How To Make Lau Lau with Aaronzona.GreenTea | Still Friends Show Ep.106

We're still friends, we're still friends, We're still friends, We're still friends, We're still friends, still friends, still friends. You mustn't wear the shoe and get a chip. Voice is. Way back when done. So we got Mr. Viral in the house today, Mr. Aaron. Arizona iced tea. What? What's the ID again? Yeah. Arizona Green. Tea Arizona Green. Yeah, it's so funny because everybody thinks I'll get DMS. Yeah. And people will be like, oh, oh, you in Arizona?

I'm like, no, no, no, I'm not in Arizona. I stay in Vegas. Are you from Arizona? No, no, no, not at all. It's like, you guys ever drink Arizona green tea? They're like, oh, OK, I get it. And I was like, yeah, yeah, so super. Clever name. Kind of like your comedy and your social media content. Clever. Where did it come from? Because you kind of came out of

nowhere. Like you just had to viral content out of nowhere, Yeah. It was just a joke for friends like my, my, my page was like private at one point. I made the video and everybody's like, oh, you got, you got to make it public. I want to share this. This is pretty funny. And then I did and I told my friends, OK, now it's public. And then I wake up the next day, I'm like, whoa, what is all these messages coming in? And I see like my my followers going up.

And every day I kept going on messages coming up and I was like, Oh no. Think, let, let everybody know that's listening. What video are we talking about? It's a video of me making Lao Lao and particularly judging a ponos Lao Lao and how it was obviously not edible in what in his video. So I have to show him how Lala was supposed to look like, which in that video that's my first time ever making them. Everybody think but I look like

shit too. And I was like wait, hang on, hang on. That's my first time making them and I still was able to make them tender. But prior to that making me making that video, I already saw that video that he made and then I saw the other the next video where he was saying it was a trap. So that's why I was talking with friends. I was like, hey, what if, what if I go try make one video just

for see if he can get triggered. Then I made that video and then he comes out with his saying like I was a trap. You guys fell for it and I was like wow, I knew it already. I already saw that video. He said it was a trap because I guess all the algorithm algorithm works. It'll show you like that video, but I never saw the the stirring the pot video that he made. So that's what made me want to like, OK, I'll go try to do something because our our I

wouldn't say it's a beef. I don't really care about the guy. I really don't. The beef started back in or I had beef with him back in 2023 when I first moved out here in Vegas. Oh. It's been going on for a minute. Yoga, it started. Yeah, so I, I was actually a supporter at one point. I was like, Oh yeah, I got to try his food, man. He always saying he's the best or this is like like, you know, he's the originator and stuff like that. So. Really good marketing. Right.

Yeah, it really. Is it works? So he got me to go try it out one day. That's. One thing I give him, the marketing is really good. Yeah, so me and my my family went down the Cali for I forgot why we went down there. But then we were in the area of Costa Mesa and I was like, oh, hey, the restaurant is here. We go try them. Oh, we're so excited because I show my lady over here just the video and you know, and her mom saw her like, Oh yeah, let's go

try them. So we go there, I hopes as soon as we went in, we're so excited that we didn't order the food yet. We'll go buy merch and everything. I'll buy one shirt. I'll buy a. Shirt. How much we go order the food and we saw the prices and I was like, OK, Cali expensive, whatever we'd order like I think 3 or 4 plates, couple Musubi's and then we go in there we sit at our table, we're waiting and we more people are coming.

So we're like, oh, must be good. A lot of more people are coming and then like maybe 10 minutes go by. I'm like, Oh, maybe me. That's why it's taking a lot of so much people ordering food. 20 minutes go by, but how come we're not getting our food? And then 30 minutes go by and we're like, OK, what's going on? And then we finally get our food. But that point we're like, OK, the food better be worth it. We waited kind of long. Now we open our plates and we're like, oh, what the fuck is this?

Like it's like we, we thought, oh, did we just pay for a mini plate? So we look at the receipt and honestly mini on there, but the, you know, portions was small and then the rice was what we got was dry, which I was like, whatever, I can get past that. So we're eating the first bite we take in. I don't remember exactly what we ordered. I kind of forget. I know we ordered kind of almost everything.

So we had chicken, beef poke. The poke when was in that I was kind of disappointed in first bite in you know, you guys know poke is supposed to be when it's fresh, melt in your mouth. You know, as soon as I felt like almost I wouldn't say gum texture, but I was chewing, but it's not really breaking in my mouth, my teeth. I'm like, ah, something wrong. It's not it. I don't think this is fresh right now. And then my lady, she goes, oh, this chicken is dry. How come?

But it was drowned in sauce and for us whenever I go to a place and stuff is drowned in sauce, it's kind of a red flag for me. I'm like, maybe the food not that great. So you got to hide them on the sauce. That's how I make my food. I'm the worst cook ever. I don't cook. Yeah. So fuck, I just drown everything, yeah. But yeah, I didn't even, I think we ordered the meat gin too. The meat gin was like really bland. I was like, OK, we need to get sauce because it was bland.

And I know most places they marinate the meat, you know, when they make them. This one was like unreal. Never was. No taste was very bland. And then I felt so stupid when me and my lady was laughing. She's like, wow, you even bought his merge too. I was like fuck I know ohh man I look stupid so I know. Giving away the shirts to my friends then bro I.

Was like. Fuck, I support something I thought was good, which I noticed a lot of people always people do that, you know, they, they, they already support, they been trying. They're like. Yeah, the cover that you put up on your story and you gotta delete the story. Yeah, it was so bad. And then you look, you look like the. Collecting type too, because you walked in and I was like, OK, got the Zippy's long sleeve, the Zippy's hat, and these.

This isn't easy to get either. No, no, actually a friend. And then he goes, oh, you got the proper information, skateboard and the signing board. I just came out today and I was like, no, I never get him yet. He's on on order. So he's a, this guy's a collector. I collect. So no, I mean I just came from work to be honest, right Right now, my job thing, I still working like Oh no, hey, lunch breaker. So they watching this, it's OK, I'll call back work. We're good.

We'll keep it short. We should be OK. But yeah, after that, you know, we were, we were so angry about it, like because 1 was also is expensive. Two, we got crap. I mean, I work hard for my money, you know, and and food's big for me, so it'll make my food crap. You're making my life crap because I I really take. Food. Kind of seriously if it's crap. You know what I mean?

Like. We spent almost like I think was pretty close to 100 bucks and I know that's kind of average already right now nowadays, but you know what, we never walk away satisfied. And you know, my, my girl's mom, she she really big into Yelp. So she made a post and then we started seeing on Yelp. Other people were complaining. We were like, wow, we should have looked at the Yelp first, but we just assumed because we were from Hawaii.

Oh, we like support. We just like be there, be like, be like, say, Oh, we tried them, but that wasn't the case. So then I ended up when I moved back or moved out here. I mean, excuse me, there's that Facebook group 9th Island. 9th Island Foodies. Yeah, or not connection, it's just connection. Yeah, OK, people are talking about how like oh, excited for try I porno and then I went on there. I was like, and I'll get your hopes up. The thing is not what you think it is. It's kind of crap.

