criticism has been that guy in the first episode, Bob.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, wait was that story I told about him?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Was that recorded? No, So this would be a good
introduction to what I do. I guess when we were
first starting our blog, why I value would love this
is like two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight.
The whole thing back in that day was there was
no news alternative. There was Morning Call, Express Times that
was it. Well FMZ of course, and then like a
couple other smaller ones. So we're gonna be like the
anti new So there would be news, we would take
(02:02):
a paragraph or two and then make fun of it
in whatever aspect.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And so we're trying to like, I don't know, we're
looking on the internet.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
What if people do there's all these best of the
Lee Valley, you know, So again being.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That young mindset.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
We're like, what can we do to flip it on
his head and be funny and at the same time,
so he said, let's do the worst of the Lei Valley. Yeah,
so like what's the worst restaurant? And we did like
a google for I would I gat prepared. I could
find it and maybe I'll send it to you guys.
But he couldn't do it now because it was pretty mean. Yeah,
and there were some restaurants in there that people, you know,
I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I would not do it now.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
But Bob Holder won the Worst the Worst radio talk show.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
He must have hated that and he.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Was so good, but like somebody told him, he got
so mad and then they're like you have to come
on the show. Well he didn't even but like would
you call on the show? And he was like, you
got mad at me? And he didn't quite understand that
we did it because we like we actually liked him
and then the whole thing. But so he was really
mad at us for a while, like, how dare you
say that I'm the worst?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And it's like, Bob, no, you don't. You didn't get
the joke. But that was kind of like one.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Of our first fories in and it But to be honest,
it kind of showed. It's like, oh man, like people
will take notice if you put out stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Should we should be a little careful.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I don't want to have anybody assume me you really
think that you couldn't do that again if you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
What do you think about like restaurant reviews right when
you're in New York City, Like you can go and
bash a restaurant because the odds of you going back
there are really slim, Like in the Lehigh Valley something
like that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Is difficult to do, Like you wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Go trash a restaurant like if you live here because
you would never eat there again?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Or is this not a good look? You know, like
maybe they had an off day or something.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I guess my point is I think it's small enough
that I don't know if the worst of unless it
was done like in the right way, would work, Like.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
If you did a worst of, like what's the worst road?
Not like what's the worst Italian restaurant in Easton?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, let's start were like punching down.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You know it's not nice for sure?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What is the worst Italian restaurant in Easton. I don't
even know. I can't even think of one Italian restaurant
in So this is a good one.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I was at a bad party last night. It will
show you how riveting it was. We were having a
discussion of the worst Burrows in.

Pennsylvania, the worst ever, because you guys really went hard
on this party.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, we're at the casino.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
We're not going to go to the strip club. We're
going to talk about burrows.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And because some of these guys was from Timaqua, right,
which has a reputation of being.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You know, less than Stowar.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Tomack was fine, but it is just like a lot
of these Burrows are like because people get out of
high school, they're like, I never.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
We've both been on that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, we guys have been on and I'll tell you what, Georgie,
you were doing podcasts before anybody who's doing podcasts.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think we're the first podcasts that just didn't stop.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
There were other podcasts, and there are other podcasts, but
we were just the one that said I tried to
lean into it and say, is there any sort of
viable business opportunity here? And then once we started to
work that out a little bit, you know, being consistent
is the most important part. It's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So we do that.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You know, we do social media for companies.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We do ads and video stuff, a little bit of
droning press releases, you know, things like that, traditional things
that are still necessary. We do a lot of local
stuff and it's a lot of fun. And we're very
lucky here right, local, local, local.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We're fortunate to have a.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Business at all, and the fact that we can continue
to do stuff for Leah Valley is just it blows
my mind.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So we're happy to and it's really cool to witness too.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Over the years, I thought of another person that's not
going to listen to this podcast. We can talk about him.
The last time that George and I.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Are you gonna say the last time the George and
I did an event together. There was a certain individual

my nickname?
Speaker 1 (07:35):

of the time I'll put thanks and then just Jay.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Is that weird?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's a little pretentious, don't you think is it?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I mean, it's probably not. It's the stupid about I've
been doing it for a long time. I guess it
doesn't be a little critical. Yeah, it's silly anyway. All
right here ready, question number one? You want me to
ask you first? Right, I can go first this time?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
If you like, am I answering this?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Or what did you asking each other? I think that UH,
doing some thinking the last week that we should allow
the guests to chime in, maybe make it any competition
between the now, well, the guest has always been here
as far as the trivia portions concerned.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The guest is just here to chime in. However, what
I was thinking is we should make it like who
wants to be a Millionaire?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Where it should be like a lifeline, so that if
you can't answer, you go to the other person.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Okay, we should do I'll.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Just chime in.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Okay, that's fine, all right, but we might come to
you and I know the answer. It might get really excited.
Don't ask chat you pt.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Gonna go offline for okay, Right, you're gonna go first
because you were a little sour about it. You can
fucking all right? Here we go music?

