Jared Freed
Hello and welcome to the J Train Podcast. This is J Train Jared Freed coming to you live from Delray, Florida. I guess I should say Delray Beach. That sounds better as I'm working this out in real time from Del Rey Beach, Florida. That sounds fun. I'm sure we'll find a cadence for the Delray Beach. Sign on for the J Train podcast. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm tinkering with some ideas here for J Train and I hope you guys will join me for the ride. It's a ticked off Tuesday, but I, I, I, I was in the ocean today. I feel reinvigorated. The, the, the, the, the rays of Del Rey have hit hit me in the soul and I'm, I'm really starting to enjoy the move. I, I'll give a tease. Tomorrow's chit chat Wednesday is going to be with the organizer to the stars, Summer Rose. She's here right now unpacking me. Hi Summer. See, you can hear her in the background. She's unpacking the star me of the J Train podcast. But very exciting times. I'm in Delray Beach. It's a ticked off Tuesday. If you're new here, every Tuesday on the J Train podcast we complain. That's what we do. You email me with your complaint and my job is to see you, to hear you, to find a way to agree with you and commiserate. That's the whole gig here. Now I'm looking at our complaints. I never look at them before. I have 1, 2, 3, 4. All from Patreon subscribers. So Patreon subscribers get first dibs. Now what do you get with a membership? That's, that's the kind of the thing with Patreon. I, I love that you guys listen to this show. I would love for you to sign up for Patreon because it's a way to support the show. It's five bucks a month that goes directly back into production and making sure V our producer gets paid and all that good stuff. Yes, I have sponsors, but sponsors go so far. I mean, we have one sponsor today, you know, Know. So that sponsor will be red. And if you can, sometimes the sponsor doesn't even work for you. I'm sure there are people listening who have never used a promo code in their life, and that's okay. That is the game we play here. So maybe you say, you know what? I'll sign up for the Patreon, and you're not getting nothing. You're getting coffee with J Train, where, if you're listening right now, last week's episode will be all about moving to Delray and the feelings, the thoughts, the. The ups and downs of a move from the biggest city in the world, New York City, to a city that I just found out is 64,000 people. I moved to Happy Valley. I went to Penn State. This is Penn State's 40,000 students, plus people who live there. So it's probably. I mean, it's got to be more than 64,000. Whatever. It's. We're in range. We're. Delray beach is closer to Happy Valley, Pennsylvania, to State College, Pennsylvania, than it is to New York City. I would. I would say the people here are closer to New York City than they are to stay Cal. Again, we could go round and round and up and down. You get it. So this is all to say that if you sign up for Patreon, you get coffee with J Train, which is basically my diary. And you also get first dibs on ticked off Tuesday. And first dibs means you get first crack at the complaints. And there's. And they're using it. That's the thing. If they weren't using it, I wouldn't give the spiel because. Well, I'd give it in a different way. The spiel would be different. The spiel would be about, hey, guys, if you want to sign up for the Patreon. Or I'd probably find a new way to sell the Patreon because it's working. The sales routine is working. So I'm asking you if you want to be heard and complain, which is a form of mental health. I'm not going to say therapy. I don't want to. I don't want to get, you know, accused of oversell. I would say mental health. It feels good to complain. Scratch the scab. Maybe you shouldn't. Maybe you shouldn't send it to me. Maybe you shouldn't scratch the itch. Maybe you should let it heal. Or you send it to me like you would scratch A scab? I don't know. It's a metaphor. We're trying. It's off the cuff. I have my complaints. I have two complaints. Very move. Specific, but they are specific. We love a specific complaint. If you're listening right now, I'm going to be in Huntsville, Alabama. That's right, Huntsville, Alabama. Uh, this month we are traveling. We're on the road. I want you to come to a show. I want you to assemble the group chat. Get your friends, your brothers, your sisters, your mamas, your papas, anyone who likes a laugh. And honestly, let's go back to mental health. Good reason to go get a laugh. And I'm coming with a whole bag of jokes. The wizard of ha is coming to town to cast his funny