Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming to you live from Durham, North Carolina. That's right, every Tuesday is a ticked off Tuesday where you, the listener, complain to me, the podcaster, comedian, and I complain with you. It is a complaint show. That's what we do. If you want. I'm sorry. This is like the first words I've said today and I knew I would start and then air would build up and I would burp. I wish the word burp didn't have such a disgusting connotation because I don't even like saying it at this time of day. I'm taping this, you know, to give you kind of the time and Place. It's 9am I'm in Durham. I did the show in Durham last night. Let me just say what a fun audience. Had such a blast. I'll talk more about it on Coffee with J Train. That is a a subtle pivot to how you get involved with Ticked off Tuesday. If you want to be a part of TikTok Tuesday, sign up for the Patreon. Patreon.com Jared Free the link is in the bio of the episode. Wherever you're listening and five bucks a month get you first dibs on complaining with me. Now today we have four complaints. The first one is from the mailbox. Now, Jared had that happen. Well, the Patreon is not using their complaints as much this week. That's fine. That's totally great. That is their prerogative. Sometimes I use a word and I'm just like hoping it's right. So I'm hoping prerogative. I used it right now. It has a picture, so I haven't read it yet. But because I like to do this improv style, I like to do this right with you as you hear it. So I do think if you're going to send in a complaint and you don't want to sign up for Patreon, which that is your prerogative. I think I used it right but we'll see. I'm looking for feedback here and I, I think a picture would help you. So, like, you know, the complaints that come to the mailbag. We want some real thorough, meaty complaints. You know, Patreon will. Will take whatever they give us. Mo. Well, not whatever they give. You know, we. Well, it is whatever they give us. That's kind of the promise there. So, you know, we, the Patron subscribers, though, I do, I do think they take a lot of pride in their complaints. And I'm. And they're always very good. I mean, we, I, we haven't really had a miss here. We don't miss. So sign up for Patreon to become a part of Tik Tok Tuesday. Today. I have, I'm looking at my complaints. My complaints come from, like, the kind of the hotel experience I had here. And, and I'm like, let me just say, I really like. I'm. I'm at a hotel in Durham that's very nice. It's a former bank. It is. And here's my thing with a former bank hotel. You're going to walk in and you're going to do a lot of. And if you're new here, we start with my complaints. Then we go to the listener complaints. I have two ads, so it's going to go my complaint. Ad, listener complaint. Ad, listener complaint. For the rest, three listener complaints. So. And I'm in Durham right now. I'm going to be in Charlotte tonight. But you are listening to this on Tuesday after those shows. Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Thanksgiving weekend. I'm doing this. You know, this is, you know, I do this because I figure maybe some people will be around family during this time of year. During Thanksgiving, you gotta go south. Oh, my God. I gotta go to Grandma Grampy. I gotta go to mom and Dad. I gotta bring the whole, you know, kids. I gotta listen to them. So take a night and listen to me and laugh. That's the deal. Other than that, Royal Oak, Michigan. I am. That is mishpocha. I have been going to Royal Oak. I've been going out Detroit my whole life. My mom is from there, so I have a lot of family coming. I would love for you to come. And I'm going to be in Columbus, Ohio. Columbus. Get those tickets. That's a. Columbus has always been a town tough for me. I don't know what it is. And that's a growing young area, so. And I'm a growing young boy. So I'm going to be in Orlando, San Diego for New Year's and then Philadelphia starts out the new year. So jaredfree.com for tickets. So my complaint, I get to this hotel, it's 21C. I'll give you the name of it. Let me, let me say that when I told someone I was staying here, they're like, does your room not have windows? And that's kind of bringing me into my complaint. When you get into a, a hotel that was once a bank, that was once something else, you have this moment where you come in and you go, ooh, ah. Oh. And you. And honestly, Jared Freed, if I'm to speak as douchey as possible in the third person, Jared Freed wants to stay in a hotel that's a little kitschy, a little different. And that's why I have pushed the autograph collection. And I think that's the Bonvoy version. There's a Hilton version. There's a bizarro Hilton version of everything that Marriott does. I, I, I'm not, like, on a team here unless they, I think Hilton actually gave me some free nights. So, yeah, do Hilton, do Bonvoy, whatever it is. Hilton has their version of the autograph collection where they have gone into two hotels that are kind of kitschy, a little bit nicer, and they really price them right. It's right around, you know, 200, 250 a night. It goes a little bit lower, it gets a little bit higher, you know, depending. But it is in a place that's downtown generally and, and