Which artists became the youngest solo performer to write, produce,
and record a number one single on the Billboard Hot
one hundred. It happened in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
You're gonna give me choices? No? Oh, come on, I was.
I was told that.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
People can tell me like you're given him too many.
That's beating you in all these games. Yeah, read the
question again. Which artist became the youngest solo performer to write, produce,
and record a number one single on a Hillboard Hot
one hundred. It's a female, Okay, it happened in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Youngster in nineteen ninety. That's a girl.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I want to say something Mariah Carey, but I don't
think she wrote her own stuff. Dude, great, guess you
got it. Most people, you know, I was at a
party it was Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But you seriously, but yeah, I was a lot of.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
People said Madonna or Denny Gibson or Duel you know
what I mean. But my guest, people think of Mariak.
I see when I hear think of Mariah Carey. I
was Mariah Carey like nineteen ninety three, ninety four, being popular.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, but murdered.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I know all this stuff. The song that she won
for was Vision of Love.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Vision of Love song.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, so good job. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm a good guest. Thank you well done.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I think the reason why that came to mind is
because my dad also was a radio personality back in
the day and floated around from station to station to station.
But he was doing like overnights at a station in
Reading called WYCL, which was adult contemporary at the time,
that was pounding those fucking Mariah Carry songs in the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah. My father always used to say growing up that
this there was this young girl, Mariah Carey, and we
didn't know if it was Mariah or Maria Carrey like,
and there was all these like notes about how to
say her name at the radio station. I was at
a party earlier, Like I said earlier before, I'm just
mixing up my words. Anyway, I was at a party earlier,
and I gave my questions to some people, like I
tested them out, and the one girl asked, all right,
(11:07):
it's a female. Is she still like around? Is she
still doing well? I'm like, she's still around, but is
she doing well? I think she's doing She's kind of
a mess. She's choosing to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
We're judging. I'm judging. I'm sorry. Let's go to the
next one.
Speaker 5 (11:25):

named after the Spanish word for little cakes? What popular
Mexican dish traditionally made with corn tortillas is named after

got it again by wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Taco's the right answer questions, it's taco.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Way you did a Mexican food question and the answer
was taco.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That's why I didn't say taco. And it was that easy.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I went to dinner one time with my friend and
his uh, his wife, and she did not like the
way I ordered my tacos. She actually was like offended
and gave me some ship.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Really that's weird, though.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You want to do more about her, I think than
One of my favorite places to get Mexican food in
the Lehigh Valley if you're coming around, is Mexico Lind Sure, yes, anyway,
I ordered them Americanized. Unfortunately I got them with flower tortilla,
with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Traditionally they come went
on a corn tortilla with what's that green stuff? The No,

