(upbeat music) Welcome to Chatsunami. (upbeat music) Hello everybody and welcome to the first other episode of Chatsunami. My name's Chatsunami and joining me to celebrate 60,000 plays at Chatsunami is none other than the food critic himself, Martin McAllister. Martin, welcome back. It's so good to be back. Famous food critic that I am, you know, go about reviewing lots of food, never seen anything in their lesson. Yes, all right. So I'm very happy to be here to chat with you. Yeah, and what better way to celebrate this Chatsunami milestone than, well, rolling out another subsidy. So as I said there, yeah, we indeed reach 60,000 plays. So today we are gonna be focusing on the first of an episode of Chatsunami, which is gonna be a subsidy dedicated to food and travel. So you and I of course have talked about travel in the past and now I'm taking you to the culinary delights of takeaways. (laughing) It's like, you know how some podcasters have a budget? Yeah, this isn't one of them. Well, I think you're gonna say it as in your takeaway budget is unlimited just because it's right getting done as a tax right off of this product. (laughing) My budget extends to like a steak bake and that's it. Even that's bankrupting me. (laughing) Oh, you've seen the price of them anyway. Today, I thought, you know what? Let's kick this sub series off with something a little bit more light-hearted. You know, we're not gonna go into the CDA secrets of the takeaway industry on end of the day. Today, we are gonna be focusing on the world of, yeah, food reviews, restaurant reviews, all of the reviews that you look at and you think, what did that person just complain about? So before we dive into it and we go into the, you know, pardon the pun, the meat of this episode, what are your experiences? See you when, 'cause I know obviously you being a wrestler, you obviously have to watch what you're eating things, but when you're looking out for a restaurant or just a place to eat in general, what are the kinds of things that you look for? So over the last few years, it's got to be built with the hope the meats have stopped eating meat, so that'd be a big thing there is, can I actually eat them? Weirdly enough, certain locations, like Glasgow, for example, is fantastic. Really a Belfast, terrible place for me. It was over there, but I like a good atmosphere. Food's sick, I think I'm quite unforeseen. I very rarely go to a restaurant and go out, it's terrible. You know what I mean, I think just having food cooked to me is a good start. (laughs) Yeah, I'm not a fussy eater, I like a good atmosphere. I'm not big on crazy gimmicks. That's not a thing that really appeals to me. I get to want to have dinner with Mickey Mouse. I'm saying that, as someone who's came back with Japan, it went to the Pokemon cafe, "Bop pikachu, just standing above you, heavy breathing." - Pretty much, I mean, there's a great experience, but I think it's a bit different when it's a casual dinner going holiday. (laughs) I don't like my music, I don't have to put my oneie up, but I do have to chat at my restaurants. Yeah, I think that's a big thing, it's a good atmosphere. And I like to try different food tapes from my hairdresser. This is a weird segment to get a sort of a really, my hairdresser. It's doing, I think, the one that's having his mate have been going out the other third time and dinner. Every, like, once every week, once every two weeks. For the last year, I'm what they're trying to do is hit every single country in the world. I think it's as impossible, because I don't think every country in the world will be represented in Glasgow. But, yeah, that's what they're trying to do. So, to throw the question back at you, what are you gonna looking for? - Yeah, I have to say, the older I get, the older I wait to that, because I remember my partner and I were walking for a place to go. Very casual, nothing too bad before the cinema. And there was this particular restaurant, again, during this episode, I just want to point out that I'm probably gonna avoid as much as possible mentioning specific restaurants and things. - Yes. - Because I want someone to sponsor me one day, please. A cheeky sausage, or one to the table, yeah. (laughs) - That's Greg's, by the way, Greg's. (laughs) - Greg's, I love you, please. (laughs) - Great start to the episode. But there was a particular Italian restaurant that my partner and I went to. And not only was it over way expensive, it had such booming music. Every genuinely could not hear one another, 'cause it was family oriented, and I can get that, I can get one in a lively atmosphere. Even some of the buffet places have been too recently, and this is something that I genuinely didn't know until my partner pointed it out. But turned out in buffet places, they play really fast music. - Yeah. - Yeah. It's like a psychology thing. And I remember going to people being like, "Did you know this?" And everyone was like, "Yeah, yeah." (laughs) - Did you know it was Bradyack? - Yeah, exactly. - Are you stupid? I genuinely didn't know that. Yeah, I'm just grooving out to my fifth plate of whatever. (laughs) Like, you do realize you've eaten that in 20 