I went to the food court did something I think I need to apologize for let’s talk about that hi I’m Jonathan I’m Ellie I’m Hannah I’m Josh and we’re from Frederick Maryland good mythical morning good mythical morning this episode is brought to you by catalyst comm that’s the guys with the goods including a complaint department please take a number grenade psych it’s a coffee mud doesn’t go for that though don’t pull it all the way out it’ll it’ll still explode I don’t think so probably shouldn’t even say that it’s just a joke okay right now um well I went to the food court this past weekend and I had some things happen there that I feel like we need to talk about and I feel like there’s somebody out there that I needed to address the tome that you’re taking in this is the tone that a boss takes conciliatory when an employee when he asked an employee into his office and sit and is going to fire him or reprimand it was like something has come to my attention that I’d like for you to take a seat here so that we can talk of how did you know that I was gonna fire you today this is not about what you don’t have that power my friend but this is not about me is it I think I do look at the corporate book I’m not I’m not gonna be we have a corporate book yep see now for the record I know that we do if the lawyers are watching we both know about the corporate book okay it’s all filled out appropriately but I’m not gonna be reprimanded here this is not gonna be about that about you because I mean okay good it’s about me and a certain special someone out there okay um we’ll get into it okay I took the boys out I have two boys Locke and Shepherd they’re children they’re my sons I took them out on Saturday night to go shopping for mom for Valentine’s Day mm-hmm and Jessie was having some ladies over here at the house and I felt like this would be a good opportunity to do this and I was only like playing back or something Bridge ray wasn’t it was just something like retired lady I don’t I don’t ask him what they do they just you know how that’s a good time whatever but I said you know what I’ve got to do shopping which a I don’t like to do be I know my kids don’t like to do so I’m going to try to make this a fun experience for the boys I call it boys night I call it boys night hey it’s boys night there look at boys night but you did shopping you didn’t shop you did shopping well yeah we did some shopping and I was like you know what’s gonna make this great for the family is if we go and we eat somewhere that the kids want to eat and then I get over there to there cuz none of them want to go shopping for mono but we only eat I go over there to the Glendale Galleria slash Americana you know that area over there mm-hmm and I’m like well let me say let me get on Yelp and see if there’s someplace that way you know well enjoy and I couldn’t find anything and I got frustrated and I said well I’ll just go to the food court because at the mall you got the food court you got two options everybody can be happy so I go in there and first of all as I’m always I I never cease to be amazed by the number of people in this town you can’t go anywhere at any time and not just be totally in a huge crowd and I thought you were gonna say I never cease to be amazed at the number of people in this town that bla bla love the food court well first of all the food court had a section that they were working on so they had less seating than normal and I go in there and I’ll under construction and I see people one person at a button no open tables and a bunch of people like waiting with a cell phone at a table like holding reserving a table at the food court waiting for other people I was like that is despicable this is gonna be a nightmare so then I’m like people holding spots at a food court yeah lots of people I’m talking hundreds of people just on cellular telephones like I found a table George get over here get your kung pao chicken and get over here you know now that makes me angry I mean it’s like especially if I’m with my kids which is uh you know it’s a hyper situation I would be totally prepared at that point to say once I get my food I’m sitting down with somebody who’s eating up but a cellphone so oh you’re eating your cellphone no you’re just on well then get up well I knew that I couldn’t employ this technique because I’ve got children with me yeah I can’t put Shepherd a four-year-old there with a cellphone he doesn’t know how to use it he’d be like playing a game on it oh you were gonna play their game if you could I’m saying you suppose no no I wasn’t gonna do it I knew I wasn’t even it wasn’t even in the cards I couldn’t even do it okay so I had to have a different strategy but strategy one is what are we gonna eat yes I’m like okay I look around I’m like my kids are really picky I know they’re not gonna want to do one of these Asian things and first of all like it every food court has like something a green it would look at all these Asian things half of the options are Asian food you notice this like a food courts love Japanese Chinese Korean and then Asian fusion or the Cajun which I’m pretty sure sent it leaf rhymes with Asian it does agent Cajun and there’s actually an Asian Cajun place in North Carolina you know that place yeah yeah thinking I think it’s just Cajun but we’re just mistaken and so I’m like that almost rhymed I’m thinking well okay what am I gonna do Pizza kids love pizza so I take them up to the little smaller place it’s not a Sbarro and I’ve shown the pizza and I’m like boys doesn’t that look good and I look at both of them and there’s like lots of toppings on the pizza and they’re both like oh and then they see a McDonald’s sign oh yeah I’m like okay trust and in Shepherd’s like I want to go to McDonald’s I want a cheeseburger and listen I know there’s there’s parents out there that they don’t let their kids eat McDonald’s and it’s all natural and stuff like that listen this is boys night no rules we’re gonna do what we can and if my four year old wants a cheeseburger happy meal that’s what he’s gonna get and so I go over there and like says well I don’t want to go to McDonald’s I want to go to Subway and I’m like I don’t want to go to either place I want to go I want to go to this Japanese place over here I want to go to the Asian place because there’s so many Asian options yeah so I’m like okay we got to play it play this right so we go to the McDonald’s first we get a happy meal with a toy little transformer toy it’s a two-part toy which I know that spells trouble to begin with now I’ve got a four-year-old with a cheeseburger and a toy that has two parts just tell him he’s got two