Whoa You mean to tell me that Lisa and the
porn stars from Easton?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Yes? What? Okay?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So I obviously remember who Lisa Ann is, but I
do not remember the Nail and Palin thing, but I
rememb what she looks like, and now that I think
about it, she definitely does resemble Sarah Palin and I'll
never forget the name of that video. Animal is SuperFect.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Those are the best freaking things ever.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Boomsticks, boom boom sticks? Is it menthol?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's not meno, It's just a nasal stick?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And help me quit vaping?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh good?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
So it's this piece of plastic that I hold up
to my nose and go. And this one smells like tropical.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's like vixed vapor rub.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I saw someone do cocaine on the street corner yesterday
on south side a stoplight and I looked over and
this guy taking his little jar around. He scooped it
out and just put it by cctown Town. Whatever is
it cc Towntown or Seatowntown?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I think it's just seatown cc Towntown. Really see their
logo really throws me off.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Apparently they are banging mpanadas though, Well, yeah, I will
see Seatown.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I love how you saw me with my nasal stick,
and the first thing he thought of is, yeah, I'm
gonna bring up that I saw somebody do cocaine by
the c C Towntown.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yes, Towntown. I'm just doing my best boy. So today, right,
I go to the laundromat. This woman next to me,
she's getting chatty. I had my air pods in and
she kept interrupting me, but she was nice enough whatever. Right,
Usually I go there and there's not a lot of
people there, and I'll listen to music and just kind
of dance around, like kind of like walk around and
wander around because it's usually dead. So she's talking to
(21:56):
me and she taps on my shoulder because I couldn't hear,
and she goes, hey, you could put a body in here.
And I said what, And she goes, you could fit
a body in here, and I go huh. And then
it reminded me of something that happened back in November
December at the laundromat no one was there. Went later
at night and all of a sudden, these cops come
rushing in and I freak out right, And then they
(22:20):
go over to one of the dryers and they open
up the bottom one and there was a guy in there.
The entire time I was like dancing around this laundromat,
there was a guy in there. Somebody must have called. Yeah,
I swear of got in the story of what the
lady said to you today. What a weird fucking thing
to say to somebody. Though you can fit a body
(22:41):
in here.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I'd be like, excuse me, welcome to spark a debate
where Becker and Joel turn one topic. You're doing all
out puff puff, pass off and see who burns out first.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Why don't we just debate stupid shit like what a
flavor of the reader is better.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Cheese? Well, you debate.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Pots or yakos and give actual reason. Okay, last I'm sorry,
I didn't know. We still want to talk about it.
We touched on it last time. We didn't actually get
it because people, when people talk about it, it's a
very surface level. You know, people don't go and talk
about really.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Why I think that I like yacos better because the
dog is a little bit more well done.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's why I don't like it. They definitely have a
shriveled dog.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That's what I was exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
And if you're not in the shrivelled dogs you don't
like Yakos exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, now Pots, I think Pots of Chili is better
than Yakos.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I like how they put the cheese on the bottom,
me too, and like it's it's conveniently there and it's
a little bit of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I got a second. I thought we were debating hot
layers chili. There's Karen who gives a ship about their chili.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
We're talking about hot dogs part of the sandwich.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you're saying if you're you're just having a plain
hot dog nothing on.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It, Well, I mean I get the Yacos hot dog
with everything on it that we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Like, like, is that you're talking about the song?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Oh I thought you were talking about like chili, like
cap of chili from No, No, no, that chili cheese dog.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Okay, sorry, the onions are just objectively better Pots in
my opinion, little details that Yakos are just gonna throw
some dark or what I hot dog at you? What
I ever turned down a Yacko's Absolutely not. I feel
there's options at Yakos too.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I feel like blessed that we have so many hot
dog options. Try a yach Yako's burger if you haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's so good and it's.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Way better than you think it should be.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Their cheese steaks too, all great, but.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I was like, what the heck? How have I never
had a Yacko's burger?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And it's way better than.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Should have been.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Their cheese steak is like the size of an iPhone.
It's not very big, but it's got a bunch of bean.
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It's good to slap them together.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So the obvious winner is Pots, right.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I think we want Pots. I just in terms of taste.
I just feel like it.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
But then there's people it's fine, they'll die on the
hill of like Jimmy's.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Do you guys remember the Yakos jingle? Like the song?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, I worked in radio for twenty years. Okay, obviously
I know every jingle.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
So listen to this. Listen to this. So I go
with my neighbor a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The secret Sauce is one of them. Yes, yes, I
text him. I'm like, let's go get Yakoil team Pots ahead. Perfect,
We get in the car, we go down there. We're
feeling good.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
We may or may not have partaken in the Wacky
Tobacci at some point that day.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
So I get there, we're waiting in line. I'm like,
oh my god, Yakos. It's just it's so good. And
then we finally get up there and I start singing
to the guy.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I'm like, I'm gonna get Yakot And this kid was like,
what the fuck are you singing? And I'm like, I
got a second. You work at Yako's. You've never heard
the yak training manual. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
He had no idea. He never heard the Yakos jingle. Ever,
when you go in there.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
They should they be like sit you down in a
room and you have to watch all the uh literally
get Yako my friend. Do you know Matt Mulcheney from
Shard's recording studio, He's looking to like reduce some of
these old jingles, like re record.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Them in a fun way, like to give away, not
to make money on.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, we should write a jingle for this show, right,
let's go?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Who wrote this?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Day?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Branch Fries.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
No goat go is one of the times and Alan tradition.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
George Wacker, do you remember the Islands jingle? A lot