spells. Huntsville, Alabama. Manchester, Connecticut, which could also be called Hartford, Connecticut. London, England. Stanford, Connecticut, which could also be called Stanford, Connecticut. No, no other name there. Bloomington, Indiana. Brea, California. Spokane, Washington. Colorado. Denver, Colorado. San Francisco, Denver and San Francisco already selling. So get involved. East Providence, Rhode Island. Kansas City, Mo. Richmond, Virginia. Jared Free dot com. There are more dates coming. It's going to be a theater tour in the fall and we're gearing up. These dates, I would call them, not work out. I have an hour ready. The hour is morphing. I'm trying to get it ready for a theater. And when you do a comedy club, it's a little bit more loose. There's, you know, crowd work can happen. That's not my goal. You can see on my videos. I'm putting up crowd work videos. Yeah, we're in plug city right now. You might be saying, jared, that's a lot of plugging you're doing up front. We got complaints. Don't worry, we'll get to the show. I'm putting up YouTube videos every Saturday. It pains me when these YouTube videos get unwatched because I'm not to make it about the money, but that's kind of what makes the world go around. I'm paying money to make these videos every Saturday. Go subscribe to the YouTube. Go watch them. They're there to make you laugh. I'm trying to get this YouTube going. For 15 fucking years. It hasn't worked once. I don't know. I got. I'm oh for a billion going viral on YouTube. I've never even touch that planet. So whatever. Listen, we keep trying. What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again. I feel like I've done different things. Now I'm. Now I'm the. You know I'm Ben Stiller's character in Heavyweights. Jared, don't get mad. Come on, Jared. Come on, Jer Bear. Jer Bear, don't get down. It's them. It's them. It's. Yeah, that's. Oh, man. Ben Stiller. This guy has played three different characters in every movie he's ever done, and he just rotates the three, and the guy's killing it. I mean, I could go on and on. I'm a Ben Stiller fan. I just saw the trailer for Happy Gilmore 2, and it hits all the buttons. I. I mean, I'm gonna watch, of course. Okay, we're here at ticked off Tuesday. I've done the announcements. We have four ticked off Tuesdays. We have one ad. I'll do two. Two ticked off Tuesdays, and then an ad. Before I get into any of those, I got to go to my complaints. I have screenshots. My first complaint is that I had to call Verizon to cancel my cable, which thanks to Summer Rose, who coached me through that process. And it's why you should all get involved with what she does. If I were to, like, brand Summer Rose and what she's doing for me, it's like I rented a. A manager for my move. She's doing it all. She's packing, she's unpacking. She's helping me with the Verizon. She just. Everything on the checklist that you would have gone, what. What should I do? So go follow Summer Rose. You're going to hear from her on tomorrow's chit chat Wednesday. But she was like, you got to call Verizon and get the cancellation code, and I'll bring back the equipment. Like, I mean, Jared, do you have. How could you ever have any complaints ever? I do. I have complaints. But that is, like, the most unbelievable service she's offering. So not to go on and on. She's in the other room. So I'm. I'm blowing smoke up her ass. But I would have said this if she was here or not. Anyways, okay, so she goes call. So I call Verizon. My issue isn't with the return. My issue isn't with the person who I spoke with who was actually wonderful. My issue is with all of these places, you call into Verizon Delta, they start with the automated service asking you to do something that you don't want to do right away. Delta does this. Hey, if you want us to text you and do this whole thing over text, you can press 1 for iOS and 2 for green text. And it's like, no, no, I'm here with a reason I called. Let's do that stuff at the end. If maybe I could text you next time. Maybe I couldn't. That's not what we're doing here. Let's with, if you want someone, just say, I want a person. And I know they know that you never go for the automated service. They, they know you would never opt for non human, so they're doing it for you. They're saying, we're not even going to give you the opportunity. Verizon. You call into Verizon and I put in my, my. They go, is this your phone number that you just called from? Is this what your account is under? I go, yeah. And then it goes, well, do you want to set up voice, what did they call it? They were asking if you want to set up voice identification. So instead of