JJ: Oh, hazelnuts on my top.

Matty: I can't eat. Those are the like the three lowest nuts, typically. Oh, are they low hangers?

Megan: Yeah, Anderson Cooper's very negative about uh walnuts.

Matty: Yeah you wouldn't put like an almond or a cashew or a pistachio anywhere near the like.

Peter: No, they're not as healthy as the other three. Oh, so that's what you base it on? Yeah, Brazil nuts are high and for great for testosterone. Look at those muscles. Yeah.

Unconfirmed speaker: Little did you know. Well, yeah, little did you know.

Megan: Soon enough, he was everywhere. But um I used to call him Ben because he looked a lot like Ben Affleck.

Peter: Really? And 20 years ago, yeah.

Megan: And so whenever I hear about Ben, I always think of Peter. And so Ben's nuts andor penis, yeah, has been in the news because he's been doing interviews for his new Netflix show that just premiered called Animals that he directed.

Megan: No, but it wasn't little either.

JJ: I'm not talking about the size of his penis.

Matty: You're talking about the length of the clip.

JJ: I the timeline and also how much of the whole shaft involves it.

Megan: It's a side view. It's a side view.

JJ: and I think that I was introduced to the concept of brunch by this group over here.

Unconfirmed speaker: Okay.

JJ: Um yeah. Talk about a lot of things. I have had so great stories uh of my few years that I've met that I've been, you know, I can't believe you remember those stories.

Matty: Well, I think he I think it's based on what we've told him happened.

JJ: Maybe, yes. But one story that I would never forget. Yes, you know what I'm coming to talk about.

Peter: Sleeping in the church.

JJ: That's the first one. Oh yeah, because I was, I mean, I was coming to the house. I used to, I I mean, I used to nap constantly, and it was like a brunch for the first time, and we would go to uh uh Enyo and we will open Enyo at 10 a.m. and we would close it at 3 p.m. for the uh all all you can drink sangria mojitos. Do you remember that? We would just take the whole bar. Yeah, and then next and all it's like I need to take a nap.

JJ: So people were saying it's like your friends are like sleeping on the church lawn. You were on the church lawn. Yeah, I sure was. Yeah. And then there was a summer and then we woke you up and went back in.

Peter: Yeah.

Matty: It's like continue. Yeah. And there was the day he ate those dirty pretzel rods. Oh, yeah.

JJ: Remember, Peter, you remember the pretzel rods? Peter would bring me the pretzel rods.

Megan: At Pronto, right? All those dirty pretzel rods that sat on the bar table. JJ would eat anything. Oh my god.

JJ: I would eat anything. Yeah.

Megan: We've talked about the pretzel rods on this pot before. So our slippers who are regular listeners know all about it. And uh to Matty's point, someone, I don't know if it was you, Matty, or someone else said, Oh, they would take those rods and lick the salt off them and then put them back in the jar.

Unconfirmed speaker: And that's what JJ would be eating.

JJ: JJ was eating them to survive. Salty rod. But some sometimes those will be.

Matty: Well, in all fairness, I wasn't much better because I got, I think it was one of the first weekends, or I don't know. Could it have been the same day? I reached my limit, and I think it was Rolando and Peter.

JJ: Rolando, one of our also very close friends, that lives now in Houston.

Matty: Yeah. I think they're like, okay, we can leave. And I'm like, great, I'm ready to go. I've had enough. And we walk out to get in the car, and next thing I know, I'm being put in the car, the doors being shut.

Peter: I wasn't there for that. Was it the summer? Oh, yes.

Matty: Okay, we just I was like, okay, well, whatever. I'm gonna take a nap. It was 95 degrees outside. I woke up and I'm like, am I alive? Am I in a coma? I was like in a sauna. Did people come in and check in? But did you once?

Unconfirmed speaker: Did you think they were gonna leave? Rolando came out once and checked on me.

Peter: And Matt walks in just screaming, You left me in the car.