And then I noticed I I kept I was very like, like I said, I was kind of pissed off about the fact what I got. I started to keep going at it in the comments like yeah, yeah, try. I'm telling you, don't don't go there. Eventually I started noticing my comments here getting deleted and I was like, oh, what's going on? Come nobody, where are all my

comments? And then someone messaged me on the side and was like, hey, you know the people that run that Facebook group page, they're actually friends at IPONO. And I was like, oh, that makes so much sense. So they're just trying to silence me right now. And then after that I get Adm from Gene himself. They what by your own fucking problem? They're like, fuck, you don't know a good fool. You fucking don't know those shit. And I was like, what the what? Oh, what the fuck?

I actually got the DM. I show my friends, we all laughing, cracking. I'm like, oh, this guy really fucking dead. He really messaged me and then after that was was silent, never replied back. I was like, man, this guy is so fucking full of himself bro. I cannot right now. It was too funny. And then it it we kind of went silent after that. Never really have nothing until that viral video I made recently. So that's pretty much what happened. So you make the first viral

video. What what happens from there that that next day the social media starts popping off, the video starts going viral, the followers start growing started. Coming and then, you know, they, they said not to read all the comments. So I'm like, but I had nothing to do. I'm gonna read all the comments. I'm gonna read them. I'm like whore, right? Like was most of them was pretty funny. Some was judging me. I got a lot of DMS from Caracas.

That was like, hey, you know what you guys, you guys bought wrong. Gotta be in tea leaf. And that's when so I thought like, hey, we say, you mean land, right? And. I never have enough TV. Yeah, they're like. Oh, in foil. Not gonna be the same. But I was getting like plenty like judge hard from people, but then I was thinking everybody do fundraisers, everybody else selling La La. I don't really see nobody using tea leaf. So they made it a big deal.

And then yeah, I guess after that I I did get some people who were hold their pitch that I made that video. They're like, wow, you, you and hated all this like, but if nothing has to do, you and loser and scrub and clown and I was like, oh, what's going on? But everybody that had something meaningful say or say something every time I go on their page. Oh, private or did I don't know what they look like because me, I like the roast people. Awful, awful, good fun just for

jokes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, crazy, you know, but it it didn't. That's why like we go back to the me reading the comments. That's when I ended up getting a comment from his video guy, the guy who makes his videos saying that like, oh, yeah, that's right, you're not you're nobody. And I was like, oh, what the hell is this? And at the time I didn't know that was the guy who made the videos. So I actually went on his page and I was like, shoot him a Gavin.

I was like before I was like, oh, no wonder that's when I was like, I made another video. You know, all my stories and stuff just make poking the very just like making jokes like, oh, why you what? That's your boyfriend. I put on something, you know, and then I know I was really joking about like that's your boyfriend and his mom come into the picture. Now I know it's not nothing. I don't even know that was his mom. I thought it was like his sister on my story.

I put, oh, this is this lady, this sister or something. She come out me going off like, ah, fuck, fuck you fat fuck, go to the gym, all this shit. And I was like, what the fuck was going on? And then I realized like, oh, someone said, oh, that's the sister and I got that wrong. It was actually his mom apparently, but now his mom.

That's why I was going to make a second video to that viral video, but then that's when she would change her profile picture and when her first profile picture was a picture of her. So you have a heart in there, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I was like, oh I mean I did make a video, a second part but it was bad like. So it. Was he thought the video means? The tease you made a video teasing that you were gonna be doing like a Part 2 video, right?

Yeah, I was. But then I was like, I think I just really gonna backfire on me on this one. I think 'cause I. Really you had everybody like waiting in so. Everybody was everybody. What a video and. People, people was texting me. He's like, what is that coming on video? And I was like, 'cause like, I really want like, I don't really give in to like the, the drama. Yeah, I see. I'm not really like into the drama thing. Yeah, for sure. No, yeah.

So the text I'm getting on like, oh, what is going on, you know? So that's how I. Kind of heard yeah, I got I even got offers people's like bro, I pay you, I pay you for that video. I mean, it was like, you guys is unreal right now, bro, I cannot. What was it? It's just me just dogging on the guy, the camera guy.

And I made like one whole edit because I used to do like video production stuff and like, like on the lines of like broke back brought us, you know, like, like making jokes, like, oh, you guys gay lovers or something. But you guys, you backing up so hard. And at the time, like I said, I didn't know that I was a camera guy. So I was like, yeah, right now I get one for you. And then I found out the mom called me a fat fuck. And then after that, when I said, you know what?

Nah, never mind. I'm not going to do that anymore. I go put that video and that's not where I am. I mean, I know I make jokes, I crack jokes, but I don't really mean what I say when I'm joking. If I'm going to tease you, I don't really mean it. Come on. Like obviously I know you know the comedy. Yeah, exactly. They took them like, like, oh, you're calling my son gay? And then the screenshots her. She's like, you're not gay no more. And I was like, wait, wait,

what? You mean you're not gay no more? So the way how she portrayed, I know what she meant. She's saying like, oh, she was saying, oh, you're saying he's not gay no more. I was like, wait, is was he now I'm going to feel a little bit bad.

I was like, oh, shit, like, you know, but then the mom end up coming out saying like, oh, I'm glad you didn't, you know, you didn't post that, but it really kind of set me off a little bit inside because I didn't post it. But she, you know, she had the nerve to be like, Oh, you know, my my son, he humble.

And I was like humble. But I get all these screenshots, screenshots of him talking heavy, not just to me, everybody else in the comments, you know, and most humble people, I don't think they do that, you know, and and then yeah, she and then she also said, like, for the record, you started this, you know, going after my son, coming after us. And I was like, hang on. I have screenshots too. We can back it up. Your son was the first to

comment saying I was a nobody. And then I poked at him, you know, fun at him. And then you came out on all my stories was one that I forget was like maybe a few days after that viral video. She was that's when she would say, Oh, you a fat fuck. Oh, let's go, Jim, You have nothing to do with your life, you clown a loser. And I never swear at her or cuss in the messages at all.

All I said was I'm not reading this rubbish like, you know, and and then she took it like, you know, that was that was the part where she's like, see, you came at me saying you're not going to read all this. You told me for shut up. And I was like, did I say that? I didn't. So I, I always read what I before I send it out, you know, you know, So it was just yeah. And then was, oh, his his sister also came up to me after after the whole me saying I'm not

going to post that video. So then what happened after that? Because there's there's been what, like two or three videos since then? Oh, let me find that I was just having fun with that too. Like especially well, I guess we can backtrack when I guess I porno was maybe had to be him commenting on my video saying like, oh, you know, your house mom, you never going to make it in the real kitchen. I never claimed I'm going to run a chef or anything like that. You know, so that's why I made

that. And at the time it was a Super Bowl. It just happened. That's why I came up with the idea. I was like, you know what, that's funny that that that that part where Kendrick said say Drake. So I was like, you know what, I'm going to try doing transition for that. And that video was just mainly to put out there like I don't really care what you have to say. You can say whatever you like about me. I don't really care. You're not going to hurt my feelings.