passwords, instead of, instead of your phone number, you can just say your name and that'll get you right to your account information. That would be great and nice if I was still going to have an account with them. I'm calling to cancel the account. And they're like, hey, if you want us to recognize your voice so that we know your whole account information, you can say your name 60 times and then we'll know who you are right away. Which is scary. Anyways, that, the idea that I could say Jared and they'd go, oh, Jared Freed. He lives at this address. Here's a Social Security number. Oh, here's his blood type. Oh, here's how he likes a little scratch in the head at night before he goes to bed. I don't need them knowing that from just my voice. It's scary that we're heading that direction, but here we are. But let's do me talking with the great, wonderful service rep who I will say, I don't remember. I wish I had a name. She was wonderful. And at the end of that call, she can say, maybe she can pitch me to three different directions. One might be, hey, can you rate me and give me a review? Two could be, hey, this voice notification thing can get you through this whole thing quicker. Do you want to set it up now? Let's do this at the end. That's my first complaint. I only have two. This is the one with screenshots. Okay, so I moved out. I've been in the same apartment building for four years. I moved there in 2021. It is 2025. And the people that I, I, I basically was renting from the Great wizard of Oz. It's just a voice behind a curtain. I emailed with them. I've never met with them. I've. When I extended my lease because I wasn't sure what I was going to do. This is the last year. They've always been easy to deal with, but it's just been an email and a Mr. So and so. So it's like you're emailing the bank teller on, on, on let's Make a Deal. What's that show called? The, the Howie Mendel where he fist bumps everyone because he can't deal with a sneeze. That show. What is it called? I Feel like an idiot. The banker TV show. Howie, if this doesn't come up. It was called Deal or no Deal. Okay, I'm an idiot. Yeah, that's what it felt like. For four years, I was dealing with the banker, like, never saw their face. Faceless, nameless. Just. And literally. Their, their email was like, Mr. Blank. So I get a text and it's like, basically, so Mr. Blank has hired or works with a realtor. My apartment should fly off the shelf. My apartment will go as quick as I say I'm not moving back next month. Which they know, and I'm sure that's why they've been so. I mean, I don't know if they're being kind to me. I, I, I, I felt very like they were very nice to let me extend my lease. I'm not sure how much I'm like, under the thumb of a, of, of the real. Like, I don't know how much the real estate people in New York have taken advantage of me. Where I'm even thankful for them taking advantage of me less. I don't even know I'm paying enough where they should say, oh, whatever you need, sir. But they don't. They go, ah, we'll let you spend 4,000amonth for another month. Ah, we'll raise it only $250, even though we raised it $800 after the COVID special we gave you. Ah, if you. I guess we'll do it. And I'm sitting there like, thank you, thank you. I can spend another thousand dollars. Thank you. You know, this is my. So I don't know how much I'm under the cause. This is my bait. This is. If you go listen to Coffee with J Train. The big reveal of this move is like, how I operate as a New Yorker for 18 years, and I've never even considered myself a New Yorker for these 18 years. I was Always. I'm from Boston. I live in New York. I never felt like I was in a town. But then I get here and I'm like, am I reacting this way because I have like New York goggles on or am I reacting this way because this is weird? I've had that kind of experience in the last weekend of just being here. So this is all to say they have a realtor that's like going to show the apartment so that person gets in touch with me. Hi, I hope you're doing well. My name is Blank. I'm with blank property group. Mr. Blank and Blank again. The nameless, faceless wizard of Oz shared your contact info with me regarding the apartment. He asked me to assist in finding a new tenant. So we'll, so we'll need to begin showing the apartment soon. Would tomorrow afternoon be a convenient time to schedule tours? Best regards from the realtor. I think that's totally normal. I get this guy wants to schedule tours. He's trying to get people in the apartment. I'm going to be easy with them. There's no reason for me to be a dick for there's no reason. And how do you be easy with them? Here's a window of time you can schedule tours. I figure that is a nice thing to do. I don't have to do it, but I'm not living in a world where I don't have to do it. But look how great a guy I am. I'm just doing the human thing. I wrote, no problem. I'll be gone from 11 to 3:30. 