Transcript:
TJ: "Thank for gettin' my food stuck runnin', Brad. I owe you"
Brad: "Yes, you do"
TJ: "That's why I've already planned to name a menu item after you!"
Brad: "Yeah? Like a hero sandwich? Or a hot chili-"
TJ: "Fruit Degroot"
Nice to see some friendly banter between these two. Sometimes TJ is so infuriating that it’s hard to remember why these two guys are friends. Today’s moment is a nice reminder. Best strip of the week, in my opinion:)
but, it can’t beat a dagwood. or, a beef on weck, a pat’s philly cheesesteak, a cuban, a RI dynamite, a gerber, a hot brown, portillo’s big beef, new orleans muffuletta, a po’boy, or a yakisoba-pan.
Wow! After all that grunt work and elbow grease ,for his contribution, Brad’s mind probably was picturing something that sounded like it had a bit more substance…. “Fruit Degroot” just sounds like the curveball sort of thing you don’t expect… something from out of left field… “Fruit Degroot”…makes for a good "punch"line! —Actually, maybe it IS a smoothie of some sort, or a non alcoholic sangria, or some other beverage…
I don’t know, Brad, maybe TJ cooking gourmet food for you for how many years now is a bit of a payback for you. Oh, or maybe your working on TJ’s truck is a bit of payback for TJ.
Donny, I didn’t say TJ couldn’t talk to girls, I said he doesn’t know how to care about them. He can get someone to go out with him. He can show her a good time. He can probably sometimes get her to spend the night, and is probably good at that part too. Then, when the time for real intimacy comes, he is at a loss. He doesn’t know how to connect with a woman the way that Gunther or Brad can if it’s the right woman.
Oh, I knew that, I just would just like to keep telling myself differently…. (still shuddering)….That would mean “Luanniverse time” would not be kind to her… What effects would it have on the others?
Still, she’d remind me of T.T…. and then I’d feel bad for the person in the room with him, Carrot Top, Richard Simmons, Slim Goodbody, Gilbert Gottfried, AND Bobcat Goldthwait? uggh… the…. vooooicess… the clothing choices… nooo! (shudders)…
Just a real quick side note… I don’t know if you remember the “reboot” of Beaver from the 80s? Had Eddie running a construction business, Beav at home with June and his kid (where else? ha ha!) and Wally next door with his family… ran into a clip on YouTube once…
hopefully, the don’t do a current re – re – boot.^Nope.. Unlessss…. J.J. Abrams gets a call from Disney… (more shuddering)… then the rest of the world will not be as we knew it, anymore…
“R.E.M. put out a song for that”^Yeah… " Marilyn Von-roe.. blah blah blah, yadda yaddda..Rock and roller cola wars, I can’t take it anymore…"No, wait…. it’s “…It’s Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, etc…” ==“…Start the Fire”…… “…End Of… And I Feel Fine”….I always get those two confusing name-checking songs mixed up…. (LOL!)

T.J.’s “fruit DeGroot” sounds like a fruit salad.
JayBluE over 11 years ago
He already forgot about the “Surf and Turf” he promised…..—Maybe today’s should also be subtitled: “Don’t You Forget About Me”…

“FRUIT DeGroot”, eh?
I got a BETTER idea: Brad, Why You STRIKE a Match and Use it to TEST the Flash Point of the Pomade in Old Smiley’s Hair?
Mikeyj over 11 years ago
I think “Fruity Degroot” has a better ring to it , but, I expect Brad would like that one even less.
JayBluE over 11 years ago
Brought to you, by…Fruit… it’s what’s for dinner…

Hey Wally! Brevity is the soul of wit! Nobody reads past your second (epic) paragraph. Decaf brother!

“Risotto Propane Flambe”^More like “Four Alarm Chilli” (appropriately named after his previous “Smoke on the Water” type faux pas)….

Thanks a heap, TJ, for nothing! What a lame repayment!

Brad seems to suddenly have an attitude. A defense mechanism against Toni’s smarts and abilities??

Toni macaroni. What you didn’t expect something cheesy from TJ?
drewpamon over 11 years ago
Didn’t TJ already promise Brad a share of ownership if he kept the food truck rolling?
dtegtmeier51 over 11 years ago

TJ only wishes Brad was fruity.
Miles VanDelay over 11 years ago
My but you do prattle on. Fortunately, I don’t have to read it.
Miles VanDelay over 11 years ago
You can call it a “Virgin Brad”.
Strike up the orchestra, her comes Lev’s one note symphony.
Miles VanDelay over 11 years ago
Toni’s mouth-watering Taco? I’m betting Brad eats that all the time.
JoeStoppinghem Premium Member over 11 years ago
In Minnesota, he would still need an address to to the front end and back end work.A lot of prep with those food wagons.
Miles VanDelay over 11 years ago
Not a Mexican food kind of guy? ;D
Elmer Gantry Fudd over 11 years ago
Yes, being terrified and unable to talk to women is SUCH an advantage in a marriage! Hahahahahaha! Probably in a male same sex marriage!

It’s like you try to turn away with your fingers in your ears, but the “Budwiser” jacket keeps distracting you… evil ploy on his part!