Matty: I mean, I felt like one of those nightline, the nightline TV shows where like man gets you know sentenced for five years for leaving his child in the backseat of a car.

Peter: And as an adult, you got left in the car.

Matty: Oh, God.

JJ: Then there was the summer of the Lime-A-Ritas. Peter, do you remember the summer of the Lime-A-Ritas? Oh, they were the best. They were the best. And then Peter found out the best combo with the Lime-A-Ritas.

Peter: What was the best? Was the 1800 Coconut Tequila?

JJ: Oh, we will shape.

Peter: Sounds like a dream. Lime merita with the coconut. There was well, the Lime-A-Ritas weren't strong enough and they were super sweet. So to cut that, we had to add the tequila.

Megan: But that coconut tequila sounds like it would be adding sweet on sweet.

Matty: Oh, but it was just I think your tongues were numb.

JJ: Peter will make a full tub of this Lime Meritas. Yes, sweetheart. And then we will go to his patio, and next thing we know, we, and by we I mean myself, I'm eating Fritos right next to inflatable dinosaurs.

Matty: Well, you climbed over the fence and went to the neighbor's house.

JJ: I invited myself to the party.

Peter: To the party, to the Halloween party next door, yes.

JJ: Yeah. And then we all were at the party. That same night, then uh the Fritos, the Fritos decided to just like come out. They went down.

Matty: They went down and then they came back up.

Matty: Little video bar in Royal Oak.

Peter: Okay.

Matty: We like to we like to We're an education pod as well.

Peter: Yeah, education, yeah.

Megan: Yeah, we need to know.

Peter: So we go to Pronto, and I'm not someone's knocking on the door of the bathroom, and I'm like, what's going on here? I gotta use the bathroom. They open the door, and there is just Frito vomit all over the bathroom floor. And I go, I know who did this.

Unconfirmed speaker: I can't believe that.

Peter: Yeah, it was. You were, you were standing on the patio.

JJ: Those were my snacks, ready to blow, to blow some more. Peter was there to protect me.

Matty: And you're like, he's with me. You know damn well, JJ, you had to be to work at 5 30 in the morning the next morning.

JJ: Yeah, shuffle some papers and then come back for the next round.

Unconfirmed speaker: Oh God. Well, Peter.

JJ: Rolando used to do the same thing. It's like, I'll come back.

Matty: Peter, I don't honestly though, I don't think you are immune to some of the things, maybe having too much sake, maybe. Oh, let's not even.

Peter: No, no. Yes.

Matty: I'll just say Saki can sneak up on you.

Peter: Well. Yes.

Matty: Um, can we maybe it's not my fault that have been. Can we maybe have you come back and tell a sake story?

Peter: Well, I don't mind the telling the sake story. It was the happy hour. Why don't you tell it? I'll tell it from my perspective. Tell it from your perspective and then we'll fill it. Ronin, which is in Royal Oak, a sushi bar. They have a had a great happy hour prior to COVID. Yeah. This is actually this area.

Megan: It was way before COVID.

Peter: So for nine dollars, you get a pint of sake. and a 16-ounce Sapporo. Well, that's like heaven. It is heaven. So drinking four of those in the matter of an hour and a half.

Megan: Exactly. And I want to interrupt Peter because we started actually that day across the street first.

Peter: Oh, we did?

Megan: For happy hour. Yeah. It was, I think that place that changes.

Matty: It was Tapas.

Megan: It was Sangria?

JJ: Sangria? Oh, I think. That day? I don't know.

Megan: Yes. We started there because they had happy hour an hour earlier than earls.

JJ: Well, that's right. We would find out. I don't remember that. I don't remember that either. But then we went to the house. We would do find out where was the earlier's happy hour, and then we'll make our route as we go.

Megan: So we started there.

Matty: The more you know, Peter, the more you know.

Megan: Then we went to Ronan.

