[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe you don't you don't track with it every way
[SPEAKER_03]: He always does the same thing, with the same town and pada, every single time.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the way it goes, every single time it's this way, and I get tired immediately of the delivery.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not a good person.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm just not a good person.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know how painful that can be.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sounds like she's going to be okay, which is good news.
[SPEAKER_04]: The social media is obsessed with an old study from 2016 that found you're more likely to be a psychopath if you enjoy things that are bitter.
[SPEAKER_04]: Black coffee, dark chocolate, gin and tonics.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, hi, I don't like it for that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I drink my coffee black now that I drink it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It looked at the food and drink preferences of 1,000 Americans and at personality traits like how narcissistic, aggressive, and sadistic they were.
[SPEAKER_04]: It found people who like bitter stuff are more likely to have the types of anti-social qualities psychopaths have.
[SPEAKER_04]: And they were more likely to take pleasure in seeing other people's suffer.
[SPEAKER_04]: When they're right, they're right.
[SPEAKER_05]: When I was having my breakfast this morning, which was Lyme's That people that people suffering thing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh-uh not me if you're listening to this While enjoying a square of dark chocolate and washing it down with black coffee don't worry too much liking that stuff doesn't always mean you're a psycho So isn't that special?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's great wonderful isn't that great?
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know about that three times on the show today
[SPEAKER_04]: Finally, an Arizona fire department said it was a rooftop rodeo.
[SPEAKER_04]: What?
[SPEAKER_04]: That sounds like such a channel for news at four.
[SPEAKER_05]: It sounds like a promotion on the morning zoo.
[SPEAKER_04]: A rooftop rodeo and firefighters were called to rescue a pet goat that found its way onto the roof at a of a home and became stranded.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm playing with the roof.
[SPEAKER_04]: Up on the roof.
[SPEAKER_04]: The Glendale fire department said in a Facebook post that firefighters were
[SPEAKER_04]: When an adventurous goat ended up a little too high on a home, photos from the rooftop rodeo show firefighters climbing up on the roof to bring the goat back down to earth.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, how about that?
[SPEAKER_04]: The goat was reunited with its owner, the goat's name, Tom Brady.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: The goat's snack for all sports, Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan Tiger Woods, big poppy.
[SPEAKER_04]: I put that in for myself.
[SPEAKER_04]: And here's a wild card.
[SPEAKER_04]: The goat's name was Joey Chestnut.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, how about that?
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not, not William Stillwell.
[SPEAKER_04]: William Stillwell, go.
[SPEAKER_04]: I will take a break.
[SPEAKER_04]: Come back with more on the Michael Marlach route.
[SPEAKER_04]: TEMOS Classic.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hats, Hats, people.
[SPEAKER_04]: The TEMOS store is a rockin' and a rolling.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we are perhaps going to have a finished example for you.
[SPEAKER_04]: this week, uh, the, uh, T. M. O. S. hats and, uh, well, it's a working prototype.
[SPEAKER_04]: It might be even more than that because we got them ordered.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're all.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no, no product.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, uh, brandy.
[SPEAKER_04]: So, uh, go to the embroiderer with, uh, my lovely bride.
[SPEAKER_05]: And, um, I have to imagine it's not easy to find an embroiderer because it's sort of, uh,
[SPEAKER_05]: Sort of a lost start, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, are there a lot of not allowed to find an embroiderer unless you have a wife who has embroidered lots of different things for their goodness.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you'd be also very surprised that there are, and they're pretty much everywhere.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're everywhere.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're like nail salon.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're not like competitive, which is good.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm serious.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, if you type into your phone right now embroidery, you have like 10 with the end driving distance.
[SPEAKER_04]: They're a lot around.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Mrs. O'Mara, as Oscar will tell you, has been a whirling Dervish Rob, you will, too.
[SPEAKER_04]: You've seen her presence online.
[SPEAKER_04]: She has been all over it.
[SPEAKER_04]: She lives by it.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's killing it.
