All right, so yesterday Chelsea and I went for her six week follow-up appointment after her having surgery for ovarian cancer and things went great. It was awesome. Yay! I was so happy when I saw that you had posted that. Yeah, it was good. We went in and she sat down and had a conversation with, it was a physician's assistant to the doctor that did the surgery and everything was good. She got the okay to start doing a little bit more, which was nice because I think she's right now at a point where she's about ready to kill me. She wants to do like, and it's not because of anything I'm doing. I actually feel like I'm okay. It's just that she just wants to kill something. She also wants to get out of the house. Yeah, she wants to be able to get a little bit of her life back. She wanted to kill you before the surgery. Pretty much. But we went to Michigan Medicine. I love those guys. They do such a great job of making you feel like you are in the best hands and I believe that you are when you go there. Then after we got everything done, which is so funny because she had to get like a pelvic exam, which you women, man. I gotta tell you. Yeah, that is never fun. And she had to go to the bathroom too. That was the other thing too. She was like, I gotta go to the bathroom, but I gotta get this exam. I don't know. I was sitting there the whole time having to go to the bathroom too and I'm thinking to myself, how do you go to the bathroom and get this examination done without? And sometimes they want you to have a full bladder. Yeah. Like depending on what you're, if she's having like an ultrasound or you know, whatever. Yeah. So after she got it done, got the good news, she went to the bathroom and peed. And then I said to her, I go, we're going out and celebrating. So we ended up going out to eat and getting a $30 sandwich at Zingerman's. It looked good. Dude, Zingerman's is good though. Can I be honest with you, man? Those sandwiches are expensive as well. Yeah, they are. I know. But they're so good. So it's worth it. Well, it's funny because I never get a chance to really go to Zingerman's that much because I don't live in, you know, in and around Ann Arbor. It's like a 45 minute to an hour commute. But it is so good and the place is so good. Like, and they got like the, the meat place there where you can buy meats, but I always like to go to like the, the dessert place. They got a dessert place that's there. It's really good. Do you guys, are you guys like our family? Whenever you get any kind of news and it's good news, we all go eat. Like, is that something that you, do you ever do that in your family? Like, it feels like whenever you have like a good, like when I used to get a good grade at school or I had like a good report, we always would go to the Sizzler buffet afterwards. All the Sizzlers. And it would always be that it was either the Sizzler buffet or what was the other buffet? Friendly. Oh. No, not old country. It was the other steak place. Sizzler and well, no, Ponderosa. Ponderosa. We used to go to the Ponderosa. That wasn't a buffet. I see. I don't know if it was a buffet, but we used to go to the Ponderosa. That was always a good one. Yeah. I mean, anytime to your point, I don't know what it is, but feasts are associated with celebration. Yeah. And whether it's graduating high school or getting a good grade or whatever it is, when you celebrate, there's typically food involved. Yeah. I love it. See, for me, it's drinks. I was going to say, my family likes to drink. Like it's always like, let's have a glass of wine. But what did you do when you were younger though? Like, what did you do with your kids? It was always ice cream. Really? Ice cream. Oh, sweet, Felani. We're fat people. We don't, we don't go just, we go for ice cream and we go for the food at any time. I'll be a part of your family. Yeah. Like we, like we always end up, we always had the restaurants that were the restaurants. Like for the kids, they did good in school. It was always, we either, by our house, there's a place called the lodge. We would go to the lodge for, nachos and stuff like that. Or Red Robin. That was always the thing. But when I was a kid, it was always, you'd go to, like Shannon mentioned, Friendlies was kind of like the place we had a Friendlies that we would go to. That or Big Boy. You go to Bob's. Shout out to Big Boy. Big Boy's still around. Getting out on the Southfield. And the best was, I always remember my dad would let us get milkshakes and stuff. And that was kind of like our thing. Like we would just go and get like big old burgers and milkshakes. Just saw a new spot is Olive Garden. I'm like, dog, I'm so tired of Olive Garden. He gets like a big thing. So he get like macaroni and then he get broccoli. Dude, the way they do their kid's meals is so good because they let them pick. Does he like, does he like the breadsticks? Well, he destroys the breadsticks. They're so good. He destroys the breadsticks. Somebody was telling me in the salad too. For some reason I like in their salad, just like iceberg lettuce with like Italian dressing on it. But for some reason their salads in that big plastic bowl are always so good. But somebody told me they limit your breadsticks now. We just asked for more. Really? And they don't ever? Ah, we haven't been limited. You ever get a bad look at all? No, I mean, be nice, smile and keep them coming. Yeah. And then take the extras home with you. Absolutely. It was, to me, it was one of those things like yesterday we went to, Chelsea had never been to Zingerman's. I've never heard of it until you started talking about Zingerman's. Wait, she's never been until yesterday? She's