Pineapple Confessions and Havana Dreams

Ever wondered what goes into the perfect bubble waffle or the secret behind a mouth-watering pineapple mango fresca? Join us as we gush over the culinary magic at the Sweet Shack, managed by the ever-impressive Savannah. We swap stories about Pop Pop's legendary pizza crust and the fierce debate over Fuego's tacos versus their fries. Spoiler alert: the fries win! As we navigate some mic troubles, we also let you in on our exciting Havana night plans, complete with LED lights and a pineapple-themed decor, and share a hilarious tangent about the potential mishaps of placing an upside-down pineapple in a shopping cart.

Prepping for a big event is no small feat, and we're laying it all out for you. From setting up LED and string lights to the logistics of balloon arrivals, we cover every detail of our upcoming Friday night bash at the 1933 Lounge. Laugh along with us as we recount the trials and tribulations of transforming the lounge into a dance floor, coordinating bartenders and security, and ensuring our guests get the immersive Havana experience we envision. We sprinkle in some anecdotes from a recent event at Monji Gardens, aiming to recreate that same magical atmosphere.

Finally, we take a nostalgic journey down memory lane with a fun twist—a Havana-themed Halloween bash inspired by the vibrant 1950s era. Imagine costume contests, fruit basket headpieces, and DJing tales that will have you in stitches. As we wrap up, we muse over the impact of media, share personal business updates, and indulge in lighthearted late-night banter. From admiring youthful ambition to dreaming about the future of our podcast, this episode is a celebration of friendship, fun, and a shared passion for creating memorable experiences.

Transcript

Gordy B: 0:06

Welcome to the Queen Bees Podcast and the Gordy Bees Podcast. Let's go, all right, we're live, we're live. What are we going to talk about? I don't know? The Sweet Shack. Let's talk about the Sweet Shack. Savannah Savannah's running the Sweet Shack. Yeah, it was pretty good it was. It was yummy. She has a soft opening going on. Yeah, a pre-soft opening. Yes, yeah, it's not even a soft opening yet, it's a pre-soft opening.

Gordy B: 0:51

What did we order? Bubble waffle, yeah, fresca. Yes, the pineapple mango. It was so yummy and it had like little mango skin in it. Yes, yes, it was so yummy. Yeah.

Gordy B: 1:05

And then we had Pop Pop's pizza. Yes, great crust. Yes, crust was great. It was crunchy but soft on the inside. It was yummy. It was super light. Yes, it wasn't heavy. It wasn't a heavy crust. There was a lot of air in the crust. I think, yeah, if I don't have a thin crust, I have to have that type of crust, because I don't like a lot of bread, you don't.

Gordy B: 1:32

And then we had a few tacos. Yes, those were always good. Fuego's tacos are always good. Fuego's tacos versus Fuego's fries oh, that's a hard one. I love Fuego's fries. I'm going to go with Fuego fries all the time. See, I got to go with Fuego fries too, because I like potatoes, right, I like fries, right.

Gordy B: 2:01

I feel like I'm getting a lot of feedback on your mic. Are you A lot of air? I think it's from the fan. Will you turn the fan off real quick? Yeah, that cord might make it, I don't know. Just don't yank anything off the table.

Gordy B: 2:17

Oh, yeah, I think it's that first one. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, yeah, the first one Girl. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, this first one. Yeah, the first one Girl. You hit the second one. I told you the first. You asked me for the second. Can we turn that TV down too? Oh, okay, let me see, let me just go do that. Oh, do you want me to go ahead and be assertive and say Look, woman, go turn the motherfucking TV down now? Right, I asked, at least I was nice. Yeah, well, well, you were closer, let's go, let's go.

Gordy B: 2:55

So we're probably going to have to do some adjustments on these mics, on these mics. I just have a lot of feedback in my headphones here and I feel like everybody listening to our podcast is going to hear all of this ambient noise. Yeah, I hear it too. It's like a little, almost like a little coffee pot, like that whistle, yeah, it's whistle, yeah, and it's only one in three that are live right now. Me and you and these ones don't matter. That's your headphone volume, okay, so you can adjust number three if you want to. If it's too loud or, yeah, not loud enough, you can adjust it. But but I do hear that, yeah, that kind of sucks. We'll just have to figure that.

Gordy B: 3:57

I seen that video, one of the videos on YouTube, and the guy was went into all these settings in here and started changing like attack and S, the letter S. Apparently it creates a noise or something, s, s and it chops it off, like there's a setting in here to where the S won't carry S. It'll be more crisp, like the other letters, letters. See what I'm talking about. We got all these LED lights for our Havana night Friday. That's going to be a lot of fun. That'll look really pretty on all the tabletops. Yeah, I think so.

Gordy B: 4:50

Bring some color pops. We'll do that. We'll get some up lights and then whatever lights 1933 has working. The color lights yeah. Photo booth we got those string. Pineapple light strings yeah, we got those too. Pineapple light strings, I don't know. Yeah, open that one. I don't know about these. Why? Because I already feel like this whole salsa club is kind of a swinger affair. Stop, I'm telling you, hey, group dancing. Salsa Club is kind of a swinger affair. Stop, I'm telling you, hey, group dancing. How close is group dancing to group fucking Babe? Oh gosh what. It's very classy, if you know that, I know I'm just fucking with them. But pineapples, you know, oh, that's just tropical have been known. We'll make sure we put none of them upside down To be outside some swingers' houses, on some flags, on their little door, but they have to be upside down On their doormat.

Gordy B: 6:00

But look, let me ask you something. What? Me and you go to Winco, yeah, minding our own business. Sure, I decide I want a fucking pineapple, I want some pineapple, right, yeah? So I go grab a pineapple out of the produce section. I set it down in our cart, unbeknownst to me, upside down.

