Calamari!

Where we try every fast food restaurant to let you know if you need it. You probably don't. And you don't need to go to a water bar. It's outside. You don't have a water park. That's why I think you don't have to go. So stop saying we can't. Idiot, spill some more shit on your shirt. I'm your host Michael Jones alongside my ghost., Swear, Jordan, how are you? I didn't forget. We don't even need to talk about what we ate or anything because what happened before we started rolling was so much more interesting, which was we were kind of just like waiting to get going. We're sitting here. You were taking care of something. I was selling a ticket real quick. Nice. I see. Traffic ticket. I think it's selling it to the highest bit. In the quiet lull, Nick just goes, we should really go to that mac and cheese restaurant at Calahari. Yeah. And I was standing in the doorway. I don't know if you looked up. I kept looking at you every time he said it. He was looking this way. I don't like. It was such a, it was, it felt like such a like, man, I really want to bring this up, but I just need to find the right time. It was almost. And he didn't find it. No. Yeah, he just, he's like, you know what? I bet I could squeeze this in real. It was quiet. The way he said it was like almost exasperated. Like, oh, fine. I guess we should talk about this again. Guys, we got to find a wolf in the room. Yeah, we got to find a way to get to Calahari. Where the elephant statues are? He, like, it took some, like, weaseling to get more information out of them. No. Yeah, I did. We were like, why did you bring this up? You were like, well, I was there. I was there yesterday. Right. Right. So that's usually where you can start. Hey, so yesterday I was actually doing this thing and I saw this thing. Why explain all that when you could just get to the point? Fine. I guess we should go to. That wasn't quite like that. But then Michael, you sat down and you were like, was that one of the places at the Mac and Cheese Fest I went to? Yeah. And Nick went, yes, he was like, then we should go.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

But we found out. Classic, classic encouragement. So Calahari is like, of course. Of course. The largest indoor water park or something. And it's just north of Austin. Resort. Grill. Calamari Resort and Grill. Calamari.

Calamari,

Resert and Grill

and Mac and Cheese.

Have ice cream

Calhari Resort and Grill. Calamari Resert and Grill and Mac and Cheese. They have ice cream. Calahari dessert. And Italian. They have ice cream. It smelled good. It is. It's not open yet. Yeah, he went and the whole point of the story was like, he took. The point of the story was we should go over mac and see. Yeah, but you went there and everything was closed.

Right, but it smelled good.

It smelled good. Wait, they weren't open, but they were cooking it? What do you mean? Yeah, they were getting ready. They were opening in like 30 minutes. Oh, I see. Okay, I thought he meant like they were shut down. He was also explaining. He's like, this is at Calahari. and I'm like, I don't want to go to an indoor water park. That's a separate building.

Fool!