seconds, and then what the hell? - Yeah, no, I totally agree with you. The music, it's just so difficult. And the other thing it puts me off, and this is actually one of my nightmares, this is my mercenary hours there, about sea restaurants that have a happy birthday protocol. (laughs) So, what I mean by that is you can ask the waiters or whatever to come out and sing you a happy birthday. That is my personal hell. That is my personal nightmare, which I know the irony of saying that being a podcaster who wants all the ears on him, but that is my nightmare. - Have you ever had it done? - No, never. And don't you dare. (laughs) - Just making a wee note here. (laughs) - If we go to a restaurant and you're like, "Oh my, I have to go to the toilet." Oh, clumsy me in my dietary requirements. - I also do have to go to the toilet at a restaurant. We have to be careful how far this goes. - I know. (laughs) I know. As long as it's not like a weather spins, where it's like you go outside and you have to, you know, trek to Mordor before you actually get into, you know, that's a rule that I say. (laughs) Don't mention any specifically weather spins. We offer you a please, lose sponsors. - We actually don't. - We don't, I know. I have to pick them up for the money. Don't judge me. I know what money put them. Anyway, yeah, the birthday signing as well. I have to say, the one thing that really surprised me and it's something that we touched on when we talked about our experiences traveling together was especially in America. And it does happen here, but it happens less frequently when you're in a restaurant and you're trying to eat and you do get the server coming up maybe once or twice to say, "You know, is everything okay?" They always do it while you're mid-spite. - That's an incredible skill. - Oh, it is. Yeah, it's just that almost as if they can sense it. And then they say, "Is everything okay?" And you don't have a chance to respond to it. "Mm-hmm, why would you do this?" But you know, I don't find that bad. I do find it bad, however, when you're getting harassed by people with like, "Oh, is everything okay?" And it's like, "Well, yeah, it's been that five minutes ago, about 50 times since I've been here." So yeah, that kind of puts me off. In terms of takeaway places as well, I have to say, I think it depends on, it sounds like a weird thing to say, but the atmosphere as well in terms of, if I'm going to a place like that, whether it's for fish and chips or something, or pizza, I just want to go and get my food to come out and everything. I remember I once went to a fish and chip place, and there was like this blood card-dolling screem outside, and I was like, "Yeah, I'm never coming here again." (laughing) Yeah, this is enough for me. So I ran back to my car, of course, the fish and chips were still warm by the end, but that's another story. - One thing we take away is fish and chips. For me, depending on what mood you're in, depends on what you want. So sometimes, especially a takeaway, you don't want good food. - Yeah. - The greasy of the box. If you can feel it soaking through the box, sometimes that's what you want. Seeing that out loud, I feel gross about it, but some days, I'm just like, "No, this is what I need." See, this is what always confuses me, and this is something, of course, we're going to get into in the main episodes, but it absolutely baffles me. See, when I read reviews and they're like, "Oh, the chips were greasy and so was the food," and I'm looking at this place, and 90% of the menu is just greasing a box. (laughing) And I just think, what were you expecting? - I once went to take away place, and I've told you about the mystery cake. (laughing) So there was this takeaway wearing the art to me. As in, the art location, why he's not needed it? - I don't think he needed the art to do it. The mystery cake, I'm so good on this. - So I was scrolling through, it must have been just the, or one of these apps anyway. I was scrolling through and, you know, I got my usual, and then at the bottom, it said, "Deserts." And I was like, "All right, "I wonder what they're gonna have." So there was just the usual stuff. But then there was one thing that just said, "Cake," and it did not specify what this was. It just said, "Cake." There was no "I" logo beside it. There was no information. It just said, "Cake." So I was like, "Right, okay, I'm gonna order this." First time I ordered it, it was unavailable. (laughing) Even more, we missed it. A couple of months later, ordered it again. It didn't appear in the box. So I was like, "Right, I have to know what this cake is." (laughing) So when it came around again a few months after that, I was like, "Right, I gotta order this cake." I don't care if I'm wasting money. I just need to know. Do you want to know what it was? Or should I keep it? I love to know if it's just chocolate cake. (laughing) It's such an antiquine magic thing that is like, "Why don't you put chocolate cake or?" No, that's so good. Genuinely, it was the most enigma-fying, if it's even the word. You know what, who's the real dummy though? Because you're like, "Oh, they should have put it on the menu." But you wouldn't