You know, did you see that New York Times review? They gave the fucking Brooklyn Steakhouse that we love. What the hell is it called? Peter Lugers. They gave Peter Lugers one star. One star! Remember, we just went there. Yeah, it was great. It was fucking amazing. Oh my god, with the sizzling plate. It's amazing. Dude. Those potatoes. They gave it one star. Not kidding, come on! Three stars and you're like, wow, maybe something happened. I don't know. It's smart. If you're a provocateur slash journalist, and I know how much you love trolls, that's what that guy did. I do love trolls. He took one of the most delicious restaurants of all time and he made a one star rating. It's either that or he's a moron. So either he's really clever or he's got to be a twat. It shows up on top of Google when you search Peter Luger review too. Used to sizzle, now it sputters. One star. I can count on Peter Lugers' take as a book to produce certain sensations and then I don't know. Well, it's a very, very popular restaurant, right? There's a giant waiting list last time we were there. We luckily weaseled in and had to grease some palms, but it's a fucking sweet spot. Me and Diaz went, when Diaz was in town, he was like, get a reservation, and they're like, you're out of your mind, you can't get one. So we had my manager assistant call and say we're part of Obama's staff. Oh my God. They said we could do 315 and that's it. Oh my God. Part of Obama's staff. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. The food's there. It's fucking amazing, man. It's so good. You can do that for a one star restaurant, you cunt. It's not one star. That's a troll. You're absolutely right. That's more than he's not just, he's just trying to get this out of us. He's one of those writers. There's certain writers that are just trying to be assholes with everything they do. They love being assholes. They love accentuating, they love the art form of being an asshole, an art form of being an articulate asshole. When you're an asshole with good mood, you know how to say the, you know, put the right words in the right order, which just sounds juicy and pops and makes you seem terrible. But when you're doing that over something like Peter Lugar's, like you lose all that one star means. That's not what one star means. What one star means is you go to the Olive Garden and the fucking guy who works behind the counter has heroin. It's actually zero stars. Zero? They didn't even give it a one, it was a zero star. That's hilarious. There's no zero stars. That's hilarious. One is the lowest. Not today. Come on, that's hilarious. That's hilarious. That's a photoshop. Of course. Is that really? You can't do zero stars. See, it's more showing that this guy's trolling. Look, we're talking about him. It's great. He's a smart guy. He's made us uncover him though and we uncovered him. Look, he's a smart guy. But yeah, it took some work. He knows who he's doing. I did get riled up. If you want to make a fucking splash in the restaurant review business in 2019, that's what you do. Yeah. You can't go positive with shitty places. No! That won't work. You're negative with great places. Negative. You know how you all love this? Well, I hate it. I shit in your mouth. Yeah. I mean, he was talking about the steak not being flavorful. You're out of your fucking mind. What are you talking about? If they dropped it on the floor and picked it up on the way, it's still a two star. He's bullshit. It's so good. He's bullshitting and they're all buying it. Hook line, snigger. We're like a bass right now like this. He absolutely got us. He got us. Hook in the jaw. I'm fighting against the drag. It's so much more fun to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something. I'm going to be angry at something.