of these we can't use really, but why not?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Do you have the dentist down the lane, the dentist.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Down the lane, somebody somebody.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Tower Chevrolet, by the way, low prices every shot. Tower Chevrolet,
my favorite used.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
To be the one car dealer that used the Tina
Turner song, and it was definitely copyrighted because the commercially
which one was that you were?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Remember, I can't say who it was, but I know
who it is. Okay, Yeah, they were like, we're simply
My god, I didn't believe it was that. No way
to play the part?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Many should we talk about? There's anything else to talk about?
I feel I feel not prepared for this. Oh, here's
what we can talk about. You know, Kermit turned freaking
seventy years old. Kermit drog Ye. Can you do a
good Kermit?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Anybody can Doromit brog here.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I'm frog here. I'm gonna go home and fuck miss Piggy.
Oh my god, you remember the song?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
But nomena, Dude, we listened to that at home.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
But once a while it comes so good.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You know what, when he goes.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
In my top three vinyls, it would be the Muppets Christmas.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
All right. Here's the thing, though, George Wacker, we got
to talk about this. I hate the term vinyls because
it's they're not vinyl.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You're such a vinyl snob. You yl. No, no, no, no, no,
they're called records. Vinyl is what they're made out of.
It's the material that the record is made out of.
So colloquially, you know what I mean. But when I
say the word but I hate the spell colloquial, colloquial,
I know what that is.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What is that colloquial?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I can say?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Now I have to say, like colloquially, they're colloquially it
is vinyl, so technically vinyls.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, that sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You can't let things like this bother you. It doesn't
bother me. I'm just.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
These kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
However, it is good.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
To look at language and meaning. Otherwise we have nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So yes, I get it. See now you're going to
notice this though. Now you're going to notice this when
you're friends, when you're out and about and they say,
you're going to be like.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'll give I will give COVID one thing. I've always
been a record guy. I'll give COVID one thing. It
accelerated that, and you wouldn't maybe think that it would have,
but accelerated it to a degree of not as crazy
as you are.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But I've got a decent collection.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
And then I'm like seeking out, Like a new album
came out by the Viagra Boys. I have two versions
because now I'm like, this is my listening version and
like my chill that version, and my daughter, like you
could give her a record, she could figure all that out.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
And she's eight years old. How cool is that? Right?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
But she knows it and she likes it. She has
all the Billie Eilish records.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
If not for COVID, where we were kind of forced
to maybe do more of that than we would have,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
If we'd be as into it.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, now we are like buying new records at the
Compackist Center in Bethlehem.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Becker.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You have vinyls too, right, See it just sounds weird,
It just sounds fucked up.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I wouldn't say vinyls. I would say vinyl. You've got vinyl.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I never would.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
There's nothing else I.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Refer to as vinyl either, So it's like that's it.
Records anyway. You have records too, right, I've got a
couple records. Yeah, you have a turntable.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I do you know how I notoriously despise grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, you know that. I hate grocery stores. I do.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Who wants to fucking walk around the grocery store and
pick out jewel? Could not leave this place. It would
be fine, It would be great.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I mean technically, besides the gate, you could just have
the uber guy. Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You mean like like door door, I mean meals on wheels,
meals on wheels.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
No, eventually, eventually you're going to change eventually a delivering
I feel like you're a meals on wheels kind of guy.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So when it comes to getting the groceries, yes, I've
done an instacart before a few times, which is when
you pay somebody to actually go and walk up and
down the aisles and shop for you and pick.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Out Have you done that right?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
What we did it? I don't have people shopping for
me kind of money. Yeah, it was just I used
it once or twice, but yeah, not often.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So I had to stop doing that. But I still
refuse to go in a fucking grocery store. I just
hate it. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It takes too much time, and the other thing you
always like see somebody that you knows, but then you
got to stand there and talk with them. It's like,
so I'll tell you what I do now, what I've
done for the longest time now, is that I use
like the Giant Direct and I order all my groceries
on the app, and then somebody goes and they shop
for you, and then then you pull up. You pick
(31:24):
an hour timeframe. So like the other day, I picked
between five and six. You roll down there, you call
the number on the little plate in the parking spot
you pull up to, and they bring your shit out.
It's great, and you only pay two dollars and ninety
nine cents or something to have somebody else pack your groceries.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's fantastic. It's a great invention.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
However, it screwed me for the first time the other day,
and it screwed me hard. So I was supposed to
go my groceries on Monday. I picked between five and six.
I roll down there at five point fifty, I call
the number. I say, hey, I'm Joel, I'm here in
spot one. She goes, okay, yeah, just give me give
me a few minutes and I'll bring it out. I'm
like okay, great, So five point fifty I told you
(32:01):
I get there right, Yeah, it's like six'. Ten i'm
still sitting there. Right where the fuck? Issue what are they?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
DOING i don't know the whole but the ball but
the whole idea of, this, though is that you're supposed
to be able to pick up your groceries between five and.
Six they were done shopping with your order about three,
o'clock because you can add stuff to your order all day.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Long So i'm, Thinking, god this is taken? Forever what
the fuck? Like what is taken so? Long so, finally
here she comes.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The entitlement you. Know, no, no, no, no, listen, yeah, listen.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Let me finish my. STORY i want to hear the.
Resolution so, No so here she comes at six.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Fifteen oh my, GOD i get there at five fifty six,
fifteen twenty five minutes. Later, No so she comes with
likeness mathematically six fucking. Cards, right she has a bunch of,
carts and everybody's pulled up into their little space. Here
So i'm in spot one while she starts all the
way down at spot fucking.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Seven, Right so here's spot. Seven, okay here's your, cart
here's your grocery spots, six so on and so. Forth
she gets all the way down to. Me there's one cart.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Left she looks at me and she, goes, hi Uh,
Kelly AND i, Said, kelly who the fuck Is?
Speaker 2 (33:11):