Peter: So go on. Oh, okay. So anyway, it's Ronan, and pretty soon I'm not remembering much, and I'm being driven home.

JJ: Well, okay. You were eating the edamamis from like the neighbors. So they were nice neighbors. They gave me.

Unconfirmed speaker: I was eating the neighbor's edamame. I can't.

Peter: Enough.

Unconfirmed speaker: Well, you said it was.

Peter: No, all right. They gave it to me. I didn't grab it. I just said, are you eating that?

Matty: And then oh my god.

Peter: I'm like, oh, I'm sweating.

Matty: So Jimmy.

Peter: I know it is hot mirror. Yeah. Well.

Matty: It was you were with me, right, in Rolando when we took him home. No.

JJ: He was seven, seven, three. No, I stayed with the ladies. No, I stayed with the ladies.

Matty: Okay, so Rolando and I drove him home. And we get there and he didn't have his keys.

JJ: By the way, Rolando, if you're listening, if you want to tell your side side of the story, please.

Matty: Well, Rolando was driving. He was sober. But anyway.

JJ: We should have called him tonight.

Matty: So anyway, we we get there, and of course, Peter does not have his keys. And that's weird. And this is summertime. It is 7 p.m. But in Peter's mind, it's 2 30 one. It's night out. It was light out. You kept saying to Rolando and I, like, oh my God, did we go to after hours?

Peter: Like, oh, come on.

Matty: We were like, yes, we're dropping you off. We're because we were gonna go back to Ronan to meet up with JJ and Megan and others. And so then we're like, well, how do we get we can't bring him back? How do we get him in the house? So we start trying all the windows, and we found the kitchen window was open. So the kitchen window is a little bit higher than your average. So we had to like get him boosted up there.

Matty: He gets the window open, he crawls through, and the next thing we hear is like, oh my god, I fell in the crockpot. So his crock pot was going.

JJ: Well, those crock pots were ready for Sunday.

Matty: Hence why I asked him roast beef or pot roast or ham hocks, because he's always got a pot, he's got a crock pot going. He climbs through the window and he falls in the crock pot. And we're like scattered. We're like, I'm like, Rolana, close the window. Let's go.

Peter: That's kind of how the story went. Yes. That is.

Megan: Oh my god, it's so funny.

JJ: One of my favorites. Oh my god.

Megan: One of my favorites, too. Thank you. I appreciate it.

JJ: I love it. We'd love you, Peter.

Peter: If you want a crock pot recipe, email the show. Oh yes.

JJ: You are the crock pot queen. You like meat in general.

Matty: You like meat in general. You told us earlier today you eat a pound of meat a day. I do. I do.

JJ: I've known a few that have finished.

Megan: Oh, 100%. Until I met Peter.

JJ: And they were 100%.

Megan: And Peter, Peter has amazing skin, and fins are known to have great skin. Mine's not as good as Peter's. But you did say that your doctor's. I know. I know. I'm jealous of the 50%.

JJ: But Megan, you did say that your doctor said that your skin is like a from a 30-year-old.

Megan: Well, that was a dermatologist. Oh, dermatologist. But from a viewpoint, I feel like Peter always knows like 25% better skin. Yes. I would say. I know.

Peter: Well, the Italian and Croatian. Oh.

Megan: Well, oh, look at you. Well, let me ask you this, Peter. You probably know this, but Finland has topped the World Happiness Report rankings for the last nine consecutive years, including 2026. So do you think Finns are generally happy or simply have lower tolerance for unnecessary nonsense?

Peter: Lower tolerance for unnecessary nonsense. Exactly. And Finns are also hesitation.

Megan: And Finns are also known to be very kind of direct and to the point.

Matty: Oh, that tries to be a good thing. Oh, that tries a lot of things. Although I would have flipped it. I would have said that makes you 50%.

Megan: Well, he got the skin. I got the directness. Shadoobs.

Peter: Shadoobs. We're not even nearer. We're not even nearer. Shadoobi level.

