Okay, well, what are you into? I know you feel the question, the young man. You know, you've been asking him about his different things on the phone. How long you been doing the game show? The game show. Well, first, just tell us a little bit about it. You know, we don't know how it even, how did you get into it? You want to ride it that way first? I've been doing it for a few years. I've been doing it for a few years, about four now. Four years now. I started on my birthday four years ago. Did somebody introduce you to it? That's what I'm, yeah. No, nobody introduced me to it. So where did the theory of it come along? Okay, so I was at, so all right. If I gotta go back. I'll take it back. Way back. If I have to go back. It's four years when I started this, right? But it doesn't originate from that. So you've been hearing it how long before that? Said it again? How long before that have you been hearing about it? About the game show? Yeah. I didn't hear about it at all. I created it. Right? I've been seeing people. So it started at a barbecue. It was my birthday. It was a barbecue at the house. I decided to put a barbecue together after leaving Arizona. I was living in Arizona for a while. I had actually got shot in Arizona. You can't just skate by getting shot. Everybody ain't just getting shot out here two-part, junior. You know what I'm saying? Everybody ain't just getting shot out here young Dolph Junior. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Everybody, no, we just, everybody not just getting shot out here and making it through, bro. No. That's a blessing. If you made it through something like that. Shot one time? Yeah, it was one. It was one. Oh, it was one. I wasn't sure if he was 50 cents or something. No, we ain't got one time. He just got shot one time, you know what I'm saying? He got shot two years. Thank God it wasn't multiple. I was like, ooh. Don't even worry, it just went down. That one was enough. That's what I'm saying. That one was enough. One time, I felt damn right. So wrong place, wrong time? I can't even say that. I was on the basketball court and I was, I'm very competitive. And so when I was on the court, I was doing what I do. I was, you know, Kansas City, man. They called me the Kansas City Slicker when I was out in Arizona. I really, I miss them. They called me the Kansas City Slicker. And I'm not really, I don't feel like I'm a slick person. I'm not nowhere near gonna snake you or do anything wrong. It's just a matter of, I'm not gonna let anybody get over on me. Talk to me in any kind of way or anything like that, right? And so I was playing ball and the guy, he was a bully, basically. He was a bully, but he sides the well with me. And that's cool. I don't know you. I'm not from around here.  I'm out here trying to get my run. You know what I mean?  You know, it's Sunday. I'm in Arizona. It's like 70 degree temperature. We're in the back of a school where it's like six courts. And so on those six courts, it was just after eight games of us playing full court press, I'm, we dogging. My team is just on the road. And so what had happened was is, he just didn't like that. He didn't like it. And so push came to shove and He went for a pistol and coming shot. Yeah. Yeah. He took it off of the basketball court. He was just upset. And so he walked up on me and shot me. And boy, didn't want to take the ale. I want to say you're blessed for the main fact you're still here. Because in my mind, when somebody's telling me about something, I'm walking it through in my mind. If I'm walking up to you and shooting you, I'm going to shoot. Most of the time you're going to get shot in the chest, in the head, something like that. Yeah. And you won't be here. Right. And I think he was just trying to make a point. He was trying to make a point. And that's cool. That's cool. Thankfully he was just trying to make a point. Where did you get shot? In my leg. In your leg. So were you running off or something when he shot you? No. I was straight up and down. He, he walked right up to me.  Yeah. I mean, he pulled it. I could have ran. I could have turned around and ran. But you didn't. I'm not running. I just got to play eight games. But he shot you one time and be like, okay, that's it. I'm done. I'm walking off. Yeah, that was it. He didn't walk off. He kind of ran it off. But yeah, I watched him the whole time he ran away. And what did you do? I couldn't do nothing but watching. I mean, at that point. You didn't go after him. You know, adrenaline rushing, you still able to run and stuff? I ran. At that point, I ran. I got a point out of there. But I couldn't go far. I hit the ground. I hit the ground, I took my shirt off, I wrapped my leg, got to make sure I was okay. I had to take care of myself at that point. How did you knew exactly what to do? Yeah. Okay. And so I was like, all right. And I watched him to make sure that, you know, he was done shooting and that was, that was that. Did you leave the city after that? No, I didn't leave the city after that. So you seen him again after that? Yeah, that's a whole other situation. That's a whole other situation. So what I'm saying is the original question. Yeah, I was going to get back to that, but that just sparked in my, come on. So the original question was what sparked it, right? So after that, my lady at the time, she was seven months pregnant with my son. And so I was like, all right, I got to do something different. And I knew that if I just experienced a, you know, near-death experience, it's like nothing's going to stop me at this point. So let's fast forward to me coming back home. I started my own company, my own line service when I came back home from Arizona. So I did leave the city afterwards, but I came back home to recover. And while I was here, I was like, all right, but I'm going to start my own. So it's not like you were running, you just came back to recover? Yeah, I had to come back and recover. My lady was seven months pregnant. So she's right at the buddy end of that. We got to come home and get to the hospital. You know, that's where my, my inspiration. No, my people, my people who are helping me get through this time are. So that's where they are. So I came back home and it fast forward a little bit longer than my birthday. And so at that point I was like, I'm not stopping. I know I have the charisma, I have the personality to do what I do on the game show side. I bring people together and we have fun. And so you were just doing a game show for your birthday party? I did a barbecue for my birthday. And I was like, I asked people to come through, just bring something. Everybody bring a plate, bring a dish. And they came through, they showed up. We had a lot of food, a lot of people. It was close to 250 people at this one part. Check it. And I was like, if I can just get a dollar from everybody, I'll be all right. Check it. And so then I was like, all right, bet. So the next event that I'm going to do, I'm going to put together a game show. Because when people come to my house, we play games.  Some people like to smoke, drink. We can just come through and cheat. So you've been playing games with your friends for a long time before this happened. Exactly. That's what Coupe told me. Y'all be drinking a lot. In your mind. So it just dawned on you. Nobody said it to you and said, hey, you should do this to get money. Nobody said that. I knew if I can do an event, I could promote the event. We can make money off the event. So how did it go from being physical games to being a virtual game? Oh, the pandemic switched everything. When the pandemic hit, I said, okay, these games I'm doing digitally, because the games that I have are digital games as well as cards and different things like that. But the games that I do digitally, I can actually put them onto a website and we can like do zooms, we can do different things and I can actually screen share with my computer. And so that caused me to be like, oh, we still can do the same thing virtually. I just had to find a platform to do it. I adjust it and we ring. Well, I think for me, you were one of the first guys that I seen doing it. Yeah. I mean, that's what made it so unique to me. Doing a game show online and just really bringing the people together in a place where they're already trying to figure out what they're gonna do in the midst of a pandemic. I think that's where I see the creativity and the uniqueness in you that God pulls out. You know, where it can help somebody, a kid in there that may be getting abused. I go there with it. Or a kid that it may be getting pressured mentally on things that normally he'd be at school and wouldn't have to deal with. Now you're dealing with the mom and the dad and then they out and they trying to figure out a way to come together with a group of people. You know what I'm saying? I think that helps. And even outside of that, I mean, it's just for that mom who doesn't have a lot of outlets for her son or their kids, right? So I do the kid versions of the shows and a lot of them, I work with a nonprofit. So we just invite them over to the platform so on certain days and so on those certain days to deal with the kids that are 12 and below. And we do our own game shows, right? And so it gives the mom an hour and a half time to just do her for a second, right? Just put the kid in front of the computer. I'll take care of the rest, right? So it's more therapeutic than anything. So therapeutic when you think about the fact that all they usually doing is playing video games and stuff where they're not interacting with another individual on the level that they're gonna interact with you. Some of your games can also be educational, correct? Oh, for sure, without a doubt.  