Rob: Empanadas?
Glenn: Empanadas, yeah. It was an empanada place.
Rob: It was?
Charlie: Oh, yeah. I'm positive.
Rob: Well, either way-
Glenn: [crosstalk]
Rob: -it was a-- it was a working restaurant.
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: And I remember that we never ever were able to ask them like to buy out the-the-
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: -restaurant. So-- The-- And they would-- The-the owner, whoever, the general manager, wouldn't tell the staff like to stop cooking or what was happening.
Charlie: "Do not stop making empanadas. I-I implore you, no matter what happens today, keep your head down, get those empanadas made. All right? Don't stop, okay."
Rob: Things are gonna be--
Charlie: "There might be some people coming in and out, they might be behaving weirdly, don't look at them, don't acknowledge them."
Glenn: "Just make empanadas."
Charlie: "For the love of God, make empanadas. God forbid, a cop walks in here, and we're not making that empanadas, and they-- this whole thing goes to shit, you know?" 'Cause ain't nobody buying these empanadas. It's all front.
Glenn: It's what's inside the empanadas, you know-
Charlie: You know, when--
Glenn: -if you know what I mean?
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Well, yeah. So we would have access to it, and the door would open, and we would go in. And generally it would be li-like us bursting out the door 'cause-
Charlie: Yeah. Yeah.
Rob: -we didn't wanna see in. But there would be times between-- Like when-when-- before we would roll and then like you'd be inside this restaurant where they're making empanadas.
Charlie: Yeah.
Glenn: Preparing to do-- Have you do your exit.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: And there's like a guy--
Rob: [crosstalk] And you'd have a radio, and they're like, "Okay, action." And you're like, "Did he say action? I don't know. Did he say action?" 'Cause they're blasting music, it's like-- [crosstalk]
Charlie: [makes sound] You know, you're-
Glenn: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Charlie: -bursting out.
Glenn: Yeah. That's right.
Rob: And the guys, like, they wouldn't even really even look at us. It was j--
Charlie: No.
Glenn: They couldn't care less.
Rob: There was something going on in there, right? And maybe there was. They were filling those empanadas with some--
Charlie: I-I-I think that's a funny little thing about this business where that happens a lot. Like, you go on a location scout or something and you're like walking through like a weird kitchen of a working place, and it's you and a team of people. And then-- No one ever tells the people working there. They don't ever shut it down. Like maybe usually like a big movie will buy the place out for a while. But most places are like, "No, keep the empanadas going. Will be in and out. We just need your doorway." That's a weird thing.
Rob: It just happened this year. We-we were shooting the scene where you and I were walking down the street in Dublin. And, um, we were doubling it with another street. And-and they just didn't lock it down at all. So every time we would go back to our starting point, there would be like some guy that would come up and be like, "Hey, Mac and Charlie." We'd be like, "Hey, bud." And he's like, "Hey, can I take a photo?" We're like, "Sure. There's no-- But we're in the middle of a scene. Like, uh-
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: -all good, like, no problem." But is there any lockdown? Is there any security? Is there--
Glenn: Well, this is something you've been bitching about for years. You're always like--
Rob: I don't--
Glenn: You're always like-- we-we talk to the locations people.
Rob: Yes.
Glenn: We're like, "Can we lock this street down? We need to lock the street down." They're like, uh-- they won't let us do it.
Rob: You just can't do it.
Glenn: You can't do it.
Rob: LA-LA County will not let you lock down a city street.
Glenn: And think of a number--
Rob: And I'm like, "Fuck you. I've seen Jerry Bruckheimer-
Glenn: Yes.
Rob: -movies where they're blowing cars up and people up and helicopters up in the middle of the street."
Charlie: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rob: Are you telling me--
Rob: [crosstalk] they didn't lock that down?"
Glenn: Yeah. There's just- there's this like some guy driving by in his Honda Civic, right, is that transformer's blowing up?
Rob: And then their answer is, "Well, oh well, no. Yeah, you can do it."
Charlie: Yeah, for the right price.
Rob: You just said you-- we can't do it.
Charlie: Well, you can't do it.
Glenn: "No, sorry. What I meant is you can't do it."
Charlie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Rob: "Sorry. Is your last name Bruckheimer?"
Charlie: Yeah, yeah.
Rob: No, but it's equally difficult to pronounce.