Unconfirmed speaker: I feel like we're shadoobing. Are we shadoobing?

Peter: Oh, that's a whole different level. That's a different one. We're not there, yeah? Yeah. Shadoobi is a different podcast.

Megan: So for the listeners, though, we should just say, like, Peter created this word, Shadoobi. Or Shadoob.

Matty: Shadooby, I think. Shadoob.

JJ: Sometimes it goes into Shadoobs.

Matty: It can be used, Shadoobs. Yeah. Shadoobi. Shadoobi dude. Shadoobi. Shadom.

Megan: Have you taken a Waymo? Because you've been all over the country.

Peter: I've been to LA many times and we've never taken a Waymo. Okay. Wow. And I was kind of scared.

Matty: Well, do you want to come with us on the when they do it? Yeah. The minute Megan hears that it's open for available. We have a full day. Yeah. We have a full day.

Peter: Now they were saying because obviously it can only go certain areas. Yeah. You're not going to take it from Royal Oak to go down to the Well, we'll soon, but not in the very beginning. Yeah. I don't even they don't go on the it would have to go down Woodward because I don't believe they take the highway.

Megan: Oh, they're taking the highway in LA.

Matty: Oh, yeah. Oh, I think that's a good thing. Or they're highway official in uh they're gonna be on the highway. But I don't think they know what the fucks they're in for. 696 business. They are gonna be like, what?

Peter: Do I think the Waymouth's just gonna turn around square?

Megan: Our out of state listeners and out of Detroit listeners, the one of the major through fairs that you would take to get anywhere in Metro Detroit has literally had one side shut down for like a year and it's supposed to still like keep swapping sides and it's gonna be shut down for another like year or two. It's insane. So you have to reroute yourself constantly to avoid traffic, etc.

Peter: Mm-hmm. Or be as lucky as me and only drive two miles together.

Megan: Well, that's a mean thing.

Peter: There we go. I stay in my five-mile radius.

JJ: Can you imagine going for brunch in a Waymo? Yes.

Matty: I can't wait. My thing is though, you know I don't like to talk to drivers until I am tipsy. You talk to us. Well, no, I want to like what about I'm gonna get in the car like to get my safe ride home after the bar, and I wanna get it. It'll just be an AI first. I'll be like, how many Johns do you have? Like, where are you from?

JJ: I'm sure there's gonna be a camera with a little lady saying talking positive in there. Yeah. Can I have to do that?

Peter: Oh, there you go. I needed someone to talk to.

JJ: Like in a gas station.

Peter: You'll push a button and get to talk to somebody.

Matty: Yeah, true. Maybe. Yeah. Can we talk? empty? Oh, okay. Well, that's okay. I'll see. So we've been drinking um, well, JJ, you know.

JJ: We are known by our obsession with espresso martinis. We've lately we've been doing a pair of espresso martinis and espresso uh espresso martinis and french fries.

Matty: Wherever. Take a breath.

JJ: I know French fries. Um and we have, yes, you need to try it. Spresso martinis and french fries. It's cut.

Matty: Like the salty fry and then the sparso fries.

Peter: Well, that would make sense of what's coming up next. Yeah.

Megan: Absolutely. Ah, so we saw, or someone saw, I don't know who. I don't know if I'm not sure. I think Matty was the one that said it to us. He saw this guy on Instagram with the handle of traveling bartenders, and his name is Tao Zrafi. Yes. And he said he's like a master cocktailer. Yeah. Mixologist. Mixal. Mixaladist.

Unconfirmed speaker: There we go.

Megan: And so he's constantly making drinks on Instagram. And so he said the way to make a proper espresso martini is to make it with soy sauce. So we made my espresso, favorite espresso martini recipe.

Peter: I'm gonna finish.

Megan: Yep, from the doctor. And then we added soy sauce. So we've got soy sauce, espresso martini in these little cups. Oh, you finished it with the big.