Where's not hurt me, you know, and then I started getting more traction. A lot of other people coming out saying like, oh, we know these guys. We know his you know, we know his guys too. Talk to get heavy hitters, but I better be careful what you say. I was like, what you guys getting mad over on Lao Lao video? For real? It's like it's not even that serious, Like it was just a joke and I don't know now it's still getting popular.

I'm getting sent videos of people doing the fork test every every time someone goes orders fucking La La I get video sent to me like oh I have to do the fork test with the with the plastic fork they just cutting open into it. So. So with all this momentum, are you in the have to become a foodie now, you think? Like are you trying to be an influencer now? I mean, I have this attention now. I might as well help promote other people that I see you doing the. Pokémon cards.

I saw the I saw the poem thing and I was like, I was just telling him I was like, bro, I was really, really smart. He he got like a platform and now he's doing the Pokémon trading and selling the cards. Because I know like obviously you're in Collector, but I'm not. I don't collect Pokémon, but I know the value of cards and I know, I know what the the trading is and stuff of that. Yeah, I get, I get families messaging me too.

They're like, oh, oh, I didn't know if Pokémon was that big of a thing. I was like, oh, it's a one of the biggest franchises in the world. Like, like, are you into a level up? Yeah. So we have how much? I have a booth there. Oh, OK. So we're getting a booth there, but you know how much people show up? Yeah. Yeah. Every day, right? Yeah. It's a three day event, 60,000 people a day show. Yeah. Yeah. My, my homie Colton is one of the owners. He comes over here all the time.

Oh, OK. Right on. But like I'm not I wasn't I'm not too much into it, but I know enough. But I just know it's a huge in this the the whole Pokémon, the anime, the the gaming is a huge. Industry, even the content, just like like pulling cards, for example, yeah. People, I don't know, that's a weird one for me. People who pay someone to open cards for them. Yeah. And at the time, I've seen people get scammed to where like they pull a card that's worth like, you know, a couple $1000.

And then you know that that those videos go viral where they're like, oh, hang on real quick guys. And they take the cards off camera and switch it with something else. And they're like, oh, next time we'll try again. Next time. You're like dog, we all saw, you know that card, you swapped it out so. What is your? What is your most valuable in your collection? I don't know. See that's the thing, when I collect, I don't collect for the value.

I mean a little. You know the value, you know like as I collecting shoes, you know the value but. I have like something super expensive, but I know my collection total is worth more than some products chains. Not not not saying yours, but yeah, it's up there. This is 1. Yeah, it's pretty up there. I believe, I believe. Is I guess some vintage stuff too, you know, like from like back in the 90s.

That's when I first got into it, you know, and people thought like, Oh, you just you immature, you and kid, and then later on you can be messaging me. Oh, how much is card worth? I saw my my son weirdo, and I was like, ah, see logo. Now you guys trying to figure out now like what? Was it Logan Paul bought the the $1,000,000 one? Yeah, I. Think he has like the world record or something or the Guinness World Record for like the most like, yeah, is it like you never forgot?

What it was about, Yeah, it's insane. Like. The whole millions of dollars I like. Having a 7 figure collection is not not like irregular at this point, yeah. But you know what it what is a crazy thing is the the card is if you really think about the card is worthless, the the the the the street, the street or the the consumer is who makes the value of the card. Yeah, as in anything, right? Right. So like even like in the shoes,

like I know the suit, right. The only reason shoes value go up is because of the consumer makes the value go up. But the retail was 140 Yeah, but then you're paying fucking $10,000 for a shoe which is all consumer base, you know? Yeah. And then that's what everybody always tells me, like, oh, you should do consignment. I say fuck no and do a consignment over here because if somebody robs a shop, how am I going to give them back? How am I going to get that shoe back to them?

Yeah, yeah, never. You know what I mean? And the value that it the retail value to what the actual like the street value is will never, ever. Yeah. Balance. Yeah, because that's how that's how it is with Pokémon and shoes. Like it's I always think of it kind of like the stock market or crypto, you know, cards always go up in value, but in the end it always rises eventually. You know, that's why I don't I collect and I also like the art on them. For me, it's not necessarily a

value thing. Like I have a bunch of cards, they're worthless, but I like the art on it. I don't know, maybe a part of a people, you know, tease me like what you're on the spectrum or something. I saw it or maybe I don't know. I never get diagnosed, you know, like how some people want to get that diagnosed that they get ADHD like they don't even know. I think I get ADHD for sure. Not undiagnosed, not confirming anything, but. Try to get a prescription now. Smoking weed good enough?

You give, you give me Ritalin, Yeah. Oh, is that like Adderall right? Yeah, yeah. I think this is kind of like. About the same thing, yeah, because where does the whole beef go with Ipono? It kind of died off. I don't know. I don't really don't care. A lot of people keep telling me, hey, keep doing the videos. I'm like, I'm getting bored making these videos about him. Like it's too easy. Anybody can make videos about him, you know?

And honestly, the more I'm not trying to give him more any more traction now because I already, you know, I'm just kind of over talking about him or like making videos about him. Like if someone brings it up the chair, I'll talk about it. And and did you ever like, I mean, it does put an effect on like their business, right? And lowers the income and they've got people that work there, but like sure, you know what I mean? They handled it wrong. Or what's your whole thought on that?

He, you know, honestly, he didn't have to come after at anybody, not just me, anybody. You know, if he was like a real like business, say like somebody for like your guys business, they don't like what you like. And if it's that big of an impact, you want to at least do something about it. You're not going to let that sit and now everything's spreading.

Constructive criticism. Yeah, you know, and like for me it say if I was in his shoes and someone really didn't like that, made nasty messages, I first thought not to go out and be like, I'm going to find you, I'm going to fight you. I'm like, what? What I like. No, I'll be like, hey, I want to avoid another incident like this. So I need to know what can be corrected or what you know, I said. Your typical what everybody expects you to think, you know, but I don't know what's going on.

Do you think the the way you were come because I, I don't know the comments that you were putting, but like what were the, the nature of the comments towards like the restaurant, like telling people not to go. I'm trying to think now I have to go back. I know I was saying stuff like, yeah, it wasn't worth it. It was a RIP off, you know, like there's other places you can you can go.

I wasn't going like piece of shit like this and that, but I may have exaggerated the Pokémon, but let me put that out there. I may have exaggerated the poke, saying it was like bubble gum. It was just for fun, whatever, but it was bad though. We didn't finish it. I know we didn't finish the food. We ended up, I remember, I think we went to Wendy's after because we're like, go eat. I was still hungry. I was nothing and like even the musubi was pretty sad.

It was like a sheet of paper surrounded by rice. It was pretty thin. Again, exaggerating, but it was thin. You know, you know it wasn't, you know, at the point where you're eating it, you're like, where is the spam? You opening it up? You're like what, paid almost $5 for this shit? So where do you think like all those success comes from then, 'cause I mean, they have the Costa Mesa location, they've got the Las Vegas location, I don't know who they're, they're

putting the location. You're really good news like news analyst. What? What do you mean like? Like I'm sitting here really like, what do you ask? Now you know what I mean? This guy's coming out with more questions, I think. That's pretty, pretty good. That's good. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah. Oh. For sure I. Don't know. I feel like he just he just knows people like call anywhere. I mean, I wouldn't say you can say luck, but I don't know it's who you know to you know, like

connections and stuff. I honestly don't know how the hell he got Durango. That one's like whoa, how you go from that spot in Cali to Durango, which pretty cool, but that whole act of being a gangster, I don't know how even that is even sustainable. Like me, I tried like it was just for the video, try to act all hard, but I told my friends I'm like, I don't I don't know. I got to give him props.

