(3:00) He was really looking forward to catching up with a few people. Several years ago, Vinnie did an episode about a previous class reunion. (6:00) In that episode, he shared a lot of thoughts about classmates. He was concerned for classmates who appeared to have many health concerns at a relatively young age. At this reunion, however, he was pleased to see how many people were in better shape and health. It was also nice because the atmosphere among the guests was more relaxed. They discuss brunch the following day and the chaos that followed. (33:00) Are donuts and beignets really a breakfast food? Vinnie shares his experience while visiting his parents. (48:00) They went to a restaurant where Vinnie ordered something that seems pretty harmless. Vinnie drives a lot for his trips, and they discuss how a good road trip can be good for the soul.
