shoney's or something like that. Is that what it was? Yeah. That's,
I don't know if it was that specifically, but it is like, it looks like an old like Asian restaurant
or something. I thought it was like a pizza hut or something like that. You know what I mean?
Like it was something like that. But it's been around for years. Something with a buffet. Yes.
Or like TGI Fridays or something. I can't remember. But it's so good. It's so good that Brandon and I
even decided that the Friday before we get married at the farm, we are going to, so our parents can
meet each other first and all that stuff. But we're going to have Costas catered at my parents'
house the night before. Oh, so they haven't met each other yet? No. And they're going to meet each
other like the day before the wedding? Yes. How are we going to do that? Don and Mitch don't live
here. Oh, that's right. I have four parents to consider. What if they hate each other?
Good thing they're not marrying each other. Nobody said this has to be a group freaking holiday. I
mean for crying out loud, Don and Charles don't get together unless some shit's going on with us.
So I mean, you know, not my pig, not my farm. Well, so they all better behave themselves. Wait,
so y'all are having it catered or y'all are going there? We're having it catered. No, we are not
going there. We had it catered for Christmas last year. Yeah. It was good. So I did. I was going to
say that the only thing. Yeah. Go ahead. I thought I'd only had the Pesizio because that's what I
always order. Yeah. But I have had, what did we get? Like chicken fettuccine or chicken alfredo.
Chicken alfredo and lasagna. And they were both good. The lasagna is fire. Yeah. But I like their
moussaka too. Their bread. Oh gosh. Oh yeah. And the salad. Yeah. And their blue cheese in their
ranch. Oh my God. Their blue cheese and ranch. Holy macaroni. Oh, it's like homemade. I know. Man,
I want to go. Too bad we're recording right now. I was going to say too bad we're recording right
now. It's not the perfect time to go too. Brandon would be so mad. He would be like, I'll meet you there.
Just take him to the go box. Oh man. Yeah. But yeah, that first time. So when we first
started, we were looking for equipment. Yep. Then we went and had the greatest dinner ever.
Right. Yeah. It's good stuff. It was fun. Yeah. Good memories. It's coming up on our year anniversary.
Yes, it is. Yeah. Are you excited? Yeah. I mean, to sit here and say that we have stuck it out for
52 weeks. Yeah. I mean, working full-time jobs, having real lives, though, for us to stick it out
and make the commitment to one another, to this podcast, and to y'all feels really good. Yeah,
it does. Hope you guys have enjoyed it. If you haven't, let us know. But send us an email at
thickafpodcast.gmail.com, or you can send us a message on Instagram, thickafpodcast. So have you
heard about the changes that Lyft has made? No. So Lyft, you have heard about the changes? No,
I haven't. Okay. So Lyft, I think it was today or yesterday, they decided to change, to make a change
to where you can request, so like if you're a female or a not, I think it's non-binary, and I
could be saying this wrong. This is just how I remember hearing it on the news. So don't get me,
don't like throw me under the bus or like put me, burn me at the stake. If you can request a woman
or a non-binary person to be your driver. I like it. And I think, I don't know for sure, but I was
thinking about this. I think that you can also request, the driver can request to only have female
or non-binary passengers, I think. But, so my thing was, I was thinking about it and I don't know,
I haven't read their policy. I just heard it on the news. And then, but I was thinking about it
and I was like, so could a man go in their app and say, I only want women, driver or passengers?
Or could a man, like if I were a man, could I request only a woman driver? Like that's kind of
sexist a little bit. And I don't know, it's like a borderline. It's like, okay, we're trying to
protect people because they have had so many incidents, but then it's like, okay, so it's
kind of screwing over dudes. Dude drivers and dude passengers. You know what I mean? Because like,
how are you going to get a ride? I don't think there's as many, there's not as many male or
female drivers as there are male drivers, first of all. And they're trying to change that. They're
trying to up that, which I think this will help.
I don't know enough about it because this is all news to me or whatever, but I understand
what they're trying to do and completely agree with that. I would be curious to know
exactly what you've just said if men also have that choice, because if men are trying to change
that, I sincerely hope that what they're trying to do is helpful and doesn't become hurtful.
Right, right, right. And I'm sure they thought that through before they've implemented this.
Because if I thought about it immediately, somebody that is at this corporation that's
a CEO should have thought about these things. They have teams of people that vet stuff before
they implement. But also, it does make me wonder because what if you're a dude and you're trying
to get a ride and there's only female drivers? Or what if you're a dude driver and there's only
female passengers and they don't want you to ride with them? So does it pop up and say,
sorry, we don't have any female drivers. Are you okay with riding with this male driver?
I don't know. I've never had any issues really with any Uber or Lyft drivers or whatever.