has, like, the, this, I would say, personality. This place, 21C. It might not be an autograph collection. Whatever it is, I get in here, you know, check in on the second floor. Okay, go to the second floor. I go to check in. And this is part of my complaint. This wasn't my initial complaint, but I, I, I hope people will understand where I'm coming from, because this is the complaint of someone who puts themselves out out there publicly. If you are someone who puts yourself out there. And I get in to the hotel, and the guy at the front desk, he goes, immediately I get off the elevator, take a right, take a left, there's the front desk. The guy goes, the guy is helping two other people. He goes, you look familiar. And I'm like, I guess I got one of those faces. Like, now I am being asked to do an improv scene with a new partner. When you say you look familiar. Now, listen, I think you, if you are saying you look familiar, you have put, you have tossed the ball to someone else to do something with that ball. I hate That I, I, I. If you're going to say you look familiar, it's got to be followed up with, I got a friend who looks just like you. Whatever it is, it can't be just nothing, because now, especially for me, where you look familiar and I am someone who puts themselves out there. And this isn't me saying that's better or worse. It just is. I am making podcasts and making Instagram videos and making TikToks, and I never shut the fuck up. All I do this for is so that people will come to my shows. I do this. I love doing this podcast. I love doing the Tik Tik Toks. I love doing questions on Instagram. But all of it is to sell a ticket so that I can have my standup, get seen and heard and laughed at. And when you say, you look familiar, what do I do? What am I supposed to do? And. And you say, well, Jared, you know, my mom and dad's response to this complaint would be, well, tell him you're the comedian that he probably saw. No, I'm not going to do that. No, I'm not. That's the most embarrassing thing I can do. Because here's what happens. Oh, you look familiar. Well, maybe you've seen my comedic stylings on the Internet. No, I don't. You're a com. You're a comedian. No, I don't know you from that. No, you're funny. Really? Huh. So you think you're funny? No, I've never seen your stuff. I would say you look like my friend from college. That's why you look familiar. Not because any of your things that you care about and put out there were funny in even the slightest way to me. See how I'm set up for the. Just the most horrific feedback I could ever get in my life? And I am not saying more. People don't know me that know me. So when someone says, you look familiar, I don't assume they know me from comedy. I just sit back and go, I don't. Okay, you tell me why I look familiar. I'm not gonna. It is almost like a bear trap to make me look bad and look like a cocky loser so I get past this moment. Well, they didn't have my room, so I checked my bags. I go get some breakfast. I went, no, I go get some lunch because I got here at, like, noonish one, and I'll go over the rest. Well, I guess there's not much to go over. I went to 9th Street Bakery, which I highly recommend if you're in Durham and you're looking for like a coffee, bakery, cookie sandwich. The sandwich was fantastic. Like, and sandwich. I ruin a sandwich, I go eat the sandwich and I'm like, oh, I'll have two cookies afterwards. And now I don't even get to like, have a moment thinking of how good that's it. The sandwich was perfectly sized. It was delicious. It had peppers, hot peppers on it. Like you would put on like an Italian sub or a Italian sausage. And sometimes an ingredient, a topping, surprises you. Someone put some thought into those peppers because they were fantastic. So here's what, like, got me on this complaint about this hotel, which, which I'm sitting in the room right now and I do like it. Now that I'm set up, I will say, like, I'm like, I feel good about the shape of it, but I'm in a corner room. And when someone said to me last night, oh, maybe, maybe you might not have a window, it makes sense because. And I, I wouldn't want to be here windowless is my point. So I'm in a room with corner room with great windows and views and all that stuff. And the shower looks out and you can take a shit while looking at the sunset, which I did last night. And. But here's the thing about Old bank that is now a hotel. The outlets just are a problem. And there's one next to the bed and then there's on either side of the bed. Fine. But to. For my computer to set this up, to do this podcast, there's an outlet behind this couch that I'm sitting on. I'm just saying let's set up the outlets in such a way where I noticed you over outleted. Like, let's not have a room where you tried a little bit. Let's understand this is a special situation where I'm staying in an office of a former bank. And maybe the outlets weren't built for a hotel. So let's do so many outlets that you go, they gotta have enough outlets now because they're just in awkward places. I'm charging my, you know, my, my I, my, my Apple watch on the floor. I'm doing the computer, I got to move out the couch, I got to turn into a mover. And this brings me to the final complaint. The Internet. Yesterday it