Dudes, what are we getting for lunch is a question. We have to go get like a like like you know, mimosas. Right, we have to wade some.

Bosies somewhere with a sidewalk, uh apparently, Yeah, with a plant. You just chill out.

I want to drink with some with some garnish in it. Yeah, of breezy lemonade I'm gonna do this a lot too. I just feel like this is gonna be a thing for me adjusting, right, Yeah, yeah, h when we do it. When I do the meet and greets sometimes, I used to do some sillies to make a time pass when me and the boys of meet and greets, and I would always do this thing where I would when somebody's walking up, I'll be like, I'm gonna touch their face

But imagine, I mean, you're waiting this whole time to meet you, you're such a huge fan, and then a like a digit just.

Random yeah, yeah, all.

Right, all right, let's get into it.

So go moms. Thank you so much for subscribing to our YouTube. That's a big thing. Please do that. And then also of course sliding into the d MS.

Yeah, rate review, subscribe. This has been a podcast.

I think you and I have discussed this, uh off.

The air or whatever, but I think we do it. It's a lot of fun.

But I think, uh, you know, there's gonna be you know, more of a focus uh two to kind of you know, make make it more than you know.

First question, Oh, I think you're te up the question. Were you trying to say something?

No, but I think this has almost been kind of like a hobby, you know. But then you know, and just talking to you lately, it's like, Oh, I think we're gonna talk.

About amping it up.

Yeah, amp it up?

Yeah, yeah, big plans of the Cool Moms.

Yeah, it starts with wardrobe and it builds out from there.

It's a lifestyle choice, guys. It's it doesn't only happen here. It happens here and here and here. That's right, That's where it is. It's almost importantly that's right here, right here.

Okay, this is coming on us from Alita.

Okay, Hi, love the laughs when I listened to both you Cool Moms.

Brandon.

Father's Day is about a month away. I need ideas for gifts for my husband. I'm I'm a notoriously bad gift giver, especially to my husband.

Any suggestions would help.

You know what you used to crush it for me for a Father's Day gift? On both sides of it, I loved the j C. Penny walkway. You know when j C Pennies when they did j C. Pennies. They did the whole little like tables they would set up on the way up to the cash wrap and it would just be all the stupid little like fathers, like desktop, golf, all those things that would I would always find stuff

I don't think that's a that's not a bad call at all. My son drew a picture for me recently and out framed it put it next to my you know when I get up in the morning and you know the bathroom.

Were you losing for the word? You didn't know what the bathroom was called? What is the matter? You're really uncomfortable right now? I'm having my dog. Okay, So he drew a picture you put in a frame and put in your bathroom. Totally normal, there you go.

Yeah, but it says it says you got this and my son drew a picture of me holding my my my wife's, my wife's hand, and my two kids hands and it's just the four of us.

And I was like, that's so sweet. That's a nice thing to see in the morning.

Cool.

So so with that, my daughter knows I love this seventy eighth Superman. So she looked up an.

Image and drew it and colored it in and was it good. Just went, yeah, it's really good. Actually, so I framed it that she's.

Not listening, I'm telling you it is really good on it. So I framed to put that in my office. And those things, of all the things in my office, those are like the two things that's super cool, really really cool.

But my my refrigerator is just filled with stuff that my son has drawn. And he also bought do it yourself magnet thing we had for him, and he made the magnets that are on my fridge, like calls it. It's just his name and like picture I love Dad and stuff. It's really cool. Like my whole thing is like a little shout out to his gallery artwork. Yeah, it's really cool.

Yeah, I would I so Father's Day gifts suggestions, though, I would think here's here's what I think is kind of fun.

Lately.

I was New Orleans. I went to some antique stores. Yep, I was in Vegas. I went to this great antique store. Every time I'm walking through there, I'm like, oh, so and so would love that. So and so would love that. Or they have like these old school mechanical like nineteen thirties forties, like those old mechanical banks.

Fun.

Do you remember those?

So fun?

It was like a golf one.

There's like a one with the do you put the penny there and it drops? It's just like, I don't know, things like that are pretty.

Nostylegic, big for dads. So yeah, for sure, I walk around. I just found a wily coyote glass that I used to have growing up, and I bought it on the road. Were you right, Jake, Yeah, we were an antique store and I bought a wily coyote glass and a roadrunner

Uh?

Do you do that to?

You?

Exchange gifts with your dad? Because I got some people give up on it. Yeah.

I get him some stuff every now. Yeah, I mean for sure. I mean birthdays, like I think last birthday, got them like McCartney tickets l McCartney. But yeah, yeah, I always make sure to send them something.