But yeah, all of the games can be, they're customizable. So if we're doing educational games, we can do educational games. If we're doing ladies nights, we can do lady night games, right? We can just customize them depending on the demographic we work with. Did you ever have to create any games for yourself? That's coming up next. It's close, it's close. I want to do it so bad. I'm working with a guy right now. Him and I speak on the phone about four times a day. So I'm working on creating our own. But I've been trying to- But I make it unique because it rolled into my other question when you came up with this, especially being virtual now.  But then when you actually start to go virtual and you start to research, have you found anybody else online who do something similar that you do? I found a whole community of black people who black game creators that do what I do. So they host games, but they host their own, in particular, their game to the masses, right? And I'm like, all right, that's dope. But there's also some people out there who actually put together game night events. And so they only play black-owned games. And that's a beautiful thing, right? And so I found a whole community of people, but I also have found those people who are playing games, right? But using my name. Wow. Yeah, so I had those too. So you find one or two that pop up- I think that's good. Yeah, because they don't do the research. Yeah, I've done my research. So I know what's out there. I know what's not to be- But is that name your name? As in like you got it on paper, legal? Yeah, that's the beautiful part about it, right? It's the ultimate game night. It's trademarked throughout the whole country. Nobody can use it. That's awesome. And so if you're watching now- The ultimate game night is in the building, just so y'all know. Come on, man, trademark. Yeah, yeah. And the boy got to trademark the boy out of Missouri and y'all boys in trouble if you use it. Cause we coming to get that bag. I got a guy in New York who's going back and forth from right now, but we're gonna work with that. Yeah, yeah, we're gonna work with it, but we'll see you in court. Yes, sir. Don't play with us, man. I got some good lawyers out there. Don't play with us, man. But I don't think it's gonna get to that point. Well, if it do though, we prepared to go the whole distance for the ultimate game night. Sure, yeah, the ultimate game night, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's when I started about four years ago and ever since then I just been perfecting it, perfecting it, putting the events together. As you should. And working on my craft, man. What month is your busiest month of the year? June, July, and August. June is- Summertime because- Summertime, yeah. Yeah, for one, with the pandemic, you know, and with the pandemic happening during times where it was cold, when it warms up, everybody just wanna be outside and do something. For sure. And so they book us a lot. They book us a lot, and it's fun. But June is also my birthday month. Check him out, check him out, he jabbed you with the birthday month. So you getting specials on June, right? Yeah, I get a lot. I'm not giving any specials on June. Oh, he just called. I'm not giving any specials. This is a special day, for sure. He giving out jigs, brother. Cool, shout-out to- Say you're receiving specials. Yeah, for sure, for sure. And we do all kinds of things, man. So from the digital games, to in-person events, to birthday parties. But I'm also doing a kickball tournament for my birthday this year, so.  So would you say that the pandemic has been a blessing to your business? Have you gotten more business out of the pandemic, being virtual, or? Not. I would say, I wouldn't say more. I think it just, I was consistently booked, though, for sure, but I was consistently booked originally. So I wouldn't say more, they just needed me more, right? Okay. So I had a lot of repeat customers, right? Did you get a lot of new customers? I had some new ones. I had some new ones. Not a lot. Not a whole lot, but I had some, the repeat customers are the ones that- How have you been advertising? Word of mouth is great. Social media, in and out. I'm out here on social media, I'm out here on all platforms at the Ultimate Game Night. But have you been advertising and pushing your work out on there? On social media to the best of my ability, right? Yeah. You gotta start so I don't have a huge budget when it comes to marketing. I'm working on that. So in the meantime, I hit my streets. I'm in the streets, I'm in the community, I'm in the neighborhoods, I'm booking events. You see me around with me being out in the streets and we being out in the events and the parties, they see me, they book me, they wanna, and then the people who have already experienced my events, they come back, right? And they tell somebody about it. So they come looking for it. Oh, I got a game night, I'm trying to do a ladies night. All right, cool, I got something for you. So it's consistent. Have you ever thought about going into the schools and actually partnering up with the schools and saying, hey, I can come into whether the classroom or if we have this amount of people at the school so that we can create like a fun Friday or something like that. Have you ever done that? I haven't done it yet. I was, it was on the calendar to do then the pandemic hit. And so I haven't done it. But even now, during the pandemic, I think you can still do something like that. I just sealed the deal. Next month's gonna be my first month, my first year contract. I'm contracted with a company for a year. Shout out to contracting companies and putting that bag up. Yeah, she works with kids. Oh, okay, awesome. Yeah, S.D. Smith, she works with the kids back in the town. And so we're gonna do a whole year worth of events. So the first month is in May and we're doing two game nights a month. And they booked me for Memorial Day weekend. Shout out to the Memorial Day one-to-one. Until they booked the room. They got it right. They're doing it right. A rental car, I'm good. We good. Let me ask you this. Just to switch gears for a second. For sure. For as just the, have you, for sponsors, have you been trying to get you some sponsors, some people to, that you, when you're doing the game, ultimate game night, you can put some, something out. Like that's what we're working on now and I just wanted to ask you, are you even considering doing stuff like that? Oh, for sure. Cause I think that's, I think that's something that I'm, not only am I missing, but you missing too if we don't have that. And it takes some humbling to reach out to these people to get somebody to say, hey man, let them know that you'll put their stuff up when you're doing your show. Organize it in a way to work. And I think we can partner up on something like that. To where we can, you know, both link people together and cause I have, you know, we got to follow and they steadily going up from Instagram to Snapchat to YouTube. And we just kind of work it like that. So we both can represent each other. You'd be like, not only can I do your mind, but I can do your own boss talk as well. And we can work together on trying to get some sponsors. For sure. For sure. I'm always looking for sponsors. I think that, I think there's something, I think there's something we gotta work on. Cause I just, I haven't focused on that because I've been so busy focusing on you and the individuals that sit in that seat. I felt like the interview was important. I felt like it brought awareness to what happens in our culture. And I think that's more important than anything for me to make sure our people are being represented in the correct way. And when I say, when we say sponsorship, I'm not looking for, I mean, I would like to have a big sponsor. That's cool. But even the mom and pop stores. I'm a mom and pop. Why not? Even the mom and pop store, I'm not, I'm not overlooking anybody or anything. If you can bring value to me. Yeah. I'm gonna bring value to you and your clients and we can merge right in the middle. I think that's true. I think that's the way we gotta go with it. I really do. But I just gotta take the time out to hire somebody to start hitting the business like we were doing with VRM early on and just have some people that go out and speak and talk to the business owners about sponsoring Boss Talk 101. Sponsoring the Ultimate Game Night. Just put it on a fly. Do you have a website? Together. My website, ugnkc.com. Ultimate Game Night. Ugn, Ultimate Game Night. K-Seeker. That's what I found. Shout out to KC, man. You know what I mean? It's going down. The reason why I asked you too, because we had another guest on our show and what he said he did is when someone visits your website, the first thing that pops up on his website is a little drop down thing that talks about do you, would you like to sponsor us?  