took me a minute to get on the Internet and I go to the, you know, to all the networks and there's like guests of the hotel and then there's hotel staff. This bothers me in such a way. Why do we have two Internets. Let's just have one that we concentrate on and make sure it's so good that we don't need to. Let's put your staff. And I'm sure someone works in the industry and can tell me why there needs to be a staff Internet and a people Internet or a guest Internet. I don't get it. Why would I split the difference? Why would I make two different Internets and then go, yeah, we're just having issues while the staff one's cooking. And this happens every now and again. I've had this issue at other hotels where they're like, let me just give you the staff password. And that makes me even angrier. Why are we holding on to the staff Internet? Like, what are people getting on it and throwing their shit everywhere? Because it's not their own. Like, I don't know how people could be more care. Caring for the staff Internet in a way that the guest wouldn't be to have two Internets. So this is while I had trouble getting on their Internet. Finally it got on it, and now I'm on it, and it's pretty good. So, like, this is kind of like, in conclusion, I recommend this hotel. That's why I'm like, I don't want people to take this as, like, don't ever stay here. Because. And in conclusion, the guy at the front desk was a very nice guy, you know, took my bag. So I, I. So I don't want people saying that I hated it here. I'm just saying if I were to come in, I would do a couple subtle things to help this place out. Like, that would be a great. I would love to be, like, a consultant for all things. I would. I. I think I would be a good. I think most people think that about themselves. I would be a good. Like, here's one thing. Here's one. Let me. That's what the name of my business will be. Here's one thing. Here's one thing. And I'm like your most annoying customer. J train podcast, gmail.com it is ticked off Tuesday.

We have one more sponsor. I'm going to do it before we get to the other ones because I just, I want to be able to complain and just sit here and really bathe in it. Hero bread. Stop skipping the toast with breakfast and grab hero bread. I have ordered more hero bread because I'm about to be home for a couple weeks and it's because I keep hero bread in the freezer.

J j train podcast gmail.com Jared Huge fan. I've been to four of your shows. Thank you so much. Even gifted tickets to friends who are in when you're in their cities. That means, like, I hope you know how much that means to me. That is so awesome. Anyways, on to being ticked off. Let's get ticked off. My husband went on a camping trip with his best friend from college and two other guys. So best friend, two other guys. The next day, my friend sent me a screenshot showing my husband had randomly sent her a weird photo of one of the guys wearing a hat with a hot dog attached, saying, beware. My husband was already home, swore he didn't send it, and when he checked his phone, the photo was gone. Just her response left. Hmm. So she sent the picture. Hot dog on a hat. And it's a Chattahooch hat. So hot dog on the hat. Beware and then the friend wrote back, now what's this about? So the friend didn't say, see, had no idea what this is about either. Few hours later, he finds the same photo sent to four other people on his MacBook. His brother, an uncle he barely knows, and two high school friends he hasn't talked to in over 10 years. This is all weird. And you know, if I'm to go into like friend giving you advice mode, if you're like, why is he texting my, my friend with a photo? Okay, that's off. Do they have what's going on here? And then it's when you put together the, the end of the story. His brother and uncle he barely knows. Two high school friends he hasn't talked to in over 10 years. Okay, something is off about the phone. I would assume again, all deleted from his phone. He immediately assumed his best friend did it. He's pulled bizarre dishonest stuff like this before. That is not someone I would ever call my best friend. That's, that's, this is annoying. I, I think like sending things from your phone to people that are just in your phone over the years, that is like a betrayal on the level of sleeping with my wife. Like I, I am, I wouldn't want to hang out with that person. He's pulled like, and he's pulled bizarre dishonest stuff like this before. Like, no, I, I, I'm out on this guy. But to me, the sneaking, the deleting and assuming he'd never get caught feel straight school bully behavior. Yeah. No, no, no, no. It's, it's immature at its highest form. I'm fuming. My husband doesn't want to confront him. Yeah, this is like, yeah, this is, this is something like the male female dynamic that I've kind of come to terms with of like I am like your husband. I don't want no trouble. I don't want no trouble. I don't want no drama. That's why you don't see like a lot of men with story times on TikTok. I also think that's because women don't act as disgustingly to be story timed about. But I'm saying you don't see a lot of this like getting involved with the Bravo drama. Like I, the, the one tick tock that like kind of gets to me but like I'll accept it is woman telling