Let's get started.

That's my Oscar impression.

Excellent.

That's right.

Welcome to Card Counter.

And of course, really what you're looking for.

Let's get started.

Hit the music, Rob.

Michael Lera, Radio Entertainment.

Really?

Over the ID?

Everything's falling off of my face.

Do your thing.

I am, I am.

I gotta find the beat.

Hold on.

Hey there!

This is Katie, with a very hateful thought of the day.

I hate customer care and service representatives who can't be friendly.

Oh, I'm sure the majority of your job is to deal with Cranky McCranksters, who only feed off your

being unfriendly.

Nobody wants to stab a smiling, helpful person, so fake it till you make it.

As for you, Cranky McCrankster customer, find some patience and get happy together.

Everybody's life sucks at some point, so let's just try to make it less sucky all around.

I hate Cranky Service People and the jerks who made them that way.

And you.

I almost forgot to hate you, too.

Thank you.

You're on thin ice.

I'm not on top of my game today.

You're not allowed to burp over the, uh...

I didn't...

The corporate ID.

Sorry.

I know.

You'll be getting a call from Mr. O'Mara.

That's the mothership.

Because, as you know...

If my phone rang from Mike O'Mara, I would be like, oh...

Yeah.

I don't dare answer that phone.

You would be like the secretary.

Yay!

What have I done?

And Ferris Bueller.

And, oh...

Oh!

