Because I'm Jewish.

That's right.

I only sing one eighth of the time, so it works out.

87.5% of the rest of the day, I'm talking.

All right.

It is Cake and Cookies, a podcast to prove that in comparison, your life isn't so shabby. I'm Rob Spiewak, Cake. And I'm Katie von Herman, Cookie. We want to say thank you to Mike and Oscar and Pony. Thank you, Mike, Oscar and Pony. Like Todd Moore. Raindrops on. Very special. What? I can't even. You can even. A very special thank you to Todd Moore. Raindrops on roses. Whiskers on kittens. That's Todd Moore all over. Anyway, we named the network after him. So it is Cake and Cookies. This is our 1,000th episode. And we want to thank you all for joining us. And we have so much to talk about. How have you been? If you haven't gotten to the 999th episode yet, you've got some catching up to do. We've hidden a lot of them on the website. Right. Happy 1,000th episode to you, Cake. And to you, Cookie. Good work. Bravo. Oh, so I went on a little road trip with my dad last week. This is just a brief story that bothered me more than it should have. You didn't start the show, really. Well, I did. Okay. I thanked everybody and said what it is. Okay. Said it's the 1,000th episode. All right. I mean, we've sort of restructured because of the- Yeah, it just felt weird. I don't know why. But yes. And then dude talked and the whole thing. The whole thing. Okay. All right. So I went on this little road trip with my dad. Went to visit my uncle who lives in Charlottesville. My dad's twin, Pete. And Charlottesville is- Now, for everyone who doesn't know, identical, fraternal. Fraternal. Yes. But they're very similar looking, but fraternal. And Charlottesville is where the University of Virginia is. And my dad came and got me in Leesburg. And Leesburg to Charlottesville is about, I would say, 10 miles too long to be a convenient day trip. But we did it anyway. Especially depending on the traffic. Yeah. And we did okay as far as traffic. And my dad, there's no one that I'd rather take a car ride with than my father. We died laughing. It was great. So we get to where approximately where 15 converges with Route 95. And there's a shopping area of restaurants and stuff. And we go to Starbucks to get a cup of coffee. And I'd like to call- Oh, I got a latte. What kind? Vanilla. Mm-hmm. My father got house blend. And so he was served much faster. Does he, how does he take his coffee? Sweet and low. I believe he still uses. The pink one. Yeah. Well, he's old school diabetic. Mm-hmm. Kicking it old school. It's a throwback Thursday on a pancreas weekend. So no cream? No, no. He does the cream too and the sweet and low. Okay. I just, I needed to know. And I do the vanilla latte. So, and that's actually key to the story. Because when you just get a house blend, you're in and out quick. Yes. And me, I require the assistance of the barista. Star. It's like, and this is, this is no shabby Starbucks, the Starbucks that we go to, because they're the kind of a Starbucks that says, we serve beer and wine. It's like Starbucks after dark. Oh, the Starbucks here serves beer and wine. You're in Savannah. This is true. This is true. You gotta keep up. Right. So, and I was. Everyone serves beer and wine in Savannah. It's, it throws you because you get there and there's like the outdoor patio and you see what you see like in a theme park. It says no beer and wine past this fence. I'm like really at a Starbucks. And then I realized it's the modern Starbucks. The modern Starbucks. So we go in and use the facilities because it's what we're on a road trip. And my father hates the Dyson Airblade. I love the Dyson Airblade. Somebody was telling me that they're, they're very, very dirty. But I would like that. They're not a traditional hand dryer. Yes. Very dirty because it sucks up air from underneath, from the floor of the bathroom. Right. But the Dyson Airdryer has been, it, it's got stuff and does stuff to get all the dirt out. And that's why you. It Dysonizes it. I love that thing. I do too. I do too. Anyway, so we go and my father gets it. I blew one of my rings off once. Really? Mm-hmm. You know, that happens once or twice a month. I mean, it just fell down. I just picked it up. I was going to say, if it like blew it away, that thing would pay for itself in a couple weeks. Go to the jewelry catch and see where it is. So my father's out the door in like no time because all they have to do is pour and hand it to him. So I'm waiting for mine. What's your name? Rob with two B's. Rob what? It's Rob. It's Rob. That's fine. And so I see her. Why do you have to? If you're at Starbucks, just say my name is Rob. Well, I mean, then I might as well