I really haven't either. But that being said, there are a ton of incidents that have been reported
for a lot of these places and it's kind of scary. I think there was a murder wasn't there?
At one point. Yeah, I mean, it's like not so great. It essentially is saying that they're
changing this because an alarming number of women reported preferring a female driver.
And so it looks like they are trying to allow women and folks that are non-binary to
match with women and or non-binary drivers more frequently than they would with a male driver.
But they can still opt to have a male driver if there's not a female driver around locally.
So initial preference, yes, I would like a female driver. If no one's around,
they can still choose to take a ride. So it's not going to, I guess maybe in a sense that you said,
cut down the number of rides that male drivers give to folks because of that preference.
But I think it's what like, you know, primary preference and then, okay, if that's not available,
then you can choose. So my thing about Uber and Lyft and all these ride share services is that
you can get a rating. All right. And then the driver can pick you, but a driver gets a rating
too, but we can't pick our driver. So like if it shows up and it says, oh, they only have a two star
rating, I know I get it. I think that the apps or whatever will not give them any rides, but if
there's nobody else who's going to give the ride, if they have a really bad rating and they've had
these things, so then how can I say, no, I don't want to ride with that person without getting a
fee for canceling? You know what I mean? Yeah. I don't know. Well, maybe this preemptive setting
will lower that, I guess. And I don't know. I haven't taken a Lyft in a while, but-
Lately have not. I used to take Ubers and Lyfts all the time and it's been a hot minute because
you pick me up all the time. Everybody picks me up. She's the quintessential passenger princess.
And it's nice to be picked up, but I don't know. Ubers are expensive. And last time I took one,
I think it was from Rose and DJ's house and it was like $70 or something crazy. Yeah. Because it was
like in the middle of the night. Oh my God. It was that night that you and Brandon, we all went over
there and then DJ's mom was there. Oh yeah. And y'all left and I stayed and I ended up getting an
Uber. It was really bad. And oh, and there have been some weird situations. Did I tell you about
the Uber driver? I think it was Uber. You said that you thought somebody was in the trunk. Oh my God.
I was texting everybody. I said the first time, okay. So this first one, this was how-
No, this was a different night. So this different, but that night was a bad one too.
So the first night that I had this weird Uber was the girl was talking about, telling me about how
she had a boyfriend who was a, what are they called when they, a mortician, not a mortician.
Oh my God. And the- A medical examiner?
And like an autopsy person. A medical examiner?
No, medical examiner is not- The bomber? No, no. It's a, oh my God, what is it called?
Girl, I don't know. When you work in the morgue.
It's like the, anyways, whatever it is, whatever the name is, I'm going to think of it later. And
it's going to be like, so he was like one of those. You're talking about when they examine their body,
when they're dead. Yeah. And it's not a medical examiner.
It's an autopsy though. Yeah. But that is the procedure is the autopsy,
but what is the person's name that does that? I thought the medical examiner had to do it.
Yes. No, it's not called a medical examiner. It's something, it's a different name,
but anyway, so he does whatever he does with the, with the bodies. And she was telling me all this
stuff and I swear to God, I'm sitting in the back seat and her car is not that great, by the way.
It felt like somebody was kicking the back seat of the, of the car, of the-
A pathologist? Of the car.
No, that's, that's a- That's too typical.
Anyway, I don't know. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
The coroner? That would be a coroner. That's different.
That would be the person that- Oh my gosh.
Okay. He, okay. Skip all that. It doesn't matter.
Okay. This felt like somebody was kicking the back of my seat. And I probably still have the
messages and the girl was talking about how, oh yeah, he had a dead bodies and blah, blah, blah,
and this and that. And I was like, what? And she said, yeah, it started getting weird and stuff.
And she cried in the car on the way back and I'm like drunk in the back seat and I'm just like,
oh my God, somebody's kicking the back. I swear. It felt like maybe she had a bowling ball in the
back and it kept rolling through the front and hitting me. But it was, it was like somebody was
kicking the back of my bag from the seat. You didn't call 911.
No, but I text everybody just in case. I gave them my location too, I think.
And I was just like, whatever. So then, okay, so that one happened. That was a weird one.
And then the next time I'm not so drunk that I, I mean, I couldn't drive obviously, but I wasn't
like so drunk that I was like, oh, I think that first time I might've been a little tipsier than
normal. But the second time I get in the car and this guy, I think I have screenshots of it
somewhere. They're way back from a while back. And he has in his, I don't exactly remember exactly
what it said, but it said something in his profile about like how he played with bodies
or something like that or mess with bodies. And then he, he started talking.
His Uber profile?
Yes. It was like, and then people were commenting on it.
Why did you get in the car?