[laughter]
[music]
Charlie: What park was that where we had chained, uh, what's that actor's name, to the tree, who's very funny.
Rob: God, he-he was great, and he was great in it.
Glenn: Yeah. I don't remember what park that was. Uh--
Rob: I think it was a park in [unintelligible 00:40:41]
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Um--
Charlie: That when you're cutting over towards the airport?
Rob: Yes.
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Yes.
Charlie: We shot there a couple times.
Rob: We have shot there couple times.
Charlie: Danny being stuck in a coil.
Rob: Yeah, yeah.
Megan: Todd Grinnell.
Charlie: Todd Grinnell.
Rob: Todd Grinnell.
Charlie: Great.
Glenn: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Of course, Todd Grinnell.
Rob: God, he was- he was great. And our friend Isaac played Mountain.
Charlie: Oh, he's great.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Isn't he great?
Rob: Yeah.
Charlie: He's so great in it.
Glenn: He's-- There's another guy, who was al-- I was always like, "I think he-- Why is he not an actor?"
Rob: He's a prop-- he's prop master.
Glenn: I know he's a prop master, but he's also a director.
Charlie: You know, sometimes when you're not an actor, it's just-- you're better. It's that- it's that weird thing about like the person just is the person, and it's interesting to watch.
Rob: Jackie Tohn.
Glenn: Yeah, Jackie Tohn, yeah. She was great.
Rob: Was she on American Idol?
Charlie: She's gone on to do some other--
Rob: Yeah, well, she act as well, but I-I think--
Glenn: Oh, she a singer.
Rob: She was a singer, right?
Glenn: Yeah, she's a singer and a musician.
Rob: I think she was on like America's Got Talent or-
Glenn: Yeah, she [crosstalk]
Rob: -she was on American Idol maybe. I think she was on American Idol.
Glenn: I think you're right.
Charlie: Danny Hill was, uh-
Megan: American Idol, yeah.
Charlie: -Mary Elizabeth's friend who plays the guy, the tanning bed.
Glenn: Oh, the [unintelligible 00:41:35]?
Rob: Yeah, yeah. I-I hear that- I hear that often just-to-get-a-base people.
Glenn: Just to get a base.
Rob: [crosstalk]
Charlie: Just to get a base. [crosstalk]
Glenn: Yeah. There's that-- I always found that very, very funny.
Rob: Well, I-- We don't need a full tan.
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: We just need to lay the base layer down.
Charlie: You guys, you don't tan, right? You don't--
Glenn: Who, me?
Charlie: Yeah.
Glenn: Do I look like I tan?
Charlie: No, I know you don't tan.
Rob: No.
Charlie: You might go-- You don't go outta your way to tan, right?
Rob: No, no, no. This-this-
Charlie: No, come on.
Rob: -this skin is not--
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Made to tan.
Rob: Not made to tan.
Charlie: Yeah. Pretty crazy thing to go into a tanning booth and just like--
Rob: Cook me.
Charlie: Cook your cells.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Yeah.
Charlie: Because for whatever reason--
Glenn: I was always tempted to do it when I was single 'cause-
Charlie: [crosstalk]
Glenn: -I was always like, "I'm so pale." Like, if I could just get a little bass and keep it.
Charlie: Yeah, sure.
Glenn: You know what I mean?
Charlie: Yeah, right.
Glenn: I don't need to be like, you know-
Charlie: Orange.
Glenn: -orange or-or even fully brown. I just need to be like a li-- I just need to be like I've spent a little bit of time in the sun. You know what I mean? [crosstalk]
Charlie: Well, why not just puff that shirt off when you go pull little basketball?
Rob: Well, yeah--
Charlie: Well, no, I'll do- I will do that. I do do that, yeah.
Rob: Glenn's-- But Glenn's-- And rightfully so, but you started earlier than most of us when we would go to the beach together when we lived in Venice and, uh-
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: -Marina del Rey. And I would show up and, uh, and you would- you would look purple.
Glenn: I know.
Rob: You had so much sunblock on.
Glenn: Yeah. Yeah.
Rob: It was a very weird shade of purple.
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: That the-- 'Cause it would be like a very specific kind of sunblock.
Glenn: What's that-- it's that mineral sunscreen, right?
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: That goes on and it just looks like a- like a thin of white then it-- and it for me in my skin, it turns me purple.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: I do- I don't [crosstalk]
Rob: [crosstalk] "Now, this-this dude's hardcore and he's not--"
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: He was not-- But it was great.
