So I got a chance to spend time with Arzak. Arzak. Arzak. Not just Arzak. So I got a chance. So we spent Easter together. Easter morning together. We went to, we did brunch. The kind of brunch that's not like you guys like to do at fun places that have mimosas and basically egg whites. I'm talking big old buffet trays where like you open it up and there's like a lot of all you can eat like crab legs. They hit anything you could imagine. They had fried faces. Smiley fries. We just told them all those. So let me explain this because Tyler's your chef. No, you've got the cold table with the salads, the potato salads, the broccoli, I'm so ready right now. All that stuff. You got the fruits. You got a ton of ton of shrimp cocktails and stuff like that. Fruits and cheeses. Yeah. Chocotery boards for everyone. I could just eat that. That was on a different side. Yep. The dessert table. Then they had breakfast. They had breakfast with eggs and sausage and bacon. And then they had like dinner items and they had. Did they have somebody carving meat? Yes. Carving meat. Oh, they had a carving station with a prime rib and ham and turkey and. Yeah. I was wondering. So delicious. And guess what this guy did? I'm Nicole. He had one plate. No, no. You were so delusional. Just like Anna, my man is so busy talking to the chef, getting pictures with other people. I had four plates and a dessert plate. He's so full of himself. Call Chelsea because. Call Chelsea. Hold on. During half of his plate, he was like, I think it's low as epic. He's like, man, I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of full. Me and Chelsea, look at each other like, get the hell out of here. We want another plate. I will tell you this to you. I thought taking Zach, my son, Luke, our friend, son, Max to this thing that I was going to never be invited back to this place. I thought for sure that Zach was going to like sneak a fricking prime rib home with them. You know what I mean? And he is first off, he dresses really nice. Thank you. He's really nicely dressed. Zach, I didn't even realize it was you in the picture that was posted. I just looked at it really quickly and I was like, oh, I'm doing it in the kids. In the kids. Shannon, he's one of them. I really swear to God, I did not realize it was you at first. I had four people walk up to me and go, it's so great that Jacob came home. They all thought it was Jake. And in Zach's there, and we're, oh my God, first off, let me say this to you. He's the nicest guy ever. I couldn't hear enough the rest of the day. Chelsea telling me how sweet Zach is. No, you guys are so sweet. She made me a whole batch. Tell me what was in it. Well, when he handed it to me, he was like, you got to promise something, Zach. I was like, anything boss, whatever you want. Don't think Diabetes eating this. It's a whole bunch of kids. They all do lemon, Kit Kits. Any adult things in there? No, so she was mad at me about that. She, Chelsea was mad. She gave me the, the responsibilities to go in and get stuff. She wanted me for Zach to go to the greenhouse. That would be good. Jerry Millen's place and go get a whole bunch of stuff. And then she wanted me to go to Louis Yeldo's brass mug and buy a bunch of booze for him. Oh no, that's a lot of tickets. And I said to her, I said to her, I go, I wanted to do that. She wanted it in Luke's stuff too. Like she was, my wife was like really to give a look. I'm like, Chelsea, what kind of a mother are you? He's 21, right? Yeah, he's, no, he's going to be though. Oh. And soon, crazy. That was a stop. But okay, so let me ask this question because Zach does this. He goes to this thing. Is there anybody listening that is a professional eater? Oh, yes, Colleen. That has ever, ever gone to a buffet and eaten so much that they kicked your ass out. I want to hear from you because that's what I was kind of hoping. I didn't want to like, did you notice by the way that the chef, Tyler, he's a younger guy, he's cool. He actually is friends. I like, I love the guy. The guy's incredible. He's super cool. I think he would have been happy if he had to go in and like prepare more food. You think so? I think so because I think he looks at it as that's a compliment. You're eating all of his food. It's more of like, I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Chelsea. I don't want to look like I'm starving, but like, I had, I even had salad, you know? Dude, this is good. I looked at the menu to make a salad. I'm like, this putts. Dude, it was so good. That was my question. You have four plates. Like how did you decide what you were going to do? I got too excited at first. So I started with like the potatoes and the meats, the bacon, all of it. And then I went back and I started with the desserts and then I went for the fruits and the salads. Then I went back for my ham. The ham and a waffle, all the ham. There was no rhyme where you did. Oh my gosh. You know what he reminded me of? Me on every first date that I've ever been on with a girl. I'll go on a date with a girl. And first off, they should look at me and just know I'm a fat ass, okay? And I would go on the date and I would, I, they, they would, the guy would come around and go, would you guys know what you want? And I'd say, what would you like? And she would order and I would go, I have the small Caesar. You know, that never happened. I swear to God. And then you know what would happen after I dropped her off at home? Big man. One time I went out with a girl slid to honest, John's banger of a spot. I was really into her dog said, I said, I ordered the wings. I like, it was like a 10, 15 damn near 20 piece of wings. Didn't really eat any God. It's a go boy, full to the brim. Got in a car, drove home. I was like, I left it, left it. No. That's a sin. Yeah. I would have gone back. That's crazy. It was gone, bro. I looked at there was so there's this place, you know, it was, it was a country club and it had a, you know, a bunch of like families and stuff there. There was an old guy, like literally like on the verge of death, old guy sitting at the table to the next of us. Oh yeah. And that guy got up like seven times. And I'm looking at Zach who's spry. He's young. He's vibrant. I think if I would have drank a little more, I would have ate more. Yeah. They weren't, I had one mimosa. No one else was. I drink with you. You had another one. No. Order another one. And I, it, it, oh, you did have one. I did. I was like, Hey, let's order more drinks. And he's like, I don't know. I'm