No father this day.

Yeah you know what my uh my son started getting into it, and I was like, oh, this'd be kind of fun. Baseball cards. There's different kinds of baseball cards or or whatever sport he likes. Like before When you were younger, it was just Tops.

That was it.

You just Tops or Fleer, and that was kind of it. Now they have all these specialty kind of like Alan and Ginter and these high end like types of things. Those are fun because my son's like, hey, will you open these with me? And we're going through it's like you got Aaron Judge. It's like it's fun. So I don't know even as to go to that nostalgia bent. I would I would say, what kind of sport does he like? Maybe find like some of those high end cards. Get him a box of those and watch them light up.

Was like this great. Yeah, that's fun.

I think that that'd be kind of fun.

I would say, take your dad to the movies. I feel like most dads like movies and dads like spend time with people. So you just go out for take and that's you know, go out for a movie, get some popcorn, hang out. I think that'd be fun. Eighty for Brady?

Would you say eighty for Brady?

Eighty for Brady?

There you go go do that?

Where are the father Day? Perfect? Father Day?

Wear this when you go yeah, I can't believe this is the next hell.

Double XL two X on this. Pitch yea on this, sassy broad All.

Right, this is coming us from This is actually a good question. This is coming ups from Warren.

Hey, cool moms. I love you guys podcast. I listened to it every episode. Want to hear your guys' thoughts on tipping. Is it tips something of workers entitled to or something that has earned Who do you tip?

Service?

Bartenders, baristas, movers, bell hops, all the above? Do you always tip the same percentage or does it depend? Great question, Great question, and I just dealt with this in in.

New Orleans This is Fresh.

Went to a bar, ordered around of drinks or another round of drinks, and then you get the thing back and it says, do you want to tip twenty twenty five or thirty percent or whatever? And like, no, that's what a server gets. A server gets twenty twenty five or thirty percent of a bill. A bartender, at least for me, after having worked in that profession.

I'll give you maybe.

Ten because you're literally just pouring a drinking given it to a server's there for the whole meal, hoof it red refills. You want to go box what I mean? You think at all the things you want to accommodate. You forget the dressing on the side. Here you go just I think a bartender, you want to if you're drinking there for a while, start heavy with the tipping, hit him up, top, hit him up top, set a precedent,

I'll hop grease some two or three bucks. I think.

Uh.

And then now, like when you go to get fast food or a barista or coffee, Yeah, there's time, Like, especially if I'm getting it to go, I don't.

Leave a tip. It's like for what Yeah, absolutely not.

The single is dead to me. Five dollars is where you're starting. For me, you got to start at a five dollar tip.

But does somebody at like Jersey Mike's deserve a five dollars tip?

Well, they're working harder, I would say than somebody at McDonald's.

Well I think, isn't the tip option there at McDonald's too, don't I don't think so.

No, no, But I would say Jersey, the tip jug has made its way to many a place now. It's basically everywhere. I will say many places. I always do it. And sometimes you want to make sure that I like to make sure they see I'm tipping. So like at the car wash, you know there's just that box, there's a box on the side. I'll be like, good job, guys, put it in like that loud, and I make sure my contact this is me tipping a tenor yeah, right

Boom, car wash, aps, what you got to go?

I washed there and that's just a box out of nowhere, and you want to let people know you're doing it, so they go, they wash, they take care of the wheels.

Yogurt food to go a coffee. Fuck that. I'm not into that at all. I don't like that.

I'm I tip. I do tip a lot, and I will a lot meaning often, and I will say I do it just because I feel like, first of all, I always have cash in my pocket. I come from a world where it's always good to have cash in your pocket. A lot of people don't do that. A lot of people have cash in their pocket. So I'll peel off a five spot and drop it in. I love to make I love to make a scene about it for the jokes, Like every time we check it out,

Doing, you're also doing a kind gesture gesture but also self serving.

I want to get upgraded to that corner suite. Could hit a button and it's the same thing, they'll do it for you. But it's also just because I know how people work hard, and I've always come from you know, I've come from a place of not having money. Now I'm lucky enough to have a little bit in my pocket. I like to share the wealth. But also it's it's for me, it's the entertainment. I'll always do this, I always do and Sally used to hate it. I'd be like, who broke him off? Do we break this guy off?

We were there the last table.

We were the last table.

If you're the last three tables, it's the end of the night. You gotta tip. You gotta tip more than thirty. Absolutely, we were there late.

They gave us lots lots of food on the bronch. They were like, oh, this is for you, this is this is bubble law. And then that doesn't go in there. But the service still this still.