So that's something you could put on your website. Okay. So if somebody's wanna check you out, they can see, oh, I can have them sponsor us. Yeah. I like that. So that's something you could do. Come on now. Miss Jamaica. The official. Don't play with us. She tripping over there. The official. The official. There's a bunch of them out there. Because there's a bunch of them out there, so I gotta make sure it's official. You the official. I'm the official. My apologies. My apologies. So what would a guy like me do up in Kansas City, Missouri, man? First off, I'm gonna let you ride with me. Okay. We're gonna go. I don't know. You got shot, money. Yeah. But it wasn't in Kansas City. Well, wherever it was. It was on it. But sometimes you gotta watch the studio to keep, you know, you told your side. I ain't heard the other side. You haven't heard the other side. But I mean, we're gonna ride, you know what I'm saying. I'm gonna make sure you good. Okay. In my neighborhood. All right, because y'all ain't got an open carrier out there, do you? No, I don't know yet. I don't think so. I don't know if it's open. Down here in Texas, you better have your, yeah. Opening, carrying. That's what I say. I talk about people who tell people, oh, we're gonna control the guns, how are you gonna do that? Because the ones who really, the ones in the streets, they getting them illegally anyway. And they have them all the time. So don't matter. So you don't really just make yourself vulnerable. You might ought to open that gate. Yeah, but it ain't even about that when we go back to the town.  I gotta treat you, I gotta treat you nice. We're gonna ride a horse here. I got my partner. You want us to come back? Yeah, for sure. I want you to always come back. You know what I'm saying? I'm not gonna even do you wrong. I know you got to ask, I feel you. You got to ride in luxury. I'm gonna have my partner come get you from the airport. First and foremost, my best friend. His name is Deion. He does a deluxe transport, right? So he'll pick you up in the escalade and bring you to where I'm gonna be at. And we're gonna ride. We're gonna get some barbecue first and foremost. You like barbecue, right? What is Kansas City known for? Are they known for the barbecue? They were known for barbecue for sure. Because anytime we travel anywhere, we always go and say, okay, what is this town known for? Food-wise. Because we want to experience, because we love food. We want to experience. When I hit that bad boy, I ain't gonna lie to you. I'm gonna probably grab an escalade out there.  That's how I do it. I'll say less. Yeah, because I like to ride and look and I might want to stop you home, but I don't know what he's doing. I know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna whip that whip. You know what I'm talking about? I feel it. I'm gonna pull up in Chicago like that, then I'll back. Yeah, I'll pull up. And I'll pull it up hard too. Oh, we're gonna be back. I pull up like, Texas Niggas real, real, real, real. And we swing wide and, you know, each other three into a one. Don't swing two out on these streets there. These streets here got potholes. Y'all y'all got potholes? Yeah, we got potholes.  I know the partners down there. Texas Niggas are all real and swing wide. Yeah, I know the partners down there at the city, they not gonna, they gonna just patch it up. Oh, they ain't gonna do that with it? Nah, man, we ain't gonna do all that. You gotta know where you're going. That's why you gotta follow me. Make sure when I'm swinging, you swing. Organize the way. Yeah, watch out for the potholes. What kind of whips them boys riding in up there? They doing the Bentley's and all that? Nah, not necessarily. We don't see that much in our town or something, you know? We into the muscle cars. Oh, really? Yeah, we into the muscle car. We gonna swing. Do you have one? I ain't talking about swinging left and right. We gonna do that, yeah. We gonna swing the cars, 5.0s, we at Box Chevy's, anything sports related, any sports cars, muscle, yeah, we swinging. Do you have one? I don't have one. Was he a dream? It wasn't his thing. That never was my thing. Oh, it's not your thing. I have a brother, my oldest brother. His name is Fattie the Driver. Fattie the Driver gets nasty behind the wheel. He's an icon. Trust me. Trust me. Fattie the Driver. He's a KC side show king. Do you guys know what side shows are? No. I know what it is cause they doing it here. What's your son doing here? But then, okay, that's the new thing. That's the thing that they doing now. But why don't you have a classic car? Why do that? Don't do that with a classic car. So you say when it's, when doing it now, right? So I grew up in an era where we've been doing it, right? We just brought it back. I made it, made it more for the culture. Like we just brought it back. It's a, it's a whole car, the whole car culture. Man, it's crazy. So, but no, we've been doing it. My brother did do it since he was 13, 14 years old. You get the K5, you remember the K5? K5 hit the corner, the four way stop sign and go crazy. I mean, you gotta have full control in the car. You gotta know what you're doing. You gotta be able to put the right amount of pressure on that gas pedal to control that car. Swing, fishtail on out of there and get on out of there. Save man. Can you do it? I used to be able to. I haven't done it in a while. So I won't be able to be like, yeah, you know, my handles is tight. I'll be dead wrong if I said that, right? But no, my brothers do. My oldest and my youngest brothers, they do it. They do it. And they know a lot of people who do it. We've done multiple events for the sideshow community, trying to bring everybody together. When you're doing it illegally, it's a lot of shoot them up, bang man, that can happen. What's the, I'll ask, what is the, you know, what's the thing in Missouri that really, you know, the food just says barbecue. But I mean, what's the, what's the historical, something there that history, you know, you gotta be something historical there. I say the jazz district. Okay. That's hot. Now we talking. Yeah, we got real pumped up when you said that. Yeah, for sure. I don't know. Is it good in comparison to Memphis? We went down to Memphis, you know. I would say, I would say yes. Really? Yeah, I would say yes. I would say yes. But before I go through the whole historical debate, I don't know a whole lot of big names to say right now. But we have a whole history. You got Ozzy Hayes from down there. Yeah. But down where? In Memphis. In Memphis? Yeah. That's hard to compare to anybody. Them boys down there, we went down there. They having a good time. Who? Parker Square? Charlie Parker Square. Charlie Parker Square. What at? It's the jazz district. So we have a whole district of what's that boy Kenny G, he from where he from? Nah, he ain't from Kansas City. Where that boy from? I don't know where he from. I like Kenny G though. Me too. Shout out to Kenny G, man.  We be seeing you. Shout out to Kenny G. He's smooth with it. Yeah, he's smooth.  Kenny G. Oh lord. I wouldn't. I wouldn't. But yeah, that's got the 18th Divine District. It's known for the arts and jazz. It's a lot of restaurants that just popped up down there. It's our black district. So we got the Casey Juke House. On Monday nights, they have this thing called Soul Sessions. Man, it's the number one spot for people who do spoken word. All kinds of stuff, man. Spoken word, my guy Simeon the Jets marks my barber and them like that. They put the events down there. Really, really, really nice, man. So yeah, that's Kansas City. But I would say barbecue. The car culture. OK. And the women are beautiful. Y'all wear them Co-Hun shoes? The who? Co-Hun. What kind of shoes y'all be wearing? Dress shoes. What y'all be wearing? We're all kind of different things, man. Oh yeah, what's that rapper name down there?

