What's up, everybody? It's Joel Puma. You were listening. You were watching the complex sneakers podcast as always. I'm with my guys first off to my right. Mr. Matt Welty. I wish we could have just like cut in 10 seconds earlier, but here we are.

To my left. Mr. Brendan Dunn. Hello. How are we doing? I feel okay. Feel good to another double header for the kid. We should bring it back to 10 seconds ago.

Go ahead. We were talking about Welty being out and about. He went to Emilio. He went to Emilio's. I want to not a plan not a plan to evening. Now I know how you have felt. Also, because you were always the one who was on the outside looking in other side of the glass watching all but you weren't on the outside looking in on that situation. This one.

Oh, you're right. Because maybe Derek had said you had been invited to the function and you chose not to come. I wasn't. So you were invited. Hold on. We set the invite up. You. This is Emilio's the same Italian restaurant that Joe took us all to a few weeks, maybe a couple months. What happened movie?

Let's hear what happened was his good friend and alumni of the podcast Derek Currier, sneaker politics, friend to all of us was in town for some brand meetings or whatever. Hit up me and done and was like, Hey, I'm in town. Do you guys want to like just do whatever after.

So he's placed right now. I said yes. I said yes. Brendan said he wasn't going to come out. I said I was. He has my back.

That's why exactly. We admit it was it brought back the energy we admitted in like some one of those showrooms, you know, like the brand showrooms. I hadn't been in one of those years. Well, he was absolutely dreading it being in Soho on a Tuesday night. I'll tell you that anyways.

Dude, let me explain it. So we go. We go out on meet. He has a brand meeting. We have like I don't know what drink or two. And then we're like, Hey, we're a little hungry. Like want to get something or so.

Yeah. And we're in that area in someone else that we were with who used to work at concepts was like, Hey.

Do you guys want to go try to eat at Emilio's? And I'm like, I said told him you're a veteran, a decorated veteran. I said no way we're going to get in.

Yeah. Right. And then they're like, no, they said, no, there's a table there. We have a table. We can get a table. So we walked in, but it was you know where we had sat like in the main room in the corner.

Yeah, just a table to VVIP table. I thought they were like not playing us, but we were there. And I'm like, where are we going? Cause we had to like walk through the kitchen. And I'm like, it's just like a joke. No, the other. It's the other side. But there's like a back patio or something like that. So we got a table in the back.

Do they bring out the scarf yellow wings or not? No.

How did you feel when you heard that he went to Emilio's without us without you is more important.

Not surprised.

Should I?

We're going to Emilio's in 10 minutes. You want to you're not allowed to go to any place that I introduce you to without me.

Oh, just kidding. You're allowed. I feel like he took the bat signal. He would have showed up.

Yeah, there was another one that he did the classic move where like he's midway through the meal. And that's when he texted me.

It's all good. Emilio's is great. And also go as much as you want.

Go right. Oh, Paul, Paul, Servino. Yeah, we lost another legend. Okay. Tony Sirico. Tony Sirico.

Tony Sirico summer. Shout out Tony and Pete Tony Sirico summer. And Paul Servino just passed couple couple days ago. Did it hit you hard?