Well, I didn't look at it before I was in the car. I was after I was in there and he started
talking. He started talking to me and I was like, what? And he was talking to weird stuff to me
about like, like dead bot, dead things. And I don't know. And I honestly can't remember
cause I think I was drunk in that one too. A problem might've been drunk in that one.
And I am texting the group. Were you not, you weren't in it. Cause you had gone home that night.
I was texting Rose and everybody and I was like, Oh my God. And I sent them a screenshot of the
Uber profile from Rose and DJ's house. That was the night that you and Brandon took me. Yeah.
And I was like, Oh my God. Oh my God. I mean, whatever. I got home and it was fine, but like
people are weird. People are so weird. Anyway. So, um, did you know that Taylor Swift won a bunch of
VMAs? Yes. Video, video music awards. I didn't know how many she won, but I've been seeing, um,
a lot of like Tik Toks and stuff about like videos of her being there. I think she won nine,
but I might be wrong. I mean, nobody should be surprised at that. Tied the record record
for the biggest VMA hall in one night. I wonder who the other person is. Who do you think it is?
I don't know. Like Olivia Rodrigo or, um, yeah. So I don't know. I think that's amazing. I really
liked Taylor Swift. I don't know if you, I don't think you really like her, but I think- I do not
like her. I just am not like a Swifty. I'm not, I mean, I wouldn't call myself a Swifty, but I would
call myself a Taylor Swift fan. Yeah. You get excited when like she has new music and I,
yeah, I do. I get excited after I've heard it and like it. Well, that's how you are with everything.
Duh. Well, I don't know, maybe like restaurants, you get excited. Oh, there's a new restaurant.
Yeah. And then you get excited before and then you go and you're like, uh, I don't know if I like
this or not. Well, I- You can't tell last place. Well, I just, okay, listen, that was a different
story. I got upset about that one because I had been there before when I was living in Cleveland.
There was one there. And so like, I had already experienced it and it was just so much different
this time when we went back. It's different like, okay, so, so much difference because you didn't,
you got sick from this one or like different, like the whole thing was different. The whole thing was
different. I also tell us the differences. Their menu was different. This is Condado, is that how
you say it? Condado, yeah. Their menu was different. They didn't have as many like
margarita flavors. They didn't have margarita flights. And that was what like $20 for three or
four different kinds of margaritas. They didn't really? No. Well, I didn't even look at the
margaritas because- I know. No, I did not. Unless I missed it because I, I don't know, it was a very
weird supper club for me. Like very, I don't know. It was a weird supper club for me too.
But in a different way for- Yes. Than you. And I think you knew that. I was like, oh no. I kept
looking at you like, and you were like, I know. I know. And then you left and I was like, what am
I going to do? Well, I felt like I was just bouncing my eyeballs back between like very
different weird conversations or something. And then- Well, we sat in the middle and you were
like, is it okay to sit in the middle? I was like, I'm sitting in the middle. And then me sitting in
the middle like made me, I was like left out of the conversations because like after you left,
we had like Lisa and Natalie were on my side and they kept having a conversation. I couldn't hear
them. And then, cause it was so loud in there. It was. And then we had the other four people over
there and I kept trying to get in that conversation. And I just, I finally, I just like was like sitting
there just like staring at my empty plate. Well, I need to put a disclaimer out there because I
think a lot of things that we've said tonight elude that I leave a lot of things all the time. Wait,
what did we, what else did we say? When I left you at Rose and DJ's at the Supper Club. Oh, well,
she doesn't normally leave Supper Club early, but she does like to go home early. I don't like to go
home early. If Brandon has to work, then I have to go home. Like I don't have to go home, but like
I'm going to go home. I'm not going to like, I don't know, stay out and get an Uber home. I'm just
not. Why would I not ride home with my man? And then as far as Supper Club goes, yes, y'all, I had
to leave early because I thought I was dying from food poisoning or something. I had to go home.
Yeah. It happened like real fast. And then, yeah, no, we won't talk about it. Oh my God, it was horrible.
I mean, we can talk about it if you want to. I had to leave because I thought I was going to shit my
pants. Well, you didn't have to say that, but basically that's what happened. And then afterwards,
Jessica didn't feel good and she brought tacos to her husband and he didn't feel good either.
And I was kind of weird feeling, but I think it was just because I'm weird.
I don't think I got sick like y'all did. It all could have been like, I don't know. What's it called?
Munchausen by proxy. It's called like a hypochondria. Like I'm scared. Everybody else feels bad. I'm
going to feel bad. I was like, I think I'm feeling bad, but I don't, I had like really bad. Okay. So
it wasn't gas that I was farting, but it was like, I felt like gas was trapped in my rib cage.