JJ: Well, I just no, no, no, no. We poured it in our glasses.

Megan: Oh, okay.

Matty: I'm going to put this in here as well.

JJ: Yeah.

Matty: If you're watching, I'm pouring my ramekin. Portion. Rama lama ding dong.

JJ: Yeah. Slippers, if you're espresso martini fans, please let us know. There's a weird Oh, we're going to taste it now.

Megan: Yeah, taste it.

Matty: Huh.

JJ: I'm out.

Megan: It kind of gives you a sweetness.

Peter: It's not cold.

Matty: Yeah, I don't know.

Peter: It's a little too much soy, but I can see where it would be.

JJ: But I do have to say that there was an ingredient that he had on his recipe that was vanilla syrup. Yeah, that we didn't. Maybe that would have cut. So I think that that could be.

Peter: If you would have asked, I had that at home. Oh, you didn't?

Megan: I said, let's ask it. Megan said it. Megan said it.

Peter: Do you know I had the bottle in my hand? I'm like, I should bring this in to discuss it. Damn it. I swear to God, because I have a chocolate one too.

Megan: God. But this does have the crème de cacao in the colour.

Peter: I don't think I can have liqueur in it.

Unconfirmed speaker: I don't think I can drink a crème de cacao. Cacao?

JJ: crème de cacao. crème de cacao. You know what cacao is? Cacao. Cacao. It's powder. It's chocolate. That's chocolate, yeah.

Megan: It's like cream of cacao. Yeah, and this is a white. It's clear, so it's not dark.

I learned many things about him, uh, about the power that he has. And I was like actually talking to Matty about this. I think that Lauren after this documentary, I think that Lauren Michaels is what Anna Wintour is for fashion, he is for comedy.

Matty: Oh, so when JJ said that, I said, did they say that in the documentary? No, I'm like, well, good on you. Because I'm like, immediately you know what that exactly you can draw that comparison.

JJ: You can see him on the little room, taking a look at it, having like people getting to know and understand his manners and what what this piercing of his lips look feels like and sounds like. It's amazing. And if you are shortcase, isn't he like how tall? He was actually pretty hot when he was young. Really? Yes.

Matty: How tall did he stand at his height? How he's at his height.

JJ: Really?

Unconfirmed speaker: He's that short.

JJ: He's very short. He's a shorty short. I don't know. They didn't say about anything about his height.

Unconfirmed speaker: Well, Lauren might be single. I don't know.

JJ: But yeah, it was it was very good. If you haven't watched it, you should. Lorne Michaels documentary on Netflix. It's just called Lorne. Yeah. It's on Netflix.

Matty: Oh, he just he's like Cheryl.

JJ: Lorne. It's it it's a I mean, it took a little bit for him to agree to have the documentary, but he did, and I found it with it. Um I pull it out, is that we recently learned. I don't know, Peter, if you know this, but Pop's for Italian is a Ferndale um restaurant around here that we love. No longer has the happy hour that we loved.

JJ: You usually are on the news of what's happening now.

Matty: Well, I don't hang out. When this unfolded in real time, Megan said, Well, we're not gonna be able to have our pre-production meetings here any longer.

JJ: Yeah, we used to go in and just have espresso martini and fries and do pre-production there, but not anything.

Megan: It was a dream.

Matty: And she's like, we're gonna take our business elsewhere. I'm like, well, where are we gonna go?

Megan: I'm like, I'll find the happy hour for us.

Matty: Well, Capitol Grill, maybe. Well, no, it's gotta be close.

Megan: I think uh the we went there, Peter. There's a couple places Romolo Bar Romana in uh Pleasant Ridge.

Peter: They have a good happy hour, the little pizza place.

Megan: Yeah. So we may go there.

Peter: So that's my polen. Jim Brady's has a decent happy hour. Oh, I haven't gone to Jim Brady's in a long time. That's a good one.