But before he got that carcassian following, he had the town on lock. Did he? On lock. He made music for the hood. And when he did, it was really, really nice. He had some bangers that still get played to this day. I'm glad you said that, man. You know what? Top three artists of all time. Is it Tech Nine one of them? In the top all time. Yeah, all time.

Well, I said, I'm going to stop. Don't make me a meme about this. Oh, they hit it, though. I'm going back. I can't go too far from the town. I have to go with my personal experience. I'm going to get to you real. I don't listen to a whole lot of mainstream music. OK. I'm giving it to you real. So I like Ron, Ron. He's from the town. His name is Ron, Ron. He was OK. Yeah, he's number one. Ron, Ron, that's my number one. Ron, Ron, number one. And like I said, I go with with my personal experiences. My number two would be Nipsey Hussle. Nipsey shot out Nipsey shot out Black Sam's brother, man. That's that's the whole game in that family over there. Yeah, sure. I rock with him for sure. When you talk about the independent grind. Oh, you can't you can't take nine on that way over that level. Definitely over that level, actually. Man, he's there. He's right. But I'm telling you, he was doing it from the jump. Yeah, he 40 in them. Yeah, 40 in the click, man. I master P. Yeah. That grind is for real. The independent grind. So you said. Ron, Ron, Ron, Ron, Nipsey Hussle. And who's your third? Number three, my third. Oh, of all time, right? Dead or alive. Dead or alive. Any genre. Any genre. I've been I've been on a different kick right now. And I'm going to go a whole another whole another way. OK, I'm going to go what I'm feeling right now. OK, I'm more of a lover board these days. OK, I'm listening to a guy named Alan Stone. Shout out, Alan Stone. You made the boys roster. Yes, Alan Stone, Ron, Ron, Nipsey and Alan Stone. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Those are my three. Top three artists of all time from the Coop in the building. Come on, man. There it is right there. Yeah, man. Is Alan Stone a local artist? Nice from Seattle. He's a white guy from Seattle. Oh, thank you, man. He has a really nice voice. He's an R&B artist. So I say a mixture of Stevie Wonder with Robin Thicke. OK, you get Alan Stone. Smooth, smooth. I like your top three. Yeah, well, thanks. I like them.  What would you say? Well, I say from then from now, from now to then, I would say what would you tell him? I would tell him. You're sitting right beside him. Yeah. What would you say? That's what I would say to him.  Already. Break the barriers, kick down the doors, build the relationships. The relationships will get you where you need to go. You'll be on the big stage in no time. Cool. That's what I'll tell you. That's real.  How is that far as getting drumming up the shows and stuff? Do you think if you were of another race, would it be easier or would it be the same battles that you face trying to build up a game show? That's a good question. Thank you. I think, well, we know how the systematic racism is. No, no, no. Yeah, I get where you're going. I'm asking you. That's a good question. But I want you to tell me if you feel like those barriers would be a little bit less intense. Those barriers are going to always be intense. I don't think it'll be a problem for me. I dwell more in those uncomfortable situations than most people I know. So trying to break down those barriers, if I knew what you're going to try to throw at me, I'll be able to block it in a way and redirect the conversation to get back to the point, to make you have to make a decision not based off of anything else, but where we are right now and what's being presented. Wow. I would say that. Wow. So I've been in those tough conversations with people, white and black, and I've had to deal. We had to deal. We got a willing deal in this thing. Do you like you rock with J. Cole in that middle child? Yeah, for sure. For sure. I rock with J. Cole all the way around the cold world. All the way around the border, I rock with J. Cole. I just thought you fit in that whole scenario, right? Yeah. What you mean? He got this song, don't he? You called middle child? Yeah. Had you the middle child? Yeah, I am the middle child. OK, I'm just asking, man. Wake up, Coo. For sure, my bad. Wake up, Coo. I'm not a little whampy. D-Coo been in the house, y'all. Way out of Missouri, man. Can't see the Missouri in the building. I'll tell you, brother. Let me ask you a question. Yeah, I know, but let me ask you another question. Talk to me. That boy, Eddie Griffith. Yeah. Yeah, shout out to that boy. I think he didn't want to call us, call us. He from up that way. I don't know if it. I'm from Kansas City. There it is. I told you. Missouri. Say, man, I'm not playing. I'm not playing. No games in there. I do a head up view. Do you hear me? Come on, man. I'm just from the dome. Like, he's got freestyle. I do mine like that, like boom, boom, boom. I'm dropping them.

He have a good time. And he go hard and hard as time. Now he goes on. He's been in a lot of big, big old school movies. Like, he slept on the bench. And all kind of stuff to get in movies.  So, you know, shout out to that boy, man, because he did things like jump. That mean going somewhere you never been before and saying, I'm going to take a shot at it. And a lot of people don't take a shot at it. And that's why they don't never know that they could have went the extent that they could go. Then he brought it back to the town, man. That's what's up. That Malcolm and Eddie really did a great show. Malcolm and Eddie streamed out of there? Yeah, I don't know if they streamed out of there, but they had the backdrop. Really, for the city? Yeah, so when they did the show, they said it was in Kansas City. On the show, they said, you know, that was placed in Kansas City. That was dope. That's real dope. He actually comes back to the city and does, he's big on boxing. So he comes back to talk to the kids and do the boxing programs with the kids. Say, look, check it out, man. My boy, man, Eddie, make sure you tap in the boss talk one-on-one, man. We got one of your natives here. He really, he talking that talk for you, man. And at the end of the day, if you come through Dallas, Texas, we hear a baby, you can come on the show, man. Special shout out to that boy, Eddie Griffin. Eddie Griffin, big shout out to Eddie Griffin. Yeah, is anybody else I'm missing up there in Kansas? I mean, it may be somebody else. I mean, is it somebody that I'm missing? Other than, like my brother, Faddy, Faddy the Driver. Faddy the Driver. I'm always looking for him. So you say he like a legend? Local legend right now when he comes to the car scene and spending the tires, he has smoked the tires, not the homies, as an organization. We do, he does a lot of non-violent events to try to showcase the car scene. That's hot. To give him a place to spend. Taking him out off that other cell. Yeah, yeah. And so, but it's a lot of local artists there. I would hate to name drop it down, name the right people. So I'm not even gonna do that.  Yeah, I'm not going back home to that. Nah. Not already. So what's the, what's the plan?  Yes, sir, he did. Already, man. So, you know, I think you did tell us, did you tell me Instagram handle and everything? Oh, I don't know. Let's go with it. Let's go with it. I want to make sure you get that out there to the masses. To the masses. Come on now. My name is D. Coop. I'm your host for the most. D. Coop in the building. You know, give it up for it. Man, hold up. Hey, check me out on Instagram at the ultimate game night. Facebook the same. YouTube, same thing. We do birthday parties, baby showers, weddings, anything that you have, any game show, game night ideas. Reach out to me. We'll do it virtually or in person. I bring the buzzards or bring the fun and it's going to be a great time.  We want to try to bring some people in, sitting in those chairs and basically rock out with y'all. I just want to make sure we do that. And you don't have any children or you do? I have two. How old are they? Boy and a girl, my daughter is two going on three, 15, I mean, she's really old. Okay. She's two going on three. And then my son is six. Shout out to your son is six. What I want to try to do is on fathers, well, a week before father's day, I'm putting together a deal where virtually we can link up and we can do something to show the black unity and how the black father is still in the children's life. And we have some fathers and sons here as well. And so we're going to do a whole podcast for about a couple hours just on the fact, you know, and then put it out on father's day so that people can see the unity and the fact that brothers like yourself step up to the plate and take care of their children. I'm not running from it, man. That's my biggest blessing, man. I love my children's lives. Shout out to Boss Talk 101, because we do things a little different and we try to bring y'all to awareness that black brothers are stepping up and we're trying to do different if we aren't doing right. Even you brothers that aren't doing right, I'll let your boys see unique hustle. There we go. Yeah, but so let's talk about your son again. What's the difference between your son and your daughter? Let's hit that for you. What's the difference in their attitude?  Oh, they both, yeah, they both like me. My daughter is obsessed with me. I can't go anywhere without her accent. She's in that do-y stage. Y'all act alike? Right now, I don't know what... I would say so. Me and my daughter, she's a... Man, you see that million-dollar smile? My son for sure. He said the daughter first. He said the daughter first. And then he said the son who was older. I checked him out. Yeah, my daughter's a handful. I love her to death. My son, he's starting to feel himself a little bit more. That's good. And so that's the beautiful part of it. I love the fact that he can understand. He can articulate his perspective. And it's not like Jaded. It's how he feels. And he can handle any adversity that comes his way right now. Not any. Not any. But the adversity that comes his way right now, he can handle it. Yeah, that's what's up, man. So we thank you for coming on the show. That's how you break it all the way down. I hear my voice drop down in tempo like that. We appreciate you for coming on the show. We love you. That's something I tell all my guests, man. For sure. We love you and we definitely appreciate you.

Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Epcot for the International Flower and Garden Festival 2022 I'm so excited to go around world showcase Look at some beautiful flowers and eat some delicious food and just have a wonderful Epcot kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this There are so many things to look forward to this year at the flower and garden festival And we're gonna try to cover as much as we can I want to at least try to eat one thing from each of the food boots Check out all the topiaries and also all the activities that you get to do and I'm excited. It's gonna be a beautiful day First things first we have to grab our festival passport And then I think we're gonna head straight back to world showcase so we could start getting in line for some of the Food boots usually on opening day There's long long lines to get some of the food items and like I said We're gonna do our best and try to try a little sample of everything. I Always try to formulate a plan on how I want to go around world showcase, but then I never follow it I kind of just wing it after that But I do think of things certain places I do want to stop like I want to go try some of the orapas and Always I have to see the butterfly tent so I think we're gonna go to the butterfly tent first Bambi's butterfly house is one of my favorite things about flower and garden festival Every single year that they have the butterfly house I always end up getting a butterfly land on me one time it landed on my nose one time it landed on my shirt And I feel like that's a sign of good luck So I always start out there to give me good luck around world showcase Look at all the Bambi topiaries and you can see some butterflies outside already But right inside is the butterfly house and that's where all the butterflies are just roaming around free So I'm so excited to go in look at I can see the shadows. We can see butterfly shadows.  Hopefully Just be very very quiet. I Don't only attract bees, but I do attract butterflies as well Look at all of them though Like there's so many butterflies. There's three of them flying together right here. That is so pretty It was there. Oh Okay, so one landed on me just for a second and that's good enough for me now I got my good luck for the day. It's time to head on in Our first stop of the day is going to be here at sunshine griddle Brunch bites and beverages and look at the long long line and it seems like they have a pretty interesting Menu here. They have the avocado toast the shrimp and grits the corned beef brisket hask fried cinnamon roll bites Fruit loop shake. I remember the fruit loop shake from last year and I don't know Maybe we'll do some cinnamon roll bites a little brunch, you know Normally the sunshine griddle is the donut box and they usually serve donuts there But they kind of redid it for flowering gardening festival and it's a bunch of a brunch bite. So I'm excited Here is the fried cinnamon rolls and look at that. Is that bacon on top? That's bacon Candy bacon fried cinnamon rolls. Oh, wow, I'm excited. I like how they add a little bacon on there And it's dusty. It's very dusty Look at how amazing that is. Oh, I love it a lot It's like honestly it has like a churro feel to it, but oh, yeah, and the icing on the inside I believe as well. Oh, yeah, right there. That's the stuff Now that I found all of that like icing on the inside I had to go back for a second bite because I feel like I missed it on the first one. So here we go Oh Yeah, big difference Now we've made it into world showcase the birds are flying around The flowers are in bloom and the lines are forming at the Mexico booth I feel like that was a nice little rhyme and I kind of am proud of myself my friends I Want to show you guys some of the festival merchandise because they have a festival market booth right here And I kind of like the Spirit Jersey. I think it's really really nice. I like the colors I like orange bird though And I'm glad to see it's not a repeat of Festival of the Arts with the figment popcorn buckets. Everything seems a little bit more relaxed Here is the original Florida orange bird Spirit Jersey and like I said, I like this a lot this is really really nifty and They also have think orange ballcats some coffee mugs here. Oh, I like the coffee mugs some hats there Original like shirts over here. They're all really really nice. I love the color orange Before we make it to any of the countries I wanted to stop at the impossible stand here They have a lot of cool items. They have grilled baby vegetables impossible sausage and soup Impossible sausage and kale soup a boneless impossible Korean short-rab Chocolate cake. I mean this all sounds pretty amazing. Not too sure what I'm gonna get but I do want to try it Luckily there is no line for the impossible stand so we're gonna be able to get our food very quickly But that's probably gonna be the last of that once we actually get into the world showcase itself. The lines will probably be much longer. I Went with the impossible Korean short ribs and look at this. I'm very excited to try something like this It's gonna be something a little bit different. Normally. I don't try the impossible items But why not why not mix it up a little bit? Oh Boy, yeah, it's gonna either be another success or another bone marrow. Oh wow It actually falls apart pretty easily and grab a little veggies grab a little rice all in one bite This is kind of interesting. I mean I'm excited a lot of people say it's really really good So here we go one bite a little bit of everything on there Wow That is amazing that's impossible that's not real Wow, I'm still kind of shocked by the Korean short rib. It was amazing It tasted just like the real thing and that's something I will definitely get again and we made our way over to China and It looks like this booth is super popular. Look at all the lines here They actually have I think three switchbacks there and it kind of looks like all the same things that they had before I've had almost everything from here last year. I don't see anything different So I think we'll move straight on over to Germany but I'm hoping to make a big lap right around and then catch everything that we don't do on the way back around I've noticed a lot of the food items are the same exact items from last year at certain boots So I'm gonna keep my eye out for any new items But yeah, like I said, we're gonna keep moving around and make our way just around world showcase Before we make it to Germany. I wanted to stop at the refreshment outpost It looks like they got the pineapple skewer and then also a tangerine Cream ale which is kind of fitting for flower and garden festival because of like the orange bird so it's kind of like a tangerine like I'm thinking like an orange like beer and Since we've already had one like dessert one entree now It's time for a drink dessert entree drink, you know that kind of nice good rotation Once I got up there I was kind of fixated on the tangerine cream ale But I didn't even notice that they have a blueberry lemonade cider and I don't like ciders that much But I kind of thought blueberry lemonade sounded really refreshing so I decided to get that as well Look at them though. Aren't they so pretty? This is the blueberry Lemonade hard cider and then this is the tangerine cream ale and I'm excited this one tastes like oranges Obviously, this one's blueberry lemonade and I'm not gonna drink both of them I'm actually gonna share some with my friends, but they look so fancy. Don't they I love it I think we're gonna try the tangerine cream ale and like I said I'm expecting a lot of like tangerine orange flavors in here So we're gonna go there's not a lot of foam on top though. They kind of both look like ciders Oh, that's good. Oh, that's much too good. Wow. I like that a lot It deserves a second sip And this right here is the blueberry Lemonade cider and this is probably the more prettier one I feel like this is something that could have been at Festival of the Arts with the blueberry beer and I kind of like it Cheers to the fancy beers at the refreshment outpost. They always coming through like some special stuff I always come here if you want to look for a different type of beer around World Showcase and Here we go.  