I'm here right now because I'm opening for the great and legendary Jon Stewart. I did his show last night in Raleigh. Gonna do it again tonight. So funny. If you get a chance to see him, he's fantastic. I got three ticked off Tuesdays, and I got two advertisements. I'm saying it like the English, cause I'm coming to London. The advertisements are in the description of the episode, as always. So three ticked off Tuesday, I'm ticked off. I got my own. I wanted to go into this. I went to a restaurant in the hotel in Raleigh. Okay. And it's called Jimmy V's, which I'm sure is after the legendary basketball coach Jimmy Valvano, who used to coach at NC State. I'm going to go to their restaurant. Here's my issue. They serve a pizza there. And I gotta say my complaint. I. I love the service. The pizza was fine. The. I got the wings. I got the garlic palm wings, which I don't. The garlic parmesan. I don't know when that became a flavor. When that entered into the. The regulars, so to speak. When did that get in the. You know, the eight crayon crayola pack? When did garlic pom pom pom pom. Garlic parm, I guess would be. I'm saying it like my dad would say it. Garlic. Pam, want some garlic? Garlic palm. My dad doesn't have that thick an accent, but I would just say. This is Vin, Jimmy V's Austeria and bar. So it is an Italian place. Can I read you this pizza menu? Here's what we want. My issue was how they missed on the pizza menu. This is my problem. If you're gonna have a pizza menu, let's have. Let's not go too crazy. I know I could probably order what I want from the pizza menu. I could probably do my own. But I want you to get creative. But I don't want you to go nuts because it just seemed like Jimmy V went a little nuts because I got the margarita. Buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil. The margarita. I got it. Well done. I always get pizzas. Well done. That's a little something for you if you want to do that. Got the margarita, because honestly. But I was. I was up for, like, anything. I was really up for, like, hey, let's see what they do. Here are the other choices. And I'm by myself, so I can't be like, you get the margarita, I'll get this one. You can't take chances by yourself. And we're going to get to that later. Here's the 25 barbecue chicken, bacon, pickled red onion and scallions. What is that now? That's fine. As long as that's your crazy pie. But that's not even the craziest pie. You might say, I like all those things. Yeah, but if you're by yourself, you're not taking a chance. If you're with a group of four, are you getting the barbecue chicken, bacon, pickled red onion, and scallions? Are you keeping. Is everyone in the group gonna like all those together? I think you're getting one person that's like, ah, excuse me, I'm not a pickled red onions guy. Can we get a that with no. And now you're off of their creative direction. Here's the thing. If you have it on the menu, for me to ask for something not on the dish, it takes a lot. I have to really hate that thing. While also want the thing you came up with. Kind of. I don't like when people make changes to menu items. I don't mind if they go off the board. They go, hey, you got pizza and you got mushroom and onion. Can you just do mushroom onion pizza? That's different than, hey, can I get the 25? I know it comes with barbecue chicken, bacon, pickled red onion, and scallions. Can I get it with no pickled red onions and no scallion? Now, there was a flavor this person was going for, this head chef that you've kind of ruined. So that one, I don't know. I, I, I. Again, if it was the only crazy pie, fine. Jimmy V's pizza. This is what Jimmy likes. Pepperoni, salumi. I don't know how that's different from salami, Italian sausage, mozzarella. That's a meat lovers. Okay, I'm not getting a meat lovers. I love a meat lovers. Don't get me wrong. I would love a meat lovers at dinner time. I don't want to go to sleep with regrets. And I think if I got the Jimmy V's pizza, my first thought was, Jared, you'll be angry at yourself later if you get pepperoni, salumi, and Italian sausage and mozzarella. That is just. You're gonna go be sitting on a toilet with a stomachache going, you knew it. It may be Jimmy V's favorite, but you can't handle it. Okay, here's the Bianca whipped herbed ricotta, spinach, prosciutto, mozzarella, parmesan, roasted garlic, olive oil. Now, I'm sure that's fine if that's your only off brand cheese item. It is not. It's also the second of four. That is a wild pizza order. Whipped herb ricotta. I've never Liked that on pizza. It