me what's going on in Bravo celebrities life and they're like adding to the discourse of a story that's like kind of overheard and a Little bit disgusting. And you're like, who are you weighing in from Omaha? You know, and they're, they don't even get dressed up to make the video. It's like, not even professional. They're in, like, the pilliest sweatsuit you've ever seen. I heard that. Kelly Ben Simon. You're like, what? How do you know? But Kelly Bin Simon lives on the Upper east side. You're. You're in Detroit. So, like, you don't see a lot of men doing that is my point. And it kind of goes to the point and, like, if we, like, backtrack it to normaly. Your husband who's like, yeah, that's how he is. I do this trip once a year to keep up the friendship. I, you know, I'm just going to let it lie and maybe I won't hang out with him again. And that's kind of, you know, the idea of a friend breakup is not in my. My thought process, and I think it's not in your husband's thought process. And you're writing. I'm fuming. My husband doesn't want to confront him. I told him I might when we see him at a mutual friends party next weekend. Oh, he's got a little attack dog. I like you. And he said that that was fine. Right. He'd honestly prefer it so he can avoid the conflict I'm with. I get. I understand you. I understand your husband. I understand why you might be annoyed at your husband that he wants no trouble. And you're like, I'm enraged. That would be annoying to me. I'm seriously so enraged that I'm going to go argue with someone that I don't have to argue with on your behalf and you don't care at all. I'm not trying to start a fight with your husband, but I. Because I see his side. Like, no, no, no. Like, I would be. We're all just a bunch of wusses. So now I'm annoyed at the friend for being a weirdo and annoyed at my husband for not saying anything. I knew it. Signs. Standing up to the best friend. Bully. Here's what I would take. Here, here's my bat. Here's my feedback to you. And then I'll agree with you. My feedback to you. Let's not call him a bully. I. I don't think your husband is at home crying about all the texts his buddy sent and made him feel bad about it. I think the word bully adds a. A flavor to this, that if I'm your husband, I'm like, I, I wouldn't buy it like if I'm you. The, you know, the, the, the flavor of this and what I would describe this as, as an immature friend who hasn't grown up and that your husband has passed by, your husband has evolved and this person has not. That's like a more, that's actually a more complimentary way to look at it from your like to give. To kind of say this to your husband again. If I'm to start my consulting business where I go to hotels and tell them how to like do the one fix, I could go to wives and give you one language fix that would maybe get you to get your husband to care a little bit more because it is way more complimentary and aspirational. When you say, hey, you're like above this. You're above having a friend who goes into your phone and you know, stirs things up with an uncle you don't speak to. Like, this friend doesn't really get it. And so I would say that annoys me. I'm annoyed with you. Everything you said. Like, I don't want, I wouldn't. I think your husband would probably rather let this friend fizzle and maybe write LOL back to a text every six months to this guy and never talk about this rather than confront him. If you confront him. I, I would. If I'm you. You didn't ask for advice. You asked for a complaint partner, which I have been. And I think you're right about everything except referring to this as bullying. Because I, I think bullying is like the word privilege where it never continues the conversation. It only makes people put their fists up. So. But my advice to you, I would form a text for your husband and not a breakup text like you're looking to do. Probably it would be like, hey, I'm. I'm a 35 year old man. Whatever age you are, I listen. And you, you write it for your husband to write to him. Because he does. Your husband does need to like end this. Hey, at this age, I saw that you texted some people from my phone. Or at least I think you did it. If you didn't, I'll back off if you did. You have a history of doing things like that that really make me feel uncomfortable. I like hanging out with you, but stuff like this is the reason I won't anymore. And if you can't really see my side of things, I gotta like back away from this friendship. Like, I think something like that. I think you gotta go somewhere between you two a little bit kinder than you would normally be, a little bit more angry than he would normally be. Jtrain podcastmail.com Jtrain podcastmail.com the rest are from Patreon subscribers. I'm pushing the Patreon because along with the ads, that is what's paying for the YouTube. You know, V, who produces the show. V's got to make a living too. So it is in her, you know, we, we talk a lot about how do we get more people to Patreon. If you like the YouTube, which I love it, we have a video up from Milwaukee. Behind the scenes. You can see kind of like the Milwaukee show was weird in like a really fun way. I would compare it to like Durham last night. Maybe. That was my vibe. I had a weird vibe. They kind of allowed for