Speaker 1 (01:47):
Have you shopped at Cracker Barrel, Y's experience.
Speaker 2 (01:50):

Cracker Barrel of them is because when I wrote a
fried chicken book, they sold my Fried Chicken book.

you are pretty much. Oh yeah, we go, here, we go.
We have a new audience every day, you have to
that's lately, you can't keep them. I'm sure you have.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A new audience every day. I mean really, I listened
to the show myself. No wonder you have new audience
every day.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I know you for that, little bitch. Okay, here's the thing.
Lee Shweger not only is a dear friend, but also
he brings us every year these incredible events. Of course,
the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and here in
New York, the New York City Wine and Food Festival.
And we have been a part of that incredible institutions
for so many years. But for some reason, several years
have gone by. We were on vacation while he was
doing his festival. This year, we're back. The planets are
(03:51):
lining up and we could not thank you enough and
we cannot be more proud to be a part of
the New York City Winding Food Festival. This year.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Thank you. I wish I could say the same. So
we are so excited to have all you guys back
on Friday, October seventeenth. We are finally doing a karaoke contest.
Has anyone thought about how we're doing it or what
we're doing?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Ok?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Figured you figure it out. I have ideas. Yes, so
we should be able to throw food at people when
they're bad at karaoke. Oh my god, I love that. Yes,
rotten tomatoes, rotten ones, that is a fun idea.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, no, I have doubts. No, no, no, I love
that idea I have. I had a food fight on
a radio show years ago and we got yelled at
by people said, you know, you really could feed people with.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It, And you're right, And since we used to benefit
a hunger Cause for many years, we won't do that.
But what we will do is we'll put it what's
that like, a velcrow down on the floor, and after
that we'll make a rat tattooy or a tomato sauce.
It's a five second rule.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Only just use old, rotten vegetables that are really grown.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I am really excited. I have been practicing for karaoke night,
which tickets happened to be on and sale today, really,

you wondering where this.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I still I could.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Tell people who you are, because no one knows who
you are pretty much. Oh yeah, we go, here, we go.
We have a new audience every day, you have to
that's lately, you can't keep them. I'm sure you have.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
A new audience every day. I mean really, I listened
to the show myself. No wonder you have new audience
every day.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
I know you for that, little bitch. Okay, here's the thing.
Lee Shweger not only is a dear friend, but also
he brings us every year these incredible events. Of course,
the South Beach Wine and Food Festival and here in
New York, the New York City Wine and Food Festival.
And we have been a part of that incredible institutions
for so many years. But for some reason, several years
have gone by. We were on vacation while he was
doing his festival. This year, we're back. The planets are
(03:51):
lining up and we could not thank you enough and
we cannot be more proud to be a part of
the New York City Winding Food Festival. This year.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Thank you. I wish I could say the same. So
we are so excited to have all you guys back
on Friday, October seventeenth. We are finally doing a karaoke contest.
Has anyone thought about how we're doing it or what
we're doing?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Ok?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Figured you figure it out. I have ideas. Yes, so
we should be able to throw food at people when
they're bad at karaoke. Oh my god, I love that. Yes,
rotten tomatoes, rotten ones, that is a fun idea.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, no, I have doubts. No, no, no, I love
that idea I have. I had a food fight on
a radio show years ago and we got yelled at
by people said, you know, you really could feed people with.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
It, And you're right, And since we used to benefit
a hunger Cause for many years, we won't do that.
But what we will do is we'll put it what's
that like, a velcrow down on the floor, and after
that we'll make a rat tattooy or a tomato sauce.
It's a five second rule.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Only just use old, rotten vegetables that are really grown.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I am really excited. I have been practicing for karaoke night,
which tickets happened to be on and sale today, really,
which is the only reason I'm here, the only reason
I was invited in because tickets are in sale today,