I don't know how he does this for acting all hard everywhere you go. Like, yeah, I get tired because I'm such a nice guy in general. Like, you know, that's my true nature. I cool with everybody, you know, I like to crack jokes, whatever. But I don't know how he carries

himself. It's it's pretty unreal that, you know, he thinks it's OK And I, I, I don't like, I understand it's all marketing business, but it's kind of a lame cop out to to, you know, hide your shitty personality behind saying that. Oh, it's all business. I'm like, I don't know, man, that's not, I don't, that's not cool. And like a lot of people don't like that.

You know, he, I don't know if he's been in Hawaii for a long time or how long he hasn't or he moved away or whatever, but it rubs me the wrong way whenever he puts Hawaii in his mouth and speaks of it. Because we all know like Hawaii is like everybody's cool. We love each other. Support which does like I said in the beginning, I really did want to support, but after I felt betrayed, I felt robbed. You know, I felt like it was like, oh, this is a fraud like no way. I don't like this.

So I'm trying to help other people be like, hey, you work hard for your money. I wouldn't go there go somewhere you already you're used to, you already know, or like there is a big you know, like following of people that's like oh, this other place is pretty good and that's why right now I like using the attention to help promote other businesses. I feel like that should do good. I mean I'm not I don't want to make any cooking videos. I just cook how I cook.

I mean, I don't even claim to be a chef. Are you good? Are you good to cook though? So I used to be so in the military. So it's funny that they were saying that I have no experience and stuff in the military. I actually was, I used to be, I used to be in the kitchen to cook for, for service members. That's part of my job. But other than cooking, what I also did fatality search and recovery efforts. So I've never deployed because I was Air National Guard, but I

have seen some pretty nut stuff. I remember I watched your podcast how you were saying you saw motocross, you know, accidents, people die. I've done all that too. So like during COVID, I got activated to help out hospitals because the, you know, the hospitals at the time were running their all the nurses were just tired already from working. So they have to activate

military. And after this time I was in Oregon, so I was serving up there and man, the amount of people I've seen that passed away, it was pretty crazy. I also got activated for fires out in Oregon at once. I forget, I think it was during COVID too, when Oregon was on fire, we got activated and we also had to go get recover some remains of folks and help and work with, you know, medical state, state examiner's, Sheriff's Department, everything. And I've seen some pretty nut

stuff. People's obviously we have to get burn bodies, help process them. So it's a pretty big honor to even do that in general. So it, it sucked to have to go through that or anybody. I didn't have to go through that. But it's, it's cool to know that I was a part to help bring other families closure for their families of their lost loved ones, you know, and which I've learned some pretty cool stuff

too. Not saying I know how to get away with murder, but you cannot get away with murder if the body is like, save the bodies all burnt. That's what we had to deal with. Basically we saw it was burnt down to the bone. I don't know how they did it of what the medical examiners are the the the team forensics who how they came in. They was able to make that finger look from a burnt piece of meat to back to a regular finger again, like they rehydrated or something.

That was a craziest thing I saw in there when they they and but it's pretty graphic how they did it. They had to cut them off and I saw it soak in some some kind of solution. And are you? Thinking when using the military. I've seen something like it. It's, it's unreal because they brought it back and it looked like what it's called finger. And I was like, it just looked like a burnt piece of like a stick, a burnt stick. That's how skinny it was because

it was down to the bone. And they brought it back and that's how they were able to help. If they couldn't identify the bodies and that was one way, either that or through dental records or whatever they could. Dental records is just the easiest, the easiest way. But you know, some of these bodies were. Crisp. Yeah, you know, it was pretty nuts too. So well done during. Yeah, well done. It was basically a BBQ. I hate that it's kind of messed up with talking about these

people. Yeah. I don't know if it was a sick joke, but they they brought us lunch and there I was like, on the last day, we're going to do it. They're like, hey, we, we all, we got you a pretty good meal. We all go upstairs and as soon as we go, we get to the table. They open up everything. Guess what? It was BBQ fall apart, BBQ brisket, like it was. And we're all like looking there. We're all like, oh, nobody was laughing. I was like, he kind of fucked up bad. I did this.

I tried, you know, I think, I think that was part of my little, I guess you could say PT, right? Yeah, yeah, it is. But for a while they said it's PTSD, which, you know, OK, I couldn't eat BBQ. Just all I was thinking about was like, oh man, all those bodies that was like that was burnt because they were falling apart and the meat was literally coming off the bones and stuff. So I seen some pretty gnarly stuff. Well, that's why I always tell people and they're like, oh, you

ever deployed? Like no, but I've seen some pretty how did it? Look though like. What do you mean like? Like what? It looked pretty good like. The food? I don't know. Or you mean the oh fall? Off the bone. Oh, negative. That's all. Like if you were hungry enough you couldn't even, or if you were. Hungry enough? I guess I was strong minded enough to eat. I did eat it. No, I meant like a human. Oh, the human.

Oh dude, that's. Like if you were hungry enough, would you be able to take a bite? Out of a human, the. Ones you were picking up. No, no, no. I feel like you. Survival mode. You. You. Crash on a plane like around the mile or something like. That wasn't there, wasn't there a movie about that? Like there's all they crash on the. Plane been before. And they? Yeah, in the mountains. Yeah, yeah. The thing, that's what he did. Like only one what? Only like a few people survived.

There was a bunch of them and but they all were dying off and they were. Eating them right, I didn't eat them. Yeah, they'd eat them, but I was like, I need some kind of seasoning or something. I'm not eating them straight like that, like. See the black guy? Yeah. Over season their. Food over season. I don't know why you're going to be seasoning of this. It was, yeah. It's, well, it was nuts too.

Is, you know, the bodies. Like if you had to eat one race one, what race would it be if you had if you had to eat 1 I. Don't feel like. Colombian. I don't know. I like spicy foods. I would think like Vietnamese people, they eat some spicy chili oils and stuff like that, but they probably eat a lot of that. Wasn't that on a what's his name's podcast? Who? Who they would go for first, I don't. Know. Wait, but. You ever seen the videos? Like I think it was on.

Bobby Lee's podcast, they were like saying like if something happened who we go first. They all looked at Bobby Lee and they like. You know, like some Wagyu, some Kobe beef. No, not what I saw. Out of the three of us, I'm probably going to. You you have to do it. Pretty good. It might be the Zippy's packaging. I don't know what. It is no, I don't know is.