Gordy B: 6:24

You can't put a pineapple upside down unless you do it on purpose. No, how come? Because it leaves. No, you can just toss it in there, it'll sit upside down in something. It will not sit upside down, baby, it'll lay down. If you have a bunch of groceries already in your cart and you toss a pineapple into it, there's a strong likelihood that it would at least be on its side. No, yes, no. Pineapples don't just have buoyancy like a buoy and they just stand up. They will fall over. You know that, right, yeah, okay.

Gordy B: 7:02

So now look, we're minding our own business, me and you, okay, shopping in Winco, doing our thing, picking up food. I decide I want a watermelon, shit A pineapple. I decide I want a pineapple. I toss it in the cart, not paying attention, and it flops over on its side, okay, and then eventually ends up upside down. Sure, right, okay, whatever, what do you mean? Whatever? Listen, it could happen. Okay, okay. And then what?

Gordy B: 7:38

And then somebody starts following us around the grocery store, okay, trying to figure us out, right, like, are these motherfuckers swingers? Okay, did they accidentally put the pineapple in and it fell over and went upside down, until you turn around and say look, motherfucker, why are you following us around? I don't think anybody would be that stupid to follow us around. Okay, okay, okay, now don't get mad at me for this one, okay, but what if it's like a big titty girl? Titties all out, booty all out? You know, just kind of kind of, you know, showing some skin, right? Am I going to turn around and tell that bitch, hey, what the fuck Can I help you? No, I guess that would be you. I mean, if it was a dude I'd be like, hey, motherfucker, can I help you? Okay.

Gordy B: 8:41

And then when you do ask the female or the male, can I help you? What the fuck's your problem? Right, what are you doing? And they say well, you know, I seen you had a pineapple in your cart. I'm like so what?

Gordy B: 8:55

Man Like I don't know, I know nothing about no pineapples. Man Like, if you don't know the. If you're innocent, right, yeah. If you're innocent, right, yeah. If you have no idea that upside down, pineapples mean swinger lingo, right. Then I wouldn't know what the fuck the guy was talking about and I would get irritated, I'd get pissed off.

Gordy B: 9:13

I went with it. Why do you care how? I have my fucking pineapple in my cart? Yeah, are the juices going to fucking go to the bottom or something? And like, no, nothing's going to happen. So you know, a lot of people don't know about the whole swinger thing, right, yeah.

Gordy B: 9:28

And then, how the fuck are we talking about swingers? I don't know, because you have pineapples in your hand. Oh yeah, pineapple lights. I don't have real pineapples, I have pineapple string lights, leds. These are going to be real beautiful out. Yeah, they are Out and about on the railing at 1933. And it'll set a vibe, you know, it'll set a, it'll be nice. Yeah, I hope you know. Hopefully a lot of people show up. But do you know, not only pineapples are in swinger communities. What now, babe?

Gordy B: 10:04

Loofahs, loofahs, loofahs I swear to God, loofahs. And each colored loofah means something else. There's only one colored loofah. What Don't you have loofahs in your bathroom that you wash and scrub with? Oh, that kind of loofah A purple one and a pink one and a blue one and a pink one and a blue one and a green one and a brown one. They come in all kinds of different colors. Well, apparently, okay, what color, babe?

Gordy B: 10:30

How do you know so much about swinging? First of all, listen, motherfucker, I don't swing, first and foremost. You hope not. So I know about swinging because I talk to a lot of people, I have clients. I talk to a lot of people, I have clients. I talk to clients all the time and talk about anything and everything, and probably talked about pineapples at some point. Right, and be like hey, did you know this shit right? Am I the only one that didn't know this? Am I naive, right? And one of my clients told me about loofahs and each loofah.

Gordy B: 11:09

Let's pull this shit up real quick. What are we gonna? Google search Loofah, loofah, swingers. Yeah, hey, right. The first fucking result. It's called the Villages, florida's friendliest hometown. It had to fucking come from florida. You know all the crazy shit happens in florida. Okay, all right. So a white loofah is for novices and beginners. A purple loofah is a voyeur and people who like to watch. I'm not lying, this shit's right here. I'm telling you.

Gordy B: 12:05

A pink loofah is a soft swap People who like to do it with others in the room. That's like full-on swinger, I guess. Like, what's a soft swap? I have no idea. Like only, I will only allow your wife to have sex with me, but you can't, your husband can't, have sex with my wife, right? What is a soft swap, right? I don't know enough about this shit.

Gordy B: 12:27

Blue, lowest level of full swap those who can play well with others. Yellow that's a mid-level swap For those who want to have fun, but still nervous. You know, intrepidation little. I don't know if I want your man touching my balls. Um, black is a full swap. Those who say what the hell, let it all go. They say what the hell, let it all go. They say what the hell, and they do it. That's a black, that's a full swap. Like we're all just fucking. Let your balls touch my balls. I don't care. Like sword swapping and shit Swords crossing. You know your sword, yeah, uh-uh. No sword swaps or no sword crossing. Teal B those who want to increase their dating chances.

Gordy B: 13:32

So if you find yourself in the villages, you will no doubt see lufas attached to cars. This is a friendly guide, so you don't make the same mistake I did. So. I don't know, I didn't click on this, but I guess this person probably has a uh, a story to tell where they went to fucking the villages in florida, wherever the hell that is, and somebody probably seen a loofah on somebody's antenna or something right, oh, and like, picked it up and took it to the door of the house and say, hey, you left your loofah outside. And like, hey, they probably opened the door naked or something right, like some some crazy shit. He probably just grabbed him and said come in here, baby, oh, hell, no, we'd be like screaming help, I'm getting raped by a couple. Oh, stupid man. Oh man.

Gordy B: 14:45

So we have Friday night, 9 pm, havana night with Stephanie and Carlos. Stephanie and Carlos do Just Dance Thursdays. That's their little gig. It's Thursdays, that's like their little gig. And they said they were going to have a salsa singer join us. Yeah, I saw that. So Stephanie explained it. As we are DJing and playing some salsa, some bachata, some merengue, some cumbias, the guy is going to sing along. I guess he probably knows quite a bit of the music pretty well. That'll add a little bit more of an authenticity thing to it. It'll feel real authentic beyond everything that we're already going to do.

