Show notes

Mike is back on dry land... and he is a lychee NUT!. We have a new teenager in our midst (yay!) and sometimes, musical theatre is better than soccer. Deal with it. Robb hits KD twice... and is well on his way to being a spokesman. Josh takes in some cinema... and we have some great sauce for you (it'll be OK).

[SPEAKER_04]: See you later, World Cup.

[SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: Does it come back in a few years?

[SPEAKER_04]: Can you wait?

[SPEAKER_03]: Wow.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I'll get to it in a second.

[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's a big story.

[SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was supposed to be my side asking people to leave.

[SPEAKER_03]: I just wait for a lot to say on it.

[SPEAKER_03]: I could go right from the beginning.

[SPEAKER_03]: But let's a little decorum.

[SPEAKER_03]: Lord knows I like decorum after hopping off one of those vessels that we here in Florida get to drive to and hop on and go accrues in for three nights with my son for a long time Thursday.

[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of times those cruises have like themes.

[SPEAKER_04]: Was this good manners?

[SPEAKER_04]: Was that the theme of this cruise?

[SPEAKER_03]: No, this was different than when we were on the other one.

[SPEAKER_03]: And when we were on the other one that we went on for the show, I hadn't been on a ship like that in a very, very long time, like a crazy, long amount of time.

[SPEAKER_03]: And now within a year, I'm doing it again.

[SPEAKER_03]: And we hopped on the, what was it called, the celebrity reflection.

[SPEAKER_03]: which left from Fort Lauder, Fort Lauder, Dale Florida, Cruz down to Key West, and then up to Nassau in the Bahamas.

[SPEAKER_03]: And I need a sound effect for the Bahamas.

[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, here it is.

[SPEAKER_02]: Eight.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's all that.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's all kids.

[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, that not on this crew lines because this is not a kid's crew's line, which was made clear to me right from the beginning.

[SPEAKER_03]: They needed the kids need a few more bells and whistles.

[SPEAKER_03]: Didn't have that, but I've also got an involved enough sun where he can handle that.

[SPEAKER_03]: And so they had a sports court on there and that was enough for them.

[SPEAKER_03]: It was certainly enough for them to be gone.

[SPEAKER_03]: most of the time, while Mrs. Omar and I, uh, you know, headed over to the martini bar.

[SPEAKER_04]: Now, what's happening in broad strokes?

[SPEAKER_04]: Would you say that the celebrity cruise line would you call it a good outfit?