You ever see the videos of them down in Africa that they'll have like a whole monkey in the fire and then they'll just like, start like eating them, like ripping apart? Human flesh. Is different a brata with a buzz cut? Pretty much. I mean, I've seen some of that stuff where monkeys would eat the brains and stuff, but like, I don't know about. Yeah, that's. This guy's wild So. You you think about that. No, no, we're talking about it right now. I pictured in my, I've seen

stuff. I was in the Army as well, but I was just seeing like meat fall off the bone in my head. I was like, if you had to, would you? Survival wise, yeah, then yeah, for sure. But like, you have to be like, you never know. In some places where we deploy to like, you never know when. You go down. Yeah. Meat. Or food, so you might take it with you. You're like. That's. A rough one. It is pretty well. So what are your top five Hawaii

eat restaurants in Las Vegas? Top five guarantee won't be greatest to the Max. I like that one. Bozo V is another one I really like. What's the lefty J's? They're garlic. Chicken. They're the originals. That's the old G's here. Yeah, yeah. My friend got me on down recently and I was like oh how come I never hear this place? This place is so action. I got to try. You've been around forever, yeah. Even on Ross J's too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. That one was another one.

So I got Ross J's, Lefty J's. What I said, guys. And Max, I'm thinking if I want two more Rd. go Hawaii grinds and a team for Pokey, I'd say Pokey Express. I like there's one, but that one kind of give me the like kind of remind me like back home. You know how the way they set up the thing with a little placard that says how much per pound? Yeah, yeah, that's I like that was my first. As soon as I walked in, I saw like that style. I was like, oh. Gotta be good.

Everything felt right, yeah. I was like, right on. This is what it's supposed to be like, you know, And you go in there some local, broader local sister, you know, and taking order. And then I try and I was like, it's the one, right? Yeah. And then I'd say, I don't like to say it's the top. I don't have to throw zippies in there. It's more nostalgic for me. That's why I know it's not everybody's favorite. You know, I like zippies, but.

It's hard to go wrong with DK. It's like, OK, whatever I think of Zippies, I think of like family. I think of like nights out after the club. You go there or like in the middle of the night when there used to be 24 hours, bro, Yeah, you go there and you shop holding one whole freaking bent or like the what you got the surf pack or whatever. Or zip. Pack. Yeah, you know that. That's that's that's why I like zippies. It's more than nostalgic. That was a spot, too. Yeah. On the way home.

I was born and raised Whitmore. So like on the way home and there was a spot that was Zippy's right there. Yeah. Eat. Yeah. All fucked up. Pass out little. Oh man, Everybody get junk stories. Right there. Before Zippy's in Waiwa had a bar in there. Yeah, it was like it was Zippy. It was Zippy's restaurant. And in the back there was a bar. Like when I was, I wasn't old enough, but my dad didn't used to always drinking the bar.

Oh, it was like a legit like you walked, it was a separate door. You went in and it had a bar. Oh, wow. So I think that was one of the few ones that had had a bar in the in it, Yeah. That thing must have been rowdy. Yeah, was was my dad. Did Mace is right there, too. Because my dad then was there, bro. My dad then was there all the time. So it was like. It's the same spot that it is now, yeah. Same spot, but it was so like the zippies now is they they read.

They they redid all the tables and stuff? No, but. No, they, they, they, I think if I'm not mistaken, they might have knocked some of it down and they redid it. But the old one was like the Zippies and then a bar like a fool like walk in like it's like a bar in it. They just had like bartenders and everything. That's crazy. But I never had to go in there. My my dad be all fucked up and me and mom would have to go pick up my dad.

And as you know, yeah, as a Zippies, I think it was another few Zippies that had a bar in it. I didn't know there was any of this. Had a minute this. This had to be before they went corporate guarantees. Oh, when did they? When did they go old? I think like early like 2000s, I think that's. Why? Oh, yeah, This was like, yeah, I was, I was. Well, I was a young kid. I I remember.

I just remember it. Yeah, early 2000s, I think if I remember, if I, I think they went corporate and that's when it was like a big thing. Like you see them everywhere, commercials. And yeah, I have. A friend that was working there from when he's in high school, bro, he's still there. He's like some like he's in charge of the construction crew. Oh, so you do all the construction and and the maintenance?

Construction crew. So he's he's been in this, he's been there since we was in high school. And he's like the boss for like any maintenance, any construction, he, he, they go there and, and they fix everything. Is this their first non Hawaii location? I believe so, yeah. That's why it was such a big thing. Like everybody. But you know, the first time I moved here is in 2002. They said they were going to open it from back then, bro. And then yeah, I heard about

that. We was waiting all these years and it just opened like within the last. Couple I wonder what the the delay was. I don't know, maybe it could be, I don't know, biddings for the land and all that. Finding the right spot, I mean. Well, 2002, there wasn't enough Hawaii people here, I think. Sure. I. Mean like when the last what, five years? You could say the wave of the the wave of people that came here is way more than 2002. Yeah, yeah, 2002 to 2000.

Even like 2000 I'd say 15 ish. 1515 too much? Yeah. But still, yeah, even the housing back then was still. Oh yeah, yeah, I bought my house kind of late, but. So yeah, like you could see until like 10, five years ago, it wasn't too bad. And then the wave came right after COVID is like just started pouring in after COVID. I think they could open up another location. They all right? It's already planned. Oh, it's Anderson. I think it's under construction already.

It's not even that far from the road. It's eastern and serene. OK, that's that's where we're gonna. Be where? Where I if I'm not taken is by Twin Peaks. From what I heard. I don't know, but it's right by my house, so yeah, open, convenient for me. See, I'm not expecting another all a Zippies video from you know, that's when I was like matter. You're not just attacking Zippies, you're attacking everybody else who thought that place was like the place to go.

So my God. I like the oxtail over there. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Because we should. We don't like to wait till like unfortunately everybody likes to wait till the cow, but you gotta wait till too late. Have you ever had I Pono Cafe since? Since the Costa Mesa negative, I was hard pass on that. And then we went recently to the Durango.

Nothing's changed or like, you know, people are like, oh they give plenty of rice. I'm like yeah that's how they get you to put plenty of rice, make like get plenty of food, but it's just rice like rice cheap like and then a little bit on top, you know, I don't

understand. You can pay over $20.00 for like 1 plate that has Calvi in it and really it's just one little slab cut. It's like 3 pieces. You know, I'm like, I don't know how you can justify that. I'm sorry but you might as well Costco but spend $27.00 from freaking rack of them you know and just make them yourself. Which that's why I'm always big on like eating at home. I mean, sure, I'll support. So, so so if you're at home, full, full refrigerator. Pretty much you.

Fucking hamburger mushroom gravy. That's fire. That's fire, yes. Simple no. Everybody's always just like, well, it's like the fucking make a poor man. I was like, bro, that's my favorite. Thing to like chicken with corn be like. Yeah, with corn, you know what I mean?

To me, I mean, I fucking cartilage and all through the bone, yeah. It's it's a pretty big thing. Eating ox ass is one art. It's an art form, you. Just say eating ass is an art. That's who it is. It is an art. Wait, so do you like the ox? Do you like?