I don't know. I did not feel good. I had to come home and just sit still, just sit still. Yeah. I
hate that feeling. I hate that. That's the worst. It was awful. Cause it's just not fun. You can't
even like enjoy yourself watching TV. Cause you're just like focused on sitting the fuck still.
Yeah. So Sarah leaves early all the time. It's okay. I shut the front door twice. I didn't even
realize we said that, but no, like, and I didn't even know that Brandon had to work the next day
from that other one. Y'all were just like, we got to go. And I was like, okay, I'm getting my stuff.
And you're like, no, you can stay. And I was like, okay. Well, I mean, you didn't have to stay.
Well, I didn't. I stayed. And then we had fun. I was mad at Emily that night. Cause she was telling
me how to park my fucking car and I was pissed. Were you really still mad at me? No. Probably.
I know. Jesus. Lord have mercy. Oh. So we're getting a new amphitheater and I didn't read
the article, but from what I, I just didn't read the article and I'm going to talk about it. What's
it going to be called? Um, I don't know, but they're partnering with live nation and it's going to be
north of protective stadium. So I can't tell exactly like where it's going to go. We're
at Caroway hospital probably. Yeah. That's what I heard. So, um, I guess I heard they were putting
something over there, but I didn't know it was that. Yeah. And that's good. But it is.
Yeah. So we've got, we'll have protective stadium and then we'll have top golf and then we'll have
the amphitheater. Yeah. But the amphitheater is a little bit away. It's a little bit away.
It's a little bit away from there. Well, it's like a couple of months, maybe a mile or two,
but not like right next, like you're not going to be able to utilize the parking there
to get there. Like they'll have to have their own parking situation. I mean, surely they'll have
their own parking situation, but I don't know. I mean, it's not that far, but it's not, it's not
like you could probably still walk. Okay. If you, but I don't know. And then I think they're trying
to make it walking distance kind of stuff. Everything all walking downtown because they
have all the walking stuff. So I don't know, I could be wrong, but I think that, I mean,
it's close enough that it's just in between there. It's not like they're going to, it's going to
change. And I kind of feel bad because I think there's a lot of people over there. It's going to
be gentrified essentially. And yeah, there's a lot of industry going that way. Um, Caraway hospital
is a very old hospital. I don't even know when it closed. It closed like a long time ago and it's
basically probably had homeless people living in it. There's probably dead bodies in there. I swear.
I think people probably like kill people and put them in there because that place, have you ever
driven by it? Only like once in the last 10 years. I used to have to drive by it like when they would
just, I would drive by it a lot. And it's just, the windows were all busted out. I mean, it's just like,
it's sketchy over there. It was nasty and they just left it up and it just looked like really
bad part of town. And not, I don't know if it's a bad part of town, but like it looked like a bad
part of town. But it's right there by the inner. So it's like, you kind of like, it's right before
you get to like 65, like the exit over there. So that's good. So it's easy access for like out,
out of towners. And then it's easy access like off of 280, like you just go down 31 or whatever
and just pop up right over there. So, yeah. Well, if they make it anything like the Orion, then we're
in business. The Orion. Yeah. I hope so. I hope it's like that because I really like it there.
Yeah. That's exciting because I'm not a huge fan of Oak Mountain. I think it's, it's too far, number
one, for me to drive and be able to drink or whatever. So like if I drive, I don't want to,
you know, drink and drive home. So that's why I get chauffeured. But you know, I get to for anyways,
an Uber costs a lot to get. And then you can't ever get an Uber over there, but downtown,
you could probably get an Uber easier or at least walk a couple of blocks and, and get right,
catch one from there. Exactly. So, I mean, and it's, it's probably 10, 10 minutes to downtown from my
house. So probably add a couple more minutes onto it instead of like 25 minutes to go to
Oak Mountain for me. So, yeah, I don't know. I like it. I know. So we have something else coming too.
Um, and in Pepper Place, so also downtown, um, they are the people who own Melt are creating this
new spot called the Burrow and it is supposed to have some additional restaurants and businesses
right in there. And one, two of the restaurants, um, two restaurants, one venue at the Burrow and
one of them is called, um, the Lucky Lobster. So I don't know anything about that, but it's
Wait, so the Burrow and the Lucky Lobster, doesn't the Lucky Lobster sound like that place that y'all
went to eat you and Melanie went to eat? What was it called? Like the Lucky Crab or something
or the Crabby Crab or, um, shit. You know what I'm talking about though. Melanie kept calling it
the Krusty Krab, but that's not what it is. I think it was called the Crazy Lobster. Oh, Crazy Lobster.