Gordy B: 15:43

As far as decorations and LEDs and string lights and all the balloons that you have, when are those coming? The balloons will be here tomorrow, wednesday. Uh-huh, all right, and I have a message debris out to see if we can show up early on Thursday. Yeah, if not, we'll have to early on Thursday. Yeah, if not, we'll have to go early Friday, which is fine. I think that's enough time.

Gordy B: 16:09

How long is it going to take you to knock out balloons? Two hours, probably, a little bit more than that, oh really, yeah, all right. Well, I'll sit there and drink or something. You're going to sit there and help me. I'm not blowing up no balloons, girl. We have a machine. Stop it. No, I'm not doing that either. We have a machine. I have dainty oh, sure you do. I have dainty little. I have dainty skin on my little hands and fingers. You have sausage fingers. You can't tie the balloons. I ain't got no fucking sausage fingers. I ain't fat, what the fuck man. I ain't got no fucking sausage finger. I ain't fat, what the fuck man. I got your goddamn sausage finger right here, girl.

Gordy B: 16:56

So I wonder if I don't know that we're going to have a line of people waiting to arrive to come in, right, but I do think we'll have a constant flow of people coming in post nine o'clock, probably 9.30. I think people will co-institue than that. Oh, really, yeah, just so they can find a seat. Well, if it's anything like last month's or more or better or increased, yeah, that would be a wise idea. They're going to have to come, sit down and get a seat if they want to be able to sit. Yeah, because there's only so much room in the lounge and then a lot of the tables from the middle are going to get moved out to create a quote-unquote dance floor there.

Gordy B: 17:43

Yeah, I think we're going to have two bartenders I talked to Bree and Nate, and one of the other girls, katie or something, I don't remember her name very well. She'll be there. We won't need security, but obviously we'll have security there. They're there by default. They're good to have. We don't want some little kids sneaking in.

Gordy B: 18:14

Yeah, I mean for that portion, right, but as far as the demographic that's going to be there Friday night, it's going to be mature people. It's going to be older, mature or it's going to be there friday night. It's going to be mature people. Yeah, it's going to be older, mature or it's going to be younger and mature and a combination. But mature period, right, they're not going to be. No goofing around, no horseplay, no bullshit. No, no fighting. No, no belligerent drunks and things like that. You know, all of these people are there to dance. They're there to have a good time. They're there to have a couple drinks. Let loose Some good fun.

Gordy B: 18:52

Yeah, and hopefully we're able to transform 1933 Lounge into kind of like I don't know, I don't really know how to say it, but we were just at monji gardens doing the uh, the wedding there last saturday. Yeah, it was beautiful and it was almost like you were transported. This a different place, right? Yes, so hopefully that's the idea is, maybe not this time, but as we grow and as we develop this, this Latin night, this Havana night at 1933, hopefully we'll we are able to transport people into a different, a different place.

Gordy B: 19:41

Yeah, make it feel like they're in Havana. Yeah, make it feel like they're in Havana. Yeah, make it feel like they're in Cuba and and and you know, um, and I, really I can't wait for Halloween. Like I know all these people, they dress up and they bring their dancing shoes and they do all of those things you know. Just, but I feel like Halloween. I mean, we could really dress up Havana. What era is Havana? What time period is that? Is that the 60s? Is that the Cuban Missile Crisis? What era is the Havana Nights? I don't know, but it'd be cool. Something like a Coco Bongo. Well, that's all over Cancun, right with Jim Carrey in the mask, and that's like a real popular thing. Yeah, so Havana Knights is set in 1958, during the period leading up to the Cuban Revolution.

Gordy B: 20:43

Yeah, so we'll be looking at 50s attire. You know, if we could get a havana night halloween edition. You know we could have a, a costume party, like a costume contest. Yeah, right, who, what couple looks the most authentic? You, who has the best fruit basket on their head? Hey, you think somebody will wear one, probably. I don't see why not Like a real one? I don't know about a real one. Will it have an upside down pineapple on it? I hope not. It better stay the hell away from us, hey, but they might find somebody that likes that kind of thing. Right To each their own. Yeah, I'm not one to judge, I don't care. Have fun, do your thing.

Gordy B: 21:30

Saturday no wedding. So we got a nice little Saturday off, which, look, when we do 1933, when we do clubs, when we do parties, when we do weddings, we don't really get out of hand or anything. You know, I'm not a heavy drinker. I might have one drink throughout the entire night, and usually not even that, and usually I won't even eat. No, simply for the fact that I don't want to have to go caca while I'm DJing, like here. Look one, I don't have any pre-recorded mixes. Yeah, I don't do that. Yeah, I probably should create one.

Gordy B: 22:14

You know that's 30 minutes long or something, because you don't know how long it's going to take in the bathroom. You don't know what your guts are going to do to you, that's true. You don't know, you could have some explosive diarrhea. Yeah, dumb and dumber, style Jeff Daniels shaking his legs on the toilet. That's pretty sad, oh man, hey. But hey, jim Carrey poured all of that laxative in his drink. He did. He was jealous, he was mad because he was dating that girl. Yeah, that was his boy. Yeah, and they still ended up friends and loved each other and they got this stupid scooter.

Gordy B: 22:54

But what's the worst thing when you can't find a bathroom? Shitting on yourself, yeah, what were you going to say? Because that's not what you were going to say. Shitting on yourself is the worst thing. The worst feeling is not having the urge to have to go to the bathroom and you can't find a bathroom. Yeah, that's pretty terrible. Or the bathroom is taken, somebody's in it and it's only one stall, or something. That's when you say, fuck it, I'm going to the women's restroom, or you upper deck it. What is that? You don't know what an upper deck is, I don't know.