always feels like I'm getting through it to get to the part of pizza I want to eat. Spinach, fine. Prosciutto, fine. It's tough on a pizza because it's usually not cut up enough. So it's a tough chew. And you end up eating all ricotta or all. You end up eating all prosciutto or all pizza. And you don't get like a little piece of each mozzarella, parmesan, roasted garlic, olive oil. Honestly. And here's the problem now that's like a white pizza. Like, that's not. You're not getting the tomato sauce either. Here's the forager, which is where I almost went. This is kind. The forager was so close to being the gently askew pizza. I wanted Wild mushroom goat cheese on a pizza. It's too much. It takes over the whole thing. Caramelized onion, tea, brined figs. I can't roll my eyes enough. Arugula, aged balsamic. Listen, you don't need t brined figs and aged balsamic on one pizza. There is so much going on here. I don't know where the pizza would begin and the dish would end. I don't know. The forager, if you're gonna call it the forager, just have wild mushrooms and onions with and then put in that garlic olive oil that we had from the other the Bianca. Do that. You just. They flew too close to the sun. And you know what? Jimmy V's you got burnt because wild mushroom, the goat cheese. Just do a regular, a regular well done pie with wild mushrooms, caramelized onion. Put on the arugula and then do that garlic olive oil. That's the, that's the move. And here's the last pie before I move on from this. This one is why I'm doing this. Ticked off Tuesday, vegan butternut squash pizza. I don't know who's ordering that. I don't even think a vegan's ordering that. If I'm vegan, I'm going, what are you doing to us? We just want pizza that tastes like pizza. That's going to be vegan. Vegan butternut squash pizza. Is it a dessert? Is it for Thanksgiving? I just don't think you can not be a pizza place because this is an Italian restaurant that does pizza. And they had wood fire wood burning ovens, which is delicious. And that's what I want. But I see this and you go, roasted garlic kale mushrooms, butternut squash, lemon almond ricotta. No no, nobody wants that. Nobody's seeing that and going, ooh, got to try that. No, you're going. Unless this place, which it isn't. It. It's a. It's a fine restaurant. I enjoyed the pizza. I enjoyed the garlic palm wings that were. I don't know why that's like one of our go to flavors now. But it was fine. It that to me. I better find out that that chef is the greatest butternut squash maker in the country. Like, that's the only reason I could see that you did all this stuff. Roasted garlic kale, mushrooms, butternut squash, lemon almond ricotta. Why do we have to have the butternut squash and the lemon almond ricotta? That's the thing. They go too far with all these pizzas. It made me so angry because I did want to get a specialty pie. The specialty pies went too special, and now you got me back in Margaritaville. Here's my other complaint about this. I was by myself. It's late at night. It was after the show. I'm hungry, but not starving. Eating. Honestly, last night was more of a something to do. It was a move so I didn't have to go into bed right away. And we need alone menus. We need alone menus. We have kids menus. We have regular menus. How about alone menus? We are in 2025. It is. People are staying single longer. People want to go out for dinner. I just went to Pearley's in Richmond. Pearley's is one of my favorite Jewish cafes in the country. I sent my parents here. I sent my brother here. It is fantastic. I just got a full sandwich and laaki and. And a babka. It's too much. I should end on top of this big pizza night I had last night. I listen, I'm eating like. Like an animal. I'm not drinking, so I'm like. And I am like. I'm mad at myself right now because it was so goddamn good. But how about you take the decision away from me? I'm not gonna eat half the sandwich. I'm not gonna eat half the latkes. I'm not gonna eat half the babka. Just go. I should be able to go, I'll have this, this, and that alone. It alone. Size it for me. Like, yeah, you wanna. I'll pay more for a quarter more. You can make this an alone meal. Yes, thank you. I'll pay the tax. Make the tax go towards the tip. That's my ask. Make it so I'm tipping for what would have been the regular priced items. But make it an alone item. Alone. Alone size. And call it the alone menu. Let's not shy away. Why? Because it makes some woman go, aw, no one cares. Alone. People want an alone menu. We want to try everything on the menu. We are