it. Sometimes a crowd has to allow for it. And I think Durham did and so did Milwaukee. I'm just like so happy with everything going on. I, I, I'm sitting here sometimes. I, I'm like, jared, shut the up about Patreon. I'm just saying, I, I'm, I'm happy. All right, Jared. Oh, also, I was on the toast last week. I had such an amazing time. I just love what they're doing and, and the feedback was like, I don't even know what to do with it. So if you want to go watch or listen to me on the toast, I would love for that you to do that as well. And Jackie and Claudia are so nice or have been amazingly nice to me. This has been great. So, Jared, all the feathers to you. Hope Del Rey is treating you well. I hope so too. You'll know on Tuesday if you look at my stories. Maybe I'm sitting on the beach. I've got a ticked off Tuesday luxury lounge complaint. I'm planning a cross country move from Seattle to Boston. Congratulations. So two days ago, I ordered a specific four piece mirror box online from a nearby U Haul to pack my big round mirror. My confirmation email told me to pick it up tonight, but instead of it being set aside, the associate went to look after I arrived and then told me they were out because the guy right before me bought the last three. No, no, no, no, no. This is the Seinfeld episode. This is the Seinfeld episode where they get the car rental. And he's like, what's the point of the reservation? You like, you went online, you ordered them. Those are yours. The line is irrelevant when you get to the U Haul place. If I placed and paid for the order two days ago, shouldn't My box have been pulled and held before someone else cleared them out. Yes, yes. This is. This is grounds for free boxes to me. Like, this is me. If I'm you, I'm going to U Haul and being like, explain how this works, why you have my money and I don't have boxes. What's the point of ordering ahead if the confirmation email means nothing and I made a wasted trip Anyways, this is Seinfeld. Seinfeld did this on an episode. They go to the rental car place and they have this like this great conversation where Jerry's like, why would I make a reservation? And you can tell it was a bit from his act. And there's like the studio audience like, does like a. Like a cheer, like. Yeah. Cause we've all dealt with this. We all don't understand why reservation. And we do understand they're playing a dangerous game of poker. They're hoping that you will be fine 99% of the time. And it's that 1% where the guy in front of you buys three boxes and you're like. And you're shit out of luck. And they'd rather deal with you complaining than having to spend the extra money to have the extra boxes there or miss out on the sale that you might not show up on. And now they can sell it twice. It's all this. That to me, the issue here is the eradication of the mom and pop shop. And I'm not even talking about, like old fuddy duddy coffee shop on the corner. I'm saying, you know, there's a point where Mr. U Haul was walking around the offices. You know, this is the problem with shareholders. I'm not. I'm a capitalist who gets annoyed at capitalism. Like, this is one of those. Because right now I'm sure you feel small. Who are you going to go to call the complaint line, Then you call it, press 1 to complain. You know, it basically takes you through all these steps where your complaint loses strength. And that's annoying. J train podcast gmail.com. j train podcast@gmail.com. my ticked off Tuesday happened. Flying back to Maine from a work trip in Austin. I would imagine that's not an easy day of flying because you're going west, west to east, which means you're losing hours, and you gotta probably connect. When I got on my JFK connection saw, I was stuck in the back of the plane and immediately clocked the woman next to me. I told myself not to judge. Maybe it was gel, but no, it was straight up grease and she smelled like she hadn't bathed in a month. So you got on your JFK connection. So you go Austin to jfk, JFK to Maine and you next to you next to someone who smells like they haven't bathed in a month. It was the worst one hour flight. So you're. This is the JFK to main flight. It was the worst one hour flight of my life. I wrapped my scar over my eyes and nose, tried not to make her feel badly by moving and sat there in full flight or fight. Fight or flight while the shut hold on. Tried not to make her feel bad by moving and sat there in full fight or flight while the shutdown and air traffic news made my anxiety spike. We landed after midnight. I got home at 1am and my body didn't come down until 4:30 after taking an anti anxiety pill. Wow. I had thought about switching to an empty seat but when we landed the guy next to that spot stood up covered in dandruff and I honestly don't know what was going on with the hygiene on that plane. Well, I'm sorry you went through this. This is, I mean it does suck. It's. All of this is no fun. You don't want to be next to someone who is making you feel uncomfortable and I'm with you. The should I move? Should I not move? The hardest part about that is like they're going to go, why do you need to move? And you like, I don't want to be mean. I don't want to be the person that's like, you know, who am I to judge? This is their look, this is