[SPEAKER_04]: She's really doing a great job with it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, but there was a moment of communication where I believe I was welcomed into this procedure.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, Rob and Oscar have learned a long time ago that putting me in an equation of something for the show is not always prudent.
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, I somehow have been labeled a distraction.
[SPEAKER_04]: I never had distraction.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, adding tension to the situation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not patient.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if that's changed.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe it has with the meds, I was on the meds when you were down here, but in the studio.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you know what, we were able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're a more patient than, but yeah, we're even busy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Remember when we get to the only time, you, but yeah, what you are now, when you, when you, when you cursed out and, and sent, uh,
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, the 3M corporation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the entire generation.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that was interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you did, you didn't melt down.
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I will tell you this that when it comes to the the part that I did, the garage wall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Fail.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_02]: Why it's just falling apart.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, is it keeping out the heat?
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it was supposed to absorb sound.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it, well, I think it does.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think the sound in here is phenomenal.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm very glad it was the sound, but there are couples that are just hanging out.
[SPEAKER_04]: I wish there was something better, but there's not something.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, but, but I guess softer than the Menacist days where we asked you to actually leave the home.
[SPEAKER_04]: Leave the home because you're seeing us out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: We get to the embroidery and there's just a disconnect.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's a disconnect between me and my wife about what, you know, what I want and what she wants and we go back and forth and finally got down to, uh, we settle on what the has to be.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's nothing all that unusual.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's very similar.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's going to be great.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to love it.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's really going to be better and it's going to be exciting and anything we've had before.
[SPEAKER_04]: The thing is though, there are the colors are red, black, white.
[SPEAKER_04]: Lou Gray.
[SPEAKER_04]: And at this point, uh, we start doing, uh, red on white, black on white white on black and we're going back and forth.
[SPEAKER_04]: And Carla loses the concept of that.
[SPEAKER_04]: And we're going back and forth.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I, uh, this goes on to to an extent where I look at her with that, that I'm, I, I don't do the I'm going to kill you look like I used to, but it's like I'm looking for you.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, like we're I can't go with her because I I wanted input you wanted to get pass.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, got you catch.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you Oscar will be happy to know that my idea that I mentioned briefly is no longer the idea we're using.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I didn't.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not pooping here.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, but I mean, I wanted to say it.
[SPEAKER_04]: I scripted things.
[SPEAKER_04]: It did not work.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't work at all.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think that that people are going to be very happy.
[SPEAKER_04]: You'll, you'll know hopefully Thursday of this week, you will be able to tell me what you think.
[SPEAKER_04]: Ask a question.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_05]: or the reason for being there.
[SPEAKER_05]: How did she do that?
[SPEAKER_05]: Because it seems like it was a pretty photo.
[SPEAKER_04]: She was just a little spacey for that moment.
[SPEAKER_04]: And this was the one, what Carla knows how to do is, Carla knows how to do customer service.
[SPEAKER_04]: Carla knows how to do marketing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Carla knows how to promote things that we have.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's what she's got to.
[SPEAKER_04]: Carla also, you know, I think that was how to love you.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's just a little bit of a fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she was at a workout and she well she couldn't today because of the traffic.
[SPEAKER_04]: There was an accident down here because they're all here And I've never seen traffic like this.
[SPEAKER_04]: I think we may be we may have flipped over night to Northern Virginia, but I don't know We may be Los Angeles, but I don't know that's a bunch of things so it it got done and I think it's gonna be good but it was just a bit
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to say it was lack of interest, but it was an area where I like all the fluffy stuff.
[SPEAKER_04]: I like the way it's going to look and the color schemes and all that where she is more like do it, but then she redeemed herself because she
[SPEAKER_04]: did all the negotiating with the guy and got it the way she wanted to to in the guy Daniel is a good dude.
[SPEAKER_04]: He's got a huge operation down here.
[SPEAKER_04]: Damn Daniel.
[SPEAKER_04]: We're very, very happy about our our hats.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you know Thursday.
[SPEAKER_02]: Thursday.