Glenn: [crosstalk]
Charlie: [crosstalk]
Rob: I mean, it pro-protected you from the sun.
[laughter]
Charlie: He's there.
Glenn: Yeah, that guy looks like he's very cold.
Charlie: He's choking.
Glenn: He's oxygen deprived.
Charlie: Yeah.
Glenn: Uh, yeah. Yeah. I know that.
Rob: Yeah. So you don't wanna get the-- I mean, I've had enough things lopped off my skin from s- from sun damage. I mean-
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: -when I was a kid- when I was a kid we would go to the beach, and-and there was no sunblock. My mother used to spray us with vinegar.
Glenn: Yeah, to get- to get you dark.
Rob: Yeah. Well, it was to keep away the flies.
Charlie: That is the-the-the-- Yeah. That is the funniest thing, picturing these like-
Glenn: A what?
Charlie: McElhenney kids just reeking of vinegar. Imagine you're coming over to a kid like, "Hey, will you- will you guys wanna play, uh, frisbee or something?" And some of them be like, "Oh God." [crosstalk]
Glenn: Jesus Christ.
Charlie: My eyes are watering trying to talk to this kid.
Glenn: "Shit, man, how much fish and chips did you have?"
Charlie: "What the fuck are you? Uh, this guy smells like a fucking salad."
[laugher]
Charlie: [unintelligible 00:44:01]
Rob: Crazy. Crazy. Even worse than that like--
Charlie: And act like the second you go in the water that vinegars off.
Rob: Yeah. No, but when you came out, she had more of it. She just wax you-- She would wax you down.
Charlie: "Watch out for mom, she's got the vinegar. She's gonna blast me."
Rob: It's all-- And I even look-- And now I ask her like, "Why-why-why was I sprayed down with vinegar?" It's-- And I'm like, "Do you think that they'd helped to engage the sun in some way?" And she was like, "Uh, it's an--" By the way, it's- it's still unclear 100%.
Charlie: She's like, "Honey, I was loaded. I'm so sorry."
Rob: Yeah, yeah, she was-- Oh, oh, 100%. That's-that's-that-- No doubt. We would go down there with her and her sisters and her friends.
Charlie: Yeah, why vinegar?
Rob: We look like Parcheesi.
Charlie: What the fuck is that?
Glenn: [crosstalk]
Rob: Because in Jersey, they had these like horseflies that would bite you.
Glenn: Oh, yeah.
Rob: And I think it was like to keep the--
Charlie: They don't like the vinegar.
Rob: They don't like the vinegar, so it keeps the f- the flies away from you, but no--
[laughter]
Rob: We know so m--
Charlie: A lot of kids covered in vinegar and flies.
[laughter]
Charlie: "You know those kids, they're from Philly." "Yeah, they're sprinkled with vinegar. They always got flies."
[laughter]
Rob: And we-we-- She also loved-- For some reason, she loved the look of those like- of like those like swimmer like-like in the European look.
Glenn: Oh, no.
Rob: Like, they look like underwear, right?
Glenn: They put those on you?
Rob: Okay. Yes.
Glenn: Oh, dude.
Rob: Yes, like a swimmer, like a swimmer.
Charlie: God help you.
Rob: She love that look, right. And we were too young, but I was old enough. I was probably like nine.
Glenn: Oh, God. [crosstalk]
Rob: You know, 9 or-- 8 or 9 or 10.
Charlie: Yeah, yeah.
Rob: And she was like, "You just look so cute in these." And meanwhile, like-- You know, and maybe at like six, you don't care. But by the time you hit like 10 you're like, "My dick is tiny." And it looks so bad.
Glenn: Yeah, it looks so much smaller in this.
Rob: Yeah, like I-- Yeah, and so now I'm wearing-- [laughs]
Charlie: God only knows how it's reacting to the vinegar, too.
Rob: Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Charlie: [crosstalk]
Glenn: Yeah, like a slu-
Charlie: Like it's a [unintelligible 00:45:45]
Glenn: -like a slug.
Charlie: -or something, you know.
[laughter]
Glenn: Yeah. That's-- that is so weird.
Rob: Oh, yeah.
Glenn: Like I mean, I grew up in the south a lot, a lot of horseflies.