It's similar. Yeah. The Lucky Lobster. And then the other place that's going to be in there is a
place called Sandy Jeans. Um, so three places. No, the Burrow I think is like the concept and I think
these things are going to exist within that space. Okay. Um, and, uh, Sandy Jeans is going to be like
southern style barbecue. So is it like sit down restaurants or is it kind of like, um, what's that
little building, the, the posits where you go in and it's like, um, you get the food and then you
kind of hang around. By the look of things, it's like a building that has like, you know, windowed
garage doors on it or whatever. So I think it's going to be sit down. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Nice. So I think that'll,
I think that's good. I mean, I, I, you know, love when new stuff, especially for supper club,
when new stuff comes, you know, for us to try and so that makes it fun. But I mean, I'm glad that,
you know, Birmingham is growing up. I wish more of it would come out my way, but I understand it
being centrally located in downtown. Yeah, I agree. I mean, my, like I used to live downtown and I
loved it and I'm jealous that all these things are being, are popping up or whatever. And
it makes me sad because I used to go down there all the time. And now I'm like,
the only time I go is like a doctor's appointment. I'm like, okay. The only time I go is when we go
for supper club or somebody has, we haven't gone down there in a long time. We really haven't.
So, but I don't know. I'm excited. I love downtown, downtown, like cities are my boo. I mean,
I do love the country too, but like, I also really love the city. It's kind of funny because back
when I was going downtown a lot, I was like taxiing or Ubering or whatever. And now that I don't find
it like completely necessary to get shit faced every time I go out in public, I still don't go
downtown. I'm driving myself. It would cost so much less money for me to go downtown now
than it ever did taking an Uber or cab or whatever. Well, because you're not going,
you're not wanting to go out and like go to like the bar, you know, or to like a club. Not that
there's really many clubs, but I saw, I was driving down there to my doctor's appointment the other
day and they had, I think it was Luxe ultra lounge. You remember that place? Oh yeah. It's over there
by cookout. Is that where work play used to be? No, workplace still there. Is it though? Are you
sure? I thought workplace shut down, but maybe I'm wrong. I think they don't get the concerts that
they used to have, but I do think that they still have some events there and things like that.
Okay, cool. Well, Luxe ultra lounge has burned it to the ground. No way. Yeah. I mean, not to the
ground, but like, cause the frame is still kind of there, but it is burned. I think we pass out
when we go to good dog and stuff. Probably. I don't know. You get off the exit. It's just right there
like off third, fourth avenue, whatever that is. Yeah. Crazy. I was like driving. I was like, whoa,
what happened to Luxe ultra lounge? I've never been there. No, but I just figured either they're
trying to collect insurance money, which is what I always think about when there's a fire or like
somebody got really drunk and like lit a beer, but I'm not a beer, but a liquor bottle on fire
and like it caught, it's like wildfire everywhere. I mean, it is burnt. I mean, like the, it was,
looks like the fire department didn't get there for a minute. It's bad. So yeah. I don't know
about that. It is gone, honey. I just Googled it. Cause of fire is still unknown. Yeah. On August
21st in like the wee hours of the morning, I guess. And Google even says temporarily closed. So
apparently they have not released a statement as far as what happened. That's been like three or
four weeks now. That's wild. I am such a bad person. Anytime I see any building that burns down,
I'm like, how does a building burn down? Like, especially a place like that. Usually they have
to have sprinklers in place and stuff like that. So I'm like, and have them checked regularly. So
something like that doesn't happen. I'm like, how does that happen? Unless, and I just in my head,
and I don't know where this came from. And I know that this probably didn't happen. And I feel like
I'm being a, you know what for saying it, but like, are they, are you sure they're not trying to
collect insurance money is my thing. Like, which is not the first thing that would pop into my mind,
but just like, it wasn't for you when I talked about being scared of going to the bank. Oh my
God. Sarah told me the other day, did we talk about this? Oh yeah. So did, did I talk about how
when I had to go to the bank, I was like, had to go get my debit card or whatever. Cause I got
scammed how I went in and I was like, I didn't get, I didn't get a rob, the bank didn't get robbed.
Okay. Yeah. So she finally got to go into the bank to get her new debit card and sent me a snap
afterward or while she was there, first of all, and was like, nobody looks suspicious. Don't be
suspicious. Don't be suspicious.
But then she sent me another one and she was like, I came out alive. I'm good to go.
It was really quick. They were really nice. Oh, and then the guy that worked there, he was like,
are you from Decatur? And I'm like, yeah. And he's like, oh my, I think it's his fiance or his wife
is from there. And I was like, oh, that's cool. Did you know her? No, I don't remember her name
sounded familiar and I don't even remember it now, but I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
But I think she probably was younger than me potentially. Or maybe older. I don't know. I
get age, like when I look at people now, I don't even know. I feel like now, which I mean, granted
I haven't been in a long time, but when I'm at a place that is like meant to be a bar or whatever
and you see these like what look to be tiny children drinking beer, I'm like, oh my God,
that kid is 12. Why are they drinking beer? Oh my God. I saw a girl. I went to Belk the other day.