never been to Zingerman's at all. No. So that was the first time she had ever been in there. So I'm in there and I'm like, you know, I'm one of those ones where I'm like a pro. I walk right up and they got the screen and we're ordering the thing. I'm like, Chelsea, you got to get it. And she loves pastrami. So she, so I'm like, Chelsea, you got to see this thing. And she's like, just give me a small sandwich. I'm like, we're not, we didn't have a small appointment today. We had a big appointment today. You're getting a big sandwich. Super size. And of course. Was this celebration for Chelsea or you? It was mine. It was my celebration too. What's going on? We got a weather update here, weather updates from listeners in the area here that are in and around Comerica Park. What do you got, Jennifer? I am not near Comerica Park. I'm in Clarkston and Waterford and it's been pouring. It is. Okay. You can hear it in our background. I'm no meteorologist, but I'm pretty sure it's raining, bitches. I know it too. What's that? Say that again? It's probably raining in commerce too. It's okay. The meal we're right around the same. Okay. So you should know. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. It's coming. It's coming towards downtown Detroit. We haven't had anything outside of our Eastern market studios, but we're hoping that if the rain continues throughout the day, they just push the game time back a little bit. What's up, Jay? Hey, this is Jay. First time caller. Hey, Jay. What's going on, Jay? I just wanted to say it's raining pretty good in Southgate. Okay. All right. So it's coming. It's a, where are you heading to from Southgate? Uh, I'm headed to Linker Park. Very nice. Not that horrible of a drive. That's actually a good drive. Yeah. Go Tigers. Not really good right now. Yeah. Go Tigers. And lines. Hey, quick question for you. Where was your place that your parents would take you to go eat and celebrate? Um, we would go, there was a place in the world called Ranch. Really? It was a ranch. What kind of food was it? It was just a buffet. I love it. Do you remember back in the day when Pizza Hut had a buffet? Boy, stop playing with me. Yes. Do you remember? I do. Yes, I do. Right on 7 Maw. Pizza Hut had a buffet and it honestly was never good tasting food, but it was a lot of food. You liked it? The younger you are, the worse your taste buds are. Dude, Pizza Hut was so good. And there was no pop as good as Pizza Hut pop in those red textured cups. Oh, the red cups. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I know what you're talking about. The red, those red, they're like, like, like, horrible. A Dr. Pepper in one of those. They had a Mastacholi thing that was in there and I tasted like the Mastacholi had been in there forever. You know what it was like? It was like, do you ever go to the mall and go to the Sbarro's in the mall? You love Sbarro. That food is still sitting there right now from when I was a kid. And the slices of pizza are like as big as your head. What's up, Dakota? How you doing? I'm good. How are you guys this morning? Good. What's going on? I am in the St. Clair Shorts area and there's a light drizzle, but the sky does not look pretty around this area. It's coming. It's coming close to us. It just started drizzling here. Hey, Dakota, where was your food celebratory place that you would go to? Like if you brought home an honor roll in school, where did you guys go and celebrate? We didn't go anywhere to celebrate. I wanted steak. You go steak? Mom made it at home. Oh, like what? Like a farmer jack steak or what kind of steak? Whatever she bought is what I was eating. It was steak to me. It was steak to you. Just give me a steak. Fran had my favorite place. Fran, what's going on? Where did you guys go celebrate? Yeah, my mommy always take me to Cheechee. Cheechee. Cheechee. Whatever. I saw it was coming back. I hope it does. I dream about that place. Would you get fried ice cream? I just remember eating so much chips and sauce I couldn't move. The fried ice cream was so good at Cheechee's. I miss like a place with fried ice cream. What's up, Ally? Hi, it's Mojo in the morning. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. Mojo, that's a Chicago thing. What? To like just going out to celebrate literally everything. No matter what happens in life, that's a Chicago thing. My family was Lone Star. Lone Star. Go to Lone. By the way, I think it's an everything thing. I listen. I've been to Detroit for, you know, almost 30 years. I'm going to tell you something. I think we eat everywhere and we like food. It's an American thing. I think that's what we do. We all feed our faces with things. Sarah, what's up, Sarah? Hi. Hi. What's going on? So, Ponderosa. Yeah. Ponderosa did have a buffet, but they had the best chicken wings. Boy, it always was like a 50 piece in the tin foil can. Do you remember, Sarah? Sarah, do you remember at Ponderosa, the they would have like, I don't even know what it was. It may have not have been real meat, but it the stripes on top of the steak were so perfectly square on every single piece. It was like a stamp. It was like stamped right on top. That's because the way they grilled it, it was the way the grill was. I worked there. That's how I know. Somebody just texted in and said, Mojo, it's all about Bill Naps. Okay. The chocolate cake at Bill Naps was something to die for. That was the best. Do they? I think you can still buy the chocolate cake in grocery stores. So good. Like Myers and Kruger. Kyle, what's up, Kyle? Not much. How are you guys? We're good. What's going on? I'm getting hungry. Yeah. I as a kid, my mom, you always take me on half