| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. My name's Cody Rigsby. And I'm Andrew Chappelle. And if you just ordered |
| 0:08.7 | appetizers for the table, this is your weekly episode of tactful pettiness. Listen, it is not |
| 0:16.4 | Restaurant Week here in New York, but it is Restaurant Week here on the podcast. Yes. |
| 0:23.7 | We know that you know this, but Cody and I love to eat. We love going to restaurants. I actually |
| 0:26.6 | kind of just forgot about Restaurant Week. |
| 0:29.9 | Once the last time you went to a restaurant week, like, |
| 0:32.3 | thing? So Joe is good |
| 0:34.7 | with deals and things. Okay. Okay. And I believe we, and when we were first early dating. Okay. Because it is kind of a good date thing to be like, hey, listen, it's restaurant week. We can go to this place. Because, you know, then it's like, it brings down the price. And then it's neither of you have been there. Yes. So it kind of helps with the. Then then it's a menu that like you didn't really... |
| 0:55.0 | That's not what you wanted from the restaurant. I mean, listen, we can... It's a watered down version of the restaurant. Listen, we can hop right into it, but I do have a thing against prefix menus because... Thank you. Inevitably, there's going to be something on the prefix that you don't want. So if I like stations two and three, but then station one doesn't have the thing that I want. |
| 1:14.7 | It typically does, and we will get more into it, it typically does go poorly at dessert. |
| 1:20.2 | They usually give you the dessert that I don't think you really want, but. |
| 1:24.0 | Well, because here's what I don't really always appreciate about prefixes. |
| 1:29.1 | Prefixes to me are charlatans. |
| 1:35.2 | They are pretending like they're doing you a favor, being like, oh, we can give you a taste test of the things that are in you and you're saving money. |
| 1:37.2 | No, you're saving money. |
| 1:39.0 | You're giving me the thing I didn't necessarily ever want to order. |
| 1:42.4 | Instead of giving Groupon. |
| 1:43.3 | Yes. |
| 1:43.6 | And that's fine. Oh's simply giving Groupon. Yes. It's not being Groupon. |
| 1:44.6 | And that's fine. |
| 1:45.5 | Oh my God, Groupon. Now that, we have done that that is a scam. Does Groupon still exist? I'm sure. No, no way. I was a Group. I was a Groupon girlie back in 2008, nine and ten. When we were on a budget. Listen, you had to go. I remember getting one of the worst massages of my life on a Groupon. |
| 2:02.6 | Absolutely. |