have bought it if it said chocolate cake. In fact, you bought it multiple times to find out what it was. I think they're geniuses. Do you think we should just start a podcast called Cake and just look at what it was? (laughing) Yeah, it's just baffle and bark. Going back to where you were sitting there. Yeah, I do think that you have to have at least a baseline of expectations. I have to say though, there was one takeaway that I went to and I was expecting them to make. You know when you go in and you buy a pizza, but they make the dough and everything and you can tell they made the dough because it's all ski-wiff and everything, that's perfect. But there was one I went to and they were all totally perfect with all the holes in them. And they didn't realize until much later that they were all bought in. And that kind of thing puts me off when I see that there's no as much. Again, I know it's a takeaway, but people can still make really good foods. You know, foods with love and things like that, whereas this place it was just like yeah, sloped tomato sauce in the bottle and melted cheese on top. It was not nice, it was not nice at all. But speaking of a nice, well, we dive into the world of food reviews and this is going to be a crazy topic. So without any further ado, we're going to load up the takeaway app and we're going to have a look. So until then, enjoy these messages. - Welcome to Chats and Ami, a variety podcast that discusses topics from gaming and films to anime and journal interests.

(gentle music) - Hi, I'm Slade from the Game Club Podcast, and you're listening to Chats and Ami, a member of the PodPak Collective. - And we are back. So, Martin, while we kick things off with the first review that we came across. - But for it, oh, can I ask a question before we start? - Do you tell? - Yeah. - Do you have all these thin reviews? - Do I? No, because I'm with all those people that gets the wrong order, but it's too shy to say anything about it. I really should work in that, and that is something I'm working on, but there have been times where, well, more than I care to admit, where it's just landed on my plate, and I'm like, I didn't order this, but neither are they taking it away, so. Yeah, I've had a couple where I've even ordered to my house and everything, and it's like, I ordered it with coffee, and then they came and they gave me mortar, and then I'm standing, waiting for the coffee, and then they go, all right, see you later, and they walk away, and I've just got the cheer rolling down my face, going to my coffee. - Actually, in a very similar vein, the same place that I'd ordered from actually came into my house, I've told you this now, so I'd ordered something for lunch, and yeah, I just heard the door opening, and someone going, hello. (laughing) I was working from home at the time, and I turned round, and I was like, hello? (laughing) I don't think they realized that by opening my door, they were opening it into the actual house. I don't know if they thought there was a buffer zone, or something. I was like, I should really walk the door more, but it gave me my food, so it was fine, five stars. So to answer your question, no, not really, but what about you? - No, I actually don't, you then, I will sometimes, if something's really interesting, I will sometimes I'll leave five stars. Most times, I feel like leaving a one-star review is just, I'm not interested. If something's really bad, I would just ignore it and never go back. You know, you're like, I don't, if there's probably a bad attitude to have, 'cause then podcasts can't make fun of my reviews, but yeah, just very sad. - No, I know what you mean. I feel as if it's really bad, like the place I was saying before the ad break there, that I would never go back to it. You know, I wouldn't even give them my money. I mean, I've had places that have given me either food that's too salty, undercooked, and even though it's cheap, I'll just never go there again, but some people really take their food seriously, and honestly, God bless them, 'cause we wouldn't have this episode, but without any further ado, are you ready? - I'm ready. - Oh, the first one comes from a bakery, and the tagline, or rather the subject line was, asked what jam was in the jam do not. Now, granted, this is a very important thing, you know, if you're looking for dietary restrictions, but that's a one-star review left me cackling, and I don't know why. So this is what they said. They said, asked what jam was in the jam do not. Young lad just replied, I don't know, just jam. With three exclamation marks, my God. Suppose I can look it up. No care in the world. This was 5 p.m. first of June, blah, blah, blah, please. It should say on the food sign what it contains, most products did. Just the attitude of the member of staff. Now, see, asking what's in something I totally sympathize. That is a very important thing to have up, but it's just the thought of asking someone I like, "Hmm, just jam, just jam, do you want the do not?" (all laughing) Oh, should I take it, you know, you're like, "What? I was going to say, throwing it back to you "unless you have any thoughts." No, I have absolutely no thoughts on this. I've got, this one's just a bit wackiest, it's quite funny. And it's not so much the review itself, but I just want to read, this is on our Just Eat page. 30th of April, review from Graham, two stars. 