[SPEAKER_13]: You know, it's 300 degrees out here.

[SPEAKER_13]: So taking them outside to do stuff is really not a car.

[SPEAKER_12]: And the casino is not good.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, it's much as like, you know, as soon as he gets to be 10.

[SPEAKER_13]: Man, it can't come fast yet 10.

[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, can't play one down there.

[SPEAKER_13]: Doesn't matter.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'll leave him in the car with the air conditioning.

[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to teach you what a trifect is.

[SPEAKER_13]: There you go, baby.

[SPEAKER_13]: Take a look at this, Michael, you know, some of those machines are just like watching a cartoon.

[SPEAKER_13]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_13]: I like trying to, um, so I decide Chuck E. Cheese inside, we can hang out.

[SPEAKER_13]: We'll grab, uh, you know, dinner because Mama's going to her orientation or her classes that she's going to take.

[SPEAKER_13]: So I've got them for the whole afternoon.

[SPEAKER_13]: So it's the road less travel.

[SPEAKER_13]: There's nobody, hardly anybody in the Chuck E. Cheese.

[SPEAKER_12]: So it's an early afternoon Wednesday, checking cheese style.

[SPEAKER_12]: It's not exactly like it's not exactly the time you're going to spot a birthday party in there.

[SPEAKER_13]: No, not prime time at all.

[SPEAKER_13]: And I roll in there and it's cool.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'm fine with that and he's running around.

[SPEAKER_13]: Grabbing his tickets and I don't mind it.

[SPEAKER_13]: I'm running around with him and we're having a great time.

[SPEAKER_13]: And are you running one time I actually ran?

[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, wow.

[SPEAKER_13]: Oh, you get excited because you did that.

[SPEAKER_13]: Come here and I'd fainting.

[SPEAKER_13]: You know, I pretended.

[SPEAKER_13]: Well, you got your monthly quarter of exercise in.

[SPEAKER_13]: You know, testicle 2.

[SPEAKER_13]: I don't need this one for me either.

[SPEAKER_13]: So I'm sitting there and I see this dude.

[SPEAKER_13]: And he's on, uh, he's on his, it's not really an iPhone as much as it's a small, like I pattern.

