Lost in the Groove Podcast
Oh, just what this the way you're describing it is a
04:37.53
imisspoolparties
They're really good. They're really good. They're very, very good. Like as a child, I ate so many potato oles. And then eventually they came out with like a nacho sauce that you would dip the oles in.
04:52.52
imisspoolparties
And then they started making spicy olives. Like it got wild. Yeah.
04:56.70

imisspoolparties
OK, I think I found the recipe, but I had. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
06:06.71
imisspoolparties
I don't know if I found it or not. They might have just crushed some potato chips and put it on the top and that might not count.
06:11.18
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Oh, my meaning yeah to ask you, have you found any good Chinese places around you?
06:14.38
imisspoolparties
What?
06:20.13
imisspoolparties
There's one... Okay, there's two. There's one called, like, heavenly cuisine.
06:27.53
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Okay, is it heavenly?
06:27.65
imisspoolparties
And it...
06:30.68
imisspoolparties
I have... Yeah, yes it is.
06:33.76
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Scale of 1 to 10.
06:33.97
imisspoolparties
um Um... I haven't had it enough.
06:40.32
imisspoolparties
Now, what used to be there was, ah okay, because I got on the internet and I looked up that part of town and I was looking for the Chinese restaurant that I used to go to
06:40.62
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Fair enough.
06:59.19
imisspoolparties
which I'm blanking the name of, but I really, really want to remember. It had a really cool name. um It was, I believe, like a Mandarin name. um And then when I was googling the same part of town, a Chinese restaurant popped up in its place, but with a different name. And I was like, huh? I was like, well, I'll give it a shot, you know, just to see.
07:26.24
imisspoolparties
And it wasn't as good, but it was good. It's like fancy Chinese food, if you understand. Like, yeah, they make it expensive.
07:33.82
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Oh, yeah.
07:36.05
imisspoolparties
They package it real big and nice and ah put it, ah you know, like they'll they'll sit you down with like nice lighting and like it's like quiet and stuff.
07:40.94
Lost in the Groove Podcast
but You know something?
07:47.28
Lost in the Groove Podcast
There's something and there's something about even though like it's almost fast food. There's a different experience.
07:52.77
imisspoolparties
This is not. Yeah.
07:54.28
Lost in the Groove Podcast
It's not I know it's like it's kind of like a ah upscale version of what you're used to.
07:58.28
imisspoolparties
Yeah, they do some upscale Chinese food here. like um My friend told me that that that was like semi-racist, you know, like why people would like to be waited on.
08:17.12
imisspoolparties
And I was like, oh, I know. I was like, oh, I was like, oh, you know, I was like, man, I just really appreciate the food and I figure people want my money. But like, I was like, oh, my grandmother used to love to get Chinese food and I never thought it had anything to do with being waited on. I think she just liked the food. But yeah, she definitely didn't want to be cooking.
08:44.29
imisspoolparties
um And that was part of the reason that she went there. um So I think that probably a lot of women of all ethnicities are quite grateful for the food that has been provided that we don't have to cook.
09:00.11
imisspoolparties
and So I don't know, it's just nice not to have to cook.
09:01.70
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Well, theres a there's a, you know, like I can see from my home state, there's almost like a connection with your pizza place.
09:04.19
imisspoolparties
I think everyone feels that.
09:15.78
Lost in the Groove Podcast
your sub place and your Chinese food place.
09:16.82
imisspoolparties
Mm.
09:22.34
Lost in the Groove Podcast
You know, there's like always a Chinese food place he used to go to, you know, you they kind of always remembered you they always like kind of knew what you were gonna order. So that pizza place you always knew you're gonna get like the best deal.
09:35.72
Lost in the Groove Podcast
You know, and like that honestly is like the key to comfort food. It's just like kind of finding like I love the upscale, but sometimes you gotta go a little home.
09:48.14
imisspoolparties
Well, there's a ah taco place here, um and it's it's more of a burrito place that's like, ah it's locally owned, but it's been around just as long as Chipotle. And I actually was introduced to it before Chipotle, but it's the same thing, basically. um But it was locally founded, and it's called Pancheros.
10:15.07
imisspoolparties
And Pancheros is open till 11 o'clock at night, which is like super incredible around here.
10:20.86

