GYERO: Live from the Detroit Auto Show
This is Us...
Scene 1 * Family arrives at neighborhood pool. Husband, wife and 3 kids. Wife is stressed beyond belief and repeats herself 4 times to husband about the importance of finding the right pool chairs*.
HUSBAND.. "HONEY, HONEY. I GOT THIS. WHATEVER YOU NEED, BABE. I'LL GET IT DONE."
*husband frantically searches the entire pool area to find enough pool chairs but because it's packed there aren't any available close to the pool. he knows wife will not be pleased with result*
*kids start to wander aimlessly while husband searches for chairs. Wife starts to have a breakdown*
*husband returns sweaty and out of breath telling the wife the only chairs available are way in the very back*
WIFE... "WHAT?! DID YOU NOT KNOW WHERE THE KIDS ARE?! PAY ATTENTION FOR ONCE.
HUSBAND "I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO. UMM. UGHH. IM SO SORRY, HONEY. KIDS ARE RIGHT THERE. ILL DO BETTER. PLEASE."
Touch that nonsense. Rather watch reruns of Purdue vs Iowa than sit through that crap again.

Me too. That's why I was already #ChargedUp.
Some background: my day job sometimes entails finding tiny line items nuances in 100MM dollar projects. "That LED strip was picked up in the Engineer's budget and the in the 3Form FFE budget. The owner should get a credit for that." Etc.
So when the waitress screws up my wife's brioche French toast order, lies about it and disappears, my wife decides that meh, lets just eat this wrong order as quickly as possible and get the kid home for a nap. Turns out: the cook tried to hide the charred parts by plating arrangement. The waitress says she'll take it off since it's wrong, burnt, and untouched, but the manager only comps the upcharge $1 for fancy French toast, not French toast entirely: I will go ballistic.
"Ah, yes, sir what would you like to talk about?"
"I just want to talk about this bill you f----- up."
Protip: I end all of my restaurnt complaint emails with: "Your brand is tainted. Good luck."
Safe assumption that the Bob Evans manager met most of the kitchen staff out back after this little encounter, the group shared some heroin, then went back to finish his shift never to think of Joey again.
Win-win for everyone.
Win-win for everyone.
Would pay 10 bucks a month to watch a "THIS IS HEN" show written by Richie.
I made a solemn vow in my complaint to corporate to "never step in that Bob Evans location ever again." They took this very seriously as I stressed that I "grew up in a staunch Bob Evans household."
The only thing the man hates more than Isaac Humphries' lateral quickness is a stressed woman.
We had dinner at Carraba's friday night, and it was surprisingly good. She had the Tuscan chicken, which had a delightful wood fired flavor, and I the chicken parm. Our server was prompt and courteous, answered all our questions succinctly. Really couldn't have gone better.
...and it was only 10 steps from your porch.
Bob Evans, really? Isn't there a local greasy spoon in that shit hole area? Waffle House at worst.
I watch more shows with my children these days (The Flash, Teen Titans Go, RASSLIN) than my wife.
Favorite client ever...I fly planes for a living and if I screw up people die. So I'm not going to get worked up over that $10k upcharge on my concrete stained flooring. Wait...that's $10k? Screw it...let's play pool. I'll make it up on a double run next weekend.
I love nearly everything about Bob Evans.
So you took time out of your day to bitch about the fact that you didn't get 5 dollars off of a disgusting breakfast at a gross chain restaurant in the hopes you would get more free disgusting food? Or in the hopes of getting in trouble the manager that we can all assume hates his life and is completely miserable?
Somewhere right now, a naive 18 year-old hostess is getting plowed by an older, wiser, more experienced male bartender/server.

Bob Evans don't even exist in the south, and for that I am grateful. The southernmost POS they had used to be in richmond and since that thing shut down the quality of life around here has be tremendous.
What do you get to drive up there?
I'm glad Toyota is making sportier cars again. They kind of lost some ground to lesser manufacturers with more visually appealing and/or fun to drive rides, but they are still the mfn boss as long as they stick with those dope engines...
Ok, just saw pics...wow. Brand new engine, tho. 2.5 high compression, direct injected. Mazda influenced? The 3.5 is the duel injected "self cleaning" lexus engine. That's a game changer. Like the self cleaning oven. Shewee.
Supra coming back in 2019.

Any of you that want to play ball we are playing tonight at 6:00 at Christ Church United Methodist on Brownsboro. You can park on the side lot to the left of the front of the church and there's a door there on the side. Tweet me to let me know if you can play. Thx.

You haven't stopped thinking & talking about it since you found out.
Pretty weird bub. And gay (which is fine).

Haven't been to the Detroit Auto Show in about 5 years. Used to eat at an old, old local steakhouse called Carl's Chophouse that used to be Teamsters hangout and a Jimmy Hoffa favorite. One of those places where some would think it's old, but others would call it "Character." No longer in business.
1-inch thick ribeye, tho.

Yes. I am not one to try and stick it to, Ron. (Have you even seen Falling Down?) What if it's a single mother next time? We're trying to have a society here. Please take part. He's a big-time Christian, so he'll get over it. Don't worry about him.
And I clearly stated in my complaint email that "I don't even want any free food."
And if you think Bob Evans is disgusting, GFY. It's a known quantity (most of the time) kid-friendly setup for passable scrambled eggs, bacon, and pancakes seven minutes from my house. Get real.
I should've gone to my see my bros at the Northside Yacht Club for brunch. In hindsight, I deserved everything I got.

I mean, if you want some REAL local Detroit food, I know things...
The Autoshow is the only time I ever go to Downtown Detroit. It really is the worst. I go to the Detroit suburbs about once per month but never downtown. I mean Robocop was filmed there for a reason. #i'llbuythatforadollar
We're trying to have a society here.
I like Detroit. They've cleaned up the city a ton in the past decade. And people are slowly moving back. Going to be a 20-30 year process though. So much urban decay.
Its bits of information like this that keep me coming to GYERO everday. Thanks Max.