JJ: It's many nice great stories from Jim Brady's.

Matty: I sure do. We've got a few things from there.

JJ: Or a cover pot.

Megan: So yeah, we're on the lookout. So slippers, anyone who has a good happy hour place in Metro Detroit, we want to know about it. No. Preferably with a later end time, six or seven.

Matty: Six, seven.

Megan: Yeah, six, seven.

Matty: Oh boy, wow, girls. Well, my turn. Yeah. Okay. I my my slip it in is cowboy hats. Oh, oh, that's ironic.

Peter: Last night I was at my cousin's. I my cousin's birthday was yesterday, and I they said, Oh, why don't you stop by? I'm like, okay, before I go to dinner with other friends, I'll stop by. Well, little did I know that it was a theme party. Oh, and they're standing outside with total cowgirl and cowboy outfits on.

Matty: And I'm like, What's going on? Was it a all straights at the party?

Peter: Yeah. And so they're like, Do you want to wear a hat? I'm like, no. Do you like that?

Matty: Do you like a man in a cowboy hat? I love cowboy hats. I love cowboy hats. You do too. JJ, where do you stand on it?

JJ: Six, seven.

Matty: Meh. Well, I feel like I wish I I have a cowboy hat that I had bought um when I went to Denver, I think, to our friend Christian. That might not be true. That's all I think it was Texas I got it in. It doesn't matter. But I love it and I wear it only for like costumes or themed events. But I kind of wish I had the outfits to go with it.

Peter: Gravity.

Matty: Like the confidence to just go for it. I wish it didn't have to be such a southern thing in those states. Like, why not?

Peter: There's a lot of cowboys in the state of Michigan. Yeah, there are. There is? Yeah.

Megan: There is. Okay, well, let me know.

Matty: As long as you'll say y'all boy boots, I'm fine with that. I love y'all. Yeah, I have cowboy boots. Well. Is it I have big buckles too? I have big I've got big buckles. And they don't lie.

Megan: Um, let me ask you this felt or straw?

Matty: Felt.

Unconfirmed speaker: Okay.

Matty: Felt. Straw. Straw.

JJ: Straw speaks. Strawberry. Straw hat speaks Nashville to me. Or like all inclusive in Mexican. What are you?

Megan: Clearing the air. Straw hat. What?

Unconfirmed speaker: That's straw cowboy hat. That screams girls run wild.

Peter: Are you trying to get the crump of the cornfield? A straw cowboy hat. Not a cowboy hat. That's a costume.

Matty: Okay. My pull it out. My oh well, my pull it out is giving your pet chicken feet as a treat.

Unconfirmed speaker: Oh my god. What? I can't stand Peter.

Megan: Peter makes chicken feet for his dog.

Matty: They're so healthy, aren't they? This is why I've been waiting for this because I cannot.

Peter: My dog hates it. He's got the best teeth.

Matty: I just have a problem with these a jar of chicken feet.

Peter: A jar.

Matty: They're dehydrated.

Megan: They're all dehydrated. They're not in a jar.

Matty: Well, they're in like a dog container.

Peter: Correct.

Matty: That's what I mean. I don't mean like a jar of like freshly chopped off chicken feet. I know they're dehydrated, but they're little from the HM market. Yeah. Oh yes, or I'm not coming. Costco sells for the biggest thing. You're not coming, what?

Peter: Coming for you. Oh, but I just have a Yeah, Costco used to sell the bike briefly.

Matty: I don't know. You know how you toss like a a chick uh like a dog bone? And like I've been there when like, oh here's a random chicken.

Peter: But that's for the dog. Yeah. Correct, JJ. Well, I use chicken feet also to make bone broth. Yeah.

Matty: That's in for myself.

Peter: Yeah, people do it all the time.

Matty: Have I eaten stuff from your house that has been?

Peter: No, this is more recent. You have not.