Speaker 1 (33:11):
NO i, said uh, no my name Is. Joel and she, goes, Oh.

pointed to the spot next to, me which by that
time there was no car, there and she, goes he

Speaker 3 (01:09):
It is a roadcaster pro to sure I can sound
like a I think it only works with my mic, right.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, I don't know, not me either, I just sound
friendly naturally.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
So do you get a lot of feedback that your
listeners enjoyed this part of the show.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah, for the most part, Okay, most people. Their only
criticism has been that guy in the first episode, Bob.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Yeah, wait was that story I told about him?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Was that recorded? No, So this would be a good
introduction to what I do. I guess when we were
first starting our blog, why I value would love this
is like two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight.
The whole thing back in that day was there was
no news alternative. There was Morning Call, Express Times that
was it. Well FMZ of course, and then like a
couple other smaller ones. So we're gonna be like the
anti new So there would be news, we would take
(02:02):
a paragraph or two and then make fun of it
in whatever aspect.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
And so we're trying to like, I don't know, we're
looking on the internet.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
What if people do there's all these best of the
Lee Valley, you know, So again being.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That young mindset.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
We're like, what can we do to flip it on
his head and be funny and at the same time,
so he said, let's do the worst of the Lei Valley. Yeah,
so like what's the worst restaurant? And we did like
a google for I would I gat prepared. I could
find it and maybe I'll send it to you guys.
But he couldn't do it now because it was pretty mean. Yeah,
and there were some restaurants in there that people, you know,
I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
I would not do it now.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
But Bob Holder won the Worst the Worst radio talk show.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
He must have hated that and he.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Was so good, but like somebody told him, he got
so mad and then they're like you have to come
on the show. Well he didn't even but like would
you call on the show? And he was like, you
got mad at me? And he didn't quite understand that
we did it because we like we actually liked him
and then the whole thing. But so he was really
mad at us for a while, like, how dare you
say that I'm the worst?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
And it's like, Bob, no, you don't. You didn't get
the joke. But that was kind of like one.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Of our first fories in and it But to be honest,
it kind of showed. It's like, oh man, like people
will take notice if you put out stuff like this.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Should we should be a little careful.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I don't want to have anybody assume me you really
think that you couldn't do that again if you wanted to.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
What do you think about like restaurant reviews right when
you're in New York City, Like you can go and
bash a restaurant because the odds of you going back
there are really slim, Like in the Lehigh Valley something
like that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Is difficult to do, Like you wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Go trash a restaurant like if you live here because
you would never eat there again?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Or is this not a good look? You know, like
maybe they had an off day or something.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
I guess my point is I think it's small enough
that I don't know if the worst of unless it
was done like in the right way, would work, Like.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
If you did a worst of, like what's the worst road?
Not like what's the worst Italian restaurant in Easton?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, let's start were like punching down.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You know it's not nice for sure?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
What is the worst Italian restaurant in Easton. I don't
even know. I can't even think of one Italian restaurant
in So this is a good one.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I was at a bad party last night. It will
show you how riveting it was. We were having a
discussion of the worst Burrows in.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Pennsylvania, the worst ever, because you guys really went hard
on this party.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Yeah, we're at the casino.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
We're not going to go to the strip club. We're
going to talk about burrows.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
And because some of these guys was from Timaqua, right,
which has a reputation of being.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
You know, less than Stowar.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Tomack was fine, but it is just like a lot
of these Burrows are like because people get out of
high school, they're like, I never.
Speaker 2 (04:27):

Speaker 2 (05:07):
We've both been on that.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yeah, we guys have been on and I'll tell you what, Georgie,
you were doing podcasts before anybody who's doing podcasts.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
I think we're the first podcasts that just didn't stop.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
There were other podcasts, and there are other podcasts, but
we were just the one that said I tried to
lean into it and say, is there any sort of
viable business opportunity here? And then once we started to
work that out a little bit, you know, being consistent
is the most important part. It's been a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So we do that.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
You know, we do social media for companies.
Speaker 4 (05:33):
We do ads and video stuff, a little bit of
droning press releases, you know, things like that, traditional things
that are still necessary. We do a lot of local
stuff and it's a lot of fun. And we're very
lucky here right, local, local, local.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
We're fortunate to have a.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Business at all, and the fact that we can continue
to do stuff for Leah Valley is just it blows
my mind.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So we're happy to and it's really cool to witness too.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Over the years, I thought of another person that's not
going to listen to this podcast. We can talk about him.
The last time that George and I.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Are you gonna say the last time the George and
I did an event together. There was a certain individual

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Is that weird?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
It's a little pretentious, don't you think is it?
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I don't know why.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I mean, it's probably not. It's the stupid about I've

doesn't be a little critical. Yeah, it's silly anyway. All
right here ready, question number one? You want me to
ask you first? Right, I can go first this time?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
If you like, am I answering this?

the guests to chime in, maybe make it any competition
between the now, well, the guest has always been here
as far as the trivia portions concerned.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
The guest is just here to chime in. However, what
I was thinking is we should make it like who
wants to be a Millionaire?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Where it should be like a lifeline, so that if
you can't answer, you go to the other person.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Okay, we should do I'll.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Just chime in.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Okay, that's fine, all right, but we might come to
you and I know the answer. It might get really excited.
Don't ask chat you pt.
Speaker 1 (08:59):