31st of April, review from Graham, two stars. First of me, review from Graham, one star. (laughs) He's not leaving any comments, but the way that Just Eat works is you have to have ordered to leave a review. This man's ordered three days in a row, two stars, two stars, one star. The restaurant is still finding the plywood day free. Mate, he doesn't like your food, but are still ordering, what are you doing? (all laughing) This is so good, because I said, Just Eat does actually verify that you can't leave review without having done it. It's just a thought so much, it's a high mate. What are you doing? (laughs) So the next one, and I think it was one you sent me, it was a woman who said, "I saw a rat while sitting here, "and I've got no idea what the place is." But it's got a response from the owner that says, "That's cold and bitter." (laughs) The thing of takeaways of plying and being mean would never not be funny. I know it's a horrible thing to say, and I do feel for these people that are leaving terrible views, but there's always a bit of comedy getting slammed by a restaurant. A similar one is one in Glasgow, and I won't name it, but it's very, very famous. I actually believe in the same people. It's very, very famous for leaving slandered as comments. Is this the kebab place, by any chance? Yeah, someone say it's the best kebab place in Glasgow. Once I've reviewed on TripAdvisor, I cannot believe this place is not shut down. About a son home I don't have for his dinner, and soon after he was viciously sick. I've got this exactly it. (laughs) It was so bad he was viciously sick. Absolutely disgraceful, my son could have died. The response from the owner, "Tell your son I'm really sorry, "sorry that he won't be getting any more kebabs, he's bad." (laughs) It was horrible. That's been national news, by the way. (laughs) I honestly wish I could say, "Oh, I'm just kidding, huh?" But no, this chain of my maids, the newspapers, the outrage was so big. Oh, that's so good. In the similar vein, I was looking at a couple of, again, just eight ones. I've got one that I actually can remember, and I'm gonna lump these two together, but I genuinely can't remember where this review was for. But it's just from a woman that says, "Chips weren't cooked one star." (laughs) Just that's it. You know, brevity is the soul of work, volume shakes, and the takeout game here. Chips weren't cooked, just that's it. (laughs) Can you imagine being a restaurant owner and just seeing that and being like, "How'd you have to apply to that?" That sort of bothers me a lot of these reviews, like a lot of times it's just nonsense reviews. Obviously you get a lot of legit stuff, but you get people that are just obviously just leaving whatever they feel like saying. Just on that same note, I've got one here, and you know how he just eat those groceries. Now you can get it, you can see it shopping. So, on a grocery one from Gavin. I specifically said on the notes, no tomatoes in the veg, and there's more tomatoes than gyros response. That's not even a order. We don't do that product. Can you please check where your order from? (laughs) This is like groceries still getting like some random ones to our reviews, like for other people. What did you think you ordered from? I mean, that would be so annoying if you were ordering from there, or you're like two out of 10, you're a good stir-spice one. I'm so good. (laughs) Actually, speaking of that, speaking of unfulfilled orders, I've got a couple here, and it's some that, in fact, sorry, no, before I go on, I've got one from someone who is a guy who's just said the word terrible, but he's not even put one star. He's put one and a half stars, which either means it's a misclick, or he's one of those people that goes online and says that something's got seven out of 10, and it's just okay. Yeah, the idea is good. Exactly. This one's my favourite. This is kind of lumped in together for two of them. First one being in all caps and very misspelled, so the guy says never received the delivery. It went to the wrong house. Someone enjoyed my food. (laughs) Which I find hilarious, but the next one is another guy, one star again, missing items that were for my younger kids, sausage rolls. Now they're crying after eating, one hour and a half, and they changed it to a curry bake, which they won't eat. (laughs) That's so sad. Pop off when we get our lunch in. I don't know. (laughs) He's your curry bake, but I'm allergic. He's your curry bake. We got it now. (laughs) It's bad enough when your order goes absolute when missing, but have you ever had that before, whether like, oh, sorry, we don't have eggs, here's why? No, no. This is one of these things that you know that whole thing about what you're going to do. Stab me, says, man, they're just being stabbed, but I've never had any bad experiences for like, things going missing. If I obviously had food that goes a bit late, you know, that's good. - Yeah. - But never had