I was like, you're not. Ms. Powers Von Herman. Is that everybody? Mr. Mermelstein. He's been strangely silent lately. He has been strangely silent lately. But it means he's still, you know what? He's still part of the family. Do you think he is? Well, I don't think there's been a falling out. Have we lost him? I think that he might be out shooting the beautiful fall foliage. He might be. I got a new lens. It really helps capture the reds of the maples. It's quite the time of year for him up there. But I think it's always fall in Vermont, isn't it? Do they have a summer? I don't think so. It might last like a couple weeks. Yeah. And I'm getting apples and cider. All I know is that before Colorado and all their laws came along, Vermont had quite the hold on. But I don't think that's what Steve does. I don't think so either. Steve gets the munchies without pot. He's all engineering and such. He is. And photographs. And memories. I wanted to start off today's show by saying thank you for not wearing a magnetic shirt, which I think is great. I did. You know, I did take. I don't often listen back to the entire episode, but I always do. And I haven't yet. I did last week. And I really enjoyed the sound of your shirt sticking to my desk. Oh, wait a minute. Dan, I did listen to the show this weekend, didn't I? Yeah. Yeah. I was. You still are. I was in a laid up, like lot of pain, drug induced haze. Our lead story today. I was in a haze. That's not how it goes. Our lead story today. Katie, not well. I mean, I'm fine. Hashtag in pain. I am in pain. Hashtag six of ten in pain. I'm about a six right now. Yeah, you are. And ten is the worst. Yeah, I'm about to take off the. If you got. Can you hear this when I do this? Absolutely. Listen to her headphones, folks. Can you actually hear that? Can we get those oiled or replaced or something? I mean, I'll replace them if I can get them so they're not as tight. Well, they're pretty tight. They're pretty tight. Why don't you take them off? You don't need them right now. But I. It's my crutch. I know. I know. What if I told you? Just take off your headphones. I would say. I'm not in pain. There's no reason. And you're sitting there miserable. And you are six out of ten in pain. And keep in mind, ten is the most in pain. Yes. One is the least in pain. Two means you're in a lot of pain. Yes. Three means no pain. Right. Four means moderate pain. I understand how it works. Is the scale not right? Or is it more of a sliding scale? No. So, on top of... Okay. Dan and I went out to dinner on Friday. We had ourselves a double date. Not a supper club. Nope. Nope. A date. A double date. Sure. Our friends... I've gone out with Amy a couple times. She's the fertility specialist that we've talked about. And by the way, this is not a professional relationship. It's a personal relationship. Yes. We met at Lucia's. Yes. You're not trying to get yourself knocked up. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. You and Dan. Although Amy will freely tell all of us, like, the best ways for us to go about it. Well, there's... It's one thing that I love about the woman. There is one sort of commonality in all the different ways. Mm-hmm. And it involves getting it on. On various forms. Yeah. Well, sure. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. When you get to that point where you're visiting the doctor there, it takes all different kinds of ways and shapes and... I mean, did she, like, suggest apparatus or position or... I'm sure she could. But she didn't. No. Because you were having a double date. We're having a double date. I understand. I have a feeling, though, had... Yeah? Had we spent any more time together, I probably would have asked, so is it true? Like, how do you, like, make a boy child? Or how do you... How do you make a boy child? First of all, you set a time machine to 1940. Girls frighten me, so are there certain ways to ensure... To use the word boy child. Now, here's the problem. That's a definite risk, though, because if you were to talk... To her about that, she'd use a word you don't like. Like, coitus. She would. She would. It's medical. I actually think that she... Because we are friends. Yes. We're beyond acquaintances now? Oh, we're very much friends. Okay, good. Very, very much friends. There is some sort of, like, kindred spirit between us. I see. And it's a funny one. But I don't think that's the word she'd say. Okay, good. So would she use a word that could be used as a verb? Yes, and probably a noun. Sure, and an adjective with certain modifications. Definitely. But it's not one that we can use. No. No. No. No. No. Uh-uh. But anyways... How do you make a boy child? I don't know. I didn't ask. You stand on your head? I can find out. Please do. Do you want me to? Well, ultimately, yeah. I don't think it needs to be done tonight. Man, this woman's got some great stories, though. Oh, I bet she has amazing stories. And I... Like, she's told us some stories that I don't... I mean, I wonder if I'd be allowed to repeat. I need to find out. Well, you could repeat them because you don't know who you're talking about, and you haven't revealed her name. Yeah, I did. Well... Yeah, I did. Yeah, but it slipped my mind. Okay. I don't think it would stand up in court. Let me find out what we're comfortable with. Exactly. Anywho. And find out, short of reversing my vasectomy, how to make a boy child. Understood that I'll probably be out of it at this point. Okay. Because I couldn't do it. But you two... Okay. You two could be all in. So we go out to dinner. We went to Ted's Bulletin in Reston Town Center. Ted's Bulletin. Yes. I've never heard of this place. Oh, it's fantastic. Okay. It's kind of got like a West Virginia lean to it. Like, you can get... You mean it's like the building's not tough to code? No, we're talking like fried chicken and prime rib. Comfort food. Oh, yeah. More soul food or more comfort food? Comfort. Is there greens on the menu? Yep. Well, they should wipe that off. A couple different... But like creamed spinach. Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm with you. Okay. Yum. So not... No. No. No. They serve breakfast all day. Okay. Okay. Um... And I ordered a sandwich, which was probably... Why? This is not the best thing to order on the menu. It was... It looked so good. And I was trying to try to stay somewhat healthy. I knew a salad would be crunchy. Right. So I avoided the salad. I was having... I've been having jaw pain for a few days now. People should know your backstory. You've got a history with your jaw. Yeah. I broke it a couple years ago. And sometimes it flares up pretty bad. Right. Especially when... Did I say that fine for you? Yeah. Especially when... The changing of the seasons? When my allergies act up. Or if for any reason my ear or my nose cavity, nasal... Sure. Anytime any of that swells for any reason... It messes everything up. It pushes on my jaw. Understood. And it's not been a favorable allergy time right now. No. It's one of the worst times. It's pretty rotten. So I was trying to kind of go for things. So I was thinking just a sandwich would be... Fairly easy. Yes. And I didn't want something like fried chicken or a prime rib. I knew I couldn't eat steak. More challenging. It gets chewy. Sure. There's a whole bunch of things. Okay. Now I should have knife and forked the sandwich. But you're so... In such a young era of your friendship with this lady. That's exactly right. You don't want to be the person who knives and forks a sandwich. Like the third time you hang out with someone... Right. You can't... I can't sit there and like eat my sandwich in a packed restaurant with a knife and fork. Sure. Sandwich is a sandwich. It's weird. Sure it is. Okay. I'm all right. Oh, let me tell you what we had for an appetizer. Okay. They... It was soup and you ate it with a knife and fork. You were there for six hours. I would have eaten the sauce with a knife and fork. It was fried pretzels. Okay. So they were these soft... Beagles? Soft. No, not my baby. No, I was only kidding. It was a horrible joke. They were these soft, like fat pretzel... Yeah. Soft pretzel sticks that they deep fried. Like sex. It has to be like sex. It's just perfect. And they were just so soft. It's the simplest carb fried. Because like a soft pretzel for me to go eat a soft pretzel, that's disastrous because the outside is so tough and everything. But it was... And like a honey mustard dipping, a spicy mustard sauce? Oh, no. What was it? Robbie. Yes, Kate. What was it? I feel closer to you now. I understand. Almost telling you. It was a smoked Gouda