I think it's Belk, whatever is up at the summit, Belk. And I'm like walking through and this little
girl that looks like she's about 13 is painting the columns. Like she's got it blocked off like
in the by the makeup and she is painting the walls. And I was like, are you old? Do you like,
are you old enough to be working? I think they have child laborers. Seriously, I was like, what
the hell? But she's just probably like 20. I know. Is that not wild though to think about? Like
for real though, like when we were 21, we thought we were so old and so grown up and whatever. And
now I'm like, you're a child. I still feel like a child. It's 9 30. I still feel like a child.
Like, oh, you think that it's 8 30? No. Oh, I was like it's only 8 30 right now. When you see them
at the bar at like 11 o'clock, you're like, it's past your bedtime. Get out of here. I know. I
used to love to go to like neon moon and then like, I can't do it anymore. I really loved it.
And I went there. I would go to what's that place next door that has such good food?
Bamboo or not bamboo. The other west east west. Oh, so good. And then I would go to neon moon. So
like for my birthday, I don't know what I did for my birthday this year, but the year before I didn't
do anything for birthday this year. Last year I went there and yes, you did something for your
birthday. You went to dinner with your parents. Yeah. On like that Wednesday and then I got sick.
Yeah. Yeah. It was bad. So, um, but no, I like, I went to east west and then I would go there for
like everything. And I love doing that. It was like my favorite because you just walk next door.
I love that. I hate to like get in the car, go back, park somewhere else, get somewhere. And then
everybody's tired by the time you get done. It's like, no, I want to like eat and then go.
That's why we need to live somewhere that's like more walkable even. Well, even more walkable than
downtown though. Yeah. I know. I wish that my condos would cut a sidewalk between here and, um,
Martin's barbecue, like through the woods. Like the ranch dressing. I just don't want to go
run into a coyote back there. Cause I mean, they're all over the place or a snake, but no,
I don't like, I don't like Martin's really. I'm not a big Martin's and their ranch isn't good either.
I want it to cut through so I can walk to Cajaba Heights and then be walkable around there. What's
the one that you like their ranch? Oh, I like that one. It's, uh, my chicken, right? It's a chicken
place. It's Waldo's Waldo's chicken and beer. Yeah. They have good ranch. They have very good
ranch. They have good food. Is it better than costas? It might be. They're tied for a tie for the win.
I think. Oh, wow. I've never been, I must have to go get Waldo's now so I can judge it.
So, okay. So I was listening to Howard Stern this morning about the VMAs and somebody called in and
I was half asleep and half awake. And I'm pretty sure that they said that Taylor Swift had it,
had her titties out in her outfit, like her nip, you could see her nipples in her outfit.
Do you not think that is correct? Um, it was somebody, I'm going to Google it, Taylor Swift's
VMA outfit because like if you could. It was a fucking black dress. Was it a dude that said that?
Was it a black dress? Did you look at it already? Was it a what? Was it a dude that said that? I
thought you said a Jew. I was like, what? No. Like no, not because they're religious. They're
like seeing titties. They're like, oh, titties. Oh my God. It was a dude called in that was like,
didn't you see her titties? And, and then Howard and Robin were both like, no, we didn't even watch
it. Um, who was it that had her titties out? It had to have been her. Okay. So it was Emily.
Emily Radikowski. Yeah. So maybe that's funny. This is Taylor Swift. You can't see no nipple.
I was like, there's no way that Taylor Swift would do that. Absolutely freaking not. And the
whole time I'm like, first of all, she didn't have any titties and it would be like a dude
wearing a shirt. Also whoever that is. Who's that? She's got, that looks like Lil Kim from back in the day.
I don't know her name. Tinashe or something? Oh, that's a girl. I like her. I don't know her.
Oh, she has like a vagina. She has like duct tape on her vagina and her, her nipples. That's gross.
Is that, is it other than, yeah, that's Tinashe or Tinashe. Um, I really like Cardi B's dress.
It's a very cute. Can you show it to me? Yes. Let me make it bigger. It looks like metal or something.
You don't like it? I do. Um, not for me. That's I mean, I wouldn't either, but I like it. It's
VMAs though. Yeah. That's the thing. It's like, it's VMAs. Oh, look. So BB Rexha has like this dress
with her butt cheeks and a tail. She looks like a horse. It looks like assless chaps and a horse tail.
Why is there a, you love that? Would you wear the horse tail? Is that her butthole hair?
Yes, Emily. Her butthole hair is as long as a horse. And she, it's different. The carpet does
not match the drapes guys. It's a black, it's a black butthole hair and blonde hair. You had to stop.