Yeah, is another one.

Dandink think. Let me get those shink think doing a five courser and here we are. They only get paid for a three courser. You're not going to do that. That's all the bill show. So if you do ten percent of that, twenty percent of that, it's not reflective of the work they've done. So I go in deep in a pock, dig that out I go on, tell me when to stop, tell me whant to stop. That's what I do. And that was, that was and that was worth every penny because it was a good really

Well, you're look, you're a national treasure, a national treasure.

So you're dining experiences for the most part, are a little different. You're getting hooked up quite often, I think for the average person. Look, being a bartender is a rough job. Being a waiter is tough, and you're not just like though, the tip to the waiter is not just to the waiter, it's.

To the bus boy. Yeah.

Sometimes the kitchen staff they pull it with uh, the folks in the dish tank. So it's like that tip sometimes I would say fifty to sixty percent of the time is getting pulled out.

Yeah, so they don't keep it with that in mind. Yeah, I will say this too, though, you have your means everybody's got a job, everybody's working for money. You could tip what you can tip. You know, you don't have to go put yourself out to help. If you do a gesture and you do what you could do, there's no percentage. For me, It's like, okay, what what could you do? Is where it comes from, you know. So that's a big part of it too. But I tip. I I do like to tip everybody that that I

If you have the slightest uh like modicum of of like being a decent server, you'll get a good tip, yeah, from from either of us if you're if you go the extra yard. I think that's where it's just like absolutely yeah, because I know how hard that.

Because then also people at the table will also okay, no, not not Rex, not t Rex. We should we should not not not too short arms. That's Jiggy's podcast, two short arms. He's trying to get in his wallet.

When I heard when when Gary Coleman past he gave his arms to Jui, Oh god.

I love it. I will say. The other thing too, is the time to tip is very important because.

You just look at Jiggy the whole time we do this podcast.

Yeah, so the time tipping, there's this question from him. I think, yeah, well.

No, he's like I got the answer. Very different podcasts. We went on for what what's the clock? At fifteen minutes ish? About tipping? He would have been like, nah, Ashley right, that's where he would have been. That would have been him on two short.

Arms, even if he even if he was in a canoe, he wouldn't tip for sure.

Nice, well done.

Oh well, I'll give this one. He was a cow.

Here's one that that I run into. Necessary necessary things you need. Perfect example is the hotel shuttle to the airport. That's always a tough one for me. Do you tip that guy or not?

Or the rental car pickup guy if he gets off the rental car bus and he helps people.

With their bags, I do you gotta give him a bucker TiO.

I get him a bucker ti Yeah, what.

If he doesn't touch the bags?

I feel like that's the common thing you get in those shuttle buses' is just driving.

I don't know that's his job.

Oh my god, can I tell you what happened to me?

Please? This is bananas, butsers this.

Is B A N A N A N A. So I'm at A L A X.

I get I I I I finished doing this. This this gig okay. And I'm running to the airport because LA actually never know. It's a crap shoot. So I rented a car, drop off the rental car, get on the Hurts rental shuttle, and I'm going to UH Southwest Terminal one. I get off, grab my bag, go through security, and I'm like, you know, I'm wearing this dress shirt all day. I want to put on my T shirt when I fly. Wrong bag, wrong bag, I grab the wrong shoe case.

Wow, and I'm going.

It's gone. And now I'm like, oh my god.

I hope to God somebody else on the on the rental thing realizes this. B I got a call Hurts. See, I'm supposed to go to Vegas. I'm not going to Vegas now because because I'm not making my flight, because I got to get my bag back and get whoever's bag this is that I'm back to that individual. So I'm sitting there cold panic name on the tag or the no name on the tag, and I didn't want to open it either, and I'm just sitting there and I'm calling Hurts at LAX automated thing.

I go, God damn.

And while I'm making the phone call and I walk out of security, I remember LAX is shaped like you. Southwest is the first gate, United's the seventh. Now if I can just get out and run across, I can catch I can catch the HURTS thing.

I get out, I run over it again.

Run. It's like eighty degrees on the tarmac.

I wish I had that day.

Get over there. And as I get over there, our Hurts is pulling up. Mike.

There could be six or seven of these, I don't know, and I go, I go, hold on, hold on, hold on. And as the guy's pulling up to the rental car thing where I happen to run right.

To the spot. Thank god, it's right there.

I see there's one bag left on the thing, and a guy grabs a bag and comes off. I go, oh my god, sir, I grabbed your bag. He goes, what I go, I grabbed your bag. I'm drenched in sweat. He goes, where did you come from? I go Southwest.