11 to 3:30. That's a, that's quite a. Quite a window I've given them and I would say prime time for showing an apartment. They write back, thank you. Now they write back the next day. Hi, the prospect wasn't available today. Would tomorrow afternoon work for you? Instead I wrote, yes. What time? How's 4:30? I have a call at 4. I just have to be there from 4 to 5. They wrote back, 3pm I said, that works. They wrote back, thank you. Here we go. I'm, I listen, I don't have to get back to this guy. I don't have to help them, but we're doing. I, I feel good that this person is going to be able to show the apartment and, and I haven't gotten in their way. I hope they're appreciative. Okay, so now they write back on this is the next day. It's 2:49pm on my way. I don't know why they're telling me they're on their way. I told you, I'll be out from three to four. I have a four o' clock call. That's it. I don't need to know anything else. You are dealing with the owner of the apartment. They know how to get you the key. This is if you, if you're the person you say you are, you can get the key. You can get in there at three, you can be out by four. I'll be back on my way. I mean, they're talking to me as if I'm. This is my day. Rain slowing down the roads here. So I'm about 20 minutes behind. So sorry, not my problem. I. I don't know if they thought I'd be there. I don't know if they thought I'd open the door for them. If you are home, can I send up the first? Then they write back. This is where it gets crazy. If you're home, can I send up the first prospect and you can show them around so they don't have to wait. No pressure. They can wait for me. I'm not splitting the commish with you. What do you mean wait? If send them up, what I'm going to show them. What's your job? I don't know what's going on? I don't know the fire escapes. I don't know the. You know, to answer questions about the apartment. Can I use the roof? I don't know. I've never used the roof. Who are you? I live here. I don't know. I'm showing you the apartment. This is where I take a shit. This is where I sleep sometimes. I fucked like, whatever. That's the sink. It's next to where I sleep and fuck. It's a studio apartment. I understand there's not a lot to show or explain, but at the same time, like, this isn't my job. Like this is too close for comfort. I don't want to see the person living in my place the next, the next person coming in. I don't want them looking at the toilet going, yeah, we're going to have to clean this bathroom. Like, I don't want that in my life. I wrote, I'm sorry I'm not at the apartment currently. No worries. I can still go. Go up, right? Also, your first name is blank. Just figured from your answering machine. Okay, now we're getting personal. Is he hiring me? I said yes and yes. Hey, Jared. Thank. Thank you. I'll be in and out. Uh, they have a key at the front still bumper to bumper here by the Holland Tunnel. Be there in 10. I don't care. I don't know. I don't, I don't need you. You should be saying that to your people that you're showing the apartment to. And by the way, those people will wait all day for that apartment because it's going to go in two seconds. Now, the next day. Good morning, Jared. Can we come in today at 4? I'll be in there for a meeting. I'll be out of the apartment starting tomorrow if you need it. Got it. Would 3:30 work today? If not, I can show tomorrow. I need to be there for a meeting at that time. Meeting is like a zoom meeting. You might be like, jared, what meetings are you holding in your studio? I'm at a. I'm on a zoom. I don't know how else I should have said zoom. Confirming. I can still go in today. I have someone at 4pm I'm out of the place. Doors unlocked. Thank you. Okay, so I guess the full complaint is like, I don't know why I'm being included in this whole thing. The minute to minute, the, hey, can you show them the apartment? I know I don't work for you. We're not splitting this. This isn't getting me paid. How would they deal with someone who has like a normal 9 to 5? Normal 9 to 5. They wouldn't be like, okay, I'm coming up soon. Oh, okay. Do you mind showing it? What do you mean? J Train podcast@gmail.com. j Train podcast at gmail dot com. I said I was going to do the ad in between the four. Let's just knock it out. I do love this sponsor factor. What I love