18:11.71
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Okay.
18:14.07
imisspoolparties
But I don't think, I don't think she's trying to have any like surgeries. I think she's just like, you know, like gonna keep everything the way that it is, but is like gonna be a she.
18:26.38
Lost in the Groove Podcast
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I think, you know,
18:28.86
imisspoolparties
Yeah.
18:30.94
Lost in the Groove Podcast
i I think we we've talked about this a lot. like I consider myself to be very traditional gay. okay I'm very masculine. I do have a feminine side to me.
18:41.96
Lost in the Groove Podcast
um but I like to, you know, keep an open mind to certain things like pertaining to like there's certain ages to do things like there's a reason why we have restrictions is not to just be like, fuck you. Like, there's a reason. And sometimes like, like what you're experiencing your family, sometimes that's what she needs right now.
19:05.63
Lost in the Groove Podcast

19:18.76
imisspoolparties

19:29.29
Lost in the Groove Podcast
If it's what she's going through right now, then that's what it is.
19:32.44
imisspoolparties
You know, but like, it doesn't seem like it's like, like, she's like really, really interested in trying as hard as possible to be a she, like, it just kind of seems like, I don't know.

30:32.10

30:34.48
imisspoolparties
Do you know what it is? Is it a TV show?
30:35.71
Lost in the Groove Podcast
No.
30:38.29
imisspoolparties
There was a TV show that was on MTV or like VH1, one of those channels, and it was called The Simple Life. And what it was is they had taken Paris Hilton And Nicole Richie, when they were about like 20 something, like really young and they sent them to hoedunk towns and made them work regular jobs. And they filmed it. It was reality TV and it was absolutely hilarious. um The Simple Life is one of the best TV shows ever made, in my opinion, honest to God.
31:17.01
Lost in the Groove Podcast
But it was young Paris Hilton, not the Paris Hilton.
31:19.11
imisspoolparties
It was. There was Paris Hilton when she was like 20, 21, 22 maybe, early 20s.
31:21.03
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Interesting.
31:24.36
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Mm-hmm.
31:28.30
imisspoolparties
And they just screw around and all the wonderful little simple life people that actually truly live in the towns that they're visiting.
31:39.72
imisspoolparties
I have such genuine responses to these just like completely ridiculous early 20 year olds. It's just is such an interesting mixture of two different cultures to watch. It's absolutely incredible. But in the TV show, Paris Hilton is really like homesick. um And Paris has agreed to do this, but I can tell that like it really does suck for her. Like she is kind of like sad.
32:09.44
imisspoolparties
at different points but at one point her mom sends her Chinese food and she has it like overnighted like to like the middle of nowhere like because Paris Hilton's mom is so rich
32:23.31
Lost in the Groove Podcast
What?
32:26.64

Um, but it's super fancy and everybody eats there to be all like fancy, but Paris Hilton's mother had this Chinese food. Like shipped from Beverly Hills, like within like hours to where Paris was like in the middle of like nowhere, Oklahoma.

39:50.27
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Well, honey, if you got the change to change, baby.
39:55.18
imisspoolparties
I feel like with that type of meal, I could create leftovers. like Because that that plate of like orange chicken is pretty big. And if I bought like some rice and like everything else, I feel like I could like save a little for the next day to heat up.
40:11.38
Lost in the Groove Podcast
They have a crispy spicy honey shrimp that's like $25 and I'm like, ouch.
40:19.17

41:03.47
Lost in the Groove Podcast
She may not want to admit it. I'm going to leave it at that.
41:08.60
imisspoolparties
So you think she probably has?
41:10.15
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Oh, wow. The cheapest thing on the menu is steamed rice, which is, ready? A whopping dollar.