Eating. Yeah, I. Do but I just don't like the lot like you know it's late My my my daughter and my son love Oxdale yeah yeah so like if I want to go there like they're going to want to go but it's kind of late to go there that if I'm out partying and most of the time I can't even eat if I'm out partying anyway but that's. Usually everybody's drunk story out here. Yeah, a cow. So all the anti them there. Yeah, Yeah. You see a fat line after midnight, Everybody all boss. Yeah.

I can't even talk. How many people? How many people? But I can sit down. But that's why I said like, like, I like the cow, you know? But we always end up going to zippies because my my kids want to eat. Want to eat Ox still too? Yeah. See what I mean? You bring your family. Yeah, that's what I like about zippiness. You feel like family over there and I like the staff over. There, I couldn't. I couldn't even explain how much orange bang they drink. Oh my gosh. Bang.

You know what? Diabetes. Yeah. No, I don't. Know fucking so much orange bang when they open right? You know how they have the family and friends? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're in the opening. That's right. Yeah, yeah, bro, me and my cousin, we left at least 30 plates. Fuck, we left with so much plates and then and then like our friends was asking us, oh, let me get one too. Doesn't fuck Norton. Yeah, fucking hard. Chili chicken plate. Then they go, you get 8 of them.

I was like fuck it, well it's ours. We're going to warm it up later and we're going to eat it like Rob was. Yeah, that's fuck it up. That was a really good marketing campaign they had too, with how much free food they gave away. Oh, is that what it was? The whole I don't even know. It's free. No it's all free. The 1st that whole friends and family was free. You could get 2 but not mistake. It was 2 meals in when you eat in and then two meals to take out. Oh, I went all three days and I

went with like eight of us only. Friends and family like that, kind like I. Think so. I don't know how we. Go for the next the next location. You guys got to invite me out there please. And then we went like when we went, we had like eight of us, ten of us when we went. So we was walking out with with pleats, but no. But it wasn't a full menu. It wasn't. Yeah, yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah. Can I remember when they started off, everybody was like, ah, that's it. And then you know later to make

some adjustments. On the rice because the rice was a little bit. In the beginning. In the beginning. Wasn't as good as. Yeah, I heard many people too. They were saying like, oh, the cream fried chicken was like, I wasn't crispy and stuff, but. There's to make a changement, so. For a while I'm ordering it. When I go, I was like, oh, wait, but I got it recently. It was OK. Yeah, it was good now. And I know the rice and the rice took a little while for him to get it down, right?

Yeah, the water's different or whatever. I feel like that's everywhere too. Like I don't know when I, when I think of eating rice when I eat it up here, yeah, you definitely can tell the difference from when you eat them back home. So I I know water for sure is a big role in that the. One of my the one of my my. Oh, like the one of what's in the water? Yeah. One of the one of my homies, he's like this well known sushi chef in Vegas and he came over here, he was talking about easy, bro.

I know what's wrong with the with the rice. And he's like, well, if they want, if they want the they want the formula, They don't have to pay me because he's been a sushi. Yeah, he's been a sushi chef in Vegas like 20 years, bro. So he's like, they got the formula. They got to they got to pay me for that. And I know exactly what's wrong with it. What, what they're doing wrong. Yeah, I guess there is there is a difference. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, water in Vegas not

the best. So you can't drink from tab. It's crazy like right now, my lady should always get on my ass when we make rice like, Oh no, use the sink what you're doing. And we get we get filtered water. Use that one. You know she already got into that. Moses. Yeah, you know, all that kind of stuff. So now that's all we do. You know how? Well, how well does that work? Because I have that at my house. Too. I have it too. But like it works. I mean we.

Get one and do you ever. Like test the water. Oh, oh, you know what? We ran out of pH strips. But we, we, we've done it. And I think actually there's a big difference. I know when we do the Vegas water whole thing, any kind of call it straight chlorine, Yeah. Oh, it's I guess so. Do you see that, that, that the one the lady put the chlorine in the the cup and then she put her hand in there, and then she's tested the strip before her hand went in. Yeah.

And they tested it after and a lot of the chlorine got sucked into her pores. Oh, so I was just like, kind of fuck. Is that like, you know what I mean? I was like, I didn't know that. Happened. Yeah, I saw my one friend, he's a plumber, so he was telling me about like if because we live up here in Vegas, you got to invest in like a good water. Like the water softener? Yeah, something like that. Because he's like, he's like, oh, your, your skin is your

biggest oil in your body. Yeah, whatever you put in your body, your body. I never got my water softener. I was like my fucking asphalt, all slime meat in the crack. Oh me too of you are like.

I think that would be fun. If he's down, but I don't know, like he said in his podcast, I think that's his. He said he got better things to do. So I was like, oh, OK, I don't know. It's not like you're not really doing much. They have to be, I mean, to be opening up, sure, another restaurant, and supposedly they have even another one planned out somewhere. I don't know, man. I keep getting a lot of people are like, yeah, I know this is coming from like back home people.

I don't even know any of these people. They all just like, yeah, no, we're not going to do that. We're not going to go. Who's going to go Waikiki for that? Like not worth it. And we all know he's smart going after tourists. You know, that's a hot spot. They're just going to buy it. They don't even know what they're buying. That's pretty smart business. Business wise, what?

I don't know. Morally wise, I don't really like what the guy stands for, which, you know, I'm allowed to say that, you know, of course, in terms of their own opinions. What? So back home like OG spots, what is your spots at home? I don't even know what's there anymore. Because you're from what power? Yeah, but. You were driving. Yeah, the words are like when I was still. I used to like Far East Chinese Kitchen. Oh, that was way back. Cake noodle, roast duck.

OK, I know about that. I bought my friend one plate like that. The next day. He never came work. He's working Caterpillar. Yeah, like the mechanic. Oh, OK. Yeah. So when you come in, I bought, I was like, Roy, we can go buy Far East Chinese Kitchen. Nah, I don't like, boy, I don't like. I was like, no, fucking grab your plate. And he's an old man. Like older. I can grab your plate. So grab the one. Cake noodle, oyster. Cake noodle, roast duck. He was all grinding at lunchtime.

He stayed grinding. Oh fucking good. He never come work like fucking one week and then he finally came back to work. He was like, I was like Roy, where you was you fuck up. He's hot ate that plate. I never had goat and now I get goat. I was like, oh fuck, we didn't push you over the edge. You just got one meal. Hold that one meal. I guess he was right at the edge and we didn't fucking. Push them off. Yeah, I. Felt so. I felt so bad. Yeah, I never really knew God was that serious.

So I actually have friends that get God, like most of them, they're all like someone's ass. I was like, well, God, that seriously, he's bad. Even Like, yeah. They say if a wind blows, it hurts. Yeah, they're like, dude, any boy I even had like they. Said bro. I've heard that too. I even had like friends in high school where they never come for the whole week. It's a Filipino guy in high school. In high school that were young, Yeah, this is one of my questions.