I was told that.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
People can tell me like you're given him too many.
That's beating you in all these games. Yeah, read the
question again. Which artist became the youngest solo performer to write, produce,
and record a number one single on a Hillboard Hot
one hundred. It's a female, Okay, it happened in nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Youngster in nineteen ninety. That's a girl.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I want to say something Mariah Carey, but I don't
think she wrote her own stuff. Dude, great, guess you
got it. Most people, you know, I was at a
party it was Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
But you seriously, but yeah, I was a lot of.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
People said Madonna or Denny Gibson or Duel you know
what I mean. But my guest, people think of Mariak.
I see when I hear think of Mariah Carey. I
was Mariah Carey like nineteen ninety three, ninety four, being popular.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah, but murdered.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
I know all this stuff. The song that she won
for was Vision of Love.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Vision of Love song.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, so good job. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I'm a good guest. Thank you well done.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I think the reason why that came to mind is
because my dad also was a radio personality back in
the day and floated around from station to station to station.
But he was doing like overnights at a station in
Reading called WYCL, which was adult contemporary at the time,
that was pounding those fucking Mariah Carry songs in the ground.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah. My father always used to say growing up that
this there was this young girl, Mariah Carey, and we
didn't know if it was Mariah or Maria Carrey like,
and there was all these like notes about how to
say her name at the radio station. I was at
a party earlier, Like I said earlier before, I'm just
mixing up my words. Anyway, I was at a party earlier,
and I gave my questions to some people, like I
tested them out, and the one girl asked, all right,
(11:07):
it's a female. Is she still like around? Is she
still doing well? I'm like, she's still around, but is
she doing well? I think she's doing She's kind of
a mess. She's choosing to do that.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
We're judging. I'm judging. I'm sorry. Let's go to the
next one.
Speaker 5 (11:25):

named after the Spanish word for little cakes? What popular
Mexican dish traditionally made with corn tortillas is named after
the Spanish word little cakes.
Speaker 6 (11:44):

It's not a fucking taco, is it.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
It is a taco traditionally served with corn tortillas. You
got it again by wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Taco's the right answer questions, it's taco.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Way you did a Mexican food question and the answer
was taco.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
That's why I didn't say taco. And it was that easy.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I went to dinner one time with my friend and
his uh, his wife, and she did not like the
way I ordered my tacos. She actually was like offended
and gave me some ship.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Really that's weird, though.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
You want to do more about her, I think than
One of my favorite places to get Mexican food in
the Lehigh Valley if you're coming around, is Mexico Lind Sure, yes, anyway,
I ordered them Americanized. Unfortunately I got them with flower tortilla,
with cheese, lettuce, and sour cream. Traditionally they come went
on a corn tortilla with what's that green stuff? The No,