It is really refreshing though This is something you could probably walk around and drink with and just feel nice and refreshed around World Showcase I might get another one of these eventually when I come back Yeah, if I had to choose I would do the Tangerine ale the cream ale but the blueberry likes this is like a refreshing drink, you know what I mean? But it's an expensive refreshing drink. I much rather get like a non-alcoholic beverage But to drink a beer. I think it would be the tangerine cream ale It's not too hoppy at all the cream ale and it does just taste like an orange creamsicle beer So like I said, this is the one I would want to drink for beer purposes But the blueberry lemonade is more of a refreshing beverage though, but cheers cheers to power garden festival Kristen is taken over the blueberry lemonade cider Do you like it though? I think it's refreshing like, you know, you walk around the hot sun. Oh, definitely. Yeah A refreshing beverage. Yes Here is the Germany booth and it looks like they have the potato pancakes with the housemaid applesauce And then the warm cheese strudel along with a couple of beer flights But let me tell you something. This is one of the longest lines of the festival. Isn't it? Yeah, right? You're great, right? Look at this. Holy moly. I would probably I think there's two cashiers up there So I probably say about like 15 minutes right here Maybe 20 minutes and that's not too bad, but sometimes it could be like 30 45 minutes So it's it's definitely a difficult Boot to actually get stuff from the food in Germany is pretty amazing the potato pancakes I've had them before but the topiaries are the best. Look at these Look at how cool.  I feel like dopey is snow white's favorite seven dwarf like look at that That is amazing Best topiaries right here, I feel like and I haven't even made it all the way around but I love it Now we've made it to the Italy booth and a lot of people don't like to actually stop at this booth because it's very expensive like super expensive the orange Arancini is $14 ravioli is $13 as you can see it's very high prices and Probably low portions, but I kind of want to show off what they got here I mean, I'm excited to try the ravioli because it's sweet sausage ravioli with the sweet corn and Spring vegetables and a cream sauce So I think we're gonna try both a little bit of orange Chini and ravioli might as well, but it's gonna be $27 I have to say normally I am one of those people that will skip over this booth But I'm excited to give it a shot and let you guys know like is it kind of worth? You know like that high price take because it is definitely the most expensive food of the festival So as long as the quality is up there, I think it might be worth it, but we're gonna find out Here is the arancini. It's fried risotto balls with braised beef great tomato salad and also Balsamic and I think it looks really really good to give you four of them And then here is the ravioli and I think there's four ravioli as you guys have the ravioli how many raviolis are in there There's four Yeah, three or four. We don't know yet. Well, I mean they're kind of camouflaged in there But we're gonna try them and I'm excited for the ravioli because it is a sweet sausage ravioli I don't know how I like the cream sauce though Is it good?  We're gonna dive right in here Well that's pretty good wow Yeah, holy moly These are really really good and they're fresh and like kind of crispy and they're not soggy at all So I do like it. I don't taste must I don't taste like a lot of the braised beef in there though I just take the root I taste the risotto mainly but very very good And now we're gonna try a little bit of the ravioli here. Look at that. Oh, I think I got four in there I must have got lucky, but it kind of looks hollow so you can see where the sausage is actually in there It's right there right where the fork is a Little ravioli. I like the way it's just kind of sitting on the fourth there I could cut it open. I should cut it open and see what it looks like on the inside But like I said, I don't think I don't think there's a lot of like sweet sausage in there So we're just gonna we're just gonna go for it all in one bite Okay The ravioli all day ravioli is the best wow I Would choose the ravioli over this any day This is really really good and the sauce isn't that bad either You know, I don't like a lot of cream sauce, but it is so good also though I did get the top one so these ones down here might be a little bit more mushier because they've been sitting in the sauce But that is phenomenal Even though I really really loved the ravioli I don't know if it's worth like the high price. I feel like you can get two items basically for one item at Italy I mean, it is very good though. Don't get me wrong. If anything, I feel like the ravioli was my favorite out of both of them I feel like the air and Chini could use like some Sunday gravy or some marinara sauce That would have been like a little nice mix up with it, but yeah, very good Now it's time. We make our way over to America and also I totally forgot that it is Frushi season because of flour and garden. Hi friend So we're gonna be able to get frushi once we get to Japan, but first we're gonna stop into America for Magnolia Terrace They always have some good food there and we're definitely gonna be getting something. I Feel like we got a little off track with our rotation there I was going like, you know sweets and then like savory and then drink but over at Magnolia Terrace They might have a couple of different things that I want to try and also Trying to show you guys as much of the topiaries as I can because those are like some of the best things about the festival They're so pretty and I think in America. They've got Pluto Right here is the American booth and like I said, you got Pluto over there Oh, you also got Chip and Dale and it's so pretty and here is The booth itself and it looks like it's a little bit crowded but not too bad The lines are actually better than festival of the arts I can tell you that like right now so far. We've been able to get in a lot of them without having to wait long at all Here is a look at the menu at the Magnolia Terrace and they've got southern seafood boil chicken gumbo spicy chicken gumbo grilled Oysters house-made Boudin bites Pecan praline and it all looks good and then also we get a beer flight our first beer flight of the day So I think we're gonna try a little bit of the gumbo a little bit of the Boudin bites And maybe a beer flight. I feel like that's a good combination. I Really hope I was able to say Boudin, right? Well, I remember the last time I said Boudin Boudin Boudin Boudin, but I think I got it down pat now Looking them back there making up the oysters.  Yeah, it's definitely This one's really where the heart. Yeah, this is the art right here I love it Look at this skill right here I'm carrying I'm carrying the the Gumballaya the beer flight and then also the balls here So don't lose them feet.  Don't fail me now So I ended up getting the gumbo and the Boudin bites and my friend Kristen got the oysters And then promise got the seafood boil. So we got a little bit of everything We got the whole booth. We got the whole booth The oysters they have a nice like panko breadcrumbs like a toast of breadcrumbs on them That's the way And you've got the seafood boil I know more flavor look at this We can you know how we do Nate a little crawdaddy, huh? Here is the gumbo in the Boudin balls I got one without the sauce because I wasn't sure if I was gonna light the sauce and then of course We've got the beer flight and I'm shocked because of how light it looks It looks super light and one of them's a double IPA. I kind of took the card away So I don't know which one is which I guess we're gonna find out as we drink them But they all look the same like they all look so light But that could be dangerous because you would drink them fast in regardless. I'm gonna drink them fast I'm not gonna drink the beer first because I do hear that the gumbo is super spicy So we're gonna need something to wash it down with afterwards, especially if it is spicy because you know I'm not a big spice eater. So at least we have the beer as a backup Here is the gumbo look at this Oh, yeah, this is gonna be good and he can tell it definitely has a little spice to it So we're gonna grab a big bowl big a big bite. I wish I had some jumbo Liar to go with the gumbo so I can have