not sitting there crying, if only I had a girlfriend, I'd be able to order more food. No, we want to order everything. We want to try the menu, make the menu work for us. My last complaint, very different than these two complaints. And listen, would I eat a Jimmy V's again? Probably. Pearlies, one of the best Jewish cafes. I call it. It's not a deli, that's a Jewish cafe. Okay, my final complaint, I just did. So I'm opening for Jon Stewart and he did a big theater. It's, I'm assuming a big theater here. It's definitely a big theater here in Richmond. Earlier this week, I did the U up live. We did the Palladium theater in Times Square. That show was fantastic. For some reason, the directions that they give you for where to enter the room. Now you, if you come to my show, you go through the front. You go to the box office. Tickets, please. You go to that person. I get there earlier and I go through a side door. The directions I get for these side doors, it is almost a treasure map. It is literally. They send me a map, they send a picture, a satellite image of the street and they circle it for you and it's like, no, no, no, no. We don't live in those times anymore. We don't live in. It's on 45th street across from the Lion King. No, no, no, no, no. We don't live in yet. Take a right at the second light and then you're going to make a left at the Taco Bell. Those times are over. Give us an address that we can put into Google Maps and then I will find the dot on the screen. That's it. This happens with my parents. How do you get there? Oh, here's what you do. You go down the street. No, no, no. Give me the address. I don't need. Down the street, right at the lights, left at the church. No, no, no, no. I want the address. And that's all you need to give. And let me also say, if you don't know the address, give me the address next door to the place. Give me a beacon. Give me a lighthouse that I can go towards and have that Uber go directly towards that beacon to get me there. I don't need. Oh, it's on this street across from this hot dog vendor. It gets to the point where you're like, I can't believe. Are we all living in different times and different spaces? It makes no sense. So those are my complaints.

I'll read the second one after the first. Ticked off Tuesday in the description. That's where you find them. Okay, Ticked off Tuesday Baggage claim Blues Last night I flew from LAX to Newark and the whole saga was a mess, including de Planning in La and air and air traffic controllers, equipment failures. But I'll let that part let. I'll let the part tell the whole. What I'll let the part tell the hole. Is that. What is it? A curse from a witch? I'll let the part tell the. Let's, let's stay away from your poetry here on the jtrade podcast. Okay, I'm experimenting with checking my bag more. Well, you're also experimenting with language. Let me read that again. Last night I flew from LAX to Newark and the whole saga was a mess, including de planing in LA and air traffic controllers equipment failures. But I'll let the part tell the whole. Let the part tell the whole. Okay, that's W H O L e. Okay, I'm experimenting with checking my bag more because I don't like lugging it around the airport and thought baggage claim had become lazily over hated. And then they write wrong. I would actually agree with that sentiment. I. I'm with you. I've thought about this. I've actually done this before. I've checked my bag when I didn't need to check it and was just like, they do a good job. They actually, you know, scan it. It goes to your, your app. You can see it boarding the plane. You see it get, you know, scanned again. You're like, okay, it's here. Generally, there's not a lot of issues. I tend to find that the baggage issues come when you connect. But listen, I'm gonna trust you that you and so let me validate you experimenting with this because I agree with you. I do think that a lot of people just say they hate checking bags, but they're just like going with the flow of complaints. But you're saying that this is wrong. Okay, first, do the priority tags mean anything anymore? I have a pretty good United stat. I have pretty good United status. But I'd rather not have priority luggage marked marketed as a benefit if my suitcase is going to be last off the plane. Here's the problem with the. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. I can't speak to that. They put that priority tag on it. And I do think you're right. It is done to make you feel good. It is done as like a marketing to like keep doing the customer rewards program because you get that little dopamine hit. You see that priority bag slipknot on there? You're not, you know, most people aren't like you. You seem like you are really on it. They're not with a clicker at the, you know, at the Orlando Airport going, one bag, two bag, three bag. That's what it sounds like you're doing, which I appreciate. But they're basically banking off the idea that that priority sticker makes you feel warm and cozy and they don't have to really do it, which I would agree with. And honestly, good job by them playing up this whole thing and knowing how they can screw over a customer. That's a pretty. It's smart and diabolical if they're doing it that way. Either take away the priority tags and have us all be the same or make priority mean something. Also, everyone stands way too close to the carousel, so no one can rotate in and get their bags when it's their turn. I propose a bag retriever zone and a spectator zone. Fine to be a spectator, but why crowd the zone? The whole thing was so uncivilized. Where do you land? I'm with you. With. Here's the thing. Everyone thinks at the airport that they are doing it right and everyone else is doing it wrong. I agree with you. The. The airlines and the airports aren't helping us. I think your zone idea is a fine idea. I think that helps us a lot. Make it so. There's one line you have to stand by. And if you. At least if the line was there, spectator zone and grab zone, at least if it was there, there would be some order and you could know who's you. You could know who to point the finger at. Because a lot of this lives in the vague. And that's the issue. A lot of people are like, well, I am far away. I'm not getting my bag. I'm not one of those people. There does need to be new two zones. I think the major issue, to me, on top of everything you're saying. I'm not saying anything you're saying is wrong. One, they're giving that priority tag, and there's no connection between the person putting it on and the person doing the bags. And, you know, the, the. The beginning person doesn't match to the end person. We need everyone to take the priority tag more seriously if we're going to use it. I do think I would not give it up at all. I do need to have that tag in my bag to let everyone know I'm better than them. But I do understand there needs to. To just have a tag with no rules being held to is ridiculous. I do think that your zone idea is a good idea. You just have. And all it is is a piece of tape. This isn't an expensive thing. All I need is. I mean, when they did the. When the. When. When the social distancing was happening. Within five minutes there was tape on the ground and you on this dot and you on that dot. Why don't we have that at the airport at a place where we would use it forever and ever? Here's what we need. I don't want, I want, I don't want airline customer badges. Right now. You have frequent flyer miles, but it's based on airline. I want frequent flyer badges given out by the government. I want people to know who is flying over 10 times a month and then everyone else. Because that gives you, honestly, that gives you credibility. The problem at the airport is everyone thinks they're doing it right. And no one sits there and goes, I only do this once every two months. I don't know anything. Like, everyone thinks they know everyone thinks they're doing it right. Wouldn't it be great if you checked your bag and you got down to the baggage carousel and you went up to go get your bag and someone was in your way and you go, hey, hey, get out of the way. Till your bag comes and they're like, who do you think you are? And then you just point to a sheriff's badge that says frequent flyer, that shows you fly over 10 times a month and you go, this is who I think I am. I'm a top flyer, okay? And you're gonna listen to me because you don't do this as much as me. You think you know, but you don't. See, this, this is, this is called having tenure. This is called knowing what you're talking about. I do this every day. Fall back. Fall back. I said fall back. Now you get to be the lead captain. You get to say, fall back. Sheriff's in town. There's a new sheriff in town that you can say stuff like that. J train podcast gmail.com jtrain podcastmail.com I got two more ticked off Tuesdays for you. That was great. One, one more ad. Hero bread. Listen, I'm going to say this to you right now. Hero bread's delicious. It's awesome. It tastes as good as. I'm not going to say it's better. Bread is bread. It's as good as any regular bread. But hero bread has more to.