Sweet Child? O mine? Oh mine? It's not of mine?
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah? All right? You he tries to get me onease,
I'm killing He normally gets them wrong. Boom, okay, fine,
Question f twenty what alright? TV?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Characters. I give you four names, and you tell me
what the show is.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Meadow a j.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Carmela, the Buffy, Buffy the Vampire. Now hold on, Tony, Tony,
what you say Buffy?
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Oh? The Sopranos.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
The Sopranos very good. I am still shocked that Lisa
and is from Easton. Yes, what are you sniffing over there?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Those are the best freaking things ever.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Boomsticks, boom boom sticks? Is it menthol?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
It's not meno, It's just a nasal stick?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And help me quit vaping?
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Oh good?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
So it's this piece of plastic that I hold up
to my nose and go. And this one smells like tropical.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's like vixed vapor rub.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (20:56):
I saw someone do cocaine on the street corner yesterday
on south side a stoplight and I looked over and
this guy taking his little jar around. He scooped it
out and just put it by cctown Town. Whatever is
it cc Towntown or Seatowntown?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
I think it's just seatown cc Towntown. Really see their
logo really throws me off.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Apparently they are banging mpanadas though, Well, yeah, I will
see Seatown.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
I love how you saw me with my nasal stick,
and the first thing he thought of is, yeah, I'm
gonna bring up that I saw somebody do cocaine by
the c C Towntown.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yes, Towntown. I'm just doing my best boy. So today, right,
I go to the laundromat. This woman next to me,
she's getting chatty. I had my air pods in and
she kept interrupting me, but she was nice enough whatever. Right,
Usually I go there and there's not a lot of
people there, and I'll listen to music and just kind
of dance around, like kind of like walk around and
wander around because it's usually dead. So she's talking to
(21:56):
me and she taps on my shoulder because I couldn't hear,
and she goes, hey, you could put a body in here.
And I said what, And she goes, you could fit
a body in here, and I go huh. And then
it reminded me of something that happened back in November
December at the laundromat no one was there. Went later
at night and all of a sudden, these cops come
rushing in and I freak out right, And then they
(22:20):
go over to one of the dryers and they open
up the bottom one and there was a guy in there.
The entire time I was like dancing around this laundromat,
there was a guy in there. Somebody must have called. Yeah,
I swear of got in the story of what the
lady said to you today. What a weird fucking thing
to say to somebody. Though you can fit a body
(22:41):
in here.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I'd be like, excuse me, welcome to spark a debate
where Becker and Joel turn one topic. You're doing all
out puff puff, pass off and see who burns out first.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Why don't we just debate stupid shit like what a
flavor of the reader is better.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Cheese? Well, you debate.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
Pots or yakos and give actual reason. Okay, last I'm sorry,
I didn't know. We still want to talk about it.
We touched on it last time. We didn't actually get
it because people, when people talk about it, it's a
very surface level. You know, people don't go and talk
about really.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Why I think that I like yacos better because the
dog is a little bit more well done.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's why I don't like it. They definitely have a
shriveled dog.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That's what I was exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
And if you're not in the shrivelled dogs you don't
like Yakos exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Yeah, now Pots, I think Pots of Chili is better
than Yakos.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
I like how they put the cheese on the bottom,
me too, and like it's it's conveniently there and it's
a little bit of a surprise.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
I got a second. I thought we were debating hot
layers chili. There's Karen who gives a ship about their chili.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
We're talking about hot dogs part of the sandwich.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you're saying if you're you're just having a plain
hot dog nothing on.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
It, Well, I mean I get the Yacos hot dog
with everything on it that we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Like, like, is that you're talking about the song?
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Oh I thought you were talking about like chili, like
cap of chili from No, No, no, that chili cheese dog.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Okay, sorry, the onions are just objectively better Pots in
my opinion, little details that Yakos are just gonna throw
some dark or what I hot dog at you? What
I ever turned down a Yacko's Absolutely not. I feel
there's options at Yakos too.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Well.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
I feel like blessed that we have so many hot
dog options. Try a yach Yako's burger if you haven't.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It's so good and it's.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Way better than you think it should be.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Their cheese steaks too, all great, but.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
I was like, what the heck? How have I never
had a Yacko's burger?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
And it's way better than.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Should have been.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Their cheese steak is like the size of an iPhone.
It's not very big, but it's got a bunch of bean.
It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
It's good to slap them together.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
So the obvious winner is Pots, right.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
I think we want Pots. I just in terms of taste.
I just feel like it.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
But then there's people it's fine, they'll die on the
hill of like Jimmy's.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Do you guys remember the Yakos jingle? Like the song?
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Yeah, I worked in radio for twenty years. Okay, obviously
I know every jingle.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
So listen to this. Listen to this. So I go
with my neighbor a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The secret Sauce is one of them. Yes, yes, I
text him. I'm like, let's go get Yakoil team Pots ahead. Perfect,
We get in the car, we go down there. We're
feeling good.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
We may or may not have partaken in the Wacky
Tobacci at some point that day.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
So I get there, we're waiting in line. I'm like,
oh my god, Yakos. It's just it's so good. And
then we finally get up there and I start singing
to the guy.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
I'm like, I'm gonna get Yakot And this kid was like,
what the fuck are you singing? And I'm like, I
got a second. You work at Yako's. You've never heard
the yak training manual. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
He had no idea. He never heard the Yakos jingle. Ever,
when you go in there.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
They should they be like sit you down in a
room and you have to watch all the uh literally
get Yako my friend. Do you know Matt Mulcheney from
Shard's recording studio, He's looking to like reduce some of
these old jingles, like re record.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Them in a fun way, like to give away, not
to make money on.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, we should write a jingle for this show, right,
let's go?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Who wrote this?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Day?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Branch Fries.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
No goat go is one of the times and Alan tradition.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
George Wacker, do you remember the Islands jingle? A lot