what they're going for. Maybe they're wearing a gel that I don't agree with the smell. Or maybe they do smell. Like this is the thing about smell is like it's, it's an opinion, it's subjective. So I understand the discomfort with like, I want to move. I can't move because now I'm embarrassing someone. I'm not looking to do that. But they've put me in a position to have to move. So I'm mad at them and now I'm mad at myself. And that's where I, I agree with you. Like the way, you know, getting home at one and not being able to sleep because you're like, yeah, I, I would assume and this is how I would be, that I'd be up all night being like, Jared, you're 40, you can't speak up, you can't do the right thing. You can't. You, you're still dealing with this and you start to like go down the rabbit hole of like, like self. You, you beat yourself up and here I'm here to tell you I would have done the same thing. I would have sat there, I would have been annoyed at it and I would have done nothing because I would have said it's an hour, going to be fine. You know, just get through it. And then I would have been at home being like, oh, Jared, you can't just move your seat. What are you wuss. You can't do it. So I hope you feel heard by that because this is annoying. Last complaint. And I want to thank you guys. If you're listening right now, that means you enjoy the show. Means a lot. I love doing the show. I don't get why pumpkin spice lattes are the most celebrated drink of the season. I finally tried one and honestly, it tastes like liquid fall flavored disappointment signed, questioning all season hype. Here's, here's my feedback here. Here's the. You're right. And honestly, it's not about the fall. It's not about the pumpkin spice lattes. It's about when a joke becomes a meme, becomes a zeitgeist thing. Because pumpkin spice, we're probably past it's apex. We are probably way over the hump. There was a pub and this is the way things go. You hear about something, it gets hated on, it gets debated, it gets joked about and then it's just in this, it's just in society. And honestly, there's no way considering virality, so considering how viral things can go. And I'm going to relate this to something that is not pumpkin spice. But I'll relate this to something because you're going to start to hear, I've started. Let me relate this to something that I think is like similar but different. So the pumpkin spice thing, it's where, you know, you go, how good could this be that people love it so much and no one loves it so much? People like to say they got it because it's something that makes you sound interesting, funny and part of the conversation. So. And then there's the feedback of like, why are we even talking about this? And you go, and you are right. Why are we even talking about this? It's a flavor, people like it, it's not that great to me. It's a, it's pretty great to you. I'm sure people who love it don't love it as much as maybe it feels like they love it. And people who hate it don't hate it as much as they say they hate it. Like you. You're saying you're more punching back at the noise of pumpkin spice latte, which I understand. I think this is like, you know, 67. 67 is like, what all the kids are saying. And I. I genuinely. It puts a smile on my face because from my point of view, 6, 7. And if you have kids, you probably know about this more. There's like a line in a song where it became like, what would happen in a cafeteria, like, you know, at a high school there. I remember from high school, there were things that became things. But it never got beyond your high school because how would it. There's no Internet now. The Internet exists. So the high school stuff happening at one high school, then go to the next and the next and the next. Somewhere there's a kid who came up with the 67 thing, and he doesn't even know he came up with it. He might have forgotten. He might go. Or she. Whoever they are, they might go. I was doing that pretty early, but they might have been the actual creator of it. And they take their hand, they go up and down like this. I'm doing a maybe with their hand. And now the 67 thing has gotten so huge that I hear people my age being like, what is this? What does it mean? Oh, I hate it. I hate it. And it's like, no one hates it. No one loves it. It's a thing. Kids have fun doing it. They're probably having the most fun doing it with grownups not knowing what the hell they're doing. And they're like, no, I do it all the time. And you go, what does it mean? And then they go, it means don't worry about it. And they're just fucking with older people who can be fudge with. And nothing is more fun as a child than having one on an adult. So when I hear the pumpkin spice, your feedback, and I agree with you, you're. I agree with what you. I think you're angry with, which is like, we're talking about this thing a lot. What's the reason we're talking about it? And you're just curious as what's. What's. The reason we're even into pumpkin spice? And I would say to you, no one's as into it as they say they are. And six, seven means nothing, and no one cares. It's not a big deal. And it's fun for kids to fuck with adults. And it's like, that's all it is. So ticked off Tuesday, every Tuesday. Back next week, boom.