not going to do, you know, you are. Speaking of drinks, I actually thought Kevin and I were going to get kicked, not kicked out, but I thought they were going to stop us when we went to Vegas and we went to that a brunch and it was bottomless. All you can drink mimosa's. And I was like, came fricking and once the manager say he was for Michigan, it was really over. I think we, we get four. We run our fourth. And I thought they were going to say, okay, you're done now, but we kept going. There was a shift change. And we were still there. We as a show back in the Kyra days when Kyra was here, we would go to the Chinese buffet in Novi. It was, it was over by the town center in Novi. And we would go to the Chinese buffet and the lady would kick us out. We would get in there after the show at noon and we would leave at three. Oh my God. And they should go dinner starting soon. And she would get really mad at us and be like, you got to get out of here. And she would kick us out of the place. Joey. They should be taking you to Easter brunch, not Zach, right? Of course. I mean, well, Zach can come too, but I mean, you know, what are you, are you an eater? Oh yeah. Big, big foodie. So question. Big, big, big eater. Have you ever gone to a buffet and ate so much that you had to like unbuckle your pants? Well, I mean, yeah, but the most recent time I was at a buffet, me and a bunch of buddies went after, um, let's just say having a nice little, you know, tying together in a circle. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Enhancing our eating, uh, our enhancing our eating ability. Oh, okay. Wait, Shannon got right away with a circle. Was it Ray White? No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no. Hang on, Ray. I did. I did that in middle school. I know I've got some good. I know Kev's got some good in his head. So after you guys got it, I've been kicked out. It hasn't been because of the food. It's more or less the time that you spend there. Oh yeah. Yeah. Time limits. Like they had a time limit on ours. Ours was, we were there. It was 1030 to one, I think. I think it was like, it was like my one. I'm not even, I'm not even sure what the time was. The lady came, the waitress came up to us and she's like, you guys have been here for about three hours and you know, normally people are only here, you know, about 45 minutes. And I was like, so, I'm so hungry. The funny, the funny thing was Emily, who is our waitress, when we said, Hey, Emily, we're going to, we're going to leave. Can I get the bill? Emily looked like you're leaving. Like she was surprised. She was really surprised because I think the whole we're going to come there and have some fun. And then we got it on the air and then we got there and it was a dud. I'm bringing you and we're going to all circle together. Okay. What's up, Julie? Hi. Hey, good morning guys. How are you doing, Julie? What's happening? Sorry, I wanted to take you off the truth. My husband was told that he could not take any more steak and broccoli from a Chinese buffet because he only took all the steak. Did you say, I don't see a sign that says that? Exactly. Exactly. That was his argument, but she was not, they were not having it. I love Chinese buffets and my favorite on Chinese buffets are the pots, the pot stickers, whatever those things are. Oh my God. And we're crab rangoons. I've never had crab rangoon and I've never been to a Chinese buffet. Oh, we got it. I don't think I've been to one either. The best part of a Chinese buffet is when they randomly will have like turkey and stuff. It's like the weirdest thing ever. They do that random things. Yeah, they randomly will throw something out there. Do they still even have one? Like I feel like that was a thing for them. Golden corral has to be still around. No, but like a Chinese buffet. Wait, is there still golden corrals? Yeah, I think they rebranded. What's that? Old country buffet? Old country was great. Oh, that was the best. Remember, did you guys ever eat at the Ponderosa buffet? Oh my God. Oh yes, the Ponderosa. The Sizzler was the best. Sizzler buffets. My favorite. Yeah, there are still golden corrals. Really? Clayton Township, Westland. Look up Chinese buffets and see if there's a Chinese buffet somewhere. I think that one got taken down in Nova. Taken down for some illegal reasons. Golden palace buffet in Livonia is supposed to be the best. Golden palace, baby. Let's go. Food in the front, massage in the back. What's up, Ferris? What's up? Good morning, you guys. Good morning. So my family and I were like fat shamed at a Chinese restaurant one time. Oh, how dare they? Yeah, like, like we ordered soup to start and I have three kids. And then we ordered like a big order of noodles for them. And then they split a meal and then I ordered a meal. And then I looked at my fiance and I'm like, go ahead. And the guy looks at me and he goes, oh, that's a lot of food. Dang. I was like, and? I ordered a lot of food and I'm looking around and I'm like, um, OK, we almost got up and left. I hate that. I've had that at restaurants where I'll order a whole bunch of appetizers in the beginning and they'll be looking at me like, did you realize? Like they know that's I'm like, that's. I'm paying for the food. Yeah, I'm paying for the food. Let me order what I want to order. Autumn, what's up, Autumn? Hey, how's it going? First time long time. Well, what a beautiful. So I was just going to say that Golden Corral is still. Golden Corral is still very much a thing. There's one right by my house and it is still. How funny is it? Is it? How funny is it that they call it the Golden Corral? A corral is like a bunch of fat animals. That's why they did it. It's amazing. You know what else they still have is sign of the beef carver. Oh my God, they do. I've never been there before. There's one on Woodward and Royal Oak. I haven't been for years and years and years, but it has like the. It's like the red building. Yes, that's a buffet. Yeah, as far as I remember. What's up, Anthony? Hey, how's it going? I'm going to say that last time I went to a Chinese buffet was in 2017 and I ended up in the hospital. What happened? It was a it was a Chinese buffet on 14 and Van Dyke. My sister begged me to go and I went and I ended up getting diverticulitis. Oh my God. I have never went to a buffet. I have diverticulitis. I think you must have gone in there with a pre-existing condition. It was severe boo poisoning. Your butthole almost came out of it. It was shooting flames.