Rob: I had nothing but good memories, though. Like I just-- I remember it-
Glenn: Right.
Charlie: So you didn't care.
Rob: Really fun-- No, I did- I did remember caring once, like 10 or 11. I remember there being like a group of kids and me always having my hands over my dick. And then my cousin being like, "Look, man, there's no hiding. There's no hiding. You gotta get a new suit. You just gotta get a new suit." And I was like, "All right."
Glenn: I'd say-- So 11 years old, you were still wearing like the European, uh--
Rob: Maybe 10, yeah. Like I-I'll get some f-- I'll get some photos 'cause we have some photos. I look happy in the photos. [crosstalk]
Glenn: I do really enjoy when I see, uh-- it's always like a-an older gentleman. It's always a man like, yeah, well into his 60s or above. You know, and those guys are just like, "I don't give a fuck. This is what I like.'
Rob: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Glenn: "This is what I wanna wear. This is what I like. This is what makes me comfortable, and I don't care how it makes you feel."
Rob: Well, I tell you what, I was tan as shit. Like as far as-as as Irish-
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: -skin that I have, I was like-- 'Cause we would be out there on the beach every day covered in vinegar with no clothing- with no clothing on. I was so tan. The photos you see of me, I'm like, "This is crazy." I look so, so dark.
Glenn: How does- how does the vinegar affect the sun? Does it- does it make you get more sun or does it actually block the sun?
Rob: Well, I think she-- from her, uh, point of view, I think it did has-- No, no, it didn't block the sun. I think it was like an o-- Well, it had the same properties as a baby oil.
Glenn: That's what I'm saying so it enhanced the--
Rob: I-I believe so, yeah.
Glenn: Ah.
Rob: Like, she wanted us tan.
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: Right. ot-- uh, uh, just because that was a healthy look, you know.
Glenn: Right, right. Well, my-
Charlie: Mm-hmm.
Glenn: -my ba-- I want my kids to look healthy.
Rob: Yeah. Yeah.
Glenn: Spray them in vinegar-
Charlie: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Glenn: - and get them out there.
Charlie: Yeah, I want this kid to--
Glenn: And if he's covered in horsefly bumps-
Charlie: Yeah.
Glenn: -then that negates the whole thing.
Charlie: Sure, yeah.
Rob: I'll-I'll dig up some photos.
Charlie: Yeah, I want them to resemble a French fry, you know what I mean, it's just like golden brown vinegar.
Rob: I think I look pretty good, if I'm being honest. I mean, my-- I look like, you know-- My Dick didn't look great, uh, when I was--
Charlie: Mm-hmm.
Rob: I was a little kid. I don't know if you should be looking at little kid's dick anyway. But like I think my-my body looked, uh--
[laughter]
Rob: I was tan as shit.
Charlie: Guess so.
Rob: I was tan.
Glenn: Yeah. I guess so.
Charlie: Um, but a percentage of people are gonna try the vinegar thing now. They're like, "Oh, you were really tan? I'm gonna try the of vinegar."
Glenn: Listen, I grew up in Alabama where we had a-a shitload of horseflies and nobody ever sprayed me in vinegar. Nobody ever suggested spraying, you know, me down.
Rob: It could have been to fuck with us, I don't know. It could have been to be like, "Look, we gotta toughen this kid up."
Glenn: Right.
Rob: "So we gotta get him out there and like having kids pick at him, so he can, I don't know, get the--"
Glenn: So he can spend the rest of his life overcompensating.
Rob: Yes.
Charlie: It's a bizarre move one way or the other.
Rob: Yeah, yes. Just-just to spray yourself in vinegar is very strange.
Charlie: Yeah. [crosstalk]
Rob: We used to- we used to have my mom on the podcast and have her answer for it.
Glenn: And she'll be like, "I don't remember any of that."
Charlie: "Oh, I don't know. You're supposed to get vinegar all over. I don't know. It's what you do."
[laughter]
Charlie: "Oh, stop, Rob. You loved it."
Glenn: When-when, uh-- when did your mom and Mary get together? How old were you?
Rob: Oh, uh, I-I-- Very young. 9, 10, something like that.
Glenn: Oh, okay.
Rob: Yeah. For they've been together for long.
Glenn: So she was involved in the vinegar.
Rob: Well, it depends on who you ask.
Glenn: These were- these-these were nurses by the way.