anything that said it was late or food wrong and stuff like that. I don't know if maybe I'm just, is it because I ordered simple dishes or is it like, you know what I mean? I don't know. These people ordered complicated things that I've always wondered. I feel like it's never me for these things. - Yeah, no, I'm the same, I have to say. I mean, other than the cake, obviously, but we'll be ready in depth about that. - My next one is kind of like my finale. It's my favorite review of all time, but anything, food all the way. It's from a pub, this is quite a famous one. So there's three reviews on this pub. So five stars, and they're the review. So it was in the middle of two reviews. So bottom review, five stars, top review, four stars, good food, nice and clean, friendly staff. The middle review, however, three stars. For a pub, an old friend was murdered in. He was hacked to death for it was wife and people, not for me really, R.I.P. Steve, three stars. Jesus Christ. And I just thought like, what does he have to do to leave a one star review? 'Cause he was like, "So I'm a Diana's pub, three stars." What's the criteria here, like, what are you ranking? (laughs) - To quote an earlier review, chips weren't cooked. (laughs) - I just thought it was like, I have to leave a review, but I have to be honest about why I'm giving it three stars. You know, he couldn't just not leave that review. He's like, no, no, I have to leave a three star review, but so I would be murdered in a pub. - My God. - My God. - So you know how I was asking her, like, do you ever leave reviews? I just don't have to start the thought process of someone being like, I have to leave this review. I have to tell them, I'd give it three stars as well. - Yeah, I genuinely don't understand some people's thinking, especially for the last couple that I've got here, and I'm just gonna quick fire through them. (laughs) Because some of them are absolutely excellent. Again, I've got another one saying, in capital letters, which I always find hilarious. - Yeah, capital is a good thing. - It's a case of Schadenfreude, isn't it? - Well, it's just like taking happiness out the misery of others here, but it's just, I still haven't got my food, and I ordered it at 11.30, and that is now nearly 2.30. (laughs) - Yeah, that would be accurate in your food. - No, it is going, it's eating in the car. I'm sorry, sorry you had to find out this way. We've got another one from, when they say this is in the American one, where the person says, "The food was terrible. I ordered a chicken dish and got small pieces of batter dry chicken mixed in with batter prawns totally ruined this dish. Good job, I'm not allergic to prawns. I won't be ordering it from them again." You know, very standard, tune about stars, that's fine as it's own. But then, of course, the owner replies and says, "Hi, so-and-so, will you please open your eyes and read the descriptions? You ordered the special sweet and sour, which contains kind prawns. You got what you ordered, so how is this our fault? The food was fresh and perfectly cooked. We are good, but I'm reading the strip it as not one of our skills." (laughing) That's so mean, that's so funny. There is another one that I'm not going to read the food of you because it gets quite personal, but long story short, it sounds as if the writer of this left a one-star and said that one of the workers there was having relations with their husband, got very angry. I've heard this one out, this is fantastic. Do you mind if I read it out? Go for it, this is worth a read. This person says, "The girl who answers the phones of this takeaway, so-and-so, likes to sleep with married men back, their wives back." This is a takeaway review, by the way. "Do not order from here if you want your husbands to sleep with other women." She's 19, my husband should be laughing. My husband is four people out. Says a lot, doesn't it? She can't find people on the age, so she has to find the ultimate who are married. Food is awful as well. Finally. (laughing) I love that little teary-a-dope. We're heading to the Cruxia. Food is awful as well. Never liked the foods coming here for years, but won't be coming here again. We'll be going to Panda Hut from now on. This girl needs to be sacked. No professionalism and fluts with men on the phones all day, would give zero stars if I could. The response. Oh, yeah. If you thought the last one was perfect, oh my God. So the guy who applied said, "Apologies for the issue, please come to our store." They claim a free apple crumple. (laughing) It all gets better. Apologies again. Can't really show this message to the staff. (laughing) Can you imagine my husband's being unfaithful? (laughing) Can you imagine my poor apple crumple? (laughing) It's a sick spa. Where'd you even pick another? (laughing) Can you just come back with an apple crumple? (laughing) Is that it? That's what it is. It is. It is. It is. (laughing) I don't know what's worse. Obviously, the emotional I pour, or the fact that someone in the management said, "I can put a free apple crumple on my own fucking situation." Oh my God. When I was reading that, I thought there is no way that should show my