I just ran over here.

We switched bags and he's like, oh my God, it's this same exact bag.

The chances of that astro believe it.

So I told my wife, as you know, you gotta I like, I can tell somebody. So I told my wife worst case scenario turned into best case scenario. But it never happens if I'm not an absolute dipshit, right, it's all of my own making.

I did it.

I'm such an idiot. I should have looked and made sure. But it was literally the exact same bag.

But you you made the mistake, then corrected the mistake. Thought I thought I had to do it, but you put yourself in that own situation. That wouldn't happen if you're just like, this is my bag. Yeah, but you're exactly. You probably had a couple of woo woos. No no, no, no no after the.

Giggis was during the day, and I literally, okay, what else your honor?

But then I literally ran to Southwest and did you make a flight to Vegas? Made barely made my flight drenched in sweat, by the way, that's amazing crazy, But again it's so it's all because I'm an actual did you tip the drive?

All right?

So thank you Warren for that, uh great question. And bringing up a haunting memory for me. Okay saying it's coming to from Michael, mister motorcycle, I'm looking to regularly tune into this podcast.

I have no idea. I think he's having a stroke pre show rituals.

But also he wants you to make a documentary. Oh that's because the joke I always make that you watch documentaries all the time. Got it. Okay. So now do we have any pre show rituals? I feel like you disappear for a minute.

I the only ritual I have is in a perfect world, if the show is at seven, right, and I go on at seven thirty five, I would show up at seven thirty four. That'd be my my perfect that that is my that would be my pre show ritual. I don't want to do anything other than just like enjoy my day. And then it's like all right, show up and walk in the door and it's like ladies and gentlemen, Steve.

It's like, wow, it's perfect.

Yeah, that's that's like best case scenario. But in terms of rituals, I don't.

I don't have any cup of coffee iron my shirt. Yeah, a cup of coffee, iron my shirt. I think that's my pre show ritual pretty much. That's what I do. I'll get a cup of coffee, yeah, and I'll iron my shirt and then I'll be like ready to go. I'll feel fresh and pressed, nice and caffeinated. Okay, just to get this right, press my coffee, drink my shirt.

Got it in what order?

First I drink the shirt and then I pressed the coffee. Got it French press coffee.

Yeah, I I normally I've been doing this thing that like when we have a bus, I'm kind of like in my comfy pants of the latest moment I could be in.

And there'll be a lot of times when Jiggy gets up there and he's doing his yuck yucks and laugh them ups and he has a big closer and I can hear him warmed himself up for it, and his voice changes a lot, and I hear that tone. I'm like, it's like a dog whistles like you gotta get dressed, bitch. Like I'm like, oh shit, and I'll realize what bit that's how he's going into And there has been times where I've been shaving as he's oh Jesus, as he's

Yeah, do you listen to.

Music, I'll listen to music, or like if I there's like a you know, some new monologue jokes whatever, but don't forget to do this that one.

So if I like ever, like when I'm backstage, with you guys.

I'll just pace for a minute or two, and I'm like, Okay, don't forget to do this one, and that joke goes here yep, and the wording is da da da da.

But then it all goes out the window when you walk out there and you start your crowd work and you find somebody, right, it all goes great.

I love that.

And then the great thing about your show is that is that there's so many like, you know, kids, teenagers sometimes twelve or thirteen, and so I think what the audience responds to, at least from my perspective, as I'm coming out a little like you know, like almost like

So that becomes a lot of fun.

Do you listen to Jiggy when he goes on all right? No, no, no, when I because you don't want to put yourself in a bad mood before you get to take.

This tired, exhaust so tired.

You want to put yourself for it. You want to put yourself in the in the mindset of the audience of like, oh my god, I just want this to end. Well.

The good news is that when when people come, people come to your show and and they love when Jiggy's on the show opening for you, especially because they get it too. For one, they get a comedy show and

Have to work, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But we have that like your thing where like as soon as he's coming off, you just know, and then I'll come off and we both immediately say the same thing. Whether it's like oh that was a little work, we both always I would say one hundred percent of the time. We both always sit on the same page until Joey Bang Bangs goes.

But when I come up, it's tippy tippy pause, tip pause.

Okay, it's coming us from m J.

MJ.

Hi.

Your Mommy's love you both so much. You make me laugh every week and I always look forward to the podcast. Amusement parks throw rides Hell, yeah or no way. I love them, but my kids are leery. We live in Pittsburgh by Kennywood Love. Oh it's mo so mosas love. But uh but yeah, that that's when you go to amusement park with kids. That's a tough yeah, because you you wonder how how far do you push it?