41:37.46
Lost in the Groove Podcast
a
41:42.26
imisspoolparties
this isn
41:42.85
Lost in the Groove Podcast
You try to be fancy and like give all the goddamn chopsticks, you know, when you're like pretending to eat slow.
41:47.71
imisspoolparties
this is
41:49.01
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Cause you know what, you don't want to waste your time, you know?
41:52.03
imisspoolparties
You get like one martini that costs more than your rice.
41:55.02
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Right. Oh my gosh.
41:56.91
imisspoolparties
You're like, I'm not even going to buy food, but I am buying a martini.
41:59.09
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah.
42:00.07
imisspoolparties
God damn it. Then you nurse that.
42:01.73
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Like for the $12, I'm, get that. Olive, can I get the, I don't know.
42:06.48
imisspoolparties
Are there is there alcohol drinks on that menu? How much do they cost? What the absolute fuck? They never tell you that handcrafted beverages.
42:15.81
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Well, they have.
42:16.16
imisspoolparties
I don't I don't think they have alcohol in here.
42:19.01
Lost in the Groove Podcast
They have a package called the Empress, which is feeds 25 to 30 people. It's $499.
42:28.44
imisspoolparties
Wow, that's probably actually a pretty good deal.
42:29.57
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah. Mm hmm. I don't know. I think I think we got to figure out an order.
42:40.33
imisspoolparties
Yeah, I mean, can they overnight it?
42:45.11
imisspoolparties
Because I'm feeling kind of homesick for L.A.
42:46.88
Lost in the Groove Podcast
I mean, if you can get in touch with Paris Houghton's mom, or maybe Paris Houghton, we may be able to do something.
42:57.63
imisspoolparties
and You know, to me, it's funny because this is even fancier than P.F. Chang's like this is like this is beyond P.F. Chang's like this is like what P.F. Chang's is trying to be.
43:09.60
Lost in the Groove Podcast
I've never, um I've eaten at PF Chang's before and like,
43:10.98
imisspoolparties
I've never gone, yeah. I have not.
43:15.57
Lost in the Groove Podcast
It's it's it's good. I give it like a solid seven.
43:23.56
imisspoolparties
Like who created PF Chang's? Is that just like one giant like rip off of a culture?
43:25.72
Lost in the Groove Podcast
I don't.
43:29.71
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Maybe it definitely sounds it, doesn't it?
43:33.28
imisspoolparties
Well, that's just awful.
43:37.01
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Oh, yeah.
43:38.55
imisspoolparties
I mean Panda Express has got to be just one big rip off of someone's culture, right?
43:43.09
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah, but pandas, like when there's no Chinese food available.
43:50.56
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Like pandas.
43:50.63
imisspoolparties
Yeah, but like there would be Chinese food around because like I've seen a PF Chang's put other Chinese food out of business.
43:59.00
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah, but it's kind of different out here. Like China, like independent Chinese places are kind of better. You know, so like there isn't that many like PF Chang's or.
44:09.10
imisspoolparties
Panda Express. I've seen a Panda Express put the Chinese food out.
44:09.98
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah.
44:12.84
imisspoolparties
Yeah, there wasn't as much Chinese food like spread out in in Los Angeles, um but they were like pockets of it.
44:21.20
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Mm hmm. Yeah.
44:24.35
imisspoolparties
But then again, they had like not like your Americanized Chinese food like I would call up and order. They had like actual Chinese restaurants, which were very confusing for me to navigate.
44:37.77
imisspoolparties
Like I'd be like, ah I don't know this menu at all. Um, and I, I feel like a lot of times, and it was because it was the restaurants that actual Chinese people would get food from. And so it wasn't made for me.
44:50.34
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah food There was a there's a Chinese place I used to order from ah in my old place Holy shit
44:50.99
imisspoolparties
Uh, you know, and as compared to Chinese food that had been, um, you know, restaurants that had been opened in order to make profit off of all kinds of people, including white people.
45:04.86
imisspoolparties
Yeah, and so they usually make the menu kind of more like something I'd be able to understand.
45:19.85
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Like, first off, like, this place was not only not made for Americans, it was made for, like, people in the islands. Like, the food was so fucking spicy. But I love that shit so much, I just kept on ordering it.
45:34.39
Lost in the Groove Podcast
But yeah. here
45:35.36
imisspoolparties
than Shenzhen. Like it's like:45:51.92
imisspoolparties
which is basically like 18 bucks and like 18 bucks is only a couple bucks cheaper than $20.
45:55.49
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Yeah. and Yeah, honestly, PF Chang's is like not that fancy. It it is kind of fast foodie. Like it is sit down.
46:06.48
Lost in the Groove Podcast
Like you do have a waiter and stuff, but yeah no, not at all.
46:10.75
imisspoolparties
Yeah, but it's not fancy.