own. (laughing) And just to wrap up, we have a couple of that, some of our amazing listeners had submitted, the podcast, The What Else Show, had sent in a good couple of restaurants, I have to say, all of them are pretty standard in terms of the reviews. There was one place that I was really surprised at. It was a place that it's supposed to be like a no-nonsense French restaurant, where you're not allowed to ask for substitutions or anything. You're just to have it as it is. I was reading through the reviews, and some people are very much like, "Oh, it was great, no-no-n-cents, you know, "Oh, you have to dress smart, blah, blah, blah." I mean, this person's just said, "One star, worst experience I've ever had, "tables I covered in plastic like a no-person's couch, "service is bossy, rude and pompous, "fed was decent, just not worth the hassle "that comes with dining with the man "that has no business being in the service industry." I think he's selling. I hope that someone who enjoys cooking can take over, such a shame to see so much Evo unchecked. There was another place for the chicken restaurant that said they had such high hopes for the place, but they waited over and over for two chicken sandwiches. Oh-ho. And they weren't even special. Their words, not mine. Just the basic ones they offer shouldn't take that long for two sandwiches. There was another one from our good friends at seismic cinema from the Podpack Collective. It was a family who were complaining about patrons who were on a night out for the work, that they were being very rowdy. Have you actually ever experienced that before? Well, you've gone to a restaurant and the table across from you are being very- Oh, yeah. I mean, that's kind of not the restaurant, so it wasn't it. Yeah, no, exactly. They've basically put the blame on the restaurant, saying, "Oh, they'd rather take their money "than ours and blah, blah, blah." And you're like, "Well, they're drunk. "They're wanting to throw money out here. "I can see where the priority's locked." As bad as the penultimate one is from the Krusty boys podcast who says, "All right, here's what I've heard from the place I work at. "Best Caesar salad I have ever had, "and I've even eaten Caesar salad in New York." Oh, like that. (laughing) The Humblebrag. Just New York sale. The really good Caesar salad. I had no idea. I didn't know the same as for it. It's probably its least famous, famous food. (laughing) And the other ones where are from the same person, these are the best nachos I've ever had, and I'm from Florida. (laughing) The next one, Yobam. These fries are banging. (laughing) And last but certainly not least. (laughing) They don't even have Chinese food and parentheses. We are a pizza place. (laughing) Which, absolutely awful, but the final one that I have to leave us all fun because I found this in Reddit, I cannot stop laughing. Honestly, if this is fake is one of the best pieces of pros that I've read this year. So this is someone reviewing a restaurant. They've given it two stars. Again, much like yourself. I don't know what they would have to say to be one star. But they've said, "Been here a few times." And each time, it's felt like I'm in the middle seat of a three hour flight between a couple who's on the verge of a divorce, but neither one wants to bring it up. Or at the intervals for the holidays, and Grandma is still somehow alive. So you've got to go to church at 7 a.m. Or you're stuck in the line at the self-checkout. Watching a woman old enough to have dated Abraham Lincoln try and get a coupon to scan. Or your neighbor's got a new dog. (laughing) Or it gets better. Or your neighbor's got a new dog. And it's trying to show you it knows tricks that it's been 15 minutes. (laughing) And all the dog is done is bark. Every second I have spent here, I've been dreaming of being somewhere else. Two stars, 'cause it keeps the people who lived the lives I mentioned above, cut out in one location. (laughing) That is one of the greatest slum down reviews I can have ever read in my life. - That's so good. - I mean, next to the apple pie affair. - That's incredible. - I've actually got a final, a cheery one. Ooh, do tell. - It's a one star review, but as much as I thought it was quite cute. One star review. Take a first date here, 'cause I really wanted it to be the last date. Unfortunately, the food came out delicious and very fresh tasting. They were not rude to my date at all, which pissed me off, 'cause I was really biking on that. (laughing) That was it, I just wanted to share that one. - I have to say, it reminds me of when you were telling me about the time you went to one of those. Was it like a rude, rich one? - Oh, yeah. - That was a gimmick, yeah. The thing is, I'm always confused when I see negative reviews for those places, and it is like the staff were rude to them. - Yeah, what did you want? - Did you not expect this one? (laughing) I mean, to be honest, if you get that here, it's like a rite of passage. (laughing) So, I'm sorry, but no, I'm not dealing with this going. So, what are your final thoughts? (laughing) - That was a whirlwind rite of bizarre things. I'm glad we're at Me Too, Me Too.