Gordy B: 23:31

Well, guys are able to urinate in sinks, right, tall guys. I can't speak for these little Willy Wonkas walking around, these little, these little Oompa Loompas, these little Oompa Loompas, right, I can't speak for them? I'm 6'3". I can pee in a sink if I had to, right, I'm tall enough that it reaches, yeah. So I imagine if push came to shove, worse came to worse, you can get your ass up on the sink too, right? No, but didn't that happen in Bridesmaids, that movie Bridesmaids? Oh, I don't know, did it? Yeah, they shit in the sink. Well, because they all had bad food, remember. She took them to a shitty restaurant, come on. Oh, they all got food poisoning, right, and they were all rushing to the bathroom, yes, and then one said F it and went in the sink, and the other one in the middle of the street Ugh, ugh Nasty, baby, ugh, gross Nasty.

Gordy B: 24:41

What else do we got? We got the podcast starting. The guys will be over here tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, we'll have the turntables going and some food, some drinks, smoke, drink. Whatever you want to do, I don't care. No blunts in the house, though, man, that shit, we couldn't get that fucking smell out. No, man, and I smoke, but I don't smoke blunts. I guess, jesus Christ, that shit was terrible. So, if anybody listening, don't let people smoke blunts in your house, that stank will stay around for a long time.

Gordy B: 25:20

What's the difference between a blunt and smoking weed? A blunt has tobacco in it, right? I don't know. I don't know what a blunt has, but it was pretty heavy, yeah, it wasn't great. The next time he rolled, I gave him some of that jet fuel, snow fuel, uh-huh, and they rolled that and used that and that smelled fine, right? Yeah, so I'm pretty sure whatever he had had fucking tobacco in it or something, and I don't like that, I don't like tobacco. The only tobacco I like is when I was a kid and my dad used to smoke a cob pipe.

Gordy B: 25:59

Yeah, and it's a funny thing how sensories work with memories. Right, sensories tie into memories. They're very, very almost hand in hand. Yeah, like it's automatic, right For me. I smell acetone and it reminds me of my mom's beauty shop, right, I grew up in a beauty shop. Yeah, and it reminds me of my mom's beauty shop. I grew up in a beauty shop. If I smell perm, chemical, I know those smells anytime I walk by and every once in a while. It doesn't happen very often anymore because obviously pipes and tobacco are not super popular or whatever it may be in the sense of free tobacco and not cigarettes and chemicals and everything else, but I can smell that, yeah, and that's why I like to go to like ross or other places and go to their candle section and they a lot of times they have these candles called pipe tobacco and it smells just like dad did. Right, I can, I can smell it. It's a memory thing. And the same thing happens with all of your sensories.

Gordy B: 27:07

With music, you hear a certain song comes on and you were in love in high school or something, and that reminds you of your time in high school with whoever you were with. Yeah, right, yeah, so the guys will be here. We'll podcast. We have four of them set up.

Gordy B: 27:27

I'm probably gonna have to take a look at these settings because I I hear a lot of air in the in the uh headphones for some reason. Um, but when we pause or we stop the podcast, we can replay it right now and we'll we'll see what it sounds like. It could be perfect, perfect, yeah, because we didn't skimp on these microphones and this Rodecaster Pro 2 and these headphones and all of that. We definitely did not skimp on it, yeah, so we'll roll with a couple podcasts. We'll do a Gordie B and a Queen B, just me and you. Yeah. And then we'll do one yeah, it was the AC. Yeah, I just turned it off, oh.

Gordy B: 28:16

So yeah, we're just going to have to leave that off because that shit is way too loud and this shit sounds super crisp now, yeah, and imagine, once I dial in all of the microphone, gain and attack and all those other settings, this will be a real nice show to listen to. You know, if you want to listen to it, if you don't, I don't care. You know it's kind of a diary for me. You know it'll be a nice thing. I don't really know that a lot of people think about. Later Our daughters will have these.

Gordy B: 28:52

It's like an audible diary. Our daughters will have these files long after we pass and they'll get to hear us and all of our crazy shit and how demented we are or aren't, and they'll get to hear that, which is kind of nice. That's a win, no matter what. Right, like, if I get five people that subscribe to our podcast, whatever, yeah, end of the day, if and when I pass, they'll have our voices. They'll have all of these, which is kind of cool with the audio guest books too, right, you know, when we take them to parties and weddings, yeah, um, everybody has a guest book you can all go up to and write a.

Gordy B: 29:38

I wish you guys the best. I hope blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But when it's somebody's voice and that person is gone, now that's a wonderful thing. You know, you can always go back and listen to their voice. It's a little bit more than just a written. But look now, oh shit, if I were to pass, would you go back and listen? Yeah, hell, yeah, yeah, all the time, all the time. I would too, all the time, even though if it made you shitty I don't think it would make me shitty you being gone would be the shitty. Yeah, that's what would make me shitty me hearing your voice. It would be like tears of happiness, right, it would be like I miss this person. I love this person. Um, that person was my best friend, that person I did everything with, I went everywhere with. We were attached at the hip. Um, not that we don't have friends, but you're my best friend. So the majority of my time I want to spend with my best friend.

Gordy B: 30:46

Right, and again, you know, allie had that post the other day talking about somebody looking for a caterer, right, and she's Allie's friend on, or he. I say she, whoever it may be she was Allie's friend on social media and they didn't even hit her up first before posting that or anything else. Now in their defense, look, we can pay for anybody. We want to pay for catering, wise, right. It doesn't necessarily mean that I was catering tacos. If I'm catering barbecue, you know, fuego's is probably not the right place for me to ask for catering from, right. But in the case that it was just generic catering, there was no direction on kind of food, style of food, anything like that. Then, yeah, why didn't you hit me up? I replied to her post or whatnot, and I was thinking about it.

Gordy B: 31:59

We don't have friends in the same sense that people used to have friends, or we do, but we uh, we blur the line with social media. Yeah, so that friendship line is kind of blurred and especially like, if you open your phone right now and go to facebook and go to your personal page, scroll down just slightly to see the number of friends that you have or people that you have are on social media with you, it's clearly labeled friends. Yeah, now I have like 4,800 or 4,300 or some ridiculous number, right, and I think Facebook maxes you out at 5,000. Okay, um, I obviously don't have 4 000 friends. No, um, I couldn't name 4 000 names. No, um, um, I couldn't tell you anything about half of the people on social media, right?