about factor. It's a food company. They're doing healthy food, they're doing meals. You can cook them in two minutes. And here's the thing, if you're trying to stay healthy, you have two problems, portion control and creativity. You buy too much for one person or two people. You're not creative enough to stay healthy. That's. I'm just telling you right to your face you're not creative enough. You go grilled chicken, you go grilled chicken, you go grilled salmon, you go baked salmon, baked chicken, baked vegetables. You go white rice, you go salad. That's all you got. That's all you got in your quiver. I'm going to give you an. I'm going to keep your quiver full forever with different meals that will keep you. And if the longer you stay creative, the longer you Stay healthy. That's where Factor comes in. Why spend time cooking when you'd rather be outside? Factor makes you get awesome meals without spending all your time in the kitchen. I don't think people care about spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I think people care about how much time it takes to feel satiated. Because the minute you're starving, that's when you make bad food decisions. And Factor is going to make sure we can get some good, delicious meals in you as fast as possible. Factor's meals arrive fresh and ready to eat. Just pop in the microwave or on a skillet for two minutes and you're all set. I have a now I have a microwave in my apartment. I haven't had a microwave in four years. With more than 45 weekly menu options. There's a creativity. There's a meal for whatever mood you're in. They even have breakfast, lunch, snacks and desserts. They have breakfast, lunches, snacks and desserts. It's hard to pluralize those things. Okay, I've given a personal endorsement. They're delicious. I've had them. They're. They are delicious. The portions are right. You're gonna be satiated, you're not gonna be full. Cuz that's what happens when you try to eat healthy on your own. You make too much.

I got four ticked off Tuesdays from you. The listener ticked off Tuesday when my boy also they're from Patreon subscribers. So if you want first dibs patreon.com Jared Freed ticked off Tuesday when my boyfriend and I are on a plane and I say something quickly, he takes out the airpod furthest from me. Like why not the one next to me? He swears he can hear me but then responds super loud because he actually can't hear. Lol. I am with you. This is crazy. If you can't hear someone on your right, you take out the right pod and you lean your ear into them. That's the move that is to me, that is sign language for what the fuck you say. If you were like, this wouldn't be sign language. You wouldn't take out the opposite ear. Go in with the air potted ear. It's actually rude to me. You. You point an ear with an airpod in it at someone, that's rude. If you give me a potted ear, I'm insulted. If you face a pod at me, that's in an ear, we're not cool. That's fists up. That's you saying, I don't give a shit about what you're about to say back to me. I care this little about hearing what you have to say. Especially on an airplane where it's loud in there. You need as much ear canal as you can get to hear the person next to you. And what if you're asking for something important? What if this is an emergency? That's his reaction. He goes to opposite earpod in. That's a bad reaction. He could be putting you in danger. Should there be an issue with the plane, I wouldn't trust him with my life in that situation. I wouldn't trust him to be listening to what I'm going to say next. It's a real problem. J Train podcast gmail.com J Train podcast@gmail.com. you can send them in or sign up for Patreon. We do love screenshots. I mean, I showed you with the screenshots from my realtor. It does add a dimension that we enjoy. J Train podcast on Instagram is a great place to DM In a public restroom, it should be very obvious if a stall is occupied or not. I could not agree more. This is one of those things. And I had this at the airport a few days ago where the door popped open and I thought it was someone leaving the bathroom, but it just popped open by, you know, sheer gravity. So I waited there for like five seconds looking at the door. Should I touch it? Should I push it? Finally, I pushed it. There was no one in there. It was a ghost. So I just spent like five minutes of my day waiting on this bathroom that was totally empty. This is the beauty of Delta at the Sky Club. And I do think a lot of bare airport. Some airports have this. They have a light above it. There's a green and red light above the toilets that are open or. Or being used. And