of these we can't use really, but why not?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Do you have the dentist down the lane, the dentist.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Down the lane, somebody somebody.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Tower Chevrolet, by the way, low prices every shot. Tower Chevrolet,
my favorite used.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
To be the one car dealer that used the Tina
Turner song, and it was definitely copyrighted because the commercially
which one was that you were?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Remember, I can't say who it was, but I know
who it is. Okay, Yeah, they were like, we're simply
My god, I didn't believe it was that. No way
to play the part?
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Many should we talk about? There's anything else to talk about?
I feel I feel not prepared for this. Oh, here's
what we can talk about. You know, Kermit turned freaking
seventy years old. Kermit drog Ye. Can you do a
good Kermit?
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Anybody can Doromit brog here.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I'm frog here. I'm gonna go home and fuck miss Piggy.
Oh my god, you remember the song?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
But nomena, Dude, we listened to that at home.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
But once a while it comes so good.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You know what, when he goes.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
In my top three vinyls, it would be the Muppets Christmas.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
All right. Here's the thing, though, George Wacker, we got
to talk about this. I hate the term vinyls because
it's they're not vinyl.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
You're such a vinyl snob. You yl. No, no, no, no, no,
they're called records. Vinyl is what they're made out of.
It's the material that the record is made out of.
So colloquially, you know what I mean. But when I
say the word but I hate the spell colloquial, colloquial,
I know what that is.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
What is that colloquial?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I can say?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Now I have to say, like colloquially, they're colloquially it
is vinyl, so technically vinyls.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, that sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
You can't let things like this bother you. It doesn't
bother me. I'm just.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
These kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
However, it is good.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
To look at language and meaning. Otherwise we have nothing.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
So yes, I get it. See now you're going to
notice this though. Now you're going to notice this when
you're friends, when you're out and about and they say,
you're going to be like.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I'll give I will give COVID one thing. I've always
been a record guy. I'll give COVID one thing. It
accelerated that, and you wouldn't maybe think that it would have,
but accelerated it to a degree of not as crazy
as you are.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
But I've got a decent collection.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
And then I'm like seeking out, Like a new album
came out by the Viagra Boys. I have two versions
because now I'm like, this is my listening version and
like my chill that version, and my daughter, like you
could give her a record, she could figure all that out.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
And she's eight years old. How cool is that? Right?
Speaker 1 (29:32):
But she knows it and she likes it. She has
all the Billie Eilish records.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
If not for COVID, where we were kind of forced
to maybe do more of that than we would have,
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
If we'd be as into it.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, now we are like buying new records at the
Compackist Center in Bethlehem.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Becker.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
You have vinyls too, right, See it just sounds weird,
It just sounds fucked up.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
I wouldn't say vinyls. I would say vinyl. You've got vinyl.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I never would.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
There's nothing else I.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Refer to as vinyl either, So it's like that's it.
Records anyway. You have records too, right, I've got a
couple records. Yeah, you have a turntable.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I do you know how I notoriously despise grocery stores.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Yeah, you know that. I hate grocery stores. I do.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Who wants to fucking walk around the grocery store and
pick out jewel? Could not leave this place. It would
be fine, It would be great.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
I mean technically, besides the gate, you could just have
the uber guy. Yeah, they do.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You mean like like door door, I mean meals on wheels,
meals on wheels.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
No, eventually, eventually you're going to change eventually a delivering
I feel like you're a meals on wheels kind of guy.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
So when it comes to getting the groceries, yes, I've
done an instacart before a few times, which is when
you pay somebody to actually go and walk up and
down the aisles and shop for you and pick.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Out Have you done that right?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
What we did it? I don't have people shopping for
me kind of money. Yeah, it was just I used
it once or twice, but yeah, not often.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
So I had to stop doing that. But I still
refuse to go in a fucking grocery store. I just
hate it. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It takes too much time, and the other thing you
always like see somebody that you knows, but then you
got to stand there and talk with them. It's like,
so I'll tell you what I do now, what I've
done for the longest time now, is that I use
like the Giant Direct and I order all my groceries
on the app, and then somebody goes and they shop
for you, and then then you pull up. You pick
(31:24):
an hour timeframe. So like the other day, I picked
between five and six. You roll down there, you call
the number on the little plate in the parking spot
you pull up to, and they bring your shit out.
It's great, and you only pay two dollars and ninety
nine cents or something to have somebody else pack your groceries.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's fantastic. It's a great invention.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
However, it screwed me for the first time the other day,
and it screwed me hard. So I was supposed to
go my groceries on Monday. I picked between five and six.
I roll down there at five point fifty, I call
the number. I say, hey, I'm Joel, I'm here in
spot one. She goes, okay, yeah, just give me give
me a few minutes and I'll bring it out. I'm
like okay, great, So five point fifty I told you
(32:01):
I get there right, Yeah, it's like six'. Ten i'm
still sitting there. Right where the fuck? Issue what are they?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
DOING i don't know the whole but the ball but
the whole idea of, this, though is that you're supposed
to be able to pick up your groceries between five and.
Six they were done shopping with your order about three,
o'clock because you can add stuff to your order all day.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Long So i'm, Thinking, god this is taken? Forever what
the fuck? Like what is taken so? Long so, finally
here she comes.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
The entitlement you. Know, no, no, no, no, listen, yeah, listen.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Let me finish my. STORY i want to hear the.
Resolution so, No so here she comes at six.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Fifteen oh my, GOD i get there at five fifty six,
fifteen twenty five minutes. Later, No so she comes with
likeness mathematically six fucking. Cards, right she has a bunch of,
carts and everybody's pulled up into their little space. Here
So i'm in spot one while she starts all the
way down at spot fucking.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Seven, Right so here's spot. Seven, okay here's your, cart
here's your grocery spots, six so on and so. Forth
she gets all the way down to. Me there's one cart.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Left she looks at me and she, goes, hi Uh,
Kelly AND i, Said, kelly who the fuck Is?
Speaker 2 (33:11):

Speaker 1 (33:11):
NO i, said uh, no my name Is. Joel and she, goes, Oh.

pointed to the spot next to, me which by that
time there was no car, there and she, goes he

Speaker 1 (33:32):

So, again what time DID i get, There?
Speaker 1 (33:38):

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Fifty?
Speaker 1 (33:41):

Right she, goes, oh, Well i'm gonna go call. Him