Gordy B: 32:57

Um, for me, just like this little podcast, right now, social media is a diary. Yeah, it's a place for me to be able to put down things that are on my mind random things, silly things, business, most of its business, much of its business. Much of it is. If I didn't have business or family, I want't be on social media. Yeah, I just have no interest in it. Um, which sounds funny coming from me, because I fucking post all the fucking time.

Gordy B: 33:35

I post a lot, um, but again, the things that I post are mostly business and or endeavors or hobbies or interests or trying to help somebody else out. Yeah, like posting for Savannah and Allie and Jose today, for Fuegos and for the, the sweet shack. You know, yeah, I posted, yeah, and you know it doesn't do anything for me, necessarily. No, uh, savannah's a good girl, allie and Jose good people. You know it doesn't do anything for me, necessarily. No, savannah's a good girl, allie and Jose good people, you know, they're working, they're busting their butts, they're trying, they're making an effort. You know, and I have no problem at all supporting any and everybody.

Gordy B: 34:14

I can, yeah, I always will, and you know more than anybody else the additional things that we do or that I do that we don't post, we don't tell everybody everything that we do. All the time I said, look at me, I did this good thing, this good deed, that this, that and the other. Right, you know, was it a good deed? Posting for Savannah today? Absolutely, absolutely. Does everybody know the two or three other things that we did today to help other people out that we did not post about or talk about or anything else? No, and you know, we're not looking for I'm missing the word, it's a real good word Recognition or something along those lines. Right, not looking for that? Not at all.

Gordy B: 35:14

Me, posting for Savannah doesn't do anything for me, nothing at all. I have no ties to her business or anything, anything else. You know, I don't supply her waffle batter, I don't supply her fruit and ice cream and everything else I don't. You know, I don't. I don't supply any. I have no vested interest at all, um, but yeah, I like to. I like to post about what's currently going on in G's life. So mom can see it, family can see it, no other reason. Otherwise, again, I wouldn't jump on social anymore. But it's too good for business. Yeah, it's too good of a of an advertising platform. Um, it's too good. Yeah, right, it's today's newspaper.

Gordy B: 36:15

You know, you see, everything revolves around it right now. You see these little memes and stuff. You know people try to rationalize or whatnot, and, oh, everybody's heads are in their phone all the time. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And and then all you got to do is go back and look at, like chicago and new york in the 40s and 50s, and what do you see? Everybody in in a newspaper, everybody is holding a newspaper, everybody is buying a newspaper from the.

Gordy B: 36:45

What you can get on a, on a phone, on a device, yeah, and through a device, through a phone, you can get different, different stories, if you will, different perspectives, right, uh, as opposed to only getting the New York Times that may say Israel, israel, israel, right, versus going to Al Jazeera or something that says, you know, palestine's doing this, israel's doing this, this is what's going on in the region and you know things of that nature, where you actually have the ability to make up your own mind, right, you're not fed information and told what to think or what to believe. You can gather information from all kinds of different sources at this point, and then it's up to you, an intelligent human being, to try to decipher through the bullshit and the lies and the. You know, everybody has a, everybody has a, a hidden agenda, right, an alternate agenda. Right, somebody's going to be cheering for the raiders and somebody's going to be cheering for the Niners? Right, and everybody has an agenda as far as that goes, because while I'm rooting for the Raiders, I'm also rooting for the Broncos and the Chargers and the Chiefs to all fucking lose that week, because I have an agenda. Right, I have a hidden agenda that I want the Raiders to be first place in the division, you know. So it could be something as small as that, simple as that, all the way up to something that's very, very, very controversial. Yeah, talking about israel and palestine, talking about religion, talking about politics, talking about all these things that there's a whole lot of people in the world that only get fed information from one source, one side whether that's one of my old uncles listening to Fox News, or a friend listening to MSNBC or CNN or whoever all these other outlets are, or news that comes across your Facebook feed or your Instagram feed.

Gordy B: 39:25

Right yeah, a little deep for an initial podcast conversation. Jesus Christ, I know baby. Well, damn, going off on tangents and rants that might have just lost us a bunch of viewers. No, I don't think so. We didn't go too into detail. You know why. It didn't lose us any, because we don't have any. I can say any of the fucking thing I want to say right now. I ain't got no viewers, I ain't got no listeners. Let's see, you can only do as much as you can do. We tried for everybody listening. That was a text message that came across and it's none of y'all's fucking business. We ain't telling you motherfuckers everything, even though it might seem like it, when we post on a daily.

Gordy B: 40:38

So we're going to be making a trip down south this weekend. We'll be back next week. Passed my test for work, so I officially have a job. You've had a job, I've had a job. But if I didn't pass that test within three attempts, I was either going to be out of a job or probably relocated or something like put in another department or something. So now that your job is secured, does that mean I get to quit mine? Absolutely. Well, now that my job is secure, right, and we have G's Body Works, yeah, and we have Cali Entertainment Group, we have Busy B, we have DJ Gordy B Well, I guess we can go into that now.

Gordy B: 41:29

Right, that's another segue. We can start talking about the businesses. We've been working with Stacy Henzo. She's been doing a lot of our graphics, our flyers, our logos, things of that nature, and she's also going to be doing a website for us. We got some CRM software HoneyBook that Nathan Antwine and Courtney Antwine put us onto. So we'll start going into that and getting our contracts and all of our information and our packages and our pricing and things of that nature set up so that when somebody hits us up we can put their information into our system. It will instantly email them the contract and disclaimers. And if it's a wedding or a party, whatever it, what you know, what music do you want? What are your special songs? Who are your people? Where's the location? You know everything.