I love it. So either the doors should be. Should okay. In a public restroom, it should be very obvious if a stall is occupied or not. So either the doors should be. Should Default into an open position when the stall is not in use, or there should be a clear green or unoccupied marker on the handle or whatever. I'm with you. I love when the lock locks and it's. When it unlocks, it says vacant. I like. And it's green. Vacant. I wanted. The bathroom should be completely clear. There should be no confusion. I'm not sure what's worse, having to try and surreptitious. Okay. I'm not sure what's worse. Let's see if I can get this word. Having to try and surreptitiously. Surreptitiously. Surreptitiously. Surreptitiously. That's. That's a word. The more you say it, the weirder it sounds. Look under each stall. Or having to actually try to open each door until you find one that's available. This should be a law. I'm with you. I don't even like going up to a door and pushing on it because I push and I look away. I'm trying to give the person privacy. And then there's people that full on. They're like in that crease. They're just looking. And it's like, what's to see here? Do you need to know what shirt I'm wearing to be able to know this bathroom's occupied or not? I'm with you. It should be standardized. These should be bathrooms with really, it's. It's like you have laws for, like how an elevator should be built. You have laws for, like how doors should be built. You know, these are common laws for building. It seems as though the bathrooms were just the wild west without any law at all. Give me a bathroom where I clearly says from far away, I should be able to see it again. Like that delta bathroom. The green or red light above. Let me not walk up to it under the, you know, like you said, looking at the feet. Let's do another Jared. I love when they're written in live. My ticked off Tuesday is from two seconds ago. I'm at the Palm Beach, Florida airport, 6am One of my favorite airports. It is a it. I would say it's a 2% reason I moved to this area. Palm Beach Airport. Great airport. Small, comfy, cozy, great parking. I'm at the Palm Beach Airport, 6am and in line to order a breakfast sandwich. There's a line. The woman right behind me asked the employee if they have everything. Bagels. They are in a basket right in front of us. Then she proceeds to order her bagel Scooped out with cream cheese. You're at the airport, bitch. Forget the scooped out. And also, you're not at, like, Jewish bagel deli where they know what that means. Oh, they. There isn't a woman behind the counter who's been there a thousand years, scoped you. All you have to say is scooped and they know everything. You're at the airport. This high school kid doesn't know what scooped out means. The employee asked her to clarify. Of course they did. The woman says, can you take out the filling of my bagel and then add the cream cheese? Do it yourself. You got to fill time at the airport anyways. This is crazy. I agree with this person. 6:00am There is a line behind us. This is a small airport. You're not up in the lounge. No, no, no. In the lounge. They'd have to do it themselves. Also, the actual. This person writes the actual. Fuck. No. This is crazy behavior. This is. Here's the thing. When you live in a certain part of the country, you live in New York, you know you're getting a New York experience. When you're in Florida, southeast Florida, you go to a bagel place they know scooped out. Can you just have a little awareness of your surroundings to know that everywhere isn't your living room, everywhere isn't your corner bodega, everywhere isn't your deli. You're at a Starbucks in the airport. This person does not know scooped. And there's 600 people behind you that just want a coffee because they're going through the misery of travel. Get out of the way. You got to have some awareness. I'm with you. This is a crazy request. It gives Jews a bad name. This is one of those that I go, I know this person. I know who's asking for it. I can see what they look like. I can. I'm looking at the person I know. I. If you sent a picture, I wouldn't need the picture. I'll have an everything bagel, scooped, low fat, cream cheese. Just a little. You know, it's an annoying order that you should only do in spaces where you can be annoying. This is not one of those spaces. You're embarrassing the culture is my opinion. Last one. It's a little bit longer. Last week, I went on a trip to Santa Barbara and booked a hotel right on the beach. Good for you. It was not the Ritz, but certainly a very nice place. You know, on the beach. When you're on