some gumbo Liar, but just the gumbo today So we're gonna we're gonna go in for it here Oh, that's good, that's better than French Quarter That's a good portion two for six twenty five and it definitely has some spice It took like five seconds for it to kick in and now I'm feeling it. I'm feeling a little spice there I like it though It is really really good and I got a little a little pro tip that said I had to mix this with that So we're gonna have to do that but first we have to try it So I'm gonna try the boot and ball or the boot and bite First without the sauce and then I'm gonna mix it with the gumbo a little bit and here we go That's good Wow Both of these are a home run I really love it This is nice and crispy and now we're gonna we're gonna add a little bit of the gumbo To the bites and make a little Bowden gumbo bites doesn't that sound good? All right, here we go Oh, yeah, he was right that is the way Yep Out of everything that we've had so far today This is my favorite like I know it's so funny because it's the America Pavilion But when we still have some things to get to but this is so great like the combination And I think it's just the way I like food like I love gumbo. I love jumbalaya. You guys know what I like and This is just right up my alley I also think it's like not your normal American food. It's not true It's like America is a melting pot is no Ireland. Yeah Flavors like this is what America food is supposed to be. Yes a good representation. Yep, and barbecue. Yes, yep Now it's time to try the different beers the beer flight. Like I said, I don't know which one is which the first one on the list says it is a 81 Bay Brewing Company orange wheat ale so it's either gonna be that or the double IPA So I guess we'll find out once we sip it and drink it then I'll find out which one is which and they're little tiny little tiny cups here So here you go first one. Is it gonna be the double IPA or is it gonna be the orange wheat ale? We'll find out Oh That's the IPA That's the IPA so then this one over here must be the weak orange wheat ale And the IPA was really really good like I like that actually it's very smooth not too hoppy at all. Oh Yeah, this is great this orange wheat ale that is phenomenal. Holy moly. I Like that better than the tangerine cream ale And then this one must be the American light ale by wicked weed brewing company and this looks so light It looks almost like a cider doesn't it but we'll give it a go. Oh Yeah, that's good too all of these were home runs, but the orange wheat ale was the best in my opinion I mean, I'm not a big IPA drinker, but this one is this is light and refreshing Now you don't need to get the flight itself you can actually get full-sized beers if you wanted to but I would get a full-sized orange Weed ale over the like I said the cream ale the tangerine cream ale. This was phenomenal Now it's time to move along and we're heading to Japan for some fruit. She I love the fruit She and I'm excited that we get to try it today They have a lot of different things on the menu here. They have the fruit. She they have the beef the chicken But you know, of course, we're here for the fruit. She or actually, you know what the pineapple Nigeri sake sounds pretty amazing as well, but I think I'm all about the fruit. She I Am pretty positive the most popular food item here at Epcot's flowering garden festival has to be the fruit She I mean the hype is real people get super excited about it and of course we got to do it I mean, I do love it. It is really really tasty And from someone who doesn't like sushi, it's kind of like an escape or it's kind of like saying Yeah, I've eaten sushi before but I have had sushi before and this is this is really good Here it is we get four little pieces and it's got pineapple Strawberries whip cream.  Oh look at that. That's a perfect bite There we go. It's time. It's sushi time And we're gonna try it. I'm so pumped. I've been waiting for basically the whole year to actually try this again Wow So good It's so good. I think I'm going back for more Keeps me coming back for more Baby you're all that I need And I found it here in Fruci Now that the Fruci business is taken care of we decided to move along and we came up to where the incanto booth was Professor of the arts and I remember a lot of people being upset that they didn't have Arapas on the menu. Well, I guess during Flower and Garden they decided to just make a whole menu about Arapas They actually went so far to add all Arapas so they added three Arapas to the menu to kind of overcompensate for the lack of Arapas for Professor of the arts So they actually have an Arapa with queso So they have a queso Arapa then they have a shrimp and crust avocado Arapa and then Arapa topped with chorizo And I think I'm gonna go with the chorizo one I got it right here my friend picked it up for me and she's getting the queso one So I'm excited. It looks pretty good. It doesn't look like the original Arapas that I would normally see or get but it's worth the try Here is promises queso Arapa and she got two. I guess I guess I only get one with the chorizo Yeah, but doesn't yours just look so plain. It looks like a little personal pan pizza Doesn't it? Yeah, it looks like a little tiny pizza or it looks like the back-to-the-future pizza that they put in the machine To grow like the full one Mine was only five dollars Yeah, this was six dollars that means I should get more Arapas though So I'm not too sure what to expect here And I don't even know how to eat it because it's kind of like I wish I could just like push it on top I think that's what I'm gonna do I'm gonna push it on top of the Arapa and then I'm just gonna take a bite like a pizza that looks good It's more like chips and dip. All right, we're just gonna bite on into it here Okay This is good, okay This is good.  It's actually pretty firm So you can just kind of like dip and then like kind of like bite into it kind of like a little Lunchable I Actually might like the chorizo more than I like the Arapa itself just the chorizo on itself You want to try that you want to try some? Like it's really really good Like I could just eat a bunch of that Now that we had some of the chorizo Arapa I think it's time to get a little something sweet and since France is right next door I think we're gonna get the creme brulee beignet a creme brulee beignet for $5.75 I had this before and it is really really good and they also have the Grand Mamosa here the Grand Mamosa cocktail, which is really good as well They have tons of stuff and of course the rosé frozen slush such a classic drink here for flower and garden Here is the creme brulee beignet and does not look so good Looks like a donut doesn't it and it's so funny because we just had like some gumbo And they had like the seafood boil and now we're having some beignets And it's still technically Mardi Gras yesterday was fat tuesday and uh, we're going all in here Luckily with this beignet, we don't end up getting powdered sugar all over ourselves But we might get some of the creme brulee on us. So we're gonna just bite on in here Oh, wow This is good. Yeah. Oh, no this really? Oh, oh lord. I gotta I gotta take a deeper bite That's where it's at. Oh, yeah, I like it Look at this right here. I love it The filling is where it's at though and it is such a delicious little treat I wish we could get it hot though because it is a little cold I don't think they do hot ones like hot beignets because you need that But this is this is probably a much more pleasurable like sweet treats so far that I've had at the festival I think I'm actually gonna finish this up here because it is so good Much too good Now we have made it to the northern bloom which is over in canada And it looks like they've got some scallops some beef tenderloin tips with mushroom bolognese sauce Whipped potatoes and garden vegetables and then a griddle maple pound cake the griddle maple pound cake sounds interesting They also have a beer flight that pretty much has a gluten-free Blond ale and then a brewing blueberry fruit beer and an apricot maple syrup beer I think I might do the beer flight and that's probably I think that's it Here is the beer flight and this is the gluten-free beer look fancy Oh boy So I opted in to get the maple pound cake and then also the beer flight because they kind of looked Interested I mean I like