Yeah, you're gonna have fun, just relax. Has to make them get on it. You have to make them get on to see if they hate it or love it. Yeah, any kid would probably be afraid of it. Like my daughter though take so it loves it. My son hates it, but when we get him on stuff will eventually. Like he wanted to go in the first wheel but it was too high, and we went on it. He absolutely loved it and it was Yeah, but we had to talk him into going on it. But then there's another ride.

One of the best lines.

Yeah, it's it's it's nutty to do that. I find that's the hardest part. One of the hardest parts of parenting is knowing that line of like pushing and coddling.

Right, yeah, my son is the same, it's the same dynamic. My daughter's gung ho. My son's a lot more apprehensive about things. But once he does it, and so that becomes the precedent of like, well, remember this and you did it and you were really nervous, but you had fun. Right, So what I do now is I just don't push it. I'm like, all right, you either want to do.

It or you don't.

Yeah, I don't care, because eventually he's going to be ten or eleven and he'll want to do it.

So it's fine. My daughter is an absolute daredel will never really worried about her. I did have one experience with her though, that was really traumatic for me, as well, we did a you know those ropes courses where you click in, Yeah, right, you do that. So there was this outdoor one somewhere out on Long Island. We were somewhere and she really wanted to do it, and I said, okay,

You can't move to go first, So first of all I.

Should have been for and the guy I didn't even realize it, and he clicks her in so she has to go, and she's scared to death of this part because she can't. It's the highest part of it. There's only one route to go, and you have to go up this rope thing and you have to hold the top rope, and she can't reach the top rope. So I'm like all right. She's like what do I do? And I'm like all right. I said, well, you're good at balancing. Just balance hold your thing that's dangling, and

To help her.

And you're stuck, and I'm stuck and behind her, behind you, and.

My god, those people don't get some people.

You fucking shut up, Like, my daughter is scared death. I've ship I dare you to say, go, I'll throw you off this thing. So my daughter like, I'm really And we were at the top and there's only one route up and then you have to go back down. So she was screaming crying, and I was like, oh my god. I was like I felt so helpless. And when we were off sh she just wanted to be held. And I was like, I am the worst parent in

Remember we went cave exploring my kids.

Is that but not down? The not down?

The rope is spurlunk no no splunking, as you're going into a dark, cavernous void and you don't know what's on the inside.

That's what people call jiggy show it.

With t W. That's also his wallet no tips allowed.

Yeah, but but my kids were in front of me, and there's parts where you got to like, you get really clustrophobic, and that's like one of my biggest fears. But my thank god my kids were in front of me. I had the opposite. My kids were in front of me.

They were if I was the first one, but you can't turn around.

Yeah, I would have been nervous. Then they would have been nervous. You have a ripple effect, right, and then my son probably would have been scared. But he was like this is awesome, and he's just zipping through it. I'm like, oh, thank god, I see like these little feet in front of him, and I could just like, but I mean, have you ever done I know you did for the for the movie, but to actually like fall through that stuff, well.

That was cool the cave because it was freaky as ship because I had to hide, so I had to They they're like, no, you just got through the here right, complete dark and I'm in full makeup and they're like, they're like, the guy goes to me, the guy goes to me, and the so in the movie, I played a cave, especially how you look to it. I have two great stories about this, just two great stories about this.

I just gotta sit here by myself in the dark.

I mean, that is so crazy.

Waiting for the crowd to come. And they're calling off groups that aren't good groups like this in a good group, don't do it. Wait wait, wait, and I'm sitting there waiting there. So I'm sitting there, crouch crouched a tiger hidden fatto like this right, So turn the turner there I am.

Look, so they turned, they turn in the corners, just sitting there in the dark.

But wait, let me tell you. So here's the whole thing with with it. There's a there's a path that they go on. This isn't a spelunking. This is a cave tour. Okay, just on the bef that is so good. The graphic t we spoke of it. So the thing is that the cave we did it, and it wasn't a spelunking cave. It was a cave tour. It's a paved thing. What I did was plunking because I had to hide in it. So the guy goes, Okay, to get to where you have to go, you have to

No.

So there's this guy sees me coming in and he goes hey, hey, hey, and I turned I looking at him, and he goes hey. He goes hey, hey, hey hey, and I go no, no, no, wa're filming here. And he calls it and he's like, there's a guy. There's a guy here. I go tell him, go to him, Tell him on the beef, Tell tell on the beef. So the guys are and they're like, no, no, no, Phil, they're filming because oh nobody told me. What a moment for that guy to see a gray human being. Yeah,