Rob: Yes. Well, my-- Uh, Mary was not a nurse. Uh, my mother was a- my-my mother was a nurse.
Glenn: Oh. I thought Mary was also a nurse.
Rob: Well, actually at this point, my mother- my mother was not a nurse, she was in nursing school.
Glenn: Ah.
Rob: She was, uh-- She had just transitioned from, um, a pyramid scheme salesman into-- She-she was one of those like-- We had this thing called Shaklee.
Glenn: No, I don't know what that is.
Rob: Which is basically Nutra-NutraLife or-or Amway, like it's in that so-
Glenn: Yeah. It's like supplement.
Rob: It's like vitamin. Yeah, supplements-
Glenn: Yeah. Yeah.
Rob: -and vitamins and whatever. And I just remember they were-- there was like Shaklee pills everywhere. I mean, she was- she's a go-getter. Like, she was like a entrepreneur.
Glenn: Yeah.
Rob: And was like, "I'm gonna- I'm gonna- I'm gonna get a-- I'm gonna become a part of this thing and I'm gonna sell. I'm gonna be the best Shaklee-
Glenn: "I'm gonna get to the top of this pyramid."
Rob: -salesman in all of Philadelphia," yeah. And then I just-- I don't think anybody bought them in South Philly there.
Glenn: Oh.
Rob: No.
Charlie: That's the thing about the pyramid scheme. It's about selling to the person who's gonna sell.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Yeah, you're constantly trying to offload it not to the customer, but to the person who's gonna be under you.
Charlie: To a new salesman.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Yeah.
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: We address that on the show as well.
Charlie: Yeah. Oh, yeah. We hit it all.
Glenn: God, we've done everything, haven't we?
Rob: We haven't done vinegar. I mean, maybe we can do a thing about vinegar, I don't know.
Glenn: Uh, Megan, can you jot that down just so we don't forget for Season 16, we wanna do a vinegar episode.
Rob: Yeah. Maybe we should look into vinegar as a sponsor. What are the popular vinegars that are- that are out there?
Glenn: Well, there's, uh--
Charlie: I tell you, I'm a big fan of salt and vinegar chip. I mean, come on.
Glenn: Oh, buddy. I will go nuts on salt and vinegar bag of chips, man.
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Yeah.
Charlie: Probably-probably the best.-
Rob: I bet you my skin tasted like salt and vinegar chips.
Glenn: Right.
Charlie: No, I'm sure it's salty.
Glenn: 'Cause we saw that, yeah.
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: It's salty, it's vinegar-
Charlie: Helps you from sweating and--
Rob: -and sun, it's baking-
Charlie: Uh-huh.
Rob: -it's baking into the-- Interesting.
Glenn: So maybe-maybe you smelled great. Maybe you smelled like a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips.
Rob: Oh, they don't smell good though.
Glenn: No, they don't.
Rob: They don't.
Glenn: No.
Charlie: So, um, vinegar chips don't smell good?
Glenn: Well--
Rob: Not to me. I-I don't like the--
Charlie: I like it.
Glenn: Yeah. What?
Rob: [crosstalk]
Glenn: And it's [crosstalk]-- it doesn't stop me fr-from eating them.
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Well, maybe we would have been friends when-when-when we were kids.
Glenn: What do you think?
Rob: You'd be like," I accept you."
Glenn: Would you- would you've accepted vinegar kid? I doubt it.
Charlie: I might've been thrown off by the speedo.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: More than the vinegar?
Charlie: Well, then once I got close, then the vinegar would've just overpowered.
Glenn: Right. You-you see this speedo and you're like, "Ah, I'm gonna give this kid a shot."
Charlie: I don't know.
Glenn: It's like, "I'm gonna give him a shot," they get closer and he also smells like vinegar, it's like, "That's-that's too many things."
Charlie: This is too much.
Glenn: That's too many things.
Charlie: This is too much.
Glenn: You know, to have that on and smell like vinegar. that's--
Charlie: No, I don't recall any speedos in New England. I don't ever remember seeing-- [crosstalk]
Glenn: [crosstalk] gold.
Rob: I don't recall any speedos in Jersey other than us.
Charlie: [laughs] So it's just you.
Rob: So it was just the McElhenneys. So McElhenney-
Charlie: God help you.