Unconfirmed speaker: Have I had marinate? Chicken feet, marinate. Oh my God. I am never gonna be able to recover. I thought they were just for the dogs. I thought they were just for the shops.

Peter: Everything I feed the dog, I can eat if I wanted to. So you the chicken feet bothers you, but the duckheads don't?

Matty: I well, you want me to say duckheads as well?

Unconfirmed speaker: I was trying to keep it. I was trying to keep it above board.

Peter: Oh God. If they sell it at the butcher, I'll take it home and feed it to the duck.

Matty: Listen, duckheads is on you. I didn't bring that to the table.

JJ: Peter, do you have it?

Peter: Have you been to the H H Mart? It's like a zoo. Oh, I went to the H Mart. I love that stuff.

Matty: Yeah, I've been HM.

Peter: There's chickens there, not chicken feet. Oh. Peter, do you have a slip it in?

Matty: Oh my God.

Peter: Right now, my slip it in is this goddamn video game called the God of War Ragnarök. I just can't stop it. I played it. Do you consider yourself a gamer? Not necessarily. God of War Ragnarök. It's several years old, but I played it years ago and then I just picked it up for some fucking reason. And now I can't put it down. What's it on?

Matty: What do you play it on?

Peter: PS4.

Matty: Oh, I thought it was a PlayStation 4. It's not on your phone.

Peter: No, I don't play it. No.

Matty: Oh, so you're like a little bit gamer. This is not a Candy Crush. No. Do you have a gamer chair?

Peter: No. I almost bought one for Menards, though. It was on a sale the other day.

Unconfirmed speaker: Menards.

Peter: It was in my car. JJ.

Matty: Menards, where you can get your chicken feet and your game chairs.

JJ: Peter, for a second I thought. For a second I thought that that was going to be your slip it in, just sales everywhere. Sale. Good sale. I love a good sale. Estate sale, garage sale, yard sale.

Peter: I have not gone a garage sale the entire summer.

Megan: Wow.

Matty: I'm I'm shocked. On purpose? Your garage thing sale. Shut it.

JJ: Do you have a pull it out?

Peter: I can't think of a pull it out because everything bothers me.

JJ: You mentioned the number of masks earlier.

Peter: Oh yeah. I was driving over here, and this guy was standing outside the library in Ferndale looked like he crawled out of a garbage can and he's wearing a he's wearing a mask and he pulls the mask off and lights a cigarette. And all of us, I wanted to pull over and be like, well, maybe he has emphysema.

Megan: Then he shouldn't be smoking.

Matty: No, he shouldn't.

Megan: Then he should have just smoked through the mask.

Peter: That would have been funnier. Smoke through the mask.

Matty: If you have emphysema, don't you wear a mask? And like you shouldn't be smoking, I get it. No.

Peter: He didn't have an oxygen tank or nothing with it.

Megan: People who are wearing masks, I assume, have COVID.

Peter: Oh, really?

Matty: Or they're shouldn't necessarily have to be able to do that. Or they're trying to avoid COVID. There are some people that are paranoid.

JJ: When I see them like with their nose still sticking out in the mask, that's not the appropriate map. Or even driving by themselves that there's nobody else.

Matty: JJ, that's my worst. When you drive next to somebody and they're alone in their car driving and they have a mask on, I'm like, oh, with the windows up.

Peter: With the windows up.

JJ: Yeah, windows up. For what? I'm out. For what? For what, man? For what? Yeah. Like Ashley Padilla would say.

Matty: For what? Is there somebody laying down in your back seat? For what?

Peter: You know what? It'd actually be kind of funny to do that just to see how many people react to you. What? Drive around with a mask on. Just go look at this asshole so mad at me.

Megan: That is so funny. Hold on.

JJ: Slip it in, Megan. Do you have one?

Megan: Yes, I have a slip on the box. Did we do it in the Waymo's?

JJ: There we go. That would be too funny. Can you imagine? No driver. We all wearing a mask.

Matty: And they're like, why do you have a mask on?