Gordy B: 42:27

Yeah, hopefully, take a little error out, not that I. I feel like we've had any error we've done just fine uh, managing without anything, crm and things like that've got to go to the bank. On Friday we're going to go get our business account set up for our LLC. That'll be set up. It's going to change our personal cards as well, so it's going to upgrade our cards or something so we avoid, like, fees or overdrafts or all kinds. Was it Sapphire, was it Chase Sapphire? Was it Chase Business, something like that. And we're going to stick with Chase.

Gordy B: 43:15

We thought a lot about different banks, local banks, credit unions, all of that, and I kind of just feel that Chase, with the upgraded business account and cards that avoid fees and things of that nature, we're able to wire money to locations without a fee, instead of Chase's $50 fee, which the guy over at Chase was real nice. He's like, hey, I suggest Walmart, yeah, right For the wiring. Wiring, yeah, but it's from person to person, yes, kind of like Western Union or something, I would suppose. Uh-huh. So, while that is nice, it's a nice option to be able to try to get some money down to somebody in Mexico or across the world, somewhere that has a Walmart. That it's a nice option to be able to try to get some money down to somebody you know in mexico or across the world, somewhere that has a walmart that they can walk into and provide their id and stuff and grab money. But in our case, when we're dealing with businesses and things of that nature, we're yeah, we need to wire account to account, which that's not walmart's deal. I guess that's still in the banking realm. So we'll get that taken care of. We'll have the website up probably in the next couple months.

Gordy B: 44:32

Got a party on Sunday, yeah, and then we take off. Yeah, just go, go go this night After Sunday and then we'll be back. Who was it Wednesday, thursday, was it Alex Garcia, mobile mechanic? Oh, yeah, Came out, came out to the house, put new brakes all around the Jeep, uh-huh, recharged the AC on site here. Yeah, somebody that we're going to start using. Yeah, we don't like to go nowhere.

Gordy B: 45:04

Well, you know, look, it's not that I don't mind going somewhere, it's just that I feel Bakersfield has a lot of subpar mechanics, yeah, of subpar mechanics. Yeah, I feel like I've been let down by quite a few, uh, dealerships, mechanics, things of that nature. And it's not the ignorant stuff, right, it's not like hey, I went in to have my brakes changed and now my transmission's not working. Well, that's, that's just a coincidence, right? And I'm not trying to rake youake little shops over the coals and say, oh, I'm trying to get a free transmission out of this, because I just had it in the shop and you touched my brakes. I'm like, come on, we know better than that. But when you go have something done and it's not done right, or you go have something done and there's no communication, there's no. Hey, just want to let you know this is what's going on with it. This is our eta, this is what we're thinking. How long it's going to take, you know, no communication at all.

Gordy B: 46:06

Yeah, like, uh, I've dropped my jeep off, the little cherokee, the 93 cherokee. We dropped that off before we went to mom's out in ohio, and that was a fucking couple months ago. Yeah, now I've, as I've gotten older I'm 43 now I've gotten a little bit more patient, not super patient, but a lot more than I used to be. Um, it used to be where I would probably call every other day hey, what's going on? What's going on? What the fuck's the status? Are you guys gonna let me know? Like what the hell? Right, yeah, but I didn't do that.

Gordy B: 46:37

So a month after we got back, I contacted them. I'm like, hey, well, you know what's going on. And we're like, oh, we found X, y and Z and it'll be this much, this much, this much. And I was say, hey, it's ready for pickup. Yeah, I'm like okay. And I wasn't able to get back to them that day because, hey, I'm busy sometimes. Right, you know, you work three jobs, you work 18 hours a day, whatever it may be. Look, I just don't always have time to respond to, to check, to look, it's like man, I.

Gordy B: 47:21

So the next day I also got a text message from them that said your vehicle is ready. And then, right after that, can you please call us? Yeah, I'm like. I'm like, okay, yeah, no problem, you know, they probably want to know when I'm going to pick it up, even though they went a month without communicating with me anything. Now that they've messaged me in, less than 24 hours later, they want to hit me up again because they want to collect their money and get my Jeep out of their shop.

Gordy B: 47:48

So I call them back and they say, hey, your rear hub fell apart when we drove the Jeep to the front of the shop fell apart when we drove the Jeep to the front of the shop and I'm like, oh okay, what's this one going to cost me, right, what's next? Yeah, yeah. And they were like, oh well, it's just the rear one, it's going to be this. I was like, well, can you check the others? Yeah, can you check the driveline? Can you check the transfer? Can you check all the U-joints? Can you check everything? Right, just check everything, please. Yeah. And they said they did they, everything else looked fine and they replaced the back. So that's finally ready to pick up. And when we do pick it up, when we get back, um, I'm still gonna have alex work on it. I think, yeah, until alex shows me something of concern right, like he's not reliable, trustworthy, good work, things like that I'm going to continue rolling with the guy.

Gordy B: 48:41

I liked him yeah, I did too. He was a decent dude and we were hospitable. Fed him, gave him something to drink, gave him a beer, gave him a couple waters, gave him a couple Arizonas. Yeah, good guy, what else do we got going on Just working. You hit the microphone, that's extra noises. It is unacceptable on this podcast. This is unacceptable on this podcast. This is a professional podcast. Sure, what you better act like something, what else? What else? Mario Golf? Yeah, I do love Mario Golf, mario Golf.

Gordy B: 49:35

We're not quite sure how this transpired or happened. We have an idea, but we love playing Mario Golf. Now I'm pretty sure what happened is I have my shield on the TV NVIDIA Shield, it's a little Android box and I have emulators on it and games on it like thousands and thousands and thousands of ROM games and I think I wanted to play golf for some reason. So I was looking through Nintendo, super Nintendo, nintendo 64, and I think I found a golf on Nintendo 64 and it was Mario Golf, and no shit. This was just last year. We were playing Mario Golf on a Nintendo 64 and it was Mario Golf, and no shit. This was just last year. We were playing Mario Golf on a Nintendo 64 emulator.