All that money the Patreon goes into the show, goes into production. Paying V to produce this show, that's what it's all about. So I got two more to go. Jared. My luxury lounge complaint is when you go to a coffee shop and you get an iced coffee and then you go get a straw and there isn't immediately a trash can in the vicinity to throw away the wrapper of the straw and then you end up keeping it in your hand because you don't want to be an asshole that litters. So then it ends up in your pocket and next thing you know, my purse is a graveyard for all the straw wrappers. I completely agree. This is one of my bigger complaints. Always there needs to be a trash within arm's reach of any sugar straw mixer station. I get so annoyed when there are no trash cans. It like really bothers me. Hotel rooms. Sometimes you're in a hotel and you're like, what was the plan with the trash? Was the Plan for me to throw it on the floor was the plan. And a coffee shop, especially because you go to that one spot with the straws and the sugars and the stirs and the milks and you know a trash is going to be needed at some point. So why do this to us? Why not it? Honestly, if you're building your sugar station without a trash in mind, you have not built a sugar station. You have done 90% of the job. All you have to do. And it makes you. It's so weird that some of these sugar stations don't have. I call it a sugar station, sugar, milk station, whatever that station is. It is so weird that enough of them don't have the trash nearby that when it does have the hole that you can, like, throw everything into, you're almost relieved. You're almost like, oh, my God, the invention of the century. The hole that has the trash in it. I can't believe how much I love that hole. I can't believe how much it makes me feel good. And it just shows you that, like, and it makes me angry. It makes me feel so good to see that hole with the trash. Because I know the only reason I feel good about it is because it's not there. Sometimes that there's a piece of me that goes, oh, there might not be a trash here. I might have to carry around this straw all day. Totally agree with you. This. This is one of those that, like, I can feel in my bones. Last complaint, Jared, Big fan of the pods. You do my ticked off Tuesday. Happened on a Tuesday. Look at this. I moved into my house one month ago knowing it needed basement repairs, the walls needed beams for structural support. That's not a repair, that's a full on, like, you got to build a house here. My boyfriend and I got three different quotes and went with the middle quote based on vibes of the company and the fact that the price matched the lowest quote. Well, hold on. My boyfriend and I got three different quotes and went with the middle quote based on vibes of the company and the fact they price matched the lowest quote. Thousand dollar difference. What a great way to go. Hey, we liked you, but we just got a quote for the same thing for less. We'll match it now, everyone. Honestly, I love the whole negotiation and it probably tells you you could have gotten it for even less than the three, but you don't even. At that point, you don't even want to play pay less. You're just happy you got the deal from the company that you liked. All Good total. This cost $9,000. It was a large factor in us even buying the home. Had to take money out of the down payment. Etc. Okay, so this is a big deal. Well, the construction began one month after move in and the only const. Let me read this correctly. When the. Well, the cons. Well, the construction began one month after moving and the only instruction was to push all things in the basement towards the center to give them five feet to walk around by the walls. Okay. Move everything in the center. We want to be able to move around. Okay. They had to grind off the paint to reach the cinder blocks to connect the beams directly to the walls. I don't know what that means, but. Okay. Because of the faulty. Because of faulty equipment and the fact that they didn't put up a sheet at the top of the basement stairs, all of the dust and paint particles got everywhere in my home. Everything became covered in thick layer of white dust. This includes open shelving in my kitchen, all the way to my bedspread in the top floor. This is quite literally a mess. A simple sheet at the top. A simple sheet at the top of the basement stairs or properly working equipment would have made this problem non existent. Listen, properly working equipment, that's not even worth talking about. Just put up a sheet. That's all you have to do. Your equipment. But honestly they probably saying that they don't want to be like caught in a dust, you know, a dust storm. So they want to be able to breathe. So they probably did that because of that. So you go now I go back to the faulty equipment and you go, hey, your equipment's no good. You're doing this to yourself and your customers. Not to mention the basement stuff got the worst of it. Now I am having two professional cleaners, one for the few for the furniture upholstery and one for the rest come to clean my house in addition to the loads of laundry and cleaning I have already done for this. The only bright side is the company is paying for the cleaning services. Okay, that's not. Ah, I'm not. I know it's a ticked off Tuesday and you didn't come here to like have anyone disagree with you. They are paying. It is a pain in the ass that this even has to be done in the first place. You have to have the right equipment. If you're gonna get the job, you have to do it right. I. The fact that this happens. Yes. Is a pain. The fact that you had to go to them. Hey, what's the deal? You're getting you're getting this white powder everywhere. What are you guys doing down there? Okay, okay, we'll pay for it. It's almost like the quicker they pay for it, the more enraging it is. You're like, oh, so this was built into your whole cost structure. And if they do make a change, that'll only be for the next customer. You did the biggest favor anyone could do for the next person that needs this done. And that's annoying. You don't want to be the one that they're learning about their equipment with. You want to be the one where they've just learned, oh, thank God. Yo. Hey. The last people we had, we had to pay for the cleaning service because we had the wrong equipment. Good thing you're next. No, not you. You're part of their whole, you know, their. Their whole brainstorming session. However, this should not have happened and was totally avoidable. A crusty, rusty, dusty betch. Yeah.