Carol G is the lady who you showed me before, but I can't see her nipples. Emily Ratajkowski's are
the only nipples that I see. It must have been. Or Megan the stallion, but I don't see her nipples
either. Yeah. So it was not Taylor Swift. I was half asleep. Oh, Carol G. Yeah. She's got sort of
nipples. Oh, Doja Cat. Was it Doja Cat though? They had to blur out her nips in that one.
It looks like she's wearing a spiderweb. I think they were probably talking about Emily Ratajkowski
because I think that Howard likes her. Oh no, that doesn't, you can't really see her nipples for sure.
I mean, it kind of. Howard was saying. What the fuck did he have to say? So he was just like,
I mean, he was like, yeah, that's cool. He was like, you can get on this website. I forgot what
the website is. It's like websites. It's a website for where you can go see like pictures of naked
celebrities or something like that, or like where they have like a nip slip or something like that.
And he's like, yeah, I mean, like I'll get on there sometimes. And like he was like, you know,
these they'll have a picture like this with a sheer shirt where you can see their nipples.
And he's like, I mean, that doesn't really get me excited. Like, I don't know why people get so
excited about that. It's like, you can't even see their boobs. They're still wearing clothes.
So basically he didn't care. So I don't know. Free the nipple. That's all I have to say. I mean,
I don't think that we should free the nipple. I think we should just like, like, I don't think
they should free the dick either, you know, but I also don't think that dude should show their
nipples either. Like if a dude's nipple is hanging out, I mean, in the bathing suit is fine, whatever.
But like when they're showing their nipple, like if dudes got like a cutoff shirt, I'm like, I want
to be like, and touch it like nipple nip slip. It would be if I did it, but I would never do that.
But that's what I want to do. Cause if it's especially if they're like hard or something,
it's like, did anything. Like why is your nipple hanging out of your shirt? Why do you even have
that shirt on if your nipples are hanging out? Because they don't have breasts. But why become
a societal norm and okay for a man's nipple to hang out. Why do they need to wear that shirt with a cutoff
sleeves that goes down? It's like, it's a piece of cloth. I'm sure they were going to the gym and
maybe the gym won't let them come in there topless. Do you want their sweat all over your machines at
the gym? I don't. I mean, look, when I get sit down, oh, somebody said this the other day on something
where they got up from something and they had a little bit of butt sweat from their thing. And I'm
like, listen, I could, it could be a 60 degrees inside and I could sit down on that sounds really
bad. But when I go to the gym and I'm working out, if I sit down and I get up, there is a, there's
like a, like a half moon, two half moons, one on each side, like touching each other, two touching
half moons of butt sweat. But it's not like, it's not like a glob. It's just like a little tiny.
And it goes away very quickly. Well, I mean, it's natural, whatever. I feel like maybe people with
smaller butts, it doesn't happen to, Oh my God. Yeah. Right. Everybody has a butt sweat. Who cares?
Anyway, so I went to the gym today and when I got back, I needed to take a shower before I came over
here. I really needed to wash my hair. It was terrible. And so I start to like get undressed
or whatever. And I'm having like Brandon, like pull up my legging legs or whatever to get them.
Cause I'm sweaty and he's pulling up your legging legs. No, pulling my leggings from the bottom,
like on my feet to like get them off or whatever. Cause like I'm sweaty. So it's all stuck to me.
Why was he pulling them off of you? Cause I couldn't get them off of my legs. Leave me alone.
Cause you couldn't reach down there and get them. I wanted to do minimal damn work. I didn't even
shave my legs. Cause I was like, I can't stand one legged right now. It's terrible. So then I was
like, Oh my God, I just realized I wore underwear to the gym. I'm never wearing. He was like, um,
you don't wear underwear. I was like, not really. Not in these pants. Not usually. And he just
looked at me for a second. Like, I don't, I feel like I don't even know you.
I don't know. Sometimes a lot of like, I'm wearing them right now, but sometimes they,
they like are annoying, but then sometimes they're not. But you don't wear a thong britches. I wore
a thong to the gym. You were a thong to the, yes. I haven't worn a thong in a hot minute.
The only time I wear a thong is if it's with, if I'm going out to the neon moon and to the club,
you might make out with somebody. Well, but at that point, I'm just like, I don't care if you see my
granny panties. Um, no, no, for real. I'm not trying to know if I make out with somebody,
they ain't gonna see my panties. And I haven't made out with somebody in a very long time. Okay.
So, um, y'all, we need to get Emily laid. Stop. No, we don't. I'm a virgin. Virgin Emily.
Um, so what am I trying to talk about? Oh, gym. No. Why? I can't believe you did that. No,
I don't even wear it. Like, did you wear a thong like today before you went to the gym or did you?