Rob: -just Pat, me and--Pat-Patrick and I. Yeah, I was a--
Charlie: You know, I'm not a fan of is the thong. Like, uh, on the beach, like-like the thong is very popular.
Glenn: Mm-hmm.
Rob: Mm-hmm.
Charlie: Man, I don't- I don't know, it's-- I don't like the look.
Rob: You like a little mystery.
Glenn: Yeah.
Charlie: It makes it look like a rhino's butt to me.
Glenn: [crosstalk]
Charlie: You know what I mean? Like-- it's like-like it-like it makes--
Glenn: Mm-hmm.
Charlie: -the crack look longer than it should be.
Rob: Is there also something to liken how that thing where like-
Charlie: It looks uncomfortable, too.
Rob: -if somebody is scantily clad, it's more attractive than someone is- who's just like completely naked. Do you see-- d-d-d-do you feel that way sometimes?
Glenn: Wait, sa-say-say that again.
Rob: Meaning like-
Charlie: I know what you're saying.
Rob: -when there is a little air of mystery-
Charlie: I know what you're saying.
Rob: -when you're like I can see aspects of your nudity and your body through your clothing, for example, uh, is maybe more attractive than someone who is just like nude.
Glenn: Yes. I-I I agree with that.
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Yeah. I like a little mystery, personally.
Rob: Yeah, Meg, like when you see a juicy dong hanging down somebody's pant, like, is that better than seeing the dong itself?
Glenn: Yeah. Which-- How do you-
Megan: Uh, uh, an adult dong or a 10-year old dong?
Rob: No, no, adu-adult. We're talking adult.
Charlie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Megan: Yeah.
Glenn: How do you like your dongs?
Megan: Yeah. I like-- I don't wanna see any more than half of it.
Glenn: Right.
Charlie: Yeah. Sure.
Glenn: But you don't mind seeing the top.
Megan: Yeah, a little bush.
[laughter]
Glenn: Yeah.
Charlie: Yeah.
Glenn: That makes sense.
Charlie: That's how I feel about the thong, man. It's like-like elephant butt.
Rob: Meg, do you like to see, like, uh- like an outline, like w-would you find the outline of a dick in the pants attractive or just weird?
Megan: Um, I don't find-- it's like-- it's sp-specifically a tool for something. So it's like to me, it's like a plunger. I don't care what it looks like as long as it works.
Glenn: Oh, I see.
Megan: Like, the visual element is not what I like about it.
Charlie: That's right. Yeah, that's right.
Megan: Yeah.
Glenn: That's also-- I've never thought about it that way, but you're totally right.
Rob: [crosstalk]
Megan: But women are generally not as visual.
Glenn: It's a means to an end.
Rob: Right.
Charlie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Glenn: It's a means to an end. Yeah.
Megan: Like if I was-- if a guy was like, "I know how to use a plunger," I'd be like, "Cool." But if he is like, "Look how cool my plunger looks." I'd be like, "I don't give a shit."
Glenn: Yeah. [crosstalk]
Charlie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [crosstalk]
Megan: Can you use it?
Glenn: Can you unclog my toilet?
Charlie: Yeah.
Rob: Yeah.
Megan: Yeah.
Glenn: I don't care how it looks.
Charlie: Yeah, you're on the A-trains 4:30 in the morning, guy opens his trench coat, there's his plunger--
Glenn: Right.
Charlie: You're like, "Buddy, there's not even a toilet on this thing. Why am I looking at your plunger?"
Glenn: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Charlie: "What is this, man?"
Glenn: Right. Right. Right.
Charlie: "What is this?"
Rob: "What kind of train is this?"
Charlie: "What kind of train is this?"
[laughter]
Rob: "You fucking smell-
Charlie: You know, yeah.
Rob: -like vinegar, man."
Rob: I'm gonna dig up some photos.
Glenn: Of-of you as a kid?
Rob: Yeah.
Glenn: Oh, I'd like to see that.
Rob: Uh, Yeah. Cause I'm-I'm-- I just [crosstalk]
Glenn: Could we put those-- do we have a website yet, Megan?
Rob: We have a social media presence.
Charlie: We have, yeah, an Instagram account.
Glenn: What do we do on social media? Let's try--let's try to get-- Teah. See if you can get your hands on some of those photos and let's get those up on the internet.
Rob: Okay.
Glenn: Let's make sure the world sees 'em.
Rob: Great.