Gordy B: 50:22

The graphics were complete shit, complete garbage. The gameplay was you know whatever, but it was fun. It's a fun game. Yeah, they have special shots, they have different modes and things like that. So we loved it so much and we were playing it so much, I was like you know what? We need to buy a Switch for the house. Yeah, you know a Nintendo Switch for the house so we can play and so also the girls can have something to play on when we're all here, even when we're not here. So the girls, you know they play Mario Kart and they play Minecraft, dungeons and whatever else. We just got them.

Gordy B: 50:58

Just dance, oh, just dance was pretty huge. Yeah, that was great. Nintendo switch just dance ultimate edition or something. I think it's like 90 bucks, but I think it has a whole bunch of uh, expansion packs built into it. You know, the original game's probably 40, then the just dance expansion one, two, three and four. Another twenty dollars, ten dollars a piece. So I just bought the big one, right, I wanted all the music and we love music here. We all love music. Um, and, yeah, no, sooner that, we got that game downloaded onto the switch and booted up, the girls even you babe got on it and we're having a ball, having a great time. So when they get over here this weekend, yeah, we can pick them up Friday.

Gordy B: 51:49

Yeah, when they get over here this weekend, we're probably going to be doing a lot of just dance, especially on Saturday, since we don't really have anything going on that. We don't have anything going on on saturday. Um, rich is having his event at his house out there by the kern river. Okay, for, uh, big fred, dj fred. Okay, months, abyss, yeah, I don't, I'm gonna, I'm gonna murder the last name montssibis, whatever it is right Fred. Fred had an unfortunate diagnosis this year, so people are kind of rallying around him and trying to help him and help his family and do things of that nature. And Rich this weekend is going to have a barbecue cook-off at his place where I believe several entries, several people are going to try to see who has the best barbecue, which sounds good to me. I can go around picking on some meat and eating and just hanging out. So maybe we'll sneak over there and try to support for a minute, Maybe make a donation, maybe enter a raffle, whatever. If we win, great. If we don't, great. And we've already done something for Fred a month or two ago, for a week, all proceeds from G's Body Works went to Fred and his family.

Gordy B: 53:11

I don't know what's over by you. I dropped my phone. Don't be stepping on it, dragging it across the floor with your foot. Man Like hey, is it no Dick? But guess what, you're my dick. I don't need a dick. Okay, I have one, I don't need an extra one. Don't call me a dick, dick, I don't need a dick. Okay, I have one, I don't need an extra one. And don't call me a dick, dick, pussy, guess what, guess what. You're my pussy. Yeah, I am Stupid.

Gordy B: 53:47

And now, look, people are going to be listening to this shit and they're not going to understand that here, this is what Marion does. This is what, what, okay, what? Here, this is what Marion does. This is what this is what Marion does. If I call her anything or I say she's a pain in the ass or anything with a negative connotation to it, right, she'll say but guess what, I'm your pain in the ass and guess what. You can't give me back. I'm not trying to give you back, I'm all yours. Baby, you gotta put up with my shit. Let's see oh, savannah and the taco shack fuego's taco shack and grill Fuego's Taco Shack and Grill. Savannah's Sweet Shack is up to 21 posts for this, 21 likes for this latest post. To go tell people to go support her, nice. So I really hope people go out and support her. That would be nice.

Gordy B: 54:49

She's a sweet girl. She's worked hard. You know she's young. I mean, how old is she? I believe she's 18. See, that's impressive, because at I mean, how old is she? I heard her have her own truck. I believe she's 18. See, that's impressive, because at 18, I was irresponsible as fuck. Yeah, she's a good girl.

Gordy B: 55:04

Well, I'm still probably 80% irresponsible, right, I just have the means and the money To be irresponsible, to be irresponsible and get away with it. Right, that's probably what it is. You know, us men, we probably never grow up fully, right? We, we, all we come into money and then we can do whatever the fuck we want, right? Yeah, it's like I want to buy a podcast. I'm gonna do a podcast, then I want to start djing. I'm gonna start djing. Then I want to massage. I'm gonna start massaging. Then I want to barbecue. I'm I'm going to start DJing, then I'm going to massage. I'm going to start massaging, then I'm going to barbecue. I'm going to start barbecuing then. No, we're not barbecuing. I'm still thinking about it. No, we're not doing that.

Gordy B: 55:40

I think, look, listen, it's enough. No, it's not up to you, it's enough. I have a say. Now listen to me. This is my thinking, right? Even 16 hour work day, I work 9 hours for dignity, common spirit, whatever I do, another 4 hours body's work, g's body works, cupping, scraping, massaging, adjusting, all that good stuff. And then you know this DJ stuff is work, right? You don't just show up to a place and go DJ. There's a lot, a lot, lot, a lot of hours and time behind the scenes, collaborating with people like tomorrow we'll have uh, patamime ilflow dos muchos, myself and who. Who knows if anybody else will just come to hang, right? Yeah, uh, but I have dedicated my wednesday nights to this little thing that we're creating called a podcast.

Gordy B: 56:40

What was I talking about? Again, baby, we're talking about you know you're able to do all these things. No, we were talking about something else. We said something else. We were talking about Savannah, that she's young and she can do all this stuff. We got past that. You said you could be irresponsible. We got past that. We talked about the podcast. I don't think so. I'm going to have to remind this podcast to find out what the hell I was talking about, because I forgot. I don't think you can have a podcast if you don't have a good memory. Wait, wait. What was I talking to y'all about? You did that the other day. Hey, I did that. Who were we? Oh, with Tino. Uh-huh, my old friend Tino Gaitan. Is it Gaitan, tino Gaitan, I think yeah. He showed up over at 1933 with his lovely little wife, hung out with us and we were having a conversation while I was DJing and I completely lost track of what the hell we were talking about. I started answering something and I had to stop and say hey, what was I talking about? What were we talking about? Again, that's bad, baby. Hey, don't undo those. We got to put them back in the box and we got to transport them over to 1933. Like you're going to have to roll them all back up. Like you create more problems in work for yourself and me.