I was like, oh, where you went? You went go vacation or something. It's like, oh, it's goat. And at the time I was like, what the fuck is that goat? Is it? Oh, it's just I just in pain. Can you catch it that early, goat? What do you got to eat? You just. Eat at it, he told. Me like what do you do? Like how do you do that? Donkey piss or something, I don't know. MSGI don't know probably. Going to kill him. No, but how like how do you how do you get it? Isn't it from eating like super

salty? It's like I thought to process. I know like it like I know some people that they just power through, but like no yeah bro, they drink 1 Heineken boom. Don yeah, can be just very little, can even be like as simple as like one bite of like you. Know bro to eat it and bomb it of some to be yeah but they're just those are kind that's the kind guys they just fucking power right through and. You got to be ignoring a lot of signs before you get to this point, you know what I mean?

Like. Some of them they think, ah, it's just maybe just because they're getting older. You know, that's probably what they think. I just getting older. That's why I feel like that. But really, but you're still kind of young. It's probably. To go, no, I had, I had a my cousin Khalil, he was even Hawaiian Airlines, you know the magazines and you get in, in the in the flight.

Yeah, he was doing all like the hiking trails and yeah, all his hiking trails that you could like kind of like go on his website and check the trails and how long it takes and how many miles it is, right. Is it back home? Yeah, back home and. Then he did all the hard trails, easy trails, he rates it and stuff.

But he was in Hawaiian Airlines, like kind of like the guy if you want to look up trails and fuck, he did a trail and he's telling me he's like, bro, I thought it because there's plenty downhill. He's like, yeah, yeah. I thought I broke my, my cousin's in shape. He said I thought, honestly, I thought my toe was broken. So it went on for like a couple weeks, like 2 weeks or whatever. I thought it was broken. So I was like, fuck, I got to go to the doctor.

My toe is probably all fucked up, right? He went there, he did the test. He had gout. Oh, the whole time. Yeah, he was in his big toe. He said. He said bro, I mean, he's in shape too. So he's I never ever would have thought I had gout but. I mean. Does he eat crazy though or drink crazy? No, but he's all he's in shape, bro. He's. I don't know. Maybe he's random. I don't know. Yeah, like, like, I don't know, but he doesn't. He's he said it was bad enough that he thought his toe was

broken. I don't hear a lot of white people getting gout, do you? Fuck, they don't eat like us, that's why. That's what I'm saying. So it's got to be the. Food, I think like when you see eat so like smoked meat, all the fat on the end. And you eat like not. Just that. How was that smoked meat seasoned? You know what? I. Mean oh, with everything, right, Right. Yeah. Fucking opium on Lao Lao boom meat fat. How old is he? They see the fat. They're like, oh, they push him

to the side. They're like, ah, that's the best. Part they ain't fucking sucking on oxtail ass either. Isn't that Isn't oxtail super salty? Nah. No, you. No, no, no, no. I've never had a really salty one. It's usually the broth like that is pretty bland that for the most part. I mean, you can always. I don't know how to explain what makes oxtail is. Good. I can't explain what makes oxtail so good, but. I can't even talk because I've

never eaten. You see what I. Mean that's why I was like that's why I was like everybody getting mad at me and holy hating I'm like wait, I actually tried it OK everybody back home they never try them and they'll be automatically that's why I'm trying to help guide them. Well, not really guide them well like tell them like go try them first before you start supporting.

They'll be like me fucking by merch that looks stupid by your own fucking plastic bag with fucking two shirts inside like like just just go try the Food First. If you like them good, good on you. That's how it's supposed to be but it's kind of inconsistent from what I'm hearing. I'm still getting people that go back like a second time and they're like nothing bro even. Cooney's wasn't a good spot in Waipawa, so oh. Cooney's. Cooney's. Yeah, that place is long gone too, huh?

Change names on yeah, or like it's a company of that machine, whatever that right? I know. I think Palominos is like a Japanese restaurant. The ATM it says like when you it's like a Japanese restaurant. A lot of places do something. They have a lot of Chinese restaurants.

I don't place it back East do that. Oh, OK. Yeah, I don't know. I've I haven't been to I've been to one. That's not my thing. But I see you guys that's. Cool, I'm a connoisseur. I went one time and I was like, the only time the reason why I went was because my friend was like, oh, it's dollar beers and I want to play some dollar beers. I was like, OK, right on. As soon as we get there, I was like, why you lied by so strip club. You're like, yeah, but the the

The shower don't. Need to wipe me down after I got it I. Remember, I went to a massage parlor like for real, because I was working like construction at the time and I really, I really had to go with my coworkers. We're going to oh, fuck, we all sore like from working at the time. I never know. My friend was like, yeah, pay for you. I was like, OK, right now. Thanks, Avril. We're going down a fucking lady. She'll be like, OK, you can take off all your clothes. And I was like, what?

All of them? And then I just take off my shows in my boxes and she's like, no, I said all of you RIP my boxes down. I was like, oh, hang on, what the fuck? And then she's like, OK, you can lay down. And OK, so she actually, I actually got the massage. And then she told me, OK, flip over. And that's when she'll bring out like the oil maybe when I was like, get you ready. I was like, wait, what's going on? And she was gonna reach for him like, oh, wait, wait, wait.

Look, you know, I never really thought about that part, but I always like would look out the window and then Kev some the dog was boom boom, knocked down, then jumping on here, jumping here, running.

I strapped right now like because when you guys when I got invited, I was like, tell him wait, wait, you think this one trap. So I have my boys. No, me, like me. I was telling you it was a brawl. Is it good to get, like, involved? He's a bro. We're newscasters. I mean. It's good for you to interview everybody. And I was like, you got to look

I haven't talked in years, but I was like, yeah, fuck it, if he wants to come on then fuck it, whatever. Sure, yeah, I'd rather do it, you know, you know, off record, But I don't mind also coming on. Here we can talk on camera medium. It's cool. And. We'll have a few minutes to talk before the cameras turn on,

yeah. You know, I'm a cool guy. I'm cool to just be like, you know what I'm sorry for? That's also another big thing for him. That would be the craziest thing because a lot of people think that me and that his beef is like, we're together, we're doing this on purpose, like, but I don't know this guy, he don't know me. Oh, Brad, I would. He'd do. The craziest thing and just be like eh and. That's what everybody, the most

people really want. That would be the second biggest heist beside besides Ryan Garcia's. What you mean? Oh. Because we we knew what the the Ryan Garcia that last. Point Yeah, yeah, we. We was kind of like in the circle of all that. So we we saw, we knew what was going on the whole time. Oh, OK, that's. Like creating, like all the chaos in my plate, everything. This is not bad. So we was like, we was like, no, I mean, like, yeah, that I want to be in a yeah, yeah.

What kind of got to see all behind the scenes and the secrets of how it all got put together. But sure seems like this is authentic. It's pretty legit, but then again, like I said, I'm still a nobody from my guide. Analyst. Analyst review, it's kind. Of he just kept sending me the videos I got. It was hilarious and I got stuck in like. Whatever. There was that was not my intent. No, because it was supposed to be just friends.

And they show their friends, not, oh, people from other parts of the globe is now messaging me like, whoa, is this in Vegas? And I was like some guy from like, Europe. And I was like, oh, my God, what the hell? What's going on? What, what? What just happened? And they know about like the whole the the restaurants and. Everyone now they do, I mean, but you know, now for the wrong reasons, you know? I just said I gotta say that Kendrick fucking pretty witty that. Was. Crazy. Witty, even.