days to the pizza hut buffet. Oh, that we were just talking about that. Do you remember the glasses that Shannon was reminiscing about that you'd get popping? I do not know. The red plastic glasses, and they only came in one size. So even if you were a kid, you got to get a full, big, large pop. It was great. Anybody who's around my age to probably remember is, because you're talking about pizza hut, they used to have this program to get you to read called Book It. And you had this like a big pin, and there were stars on the pin. And once you read a book, your teacher could put a star on the pin. And once you got all the stars filled, you went to Pizza Hut. That was it. And they gave you a personal pan pizza. Pizza. That's right. And it was the best day of your life when you got to go with that filled pin. Marie, where was your celebratory dinner? My mom didn't really give us a choice, but it was definitely Long John Silver's for any birthday, any celebration. Isn't this fun? I got to get those chicken planks. Oh man, that was good. I've never had Long John Silver's. Oh man, we got to do it. Please. Yeah. Not bad. Their rebrand is very good. And they sell Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake there. Do they? No way. Looky here. That's good, I'm sure. I think this girl. How about Max and Irma's? You guys remember Max and Irma's? And the bath tub. The Sunday bathtub. They're the best. They had a little bathtub that was there. You get to have a Sunday at the end of it. Okay. I'm reminiscing a little bit with listeners right now. I'm text message. We're going back and forth on stuff and celebrating food. It's funny. Got one here. It says, Cav, my son is just like yours. Olive Garden. And then people would always talk about, oh, they said El Charo in Frasier has the fried ice cream. So good. I've never been there before. Is it worth me driving out there? Is there anything else good there? There's also one by my house. We should go sometime. Okay. Love El Charo. Old Country Buffet. My grandma would take us to the Old Country Buffet or the Sweden House. Oh, the Sweden House was a downer of her staple. My dad used to work there actually. Did he really? Yeah. When he was in high school. There's nothing better. Ferrell's ice cream. Somebody's on there from Ferrell's. What's up? She just got carried. I got excited. Nothing else matters. Yeah. Ferrell's was the best. Ferrell's. Where would you live? Where'd you grow up? I grew up in the Mad Heights, we call it now. 12 in the Quinter area. And yeah, it was by Oakland Mall. And they would bring like the cake out on this like stretcher and they would have like all this music playing. Like it was a band and they would, the whole restaurant would be involved if it was someone's birthday and then when you were leaving, they had the candy room. I don't, I don't know. What? Somebody's gotta bring this stuff back. With that old. Bring this back please. This is what our life was like. That's so funny. Desserts on a stretcher. Oh, hold on. Do you remember this place, Tiffany? Where did you guys go for your party? Then again. Then again. Don't even get me started. You guys know how much I loved. I loved Ben again. Ben again. I the money Chris. I got the target. My brother Bill went from bus boy to manager of a Ben again. Oh my God. They were literally. Good. That green sign on the side of the road got me so excited. Man, I'm sorry. No, real quick. I will say this though. I knew it was a good day when we went to McDonald's and had to drive through. But it was a better day when my mom parked. That mean we got inside to go to the play place. You guys, it's not the same. Now they have kiosks and stuff that you go to like the McDonald's by my house. There's like one person working there. And they used to be themed like there's a McDonald's. There was a rock and roll. They don't do that anymore. All right. No. It's not the same. Oh my God. Hold on. 734 says remember Baker Square. Dude, the French silk pie. I love the French silk pie. French. By the way, they're so good. The one on Eureka. For some, and this is, you know, this is why I'm fat. And this is why I've been fat my whole life. Because food meant this much to me. Like the idea that this is where our family got together. I can't remember the last time that I have like said to the kids, let's go to, you know, like my kids were like, can we do it? Asha, can we go to Sephora instead? They're doing asha. They all wanted to have it either door dash. Somebody bring it to them. No, we're going to get the Ferrell's ice cream. Cake on a stretcher. Oh, hold on. That place sounded amazing. Courtney, what was your place? The beef carver. That's sign of the beef carver. Oh yeah, they still got those. Yeah. There's one in Royal Oak. Is it really? Yeah. Is that all the legit one or is that just a sign? It is. Big red sign. Is that a sign on an abandoned building? No, I see people there. I have tons of people there all the time. Yeah. Oh my God. These places. Shownies. Remember Shownies. Oh, I remember Shownies. What is the other ones here? I'm trying to look at some of these. Cece's Pizza. Some people are great. Ruby Tuesdays. Ruby Tuesdays. They had a good salad bar. They did. Fod Rockers. Did y'all ever pull up to A&W? A&W. Hi. We already had the floats. Was great. I mean, it's still around, but yeah. I took the Gordon Chevrolet people, Mike and Mona and the entire staff. We went to, they have an A&W red across from them. We had them make us root beer floats. Spilled it all in the new car. Hopefully that wasn't one you bought. Guarantee you though they got it all nice and clean. Buka de Beppo. The Pope table at Buka de Beppo.