Yes, that was the clothes that I had on today. Like while I was working.
Why would you wear that? I don't know. Do you normally wear thongs? No, I normally don't wear
underwear with my yoga pants. No, like, do you normally wear thongs like on a daily basis?
It depends on what I have on with jeans. Yeah. Like I have full underwear on right now. I have
granny panties on right now. Right. But like, where would you wear a thong to? Like, would you?
Okay. My, I'm just like baffled. Obviously I'm kind of speechless. I would wear a thong.
In a tennis skirt? Yeah. Why? Because the shorts aren't thick enough, I feel like, to
cover my coochie. I don't know. But why would you wear the thong though?
Because I don't like full butt underwear. I got a big ass and all they do is ride up the middle
anyways. Why don't I just start with a thong? Oh, no, I don't. The thong just goes, keeps going.
It's like a harder wedgie to get out. Absolutely not. It just sits there.
I disagree on that. So, so I'm just trying to understand like you work from home
and you put on some clothes, you would wear a thong because you're worried about some, either
the way it feels or like the way it looks. Like would you wear it because are you wearing it
because of the way it looks? No, not while I'm at home. I just so happened to put a thong on today.
I can't tell you why. Okay, gotcha. I don't care if I have a panty line. If you think free the
panty line, free the panty line. That is, yep, yep, that's it. That's it right there. Free the
panty line. If you can't handle my panty line, then you have issues. Free the freaking panty line.
But seriously, like, I'm sorry. But like that one day Brandon came over and I don't know this. I
said I'm sorry first and I'm not really sorry. But like then I thought about this. Brandon came
over here and his panties were hanging out and it was like, it was like the opposite way, but it was
like kind of like Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera with her thong coming out of their low
ass jeans back in the 2000s. Oh my God. Remember those? Brandon, these were the bottom on his thighs
coming out of his shorts, not the up top coming out of his butt crack. I know, but it was the opposite of that.
It was the opposite of that. So it's like, okay, free the panty line. Or Brandon. If you're worried.
And listen. He got long legs, honey. No, I wasn't saying it was bad. I was just like, Brandon, I see your
panties. I know. And it wasn't, it was weird. It was just like black, like underwear underneath. He calls them
compression shorts. And that for the life of me, I haven't figured out why he calls them that because
there are compression shorts, but those are your under britches, sir. Those are briefs, boxer briefs.
Yes, a hundred percent. So, and he always calls them compression shorts and it takes way longer to say that.
Those were not compression because those weren't even really tight. They were like not that tight.
Compression shorts would be like. But they are that material though. Oh yeah. They're just like boxer
briefs in neoprene or whatever the hell. Yes, I agree with you. Not neoprene, but you know, like legging material.
Anyways. Yeah. I have no idea what we've even talked about this whole episode. So except for
we have a title. Free the panties. That's all that matters. I don't know. There's a new iPhone, the
iPhone 15 and they released it. Have you looked at the changes? No. What? Who are you? So there's a new
iPhone and they are changing the charger again. No fucking way. Yes. And they're changing it to the
USB-C. Isn't that what it's called? In the bottom of it. Yeah. So the one that they have for everything
will not. So it's going to be USB-C to USB-C. Well, I was, I don't know. I'm assuming. Yeah. It's going to be
USB-C on the bottom of your phone. So you don't, yeah. You need a new charger, but you should, I don't know.
Yes, but apparently that is the same charger that all these other phones like Android and other places
are using. So it's going to be, yeah, it's going to be more of a universal. And I think they're kind of, but also a lot of
like the new speakers that like Brandon and I both got there, they were USB-C charged too. So I mean,
I have that already, which is nice, but like, of course. Well, we can thank the UK. I think it's the UK
somebody somewhere over there. They had like a thing where they are forcing, basically forcing
Apple's hand and telling them, Hey, you have to do this. And Apple was pissed off about it because
they don't want to be told they have to do something, but they're not able to sell it unless they have
it's like a law or something. I'm not sure. Could be just a regulation. I wonder if it's better for like
their electricity or something. No, I think it's just like, stop making us buy all these chargers.
Like this is ridiculous. And it's, it's also creating like you're having to buy so many chargers and,
and it's bad for the environment. I feel like that's interesting that the UK has that kind of
like consumerism pull as opposed to us. So I don't know, but so they did say that if, but if you,
if you do get rid of your charger, they said, keep your charger, cause you know, you might need it for
something else, but if not, if you don't keep your charger, you can recycle them and they have,
they'll have like a number or something where you can call in and they'll like send you something.
There's companies and stuff that will, cause there's copper and like certain things inside of it that
they can recycle and reuse and it's better for the environment. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Yeah. So
save the environment. All right. I'm going to try this. Okay. You got it. All right guys.
