Good job, man. I'm horny.

Rizz (0:23)

Okay, did I get you?

Rafe (0:24)

Yeah.

Rizz (0:26)

Well, you got something coming up on your birthday, Rafe.

Rafe (0:29)

I do. And I've done a bad job promoting, so this is my makeup on October 2nd and 3rd. My birthday is September 30th, which is a Wednesday, boo.

But that following weekend, my birthday weekend, because I will be claiming it as my own, I will be at the St. Charles Funny Bone doing four shows, Friday at 730 and 930, Saturday at 6 and 830 Go get your tickets. They're at stlouisfunnybone.com, go get your tickets. They're at stlouisfunnybone.com, come out. I'm gonna have a whole bunch of guest comics. I'm gonna be doing some improvised standup on the show too. I'm gonna have a suggestion box where you can leave some things you wanna hear me talk about on stage and I'll sort through them and I will go up on stage and do some improvised standup comedy on top of the regular standup. So it's always a wild show out there at St. Charles and I got some very special surprise guests. So Melissa, tell them, do a little promotion for me. Do a little, tell them to come out and see me on my birthday at St. Charles Funny Bone.

Melissa (1:26)

Come see Rafe at the St. Charles Funny Bone for his birthday weekend, the second and the third. He is hilarious.

You will laugh so hard that you will cry.

Moon (1:38)

It's so fun to watch.

Melissa (1:40)

He's amazing and any comics he brings with him that open, they are so good too. But Rafe, my gosh, he is the best.

Rafe (1:50)

Give me a happy birthday, Rafe, the way you say it to him.

Melissa (1:52)

Happy birthday, Rafe.

Moon (1:54)

Yes.

Rizz (1:55)

Did a spirit just walk through him?

Moon (1:57)

Are you close to buying tickets?

Rafe (1:59)

That doesn't get people to buy tickets. I don't know what will.

Melissa (2:01)

I got my tickets.

Lern (2:03)

So get your tickets.

Moon (2:03)

Luncheon Moon and Rizbo.

Devon (2:07)

I'm hanging in there. We're trying.

Rizz (2:10)

St. Charles Funny Bone.

Lern (2:11)

Yes.

Rafe (2:12)

St. Charles.

Melissa (2:13)

It's nice too and there's a lot of restaurants around.

Rizz (2:16)

Yeah. And speaking of that, I heard the Session Taco closed up there.

Rafe (2:20)

That's it.

Devon (2:20)

Yeah.

Rizz (2:20)

Yep.

Devon (2:21)

What a bummer.

Rafe (2:22)

The mean streets of St. Charles are hard to survive, my man.

Rizz (2:24)

Well, so those guys who owned Session, well, it was Mission, then they turned it to Session, and then they turned that St. Charles location into something else. And now that's done.

Didn't work.

Moon (2:35)

RIP.

Rizz (2:36)

RIP. But there are plenty of other fine dining, fine dining options up by this place.

Rafe (2:43)

This place next door we went, that place is good.

Rizz (2:45)

Prasino?

Moon (2:45)

Prasino.

Rizz (2:46)

That's good.

Melissa (2:46)

That place is good, man.

Devon (2:47)

Dude, if you go there, get the cauliflower gratin. It's the best single bite of food in all of St. Louis.

Melissa (2:52)

You will, too.

Rizz (2:53)

I agree, it's good, yes. The Bar Louie, remember we tried to go to the Bar Louie? That was gross.

Devon (2:57)

The Bar Louie is worth skipping.

Rizz (2:59)

The bathroom was disgusting.

Lern (3:00)

Yeah, it used to be gross. Maybe it was a bad night.

Rizz (3:02)

No.

Rafe (3:03)

I like the loaded nacho place.

Devon (3:04)

I think it's a bad decade.

Rafe (3:05)

We can just go, it's like just a nacho bar.

Rizz (3:07)

How about this? How about we go to the Brazilian Steakhouse and just eat, oh my god, just have just a belly full of meat and go see Rafe.

Lern (3:15)

You go ahead, I'll answer the show.

Devon (3:17)

That is a great spot.

Rizz (3:19)

Is it Tucano's?

Devon (3:19)

Tucano's, yeah.

Lern (3:21)

That's a great spot.

Rafe (3:21)

It's always packed.

Melissa (3:23)

Yeah, it is.

Rizz (3:26)

Every time I go to one of those Brazilian Steakhouses, I wind up hurting myself.

Melissa (3:29)

Yeah, that's the point.

Rizz (3:30)

I know.

Moon (3:32)

The light's always green. Yeah, you never flip the card to red.

Rizz (3:35)

The light's always green.

No, thank you. Imagine going to one of those places. Imagine on your anniversary. We were talking about anniversary dinners.

Moon (3:44)

Yeah, yesterday.

Rizz (3:45)

Like, bang it out before you go out.

Moon (3:46)

Yeah, you got to at a Brazilian. I understand the law of banging it out before you go Brazilian at the steakhouse.