the beach, it's tough to really complain. But you will. I'll complain with You. They advertise a nightly wine happy hour as one of the amenities. Love it. We thought that was great since Santa Barbara is well known for as. We thought that was great since Santa Barbara is a well known wine region and many people travel there just to go wine tasting, us included. I love how happy and simple this is starting, but I'm like, to me, the clouds are closing. It's getting dark in here. The minute she said or they said, I'm not sure what their gender is, but the minute they said, we thought that was great since Santa Barbara's well known wine region, it's like, oh, the free wine at your. At your hotel on the beach. Oh, I guess we just figured they would have the Santa Barbara wine region. Okay, I see where this is going. I envision the happy hour including some nice local wines. You would think, you would think. They got the grapes right outside the door, bring them in, smash them, put them in the glass. Instead, there were two glass carafes sitting out marked Chardonnay and cabernet. This is like the scene in Vegas vacation. You want the red or the white? My friend and I agreed that it tasted awful. Like something that came out of an old juice box and was undrinkable. I love the word undrinkable. This is a great complaining word. That. That'd be a fun ticked off Tuesday running tab to keep fun complaining words. The wine is undrinkable. Like that's fun to say to a manager. We were surprised and wanted to get out of the bot. Get. We were surprised and wanted to get to the bottom of it. So my friend asked the front desk guy what was the name of the unique wine they were serving. Oh, look at these two. These two. What are they called? The. You. We got the. We got Dick Tracy's on the wine case. Couple of gum shoes. He said, I don't know, it came from a box. Let me check. It was this boxed wine that you can buy at CVS for $11 a box, which is like six bottles. Given the clientele and the vibes of the place, in my opinion, they should just skip the wine happy hour rather than serving that schlock. Schlock is also a great complaining word. Yeah, I agree. This is the thing. You do the wine, you better off not do it than do it at all. That if you're going to do it badly, don't do it at all. I'm with you. That's a great way to put it because and again, it's Santa Barbara. You can't just Put out wine. This is. This is the spot. This is the American area for wine. It doesn't cost that much. I would think you would think that the closer you get. And I think this is the problem to me, if you want to make it societal, this is the problem with, like, mass production. Like, there is no appreciation of the local flair. That's why we have farmer's markets and that's why Farm to Table was created, because it felt like we were getting away from, like, this idea that the wine comes from down the street. It should be a bunch of great bottles of wine that are really cheap just because you're in the area and that's not what you got. And. And there is a romanticism to what you're asking for. And I agree with it. The. And honestly, it makes you just see what the world is. You were on vacation. You're at a beach hotel in Santa Barbara. Keep tricking me. Keep letting me lie to myself. Let me lie to myself that we're in this cool space that's removed from CVS and Walgreens and Walmart and box wine. The wine comes in one of those jugs like it's in Italy. And they. Oh, it was put in there from the, like, from the family who smashes it with their feet down the street. This is you coming to terms with the reality that we live in a garbage society that really has not really been helped by the. As much as it's helped us in other ways. I'm not going to say I'm not a. I'm a part of this. The mass consumption, the. The mass. The ability to move product across them. To get a strawberry, no matter where you are in this country, is good and kind of bad. You have to admit, in times like these, you're like. And maybe I'm looking too deeply into this, but that's what ticked off Tuesday is for. You should have a nice bottle of wine that they literally can look at you from the desk and go, yeah, we actually. The happy hour wine is given to us by an older couple that's had a vineyard for the last 50 years. And yeah, they smash the. The wine with their feet. And no, their feet are beautiful. They actually do some feet modeling on the side and we. We work with them to help them photograph because they've gotten too old to really get those good shots, you know, you want. Just let me live in that story. Ticked off Tuesday, back next week, boom.