toys look to toy well then he loses one and he’s lost he loses half of it he’s lost the whole toy that’s a bad idea so then I’m like okay all right I’m going we get and I hold on to the little happy meal I’m walking around with a happy meal because I cannot gonna let you who knows what’ll happen if I actually give it to Shepherd ahead of time right and so might find a bar sit down order a drink and eat I eat is happy me so then I go over to the subway and like Locke what do you want he’s like I want a buffalo chicken on Italian with cheddar cheese and bacon like he that’s that’s what he wanted he’s he posted so I’m like well this is like the communicating telepathically with them like no it’s just this is sort of symbolic of he’s really thought about this so I go out there and I’m like okay six-inch Italian buffalo chicken with cheddar with cheddar cheese and bacon toaster they kind of look at us like okay and then then they toast it they bring it out and they’re like what do you want on he’s like nothing just like that no toppings I just folded up and they give it to him like okay he’s happy now we got to find a seat because I’ve got to order my food and I’m like I can use my kids as like a marker and put them down and let them start eating and then go to a place that’s close to their table and like keep one eye on them well they do have food right they could eat right and save you a seat here’s the problem still no available seating however I look at the far door next to the entrance you can come right in from the outside there’s an entrance to the outside right there at the end of the food court down this little hallway area and it’s freezing outside and the doors keep opening so there’s this draft coming and nobody’s sitting there I’m like that’s our seat or that’s your kids so I go and I set Locke and Shepherd down at this drafty table I might put your coats on boys and start eating and then I’m like I’m going to this Japanese place over here that’s you know within 50 yards of here and at this moment 50 yards when I’m about to sit him down this is where I need to apologize to somebody I’m a little flustered okay I’m a little flustered I’ve got a happy meal in my hand Locke’s got his crazy Subway sandwich and I’m trying to figure out where I’m gonna eat and where they’re gonna sit and a guy says Rhett he’s sitting down eating and a guy recognizes Rhett from Rhett link and I’m like yeah and I’m really frustrated with the whole situation yeah and then I’m like nice to meet you you’re not I’m usually you know if you see us in public and you and you and you like what we do and you want to say hey come up and say hey we’ll get a picture it’ll be a great time usually now you sir I don’t know your name cuz I didn’t ask it because I was frustrated I was flustered and I just said yeah and I said nice to meet you I probably didn’t even smile I think you missed an opportunity here that guy was your food court babysitter you were about to leave your kids 50 yards away at an exit he looked like you went to the Japanese a stranger though hey just a stranger fan you know he’s a mythical beast you know he’s gonna trust all of them no and he look like he was on the date of some kind anyway I want to screw up his date making baby said don’t lose your kids via the exit to the food court or you know it’s it’s neither here nor there and so you sir I apologize for that no did you say to him I mean was there rude look on your face like I just know that I was away I know I was short with him I could feel it I could feel myself being Curt and I don’t mean your cousin I mean you know yeah car short and I so I apologize for that but anyway I sit him down I go to the Japanese plate I kind of keep one eye on the Japanese food being made and I keep one eye on my kids and they’re very obviously they’re like shivering eating over there I’m like it’s good for them they’re gonna learn something from this no one tries to kidnap them I get my food I’ll go over there and I finish my meal I got to say I didn’t enjoy them I didn’t enjoy this it didn’t sound like you have and then Shepherd loses the one half of the toy that he got he did and cries for ten minutes hmm the best dad in the world it’s you know it’s I’m still angry about the people holding seats for just the cell phone I was angry from that point and the frustration just built for me but when I take my kids somewhere yeah it’s just it’s a building frustration of just oh I can’t I keep this together I would never take him to a food and you’ve got an extra kid yeah I’ve got one when you where I’m all like a backpack or something don’t you well I have put one of them in a backpack sometimes and I but I’ve never done the leash thing yeah the leash shouldn’t leash your kid now if I took my kids that food court you know what I would do I’d say all right kids you see that guy with the plate those are samples and then if you look there’s another guy with samples there’s a girl with samples there’s a girl with samples we’re going to form a single-file line and we’re going to get us some samples and that’s it and by the time we go around once the people the first sample of Giver will have forgotten that we got a sample and we’re gonna go through again you just change the order you put your endo in front the next yep yep it just took maybe maybe I’ll bring masks or some sort of costuming you get a sample done it yeah sample dinner totally free you get your exercise at the same time and you see what I would and you teach your kids how to take advantage of the system and fans would have been like clink-clink and I’d have been like yo yo hey guys hey take a photo you know everything would have been great but that’s just me that’s what I would have done Rhett announces he’s leaving good mythical morning for a new career all right thanks for joining us you know I feel like we’re about to turn a corner yeah in awesomeness with this show let me tell you about it we’re about to turn a corner literally I’m gonna start bobsledding I like what what it I didn’t know how to say this and I just figure I just seem to be right out there with you on this because I got asked to be the anchor for the Jamaican bobsledding team because as I’ve established before I’m actually half Jamaican and I’ve always expected that I might get this call I got the call it’s a dream of mine but it’s unfortunately it’s going to mean that we got to shut this thing down now there’s an opening for the second guy in the bobsled because he’d have no skill at all like and II just sit there and so I thought you could do that well the way I see it there’s also an opening here for a guy who just sits here