Unconfirmed speaker: I'm like, pointing, pointing to the front seat. I'm like, and they're like, no one's there.

Megan: So why? For what? For what? For what? I love it. So my slip it in is the other day, uh, Jeff Lewis had on Jeff Lewis Live some of the new Real Housewives of New York, and he was talking to them. And they were talking about how they were upset with one of the other show um cast members, that they were just gossiping. And what I loved is Jeff Lewis just goes, Well, girls and gays love to gossip. And I just love that statement, girls and gays.

Megan: Girls and gays. It's so cute because it's like my life, girls and gays. I'm the girl with all my gays.

Matty: And I just love a little gossip.

Megan: Always.

JJ: Yeah.

Megan: As you may tell from today's show.

JJ: Look at you at your table.

Megan: You're like, you're living your best life. It is my three favorite gays.

JJ: There you go.

Peter: Let's tell a story about Megan.

Megan: Only if it's good. Um and my pull it out is I am not a fan of these combo exit, on and off exit and on ramps. Sorry. An on and off ramp, basically. Or it's a combo. It's where you're you're taking the exit to get on the freeway.

Matty: At the same time, you're taking the exit to get on the free.

Megan: Sorry. You're right. I'm taking the on-ramp to get on the freeway. At the same time, I, as I'm getting on the freeway, before I can officially be on the freeway, I'm on this little road where other people on the freeway are exiting to go on the off-ramp. So you've not seen this?

Peter: Where is this occurring?

Megan: Four or five of them around town.

Matty: Girls and gays, because I am about to gossip about us..

Megan: Because I'm constantly in large.

Matty: I don't know that we're not.

Megan: I almost got run off the road by a semi.

Peter: Well, because you were going the wrong way.

Megan: No.

Peter: Obviously drinking. No. Going the wrong way. No, he was already hobby techniques.

Megan: It's in the morning, going to work. It's on my way to work.

Matty: But it does sound like you were confused on what ramp does what.

Megan: Well, no, I'm confused with what I'm saying. But I'm not confused to what I'm saying. So you get on an on-ramp to get on the freeway. You're off the on-ramp, but now you're on this little road. The little road doesn't allow you to get on the freeway.

Matty: Are you talking about the service drive?

Megan: It's not even a service drive.

Matty: No, it's just a tiny little rug.

Megan: It's a it's is it a yellow brick road? Yes. It's just a little snippet of road. It's a snippet road. It's basically part of the off-ramp and on ramp. So you are getting on at the same time someone is on the same road getting off.

Peter: Oh, I know. I get what you're saying.

Megan: Yes. And so in that moment, the people getting off kind of need to like let you over, or you have to like slow way down to let them over in front of you. Someone has to make a crisscross. Yes.

Peter: That was the one you used on 696 going west. It was when Detroit. From Coolidge trying to get on to Greenfield. There's also a M-14/275.

JJ: That used to be my playground.

Matty: What about the Davison trying to get on the lodge off of Woodward? I mean, like I know it's specific, but like you gotta move. You gotta move, girl.

JJ: I call you out. You gotta move the other day.

Megan: So anyway, yeah, I get that. A semi, a very big semi. I'm not even worried about that. That was the setup. Okay. No, a very big semi was exiting, and I'm coming on very semi. And that fucker on this.

Matty: And a tiny snippet.

Megan: He wouldn't slow down or go faster. So literally, I could go nowhere. I finally had to slam on my brakes, and he was so big that I'm just sitting there.

Matty: How big was it? Yeah.

Megan: So big.

Matty: Did you get rammed?

Megan: Almost.

Matty: Wow.

Megan: Almost I was rimmed right off that road.

Matty: I was almost rimmed right off the big. Wow. I love a callback, JJ. Nice job. Shadoob. Oh my gosh. Shadoobs for me.

JJ: I've had the best time.

Peter: I think another martini might be Shadoub.