say my name is Barney because it's not just Rob. Judd is worked up about something. Judd with two D's. Oh God, can you hear her? What's she up to? She's howling. Oh, we got a doggy door. Doggy door. We did. Dan and I actually installed the darn thing. Is it at the sliding door? We don't have a sliding door. Don't you have a sliding door to the very, very back of the house? No, that's French doors. Oh, I see. So you open them with your tongue. Mm-hmm. So did you have to cut into the door? You know how sometimes you, like they have the eye scan for you to open a door? Sure. Not French doors. No, no. No. How did you install it and where is it? It's the door off the kitchen. Okay, the side door. The side door. Because that's where there's little steps and an overhang. Sure. So if they get wet or dirty or whatever, they- They can hang. It's okay. So we installed it there. It's a screen door. Like it's actually a storm door. Okay, okay. So we had to remove the old screen door and it said some assembly required. It took us an entire day. I'm talking it was a 13-hour ordeal to put this thing together and install it. You need to hire somebody for that. Hire another dog. No, it was great. Wasn't great. The only thing that bothered me was when we were putting it together. Yeah. We had it laying on the kitchen counter and the little dog flap was kind of hanging off the one edge. And Dan was underneath it doing something. And I was drilling. Yes. Down into it. And I was like, hey, Dan. And I was taking pictures and I was like, just stick your head up through the dog flap. Like it'll be hilarious. And he refused. Oh my God. You know what? Just when you were telling the story, I thought what a great picture that would be. Even before you said to do it. And I was like, I got my phone. Let's do this. And he absolutely refused. You said, Biebs, I have a camera on my smartphone. He wouldn't do it. You know what? That's not very fun. No. No. I'll speak to him. Thank you. So my father's out the door and I'm waiting for my latte and a very, I will say prototypical Starbucks employee is standing doing nothing. There's someone working the window and that's good. There's two people working the park, park, park, park, park. And you know, they're blowing steam. No, no, no. Mine was really good. Yes. And I mean, and they're doing the whole show. They're blowing steam and doing that hand motion where they wipe off the milk off the spout, which is very entertaining to watch sometimes, depending on who's doing it. Sometimes it's a little off putting. And so I'm waiting and the Starbucks employee who's not doing anything makes eye contact. I'd say she's probably in the middle of her college efforts and she spots a man she knows. And she says, but it's not you. No. Well, I don't frequent that. Let's say his name is, uh, let's say his name is Dan. And she says, Mr. Dan, how have you been? And he's older. He says, very well. Took the wife out to dinner last night for her birthday. And she said, where did you go? Went to a restaurant called Luigi's. And she said, Luigi's. Is it Italian? Oh God. And all I wanted to do was scream. Dad, come back in here. You're not going to believe the conversation that's happening in real life. You see this girl with the purple hair? She heard that a restaurant was called Luigi's and asked if it was Italian. And I had no one to share it with. I don't. Okay. Is that not as, as someone really appreciates humor. The most frustrating thing in the world. It really is the worst thing in the world when there is no one there to witness. I looked around for eye contact of anybody and there was nothing. It's not even if you or I are the ones that are being funny. No, you just want someone to share in the moment. You need an audience for these kinds of things. So, and he said, yeah, it's Italian. And I had an involuntary. I had to stifle laughter. And there was no one to share it with. Did they hear you? No, no. Well, I mean, it was in the middle of this whole pneumonia, right? So I probably called. They're still making your coffee. So I get my latte and I run. My shirt never touches my back. I'm barely. Coffee in one hand. The other hand is just waving madly. Dad, dad, dad. You missed it. You missed it. You missed it. I'm barely bending my knees as I run. I'm kicking my legs out in front of me. I said, you won't believe what I just heard. And I recount the story to him. And he says, of course it's Italian. I go, right? What else? Oh, dear. Well, that was the highlight of my trip. But I didn't have made the whole trip without falling. Oh, well, see, something happened to me when I was. There were no witnesses. I was home alone a couple weeks ago. D