[SPEAKER_04]: I hit the store Thursday.
[SPEAKER_04]: We can't see him Thursday.
[SPEAKER_04]: You get to see him Thursday.
[SPEAKER_04]: They'll hit the store next week.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like a
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, and yeah, they will definitely hit the store next week, and I'm very very excited about it and good luck to that I don't know about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll take a break.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, we'll come back with a cuisine that sucks Oh, good, but not the way you may think T. M. O. S. Classic
[SPEAKER_02]: Italian food.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no!
[SPEAKER_02]: More Italian food is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tell you what, first of all, how could you even go wrong?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's the best.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the issue.
[SPEAKER_04]: you can go wrong, you can go very wrong because like everything else like Chinese food, like German food, like Korean food, like any cuisine, French food, there's a lot out there, but with Italian food, there's a lot more out there and especially down here because these islands,
[SPEAKER_04]: like their Italian, they love their Italian food.
[SPEAKER_05]: They're Indians.
[SPEAKER_04]: They, these Indians, these Michiganites, like their Italian food, they like it, but they don't care whether it's good or not.
[SPEAKER_04]: So unfortunately, there is just a bountiful supply, but the quality control is not always stunning.
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's why when Carlos said the Italian place across the street is really worthwhile, it's not.
[SPEAKER_04]: And as I'm eating my meal par, my treat meal of the week, the one meal.
[SPEAKER_04]: I give myself each week that I throw caution to the wind and I'm looking at it and I'm like,
[SPEAKER_04]: This is that good.
[SPEAKER_04]: And she goes, no, it isn't.
[SPEAKER_04]: I said, you're the one that recommended it.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it became aware to me that I've had a lot of Italian food down here that just isn't all that great.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think Italian food is like any other food.
[SPEAKER_04]: And it doesn't have to be expensive.
[SPEAKER_04]: it just has to be good right has to be homemade and the Italian food might be Italian to raise hold on chicken fingers let me finish my statement here the Italian food that I ate it came there are a lot of cans involved in it in my humble opinion yeah all right my situation down there where they would say this place is awful food and then the other person says yes
[SPEAKER_04]: 1,000% people would recommend it highly and it's low grade dog food.
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, there's too much of it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Too many people sling in it.
[SPEAKER_04]: Too many people that aren't Italian but aren't understanding their mama's recipe that are sling in it out.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bad groovy, not a fan.
[SPEAKER_04]: And by the way, you know who we need, the guy that was obsessed with his own birthday.
[SPEAKER_04]: We need Pauli Christine to give us some breakfast because you look at his food and his Italian food.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the blood cheese, like living in little Italy.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's right in fact that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Can't we have that everywhere?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you can if you have a local domino's I know that no It's possible is a bit of a nose Top of there.
[SPEAKER_02]: I read and sausage and marijuana, or the chicken Carbonara or the Pasta Primavera Whatever you want yeah when you're here you're like family.
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I don't buy into that Quite a quarter.
[SPEAKER_05]: He wanted a chocolate cake for his birthday and he got him Christine Yes, well, you know of happy birthday.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah happy birthday, Blair
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, we're very, very, um, is it Blair?
[SPEAKER_04]: It is Paulie quotation marks Blair Christine.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I don't know what the Blair me 23 years old.
[SPEAKER_04]: Chicken Alfredo build your own possible there's chicken Alfredo you can put you can put cheese with us on that yeah and just throw a overcooked noodle into a cauldron of cheese yeah give me your top three chain Italian rest fight they are so limited I can actually do chain no I don't want to do chain I want to go barra party of two I'm over here now hey
[SPEAKER_07]: Oh, I think that I am familiar with the fact that you are going to ignore this particular problem until it swims up and bites you on the S. That's the Italian food.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, I go back to a restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland.
[SPEAKER_04]: It might still be there.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was end by the way.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not the only one with this name.
[SPEAKER_04]: There was a place called the Pines of Rome.
[SPEAKER_04]: that was the linguine with the white clam sauce would curl your hair.