Gordy B: 58:11

You know what was funny today? What that somebody asked me if my mommy and daddy were home. Okay, okay, look, I understand that you're five foot two. I understand that you're smaller than my two biological daughters. I understand that. But look, you in no way, shape or form look like an adolescent or a teenager, alright. So for a weirdo dude to come up to you and say is your mommy and daddy home? Like dude man, you. You smoked a few too many, daddy home. Like dude man you. Yeah, let me get you my daddy. You smoked a few too many drugs. My guy, like you're, it's pretty bad. Here comes my daddy, though, with the gun. I did have the gun.

Gordy B: 59:09

Well, because you know, look, man, we live on Allen, all right, we live on old Allen, allen technically, which is a dead end. And after five o'clock, when all the gardeners from penny go home, when all the people from the back go home and the people from next door laurel water, laurel ag or whatever they're called, when they go home, there is absolutely zero reason for any single vehicle to come down our street. Yeah, so if you come down our street, I am automatically going to assume bad intentions, right like there's no reason for you to be here, there's no reason for you to be down the road, there's nothing here for you, there's no businesses, there's nothing. Now, look, if you're my client, cool, which I. I messed up. I'm one of my clients once too. Yeah, you did, poor guy. He never came back.

Gordy B: 1:00:16

Well, I mean, look, I've had my Jeep broken into. I've had an entire 2008 Yamaha R1 motorcycle stolen from right outside my front door. And when I say right outside my front door, I mean literally. I backed my motorcycle up to where the rear tire was practically touching my fucking door and I go outside the next day and that motherfucker's gone. So somebody pulled up with a truck, two individuals, but how did you not hear it? I can't hear it. I don't fuck, I sleep Still. I'm dead to the world when I sleep. They're lucky I didn't hear it. I'm lucky too, though, cause if I would've shot Somebody and killed them, I could've lost my life as well. Right Could be in prison.

Gordy B: 1:01:11

I don't think you can just Open the door and shoot and kill somebody, cause they're grabbing your motorcycle. What do you do? I don't know. Property call the cops and like tussle with them, chase them, like try to grab your bike. I don't know, but in today's day and age, you can't really do shit.

Gordy B: 1:01:29

And the same thing applies when somebody breaks into your home. No, somebody breaks into their home. No, listen, no. If somebody breaks into your home and their back is turned towards you and you have scared them or startled them and they're going to run back out of your house, that means that they are no longer an imminent threat or danger to you or your life and you have no right to defend such. So you can get in trouble for shooting somebody that was in your house Now.

Gordy B: 1:02:05

Now look. I mean, you have split seconds to determine how dangerous this individual is that's breaking into your home. Are they just a crackhead and they're just trying to grab some shit and leave and, you know, pawn it off and make some money, or are they here to really harm you? Right, and and and? At that point you're like, well, I'm gonna err on the side of caution and I'm gonna fucking shoot you in the face. I'm gonna err on the side of caution and I'm going to kill you. But it's a. It's a very, very.

Gordy B: 1:02:40

You know, people get sued in california all the time, you know. For you know, somebody will break into somebody's kitchen window and cut themselves with a knife and they can get sued for it. The homeowner, it's like man. No, that's not cool. Man, that's. That's ridiculous, yeah, that's ridiculous. At that point, you might as well put a bullet in somebody's leg, right, I'm gonna make sure it really hurts then, right, I'm gonna make sure you're really bleeding. Yeah, we're gonna make sure that there's a possibility that you might bleed out and die. If you're gonna break into my house, get cut with one of my kitchen knives and sue me. Motherfucker, what Hell? No, not happening.

Gordy B: 1:03:31

So what are we going to talk about next? I don't know. Huh, let's talk about next. I don't know. Huh, let's talk about. What do you want to talk about, mario? That's so weird. It makes me want to prank, call people with this thing. Yeah, that'd be fun Just to talk shit to somebody, because I think you can go into these effects right here and you can make them slightly less, uh, obvious, right, so you could probably just pitch up or down your voice just a couple octaves or a couple levels to where it still sounds semi-human, maybe. Yeah, and then talk shit to somebody. Yeah, get them all riled up, piss them off and then start laughing. And, man, that adds salt to the wounds. Yeah, who could we prank? I don't know, but our podcast is on an hour and four minutes already and we've been sitting here talking. That's a good little podcast. So here's.

Gordy B: 1:04:36

The other thing is we know nothing about podcasts. Nope, nothing. So we are going to have to figure out times. Yeah, we're going to have to figure out a flow. Right, we're going to have to figure out a flow. We're going to have to stay on subject on certain things. Yeah, today was all over the place, for sure. Today's all over the place, just because we're testing these mics and hanging out and we don't know what the fuck we're doing.

Gordy B: 1:05:01

Yeah, I don't care though, because, again, guess who gets to hear this in 30 years? Our girls, yeah, and guess what? No, I'm talking to my best friend. So, yeah, yeah, so it really doesn't matter. It's like we're on the phone, it's like I'm telling you know, I tell people, look, you know, if the podcast blows up and somehow comes famous as hell and all of a sudden we're on YouTube, getting monetized and all kinds of shit, great, right, yeah. If not great, I don't care, I don don't need it. It's not a means to an end, it's, it's. It's not, you know, delusions of grandeur. Where I think I'm, you know, I just have the sexiest voice on the radio.

Gordy B: 1:05:51

Yeah, did you say steak? What was that Deuce Bigelow, was that big boy? When he was fucking like 500 pounds? Yeah, jesus Christ, man, that guy lost a lot of weight. That's good, though. It prolonged his life 10 years, probably, hopefully. That's the idea, all right, well, do you want to wrap up the podcast for now? Yeah, or is there anything else you want to talk about the idea? All right, well, do you want to wrap up the podcast for now. Yeah, or is there anything else you want to talk about? No, all right. Well, I'm going to go ahead and end it here, all right, goodbye everybody. As-salamu alaykum, my brothers.