[SPEAKER_04]: Would you say that the celebrity cruise line would you call it a good outfit? [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because one of the things that, you know, the the biggest thing I think for anybody on a cruise ship is you're going on there to eat. [SPEAKER_03]: You're going on a line [SPEAKER_02]: uh... we looked at out media worker uh... well it's a european country and we assume that's why the medicarian something mediocre supper club i think there you go there you found the food out and the food was really [SPEAKER_03]: really good. [SPEAKER_03]: And that was fun. [SPEAKER_03]: That was fun for us ship council. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, what is it? [SPEAKER_03]: The marine stewardship council. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: See, that's a dry outfit. [SPEAKER_03]: Right. [SPEAKER_03]: That is a set. [SPEAKER_03]: No good. [SPEAKER_03]: Is that the second time of the show? [SPEAKER_03]: We've said out. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_03]: But you said it. [SPEAKER_04]: I said it. [SPEAKER_04]: I run a couple. [SPEAKER_03]: That is, uh, that's quite a that's a questionable outfit. [SPEAKER_04]: Here's Andy Parks to talk about this outfit. [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, not quite sure with that out there. [SPEAKER_04]: Did they have the same quantity of food as the MS? [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, sure. [SPEAKER_03]: They all have the same quote and quote and quote. [SPEAKER_03]: And stop, but what is the coolest thing? [SPEAKER_03]: This is the best thing. [SPEAKER_03]: And Josh knows what I'm talking about. [SPEAKER_03]: Is that you get in your car, you drive an hour and a half. [SPEAKER_03]: You drive to the boat, you get on the boat, you go on the boat, you come back, you get in your car and you drive home. [SPEAKER_03]: I love this. [SPEAKER_03]: That's amazing. [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I used to drive an hour and I have just to go to DC. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, right. [SPEAKER_04]: And there was no boat there. [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, by the way, Rob, Rob has a go ahead, Josh. [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry. [SPEAKER_02]: Rob could take carnival cruise. [SPEAKER_02]: It goes out of Baltimore. [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_02]: He could drive. [SPEAKER_02]: That's true. [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know. [SPEAKER_03]: No, the only way Rob's going to get on a cruise ship is if it goes up the river into Dozwell Virginia. [SPEAKER_03]: I come away. [SPEAKER_03]: I go away. [SPEAKER_03]: I go away for four days when I come back and what's his show show prep. [SPEAKER_03]: It's fucking king's domain. [SPEAKER_04]: This is something a little special, though. [SPEAKER_04]: This is more than kick it. [SPEAKER_03]: The only thing that would make it special to me. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I don't care. [SPEAKER_03]: I know it brings you joy. [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm happy to remember. [SPEAKER_03]: But it would be special if they like kicked you out or something. [SPEAKER_03]: He was invited. [SPEAKER_03]: He was invited to be like an influencer. [SPEAKER_04]: Yes, but there was a second invitation that happened this morning. [SPEAKER_04]: Really? [SPEAKER_04]: Quite a surprise. [SPEAKER_04]: They are shooting commercials for the second part of the whole day. [SPEAKER_04]: Hold on, hold on. [SPEAKER_04]: Are you getting right into it? [SPEAKER_03]: Are you getting right into your thing? [SPEAKER_02]: He jumped right into the wall. [SPEAKER_02]: He jumped right into the wall. [SPEAKER_03]: About 700 years of doing a show. [SPEAKER_03]: Do you know anything about like showbiz and pacing and timing and when to launch into that? [SPEAKER_04]: You know, left and opening for it. [SPEAKER_04]: I thought that's what you know. [SPEAKER_03]: I want to get to your thing. [SPEAKER_03]: and start with the influencer today or something to build up to the TV. [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he's excited. [SPEAKER_03]: He's excited about it. [SPEAKER_03]: That's good. [SPEAKER_03]: All right. [SPEAKER_03]: So we'll get to that in a second. [SPEAKER_03]: I'm here to tell our listeners right now that I came into a house that was 83 degrees. [SPEAKER_03]: And I think I don't know because I'm in here and he's out there working on it right now. [SPEAKER_04]: You're out there. [SPEAKER_03]: And so I've got from a very, what was a very nice cruise. [SPEAKER_03]: uh... in spite of the Bahamas uh... was you know was worthy of uh... you know a little bit uh... you're tired when you come back from one of these things and uh... uh... you know i could have done the show earlier but uh... we we'd taped it for thirty uh... and so you know it's late in the day here and uh... was able to relax in the eighty five degree house [SPEAKER_03]: to a degree. [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's none of it's good. [SPEAKER_03]: No, getting back today has not been the problems have been multifold and so there's a lot to get to and I will tell you that as a on a the review that I left the online for the cruise was a lot of nine's and tens. [SPEAKER_03]: I get a lot of nice tens. [SPEAKER_03]: Great, great service and really, really good food. [SPEAKER_03]: The [SPEAKER_03]: only problem with the blues cruise person. [SPEAKER_03]: I like the idea that it's cheaper than a hotel. [SPEAKER_03]: I dig that a lot. [SPEAKER_02]: I watched the video this week and then started looking into it. [SPEAKER_02]: Where the whole point of the video was, it is cheaper now to live on a cruise ship than to rent a home. [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. [SPEAKER_04]: I've seen the senior citizens that take their nest egg and they just live on a boat. [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know. [SPEAKER_02]: It would be math. [SPEAKER_02]: It would be cheaper for me. [SPEAKER_03]: Guy from Hampton Roads and Virginia, sitting next to me at the martini bar, he, what do you say? [SPEAKER_03]: There were a couple of them that were out. [SPEAKER_03]: There was a lady I was chatting with with her friend. [SPEAKER_03]: She has been on this year. [SPEAKER_03]: eight this year, 18 crews is already. [SPEAKER_01]: Wow. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a lifestyle. [SPEAKER_01]: People do it as a lifestyle. [SPEAKER_01]: Are you doing the most? [SPEAKER_03]: Do you guys remember that man dancing when we got off the MSC ship? [SPEAKER_03]: Do you remember the Japanese guy that was dancing? [SPEAKER_04]: Do you remember that? [SPEAKER_04]: No. [SPEAKER_04]: Not at all. [SPEAKER_04]: Wasn't there there's I haven't been on another cruise? [SPEAKER_04]: Have I? [SPEAKER_03]: was that the end of the war? [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, when did this happen? [SPEAKER_03]: No, this guy was on our cruise two. [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lifestyle for people. [SPEAKER_03]: They do it all the time. [SPEAKER_03]: Seeing this guy when you're drinking. [SPEAKER_03]: The problem was Saturday night, um, just, you know, I can't do it. [SPEAKER_03]: So when the incident's got me out of rehab, I hurt myself and I cannot play. [SPEAKER_03]: Mrs. O'Mara was ready on Sunday night. [SPEAKER_03]: uh... she was ready to go that was my son's official birthday they uh... brought them out uh... nice little cake it was a very sweet it was very nice uh... his buddy nick uh... uh... there's nothing like a friend that has no neediness and by the way i experienced it with uh... my daughters i've experienced it uh... with my niece and nephew the low maintenance children are the ones that the non needy kids [SPEAKER_03]: are the kids that get invited on these things. [SPEAKER_03]: Okay. [SPEAKER_03]: So that my son's buddy Nick, just zero neediness and delightful and pleasant and great to have around self-sufficient. [SPEAKER_04]: Self-sufficient. [SPEAKER_04]: Self-sufficient. [SPEAKER_04]: Self-sufficient. [SPEAKER_04]: Self-sufficient. [SPEAKER_03]: He's good little. [SPEAKER_03]: He's good little athlete. [SPEAKER_03]: He's chill. [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, you're not gonna get a lot out of them, but it's not, you know, I don't want a lot out of them. [SPEAKER_03]: I want to chill out so [SPEAKER_03]: uh... he was nowhere near the martini bar i had a you know remember when our friends at that chinese restaurant we like so bad uh... brought out the leechy nuts you've been there when i've done that right uh... i had uh... i got to rather captivated with the leechy nut martini [SPEAKER_03]: That was my beverage of choice on Saturday and that's why you didn't have a very good Sunday. [SPEAKER_03]: It's because, well, it's what I also chased it with at the end of the night. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, what? [SPEAKER_03]: I switched to the esp