[SPEAKER_04]: Now, I don't discount a chain either.
[SPEAKER_04]: I have had reasonably decent, uh, and you'll find red sauces are not my forte.
[SPEAKER_04]: I, I'm not a big red sauce guy because I think red sauce everybody has it.
[SPEAKER_04]: You like the chain restaurants, Oscar.
[SPEAKER_04]: What's your favorite Italian chain restaurant?
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, uh,
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you're go to would be the one, but yeah, I'm, you know, my NASA's had a variety of options.
[SPEAKER_02]: Court, if you were not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Marker with that one.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because they was, is it, what, is it route 28?
[SPEAKER_04]: You remember the one right across the street from WJFK in the old Fairfax okay?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, the Italian cafe was a don't shave Vita.
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, don't take Vita on the other side.
[SPEAKER_05]: That, that was great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Accular.
[SPEAKER_05]: Really good, and it looked like it would be horrible, but it was sensation down.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like the macaroni grill, macaroni grill is a good thing I would tell you my number one seed and I got buca the beppo would probably be a tie with the macaroni grill same kind of concept I have never been to an olive garden ever ever
[SPEAKER_02]: When I worked in Monassus, that was our go to and it was never really disappointed.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was fine.
[SPEAKER_04]: When I hung out with Porno Dan, I used to go to the rib joint famous days.
[SPEAKER_04]: That chain.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then that was a still a lot.
[SPEAKER_04]: When you went there, it's next to the bowling alley.
[SPEAKER_05]: When you went to the rib place with Porno Dan, were you allowed to eat or did you just have to watch him eat?
[SPEAKER_04]: not a happy time in my life.
[SPEAKER_04]: Bad dark time, not a very dark time in my life.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm around to very interesting characters.
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you guys eat and then work or work and then eat?
[SPEAKER_04]: I think it was a regularly scheduled Tuesday evening for like a bunch of single guys and I was not married.
[SPEAKER_05]: I was not in my marriage at the time and it was just I remember the
[SPEAKER_05]: What?
[SPEAKER_04]: Who slept?
[SPEAKER_04]: But anyway.
[SPEAKER_04]: Macaroni Grills, is Macaroni Grills still a thing?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there still one in Fairfax?
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I can look that up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's not.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't bother.
[SPEAKER_04]: We don't need it.
[SPEAKER_05]: You can write on the table with crayons.
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know about that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I also don't believe in overpriced Italian food either.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't believe in that.
[SPEAKER_04]: Because the ingredients are the ingredients.
[SPEAKER_04]: No matter what.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you don't need to overpriced things.
[SPEAKER_04]: Unless you're going to throw like a really expensive chop.
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't like Italian chop houses anyway.
[SPEAKER_04]: Don't like it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you know enough about the meat to know if it's worth what you're about to eat?
[SPEAKER_04]: Like the meat, I guess, no, because if you are, if you go to it and they call them red sauce joints, red sauce.
[SPEAKER_04]: All right.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're talking about your spaghetti and meatballs.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're talking about your veal palm and the veal, you pound it out, it's a pound it out veal and you bread it and you fry it and that's it.
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm talking about what it really comes down to is the sauce, the gravy.
[SPEAKER_04]: that's what it is.
[SPEAKER_04]: And you can tell the difference if somebody takes love and care and puts out something fantastic and it can be as simple as something you dip your calamari into and it can be as elaborate as putting a fraud the off-low out there.
[SPEAKER_04]: But just beware there's a lot of crappy Italian out there.
[SPEAKER_02]: The best Italian meal meals I've ever had have been in charm city.
[SPEAKER_02]: a little little Italy where we would go on a regular basis and not because I was choosing because some of the probably one of my bosses at the time was like this is where we're going and I just remember feeling like I was in someone's home yeah it tasted so good I was like this is amazing I remember the best meal I ever ate in Baltimore's little Italy it was a dish called Raven Parmesan
[SPEAKER_04]: I have a little purple, purple and black flag, and it was the delicious taste of just like chicken.