My coworker was like wow, what's she doing? He's like Oh no way, no way, no way. I get I do something real quick quick, only take 5 seconds to do I mean. Honestly, I always feel like that's the funniest, funniest shit, right? Is the stuff you like. Yeah, you stick off my other spot. Just do it. And then you can look at them after, you know, But I, I, I honestly don't knock on if everybody wants me to make more I porno videos. I'm like kind of I think I got

my point across. Everybody gets it. Now we're just gonna see what he. Gonna Food reviews now. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. I, like everybody, know we get good grains. You know, I don't. I'm not those people that like to gate. I can't stand. Just it was a Taco shop where you should. Yeah, come to my Taco shop. Yeah, you know Vegas Poly seeds where? Where Vegas policy. He's one of the influencers in town. He's a really big influencer,

but we own a Taco shop together. Oh OK, yeah, I like Taco maybe. We should try to go outside because they got honestly, everybody talk about Hawaii restaurants. Oh yeah, that's right, there's. Other places I like to try stuff that's outside of our at the end of the day, like you know what Hawaii restaurant you want to go to at the end of the day when if you feel like eating Hawaiian food. But yeah, I'm always trying to find like, what is a good outside of our. Yeah, because.

Other people ask me like when they fly from home, they're like I always said, oh, go to this spot is better. I don't eat Hawaiian food. Yeah, yeah. How to eat like Mexican or something. So if you had reviews on stuff besides Hawaii food be good too. Yeah, I know. That's good thing about doing. I also like like I said like soups. I like this place called Fobos so I don't if you been there but. I like fuck them long fuck. You fucking on that for also better? But fuck em. Long welcome.

Long is like Zippies. Yeah, but it went downhill ever since. I don't know if they changed owners but you. Used to be 24 hours, you know, before. Yeah, I know. I remember and I saw I used to go after the club all boss at 4:00 AM Yeah, we're eating that as soon as you walk out the restaurant, sun already coming out and you're. Like, but that's what to me, that's what fuck em long is is is like the zippies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like that's a go. To what do you think is better

the best fall spot in Vegas? I don't want to see best, you know, Like I said, there's no such thing as the best. It's whatever you like. I prefer Forbosa. Where's that? It's right off of Spring Mountain and shit. I don't know where that is, honestly. It's it's near Spring Mountain, just like on another Rd. just more down the road. It's a yeah, it's a small little shop, really small, but Arizona was really good. I like ramen. You like ramen? Yeah. You like you read at. I used.

To like Montas, but I don't know what happened to that. Yeah. I don't know, I used to like they were really. Good at one time. To it's the other one. It's on Spring Mountain too, right? It's around. The corner. Yeah. The small little hole in the wall. Yeah. Yeah, I was. I don't know the name. I know that one. I used to go. There a lot. Like a lot. I was big I.

Was a guy too. I can, but now that, I mean, I still young, but now I'm getting older, I can, I can tell the difference in my health when I eat heavy broth like that, you know, like you know the freaking you. Ever tried? Oh, you ever tried? Sorry, No. Are you good? You ever tried Makaya? Where's that one at? The all you can eat Wagyu spot? Spring Mountain. Oh OK, I like Wagyu, that's my shit like. Is is like, I think it's like $85, all you can eat.

And it's like the legit hot pot. Yeah, yeah. Like, OK. But if you go with five people and one person gets the the $85, everybody ought to get the. Everybody. It's one of those. Yeah, that makes sense, I guess because, you know, most places like us were like edges. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Some to me just say it's yours. That's me. What like seafood boil, like the all you can eat ones like I'm sure they already know we do that, but I'll I'll be the only

one to get the all you can eat. Viking just got just opened up a all you can eat menu menu. See all these cool places, man, that's why I like I'm still trying to explore myself because I don't like yeah, when my friends come visit from Hawaii, like yeah, they say the same thing. Look at. Me, I'm not going. To use zippies I mean, obviously, because you can just eat them whenever. Every time I go hot and juice I

gotta blow ass right there. Fucking it brought my ass on fire and I always got to blow ass. I like I like going there, but I always wear like clothes I don't care for because you're you're messy. Oh, it's messy and you smell and the whole car reek now of the whole place. Now you smell like seafood boil everywhere. That's that's just me, you know,

but. What else is good The bro that's not like maybe that's somebody review you should you should do is outside of our yeah, that's think that'll be cool to me. Or even like desserts too. Or Bobo, whatever. I get food trucks here. There's so many. And that's why it's Vegas really is a hot spot for like, anything. Yeah, sports. Besides, it's not even the gambling like, you know everybody. Always not as much, just gambling. Gambling so far down right now.

Yeah, everybody you think of Vegas, they're like gambling. Sure, it's typical, but now it's like, oh, and a sports baseball stadium. Soon you know and. Basketball state-of-the-art stadium too. It's It'll probably be the best baseball stadium ever built. You think will be covered though. It is it. It is. OK. The final market. OK, yeah, 'cause I was thinking I was like, oh, much baseball in the summer. 120. Years watching that. But I'm going, I'm gonna stay at home.

I'm going to a bar and watch that game. Go there. But I'm excited for. That and the sweets are supposed to be insane. Yeah, it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be a beautiful park. Yeah, I never realized like the baseball players do they make plenty money, like more than like they don't have a cap. Yeah, it's just to keep going. They're. They're kind of in line with them now, yeah. No, but what is it? What is it doesn't it doesn't have a cap.

But they have what did they? They don't have a salary cap. That's right. And fully guaranteed contracts, they're just, it's a very strong union. It's probably the strong. It's like fucking 170 million, yeah. Yeah, but you got to think they're signing 10 year deals. 170 divided by. $17 million a year. But it's. Not like you can do 1,000,000 on the whole. But Jalen Hurts that Prescott, they're making 5350. Four. Yeah, but that career's done, and not their career's. Not that long.

I mean they're going 1215 years, pretty average. But baseball, you can play till you're like 50 I think. OK. But that's still four times, that's still making four times what he's making per year. Yeah, but they have CTE and fuck on it that shit, you know? Yeah. I don't know about fucking. I don't know. We'll ask. Is my question Victorino's when they come on the? Podcast Oh yeah. Shane mother fucking bear answer my phone call. That's how I texted you.

He texted back. But yeah, that's what I don't know. I don't know of all like my my son's in like trying to see like he like he like wrestles and boxes and jujitsu. What Oh see that? I'm trying to see like what fucking like is it golf? Is it like you know? Yeah, Vegas has everything for that too. Like everybody coming for conventions, all kinds of stuff. I might I? Probably I might got into golfing I think. I can't you golf. No, my friend tried to get me into it. I I like try like them.

I like trying new things, so I'm not dogging. I like. That you get to dress up. Yeah, that's like back home, everybody wearing Aloha shirt. I know. Oh, you dress more nice than you go to the club. Like what the hell, You're just going golfing. Some people it's a, it's a fashion seat right now when you golf. Yeah, you can be shitty at it. They're like, but you have. A good time. You have a good time with the boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