[SPEAKER_13]: Wow, okay. [SPEAKER_13]: That's a lot of good-looking people all in one. [SPEAKER_13]: He is and I notice him because I notice, you know, a man by himself in a booth at Chuck E. Cheese You know, I get a little bit of a you know or an egg warning or an egg or danger will robin. [SPEAKER_12]: And it's a you know, and it's something that you he probably realized it [SPEAKER_12]: Because you realize when you're out of place one time I took the kids to the Renaissance festival and there If you know talking to the kings and getting their pictures taken with all of you and I realize hey, it's me I'm 45 and I'm just walking around the Renaissance festival by myself people think I'm a creep But not the same stigma. [SPEAKER_13]: No, they child places, but yours is five types of work I had the sensation of Victoria's secret. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, okay. [SPEAKER_12]: Thank you. [SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, Jim has a secret too [SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, I know he just loves coming here and doing this. [SPEAKER_12]: I think I might lock him in here for the weekend. [SPEAKER_13]: See, this is a relief for my wife because he's like, don't you ever stop talking? [SPEAKER_03]: And I thought people would accept me. [SPEAKER_06]: He's my chickenest. [SPEAKER_13]: Don't go crazy, Jim. [SPEAKER_13]: That's it. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah, yeah, don't go happy. [SPEAKER_13]: Anyway, so I'm watching this guy. [SPEAKER_13]: He's just making a joke. [SPEAKER_13]: Maybe there are maybe 10. [SPEAKER_13]: to 15 kids with their families sure in this but no children with him but they're no children around him at all now another dude when we have our our little pizza comes and we sit down and we're having a conversation how is the piece and he's a he's a made I didn't have any believe it or not but for you it's a for you [SPEAKER_13]: I'm lying. [SPEAKER_13]: I never know. [SPEAKER_13]: You need a body like this without a eating. [SPEAKER_13]: I mean, and Carla wasn't there. [SPEAKER_13]: Of course, yeah, I'd be like three quarters. [SPEAKER_12]: Some perhaps. [SPEAKER_13]: You got Chuckie Salad. [SPEAKER_13]: The rat garden salad. [SPEAKER_13]: We were right there. [SPEAKER_13]: We were right near to the rat salad bar. [SPEAKER_12]: Oh, the salad bar is I'm glad there are some places that still have salad bars because that's a great thing. [SPEAKER_13]: another dude sits down on the booze on the other side and he says that I don't even think this about him because I'm like oh he's obviously a dad yeah it's like not not getting into it and he's got to spouse somewhere running around and he's doing his own thing. [SPEAKER_13]: But this is how the mine works. [SPEAKER_13]: Did you look at somebody and you see that? [SPEAKER_13]: And so I'm running around Chuck E. Cheese and there are maybe three, four, five moms around and a few dads around and you know, it's fun when the little ones will like crawl into a car that Michael is sitting in. [SPEAKER_13]: and at one point this this turbo you know hotty comes up nice looks like she looks like Marko Robbie I'm not kidding you wow her little her little like int you know toddler comes up and I'm trying to be nonchalant and that's [SPEAKER_13]: It's just I and she says don't do that don't do that just and don't do that and I'm like, it's okay You know I'm kind of leaning over like I'm fainting this inches. [SPEAKER_13]: I've a stay as long as you're lying The judge had hang around She's so he's been acting out since his father left [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, I got a head at the end of the day at the end of the day I go back and we sit down again and I'm coming back over and this turbo hotty comes over to the table and this is her hubby [SPEAKER_13]: And so the 60-year-old fat man with a beautiful wife said see it's not just me This is a guy that out kicked his coverage like you would not though. [SPEAKER_13]: I mean you would not believe my mouth was a gap I thought this was Johnny Pervalino sure was sitting there, you know, and now is here for people [SPEAKER_13]: We've discussed this before people come into, you know, workmen come in because it is cheap pizza. [SPEAKER_13]: It is cheap lunch. [SPEAKER_13]: I've seen that before, but this was one where, you know, you're always on guard in an environment that's kids centric because you're like, you think some creepo. [SPEAKER_13]: This guy gets up. [SPEAKER_13]: There's not a lot of interaction. [SPEAKER_13]: So it's not like he's even engaging, but I have no idea whether I'm pretty sure this was her husband. [SPEAKER_13]: Okay. [SPEAKER_13]: And you know, it was it was stunning to see it was special. [SPEAKER_12]: Did you swap any actual conversation with Margot Robbie? [SPEAKER_13]: Uh, not really. [SPEAKER_12]: Because I always think it would be nice, you know, just to be friendly, obviously, all adults are sort of uncomfortable Chuck E. Cheese because it's an environment for children. [SPEAKER_12]: If you had said, if you said, you know, we appear to be sort of outside is here. [SPEAKER_12]: Would you like to join me in the ball pit? [SPEAKER_13]: God, it is awkward, isn't it? [SPEAKER_13]: It is. [SPEAKER_13]: It is. [SPEAKER_13]: It's always awkward in this. [SPEAKER_12]: Oh, the worst. [SPEAKER_12]: It's the absolute hate of that place. [SPEAKER_12]: And you know, when you have kids in that age range, you go about three times a year. [SPEAKER_12]: Usually you're responsible for one visit for yourself, then there's a birthday party or a meet-up or the God forbid the play date and you just go there and it's like, what are we even doing to ourselves? [SPEAKER_12]: Here comes the teenager dressed as a rat. [SPEAKER_12]: Okay. [SPEAKER_13]: I didn't say anything to her. [SPEAKER_13]: I just said, I said, I did say this, I said, it's okay. [SPEAKER_13]: It's okay. [SPEAKER_13]: He can crawl and you know, he can stay as long as he likes it. [SPEAKER_13]: You're my dick. [SPEAKER_13]: You're my dick, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride, it's for a ride [SPEAKER_13]: Speaking of Christmas, there is the big pageant that will be coming up shortly with my kid's school and apparently I came home and my wife informed me that my son is actually going to be the little drummer boy. [SPEAKER_13]: Wow, and I saw some of it really fine. [SPEAKER_13]: It's absolutely really fine stuff. [SPEAKER_13]: That's a beautiful thing. [SPEAKER_12]: No, is it a non-denominational pageant? [SPEAKER_12]: Because so many times when I was growing up in kindergarten and stuff, they couldn't do Christmas stuff. [SPEAKER_12]: He can do holidays. [SPEAKER_13]: No, it's a it's a it's a sick church. [SPEAKER_13]: Oh, good. [SPEAKER_13]: That's good. [SPEAKER_13]: Then he goes to. [SPEAKER_13]: It's the Sikhs. [SPEAKER_13]: No. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: Well, no. [SPEAKER_13]: It's a Presbyterian church. [SPEAKER_13]: Okay. [SPEAKER_13]: I didn't realize that. [SPEAKER_13]: Okay. [SPEAKER_13]: And I'm not a Presbyterian. [SPEAKER_13]: So I don't know what the Presbyterians do. [SPEAKER_13]: They worship drums. [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_13]: I think you have to watch it. [SPEAKER_13]: I think you have to watch it. [SPEAKER_13]: I think you have to watch it. [SPEAKER_13]: I think you have to watch it.