anything with maple in it and also I'm a little intrigued to try the glutenberg. I think that sounds I mean, it's kind of cool Here is everything that I got and the beer flight just looks like almost all the beer flights kind of seem light today They have a blueberry fruit beer in the center there and then here is the cake itself Look at it's got popcorn on it and there's the pound cake in the back. This is going to probably be delicious I feel like It's funny because we decided to come back over where the dvc state is and this is where we had our bone marrow incident last time For festival of the arts, but I can say it like bone marrow incident It's just so funny because it was just a big group of people Which giant bones in their hands eating marrow and I don't know. I just thought it was funny Paging the mr. Marrow like it was it was a good time Let's try the cake first and I'm gonna try to get a little bit of everything in one bite You know what I mean because I want to get something I want to try it all at once get a little popcorn in there It's really awesome because the popcorn is the maple popcorn that they serve over at the popcorn stand in Canada. So here we go That's good The peaches are a really good combination the cake is nice and soft And you add a little of the popcorn on there now the popcorn's not like, you know soft popcorn It's more like a caramel popcorn because that's how the maple one is but this is so good I like it Now we're gonna try the glutenberg and ali at ali wood studio. She's gluten-free. She got excited for the beer Is it good? It's gluten-free. You would never know never know. Well, I'm gonna find out It's all right. I love it. I love it. It's good, right? Yeah, you can't tell that's gluten-free That's actually a really good beer. That's not bad at all. It's good That was really impressive and now we're gonna try the apricot maple syrup one. Look at this. I'm gonna try to pull it out This actually seems like it's gonna be a little bit interesting too a little bit of apricot a little bit of maple Oh, I don't like that No, no, no David. No, no David I'm not a big fan of fruit beers So I feel like this one isn't going to be my favorite flight of the festival I still think america is probably my favorite flight, but we're going to try the blueberry fruit beer here A little fruit beer Well, that's not bad. It's not sour either. This actually is really good I like this a lot better than the apricot maple one I still like the america beer flight better Now it's time we made our way to the honey bistro and I'm sorry. I feel like we're moving along pretty quickly today I'm shocked because I wasn't expecting the crowds to be this light. I thought it was going to be super busy But it's actually really amazing how small the cues are and they have a lot of great things here Of course, they have the cornbread and they have the lavender honey mustard marinated chicken flatbread I think that's a new item along with the wildflower honey mascarpone cheesecake and a lot of good stuff This is one of the places where you can buy the spike the bee souvenir zipper and it's not a big craze like figment The figment popcorn bucket, but I remember this one last year and a lot of people liked it Take a look at the honey mustard chicken flatbread. This looks really really good And it's so funny because you know, you wouldn't expect something like this to be at a honey bee stand You know what I mean? So it's really interesting and I'm excited to see it. There's ricotta on there. I believe so it might be pretty good We got a little mini flatbread review. You can see the crust on the bottom there. The undercarriage looks pretty good And uh, I'm gonna go all in. I don't like honey mustard that much. So I'm gonna see how I like this And uh, I don't know I'm a little nervous, but we're going for it Oh That's good This crust though is probably my favorite thing out of everything. It is so good I I I would probably get this again, but my go-to is going to be the cornbread. It is so phenomenal I can't believe we made our way all the way around world showcase And uh, there's still a lot of things that we didn't get to try so there are going to be Parts two and three to flower and garden festival I want to make my way back out to spaceship birth area because the past two festivals They've been doing a special show for festival of the arts. They had the muppets on spaceship birth So i'm interested to see if they're going to do anything special from flower and garden And we're going to wait out there until the first performance to find out On our way back out to spaceship birth though. I did want to stop at the epcot farmers feast This is one of the more popular boots and when I was coming in it was very busy So I skipped over it, but they have a charred grilled bison rib eye That looks so amazing and it's with creamy leek fondue Roasted cauliflower and a port wine goat cheese butter and I'm so excited for I think I'm going to try it They also have like a hibiscus lemonade cocktail And uh, yeah, I'm happy we came back out for this This I am excited for I love bison and this looks like something that I would probably order in a restaurant And uh, I think it's going to be the last item of the day our last food item So we're definitely come back and try some more, but I think I tried like 17 items. So let's that's that's pretty impressive Look at that.  That's the way good job. Thank you. I can't wait to try it Oh my lord and here it is. I have a feeling This is going to be my favorite thing of the festival.  Look at this. I can't get over it This is unbelievable. We're just going to go right on it. We're going to dive in We got a lot of good other things that go along with it some fried cauliflower here and oh my it gets It looks amazing doesn't it Look at that juice just dripping off of it. Holy moly That's it folks. We're calling it My favorite thing in the menu my favorite thing of the festival right here I have to say though if you want like more of a rarer cooked meat You have to ask like you have to say hey, I want a little bit rarer And they will accommodate it and this is phenomenal though phenomenal We're going to soak up all of that juice and that goat cheese butter and just get a nice good piece of meat This is by far like I said the favorite of the festival for me here Just it's perfect. It's perfect That one took so long Now we're going to make our way up to space your bird so we can see what the special Projection show is going to be. I'm so excited. They've been doing such a great time Like a great thing with these and I feel like it's like the best thing to come out of the 50th So I'm ready to see the flowering garden rendition first we have to say Happy birthday to Jackie Super and there's happy birthday today is the day today is her birthday So be on the lookout for her video. She was going around enjoying her birthday doing all the festivities and you have fun Yeah, yeah, great day. I'm like great. We love this festival and it's amazing. It's so good. It's like a favorite, right? Yeah, definitely. Yeah, but look at this now. Look at it. Look at us. Look at us Okay, so colors of the wind was good It was just a little bit soft and I couldn't hear anything But I like the Muppets a lot better and I think to cap off the night. I think we're gonna go for a night ride on test track Looks like the wait time is 50 minutes and there's approximately six of us. So we're gonna have a car of our own Well, it definitely wasn't 60 minutes. I would say probably 50 I mean it definitely wasn't 50 minutes. I would say probably 30 minutes and that's like a little bit more better But I'm excited.  With that, I think we are done here today. What an epic opening day for flower and garden festival I know it was probably a lot But I was trying to cover as much as I can to show you guys And it was great that I get to be with a big group of people and we get to Actually show off the food and try it all together so that way we can accomplish and show more And uh, I had a lot of fun. I think my number one item is still going to be the bison ribeye. That was Phenomenal and then uh, probably for like, you know beverages. I really loved the beer flight in America I thought that was really really good And uh, overall I had a lot of fun. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it We'll see you next time. Bye
